{746}{881}NORMA: Your father's had a bad day at work - so no noise. (Gestures. )
{937}{1035}NORMA: Hi hon, how's work?|JACK: Work's work.
{1036}{1228}TV SHOW (V/O): The irritable male gives out unmistakable signals that tell the young to keep their distance.
{1351}{1427}KEVIN: Let's go play catch.|WAYNE: Good idea.
{1536}{1698}When my father had a bad day at work, he'd just sit in the dark by himself and watch TV.
{1709}{1874}We learned early on that this was a danger signal and we adapted our behavior accordingly.
{1950}{2125}And when he had a really bad day - I'm talking about a very not good day - he had this telescope,
{2168}{2286}and he'd go in the back yard and look through it for hours.
{2439}{2524}KEVIN: Etienne: Maman, nous allons...
{2570}{2650}KEVIN (V/O):... diner....... soire.
{2651}{2742}KEVIN: Nicole: Oui, Maman, dinons en vit.
{2769}{2845}NORMA: That's very good, Kevin.
{3060}{3168}JACK: Dammit, Kevin! How many times I tell ya not to leave your bicycle...
{3169}{3229}JACK (V/O): In the driveway?!|KEVIN: But I...
{3230}{3333}JACK: You think they grow on trees?! If you don't want to take care of it... (points)... you don't have to have it!
{3334}{3421}KEVIN: But I was just going to ride it over to Paul's later.
{3422}{3622}JACK: Now you're not going to ride it over to Paul's. You're going to put it away, and then you're going to go to your room.
{3623}{3752}JACK: Now!|And then sometimes, you knew you shouldn't do it...
{3753}{3837}But you just couldn't help yourself.
{3846}{3924}KEVIN: OK, OK, get a grip on yourself.
{3925}{4025}You gave him lip.|JACK: What did you say?
{4026}{4150}KEVIN: Nothing.|JACK: I asked you a question, dammit, what did you say?
{4151}{4267}KEVI (V/O): We have certain rules around here, young man...|JACK: And you're going to follow them.
{4268}{4374}JACK: The first one is take care of your own stuff!
{4817}{4953}I guess we really didn't understand why he was so hard on us sometimes.
{5149}{5303}Because sometimes, and I remember these times so distinctly, my dad could be great.
{5448}{5514}He could be so much fun.
{5543}{5631}You never wanted that feeling to end...
{5797}{5869}And then, for some reason...
{5949}{6003}It always would.
{6203}{6343}KEVIN (V/O): Now look, first you have to have something you really want to be, and then you have to have a fallback position.
{6344}{6552}KEVIN: So like, I wanna be a professional baseball player, but my fallbacks... are either... an astronaut or a forest ranger.
{6553}{6677}STEVE: OK. OK, I want to be a professional baseball player too.
{6707}{6767}PAUL: Well what's your fallbacks?
{6768}{6832}STEVE: A professional football player.
{6833}{6895}WAYNE: Why don't you fall back a little further.
{6896}{7005}STEVE: I don't know. I'd probably go into business with my father.
{7006}{7075}KEVIN: What's your dad do?
{7109}{7185}STEVE: I don't know - he works.
{7214}{7344}WAYNE: You don't know what your father does? That's the most stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life.
{7345}{7464}STEVE: Yeah, well what does your father do?|WAYNE: He works at NORCOM.
{7465}{7536}KEVIN: Yeah, he works at NORCOM.
{7537}{7624}STEVE: Nor-com? What the hell is that?
{7639}{7737}WAYNE (V/O): It's a company, moron.|STEVE: What does he do there? Is he the janitor?
{7738}{7829}WAYNE: No, he's the manager, jerk.|STEVE: What does he manage, toilet bowls?
{7830}{7941}KEVIN: No, business, stupid! (Gestures. ) He manages business.
{7942}{8029}STEVE: "He manages business? What the hell's that supposed to mean?
{8030}{8147}And that's when it hit me. I had absolutely...|No idea...
{8148}{8202}What that meant.
{8237}{8400}ANNOUNCER: In Saigon today, President Thieu will offer a new peace proposal which will...
{8408}{8565}KAREN: It's too long.|NORMA: If I made it any shorter it would be a headband.
{8647}{8727}KEVIN: Hey, Mom?|NORMA: Hmmmm?
{8728}{8799}KEVIN: What does Dad do for a living?
{8800}{8889}NORMA: What do you mean what does he do for a living? He works for NORCOM.
{8890}{8987}KEVIN: Yeah, I know. But what does NORCOM do?
{8989}{9065}KAREN (V/O): It's part of the military-industrial complex.
{9066}{9211}NORMA (V/O): It is not. They make those little - thingies. You know, electro...
{9212}{9304}NORMA: Something. I forget what they're called.|KAREN (V/O): Those little "thingies" are helping...
{9305}{9414}KAREN: To burn villages and kill children in Southeast Asia.
{9415}{9521}NORMA: They are this big... (gestures)... for God's sake - they are not killing anybody's children.
{9522}{9617}KAREN (V/O): But you admit they're used for military purposes.
{9618}{9697}NORMA: They're used in toasters and coffee makers.
{9698}{9774}KAREN: Oh. So the military does need toast.|NORMA (V/O): Karen?!
{9775}{9839}NOPRMA (V/O): For God's sake.
{9840}{9942}KEVIN: Dad doesn't actually make those little thingies, does he?|NORMA (V/O): Well, no...
{9943}{10043}NORMA: Of course he doesn't actually make them.
{10058}{10130}KEVIN: Then what does he do?
{10183}{10253}NORMA: Well he's a manager.
{10265}{10402}NORMA (V/O): He manages "distribution...|NORMA: And product support services".
{10430}{10641}My mother obviously hoped the tone of her declaration would forestall the one glaring question that its substance raised.
{10649}{10731}KEVIN: What does that mean?|No such luck.
{10774}{10864}NORMA: Kevin? (Frowns. ) Why the sudden interest...
{10865}{10926}NORMA: (V/O): In your father's job?
{10927}{11030}KEVIN: I don't know... (shrugs)... just wondered.
{11086}{11152}NORMA: Well, that sounds like him now.
{11153}{11252}NORMA: Why don't you just go ask him yourself?
{11260}{11339}NORMA: Hi, hon! How was your day?
{11407}{11473}JACK (V/O): Day's a day.
{11565}{11707}Easy for her to say. The man had grunted exactly twice in three-and-a-half hours.
{11708}{11828}I didn't see anybody else lining up to probe his inner life.
{11843}{11889}KEVIN: Dad?
{11981}{12085}KEVIN: Dad... (frowns. )... what do you do all day?
{12086}{12183}JACK: Aw, man! (Shakes his head. ) I can't believe they lost to the Senators.
{12184}{12244}JACK: What'd ya say?
{12286}{12374}KEVIN: I said - what do you do all day?
{12400}{12545}JACK: What do I do all day? I shovel other people's crap so you kids can eat.
{12573}{12688}OK. That was pretty specific. No need to press the issue.
{12713}{12794}KEVIN: No, I mean, what do you do?
{12801}{12943}JACK: Wh-?|JACK: I work at NORCOM - you know that.
{12946}{13062}KEVIN: Yeah, I know, but what do you do there?|JACK: Come on, Kevin.
{13063}{13213}JACK: I work all day and all I ask now is to sit here and watch this... (Gestures. )
{13214}{13374}JACK: Great. (Frowns. ) Is two minutes peace and quiet too much to ask for around here?
{13425}{13503}JACK (V/O): Now what do ya want?
{13519}{13574}KEVIN: Forget it.
{13886}{13975}JACK: Uh...|JACK (V/O): Hiya, Kevin.
{13976}{14193}Oh no, pal.|You think it's going to be that easy. You hurt my feelings, and now you have to pay the piper.
{14251}{14340}JACK: So, you want to know what I do at work, huh?
{14341}{14415}That's it, don't look him in the eye.
{14416}{14511}Don't look him in the eye. Don't look him in the...
{14512}{14618}Uh, geez, what are you doin'? You're killin' me here.
{14619}{14673}JACK: It's uh...
{14720}{14790}JACK: No big deal, ya know.
{14863}{14931}JACK: Mostly pushin' papers from over here to over there.
{14932}{15047}JACK: It's... not some... big glamorous thing. (Shrugs. )
{15083}{15218}OK, fine. Look at him... look at him all you want - just no words, OK?
{15232}{15301}KEVIN: What do the papers say?|Uhnhhnhhhh...
{15302}{15367}KEVIN: What's your office like?
{15368}{15467}JACK: It's an office. Four walls, a ceiling...
{15496}{15557}JACK (V/O): A door...
{15575}{15653}KEVIN: Do you got file cabinets?
{15687}{15772}JACK: Yeah, I got file cabinets. Why?
{15799}{15895}KEVIN (V/O): I don't know - I just wondered.
{15925}{15991}JACK: Look, Kevin, uh...
{16025}{16094}JACK: Why don't you come into the office with me tomorrow... you see...
{16095}{16203}JACK (V/O): For yourself. I'll write you a note, OK?
{16231}{16276}JACK: OK?!
{16316}{16374}KEVIN: OK. (Nods. )
{16399}{16483}JACK (V/O): OK. (Nods. ) Good night.
{16674}{16819}JACK (V/O): Set your alarm for six-thrity. I don't want to be waitin' for ya.
{17118}{17185}JACK (V/O): We better go.
{17231}{17306}JACK: Traffic's gonna be hell.
{17424}{17499}I went to work with my father.
{17500}{17608}I didn't know exactly what I expected to learn about him there.
{17609}{17670}I guess I was looking for clues.
{17671}{17771}Something to explain why he was the way he was.
{17859}{18015}JACK: Everybody, this is my son, Kevin. This is Phyllis and Stan and Betty and Mary.
{18034}{18156}BETTY: Hi, there!|STAN (WISANSKI) (V/O): You look just like your old man.
{18157}{18245}PHYLLIS: Oh my goodness, he's adorable.
{18253}{18346}MARY: What an angel. Look at those cheeks.
{18346}{18458}I got the feeling they didn't see a lot of twelve-year-olds around here.
{18459}{18528}PHYLLIS (V/O): And what are you gonna be when you grow up?
{18529}{18591}MARY: Are you going to come to work with us at NORCOM?
{18592}{18747}Of course I knew exactly what I was going to be when I grew up - either centerfielder for the San Francisco Giants...
{18748}{18841}Or a crewmember of the first manned spacecraft to Mars.
{18842}{18946}PHYLLIS: Are you going to go into distribution like your father, hmmm?
{18947}{19009}KEVIN: I don't know, maybe.
{19010}{19155}JACK: Uh, come on Kevin, I'll show you my office. (To co-workers): Excuse me.
{19350}{19488}Dad's office wasn't impressive the way say, the Apollo 8 was impressive...
{19489}{19566}But it did have a lot of pretty cool stuff in it.
{19567}{19706}A big executive desk, a phone with lots of flashing lights and buttons...
{19743}{19835}And a swivel chair.|KEVIN: Can I sit in your chair?
{19836}{19882}JACK: Sure.
{19993}{20150}JACK: (To intercom): Phyllis, pull the quarterly distribution reports. Oh, and the, uh... West Coast shipping statements from September.
{20151}{20217}PHYLLIS (V/O): Right.|JACK: Thanks.
{20218}{20296}KEVIN: Here. No, you can sit down...|JACK (V/O): No-no. It's OK.
{20297}{20394}JACK: Sit down...|JACK: OK!
{20399}{20493}JACK: First thing you gotta learn about around here is the S-14 forms.
{20494}{20618}JACK (V/O): You gotta fill one of these babies out every time -
{20629}{20709}JACK: Yeah, Phyllis.|PHYLLIS (V/O): Jeff Meyers on one.
{20710}{20808}JACK: OK.|JACK: Hello Jeff!
{20809}{20928}JACK (V/O): How are ya? Good, good. Really? No, look Jeff, I told him...
{20929}{21042}JACK: The same thing, but he said that NU-Tech wanted those 1018's.
{21043}{21131}JACK (V/O): Well, Jeff, Jeff! - that's not really my problem.
{21132}{21222}JACK: I mean, they should know their own system, right? Yeah, OK.
{21223}{21316}JACK (V/O): Yeah, OK, I'll see ya. Uh huh.
{21445}{21544}JACK: Be with ya in just a minute here, Kevin.
{21556}{21666}PHYLLIS (V/O): Peter Dante on two.|JACK: Yeah Phyllis. Thanks.
{21667}{21869}JACK: Hello, Pete. Yeah, Jack Arnold. How are ya? Good, good. Listen, Pete, I was just talking with Jeff Meyers over at -
{21870}{21972}JACK (V/O): I don't know. I don't know!|JACK: I'm checking on it right now. Oh, well hell, Pete!
{21973}{22025}JACK: They could... (gesutes)... just get someone else then!
{22026}{22219}I had no idea what my father was talking about, but suddenly I fell in love with the rhythm and flow of it all.
{22220}{22364}The way he punched those phone buttons, flipped through papers, gave orders.
{22369}{22544}He had power, authority, just like at home, only here it was even more mysterious and impressive.
{22620}{22695}JACK (V/O to Wisanski): Look, call Albuquerque, tell 'em Rusty ordered a... AG Lanford...
{22696}{22778}JACK: And you get me the purchase orders from last week.|I forgot my briefcase in the car. (Gestures. )
{22779}{22827}JACK: Kevin.
{23152}{23250}I imagined myself in that role...|Administering things...
{23251}{23332}Giving orders, chewing people out.
{23382}{23439}KEVIN: What the hell do you want?!
{23440}{23630}KAREN (Timidly): Well, Mr. Arnold, sir, i-if... if you're not too busy, sir, I-I have some papers for your approval, sir.
{23631}{23743}KEVIN: Sure, I do everything else around here, don't I?
{23785}{23848}KAREN: Thank you, sir.
{23921}{23992}KEVIN: Good morning... buttface!
{23993}{24149}WAYNE: Good morning, sir. I spent all night working on these for your approval, sir.
{24196}{24279}KEVIN: They stink. Do 'em over again.
{24280}{24343}WAYNE: Thank you, sir.
{24409}{24514}Yeah, this was OK. Like father, like son, I guess.
{24565}{24664}JACK(V/O): Wisanski! Bring the purchase order.
{24704}{24803}JACK: Phyllis - get Pete back for me.|PHYLLIS (V/O): OK.|JACK: What's this?
{24804}{24950}WISANSKI (V/O): We need these approved by Friday... and we're having a problem with STI Phoenix.
{24951}{25038}WISANSKI: The October shipment's late.
{25040}{25122}JACK: What do you mean "late", how late, and when did you find this out?
{25123}{25215}WISANSKI: Well, they called yesterday, but I thought maybe they would get there by today.
{25216}{25322}JACK: You though maybe it would get there by today?
{25339}{25407}JACK (V/O): What the hell?|JACK (To intercom: ) Phyllis, get me Southwest Express, please.
{25408}{25496}WISANSKI: Well, actually we're using a new carrier.
{25497}{25569}WISANSKI: Maybe they, uh... (gestures)... you know -|JACK: You what?!
{25570}{25674}JACK (V/O): You went with a new carrier? Jesus, Wisanski! You didn't clear that with me.
{25675}{25722}JACK: If this screws up the damn account, we're all gonna be...
{25723}{25838}WISANSKI: Look, I'm sorry. (Gestures. ) Maybe I should go down there.|JACK: Look, no...
{25855}{25976}JACK: It's OK, I'll handle it. Next time check first with me.
{26271}{26448}JACK: Tell you what, Kevin. It is time you learned about the most important part of the working day.
{26449}{26521}JACK(V/O): The coffee break.
{26547}{26598}JACK: Come on.
{26611}{26688}PHYLLIS: Jack, Mr. Keller's on line one.
{26689}{26749}JACK: Tell 'em I'm not here.
{26750}{26837}PHYLLIS: Oh, but he sounds like it's important.
{26838}{26889}JACK: Come on.
{27229}{27307}JACK: Sure that's what you want?
{27312}{27399}KEVIN: Yeah. (Nods. ) I like it black.
{27479}{27575}JACK: Uh huh. Learn something new every day.
{27710}{27790}KEVIN: Dad?|JACK: Hmmm?
{27844}{28028}KEVIN: When did you decide you wanted to become a manager of distribution and product support services?
{28033}{28078}JACK: Hah!
{28114}{28217}JACK (V/O): Sorry. Just a funny sort of a thought.
{28218}{28384}JACK: Really wanting to be manager of distribution and product support services. (Smiles. )
{28385}{28550}JACK: I mean it's a good job, but, uh... (he shakes his head and raises his eyebrows)... it's not what I thought I'd be doing with my life.
{28551}{28672}KEVIN: What did you want to do?|JACK: What - are you kiddin'? - a professional baseball player.
{28673}{28770}KEVIN: No, really.|JACK: Really?
{28800}{28902}JACK: Well, I... did have a fallback position...
{28929}{28983}KEVIN: This job?
{29034}{29098}JACK: No. Not this job.
{29189}{29429}JACK: I never told anybody this before... (he looks at Kevin)... not even your mother. When I was your age, I wanted to be a captain of a ship.
{29430}{29490}KEVIN: A captain of a ship?
{29491}{29774}JACK: Yeah. Ya know, one of those big oceanliners... or a freighter... or an oil tanker... Be out there on the ocean in the middle of the night, navigating by the stars.
{29899}{29964}JACK: Course, they use instruments for all that now, but...
{29965}{30032}JACK: I didn't know that.
{30042}{30137}JACK (V/O): Yeah, thought it would be the greatest thing in the world.
{30138}{30244}KEVIN: How come you didn't do it?|JACK: How come?
{30281}{30400}JACK: Well, ya know...|JACK: One thing leads to another... went off to college...
{30401}{30459}JACK: Met your mom.
{30495}{30619}JACK: Next summer I got a job on a loading dock here at NORCOM.
{30674}{30737}JACK: Rest is history.
{30773}{30851}KEVIN: You'd have made a great ship's captain, Dad.
{30852}{30921}JACK: Nahhhh - probably not.
{30922}{31001}JACK: Probably get sea sick. Huh.
{31025}{31088}JACK: Ya know, Kevin, you can't do every silly thing...
{31089}{31191}JACK (V/O): You want to in life. You have to make your choices...
{31192}{31354}JACK: You have to try and be happy with them. I've think we've done pretty well. Don't you?
{31355}{31478}KEVIN: Yeah.|KEVIN: I think we've done great.
{31667}{31837}But as we walked back to my father's office, I suddenly realized something that made a lot of things make sense.
{31838}{32016}My dad was too good for this place. Sure, it was good - we were all lucky he had it and all that...
{32026}{32168}But my dad had something finer in him than S-14's and distribution reports.
{32202}{32269}I'll never forget how I felt at that moment.
{32270}{32357}I felt that my father was a great man.
{32519}{32643}MR. KELLER: What the hell is this, Arnold?! (He points at papers): This is incompetence, just plain incompetence!
{32644}{32751}JACK: Look, Al. Wisanski's a little -|MR. KELLER: Nevermind Wisanski!|MR. KELLER (V/O): He works for you!
{32752}{32854}MR. KELLER (V/O): Now this is the third major screw up in your department in the last two months.
{32855}{33000}MR. KELLER: Now if you can't hire competent people, and supervise them, we can find somebody that can!
{33001}{33096}JACK: It's being taken care of.|MR. KELLER (V/O): Well it sure as hell better be!
{33097}{33139}MR. KELLER (V/O): Oh, and one more thing.
{33140}{33284}MR. KELLER (V/O): The next time I try to get you on the phone... you better be there, to take the call.
{33285}{33397}MR. KELLER (V/O): Now, do you read me, Arnold?|MR. KELLER: Do you read me?!!
{33398}{33502}JACK (V/O): Yeah, Al, I read you.|MR. KELLER (V/O): Good!
{34347}{34494}That night my father stood there, looking up at the sky the way he always did.
{34664}{34809}But suddenly I realized I wasn't afraid of him in quite the same way anymore.
{34864}{34967}The funny thing is, I felt like I lost something.
{35240}{35313}JACK (V/O): Come here, Kevin.
{36064}{36149}JACK: That's Polaris, the North Star.
{36282}{36397}JACK: That's how the sailors used to find their way home.
