Hey, Rick.

Hi, Derek.

By the way,
that's a big improvement.

Yeah, especially
over the girls

I've seen you with.

Ha ha.

I hate to admit it, Rick,
but you sure are lucky.

Just you and your dad,
palling around on a ski weekend.

Yeah, well, uh,
Kate's coming, too.

Oh-oh.

What do you mean,
"Oh-oh"?

Come on, Rick, let's face it.
With Kate up there,

your dad's not gonna be
paying any attention to you.

Once he sees Kate
in those ski pants,

you'll be lucky
if he remembers your name.

Wash out your mind, Derek.

And believe me, with you,
it'll be a short rinse.

Don't get mad at me.
I'm just the messenger.

Look, I'm glad
Kate's going.

We're all gonna have
a wonderful time.

And I'm not gonna allow
your sick imagination

to spoil it.

Attaboy, Rick. Good attitude.

It's totally unrealistic,
but it's good.

Talk all you want, Derek.
It's not bothering me.

Not bothering you, huh?

Tell me, are you
gonna wear that jacket

or lick it and stick it
on a letter?

Last time, my dad didn't pay
any more attention to Kate

than he does to me.

EDWARD: Hey, Rick, hurry up!
We gotta pick up Kate,

we don't want to
keep her waiting!

I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch
what he said.

He's just being polite, Derek.

Yeah, sure.

Here you go, Rick.
You're gonna need this.

The Bible? What for?

Thou shalt have plenty of time
for reading on this trip.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Hello, Mr. Stratton, sir.

Hi, Derek.

[BANGS GONG]

Allow me to extend to you

my sincerest hope
that your impending ski trip

will be filled with moments
that, upon later reflection,

will bring you great joy
and satisfaction.

Well, Derek, let me accept
with gratitude

your good wishes vis-à-vis
my impending ski trip.

And to verify that
we're thinking of you,

we may chance to send a card
of a postal nature.

Uh, Dad,
don't make any promises

we have no intention
of keeping.

Well, that's my cue, sir.
I bid you a fond farewell.

Richard, they have
an excellent library up there.

Derek.

Derek, you know, uh,
I've read somewhere

that there's a little good
in even the worst person.

That must have been written
before you were born.

Dad...
Hmm?

I was wondering.

While you're
teaching me how to ski,

what's Kate gonna be doing?

Well, she'll be
skiing with us.

Oh. Great.

Something the matter, son?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

Just with me and you
doing our father-son stuff,

I'm afraid that poor Kate
might just feel left out.

Aw. Rick, you are
one heck of a kid.

You're so sensitive
to other people's feelings.

I try.

You're right.
We can't let Kate feel left out,

so I'll just make sure

I spend a whole lot of
extra time with her.

Thanks for making me
aware of the problem, son.

Don't mention it.

Kate, are you okay?

Something's wrong.

Rick, help me
get her to the couch.

Honey,
did somebody get hurt?

Somebody
in your... family?

Oh.
Oh.

Well, who is it?

My cat.

She broke her nose.

Aw.
Aw.

Poor Fluffy.

It was awful.
Well, you know how

she likes to
follow me around everywhere.

Well, I was going through
the swinging doors

between the living room
and the kitchen,

and I,
totally without thinking,

I let the door go,

and it slammed
right into Fluffy's nose.

I'll hear that "roww"

for as long as I live.

Aw, honey, I haven't
heard you this upset

since Fluffy had that
terrible hair-ball problem.

Kate, did you take her
to an animal hospital?

Yes. Cedars of Doberman.

Excellent institution.
Fine reputation.

Anyhow, Edward, I-I don't see

how I could go skiing with you
this weekend.

Well, I have to
be with Fluff.

Oh, Kate.

Oh, Kate,
that's too bad.

[MOUTHS]

But I guess it is best
that you stay with Fluffy.

After all, a broken nose
is nothing to sneeze at.

I mean it's real serious.

Well. Kate, we could cancel
our ski trip

and go with you
to the hospital.

Oh, no.
No, I'd rather you two

go skiing, okay,
and enjoy yourself.

You bet, Kate.

Have a good time

and give me a call
when you get back, okay?

All right.
All right.

Here, Kate.

Get Fluffy
a rubber mouse.

Thank you. I will.

Bye.

[SIGHS]

Dad, this is
a real disappointment.

But I think
what we should do right now

is pick ourselves up

and go out
and have a great time.

Kate would want that.

And so would Fluffy.

Hey, wow,
we got a fireplace!

Yeah.

Tonight,
we can roast marshmallows.

Bring any marshmallows?

Uh, no, but we could roast
some Twinkies.

It's not
the same thing, Dad.

Come here.
We got a tiny kitchen!

Yeah, we won't be using it.
We're gonna be eating out.

And pigging out, right?

[SNORTS]

Hey, wow, we got bunk beds.
Six of them no less.

I'll take the bottom three,
you can have the top three.

This weekend's
gonna be awesome.

The awesomest.

Okay,
what do we do first?

Okay, first we go skiing.

Then we come back here,
we change our clothes,

maybe go grab a bite
at the old Grog 'N' Dog,

and then we'll stop by
the main lodge and the arcade

and play a couple of games
of Baby Pac-Man.

And to top off
the whole evening,

we'll relax in the Jacuzzi
to sooth our tired muscles.

You ready
to hit the slopes?

With every part of my body.

Uh, uh, Rick,
go on without me.

I forgot something.

All right.

You know what, Dad?

I only fell 18 times.
I'm proud of myself.

Well, then again,
who's counting, huh?

Uh, sorry, wrong cabin.

No, it isn't.

Ha ha, surprise!

Ah, Rick, Kate's here!
Isn't that great?

[LAUGHS]

Yeah, it's, uh,
it's really great.

Ah. Kate, well, we're thrilled
that you're here,

but what about Fluffy?

Oh, the operation
was a complete success.

I was there
when she woke up.

She saw me and gave me
her crooked little grin,

and then she went...

What does...

mean?

Oh, well, that's Fluffy's way
of saying,

"Go on, get out of here
and enjoy yourself, ya nut."

Cat speaks my language.

Oh. Oh.

Well, let's sit down and eat
while the food is hot.

Why not?
What do we got here?

Hey, roast beef,

baked potatoes,

spinach. Ho ho.

Spinach?

Isn't this fantastic?

Yeah, it's, uh, great.

You can never
get enough spinach.

Aw, Kate,
she even brought some wine.

Yes, our favorite vintage--

Chateau Marmont, 1973.

And, Ricky,
you get milk, of course.

Of course.

Ah, my favorite vintage.

Dean's Dairy,
February 19th.

Aw, Kate,
you look beautiful.

Oh, thank you.

Does anybody know
where the li-bary is?

What was that, son?

Skip it.

A toast to my fair Kate.

Oh.

You're pretty,

you're smart,

and you've
stolen my heart.

Oh, that's so sweet.

[MOUTHS]

Good night, Ricky.

Good night, Kate.

Thanks again for the spinach.

Well, ah. Oh, boy,
these old legs

aren't as limber
as they used to be.

I am really, really bushed.

Hey, son, you better
get into your PJ's, huh?

Yeah, I was wondering,
you know,

if we could have
a chat first?

Mm-hmm. Sure.

Ah, wasn't this evening
just wonderful?

Oh, yeah. You and Kate
got to kiss a lot.

Mm-hmm.

And me? Well,
I'm halfway through Deuteronomy.

That's nice, son. Ah.

Dad?
Hmm?

Now that Kate's here,

are we gonna
have some time to,

you know,
pal around together?

Oh, sure. We will
have to make a few adj--

justments, though. Ooh.

We already have, Dad.

Kate's got
six bunk beds to herself,

and we're sharing a couch.

[LAUGHS]

That's funny, son.

You're a funny--Oh.

Funny...

kid. Mm.

Dad, can I talk to you,
man-to-man?

Oh, sure, son. sh**t.

Well, Dad,
ever since Kate got here,

I've been feeling
kind of left out.

Now, I know-
I know I told you

that I was afraid
that Kate would feel left out.

But I only said that
'cause deep down inside,

I was afraid that
I'd be left out,

and now I am.

I hate to say this,

but I feel like
you're ignoring me.

[SNORING]

Dad?

Dad!

[SNORTS]

Dad, I want to
talk to you about Kate.

Hmm, Kate, ah,
sure looks good in her...

ski pants.

[SNORING]

[THINKS] "Dear Dad..."

"Everyone knows

"that three

"is a crowd.

So I've decided to leave..."

"so that

"you and Kate can...

"be alone.

"Love...

a kid named Rick."

[SNORTS]

[GROANS]

Ow!

Kate. Kate, get in here!

Edward,
what's the matter?

It's Rick. He's gone.
Read this.

Oh, Edward. It's been
snowing all night.

We've got to find him.

Okay, um, um, um, uh, okay.

You call home
and see if he went there,

and I'll-I'll call
the Ski Patrol.

Right.

Here, Kate,
you make both calls,

and I'll see
if he's outside.

Maybe he only left
a couple of minutes ago.

Hello, Jenkins? This is Kate.
Has Ricky come home?

Ricky Stratton!

Never mind.
I guess he hasn't.

Ooh, ah.

Ricky!

[ECHOES]

Ah! Ah!

Ah!

Ooh.

Hello, operator?

Yes, would you get me
the Ski Patrol, please?

They're what?

Oh, my God, that's terrible.

Oh, oh, ah, ah.

Is he home?

No.

Well, did you get
the Ski Patrol?

Not exactly.
There's a blizzard outside,

and there are people
that are missing.

Well, so the Ski Patrol
is looking for them?

No. They're the ones
that are missing.

Okay, don't panic,

Uh, uh, we'll go
to the ski lodge

and organize
our own search party.

Right. Edward!

What?

You can't go
dressed like that.

You're right.

Let's go!

Edward, you just got to keep
telling yourself

that Ricky's all right.

I know.

Well, as soon as
the blizzard is over,

well, we can start
looking for him again.

I know.

Well, at least
we accomplished something.

We did rescue
the Ski Patrol.

Kate, I feel so guilty.

Yesterday, Rick and I

were having
a great time together,

and then you showed up,
and I plain ignored him.

I could kick myself.

And I will

as soon as my leg defrosts.

Oh, Edward,
don't blame yourself.

It's-It's my fault.

Why, you never would've
ignored Ricky

if I hadn't have
shown up.

I should
never have come.

You're right.

Oh, don't be sensitive, Kate.
I'm not blaming you.

I'm just agreeing
it was your fault.

Oh. For a moment there,

I thought
you were blaming me.

Well, it's not even you.
It's any woman.

It just so happens
it was you.

What do you mean,
"any woman"?

I am simply talking about

the intrusion
that a woman makes

on a father-son relationship,
that's all!

I am only saying that

you came in and botched up
the whole works!

You don't have to
take it personally!

Edward.

Honey, I'm sorry.

I'm just...

so... scared.

I've never been this scared
in my whole life.

I want my son back.

You'll get him back.

Safe and sound.

If I do, I swear to you

I will never, ever
ignore him again.

Hi, Dad.

Later, son. I'm--

Rick, we're
worried sick about you.

Oh, son,
are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine,
but didn't you hear?

The Ski Patrol's
looking for a lost kid.

Rick, they're
looking for you!

We thought
you were lost.

That's ridiculous.
I'm not lost. I'm right here.

But you left us a note
saying that you were leaving.

No, no. You see,
I started to leave,

but it was snowing so bad

that I decided
to sleep in the van.

Then when I woke up,
saw you guys weren't here,

I left you another note

telling you
I was in the main lodge

playing video games.

Where? What other note?

I left it
right on the couch.

There's no note
on the couch.

Here you go.

Dad, I owe you
an apology.

You too, Kate.

It was dumb of me
to get jealous

over the attention
my dad was giving you.

I mean,
you guys are in love.

You should give each other
a lot of attention.

I'm just sorry
I caused so much trouble.

Son.

I owe you
an apology, too.

I made you feel like
a third wheel.

And there's absolutely
no excuse for that.

So from now on, whenever you
feel like I'm ignoring you,

I want you to tell me.
Deal?

Deal.

Okay.
Can I have a hug?

You bet.

Dad?
Yeah?

Now I know what it's like
to hug a popsicle.
