Katie sam, will you knock it off?!


[ Mockingly ] ♪ let's hear it for the boy


[ Sighs ]


If samantha sings that song one more time,


You have my permission to choke her.


Hmm. My pleasure.

Samantha, could I see you over here a minute?


What's with you?


Your boyfriend jeffrey.


Ever since he gave you that record,


It's all we've been hearing.


Get real, katie. I haven't even kissed him yet.


You haven't kissed anybody yet.


You just mind your own business, katie kanisky!


I don't butt into your private life!


Whoa!


Now, you're too young to know about katie's private life.


We're all too young to know about katie's private life.


Uh, nell. Can I talk to you alone?


Honey, not now. I really want to finish the laundry.


Nell, she just wants to tell you


That she's not in love with jeffrey.


And he's not too old for her,


Even though he's and drives a white van.


Let's talk.


Park it.


Now, what is this about you dating an -year-old


With a love boat on wheels?


Well, he's this real neat guy,


But he had an argument with his father.


His father threw his suitcase out the window


And jeffrey out the front door --


Said he never wanted to see him again


As long as he lived.


How could a father do that to his own son?


Yeah.


He's been living in his van for a month.


A month?


And I was wondering if he could use our shower.


Honey, if I were him, I wouldn't wait a minute longer.


Thanks, nell. I knew you'd say it was okay.


Where is he now, honey?


Upstairs in the shower.


It's good to know I'm still in charge around here.


Hey, aunt nell! Guess what?!


The mail got here, and look what the chief sent me!


[ Squealing ]


What is it?


It's an official sherlock holmes hat and a magnifying glass.


Boy, and the chief sent it all the way from scotland yard!


What do you think?


I think, sherlock, that you should go upstairs


And try to solve the case of the missing socks.


And here's your first clue.


They will match the five single socks


I have in the dirty laundry.


Great, aunt nell!


My first case! The missing socks!


Not so fast, baby.


Why was jeffrey thrown out of his house?


Well, his stepmother doesn't like him,


And she turned his father against him.


He's not going back home until he can prove to his father


He can make it on his own.


And he will.


Oh.


You like him a lot, don't you?


Yeah. [ Chuckles ]


Well, just how did you meet him, anyway?


It was fate.


I squeegeed him.


I beg your pardon.


At the school charity car wash.


I was on bucket and squeegee that day.


Say, nell, I was in the garage just now,


And I heard a man's voice singing in the shower.


Is that something we should check into?


No, it's just one of sam's friends.


Oh, thank heaven.


I thought we had a problem with one of the girls.

[ Both laugh ]


Nell? What?


Jeffrey has this interview at the supermarket


At tomorrow morning.


It's so early.


Could he sleep on the couch tonight?


Did you already tell him he could?


Yeah.


See that? I'm still in charge.


Boy, that shower felt great.


Hi. I'm jeff hamilton.


And you must be nell?


Wow.


You're not quite what I expected.


Jeff, nell said you could sleep on the couch tonight.


No, you've done enough already. I don't want to impose.


Impose? Now, how could you impose?


Listen. Put some clean linen on your father's bed.


He can spend the night in the chief's room.


It's only for one night.


Wow, thanks, nell.


Only on one condition -- I work it off for you.


I'm good at carpentry.


I can mow the lawn, wash dishes, and I'm a great mechanic.


Ooh, you know what?


You're gonna love my french toast in the morning.


I always get up at .


Oh, boy!


I got to get myself a squeegee.


Wow, she sure is fantastic.


You know, sam.


I'm really lucky to know someone like you.


You are?


And when I get a job, I'm going to put a little money away.


And do you know where we'll go?


Where?


Acapulco.


Really?


You know, I have a lot of money saved up already.


No, when we go, it's gonna be with my money.


But I could help. I have $ . In the bank.


I've been saving since I was a kid.


You think nell will be in the kitchen for a while?


I don't know. Why?


I don't know -- just asked.


Um, do you want a cookie?


No.


I think I do.


I kind of like being alone with you.


Yeah, me too.


Still want a cookie?


I hate cookies.


I fixed the knob on the closet door, nell.


Oh, jeffrey.


You have done so much around here in the past week.


Oh, I haven't done that much --


Mowed the lawn, fixed the door.


Oh, by the way, I fixed the vacuum cleaner upstairs.


Oh, listen. There is something you can do for me.


I forgot to pick up something at the market.


Do you think you could watch the spaghetti sauce


On the stove for me?


Well, I'll drive down for you. What did you forget to buy?


The spaghetti.


Give me the money. I'll be right back.


You know what? You are a lifesaver.


No problemo.


Oh, nell, could you give me a few more bucks for gas?


I'm flat broke. You know what I mean?


Of course I know what you mean.


Here you go. There you go.


Thanks.


[ Door closes ]


You know, it's a shame a nice kid like that can't get a job.


Why should he get a job?


He gets money from you.


And just what is that supposed to mean?


Aw, he doesn't need money for gas.


He's a phony.


He is not!


Bet you a dollar.


Joey, there is one thing people have always admired about me,


And that is that I am a wonderful judge of character.


Want to make it $ ?


Where did you get $ from, joey?


Oh, from our bet yesterday.


Our bet?!


Yeah, when you bet me


That we wouldn't be in the store long enough


To need a dime for the parking meter.


How was I supposed to know the meter maid


Was standing behind me?


I knew.


Hey!


I'm gonna take you up on your bet just to teach you a lesson.


If jeff had been trying to hustle us,


He would have hit on everybody in this family for gas money.


I gave him bucks.


I gave him $ .


I'm in for $ . .



Double or nothing, aunt nell?


Whatever happened to that job


Jeff was gonna get at the supermarket?


Yeah, he never mentioned it again.


Face it, nell.


Jeffrey's been with us one week.


All he's done is charm the pants of you


And a pair of pajamas off me.


Oh, lord. What have we gotten ourselves into?


And what has samantha gotten herself into?


A white van that sleeps four.


Hi, everybody!


Goodbye, everybody.


Oh, yeah. I need to get back to my coloring.


Something wrong?


Jeff, did you have enough gas to get to the store?


Sure.


Did julie's $ help?


Katie's $ ? Grandpa's $ . ?


Hey, I'm keeping track of every penny in my room upstairs.


That is not your room! That's the chief's room!


The room you were supposed to spend one night in


Until you got that job!


What job?


That job!


Oh, that job? I didn't get it.


On the way to the interview, my van broke down.


Probably overloaded with gas.


You're beginning to sound just like my father.


I am beginning to like your father.


Listen, jeffrey.


As far as you and samantha are concerned, you are history.


I want you packed and out of this house in five minutes.


Got it?!


Got it.


Oh, nell.


You don't have a suitcase I could borrow, do you?


Dad broke mine throwing it out the window.


No suitcase, jeffrey.


Oh, and jeffrey... Your pajamas belong to grandpa.


Oh. Well, then, I guess I have nothing to pack.


Well, at least he did one nice thing --


He fixed the closet d--


Oh, hi, nell.


Samantha, please stop juggling the meatballs.


Where's jeffrey?


I told him to leave.


I also told him I didn't want him to see you anymore.


Honey, he was taking advantage of this whole family,


Especially you.


That's not true! It is true, samantha.


You're lying!


Listen! You don't know what you're talking about!


Nell, you don't know how I feel!


Samantha, listen to me! But I love him, nell!


Nell, I love him! I hate you!


[ Sighs ]


Nell, what's with sam?


She's upset, but I'm going to talk to her.


Well, you'd better hurry.


What?! She's going to acapulco with jeff.


Don't be crazy!


He doesn't have enough money to go to mexico!


No, but samantha does.


She just got in his van, and she's got her bankbook with her.


Samantha!


[ Tires screeching, engine accelerating ]


[ Sighs ] what have I done?


[ Sighs ]


I just sent a -year-old girl off to acapulco


With an -year-old boy.


Gee, I hope they know enough to stay at the las flores hotel.


They've got a great beach.


Acapulco. That's mexico. That's a foreign country.


She's got to come back!


Look. Stop worrying, nell.


If we're lucky, maybe she won't go all the way with jeff.


Katie, don't help.


Look, I think we should call daddy.


He'll know what to do.


Why would he know what to do when he's in england?


He doesn't know what to do when he's here.


You're right.


Besides, he would only worry.


Maybe we should call the police.


What?!


I can just see tomorrow's headlines --


"Police chief's -year-old daughter flees to mexico."


What are we gonna do?


Suppose she does go all the way with jeff?


Katie, please! Don't help!


Look, mellow out, nell. I'm talking about acapulco.


No!


Besides, that would be the last resort.


I don't think so, nell.


There's a club med further south.


Somebody stop her from talking!


Oh, sure! Try to help! I can't win.


Katie, I'm sorry.


I-i -- honey, I don't know why I'm yelling at you.



I'm the one that ran sam away. This is all my fault.


No, it isn't, nell. Katie helped.


Me?!


Yes! You and julie both!


I told you about teasing each other!


Samantha is sensitive! You should know that by now!


You're right, aunt nell.


They tease me, and I'm sensitive.


You sure are sensitive, baby. Now butt out!


Screaming at each other and feeling guilty


Isn't gonna help things at all.


[ Telephone rings ]


Oh, that's her. I know it is.


Oh, lord. Let it be her.


Hello?!


Chief hello, nell? [ Whimpers ]


It's the chief. It's the chief.


He knows samantha's gone. He knows.


How could he know? He's in england.


But he's at scotland yard.


They have a way of finding out these things.


Hi, chief! How is everything in england?


Fine, fine.


Julie wants to say hi.


You talk to your father about anything but samantha


Or you'll be living in the garage.


Here's julie!


Hi, daddy! Everything is fine!


That's good, sweetheart.


And katie wants to say hi! Hold on!


Remember -- one word about samantha,


And you'll be living in the car in the garage!


Here's katie!


Hi, dad!


Everything is fine!


Nice to hear your voice, honey.


Katie and julie are getting on the kitchen phone!


Where's samantha?


Oh, she's spending the night with a friend.


[ Receiver clicks ]


Ugh!


Ugh!


Nell, stop whipping yourself.


[ Sighs ]


Grandpapa...


I keep forgetting she's not my baby anymore,


That's she's -- she's growing up.


If I had talked to her, I would have known what she felt.


Grandpop, I love samantha. I don't want to see her hurt.


Nell, I'd like to give you a few words of wisdom,


Something that will heal your mind in this moment of crisis.


Oh, grandpapa, thank you. What is it?


I don't know. I can't think of a damn thing.


Boy, that conversation with daddy was so boring.


Well, why didn't you talk about what's happening in your life?


That's what we were talking about.


Look, why don't we watch tv like we do every night,


And if sam isn't home by midnight,


We will call the police.


You're right, grandpapa.


[ Beeping ]


[ "America the beautiful" plays ]


[ Tv turns off ]


It's in the morning! Why didn't somebody wake me up?!


Well, you said you were gonna wake us up!


How could i?! I was sleeping!


Nell, we'll have to call the police.


Oh, grandpapa, you're right. Okay.


[ Telephone rings ]


Hello?


Samantha! Baby, are you all right? Huh?


You're crying.


Don't tell me you're not crying when I can hear you crying!


What?!


Where are you, baby?


I'll be right there.


Well, where is she?!


My poor baby.


He took her money, and then he dumped her on the beach!


Samantha!


Sam!


Come here.


It's all right. It's all right. It's all right.


Shh.


You know what?


I think you're old enough for your first cup of coffee, okay?


Come on.


[ Sighs ]


[ Singsong voice ] good morning.


Um, two coffees, please.


I'll have milk.


One milk, two coffees.


Want to talk about it?


I don't understand, nell.


Of course you don't understand.


How could he just leave me like that?


When he kissed me, I thought we had something special.


You did have something special,


But you felt it, and he didn't.


But we were gonna go to acapulco to live.



He said he could make money by diving for sponges.


Sponges he'd know about.


It's not like that, nell.


I know, I know.


I'm never gonna see him again.


[ Scoffs ]


I feel bad about that, too.


I would love to see him one more time.


He went to tijuana.


Then he said he was gonna join the navy.


You know, I begged to go with him.


But you know what he said?


He said I have it made.


He said I have a great family,


And I have somebody to take care of me.


And he said he didn't have anything.


He did have something.


He had the best.


He had you and didn't even know it.


One milk and two coffees.


Anything else?


Uh, honey, you should put something on your stomach.


How about a couple of danish?


I'll have a doughnut.


Two danish and a doughnut.


Feel any better?


I don't think I'll ever feel better.


It's all part of being a woman.


Well, I think love stinks.


Oh, no, it doesn't.


This is just your first love,


And, believe me, there will be others.


Look at me. I keep trying.


Why do you keep trying?


Because when it's right,


It's really right.


But you'll have to find it out for yourself.


Two danish and a doughnut.


Some people never get it right.


Come on. Let's go home.


Nell, I'll love jeff as long as I live.


I'll never love anybody else.


I know, I know let's go.


Hi! How you doing?
