HEY,

AHH, I AM REALLY BEAT.

YA KNOW, YOU ALWAYS

JUST WATCH COMMERCIALS...

AND YOU NEVER, EVER THINK

HOW HARD IT IS TO MAKE THEM.

YOU WERE GREAT.

I WAS PROUD OF YA.

IN FACT, WHEN I WAS

WATCHIN' YA,

OF THIS TIME:

I WAS DOIN' THE SHOW

AND THIS, UM-

[Dance Rock]

HEY, LOUIE CAN YOU SEE

I COULDN'T LEAVE YOU

IF I TRIED HEY,

LOUIE LISTEN TO ME

WE'VE GOT A THING

HELLO, I'M MRS. GORDON.

ARE YOU MR. CHAPMAN?

YEAH, I AM.

AND I JUST WANNA

TELL YOU RIGHT NOW...

THAT WE'RE CLAIMIN'

SELF DEFENSE ON THIS ONE.

ANGELA, I'M NOT AMUSED.

[Whispering]

ANGELA!

I WANT YOU AND EVAN

TO WAIT OUTSIDE:

FOR A MINUTE, PLEASE.

AND NO HITTING.

I DIDN'T HIT HIM

THAT HARD!

SHE BROKE MY RETAINER.

YOU GOTTA JAB, BUDDY.

SHE'LL GET THA OVERHAND RIGHT IN.

THEY'RE SO CUTE AT THIS AGE,

AREN'T THEY?

WOULD YOU MIND TELLING ME

WHAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP

IS TO ANGELA?

UH, YEAH, SURE.

ANGIE... ANGELA, UH, IS DOING

A SERIES OF COMMERCIALS

FOR SUNBURST COOKIES...

AND, UH, I'M HER AGENT.

ALTHOUGH, RIGHT NOW,

I'M THINKIN' ABOUT BEIN'

HER BOXING PROMOTER.

THIS ISN'T FUNNY, MR. CHAPMAN.

PLEASE SIT DOWN.

[Sighs]

WE HAVE A VERY SERIOUS

PROBLEM HERE.

NOW, ANGELA

IS AN EXTREMELY BRIGHT GIRL,

BUT SHE'S ALSO VERY LONELY.

SHE EATS LUNCH BY HERSELF

EVERY DAY. SHE BARELY TALKS

TO THE OTHER CHILDREN.

NO KIDDING. I HAD NO IDEA.

THAT'S BECAUSE

SHE'S NOT VERY GOOD

AT EXPRESSING HER FEELINGS.

SHE EITHER RUNS AWAY

OR HITS.

SO, INSTEAD OF WRITING

A LOVE LETTER...

OR DRAWING LITTLE HEARTS

ON HER NOTEBOOKS

LIKE THE OTHER GIRLS,

SHE'S GOING TO GIVE EVAN

A CONCUSSION.

I... YOU MEAN, SHE, UH... HAS

A CRUSH ON HIM.

[Chuckles]

AND I KNOW IT'S VERY SWEET,

BUT... SHE'S FRIGHTENED AND

INSECURE AND NOT SURE

OF HOW TO BE WITH

OTHER CHILDREN.

SHE'S BECOME...

REALLY WITHDRAWN...

AND DIFFICULT SINCE HER

MOTHER PASSED AWAY.

LISTEN, UM, ARE YOU

SURE YOU WANNA BE

TALKIN' TO ME ABOUT THIS?

'CAUSE THIS... REALLY

ISN'T MY AREA.

FINE. YOU'RE THE ONE

SHE TOLD ME TO CALL.

BUT TELL ME, MR. CHAPMAN,

WHO SHOULD I BE TALKING TO?

WHERE IS MIKEY?

IT'S 8:
30.

I'M REALLY BEGINNING

TO GET WORRIED.

I HOPE HE'S NOT IN

ANY KIND OF TROUBLE.

I NEVER SHOULD HAVE

YELLED AT HIM.

NOW, IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT,

HELEN.

THE BOY LET THE:

DOG OUT OF THE YARD.

[Audience Laughing]

[Crying]

I MISS HIM.

WE ALL MISS MIKEY, HONEY.

I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE DOG!

[Audience Laughing]

MAYBE WE SHOULD CALL THE POLICE.

[Man]

YOU'RE RIGHT.

WHAT?

[Mikey]

MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE.

HOW COME:

YOU NEVER TOLD ME

ABOUT YOUR MOTHER?

I DON'T WANT TO TALK

ABOUT MY FAMILY, OKAY?

IT'S MY BUSINESS.

[Angie]

SINCE WHEN DOES ED

WANT TO SEE ME ON A WEEKEND?

I DON'T KNOW. HE JUS SAID IT WAS IMPORTANT.

WHAT TIME YOU GOT?

I DON'T KNOW.

WHY DON'T YOU GE A WATCH?

I HAVEN'T GOT TIME

TO GET A WATCH.

GET IT?

GET IT?

[Angie]

YO, BAMBI.

HEY, ANGIE.

HEY, MICHAEL.

WHAT'S SHAKIN'?

SURPRISE!

[Cheering]

SURPRISE!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

IT'S NOT MY BIRTHDAY.

I KNOW THAT.

I KNOW THAT.

BUT I THOUGHT YOU NEEDED

A PARTY, AND BESIDES THAT...

I THOUGHT IT WAS A PERFEC OPPORTUNITY TO MEET MR. RIGHT.

OH, MY GOD!

DEAR ANGIE:

ANGIE.

[Solo]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

SAVE IT, JUDY, SAVE IT.

ALL RIGHT.

[Sighing]

I SEE WHAT YOU LIKE

ABOUT THE GUY.

REALLY. HE'S CUTE.

HE'S POLITE.

WE KNOW HE CAN:

TAKE A PUNCH, RIGHT?

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DID THIS.

AH, WILL YOU JUST GO IN

AND TALK TO HIM?

COME ON, JUST... ASK HIM

WHAT HIS HOBBIES ARE.

TALK TO HIM ABOUT CLASS.

TELL HIM HIS TEETH ARE

REALLY STRAIGHTENING OUT.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

I TRY TO TALK TO HIM, CHAPMAN.

BUT HE WON'T EVEN LOOK AT ME.

I'M UGLY, THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

[Sighing]

YOU ARE NOT UGLY.

HEY, HEY, HEY,

YOU'RE NOT UGLY.

CAN YOU SAY THAT?

CAN YOU SAY,

I'M NOT UGLY?

SAY, "I'M NOT UGLY.

I'M NOT UGLY.

I'M NOT UGLY!"

I'M NOT UGLY.

WELL, YOU... THAT...

NOW THAT WAS UGLY.

SAY, "I'M NOT UGLY."

I'M NOT UGLY!

I'M NOT UGLY.

RIGHT. RIGHT.

[Door Opening]

HEY, BIRTHDAY GIRL!

LET ME BE THE FIRST TO SAY

YOU DON'T LOOK A DAY OVER TEN.

THIS IS JUST A SMALL TOKEN

OF MY AFFECTION.

AND THERE IS MORE

WHERE THAT CAME FROM.

NOW THAT IS UGLY.

ED?

HI.

HI!

ED, WE'VE BEEN MEANING

TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT JUDY.

SHE'S BEEN WITH YOU

FOR TWO YEARS NOW.

YEAH.

THAT'S A LOT OF

WASTED TALENT.

[Chuckles]

YOU KNOW, WE'D

REALLY LOVE TO:

SEE HER ON A SERIES.

OH, SO WOULD I. UM,

AS A MATTER OF FACT,

SOMEONE FROM NBC

JUST CALLED ABOUT JUDY

THE OTHER DAY.

DIDN'T THEY, GEENA?

NO. YES!

SO, YOU LIKE ACTING.

NOT REALLY.

IT'S KIND OF STUPID.

I THINK IT'S KIND OF COOL

THAT YOU'RE DOING IT.

ANGIE HAS TIME TO GO TO SCHOOL,

DO HER HOMEWORK AND MAKE

COMMERCIALS IN HER SPARE TIME.

DON'T LET HER GO.

DO YOU MIND?

EXCUSE ME.

SHAKE IT, GEORGE!

SHAKE IT, GEORGE!

HEY, HEY!

[Michael]

HEY, CAN I GET YOUR ATTENTION?

EVERYBODY LISTEN UP!

IN HONOR OF OUR BIRTHDAY GIRL,

I'VE MADE RESERVATIONS

FOR A VERY ELEGANT AFFAIR.

KIDS ONLY.

[Cheering]

BUT! BUT...

BUT I NEED YOU ALL TO BE

ON YOUR VERY BEST BEHAVIOR.

[Crowd Cheering]

THERE YOU GO,

TAKE THAT!

KILL THE LOBOTOMIZER!

KILL HIM!

KILL HIM!

WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE

THROW JUDY WASSERMAN

IN THE RING!

OH, SURE GEORGE!
