Family Ties - Season 1 Edit

A a a tattoo is...

A a living, breathing monument.

A Alex, we don't want to interfere.

A all right. Thanks.

A as you get older, it gets harder.

A book about Richard Nixon in history class.

A girl like that is... is older.

A good friend's hard to find.

A good man's even harder.

A jacket like that was a symbol of rebellion,

A lot of good 77 cents is going to do the bald eagle.

A lot of good it did you.

A lot of mistakes with you, Steven.

A real fascist, but she wore it well, you know?

A simple "no" would have been sufficient.

A very good friend.

A young kid like you must have been putty in his hands.

A young lady always says "please" and "thank you,"

About a book you've read.

About an hour ago.

About catching dinner for us.

About felt tip pens?

About Friedman's economic theory.

About how he can make me feel like a woman.

About Jennifer.

About leaving the kids alone.

About the...

About this relationship stuff.

About your being at a restricted club.

Actually, I wanted red ones, but that's my fault.

Actually, I've been practicing for this moment

Actually, if anything's changed,

Actually, it's these kids from school.

Actually, Jennifer,

Actually, no.

Actually...

Adiós, amigo.

After all that's happened in the past 15 years or so...

After all, Eric came to see me, not you.

After everything that happened between us last night?

After everything... We did?

After what happened between us last night...

Ah, so do I.

Ah, Steven, I..

Ah, what the hell? There is an energy crisis.

Ah, which one?

Ah, you know what I always say.

Ah, you're up early.

Ah! I was just kidding about the tattoo.

Aha.

Ain't this a beauty?

Al.

Alex

Alex is gonna be gone for the whole day,

Alex is two years older than you.

Alex isn't going.

Alex p. Keaton here.

Alex p. Keaton.

Alex thinks she might be interested in him.

Alex, a Stephanie Brooks for you.

Alex, did you think that it was at all strange

Alex, don't you think i have a mind of my own?

Alex, he's captain of eight varsity teams.

Alex, I changed my mind. I don't want to wear this.

Alex, I don't have to tell you that.

Alex, I have nothing to say to you.

Alex, I know what it's like

Alex, I want you to come home with me now.

Alex, it's hard to know when to interfere

Alex, look, I could ask Pete to leave,

Alex, maybe you're getting a little carried away here.

Alex, Pete being here right now

Alex, the Carlton is a restricted club.

Alex, this is Pete drucker.

Alex, uh, you sound pretty serious about Stephanie.

Alex, what time did you get in last night?

Alex, what's an or...

Alex, you acted on your feelings tonight

Alex, you and Stephanie

Alex, you're a young man.

Alex: * birds do it

Alex: Adler's grocery!

Alex!

Alex! Will you stop pacing? You're making me nervous!

Alex?

Alex.

Alex. Alex. I've got to talk to you.

Alex. What are you doing here?

Alex...

Alex...

Alex...

Alex...

Alex...

All curled up by the Christmas tree,

All I'm saying is that the time people spend reading

All right, all right. Come on. They're here.

All right, bye bye.

All right, everybody,

All right, everybody, just stay calm.

All right, go over those choices again.

All right, i think we're all set.

All right, Sam.

All right, very good.

All right! Who wants to see the peace corps slides?

All right.

All right. All right, Mallory, take the flowers.

All right. All right. The men are back.

All right. Guys, you look great

All right. I'll come by your place at 7:00.

All the invitations are out,

All they lost was their door handle and one headlight

All they want to talk about are girls and... and baseball.

Along with numbers for police, fire,

Always worked at my school.

Am I dreaming, or did Sandra Dee just walk in?

Am I gonna be like Mallory

Am I scared?

Am not!

Am not!

An emblem of an entire generation.

And a young lady never beats a boy in sports.

And already you're talking about marriage?

And bill my account, okay?

And destroying life on earth as we know it.

And for really good reasons...

And get crazy for clothes and movie stars?

And going around the world,

And got hurt because of it.

And he buys a new one.

And he hasn't even gotten to first base.

And he's a boy!

And he's trying to take it out.

And I admit, up to now, some of it's been cute.

And I appreciate it... I really do

And I can tell by the way Louie acts

And I don't even want her to talk to you.

And I i want it to be a happy one.

And I make mistakes, like tonight.

And I really feel the absence of her in my life.

And I really hurt your brother's feelings.

And I still want to be Justin's friend, too.

And I think a restricted club is a good place to draw it.

And I thought we had a really good shot at winning.

And I wanted to acknowledge it, that's all.

And I'll tell you something else.

And I'm pretty caught up in it.

And if he wants to have a poster of William Buckley over his bed,

And if I miss him there, I'll drop him a card.

And if the boy is taller.

And if you call now,

And if you get a phone call,

And it's gonna stop.

And it's just kind of nice to see them every year.

And let her check into the holiday inn for the weekend.

And make sure you don't tumble down the stairs.

And Mallory's on her way out, too.

And maybe make them some hot chocolate

And order pizza.

And our congressman.

And reading isn't?

And refusing to hold down a decent job?!

And she keeps rolling into my room

And so you see, it's the responsibility

And some of the boys have accepted.

And spend a day with me like the one you just spent with Alex!

And take this dollar bill instead,

And that you could hold your own in a rumble.

And that's what they gave us.

And that's where the wrestling match started.

And the kids and I will bring in the food, okay?

And the rockefellers have our kid?

And then you'd be standing here asking

And there may be dancers somewhere in the world

And they sing, * I know Jennifer's boyfriend

And they're right at his cutoff level for manliness.

And unless you and Ron can work this out,

And we really don't appreciate the intrusion in our lives.

And we'll cut out the bones and then cut off the...

And when I see Kimberly blanton in a strapless evening gown,

And when I'm mad, I'm loud.

And when to let you go on your own.

And you escaped from a home.

And you know something?

And you never have, either!

And you say things you didn't want to say?

And you were a yutz.

And you won the, uh, swimming competition,

And you won't listen to a word I have to say,

And you'll wind up having a terrific party.

And you're gonna tell me exactly what you've been doing

And your calling here is childish, it's annoying,

And, still, 4th grade boys and girls

And, to tell you the truth, I'm not all that thrilled with you.

And, uh, Suzanne, the golf driving for distance.

And, well, I really want to be a cheerleader.

And..

Any hard feelings about this at all.

Any sign of them yet?

Any torch song will do.

Anybody know the capital of Iowa?

Anything from the store?

Anyway, it was my father's fault.

Anyway, my idea is to have a '50s party.

Anyway...

Apparently, something good has come out of this.

Are a very rare breed.

Are an integral part of a woman's life.

Are mostly a psychological phenomenon.

Are there any without liver?

Are there sprouts in here?

Are you going to that Barry manilow concert tonight?

Are you gonna wear your hair like that

Are you in a school play you didn't tell us about,

Are you kidding?

Are you kidding? I i love Milton Friedman.

Are you kidding?!

Are you meeting the davises up there again? Yeah.

Are you on an official date right now?

Are you sure this is a good idea, Alex?

Are you two pawing at each other again?

Aren't you gonna call him back?

Arrangements.

Artificially high, which stifles the growth of the economy.

As a lullaby?

As early as we could,

As long as she's cute and can cook,

At least I thought there was.

At least the phone stopped ringing, anyway.

At least those are normal kisses

At the paradise hotel in Atlantic city

Attaboy.

Aw, come on, you guys. Lighten up.

Bad news, kids... No sweets, no treats, no meats

Be serious!

Bearing in mind, Alex,

Because he asked her and I didn't.

Because if that's what you're saying, then I say fine.

Because Jennifer and I like to play together.

Because she plays with Justin.

Because that room is 18x24 and our room is 18x26.

Because then i would be the girl

Because two people spend a night together.

Because...

Beer or wine?

Before consciousness raising, before Ms. magazine...

Before he regains his senses!

Before my mother calls again.

Before the guests arrive.

Before you say anything, Alex,

Besides, you figure people will give you bigger tips

Bet I can make up with my wife quicker than you can make up...

Bet we could have more fun with the lights off, Albert.

Better than Barry manilow? Who?

Better than great?

Better... I've come up with a list of safe issues

Between those two rooms.

Big day.

Big stone fireplace,

Big?

Boy, this really isn't my day.

Boy.

Bring me a man's drink. Coffee... black.

Bubba Smith and dick butkus drink light beer,

Buh!

But Alex is Alex

But don't you think you ought to tell her that?

But he wanted to.

But her attitude will change.

But his kindergarten teacher was against it.

But I didn't think I could do it

But I don't know if I can.

But I don't know if I have the guts.

But I had principles. I had beliefs.

But I hope you understand why I felt so strongly

But I know what you were thinking, Alex,

But I never dreamed he was so... Dynamic!

But I really miss the commercials.

But I think the fighting's got to stop.

But I think they need some more chocolate chips.

But I'll tell you one thing,

But I'm 17 years old.

But I'm a person, too.

But I'm not you, dad.

But I'm scared of not living anymore.

But if I recall, your last words to Ron were,

But if I start acting silly, take me home.

But if there's gonna be a way out of this tonight,

But it still hurts.

But it... it would mean going underground.

But it's possible.

But look what we caught in the supermarket!

But no of them is gonna be the first one out there.

But obviously you don't understand

But only by opening yourself up like this

But she's not ready...

But since Alex is the oldest, he's in charge.

But since Alex is the oldest, he's in charge.

But sometimes the human side of me takes over,

But that doesn't mean I have to be his friend.

But that's as far away as I could get it.

But that's not gonna solve anything.

But the evening is still young.

But the last wave left about an hour ago.

But there are none who love their sons more than I love you

But there's a chance they could extend your life for a while.

But these lights must remain on... house rules.

But they're obviously not at this resort this weekend.

But this afternoon, you have to wash her car.

But this morning, I found a copy of the wall street journal

But we have to draw the line somewhere,

But we'd be friends no matter what.

But we're making progress.

But what we have is nothing more

But when she is ready, she wants me to be the guy,

But when you were here yesterday delivering my groceries,

But who knows?

But why would a college girl be calling you for a date?

But y you got to learn to stand up to stuff like that.

But you did pick Justin as a friend,

But you go through the motions.

But, dad!

But, personally, i think you're obnoxious.

But, see, that's what we were taught.

But, uh, cooking and cuteness

But, uh, I think it's worth taking that risk.

But, uh, this place means a lot to me.

But, yeah, I guess it's a date.

But... but it... But it was just one night.

By following that policy, the fed keeps interest rates

Bye.

Cabbie named George.

Can I go, too, grandpa?

Can I make you some pancakes, Jake?

Can I see your invitations, please?

Can we talk about when you're gonna clean it up?

Can we talk?

Can you believe that?

Can you ever hope to...

Can you get them to dance or can't you?

Can you give me a hand here?

Can you hold on a second, Chrissy?

Can you stay for dinner?

Can't you two remember to close the door?

Care to dance, sailor?

Chrissy says if I'm gonna play with Justin all the time,

Chuck Berry? Good.

Cocoa?

Come here, I'll show you what the small fork is for.

Come on in, guys. Welcome to the 1950s.

Come on, Alex. She's not gonna call.

Come on, come on, come on. You all know each other.

Come on, dad. Don't pull this macho stuff with me now!

Come on, Jennifer.

Come on, let's... Let's talk about this.

Come on, your dad isn't thinking about Cuba anymore.

Come on! Just making a joke, Elyse.

Come on. Boys are okay.

Come on. Come on in. Make yourselves at home.

Come on. Let's go.

Coming to bed, honey?

Communication is so important in a relationship.

Connecting this side of the house

Could have a little guy talk.

Could spend some time together.

Could you please sing to me?

Counterclockwise.

Credit?!

Cups, mom.

Customer relationship

Cut it out. You're gonna give me whiplash.

Cute kid.

Dad, a lot can happen in the time they keep you alive.

Dad, are you scared?

Dad, before you say anything more,

Dad, do you have a minute?

Dad, do you want some scrambled eggs?

Dad, have a seat.

Dad, I love you

Dad, it's never too late.

Dad, recent studies show

Dad, sit down for a minute, okay?

Dad!

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Daddy, how long ago was that?

Daddy, why do you and grandpa argue all the time?

Daddy, you never say that

Darn right, dad.

Day.

Depending on some overworked nurse

Despite our age difference,

Did you go hunting this year, grandpa?

Did you go hunting this year, grandpa?

Did you leave my tea in the tea bags?

Did you tell your dad about the first time?

Didn't hear the siren either?

Didn't you say he was gonna be here for dinner?

Do I know how to pick them?

Do me a favor and don't tell your father.

Do what your grandfather says.

Do you have a lot of close friends at school?

Do you know what pawing is?

Do you realize how insulting you're being?

Do you think Alex will be mad

Do you think i could sleep with...

Do you think I want to spend the days I have left

Do you think we may sail around the world this summer?

Do you think we really need them?

Do you two men want your coffee in cups,

Do you want to spend the night here?

Do you, Steven?

Doctor, every neighbor in a six mile radius,

Does Lassie come home or do they get a new dog or what?

Does, uh, that mean I can go out with college guys?

Doesn't coincide with your school vacation.

Doesn't have any members that are black or *******

Doesn't sound like any teenager I know.

Doing god knows what with i know who.

Don't ask.

Don't feel so guilty.

Don't get along very well.

Don't get carried away, okay, mom?

Don't get sarcastic with me, Jennifer.

Don't hop away when I'm talking to you.

Don't look over my left shoulder.

Don't make such a big deal about it.

Don't sing that.

Don't talk too long, okay? I'm expecting an important call.

Don't worry. I'm no fink.

Don't you knock before you enter someone's living room?

Don't you think you should be taking it easy?

Don't you think?

Don't you two have any self control?

Don't you understand what this place stands for?

Door's open. Come on in.

Drop it, okay?

Either of you guys know anything about Polo?

Either that, or he just enjoys setting things on fire.

Eliminating sexual stereotypes,

Elvis? Right. Right.

Elyse, why don't you go? Go on ahead with the girls.

Elyse: Alex. Oh.

Enough confidence in the economy

Environmentalists don't have a bad name!

Eric wouldn't have been interested in you.

Eric, what are you doing here?

Even if you wanted to, it's too late.

Even in a 9 year old,

Even so, we've had some pretty avoidable arguments

Even though I was different from you!

Even when we were out there bunny hopping tonight,

Everything's all right.

Everything's all set.

Everything's set for the party tomorrow...

Excuse me, I...

Excuse me, please.

Excuse me.

Excuse us for a minute.

Faster than you can handle them.

Fellas, I got an idea... Why don't we, uh, saunter over

Fine man. One of the greatest.

Fine.

First event! Here we go!

For 36 hours before serving.

For a long time now.

For boys and girls to be friends.

For letting your hair grow long

For maligning the leaders of the country?!

For one thing, I don't think it's right

For purposely trying to antagonize me?!

For some reason, I pictured us in a ski lodge.

For spitting on every value I ever held?!

For the kids to see

For the past two hours.

For who they are,

For women to be strong in areas like that.

Foreign policy? Offshore oil drilling?

Forward. Right.

Four rackets?

Frankly, I'm above it.

Friend of yours?

Front row, center. I can't believe it.

Funny music and funny skirts...

Gas stations don't give out free maps anymore?

Gee, Mr. Emerson, I'm sorry you're not happy

Gee... I wish I could.

Get off the phone now.

Getting shots and treatments every day,

Girls don't shoot ducks, Mallory.

Girls like Kimberly blanton just don't call guys like you.

Give her your mastercharge

Give me a break!

Give you a safe place to play,

Go ahead, mom.

Go get my dice, Suzanne. They're in the top drawer.

God, when I think of all the petty, little arguments

Going?

Gonna be dead at some point.

Gonna blindfold me?

Good for some groceries and a few laughs?

Good morning, everybody.

Good shooting.

Good thing we don't have any young ladies

Good.

Good.

Good.

Good. You want to go hunting?

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Grand mère. Um...

Grandpa, we're having show and tell at school.

Grandpa's here.

Great day, isn't it?

Great idea. Alex loves you. He loves spending time with you.

Great, except for the taxi.

Great.

Grow up, will you, Jennifer?

Guilt is a useless emotion.

H he was at the shop.

Ha ha ha. My side hurts from laughing.

Half a million people trying to stop a senseless war.

Hamburgers!

Hang in there, guys.

Happy birthday.

Has a lot to do with my parents, you know?

Has anybody read any good books lately?

Has nothing to do with it, Jennifer.

Has nothing to do with what happened last night.

Have you checked all possible treatments?

Have you decided what you're gonna major in in college?

Have you tried everything?

Haven't you had enough?

Having a conversation like this with any of them.

Having a wild party like that.

He didn't show it.

He had me so worked up,

He just won't be around anymore, okay?

He keeps it for a while, he uses it, he enjoys it,

He kept feeding me these corny lines

He kept feeding me these corny lines

He mentioned it at dinner.

He might not be a gentleman with Mallory.

He said he didn't want a repeat

He sees things differently than we do.

He started bugging me about my driving.

He was a crook!

He was not framed!

He was so proper...

He would've been interested in me.

He'll perform live?

He's a boy, and he's awfully nice.

He's a friend.

He's coming over here now.

He's eating the food I delivered.

He's giving a lecture at the college auditorium tonight.

He's here.

He's my favorite economist.

He's not a normal boy.

He's not Alan alda.

He's really cool. All the girls' parents hate him.

He's supposed to be in pain. He's a folk singer.

He's taking a cab here from the airport

He's with the blanton party.

He's wrong, Elyse. They were not invented in Russia.

He's... he's thoughtful, he's sweet, he's...

Head.

Heh...

Hello

Hello, Elyse.

Hello, is this the Carlton country club?

Hello, Jake.

Hello, Jennifer.

Hello, Mr. Keaton.

Hello, pumpkins.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello. I'm fine, daddy.

Helps you to form good relationships with others.

Her name is not Barbie, mom. She just looks like...

Here in town.

Here. Hey, Jennifer.

Hey, come on, it's just a trophy.

Hey, don't worry about a thing.

Hey, Elyse, I don't see anything wrong with it.

Hey, fantastic. Look at that outfit.

Hey, fonzie.

Hey, I know the feeling.

Hey, I was in a hurry. He was about your size.

Hey, ladies. How are you?

Hey, there's no reason we all can't have good, clean fun

Hey, uh, by the way, my name's Stephanie Brooks.

Hey, wait a minute. I didn't know you in 1959.

Hey, wasn't Justin coming home with you?

Hey, we got a fresh batch of melons in at the market.

Hey, what are you doing? I was listening to that.

Hey, where is the birthday girl?

Hey!

Hey!

Hey. Hey, hey.

Hey. Hey, what are you doing with my paper?

Hi, dad.

Hi, Eric.

Hi, Eric.

Hi, grandpa.

Hi, I I'm trying to locate my son, Alex Keaton.

Hi, Justin. Bye, Justin.

Hi, Justin. Hi, sweetie.

Hi, Justin. Hi.

Hi, kids!

Hi, mom.

Hi.

Hi. How are you?

Hi. Sorry I had to answer the door myself.

Hi. You ordered some groceries?

His dad ran out on his family when he was 10,

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hold down the excitement level, dear.

Honestly, dad, you slay me

Honey, since Stephanie came into his life,

Hope you have as much fun as I did.

How 'bout those Cleveland Indians?

How 'bout those Cleveland Indians?

How about those Cleveland Indians?

How are you holding up, Justin?

How are you?

How big?

How big?

How can you be on a date with another guy

How can you be so cynical?

How can you say that?

How come?

How could she do that to me

How could she have misled me like this?

How do you mean that, dad?

How does that grab you?

How much can you possibly have to say?

How often do you get to spend a day with your grandfather?

How was your date with Stephanie?

How was your trip?

How you doing, Keaton? Nice party.

How you doing, Keaton? Nice party.

How?

How'd it go at the recycling center?

How's that?

How's this?

Hunting sounds exciting, grandpa.

Hurry, Gidge! Surf's up!

I always have.

I am not!

I am so glad that we're up here.

I am. And I think there are a lot of kids here

I apologize for getting my master's degree.

I appreciate that.

I appreciate your concern, kids.

I been chopping wood since 6:15.

I bet they were a lot more fun.

I brought you a couple.

I c... I can't today. I've got midterms.

I came to give Mallory these flowers.

I can come along, too, if you'd like.

I can think of something we don't need.

I can't believe how young I looked.

I can't believe people actually dressed like this.

I can't believe this newspaper.

I can't believe what I have to put up with!

I can't believe you guys can watch this.

I can't deal with it now, Alex.

I can't talk.

I can't think of anything else we need.

I come here to visit you for the last time.

I could look at this as a learning experience, couldn't I?

I could see it in his eyes.

I couldn't have a conversation like this

I didn't even see the police car coming.

I didn't have to do anything.

I didn't hit the police car, Elyse.

I didn't know he cared.

I didn't mean to wake you, Steven.

I didn't mind the pop quiz on wines the other night.

I didn't realize you knew so much

I didn't say you cou...

I didn't specify in my letter.

I didn't think so.

I didn't want to hurt his feelings.

I discovered shopping.

I do recall working for Nixon for a couple of weeks in 1960.

I do, dad.

I do.

I don't agree.

I don't believe you.

I don't care what you said, as long as you called

I don't consider a legitimate display of affection pawing.

I don't even get to spend a day with my grandson!

I don't expect to learn anything from these discussions,

I don't know anything about delivering groceries.

I don't know how the bubble gum got in the oven.

I don't know the words to anything else.

I don't know these guys. They could be crashers.

I don't know what happens to you.

I don't know what I was thinking,

I don't know, dad.

I don't know, the way our relationship was...

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know. Did you play with girls when you were 10?

I don't know. I never heard of the '50s.

I don't know. I'm not allowed to look.

I don't like being teased, mom...

I don't like it.

I don't like that.

I don't like your attitude, Steven.

I don't look past her for the bill of rights.

I don't need maps. I never get lost.

I don't really want to see the movie.

I don't talk that way to you.

I don't think he'd notice if we moved out of town.

I don't think I want anything more to do with girls.

I don't think the kids were too impressed

I don't think you were very nice to Justin this afternoon.

I don't understand.

I don't want to bother him.

I don't want to change the world.

I don't want to get in an argument about this.

I don't want to lose them.

I don't want to miss any of the yelling.

I don't want your lousy flowers.

I doubt it. She can't read.

I drink it because it tastes great.

I even brought two gift wrapped melons with me.

I even talked to the Mayo clinic.

I explained that to you, Steven.

I feel so cheap.

I figured it would be

I find myself very attracted to you.

I find that hard to believe.

I forgot to get myself something to drink.

I forgot, Kimberly. What is it did you say you're studying?

I gather you're against recycling?
