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

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

Make it a call, make it a call.

Together, we're gonna 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.

Guess why I'm carrying a brand -new fishing pole.

Uh... Buzz, sorry, time's up.

The answer is because we're going fishing. All right. Wonderful.

Now, aren't you going to ask me where we're going fishing?

Where? Gee, I had a hunch you'd ask me that.

Well, Skinny is. See, one of my top toy designers, Bill Whiffle, the inventor of

the bill ball, he owns an old, rustic kind of mountain cabin right on the

of Lake Gucciwampus.

Now, Bill isn't using that cabin this weekend, so he's offered it to us to

That's great!

However, there is one big catch.

What? We've got to want to use it.

We want!

We want!

If you can't resist a la mode, then pry yourself into wide loads.

Yes, I'm glad you like it. Goodbye.

Dexter, I got some great news.

Dad, Kate, and I are going to spend a weekend in a terrific mountain cabin

next to a lake.

Congratulations.

Thanks. I'm going to be fishing, hiking, canoeing.

A minute ago, I didn't have a thing to do.

Now I'm going to have too much to do.

Isn't life a kick in the head?

Yes, life is a kick in the head.

That's why I own stock in several aspirin companies.

Well, this weekend's going to be great.

What are you going to do?

Well, let me check my calendar.

I have only one thing scheduled.

Give my canary a bath.

Well, aren't you going to be with your girlfriend?

No, I'll be alone this weekend. She'll be out of town attending a seminar on

moral decay of our society.

Really? Where's the seminar being held?

In Las Vegas.

Okay, Saturday you're going to give your canary a bath.

Now, what about Sunday? Well, I think I'll read this month's issue of Money

Manager magazine.

It always has some extremely exciting articles in it.

You too can grow vegetables on your unused cemetery plot.

This is your weekend?

You're going to read a magazine and wash your bird?

That's right.

Dexter, I hate the thought of you being alone, so... Why don't you come and join

us this weekend?

You mean that cabin in the woods?

Nestled in the wilderness next to a tranquil lake?

Yeah. Would you like that? Good Lord, no.

Why not?

Well, I don't like the country.

How come?

Because it's not in the city.

But that's the whole point, to get away from the city.

I mean, there's a lot of neat stuff you can do up there, too.

Beautiful scenery, wildlife.

I'm not a very big fan of wild animals.

I'm even a little reluctant to use this duck phone.

Dexter, this would be the perfect chance for us to become better friends.

We'll have a good time.

Hang out together.

You'd want to hang out with me?

Well, I'll tell you what. Next Monday, why don't you come over to my office?

I'll give you an accountant's green visor and sleeve protectors. We'll see

what's new in the tax laws.

That'd really be awesome.

It seems to me that this is the perfect time for us to get together.

Well, the thing is, I'd really hate to intrude on a family occasion, Richard.

Come on!

Now, Richard, what are you doing?

Yes! Richard, don't push.

Well, Richard, listen, I'd really hate to intrude on you guys, Edward. Oh,

be silly. It's no intrusion. We'd be glad to have you. But, but... See, I

you, Dexter.

But, but... Hey, Kate, good news.

Dexter wants to come to the cabin with us. One scissor, a little bit strong.

Wonderful. The more, the merrier. Yes, but, but... Yeah, I'd better get another

rod. Oh, and I'll get another sleeping bag. Yes, but, but... But what, Dexter?

Richard, I don't belong up there.

There are no sidewalks.

No taxis, no parries.

Oh, it's wonderful.

Dax, please.

That bug spray smells terrible.

I'm sorry.

That's why I brought my earplug now.

Dexter, aren't you a little uncomfortable in that suit?

Oh, this is my traveling garb. Now that I'm here, I will, of course... Change

into something a little more Daniel Boonish.

Hey, guy, the pot belly.

Don't. There's some great ghost stories around this baby.

I had a vacuum.

No problem.

Thank you, Dexter, for saving us from that vicious dust ball.

Well, I believe in stomping first, asking questions later.

Kate, let's go for a walk around the lake. Oh, I'd love it. What are you guys

going to do?

Well, I don't know.

What do you want to do first?

I know it'd be fun.

Let's hang up these.

Dexter, you've been here five minutes. You've already killed 12 forms of life.

Dexter, I really don't want to spend the whole day hanging up no pest strips.

Listen, I'm sorry. Whatever you want to do is fine with me.

Why don't we hop in the canoe and go fishing? Except that.

What's the matter? You afraid you'll fall in?

So why don't you try it on and get into the spirit of the occasion.

time I think of the fact that we're immersed in water where bugs have

Listen, Dexter, we can still have a good time.

Why don't we go outside and pick some berries?

I don't know.

Dexter, nothing can possibly go wrong this time.

Always glad to be of service.

I'm gonna go see if my other clothes are dry.

Hi, Dex. Hi, Dex. Says you.

What's the matter with him?

Well, he... He's kind of had a rough day, Dad.

You see, first we went fishing and he fell into the lake and...

He fell into a hot spring.

Oh, what a shame.

Well, at least there's nothing else for him to fall into.

Except the well.

Dexter, are you okay?

I'm fine, I'm fine.

Well, it'll be a beautiful sunset tonight.

After you get warmed up, we can go outside. I don't want to go back

Please don't make me.

All right, we'll stay inside right here.

Bless you.

Bless you.

Thank you.

Well, why don't we play a game? Good idea.

How about 20 questions?

Terrific.

Dexter, since you had such a rough day, we'll let you go first.

You have to think of something, and we get 20 questions to guess what it is.

All right.

I'm thinking of something. Start guessing.

Can I guess first?

Sure. Is it a mineral?

No.

Is it a vegetable?

Yes.

A vegetable. A vegetable.

Oh, no.

It's not a green vegetable. Take it easy.

Is it a leafy vegetable?

I don't believe this.

I'm trying my best.

Well, is it a tomato?

It's a bear.

Dexter, we're supposed to guess what it is.

Yeah, besides, you said it was a vegetable.

It's a bear!

All right, it's a bear. I'll think of something.

It's a bear!

Dexter, you've already had your turn.

Yeah, if you don't want to play, at least don't ruin it for us. Please.

Let's just remain calm.

Bears are used to being around people. He's probably very gentle.

What we need here is a plan. Any thoughts?

I'm open to suggestions.

Can I hear some voices?

Not yours.

has some berries.

What happened to the berries? They're just an appetizer.

And we're the main course.

Well, I, for one, have had just about enough.

Shh, not so loud. You'll make him angry. I refuse to be intimidated by a beast.

Oh, shush.

Don't interrupt me when I'm talking to you.

Now, listen, you. I happen to know the owner... of the Ringling Brothers

so I suggest you make yourself scarce, or you may spend the rest of your life

wearing a clown collar, tooting a toy horn, and riding a unicycle.

Repetitions. Try taking some deep breaths.

I don't dare. With my luck, if I open my mouth, something tiny with far too many

legs will fly into it.

Can I get you anything?

Some concrete.

A skyscraper.

Or what I wouldn't give for a whiff of smog.

I'm sorry, Dexter.

I really hoped you'd like it up here. I'm sorry, Richard, but I really don't.

Wouldn't you have been lonely?

Sure, I would have been alone.

But I wouldn't have been lonely.

You see, I'm surrounded by people all week long.

At work, at social gatherings.

So when I get a rare weekend alone, I treasure it.

I know what you mean. I felt that way myself.

So have I.

You know, when I was in military school, I lived in a dorm with 20 kids.

And sometimes I just wanted to get away from them all.

That's the Ernie Ling piddle.

And the shower problem.

What shower problem?

He never took one.

I'm sorry I made you come here, Dexter, if you really didn't want to.

There's no need to apologize. Come here, Richard.

You said you wanted to be my friend.

You asked me here.

Because you cared about me.

And I came because I cared about you.

Friends?

Friends.

I'll tell you what. Why don't we drive back to the city and Dexter can have his

Sunday all to himself.

You'd do that for me?

Why not? Let's load up the car. Come on.

Dad. Huh?

I heard there's going to be a terrific football game on tomorrow.

That's just fine. Let's do that.

But you know, I was...

I've been meaning to be.

Right. Well, then, what are we waiting for?

Go.

I know. For a minute there, I began to think that bear was going to hibernate

our station wagon.

Well, I think Dexter was happy to return to civilization.

Yeah, I kind of got that impression when he got down on his hands and knees and

kissed his carpet.

There's something I don't understand.

I mean, how could Dexter not like the woods? I mean, we do.

We love the woods.

Yeah, I know what you mean, son. When you really, really like something, it's

hard to imagine somebody else doesn't.

Truth is, people are different. Not everybody likes the same thing.

That's right, Rick.

For instance, your father loves Italian food, and I don't.

Honey, I thought you loved Italian food.

No, you love Italian food.

I do believe that I have mentioned it before, dear.

I thought you were joking.

I don't know anybody who doesn't like Italian food, sweetheart.

Well, now you know somebody, darling.

What's not to like about Italian food?

There's pasta, meat, cheese, tomatoes.

That's right. No matter what you order, it's pasta, meat, cheese, and tomatoes.

Guys, I get the point. You telling me you don't like veal parmesan?

No. Just like you don't like sushi.

Together, we're gonna find our way.

Together,

taking the time today to learn all about

those things you just can't...
