Stolen Summer Page #2

to my family. I have a -- You have a family? Yeah. Well, then what do they

call you? Well, my son calls me Dad, and my congregation

calls me Rabbi... Rabbi Jacobsen. Pete. Pete O'Malley. Nice to meet you,

Rabbi Jacobsen. Nice to meet you,

Pete O'Malley. [ Indistinct conversations ] Oh, look at

all these little... Stop making up

these storeys. You're just lying

through your teeth. Don't listen to him. I was like, "Hi, Julie,"

and she was like, "Hi, Eddie." She did not say that. Oh, she said,

"Hi, Eddie..." Hey. Hey, get your elbows

off the table. Eddie, what's --

what's with your hair? All my friends loved it.

You, my friend, are going to

the barber college this week. Can I have your attention,

please? I got something to say! Well, I guess so. This better be good,

Katie. So, today,

I pedalled my bike all the way down

to the O'Connor's house. Then, I pedalled back,

and it was sunny. And it was sunny.

[ Laughs ] Speech therapy for

this one -- maybe. Margaret: Honey... [ Sarcastically ]

That's great.

Make fun of her. Does anybody know

what a yarmulke is? You mean a beanie? No, it's not a beanie,

Pop. It's, uh -- Jewish people

wear them, Pete. It's -- it's religious. It's their traditional

head wear. It's like feathers

for Indians.

Exactly. Well, what's it for? To hide their horns. They have horns? [ Laughs ] Joseph!

No, that's not right, and nobody repeats that

out of this house. Do you hear me?

Who wants ice cream? I do.

Chocolate, please. Come on,

I need helpers. Vanilla.

Thank you. You're requesting flavours?

You'll get what we have. We always do.

Pete, get me some --

some vanilla. So, your Uncle Charlie

can get you an interview at the city planner's office. Yeah, well, uh,

no, thanks. Well, Patrick, what about

the fire department? No, no, no,

forget about that. That's always there

for him. So, what are you

gonna do? What am I gonna do? Well, uh, you know, I'm still waiting for those

scholarships to come through, and until then, I'm

lifeguarding, you know. I'm making money

and saving money -- Lifeguarding?

[ Laughs ] I raised a professional

lifeguarder in Chicago. Works three months a year,

right? Dad, if you could see Sheila Moran

in a bathing suit, you'd be a lifeguarder,

too, I promise. "Oh, Patrick, save me. Help! Save me!

Oh, give me a little kiss

on the cheek, baby." Patrick, Francis Demos told me

Sheila likes you. All you have to do

is ask her out. Don't let her old man

catch you.

No kidding. Do we have to talk about

my personal life every night at dinner? [ Laughs ] I think you like her,

son. [ Birds chirping, children

shouting in distance ] Come in. Hey, Rabbi Jacobsen.

It's me -- Pete O'Malley. Oh, yes, Mr. O'Malley,

have a seat. How are you? I'm great. Thanks. I'm ready to start

my quest, but I thought I might need

your permission first. Excellent idea.

What are your plans? I was thinking of setting up this lemonade "free trip

to Heaven" stand. Of course! The old lemonade "free trip

to Heaven" stand. Very enterprising. Jewish people like

lemonade, right? Oh, sure. In fact, I think Moses had

the first setup on Mount Sinai. I'm -- I'm just setting it up,

uh, at the front door. Oh, and I'm not gonna

charge. Well, if you're not gonna

charge anything, people won't take you

seriously. How about a nickel? Alright. Fine,

don't charge anyone. I'm sure that'll work. I'll let you know

how everything goes. Appreciate it. Uh, Pete... Yeah? Jewish people do believe

in Heaven, just not the same way

Christians do. Ours involves

a little more waiting. Well, maybe I could get the

people who don't want to wait. Okay. Here you go. Thanks. See you later. [ Bell dings ] [ Distant talking ] Ah, Mr. O'Malley. Just remember Rome

wasn't built in a day. How do you make

any money here? I'm free,

and I still have nobody. I envy your youth. You'll do better

tomorrow. Well, it's late today,

though, so why don't I help you store

your office? We'll put her right inside

the synagogue door there -- for free, of course. You know, you and I seem to be the only two

on this block that care about

free stuff. Well, that's because

we realise what we have to offer

you can't buy. Either that or

your lemonade stinks. Is that a possibility? Don't tell Mom we charged candy

at the pharmacy. Okay, I won't. Hey, you want to play

some ball tomorrow? No, I don't think I can. I'm going to

the synagogue again. [ Vehicle door closes ] Door-to-door service. It's a lot to ask

from a part-time secretary. Rabbi Jacobsen,

you've received six messages. Oh, yeah? Listen, whatever we're paying

you, it's not enough, not if you're gonna insist

on giving me curbside service. What is this? Members of the congregation

don't seem to think this lemonade stand

is such a laughing matter. It's against Judaism. I'll tell you something

about this congregation -- they barely notice

this synagogue is here unless it's

the High Holidays. All he's doing is

asking people to think. And you'll notice,

when you ask people to think, that's when they start

complaining. But he's advertising

Christianity. No, he's advertising

thought. He's asking people to have

a free cup of lemonade and maybe gain some insight

about how to get into Heaven. If that goes against

people's wishes, so be it. You know what I wish? I wish there were

a thousand Petes setting up stands

all up and down the street. [ Chuckles ]

You like stirring things up. Yeah. My generation,

they're crazy. Luckily, your lovely wife

is raising Daniel. That is a good thing,

isn't it? [ Birds chirping ] Margaret:

Seamus, get down here! What are you doing

out of the tub? Get back in there. I don't think this quest thing

is gonna work. You're missing

some great baseball. Muldoon says he'll trade me

an Ernie Banks for a Pete Rose. Do it. Trade for a Cub? It's not about

who you root for. It's business. Banks is gonna be

a hall-of-famer. Who knows about Pete Rose? Hey, there's the rabbi

I was telling you about. [ Siren wailing ] [ Engine turns over,

tyres squeal ] I wonder where the fire is. Let's go. [ Siren approaching ] [ Horn honks ] [ Indistinct shouting ] Right here! The water! Over here! Take it easy, sir. That's my house.

That's my house! I'm sorry.

You can't go in there. My son's in there!

My son's in there! Where is he at?

Where is he at? Upstairs in the back!

There's a woman, too! Danny! Come on, let's go. Honey.

Where's Danny?!

Danny! He's in the back!

He's in the back! [ Crying ] Danny! Danny! He's in the back. [ Shouting continues ] They're gonna get him. He's in the back. [ Crying ] It's alright.

They're gonna get him. They're gonna get him. It's alright.

It'll be alright. You're gonna be alright,

okay? You're gonna be alright. His legs are moving.

He's gotta be okay. Danny! Danny!

He's alright, yeah? Get some oxygen on him! Okay, there's a woman inside --

Esther -- upstairs! Same place!

It's gotta be the same place! No, we're going back. Joe, it's too hot. Let go of me!
