pencil, and here's some milk money.

This is a hundred dollar bill.

Yeah, in case you want some cookies.

Dad, you don't understand.

The whole point I want to go to public school is because I just want to be a

regular kid.

And regular kids don't go up to the milk counter and say, make mine chocolate.

Can you break a hundred?

Good point.

To tell you the truth, I like your attitude.

I admire you for it.

If you want to be a regular kid, I want you to be a regular kid.

Thank you. Jenkins, is Ricky's limo ready?

Dear Colonel Ludlow, thank you for submitting your idea for a new fast food

chain. I'm always on the lookout for good investment opportunities.

However... There may be a wrinkle or two in your dream for opening a coast

-to -coast chain of Colonel Ludlow's southern fried robins.

See, many people think of robins as the first sign of spring, not a tasty snack

food.

So, I am returning your idea along with your...

Bucket O 'Robin.

Unopened. Cordially yours, Edward Stratton III.

Kate, I'm worried about Ricky.

He should have been home from school by now.

Edward, it's his first day. There's no reason to worry about him.

That's the limo. Kate!

I see Jenkins!

He's getting out!

see Ricky.

Kate, my son made it home from school.

Congratulations. You must be very proud. Yeah.

I always knew he'd make it.

Ricky.

Hi, Dad.

Good night, Dad.

Hold it.

That isn't the eye you left with this morning.

What happened to you?

Got hit.

Good night.

Good night. It's not even dark yet.

Well, it is to me.

Ricky, were you fighting?

Well, sort of.

The other guy threw the punches and I caught him.

Why did he hit you?

Well, some kids saw me getting out of the limo this morning and they put two

two together and figured out I was a rich kid.

I knew I should have had Jenkins take you in the Ferrari.

Sure. Hindsight.

Then what happened?

Well, in history class, before the teacher came in, this big guy came over

and told me to give him my milk money.

You didn't give it to him, did you?

No. I told him it was my milk money. He couldn't have it.

Problem is, I don't think he heard me.

Why not?

Well, when I said it, he was standing in my face.

Well, that's it. That's it. I'm taking you out of that war zone and putting you

in a private school.

Nobody will beat up on you for being a rich kid there. And when you want milk,

you just sign your room number.

Dad, I like being a regular kid.

And I want to go to school with other regular kids.

Let me handle this problem myself.

Please let me stay in public school.

But you and I are going down there together tomorrow. We're going to

out this bully.

What's his name?

Ox.

Ox. Yeah.

It's never Rodney, is it?

Dad, you can't go to school with me.

That's all I need.

A, the rich kid brought his father to fight his battles.

That'll make me real popular.

Edward, maybe Ricky is right.

He's a big boy now, and he wants to handle this by himself.

But maybe, just in case it happens again, you should be more prepared.

I'm going to give you some self -defense hints. Okay, great.

Take this rape whistle.

Just blow into it whenever you get attacked.

Well, a whistle can attract attention.

And it can bring help.

I'd like to handle this problem myself.

Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to go brush my teeth.

I think I've got sneaker breath.

Kate, what am I going to do? I can't just allow people to stand on my son.

Maybe you should just trust him to handle it himself.

Well, besides, you can't be with him all the time. Well, I know I can't.

I can't.

But... Uh -oh.

What?

Well, for a second there, I thought you were getting an idea.

I was.

Uh -oh.

Now, you realize I'm going to have to stand on you again.

I'm not afraid of you.

I'm sitting there.

having any input into the way they were being governed, or as this is most

commonly known, taxation without representation.

Excellent, Mr.

T.

Do you have a first name?

First name is Mr.

Period.

in the same place as when you left this morning is all the thanks I need. I've

never been so humiliated.

He scared the classroom.

He scared the schoolteacher.

And worst of all, he got 100 on a history test.

Hey, man, I don't hold back for nobody.

Well, Ricky, I thought... At lunchtime, Dad, he even tasted my food.

Gee, was that necessary, Mr. T?

Look, man, you are... I mean because I'm the best in the world, and I never lost

a client. If there's a gun, I take the bullet. If there's a knife, I take the

blade. I don't work for people I ain't willing to die for. And besides,

that food in the cafeteria will kill you.

I don't need this, Dad. I really don't need this.

I mean, like, these are supposed to be my care for years.

Son, I just want you to be safe.

Dad, the kids hate me.

just jealous.

It's not jealousy, Dad.

It's hate.

Pure hate.

Please let me handle this my own way.

Please, no limo, no bodyguard.

Just me telling Oxford I can't have my milk money.

Tell him what a silly plan that is. The kid makes a lot of sense.

So that means I'm your boss.

You're touching me.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

See, the point is here that Ox is a lot bigger than my son.

Yeah, much.

Oh, then we agree on that. Good. Well, now, see, wouldn't you also agree that

you two are wrong and I'm right?

No.

But I am right. Hey, why don't you let the kid live his own life? Now, wait

a second.

I'd like to raise him with no interference from you. You talking to

Yeah, I'm talking to you. Yes, yes, I am. You're irritating me.

Well, well, you're irritating me. So?

So butt out.

Oh, Dad, just a wee bit of caution here.

Son, let me handle this my way. Your way is dumb.

I thought I told you to butt out. And if I don't, what you gonna do about it?

I'll tell you. you what i'm gonna do about it i'm gonna invite you outside

that's what i'm gonna do about it you forget that i'm much bigger than you

i don't care well i'm bigger than ricky but still he got the guts to stand up to

him why don't you let him because

for helping me see the light.

You're touching me.

You're right, and I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

But see, I'd like to be alone with my son now, so why don't you go ahead in

kitchen, help yourself to everything.

Listen, Rick, you're my son, and I can't stand the thought of you being hurt.

So I know, I know, I didn't handle this very well, but I'm kind of new at this

father stuff, you know.

I'm going to make mistakes sometimes.

I sure hope that you have an awful lot of patience with me because I only make

them because I love you.

I've got plenty of patience, Dad.

Yeah. Your shoulder's like that eye.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Hey, Rick, one thing.

When this ox guy comes up and asks you for the milk money tomorrow, what are

going to say to him?

Well, I don't know yet.

I'll think of something, though.

Oh, I have to.

Mr. T called Ox Bay his real name today.

Hobart.

You're such a soul man.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

I have a little problem here myself.

How do I tell Mr.

T I want to let him go?

Oh, that's no problem.

Hey, Mr. T.

Yeah.

It's okay. You can go now.

Good.

I'm not going to make you tea anymore.

Ox is going to get you.

Everybody listen to me.

Please listen to me.

Look, I know you guys resent me because I'm the rich kid around here.

But we've all got something in common.

Ox is taking what belongs to us.

Together we can stop him.

Can't take us all.

I just know I can't mind being afraid.

You're dead meat, you rich little wimp.

For the last time, I'm not giving you my milk money.

Listen, Ox.

If you beat me up today, I'm coming back tomorrow.

If you beat me up today, I'm still coming back.

There's no way I'll ever give him my milk money.

So you're just going to have to beat me up for the rest of the school year.

Okay.

from now on, because I can take on you too, wimp.

I can take on all three of you.

Well, Hobart, can't take us all.

Sure move.

I come to school to learn.

So I'm just going to sit at my desk until the teacher gets back.

Stand with me.
