00:30I'm glad somebody's got something to sing about.
00:32Hey!
00:34Hey, oh.
00:36Do you know, I've been sitting here like a lemon
00:38for over three hours.
00:40Oh, yes, it's one of Cliff Richard's greatest hits.
00:42Oh, really?
00:44Well, my last meeting was cancelled,
00:46so I took an early flight.
00:48Oh, that's great.
00:50Well, I'll see you later.
00:52Bye.
00:54Bye.
00:56Bye.
00:58Well, my last meeting was cancelled,
01:00so I took an early flight.
01:02I assumed you'd be home.
01:04Well, pardon us for having a life, big sister.
01:06So, where have you been, anyways?
01:08Uh, there was a poetry reading
01:10down at the library.
01:12What does it look like?
01:14So, uh, what team were you supporting?
01:16Oh, none of them.
01:18I only go along for the noise.
01:20Antimo, Antimo,
01:22go and put Paddy's cases in the spare room.
01:24So, how's my favorite boy?
01:26I'm Cock-a-hoop.
01:28Angelo, the cases.
01:30Oh!
01:32I'm fine, Mom.
01:34How are you?
01:36Burnt out, jet-lagged, homesick,
01:38and longing to be back in Boston.
01:40You, too, I guess, huh?
01:42Yeah.
01:44Right.
01:46Oh, Melanie,
01:48I'm sorry.
01:50Come on through and meet Mike's mom.
01:52Paddy,
01:54Melanie, I'd like you to meet Melanie,
01:56a friend of mine.
01:58Hello, Mr. Mason.
02:00Hello, Melanie.
02:02Angelo, careful with those.
02:04Look, I think I'd better get back.
02:06It was fun.
02:08Bye, Mike.
02:10Melanie.
02:12Melanie.
02:14So, you must be famished
02:16after waiting out there all this time.
02:18Oh, no, not really.
02:20I was happy enough gnawing on my suitcase.
02:22I have to go.
02:24Well, your mum's here, and I think it's probably best.
02:26I'll see you tomorrow before you go.
02:28Sure.
02:30Cheer up, Michael.
02:32I will write to you.
02:34And maybe the holidays I can come and see you.
02:36Or you can come and see me.
02:38Yeah, that would be great.
02:40Things aren't going to be the same
02:42without old Mike here, are they?
02:44No, they're not.
02:46I'll see you in the morning.
02:48Bye, Mel.
02:50Bye.
03:02So, your business trip was a big success,
03:04huh, sis?
03:06Mega.
03:08They loved me.
03:10So, how's life
03:12in little old England, huh?
03:14Oh, we have not stopped laughing
03:16since you left.
03:18Remember when Mike and I built that robot?
03:20I'm afraid I do.
03:22Oh, then there was the nose.
03:24Oh, and the fly.
03:26Oh, and the time when Mr. Pinner's clothes
03:28got sucked off by the vacuum cleaner.
03:30And we had this terrific party for Mike's birthday.
03:32Oh, you should have been there.
03:34We had a disco, lights the whole kaboosh.
03:36And he's got himself a girlfriend.
03:38A girlfriend?
03:40Mm, you just met her.
03:42Out there?
03:44In here.
03:46I'm sorry for a pinner.
03:48Sounds like I've been missing out on all the fun.
03:50But I guess all good things come to an end.
03:52Is he all packed?
03:54Um, actually, no.
03:56Um, I think he wants to leave it to the last minute.
03:58Every time I mention
04:00about going home, he manages to change the subject.
04:02That's my boy.
04:04Takes after his dad.
04:06The day we got married, by the time he showed up
04:08at the church, I was halfway through the honeymoon.
04:10And so began your long love affair
04:12with yourself.
04:14Touche.
04:16Where is he anyways? Mikey!
04:18Um, he went up to his room.
04:20Oh, if I don't jog him along now,
04:22he'll still be packing when we get off the plane.
04:24Mikey!
04:26You know,
04:28I'm gonna miss him.
04:30Hmm, yeah.
04:32Me too.
04:36Mikey?
04:38Hey, don't overdo it
04:40with the welcome, will ya?
04:42I'm sorry, Mom.
04:44It's good to see you.
04:46Well, have you enjoyed your vacation?
04:48A lot.
04:50Mom?
04:52We don't want to be leaving this to the last minute.
04:54Heavy stuff at the bottom, remember?
04:56Shoes, books. Come on, Michael.
05:00Not like that.
05:02Neatly.
05:04I bet you can't wait to get back
05:06and see all your friends, huh?
05:08Oh, the trainers, Michael.
05:12Oh, let's get organized here.
05:14What's eating you?
05:16Huh?
05:18For me, you inherited your brains and good looks.
05:20All your father contributed were the moody silences.
05:22What is it?
05:24It's nothing, Mom.
05:26Mom?
05:28I thought you'd be dying to get back home.
05:30Back to your own room with all your own things.
05:32Your favorite TV shows.
05:34Baseball.
05:36Hot corned beef sandwiches.
05:38What is it? You took a sudden dislike
05:40to hot corned beef sandwiches? What?
05:42I don't know, Mom.
05:44It's just I've had such a fabulous time here
05:46that...
05:48That you don't want to come home with me.
05:50I get it.
05:52No, Mom.
05:54You'd rather stay here with good old Auntie Rita.
05:56I didn't say that.
05:58Well, this is terrific. Thanks a bunch.
06:00I'm so sorry that boring old Mom's
06:02come to spoil all the fun.
06:04It's not you, Mom. It's just...
06:06I hear what you're saying, Michael. Loud and clear.
06:08And you're not even listening.
06:10No, I can't do anything right, so it seems.
06:12The only thing I excel at is being a killjoy.
06:14Patty the party pooper. That's me.
06:16Mom!
06:18You may not like the way I am, but tough.
06:20That's how it is.
06:22I guess you're stuck with me.
06:24Oh.
06:36You were very subdued all through dinner.
06:38Was I?
06:40Yeah, I never heard you so quiet.
06:42Not since that Christmas when you bet the kids
06:44you could swallow a whole tangerine all in one go.
06:46I thought to myself, this is no way
06:48for a 29-year-old woman to behave.
06:50You must have been real surprised
06:52that your big sister can let her hair down with the rest of them.
06:54Well, who said you couldn't?
06:58You call this clean?
07:04Boy, are you ever edgy.
07:06What's the matter with you?
07:08Nothing. Not a thing.
07:10Absolutely nothing.
07:14You.
07:18At last. What have I done now?
07:20You just had to give my son
07:22the time of his life, didn't you?
07:24What?
07:26You couldn't just be any regular, normal,
07:28like down-to-earth kind of auntie.
07:30Oh, no. You have to come on like a
07:32souped-up Mary Poppins.
07:34Patty, what are you talking about?
07:36Nothing.
07:38Oh, again with the nothings.
07:40Come on. You ran the trailer. Now make with the movie.
07:42Oh, it's such a small thing, really.
07:44You just had to turn my only son against me
07:46and now he doesn't want to come home with me.
07:48What?
07:50She said that you just turned her only son against her.
07:52I heard. Thank you.
07:56I didn't believe what I was hearing,
07:58but I heard.
08:00Are you actually accusing me of...
08:04I don't know. What are you accusing me of?
08:06Work it out, sister.
08:10Work it out.
08:12Oh, I hate it when she does that.
08:14She always does that.
08:18Drives me crazy when she does that.
08:22Does what?
08:24Work it out, Angelo.
08:26Work it out!
08:28There you are.
08:30Oh.
08:32Howdy-doody, little buddy.
08:34Angelo, I don't know what to do.
08:36Tell me what to do.
08:38Right.
08:40Oh, I know.
08:42I know.
08:44I know.
08:46I know.
08:48I know.
08:50I know.
08:52I know.
08:54I know.
08:56Oh, I know.
08:58Grab hold of this bolt
09:00and pass me that screwdriver around there, will you?
09:06This isn't what I meant.
09:08I want to go home with Mom. I do.
09:10But I don't want to leave you guys either.
09:12And then there's Melanie.
09:14Uh, hacksaw.
09:20I had such a great time here, Angelo.
09:22You're the best friend I've had in my whole life.
09:24Could you grab that end and steady it for me?
09:26Aren't you listening?
09:28I'm moving in my heart here.
09:30Oh, I hear you.
09:32Soldering iron.
09:36I feel like I'm split right down the middle.
09:38I want to be in Boston, and I want to be here.
09:40Hmm.
09:42But with 3,000 miles
09:44between there and here,
09:46it's not as if you can just nip backwards and forwards
09:48when you feel like it, right?
09:50Right.
09:52Angelo,
09:54what are you building here?
09:56Ha-ha. The Angelo
09:58patent-pending, matter-bending...
10:00Angelo, I'm leaving in 15 hours.
10:02Forget what it's called. What does it do?
10:04Well, I thought to myself,
10:06if Star Trek can do it,
10:08I can do it, too.
10:10You mean...
10:12This is what I mean.
10:14Beam me up, Scotty.
10:16Get out of my face,
10:18you transporter machine!
10:20You can zip to Boston and back
10:22at the flick of a switch.
10:24Journey time, approximately
10:262.5 seconds. Beats the pants
10:28of Concord, and you don't lose your
10:30luggage at the airport. Way to go!
10:32Yes, and what a way to go.
10:34Come on. Let's give it a whirl.
10:36Now? Yep.
10:38There and back. A quick whiz across the Atlantic.
10:42You sure about this?
10:44As sure as I've ever been about anything.
10:46I'm dead.
10:48Right. Now, just got to set
10:50the coordinates for your apartment
10:52in Boston.
10:56There we are.
10:58Lilies would be nice.
11:00At my funeral.
11:02Oh, silly twisted boy.
11:04See you in a mo.
11:08Energise!
11:10Whoa!
11:12Whoa!
11:18It worked!
11:20Angelo! I'm here!
11:22Amazing. Yes.
11:24Well, that's turned the old pout inside out,
11:26eh? Right.
11:28We'd better get you back, baby.
11:32Energise!
11:34Oh.
11:36Sorry.
11:38Hang on, Mike.
11:40A touch of the gremlins.
11:42Hang on.
11:48Have you seen Michael?
11:50Michael who?
11:52He was way past his bedtime. I can't find him anyplace.
11:56Holy Toledo.
11:58I've got a clock
12:00just like that one.
12:02Whoa.
12:04Back home in Boston.
12:06It's identical.
12:08Barney, my husband,
12:10gave it to me last Christmas.
12:12He swore it was the only one
12:14of its kind in the world.
12:16Look, if I see Michael,
12:18you'll be the first to know.
12:20Good night.
12:26Hang on, Mikey.
12:28I've just got to get rid
12:30of this clock.
12:36Energise!
12:38Where's my son?
12:40He's not in his room.
12:42Why?
12:44I have him chained up in my deepest,
12:46darkest dungeon,
12:48where you, dear sister,
12:50will never find him.
12:52Are we really related?
12:54Or was there some horrible mix-up at the hospital?
12:57Look, Patty,
12:59I understand your feelings,
13:01but as usual, you are overreacting.
13:03Of course Michael doesn't
13:05prefer me to you.
13:07What's ridiculous? He was really looking forward
13:09to seeing you.
13:11Then where is he? He's not in the bathroom.
13:13He's not with Angela. Where?
13:15Watching television, perhaps?
13:19Michael!
13:21Well, he's got to be somewhere.
13:23Let's try out back.
13:27Come on!
13:29Yes!
13:31Yes!
13:33I'll see if he's back from Alaska yet.
13:35My gosh!
13:37Another one!
13:39What did they do?
13:41Give them away free with gas?
13:43Come on, Angelo.
13:45Ready when you are.
13:51PHONE RINGS
13:53Hello?
13:56Oh, hi there, Michael. It's Dad there.
13:58What?
14:00Michael?
14:02Nobody here by that name, lady.
14:04You want to order a pizza, don't you?
14:06Pizza?
14:08Stop wasting my time, dollface!
14:10Angelo!
14:12It's all fixed.
14:14Hang on to your hockey sticks.
14:16Here we go!
14:18Energize!
14:21Hmm?
14:23Paddy, I've searched everywhere.
14:25There's no sign of him.
14:27Then where could he have gone?
14:29You don't think he...
14:31Nah.
14:33He wouldn't run off, would he?
14:35Would he?
14:37The mood he was in?
14:39Call the police.
14:41No, he wouldn't.
14:43I don't believe it. He's not that kind of kid.
14:45Oh, so now you know my son better than I know my son.
14:47Oh, will you cut this out?
14:50Look, Michael stayed here.
14:52He had a terrific holiday. He made some new friends.
14:54Oh, don't I know it!
14:56He wrote me every day telling me what a swell, wonderful time he was having.
14:58Yeah, exactly.
15:00He wrote you every day, every single day.
15:02Now, what does that tell you?
15:04That he was thinking about you, Paddy?
15:06That everything we did...
15:08He was always saying he wished you could have been with us.
15:11He said that?
15:13Well, what do you think?
15:16You're his mum.
15:18He loves you.
15:20Oh, Rita.
15:23Sometimes I just don't think.
15:27You know me.
15:30Come on.
15:32Let's find that kid of yours.
15:34He has to be here somewhere.
15:40Angelo!
15:42Get me out of here!
15:45Oh, dear.
15:47The transporter seems to have confused North London with the North Pole.
15:51It's a joke.
15:53Angelo!
15:55No need to get overheated.
15:57Right, now...
15:59That goes to there.
16:03Angelo!
16:05Oh, dear. Ah, yes.
16:07That goes to that.
16:10That goes to that.
16:13That goes to there.
16:15That goes over there. That goes over there.
16:18Yes!
16:28Michael!
16:30Oh, well, let's try up with Angelo.
16:33But look, they're all ready.
16:35Well, let's look again.
16:44Angelo.
16:46Have you seen Michael?
16:48Oh, I expect he's chilling out somewhere.
16:53Oh, look!
16:55Isn't that him out there in Mr Pinner's garden?
16:57Where?
16:59Where?
17:01Where?
17:03I can't see anything.
17:05Oh, is that him there?
17:07Rita, the boy's small, but he doesn't wear a beard and a pointy hat.
17:12That's a garden gnome.
17:25Yes!
17:26Hi, Mom.
17:28Mikey?
17:29Oh, thank heavens!
17:31Where have you been?
17:33I, uh, just popped out.
17:36But you're freezing.
17:38It's a cold evening out there.
17:40But you're covered in snow. It's the middle of summer.
17:43Oh, that's England for you.
17:46Come here.
17:53You will write, won't you?
17:55Ah, who needs to write, eh?
17:58He's going to be popping back to see you every five minutes.
18:01Angelo's assured me that his Star Trek gizmo's in full working order.
18:05Where are you and Angelo?
18:07Where are you and Angelo?
18:09He's dreading you going away.
18:11Me too.
18:12OK, guys, time we were off.
18:16Well, I'll be seeing you.
18:18Sooner than you think.
18:29Hold everything, guys.
18:31I just called the airport. The plane's fog-bound.
18:34Minimum eight-hour delay.
18:36Oh, what a drag!
18:38Well, I have a meeting first thing in the morning.
18:40Now what am I going to do?
18:43Will all passengers travelling to Boston
18:45kindly make their way up to the attic?
18:48Huh?
18:53I must be insane to go through with this.
18:55Relax, Mom. It really works.
18:58Thanks again, Angelo.
19:00Without you, where would we all be?
19:07Huh?
19:11Where would we all be?
19:13A very good question.
19:15I hazard a guess, at Egypt.
19:17Oh, yes, definitely Egypt.
19:19Well, don't you see? The pyramids, the camels.
19:22Why are you all looking at me like that?
19:28Angelo!
