Joanie. How's the
sign coming along?
Ooh, I just finished
it. Give me a hand.
Oh, great.
Take your tack and
we'll put it up on the door.
- All right.
- Okay.
I called the hotel
from Fonzie's.
Uh-huh.
Everything's all set.
Mom and Dad are
confirmed for this weekend.
- Oh, what a great gift!
- Yeah.
A second honeymoon
on their 23rd anniversary.
Yeah.
Did you people eat?
"You people"?
Mom, what's the matter?
I'm fine.
I'll fix you a bite
of something.
Uh, they're just
having a little spat.
We'll just ignore it.
Oh, there's Dad.
Oh!
Good morning, Richard, Joanie.
Good morning, Dad.
I'll go to the kitchen.
I'm told that's where I belong.
Uh... nice day.
Prove it.
Dad, what's the matter?
Nothing's the matter.
Oh, listen to this.
Your mother and I took this test
in this magazine and
look what she said.
"If you went out on a
date with your husband,
"how would you rate him?
"'A, ' Wowsville;
'B, ' a fun time;
'C, ' okay; and 'D, ' a drag."
You know what your
mother answered?
"'C, ' okay"!
Can you imagine? "Okay"!
Excuse me, bud.
- What about this?
- Mm-hmm?
"How would you describe
your wife's personality?
"'A, ' super; 'B, ' exciting;
'C, ' average; 'D, ' bearable."
You know what
your father picked?
- "'C, ' average."
- "'C, ' average."
The nerve!
- I'll get it.
- I'll get it.
Ba-dum-ba-dum-bum-bum!
- Happy Anniver...
- Shh!
Mr. C.
Fonzie.
Mrs. C.
How do you do, Arthur?
Richard, would
you tell your father
that all "Mrs. Average"
can come up with
is cold cereal?
Okay.
Uh, all Mrs. Average...
Let's go.
Mr. C., Mrs. C.,
conference time,
over here, right now.
Well, how nice.
I've never been to one
of his conferences before.
Come on, bud.
It's conference time.
"'C, ' okay"!
Now, I probably shouldn't
be meddling in your affairs...
That's true.
But I'm going to anyway.
My favorite middle
class family, here,
is in a middle class spat.
That's true.
Yeah, but aren't you, uh,
forgetting something?
Mmm?
That's right.
Mom, Dad, tomorrow's your
23rd wedding anniversary, right?
So we all chipped in.
We got you what we think is
a very special surprise present.
It's gonna knock your socks off!
A weekend at the, uh,
Holiday Shores Lodge.
The same place you
spent your honeymoon.
I-I can't go.
I-I have to have my
hair done tomorrow.
Shortcake... took care of that.
Changed your appointment
to Tuesday, Mom.
Now, look, it's a 55-mile
drive to Lake Geneva
and the DeSoto has
to be tuned up and...
- Heyyy!
- That figures.
That's it! No more excuses.
Come on, Snookums.
Snookums?
Yeah.
That's what Mom called Dad
on their first
honeymoon. Snookums.
Yeah, but, uh, look,
it looks like it's gonna
rain out there, you know?
And you called her Babycakes.
That's right.
But we haven't packed.
Yeah, and the traffic is
terrible at this time of day.
The bags are in the car.
Yeah, Babycakes,
yours are in the trunk
and, uh, Snookums,
yours are in the back seat.
That's right.
There is nothing
more to discuss.
Maybe we could get
our old room, 325.
It was 324.
Howard, no, it wasn't.
- It was...
- I remember,
it faced the lake, it was 325.
It was 324, Marion,
and I'll prove it to you.
I'll drive!
Good, I'll be in the back seat!
Have a nice time.
Have a nice time, Mom.
Happy anniversary.
Hey, huh, huh?
Room 325, huh?
I'm never wrong.
You know, I don't remember
carrying up my own
luggage last time.
Sure you do, Howard.
Don't you remember?
You wanted to save the tip.
Howard, the room's
hardly changed.
It's changed some, Marion.
Oh, I wonder if there's still
that romantic view of
the lake from this window?
Oh, Howard, a tree.
Romantic view, huh?
Looks like you'll have
to wait till the leaves fall.
Now, Howard, don't be cranky.
Let's just make the best of it.
Ah, you're right.
You know...
you did look quite beautiful
in the moonlight
by this window...
Babycakes.
Thank you, Snookums.
It was exciting, wasn't it?
Yes, it was.
Think we can get the old...
the old excitement back again?
Well, that's what second
honeymoons are for, aren't they?
Oh, Howard.
Oh, let's try. Let's...
Let's try to make
everything just the same way
that it was before,
the-the room, the mood...
just everything.
Everything?
Everything!
Oh, that sounds great
to me, Babycakes.
- Oh, but first, Howard, Howard...
- Huh?
If we're gonna have
everything just the same,
this table was down here,
right by the dresser.
You push that one,
I'll push this one, okay?
Okay.
There.
Now, if we could just
get one big bedspread...
Marion!
Oh, I almost forgot.
The champagne.
I've taken care of that.
Now, let's see. What
did we do next, huh?
Well, while I was unpacking,
you were hiding in the bathroom.
Let's skip that part this time.
Oh...
Room service!
- Oh.
- Oh, goody!
- That's the champagne.
- Mmm.
I'll get the glasses.
Come in.
The champagne you ordered.
Yeah, that's right.
My name is Otto.
I hear that people
who order champagne,
they are big tippers, eh?
Just put it on the table, Otto.
Yes, sir!
We'll put it right on the table.
You moved the table!
Now I gotta vacuum!
Ooh... hey.
Hey!
- Wait a minute, wait a minute...
- Yeah?
Didn't you work here when we
were here last, 23 years ago?
Well, my, uh, my
brother and I, Bruno,
- we owned the hotel almost 30 years.
- Yeah.
And we still got the mortgage.
Oh, oh, oh.
Ah, here you are.
Wow.
A whole quarter.
Plenty more where
that came from.
You brought the
whole roll, didn't you?
All right, thank you very much.
He was an ingrate then...
Marion, come on,
what's taking you so long?
Oh, I, uh, just had to
rearrange the bathroom, dear.
The towels were
on the wrong side
and I had to unwrap all the...
Yes, never mind, sweetheart,
just unwrap the glasses
while I open the champagne, huh?
There we go.
There.
A little of the
bubbly for you...
and a little of
the bubbly for me.
To us!
Oh, no, Howard, not yet!
What?
What now, Marion?
Don't you remember?
I was in the bathroom
and you were sitting on
the bed with the two glasses
and then you called out,
"Yoo-hoo, Babycakes."
"Yoo-hoo, Babycakes"?
Do we have to be
that exact, Marion?
Oh, Howard...
All right.
Now, let's see...
She was in the bathroom...
and I was lying
on the bed... Whoa!
Howard?
Howard?
Did you get hurt, dear?
Howard?
Where are you, Howard?
Would you kindly sit down,
please, enjoy your dinner,
and I shall be back shortly.
Pick up that salad!
Oh, Howard, look,
there's our old table.
Let's sit there.
Well, Marion, there's
someone sitting there.
Oh, I'm sure he won't mind,
there's plenty of other tables.
No, but look,
sweetheart, you can't...
- Excuse me.
- Uh...
Uh, my husband would
like to ask you a question.
- Go ahead, Howard.
- Yeah.
- Uh, good evening.
- Good evening.
Uh, you see, we're-we're
on our second honeymoon
and, heh, we had this very
same table many, many years ago,
and, well, it's
kind of sentimental
and we were wondering, would
you mind moving to another table?
Sport, come here.
Sport?
You can't have this table.
I can't.
You see, I'm
meeting a lady friend.
Oh, a lady friend.
Who's not my wife.
She's not...?
And I have to get a
good look at the door.
The door...
And you're in my way.
Ah.
What'd he say, dear?
He says we can't have the table
because he's waiting
for a lady friend.
He's gotta keep
an eye on the door
in case his wife catches him.
Let's get out of here.
Why, the nasty man!
No, Marion!
Will you just go over there
and sit at the piano bar, please?
Oh, wasn't this on the other
side of the room before?
Now, look, sweetheart.
I have rearranged enough
furniture for one day.
I'm not going to
move the piano bar.
Now, come on, let's
just sit down, huh?
Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen.
The Blue Lagoon
now proudly presents,
for your dining and
listening pleasure,
the sensational keyboard
talent of Mr. Danny Cotter!
Thanks for that
great introduction.
Marion, isn't that
the same piano player
that was here 23 years ago?
Ooh, you're right.
At last, something
is exactly the same.
Yeah.
We remember your playing
when we were here 23 years ago.
Lady, that was my father!
Oh.
Uh, do you remember
"Moonlight in Vermont"?
My husband and I danced
to that on our wedding night.
I don't think so.
I'm not a jukebox.
Now I remember it.
♪♪
No. No, no, that-that's
"Moonlight Becomes You."
Look, your father used to play
"Moonlight in Vermont."
Can't you play it?
What's the difference?
A moon's a moon.
Cocktails for dinner?
Yeah, bring us a couple
of vodka martinis, please.
- Martinis.
- Oh, wait, Howard. -Hm?
We didn't have martinis
on our honeymoon.
- We each had a stingray.
- Oh, oh.
- Remember?
- Yeah. Uh, make that two stingrays.
Very good.
I think I've got it now.
♪♪
Oh, Howard, he won't
play "Moonlight in Vermont."
Would you fix him?
What do you want
me to do, Marion?
Well, pay him so that he will
play "Moonlight in Vermont."
Well, why should I pay him if
he doesn't know how to play it?
Now, listen, Marion, I
almost threw my back out
falling between two beds,
I could've gotten beaten up
by a man who's cheating
on his wife, and now
you want me to
fix the piano player.
Now, that's asking an awful
lot for just an okay date, Marion.
You know, I
really think it's silly
to try and relive the past.
Howard, it isn't silly.
Oh, this isn't working at all.
It's your fault...
You're just not trying.
I'm going to the room.
I'm gonna tell your wife!
She knows my wife?
She knows Gladys!
I got to get out of here.
Drinks for Cunningham!
The stingrays.
Fresh pineapples
are out of season,
so we had to use the canned.
Where is... Mrs. Cunningham?
She went upstairs.
Oh. You want I should
take the drink up to her?
No. I think you better
leave it right here.
Looks like it's gonna
be a long night.

Hi.
Hi.
I'm looking for a man.
I-I'm sorry. I'm married.
Oh. Well, actually,
I'm looking for a man
who's supposed to meet me here.
He was sitting at that table.
Oh, uh, well, he
left a little while ago.
It figures.
Stood up again.
And it's so hard
for me to meet men.
I never know what to talk about,
what to say.
Want to buy me a drink?
Jiminy Crickets.
Oh, no, nothing fancy like that.
Just a scotch.
I'm footloose and fancy-free.
My feet hurt and
I have children.
Listen, you seem to be
a very nice young lady.
Would you like to
do me a big favor?

Have a nice life

Oh, Howard,
I-I just wanted it to
be like our honeymoon.
I wanted to dance to
"Moonlight in Vermont."
Hmm. Somehow, Marion,
I just can't recall you dancing
with the bellhop 23 years ago.
If I feel like
dancing, I'll dance.
If I feel like being exciting,
I'll just be exciting.
No magazine test is
gonna tell me I'm average,
nobody's gonna
tell me that I'm a "C."
I'm gonna sit here,
I'm gonna eat my steak
and potatoes and peas...
Average dinner.
Oh... Howard,
I guess I am just a "C."
I've always been average.
So what?
So you're an average
and I'm an okay.
I was an okay date
when you first met me
and I'm an okay date now.
We're both a couple
of "C" s, Marion.
Mr. and Mrs. C.
But I'll tell you something:
If I have to be a "C,"
I'm glad I have someone
as wonderful as you
to be one with me.
Oh... Howard.
You know something?
Hmm?
We may be "C" s by ourselves,
- but together, we're an "A."
- Mmm.
Otherwise, why would
our children and Arthur
go to all this
trouble to give us
this wonderful, wonderful
second honeymoon?
Marion...
I could have not put it
in better words myself.
And you're right, Howard.
You can't relive the past.

Good news!
The broken pipe at Arnold's

Gonna be able to get it fixed
and Al's gonna be back
in business tomorrow.
Great, great!
Well, just-just
don't forget that, uh,
we're able to use this house
due to the courtesy
of Mom and Dad,
who've donated the
premises in absentia.
Mom and Dad are on
their second honeymoon.
Ooh!
Yeah.
Yeah, they didn't get
it right the first time.
Ha ha.
Even in the
Annex, I still got it.
I have an announcement to make.
Even though we're in the Annex,
ah, the quality of my
food will not suffer.
I want you to know that
all the Arnoldburgers
will have that same
taste as always.
- Ah...
- Hit it, guys!
Home sweet home, Howard.
What's going on in there?
All right!
Thanks for the solo spot, guys.
Cut it out.
Well, thank you for the welcome.
I'm overwhelmed!
Marion...
Richard, I'm sure there's
an explanation for this.
Well, there is, there is.
But, uh, man-to-man, Dad,
how come you came home so soon?
Well, it's a long story,
but a nice one,
right, Babycakes?
Right, Snookums.
You know how to play
"Moonlight in Vermont"?
Yeah, sure we know it,
but nobody wants
to hear that song.
Yeah, no one wants to hear that.
Hold it!
This fabumondo couple
is having an
anniversary tomorrow.
It happens to be one
of my favorite tunes.
Why don't you play
them their song, huh?
- All right.
- All right.
Just a little anniversary humor.
Take it away.
Good-bye.
We'll do it again
tomorrow night.
Marion!
Well, don't worry.
We-we'll clean everything
up tomorrow, and uh...
Yeah, we'll clean everything up.
Happy anniversary.
I hope you enjoyed your present.
Oh, Holiday Shores
was just beautiful.
Thanks again, kids.
That's okay.
Well, uh, see you in
the morning, Mr. Okay.
Good night, Mrs. Average.
We love you.
Oh, good night.
What are you thinking of at
a time like this, Snookums?
Food, Marion.
We haven't eaten yet, remember?
Oh, that's right.
Uh, do you have any more
Arnoldburgers in there, Al?
Oh, gee, Howard, I'd like
to fix something up for you,
but I got a late date.
There's a lot of food
in the refrigerator,
just help yourself.
Oh, oh, that's probably her now.
I told her to pick me up here.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I felt sorry for her.

Let's just make the best of it.
Ah, you're right.
You know...
you did look quite beautiful
in the moonlight
by this window...
Babycakes.
Thank you, Snookums.
It was exciting, wasn't it?
Yes, it was.
Think we can get the old...
the old excitement back again?
Well, that's what second
honeymoons are for, aren't they?
Oh, Howard.
Oh, let's try. Let's...
Let's try to make
everything just the same way
that it was before,
the-the room, the mood...
just everything.
Everything?
Everything!
Oh, that sounds great
to me, Babycakes.
- Oh, but first, Howard, Howard...
- Huh?
If we're gonna have
everything just the same,
this table was down here,
right by the dresser.
You push that one,
I'll push this one, okay?
Okay.
There.
Now, if we could just
get one big bedspread...
Marion!
Oh, I almost forgot.
The champagne.
I've taken care of that.
Now, let's see. What
did we do next, huh?
Well, while I was unpacking,
you were hiding in the bathroom.
Let's skip that part this time.
Oh...
Room service!
- Oh.
- Oh, goody!
- That's the champagne.
- Mmm.
I'll get the glasses.
Come in.
The champagne you ordered.
Yeah, that's right.
My name is Otto.
I hear that people
who order champagne,
they are big tippers, eh?
Just put it on the table, Otto.
Yes, sir!
We'll put it right on the table.
You moved the table!
Now I gotta vacuum!
Ooh... hey.
Hey!
- Wait a minute, wait a minute...
- Yeah?
Didn't you work here when we
were here last, 23 years ago?
Well, my, uh, my
brother and I, Bruno,
- we owned the hotel almost 30 years.
- Yeah.
And we still got the mortgage.
Oh, oh, oh.
Ah, here you are.
Wow.
A whole quarter.
Plenty more where
that came from.
You brought the
whole roll, didn't you?
All right, thank you very much.
He was an ingrate then...
Marion, come on,
what's taking you so long?
Oh, I, uh, just had to
rearrange the bathroom, dear.
The towels were
on the wrong side
and I had to unwrap all the...
Yes, never mind, sweetheart,
just unwrap the glasses
while I open the champagne, huh?
There we go.
There.
A little of the
bubbly for you...
and a little of
the bubbly for me.
To us!
Oh, no, Howard, not yet!
What?
What now, Marion?
Don't you remember?
I was in the bathroom
and you were sitting on
the bed with the two glasses
and then you called out,
"Yoo-hoo, Babycakes."
"Yoo-hoo, Babycakes"?
Do we have to be
that exact, Marion?
Oh, Howard...
All right.
Now, let's see...
She was in the bathroom...
and I was lying
on the bed... Whoa!
Howard?
Howard?
Did you get hurt, dear?
Howard?
Where are you, Howard?
Would you kindly sit down,
please, enjoy your dinner,
and I shall be back shortly.
Pick up that salad!
Oh, Howard, look,
there's our old table.
Let's sit there.
Well, Marion, there's
someone sitting there.
Oh, I'm sure he won't mind,
there's plenty of other tables.
No, but look,
sweetheart, you can't...
- Excuse me.
- Uh...
Uh, my husband would
like to ask you a question.
- Go ahead, Howard.
- Yeah.
- Uh, good evening.
- Good evening.
Uh, you see, we're-we're
on our second honeymoon
and, heh, we had this very
same table many, many years ago,
and, well, it's
kind of sentimental
and we were wondering, would
you mind moving to another table?
Sport, come here.
Sport?
You can't have this table.
I can't.
You see, I'm
meeting a lady friend.
Oh, a lady friend.
Who's not my wife.
She's not...?
And I have to get a
good look at the door.
The door...
And you're in my way.
Ah.
What'd he say, dear?
He says we can't have the table
because he's waiting
for a lady friend.
He's gotta keep
an eye on the door
in case his wife catches him.
Let's get out of here.
Why, the nasty man!
No, Marion!
Will you just go over there
and sit at the piano bar, please?
Oh, wasn't this on the other
side of the room before?
Now, look, sweetheart.
I have rearranged enough
furniture for one day.
I'm not going to
move the piano bar.
Now, come on, let's
just sit down, huh?
Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen.
The Blue Lagoon
now proudly presents,
for your dining and
listening pleasure,
the sensational keyboard
talent of Mr. Danny Cotter!
Thanks for that
great introduction.
Marion, isn't that
the same piano player
that was here 23 years ago?
Ooh, you're right.
At last, something
is exactly the same.
Yeah.
We remember your playing
when we were here 23 years ago.
Lady, that was my father!
Oh.
Uh, do you remember
"Moonlight in Vermont"?
My husband and I danced
to that on our wedding night.
I don't think so.
I'm not a jukebox.
Now I remember it.

No. No, no, that-that's
"Moonlight Becomes You."
Look, your father used to play
"Moonlight in Vermont."
Can't you play it?
What's the difference?
A moon's a moon.
Cocktails for dinner?
Yeah, bring us a couple
of vodka martinis, please.
- Martinis.
- Oh, wait, Howard. -Hm?
We didn't have martinis
on our honeymoon.
- We each had a stingray.
- Oh, oh.
- Remember?
- Yeah. Uh, make that two stingrays.
Very good.
I think I've got it now.
♪♪
Oh, Howard, he won't
play "Moonlight in Vermont."
Would you fix him?
What do you want
me to do, Marion?
Well, pay him so that he will
play "Moonlight in Vermont."
Well, why should I pay him if
he doesn't know how to play it?
Now, listen, Marion, I
almost threw my back out
falling between two beds,
I could've gotten beaten up
by a man who's cheating
on his wife, and now
you want me to
fix the piano player.
Now, that's asking an awful
lot for just an okay date, Marion.
You know, I
really think it's silly
to try and relive the past.
Howard, it isn't silly.
Oh, this isn't working at all.
It's your fault...
You're just not trying.
I'm going to the room.
I'm gonna tell your wife!
She knows my wife?
She knows Gladys!
I got to get out of here.
Drinks for Cunningham!
The stingrays.
Fresh pineapples
are out of season,
so we had to use the canned.
Where is... Mrs. Cunningham?
She went upstairs.
Oh. You want I should
take the drink up to her?
No. I think you better
leave it right here.

be a long night.

I wanted to dance to

Hmm. Somehow, Marion,
I just can't recall you dancing
with the bellhop 23 years ago.
If I feel like
dancing, I'll dance.
If I feel like being exciting,
I'll just be exciting.

Oh... Howard,
I guess I am just a "C."
I've always been average.
So what?
So you're an average
and I'm an okay.
I was an okay date
when you first met me
and I'm an okay date now.
We're both a couple

You know something?
Hmm?
We may be "C" s by ourselves,

Otherwise, why would
our children and Arthur

this wonderful, wonderful
second honeymoon?

I could have not put it
in better words myself.
And you're right, Howard.

Yeah, no one wants to hear that.

Why don't you play
