Here we are, face to face, looking through 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 together, we're gonna find our way.

You and I together,

we're gonna find our way.

You and I together.

We had a major derail in a dead man's circle. Oh, no.

That's all right. We just picked it back up and put it back on the track.

Of course, there was slight damage to the whistle.

Dexter just called. He should be here any second with his nephew, Alfonso.

Rick, it was often nice of you to agree to show him around.

I'll do my best.

After all, he is just a child.

He's only a year younger than you. What's the big difference?

One kid year is equal to ten adult years.

Ask Lauren Green.

Well, that must be them.

Hi, Edward.

Hi, Dex.

Kate, Richard, I'd like you to meet... Where'd he go?

Alfonso, will you... Alfonso!

Alfonso! Yo!

This is Edward Stratton. And that's Kate Plummer.

And that's Richard Stratton.

This is my nephew, Alfonso Spears.

Shake hands with the night people, Alfonso.

Splat them hard!

Listen here, those are people, not a basketball team.

You must be loaded.

I'm sorry.

You must be very wealthy.

That's all right.

Who are you listening to?

Huey Lewis and the News.

Please be taking an interest in current events.

Huey Lewis and the News is a music group.

I knew that.

That's a great bracelet. Where'd you get it?

It's from Thailand. I lived there with my mom for the last two years.

Great primitive craftsmanship.

They gave it away free with two whoppers at the Bangkok Burger King.

So, Alfonso, where's your mom now?

Now she's in Kenya doing scientific research.

She's living in a cave with a baboon family.

Sounds dangerous.

Not if you stand real still and try not to look like a banana.

I had the Go -Go's. Second door to your left.

The Go -Go's is a music group.

I knew that.

Well, Dax, can we get you something?

Yes. Do you have a spare padded saddle?

Come on, what's the matter? One night with old Fonzo and I'm a nervous wreck.

wants is junk food and he leaves the mess wherever he goes and he's

watching this insidious thing it's called mtv

come on dexter that's perfectly normal you

were a teenager once let's get one thing straight i did go through the ages

between 12 and 20 but i was never a teenager

You're just panicking now. Oh, guys.

I think I made a terrible mistake.

My sister was going to put him in this Bridgeford school for boys.

I said, I'll take him.

It's only going to be six months.

Then I realized, it's going to be six months.

Dad, I'm going to take Alfonso down to hang out. Let him meet some of my

friends. Catch you later.

Long gun, one lung.

Meets catch you later on top.

Yeah, you guys be home by six. And don't you tip more than 15%.

Alfonso. Now give me five so I know you're alive.

Alfonso's coming to our high school this year, too.

Oh, yeah? You look pretty young to go to high school.

That's probably because I shaved off my mustache.

So, anyways, Rick,

wait till you hear this.

Okay, last week we were at the police concert out of Rolling Meadows, and you

know that geek Artie and Silverman?

He's there in all leather. Leather pants, leather shirt, leather jacket. He

have looked like a wallet with legs.

So anyways, he's with his girlfriend.

You'll miss my girlfriend.

Want to see a picture of her?

I'll just keep talking, okay?

Yeah, go ahead.

Artie's with his girlfriend now. She's in suede. Now, you've got to picture

this. They're sitting in this wide open field. I hope it didn't start raining.

It started raining.

Found it. Isn't sea hot?

Hey, Nate, let's go watch Max refill the toothpick dispenser.

That's nice, Alfonso. Look.

You don't have to try so hard.

Who, me?

I'm Mr.

Layback.

Layback even further, okay?

My rep's on the line here.

I understand, Rick. And don't worry.

Your rep is safe with me.

Alfonso, what are you doing? Relax.

Trust me.

Hey, guys.

I want to apologize.

I didn't mean to come on so strong.

People need time to get to know you.

I learned that from a very close, personal friend of mine, Michael

What are you doing?

Time out a minute here. Wait a minute.

You're trying to tell us that you know Michael Jackson.

That's right.

The guy who sings Billie Jean. Yeah.

Also beat it, which is what we're doing right now.

I mean, what does your friend think? We got oatmeal for brains or something?

Certainly not.

You see, he has this rare disease.

He thinks, you know, it's famous Jackson.

Reggie Jackson, Jesse Jackson, even Andrew Jackson.

Came down with it in Jacksonville.

No, it's true.

I met Michael Jackson in New York last year. I was breaking in front of Macy's

when all of a sudden he walked right up to me. We shot a couple of moves. We

were even friends ever since.

Why me?

Okay. Well, why don't you show us some of those moves?

Well, I'm a little out of practice.

Yeah, right.

Really, I don't like to show off.

This guy is bogus.

Sure could. You're so cold.

Hey, Rick.

How'd you rep now?

It was great.

You really could have learned those moves from Michael Jackson. I did.

Yeah, but there's only one thing that bothers me.

You told me you went to Thailand last year.

How could you have met Michael Jackson in New York?

Did I say last year? I meant the year before that.

You told me you went to Thailand for two years. Hey, what, in writing a book or

something?

I told you I knew Michael Jackson, and I did.

Hey, man, I'm not lying.

Sure.

Hey, back off, my man, huh?

Hey, Rick, Alfonso just called. He wants you to meet him down at Leave it to

Burgers. He does, does he?

Do you know what he did yesterday at the hangout?

He made this big scene by telling everybody Michael Jackson is his friend.

Gosh, the Michael Jackson?

See? Now he's got cake on.

Well, yeah, well, now wait a minute. Now, this may sound a little

but there are people who have celebrity friends, you know.

I mean, I know Regis Philbin.

The Regis Philbin?

Alfonso told the guys he met Michael Jackson in New York last year.

Wait a minute, he told us he was in Thailand last year. Uh -huh, uh -huh,

exactly.

Gee, if Dexter finds out about this, he's liable to panic and send him to

boarding school.

If the guys find out about it, he'll wish he was in boarding school.

And my rep will be as crummy as a wad of gum stuck to the bottom of a tennis

shoe.

Sounds to me like you're a little more concerned with your reputation than you

are with what Alfonso's going through.

Dad, don't make me feel guilty.

Well, I seem to remember a blonde -haired kid who told his classmates that

was the voice of Scooby -Doo.

It was Hefty the Smurf.

I get your point.

I'll give the kid one more chance.

Good. We'll drop you off at the hangout on the way to the racquet club.

By the way, Dad, who's Regis Philbin?

No, no, no.

See, you've got to move, but you've got to feel the music.

It's like what Michael told me.

You've got to feel the music.

Wow.

That's heavy.

You think you can give me a dance lesson this week?

No can do, babe.

Book's off.

If there's a cancellation, I'll let you know.

Really? All right, thanks, Big A.

No,

no, no dance machine.

One, two, three, step, step.

Hi, Rick.

I found some quick talk for a minute. Sure, come over to my booth.

It looked like you lost a friend.

I'm considering it.

Anybody we know?

So, Fonzo, let's get right to the point.

Sooner or later, everybody's going to find out that you don't know Michael

Jackson. Hey, everybody!

You're not going to believe who's coming this way. Now, Fonzo, wait a minute.

This is important.

Just like they say.

The bigger they are, the nicer they are. Yeah.

When the word filtered down to the racquetball courts, we just had to get

here.

Yeah, well, I was also skunking you 20 zip.

Yeah, lucky for you, Michael showed up when he did, huh?

Well, um, thanks for dropping by, MJ.

Give my love to Latoya.

You helped silence a few doubters who didn't think he could be...

That guy is not Michael Jackson.

He's a lookalike.

You people, you're animals!

His name is Norman Williamson.

I paid him 50 bucks to show up here.

Look back at this and laugh.

Many, many years.

Alfonso, I can't believe you did this.

I tried to help you out, but knowing you had to make a fool of me, my friends,

and my family.

I thought we were going to be friends.

You did?

Yeah, but friends have to be able to trust each other, so forget it.

I guess I never had a friend long enough to find that out.

By the time I get to know somebody, it's time to say goodbye.

Adios.

Sayonara.

someone so small, you certainly get into a disproportionate amount of trouble.

Okay, Dex, calm down. Calm down? Look at these damages.

Two broken chairs, four shattered moopow creamers, and that impersonator's

jacket. Do you know what it's going to cost to repair 16 broken zippers?

I'll pay you back.

I'm overlawn every weekend.

I have an apartment.

Look, I really believe it's best for all concerned If you attend that Bridgeford

school for boys, I'm sorry, Alfonso, it's not your fault.

I'm just not equipped to handle a teenager.

I get the... Impatient.

Come on.

We'd better go and pack.

I don't have to.

I never unpacked.

No big deal.

I'm used to moving on.

Dexter?

Nobody's more mad at this guy than I am.

But I know what he's going through. I mean, I moved around a lot, too.

I never felt like I belonged anyplace until I got here.

Dex, I was just as unprepared to have a child as you.

I was terrified of the responsibility, but believe me, my life is ten times

better since Rick's been a part of it.

That's a thousand percent return on your emotional investment.

What do you say, Dex?

One more chance?

Oh, Richard, we're worlds apart.

I just don't see us communicating.

We could try.

Look, I even bought a Beethoven tape for my Walkman.

Opus 25, Serenade in D.

I love that.

I think this guy Beethoven would sell a lot more records if he had a video.

Well, maybe I was a bit hasty.

I'm sorry if I lied.

It's just that I wanted everybody to like me.

I understand.

I promise.

I'll never do it again.

Well, in that case, we'll give it a try.

Okay?

I will never... regret this, Dexter.

Yeah, Dex, maybe someday you'll listen to some Stray Cats.

No pets.

Stray Cats is a music group.

You knew that.

Um, Rick, can we still be friends?

Friends.

Show them what we got.

Together, we're going to find our way.

Together,

taking the time each day to learn all about

those things you just can't hide.

Too soon, the school's together.
