RICKY: Last week
on Silver Spoons.

Veronica.

Edward. [GASPS]

-Hello.
-Hello.

[BOTH LAUGH]

I'm taking a wild guess here.
You guys know each other.

For the rest of that summer
we were together

every possible moment.

Yeah.

I was very much in love
with you.

And I with you.

I wanna talk to you about
your dad and my mom.

What about 'em?

They used to be in love
with each other.

-Come on.
-Yeah.

-Get out of here.
-Really.

-You're lying.
-I swear.

When they were camp counselors.

They had a romantic
summer fling.

-Come on.
-Yeah.

-Get out of here.
-Really.

-You're lying.
-I swear.

We had a mad passionate
summer romance.

-[SIGHS]
-Ah, well, Veronica.

Now, Edward is having a mad
passionate Summers romance.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

My mother told me she was
going to get your father back.

And my mother always gets
what she wants.

RICKY: And now, part two
of "A Summers Romance".

Excuse me.

No, wait, wait. Kate, please.
I-- I can explain.

Yes?

Thanks for clearing that up.

Wait.

I realize it looked like
my dad was kissing her,

but there has to be
another explanation.

Such as?

Uh, well, a snake bit her
on the lip,

my dad was sucking out
the poison.

Right?

[CHUCKLING] Yeah.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Nice try, Son.

Listen, uh,
this is an awkward situation.

-Maybe I should leave.
-No, no.

You stay. I'll leave.

Hold it. Neither one of you
needs to leave.

I'll leave.

Edward, please let me go.

Anyway, I have to start
cooking dinner.

Oh? It seems to me you've
been cooking all afternoon.

Miss Summers, I realize
that you're upset.

Oh, me? Upset?

Just because I found
the man I love

in the arms of another woman?

Get out.

And take your ding hoy with you.

Goodbye, Edward.
I'll see you later.

Much later. [CHUCKLES,
CLEARS THROAT]

[SIGHS]

-Honey--
-Don't... touch me.

Hey, listen. A game
of Triple Yahtzee

right now would be...

a real lousy idea.

Okay, Edward.

Let's talk about you
and Veronica Largebottom.

That's Cranbottom.

The point is, didn't you
assure me just last night

that she would stay
strictly in your past?

Yep. And when he said it,
he meant it, Kate.

And didn't you tell me

that I was the only woman
you want?

Yep. He meant that, too.

So, how come he was
kissing Veronica?

Do you wanna field this one,
Dad?

Yeah, I do, Son.

But in private. Okay, Kate?

I understand.

This is a problem
that you guys have

to work out for yourselves,
right?

That's right, Rick.

So, please...

don't be influenced by the fact
that if you guys split up...

I will be emotionally scarred
for the rest of my life.

Edward, I don't understand.

Things were going
so good for us.

I know, I know.

We even scored a 92
on the Cosmo compatibility test.

I know, I know.

So, what's with you
and Veronica?

I don't know. I don't know.

[SIGHS] Honey... I was working
at my desk

and Veronica came in
and she wanted us

to have a picnic, kind of,
for all time sake.

And we... started reminiscing
about old times.

And before I knew it,
we were...

kissing.

Kate, sit down, please.

[SIGHS] Kate... I told you

I used to be in love
with Veronica.

And I had the bug
pretty bad back then.

We went our separate ways
and it ended but...

now I see her again
after all these years,

and I'm kinda getting...

re-infected.

Like the fever comes back,
you know.

Kind of like... malaria.

-She's malaria?
-Yeah.

What am I, a passing rash?

Of course not, honey.

You are a very
serious disease.

-Thanks a lot.
-No, that's not what I mean.

-Well, what do you mean?
-Well, Kate, I'm not sure.

[SIGHS] I wish I could tell you
that I just succumbed to,

uh, a moment's temptation,
but... [INHALES]

...the honest truth is...

I'm confused about how I feel
about Veronica.

Well...

I admire your honesty.

And I feel that I should be
as honest with you.

[BLOWS A RASPBERRY]

Edward, I think you should
confront your confusion.

You should sort things out fast.

I will.

And I'll do a little sorting
of my own.

But as far as Miss Malaria
is concerned...

I suggest you take two aspirin

and stick your head
in a bucket of quinine.

[RICKY SIGHS]

Dad, are you in love
with Veronica Cranbottom?

Maybe.

No.

Maybe.

Yes.

No.

Maybe.

Dad, is it possible
for a guy to be in love

with two women at the same time?

Not if both women
know about it.

Last summer, I thought
I was in love with two girls.

Carla and Jill.
I was so mixed up.

But I finally realized
that Carla was the girl for me.

How did you decide?

Jill moved to New Jersey.

I don't think my problem

is going to be solved
that easy, Son. [SIGHS]

Kate...

Veronica.

[SIGHS] Somehow
I've got to choose.

Edward, as per your request,
I've compiled a number of

potential investments for you.
So, if you'd just...

Edward.

Ah. I'm-- I'm sorry, Dex.
[SIGHS]

Dexter, I've got a problem

And I need to talk over
with a buddy.

Oh? Well, I'll leave
when he gets here.

No, I mean, you. You and me
are buddies, aren't we?

By golly, we are. [CHUCKLES]

-What's your problem, Edward?
-[SIGHS] Well...

for some time now, you know,
I've been seeing Kate.

Oh, she's a wonderful woman.
You are very lucky to have her.

I know. You're ready
to propose to her.

But first you need
a prenuptial agreement.

I have a standard contract.

No, no. Hold it, hold it,
hold it, Dex.

My problem does concern Kate,

but it's not of a...
nuptial nature.

[CLICKS TONGUE] See,
a long time ago. [SIGHS]

I was in love with a lady...
Veronica.

And... [EXHALES]... I saw her
again recently,

and I... find that I'm still
attracted to her.

Uh-huh.

Is this Veronica still attracted
to you?

Yeah.

In fact, Kate caught us
in the act of being...

attracted. [CHUCKLES]

Ooh.

That is a problem.

-EDWARD: Yeah.
-Now, let me recap.

You're involved
with Kate Summers.

And you're also involved
with Veronica...

Cranbottom.

Cranbottom.

Edward,

it's possible she is only
pretending to be interested

in you because she desperately
wants to change her last name.

Dexter...

do you think it's possible
for a guy to be in love

with two women at the same time?

Yes, it's possible.
It's also exhausting. [LAUGHING]

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

What a mess.

I love Kate...

but I used to be in love
with Veronica, too.

[INHALES, EXHALES]
Kate makes me happy.

Veronica might
make me happy, too.

Well, it's obvious you've
made your decision.

For what it's worth. I believe
it's the right one.

What are you talking about?
I'm as confused as ever.

-No, you're not.
-I'm not?

Edward, have you been
listening to yourself?

You love Kate.

You used to love Veronica.

Kate makes you happy.

Veronica might make you happy.

You're positive about Kate.
You're wondering

about Veronica.

I've chosen Kate?

I've chosen Kate.

I've chosen Kate!

Thanks, Dex.

[LAUGHING]

Well, you've been a big help.

-Well, Edward, you see...
-[SIGHS]

...people tend to think because
I'm a business manager

all I deal with is numbers
and statistics.

But the truth is, I am sensitive

to people's emotions
23.4 percent of the time.

Aw, this is great, Dex.

I feel so much better.

I'm gonna end things
with Veronica tonight.

And I'm gonna tell Kate
that I want her and only her.

There's only one small footnote.

After all that's happened,
let's hope Kate still wants you.

Bye.

[SIGHS] This is truly bizarre,
Dad.

What do you mean?

Well, see, I'm gonna tell Leslie
that things are over between us,

and you're gonna say the same
thing to her mother.

I'm dumping Leslie,
you're dumping her mother.

It's a double dump.

Yeah, boy. This is one
for Ripley's, huh?

[DOORBELL DINGS]

-Good luck.
-You, too.

Hi, Ricky.

Hi, Edward.

Ah, shall we go
in the living room?

Um...

-Leslie, let's go have a talk.
-Well, actually-- Okay.

[EDWARD SIGHS]

-[CHUCKLES] Kids, huh?
-[CHUCKLES]

Leslie, I have some bad news.

What is it?

I don't think we should
see each other anymore.

[GASPS]

Are you trying to dump me?

No. I'm not dumping you.

I'm just... well...

you're right. I'm trying
to dump you.

Leslie, I just don't feel
the same way about you

as you do about me.

You will eventually.

Okay, maybe eventually.
But in the meantime,

like over the next 40
or 50 years...

I think you should go out
and see other guys.

But I only want you.

After all...

you're God's gift to women.

Lizzy, please don't say
things like that.

-It's embarrassing.
-You're so modest.

When I look at you
my heart goes...

thumpity-thump.

Leslie, try to understand.

We're young.
We still wear Underoos.

It's just better if we don't...
tie ourselves down.

Okay, Ricky. Go ahead.
Have your fling.

Thank you, Leslie.

-I just have one question.
-What's that?

Should we go to Hawaii
or The Alps on our honeymoon?

Veronica, you were and always
will be my first love.

We can't recapture the past.

Well...

at least we'll always have
Camp Al Bernstein.

Well, I forgot to tell you.
They tore down Camp Al Bernstein

And put up a shopping mall.

It's now
the Al Bernstein Galleria.

Did you and Ricky
have a nice talk?

Not really. He tried to dump me!

[VERONICA GASPS]

But I told him
that I'm undumpable.

Come on, honey. Let's go home.

Yup. It's been a tough night
for the Cranbottoms.

[DOORBELL DINGS]

-Kate!
-Edward. Ricky.

Leslie. Malaria.

Goodbye, Edward.

Goodbye, Veronica.

-Goodbye, Leslie.
-Not goodbye...

Auf Wiedersehen.

Kate, I'm glad you're here.

I'm really, really, really,
really glad.

I'll only be a few minutes.

Just long enough
to clean out my desk

and say goodbye.

-Goodbye?
-That's right.

Since our personal
relationship is ending,

it will, of course,
be impossible

for us to continue
working together.

Ending? Ending?

Honey, I'm glad
you mentioned ending.

Because, I just ended things
with Veronica.

I sorted it all out, Kate.
I'm not confused anymore.

I want you.

-Really?
-Really.

Oh, I'm glad to hear that,
Edward.

Oh, Kate, and I apologize
from the bottom of my heart

if I've ever hurt you.

I-- I accept your apology.

You do? Then you won't leave

and you and me
are together again!

No.

No?

Our relationship
is permanently damaged.

How could I ever completely
trust you again?

How do I know
that a month from now

you won't get involved
with the girl you took

to your high school prom?

Kate, I guarantee
that won't happen.

-How can you guarantee it?
-Because she's dead.

It was a bus accident.
It was a terrible tragedy.

Oh, Kate. Look. I know
I've damaged our relationship.

but won't you let me make
it up to you.

Can't you give me
a second chance.

I'm sorry, Edward. I'm fresh out
of second chances.

But-- but-- but-- but...

well, don't be hasty here,

you know, what are you
gonna do for a living?

I'm going back to Columbus.
I'll find a job there.

But-- but-- but-- but--

what if there aren't any jobs
there, huh?

Well, I can work for my uncle
in his bowling alley.

He's always looking
for good lane waxers.

Ricky, will you stop that!

Okay.

Edward, I thought
you were in love with me.

I was. I am.

Well, I think, part of being
in love is resisting

the temptation to fool around
with someone else.

Well, I think part of being
in love is to forgive a person,

when he or she messes up.

There's no point
in rehashing all this.

Let's just say goodbye.
All right.

It's over. Just like that?

Just like that!

What? It's finished?

We're history.

-Okay. Fine.
-Okay. Fine.

-Hey, goodbye.
-Goodbye.

Please wait!

I know there's no hope

that you guys can patch
things up.

But I just can't believe
that either of you

wants to end like this.

The least you guys could do

is give each other
a nice goodbye kiss.

Come on.

One last sayonara, arrivederci,

"adios, amigos", kiss.

Go ahead.

Remember,
this is your final pucker.

What do you know?

It worked.

Forgive me?

Yes.

But it-- it will be a while
before I can forget.

I mean, things will be
different now.

I understand.

[TELEPHONE QUACKS]

Hello.

Oh. Hi, Leslie.

What?

No, I haven't decided
who my best man is gonna be.
