(music) Are you excited

by electric trains? (music)

(music) And kind of lonely

every time it rains? (music)

(music) To stare out

through your eyes (music)

(music) Would start revealing

all the things you're feeling (music)

(music) What's on your mind

when you hear a tune (music)

(music) Or ride a toy balloon? (music)

(music) I want to reach you (music)

(music) In every single way (music)

(music) I'd like to be you

(music) To put you back

on the track (music)

(music) When you go astray (music)

(music) I'd like to be you

ANNABEL:

You're not gonna believe me.

Nobody in their right minds

could believe me.

But it's true.

Really, it is.

At exactly 8:
15 this morning...

No, wait.

Let me start back further.

My name is Annabel Andrews.

This is my room.

I like it this way.

You don't have to look

for anything.

[Alarm buzzing]

MAN:

Good morning.

It's Friday the 13th.

Ready?

ANNABEL:

No way.

And this is me.

Born in Mountview Hospital

Give or take a month.

Female, blond.

Natural, of course.

Blue eyes.

Height about 5'2".

I don't remember what I weigh,

but I'm watching it.

Which my mother says

is ridiculous

because I'm not mature

in my figure yet.

Mmm...

Maybe by summer, though.

[Sighs]

Gross.

I have one little brother.

Look at him.

Gorgeous hair,

gorgeous teeth,

gorgeous eyes,

gorgeous eyelashes.

He's what you call neat.

Not neat terrific.

Neat neat.

He is so neat it's revolting.

He only does it to show me up.

A goody-goody, you know?

A perfect person and a creep.

His name is Ben,

but I call him...

Ape Face!

Will you get out of here?

Don't come busting in

without knocking.

It's time for breakfast.

So? Come on, beat it.

Get out of here.

I am.

You'll be late for school.

So what do I care?

Actually, I care.

I mean, school is okay.

I got friends, sports.

Yesterday I was made captain

for today's playoff game.

Kind of neat, huh?

I'm also pretty good on water.

We got a super water-ski club.

And we're gonna put on

a real aquacade for my dad.

Oh, yeah, about my parents.

William Waring Andrews.

Well, 5' 11. 5".

The hair's too short,

but I've seen worse.

All in all,

a fantastically cool person.

(music) My, oh, my

what a wonderful... (music)

He's with Joffert and Jennings.

Public relations.

And the most beautiful person

in the world.

Almost.

That's Boris Harris.

What a fox!

I mean, he's really

something else.

Mm-hmm.

Unfortunately,

ever since a little incident

that happened a while ago,

Boris leaves me alone.

ELLEN:

Annabel!

Time!

Which is more than I can say

for her.

Mom and I haven't been

hitting it off well.

It's not that

I don't love her. I do.

Why shouldn't I?

Everybody knows mothers

are sweet and kind

and lovely and gentle and...

Annabel!

And loud.

- [Yelps]

- Ahh!

Max, you big hamburger.

Annabel, where are you going?

I thought we had this

all out last night.

Who? Me?

I'm not very hungry.

I don't go for that

eggs and bacon stuff.

I want you to be healthy.

That's all, Annabel.

I'm gonna grow up

and be a blimp.

I'm already late.

What about your room?

Perfect.

And your bed?

That's made, right?

I forgot, Mom.

It just slipped through my mind.

I got a lot of things

to think about.

Mmm.

Annabel,

I don't want to be preachy.

But childhood is the best time

in a person's life.

Sure. I'm all for it.

But I got a lot of worries.

Name one.

Just one.

All right.

Worry number one.

I'm late to meet Virginia.

Wish me luck.

Bye-bye.

Bye. Good luck.

Good luck to me, too.

Annabel.

Wait a minute.

Annabel!

Don't forget the orthodontist!

Don't forget the aquacade!

How much you

want to bet she does?

- Forget the aquacade?

- Forgets the orthodontist.

It'll serve her right.

Today Dr. Basinger's

gonna take her braces off.

It was gonna be a surprise.

You think I should've told her?

About the aquacade?

Oh, Bill, honestly.

What do you think of this?

What?

"Friends, respected clients,

and future developers,

we are, indeed, honored

that you could be present

for this formal announcement

of our luxurious,

new Oceana Marina."

It's good.

I don't think the name is good.

It should be

the Isle of Whispering Winds.

- It's interesting.

- Helen, please.

No more help.

You just show up

looking beautiful, as usual.

I'll take care of the rest.

Certainly.

Turkey, where you been?

Where have I been?

I've been waiting for hours.

You and me both, kid.

Give me the usual

and shake the lead out.

Well, I got quiz number 2A

about my room.

It's my room.

I should be able to keep it

the way I want to.

All due to

the extraordinary efforts

of this brilliant...

- ingenious...

- Revolting.

I'm afraid that's

not complimentary enough

to the developer, my dear.

Nothing very complimentary

could be said about Annabel.

[Sighs] No wonder they

call it "the terrible teens."

Have you seen

how she dresses lately?

Without her, I don't have

a water show this afternoon.

Would you like to know where

I have to go this afternoon?

To see Mr. Dilk,

the principal at school.

He's asked for a conference

to discuss Annabel's

lack of academic progress.

What do you think of that?

I'm sure

you can handle it, dear.

I'm up to my neck in this.

Thank you.

She's not gonna let me go

to Hilary's.

She says she knows all we do

there is kissing games.

She's also on my back

to get my hair trimmed.

Last time it was trimmed,

they hacked 6 inches off.

I try to be cool, right?

Parents seem to be immune to it.

Sometimes I blow my top.

Yesterday I said to her,

"What are you trying to do?

Change my image?"

She said, "I wouldn't know

where to start."

Chuckle, chuckle.

That's funny.

VIRGINIA:

If it's any comfort to you,
