A dead fish!

Oh, my god!
A sicilian sign
there's been a hit.

More fish!

It's a bloodbath!

A pox on you!
A pox, I say!

Oh, yeah,
I ordered this.

Hey, who ordered
the fish?

I did.

You know
all dinner orders
go through me.

They go through me, too,
like a locomotive.

Hey, listen, now
that we know this much
about each other,

I need a favor.
I have to borrow
your car.

You just said food
goes right through you.

Why would I
lend you my car?

I want to go downtown,
get my feet scraped,

Maybe get a yogurt.
You know, live.

You're an old lady.

You'll leave the blinker
on all the time.

Ah, a pox on you.

What?

It's my new thing.
Isn't it a giggle?

Yes, it is.
It's a giggle.

A pox on you.

Tell it to your friends...
On the bus.

How about
a ride downtown?

Mama needs
a new pair of feet.

You know I have this
sweet-16 party to plan.

It's our
banker's daughter.

I want it go off
without a hitch.

Lend me your car.

Honey, you're
too old to drive.

This is about the ding
I put in your car.

Ding?
The paramedics had
to get you out of there

With the jaws of life.

They screwed up
your door, not me.

I'm sorry.
The answer's no.

I smite you.

I smite you
with the strength
of a thousand suns.

What?

Uh...A pox on you.

Oh, you're cursing me.

Oh, I get you.

Boy, if it ain't broke,
don't fix it.

Blanche, where
are all the pens?

I threw them out.

I ordered personalized ones
that say,

"compliments
of the golden palace."

Why are you wasting
your time with pens?

We've got this
sweet-16 for our
banker's daughter.

He holds the note
on this hotel.

If this party fails,
the onus is on
all of us.

Wait. What
did you just say?

Onus.

Oh. Never mind.

You're eating
another sandwich?

I haven't been
eating that much.

As per your orders,
blanche,

I'm keeping
the meatball subs
coming.

All right, I'm eating.
Well, I'm frustrated.

That's what
I'm saying.
We need to talk.

I'm sexually frustrated.

I don't want to
talk about this.

It's a fact.

I've replaced my sex drive
with a food drive.

Maybe tonight you'd like
to try a little mexican?

Chuy, are you
coming on to me?

It's just a diversion.
We're running low
on meatballs.

That poor thing. He
doesn't have a prayer,

Because tonight
I have a date with
the most wonderful man

Who's ever come
into my life.

His name is ernie niles.
Ernie...Ooh!

Tonight? We're auditioning
entertainers for the party.

This is important,
blanche.

I'll do it tomorrow.
I need this tonight.

He's such
a charming man.

He's so
witty and bright,

And he's really cute.

Ernie...Ooh!

This is nauseating.

I can't listen to
this. "he's cute."

I've never
met a cute man.
Men are not cute.

If you want cute,
date winnie
the pooh.

Winnie...Ooh!

Well, blanche
still isn't here.

She knows about
these auditions.

We'll start without her.

Mr. Seigel.

All right,
mr. Seigel,

It says you're
an entertainer.

What do you do?

[loud]
I'm a mime!

Are you perhaps
an escaped mime?

Anytime you're ready,
mr. Seigel.

And now...

A man trapped
in a box.

A mime who uses props.
That's unusual.

I'm trapped
in a box!

I had a mime at
my 16th birthday party.

Well, he wasn't
actually a mime.

It was a neighbor
boy who'd been
struck by lightning.

Mr. Seigel,
if you don't
mind me asking,

What made you want
to become a mime?

I like to see the smiles
on people's faces.

Are you smiling?

Hello. This is roland.
Can I help you?

It's a guy
from the department
of social services.

They're checking up
on oliver.

[anglo accent]
hey there, hi there,
ho there.

Could you speak up?

I can hardly hear you

Over the pat boone
in the background.

Hey, good
white guy, man.

Oh.

Oh, she is?

O.K., that's great news.
Thank you.

What's up?

Uh, that was
about oliver's mom.

Apparently,
she's out of rehab,

And the court
feels she's ready
to take oliver back.

Great. That's what you
always wanted for oliver.

So why do I
feel so lousy?

This was always
a temporary arrangement.

Let's go tell
the ladies and oliver.

No. I don't want
to get his hopes up.

Let's not say anything
until his mother
actually shows up.

Man, who you kidding?
The women aren't stupid.

One look at you,
they'll know you're
hiding something.

Then we'll have
to act natural,

Like there's
nothing wrong.

[whistling yankee doodle]

Wait a minute.
What is this?

[stops whistling]

Oh, yeah, yankee doodle.

[whistling yankee doodle]

Oh, girls!

Where have you been?

Oh, girls,
I think I'm in love.

Excuse me?

That means she's
slept with someone.

No. I mean did you
just call us girls?

Uh, no, I didn't.

Yes, you did. You
call me a girl.

You don't live
with girls anymore.

I don't
like blueberries
in my bagels,

Cinnamon
in my coffee,

Baskets full
of bath gels,

And I don't
want to hear about
your personal life.

For the first time,
I had the big "o."

Say what?

The first time
in your life, ever?

Yeah. I thought
I'd had it before,
but I was wrong.

Oh, boy, was I wrong.

Wait a minute.
Not that I care,

But how is it possible,
after all your bragging,

That this
is your first time?

I don't understand it
either.

I think maybe
it's because...

Well, you see,

I've always
thought of myself as
a white tina turner.

Really? In what way?

Her skin is lighter.

Anyway, I'm
seeing him tonight.

Blanche, the party
is in two days.

We've been handling
your auditions,

But the printers
called twice

About approving
the copy on
those hotel pens.

You made
another date?

I'll get
my chores done,

But I have to
do this tonight.

I need this.

I need this.

[deep, throaty voice]
I need this.

O.K., that time
I was just practicing.

Hey, roland. Boy,
that oliver is something.

He's on me again
to take him to
a wrestling match.

This time he wants to
see mud-wrestling mamas.

Can you imagine?

No. I think that's
totally inappropriate.

That's what I said.
It's totally inappropriate.

Good.

Totally inappropriate.

And I'm out 50 bucks.

She's gone.
Blanche is gone again.

The minute
a man comes along,

Blanche can't
work anymore.

I don't know a lot about
blanche's personal life,

But so what
if she likes to date?

I thought that till
this ernie came along.

This is the hump that
broke the camel's back.

That's the straw that
broke the camel's back.

Boy, you don't know much
about her personal life,
do you?

Rose, I still think
you're overreacting
to this.

Well, that's not all.

Remember those pens
she ordered and was
too busy to check?

Well, they came.

Rose--oh,
my pens got here.
Oh, good.

Now, isn't it
classier to say,

"pen is compliments
from us to you"?

Oh, real classy,

Except they
left the space out
between "pen" and "is."

What a funny little typo.

It's more than
a funny little typo.

There are 32 guests
who have pens that say,

"penis compliments
from us to you."

From us to them?

You see, it's supposed
to say, "pen is."

I know that.
We got 10 gross of them.

We'll have
to collect them.

You'll
call the printer.

I can't. I have a lunch
date with ernie...Ooh!

Lunch?

We have a sweet-16
party tonight.

That banker's carried
us for three months.

You've got
a responsibility here.

I can't believe this.

You're just throwing
this away for some guy.

He's not just some guy.
He's special.

I've seen him
in his speedo.

He's not
that special.

Oh, I get it.
This is your idea.

You're just jealous
'cause I'm dating someone.

I'm not jealous,
blanche.

But we have an important
event coming up.

You're choosing
the first man
who comes along.

This man makes me happy.

As my friend, that
should make you happy.

I'm talking to you
as your partner,
not your friend.

As far as I'm concerned,
you're not my friend.

Well, that's
just fine with me.

Roland, I'm
checking out now.

I'll be back
on Wednesday.

I just need
your signature.

What is this,
some sort of come-on?

What? Oh, that's
a funny little typo.

Here you go.

My car will be washed
when I return?

Yes. Just
leave us the keys.

I already left them.

With whom?

The little old lady.

The little old lady?

You hear it, too?

[oliver]
you sure you

[sophia]
you think I'm too old?

No, it's just--

Well, you
spent so much time
looking for the crank.

Aw, that was
just shtick.

So, what do
you want to do?

I'm ing this
for you.

I want you to be free,

See the highway,
touch the city,
smell the land.

Are we ever
going to turn left?

Any news of
sophia and oliver?

I called the cops.
Nothing.

Hey, you guys got
nothing to worry about.

When I was a kid
in east l.A.,

We'd go joyriding
all the time.

We'd get a bunch of guys,
go down to tijuana--

Maybe it wouldn't
be a bad idea

If you got the number
of a good bail bondsman.

I called the boys' club
and the seniors center.

They're not there.

I just feel so awful.

I was so insensitive
to sophia.

Now she's gone.

I know.
I feel horrible.

I was insensitive
to you, too, wasn't I?

I'm sorry, rose.

I forgive you,
blanche.

I forgive you, rose,
and roland, too.

Yippy skippy.

I was having trouble
balancing my work

And my time with
ernie...Ooh!

Girls, I think I've
come up with the
perfect solution.

All right, that's it.

You haven't
heard it.

You called me
a girl.

No, she didn't.

I know when I'm
being called a girl.

I'm not a girl, right?

Whatever.

Anyway, I'm having
ernie stay here
at the hotel.

That way, I can
be here for the party

And have
my getaway weekend
with ernie...Ooh!

I'm going to
slip into something

That will make me
look my best.

May I suggest
a time machine?

Hello?

Can I help you?

Hi, roland?
I'm paula webb,
oliver's mother.

Oh, you're
oliver's mother.

It's nice
to meet you.

This is chuy.

I've heard
a lot about you.

I'm glad you're
doing better.

I'm doing great.

I was lucky to find
such a good hospital

And lucky
oliver found you.

He's written
all about you.

Well, we're
really close.

So is chuy.

So, where is he now?

Where's who?

Oliver.

Oh, where's oliver?

I thought you
meant where's chuy.

Me, too.
I thought you meant
where's chuy.

Well, where is he?

He's right there.

Hi, I'm chuy.

I wanted to
surprise him.

You wanted
to surprise him.

She wanted
to surprise you.
Ohh!

Uhh!

Don't do that.

I see why oliver
likes it here so much.

So, really,
where is he?

Right now,
he's out with one of
his foster grandmas.

O.K., I'll
come back later.

[whispering]
- [whispering]

His grandmother--
she's o.K., isn't she?

Oh, yes, and we feel

That she's a really
strong role model
for the child.

By spending
time together,

She's showing him
a healthy respect
for authority.

Ma'am, do you
have any idea how
slow you were going?

[sophia]
ah, bite me.

So you finally
decided to join us.

We have a lot
of setting up to do.

You'll have
to deal with it.

Ernie got us tickets
to an evening cruise.

Now, hold it, blanche.

You're the one who
brought this party here.

Well, you
know what I think?

You think I run
after the first man
that comes along.

You can't stop me.

I'm not stopping you.
I'm telling you
not to come back.

Not come back?

This isn't about ernie.

You're running away
from this hotel.

You can't handle
the responsibility.

You're scared.

She's right.

I don't care
what you think.

And hey, maybe
I just won't come back.

'cause I don't need you.
I don't need anyone.

I don't need anything.

[telephone rings]

Golden palace.

Remember, kid, we're
in this together.

You better believe it.

These people tell me
they belong to you.

Sophia!

Where have
you two been?

Kidnapped.
The boy kidnapped me.

It was a nightmare.

Normally, I'd
take them downtown

But with their
ages and all...

Their ages?

I'm a child.
I was scared.
I almost peed.

I'm 100.
I am scared.
I am peeing.

If you'd take better
care of these two,

They might
not run away.

Oh, I'm going to
take care of them.

Listen, I don't want to
know whose idea it was--

His.
- Hers.

It doesn't matter
whose idea it was.

If you want
to go somewhere,

Ask one of us,
and we'll take you.

Promise--
no more joyriding.

We promise.
- We promise.

Thank you.

Am I grounde

No. Just
the ringleader.

Hey, look who's back.

Did you tell him
the good news yet?

Tonight.
I'll tell him tonight.

Well, I learned
my lesson.

Me, too.

Excuse me,
is anyone on duty?

I need to park my
motorcycle and sidecar.

We can do th
for you.

Hi.

Hi.

I'm back.

I thought you were
going on a cruise.

Well, it just didn't
work out with ernie.

It was something
he said.

Oh, did he say
you were irresponsible?

No, rose.
What he said was--

Your hair.
He made fun
of your hair.

No!

I told him about
the fight we'd had,

And he said
for me not to worry.

He'd take care of me.

So?

I realized I was doing
what you said I was,

Running away and
looking for some man
to care of me.

Maybe I was scared.

Maybe...

Maybe I can't
handle responsibility,

But this hotel
is my chance to make
something of myself

Without depending
on some man,

And I sure
would like to try,

That is,
if you'll forgive me.

Oh, come here.

Oh!

[blanche]
oh, rose.

It is so good to be
back with you all.

Hey, where's oliver?

Oliver's gone.

Gone?

His mother came back.
She's doing great.

He was so excited
to see her.

That's wonderful.

Isn't it great?

He must be so happy.

Of course, after--

Um, are you o.K.,
roland?

Yeah, I'm o.K.

I'm just going to miss
oliver, that's all.

Well, yeah,
we all are.

But I bet he'll
come back and visit.

I didn't even
get to say goodbye.

Oh, yeah, he left
you all a note.

Let's see.

"I never knew grandmas
could be so much fun.

"I love you guys.
I'll miss you guys--
oliver.

P.S. Tell sophia
thanks for the ride."

I'm glad I took him out
for one last free ride.

It was an adventure

That taught us more about
love and sharing and trust

Than all the schooling.

You're still
grounded, sophia.

Aw, bite this.
