Carlos looked longingly into her deep
blue eye, wondering what mystery lay

behind them.

Noticing her figure, he didn't care.

Oh,

I

see you've been waiting for me, my page.

What do you want to see?

You have a twin?

No.

I'm going to be out of town for a week.
And I know how much you'll miss me, so I

brought you this.

What is it?

That revolutionary Uncle Bert's home
reality helmet. Patent pending.

How nice. Bye.

And all you do is place this baby on
your nifty noggin, and it'll be like I

never lived.

Oh, well, gee, thanks, Steve. Whenever I
miss you, I'll be sure to use it.

You poor thing.

A week without me will seem like a...
Like a... Vacation?

No. You're so strong.

So long, sweetums.

Hey, a desert island!

Wow!

Surprise!

Steve, what are you doing here?

We're church together on a desert
island, my pet.

Let's celebrate our bliss with a big,
juicy cake.

It's a rare condition this day and age
to read any good news on the newspaper

page. And love and tradition of the
grand design, some people say, is even

harder to find.

Well, then there must be some magic clue
inside these gentle walls.

Because all I see is a tower of dreams.

love it too, but $300 is a lot of money.

$300?

I didn't pay that much for Harriet's
engagement ring.

I paid more.

So you think I spent too much?

Oh, no, Aunt Rachel.

After all, you only go around once in
life.

And you already passed halfway.

Give yourself a break.

You have the right to pamper yourself.

So you really think I ought to keep it?
Absolutely.

And it's going to look great on me when
I borrow it.

Yeah, it will.

But you'll never leave the house.

The kiddie falls outside.

Oh, that's pretty clever, Ricky, for a
third -year senior.

Leave the nerd alone.

Okay, men.

Welcome to Swim Class 101.

I'm your teacher, Mr.

Nutting. That's two Ts, like in pudding.

You can't swim?

I could just say it a little louder. I
don't think they heard you in Wyoming.

Take that off. You sound ridiculous.

All right, all right.

Isn't that better?

Look, don't worry.

I am going to teach you how to swim.

Get in the water.

Maybe, just maybe you could float.

is a requirement for graduation, and if
you don't pass the swim part of the

class, you can't graduate.

But I'll never learn how to swim.

Then I guess you'll never graduate.

Mom,

Mom, I made the rollerblade hockey team.

Yeah, and it's the meanest, roughest,
toughest team in the league.

Which team? The Guppies.

That is wonderful, sweetie.

I need $150.

Richie needs a helmet, pads, a jersey,
and a new hockey stick.

Oh, sweetie, I'm not sure I can afford
all that.

Oh.

Hey, don't you worry about it. Mommy
will find a way. You will get that

equipment. Thanks, Mom. You're the best.
Oh, so are you, my sweet.

Well, guess it's back to the store for
you.

Congratulations, Mr. My Man.

You'll make a great guppy.

Well, I better get going. It's about the
time of day when Waldo locks himself

out of the apartment.

Steve, what is it?

Why won't you pass?

Well, I can't swim.

Oh. That is a problem.

No,

no. You're not going to ask me to... I
want you to teach me... Oh, you asked

Steve,

why don't you ask your dad?

Well, wait.

The only time my dad lets me in the
water is when we go shark fishing.

I'm sorry, Steve, but I'm just too busy.
with work, home, and all the other

places I have to go.

I see.

You do realize, of course, that if I
don't graduate, I won't go away

to MIT.

And if I don't go away to MIT, then I

stay here with my...

There's no shame in feeling fear.

But you've got to face that fear.

You've got to look at...

with the freestyle stroke?

Oh, yes. The freestyle's beginnings go
back thousands of years.

An ancient Egyptian wall relief shows
soldiers of Ramses II using an over -the

-arms stroke to pursue their enemies
across the Bronte River more than 3 ,000

years ago.

See, I know about it. I just can't do
it.

In the freestyle, you use your arms,
your legs, and your feet to propel

through the water.

To inhale, you turn your head to the
side.

and you exhale underwater.

Okay, now you try.

problem with this one. Have a nice day.

Hi, Harriet.

Hi, Richard.

What are you doing here?

Oh, the dress was too expensive.

I have to bring it back so I can get
hockey equipment for Richie.

Oh, that's too bad.

That dress looks great on you.

Yeah.

Oops. Wait a minute. Okay,

careful. Here.

There we go.

Okay.

Well,

maybe I'll look out and it'll go on sale
soon.

Wait a minute.

Rachel, I can't take this dress back.
It's torn.

Harriet,

you must have done that when you caught
it in that zipper.

No way. It wouldn't have caused a tear
that big.

And that's not where it got caught.

Well, I didn't do it.

Well, the tear didn't get there by
itself.

Oh, Harriet, this is ridiculous.

I want my money back right now.

Rachel, my decision is final.

What is going on? I will tell you what
is going on. She won't take my dress

back. She thinks I damaged it on purpose
so I could get my money back.

it, Richie?

I ripped the dress.

You what?

I was playing hockey in the living room
and I accidentally hit it with my stick.

Honey, you should have told me that.

I was going to right after I graduated
high school.

Sorry.

I think someone else owes someone an
apology.

I shouldn't have accused you of trying
to cheat the store out of money.

And I'm sorry I buried your favorite
person.

You what?

Where's Penny?

I'll draw your mask.

Okay. Mom!

Hey, how's the swimming going?

Swimming?

It's more like choreographed thinking.

get a good job, and I end up selling my
car for cheese.

Congratulations, Steve.

Honey, you were great.

I smell a conspiracy.

Well, Steve, I had to think of some way
for you to forget your fear of water and

go with your gut instincts.

Well, now I'll graduate because of my
beautiful gal and my big

boss pal.

Thank you both from the bottom of my
little purple heart.
