Raising Helen Page #8
- You want me to sing to a Hippo?
- Yeah.
- I'll take care of it.
- Thank you.
All right. What do we got? Skulls.
Another round of double-cherry
Shirley Temples.
Oh, no, no.
At 12.50 a pop, I don't think so.
And this is for you, Helen. Compliments
of the gentleman right over there.
Thank you.
- OK, here we go.
- Oh, wow.
For the hippo.
Happy birthday
to you
Aw, yeah. Happy birthday to you
Hip-pa-pa-Hip-pa-pa-Hippo
Happy
Birthday
to
you
Yay!
- Yay. Blow out the candle.
- Yay!
- Wait! Nilma!
- Everybody get in the car.
- Wait. I forgot the money for their lunch.
- No, no. I packed lunch. I packed lunch.
If they wanna buy a book or something...
You relax. You're a free woman.
Go and have fun.
We should be back at five o'clock
from the museum.
Have fun.
Hi, Helen. You wanna play some dominoes
with me and Artie over sandwiches?
Oh, no. I got so much I have to do.
Thank you.
- Helen.
- Hey.
I'm... I'm fine. I was just, um...
Trying to see if you had the nerve to drop
in on me, after you gave me the Heisman?
- What?
- Heisman. Whoa, back off.
Oh. I know, but...
- Are you free?
- What?
- Are you free?
- No. Actually, I'm not.
Got a lunch date.
You can come with me, though.
Pastor Dan, the holy goalie,
just checked Father Rodriguez.
We have a guest referee
with us today, ladies and gentlemen.
He's a ten-year veteran
of the Ice Capades.
Mr Scotty Buttons.
We got your back.
Score is still six to six.
Goal by Rabbi Levine.
Yeah!
Join us next week when the Clergy of
the Cloth take on the Storming Mormons.
There were literally four people
living in a shoebox apartment
cos they couldn't make the rent.
It's so expensive. It's ridiculous.
Yeah.
Thank you.
I had a really wonderful time.
Dan.
I'm sorry. It's a little weird, don't you think?
What? Because I'm a pastor?
Well, you know, I usually get
the freaky women who are turned on by it
or the guilt-ridden ones
who can't get over it.
You don't think I'm sexy?
- Cos I'm not a party-hopping kinda guy?
- I didn't say that.
Stop it.
Let me tell you something.
I got news for you, little lady.
I'm sexy.
Yeah. I'm a sexy man of God,
and I know it.
Hold it.
Now, that was kinda sexy.
Um, Nilma,
have you met the principal of our school?
- Hi.
- Hi.
Hi.
- Yeah. Thank you.
So, uh... I guess we're all getting As.
- Yeah!
- All right, OK.
Go, Helen! Go, Helen!
" I'm a fool for you, baby
A fool for your love
" I'm just a fool for you, baby
" I'm just a fool for you, baby
" And nothing's gonna change
" And maybe it's my sweetest pain
" My sweetest pain
" Fool for you, baby
It's driving me nuts
" Uh-uh-uh-uh
" Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
- It's really not that big of a deal, Dan.
- Hey, she was caught making out with BZ.
- OK, not so good.
- Also not so good.
- In a balcony in my church.
How can I come down on her
for something we were caught doing
a few days ago?
Because you're the adult
and she's the child.
She's gotta know you're serious.
Kids need boundaries. You know that.
But, Aunt Helen, it's a big deal
that a senior asked me to the prom.
I mean, what do you want me to do?
Find another senior?
Yes.
Audrey, I wanna treat you like an adult, but
I do not want you to go to the prom with BZ.
If you go with him, I'll be very disappointed.
- OK.
- OK.
- So, will you help me find a dress?
- Yes, I'll find you a dress.
OK.
- In the balcony of the church?
- Seemed like a good idea at the time.
- You are so going to hell.
- Hey.
Spider.
OK. Cradle.
All right, guys. Shoot.
Whoo!
OK. Hit the showers.
Henry, pick up the balls.
Hey. Gimme one of those.
Come on.
Let's go. Take a shot.
Come on.
You gotta get fired up for your game.
I am. Can't you tell?
Yahoo.
Oh, Henry.
OK. Henry?
Let's talk.
You used to love to play sports.
Sit down.
You and your dad used to play basketball
till it was too dark to even see the hoop.
Even when I missed, he'd always count it.
He called it
"Giving me the benefit of the dark."
- No, it's not.
- And it's OK to play sports.
- No.
- Why?
- Because he can't play any more.
Because everyone kept saying
Mom and Dad are up in heaven
and they're looking down on us always.
Well, if he is, I'm not gonna
make him feel bad about not playing.
Like if you're having a good time
without him, you're rubbing it in?
Yeah.
Henry. The only thing sadder
than them not being here
is knowing that by not being here,
you're not doing what you love.
- They want you to be happy.
- But then it's like I'm just forgetting them.
No, it's not.
No.
Cos every time you smile,
or laugh,
or enjoy your life,
it makes their dreams come true.
Besides, if they are looking down,
you really want them
to be stuck watching a lousy game?
No. My dad hates a lousy game.
Come on.
Yeah!
Yes. I am the senior-class treasurer.
And I just...
I want to say that I'm very honored
to be taking Audrey to my prom tonight.
I want you to know that.
Thank you.
Breathe.
Hey. Take a look. I got a wig on.
I'm gonna come out now.
How do I look?
You look just like your mother.
Thank you, Peter.
- OK. We're gonna go.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I wanna... We have to have a picture.
OK, get closer. Smile.
All right, welcome to the senior prom -
Bridges of Friendship.
Coming up next:
ladies' choice.I hear there's actually
some punch in the vodka.
Guys, your choice later.
- Who is it?
- Prom king.
Hey, I thought we could have our own
little prom. Where's the little kids at?
They're sleeping.
Doesn't the principal
have to police the prom?
Don't worry.
LaGambina's looking out for Audrey.
What is this?
" Down here the river
" Meets the sea
" And in the sticky heat I feel you
" Open up to me
" Love comes...
- I should get it.
- OK.
Hello.
Hello.
What?
Uh... What? I-I'm sorry.
Can you hear me now?
Yes. This is Mrs LaGambina.
Yeah, hi. I don't mean to worry you,
but Audrey's not here.
She arrived with Peter,
but she seems to have gone off with BZ.
I understand. Thank you for calling.
Dan. That was the school.
Audrey left the prom with BZ.
And they overheard some kids saying BZ
was bragging about taking her to a motel.
- What motel?
- They wouldn't say.
OK. They're gonna tell me.
Just come here.
- I just... It's just that I knew it.
- Don't worry.
I'll call you from the prom.
Don't worry.
Audrey.
Ed, do you know that a lot of celebrities
are knitting now? Isn't that interesting?
- Wow.
- Hello.
- Ed. It's Helen.
I need Jenny.
It's Helen.
Really?
Hello?
- Hey.
- What have you found out?
Thank you.
- So what do you know?
- Nothing yet.
Dan's at the gym, trying to see
if he can get something out of BZ's friends.
No. Thank you for your time.
Jenny, we have called over 20 motels.
BZ has a car, he could be anywhere.
