commitments aren't good enough.

How can you say that?

Who takes care of everyone

in this household?

Who makes sure that

Daddy eats right?

I have not seen

such good-doing since your mother.

Really?

Really.

Now, get back to work.

Later, while we were learning

about the Pismo Beach disaster,

I decided I needed

a complete makeover,

except this time,

I'd makeover my soul.

But what makes somebody

a better person?

Then I realized all my friends

were good in different ways.

Like Christian,

he always wants things

to be beautiful and interesting.

Or Dionne and Murray,

when they think no one is watching,

are so considerate of each other.

And poor Miss Geist,

always trying to get us involved

no matter how much we resist.

Oh. That's just...

That doesn't even show...

Every single possession,

every memory,

everything you've had

your whole life

gone in a second.

Can you imagine

what that must feel like?

Elton?

Can I use the pass?

Yeah. We'll be collecting blankets,

disposable diapers,

uh, canned goods.

Miss Geist?

Cher?

I want to help.

That would be wonderful.

I felt better already.

Daddy!

What?

You didn't like that

red caviar, did you?

What's she talking about?

Ew!

Cher, what are you doing?

I'm captain of the Pismo Beach

disaster relief.

I don't think

they need your skis.

Daddy, some people lost

all their belongings.

Don't you think that includes

athletic equipment?

This is your influence, Josh?

# Shake, some action's what I need?

# To make a bus stop at full speed?

# And I'm sure that's all you'll need?

# To make it all right?

...Really fun.

It's so pretty.

Should I leave it here?

Could you bring it to bedding?

Thank you very much.

Oh, Miss Geist,

I need more boxes.

They're all filled up.

Already? Great.

I divided them into

entrees and appetizers.

Oh. O.K.

I'll have them picked up.

Uh!

Hey.

Proper. This is really decent

of you, Travis.

Sure.

I wasn't sure about that.

I don't need it anymore,

but far be it for me

to deny anyone else.

I'm sorry about your shoes.

What shoes?

The red ones with the strappy thing.

Oh, those are so last-season.

What made you think of them?

It's one of my steps.

I joined this club,

and there are these steps.

There's, like...

12?

Yeah. How did you know?

Wild guess.

Wow. Good guess.

Uh, also, here.

ASL.

Amateur skateboarding league.

This clarity thing,

it's brought me to a whole new level.

My skating...

Would you come Saturday?

Sure.

Ah, cool.

Ha ha!

Well, um,

I guess kitchenware?

That's where I used to keep it.

Hi.

Cher, can I talk

to you a minute?

Um, sure.

Look, I have been in agony

for the past week.

I can't believe

I went off the way I did.

No. I have been going

down a shame spiral.

I can't believe

I was so unsupportive

of your feelings for Josh.

You're entitled to your opinion.

I'm the tard here.

Cher, you've been nothing

but super-duper nice to me.

If it wasn't for me,

you wouldn't have liked Elton.

I'm so sorry, Tai.

I'm really sorry.

Oh, sh*t. Now I'm going

to go ahead and cry.

Let's never fight again, O.K.?

Next up, number 14,

Travis Birkenstock.

Woo! All right, Travis!

I had no idea

he was so motivated.

Oh, I did.

When I saw the sparks

between Tai and Travis,

I knew Josh was

out of the picture.

You look like Pippi Longstocking.

You look like Forrest Gump.

Who's Pippi Longstocking?

Uh, someone Mel Gibson

never played.

You're funny.

What happened to

the August 28th files?

Hmm? What?

Mel wanted them tonight.

There were twice as many.

He's going to go ballistic.

Where are they?

I think I checked them

for the September 3rd

conversations.

What?

Where'd you put them?

I divided them

into two piles.

I have to redo all that.

Are you some kind of idiot?

Hey, she didn't know.

She just set us back a day.

Who cares about

the September call?

I'm sorry.

Just forget it.

Just go back to the mall

or something.

What's your problem, man?

She didn't mean any harm.

I'll get killed

'cause she's a moron.

She's not a moron.

If you were paying attention,

it wouldn't have happened.

If you hadn't have been

playing footsie,

she wouldn't be bothering me.

What the hell are you talking about?

This is a multimillion dollar lawsuit,

not some excuse for puppy love.

We've worked

our butts off on this case!

Do whatever you want

with your butts.

I'm calling in sick.

Did I really ruin

Daddy's lawsuit?

No.

Of course not.

Well, did I set him back?

I mean, there's

so much work to be done,

and he can't afford

to lose that time.

Don't worry.

I'll take care of it.

Your father won't lose any time.

Can you imagine

the nerve of that guy?

I mean, making

you worry like that.

He's the one that screwed up.

Then he goes and blames us.

Imagine saying we were...

you know.

That's right. You've been

very dedicated to this case.

Yeah. Well, it was

a good learning experience.

At least for me.

I want to be a lawyer.

But you, I mean,

you don't need to be doing this.

Go out and have fun.

Go shopping.

You think that's all I do?

I'm just a ditz

with a credit card?

No, no.

That's not what I meant.

It's just... um...

Uh, th...

You're... young

and beautiful and...

And?

And, uh, well, what?

You think I'm beautiful?

Mmm... yeah, a little.

You know you're gorgeous,

all right?

And popular and, uh, and...

but this is not

why I come here.

This is a good

learning experience for me.

You already said that.

Mel. I want to help out Mel.

He's the only one

who cares about me.

That's not true.

He's not?

No.

Are you saying...

you care about me?

Josh.

Well, you can guess

what happened next.

As if!

I am only 16.

This is California, not Kentucky.

You may kiss the bride.

I know that

when I have my own wedding,

I want this, like,

whole, entire floral motif,

like, very floral garlands.

No, no, no.

When I get married,

I'll have a sailor dress,

but it will be a gown.

My bridesmaids

will wear sailor hats.

They're planning

our weddings already.

Could you all stop that

till death do us part

mumbo jumbo?

I'm completely buggin'.

I'm buggin' myself.

Girls, she's about

to throw the bouquet!

Come on!

We got a pool going to see

whose girl gets the bouquet.

It's up to $200.

It's in the bag.

All right, come on, girls.

Hey! Over here! Over here!

# Seems like without tenderness,

there's something missing?

# Tenderness?

- # Where is the?

- # Tenderness?

# Where is it?...?

# If I could see?

# Into your heart?

# Then would I know?

# Just where to start?

# 'Cause I'm lost?

# And I need to be found?

# Crazy as it sounds?

# I need you around?

# If I could stand?

# To be on my own?

# Then I would probably?

# Just leave you alone?

# But I'm gonna feel this way

till I'm 6 feet underground?

# Crazy as it sounds?

# I need you around?

# Turning?

# Tossing and turning?

# My love is burning me down?

# If I could change?

# One thing in this world?
