the family historian.

Thank you, mom.

It's got film

and flashbulbs and-

Well, you just pose us

and shoot away.

Mom, what did you get?

I get to make us

a indoor picnic.

All right, now we'll see

who's hot and who's not.

Play us some old bop, pop.

Come on, honey.

Dance with me.

I'll teach you how, okay?

Try this.

Everybody,

say "sh*t."

Sh*t.

Enjoy your drinks.

Alex, I've told you young ladies

do not chew gum in public.

I am not a lady,

I'm a teenager.

Teenagers keep

wrigley's in business.

Spit it out.

Carly. A double vodka

martini on the rocks,

Two shirley temples

and vermouth.

- So, where's our host?

- Right over there.

Oh, at ease, major.

This is a party.

Colonel johnson,

I'd like you to meet

my wife carly.

Pleased

to meet you.

How do you do,

colonel?

Carly, hi.

Vera, hi.

Major marshall, it's so good

to meet you at last.

Mrs. Johnson, carly's told me

how kind you've been to her.

Oh, we've been having

so much fun at rehearsals,

haven't we?

I'd like you

to meet my son glenn.

This is mrs. Marshall.

Mrs. Marshall,

how do you do?

Rebecca and alexandra.

You're going to west point

in the fall?

Yes, ma'am, if they'll have me.

They haven't turned down

a johnson in five generations.

They'll be lucky to get you.

I've always said that

vince was born to command

and I was born to demand.

it's lucky you two

found each other.

Would you two like

to play some croquet?

Go on.

Go on, go play.

Okay.

You've got a real bevy

of beauties here, major.

I envy you.

And you are

a flatterer, colonel.

the kids seem

to hit it off real good.

- Alex isn't very shy.

- No, you know she gets

that quality from me.

Lord, you should have seen

when I was pursuing the major.

I just ran him ragged

till I finally let him catch me.

- Hi, girls.

- Hi.

I thought you and mom

were going to another party.

We are.

Mom went over to help

mrs. Johnson with her makeup.

What are you doing?

Probably stay home

and watch tv.

Why don't you go check out

the teen center?

'cause any place

that calls itself

the teen center...

Is probably full of people

who can't make friends.

We've been here two months

and neither one of you

has brought home a friend.

Dad, most of your colleagues

around here...

Are dedicated to a program

of armed nuclear destruction.

I think they're cretins

and that makes their

offspring sub-cretins.

If you have a problem

with sub-cretins, don't sit

at home and complain about it.

Go forth and enlighten them.

Yeah, maybe I'll start the first

teens for test ban club.

That should make me

real popular around here.

Run away from home

and change your name first.

I really

appreciate this, carly.
