All language subtitles for Eight Is Enough s02e21 The Boyfriend

Hello, is Missy Capleton there, please?

Nicholas Bradford. I'm in her class.

Hello, Missy. Yeah, remember today in
penmanship class, Mrs. Duffick said your

M's were really good.

Well, I was wondering if I could borrow
some M's.

What do you mean that's not fair?

I'd give them back to you right when I'm
done tracing them.

It is not cheating.

It is not.

Boy, thanks a lot.

What's the matter, Nicholas?

It's Missy Capleton. She won't let me
around for penmanship.

Oh. Well, you know, you're really not
supposed to trace other people's letters

in penmanship.

Oh, yeah? How come Freddie Ryan lends me
his W's?

Girls.

I would like to remind you that we are
experiencing a water shortage in this

state. A serious water shortage. So
serious, in fact, that our governor is

declaring it a state of emergency.

If he knew what was going on in this
house, he would declare it a disaster.

Well, Dad, what are we supposed to do? I
mean, it's the big corporations that

are wasting that stuff.

No, no, no. We're doing our share. Now,
we're going to have to cut down our

consumption 10%, or these bills are
going to go up 50%. All right, why don't

start with Nancy not washing her hair
twice a day, huh? Me?

What about your garden?

And Joanie learning her lines in the
shower. The garden is food, Nancy.

Yeah, and the shower's the only place I
can practice. Now, just hold on. It's

very obvious that somebody is going to
have to organize this whole thing.

Somebody other than me. Now, come on. Do
I have any volunteers?

Me! Me!

Yeah.

Hey, that's a good idea. All right.
Nicholas, are you ready? By the powers

vested in me, I hereby appoint you water
monitor.

Yesterday. Hey, five o 'clock, right on
the nose.

We're hoping to pull this thing off.

Oh, it's a piece of cake.

With 20 minutes between rounds, we've
got plenty of time.

Yeah, but what if the watchman changes
his schedule?

And what if the moon changes to cheese?

What's the matter with you, you chicken?

No, of course not.

Well, that's good. This is a two -man
job, and I've already started taking

orders.

You really think the market will be good
for these?

Good.

Good?

The 8x10 glosses are going to outsell
Farrah Fawcett. Tell me, my boy, the

market is going to be out of sight.

Do the Bradford Shuffle.

No, I don't want to do the Bradford
Shuffle. Would you mind turning that

little?

Hey, Elizabeth, Bradford Shuffle time?
All right. Let's get the first part

I think

I'll

go lie down.

What exactly does a water monitor do,
Dad?

Yes. What exactly does a water monitor
do? Let's see.

Inspection. That's right. He has to
inspect all types of bathroom and

plumbing. Oh, checks for leaks, huh,
Dad? That's right. Leaks and drips and

forms of waste.

Oh, well. What if I find something
wrong?

Oh, if you find something wrong, then
you have to supervise the repairs and

consult me.

Only if you have to. Oh, right, Dad.

Now, after the inspection, you have to
post the new rules and enforce those

rules by timing the water usage.

Well, a stopwatch.

Yes, I used to jog a lot when I was
young and foolish.

Boy, I get the bus everywhere to rent.
That's right. You're the law around

Nicholas.

I think you should offer him a home
-cooked meal.

See, most graduate students are in
desperate need of home cooking.

You don't think that's too aggressive,
do you? I mean, I'd hate to scare this

guy off. No, no, I don't think it's too
aggressive.

You see, Susan, most men like to be, um,
well, they like to be approached.

But you have to approach them, um,
carefully.

So what kind of guy is he?

Oh, he's a very deep intellectual.

And that's the problem, Abby. I wish
there was something I could talk to him

about. You could whisper deep
intellectual things in his ear.

That's cute.

He's cute.

Oh, I wish I was five years older.

You look old enough.

In fact, with your hair up like this,
you look five years older.

You really think so?

Yeah.

In fact, I think you look, um, very, um,

elegant.

Yeah? Yeah.

Oh, thanks.

Elegant, huh? Yes.

All together, how many?

Eight of them? Eight of them. But don't
let them scare you. Just don't turn your

back on me.

I'll try to remember that.

You know, it smells good already.

I haven't had a home -cooked meal in
ages.

You know, I thought you looked
undernourished on the courts today.

I felt undernourished.

But I haven't had so much fun in six
months.

Anybody get a look at him? Well, just a
quickie. Susan has him in the kitchen

watching her peel potatoes.

What a weird way to entertain a date.

I know. She thinks she's going to show
him what a nice little homemaker she is.

That's a laugh. The only thing Susan
knows how to cook is a salad. Yeah, and

usually burns that.

Well, I don't know about you guys, but
I'm going to check him out. Me too. Hey,

hey, come on. Wait a minute, you guys.
It's not so obvious.

One at a time.

One at a time. One at a time, Tony.

One at a time.

Martin, you've been working too hard.

It's just till I finish my thesis.

After I deliver that paper, I'm taking
two weeks off to unwind.

And then I'm going to take a vacation.

Oh, what's the need of a few days in the
mountains?

Oh, you have any particular mountain in
mind?

Well, as a matter of fact, I happen to
know of a lovely little mountain.

Huh.

Hi, Susan. Can I help?

Hi, Nancy.

You certainly can.

Deal.

Who's straight?

Oh, Martin. This is Nancy, Nancy, Marty.

Hi. Hi, Martin.

Well, tell me, did she beat you?

Straight sets.

Don't feel bad. You're not the first.

Hi, buddy.

Hi. Can we help?

Who says you can't get good help
anywhere?

Marty, are you in some of the same
classes with Susan? No, Mr. Bradford.

Ph .D. candidate in education.

And a very promising tennis player.

Wow. Abby, did you hear that? Marty
teaches education.

Really? What field?

Well, it's a little technical. My thesis
is based on reading score correlations.

I don't suppose you've heard of the
Prager -Shiffman method?

Prager -Shiffman? Right. Wilhelm Prager
and Dorothy Shiffman. Um, I've been

teaching that method for years to my
problem readers.

You have?

Yeah. Um...

Abby, I don't think Martin wants to talk
about his work right now. He gets so

little time to relax. No, no, no. I'm
very interested in this. I've been

for someone who uses Prager -Shiffman in
the field. I have to deliver that

dissertation in two weeks.

How long have you been using the reading
score correlation parabola?

About ten years.

Ten years of data?

Mm -hmm.

That's incredible. Can you believe this,
Susan?

Theory meets practice.

Does the data significate?

Well, with some modifications, yeah.

What modifications?

My doctoral thesis is based on reading
score correlations. I'd love to look at

that data. Well, my data's in the
garage.

Could I have a look at it?

Susan, would you mind terribly if we
excuse ourselves for a minute? No,

sure?

Okay, well, um, you guys carry on. We'll
be right back. You wouldn't have

quotient grade differentials.

Well, I hit it off quite well.

Yeah, like gangbusters.

Abby, thanks a million for the data.
It's invaluable.

I'll call you first thing in the
morning? Oh, sure.

Pleasure meeting you, Mr. Bradford.

Susan, that dinner was terrific.

I'll see you.

I got a problem, right?

Yeah, right.

Well, parents rule number one. Deal with
problems as quickly and directly as

they come up, huh?

You get a lot of doors slammed in your
face, but it beats three days of

I got you.

And he didn't even pay any attention to
Susan.

I wonder what Dad thought.

Oh, hi, Dad.

Martin gone?

Nice guy, wasn't he? Yeah, boy, he was
interesting, huh? I learned so much

Pregel and Schiffler.

No, I think it was Pregman and
Schiffler, huh? No. It was a good topic.

It was different. Dinner was great.

Would you like to talk about it?

Yeah, I'd like to talk about it.

I'm listening.

Okay.

I bring a guy home for dinner, and you
completely monopolize the conversation

that no one can get a word in edgewise.

I mean, I went out of my way to get
Martin's mind off his work, and then you

completely turn it around to his Ph .D.
thesis.

And then, then you get up from the
dinner table and march right on out to

garage in front of everybody.

Are you finished?

Yeah, I'm finished.

Is there anything else you'd like to
add?

Well, first of all, I don't think we
monopolized the conversation.

We just discovered a mutual interest and
maybe our enthusiasm got us a little

carried away, but believe me, Susan, I
have no intention of interfering in your

relationship with Martin.

Abby, you have.

My work is very important to me, as is
apparently Martin's to him.

We're just in a position to help each
other out.

And I suppose that you're going to
continue to be in a position to help

other out?

Yes.

That's just great, Abby.

My only competition used to be two
eggheads named Prager and Schiffman, and

I've got my stepmother in the way to
boot.

Apparently you're too angry to hear what
I'm saying, but I'm going to say it

anyway.

Could I stop you? No.

If you don't trust me enough to work on
an academic project with a friend of

yours, then that just doesn't save very
much for our relationship.

I'd like you to think about that.

Look, look, if the news is bad, I mean,
just flirt it right out. Tell me.

Okay?

I hate to tell you this, but you're in
decent physical shape.

Decent? What does decent mean?

All the tests are within normal limits
for a man your age.

A man my age?

Well, let's face it. You're not 25 years
old anymore.

I know. I mean, I'd settle for 35.

Will you stop being silly?

All I'm trying to say is that, well,
you're a perfectly normal, healthy

What you really should do is let the
engine run for a few minutes before you

take off.

Lubricate the chassis.

Watch the oil level.

Hey, what's up?

You're supposed to make a clever
comeback.

Then I say something funny, and then
you... It's called a conversation.

Max, can I ask you a very frank
question?

Sure.

Do you think I'm too old for Abby?

Are you kidding?

What is this, a seven -month itch?

She's crazy in love with you. I know,
it's just...

Why do I feel that she has more in
common with my kids than she does with

For example, two days ago, Susan comes
home with this 25 -year -old kid.

Abby hits it off with him right away.

So what?

So now the two of them took off and
they're working on some project that

both interested in.

I mean, I didn't even want to talk to
this kid.

I think you're being absolutely
ridiculous.

But if you're worried, get it out in the
open.

Go right to the source.

Ask her.

Deal with the problem as quickly and
directly as possible.

What's that?

I get a lot of door slams in my face,
but it beats three days of sulking.

So where's the leak?

You're looking straight at it.

You mean this tiny little drip?

David, in a water emergency, every
little drip turns out to be a big drip.

I don't have time for this. Put a bucket
under it.

Dad! Dad!

Oh, what is it, Nicholas? What's the
matter? David won't fix the leak.

But when you look at it, it's tiny. It's
not worth the trouble.

Dad, you did say I wasn't charged.

Yes, Nicholas, I did.

David, I did put Nicholas in charge of
water. And he is right. It's little

like this that add up to one big water
shortage.

Sure. Why not?

What else do I have to do except relax,
have a couple of beers, get together

with Lucy?

Thanks, David. We really appreciate it.

Hey.

Drip.

Hey, Dave, can I borrow your drill?

Yeah, sure.

What do you want it for?

To drill a hole.

Oh, okay.

That's a good thing to do with a drill.

Yeah.

Hey, David, you better get working on
that drip.

You know, Nicholas...

Someday you're going to make a great
prison warden.

So simple.

Yeah, that's the beauty of it.

Once you define the variable, it comes
to a perfect parabola. Yes, but the

reading quotient becomes important. I
know, I know. With the small data sample

was using, there was no way of defining
the variable.

Well, now you needed some computer time
when you're in business, right?

Yeah.

You want some cheese?

Yeah. What kind of cheese?

Camembert.

It's amazing how things sort of fell
into place once we started working

together.

I don't know what I would have done
without you. You would have had a

with a sag in the middle.

What? A parabola with a sag in the
middle.

A parabola with a sag in the middle.
Yes.

You don't think so, Mary? No. What about
that Peter Winograd? Winograd? Yeah,

well, whatever. You were dating him,
right?

Yeah. Gloria Summer. Yeah, and you met
on some project.

Biology.

We shared a frock.

For several days, we proceeded to
dissect poor Herbie and made small talk,

then, boom, we were dating. I know.
That's exactly what worries me about

and Martin.

I mean, it could start off innocently
enough and everything with Preyberg and

whatever her name is, but, I mean, this
could lead to something, Mary. Do you

know they have been at it for a whole
week, practically every day?

Yeah.

Sooner or later, he's going to try
something.

You guys, just because two people happen
to be of the opposite sex, it doesn't

mean that they can't work together
without getting romantically involved.

Oh, yeah? Yeah. Look at Sonny and Cher.

Bad example.

The problem is that men and women have
never been allowed to work together as

equals.

Mary, the point is that every time a man
and woman are together, there's some

amount of sexual energy.

All right, you get it all right?

Oh, yeah, I'm pretty fine knowing you're
the best.

How about you?

No sweat.

Oh, terrific.

Did you have any problems with your
brother?

No, I can handle him.

Are you sure you can take pictures with
that thing? How are you kidding?

Darling, boy, these pictures are going
to be superb.

Maybe just a little bit overexposed?

Definitely overexposed.

Here, hang on to this.

All right.

Ready?

Oh, boy, tomorrow afternoon it's nothing
but girls, girls, girls.

will manage.

Okay, well, look, I'm going to Martin's
to give him these data sheets and then

we're going to go over the computer
printouts and, well, I shouldn't be too

late. You've got the number, right?

Right. Right, okay.

Yeah.

I've got the number.

Hello?

Oh, sure, yeah. Just a minute.

Anybody for frozen steaks?

Yeah, I'm starved. Good. Come on.

Let's go.

Oh, Martin, you're not going to believe
this. I don't even believe this. I

didn't even remember until I got in the
elevator.

I forgot the data sheet. Makes no
difference. What do you mean it makes no

difference? We're going out.

Martin, why do you have in your car? I
got a surprise for you.

Martin, listen. Now, wait a minute. In
30 minutes, Wilhelm Prager and Dorothy

Schiffman are speaking at the University
Auditorium.

Why didn't you tell me?

It would have been a surprise.

They're in Sacramento?

For one night. Oh, that's great. Come
on, let's go. What do you mean? They're

the auditorium. Yes, and we've got to
get going.

I'd rather spend some time on her ground
strokes.

Why don't you volunteer your services?

What's that supposed to mean?

Oh, nothing.

Nothing.

So, did you learn anything interesting
from Abby last night?

Susan, I don't know what's bugging you.

Abby and I get along just fine.

If you really want to know, we ended up
going to a lecture.

Oh, you went out on a date with my
stepmother. Oh, that's cute.

Now I know what's bugging you.

No, we did not go out on a date.

We went out on a fact -finding mission.

Martin, you still went out.

Yeah.

We even sat in the back of the
auditorium.

I'm not laughing.

You should be. You're acting pretty
funny.

Susan, Abby and I share a mutual
interest.

She's going way out of her way to help
me, and I'm very grateful.

So when is somebody going to go way out
of his way to help me?

Susan.

Look at me.

Come on.

Will you trust me?

This project will be over before you
know it.

Come on.

Beat my brains out.

Suddenly, I'm in the mood.

This is great. Here comes the volleyball
team.

All right. Oh, there's Erica.

This is perfect. This is perfect. Come
on. No, no, no, no. Go get your camera.

Go get your camera. Here, hang on. Oh,
this is great. Oh, wow.

Come on, Dan. Hurry it up, man. I don't
want to miss this.

All right. All right. Give me the
camera. Give me the camera.

All right. Hey, Danny, come on, man. Cut
it out.

Hey, Danny.

Mr. Gillette.

David Bradford. David... Bradford. The
cow in the principal's office.

Now, that was never proved.

Of course, Bradford.

A whole family of troublemakers and
malcontents, aren't you?

Of course, here it is.

Mary Bradford, always fighting the dress
code.

Joanie, smoking on campus.

Nancy, pruant.

Do you have anything on Elizabeth?

No, but then she doesn't graduate till
next June. There's always time.

I must say, that's quite a rap sheet on
your family.

Mr. Gillette, I thought you called me
here to discuss a problem with Tommy.

Actually, I thought I was calling your
father.

Well, he's somewhere between his office
and home. If you prefer, we can wait for

him.

Or I can personally see that this matter
is handled in the proper fashion.

In the interest of time, perhaps that
will suffice.

I'm afraid your brother's offense has
plunged your family's reputation to an

-time low.

Of course, all of this will be reflected
on Thomas' permanent records.

Of course.

I'll make sure that the school's
reimbursed for all damages.

Boy, you really saved my behind that
time, David.

Let me tell you, you were brilliant in
there. Just brilliant.

You know, for a second, you even sounded
like Dad.

But you wouldn't tell Dad, though, would
you? Nah, you wouldn't tell Dad.

And David, oh, that one about the cow in
the principal's office.

Oh, you gotta tell me about that one
someday.

Can you believe that creep back there,
Mr.

Gillette? All the things he said about
our family. Boy, that guy's got some

nerve.

You know, you got a lot of nerve.

And you got mush for brains.

Not only did you get caught, but you got
caught doing something pretty stupid.

Now, I'm not going to tell Dad, dummy,
but by the time I'm finished with you,

you're going to wish I had.

What? You don't attack Yakutsk and I
won't move into Africa and break up your

continent. Come on, no fair making
treaties.

Well, that's all right, but then you
have to give me Kamchatka, okay? No

treaties. Ladies, I hate to break up
your war, but have any of you seen Abby?

No, Dad, I haven't seen her since I got
home.

Sorry, Dad.

Why don't you check Tommy? He might
know. Okay, Mary, it's a deal. All

What? That means, Joanie, I'm going to
attack you in Ukraine from Iceland. All

right. All right, okay.

You guys are going to pay for this.

Do you know where Abby is?

Uh, no, no. I came in late myself.

Nice.

Hi, anybody home?

Uh, yeah, Dad. Come on in.

Am I interrupting anything?

No, not really.

I'm just trying to figure out what makes
this Prager and Schiffman such hot

stuff. Oh.

Do you know where Abby is?

No, I don't know where she is, but I
have a pretty good idea who she's with.

With your boyfriend again?

Yeah.

Listen, do you mind if I borrow this
book?

Suddenly I have a burning desire to find
out more about Prager and Schiffman.

I must have dozed off.

This is a fascinating reading, huh?
Yeah, gripping.

The butler didn't do it.

So why this sudden interest in reading
score correlation?

Well, I was just lying around, so I
thought... The truth?

Because of you.

Me.

That's right. I thought if I could
relate to this, maybe I could start

to you.

Tom, that is so silly.

I thought we already related.

And on things a lot more important than
educational theory.

Maybe. But on some levels, we don't
relate at all.

You know, there's more than a few years
between us.

What brings this up all of a sudden?

Oh, I don't know.

A lot of dumb things, I guess.

Things like my yearly physical.

Things like you and Elizabeth practicing
all the latest dance steps.

Things like you and Martin hitting it
off so well.

I see. So, um, you're worried about
Martin, too, huh?

No, why would I worry about that kid?
I'm not worried. I mean, I'm worried or

I'm concerned about you and me.

You know, to some people, more than a
few years is like a generation gap.

If a few years were a generation gap,
then I wouldn't have much to say to

either, would I?

Maybe that's my point.

You're not making very much sense.

I know.

Let's drop it, huh?

I'll go upstairs to Betty. You coming?

In a little while. I have a little bit
of work to do still.

Good night.

Good night.

Oh!

Tell it to the judge.

No, I'm going to. Dad!

Will somebody please tell me what
happened to the water?

Yeah, no kidding. You created a monster.

Nicholas. Yes, Dad?

You're fired.

But I was only trying to follow orders.

I will turn it back on.

Thanks.

All right, shoot.

4 .51.

5 .26.

Mm -hmm. 3 .87.

Mm -hmm.

6 .45.

Mm -hmm.

Ah, here's one you're going to love.

11 .47.

This has got to be wrong.

I'm going to double -check that.

Hello.

Hi, Susan.

I made you some hot coffee. I thought
you'd like it.

Oh, thanks, but we've already had, like,
half a pot.

Thank you.

Did you double -check the 11 .474? I
did, and it correlated.

Well, all right.

Hudge it.

So how are we doing?

One more section to go.

Yeah. I can't believe it.

We're actually getting it done.

You can't. You're incredible.

Me? What do you mean, me? How about we,
us, you know?

We're in this together. I know, but I
couldn't have done it without you. Oh,

would have met.

Anyway, it's been very rewarding for me.

And I'm going to make it even more
rewarding. Yeah?

I'm putting your name on this paper next
to mine.

Oh, Martin, you can't do that. It's your
theory.

It's your data.

Yeah, but you can't refuse. You've
already done the work.

I don't know what to say.

Don't say anything.

Anyway, it's all been said right here.

Abby? Oh, Mr. Bradford, hi.

Abby's on the screen port. She's calling
you material.

I hope my plate banging didn't wake you
up.

No, no, I wasn't asleep.

How's the project coming?

Winding down.

We'll finish by Saturday.

with one big push tomorrow.

I guess it's like having a baby.

After nine long months, then the real
work finally starts.

I don't know how you two do it.

The long hours, the pressures of the
deadline.

It's a lot easier with two people.

When one of us gets discouraged, the
other one picks up the slack.

But the truth is, I couldn't have done
it without Abby.

She has the drive and the energy and
stick -to -itiveness of a teenager.

No kidding.

I'm serious.

You're a lucky man, Mr. Bradford.

I'd take care of her if I were you.

On the open market, she'd be snatched up
just like that.

I better hit the road.

Big day tomorrow.

And I'm sure this house has seen enough
of me today.

I'll just say goodnight to Abby.

I'd love a picture of it.

She looks so peaceful.

I guess everyone has their limits to how
much they can take.

Definite limits.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Well, Tony, what do you expect me to do?
March in there, pull him apart, and

then challenge Martin to a duel? I would
have.

You say that sitting here now, but if
you'd been there last night, it would

been a different story.

What are we gonna do?

What can we do?

I don't know.

All I know is that it's not Susan being
jealous anymore. I mean, there's a lot

more at stake.

Wait. Boy, you guys, am I glad Dad can't
necklace. Let me tell you something.

There ain't nothing like a hot foam in a
shower.

What are you staring at? Did I shrink or
something?

No.

Oh, we weren't staring at you, Susan.

Were we staring?

No, we weren't staring.

You were staring.

Oh, well, actually, you caught us. We
were discussing... Prager and Schiffman.

Yeah. No.

Yeah, well, you see, Joanie was just
telling me that... Joanie, you tell her

what you were telling me.

Well, I was telling her that Dorothy
Prager and Wilhelm

Schiffman were...

It's Wilhelm Prager and Dorothy Shipman.

Yeah.

Whatever. Anyway, do you know that they
were married to other people

until they were married to each other?

You're kidding.

No, I'm dead serious.

Well, anyway, according to Abby, maybe
it was Martin. It doesn't matter.

They share everything.

Well, anyway, Dorothy and Walhelm were
spending so much time together doing

research, analyzing data, you know,
going over projects that one day just

all too much for them.

So they ran away together?

Yep. That's what they did.

Gee, I wonder if they took their
research with them.

Hmm. I wonder.

Have a nice day, Dad.

Yeah.

How are you feeling?

Just fine.

How are you?

Fine, fine.

I haven't seen much of you lately.

Everything going well?

Yeah.

Real good.

How about you?

No complaints.

Good.

Hi.

Bye. Gotta run.

Fabi's certainly feeling chipper this
morning.

Yeah.

in five minutes.

Come in.

I'll expect you here after school today
and all weekend.

But, David, this is the apartment. I
mean, the whole apartment. It'll take me

days, several days.

Right. But that's slavery.

Right. Slavery is against the
Constitution.

So is drilling holes in locker room
walls.

But so is putting a cow in the
principal's office.

Uh -huh. But I didn't get caught.

Don't forget to lock up on your way out
and do a good job because I'd hate to

see you have to do a second coat

Definite limits

Mr. Bradford. This thing has gone on
long enough.

Yeah, it certainly has.

Hi.

You know, I could use a vacation after
all of this.

Alone.

Sorry to disappoint you.

You too, Susan.

We've been too busy to order up the
champagne, and it's difficult to read

computer printouts by candlelight.

One thing led to another, and I don't
know. I just started to imagine things.

Is this what you had in mind?

No.

Oh, well, I guess I'd like to laugh, you
know.

I'd like to walk out of here in
righteous indignation.

But you look kind of cute.

You know, you're just standing there
like the perfect picture of the jealous

husband, you know.

You're kind of all embarrassed and
flustered and... You know,

Tom Bradford, if I didn't love you so
much...

Abby, I... No, no, don't apologize.

I hate apologies.

Besides, I'll let you in on an age -old
secret.

Most women lie for their husbands to
feel jealous and renowned.

I think so.

Yeah. Makes them feel kind of special.

You think so?

Yeah, just don't make a habit of it.

Okay.

Let's go.

Forget it.

How'd you like to come in and see my
dad?

I'd love to.

Hey,

Nicklin. You got a phone call while you
were out.

Oh, yeah? Who was it?

It was Missy Capleton.

Yuck.

She said she wanted to know if you had a
partner for the Citizenship Project.

She said something about giving you M's
for exchange?

No way. I already bought Freddie Ryan's
W's and traced them upside down.

That'll teach her to play hard to get.

Hi, Liz. How'd it go?

Some disco dance.

It was a Latin nostalgia evening, and
all they did was something called the

-cha. The cha -cha? Oh, now that's
dancing.

Now you're talking. Come on. I'll show
you how to do the cha -cha. No, Dad,

really. I know how tired you are. No,
no. I'm never too tired to do the cha

-cha. Now watch closely. Are you ready?

Cha -cha. Cha -cha -cha.

What's going on here?

Something called dancing.

Cha -cha -cha. Cha -cha -cha.
