CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.

TODAY, SIR, I THOUGHT

WE MIGHT BEGIN THE DAY WITH AN ASPIRIN,

PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE BEING SO MUCH THE MODE.

IT'S TOO LATE, GEOFFREY.

I ALREADY HAVE A HEADACHE

JUST ANTICIPATING THAT INFERNAL HAMMERING AT THE OFFICE.

HONEY, I THOUGHT THE WORKMEN

WERE SUPPOSED TO BE DONE BY YESTERDAY.

SHOCKINGLY ENOUGH, VIVIAN, THEY'RE BEHIND SCHEDULE.

DAD, IT'S SO OBVIOUS.

IF ALL THAT HAMMERING IS BOTHERING YOU,

JUST TELL THEM TO QUIT IT.

I DON'T EVEN WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.

THESE ARE THE ONLY MOMENTS OF PEACE AND QUIET I'LL HAVE ALL DAY.

Will: ♪ I GOT THE POWER ♪

ANOTHER ASPIRIN, SIR?

PERHAPS A GUN.

VIVIAN, WHAT THE DEVIL IS HE DOING UP THERE?

I GOT THE POWER BY SNAP.

SNAP IS A GREAT BAND.

WELL, WHEN CRACKLE AND POP CUT A DISC,

THEN CALL ME.

WHAT'S SO FUNNY?

CARLTON TOLD A JOKE.

NO, NO, NO, HILARY. CARLTON IS A JOKE.

MOMMY, WHO'S GONNA TAKE ME TO MY TENNIS LESSON

AFTER SCHOOL TODAY?

ARE YOU SURE IT'S TENNIS TODAY, SWEETIE?

MAYBE YOU'D BETTER CHECK YOUR SCHEDULE.

SCHEDULE?

YEAH. MY PARENTS BOUGHT THIS CALENDAR

SO I COULD KEEP MY LESSONS STRAIGHT.

DIDN'T YOU HAVE A SCHEDULE FOR AFTER SCHOOL

WHEN YOU WERE MY AGE?

YEAH... THE TV GUIDE.

SEE, MONDAY'S FOR BALLET,

TUESDAY'S RIDING,

WEDNESDAY'S VIOLIN.

OOPS.

I THOUGHT TODAY WAS VIOLIN, SWEETIE PIE.

YOU MEAN ASHLEY WOULD HAVE SHOWN UP FOR HER VIOLIN LESSON

IN HER TENNIS OUTFIT?

OH. I JUST PICTURED IT.

WELL, I'M 2 FOR 2.

I'M GOING TO QUIT WHILE I'M AHEAD.

CAN I SUGGEST RETIREMENT?

OUCH. KEEP 'EM COMING, WILL.

SO, MOMMY, WHO'S GOING TO DRIVE ME?

HILARY?

LOOK, THERE'S A GROWING POLLUTION PROBLEM

IN THIS CITY,

AND I FOR ONE WILL NOT CONTRIBUTE TO IT.

I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE TO DRIVE ANYBODY ANYWHERE

UNTIL A RESPONSIBLE CAR POOL IS ORGANIZED.

BUT HILARY, ASHLEY IS IN A CAR POOL.

WELL, I JUST DON'T WANT TO DO IT, OK?

I HAVE AN IDEA.

WILL, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY CHORES THIS AFTERNOON.

YOU CAN DRIVE ASHLEY.

WORD UP. KICK OVER THE KEYS TO THE JAG.

THE BENZITO?

THE STATION WAGON.

OH, COME ON, UNCLE PHIL.

YOU'RE GOING TO RUIN MY REP.

YOU'RE ONLY 17. YOU DON'T HAVE A REP YET.

YOU WILL DRIVE HER TO HER CLASS,

YOU WILL WAIT FOR HER THERE,

AND YOU WILL BRING HER HOME.

OH, COME ON, MAN, I GOT TO SIT THROUGH A HOUR

OF THEM SCRATCHY VIOLINS?

WILL, YOU MIGHT LEARN SOMETHING.

YEAH, THE SAME THING I LEARNED

FROM BANGING MY HEAD UP AGAINST A POLE FOR A HOUR...

DON'T DO IT AGAIN.

THIS IS YOUR NEW JOB.

WEDNESDAYS YOU ARE ASHLEY'S DRIVER.

UNDERSTOOD?

Y-Y-YES'M.

I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY

TO DRIVE YOU TO THE PIGGLY-WIGGLY,

MISS DAISY.

I'M SORRY.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.

LADIES, HOLD IT, WAIT A MINUTE, WAIT A MINUTE.

LET'S TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT, ALL RIGHT?

EVERYBODY JUST REPEAT AFTER ME, OK?

COME, GIRLS! YOU ARE LATE.

NOW, LET'S BEGIN

WITH THE PIECE YOU WERE TO MEMORIZE

FROM STRAVINSKY'S VIOLIN CONCERTO IN D MINOR.

AND REMEMBER, YOU ARE PLAYING THIS

FOR A WOMAN WHO WAS THE GREAT STRAVINSKY'S LOVER.

1, 2, 3, 4.

1, 2, 3, 4.

FASTER, FASTER, FASTER, FASTER, FASTER.

STOP! STOP!

YOU THERE. WHAT YOU DO HERE?

OH, UM... OH, UH, UH...

I'M ASHLEY'S COUSIN.

I WAS JUST WAITING TO DRIVE HER HOME.

YOU MAKE ME KIND OF NERVOUS

WITH THAT STICK, LADY.

YOU DARE TO READ

WHILE GREAT STRAVINSKY IS PLAYED?

I WASN'T AS TIGHT WITH THE MAN AS YOU WERE.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MAKE JOKE WITH ME.

I WAS LOVER OF BOTH LAUREL AND HARDY.

GUESS THAT LOOK REALLY WORKS FOR YOU, THEN.

HEY, ASH, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS DECENT

TO LISTEN TO THAT KIND OF MUSIC

WITHOUT HAVING TO SEE FREDDY KRUEGER KILL SOMEBODY.

I'M GLAD SOMEBODY ENJOYS IT.

WHAT, DON'T YOU?

WELL, NOT YET,

BUT WHEN I'M OLDER, IT WILL BE VERY USEFUL TO ME.

NO, WAIT. THAT'S TENNIS.

WHO TOLD YOU THAT?

MY DAD.

ASH, JUST 'CAUSE YOUR DAD LIKES SOMETHING,

DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO LIKE IT.

I MEAN, HE LIKES BEING A LAWYER.

THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO BE A LAWYER.

I AM GOING TO BE A LAWYER.

ASH, THE WORLD DOES NOT NEED ANOTHER PHILIP BANKS.

IN FACT, WE MIGHT NOT HAVE ENOUGH FARM LAND

TO SUPPORT THE ONE WE HAVE.

NO. THE WORLD NEEDS AN ASHLEY BANKS.

GIRLS, YOU MUST REMEMBER TO PRACTICE MORE, NO?

VIOLIN IS VERY JEALOUS,

MUCH LIKE THE SEXY TOSCANINI.

IF YOU EVEN LOOK AT ANOTHER,

IT WILL NOT SPEAK TO YOU FOR DAYS,

BUT IF YOU GIVE ALL OF YOURSELVES,

IT WILL FULFILL YOUR EVERY NEED

AND SET YOUR VERY SOUL ON FIRE.

WHAT DOES SHE MEAN BY THAT?

WELL, LET'S JUST SAY

THE LADY EXPECTS A LOT

FROM A PIECE OF WOOD AND SOME STRINGS.

GEO...

YOUR ASPIRIN, SIR.

THANK YOU, GEOFFREY.

DO YOU ATTRIBUTE YOUR HEADACHES, SIR,

SOLELY TO THE ONGOING CONSTRUCTION IN YOUR OFFICE,

OR DO YOU SUPPOSE

THERE MIGHT BE A STRESS FACTOR INVOLVED?

THIS IS HOW MY DAY WENT, GEOFFREY.

AT 9:00, THEY WERE POUNDING.

AT 10:00, THEY WERE JACKHAMMERING.

BY NOON,

A PNEUMATIC DRILL CAME INTO PLAY.

AND GEOFFREY,

THEY WERE JUST REPAINTING THE OFFICE.

I'D SAY THAT'S CAUSE FOR STRESS. WOULDN'T YOU?

MMM.

YOU KNOW, SIR,

THE EARL OF CRANBROOK,

TO WHOM I WAS IN SERVICE FOR SEVERAL YEARS,

SUFFERED FROM THE MOST SEVERE HEADACHES.

AND YOU'RE SAYING THESE WERE CAUSED

BY SOME SORT OF STRESS?

I SHOULD VERY MUCH DOUBT IT.

HE SPENT HIS DAYS RIDING TO THE HOUNDS

AND HIS EVENINGS

ATTENDING RATHER PLEASANT DINNER PARTIES

WITH HIS DELIGHTFUL WIFE LADY CELIA.

NOW...

SHE WAS A TERRIBLY GOOD SNOOKER PLAYER,

ONE OF THE BEST,

AND ONE NIGHT, SHE BET...

GEOFFREY.

WHERE DOES THE STRESS COME IN?

WELL, IT CERTAINLY DOESN'T IN LORD CRANBROOK'S CASE.

I NEVER SAW A CALMER HOUSEHOLD.

THEN WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THE STORY, GEOFFREY?

SHEER ENTERTAINMENT, SIR.

WHAT THE DEVIL WAS THAT?

I BELIEVE THE TECHNICAL TERM IS A RIM SHOT.

WHO DID IT?

UTTER SPECULATION, OF COURSE,

BUT MY GUESS IS MASTER WILLIAM.

WILL.

WILL!

WILL!

WILL!

VIVIAN.

ASHLEY, HONEY...

WHERE IS YOUR VIOLIN?

BIG SAL HAS IT.

BIG SAL?

HE OWNS THIS REALLY GREAT STORE

WHERE YOU DON'T NEED ANY MONEY.

YOU JUST GO IN AND GIVE HIM SOMETHING YOU DON'T WANT ANYMORE,

AND HE GIVES YOU THIS TICKET AND THEN...

A PAWNSHOP?

YOU TOOK HER TO A PAWNSHOP?

WELL, YEAH, IT WAS REALLY HARD, TOO.

YOU DON'T HAVE TOO MANY PAWNSHOPS IN BEL AIR.

THAT'S REALLY A SHAME.

I HAD TO GO ALL THE WAY TO EAST L.A.

EAST L.A.?

BUT THEY GAVE ME A GREAT DEAL.

THEY GAVE YOU A SET OF DRUMS.

AND...

I MADE 'EM THROW IN A LITTLE GIFT FOR EACH OF YOU.

CLOSE YOUR EYES.

VIVIAN!

I WANT MY PRESENT.

OK. OPEN.

OH, WILL, WHAT A LOVELY ANTIQUE NECKLACE.

WHAT IS THIS?

DADDY, IT'S A DIAMOND.

NO, IT ISN'T.

YOU DON'T LIKE IT?

NO, I DO NOT.

CAN I HAVE IT?

HOW DARE YOU PAWN HER VIOLIN?

SHE DON'T EVEN LIKE PLAYING IT NO MORE.

SHE WILL LEARN TO LIKE IT LATER.

A YOUNG WOMAN WHO CAN PLAY A VIOLIN

IS AN ACCOMPLISHED YOUNG LADY.

YO, A GIRLIE THAT CAN PLAY THE DRUMS

CAN WRITE HER OWN TICKET.

WILL,

I WANT THE BEST FOR ASHLEY.

WHEN I WAS A KID,

I LOVED CLASSICAL MUSIC,

BUT MY PARENTS COULDN'T AFFORD LESSONS.

I USED TO STAND OUT IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE PHILHARMONIC

HOPING TO CATCH A SPARE NOTE ON THE NIGHT AIR.

PHILIP, WHEN I MET YOU, YOU WERE INTO JAMES BROWN.

HE LIKED JAMES BROWN?

HE EVEN WORE HIS HAIR LIKE HIM.

HE HAD HAIR?

YOU KNOW, IT IS POSSIBLE

TO LIKE BOTH CLASSICAL MUSIC AND JAMES BROWN.

AND I COULD NOT AGREE MORE,

SO LET'S LET ASHLEY PLAY WHATEVER SHE WANTS.

SHE SPENT AN ENTIRE YEAR ON THE VIOLIN.

SO IF SHE WANTS TO TRY SOMETHING NEW, LET HER.

YOU TELL HIM, AUNT VIV.

AND AS FOR YOU, YOUNG MAN...

LOVE YOU.

THE NEXT TIME YOU DECIDE TO VISIT A PAWNSHOP,

DON'T.

ARE WE CLEAR ON THAT?

YES.

AHEM.

MASTER WILLIAM,

THERE IS A YOUNG GENTLEMAN DOWNSTAIRS

WITH A RATHER LARGE RADIO

WHO IS HERE TO SEE YOU.

HE CLAIMS HIS NAME IS JAZZ.

YO, WORD UP. SEND HIM UP.

NOW, NOW, WHO IS THIS JAZZ FELLOW?

YO, I HEARD THE BOY AT A CLUB. HE IS ALL OF THAT.

I HOPE HE'S GONNA BE ASHLEY'S NEW MUSIC TEACHER.

I MEAN, NOW, HE'S NOT AS EXPERIENCED AS MADAME CHATCHKA,

BUT THEN, WHO IS?

MR. JAZZ.

IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU, JAZZ.

HOW DO YOU DO? I'M MR. BANKS.

YOU GOT THAT RIGHT.

MAN, YOU'RE LOADED!

YO, WHAT'S UP, J?

COME ON, PHILIP. LET'S JUST LEAVE THEM ALONE.

I ASKED HIM TO TAKE HER TO HER LESSON...

I KNOW, BABY.

TELL MAMA ALL ABOUT IT.

HEY, SHOVE OVER. LET JAZZ GET BUSY ONE TIME.

OH, YEAH!

OH, PLAY TWO STICK.

TELL IT SHOOBOOTY ON THE FAR SIDE. HEY!

HEY!

HEY!

HEY!

SO, CARLTON,

HOW'S THE, UH, SOCCER SCENE?

I MAY BE MOVING UP FROM JV TO VARSITY,

BUT...

AM I THE ONLY ONE

WHO FINDS THIS DRUMMING

INAPPROPRIATE FOR HIGH TEA?

I CAN'T TAKE ANOTHER WEEK OF THIS.

FROM MORNING UNTIL NIGHT,

ALL I HEAR IS THIS RELENTLESS, PULSATING, THUMPING BEAT.

I'M GOING TO THE HARD ROCK CAFE.

HILARY.

STAY.

WE ARE HAVING TEA.

IT'S A CIVILIZED WAY

FOR ME TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH MY FAMILY,

SO SOMEONE TALK.

I WANT HER SEVERELY PUNISHED!

IT WAS THE ONLY TIME JAZZ COULD GIVE HER A LESSON TODAY.

VIVIAN, I WISH YOU WOULD STOP CALLING HIM THAT.

BUT THAT'S HIS NAME.

IT IS NOT. IT CAN'T BE.

PHILIP, THESE KIDS LIKE TO MAKE UP THEIR OWN NAMES.

LET THEM.

OK.

FINE.

SO FROM NOW ON, I'M NO LONGER PHILIP BANKS.

JUST CALL ME KING EDWARD IV.

AS YOU WISH, YOUR MAJESTY.

HUMOR, SIR.

DAD, I'M AS LIBERAL AS THE NEXT GUY,

BUT IT'S TIME FOR SOMEONE TO TAKE THE REINS.

HIGH TEA HAS BEEN A WEEKLY TRADITION IN OUR FAMILY

FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER.

IF WE LET YOUNG WILL RUIN THIS FOR US,

WHAT'S NEXT TO GO? CHRISTMAS?

I CAN'T ANSWER THAT QUESTION FOR YOU, SON.

ASK YOUR MOTHER.

OH, COME ON, YOU TWO.

HIGH TEA IS NOT A SACRED INSTITUTION.

AHEM.

IT'S NOT THE TEA.

IT'S NOT THE DRUMS.

IT'S ASHLEY.

I'VE SPENT 9 YEARS

TRYING TO RAISE A PROPER YOUNG LADY,

AND WILL IS UNDOING ALL MY WORK IN A WEEK.

ASHLEY, HONEY, COME DOWN HERE!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

HE'S PUNISHING HER.

NO, HILARY, I JUST WANT HER

TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH HER FAMILY.

SAME THING.

WHAT IS ALL THIS YELLING ABOUT DOWNSTAIRS?

LOOK, WE ARE TRYING TO GIVE A MUSIC LESSON UPSTAIRS.

WORK WITH ME, PEOPLE, PLEASE?

YOU'VE BEEN PRACTICING ALL AFTERNOON.

ALL RIGHT, LOOK, THAT IS THE ONLY WAY SHE'LL BECOME A STAR.

THIS YOUNG LADY HAS THE DRIVE, THE GOOD LOOK,

AND THE INTELLIGENCE TO GET TO THE TOP,

BUT SHE WILL NOT BE ON YO! MTV RAPS

IF YOU ALL DON'T WORK WITH ME.

PRACTICE IS OVER, WILL.

ASHLEY, HONEY, IT'S TEA TIME.

OOH, TEA.

BISCUITS!

GEOFFREY, PUT ON OUR TEA TIME MUSIC, PLEASE.

YOU'LL LOVE THIS, HONEY.

IT'S BRANDENBERG CONCERTOS.

HEY, JAZZ, HIT ME WITH SOME SUGAR, MAN.

HOW ABOUT A LITTLE MILK?

NO. I'LL GET IT.

I THOUGHT THIS WAS STERLING.

IT'S GOT THAT CERTAIN WEIGHT TO IT.

AH.

YES, YES. THIS IS MY FAVORITE PART.

ASHLEY, HONEY, THIS IS POSSIBLY

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MUSIC EVER WRITTEN.

WOULD SOMEONE TURN IT UP FOR ME, PLEASE?

JAZZ, CRANK THAT UP FOR ME.

OH, YES.

OH, YES. LISTEN. LISTEN, DARLING.

LISTEN TO THE VIOLINS.

BEAUTIFUL.

OH.

THE OBOES WILL BE COMING NEXT.

AAH!

GEOFFREY, WOULD YOU TELL MISS ASHLEY

I'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO HER, PLEASE.

RIGHT AWAY, SIR.

PHILIP, PHILIP, NOW I KNOW YOU'RE UPSET,

BUT I WANT YOU TO STAY CALM.

I'M CALM.

I'M HAPPY.

I'M IN CONTROL.

YOU SEE, VIVIAN,

I HAD LOST CONTROL.

LOST CONTROL?

YOU DROP-KICKED A HUMAN BEING

ACROSS OUR FRONT LAWN.

IT FELT GOOD, DAMN IT.

I'M BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN.

YOU KNOW,

I THINK LIVING DOWN THE STREET FROM THE REAGANS

HAS HAD A VERY BAD EFFECT ON YOU.

WILL, YOUR UNCLE JUST WANTED TO SPEAK WITH ASHLEY.

NO, NO, LET HIM STAY. I WANT HIM TO HEAR THIS, TOO.

I HOPE THIS ISN'T GOING TO BE

ONE OF THOSE THEO MOMENTS.

ASHLEY, HONEY...

SIT DOWN.

ASHLEY, BABY...

THROUGH NO FAULT OF YOUR OWN,

THINGS WENT DOWN A VERY WRONG PATH THIS WEEK,

BUT LUCKILY, YOUR DADDY HAS PUT IT ALL BACK TOGETHER.

YOU'RE GOING TO RETURN TO THE VIOLIN.

I'VE CALLED MADAME CHATCHKA.

SHE'S AGREED TO GIVE YOU A MAKE-UP LESSON.

YOU MUST HAVE CAUGHT HER

ON ONE OF HER RARE FREE NIGHTS.

WILL, PLEASE?

I THINK WE'VE ALL LOST SIGHT

OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THING HERE,

AND THAT IS WHAT IS BEST FOR ASHLEY.

IT'S NOT WHAT'S BEST FOR ASHLEY.

I MEAN, YOU'RE TRYING TO CONTROL HER TOO MUCH.

SHE'S 9 YEARS OLD, AND SHE HAS A CALENDAR

TELLING HER WHERE SHE'S GOT TO BE

AND WHAT SHE'S GOT TO DO.

I SEE, BUT SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT ANYMORE

BECAUSE NOW YOU TELL HER WHAT TO DO, RIGHT?

THERE'S ONLY ONE THING WRONG WITH THAT, WILL...

YOU'RE NOT HER FATHER.

ALL RIGHT, OK. WELL THEN, HOW COME YOU DIDN'T KNOW

SHE DOESN'T LIKE THE VIOLIN.

SHE LIKED IT FOR A WHOLE YEAR

BEFORE YOU MOVED IN TO THIS HOUSE.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT?

I NEVER LIKED IT, DADDY.

THAT EXPLAINS IT.

I MEAN, LOOK, IF YOU ASK HER,

SHE'LL TELL YOU SHE WANTS TO PLAY DRUMS.

I DON'T LIKE THE DRUMS EITHER.

SEE? SEE? NOW YOU CONFUSED HER.

I'M NOT CONFUSED.

I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO DISAPPOINT YOU, WILL.

AND I DIDN'T WANT TO DISAPPOINT YOU, DADDY.

NOW HOLD ON.

NOW LET'S GET THIS STRAIGHT.

ASHLEY, HONEY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO PLEASE WILL,

AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO PLEASE YOUR FATHER.

YOU JUST CONTINUE WITH THE LESSONS THAT YOU LIKE BEST.

YOU MEAN IT, MOMMY?

ABSOLUTELY, SWEETHEART.

THEN I WANT TO QUIT BALLET.

BALLET? HONEY, NO.

OH, THANKS, MOM!

BUT YOU LOOK SO CUTE IN THAT LITTLE TUTU.

OH, I REALLY HATE IT, MOMMY.

BUT, ASHLEY, HONEY, JUST UNTIL CHRISTMAS?

DO YOU BELIEVE THAT?

SHE WANTS TO QUIT EVERYTHING.

I KNOW.

THESE KIDS TODAY,

THEY HAVE NO ATTENTION SPAN.

I BLAME TELEVISION.
