[ Sam Narrating ]
Traveling through time is a lot like
leaping out of the frying pan...

and into the fire.

Sometimes it goes
from bad to worse.
[ Yelling ]

Then again, sometimes
I get the satisfaction
of a job well done.

Unfortunately,
as soon as onejob ends,
another one begins.

And until I get my bearings,
Come on, sailor boy, move.

I always feel
a little lost at sea.
Let's go. Hey!

Thanks.

[ Man ]
Bus driver.

[ Sam Thinking ]
Oh, my God. I'm Popeye.

[ Sam Narrating ] Most people
would be completely disoriented
by stepping off a bus...

and not knowing where,
much less who, they were.

But leaping into the unknown
had given me a detective's instincts.

I'd leaped back as Charles Lee Mackenzie,
Aviation Machinists Mate,
Second Class, U.S. Navy.

Japanese yen and the sea bag
told me he was shipping home
from the Far East.

And home appeared to be...

Oak Creek, Ohio,
August 4,1 953.

Sorry.

Charlie! Welcome home.

Dad?
It's good to see you.

Don't they feed you in the navy?
You're as thin as a cornstalk.

Throw that thing in there.

Charlie-san!
[ Speaking Japanese ]

[ Truck Clattering ]

You remember that old gal,
Lois Thurman, who lived
half mile east of us?

Well, her-- her old man
stopped coming around,

and so she finally
just gave it all up...

and she moved
out west to Arizona.

I think she retired.
Last I heard, she retired.

She's out there living
with the jackrabbits.
[ Laughs ]

She was a good ol' gal.
I liked her.
Do you remember her?

[ Sam Narrating ] It wasn't
exactly Indiana, but this leap
made me feel like I was going home.

Maybe because
there was something about Henry--

his smile, his laugh.

Something reminded me
of my own dad.

You remember her?
She's had two calves.

She's calved twice
since you been in the navy.

She was a good ol'Jersey heifer.
[ Laughs ]

Sandy? Sandy--
[ Continues, Indistinct ]

[ Chattering ]
Howdy, ma'am.

What the hell--

Pardon me, ma'am.
[ Speaking Japanese ]

My name is Machiko Mackenzie.

What are you doing
here in Oak Creek?

I try to find a husband--

To find my husband.

You lost your husband?
[ Speaking Japanese ]

Yeah, well--
[ Continues In Japanese ]

Yeah, you just come on.
Go with me.

[ Man ]
She getting back on the bus?

[ Spits ]

[ Woman ]
You make the best lemonade
in Maddox County, Lenore.

Well, save some for Charlie.
I'm out of lemons.

Hey, you know that big surprise
Charlie wrote you about?
Uh-huh.

Well, I bet that he's finally
gonna ask me to marry him.

Huh. I think he'd have
wrote you about that.

Well, he's just lucky
that I waited.

The way I heard it,
you didn't exactly wait, Naomi.

What I meant, Lenore,

is wait to get married.

I don't know if getting married
would be the best thing
for Charlie right now.

Naomi, where did you
get these flowers?

Alongside the road. Why?
Honestly.
They're filled with bugs.

You're supposed to
shake them off before you--
[ Horn Honks ]

Oh, he's home!
Charlie!

[ Lenore ]
Oh, Charlie!

Charlie! Charlie!

Charlie. Oh, I can't believe
you're home!
Mom?

Oh, I can't believe
it's been two years.

Oh, look at you!
You look so different.

Well, yeah,
I-I know what you mean.

Well, aren't you even
gonna say hello?

Hmm?
Uh, hi.

Oh, you can do
better than that, Charlie.

Aren't you gonna tell me
how good I look?

You haven't changed a bit.
[ Chuckles ]

I'm a brunette now,
Charlie.

It's so hot.
I thought we'd sit outside.
I made some lemonade.

Now, Naomi, you let Charlie
sit a few minutes.
Okay.

Henry, take his things
upstairs.
Oh, gosh.

No, that's okay.
I'll get it, Dad.

Your father
will take care of it.

Uh, it's all right.
Uh, I've got it.

It's so good
to have you home.

[ Sighs ]
Now you sit down
and have some lemonade.

And I'm gonna
get you some brownies.

[ Sighs ]

Mm, alone at last.

Naomi, wanna come
help me in the kitchen?

[ Sighs ]

Bye, Charles.

[ Lenore ]
Come on!

[ Exhales ]

[ Sam Narrating ]
I've always loved
a farm in the summer.

The smell of corn,
wheat rustling in the breeze.

The sounds of calves
mooing after their mothers.

It always takes me home.
Personally,
I'd rather be in Vegas.

Vegas?
Al, how can you say that?
Look around you.

I did look around.
I'm glad I'm a hologram.
I almost stepped in it.

You're hopeless.
Just tell me what I'm here to do.

Well, all we know is that you--
er, Charlie--
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's your name, Charlie.
You got hooked by Naomi,
and you have a miserable marriage.

So Ziggy figures you're here
to keep Charlie from tying the knot
with the bottled brunette.

Who, come to think of it,
would fit in perfect in Vegas.

That's it?
Yeah.

It's a piece of cake.
Ziggy figures, uh, 97%.

[ Ziggy Beeps ]
[ Horn Honking ]

Course, there's always
that three percent
margin of error.

Hey, Charlie.
Looks like you put
a few pounds on there.

What in the world?
Mrs. Mackenzie.

Mr. Mackenzie.
Oh, what can we do
for you, Herman?

Well, I found this lady
wandering on Main Street,

and she claims
that she's married to your son.

Uh-oh, Sam.
Trouble in River City.

Well, I never heard
of such a thing.

Herman, is this
your idea of a joke?

No, ma'am. She says
she's Mrs. Charlie Mackenzie.

Uh, jump in anytime
you feel like it, Sam.

Don't blame me.
Blame Ziggy.

Charlie-san.
[ In Japanese ]

Uh, Mr. and Mrs. Mackenzie?

I am most honored
to meet the family
of my husband.

Surprise.

[ Ziggy Beeping ]
We didn't go back
far enough, Sam.

Mrs. Mackenzie,
for you, dozo.

Thank you.
No, thank you.

[ Sam ]
What's wrong?
Nothing's wrong.

It's just that I already have
a bathrobe.

There's plenty wrong.
They never accepted her.

She had to go back toJapan,
alone and heartbroken,
and she never remarried.

Mr. Mackenzie,
I would be honored
to wash your feet.

Oh, come again?

That's an ancient ritual
in parts ofJapan, Sam.

Um--
When the daughter-in- law
meets the father-in-law,

she washes his feet
and then dries it with her hair.
Kind of a--

It's a Japanese custom.

Oh, well, uh--
[ Laughs ]

I suppose if it's a custom.
Henry!

We're not in Japan.

Well, I reckon you kids
must be pretty tuckered out.

[ Both Speaking Japanese ]

Charlie, where'd you learn
to speak that gibberish?

You speak seven modern languages
and four dead ones, Sam.

The boy has been in Japan
for the last two years, Lenore.

[ Henry ]
We got your old room
all fixed up.

They can't stay
in the same room together.

Uh, just till Reverend Felcher
gets you married proper.

Um, until we get
married again...

in America,

it would be better
to honor my parents' wishes.

[ Al ] Nicely done, Sam.
[ Lenore ]
She can have the summer porch.

The spare room will do fine.
That's Eileen's room.

It's not a shrine.
But that's Eileen's room.

Who is Eileen?

Charlie's sister.

She died over a year ago.

Such news saddens my heart.

Well, come on, Mach--

Machiko.
Yeah, Machiko.

Come on, Machiko.
Come see some bare-butt shots...

I've got of Charlie
when he was a baby.

[ All Chuckle ]

Charlie, how could you?
[ Henry, Indistinct ]

How could I what, Mom?
What?

You just waltz in here
with thatJapanese bride...

and expect me
to take her in?

How could you
do this to me?

I wasn't thinking of it
as doing something to you.

That woman will never
be part of my family.

Do you hear me?
Never!

[ Rooster Crows ]

# # [Japanese ]

[ Speaking Japanese ]
Good morning.

Did something spill?

Oh, no.
I clean kitchen floor.

My kitchen floor's clean enough
for anybody that wears shoes.

Hai.

Rice?
I wanted to help
make breakfast.

We don't eat rice
for breakfast in America.

And I don't need any help.
Thank you.

Mother, look what Charlie
brought us back from Japan.
[ Sniffs ]

Mm-mmm.
It smells much better
than that stuff we drink in bags.

What's wrong?
American tea isn't
good enough for you?

Where's Machiko?
Outside, pouting.

There's something strange
about Charlie.
Strange?

He's... different.

[ Laughs ]
Well, he's a man now.

No, it's something else.

The look in his eyes.

A mother can tell.

She did it to him.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

It's the shoes, isn't it?
It's worse than peeling onions.

Come on. What?

Charlie-san,
I try to please your mother.

I cook rice, clean floor.

Do smelly shoes to show respect.

But I'm afraid
she very angry with me.

She's not angry.
She's just--

[ Sighs ]
This is all
a big change for her.

She's just not used to it yet.

You know what?
You're gonna
have to change too.

You're not a servant.
You're my wife.

But is wife's duty to serve
her husband and his family?

It's not a duty.
It's a choice.
You're in America now.

I see your mother
do everything for Henry-san.

Yeah, well, um--

Henry worked very hard
for a long time.

Now he's retired. And--
Oh.

I think all men in Japan
must be retired.

[ Laughs ]

No. What I mean is,

[ Sniffles ]
in this country,

the woman
can decide for herself
what she wants to do...

or what she wants to be,
just like a man.

She has what we call
"equal rights."

You mean, in States,
man and woman
"same-u, same-u"?

Same-u, same-u.
The man can take care
of the house.

The woman
can have a job.
[ Laughs ]

You big joker, you.
No, it's true.

Now, Charlie-san,
Hmm.

give to me our wallet.
What for?

If a wife have equal right,

then husband's money
is wife's money too, ne?

Uh, well, yeah.

If I'm American,
I want to have American dress,
like Naomi-san.

[ Laughs ]
Okay.

I could use a
couple new shirts. Um--

You wanna drive into town?

You teach me to drive a car?

Charlie-san, yes, please.

[ Sam ]
Watch the road. Okay.

And we go faster. Hmm?
Faster?

You're already in second.
[ Giggles ]

Okay, now, now,
slip it into third.

[ Gears Grinding ]
Yeah, yeah, okay.

That's good.
That's-- That's great.
That's just fine.

Turn right.
Turn right here.
Th-That's it.

Right.
There you go. Okay.

Easy.
Don't let it stall.
[ Giggling ]

[ Tires Skid ]
[ Groans ]
Why did you do that?

[ Speaking Japanese ]
Such beautiful flowers.

Is it all right for us
to take some home
to your mother?

Uh, yeah.
I think she'd like that. Ahh.

Good brakes, ne?

Must be made in Japan.

Why are you looking
at them like that?

Far away,
all daisies are alike.

Together,
they make beautiful garden.

But if you look close,
you can see a little difference
in each one,

and remember its beauty
a whole lifetime.

[ Sam Narrating ]
Americanizing Machiko seemed like
the best way to help Lenore accept her,

but she had an inner beauty,
uniquelyJapanese,

that I hoped she would never
have to lose in order to blend in
with all the other daisies.

Is-- Is that an old
Japanese custom?

[ Laughs ]
No. I shake bugs off.

Oh, I'll drive.
L-Let me drive.

Machiko, in America,

the wife walks
next to the husband,
not behind him.

What's your problem?

You forget
how to speak English?

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Charlie, it's good to have you home.
Don't worry about old Rusty there.

He's still fighting World War II.

Hey, come on inside.
I got a new shipment.
Latest fashions. Come on.

W-Well, we'll think
of these as training heels.

We'll have you in pumps
by New Year's.

[ Both Laughing ]

Thanks for the ride, Pastor.
Why, no problem at all.

And we sure appreciate
all your help
with the church picnic.

Do you think Charlie and his wife
will feel well enough
to be there tomorrow?

Oh, no. Uh, thatJapanese food
they brought back with them
has them both flat on their back.

[ Horse Nickers ]

Oh, I love it
when you're angry, Charlie.

What are you doing here?

Well, I haven't really
welcomed you home yet, have I?

Oh, Charlie,
remember in high school...

when we used to
crawl under the bleachers?

I'm married now.
I know.

But it's not your fault.
You were far away from home.
Cut off from your own kind.

Look. You don't understand.
I do.

Charlie, you made a mistake,
and now you're trying to
do the right thing.

Oh, Charlie,
you make me so crazy.

Oh, touch me, Charlie.

Touch me everywhere.
[ Moans ]

Taking a little time-out
for a roll in the hay, Sam?

This is not what it looks like.

Charlie, you don't have to
pretend with me.

When I think of all the times
you tried to make me feel like a sleaze.
Charlie.

Do you know if little Machiko
came in here right now,
it would break her heart.

Charlie.
Can't you see
that she cornered me?

Yes! But there's a way out.

Look. Just--
Daddy knows a lawyer.

Let me up.
No.

Oh, yeah. Yes.
Naomi, listen to me.

Yes!
I'm-- I'm married now.

Sam, cut to the chase, will you?
Tell her to put an egg in her shoe
and beat it.

Stop it, Naomi.

Uh, Sam, uh,
I think we got a problem here.

Naomi, I'm just trying to say
that I think we should
just go down--

Yeah. Really?
And forget that the whole thing
every happened.

[ Naomi Screams ]
Charlie-san!

I see your daughter-in-law
is up and on her feet.

Charlie-san!

- Machiko.
- Naomi!

- Reverend Felcher.
- Oh!

Oh, boy.
[ Pig Snorting ]

[ Naomi ]
Then I climbed up
to help Charlie get unstuck,

but we both fell off,
and that's how my shirt
came undone.

You see, I knew there had to be
a simple explanation.

And what was she doing
running around here
half naked?

Don't ask me.
I'm just as shocked
as y'all are.

Ha! The only thing
that'd shock her
would be a cattle prod.

Well, Charles?

Uh, well--
Sam, I was stationed
in Japan.

And I know in those remote areas,
the women, when they worked
in the fields,

they take their top off
all the time in the summer.

In Japan, when it's hot,
It was hot. No problem.

in fields, it's okay for women
to work that way.

She-- She didn't realize that--
that-- that it would offend anyone.

Well, live and learn.

You tell her
we're not offended, Charlie.
It's forgotten.

We wanna see the whole family
at the picnic.

We'll all be there.
Thanks, Earl.

Take care, Betty.

[ Car Door Closes ]
[ Engine Starts ]

Well, excitement's over.
Let's have supper.
I'm starved.

How can you even think
about your stomach
at a time like this?

I have never been
so humiliated in my life.

And as far as
that picnic is concerned,
you can just go without me.

Oh, Judas Priest.
I will not be gawked at.

Nobody's gonna
gawk at you, Lenore.

Like nobody gawked at Eileen?
Is that what this is about?

I'm not going
to the picnic tomorrow.
And that's that.

[ Horse Nickers ]

And they say only Orientals
have to save face.

Charlie.

Naomi, please, just--

[ Sighs ]
Stay away from me.

Do you love her?

Well, we're married,
aren't we?

But do you love her?

Just read my lips:
Charlie Mackenzie
loves Machiko.

[ Sighs ]
Can I show you something?

Remember this, Charlie?
[ Chuckles ]

Hmm?

[ Laughs ]

You've been gone a long time.

You got lonely.
I understand that.
I got lonely too.

But you're home now, Charlie.

With my wife.

You just can't
throw me away, Charlie.

Not after waiting two years.
Not after what I did for Eileen.

What's Eileen
have to do with this?

Who do you think stood by her
when she got knocked up?

Everybody else was laughing at her,
and I was her friend.

She would have driven off that bridge
a lot sooner than she did
if it wasn't for me.

Eileen committed suicide.

Sheriff says it was an accident,
but I think she just wanted to...

check out.
Oh, God.

Charlie. Charlie, Charlie,
Charlie, Charlie, Charlie.
Naomi, look.

I appreciate
what you did for Eileen.

But I'm married, and...

what we had is over.
No, Charlie.

Naomi. Naomi!
No!

It's over.

All right. Fine.

Then, um--

I guess that, um,
[ Clears Throat ]

all that's left for me to do now
is to be your friend.

[ Chattering ]

There.
[ Smacks Lips ]

Perfect.

I look American.
Oh, yes, very American.

Now, remember what I told you.
When you first meet someone,

be sure to compliment them
just the way I said, okay?

Aso.
Thank you, Naomi-san.
Ah, don't mention it, honey.

You are going to make
a real lasting impression.

Ah, well, um,
I know that you already know
the reverend and his wife.

This is Mr. and Mrs. Ellis.
This is Mrs. Charlie Mackenzie.

Mr. Ellis is our mayor.
Well, pleased to meet you.

Congratulations
on your prosperity.

You and your wife
are very, very fat.

[ Gasps ]
I-I'm sure in Japan...

the customs are quite different
than they are here.

Well, Machiko, I guess
we'd better be going now.

Well, I never!

Naomi-san, you lied to me
about American custom.

Now, why would I do that?

I think you are
not very nice person.

[ Woman ]
Watch out! Watch out!
Charlie-san, take me home.

Why? Did Naomi do this?

I have shamed you.
No, Machiko.

You could never shame me.

I told Mr. and Mrs. Ellis
they are fat.

Well, they--
they are kinda big.

I insult your friends.
No one here will ever like me.

I like you.

But you are my husband.

Okay.
I'm a little biased.

My dad is crazy about you.
Now, that's two of us.

But your mother,
I feel she will never like me.

Well, you're just gonna
have to give her a little time.

She'll come around.

Okay?

That's my pretty girl.
You like baseball?

Kill the ump!
[ Laughs ]

Hey, you understand baseball.

Play ball!

[ Catcher]
Come on now.

All right.

[ Cheering ]
Slide!

Charlie-san!

[ Woman ]
This is a baseball game.
You okay?

You okay? Rusty, he used to
play Triple-A ball
before the war.

Takes the game real serious.
[ Woman ]
Batter up! Batter up! Come on!

You know something, Sam.

I would have given him a pop
on the lip, 'cause he deserves it.

What's the point?

Well, it would have
made me feel better.

- [ Girl ] Out of the park!
- [ Al ] All right.

Let's tag one.

[ Crowd Yelling, Cheering ]

- [ Umpire ] Hey!
- Beanball! That was a beanball, ump!

Easy, Rusty.
This isn't pro ball.

What's the matter with you?
He's throwing at my man's head.

Play ball.
You got a problem there, ump.

You're all right, Charlie.
You're all right. Get 'im.
Get 'im. Let's go.

[ Man ]
Come on, Rusty.
Knock him off.

All right, Sam.
Just make contact now.

[ Crowd Groans ]

Sam, lean into this one.
The first two were inside.

This is gonna be on the outside.

[ Woman ]
Hit that ball right out of the park.

Bongo! All right!
Go for it!

Sam, look out!

- What is your problem?
- I hateJaps!

[ Clamoring ]
No, Charlie-san, please.
No fight, please!

Sam, pop him one for me.
Pop him right in the lip.

Give him a fat lip.

[ Man ]
Get the game on.
Ain't nothing personal.

Jerk, he deserves it.

[ Wind Whistling ]
[ Thunder ]

[ Clucking ]

Machiko, you go inside.
I'll go help with the animals.

You all right?

[ Henry ]
Come help me with the stock.

Get them hens.
Come on. Come on.

Don't just stand there.
Get down in the storage cellar.

Yes, Mrs. Mackenzie.

[ Phone Ringing ]

Hello? Delores?

What's the matter?

I can't talk to you right now.
There's a storm coming in.

She said what?
[ Thunder ]

What?
[ Sighs ]

Why do you do that?
Mrs. Mackenzie?

That.
It is a custom
to show respect.

Respect?
What do you know of respect?
Telling people how fat they are.

Please, Mrs. Mackenzie.
It was a mistake.

I'm sick of your mistakes.
I beg your forgiveness.

You can beg
till hell freezes over.
Please, Mrs. Mackenzie.

Don't touch me!
Don't talk to me!
Don't even look at me!

[ Sobbing ]

[ Rusty ]
Come on. Get in.

Are you all right?
Yes.

Where's Machiko?
I don't know.

She's not still upstairs,
is she?
No.

Well, where is she?
She went out.

Out?
What do you mean out?
God knows what these people do.

She's probably running naked
in the wind. Charlie!
Where are you going?

After my wife.
Come back down here!

Henry, do something!
You've already done it!

Please let me out.

[ Dog Barking ]

Not too talkative, are you?

Well, maybe that's why
Charlie married you, huh?

[ Laughs ]

Al!

- Al!
- Rusty's got her.

Where?
At his place.

Go back. Go the other way
at the intersection.
Hurry up!

[ Tires Squealing ]

Hey, you ever see that movie
called The Best Years of Our Lives?

Must not have hit
Tokyo yet, huh?

Well, see, there's this guy
in the picture, an American,
and he goes overseas.

And he comes back
after he gets both of his arms
blown off.

Cut off at the elbows.

Hey.

I'm that guy.

I spent four years
rotting away in the Pacific,

when I should have been here
playing ball.

You see, I had an arm.

Yankees wanted me.
The Orioles, the Indians.
They all wanted me.

I had a curve, a sinker.

Fastball that would
vanish across the plate.

[ Sighs ]

But, you see, I came back.

And they were gone.

Just like one of you Japs
cut it off.

You know what it's like
to lose an arm?

Hey, where you going?
[ Struggling ]

Come on.

[ Machiko ]
Charlie!

Stay inside.

- [ Groans ]
- [ Chuckles ]

[ Thunder ]

Come here! Come on!

Sam! Sam!
Machiko's been hurt!

[ Glass Breaking ]

I think she might be dying!
Sam, hurry up!

Is she all right?

Yeah, I think so. Uh--

We won't be sure
for a couple more hours.

We've been praying
for her.

Have you?

I'm a Christian.

Then show it.

Walk into that room
and let Machiko know that you care
whether she lives or dies.

I can't.
Why not?

I won't do for her
what I couldn't do for Eileen.

I wanted to forgive her.

My baby.
Everybody snickering.

I forgave her in my heart, Charlie,

but I just...

couldn't get myself
to say it to her face.

And when I did,
it was too late.

They brought her here
after the accident,

to this room.

[ Mouthing Words ]

I told her that I didn't care
what other folks thought.

That she was my baby
and I was gonna love her
no matter what.

She didn't hear me.

Machiko can hear you, Mom.

I can't do for her
what I couldn't do for Eileen.

Some people
can never forgive.

Not even themselves.

# # [ Organ ]

# # ["Wedding March"]

Oh, boy.

You know, uh,
I just love weddings.

And maybe it's because
I've done it... five times.

Al, I'm sweating here.
You didn't the first time.

I'm married?
Just kidding.
[ Chuckles ]

Al, look. If I don't leap
out of here soon, I'm gonna
get married in the eyes of--

Don't worry about it.
You'll leap out of here
as soon as Lenore comes around.

You think she ever will?
Of course.
They always do.

Uh, after the birth
of the first kid.

I'm sorry, Charlie.
I had hoped your mama-san
would come.

Me too.
[ Reverend ]
Turn and face me, please.

Dearly beloved,
we are gathered together...

to join this man
and this woman
in holy matrimony.

[ Door Opens ]
[ Birds Chirping ]

Sayonara, Sam.
