1
00:00:03,536 --> 00:00:05,504
- l'm home.
- [Jill] Hi.
2
00:00:06,506 --> 00:00:08,167
l picked up the mail.
3
00:00:08,708 --> 00:00:12,974
You're invited to your annual
psychology department potluck dinner.
4
00:00:13,046 --> 00:00:16,482
l am one step ahead of them.
l'm already making my tuna surprise.
5
00:00:16,549 --> 00:00:18,574
l'll take a big step backwards.
6
00:00:19,552 --> 00:00:22,453
They've banned you
from bringing any food this year.
7
00:00:23,823 --> 00:00:26,917
Yeah. Like they wrote that
on the invitation.
8
00:00:26,993 --> 00:00:29,120
They wrote it on the invitation.
9
00:00:32,032 --> 00:00:34,899
That's pretty insensitive
for a bunch of psychologists.
10
00:00:34,968 --> 00:00:36,902
Maybe they need some therapy, honey.
11
00:00:38,938 --> 00:00:42,237
- ls my tuna surprise really that bad?
- [quietly] Mm.
12
00:00:43,076 --> 00:00:45,237
- No, you know...
- The truth.
13
00:00:45,311 --> 00:00:47,074
Truth is a relative thing, honey.
14
00:00:48,648 --> 00:00:51,014
Truth is, even your relatives
won't eat it.
15
00:00:52,919 --> 00:00:53,886
l'll show them.
16
00:00:53,987 --> 00:00:58,549
With thought and creativity l can
make them forget the tuna surprise.
17
00:00:58,658 --> 00:01:00,489
Like the antidote.
18
00:01:59,953 --> 00:02:03,081
- [Tim] Ow!
- [electrical buzzing]
19
00:02:03,156 --> 00:02:05,852
Hey, uh, Dad. Can a friend of mine
come see the hot rod?
20
00:02:05,925 --> 00:02:08,985
Yeah. lt's about time you started
hanging out with car guys.
21
00:02:11,297 --> 00:02:12,992
Dad, this is Lauren.
22
00:02:15,301 --> 00:02:16,791
- Hi, Lauren.
- Hey.
23
00:02:16,870 --> 00:02:18,929
- Where's the car guy?
- l'm the car guy.
24
00:02:20,874 --> 00:02:23,434
Lauren and l are working
on the school paper together.
25
00:02:23,510 --> 00:02:27,071
- OK.
- This is an original old convertible.
26
00:02:27,180 --> 00:02:29,808
- lt's all metal, too.
- lt's a Ford.
27
00:02:29,883 --> 00:02:31,646
Yes, l know.
28
00:02:33,553 --> 00:02:36,317
- l'm guessing it's a '46.
- Huh?
29
00:02:38,224 --> 00:02:39,851
Look at these tail lights.
30
00:02:39,926 --> 00:02:43,054
- You are gonna French 'em, aren't ya?
- Oh, yeah, yeah.
31
00:02:43,129 --> 00:02:45,996
- Did you chop the windshield frame?
- Yeah, oh, yeah.
32
00:02:47,433 --> 00:02:50,766
- You gotta shave these door handles.
- Yeah, l gotta. Oh.
33
00:02:52,238 --> 00:02:54,968
- You know a lot about cars for a girl.
- For a girl?
34
00:02:55,041 --> 00:02:56,872
Or a boy. Either one.
35
00:02:59,045 --> 00:03:00,808
l always loved anything with a motor.
36
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,644
My friends play with Barbie,
l soup up her Corvette.
37
00:03:03,716 --> 00:03:05,081
- The pink Corvette?
- Yeah.
38
00:03:05,185 --> 00:03:07,619
With the spoiler in the back
and the mag wheels.
39
00:03:07,687 --> 00:03:09,052
- l loved that thing.
- Wow.
40
00:03:10,323 --> 00:03:12,291
- How would you know?
- Never mind.
41
00:03:15,728 --> 00:03:17,821
Come on, Randy.
Let's get to work.
42
00:03:17,897 --> 00:03:19,865
Thanks for letting me
check out your car.
43
00:03:19,933 --> 00:03:22,060
- Anytime. Nice to meet you.
- You, too.
44
00:03:22,135 --> 00:03:23,363
Hey, Randy, Randy.
45
00:03:24,504 --> 00:03:25,994
Your girlfriend's terrific.
46
00:03:26,072 --> 00:03:29,007
Dad, she's not my girlfriend.
We're just friends.
47
00:03:29,075 --> 00:03:30,975
She's perfect for you.
48
00:03:33,079 --> 00:03:35,206
No, Dad.
Actually, she's perfect for you.
49
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,283
You know, Lauren... Hi.
50
00:03:42,388 --> 00:03:44,754
You and l make a great writing team.
51
00:03:52,498 --> 00:03:56,935
You know, Lauren, l wasn't into cars
at all until you came along.
52
00:04:02,542 --> 00:04:04,305
You know, Lauren...
53
00:04:05,612 --> 00:04:07,273
...l'm a big geek.
54
00:04:09,949 --> 00:04:12,076
- [knocking on door]
- [Brad] Hey, Randy?
55
00:04:12,151 --> 00:04:13,311
Yeah?
56
00:04:17,757 --> 00:04:19,315
Hi.
57
00:04:22,729 --> 00:04:25,095
So, uh, who were you just talking to?
58
00:04:25,164 --> 00:04:26,825
No one. That was the radio.
59
00:04:28,234 --> 00:04:29,792
What radio?
60
00:04:29,902 --> 00:04:31,062
My, uh...
61
00:04:31,671 --> 00:04:33,832
My, uh... deodorant radio.
62
00:04:35,608 --> 00:04:37,576
Sounds great, keeps me dry all day.
63
00:04:39,379 --> 00:04:41,745
Man, he's not even my weird brother.
64
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:44,282
Hey, don't be so hard on him.
65
00:04:44,350 --> 00:04:49,117
Randy, may l say l've always found you
to be a very upstanding young man
66
00:04:49,188 --> 00:04:51,748
with a strong commitment to hygiene.
67
00:04:52,525 --> 00:04:53,787
Jason, what do you want?
68
00:04:53,860 --> 00:04:55,088
Brad?
69
00:04:55,161 --> 00:04:58,528
Well, Jason's gonna be getting
some tickets to a concert and, uh...
70
00:04:58,631 --> 00:05:00,724
- You're inviting me to go?
- [both] No.
71
00:05:01,968 --> 00:05:04,436
We're inviting you
to lend us money so we can go.
72
00:05:04,504 --> 00:05:05,801
lt's very simple.
73
00:05:05,872 --> 00:05:09,103
Oh. And, uh,
l'm inviting you to bite me. OK?
74
00:05:10,043 --> 00:05:11,908
Wait. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
75
00:05:11,978 --> 00:05:15,038
Whoa. The hygiene thing
always works for me.
76
00:05:15,715 --> 00:05:17,478
Let's just go try it on Mark.
77
00:05:17,583 --> 00:05:19,676
Are you wearing enough cologne,
tough guy?
78
00:05:19,752 --> 00:05:22,721
'Cause l can still almost breathe.
79
00:05:24,824 --> 00:05:28,260
Give him a break. He's trying to smell
good for his girlfriend, Lauren.
80
00:05:28,328 --> 00:05:29,886
Look, she is not my girlfriend.
81
00:05:29,962 --> 00:05:32,089
We're writing an article for the paper.
82
00:05:32,165 --> 00:05:33,462
On what? Guys who stink?
83
00:05:39,539 --> 00:05:41,871
Tim, which dish should l make
for the potluck?
84
00:05:41,941 --> 00:05:44,671
l got ltalian, French, Chinese...
85
00:05:44,744 --> 00:05:46,712
Um... go with British.
86
00:05:48,881 --> 00:05:52,942
lf the meal is horrible people will
think that's how it's supposed to taste.
87
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,251
- [doorbell]
- l'll get it.
88
00:05:55,321 --> 00:05:58,688
- Where did you get all those cookbooks?
- l don't know. lt's strange.
89
00:05:58,758 --> 00:06:00,726
People keep giving them to me.
90
00:06:02,762 --> 00:06:05,253
- lt is strange. Hi, Lauren.
- Hey.
91
00:06:05,331 --> 00:06:07,060
- Come in.
- Hey, Mrs. Taylor.
92
00:06:07,133 --> 00:06:08,293
Hi.
93
00:06:08,401 --> 00:06:11,370
- Did you come to look at the hot rod?
- l have to work with Randy.
94
00:06:11,471 --> 00:06:13,837
But my dad and l were talking
about your hot rod.
95
00:06:13,940 --> 00:06:15,601
And, well, we had an idea.
96
00:06:16,109 --> 00:06:17,872
And that idea would be?
97
00:06:17,944 --> 00:06:20,504
Have you ever thought about
sectioning the hood?
98
00:06:20,580 --> 00:06:24,676
lt would bring the front end down
two inches, and give it a sleek look.
99
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,351
This is exactly why l told you
how badly l wanted a daughter.
100
00:06:33,993 --> 00:06:36,689
But you know,
we ended up with three fine sons.
101
00:06:37,730 --> 00:06:40,961
One of them is waiting for you now.
He's excited about the article.
102
00:06:41,033 --> 00:06:43,263
- Yeah, me too.
- What is it about, cars?
103
00:06:43,336 --> 00:06:45,167
No, it's about school budget cuts.
104
00:06:45,238 --> 00:06:47,866
lt's called,
''Why Must the Ballet Club Suffer?''
105
00:06:47,940 --> 00:06:51,000
Easy. So the audience
isn't the only one in pain.
106
00:06:52,979 --> 00:06:55,106
- l'll see you guys later.
- All right.
107
00:07:02,422 --> 00:07:04,788
l think Randy's got
a terrific little girlfriend.
108
00:07:04,857 --> 00:07:08,122
She's not his girlfriend.
He's made it clear. She's just a friend.
109
00:07:08,194 --> 00:07:11,095
Yep. Yep. And Al's the funny one
on Tool Time.
110
00:07:14,634 --> 00:07:17,398
Do you have some inside
l don't know about?
111
00:07:17,470 --> 00:07:20,098
Come on. lt's pretty obvious, isn't it?
112
00:07:20,173 --> 00:07:23,199
We've got a 1 4-year-old son
writing about the ballet?
113
00:07:23,276 --> 00:07:24,834
Which means?
114
00:07:27,180 --> 00:07:29,011
Either he really likes her,
115
00:07:29,081 --> 00:07:31,845
or we should be having
a whole other discussion.
116
00:07:38,124 --> 00:07:40,251
Well, we have a great show
for you today.
117
00:07:40,326 --> 00:07:42,658
We're doing our Tool Time salute
to women...
118
00:07:42,728 --> 00:07:44,889
- [screeching tires]
- [crashing]
119
00:07:45,498 --> 00:07:46,863
...and cars.
120
00:07:48,434 --> 00:07:51,528
Some people think that cars
are strictly a man's domain.
121
00:07:51,604 --> 00:07:55,438
l'd be the last to admit it, but this
week l met a bright 1 4-year-old girl
122
00:07:55,508 --> 00:07:59,239
who proved to me there's women out there
who know as much about cars as men.
123
00:07:59,312 --> 00:08:02,372
Actually, Tim, we have a female expert
in our audience
124
00:08:02,448 --> 00:08:04,939
who probably knows more about cars
than you do.
125
00:08:05,017 --> 00:08:06,848
- Who's in the audience?
- Let's just say
126
00:08:06,919 --> 00:08:09,547
she was the cover girl
for Transmission Monthly.
127
00:08:09,622 --> 00:08:11,522
So, you got a real car babe, huh?
128
00:08:12,825 --> 00:08:15,555
Well, she's actually sitting
in the front row there.
129
00:08:19,298 --> 00:08:21,823
Well, what the heck?
Let's bring her down here.
130
00:08:21,901 --> 00:08:24,062
All right.
Let's have a warm Tool Time welcome
131
00:08:24,136 --> 00:08:26,195
for Lucille Treganowan.
132
00:08:37,483 --> 00:08:39,110
Hi, Lucille.
Welcome to the show.
133
00:08:39,185 --> 00:08:40,743
l'm happy to be here.
134
00:08:40,820 --> 00:08:42,788
l'm happy you're here.
So, um...
135
00:08:44,223 --> 00:08:45,918
So, um, what do you do?
136
00:08:45,992 --> 00:08:49,655
Well, actually, she's just written
a book about car repair.
137
00:08:50,429 --> 00:08:53,159
- What kind of car do you drive?
- An '86 Park Avenue.
138
00:08:53,232 --> 00:08:54,392
[whistles]
139
00:08:55,167 --> 00:08:57,328
Does it run on Metamucil?
140
00:09:00,206 --> 00:09:02,140
That baby has a four barreled carb,
141
00:09:02,208 --> 00:09:06,645
high-rise manifold, and it will blow
your car right off the road, little man.
142
00:09:08,481 --> 00:09:09,914
[inaudible]
143
00:09:09,982 --> 00:09:13,315
Well, you know, l just read your book
a couple of months ago.
144
00:09:13,386 --> 00:09:14,751
l couldn't put it down.
145
00:09:14,820 --> 00:09:16,151
Oh, thank you, Al.
146
00:09:16,222 --> 00:09:18,247
You had to read a book about cars, Al?
147
00:09:18,324 --> 00:09:20,292
lf you'd read Lucille's book you'd know
148
00:09:20,359 --> 00:09:23,920
women have come up with ways to repair
cars men never even thought of.
149
00:09:23,996 --> 00:09:26,863
- Like what?
- What if you had a split radiator hose?
150
00:09:26,933 --> 00:09:28,059
Duh!
151
00:09:29,068 --> 00:09:30,535
You replace it.
152
00:09:30,603 --> 00:09:33,504
OK. lt's 3:00 in the morning
and you're stranded.
153
00:09:33,573 --> 00:09:35,803
l'd call you, wake you up
and you'd put it on.
154
00:09:37,643 --> 00:09:40,703
But if you were a woman,
you'd take off your scarf.
155
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,407
- You'd take off your belt...
- Lucille!
156
00:09:44,750 --> 00:09:46,115
lt's a family show, honey.
157
00:09:46,218 --> 00:09:49,585
You wrap the scarf around
the split hose,
158
00:09:50,323 --> 00:09:53,759
and then tighten the belt
around the scarf.
159
00:09:53,826 --> 00:09:56,192
- That's a great idea.
- [applause]
160
00:10:01,500 --> 00:10:04,765
There are other ways that women
have an advantage over men.
161
00:10:04,837 --> 00:10:06,896
We have this heightened
sense of smell.
162
00:10:06,973 --> 00:10:09,305
That's right.
Which easily enables them
163
00:10:09,375 --> 00:10:12,071
to detect car problems by their odor.
164
00:10:12,144 --> 00:10:15,204
- Anybody can do that.
- OK, wise guy.
165
00:10:15,982 --> 00:10:19,145
What if you have a sweet,
steamy smell coming from your car?
166
00:10:19,218 --> 00:10:22,449
- What would that mean?
- l had too many kielbasas at lunch.
167
00:10:25,658 --> 00:10:26,818
No, Tim.
168
00:10:26,926 --> 00:10:29,793
That would mean that your car
is leaking hot coolant.
169
00:10:29,862 --> 00:10:31,955
Actually, they're both right.
170
00:10:34,734 --> 00:10:37,430
OK, chicken cacciatore...
171
00:10:37,503 --> 00:10:39,403
We gotta dredge the chicken.
172
00:10:39,472 --> 00:10:41,099
What does ''dredge'' mean?
173
00:10:41,173 --> 00:10:43,334
l have no idea.
174
00:10:43,442 --> 00:10:46,377
Go look it up
in that cooking encyclopedia.
175
00:10:47,146 --> 00:10:48,909
l'm gonna move on.
176
00:10:48,981 --> 00:10:50,414
Mince half an onion.
177
00:10:50,483 --> 00:10:53,452
While you're looking up ''dredge''
look up ''mince''.
178
00:10:56,122 --> 00:10:59,853
All right. l found ''dredge''.
lt means coat the chicken with flour.
179
00:11:00,359 --> 00:11:03,692
l know how to do that!
OK, come here.
180
00:11:04,664 --> 00:11:06,564
Yeah. Put the chicken in there.
181
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,163
OK.
182
00:11:09,268 --> 00:11:11,498
Then we dump in some flour.
183
00:11:12,705 --> 00:11:14,263
Here we go.
184
00:11:15,508 --> 00:11:16,736
All right.
185
00:11:16,809 --> 00:11:18,777
And we close the bag.
186
00:11:19,478 --> 00:11:21,036
And shake.
187
00:11:36,162 --> 00:11:38,460
Whatcha doing, The Hokey Poultry?
188
00:11:41,267 --> 00:11:44,361
You grab a bag of chicken
and you shake it all around.
189
00:11:44,437 --> 00:11:46,496
Just remember, it's all in the wrist.
190
00:11:47,373 --> 00:11:49,136
- Here, take this one.
- OK.
191
00:11:49,208 --> 00:11:51,733
- How's the article coming?
- lt's going great.
192
00:11:51,811 --> 00:11:55,247
Lauren's coming over tomorrow to finish.
We're working well together.
193
00:11:55,314 --> 00:11:58,477
- She seems like a nice girl.
- Yeah, l really like her.
194
00:11:58,584 --> 00:12:00,677
You know, her... her writing.
195
00:12:00,753 --> 00:12:03,085
- [doorbell rings]
- l'll get that.
196
00:12:03,155 --> 00:12:04,713
Yeah, yeah.
197
00:12:08,060 --> 00:12:09,618
Oh. Hey, Randy.
198
00:12:09,695 --> 00:12:11,185
Hi. What are you doing here?
199
00:12:11,263 --> 00:12:13,629
We're picking up Brad and Angela
to go to a concert.
200
00:12:13,699 --> 00:12:16,463
- Who's we?
- ''We'' would be me.
201
00:12:17,937 --> 00:12:19,404
- You?
- Me.
202
00:12:20,072 --> 00:12:22,973
Angela said she's late
so we'll have to get her on the way.
203
00:12:23,042 --> 00:12:25,203
- Be home by 1 2:00.
- All right, Mom. Love you.
204
00:12:27,012 --> 00:12:29,242
- See you tomorrow, Randy.
- Right. OK.
205
00:12:36,388 --> 00:12:39,448
l didn't know that Lauren
was going out with Jason.
206
00:12:39,525 --> 00:12:41,390
Yeah, neither did l.
207
00:12:41,460 --> 00:12:44,293
- You all right?
- Yeah, l'm fine.
208
00:12:44,363 --> 00:12:47,389
- Sure you're not upset?
- Why would l be upset?
209
00:12:47,466 --> 00:12:50,731
l don't know. 'Cause a nice girl
like that's going out with Jason.
210
00:12:50,803 --> 00:12:52,293
Why should l care, Mom?
211
00:12:52,371 --> 00:12:55,829
l told you a million times,
Lauren and l are just friends.
212
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,308
[Jill] Tim?
213
00:13:02,381 --> 00:13:03,871
You were right.
214
00:13:03,949 --> 00:13:05,439
[Tim] l know.
215
00:13:07,553 --> 00:13:09,646
Don't you want to know about what?
216
00:13:09,722 --> 00:13:11,883
Don't care.
l just love being right.
217
00:13:13,526 --> 00:13:17,292
Randy does have feelings for Lauren but
Lauren doesn't have feelings for him.
218
00:13:17,396 --> 00:13:19,125
She's going out with Jason.
219
00:13:19,198 --> 00:13:20,756
Nyah.
220
00:13:22,735 --> 00:13:25,101
What could she possibly see in Jason?
221
00:13:25,171 --> 00:13:27,298
That guy's dad drives a Pacer.
222
00:13:29,275 --> 00:13:31,243
Well, Randy's really hurting.
223
00:13:31,310 --> 00:13:34,177
You remember what it feels like
to be rejected.
224
00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:36,238
Yes, l do.
225
00:13:36,315 --> 00:13:38,476
l remember hearing
every excuse in the book.
226
00:13:38,551 --> 00:13:40,917
[high-pitched voice]
''l gotta wash my hair.''
227
00:13:41,020 --> 00:13:44,148
''No, no, no. l've got a touch
of the plague. That's what l've got.''
228
00:13:44,223 --> 00:13:47,056
''No, no. l've got to de-worm
my schnauzer.''
229
00:13:48,060 --> 00:13:50,028
You must have felt awful.
230
00:13:50,095 --> 00:13:51,858
Yeah, but you came around.
231
00:13:53,165 --> 00:13:55,656
Well, l feel really bad for Randy.
232
00:13:55,734 --> 00:13:57,634
We're not gonna take this lying down.
233
00:13:57,703 --> 00:14:00,069
- What are we talking about?
- We'll get her back.
234
00:14:00,172 --> 00:14:01,503
We never had her!
235
00:14:03,843 --> 00:14:06,505
We're gonna play up the car thing, OK?
236
00:14:06,579 --> 00:14:09,946
l'll invite her over to the garage.
We'll work on the hot rod.
237
00:14:10,049 --> 00:14:13,610
While we're shaving the door handles,
l'll talk Randy up big time,
238
00:14:13,719 --> 00:14:16,279
do a couple of my jokes.
Bing, bang, boom.
239
00:14:16,388 --> 00:14:18,015
We got her back.
240
00:14:19,358 --> 00:14:21,383
Tim, that's not gonna work.
241
00:14:21,460 --> 00:14:23,951
Apparently, you've never
seen me in action.
242
00:14:24,029 --> 00:14:26,054
Unfortunately, l have.
243
00:14:32,738 --> 00:14:34,103
Hi, Wilson.
244
00:14:34,874 --> 00:14:36,535
What's all that smoke?
245
00:14:36,609 --> 00:14:39,237
Well, Jill,
l'm burning food as a sacrifice
246
00:14:39,311 --> 00:14:42,144
for the Chinese festival
of hungry ghosts.
247
00:14:42,214 --> 00:14:43,875
Well, that's a switch.
248
00:14:43,949 --> 00:14:47,248
For once l'm cooking something good
and you're burning food.
249
00:14:47,319 --> 00:14:50,186
Of course, the people eating my food
are already dead.
250
00:14:54,660 --> 00:14:57,424
l'm making chicken cacciatore.
You got any fresh oregano?
251
00:14:57,496 --> 00:14:59,225
Yes, indeed.
252
00:14:59,298 --> 00:15:02,790
l just picked a fresh batch here
to burn for my ghosts.
253
00:15:02,868 --> 00:15:04,392
Thanks.
254
00:15:04,470 --> 00:15:07,928
You, uh, happen to have anything
for a broken heart?
255
00:15:08,974 --> 00:15:12,432
Randy is devastated because this girl
that he really likes
256
00:15:12,511 --> 00:15:16,174
- is going out with somebody else.
- Ah. Mm-hmm. Hmm. Hmm.
257
00:15:17,850 --> 00:15:19,818
Oh, l know how painful that can be.
258
00:15:19,885 --> 00:15:22,581
l'll never forget losing my first love,
Debbie Ann.
259
00:15:22,655 --> 00:15:26,591
We were in fourth grade.
l guess we were about nine years of age.
260
00:15:26,659 --> 00:15:30,823
We were inseparable until one day
at the playground we had a big fight.
261
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:32,090
About what?
262
00:15:32,164 --> 00:15:34,598
l was a big believer
in laissez-faire capitalism,
263
00:15:34,667 --> 00:15:36,430
and she was a neo-Maist.
264
00:15:38,170 --> 00:15:40,695
- Kids.
- Mm-hmm. True.
265
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,938
l wish l could make Randy feel better.
266
00:15:44,009 --> 00:15:47,172
Well, unfortunately,
during those turbulent teenage years,
267
00:15:47,246 --> 00:15:49,214
there's not really much a parent can do.
268
00:15:49,315 --> 00:15:52,182
lt just goes totally
against my instincts.
269
00:15:52,251 --> 00:15:55,516
l mean, when my kid has a problem,
l just want to rush in and fix it.
270
00:15:55,587 --> 00:15:58,488
But if Randy learns
to fend for himself now,
271
00:15:58,557 --> 00:16:01,720
then when he's an adult
he'll be more independent.
272
00:16:01,794 --> 00:16:05,355
Well, who better to help him
be independent than his mother?
273
00:16:07,599 --> 00:16:11,126
Jill, l know this is rough on you,
but Randy will get through this.
274
00:16:11,203 --> 00:16:14,263
ln the words of famous German
philosopher Friedrich Nietzche,
275
00:16:14,340 --> 00:16:18,674
''That which does not destroy me
only makes me stronger''.
276
00:16:18,744 --> 00:16:21,235
What did Nietzche know?
He wasn't a mother.
277
00:16:22,715 --> 00:16:25,479
Jill, maybe you're being
just a wee bit overprotective.
278
00:16:25,584 --> 00:16:28,348
Oh, what do you know?
You're not a mother either.
279
00:16:28,420 --> 00:16:30,513
Well, thanks for stopping by.
280
00:16:32,624 --> 00:16:34,182
lt's always a pleasure.
281
00:16:39,765 --> 00:16:41,255
Mom, hi.
282
00:16:42,034 --> 00:16:43,558
What are you doing up?
283
00:16:43,635 --> 00:16:46,570
l gotta put away the chicken cacciatore.
What are you doing?
284
00:16:46,638 --> 00:16:50,199
l was just waiting for Brad to get back
from the concert.
285
00:16:50,309 --> 00:16:51,742
They're a little late.
286
00:16:51,810 --> 00:16:54,677
Yeah, Jason probably got them
backstage passes.
287
00:16:54,747 --> 00:16:56,305
How would he do that?
288
00:16:56,382 --> 00:17:00,045
Oh, by complimenting the security guard
on his hygiene.
289
00:17:01,954 --> 00:17:04,422
Did you hear that car door?
290
00:17:04,490 --> 00:17:06,185
- No.
- Oh.
291
00:17:08,327 --> 00:17:09,692
Honey.
292
00:17:11,030 --> 00:17:13,726
lt really hurt my feelings
293
00:17:13,799 --> 00:17:16,859
when they didn't want me
to cook anything for the potluck.
294
00:17:16,935 --> 00:17:18,994
lt hurts to be rejected.
295
00:17:19,071 --> 00:17:21,767
Whether it's over cooking
or relationships.
296
00:17:22,641 --> 00:17:25,542
You're not comparing your tuna surprise
to my life?
297
00:17:28,414 --> 00:17:30,712
Not anymore.
298
00:17:30,783 --> 00:17:34,014
Well, Mom, at least your tuna surprise
got a chance.
299
00:17:34,887 --> 00:17:38,789
l never got my chance with Lauren.
l waited too long and now it's too late.
300
00:17:38,857 --> 00:17:42,190
Honey, it's one concert.
lt's just one date.
301
00:17:42,928 --> 00:17:47,092
lf l had to choose between you and Jason
it would definitely be you.
302
00:17:47,199 --> 00:17:48,962
You're my mother.
303
00:17:50,102 --> 00:17:52,536
Jason is obnoxious.
304
00:17:52,604 --> 00:17:55,573
He's sneaky. His father drives a Pacer,
for God's sake.
305
00:17:59,344 --> 00:18:02,472
So, you're saying
l might still have a chance with Lauren.
306
00:18:02,548 --> 00:18:05,210
Honey, if there's hope for me
to cook a decent meal,
307
00:18:05,284 --> 00:18:07,946
there's hope for you and Lauren.
308
00:18:08,787 --> 00:18:11,017
So, you're saying there's no hope?
309
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,587
All right, all right.
310
00:18:17,362 --> 00:18:18,886
Try this.
311
00:18:19,832 --> 00:18:21,060
Come on.
312
00:18:24,837 --> 00:18:27,738
Wow. That's...
That's fantastic.
313
00:18:27,806 --> 00:18:29,831
- lt tastes like food.
- Yeah!
314
00:18:32,711 --> 00:18:33,871
Gosh.
315
00:18:33,979 --> 00:18:35,446
You know, they say
316
00:18:35,514 --> 00:18:39,041
that it's hard for teenage boys
to open up to their mothers.
317
00:18:39,118 --> 00:18:40,881
So, l guess...
318
00:18:40,986 --> 00:18:43,546
...you and l have
a very special relationship.
319
00:18:44,323 --> 00:18:48,692
l mean, we share our emotions
and our innermost feelings.
320
00:18:49,261 --> 00:18:50,421
lt really moves me
321
00:18:50,496 --> 00:18:53,795
when you have a problem
and you feel comfortable coming to me,
322
00:18:53,866 --> 00:18:56,494
pouring out your heart...
323
00:18:56,568 --> 00:18:58,195
Randy?
324
00:18:58,871 --> 00:19:00,099
Ran...
325
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:02,800
Well...
326
00:19:04,743 --> 00:19:08,304
''So, according to Mrs. Rupinni,
without funding for the ballet club,
327
00:19:08,413 --> 00:19:10,506
there will be no production this year.''
328
00:19:10,582 --> 00:19:13,745
''Students, teachers and parents,
we are due to speak up.
329
00:19:13,852 --> 00:19:18,084
Don't let this be the swan song
for Swan Lake. ''
330
00:19:18,157 --> 00:19:20,022
Hey, that's a great ending.
331
00:19:20,092 --> 00:19:22,822
You know, Randy,
you and l make a pretty great team.
332
00:19:22,895 --> 00:19:24,556
Yeah, we do, don't we?
333
00:19:25,764 --> 00:19:28,995
Well, l'd better go.
l've still got tons of homework to do.
334
00:19:29,067 --> 00:19:31,297
Uh, Lauren, you got a minute?
335
00:19:31,370 --> 00:19:32,928
Yeah, sure.
What's up?
336
00:19:33,038 --> 00:19:36,940
Uh, nothin' special, it's just
we've been working the whole time.
337
00:19:37,009 --> 00:19:39,534
We really haven't had a chance to talk.
338
00:19:39,611 --> 00:19:41,772
Well, what do you want to talk about?
339
00:19:41,847 --> 00:19:43,610
You know, whatever.
340
00:19:43,682 --> 00:19:46,810
Weather, politics,
how your date with Jason went.
341
00:19:48,387 --> 00:19:51,550
lt wasn't a date.
A bunch of us went to see a concert.
342
00:19:51,657 --> 00:19:54,023
Oh. See, l thought it was a date.
343
00:19:54,092 --> 00:19:55,423
So did Jason.
344
00:19:55,494 --> 00:19:59,123
He kept putting his arm around me
and complimenting my hygiene.
345
00:20:01,166 --> 00:20:02,929
What a jerk.
346
00:20:03,001 --> 00:20:05,162
l'd never be interested
in someone like him.
347
00:20:05,270 --> 00:20:07,795
- That's fantastic.
- lt is?
348
00:20:07,873 --> 00:20:11,331
Well, no. l mean, not for Jason.
But it would be for...
349
00:20:11,410 --> 00:20:16,279
...the guy you would be interested in
going out with, whoever that might be.
350
00:20:16,348 --> 00:20:18,441
Randy, what are you trying to say?
351
00:20:19,718 --> 00:20:21,777
Well, um...
352
00:20:23,455 --> 00:20:27,221
l was just wondering, you know,
if you're not too busy sometime,
353
00:20:27,292 --> 00:20:29,556
maybe you'd like to go out on a date.
354
00:20:31,129 --> 00:20:33,495
- l don't think so.
- OK. Forget l said it. Bad idea.
355
00:20:33,599 --> 00:20:34,759
No.
356
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,664
No, it's not you, Randy.
357
00:20:37,736 --> 00:20:41,297
lt's just that...
l'm not ready to start dating yet.
358
00:20:41,406 --> 00:20:44,864
l'm just having more fun
hanging out with my friends.
359
00:20:44,943 --> 00:20:47,969
- Like you and me hang out?
- Yeah.
360
00:20:48,513 --> 00:20:51,277
Cool. And then when you are ready
to start dating?
361
00:20:52,117 --> 00:20:54,677
l just hope you're still available.
362
00:20:54,753 --> 00:20:57,119
Well, at the moment
my calendar's wide open.
363
00:20:59,625 --> 00:21:02,719
Hey, Lauren.
Randy, just the car guy l'm lookin' for.
364
00:21:02,794 --> 00:21:07,060
l got those tickets to the hot rod show
you wanted to go to. He loves his cars.
365
00:21:08,700 --> 00:21:11,533
- Dad, l...
- Guess who l saw at the ticket office.
366
00:21:11,603 --> 00:21:13,764
Jason's parole officer.
367
00:21:18,110 --> 00:21:20,544
He doesn't hold out a lot of promise
for that kid.
368
00:21:20,612 --> 00:21:24,173
l pity the woman that dates
a guy like that, l'll tell you that.
369
00:21:25,050 --> 00:21:26,517
What women need
370
00:21:26,585 --> 00:21:29,554
are good car-loving,
ballet-appreciating guys.
371
00:21:29,655 --> 00:21:31,282
Kinda like Randy.
372
00:21:31,356 --> 00:21:32,914
Randy?
373
00:21:34,393 --> 00:21:35,519
Lauren?
374
00:21:42,267 --> 00:21:45,293
l'm so proud of Randy
for telling Lauren how he felt.
375
00:21:45,370 --> 00:21:46,928
Yeah, they're still friends.
376
00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:50,531
Which means she still might stop over
and help me work on the car.
377
00:21:52,144 --> 00:21:54,510
lf l had known a girl
could turn out like Lauren
378
00:21:54,613 --> 00:21:57,514
l might have tried for a daughter.
379
00:21:57,582 --> 00:21:59,743
l've always told you
how much fun it would be
380
00:21:59,851 --> 00:22:02,217
to have a girl around the house.
381
00:22:02,321 --> 00:22:04,482
Spoil her and buy her
little girly things.
382
00:22:04,589 --> 00:22:06,147
That's so sweet.
383
00:22:06,258 --> 00:22:08,089
What would you buy for her?
384
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,651
Oh, a little pink ratchet set.
385
00:22:12,864 --> 00:22:15,833
A soft, cuddly,
little stuffed muscle car.
386
00:22:17,502 --> 00:22:19,470
Baby's first tire iron.
387
00:22:21,740 --> 00:22:24,300
And what would you do
when your adorable little girl
388
00:22:24,409 --> 00:22:27,901
started dating guys like Jason?
389
00:22:27,979 --> 00:22:30,345
Well, that's what the tire iron's for.
