Boy, being in
high school is rough.

Why weren’t
we invited
to that party?

Ellen Fromer
only invites people

on the A list,
sometimes the B list.

What list are we on?

Julia,
we’re unlisted.

I know how
Susie Bellamy

got in the in-crowd.

Yeah. So do I.

What good did it do?

Now she’s visiting
an aunt in Europe.

Girls, I couldn’t help
but overhear

that you’re having
some popularity problems.

Yeah. We’re dirt.

You may not
believe this,

but I went
through a similar
stage myself.

No!
No!

Yes. I was
dying to be in
the in-crowd,

so I made
a conscious decision
to be more perky,

get my personality
out there,

and before
I knew it,

I was in
the science club

and the debating
society.

Boy, those are
really perky clubs.

Well, laugh if you will,

but if Susie Bellamy had spent
more time debating,

she wouldn’t
be in Europe
with her aunt.

[LAUGHS]

Anybody wants me
tomorrow,

I’ll be at the mall


Wonderful!
You got the job.

A piece of cake.

I thought you
already had a job.

You could call
what I do a job.

I cook, clean, wash,
iron, dust, mop...glow.

By 10:30
there’s nothing left.

Sounds good to me.

It’s a little boring.

They call it
"the housewife blues."

How many Tupperware
parties can I throw?

So, what’s the job?

Oh, well, let me tell you.
This guy was looking

for somebody
who could make
a difference,

with creativity
and organization,

somebody to serve
the community.

So, what’s the job?

A fast-food joint.

It’s not just
a fast-food joint.

It’s a theme restaurant.

That’s right.

This place
is groovy,

it’s out
of sight, mod.

On the fourth floor of the mall?

Could be.

Where spectacular kids
hang out?

Yeah.

[ALL SCREAM]

You are working
at the Yellow
Submarine?

♪ We all live
In a yellow submarine ♪

♪ A yellow submarine... ♪

I sure got some
gold mine here.

Oh, yeah, yeah.
And what a kitchen.

Double oven,
eight burners.

You don’t know what
industrial appliances
do to me.

I see you appreciate
the finer things.

I like that,
manager.
Welcome aboard.

Glad to be aboard, sir.

At ease.

Micelli, know what
the key to success

to this place is?

Good food?

[LAUGHS]
No way.

It’s the kids.

They love to hang out.
They love to eat.

Love spending
their parents’ money.

Good thinking.

I have a meeting.

You’ll have to hire
the new waitress.

You can
handle that, huh?

I’ve been studying
waitresses a while.

All right!

Have a good trip, boss.

You bet.

Okay, kids, come on in.

Pass those applications
up front, please.

Thank you.
Thank you very much.

Let’s see here.
Williams, Cathy.

Hi.

Hi, Cathy.
Sims, Ralph.

h*.

Yo, Ralph.
What’s happening?

Micelli, Samantha.
That’s funny. I got a daughter--

Hi, Dad.

Dad?

Unfair advantage.

All right.
All right.

Samantha, could we have
a word, please?

What are you
doing here?

Applying for a job.

I have a right.
It’s a free mall.

I know, buy why
do you need a job?

It’s time I became
my own person,

independent,
responsible,

knowing the joy
of weekly paychecks.

Okay, now what’s
the real reason?

Dad, this place

is the key
to my social life.

That’s what I thought.

Is she applying
for the job or not?

Please, please?

Yes, she’s applying.
We do not discriminate

on the basis of race,
creed, or daughter.

Okay, let me brief you

about what it’ll be
like to work here

at the Yellow Submarine.

I am not a tough boss.

It’ll be
a relaxed atmosphere.

Now line up.

As you know,
the Yellow Sub

is a theme restaurant.

It’s based
on that famous song
by the Beatles.

Who are they?

You’re Sims, right?

Yeah, right.
Yeah, good.

Okay. Some rules
and regulations
you should know.

When you’re here,
you have
a job to do.

No socializing
or making dates
with the customers.

[SIGHS]

Okay.

Let’s see.

I know there’s basketball
games on Friday nights,

but Friday night’s
a big night for us,

and your first
commitment is here.

This guy’s
out of control.

Now I insist on clean
hands, clean hair,

and no gum chewing.

Huh.

Hi, Dad.

Well...well, young lady,

after looking
through the applications,

you seem to be
the most qualified

and the most here.

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]

Hi.
Hi.

A ham sandwich
on pumpernickel

with lettuce,
tomato,
and mayonnaise.

I’ll have french fries
and chocolate milk.

Okay. Coming right up.

Slice the pig,
pump and oil it,

and drag it
through the garden.

A side of spuds
and chocolate moo juice.

Here we go.

A splash of dairy-do.

Samantha, you’ve learned
so much in just one week.

Well, I learned
from the master.

Oh, that’s right.
Well, there it is.

A fab four, banana-mania
psychedelic surprise.

And a mere 1200 calories.

Now who is going
to scarf it down?

Yoo-hoo!

I should have known.

Oh, I just love this place.

It takes me back
to the turbulent ’60s.

The protest movements,
the sit-ins--

I remember burning
my first bra.

It lit up the sky.

Mother.

Oh, that’s okay, Mom.
I’ve heard
that one before.

Hello.
Here’s one for you.

And here you go.

Oh.

You want
a shovel
for that, dear?

My, I didn’t think
it would be this big.

[LAUGHS]

I’ll share it with you.

Get your own.

So, ladies,
is our ace waitress

taking good
care of you?

The service
is wonderful.

So efficient,
so professional.

So needed
at table four.

Got to go.

Hey, peace, love,
and rock ’n’ roll.

Oh, miss.

Could we have
a little service?

Hi, guys.
Isn’t this place great?

I just saw the captain
of the football team.

And the president
of the student body.

Isn’t that
Ellen Fromer?

You mean El?

Oh, hi, El!

Just think, if a b*mb
hit this place,

the world as we know it
would end.

[BELL RINGS]

Popularity calls.

When I hired you here,

we agreed
to some basic rules.

You cannot hang around
with buddies.

But, Dad--
No "but, Dads."

I am the manager,

you are the waitress.

Strictly business.
Give me a kiss and go.

Mwah.

Oh, waitress,

would you take
our money, please?

Oh, all I have is a 10.

But what the heck.
Keep the change.

Angela, the bill
is $12.95.

Oh.

Oh, dear.
Here’s another 10.

Keep the change
from this.

Cool. I’m going to be
popular and rich.

All right. Well, ladies,
thank you for your patronage.

Hey, bring these babes
back anytime.

And we’ll see you
later tonight, Tony.

Mother and I
have a surprise.

Ooh. Okay.
I’ll see you later.

It’s been
a long time

since you
surprised me, Leon.

If your mother
looked like that,

you’d get surprised
all the time.

Gramps,
pass the ketchup.

Hey, don’t you
gramps me, young fella.

[BOYS LAUGH]

Cool it, Leon.

Yeah, Leon.
Cool it.

Never mind.
I’ll get it.

Keep your hands
off the table.

Ask right.
Say please.

Oh, Leon, please,
please, please.

ALL:
Please, Leon? Please!

I’d better
break this up.

Dad, do you know
who that is?

Yeah, Leon.

No. No, Dad, please don’t.

Hey, whoa,
whoa, whoa.

Up. Let’s go.
Get back
to your tables.

Who’s going
to make me?

I am.

Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo.

He’s going to hurt me.

Teenage abuse, people.
Teenage abuse!

Don’t go to your table.
Hit the road.

You throwing me out?

What a quick mind.

Take it
on the arches.

This place
is history.

Guys?

Come on, guys.

Can’t we talk
about this?

See you.

What have you done?

You cleared
this place out.

How could I know
they travel in packs?

Boy, there goes
my social life.

We might as well eat
chocolate and break out.

Who will notice?

Here, have a fry.

Guess we got to get
back to work, huh?

What work?
This place is dead.

Look.
Here comes someone now.

Oh, it’s Mr. Taylor.

Talk loud. Look like
a lot of people.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Hello, Mr. Taylor.

Where are
all my customers?

The kids are gone.

Oh, no.
There are two
right over there.

Yeah, but those aren’t
the cool ones.

Where’s your father?
What’s going on?

I’ll tell you!

That manager of yours
did a wonderful thing.

He kicked those kids out,

and look how much nicer
this place is.

[LAUGHS]
Oh.

He kicked the kids out.

You betcha!

Yeah.

Can I see you
for a moment, Sam?

Look,
all I did was--

Oh, so you’re part of this?

No, no.

Well, he’s your father
Weren’t you behind him?

No! In fact,
I told him not...

I mean, I suggested that
maybe he shouldn’t...

All right.
Where’s your father?

He’s out getting
supplies.

Okay. I got to catch
a plane to D.C.

Tell you what.

Samantha, you’re a bright,
capable young lady.

I have a favor to ask.

Anything, Mr. Taylor.

All right. Samantha,
fire your father.

What?

Can your dad.

How can I do that?

It’s easy!

I fired mine.

No. I can’t do that.

Sure. Business
is business.

Get rid of him,

the cool kids
will come back.

They will?

Trust me.
This isn’t personal.

Either fire your father
or lose your job.

Alrighty? Okay.

Oh, Tony’s going to be
so excited when he sees

this gourmet meat loaf.

Oh, let’s see
if we have everything.

The ground beef,
the bread crumbs,

the chopped onion,
the egg.

Okay, we go everything.

So...what do we do now?

Order pizza.

Jonathan, show
some support.

I went to your stupid
gymnastics meet.

We have to put all
the ingredients

into the ground beef.

Oh, okay.

Well, not as hard
as it looks, huh?

How do you get this open?

No wonder I never
learned how to cook.

Luckily, I’ve been
watching Tony.

[GASPS]
I did it!

I did it! It worked!

[LAUGHS]

[SIGHS]

All right.

I did my part.

Now, Mother,
you do the kneading.

With my bare hands?

Mother...knead.

Ooh, this is nice.

Hey, looks like the stuff
that came out of my lizard

when the rock
fell on him.

Hi, Samantha.

I’d like an order to go.

Anything but meat loaf.

Okay, Angela. We’ll bring
home something great.

[SIGHS]
The restaurant?

It’s not too busy.

How’s Dad doing?

Well, he’s kind of--

Right here!

Dad, it’s Angela.

Hi, Angela.
How you doing?

Good. Good. And you
got it in the bowl?

Whoo! Yeah.

Well, this manager thing
is a mere bag of shells.

Hey, I do have a great
support team.

Yeah, all right, we’ll be home
in about an hour. Okay, bye.

Okay, let’s get ready
for tomorrow.

Because the key
to this operation

is being prepared.

There are some things
you can’t be prepared for.

Like what?

Oh, I don’t know.

Tidal waves, locusts,
getting fired.

Getting fired?

Oh, honey,
don’t be so insecure.

You’re doing fine.

So far.

What are you talking about,
so far?

Hey, let me
tell you something.

As long as
I have a job here,

you have a job here.

You know what, Dad? When I was
just talking to Angela

I detected something
in her voice.

And it said, "I sure wish
Tony was here.

"The house is empty without
his smiling face

and bell-like laughter."

Bell-like laughter?

You know how she talks.

Come on, Sam, she’s
getting along fine.

Hey,
she cracked an egg.

[LAUGHS]

Hey, the fact
that you’re here

worrying
about Angela

makes me so proud.

Samantha, you have
a big heart.

Dad, you’re fired.

Good morning, Tony.

Good morning, Angela.

Oh! Fresh-strangled
orange juice.

My favorite.

Well, now that I have one job,
I try to do it well.

Look, Tony,

I of all people understand
the pain of rejection.

You can’t keep these
things bottled up.

I have nothing bottled up.

I’m fine.

You can’t be fine.
You were fired...

after only one week
as a manager.

It’s humiliating.

You’re dealing with
the shock and the trauma

and the self-doubt.

There is nothing worse.

Except this.

Okay, I can see

that this is too
embarrassing for you.

I am not embarrassed
about being fired, Angela.

Hey, I remember when you
got the old heave-h*.

But it wasn’t Jonathan
giving you the old heave-h*’ing.

I mean, it was so easy
for her to do it.

I mean, she showed no sense
of family loyalty.

How did she become
such a cold-blooded,

heartless career woman?

Well, she was responsible
and maybe a little ambitious.

Ah-ha!

So that’s where
she gets it from!

Come on, look...

Good morning, Angela.

Hi, Dad.

Good morning, Samantha.

Well,
what will it be

for our little
working girl?

Hey, let’s see--

Some pancakes,
some cereal,

some eggs
Benedict Arnold?

No, Dad, I’m fine.
I’ll get something at work.

No, no, no, Sam.
You have to have breakfast.

Dad, it’s okay.
I’ll manage.

Manage.

Yes, it’s nice when
people can manage.

Oh, look at the time.

I better get going.

Yes, don’t be late.

We wouldn’t want
you to get fired.

Bye.

You give them food,
shelter, love,

and they turn on you.

Dad’s really bent
out of shape.

Well, Samantha,
your father’s hurt.

It wasn’t my fault!

I didn’t fire him.
I delivered the message.

So you really
had no choice.

Well...

I could have refused
to do it.

But what good
would that have done?

Then we’d both
be unemployed,

and I wouldn’t be going
to Ellen Fromer’s party.

Ellen Fromer?

Oh, El. She’s this
really cool senior,

head cheerleader
and everything.

Fully together.

I see.

Look, Angela,

it was Dad who
laid down the rules.

Business is business.
Nothing personal.

Sounds like you have
it all worked out.

Yes, I do.

Then there’s really
no problem.

None!

Well, shouldn’t you
be off to work?

Glad you see it
my way, Angela.

Bye.

Bye.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Shakes up, Micelli!

[BELL DINGS]

Picking up!

Here you go.

Hi, Sam. Coming
to El’s party?

Yeah, I wouldn’t miss it.

She’s definitely
got a cool potential.

That’s me.

It feels good
to be here again.

No offense,
but your dad’s
a major mood-buster.

He just had a bad day.

He’s okay...now that
we got him fired.

You didn’t get him fired.
I got him fired.

I kind of miss him.

That funny way he talks.

"Hey, oh, hey, oh, hey."

[BOTH LAUGH]

"Ay-oh." If you’re going
to quote him, get it right.

It’s "ay-oh, oh-ay."

Excuse me.

He sounds like
that dwarf.

Was it Sleepy
or Dopey?

I’d say he was
definitely Dopey.

Here you go!

No you’re really cool.

Micelli, those are customers.
What are you doing?

Something I should have
done yesterday. I quit.

What?

It was an accident.

Let’s get out of here, man.

This place is bunk!

I’ll pay the cleaning bill.

It was an accident,
that’s all, fellas.

Nobody moves.

Free fries all around!

Oh, now
the other one’s back!

Samantha.

Dad, what are you
doing here?

Look, I thought
about this morning.

I acted real jerky,

and I wanted to talk
to you about it.

It was hard for you
to do what you did,

and you were right
to fire me.

I don’t blame you.

I’m proud of you,

because when a
Micelli gets a job,

we stick with it!

Dad, I just quit.

That’s my girl!

I hope that’s
not for me.

Hey, where are you going
in such a hurry?

To Cindy Brisker’s party.

What happened to Ellen’s?

Keep up with the news!

Ellen Fromer is out.
Cindy Brisker is in.

When will you learn?

Where are you going?

To the Yellow Submarine.

That’s where the debating
club hangs out now.

I am so proud of him.

Oh, yeah, he’s getting
perkier every day.

Well, looks like
everything worked out,

except for poor Tony.

He’s going to have all
this time on his hands.

Oh, don’t worry.
Tony’s very resourceful.

He was checking the
want ads this morning.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

You did?

Excuse me.

Avon calling.

And have I got
a blush-on for you.
