Transcript
00:00Got some sweets for my new source. You want one?
00:07You know, going to school has made you a real healthy lad, hasn't it?
00:16Orlando B. Parker. Only black kid in Chicago that writes Dear Abby.
00:26How many five-year-olds did you turn on today, candy man?
00:37Orlando B. Parker, you get them steaks and get them going.
00:43So we can have a nice, compatible family evening.
00:48I do want you to go.
00:50Even if I can't find anyone?
00:52He doesn't actually need anyone with that self-steering vein.
00:55What about Dick Stanwood?
00:57Mr. Yacht Club?
00:59Well, honey, he pooed for his father on the Ensenada race. I bet he'd go.
01:04If you'd make him feel useful.
01:07What do you mean?
01:09I mean you've been asking all your friends to go like so much cargo and dead weight.
01:15Cal, I've talked to some of the mothers. I mean, you've asked 12 boys not to go.
01:20Honey, you're just going to have to get off this tack and decide whether you want to go at all.
01:24Try Stanwood, Cal.
01:27I'll talk to his dad.
01:32Denmark, well, I presume.
01:34I thought you said you were bringing some of your gear, Stanwood.
01:37Ready to hate me?
01:38The space opened up for me on a chartered flight to Athens.
01:43What do you mean?
01:44Ten guys, 93 chicks. Would you pass that up?
01:48Where am I going to find someone by tomorrow?
01:50You'd rather go alone anyway.
01:52Isn't that what you told me?
02:22Yeah, I can drop you off up at the freeway.
02:31Better than just standing.
02:42How would you like to sail to Hawaii?
02:47What's the cost?
02:48Nothing. It's my boat.
02:52Even nothing costs something.
02:54My mom, she won't let me go unless I take someone. It's a small boat.
03:02Hawaii's over there, huh?
03:05Yeah, about 2,300 miles. West.
03:12West.
