Konichiwa.
Bless you.
I didn't sneeze.
It's a Japanese greeting.
I think it's so great that your family's taking in an exchange student.
Yeah.
I mean, he's never been to America before.
I just want him to be completely comfortable.
But don't expect him to be as cool as me.
We'll give him two minutes if he's a slow learner.
When's he arriving? Not for a whole ten minutes? Later.
Did you get a load of Amy Sutton's make-up earlier? Oh, it was hideous.
It was so wrong with that outfit Hot sauce.
Hot sau Does that mean "goodbye"? Winston, you're gonna be late.
Hot sauce! Hot sauce! See you've tried Patman's pepper shake.
Did I mention I put it in the water, too? Teen crisis center.
Thanks for my new boxer shorts.
Yeah, I'm wearing them right now.
Uh-huh.
See you tonight.
I love you.
You're here to help troubled teens, not chat with your girlfriend.
That was my mom.
Look, no personal calls.
I'm sorry, Mike.
Go on.
I can't help thinking that my parents would've had more time for each other if they hadn't invested so much time in my football games.
I felt exactly the same way after my parents split.
Did you play football, too? No.
Eventually I realized it had nothing to do with me, and I stopped feeling guilty.
How long did it take? I'm givin' it another year.
You're kidding, right? Yeah.
But it wasn't easy.
We have a referral number here if you'd like to speak with a professional counselor.
Uh, I don't know.
I'd like to speak with you.
You've been through it.
- Please deposit 25 cents - Sure.
Uh-oh, my quarter's running out.
You're at a pay phone? I was changing into my Superman costume and thought I'd check in.
Hey, what's this glowing green rock? Stop that.
You'll get me into trouble.
Sorry.
Of course, that wouldn't be a problem if we were talking in person.
Are you asking me out? I don't know.
Would you say yes? I guess you won't know until you try.
Announcing the arrival of flight 337 at gate 84B.
The passengers from Tokyo, did I miss them? Mm-hmm.
Damn! Poor guy's probably lost.
He has no way of communicating.
At the mercy of the cruel USA without me to protect him.
Koichi Yamasaki.
Um You must be Winston Egbert.
What's shakin'? I made us dinner reservations at La Maison.
See you tonight Koichi.
I'm looking forward to it.
We have dates tonight.
I hope you don't mind.
Good morning.
Well, good morning to you, too.
Did you have Happy Flakes for breakfast? I have a date tonight.
With whom? I can't tell you.
You wouldn't know him.
If I don't know him, he can't be anybody important.
So, who is it? This guy who I've been helping over the teen hot line.
But that's all I can say without betraying his confidence.
His name's Mike, but that's all I can say.
You can say why you like him.
Nope.
If I tell you any more, I'd have to kill ya.
Your dad makes rubber food? For window displays.
Most restaurants in Japan have them.
Here.
Check this out.
Oh! Ooh That is the most realistic rubber filet mignon I've ever seen.
I can't wait to meet him.
You've never met? Well, just on the phone.
We reached out and touched each other.
I hope he's that good in person.
Liz, Enid, meet Koichi.
Hello.
Koichi, Enid, Elizabeth.
Hi.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
Hi.
Both of you.
Your English is perfect.
Well, thanks.
I've had an American tutor since I was three, and, of course, I watch American movies on cable.
That's really impressive.
We'll see you guys around.
It was a pleasure meeting both of you.
Bye.
Jessica, say hi to Koichi.
Hi, Koichi.
There's two of them? They're twins.
Welcome to America.
Man! Unbelievable! I've only heard rumors of someone scoring four million on Cybergoat.
I'm a little off today.
You know, jetlag.
My baby sister can score four and a half on that game.
How do you do that? I wouldn't eat those if I were her.
Oh, Lila, meet Koichi Yamasaki.
He flew in from Tokyo yesterday.
Hi.
Ooh, mohair.
Finally, someone who appreciates haute couture.
We'll have to take a little shopping expedition together.
Sounds wonderful.
Ooh, what an adventure.
Standing around a dressing room, saying, "You don't look fat, Lila.
" Believe me, I've been there.
Well, then maybe you should show him around.
That sounds great.
Yeah, I'll catch you later.
Thanks a lot.
Mm-hmm.
What's up? Hey, remember that swing we were talking about earlier? Hold it like this.
Of the millions of foreign-exchange students, I get the Japanese Bruce.
You and I are gonna get along great.
Yes, definitely.
Don't let Bruce fool you.
The guy put hot sauce in my shake.
Winston, things aren't always what they seem.
In Japan, when you dislike somebody, you smile, nod and say "yes" to everything they say.
Really? Yes.
Oh, because I was Hey, wait a minute.
Enid? Jess said you were down here.
I thought I'd join you and Todd at a movie, if that's OK.
What about your date with Mike? He's probably not my type.
So, what should we see, Deadly Attraction or Fatal Desire? OK.
Mike's the star quarterback at Bridgewater.
So? So? He dates cheerleaders and stuff.
What if I'm not pretty enough for him? Enid, what are you talking about? You're pretty.
You're interesting.
This guy is lucky to be going out with you.
You're right.
He's very lucky.
He's never been so lucky.
What if this guy's a total porker? He probably looks like Porky Pig.
Hey, Porky's cute.
Enid, stop panicking.
I'm sure he's a really nice, regular guy.
Yeah.
with a regular guy I've got a date with a regular guy I Hey! Can I help you? I, uh I need, um a napkin.
What's wrong with you? I just made myself look like a total, complete spaz in front of Mike.
He's probably laughing at me right now.
Oh, yeah, your big date.
So how many heads does he have? You gotta help me, Jess.
Go in there and tell him I'm having an asthma attack.
I don't think that'll improve things.
OK, OK.
Well, come in with me and make him think I'm cool.
What do I look like, a miracle worker? I don't know! But if he sees me with you, he'll think I'm popular.
Well that does make sense.
All right.
But this is my one good deed for the year.
OK, which one of you is Mike? That's me.
I'm Mike.
Hi.
Hey.
I'm Enid.
You are? Well, ha ha, you look fantastic.
Thanks.
Ready to go? I thought we could stay here and talk.
Here's so boring.
Let me show you where the real action is.
You are not at all what I expected.
She knew how much he meant to me! I'm so sorry, Enid.
I don't know what's wrong with her.
Mike Montrel? This is such a coup.
You know I only collect the best.
How could you? It was simple.
You wanted him to think you were cool.
Now he does.
Only because he thinks I'm you.
Details.
Don't you have any shame? It wouldn't have worked out between them, anyway.
He's way out of her league.
I'll tell him the truth.
How would Mike feel if he found out you put me up to this? It would shake his whole belief in the teen hot line.
You think he won't care that you stabbed Enid in the back? Not when I tell him the only reason Enid wanted to go out with him was so she could be in the popular crowd.
And when he sees you, he'll know it's true.
Come on, Lila.
Enid, you have to call him first and tell him the truth.
I can't! I mean, if I tell him I was too chicken to talk to him, he'll think I'm a total loser.
Besides, Jess is right.
He is going through a lot.
You can't just let Jess have him.
Believe me, I have no intention of letting that happen.
Hello.
Hey, it's me.
You OK? Uh-huh.
You know, a lot of times, first dates can be a little weird.
Yeah, I guess.
But I've been thinking all day about you, me our kiss.
So have I.
So I made reservations for a balloon ride.
Mike, I don't wanna disappoint you, but there's something I have to tell you.
What? I I'm afraid of heights.
We can't go ballooning.
But you said you always wanted to go up in a hot-air balloon.
I did? Yeah, well, I guess I wasn't myself last night.
Look, I know we didn't have much to talk about.
Guess I was just a little nervous.
I know we can do better.
OK.
Let's go play miniature golf.
Miniature golf? Sure.
Hi.
I'm Wendy.
Hi there.
How you doing? Good.
I'm Koichi.
Yeah, you're the exchange student.
Looks like Koichi's fitting in pretty well.
I know.
He already has more friends than I do.
And he's better than me at everything.
I don't think he's trying to compete with you.
I know he's not.
That's what makes it so irritating.
Whoa! Enid.
Liz, Todd.
Quick, hop in.
What's wrong? It's an emergency.
We have to go play miniature golf.
Just get in! OK, but I get the red ball.
This is ridiculous.
I'm not gonna pretend to be Jessica.
But you have to! Now wait a minute.
If you're gonna be Jessica being Enid and you're gonna be Liz well, then who am I gonna be? You're you.
I'm not gonna get the red ball, am I? I still think you should tell him the truth.
Enid.
Hey.
Mike, this is my best friend Elizabeth.
Liz Wakefield.
Pleased to meet you.
You, too.
This is my, um, boyfriend Todd.
Hi, Todd.
Mike.
Hey, mind if we join you? Sure, we'd love it.
I'm gonna kill that guy.
Easy, Todd.
She's supposed to be me.
Then you should kill him.
So, I tried talking to my parents.
Look, a castle.
You know, I was born to live in a castle.
Hello? Can we get some service around here? Ladies first.
Sometimes there are, sometimes When you don't know what to think And you don't know what to say And you don't know what to do Tell me, did you even notice? I didn't even have a shadow And we were standing in the sunshine? Uh-huh Some days, there are some days When the person next to you Is feelin' love for you Is feelin' love that's true But you didn't even notice I didn't even have a shadow And we were standing in the sunshine Oh, yeah I'm not myself today I'm not myself today And if you ask me to stand up and just be me Hey, a gift.
From Winston.
What is it? It looks like an octopus tentacle.
So, like, where's the rest of it? Oh, God.
All right, Winston! What? Rubber tentacle, dude? Hilarious.
Thank you.
Can you move? You're blocking my light.
Enid, what is with you today? You're acting so different.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Can we go home now? This Astroturf is giving me a rash.
That is what I'm talking about.
I mean, where's the warmth I heard over the phone? You want me to be like how I was on the hot line? That's just acting.
Did you really expect for me to care about what you were saying? Yes, actually, I did.
You're getting a zit.
Mm-hmm.
Man! I think he could use you about now.
Wish me luck.
Finally.
It's working.
I think he's really starting to hate me.
Good.
What's the matter? Your friend Enid.
On the phone, she's great.
We talk, we laugh.
But in person, well, she's kind of obnoxious.
That's too bad.
Maybe she's just nervous when she's around you.
Maybe I'm expecting too much.
I'd better find her.
I don't want her to think I'm ignoring her, OK? Give her time? What am I, an idiot? Hey, what's going on? I don't believe this.
Enid! Mike.
Todd! Enid.
Enid? Mm-hmm.
So I asked Liz to pretend to be Jessica so you'd get a taste of what Jess was really like.
But I had no idea it would turn out like this.
You went to all this trouble to be with me? Mike, listen.
I'm sorry.
I should've just told you the truth in the first place, but I was so afraid you wouldn't like me.
Why? You're the only person I can tell my problems to.
I know.
And I hope this hasn't changed that.
I really wanna be there for you.
I want that, too.
So you're not disappointed I don't look like Jessica? You look perfect to me.
We can't go on meeting like this.
What are you doing? This is my balloon.
Get out! She likes to pretend that she's not in love with me.
I'm not in love with you.
See? Check this out.
Watch, watch this.
Hi, Jess.
Finally.
It's about time.
There's Mike.
Now get out.
What? Wait a minute! Have a nice trip, Jess.
Enid! Sayonara! Liz! Liz! Jess, don't worry.
You still have us for company.
Hey, Koichi, how long did he say this flight was? About four hours.
Look right down any crowded hall You see there's a beauty standing Is she really everywhere Or a reflection? Sweet Valley Sweet Valley High Meet you at Sweet Valley High Sweet Valley Sweet Valley High
