I know. I'm excited though.I can see it all happening.

A little turn...

Now side to side.

Other people can sing.

Can we talk out herefor a minute?

She's fantastic.

What are youtalking about?

I think she sings funny.

And her dancing's notall that great either.

That's the first timeshe did it, okay?

Yeah, but I hadall the kits by then.

Because she didn'ttake the kettle,

so I was stuck.

Do you want me totake the kettle, Samuel?

No, I don't.I just want Kathy

to put it over here.This is, you know...

If you say these words,and then, boom,

you just putyour hands out,

and there they are.They're there.

Please don'tdrop the props, Kathy.

Wait, wait.

Why are you putting iton her head, though?

I'm a little confused.

I don't know.It was, uh...

Because she's notgoing to pick it up.

It looks likeyou're trying to...

put a hat on her heador something.

You're fantastic.

You just have to listento your heart, Cvalda.

I don't want youto call me Cvalda.

Okay, Paul, please.

You're Cvaldato me.

In your little head.

This is my punishment,

that you help me with this.

And you've got...

You've got to makeyour bed as well.

And you forgotto wrap up the bread.

Two times.

There's no more of that.

You keep reading.

"So long, farewell,

auf... wiedersehen...

adieu, adieu, adieu,

to yieu and yieu and yieu."

"To yieu...

and yieu..."

What does that mean,

"yieu"?

It's your dumb musical.

"And yieu..."

It's German.

- You think?- Mm.

You wantsome more ketchup?

No.

Are you tired?

Why--why should you...

always ask me so...

so stupid questions?

Shall I show youmy step?

Oh, hi.Hi, Gene.

How's the dancing?

Oh... good.

- Yeah?- Yeah, Yeah.

You want to come overto me and Bill's place

and listento some music?

That--thatwould be lovely.

But... we couldn't.

Come on.Come on.

Yeah... uh...

Let's go.Come on.

You should ask Billabout his money.

Linda likes it whenwe talk about that.

You're doinga very nice job with these.

How about that?

You have to bevery careful

not to bendthe card.

Uh-huh.

Otherwise I don'tget paid for it.

No.

That's fair,because...

the people in the shopswould never want to buy it

if it's bent.

You wouldn't buy itif it was bent.

That's true,I wouldn't.

Wouldn't buy anythingif it was bent.

In Czechoslovakia,

I saw a film,

and they were eating candyfrom a tin

just like this.

No.

I thought to myself...

how wonderful it must be

in the United States.

Yeah?

You think my houselooks like a movie?

Oh, our houselooks like a movie.

And you looklike a movie star.

Bill gives mea lot of money.

You know?

I know.

Of course, it's allthat money you inherited,

isn't it, Bill?

That's right.

Hey, Selma...

Take the restwith you.

Are you sure?

Go on.

Hello.

Good morning.

I've got the rent.

Oh.

You always payright on time.

Don't worry about Gene.I'll get him off to school,

okay?

Thank you.

Thanks very much.

Remember your bag.

Bye-bye.

Bye.

I think you're alwaysso serious, Kathy.

Aw... again we start.

I don't think insideyou're serious at all.

I don't know.

Not always.

Cvalda.

Why do youcall me that?

It's like...someone who's...

I don't know,just big and happy.

I am not that big.

Happy?I don't know.

Just need someoneto pull it out.

Beautiful eyes.

Yeah.

But he's notreal happy, is he?

How is she doing?

It's when shecannot keep up,

and she's going to faint.

Ah, she fainted.

Please be quiet.

Oh, give us a break.

She doesn't seethat well.

I paid good moneyto see this film.

Well, so did she.

I love itwhen they dance.

For Pete's sake,it's a musical.

Of course they're dancing!

We know that!

Oh, you're so smart.

- Yes.- Oh.

I think you madefriends, Kathy.

Stop!

So, what'd she say?

What?

What did she say?

She didn't sayanything.

Are you trying totell me something?

It's about the bike.

The bike?

Mm, the bike.

Oh, um, l--I--

I cannotgive Gene a bike.

Is this his idea?

No, it's not his idea.

Gene?

No, he didn't.It doesn't...

He doesn't know anything,Selma. Frankly.

Why, have Idone something?

No.

I haven't gotthe money.

But... I'm almostthe only kid in class

who doesn't havea bike.

I even know a boywho's got a scooter.

You know I haven't gotany money.

The only extra money I got

the times I managedto save up,

I send it...

to Grandpa.

expensive things.

Your motheris only teasing.

Look what she'sbrought for you!

It's a bike!

We cannotaccept that.

Selma, it was second-hand.

I can't give himany expensive things.

- Yeah, but--- I can't even give it

for his birthday.

- Yeah, but, well--- He's just gonna accept that.

I'm not that sort of mom.

I'm--I'm--

I'm just not that kindof mother, Gene. I...

Can't you be

that kindof a mother?

It's not exactly a scooter.

Hmm... We'll see.
