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 books together.

U .S .A.

Stratton and WYDC 98 .6 on your FM dial in the paradise we like to call Shallow

Springs.

Beautiful.

Just beautiful.

Well, you think I have a chance?

Why not? You know your music and you don't talk through your nose.

Can I ask you something? If I did get the job, when would I start?

Two weeks.

It'll take me that long to ease out my brother -in -law.

That's perfect. I'll be just coming back from a skate ship with my mom.

She's flying in all the way from England. I made all the arrangements.

That's fascinating, kid.

Well, I'll see you in two weeks, I hope.

Thanks a lot, Mr. Herscher. Phil, just call me Phil. And don't thank me yet.

Somebody better might come along.

Got everything?

Oh, I think so.

Let's see, I've got the...

The brochures, the contracts, the files.

Called a cab?

Yes, I called a cab.

You're all set.

Where's your luggage?

Oh, I knew there was something.

Hey, Dad, I think I got the job.

Wow, that's pretty good, considering you don't have any experience.

Well, Dad, it's only a local station, and the listeners are most of the kids.

Well, yeah, but nevertheless. And I told them I worked for nothing.

You did a lot of work that way.

Oh, by the way, the ski lodge called, and they have that sweet you want.

Great, that's the last thing on my list. Man, don't you love days when

everything goes right?

Well, it certainly isn't one of mine.

I'm a nervous wreck.

Oh, come on, honey. You know this deal backwards and forwards. But it's the

biggest thing I've ever done for any toys.

And the most important, too.

Dad says this can make us or break us.

Maybe you should go.

I got it.

Mom.

Hello, Richard.

Oh.

Here you go.

By the way, in this country, red means stop.

Mom, you're not supposed to be here until tomorrow.

Well, I couldn't wait to see you. I can take a cab to my hotel later.

Dad, Kate, look who's here.

Edward. Evelyn.

Katie.

That's Kate.

Well, you'll have to excuse me. I've got to get my things together.

Going somewhere?

Yes, I have to go out of town.

What a shame we won't be able to spend some time together.

Yes, I was so looking forward to it.

Mom, you almost made my surprise about coming early.

Look what I bought you.

Oh, from Bloomingdale's.

How funky.

Well, it's perfectly delightful.

Is it supposed to be baggy like this?

Or did Kate try it on first?

Oh, Evelyn, I'm sure that baggy outfit will fit you like a glove.

Is that so? Have a seat, Evelyn. You must be tired from your long trip.

As a matter of fact, I am. Maybe I should check into my hotel now.

I've got a better idea.

Since we're leaving early tomorrow morning, why don't you stay here

Rick!

You know how your mother prefers to stay at the plaza. Yeah, and we wouldn't

want her to go to the trouble of changing all her plans.

Nonsense. I'd love to stay.

Great. I'll take your bags upstairs.

Are you sure, Evelyn? You know, it's an hour to the city from here. I didn't

come to see New York. I came to spend time with my son.

Make yourself comfortable. I have to get Kate's bag.

No, you don't, honey.

What?

Well, I wouldn't think of leaving you alone with a guest.

How sweet.

The trip can wait a few days.

No, it can't wait a few days. We could lose the account.

The company won't go out of business.

Kate, could I see you in the kitchen for a moment? Of course.

Thank you again for letting me stay.

Mom, I got reservations at the Snow Locks for your favorite suite.

The one we used to go to when I was a kid.

Suite 23, overlooking that valley.

That wasn't 23, that was 32.

Are you sure?

Positive.

23 is a room in the east wing.

When the sun comes up in the morning, it floods the room with sunlight and ruins

your whole day.

Honey, I can't believe you'd call off a deal you worked on for six months

because of Evelyn. I don't want to leave you alone in the house with that

barracuda.

Barracuda? Isn't that a little strong?

I was holding back.

I'm not going to be alone in the house with her. Rick's going to be here. I

know, but... She's only staying one night.

How long do you think she needs?

You know she still has a thing for you.

Well, I don't have a thing for her.

Not even a little? You were married to her.

For seven days.

I thought you said you were a pushover for her tight clothes and that perfume

she used to wear.

Evelyn's clothes did nothing for me.

And her perfume?

That was something else.

Honey, it was a long time ago.

Well, not to her. I've seen the way she crinkles her nose when you make a joke.

And the way she looks you up and down like a slab of beef.

She does?

Honey, if you don't want to go, you don't have to go.

Really? Really.

You know how important this contract is to the company?

After working on it for the last six months, if you let this deal fall

you're going to hate yourself.

I know.

Then you know what to do.

Uh -huh.

Go upstairs and unpack.

You're being ridiculous!

Trouble in paradise?

Trouble? No.

No trouble.

You want some coffee?

I'm not...

So, how's married life?

Not too bad.

Must have been quite a thrill to make it to the second week.

Well, it's not the same as when we were married. It doesn't have the passion of

the drama.

Ours is more of a short story than a drama.

But what a week.

Yeah.

Don't tell me you're still wearing...

Wearing what?

Nothing.

Oh, sweet. You remember. No, I didn't.

Edward?

Just what?

What? What, son?

I got the suite.

Suite 32. We've got it for ten days. That's marvelous, Richard. Way to go,

Hey, am I interrupting anything here? No, no, son. No, not at all. Mom and me

just having some coffee.

I've got to get upstairs and help...

Kate. Kate.

You'll excuse me?

Sure.

We can pick up where we left off later.

What are you doing?

I'm going to Chicago.

No!

Kate, Kate.

Edward, I'm so ashamed I behaved like a schoolgirl thinking that you and Evelyn

couldn't be left alone in the same house. What schoolgirl? Come on, no wife

her right mind to leave her husband alone with that barracuda.

It's only natural to be upset.

Oh, I'm not upset anymore.

Besides, Rick will be here. Yeah, but Kate... And I spent months working on

deal. I can't just walk away from it. Why not? Come on, the company's not

to go out of business.

Oh, that's my cab.

Kate. I know the next few days won't be easy, but try to make the best of it,

all right?

Wish me luck.

Bye.

What? Part cheesy. Three of us are going to play. What do you say?

Well, you want the truth? No, get the game.

Part cheesy?

Yeah, it's a great game. You'll love it.

You know what I want to do?

Forget it.

I mean, Rick wants to play part cheesy. You know how he is. He gets his heart

set on such. I was only going to suggest we build a fire in the fireplace.

Why?

I think fireplaces are so romantic.

And it is a bit chilly in here.

I hadn't noticed.

Yeah, that was the station manager. He wants me to do a test run on the air.

Tonight? Yeah, at six o 'clock. Isn't that great?

No, son, you can't.

Dad, what's the big deal? I'll be back in a few hours.

Yeah, but your mom just got here. Come on. She came all the way from England to

see you.

Nonsense. You go right ahead.

But you haven't seen him in months.

Richard and I will have ten days together in Vermont.

And you and I haven't had any time to visit.

Go ahead, dear. Thanks. You guys have a nice time now.

We're not starting a fire.

Anywhere.

Edward, what are you doing in the bathroom? You've been in there for 40

Who times these things?

How nice to hear your voice.

You sound in good spirits.

Oh, I am. I feel right at home.

Could I speak to Edward, please?

I'm afraid he's not decent right now.

Oh? Why don't you try and get him to the phone, please? My plane leaves in a few

minutes. I'll do my best.

Edward, you have a phone call.

I'll have to call back.

I'm sorry, Kate. He doesn't want to talk.

Are you sure?

Edward, are you sure?

I told you I didn't want to talk now.

Could I speak to Rick, please?

Oh, Rick isn't here.

What do you mean he's not there?

Well, you know, kids, they don't like to hang around the house with adults.

Any message?

No. Never mind.

Edward, it's almost six o 'clock. Rick's going to be on soon.

Just in time.

I hope I can find this station.

Well, that sounds like it.

Believe it, Rick. A disc jockey?

I can still remember when he was a little boy coming home from military

Me too.

When I first saw him, I didn't know whether to hug him or salute him.

And that was my personal favorite before New Wave became Old Wave.

He sounds great.

The request lines are open. Hello, you're on.

Hey, Ricker, do you know Yummy, Yummy, Yummy, I've Got Love in My Tummy?

Sure, I'm no dummy.

Listen to him.

You remember this?

Of course, it's a big hit.

It's more than that.

You made them play it over and over at our wedding.

I did?

We had such a good time.

We did?

I'm being serious.

I guess we did have a few outstanding moments.

That's the way I remember you.

Yeah.

Well... Edward, would you mind if I share something very personal with you?

You know me, I'm always ready to talk.

Well, I hope it will be more than just talk.

Are you thirsty? My mouth is very dry.

I'm fine.

Oh, well, I think I'll... I'll be right back.

May I speak to Rick Stratton, please?

No. I can't hold on. This is an emergency.

Doing a great job, kid.

The next caller sounds pretty desperate.

I'll see what I can do.

Once again, we're back with the Ricker.

Let's go to the WYDT request line, folks. I'm told the next caller's got it

Real bad.

This is Rick.

What's your pick?

Hello, Rick.

I'm sorry, sir. You're going to have to speak up here.

I can't speak up, Rick. It's me.

You have to come home right away.

I'll come home right away, sir. I don't believe I know who recorded that. I'm

sorry to bother you at this station, but this is really important. I need you at

home. I need you at home. Great tune.

Great tune.

Is that your request, sir?

This is not a request. This is an order, a parental order.

Oh, Dad, it's only you.

It's my dad, ladies and gentlemen, a real music lover.

Well, what do you want to hear today, Dad?

Am I on the air?

Yeah, you got it.

Listen, it's not important.

I'll talk to you later.

No problem, Dad, no problem.

That was cute.

You heard me?

All of Long Island heard you.

I don't understand why you're so nervous. First you run away, and then

Where are you going now?

I don't know.

Where are you going?

Home. You're firing me, right?

Don't be crazy. That was very offbeat.

My father calling me on the air, telling me to come home was offbeat? It's a

whole new image for the station.

A DJ who skis with his mother, whose father calls him on the radio. It's

healthy. It's wholesome. It's just crazy enough to work.

You mean... Right. You got the job.

All right!

You've been gone for an hour.

Has it been that long?

Yes. And we still have some unfinished business.

We do?

Yes, we do.

You see, Edward, right now my life is so incomplete.

I'm sorry to hear that, Evelyn.

Don't be, because you have it in your power to change it. You're the only one

who can.

Evelyn, this is crazy.

No, I've thought long and hard about this. I have never wanted anything this

much in my life.

Edward, I want Rick to spend some time in England this summer.

What? I know we've probably made plans and it's not much notice.

That's all you want, is for Rick to spend some time with you?

It would mean so much to me.

That's all you want?

say so.

It'd be all right if he spent a couple of weeks. A couple of weeks? I was

the whole summer.

The whole summer?

Well, you have him all the rest of the year, please.

Well, okay, I guess it'd be all right. It's really up to him.

Oh, Edward, thank you.

Oh, we're going to have such a good time. We'll go to plays, we'll visit the

continent, we'll tour the museums.

Oh, he's going to love it, don't you think?

Yeah, well, I suppose.

Oh, England has so much to offer.

After finishing prep school there, he'll be able to get into any college he

wants.

What did you say?

That... that England has so much to offer.

No, no, no, no. The other part about the prep school.

Well, that's not certain. I mean, just in case he falls in love with the place.

You want Rick to live in England.

Are you thirsty? My mouth is a little dry.

I don't believe it. You come into my house, crinkling your nose, soften me up

with your cooing just so you can take my son away.

Oh, for heaven's sake, he's coming over for a little vacation. Oh, we'll see

about that. I don't think there's going to be any vacation.

You wouldn't do that. Oh, wouldn't I?

You're not being fair to Rick. Oh, who's being fair to him, tricking him into

living over there?

I'm not tricking him into anything. I told you, I will gladly leave it up to

him. Oh, great. That's fantastic.

Force the kid to choose between his mother and his father.

Mom, Dad, I'm home.

Hey, I got the job.

Hey, that's great, son.

That's wonderful, Richard.

Boy, I am a lucky guy.

Lucky? Yeah, sure.

I live in a great house with my dad, have lots of friends nearby.

Well, then I get to go skiing with Mom on vacations.

And now I'm a disc jockey, playing my own music. Who could be luckier?

You're a lucky guy.

Your mom just invited you to England for this summer.

Well, that's great.

Just for a few weeks. I know you want to spend most of your time back here with

your friends.

Like I said, I'm one lucky guy.

And we're two lucky parents.

Well, I'm going to go upstairs and get ready for tomorrow.

Okay, that's it.

Kate, what are you doing here? If you think that I'm going to go to Chicago

leave you alone... Kate, what are you doing here?

Like I was saying, if you think that I'm going to go to Chicago and leave Evelyn

my favorite girl...
