All language subtitles for Eight Is Enough s02e25 Poor Little Rich Girl

Okay. Okay, bye -bye.

Hey, Nicholas, what you got in the box?

A present.

Yeah, from who?

A creep named Malcolm Swift.

He's across from me in school.

Well, if he's such a creep, how come he
gave you a present?

He says he wants to be my friend.

And you don't want to be his friend?

Not if I don't gotta be.

He's always sneezing on me and looking
at my spelling desk paper.

Oh, yeah, now I get it. Well, you know,
that means you really should give him

back the present.

Really? Why?

Well, because if you don't, that means
you'd be keeping it under false

pretenses. What does that mean?

Well, that means that it comes with
strings attached.

My present didn't come with strings
attached.

Nicholas, believe me, it did.

Uh -uh, you just think that because
you're older and you know everything.

I don't know everything.

Look, that present came with strings
attached, period.

Oh, yeah?

See for yourself.

Nicholas, take it away, please. Take it
away. I hate... Oh.

Never heard of a lizard with strings
attached to it.

Great -grandma Bradford's original
recipe.

All right?

Now, you have your choice of quiche,
canapé, or pâté.

Who's first?

How about you first?

Oh, are you kidding? It's bad luck for
the chef to taste his own creation.

Why is that?

You lose a lot of chefs.

Okay, in that case, I will go first.

It's, um, okay.

What do you mean, just okay?

Susan?

It's all right.

All right?

Hey, Tommy, listen, if you're hungry,
there's some hors d 'oeuvres you ought

try.

She's pretty good.

Ah, now there is a compliment in the
highest order. Oh, don't let it go to

head. You haven't even cooked yet.

Hey, Dad, can I borrow your tools?

Oh, sure. What's for, Nicholas?

Well, I want to build a coaster car like
Freddie Ryan's, so then I can race with

the guy.

A coaster car? Now, that's right up my
alley. What are your plans?

Well, I don't really have any plans. I
figured I'd make it up as I go along.

Oh, no, no, Nicholas, that's wrong.

I mean, if you want to do something
properly, you have to make plans.

That would be like me cooking without a
recipe.

Bad example, Dad.

Here, I'll show you. Look, make believe
this is your car, right? That's the

body.

And we take these crackers here, and we
make that the wheel.

See that? See the way I put that in
there? It looks just like a wheel.

And we take the other one over here.

See, make this the other wheel. And the
toothpicks are the axles that the wheels

go on. Here's the steering wheel right
here.

See that? Doesn't it look good?

And here's you, Nicholas.

See how sharp you are?

Somehow, Dad, I don't think Henry Ford
got his start this way.

You don't get it.

Thanks a lot.

I'm sorry, did I take the plane? Yes.

Well, look, I'm running kind of late.
I'll have to make it up to you.

How?

Roger.

Mommy.

Hold it.

Is there something wrong?

What are you, flipped out?

That was a tech.

A tech?

Oh, man, you are flipped out. Supposing
I didn't catch you?

I knew you would.

I trust you.

Absolutely not. I'd let you borrow too
many things, which you neglected to

return. Never.

Oh, yeah? What about my sweat socks?

Oh, yeah.

Well, you don't want me to return them
unwashed, do you?

Ew. You mean to tell me you haven't
washed them yet?

Well, you know.

Classic. This is classic.

Listen to yourself.

There's interaction, but no
communication.

Communication has nothing to do with
dirty socks, Joanie. Listen, but you

hear.

You touch, but you don't feel.

You talk, but you don't say anything.

That is exactly the closed -minded
attitude that stops communication.

At my improvisation class, we're
learning that self -awareness can open

whole new world.

I like the old one, thanks.

But that's the problem.

See, we just have to get in touch with
our feelings and with the wonderful

around us.

I mean, with this banister, this chair,
the desk. What are you going on about?

I don't know. Oh, gosh.

Well, I'm glad I'm in your world, not in
hers.

Let's get out of here. Oh,

no, you guys, I don't understand.

Well, I mean, you wouldn't understand
because you're not in touch.

Excuse me. These are the plans for the
East Main Street project for Mr.

Will you give them to Mr. Baker, please?

Right here?

Mr. Baker, these are for Mr. Jenkins.

Is lunch with your father on Monday
still on?

Ah, yeah, but could you move it ahead an
hour to one o 'clock, please, Jeannie?

Sure. If there's a problem, I'll call
you. Great, thank you.

How?

What'd you say?

How? Like, and how are you going to make
it up to me?

The parking space, remember?

Oh, I didn't recognize you without your
van.

Oh, look, I'm terribly sorry about
killing his face.

I guess it's one of my bad habits.

Oh, you have other bad habits?

Well, that depends on whether you
include talking to strange men as a bad

Hmm. One of the worst.

But I can fix that easily. My name's
David Bradford.

Andrea Jenkins.

Hi.

Waiter, uh, you Mr. Jenkins' daughter?

Guilty as charged.

One of three children, if you're
interested.

My father's a very determined man, and
when he wants, he gets.

He wanted a princess, and he didn't stop
till he had me.

Well, I admire determination.

Why? Do you always get what you want?

No, not always, but it's fun to try.

Well, I still have a couple of credits
to finish up before I get my degree, but

I decided to take a year off and try to
discover what I really want.

Do you like what you're doing?

Well, uh...

I've tried a few other things, but
nothing else measured up.

Whoa.

You got yourself a ticket.

Justice prevails.

I stole your space, and the law caught
up with me.

See what you get?

Hey, wait a minute. You must have 50
tickets back here.

Oh, yeah?

I never counted.

Hey, how about dinner sometime?

Fine. Hop in.

What, now?

Yeah, well, I said I'd make it up to
you.

Now's as good a time as any?

Yeah, I guess it is.

I think I've done sweeping now.

Oh, that's great, Nicholas.

Now, one of the first things you have to
learn about building is you must have a

clean work area.

I know, Dad. You told me. Yeah, but it
can't be stressed enough, you know.

Isn't there something else I can do? I
already swept twice.

Oh, that's good. I'll tell you what.
When you're through sweeping, why don't

organize the tools, and then I'll know
what we have to work with, all right?

Boy, there's a lot to do before you get
to the good stuff.

Anyway, I'd rather be working outside
all day than cooped up in the office,

that's for sure.

Guess I'm allergic to fluorescent
sunlight, forest air, wind.

Oh, you sound like my father, the rugged
individualistic type.

I don't know.

From the look of his surroundings today,
he didn't look too rugged.

Oh, well, don't let the shag carpeting
fool you. When you meet him, oh, and I'm

sure you will, take a good look at his
hands.

He's got a sheriff's caliper.

Guess he worked pretty hard to get where
he is, huh?

So why don't you drive?

I'd rather watch you than the road.

Sure.

Hey,

don't be afraid to drive her hard. She's
made for it.

Now, you've got to reach way down and
get to your real feelings, okay?

And we can't communicate with each other
from a void.

Okay?

You ready to try the exercise?

Okay.

Now, Nicholas, I want you to tell me
exactly what you feel about me.

You... You're a pig.

I see.

Well, that's good.

That's very good. It's very honest.

And I can accept that.

Now, now for the important question.

How do you feel about you?

Me?

Yes.

Well, I like me most of the time, except
when I have a stomachache. Then I'm a

pain.

I didn't know you handled this thing
like it was made for you.

Well, I didn't mean to get carried away.

No, I loved it.

There's nothing like a strong hand to
make a woman feel at ease.

Car's built for speed, but it's not much
in the comfort area.

Well, I guess you better be going.

I'm glad I stole your parking place.

I'm glad you made it up to me.

What would you say if I told you I've
only just started making it up to you?

Well, I guess I'd say follow me.

I'll try and keep up.

What would Saturday be like without the
morning paper, a hot cup of coffee, and

a good hug?

Like a day without sunshine.

Do you believe in love at first sight?

No.

How about at second sight?

Getting warmer.

And what's on your agenda for today?

Nothing special.

Thought I'd play it by ear.

Good. Then you're coming with me.

Where? The club, darling. I have a
standing game every Saturday morning.

Oh, champagne at 10 o 'clock?

Beets prune juice.

You're late.

I was held up.

I can tell by whom.

Kendall Roberts, meet David Bradford.

How do you do?

Hello.

What time should I pick you up?

Why don't I have Kendall drop me off
later? That'll be easier.

Okay, but then I better go change or
we're going to lose our court. Okay.

Have a good game. Hey, I'll be at my
folks' house. I'll leave you the

Well, Andrea usually keeps her
boyfriends away from me.

I hope I'll be seeing more of you.

Yeah, me too.

See you later.

Oh,

boy,

Nicholas, this is really shaping up.
Wait till your buddies see you pull up

this. Can I put the wheels on yet?

No, no, no. I have to finish the body
and secure the axle.

I mean, you have to do one step at a
time. But when it's completed, you'll

the satisfaction of the job well done.

Hi, Tom.

Hey, Nicholas.

Oh, wait. We're working hard. Yeah.

Well, what are you making, Tom?

Side sawdust.

It's a cocktail card, Dr. Max.

Oh, yeah?

I haven't seen one of these in years.

This is quite a project you're
undertaking, Nicholas.

It's been pretty easy so far.

What kind of steering are you going to
use? It's going to be rope steering.

That's ancient, Tom.

No modern -day self -respecting coaster
car would be put dead without a proper

steering mechanism. Look.

Sink the shaft through here, right and
secure it through there, and then

the ropes, bringing them together at the
base.

Oh, thanks, Greg.

I never would have thought of that.

Hey, he saved us, right, Nicholas?

Hiya. Wow, you got a new car.

I wish.

It's pretty nifty, isn't it? Yeah.

Well, don't I get to sit in it?

Only if your hands are clean. It's
borrowed.

David, can I talk to you a second, you
know, man to man? Because you know a lot

about dads and cars and stuff, right?

Okay.

What's the problem?

Well, I asked Dad for a little help on a
coaster car scene, and he's doing all

the work, and I'm doing nothing. Dr.

Max is even doing more than me.

I see.

You know, when I was about your age, I
got an electric train for Christmas.

It was loaded.

Tracks, engines, cattle cars, the works.

Once Dad got his hands in it, I couldn't
get near it.

So what did you do?

Nothing.

You finally got tired of playing with
it. I'm sure the same thing will happen

with your coaster car.

Thanks, David.

Yeah. David, how long did it take?

Before you got tired of it?

I think around summertime.

Stop it.

the Bradford house? Sure is. What can I
do you for?

Oh, I'm supposed to meet David here. I'm
Andrea Jenkins.

Well, hi, Andrea Jenkins. I'm Susan
Bradford, David's number three.

You're practicing your forehand, huh?

Yeah. Not as good as the real thing, but
man, it's getting so hard to get a

tennis court these days.

Oh, well, that doesn't have to stop you.

Maybe we can get a game up sometime at
my club.

You belong to a private club?

Mm -hmm.

Huh. Should I bring my own quarters?

Your quarters?

Yeah, you know, you put the quarters in
the machine and they make the lights

work. No, the quarters are on me.

All right.

I'll show you in.

Jenkins. Is that the same Jenkins like
in the Jenkins Fine Arts building at the

university? The same.

It's quite a building.

Oh, yeah, but between you and me, I
think it was a tax loss.

Oh, that should be my worst problem.

Don't complain, Tom. You have eight tax
deductions.

Not anymore, I don't. That big one over
there moved out on me.

Cost me 750 smackers every April.

Sorry about that. Yeah, you should be.

Abby, I don't think we should feed him
anymore.

Oh, I don't know. I don't think he eats
that much.

Hey, that's their way of inviting us
over to dinner. How about it? Oh, David,

I'd love to, but I went ahead and made
plans for us. We're meeting Kendall and

her boyfriend at the club tonight.

Oh. Well, look, don't sweat it. You
know, we'll do it again.

Having dinner with this family is kind
of a hard act to follow anyway.

That'd be terrific.

And thanks.

We really should go. We still have to
get dressed.

It was nice meeting you.

Come back any time.

Thanks anyway. Bring her back.

Yeah, I will.

See ya.

You didn't tell me you'd made plans.

Well, there's lots of things I haven't
told you.

I'm a woman of mystery.

No, she left for an early tennis date
with Andrea. Andrea, what's her name?

Nancy, come on!

What? You know you have no consideration
for anyone?

Well, anyone who eats all her meals
while talking on the phone has no right

throw stones. Oh, well, at least I have
manners. Well, then why don't you use

them for a while?

You guys are really incredible, you
know?

It's only been a few days and you've
forgotten completely about really

to each other, not just talking at each
other. We weren't talking to you.

Well, you weren't talking to each other
either.

Come on, why don't you try another
approach?

What do you suggest?

Dueling? No.

Role reversal.

Now, come on, it's really easy. You just
assume each other's roles, and that way

you get to see what the other person's
point of view is firsthand.

Well, who would want to be her?

No, come on, just try it. Now, you see
Nancy in the bathroom, and you be

Elizabeth in the hall, okay?

Now, you're Elizabeth, and you just tell
her how you saw her. Okay.

Nancy, I just have to use the bathroom
so I can brush my long, gorgeous,

beautiful hair before I use the
telephone.

No way, Elizabeth, absolutely not. I can
hog the bathroom all I want. After all,

I did loan you my best sweater, didn't
I? Oh, Nancy, there you are, throwing it

up to me again like you always do.

There, you see?

You see?

Open it. It's a present.

Andrea, how'd you get in here?

Your manager liked my smile.

Actually, I told him I was one of your
sisters and he never knew the

Andrea.

Tell me I did wrong later. First open
your present.

Andrea, I can't accept this. It's
expensive.

Don't sell yourself short, David
Bradford.

Hey, you're worth that.

And more.

Go ahead, try it on.

Susan, help me pick it out.

It's beautiful.

Come on, let's give it a trial run.

What? Where?

Never mind.

Just follow directions. You're driving.

We're almost there.

It's not another leather jacket, is it?

Close your eyes.

Close your eyes.

Hey,

you got it now.

One giant step up.

Okay, you can open your eyes now.

I think I don't get it. Oh, but you do.

We do.

My father's company holds the lease. I
convinced him to let us have it.

Us?

Isn't it perfect?

You know, it might have been nice if
you'd taken the time to ask me.

I wanted to surprise you.

Well, that was quite a surprise, all
right.

I mean, I don't recall discussing plans
to live together.

And that's the type of discussion you
don't usually forget.

I just thought, well, since we spend so
much time together anyway... Andrea...

Andrea, spending time together and
sharing an apartment are not quite the

thing.

Yeah, I know.

David, I'm sorry. I guess I sort of
jumped the gun, didn't I?

It's just that I don't know. I let my
feelings get the best of me.

It's always been my problem. I leap
before I look.

David, do you hate me?

Of course not.

I wouldn't blame you if you did.

It's just that, I don't know, we're just
so good together.

Andrea, it's okay.

David, I don't want to lose you.

Hi, Nicholas. It's shaping up, huh?

Yeah. Hey, Dad, you want to play a game?
A game? What kind of a game?

Well, Johnny's been doing this really
neat stuff thing, and I'd like to show

to you.

All right, go ahead. Show it.

Okay.

First, I've got to bring this box over
here.

See, I put it down, and I stand on it so
I can be like your size, and you stand

on your knees to be my size.

Huh? Just do it, Dad. It'll be really
easy, okay? So you're me, and I'm you.

All right. Okay.

Nicholas, you better sweep up all those
shavings. Remember, a good workshop is a

clean workshop.

All right, Daddy.

Nicholas. Okay, Dad.

Say, Dad, do you really like this game?

Yep. Think we can play it tomorrow?

I don't think we have to, Dad.

Huh? I read you loud and clear.

You can still help, though, Dad.

No, no.

You'll get along.

David.

Mr. Jenkins.

How are you, son? Good to see you.

Hi.

Can I get you a drink?

No, thank you.

Sit down, be comfortable.

How's the East Main project coming?

Fine. Good, I'm glad to hear it.

You're doing a good job. As a matter of
fact, an excellent job.

At the risk of a cliche, I suppose
you're wondering why you're here, huh?

Yeah, frankly, I am.

Well, to tell you the truth, I heard a
lot about you and I wanted to meet you.

Mr. Jenkins, um...

Did Andrea put you up to this? Oh, come
on, David. You know my daughter doesn't

run my business for me.

Andrea did tell me a good bit about you,
but let's face it, we'd have had this

talk sooner or later.

Look, son, I started at the bottom just
like you did.

And I want to build this company right
from the bottom up.

I want young, independent, tough people
like yourself. People who aren't afraid

to get a little sawdust on their
clothes.

Come here, I want to show you something.

Come here, look at this.

This is the new downtown shopping mall.

Rejected costs $35 million.

It'll take two years to put up.

And, frankly,

I'm going to need about 40
subcontractors.

Wait a second. I think Andre neglected
to tell you I don't have my contractor's

license.

Well, the project doesn't start for at
least six months.

Mr. Jenkins, it's going to take me
longer than six months to get my

That depends, son. You see, I have some
friends on the review board, and we

might just possibly speed things up a
bit.

Mr. Jenkins, that's very kind of you.

Don't make any snap judgments. I don't
want you to make any decisions now. You

go on home, and you think about it, and
then you come back to see me, okay?

Okay. We'll have a nice long chat.

Maybe we'll have lunch and we'll get to
know each other a lot better.

Thank you. Thank you for coming.

See you, David.

Take a look at that. What's happening,
Mama?

It's a beautiful day for a picnic, don't
you think?

Yeah, lovely.

Would you bother to ask me if I wanted
to have a picnic?

No, but... No, you just assumed I'd be
thrilled, right?

Well, aren't you?

No.

Look, I thought we got this straight. I
don't like having my life arranged for

me. I was not arranging.

I was just trying to do something
spontaneous. Do I have to write a memo

time I get an idea?

Look, why don't we just cool this for a
while, all right?

That's fine with me.

You just let me know when you can fit me
into your busy schedule.

Hey, Andrea.

What do you want me to do with your
Porsche?

Just hang on to it.

I'll let you know when I need it.

That was a great set.

Yeah. Hey, how do you get so much
topspin off your serve?

Andrea, you seem a little out of it
today. You all right?

I'm just tired.

Oh, I might as well tell you the truth.

David and I had a fight today.

Oh, no. What happened?

Oh, nothing happened.

He's just so suspicious. Every time I do
anything nice, he thinks I'm trying to

take over his life.

I mean, what is it with him, Susan?

He's always been like that, so
independent.

If you only knew how many women tried to
lay their hooks on him, you'd know why,

too. Yeah.

I guess I've been pushing a little too
hard.

I better lay back and give him some
room.

Listen, Susan, I don't want this problem
with David to have any effect on you

and me.

Well, why should it?

Well, I don't know.

Divided loyalty, that type of thing.

Look, Andrea, my friendship with you has
nothing to do with David.

In fact, I'd like you to come to dinner
tonight.

I'm inviting you, not David.

Oh, that might be a little awkward.

Why? David probably won't even be there,
and if he does show up, well, that's

his problem.

Thanks, Susan. I'd love to come.

Tick -tock, sir.

The dinner's delicious.

My compliments to the chef.

Well, the chef is sitting right across
the table from you.

It's delicious.

I'm Mary.

That's Tony.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, hey, it's cool. You know, even after
all these years, I still mix them up.

I think we all ought to wear these
little numbers, just like football

And then when our guests come over, we
can just give them these little

scorecards, and they can look on the
scorecard. Tommy!

I was just making a joke.

Anyway, you were saying?

Oh, well, we were skiing in Switzerland
that summer.

And Daddy?

Nobody's talking.

Because, Nicholas.

Because what?

Because this family's not in touch with
its feelings. That's why.

Come on, you guys.

Come on. Let's be open. Let's be honest
about this. Let's talk about what's

under this silence, huh?

Come on. Who wants to talk first?

It's not so hard.

All right. Okay, I'll talk first.

I think that this whole situation is
just because of a lack of communication,

right? Huh?

So, let's communicate.

Come on, it's not so hard. You can.

Come on, Nancy, you look like you have
something to say.

All right, I'll start.

I don't think Susan should have gotten
involved in David's private affairs.

See? No, I don't see.

And I didn't do anything of the sort.

Then why did Andrea leave here so upset?

Well, that wasn't my fault. She just
happens to be a friend of mine, and I

invited her to dinner.

Oh, come on, Susan. You just dig that
snooty tennis club of hers.

I just happen to dig playing tennis,
Elizabeth.

Well, if it wasn't for Andrea, you
wouldn't be playing at the private club.

Just what is it you're trying to say,
Nance?

Face it, Susan. She used you to get to
David.

Used me?

Hey, listen, you guys, my friendship
with Andrea has nothing to do with

Susan, I might consider asking David
that first.

Oh, I just might consider talking to
him. Two of you would stop acting like

a child. Oh, you're the child, Susan.
Oh, says who?

Hey, hey, come on, calm down.

No, no, no, go on, get it out, flow with
it, that's good.

Yeah, I'll get it out, I'll flow with
it. Now, you want to say something, just

go ahead and say it, Nan. Good, Susan,
go on, emote.

Oh, no, no, please, don't emote. Do not
emote in my living room. Susan.

What?

David wants to speak to you on the
telephone. Well, that's just fine,

would love to talk to him.

Is that what you call communicating?

No, no.

That's called yelling and screaming.

You wanted to talk?

Talk.

What was Andrea doing at the house?
Eating dinner.

You invited her?

Correct.

Do you have any idea how awkward it was
for me to walk in there and see her

there? David, I am sorry it was awkward
for you. I wasn't expecting you to show

up.

Susan, I am trying to cool things with
Andrea, and you asking her to the house

is not helping. She happens to be my
friend.

Oh, I see.

She's pulled one of her little numbers
on you, too.

David, did it ever occur to you that
Andrea might actually like me?

Oh, come on, Susan. I know Andrea.

She's a poor little rich girl who
usually gets what she wants, and what

wants right now is me.

I'm going to let you in on a little
secret.

The whole world does not revolve around
David Bradford. There are people who are

not rearranging their lives for you.

I am sorry if I ruined your day.

Maggie, that's great.

Well, when did he ask you that?

Elizabeth, get off the phone.

I'm expecting a phone call from Rick.

Nancy, if you would stop interrupting me
every two seconds, I could finish,

okay?

I'm sorry, Maggie. Now tell me, what did
he say?

Jody, will you get her off the phone?
She won't listen to me. That's nice.

Well, did you really tell her? What do
you mean, did I really tell her? From

deep down inside you. From the gut.

Elizabeth. Get off the phone!

Will you stop shouting?

No, shout back at her, Elizabeth. Give
it to her from the gut.

Nancy, get off my back.

You're a telephone.

You're now!

Oh, you're a brat. Judge Rad.

Oh, listen, now, I'm going to kill
somebody.

Now, do you understand what I'm saying?

Oh, Dad, they were finally
communicating.

Oh, please, I've had it up to here with
that communication.

I mean, it's destroying my mind and my
eardrums. From now on, we're just going

to revert to being hypocritical, closed
-mouthed, honest, real people.

We'll just grunt at each other,
inarticulately.

Just a second.

Business or pleasure?

Want to have breakfast?

Sure, come on in.

I can't offer you anything fancy.

All I have are coffee and donuts.

Oh, listen, that's fine.

It sure beats emoting and
communications, which is what I've been

lately.

Sorry about last night.

Yeah, you ought to be.

Now, wait a second. If you've come here
to dump on me, I can do without it.

I got quite an earful from Susan last
night. So I got her.

Look, it's not my problem anymore. It's
Susan's.

She invited Andre to dinner last night,
not me.

It's become the entire family's problem.

What's the story with this girl, anyway?

Simple. She's manipulative and
possessive, and she's trying to put a

on my life.

Oh, yeah, but you've gotten out of
chokeholds before. Why is this girl

different?

I don't know.

I'll tell you what I think.

I think that you like this girl more
than you're willing to admit.

I also think that you like the fringe
benefits.

Fringe benefits.

That's right.

The car, the leather jacket, the tennis
club, all that goes with the package,

doesn't it?

That's the problem.

David, you started this thing. Somehow
it's all wound up in our laps.

Now, come on, you're old enough to clean
up your own mess, right?

Thanks for the coffee.

Donuts were a little stale.

I have to do it myself.

At my own speed and on my own terms.

David, there are a lot of people in this
world who'd like to have what you just

turned down.

And frankly, I'm not used to having my
job offers refused.

But I do admire your honesty and your
convictions.

Tell you what.

When you get your contractor's license,
come see me.

Thank you. I'll keep that in mind. Sure.

And, David, there's someone else we both
know who doesn't like to be refused.

I hope you'll be as straight with her as
you've been with me.

Gee, lady, you're leaning on my car.

It's a nice car.

Thanks.

You want to drive it?

There's a quiet little place I know.

Can I give you direction?

David, I don't understand.

What went wrong?

Nothing went wrong.

I don't know. It all just happened too
fast.

It went from first to fourth without
passing through the middle gears.

It was my fault.

No, it's nobody's fault.

You're just trying to be nice. I pushed
too hard, didn't I?

Well, it's taken me a while to realize
this, but you can't be pushed unless you

want to be pushed.

Yeah, but I was trying to buy you.

Cars, clothes, jobs.

And I took it, and I liked it.

I didn't want to admit I liked it. It
doesn't go with the image I've set for

myself.

Part of me really dug it.

You see, I thought I had it all
together.

My life was a nice little self
-contained system with no room in it for

contradictions.

You were a contradiction.

You made me realize I still have some
growing up to do.

I'm grateful to you for that, Andrea.

Thank you, David.

Thank you for being honest.

Thank you for helping me do some growing
up, too.

It's going to be hard giving you up.

Do you think maybe someday?

Yeah, maybe someday.

I'd better be going.

Oh, here.

I'd like you to keep that.

No strings attached.

Brought 700 entries from 30 states, Abu
Dhabi, Hong Kong, even Florence, Italy.

Some were written on napkins, one
arrived as a telegram. All entries from

Hemingway buffs who were convinced...
Oh, hi, Dave. How's it going?

According to the judges, most entries
were actually too good to be comically

bad. Come on.

What are you doing?

Come on, David. Come on. Just slam it,
sir. Come on. What are you doing?

Okay, okay. I'm coming. I'm coming.

David! Hi.

Oh, David, what are you... Come on.

What's going on?

I don't know. David just kidnapped
Susan.

Oh? Well, find out what his demands are
and tell him I'm willing to negotiate.

No more than 50 cents.

David! In you go.

All right, David, what's going on?

Tennis? Now?

Well, it depends.

Depends on what?

If you've got any quarters.

What for?

The lights.

Friends?

Yeah.

Until we get to the courts.

All present and accounted for. Come on,
Nicky, we're ready for the big surprise.

Wait a minute, don't you think we should
have a bit of a fanfare?

Oh, yeah.

Look at that

little stovepipe.

Okay, Nicholas, let's go.

No, I want you to be the first to just
drive it, Dad. Me?

Oh, boy, that's a great honor.

Thanks, Nicholas.

Okay, wish me luck.
