Oh, no. Got it. Shut.

Oh, I did it.

Tamara,

you think maybe you packed too many clothes?

Eh, here's the problem.

Oh, Tamara, you better hurry up. I mean, you only have three days to repack.

Tamara, why are you packing so early anyway?

Oh, just...

Too darn excited, I guess.

See, our cheerleading squad chipped in for a cabin at Mount Brighton. Yep, a

whole glorious weekend with no hassles, no homework, and best of all, no

parents. Just think, Tamara, we're going to be in the middle of nowhere totally

on our own. Yeah. Cool.

Cool.

Okay, don't laugh,

but... I think I'm a little nervous about going away.

I mean, this is the first big weekend I'm spending away from home.

Okay, I know.

Pretty silly for a girl my age, but that's why I'm keeping it to myself.

It doesn't show, does it?

I didn't think so.

Anyway, I figure if I just play it cool...

Tia would never catch on in a million years.

Come on, Samir.

We have to go get our skis.

And will you quit being so nervous?

What can I say?

She sees right through me.

Now that everybody knows, I ain't never gonna let you.

Lisa, it just hit me.

The girls are going away.

That's right, they are.

We have this big old house all to ourselves.

Just the two of us.

And if we stay right here... Yeah?

We'll be near the phone in case the girls really need us.

Oh, for heaven's sake, wait.

Those girls will be fine. They don't need us.

Yeah, you're probably right.

After all, they will have these audio tapes I made for them to help them out

the road.

I go and sleep in snow and other safety runs.

Ding, ding, ding, the train is coming. Stop.

What?

Ray, Tamara is not a child. I bet you she can take care of herself.

Why don't you let her prove it?

Yeah, you're right, you're right. Comes a time in a parent's life when he has to

let go.

And I am.

I'm letting go.

My baby.

I am one step away from a singles ball. I'm letting go.

I'm letting go.

So, honey, ready for the big weekend?

Yeah, I guess.

Must be pretty excited, huh?

First long trip away from home without your old dad.

Yeah, I can hardly wait.

I don't want to go. I don't want to go.

You know, honey, I have been a tad overprotective, but it's over.

You'll be just fine. I'm not going to worry the least bit.

Dad,

there's nothing to worry about.

I hear it's a really easy drive.

No, it's not. I made a couple of dry runs last week myself.

Five hours of twisty, turny, mountainy roads, and you want me in the comfort of

a limo.

Nobody listens to me.

Well, have fun.

Thanks, Dad.

For nothing?

Could you kick me out of the nest?

You've got to get out of this trip.

Think of an excuse that's not too lame.

I'm lame, I'm lame.

Easy, Hoppy. That must have been one heck of a fall.

Oh, it was. I ask you, what was a bowling pin doing in a high school

Even more peculiar, where was the other nine?

So, can you wiggle your toes yet?

Not as much as I can wiggle my toes.

I just realized I'm not going to be able to go on the trip. What? What?

Trip? What trip?

Wait a minute,

Tamara. I get the feeling you're making this whole thing up.

Don't you want to go this weekend?

Weekend? Should I know about this? I didn't check my mail.

Watch her.

Tia, I'm dying to go this weekend.

But how can I ski with the bum leg?

Ski.

Nothing like a cozy cabin with a couple of hotties and a few hot toddies.

Where will you two be staying?

Who invited you?

Let him come.

We're going to be all alone up there.

We could sure use a big, strong man to protect us.

Whoa, back down, butternut.

Quit looking at me that way. I ain't your lunch.

My heart says go, but my leg says no.

Wait, wait, wait a minute, Tamera.

You're limping on the wrong leg.

Okay, Tamera, what's the problem?

Are you just nervous about being away from home?

Nervous? Tia, I am not nervous. I mean, that would be way uncool for a girl at

my age. Anyway, I talk too much when I'm nervous, and I'm not talking... You're

talking too much right now. Shut up, shut up, shut up.

Mira, look, the main reason our folks are letting us go on this trip is

we're going together.

You don't go, I don't get to go. So you better get it together.

Leah, I don't know what you're talking about. First of all, I've been to a lot

more places than you have. I went to New York with your dad.

Right. I went to Europe with your dad.

With your dad, with your dad, with your dad.

I gotta get out more.

No, Tamera, you have to grow up.

Goodness.

Tamera, I love you and you're my sister, but you're acting like a big, fat baby.

I am not.

Listen, lookalike.

I am two minutes older than you, so that makes you...

sleeping bag go all the way up.

Look, Mayor, just at least try and have a good time, okay?

must be frozen frozen pipes that means there's nothing to drink is anybody

every little thing scares you goodness i hate to think how you'd be if something

really

help here, people.

Roger, how in the world did you find us? We didn't tell you where we were going.

Which is why I had to spend the whole dang trip hiding in the back of your

You were with us the whole time?

Under the tarp on top of the jack.

I don't know if they covered this in driver's ed, but you're supposed to go

around the potholes.

So, which one of you is going to hook me up with some Campbell's cream of

anything.

Sorry, guys.

All the food is left out in the van.

This is all we got.

What is it?

I don't know.

Either melted gum or a makeup sponge.

But either way, it's dinner for five.

Mira, we're all going to starve to death.

Hey, I got an idea.

Let's call Domino's.

They'll never make it in 30 minutes.

That means free pizza for everybody.

working. I don't care.

Help!

You're hysterical.

You think?

Guys, okay, now, let's just hang on until our parents get here.

Our parents are not coming, Tamara.

What do you mean they're not coming?

Sure they are.

We never called them to tell them we got here. They'll be worried.

Nuh -uh.

Because when we stopped at the gas station, I called home and told them we

it safe and sound.

Just the two of us.

Yeah.

Big old house all to ourselves.

So, you want to go in?

Why not?

Unless you want to go somewhere else. There is nowhere else.

It's one of the movies, miniature golf, and a walking tour of the Tuskegee

Airman Museum.

You don't suppose we're a little shy about being here alone together, do you?

No, no, I don't think so.

Want to invite some of our friends over and ask them?

I think I do feel a little awkward.

It's ridiculous, isn't it?

I act like I'm 15 years old again, sitting with Velma Watson in a mama's

trying to decide whether I want to tiptoe to first base or just try and

one out of the park.

I remember my very first date.

My folks were off working, and there I was with Tyrone Wheatley.

Sweet Tyrone.

He was all man, too.

Had a mustache when he was eight.

So what'd you do?

Nothing. First I got the giggles, then the hiccups.

Oh, I just couldn't help it. You know, I felt so gangly and self -conscious.

Kind of like I do right now.

Me too.

Maybe because here we are again, alone in somebody's parents' house.

Yeah, but this time, Ray, we are the parents.

It's ironic, isn't it?

Maybe some music would help. Oh, that's...

Oh, that's nice. Oh,

yeah. Get jammed. Hey, Ray, what the hell are you doing?

I'm just trying to find something to set the mood.

Hey.

Now what?

Got me?

You ever notice how much Tia and Tamara look alike?

This isn't working, is it? No. You want to go somewhere and have some dessert?

Your Denny's never closed. Who you telling?

Come on, guys. We've got to stay busy. Think of things to do.

Let's play another game of truth or dare. No.

No, thank you.

Now, one of you guys took my dare.

Although I did find out some ugly truths.

in whose shoe is this?

We need stuff to get us through the night.

Hello? I think that's a done deal.

It's 7 a .m.

What? We made it!

We made it!

Now what?

We can't just wait here forever until someone finds us.

You know what? I can't wait!

I'm tired!

I want to go home!

I want to go home! I want to go home! I want to go home!

Tia's right!

We can't wait here scared to death.

get my skis.

You guys find pots, spoons, pans, anything to dig us out.

I'm going for help.

Hey, I'm the man here.

If anyone's going for help, it should be me.

Or you.

Wait, Tamara, you can't go out there.

It's too dangerous.

Since when did you get so brave?

Are you kidding?

I haven't shaken in my boots ever since we got here.

I'm petrified.

You were right about me.

I'm a big, fat baby.

I'm tired of acting like one.

Somebody's got to do something.

Wait. Wait a minute, Tamara.

Look, we came in this world together, and we're going out together.

I'm coming with you.

Well... Unfortunately, I have to stay here and take care of the womenfolk, so

Godspeed.

You can start by taking care of me.

On second thought, you womenfolk are big enough to take care of yourselves.

Much to my little Eskimo pies.

What happened? What happened was we wore ourselves out walking so we wouldn't

have to come back here.

I guess I fell asleep on the couch.

No, actually, you fell asleep in the park.

I carried you home and the couch as far as I could get you.

Well, so much for our romantic evening.

Well, want to try a romantic morning?

Come on, let's dance.

Maybe I'll spit this one out.

This weekend isn't going quite like we planned, but, you know, it was fun

playing hooky. Yeah.

From what?

Well, you know, from our round -the -clock jobs being parents.

You know, that hooky thing kind of grows on you.

I actually spent the whole night not worrying about, what's my daughter's

again?

You know, maybe the girls should go away a little bit more often.

Yeah.

Here's an update from Mount Brighton, where a snow slide buried several...

Hold the car. I'm coming.

Hold it back.

It's gonna die on this icy rock.

I say we spend our last few hours huddled together, making my dreams come

Hey, hey, hey.

The oxygen's not that thin up here, okay?

Man, push your brother over there for trying.

Roger. That didn't work at the bottom of the hill, and it's not gonna work at

the top.

Man. Top?

Hey!

Do you guys see that teeny, itty -bitty little speck way down there?

I think that's the ranger station.

We drove past it our way in.

Tamara, what are you doing?

I'm going to go down there and get help.

Tamara, I can't let you do that.

Look, Tamara, if you're trying to prove something to me, you don't have to.

Tamara, I'm sorry.

ever called you a baby.

Look, if it hadn't been for you, none of us would have made it this far.

Really?

Really.

I'm proud of you, Tamara.

Now, come on.

There's got to be a safe way down.

Now, let's just go look for another path.

Well, okay.

My dear, thanks for talking me out of this.

I mean...

High blackout on the bunny slope.

No problem.

Oh.

Perfect. Counts.

More cocoa, pumpkin?

you kids up. Okay.

Mom, you should have seen Tamir go down that hill. I swear, trees were jumping

out of her way.

And the rangers were really nice. They had all these pictures of the skiers

went down that hill.

I'm the only one on the mated side.

I am so proud of you, honey. You did an awful lot of brave things this weekend.

Brave?

Dad, I was scared the whole time.

Oh, sweetheart, don't you understand?

Doing what you have to do in spite of a desperate situation.

Well, that's what courage is. And you are a very courageous young lady.

I am?

Yeah.

Wow.

And the best part is, is I did it without you.

I beg your pardon?

Dad, what do you know? I mean, I don't need you as much as I thought.

Oh, I mean, you need me for some stuff.

Hey, the van's ready.

Come on, Tamir, let's go. Bye -bye.

Wait, wait, wait. Let me drive you home, honey. Dad, it's okay.

But I don't need you to.

I'm going in the van.

Well, let me get the door.

I got it.

Bye, Dad.

Bye. Bye -bye.

My little girl doesn't need me.

Oh, she'll need you.

Just as soon as her allowance runs out.

Or some boy breaks her heart.

In the meantime...

You do?

Yeah, we got a cabin in the woods.

Cozy fire.

Sounds very romantic.

Uh -huh.

And you know the most romantic thing about...

Hey, you guys ever played Whose Shoe Is This?

Oh, it was.

I asked you, what was a bowling pin doing in a high school hallway?

Dad, I was scared the whole time.

Sweetheart, don't you understand?

Don't you?

I jumped the line.

I'm running out of games here. We already played musical chair.
