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 not. 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.
00:47One day at a time. And now for the conclusion of The Runaways.
01:01Ms. Romano?
01:07Ms. Romano?
01:10Ms. Romano?
01:20Ms. Romano?
01:26Oh, my God.
02:07Are you all right? I'm sorry.
02:09Nigel, what are you doing?
02:10Nothing, nothing. I didn't do nothing.
02:12I mean, you were hanging out over the edge,
02:14so I just pushed your keys.
02:15I didn't touch. Nobody touched nothing, all right?
02:20Nigel, what are you doing in here?
02:22Mr. Romano, I was talking to the garbage man, you know,
02:26about how uptight you've been since Julie ran away,
02:29and the garbage man says that, you know,
02:31lifting garbage cans all day, you get so tired,
02:34he can't be uptight, so that got me to thinking, see?
02:36You came up here to get me to lift garbage cans.
02:39Came up here to get your blood racing, see?
02:43To release all your tension.
02:44Just what'd you have in mind?
02:48Palisthenics and exercise.
02:49Look at this.
02:50Found all this gym equipment in the basement.
02:52Used to belong to Mr. Tweety, the workout freak.
02:55May he rest in peace.
02:58What do we got here?
02:59A jump rope, jump rope.
03:01It's not, I don't want a jump rope.
03:03Well, now, wait a second.
03:04It's not what you want, it's what's good for you.
03:06I mean, you know, you relax, you forget your troubles,
03:09and then you can get some sleep.
03:10I was sleeping.
03:12That was fitful sleep.
03:13That was completely fitful sleep.
03:14Here, here, watch this.
03:17Let me show you how you do this here.
03:20I can go on, the whole thing you want.
03:24Come on.
03:25Come on.
03:26Not too tough.
03:31That's pretty good.
03:33So, uh, what do you hear about Julie?
03:36Uh, nothing.
03:38I mean, the police are still questioning
03:40those two spaced-out maniacs who stole the van.
03:43They claim they didn't hurt the kids.
03:45Oh, Lord, I hope not.
03:49I've got a...
03:50Wait a minute, I think maybe, uh...
03:52You know what I mean?
03:54I don't know.
03:56Anyway, I got a friend on the vice squad,
03:58and he was talking to a guy in missing persons.
04:00They found Julie.
04:02No, but they called all the hospitals and all the morgues,
04:04and she hasn't checked in.
04:07All checked out.
04:10Ms. Romano,
04:12no news is no news.
04:16You know who said that?
04:18Ronald Reagan.
04:23Here, let's try this.
04:25Twist the board.
04:26Now, this is very relaxing.
04:28Go ahead.
04:31And it promotes regularity.
04:35Schneider, can't your police friend do anything?
04:38I mean, circulate posters,
04:40set up roadblocks,
04:41bring my Julie home?
04:43Ms. Romano,
04:44it's not easy to find a couple of runaways,
04:47but they're gonna be okay.
04:48They're smart kids.
04:49Smart?
04:50Out there with no van,
04:51no clothes,
04:52no money.
04:53Julie packed her pet rock,
04:54forgot her jacket.
04:55I did not say they were brilliant.
04:57They're stupid.
04:59Oh, I don't care.
05:01If Julie wants to be right,
05:02she can be right.
05:02I just want her to come back.
05:08Exhausted.
05:08I can't think.
05:09You're exhausted?
05:10Well, that's exactly what we want.
05:12You're exhausted.
05:13Go on in there,
05:13and I'll get some sleep.
05:14I'll stand here by the phone,
05:15or Bobby comes home from school.
05:17Give me that.
05:17Now, go on.
05:20Okay.
05:24You're sweet.
05:27Yeah, well, bolt your door.
05:28I ain't that sweet.
05:32Sweet.
05:33I know the meaning of the word, sweet.
05:35Sweet.
05:50Got you.
05:54Hi, Julie.
05:56How do you feel?
05:57I feel a little weak.
05:58How much did you get?
05:59A lousy five bucks.
06:01How much did you give?
06:02A pint.
06:04Ah, should have got twice as much.
06:06Everybody else down there
06:07gave 50% wine.
06:10Don't sweat it.
06:11At least we can stay here
06:12another night, right?
06:14Where'd the plant come from?
06:16I bought him.
06:17I'm off giving blood,
06:18and you buy a creeping Charlie?
06:21Julie, we only had $17.
06:24Not my fault you got fired
06:25from the car wash.
06:26I got fired because I got there late
06:28because those creeps
06:29stole our van.
06:30Because you said,
06:30don't lock it.
06:31We don't want them to think
06:32we don't trust them.
06:33Well, if you called the police,
06:34we'd have our van back by now.
06:35Oh, yeah, and our parents
06:36right along with them
06:37saying, we told you so.
06:40Maybe they're right.
06:41Okay.
06:42Okay, you want to go back?
06:44Then go back
06:45and take your creeping Charlie
06:46with you.
06:47Chuck, just listen to you.
06:48What happened to all that garbage
06:49you gave me about walking
06:50hand in hand down life's path?
06:52Ah, Julie,
06:53will you get off my back?
06:57Ow!
06:59I didn't think I heard.
07:00What are you laughing at?
07:01I'm not laughing.
07:02You are trying to...
07:03Hold it down!
07:05I'm trying to pass out.
07:14Hey, I think we just had
07:15our first argument.
07:16Yeah, it was fun.
07:19Do you really love me?
07:20Are you kidding?
07:21You think I'd be living
07:22in this flea bag
07:23if I didn't?
07:24Hmm?
07:25Chuck, we got to get out of here.
07:27Yeah, you're right.
07:28We need money.
07:29And I know how to get it.
07:31I'm gonna phone Barbie.
07:32Julie, you're out of your mind.
07:34She'll tell your mom
07:35where we are.
07:35No, she won't.
07:36She's my sister.
07:37I trust her.
07:38Julie!
07:38Chuck, I'm just gonna ask her
07:40to mail me my bank book
07:40and some money.
07:42Come on, take my word.
07:43She's not gonna tell.
07:44I've got some change.
07:47What if your mom
07:48answers the phone?
07:49Mom answers?
07:49Where does I hang up?
07:50Yeah, we could go broke
07:51just hanging up.
07:56Maybe we could get him
07:57to call and ask for Barbie.
07:59Uh, uh, sir?
08:00Sir?
08:00Uh, sir?
08:04Do you think you could
08:05make a phone call for us?
08:07Ah!
08:07Ah!
08:08Ah!
08:30Hello?
08:32Julie!
08:33Uh, uh, where are you?
08:35Are you okay?
08:36I'll call Mom.
08:36She's sleeping.
08:37No, no, don't.
08:38If you do, I'll hang out.
08:39Don't do that, Julie.
08:41Oh, I've missed you so much.
08:43I miss you too, Squirt.
08:45Julie, come home.
08:47I need you.
08:48I love you.
08:48I love you too, Barb.
08:50And I know we can trust you.
08:51Julie, we only have
08:52three minutes.
08:53How you doing?
08:54Fine.
08:55Everything's fine.
08:56Julie, you lied.
08:58You know the van was stolen.
08:59The police caught
09:00those two creeps in it.
09:01Oh, right.
09:02See, that's why I'm calling.
09:03Uh, we're safe,
09:04but we need some help
09:05getting started.
09:06I want you to send me
09:07my bank book
09:08and any money
09:08you can scrape together.
09:10And some of my clothes
09:12and a can of Raid.
09:13You better make
09:14that industrial strength.
09:16Uh, Barbara,
09:17don't tell Mom I called.
09:19Don't tell Mom.
09:20Julie, I have to tell her.
09:22She doesn't know
09:22whether you're dead or alive.
09:24Well, um,
09:26tell her I'm sorry
09:27and tell her I love her.
09:29I do love her.
09:30Uh, no, Barb,
09:31don't tell her anything.
09:32Uh, just tell her
09:33after we move on.
09:34No way, turkey.
09:36What do you mean?
09:37I'm your sister.
09:38And Mom's your mother.
09:39This is the first time
09:40she's slept in over four days.
09:43And hear me, sister.
09:44You're not gonna get
09:45anything from here
09:45unless you give me
09:46your address
09:46and Mom brings it herself.
09:48I don't care
09:48if you hate me forever.
09:50Barb, she'll make me come home.
09:52How do you know?
09:53Have you given her a chance?
09:54You trust Chuckie-Poo
09:56and a couple of weirdos,
09:57but you won't trust
09:57your own mother.
09:58I do trust her.
10:00Barb, you don't understand.
10:02I've started a new life.
10:05Chuck and I are gonna have
10:06a beautiful new life together.
10:08Then enjoy it, Julie.
10:10Okay, we will.
10:11We don't need your help.
10:12We'll do just fine.
10:13My wallet.
10:14That old wino,
10:15he took my wallet.
10:16Hold on.
10:16Are you sure?
10:17Yeah, I'm sure.
10:18That was all our money, Julie.
10:22Uh, Barb,
10:24tell Mom to come
10:25to the Empire Hotel
10:26in Kokomo.
10:27Julie!
10:27Shut up!
10:28Honey.
10:32Uh, Barbie,
10:34please tell Mom to come.
10:35Okay.
10:51Hey, I thought you dusted.
10:53I did,
10:54but it's like dusting Kansas.
10:58Look at this dump.
10:59Why didn't I tell Mom
11:00to meet us in the restroom
11:01at the gas station?
11:03At least there'd be
11:03more places to sit.
11:06Julie, she's really
11:07gonna put it to us.
11:08You don't know that.
11:09You kidding?
11:10She's out after my blood,
11:12and I can't give again
11:13for two months.
11:15Aw, Chuck,
11:16Mom can't make us
11:17do anything
11:18we don't wanna do.
11:19As long as we stick together,
11:20everything's gonna be all right.
11:22Hey, hey, hey, you.
11:22Come here.
11:23Come here.
11:45Oh, God.
11:46Good luck.
11:47Okay.
11:53Hi, Mom.
11:55Hello, Julie.
11:57Come on in.
12:00I'm Miss Romano.
12:02Hello, Chuck.
12:05Uh, Julie, uh, look, here.
12:06I brought you, uh, your bag.
12:08There's some things in.
12:09I hope I brought the right, um,
12:11your bank book, uh, some...
12:13Here, uh, Barbara made you
12:14some cookies.
12:15That's nice.
12:16How is she?
12:17Fine.
12:19Can I, uh, get you anything?
12:23Some cookies?
12:26Uh, sit down, Mom.
12:43Well.
12:48Well.
12:57Um.
12:59You really have a nice,
13:00creeping Charlie.
13:01Oh, thanks.
13:02Chuck bought it for me.
13:03He's so thoughtful.
13:07Uh, Julie.
13:08Mom, we're not coming home.
13:09And we'll pay the money back.
13:10You obviously need it.
13:11You and Dad didn't start
13:12with everything.
13:13No.
13:14But at least the first
13:16patter of little feet
13:17we had was...
13:18you.
13:20Miss Romano,
13:21it's not our fault
13:22everything we had
13:23was stolen.
13:24Oh, boy, everything.
13:26A beat-up old van,
13:27a tape deck,
13:28and a pet rock.
13:29Match that against
13:30a house, a steady job,
13:31and a marriage license.
13:32Which you finally burned
13:34and used to light
13:35a Virginia Slim.
13:36Damn it, Julie.
13:37At least we were
13:38dealing in reality.
13:39Don't yell at her
13:40like that, Miss Romano.
13:41You're in my home.
13:43Our home.
13:47Love your decor.
13:50Mom, that was a cheap shot.
13:54Yeah, you're right.
13:55Okay, I'm sorry.
13:56Julie,
13:57I've been sick with worry.
13:58I know, Mom.
14:00I didn't mean to hurt you.
14:02I didn't.
14:03But I've got to live
14:05my own life.
14:05Please try and understand that.
14:07I want to understand that, Julie.
14:09I do.
14:11Uh, I can't believe
14:13you're happy.
14:14Oh, Mom, I...
14:14She's very happy.
14:16Chuck, would you let me say
14:17if I'm happy?
14:18I'm just agreeing
14:18that you're happy.
14:19How can you agree
14:20that I'm happy
14:20when I haven't even said
14:21that I was happy
14:22to agree with?
14:22I'm very happy.
14:24That's all I said.
14:26That's all I said.
14:26You're very happy.
14:27I'm not happy.
14:28Julie.
14:29Chuck, it's not you.
14:30It's this place.
14:32I hate this place.
14:33I hate not being clean
14:35and I hate being hungry.
14:37I hate the way
14:38people look at us.
14:39Nobody cares.
14:42Your dad and I care.
14:44Chuck, your folks care.
14:46Your sister's been
14:47crying herself to sleep.
14:49Schneider's been on
14:49that CB radio
14:50for five days and nights
14:51trying to find you.
14:54Yeah, to find me.
14:56To bring me back
14:57so it can be
14:57just like it was.
14:59Aw, Mom,
15:00that's not the kind of care
15:01I'm talking about.
15:02I want to be cared for
15:03as a person.
15:04An adult person.
15:06I don't need protection.
15:08I'm 17,
15:09but you treat me
15:09like I'm 12.
15:10Julie.
15:11Julie, look,
15:12I know that there have been
15:13times that I have been
15:15overprotective
15:16and times that I have
15:17corrected you
15:18and wanted to take
15:19those words right back.
15:21But, honey,
15:23you have inherited
15:25my temper
15:26and my stubbornness.
15:28It seems
15:28before we've always
15:30been able to talk it out.
15:32Hey, come home, huh?
15:34Can't we take it from there?
15:35Mom!
15:36Julie!
15:37Chuck!
15:38She's doing a number on you.
15:39Chuck!
15:42Both of you.
15:44Uh, look,
15:44see,
15:45I really think
15:46that it can work out
15:47if we work at it together.
15:53Maybe it could.
15:54Julie?
15:55Chuck,
15:56nothing's gonna change
15:57the way we feel
15:58about each other.
16:03All right, Julie.
16:04It's up to you.
16:05Okay.
16:07Okay.
16:19We'll come home.
16:22Oh, thank God.
16:23But let's have
16:24a real agreement, okay?
16:25I mean, let's spell it out
16:26because I'm not going
16:27back to the way it was.
16:29I'm listening.
16:30All right.
16:31I want to be treated
16:32like a grown person,
16:33not a child.
16:34I have to be allowed
16:35to make my own decisions
16:36and come and go
16:37as I like,
16:38and I don't want
16:39your opinion
16:39every time I turn around.
16:41My relationship
16:42with Chuck
16:43has to be what we want,
16:44not what you want.
16:46I'll see him
16:47when I like
16:47and go on trips
16:49with him
16:49or do anything else
16:50we want to do.
16:52Mom, this is it.
16:54Uh,
16:55either I run my life
16:56or I don't come back.
17:04Okay, Julie.
17:09Don't come back.
17:21You had them.
17:23You had my boy
17:24right in your hands
17:25and you let them go.
17:27Oh, I knew you were
17:28troubled the minute
17:28I saw you were a redhead.
17:32Oh, look,
17:38that was the toughest thing
17:40I ever had to do,
17:41but I had to do it.
17:42Without consulting me?
17:44No matter what you think,
17:45you are not God,
17:47Mrs. Romano.
17:47Miz.
17:50Oh, I forgot.
17:52God is a woman.
17:55I am not giving up
17:57my responsibility
17:58just because Julie
17:59wants her own way.
18:00I am her mother.
18:02And I'm Chuck's father.
18:03And I am Chuck's mother.
18:05Who the hell gave you
18:05the right to decide
18:06his life?
18:07If I had decided
18:08his life,
18:09Mr. Butterfield,
18:10he would have been
18:10arrested for kidnapping
18:11and contributing
18:12to the delinquency
18:13of my daughter.
18:14He may have been
18:15just a little late
18:16for that.
18:16Oh, shut up!
18:21If you hadn't taken
18:23Chuck to Cicero
18:24when he was 16,
18:25maybe he wouldn't be
18:26out chasing
18:27every skirt in town.
18:28I told you, Alice,
18:30we went fishing.
18:32Thank God
18:33you didn't catch anything.
18:38Who cares?
18:39Who cares?
18:41You sure don't!
18:44I'll never see
18:45my sister again.
18:48Barbara.
18:50Oh, you poor thing.
18:51Oh, don't blame
18:53your mother,
18:53little girl.
18:54She needs medical help.
18:58Don't you talk
18:59about my mother
19:00like that!
19:05Looties!
19:06My God,
19:07this house is full
19:08of looties!
19:10Come on, Alice,
19:11let's get out of here.
19:12Oh, rotten kid,
19:13I think she's got
19:14tap shoes on.
19:18You are going
19:19to hear from
19:19our lawyer.
19:20We don't have
19:21a lawyer!
19:22Will you shut up?
19:34Oh, Barb.
19:36Barb,
19:36they were ready
19:37to come home
19:37and I just...
19:40Dammit, Barbara,
19:41what I did
19:41was right.
19:43I hope so.
19:44You don't think
19:45it was.
19:45I don't know.
19:46We could have
19:46had her here now.
19:48On her own terms.
19:49Would that really
19:49be important?
19:54Maybe not.
19:57I mean,
19:57maybe I could just,
19:58uh,
19:59sit here
19:59and watch Julie
20:01as she comes
20:01and goes.
20:03Hello, Julie.
20:04Goodbye, Anne.
20:07Listen,
20:07I'm going out
20:08someplace with somebody
20:09and I'll be home
20:10sometime.
20:11Oh,
20:12that's just lovely, dear.
20:13Now,
20:14be sure that you
20:14close the hall door
20:15if you plan on
20:16entertaining anybody
20:17in your bedroom.
20:18It's better than
20:19the Empire Hotel
20:20in Kokomo.
20:21Is it?
20:26Oh, man.
20:28When does the
20:28obligation to be
20:29a parent stop?
20:32Some job.
20:33It's a surprise
20:33when you're hired.
20:34It's a surprise
20:34when you're fired.
20:36Pay ain't too hot,
20:37either.
20:39Look at it this way,
20:40Mom.
20:40Someday you'll be
20:41a grandmom
20:41and you can give out
20:42all the advice you want
20:43and nobody's
20:44going to listen.
20:46Thanks.
20:51Julie!
20:53Hey, Mom.
20:55Twerp.
20:55Boy, am I starved.
20:56What's in the fridge?
20:57Anything on TV tonight?
21:02I came back, okay?
21:06It's your home, Julie.
21:07Always has been.
21:09Look, uh,
21:10you gonna be okay, sunshine?
21:11Yeah.
21:13Oh, I guess I better
21:14get on home, then.
21:15I guess you better.
21:16Mom, Chuck came up here
21:18to make sure I'd be okay,
21:19that I'd be welcome.
21:21We've had a pretty rough time,
21:22but he's taking care
21:23of me every minute.
21:26Thanks.
21:27I love her,
21:28Ms. Romano.
21:32Bye, Julie.
21:40I'll call you.
21:46So long.
21:49Well, I didn't expect
21:50to see you.
21:52Oh, Mom,
21:53I just about died
21:54when you walked away
21:55from me in that hotel room.
21:57Well,
21:58it wasn't exactly
21:59the easiest thing to do.
22:02I just don't want you
22:03to think that I came back
22:04because Chuck and I
22:05couldn't make it.
22:07Maybe we could have.
22:08Why did you come back?
22:09because I need a shower.
22:13Oh, Mom,
22:14there's so many things
22:15that we have to talk about
22:16that I have to tell you.
22:18Right now,
22:19I want to get in that shower
22:20and get some sleep, okay?
22:27Okay.
22:30Oh, Mom.
22:34Hey, welcome home, turkey.
22:37Who's the turkey?
22:38You are for doing
22:39such a stupid thing.
22:41You're wearing my shirt.
22:42You weren't supposed
22:43to notice.
22:45What else have you stolen?
22:46Do I have any cologne left?
22:48No, but you sure need it.
22:49Oh, Barbara!
22:51Look at almost
22:52everything around.
22:52It looks awful.
22:53Move it back.
22:54It doesn't look awful.
22:55Why don't you move it
22:55back yourself?
22:56You can't...
22:57You can't...
23:07Toward the end,
23:07we had no money at all.
23:09You don't know
23:09the terrible feeling
23:10when the Kentucky colonel
23:11stops smiling down at you.
23:14Well, next time you run away,
23:16why don't you take
23:16the American plan?
23:18Meals are included.
23:20What did you eat anyway?
23:22One night,
23:23we had this incredible meal.
23:24Pot roast,
23:25mashed potatoes,
23:26gravy,
23:27coffee,
23:27jello,
23:29and a two-hour sermon
23:30on the evils of booze.
23:31You ate at a rescue mission.
23:33One night,
23:34we had Chateaubriand.
23:35At a rescue mission?
23:36No,
23:37at a really nice restaurant.
23:38See,
23:38we gave this guy
23:3950 cents for his doggy bag.
23:41Yeah.
23:42Well,
23:43if you're still hungry,
23:43there's some banana cream pie
23:44in the fridge.
23:45There was.
23:46I ate it.
23:47I'm gonna see
23:48what else there is.
23:51Barbara.
23:52Barbara,
23:53get your mother.
23:54Why?
23:54Because I just got
23:55a hot flash over the CB,
23:56Pistol Pete told
23:58the beer billet
23:58that he's seen the kids
23:59hitching a ride
24:00on 65 heading north.
24:02They're probably
24:02in Chicago right now.
24:04Hey,
24:05Schneider,
24:05how are you?
24:06Hey,
24:06how is Chicago?
24:07How are you?
24:07How are you?
24:08How are you?
24:08How are you?
24:08How are you?
