Uh-huh. Find out what happened
to our shipping. Uh-huh.
Macy's toy department
was expecting Kissy Missy.
They got Bazooka Bill.
I'll be in the office
in minutes. Bye.
Oh, hi, guys.
Breakfast is on the table.
Rick, your lunch
is on the counter.
Edward, the contracts
for Dexter are in this folder.
I put a tuna casserole
in the fridge.
You can have it
for dinner.
Kate, what time
did you get up?
Get up? Dad, I don't think
she went to bed.
Okay. So I got up
a little early.
I had to make a couple calls
to London,
and I thought
as long as I was up...
You'd wax the floors
and mow the lawn.
Honey, sit down.
Hon, I sit,
I may never get up.
I appreciate the fact
you've been able
to be president of Eddy Toys
and still run the house.
And you're doing a great job,
but don't you think it's time
we hire a housekeeper?
Edward, we've had
housekeepers before.
They never ever stay.
That's because they have
nothing to do.
You clean everything
by the time they get up.
Edward, we don't have to hire
a housekeeper
because we don't need
a housekeeper.
In other words,
no housekeeper.
I get the feeling
she doesn't want a housekeeper.
Boy, Dad, you amaze me.
Rick, let me tell you something
about women.
Is this gonna take long?
I have to leave for school.
Want to go to school
or learn something?
I want to go
to school.
Okay, learn the hard way.
Don't forget your lunch.
Yeah.
Boy, Dad,
isn't Kate the best?
The best.
The best breakfast-maker.
The best
sandwich-maker.
The best stand-up sleeper.
[♪♪♪]
So your last employer
had children?
Ja, und those
little kiddies,
all day long
with their laughing
and their giggling.
Well...
I put a stop to that. Ja.
Mrs. Werneck, as soon as we
make up our minds--
Perhaps
before I decide
whether to accept
your position,
I should tell you
a few things.
First,
I don't do shopping,
and second,
I don't vacuum
the schtaircase.
You don't do schtairs?
I mean...stairs.
No schtairs and no schteps,
and finally,
is it just you
and Mr. Stratton?
Well, there's Rick.
He's my stepson.
Schtepson?
I told you no schteps.
Ha! That was a joke!
Life is not all scrubbing
and cleaning, ja.
Ja. Ha-ha-ha.
Edward, you're just in time
to meet Mrs. Werneck.
Hi. Edward Stratton.
Marlena Werneck.
Marlena...
What a lovely name.
Well, thank you
for coming.
Goodbye,
and remember...
No schteps.
Good.
Schmart cookie!
Whoa!
That was close.
For a minute, I thought
you'd hire her.
I am.
What?
What's wrong with her?
She's organized.
She's disciplined.
So are marines, but you don't
want them handling your crystal.
She's a little
hard to understand.
Oh, so she has a little accent.
Kate, we can't have
Frau Werneck.
She'll scare Rick.
She won't scare Rick.
She scares me.
[DOORBELL CHIMES]
She's back!
Oh, hi, Dex.
Hi. What was that?
The woman Kate wants to hire
as our maid.
That was a woman?
Hi Kate.
Did we hire someone?
Not yet.
Well, when we do,
please make sure she knows
my room is off-limits.
And try to find someone who
won't frighten the house plants.
I have a better idea.
Why don't you try
and find someone?
Dexter and I
have an important meeting.
Wait a minute,
honey.
It was your idea to hire
a housekeeper.
That's the list of applicants
the agency's sending over.
Mwah.
Bye.
Dex.
Yes?
Want to stay
and help me with this?
At my usual consulting fee
of $ an hour?
Rick, you want
to make $ . ?
[SIGHS]
I'm sorry, Dad.
I've got no time.
I've gotta go work with Brad
and Larry on my history project.
Good luck.
We'll give you a lift.
Thanks.
Hon, I'm sure I'll love
whomever you pick.
Oh, you'll want to see
the man of the house.
Uh...
Mrs. Greene?
Hello!
Heh.
Oh, what a beautiful,
big house you have.
How many rooms
are there?
Twenty-one.
Goodbye.
[♪♪♪]
[KNOCKING]
Yeah?
I am the new housekeeper.
May I clean your room?
I just cleaned it.
Mr. Stratton told me
to clean all the rooms.
Oh, jeez.
This won't take long.
What won't?
Your room.
This will
only take...
Weeks and weeks!
What happened here,
an earthshake?
Earthshake?
No, you mean earthquake.
No, no. Here. Look--
Let me help you.
No, if you help,
they won't need me here.
Good point,
and we definitely
don't want that to happen.
[CHUCKLES]
What's your name?
Rick.
Like in the movie
Casablanca.
Did you ever see it?
Are you kidding?
That's my favorite movie.
And what's your name?
Ingrid.
Also from Casablanca.
That's right.
Ingrid Bergman.
Boy, that's
a neat name.
So Norwegian.
[SCOFFS]
Swedish.
Better yet. Heh-heh.
Well, I better
get started.
Oh, thank you, Dad!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
She had the best
qualifications
of anybody
I interviewed.
I can hardly wait
to meet her.
Oh, my. This certainly
looks shiny.
Shiny? I could shave
in this little honey.
Hi, Dad.
Hi, Kate.
Hey, son.
Hi, Rick.
Your father says he's hired
a terrific new housekeeper.
Yeah, well,
she's okay.
Well, where is she?
She's upstairs
cleaning my room.
You're letting her
clean your room?
She must be terrific.
See? She's working out.
[SCOFFS]
Edward, I've got
to hand it to you,
it looks like you've made
a wonderful decision.
Ingrid seems to be
hard-working, thorough,
and entirely perfect.
It's too bad
she can't work here.
Let me introduce you
to Ingrid.
Ingrid, this is
Mrs. Stratton.
Nice to meet you,
ma'am.
Ma'am?
Uh...Edward, Rick,
could we have a family talk
in the kitchen?
Sure.
Excuse me.
Yo!
Okay, so she can polish a table
but that doesn't make up
for all the other things.
What other things?
Uh... It's a little hard
to understand her.
So she has a little accent.
She has an accent?
She even doesn't look
like a housekeeper.
Honey, I can't believe
you're saying this.
That's the most
incredibly sexist thing
I ever heard you say.
You want me to fire her
because of her looks?
What looks?
You know
what I mean.
Yeah, I think I do.
You remember what happened
when I hired you?
Yes. We started dating.
Then we got married.
I mean before that.
Everybody said I hired you
'cause you're beautiful.
Well...
I told them
they were crazy.
I said, not only
is she beautiful,
but she has brains
to match.
Really?
I hired you
for your qualifications.
That's the same reason
I hired...
What's-her-name.
Ingrid Bridgette Yohanson.
Honey, the only thing
I had in mind
was getting us
the best help possible.
Ingrid really is qualified.
You gotta look at my room.
You can even
see the floor now.
Can't get a better
recommendation than that.
Think of all the extra time
you're gonna have...
And extra sleep.
Okay, if you both
feel so strongly...
All right!
Excuse me.
I have to dust
the chandelier.
Could someone come out
and hold the ladder for me?
Move,
and you die.
Coming, Ingrid.
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
[DOORBELL CHIMES]
Rick, it's you!
Look, Larry.
He's alive! He's alive!
What are you guys
talking about?
You never come
to the hangout anymore.
You never even
play basketball.
I'd love to play,
but I've had things to do here.
Yeah. That's what
we thought.
So we decided to come
over here...
To use your hoop.
No, fellas, wait!
I don't believe it.
What?
What are you looking at?
Ooh!
Am I dreaming?
Wow... All we have in
our backyard is a birdbath.
You weren't kidding when you
said you had things to do.
Come on, guys, she's only
our new housekeeper.
You mean
she lives here?
Will you relax?
She's just a girl,
nothing to get
excited about.
She's turning over!
She's turning over!
Okay.
All right, guys, look,
enough is enough.
Please, let's give
Ingrid some privacy.
Ingrid.
Hot name.
No wonder you haven't been
playing basketball after school.
Yeah. I'm surprised you
even showed up for school.
She's coming this way!
Be cool! Be cool!
[CLEARS THROAT]
[WHISTLING]
Oh, hello,
Ingrid.
I didn't know
you were sunbathing.
Ja, it was
getting hot out there.
Yeah, in here too.
Rick, are these
your friends?
Yeah, we're very close.
We share everything.
Well, Ingrid,
these are my much younger,
more immature
friends...
Who were just leaving,
right, guys?
Ingrid.
That's a Swedish name?
Abba is one of
my favorite groups.
I eat nothing but
Swedish meatballs.
You know you guys
got to run.
Bjorn Borg!
[SIGHS]
Kids.
Well...
I'd better go change.
I'll get some more sun
tomorrow.
What time?
What?
I said that's fine.
Fine.
Moron.
[♪♪♪]
[YAWNS]
Oh, hello, Ingrid.
I didn't know you were up.
Hi, Rick.
You want some cocoa?
Cocoa? Sure. Heh-heh.
I haven't had any of that stuff
since I was a kid.
So...
What are you doing
up so late?
I don't know.
I've been having trouble
sleeping the last few nights.
Something bothering you?
No.
What could bother me?
You see, I was up late reading
this book on my legs class.
Uh, my English class.
English.
Oh.
You see, I have to write
this book report,
but the love story...
seems a little bit unreal.
Unreal?
Yeah.
I mean, do you think a person
could fall in love with another
after just a couple of days?
Ja. It happens
all the time.
Yeah, but even if they have
different backgrounds,
different ages?
Ja.
Ja.
Ja?
Would you like me
to warm up your cocoa?
I think you just did.
Ah, I thought
I heard voices.
What are you two
doing up?
Nothing! We got hungry
at the same time.
That's all. No big deal.
But not together.
No...
Well, I think
I'm ready to...
How do you say it?
Hit the bag.
Sack.
Thank you.
Good night,
Mrs. Stratton.
Good night.
Good night, Rick.
Good night, Ing.
Uh...Rick,
I've noticed
you've grown
quite fond of Ing.
Kate, she's very likeable.
That's true.
She's also
very attractive.
Attractive?
She's beautiful.
[♪♪♪]
Edward,
pay attention.
This is important.
Honey, you told me
about all this last night.
Edward, we're talking
about little Rickie.
Little Rickie
is years old.
He's bound to have
some crushes.
Well, I think this is
a little more than a crush.
Okay, so he has
a thing for Ing.
I think this thing
could get out of hand
and become a real problem.
After all, we are living
under the same roof.
Honey, what do you
want me to do?
Well, talk to her.
All you have to do is tell
Ingrid how Rick feels about her.
Then maybe she'll be careful
not to encourage him.
I have a better idea.
Why don't you talk to her?
Because I promised
to take Rickie shopping.
Besides...
I didn't hire her.
You did.
[SIGHS]
Uh...
Ingrid...
Ja, Mr. Stratton?
What can I do for you?
Mrs. Stratton...
Did she leave yet?
Ja, just now...
With Rick.
Oh.
Anything else?
No.
Nothing.
No, there is something.
Ingrid... Ahem.
I think it's important
to tell you that...
You're doing one
heck of a job.
"Heck of a"?
Yeah...
Good...
Great, fantastic!
[LAUGHS]
Thank you, thank you,
Mr. Stratton.
Yeah, but there's
a little something
going on here
between you and...
And I think
we should discuss it.
Ja?
It has to do with, uh...
feelings.
Personal...
feelings.
Oh.
Let's face it, Ingrid.
Sometimes people
have feelings
that come from being
thrown together
in a situation,
and those feelings
aren't really real.
Oh, but my feelings
are really real.
What?
You feel the same way?
Ja.
Ja.
What about the age
difference?
That is not
important to me.
Only the love that I feel.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my gosh too.
Edward!
[♪♪♪]
Hi, Dad.
Ingrid!
Ingrid!
Edward, did you have
your little talk with Ingrid?
Yes, I had my little talk
with Ingrid.
[SIGHS]
So we don't have to worry
about Rick anymore?
Dad, where's Ingrid?
I wanna show her my new jacket.
Uh, she's upstairs, Rick.
Great.
Rick, before you go up,
can I talk to you?
Can't it wait, Dad?
No, it can't, son.
I have to tell you something.
Ingrid?
Hello, Rick.
What-What's the suitcase for?
What's going on?
Kate, what did you say to her?
Rick, Kate had
nothing to do with this.
It is true, Rick.
I'm leaving because I want to.
Why?
Remember what I said
about age
making no difference?
Well, I was wrong.
It does make a difference.
Kate, why don't we step into the
other room for just a moment.
Good idea.
Ingrid, you can't go.
I have to.
It's better for everyone.
It's not better for me.
Rick, remember
our favorite movie?
Casablanca?
Remember how it ended?
With Ingrid Bergman
saying goodbye?
But I hated that ending.
Well, when a woman has strong
feelings for a man,
and she knows that nothing
could ever come of it,
it's better
that she leaves
and take all her
strong feelings with her.
What about
my strong feelings?
You're so very young.
And you'll have many,
many girlfriends to love you.
And then you'll
forget about me.
[HORN HONKING]
There is my taxi.
[♪♪♪]
Ingrid, I'm never
gonna forget you.
And I will never forget you.
You are one heck of a guy.
Here's looking at you, kid.
