Moving Page #2

you're the man who does--

where is he?

Hi. Gary Marcus.

Heard nothing but

great things about you.

Welcome to G.T.I.

Have you been

filling in our friend?

Well, yeah,

I was just about to.

Um, here, Arlo.

Take a look at this.

We call it

the phase one shuttle.

It's a fully automated

monorail commuter train,

the fastest, most advanced

train in the world.

180 Miles an hour.

Who's gonna drive

this thing, my wife?

Arlo,

we want you to head

our research and

development division.

You'll have

complete autonomy.

You can set your own staff,

set your own schedule,

whatever you want.

Let's be

perfectly Frank, Arlo.

I'm sure there

are a number

of other offers

that you're considering.

Mmm...

Arlo, we know what you

were getting at Metro,

and this job pays

20,000 more.

We'll treat you

like a king.

Full staff,

secretaries.

Stock options,

profit sharing.

Expense accounts,

state-of-the-art equipment.

Arlo, whatever you want,

you got it.

I personally

guarantee it.

How's that sound?

Terrific. Well,

I guess the first thing

on the agenda

is we gotta

get him out there

as soon as possible.

Out there?

Didn't someone

talk about this?

Well, no, I...

Well, it was probably

just an oversight.

Arlo, the job

is in Boise.

Boise.

Great.

Idaho.

Idaho.

Great.

That's where

we're headquartered.

That's where the prototype

for the shuttle is.

Simon:
Oh, we'll do

everything that we can.

Your wife

is gonna love it.

We'll fly both of you

out there next week,

help you find a home, huh?

Arlo, I lived

in Idaho all my life.

It's beautiful country.

Great fishing.

Do you like

the outdoors?

Is it outdoors?

Well...

This is a big decision.

Maybe you wanna go home

and talk it over

with the wife and family.

Monica:
Come on, case.

I already bought you

a ticket.

No, mom, I'm sorry.

I can't come hear you sing.

I've made other plans.

Marshall:
Other plans

with Kevin?

We saw what you and Kevin

were doing last night.

Both:

Casey:
Shut up.

Shut up!

Dad, will you please

tell them to shut up?

Well, why don't you

invite Kevin?

Oh, right, mom.

That's a fun date,

to bring my boyfriend

to hear my mother sing soprano?

I don't think so.

Darling...

These potatoes

are delicious.

Thank you, sweetie.

Um, do you have enough?

You know...

Kevin just might

enjoy it.

No, mom.

Are these Idaho potatoes?

I don't know, Arlo.

I bet they are. I bet

these are Idaho potatoes.

I know.

Why don't you tape it,

and I'll listen to it later.

It's the country's

leading producer

of silver, you know.

Monica:
What is?

I'm sorry. I thought we

were talking about Idaho.

Dad, are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

But I read an article

this afternoon,

about Idaho,

our 43rd state,

the gem state.

Which, by the way, is where

Whitney Houston was born.

No, she wasn't.

She was born right here,

in New Jersey.

Well, she sang so good,

you'd think she was

born in Idaho.

What's going on here?

Arlo...

You got a job!

Maybe.

With who, the Idaho

tourist bureau?

No. I'd be honored

if it were, but, ahem...

It's this company

called G.T.I. Transit.

It's a new opportunity,

a big raise.

Well, there's more.

What is it?

Well, I didn't

tell them yes.

Well, what is it?

I didn't tell them yes.

Well, what?

It's

in Boise, Idaho.

Boise--did you say

Boise, Idaho?

No way!

Boise!

Arlo, come on, now.

That's not fair!

You promised me!

No way. There's no way.

No way I'm moving.

The phone hasn't been

ringing off the hook,

ladies and gentlemen.

You can commute.

To Idaho?

Baby, it's 2,000 Miles.

It's not fair.

This is my last year

of school.

I have Kevin here

and all my friends.

I know, baby,

but it's not that easy.

Well, there's no way

I'm moving.

No f***ing way!

Wait a minute!

That's a quarter in

the swear jar, young lady.

Fine.

25 cents in the swear jar?

Here's $1.00, dad.

Because there's no goddamn way

I'm goddamn movin'

to any son-of-a-b*tch,

sh*t-eating,

goddamn-Ida,

goddamn, shitty-ho!

That's...

Leave the room.

Arlo:
Well, you guys,

don't you want dessert?

Both:
Oh, yeah!

Now!

Wait a minute. I helped

you guys last week.

Cowards!

I love this house.

Arlo:
So do I.

I love this town.

I love our friends.

I don't wanna move.

I don't wanna move,

either, baby,

but things change.

You could always work

for my father.

I'm sure that offer's

still good.

Making mustard.

But you wouldn't be

making mustard.

You'd be

supervising people.

Who are making mustard.

I am a transportation

engineer.

That's what I do.

That's what I do.

This job offer out there...

It's a good job, huh?

Once in a lifetime.

I can't believe

I'm moving again.

No, not this time.

I'm gonna take care

of everything.

If they kiss,

we're dead.

You swear?

That's it.

We're moving.

Arlo:
All right, ladies

and gentlemen, listen up.

We're gonna take

it from the top,

and this time, I want

some feeling in it, ok?

Operation Idaho.

5 weeks to go,

and what's the plan?

All:
We sell the house

for as much as we can.

And what do we do

with 4 weeks to go?

Buy a new house in Idaho.

3 weeks to go,

what do you say?

Clean up the attic

and throw stuff away.

2 weeks to go,

and the big yard sale...

Arrange with the mailman

to forward the mail!

One week to go,

and what's the job?

Hire somebody

to drive the Saab!

Moving day, and we're

out of Jersey!

We're gonna start a new life

in a town called Boise!

Great! That was excellent!

Hey, case. Fries

or onion rings?

Fries.

Have you told him yet?

No!

Why not?

Because I'm not moving.

What do you mean?

I mean I'm not moving.

Even if I have to

kill someone.

Where did you

get him, coach?

It ain't over

till it's over.

Come on, Freddy, go!

One more lap!

Come on,

let's go, Randy!

One more lap, baby!

You can do it!

You've done it before!

Let's go!

I can't believe

you're leaving me!

Woman:
As you can see,

the entire house

is very sunny.

It's wonderful

for plants.

Philip, wouldn't

our brown couch

look good in here?

Uh-huh, and, honey,

look at the paneling.

And here are the 2

downstairs bedrooms.

Sounds like

they like it.

If they make an offer,

let me do the talking.

Don't even nod your head.

I'll handle everything.

Ok.

Aah! Oh, my God! Aah!

Oh, my God!

What the hell?

Where's Casey?

Ohh, stop...

Stop what?

Stop me.

What's this?

Oh, I was just doing

some work around the house.

Monica:
You'll love

the kitchen.

It has all the

top-of-the-line appliances.

Oh, this is our stove.

It has the grill and a fan

with a downdraft.

It's great.

And over here, this operates

the garbage disposal.

Arlo:
What--

Ohh!

Casey!

Casey!

Here they are!

Is that

a working fireplace?

Yes, it is.

We use it all winter.

Very nice, very nice.

This would

be perfect for us.

Well, I'm glad

you like it.

Why don't you

come outside here?

I'll show you

the barbecue--

um, uh, where

does this go?

Oh, it's

just a basement.

You've seen one,
