The Stepfather Page #4

I never realized what

Thanksgiving was all about.

Well, if it isn't

the Road Warrior!

- Come on, hop on.

- Looks dangerous...

- No, this bike is totally safe.

- I meant you.

Me? You are the dangerous one,

you and that mean right hook.

Come on... Chicken.

Only if I get to drive.

So how come you're not with ever

popular Kathy Lombardo tonight?

Kathy Lombardo is a

stuck up b*tch.

She dumped you!

No, no! I dumped her.

Alright, alright,

she dumped me.

Come on! Watch where

you're going. Easy.

We're OK now. You can stop

holding on so tight.

Do I have to?

Not if you don't want to.

- I walk you up.

- OK.

Well, thanks for the ride.

- It's your bike.

- Right.

Well...

- Good night.

- Good night.

I-I- guess I'll see you

in school, huh?

I guess so.

That's the Miller's dog.

Yeah.

Anyway-- er-- bye.

Bye...

You!

You could go to jail!

This girl is 16 years old!

- And so am I.

- Jerry. What's wrong?

This punk was trying

to rape our daughter!

I just kissed her good night!

Stephanie? What's going on?

- Go home, Paul!

- Steph, are you sure?

Go home and I'll talk to you

tomorrow...Go!

Would somebody please tell me

what this is all about?

He kissed me good night.

I wanted him to.

I like Paul, Mom!

- Of course you do, honey...

- She's still a child!

I'm not a child!

Just 'cause you're a crazy

demented about sex!

- Don't you talk to your father

that way!

- He's not my father.

He's just some crazy creep!

How can you even bare to...

... let him touch you?

- Stop it!

He's your father now and

you'll respect him!

Stephanie!

Stephanie, come back!

Let her go, Susan. She'll come

back when she calms down.

What were you thinking of...

... making such a stupid scene?

- That punk was undressing her!

That's Paul Baker. I've known him

longer than I've known you!

- Meaning what?

- All the progress we've made

with Stephanie thrown away,

just thrown away! by you!

I...

- Bye, Ron.

- Good luck. Take care.

- Good bye, Audrey, don't work

too hard, uh? - Good luck!

Bye Sylvia, thanks for everything.

- Bye everybody!

- Bye, Jerry!

- We'll miss you, Jerry.

- Thanks, Mr. Grace.

- Good luck.

- Thanks for everything. Good bye.

Just listen to me. All I'm saying

is that the guy just married again,

to a divorcee with kids or

a widow. I know him!

This guy can not live

without a family.

- Now, you gotta help me!

- I don't have time.

Come on! All I'm asking for are

copies of marriage certificates

for the last year. How much

time is that gonna take?

More time than I've got

or care to spare.

Come back in a couple of weeks.

- I need them now!

- Good bye...

- A**hole.

- You're not qualified.

- What?

- To call him a**hole.

It's an earned privilege. You have

to know him for half an hour.

Well, perhaps you can help me

here, Miss... Barnes.

I could. The question is:

why should I?

Because the a**hole wouldn't

like it, and I would.

What do you say, Miss Barnes?

I say...

... you're qualified to call

me Annie.

Ok.

Honey... honey!

They say this Dr. is one of the

best. Have a good session, huh?

Miss Maine?

Miss Stephanie Maine?

Sorry, wrong office.

- Mr. Meredith?

- Yeah, that's me.

Sorry to have bothered you.

Thanks.

Over here.

This house was supposed to be

empty. I'm sorry about that.

- Hi, I'm Bill Hodgkins.

- The man who phoned about the job?

- That's right.

- Roy Chesterton.

How'd you do?

- You ever sold insurance before?

- Back east in Pennsylvania.

If there's a policy I haven't sold

I'd like to know what it is.

Especialized in any one area?

Well, I'm pretty comfortable

in all of them but if I have a

personal crusade, it's family

related policies, life insurance.

That's a toughy. People don't

wanna think they're gonna die

- I know I don't.

- Death is always something

that happens to someone else.

That's why I really believe that

I'm protecting the family.

I'm glad to hear you say that.

That's our main objective here.

Jerry?

We have to talk, honey.

About what?

About what?

About what is happening

to our family.

I'm taking care of it.

By yourself?

Daddy is home!

Daddy is home!

- Daddy, Daddy!

- Look who's here!

- Yes?

- Hi! Is Gerald Blake home?

No. Was he supposed to show

you a house?

He sells houses?

Yes, he does.

Can I help you?

No, I'll just drop by later.

See, I'm not even sure it's

the same Gerald Blake.

Well, I can give him a

message for you.

No, that's okay.

If it's the guy I know, I'd

rather just surprise him.

- All right.

- Ok, thanks.

You're welcome.

Hi.

Hello.

I'm Bill Hodgkins. I've just

rented the house next door.

So, we're neighbors.

I'm Dorothy Reinhard.

Welcome to Madison St.

Thank you.

Hard work.

Oh, the kids were supposed to do

it, but... you know how kids are.

It's just you and the kids, then?

Yeah.

Jerry Blake, please?

I'm sorry but Mr. Blake is no

longer connected with this agency.

There must be some mistake.

No, there isn't. I can give you

his home number though. It's...

I know that number! I'm calling

from that number.

I'm sorry, Madam, but Mr. Blake

left several days ago.

Well, thank you very much.

- It's about time!

- Mrs. Fairfax?

Not for long. Put this in the

trunk. I'm leaving now!

Is this him? Is this the guy?

Sure, I'm having an affair

with the cab driver.

You let her in your cab and I'll

break every bone in your body!

- I'm not a cab driver, okay?

- OK.

I just wanna ask you a question.

You ever seen this guy before?

The beard's new, but he looks like

the guy who sold us this house.

- Muriel?

- Could be him.

He sells houses?

Yeah... that's right.

Hey, what the hell are you

doing, buddy?

Hi, honey.

Where've you been?

Showing the Morton house to

some folks from California.

- Don't lie to me, Jerry.

- What?

I called your office today.

I didn't get the message.

Of course you didn't. They said

you stopped working there...

... several days ago.

- What?

The recepcionist said

that you left!

That idiot!

That new girl can't...

Susan... I've never

got anyone fired in my life,

but that girl... I don't know...

- You mean you still work there?

Of course. Where else

would I be?

I don't know! I just-I don't

know what I thought. Sorry.

This is very upsetting. I hope

Grace is still there...

No, forget it, honey.

Forget it! She probably just--

got the name wrong or

something.

Hodgkins! What's to get wrong?

What did you say?

What?

Wait a minute...

Who am I here?

Jerry... !

Jerry?

Jerry Blake. Thank you, honey.

You're alright, sweetheart?

Jerry?

Where are you going?

Susan! Susan, come here!

Come here!

A little order around here, huh!

Come on, Rinnie.

Come on, Rinnie. Come on, fella.

Come on, come on...

Come on, fella, come on...

Come see me, come on...

Here boy, here boy.

Yeah! That's my little fella.

That's a good Rinnie,

that's a good Rinnie, yeah.

Oh, yes! Yeah, you're a good dog.

You're a good dog!

Mom?

Mom? you home?

Hey. What they do? Leave you
