Still we are, in faith, a silver spoon.

Hoping, fighting, two of a kind.

Making it go, making it grow.

we're going to find our way.

Together, taking the time we trade.

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

Because we're still so close together.

You and together, we're gonna find our way.

Is there any more coffee?

You want fresh coffee?

Fresh would be nice.

I'd have to make it.

Well, how about some field coffee?

I'd have to make that, too.

Second thought, I'm trying to cut down.

Good. I don't drink it myself.

Makes me irritable.

hammer here.

Oh, honey, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Got it. Oh, thank you.

What's this stuff?

Oh, that's a Rick Science project.

Tell me he's going to grow fungus again.

I'm a little late because I had to pick up his dry cleaning and I took his books

to the library.

Well, couldn't he do that for himself?

Of course, but I offered to help him.

I think some things people should do for themselves.

I picked up your dry cleaning, too.

Well, that's different.

Where was that from?

Dad!

Dad, since when have you been into puzzles?

Since Dex bet me that I didn't have the patience to put the Mona Lisa together.

Oh, well, that's a good bet, Dad.

Thanks. For Dexter.

Anyway, I just spoke to Mom on the phone.

Oh, how nice.

And since she's in town for the weekend, I thought I would surprise her by

cooking dinner for her.

You cook?

That is a surprise.

It'd be an even bigger surprise if she cooked.

Well, Dad, that's just it. You see, whenever Mom comes to town, she always

me out to some fancy restaurant.

So for once, I want to show her how much I appreciate it and cook dinner for her

on Sunday, which happens to be... Mother's Day.

Right. Aha.

Well, that's very thoughtful of you, son, but don't you think maybe you ought

run it by Kate?

Oh, Dad, I am.

See, I'm going to need a lot of help.

Hey, Kate.

Hi.

Kate, would it be okay if I cooked dinner tomorrow night?

Is this for another school project?

No, no, you see, tomorrow is Mother's Day, and I thought it would be nice if I

cooked something real special.

I think that'd be very nice.

Very nice indeed.

So it's okay?

Well, of course.

But are you sure you can handle it?

Kate, come on. You have a million cookbooks here.

I can read. Besides, I can always call on you for help.

That's what I'm here for.

Hello? Oh, hi, Alfonso.

Yeah, yeah, he's right here.

Hey, Alfonso.

How was your date last night?

She was.

She did.

You dog, where'd it go?

That Alfonso, you first date, and he talked her into doing his homework for

Quick, start from the beginning again.

Weren't you almost finished with that?

I thought it'd be more challenging to start over from scratch.

Edward, I just had the nicest talk with Rick.

He tell you about tomorrow?

Yes, he sure did.

I mean about him cooking dinner?

Mm -hmm. Isn't it wonderful?

Wonderful? Yes.

You know, I always thought that Rick saw me as just your wife.

But now I see he thinks of me as more than that. And I can't tell you how

that makes me.

Oh, I hate to hear you say that.

What?

It's for Evelyn.

What's for Evelyn?

This dinner that Rick is cooking.

Yes.

It's for Evelyn.

Well, of course it's for Evelyn. I mean, she's his mother. I mean, what's a

Mother's Day dinner without a mother?

Even if it is Evelyn.

I'm going to have a talk with Rick right now. No, you can't. I don't want you to

say anything.

Honey, I think that Rick needs to... Please, promise me you won't say a word

Rick.

Okay, I promise.

Thank you.

I mean, it was just a case of not thinking. I mean, it could happen to

Honey, Rick should know better.

I was talking about me.

Whose

nose is

this?

What?

Oh, that. I think it's Mona Lisa's.

Well, tell her to keep it off my floor.

Oh, Marie, do you think you could be around tomorrow?

Tomorrow? Yeah, we're expecting Rick's mother.

And you want someone to referee?

Certainly not.

Well, last time she was here, you two really went at it.

Oh, Marie, you're exaggerating.

Well, maybe we had a few words.

Yeah, a couple of words I never heard before.

Well, anyway, she's coming for dinner, and I was hoping you would help us out.

Be glad to.

But I gotta be out of here about seven. I promised my mother I'd take her out to

dinner. Oh, how sweet.

Yeah. I'm taking her to her favorite spot.

Chippendale.

Hi, Marie. Hi, Red.

Kate, which jacket do you think my mother would prefer?

Well, which one did she send you from London?

I believe it was this one.

You're lucky she didn't send you underwear.

Thanks, Kate.

It's what I'm here for.

Honey, you sure you're going to be all right?

Oh, I'll be fine.

I have no problem putting my personal feelings aside and dealing with your ex

-wife in a reasonable, civilized manner.

Or maybe not.

Kate.

Edward? Evelyn?

Katie. Kate. Oh, I keep forgetting.

It's easy. It rhymes with mate.

It rhymes with mate.

So, what are your plans for tonight?

Oh, I'm taking Rick to the theater.

I think he should be exposed to culture now and then.

Just as a change of pace.

Evelyn, you know what your problem is. Hey, Mom.

Richard. Oh.

Well, I would love to hear about my problem, Edward, but the limo's waiting.

Have a good time.

Yeah, have fun.

We always do.

Bye -bye.

Bye.

I don't blame you for letting Evelyn upset you.

I'm not upset, Edward.

Really.

I mean, it's perfectly understandable that Rick should make a fuss over his

mother. I mean, after all, she takes him to wonderful, exotic, glamorous places.

I'm just the one who tells him to clean his room, do his homework, and turn down

a stereo.

Kate, I need to ask you a big favor.

Rick, of course. What can I do for you? Okay, would you pick up this package for

me? We're going to be out late, and besides, I don't want Mom to see it.

Oh, what is it?

Her Mother's Day present.

Thanks, Kate.

these groceries for one dish?

Kate, this is not a dish. It's a rack of lamb, Grimaldi. Of course.

Oh, by the way, I got the gift you wanted for your mom.

Oh, great.

And I went over to Lawson's and picked out the peach -colored roses you wanted.

Terrific. Your mom loves those?

Yeah.

So, what did you guys do last night?

Kate, we had a fantastic time.

You know, I think I found my favorite restaurant.

Oh, I thought the restaurant we took you to for your birthday was your favorite.

But this place didn't just have tacos.

Kate, it is really, really fancy.

And then when we got back to Mom's hotel, guess what?

Uh, Evelyn ordered champagne, cherries jubilee, crepe suzettes from room

service, and eight waiters brought them in on silver trays.

No, it was only three waiters, and it was peach melba.

Oh, which reminds me, I got a stain on my shirt, but I told Mom you could get

out. I said, Mom, if anybody knows anything about cleaning shirts...

It's got to be Kate.

Thank you, Rick.

What kind of stain? Peach melba?

Caviar. Of course. Kids are always spilling their caviar.

It'll have to be pre -soaked.

Oh, thanks, Kate.

Yeah, well, that's what I'm here for.

Okay, roast rack of lamb.

First step, tenderize the lamb.

hidden that meat for.

It's already dead.

Marie, I am tenderizing a rack of lamb.

Back off! You want to wreck the rack, Rick?

Marie, I can handle this myself, thank you very much.

Sure, you can handle making a mess pot just fine.

But guess who's going to have to handle the cleaning up pot?

Marie, don't worry because I'll clean up.

Do you know how many times you've said that?

Well, I assume... 37.

I'll keep track of all your promises.

Marie, I promise, this time will be different.

38!

38.

Just a nose.

I can't take it anymore.

I cook, I clean, I run errands, I do laundry.

Evelyn, Walt is in here once a year taking her to a fancy restaurant in the

theater so that she can get all the attention on Mother's Day.

So what else is new?

Well, I've made up my mind. I'm not going to be here.

Honey, you can't do that. Rick is fixing dinner for all of us. Well, I'll just

eat it in my room.

What? Well, I feel a headache coming on, and it won't go away till Evelyn does.

Uh -oh.

Well, that couldn't be Evelyn. She's not due for another hour, and she's never

been early in her life.

But again, that sounds like her.

Edward?

Evelyn?

You may rise.

Har har.

I know I'm early, but I was hoping to spend a little extra time with Rick.

So, where is that wonderful son of mine?

Uh, well, he's in the kitchen.

Richard! I'm not sure he wants... Richard.

Mom, please don't come in here. This is a surprise.

But, dear... No, no, no, please sit down. Dad will keep you company, won't

Dad? Of course.

But please hurry.

Busy in the kitchen.

Covered with flour?

Is he making a Mother's Day dinner for me?

Can't put anything over on you, can you?

You know, he's quite a young gentleman.

It must be those early years he spent with me.

Evelyn, you know you're not the only one who should take credit for Rick.

Oh, did someone leave the door open? I feel a chill in here.

Oh, Evelyn, you're here.

Oh, Katie.

Kate. I can see we're going to have a great time tonight.

I'm going to go upstairs and put on a tie.

I shouldn't be more than a couple hours?

Well, I guess Rick is so busy in the kitchen.

Do you believe that boy making all this fuss over me?

It's funny how a child can make you feel so special.

Yes, it's funny

Add the carrots and mushrooms into the salad then toss thoroughly.

Speaking of men, how is your husband, the Count?

He's a duke.

Well, I knew he was a royal something or other.

Kate, I knocked over a pot of

boiling water.

Oh, it's okay, Rick. It's not too bad.

Well, I'll get some butter. No, cold water's the best thing.

Is there anything I can do?

No, Mom, it's okay. Don't worry. Kate's got it.

Rick tells me his hand feels much better.

Oh, yes, it's a little cold water. It's the latest wonder drug.

Thank you for taking care of him.

Oh, all in a day's work.

I noticed.

When he was hurt, he ran to you.

Well, I guess he's just used to my taking care of dumb little things.

I thought I was the one who took care of the dumb little things.

Well, I'm the mother who drops by occasionally to take him off for a

fun and shopping.

Fries in the limo, movies, the theater.

Well, there's nothing wrong with having a little fun.

I know.

But you're the one who's raising him.

Well... And you're doing a wonderful job.

Thank you.

But all the good stuff is already there. I'm just helping it along a little.

He's becoming a fine young man.

Yeah, a lot like his father.

No comment.

I know you don't mean that.

Maybe not.

Was this dinner your idea?

No, no, Rick.

And if the lamb tastes a little burnt, pretend not to notice.

Come and get it!

Mmm, that smells good.

Lamb stew?

Yeah, well, it started out as rack of lamb, but it got a little charred.

Charred? It was cremated.

Well, uh, this is your day, so if you don't mind, I'm gonna go upstairs.

Wait.

It's as much your day as it is mine.

I wish it was today.

Do you mean that?

Well, you're catching me on Mother's Day. I'm feeling sentimental.

Kate.

Excuse me.

Do one of you mothers want to call Mr. Stratton?

Well, anybody feel like some dessert?

Oh, no, no.

Good, because I forgot to make it.

You did just fine.

Well, Mom, I had some help.

We'd be sending out for pizza if Kate hadn't rescued the wreck of lamb.

That's rack of lamb.

Dad, you didn't see it.

Well, then, thank you, Kate.

I never knew I liked stew with a charcoal flavor.

Well, I think it's time for a Mother's Day present.

Happy Mother's Day, Mom.

Thank you, Sue. All right.

Oh, a locket. Isn't it sweet?

Oh, look inside.

Oh, Richard, it's a picture of you.

I can't remember getting a nicer gift. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Well, this has been quite a day.

Well, it's not over yet.

I still have one more thing to do.

Kate.

This is for you.

For me?

Well, you know, today is a special day for mothers.

And I'm lucky enough to have two of them.

This is my favorite picture of you two.

Oh, I thought I'd lost it.

Well, it wasn't exactly lost.

You see, I stole it.

Kate, that'll look great in your office.

No, no, I want to see it right here in the house. I want to see the men in my

life right here on the piano.

I'd do the same thing.

If I could find a big enough piano.

You all through with this, too?

Yes, thank you.

Uh -oh.

What?

Something in that stew is looking at me.

What are you talking about?

Ah!

It's Mona Lisa's eye!

It's the missing piece!
