Together, we're taking the time to change.

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

To build a group together.

You can do it.

Well, I don't know.

Well, sure you can, honey. Anybody can read and count and deal blackjack. Now,

you have a jack and a four.

What's the rule with 14 showing?

What do you do?

It's up to you.

This could take all night.

Maybe I better call my folks and tell them not to expect me.

That's a good idea.

Cadet, is it okay if Greg sleeps over?

Sure, if it's okay with his folks.

Well, I'll call my mom and find out. May I please use your phone?

Yeah, sure. It's in the kitchen.

Will you excuse me, please, sir?

Oh, sure, Greg.

Thank you, sir.

What's the matter with that kid?

Nothing. He's just a rare bird called a polite teenager.

It ain't natural.

How come we haven't seen Greg around here before?

He just transferred to our school last week, and I've been kind of showing him

around.

Seems like a nice kid.

You know, I think I finally got the hang of it.

But Jack is wild, right?

Well, Mom said it's okay, and to thank you for the invitation.

So, thank you for the invitation.

Great.

Well, honey, with all this excitement, I'm falling asleep.

It's no use, Edward. I'll never learn to deal blackjack by tomorrow night. I'd

better deal poker.

You don't know the first thing about poker.

Well, you can teach me.

We're going to hit the sack, Dad, okay? Good night.

Good night, Mr. Stratton. Good night, Mr. Stratton. Good night, Mr. Steffen.

Good night, Marie.

And thanks again for letting me sleep over. No problem.

Do you have to be so polite?

I can't help it. Old people bring out the worst in me.

So, you like to party?

Of course.

Who doesn't?

Great. Because I know this guy, and his parents have left him alone in his

house. And he's throwing a party tonight.

So you want to go?

No, I've got a lacrosse game before school tomorrow.

Well, this is going to be a very, very special party.

What's so special about it?

Well, if you want to find out, come with me.

Hey, can I borrow this jacket?

Yeah, sure.

Excellent.

So, are you coming?

I don't know.

Hey, come on now. Don't be chicken.

Greg, I'm not chicken.

Good.

Then let's go.

How late would we be?

What's the difference? We sneak out, we sneak back in.

I don't have to sneak out. If I wanted to go, I'd just ask my dad.

Are you kidding?

No father in his right mind is going to let his kid go to this party.

That good, huh?

Well, have fun.

Even if the girls do outnumber the guys five to one.

But one.

And maybe more.

Well, if it means that much to you.

What are you doing? Just in case anyone looks in on you.

Sleep tight, Ricker.

Marie,

you're a lifesaver. If you weren't here for the next couple of weeks, I would be

going crazy.

That's why I get the big buck.

Oh, I've got the auditors coming in. Edwards, Monte Carlo night. My Mercedes

making funny noises.

Yeah, life can be such a drag.

Morning, Marie.

Good morning, Mr. Stratton.

Boys aren't up yet? Oh, I called them. No answer.

Yeah, we'll let them sleep for five more minutes, huh?

Yo!

You want to eat?

Get on your feet!

That ought to wake them up.

Woke me up.

Coast is clear.

Come on.

We're home. You can open your eyes now.

If I open my eyes, my brains will ooze out.

Did you ever see so much booze in your life?

Wow, what a party, huh?

Greg, tell me the truth. Last night, did I eat a cat?

Not that I noticed.

Why? Because my tongue feels like a furball.

Damn it. I told you you'd have a good time.

Greg, you can keep my jacket if you sneak in the house and get me a can

I... cold apple juice.

Well, get it together. Now, come on. I can't go inside.

They'll know we've stayed out all night drinking.

Not if you do what I tell you.

Now, just wait here a minute, okay?

And here.

Use this.

Okay, now when we get inside, I want you to shout, hi, we're home.

I can't shout.

My head will explode.

The thing you do is smile and be bright.

Do everything I do. Nobody will know anything.

Believe me, I've done this a hundred times.

Well, how come you're not dead?

Because I know how to handle it.

I can't face my parents like this.

Well, you know what I always do?

What?

This.

Amateurs.

False alarm.

Open wide.

These eggs are getting cold.

Hi, Dad.

Hi, Keith.

Hello, Marie. Do you have any apple juice?

Where you guys been?

Well, we've been... Well, we got up early and jogged to the market.

And I bought you these as a thank you gift for your hospitality.

Oh, well, thank you very much. That's very thoughtful of you. But didn't Rick

tell you that we have holly trees in the garden?

Well, yes, he did.

But I think that you'll find this variety has more berries.

I think you're right.

Well, we're out of apple juice.

But how about this?

Prune juice.

Never mind.

Well, these eggs have been sitting here for more than ten minutes. Don't blame

me if they're cold and greasy.

Personally, I prefer them like this.

Now, why doesn't that surprise me?

You look like death warmed over. You all right?

Dad, I've never felt better in my life.

How did you two sack out last night?

Oh, we went to sleep real early. And then we got up and got dressed and went

jogging.

And those clothes?

Well... What's the matter?

My throat hurts when I talk.

I see your eyes.

Are your eyes bloodshot?

Oh.

Well, yes, they are, sir.

They always get like this when I'm coming down with the flu.

Well, do you think you should be going to school if you're coming down with the

flu? I mean, you don't want to give your germs to everyone in the class.

Oh. I hadn't thought of that.

Do you think it would be okay if I stayed here in bed until my mom comes

from work? I'll phone her, of course.

What? Sure.

Marie can keep an eye on you.

Just don't breathe on me, okay?

Oh, no.

I think I'm catching it, too.

I thought you just said you felt great.

I did?

Oh, right.

But shouldn't I stay here and keep Greg company?

He doesn't need company. He needs breath.

Besides that, don't you have a lacrosse game today?

Yeah, I do this morning.

Well, if you hurry up, Kate and I will drop you off at school.

And, Rick? Yeah? Don't forget the body checks.

Hey, how much money have you got on you?

Rick,

money. I need money. How much have you got?

What do you need money for?

I've got a date.

A date?

Yeah, with this great -looking model.

I'm meeting her at Rockefeller Center today, and I need $25 to take her to

lunch.

All I've got is $3.

Look, this is really important to me, Rick.

And don't forget who took you to that party last night.

How could I forget?

Well, if you told your dad how badly you needed a new lacrosse stick... Oh, hi,

Mr. Stratton.

You need a new lacrosse stick?

Huh?

Oh, yeah.

Well, you see, my old one is really... old.

Well, see how it does today, and then we'll talk about it, huh? We'd better

hurry up, son. Have a good day, sir.

You too, Greg, and I hope you feel better. Thank you, sir.

Here, you can have this.

Three dollars? Come on! What kind of a lunch am I supposed to buy with that?

You said she's a model.

They don't eat.

I make it $270. We're $30 short.

Are you sure, Dexter?

I'm an accountant with a degree from Harvard. Of course I'm sure.

I think.

Well, it doesn't make sense. Why would somebody take $30 and leave over $200?

Well, maybe they felt sorry for someone dumb enough to leave that much money

lying around.

No offense.

Well, I guess we should be grateful it's only $30.

Well, $30 would send another kid to camp.

Or reform school.

Now, if I was a betting lady, which I'm not, I'd lay to one that some overly

polite... He didn't steal it.

Who? Greg did.

Why on earth did Greg... He borrowed it. You can't take a fashion model out to

lunch on $3.

Am I the only one having a problem following the story?

Probably.

Son, maybe you better start from the beginning. Here are the costumes you

for tonight.

Well, thanks, Kate. Why Rick? Oh, that reminds me. I borrowed $30 from the bank

this morning.

Uh -oh.

I put it back.

Uh, I think I better try on my costume.

This looks expensive. It must be mine.

Listen, about my dealing... Yeah, just one sec, Kate. Rick, why would you think

a nice guy like Greg would still... borrow money?

I don't know. I just did.

Well, what money?

Unless you know something about Greg that we don't. No, Dad, there's nothing.

What about Greg?

I just made a mistake.

He said something about needing money, so I just put two and two together

and I've got homework to do.

I look like the doorman at the Hilton.

No, you don't. You look wonderful.

Taxi!

As I walked out on the streets of Laredo, tripped on my spurs and fell

on my... These costumes

are great.

I thought this was supposed to be Monte Carlo night.

It is.

And why is he dressed up for a shootout at the O .K. Corral?

You want to make something of it, pilgrim?

They're here already?

We don't have the banner up. Where's the banner? Where's the banner? The banner

over here.

I got it.

Hey, Greg, come in. How you doing, buddy?

All right.

Ooh, nice.

Ah, evening, sir.

Evening, ma 'am.

Evening, sir. Oh, hi, Greg. Hi, Greg.

So, are you going to stay around for the fun?

Well, no, sir. As a matter of fact, I was hoping to entice Rick here into

joining some of my old friends and meet burgers.

Well, not tonight, Greg. I've got to stay here and help out.

Right, Dad?

Oh, no, son. You go ahead. We've got plenty of wranglers here.

I don't know, Dad.

Will you excuse us for a minute, please?

Look, I've got a little surprise for you.

See that door?

That's a surprise.

Just open the door.

What's behind there? You'll see.

Girl.

Very good.

This is Debbie.

She's with me. And this is Allison.

She's with you.

Hi, Rick.

Greg told me you were cute and he was right.

Thanks. Come on in.

Getting ready for a party?

And my folks are.

Mr. and Mrs. Stratton, Mr.

Steffens, may I present Allison Galt and Debbie Curtin.

Hi, how you doing? Hi, girls, nice to meet you. Can we help out with anything?

Well, I'll tell you what, you can help us with some of these balloons.

Rick, can I talk to you for a second, huh?

What are you doing?

Checking.

What for?

It's my hobby. I like to check covers.

Did you go into the city today?

What? You know, to see that model. What model?

Oh, uh, no. Something came up.

Hey,

that's Dad.

Don't get excited. It's just a loaner. Come on, put it back.

Relax. I'll replace it.

Give it to me, Greg.

Hey, come on. Will you cool it? Come on.

What are you guys doing?

Nothing.

Well, let's go.

You are coming, aren't you, Rick?

I don't know.

Oh, come on.

Please.

Well, okay.

That's better.

Well, come on. Let's go.

Right. Dad, we're just going to burgers, okay?

Okay, son. Boy, you guys are amazing.

Where'd you get your energy? Out of a bottle?

Well, goodbye, Mr. Stratton. Goodbye, Mr. Stratton. Goodbye, Mr. Stuffin.

Goodbye, Greg.

Hey, guys.

Do you think this sign looks professional enough?

I'd be glad we got it right side up.

Long Branch Saloon.

Hey, hi, Malcolm.

You can't make it. You're the only one that can run the crap table.

There are 50 people coming, Malcolm. Can't you wait till tomorrow?

If you have to be there, I guess I understand.

I hope it's a boy.

No, I don't. I hope it's a girl.

top up. I'm freezing.

You want to come over here?

I like your idea even better.

Hey, you guys want some of this?

No.

Good, because you can't have any.

Hey, come on, get some decent music. That's garbage.

How do you guys know Greg?

He used to go to our school.

Oh, I almost forgot.

I've got something for you.

Where did this beer come from?

Milwaukee, I guess.

The thing is, Alice, I'm like... You see, I quit.

Well, one beer won't hurt you, will it?

No, I guess not, thanks.

It was really a panic when Greg got kicked out of school.

Did he tell you about it?

He got kicked out of school?

Yeah. He got drunk and tried to kiss the vice principal.

Greg said she reminded him of his father.

You know, I want to dance.

Down, Greg.

I want to dance. Come on.

Look, I think we should go. He's pretty drunk.

Hey, nobody's drunk.

And nobody goes.

Hey, give me the keys.

Get out of here, will you?

Now what do we do?

Wait until he passes out. This happens all the time.

You've got to be kidding.

We could try to make the best of it.

something. I guess I was wrong.

Want to share that?

What?

Oh.

Yeah, sure.

Police! What's going on here?

Having a good time? Yeah.

Are we doing as well as I think we are?

Edward, Kate, just in case I don't see you again, I'd like to thank you for

trusting me with this much money. Bye.

I'll take that, stranger.

Ooh, it's ten o 'clock and they're still arriving.

Don't let them in till you see the color of their money.

Mr. Stratton?

Yeah, what's the matter?

Rick, what's going on?

We found your son and some of his friends drinking in the back of a parked

That must be some mistake.
