Where would we put
all that luggage?
Think about that.
- You're very strong.
- Okay, push!
This is the last holiday
I'm ever going on with you.
Where'd you get all those muscles?
- Come on.
- More, more, more!
- Don't quit now.
- How much further?
It's only a couple million more miles.
A couple of what?
Couple million more miles.
Right up here we're gonna stop.
Keep pushing. Don't quit.
- Mexico next time.
- Hawaii's better.
Hold it, hold it.
That's good.
- Now what you gonna do?
- I'm gonna try to get us some-
- Help?
- Help.
Come on.
Let's have a snowball fight.
Daddy! Daddy!
Come on!
Help me, Daddy!
Yes, do you have the number
for Emergency Road Service?
Thank you, Stan.
If you want a hand with anything,
just give me a shout, Mr. Russell.
I will, thanks.
Mr. Russell?
Catch.
You know that this piece
is going to Seattle too, Estancia?
Yes, sir.
Good.
At first, right after it happened,
I was in shock.
I just functioned automatically.
I didn't feel anything.
And one day, it hit me-
Joanna and Kathy are gone.
I just kept walking around the apartment
saying it over and over: "They're gone."
I guess I was about half crazy.
But that's over four months ago...
and what I've got to do now is
start making demands of myself.
Your first class is next Monday.
I'll set up a meeting tomorrow
with some of the faculty.
You'll remember a lot of them.
That's fine, Robert.
Thanks for everything you've done.
Come on. Everyone's very excited
about you being here.
A well-known alumnus and
distinguished composer like yourself.
Says who?
Distinguished or not,
we're glad you came.
Come on!
Give it to me!
- No!
- Okay, kids, keep it down.
Go into the kitchen,
get yourself some cookies.
By the way, how long are you
planning to stay in that hotel?
- There's plenty of room here.
- No, thanks, Eva.
I think I'm gonna find a house to rent.
I've got some things coming out.
I need a place I can lock myself in
and pound away at the piano all night.
the Historical Preservation Society.
They have some old houses
that I'm sure they rent.
- We'll see what we can come up with.
- Good.
- Mr. Russell?
- Yes.
Hello, I'm Claire Norman.
Why don't you hop in and we'll drive up.
Fine.
- When was the house last occupied?
- Let's see.
About 12 years ago.
It's been with the Historical Society...
for the past 12 years.
There we go.
Wow.
There were plans at one time to
turn it into some kind of a museum.
But I don't know. I guess
a house was meant to be lived in.
Why hasn't it been lived in?
I've only been with the Society
for a year now.
The impression I get is they haven't
tried very hard with this place.
Of course,
it does need a lot of work.
Yeah.
There's some pieces here
that are just stored.
You'd have your pick of them.
You know, whatever you'd like.
Kitchen's in here.
What does it take to maintain
a house of this size?
We have a man
who looks after all these places.
Mr. Tuttle.
And...
this is the music room.
This is really why
I thought of you and this house.
The piano was left here
when the Society took over.
Just too much trouble
to move, really.
It must be in very bad shape.
What are the terms?
Sorry to disturb your composing.
That's all right, Mr. Tuttle.
This has already been composed.
There's a man in front wanting
to deliver a water storage tank.
Oh, okay.
Have you managed
to do any writing?
I'm still working on the second
movement. Same old problem.
Well, maybe the lectures will help,
get some new ideas going.
It's my understanding...
that there are...
twenty-three students registered...
for this series of lectures
Now, we all know that
it's not raining outside.
Unless there's a fire in some other part
of the building we don't know about...
there's an awful lot of people here
However...
we'll know more
after the second lecture.
I'm sure there are many of you...
who may recognize this.
Sounds a little bit better
with an orchestra than a piano.
No, you made it sound fine.
That was a great class.
John's secret is
that he's a natural ham.
Don't go too far.
Excuse me.
- If you can't find your way back-
- I'll send out a search party.
Hi. I'd like you
to meet my mother.
- How do you do, Mrs. Norman?
- How do you do?
This is John Russell.
You remember the Chessman house?
Oh, yes. I'm very pleased
to meet you, Mr. Russell.
- How are you liking the place?
- Fine.
- It's so large.
- Yes.
Ladies and gentlemen,
may I have your attention, please.
I'd like to introduce
Senator Joseph Carmichael-
My God.
He's going to make another speech.
What you're hearing is a lifelong
Republican commenting on a Democrat.
You know how I hate making speeches.
But sometimes,
on a very special occasion...
our magnificent symphony orchestra-
And weren't they fantastic tonight?
Damn right.
- I was just going to get a drink.
- I think I'll join you.
I'll be right back, Mother.
Thank you.
Thank you. Actually,
he's on our board of directors...
at the Historical Preservation Society.
In fact, he's become
our number one philanthropist.
- So, you're getting settled in then?
- Oh, yes.
There's some things at the Society
office that belong to your house.
I'll see if I can
