The Other Sister Page #6

- Good.

- I wasn't expecting to see you till Monday.

Uh... Yeah, just 'cause... just 'cause

I wanted... I wanted to bring Carla in...

so that she could see

where I work.

- Hi, Carla. - Hey, Carla.

- She... She's my girlfriend.

Ohh!

No, I... They're

not laughing at you.

You just missed marching band rehearsal, and

right now we're working with the Dixieland band.

Ohh.

But you know what?

I was just talking to Wally.

And we decided it would be great

to hear the band from the audience.

Wow, Carla. A new boyfriend.

- And now a dance?

- Yeah. The dance is this Friday.

- Mm, that's exciting.

- Well, I was just calling, Heather...

because I wanted to tell you

the good news...

and I want to look special,

with nice make-up on...

and I don't think

I could do it myself.

Just go to the mall. They have

lots of make-over places there.

- You know, they'll just do it for you or show you how.

- Really?

- Free make-over demonstration over here.

- Really?

- We can do wonders for you, I promise.

- Good. Thanks.

- Hi, miss. We're having a free

make-over demonstration. - No, thank you.

- Free make-overs.

- Oh, it's free?

Wow. But over there, it's 35.

- But it's free over there.

- Thank you.

And smile. Perfect! Beautiful.

Now, this is the new you.

The old you.

Good.

Not so good.

Okay. Anyone else

for a free make-over demonstration?

But when are you gonna do

the rest of my face?

This is a demonstration, and

this demonstration was absolutely free.

Oh, but how much is it

to buy the other half of my face?

About $50.

- But I don't have $50.

- Oh.

Well, then I'm afraid I'm gonna have to take the

next customer then, so if you could just move aside.

But you didn't say anything

about $50 before.

Come on. Everybody knows

the whole thing isn't free.

- But that's not fair.

- Life isn't fair.

Okay, if you'll just step aside.

Thank you so much for coming in.

- That's not fair.

- Bye-bye now.

Next.

Well, you walk right in

And you walk right out, hmm

You walk right in there

Walk right out

Well, my baby keeps on walkin'

All she want to do

is walk right in, yeah

She walk right out

She walks right in there

She walks right out

- Happy Halloween.

- Hi.

There's just too many people out there

who'll take advantage of you.

I don't think

you should go to the dance.

- Mother!

- What?

- I have to go to the dance.

- Well...

- You said I could.

- I know, I know. Okay, okay.

Can you do a whole new make-up?

No, I won't do that, Carla.

Now, you have such a lovely face.

You don't need

all that make-up. No.

- Well...

- What?

How about if you taught me

how to dance?

Wow, Mom!

I feel the earth move

under my feet

- But I can't do that with my arms.

- Yes, you can.

Look at me.

It's very simple.

I feel my heart

start to tremblin'

- Whenever you're around

- I feel the earth

Thomas Porter, at my school,

he used to go like this.

- Oh, no, no, Carla. Stop. No, no, don't. No, Carla.

- And then the teacher would come and...

- All right.

- Darling, just don't move your hips like that.

Don't do this. Don't do that. Just

keep it calm down there. That's right.

Give me your hand.

- Okay. -

Whoo! - Wow!

And then the dip thing!

Oh, dear! I'm terrible!

You're funny, Mom!

Oh, my baby. I love you.

- I love you.

- You're silly.

You're silly. Oh, dear.

Oh, dear, what's the matter with me?

- Wow.

- What's the matter with... I might be having a breakdown.

- But, Mom...

- Oh, dear.

I have to learn my slow dances too.

No, but slow dances, dear, they're...

they're a bit of a problem because you don't

want to get too close, you really don't.

You want to keep time to the music.

Want to do it

- Stand up and I'll show you how you do it. You just sort of...

- Yeah.

You made me want you

- And all the time you knew it

- All the time you knew it

- Yeah. Well, all the movies I've s-seen,

Mom, they all... - I guess you always knew it

- It's slow, like this.

- No, no. I don't think so, Carla.

When they start to play a slow song,

I think what might be best is...

you and your partner should immediately

go and get yourselves a soda.

- That might be nice.

- But there were times

Dear

Happy Halloween, Dad!

Look what Winnie made me.

My pumpkin's a duck.

- No, I'm a swan.

- Oh, yeah, a swan. Of course. You...

I feel so delicate.

Oh, honey, well, you have

always been delicate to me...

and you were always beautiful.

What is it? What... Ohh!

- Oh, look at you!

- Careful.

- It's Swan Lake.

- Yeah.

Oh, you're beautiful.

Now, Carla, let me just take that off.

'Cause I don't think that's gonna fit

in the back seat of the car.

And, Radley, you'd better get going,

otherwise you're gonna be late.

Oh, wait!

Oh, wait just one minute.

- My, uh, boyfriend is coming...

- Here...

- and he's gonna go with us.

- Boyfriend?

Don't make that face, Mom.

He's very nice.

- He has two jobs, Mom.

- What kind of jobs does he have, Carla?

- Well, he wor... One w... He works at the bakery.

- The bakery.

And then the other one is, he's a music...

works in the music department at the university.

- I don't know...

- That's nice.

- Oh! That's him! - L... I... -

Radley, come here just one moment.

- Do you believe this?

- What?

This guy has the nerve

to come to our very own home.

- I mean, what does he want with her anyway?

- Honey, she's a very attractive girl.

- She's very pretty anyway, and he just...

- I'll tell you what he wants. He wants to have his way with her. That's what he wants.

Hi, Daniel.

- Hi. You look really pretty.

- Thank you.

This is my idea of a nightmare.

Mom!

- I want you to meet Daniel.

- Oh.

And Daniel, this is my mother

and my father.

Hello... Ohh!

What is... What?

- Give me your paw, Daniel.

- Hello.

- It's very nice to meet you.

- Look, do, uh...

- Do you have a head? You know, a head.

- Sorry.

I did... I didn't...

Oh, he's the boy at school.

Yes, well, I'm gonna find my car keys.

Don't worry,

'cause I've been house-trained.

- That's a joke, Mom.

- You're gonna have a wonderful time tonight.

- Okay! - Yeah. -

Sure. - Sure, dear.

- So, that's an excellent costume you picked out there.

- Goodbye.

- You don't wanna miss that party.

- What's that right there? - Oh.

- Trick or treat!

- My dad gives these instead of candy.

Oh! Up and down, and not across.

- Thank you! Okay.

- Bye, Carla.

- Bye, Mom. - Bye.

- Bye. - Be good.

- Oh, dear.

- Well...

I am not the person

who is singing

I am the silent one inside

I am not the one

who laughs at people's jokes

We're not responsible for lost items...

so please make sure you pick up

your wings and your antlers.

Also, for those interested...

the first-quarter grades are posted

downstairs on the bulletin board.

Who's next?

I want to see if I passed.

- Come on, Daniel.

- Um, well, o-okay.

She said it was downstairs.

He who makes the monsters

He who strips my confidence
