[music playing]

Boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.

What's the matter?

I'd like to get my hands on
the guy who invented the tie.

Come on, it's not that bad.

Well, if it's not that
bad then how come they

call a hanging a necktie party?

How come we got to
be so fancy just

take care of a couple of kids?

Because they're
Lance Gaylord's kids.

That's why.

Big deal movie star.

I'll tell you this is one
job I'd like to pass on.

Those kids are brats.

Hey, are you
judging people again?

Come on, you know what I mean.

No, I don't.

I mean, that's the
trouble with people.

They start out with a
preconceived notion of what

someone's going to be like.

All right, all
right, wait and see.

Now look at that
sweet, old lady.

I'd be a lot happier if we
had an assignment to help her.

It's a red light, stupid.

You going to a
fire or something?

You see what I mean
about preconceived notions?

Probably a loan car.

You're sitting in my chair.

Huh?

It's my chair.

It has my name on.

Oh, sorry.

I didn't notice.

There's so many empty chairs.

We worked hard to get to the
point of having our own chair.

I hope you will respect
that from now on.

Yes, ma'am.

Catch that action?

Yeah.

Boy, is he going to grow
up to be a doozy, huh?

Lance, I can change it
any way you want, but--

I told you what
I wanted yesterday.

And I changed it.

You call that a change?

You switched a couple of words.

I'm talking a
major rewrite here.

But I just wanted to do
what I thought you wanted.

And you were wrong.

Now, why don't you get to
work and stop wasting my time

arguing about your mistakes?

Yeah, OK.

I'll get on it right now.

I'll be in my room
when you're ready.

JONATHAN SMITH: Mr. Gaylord.

I, um, don't sign
autographs when I'm working.

No, no, we're
not here for that.

We're from the Darwin Agency.

Oh, yeah.

You weren't supposed
to be here till 12:30.

It was kind of hard to judge
the traffic on the freeway.

We'll-- we'll wait
if you'd like.

No, come on, let's
get it over with.

Nothing to shoot till
it gets written anyway.

We'll talk in here.

Sit down.

OK.

Can I see your references?

Yeah.

Mark, references.

It says here you're an ex-cop.

MARK GORDON: Yeah.

Got a license to carry a gun?

No.

We can handle just about
anything that comes along.

Well, yeah, my friend can
handle just about anything

that comes along.

I'm not paranoid, you know.

But a man in my position
can't help but worry.

I mean, it's a lot
different for my kids.

We understand that.

OK, the kids will fly in
on private jet on Friday.

All the information is
in here, the arrival

time and the address in BH.

BH?

Beverly Hills.

Oh, yeah.

Your main duties will be to
see the kids have a good time

and take them wherever
they want to go, whatever.

This is the, uh, first visit
they've had since the divorce.

So I want them to
have a good time.

Sounds easy enough.

Just keep an eye on them.

That means all the time.

I pay well, I
expect good service.

You'll get it.

Hoosh.

Hoosh.

Yes, sir.

LANCE GAYLORD: Bring
the car up to the stage.

These two will be taking it.

You got it, boss.

Hoosh will bring the limo.

You'll be driving.

Any questions?

Uh, just one, yeah.

We were wondering
about our hours.

When you're needed, you work.

Oh, you see our
boss kind of likes us

to take one day a week of rest.

Well, give me
his number, I'll--

I'll have my secretary call him.

Nah, it's all right.

He's kind of hard
to reach by phone.

We'll work any time you need us.

All right.

I have to get out there.

I'll see you Friday
at the house.

Wow, that was short and sweet.

Yeah, you'd think
he'd want to know

a little more about the people
taking care of his kids.

Well, like he said, he pays a
lot of money, expects the best.

How much longer?

You asked me that
five minutes ago.

Well, what did you say?

20 minutes.

Now or then?

What?

20 minutes now or 20
minutes five minutes ago?

Now.

I can't wait to see him.

Hello, Karen, Brock.

My name is Jonathan.

Mark and I are here
to pick you up.

Where's my father?

Well he's, real sorry,
but he had to work today.

What did you expect?

Hey, you kids hungry?

We can stop and get
something to eat.

We're fine.

Is my father at the house?

Uh, it's pretty early.

He's probably still at work.

You sure you don't want to
stop and get something to eat?

We're sure.

How long have you
worked for my father?

JONATHAN SMITH: Uh,
it's our first day.

He hired you to take
care of us, didn't he?

Uh, just kind of look after
you while he was working.

And to take us wherever
we want to go and make

sure we have a good time.

JONATHAN SMITH: Yeah,
that's about it.

My father's very good at that.

At what?

Buying friends for us.

[music playing]

You haven't
touched your dinner.

It's just the time
change, Mrs. Bowles.

It's hard to be hungry.

All right.

What time is it?

Just a little after 8:00.

Did my father say how
late he had to work?

No, he didn't.

And I'm sure he'll be here soon.

[doorbell rings]

Maybe that's him.

He's always losing his keys.

Daddy, Daddy, I missed you so.

Hi, I'm Hoosh.

Uh, you must be Karen.

Um, is my father with you?

Uh, no, he had
a meeting tonight.

He's going to be kind of late.

He's really sorry.

Oh, but looky here.

He asked me to pick up a
load of presents for ya.

I'm a pretty good toy picker
outer if I do say so myself.

Well, uh, I'll just
leave them here.

I hope you like them.

I'm sure I will.

Thank you.

You bet.

Well, I'll see you around.

Hey, come on, what
are we waiting for?

One thing I can't stand waiting
for is opening presents.

Let's get these
upstairs and play.

Will you play with us?

Well, of course I will, as
long as you promise to share

and if you'll let me
open one of the presents.

OK.

All right, let's go.

Come on, Brock.

OK, here we go.

I got it, see.

I'm winning.

I haven't had my turn yet.

Oh, that's right.

That's probably why I'm winning.

All right, go ahead.

KAREN GAYLORD: OK.

How many shots do I get?

MARK GORDON: Well,
five, the same as me.

KAREN GAYLORD: But I'm little.

MARK GORDON: I'm a grown up.

I don't have to be fair.

KAREN GAYLORD: OK.

I'm going to win you anyways.

MARK GORDON: Hey, Brock,
you gotta try this.

It's a great game.

[arrow hits]
Oh.

KAREN GAYLORD: Got it.

[chuckles]

MARK GORDON: Yeah, you sure
got that one, all right.

Take another shot.

KAREN GAYLORD: OK.

Five shots, right?

MARK GORDON: Five, go.
KAREN GAYLORD: OK.

[arrow hits]

[chuckles]

I got it.

MARK GORDON: Annie Oakley here.

Hey, Brock, Brock, stop it now.

Come on.
Stop it.

That's enough now.
Come on.

I hate the toys!

I don't want them.

I don't want any of them!

[music playing]

Mr. Gaylord.

Oh, you didn't
to have to stay.

Mrs. Bowles could
watch the children.

I wasn't sure.

The kids get their toys?

Yeah, they got them.

I think they were more
anxious to see you.

Well, that's the, uh,
nature of the business.

It's not 9:00 to 5:00.

They'll be here a month.

There's plenty of time.

That's true.

The children are asleep.

LANCE GAYLORD: OK, be
here tomorrow at 9:00.

You can take the children
somewhere for the day.

Tomorrow is Saturday.

I'm well aware
of what day it is.

I-- I just thought
you might want to spend

Saturday with your kids.

I spend Saturdays
in the cutting room.

Like I told you, it's
not 9:00 to 5:00.

We'll be here at 9:00.

Brock.

Brock.

You should have
seen that kid tonight.

I mean, he just went nuts.

Can you blame him?

Nah, I don't blame the kid.

I just don't
understand the father.

What does he do?

Spend all of his time
with his friends?

I'm not so sure he
lets himself have any.

What are you talking about?

In his position, maybe
it's hard to have a friend.

Maybe he's afraid
people only want

to be his friend
because he's a celebrity

and he's got lots of money.

Nah, I don't buy that.

I mean, fame and money
shouldn't change anybody.

Can you pull over to
that market up there?

I'm starving.

That food tonight was a
little too fancy for me.

OK.

I'll be right back.

Hey, Jack.

Yeah?

I got a gun.

I want your cash now.

Are you kidding?

I'm counting on my fingers
to pay for these cold cuts.

Don't give me that.

You got driven up
here in a limo, man.

I'm telling you, I
want your bucks now.

Hey, friend, can I help you?

Don't you move, man.

Oh, come on.

You're not going to shoot me.
- No, do what he says, Jonathan.

You can see he's a junkie.

He'll kill ya?

He'll what?

Oh, yeah.

Now come on, you need help.

Just give me the gun.

Man, I told you not to move.

Give me the gun.

I warned you, man!

That's a no-no.

What the hell
is going on here?

Hold it.

Don't shoot!

POLICE: Drop it.

All right, spread 'em.

He's a junkie, all right.

Where are those two guys?

I don't know.

They must have run out.

They had to have
been scared to death.

Yeah.

OK, let's go.

It was incredible!

I shot the guy, and
he caught the bullet

with his own two fingers.

And he said it was a no-no.

I am never doing drugs again.

Whoa.

You all right?

I can't wait to get back
to driving my old car.

[music playing]

Mrs. Bowles.

Mrs. Bowles.

Yes, sir?

Would you give me a cup of
coffee to take in the car?

I'm late.
- Yes, sir.

Hey, you two.

How about a hug?

Hi, Daddy.

Hi, darling.

Look at the size of you.

How could you grow so
much, so soon, huh?

I missed you.

I missed you too.

Hey, my boy.

What am I, [inaudible]
Where's my hug, huh?

Hi ya.

Hey, you've done your
share of growing too, hmm?

Yeah, I guess so.

I'm, uh, sorry I
missed you last night.

It couldn't be helped.

Did you like the toys?

Uh, yes, we played
with all of them.

Good.

Where are you going?

I've got to get some
cutting done today.

On a tight schedule.

But if I get it all
done today, we'll

have all day tomorrow together.

Couldn't we go
to work with you?

We'd be quiet.

Oh, sugar, when I'm working,
I don't like anybody around.

You understand?

We wouldn't say a word.

Karen, I'm late already.

Now, Jonathan and Mark
will be here at 9:00.

You'll have more fun with them.

They're nice to
you, aren't they?

Yeah.

Just, uh, tell them
what you want to do.

And, uh, here, get
yourselves a little surprise.

I got to run.

I'll see you later.

Bye.

Here you are.

Thank you.

If I get any important calls,
I'll be in cutting room 23.

[music playing]

I told you. son, I have to go.

But you promised.

You promised you'd stay.

I know I did.

But I had no choice.

I'm the sheriff and
I have a job to do.

Then let me go with you.

I can't do that.

You lied to me.

You lied to me.

I hate you!

I hate you!

Hold it there, Phil.

- Mm-hmm.
- Run that back.

How far?

Just where the boy
starts to back up.

I want to see if we can't
intercut that with my reaction.

Oh, the kid's real--
real good there.

I mean, it's going to be tough
to cut away on that line.

LANCE GAYLORD: Let
me see it in reverse.

[reverse talking]

You lied to me.

You lied to me.

I hate you!

I hate you!

Mm-hmm, you're right.

He is good there.

I have to be objective
with that kid.

Still acting like a snot nose?

Ah, kid's got a head out
to here thanks to his mother.

It ought to be a rule,
you can't be a child

actor unless you're an orphan.

Let's keep going.

Got to try to get
through 10 reals today.

Oh, we'll never make that.

We've got some big problems
in reels eight and nine.

It's going to take time.

If we don't make
it, we'll work Sunday.

Let's go.

Mr. Gordon, did you see?

I went halfway.

Sure did.

Now, why don't you see if
you can go the whole way?

I can.
You just watch.

You don't want to
toss the ball around?

I'm sure.

Can't be much
fun sitting here.

Listen, anything you
want to do, I'm here.

Mr. Gordon--

No, wait a minute, it's Mark.

Well, Mark, don't
take this the wrong way,

but it's kind of hard
to have fun with people

who are paid to play with you.

Know what I mean?

Yeah, I guess I do.

Hey, come on.

I'm buckling my sandal.

Well, do it somewhere else.

That's rude.

It's my turn.

Come on, I want to go.

I was in the line first.

Hey, Brock, somebody's
picking on your sister.

What happened?

He pushed me out of my turn.

Hey, what's the idea?

You want to push, let's push.

Mother!

Wasn't that-- wasn't that
the kid with the chair?

Yeah, that's the kid.

How dare you pick on my son?

He pushed my
sister, didn't he?

He most certainly did not.

Would you like me
to call the police?

Now, that won't be
necessary, will it?

I mean, it's just a couple
of kids having an argument.

Is this your child?

No, just-- just
a friend of mine.

Well, you should keep
a better eye on him.

My son is an actor in the
middle of a very big picture.

He could have been
injured by this ruffian.

Well, I know your
son's an actor.

He's working on the new Lance
Gaylord picture, isn't he?

Yes, he is.

Thank you for recognizing him.

Oh, yeah, I saw
him on the set Friday

when I was talking
to Mr. Gaylord

about taking care of
his two children here.

These are--

Yeah, his-- his kids.

Oh, well, boys will be boys.

Tom, these are Mr.
Gaylord's children.

If we had known who
they were, I-- this

never would have happened.

I just thought--

You thought what?

TOM'S MOTHER: Well, um, I--

I just didn't know they
were Mr. Gaylord's children.

You understand?

Oh, yes, very well.

Yes, well, you all have fun.

Come, Tom.

Boy, what a phony.

That kid needs to be
taught a lesson or two.

You know, that's
my feeling exactly.

[phone rings]

Just a minute.

Turn that back.

What time is it?

6:30.

Hello?

Yeah.

What?

Oh, come on.

Are they sure?

Yeah, how bad?

I don't give a damn about that.

How bad has he got them?

Can it be photographed?

Can we cover it with--

yeah, yeah.

No, I can't shut down.

We'll have to recast.

Yeah, tomorrow.

Tell Julie in casting.

Start as early as she
can in the morning.

I know it's a Sunday.

We are shooting Monday.

Mm-hmm, goodbye.

Phil, go back to reel one.

Let's see what we can
save without the kid.

What are you talking about?

Sweet little Tom
has got chicken pox.

My God.

Mark.

Oh, sorry.

My-- my-- you know,
in Texas they give

the death penalty by injection?

This guy gets the death
penalty and his attorney

gets him out of it
because the injection

is not approved by the
Federal Drug Administration.

I mean, what are
they worried about?

Side effects?

You all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

You've been awful quiet.

I was just thinking.

What about?

About those kids, about
how we can get their father

to spend more time with them.

Oh, well, I don't want to
sound like you're beating

a dead horse, but I
mean, all that man thinks

about himself and his business.

He's got all the
bucks in the world.

Why doesn't he just
relax and spend

some time with his children?

I don't know.

Maybe he doesn't know how.

You don't really believe that.

Hey, would an
angel lie to you?

No, I don't think
you would lie.

I don't know what you think
you accomplished yesterday.

You gave that kid
chicken pox, didn't you?

No, I didn't.

It was just a suggestion.

And the boss took it?

Well, apparently the
kid's got chicken pox.

So what did you accomplish?

I mean, now their father's
got to work on Sunday.

What did you accomplish?

Oh, if the mountain
won't come to Muhammad,

Muhammad must go
to the mountain.

What does that mean?

It means after we
pick up the kids,

we're going to take
them to the studio.

[music playing]

My father's not
going to like this.

He doesn't want us here
while he's working.

Well, you don't have much
choice if you want to see him.

He's always working.

It's all he cares about.

Nah, maybe it's because
it's all he's ever known.

He started working when
he was 10 years old.

He would never know what
it was like to be a kid.

But he doesn't have to
work all the time now.

He's got plenty of money.

I know that.

We've got to get him to know it.

BROCK GAYLORD: Good luck.

[chatter]

Danny, are you ready?

Yes, Miss Cohen.

You want to come on in?

Uh, excuse me.

Uh, here's the script.

The scenes we'll be reading
are page 32 and 74, OK.

We were just wondering
where Lance Gaylord was.

Mr. Gaylord will be
here when I'm finished

reading with all the boys.

What's your name, son?

Brock.

All right, Brock, why don't
you just have a look at it,

and it'll be about half an hour.

JONATHAN SMITH: Uh, M--

Miss Cohen-- hey, what do
you think of them apples?

They think he's an actor.

Come on, let's go.

We shouldn't have
come here anyway.

You know what?

I think you ought to
read for that part.

What for?

I'm not an actor.

Well, neither was your father
until he got his first job.

He was about your age too.

Come on, that's being silly.

If you're scared,
that's one thing.

I'm not scared.

I think your father
would get a kick out of it.

That's because you
don't know my father.

Well, you know what?

That makes two of
us, doesn't it?

Now, come on, what
do you have to lose?

I mean, the worst
thing that can happen

is you could end up spending
some time with your father.

That's what you want, isn't it?

But I'm not an actor.

Oh, you're going to
tell me you never fibbed

to get out of being punished?

You never stood in front of
your folks with those big tears

running down your cheeks,
saying, I didn't do it,

believe me, honest.

You never did that?

Sure I did.

I did it with my
mom lots of times.

Did she believe you?

Yeah.

Then you're an actor.

Come on, give it a try.

Come on, what do you say?

All right, but
it's a waste of time.

All right, let's take
a look at those scenes.

Now, we can save
all this footage.

We'll just shoot the
reverses on the kid.

- It'll save a lot of bucks.
- Yeah.

Lance.

Mm-hmm, how did
the readings go?

Well, I thought we hit a
dry hole until the last kid.

He's a knockout.

What did Harry say?

He loves him.

The kid was nervous at first,
but then Harry gave him

a few directions, and bingo.

I think he's a natural.

Well, we'll go over
there and read him.

OK.

Phil, pull the shots of
the kid and slug it out.

- Right.
- I'll be back.

I hope the kid's good.

You're not alone.

This is it.

They're coming down the hall.

Right, hold the script
up in front of your face

so he won't see us.

He's waiting in here.

Brock, this is Mr. Gaylord.

Is this some kind of joke?

What?

That's my son.

What are you doing here?

We just came here to see you.

But they thought I was an actor.

It-- it was my
idea, Mr. Gaylord.

I thought the boy might
have some fun with it.

I hired you to keep
an eye on the children,

not be their agent.

Well, I know that.

Then I advise you to
get on with your work.

But he's so good, Lance.

You really should hear him read.

Miss Cohen, stay out of it.

Brock, I'll see you at home.

I said, I'll see you at home.

We'll shoot around
the boy tomorrow.

Get it cast.

What you doing?

Just reading.

Want to go to the movies?

Mark will take us.

Nah, you go ahead.

I don't want to
go without you.

I did good today.

He should have let
me do it for him.

I know.

You know why he
wouldn't let me?

Because he was afraid he'd
have to spend time with me.

He doesn't want us here.

That's not true.

Yes, it is.

He hasn't spent five minutes
with us since we've been here.

It's not his fault.
That boy has chickenpox.

It's just another
excuse to be away.

He doesn't love us.

Don't say that.

Why not?

It's true.

I don't know him and
he doesn't know me.

I wish we had never come here.

I hate him.

Brock!

Go on, go to the movies.

Maybe you can find
one our father's in.

That's the only way
you'll get to see him.

Go on, go!

[music playing]

I'm sorry about what happened.

It wasn't your fault. I
should have known better.

Hey, did you finished reading
that whole thing already?

Yeah.

How was it?

It's all right.

I kind of like that
scene you were studying,

the one where the boy runs away.

Yeah, that's what I
feel like doing right now.

You should tell your
father how you feel.

A lot of good it would do.

You don't know
unless you try it.

I can't talk to him.

Why not?

Because it's hard to explain.

Well, try.

I don't know.

It's ever since I can remember.

Everybody's always
made a fuss over him.

The kids were always saying
how lucky I was to have

Lance Gaylord for a dad.

I grew up thinking he
was some kind of god.

And it's hard to talk to a god.

Oh, I don't know about that.

He just doesn't care about me.

All he can think
about is his job.

It's like the father
in the script.

Well, they got together
in the end, didn't they?

Sure, after the boy runs away.

JONATHAN SMITH: Then they
must have talked it out then.

Yeah.

Good.

I always like a happy ending.

Hey, we're going
to take in a movie.

You coming?

No, thanks.

OK.

Mr. Smith?

Yeah.

I wish I could talk to my
father the way I do to you.

So do I, son.

Hey, how did the father
find the boy in the end?

Oh, he didn't run far off.

He was hiding in town.

Oh, he wanted
him to fight him?

Sure, he did.

You know, it sounds to me
like that part was made for you.

I'll see you later.

[music playing]

Where are the kids?

Karen is upstairs.

Where's Brock?

He's gone.

What do you mean he's gone?

We took Karen to the movies
today, and when we got back,

he was gone.

I told you to keep an eye on
those children every minute.

He was upset.
He didn't want to come with us.

Then you should
have stayed with him.

If anything's happened to
my son, you're going to pay.

Who are you calling?

The police.

Who do you think?

What is the matter
with this phone?

He's all right.

I think I know where is.

What do you mean, you know?

I found this in the yard.

It's the script
he was rehearsing.

I think he's run away.

Run away?

That's right.

Why don't we take a ride?

My son better be all right.

Your son will
be very surprised

to hear that you cared.

What are you talking about?

If you would stop
worrying about being

successful for five
minutes, you would

know what I'm talking about.

You broke his heart today.

Oh, come on.

That wouldn't have
happened if it

wasn't for you filling
his head with ideas

about being a big star.

You think he wanted
that part for the glory?

He wanted that part because he
wanted to be with his father.

You're crazy.

I feel very sorry
for you, Mr. Gaylord.

You're a hero to
strangers, and a stranger

to your own children.

[music playing]

Brock?

Brock?

Brock?

Are you in here?

How can you be so
sure he's here?

Because I think I know
him better than you do.

[thud]

Brock?

Brock, are you there?

Thank God you're all right.

You had me scared half to death.

What did you run off for?

Because all you care about
is being the sheriff, Pa.

Brock, what are
you talking about?

The script.

Do the lines from the script.

You're talking nonsense, son.

Come on home now,
and we'll talk.

I don't know how
to talk to you.

What do you mean?

I mean, we've never done it.

We've never really talked.

I'm afraid to tell
you how I feel.

That's silly.

There's no reason
to be afraid.

Please help me then.

How, son?

Do the lines.

Do 'em!

I've been looking
all over for you, boy.

What are you doing in here?

I work here, Pa.

What are you talking about?

You get on home right
now, you hear me?

I hear you plain,
but I'm not going.

You'll do as I say.

No, I won't, not anymore.

You want to wear that badge
and get yourself killed,

you go ahead.

But I'm not going to be
there to see you die.

I love you, Pa.

That's why can't--

I can't go to sleep
every night, wondering

if I'll see you
the next morning,

or the next week, or never.

Go do what you have to, Pa.

But I'm not going to be
any part of it, no more.

Goodbye, Pa.

What can I do, Brock?

How can I change?

I'm really so tired
of playing this part.

I've-- I've been this hero,
this symbol for so long, I--

I guess I'm afraid to have
anybody really know me,

even my own son that I love.

Are you crying, Dad?

You're crying.

It's all right, Dad.

It's all right.

[music playing]

Welcome to the
real world, Lance.

Have a good lunch, girls.

Can I help you?

Yeah, Mr. Gaylord
was going to leave

a pass for Gordon and Smith.

Uh, let's see, Mr. Gaylord.

I don't see your
names down here.

Are you looking
under Lance Gaylord?

GUARD: Yeah.

Try looking under
Brock Gaylord.

Oh yeah, yeah,
drive straight ahead.

They're on the Western Street.

Thank you very much.

GUARD: Thank you.

All right.

Yeah!

Let's see you top that.

Come on, Brock.

You can do it.

Yeah!

I don't mind you
stealing a scene,

but don't you go beating
the hero at his own game.

I saw that.

Figured you would.

We just wanted to say goodbye.

I thought you were going to
go fishing with us tomorrow.

It's only a half day boat.

Ah, we'd like to,
but we got another job.

Come on, I'll--

I'll cover another day's pay.

That's very kind of you, but
it wouldn't be fair to my boss.

You must have quite a boss.

I'd like to meet him someday.

I'm sure you will.

It's goodbye, guys.

Thank you, Mr. Smith.

Yeah.

I'll see you in the movies, huh.

OK.

Bye bye.

Lance, we're losing the light.

There's no way we'll
finish tonight.

We'll pick up in the huh?

I know it's Saturday and--

Hold it, Harry,
we're fishing tomorrow.

You'll have to
carry everybody if you

want to take tomorrow off.

Then we'll carry everybody.

I promised my kid.

HARRY: You got it.

Gentlemen, that's a wrap.
