All language subtitles for Perfect Strangers s02e22 Hello Elaine.eng

That's my sister Elaine...

...when she was 6 years old.
- Oh.

Cousin, is that you?

Yeah.

Why you don't
have any hair?

Uh, well, Elaine was in a first-grade
production of Samson and Delilah.

And she'd rehearse with me
when I was asleep.

Oh.

Why is your arm in a cast?

Oh, well, we had this great
big oak tree out in our backyard.

And there were nine of us kids.
We were all 12 before we climbed it.

Except Elaine. She
climbed it when she was 8.

My parents left me to
babysit Elaine, as usual.

I was trying to do some
extra credit work for algebra.

And when I hear, "Help me, help me,"
it's Elaine stuck in the top of the tree.

She got to the top all by
herself, the little dickens.

Of course, I had
to help her down.

Of course, I fell out of the tree.

Broke my arm.
- Mm.

Never did get
the extra credit.

Who is this nice
man with the mustache?

Oh, that's Mrs.
Barr, our piano teacher.

You took piano lessons?
- Oh, we all did.

Elaine was the only one
who stuck with it.

Now little Elaine is all grown up
and about to start college.

I am so proud of her.

It's her, it's her.
- Yeah.

Oh, Noogie.
Elaine, hi.

Oh, and you must be Balki.
- Yes, yes.

Cousin Elaine,
I'm so happy to meet you.

Oh, you too. I have
heard so much about you.

Oh, Noogie, this
is a great place.

Thanks. You're the first member
of the family to see it.

And what am I,
mashed potatoes?

Okay, the second.

The first member
of the immediate family.

Well, I'm honored, Noogie.

Question.
Uh-huh.

Why do you call him Noogie?

Well...
- No, Elaine.

Elaine, no, no.
- Yes, yes.

No, no, no.
- Noogie.

No, no, don't do that.

That's a noogie, Balki.
- Oh, I see.

Oh, you had to ask.

So, Balki, I wanna hear all
about what you think of America.

Have you tried sushi yet?

No, not yet. I
don't even have a racket.

Oh, that's so cute.
Is he always this adorable?

Yeah, always.

Elaine, I'm so glad you got a chance
to visit before you start school.

Well, that's what
I'd like to talk about.

Oh, hey, I understand.

First year of college
is always the toughest.

You have to remember that
everybody is in the same boat.

No, Noogie, I'm not really
that worried about college.

Well, that's the spirit.

Is she something, or what?
- Oh.

Larry, before you pop open the champagne,
I think I ought to tell you...

...um, I've decided
to go to New York.

New York, the Big Tomato.

The Big Apple.

You're going to New
York before school?

Uh, no, instead of school.

You're not going to college?

You see, I sent a tape of my last
piano recital to a teacher in New York.

And he invited me
to come study with him.

So I figured college could wait.

College could wait?

Elaine, plans
have been made.

This is gonna throw off
your whole life's schedule.

Noogie, I'm not like you, see?
My life's not on a schedule.

It's... Right now, I just have to see
if I can make it as a professional musician.

Well, we wish
you all the best.

No, no, we don't.

I know you're a swell
piano player, but New York?

I mean, really, that's the
craziest idea you've ever had.

Wow. I really
thought you'd be on my side.

You sound just
like Mom and Dad.

If you mean Mom and Dad don't think you
should go to New York, I agree with them.

But I don't, see,
and it's my life.

Well, that's a good point,
a very good point.

Um, it's been a really long drive.
I'd like to go wash up.

Cousin, our bathroom, it's on the left.

It's very modern.
Uh-huh.

It's indoors.

Oh, I really blew that.

She won't listen to me now.

She'd rather take advice
from a total stranger.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Balki?
- What?

You have to help me save Elaine.

How I can do that?

I want you to take her out to dinner,
listen to her for a while...

...then tell her she
shouldn't go to New York.

Oh, I...

You're the family's last hope.

We're depending on you.
You can't let us down.

Is this what they call a guilt trip?
- Yes, it is.

Well, you're good at it.
- Oh, yes, I am.

Cousin, we're home.

Okay, now, you stand right there,
and I'll go get Cousin La...

No, wait, I changed my mind.
I can't do it, I can't talk to him.

But, cousin, you have to.

You have to tell him your dream
of becoming a musician...

...just like you told me.

Now, you convinced me
that you should go to New York...

...and you can convince him.

I know, but see, I tried this
afternoon, and he didn't listen.

Balki, you tell him.

Please? Oh, please, please?
- No, no, no.

Please, Balki? Please,
you tell him. Please, Balki.

Please, please.
- Please, please.

Don't send me on
another guilt trip.

Oh, hello, we're back.
Did we have a good time?

Well, we...

Well, you weren't there,
but we had a good time.

Well, you guys must have had
a lot of time to talk.

Yeah, we did.

Uh, I really needed to hear
what you had to say.

You really made a
lot of sense. Great guy.

Well, what did
you talk about?

Well, uh, Balki's gonna tell you
about that now because I'm just so tired.

Good night, guys.

Good night.

You made a lot of sense?
- Well, I should say so.

Worked everything out?
- Well, I guess.

You got her to go to college?
- Well, we've got to talk about that.

How did you do it?
What did you say to her?

Well, I just started off by letting her tell me
all her reasons for going to New York.

Good, very good.
You just let her talk.

Just let her talk.

Genius. Genius.
- Oh. Oh.

I mean it. I mean it, yeah.

Well, then what did you say?

Oh, what did I say?
- What did you say to her?

It must have been brilliant.
- Well, I know she thought so. Uh...

What did I say? Uh,
what were my exact words?

I...

I think I said, "You know, you seem
like you know what you're doing...

...and you should follow
your dream and go to New York."

Then what?

And then I said,
"Check, please."

Balki? Balki? Balki?

Elaine?

This is my fault.

You wanna put out a fire,
you don't send a pyromaniac.

More coffee?

Funny, he never asks
for a second cup of my coffee.

I think he's still pouting.

Yeah, he's one of the best.

Come on, Noogie,
you're acting childish.

Childish?
- Yeah.

I'm acting childish?

No.

I think if I were to run off
to the Yukon to pan for gold...

...that would be childish.

Or if I were to sail off to the Caribbean
in search of sunken treasure...

...that would be childish.

Oh.

Or if I were to drop
all my responsibilities...

...and run off to, say, oh,
New York to become a musician...

...that would be childish.

Oh.

Or if you were to go to the opera dressed
in nothing but Spider-Man underwear...

...now, that would be childish.

Now you do one.

I'm going for a walk.

See what I mean? He
doesn't understand.

You're upset, huh?

Oh, me, upset?

Don't be silly.

Why should I be upset just because
my best friend stabbed me in the back?

Just because he undermined
everything I was trying to do...

...to protect a
child from Helltown?

No, cousin, she have, uh, decided
she want to go to New York...

...to study with
a famous teacher of piano.

She wants to be
a concert pianist.

Her dream is to play
with Phil's Harmonica.

I can't talk about this anymore.

This conversation is over.

But, cousin, you and
your sister must talk.

No, we mustn't.
- Yes, you must.

No. I'm not going to.
- Listen.

Just one thing.
- No. Balki, I don't...

No, no, no. Absolutely not.
- Your sister has good reasons.

Stop it.

Ow. Ooh. Aah.

All right, have it your way.
- Thank you.

No, Balki.
- Now, listen up.

Your sister has good reasons
for wanting to go to New York.

Just because I can hear you
doesn't mean I'm listening.

If you're not going to talk to her, at least
you're not going to ruin her last night here.

Balki, let me go.
- Not a chance.

All right, all right,
what do you want me to do?

I want you to take us to dinner tonight.
- No.

Ooh. Aah!

All right. All
right, all right, 8:00.

And I want you to be
nice to your sister, eh?

Ooh. All right,
I'll be nice to my sister.

Now, put me down.

Now, cousin...

...you're going to have fun.
- I didn't agree to have fun.

Oh, that's it.
- All right, I'll have fun, I'll have fun.

Good.
- Fine.

Hey, thanks a lot
for taking us out to dinner.

Well, you're welcome. Uh, this
isn't exactly what I had in mind.

Balki, there's a large
scary man coming our way.

Balki.
- Leroy, my man.

It's real good to see you, man.
- Oh, get out.

Elaine.
- How are you doing, Leroy?

I want you to meet
my brother Larry.

Noogie. How you doing?

Uh, how do you
do, Mr. Leroy? Ow.

Balki, I got the best table
in the house for you tonight.

Oh, thank you.
- Follow me.

Enjoy.
- Thank you.

The first round is
on me, okay, babe?

BALKl: Thank you.
- Talk to you later.

So you two came
here last night?

You would think they'd have
a no-smoking section.

Chill out, bro,
this place is bad.

Well, really,
it was my idea.

See, I read about it in
Rolling Stone. They have great jazz.

Oh, great. Well, who
needs to go to New York?

You can throw your
life away right here.

Cousin, we came here so you could be nice
to your sister, remember?

All right. Elaine, I'm sorry.

I'm trying to be nice.
I start to say nice things...

...but these nasty things
keep coming out of my mouth.

I just don't want you to go to
New York and mess up your life.

Oh, I get it.

You don't think that I can make it
as a classical pianist, do you?

Elaine, face reality.

You may be the best
little piano player in Madison...

...but in New York, they'll
chew you up and spit you out.

But, cousin, if she can make
it there, she'll make it anywhere.

It's up to you...
- Balki, Balki, please.

How do you know I can't make it
if you haven't even heard me play?

Well, I've heard you play.

You know, the last time you heard me play,
it was Mrs. Barr's class recital...

...when I was in
the eighth grade.

Well, it can't have been that long ago.
- It was.

Listen, I have
a wonderful idea.

There's a piano.
Why don't you play?

And then we don't have to argue
about whether you hear her or not. Come.

Yeah, yeah.
- No, Elaine.

Balki. Elaine, Elaine.

Elaine, I am ordering you
to stop right now.

Hey, man, the lady
wants to play, let her play.

Yes, yes, by all means,
I think that would be delightful.

Come on, cousin,
this is gonna be fun. Shh.

I still can't believe it.

You had those people
in the palm of your hand.

It was so nice of Leroy to
offer you a job playing piano.

Lf, uh, Phil's Harmonica is anything
like Leroy's, you've got it made.

So, what do you think?
Should I go to New York?

Well, what I think isn't important.

You're gonna go, so you'll go.

Good luck.

Thank you.

I have to get an early start
in the morning, so I guess I'll just turn in.

You don't wanna get
sleepy on the road. No.

Good night, guys.
BALKl: Good night.

That's all you're
going to say to your sister?

Good luck? Don't
get sleepy on the road?

Can you afford it?

She doesn't care what I think.

Oh, ay, ay, ay.

Good luck, don't get sleepy?
Don't be ridiculous.

Now, what is that
supposed to mean?

Why do you think
Elaine come to visit us?

She didn't have to do that.

She could have gone right on
to the Big Pineapple.

So why do you
think she come here?

Because you are the most
important person in her life.

She need you to
believe in her.

I believe in her.
It's just I worry about her.

Suppose she goes off chasing
this dream of hers and it doesn't come true?

She'll be shattered.

But you are chasing your dream
to be a photographer.

And I am chasing my dream
to be an American.

What the difference is?

The difference is
she's my baby sister.

But you have to let people
chase their dreams.

Isn't it better to try and fail
than not even to try at all?

Okay, okay, you're right.

She's not a little girl anymore.

Boy, you leave home for a while
and they grow up on you.

You do believe in her?
- Yes.

You do love her?
- Yes.

Why you don't tell her?

Well, she's already gone to bed.

And she's gotta get an
early start tomorrow morning.

Balki? Balki? Balki.

Cousin Elaine? Cousin
Larry has something to tell you.

Oh, now, why did you do that?

Because you're afraid to.
- No, I'm not.

Ugh.

Well, sorry, I hope
we didn't wake you.

Oh, uh, no, I
was just packing.

Well, if you need any help,
you let me know.

I'll tell you
who needs some help.

You do.

And you do.

You have something you want to
say to her, and you ask me to do it.

You have something you want
to say to him, and you ask me to do it.

Shame on you.

If you have something here,
and you're stingy with it, with each other...

...who are you
saving it for?

Now, you stand right there
until you say what you feel.

So you're packing, huh?

Yeah, packing.

Be sure to put the
big stuff on the bottom.

I did.

You remember that oak tree thing?

Yeah.

Well, if I had known
that I was gonna break my arm...

...before I climbed up to get you...

...I would have
done it anyway.

Really?

Yeah.

Well, um...

...you know, the only reason
I climbed that tree...

...was so you'd see
what a good climber I was.

That's why I did all
that silly stuff. I just...

I just wanted
you to notice me.

Well, I noticed you.

In fact, I kind of admired you
for having the guts to take chances.

Boy, you would do anything.

You know, I always wanted
to climb that oak tree...

...but I never got up the nerve
until you got stuck up there.

That was the first time
you ever climbed the tree?

Yeah, but, uh, don't tell
the other kids, okay?

Especially Billy, because you know
he makes a big deal out of everything.

I won't.

Well, look, you're gonna do
just fine in New York.

And I'm sorry I gave you
such a rough time.

It's just that I
worry about you...

...because you were
always my favorite.

I was?

You still are.

I love you, Noogie.

I love you too, honey.

I love both of you.
