Come on, gang! Let's hit it! Let's move it! Let's do it!

I don't see why I have to go to this dumb street fair.

It'll be great to see all your old friends

from the old neighborhood,

and because it's fun to do family things,

and because you have no choice. Hmm.

Ooh! Great dress, Mona.

[HUMMING]

TONY: Hey... Mona, Mona.

Take it easy here, Mona.

This fair's supposed to raise money,

not blood pressure.

We all give in our own way.

Angela, Jonathan, come on! Let's go!

Hey, she's coming.

Wait till you see her.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I couldn't find a thing to wear.

What do you think about this peasant blouse?

Two hundred bucks?

For 200 bucks, you should have got the whole peasant.

[♪♪♪]

All right.

We've been here for an hour.

You haven't let me cook anything.

I know. It's going well, isn't it?

Please, please.

All right, all right, here.

Fish kabobs coming through!

Okay, let me give you a hand, Mrs. Rossini.

Here.

What is she doing?

She's burning calamari.

Angela, dear, would you please get some ice for the kabobs?

I'll watch those for you.

You let her near that calamari again,

I'll break both your hands.

Oh!

Hey, watch it!

Oh, I beg your pardon.

Francesca!

Tony, look. It's Francesca.

Tony?

Frankie.

What-what are you doing here?

Oh, helping Papa with his gelato booth.

Like a good Italian girl.

Like a good single Italian girl.

You haven't lost that subtle touch, Mrs. Rossini.

Gelato is getting to be very popular.

Oh, oh, yeah. Frankie, this is Angela Bower.

Oh, hi.

Hi.

Hey, Angela. Angela, this is the Frankie Candino.

This is the one girl in the whole neighborhood

who wouldn't go out with me.

Well, except for Anna Camisa, but she was married.

I wouldn't go out with you

because you were too macho for your own good.

Oh, well, that's because you couldn't tell

a good thing when you saw it.

No, my father would've sent me to a convent.

Well, at least you would have had something to confess.

Hey, hey, wait, so tell me what happened to you?

Where'd you disappear to after high school?

Hmm, well, let's see. I worked my way through college.

Then I got a scholarship to Harvard Law.

TONY: Ooh.

Uh, excuse me.

Uh, six kabobs.

Seven kabobs, well-done.

Now I'm a partner in a Wall Street law firm.

No kidding?

Yeah.

What can I say? I'm impressed. Heh, heh.

What's impressive is that we represent the Mets.

Box seats whenever I want.

Still a fan?

Are you kidding me? I mean, is Strawberry

hitting 306 with 94 RBIs?

Three-oh-five. Went oh for four last night.

Aw!

I know.

[GASPS]

Uh, would you mind repeating your order?

Yeah, I would.

You're too fat, anyway.

I'd better get back to work here.

That would be nice.

Something the matter?

No, no.

[IMITATING ANGELA] Yes, yes.

[NORMALLY] What is it?

Well, uh... I've just...

been dying to go to the sausage and pepper stand.

Oh, why didn't you say so?

Tell you what. As soon as it calms down here,

we'll let Mrs. Rossini take over,

and then we cruise to sausage and pepper land, okay?

Is it a date? Okay.

Date.

All right. Okay.

Uh, Micelli, got change for another 20?

Hey, Candino, what do I look like? The Bank of Brooklyn?

Don't give me any of your lip.

Come on, his gelato's melting.

Oh, I'm sorry, Angela. I have a meltdown.

So, what's with Tony and the Italian stallionette?

Mother, they're just friends.

A man and a woman can be just friends, you know.

Why?

Hey, Tony!

Hey, Tiny!

Hey, what's going down?

Ooh, everything.

[BOTH LAUGH]

Hey, Dad, look what Elvis won for me.

Yeah, it only cost me $23.

That's my boy.

Uh-oh, a teddy bear.

You know when you win one of those for a girl,

it's serious.

Elvis seems like a nice boy.

Angela, Tiny fathered that child.

Hey, Tony, what, all work and no play?

Well, I'd like to take a break,

but we've been swamped here.

Oh, Tony, go.

Angela and I can handle this.

Well...

Well, uh, but, hey, what about our date

to have sausage and peppers?

Don't worry. The night is young.

There will be plenty of peppers left.

Huh. Okay. Hey. I guess it's me and you.

Let's go see if I can win you a teddy.

Um, Mrs. Rossini, would--?

Would you mind very much if I took a little break?

Mind? You take as long as you want.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Could I have some sausage and peppers?

Sorry. Just ran out.

Yeah, so you know, after I hurt my shoulder,

I retired from the majors.

Hmm, that's a tough break.

So, what do you do now?

Oh, well, now I, uh-- I work as a housekeeper for Angela.

You're kidding.

Well, I was--

You know, I wanted to be home with Sam,

and it was important she's in a good school.

Now I'm the one who's impressed.

There aren't that many men who have

that much confidence in their masculinity

to work as a housekeeper.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Yeah!

Well, hey, that's me.

Confidence...

masculinity...

and not a bad little dancer.

You know, Tony...

I think you're quite a guy.

And I think you're--

Dying to be kissed.

Hi, Angela.

Tiny, how would you like to dance?

Are you serious?

Yeah. I came here to have a good time.

Well, uh, let's bebop.

[LAUGHS]

[MICROPHONE FEEDBACK SCREECHES]

Ladies and gentlemen,

the Pitkin Avenue auction is about to begin.

[CROWD CHEERING AND APPLAUDING]

All proceeds will go to neighborhood beautification.

[CHEERING AND APPLAUDING]

You wanna beautify the neighborhood, deport Tiny.

I'll give you deport.

Our first item up:

Tony Micelli!

Oh!

He is offering his services for the weekend.

ALL: Oh!

As a housekeeper.

What a clever donation.

Tony, get up here.

No, no, no.

Get up here!

[ALL CHEERING AND APPLAUDING]

Come on! Come on, ladies.

Here's your chance to let a man do the dirty work.

What's the first bid?

A buck, 75.

A buck, 75? I'll give you a buck, 75.

Check this out. Both of 'em.

[ALL LAUGH]

All right, a buck.

Twenty dollars!

That's more like it.

There we go.

Thirty dollars.

Thirty dollars?

That will buy five beds of petunias!

Going once!

Forty.

Forty dollars.

Oh, wait a minute, Angela. What are you doing?

I work for you all the time.

I know, but I love petunias.

[LAUGHS]

Fifty dollars.

Sixty.

Seventy.

Eighty.

Eighty dollars?

We'll be able to buy rose bushes too.

Ninety.

One hundred dollars.

One hundred dollars.

Wow.

A new Pitkin Avenue record!

[ALL CHEERING AND APPLAUDING]

Do I hear 110?

One thousand dollars.

[CROWD EXCLAIMING]

I-- I didn't hear 110.

One thousand dollars.

Forget neighborhood beautification.

We can all afford to move.

Any other bids?

Angela, I am your mother.

I know what's best for you.

Buy him.

One thousand going once...

Going twice...

Do something.

ROSSINI: Sold!

Tony Micelli sold to Francesca Candino

for $1000!

[ALL CHEERING AND APPLAUDING]

[SIGHS]

What time did Elvis say he'd call?

I don't know. About 56 minutes ago.

So, what time did Dad say

he'd be back from cleaning Frankie's?

Oh, he said he might be a little late

if he had to clean her windows.

She must have skylights too.

[KEYS JINGLE]

Tony!

Oh, it's you.

That's what I said when you were born.

[PHONE RINGS]

Elvis! Oh, wait, no.

He might think I've been waiting for his call.

Do you mind, Mona?

Me? Deceive a man?

Hello.

Oh, hello, Frankie.

That's it!

Teddy is dead.

No, no, I don't mind

taking a message for Tony.

Mm-hmm.

"I need you...

I want you...

I love you...

Think about it."

Yep, got it.

[SCOFFS]

Well, some people will say anything

to get good help.

Hello, Tony.

Oh, uh, hello, Angela.

Uh, how was your weekend?

Funny, she was just about

to ask you the same thing.

Oh, Frankie called and left you a message.

Nice penmanship, Mona.

Oh, I know this isn't any of my business,

but what are you supposed to be thinking about?

Oh, this, that... Marriage.

Yeah, you know.

Frankie proposed. Good night.

Hey, wait a minute, bub.

You can't drop a bomb like that and run for cover.

What did you say?

Well, I just-- It happened so fast.

I think I kind of blanked out.

Uh, I told Frankie I needed time to think.

So I think I'll go think.

See you in the morning.

Hmm.

Angela...

I'm worried.

Oh, Mother. There's nothing to worry about.

I know Tony.

He's not gonna do something foolish.

But what if I'm wrong, Dr. Bellows?

I mean, I practically threw him into that woman's arms.

Angela, I'd like you to tell me more

about your relationship with Tony.

Well, uh...

First, he was my housekeeper, and then he was my friend.

I guess you could say he's my best friend.

Then again, I don't have that many friends.

And?

And?

Oh, I suppose I think about us every now and again.

What do you think about?

Marriage, sex, children--

Definitely not sex.

You fantasize about him.

I do not!

I would never!

I suppose you could call it that.

But...everybody knows that physical attraction

is no way to have a successful relationship.

I mean, you have to have similar backgrounds

and mutual goals

and know what an RBI is.

Excuses.

The reason you and Tony aren't together

is not because of backgrounds, goals or baseball.

Then what is it?

Oh, well, that's what we're here to discover.

And, by the way, it's run batted in.

See? You know that. Tony knows that.

Frankie knows that.

You feel inadequate.

Inadequate?

Inadequate? I am a bright, attractive, determined woman.

I own my own home. I own my own business.

My child is in the top 5 percent of his class.

Yes, I feel inadequate!

To Frankie?

To Tony.

[SCOFFS]

He-- He's always so...

So confident, so...

So charming, so-- So much fun.

Of course, the woman does have perfect bone structure,

if you like that sort of thing.

How does Tony feel about you?

Oh, I--

Suppose he thinks I'm a little uptight...

A little boring...

But I know he cares. He cares a lot.

And how do you know that?

Well, he kissed me once,

but, of course, we were both drunk.

And...

once he told me he loved me.

But then again, he thought he was dying.

Um...

Look, Dr. Bellows,

Um. I wasn't sure about coming here.

And I think maybe I was right.

Back in the chair.

Okay.

You know, I've, um-- I've never been to a psychiatrist,

but aren't you just supposed to nod and ask questions?

Do you love Tony?

Not that question.

Angela.

Do you love Tony?

Is my time almost up?

[SIGHS]

Oh.

He's the most incredible man I've ever known.

[SHAKILY] When I'm with him,

I'm happier than I've ever been...

and sadder sometimes.

God, I...

I just couldn't imagine my life without him.

[NORMALLY] This is confidential, isn't it?

Yes.

I love Tony.

Oh!

It might help if he knew that.

Well, I wish I could hear it from him first.

You know, when I was a kid,

and I wanted to play with somebody,

I always had to do the asking.

With my ex-husband, I'm the one who got down on my knees.

Even Mother doesn't hug me unless I hug her first.

For once, I-I just want someone else to go first.

Well...

What do you think, doctor?

Angela...

I think you might lose him.

[SOFTLY] Oh...

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Coming, coming, coming, coming.

Hey, Frankie.

It's the middle of the day.

Shouldn't you be in court badgering a witness?

No, that's tomorrow.

Today, I want to badger my favorite man into marrying me.

Hoo, you badger good.

So?

What's it going to be?

Well, I mean, everything's happening so fast.

I feel swept away.

I mean, a fella needs time.

Mr. Micelli, have we or have we not

always been very attracted to each other?

Am I under oath?

Then I'm guilty as charged.

Gentlemen of the jury, I ask you, what...

could be more wonderful than this man

and his beautiful daughter sharing a life with...

yours truly

in a magnificent and now very clean Eastside penthouse?

It's clean, yeah.

Imagine their days... filled with happiness

and their nights filled with--

Well, I don't think we have to give the jury all the details.

There are other details too, Tony.

We come from the same place.

We understand each other.

Yeah, that's right. That's right.

So why don't we just keep dating,

and we'll see what happens?

Tell me, Tony, what are you expecting to happen?

[SIGHS]

What is it? Is it Angela?

Heh, Angela?

[CHUCKLES] I mean, what does she got to do with this?

Isn't it true that we having a terrific weekend

until she called to ask where you keep

the dish-washing detergent?

You know, when you got to do a wash, it can't wait.

Neither can I.

Look, Tony...

One of these days, you're gonna

figure out what's best for you.

And when you do...

give me a call...

If I'm still available.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

Hey, Angela, what are you doing?

What is this, a national holiday today?

No, I-I gave Mother the afternoon off,

and I, uh-- I decided to play hooky.

You, hooky? Are you feeling all right?

Fine.

Are the kids back from school yet?

No.

Good.

Uh, I mean, it's nice to have the privacy

if we ever wanted to talk privately,

which I do...

Now.

Oh, well, you know, it's funny you should say that

because I got something private I'd like to say to you.

If you don't mind, I'd like to go first.

No, really. I have something I have to say to you.

I just feel that I have to say it. Tony, I--

Wait a minute.

Did you say you wanted to go first?

Yeah, but it's okay. Go ahead.

No, no, you.

No, no. I insist.

No. No, I insist more.

Angela.

Tony...

I have the best news!

Elvis' stepsister got food poisoning.

Bonnie has a friend of a friend who found out that

the whole family went down to the hospital

to watch her stomach get pumped.

Isn't that great?

[CHUCKLES]

That's why Elvis didn't call.

I'm gonna go sew Teddy's head back on now.

Well, the course of true romance never did run smooth.

Love.

What?

"The course of true love never did run smooth."

It's Shakespeare.

A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Oh...

I, uh, I saw Frankie today.

You did?

Yeah.

Are you going to--?

Oh, no.

No?

No.

Why no?

She's an Italian beauty,

she's a Harvard graduate,

she drinks beer from a bottle!

But I don't love her.

And, uh...

Love is important.

Oh.

It is.

It is.

Well, I told you mine.

Now you tell me yours.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

It was...

It was just something

about how I didn't want to lose you.

Oh, that's good, because I didn't want to get lost.

Good.

Hey, uh, we should have these, uh--

These private talks more often, you know what I mean?

Well, maybe we will.

Okay.

Hey, uh, you sure it's...

love?

Positive.
