[THUNDER RUMBLING]

-Hey, son. -Hey, dad.

Man, I'm really worried about Cody.

He's out there trying to put a TV antenna on his van

in the middle of the storm.

I'm afraid he's gonna get hit by lightning.

[CHUCKLES] Relax, son.

See, Cody's already been hit by a lightning

and it happened right out there in the backyard.

I mean what do you think the odds are

of a guy getting struck by lightning

two times in exactly the same spot?

[THUNDER RUMBLES]

CODY: [SCREAMING] Dude!

What a rush.

Cody, are you all right?

Yeah, Cody, you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I just got two questions for you guys.

Where am I?

Why do you guys keep calling me Cody?

My name is...

My na... My name is...

Dude.

Okay, well, uh, thank you very much.

Is Cody still in the emergency room?

No, he's already been treated and released.

They are bringing him home.

Hi, guys. We're back.

FRANK: Okay, there now. Here we go.

Here we go.

Cody are you okay?

Yeah, we were really worried about you.

Oh, that's really nice of you. [CHUCKLES]

Do I know them?

We'll get to that in a minute, pal.

Okay, now, everyone, Cody has amnesia.

He doesn't remember who he is.

Or who any of us are, or anything about his life.

Yeah, I'm really thirsty too.

I know I'm supposed to do something about that.

Just can't remember what it is.

Cody, why don't you go in the kitchen

and get yourself a drink of water?

Oh, that's it, whenever you're thirsty

you get a drink of water.

Right on.

Where is the kitchen?

The kitchen is right over there.

Oh, cool. Thanks, man.

You've been really helpful to me today.

What was your name?

I'm your Uncle Frank.

Oh, okay. Uncle Frank.

Big dude. Curly hair.

All right.

Uncle Frank, Kitchen. Kitchen, Uncle Frank.

I'm cruising now. [CHUCKLES]

Okay, now, listen, everybody.

The doctor said that this could last hours,

-or it could be years. -[GASPS]

Now all we have to do is to keep introducing ourselves to him

and to remind him of things about his past.

Doesn't he remember anything?

No, when we got in the car,

he kept trying to put the seat belt

through the loops of his pants.

Wait a second. Okay, let me get this straight.

He doesn't remember anything about who he is,

or where he lives.

And you brought him back?

Dana, just stop that.

We have to help him, he's family.

He doesn't know that.

Wow, man, this is such a cool house.

Do I know any of you people?

-I am your Uncle Frank. -Oh, yeah.

I know that. Uncle Frank, kitchen.

I got you down cold.

Hi, I'm Uncle Frank's wife, Carol.

Carol. Blonde lady, big white teeth.

And I'm your cousin, Brendan.

Okay, Brendan. Little dude, possibly a child.

And, uh, you are?

Sally Jessy Raphael.

Wow, three names, huh? You're gonna be a toughie.

Her name is Dana.

Dana? She doesn't know that?

Boy, I thought I was confused. [CHUCKLES]

Hi, uh, this is JT and I'm Al.

-Al? -Yeah.

Okay, Al.

Prettiest guy I've ever seen.

Dana, which one of these pictures do you think

I should use for my homecoming queen campaign?

Karen, they look exactly the same.

What's the difference?

Isn't it obvious?

This one says, I'm beautiful.

While this one says, I'm beautiful,

but I have a sense of whimsy.

Karen, look...

I know this homecoming queen thing is very important to you,

but there are bigger issues in the world.

Okay?

There's pollution and war and killer diseases

devastating the planet.

Doesn't any of this mean anything to you?

Well, sure.

But think how much more I could do about them

when I'm homecoming queen.

Why do I bother?

Oh, Karen, I just finished the phone poll of the senior class.

Phone poll?

Yeah, this homecoming race has gotten really tight.

I was a mile ahead until Tiffany Rogers

had her boobs done.

Yeah. Some women will do anything just to get a vote.

I'd be completely disgusted,

if I wasn't so turned on by her.

Mark, nobody cares about your hormones.

Now, tell me about the phone poll.

All right. Out of 61 people in the senior class

the vote was split 30 to 30 with one undecided.

Who's undecided?

Some fellow named, Irwin Bird.

Bird the nerd?

Gee, if I'd known he was gonna be the deciding vote

I wouldn't have ignored him for the past 12 years.

Now, what am I going to do?

I've got an idea.

How about you send him a picture that says,

"I'm beautiful, but I'm rude."

I think I have one of those.

Hi, vote for me for homecoming queen.

They are suitable for framing. [CHUCKLES]

Hi, vote for me for homecoming queen.

Oh, hi, Brad. Um, have you seen Irwin Bird?

-Who? -Bird the nerd.

Oh.

He's probably in the bathroom getting stuffed

in the toilet again.

Hey, vote for me for homecoming queen.

Hi, vote for me for homecoming queen.

KAREN: Hey, vote for me for homecoming queen.

Oh, dear.

KAREN: Hi, vote for me for homecoming queen.

Hey, vote for me for homecoming queen.

Hi, Karen.

I have been meaning to talk to you for the last couple of days.

Hi, Irwin, I've been meaning to talk to you

for the last 12 years.

Yeah, I've gotten quite popular

since I became the deciding vote in this election.

Look, I know I kind of ignored you, but, uh...

I think if we got to know each other

you might want to vote for me.

Hey, then I've got some good news for you.

You and I are going on a date.

I've got big plans for you, Karen.

Wait a minute, I wanna be homecoming queen,

but if you think I'm gonna get-get physical, you're crazy.

Relax, this isn't sexual harassment.

It's blackmail.

What do you mean?

The way I figure it,

if everybody sees the hottest girl

in the senior class on a date with me,

my stock will go through the roof.

I'll have chicks crawling all over me.

Oh, I like the way that sounds.

Listen, pal, I don't know what kind of girl you think I am,

but I've got principles.

I've got morals

and there's nothing you can say

that would make me go out on a date with you.

Fine. Then I'll be voting for Ms. Tiffany Rogers.

What time should I pick you up?

Seven o'clock.

And, uh, wear something pretty.

This Saturday night, you are gonna boogie

with the Bird-man.

Hah!

Oh...

Is it two o'clock already?

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

-Come in. -Hi.

I'm Cody Lambert.

Hi, I'm Aretha Franklin.

No way.

Dude, I loved all your albums.

Oh, man.

I gotta tell you something.

On TV, you look totally different.

Hey, Aretha, did you know me before I had amnesia?

Or as I like to call it,

"The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia."

Yeah, I've known you for about four years.

Wow.

Well, I was thinking'

maybe you could tell me something about myself. You know?

Like my dreams, my hopes, my plans for the future.

You want me to tell you about, "your plans for the future"?

[EVIL LAUGHTER]

I think I could do that.

Yeah...

Cool. Lay it on me.

Okay, Cody.

Right before you got amnesia,

you were planning on going on a motorcycle tour

of all 50 states.

Wow.

A motorcycle tour, huh? Awesome. [CHUCKLES]

Hey, when was I leaving?

Right now.

I packed your lunch.

Hi, Cody. I'm, I'm Carol.

Uncle Frank's wife.

Big white teeth.

[CHUCKLES]

Right.

Anyway, I brought you this photo album.

I thought it might help jog your memory.

Oh, sorry, Carol, I got no time to talk now.

I'm going on a motorcycle tour of America

and Aretha Franklin packed me a lunch.

And I know you're in a big hurry to get going,

so you just tod along and I'll explain the whole thing

to the lady with the big white teeth.

-Cool. -Wait, Cody.

Cody, come back here.

What is going on?

The Queen of Soul was telling me about my life

and she said I was going on a long, long trip

and never coming back.

-Dana. -What?

It's a motorcycle tour, he'll love it.

Dana, that's cruel.

Cruel?

-I made him a sandwich. -Yeah.

Hey, it's not every day a Grammy winner

makes a turkey on rye.

-Dana, take a hike. -Okay.

I'm just trying to give the boy some direction.

Give me that.

[CHUCKLES]

Come here, Cody.

I want you to look at some pictures

and maybe it'll help bring your memory back, okay?

Cool. I'll try anything, white teeth.

Whoa. Is that an Indian name?

Let's just look at the pictures.

Okay, do you recognize this man?

Sure, that's Clint Eastwood.

Cody, that's your father.

No way!

My dad's Dirty Harry?

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

IRWIN: All right.

The whole football team is here.

Loving that.

Let's go.

No, I can't do this.

What am I supposed to say when they ask me

what I'm doing here with you?

I am way ahead of you.

I took the liberty of writing down

a few adoring things for you to say about me.

Oh, no, there's no way

I'm calling you a "wild stallion".

I'm not particular. You can say any of these.

Love God.

Hot stud.

Rambo.

Or simply, Zeus.

And remember,

say it like you mean it.

Excuse us.

Pardon us.

Excuse us.

[CHUCKLES]

Hey, guys.

What's wrong?

Oh, no dates tonight.

Well, I guess some of us got it

and some of us don't.

Karen, what are you doing with Bird the nerd?

He's, uh, my date.

[BOTH LAUGH]

Your date?

Why would you go out with a nerd like him?

Uh, because, um...

[CLEARS THROAT]

Because he's a love God...

a hot stud...

A wild stallion.

Oh, God, let's sit down.

What can I say? She wants me.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Oh. Hey, Uncle Curly Dude.

Could you give me a hand over here?

Sure, Code. What can I do?

-Whoa! -Oh. Sorry.

Forgot I had my high beams on.

[CHUCKLES]

Hey, I've been reading this book on amnesia, okay?

And it seems that there's two ways to get rid of amnesia

other than just waiting it out.

Number one, sudden blow to the head.

Number two, severe electrical shock. Huh?

Cody, what exactly do you want me to do?

Okay.

Go get your truck, bring it around back

and just ram it right into my head.

I'm not gonna do that.

-No? -No.

[SIGHS]

Okay. Plan B.

You hook me up to your car battery

and just fry the living daylights out of me.

[CHUCKLES]

I'd be eternally grateful.

You'd be eternally dead.

Whoa. That sounds worse than amnesia.

Okay. Plan C. You're gonna love this.

Aha!

Just take these and beat the living snot out of me.

Cody, I am not gonna hit you with my truck, shock you,

or beat you with anything else.

Okay, I'll do it myself.

Listen, Cody, I think the whole thing is a bad idea.

Oh, no, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

[CHUCKLES]

Anything?

I think I remember what a headache feels like.

I wish I could remember where the aspirin is.

It's in the kitchen. Come on.

-Oh yeah. -Yeah, Cod, kitchen.

Oh, kitchen, yeah.

Uncle Frank, kitchen, yeah.

Karen, I gotta tell you, this has been one great night.

Yeah, thanks. Goodnight, Irwin.

I am 99% sure I'm gonna vote for you.

99%?

But that's not fair.

I did everything you asked me to do.

I fed you French fries.

I called you, Zeus.

My God, I even went to karaoke place and sang,

"What A Man, What A Man, What A Mighty Good Man."

What more could you possibly want?

Oh, I don't know.

How about a kiss?

Hey, you said this wasn't gonna get physical.

And I meant it at the time.

But once you started calling me, Zeus, all bets were off.

Forget it, there's no way I'm gonna do that.

Oh, come on, it's just a kiss.

I'm not even asking you to do it in public.

No way.

[GRUNTS]

Fine...

You don't wanna kiss me

then kiss that homecoming crown goodbye.

[IRWIN GROANS]

[SLAMS THE DOOR]

Honey, what's wrong?

I just ruined my life.

Ruined your life, like, you've got a pimple?

Or ruined your life, like, I'm gonna be a grandmother?

There is this nerdy guy

who had the deciding vote for homecoming queen,

so I agreed to go out with him on a date.

You went out with a guy just to get his vote?

Yeah, but it didn't work because he tried to kiss me

and then I got so upset I slapped him.

Now I'll never be homecoming queen.

I should have just kissed him.

Kissed him?

Karen, are you listening to yourself?

How far were you willing to go?

I don't know, I wouldn't have done anything bad.

I just know I wanted to be homecoming queen

and now I'm sure I blew it.

Karen, come here, sit down. Let's talk.

Why is this beauty contest so important to you?

My whole life I've dreamed of being homecoming queen.

If I don't win this,

it'll mean I'm not the prettiest girl in school.

And if I don't have that, I'm nobody.

Karen, what are you talking about?

You've so much more going for you

than just being the prettiest girl in school.

Yeah, like what?

Like, you're a very motivated and determined young woman.

You must have spent about 900 hours making posters

and flyers and taking polls.

If you just put half that energy in your school work

you'd be a straight A student.

You're just saying that because you are my mother.

No, I'm saying that because...

Oh, Karen, somewhere along the line

you've got it in your head

that all you've got going for are your looks.

And that's not true.

You're smart, you're savvy.

If you just believe in yourself

you could be anything you wanna be.

I don't know about that.

Well, I do.

You could be a teacher, or a lawyer, or a doctor.

I mean, the sky's the limit.

Gee, a doctor?

Huh, I never thought of myself that way.

Yeah, well, maybe it's time you started.

You know, if you believe in me that much, maybe I should too.

I do.

That's good.

Thanks.

-Oh. Mom? -Yeah?

If I become a doctor

do I have to wear those ugly green scrubs?

I mean, they make your complexion look so washed out.

Tell you what, why don't we just get through medical school

and then we'll talk about the wardrobe later, hm?

Perfect.

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

KAREN: Hey, everybody.

AL: Hi. FRANK: Hi, Karen.

Hi honey, How did the election go?

Oh, I lost by one vote.

-Oh, I'm so sorry. -I'm not.

Tiffany Rogers maybe homecoming queen,

but she also has to wear a shirt that says, "Property of the Bird-man."

[BOTH CHUCKLING]

Hey, Uncle Frank, hey, Carol.

Hey little step dudes.

Cody, you remember who we all are?

Well, of course I remember you y'all are.

I've known you guys for years.

Why wouldn't I remember who y'all are?

Because you had amnesia.

I had amnesia?

Dude, I must have forgot!

Well, we're really glad you're back to normal.

Totally. Anway I'm gonna finish hanging that antenna out of my van.

Hey, you know Cody,

I wish you wouldn't do that during the electrical storm like this.

You've already been hit by the lightning twice right in the backyard.

Yeah. Then what are you worried about?

Nobody gets struck by lightning three times.

He's probably right.

The odds of Cody getting hit again is a billion to one.

[HUNDER STRUCK]

CODY: [SCREAMS] Dude!

Cody, are you okay?

Yeah. I think so.

Bag the antenna. I'm going to cable.

[THUNDER RUMBLING]
