(crowd cheering)

(Applauding)

(Sighs)

Well, kids, how do you like performing in an amusement park?

Great.

But it'd be even perfect if cotton candy was deductible.

I think this week's gonna be a lot of fun.

I haven't been on those rides since I was in high school.

Say, tomorrow, why don't we perform at the top of that tower?

It must be at least 300 feet tall.

(Sighing) If man were supposed to sing in high places,

he would have been born a soprano.

If I didn't know better, I'd say that you're afraid of heights.

I am not afraid of heights.

I know better.

You wouldn't ride the roller coaster with me.

That's kid stuff.

But you rode the merry-go-round.

And got sick.

I did not.

I was... Thinking.

I always think by putting my head between my knees.

All right, kids.

Leave Keith alone.

Yeah, leave Keith alone.

You're defending me?

What's in it for you?

Well, I was thinking

maybe you and I could drive

into Cincinnati and see a movie?

(Sighing)

Look, Danny, I'm tired,

and there's no way I'm gonna leave this room.

I'm sorry to hear that.

The park is sending over a public-relations man

to show us around.

He should be here any time.

How about if I just don't go?

I'm sure no one's gonna miss me.

That's true.

Mrs. Partridge?

Yes?

I'm Audrey parson.

From kings island?

Not the public-relations man.

Well, I am from public relations.

Please, come in.

Oh, thank you.

I'd like to make your stay as pleasant as possible,

and, well, I thought you might enjoy a ride into town.

Well, we were just told you were coming over

and we haven't had time to change.

But it'll only take us a minute.

I'll be right back, miss parson.

Yes. Yeah.

I'm gonna go change my shirt.

I thought you were too tired.

He's gonna watch me change my shirt.

(People chattering)

And if you need any help with the children...

Hi, mom. Hi, Reuben.

Hi, there. Hi.

Looks like you're all ready for a swim.

Well, it's not my favorite sport,

but I left my Polo pony at home.

Would you care for a drink?

Oh, yes, thank you. I'll have a bloody Mary.

Vodka on the rocks for me.

A vodka on the rocks sounds good.

Make mine a vodka on the rocks, too.

Second thought, make mine rocks, hold the vodka.

He likes his drinks dry.

Well, while I'm waiting to get my rocks,

I think I'll go take a dip in the water.

Anybody want to race me across the pool?

I don't think so.

Okay, then, I guess I'll just go limber up

by doing a one-and-half gainer off the low board,

with a twist.

You must be very good.

Oh, it's nothing.

(Chuckles)

Why don't you dive off the high board?

Because miss parson wants to see me dive off the low board.

What's Keith up to?

He's gonna try a one-and-a-half gainer...

With a twist.

Keith?

He usually bounces once

and then holds his nose.

Well, here goes.

(Sighs)

(Splashing)

Keith, are you all right?

(Gasps) Ooh.

I'll get him.

Of all people, why did Danny have to be the one to save me?

You shouldn't have been showing off in the first place.

You think I was showing off?

Not the way it turned out.

I take it you were trying to impress miss parson.

What gave you an idea like that?

Well, you don't belly flop for just anybody.

Okay. Okay, if you want to know the truth,

I think I'm in love with her.

She even said she might have dinner with me tonight.

What do you think of that?

That's what I thought you'd think.

Laurie.

I know, I know.

Take care.

Keith...

She's a very pretty woman.

Mom, I know what you're gonna say.

You think I can't love Audrey

'cause she's a little older than I am.

A little older? She's 10 or 12 years older.

You're right, and in the old days,

that would have been a problem.

But times have changed. Today, people are freer.

They're more honest about their feelings.

In this day and age, anything can happen.

Love does not ask to see your ID.

(Guitar playing solo)

(Applause)

Hi, everybody.

Oh, hi, what a... Surprise.

Won't you sit down?

Here, allow me.

I wondered why he brought all that equipment.

He was saving her a seat.

Where's your mother?

Oh, she and Reuben are having dinner

with the director of the park.

I guess that just leaves you and me, huh?

What about the rest of us?

(Chuckles)

He's just a child.

Oh, right.

He doesn't realize that we're not here.

Would you like something to eat?

Keith: Waiter, waiter!

Oh, no, thank you.

I just stopped by to see how you're doing.

My job is to see that you're all entertained.

I'm glad you said that.

You know, I'm not entertained.

I thought maybe you could take me out and show me the town.

Just the two of us.

Oh, I'm sorry, but I already have a date for tonight.

But you're a doll for asking.

Oh, any time.

Ooh, I'd better be going.

It's getting late.

Night, everybody.

Good night.

Good night, Ken.

(Snickering)

What's so funny?

Nothing, nothing.

Um, would you pass the salt, please, Ken?

Right.

Right. Bye.

(Knock on door)

Come in.

Hi. Hi, Ken.

It's Keith.

Keith.

It's okay.

Look, I just happened to be passing by,

and I thought maybe if you weren't busy,

you might show me around the park.

I'm sorry. I already have a date.

Hi.

What are you doing here?

Well, miss parson is gonna show me around the park.

Well, I'll be happy to show you both around.

Fine.

Let's start on the roller coaster.

I'm sure Audrey doesn't want to go on the roller coaster.

Oh, I love roller coasters.

If you want to sit this one out...

I love the roller coaster.

Great.

Great.

Let's go.

Well, I want to thank you boys for taking me out.

I had a wonderful time.

It was a great day.

Oh, yeah, great.

I hope you're feeling better now.

Oh, just fine.

Just a case of malaria. It comes and goes.

Well, thanks again. Bye.

Danny: Bye.

You red-headed hamburger!

Keith, now, don't exert yourself.

You don't have your strength back yet.

I've got enough to wring your neck if you had one.

Stop it. What's going on?

He made a fool out of me in front of Audrey.

You didn't.

Not totally.

You got a lot of sympathy points when you got sick.

Danny partridge.

I was doing it for his own good.

You shouldn't have done it at all.

I had no choice.

What does that mean?

It means I realized today

that I, too, am in love with miss parson.

It hit me between the roller coaster and the octopus.

Danny, this is no time for your jokes.

I've never been more serious in my life.

Keith, I'm sorry it has to be this way.

But only one of us can win, so good luck.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I think I'll go to my room and write some poetry.

Well, aren't you gonna go talk to him?

I will, later.

First of all,

I want to know why you think I should talk to him.

The whole thing's silly. She's a woman and he's a child.

Right.

Sound familiar?

Oh, there's a big difference between Danny and I.

Can you see her going to the seventh-grade dance with him?

Do you think she'd be more at home at your high school prom?

No.

No, I can't see her at the high school prom, either.

When you think about it that way,

I guess I must look as silly as Danny does.

Honey, it isn't silly.

It's just a part of growing up.

Mom, about that talk with Danny,

he isn't gonna listen to you any more than I did.

Maybe it'd be better if I had a talk with him.

Since I've been through it, maybe he'll listen to me.

I think that'd be just fine.

I'm stuck.

Can you think of a romantic word that rhymes with "Ain't"?

Bye.

Hi. Hi.

Where you going?

Um, I heard miss parson might be coming over today.

Do you think I look more mature in a bow tie?

You look fine.

I want to talk to you about miss parson.

I realized that I don't really love her.

Great.

Then I have the whole field to myself.

I was only infatuated with her, just like you.

Nope. I'm in love.

That's the difference between us.

I'm not wishy-washy.

Danny, miss parson is a very beautiful woman.

I know what you're gonna say.

You think I can't love her

'cause she's a little older than I am.

She's not a little older.

She's a lot older.

That's very true, and in the old days,

that might have made a difference.

But things are different today.

People are freer.

Danny, she's 20 years older than you are.

Love doesn't ask to see your hall pass.

Well, here I go.

What are you doing?

Trying to look like I have a neck.

(Sighs)

Your show last night was the best one so far.

Well, that's because the stage wasn't moving

and Keith's voice didn't crack.

Danny: Hi.

Hi.

Danny, is something wrong with your neck?

Nope.

She noticed my neck.

Why are you so dressed up?

Well, uh,

because if you aren't doing anything today, miss parson,

I thought you might like to go out with me.

There's a great movie playing. Dracula bites the world.

It's gp.

Oh, Danny, I'm sorry,

but I already have a date.

You fink!

Me?

Danny, Keith isn't taking out miss parson.

Here comes my date.

All ready to go?

I certainly am, sir.

Will you excuse us?

There's a great movie playing. Dracula bites the world.

That sounds fabulous.

That does it.

That's the last time I'm sticking my neck out for a woman.

I know one older woman who has a big crush on you.

Thanks, mom.

But since it's you, can I take off my tie?

Oh, brother.

Mr. Kincaid, why don't you come swimming?

No, no, thanks, kid. I get dishpan body.

Hi, Mr. Kincaid.

We're having a poolside picnic. Want a sandwich?

Uh, no. No, thanks.

Excuse me.

Private call. Business.

Come on, kids.

Hello, may I speak to Audrey parson, please?

I wonder what business he has with Audrey.

Those older women will tear your heart out, Reuben.

Would you all please go away?

Hi, Audrey?

This is Reuben.

Reuben Kincaid.

I'm a... I'm a friend of Chris and Danny's.

Right, that Reuben.

I just wondered if you were doing anything tonight.

I thought maybe you and I would... oh.

Uh, well, maybe some other time, then.

Bye.

(Clears throat)

Well, it's no reflection on you, Reuben.

I mean, better men than you have failed.

I know. I was one of those better men.

Danny, you know what us men do when we lose a girl?

What?

Drown our sorrows.
