Mow?

Cut? Cut. Cut, cut, cut.

Cut, cut...

Ah, si, cut. Cut, cut,

Muy bien.

Oh, I just love talking Spanish.

Terry, guess what? They're goin

away for a whole weekend.

Now if I can only get rid

of Manual and Maria...

You make it sound like

a murder mystery.

Just give them the weekend off?

Great idea. Now why

didn't I think of that?

- Terry, you have to talk to me.

- Go away, it's over!

- Are you and this kid getting on?

- Get lost, you creep!

You stay out of this.

Terry, I love you. You

know you are the only one.

- Bugger off.

- Drop dead.

- Please leave us alone.

- Us? You two are making it.

- What if we are?

- I can't believe it.

Well, it's true. And he is

ten times the lover you are!

I'll kill you!

My baby. My baby.

My baby.

Thank God he's all right.

All right. Common now, let's pull

him out, it's such a beautiful day.

Raphael, would you put

those things in the trunk.

Darling, his name is Manuel.

Dear, what's the difference.

Raphael, Manuel, all right?

Keep your eye on the ball.

I love you... be a good boy.

Thank you, honey.

- Have a good time.

- Thank you.

No, no, that's it Raphael.

Put those down.

All right, son, It's all yours

now... Hold the fort.

Thanks dad.

Hey, Manuel, can I speak

to you for a second?

Si Senor.

Why not you and Maria

take the weekend off.

Come on, Manuel, knock it off.

I know you and Maria

speak perfect English.

How long have you known?

Couple of years.

It's all right.

Your secret safe with me.

Just take the weekend

off yourselves.

We will.

And, Bobby, gracias.

Hmmm, Bobby, you're wonderful.

Bobby. How long can

you keep that up.

As long as I want.

Billy, I don't see why we can't go

back to the whorehouse tonight.

Are you kidding?

You whacked all their stuff.

They'd shoot you on sight.

Picky, picky, picky.

There's always Mexico.

They could march you

right down main streets

to get ten dollar bill in your

teeth and your problem over.

No. I am not going to

Mexico No way Jose.

Mexico!

- Bobby.

- Hmmm.

What do you think your parents would

say if they could see us, right now.

They don't say anything.

I think they just hear the sounds.

Do you think, they suspect anything.

- No. I doubt it.

- Phew. That's good.

Because, some day I may have to ask

them for a reference, you know.

- I'll give you one hell of a reference.

- I'm sure you would.

That's not going to help

me in teaching work.

Why you don't come

to collage with me.

I'm sure there's going to be a lot of

subjects I'm going to have trouble with.

I only teach French.

Maybe I can major in French.

Who knows? If I study hard enough.

I could become a Frenchman.

Nope, after the summer

the tutoring stops.

All the tutoring?

Yes.

Don't say anymore...

Where's the wine?

So, Bobby,

Terry tells me that you have a heavy

crammed session this weekend.

Oh we have.

And you're ready for

the exam tomorrow?

I'm sure I'm dad.

I'm really happy about

your dedication Bobby.

- Dad. I've been thinking.

- Hmmmm.

What if I didn't go to Yale.

What if I went to UCLA instead.

All my friends are

goin there and...

Bobby, there isn't any

ambition among your friends.

You're going to go to Yale and

make something of yourself.

But UCLA has a terrific

astronomy department...

Bobby, looking through a telescope, it's

my idea of how to become successful.

No, but it's a good way

to become an astronomer.

That's quite enough,

Bobby. I know...

it's gonna be tough at Yale. But

it's only under pressure that you

find out what you're really made of.

It's going to make a man

out of you. Really.

So stiffen your resolve.

A good education is vital for

getting somewhere in this world.

Let's not hear any more

talk about U.C.L.A.

or stargazing. Understand?

- Sure, Dad. No more star gazing.

- Drink your milk.

To Finish. Je finis, tu finis il finit

nous finissons vous finissez...

Et finis. You're ready.

No, no, Bobby.

Hey, come on, I'm tense.

I got to relax. Big

gain tomorrow you know.

See, that's just the point.

I don't want you to

do a scoring in bed.

Now should you to get up...

come on...

Get a good night's sleep and

the score on your exam.

And then?

And then, we'll see.

What happened? What did you get?

Oh, Bobby tell me.

Ninety one.

Ninety-one!

Oh, that's great, ninety one.

Ninety one.

- Let's keep going.

- You're crazy.

No, I mean it. Let's go

San Francisco. I've got money.

We can't go to San Francisco.

Sure we can. Hey, I'm packing

a 132 dollars and 45 cents.

I already got

reservation in Carmel.

Bobby, you gotta go back.

Too serious huh?

I just want to be alone with you

for a couple of days. That's all.

Is that so serious?

People do it all the time.

I've to get back to

the house. I have

a lot of loose ends to

tie up before I go.

Go? Go where?

I'm going to visit

my family in France.

France?

You haven't told me anything about

France. When did this come about.

I made the reservations last

week and I'm leaving tomorrow.

You going to France?

You never told you gone leave me?

Bobby, I'm not leaving you.

I'm going away, that's all.

- Same difference.

- No. No.

It's a very big difference.

Yeah. Either way you're leaving me.

Bobby, may I see you

for moment please?

Congratulations.

The school just called.

I'm very proud of you.

Thanks dad.

I now have the

bittersweet obligation

of having to pay

Miss Green that bonus of

ten thousand dollars.

Terry gets a ten thousand

dollar bonus because I passed?

She didn't tell you?

Maybe that's why she gave you

such special attention all summer.

People don't always do things

for best of motives, do they.

Bobby, sit down.

There's more I want to say to you.

That's okay. You said quite enough.

- Listen to me.

- No! You listen to me.

All my life I've been

listening to you.

Now I've got something

I want to say.

Drop it.

I'm going to UCLA this

fall, to stargaze.

That's where you'll find me.

Bobby, what happened?

What did he say?

Is it true that you get Ten

thousand dollars Because I passed.

That was your father's idea.

He insisted on it..

Not that you objected.

That's how you got the

ticket to France, right?

Yes, But... it has...

- Why didn't you tell me?

- Because It has nothing to do with it.

Like hell it doesn't.

God, I should have seen

this coming all along.

Why didn't you just talk to

me at the beginning, huh?

How you could've made some kind

of arrangement. Like hooker!

How could you say that to me?

Bonnie.

Bobby, what are you doing here?

Bonnie, I have to talk with you.

All right, I'll be right out.

What's up?

Bonnie...

Will you go to the movies

with me on Saturday night?

Bobby, you came over here at

two o' clock in the morning

to ask me for the movies?

What do you expect

me to do, telephone?

Yeah, that's the way

guys usually do it.

- But the problem is I promised Biff...

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…
