Episode 8816-516 "CAN I SAY SOMETHING PLEASE?"

Time marches on, but some things never change. Cliff rents his favorite children's movies for Rudy's party, but Rudy prefers more contemporary titles . Rudy patiently explains the facts of life, "It's a New Age. Dad - get with it!" and asks for permission to go to bed when she feels like it, instead of at 9:30. Crafty Cliff agrees, knowing full well that Rudy's enthusiasm for staying awake all night will wane in a week. She actually lasts four days, but not without first seeing (and borrowing hard-boiled dialogue from) every late night 30's gangster movie on the tube.
