Well, the basketball season is practically over. And all through it, Riley's son, Jr., captain of the John J. Boskowitz Junior High School team, has been the most important boy in the world to Riley. Right now we find Riley giving Jr. a few pointers for the closing game of the season tomorrow night.
Now listen, Jr., the kid you got to watch is their forward, Anderson. See? Riley, would you please stop talking basketball and finish your supper? Oh yeah, yeah, just a second. When Daddy's right, he's terrific at throwing passes.
Mm-hmm. You've been out on dates with this guy, huh, babe? Look, Daddy, I was talking about basketball. Don't worry, I'm pretty good at smearing passes, Pop. No, no, no. You gotta steal that ball away from him and shoot a gold.
