All language subtitles for The Wonder Years 2021 S2E06

I'm not saying the kids in the 1960s
were braver than the kids today, but

wasn't much that scared us. Except the
sound of an angry 1960s father.

I don't even know what I did, but I knew
it was bad because Daddy had his, I'm

serious, leg crossed, and Mama had her,
please don't hit him too hard, Bill,

face on. You mind telling me what's
going on with this report card I just

opened? I am so sorry I got a C and P. I
don't care about the C and P.

I'm glad they finally put you on the
boys' team.

I'm mad about your music grade.

But I got an A in music.

Exactly. I've heard you practice.

No way you're an A student.

Phil, go easy on him. That was me going
easy.

Only my dad would find a way to be mad
about the highest possible grade.

I'm going down to that school tomorrow
to speak with his music teacher.

Ooh, maybe he'll show up right when
you're being stuffed into a locker.

Shut up, Kim.

But don't come between second and third
period.

No reason.

Well, I'm just happy Dean's in trouble
for once, and not me.

Well, we also got the phone bill in, and
who on God's green earth do you know in

Mobile at 10 o 'clock at night?

Huh?

Hey, D, come check this out.

Oh.

When Corey turns 14 next month, he's
going to get his motorcycle license.

So your parents are going to let you get
a motorcycle?

Well, no, but...

All I need is the license to show girls.
Man, this makes me want to watch Easy

Rider again.

I know.

You guys have seen Easy Rider? Of course
we have.

It's the coolest movie of the year. But,
I mean, how?

It's rated R. My dad took me. They
actually let me in by myself because of

mustache. Yeah, I still can't see it.

Oh, well, you know, that's cool. My
parents are taking me this weekend.

Even said I can have two boxes of candy.

It's no big deal. You're going to love
it, Dean. It has everything.

Acid chips, violence, and did I
mention...

There's boobs.

Boobs.

Please, Mr. Vandekant.

I'm Dean Williams' father.

Oh, please.

Please, call me Alan.

How can I help you?

I'd like to talk to you about his grade
in music class.

I'm confused.

I think I gave Dean an A.

Yes, and I think we both can agree he
doesn't deserve that, and his grade

be lowered.

Okay.

This is a first. I don't mean any
disrespect. I just want Danny to be

more. I have higher expectations for
him.

I'm actually a professional musician
myself.

I know.

I must have seen you play at Delwood a
dozen times. You know about Delwood?

I wouldn't be much of a music teacher if
I didn't know the jazz club that

produced Scooty Carmichael. You know
about Scooty? They say he invented six,

seven times at Delwood.

I know all the Scooty legends.

I'm just surprised that you do.

Because I'm so tall?

Yeah, something like that.

Look, if you're looking to see Dean more
challenged, I'm happy to stay after

school with him a couple of days a week.
He's got real talent.

I think that's a great idea.

Unless we pass the point where I can
bribe you to lowest grade.

Yeah, that ship has sailed, my brother.

But before I could ask my mom to let me
see a super cool movie with boobs, I was

getting extra school.

Hey, hey now.

Hey, Dean.

Why don't we show your dad what we've
been working on?

Is that oxtail boogie?

Yes. Yes, it is. Great error, Bill.

Thought you'd get a kick out of that.

You were flagged. I actually... Back
then, album covers were offensive.

I brought the real thing.

Wow.

Scooty live at the road note from 52.

The note, baby. I never thought I'd see
one of these in real life.

You got a minute to listen?

Well, I'm supposed to get Dean back for
dinner.

But I could probably listen to a bit.

You know, a lot of people don't know
this, but Scootie played more than just

sax. Uh -oh. The one thing we knew in
our family was that when Daddy started

talking about jazz, we were in for a
long one. Legend has it, he was the only

person in his high school marching band.

Eventually, I had to go to the pay phone
and call Mama to come rescue me.

Thing, you said your dad forgot about
you, but he's right there.

You hear that?

You hear that right there. I don't
believe it. I know. He's talking jazz.

Bill. Hey.

Oh, me the only man who knows more about
Scooty Carmichael than me. God help me.

Hi, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm
Dean's music teacher, Alan Vanderkam.

you believe he has an original Scooty
Carmichael from 52?

I cannot.

I'm going to take Dean home before he
starves to death.

Y 'all don't stay out too late now.

Oh, and I made spaghetti, so you know if
you eat too late, you'll get the

heartburn. Lillian, I'll be fine. Wow,
turns out wives were just as good at

embarrassing you in front of your
friends as moms were.

Oh, yeah.

This is how it starts, right?

Well, well, well.

Look who's finally back from talking
jazz with his new friend.

I'll admit, I am surprised I enjoyed
talking to him as much as I did.

He's a lot cooler than I thought.

Saying he's a teacher.

Well, he seems to be a great guy for a
teacher.

You'll get to know him better this
weekend.

He invited us to a dinner party.

Oh, darn it. I'm busy that night.

I didn't even tell you today yet.

What's so bad about going to a dinner
party with me?

Sorry, I just don't want to get stuck
talking about improvisation and

syncopation all night.

Wow. After all the corporate picnics
I've been to with you, I have to do a

three -legged race with Mr. Davidson. He
secretly liked winning, though.

Fine. You've done a lot for me.

I could do this one for you. But if one
person starts scatting, oh, help me God.

You mean like this?

I'm a bit wasted. Don't you try me.

Hey there, best big brother

in the world.

What are you going to do?

Oh, wow. Army intelligence trained you
real well.

Anyway, I need you to take me to see
Easy Rider. I'm the only one of my

who hasn't seen it yet.

I'll do your basket of laundry.

Deal.

Seriously?

Sure. I want to see it anyway.

Wait, so you'll take me?

Even though it has graphic violence,
nudity, and drug use? There's no way I

handle all that.

How bad can it be?

Bruce had just come back from the war.
His barometer for violence was clearly

off, which worked out great for me.

Hey, Bruce, I need the car keys.

I'm headed to a college party tonight.

Too late, Kim.

I already told Dean I was taking him to
the movies tonight.

What? No, I need to go to this. How
could I know what college I want to go

next year if I don't sample the parties?
Well, from what I hear, college is

about more than that. I've already been
to a football game.

Wait, wait, wait.

I'm sure we can come to some sibling
agreement here.

How about we drop Kim off before the
movie if she does your basket of

Deal.

Well played, Dean.

Well played.

But you should have been more specific.

Because this one's still for you.

Fabric softener.

On all the drawers.

My hat look okay?

Yes, Bill.

And you sure a jello mold is a good
thing to bring?

I know my audience.

Okay, good.

And you sure the hat looks okay? Because
I can lose it. The hat looks great.

He surprised you when Alan hit it off so
well? Well, maybe at first.

But once he started talking music, it
was like talking with any other guy. He

means any other black guy. I'm glad
you're coming, Lil.

You're a little more used to these kind
of parties.

He means white parties.

Well, don't worry.

I'll stick by your side.

Last thing I need is to be stuck with a
bunch of housewives talking about

Tupperware and dress patterns.

Thank you, honey.

Let's hurry up.

They like to start there if they don't
have time. He means everybody but black

people.

Jello mold is absolutely amazing.

Here, you can just put it right here on
the table.

Oh, look who's here.

It's my wife, Patty.

What a pleasure it is to meet you. Bill,
I hear so much about you from this one

over here.

I kind of let it slip that you worked
with Marvin Gaye and everyone is just

dying to hear all your stories. Oh, if I
got stories. Let's do it.

Well, shouldn't I come with? Oh, no, no.
I'll be fine. You ladies have fun

together.

We're to the Y.

Mary gives a hard sell on the
Tupperware. She's a force.

I sell Tupperware.

Oops. I almost forgot a bowl.

It's in the pantry.

Gotta have a bowl.

Oh.

Do you like Tupperware?

So, how exactly do you expect to get
into a college party?

Don't worry. My friend Gloria is going
to meet me and let me in.

Enough chitchat. Hurry up and get out so
we don't miss the fucking popcorn and

candy.

You said come.

ID, please.

No, I'm just looking for Gloria.

Then I need your ID.

Two.

I left it in my dorm.

Which dorm?

That one.

Right over there. Sorry, I am so bad
with names.

That's the math building.

No, no, no. Fine, the math building.

You mean the creek.

Excuse me.

Come on, Kim's fine. Nothing bad ever
happens at college party.

Bruce?

Bruce Williams, is that you?

Hey, yo!

Hold tight a sec. I ain't seen these
cats since high school. Well, then that

means they're probably not that
important. Let's go.

Tight a sec, okay.

That'll break it.

Come see Easy Rider. It's the movie
everyone's been talking about. Now in

final weekend. And screw that parental
supervision.

Don't be such a baby.

Okay, maybe it didn't happen exactly
that way, but I was determined to see

movie. I found when it comes to fabric,
you cannot beat 100 % polyester. Right?

I have the cutest pattern, and I'm going
to make all the kids matching

jumpsuits. Oh.

Hey, uh, ladies know if the jacuzzi's
ready?

It's warming up right now.

Cool. Lillian, you and Bill should join
us in the hot tub. Oh, it is so fun.

Oh, thank you, but...

Unfortunately, we didn't bring any
swimsuits.

Don't worry.

Neither did we.

Bruce wasn't leaving anytime soon.

If I wanted to see the movie, I'd have
to find some adult willing to bring a

into a theater.

Luckily, it was the 60s, when adults
were still cool.

All right, all right. Come on, guys.
Come on. Enough of the war stories.

I want to hear about you two.

Well... I actually just got named the
starting shortstop for the baseball team

here. That's great. Hey, you always
could pick it.

Hey, man, I could put in a good word
with the coach for you if you're

interested, even if it would put me on a
bench like you did in high school.

Yeah, I think my baseball day is over.

I heard you were wounded.

Sorry.

But it must be real nice to be working,
huh?

Yeah, I'm actually not working much
either.

I'm still getting disability checks from
the Army.

Well, your hair sure has gotten long.

Right.

I'm never getting into that party,
Bruce. We can leave.

Okay, Kim.

But where's Dean?

I thought he was with you. No, he was. I
only took my eye off him for one

second. At this moment, I was being
chased across the creek by the wino who

claimed he owned it. Dean!

Then a few minutes later, Marvin Gaye
comes out the head and says, Well, I

there is a mountain high enough.

Phil, I think we should go home.

What? Why?

I think that this is some kind of sex
party. You have got to stop reading

Cosmopolitan magazine.

Sex party? My goodness, William.

Just be cool.

Hey, you guys want to come down to the
basement? I just had it completely

soundproof.

Because I got my whole recording studio
down there.

Hang on one sec.

I'm gonna need your keys. Oh, no. No.

This has gone on long enough. I know
what's happening here.

Is everything all right? No, it's not.

Because this is a key party. For the
love of God, be cool.

No, Bill. I read about it in Cosmo. All
the couples put their keys into a bowl,

and then they draw keys to see who's
swinging with who.

But we are not here for your kinky
games, Alan.

Uh, we just need Bill's keys so we
can...

Move his car so Ted and Kathy can go
home. You're blocking them in.

Oh.

You know what?

No need.

I think it's best if we leave, too.

Thank you for having us, Alan.

Mary, I'll send you a check for the
deluxe seal of Thursday.

Why do all the buildings look the same?

Damn public funding.

Um, excuse me.

Can you tell me how to get to the movie
theater?

And please don't tell me to look for up
your butt street.

I'm not falling for that twice.

Oh, wow. You're going in the completely
wrong direction.

Is that an Erlenmeyer flask?

How do you know what that is?

The chemistry said at home.

Huh. Well, if you're excited about the
beaker, wait until you see.

The lab.

Wow, this lab, it has everything.

So many chemicals and safety warnings.

This is the greatest night of my life.

Sadly, that remained true for many years
after.

I'm sorry I ruined your new friendship.

I'm so embarrassed.

It's fine.

No, it's not.

You haven't made a new friend since the
band broke up.

Please. It's not like I'm 10.

Stupid band. I hate them.

Oh, no.

What now?

You know, the commotion. I must have
left my purse there.

No way I'm going back into that house.

Okay. I'll just go to the department
store tomorrow and buy a new one.

And a new wallet.

Some new sunglasses.

This is way cooler than Easy Rider.

Whoa.

The revolving power on this bad boy is
through the roof.

Huh. You really know your stuff. I don't
know why all those kids are at that

party when they could be in here.

Party?

Oh, I guess I wasn't invited.

Oh, I'm sorry. I know how that feels.

No, no need to apologize.

I'm doing exactly what I want to be
doing on my Saturday night.

So, you wouldn't want to go to a party
or a movie just because your friends are

going? Not really.

I mean, that's the cool thing about
college.

You don't have to do things you don't
want to do.

We should really get you back to your
brother and sister.

Yeah, you're right.

But maybe just one more diopter
adjustment?

What the hell?

How are you feeling after seeing your
old friend?

I'm fine.

Clearly, Bruce was just like Dad when it
came to expressing his emotions.

Hey, does the one on the beautiful team
got a girlfriend?

He is a fuck. And clearly, Kim was
nowhere near like Mom when it came to

people feel better. Never mind.

You ever think about going to college?

I guess.

I don't know.

I think about it all the time.

I'm a little scared, honestly.

I guess that.

Wouldn't be very scary for you. You've
already seen the world.

Well, if anybody's ready for college,
it's you, Ken.

Okay, remember when you were 12 and your
Barbie lived in a Malibu dream dorm?

Too bad they don't give scholarships for
accessorizing.

Who knows?

Maybe we can enroll together.

You know we'd go for free at dad's
school.

Great. I'd get to go to college with my
brother and my dad.

Oh, there they are.

Dean! Where you been, man? How'd you get
into the party, and why you ain't come

out and get me? Oh, well, when I got
lost trying to find my way to the

Cynthia found me and brought me back
here.

She let me see the inside of the
chemistry lab. They have tungsten

light bulbs.

Well, now that you're safe, I think I'm
going to head back inside.

Turns out the party's more fun than I
thought.

So, Junebug, I said bye.

Wow.

We've had more college experience than
both of us put together.

Ah, Junebug.

Bill? Sorry, I... That's not Alan.

What?

All y 'all up in here naked?

So Lillian was right. This was a sex
party all along. No, no, no. It was a

dinner party. But then some like -minded
friends like to stick around after

dinner for a second dessert.

Why didn't you say that earlier?

We assumed you and Lillian weren't into
this.

That's not why we invited you to the
dinner party. Oh, really?

You sure you didn't tell us because you
didn't want a black couple joining on

your sex party?

You know what?

We'll give you two some privacy.

Thanks, baby.

I'm sorry, Bill.

Hey, man.

What you do in your private life is your
own business.

It's a little caught off guard is all. I
enjoy talking to you because...

To be honest, I don't have that many
friends who aren't into this. He means

-freaks. I've been in music business for
years.

I've definitely seen some things, but
this beats my story about mistakenly

getting Billy Holiday dry cleaning.

Hope this doesn't mean we can't still
talk jazz together.

Of course we can. Just give me a few
days to forget this image.

You got it, my man.

Weeks.

Were they still upset?

I think they've gotten over it.

Look, Bill, I just want to say again how
sorry I am.

Apologies, sir.

Hey, how was the dinner party?

Fine.

How was your night here?

Fine. Yeah,

there was no need for any more details
than that. But as a result, 15 years

later, Dad did co -write the Houdini
songs Friends and The Freaks Come Out at

Night.
