"...and in the night,
he searches,

"and in the day,
he searches,

"and on the morrow,
he will search,

"close, reaching,
yet it will not be found,

"and he knows that."

Nice passion, Matthews.
Very nice.

Hey, Hunter.

Hey, how were
you affected by
that reading?

I don't wanna go
to school, Daddy.

Cory's reading poetry.

You get your butt
out of that bed
and get to class!

Okay. Okay.

Gee, I wonder
what's gonna happen.

Frankie, do it, buddy.

What the poet is saying
in this beautiful piece,

which was very
movingly read,
I might add...

Hey.

...is that sometimes
we love,

and though it seems
the object of our love
is within reach,

it does not reciprocate,
and so we must keep reaching.

It's not about a doggy?

Shh, honey,
don't speak.

Outstanding, Stecchino,
outstanding.

Anything else?

Yes. Thank you.

(BELL RINGS)

Uh, Frankie,

why the sad puss,
o King of Poetry?

I'm afraid that the poem
you so eloquently read...

Hey.

...about someone
who reaches out for
an unattainable love

hits a little
too closely to home.

Why, Francis
Albert Stecchino,

have you been struck
by Cupid's arrow?

Alas, there are deep
and turbulent waters
within my soul.

I don't know
where I am.

Sit, darling.
Have a nap.

Hey, Stecchino,
you're doing a heck
of a job in class, buddy.

Can you save
these two guys?

Uh, Frankie, Frankie,

you know, it sounds
like we have the basis

for a little
negotiation here.

I'm listening.

You help us
with poetry,

and we will help you
with your love situation.

Let me consider. Okay.

The conditions for your
deal have been accepted.

Good. So, Frankie,

who's the girl
that's doing
the damage?

I will tell you,

but not here,

and not now.

Now, Frankie,
how can we help you

if you won't
tell us who it is?

Frankie, I'm home.

Father, it is
good to see you.

May I show you
my most recent addition

to the Norton
Anthology Collection
of Modern Poetry?

You and that poetry.
You could've been somebody.

You could've
been a sumo.

I'm sorry I'm such
a disappointment to you.

Me and your
brother Herman
were at the gym.

He's gonna be a wrestler
like his father. Woof!

Yes. I will carry on
the Stecchino
wrestling tradition,

although my barking
must improve.

Woof, woof.

He said "woof."
Isn't that cute?

I remember you,
little man.

You're in my son's
poetry class.

You're a bad influence.

I should crush you
like garlic

and put you
in my spaghetti.

That's what you said
to Psycho Sid
at The Spectrum

the night you
power-bombed him
through the mat.

You were there?

I never miss a match.

You see, Frankie?
This boy's a fan.

I like this boy!
Why can't you be
this boy?

Woof! Woof! Woof!

Woof! Woof!

And yet,
I love you, Father.

Oh, my gosh, Cory!

I just realized who
it is that Frankie loves

and who doesn't
love him back.

Yeah, me, too.

Amy Lee Reynolds.

Yeah.

Amy Lee Reynolds.
Come here.

It's his father.

"Someone is turning
sweet 16,

"and if you could be there,
it would be keen."

My mom wrote that.
It's silly. It's dumb.

I can't believe it.
A sweet 16 party.
It's embarrassing.

I'm sorry you even
have to read this.

Topanga.
Yes, Cory?

Slow down, honey.
Separate your words.

Okay, I'll try.

Please come
to my sweet 16.

It doesn't mean
a lot to me,

but it means a lot
to my mom.

So what do I tell
my mother?

Am I your boyfriend?
Yes, you are.

Then I'll be there.
You're the best.

(INHALES)

Yeah, when I'm on my game,
no one can touch me.

Gentlemen,
the key to any poem

is to put yourself
in the mind of the poet,

a quiet place.
A reflective place.

It's time! It's time!
It's Vader time!

I got it!
I got my rematch
with Jake the Snake,

and the chump's
goin' down!

Woof!

A place where you can see
what the poet sees,

where you can feel
what the poet feels.

Wait a minute, Frankie.
Why don't you do that
with your father?

You know,
see what he sees.
Feel what he feels.

My father is not a poet.

He is a professional wrestler,
villain category,

with the World
Wrestling Federation.

No, Frankie.
Talk to him about
what he loves.

You mean
my brother Herman?

No, I was talking
about wrestling.

Yeah, we'll even
help you, okay?

Your gesture
of friendship
is very moving.

Okay. Okay,
here he comes.

His famous move is
called the Vader Bomb.

Tell him he's setting
it up too slowly.

Dad, I have
a wrestling notion.

You have
a wrestling tip for me?

Bring it on!
Bring it on!

I think the Vader Bomb
would be best achieved
if it were set up...

What, slower,
quicker, what?

Quicker.
Quicker.

I knew something was
wrong with the bomb.

You keep
those tips coming.

I want you ringside
at the fight.

Good boy, Frankie.
Good boy!

Can I hug you guys now?

Sure.
Sure.

Hey.

If it looks like I got
a spring in my step,

it's because I do,
and I have you
to thank for it.

I'm starting to win
the love of my father.

We talk about wrestling,
sure, but at least we talk.

No charge, Frankie.

So, I'll see you
tomorrow night?

Tomorrow night it is.

Cory, you don't got
tomorrow night.

Uh, Frankie, wait, wait.

What exactly
is tomorrow night?

The most important
night of my life.
See you then.

What specifically, Frankie?

It is when my father fights
Jake "The Snake" Roberts.

The winner is in line
for a shot at the belt

against Shawn Michaels
at Madison Square Garden.

He wants me at ringside
to give him tips.

That means I need
someone like you at
my side to give me tips.

Someone like me,
but not me,

since I have Topanga's
16th birthday party
to go to,

which means nothing
at all to her,

except everything
in the world if you
listen closely,

but I can't make it.
Sorry, bud.

Hey, I know very little
about wrestling,

except when I'm
playing Twister with
the McClusky triplets.

I walk alone.

Alone I walk.

No father among me.

Without a father, I am.

I'll be there.

I know. You wanna
know why I know?

Because I want
everybody to love me?

I've noticed that,

but I was gonna say
it's because you
have a good heart.

Topanga is gonna kill you.

Shawn, you
underestimate her.

She's gonna want you
at that party, man.

Women aren't forgiving
about that kind of thing.

Okay, Topanga will forgive.
I mean, Topanga's not just
any woman here.

I bet you a buck
she flips out.

It's your money, Leroy.

Uh, Topanga,
sweetheart, listen.

There might be
a slight chance I won't
be able to come...

I'll just die!

I'll just die!
Cory, I know I said
it's not important,

but it means
everything.

I only turn 16 once.
Cory, you have
to be there.

We have to dance
at the party together.

My parents danced together
at my mom's sweet 16,

so we have to, too.

Topanga, am I
your boyfriend?

Yes, you are.
Then I'll be there.

I know you will,
and you wanna know
why I know?

Because I've got
a good heart?

I was going to say
because you wanted
everyone to love you,

but, yeah, because
you have a good heart.

Why do these kinds of things
always happen to me?

'Cause you're
a good guy, Cory.

These things happen
to good guys.

That's very nice
of you to say, Shawn,

but I'd better be
real good to be
two places at once.

It must
and will be done.

Oh, you have
the technology?

Right here, right now.

Cory, the need to be
in two places at once

is a dilemma
that dates back
thousands of years.

Lucky for you,
I am a student
in such matters.

So what's this,
an instructional
Deepak Chopra,

Venus and Mars,
buy real estate
no money down,

Ab Reducer,
Juice Tiger
kind of thing?

It's The Flintstones.

I was gonna say that.

This is a classic episode
where Fred has to be
at Pebbles' birthday party

and the big bash at
the Water Buffalo Lodge
on the same night.

Oh. I remember
being very nervous
during this one.

Yes, quite a dilemma
for our prehistoric friend.

Let's watch.

All right.
Fred Flintstone.

Nice guy, big feet,
just like you.

And he's got
a good best friend.

That's right, Barney.
That's me.

Watch Fred's technique.
Let's go frame by frame.

Here he is, backing out
of the Water Buffalo Lodge.

Now, he's taking off
his Water Buffalo helmet.

That's key.

Huh. A simple
costume change,

and he fools everybody.

Now here, he arrives
at Pebbles' birthday party
correctly attired,

and no one's the wiser.

I've calculated
your distances.

The Flintstone scenario
is doable in your case.

I assume you had
a fallback plan.

Jonny Quest,
but then you would need
Hadji and a hovercraft.

Okay, Topanga's sweet 16
is a mere three-tenths

of a mile away from
Vader's wrestling match.

All right. What's
our time constraints?

I'm on that, too.

Fred never spent
more than 75 seconds
at either location.

Yeah, but you see, Shawn,
that was a cartoon.
Time was compressed.

We're real.
We're in real time.

Trust me,
it's the same thing.

No, it's not. You see,

a television show can cover
many days in only one
half-an-hour program.

Trust me,
it's the same thing.

Okay.

Now, here comes tragedy.

Fred arrives
at Pebbles' party,

and he's wearing
his Buffalo helmet.

Wilma gets
what's going on.

Here she comes around
with a frying pan, and...

(CLANGING)

Well, we can't let
that happen, Barney.

I'm here for you, Fred.

(INDISTINCT)

He is the best!

He is Vader!

There he is.
There is the man,
the one and only Vader!

There he is,
his son right there,

Frankie, along
with Cory and Shawn.

They are his
special advisers
for this match-up

because if Vader
is victorious,

it puts him in line
for a title shot at
Madison Square Garden.

(CROWD CHEERING LOUDLY)

Oh, yes!
Vader looks to be
in tremendous form!

He is here to impress
his son Frankie.

He has something to prove,

and he plans on
proving it tonight!

Oh, yes!

There they are
in the ring.

There's Vader's son
in the ring,

Cory and Shawn,
they are taunting
Jake "The Snake" Roberts.

On the other side
of the ring,
Jake the Snake!

He's got the snake!

He's got the snake!
They better watch out!

Frankie, Cory, and Shawn,
they don't know where to go!

Get the snake
out of the ring.

The snake does not belong
in the wrestling ring!

Vader wants to know
who the man is.

I know who the man is.
The man is Vader!

The fans here would like
to see Jake the Snake
DDT Vader.

Hey, where
are you going?

Uh, we forgot
to buy programs.

Yeah, you can't tell
the players apart
without a program.

My father.
Not my father.

How hard could this be?

(POP MUSIC PLAYING)
(INAUDIBLE)

Topanga,
there you are.

I have been looking
all over for you.

I mean, I've been here
for 20 minutes,

and I couldn't find you
because of the size of
this turnout.

I mean,
a person could
get lost in here.

But there I go,
running off
at the mouth,

keeping you from
mingling with your
interesting guests.

Well, off you go.
Mingle. Mingle, mingle.

(WHISPERS)
Seventy-five.

TOPANGA: You know, Cory,
I know I said a lot about
this not meaning anything,

but the truth is
now that the time's here

and we're about to share
that special dance,

I realize how important
a moment like this is
in our lives.

I realize that, too.
In fact...

Wrap it up!

The end.
Where are you going?

Uh, Topanga,
your Aunt Ruthie,

she's over there,
and for how long
no one knows.

In fact, no one knows
how long any of us
are gonna be here.

That was crazy.

I don't even know
what I said. Shirts?

Check.
Masks?

Check.
All right. Let's go!

Where have you been?

Your Aunt Ruthie,
she's over there.

Other place.

Uh, we had to buy
Vader masks,

and the people
and the line...

What?
Give me something!

BROTHER LOVE:
Frankie looking on.
He has to be worried.

His father's
not looking too good
in the ring right now

against Jake the Snake.

Frankie has got
to be concerned.

Their advice has
not been paying off.

Jake's moving in
for the DDT.

Tell your dad
to counter,
or he's a goner.

Watch out for
the DDT, Dad!

BROTHER LOVE:
The crowd chanting
for the DDT!

They want the DDT!

Oh, but Vader counters!

It must've been
the advice from Frankie!

Seventy-five!

Hey, where
are you going?

(STAMMERS)
Frankie, I...

Wrap it up!
The end.

You know,
this is almost
too easy, Barney.

Don't get cocky.
That's where mistakes
happen, my friend.

Okay, I'm off to mix.

Cor, wait, wait, wait!
What?

Have a good time, man.
Thanks.

And take off the mask.

You're supposed
to catch this stuff.

Hey, anybody
could've missed that.

(CLEARS THROAT)
Where have you been?

Me?
Yes, you.

I have been
back and forth
across this room,

must've been
20 times,
looking for you.

A guy gets worried
is what happens.

Cory, you're out of breath.

Looking for you,
but I found you,

and you're here,
and now I can
breathe easy.

I'm sorry.
Accepted.

See you later.
What? Where are you going?

Uh, nowhere,

because there's
still the matter of
that special dance

that's so important
to you... Me... Us.

I'm glad it means
something to you,
too, Cory.

I'll go ask
the deejay.

Cory! Cory!

I've been watching
the match on that TV
over there.

Jake's taken the snake
out of the bag.

That means
Vader's history.

Without our help, he is.

Okay, there and back,

but if we don't
get back before
this song starts,

I'm history.

(SLOW MUSIC PLAYING)

♪ Happy birthday

♪ Now you're sweet 16

♪ You are my angel ♪

BROTHER LOVE: Oh, no!

Vader hasn't got...

Your tips
are not working.

My father will surely
lose the match,

and I will lose
his love forever.

No, no. My tips
are gold, okay?

Your dad's gonna
turn this match around
any second.

(CROWD CHEERING)

Father! Father,
are you all right?

Give me a woof!

I've got nothing, boy.

I'm losing my shot
at the belt!

This is where
the beaten-up fighter

looks in the crowd
at the one person

that can give him
the inspiration to go on.

Now what do you got
for me, boy?

(PANTING)

What do you
got for me, boy?

Sorry, Frankie.
I'm all out of ideas.

Father, I have no tips
about pile drivers
or scoop slams.

All I have is
the love of a son
for his father,

for no matter
the outcome
of this match,

you will always be
champion of the world
in my heart.

Would it be okay
if I won?

Well, my friends
did come all this way.

Jake! This one's
for my son!

BROTHER LOVE: It is
only a matter of time.

Vader getting back in now
with a vengeance. Oh!

Yeah!
Yeah!

Vader!

BROTHER LOVE: Oh!
Vader, now pounding Jake
the Snake in the corner.

Rights and lefts.
Punches to the head.

Punches to the midsection.

Jake the Snake goes down.

Vader has got the Snake
in position.

He's signaling
for the Vader Bomb!

Vader is signaling
for the Vader Bomb!

If he hits...

He hits the Vader Bomb!

Three!

Here is your winner!

Here is your winner!

Vader!

(ALL CHEERING)

Wow, this is, like,
the greatest moment
of my life.

No, it's not.

How's the fight going?

How'd you know?

What, you
believe that?

Hi, Shawn.

SHAWN: I had
a very nice time.

Thank you
for inviting me.

How could you do
this to me, Cory?

You knew how
important this was.

Look, Topanga,
if it helps, I'm sorry.

I mean,
I ruined your party,

and I know you'll
never forgive me.

I guess this is where
I get hit on the head
with a frying pan.

Okay, what's he
talking about?

Flintstones.
He had to be at
two places at once.

Oh, the Water Buffalo,
Pebbles episode.

And you wonder why
I love this girl.

Cory, I've been
sitting here since
everybody left,

and I've been
wrestling, too.

I've been wrestling with
how you could've possibly
left me here alone.

And I know you,
and I know you have
a good reason.

Tell me your
good reason, Cory.

I was helping Frankie
get closer with his dad.

Looks like you did.

Look, I want you
to know, I would
never hurt you.

And I'm sorry
we couldn't dance together
in front of everyone.

In front of everyone
doesn't matter.

It was just
a special dance,

and I wanted it
to be with you.

Hey, Fred.

Yeah, Barn?

You know, if it's
a special dance you want,

Frankie does
owe you a favor.

(SLOW MUSIC PLAYING)

May I have this dance?

I thought
you'd never ask.

♪ Now you're sweet 16

♪ You are my angel

♪ You're my teenage queen ♪

Poetry in motion,
huh, Frankie?

Well, I see you have
an appreciation
after all.

So, the two in the ring,

how many rounds
you think they'll go?

Those two?

Oh, they're gonna
go the distance.

Now, Frankie,
I accept the fact

that you don't want
to be a wrestler
like your pappy.

I'm just happy
to come down here
to watch you work out.

Hey, I got a shot
at the belt,

and I been working
on this new move.

It's called
the Vader-Sault.

Could I see it?

(LAUGHING)

Of course you can. Yeah!

You know, Cory,
when we dance
close like this

and you're holding me,

I feel safe,
like nothing could
ever happen to me.

Topanga, I would
never let anything
happen to you.

Uh, move one step
to your left.

(YELLING)

All right, Dad!

Yeah, Son!
