{660}{796}When my parents started out together...|Everybody still listened to the Andrew Sisters.
{797}{906}Everybody was having babies, and everybody liked Ike.
{932}{1008}Everybody knew that if they just worked hard...
{1009}{1068}And did all the right things...
{1069}{1165}A sort of paradise of family life lay ahead.

{1455}{1554}I guess "paradise" is a relative kind of word.
{1571}{1644}NORMA: Turn that noise down! (Frowns. )
{1645}{1724}KAREN: That noise is the best guitarist in the whole world!
{1725}{1853}NORMA: Yes, and I'm the best cook in the world! Now turn that down before you cause us all brain damage!
{1854}{1983}KAREN: You know, Mom... I live here too. And if I want to listen to my music...
{1984}{2055}JACK: Mom told you to...|JACK (V/O): Turn it down, now turn it down!
{2056}{2217}KAREN: I know what she told me...|NORMA: Karen...|JACK: If you want to live here, you play by these rules...
{2218}{2438}My sister - that sweet little blonde-haired angel... had turned into something stranger to my parents than an alien from space.
{2460}{2638}The only thing that they agreed on was that the best form of communication was yelling at the top of their lungs.
{2639}{2792}And that the best form of listening was... also yelling at the top of their lungs.
{2895}{3022}MISS WHITE: Values. Literature very often is but a conflict of...
{3123}{3177}CLASS: Values...
{3219}{3319}MISS WHITE: Now! Where do we get... our values?
{3379}{3461}MISS WHITE: Winnie.|WINNIE: From school?
{3532}{3634}MISS WHITE: Anywhere else?|MISS WHITE (V/O): Kevin.
{3635}{3746}KEVIN: From our parents.|MISS WHITE (V/O): Yes, OK, very good, Kevin!
{3747}{3807}MISS WHITE: Parents!
{3866}{3935}MISS WHITE: Anywhere else?
{3943}{3998}BOY: The Beatles?
{4064}{4298}MISS WHITE: Yes, that is very good! We do get a lot of our tastes and our values from our... (gestures)... "cultural heroes". (Smiles. )
{4375}{4436}MISS WHITE (V/O): Now...
{4437}{4527}MISS WHITE: Is there... anywhere else...
{4593}{4689}MISS WHITE: That we might get... our values?
{4946}{5044}MISS WHITE: Hmmm?|BOY (V/O): TV!
{5066}{5133}MISS WHITE: How about... books!
{5134}{5195}BOY: Oh, yeah. Books.
{5223}{5355}MISS WHITE: Now, do we always agree on, on... what values should be?
{5428}{5625}That was Joey Santano.|He'd always wait for Miss White to ask a really easy rhetorical question.
{5634}{5749}JOEY: Yes.|And then he'd get it wrong.
{5787}{5889}MISS WHITE: Anybody else?|MISS WHITE (V/O): Yes, Mr. Pfeiffer.
{5890}{5993}PAUL: No. (Smiles. )|MISS WHITE (V/O): Good! Now...
{5994}{6141}MISS WHITE: Do values change through time? Say, from generation to generation?
{6182}{6308}Christine Hansen.|She always gave these thoughtful, complete...
{6309}{6411}Downright inspired answers. She made us all sick.
{6412}{6600}But teachers loved her.|CHRISTINE: Yes, Miss White. Some values change from generation to generation.
{6601}{6679}CHRISTINE (V/O): But I think the really important ones...
{6680}{6753}CHRISTINE (V/O): Are the heart-felt human values.
{6754}{6865}CHRISTINE: And they stay the same throughout the ages.
{6875}{6972}MISS WHITE: That is very good, Christine, OK!
{7049}{7101}MISS WHITE: OK, now as we read...
{7102}{7196}MISS WHITE (V/O): As we evaluate those characters that we meet, how do we know...
{7197}{7393}MISS WHITE: Which values should change, and which values are, as Christine so eloquently put it... (Gestures. )
{7417}{7478}MISS WHITE (V/O): Heart-felt, and timeless?
{7479}{7588}That was a tough question in any time. But in 1968...
{7641}{7726}MISS WHITE: Yes, Christine!|CHRISTINE (V/O): Can I go to the bathroom?
{7727}{7841}In 1968, even Christine Hansen couldn't answer that one.
{7879}{7981}KAREN (V/O): "The answer is blowin' in the wind"
{8042}{8144}KAREN: "How many roads must a man walk down... "
{8146}{8278}And yet, in 1968, maybe more than ever, the question kept coming up.
{8343}{8460}Take that whole incident with my sister, Karen. And Louis.
{8479}{8627}For two weeks, all we heard about was "Louis says this", and "Louis says that".
{8667}{8725}And then one day...
{8772}{8836}We all got to meet him.
{9035}{9092}This... was Louis.
{9197}{9268}He was a junior at the State university...
{9269}{9353}An honor-student at political philosophy...
{9354}{9483}Active in student government and various non-profit social causes.
{9516}{9580}But I didn't know that.
{9654}{9799}All I knew...|Was that he was on my sister like mold on cheese.
{10212}{10315}I couldn't help feeling she needed my protection.
{10452}{10503}KEVIN: Go out.
{10808}{10857}KEVIN: Sorry!
{11442}{11556}I don't know what it was about Louis that I didn't like.
{11564}{11678}Guess there was something about him I didn't understand.
{11695}{11803}Something that was... taking my sister away from us.
{11810}{11886}TVMan: And leave my wife alone.
{12108}{12160}TVWoman: Steve!
{12288}{12347}KAREN (V/O): It's gonna be at the college, and it being a weeknight...
{12348}{12460}KAREN: And my parents, I mean... (Sighs. )|KAREN: It's just gonna be such a hassle.
{12461}{12537}LOUIS: Well, I know a few Viet Namese peasants who probably feel...
{12538}{12623}LOUIS (V/O): That's worth the hassle.|TVMan (V/O): Come here, you...
{12624}{12712}KAREN: Oh, I can't come march. Not tonight.
{12713}{12758}LOUIS: OK.
{12953}{13047}KAREN: Iced-tea OK?|LOUIS: Yeah, sure. Can I make a phone call?
{13048}{13096}KAREN: Sure.
{13192}{13293}KAREN: Kevin?! (Frowns. ) Can you turn that stupid thing down?
{13294}{13359}KEVIN: I was here first!|LOUIS: It's OK, Karen.
{13360}{13526}LOUIS: I sort of like watching these old Fascist films. Like parodies of themselves by now.
{13634}{13703}LOUIS (On phone): Hi! It's me.
{13704}{13772}LOUIS (On phone): Yeah, sure I had fun, Marissa.
{13773}{13867}Marissa? Did he say he had fun, with Marissa?
{13868}{14054}LOUIS (On phone): Tonite, seven-thirty... we're marchin' from Jenkins Hall to the administration building, and........ you what?
{14055}{14116}LOUIS (On phone): Of course you can crash at my place.
{14117}{14176}And that she could crash at his place?
{14177}{14271}LOUIS (On phone) (V/O): OK. Good. I love you too.
{14272}{14377}And that he loved her? I couldn't believe it - what a sicko.
{14378}{14510}It wasn't enough that this guy was all over my sister like a fungus in a damp basement.
{14511}{14623}No - he was a multi-basement kinda guy. I was outraged.
{14629}{14729}LOUIS (On phone): So, I'll pick ya up at seven.
{14901}{15042}KEVIN (As western hero): Louis? I'm gonna have to ask you to step outside.
{15049}{15144}LOUIS: But - what do ya mean?!|KEVIN (As western hero): I'm on to you, Louis. (Points. )
{15145}{15241}LOUIS: I-I don't know what you're talking about.|LOUIS: Ugh!
{15242}{15299}LOUIS: Ugh... ugh.
{15348}{15497}KEVIN (As western hero): Take that, you low-down, snake-bellied, lily-livered weirdo.
{15498}{15555}KAREN (V/O): Ahhh!
{15564}{15672}KEVIN (As western hero): Sorry, sis. He was no good.
{15700}{15814}KAREN: Oh, Kevin! I'm so glad I have a brother like you!
{15817}{15923}KAREN: I'm gonna make your bed for you from now on.
{15949}{16055}LOUIS (V/O): Can I help you?|KEVIN: Who's Marissa?
{16056}{16182}LOUIS: A friend... (Smiles. )|KEVIN: What kind of friend?
{16201}{16270}LOUIS: Are you asking if she's my lover?
{16271}{16353}Ughhhh... Did he have to use that word?
{16354}{16429}LOUIS: You must be Kevin, huh?
{16433}{16540}LOUIS: You must have heard me talking on the phone with Marissa.
{16541}{16646}LOUIS: You want to punch me? Do something violent?
{16672}{16791}LOUIS: Kevin, your...|LOUIS: Your sister and I... (gestures)... we love each other... (nods)... but it's, uh,
{16792}{16864}it's an open and trusting love.
{16865}{16973}LOUIS: We don't own one another like a farmer owns a cow.
{16974}{17104}LOUIS: You understand that?|KEVIN'S INNER-VOICE: Yeah. You're saying if it weren't for cattle-rustling laws,
{17105}{17192}you'd have cows sleeping over at your place, too.
{17193}{17254}LOUIS: Kevin, I can share love... with your sister... (Gestures. )
{17255}{17329}LOUIS: And she can share love with me. (Smiles. ) T
{17330}{17415}hat doesn't mean I can't share love with Marissa, too.
{17416}{17587}It sounded like a lot of sharing to me...|I had a hunch everybody was getting pretty small portions.
{17593}{17736}KEVIN: Does Karen know about this?|KAREN (V/O): Louis? Is he bugging you?
{17906}{18000}KAREN: Kevin. Do you think that maybe you could play somewhere else?
{18001}{18135}LOUIS: Oh, Karen, he's fine.|LOUIS: We were just talkin' about relationships.
{18210}{18306}LOUIS: Uh, I talked to Marissa - she can make it tonight.|KAREN: Oh, good.
{18307}{18425}KAREN (V/O): That makes me feel a little less guilty.|She really did know about Marissa.
{18426}{18546}OK - now I was officially confused.|I felt like I had to take action.
{18547}{18671}To... make a stand - to do something... But I had no idea what.
{18760}{18857}KAREN: Kevin? Are you just gonna stand there?
{19001}{19047}KEVIN: Yes.
{19692}{19753}KEVIN: Louis is here.
{19775}{19892}NORMA: Oh?|KEVIN: Yeah. He's in the living room.
{19893}{20008}KEVIN: With Karen.|NORMA: Hmmph.
{20043}{20115}KEVIN: Well, don't you want to meet him?
{20116}{20215}NORMA: I'm sure if your sister wants me to meet Louis, she'll introduce him.
{20216}{20294}I don't want to interfere in her life.
{20295}{20398}Oh, really? Would it help you to know that this guy is screwing around with half the State university system?
{20399}{20462}NORMA: What's he like? (Smiles. )|Bingo.
{20490}{20563}KEVIN: Disturbing... (Nods. )
{20620}{20743}NORMA: What kind of a word is that for you to use... "disturbing"?
{20744}{20891}KEVIN: I don't know.|NORMA: Well, what does that mean - "disturbing"? Kevin?!
{20892}{20996}NORMA (V/O): What does that mean?|KEVIN: OK! Don't get mad at me!
{20997}{21103}Heh- heh-heh. If I couldn't stop this guy myself...
{21104}{21195}I could at least get the troops fired up.
{21297}{21409}KAREN (V/O): Mom, this is Louis. Louis, this is my Mom.
{21445}{21524}NORMA: Well, hi, Louis.|NORMA (V/O): It's nice to meet you.
{21525}{21572}KAREN (V/O): Mom? Do we have any carrots?
{21573}{21707}NORMA: Yes, honey, we have carrots. But I thought it might be nice... (gestures)... if I said hello to your... friend.
{21708}{21792}LOUIS: It's really nice to meet you.
{21801}{21894}NORMA (V/O): So, uh, I'm making dinner, now, Louis. There's plenty of chicken if you'd like to stay.
{21895}{21952}LOUIS: That's very nice of you...|LOUIS (V/O): But, actually, um...
{21953}{22052}KAREN: Louis doesn't eat meat, Mom.|LOUIS (V/O): It's no big deal.
{22053}{22146}LOUIS: I just have some qualms with the way livestock's raised. That's all.
{22147}{22307}NORMA: Well... you're more than welcome to stay and fill up on salad and vegetables if you like. (Smiles. )
{22308}{22440}LOUIS: Well thanks!|LOUIS: Maybe, uh, maybe I'll take you up on that.
{22632}{22732}NORMA: So... you don't eat any meat?|LOUIS: No, I really don't.
{22733}{22883}Hah!|My mother was going to expose this guy for the weirdo he was.
{22884}{22973}LOUIS (V/O): Mrs. Arnold... what do you do?
{22974}{23093}NORMA: I beg your pardon? (Frowns. )|LOUIS: I mean, you know, for a living?
{23094}{23196}NORMA: Oh... of course... right. For a living...
{23213}{23322}NORMA: Nothing. (Shrugs. ) I mean... I'm a housewife.
{23353}{23437}LOUIS: That's certainly not nothing.
{23440}{23506}NORMA: No... you're right about that.
{23507}{23573}NORMA: God knows... it's demanding at times.
{23574}{23673}LOUIS (V/O): I'll bet. You find it fulfilling?
{23700}{23757}NORMA: Fulfilling?
{23828}{23893}Who the hell did this guy think he was?
{23894}{23990}Asking my mother if her life was fulfilling?
{23990}{24080}NORMA: I guess I've never really thought about that. (Smiles. )
{24081}{24184}KAREN: Maybe you should, Mom.|Yikes.
{24263}{24328}LOUIS (V/O): Did you go to college, Mrs. Arnold?
{24329}{24412}NORMA: Oh, yes, I was a... history major in college. (Smiles. )
{24413}{24551}But I... met Karen's father in my Freshman year, so I, I never finished.
{24563}{24631}LOUIS: You regret not finishing?
{24632}{24686}NORMA: Oh, no...
{24703}{24812}LOUIS (V/O): Wow. That's great.|LOUIS: I mean... a lot of women find it demeaning,
{24813}{24887}spending their lives serving their husbands and children.
{24888}{24939}OK - look out.
{24954}{25030}Mom is gonna nail this guy now.
{25088}{25204}NORMA (V/O): Uhhhh! Oh, my God!|NORMA: Oh, I am so sorry!
{25208}{25348}NORMA: And you being a vegetarian and everything. I'm sorry - I'm such a klutz.
{25349}{25460}I couldn't believe it. Why was she apologizing to him?
{25469}{25545}KEVIN: My mom likes serving us!
{25644}{25715}JACK: Hi, Louis. Nice to meet you.
{25716}{25850}Things were gonna be OK...|Dad would take care of this guy.
{25865}{25966}JACK (V/O): No chicken?|KEVIN: Louis doesn't eat meat, Dad.
{25967}{26084}Hey, just thought I'd mention it.|JACK: No meat, Louis?
{26085}{26181}LOUIS: No. Meat, uh, meat just doesn't turn me on, really. (Smiles. )
{26182}{26293}JACK: No meat, huh?|JACK: Imagine that.
{26294}{26468}I knew it.|Dad would carve through this guy like a butcher carves through a pork loin.
{26474}{26565}NORMA: Oh, I heard, honey, why the Vandover's didn't go to Brian's funeral.
{26566}{26668}NORMA: They were in Chicago. (Frowns. ) Dick's mother had a stroke. (Nods. )
{26669}{26733}JACK: Mmm... (Frowns. )
{26740}{26856}NORMA: One of the boys on our block was killed in Viet Nam several weeks ago.
{26857}{26998}LOUIS: Oh, I-I know. I mean, uh, Karen told me. Another meaningless death.
{27097}{27150}JACK: I beg you pardon?
{27151}{27325}LOUIS: I-I just meant that... it's just a shame, uh... a kid has to die for basically no reason.
{27507}{27574}NORMA: More broccoli, anyone?
{27575}{27696}JACK: I don't think it's meaningless...|JACK: When a young man dies for freedom and for his country.
{27697}{27879}LOUIS: I just have a little trouble... justifying dying for a government that systematically represses its citizens.
{27880}{27963}NORMA: Oh, honey. Try the potatoes - I put grated cheese on them. (Smiles. )
{27964}{28099}JACK: What the hell is that supposed to mean?|KAREN: It means the United States government is responsible...
{28100}{28187}KAREN: For the oppression of blacks, women, free speech... (Gestures. )
{28188}{28259}JACK: Well perhaps, little lady, you'd like to go live in Russia for a little while...
{28260}{28305}LOUIS: Oh, uh... I think what Karen is saying is that -|JACK (V/O): Hah?
{28306}{28426}JACK (V/O): Look, buster!|JACK: I happen to believe that freedom and democracy...
{28427}{28493}JACK: Have certain advantages that Communist dictatorships don't,
{28494}{28565}and that is what Viet Nam is all about!
{28566}{28714}LOUIS (V/O): No, man, that's what they brainwash you to believe it's all about.
{29032}{29138}JACK: So... you think I've been brainwashed, do you, Louis?
{29139}{29201}LOUIS: No. No. Look... (Gestures. )
{29202}{29389}LOUIS: I think anyone... who supports the American war effort in Viet Nam... (shrugs)... is having the wool pulled over his eyes.
{29390}{29538}JACK: I see...|LOUIS (V/O): Just like they did with Korea.
{29545}{29700}JACK: What the hell do you know about Korea? I was in Korea. I lost a lot of good friends there.
{29701}{29777}KAREN (V/O): Daddy, that doesn't have anything to do with what we're saying.
{29778}{29848}JACK (V/O): And they weren't brainwashed!
{29849}{29929}JACK: They were brave men who weren't afraid to fight for what they believed in.
{29930}{30033}(Gestures. ) Now if you're afraid to fight - why don't you just say so?! Why don't you just admit you're chicken?! (Frowns. )
{30034}{30196}LOUIS: You're damned right!|LOUIS: I am chicken. I don't want to die like your friends!
{30230}{30419}LOUIS (V/O): What do you think that you achieved over there? Hmm? Do you think that those people are free?
{30421}{30494}LOUIS: They're not free, man.
{30651}{30721}JACK: That's crap!|LOUIS (V/O): You were used, man, and your friends were used.
{30722}{30802}JACK (V/O): That's crap!|KAREN (V/O): Daddy, you never listen to what we say!
{30803}{30865}KAREN (V/O): Some of what we say is true!
{30866}{30983}LOUIS: Don't accept all this death and then justify it. It is wrong! (Frowns. )
{30984}{31180}LOUIS: Your friends should be alive - they should be... (gestures)... enjoying dinner, and arguing with their kids, just like you are.
{31181}{31315}JACK: What do you know about it?! Who the hell are you to say that?! (Frowns. )
{31316}{31392}LOUIS (V/O): You see this, man?
{31519}{31618}LOUIS: This is my draft notice.|LOUIS: In two weeks...
{31619}{31686}LOUIS: I can go to jail...
{31687}{31786}LOUIS: I can go to Canada... (gestures)... or I can go get shot...
{31787}{31893}LOUIS: Full of holes...|LOUIS: Like your friend Brian Cooper.
{31939}{32044}LOUIS (V/O): You keep thinking the way you do, Mr. Arnold...
{32045}{32135}LOUIS (V/O): And these two will be next.
{32162}{32268}LOUIS (V/O): And I just hope that's what they want.
{32274}{32343}LOUIS: Excuse me. (Nods. )
{32611}{32733}And so, after all...|Karen left with Louis.
{32802}{32869}And Dad, and Mom and I...
{32875}{32947}Were left with our thoughts.
{33356}{33432}WAYNE: Can I have her potatoes?
{33469}{33535}And Wayne was left...|With himself.
{33996}{34075}Who was right, and who was wrong?
{34120}{34271}Well, I'm supposed to be an adult now, and I still can't completely figure that one out.
{34272}{34444}But at some point, late at night, near sleep, the ideas and the disagreements sort of dissolve,
{34487}{34572}and you're just left with the people.
{34692}{34801}And people were no different then, as they've always been.
{34802}{34860}And always will be.
{34970}{35118}KAREN: You told me you loved her. You never told me you were sleeping with her.
{35473}{35557}Young girls get their hearts broken.
{35694}{35811}Men and women suffer alone, over the choices they've made.
{36086}{36170}And young boys, full of confusion...
{36184}{36278}Full of fear... full of love and courage...
{36356}{36437}Grow up stealthily in their sleep.
