(CROWD CHEERING)
(APPLAUDING)
(SIGHS)
Well, kids, how do you like
performing in an amusement park?
Great.
But it'd be even perfect if
cotton candy was deductible.
I think this week's
gonna be a lot of fun.
I haven't been on those rides
since I was in high school.
Say, tomorrow, why don't we
perform at the top of that tower?
It must be at
least 300 feet tall.
(SIGHING) If man were
supposed to sing in high places,
he would have
been born a soprano.
If I didn't know better, I'd say
that you're afraid of heights.
I am not afraid of heights.
I know better.
You wouldn't ride the
roller coaster with me.
That's kid stuff.
But you rode the merry-go-round.
And got sick.
I did not.
I was thinking.
I always think by putting
my head between my knees.
All right, kids.
Leave Keith alone.
Yeah, leave Keith alone.
You're defending me?
What's in it for you?
Well, I was thinking
maybe you and I could drive
into Cincinnati and see a movie?
(SIGHING)
Look, Danny, I'm tired,
and there's no way I'm
gonna leave this room.
I'm sorry to hear that.
The park is sending over
a public-relations man
to show us around.
He should be here any time.
How about if I just don't go?
I'm sure no one's gonna miss me.
That's true.
Mrs. Partridge?
Yes?
I'm Audrey Parson.
From Kings Island?
Not the public-relations man.
Well, I am from
public relations.
Please, come in.
Oh, thank you.
I'd like to make your stay
as pleasant as possible,
and, well, I thought you
might enjoy a ride into town.
Well, we were just told
you were coming over
and we haven't
had time to change.
But it'll only take us a minute.
I'll be right back, Miss Parson.
Yes. Yeah.
I'm gonna go change my shirt.
I thought you were too tired.
He's gonna watch
me change my shirt.
(PEOPLE CHATTERING)
And if you need any
help with the children
Hi, Mom. Hi, Reuben.
Hi, there. Hi.
Looks like you're
all ready for a swim.
Well, it's not my
favorite sport,
but I left my polo pony at home.
Would you care for a drink?
Oh, yes, thank you.
I'll have a Bloody Mary.
Vodka on the rocks for me.
A vodka on the
rocks sounds good.
Make mine a vodka
on the rocks, too.
Second thought, make
mine rocks, hold the vodka.
He likes his drinks dry.
Well, while I'm
waiting to get my rocks,
I think I'll go take
a dip in the water.
Anybody want to race
me across the pool?
I don't think so.
Okay, then, I guess
I'll just go limber up
by doing a one-and-half
gainer off the low board,
with a twist.
You must be very good.
Oh, it's nothing.
(CHUCKLES)
Why don't you dive
off the high board?
Because Miss Parson wants
to see me dive off the low board.
What's Keith up to?
He's gonna try a
one-and-a-half gainer
With a twist.
Keith?
He usually bounces once
and then holds his nose.
Well, here goes.
(SIGHS)
(SPLASHING)
Keith, are you all right?
(GASPS) Ooh.
I'll get him.
Of all people, why did Danny
have to be the one to save me?
You shouldn't have been
showing off in the first place.
You think I was showing off?
Not the way it turned out.
I take it you were trying
to impress Miss Parson.
What gave you an idea like that?
Well, you don't belly
flop for just anybody.
Okay. Okay, if you
want to know the truth,
I think I'm in love with her.
She even said she might
have dinner with me tonight.
What do you think of that?
That's what I
thought you'd think.
Laurie.
I know, I know.
Take care.
Keith
She's a very pretty woman.
Mom, I know what
you're gonna say.
You think I can't love Audrey
'cause she's a
little older than I am.
A little older? She's
10 or 12 years older.
You're right, and
in the old days,
that would have been a problem.
But times have changed.
Today, people are freer.
They're more honest
about their feelings.
In this day and age,
anything can happen.
Love does not
ask to see your ID.
(GUITAR PLAYING SOLO)
(APPLAUSE)
Hi, everybody.
Oh, hi, what a Surprise.
Won't you sit down?
Here, allow me.
I wondered why he
brought all that equipment.
He was saving her a seat.
Where's your mother?
Oh, she and Reuben
are having dinner
with the director of the park.
I guess that just leaves
you and me, huh?
What about the rest of us?
(CHUCKLES)
He's just a child.
Oh, right.
He doesn't realize
that we're not here.
Would you like something to eat?
KEITH: Waiter, waiter!
Oh, no, thank you.
I just stopped by to
see how you're doing.
My job is to see that
you're all entertained.
I'm glad you said that.
You know, I'm not entertained.
I thought maybe you could take
me out and show me the town.
Just the two of us.
Oh, I'm sorry, but I already
have a date for tonight.
But you're a doll for asking.
Oh, any time.
Ooh, I'd better be going.
It's getting late.
Night, everybody.
Good night.
Good night, Ken.
(SNICKERING)
What's so funny?
Nothing, nothing.
Um, would you pass
the salt, please, Ken?
Right.
Right. Bye.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
Come in.
Hi. Hi, Ken.
It's Keith.
Keith.
It's okay.
Look, I just happened
to be passing by,
and I thought maybe
if you weren't busy,
you might show
me around the park.
I'm sorry. I already
have a date.
Hi.
What are you doing here?
Well, Miss Parson is gonna
show me around the park.
Well, I'll be happy to
show you both around.
Fine.
Let's start on
the roller coaster.
I'm sure Audrey doesn't
want to go on the roller coaster.
Oh, I love roller coasters.
If you want to
sit this one out
I love the roller coaster.
Great.
Great.
Let's go.
Well, I want to thank you
boys for taking me out.
I had a wonderful time.
It was a great day.
Oh, yeah, great.
I hope you're
feeling better now.
Oh, just fine.
Just a case of malaria.
It comes and goes.
Well, thanks again. Bye.
DANNY: Bye.
You red-headed hamburger!
Keith, now, don't
exert yourself.
You don't have your
strength back yet.
I've got enough to wring
your neck if you had one.
Stop it. What's going on?
He made a fool out of
me in front of Audrey.
You didn't.
Not totally.
You got a lot of sympathy
points when you got sick.
Danny Partridge.
I was doing it for his own good.
You shouldn't
have done it at all.
I had no choice.
What does that mean?
It means I realized today
that I, too, am in
love with Miss Parson.
It hit me between the roller
coaster and the Octopus.
Danny, this is no
time for your jokes.
I've never been more
serious in my life.
Keith, I'm sorry it
has to be this way.
But only one of us
can win, so good luck.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I think I'll go to my room
and write some poetry.
Well, aren't you
gonna go talk to him?
I will, later.
First of all,
I want to know why you
think I should talk to him.
The whole thing's silly. She's
a woman and he's a child.
Right.
Sound familiar?
Oh, there's a big difference
between Danny and I.
Can you see her going to the
seventh-grade dance with him?
Do you think she'd be more at
home at your high school prom?
No.
No, I can't see her at the
high school prom, either.
When you think
about it that way,
I guess I must look
as silly as Danny does.
Honey, it isn't silly.
It's just a part of growing up.
Mom, about that talk with Danny,
he isn't gonna listen to
you any more than I did.
Maybe it'd be better
if I had a talk with him.
Since I've been through
it, maybe he'll listen to me.
I think that'd be just fine.
I'm stuck.
Can you think of a romantic
word that rhymes with "ain't"?
Bye.
Hi. Hi.
Where you going?
Um, I heard Miss Parson
might be coming over today.
Do you think I look
more mature in a bow tie?
You look fine.
I want to talk to you
about Miss Parson.
I realized that I
don't really love her.
Great.
Then I have the
whole field to myself.
I was only infatuated
with her, just like you.
Nope. I'm in love.
That's the difference
between us.
I'm not wishy-washy.
Danny, Miss Parson is
a very beautiful woman.
I know what you're gonna say.
You think I can't love her
'cause she's a
little older than I am.
She's not a little older.
She's a lot older.
That's very true,
and in the old days,
that might have
made a difference.
But things are different today.
People are freer.
Danny, she's 20 years
older than you are.
Love doesn't ask to
see your hall pass.
Well, here I go.
What are you doing?
Trying to look
like I have a neck.
(SIGHS)
Your show last night
was the best one so far.
Well, that's because
the stage wasn't moving
and Keith's voice didn't crack.
DANNY: Hi.
Hi.
Danny, is something
wrong with your neck?
Nope.
She noticed my neck.
Why are you so dressed up?
Well, uh,
because if you aren't doing
anything today, Miss Parson,
I thought you might
like to go out with me.
There's a great movie
playing. Dracula Bites the World.
It's GP.
Oh, Danny, I'm sorry,
but I already have a date.
You fink!
Me?
Danny, Keith isn't
taking out Miss Parson.
Here comes my date.
All ready to go?
I certainly am, sir.
Will you excuse us?
There's a great movie
playing. Dracula Bites the World.
That sounds fabulous.
That does it.
That's the last time I'm sticking
my neck out for a woman.
I know one older woman
who has a big crush on you.
Thanks, Mom.
But since it's you,
can I take off my tie?
Oh, brother.
Last night, you know, I
couldn't sleep, wouldn't sleep
Tossin' and turnin' about

Well, kids, how do you like

Great.
But it'd be even perfect if
cotton candy was deductible.
I think this week's
gonna be a lot of fun.
I haven't been on those rides

Say, tomorrow, why don't we
perform at the top of that tower?
It must be at

Leave Keith alone.
Yeah, leave Keith alone.
You're defending me?
What's in it for you?
Well, I was thinking
maybe you and I could drive
into Cincinnati and see a movie?
(SIGHING)
Look, Danny, I'm tired,
and there's no way I'm
gonna leave this room.
I'm sorry to hear that.
The park is sending over
a public-relations man
to show us around.
He should be here any time.
How about if I just don't go?
I'm sure no one's gonna miss me.
That's true.
Mrs. Partridge?
Yes?
I'm Audrey Parson.
From Kings Island?
Not the public-relations man.
Well, I am from
public relations.
Please, come in.
Oh, thank you.
I'd like to make your stay
as pleasant as possible,
and, well, I thought you
might enjoy a ride into town.
Well, we were just told
you were coming over
and we haven't
had time to change.
But it'll only take us a minute.
I'll be right back, Miss Parson.
Yes. Yeah.
I'm gonna go change my shirt.
I thought you were too tired.
He's gonna watch
me change my shirt.

help with the children
Hi, Mom. Hi, Reuben.

Laurie.
I know, I know.
Take care.
Keith
She's a very pretty woman.
Mom, I know what

You think I can't love Audrey

A little older? She's
10 or 12 years older.

Hi.
What are you doing here?
Well, Miss Parson is gonna

Well, I'll be happy to
show you both around.
Fine.
Let's start on
the roller coaster.
I'm sure Audrey doesn't
want to go on the roller coaster.
Oh, I love roller coasters.
If you want to
sit this one out
I love the roller coaster.
Great.
Great.
Let's go.
Well, I want to thank you

Oh, yeah, great.

Do you think I look
more mature in a bow tie?
You look fine.
I want to talk to you
about Miss Parson.
I realized that I
don't really love her.
Great.
Then I have the
whole field to myself.
I was only infatuated
with her, just like you.
Nope. I'm in love.
That's the difference
between us.
I'm not wishy-washy.
Danny, Miss Parson is
a very beautiful woman.
I know what you're gonna say.
You think I can't love her
'cause she's a
little older than I am.
She's not a little older.
She's a lot older.
That's very true,
and in the old days,
that might have
made a difference.
But things are different today.
People are freer.
Danny, she's 20 years
older than you are.
Love doesn't ask to
see your hall pass.
Well, here I go.
What are you doing?
Trying to look
like I have a neck.
(SIGHS)
Your show last night
was the best one so far.
Well, that's because
the stage wasn't moving
and Keith's voice didn't crack.
DANNY: Hi.
Hi.
Danny, is something
wrong with your neck?
Nope.
She noticed my neck.
Why are you so dressed up?
Well, uh,
because if you aren't doing
anything today, Miss Parson,
I thought you might
like to go out with me.
There's a great movie
playing. Dracula Bites the World.
It's GP.
Oh, Danny, I'm sorry,
but I already have a date.
You fink!
Me?
Danny, Keith isn't
taking out Miss Parson.
Here comes my date.
All ready to go?
I certainly am, sir.
Will you excuse us?
There's a great movie
playing. Dracula Bites the World.
That sounds fabulous.
That does it.
That's the last time I'm sticking
my neck out for a woman.
I know one older woman
who has a big crush on you.
Thanks, Mom.
But since it's you,
can I take off my tie?
Oh, brother.
Last night, you know, I
couldn't sleep, wouldn't sleep
Tossin' and turnin' about
Thinkin' about
the way it's been
Hey, it's been
so hard to figure out
We go on sneakin' around
Smoky places all over town
You go home and it's all over

One step short of our heaven

Mr. Kincaid, why don't

No, no, thanks, kid.
I get dishpan body.
Hi, Mr. Kincaid.
We're having a poolside
picnic. Want a sandwich?
Uh, no. No, thanks.
Excuse me.
Private call. Business.
Come on, kids.
Hello, may I speak to

I wonder what business

Those older women will

Would you all please go away?

Right, that Reuben.
I just wondered if you

I thought maybe

Uh, well, maybe

Bye.

Well, it's no reflection
on you, Reuben.
I mean, better men

I know. I was one

Danny, you know what us

What?
