They weren't

robbing a bank.

Thank you.

They're still

talking?

Probably

busting us.

Not Terry.

Give me those!

I can read lips.

"live to ride."

"ride to live."

A way of life.

"a way of life"?

That's just a logo

they use to sell the bike.

Who cares about reading lips?

I'm reading body language.

And they are talking

a mile a minute.

Oh, yeah.

What are

they saying?

She's asking

him out.

no way.

Way.

Woof, woof!

Whoa.

Okay.

You can-

Right.

it was

a teen-age wedding

and the old folks

wished them well

we could see

that Pierre

did truly love

the mademoiselle

Wow.

Killer.

Cool, mom.

See, mom?

You can look good when you try.

Dad.

Yes.

Terrence Barnett.

It won't bite.

c'est la vie

say the old folks

it goes to show

you never can tell

they had

a hi-fi phono

Put your feet on.

If you'd like,

you can hang onto the back

Or you can put your hands

around my waist.

Okay.

Whatever you like.

Jordy, you listen to

Mrs. Rice, okay?!

Yes, father, sir!

You okay?

Woof, woof!

We are good.

c'est la vie

say the old folks

it goes to show

you never can tell

we think you spend too much

time alone, Jordan.

We've gotta do

something about it.

Oh, he put it-

I don't know

how to play poker.

That's okay, Jordan,

we'll teach you.

The main thing

you need to know

Is you have to

bet something.

But I don't

have any money.

That's okay, too.

I'm sure we can

think of something.

Maybe we can

bet chores?

Chores!

What kind of chores?

Stuff your parents make

you do around the house

So they feel

you're useful.

You know,

chores.

I do all the chores

around here.

You won't have to.

If you win, that is.

Deal.

This Claude guy-

Do you see him?

Every day.

Oh, really?

Really and

unfortunately.

He's the head honcho

at the institute.

I used to be

his assistant,

But we had

a parting of the ways.

Oh. Would it be tactless

to ask over what?

Third party.

Oh, I apologize,

never mind-

A dolphin.

"a dolphin."

I happened to think

that the dolphin

Was more important

than his career.

I agree.

hey, c'mon,

join us!

C'mon!

You have three of a kind.

That's excellent.

Yeah, but I have

the two of clubs.

Two of clubs

beats anything.

Sorry, man.

Gonna have to

clean my room for a month.

sorry.

Whoa!

Let's see, Jordan,

you've got tens and jacks.

That's two pair.

That's real good-

But, I have a three,

a five,

A seven, a Jack

and a Queen.

Cutthroat straight.

That beats you, sorry.

You're gonna have to

water our plants for...

Two weeks.

We better

get going.

We will...

Eventually.

You said that dolphins

are telepathic.

How about people?

Some people.

Your bet.
