Charly Page #5

...until the stars fall from the sky

and the Earth stops spinning.

No, seriously, Mark.

Do you honestly believe

two people can be so happy together...

...they'd want it to last forever?

Happily ever after?

It's kind of a clichd notion, no?

Yeah, I think so.

What does that mean?

Happily ever after?

After what? After taxes?

After the divorce?

Darling, maybe it means a surprise,

"They are happy after all."

Where is all this coming from?

Is that desert air getting to you?

Don't you ever wonder

if there's something more?

Life is for fun.

Take the chances that it gives you...

...and make the best of it.

What else is there?

That's just it. I don't know.

Sure New York has its museums,

Broadway, two good baseball teams...

...but there was one thing it didn't have

and I wanted Charly to experience it.

Excuse me.

Yes, you.

Is the fishing any better over there?

We are having no luck over here.

Sorry!

Don't tell me it's a fish finder, too.

Time to move.

You know, you might have more luck

if you just snuck up on the little fishes.

You know, catch them by surprise.

It's just a tire.

That is no tire.

I got me a fish.

- What do I do?

- Set the hook!

Set it Where?

Call me Ishmael.

Look out for the rookie.

C'mon little fishy c'mon.

Come to mamma.

It's kind of little.

I suppose you know why

we've asked you all here this morning.

Because some of you have been

putting marshmallows on your hooks...

...the Utah Fish and Game Department

has asked me to speak today.

Clinical research just released

indicate that the fish in this lake...

...have 53 percent more cavities.

Do you know what this means?!

It means the UFGD

must now stand the expense...

...of sending a trout

through dental school!

Nice.

- Where are we going Sam?

- Away.

I embarrassed you, is that it?

Go ahead. Say it.

You embarrassed me.

No, Sam, this is where you stop rowing

and throw water on me.

It's what we call a water fight.

Can you say that for me, dear?

"Water fight."

It's one of those happy, spontaneous

things people do in this dull world.

You've got no sense of fun.

- Life is for laughing.

- I laugh.

No, you smile faintly.

No good. Too forced.

It's not spontaneous.

I laugh responsibly.

Could you define that for us, Senator?

After the work is done, if there's

time left over, I laugh and have fun.

Try again. Sam, there's never

any time when the work is done.

You have to laugh during the work.

What would happen

if this were suddenly to disappear?

- Come on, Charly.

- Would the world stop spinning?

Would your universe

careen out of space?

Very funny, now come on.

You want it? You'll have to get it.
