You don't have to wear it.

Your teeth.

Don't you like your new teeth?

Not the way I look.

I was talking about

the way I am.

I am so much smarter

than I thought.

And so much dumber.

Oh, my darling, aren't we all?

Oh, Annabel.

Your family is

a bunch of comedians.

That's one of the funniest

shows I have ever seen.

Yeah.

I guess it was, wasn't it?

You bet it was.

No way to top it.

Right, Jennings?

I think we should have held out

for professional...

[Laughter]

That doesn't quite

explain it for me, Ellen.

I don't quite understand

how you got on the kite.

Darling, all's well

that ends well.

Yeah, but that doesn't...

- You look great, Annabel.

- Thanks.

Yeah, you're not the same way

you used to be at all.

Is that good or bad?

Well, no.

What I mean is,

you're a completely

different person.

Well, maybe not completely yet,

but I'm working on it.

ELLEN:

Stew, stew, stew.

You're being less

than direct with me.

I'm a little worried

about your mom.

She's acting kind of weird.

You don't think she's what they

call a bad seed, do you?

Well, I think

you'll be noticing

some changes in her, too.

I like a more level-headed

woman like you.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, I think I know

what you mean, Boris.

Where are you guys all going?

We're gonna get some pizza.

Oh.

You want to go with us?

Me? Really, me?

Really. Come on.

Oh, man.

[Chuckles]

Ellen, what I saw you do today

was impossible.

How can you sit there?

We're gonna go get some pizza.

Anybody want any?

I can't get a straight answer.

Would you explain

what happened today?

Please, will you?

Look, did I or did I not

force you into the water?

Well, yes and no.

[Chuckles]

Great.

You're just like your mother.

- Thanks.

- Thanks.

Mom, Boris and I are gonna go

to the beach tomorrow.

Can you drop us off?

Sure.

That's very nice.

I could do it.

I've got to get started

on my motorcycle campaign.

What am I gonna do

while everyone is busy?

Tomorrow's Saturday.

You ice-skate, right?

I hate ice-skating.

My feet get cold,

and my ankles hurt.

When I was a boy,

I used to love ice-skating.

You get all the fun stuff

to do, Dad,

like kiteflyers

and ride motorcycles.

As long as we're comparing,

I'd like to be in your shoes.

And I'd rather be you.

Bill, I wouldn't pursue

this any further if I were you.

You would not want to change

places with Ben, believe me.

Yeah, you don't want to change

places with Dad over there.

- Oh, yes, I do!

- Oh, yes, I do!

Help!
