Hi, I'm George Owens, and

this is Sports Rap.

Hi, I'm Lynn Belvedere, and

I'd like to start breakfast.

Rehearsing for your broadcast debut?

Yeah, maybe.

Well, I'm sure you'll do quite well.

Go ahead, ask me a question.

Anything on sports.

Oh, I wouldn't dream. I mean, ha ha.

Come on!

A person of your knowledge?

What do you want to know?

Players? Stats? Records? In cricket.

If a batsman inadvertently

strikes the wicket

causing the bales to fall

before the bowlers' delivery,

is he penalized only one run

or is he out?

Yeah.

He's penalized one run.

he's out and he has to go eat

English food and he gets sick

and he dies

It turned around and no one sped.

All hands look out below.

There's a change in the status quo.

Gonna need all the help that

we can get.

According to our new arrival,

life is more than mere survival.

We just might live a good life yet.

I almost forgot I packed your

lunch I see that I think

it's a very good idea

you're gonna be sitting there

for four hours yes you'll see

I packed a few

sandwiches fruit some Oreo

cookies double stuff your

favorite a thermos of

tomato soup and an extra tie

just in case

Hey, Dad, can I come with

you to the radio station?

I've never been one. Can I?

Ha-ha!

Please, please, please!

Uh, gee, I don't know, pal.

Besides, I think it's gonna

be long and boring.

Oh, gonna tell a lot of your

stories, huh?

Delightful child.

Hey, Dad, you about ready to leave?

Pretty soon pal great

So you're going with him,

aren't you mom? No, honey.

I'm gonna stay home and study but mom.

That's what libraries are for

Why can't I study at home?

He's got a date Jennifer

Simpson's coming.

Oh, yeah. Well, it's no big deal

We're just gonna study together

Yeah

What are you gonna study?

Anatomy

So I bet she's a pretty hot

number, huh?

She's just a girl

Yeah, well, that's the main thing.

Honey, you better hurry.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Well, wish me luck. Good luck.

Bye, Dad.

And just reminding you again,

I'm George Owens.

This is Sports Rap.

I'm ready to take your calls

at 555-2222

and discuss any sports topic

or just shoot the breeze.

If you want to call right

now, I think we've got some

lines open, one through 12.

No one's calling him. Someone will.

This is so embarrassing.

Okay, I'm ready to rap with

you about baseball,

basketball, football.

How about those Steelers?

I think they stink. Any other opinions?

Okay, I need your notes for

World War II. Oh, okay.

Here you go.

One page for the whole war?

Oh, well, Mr. Yakamoto doesn't

like to talk about it much.

Okay, I also need your notes

for bio and trig.

Bio.

Trig.

Do you realize that because

of the insanity of the

world's situation,

We could all be dead tomorrow.

Is that why you don't take notes?

Kevin, our entire planet is

under assault.

Pollution, toxic waste, the

nuclear arms race,

exploitation of the land and

its creatures.

But if we could come

together, you know, unite as one,

oh, it could really make a difference.

I think it would for me.

Thanks for your call.

You're on sports rap.

Yeah, I have a question about soccer.

Fire away.

Yeah, remember that soccer

team that crashed in the Andes?

Did they really start eating

each other?

I don't know, but I wouldn't

blame them with that airline food.

Right now, five minutes for

news headlines.

This is getting gross.

My father's doing his best.

Hey, it's Saturday. Let's go someplace.

You mean you and me?

Yeah.

Oh, I don't think your father

expects us

to listen to the whole four hours.

Yes, I think 15 minutes is

more than enough.

Hey, Ed, let's go to the beauty parlor.

Oh, no, not that. Not that.

Oh, Mr. Belvedere, when

Heather was younger,

every once in a while,

we'd go and get our hair

done the same way.

Cute.

Yeah.

Then we put on identical

outfits with the same purses

and everything

and we go shopping.

I can just picture it.

Come on, Heather, it'll be fun.

Okay, okay.

God, I hope this is just a phase.

So, um, thanks for the notes and stuff.

I appreciate it. Oh, sure.

Listen, Jennifer, I've been

thinking about what you said,

about the planet and how we're

sitting on the eve of destruction.

Yeah.

So, uh, you wanna see a

movie tonight, when there's still time?

Uh, listen, Kevin, I like

you, and I think you're cute

in a transient sort of way,

but I've got other commitments.

Oh.

Well, I understand.

Listen, um, I'm handing out

pamphlets at the mall this afternoon.

We're trying to stop the

slaughter of animals for their

skins and pelts.

Oh, yeah, I hate that sort of stuff.

I really do.

If you want to help, meet me

at three in front of the hickory hut.

Great.

Then after we're through,

maybe we could, you know, do

something else.

Uh, yeah, maybe.

But you should know one thing.

I won't sleep with anyone

unless I respect their

political convictions.

Hey, Jennifer, wait up.

Hey, where are we going?

Shhh. We're here.

Oh yeah, first store.

We'll hand out the pamphlets, stop

the people from going in.

That's not the plan.

What are you gonna do with that?

What do you think?

Spray the windows?

Windows can be cleaned, Kevin.

A stable jacket can't.

Hey, hey, wait a minute.

We're gonna get in a lot of trouble.

Kevin, that's the point.

We've got to take a stand,

make a statement, get some attention.

Yeah, well, I get a lot of

attention at home.

You know, Kevin,

These last few hours that we

spent together have shown me

that you're a person with

courage and integrity.

Someone I believe that I

could really get active with.

What exactly do you mean by that?

I want to go all the way, Kevin.

With this.

May I help you?

Sure.

Uh, my husband and I are

looking for a fur.

You two are married? Uh, yeah.

Well, any type of quality fur

is very expensive.

Oh, that's okay. We've got

lots of money.

We won the Publishers Clearing

House sweepstakes.

We couldn't believe it happened to us.

Well, we just received a

lovely Norwegian mink.

We'd love to see it.

this is it how about this

isn't this stunning and

remember this isn't just

the coat it's an investment

man oh certain this is for

all the minks in

and all over the world.

What are you, crazy?

Security!

Yeah, they had some cases there.

Back in those days, it was

really illegal to cork bats.

Everybody was corking bats.

What they did was cut the

top of the bat off, then drill a hole,

put a piece of cork in it,

and made the ball travel further.

I remember one of those guys

one afternoon hit a home run.

The ball went unbelievably

far, and the end of the bat

ended up in right field.

It was unbelievable.

You had to be there to see it.

It was really funny.

Come on, Picasso. Time to

make another statement.

Hey, look, I've never been

arrested before, you know? Don't worry.

I'll be gentle.

Park it over there, honey.

Hi.

Hi.

How you doing?

Fine. Just, just fine.

Were you in up with people?

No.

Thought I recognized you.

Okay, honey, we're gonna need

a little more information from

you and then we'll move you

right along.

Oh.

Okay.

Full name?

Mud.

Is that with one or two Ds?

Oh, no, no. It's Owens.

Kevin B. I was joking.

Oh, maybe later we can share a laugh.

Yes, Wally's world of beanbag

furniture, the economy-minded

wave of the future,

goes with any decor and

you've never been oh, so comfortable.

Wesley, not in the house for that.

I'm bored.

Then go outside.

I don't want to go out tonight.

Hey, let's play Parts Easy again.

No, you cheat.

Well, I'm a kid.

Besides, you take too long to move.

Watch how fast I pack.

Wait, wait, Mr.

Builder, don't go in there. I'm sorry.

It's okay, Wesley.

It's been a long afternoon

for both of us.

Well, let's try Scrabble again.

Fine, fine.

Just remember,

mooney moola is not a word.

It's aluminum.

Backwards.

He's talking again.

Okay, kiddo, so much for

pictures and prints,

and now it's time for the cage.

No writing on the walls, no

spitting on the floors,

no vulgar behavior of any kind.

Uh, what if I have to go to

the bathroom?

I believe the same dynamic applies.

Hi.

Hi.

I can't get this stuff off

my hands, huh?

Lead?

Ink?

I was hoping we'd have

something in common.

I'm gonna go stand over there now.

Wow, it's just like Dragonet!

Hey, Kevin.

What's going on?

Am I somebody?

No. Hello, Kevin. Hi, Mr.

Belvedere. Anything new?

Excuse me. I take it you're Mr. Owens?

If that is meant to be a

joke, it's in very poor taste.

I don't believe this. I just

don't believe it.

Mom, it looks great.

I mean, I don't believe this.

This we will talk about later.

Hey, Mom, look at Kevin.

Hey, Kevin, look at Mom.

Kevin, you are right, honey.

Yeah.

Are you?

Excuse me, ma'am.

Are you Mrs.

Owens? Yes, I'm Marcia Owens.

Oh, well, I'm Sergeant Wentworth.

I'm the arresting officer.

Well, Sergeant.

Sergeant, I may not have all

the facts yet, but I do

happen to be studying to be

an attorney.

And as someone who has a

working knowledge of the law,

I must tell you, this is a good boy!

Oh, Mom!

There you are, you butcher! Hi, Mr.

Beckman.

You wanted to kill me.

Why didn't you just stick a

knife in my heart?

That would have been faster.

Kevin, what's going on?

Well, according to Mr.

Beckman here, your son ran into his

first shop with this spray can and...

And did this?

Wow!

Just like Zorro!

Where's the Heather?

Let's go and look at the

wanted posters.

Perhaps you'll see someone you know.

You painted a mink?

Uh-huh.

Are you crazy?

I was protesting.

Oh, come on, kid.

It's a mink, for God's sake!

They raise them on farms like

wheat that still doesn't make it right

What do you care?

My business is in the toilet. Anyway, I

mean

Whatever happened to a fox

rat and an evening at the theater

Raccoon colt in an army Navy game

What happened to glamour?

What happened to you? Look, Mr.

Beckman, my son is at a very

stupid age.

But he means well.

Oh, I'm sure he does.

Look, you must have children.

I never married.

No. But if you did, you'd

know that kids sometimes

act impulsively.

And... All right.

All right. I know.

He's a model citizen.

The point is that... Forget it.

I was young once myself.

So you'll drop the charges?

Sure. Why not? Thank you.

Just give me the 2,300 bucks

for the mink and I'll forget

the whole thing.

But it's got paint on it. Book it!

Okay, okay.

Do you have a phone I can use?

Sure right over there. Thank you.

You stay put

Well Kevin Kevin Kevin what what what

Come now that you're not the

first person to suffer for

something he believes in. Oh

Sure, I

certainly admire your convictions

Oh, yeah, convictions, right.

Save the seals.

Read all about it.

You know, Kevin, long ago,

before it was fashionable,

a friend and I intercepted a

Soviet whaling vessel

off the coast of Gibraltar. Oh, yeah?

Braving the frigid and turbulent seas

of the North Atlantic, we

boarded the Karenina

and lashed ourselves to the

harpoon guns.

They left us chained there

for two weeks

And then booted us into the Black Sea

Boy she must have been some

girl wonderful girl

Terrible swimmer

That's right, that's right Van

Lingo mongo pitcher ten years

with the Dodgers you win your fiver pal

Okay, next call

Sports rap you're on the air

George Kevin's in jail What?

Who is this?

Marcia? Yeah, George, listen, honey.

He, uh, he was in a protest.

Protest.

He did a little damage and

they arrested him.

Yeah, he's here. Fine, fine.

I'll put him right on.

Mr. Belvedere?

Phone.

Hello, is this sports rap?

Don't get cute with me, Belvedere.

I know you're behind this.

My kids were never interested

in anything until you showed up.

George, I hate to disappoint

you, but I had absolutely

nothing to do with it.

Come on, come on.

It's me, remember?

What was it?

Nuke the whales?

Free the Indy 500?

What?

George, it was an affair of the heart.

He did it for the girl.

Oh...

Kevin!

Watch what you're doing. Sorry, Mr.

Belvedere.

So how's it going in there, Kev?

Oh, getting it cleaned, Dad.

Way I got it figured out.

You've already worked off

close to seven bucks.

Well, the night's young.

Your popcorn, George.

Actually, this isn't too bad.

To wear in the house.

In the dark.

I think it looks kind of punk, Mom.

Yeah, it matches your hairdo.

This tastes like a duralong.

Ah, Mata Hari.

Is Kevin around?

Yes.

He's in the fireplace.

Oh.

Can I have a word with him?

That depends.

Do you have a miner's helmet? Uh, Mr.

Belvedere, I'll talk to her.

Okay.

Well, let's go, gang.

Well, children, have a nice chat.

Thank you.

I can't believe she had the

nerve to show her face.

Look who's talking.

So, Witta, it seems I'm in

the doghouse around here.

Yeah, well, you're not the only one.

Yeah, I can see that.

Listen, Kevin, I appreciate

you keeping my name out of this.

My parents would have killed me.

Hey, uh, it's no big deal.

So, you, um, you want to do

something sometime?

Go see a movie or get a burger?

You've earned it. Uh, yeah.

Well, that sounds nice, but I

think I'm going to be tied

up for the next six or seven years.

Besides, I'm grounded.

No movies, no TV, no stereo.

I think I can use a toaster.

I'm sorry, but I'm sure that

there's something that we could do.

Yeah, well, that sounds nice, too.

But I think I'm going to

save that for someone whose

convictions I respect.

I guess I had that coming.

Bye Jennifer.

Goodbye Kevin.

I think I'll go back in the

chimney now.

Week seven.

I find Kevin's little escapade

of the furriers has made my

life in the Owens household a

great deal easier.

Kevin is so sincere in his

efforts to work off his debt,

he's actually been waiting on me.

That's it, Kevin.

That's a good lad.

Happily all this leisure time

has left me free to pursue

interests and convictions of

my own, as well as make new friends.

Nice catch, Sinbad.

You
