sometimes in a person's life every

little thing seems to go wrong and each

time it happens little more confidence

is lost until it looks like nothing will

ever go right again but if one can find

support in others a renewed belief in

oneself is sure to follow and that's

what our stories about on this episode

of stella beaver

[Music]

hey why sure I'll get BAM remember me

anyhow goal well any people tend to

remember when you don't drive and pay

for the prom

peasant is the grass all the guys

together again at school may be so rich

but I still get nervous every time I

walk in here if you're suffering from

what we psychologists call academic

shell-shocked he is that a real disease

or is it just something you made up to

peddle your book on television sometimes

we've had a tough in school go through

life always it's great that someone's

gonna yell it I haven't reach lumpy for

it for years so much for the privacy of

the doctor-patient relationship the

sneaking of science lab and will get us

some tadpoles boom in the punch bowl mr.

Brown garden tater suture world

it's nice to see a teacher don't

believes in setting standards for our

you.why Thank You Eddie

it's too bad you didn't come into

contact with more of us when you were

growing up remind me to find out where

that guy parks his car yeah use that

Jill Bartlet

place brings back memories sure does

I brought cakes on your birthday I

brought costumes on Halloween and I

brought your father when you were in

trouble the only thing I remember is the

eighth grade when I met Mary Ellen oh

well I think I'm gonna go and find

myself a good seat while you two many of

your courtship funny how things changing

the same science class for a whole

semester well I never paid attention to

you I never really noticed you until you

came back from that spring vacation in

Fort Lauderdale I'll tan wearing that

little white dress with a little heel on

your shoulder didn't have any

moisturizer then I remember I saw you

standing here right used to your locker

you won't make it I just stared stare I

remember thinking that is the most

beautiful girl I've ever seen in my

entire life you know I bet I even

remember the combination to your office

well there some things a man never

forget

[Music]

yeah I guess once enough always enough

is there ever any doubt

[Music]

you just open to the pastures

you have been before too haven't you

it was Courtney's self-portrait beep

isn't it beautiful

girl is so expressive there's Oliver's

cute isn't it oh yeah

yeah that's that's very nice it's a it's

it's different

wait a minute Richard you see something

don't you

no there's nothing much there to see I

mean very nice really Richard we've been

friends for a long time and there's

something I should know you really ought

to tell me well I don't to make any snap

judgments but the way kids draw things

can usually tell you a lot about them

well-adjusted kids that a lot more

detail like a nose yeah I mean look how

clear and focused Courtney's is I know I

could be wrong but all that might be

having some problems with the self-image

B well of course Oliver has a couple

problems what kid doesn't my but there's

reasons for that

the Holly's a great kid and I don't mean

to alarm you but if you decide there is

a problem let me know so long guy hello

hello mr. Bloomberg yeah nice to see you

again

have you finished your term paper yet

well I've been busy

19:58 are you uh still conducting the

glee club oh yes except this year we

didn't have enough Sopranos to do

Handel's Messiah so instead we decided

to do a Snoopy Christmas oh well you

know they're both very inspirational

interesting picture isn't it

in all honesty it's not quite what I'd

hoped for you see I don't think Oliver's

got a lot of confidence in himself right

now well anybody can draw a bad picture

even Picasso had a few clankers right

look honestly I don't see Oliver

applying himself lately in the way in

which he's capable I'm concerned that

he's gonna fall behind the other kids to

see himself as a loser well I sure

wouldn't want that to happen

neither would I he's such a good boy so

I think if you'll just give him some

small realistic goals

he'll accomplish them and feel better

about himself

thanks mr. bloom garden that's good

advice as usual one other thing I was

just curious

Courtney rickover is uh is she pretty

well-adjusted mm-hmm

[Music]

Oliver I'd like to talk to you about

parent-teacher night okay

well there were parents there and there

were teachers there to call it

parent-teacher night really short now

don't you want to know what mr. bloom

garden had to say probably not you tell

me anyway very very short mr. bloom

garden thinks you're a great kid

dad ft loved all the way down there he's

not gonna tell you what a nerd is don't

say that you've got a lot going for you

and I think it's a bad time that you

realized it okay good night dad oh wait

a minute no I know that guys your age

well they don't really like to tell

what's going on the side of them but if

you holding something back from me

uh-huh are we done now no oh I'm your

father I want to help you thanks but

there's not much you can do about me

being picked last for teams oh sure I

can

this weekend we throw the ball around

it's not just that I can't do nothing

right when it was my turn to take care

of the classical of this he drowned

Oliver I think you're putting too much

pressure on yourself you may find this

hard to believe but when I was your age

I felt the same way you do well my boys

would tell me what you did and I can do

it

well I guess I kind of outgrew it that's

okay we're just sitting around waiting

for me Alko my problems but don't forget

to set your alarm early so you'll have

plenty of time to bind up those

newspapers in the garage look for what

did you remember just go deeper Drive

starts tomorrow don't just stay them

thank you for buying a bird surprise

report recycling saves trees it's good

for the ecology and they announced its

go tonight that the class that brings in

the most papers gets her own computer

what's the point we're not gonna learn

anyway well not with that attitude

you're not Oliver don't give up before

you even try this is a kind of computer

you can play games on without sticking

quarters it sure is I guess it wouldn't

hurt to bring the papers in tomorrow

just a little bit overboard on this

paper drive but isn't it nice that he's

finally throwing himself into something

for a change yeah I guess so Hey look I

don't mind that he takes my newspaper

me especially that lizard Melissa

Oliver you know there are other

challenges in life besides the paper
