Now!

Where in the mall?

- The Gazebo.

Hello.

- Dad!

No no no!

God, you're choking me!

I need some air!

How was your day?

- Good - Buckley, go wash your hands!

Go buddy, we'll play after dinner.

- Is Susie to you?

No.

- She's late.

Lindsey Lou, where's your sister?

- What?

Your sister.

- Oh, she had film club.

What's for dinner, hon?

Oh, Shoot.

I hope that was your homework.

Oh hey, you're the Salmon girl, right?

Yeah.

- Remember me? You remember me...

I live right down the street,

Down in the, uh - green house. Mr. Harvey.

Hi.

- Hi, how are ya?

How are your folks doing?

- They're fine.

Good, tell 'em I said hi. You know, you're the perfect person for me to run into...

Because I've just built this thing over here, and I want to get second opinion. Do you mind taking a look?

Oh... actually, Mr. Harvey, I have to get home.

Oh, ok.

I just worked so hard on it, and I guess I got excited for someone to see it, but...

But that's ok. I'll show the other kids in the neighborhood - they're gonna be very excited about it.

Really?

- Oh, Yeah.

It's great, I mean it's really neat.

Come on, it'll take two minutes.

You're probably late already.

I don't see anything.

- You don't?

You're gonna have to be more observant, Susie.

What is it?

I've washed my hands.

- Hey! You gotta dry 'em.

Thanks mom.

Ah, and the salt...

Oh! Not beans...

- What?

Only one.

- One bean?

Pretty neat, huh?

You wanna pork chop, Honey?

- Yes, thank you.

See? Look at your sister. Great eating habits.

But she's older.

I build it for the kids in the neighborhood...

I thought they could use it as a - kind of clubhouse, or I don't know...

You want to be the first one to try it out?

Really?

- Yeah, sure yeah! Go ahead. It'd be fun.

Go ahead.

- Corn and beans.

If you eat them both you can stay up

and watching TV with me.

Ah, neahh...

I'll make her a plate.

That's it - that's it...

Wow! This is neat-o.

She doesn't like beans, so I'm not going to give her any.

Put more - put more on her plate.

I'm gonna make her eat them all.

Why doesn't she get to eat beans?.

- Ok, ok - I'm gonna give her beans.

They're really good.

- Ok, watch this!

That's better.

- Pile them on.

You think Popeye only eats spinach?

There's beans in that can too.

Make yourself at home.

This is really cool Mr. Harvey

- Yeah it's cool, huh?

Yeah, I thought you kids would like a place of your own to, you know - hang out.

Here, have a seat.

Do you like it?

- Yeah.

You think she's still at the mall?

Yeah, probably, should be with Clarissa.

- She could've at least called.

I mean a 14 year old girl knows how to use a telephone.

I understand, I understand. I will deal with her when she gets home.
