So, on behalf of
the parents' association,

I'd like to thank
all of you

For helping to make
this work study program

A reality.

Uh, to the teachers
and parents

For donating
their valuable time.

[Applause]

And to the students,

For giving up
a week of school.

[Cheering]

Tony: all right.
All right, all right.

But lastly,
I'd like to thank

The man who came up
with this innovative idea,

A really nice guy
and, uh,

A shining light
in our community--

Me.

Feel free
to applaud.

Thank you,
thank you, thank you.

Why don't you
help yourself

To some refreshments.

By the way
the bundt cake

Was made by
the shining light.

I can't believe
I get spend a week

Working on wall street!

I'm going to work
in the tv newsroom.

I get to work
at a mortuary.

Hey, it could've
been worse

I could've been stuck
cleaning house with mr. Micelli.

Sorry.

Oh, that's okay kid.
That's okay.

Have fun
in the house of death.

I don't believe
these kids,

I don't understand
why they passed up the chance

To learn domestic
engineering.

I can't believe
they pass up the chance

To work in advertising.

Well, nothing,
nothing angela

But, uh, in your attempt
to give us a realistic view

Of the world of advertising

Your presentation
came off a little dry.

Dry?

Yours was like
licking burlap.

Mine? What?
Are you kidding me?

I had jokes, angela.

Hey, my mr. Clean skull cap
had them rolling in the aisles.

Tony, they weren't
laughing with you.

Oh, no!
We missed it!

You two are in big trouble.

Th whole idea of this program
is to teach responsibility

In today's world.
You can't even be here on time.

Okay dad,
let me explain, okay?

No, no, please.
Let me guess.

You stopped
for a sandwich,

And there was this
really cute guy?

That is not
what happened at all.

Yeah, we stopped for gas,

And there was
this really cute guy.

Well,
we're here now.

So, what, are all
the good jobs taken?

No, no, no. The two best
are still left.

Oh, really what?
The record producer?

The tv news director?
What?

The clown?

Hey, I like the shoes.

The two internships
that are left

Are with the
advertising mogul

And the
domestic engineer.

Are you sure
the clown is taken?

So girls,
who wants to learn

How to balance
the household budget?

Who wants to watch a jeans
commercial being shot?

Who wants to make
their own hours?

Who wants to take
those jeans home

After the commercial's done?

Who wants to learn
how to wash those jeans

Without shrinking them?

Who wants to drive my jag
for the weekend?

What are you...

The choice is obvious--
I'll take dad.

You're kidding!

Great. Then I'll get angela.

What time should I be ready
for work, boss?


For success.

And how about me, dad?


Dress for a mess.

I don't get it.

Why didn't you
pick angela?

Because I've worked
in angela's office before.

And believe me,
she can be real intense.

She doesn't seem
that bad.

Oh, bonnie, on second thought
make it 7:00 sharp.

We've got a full day
ahead of us.

I hope you get
static cling.

Don't be bitter,
bonnie.

Well, angela, huh?

Everything worked out.

You got bonnie.
I got sam.

We both got
our little proteges.

Well, yeah, yeah,

You know, bonnie's great,

But I was kind of hoping
sam would've picked me.

Well, you know,

Sam probably
was too smart

To be, you know,
pulled in

By your slick
"mad ave" pitch.

Slick? A few minutes ago,
you told me I was too dry.

It's a fine line,
angela.

[Doorbell rings]

I'll get it!

Bonnie,
you look so...

So miserable.

Thanks.

You look...

...so comfortable.

Hey, it's not like
I'm taking this week off.

Do you think
I'm gonna have fun today?

Do you think
I'm gonna spend the whole day

Just sunning myself
and sipping lemonade?

I guess not.

Just from noon to 3:00

When my dad's
in philosophy class.

I hate you.
I hate you. I hate you.

Come on bonnie, just forget

About what I said
last night, okay?

Well, it's not
gonna be so bad.

You'll probably even have fun
in angela's office today.

Why? Is angela sick today?

Tony?
Mm-hmm?

I had the worst dream
last night.

I was the catcher
in a trapeze act.

We were performing


In the air
without a net.

Yeah?
Rather than
grabbing my hand,

My partner
opted for death.

What do you
think that means?

Well, it means
that you're either

You know,
you're feeling rejected

'Cause none of the kids
picked you last night

Or you're not
getting enough sex.

The first one.
Definitely.

Oh, the working girls
have arrived!

Oh, look at them.

You know, I really must
pat myself on the back.

Here's a chance
for our young folk

To become contributing
members of society, huh?

Yeah, dad. Have you seen
the coppertone?

Come on. We have
a full day ahead of us.

Yes, a day chocked full
of subservience, drudgery,

And mind-numbing boredom.

Mother!

At least i
get paid for it.

Bye.
Have a good day.

Okay, bye.
Have fun, bonnie.

Now, let's see here.

So, dad,
I'm all yours.

Yeah, all right. Well,
listen I'm in a hurry

'Cause I got a lot
of errands to run

Before I get to school.

School? Oh, I plum
forgot about that.

Oh, well, not to worry.

I'll find something
to keep myself busy.

Oh, don't sweat it.
Don't sweat it.

I made you a list.
There you go.

"Budgeting,

"Nutritional
planning,

House repairs."

Great! No cleaning.

Oy.

Sam, let me give you
my philosophy

On household
management.

You know,
a lot of people think

Running a house
is simply a matter of chores.

But nay, a household
is an intricate ecosystem

Where man
and house coexist

In peaceful,
harmonic symbiosis.

I have to make
jonathan's bed?

Sam, sam,
we don't make beds, sam.

We create a peaceful
sleeping environment.

You see, sam,
a peaceful house

Leads to
peaceful thoughts,

And peaceful thoughts
lead to peace of mind,

And peaceful minds lead
to peace in the world.

Start with the toilets.

Oh, but, dad, i--

Go in peace.

"August '86,

"Muskegon,

"30% Reach.

"August '86,

"Moline,



Ugh!

August '86--

Bonnie: hold it
typo alert.

Oh, you're right.

What should we do?

Let it go.

"August '86--

Oh, good!
You're almost through

With the market
research reports.

Guess it's kind of exciting
to see the nuts and bolts

Behind the glitz
and glamour, huh?

Please stay seated
until the ride

Comes to a full
and complete stop.

Bonnie, would you bring me
the current anderson file?

Sure.

Oh, mother,
there's a typo here.

Bonnie...

Oh, no, dear. I said
the current file.

Here.

Well, how did you
do that so fast?

I put red dots
on all this year's files.

Red dots?

Well, I tried
to stop her.

What initiative!

Er, I helped.

You know, I think we should
incorporate your system

Into all our files.

I'll get started.

How about every year
gets its own color?

That's good.
That's very good.

Traitor!

I'm sorry, mona.
I didn't think.

Yeah? Well, let's keep it
that way, huh?

[Telephone rings]

Bower agency.

Bonnie?

Sam, how's it going?

Ugh, horrible.

My dad's into all this
weird philosophy.

He just proved to me

That dust doesn't
exist in a vacuum.

Wow. Far out.

He is driving me nuts.

I want to go back
to where I'm happy

Where I'm loved.

Bonnie, I want
to go back to school.

Sam, you're
talking crazy.

I mean it. I've--

Bonnie:
hold, please.

Bonnie, I just had
the most wonderful idea.

I'm lunching
with some clients.

I thought it would be
good learning experience

For you to sit in.

So how would you like lunch
at the russian tea room?

For free?

Yeah.

You get ready. We'll leave
in a few minutes.

Sorry, sam.
Get this--

Angela's taking me
to a business lunch

At the russian tea room.

Oh, really?
I hear it's real nice.

I'll let you know. Bye.

Bye.

I wonder what yoda
has planned for me next.

Will you hurry up?
I can't hear!

Maybe if you pick up
your feet, worm!

You missed a spot.

You are
such a creep!

I'm gonna
tell your dad.

Oh, please do.

Then maybe
I'll get fired.

Hi, honey. I'm home.

What's for dinner?

Dinner? You want me
to make dinner, too?

Yes, sam, it's number 23
on your list.

I'm on 4.

All right.
All right, sam.

Take it easy,
take it easy.

I have my days
where I feel

Unappreciated, undervalued,
and underpaid,

But then sam,
I step back

And I take a look
at the big picture,

And I realize, wow,
it's all worthwhile.

Dad, you're
scaring me.

No, I mean it,
sweetheart.

This house looks great
because of you,

And the people
that live here

They're gonna be
better for it.

My little baby.

It does look good.

♪ home,
home on the range ♪

♪ where jonathan
is mentally deranged ♪

♪ where the beds
are all made ♪

♪ and the bills
are all paid ♪

♪ and jonathan's
still mentally deranged ♪

Ugh!
Sam: hi.

Having bonnie
at work in the office

Was a complete disaster.

What'd she do?

She worked!

Come on. What?

Well, if you really
want to know...

I do! I do!

I was thinking kind of
along the lines

Of a river phoenix
type.

I love it,
I love it!

Rugged,
yet vulnerable.
Yeah.

Hi, guys.

Angela: oh, hi.
What's going on?

Oh, nothing.
Just shop talk.

Yeah,
bonnie's helping me

With my new sportswear
commercial.

She's giving me
a teen perspective.

Oh, a teen perspective.

I can't believe that I'm helping
to make decisions

That will affect millions
and millions of consumers,

Assuming those mixed-up
demographics

In dallas don't skew.

Do they
have a wacky cpm?

So, honey,
how was your day?

Oh, great.
I made decisions

That will affect people
who make decisions

That affect millions
and millions of consumers.

Sweetheart, the house
looks wonderful.

You are both
doing a great job.

I am so proud of you.

Okay, she's gone.
Tell me the truth.

How was it?

Well, some parts of the job
were really boring.

Ha! I told you!
I told you.

But being with angela
made up for it.

Angela?

I don't know what
you're talking about before.

I mean, she's smart,
she's funny.

And she doesn't treat you
like a kid.

Hey, I know
she's cool.

She's funny?

Oh, bonnie, bonnie

Since we accomplished
so much today,

Why don't we give
ourselves a break,

Go in
at 8:00 tomorrow.

Great.

By the way
it was really a joy

To have you
in the office today.

Same here.

Okay.

Get some rest.
Okay.

Oh, sam, thanks for
setting me up with angela.

Bye.

You're welcome.

Samantha.

Samantha,
I am so proud of you.

Nary a crumb.

Good morning.

Hey, good morning,
angela.

Oh, tony,

I had the most wonderful
dream last night.

Oh, yeah?
Who did you k*ll off,
siegfried or roy?

No, no, no.

This time I was the center ring
of the circus--

The beautiful
bareback rider,

I stood on the horse's back
with a sparkler in each hand.

The wind blew my gossamer gown
as if I were an angel.

Finally, I was queen
of the big top.

What do you think
that means?

Well,
it means you're,

You know, finally
feeling accepted,

Or you're
getting too much--

[Doorbell rings]

I'll get it!

Great. You're here.

Hi. Why are you
dressed like that?

We have
to switch jobs.

What?

I really, really want
to work with angela.

Please, I'm begging you
as a friend.

No! I found something
that's important to me,

Something I'm good at

Something that could be
a lifelong career.

Sam, I believe my future
is in advertising.

I'll loan you
my leather jacket.

Okay.

Hey, girls!
All right!

Morning!
Ready for work?

Great news.

Bonnie and I have
just decided to switch jobs.

What?

Bonnie, I thought
you were happy at my office.

She was.

And I thought
you were happy with me?

I was.

We were both
very, very happy,

But we're
also curious,

Curious about
each other's lifestyles.

Dad, we're women
of the nineties.

We want it all.

Oh, sam,
wait a minute.

I'm not sure
that, you know,

This program's
about jumping around.

Dad,
we're not jumping.

We're sampling
new horizons.

Yeah,
but commitment, sam.

Commitment is important.

Look, I am committed
to meeting a client

In 50 minutes.

The train leaves
in about five.

So, one of you working girls
please come with me.

You got one.
Bye, dad.

Okay.

Well, bonnie,
did I ever tell you

That dust doesn't
exist in a vacuum?

I've heard that.

Angela, isn't this great,
just you and me?

Yeah, well,
between just you and me,

Did I do anything
to offend bonnie?

Oh, no, no, no.

It wasn't you, angela.
I think it was bonnie.

She didn't
want you to know this,

But she gets nauseous
on the train.

So do i.

Hey, bonnie,
did sam want out

Because I was too rough
on her yesterday?

Well, she did call
and complain.

Oh, I knew it.
I knew it.

I was too hard on her.
I overwhelmed her.

I mean, she's only 16.

She's not ready
for symbiosis.

Are any of us,
really?

Don't worry, bonnie. I've
learned the error of my ways.

You're going to learn
housekeeping,

But as god as my witness,
you're going to have fun.

Uh-oh.

[Telephone rings]

Mona, can
you get that?

[Ringing]

Mona.

[Ringing]

Mona, can you--

Never mind.
I'll get it.

Thanks.

Bower agency.

Hold on.
Let me check.

Uh, yeah, 3:00
will be fine.

Okay. I'll let
angela know.

Thanks. Bye.

Uh, sam,
a word of advice...

If you keep
working this hard,

You'll die young.

Trust me.

Mona, I just want
angela to know

That I'm committed.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, angela,
I was thinking about

The sportswear account.

A river phoenix type
would be all wrong.

I was thinking more
along the lines

Of, like, johnny depp.

Uh, sweetheart not now.
This is a crazy day.

Has anybody seen
the mcmahon file?

Oh, angela, it's
at your fingertips.

I put all of
this year's files

In this file cabinet.
Easy access.

Not really.

Sure it is.

Sam, the reason
we don't put the files in there

Is because
the lock's broken.

Mother, get me
a locksmith, pronto.

I need that file.

Never mind.
I'll do it myself.

Thanks.

Angela, I'm--
I'm really sorry.

Uh, it-- it's ok.

As soon as the, uh,
locksmith comes,

Get the files back, put them
where bonnie had them please.

Oh, and sam one more thing
will you call

The russian tea room.
All right!

And cancel lunch at 12:30.

I'm sorry.
I'm just gonna be tied up

With this mcmahon thing
all day.

Okay. Well, you know,
I just confirmed

Mr. Tate at 3:00.

Sam, I can't be
ready by 3:00.

Look, I know you're
trying to help,

And I appreciate it,
but, you better check with me

Before you make
these kinds of decisions.

Okay?
Oh, and, mother...

Mother!

Yes!
Rock-'n'-roll!

Yay! Yoo!

Tony: hey, bonnie,
you having fun?

Yes, mr. Micelli,
for the bazillionth time,

I'm having fun.

Tony: it only
gets better from here.

♪ mr. Clean will clean
your whole house ♪

♪ and everything
that's in it ♪

♪ mr. Clean and bonnie
clean the house ♪

♪ and who could be
agin' it ♪

♪ mr. Clean, mr. Clean,
mr. Clean ♪

Telly savalas, right?

No, not telly savalas.

Mr. Clean.

You know,
the cleaning guy.

Good one.

I should have done
josephine the plumber.

Maybe tomorrow.

Bonnie. Dad.

Hi, bonnie.
Hi, tony.

I told the clinic
he wasn't ready.

Dad, can I borrow bonnie
for a minute?

Oh, and by the way
that earring is not you.

[Sniggering]

We have to switch
jobs again.

No way. He's doing
josephine tomorrow.

Besides, I thought you wanted
to be with angela.

No. I don't want to work
with angela anymore.

Tony: uh...

Hey, bonnie, why don't we
call it a day.

Okay. Mr. Micelli.

The muffins
are in the oven,

And the laundry
is folded,

And the coupons
are clipped,

And nobody seems
to care. Bye.

Ok, sam.
What's going on here?

Uh...well, I'm--

I'm just not sure
that advertising
is my calling.

Well, I thought housekeeping
wasn't your calling.

Yeah, but it's
calling me back.

Tony, I think I know
what the problem is.

Sam, I'm sorry
about lunch

And I'm sorry
that I was short with you

About the filing cabinet.

I guess
I'm just not much fun.

Hey, yo, angela.

Stop apologizing.

Hey, sam,
you don't quit a job

'Cause it's not fun.

I mean, you can't go
through life flip-flopping.

Look at bonnie.
She doesn't have that kind--

Yeah, bonnie has
a great attitude.

She's the one
that came up

With the brilliant
red dot theory!

She's the one angela took
to the russian tea room.

And she's the one
that angela likes.

I do like bonnie...

But I love you.

I didn't think you wanted
to be with me.

I didn't think you
wanted to be with me.

I didn't think anybody
wanted to be with me.

Sam, I guess I feel

That sometimes
you think I'm a drag.

No.

I don't.

Well, sometimes,

But a lot of my friends

Feel that way
about their mothers.

Tony,
did you hear that?

She called me "mother."

I heard, I heard.

I just feel so loved.

So do i.

Me, too.

Tony: who's the boss?
will be back in a moment.

stick around.

Okay, ladies.
Have a nice day
at the office.

Okay, dad.
[Doorbell rings]

Oh, here's my
little helper.

Hi, bonnie. Why are you
dressed like that?

See you later.
Bye.

Wait a minute. You can't
take both of them!

Oh, then who's going
to help me?

Aah!
