? What would you do
if I sang out of tune? ?

? Would you stand up
and walk out on me? ?

? Lend me your ears,
and I'll sing you a song ?

? I will try not to sing
out of key, yeah ?

? Oh, baby, I get by ?
? By with a little help from my friends ?

? All I need is my buddies ?

? High with a little help
from my friends ?

? I'm sayin'
I'm gonna get higher ?

? Try with a little help
from my friends ?

- ? Whoa-oa-oa-oa, yeah ?
- ? Ooh, ooh, ooh ?

[ Nat King Cole's "(I Love You)
For Sentimental Reasons" plays ]

? I love you ?

[ Slide projector clicking ]

? For sentimental reasons ?

? I hope you do believe me ?

When my parents
started out together,

Everybody still listened
to the Andrew Sisters...

Everybody was having babies,
and everybody liked Ike.

Everybody knew that
if they just worked hard...

? I love you ?

And did all the right things,

A sort of paradise
of family life lay ahead.

? And you know
you were meant for me ?

? Please give your loving heart
to me ?

[ Loud rock music plays ]

I guess "paradise"
is a relative kind of word.

Turn that noise down!

That "noise" is the best
guitarist in the whole world!

Yes, and I'm the best cook
in the world!

Now turn that down before you
cause us all brain damage!

You know, Mom,
I live here, too.

And if I want to listen
to my music...

Mom told you to turn it down!
Now turn it down!

I know what she told me.

You want to live here,
you'll live by these rules.

[ Indistinct arguing ]

My sister, that sweet, little
blond-haired angel,

Had turned into something
stranger to my parents

Than an alien from space.

The only thing they agreed on

Was that the best form
of communication

Was yelling at the top
of their lungs

And that the best form
of listening was...

Also yelling at the top
of their lungs.

Values.

Literature very often
is but a conflict of...

- Values.
- Values.

Now...

Where do we get our values?

Winnie.

From school?

Yes.

Anywhere else?

Kevin.

From our parents.

Yes, okay. Very good, Kevin.

Parents.

Anywhere else?

The Beatles?

[ laughter ]

Yes, that is very good.

We do get a lot of our tastes
and our values from our...

Cultural heroes.

Now...

Is there...

Anywhere else...

That we might get our values?

Hmm?

TV!

How about... Books?

- Ohh.
- Oh, books.

Now...

Do we always agree on...
on what values should be?

That was Joey Santino.

He'd always wait for miss white

To ask a really easy
rhetorical question.

Yes.

And then he'd get it wrong.

Anybody else?

Yes, Mr. Pfeiffer.

No.

Good!

Now...

Do values change through time?

Say, from generation
to generation?

Christine Hansen...
she always gave

These thoughtful, complete,
downright inspired answers.

She made us all sick,
but teachers loved her.

Yes, Miss White.

Some values change
from generation to generation.

But I think
the really important ones

Are the heartfelt human values,

And they stay the same
throughout the ages.

That is very good, Christine.
Okay.

What a pain in the ass.

Okay, now, as we read,

As we evaluate those characters
that we meet,

How do we know
which values should change

And which values are,

As Christine
so eloquently put it,

Heartfelt and timeless?

That was a tough question
in any time.

But in 1968...

Yes, Christine?

Can I go to the bathroom?

In 1968, even Christine Hansen
couldn't answer that one.

? The answer
is blowin' in the wind ?

? How many roads
must a man walk down... ?

And yet, in 1968,
maybe more than ever,

The question kept coming up.

Take that whole incident
with my sister, Karen,

- And Louis.
- ? Yes, and how many seas... ?

For two weeks, all we heard
about was "Louis says this"

And "Louis says that."

? before she can sleep
in the sand? ?

And then one day...

We all got to meet him.

[ engine shuts off ]

[ Guitar playing ]

This was Louis.

? Yes, and how many times... ?

He was a junior
at the state university,

An honor student
in political philosophy,

Active in student government

And various non-profit
social causes.

But I didn't know that.

[ music stops ]

All I knew was that he was on
my sister like mold on cheese.

Wow.

Paul, she's my sister!

So what? She's not my sister.

For all Karen's rebelliousness
and independence,

Or maybe because of it,

I couldn't help feeling
she needed my protection.

Go out.

[ Guitar twangs ]

Sorry!

[ Doors close,
engine turns over ]

I don't know what it was
about Louis that I didn't like.

Guess there was something about
him I didn't understand...

Something that was taking
my sister away from us.

Get out of here.
Leave my wife alone.

[ dramatic music plays ]

Steve!

Between it being at the college

And it being a weeknight
and my parents, I mean...

[ sighs ]

It's just gonna be
such a hassle.

Well, I know
a few Vietnamese peasants

Who probably feel
that it's worth the hassle.

Come here, you.

Oh, I don't think
I can march... not tonight.

Okay.

Mm.

Iced tea okay?

Yeah, sure.

Can I make a phone call?

Sure.

[ Dramatic music plays loudly ]

Kevin? Can you turn
that stupid thing down?

I was here first!

It's okay, Karen.

I sort of like watching
these old fascist films.

They're like parodies
of themselves by now.

[ Telephone dialing ]

Hi. It's me.

Yeah, sure I had fun, Marissa.

Marissa? Did he say he had fun
with Marissa?

Listen, uh, tonight, 7:30,
we're marching from Jenkins Hall

To the administration building,
and...

What?

Of course you can crash
at my place.

And that she could crash
at his place?

Okay. Good.

I love you, too.

- And that he loved her?
- No, no, no...

I couldn't believe it.
What a sicko.

It wasn't enough that
this guy was all over my sister

Like a fungus
in a damp basement.

No, he was a multi-basement
kind of guy.

I was outraged.

Okay, so, I'll pick you up
at 7:00. Bye-bye.

[ Receiver clicks ]

[ Imitating hero in a western ]
Louis...

I'm gonna have to ask you
to step outside.

Wh-what do you mean?

I'm onto you, Louis.

Ii don't know
what you're talking about.

[ Both grunting ]

Take that, you lowdown,

Snake-bellied,
lily-livered weirdo.

[ Gasping ]

[ Normal voice ]
sorry, sis. He was no good.

[ Gasps ] oh, Kevin!

I'm so glad I have
a brother like you.

I'm gonna make your bed for you
from now on.

Mm! Mmm!

Can I help you?

Who's Marissa?

A friend.

What kind of friend?

Are you asking
if she's my lover?

[Shudders]
did he have to use that word?

You must be Kevin, huh?

You must have heard me talking
on the phone with Marissa.

You want to punch me?

Do something violent?

[ Sighs ]

Kevin, your... your sister
and I... we love each other,

But it's an... it's an open
and a trusting love.

We don't own one another
like a farmer owns a cow.

You understand that?

[ Thinking ]yeah.

You're saying if it weren't
for cattle-rustling laws,

You'd have cows sleeping over
at your place, too.

Kevin, I can share love
with your sister,

And she can share love with me.

That doesn't mean I can't
share love with Marissa, too.

Sounded like a lot
of sharing to me.

I had a hunch everybody was
getting pretty small portions.

Does Karen know about this?

Louis, is he bugging you?

Kevin, do you think that maybe
you could play somewhere else?

Oh, Karen, he's fine.

We were just talking
about relationships.

[ Chuckles ]

I talked to Marissa.
She can make it tonight.

Oh, good. That makes me
feel a little less guilty.

She really did know
about Marissa.

Okay, now I was
officially confused.

I felt like
I had to take action...

To make a stand,
to do something.

But I had no idea what.

Kevin, are you just
gonna stand there?

Yes.

[ Chuckles ]

I watched Louis and my sister
make out for about 20 minutes.

After a while, I started
feeling like a third wheel.

Fortunately,
my subconscious had a plan.

Louis is here.

Oh?

Yeah,
he's in the living room...

With Karen.

Hmm.

Well, don't you want
to meet him?

I'm sure if your sister
wants me to meet Louis,

She'll introduce him.

I don't want to interfere
in her life.

Oh, really?

Would it help you to know

That this guy
is screwing around

With half
the state university system?

What's he like?

Bingo.

Disturbing.

What?

[ laughing ] Kevin!

What kind of a word is that
for you to use?

I don't know.

Well, what does that mean...
"disturbing"?

Kevin?!

What does that mean?

Okay! Don't get mad at me!

Heh-heh-heh.

If I couldn't
stop this guy myself,

I could at least get the troops
fired up.

[ both laughing ]

Mom, this is Louis.
Louis, this is my Mom.

Well, hi, Louis.
It's nice to meet you.

Mom, do we have any carrots?

Yes, honey, we have carrots,

But I thought it might be nice

If I said hello
to your... Friend.

It's really nice to meet you.

So, uh, I'm making dinner now,
Louis.

There's plenty of chicken
if you'd like to stay.

That's very nice of you,
but, actually, um...

Louis doesn't eat meat, Mom.

[ Chuckles ] it's no big deal.

I just have some qualms about
the way livestock's raised.

That's all.

Sure, sleeping with it's
no problem, but eating it...

Well, you're more than welcome
to stay

And fill up on salad
and vegetables if you like.

Well, thanks. Maybe, uh...
maybe I'll take you up on that.

So...

You don't eat any meat?

No, I really don't.

Ha!

My mother was gonna expose
this guy for the weirdo he was.

So, Mrs. Arnold,
what do you do?

I beg your pardon?

I mean, you know, for a living?

[ laughing ]
oh, of course. Right.

For a living.

Nothing.

I mean... I'm a housewife.

Oh, that's... that's
certainly not nothing.

[ laughing ] no,
you're right about that.

God knows
it's demanding at times.

I'll bet.

You find it fulfilling?

Fulfilling?

[ laughs ]

Who the hell
did this guy think he was?

Asking my mother
if her life was fulfilling?

I guess I've never
really thought about that.

Maybe you should, Mom.

Yikes.

Did you go to college,
Mrs. Arnold?

Oh, yes, I was a history major
in college.

But I met Karen's father
in my freshman year,

So I-i never finished.

You regret not finishing?

[ laughing ] oh, no!

Wow. That's great.

I mean, a lot of women
find it demeaning,

Spending their lives serving
their husbands and children.

Okay, look out.

Mom is gonna nail this guy now.

[ gasps ] oh, my god!

Oh, I am so sorry!

Oh, and your being a vegetarian
and everything.

I'm sorry. I am such a klutz.

I couldn't believe it.
Why was she apologizing to him?

My Mom likes serving us!

This Louis guy
is a major butthead!

Okay, historically, Wayne
was not the guy I turned to

In times of crisis.

But bottom line...
the Wayner was my brother,

And when it came
to protecting our kinfolk,

I knew we stood as one.

So he's a butthead.
It's just Karen.

So, he said stuff to Mom.

So?

And he's a radical...
you know, like at college?

So?

And he and Karen are lovers.

And I'm not sure if Karen
knows about this,

But he's got another lover...
named Marissa.

Whoa!

Two lovers?

You know, I bet they do it
in the microbus.

I mean, I swear I saw it
rocking back and forth before.

You know what we could do?

We could drill a hole in it
and set up a camera.

You know, I bet sometimes,
when he's doing it with Karen,

He shouts, "oh, god, Marissa!"

Oh, god! Oh! [ Smooching ]
Marissa! Marissa!"

Well, there was one more hope.

Hi, Louis. Nice to meet you.

And it was no small hope.

It was Dad, the Maginot Line
of family resistance.

Things were gonna be okay.

Dad would take care
of this guy.

Now the Arnold men
would stand together.

"oh, god, Marissa! Marissa!"

Well, some of the Arnold men.

No chicken?

Louis doesn't eat meat, Dad.

Hey, just thought
I'd mention it.

No meat, Louis?

No, meat, uh... meat just
doesn't turn me on, really.

Yeah, that's not
what I heard, pal.

[ Scoffs ]

No meat, huh?

Imagine that.

I knew it.

Dad would carve
through this guy

Like a butcher carves
through a pork loin.

Oh, I heard, honey,

Why the Vandovers didn't go
to Brian's funeral.

They were in Chicago.

Dick's mother had a stroke.

Oh.

One of the boys on our block
was killed in Vietnam

Several weeks ago.

Oh, I-i know.
I mean, uh, Karen told me.

Another meaningless death.

I beg your pardon?

Ii just meant that...

It's such a shame, uh,

A kid has to die
for basically no reason.

More broccoli, anyone?

I don't think it's meaningless

When a young man dies
for freedom and for his country.

I just have a little trouble

Justifying dying
for a government

That systematically
represses its citizens.

Oh, honey, try the potatoes.
I put grated cheese on them.

What the hell is that
supposed to mean?

It means that
the United States government

Is responsible
for the oppression

Of blacks, women, free speech.

Well, perhaps, little lady,

You'd like to go live in Russia
for a while, huh?

Oh, uh, I-i think what
Karen's saying is that, uh...

Look, buster...

I happen to believe
that freedom and democracy

Have certain advantages that
communist dictatorships don't,

And that is what Vietnam
is all about!

No, man, that's
what they brainwash you

To believe it's all about.

They [scoffs] they turn people
into brainwashed morons.

My hunch was that my father
would not let

Being called a "brainwashed
moron" at his dinner table

Go by unremarked.

So...

You think I've been brainwashed,
do you, Louis?

No. No.

Look, I think anyone

Who supports the American war
effort in Vietnam

Is having the wool
pulled over his eyes.

I see.

Just like they did with Korea.

What the hell do you know
about Korea?

I was in Korea.

I lost a lot of good friends
there.

Daddy, that doesn't
have anything to do

With what we're saying.

And they weren't brainwashed!

They were brave men

Who weren't afraid to fight
for what they believed in.

Now, if you're afraid to fight,
why don't you just say so?

Why don't you just admit
that you're chicken?!

You're damn right!
I am chicken.

I don't want to die
like your friends!

What do you think that
you achieved over there, hmm?

Do you think
that those people are free?

They're not free, man.

Except to buy Coca-Cola
and, uh, Nestl�'s Quik,

Get loans from
Chase Manhattan bank.

- That's crap!
- You were used, man,

And your friends were used.
That's crap!

Daddy, you never listen
to what we say!

Some of what we say is true!

Don't accept all this death
and then justify it.

It is wrong!

Your friends should be alive.

They should be enjoying dinner
and arguing with their kids,

Just like you are.

What do you know about it?

Who the hell are you
to say that?!

You see this, man?

[ Exhales sharply ]

This is my draft notice.

In two weeks,
I can go to jail...

I can go to Canada...

Or I can go get shot
full of holes

Like your friend Brian Cooper.

You keep thinking the way
you do, Mr. Arnold...

And these two will be next.

And I just hope
that's what they want.

Excuse me.

[ Door opens, closes ]

And so after all,
Karen left with Louis.

[ door closes ]

And Dad and Mom and I
were left with our thoughts.

Can I have her potatoes?

And Wayne was left
with himself.

Who was right,
and who was wrong?

? I love you ?

Well, I'm supposed to be
an adult now,

And I still can't completely
figure that one out.

? For sentimental reasons ?

But at some point,
late at night, near sleep,

The ideas and the disagreements
sort of dissolve,

And you're just left
with the people.

? I'll give you my heart ?

And people were no different
then than they've always been

And always will be.

? I love you ?

[ Crying ] you told me
you loved her.

You never told me
you were sleeping with her.

? And you alone
were meant for me ?

[ Door slams ]

? Please give your loving heart
to me ?

? And say we'll never part ?

Young girls
get their hearts broken.

? I think of you
every morning ?

Men and women suffer alone
over the choices they've made.

? Dream of you every night ?

[ Snoring ]

And young boys, full of
confusion, full of fear,

Full of love and courage...

? ...Whenever
you are in sight ?

Grow up stealthily
in their sleep.

? I love you ?

? For sentimental reasons ?
