Parker Lewis Can't Lose (1990–1993): Season 3, Episode 22 - The Last Supper - full transcript
A bottle episode and clip show. The Atlas Diner is closing down, so all of the show's regulars are there to mark this end of an era. Each of them play their favorite (stock) tune on the diner's jukebox and reminisce.
Great job!
Mmm. Hmm?
I love it!
Welcome to Atlas Diner's
50th anniversary celebration.
Before Club MTV,
before Soul Train,
even before American Bandstand.
The Atlas Diner was, and is,
a Santo Domingo tradition.
I'd just like to welcome
everyone here tonight.
It's an honor, being a part
of Atlas Diner's great history.
There are a lot of
wonderful memories in this
chrome and Formica palace.
Hank's right.
The Atlas is full of memories.
And some of
the greatest memories
belong to me and my buds.
This place
brings it all together,
good friends, good times,
good feelings,
in total synchronicity.
Gentlemen, synchronize Swatches!
Ow...
This hour belongs
to rock n' roll!
Jerry, you can't keep
running away from
everything that scares you.
Picture yourself down the road.
A man who never dated.
Going to the scope, sirs.
Mail's in.
Have I ever let a best bud down?
I brought your guitar, sir.
Well, here we are.
Three guys doing what guys do.
Get out of our way,
we're reckless,
we're dangerous, we're primal.
- Whoo!
- Whoo!
So uh, what do you guys
want to do now?
Whoa.
What happened, sir?
I don't know, Jer.
Somethin' about that jukebox.
Atlas Diner is not about
scarfing down a slab of pie
and a cup of joe.
It's a place to sit down
with your friends,
and share more than a meal.
Truth is,
Atlas is more than my business.
It's my home.
And now,
it's all going down
the toilet.
I lost my lease
and they're gonna tear
down the diner
and put up a strip mall.
- Four, five and five is 10.
- Thanks for coming.
And there's nothing
I can do about it.
Nothing!
Nothing at all!
- It's all over.
- The diner is lost.
Gone.
Hold me.
Hold me!
- Oh, uh...
- -I won't let you give up, Hank!
- You gotta find a way to buy out the owners.
- Stop that strip mall!
Hell, ask your father
for the money.
Atlas is the heart and soul
of Santo Domingo.
It's the lifeblood
of the people.
It's the only job I can get.
Kohler land a loan
from his father?
He's got as much chance
of landing me.
Which is no chance.
Wait. In a twisted way,
Mikey's right.
My father's greatest pleasure
in life is telling me,
"I told you so."
I'm giving him an opportunity
to pound me with it
every day
for the rest of his life.
It's ringing.
Rats!
I got his answering machine.
- Dad, it's Hank.
- Your son, the failure.
I need to talk to you.
It's urgent.
Call me back tonight.
Now all's we have to do is wait.
I'm not really in the mood
for music, Parker.
Annie, this might be
the last quarter we ever put
in this machine.
Let's spend it on our song.

Do you have any more quarters?
You think you children
have got hot memories.
This jukebox is going to have
a meltdown.
- Table for...
- Me.
Table for me.
I need a single.
Is there a table for one?
- It's for Grace Musso.
- Table for one.
I'm alone, Judy.
Alone, alone, alone.
There's a Rick Hayes calling,
something about Saturday night.
Hello, Doctor.
Hello, Grace.
I just wanted to tell you
what a lovely time I had
the other night.
Oh, me too, Doctor.
I was wondering if you could
make any free time for me
this week in your busy schedule.
Impressive, Grace,
you possess the wisdom
of Sandra Day O'Connor
and if you don't mind
my saying,
the body of a table dancer.
Name's Houston.
Rex Houston.
That's right,
there's two of us. T-W-O. Two.
Penny for your thoughts, Grace?
Oh, I was just thinking about
me now and me a week ago.
You mean a week ago,
when you were
a work-obsessed
school administrator
with no recent history of
nor immediate prospects for
any sort of romantic liaison?
I want you!
I hate you, hate you, hate you.
Ugh.
- Turn-ons?
- Well yes, um, weddings, wedding dresses...
Will you consent to ma...
Yes! Yes, I'll ma...
You may kiss the bride.
Your behavior of late
gives a feeling
that is queasy.
Uneasy.
Could it be love?
Poor Ms. Musso.
Take diner closing hard.
Kube understand.
Diner filled with sweet
and wonderful memories of
dear friends and-
meaningful moments.
Mmm. Good fly.
Gym.
Death. Now.
Grr.
Kubiac peeved.
It was him!
Ugh!
Try again.
Uh, Mr. Kubiac...
- Sir, hurting me would be...
- Fun?
Eat now.
I hate when that happens.
Ooh, I've been looking
all over for that.
This place is dead
even before it's dead.
Can't we get some tunes going?
Allow me, Miss Lewis.
But I should warn you,
- this is no ordinary jukebox.
- It's magic.
Gee, Jer, really?
- Maybe...
- Maybe the keyboard elves are living in there
and they're baking us up
some magical songs.
Let's see.
Jerry, oh, Jerry.
Thank you, Miss Lewis.
Love sure is fun, sir.
- Switch to unleaded.
- Nobody's hovering over you.
I said I'd love to do it
Saturday night.
You did?
If you act anything
like you did tonight,
I'd be crazy not to
fall for you.
I mean, he.
He.
- So... This is where
we would...
- We would kiss.
If this were a real date.
But it's not.
Mr. Lewis, Mr. Randall.
We're ready to go home now.
Well... Good night.
Love is hell?
Jerry, you did this?
Well, I... Uh...
Cool!
Yello. Atlas Diner.
- Dad? Listen.
- Dad, I need a loan.
If I can't come up with
my lease money by morning,
I'll lose the diner.
That's right, Dad.
You sure told me so.
How about the loan?
Oh, I see.
Well...
You certainly told me so.
What happened?
He wanted to help,
but he's cash-poor right now.
He just made a major investment
in a strip mall
construction project.
Order in.
Order up. One burger special.
Better make that to go.
Okay, one last time.
This here's your diner.
And this here's our
wrecking ball.
This here's your diner
under our wrecking ball.
Any questions?
There's gotta be a way
to saving the diner.
You know, pulling through
at the last possible moment,
just like they do on TV.
Hi, honey!
I'm home.
Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy!
He's a teenage
rags-to-quiches success story
who's finally getting a taste
of the good life,
Kube-style.
Whether it's spending time
in his own personal ponderosa,
touring his private
bottling plant,
or playing host
to celebrity chum
Dom DeLuise...
Our first bachelorette
is a teacher,
whose hobbies include disco
dancing and rabbit hunting.
Let's give a great big
Dating Game hello
to Grace Musso.
And here she is!
- Hi, Grace.
- Mwah!
All right, so, guys.
What do you say,
she trick or treat or what?
What is she? 40?
Bachelor 2, if I was
a brand new TV set,
how would you turn me on?
Corin Nemec,
Maia Brewton,
Troy Slaten,
and Suzanne Pleshette...
Well, maybe not
Suzanne Pleshette...
Starring in...
My Sibling, My Enemy,
portrait of teenage torment,
tonight at 9:00 on FOX.
I need your fries
and your ketchup.
Cowardice!
Timidity!
Spinelessness!
Parker Lewis in
The Longest Walk.
We'll be right back, after this.
I won't be back.
Daddy, did you bring
us anything?
Just joy, family tranquility,
and security from
the communist threat.
If only things
worked out in real life
like they do on TV.
If they did, someone
would probably step up
and say something like...
I've done it.
I singlehandedly put a stop
to the demolition.
You did? How, Steiner, how?
I used the diner fax machine
to send documentation
of the diner's historical
significance to the governor
in hopes of getting
it declared
an historical landmark.
The governor is reviewing
my findings
and should be sending us
his reply any moment.
Wow!
I have a fax machine!-
Hmm.
Mmm-hmm.
Hmm. Mmm-hmm.
- What does the governor say?
- Will he save the diner?
Well, according to this,
it doesn't look very good.
Usually, I'm not at a loss
for words.
In fact, I'm never
at a loss for words.
But this time...
