boy, these foreign films
are really complicated.

It's pretty straightforward,
Barbara.

The undersea atomic explosion
awoke the creature,

and now he's attacking Tokyo.

Oh, I cannot believe
I let your aunt Rosalie

talk me into this.

Daddy, it's just a blind date.

And aunt Rosalie says
she's just your type.

And that she reminds her
a lot of mom.

Yeah, with all due respect
to your aunt Rosalie,

her judgment leaves
something to be desired.

Daddy, you just say that

'cause she lives in that
tiny apartment with a few cats.

20 cats, Carol.

That's 80 paws.

Daddy, don't go into this
with a bad attitude.

I mean, look at Carol and I.
We've had plenty of blind dates.

You've had a few good ones,
haven't you?

Not really.

Yeah, me neither.

Okay, I feel better.

Hi, westons.

Can I watch the weather
on your TV?

What's wrong
with your TV, Charley?

Nothing.
Anyway, here's the thing.

Word is that channel 58's
weatherman is leaving,

and they're looking for
a new one, so I was thinking,

"maybe I'll give up the
cruise-ship thing and do that."

Charley, you can't just be
a weatherman.

You know nothing
about meteorology.

What's to know? This is Miami.

It's always sunny,
humid, and 72.

All right, here we go.

Hey, Harry. Where you off to?

Blind date.

Blind date, huh?

Good move.
Blind dates are great.

- Really?
- Oh, yeah.

A gal willing to go out
with someone sight unseen...

We're talking desperate.

We're talking naked by midnight.

Charley, I've been meaning
to ask you for a very long time.

Don't you have neighbors
on the other side of your house?

Chain locks.

Make a note... Chain locks.

- Good night.
- Good night, daddy.

- Have a good date.
- Thank you, dear.

Hey, I'm missing the weather.

And this high-pressure area

is due to a cold front
moving in from Canada.

This could be very bad news
for the citrus crop.

Whoo, what a yawn.

Forget about being a weatherman.

I'm sorry it didn't work out
for you, Charley.

- Now back to you, Tanya.
- Thank you, Bob.

Whoa! Rethink.

Who is that goddess?

That's Tanya hanes,
one of the anchor ladies.

Well, I don't care
what she does for a living.

She's a babe.

And I'm gonna be working
beside her.

Excuse me, gals.

But I got to rehearse
my weatherman lingo

if I'm gonna get that job.

Too bad about that
nuclear meltdown, Bob.

But on the plus side,

it's gonna be sunny
this weekend.

I got to tell ya,
that coffee cake is terrific.

Well, thanks.
It's my own recipe.

It's delicious.

Oh, oh, are these your children?

Yes.

Oh, nice-looking kids.

Oh, not kids anymore.

Suzanne's married
and living in Boston.

And Kevin and his family
live in Dallas.

Yeah.

I have three girls.

Oh, where are they?

At home.

Well, no,
actually, my youngest, Emily,

is going to college up north.

But seeing as she's changed
her major five times

in four semesters,

I have a feeling she's gonna be
joining us real soon too.

I really do like your house
and what you've done with it.

Oh, thanks.

After the divorce,
I thought about selling it,

what with the kids
gone and everything,

but I just couldn't.

I put so much of myself into it.

More coffee?
No, no, no, dear. Thank you.

I-I really should be going.

Tell me, am I alone here,

or did we just have
a good blind date?

You're not alone.

- I'd like to do it again.
- I'd like that too.

Great.

Okay, uh, Wednesday.

Fine.

Well, good night.

- Oh, hold it.
- Oh.

What, what, am I drooling?

I was... i was assured
I had that under control.

No, I got some lipstick on you.

There.

- I'll call you.
- Great.

Good night.

Ah, yes, indeed. Good night.

Good morning, Laverne.

Oh, I see
your blind date went well.

Laverne, you really think
you've got me pegged, don't you?

You think you read me
like a book.

Maybe, but you ain't exactly
a page-Turner.

As it happens, I did have
a very nice time.

In fact, I'm gonna be taking
Claire out again Wednesday.

So if you would, please,
reservations, Emilio's, 8:00.

I already did.

Ha ha! Yeah, sure.

That well even
you don't know me.

Wrong, that dinner date
is already

in this here appointment book.

Really? Let me see that.

Ah, ha ha!

As I figured, it is not in that
book, and you were bluffing.

Wrong.

I got a dollar says I'm right.

Can we drop this, doctor?

Let's make it $3.

Fine. Have it your way.

I'll pay you later.

I only have a ten.

I anticipated that as well.

Here's a five and two ones.

Now, don't be making that face
any longer than it normally is.

Tell me about this lady.

Well, actually, Claire is great.

And there was this
one little thing that happened.

I had a little smudge
of lipstick on my cheek.

She wiped it off.

I don't know...
Just a sweet, simple gesture,

kind of thing Libby used to do.

Hi, Dr. Weston.

Oh, Jeffrey.

Hello, nurse Todd.

May I say you look
lovely in white?

And the culottes
are a refreshing change

from your usual pants outfit.

Well, thank you, Jeffrey.

I know I don't have
an appointment, Dr. Weston.

But can I talk to you?
It's rather urgent.

Sure.

All right, my friend...

What's on your mind?

Well I'd like a note
excusing me from school

for the next four years.

Jeffrey, what is this all about?

Something terrible
has happened Dr. Weston,

- something horrible.
- What?

Last week my father
enrolled me in...

Public school.

He felt it would be good for me
to be around regular children.

Well, Jeffrey,
I think your father's right.

But I'm not fitting in,
Dr. Weston.

I have nothing in common
with these kids.

You wouldn't believe
the looks I got

when I tried
my standard icebreaker...

"hello, I'm Jeffrey.
I've memorized pi to 34 places."

That's the look.

Jeffrey, it's only been a week.

I don't like it there,
Dr. Weston.

I want to go back to the school
for the incredibly gifted.

I miss my old friends...

Takashi, the concert cellist,

and little hans, who was doing

such promising work
in psychobiology.

Jeffrey, listen here now.

When I was a little boy
about your age,

my parents sent me away to camp,
and I hated it.

And I called every day,
and I begged them,

and I cried,
"please, take me home."

But after about a week,

when I stopped
fighting it so much,

I mean, I discovered
camp wasn't that bad.

In fact, I liked it.
I grew to love it.

I see your point, Dr. Weston...
Very instructive anecdote.

Oh, thank you.

Yet curiously similar to
Allan sherman's 1963 hit song,

hello muddah, hello fadduh.

Yeah, well...

Good-bye, Dr. Weston.

Everything looks great.

Good evening.
May I take your order?

Yes, I'd like
the chicken marsala, please.

Very good. And you, sir?

Oh, I can't decide between
the lasagna and the Halibut.

Fish is better for you.

I know, but I love
the lasagna here.

The Halibut has fewer calories
and less cholesterol.

You really should have that.

Claire, I am a doctor.

Oh, of course. I'm sorry.

I'll have the Halibut...

But for all different reasons
than she was saying.

Oh, I really am
sorry about that.

It's force of habit.

I spent 25 years watching
my ex-husband's diet.

Well, there's no need
to apologize.

I understand.

- Yeah?
- Oh, yeah.

My wife, Libby,
used to do the same thing.

So...

Us.

Oh...

Here.

- What is this?
- Oh, just a little something

I saw in a store today
and thought of you.

Claire, you shouldn't have.

Harry, please,
it's just a small gift.

You've taken me out
a couple of times, and...

Well, open it.

Oh.

Oh, oh.

I thought it would look good
with that sport coat

you wore the other night.

Well, it's beautiful.

Oh, here.

Wait.

There.

I never could figure out
how to do that.

That is such
a pretty color on you.

Well, thank you.
That's very sweet of you.

Now, I want you to know
that every time I wear it,

I will think of you, this night,

and how very much
I really wanted that lasagna.

No.

Hi, Barbara,
you cute thing, you.

Carol.

What do you want, Charley?

I wanted you
to be the first to know

you're looking at
the new channel 58 weatherman.

Charley, you got the job.

Well, practically.
I just have to audition.

But those other 70 guys
don't stand a chance.

The camera loves the dietz-ster.

Charley, I'm curious.

You had some sort
of interview, I take it.

- Yeah.
- And it never came up

that you know absolutely nothing
about the weather?

Well, I think
I nipped that in the bud.

When they called me in,
the first thing I said was,

"hey, nice weather outside."

Yeah, I can't wait
to start working with Tanya.

And the best part is,

when I finally do get her
over to my place,

she won't freeze up
when I turn the camera on.

Charley.

Hey, Harry.

Mighty dark weather
we're having.

- Hi, girls.
- How was your date?

- Not bad.
- Where'd you go to dinner?

- Uh, Emilio's.
- And what did you have?

Claire had the chicken.
I wanted lasagna.

She talked me into the Halibut.

Oh, good for her.

Where'd you get
the handkerchief?

Oh, Claire gave it to me.

It's very beautiful, daddy.
She has good taste.

And you finally learned
how to make the three points

like mom used to.

No, actually, Claire did that.

So when do we get to meet her?

I know. Why don't you have her
stop by on your next date?

Well, I'm not so sure
there is gonna be a next date.

- Why not?
- I don't know.

Something just
doesn't feel right.

- Well, what?
- I don't know.

It's me, isn't it?

No, Carol.

This has absolutely
nothing to do with you.

Oh.

I bet I know what it is.

You've never been out with
someone who is so much like mom,

someone so compatible,
and maybe it's a little scary.

- Yeah.
- I don't know.

Maybe you're right.
I guess... i guess that's it.

- I know that's it.
- I'm positive that's it.

Okay, good.
We all agree, that's it.

That's not it.

Good morning, Laverne.

Hmm. Sounds like you're having
ambivalent feelings

about Claire.

Laverne, you stop that.
You stop that right now.

I'm instituting
a new policy around here.

From now on, I want to be

the first person in this office
who knows what I'm feeling.

Is that understood?

Even before you said it.

- Dr. Weston, may I see you?
- Yeah, sure.

Well, hello, nurse Todd.
Nice eye shadow.

It brings out the Hazel
in your eyes.

Well, thank you, Jeffrey.

Come.

All right, so how's it going
at public school now?

Well, I've become quite popular

with many of the players
on the football team.

Oh, great! See, I told you.

It's just gonna take
a little bit of time.

Right as usual, Dr. Weston.

And now if you could give me
a prescription

for some sort of stimulant,
I'll be on my way.

What is going on?

Well, I'm having
to stay up very late

doing all
the football players' homework.

That's why
they're being nice to you...

Because you're
doing their homework?

Jeffrey, these people
are not your friends.

They're using you. Yeah, well...

Did it ever occur to you,
Dr. Weston,

that perhaps I'm using them,

that I want to do their homework
under the threat of violence?

Jeffrey, listen to me.

You are a terrific kid,
and you deserve real friends.

But the kids at this school

don't want somebody like me
for a friend.

They think of me
as an egghead...

Or they would if they were
familiar with the term.

Listen to me. I want you to go
back to that school.

Just be yourself, and you're
gonna make lots of friends.

You'll see.

- All right, I'll try.
- Good boy.

But could you
at least send me off

with one
of your trademark cliches?

Well, just hang in there,
keep a stiff upper lip,

and everything will work out
for the best.

- Thanks.
- You're welcome.

Yes, aunt Rosalie, Claire's
on her way here right now

to meet the girls.

Hello? Uh, aunt Rosalie,
you have to speak up.

I can't hear you
with all that meowing.

Yes, I know. Yeah, Claire
is a very nice lady.

Oh, well, I think
it's much too soon

to be talking
about marriage, dear.

Yes, I know we all need somebody
to rub up against our shins.

Yeah, aunt Rosalie, dear,
I have to go.

I love you, dear. Bye.

Okay. Oh, boy, nice job.

You girls did okay.

Daddy?

Do you think
I'm a complete loser?

Where did that, uh, come from?

I was cleaning.

And I noticed how the light
sliced through the dust.

And I thought,
"one day that's what I'll be...

Dust."

And what will
I have to show for it?

No husband, no children.

I don't know
about my job at the library.

Oh, come... Carol, Carol, Carol.
Shh, shh, shh.

Come on, baby.
You're gonna be okay.

What a nut.

I'm sorry, daddy.

Fine time I picked
to reassess my life.

It's not your fault, dear.

I mean, you were cleaning,
dust flew up...

Could happen to anyone.

Come on. Let's talk about this.

No, it's okay. I'm fine now.

Hi, all.

Or should I say,
"back to you, westons"?

Charley, you got
the weatherman job.

Yep.

Life is random and meaningless.

Well, Charley, that's great.
Congratulations.

So, come on, what's the weather
forecast for the weekend?

Who knows?

But I do predict
that by sunrise,

Tanya will be experiencing
a warm front

with partially scattered
clothing.

Uh, oh, listen, that's Claire.

Charley, I think you should go.

- Oh, I want to meet her.
- Uh, I-i don't know.

Hey, if I do anything
to embarrass you,

you just give me the signal,
and I'm out of here.

All right, okay.

- Hi, Claire.
- Hi, Harry.

Well, these are my daughters.
This is Carol and Barbara.

Hello.

And this is our next-door
neighbor, Charley dietz.

Hi.

Hey, you look pretty good
from this side.

Turn around.

Something I said, right?

Well, it is a pleasure
to meet both of you.

I've heard so much about you.

Oh, listen, you go on and talk.

I'm gonna let dreyfuss in.

Why don't you
have a seat, Claire?

Oh, I see
somebody's been dusting.

Dreyfuss! Dreyf, look at...

How many times have I told you?

Stay out
of Mrs. Patrick's garden.

Look at this.

One, two, three...
Six times I've told you that.

I know you feel bleak
and hopeless right now, Carol.

But it's like I used to tell
my daughter Suzanne,

when you stop obsessing on it,

these things tend to fall
right back into place.

Excuse me, Claire, I think...
I think we should get going.

Oh, I wish
we had more time to talk.

Well, it was lovely
meeting both of you.

- Good night.
- Good night.

- Good night. Have fun.
- Yeah, we shall.

- Thanks.
- Bye-bye.

So what do you think?

She's cool.

Cool?

Great. No, thank you
for that in-depth analysis.

You know, you really give new
meaning to the word "shallow."

Oh, yeah?

Look, Carol...

Dust!

Oh, Harry, your daughters
are just wonderful.

They are.

And it felt so good
being a mother again...

Helping Carol with her problems.

That must be hard for you...
Relating to girls,

with so little time
and being as busy as you are.

Claire, we have to talk.

Well, sure, Harry.

Claire, you are a terrific lady

who would take good care of me.

Oh, thank you, Harry.

But I don't like
being taken care of anymore.

Hi, daddy.
Did you have fun with Claire?

Well, I'm afraid I won't be
seeing Claire anymore.

- Why not? What happened?
- Ah, it's a funny thing.

You know, she took
such good care of me,

the way your mom used to,

but what I hadn't realized
is that

in the years
since your mom died,

I've changed.

I don't want a woman
to mother me anymore.

I kind of like
taking care of myself.

Does that sound strange?

No, that doesn't sound strange.

It sounds like you've grown.
Maybe so.

All I know is, I like ordering

whatever I want at a restaurant.

I like picking out
my own clothes.

I like wearing my hankie
with one point.

But most of all,

I like finally being
a real father to my kids.

I mean, you know,
when you were little,

you had problems,
you went to your mom,

because she was so good at it,

and I was so wrapped up
in my practice.

But after your mom passed away,
I-i had the feeling

that I'd been given
a second chance to be dad.

And that's become
the most important,

meaningful thing in my life.

And maybe it's selfish,

but I don't want to share that
with anybody right now.

- Oh, daddy.
- Oh.

- I love you, daddy.
- Mm. Thank you, ladies.

Good morning, Laverne.

Oh, you and Claire broke up.

Laverne!

Carol told me the whole story.

- Oh, all right.
- You want to talk about it?

Ah, you know what bothers me?

The thing that turned me off
about Claire

was a big part
of what I loved in Libby.

So I wonder,
if I were to meet Libby today,

would I still fall in love
with her?

Well, you know me
so well, Laverne.

Come on, tell me.
What do you think?

What do I look like,
a mind reader?

Fine.

Hello, Dr. Weston.

- Nurse Todd.
- Hi, Jeffrey.

Hello, Jeffrey.
More problems at school?

No, I'm happy to report
that you were right, Dr. Weston.

I've come to like public school.

Well, I'm so glad to hear that.

What happened?

Well, I found
this wonderful organization

called the audio-visual club,

where I finally found
some kindred spirits.

Come on in.

Oh! Hi.

How do you do, Dr. Weston?

We've heard a lot about you,

though Jeffrey failed to mention
your rugged good looks.

Lay off. She's mine.

- Good-bye, Dr. Weston. Thanks.
- Bye.

Bye.

Ah.

What is this for?

Daddy, quick. Charley's about
to make his big TV debut.

And now for the weather,

we welcome a new addition
to the channel 58 news team,

Charley dietz. Charles...

Thank you, Bob.

Well, it was
another beautiful day

here in the Miami area...

Sunny and humid,

with a high of 72 dietz-grees.

Not so lucky were the folks
in the pacific northwest,

where there was
a freak hailstorm

which produced hailstones
the size of...

Well, Tanya's breasts.

We are experiencing
technical difficulties.

Please stand by.
