1
00:00:01,812 --> 00:00:07,092
In the spring of nineteen seventy-three,
the Arnold family took to the skies.

2
00:00:07,132 --> 00:00:11,252
Armed with four coach tickets and
enough luggage to sink a battleship...

3
00:00:11,292 --> 00:00:13,492
We were on our way to
a weekend of high-adventure.

4
00:00:13,532 --> 00:00:15,692
- Can I get some more peanuts, please?
- Sure.

5
00:00:15,732 --> 00:00:16,172
Thanks.

6
00:00:16,212 --> 00:00:18,652
That year had seen a lot of change.

7
00:00:18,692 --> 00:00:22,612
I was practically a senior -
once I got through exams.

8
00:00:22,652 --> 00:00:27,572
Mom had joined the ranks of working
women - whether we liked it or not.

9
00:00:27,612 --> 00:00:31,132
Dad's furniture business was thriving.

10
00:00:31,172 --> 00:00:33,892
Although he wasn't at the moment.

11
00:00:33,932 --> 00:00:37,732
Still all in all, things were
pretty much...smooth sailing.

12
00:00:37,772 --> 00:00:40,212
- Did ya feel that?
- Yep.

13
00:00:40,252 --> 00:00:42,692
Hope it wasn't the engine.

14
00:00:42,732 --> 00:00:43,572
Ooooh...

15
00:00:43,612 --> 00:00:50,772
Not that we ventured into the friendly skies
without a reason. We were on our way home.

16
00:00:50,812 --> 00:00:52,332
Well, Mom's home, anyway.

17
00:00:52,332 --> 00:00:57,372
Look, Jack! Sylvia Miller's chairing
the reunion committee.

18
00:00:57,412 --> 00:01:00,732
I haven't seen her in twenty five years!

19
00:01:00,772 --> 00:01:03,652
You got it -
my mother's high school reunion.

20
00:01:03,692 --> 00:01:06,532
Oh, look, honey - there's going
to be a picnic on Saturday...

21
00:01:06,572 --> 00:01:08,492
and a pie-eating contest!

22
00:01:08,532 --> 00:01:10,492
Norma - please...

23
00:01:11,812 --> 00:01:15,212
Hey...wasn't that the wing?

24
00:01:15,252 --> 00:01:16,532
Yeah, it was gonna be...

25
00:01:16,572 --> 00:01:17,812
Some fun...

26
00:01:17,852 --> 00:01:19,012
It'll be fine.

27
00:01:19,052 --> 00:01:19,972
Ladies and gentlemen...

28
00:01:20,012 --> 00:01:21,252
Yeah...

29
00:01:21,252 --> 00:01:25,652
After all, this was more than
just a trip back in time.

30
00:01:25,692 --> 00:01:27,652
We were headed home to family.

31
00:01:27,692 --> 00:01:29,532
Are we there yet?

32
00:01:29,572 --> 00:01:31,692
Mother!

33
00:01:31,732 --> 00:01:33,492
Welcome home!

34
00:01:33,532 --> 00:01:37,812
- Look at the two of you!
- How's my little girl?

35
00:01:37,852 --> 00:01:40,692
Look at those fine grandsons of mine!

36
00:01:40,732 --> 00:01:43,852
I almost didn't recognize 'em!

37
00:01:43,852 --> 00:01:44,772
Hi, Grandma...

38
00:01:44,812 --> 00:01:47,412
Oh, Kevin, you've certainly grown...

39
00:01:47,452 --> 00:01:49,292
Since I saw you the last time.

40
00:01:49,332 --> 00:01:51,172
Well, you know
it's been a long time, Grandma...

41
00:01:51,212 --> 00:01:53,012
Homecoming at the grand-parents.

44
00:01:58,732 --> 00:02:00,252
Hi!

45
00:02:00,292 --> 00:02:02,012
How's everybody?

46
00:02:02,052 --> 00:02:03,972
Maybe there was a reason.

47
00:02:06,572 --> 00:02:08,732
Well, why don't we come on inside?

48
00:02:08,772 --> 00:02:10,852
You must be exhausted from your trip.

49
00:02:10,892 --> 00:02:12,572
Come on, come on...

50
00:02:12,612 --> 00:02:14,772
Maybe it was Dad.

51
00:02:14,812 --> 00:02:15,052
Well...

52
00:02:15,052 --> 00:02:20,012
Better get that luggage inside, before
some of the local kids make off with it.

53
00:02:22,652 --> 00:02:23,172
Yeah.

54
00:02:23,212 --> 00:02:29,132
Oh, just look at all this!
It's exactly the same! The smell even.

55
00:02:29,172 --> 00:02:31,812
Your mother's been cooking for days.

56
00:02:31,852 --> 00:02:34,412
Nothing's too good for my little girl.

57
00:02:34,452 --> 00:02:35,532
Oh, Mom...

58
00:02:35,532 --> 00:02:37,092
You could say this for the oldsters...

59
00:02:37,132 --> 00:02:39,372
They loved their only daughter.

60
00:02:39,412 --> 00:02:41,852
If not their only son-in-law.

61
00:02:41,892 --> 00:02:43,852
Here we are...

62
00:02:43,892 --> 00:02:46,052
Well, how was the trip?

63
00:02:46,092 --> 00:02:47,612
Uh, it was...

64
00:02:47,652 --> 00:02:48,292
OK.

65
00:02:48,332 --> 00:02:49,172
Except...

66
00:02:49,212 --> 00:02:51,452
Dad got a little sick.

67
00:02:51,492 --> 00:02:54,252
Well, uh...It's just that the flight
was a little bumpy, Mom.

68
00:02:54,292 --> 00:02:56,972
You're not going to
get sick again, are you?

69
00:02:57,012 --> 00:02:59,052
No, I don't think so.

70
00:02:59,092 --> 00:03:03,652
Because Roger gave us
this great antacid.

71
00:03:03,652 --> 00:03:05,812
It's good for diarrhea, too.

72
00:03:05,812 --> 00:03:07,292
No, really...

73
00:03:07,332 --> 00:03:10,172
- I'm just...
- Roger's a doctor, you know...

74
00:03:10,172 --> 00:03:14,332
Mother... Roger's been a doctor
for fifteen years, now.

75
00:03:14,332 --> 00:03:16,172
And a darned good one.

76
00:03:16,212 --> 00:03:17,972
He's just been named...

77
00:03:18,012 --> 00:03:22,812
Chief-of-staff...at County General!

78
00:03:22,852 --> 00:03:25,012
Isn't that impressive?

79
00:03:25,052 --> 00:03:27,892
And, of course,
it was very impressive.

80
00:03:27,932 --> 00:03:30,572
Just one little question, here.

81
00:03:30,572 --> 00:03:33,012
Who's Roger?

82
00:03:33,052 --> 00:03:34,492
A long time ago...

83
00:03:34,532 --> 00:03:35,212
Mother...

84
00:03:35,252 --> 00:03:38,772
We don't have to get into
this right now, do we?

85
00:03:38,812 --> 00:03:40,052
I suppose not.

86
00:03:40,092 --> 00:03:42,652
Besides, we should probably
unpack before dinner.

87
00:03:42,692 --> 00:03:44,052
Don't ya think, honey?

88
00:03:44,092 --> 00:03:45,572
Yeah. Sure.

89
00:03:45,612 --> 00:03:47,052
So, Jack, uh...

90
00:03:47,092 --> 00:03:49,092
Been workin' on your gin game?

91
00:03:49,492 --> 00:03:51,292
Yeah. Sure.

92
00:03:51,332 --> 00:03:52,532
Good.

93
00:03:52,572 --> 00:03:58,252
Cuz I thought after dinner, you and I might
have a friendly little game...what do you say?

94
00:03:58,252 --> 00:03:59,732
Fine, Karl...

95
00:03:59,772 --> 00:04:01,732
Fine.

96
00:04:01,772 --> 00:04:03,732
Yeah - ya had to hand it to Dad.

97
00:04:03,772 --> 00:04:07,372
No matter how cold the shoulder...
he hung in there.

98
00:04:07,412 --> 00:04:09,172
Like a man at the gallows.

99
00:04:09,212 --> 00:04:11,292
Where do I put these?

100
00:04:11,332 --> 00:04:15,092
Why, in Norma's old room, of course.

101
00:04:15,132 --> 00:04:18,212
Just wait till you see it!

102
00:04:19,932 --> 00:04:23,092
Daddy and I haven't changed it one bit!

103
00:04:23,132 --> 00:04:26,012
This was fun.
Sorta like visiting a museum.

104
00:04:26,052 --> 00:04:27,092
Look!

105
00:04:27,132 --> 00:04:30,292
The Norma Gustafson memorial shrine.

106
00:04:30,332 --> 00:04:33,492
Mother, I can't believe you kept these!

107
00:04:33,492 --> 00:04:35,172
Oh, Jack, look!

108
00:04:35,212 --> 00:04:37,892
My sixth-grade citizenship ribbon.

109
00:04:37,932 --> 00:04:40,612
I was proud of my little girl...

110
00:04:40,652 --> 00:04:42,492
Still am...

111
00:04:42,532 --> 00:04:46,132
You should hear him brag to
the boys in Kiwanis about...

112
00:04:46,172 --> 00:04:48,052
That new job.

113
00:04:48,092 --> 00:04:50,132
Always knew she'd end up...

114
00:04:50,132 --> 00:04:52,492
Being something important.

115
00:04:52,532 --> 00:04:54,812
No matter what got in her way.

116
00:04:55,972 --> 00:04:59,852
All in all,
kinda reminded you of the Walton's.

117
00:05:00,972 --> 00:05:04,212
I hope you two are
gonna be comfortable here.

118
00:05:04,212 --> 00:05:06,932
We only have the one bed.

119
00:05:09,052 --> 00:05:11,652
So, uh...where do we sleep, Grandma?

120
00:05:11,692 --> 00:05:14,092
Down the hall in the guestroom. Just uh...

121
00:05:14,132 --> 00:05:17,412
right down the hall
and to the left.

122
00:05:17,452 --> 00:05:18,372
Great.

123
00:05:18,412 --> 00:05:22,412
After all, no sense hanging around
all that hostility.

124
00:05:25,532 --> 00:05:31,012
Oh, there she is. Boys...
I'd like you to meet Princess.

125
00:05:31,012 --> 00:05:32,972
She's a little shy around new folk.

126
00:05:33,012 --> 00:05:34,412
Aren't ya, girl?

127
00:05:38,452 --> 00:05:40,732
And so, here we were.

128
00:05:40,772 --> 00:05:43,612
One big happy family.

129
00:05:44,772 --> 00:05:46,652
Plus beast.

130
00:05:47,052 --> 00:05:49,892
Eagerly catching up
on one another's lives.

131
00:05:49,892 --> 00:05:51,692
Furniture, huh?

132
00:05:51,732 --> 00:05:52,772
What?

133
00:05:52,812 --> 00:05:57,252
Oh, I was just telling Daddy how well
your furniture business is doing, honey.

134
00:05:57,292 --> 00:06:00,012
Uh...yeah,
we've been pretty successful so far.

135
00:06:00,052 --> 00:06:02,692
I don't hold much truck
with this new stuff.

136
00:06:02,732 --> 00:06:06,532
In my day...people knew how...
to build furniture.

137
00:06:06,572 --> 00:06:07,892
Take this table.

138
00:06:09,092 --> 00:06:10,932
Solid. Made to last.

139
00:06:10,972 --> 00:06:16,492
Had it since we were married.
It'll be here for you boys when I'm gone.

140
00:06:17,332 --> 00:06:18,372
Woops.

141
00:06:18,412 --> 00:06:19,612
What was that again?

142
00:06:19,652 --> 00:06:21,812
Daddy, don't talk like that.

143
00:06:21,852 --> 00:06:26,492
Well, it's true...you boys'll be
gettin' this place one day...

144
00:06:26,532 --> 00:06:28,292
Really?

145
00:06:28,332 --> 00:06:30,292
You mean...this house?

146
00:06:30,332 --> 00:06:31,052
Yeah.

147
00:06:31,092 --> 00:06:34,852
And everything in it. Hell,
I gotta leave it to someone.

148
00:06:34,892 --> 00:06:38,012
And I'm not gonna be around
forever, ya know.

149
00:06:41,772 --> 00:06:44,292
Thanks, Gramps. You're the best.

150
00:06:44,332 --> 00:06:46,332
Now, now, sweetheart.

151
00:06:46,332 --> 00:06:51,932
You don't have to worry about Daddy.
Not as long as he has Roger as a doctor.

152
00:06:51,972 --> 00:06:54,052
He's quite a guy...

153
00:06:54,052 --> 00:06:56,092
He certainly is.

154
00:06:56,092 --> 00:06:57,412
And there it was.

155
00:06:57,452 --> 00:06:58,972
Roger again.

156
00:06:59,012 --> 00:07:02,492
Mother, we don't have to hear
more about Roger. Do we?

157
00:07:02,532 --> 00:07:04,732
Of course not, dear.

158
00:07:05,692 --> 00:07:07,172
There he is now.

159
00:07:07,212 --> 00:07:10,132
He can tell you himself.

160
00:07:11,772 --> 00:07:15,612
Oh... Good...

161
00:07:15,612 --> 00:07:18,052
That evening was like
the tea party from hell.

162
00:07:18,092 --> 00:07:19,292
Kevin...

163
00:07:19,332 --> 00:07:21,852
Weren't they a striking couple?

164
00:07:21,852 --> 00:07:24,532
Grandma played match-maker...

165
00:07:24,532 --> 00:07:26,532
Roger played bigshot...

166
00:07:26,572 --> 00:07:28,852
While my brother played...

167
00:07:28,892 --> 00:07:31,132
That's a nice frame, Grandma.

168
00:07:31,172 --> 00:07:33,212
What is that - pewter?

169
00:07:33,252 --> 00:07:34,892
Gin! Aha!

170
00:07:34,932 --> 00:07:38,972
Well, it looks like you're down
another forty points, Jack.

171
00:07:39,012 --> 00:07:40,372
As for Dad...

172
00:07:40,412 --> 00:07:43,772
Honey, everybody's
going to be so thrilled...

173
00:07:43,812 --> 00:07:46,652
To see you two at the picnic tomorrow.

174
00:07:46,692 --> 00:07:50,012
Jack and I
wouldn't miss it for the world.

175
00:07:50,052 --> 00:07:53,012
I meant you and Roger, dear.

176
00:07:53,052 --> 00:07:57,172
You know, sometimes I wonder what might have
happened if I hadn't gone away to medical school.

177
00:07:57,212 --> 00:07:59,452
OK...

178
00:07:59,492 --> 00:08:03,652
It was clear the big guy had had
his fill of this malarkey.

179
00:08:05,012 --> 00:08:07,332
I'm goin' to bed.

180
00:08:07,372 --> 00:08:10,812
Night, honey. Get some rest.

181
00:08:10,852 --> 00:08:12,012
Goodnight, Jack.

182
00:08:12,052 --> 00:08:14,412
Yeah.

183
00:08:14,452 --> 00:08:15,812
And there ya had it.

184
00:08:15,852 --> 00:08:20,892
What had begun as a simple trip home
...was suddenly turning into...

185
00:08:23,012 --> 00:08:26,492
Nightmare on Gustafson Street.

186
00:08:26,532 --> 00:08:29,172
And the worst part was...
I was the only one...

187
00:08:29,212 --> 00:08:30,652
Who seemed to notice.

188
00:08:30,692 --> 00:08:32,052
Uh, uh, butthead...

189
00:08:32,092 --> 00:08:40,172
This place is a gold mine. Uh, you should see the
stuff they got stashed in the attic. Genuine antiques.

190
00:08:40,212 --> 00:08:42,372
We're gonna be rich!

191
00:08:43,092 --> 00:08:45,212
Maybe so, maybe not.

192
00:08:46,092 --> 00:08:49,292
You're very sweet, Roger.

193
00:08:49,332 --> 00:08:50,452
Great.

194
00:08:50,492 --> 00:08:53,012
All I knew was...standing there...

195
00:08:53,052 --> 00:08:58,812
Watching Mom spoon with her high school
sweetheart... hearing Dad snore in the next room...

196
00:08:58,852 --> 00:09:02,292
Listening to
Wayne count his tax-breaks...

197
00:09:02,332 --> 00:09:05,772
Suddenly, one thing was clear.

198
00:09:07,532 --> 00:09:11,332
I...

199
00:09:11,372 --> 00:09:13,772
Was gonna sleep on the floor.

200
00:09:13,972 --> 00:09:18,532
And let's give a special welcome to the Wildcat who
travelled the greatest distance to be with us today

201
00:09:18,572 --> 00:09:22,692
...from fifty-five hundred miles away
...Jill Pritchard!

202
00:09:22,732 --> 00:09:26,612
The next day, amid pompoms
and hairspray and old memories...

203
00:09:26,652 --> 00:09:28,812
The class of forty-eight gathered.

204
00:09:28,852 --> 00:09:32,612
Remember when we just sat there on that
float, while the parade went by without us?

205
00:09:32,652 --> 00:09:34,852
It was all pretty...festive.

206
00:09:34,892 --> 00:09:39,172
Now, Norma, weren't you the one that convinced
those policeman to tow us the rest of the way?

207
00:09:39,212 --> 00:09:40,612
Yeah...I think I was.

208
00:09:40,652 --> 00:09:43,412
While Mom was having
the time of her teenage life...

209
00:09:43,452 --> 00:09:46,172
The Arnold men were getting old - fast.

210
00:09:46,212 --> 00:09:48,292
This is a lot of fun.

211
00:09:48,332 --> 00:09:50,372
Can I borrow the car?

212
00:09:50,372 --> 00:09:51,972
What? Why?

213
00:09:52,012 --> 00:09:53,972
Well, I think I should spend
more time with Grandpa -

214
00:09:54,012 --> 00:09:56,452
he won't be around forever, ya know.

215
00:09:58,212 --> 00:10:00,332
He said so himself.

216
00:10:00,372 --> 00:10:03,412
What are you gonna do -
count the silverware?

217
00:10:03,452 --> 00:10:04,652
I'm on to the china.

218
00:10:04,692 --> 00:10:06,612
I want ya back in two hours.

219
00:10:06,652 --> 00:10:08,292
No problem. Yes!

220
00:10:08,332 --> 00:10:10,852
Which pretty much narrowed it
down to the two of us.

221
00:10:10,892 --> 00:10:12,212
Hey, fellas...

222
00:10:12,252 --> 00:10:13,252
Roger.

223
00:10:13,292 --> 00:10:14,252
Hi.

224
00:10:14,252 --> 00:10:15,372
Great turnout.

225
00:10:15,412 --> 00:10:16,612
Yeah...

226
00:10:16,652 --> 00:10:19,372
That contest should be starting soon.
You game?

227
00:10:19,372 --> 00:10:20,532
I think I'll pass.

228
00:10:20,572 --> 00:10:25,452
Right. Can't say as I blame ya.
If I didn't work out like a madman...

229
00:10:25,452 --> 00:10:27,052
I wouldn't dare enter, myself.

230
00:10:27,092 --> 00:10:28,532
No comment.

231
00:10:28,572 --> 00:10:29,932
So, this, uh...

232
00:10:29,972 --> 00:10:32,172
Furniture business of yours...
I understand it's...

233
00:10:32,212 --> 00:10:34,212
Handcrafted work.

234
00:10:34,252 --> 00:10:34,892
Yeah...

235
00:10:34,932 --> 00:10:38,732
We use, uh...hardwood frames...
dowels in all the joints...

236
00:10:38,772 --> 00:10:41,612
So, what'd you have to do for that -
go to, um...furniture school?

237
00:10:41,652 --> 00:10:44,652
Ah-ha-ha-ha...

238
00:10:44,692 --> 00:10:47,652
I'm getting a beer...

239
00:10:47,692 --> 00:10:52,372
Great. He gets a cold brew...I get
to schmooze with Doctor Wonderful.

240
00:10:53,772 --> 00:10:56,972
That is one exceptional lady,
your mother.

241
00:10:57,012 --> 00:10:59,132
You gotta wonder what might have been.

242
00:10:59,172 --> 00:11:00,372
Who knows...

243
00:11:00,372 --> 00:11:02,732
A few different turns
in the road, and...

244
00:11:02,772 --> 00:11:05,052
You might have been my son.

245
00:11:06,732 --> 00:11:10,532
Kinda made you want to reconsider
the whole science of genetics.

246
00:11:10,572 --> 00:11:13,532
Ladies and gentlemen.
Uh, please take you positions...

247
00:11:13,572 --> 00:11:15,932
For the start of the sack race.

248
00:11:15,932 --> 00:11:17,292
And speaking of potatoes...

249
00:11:17,292 --> 00:11:19,532
Come on, Dad!

250
00:11:19,572 --> 00:11:21,732
Go, Jack!

251
00:11:21,772 --> 00:11:22,652
It seemed the old man...

252
00:11:22,692 --> 00:11:26,012
Hadn't completely abandoned the field.

253
00:11:26,052 --> 00:11:28,212
Need a bigger sack, there, Jack?

254
00:11:28,252 --> 00:11:30,652
After all, when push came to shove...

255
00:11:30,692 --> 00:11:31,772
This'll do fine.

256
00:11:31,812 --> 00:11:34,972
Dad was never one
to turn down a challenge.

257
00:11:36,052 --> 00:11:38,412
No matter how stupid.

258
00:11:45,692 --> 00:11:46,612
- Go, Jack!
- Go, Dad!

259
00:11:46,652 --> 00:11:50,692
And so began the great burlap
grudge-match of nineteen-seventy-three.

260
00:11:50,732 --> 00:11:52,252
Be careful, Jack!

261
00:11:52,292 --> 00:11:55,652
It was a battle for honor,
reputation, glory.

262
00:11:55,692 --> 00:11:57,732
A fight to the finish.

263
00:12:00,172 --> 00:12:01,612
It was the stuff of legends.

264
00:12:01,652 --> 00:12:04,652
Go, Dad! Come on!

265
00:12:10,532 --> 00:12:13,852
And in the end...
it all hinged on one thing.

266
00:12:13,892 --> 00:12:15,852
Oooh...

267
00:12:15,892 --> 00:12:17,812
Ugh...

268
00:12:17,852 --> 00:12:19,972
My father's bad back.

269
00:12:20,012 --> 00:12:20,852
Does that hurt?

270
00:12:20,892 --> 00:12:21,852
Ah!

271
00:12:21,892 --> 00:12:22,812
Ohh!

272
00:12:22,852 --> 00:12:25,132
Thought it might.

273
00:12:25,172 --> 00:12:26,372
A little doctor humor...

274
00:12:26,412 --> 00:12:28,092
Yeah, thanks.

275
00:12:28,132 --> 00:12:31,492
Well, I'm afraid this means...
no dancing tonight.

276
00:12:31,532 --> 00:12:34,092
Oh...that's too bad.

277
00:12:34,132 --> 00:12:35,732
Anyway, I'll call ya tomorrow...

278
00:12:35,772 --> 00:12:37,212
See how he's feeling.

279
00:12:37,212 --> 00:12:38,092
Thanks, Roger.

280
00:12:38,092 --> 00:12:38,972
Sure.

281
00:12:39,012 --> 00:12:40,172
And there ya had it.

282
00:12:40,212 --> 00:12:44,092
An inglorious end to an even more
inglorious weekend.

283
00:12:44,132 --> 00:12:45,332
Bye!

284
00:12:45,372 --> 00:12:49,452
Not that I was particularly sorry
to see this whole charade over with.

285
00:12:49,492 --> 00:12:52,372
Isn't this...
always the way?

286
00:12:53,292 --> 00:12:54,972
What do you mean, Mother?

287
00:12:55,012 --> 00:13:00,492
You travel all the way out here.
And just when the good times begin...

288
00:13:00,532 --> 00:13:02,732
Somebody ruins it.

289
00:13:03,652 --> 00:13:06,812
Our poor little girl's
gonna miss her big evening.

290
00:13:06,812 --> 00:13:10,012
It's a shame, alright.

291
00:13:11,212 --> 00:13:13,452
Jeez - talk about compassion.

292
00:13:13,492 --> 00:13:16,692
Look...
It's just a dance, right?

293
00:13:16,692 --> 00:13:19,852
I mean, if he can't go, he can't go.

294
00:13:19,892 --> 00:13:23,372
Norma, I think you should go.

295
00:13:23,412 --> 00:13:24,252
Jack...

296
00:13:24,292 --> 00:13:25,892
You can't even move.

297
00:13:25,932 --> 00:13:28,372
Your mother's right.
It's your big night.

298
00:13:28,412 --> 00:13:31,252
We came all this way...

299
00:13:31,292 --> 00:13:34,212
You shouldn't miss it because of me.
You should go.

300
00:13:34,252 --> 00:13:36,692
Absolutely not.

301
00:13:38,412 --> 00:13:41,132
Maybe Roger could take you.

302
00:13:41,852 --> 00:13:43,292
What?!

303
00:13:43,332 --> 00:13:46,412
That's a good idea!

304
00:13:46,452 --> 00:13:49,692
And with that, the wheels came off.

305
00:13:52,012 --> 00:13:54,092
The date was made.

306
00:13:56,052 --> 00:13:59,172
OK, there he is...

307
00:13:59,212 --> 00:14:02,492
Well, I guess it's time for me to go.

308
00:14:02,532 --> 00:14:05,532
That evening,
while the rest of us stayed home...

309
00:14:05,572 --> 00:14:07,772
Oh, honey, you're sure this is OK?

310
00:14:07,812 --> 00:14:09,012
Absolutely.

311
00:14:09,052 --> 00:14:11,652
Awright, then. Bye.

312
00:14:11,692 --> 00:14:14,212
Don't be too late.

313
00:14:14,252 --> 00:14:18,012
I watched my mother waltz out
the door for the night of her life.

314
00:14:18,052 --> 00:14:21,132
Gin!

315
00:14:21,172 --> 00:14:26,612
And for all that,
Dad's only response was...

316
00:14:26,652 --> 00:14:28,212
Your deal or mine?

317
00:14:29,532 --> 00:14:31,852
Face it - nothing made sense.

318
00:14:31,892 --> 00:14:35,052
Suddenly everything seemed...
up for grabs.

319
00:14:35,092 --> 00:14:37,332
Hey, scrote?
Is pewter worth anything?

320
00:14:37,372 --> 00:14:41,972
I don't know. Hey, can you stop
the inventory for a minute?

321
00:14:42,012 --> 00:14:43,212
What's your problem?

322
00:14:43,252 --> 00:14:46,652
But it wasn't gonna be
easy to put into words.

323
00:14:46,852 --> 00:14:49,652
You think Mom's happy she married Dad?

324
00:14:49,692 --> 00:14:51,972
Yeah. Uh, of course.

325
00:14:52,852 --> 00:14:54,212
Really?

326
00:14:54,252 --> 00:14:55,532
Yeah.

327
00:14:55,572 --> 00:14:58,772
Otherwise, she couldn't have had me.

328
00:15:02,492 --> 00:15:04,292
Forget it.

329
00:15:06,892 --> 00:15:08,812
Hey, do me a favor?
See what's in the garage...

330
00:15:08,852 --> 00:15:11,092
Yeah. I'll do that.

331
00:15:12,492 --> 00:15:16,772
As luck would have it,
it was a beautiful spring evening.

332
00:15:18,892 --> 00:15:21,572
OK...This was the last straw.

333
00:15:21,612 --> 00:15:24,012
You know,
I've had just about enough of you.

334
00:15:24,052 --> 00:15:26,572
I mean you're all bark and no bite.
You're a fake.

335
00:15:26,612 --> 00:15:29,812
You don't scare anyone.
You know that?

336
00:15:29,852 --> 00:15:31,132
That's better.

337
00:15:32,652 --> 00:15:35,812
At least I had one victory
on this lousy trip.

338
00:15:40,852 --> 00:15:42,132
Whoa, girl.

339
00:15:46,732 --> 00:15:48,252
Help!

340
00:15:49,492 --> 00:15:54,292
Six picket fences, fourteen garbage
cans, and thirty two backyards later...

341
00:15:54,332 --> 00:15:55,532
It was official.

342
00:15:55,532 --> 00:15:56,932
This trip was a bust.

343
00:15:56,972 --> 00:15:58,452
Hey, butthead!

344
00:15:58,492 --> 00:16:00,092
What happened to you?

345
00:16:00,132 --> 00:16:03,252
The dog and I took a three-hour tour
of the neighborhood.

346
00:16:03,292 --> 00:16:06,772
Gin! That's three straight hands! Hah!

347
00:16:06,812 --> 00:16:09,332
Yeah, ya got me again, Karl.

348
00:16:09,372 --> 00:16:13,492
My mother was AWOL...my father
had turned into a punching bag...

349
00:16:13,532 --> 00:16:16,132
Well, I better turn in.

350
00:16:16,172 --> 00:16:19,292
I haven't been feeling
quite up to par, lately.

351
00:16:19,332 --> 00:16:20,052
And my brother...

352
00:16:20,092 --> 00:16:23,172
Gee, Gramps -
I hope it's nothing serious.

353
00:16:23,172 --> 00:16:25,132
Had become a ghoul.

354
00:16:25,172 --> 00:16:27,452
Oh, I wouldn't worry, Wayne.

355
00:16:27,492 --> 00:16:30,892
Us Gustafson's are
made of strong stock.

356
00:16:30,932 --> 00:16:35,052
Hadn't been a one of us didn't
live to at least ninety-five.

357
00:16:35,092 --> 00:16:36,852
What?

358
00:16:36,892 --> 00:16:41,852
Yep. Might as well
put that calculator away...

359
00:16:43,412 --> 00:16:45,292
Night, all.

360
00:16:45,292 --> 00:16:47,932
Ninety-five...Really?

361
00:16:47,972 --> 00:16:50,572
So, how old are you now?

362
00:16:53,732 --> 00:16:55,492
Perfect.

363
00:16:55,492 --> 00:16:57,332
This is perfect.

364
00:16:57,372 --> 00:16:59,132
What's wrong with you?

365
00:16:59,172 --> 00:17:01,812
And that just about did it.

366
00:17:01,812 --> 00:17:03,452
Me?

367
00:17:03,492 --> 00:17:04,972
What's wrong with me?

368
00:17:05,012 --> 00:17:09,412
It was time to tell 'em exactly
how I felt. About him...about Mom...

369
00:17:09,452 --> 00:17:13,932
About the stupid gin games, and the
dumb boyfriends and the idiotic dog...

370
00:17:13,972 --> 00:17:16,012
I hate this place!

371
00:17:16,052 --> 00:17:19,212
Yeah. That was it - in a nutshell.

372
00:17:20,892 --> 00:17:23,012
What's so funny?

373
00:17:23,052 --> 00:17:26,252
You're starting to sound...
just like your mother.

374
00:17:27,372 --> 00:17:29,052
What?!

375
00:17:29,252 --> 00:17:30,612
You heard me.

376
00:17:30,652 --> 00:17:33,172
Yeah, but Mom loves this place.

377
00:17:33,212 --> 00:17:35,652
Yeah, for a day or two, maybe.

378
00:17:35,692 --> 00:17:41,052
Trust me. Twenty-one years ago,
she couldn't wait to get out.

379
00:17:43,252 --> 00:17:44,252
You're kidding...

380
00:17:44,292 --> 00:17:46,132
Ah...

381
00:17:46,172 --> 00:17:51,292
Your mother wanted more from life than
what a small town like this had to offer.

382
00:17:51,332 --> 00:17:53,692
So why didn't she tell
Grandma and Grandpa about it?

383
00:17:53,732 --> 00:17:56,132
She never says a word.

384
00:17:56,172 --> 00:17:59,092
She used to.

385
00:17:59,132 --> 00:18:03,892
They couldn't hear her.
Parents are like that sometimes.

386
00:18:03,932 --> 00:18:05,572
And I guess right about then...

387
00:18:05,572 --> 00:18:08,572
A few things started to fall into place.

388
00:18:09,372 --> 00:18:10,612
- Hi!
- You're home early!

389
00:18:10,652 --> 00:18:12,132
Yeah...

390
00:18:12,172 --> 00:18:13,572
I know.

391
00:18:13,612 --> 00:18:15,892
How was it?

392
00:18:15,932 --> 00:18:18,172
It was...fine.

393
00:18:18,172 --> 00:18:20,532
But when the time comes for
my thirtieth reunion...

394
00:18:20,572 --> 00:18:21,812
Yeah...

395
00:18:21,852 --> 00:18:24,172
Let's tear it up.

396
00:18:24,212 --> 00:18:26,452
How was Roger?

397
00:18:26,492 --> 00:18:31,972
Roger... Roger's the same old jerk
he always was.

398
00:18:32,012 --> 00:18:33,652
Ow...

399
00:18:33,692 --> 00:18:36,332
Oooh, honey, sorry!

400
00:18:36,372 --> 00:18:38,972
So how was the dance?

401
00:18:40,292 --> 00:18:43,732
Actually...it was a little boring.

402
00:18:44,052 --> 00:18:46,132
But you had a good time?

403
00:18:48,972 --> 00:18:51,372
Yeah. I did.

404
00:18:51,372 --> 00:18:56,692
After all, maybe there are some things
in life that just can't be changed.

405
00:18:56,732 --> 00:19:00,092
A child's hopes. A parent's dreams.

406
00:19:00,132 --> 00:19:04,012
Well, goodnight, everyone.

407
00:19:04,052 --> 00:19:06,732
G'night.

408
00:19:06,772 --> 00:19:09,772
So...did you let Dad beat you?

409
00:19:09,812 --> 00:19:12,932
- Just enough to make him happy.
- Thanks.

410
00:19:12,972 --> 00:19:15,132
And maybe, when it comes to families...

411
00:19:15,172 --> 00:19:17,292
That's all for the best.

412
00:19:17,292 --> 00:19:18,732
Why don't we take a little walk?

413
00:19:18,772 --> 00:19:21,252
Oh, oh, Jack - what about your back?

414
00:19:21,292 --> 00:19:23,732
Well, I'm down - but I'm not out. Oh...

415
00:19:23,772 --> 00:19:26,412
No. No, I'll bet you're not.

416
00:19:27,492 --> 00:19:29,852
¢ÜIt's very clear¢Ü

417
00:19:29,892 --> 00:19:33,252
Night, son.

418
00:19:33,292 --> 00:19:36,372
¢ÜOur love is here to stay¢Ü

419
00:19:36,412 --> 00:19:39,732
Like they say...growing up isn't easy.

420
00:19:39,772 --> 00:19:43,332
¢ÜNot for a year¢Ü
No matter how old you are.

421
00:19:43,372 --> 00:19:49,652
It's all a matter of time, and luck. And if
you're very lucky... ¢ÜBut ever and a day¢Ü

422
00:19:49,692 --> 00:19:50,772
Maybe love.

423
00:19:50,812 --> 00:19:52,172
¢ÜIn time¢Ü

424
00:19:52,212 --> 00:19:56,332
¢ÜThe Rockies may crumble¢Ü
All I knew was, that night...

425
00:19:56,372 --> 00:19:59,372
In that old house...
¢ÜGibraltar may tumble away¢Ü

426
00:19:59,372 --> 00:20:02,292
I felt part of something lasting.

427
00:20:02,332 --> 00:20:06,052
Family.
¢ÜBut our love is here¢Ü

428
00:20:06,092 --> 00:20:09,732
For better or worse.

429
00:20:09,772 --> 00:20:14,612
¢ÜTo stay¢Ü
Goodnight.

430
00:20:22,532 --> 00:20:26,452
You're not going to snore, are you?

431
00:20:31,452 --> 00:20:36,452
