Adult Dean: I'm not saying
that kids in the 1960s

were braver
than the kids today,

but there wasn't much
that scared us.

Bill: Dean!
Get in here right now!

Except the sound of
an angry 1960s father.

I don't even know what I did,
but I knew it was bad,

because Daddy had his
"I'm serious" leg cross

and Mama had her
"Please don't hit him

too hard, Bill" face on.

You mind telling me
what's going on

with this report card
I just opened?

I am so sorry
I got a "C" in PE.

I don't care
about the "C" in PE.

I'm glad they finally put you
on the boys' teams.

I'm mad about
your music grade.

But I got an "A" in music.
Exactly.

I've heard you practice.
No way you're an "A" student.

Bill, go easy on him.

That was me going easy.

Only my dad would find a way

to be mad about
the highest possible grade.

I'm going down to
that school tomorrow

to speak with
this music teacher.

Ooh, maybe
he'll show up

right when you're being stuffed
into a locker.

[ Laughs ]
Shut up, Kim.

But don't come between
second and third period.

No reason.

[ Scoffs ] Well, I'm just happy
Dean's in trouble for once

and not me.

Well, we also got
the phone bill in,

and who on God's green Earth
do you know in Mobile

at 10:00 at night?

Huh?

Hey, Dean,
come check this out.

Whoa.
[ All chuckle ]

When Cory turns 14
next month,

he's gonna get
his motorcycle license.

So your parents are gonna
let you get a motorcycle?

Well, no, but all I need
is the license to show girls.

Man, this makes me want
to watch "Easy Rider" again.

I know.
Yeah.

You guys have seen
"Easy Rider"?

Of course we have.

It's the coolest movie
of the year.

But I mean, how?

It's rated "R".
My dad took me.

They actually let me
in by myself because
of my "moo-stache."

Yeah, still can't see it.

Oh, well, you know,
that's cool.

My parents are taking me
this weekend.

Even said I could have
two boxes of candy.

No big deal.
You're gonna love it, Dean.

It has everything.

Acid trips, violence,

Excuse me,
Mr. Van Der Kamp?

I'm Dean Williams'
father.

Oh, please, please,
call me Alan.

How can I help you?

I'd like to talk to you
about his grade in music class.

I'm confused.
I-I think I gave Dean an "A."

Yes, and I think we both
can agree

he doesn't deserve that
and his grade should be lowered.

Okay.
This is a first.

I don't mean
any disrespect.

I just want Dean
to be challenged more.

I have higher expectations
for him.

I'm actually a professional
musician myself.

I know.

I must have seen you play
at Delwood's a dozen times.

You know about Delwood's?

I wouldn't be much
of a music teacher

if I didn't know the jazz club
that produced Scooty Carmichael.

You know about Scooty?

They say he invented 6/7 time
at Delwood's.

[ Laughs ]
I know all the Scooty legends.

I'm just surprised
that you do.

Because I'm so tall?

Yeah,
something like that.

[ Laughter ]

Look, uh, if you're looking
to see Dean more challenged,

I'm happy to stay
after school with him

a couple of days a week.

He's got real talent.

I think
that's a great idea.

Unless
we're past the point

where I can bribe you
to lower his grade.

Uh, yeah, that ship has sailed,
my brother.

were offensive.

...I brought

Wow. Scooty live

The Noke, baby.

I never thought I'd see
one of these in real life.

Phew.

You got a minute

Well, I'm supposed to get
Dean back for dinner,

but I could probably
listen to a bit.

All right. [ Laughs ]

You know, a lot of people
don't know this,

but Scooty played
more than just sax.

Uh-oh, the one thing we knew
in our family

was that when Daddy
started talking about jazz,

we were in for a long one.

Legend has it,
he was the only person

God, help me.

Hi, it's a pleasure
to meet you.

I'm Dean's music teacher,
Alan Van Der Kamp.

Bill: Can you believe
he has an original

Scooty Carmichael
from '52?

I cannot.

Uh, I'm going to take Dean home

as good at embarrassing you

in front of your friends
as moms were.

Oh, yeah, just how
he starts it, right?

Well, well, well.

Look who's finally back
from talking jazz

with his new friend.

I'll admit,
I am surprised

I enjoyed talking to him
as much as I did.

He's a lot cooler
than I thought,

seeing he's a...teacher.

Well, he seems to be
a great guy for a...teacher.

You'll get to know him
better this weekend.

He invited us
to a dinner party.

Oh, darn it,
I'm busy that night.

I didn't even tell you
the date yet.
[ Sighs ]

What's so bad about going
to a dinner party with me?

Sorry, I just don't want
to get stuck

talking about improvisation
and syncopation all night.

Wow, after all the corporate
picnics I've been to with you?

I had to do a damn three-legged
race with Mr. Davidson.

He secretly liked winning,

Fine.

You've done a lot for me,

Um, anyway, I need you

I'm the only one of my friends
who hasn't seen it yet.

I'll do your basket

Deal.

Seriously?
Sure.

I wanted to see it anyway.

Wait, so,
you'll take me,

even though it has graphic
violence, nudity, and drug use?

There's no way
I can handle all that.

[ Scoffs ]
How bad could it be?

Bruce had just come back
from the war.

His barometer for violence
was clearly off,

which worked out great for me.

Hey, Bruce,
I need the car keys.

I'm headed to a college party
tonight.

It's too late, Kim.

I already told Dean I was taking
him to the movies tonight.

What? No.
I need to go to this.

How can I know what college
I want to go to next year

Well, from what I hear,
college is about more than that.

I already been to

How about we drop Kim off
before the movie

The hat looks great.

Are you surprised you

Well, maybe at first, but once
we started talking music,

it was like talking

You're a little more used

He means White parties.

Oh, don't worry.

Radio deejay:
Come see "Easy Rider."

It's the movie
everyone's been talking about.

Now in its final weekend.

And screw that

Don't be such a baby.

didn't happen exactly that way,

but I was determined
to see this movie.

I found,
when it comes to fabric,

you cannot beat
100% polyester.

I have the cutest pattern,

the kids matching jumpsuits.

Cool.

Lillian, you and Bill should
join us in the hot tub.

Oh, it is so fun.

Oh, uh, thank you,

but unfortunately
we didn't bring any swimsuits.

Don't worry.
Neither did we!

[ Car horn honks ]

Ugh, Bruce wasn't leaving
any time soon.

If I wanted to see the movie,
I'd have to find some adult

willing to bring a kid
into a theater.

Luckily it was the '60s
when adults were still cool.

All right, all right,
come on, guys, come on.

Enough of the war stories.
I want to hear about you two.

Well, I actually just got
named the starting shortstop

for the baseball team
here.

That's great!
Hey, you always could pick it.

Hey, man, I could put in
a good word with the coach

for you
if you're interested.

Even if it would put me
on the bench

like you did
in high school.

Yeah, I think
my baseball days are over.

I heard you were wounded.
Sorry.

But it must be real nice
to be working, huh?

Yeah, I'm actually
not working much, either.

I'm still getting disability
checks from the Army.

Well, your hair sure
has gotten long.

Right.

Uh, I am never getting into
that party, Bruce.

We can leave.

Okay, Kim.

But where's Dean?

I thought he was with you.
Nah, he was.

I only took my eye off him
for one second.

At this moment, I was being
chased across the creek

by the wino
who claimed he owned it.

Dean!

Then a few minutes later,
Marvin Gaye

comes out the head
and says,

"Well, I guess there is
a mountain high enough."

Bill, I think
we should go home.

What? Why?

I think that this is
some kind of...sex party.

You have got to stop reading
Kim's Cosmopolitan magazines.

Sex party?
My goodness, Lillian.

Just be cool.

Hey, uh, you guys want to come
down to the basement?

I just had it completely
soundproofed.

'Cause I got my whole
recording studio down there.

Oh, hang on one sec.

Yeah, uh, Bill,
I'm gonna need your keys.

Oh, no. No.

This has gone on
long enough.

what's happening here.

Is everything
all right?

No, it's not.

Because this is
a key party!

For the love of God,
be cool.

No, Bill!
I read about it in Cosmo.

All the couples put their keys
into a bowl

and then they draw keys
to see who's swinging with who!

But we are not here
for your kinky games, Alan.

Uh, we just need Bill's keys
so we can move his car
