(marching band drumming)

Sit down.

(drumming continues)

All right, Stern,
you're next.

(drumming continues)

"Leg cramps, tension,
headaches, ingrown toenail,

prickly heat,
and occasional bedwetting."

Bedwetting, Stern?

Yes, sir.

Only when
I'm nervous, sir.

Uh-huh.

Well, I'll tell
you what, Stern.

When you
get to basic training,

you give this little note
to the supply sergeant.

Supply sergeant?

That's right.

That's an eight-week
supply of rubber sheets.

Oh.

(chuckles)

Wait there.

They asked to
see you together.

What are they, a couple
of Siamese twins?

No, but I get the feeling

that they're
joined together

from time to time.

Well, send them in.

Shut the door.

Devlin?

Yes, sir.

Is that a check mark?

Well, that-- that's
kind of hard to say, sir.

It looks more like
a smudge to me.

Well, it's
your application, boy.

What are you trying
to say?

Are you or aren't you?

'Cause if you are,

you're gonna have to

sign a statement
verifying it.

Am I or aren't I
what, sir?

Well, you can read,
can't you?

Oh, yes, sir.

Oh.

Well, see, it doesn't say,
"Am I or aren't I."

The way that
it's worded is,

"Have you ever had a-- "

I know what it says.

What's your answer?

Well, that depends on

how you would define
an "experience."

And what's
your problem, boy?

I have no problem, sir.

Well, it says here
that you, uh,

want to be with Devlin

throughout your entire
tour of duty.

Yes, sir,
that's correct.

Well, what do you think we're
running here, a boys' camp?

I understand perfectly,
sir.

It's just that,
well, Danny and I

have been together
ever since grade school

and-- and--

Well, if we couldn't
remain together,

I'd just die.

I just don't think
I could take it, sir.

You don't understand
how it is.

Hey, let's can
the BS, all right?

Now, do you boys want to
go in the Army?

Oh, yes, sir.
Yes, sir.

Fine.

I told you

there was nothing
to worry about, Elliot.

Oh, you know
how it is.

Every time I want
something real bad,

I never get it.

Oh, I know.

Oh, but this is gonna be
so marvelous,

just living
with all those guys.

Hold it.

uh, I hope--

I hope you'll be
able to come up to,

uh, campus this fall,
uh, to see

some of the football
games, you and Mom.

SC is playing up
there this year.

(Malcolm)
That color is
yummy for you,

and it adds a very youthful
line to your figure.

Oh, do you
really think so?

Oh, I do, indeed.

Danny's very lucky
to have

such a
lovely-looking mother.

Well, you know,
as a matter of fact,

I was very young when
Danny was born.

I'm sure you were.

Evelyn, I--

I must rush.

I have to
get back to my souffle.

So nice to have met
you, Mr. DeJohn.

My pleasure.

Uh, Danny, I put
the omelet in the oven.

Please try and eat it
before it gets cold.

(laughs)

Au revoir, Mrs. Devlin.

Isn't he marvelous?

Yeah.
Isn't he?

Uh, Evelyn, I have to be
on the first tee by 11:00.

Good-bye, darling.

Good-bye, Mom.
Good-bye, Danny.

Dad.

Thanks for coming over.

I'm so glad Danny
found such a lovely place.

Karen's going to be thrilled
when she sees it.

And he has
such nice neighbors.

♪♪

Thank you,
it's very good.

Oh, honey, that
sounds fantastic.

Well, it's a lot
better than living at home,

I'll tell you that.

Do you want another
brandy?

Mm-hmm, but I'd like it
over at your place.

I'm dying to see it.

Well, you will, you know, but,
well, we just moved in,

and the place is a mess,
things all over the floor.

Oh, I wish we finally had
a place to ourselves

and I could cook and
play house with you.

Baby, just as soon as
I start school,

you'll fly
out of San Francisco

and live with me in
Palo Alto.

I know.

I wish we could get
started right now.

Well, we
could get started.

What's happening back at
your place tonight?

Not much.

Uh, let's see.

Joyce is in Denver,
Carolyn's in Chicago,

and one of them
is due back

tonight around midnight.

Well, that gives us
about enough time.

Uh, Danny,
couldn't we please

go back to your place?

I promise, I'll keep
my eyes closed

until the lights go out.

I promise
I won't see a mess.

Honey, look, it's--
It's really a bad idea.

Elliot's probably home and,
look,

you've got a flight tomorrow
morning at 9:30 anyway,

don't you?

Hmm, that's true.

But next time,

let's make some better
arrangements.

Look, I will next time.

You just have to have
patience with me.

Things have
been so frantic lately.

I don't even know what's
gonna happen next.

It's only a copy,

but it's, uh,
Michelangelo's David,

and I fell in love with it
when I first saw it.

As a matter of fact,
Craig and I thought

it would be kind of heaven
for your living room.

You know, I-- I don't
want you people

going to any
extra expenses or anything.

Oh, nonsense, Danny,

and I know exactly where
to put it.

You know, Danny,

"Home Beautiful"
wanted to do a spread,

but just the idea
sounded vulgar.

You know,
seeing the two of you

getting started like this

is reminiscent
of Malcolm and myself

when we were first
married.

Oh, yeah?

The struggle we had
in the beginning,

trying to adjust.

Well, you know what
they say.

Give a little,
take a little.

How true.

God knows, Malcolm isn't the
easiest person to live with.

High-strung, temperamental.

You've got to watch
every word you say to him.

The slightest thing is
liable to set him off

on one of his tantrums.

Jeez, I thought you two
were made for each other.

I know,

but believe me,
it hasn't been easy.

It started off as the
usual physical thing.

You know, just
a plain pick-up.

Been through it myself.

But how long can one keep
up these casual affairs?

You get
tired of cruising.

It gets so depressing
after a while.

It's just the same
old thing,

over and over again.

It leaves you feeling
so-- so--

Drained.

Exactly.

Before I met Malcolm,

I was married
to a real tramp.

I couldn't trust him
alone for a minute.

The breakup
was very messy.

I can imagine.

The anguish of trying
to explain it

to your friends,
realizing all the time

that she had probably
been intimate with them.

The utter humiliation
of it.

Well, you know what
I say.

Love them and leave them.

(quiet conversation)

Isn't that lovely?

Yeah.

It seem appropriate.

Tell me, how have
you and Danny

managed to make
a steady thing of it?

Well, we-- I guess

it was love at first
sight, I guess.

We took one look at
each other, and we knew

we were destined
for one another.

How romantic.

You never tell me
anything like that.

What do you
expect after seven years?

Omar Sharif?

Yes.

(laughs)

(knocks on door)

Hi.
Hi.

Wow, we sure had a hard time
finding this place.

Who are you guys
hiding from, the FBI?

Hi.

Mwah!

I hate to admit it,
lover boy,

but, uh, you know, you've
only been gone a few days,

and already
I'm beginning to miss

your homely little face
around the house.

How'd you find us?

Well, your roommate
invited Bunny over,

and we were out shopping,

so I decided to
come along with her.

You don't mind, do you?

Oh, no, no.

I thought I told you
to call first.

Oh, dear.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Craig, Malcolm,
this is my sister Leslie.

How do you do?

How do you do?
Hello.

Hi.

And, uh, this is Bunny over
here.

Hi.

Why don't you
just sit down?

I'm sorry, Danny,

I didn't know
you had guests.

Oh, uh, we're not guests.

You see, actually,

Craig and I
live across the courtyard.

It's just one big family.

Oh.

Well, my mom told me
all about this place,

so I just thought
I'd come around

and look for myself.

Somebody, uh,
sure is queer

for nudes around
here, aren't they?

Oh, you sure did look silly
in my dress the other night.

(giggles)

Oh, dear.

Bunny,

uh, why don't we,

uh, go upstairs and
look at the bedroom.

(Bunny)
Oh!

(giggles)

(Malcolm)
Daniel,

why didn't you tell us

that you have such
a lovely sister?

She's adorable.

In fact,
they both are.

Oh, they're all right,
if you dig girls.

Well, I have
a sister too.

Oh, really?

Recently married.

She married a lovely
Olympic swimmer.

Tell me.

And the wedding
was gorgeous.

The best man
gave the groom away,

my father gave the
bride away,

and the fact that I
wanted to be flower girl

gave me away.

(laughs)

(laughs)

(laughs)

I bet it did.

(women giggling)

Oh, dear!

Oh, Danny, it's
really too much.

Who's your decorator--
Tiny Tim?

My dear child,

I decorated every inch
of this cottage myself.

Tiny Tim?

Really.

Oh, dig this crazy
bug bomb I found.

(sprays)

Sweet child,
that crazy bug bomb

is worth about $5
a squirt.

Oh, dear.

Well, excuse us.

Guess I can tell when
we're not wanted.

Come on, Bunny,
let's get out of here.

Oh!

Hang around awhile.

They'll be leaving soon.

Don't bother, Bunny.

It's obvious you'd rather
spend your time

with your neighbors.

Bye.

Come on, Bu--

(door slams)

Look, I'm-- I'm terribly
sorry about that.

Oh, it's all right, Danny.

Danny, I want to
talk to you.

Uh, would you excuse me
a second, please?

Certainly.

Talk about being uncool.

Hey, now,
wait a minute.

Whose idea was it to
invite them

in the first place?

Look, Elliot,
I thought that--

that we had an
agreement.

(hushed argument)

I don't know about you,
but I'm hurting.

Do you want them
to hear us?

What do I care
if they hear me?

Look, you can take this
whole scene and shove it,

for my money.

Look, if I don't start
getting a little,

I'm gonna
wind up a basket case.

Why don't you broadcast it
to the whole world?

Where'd everyone go?

Where do you think
everyone went?

Look, Elliot,
if Malcolm and Craig

think that we've been
putting them on,

they could go
right to that colonel

and spill the whole
thing for us.

Where are you going?

Well, I'm gonna go and
try and straighten it out.

Straighten them out?

(sprays)

Impossible.

Hi, Craig, listen.
Hi.

I wanted to apologize.

Oh, don't be silly.

Come on in.
Thank you.

Make yourself at home.

(Malcolm)
Who is it, dear?

It's Danny.

Here, take a seat.

Danny.

Hi, Malcolm.
Hello.

I-- I love
your rug.

Oh, isn't
Beulah heaven?

I trapped her under
the sink.

Uh--
What's going on?

Well, I-- I wanted
to apologize

to the both of you for
the scene that was caused.

I-- I had
no idea that Elliot

was gonna invite
anybody over.

Well, Danny,
first of all,

you don't have to
apologize.

Good Lord,
Craig and I

have had our ups
and downs.

Haven't we, dear?
We certainly have.

In fact, I was
just telling Elliot

that we fought that entire
first year we were married.

Year and a half.

Would you liked some
iced tea?

Sure.

Lover?
No, thanks.

Uh, just

Certainement.

Well, you and, uh, Elliot

seemed to hit it off,

Oh, he's a very nice person.

In fact, you're very lucky
to have him.

Yeah.

Now, listen, lover boy,

if you're going to make any
sudden changes,

I wish you'd let me know.

I was writing out the check
to your landlord

found out you had moved.

The bedroom is upstairs,

Yes, but you

We've really got to hurry,
