Uh, my name isn't Jimmy holmes,

And--and I don't Have a son.

I don't get it.

Carl...

I'm harriette And rachel's father.

Come on. Let's go.

Carl, wait..

Look, I--I don't know Who you are,

Or what you want. But this game's over.

I'm telling you the truth. I'm their father.

News flash, buddy boy.

Their father was killed In the korean war.

That's right. I was.

Alright. You're out of here.

No. Listen.

I can prove I'm their father.

I'm waiting.

Uh, harriette's Favorite cookies

Are chocolate chip.

Whose wasn't?

Uh, rachel had a pet goldfish Named chubby.

Lucky guess.

Their mother's name Was darlene.

Harriette and rachel Were both delivered

At regis memorial Hospital

By dr. Thomas Bradshaw.

Harriette has A small scar

Above her left knee from when She fell off her...

Tricycle. Tricycle.

Uh...

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Uh...

Let's say for The sake of argument

That somehow you are harriette And rachel's father.

Why did they think That you were dead?

I was, uh...

I was only 18 When I married darlene,

And we had problems From the get-go.

She thought it might help If we had kids,

But in lots of ways, It just made things worse.

I stuck it out For five years,

But when harriette was 3 And rachel was 1, I...

I bailed out.

You abandoned them.

I sent money, And I called.

And one day darlene Told me to stop calling.

She said she had told Harriette and rachel

That their father had been Shot down over korea.

Well, why did she Do that?

She said she didn't Want her little girls

Growing up thinking That their father

Had run out on them,

And that hurt.

I mean, that...

Well, it's tough for me To sympathize with you.

No marriage is easy.

At times I've wanted To pull my hair out.

I can see that.

I'm sorry, carl.

I'm--I'm a little Nervous here, you know.

Well, the point is

I didn't run away.

And for what it's worth, I wish I hadn't either.

Well, why are you Here now?

I wanted to see My kids.

I wanted to give my grandson A piggyback ride.

I wanted--I...

Well, I'll be leaving Tomorrow,

And I won't bother you Ever again.

Wait. You're not Going to tell them

Who you are?

Carl... I can't.

I want them To remember me

As a hero

Instead Of a heel.

I see.

But you know, jimmy,

It seems to me

That you're still only Thinking about yourself.

* money, money, Money, money *

* money *

* money, money, Money, mon-- *

Aah!

Greetings, my little Gummi bear.

Got any honey, honey?

Uh, steve...

Why are you Wearing a bear rug?

Well...

Less than an hour ago,

I was riding my bike Down oak street.

And suddenly, I heard A noise behind me.

So I turned around,

And right there, next to The zuckermans' rosebush,

Was a grizzly bear.

Why are you Copying jimmy?

I couldn't help noticing that Whenever you looked at jimmy,

Your face was filled With admiration.

I want you to look at me Like that, too...

So I thought I'd show you

That I, too, can walk On the wild side.

It would Really impress me

If you'd Just walk home.

Okay.

Uh, but don't Forget this.

[imitating Horse's whinny]

Uh-oh.

What, what, What, what?

We've come to A river.

You'll have To lead me across.

Richie.

Please leave Poor mr. Holmes alone.

We're having fun, Right?

Right, partner.

But I'm afraid It's time

For silver to gallop Into the sunset.

Oh, come on.

I'll mosey back This way again.

I'm going to miss you.

I'm going To miss you, too.

Hey. Come on.

Get along, little dogie. Go on.

Taxi just pulled up.

Well, that's for me.

Harriette, rachel,

I want to thank you

For making me Feel so welcome.

Oh, jimmy, You are welcome.

Can't you stay One more night?

We'll be heartbroken If you leave.

I really wish I could.

Last chance, jimmy.

Harriette, rachel...

My name isn't jimmy holmes.

It's jimmy baines.

Baines?

I'm your father.

Harriette.

Are you okay?

Are you?

No.

He dumped us, rach.

Now he comes waltzing back Into our lives.

What does he want From us?

I think he wants us To forgive him.

Well, I can't forgive.

I feel cheated.

So many times I've watched Laura and carl,

And...I've wished With all my heart

I could have had those kind Of moments with my father.

Harriette, he shouldn't Have walked out on us,

But he's here trying to make Amends for that now,

And if we don't meet him Halfway,

Then we'll be making The same mistake he did.

I know.

But the thing That bothers me the most

Is how could the man Just leave like that

And never give us Another thought?

I thought about you.

I thought about you Every day of my life.

Harriette, I know What I did was wrong,

And I hate myself For it,

So I can understand

If you hate me, too.

What I want you to know--

No--what I need For you to know

Is that even though We weren't together,

I never stopped Loving you.

Here.

You remember this?

You gave this to me

When you were 3 years old.

"Happy valentine's day, Daddy."

D-a-d-y.

"I'll love you always."

Always.

Well, it's nice That you kept that,

But the bottom line is,

You weren't there When we needed you.

I'm here now.

And I want to be Part of your lives.

That's All I'm asking you.

Please.

Will you let me?

I don't know if I can.

We could try.

We could try.

Daddy.
