We're going

to

find our way.

Together, taking the time to stay.

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

To build a group together.

You have to get...

Are the internal revenue auditors still there?

They're gone.

How much is it going to cost us?

Nothing?

Damn right nothing. We run a tight ship, right, Dex?

Oh, boy, I'm so glad this is over.

I could kiss you.

Yeah, I owe you a night on the town.

Who are you going to kiss?

Dexter. Again?

Honey, we just had the audit. It's all over, and we don't owe one red cent in

taxes.

Well, why don't you kiss me, and I'll pass it on to Dexter.

Yeah.

What's this?

Hmm. Alaskan king crab, imported cheeses, canapes, and to top it all off,

caviar. Caviar? I'm glad we didn't have the IRS audit here.

It's not every day that my best friend from college comes to visit. Well, I

to impress her with a gourmet spread.

Why is it when my friends from college come to visit, they get liverwurst?

Some of your friends, liverwurst is gourmet.

Anyway, I want everything to be just right for Jackie's visit, that's all.

Don't sit there.

Well, I'm going to sit on the floor.

No, it's just been waxed. Honey, will you relax?

Come on, she's your friend.

Aren't you getting a little carried away?

Oh, I can't help myself.

Jackie always affects me this way. She always did me one better in college, and

for some reason, I'm always trying to measure up to her.

Measure up? Kate, come on. You're the president of one of the biggest toy

companies in the country.

You had your picture on the cover of a national magazine. New York voted you

businesswoman of the year. You're on top of the heap. You're right. I am on top

of the heap.

How do I look?

You look fabulous.

Maybe I better go change.

All right, guys, I'll see you later. I'm going over Alfonso's. Hold it. You

can't go to Alfonso's. Why not?

Because my best friend is coming to visit, I told you.

Yeah, but Alfonso and I are supposed to hang out.

Well, you'll just have to hang out here.

Yeah, don't feel bad, bud. I can't even sit on the floor.

Yeah, this is important to me. I made a special dinner, and I want both of you

here. But, Kate, this isn't fair. I mean, I hate being stuck with a bunch of

senior citizens.

Senior citizens?

I'll get that.

You just stay right here, and I'll work my way over there.

And now, boy, oh, boy.

I'll get it. I'll get it. Oh, Edward, Edward, you stand there.

Rick, you stand over here.

Yeah, oh, and... He wants to stand at attention or at ease.

Oh, is that all you can say after all these years?

Oh!

I mean it.

You look so... Yeah, you sure do.

Oh, thank you. You must be Edward.

Oh, lucky guess. And this is my stepson, Rick. Hi, Rick. Pleased to meet you.

Yeah, I've been looking forward to meeting you, too. I was just telling

I can't believe it.

You're really here.

Oh, this is nice. I'm impressed.

Well, it's not much, but we kids like it.

Well, here, sit down.

We have so much to talk about.

Edward, would you mind getting us some wine?

Huh?

Wine. Ah, yeah.

Would you like that on the rocks or straight up?

Oh, why don't we live dangerously? I'll take it straight up.

Kate, you look wonderful. I'm so glad you never changed your hairstyle.

Well, actually, it's not the same.

But you've certainly changed yours.

How do you stay so young -looking? I have to.

There's not a person over 25 working at that magazine, except for me, of course.

What magazine did you say you were working for?

I'm the editor of Rad.

Rad? Kate, Rad's the hottest thing in the rock world. I can't believe you're

editor. I bought the latest issue yesterday.

Wait until you see next month's issue. I'm doing a whole spread on Mike and the

Mechanics. Mike and the Mechanics. I've loved Mike ever since he was in Genesis.

You know, I'm the one who talked Phil Collins into going on tour with Genesis

again. You're kidding.

You know who's going to open for him? Simply Red.

He is?

Simply Red.

What do his friends call him? Simp?

Did you hear Steve Howe left Asia?

Yes. And he's playing with Stephen Hackett. No.

How about some caviar? Oh, no thanks. They're going to call themselves GTR.

Wow. What'd I miss?

Beats me.

I certainly hope you're hungry. I made a wonderful dinner.

Oh, I hope you're not planning to eat early because I've got to do an

in an hour. Well, you just got here. I know. They left a message for me at the

airport. I've got to interview the stray dog.

You're going to interview the stray dog? Yeah.

The whole litter.

Well, here's to a successful interview.

Don't forget to wear your flea collar.

I gotta go. Kate, why don't you come with me? You could meet the stray dog.

No, thanks.

I think I already saw them on Wild Kingdom.

Rick, I'm sure Jackie doesn't want you hanging around while she's working. I

don't mind, really.

Well, all right, then.

What about Alfonso?

Who?

Alfonso, your friend, remember? The one you were going to hang out with?

Oh, well, I'll see him tomorrow. I'll have more to tell him.

We won't be long.

Allow me.

Why, thank you.

Well, so far, it's been a fun visit.

Honey, they'll be back in a little while.

Edward, do you think she looks younger than I do?

Kate.

It's after 11.

They're left here at 5.

Maybe they took the stray dog for a walk.

It's a stray dog.

hours to make that stupid dessert.

I enjoyed it.

I made it for Jackie.

I enjoyed hers, too.

They're not helping, Edward.

Honestly.

Guys, what a night.

I'm really sorry that we're late, but the group had a couple of new songs they

wanted to try out, and then they asked us to eat with them. You ate with the

stray dogs?

Yeah. What kind of food? Dry or moist?

Dad, they actually asked my opinion about the songs. It was great. I told

the arrangement needs more guitar.

Oh, I'm sure they appreciated that. He was a big hit. They told him to learn an

instrument and they make him a stray dog.

What we've always wanted for Rick.

Well, Jackie, what do you want to do now?

Aren't you a little bit tired, buddy?

Tired? Boy, I sure know I am.

Yeah, me too.

Night, Dad. Night, Kate.

Good night, Jackie. Oh, good night, Rick.

That's some young man you got there.

All I'm saying is Jackie's been here for three days and I haven't spent any time

with her. Well, honey, she is here on business.

Oh, I know.

Well, then you're going to spend time with her tonight at the restaurant.

Yeah, but you and Dexter are going to be there.

Well, the dinner is for Dexter. And I'm paying for it, so I guess we kind of

have to be there.

You know what I mean. I just haven't had a chance to talk to her yet.

I heard you talking to her. I mean about important things like careers and

politics and world peace.

Ah, girl talk.

I'll watch you meet her, okay?

You'll be fine.

Hi.

Anyone for pizza?

Pizza? We're taking Dexter out to dinner tonight.

To a very expensive restaurant. I don't spoil your appetite.

I forgot all about it.

Look, guys, I don't have to go, do I?

Hate always makes me wear a tie.

You don't have to go.

I'll wear the tie.

Great, I'll take my dinner in the kitchen.

I picked Rick up after school. He wanted me to meet a few of his friends.

Oh, I hope you weren't too bored.

Bored? I was asked to the senior prom.

Twice. I'll bet.

Jackie, don't forget that rock video you promised to show me.

I'll go get it.

Rick, it's really nice of you to spend so much time with Jackie.

Oh, I don't mind, Kate.

Besides, it's nice to talk to a grown -up who doesn't make you feel like a

Do I make you feel like a kid?

Sure, but that's your job.

It's both of our jobs.

And by the way, you're both very good at it.

Anyway, Jackie is so cool, Kate.

It's hard to even imagine that you two were classmates.

I got it.

Great. You can point out all the people you know.

It's a new group from London called the Falling Bridges. Do you want to see it?

Oh, I can't. I lost my bifocals.

Do I detect a note of jealousy?

Jealousy? Why should I be jealous?

I mean, just because Rick idolizes a woman who's on the first -name basis

the rich and the famous, and she jets us to all the romantic places in the

world. Come on, honey. Didn't you go to Germany just last month?

That was a business trip.

Besides, it wasn't Germany.

It was Bulgaria.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Sounds like we have two teenagers in the house. Yeah.

One of them's my age.

And chocolate mousse, my favorite.

Sure you won't have some, Dex. Oh, no, thank you.

Come on, it's our treat. Don't be bashful. I know, I just don't want to

Unlike you, I can't eat what I want and stay slim and beautiful.

Ooh, that was good.

Tell me more about this Jackie person I was supposed to meet tonight.

Oh, well, she couldn't make it. She got sick. What does she like? Oh, she's

terrific. She's bright, she's funny, she's young -looking, beautiful.

You really like her. Are you kidding? She's a... Okay.

I like that type.

Honey, would you like to dance?

You can dance with your foot in your mouth?

Well, will you look at that?

She's old enough to be his mother.

Maybe she is his mother.

I certainly hope not.

I don't believe you do.

I mean, what if it was an older man and a younger woman?

What's the matter with that?

Yeah, you know, it's normal for a man.

And for a woman, it's abnormal?

No, it's not abnormal.

It's thick.

For your information, Jackie, who Edward thinks the world of, dates a lot of

younger guys.

Yeah? Mm -hmm. How much younger?

Pretty young. She told me she dated Johnny Rival.

Ooh.

The Johnny Rival, the rock star? Mm -hmm.

Much older than Rick. Yeah, it was a little more than just dating, if you

what I mean. Ooh.

Well, that's every young boy's fantasy, isn't it?

To make it with a sexy, older woman?

And you say Rick is seeing a lot of this Jackie?

Thanks for the dinner.

Rick? Jackie?

Oh, no.

You don't seem to be down here.

Oh, no.

Rick, where'd you get that robe?

Oh, it's a thank you present from Jackie.

You know, Dad, for showing her a good time.

Oh, no.

Will you stop saying, oh, no?

So, uh, where is Jackie?

She was up in bed last time I saw her.

Oh, no.

Uh, I think I'll go upstairs and see how my sick friend is.

And by the way, Kate, she feels a lot better now.

Rick, what happened tonight?

Dad, dad, dad.

Dad, tonight...

I had the most incredible experience of my whole life.

Incredible experience.

Do you want to talk about it? Talk about it? Dad, I feel like opening the front

door and letting the whole world know.

Tell your father first.

Dad, I spoke to Bruce Springsteen.

You already told somebody?

Bruce Springsteen?

Yeah, Dad. Jackie called him in Japan where he's on tour. I spoke to Bruce for

over an hour. He asked me who my favorite group is, my favorite band.

the experience?

Was it ever?

I think I have to sit down.

I'm glad you feel better.

Yeah, I mean, it must have been a flu or something.

Yeah, well, I hear something is going around.

Sure hope Rick doesn't get it. He spent the whole evening up here.

I guess you and Rick had quite a night.

Yeah, I guess we did.

And Bruce was such a sweetheart.

Bruce? How many kids did you have up here?

Bruce Springsteen. I let Rick talk to him in Japan.

And that's what you and Rick did tonight?

Isn't that enough?

Oh, yeah, well, that's enough, all right.

Oh, what a relief.

I mean, it's perfect, perfect.

Wait a minute.

What do you think we did up here?

Nothing, nothing.

Oh, my God, he's your stepson.

I mean, you really think I'd come here and sit on your stepson?

No, no, of course not. It's just that, well, you live a rather bizarre

lifestyle.

I'm very sorry my lifestyle doesn't measure up to yours.

I didn't say that.

I think you've got a great lifestyle.

You always did.

What does that mean?

I mean you were honor student, valedictorian, most popular girl on

Everybody always loved Jackie.

You were jealous of me.

Were I? I still am.

Why?

Why? Look at you. You've still got it all together. And everything just falls

into place.

And everybody still loves Jackie.

And why shouldn't they?

I mean, who could resist someone with such an exciting life?

Exciting.

Yeah, I mean, one minute you're on your way to Rome, and then it's London or

Paris. Or Cleveland. Or Buffalo.

Or Fargo.

I'm never in one place long enough to get my laundry done, let alone meet

someone. Well, you meet lots of guys. I mean, you even dated Johnny Rivals.

Oh, he's a kid, Kate.

That's why I spend my time with kids.

Well, what about all the glamour? You know, meeting all those celebrities?

That part's not so bad.

Yeah.

But it sure doesn't compare with what you've got.

Me?

You've got this beautiful home. A husband who loves you. A son who brags

you. You're president of your own company.

Rick brags about me?

Every chance he gets.

I guess from where I stood, the grass...

Looked a lot greener.

Because you couldn't see the weeds.

Oh, Jackie.

I'm sorry for what I was thinking.

Well, you should be.

Forgive me?

Oh, hey.

We're friends, aren't we?

You still want to be my friend?

You know, I'm a busy woman, Kate.

I don't have time to make new friends, so I'd better hang on to the ones I've

got.

Aw, you always did know the right thing to say.

Yeah, that's why they made me class valedictorian.

Yeah.

Could I ask you something personal?

What?

Well, you look...

So fantastic.

I was wondering, did you ever have anything... lifted?

No.

Well, a real friend would have said yeah.

Jackie, I put your bags in your car.

Well, thanks, Rick. I guess I'd better get going.

I had a wonderful time, Kate.

I especially enjoyed our little talk.

And don't you forget, next time we meet at my place in California.

It's a deal.

Does that include husbands?

Of course.

The whole family's invited.

Well, goodbye.

Rick, you had your hug.

Jackie will miss her plane.

Really? I'm going to get going.

Bye -bye. Bye.

Goodbye, all.

Goodbye. Bye -bye.

Thank you.

Well, did you have a nice visit?

I had a wonderful time.

I even got a chance to learn something about the rock scene.

I'll get it.

Hello?

Yes, it is.

Uh, she just left.

Yeah, I can get a message to her.

Uh -huh.

Call Mick in London.

Mm -hmm.

Oh, thank you, Mr. Jagger.

So anyway, I just...
