[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
Mmm-hmm. Mmm.
Mmm-hmm.
You think?
Yeah. Yeah. Al, here's your problem right here.
What?
Car doesn't work.
It took two of you an hour to figure that out?
Well, we didn't have the proper tools.
Yeah, like brains.
All right, tow truck guy should be here any minute.
All right, when he gets here,
you chicks just let me handle this, all right?
Cars are a guy thing.
Oh, really?
Kinda like saying "pull my finger,"
then laughing about it for a half hour?
Okay, he's here.
Now remember, you chicks keep quiet, all right?
Let me handle this man to man.
Hi, I'm Sam.
What seems to be the problem?
Um, uh...
[STAMMERING]
You'll have to excuse him.
He was born without a tongue.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
Well, everything here looks pretty darn good.
Tell me about it.
Huh? What?
I mean, uh, the engine.
Uh, checked it out myself.
Everything seemed to be fully operational.
I'm gonna try and start it.
I'm telling you this baby's dead.
I turned the key myself. Didn't even make a sound.
[ENGINE REVS]
Nice diagnosis, dip stick.
Okay, all fixed.
So what was it?
Uh, the pistons, the starter, the tranny?
You had it in reverse instead of park.
You see, it was a transmission problem.
Hey, it's an easy mistake to make.
Uh, listen, do you mind if I use your phone?
I need to make a call about some Packers tickets
I'm supposed to pick up.
You're a Packers fan?
What, are you kidding me? I never miss a game.
Wow. All right, that's really cool.
Yeah, there's a phone in the kitchen. Help yourself.
-Thanks. -Right through there.
My gosh, that is the most incredible woman I have ever met.
She's into cars, she loves sports.
Oh, my God. If she likes the Three Stooges, I'm gonna marry her.
What are you waiting for, man?
Why don't you ask her out?
Come on. Did you see those jeans?
They were so tight.
They were just totally inappropriate for the work environment.
I'm just disgusted, quite frankly.
Uh, thanks for the phone.
Sure. Hey, Sam, listen.
You know, I was wondering, if you're not that busy,
and you might want to, um, you know, maybe...
You wanna go to the Packers game with me tomorrow?
-Sure. -Pick you up at six.
-Great. -Uh, you got a name?
Yeah.
Do you wanna tell me what it is?
Um, it's um, it's...
[COUGHS] JT.
Um, JT. JT. That's my name.
That's my name. JT.

and offered me a job singing in his new video in Chicago.
Jimmy Ray Johnson? Oh, that's the best news I've ever heard.
Who's Jimmy Ray Johnson?
Are you kidding, honey?
Jimmy Ray Johnson is just about
the biggest country music star in America.
That's right, and he said he's gonna make me a star too.
Oh, Karen, Karen, before you do the video, let me do your hair.
You know, I used to do Dolly Parton's hair.
Wow. You know Dolly Parton?
No, I just did her hair.
A guy named Billy Bob used to bring it to the salon
in the back of a Chevy pickup.
Very nice lady. Very nice.

You out there, Sam?
Sam here. What's up, Smitty?
Yeah, I know it's your night off,
but we got a dead battery over on Cherokee Road.
You wanna take it?
Sorry, no can do. I'm with my boyfriend.
Ooh, lucky guy, huh? I'll try Johnson.
Bye, Smitty.
You know, you didn't have to turn down work for me.
Gee, I was kind of hoping the evening wasn't over.
Well, I'd invite you to my house,
but there's, like, ten people in there
and a crazy French dude running around, so...
Wanna go back to my place and listen to some music?
Wow. That'd be great, yeah.
[CAR STARTING]
[UPBEAT INSTRUMENTAL ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]
Voila. Chocolate souffle.
Oh, coolio. You made us dessert for breakfast?
Oh, this is not dessert.
This is a hot, nutritious meal
made from eggs, milk, wheat,
and enough sugar to give Willy Wonka a major buzz.
Hey, guys, has anyone seen JT?
Nope. So far it's been a fabulous morning.
I'm kinda worried about him.
He never came home last night.
Last time I saw him he was going out on a date with Sam.
You don't think he stayed out all night with her, do you?
[CHUCKLES]
Oh, man, if Frank finds out, he's gonna kill JT.
Ha! Let me tell him. Let me tell him.
Now...
Now, listen, little Melrose Place people.
We do not want to jump to conclusions
about what JT did or did not do, okay?
We do not have all the facts.
I mean, all we know is that he's a normal, 19-year-old man,
and he went out with a beautiful woman,
and he stayed out all night.
Okay, maybe we do have all the facts.
Morning.
JT, this man is my hero!
Damn!
You, you the man. You the man.
You the man! You the man! You the man.
I'm gonna go upstairs and get some sleep.
He's gonna go upstairs and get some sleep.
You know what that means.
That means that he did not get any sleep last night!
-JT, you're the man! -Rich. Rich.
Rich, come over here.
Don't take this the wrong way.
I mean it with love. But you're a pig.
Now sit down and drink your...
[DOORBELL RINGS]
I'll get it.
I go get the door, I fix you breakfast.
Why don't you get me a little black and white outfit and a feather duster?
I'll be your little French maid.
-Hi. -Hello.
Whatever you're here to fix, I'm sure glad it's broke.
I'm Sam, JT's girlfriend.
Oh, well, in that case, forgive my cheesy pickup line.
Won't you come in?
I, of course, am Jean-Luc Rieupeyroux.
Oh, yeah, JT talks about you all the time.
Well, of course he does. Won't you sit down?
I just came by to see if he's okay.
Well, you would know more about that than I would.
Why?
Well, uh, I mean, the two of you
did, uh, you know, spend the night together,
didn't you?
No, we didn't.
Uh-oh.
Look, you're his friend.
Maybe you can tell me what's going on.
We had a great date last night
and we decided to go back to my place.
And then the minute I put my arms around him to kiss him,
he got real nervous, made up some excuse, and just left.
Well, I'll be a monkey uncle.
I got to talk to that boy.
Oh, that would be great,
because I really care about JT,
and I want this relationship to work out.
Oh, okay, don't worry about anything.
Look, you just go home and relax.
Do you do a hot-oil treatment?
-Yeah. -Good.
Then do your nails, and leave everything to Jean-Luc Rieupeyroux.
-Really? -Absolutely.
Because I know exactly what's going on.
What in the name of Jerry H. Lewis is going on?
Hey, JT, how's it going?
It's going.
Is there, uh, anything on your mind?
Like what?
I don't know. Like anything.
You know, whatever.
A movie that you've seen or, uh, your schoolwork
or your love life or sports or...
Your love life? I mean, it's whatever...
Whatever you want.
You know, you choose.
Well, there's nothing to talk about.
I went out on a date with Sam,
stayed out all night, connect the dots.
Well, I just spoke with Sam,
and, uh, she said that your dots do not connect at all.
Sam was here?
JT, you know what? You can talk to me.
And you'll feel better.
Man, I acted like such a jerk.
I spent all last night walking around,
just trying to figure out why I bailed on Sam.
I mean, she's perfect.
She's smart, and she's funny, and she's beautiful.
She's got beautiful hair and great eyes, and...
Oh, you got to love a woman that can handle a torque wrench.
You know what the weirdest part about this whole thing is?
I'm, like, crazy about this girl.
I've never felt this way about anybody before.
But every time I thought about kissing her,
I get this really weird feeling in my stomach.
Oh, JT, you know what it is?
You're...
You're just afraid.
Afraid of a girl?
No. No, no, no, you're not afraid of a girl,
but you're...
You're afraid of love.
-No way. -Ouiway.
Being in love is a very, very scary thing,
because, you know, when you're with a woman that you love,
it's no longer about swapping spit.
It's about swapping hearts.
So why would I be afraid of that?
Because to be in love
is to be totally emotionally vulnerable.
Okay? You are with a woman, you're going to let her look into your eyes.
She can see your secrets.
She can see who you are.
She can see your soul.
Wow. You're right.
I gotta get out of this relationship.
No, no, no, no. No, hey, hey, hey.
What? You going to run away just because you're scared?
You don't do that.
I mean, it's like skydiving. Right?
You have to leap, okay?
And maybe there's a small chance
that your parachute will not open
and, you know, you plummet to a terrifying death
on the highway with blood everywhere...
You're right. I gotta get out of this relationship.
No, no, but the other thing...
The other thing is that there's a better chance,
you know, that the parachute will open like a big, fluffy cloud,
and will rock you gently to the Earth
where your love is waiting for you with open arms.
Okay, so you're saying
the reason I bailed on Sam last night
is because I may actually be falling in love with her?
And kissing somebody you care about can be a little scary?
Absolutely.
Man. Life was a lot easier when I was just a horn dog.
I'm telling ya, I know somebody in the band, okay?
It's just for security reasons.
Well, gee, honey, I...
Oh, my goodness. Look at this.
This is where it all happens, huh?
Really?
Oh, Carol, look at this guitar.
Oh...
[GUITAR STRUMMING]
Hey.
[MIMICKING ROCK STAR]
Frank, would you put down the guitar?
Come on, nobody's gonna care.
MAN: [OVER PA SYSTEM] Sir, put the guitar down.
I was, uh, just, uh, tuning it.
Uh, Mom, Frank, I want you to meet Jimmy Ray Johnson.
Jimmy Ray, this is Frank and Carol Lambert.
Hi.
Oh, gee, we are just so happy to meet you.
[LAUGHING]
Hi.
It's so nice of you to put Karen in your video.
Oh, I'm happy to have her. She's got a lot of talent.
Mmm, well, I don't wanna brag,
but I guess she kinda gets it from me, you know?
I used to do a little singing myself.
In fact, if you wanted to do a mother-daughter duet,
you know, like The Judds, or...
Mother.
Sorry.
This is your thing.
I don't wanna interfere or anything.
Frank and I'll just go over here and get some coffee, huh?
Would you like some coffee?
♪ Would you like some cream In your coffee?
♪ Or would you like to have it black? ♪
Mom.
Okay, everybody, we're ready to go.
Let's try one.
Honey, I thought you were good.
JIMMY: Yeah, let's do this thing, all right?
Now, you remember, Karen,
prettier you dance, more CDs we sell.
Just go for it, honey, all right?

Of course your mic is dead, darlin'.
This is the way we always do it.
See, you just stand there, uh, look sexy
and pretend to sing, okay?
Now, we'll dub in the real singer's voice
when we get back to Nashville.
But I'm a really good singer.
I know, I know, you got a sweet, little voice,
but listen, on my tunes, I only use professionals.
Now, you wanna stay in on this video,
you just stand there and look good, all right?
Otherwise, you can take a walk.
But you'd be out of a job.
You know something?
I'd rather spend the rest of my life
singing in the shower
than be in a video with a miserable phony like you.
Come on, Karen, let's get out of here.
You don't need this sleaze bag.
Yeah, you know, in the words of a real country artist,
you can take this job and shove it.
Well, thanks for taking me to Maria's.
That was the best fettuccine I've ever had.
Sure. I had to take you somewhere special.
After all, it is our ten-day anniversary.
Do you mind if I come in?
Sure. Yeah, come on in.
Have a seat.
Well, I guess everybody's asleep already.
