Silver Spoons · Season 1, Episode 15

Ricky and Edward in “Unfinished Business”

Ricky

I don't think this doctor and nurse were really in love. I mean, during the whole thing, she never stopped reading The Wall Street Journal!

Edward

I think you may have the idea. See, son, movies like that reduce lovemaking to purely physical, mechanical acts... and, in my opinion, they put down women... treat them like mindless sex objects.

Ricky

Why do we get these movies on our TV?

Edward

Well... it comes with the cable service. See, I ordered the cable service because I want to see... recent movies without commercials. And to my surprise, they... they also broadcast these skin flicks! I-I have no choice... if I want to watch a decent movie, then I just have to order these... these movies at the same time!... Are you buying this?

Ricky

Dad, you're a grownup... I guess you can watch whatever you want!

Edward

Yes, I can, son, but I don't choose to watch movies like this... and until you're old enough to make your own decisions, I won't allow you to watch 'em either. Is that understood?

Ricky

That's understood.

[Ricky and Edward hug]

Edward

Let's get some sleep.

Ricky

Dad? Thanks for talking to me about this.

Edward

Well, thanks for listening.

Ricky

And thanks for being so open.

Edward

Thanks for coming to me and telling me about it.

Ricky

And thanks for not grounding me!

Edward

Nice try, Rick.

Ricky

[sheepish grin] Thanks!

Edward

Uh, son, you forgot to give me back my keys.

Ricky

Would you believe I lost it?

Edward

Another nice try.

Ricky

Thanks!
