Ooh! Nice form!
Thanks, but
how did I ski?
Whoa!
Not today, huh?
Hey sam, come on, let's go.
I wanna get to vermont
Before it closes.
Now wait,
Are you sure you're gonna be
alright this weekend?
I am looking forward
to spending the weekend
With my little fella.
Mom, could you knock off
the "little fella" stuff?
Sure, sweetie.
You know what we're going to do,
we're going to go
museum-hopping,
We're going to go to the petting
zoo, maybe we'll go to bloomie's
And we'll buy you
an outfit, huh?
We're gonna have
a fabulous time.
$20 If you stay. 30 If you
to take me with you.
No. Sorry, pal. Sorry.
This is my big weekend
with my little girl.
h*! And there she is now,
my precious little snow bunny.
Yeah, that's me,
hippity-hop.
You two are going to have
a blast.
Relating, huh?
Hoo, choo, choo, choo
choo, choo, choo.
Dad, remember that
little conversation we had
About me being 16
and going to a ski lodge
With my father
where other 16-year-olds
Who are not
with their fathers?
Yes, sam. I remember.
And I promise you're gonna
have plenty of time
To do your own thing.
Okay, so we're clear
on the ground rules?
"If you
meet some kids
"That you want
to hang out with,
You're allowed."
Good.
[Tony groans]
Oh! You're
still here.
Good. You can
fix me dinner.
Mother, they were
just about to--[sneezes]
Aah!
Watch where you
point that thing
When it's loaded.
I don't want
to get sick.
Oh mother, I'm not gonna
make you sick. I just sneezed.
Yeah, mona.
She just sneezed.
Let's get
out of here.
Hey! I just remembered.
Almost forgot.
Hold on.
Ooh, ooh.
Wait, wait,
wait, wait.
Wait, wait, wait.
Huh?
Angela: ohh.
Like it?
Angela: ohh!
Oh, look! Look, look.
Michigan plate.
Makes it 10-0.
So the game's over,
right?
Come on, sam.
We're playing to 20.
Oh, boy.
Hey, why don't you
reach in to the cooler,
Get us a couple
sandwiches?
I made peanut butter
and marshmallow fluff,
Otherwise known as
the fluffer-nutter.
No, i--i--i can't.
Too many calories.
Are you sure, sam?
Uh, I don't know.
It's like it's--it's
calling your name.
Sam...
Sam...
Okay, okay.
Maybe just a bite.
Okay.
Mmm.
You know what I brought
along to wash it down with?
What?
A lil chocolate milk
made with bosco!
No, dad, you didn't!
Yes, I did, I did.

Good morning.
[Coughs]
You ready for
our special day?
Mom, you don't
sound so hot.
Oh, nonsense.
Just a little morning phlegm,
sweetheart.
Nothing some orange juice
won't cut right through.
Mom, maybe you should
just go back to bed.
Oh, and ruin
our special day?
I wouldn't think--[coughs]
Oh, but think of all those
people you'll infect,
Not to mention the animals
at the petting zoo.
All those little bunnies
bunching up phlegm.
Oh, maybe
you're right.
I just hate
to disappoint you.
That's okay.
I understand.
That's my boy.
[Blowing noisily]
[Coughing]
Ooh!
No wonder I'm sick.
What did you
do last night--
Lick the roast?
[Upbeat music playing]
Oh...
Well, it's great to be
back on the old slopes, huh?
Ah, let's see here.
Sam, uh, which one
goes on the right?
Which one goes on the left?
The one with the "r" goes
on the right.
The one with "l"
goes on the left
What will they
think of next?
All right, kid, okay.
Put them down. Okay.
You put your left foot in there
and step down.
Okay.
Step down.
Put your right foot in there
and step down.
♪ you do
the hokey pokey ♪
♪ and you turn
yourself about ♪
♪ that's what
it's all about ♪
♪ hey ♪
That's really good,
dad.
Okay, let me show you
a ski move, okay?
Okay, yeah.
Crouch down,
tuck your poles under,
Like this?
Yeah. Very good.
Don't you ever do
the hokey pokey again!
Okay. Tickle, tickle!
Dad, come on, we came to ski.
All right, all right
let's get to it.
Let's get to it here.
Let me see here.
Don't you think
you'd better take a lesson?
Sam, me?
A lesson?
I mean, perhaps
you've forgotten
That I was
a professional athlete.
i am a natural.
Okay.
Whoa!
Are you okay?
Yeah. I was just
testing the snow.
It's ready!
Maybe a little
refresher course
Might not
be so bad, huh?
Yeah, well, uh,
I'll go with you.
No, no, no, you don't
need lessons.
You know your
left from right.
Yeah, but I could use a laugh.
No, no, get out of here,
go ahead.
Have a good time.
All right. I'll get in
a couple of runs.
And then afterward, you should
be through with your lesson,
And we'll spend the whole
afternoon together.
Okay, then we can do couple
of some ski runs,
and a little tobogganing,
And maybe some lunch,
and--
Of course, it's all subject
to your availability.
I think the class
is over there.
Okay, sweetheart. See you later.
Okay. All right.
Let me give you
a hand here.
Thank you, honey.
Whoa!
Hi. I'm zack.
Hi. I'm sam.
Are you going to
the intermediate slope tonight?
I mean, today?
I mean, now?
Yeah.
Good, 'cause if you like,
we could go together.
I don't mean
"go together."
I mean,
ski together.
I mean... Maybe
I shouldn't talk.
I think
you talk cute.
Okay, troops.
Hi! I'm lisa.
All: hi, lisa!
[Lisa laughing]
Oh, sir, you don't have
to worry, you can leave
your little one here.
He'll be very safe
with me.
Well, I am
the little one.
Oh!
Am I safe?
Ohh, we'll see.
Okay, kids,
And you,
too, sir...
Welcome to
the bunny slope!
W-w-wait a minute,
wait a minute. The bunny slope?
I'm gotta go down
a bunny slope?
You've gotta
problem with that?
Okay. The first thing
we're going to learn
Is how to turn
around on our skis
a 180 degrees.
So first, you lift
your right foot up,
You let it fall
naturally to your side,
Bring the second ski
around and join it.
Now, you all try it.
Okay?
Lift--
Whoa!
Aah!
Hey, mister.
Watch it!
Yeah, you big
stupid-head!
Sorry, sorry. It was
an accident.
Stuff it!
Oh, yeah?
Yeah!
Children...
Children...
Maybe we should move on
to the sidestep.
I'm good
at that!
Big deal.
Can you hit
a hanging curve ball?
Better than
you can ski.
Why I ought to--
You and what army?
I hate you.
Nyah, nyah.
Oh, clever.
Okay, kids.
I want you to lean the edge
of your skis into the slope
And take
little steps up.
That's it.
That's it. Very good!
Now, the next thing we'll gonna
learn is how to snowplow.
Uh...uh, miss...
Mm-hmm.
Just fall down.
Miss.
Fall down?
Woman: fall down.
[Crash]
Perfect.
Ah-choo!
Bye!
Hold it, hold it.
Where are you going?
Uh, ty and I are going
to new york city. See you later!
Hold it. You're not going
to new york city by yourselves.
While you're there,
Pick me up
half a dozen bialys, well you?
Sure.
Hold it.
Mother, you are not helping.
Oh, angela,
when you were seven years old,
I used to let you
wonder around new york city.
Then you found the car, and we
had to take you back home.
Mother, jonathan
is 13 years old.
He's just a kid!
I'm not a kid!
I'm a teen!
If we lived in the ozarks,
I'd be married
to my cousin by now.
Now you're definitely
not going to new york.
Oh, great ba*ls
of fire, mom!
You never let me
do anything.
Then, there was a time,
you were eight,
And we left you
in the mountains.
Hey!
Hey!
So feel free
to continue practicing.
Class dismissed.
Don't run into any trees.
Don't worry,
we know how to ski.
We know how to ski.
Can I give you
a hand with that?
No, no, I can do it.
I can do it.
You know, tony,
I think it's really great
That you were willing
to go on the bunny slope.
You do?
Sure. I mean lot of guys
are too macho
To, you know,
show any vulnerability.
They're afraid
to ask for any help.
Help.
I'm stuck.
Ohh. Well, let me
help the little man
Get out of his
big skis.
Oh, gee.
You're so strong.
My hero.
Don't push it.
Ha! I won!
You're not bad!
You want to try
the back side of the mountain?
They've got a great
toboggan run?
Okay. Yeah,
let's go.
No, wait.
I promised my dad
I'd go tobogganing
with him.
Really?
With your dad?
Well, yeah. With my dad,
he's lots of fun to be with.
See, he kind of planned
this whole weekend
So we could spend time together.
Well, if you
change your mind,
I'll be in
warming hut three...
Or maybe two.
No, maybe I'll be--
I--i'll be around.
Okay.
Hey, hey.
Hi, kid!
Hey, dad.
Hey, sam, lisa,
lisa, this is sam,
My favorite daughter.
Sam, this is lisa.
Hi.
Hey! Great news, sam.
You're free for the rest
of the afternoon
Lisa's gonna take me
on this great tobogganing run
On the back mountain.
Wait, dad. I--
No, no, hey,
don't thank me now.
Honey, go ahead
just have a good time.
I love you.
I love you.
Hi.
Want to ski?
Why not?
Go ahead.
So anyway,
there I am right?
I'm going down this mountain,
Hurdling,
hurdling through space, okay?
I'm hanging on to lisa
for dear life, right?
Just then, I see a big tree
right in front of us.
My whole life flashes
right before my eyes.
So did yours,
and angela's, and mona's
Mona's was pretty good.
Dad, I can't believe you like
tobogganing better than skiing?
Lisa says I have a brighter
future as a human projectile.
That lisa's really funny.
Come on, dad,
I'm getting hungry.
Okay, me too, me too.
Hey, what do you say,
we go first class?
chateaubriand for two?
Oh, I like your style.
Hmm, baby, after you.
Okay.
Ah, our table, please,
thank you.
All right.
Oh, hey, look who's here.
Hi, lisa.
Sam, you remember lisa.
Lisa, you remember sam.
Hi.
Dad, I think
our table's ready.
Yeah. Are you
meeting friends?
No, I'm going
solo tonight.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
What? Are you kidding me?
The woman who awarded me
the bunny badge?
No. You have
to join us, come on.
I don't want
to intrude.
No, it's fine, really,
right, sam?
The more the merrier.
Come on. Come on.
Thanks.
You look
very pretty.
Thank you.
Oh, a gentleman.
Of course,
of course.
Oh, yeah, sam.
I'm sorry.
I hate you,
I hate you!
I really really hate you!
Mother, it's not like
I deliberately got you sick.
Maybe you did.
Maybe you did
to get back at me
For all the years
I mistreated you.
Could be.
I--i'm going.
Hey, hey! My blanket.
There!
[Coughing]
Aah!
Uh, mom...
Todd's dad has an extra ticket
to wrestlemania.
Can I at least
go to that?
Yeah. It's all right,
you could go.
Just make sure
you wear your mittens.
They're not mittens.
They're gloves.
[Coughing]
Are you sure
you're gonna be all right?
I'm fine, I'm fine.
You go ahead. Have fun.
Okay. Bye.
[Coughing]
Well, that was quick.
What happened to wrestlemania?
Oh, I changed my mind.
So, can I get you
some tea?
Oh, that would be great, honey
Would you mind turning up
the heat?
Sure.
Thanks.
Mom, the furnace...
What--what is it,
sweetheart?
Nothing. Never mind.
You just rest.
Okay. Thanks, honey.
Thank you,
thank you.
So, lisa, how long
you been skiing?
Oh, since I was about sam's
age-- 14 or 15, I guess.
I'm 16.
I'm so sorry.
Oh, it's quite fine.
Oh, good going, dad.
Oh. Is that typical
or what?
You can't take
him anywhere.
Listen ladies,
if you'll excuse me a second.
I'll be right back.
♪ i know
what you did ♪
♪ i know
what you did ♪
It's coffee.
Yeah, right.
Grrr!
Now I know what happened
to rosemary's baby.
You know, your dad
is such a great guy.
Yeah, he is.
He's a little clumsy maybe.
Well, angela always says
that's part of his charm.
Who's angela?
She's the lady
we live with.
The lady you live with?
Well, yeah. Just for
the past five years.
Oh?
Yeah. She's just like
a mother to me.
Well, then why isn't she here
with you?
They like to take
separate vacations.
Mmm.
Yeah, but you know,
you would really like her.
She's really smart
and really, really sweet
And really pretty.
And you both like dad.
Hello, mr. Elliot?
Yeah. This is jonathan bower.
Do you think maybe
you could come out and fix
our furnace right now?
Next week?
Wow.
Hello?
Hello?
Listen, bub,
nobody, I mean nobody,
Hangs up
on jonathan bow--
Hello?
Hello?
All right, elliot
you cannot get rid of me
That easily.
I can tie up
your lines all night.
I've got auto dial.
Now, I've got no heat
and two sick women here.
One's 83, and the other's
a vietnam vet.
Make it 15.
Well, I've never been able
to get mr. Elliot over here
In under two weeks,
But then again,
I never thought
of the vietnam angle.
Hey, you get back in bed.
You're not
wearing slippers.
I think I'll better stay up
for mr. Elliot.
I'm not
a little kid anymore.
I can handle elliot.
I bet you can.
And the next time
I want to go to
new york with todd,
I'm going.
Angela: okay.
You just make sure
you wear your mittens.
I mean your gloves.
Wait a minute.
Where's lisa?
Gone. She said she had
an early class in the morning.
What do you mean, early class?
She told me it was her day off.
Didn't she say
anything else?
Yeah.
"Have a nice life."
Uh-oh.
That's not good.
Dad, I was thinking tomorrow,
Let's try
the half-dollar run, okay?
Maybe I overdid the
vulnerability routine,
what do you think?
Dad, forget lisa.
Yeah, oh, okay, sam.
I just forget lisa, huh?
Sam, why don't
girls like me?
Dad, um, I've got to tell
you something.
I don't-i don't think
you're gonna like it.
Lisa didn't leave
because of you.
She left
because of angela.
Angela?
No.
No, no, no, dad.
See...i told lisa
That you and angela
were very close.
Go on.
Closer than close.
Sam, how could you
mislead her like that?
Well, dad,
you guys just met.
It's not like you two were
in love or anything.
But that is not
the point, sam.
Dad, it's our
last night here,
And, uh...
I thought you wanted
to spend time with me.
I'm sorry.
I get it.
What?
What?
You didn't need as much space
as you thought you did, huh.
Dad, please,
that's not it.
No, that's it.
That's it.
You wanted to spend time
with your daddy.
Dad!
That's it.
Oh, boy, admit it.
Admit it.
I had you the minute you took
that bite of that
fluffer-nutter.
Admit it.
Okay, okay, you win.
I like spending time
with my daddy.
Ooh!
And sweetheart,
I love spending time with you.
And you know why?
Why?

Hey, angela, could you come
