Here we are, face to face, a couple of silver spoons.

Hoping to find, we're two of a kind.

Making it go, making it grow.

Together, we're going to find our way.

Together,

taking the time each day.

To learn all about those things you just can't buy.

Two silver spoons together.

You and me.

Hi, gang.

Hey, son.

Trouble?

Now, remember I told you that Derek and I are going to the National Bandit

Convention in Chicago?

Yeah.

Well, we can't go now because of our patrol leader.

That's Chubby Butterman's father, isn't it?

Yeah, Chubby Butterman.

Well, it can't go because of the accident.

Accident, son? That's terrible. What happened?

Well, you see, the butterman's basement is full of freeze -dried food.

Last night, one of the water pipes busted.

Right now, they're up to their rafters in Turkey Tetrazzini.

Gee, I hope they eat their way to the furnace before it explodes.

I'll bet they didn't even call a plumber.

Just tied on their bibs and went to work.

Well, son, it's a shame you can't go to Chicago.

Isn't there anybody else who can take you?

Oh, no. No, no, no. You're not roping me into this one.

No. No!

But I sort of feel like I look a little, well, a little... Ridiculous? Yeah.

No way, sir. The word would never occur to me.

Good.

Patrol leaders are meeting to hear the opening lecture. It's entitled, The

Badger Patrol.

Shall we faith the future or just muddle along willy -nilly?

Tough question.

Yeah, I'm not sure where I stand on that.

out and make it a good day.

I will.

All I needed was the encouragement.

We better get down to the crystal room for that wood chopping demonstration.

Hold it.

We're not going to spend the afternoon dodging wood chips.

Look what I got.

Four seats to McCormick Place.

There's a certain rock concert being held there tonight.

Duran Duran?

Oh, right.

Awesome.

Uh, wait a minute. These are front row seats.

How'd you get the money to pay for these?

Well, let's just say that hock shops pay big bucks for family heirloom.

Hey, here's four tickets we can bring out from Gary and Exchange Badgers.

Zoltan and Tibor.

Have you got goulash on the brain?

I'm going to use these tickets to get us some women.

Older, experienced women.

We are?

Rick, didn't you see the sign down in the lobby?

Welcome Midwestern High School Cheerleading Finalists. This place is

with chicks in tight sweaters with great big letters on them.

They're checking us out.

Let's throw them our best moves.

I don't understand those girls.

They laughed at the ricker.

Listen,

before we go back here, let's decide what we're going to say to him.

It isn't going to work.

Yes, it is.

Stand back and watch my smoke.

I'm Michelle.

Now, did I hear you say you had tickets to the Duran Duran concert?

Yes!

My friend and me have four front row seats, and we're looking for dates.

We're also looking for a real good time.

Catch my drift.

what a good time really is?

No. But we sure like to find out.

How old are you?

Twelve?

I've seen a dozen summers.

Well, it just so happens that Valerie and I would love to go to the concert

you. You would?

you like to check with her first?

That won't be necessary.

Once she finds out you guys are a date, she'll be absolutely stunned.

Great.

Where should we pick you wenches up, huh?

Right here.

Room 408.

Shall we say around 730 -ish?

I'll be counting.

Tonight? In a town you've never been to before in your life?

Uh -huh.

Nice going, son.

Have a chip off the old block.

Thanks. Well, who's the lucky lady?

Well, she... Wait a minute, don't tell me.

It wouldn't be one of the many high school cheerleaders I've seen parading

around here, most of them up and down this very hall, would it?

Sure is.

We're going to the Duran Duran concert.

With? With a younger man?

Yeah.

Well, I guess she sends him to me a certain je ne sais quoi.

Well, son, you think it's possible that this girl might just be using you to get

to the concert?

Well, it's possible.

But then again, who cares?

Son, you know, there's some people in this world who... pretend to like you.

But they only act that way to get something they want.

And they don't care how they get it. They're not like you.

You have character.

You care about people. You're not a user.

Come on, Dad.

I'm not a saint.

You're also not going to the concert alone.

I'll take you there in a taxi and I'll pick you up when it's over.

Dad! Son, you're in a strange town.

But it's my kind of town Chicago is.

Now, Rick, you have two choices.

Either you do it my way or no way.

Well, could you do me a favor and sit up front and pretend to be the cabbie's

immigrant cousin?

Yes, I could do that.

It would be my happiness.

Eric's going too?

Yeah.

But I'm going to try to have a good time anyway.

makes me look suave and irresistible?

Mais oui.

Just a minute.

So you're positive I should wear this beret?

Yeah.

A good rule of thumb is to do the opposite of whatever you tell me.

Be patient. You're about to find out.

Well, it's only fair to warn you that if I'm not happy with them... Bye.

I'm going to kill you.

Ah, and excuse us.

You set us up with the toddlers?

You're the one who called them fragile little boys on the brink of manhood.

out with them, you better take along some campers.

Well, let's split.

Before we do, there's just one thing. Yeah?

Let's make sure that we're with the girl we should be with.

So how would you two describe each other?

She has absolutely no scruple.

She's cornered the market on them.

She doesn't know.

She knows.

He says you know.

I'm afraid she doesn't know.

Oh, no.

Excuse me.

I'll break.

Valerie,

let me explain.

The only way I could get these boys to take me to the concert was if I...

or do we get naked?

Boys, um, there's been a mistake, a misunderstanding.

I'm afraid you've been misled.

Our date is over now.

to see Duran Duran.

And we're really sorry for doing that.

I just hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive us.

Boy, what a chip.

We owe you an apology, too.

See, Derek and I tried to use you.

All along, I knew it was wrong to try and trade in concert tickets for cheap

sex.

grandmother's wedge would.

Listen, Valerie, I hope you can at least forgive me.

Because I think you're a sensational girl.

You're pretty, you're smart, you're sensitive,

and I'll never forget you.

You're sweet.

Good night, Valerie.

I think you're sensational, too.

Except you're prettier, and you're smarter, and you're sensitiver.

I'll never forget you even more.
