If I knew that,
I wouldn't be sitting here

Watching
the love connection.

You know where we're going
for winter break?

Fort lauderdale--
where 10,000 kids

Meet on 5,000
beach blankets.

Oh, boy,
I wish I were the guy

With the clearasil
concession.

h* h* h* h*.

Hello, ladies.

Bonnie, bonnie.

Samantha,
my sweetheart.

And mona,
sweet mona.

Oh, what a day
this has been.

I just feel terrific.

So, now would be
a good time to ask you

For something, right?
You bet.

Dad, can I go
to fort lauderdale

For winter break?

Hmm...yes.

Yes?

Yes. Yes, yes, yes.

In fact, I was at the parents'
association meeting last night,

And they asked me
to chaperon the class trip.

No. No, no, no.

Oh, sam, sam.

I know what you're thinking.
I know what you're thinking.

Papa "cramp-your-style"
micelli.

But no, sam,
not this time.

I discussed it
with angela last night.

And I promise,
I will not embarrass you.

You won't even know
I'm there, okay?

♪ hey, where
the boys are ♪

♪ papa's sure to be ♪

Dad.

Tony: sam, sam,
I'm just joshing with you.

Kids today,
no whimsy.

Oh, I should just stay home.

Oh, no.
You are going to go,

And you're going
to take angela with you.

Oh, that will
make it better.

Don't you see?
It's a perfect plan.

She'll keep tony occupied,

And I'll get a chance

To hunt down the keys

To her safe deposit box.

Mona,
you're a lifesaver.

Yeah.

Hi.
Bonnie: hi.

Angela.
Angela: yeah.

Crazy thought.

Wouldn't it be neat

If you came to fort
lauderdale with us

And you and dad could be
like co-chaperones?

You want me to keep him
out of your hair, huh?

Would you?

I'd love to, honey,

But I may be needed here.

Jonathan has a big date
this weekend,

Chelsea tyler.

Way to go, studley.

Our little man may need me
around for moral support.

It's okay, ma.
Go.

What? No.
Are you sure?

Yes, ma. Go.
Yes, ma. Go.

[♪♪♪]

Tony: oh, hey.
Check out this--

Ooh. Hey, nice catch, man.

Hey, um, well, uh,
excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Sorry.

Sorry. Terribly sorry.
No.

No, no.
Let's go this way here.

Tony, wait. That space
over there was fine.

Angela, I want a spot where all
the kids can sit together.

Come on.
Oh, why don't we go over there?

We'll just ask this woman
to move a little to the left.

Oh, sure. No problem.
No problem here.

Uh...

Well, angela,
I can't ask her to move now.

Oh, why not?

Tony.

Yeah.
Fine. We can squeeze in here.

Yeah. All right.

Bonnie: oh, I'm in heaven.

We've got the beach.
We've got the sun.

We've got 10,000 guys.

attention, attention,

fairfield high
junior class.

Oh, god,
he's amplified.

orientation meeting
right now,

dead east
of the topless woman.

Angela.

I thought you were gonna keep
him under control.

I'm sorry. He slipped
the bullhorn past me.

We're counting on you
to distract him.

Okay.

Okay, g*ng. Come on
in here, kids.

Gather 'round.
Gather 'round.

Now...

We're all down here
on vacation,

And I know you're here
to have fun.

That's okay with me.

Cool with me, too.

Anyway, since you're
down here to have fun--

This place is gonna swing

Bigger than a fine
young cannibals concert.

You know,
she drives me crazy.

I can relate.

Anyway, if you
act responsibly

And use a little
common sense,

You can do
anything you like,

Except for the 13 things
that I've written down

On these flyers.

Please pass them out.

Thank you.

Now, remember,
don't do anything

I would do.

You like that?

Uh, sam, sam, sam, sam,

Do I detect
a little attitude here?

Dad, it's just that
all of these kids

Are here to get away
from school and their parents

And all I'm getting away
from is school.

Oh, okay. Okay, I get that.
I see it, I see it.

I'll tell you what.

Don't think of me
as your dad.

Think of me
as your chaperon, huh? Okay.

I won't be any more
protective of you

Than I am
of the other kids.

Hey, sam. Look
who talked to me.

This is tim
and gene.

I don't like them.

But what do I know?

Uh, hi, I'm sam.

And this is my
chaperon tony.

Hi, guys. How you doing?
How's it going?

Tim and gene are waiters
at the hotel.

Yeah. Come on, sam,
we'll show you
where locals hang out.

Really?
Where's that?

Where there aren't
any chaperons.

Great.
See you later, tony.

Bye.

Well, how nice.

They made
friends already.

Yeah, yeah,
yeah, sure, sure.

How nice.

remember, sam,

10:00 curfew.


Aw, tony.

All right, all right.
I know.

I should trust
her judgment.

all right, sam, I trust
your judgment.

disregard
previous message.

sam, sam,
do you hear me, sam?

It's all right.
She heard me.

Tony, the girls
are gonna be fine.

Can we just enjoy the day?

You know, you're right,
angela, huh?

Hey. Hey.

Slick me down, mama.

Spf-20.

Yeah, hard to believe,

But I'm sun sensitive.

Okay, here we go.

Ahh.

Hey, did I just feel
a drop,

Or are you drooling?

Let's put it
this way, tony.

There isn't a cloud
in the sky.

Ooh, angela.

[Thunder]

Oh.

Tony: oh, angela.

I just did my hair.

Can I help you?

Tony, tony.

Mona: so where are you taking
chelsea tonight?

Oh, I've got it
all planned.

First we're going
to captain andy's

For the all-you-can-eat
shrimp special,

Then we're going to see
a fish called wanda,

And then we're top the night out
for some dancing

At the shark's den.

Get it?
It's a theme night.

Fish?

No. Fun.

I want chelsea to know
how much I like her.

Well, honey, don't try
so hard, huh?

Just be yourself.

She'll like you.

Thanks, grandma.

Can I borrow
some money?

Of course, honey.

I keep it in your mother's
jewelry drawer.

And the key
is underneath

Her dresser.
Okay.

And...

While you're there,
get some for me, too.

[Telephone rings]

Hello.

Ahoy, chelsea.

Wait, you can't make it?

Well, don't you want
to tell him yourself?

Oh.

Man overboard.

Great winter break.

I wish we had some guys
to hang out with.

[Knock on door]

It's guys.

Wow, you're good.

Quick, wish for
a range rover.

Oh, hello.

Room service.

We didn't order
anything...

But I can
always eat.

No, no.
This is on the house.

We wanted you
to feel at home.

Yeah. Just think of us
as the welcome committee.

Well, welcome.

Ooh, look,
deviled ham.

Uh, I think maybe
we should leave that open.

It's number six on
the chaperon's list.

Come on. Who cares
about the chaperon?

Well,
he's also my dad.

So?

I've made a few dads mad
in my time.

I just feel so sorry
for the kids.

It's supposed to rain
all weekend.

Uh-huh? Well, don't feel
too sorry, angela,

Because a good chaperon
always comes prepared

With rainy day fun--
check this out here.

Knock hockey, huh?

Charades.

Making origami animals.

Ooh, I'm getting excited
already.

Let's get the kids, huh?

Uh, tony, no, no.
No, no.

I mean, why don't we
just sit here

And watch the rain?

All right.
Watch the rain?

Yeah.
All right. Uh-hmm.

Okay,
that's enough rain.

Let's go get the kids.

I mean look at it.

Okay, all right.

Okay. Looking at the rain.

Isn't it cozy?

You coming down
with a cold, angela?

No.

It's just that I always find

The rain romantic.

What do you find
romantic, tony?

Uh, I don't know. Uh...

Sinatra's...

Sunsets, candlelight,

These are a few
of my favorite things.

How about
whispering breezes?

Waves crashing
on a short dawn?

The crackling of logs
in a fireplace?

Those are good too.

You know, tony,

I think you and I
have the same fire in our souls.

Angela, what are you
doing here?

She's coming
on to you, dummy.

No. No, no, no.
I wasn't coming on to you.

I was just trying
to distract you.

Well, take it easy
on that stuff, will you?

I'm sorry. I just don't know
my own strength.

Angela.

Yes, tony?

Gin rummy--


You got it.
Okay. Yeah, let me see here.

Can I get a deck
of cards?

So gene forgot my suit,

And we wind up
at this fancy restaurant

Wearing jams and thongs.

Don't that beat all?

You guys are lucky.

You get to party
all year round.

No. You know what's
really lucky?

Meeting two girls
like you.

Come on. You guys meet
girls all the time.

No, but you two
are special.

Yeah...

Real special.

Really?

Tim: I mean, you're not like
the girls down here.

You're classy.

Yeah...

Real classy.

Well, my mother
was an equestrian.

I have a great idea.

Nah, better not.

What? What?

What?

Well, I was just thinking of
inviting you two down

To see our apartment.

You know, see how
the locals live.

Oh. Hold on, tim. I mean,
maybe we shouldn't do that.

I mean, we don't want
to give the girls

The wrong idea.

Well, I don't have
the wrong idea.

I don't have
any idea.

Perfect.
Let's go.

Yeah, let's go.

Hey!

We're not going
anywhere.

Why not?
Because, bonnie,

These guys
are total sleazes.

No, they're not.

Are you?

Bonnie, don't ask them.

Uh, gene, would you take
bonnie and heat up

The jacuzzi, please?

My pleasure.

That's it.

That's it.

Out. Out.

Out, out, out.

Go! Out!

Do you believe
those guys?

I don't believe you.

Oh, come on, bonnie.

Those guys hit on
every tourist

That come down here.

They won't even remember
our names tomorrow.

You mind if I make
my own decisions?

Don't run my life.

I'm not running
your life.

Yes, you are. You're always
telling me what to do.

Bonnie, I saved you.

Yeah, from having
a good time.

Bonnie, you were in
over your head.

Hey, I don't need a lifeguard
or a mother.

And I don't want you
as my roommate, either.

Fine.

Fine.

And your mother
was an aquarian,

Not an equestrian.

Gin.

Again?

Yes.

You haven't won
one yet.

"You haven't won
one yet."

Let's see. At two cents a point,
that means you owe me...

$68.

You know, angela,
it's a short walk

From crackling logs

To wanting a ring
in your neck.

You wanna play
another game?

No.

Oh. Oh, look,
there's sam. She--

Sam! She looks like
she needs me.

I'm gonna pass
on the game.

Chicken.
Bawk! Bawk!
Bawk! Bawk!

Yo, mrs. Rabinowitz,

How about a little
game of chance?

Sam, sam, what's going on?

Everything okay?

Sure.

Oh, come on. Come on, honey,
what's the matter?

What's the matter?

Well...

All right.

It has to do
with boys and sex.

Okay.

All right, look.

I knew this was going
to happen someday

And I'm prepared,
I'm ready for it.

Go ahead.
No, no.

It's not my boy
and it's not my sex.

Thank you, god.

It's bonnie.

What?
But don't worry, dad.

I threw the guys
out of the room.

Thank you again.

And then bonnie
threw me out of the room

Because I threw
the guys out of the room.

I'm starting to get this,
and I like it.

Bonnie said that
I was running her life

And sticking my nose
into her business.

Well, you know what
this means, don't you?

It means that you
are just like me.

No, I am not.

Oh, yes, you are.

No, dad. I just felt
that bonnie needed--

Your guidance.
Right. Exactly.

And that she was
going to get--

Gonna get herself in trouble
if you didn't intervene.

Right. And look,
I may have--

Come on a little strong,
but only did it

Because you love her.

Exactly.

It's a done deal, sam.

You are a carbon copy
of your old man.

I am not.

Well, I wish I had
a mirror right now.

Look, dad, I may have
dark hair,

I may have brown eyes,
and I may be italian,

But I'm not like you.

Oh. Hey, hey.
Easy there, sam.

You know,
there are a lot worse people

You could be like.

Try nicolae ceausescu.

I am not
bonnie's mother.

If she wants to hang
around with jerks,

Then that's
her decision.

Oh. Hey, you know,
there's a lot of guys

Who would like
to be like me, sam.

A lot of guys.

Take ernie,
our water man, huh?

He says I'm a hip dude.

The man has me
on a pedestal.

Gene: yeah. So anyway, we had
a couple of babes lined up,

But tim's turned out
to be a stiff.

Oh, but her friend, though--
she was a pushover.

All right.

Hey, you know something?

Tim's up
in her room right now.

Yeah?

Listen, at least one of us
is gonna get lucky, huh?

Man: right.

Okay, I'm ready.

What's wrong, grandma?

Great news, pal.

What? What?

Are you ready for this?
What? What?

Your date canceled.

All right!
Yes!

Oh, no.

I thought this one
liked me.

Okay, jonathan.
So you got dumped.

Don't sugar-coat it,
grandma.

Don't you see?

This is a wonderful
opportunity for you.

This is your chance
to call up

The prettiest girl
in school

And ask her out.

Well,
that's tiffany simmons,

But she's probably
out on a date.

The prettiest girls
are always home.

You wanna know why?

Because guys think
that somebody else

Already
asked them out,

So they don't call.

So call her.

You know the number?

I memorized
all the girls' numbers

Just in case one day
I became popular.

Hi, tiffany,
it's jonathan bower.

Oh, I understand.

Okay, okay.

There's your warmup
call, huh?

Now, you get back
on the phone,

And you call the second
prettiest girl.

And if she
turns you down,

You try the third,
and the fourth,

Till you find
that lucky girl.

Okay, but this could
take a while.

I have all weekend.

[Laughter]

Okay, sleazeball,
out of here.

Dad, what are you
doing here?

I'm doing
my chaperon thing.

He burst in here
when he heard I was with tim.

How did you know?

Tony: oh, sam, sam, sam.

A good chaperon always
has an intricate network

Of well-placed sources.

That's all I can say.

So, uh, where is tim?

Bonnie threw him out of here
before I even got here, huh?

Good girl, bonnie.
[Chuckles]

Yeah. So, what are you
doing here?

Oh, I came to get
my toothbrush.

Oh, oh, yeah,
sure, sure, sure, sure.

Well, my work
is done here.

Chaperon man
is needed elsewhere.

[Door closes]

You didn't come here
for your toothbrush.

You're right. I came
to get my nightgown,

And I'm gonna get
my toothbrush, too.

So, uh, why did you
kick tim out?

Well, because he called me
special, unique,

And...

Carlotta.

Carlotta?

Yeah. I guess you're right about
him not remembering my name.

You know,

Since all your stuff
is already here

And it's so late,

Why don't you
just stay?

That would probably
be easier.

Hey, bonnie, you wanna
go the coffee shop

And get
something to eat?

All this arguing
has made me hungry.

Sure, just don't let me order
anything chocolate.

I don't want
to break out.

I'll watch you
like a hawk.

Thanks, mom.

Are you done?

Hey, you know what?

All this arguing
has made me hungry.

Wanna go down to the coffee
shop and pig out?

Wow! That's what
sam just said.

You two
are so much alike.

Whoo, hoo, hoo,
hoo, hoo, hoo.

Dad.

Oh, I know, I know.

I know god forbid you should
be like your father.

No. Actually,
it's not so bad.

I'm sorry I gave you
such a hard time before.

No, it's okay, honey.

But you know,

I knew you were gonna say that
because, you know,

First you blow up,
then you feel bad,

Then you apologize
just like me.

Dad. Dad--
see? See? See?

Now you're getting defensive
just like I get defensive.

No, I'm not.
I just want to explain--

See? Now you're rationalizing
your defensiveness

Just like I do.

I'm just gonna shut up.

Huh?

Now that's something
you wouldn't have done.

But that's not true,
samantha. That's not true.

I don't always
have to talk.

I don't always have
the last word.

I could shut up.
Are you kidding me?

Well, if there's one thing
I like, it's silence.

My favorite song
is the sounds of silence.

♪ hello, darkness,
my old friend... ♪

who's the boss will be back
in a moment. Stick around.

Jonathan: hello,
this is jonathan bower.

Want to go out
with me?

You do?

Hey, great.

I'll see you
in half an hour.

All right!

What? What is it, nhuh?

After 37 calls,
I finally got a date.

Okay, slugger.
Who's the lucky girl?

It's...it's...

Hi,
this is jonathan bower.

Do we have
a date tonight?

Oh.

Hi, this
is jonathan bower.

Do we have
a date tonight?

[Dialing number]

Jonathan: hi,
this is jonathan bower.

Do we have
a date tonight? Oh.

[Dialing number]

Jonathan: hi,
this is jonathan bower.

Do we have
a date tonight? Oh.
