Here we are, face to face, looking on the silver spoon.

Hoping to find we're two of a kind.

Make it a goal, make 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 I, we're gonna find our way.

You and I, we're gonna find our way.

Sure am, son.

I looked outside.

The wind's blowing my crazy.

Yeah, I know. I just saw the mailman's toupee fly by.

I'm a little worried, Dad.

Do you think I've got enough kite string?

Yeah, I think so, son.

Morning! Morning! It's a fantabulous day.

You guys in a picnic mood?

Yeah. Yeah.

Let's go.

Dad, Kate, before we go, I'd like to make a little pre -picnic speech.

Before I found you guys, I existed, but I never really lived.

My life's going great.

You guys are looking at one happy dude.

Yeah, just a little touch of indigestion.

You sure?

Yeah, it's nothing.

What'd you bring for the picnic?

Fresh croissants, pâté, brie, camembert, and artichoke hearts.

Sounds like more than just indigestion to me.

Oh. I'm going to call your doctor.

Can't call my doctor, Kate. He's in the South Pacific.

Island hopping?

No, island shopping.

I don't need a doctor anyway.

It's okay.

Ah!

Wow.

That was... Wow.

I'm okay.

Let's go.

I'm fine.

No problem here.

Just taking a short nap on this kite.

I think we should call for an ambulance. No, I'm fine. There's no need for an

ambulance.

Okay, call an ambulance.

doing here?

I called your house and your butler told me what happened.

I rushed over here so you could have a shoulder to cry on in your hour of need.

Thanks, Leslie, but I don't need to cry.

You are so macho.

No wonder I'm head over heels, nutsy in love with you.

Yeah, well, uh, lucky me.

Well, I don't know yet.

He, uh... He thought he had a touch of indigestion, so they're giving him some

tests.

What's the matter?

My Uncle Bill.

He thought he had a touch of indigestion.

And they gave him some tests.

Well, how is he?

Dead.

Well, what happened?

He died.

Thanks, Leslie. I...

I feel so much better now.

Oh, I'm so glad.

You know, I could console you a whole lot more if we got married.

Married?

I have my own crock pot.

That sounds tempting.

Listen, if we talk about some other time, I'm a little worried about my dad

right now.

And they gave him some medication for the pain.

I think it's a reaction to the medicine they gave him.

Ricky?

Yeah, Dad?

This hurts.

just pretending.

Kate, they've turned his brain into three -bean salad.

Hello?

Hi.

Hi, are you the doctor?

I'm Dr. Miller.

Well, I'm Ricky Stratton, and this is Kate Summers. And what have you done to

father?

Son, your father has gallstones.

What are they?

Gallstones are small, hard, pathological concretions. composed chiefly of

cholesterol crystals.

That's right!

Tell him what he's won, Don Pargo.

This is driving me out to try to relax. Okay.

Doctor, can my dad come home with us tonight?

I'm afraid not, son.

Well, why not?

There's something serious.

Your father just needs a little operation.

Are the drugs worn off yet?

I don't know.

Do you still see Vikings sitting on the windowsill?

No. Ah, the drugs have worn off.

Hi. Hey there.

How are you feeling?

Fine.

Does he still think I'm Howdy Doody?

Thank you, son.

Sorry, I couldn't get your heart.

They're all out of gallbladders.

I'm going to get myself a cup of coffee, Edward. Can I get you anything?

Yeah, if you see my nurse, would you ask her for an extra pillow?

You know, the one I asked her for a couple of hours ago?

Oh, hey, go easy on Nurse Gutmuller.

She's gentle, she's dedicated, and she looks great.

Kate, she looks like Ernest Borgnine.

Son, would you pull down this top blanket? It's so darn hot in here.

Sure.

You know, Dad, when I heard you needed an operation, I decided to get a second

opinion. And I found out the goblet of surgery isn't always necessary.

Well, really, who told you that?

The lady who works in the gift shop.

I think that I'll just put my faith in Dr.

Miller, okay?

Yeah, and that's another thing.

about this Miller guy.

I mean, what type of grades did he get in medical school?

Did he pass Gob out of the first time?

Or did he have to make it up in summer school?

Listen, son... And, Dad, if you go through with this operation, you'll run

risk of people calling a scar bill.

is going to happen to me.

See, I've got incentive.

I've got a son that I've only known for a little over a year.

And it is my intention to spend a lifetime with that guy.

Great.

I mean, there's so many things I want to do with you, Dad.

Like when I come home from college to visit you, I want us to go out together

and have a beer.

We'll stroll to the keg and peg.

shoot some pool, and then chug down a couple of brewskis.

You know what I want to be around for?

The day you have your son, I want to be there to hear his first word.

Grandpa.

I know Kate wants you around for a while, too. Yeah, well, things are

pretty serious between us.

Oh?

Think you guys will get married?

Oh, well, hey.

Where are we going on my honeymoon, Dad?

Oh, well, hey.

Don't worry, Dad.

I know when to butt out.

But, Dad, with all these things to look forward to, why risk your life with an

operation?

Oh, son, it's not that big a risk.

Here's what'll happen. I'll take a little nap, and while I'm sawing logs,

doctor'll just snip -snip, and then it'll...

See, it's a walk in the park.

Dad, are you okay?

Yeah, son, it's nothing to worry about. It's just a teeny little discomfort.

Are you sure, Dad? You don't look so good. No, son, it's just these lights.

You're sweating like crazy. You're burning up. Well, it's just these

Temperature 103.

Blood pressure down.

We're going to test for Murphy's sign. Breathe out.

Breathe in.

Hey!

Screen tendon is right up her quadrant.

Okay. He has ascending cholangitis. Call the OR. Get a crew in there right away.

I want two sets of blood cultures. Stat!

And hang a gram of sulfazolin.

We'll do the best we can.

I promise.

Kate, I'm going with my dad. Ricky, we can't. We're not allowed in the

room.

It's best that we just stay here.

He's in good hands. Dr. Miller is a top surgeon and he has a wonderful

reputation.

I'm scared, Kate.

I'm afraid my dad's going to die.

Oh, no, Ricky.

He's going to be just fine. Don't say that to me.

A few hours ago, we just had a touch of indigestion.

He said he'd be fine.

Then I know he's in the hospital, but only for a few tests.

He'll be fine.

Then they tell me he needs a little operation, but he'll be fine.

sudden he's got pretending colons.

Oh, don't worry, because he'll be fine.

Well, I'm tired of him being fine, Kate.

What I want is for him to be okay.

Ricky. Please, just level with me, all right?

Be straight with me.

All right.

The truth is, I don't know how serious it is.

And I'm scared.

Kate,

if I tell you a secret, will you promise never ever to reveal to any other

living soul?

Yes.

Okay, raise your right hand and repeat after me.

I, state your name.

I, Catherine Summers.

Solemnly promise never to reveal Ricky Stratton's sacred secret.

Solemnly promise never to reveal Ricky Stratton's sacred secret.

And if I do... And if I do... I will kiss a pig.

Thank you.

What's the secret?

It's my fault my dad got sick.

What are you talking about?

Do you remember this morning when I told you guys how happy I was, how great my

life was going?

Well, right after I said that, my dad got sick.

Oh, hon, there's no connection between those two things.

Yes, there is.

You see, the point is I was too happy. Something bad had to happen.

Oh, hold it.

A lot of people think that way, but that's just superstition.

I mean, that's like saying if you wash your car, it's going to rain.

Well, doesn't it?

Sometimes.

Okay, a lot.

Well, I'm sure there are some people who wash their cars and it doesn't rain.

Name one.

Ricky, washing your car has nothing to do with the rain.

And your father getting sick has nothing to do with your being happy.

If you let yourself be ruled by superstition, you're going to end up

through life miserable, driving a dirty car.

So you're sure it's not my fault?

Positive.

Ricky, you have every right to be happy without being afraid.

Right now, the thing for us to do is to hope with all our might that your dad

gets better.

Because he will get better.

Right?

Right.

Can't hurt.

Like I got body slammed by Orson Welles.

I talked to the doctor, Dad.

He says he'll just be in the hospital for only a few days.

Then he'll be up and around in no time.

When can I go jogging?

Not for quite a while.

Good.

I just can't laugh or sneeze for a while.

That I was scared.

I was afraid I was going to lose you.

Yeah, me too.

Well, I have to admit, I was a little nervous there myself.

But I knew I had the support of the two people I love most.

Dad wouldn't hurt you too much if we were to give you a hug?

Hey.

Let's go for it.

Together, we're gonna find our way.

Taking the time to learn all about those things

you just.
