Honey, don't get rid
of comfortable clothes

just because they're old.

Dick, clothes are not
like wine.

They are not meant to be

stashed in the corner
of a dark closet for years.

[ Sighs ]

They-- they were there for--
for a reason.

Oh? Let's hear it.

Because I-- I knew
if you found them,

this would happen.

Here it is!

My old high school yearbook.

The Agrarian.

I haven't looked through this
for ages.

Don't let Joanna see it.
She's on a roll.

There we are, the class of '47.

Can you pick me out?

Well, it's a--
it's a wild guess,

but I'd-- I'd say the-- the kid
with the plaid shirt

and the overalls?

Yeah. I was wearing them before
they even became popular.

George, I'll bet you can't wait
for your reunion

tomorrow night.

Yeah, it'll be good
seeing everybody again,

especially the gang
from the welding club.

"George, may-- may you always go
through life

with the torch in your hand
and the sparks off your pants.

Frank."

"To George, thanks
for lubing my locker. Chet."

I wasn't voted Most Likely To Be
Handyman for nothing.

I c-- I can't--
I can't read this one.

What-- what does it say?

Nothing.

Tank Bowman liked to use
my yearbook as a pen starter.

Oh, now, she's pretty.

Gayle Crowley.

What did she write?

Oh, uh...

[ Chuckles nervously ]
it's-- it's nothing.

Come on.

Well, uh,

"George, have a great summer.

Gayle."

You're right, it is nothing.

Well, I better go to my room
and try to learn how

to recognize some
of these people bald.

Hey, cardigan guy, pullover gal.

Seen my cashmere cutie?

Oh, Michael, you're here!

My favorite fashion magazine
came today,

and it's awful!

The winter look's been unveiled,
and it's all wrong!

Oh, my God!

It's like all of fashion
has suddenly turned against me.

What were those
French guys thinking?

This is the worst thing
that's ever happened!

Stephanie, there are a lot
of things in the world

worse than that.

What?

Oh, I don't know.
Floods...

Famines.

Fires.

Where? I didn't read
anything about that,

and I get this every month.

Come on, my pretty
in pink cheeks gal,

we'll take this page by page.

There must be something
we can salvage

from this fashion freeze.

Maybe you're right, Michael.
After all, we survived khaki.

Dammit, haven't they
suffered enough?

Joanna, are you, uh--

are you doing anything
important?

I'm reading.

Oh, good.

Joanna, this new winter look
has thrown Steph for a loop.

I mean, for the first time
in her life,

she's uncertain of how she looks
in an outfit.

I told her she looks great,
but she thinks

I'm just saying that,
which I sort of am.

What do you want from me,
Michael?

She's ready, Steph!

All we want is
your honest opinion.

Should Steph wear this outfit

or is it catching the next train
to Ragsville?

Well?

Stephanie, you look nice.

Joanna, I've never been
the issue.

The clothes!
The clothes!

They look, um, different.
But-- but in a nice way.

Stephanie, not everybody is
as fashion-conscious as you are.

I mean, there's
a good chance

that people won't even notice
what you're wearing.

[ Sighs ]

I'll just go read in my room.

Oh, Michael,

Joanna doesn't even like it,

and, you know,
she'll wear anything.

Michael, what are we gonna do?

I can't wear the new
winter fashions

because they look ugly,

but if I don't wear them,

everybody who sees
these magazines

will know that I'm out of style.

Don't worry, Steph.

I'll-- I'll think of something.

Many animals hibernate
during the winter.

Something else.

Oh, hi, George.

Hi, Dick.

Boy, there's nothing
more exciting

than a trip
to the dry cleaner's.

You-- you won't get
any argument from me.

George, there you are.

Well, Jim, should we tell him?

I guess so.

The suspense is probably
killing him.

Tell me what?

See?

I bumped into Anne Davies today,

and she told me
that Gayle Crowley

was back in town
for the reunion.

First time in 40 years.

Gayle's in town?

George had a secret crush
on Gayle in high school.

Jim, how did you know?

Chester was the only living soul
I've ever told about Gayle.

Well, back then, Chester and I
did a lot together.

We were inseparable.

Who'd-- who'd have guessed?

Whenever George got near Gayle,

he acted as awkward
as a schoolboy.

He-- he was a schoolboy.

Come on, Chester.

Let's go practice our duet of

"George and Gayle
sitting in a tree..."

"...K--I--S--S--I--N--G."

You guys.

Gayle Crowley.

Isn't she the one that wrote

that sweet nothing
in your yearbook?

Yeah.

Sometimes I thought about her
so much,

it was hard to keep my mind
on my work.

Once I stripped a hinge screw
thinking about her.

Well, then-- then it wasn't
just puppy love.

And the worst part is,

I never told Gayle how I felt.

I almost did graduation day.

I'd just started to talk to her
when...

Les Darby cut in front of me.

Next thing you know,
they're married.

Dick, she was ready!

I promised myself if I ever saw
Gayle again,

I'd tell her exactly how I felt.

Of course, that promise
was a lot easier to keep

when I thought I'd never
see her again.

George, you-- you gotta go
to the reunion and--

and tell her you liked her,
otherwise you'll--

you'll never be able
to look yourself

in the mirror again.

Gee, go tell Gayle how I felt,

or cut myself shaving
every morning.

Okay, I'll do it, Dick,
but you gotta go with me.

What-- uh, why?

I can't do this alone.

Look how I botched it
up last time.

G-- George, I can't go to your
high school reunion.

I, uh-- I-- I don't even know
your school song.

Come on, Dick, you're my friend.

I need your support.

Besides, when Gayle sees me,
I don't want her to think

I didn't have anybody
to bring to this.

George, I-- I'd feel
out of place.

Okay, Dick, I understand.

I guess I'll go filet my face
for the party.

Okay, okay, George, I'll--
I'll go, but...

[ Sighs ]

I want a corsage.

[ People chattering ]

Boy, look at the old gym.

It sure takes you back.

Right over there is where
I jammed my finger

playing medicine ball.

And right there is where

Duke Powell yanked my shorts
below my knees.

Well, those were
the good old days.

Look, there's Duke now.

George Utley.

Clara Whitscomber!

Here.
Put on your nametag.

Isn't it a terrific turnout?

It's so good to see
all our wonderful

and dear friends again.

Who are you?

I'm-- I'm-- I'm Dick--
Dick Loudon.

There's no Loudon in our class.

I'm-- I'm-- I'm not a member
of your-- of your class.

And you want to crash
our reunion?

George-- George invited me.

Well, okay. But don't try to
sneak into the class picture.

Yes. Yes, ma'am.
[ Clears throat ]

So, George, are you finally
going to tell Gayle

about your crush?

How did you find out?
It was a secret.

Oh, that's right.

Chester told me to eat that note
after I read it.

If it isn't George Utley.

Oh! Hi, hi. Oh!

George!
[ Laughs ]

Hey, George,
is your watch runnin'?

Yeah, I think so.

Well, you better go
and catch it.

[ Laughing ]

You guys.

Oh, George, you finally gonna
fess up to Gayle?

You knew?

Who didn't?

Come on, guys,
let's hit the eats.

I hear they're serving
that good turkey.

George!

Fergie!

Oh, George!

Oh!

Oh, good to see you!

[ Laughs ]

Oh, hardly seems like 40 years
since high school.

40 years.

[ Laughs ]

Look at you in that sports coat.

We want you to look nice
for Gayle.

You too?

Dick, what are you doing here?

Looks like he's crashing
the party.

I'm not crashing.

Chester, when I told you
about Gayle,

it was supposed to be a secret.

I'm sorry, George, but I guess
when I was young,

I had some trouble
keeping things to myself.

Yeah, he was a blabbermouth.

I was standing right next to him
when he told the entire school.

Oh, no.
Then, Gayle knew?

Don't be silly.
Nobody'd tell her.

It was a secret.

Dick, there she is.
It's Gayle.

Look at her.

She looks 18-years-old,
doesn't she, Dick?

Sort-- uh, sort-- sort of.

Well, George, did you hear?
Gayle's single again.

She is?

Anne Davies just told me.

Les passed away
about 10 years ago.

Oh.

Well, Dick, seems we have
an extra nametag.

You wanna wear it?

Uh, no. No.

Still into the thrill
of crashing, huh?

Well, I gotta make the rounds.

As class president,
one of my responsibilities

is to see that no one smokes
in the boy's room.

Dick, maybe telling Gayle
I like her

isn't such a good idea.

I mean, she's widowed.

I don't wanna look
like I'm on the prowl.

George, she came here to see
old school chums and--

and you qualify.

Go-- go over and talk to her.

That's it, Dick?

That's the support I get?

Better, Dick.

[ Sighs ]

[ Gasps ]

So help me,
if she marries him...

George, what hap--
what happened?

Dick, it was horrible.

This guy was even faster
than Les.

I used to lie in bed and imagine
what I'd say to Gayle.

Gayle, the three greatest things
in the world are

a sunrise,

the smell of a new toolbox,

and a pretty girl.

Gee, Dick, it's a lot easier
saying it to you.

Yeah, but, uh, you know,
I'm-- I'm married.

George Utley.

Gayle.

Oh, I knew you'd be here.

Oh, it's just so good
to see you.

Oh!

-[ Chuckles ]
-Gayle!

[ Chuckles ]

You wanna shoot some hoops?

[ Laughs ]
Oh, George, really, no.

I didn't come here
to work up a sweat.

[ Chuckles ]

Gee, Gayle, you haven't
changed a bit.

Yeah, I don't know
which I like better,

your eyesight or your lying.

No, I really mean it.

[ Clears throat ]

Gayle...
[ Clears throat ]

I never told you this, but...

[ Clears throat ]

...in high school,

I liked you.

There. I said it.

George, I'm sorry.

My hearing aid keeps
blinking out now and then.

What was that again?

Uh, I said, uh,

back in school,

I liked you.

Really?
Oh, I liked you too.

What?

I thought you were the cutest
guy in the welding club.

Yeah, well, I guess we did look
pretty irresistible

with our visors down.

[ Laughs ]

You really liked me?

Yep.

Wow!

I'll see ya.

Dick, guess what? I did it!
I told her I liked her!

That's terrific. Then--
then what?

Then she said she liked me!

That's great, George!
Then what?

Then I came over here.

Why?

I'm so happy,
I had to tell somebody.

George, it-- it-- it doesn't
have to end here.

Okay, Dick.

You wanna go out
and celebrate?

No, I mean go--
go back to Gayle

and tell her
you're nuts about her

and-- and ask her out.

On a date?

Don't think of it as a date, uh,
think of it as--

as getting together with a--
an old school chum.

Gee, Dick, a date
sounds like more fun.

Then, ask her out on a date!

You're right, Dick.

Okay, everybody,

let's all line up
for the class picture.

Well, I want-- I--

WOMAN: Where do you
wanna sit?

[ Chuckling ]

Not you, Dick!

So, uh-- So, Gayle,
I was thinking, uh,

maybe we could go out
tomorrow night

and start what we should've
started 40 years ago.

Oh, George, I'm sorry.

If you had only asked me
back then,

I would've said yes,

but, well, I think now
it's just too late for me

to start anything.

I'm sorry.

Smile!

[ Camera clicking ]

Enjoying the fire, Steph?

Oh yes, and to think we almost
let some silly magazines

ruin the entire season.

We're just lucky this town
doesn't know hooey about

this winter's look.

Or ever will, now that
we've bought up

every fashion magazine
in town.

All we have to do is not
leave this zip code

until the Spring fashions bloom.

Oh, what a lovely fire.

Excuse me, is that a
fashion magazine?

Yes, I was lucky to find this,
every place in town is sold out.

I'll pay you for that.
Michael.

Name your price, $10, $15,
$20... $22.

Oh, it only cost $3.

Sold.

Thank you.

Go ahead, Steph,
make your fashion statement.

Oh, this is so romantic.

But Michael, these magazines
won't last all night.

De-pout those lips.

Let's say we go up to your room
and bring down that

purple piggy dress.

Dollars to donuts,
it's flammable.

Well, thanks
for bringing me home

early from the reunion, Dick.

Oh, and for destroying my life.

What?

You-- you're mad at me, George?

Didn't you notice I fastened
my seatbelt extra loud?

Oh. You-- you're right, George.

I-- I guess that was a--
a real slap in the face.

Well, if you hadn't made me
talk to Gayle,

I never would've found out

that she would've gone
out with me

back in high school.

I lost 40 years, Dick.

40 years I might've
spent with Gayle.

Picnics, movies, maybe...

a couple of walks
around the lake.

George, you--
you can't live in the past.

You-- you have to live for--
for today.

What-- what--
what's done is done.

Any more clich�s, Dick?

I-- I-- I'm just saying, George,

you-- you-- you can't
go back and--

and live your life over un--
unless you--

you build a time machine,

and I-- I don't think you can.

And I call myself a handyman.

Oh, I guess you're right, Dick.
I'm not really mad at you.

George, that, uh--

that seatbelt thing
is forgotten.

Dick, she said she didn't
wanna start anything.

She said it was too late.

See, that's your problem,
George.

You're-- you're--
you're too accepting.

Oh, you're right.

There! That's exactly
what I'm talking about.

Oh, you're right.
Uh, oops.

George, 40 years ago,

you sat back and-- and--
and let someone

you really cared for
walk out of your life.

George, don't let that
happen again tonight.

You are right, Dick.

I'm going back there,

and I'm gonna get Gayle
to go out with me,

and I'm not gonna let anything
get in my way!

That's the spirit!

George, let me move my car!

[ Door closing ]

-Chester?
-Mm-hm?

Have you seen Gayle?

Yes, she and some
of the other girls are busy

trying to divvy up
the leftover punch.

There seems to be
an uneven amount of citrus.

So, George, you finally, uh,
saw Gayle

and told her you'd like
to start something, eh?

How did you know?

Sorry, George.

That wasn't a secret, was it?

Not around here.

Oh, George, I'm so glad
you came back.

I was afraid we wouldn't
get a chance to say good-bye.

Well, I'm back,
but not to say good-bye.

Gayle, I saw you tonight

and started feeling
funny inside.

I tried to blame it
on the turkey roll,

but it was you.

How 'bout we grab
a cup of coffee

at the Tree Tap Diner?

Oh, George, I'm sorry.

I'd like to, I really would,

but I have to catch
the early bus tomorrow.

She says she's sorry,
but she has to catch

the early bus tomorrow.

Gayle, give me one good reason

why we can't start
seeing each other.

I live in Schenectady.

I know how to drive.

Fine, but I have grandkids,

and I've got a big old house
to take care of.

I love grandkids,
and I can fix anything

in a big old house.

-[ Chuckles ]
-Wriggle out of that one.

Oh, George, I guess I'm just
too stuck in my ways.

Well, I am too.

I won't have breakfast

till I go out and smell
the morning air.

And I'll weed the garden
whether it needs it or not.

And when it comes to pudding,

none of that instant stuff
for me.

I want cooked pudding
with the real skin on top.

So you see, I'm stuck
in my ways too.

Mm.

I have a good life here,

and when I saw you tonight,
I knew it could be better.

George.

Movement on Gayle's part.

Are you sure we can't grab
that coffee at the diner?

Oh, it's late.

Yeah, but it's not too late.

Well, maybe there is time
for a-- a cup of coffee

with an old friend.

Major movement on Gayle's part.

Oh, great!

[ Muffled chatter ]

What comes next is private.

Meow.
