Yes, I do.

You're one of

the nicest people I've met.

How do you do it?

On the fast break. What a job.

Let's get this done.

It's in the corner--

Oh. Go Knicks.

Oh! Heartbreak!

He lost it.

Must need a new center.

Good night.

Come in.

Hey, Josh.

Hi.

What time is it?

It's 10:
00 or somethin'.

Mmm.

What are you

doin' here so late?

I finished up

on the Astro Blaster.

So? What do you think?

It's okay.

I know what you mean.

Astro Blaster, Laser Might--

They're all the goddamn same.

Wasn't always that way.

I remember

there was this duck once.

You mean, like,

a-a rubber duck for the bath?

No, no, no. Just a...

little, wooden, quacky duck.

And a string on the bottom

and you pulled him forward,

he'd waddle from side to side.

And I realized...

if you put the head on a hinge,

just a little wooden dowel,

then the beak would peck at the ground

when it pulls forward.

See? Oh.

Just-- I had an idea.

Look at this.

Come over here.

You know what this is?

It's a report on how to expand

the heavy adventure market past

the 12-year-old cutoff point.

- You can't do that. It doesn't work.

- Why not?

Y-You can't keep a kid

from growing up.

All a 13-year-old boy wants

is a 13-year-old girl.

And I sure don't know

how to build one of those.

What's this?

What does it look like?

Shampoo, razor,

toothpaste, two neckties

and your exercise tape.

Susan--

And I want

my keys back.

Sure.

It was just some scratches, honey.

He'll get over it.

It has nothing to do with him.

Oh, what is this, then?

Your one big moment

of redemption?

Yeah. Yeah,

that sounds good to me.

Come on, Susan.

He's just another link in the chain.

First it was Tom Caulfield.

Then Handlen.

Then Golding. Then me.

Am I missing somebody?

It's not like that anymore.

What is so special about Baskin?

He's a grown-up.

Susan--

I can't believe

you brought up Golding.

Can't believe you slept with him.

Oh!

Catch. Catch the dough. Catch!

A little piece of dough over there!

Here it come!

Throw me the dough.

Right here.

Hey! Hey!

Oh, my God!

Got him!

He's really good!

# Happy birthday to you #

Surprise!

# Happy birthday to you #

# Happy birthday

Happy birthday #

# DearJosh #

# Happy birthday #

#Toyou ##

# And many more #

Happy birthday to you.

You!

Hey.

What are you gonna

wish for this time?

I know what we can do.

We can get some beers

and some dirty magazines--

I can't, Billy.

What? Of course you can.

It's your birthday.

I have to go somewhere.

Where? Where?

Um,

well, I have to

go meet somebody and--

So I got all night.

Yeah, I know, but, see, I-I just

Well, I can't right now.

But I'll call you. All right?

Okay? I'll give you a call.

Thanks again, Billy!

It was fun!

Yeah. Fun.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Do you want to come in?

- Sure.

Sit down.

Wanna go?

Yeah! Yeah.

Okay.

Wanna go again?

How come you have

all these points?

'Cause I'm just tappin' 'em.

You don't have to kill 'em.

Rick Rhoden, on the mound.

He takes the curve.

Here's the windup

and the pitch.

Pick a prize.

So they have these cars

that you can actually drive,

except they're on this rail,

so you can't get off the road--

You have a really big

gob of mustard right--

What?

Mustard.

- Where?

- Right there.

- Is it gone?

- Well

Here.

- That gone?

- Yeah.

Listen.

Oh, the music?

Wanna dance?

Dance?

We don't have to

if you don't want to.

Okay. Okay.

All right.

Okay.

Are you cold?

Mm-mmm.

We could get some

hot chocolate, you know.

Mm-mmm.

You can wear my jacket

if you want.

Come on.

It'll be fun.

I'm scared.

What are you worried about?

You're with me, right?

All right. You're on.

Oh, I haven't done this

in a long time.

What were you like

when you were younger?

Oh, well,

I wasn't much different.

I believe that about you.

I've been thinking

about you a lot.

It's crazy.

In my car,

lying in bed.

I've just never gone out

with someone like you.

With all the other men,

there was so much to hide.

I feel like I can tell you anything.

Susan? Susan?

There's something

I think I should tell you.

What?

You want the light on?

Good morning.

Hey, Brent! How are you?

Good morning!

Hi, everybody!

Hi, Josh!

Josh. My man!

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning, sir.

I'd like some coffee,

please, Miss Patterson.

But you don't drink coffee.

And, uh, make it black.

It was a dream, honey.

Atlantic City was beautiful

and Donald was so romantic--

I know I'm late with this,

but congratulations, Mrs. Hicks.

Barbara, you are not

going to believe this.

Hold on.

You know, you two

should come to Vermont.

It is so pretty up there now.

We spent

our anniversary there.

All you did was watch TV.

I popped popcorn too.

He likes

that intellectual stuff.

Anybody happen to

see that great documentary

about Columbus...

on PBS the other night?

Mm-mmm.

Uh, no. Was it good?

I had no idea

he had a fourth ship.

Yeah.The Santa Cristina.

That's right.

He only had that

on his second trip though.

- You saw it too.

- No.

But I-I used to... study,

you know, the stuff, so--

Really?

Dad, I need some help

with my alge

Uh, not now, Adam.

- Yeah, Dad, you said--

- Adam, we have guests.

He's had the roughest

time with algebra.

We've tried tutors, everything.

Mom!

With algebra?

I used to study that too.

Isn't that nice?

Okay, look. Forget all the X's

and Y's stuff...

'cause that was invented

by some teacher that hates kids.

All right.

Let's imagine that Larry Bird...

is gonna score 10 points

in a quarter, okay?

Yeah, okay.

- So how many points is he

gonna score in the entire game?

- That's easy-- 40 points.

Exactly. That's algebra.

Righ It is?

Yeah. See? Okay,

one quarter is to 10 points

that he scores in a quarter...

just as four--

You're right.

He's wonderful.

I know.

Ohh!

You can do this for earned run averages,

field goal percentages, whatever.

That's pretty cool.

I don't wanna hear it anymore.

You constantly bring--

What's home?

This is my house.

What's home? Fine.

It's your house, you pay for it.

Billy, are you on the phone?

I'm doin' it.

Hey, Billy,

get off the phone.

Listen to your mother.

Mmm.

He's never done this before.

Kind of like a sweepstakes.

Get the art department

on the phone. Get them!

Send out

for some sandwiches.

Cajun or deli?

Maybe next year, right?

Next year.

- You can do it. I know you can.

- I cannot plan a whole line.

Why? Nobody knows more

about toys in this

entire company than you.

Susan, that means marketing

and strategy and stuff.

All he wants

is a proposal.

I can't--

You come up with the ideas,

and I'll handle the marketing.

Excuse me.

But it

Come on.

It'll be neat.

Oh, I-- I don't know.

I don't have any ideas

for new toys or anything.

You've got great ideas.

Cute. Can you walk the dog?

Forget how to knock?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Hey! Hey, you guys!

Wait up for me!

"Department of Consumer Affairs"?

Yeah, buddy! It came!
