What color should I Make the hair, uncle nick?

Any color, andy.

Let's see, green and purple

Are good colors for hair.

Yeah, they're fabulous.

Purple.

No, no, no. Andy, andy.

Andy, you don't want To draw someone

With purple hair.

Why not?

Because normal people Do not have purple hair.

Aside from your family,

Everybody I know Has got purple hair.

I repeat...

Normal people do Not have purple hair.

What does that got to Do with anything anyway?

You know, an artist sees colors

That nobody else can see.

That's right. Everybody Gives off a different color.

They're called auras,

And they represent The spirit of that person.

Is that so?

I mean, nick, for Instance, is a fiery red.

And andy is a Bright brilliant blue.

And you're...

You're sort of...

You don't have a color, alex.

Look, this is a simple

Republican heroes coloring book.

Now, the only colors That should be used

For hair in this book

Are brown, black, red, blond,

And bald.

All right, andy, humor him.

Make the hair blond,

But put it in a mohawk.

No, no, no, no, wait a Minute, wait a minute.

You're not giving Ronald reagan a mohawk.

You're right. He's In enough trouble.

Ok, time for bed.

Hey, come on. I'll Take you up, huh?

All right, I'll be up In a couple minutes

To make sure your Pajamas match. Kiss.

Thank you.

Bye.

Good night, mallory.

Good night, andy.

Ugh. These nights mom And dad go out are tough.

I think it's sweet.

It's nice for them to get out.

You know, once a Week meeting downtown

For dinner or a movie, Just the two of them.

It's the kind of thing That keeps them so close.

I'm not saying you're Not entitled to an opinion.

I'm just saying that I have to question

The depth of anyone who Doesn't like that movie.

That's all.

I see.

What movie did you go to?

out of africa.

You liked it, mom?

Oh, oh, it was beautiful.

I laughed. I cried.

I was transported to Another time and place.

Dad?

Remember uncle eddie's slides

Of his trip to africa?

Sure.

Same thing.

Except instead of uncle Eddie and aunt rhoda,

This had robert redford And meryl streep.

I'm so sick of you putting Down meryl streep.

I'm sick of you putting Down aunt rhoda.

Ok, look, before this Gets entirely out of hand,

Let's not forget the films That we have both loved

Over the years.

Good idea.

Or whatever it is he does.

I saved the other application.

It's upstairs on my bureau.

I'll get it.

Jen...

Mom, I don't think it's Such a good idea if I enter.

I don't want to pressure You into anything,

But I've just seen you Come so far this year,

You know, you've Just grown so much.

Why don't you take a chance?

You know, just take a risk.

This is crazy.

I'm not going to win, mom.

I'm not good at these Kinds of competitions.

It's easy to sit On the sidelines

And not take a chance.

You know, you're safe There. You won't get hurt.

But if you do that,

You'll never know How good you could be.

You know, I do have this Idea for a line of clothing

For women in the business world.

It sounds interesting.

Oh, I don't know, mom.

Alex will laugh at me.

He's not going to laugh at you.

He'll respect you For taking a chance.

Alex, guess what.

I'm thinking of applying For the wks scholarship.

I'm sorry.

Hey, mom, where's mal?

Upstairs working on Her fashion project.

She's really going Through with this thing huh?

Yes, she is.

And it took a lot of courage for Her to enter this competition, too.

You know, I think she Deserves our support.

She is your sister.

Yeah, well, that may be true

From a straight, Genetic viewpoint,

But I've had to put a lid

On all the warm, Brotherly feelings

That would otherwise Show through.

That must be a struggle for you.

Mallory and I Are in competition.

The moment she entered this,

She ceased to be my Sister and became my rival.

We are technically at war.

So really, nothing's changed.

Hi, alex.

Hey... Hey, mal.

Excuse me, mal. I'm Working on my project here.

We are in competition.

I don't think it's right for You to be snooping around.

Jen, come over here And look at these things.

I can't believe how great My designs are coming out.

Let me see.

I mean, look at this sleeve.

Ooh.

Which do you like Better, this or this?

Oh, definitely this one.

Ok. Great.

Step up here.

And I'll show you what It's going to look like.

You know, mallory, as we Speak, the other applicants

Are working on their projects.

There are computer science Students creating software,

Biology students Discovering enzymes,

Brilliant economics wizards Completely restructuring

This country's monetary system.

Do you really expect to triumph

Over that kind of competition

Simply by draping a Blanket over jennifer?

Nobody asked you, alex.

All right. Ok. Hey, sorry.

Just trying to brace you

For the huge and Inevitable disappointment

That's coming your way.

I'll tell you something, alex.

For 19 years, I've watched You win everything

With no hope of Competing with you.

It would be easy for me to say,

"Forget it, mallory. You'll Always be second-rate."

But I refuse to do that.

I have decided that no Matter what you say,

I'm going to keep trying.

'cause if I don't, I may as well Just roll over and play dead.

Good going, alex.

I hope you're real Proud of yourself.

You just made mallory Feel completely worthless.

I don't even want to be In the same room with you.

Could you unpin me, please?

Ok, alex, we better get going.

The interview starts In half an hour.

Yeah, all right, dad.

Just going over some Last-minute notes here.

"Thank you. Thank you.

"You are too kind.

Please stop."

All right. I'm ready.

I'll just put These in the u-haul

With your other Books and charts.

Oh, dad, did you get That box of 3-d glasses?

Right here.

Good stuff.

Oh, hey, mal.

Is all that stuff for Your presentation?

Uh, yeah.

You want some help?

No. Thanks.

Are you sure?

Yes. I can handle it Perfectly well on my own.

Ah! Ok, look...

It's fine, alex. Everything's Under control.

Did you make this?

Yes.

If I were... If I Were a woman...

And had a better figure...

I'd be clamoring after this.

I tried to design A line of clothing

For the working woman.

'cause women have a hard Time being taken seriously

In the business world.

Women not being taken Seriously? God knows why.

So I designed a line of clothing

That women can Wear in a man's world

Without hiding the Fact that she's a woman.

This is great.

You, uh, you saw a Demand in the market

And you set out to fill it.

That is good business.

Hey, these sketches Aren't bad, either...

Attractive, professional.

Thanks, alex.

Although you could have shown

A little more leg on this one.

I'm kidding. I'm kidding. These are great.

Thanks.

I'm sure your presentation Is really great, too.

Yeah, it is. You Want to hear it?

No.

Good luck, alex.

Yeah.

Good luck to you, mal.

Ahh, I just popped in to see If you had your interview yet?

No.

I'm sure you'll do great.

Where's alex?

Ha ha ha ha!

Ahh.

Well, uh, stop by my Office when you're done

And you can tell Me all about it.

Ok.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Ha ha ha ha!

Bravo! Bravo!

Bravo!

You're too kind.

Please stop.

Ha ha ha ha!

Thanks.

Your presentation Was amazing, alex,

And the effects were incredible.

When that dollar bill started Spinning out towards me,

I jumped out of my seat.

Mallory?

What?

We're ready for you.

Oh.

Hey, come on, mal. You're next.

All right.

Oh, hey, mal?

Knock 'em dead.

Thanks.

Mallory, we all Found your application

Very interesting.

Thank you.

And we're looking forward To your oral presentation.

You may begin.

Well, a lot of people Think fashion is silly,

But it's not.

It reflects social values, And more importantly,

Sometimes determines them.

How so?

Well, in the business world,

The, uh, traditional Man's dark suit...

Which... Sorry... Personally, I find a little boring.

Um...

Keeps it a male-dominated world

Because in order For a woman to fit in,

She has to pretend she's A man and dress like one.

Hear, hear!

And I also think if people Dressed more comfortably,

They... They could Improve their efficiency.

So, I've designed A line of clothing

For the working woman...

Comfortable, authoritative,

And yet, still feminine.

Oh! Wonderful!

If you'll refer to my Chart on demographics...

Oh! Wonderful.

And so, as you can see,

This color does more for Her complexion and mood.

Not that it's better than What you're wearing already.

No, it's much better.

Aw.

Mrs. Simpson, don't you Just feel great in this fabric?

Oh, yes!

See? That's what I've Been talking about.

Fashion really does Make a difference.

Yes. Bravo, mallory. Great.

Wonderful.

Wonderful.

Ha ha ha!

Uh, mr. Wertz.

Uh, so, what's the good word?

Your sister gave a Splendid interview, alex.

Oh, really? Really? Great. Good.

Hey, that is a Nice color on you.

Isn't it, though?

Your sister suggested it.

I guessed that.

She's wonderful.

She's still in there chatting With some of the panel.

Oh, good. Yeah.

Uh, so, how many... How many applicants

Do you have left to interview?

None. You two Were the last ones.

Ah, so you'll be awarding

That scholarship Pretty soon, huh?

Well, we haven't Voted officially yet...

Yeah, but you know, right?

Well...

I am so excited I could burst.

I got to go tell Dad. I'll be right back.

I thought she was Just wonderful.

Uh, mr. Wertz.

With all due respect, sir,

I'm withdrawing From the competition.

But that means...

Yeah. Yeah, I know What it means.

I wouldn't do That if I were you.

Why not?

It's not your man.

Yo, alex.

Alex, how did your interview go?

Oh, fine, fine.

Where's mallory?

She got home about an hour ago.

Where have you been?

I was out walking.

Do you think you won?

I don't know. Hard to tell.

It's just another scholarship.

Why is winning always so Important to you people?

Here it is.

It says wks right On the envelope.

Thanks, alex.

Elyse, I think we have some Champagne in the basement.

Why don't we go get it?

Ok. Come on, guys. Come on.

Well.

This is the moment You've been waiting for.

Let me have it.

Oh, come on, mal.

Don't hold back.

Let's see some gloating.

You know, I've waited all My life for this moment.

I imagined it so Many different ways.

That day, far in the future,

When I'm in the spotlight

And you're in the shadow.

I always thought this moment

Would somehow occur in new york.

You'd be waiting for Me at some small cafe.

And I'd come running In breathless

And I'd say, "Look, alex,

My designs are on The cover of vogue."

And you'd smile, stammer Out congratulations.

But I'd know, that Underneath that toupee...

You were... You Were green with envy

And completely bald.

We'd engage in some small talk,

Exchange some pleasantries.

You'd try to interest me

In some shoddy land deal.

I'd politely decline,

Saying, "No, I have To head uptown.

Business, you know."

And I'd turn to sign Someone's autograph, right,

And I'd see someone Walk up to you

And say, "Aren't you Mallory keaton's brother?

You must be so proud."

So I'd come back,

And, I'd... I'd, you know...

Shove a few bucks In your pocket.

And I'd ruffle my fingers Through your hair,

And say good-bye.

Only after I'm halfway uptown

Do I realize that

I've got your Toupee in my purse.

That's quite a rich fantasy life

You got there, mal.

And you're entitled To the cover of vogue,

But, uh... Why do I have to be bald?

You know, now that I'm here,

Now that I've won,

I don't feel like gloating.

I mean, I'm excited for me,

But I feel bad for you.

I know how much these Things mean to you.

And I'm sorry you lost.

Thanks, mal.

But don't feel bad for me.

Ok?

Because I'm happy.

I'm happy for you.

You know, and maybe... Maybe this could be the start

Of a new mallory keaton.

One who pushes herself.

One who strives.

One who reaches For the brass ring

And gets it.

And when they Ask me how it feels

To be mallory keaton's brother,

I'm going to say, "Damn proud."

Thanks, alex.

Whoa. Easy, easy.

Here I am!

Yeah!

Yeah! Yay!

Celebration's in The dining room, alex.

You coming in?

Yeah, in a second, dad.

It's terrific about Mallory, isn't it?

Yeah.

Yeah, it sure is.

She really seems excited.

You know, I always Knew she had it in her.

Yeah, she, uh, she sure did.

Mr. Wertz told me what you did.

What? I don't know what You're talking about.

That you stepped down So mallory could win.

Oh, that.

Oh, yeah.

It was no big deal.

It was a wonderful Thing that you did.

You acted in an incredibly Compassionate and generous fashion.

You didn't think Of yourself at all.

Well, I figure in life

You should try everything once.

Thanks, dad.

You gave her a great gift.

Dad...

Can I borrow 2,500 bucks?

Man: sit, ubu, sit. Good dog.
