Never mind.
We'll stay in the damn cove.
With a tent on the banks
of the Golden Pond
We are the girls
from Camp Hoochicoya
You can tell who we are
By the gleam in our eyes
Oh, our minds are clear
And our hearts are strong
We are dancing here
But we won't be long
There will soon be deer
Where there now are fawns
But we'll remember our years
- On Golden Pond
- On Golden Pond
How!
Hey!
- Mommy.
- Oh!
How did you get here?
I rented a car...
a Volare, made by Plymouth.
- Oh, ho.
- Look at you.
My God. You've had this jacket
as long as I can remember.
- It looks it, doesn't it?
- It looks great.
How was your trip?
Oh, not bad.
How's the kid?
- You still got him, or did you drown him?
- We've still got him.
He's out there fishing
with his best buddy.
- You can see him.
- Where's the Thayer IV?
Charlie's fixing her.
Norman and Billy
tried to drive her...
through a rock
in Purgatory Cove.
- Did they get hurt?
- No.
Norman got a bump on the head
which he's playing to the hilt...
but he's all right.
They're both fine,
thank God.
Do you still have Bill,
or did you drown him?
Oh, I still have him.
He had to get back to the coast.
- He had a mouth that needed looking into.
- Ah.
So, Norman and Billy
have gotten along all right?
Oh, Billy is the happiest thing
that's happened to Norman since Roosevelt.
a 13-year-old boy years ago.
You could have
traded me in.
Except I think he probably
makes a better son than I did.
You made
a very nice daughter.
How come it's so easy?
What do you mean, darling?
Why wasn't that old son of a b*tch
ever my friend?
You're sounding very childish.
Of course he was your friend.
He's your father.
Chels, you're
such a nice person.
Can't you think
of something nice to say?
I married Bill
in Brussels.
You did what in Brussels?
I married Bill.
Does it count
in this country?
- Afraid so.
- Oh, bless you, darling.
- Congratulations.
- Nothin' to it.
Norman will be
so pleased.
Yeah, sure. What do you
suppose he's gonna say?
"Hey, Chels, fantastic!
I'm so happy that you finally
got your life together.
And I'm so proud."
- And he will be proud.
- No, he won't. No, he won't.
And you know why?
Because he doesn't care.
He is a selfish
son of a b*tch.
That old son of a b*tch
happens to be my husband.
Oh, sh*t!
Oh, sh*t!
Norman!
- Sh*t!
- Don't get so excited.
It's only a sunfish.
Only a sunfish?
You doubting the word
of a genius?
No respectable trout
in this cove.
Chased 'em out years ago.
Well, it's doing
a pretty good trout imitation.
Get the net!
Good God!
It's Walter!
What the hell
you doin' here, you son of a b*tch?
Oh! Keep that line
tight, boy!
Oh, you beauty.
Keep your line tight.
Keep reeling in.
Little closer. Little closer.
Oh, look at that!
- We caught Walter!
- We caught Walter, the son of a b*tch!
Chels? I brought
your sweater and your shoes.
- And your car's out front.
- I'm such an ass. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry too. But, darling,
you're wrong about your dad.
He does care.
He cares deeply.
It's just that he's an absolute mutt
about telling anyone.
I know he'd walk
through fire for me...
and he'd walk
through fire for you too.
And if you don't
understand that...
you're not
looking closely enough.
I don't even know him.
Chels, Norman
is 80 years old.
He has
heart palpitations...
and trouble
remembering things.
Just exactly when do you expect
this friendship to begin?
I'm afraid of him.
Well, he's afraid of you,
so you should get along fine.
Here he comes, Chels.
Talk to him.
Hey, hey!
Hey!
Look at you!
Hi, kid.
- Where's the dentist?
- He had to get back.
- He'll call you tonight.
- Okay.
- Hello, Norman.
- Well, well.
Oh, Chelsea!
We caught Walter.
Do you know
who Walter is?
- Well, I have a feeling he's a fish.
- Yes.
A humongous fish! And we
caught him today, didn't we, Norman?
- Well, let me see him.
- We let him go.
- Yeah. We let him go.
- I think I've heard this story before.
No! No, it's true.
Norman and I thought
that if Walter's lived this long...
we should let him
keep on living.
I'm gonna go tell Ethel.
Hey, Norman!
We caught the son of a b*tch!
We caught him!
Good job! Whoo!
You got yourself
a friend, huh?
Yeah, he's all right.
Hasn't been too difficult.
- How's your forehead?
- Huh?
Oh, this.
It's all right.
Lot of pain.
Nothing to worry about.
Norman, I want to talk to you.
What seems
to be the problem?
There's no problem.
I just...
I want to talk to you.
I think that...
maybe you and I should have the kind
of relationship that we're supposed to have.
What kind of relationship is that?
Well, you know...
like a father
and a daughter.
Oh, just in the nick
of time, huh?
Worried about
the will, are you?
I'm leaving everything to you
except what I'm taking with me.
Just stop it.
I don't want anything.
It seems that you and me
have been mad at each other for so long.
I didn't know we were mad.
I thought we just didn't like each other.
- I want to be your friend.
- Oh.
This mean you'll
come around more often?
Mean a lot
to your mother.
I'll come around
more often.
Well.
Yep.
- Oh! I got married in Brussels.
- You did?
In Brussels?
- He makes me very happy.
- Well, good.
Does he speak English?
- Bill... I married Bill.
- Bill? Oh, Bill!
I'm glad, Chelsea.
That's "san frantastic."
- What?
- Is Billy gonna be living with ya?
- Uh-huh.
- Well, good.
Isn't that something?
Good for you.
You know something?
I got him doing
the back flip just like a pro.
Oh, yeah?
That's great.
- Want me to get him down and show you?
- No. Not right now.
Okay. Oh, that's right.
You never were a great back flipper, were you?
I was always
too fat, remember?
Yeah, I do
remember that now.
Well, probably
a lot easier for a boy.
I beg your pardon.
- Do you want to see me do a back flip?
- Huh?
I am gonna do
a goddamn back flip.
Chelsea,
you don't have to.
I want to!
Make sure you go up,
not just back.
Up and back.
Oh, I'm scared.
Nothing to be scared of.
The back flip is one of the easiest dives of all.
- I'm scared anyway.
- Don't do it.
It doesn't matter
if you don't do the stupid dive.
It's not important.
I did it!
She did it!
Chelsea did a back flip!
I went over!
It was lousy, but I did it!
- Good for you!
- Yea!
You could come out...
- instead of going to Florida.
- We'll discuss it.
If I can persuade Norman that Los Angeles
is part of the United States...
it shouldn't be too much...
Norman! What in the world
are you doing now?
Hey there, cool breeze.
In case you want
to take a break from cruising.
- Wow! Thank you, Captain.
- He can't take that fool thing on the plane.
- Yes, he can.
- Got something for you too.
You know
what this is?
University of Pennsylvania diving finals, 1921.
Second place.
Oh, thanks.
Now I can retire.
Show that to your new husband.
