I forgot, Red slipped me a fiver|for the strongbox.

How much have we saved now?|- 31 bucks.

Plus the six for babysitting tonight.|- Plus the five Red just slipped me.

So we've got 44.|- 42.

Wow, check this out!

Tear that old sucker off the wall.

I'm really getting into this!|I wish we could go tomorrow.

Me too.

Gar said the best run was here|across Europe. He rode by himself.

You should get some of those...|- Map tacks. - Right.

I want to go to every place|I've ever read about.

Those cities our relatives came from.

Not mine. We're Americans.|- Only Indians were Americans first.

The rest come from somewhere else.|Like Paris maybe, or London.

Or Rome...

Vienna...

Barcelona. - Oh. Like my grandparents|are from Hungary or Budapest.

Budapest is in Hungary, Ben.|- No kidding, is it?

That jacket's the only thing of yours|that's ever gonna be on my bed again.

OK with me, baby. - What the hell'd|you come back for anyway?

Winters are cold back East|and I wanted to see...

Rocky.

Can someone tell me|how the Trojan War began?

Those light bulbs|over your heads are blinding me.

OK, Rocky, give it a shot.

There was this huge wedding|and all the goddesses were invited.

All except for one goddess.|She got really pissed off.

That's the fact part.|Now, the myth part goes that

she sent this golden apple|that said "For the most beautiful. "

This dude, Paris, was supposed to|judge who gets the apple, right?

Like the Miss Goddess Contest.|He's the only judge. Lucky guy.

All the goddesses wanna get picked|so one goes up to Paris and says,

"If you pick me, I'm gonna give you|this really hot wench named Helen. "

But Helen was already married.

Paris saw her and flipped out

because she was so beautiful.|She had a perfect body and a face...

Face|that could launch 1,000 ships.

Somebody said that. So anyway,

her old man has this huge|hollow wooden horse built

and puts all his armies into it|and wheels it over to Troy and says,

"Hey, man, got a present for you. "

They open the gates, wheel in|this horse and say, "Wow, big horse. "

Night comes, and the horse opens up|and all the armies come out,

and then...

And that's how the Trojan War began.

Something like that.

Thank you, Rocky, we're impressed.|- Thanks.

Let me read you something...

Not bad. How about helping me?

How? - Tutor me.|This guy almost flunked me last year.

It's gonna cost you.

3 bucks an hour.|- 3 bucks!

3 bucks?|- I don't work for free.

Pay it, cheapskate, you need all|the help you can get. - Thanks a lot!

Hi, Mom.|- Hi.

I got an A on a poem|I wrote in English class.

You've been a busy little boy!|- Want me to read it to you?

Why not?
