All language subtitles for Silver Spoons s05e18 Fallen Idol

We're going to find our way.

Together, taking the time each day.

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

Two silver spoons together.

You and together.

More coffee, Dexter. Oh, no, thank you,
Kate. I'm shaky enough.

What's wrong?

Oh, Kate, I'm a wreck.

I can't sleep. I can't eat.

I can't even tabulate.

Don't tell me you're in love.

Worse.

I'm going to be interviewed for the Long
Island Business World.

Well, that's a very important magazine.
I know. They're going to put me in the

cover. And that bothers you? Of course.
They're going to follow me around, want

to quote me, interview people who know
me.

Like whom?

Like you.

Well, you don't have to worry. I'll say
lots of wonderful things about you.

Really? Well, if you can't lie for a
friend.

Just kidding.

Well, just in case you run short of
things to say, here's my bio with a few

choice phrases you may want to use.

Off the cuff, of course.

Of course.

Where's Edward?

They may want to talk to him, too.

He's out back showing Rick some
basketball moves. Oh, great.

Just when I need to talk to him.

Well, why don't you go out and join
them?

Well, it might relax you. Oh, no, I
don't play basketball.

You don't play basketball?

No, and I don't tap dance, neither.

Yeah!

Well... What?

Come on, you got me on the arm.

All right, come on.

Let me give you a tip.

What? Never argue with your dad.

Come on. If you want to make a team,
we've got to do the inside shot.

Let's go. Come on. Come on. Come on.
Come on.

Yes!

Well, Rick, you made it, but come on
now. That's no way to shoot a hook shot.

You didn't extend your arm, you know,
and you've got to let it roll off your

fingertips. Kind of like that.

With a nice backspin to it. Here, let me
show you what I'm talking about.

Nice shot, coach.

Yeah, did you see that backspin?

That's what I was trying to show you.

Now go get the ball.

Did I get it in?

Yeah. Right.

Hey, you're that new guy just signed
with New York.

You're Gary Thafford. Gary Thafford.
Yeah, that's right.

I'm your new neighbor.

Wow.

I heard somebody leased the Carlisle
place, but I expected somebody older.

And shorter.

Well, this is a real pleasure. My name
is Edward Stratton. This is my son,

And you already know my name.

This is outrageous.

See, Gary Stafford, the hottest rookie
in pro basketball, is my neighbor.

Our neighbor.

Dad, in college, Gary scored the winning
basket against Louisville, as the

buzzer sounded, from 60 feet out.

Uh, 65.

Wow!

While he was double -teamed.

Double wow!

And in his junior year, he broke all
conference scoring records.

I think I found a fan.

Yeah. Well, welcome to the neighborhood.

Gosh, if you ever need anything, a cup
of sugar, my car, my wallet.

Well, thanks very much. And if you ever
need anything, just... As a matter of

fact, you know, I've been having some
problems with my hook shot.

Well, it's not exactly a problem. I just
can't do it. That's all.

Well, uh... Rick.

Dad. Will, have you got some time right
now?

You are going to coach me?

Oh, wait till I tell the guys at school.

What do I tell the guys at the office?

All right, hook shot. The thing you got
to remember here, Rick, is to extend

your arm. Uh -huh. And when you shoot
the ball, let it roll real gently off

hand so that you put back spin on it.

Of course.

I didn't say that. You know, I told you
the same thing.

Yeah, but Dad, he knows what he's
talking about.

No,

no, no, Pete, nothing for me, thanks.
Oh, all right.

Well, I'll take some.

What do you want, a special diet or
something?

No. You see, Dad, Gary says milk doesn't
carry the crucial amount of

electrolytes that an athlete needs.

So I'm starting my morning with
Gatorade.

Just like Gary, huh? You bet, just like
good old Gary.

I'll get it.

Maybe I'll start my morning with
Gatorade.

You know, all I hear out of Rick's mouth
lately is Gary, Gary, Gary. Oh, honey,

I think it's healthy for Rick to have a
hero. I remember I loved my hero so much

it wasn't a night I'd go to sleep
without my Mickey Mantle glove.

So that's what that was.

When I met you, I outgrew it.

But you know something?

I remember feeling that when Mickey was
really doing great, I was doing great.

And when he wasn't doing great?

Kate, you're talking about Mickey
Mantle.

There was never a time he wasn't doing
great.

Never.

Ever.

Ever.

I'm so glad you outgrew it.

Yeah, sure, Rick.

Gary Stafford lives next door.

Look, if you don't believe me, just hang
around. He's coming over.

Right, and I'm Dr.

James.

Yeah, and I'm Dr.

Ruth.

You guys think I'm making this up?

No, we think you're lying.

Besides, what would a basketball star be
doing out here?

A guy with that money would have a swank
pad in the city where he could go

hunting for babes.

Huh. Hi, Rick. Hey.

How you doing, Gare?

Fine, fine.

Who are your friends?

Oh, let me introduce you.

Would you boys like that?

Thought you would.

This is Alfonso, Jeff, and Eric. This is
my friend, Gary Stafford.

Do they talk?

Listen, Rick, I just happen to have a
couple tickets for tonight's game

the Lakers. You want them?

Are you serious?

Yeah. Now, listen, if you need a ride,
be over at my place at 4 o 'clock, okay?

See you later, guys.

We should talk like this more often.

Thanks, Gary. Bye.

Guys, there's no fair way I can decide
who goes.

Well, I thought you might want to ride
in my Mercedes.

That way you wouldn't have to have Gary
pick you up early and hang around

talking to all the basketball players
before the game.

Well, on second thought, maybe you
should take one of your friends.

After all, I got to get the fishing gear
ready for our big fishing trip

tomorrow, huh? Okay. Okay.

See you guys.

Okay, I've got the solution.

We'll go out to the hoot and play some
ball. The one with the most baskets in a

half an hour gets the second ticket.

All right, let's go.

Okay, but just remember who got you
through algebra.

Alfonso, I got you through algebra.

Let's not get technical.

Boy, Dad, did you miss a great game.

Dad, Gary scored 30 points. I know, I
was listening.

Of course, it wasn't the same as being
there.

Yeah, well, anyway, Dad, after the game,
Gary introduced us to the team. And he

even got a couple of towels for Alfonso
and me. Look, this is the very towel

they use to wipe the sweat off the
floor.

Wow, did you give me one?

No, but I'll talk to Gary for you.

You know, Dad, he is one terrific guy.

And he acts like an ordinary human
being.

Amazing.

Well, son, I'm glad you had a good time,
but you better hit the old sack. We're

going to get up at the crack of dawn and
catch the big ones.

Oh, no.

What oh, no?

Dad, I can't go.

What do you mean you can't go? Rick,
we've been planning this trip for weeks.

Yeah, but Dad, Gary said he would coach
me on some moves tomorrow.

He does that every day.

Not at Madison Square Garden.

You're going to practice at Madison
Square Garden?

Yep, and that's because the schedule's
so tight. Dad, I'm lucky to get any time

at all. I mean, with his help, I'm a
shoo -in for first string.

Oh, you understand, right?

Madison Square Garden?

Well, look, Dad, maybe we can go fishing
next week.

Well, yeah, I guess so.

If the lake isn't frozen over.

Well, great. We'll spend the whole week
together next week.

Yeah? Yeah.

See, that's when Gary goes on the road.

Right.

Ah! Ah!

Ah! Oh, oh, oh.

Ah.

Hi.

Oh, hi, Dexter. Come on in. Oh, thank
you. Kate, this is Arlene Milton, the

editor of the Long Island Business
World. I don't know if I mentioned it to

or not, but Arlene's doing an article on
me.

Very nice to meet you, Arlene. Well,
it's nice meeting you, too.

Dexter speaks very highly of you. Oh,
well, Dexter's always giving praise to

everyone but himself.

Now, now, Kate, you are the driving
force behind Eddie Toys.

See what I mean?

If the truth be known, whatever success
we've had at Eddie Toys, we owe in large

part to Dexter. Isn't she wonderful?

I'll say it's not often the president of
a company would be so generous in

giving credit to an employee.

Oh, well, Dexter is hardly an employee.

Dexter's the nuts and bolts that holds
our company together.

Well, if you ladies will excuse me, this
nuts has got to go to work.

Besides, I'd only get embarrassed
hearing all these compliments, even if

are true.

See? All that talent and a sense of
humor.

Please, come on in.

Oh, would you like some tea?

Yes, thank you.

So how long have you been Dexter's boss?

Oh, two years. Ever since I became
president of Eddie Toys.

Wasn't it in the past two years that
Eddie Toys became one of the fastest

growing companies in the industry?

Well, yes, I guess you could say that.

I just told her how terrific Dexter is
and how much we rely on him. So you

huh?

Edward, what are you doing? I'm making
my tuna casserole for dinner tonight.

I know.

Hey, Dad. Hey, boy. What are you so
excited about?

Guess what blonde relative of yours made
first cut on the basketball team?

Um, Aunt Harriet?

Very funny, Dad. I'm talking about yours
truly.

Ah, ha, ha.

Congrats.

Thanks. Well, not so fast. You know,
I've still got to make final cut, guys.

Oh, well, tell us all about it.

Yeah, come on. Sit down here. Let me
know all the details.

Yeah, but just give me a little time,
okay? I've got to go tell Gary.

Well, at least he told you first.

Yeah, that's because he bumped into me
on the way to see Gary.

Edward, you said it was healthy for him
to have a bureau.

When the hero was me.

It's a terrible thing to grow up, isn't
it?

Yeah.

Kind of hoping I wouldn't have to.

Try the coffee.

I got a new blend.

I knew you wouldn't like it.

No, Kate, it's not the coffee.

Listen to this. Gary Stafford, star
basketball player, was stopped for

driving on the Long Island Expressway.

Oh, that's terrible.

Oh, it gets worse. A search of his car
revealed a small amount of narcotics.

Oh, no.

A spokesman for the team announced that
Stafford has been suspended pending a

review.

Good morning, Guppies.

Hi, Rick. Hi, Bud. Hey, Dad, let me have
the sports section. I want to see what

Gary did last night.

Well, in that case, you want to see the
front page.

Front page? What did he do?

Score 100 points?

What are we playing here, bud? One on
none?

Huh? Come on, you never make the team
like that. Let's try your jump shot.

on, let's go.

I got you, I got you, I got you. Come
on, boy, come on.

Rick, you know, a Smurf could have
blocked that shot.

Want to try with a little lift?

Yeah, Dad, I don't feel like lifting
today, okay?

Rick, if you keep playing like this,
they're not going to let you on a team.

Not going to even let you in the gym.

You know, Dad, it's not the end of the
world if I don't make the basketball

team. What?

You know, in fact, I've been thinking
I'm not going to even bother showing up

for the final cuts.

I thought your dream was to be a
basketball player.

Well, I changed my mind.

Now I want to be a cowboy.

So it's Gary, huh?

Gary who?

Your friend.

Who happened to screw up?

Oh, him.

You know, just because he let you down
doesn't mean you have to let yourself

down. Dad, I am not letting myself down.

I'm just not interested in playing some
dumb sport with a basketball.

Come on, Rick, that's no attitude.

You're able to roll with the punches.

I'm going to get myself a glass of milk.

Well, since you're not drinking it
anymore, get me some Gatorade.

Yeah, come on in.

Hey, Rick, how you doing?

Oh, not so bad.

What's up with you guys?

Oh, nothing.

We just heard your friend, Gare, was
going about 90 miles an hour. Without a

car.

Very funny, guys.

Well, you did say he was going to break
all kinds of records.

Yeah. We didn't know you meant on the
Long Island Expressway.

Well, they're still ticked because they
didn't get a towel.

Hey, Alfonso, would you please show
these guys out?

Sure. How about your upstairs window?

Hey, I bet if Gary jumped out a window,
he'd go straight up.

Hi.

Hi.

Thought you were Rick.

Just met them.

Guess you've heard the news, huh?

Kind of hard to miss.

I was hoping I could talk to Rick.

I've tried to call a couple of times.

I know.

I wanted to tell him I'm going into a
rehab program.

I won't be around for a while.

Well, that's good to hear.

I mean about the rehab program.

Thanks.

Anyway, I just wanted to let Rick know.

I must have let him down.

I think you did.

Hey, Dad, I got you a soda, because...
because I forgot I threw out the

Gatorade.

Rick, I think Gary went to talk to you.
Dad, I've got a lot of homework to catch

up on. Just take a second, Rick.

Rick?

Gary, I'll see you around.

Good luck.

Thanks.

So, Rick, I'm not going to be around for
a while.

Yeah, I read about the rehab program.

I'm sorry I let you down, Rick.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, I...

Just wanted to let you know.

See ya.

Gary, why did you do it?

Why did you ruin everything?

I don't know.

It was a dumb thing to do.

Stupid.

Idiotic.

And basilic.

Feel free to stop me whenever you want.

I know this sounds crazy, Rick, but
actually I consider myself a very lucky

Lucky? Yeah.

I got caught right away.

All right.

Almost right away.

But I guarantee you something. I'm never
going to let anything that stupid

happen to me again.

Yeah?

I mean it.

Honest.

Friend?

Friends.

All right.

So, uh, make the final cut yet?

No, the final cut's happening this
Friday.

You, uh, still want some pointers?

Well, hey, if I want to make the team.

All right.

Here we go.

All right.

Pointer number one. All right.

When you're guarding someone, It's
bigger than you. Yeah? Oh, hey.

Don't ever let your guard down.

All right.

Here it is.

Now, I don't want you catching cold.

Honey, I'm a fisherman. I never catch
cold.

Or fish, either.

You know,

Dexter isn't exactly the fishing type.

How did you convince him?

I promised I'd put his worm on the hook
for him.

You gonna wear that in a rowboat?

I'm too upset to go fishing.

Oh, what's wrong?

The Long Island Business World magazine
came out today.

Oh, that's right. Well, how was the
article? I've never read such a glowing

report in all my life.

Must have been all those nice things
that I said.

Yes, I just wish you'd said them about
me.

What? What are you talking about?

This.
