I bet we've been together for a million years.

And I bet we'll be together for a million more.

Oh, it's like I started breathing on the night we did.

And I can't remember what I ever did before.

What would we do, baby, without us?

What would we do, baby, without us?

And there ain't no nothing we can't love each other through.

What would we do, baby, without us?

What do you got there, Dad?

Well, I've got Teddy Bear, Two Rattle, the Cuddle Bunny, and Little Ducky.

Well, you can play for five minutes.

And then you gotta go night -night.

Alex, we're just trying to get an inventory of the baby toys we have, so

know what we need to buy.

Well, what's that, Dad?

This. is the mobile that used to hang over your crib. I remember we

with a lot of different things until we found the one symbol that would calm you

down.

Turn it on.

Continental Telegraph, up three points.

25 cents.

Cintram Corporation, down 14.

It still works.

When you're finished with your nap, take a look through that catalog there.

We're trying to pick out a new crib.

Come on, Dad. What do I know about cribs? A crib is a crib.

All right.

We're going to go with that one.

You're going to go with the snooze a lot?

What's the matter with this one here, the inky binky betty bike?

I don't know. That one scares me a little.

The inky bink looks like a bear to put together.

Whoa, whoa, more food for Mom?

I know. It's getting ridiculous.

This is the fourth meal Mom's eaten in two hours.

Try to be a little more understanding, Mel. She's an energetic person. Now that

the doctor wants to stay off her feet, she's channeling all her energies into

eating.

Is Scott here yet? No, Jen, we told you. We'd call you when he gets here.

Oh, coming.

It's Mom again. She's getting a little demanding now.

You better hurry up and take that to her.

You don't want to miss Scott when he gets here.

What's the big deal? He was your goofy friend, not mine.

He wasn't goofy, Mallory. He just had glasses and braces and big ears.

Well, then I'll hurry back down.

No, that's all it is.

This is equipment from all the different sports Scott and I used to play

together. I thought I'd let him pick which one he wants to start with. Well,

Scott is in town for a college interview, Jennifer. I don't think he'll

time for the decathlon.

I know he'll want to play, Dad.

Before he moved away, the two of us were the first two kids outside every

morning and the last two kids in every night.

Yeah, but that was five years ago, Jen.

Scott is 17 years old now, you know. People slow down as they get older.

Their bones start to deteriorate with each passing year.

Look at Dad.

Thanks, coach.

He's here.

Scott, it's good to see you.

Jennifer. How are you?

Great. Look at you.

Well, hello, Scott.

Welcome back.

Thanks, Mr. Keaton. Hey, Scotty. Hey, Alex.

How's it going?

Ah, king of the hill.

Top of the heap, numero uno.

You haven't changed a bit, Alex.

What'll it be, Scott?

Baseball, soccer, tennis, Greco -Roman wrestling.

What do you mean?

I thought we'd play some sports just like we did when we were kids.

Oh, sure.

Sounds like fun.

You two have a good time. Okay.

Hi, Scott.

Hi, Mallory.

Boy, have you changed.

Well, you changed too. I mean, you grew into your ears and...

waiting for?

Uh, let's hold off on this soccer for a while, okay, Jennifer?

Good idea.

Um, do you want to go down to your old house, or maybe we could just sit on the

lawn and talk about old times?

Uh, yeah, sure.

Go ahead and start without me, and I'll be right there. Okay.

Hey,

you're gonna love pasta Alex.

Well, I hope it's better than pancakes Alex, Alex.

Your mother says she can smell the pasta Alex, Alex, from all the way upstairs.

Yeah, well, it travels well, Dad.

Hey, what's all this?

Just a few things for Scott to see, pictures of us when we were kids and

like that.

He didn't have a chance to look at them yesterday.

Whoa, whoa, there she is. You want me to take this up to Mom, Dad? No, no, no,

I'll do it. She denies it, but I think she kind of enjoys being waited on by

husband. Yeah, they all do, Dad.

You know, they may say things have changed, but basically they're happiest

they're barefoot and pregnant.

Oh, coming of late.

Sounds serious.

This won't be enough.

Girls, give me a hand.

Mallory, get the peanut butter.

Jennifer, the garlic bread and the antipasto. Oh, and Mallory, the

That ought to hold her for a while.

Hey.

Hey, Alex.

Hey, Scotty. What are you cooking?

You better your life.

Hey, where's Mallory?

I don't know. I don't know. It's upstairs or something.

So, hey, Scott, are you up for your interview tomorrow?

Yeah, I'm pretty excited.

Yeah, listen, let me give you a couple tips, okay?

I am... Well, hey, I'm kind of a legend at that college.

And so I think you should flip my name into the conversation as much as you

Oh, why don't you take this with you?

This is a picture of you, Alex.

Yeah.

You know, you can keep that.

Thanks.

Hey, listen, Mallory must be about what, 17 years old now, huh?

I don't know. I don't know. She's in her teens. I don't know.

Another thing, another thing. Listen, you want to be serious, right? But not

overly serious.

They like you to be a good student, but fun -loving, like me.

So, uh, is anybody seeing Mallory on a regular basis?

Yeah, yeah, I am, and I've had about all I can take.

Mom really loved the pasta. Alex, Alex, never seen anyone eat that fast.

It was incredible.

I was afraid to put my hands near her mouth.

Hi, Jennifer.

Mallory. Mr. Keaton. I was just giving Scott a couple of tips for his

Ooh, let me give you the opposite advice I give out before his interview.

Just be yourself.

Okay, dinner? She served.

Oh, great. I can't tell you how hungry I am.

I love a man with a healthy appetite.

I guess she's still hungry. I'll take her some more of the pasta, Alex.

Alex?

Hey, what's all this stuff?

Just a few pictures of us when we were kids and stuff like that.

Are there any pictures of you in here, Mallory?

I don't think so.

Hey, wait a second.

Look, there's Mallory.

No, no, that's us when we dressed up for Halloween as Miss Piggy and Pyramid the

Frog. No, no, no, in the back. Look, that's Mallory's foot.

Well, Scott, I was just thinking.

The Indians are playing a twilight doubleheader this Saturday. Do you want

go? Oh, sure.

Anyway, Mallory, we have a lot of catching up to do. This picture of your

really sparks the memories.

Yes, I was wondering if you have two tickets left for tonight's Indians game.

You have $35 ,000.

Well, I only need two.

Can you hold them for me, please?

My name is Jennifer Keaton.

Thank you.

Bye.

Any sign of Scott yet, Alex?

Uh, no, Jan, I haven't seen him.

Tonight, tonight, we're going to see the Indians play a twilight doubleheader

against the Seattle Mariners.

Whoa.

Clash of the Titans.

You want to come?

There are 35 ,000 extra tickets.

Uh, no, just, uh, give them to somebody else.

Scott and I are going to have a great time, Alex. He loves baseball, remember?

You used to count sometimes when we were kids.

Yeah, that's right, that's right. Remember that time I got that foul ball?

You know, I made that great diving catch and leaning over the railing?

You didn't make a diving catch.

That's right, that's right. It was a one -bouncer. It bounced once, it jumped

up, and I caught it.

No, you didn't.

Ah, rolled down the steps to me. It rolled down the steps right to me.

Alex, you bought that ball.

Remember, the store was really crowded. I had to leap over the stairs. Alex,

give it up. Okay.

I'm going to go in the garage and see if I can find some more pennants. Call me

when Scott comes.

Yeah.

Whoa, wait a minute. Coming.

Whoa, hey, Dad.

Give me a hand with this. All right, thanks.

What do you got in here?

A new tie?

It's the crib.

Come on, roll up your sleeves, Alex. We've got some work to do.

We? Yeah, it's been a while since you and I built anything together.

You can assemble a piece of furniture, can't you, Alex?

Of course I can.

All right, all right.

You'd be surprised how many guys can put together a simple kit.

Well, you're looking at a guy who can, Dad.

Let's see what we got here.

Uh -huh.

of you go? Oh, pretty well, I think.

I tried to mention Alex's name a few times. I hope they don't hold it against

you.

Hey, have you eaten yet?

No. How about dinner at Guido's?

Sure. All right.

Hey, champ. What happened to your baseball game?

Rained out.

Oh.

It's not raining.

I have a problem, Alex.

Jennifer, you're 11 years old.

You got a roof over your head?

You're fed every day?

You don't pay taxes?

What kind of problem could you possibly have?

The baseball game wasn't rained out.

Scott took Mallory out to dinner instead.

Well, maybe he forgot.

How could you forget about something like that?

Scott and I used to be best friends.

He never used to like Mallory at all.

Now it's the opposite.

What has Mallory got that I don't?

Put it this way, Jen.

A 17 -year -old guy will tend to have different tastes in girls than an 11

-old guy.

I mean, it's only natural.

At this point in his life, Scott is interested in girls who are more soft.

When did this happen to Scott?

Why did he have to change?

Well, it's nature, Jen.

Through none of our own doing, Mallory just happens to have that certain

intangible quality that attracts boys.

Boys who are helpless victims to the hormones.

Coursing through their veins.

Now, boys like Scott.

Can we put a stop to this?

It's too late, Jen.

It's all over for Scott.

And his kind.

That's not fair, Alex.

Yeah. There's nothing you can do about it, Jen.

My advice to you is that you just enjoy being a child for as long as you can.

I know I did.

It's about two weeks of my life.

You know, Mallory, it's really nice being here with you tonight.

Grazie, grazie.

That's terrific.

When did you learn to speak Italian?

Grazie, grazie.

Scott Hanley's table, please.

If you will follow me, signora.

Good evening, Scott. I thought I'd join you.

Mallory! How nice to see you.

Hi, Jen.

Jennifer, why are you dressed this way?

I'm a woman of many moods, Scott.

Young and playful one moment.

Sophisticated and deadly serious the next.

sure you can make room for your sister.

Well, Scott, what do you recommend?

The last time I was here, I found the pizza with bologna very much to my

Shall I go for it again?

I don't get it. Is this a joke or something?

I'm deadly serious, Scott. Pizza with bologna or not?

Jen, we already ordered.

Mallory, Scott needs his strength. He has Mormons coursing through his veins.

There'll be no talking about baseball tonight, Scott.

You know what I mean?

Not really.

You'll find tonight that I could be as soft as the next girl.

Buy you a drink?

All right, Jen.

Come here for a minute. No, you're making a spectacle of yourself.

Hey, listen, I think we ought to take you home now. I don't need you to take

home.

Are you okay, little girl?

I'm fine.

And I'm not a little girl.

Wait on my bike.

Well, Alex, what do you think?

Is she a beauty?

She is a beauty, Dad.

Although I'd feel a little better about her if we'd used all the parts she came

with.

How many are left over?

It came with 22 nuts, 22 bolts. We used six nuts and seven bolts.

That's not good.

Jennifer, where have you been?

I was upstairs playing dress -up in my room, and I heard Mrs. Obeck calling up

next door, so I wanted to say hi to her.

because I haven't seen her for such a long time.

So I leaned out my window, and I called to her, but she didn't hear me.

So I leaned out some more, and I fell out my window.

And I'm coming back in now. Good night.

Jennifer, Jennifer, your window is 20 feet off the ground.

You don't believe me, do you?

If you'll excuse me, I'd like to go talk to Mom.

Well, I'm sorry, honey. Your mom's asleep.

I'm sure you can talk to me.

It's not the same.

Dad, if you'll excuse us, I think she needs me right now. I'll take Dad.

Try to be a good brother and they spit on you.

Well, what's going on?

I made him a steak tonight, Dad.

What'd you do?

I walked in on Mallory and Scott's date at Guido's. I was such a fool out of

myself.

It happens. Sometimes it just happens.

I wanted Scott to like me so much. I thought if he got a good look at me in

dress, he'd leave Mallory.

He doesn't know what he's missing, Dad.

Come on.

Come on.

You cry.

That's good. You cry. I love you. What a... Scott, no.

He knows that he doesn't want to be with me.

Well, maybe you're too young to have a romance with someone like Scott.

I don't want a romance.

All I want is for things to go back the way they used to be.

Well, I'm afraid that can't happen, honey.

You and Scott had a very special relationship when you were younger.

Things change.

I'm so confused, Dad. I don't know the way I'm supposed to act.

Sometimes I feel really grown up.

Sometimes I feel like a little baby.

That's one of the great things about being 11.

You get to act any way you want.

You do that at my age. They put you away.

How did this happen to Scott?

He grew up and I didn't.

You grew up too, Jen.

I'm growing up right now.

Dad, we have something to talk about.

Okay. Uh, no problem. I was, uh... I was just about to go into the kitchen and

get me a handful of trail mix.

Love that trail mix.

I... I guess I made a big fool out of my cell phone.

Oh, no, you didn't. Hey, I didn't notice anything.

You must think I'm the biggest jerk in the world.

As long as Alex is around, you aren't even the biggest jerk in this house.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have barged in on your date.

Oh, no. Come on. I'm sorry.

I should have been more sensitive to the way you feel. You know, I knew you were

excited about Scott coming and everything.

I should have invited you to come along with us.

I may only be 11, but I know how many... how many people it takes to make a good

date.

Mallory? Huh?

What does it feel like to go out with boys?

Is it as much fun as playing soccer with them?

I don't know.

Well, it's a different kind of fun.

Just give yourself a little time, Jen. You're getting there.

I guess so.

You know, lately I've been feeling like we weren't friends. anymore.

We don't spend time together like we used to.

Hey, come on.

We'll always be friends.

It's just that we're growing up and our interests are changing. Yeah.

I'm not so crazy about it, though.

Do you want to go to the Cleveland Indians game with me tomorrow?

Oh, I'd love to. What time's kickoff?

Maybe we'll just go to the movies.

Okay.

We'll have a little baby sister soon, and we'll start all over again.

It'll be fun, Jen.

Hi, baby.

Hi, little sister.

We have a present for you.

Sit, Ubu, sit.

Good dog.
