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

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

way You and I together

Okay, now we're all plugged into computer network. We're all set to grok.

Wow, this is the first time I ever groked.

Well, it's easy.

All groking means is talking to other computer users.

First, you need a handle.

Mine is The Ricker.

Then you just type in your message.

Here's The Ricker's joke of the day.

What city is known as the Big Egg?

I guess I'll have to give the answer myself.

New York.

These people really appreciate good humor.

Oops.

Well, there's someone who understands me.

It's a girl I've been grokking with for the last few weeks.

The letters stand for Lady Godiva.

Whoa.

Yeah. Just the other day, she said I made her modem quiver.

Well, we're off to the theater.

What are you going to see?

A new Broadway musical about the life of Joseph Staline.

It's called That Rusky Rascal.

What are you guys going to be doing? Oh, we'll be messing around with the

computer. Right now we're talking to somebody named...

Lady Godiva.

Oh, there's a provocative pseudonym.

They're really great.

We've been having some terrific conversations the last few weeks.

We both have so much in common. We both love Prince.

Uncanny.

Now, you never actually met this girl. I mean, in person. No.

We get along so well over the computer. I don't want to mess with the magic.

Yeah, besides, she might be a...

is a typical male attitude.

I mean, the only thing that matters is whether or not she's pretty.

Come on, Kate. When you're a 14 -year -old kid, that's kind of the way you

about blind dates.

Not that that's right. That's wrong.

Definitely wrong.

There are many women who could enrich your lives who are beautiful on the

outside.

For example, I mean, what man would turn down a date with Eleanor Roosevelt?

Not me, boy.

If she calls, I'm there.

I poke fun. Seriously, Rick.

You know, if you really like this girl, there's no reason you shouldn't meet

her. Yeah.

Why shouldn't I meet somebody I've enjoyed grokking with?

Yeah. I'm going to ask her out. All right.

All right.

Well, we don't want to be late.

We don't want to miss the Ruski Rasko. Oh, yes. They say the opening number is

supposed to be terrific. Imagine 40 gorgeous girls in fur hats going...

Dosvidanya.

Here it goes.

Let's see. I'm going to make it for Friday.

No, no, no. Saturday.

Wait a minute. Why am I so cocky? This girl sounds terrific.

She might have hundreds of guys asking her out.

She might even say no.

Yes, you're pretty, maybe.

There it goes.

There it goes.

Hey, look, you got mail.

Photographed in our bin.

He must be from Lady Godiva. We agreed to exchange pictures.

Her real name is Wanda O. Biddle.

I hope O doesn't stand for... Here I

go.

What is it, Rick?

She's not dressed like Lady Godiva, is she?

Oh, she's... Mom.

Mom.

Boy, did I luck out.

Wow.

I've seen her before.

Somewhere.

I know.

I saw her at the record store.

She must go to Jefferson High School because I saw her with their star

quarterback.

Chip Matheson?

Isn't he a senior?

She's fairly good looking.

Yeah. This is a guy with major chest hair.

Not to mention a cherry red Porsche.

Why would she be going out with you?

Okay, so she's a little pretty.

I'm no Quasimodo.

Look, I'm young. I don't have a lot of chest hair. But I have a lot of other

good qualities.

Wait a minute. I'm on your side. I've always rooted for the underdog.

Man, I gotta get myself a computer.

Soon.

Hi there.

I'm the Ricker.

Not for a while.

Here I am going to bed before you.

It's a sign you're getting older and I'm... Then I'm going to

ask you something.

And I want you to give it to me straight.

Okay?

What do you think of my ears?

The truth?

The truth.

Okay, you asked for it. Here goes.

Your ears are perfectly normal.

blinded by parental love.

Rick, ears are silly flaps that stick out the side of your head.

They're for listening. They're not for looking at.

It's not just my ears.

My nose is not properly centered.

My feet are way too long for my body.

Look at this.

It's like I'm standing on two levels of pumpernickel.

Well, son, your body's just going through changes now, that's all.

You don't look bad. It just feels that way.

It feels that way because it is that way.

Tell you what, why don't you turn in, huh?

I promise you, in the morning you may be surprised at how small your ears get.

Good night.

Good night.

Hi, Alfonso.

Hi,

Rick. How do I look?

Hey, you're down to one blemish.

Way to go.

Thanks.

Do you actually... I actually had the nerve to show up for this date.

Of course I did.

Well, you will, Mary.

Alfonso, it's not what a person looks like that counts.

I mean, take Eleanor Roosevelt, for example.

I hate to tell you this, Rick.

Eleanor Roosevelt was a lot better looking than you.

That's true.

Well, aren't you going to go talk to Lady Godiva?

She's here? Where?

Right over there.

She's even more beautiful than her picture.

You don't need scotch tape, do you?

Excuse me?

Never mind.

Wanda?

Yes?

Um, Rick.

It is you.

I thought that picture you sent me was a gag.

Not disappointed, are you? Oh, no. I guess I'm just used to older guys.

With normal ears.

to be with you?

Oh, I get it.

Mercy date, right, hon?

What can I get you, sweetie?

Oh, I'd like something that doesn't take too long.

Crackers will be fine.

To go.

And you, Quasimodo?

I'd like an order of fries.

You think that's wise with your complexion?

I'll just have some crackers, too.

To order the crackers for the princess and the frog!

Would you like that?

I guess it won't kill me.

Is that right, Dumbo?

Well, maybe you'll learn to talk when you get some chest hair.

I missed you so much.

Especially the last few minutes.

I really, really, really missed you.

Ditto, babe.

I got my Porsche out front.

Oh, kid.

I think I ran over your tricycle.

I'm sorry it didn't work out.

It's just that you're so ugly.

Rhonda, wait!

I told you not to go on this date.

seen such a great pair of ears?

Rick, you're letting your fears and your ears get the best of you.

We all have things that we're afraid of, but if we let those fears control us,

then we lose out on the good stuff.

Yeah, you know, if I'd let my fears stop me, I would have missed something

really wonderful.

I'd get married to Kate.

Aw, that's sweet.

Come on, Rick. Go on the date. Give it a try.

Who knows? You may even like it.

Well, okay.

I mean, how horrible can it be?

All right.

It's not like I'm getting married or anything.

Well, come on, son.

Oh, Dad, you don't have to drive me.

I can just flap my ears and fly down there.

He's Rick Stratton.

Rick Stratton.

You've got a date with the Ricker?

What a babe!

He is to die.

To die.

He's really something, huh?

Something. He is so popular.

He dresses super cool.

He's a letterman on the soccer team.

Talk about cute legs!

You have to promise and call me and tell me everything.

I promise. I want all the details, even down to the color of his socks.

No, thanks, Sugar Plum.

Want to dance?

Sorry. My dance class is filled this evening.

I'm here to meet a very special lady.

Plenty of fabric.

Interesting nose.

You really think so?

Yeah.

Kind of grows on you.

You have a very good sense of humor.

Yeah.

I'm here.

Wanda. Yeah.

I guess I should call you Rick.

So, uh... Um... Uh... You want to sit down? Yeah.

on a diet you're on a diet yeah don't you think i should be of course not

you're the kind of person that makes other people go on diets you mean it

mean looks on everything right yeah i guess i've always felt like i was

overweight i think it started when i was nine and my mom enrolled me in ballet

school oh you don't want to hear all this sure i do i'm all ears

I'm fine.

I know what I wanted to ask you about.

Remember when we were groggy one day, you said you were building that science

project? My working model on Mount St. Helens.

Well, it worked a little too well.

I guess I misjudged the pressure, and to make a long story short, they're still

trying to get the red cream of wheat off the science lab ceiling.

That's like that always happens to me.

I'd love to.

I hope I'm as good a dancer as Chip Matheson is.

Chip Matheson?

Yeah.

Somebody said they saw you with him.

Oh, no. Chip dates my older sister.

Sometimes they let me hang out with them.

Oh.

Oh!

You know, this may sound silly, but...

Bet you weren't nervous.
