- How'd it go?

- [Dexter] Move over, Arno saw us!

But that's impossible.

He couldn't see you.

[Dexter] Will you come on? He's after us.

But I'll look silly sitting over here

all by myself.

[Schuylar] Will you get us out of here?

So you have the pictures,

but how do you expect to see Dean

Higgins in the condition you're in?

[Dexter] We're not gonna see him tonight.

We'll wait till tomorrow when we're

ourselves again.

[Debbie] If it's so important,

why don't you see him tonight?

[Dexter] Because he's not here.

He's up at the Friendly Sons

of the Forest Convention in Riverton.

The kids in that car can hear you.

[Dexter] Just play it like nothing's wrong.

It'll be okay.

Hi, gang.

The zoning laws of 1912?

Casinos?

Dog racing?

Medfield College, a gambling town?

If Arno's got plans like these,

he'll foreclose on that mortgage for sure.

I'll bet that's what he had

on his mind all the time.

There's always the Forsythe Award.

That's a pipe dream, Lufkin.

Medfield wasn't even invited.

They can't do that to us.

We have it all locked up.

I thought Druffle's bumble bee experiment

would open the eyes of the scientific world.

I wasn't talking about Druffle.

I was talking about me.

- You! What do you have?

- You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

- I'd have to show you.

- Show me!

I can't. I'd rather wait till the day

of the contest with Arno, and everything.

It's such a big discovery that if word got

out, there's no telling what might happen!

How could word get out?

Are you insinuating I'd shoot off my mouth?

No, sir. We're going to win the award.

We just want you to trust us, that's all.

Trust you? This college is going to be

taken over by a crook like Arno

and you want me to trust you,

you big lummox?

- Just a minute, don't start yelling at me.

- Take it easy.

I didn't want to be in on this

in the first place!

If we don't get into the contest,

we will lose the school.

Forsythe is staying at the Medfield Inn.

Why don't you give him a call?

I'll bet you can talk us right back

into the contest.

You think I could do it?

Sure, sir, you can handle that easily.

You can do that stuff really good.

I suppose I could do something,

as a matter of fact.

Winifred, would you get me Mr. Forsythe

at the Medfield Inn?

When you get right down to it,

there's no reason for him to ignore us.

It's not as though we were a hick school.

Besides I've got a pretty good reputation

in this part of the country.

[Winifred] Mr. Forsythe on the line.

Lufkin, grab the other phone and

see how these things are handled.

[Forsythe] Hello?

Hello, Mr. Forsythe.

This is Dean Higgins,

...from Medfield College.

Yeah, Higgins. Blasted!

I beg your pardon?

Nothing, I'm sorry.

I just missed a put I should've made.

You can't put unless

you really concentrate.

No, I've always said that.

- You're a golfer?

- Yes!

- He's no golfer.

- Good, what can I do for you?

It's about the Forsythe Award.

I'm sorry we're dropping

the smaller colleges this year.

Frankly, it just became

too much of a waste of time.

We're not a waste of time.

We're small but we have

an excellent science department.

Yes, I know, but...

If you would just give me a chance,

I would meet you anywhere, anytime.

Maybe I can fit you in.

I'm playing golf this morning at 10:00

with Collingsgood at Thunder Ridge.

Why don't you join us

and we can chat between holes?

Is that Dean Collingsgood from State?

Yeah, what's the matter?

Nothing. That'll be wonderful.

Okay, first tee, 10:00, balls in the air.

See you then.

Yes, I'll be there.

Thank you very much, Mr. Forsythe.

- I've got to go change.

- You're gonna play golf with Forsythe?

- What's the matter with that?

- You don't play golf.

Yes, I do. I played just yesterday

afternoon at Swenson's with Bertha.

Tough course, too. You gotta hit the ball up

a ramp and right through a little castle.

- That's miniature golf.

- It can't be that much different.

Don't worry about me.

Besides it's the only chance we've got.

Looks like we got our work

cut out for us today.

What do you mean?

I can handle the game,

but you better be his caddy.

- I may need some help out there.

- I don't know how to be a caddy.

That's all right. Dean Higgins

doesn't know how to play golf either.

[Forsythe] That's cutting into the ball,

Collingsgood.

- Good shot.

- I was hoping for a little more distance.

It was straight, anyway.

[Collingsgood] What a shot, Timothy!

I'll take it. You're up, Higgins.

We better do something.

Let's let him hit one and we'll see.

You don't have any little castles here,

I noticed.

Isn't that Dean Higgins down there?

I didn't know he played golf.

I don't think he does.

Maybe that was just a mistake.

Let's give him another chance.

He might be better than we think.

I guess I got under that one

a little too much. It went...

Just another swing,

I'll be out there with you fellas.

[Forsythe] That poor old man!

He's worse than we think.

Come on.

Hey, I might be able to use this.

Good luck.

- Are you all right, Mr. Reeves?

- Yes, I think so.

Boy, that fellow can sure hit a long ball.

That ball didn't come from over there.

It came from over there!

I don't know what happened there.

I just sort of hit the edge of the club.

No offense, but people are waiting to play

through. We don't want to hold them up.

Why don't you just take a nice,

hot shower and call it a day?

I'll do nothing of the sort.

I'm just getting warmed up.

Schuylar, which club do I use now?

In view of what I've seen so far,

I don't know what to tell you.

Of course you don't!

Just give me any club.

Next time, I'll pay $10

and get a real caddy.

Give me a second, gentlemen.

I'll knock it out there.

We'll be on our way.

Let's face it.

Higgins just isn't a golfer.

I could've told you that.

The man's an impostor. Always has been.

He has no more business

being on a golf course than...

Look!

That was a good one.

Remember that club.

Seems to break to the left.

Hurry up, will you?

We can't wait all day.

I want to get this put.

If I do, I'll get my par.

Great Scott!

It does break to the left.

Your shot, Collingsgood.

[Dexter] Now, watch this!

[Dexter] What's a nice ball like you

doing in a place like this?

We'll give them something

to talk about this time.

Perfect!

The farmer in the dell

The farmer in the dell

Hi-ho, the dairy-o,

The farmer in the dell

[laughs]

It's got to be around here some place.

Maybe it trickled up on the green.

Don't be silly.

You could see it if it did.

Besides, you can't hit

every ball on the green.

[Dexter] Schuylar, look in the hole.

- Huh?

- [Dexter] Look in the hole!

[Schuylar] Look in the hole.

Why didn't I think of that!

I'm gonna look in the hole.

Of course, in the hole.

There's no other place.

There's that little Dickens!

- That's amazing! Absolutely amazing!

- Isn't it?

If I didn't see it, I wouldn't believe it.

That Higgins is a golfing phenomenon.
