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 kissed.

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?

Yo, Elyse, look alive.

Oh, Stephen.

They say that pregnant women can't catch.

It's an old wives' tale. Whoa.

You realize that this is the actual football I used 13 years ago to teach

how to throw?

I thought that was in the Hall of Fame.

Nope, Hall Closet.

I thought this was going to be a great weekend for all of us, Elyse. You and

girls up in the country, Alex and I here alone.

I'm really looking forward to it. Yeah, me too.

This is a very pivotal weekend in my relationship with the girls.

After the baby's born, I'm not going to have many opportunities to spend time

with them alone, you know, real quality time.

Oh, Stephen.

I made a surprise for the girls.

A complete photo history of our lives together as mother and daughters.

Keaton girls, oh, how we've grown.

I didn't know we were supposed to make things.

Oh, I've gone all out. I have a complete list of activities, topics of

conversation, a full collection of memorabilia.

Each item is specifically selected to spark memories and generate closeness.

What have you got besides the football?

Do you have any extra pictures?

Oh, that's okay. I'm sure Alex will be happy enough just to see his old ball.

That's all you've got, huh?

Jennifer's got some clay. Maybe I could build a scale model. Oh, that's okay,

Stephen. I'm sure he'll be happy with his football.

I don't know if we're doing the right thing.

Not telling the kids what the weekend is about.

Oh, I'm sure we are. Don't want to put any pressure on him. Let him think that

our only motive is to have a good time.

That could work.

Well, anyway, I'm not going to show the football to Alex now.

You know how he doesn't like to get too emotional in front of women.

Hide it. Give it to him at just the right moment when we're alone.

Good idea.

What you cooking, Dad?

Uh, souffle.

Okay, Mom, car's all packed. Let's get through it.

An entire weekend without boys.

I haven't had one of those since I hit puberty.

It's gonna be quite a test for me.

My prayers are with you.

All right, girls, let's go.

Keaton, girls, to the car.

Keaton, guys?

You're on your own.

Take care, honey. Have fun.

Dad? Yeah?

Your football's ready.

Hey, Alex.

Whoa!

What are you doing, Dad?

You know, you could break something.

Come on, Alex. What are you worried about? We got the house to ourselves,

the guys.

Let me see that arm.

Good talk, huh?

I'm sorry, Dad. No, no, no, it was my fault. I should have dove for it.

You know, uh, that's not just any ball, Alex. Yeah, I know, Dad. It's a ball

with glass on it.

That is the Bart Dar autograph mark.

You used to toss around in Lincoln Park when you were a kid.

Remember?

Not really, Dad, no.

Come on, don't you remember?

I taught you to throw with this ball.

Are you sure that was me? Sure, sure.

It was you. You were about five.

I used to take you down on Sundays after you finished watching Meet the Press.

Then afterwards,

we'd stop at the old Dairy Queen, get a couple of soft cones. You always got

extra sprinkles.

Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute.

That was a vacation we took to Colorado.

No, no.

It was here at Lincoln Park.

All right, all right, Dan. I'll take your word for it.

Those were good times, weren't they?

The best.

So, anyway, what do you say we go down there and toss the old pigskin around?

Dad, I'd have to change and everything.

Oh.

Yeah, well.

Well, this is it.

This is it? This is it?

This is it?

I know it's a little rough around the edges, but... important thing is we'll

together. We're going to have a great time.

Where's our room?

This is it.

Where's your room?

This is it.

Where's the bathroom?

If you say this is it, I'm leaving.

The bathroom is two cabins down.

Look, we're only going to be here for the weekend. We can make the best of it.

Well, I just will unpack.

No, no, let's leave the unpacking till later. I'm too excited.

Let's just sit down and have a wrap session.

with a w this is rap with an r uh it's a term we used in the 60s it means talk

but talk session didn't sound right so we used to say

never mind let's just sit down and talk

what do you want to talk about uh well um i want to talk about the

change that's going to happen in our lives when the baby comes home uh i want

know how How you feel, what your thoughts are, your fears, your

Tell me everything.

I don't want to change any diapers.

Good. This is good. I think this is exactly the kind of thing we want to get

in the open.

What else is on your mind, Mal?

Nothing.

Jennifer, what about you?

I mean, you've always been the youngest.

The baby, it's all going to change.

Do you have any special feelings that you want to discuss?

I'm still feeling a little carsick. I'm afraid I might throw up.

Thanks for sharing that with us, Jen.

She asked for my feelings. Not what she meant. You're okay.

Maybe this isn't the right time for a rap session. Maybe we can kind of ease

into that one later.

Oh, I've got an idea.

I was going to save this for tomorrow, but we're in the mood now. so why not?

I don't believe that you brought a photo album with you. Oh, this is not just

any photo album. This is an album that I made up of our history together as

mother and daughters.

Keaton girls.

Oh, how we've grown.

These are old pictures, Mom.

I know they're old pictures. That's the point.

Well, there's none in here.

See, not in this format.

They're still the same old pictures.

They are not the same old pictures. When you put them all together in one book,

they take on a totally different meaning.

Not that they show the joy and the closeness that we've shared down through

years. Now sit down and share the joy.

See, I got it. How about a game of chess, huh?

Yeah, okay, all right, Dad, if you really want to.

Okay, all right.

This is great.

All right, so play a few games of chess, and we'll go off for a real man's night

on the town, huh?

Get a couple of big steaks, very rare, and back here for brandy and cigars.

Hello.

Oh, hi.

Uh, Susie.

I'm fine, I'm fine.

You mean right now?

Well, as soon as you get kidding me, I mean, I'd love to.

But I can't.

No, no, I... It's just not possible.

No, well, thanks for calling.

Okay, bye -bye.

We're all set. Don't think you're gonna mop up the board with your old dad

tonight.

Got some new strategy lined up.

Go ahead. You move first, lad.

That, uh... That was Susie Farkin.

Susie Farkin?

Yeah.

You remember her? I had this big crush on her all the way through high school.

She wouldn't even talk to me then.

anyway she just uh she came into town to surprise the folks but uh they weren't

home so

she called me and invited me over

to her

um empty house

Now. Oh.

Oh, well, listen, Alex, if you'd like to go over there, believe me, I

understand.

No. No.

No, don't be silly, Dad.

No, no, my feelings for Susan Farkas were nothing more than a passing

crush. Come on, I'm over that.

No, I'd much rather just hang around here with you.

Okay. I mean, we're in the middle of a game here, you know?

It wouldn't be right for me to just pick up and leave in the middle of a game.

If the game were over, you know, then that would be a different matter

Whoa.

Whoa.

Whoa, Dad.

Holy cow, I didn't even... Whoa, nice move. Boy, you pulled that out of a hat.

Holy cow, boy, when I took your rook, your knight, your bishop, and your

I thought I had you beat, but boy, I didn't even see that.

Go ahead, Alex.

Go to Susie Farquhar's office.

Don't mind if I do, Dad.

Dad?

Thanks.

And when I brought you home from the hospital, Jennifer, Mallory wanted you

sleep in her toy chest with her dolls.

You ever been up...

Were you talking to me?

Apparently I was talking to myself.

Mom, can I go out and see if there are any kids we met the last time we were up

here? Oh, great idea. Maybe somebody brought a radio.

Oh, wait a minute. This is not exactly what I had in mind when I planned this

weekend. Don't worry, Mom. We'll be back before dark.

Aren't you and the girls getting along all right? Oh, oh, yes. Oh, we're having

a wonderful time.

Girls, I'll be over there with you in just a minute. Oh, go ahead. You can

listen to that old photo album one more time.

Oh, you're welcome.

I tell you, ever since I got here, it's been go, go, go.

I'm having the same thing.

just as soon as I finish talking with your mother.

Oh, my God.

Let me say hello to Alex.

What?

I want to say hi to Alex.

You can't.

I mean, he's already gone outside and he's got his cleats on.

Oh, okay, well, tell him I miss him. I miss you, too, honey.

I miss you, too, Lee.

Give the girls a big hug for me. Oh, I will.

Sweetheart, well, I'll see you tomorrow.

Okay. Bye, Lee.

Keaton, girls.

Oh, are you grown.

are you? Great to see you.

Are you talking to me?

Of course I'm talking to you, Skippy. Come on in. Come on in.

I'm not interrupting something.

Oh, don't be silly. In fact, I'm all alone here.

Alex has a date. The girls are off camping. They won't be back till

So it's just you.

So, Skipper.

been happening in your life these days?

I almost killed a lizard yesterday.

You are really something special.

Hey, you want to play some chess? The board's all set up.

No, no, I don't know how to play chess.

Oh, it's easy. I can teach you in two minutes. Come on. Oh, thanks, Mr.

But the reason I stopped by is because I need a lift to the library.

See, both my parents are out.

Oh, oh, sure, sure. I'll be glad to. Thank you. I really appreciate it.

You want to stop at the park on the way there? Maybe toss a football around?

No.

The Dairy Queen is right on the way. I'll buy you a cone.

No, I've got to get to the library.

Okay, sure.

Say, I can help you with whatever you're working on. I'm good at using the card

catalog. Mr. Keaton, all I need is a lift.

That's it.

Just a lift.

Let's go.

Can I teach you how to drive? Just a...

No later than 8 .30. Thanks, Mom.

Thank you.

Yeah.

I hope you're not mad about us wanting to come home early.

No.

You know, we had a great time while we were out there.

Yeah, it was a great day in the country.

It wasn't a day. It was an hour and a half.

You're forgetting the drive.

That was seven hours.

Go to the movies.

Bye.

Please.

What are you doing home? Is everything all right?

Oh, everything's fine. We just came home early to avoid the traffic.

But you had a good time?

Oh, we had a wonderful time. The girls and I had a fabulous day. We looked at

the photo album. We talked about old times.

We laughed.

We cried. It was wonderful.

Where are they now?

Uh, the girls are, uh, out making copies of photos.

How do you feel with you and Alex?

Great.

Great, wonderful. Today we were, uh... Huh?

That you're eating alone?

No, not at all.

In fact, Alex is on his way home from the market right now with his own frozen

dinner.

We're having a race.

All right.

All right, we're not having a race.

Alex hasn't been here all day.

Went over to Susie Farkas' house.

The girls aren't out making copies.

They're at the movies.

We came home early because they were bored out of their minds.

I guess this didn't turn out the way we planned, huh?

I tried, Stephen. I really tried.

I steered the conversation towards all the old things we used to talk about. I

had the photo album, but they weren't interested.

Now, look, you shouldn't feel too bad about this. It was bound to happen. The

kids are older now. Their lives are expanding to include more and more

all the time.

Well, I say we put a stop...

So what? The baby's not going to look at the photo album?

You know, this is nice.

We should be happy to have a little quiet time to spend like this before the

baby's born.

I am happy.

The best part is we have each other to spend it with.

Oh, well, great. Glad to see somebody's having a good time tonight.

I thought you had a date with the legendary Susie Farkin.

I did.

Unfortunately, so did three other guys.

We all sat around her house and watched professional bowling on TV.

You know, the only one who paid any attention to me was her dog, Pierre.

Told him to get off my leg and he barked.

Sorry it went so badly for you.

Don't worry about it, Dad.

Tell you what.

It's kind of reassuring to come home after a night like tonight.

Find the two of you on the couch carrying on like a couple of crazy

Makes me feel like everything's all right, you know?

Oh, great, they're here.

Hi, Daddy, I really missed you.

Hi, Alex.

What are you guys doing home now? Is the movie out already?

No, Mellor saw some boy she knew there and we had to leave. She didn't want to

be seen with me.

It's nothing personal, Jennifer. I just don't want him to think I've got nothing

better to do on a Saturday night but to hang around with you.

Now, who could take that personally?

Mom, we really need to talk. I need to reevaluate my whole life. Do you have a

minute?

I think you're underestimating your problem, Mallory.

I think it would take a team of mothers working around the clock.

Come on, Mom. Come up to my room.

If we wait until tomorrow to talk to you, I'm really pretty tired. I thought

just finish this chapter and go to bed.

Well, I think I'll join you, Elise.

Oh, Daddy, please don't go to bed yet. I haven't seen you all day. We have a lot

of catching up to do. Yeah, come on, you guys. Look, if I'd have known I was

going to have to spend the evening with Mallory and Jennifer, I would have

stayed with Susie, Farkas, and Pierre.

I don't know, Alex. I'm pretty tired.

Come on, you guys. It's not the same without you two.

Yeah, come on. Stay. Yeah, come on, look, you can sleep anytime. We're all

together now. Let's do something.

You know, we don't do enough family stuff anymore.

Hey, I got a great idea. I can make some popcorn and we can all watch old movies

on TV.

There you go, great idea. Okay, why don't you kids do that and we'll just

upstairs here.

All right, okay, all right, all right, all right, you win.

Get your old Peace Corps films or watch them.

Both reels?

Yeah, okay, both reels.

Come on, Jen, you can help me make popcorn.

Are you sure you want to be seen with me? You never know who you might run

in the kitchen.

Come on.

What do you make of this, Stephen? This morning we were the two most boring

people in the world and now they can't get enough of us.

Maybe with kids you just have to take it when you can get it.

Well, we've got everybody together, and we're going to have a nice, quiet family

evening. If anybody tries to run out, I say we smack them.

Sit, Ubu, sit.

Good dog.
