[theme music]

Some ride, huh?

Don't you love it?

It's almost like
being at Disneyland.

Yeah, except this
is Morgan land.

I mean, he owns the
elevator, the building,

probably half the world by now.

Yeah, it could be.

Your friend sure has been
successful, hasn't he?

Well, you got that right.

I read somewhere where
he's one of the 10

richest men in the country.

Which is why I can't understand
what he'd want me for.

So your sister didn't
give you any kind

of clue when she called you?

No, just said
Luke had a problem,

you know, needed my help.

You guys were best friends
when you were kids, right?

[chuckling] Blood
brothers, inseparable

all the way through school.

You know, I'm the
godfather of his son Gary?

Just can't figure out what
Luke would need with an ex cop.

It sounds to me like he
just needs an old friend.

[chuckling]

[music playing]

[buzzing]

Yeah?

MISS AMES: Mr.
Gordon is here, sir.

Send him right in, Miss Ames.

Hold any calls, please.

Mark.

Luke.

[laughter] It's so
good to see you.

Oh, man, it's been too long.

Oh, this is my partner,
Jonathan Smith.

A pleasure.

You're the one
that's kept him so busy

these last few years, huh?

Guilty as charged.

Please, guys, sit down.

You want some sort
of refreshments?

No, I'm fine.

Thank you.

Well, it's quite a
place you got here.

Oh, yeah.

Mark, it seems
forever since we got

together to sing some old
songs and tell a few lies.

As I recall, the lies were
always better than the singing.

[laughter] No argument there.

I miss those days.

We had fun, didn't we?

Yeah, sweet youth
and innocence--

how do you replace it?

No way, my old friend.

Hey, speaking of sweet
youth and innocence,

how's Gary doing?

Well, he's the reason
I contacted you, Mark.

Gary's your problem?

I don't believe it.

Well, he's not into
drugs or something

stupid like that, is he?

No, far from it.

No, he's a fanatic
about his body.

He works out and
swims every day.

He's in great shape, top
student in school, A achiever,

in the business programs,
computers, a wiz at everything.

Hm.

Sounds like a heck of a kid.

How old is he?

19, going on 30 fast.

He's in such a damn
hurry to become

a man, to do everything his
way to get into the fast lane.

I want him to slow down and
be a boy a while longer.

He'll be a man a long time.

Maybe talk to him about it?

LUKE MORGAN: That's the
heart of the problem.

We just can't communicate.

I take total blame.

I mean, hell, I was on a
flight to Hong Kong the day

he was born.

And as hard as it is to
admit, that's about as close

as we've ever been.

Really something, isn't it?

I made motivational
speeches all over the world.

And I can't even
talk to my own son.

I'm sorry.

Listen, I, uh-- I hate talking
about this here in the office.

Can you come out to the
house and we can talk better

out there and have some dinner?

Hey, that sounds good to me.

Great.

Let's go.

[music playing]

Helen, there'll be
two more for dinner.

A house, he says--

more like a House of Parliament.

[chuckling] Oh, I always
had simple tastes, Mark.

You know that.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, and that's not a bad
looking second home on wheels,

either.

Hey, you ride a bike?

Oh, a little.

Gary's a champion
dirt bike racer.

Won the junior division
the last two years.

Oh, this is some
beautiful rig.

I just bought that last week.

What it hasn't got
hasn't been invented yet.

It's ready to go.

Go where?

Oh, a trip--

camping, fishing,
just Gary and me--

a small odyssey, if you will.

Father and son trying to
get to know one another.

Hey, that sounds like fun.

What's holding it up?

Gary turned me down flat.

No way, he said-- a waste
of time, his and mine.

There's nothing I can say
that would change his mind.

So you want Mark to try to
talk him into going with you.

LUKE MORGAN: Exactly, Jonathan.

He and Gary have always
had a great rapport.

He might reconsider
if you came along.

I'd be more comfortable, too.

I know it sounds foolish.

But I'm afraid of being
alone, just the two of us.

And what do you say, pal?

All I can do is try.

Oh, it may take some time.

Uh, can you stay as my guest?

Well, that's got
to be the motel room.

[laughter]

LUKE MORGAN: Good.

Listen, it's a
little after 5:00.

And Gary will be in the gym.

Come on.

[whirring]

Gary, look who flew into town.

Mark.

How are you doing, Gary?

Great.

How are you?

Oh, man, look at you.

Hard to believe
you're that little guy

I took fishing a while back.

Well, come on, how are you?
- Great.

How about you?

Can't complain.

Oh, this is my friend
Jonathan Smith.

Mr. Smith.

Jonathan.

So where you been for so long?

What have you been up to?

I'm not sure you'd
believe me if I told you.

Why not?

I always believed
everything you ever told me,

even some really tall tales.

Well, some things
never change, Gary.

He's still pretty good at those.

[laughter]

Hey, your dad says you're
into all kinds of things now.

You're some kind of
computer wiz these days.

Yeah, it's a high
tech world, Mark.

Got to keep up.

All right, you want to
see some of my toys?

Hey, I'd love to.

OK, I'll shower up
and meet you in my room.

You got it.

OK.

Nice meeting you, Jonathan.

Same here.

Got the picture, like I'm
not here, like I'm invisible.

You got your work cut
out for you, Mark.

Hey, nothing worth
doing is easy, old buddy--

nothing.

[beeping]

And this little baby will do
everything but put you in bed

and tuck you in at night, Mark.

It's got software
you wouldn't believe.

I have never seen
so much equipment

in one room in my life.

I mean, you could start World
War III from in this place.

GARY MORGAN: Well, I need
and use every piece of it.

I got a lot of projects
going 20 hours a day.

You know what I mean?
- Why?

I mean, you're out of school
for the summer, aren't you?

Well, per se, sure.

But I got-- I'm taking
special computer classes.

And I got this marketing plan
going with some other guys.

Got a neat little item
we're going to manufacture.

After our survey results
come in, I bet you we

sell 5, 6 million of them.

Keep it on schedule, we'll have
it on shelves by late fall.

Deja vu.

Hm?

Sound like your
father did 35 years ago.

Oh, is that good or bad?

Well, all I know is
while he was chasing money,

I was chasing girls.

Could I ask you a question,
Mark, and get a serious answer?

Try me.

You ever beat him at
anything, I mean anything?

No, can't say I have.

Neither have I.

MARK GORDON: Well, he's a
competitive guy, you know.

He doesn't like losing.

Who does?

Losing is nothing.

And winning's not everything.

Hm, not if you're the winner.

Well, I guess every
boy wants to be as

good or better than his father.

Thing is, why are
you in such a hurry?

[chuckling] You sound
just like my old man.

MARK GORDON: Yeah, he said
he planned a little trip.

But you won't go along.

He told you right.

Why?

I mean, it's sounds
like a fun time.

Fun with him?

[chuckling] You
got to be kidding.

I don't think he knows
the meaning of the word.

Whoa, wait a minute.

What?

Are we talking
about the same guy?

I mean, I had a lot of
fun with your dad-- a lot

of laughs over the years.

Yeah, maybe that's
because you him.

I don't.

Well, it's never too late.

You know you ought to
think more about that trip,

you know-- give you a chance to
lay back, relax a little bit.

Yeah, I just
don't have the time.

[knocking]

Hey, you two, dinner's ready.

Hey, boy, I'm ready for that.

You do take time out
to eat, don't you?

Only under duress.

Consider yourself duressed.

Come on.

Was that a great meal or what?

JONATHAN SMITH:
That was terrific.

MARK GORDON: You guys eat
like that all the time?

LUKE MORGAN: Uh, not hardly.

Actually, Gary and I both eat
on the run most of the time.

Right, son?

Hm?

I said, we don't,
uh, get a chance to eat

together very often these days.

Well, yeah, right.

Say, you know
what I was thinking?

I was thinking the only thing
that could taste any better

would be a big trout right out
of the water and flop right

into the frying pan.
[chuckling]

Hey, Mark.

Lighten up, OK?

We've been through
that-- no trip.

I wish you'd reconsider, son.

I don't get it, Dad.

Why now?

[laughs] That's one of the
things that really used

to bug Mom when she was alive.

You never knew how
to take a vacation.

Hey, remember the time
we went to Hawaii right

after you got your phones hooked
up, so you could do business?

Did you ever go near the water?

Did you ever even get wet?

No, I guess I didn't.

No, what you did do was get
a building project going--

200 condos.

And we never took a vacation
in one of them, either.

That was a long time ago.

Well, nothing's changed.

There's so many things we
were going to do together

and never did.

Uh, well, you all
have to excuse me.

I got to get back to work.

I'll see you later, OK?

[door closing]

MARK GORDON: This kid's amazing.

I'll say that for him.

I mean, everything he went
out for, he's the best--

baseball, gymnastics, motocross.

I mean, you talk about
your all around athlete.

No, he's a competitive
kid, all right.

I just hope it's for
the right reasons.

What do you mean?

Well, is he competing
for the fun of competition

or to prove something
to his father?

MARK GORDON: Prove what?

That he's a winner too.

Nothing wrong
with being a winner.

Well, I think it's important
to learn that losing's

not such a big deal.

You know, if you plan your
wins and losses in this life

with the same importance, you're
on your way to being a man.

[sighing] Yeah, I don't think
this kid can handle losing.

I mean, he's never had to.

Wait a minute.

That's it.

What's it?

I think I found a way to
get that kid on the trip.

But you're going
to have to help.

JONATHAN SMITH: How?

You're going to have
to give me the stuff.

Oh, no.

No, Mark, I'm sorry.

Oh, come on, Jonathan.

Now, please.

It's for my best friend.

What do you say?

All right, but within reason.

Within reason.

[sighing] You really
think you're going

to con him into this, huh?

If he's anything like his
father, and I think he is,

it's a cinch.

Luke never passed up a
challenge in his life.

We'll soon find out.

All you got to do now
is give me the stuff.

You already got it.

[clanging]

Morning, Tarzan.

Morning.

Hey, you do that all the time?

Yep, every day.

Oh, it looks like
a lot of work to me.

It's good for you.

You ought to try it sometime.

Oh, I don't have to Some of
us are just naturally strong.

Oh, yeah, sure.

Hey, don't let
this tire fool you.

I'm a rock.

I've never met anybody who
can lift more weight than me.

Mark, you're into one
of your tall tales again.

Put your money
where your mouth is.

Are you kidding?

I'm just warming up
with this weight.

I mean, no offense, but you
wouldn't stand a chance.

Like I said, put your
money where your mouth is.

Mark, I couldn't
take money from you.

It wouldn't be fair.

Oh, well, let's make
it a gentleman's bet.

You win, I'll stop bugging
you about the trip.

I win, you go on the trip.

Look, I told you to
forget about the trip, OK?

Fine.

You win, I'll stop bugging
you about the trip.

I mean, unless you're
too chicken to try.

[chuckling] You
got to be kidding.

MARK GORDON: No,
I'm not kidding.

OK.

OK, you're on.

That's what I like to hear.

Hey, put what you
want on the bar.

Jonathan, you want
to put another 25 on?

You got it, Gar.

[clanging]

There you go.

[chuckling] [grunting]

[music playing]

Uh, there you go.

[music playing]

[grunting]

[music playing]

Let's put some
weight on this thing.

JONATHAN SMITH: Now
how about a couple 45s?

MARK GORDON: Sounds good to me.

You got to be kidding.

Just put them
on there, my lad.

[music playing]

[clanging]

There you go.

[music playing]

Your turn.

[music playing]

[sighing]

[music playing]

Why don't we put a
couple of 35s on here?

That's 430 pounds.

I don't count them.

I just lift them.

[laughter]

[music playing]

[clanging]

Oh, [muttering].

[humming]

Your turn, my lad.

Forget it, you win.

[music playing]

[laughter] I
knew it would work.

You were right.

Boy, I feel great
when I got the stuff.

Yeah.

[grunting]

[whimpers]

That's cute, Jonathan-- cute.

How's that marketing
plan going, Gary?

Well, I was pretty
much on schedule.

But this trip's
not going to help.

LUKE MORGAN: That's
gin, my friend.

MARK GORDON: Oh, no.
LUKE MORGAN: [laughter]

MARK GORDON: Yeah,
you blitzed me again.

When are you going
to let me win one?

Never, I hope.

[chuckling]
MARK GORDON: Look at you.

Look at the look in your eye.
You love that.

You've always loved that.

You gloat.

Hey, why don't
you take him on?

MARK GORDON: Always
beating me all the time.

What for?

He'll win.

He always wins.

MARK GORDON: I forgot how.

It's just a game.

Who cares who wins?

I do-- so does he.

MARK GORDON: What are
you laughing about?

Believe me, so does he.

Amazing what people think's
important in this life.

MARK GORDON: What
does it matter?

Better pull into a gas station
before we hit the mountains.

[door opening]

Fill this rig up, gents?

Uh, yeah, and
check the oil too.

You got it.

Hey, Jonathan?

Yeah?

You want me to drive the rest
of the way up to the meadows?

You'll do anything to get
out of losing another gin

rummy game, won't you?

Right.

So you don't think you
could give me the stuff

again for about an hour?

Mark, Mark, Mark.

Yeah, guess not, huh?

I could hide the 7s.

I got all the luck
of a run over snake.

Want a soda?

No thanks.

That's something else we
were going to do together--

never did.

[music playing]

[music playing]

Oh, I tell you, Luke,
I could get used to this.

[chuckling]

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Those steaks about ready?

I'm so hungry, my belly
thinks my throat's cut.

[laughter]

[laughter]

Yeah, they're about ready.

Go tell Gary, will you?

Oh, you got it.

Hey, steaks are ready.

I'm not hungry.

Come on, they smell great.

Mark, I told you
I'm not hungry.

Why don't you
put this stuff away

and come outside for a while?

[sighing] I got
too much work to do.

It is supposed to be
a vacation, remember?

Mark, I thought
a vacation was when

you did whatever you felt like.

Well, I feel like working
on my marketing report, OK?

OK.

Where's Gary?

[sighing] He's got his
nose in that plan book.

Yep.

[music playing]

[sighing] How does
it happen, Jonathan?

How does a father and a
son grow so far apart?

My son, my son.

[sighing]

[music playing]

Well, Luke, nothing
worth doing is easy.

You're just going to have to
give him more time, that's all.

I don't have the time, Mark.

Oh, come on.

You know, that's been your
problem your whole life.

You're in a hurry
for everything.

Things like this do
not happen in a hurry.

This particular
thing has to, Mark.

Why?

Because I'm dying.

[chuckling] You're what?

I'm dying.

Hemolytic anemia, they call it.

It's a disease with a very
short survival time tag on it.

My time's almost up.

[sighing]

You sure there's no, uh--

I've had the
best medical advice

in the whole world, old friend.

[sighing] Oh.

Uh, um, does Gary know?

No, and I don't want him to.

I don't have his love.

I certainly don't want his pity.

[music playing]

He's dying, Jonathan.

Luke's dying.

I know, buddy.

Did he tell you?

He didn't have to.

Luke's our assignment.

[sobs]

[music playing]

Engine trouble, son?

GARY MORGAN: No,
just fine tuning.

I'm going to do some fishing.

Care to come along?

No thanks.

I'm going to catch
us some dinner.

Gary is not giving
Luke a chance.

And what are you
doing now, bailing out?

That's right.
I've had it.

Why?

Hey, I won a bet, remember?

Well, I'm welching on
it, Mark, so forget it.

I'm giving up.

I don't have time for this.

Well, you had
better make time.

Look, Mark, you're his friend.

You don't have to be a success.

I do.

I'm his son.

You can talk to him.
I can't.

I don't have anything
to say to him.

And he doesn't have
anything to say to me.

You haven't
given him a chance.

Look, Mark, I
don't need a lecture.

He's your buddy.

He wants to spend the
time with you, anyway.

That's not true.

It's true enough for me.

Gary, don't do this
to your father, please!

Tell him I had to get back
for my computer classes.

Can't you at
least tell him that?

We don't
communicate, remember?

[engine starting]

So long, Mark.

[engine starting]

[engine revving]

[music playing]

How'd you get here?

Same way you did, on a bike.

Why'd you come after me?

Talk you into going
back and getting

it together with your father.

Forget it, Jonathan.

Got to give it a chance.

[sighing] Look,
I've got my work.

That's what's important to me.

That's what your
father thought.

You were complaining about him.

And now you're doing
the same thing.

You two are a lot alike.

You know that?

Spare me, OK?

[clicking]

It's not going to do any good.

You're leaking oil.

Must've cracked the case.

[sighing] Oh, damn it!

You're not going to be
able to walk out of here,

not before dark.

Look, I'll take you down
to the bus tomorrow.

Come on, what's one more day?

I guess I don't
have a choice, do I?

No, son, I guess you don't.

[music playing]

They've been gone a long time.

Well, you know how bikers are.

They get going, they
lose all track of time.

[chuckling] Time.

Sorry, old friend.

It's a manifestation
of the disease.

They tell me it gets more
acute toward the end.

[sighing] How much
time you have, Luke?

A month, maybe a bit more.

I thought I'd be afraid.

But I'm not.

Are you afraid of death, Mark?

Not a bit, old friend--

not a bit.

[laughter]

What's funny?

Oh, just something
I remember reading--

some famous last remarks.

One of my favorites
is William Saroyan's.

Everybody has to die.

But I always
believed an exception

would be made in my case.
- [chuckling]

[laughter]

Oh, how about the one
that Woody Allen came

up with when his time comes?

It's not that I'm afraid to die.

I just don't want to be
there when it happens.

[laughter]

[laughter]

It's like they
say, Mark, it seems

that death shown
out the front door

will just come back
in by the window.

[laughter] So we just as well
be civil, after him a drink,

and be glad he's
not from the IRS.

[laughter]

[laughter]

[engine revving]

Well, the prodigals return.

Son, I thought you
fine tuned that machine.

[door slamming]

[sighing] I'm sorry, Luke.

All that kid's thinking
about is himself.

And who does he think he is?

Don't judge the boy, Mark.

I was a good friend to
you, bad father to him.

It's so beautiful
this time of day.

Sun'll be going down.

I think I'll take a walk.

You'll have to tell him.

You'll have to tell
him his father's dying.

He doesn't want him to know.

Mark, he has to know.

[sighing]

[coyote howling]

[door creaking]

Relax, I'm not your father.

Where is he?

He's sitting by the river.

Gary, um, I've got
to talk to you.

Oh, lecture time again?

No.

We're way past the
time for lectures.

Good.

Not so good.

I've got something to tell you.

It's not easy.

I mean, you're in such
a rush to be a man.

Well, you're going to
take this like a man.

[sighing] Luke has got some rare
disease, some kind of anemia.

It affects the blood cells.

He didn't want you to know.

Oh, come on.

Did he put you up to this?

Or you doing this on your own?

Gary.

I mean, first
your friend gives

me a spiel that doesn't work.

So now you go for the "your
father's sick" routine.

Well, forget it, Mark.

He's a bully.

He'll end up tapping
on all our graves.

He's terminal.

Mark, please.

Hey, you listen to me.

Damn it, you listen to me.

Your father is dying.

Do you hear what I'm saying?

Luke is dying!

[sighing] But
it can't be, Mark.

I'm sorry.

It can be.

And it is.

[music playing]

[sighing] You got a
chance now to do something

not many people have.

[sighing] Chance to what?

Chance to tell your father
how you really feel about him.

There's so many times in my
life I have heard people say,

god, if I'd said
this or if I'd said

that to somebody they love.

But they waited, Gary.

They waited until
it was too late.

And then all the things that
needed saying just never got

said.

[sighing] I don't
know if I can.

Sure you can, Gary.

Sure you can.

[sighing]

Listen now, don't, uh--

don't tell him you
know he's dying, OK?

He just-- he needs
your love, man.

He needs your love freely given.

You understand that?

[sighing]

[music playing]

GARY MORGAN: Hey, you
guys caught breakfast yet?

Are you kidding me?

Wait just a minute here.

[laughter] Look at
these beauties here.

[laughter] Luke is going
to be doing KP all morning.

He has got zip.

And we have got a bet
on the biggest fish.

[laughter]

Hey, hey, I got a bite.

I got one.

I got-- he's a big one.

He's-- he's-- I got
a big one there.

Oh, here he comes.
I got him.

He's a beauty.

[laughter]

Hey, way to go, Dad.

Whoa.

Oh, I don't believe it.

I'm going to have dishpan hands.

Dad, what do you say we, uh,
take a walk after breakfast,

huh?

Yeah, sure, son.

That'd be great.

All right, I'll
get the grill going.

Did you hear that?

What's going on?

Am I doing something right?

Probably impressed him with
that whale you just caught.

[chuckling]

[music playing]

Look, son.

They're so small, you'd
pass it by without a glance.

But look, it-- it--

it's so perfect and so delicate.

It-- it's amazing.

And I spent that my
whole life not seeing it.

But it's never too
late, is it, son?

No, sir.

Hey, now, I've
got a terrific idea.

Remember that
amusement park we saw

advertised at the gas station?

Wonderland, wasn't it?

Yeah.

How about we drive
over there tonight,

do something different?

Sounds good to me.

You know, I've never
had cotton candy.

I think I'll try it.

Wonderland, here we come.

[laughter] Great.

[chuckling]

[music playing]

[thump]

[thump]

Oh, yeah.

[chuckling]

[thump]

[laughter]

[music playing]

We've been bumping heads
a long time, haven't we?

We missed someplace
along the line.

Yeah, we did.

My fault, you know?

I haven't exactly
been the perfect son.

This trip's really
turning out to be something.

I'm going to hate going back.

Let's not go back.

But what about your computer
classes and your business

program?

They can wait.

I'll get to them.

You mean it?

You bet I do.

Great.

Great.

MAN: I'll head over to
Soda Springs Junction

and get ourselves a soda pop.

MAN: I have one.

[laughter]

[thump]

[laughter]

Let's see your stuff.

Stand back, son.

I'm going to send this
thing into next year.

All right, I'm ready.

[chuckling]

[thump]

Falling a little short of the
mark there, Dad, I'm afraid.

Not bad.

Well, I'm going to have
to show you how it's done.

Come on, wimpy.

Try it.

All right, you ready for this?

[thump]

[bell ring]

Hey, all right.

CROWD: [applause]

I don't believe it.

I finally beat you at something.

You sure did, son.

And you're going to beat me a
lot more before you're through.

[crying]

Mark told you, didn't he?

Told me what?

It's all right, son.

It's all right.

[crying] It's not fair.

It's not fair.

I know, son.

I know.

[crying]

But nobody promised
us a tomorrow.

You play life as it comes.

[crying] But
everything I worked

for, everything I do is to
make you and Mom proud of me.

Now who's going to be there?

Who's going to know?

I'll be there.

I'll know.

[sighing] Dad, I love you.

You know that, don't you?

I love you, son.

Oh.

[patting]

[sighing]

We've waited 19
years for this.

Now let's not stand
around and waste it.

Let's enjoy every minute of it--

every minute of it.

LUKE MORGAN: Hey, Mark!

We're going on the
roller coaster.

You guys game?

No, you go on ahead.

OK, coward.

Come on.

Time to go.

[carnival music]

So long, little buddy.

So long.

[chatter]

MAN: Let's go.
