Perfect Strangers

* Sometimes the world looks perfect

* Nothing to rearrange

* Sometimes you just get a feeling

* Like you need some kinda change

* No matter what the odds are this time

* Nothings gonna stand in my way

* This flame in my heart

* Like a long lost friend

* Gives every dark street a light at the end

* Standing tall

* On the wings of my dream

* Rise and fall

* On the wings of my dream

* The rain and thunder

* The wind and haze

* I'm bound for better days

* It's my life and my dream

* Nothing's gonna stop me now *

Balki, that was a wonderful Myposian dinner.

Oh. (CHUCKLES)

Don't spoil it for me by telling me what it was.

Okay, cousin.

I'll get it.

Hi! Hey, guys.

I love the Big Brothers!

First time I ever saw them on Saturday Night Live,

I said to myself, "Those guys are good."

No, no, Balki, that's the Blues Brothers.

Blues Brothers.

The Big Brothers is a charitable organization.

Men who belong to it act as big brothers to boys who need fathers.

Oh!

We're roller-skating in a ten-hour marathon

to help raise money for them.

A marathon? I love marathons.

Will you get to meet Jerry Lewis?

No, Balki. Marathon. Marathon.

Not a telethon.

Oh!

Anyway, uh, we thought

you guys might like to sponsor us.

You know, pledge money for every hour we skate.

Well, Balki and I will be happy to sponsor you. Great.

I'll get that.

How much do you want?

How much you got?

Hi. Hi.

Hi, Jennifer, Mary Anne.

Hi, Grant. Hey.

Uh, Larry, Balki...

This is Grant Larkin.

How you do you? Okay.

Grant's a flight attendant on our crew.

Oh, I just came by to drop off my pledge sheets

for the skate-a-thon. Oh! Thanks, Grant.

Grant is a terrific fundraiser.

Last year, this wonderful guy

raised $1,000 for Big Brothers.

You're kidding me! He's just amazing.

You should have seen him. For those little, tiny...

He's incredible. That's wonderful!

It was nothing. Oh!

Oh, you're being modest.

It was more than anyone else raised.

Oh! Oh, a... A skate-a-thon!

A roller-skating marathon!

Y...you know, instead of, uh, pledging money

I should be skating myself.

Do you roller-skate? Do I roller-skate?

The kids used to call me Wheels Appleton.

Kids can be so cruel.

No. No, no, they called me that because I was a terrific skater.

Larry, I never knew that.

Here, here's a pledge sheet.

That's great. We need all the help we can get.

Well, I gotta go. I'll see you guys on Saturday.

See you. Great.

Bye-bye. Bye.

Balki, why don't you skate, too?

Well, maybe Wheels can teach you.

Would you, Wheels?

Why not?

I'm so excited.

Learning how to skate at the feet of Wheels Appleton.

Tell me, Wheels...

how long will it take me to learn how to skate?

I don't know.

Ha! How long did it take you to learn how to skate?

I don't know.

I never had a pair of skates on before in my life.

I hate to dig up a can of worms

but...don't that mean you lied to Jennifer

about being able to skate?

Well, what was I supposed to do?

Let Grant raise all that money for charity

and...and be a big hero for Jennifer?

Well, cousin, you can't keep her by lying.

Lord knows you've tried.

And every time you do,

you wind up with a pocketful of babastiki.

It's time to talk about reality.

It's time to talk about the hard facts.

It's time to talk about the wrath of the Gabuggis.

"The Gabuggis?"

The Gabuggis.

The Myposian fib furies.

Eva, Magda and Zsa Zsa.

They are the daughters of Vertash,

God of Truth,

and his lovely wife Succotash.

Each of the Gabuggis

has one penetrating eye

right in the middle of her nose bridge

that sees everything.

And they punish those who dishonor truth

by telling lies.

Fascinating.

Balki, I'm sure I'll be safe

from the wrath of these Gabuggis

because I am doing a good thing.

I am helping children.

And even Eva, Magda, and Zsa Zsa

won't mind if I tell a teeny-tiny, itsy-bitsy

little white lie.

Pop!

To help children? But, cousin, it's...

Children.

Helping little children.

Cousin, you know, I... I...

I know there's an error in logic here somewhere

but I can't put my finger on it.

Well, while you're trying to figure out

where to put your finger,

Well, how we do that? How?

I figure the quickest way to learn

is to keep these skates on

and never take them off.

Come on. Let's give it a try.

It'll be easy.

There. See? What did I tell you?

Well, we're not moving yet.

If the sport was roller-standing we'd get a ten.

All right.

Now we wanna start moving, okay?

Okay. Here we go.

Huh?

See? Yes.

See? Yes.

Whoa...

See? Huh?

We are doing great!

We're still just roller-walking.

All we need is a little speed.

There, you see?

Learning to roller-skate

is just like learning to ride a bicycle.

All we need is speed.

Now, you give me a push.

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Larry's good.

Hello?

Hello? Hello?

There's your mail, by the way.

Oh, cousin, skating is so simple.

And so grand.

So free.

So fluid.

So...

Swan-like.

So light, so airy.

So cholesterol-free.

I told you it was easy to learn.

You're both on roller skates.
