All language subtitles for Silver Spoons s02e17 Changes

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 going to find our

way.

Together, taking the time each day.

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

Do the spoons together.

You and me together.

Maybe Andy Rooney can play.

Hi, Dex. This is Ronnie.

Gable, Mommy and I are having a little
birthday party for Edwin Meese.

Be there or be square.

Good. Hi, Richard. How was the game? We
won.

Well, congratulations. I knew you'd be
victorious.

Billy, this is my dad's business
manager, Dexter Stuffy.

Dexter, this is our star pitcher, Billy
Jankowski.

Hello, Billy.

Hi.

Why, you're a girl.

You wouldn't say that if you saw our
pickoff move.

That was a rough game, Dex. We had to
beat our top rivals.

The toughest, most feared team in the
whole league.

Winky's pet.

Are they as tough as Kathy's maternity
wear?

Even tougher.

Do you want to hear how we won the game?
Oh, yes, I'd love to hear a good sports

anecdote. Shoot. Well, Billy's fastball
was really smoking today.

She held the gerbil scoreless.

Then Ricky got up in the bottom of the
ninth and smashed the double.

Well, it...

It wasn't really a smash. It was more of
a dribble to the pitcher.

But then he overthrew the first baseman,
and then Tommy Ryan's dog picked the

ball up with his mouth, and it's a
beautiful iris center. It's long.

Okay,

so I'm on second base.

Billy comes up and hits a long fly ball
deep, deep to right field, moving me

over to third.

Billy really clobbered that pitch.

I did get good wood on it.

So things were looking great.

But then our next two guys struck out.

So my dad looked at me.

And I looked at him, and he gave me the
steel signal.

So I got a big lead off third, got a
great jump, and stole home for the

run. Wasn't that a rather risky
strategy, Edwards?

Well, actually, it was entirely
unintentional. I didn't mean to give

steel signal. I was trying to get rid of
a bee.

Looks like you're the hero of the game,
Richard.

No way, I...

I think we should award the game ball to
that bee.

Well, I'll have to see one of your
games. I'd love to see you two in

Yeah, they're a winning combination.

Rick's a great catcher.

Billy's the best pitcher in the whole
league.

I think she's just plain terrific.

Oh, come on.

Edward,

if you have a moment, I'd love for you
to sign some loan paper. Then I'll drop

them off at the bank.

Okay, but why am I borrowing money?
You're not. The bank is borrowing money

you.

It is? Yes, of course. It's a small
bank. Just getting started.

And I've negotiated a superb interest
rate.

Oh, this is a twitch.

Well, since they're opening an account
with me, maybe I should give them a

toaster. You're a toaster, yeah, right
now.

Rick, can I ask you something?

Sure, what is it?

Well, you think of me as one of the
guys, don't you?

Yeah, it's real easy to forget you're a
girl.

You don't scream when you see a snake.

And when we go fishing, you're not
afraid to put your own worm on your

Well, I just like to think of worms as
real small snakes.

Billy, I don't say this to a lot of
girls, but... You're a great guy.

But I'm not a guy.

I'm a girl.

I got involved in some problems down at
Eddie Toy's.

What's the matter?

Well, I'm having trouble convincing
certain people to accept my authority as

your father's assistant.

When I say I want more goop in the goofy
glop, I mean it.

That way, Kate.

Oh, Rick, I just spoke to the gardener.
Mr. Carpenter?

Yeah, he was trimming the hedge around
the duck pond, and he said he found a

five -legged frog.

Do you want to see it?

Are you kidding?

Go ahead, Rick. I want to talk to Miss
Summers.

Okay. I'll bring him back alive.

Miss Summers, I've got a problem.

Do you think we could have a woman -to
-woman talk?

Well, of course we could.

Is something bothering you?

Well, yeah.

Well,

Rick thinks of me as one of the guys.

I can't understand why he doesn't think
of me as a girl.

on how to be more ladylike?

Well, um, first of all, a lady doesn't
sit like that.

A lady sits like this.

Like this?

That's right.

Well, doesn't the back of your knee get
all sweaty?

That's one of the prices you pay for
being a lady.

Well, what else should I do?

Well, let's see.

You could wear your hair down.

And you could try wearing a dress with a
pretty purse.

A dress and a purse?

Oh, uh... Billy, if you want the guys to
start thinking of you as a

lady, you have to look like a lady.

Okay, okay.

So, my hair is down, I'm in a dress, and
my knee is sweating.

What if a guy still doesn't notice me?
What do I do then?

Well, you could show him that you're
interested.

How?

Uh, by giving him a certain kind of
smile.

Let me try.

told me that I should act dumb around
the guy and pretend he's smarter than

Is that true?

Absolutely not.

If a man doesn't like an intelligent
woman, he is a man not worth having.

Well, I got a lot of work to do.

If I'm going to use my purse, I'm going
to have to take my bug collection out of

it.

Miss Summers, I really want to thank you
for all your help. Oh.

Don't worry.

You'll be great.

I sure hope so.

Let me try the smile again. Okay.

underneath some glasses.

Where's Billy? Oh, she went home.

Dora, we're going to hit some fly balls.

Rick, there's something you should know.

Really, what?

Well, I think you should stop thinking
of Billy as one of the guys and start

thinking of her as one of the girls.

Why would I want to do a thing like
that?

Because she has a crush on you.

Billy?

Oh, no.

Well, listen, I really don't need any
more insurance, so I...

Well, yeah, but I really don't need...

realize you were talking on the phone.
I'm not.

He is.

What's up, son?

Dad, I've got a problem that's really
bugging me.

What's her name?

Why do you always assume it's a girl?
I've got other problems.

It could be about school or one of the
guys.

Is it about school or one of the guys?

No, it's about a girl.

It's Billy. Something terrible's
happened.

She broke her arm.

No. She's fallen in love with me.

Oh.

But her arm's all right?

Dad. Well, son, I'm sorry. I just don't
see what's so terrible that she's fallen

in love with you.

Unless it affected her pitching.

Dad, I really need some help here.

I'm sorry, son. Here. Let me get rid of
this guy.

Listen, I really don't...

Rick, that wouldn't be polite.

Son, you were saying?

See, I've always thought of Billy as one
of the guys. I mean, we're teammates.

A great battery combination.

But her falling in love with me is going
to change all that.

Does it have to?

Sure. If I go out to the mound for a
conference, she's liable to hug me or

something.

That would be embarrassing.

I like Billy the way she is. I don't
want her to change.

Rick, everything changes.

In fact, the absurd man is he who never
changes.

I got that in a fortune cookie.

Been waiting eight years to use it.

But I don't want Billy to change.

It's not easy to find a girl who really
knows how to spit.

Why don't you have to ruin... things. I
fall in love with me.

Rick, Billy's at that age. It's only
natural she wants to be a little more

feminine.

Besides, she's not the first girl to
succumb to your charms.

Why am I cursed with this animal
magnetism?

What is it that draws women to the
Ricker?

I think we can rule out humility.

How do I tell Billy I just want us to be
friends?

You know, something similar to this
happened to me once in college.

Really? Yeah, I used to earn extra money
on the weekends tutoring.

I met a Russian exchange student named
Svetlana Porchnik.

John and I had to spend a lot of time
together working on her English, and we

got to be pretty good friends. And then
all of a sudden, she up and tells me,

What does that mean?

Help on drowning?

No,

that's Russian for I love you.

Well, anyway, I didn't feel near the
same way, but...

It's kind of a touchy situation because
I don't want to get mad at me.

She had a bad temper?

Yeah.

Also, she was a... husky woman.

Real husky?

About two twinkies shy of 385 pounds.

But finally, one day, I grabbed my first
aid kit and went to tell her how I

felt.

What did you say?

I said, Svetlana, I really value our
relationship, but if you try to make it

romantic, we might lose our friendship.

Now, please put me down.

That's great, Dad. I'm going to say that
to Billy. I better rehearse it a few

times.

I'll get that, son. You work on it.

Dad? Yeah.

I hope Billy doesn't look at me and
say...

Let's have your blue -blue.

Blue -blue, son.

Blue -blue too, Dad.

Yes, can I help?

I'd rather you didn't call me Billy
anymore.

I prefer to use my given name,
Wilhelmina.

Well, won't you come in, please,
Wilhelmina?

I hardly recognize you. You look so
beautiful.

Really? Absolutely.

Thank you.

That's pretty dress, too.

Great color.

Well, the color's okay, but I like this
dress because it's long enough to hide

the scabs on my knees.

I'll get Rick for you.

Oh, no, no, wait.

There's no hurry.

Could we sit and talk for a while?

Sure, here.

What's on your mind?

You see, the thing is... Oh, excuse me.

You

see,

the thing is, I'm sort of interested in
a certain guy.

Billy.

I think you should be telling this to
Rick.

Why? Not Rick I'm interested in.

If it isn't, who is it?

a little bit high density.

If you don't want to eat it, you could
always use it as a paperweight.

Oh, no, I'll just save it for later.

Listen,

Wilhelmina, I'm very flattered that you
like me, but have you considered the

fact that I'm three times older than
you?

lot of good years together before you
croak.

But what I need to know is, how do you
feel about me?

Well, this is very sudden.

Kind of takes me by surprise, you know.

But I think what I should say to you is
this.

Wilhelmina, I really value our
relationship.

But if you try to make it romantic, we
might lose our friendship.

I'm sure you understand.

Yeah, I do. But I'm willing to take that
risk.

Oh.

Well... Well, see, the other problem is
that I'm

already involved with another woman.

Is it an older woman?

Yeah.

Somebody in high school?

Even older than that.

It's my assistant, Kate Summers.

Wow, she is old.

Miss Summers for advice on how to get
you to notice me.

But she never let on that you were her
babe.

Well, I think that's because she
probably thought that you wanted Ricky

your... babe.

Now I know what it feels like to have a
broken heart.

Oh, Wilhelmina.

I'll never, ever get over losing you.

Well, I know it seems like that now, but
time heals all wounds.

And someday you'll meet somebody and
you'll forget all about me.

No way.

You're pretty.

I am?

Yeah.

Wow.

Thanks.

Listen, do you want to go to the movies?

Okay.

Thank you.
