Of course I'm sure. I wouldn't

ball that lamb even for money!

Thank you!

Hay, was it as good as I said?

Did I cover you or what?

Let's go. Come on.

Okay, here you go.

Try these, fifteen minutes.

Starting... now.

Bobby, get to work.

Okay

I'm going to go get a drink.

Do you want anything?

- No thanks.

- Ok, I'll be right back.

Bobby, where are you?

Oh, boy. No work?

I can't leave you

alone for a second.

Here. It looks like

you could use this.

Thanks.

Okay, get to work.

It's too hot.

Bobby, will you just

do the test, please.

It's really way too hot...

- Now that's better.

- I take it this is a study break?

Great idea.

I'm glad you thought of it.

All right then. Teacher

gets to take a break too.

Where did you learn to

speak French so well?

I went to college in France.

I knew it. Nobody can learn to

speak French in California.

Spanish, maybe. French, no way.

- I should've taken Spanish.

- Why didn't you?

My Dad thought it was a good idea.

He wants me to study

international law at Yale.

Oh yeah? You do everything

your father wants you to do?

No. Not always.

If I had my way I'd go to

UCLA and study astronomy.

I'm sorry...

But you know I'm not hired here as a

guidance counselor. And no matter...

what school you go to you'll need

to pass that test, so please.

How old are you?

- Would you stop stalling?

- Forty?

- Forty-five? Twenty-five?

- Twenty nine.

- Have you been married?

- No.

Engaged?

- Yes and no.

- You lived with a guy, right?

- This last guy you just broke up with, huh?

- Bobby,

I wish you were as good at French

as you are at Twenty Questions.

Vingt questions.

Tres bien. Get to work.

You pervert

I promised her a ride home..

Well, how are things going

between you and your tutor?

Okay.

Have you tried to

score with her yet?

Come on, Jack, what

are you kidding?

I know I would've

scored with her by now.

Just you and her...

Alone, by the pool...

Yeah, I would've been there

and beck a few times by now.

Jack, you don't believe

your own bullshit, do you?

And I'm going to hit

the ceiling tonight.

- It's only an eighty.

- Hey, come on,

an eighty up from a fifty seven

is pretty good for two week.

Yeah, but you've to get five

points if it was the real test.

No backing out now.

You promised a celebration

lunch if I even broke seventy.

- You had this planned.

- Of course.

Not only lunch but now you

have the rare opportunity

to practice your new

vocabulary under fire.

Great.

Now, I'm going to teach you a skill

that all young men should know.

What's that?

- The art of tasting wine.

- Sounds vital.

It's where you can impress all the

girls before you seduce them.

Now it sounds life or death.

First thing you do is...

sniff the bouquet.

Then you take a healthy sip, and

you move it around your mouth

so that the tongue can test

it from all sides. Like so.

You're not supposed to gargle,

Can't take you anywhere.

So, Cindy, put through all

my calls to Le Rendezvous.

I'm trying to close the condo deal.

Be very careful. She's an

absolutely flawless classic.

Yes, sir.

Not a scratch. Okay, my man?

Right, sir.

Pierre, how are you?

My table over here?

Roger hi. Ed.

Oh, no. Anything but this.

Where have you been?

Why did you disappear?

Why haven't you called me?

I've been looking for you for weeks.

Why do you want me to

say this again? It's over.

It can't be over. You just get up

and walked out. Not a word, nothing.

I don't know what you want me

to say, It's just not fair!

Fair? One day you're living

with me and the next day

you disappear without a goodbye.

And you're talking about fair?

Monsieur Sylvester. There is

a telephone call for you.

I'll call back.

But your secretary says

it is an emergency.

Yes Cindy, put him through.

Hello, Sid...

I just talked with Miller and if you

want those condos they'll cost you

two hundred K a piece..

I love you, Terry.

Forget what happened.

That's over, honey. I can change.

Sid, the price is right.

He'll take one third down.

The terms are terrific.

- Yeah, that's right.

- Let's go.

No problem. Wait, Terry don't go.

I said I love you. Doesn't

that mean anything?

I wanna be with you!

I wanna be with you forever!

How can you turn down

an offer like that?

You'll be turning over a half million

profit in eighteen months, goddamnit.

Would you just wait a

second, Terry? Talk to me.

No, not you, Sid. Is your name

Terry, for Christ sakes?

Goddammit, Sid. Just

take the bloody deal.

Would you just talk to me? I can't

keep this up, I gave up jogging.

Who is this kid? Are you

teaching nursery school or what?

Nice night for a stroll, huh, Bobby.

I couldn't sleep...

I had my telescope out.

You shouldn't spy on people.

It's not fair.

Bobby? Would you look at me.

It's okay. Just no more spying.

Is that understood?

Okay. Go to bed.

Well, this way boys, over there. Oh

this is gonna look wonderful today.

Yes there is the place.

No, no... no... no I like it better

over there. Yes, that's it.

Yes, definitely over there.

No, wait please.

I think I like it where we tried

it the first time. Right here.

What do you think?

Oh, it's so hard to decide

without setting it all up.

It takes an hour to set

this tent up ma'am.

An hour?

Is that all?

Well maybe we could set it up

in all the places I picked.

What do you think?

- Hi mom. Where's Terry?

- Hi honey.

She went for a drive. She said

she'll be back for your lesson.

- A drive? With who?

- A man.

Honey, you know that tent we

have for your birthday...

Where do you think

we should set it up?

Over there... Over there...

Or over here?

- I think it looks fine, right here.

- Oh, fine.

Thank you honey. Ok boys.

Set it up. Right here.

Wait!... I am not sure.

Where were you?

- You're late.

- Not that late.

Hey, sport. Don't get

so bent out of shape.

I guess you and I got off on the

wrong foot. I'm Don Sylvester.

You know you almost made me

wrap my bike around that pole.

I'm sorry about that.

I was a desperate

man, though Bobby.

I couldn't let my girl get away

without a chase now, could I?

Well, I gotta go.

- Study time? You know?

- I'll be right there.

All right. Here you are.

Come on Bobby, what's that long

face, huh? Can you fetch us a smile?

Yeah, we got in this picture at

6:
05 and there's not a blonde here.

This'll never work, Billy.

Trust me and ye shall be delivered.

Look, the guy at the door

is a friend of mine.

These are just for show.

I've got you covered, huh?

Wonderful.

Bobby, you look like

you're going to a funeral.

What's the matter?

- Nothing. Let's go.

- All right. Common.

Oh sh*t! Duane's not here tonight

Billy, this will never do!

This will never do!

Too late now. Go for it!

Hey Blood! What's happenin', man?

All right, all right!

Please blood, please!

Don, it's Terry. Don?

And stay out, punks!

What the hell's wrong

with you, guys?

You're nuts to go

jump into that ring!

Joe Roberts

Joe Roberts (February 2, 1871 – October 28, 1923) was an American comic actor, who appeared in 16 of Buster Keaton's 19 silent short films of the 1920s. "Big Joe" Roberts, as he was known in vaudeville, toured the country with his first wife, Lillian Stuart Roberts, as part of a rowdy act known as Roberts, Hays, and Roberts. Their signature routine was called "The Cowboy, the Swell and the Lady." At this time, in the first decade of the twentieth century, Buster Keaton's father, Joe Keaton, had started a summer Actors' Colony for vaudevillians between Lake Michigan and Muskegon Lake in Michigan. Roberts became acquainted with the Keaton family as a member of this community.When Buster Keaton's film apprenticeship years with Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle came to an end, and Keaton began making his own shorts in 1920, he asked Roberts to join him. Roberts' hefty 6 ft 3 in (191 cm) frame, usually playing a menacing heavy or authority figure, made a striking and amusing contrast to the thin, 5 ft 6 in (168 cm) Keaton. IMDB shows that Roberts made only two films without Keaton. He played the role of "Roaring Bill" Rivers in 1922's The Primitive Lover, starring Constance Talmadge—Keaton's sister-in-law—and the silent film actor Harrison Ford; and a drill master in the Clyde Cook comedy The Misfit, released in March 1924, after Roberts' death. When Keaton began making feature films in 1923, he apparently intended to continue working with Roberts. Roberts had roles in Keaton's Three Ages and Our Hospitality (both 1923). During the filming of the second feature, Roberts had a stroke but insisted on returning to the set to finish the film. After completion, Roberts suffered another stroke and died shortly thereafter. more…
