00:07If you're tired of peace and quiet, and the normal nine-to-five, drop by and meet the family. We're
00:15in constant overdrive. We rock, we swing. But what we do better than anything is...
00:23Roar! It's our claim to fame. Roar! It's our middle name. Roar! Life is never tame when you know how
00:31to roar. Once you learn to do it, there's nothing to it. Jump back and cross your fingers when the
00:40bird begins to fly. We get a little rowdy way before the ink is dry.
00:46We rock, we swing. But what we do better than anything is...
00:52Roar! It's our claim to fame. Roar! It's our middle name. Roar! Life is never tame when you know how
01:00to roar.
01:01Roar! We're just getting started. Watch out! We're lying-hearted. Watch out!
01:14Beautiful! Perfect! Baby, Leo, you're great! Nobody can roar like Leo Lyonard. Nobody!
01:20All right, come on. Let's give Leo a much-deserved hand.
01:25Ah, thanks, guys. Thank you. And I couldn't do it without you.
01:29It's been a long week. I'll see you all on Monday.
01:32Not so fast. Let's do it one more time. Like you mean it.
01:36One more time? My pleasure.
01:42Lion War, take 14. And action!
01:53That's a wrap!
01:59Here comes Eagle Eye Dorothy, a great make-up lady in her day.
02:03But, whoa, her vision is not what it used to be.
02:05Be a nice deal.
02:08Who does he think he is? Making you do that roar 14 times?
02:15Your father taught you that roar before you could even speak.
02:19You don't need some hotshot little director telling you how to do it.
02:25You're Leo Lyonheart! You deserve respect!
02:29Dorothy, you're supposed to remove my make-up, not my cheekbones.
02:34Quit complaining, you big baby!
02:36Now, where was I?
02:39You were saying I deserve respect.
02:41Darn right!
02:43You are the finest, most decent, kind of lion I've ever known.
02:46And anyone who can't see that is blind!
02:49Um, speaking of blind, Dorothy, have you ever considered getting your eyes checked?
02:54Why? My vision is as sharp as it was when I started with your father 43 years ago.
03:01There! You're all done!
03:05Here comes Judy!
03:08Woo-haw!
03:10Can I please have some quiet?
03:26This lion ain't lying when he says he loves you!
03:30How can you talk on the phone when-
03:33Hey! Who unplugged me?
03:35How am I supposed to talk on the phone with you playing that stupid guitar?
03:40You've got the worst voice I've ever heard!
03:43What do you know about rock and roll?
03:46Oh, you care about our horses.
03:47I know that if I rode a horse like you sing, I'd be kicked out of the riding club.
03:51At least then we wouldn't have to hear about your snobby friend all the time.
03:55They're not snobs. They can't help it if they're better than everyone else.
04:02Spider!
04:06Judy, spiders are more afraid of us than we are of-
04:13Why are girls always afraid of spiders?
04:21What happened?
04:23Major spider, Mom. Looks carnivorous.
04:26Oh, that's just Larry.
04:29He has a name?
04:31Larry and Uncle Marvin performed together at the circus.
04:35I'm watching him while Marvin takes a year off.
04:37Don't worry, I'll get him down.
04:40It sure comes in handy having a mom who used to be in the circus.
04:43As long as your friends don't find out about it.
04:48Hello, dear. When did you get home?
04:51Just now.
04:52I'll be right back. I have to put Larry away.
04:56Larry?
04:56Don't ask, Dad.
05:05Hi there, my little acrobat. Have you been a good girl today?
05:09Ask me something else.
05:11Um, were you better than yesterday?
05:14Gotta go.
05:16Oh, right. Cool hair, Dad.
05:19Do you think Dorothy could do that to my hair when I join a rock band?
05:23Um, why don't you finish third grade, before you join a rock band, Spencer?
05:28Hi, Daddy.
05:29Hello, Kate.
05:30Tell me, how was your riding lesson?
05:32The best.
05:33Caroline Bradley let me ride her new horse.
05:36It was the first time she ever really talked to me.
05:39Who? Caroline? Or the horse?
05:42Oh, Daddy.
05:45Huh.
05:47Leo, you promised you'd spend this weekend doing father-son things with Spencer.
05:52I did?
05:53Yes, you did.
05:54You said you want to show him there's more to life than his guitar.
05:58He's really been looking forward to it.
06:00I have?
06:01Yes, you have.
06:03You said you never get to spend enough time with your dad.
06:07Well, then, father and son weekend it is, Vince.
06:12And I know exactly what we'll do.
06:33Is this the only activity you could come up with, Leo?
06:36It's just the one I do best.
06:38I'm sure that you can think of something a little more exciting to do with Spencer.
06:45Hmm.
06:47We're going to do a... puzzle?
06:51Yippie skippie.
06:52Not just any puzzle. Look at the picture.
06:55Do you think that angle makes my nose look too big?
06:58Can't I just play the guitar while you do the puzzle?
07:01No. The idea is for us to do something together.
07:06Well, it took us all afternoon.
07:08But I think we finally found something to do together.
07:11I don't know, Dad.
07:12It's kind of boring just standing here holding this string.
07:16You know, Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity when he was flying a kite in the rain.
07:20What if he'd said, it's too boring?
07:22You wouldn't be able to plug in that electric guitar of yours.
07:25Speaking of my guitar...
07:27No. You cannot.
07:38Cool.
07:39That's the first positive thing you've said all day.
07:41Hmm.
07:45You can do it.
07:47You can do it!
07:58Yeah!
08:01Woo!
08:04To the...
08:06Right...
08:06Ow!
08:07Oh, no!
08:11Oh, Judy, isn't it nice to see them having fun together?
08:15Mom! Mom! Caroline Bradley just called and invited me to her party next Friday night.
08:20I'm so excited.
08:22That's great, honey. Which one is she?
08:25The most popular girl in the riding club.
08:28Everyone wants to be her friend.
08:30Her family has a stable right on their property.
08:32And guess what, Mom? She even has her own horse.
08:38I just had a great idea. Invite Caroline and some of the others to come over tomorrow.
08:43Dad and Spencer are doing their father-son thing, so it'll be just us girls.
08:48Uh, tomorrow's not good. They're all busy.
08:51All of them?
08:53Yeah. They're all going to the dentist.
08:57Really? Strange that they would all have dentist appointments on the same day.
09:04Especially Sunday.
09:05That's because they all have the same dentist.
09:08And she only works on Sundays because the rest of the week she's... an astronaut.
09:12An astronaut dentist.
09:15How unusual.
09:17Well, then let's invite your friends over another day.
09:19No. They're busy then, too.
09:22I haven't even said what day yet.
09:25Uh, I just remembered there's some homework I forgot to do.
09:28I gotta go.
09:31Something's fishy here.
09:33Where's the fishy?
09:35There's no fishy, Judy.
09:37That's just an expression that means something's not right.
09:41Ah, Judy!
09:44Oops, I think I did something fishy.
09:4848, 49, 50!
09:53Ready or not, here I come!
09:56Now, where could Judy be hiding?
10:04Is she behind the curtains?
10:07No.
10:08Is she under the sofa?
10:12No.
10:16Is she in the closet?
10:19No.
10:21No.
10:32Uh-oh.
10:42Judy, how many times have I told you not to hide in my chair?
10:47I think you have to tell me one more time.
10:52Gotcha!
10:55Leo, where is Spencer?
10:57He, um, went up to his room.
10:59We needed a little break from all the fun we've been having.
11:04Something fishy.
11:06It sure is.
11:08Oh, who am I kidding?
11:09It's not going well at all.
11:10I can't seem to find anything Spencer wants to do.
11:15I'm beginning to think it's hopeless.
11:17Hopeless?
11:18What if your father had given up trying to find things to do with you?
11:22I would have had a much happier childhood.
11:25No, you wouldn't have.
11:27I know you treasure those days you spent with Leo Sr., no matter how miserable they were.
11:32Yes.
11:34I suppose you're right.
11:35I'll just have to keep trying.
11:38Spencer!
11:38Where are you?
11:44What do you think you're doing?
11:46Hiding for Dad.
11:47Don't tell him I'm in here.
11:48I'm not going to lie to Dad.
11:50Okay, then, uh, close your eyes while I hide and you can tell him you don't know where I am.
11:55Technically, you'd be telling the truth.
11:57Hey, Spencer!
11:59Please!
12:00Um, okay.
12:07Have you seen Spencer, Kate?
12:09He's not in his room.
12:11I can honestly say I'm not sure where he is.
12:17Exactly.
12:25Well, if you see him, tell him I'm looking for him.
12:28I will, Dad.
12:31That was a close call.
12:33Thanks.
12:34Dad asked me to tell you he's looking for you.
12:37Boy, I wish this weekend was over.
12:39I feel like I'm at day camp and Dad's this really bad counselor.
12:44At least you don't have Mom bugging you to bring your friends home to meet her.
12:48Why don't you want your friends to meet Mom?
12:50Because I don't want them to see her doing any of her circus stuff.
12:54But Mom's circus tricks are really cool.
12:57The girls from the riding club wouldn't think so.
13:01That's because they're big, fat snobs.
13:03They are not fat.
13:05I really miss playing my guitar.
13:08Why can't Mom and Dad just leave us alone and bother Judy for a while?
13:12Because Judy's too young to care, so it's no fun for them.
13:16Spencer?
13:17Where are you?
13:18I've got Monopoly all set up.
13:20And you can be the car.
13:22Please, please.
13:24My eyes are closed.
13:42Jennings, have you ever considered getting your eyes checked?
13:45Why?
13:47My vision is as sharp as it was when I started driving for you 53 years ago.
14:03Hello, Dad.
14:04Jennings is going to be the death of me.
14:06Son, I will never understand why you don't hire somebody to answer the door for you.
14:11I'm perfectly capable of opening a door myself, Dad.
14:14That's not the point, son.
14:17You are Leo Lionheart, Jr.
14:19You have a reputation to maintain.
14:22If you don't act like a star, you will be treated like one.
14:25Never forget, we are the kings of this jungle.
14:29All right, then.
14:30What was so important that you had to take me away from my golf game?
14:34It's about Spencer.
14:35We're supposed to be having a father-son weekend, but we can't seem to find anything we can do together.
14:41I, uh, I was hoping you could give me some advice.
14:46Hmm.
14:48What's so funny?
14:50I was just remembering the last father-son weekend we had.
14:54You were about nine, I think.
14:57Well, great.
14:58Tell me about it.
14:59Maybe it'll give me some ideas of what to do with Spence.
15:02Well, the whole thing was your mother's idea, of course.
15:07She thought we weren't spending enough time together.
15:10Hmm, sounds familiar.
15:12So I bought you a pair of plaid pants and had Jennings drive us to the golf course.
15:18That was back when he could actually see the road, more or less.
15:22I remember that.
15:24It was one of the worst afternoons of my life.
15:29Mine, too.
15:30You said golf was boring, and you begged me to take your kite flying instead.
15:37I was a real little brat, wasn't I?
15:39Well, you usually were, but not that time.
15:43A father should never force his son to like the same things he likes.
15:48I should have taken your kite flying.
15:50As boring as that is.
15:52I hope that helps, son.
15:59Hello, Mr. Lightheart.
16:00Why are we coming here, Dad?
16:02You'll see.
16:10This is a recording studio.
16:14Yes, it is.
16:15Look over there.
16:16Whoa, it's a 1962 Wes Paul!
16:21Woo-hoo!
16:23It belongs to one of our studio musicians.
16:26Like to give it a try?
16:28Are you kidding?
16:29I would never kid about a 1962 John Paul.
16:33It's Wes Paul, Dad.
16:35I know that.
16:36John is Wes's older brother.
16:38At any rate, it's yours for the next two hours.
16:43Whoa!
16:43Oh, this is way beyond cool.
16:46Ha, ha, ha.
16:47Is that good or bad?
16:51It's good.
16:52Way beyond good.
16:54Thanks, Dad.
16:55You're the best.
16:56You're welcome, son.
16:57What are you going to do while I play?
17:01Oh, I've got big plans.
17:11Well, we got off to a slow start.
17:13But I think our father-son weekend turned out all right.
17:17It was totally awesome!
17:19Can we have another father-son weekend soon?
17:22How's next weekend sound?
17:24All right!
17:26I have a confession to make, Dad.
17:30Yesterday, I hid in Kate's room when you were looking for me.
17:33You were, huh?
17:34Well, I'm glad you told me.
17:37I always want you to be honest with me, Spence.
17:39I will, Dad.
17:42Is it being dishonest if I know about someone else being dishonest and I don't tell you?
17:47Interesting question.
17:49Uh, I can't really answer that until you tell me who's being dishonest about what.
17:53Okay.
17:54It's about Kate and Mom.
17:59Hey there.
18:00Oh, I don't think I've ever seen a shinier pair of riding boots.
18:04Caroline's are shinier.
18:05As soon as they get a scuff on them, her mom buys her a new pair.
18:09That strikes me as rather wasteful.
18:11They give the old ones to charity.
18:13That's very generous, but I'm not sure what use a needy child would have for a pair of riding boots.
18:18Good point.
18:19You know, when I was your age, a lot of my friends belonged to a big, fancy country club.
18:26But the club wouldn't allow me to join.
18:28Why not?
18:29Because, back then, certain groups looked down on movie people.
18:33And Grandpa Leo was in the movies.
18:35That's really stupid.
18:37Grandpa Leo was so great.
18:39Yeah, he is.
18:41But for a while, I was embarrassed to have a dad in the movies.
18:46Until I realized it's wrong to judge anyone by what they do instead of who they are.
18:51And I didn't want to be around people who did that.
18:53So, did you have to find new friends?
18:57A few.
18:58But the rest quit the club and played with me at the neighborhood park instead.
19:02And we're still friends today.
19:04I've been acting like a real jerk with Mom.
19:07I didn't want my friends to know she used to be in the circus.
19:11Oh, don't be too hard on yourself.
19:14After all, being a jerk runs in the family.
19:19This is Caroline, Allison, and Brooke.
19:22And this is my mom, and my dad, and my brother Spencer, and my sister Judy.
19:27It's so nice to meet you.
19:29We've heard such nice things about you from Kate.
19:32Yeah, she talks about you all the time.
19:35And I really mean all the time.
19:38From the minute she got...
19:39We were wondering if Kate was ever going to invite us over.
19:42We've been dying to meet the celebrity in the family.
19:45Oh, I may be a celebrity, but around here, I'm just dad.
19:49Ha, ha, ha, ha.
19:51Actually, I was talking about Mrs. Lionheart.
19:54Kate told us you were a circus star.
19:56We just love the circus.
19:58Do you think you could show us some of the things you used to do?
20:05I don't think this is really the right time.
20:09Please, Mom, won't you do it?
20:11Are you sure you want me to, Kate?
20:14Yes, I'm sure.
20:16I love your circus tricks.
20:18Thanks, sweetheart.
20:19Show them how you dust the room, Mom.
20:22I guarantee you've never seen your mom's dust this way.
20:26I've never seen my mom dust anyway.
20:29Okay.
20:41Me too, me too.
20:45Me too, me too.
21:03You are so lucky, Kate. You have the coolest mom of anyone. I know.
21:08Anyone want an autographed picture? Of me? Huh? No?
