So Mrs. Kramer told me if I
don't do well on the mid-term,
she's gonna make me stay after
school for study hall.
I won't have any social life
at all.
That's terrible.
Can I finish your soda?
Sure. And if I have to stay
late to study every day,
Coach Dickinson will kick me
off the soccer team.
Bummer! Want those fries?
Go ahead.
And if I get kicked
off the soccer team...
Oh, Marianne Fuller
won't go out with me!
Too bad.
Can I finish your slaw?
Go ahead.
Hey, guys.
Yo.
Mm.
Hey, get your own.
Fine. I will.
Get ready to meet an old pal.
Huh?
Beth McMillan.
The one who had to leave town.
And she's working here.
She is?
Oh, yeah.
Hey, Beth.
Rick. Hi.
Hi, you're-you're back
in Shallow Springs?
Yup. Couldn't resist its charm.
[CHUCKLES]
So...how are things?
Things are fine.
Great. And um...
how's everything?
"Everything"
turned out to be
a beautiful
eight-pound baby boy.
I named him Max.
Congratulations.
Did you...ever get...
You know...did-did you--
No, I didn't get married.
I'm living with my parents.
Oh, that's-that's great.
Sometimes.
So you're working here
at Burgers, huh?
Uh-huh. And I'm trying to get
my high school diploma
by going to night school.
Terrific!
Actually, you know,
it's not so bad.
Come on, Beth!
You wanna get back in there
and clean up the mess!
It's not so good either.
Will you hold on?
I'll be right back.
[♪♪♪]
I'm sorry it took so long.
Long? What long?
I hardly noticed.
[CHUCKLES]
[GROANS]
This is the first time I have
been off my feet all day.
Hey, Beth.
Know what you need?
A hot bath.
No, no. I mean after that.
You need to cut loose.
Yeah, right...
Look, Alfonso's
having a party tonight.
All the old g*ng will be there.
Why don't you go?
I don't fit in anymore.
Sure you do.
[SCOFFS]
Everyone is into proms,
boyfriends and trendy clothes
and I'm into diapers!
Well, Beth, that's all the more
reason to come to the party.
Take a break,
have a few laughs.
You might even meet somebody.
[SCOFFS]
Yeah, right.
I'm gonna meet some -year-old
who's ready to settle down
and provide for me and my kid.
[SIGHS]
I'm pretty stupid, huh?
No, it's okay.
I mean, I would love
to meet someone.
But there aren't that many
knights in the shining armor.
Hey, Beth.
Come on, come on, come on.
Those restrooms ain't gonna
clean themselves, you know.
It's hard to believe
he used to run a charm school.
Yeah. I'll see you later.
[♪♪♪]
Now, by putting
your patio wall over here,
you're gonna have more shade
in the summer
and you're not going
to have to k*ll any trees.
Trees'll like that.
Joe, your design
looks beautiful.
Thank you.
Well, there's no doubt
about it.
The patio needs some updating.
"Updating"?
Edward, there are ruins in Rome
that look better.
Well, Joe,
you're a little...young.
How many contracting jobs
like this have you handled?
You mean altogether?
Uh-huh.
[WHISTLES]
Including yours?
Yeah.
One.
BOTH:
One?
So we're sorta
your big break, huh?
You could say that.
Well, you got it.
Oh! Thank you!
I appreciate that.
Hey, Dad.
Hey, Rick, say hello
to the world's
newest patio designer
and builder, Joe McCluskey.
How ya doin', Joe?
Hi, nice to meet you.
Are you any relation
to the Crazy Legs McClusky?
Well, yeah. That's me.
Or it used to be me.
You were the best running back
in our school's history.
Dad,
the trophy case at school
is full of awards
with his name on them.
Wow! Our patio is going to be
done by Crazy Legs McCluskey!
Yeah. When he finishes the job
he'll probably go...
I think this young man
is going to go far.
[CHUCKLES]
Say, Joe,
what was the most touchdowns
you ever scored
in one game?
Seven.
And what about the total yards
you rushed for?
Three hundred and ten.
Whoa! Are you married?
Do you like kids?
Never mind.
I mean, gosh, some of the guys
on the football team
sure would love to meet
Crazy Legs McCluskey.
Ah, I doubt that.
They'll be at Burgers
after the game today.
Maybe you could drop by
and say hello.
Well, I don't know--
It would mean an awful lot.
They've had a tough season.
Even the cheerleaders
are booing.
Rick...
Meeting a legend
would get them through
the tough times ahead.
give them something to sh**t
for in the years to come...
All right. All right. I'll go.
I'll meet you there around .
Four o'clock.
This is your copy, I'm gonna
leave it here with you.
I'll take this one,
and thank you again.
I do appreciate it.
Oh, yes. Thank you.
Four.
What the heck
was that about?
Dad, do you remember
Beth McMillan?
Oh, the girl
who got pregnant?
Yeah.
She had a baby boy.
She did? Hey, hey,
that's wonderful.
It's not so wonderful, Dad.
She's back in Shallow Springs
and raising the baby on her own.
Well, doesn't she have help
from her parents?
Yeah, but they're old.
They're almost .
You know, besides,
a baby boy needs a father.
Someone-how to-show him how
to throw a football.
Hey, I can throw a football.
But Kate,
you throw like a girl.
Thank you.
Uh, Rick, it's nice of you
to try to fix Joe and Beth up,
but don't you think you're
kinda meddling again?
Again?
Yeah!
Remember what happened
with Kate's niece?
You got the poor girl
a date with Brad.
Oh, come on, Kate.
She was gonna to join
the convent anyway.
[♪♪♪]
Well, here we are.
Boy, are the guys
gonna be excited.
It doesn't look like
any of the team's here.
Well, you know,
they're still celebrating.
They only lost
by two touchdowns.
Hey, look, there's one
of your biggest fans now.
Hey, Alfonso. Look who this is.
Crazy Legs McCluskey.
Oh. Hi.
I'm touched.
Well, Joe, there's someone else
I really want you to meet.
Oh! Another "fan"?
Beth. Beth...
this is Crazy Legs McCluskey.
Crazy Legs?
That's a nickname. I used
to play some football.
Really? I used to watch it.
[JOE & BETH LAUGH]
Beth! The tables!
Okay.
Beth, it's okay. I got 'em.
No, it's okay, Rick...
Come on, please...
Rick.
Take a break, Chat. Mingle...
[♪♪♪]
See ya, Rick...
And, uh, tell the guys
thanks for the big turnout.
Oh, yeah. Sure, Joe. Bye.
Well, seems like you and Joe
had an awful lot to talk about.
Yeah. He's
a very interesting guy.
And stable,
sincere, reliable...
Ease up, Rick.
He already asked me out.
Well, that's great!
Yeah, except he asked me out
for tonight.
So?
So my folks
are going out tonight.
I don't know if I can get
a sitter on such short notice.
Well, sure you can!
I'll babysit for you.
Have you ever taken care of
a baby before in your life?
Are you kidding?
People who would never even
think of having children
have them just so I can
take care of them.
Rick...it's not...
Just relax, okay?
I've taken care
of lots of babies.
And what time
should I be at your place?
Well, he wants
to pick me up at ,
so would it be okay if I brought
the baby over your house?
Yeah. I guess. But why?
Uh...well...the truth is...I
didn't tell Joe about the baby.
How come?
Because the last
three guys I dated
did a quick disappearing act
the minute they found out.
Beth, he's gonna find out
sooner or later.
Later is better.
Beth...
[SIGHS]
Okay. I'll tell him tonight.
After the meal.
[CHUCKLES]
Good.
Well, this is
working out great.
You've got a date...
And I just made
$ in tips!
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
[♪♪♪]
Honey, hurry up.
We're gonna be late.
Our reservation is...
was...five minutes ago.
I'm sorry.
I'm just not sure what you wear
to a Tahitian restaurant.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Is this all right?
Do you have it in topless?
Oh, I wore it to lunch today.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
I got it. I got it, Kate.
Oops. Thank you.
Hi, Beth. Come on in.
Hi.
Well, what's new?
You're looking at him.
Ooh, let me see.
Here.
Put him on the table. Yeah.
Lookie here, buster.
This is Max.
Hello, Max, oh--
Max, say hello
to Mr. and Mrs. Stratton.
[IN BABY VOICE]
Hello, Mr. and
Mrs. Stratton.
Can I hold him?
Sure, you better do it now
while he's still dry.
Ooh. Come here, guy.
There he goes.
Whoa!
Hey, Beth.
BETH: Hi.
Aw, isn't he beautiful.
Hey, partner. Gimme five.
Yeah, made that one.
Kate...we gotta go.
Oh, do we have to?
[IN BABY VOICE]
Yes, we have to.
Oh, all right.
Do you have all the necessary
emergency telephone numbers?
I sure do, Kate.
Chicken-To-Go...Pizza Express...
For this baby...not you.
I'll be fine, guys.
You just be careful with him,
all right, Rick.
Kate, I will.
Okay. Goodbye, guys.
RICK & BETH:
Bye.
Oh. Okay.
I think I've got
everything here.
Diapers, lotion, powder,
formula, teething ring...
and if he gets fussy
all you have to do
is do the walk and bounce,
you see,
walk and bounce...
Put him right to sleep.
Piece of cake.
Okay.
As soon as I find out where
we're going, I'll call you.
Just in case
there's an emergency.
Oh, I hope that there won't
be an emergency.
Will you relax?
I have everything under control.
Okay. Thanks.
Okay.
No...you're really special.
Well, go on, okay.
Enjoy yourself.
Okay, and now, Max,
you be a good little boy
for Uncle Rick.
Would you go?
Okay.
Have fun.
Bye.
So, Max, what'll it be? TV?
Poker? Trivial Pursuit?
Hey, we got a Baby Boomer
edition.
[CHUCKLES]
[FUSSING]
Here you go, Max.
Here you go.
Come on, easy now. Easy.
Here you go. Easy.
Take it easy. Come on, Max.

[DOOR OPENS]
Honey, have you seen

[SHUSHES]
KATE:
Aren't they cute?
Yeah.
When you see them like that--
Doesn't it make you
want to have one?
No.
Hi, guy.
[SHUSHES]
Whee!
Oh, you're soaked.
Want me to wake
the babysitter?
No. no. I'll change him.
[BABBLING]
Your jammies are all wet.
Yeah, I'll take care of 'em.
I'm up! I'm bouncing!
I'm changing.
Oh, no!
Oh, God, no!
Oh, no! Max!
Max, don't do this to me.
Max! Come out, come out
wherever you are?!
Max! Oh, Max!
He went to the movies.
Don't worry.
Kate's changing him.
Don't ever...ever...ever...
do that to a babysitter.
Here he is.
All fresh and clean.
EDWARD:
Look at that face.
Well, Kate,
I'll take it from here.
Sure. Now.
Think you can stay awake long
enough for us to go to sleep?
Oh, sure can.
Go to sleep, guys.
All right.
Goodnight, Max.
Goodnight, guys. Bye...Honey...
Forget it! Don't even think
about it.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
Oh, that must be them.
Now look partner, don't tell
your mom I fell asleep.
Here we go.
Hi.
Hi. I'm sorry I'm so late.
No problem. I was waiting up
for you guys.
Hi, Maxie.
Here you go. Where's Joe?
I had him drop me off
at home.
Oh. So you didn't tell Joe
about Max.
It was such a nice night.
I didn't want to spoil it.
Besides, we're going out
on Monday night.
I can tell him then.
Another date?
Well, then it
really did go well?
It went great!
You see, I knew it!
I knew you two
would hit it off!
Boy, I'm good at this.
[♪♪♪]
Morning, Kate. Say, Kate.
Where's Dad?
[SCOFFS]
Where else?
Outside "supervising" the work.
JOE:
Swing that header
over this way, Hank.
Look out, Mr. Stratton.
[BOARD THUNKS]
EDWARD:
Ow!
You're sure you're okay,
Mr. Stratton?
I'm okay. I'm not sure
about that two by four.
You better hurry, because I'm
going to work in five minutes.
Who was that woman?
Uh-oh.
Hey, Joe, you want some coffee?
Oh, yeah, thanks.
So...how do you like Beth?
Oh, Rick, I liked her a lot.
A whole lot.
In fact, we're going out
again tonight.
I know.
I-I-I mean, I thought
you would like her, I mean.
Beth really is terrific.
Yeah, and so's her baby.
[CHUCKLES]
[SCOFFS]
Baby? What baby?
Max. Beth's...
ba...
Uh-oh. I think I goofed.
Yeah, that is
another way of putting it.
Joe, Beth was going to tell you
tonight. Honest.
Oh, no. That's okay.
I understand. Really.
I mean, what difference
does it make?
Anyway, I got to get
back out to the baby...
I mean, uh, the backyard.
[CHUCKLES]
[♪♪♪]
Hi.
Hi.
How's my little pal?
[LAUGHS]
Max is fine.
He talks about you
constantly.
So how'd it go
on date number two?
He canceled.
What?
He said he had to work late.
Well, Beth, you know
in that business...
It's okay, Rick.
I kind of expected it after
you told me what happened.
Beth, I'm really sorry
it happened this way.
Don't worry about it.
You know, I don't
have time to date.
I just asked my boss if I could
work some extra hours.
You did?
Yeah.
So if your offer to babysit
Max is still open,
I could really use you to watch
him tomorrow afternoon.
Yeah, sure. He can watch me
play with my computer.
Terrific.
Max loves computers.
See, Max. Like I told you,
it's really very simple.
First, you load your DOS
to boot it up.
Are you listening to me?
Good!
And next, you gotta make sure
it's a . and not a . .
Then you pull out your DOS,
load your Microsoft,
and then enter your password.
Got it?
You see.
I knew you would understand.
Hey, son.
Hey, Dad. How ya doing?
Fine. Getting a little help
with your homework?
Yeah, just with
the Trigonometry.
[CHUCKLES]
Hello, Maxer-Daxer.
How ya' doing?
Is Joe around?
Who cares.
Rick, don't you think you're
being a little tough on him?
It's kind of hard to accept
an instant family.
Dad, who could not want this
little guy in their family?
Yeah. He's kinda hard
to resist, isn't he?
I mean, one look
and I was hooked.
Hey, maybe if I got Joe to...
Rick...
What? What?
[♪♪♪]
Hey, Joe! Perfect! Listen,
could you do me a big favor?
Yeah, what's up?
I've got to split.
Would you watch
Beth's baby for me?
Well, yeah,
I told you're parents...
I'll only need two minutes!
Yeah, but, Rick...
Thanks, Joe. See you later.
Rick--
