00:01This is it. This is it. This is life. The one you get to go and have a ball. This
00:10is it. This is it. Straight ahead and rest assured you can't be sure at all.
00:16So while you're here, enjoy the view. Keep on doing what you do. Hold on tight, we'll muddle through one
00:25day at a time. So up on your feet, somewhere there's music playing. Don't you worry, love. Just take it
00:36like it's off one day at a time.
00:38One day at a time. One day at a time. One day at a time. One day at a time.
00:46One day at a time. One day at a time.
00:54David? David, wake up. Wake up. Julie's run away with Chuck. David, are you awake? I said Julie has run
01:05away.
01:07Yeah. Yeah, I'm all right. No, I'm not all right. Hey, come down quick, okay?
01:16I checked her stuff, Ma. She didn't take very much. Some jeans, sweater, toothbrush. And her pet rock.
01:25Her pet rock. Of course her pet rock. Chuck gave it to her.
01:29Oh, Mom, is she really run away?
01:31She certainly didn't step out for an Egg McMuffin.
01:35Don't be mad at me. Julie would still be here if you hadn't thrown Chuck out last night.
01:42Uh, I'm sorry.
01:44Where will they go? What will they do?
01:47Knowing Chuck, they're out in the woods burying nuts for the winter.
01:54They might have headed for Pete's.
01:56Who's Pete?
01:56Chuck's best friend. They're always over there. I'll give him a call.
01:59I gotta find him. I gotta find him. I don't care if it means embarrassing them in front of their
02:03friends.
02:04Oh, Pete wouldn't care. He's living with Charlene.
02:08And Betsy.
02:11Well, Betsy can cook.
02:16I hope that's David.
02:19Why? What happened?
02:20She left a note. Uh, here.
02:23Read it.
02:25Dear Mom, I...
02:26Oh, David, they have no money, no job. It's all just crazy.
02:30Have you called Ed?
02:32First thing. Typical father.
02:33He got all excited and fell apart.
02:35Wanted to drive right down here.
02:37Now, what good would being here someone like that doing?
02:45There's no answer. Maybe we should call the police.
02:49No. Uh, no, not yet. I'll, uh...
02:51I'll call Chuck's folks. Maybe they know something.
02:54It's Butterfield.
02:55Oh, God. I can't even think of the name of the kid my daughter ran away with.
03:02Julie Butterfield.
03:05There's a nice ring to it.
03:09Hello, Mrs. Butterfield.
03:10Ann Romano.
03:13Ann Romano, Julie's mother.
03:16Uh, do you happen to know where Chuck is?
03:19In bed.
03:20Uh-huh.
03:22Well, is anybody with him?
03:26Uh, what I mean is, uh...
03:28See, I hope my daughter's with him.
03:30No, uh...
03:32Uh, I don't mean that.
03:33Mrs.... Mrs. Butter... Mrs. Butterfield.
03:35No doubt dashing to the bedroom.
03:39Well, Lord, they don't even know yet.
03:43Yes?
03:44Yeah, uh, I know, Mrs. Butterfield.
03:47I got a note, too.
03:49Listen, do you happen to know where Chuck hangs out?
03:53This is Julie's house.
03:59Yes, I'm sure you're a good mother.
04:02Uh, look, uh, the minute I hear anything, I'll let you know, okay?
04:06Bye.
04:09Okay.
04:09What do we do now?
04:12Well, I just can't stay here.
04:14I want to go out and do something.
04:15I mean, let's just get in the car and drive.
04:17Yeah.
04:18Am I the first one?
04:23First one, what?
04:24For the kidnap breakfast.
04:29The what?
04:31Kidnap breakfast.
04:33You know, where a bunch of kids grab some friends out of bed
04:35and they all go and have breakfast.
04:38It's all very immoral.
04:39Julie invited me.
04:40Julie?
04:41Yeah, I gave them a hand getting their van started this morning.
04:45What are we going to have?
04:46Flapjacks?
04:47Oh.
04:49Wait a minute.
04:49Wait a minute.
04:50You saw Julie leave?
04:52Well, I was wondering what they were doing down there at 4 a.m.
04:56And they told me they were going to kidnap some friends out of bed
04:58and they were going to go and bring them back here and have breakfast.
05:01Well, it's a good thing I went down there.
05:03Their battery was dead.
05:06I gave it a jump.
05:09Sorry, Julie right away.
05:10You what?
05:12With Chuck.
05:25Oh, Schneider, you idiot.
05:29Finally, it's unanimous.
05:36I helped them run away.
05:39I left them my jumper cables.
05:42I gave them the still water for their battery.
05:45You didn't know.
05:46You were just trying to help.
05:47I lent them $5.
05:49Gave them a fuse for their headlights.
05:53I gave them a map for the Midwest.
05:59Well, I didn't know.
06:00I mean, it was 4 a.m.
06:01I was half asleep.
06:02What the hell have you done to help out?
06:03Nothing, which is a hell of a lot better than what you've done, you moron.
06:07On top of the range.
06:08Stop it!
06:09Stop it!
06:10Both of you.
06:12Can't you see what you're doing to Mom?
06:14Ah, Mr. Romano, don't worry.
06:16He'll be right back as soon as...
06:18as soon as they get tired of playing slap and tickle.
06:20I know.
06:23Come on.
06:24Everybody runs away at least once.
06:27I mean, when I was 16, for goodness sakes,
06:29my parents ran away.
06:32The cops brought him back the next day.
06:34Have you called the cops?
06:36I don't want to do that yet.
06:38Oh, well, I understand that.
06:39I understand that.
06:40But look, look, now, don't worry, okay?
06:42Because we're going to find him.
06:43We'll find him.
06:43We'll make a project out of it.
06:46Believe me, huh?
06:47When I start thinking,
06:50the light bulbs go off.
06:55I'll fix us some breakfast.
07:00Julie?
07:01Sally.
07:02Hi.
07:03Um, no, honey, she's not here.
07:07I, uh, I don't think you ought to count on her for that.
07:10Mm-hmm.
07:11Bye.
07:13What is Julie doing with her life?
07:16I mean, she is missing everything.
07:17I mean, her group was going to toilet paper
07:19the principal's house tonight.
07:23That's what kids are supposed to be doing.
07:27Running off with some dropout
07:29in a leopard-spotted van.
07:31Money.
07:33They are going to need money.
07:34Now, she's got $80 in her bank.
07:37But the banks don't open until 10.
07:40So, we can beat them there and catch them.
07:42Oh, yeah, but if they see our car, they'll hide.
07:45So, what we have to do
07:47is drive around the corner, see?
07:49Then, when we get,
07:51they get there,
07:51we'll drive out,
07:53block their van.
07:54Ann, you sound like the commander of a SWAT team.
07:58She didn't take her bank book.
08:01All right, hold this, chubby.
08:06Face, uh, face magnetic north.
08:10Snyder, what are you doing?
08:11Hey, you want to get your daughter back, don't you?
08:14Well, of course.
08:14Well, I'm going to do something about it
08:16while Namu here stands around ineffectualizing.
08:20Breaker 1-9, Breaker 1-9,
08:23this is Superstar.
08:24Superstar calling Bear Belly.
08:28Snyder, what are you doing?
08:31Look, college boy,
08:32I have entrusted you with a very important job.
08:36Now, take that antenna
08:39and hang it out the window.
08:42Mr. Romano, there's a lot of...
08:44Peter, move!
08:47Mr. Romano,
08:49there's a lot of real citizens out there
08:51driving trucks.
08:53Now, if they can spot Smokey the Bear
08:54at three miles,
08:56they sure as hell can zero in
08:57on a leopard-spotted van.
08:59Smokey the Bear?
09:01Highway Patrol.
09:03Breaker 1-9, Breaker 1-9,
09:05this is Superstar calling Bear Belly.
09:08Go ahead, good buddy,
09:10this is Bear Belly.
09:12Hey, Belly, how are you?
09:13Say you're 20, Belly.
09:14I'm reading you weak, stud.
09:18Belly's reading me weak.
09:19Hold up the tip.
09:22All right, Belly,
09:23say you're 20 now, please.
09:25North bounding on 70 to Kokomo.
09:27Hey, Superstud,
09:29that tip on the Brawl Buster
09:30you gave me bombed out.
09:33She was married.
09:36Yeah, well, nobody's perfect.
09:37Listen, Belly,
09:39I got a friend here
09:40with a runaway kid
09:41that took off with Mr. Hot Pants
09:42in a leopard-spotted van.
09:44Well, mercy sucks.
09:47Look, Belly, do me a favor,
09:48will you spread the word?
09:49Is it a poor devil?
09:51No, no, they ain't married.
09:52We want to keep it that way,
09:53so spread the word.
09:54We try to get a fix on them.
09:55That's a big 10-4, good buddy.
09:58It's a great American.
10:00Break a 1-9.
10:01Break a 1-9.
10:02This is Superstud calling baby booties.
10:06Superstud, uh, Dwayne.
10:09If you want your daughter back,
10:10you got to find her first mama.
10:12Not first mama.
10:13Superstud is not calling first mama.
10:20All right, Schneider, that's it.
10:22I'm not standing out there
10:23holding this idiotic thing all day.
10:24Look, Kane,
10:25I have just begun the broadcast.
10:27We're going to blanket the state.
10:28Now hold it out the window.
10:30You want to know
10:30where you can hold it?
10:33Schneider, I really appreciate
10:35what you're doing, huh, but...
10:36All right, all right.
10:38I guess it does get kind of hot
10:40up here on the front lines.
10:41But remember this.
10:44They also stand
10:45who only serve in weight.
10:52Can I do that, Superstud?
10:5610-4, Jellybean.
11:07Now let's call the police
11:08and report Julie as a missing person.
11:10Can't we just report Chuck?
11:13You know, I don't think
11:14this whole thing would have happened
11:15if it hadn't been for the divorce.
11:17I mean, I'm the one
11:17who's always talking about
11:18finding myself,
11:20leading my own life.
11:21I mean, why in the hell
11:21should Julie act any differently?
11:23I'm going to call the police
11:24and have them drag them back.
11:26And calling the police
11:28now won't do any good.
11:30They get hundreds of runaway kids
11:32and it's standard procedure
11:33to wait 48 hours
11:35in case they come home
11:36by themselves.
11:41Oh, Mom, I just set a place
11:45for Julie.
11:47Can't you do something?
11:50Honey, I would do anything.
11:54But I don't know what else to do
11:56but just stay here and wait.
11:58Oh, God, I feel so helpless.
12:06I feel so helpless.
12:11I feel so helpless.
12:29Happy?
12:31Mmm, perfection.
12:33A double cheeseburger,
12:35a side order of onion rings,
12:37and bow.
12:39I wonder if I should go to confession
12:41for having a hamburger for breakfast.
12:42What's wrong with that?
12:44We're free, and that's where it's at.
12:46And if you want to do it, you do it.
12:49Right.
12:50I'll do it.
12:56Julie?
12:57Julie, I want you to think big, okay?
12:58Okay.
13:00What would you like to do most
13:02in the whole world?
13:03Hmm.
13:06Take a shower.
13:09Take a shower?
13:11Uh, how much was the food?
13:13About $3.58.
13:16Hey, don't worry about money.
13:18We've got $70.
13:20And when that runs out, I'll get work.
13:22Hey, I don't have to worry.
13:23You've got that job when we get to Aspen.
13:25Oh, yeah, about that.
13:28Look, I talked to my friend last night.
13:30Seems he doesn't have as much pull as he used to.
13:33He got himself fired
13:34so he could collect unemployment.
13:38Well, so we don't have to go to Aspen.
13:40We could go to Mexico.
13:41Ooh.
13:42Acapulco.
13:42Oh, yeah.
13:43Hey, how are you at diving off cliffs?
13:45Ay, I don't think so, senorita.
13:47Too bad, senor.
13:49Oh, I mean, I don't think so, senorita.
13:52Ah.
13:53God, I hope Mom's not too worried.
13:56Maybe I should phone.
13:58Hey, Julie, come on.
13:59I hurt my folks, too.
14:01They'll get over it.
14:03Ah, we made the break, sunshine.
14:05This is it.
14:06It's our life now.
14:07Yeah, I know.
14:10We are right.
14:11Mom was getting impossible.
14:12She wouldn't even listen to me.
14:14My dad doesn't even listen to himself.
14:16He's always moaning and groaning
14:18about how much he hates his work.
14:21But when I tell him
14:22I don't want to be a lawyer or engineer,
14:23he says,
14:24go for the money, son.
14:26Your generation is so hung up on money.
14:29Yeah.
14:29Well, we broke away from that.
14:31Right on.
14:32Let's go to a movie tonight.
14:34A movie?
14:36That'll cost us five bucks.
14:39Moaning?
14:40Uh, six bucks.
14:42Well, this is free.
14:45Mm-hmm.
15:02I'll get it.
15:06Uh, Mrs. Romano?
15:08Yes?
15:08I'm Hal Butterfield, Chuck's father.
15:10I'm his mother.
15:11Oh, come on in.
15:13Please.
15:14Uh, this is my daughter, Barbara.
15:16Barbara.
15:17Hello, Barbara.
15:18Please, uh, sit down.
15:19Oh, thank you.
15:20Yeah.
15:23We thought we could put our heads together.
15:26We just don't know which way to turn.
15:28Oh, I know how you feel.
15:29Uh, listen.
15:30Would anybody like some coffee?
15:31I'd be glad to get it for you.
15:32Oh, thank you.
15:33Okay.
15:34What a nice girl.
15:36Sisters can be so different.
15:40Oh, Alice, let's face it.
15:43That woman's daughter lured our boy into running off Lord knows where.
15:48Or for what.
15:50Yeah.
15:50I think we know for what.
15:55I'm under the impression here that this whole thing was Chuck's idea, and we don't know for
16:00what.
16:01Chuck didn't even know what was what until he met her.
16:07My daughter is a lovely...
16:10Do you mean to tell me that they are out there all alone, and you haven't even taught him
16:14what's what?
16:24Now, look here.
16:25Here, don't you criticize the way that we've raised our son.
16:27Now, now, we are a close, God-loving family.
16:32Romano, that's Catholic, isn't it?
16:35What has that got to do with anything?
16:37Well, if you people would allow divorce, people wouldn't have to run off and live together.
16:41Look, I want you to know that my family is as moral and upstanding as anybody's.
16:47Hello, sweetheart.
16:49Mr. Romano, I'm Chuck's father.
16:52I'm his mother.
16:53Hi, hi, I'm David Cain.
16:58I'm not her husband.
17:01I'm her friend.
17:03Oh.
17:05I see.
17:07No, you don't see.
17:09David is a very good friend, and my lawyer.
17:13You called your lawyer?
17:15Yeah, but Chuck wouldn't...
17:16I mean, he...
17:19I thought we were here to cooperate.
17:21Oh, they're...
17:22They're both nice kids.
17:23Uh, we don't want to stir up any trouble.
17:25No, believe me.
17:26We're very fond of Jody.
17:28Julie, darling.
17:29Julie.
17:31Uh, say, do you folks have any idea where they might have gone?
17:34No.
17:34No.
17:35But Chuck wouldn't cross any state lines.
17:39Well...
17:41I gave the kids description to all my buddies.
17:43Bear belly, rubber duck, honey wagon.
17:48Great guys in great rigs cruising across the breadth of America.
17:52Now, is there any chance that they might have changed wheels?
17:56One of my cowboys thought he might have spotted them heading south in a pregnant roller skate.
18:01In a what?
18:02In a Volkswagen.
18:12Are you the father of who?
18:15What?
18:18Uh, Dwayne is a very good friend.
18:22Another friend.
18:24Look, I think we'd better get this all out in the open here.
18:26You see, I'm not married.
18:31I'm divorced.
18:32Not even a good Catholic.
18:37Who the hell are these people?
18:46Chuck's parents, the Butterfields.
18:48Oh, your future in-laws, huh?
18:51Well, let's get a look.
18:51Schneider.
18:53I think the, uh, that, uh, beer belly may be trying to reach you, you know.
18:57Yeah.
18:58Listen, uh, Butterfields, uh, is that Jewish?
19:10Mrs. Romano.
19:12Ms.
19:16I'm sorry if I was a little brusque.
19:19See, I just don't know how to handle this.
19:23Chuck never even gave us a hint.
19:26And we were so close.
19:28Little League.
19:31Indian Guides.
19:33I know, I know.
19:34Julie was a Girl Scout.
19:36The months I spent squatting on the teepee floor.
19:42All those feathers on my head.
19:44I must have bought a million cookies.
19:47I was Chief Long Bear.
19:51I think I'll have a vasectomy.
20:02Every Mother's Day, I used to get a card saying that I was the best mom in the whole world.
20:09What happened to our boy?
20:11He met our girl.
20:13Hold it long, Bear.
20:16Now, this is not all Julie's fault.
20:18True.
20:19If you hadn't bought all the cookies, she would have learned a little responsibility.
20:23Wait a second.
20:24I mean, don't blame my mom.
20:26I mean, we have a very good mom here.
20:28With a runaway daughter.
20:30What about your runaway son?
20:32Even the nice girl isn't nice.
20:35Now, look.
20:36Little girl.
20:38This is for a girl.
20:39We don't make children like that.
20:40Don't we were here to cooperate, huh?
20:43Right.
20:43Now, let's be practical for a moment.
20:45Does Chuck have any money?
20:47It's tied up in a trust, and he can't touch it until he's married.
20:52By a minister.
20:55I meant with him.
20:57Oh.
21:00We don't have any idea what he took with him.
21:03He took my daughter with him.
21:04Now, look here.
21:05Oh, come on, Alice.
21:06Let's get out of here.
21:06I told you it wasn't any use to come over here.
21:10If you hear anything, we'd appreciate it if you would take the trouble to let us know.
21:14Well, I would appreciate it if you would do the same for me.
21:18Of course.
21:22Oh, this has been a day and a half.
21:32Next time, I'm gonna run away.
21:34Oh, David, where is Julie?
21:37Ann, Ann, most runaway kids come home all by themselves in a couple of days.
21:43You know, they did this on an impulse, out of anger.
21:46How long can Julie stay angry?
21:48My sister?
21:50Look, come on.
21:52I mean, Chuck's van is not exactly what Julie is used to living in.
21:55You know, no TV, no refrigerator, no telephone.
21:59Must be a kind of teenage hell.
22:02David, maybe you're right.
22:03Of course I am, of course.
22:05Look, you just give Julie a couple of days to swallow her pride.
22:09The odds are that she'll...
22:12Hello?
22:13Julie!
22:14Uh, where are you?
22:15Are you okay?
22:16Honey, let me have the phone, quick.
22:17Uh, Julie, here's Mom.
22:19Uh, we love you.
22:26Hello, Julie.
22:28Ma-Mom, hi.
22:30Uh, I just wanted to let you know we're all right.
22:34We're glad.
22:35We're glad.
22:35Uh, we're worried about you.
22:37I know.
22:38Um, I love you, Mama.
22:42You know I love you, too, Julie.
22:45We all do.
22:48Hey, uh, honey, you got enough money?
22:50Oh, yeah.
22:51We, uh, we met another couple, and they're paying us $3 a night to share the van.
22:56Julie, I don't think that's a very good idea.
22:58We're not as irresponsible as you think.
23:00We, uh, we took a look at our resources, and Chuck's got a line on a job.
23:04So, don't worry.
23:06Everything's gonna be okay.
23:07Worry?
23:08Julie, your home is here.
23:10You belong here.
23:11Mom, I'm sorry.
23:13We've made our decision.
23:14And we're off to a good start.
23:16We've, uh, already made new friends.
23:19Ooh!
23:24Uh, bye, Mom.
23:26Give Barbie my love.
23:36They're not coming home.
23:41Julie's not coming home.
23:50Hold on.
23:56To be continued next week.
24:00APPLAUSE
