Hey!

I was just, um...

Pretending to be young?

I suppose it's natural

to get a little giddy

when going on vacation.

Giddy?

Yes.

You know

the feeling you get

when everything matches?

Oh, hi, Dexter.

Hi, Kate.

Did you bring

the Baxter proposal?

Right here.

It appears to be

written in blood.

They'll distribute our toys

throughout Canada,

but they insist

on a percent discount.

And they want us to pay

for the advertising too?

I'm surprised they didn't ask

for the moon.

Check the last page.

What?!

Just kidding.

Oh, really, Dexter.

Edward, this proposal

is a mess.

I can't go waltzing off

to Cape Cod.

Ah-ah-ah!

Honey, we've been over this.

We've been putting off

our summer vacation...

all summer.

I've worked on this

Canadian deal a long time--

You've done

a wonderful job.

Don't you think you deserve

a couple weeks off?

You've done all the hard work,

now Dexter can fuss

over small details.

Oh, goody. I love fussing.

I-I don't know...

I'll only be a phone call away.

Don't worry.

It's all right.

Right, but, however--

You don't want Edward left alone

with all those bikinis.

Bikinis?

I'll go get my tennis racket.

Now you're talking!

Okay, Dex, you can

help me load the car.

Say what?

I just saw Richard out front.

Why don't you get him?

'Cause he's out front saying

goodbye to his girlfriend,

and I wouldn't want

to interrupt.

Well, I would.

♪ Inside, outside, USA ♪

♪ Woo, woo, woo, woo! ♪

Tammy, you didn't have to get me

a going-away present.

Well, then give it back.

No way.

Boy, would you

look at that!

[CHUCKLES]

Isn't that great?

Terrific.

Useful too.

What is it?

It's a nose guard, silly.

That way, your nose won't get

all b*rned and peely.

But won't I look like

a real dork?

Yep. I don't want

any beach bunnies

liking what they see.

Tammy, I promise I'm not even

gonna look at another girl.

Oh, sure.

Look, you have my word on it.

Besides, you're numero uno.

Ooh, I love it

when you speak Spanish.

Are you sure you can't

get away and come visit?

No, I wish I could,

but duty calls at the...

Atomic Burger!

Station wagon's

all packed.

Station wagon?

Yeah, finally.

I thought the station wagon

was in the shop for new brakes?

We'll have to switch everything

into the Jeep.

Dex? Dex!

[♪♪♪]

Well,

it's about time.

Honey, look

what you're missing.

I had one little phone call

to make. That is it.

From now on,

I'm going to relax.

I'm not even going to think

about the Baxter deal.

Well, good.

Let Dexter worry about it.

If he has trouble,

he can always...

[PHONE RINGING]

...call you.

I'll just be a sec.

What happened?

Uh, uh, nothing!

A guy and his dog

ran by here.

I don't know why they let dogs

on this beach.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Who was that

on the phone?

Oh, Dexter.

Edward, I promise,

if the phone rings again,

I am not gonna go

in the house and answer it.

Well, good.

[PHONE RINGING]

You see, I...

I brought it out here.

You're actually

going to sit...

Hello?

Yes, I have those

figures inside.

I think we offered percent,

but go .

Hi, Dad.

Hey, hey, son!

That thing makes you look

like a real dork.

Dad, I promised Tammy

I would wear it, okay?

Hey, how about you and me

spending some father-son time?

We could have a tanning contest.

Sorry, Dad. I promised some guys

I'd go surfing.

Then we're going water skiing

this afternoon.

I've never seen you

so busy.

Yeah, well, keeping busy

helps pass the time.

Two days down,

and to go.

I'm so glad we're all enjoying

our summer vacation.

Dad, it's just that I miss

Tammy, that's all.

Hon, did we depreciate

our new factory equipment

over five years or seven?

Ooh, the fun never stops.

Coming, hon.

Hi. We're renting

the cabin next door.

I'm Donna.

Hi.

You a surfer?

Yeah,

I hit the monster foam

every now and then.

I've always wanted to try,

but it looks so dangerous.

The bigger the risk,

the bigger the fun.

Ooh!

Can you swim?

Sure.

Then you're halfway there.

I can teach you.

Really?

You're probably

too busy.

I usually am, but not today.

Let me go get a towel, and I'll

tell my folks where I'll be.

I see you in a few minutes.

It's a date.

Right. A date.

No! No,

it's not a date.

It's really more like a mutually

agreeable time

to meet at, like, a mutually

agreeable location.

Right.

A date.

[♪♪♪]

Look, Kate, I'm starving!

KATE:

Be right there!

I hurried as fast as could.

I just threw something on.

Nice throw.

Oh.

What is that?

Uh, just something I wanted

to look over at dinner.

We're going to the most romantic

restaurant in Cape Cod,

it's gonna be too dark

to even read the menu.

Well, I just wanted to look over

a few figures.

Well, I'm just

going to look over one.

[MOANS]

[PHONE RINGING]

Oh, I'll be right back.

EDWARD:

Say, young fellow,

it's after p.m.

Jacket and tie

required on the beach.

You're out of uniform.

Hi, Dad.

How's it going?

I've got trouble, Dad.

Right here in River City?

Dad, I met this really great

girl today. Her name's Donna.

We went surfing, water skiing,

ate ice cream, walked,

talked,

had a fabulous day.

Now she's invited me

to a barbecue.

Gosh, it never rains

but it pours.

Dad, you know what I mean.

I promised Tammy

I wouldn't even look

at another girl.

Sorry for the delay.

Oh, Rick, want to go out

to dinner with us?

Oh, no, he can't.

He's been invited to a barbecue.

By a girlfriend.

A girlfriend, huh?

She's not a girlfriend.

She's a friend who is a girl,

which makes her a girl friend,

not a girlfriend.

Right.

I think.

You might feel better

if you told Donna

about your girlfriend.

Want to bet?

All right, I'll think about it,

okay?

Okay.

Night.

Night.

DONNA:

Rick.

Donna, um-- There's something

I want to tell you.

Great, 'cause I have

something too.

What'd you want to tell me?

You go first.

No, you first. Mine can wait.

Believe me.

Well, I just wanted

to let you know

that I've been having

a pretty dull summer.

I mean, up until now, I haven't

done much of anything.

You haven't?

No, I've just been

at the cabin reading books.

I was pretty bored

until you came along.

Me?

I had

a terrific time today.

Thanks to you.

Now, what is it

you wanted to tell me?

Um, the barbecue--

Yeah, the barbeque.

I go medium on the sauce.

Not too heavy,

not too light.

Brushed on.

[♪♪♪]

Oh!

I can feel myself

unwinding.

Oh, this is wonderful.

I guess I really

needed to relax.

What did I tell you?

Mm.

I sure enjoyed

last night.

[CHUCKLES]

Me too.

[SCOFFS]

I was talking about our dinner.

Oh. Yeah, that was nice too.

See what happens when I get you

away from the phone?

I've been very good today.

Yeah, except

for this morning.

When we were out on that yacht?

It wasn't a yacht.

It was a fishing boat.

Oh, that's what

that smell was.

How would you know?

You were in the cabin

talking to Dexter on the

ship-to-shore for two hours.

All I was doing was tending

to some teensy details.

Teensy details?

You rented

a Xerox machine.

It was a typewriter.

But that is all behind me.

I am totally yours.

Oh?

Yeah.

Tonight we're gonna have

another great evening.

Another nice dinner?

Oh. That too.

I've got come nice wine chilling

and I picked up

two fresh lobsters.

Mm-mm-mmm, sounds good.

I'll be back.

I want to check that wine.

[CHUCKLES]

[PHONE RINGING]

[IN ITALIAN ACCENT]

It's Angelo's Pizzeria,

what do you want?

No. Is-a no Kate here.

We got anchovy, pepperoni,

provolone no Kate, goodbye.

[CHUCKLES]

How about

some fresh corn on the cob

for dinner?

Sounds great.

Yeah.

[PHONE RINGS]

What's that?

I didn't hear anything.

[CONTINUES RINGING]

I didn't hear anything again.

[CONTINUE RINGING]

Where's my telephone?

Your telephone?

The sound's coming

from down here.

[RINGING]

Did you bury my phone?

[SNORTS]

Bury your phone.

[RINGING]

You buried my phone!

This could be important.

Kate, look at yourself.

You're down on all fours

digging like an animal.

[GRUNTING]

Sound like one too.

I got it!

No.

Kate!

Ah, here it is.

Hello, hello.

Oh--

They hung up.

It's okay.

No, it's not okay.

Look at me, Edward. I'm down

on all fours like an animal.

It's all right.

Edward, I need a vacation.

Well, we're in

a good spot for one.

Ah, I'm sorry.

That's it.

No more...

business.

Really?

Really.

No Dexter,

no telephone.

Well, good.

It's just gonna be you and me

and Fred and Ethel.

Who?

The lobsters.

Hey, boy. You missed

a good fishing trip.

You guys get up

way too early.

Ho-ho-ho-ho. Did you have a good

time with Donna last night?

Yeah.

Did you tell her about

your girlfriend, Tammy?

Well, yes and no.

Yes and no?

Yes, I wanted to.

No, I didn't.

We're only gonna be here

another week, right?

Right.

After that,

I'm probably never

gonna see Donna again.

Telling her about

Tammy will hurt her.

I don't want to do that.

How thoughtful of you.

Thanks.

Now, by seeing Donna,

you won't be hurting Tammy?

Only if I were cruel enough

to tell her.

You want to have your cake

and eat it too, huh?

Dad, you don't understand

anymore.

[EDWARD CHUCKLES]

Fred went peacefully.

Ethel put up one heck

of a fight.

We'll hold memorial services

on my plate.

[LAUGHS]

Ahh.

Ohh, boy.

Now that I've decided

to relax,

I feel like a huge weight

has been lifted off me.

Uh-huh. Sure you don't care

who that was on the phone?

No, I don't care if it was

the office, or Dexter,

I don't even care if it was

Canton imports.

Canton imports?

You mean the people

who are going to distribute

Eddie Toys all over China?

China, schmina.

I got your favorite cheese.

Hold the cheese, here, Kate.

We're talking about one billion

potential customers.

We'll deal with it

when we get home.

Honey, that's almost

two weeks away!

We could lose

the account.

Edward,

what has gotten into you?

We'll call them back.

Tell them we were in a...

I don't know.

...a conference.

Quick, sound like an office.

Come on!

It's clogged with sand.

Throw the darn thing

in the ocean.

I'm gonna use the phone

in the house.

Edward!

Come back here and relax

this instant!

Edward!

[♪♪♪]

Guess who?

Oh, God.

No, guess again.

Tammy?

Surprise!

Tammy!

Oh, I missed you so much!

What are you doing here?

I thought you had to work.

I got the weekend off.

My brother was driving this way.

So... Here I am.

Yeah. You sure are.

We can be together all weekend.

Where can I change

into my swimsuit?

Um, there's a gas station

just a mile down the road.

[LAUGHS]

You.

I'll be right back.

Hi, Rick.

Donna! Donna, Donna, hey, Donna.

Ready to go surfing?

Surfing? No!

No. I can't.

Why not?

My knee. My knee.

What's wrong with it?

What's wrong with it?

The question is

what's not wrong?

Tendons, ligaments--

I can hardly move it.

Poor baby.

Yeah.

Would you mind if I passed

on surfing today?

Are you serious?

I don't expect you go surfing

when you're in pain

like this.

Look, I'll just rest up over the

weekend like the doctor said.

My board's right there.

Go. Go have a blast.

Don't be ridiculous.

I'm not leaving your side.

You have to!

Uh, what I mean is...

Donna, when I'm in pain

like this,

I don't like girls

to see me wince.

[WINCES DRAMATICALLY]

I love men who wince.

It shows they're human,

like Phil Donahue.

All I need is the weekend,

and I'll be fine.

Are you sure?

I'm positive.

As a matter of fact,

I'm going to sleep now, okay?

Okay. If you're gonna be

all right.

I'll be fine.

I'll look in on you tomorrow.

Maybe you'd better call first.

Who's that girl?

No one! She was just

asking directions to the beach.

Imagine that, not knowing

where the darn beach is.

Boy, some girls are really dumb.

Come on. Let's go.

I'm dying to jump in.

No, Tammy, it's much better

over there.

But, there's nobody there.

That's why it's better.

We can be alone.

Well, it's all rocky

and icky-looking.

Come on.

It's nice over here.

Aah!

[GASPS]

What happened?

My knee! I twisted it.

Oh, sit down.

Oh, the pain. Ooh.

I'll get some ice.

Okay. No hurry.

Take your time.

I felt guilty.

Huh?

When you're in pain like this.

What kind of friend am I?

A great friend, an

understanding, perfect friend.

Goodbye.

Nope. I'm keeping you company.

You are?

You like Monopoly?

Yeah.

Oh, darn. I forgot the dice.

I'll be right back.

Take your time.

Take your time.

Here, put this on your knee.

Um, I thought

your knee was hurt.

It was.

It's a trick knee.

It's always

playing these darn tricks.

I thought it was

the other knee?

See how tricky it is?

I'll show you the pier.

It's just a five-mile walk.

I forgot my suntan lotion.

I got it.

Okay.

Who's that?

Who's she?

[LAUGHING]

Tammy, this is Donna.

Donna, this is Tammy.

So, wouldn't even look

at another girl, huh?

Tammy...

Hurt your knee, huh?

Ow!

Aah. Oh.

That must have hurt.

Uh-huh.

Hey, guys.

There's a perfectly logical

explanation to all this.

Hey! Give me my pail.

For you. For me.

For me. For you.

Resident. That's for Rick.

Well, there they are.

Ha! Welcome back,

you beach bums and bunnies.

Hiya, Dex.

Tell me all about your trip.

Don't skip anything,

least of all those bikinis.

[CHUCKLES]

We took loads

of pictures.

And brought back

tons of souvenirs.

Great.

When can I see them?

As soon as you

help me unload the car.

Not again?

Get Richard for

those manual things.

That's what children

are for.

He's on the phone

trying to patch things up

with his girlfriend.

What happened this time?

I'll tell you all about it

while we unload the car.

Aw.

Hi, Kate.

Hi. How's it going?

Terrific. I explained

the whole thing to Tammy.

I used psychology, logic,

and flattery.

When that didn't work,

I begged.

Never fails.

We're an item once again.

Oh, that's nice.

She's coming over

to make it official.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Looks like

she could hardly wait.

Kate, they never can.

Hi, I'm Cheryl.

We just moved in next door.

I saw you drive up and I thought

I'd come over and say hi.

Oh, no. Not again.
