[Eddie] Why do we celebrate things?

[Tom] Well, to remember happy times.

[Eddie] Was when Columbus
was born a happy times?

[Tom] Oh, for his parents, it was. Yes.

[Eddie] And then he discovered America

and we celebrate his birthday.

[Tom] Right.

[Eddie] What did I ever discover?

[Tom] Oh, you, you mean because
we celebrate your birthday?

[Eddie] Yeah.

[Tom] You discovered me.

[Eddie] I like that.

[Eddie] I wish I could be
born on the 4th of July.

[Tom] Why?

[Eddie] Well, then all the fireworks

would go off in the air and it
would help your celebration.

[Tom] I have enough to celebrate
on your birthday, Eddie.

I really do.I really do.

[scatting]

- Boy, that was good.
- Hm. Yes, it really was.

Thank you.

I want you to know something.
I think you are a master chef.

And next time Mrs. Livingston
takes a day off

you have yourself a job
if you'd like it, right?

- Right.
- Right.

The guests inspired the menu.

Yeah.
What do you call all this?

Franks and beans.

- Right.
- Right.

- Now it's cleanup time.
- I'll get it.

- She should go there, please.
- Right.

Man's work is never done.

- See that?
- Yes, hard to miss.

What is it?

Looks like a big calendar to me.

You got a bigcalendar.

Yeah. What I got is a
big wall decoration.

Why do you have the circle around 11?

No reason.
It just looks nice.

[Tom] Oh, yeah?

It wouldn't be your birthday, would it?

Uh, what's the matter with you?

What do you got against the
number 11? It's a nice number.

I could've just as easily circled 15.

- But you didn't.
- Is it your birthday?

What do you guys got
against the number 11?

Why does it have to be
somebody's birthday?

Ah. You didn't answer his question.

I also didn't do the dishes

and that's something I haveto do.

[chuckles]

Hm?

Oh.

Yeah. What can I do for you?

Is it really his birthday?

I'm sure it is. Yes.

Then why doesn't he say
anything about it?

Well, he's probably just
tryin' to be polite.

You know, he doesn't want us
to make a fuss, I guess.

What kind of fuss?

Oh, like presents, throwing him a party.

- Hey.
- Oh, you like that idea, huh?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Well, last year he gave me a party.

- And he gave me presents.
- That's true. He did.

Wouldn't it be nice if
we could do somethin'

like that for him too?

- A party?
- Yeah.

That's a very good idea.

- Yeah, it is.
- Alright, we'll do it.

- Good, but...
- What?

We'll make it our secret.

It'll be a surprise party.

Okay, alright, okay.
That is a good idea too.

Uh, what is a good idea?

Nothing. N-nothing, right?
We were just sayin', um, uh

the-the numbers, uh, you were right.

Number 11 and number 15,
uh, they're the same.

Hey, you changed my number.

Well, you said it didn't
make any difference.

- It doesn't, does it?
- No.

No.

So be sure and keep the 11th open.

We'll work out the details later.

And whatever you do, don't
mention anything to Norman

because it's gonna be a surprise party.

Okay.

[sighs] Okay, Tina, look.
Here's the list.

You wanna check it over and make
sure I didn't forget any names?

Yeah, now do you think I can help

with the preparations or anything like--

Well, that's really
Mrs. Livingston's department

but I know she could use some help.

Okay.

That was really some subtle hint
to have wall-to-wall calendar

with the 11th circled in red.

I'm not so sure that was a hint.

It's just like Norman to circle
his birthday just for kicks.

I mean, no particular reason...

Ah, Tina, you type that up
and get it in the office

and I'll sign it as soon as possible.

- Hello, Norman.
- Hello.

- Very misterioso.
- What's that?

The mood around here. The strange
way everybody's acting.

Oh.

Nobody mentioned anything?

- About what?
- My birthday.

Are you having another birthday?

Tina, everybody has a birthday.

But why are we talking about yours?

Because mine's coming up
this Saturday, the 11th.

[sighs] Has a year gone by already?

- Nobody said anything?
- Mnh-mnh.

It seems like only yesterday.

Listen, I wanna tell you something.

I don't want anybodyto take any
special notice on my birthday.

What kind of notice?

Any kind of notice.
I mean it.

Not even a little card maybe?

Well, a little card maybe would be okay.

Yeah. What kind?
Uh, with flowers?

Or a, a study with books and a pipe.

I know.
A hunting scene with a dog.

Hey, a hunting scene with
a dog would be terrific.

Okay. What are you doin' Saturday night?

- I, I have plans.
- What kind of plans?

I-I have a date.

What's Tom doing Saturday night?

Oh, he and Eddie are-are going to watch

a few innings of hockey.

Look, Tina, I don't want anything

anythingdone about my birthday.

And please don't mention this
conversation to Tom and Eddie.

'Cause in case I'm wrong, I
wouldn't wanna embarrass 'em.

Okay. So it'll be Norman's
house, 7 o'clock.

Why there?

Well, I just don't think
he'd get suspicious

if it takes place in his own home.

- How can you get him there?
- Ah, I don't know yet.

Maybe a pretense of business
or somethin' like that.

I don't know. Leave it to me.
I'll get him there.

- Good.
- Yeah.

Okay, now here's the, uh,
the time and the place.

And maybe you can coordinate
the refreshments with Tina?

Yes.

And we'll definitely have a cake.

Oh, we're definitely gonna have a cake.

And we'll have to have candles too.

Lots and lots of candles.

Only three candles.

But Uncle Norman isn't three years old.

For adult, three.
Three candles.

One for the past, one for the present

and one for the future.

But that way you don't
know how old he is.

[chuckles]

Yeah, that's right.

Oh.

You know, Eddie is really
turned on about this party.

- He is excited.
- I know. So am I.

Let me see, Mrs. Livingston
is taking care

of all the decorations and
I just ordered a cake

from this great cake-making place.

- It's called a bakery.
- Yeah, cake-making bakery and--

Look, I'm not really
concerned about that, Tina.

What I am worried about is
how we're gonna get Norman

out of his apartment,
so that we can get in?

Yeah, I know.
I've been thinking about that

and I remembered my aunt
once gave a surprise party

for my uncle and she had his
best friend take him out

for a drink while they
were fixing the place up.

- Did it work?
- Uh...

Well, not exactly the way
she expected it to.

You see, they didn't come
back for three days.

Oh.

But when he got back, he said it was

the most marvelous
birthday he'd ever had.

Well, that's fine,
I'll... Hello, Norman.

- Hi, Tom. Hi, Tina.
- Hey, you're very up today.

Oh, sure, I'm up. I'm feeling
good. I solved my problem.

Problem? What problem is that?

How to get through the terrible trauma

of having another birthday.

And I'm glad that you
both respected my wishes

and are not doing anything about it.

Well, you said you didn't
want us to do anything.

True, because I absolutely
positively hate birthdays.

- You're kidding.
- I'm not kidding.

I never ever in my entire life

have had a good time on my birthday.

I never ever in my entire life

have received a present
that I really dug.

I never ever in my entire life

have had a party that came all smoothly.

Traditionally, my birthday's

become the worst day of the year.

Well, you never can tell.

Oh, I can.
That's why I'm feeling good.

I've decided to do something about it.

- Oh.
- Mm-hm.

You know that marvelous
hotel, La Casa De Grande?

Uh, yeah.
The big one up the coast?

I've always wanted to go there.

So I have a reservation
for this weekend.

- This weekend?
- Yes.

By the way, I have to take off a
little early this afternoon.

- I hope you don't mind.
- What... M-mind?

Min... No, of course, why would I mind?

I thought, I was thinking, uh

perhaps you could, uh,
uh, uh, join me today.

For the hockey game.

I'm sure I can get another ticket.

Where are you gonna get another ticket?

The same place we got the other tickets.

- Yeah.
- Thanks.

But no, thanks.
I really have to get away.

Some place in the sun.
Something different.

Something exciting. I'll have
a great time at Grande.

You won't have a great time.
You'll hate it there. You...

He won't like it, will he?
He won't... You know why?

Because it's, it's got nothing
in it, but famous people

celebrities.
It's really a drag.

Nothing's perfect. I have
some things to finish off.

Well, thank you very much.
See you later. Yeah, bye.

Bye, Norman. If I don't
get a chance to see you

have a nice weekend.

Well, one of us might as
well have a nice weekend.

[telephone rings]

- Yes, hello.
- Hi, dad.

Oh, hi, sport.

Mrs. Livingston got the greatest

stuff you ever saw.

There are horns and noise makers

and snappers and everything.

Oh, well, uh, that-that's
great, sport. G-great.

And... Uncle Norman's gonna be so happy.

Oh, Eddie, that's, that's marvelous.

But, uh, look, you know, sport

it's possible something could come up.

I, uh, I wouldn't want
you to get too excited.

What could come up?

You said that you could get him to come

and once he comes, he'll
have a terrific time.

Eddie, you're absolutely right.

Once he comes, he will
have a terrific time.

Look, I'll-I'll see you
later, okay, sport?

Okay. Bye, dad.

Tina, there's only one
thing to remember.

Once he comes, he'll
have a terrific time.

I'll try to remember that.

But how are you gonna get him to come?

I don't know.

Ah, Norman, I don't know--

That work's comin' along just fine.

I'm gonna be able to leave
early this afternoon.

Oh, old buddy, I'm sorry.

I just got a, uh, call
from the home office.

I'm afraid they've canceled
the entire picture layout.

We're gonna have to improvise.

You'll have to cancel your
plans for this weekend

'cause we're gonna have to work.

Ordinarily I'd say yes, right?

And we'd go right into work
and finish it, right?

But this weekend isn't ordinary.
It's my birthday.

Ah, we'll spend it together.

I hate spending it with anybody.

Norman, social life is one
thing, but work is another.

Don't I always work
weekends when you ask me?

- Of course.
- Just this once, don't ask.

But, Norman, this isn't a favor.
This is work!

The layout isn't due till Wednesday.

What's the big rush?
Why ruin my weekend?

Tina, we can't panic. Right?

Come on.
Now we cannot panic, okay?

Alright, we have one strike
against this, that's all.

But we're not out of
the old ballgame yet.

Oh, I'm glad to hear that.

I thought we were doing very poorly.

Oh, Tina, please, thinkof something.

Anything at all.

Look at this.
Look what I just got.

- What is it?
- What is it?

Look at this. It's typed
right here. Read it.

Well, let's... Well,
will you give me that?

How can I read it if I
don't have it, Norman?

- I can't believe it. Read that.
- Thank you, thank you.

You're welcome.
Read it. Go ahead.

"Dear Mr. Tinker, we
regret the necessity

"for canceling your weekend reservation

"due to an unexpected visit by
a group of foreign diplomats

and their host, the president
of the United States."

Oh, whoopee.

"This visit makes unavailable the
room set aside for your use.

"We trust you'll understand
and will give us

"an opportunity to serve you soon.

Sincerely, The Manager, The
Hotel De La Casa Grande."

Hm, another opportunity?
Fat chance he's got.

Norman, that's the president
of the United States.

Ooh, he's gonna hear from
me the next elections.

Well, at least he wasn't
tacky about the telegram.

Yeah, yeah, look how much money
they spent on the telegram.

Oh, that does me an awful
lot of good, doesn't it?

Okay, Norman, look, I
know you're disappointed

but it does solve another problem.

- What other problem?
- Working this weekend.

I am not working this weekend.

I just gotta find another place to go.

Well, it's too late to try to
get reservations for tonight.

- Yeah.
- Today it's too late.

Tonight it's too late.
Tomorrow's another day.

Yeah, I like the nerve of them.

Is that what's known as strike two?

Hey, dad, look.
Here's some more great stuff.

Oh, that's marvelous.

And I got some snappers
and some confetti.

Those are, they're really
super stuff, okay.

Mrs. Livingston picked
'em out, but I agreed.

Well, Eddie, Eddie, it
really is marvelous stuff

but you know, sometimes
people make plans--

Yeah, and that's the best part.

When people make plans, you
can look forward to 'em.

You're really looking forward
to this party, aren't you?

Sure I am. Don't go away.
I wanna show you somethin' else.

[sighs]

[telephone rings]

- Hello?
- Yeah. Hello, Norman.

- This is Tom.
- Oh, hi. How are you?

[Tom] Uh, well, Norman, not too good.

Listen, I-I have a problem.

You got a problem?

Yeah, I don't know what
you're so nervous about.

The deadline isn't till Wednesday.

We got plenty of time.

Well, it's, it's not only that. Listen.

[clears throat] Have you, have
you made any other plans

for the weekend?

Yeah. I'm going to, uh, Cambria Pines.

I'm gonna leave around noon.

Well, I'm afraid you can't do that.

Look, uh, Norman, there's
something that you should, uh--

Hey, dad. Look at this.

No, no, no. Sport, wait. Please,
I'm on the telephone, huh?

Uh...

Uh, N-Norman, would you... Nor-Norman?

Norman? Norman?

- Hello, hello. What is it?
- Oh, oh, alright.

N-Nor-Norman, look, uh

b-before you go, uh, out tomorrow

uh, could you just, uh, could
you just stop by here, please?

I-I, it's really important.
I-I would like to talk to you.

You know any-any time that's convenient.

You wanna know something?
You're very persistent.

Look, I'll, I'll be there
at 10:30, but I am not staying.

Oh. No, that's fine.
Fine, I-I-I understand.

I will see you tomorrow.

- That was Uncle Norman, huh?
- Yes, it was.

Mrs. Livingston, could you
come in for a second, please?

- Yes.
- Is everything okay.

Everything is super.
I have just made a plan.

- What kind of plan?
- The best kind of plan.

Norman will be out of his
apartment tomorrow, right?

So then you and Mrs. Livingston
and Tina can all sneak over

with the office staff and decorate.

- Hey, great.
- Yeah.

He's gonna be here
tomorrow morning at 10:30.

So we will pack the car by 10 o'clock

and then you can wait
down in the garage.

As soon as you see him
arrive, you know it's safe

pfft, off to his apartment.

How will you keep Mr. Tinker
from returning home?

Well, I don't really know that yet.

But once I've got him here, believe me

I'll find a way of keeping him here.

Do you have a key to his house?

[Tom] No, no. That's the one
problem we do not have.

He always keeps his
sliding door unlocked.

Well, I guess that's everything.

Okay, it's 9:30.
Let's load the car.

[doorbell rings] Mr. Tinker?

Okay. Everybody, hide, hide.
Get it in there.

[clamoring]

Coming! Coming!

Tina.

Well, that's not the most
enthusiastic greeting I've got.

No, it's not... I'm
very glad to see you.

Alright, everybody, come
on out. It's only Tina.

Yeah, only Tina.
Only insignificant old Tina.

- Oh, Tina.
- I'm kidding.

- Tina, what's in the box?
- It's the cake.

- Should we look at it?
- Hey, yeah.

[doorbell rings]

Alright, alright. Get back.

[clamoring]

- Oh, Norman.
- Okay.

Well, you're early.

Yeah, I'm here.
What do you wanna show me?

No, I didn't wanna show
you anything, Norman.

I-I did wanna talk to you though.

You wanna sit down for a second?

Uh, uh, first of all, Norman,
I wanted to, uh, to wish you

a happy birthday and I want you to know

I do appreciate your coming
and it is your birthday

that I wanna talk about.

Now, Norman, I know that you've
been disappointed in the past

but that doesn't mean you
can go through life

continuing to expect disappointments.

Would you mind getting to the point?

Yeah, right, right.
Of course, okay.

Well, the point of it is this.

Now, uh, ahem, people who
expect disappointments

usually get the disappointment
that he expects.

But then there are other people, Norman

other-other people,
little people who, uh

who-who-who don't expect

or deserve, uh, t-to be
disappointed by this person.

What person are you talking about?

Oh, I'm not, I'm not talking
about a person, Norman.

I'm, I'm, I'm talking about a layout.

A layout?
What's it about?

Uh, well, Norman, it's about time.

It's about being in the right
place at the right time.

Speakin' of timing, I came
early, I'm gonna leave early.

If there's anything you
wanna discuss with me

I'd be glad to discuss it.

Yes, there, there is, Norman.
There is.

I wanna discuss the layout with you.

You see, it's about, uh,
it's about this guy

who had plans to go away
for a couple of days.

You see, but then
suddenly, he, he senses

something in the wind

so he decides to alter his plans.

Put off the trip for a little bit.

And, uh, you know what he does?

He changes all of his plans

and-and he decides to stay in
town. You know what he does?

He goes straight to the
beach and he stays there.

He stays there the entire day.

Are you understanding? He stays
at the beach all day long

and he thinks about things.
You understand?

And then when the sun
starts to go down...

- About 7 o'clock--
- Wait a minute.

I don't think the sun goes
down that early anymore.

At 7 o'clock, he goes home.

Do you understand? And then he
lets nature take its course.

You know, Tom, I like the
clarity of your thinking.

Oh. Oh, Norman. Oh, am I glad
to hear that? Thank you.

Well, uh, you just have a nice day.

[Tom] Attaboy.

Hey, you guys, it looks so great.

Yeah, it's comin' along, isn't it?

- Norman.
- What?

- Oh.
- Oh. Hi, Alex.

- Hi, Alex.
- Hi.

- Wow. Havin' a party?
- Yeah.

- The place looks far out.
- Hey, thank you.

- I'm just gonna use the shower.
- Oh, okay.

- See you later.
- Okay.

That, uh, that's Alex,
a friend of Norman's.

He, uh, showers here.

Dad, is Uncle Norman really gonna come?

Well, I hope so.
I expect him to.

But you had it all
arranged and everything.

Yes, I had it all arranged

if he understood the arrangement.

Now give these to Mrs. Livingston.

He sure better come or else
it won't be much of a party.

I think he will come.

[gasps] You know what?
We forgot to look at the cake!

Hey, yeah.

♪ Happy birthday to Norman ♪

♪ A happy birthday to Norman ♪

♪ Happy birthday to Norm... ♪♪

"Congratulations on your
bar mitzvah, Bernie?"

Oh, no. I should've checked it.
I should've checked it.

Ah, what?
Tina, don't get too excited.

Dad, it's the wrong name and everything.

Well, yeah, but the cake
will taste just as good.

But, dad, it still is the wrong name.

Hey, Uncle Norman is a grown
man. He'll understand.

- I'm so sorry.
- Oh, Tina, that's alright.

If you wanna be sorry for somebody

feel sorry for poor Bernie.

- I'm getting worried.
- I have not stopped worrying.

- Dad, what time is it?
- Oh, sport. It's awfully late.

I'm just afraid he's not
gonna... There he is!

Mr. Tinker?

- I think the door's locked.
- It was open before.

Oh, I think I accidentally locked it.

Oh, okay, alright.

Eddie, you go ahead and
sneak down to the door

and just reach around,
unlock it, then hide, okay?

- Alright.
- Quiet now, quiet.

Surprise!

[all] Surprise!

- Surprise!
- Happy birthday.

[indistinct chatter]

Hey, Norman. You... Come
on, you didn't know.

A surprise party!

Ah! Ah!

- And you got a cake!
- Yeah.

"Congratulations on your
bar mitzvah,Bernie."

Uh, we had a little
problem with the cake.

Yeah, you wouldn't believe

how tough this surprise party has been.

- Yeah.
- Well, don't worry about it.

So far, folks, the party's terrific.

Yeah, well, if you really feel
that way, you gotta thank Eddie.

- It was his idea.
- Thank you, Eddie.

And I want you to know
this is the first time

I've ever really had a
good birthday party.

No, tell the truth.
Were you really surprised?

There were surprise parties and
there were surprise parties.

But this is definitely a surprise party.

Here, this is for you.

- What is it?
- Open it up and you'll see.

Here you go. It's a lava
rock from a volcano.

Wow! What a great rock!

Isn't that terrific?

- Wow!
- It's all for you.

Okay. Now look here.
Open this.

"To Eddie, on my birthday."

I don't understand.

Eddie, what Uncle Norman
is trying to say

is that he is very grateful to you

for giving him back his birthday.

You mean you lost it?

Let's say, I misplaced it.

Eddie, I'll tell you the truth.
I really knew about this party.

But I also knew that you
wanted to throw it for me.

When I heard that, it
made me feel so good

I wanted to give the party back to you.

What I'm tryin' to say is, Eddie

besides your own birthday,
I want you to have mine.

- Happy birthday.
- Happy birthday.

- Tina.
- Everybody, enjoy.

I could use a little...

I bet you could.
I was so worried.

I thought you weren't gonna get here.

What are you worried about?

Just because a person
doesn't go on the beach

where he's supposed to go, instead
that person goes looking

for lava rocks and gets
a little hung up.

I wasn't sure.
I just wasn't sure. That's all.

You should have a little more
confidence in the person.

Yes, I should.
Happy birthday.

Here's one Uncle Norman forgot to open.

- Oh, yeah?
- Oh, let's see it.

[grunts]

"To Norman.
With love Norman."

Uh, Norman, something you
forgot to open here.

- Oh.
- Mm.

Uh, to Norman, with love Norman?

- Yeah. How come?
- Yeah.

Ah, it's a little insurance policy

in case nobody came through.

- But you came through.
- Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

- Hey, Tom, you want it?
- Uh, no, no, Norman, no.

It wouldn't be fair.
It's your birthday.

Yeah. Happy birthday, Norman.

Yeah.

[laughs]

- Do fish go to school?
- No, fishes live in schools.

[Eddie] Poor fish.

[Tom] Well, did you have a
nice day today, sport?

[Eddie] I always have a nice day
when we do things together.

- Are you getting hungry?
- No.

- You wanna go home?
- No.

[Eddie] Just wanna sit
here and watch the fish.

[Tom] Yeah, they are
pretty, aren't they?

[Eddie] Yeah, and smart.

They spend all their time in school.
