S1 E15Unfinished Business
What? You ain't never seen a bra before? Turn around.
Haven't you ever wanted something so badly it hurt?
[on the phone] Is your friend Meg Pryor there with you? Her mother said that she might be.
[to Meg] He wants you.
I'm not here.
[back to the phone] She's not here. Can I take a message?
Yes you can. You can tell Meg that there is no excuse for what she did today. Because for every kid that dances on our show, there are a thousand - no, ten thousand - kids who wish they could.
What did she do?
What did she do? She walked off the set right in the middle of the show. So you can tell Meg that if she plans on coming back to our show, she better take it a little bit more seriously next time, ok? Even if her best friend didn't get a chance to come back this week.
I'll tell her. And you can count on her to take it very seriously from now on. In fact, I can guarantee that she'll be here next show. Oh, and so will I. Bye, Mike. [hangs up]
Um I have to leave the show.
What?
The only reason I'm on American Bandstand is because my best friend Roxanne Bojarski got us on. So I can't be on the show unless she is too. So if you want her to dance the show, that would be really great, but you have to call her and ask her. Or else I can't be on the show. I just can't. [hands Michael phone number and walks off]
WWill
So anything could happen.
That's true.
WWill
So someday there might be satellites with bombs and lasers?
There might be. And there might not be. Anything could happen.
WWill
I know, that's what's so scary.
That's what's so exciting. Come here. Come sit with me. Come up here. It's a big adventure. Like the first time you rode the roller coaster at Willow Grove. You were so excited. Remember what it was like when the car was going up? And you kept asking, "What's it gonna feel like when we go down? How fast are we gonna go?" You were so excited. Because you didn't know what was gonna happen. Well, that's what the future's like. Except there are no tracks. That's what makes it an adventure.
You can go. But you take the bus...
I love the bus!
And you're home by 10.
10?
Ok, 9:45.
9:45?
9:30. Wanna try for 9?
Ok, ok. Thank you dad! I'll be home by 10.
9:30!
JJJ.J.
Do you ever feel like the whole world has a plan, except nobody told you?
Yeah. All the time.
Dad? Um... [starts fake crying]
Is there something in your eye, Meg?
No, um...
Yes you can.
[about Jimmy Riley] He doesn't hate you.
I gave him a black eye!
No, it's not me, because you see, Jimmy and me are...
Jimmy and I.
Patty, I'm trying to be nice here!
[sarcastically] Sorry.
You know what happened to that kid?
What?
He grew up to be associate producer of the show.
But that's you... oh.
Except now, that job's already taken. So I better not catch you doing this again.
You won't.
I won't because...
Because I won't do it again.
What are you doing out here? I thought you had a date with Luke.
Nope, you do. Look, the sooner you admit you like him the easier this gets for all of us. So go on in there! He's closing up!
Patty's, uh, recital piece is really coming along.
One appearance on Pick a Disc and you're a musical expert?
Rate a Record. And no, I just know when I like something.
Hmmm, so you're saying you might appreciate good music too?
If this is about Bob Dylan-
Bob Dylan happens to be a genius. But this is about you.
Me?
Yeah, you, Betty. And uh, you can bring Veronica too if you like.
Her name is Roxanne. And bring her where?
Somewhere we play music, not rate it. [walks away]
You know, this next song is by a guy named Beethoven. And while most people like the melody, I like it because its got a nice beat and heck, I can dance to it. I'd give it an 88.
