What?
Eugene, I need the truck.
We need to go into town and pick up some things.
You know we're out of flakes? Did you eat these?
Wasn't me.
What time did you stay out till?
I dunno.
You out with Amy again?
No. I ain't seen her no more.
Since when?
Since yesterday.
That's a new record for you. What's that, eight days?
Yeah.
She has a big nose.
Isn't that the same nose that she had eight days ago?
You know, I had never seen it in full daylight.
It's like she fell nose first into a nest of fire ants.
Dad, what's going on?
Trying to get something off the floor.
Here boys, have a seat right here.
It rolled out of my bags and under the seat
where I couldn't reach it.
Elliott, would you be good enough to get the spare bag out of the...
Out of the den there, please.
I don't remember what I was looking for,
but when I looked up this young man
and his friend were right in front of me.
Thank you, Elliott.
Right in front of me on their bicycles,
and I must have run them right off the road.
Can you imagine?
What did I do with that thing?
Maybe we should see a doctor.
Dad's the town doctor.
Let's start with a couple of these little white ones.
It's Tylenol, fellows, it's good for you.
We want to look for pockets, of course.
Bruises and cuts.
Make sure there aren't any splits.
Separated joints.
- And rule out jagged edges. - Bones, broken.
Ah, here they are.
My big ears, ah.
You two got names?
Nathan Harris. You can call me Nate.
Hey, Nathan.
Got your shirts in the washing machine.
Thought you boys might like something warm.
Thanks for going to that trouble,
but I actually don't drink coffee.
Coffee, that foul stuff?
Well, this here's Ovaltine
with a shot of brandy to spice it up a bit.
Something wrong with your drink?
No, no the drink's fine, it's just...
Nate, here, doesn't drink alcohol, coffee, or tea.
He doesn't smoke, swear, or chew.
Well, I'll get that stuff for you.
So, you must be from Utah.
Ah, Utah, no. Close though, Idaho.
Idaho's known for potatoes and polygamy.
Well, you got the potato part right.
Wait. Polygamy.
That's when you got 10 or 12 wives.
You never told me this.
No, there's no polygamists in Idaho.
I've got a picture of my family. I'll show you.
Here you go.
That's my mom and dad. He runs the town bowling alley.
And my sister Lindsey is the baby of the family,
and then Natalie on the end; she's my twin sister.
I mean, I'm 18 minutes older, so...
anyway that's Pleasant Valley, Idaho.
They look like real nice people, don't they?
You've never shown me a picture of your family.
You from Idaho too?
Me? No. I'm from New Jersey.
So, how the two of you get together here in Nacogdoches?
We're the bug guys. We sell pesticides.
Ah, Gene.
So, you a speaka Espanole?
I've picked a little from a Spanish exchange student we had.
My family hosts exchange students every year;
it's kind of an annual tradition.
Where'd the students come from this year?
Russia, I think. I'm not sure.
There was a mix-up and they called last minute
saying they couldn't make it.
Well, I'd like to hear more about this bug stuff of yours,
but if we don't get your bikes in the shop
you could be here till you're my age.
One of you boys help me load the bikes in the truck.
Yeah, yeah, Pop, I got ya.
Hey, Elliott. Kinda took over your room.
Oh, that ain't no big deal.
Sorry about that.
What are you reading over there?
The Bible.
Oh, get out of town.
I don't know much about that kind of thing.
What's Pleasant Valley like?
Man, it's beautiful.
It's pretty small but kind of famous.
USA Today once named it "America's Most Religious Community."
Oh, you don't say.
Yeah, guess it's because we've got so many churches.
Well, that sounds like the complete opposite of Nacogdoches.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
Nate, that picture that you showed us earlier
of your family?
That was really nice.
Thanks. I think so too.
Is your sister, the one that's your twin,
is she seeing anybody right now?
Why?
Oh, no reason really,
I just kind of always wondered if a pretty girl like her
would ever go out with a guy like me.
Natalie, she's a rough-and-tumble kind of girl.
She might be into
an outdoorsy kind of guy like yourself.
We have this family rule
where as long as we're living at home
we don't date anybody that doesn't believe like we do.
Okay, well I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to interrupt nothing.
I'm gonna get to my chores now.
Hey, no trouble. We'll talk again later.
Yeah sure we will, later.
Okay.
Eugene?
No, she's 18.
What?
Eugene, I have got it.
Fine, then you can keep it.
I can't date Natalie because I don't go to their church, right?
What you're talking about?
Nate's sister, Natalie, the one in the picture.
What is wrong with this conversation?
Elliott, you don't even know her.
Go back to sleep, you poop stain.
It's like a memory thing, Eugene.
When I saw her in that picture today
it was like remembering,
like going to the county fair and tasting cotton candy.
You know what I'm talking about?
Are you completely nuts? Hum?
What does cotton candy have to do with anything?
Cotton candy has to do with everything.
All right, forget the cotton candy,
but she is the prettiest thing I've ever seen.
Are you going to help me or not?
Help you, how?
I'm going to Idaho.
I'm serious.
I'm going and when I get into that house,
I'm going to be like family.
How are you going to become a member of that family?
Well, you're lucky I got this whole thing worked out.
We'll be their exchange students.
We show up.
Hold on, you just said "we" and I'm not going to Idaho.
It's for love.
Oh, come on.
You're in love with her?
No, you know what? Love rhymes with truck.
You don't know how to drive a stick,
so you need me and my truck.
All right, never mind Eugene, you can go back to sleep.
See how well you sleep knowing that I'd do this for you.
I'm sure you would.
No, that's all right.
There's going to be a lot of new girls though;
tall, tall redheads, slender brunettes,
long-legged blondes,
but go back to sleep, that's fine.
No, no. Hold on one second.
This Idaho?
Yep.
It's two hours, max; I looked it up.
All right. All right.
- Are you serious? - Yeah, I'm going.
You will not regret it. You mark my words.
Oh, man. I'm in love.
Ye-haw.
Quick, quick, quick.
Let me know when you want me to drive?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
About how much farther do you figure?
Oh it's about two or three hours.
Okay.
A day and a half, max.
What?
You said... Hold on a second.
You said it was two hours.
From two hours away it is.
Okay.
Are you sure this is it?
Yeah.
The phone books says... right there.
Russian accent.
Okay, and what if they speak Russian, what do we do?
Now is a fine time to think of that.
- You didn't think of that? - No, I didn't...
Yes, may I help you?
We are here.
I beg your pardon.
Ah, Mrs. Harris, yah?
Yes.
Okay, we are your exchange students.
Oh, oh welcome.
We didn't think you were going to make it.
Oh it's wonderful to see you.
Come in, come in.
How do you like America?
Lindsey, we have company!
We're here.
Since when do Russians sound like the Swedish chef?
Hey, I wasn't ready. It's all I could think of.
Besides, I don't think she really noticed, Gene.
Only because she was too excited to see us.
I know.
Wasn't that the weirdest thing you've ever seen?
Weird that two complete strangers show up on your front porch,
and all of a sudden they're unpacking in your bedroom.
You think that's weird?
Boys? It's almost time for dinner.
Okay. Answer her.
No, I can't man. You say it.
No, you just told me that my accent was bad.
- Just say something. - Com-ming.
- That's good. - Is that good?
That was great.
Come on.
My goodness, what a handsome pair you are.
Now, let's see, who's who?
Which one of you is Gustave?
(Both) -I am... - Oh, he is the Gustave.
I am Gustave. That is me, Gustave.
Gustave. Well then, you must be Geyza.
Must be.
Wait a minute.
Something's not quite right here.
I thought I told you to wash up for dinner.
Right around the corner.
There's soap on the counter.
Okay. Gustave.
Hi, my name is Gustave.
Nice to meet you, Gustave. What's my name again?
I don't remember.
Geyza. Your name is Geyza.
Geyza? What type of a pansy...
Don't you talk like that in front of these people.
What'd I say?
You were going to say something.
No, I wasn't!
Yes, you were!
I want to be Gustave. I'm Gustave.
Are you crazy?
We just got finished telling them that I'm Gustave.
Your name is Geyza.
Honey?
In the kitchen, dear.
Okay. Okay. We've got to get out.
We've got to get out there.
I'm Gustave, you're Geyza.
Okay.
It was such a surprise.
Honey, I'd like you to meet our guests.
This is Gustave.
Hello.
- And this is... - Geyza.
Pleasure.
It's nice to meet you, Mr. Harris.
Ah, "Mr. Harris," that sounds so formal.
Why don't you just call me "Brother Harris"?
It's a little tradition we have in our church.
And you can call me "Sister Harris."
Okay, Sister Harris. Brother Harris.
That is okay, fine.
Lit's so nice to have both of you finally here.
Why don't we sit down and start dinner.
I'll have dinner on soon.
And Lindsey, if you could help me with dinner, please.
So, hungry, huh?
Yes, I'm starved. Thank you.
I get it.
Hungary the country and hungry starving.
That's very clever.
Oh yes, Geyza, you, he's a joke maker.
We are from Hungary. Yes.
Russia.
Russia, right here, from Hungary, very quickly.
Oh yes, it's long trip from Hungary.
- Yes. - From Hungary.
Yah, that's where we're from.
How's it been since the curtain fell?
The curtain?
Much brighter.
I understand.
Honey, did you mention to them about church tomorrow?
Well, I thought we'd pray over the food,
and then we'd get to the schedule later.
Brothers.
Dear Lord, we are thankful that thou hast brought Gustave
and Gaylord... - Geyza.
...bless you, to our midst.
Keep feeling like we're missing something here, Elliott.
And I can't quite put my finger on it.
Oh yeah, wasn't there supposed to be a girl here?
Yeah, yeah there was.
Come on Gene, what was I supposed to say to her?
"Oh, that's a lovely tuna salad you got Mrs. Harris.
Oh, by the way, aren't you missing a daughter?"
Boys?
Uh, yeah?
We just came by to say goodnight.
Are you decent?
Uh, yes!
Oh boys, where are your pajamas?
Ah, we don't have pajamas with us, Mrs... ah, Sister Harris.
Oh, I see. I'll be right back.
What was that about?
I don't have skid marks do I?
Here boys. I borrowed these from Brother Harris.
Ah, yes?
Are you decent?
Yes we are.
Much better. Okay. Into bed.
That's okay, I'm fine.
This is fun, huh?
Night, night. I'll see you tomorrow.
Night, night to you.
Ah, Sister Harris?
Yes, Gustave.
I could not have but noticed the picture in the hallway.
You have other children besides Lindsey, yes?
Yes we do.
You do?
I have a son.
He's working down in Texas right now.
That's the southern part of the United States.
Ooh.
And also have a daughter, Natalie.
She's off to a big sports camp,
but you'll get to meet her next Thursday.
That sounds nice.
Do you need help saying your prayers?
No, no, I say mine. Geyza might.
Geyza?
No, good. All done.
- Night, night. - Night, night.
What, no warm milk and cookies?
Elliott, this is weird. Okay?
Come on, you're over reacting.
We've traveled hundreds and hundreds of miles to get here.
Okay, to find some girl and she's not even here.
Did you even think about that, smarty pants?
Course I did. Will you relax?
The hard part's already over.
You heard what she said.
Natalie is going to be here in a few days.
We've just got to lay low until then.
We will start our meeting out by reading from Proverbs 12:22.
"Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord.
But those who act faithfully are his delight."
And then on to Proverbs 19:5.
"A false witness will not go unpunished
and he who utters lies will not escape."
Proverbs 19:9. "A false witness..."
# Lord, I lift Your name on high #
# Lord, I love to sing Your praises #
# I'm so glad You're in my life #
# I'm so glad You came to save us ##
Please join me in prayer on page 836.
"Accept O Lord our thanks and praise
"for all that You have done for us.
"We thank you for the splendor of the whole creation,
"for the beauty of this world,
for the wonder of life and for the mystery of love."
Thank you.
Thank you, Brother and Sister Meyer.
How are ya?
Sister Harris. How are you?
Heard you have some visitors.
We do. This is Gustave and Geyza.
They're from Hungary.
So I heard. It's a pleasure, gentlemen.
I spent a little time myself a few years ago in Hungary.
I'm sorry, I didn't quite get that.
My language skills must have deteriorated over the years.
Are you okay? Are you okay?
- Do you need some water? - Water.
- He needs the water. - Some air went into my lungs.
Okay, yes. Nice to meet you.
This whole day has been one big blur.
I know.
I don't know how they keep it all straight.
Brother Who's it, Sister What's it.
I must have met...
Ah, yes?
Just came to say... oh, you're ready for prayers.
Don't forget your pajamas.
Okay.
I am so excited to have you boys with me today.
I found something I think you'll find quite interesting.
I've created several parables around bowling.
You're going to love this.
I love parables.
Each one of the pins represents one of the Ten Commandments.
I've heard you could tell the spirituality of a person
by how good a bowler they are.
Watch me.
Still having a little trouble with that one.
Yeah... Which ones are still standing?
Ah, keeping the Sabbath day holy, coveting, and bearing false witness.
Hey, hey, hey. Nobody's perfect.
Well boys, any questions?
Oh no, I think you cover everything there is to know.
Well, we've got one more stop to make,
and then it's home for dinner.
Honey.
- Oh hi, sweetie. - Hi.
How did your meeting go?
Just great. They had the best time.
Oh, I see you got a hair cut.
It looks good doesn't it?
It does.
Come on, boys.
Oh, how handsome you both look.
I've been getting my hair cut at the same place for 30 years.
Oh, we would never have guessed that thing.
And it's still only $4 bucks.
In your country that's a lot of money,
but here that's a great deal.
I don't know what to say.
You don't have to say anything. It's, it's our pleasure.
Now go get washed up.
Almost time for dinner, and later we have
a special treat for you.
Oh, a treat.
I can't go back to Nacogdoches like this, Elliott.
I don't know how much more of this I can take.
I can't believe how good those combs work.
I ought to pound you. I ought to pound you for this.
Is it my fault? You looked good before.
Natalie, hello.
Welcome back, we're here in Miami, Florida,
with our coverage of the extreme sport challenge.
Here with us now is Natalie Harris from Pleasant Valley, Idaho.
Here she comes.
Why would anyone male or female choose to do something so outrageous?
I think it all comes down to passion, you know.
It's about following your heart.
Everyone has something that drives them,
and once you figure out what that is
then nothing in its pursuit seems too outrageous.
Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad. Hi, Lindsey.
Go ahead and go down this middle, yellow line.
Okay, looking good on the yellow squares.
Oh boys, you look so handsome in your new clothes.
Hey, Mom, we're going to go to the park. Okay?
Don't be too long.
Okay.
What's wrong with that picture?
Boys, as soon as we finish here
we'll go downtown and get pictures in your new clothes.
It'll be a nice addition for our family
and it'll be a nice souvenir for you to take home.
How can you be so calm?
Have you looked at yourself?
Yeah.
Yeah, they don't mean anything by it.
They just want us to fit in.
That's what they want you to think, Elliott.
That's not what they're doing.
Okay. What are they doing?
It's a conspiracy.
Okay. Now, Elliot sit down.
Sit down and breathe.
Look, we've been through a lot, okay.
And it's really different here and it's freaking you out.
It's just called culture shock, though.
Happens to a lot of people when they move to other countries.
Look, you, you need a break.
You need to spend some time in familiar surroundings, that's what.
Yeah, we'll go out.
We'll go to a club, and we'll do some dancing.
We'll sit back, we'll relax, have a couple of drinks.
What do you say?
We can't go out. How are we gonna go out?
We just wait until everybody's asleep
and sneak out the window like we always done.
I like that.
Yes.
- Good night, boys. - Good night, to you.
- I'll get the light. - Okay.
You look better all ready, I must say.
I feel better.
Oh, there's no bar.
No, that guy's wearing penny loafers and a penny in them.
Who cleans this place, Mr. Rogers?
This town is nuts!
Yeah. Let's go somewhere else.
Naw. I think he's going the wrong way.
The gym is in the other direction?
Oh, I've seen this before.
I really don't want any trouble...
This isn't going down...
Trouble's what you got, boy.
Oh, I knew it was you! Oh, look who it is!
It is ultimate fighting champion man.
Oh man, those were some crazy days.
Ah, remember that guy? Ah, what was his name?
Monte.
Yeah, Monte. That was it.
We hear he is still in the hospital.
Oh, don't you remember, you grab his head, like this,
and smashed his head into yours like that.
We thought you killed the guy.
So, who are your friends?
We haven't really been introduced.
Oh, no. Well. Who are you guys?
We're nobody.
So then, looking for something?
Naw. We were just getting directions.
Any direction will work, boys.
Go on. Please.
Hey, thanks guys. I get that a lot cause of my size.
Yeah, you're big. No problem though.
We were just leaving.
I'm Paul.
Gustave. This is my brother, Geyza.
We're not from around these parts near from where you are from.
I'm headed over to the club over there.
Do you guys want to go?
Oh, this one?
- No. - No.
Geyza, he likes something a little more, how would you say it?
- Lively. - Yes, lively.
I know what you mean.
There's this place on the edge of town.
I've never been there myself,
but it's a little more what you have in mind.
Well, it sounds friendly.
Maybe we should go check it out.
Yes, maybe we should.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
I owe you big time.
I'm Paul. Paul Hamilton.
Is this more like it?
I just wish I'd brought my good boots.
Oh, come on.
Try and have a good time.
I would... uh oh...
One for you, one for me.
Two for you.
Set my mind on someone else, by all means.
You insist.
Let me get that for you ladies.
I'm worried about the boys, they're just not themselves today.
It's almost as if the light...
No. They said nothing was wrong,
but I've got a pretty good idea of what's going on.
Boys, there is absolutely no shame in being homesick.
- Yeah, we're homesick. - There is no shame...
So, Sister Harris has made a dinner from your country
for our dinner tonight.
I hope it's as good as they get at home.
What is it?
(speaking foreign language)
Did I pronounce that correctly?
Oh yeah, perfectly.
Geyza, in honor of this special event,
would you like to pray over the food?
Dear God, please don't let anything happen to us
while we are eating this food
that I'm sure will go down easy with lots and lots of ease.
That is all. Thank you.
Thank you for that, Geyza.
Hmm, this...
This is really something, isn't it?
Can you imagine having to eat this...
Ooh, I sure am thirsty tonight.
Ooh.
Serves you right, Elliott.
If I could stand up without getting dizzy I'd pound you.
What are you talking about?
You're the one that got crazy and had to get out.
Maybe we should get out. We should go.
No, I can't. Natalie gets here tomorrow.
I'm not going to quit now, I've come too far.
She ain't worth it.
Believe you me, she's worth it.
Oh no, not again. Ah.
Who are you?
Nice pajamas.
- Natalie? - Hi.
Natalie, we weren't expecting you home until tomorrow.
I was in a hurry to get home. I drove straight through.
Oh, I'm glad you're home safely.
Ah, who's the boy in our bathroom?
Oh, that's one of our exchange students.
They made it after all.
I'll introduce you to them tomorrow.
They're not feeling very well tonight.
A little homesick.
Now, come on, tell me all about your trip.
We saw you on television. The interview was wonderful!
Did you take plenty of pictures?
What's wrong with you? You run out of matches?
No. Worse.
You'll never believe who I ran into
in the whole wide...
Who?
Only the person I've come all this way to see.
You saw Natalie in the hallway?
I thought she wasn't coming home till tomorrow.
Yes, so did I but obviously she did.
Oh, you should have seen me. I just stood there, Gene.
I couldn't say a word...
Like a bass with my mouth wide open.
You're a bass in her daddy's pajamas.
Yeah, I know. Thank you very much.
Oh, what a great first impression!
Okay.
All right, it's perfect.
You look perfect. Let's go eat breakfast, Elliott.
She's going to be there, Gene.
I've got to make up for last night.
Well, then buy her a car.
That's real funny.
You know what?
Everything I've eaten in the past three days
came out last night.
I am starving. Let's go.
Okay. Okay. I'm coming.
Gustave?
Bye-bye, hon.
Hey, boys.
Oh boys, how are you feeling this morning?
Oh, it's very good. Much better. Thank you.
Oh good, I'm glad. I was worried about you.
Sorry about your shoes.
Natalie? Where are you off too?
I have to go help with the volleyball game this morning.
Well, first meet our guests.
This is Geyza.
- Hi. - Wow!
And Gustave.
Hi, I'm Natalie.
Hello, nice to meet you.
Didn't we meet last night?
Oh, technically yes, but not like this.
Okay, I have to go. I'll see you later.
Um-hum.
Bye, hon.
Boys, are you hungry for breakfast?
Oh yes, please. I am hungry.
At least I'll see her this afternoon, right?
Sure.
Gene, did she look at me funny or am I imaging that?
Well, define funny.
You know, like when she said that thing
about meeting me last night.
Yeah, I thought that was funny.
What did she mean by all that?
I don't know. What do you mean?
You know, like was she saying, "I remember you from last night."
Or, "I remember you, from last night. "
They're the same thing.
No, it isn't. Listen again.
Boys? Do you like volleyball?
This is great! Isn't this great?
This will give me a chance to really get to know her.
Talk to her.
You know what? I am ecstatic. I love volleyball.
Ain't nothing better in this world than volleyball.
Hey, small world.
Oh, it's Paul, isn't it?
Right, right.
You know each other?
Yeah, we met the other night.
No way.
Yeah, amazing.
Listen, I'm sorry I didn't invite you guys this morning.
I wasn't thinking.
Hey, you guys wanna play?
No. Not really.
We could watch.
Yeah.
That's good. We should... stay.
- What? - To what?
To play, you know. We've got all day.
We should, we should play.
Okay, let's go. Let's play.
Hey, guys this is my brother, Donald.
You can call him Dougie.
And this little lady here is Cindy.
Hi, nice to meet you.
Yeah, my name is Geyza, and this is my brother, Gustave.
Oh, how do you know Paul?
Oh, they helped me out the other night.
The night we met actually.
Okay. Let's get this game going, huh?
Let's do three on three.
Let's split up all the brothers.
Paul and Cindy you take pajama boy, and Dougie and I will take Geyza.
You guys serve.
You're bad. You're bad.
Yeah!
It was right to you.
Game point.
Gustave, where were you at?
Oh, man you guys are good.
Hey, I got some drinks in the cooler.
- You guys want some? - Yeah, I'm parched.
- Yeah, we'll have one. - Ah.
- I'll get it. - Let me help you.
I see I'm not the only one who likes a little competition.
Yes, I like to win, but...
- Maybe next time. - Yep.
So, you say you met Cindy
the night that we met, didn't you?
Yeah, yeah, at the club. You should have come. It was fun.
Yeah, yeah, I guess so.
Lucky you.
Ah, what does that mean?
I mean, Cindy, she's so hot.
Yeah, I guess.
Yeah, she just wanted to come hang out with us today.
Really?
So, you're not like, you know, hooked up or...
Me? No. Why?
Oh, I was just curious. She's so... she's so nice.
Hey, thanks.
This was very nice.
Oh, I always have the hardest time opening these.
I'm afraid I'm gonna break a nail.
I can open it for you.
Oh, can you open this for me?
Ah, sure.
- Thank you. - Sure.
Oh, these electrolyte drinks are awesome!
So good for you. Get the muscles back.
All right. Hey, I got to run guys.
Oh, Paul, can you drop me at work on your way?
Sure. Where do you gotta go?
Chloe's, I'm a stylist.
Of course you are.
Hey, catch you guys later.
Hey wait, are you guys coming tonight?
Um, I've got plans. Sorry, guys.
What's tonight?
It's the service project.
We're painting the Johnson's fence.
Are you coming?
No.
Dougie, your brother Paul is nice.
All the girls seem to like him.
Well, that was a good game, huh?
We'll catch you guys later.
Okay. Sporto, come on.
Bye.
Tell me I'm a genius.
Okay, Eugene.
I have come up with the perfect plan.
Oh, that sounds great. What is it?
You and I are going out.
I'm going over to Cindy's.
I know she's got this thing for Paul,
but I could change that.
Besides, Paul told me he doesn't even like her.
What have you got planned for me?
You are going to get off this bed, put on some deodorant,
and spend an entire evening alone with Natalie.
Come on, what's with you?
I don't think I made
the greatest impression earlier today.
She totally dug you.
Oh, it didn't feel that way to me.
Well, you've come all this way. Listen to this.
She's got that little service project thingy
that she's doing, right?
No one else is going to show up except for her.
Think about it.
You show up when no one else will.
That might work.
It will work! Come on. Let's go!
Thanks again for agreeing to do this, Pam.
I owe you big time.
Yeah, well, just remember this the next time I need to double.
You got it.
You almost ready?
- Five minutes. - Okay.
Come in.
What are you doing here?
Well, I thought I'd come by and see how everyone's doing?
This isn't a good time.
We're just getting ready to go out.
Oh, yeah. I understand. I should have called first.
But... oopsies you forgot to give me your number.
Why don't you give me your phone number,
and I'll call you later.
Okay, that would be nice, but don't know my number,
so, maybe I could come back tomorrow?
If you mess this up, I will kill you.
What?
I'm just kidding.
- Hi, Paul. - What's up?
Oh, hey look who it is...
Oh, are you coming with us tonight?
Come here.
I thought you said you weren't dating Cindy?
Well I am, but not really... I don't wanna be.
Okay, I... can you run that again?
Turns out Cindy has this roommate, Pam.
I like her, but I didn't know how to ask her out,
so Cindy's always hanging around and I asked her if she would,
if she and Pam would double with me and Dougie.
Oh.
'K guys, we're ready.
Pam, this is Dougie. Dougie, Pam.
Hi. Nice to meet you.
Well, we seem to have one extra person here.
Ah, this is a friend of mine, Geyza. He's visiting.
- Hi, Geyza. - Hi.
I'm just stopping by. I don't want to hold you kids up... so.
Right, we'd better get going.
Don't want miss our reservations.
No, don't want to do that, ah. Good-bye.
Hey, Paul, I'll talk to you later.
Sure thing, Geyza.
Geyza, it's time to go.
What?
You're very dedicated to your work.
Well, we want it to look good, don't we?
Course.
I'm glad you came.
I just can't believe nobody else did.
Well, maybe that is for the best.
Maybe.
You aren't anything like I expected.
Oh, the pajamas, huh?
Hey, it's out of my hands, you know.
No, it's not that.
What were you expecting?
I don't know.
Maybe someone more like your brother.
Oh, not that being like your brother's a bad thing.
No, it is.
Nom it's just that you're more... more personable.
Am I being too personable for you?
No. No, I like talking to you.
So, I ended up spilling it all over myself.
So, I swapped out the engine of my car the other day.
So Paul, what kind of hobbies do you have?
Um, pretty big into sports,
and I like to read in my spare time.
So impressive.
Excuse me, I'll be right back.
That is so polite. I love that in a guy.
I'll be back.
Have you always lived here in Idaho?
You seem so much more cosmopolitan.
Look Cindy, I'm really sorry.
Okay, I brought you here under false pretenses.
I asked you out because I was interested
in dating your roommate,
and I didn't know how to go about that.
Did I miss anything exciting?
You know I'm going to visit the little lady's room too
before our dinner arrives.
Thanks.
- Cindy! - You okay?
I'm so clumsy. I'm so embarrassed.
Oh, I think I did something to my ankle.
It won't take any weight.
Dougie, could you help me to the powder room?
Is there anything I can help you with?
I'll be okay.
All finished. Looks great.
You missed a spot.
I did? Where?
Right there.
You are so dead. Oh, you are so painted.
I feel like such a klutz.
I really think I should go get some ice on it.
It's starting to swell.
Dougie's been kind enough to offer to take me home.
Well, we should all go.
It's not necessary.
Are you sure?
Positive.
So, how are the vegetables?
They're good, not too soggy, but crisp.
They look good.
I hate to be of any more bother,
but could you stay and help me get situated?
Yeah.
Okay. Good.
Did I get it all?
Oh, you know what?
Almost, you just missed a spot.
So, ah, how's the steak?
This isn't steak.
You know, you may not be as strong or handsome as your brother,
but you have a lot of qualities that a woman like me
finds very irresistible.
Like what?
You're sensitive, perceptive.
- How's the..? - Good.
Check, please.
It looks like the service project was a success.
Yeah.
Come on, I'll get you a towel.
Were they mad at us?
No, don't worry.
Thank you.
Thanks for coming tonight. I had fun.
So did I.
Glad we got we got all that paint off the concrete cement.
I know, tell me about it.
Yeah, that was good.
So, do you spend all of your free time playing sports
and painting fences?
- No, I work too. - You do? - Yeah.
Oh, where do you work at?
At this running store in town.
Well, that's perfect place for you.
Thanks.
All right.
You know, there's this great little café next door.
Do you want to come by and meet me for lunch tomorrow?
You do like food, right?
I...
Don't worry, it's much better than my mom's.
No. I'm not saying that I love your mom's food;
it's that... I love it.
I'm just so surprised. I would...
Natalie I would love to come.
- Okay. - Okay.
Um, well why don't you
just pick me up at work tomorrow at noon.
I will not be late.
Yes. I will be there at noon.
Not one minute later.
All right. I'm going to go change.
Yeah, just ask my mom where it is.
Okay. I will.
You okay?
It's just Cindy.
She's not at all what I thought she'd be.
She started out the night with Paul and then ended up with Dougie.
Well, that sounds a little like somebody I know.
Yeah, we're... we're perfect for each other.
All right, listen,
if you get tied up don't worry about it;
I can find my way home.
Uh-huh.
All right. Let's go.
Geyza.
Hey, you have good memory.
Some things are easy. Come on in.
Thank you.
You can go ahead and sit down.
So, is Cindy here?
You know, you just missed her. She had to work today.
Can I get you anything to drink?
No, I'm fine, thank you.
So, how long have you known Cindy?
I'll be honest, I barely know her,
but well, I'd like to get to know her.
I see.
I don't want to discourage you,
but she can be a little hard to get to know,
a little moody at times.
Yes, I already know that.
I've encountered that, so I'm fine.
If you don't mind a little advice,
she likes fancy restaurants, intellectual conversation,
and education is very, very important to her.
Wow, not very well-educated 'cause I'm from the country.
You seem plenty smart to me.
I would walk into one of those places
and not know the first thing to do.
What you could use is someone to bring you up to speed
on some of the rules.
Give you some pointers.
This is perfect idea. Yeah!
I just... where would I go?
I don't know where - a place like that.
I don't know.
Maybe I could go on the internet.
Or I could help you.
You would?
If you wanted.
You can't tell her either what we're doing, you...
No, I wouldn't say a word.
Okay!
So what do we do?
Hi. Come on in.
Ah, you're working on your scrapbook?
Yeah, I'm just putting together some photos.
- Oh, that is cute. - Yeah.
We went fishing and he got the hook stuck in his belt buckle.
A cute picture of you.
You've been spending a lot of time with Gustave lately.
I know. He's just so... I don't know...
he's just so different from the boys from around here.
Honey, that's because he's not from around here.
I know, I mean, I can just be myself around him.
He's... he's so real and genuine.
I never seen you quite so dedicated
to making one of our exchange students feel so comfortable.
Mom.
What'd I say?
Have you thought what you're going to do
when it's time for him to leave?
Yeah, I have actually.
And I'm not looking forward to it.
So, how many different religions are there in this Pleasant Valley?
We have a little of everyone.
Let's see, there's Baptists, Lutherans, Community of Christ,
Amish, Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses,
Seventh Day Adventists, Pentecostal, Episcopalian,
Catholic, Roman Catholic, a few Quakers, and some Jews.
That's every religion in the world, right?
Well, God's important to everyone here.
I can tell that he is important to you.
You see where I come from in my hometown,
God is... insignificant.
What?
I'm just amazed that this is your first time in America.
Your vocabulary, it's... it's practically better than mine.
It's probably from talking way too much.
Hey, how did you learn English?
Well, the rock and roll.
Really?
Yeah, sure, I...
it's amazing the things you can learn from the songs.
Yeah.
Natalie, I... ah,
I think there is something I should tell you.
Fore!
Sorry, guess I should yell that before I throw.
That would be nice.
Hey, it's dinner time for you two, Mom said.
Let's go.
Good. Come on. I'm starved.
What are you doing?
Get back in the car.
Go around back.
I told you never to pick me up in the front.
I just got here early. I thought I'd save you the walk.
You don't want me to get in trouble, do you?
No, of course not.
Then just pick me up in the back like we agreed.
- Okay. - Okay.
So, how was your day?
I'm just so tired of working and getting nowhere.
I just want to open my own little shop,
spend my evenings at home with the right guy.
Gross.
Well, if I thought you were serious, I could help out.
Where would you find that kind of money?
Well, I've got it already. I kind of...
I mean, my mom left us some things.
So, my brother being older,
it's his really, but it's just a technicality.
That's so exciting!
I'm at the bank right now.
I got the key from my brother when he wasn't looking.
No, I'm looking at it right now.
No, there's too many people here right now,
I gotta... I gotta go.
All right. Gotta go. Gotta go.
Give me a hug.
Airplane landing.
Another bagel?
Oh no, if I have another one I'm going to puke.
Oh, that is disgusting.
Bye-bye, honey.
# Down to the river I walk # Hey can I have a bagel?
- Here, hon. - Thank you.
# Where my love waits for me #
What are you listening to?
"I Can Smell the Flowers." It's a Mexican song.
Trying to brush up on my Spanish.
Hear it's a great way to learn a second language.
What kind of a bonehead idea is that?
It's a proven study technique isn't it, Geyza?
Is possible.
# Until his soul flies away #
No. It is a sun.
The "sol" means the sun, in Spanish.
Geyza, you know Spanish too?
Um, language school.
That's pretty impressive, isn't it kids?
Yeah. Yeah, it is.
A language school, huh?
Yeah, I've got to go.
Yeah, I've got to go too, bye.
So, what's with you?
I like Natalie, Gene.
I know you like Natalie, Elliott.
No you don't.
I mean I really like her.
And?
What do you mean "and"?
I've been lying to her this whole time.
So what are you going to do about it?
I'm going to tell her.
Oh, no you're not going to tell her.
I can't go on living a lie.
Oh, Elliott.
Besides, when are you going to come clean to Pam?
What?
Pam? What are you talking about?
Well, you're awfully happy when you're around her.
Well, maybe I'm happy
because I think I'm going to get with Cindy.
You are something else.
What Pam sees in you I have no idea.
Yeah, okay, Pam's all right.
She's the only girl
I've never heard you talk about without once mentioning her looks.
Well, maybe I'm using Pam to get to Cindy.
Oh. Pam, wait!
Wait a minute. What is wrong?
I heard what you said.
What did I say?
That you're using me to get to Cindy.
No, oh, no I didn't mean that.
Yes, you did.
You wouldn't of said it if you didn't mean it.
I need a coffee.
Come on, let's go.
Oh, no.
Dougie!
Oh, hey. Hi.
Where have you been, buddy?
Been looking everywhere for you.
Come on.
Did you get it?
Yeah.
No, I got it, I got it, but I kind of also lost it.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'll get it. I can find it.
I can.
Oh.
I've gotta go, okay? I've gotta go. I've gotta go.
Let's try this place.
Yeah. Fine. Whatever.
Hold it.
Yeah!
I've gotta stitch.
Why did he take my truck?
Come on. Come on. Come on.
- Okay. - Come on.
Hurry. Hurry fast! Thank you, officer.
Whose is this?
It's a long story.
Do you got it?
Yeah, I got it.
Isn't that Cindy right there?
Yeah.
Where is it?
It's over here, but there's a bit of a complication.
Who's she?
But I got it though. I got it.
It's right here.
Let's see.
Look, what are we going to do about her?
What the...
What can we do about her?
Just go talk to her.
Go get her!
Now listen... you didn't...
See this... We're not... This didn't really happen, okay?
Else you'll be in big, big trouble,
and I'll tell people about it
and you'll get in trouble.
Why that little... she switched rings.
All right, just come here.
Don't tell anybody, got it?
Come on.
Who made the call?
I did, officer.
That's him! And the little one's helping him.
Come here.
They were trying to sell me this.
He said he stole it from his brother.
That's a lie. She made me do it.
What about this one here, Lieutenant?
Yeah, we're taking them all in.
All right.
Wait!
Don't shoot us! Don't shoot us, please!
I've got him! I've got him!
Put your hands up, now.
Let's go! Come on!
Around the rock! Around the rock!
Arms up in the air.
Come here.
Lieutenant, I know these two.
They're just visiting here in town.
They don't even speak English that well.
I'm sure they don't even know what's going on.
That true?
You kids no hablo Englecio?
Well, it's true that we're from out of town,
but we speak English pretty well.
I knew it.
Well, you're smart.
You know, why do I feel
like somebody from Mississippi watching Jeopardy?
I've got no clue what's going on here.
But we're all going to find out, so let's go.
Ah, Lieutenant,
whatever it is you've got there in your hand,
we reckon you'll find the real thing in her purse.
I...
Let me see your purse.
This?
All right, you know what?
We are all gonna go down to the precinct now.
Let's go. Come on.
Hey, you too.
Let's go.
You too Skippy, let's go.
Come on.
...associating even remotely with these guys?
Dad?
Lindsey, are you all right?
- I'm fine. - Sure? - Um-hum.
Hi, I'm Ted Harris.
Can you tell me what's going on here?
Well, I'll leave the explanations
up to your daughter and Frodo and Bilbo here,
but if you have any questions later you can give me a call.
- Can they go now? - They're all yours.
I'm releasing them into your custody.
Come on, boys.
Looks like I'm not the only one who wasn't what they appeared to be.
Come on, let's go.
Gustave? What was that all about?
We, uh... we didn't mean to hurt anybody.
So, how'd it go?
A little bit better than I expected.
You should have been there.
Yeah, I don't think I'm quite ready for that.
It was a show, and it turns out
Cindy she worked for the insurance company
that wrote the original policy on the diamond ring.
That explains a few things, don't it?
Yeah, it does.
Ah man, she had everything.
She had files and the appraisal.
She even had the photocopy of the will
saying that it was Paul's.
Was she there?
Cindy?
Yeah, she was there.
You know what, you're going to have to face it.
You are testifying tomorrow.
I know.
You know what?
If this is love, I'm sure it will all work out.
Elliott.
Elliott?
Are you with us?
I'm sorry. What was the question?
Counselor, repeat the question.
Elliott, could you tell the court
what happened that night with Miss Stoddard?
Donald Timothy Hamilton, you have been found guilty
on one count of possession of stolen property.
This is a very serious offense,
punishable by up to five years in a minimum security facility;
however, in deference to your brother's request for leniency,
this court sentences you to six months of probation
and the additional stipulation
that you will have no further association
with your co-defendant, Miss Stoddard.
Don't worry Cindy, I'll appeal.
I'll convict insanity!
The law can't keep us apart!
I will find you!
Cindy Rae Stoddard, having been found guilty
on one count of receiving stolen property,
I hereby sentence you to fourteen months
in a state correctional facility.
This court is adjourned.
So, wow!
Yeah, wow!
That was really nice of you to speak up for your brother.
Ah, you know, underneath it all he's a, he's a really good guy.
Not a lot of brothers would have been so understanding.
You're a pretty good guy yourself.
Really?
So, you think maybe there's a chance that...
No.
I... I didn't think so.
Well, it looks like somebody needs to talk to us.
I'm Ted Harris.
I'm Elliott Buddles.
I'm Eugene Buddles, sir.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
It's nice to meet you.
Honey, what do you think about inviting the boys over
for a Hungarian dinner?
Maybe pizza?
Yeah, that'd be good.
Order it from somewhere else.
Well, we'll see you around, boys.
May I have a second?
Make it quick.
Win some. Lose some.
You know, I spent the last little while
readying myself for you.
But then I realized it wasn't worth it.
How do you figure?
When you get out, you need to clean yourself up and take some time.
Cause right now
all you got going for you is your looks.
You need more than that.
Time's up.
Pam! Why in such a hurry?
So, are you going back to Texas now?
Unless I have a reason to stay.
Do you?
I'd like to think so.
Well, I guess being the backup plan
wouldn't be all that bad.
You know you didn't have to do much to win me over.
You didn't fool anybody, either.
And like you did with your phony accent?
What? This is good accent!
How long did you know?
From when we first met.
And you didn't tell anybody?
No, I thought it was cute.
Hmm. Cute's good, right?
Just one little one?
You gotta earn it.
You've got my number.
So, are you okay?
I just want to know one thing.
Why?
I've always thought of myself as pretty clever.
I go after things using my wits.
Natalie, when your brother showed me your picture,
I don't know, something inside me came alive.
And you were the only thing that I could think of.
I know it sounds corny, but...
it wasn't about thinking or logic
or even consequences.
For the first time it wasn't about
what I could get away with.
Natalie, I just...
I just followed my heart and it brought me here to you.
And even if everything else I did was wrong,
I know... I know that that part of it was right.
Well, I came to get an explanation,
and then I was gonna say good-bye.
You was?
Was.
Okay, and now?
Then I think I'm going to have to give this some more thought.
Or maybe just go with my heart.
You saying what I think you're saying?
Okay. Uh... Can I call you then?
Only if you promise to use your real accent.
Oh, you have my word pretty lady; I guarantee it.
Okay.
I'll just see you later.
All right. Bye.
Bye.
You know what?
I'm thinking about staying.
I know, maybe do a little penance.
Besides, I really like Pam.
What about you?
Yeah, I got a little bit of making up of my own to do.
