Maybe the world is blind or just a little unkind.

Don't know.

Seems you can't be sure of anything anymore.

Although.

revision.

I'll be in my room.

Not so fast.

Don't you have something to show me?

Oh, I don't know.

What would you like to see?

How about a report card with nothing but A's on it?

Would you settle for a drawing of Brandon I did at recess?

I want to see that report card right now.

Okay, no problem. Just sign right here.

You mind if I read it first?

Okay, if you give me a two -minute head start to my room.

Sit!

Young lady.

Uh -oh.

You only call me young lady when my room is messy, when I won't eat beef.

And when you're failing math. And when I'm failing math.

How did you know?

Monkey, I'm a parent.

We know about these things.

Besides, your teacher called.

A D.

All right, let's have it. How long do I have to stay in my room?

You're not going to your room.

Oh, no. You're sending me to the home for kids who fail math.

Your teacher and I have discussed it at length. We're arranging for you to have

a tutor.

A tutor?

That's worse than B.

It's for your own good.

He should be here any minute. He's your age, and his name is Walker Wembley.

Walker Wembley?

Sounds like a geek to me.

He's not a geek.

He's a mathematical genius.

Geniuses are always geeks.

It's a law of nature.

That should be him right now.

Be polite and try to learn something.

I'll say hello and go and read in my room.

No, no, Henry. You can't leave me alone with some geeky nerd.

Okay, okay.

You must be Walker.

Yes, sir.

What a great name.

This is Punky, and this is Walker Wembley.

Hi, Walker.

Hi. Bye, Henry.

If you kids need me, I'll be in my room.

Thank you for making him cute.

Well, Punky, what is it about math that gives you problems?

The numbers.

I see.

I guess we better start on chapter one.

My teacher says I'll need a lot of help.

I'll probably need hundreds of hours of tutoring.

Maybe more.

Aren't you going to get the door?

Was that the door? I thought it was my heart.

What are you guys doing here?

What do you mean, what are we doing here? We're supposed to go to the record

store at 4 o 'clock.

Margo's almost downstairs.

And who's the babe?

This is Walker, my math tutor.

These are my friends. I'm Cherry, her best friend.

I'm Margo, her prettiest friend.

friends seem nice. What friends?

Gee, your eyes are blue.

Thanks. Now let's talk math.

Are you wearing contacts or little pieces of the sky?

Huh?

I said would you like a little piece of pie?

Uh, no thanks.

Let's get started on percents and ratios.

Maybe this will turn out to be more than just math lessons.

Why? Are you slow in history and English, too?

No, I was just trying to be funny. Oh, I enjoy girls with a sense of humor. You

like parties?

Sure. I don't need tutoring for them.

Great. I'm having a party next Saturday. I'd love to come.

Good deal.

By the way, there'll be more guys and girls, so bring your friends.

Sure, we'll be there.

Thank you, Brandon.

Of course I know what I'm doing. I fixed this thing a hundred times.

Henry, close your eyes and follow me.

Prepare to have your socks knocked off.

look so grown up.

Ah, Henry, every time I get dressed up for a party, you get misty -eyed.

No, I get nervous.

You aren't going to win a chaperone, are you? Of course not. I want to ride

shotgun.

You even said yourself that Walker's a nice boy and a genius.

That's before I knew he was also a babe.

Sherry, I'm so nervous.

This isn't tutor -student anymore. He's man.

Party's off.

Oh, come on, you old prude.

Punky didn't mean it that way.

How did you mean it?

I don't know what I mean. When I think of Walker, I get brain meltdown.

Punky, let me give you a little advice about men.

This should be good.

You haven't had a date since the victory dance at Valley Forge.

Yeah? And you were too old for that?

me even then.

Honey, the most important thing about dealing with men is not to seem too

anxious. Uh -huh. On the other hand, you definitely want them to know you're

interested. Uh -huh.

But in a ladylike sort of way.

She means be cool, be cash, and, like, never let them see you sweat.

Gotcha. Yoo -hoo!

The bell of the ball is here. Our limo awaits.

Bye, Henry. Bye, sweetheart.

Have fun. Be good.

Well, make up your mind.

luck with Walker if you're on the same side of the room.

Yeah, but I can't just go up and start talking like he was a normal human

He smiles and waves.

Hi.

I'm Myron.

I don't suppose either of you want to dance with me?

just erase your check mark.

Ooh, dancing sure makes me thirsty.

Yeah, me too.

I sure could use some punch.

Yeah, me too.

Don't you think you should get a thumb?

That's man's work, isn't it?

Hi. Hi.

Great party. Yeah, I'm glad you came. You are?

Sure. How'd you do on your last math exam?

I got a C+. I would also.

You're a terrific teacher.

Thanks.

Uh, Punky, I've got something really important to tell you.

You do?

Did you ever meet someone that you really... Really flipped over

I sure have.

And did you find yourself thinking about the person all the time?

And beautiful.

You said that already.

I just think she's great, and I don't know how to tell her.

Will you tell her for me?

You want me to tell Margo that you like her?

Yeah. And could you also mention that I'm pretty cool?

You want me to tell her that you're cool, too?

Yeah. You think I'm pretty cool, don't you?

That's not exactly the word I had in mind.

Then you'll do it?

I'll think about it.

Could you think that?

I want to take her to the movies tomorrow night.

Excuse me, may I cut in?

Boy, when it rains, it pours.

Hucky, what are you doing?

Walker likes Margo.

No. Yes, and he wants me to tell her how cool he is so she'll go to the movies

with him tomorrow.

bean dip on him.

No.

Not really his fault he likes Margo instead of me.

She's beautiful and rich and smart.

You're smart.

Well, not at math.

You need a tutor for that.

But you're certainly just as beautiful.

In a cuter sort of way.

You may not be rich, but you do like to have your own frog phone.

I might as well go talk to Margo.

Margo, Walker's crazy mad nuts about you. He thinks you're beautiful and he

wants to take you to the movies tomorrow.

An admirer? How wonderful!

How romantic!

Who's Walker?

My math tutor.

That jerk? No way.

Punky will be home soon.

You've got a lot to let go, boy.

She's growing up.

Learning about life. Meeting young men.

Who I will hunt down and destroy.

Henry, the girls are back.

Did you have a good time?

It was okay.

Just okay?

Well, I had a great time.

But poor Punky had her heart stomped on.

Sweetheart. What happened? Are you all right?

Punky will be fine.

Young hearts mend quickly.

Come on, Chip.

Good night. Good night.

Would it help if we talked about her?

I don't think so.

It sure would help me.

Please tell me what happened.

Walker invited me to his party just so he could meet Margo.

That's not very nice.

It was disgusting. I watched him make goo -goo eyes that are all night.

Yes, goo -goo eyes can be disgusting.

And then they played marshmallow on a string. You know, the kissing game?

Tell me, dear, were you playing this marshmallow game?

Get real, Henry. It was bad enough having to watch.

Well, I'm sorry that this party turned out to be so unpleasant for you.

Henry, life stinks.

Well, maybe it isn't always fair.

But believe me, life has a way of balancing these things out.

Henry, life will never balance this one out, even if I live to be as old as you.

A Twinkie to cheer me up?

I know you were saving this one for yourself. A card?

Your heart is broken, but don't feel blue. Brandon's still here, and he loves

you.

Aw, thanks, pal.

Punky, want to go to the mall? They're giving away free samples of Chubby's

Chocolate Emporium.

Sounds great, but I've got to study this afternoon.

Well, I can't go to the mall either.

Walker's coming over for a date.

Well, aren't you dying to know what we're going to do?

Not really.

Of course you are.

First, we're having high tea in the garden with Mommy and Daddy.

Wow -wee.

Then we're going to a big charity fundraiser, a Rolls -Royce demolition

like a crashing bore.

I don't blame you two for being jealous.

My first serious romance and I found the perfect man.

Punky, thank you for bringing Walkie and me together.

You and Walkie are welcome.

We love so many of the same things.

Ballet, the opera, museums.

We've become inseparable.

Well, you better go. You don't want to keep Walkie waiting.

Oh, he loves waiting for me, even when my hair won't behave and I have to spend

an extra three or four hours on it.

What a guy.

He sure is.

Punky, I hope someday you're lucky enough to find someone like Walker.

Margo, do you have any idea what you're saying?

Of course not.

Should I?

in love with Walker all along.

But you told me you thought he was a jerk.

She only did that to be nice.

Well, that's always a mistake.

I'm afraid it's too late to give him back now.

Walker and I are deeply in love.

Who is it?

It's Walker.

Oh, I know what he wants. It's our one -week anniversary and I bet he's dying

buy me a gift.

He should die.

I want to hear from you on what to buy.

Come on, Cher, I'll drop you at the mall.

This sounds more interesting than the mall.

I leave you with three words for your hint.

Diamonds are forever.

Come on, Cher.

I think I'll just hang around Paisley's kitchen, maybe feed the old face.

That's no refrigerator.

You're eavesdropping.

here, is she?

No, and I've got three words for you.

Diamonds are forever.

Goodbye. Wait, not yet.

I have something to ask you.

I got tickets to a Sting concert.

Would you like to go?

Me?

Yeah.

With you?

Yeah.

What about Margot?

Yeah, what about Margot?

I thought you were crazy mad nuts about her. No, I'm sick, bored, and tired of

her.

things she makes me do.

Operas, tea parties.

She won't even play video games. She's afraid she'll chip a nail.

And all she talks about is money.

She even asked my dad for a copy of his stock portfolio.

That's Margo.

I know.

Punky, I made a big mistake and I'm man enough to admit it.

I realize now there's someone else I like.

Who?

You. Me?

That's right.

Punky, I'm sorry.

All that blonde hair blinded me.

In other words, first you used me to get to Margo.

Now you don't like her. You like me.

And you want to get rid of her. You got it. That's a dumper.

You.

would destroy her no it wouldn't it would destroy him margo baby

you wouldn't throw an egg at me of course not i'm too much of a lady for

you stood up for me.

That's punk.
