-those parts were
Supposed to be here today.

Today is today!
Tomorrow is not today!

-my father worked at norcom
over half his life.

-uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Well, ferguson's gonna blow
His top over this.

-and eventually, he rose to the
ranks of middle management...

-yeah, fine. Fine.

-...Where every day was filled

with crises, challenges,
and rolaids.

yep, through the years,

my father
had given a lot to norcom,

and now he had given them...

-that's it.
That's great.

You guys are doing good.
-...Wayne.

-that goes over to "C," right?

-my brother had been employed
in the mail room

for about six months.

don't ask me how.

-nice shades, man.

-and if his work ethic
didn't exactly match dad's,

at least he was trying to find
a niche for himself,

make new acquaintances.

-you know,
You look really hot today.

-if you don't stop bugging me,
I'm gonna have to report you.

-I'm sorry.
I-I'm really sorry.

Is there anything I can do
To make it up to you?

-just don't be late tonight.

-I'll pick you up at 7:00?

-7:00 is good.

-bonnie douglas.

she was 23, funny, smart,
and -- oh, yeah - divorced.

-very good.

-it was no wonder
wayne felt the way he did.

whatever dad felt
about all this,

he was keeping it to himself.

after all,
like all the arnold men,

he had a lot of things
on his mind.

[ whistle blows,
Indistinct shouting ]

-winnie!

Winnie!

I guess she didn't see me.

-I think she saw you.

-and that was the problem.

winnie cooper was treating me
like I didn't exist.

-I don't get it.

I mean, what did I do, anyway?

-well, let's see.

Offhand, I'd say
You embarrassed her,

Ruined her reputation, and
Lied about your relationship.

But other than that,

I'd say you were
A perfect gentleman.

-never mind the details.
it was true.

winnie and I were on the outs.
-winnie!

[ whistle blows ]
Winnie!

-what I had to do now

was figure out a way
to get her back.

-hi.

How you doing?

-okay.

-so, uh...

Looks like
You're playing field hockey.

-winnie!

[ whistle blows ]

-I got to go.

-sure.

-and there you had it.

after 16 years
of sharing everything together,

overnight we'd become like...
strangers.

-so, how'd it go?

-just perfect.

-yeah, it looked like
Wedding bells to me.

[ whistle blows ]

-yeah.
It's a great movie.

I mean, it's funny,
It's romantic.

-for wayne, however,
things were different.

-I didn't think
He was gonna go.

I mean, it was a french movie
And everything.

-no.
Hey, I love french movies.

I mean, they're so...French.

-[ chuckles ]

-you obviously had to share
in his happiness.

after all, it wasn't every day
that your brother brought home

his previously married,

five-years-older-than-him
girlfriend.

-would you like
Some more meatloaf?

-oh, thank you.

This is really great.

I'm so glad we finally got
A chance to meet you.

-well, me too.

I'm sorry I was late.

I just moved into
A new apartment,

And I haven't really unpacked
Everything yet.

-oh, you should see it.
It's a mess.

I'll help you unpack tonight.
-okay.

-something told us that this
was a deeper relationship

than wayne
had ever been involved in.

-you know, dad, I was thinking.

We can lend bonnie that portable
Dishwasher in the garage.

Hmm?

-sure.

No problem.

-still, chitchat aside...

-so...

How long
Have you been divorced?

-...Seemed there were
greater issues at stake here.

-since last christmas.

-you probably don't want
To talk about it?

-oh, no, no.
I don't mind.

We were naive, right out
Of high school, and...

We didn't realize
How serious and important

A commitment marriage is.

-I'm not sure
if bonnie realized

the significance
of her statement,

but she came through
with flying colors.

-do you know?
I forgot to put out the salad.

it was norma arnold's

carrot-and-raisin-salad
seal of approval.

-I also don't think
He was ready to handle david.

-david?

-who's david?

-he's my -- my son.

-I-I didn't mention him?

-[ chuckles ]

-no.

-unh-unh.

-oh.

-well!

How old is he?

-six months.

-what about that salad, mom?

-what salad?

-watch it, will ya?
-[ sighs ] I got it!

-do you think she's all right
In there?

-yeah. I guess so.
Come on. Let's go.

-how you guys doin'?

-fine.

How'd it go?
-okay, I guess.

I don't know.
I had a nice talk with your mom.

That's good.

-[ sighs ] I don't know.
[ chuckles ]

Your folks look at me like
I'm corrupting you or something.

-no, no.
Hey, they always look that way.

-you know, you really
Should have told them.

-why?

-well,
Because they're concerned.

I mean, th-there's david, and
I'm five years older than you...

-hey -- some months,
It's only four years,

Which is...
Just about three years.

So we're almost the same age.

-yeah...

-that's so sweet.

-of course,
it was a touching moment.

honest.
-[ clears throat ] wayne?

The dishwasher.

-oh, yeah.
-yeah. We better go.

The sitter expects me at 10:00.

-oh, yeah. Well,
Let me get the attachments,

And we'll get out of here.

-it was weird.
crazy, really.

my brother had somehow managed
to set up camp in shangri-la.

while I was stuck with...

gilson's gift barn.

where the brokenhearted
went to shop.

-hey, what about
This electronic football game?

-why would winnie want that?

-I don't know. Maybe you guys
Could play it together.

-may I help you?

-uh, yeah.

We're looking for something
For my girlfriend.

-yeah, they had a fight.

-oh.
A little lovers' quarrel, hmm?

-no, it was nothing like that.

-yeah, it was
Much more despicable.

-we're just looking around,
Okay?

-but something told me
this wasn't gonna be easy.

after all,
I was on a mission here...

a quest to recapture love.

and nothing but
the perfect gift was gonna do.

I needed something
that made a statement --

something that said it all.

something with bulk.
-♪ my mama told me ♪

-♪ you better shop around ♪

-something with fur.

-♪ you better shop around ♪

-so, what do you think?

-I can't speak for winnie,

But I know that I would love
A gift like this.

-maybe so. Maybe not.

-all I really knew was...

[ cash register dings ]

...That night
it was my only hope.

-kevin, will you slow down?

-sorry, mom.

-by dinnertime,
the arnold household

was practically buzzing
with plans.

-hi. Bye.

-where are you going?

-well, bonnie couldn't find
A sitter,

So we're gonna hang out at her
Place and take care of david.

-just don't forget.
The diaper goes on the bottom.

-[ laughs ]

-[ laughs mockingly ]
Shut up, scrote.

I'll see you guys later.

-but if wayne thought he was
getting away that easily...

-you know, wayne...

-...He hadn't counted on mom.

-...We'd love to see
The baby someday.

-huh?

-jack, isn't the norcom picnic
Coming up this sunday?

-huh?

-we could all go together.

That would be fun, wouldn't it?

-I'll talk to bonnie.

-still, whatever
norma arnold was cooking up,

she was obviously on her own.

[ doorbell rings ]

as for me, well...

I had a date...

with destiny.

-oh. Hi.

-hey. How's it going?

-call it "Triumphant return,
with bear."

-I'm fine.

-I could tell
by the look in her eyes

that she was impressed.

-hi.

-oh, kevin.
You know phil, don't you?

-uh, yeah.

Hi.

-we're studying for the sats.

-we're on
The vocabulary section now.

-yeah, well, uh...

Vocabulary's hard.

-yeah, it is.

-it was funny.

all of us knew that
I was holding a stuffed bear.

but none of us
even mentioned it.

-well, uh...

I better get going.

-bye, kevin.

-bye.

[ squeak! ]

-bye.

-what do you mean
The parts are in pittsburgh?

Pittsburgh is there,
And here is here.

-over the next few days,
things remained about the same.

dad drank maalox...

-[ exhales sharply ]
Well, ferguson's gonna kill me.

-...And yelled...

-oh, yeah?
Well, then I'm gonna kill you!

Uh-huh.

-...While my brother continued
his crazy courtship.

-wait. Can you...

[ laughs ]

[ laughing ] wayne.

Okay.
Thanks a lot.

Um, is there anything else
I have -- okay.

-ohhh!

-right away.
All right.

-hello. It's me again.
-what?

-you love me, don't you?
-wayne. Stop.

-he was charming and dopey
and crazy in love

all at once...
-don't.

-...As opposed to, say,
some of the rest of us.

-you look terrible.

-[ scoffs ]
What are you talking about?

-well, you're slumped over.
You got crumbs all over you.

You know,
There's a dress code here.

-yeah, well...

-maybe you need a bow tie
Or something.

People always look happy
Wearing a bow tie.

-winnie!

[ laughter ]

-but what I needed...

I couldn't have.

-uh, I'm gonna get
Another drink.

You want a root beer
Or something?

-yeah. Sure. Thanks.

-the thing was,

seeing winnie over there
didn't make me angry or mad.

-I just felt
very, very, lonely.

-excuse me?

-can I borrow your ketchup?

-uh, sure.

-oh, and do you have
Any napkins I can borrow?

-sure.

Want my fries, too?

-[ giggles ]
Just a couple.

[ giggles ]

I can't believe I said that.

-no.

No, it's fine. Really.
Want some? Here.

-thanks, uh...

-my name's kevin.

-hi, I'm cindy.

-I haven't seen you
Around school.

-oh, we just moved into town.

-well, how do you like it
So far?

-well, it's kind of lonely.

-lonely.

that was certainly something
I could understand.

-well...

Maybe it'll get better.

-really?

Thanks for saying that.

-the funny thing was, this was

the first pleasant conversation
I'd had with a girl in weeks.

-guys, come on.

and somehow, sitting there,

this whole situation
became unbearable.

I just knew
I needed someone to talk to.

-excuse me.

Would you like to...
-great!

-...Go out on sunday afternoon?

-great.

the annual
norcom family picnic.

one sunday every year,
polyester suits were traded in

for bermuda shorts
and polo shirts.

beer and conversation
were flowing everywhere.

almost everywhere.

-[ crying ]
-yes, david. Hello.

How are you?

-you just have to rock him
A little bit, wayne.

-aw, come on.

-okay, david.
Here you go.

I think he likes me.

Oh, maybe your mom
Would like to try?

-yeah.
-good luck.

-come here, angel.

Oh, no.
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.

Aww, look
At this beautiful baby. Ooh.

Remember when kevin and wayne
Were this small, honey?

-it was a long time ago, norma.

-wayne had
The cutest little behind.

-mom!

-he still does.

-kevin, if you were an animal,

What animal
Would you like to be?

And you can be
Any animal you want.

-what animal?

-I bet you'd make a good bird.

I can see you flying around
And looking at everything.

-yeah,
I guess a bird sounds okay.

-look, there are some swings
Over there.

You want to try 'em out?
Let's go try 'em out?

-uh, why don't you go ahead?
I'll be right over.

-okay, neat.
See you soon, mr. Bird. Bye!

-somehow in the cold light
of sunday,

cindy's chirpiness
was becoming too chirpy.

worst of all,
I missed winnie more than ever.

I needed
some grown-up conversation.

-come on, you little peanut.
Come on.

-well, as close as I could get.

-hey.

-hi.

You know,
You're doing really well.

-well, I'll get the hang of it.

-but I couldn't help
getting the feeling

that wayne was
a little overwhelmed.

-you sure this is okay?

You know, you taking care
Of the baby and everything?

-what's that supposed to mean?

-nothing.
It doesn't mean anything.

-of course, I was just trying
To say that I'd hoped david

wouldn't spit up on him
or something, but...

-I'll do a lot better once
Bonnie and I move in together.

-what?

You're gonna live together?

-yeah.
It'll be great, huh?

I want to take david to football
Games, to baseball games.

I'm gonna have to buy him
A glove.

-it was unbelievable.

I was standing there, watching
my brother make a decision

that would affect
his entire life.

-well, did you tell mom and dad?

-no. Not yet.

-don't you think you should?

-no. Why?

What, are they my parents
Or something?

Come on, you little peanut.

You want to go see mommy?

Yes, you do.

Here we go.

[ david crying ]

I think he did something.

-kevin...I have an idea.

Let's see who can eat
Our hot dogs the fastest.

I think I like the hamburgers
A little bit more

Than the hot dogs,
But I'm not sure.

I could have liked
The hot dogs more.

-by the end of the picnic,
I couldn't wait to get home...

make my escape.

face it -- this whole thing
had been a disaster.

-wayne, you can't do this.

I guess it was a disaster
for everybody.

-mom, we already decided.

-but you're only 18 years old.

-don't you understand?
We're in love.

-how can you be so sure?
-what are you talking about?

-look, I know
That bonnie needs you,

And that makes you feel
Very good.

But need isn't love.

-I don't believe this.
You don't know anything!

-I just don't want you
To get hurt.

-you just
Don't want to see me grow up!

I want you to stay out of this,

And I want you to butt out
Of my life!

You got it?

-oh, look!

A stuffed bear!

How adorable!

He's so cute and cuddly.

-cindy, it's just a bear.
Will you forget about it?

-you don't have to be
Such a grouch.

You sound just like my brother.

He's in high school, too.

-wait a minute.

-wait a minute.

Where do you go to school?

-kennedy.

-what grade are you in?

-7th.

Does it matter?

-[ exhales sharply ]
Well, yeah, it does.

-[ sighs ]

I was afraid you'd say that.

-why don't you take the bear?

I don't want it.

-thanks!

I'm gonna name him kevin.

-and there you had it.

the perfect end
to a perfect day.

-hi.

-how you doing?

-[ sighs ]

-lousy.

-join the club.

[ door opens ]

-so, where's mom?

-she, uh...Went to bed.

-I'm getting out of here.

-wayne, um...

...Can we talk for a minute?

-dad, there's nothing
To talk about.

I'm doing this, and that's it.

-fine.

If that's what you have to do.

-guess it wasn't exactly
the answer wayne had expected.

-look, I, uh...

Just got one thing to say,
So bear with me, okay?

-[ sighs ]

-you know...
[clears throat]

...I, uh...

Started working at norcom
Right after the marines.

I was 24,

And I thought I was gonna be
Out of there in no time.

I was gonna try
Some different things...

Take some chances.

I figured I had my whole life
Ahead of me.

But before I knew it,
There was a family...

A home...

A mortgage.

And...

-in a way,

I knew it was the hardest thing
dad had ever done.

he was speaking from the heart.

he was speaking out of love.

-all I'm saying is...

-dad...

...That's your life.

Not mine.

I got to get going.

See ya.

-and then he was gone.

and we were left.

and that house
seemed a little emptier.

-hi.

You got a sec?

-that night
I went back to winnie's.

I'm not sure why.

all I knew was
what I said had to be perfect.

-nice night, huh?

-kevin, we've been through this.

-I know.

And I know that
I shouldn't even be here.

And I know you don't even
Want to talk to me.

Winnie...

I know I did something terrible,

Something horrible.

And if I could take it back,
I would.

You know I just wish
You'd do something awful to me,

And then we could be even.
[ chuckles awkwardly ]

But, uh...

You would never do that.

Anyway...

...Never mind.

It's just all this stuff
Is happening.

My brother -- he left home.
He's gone.

And I just need someone
To talk about it with.

You're the only one
I could think of.

You've always been
The only one, winnie.

And I just...
Wanted you to know that.

-what happened to the bear?

-it's kind of a long story.

-maybe you'd like
To tell me about it.

You want to come in for a while?

-yeah.

I would.

-it was that simple.

and it was that complex.

love can kill you.

it can tear you apart.

but if you're very lucky,
it can bring you back together.

sometimes love is unexpected
and unpredictable.

and sometimes you just
have to go with your heart...

...And hope for the best.
