ALL I WANTED WAS YOUR FAMILY TO LIKE ME.

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?

I APOLOGIZE FOR MY FAMILY.

HE'S JUST A YOUNG BOY

WHO FINDS A CHIC, SOPHISTICATED CAREER WOMAN

WILDLY ATTRACTIVE.

OH...

AUNT ROSA, WE HAVE TO SPEAK TO YOU.

OH, MY, LOOK AT THE TIME.

AUNT ROSA, GRAZIE, GRAZIE,

FOR SHARING THESE WONDERFUL MEMORIES WITH ME,

EVEN THOUGH IT BORED ME OUT OF MY GOURD.

PREGO, PREGO.

LISTEN, UNCLE ALDO, AUNT ROSA...

I HAVE SOMETHING I GOT TO TELL YOU.

ANGELA DOESN'T WANT TO MARRY MAURIZIO.

WHAT?

WHY, THIS IS TERRIBLE.

TH-THIS IS AWFUL.

ANGELA NON E SPOSARSI MAURIZIO.

WAIT A MINUTE. WHAT'S SO FUNNY?

I DON'T KNOW, BUT WHEN SHE'S HAPPY, I'M HAPPY.

[SPEAKING ITALIAN]

YOU ARE PLAYING HARD TO GET.

YOU SMART.

I THINK SOMETHING GOT LOST IN THE TRANSLATION.

UH, UNCLE ALDO...

PLEASE TRY TO UNDERSTAND.

I THINK MAURIZIO IS A WONDERFUL YOUNG MAN,

BUT I'M AFRAID I DON'T LOVE HIM.

YOU DON'T?

SHE DON'T.

I UNDERSTAND.

YOU MAKE YOUR DECISION.

YOU SAY NO.

WE MUST RESPECT YOUR DECISION.

WHAT IF I THROW IN A MASERATI?

NO, EH?

NOW I GOT TROUBLE.

I GOT TO EXPLAIN TO YOUR AUNT ROSA.

♪ WO-OH-OH ♪

♪ CANTARE ♪

♪ OH-OH-OH-OH ♪♪

UH-OH-OH-OH.

ANGELA, I GOT THESE FLOWERS FOR YOU.

OH, MAURIZIO, THANK YOU.

THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL.

WOULD YOU PUT THEM IN THE VASE OVER THERE?

I WOULD BE HONORED.

THANK YOU.

WHAT DO I SAY TO HIM?

IT'LL BE BETTER IF I TELL HIM.

NO, IT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY

AS THE OBJECT OF HIS FURIOUS PASSION.

ANGELA, HE'S MY COUSIN.

WE HAVE A SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP.

OK.

THANK YOU.

WHAT A FOX.

SIT. HAVE A SEAT HERE.

SURE.

I WANT TO TALK TO YOU

ABOUT THE FOX.

YOU SEE, MAURIZIO, UH...

ANGELA'S FEELINGS FOR YOU,

THEY'RE NOT...

I KNOW THEY'RE NOT THE SAME AS MY FEELINGS.

YOU KNOW THAT?

SHE'LL LEARN TO LOVE ME.

I'M A MICELLI, HEY!

HEY, HEY. YEAH.

UM...YOU KNOW, MAURIZIO...

YOU COULDN'T HAVE PICKED A FINER WOMAN.

I KNOW.

SHE'S, UH, ELEGANT, SOPHISTICATED, INTELLIGENT,

AND, UH...

SHE HAS A GREAT PAIR OF LEGS.

YEAH, THEY ARE NICE.

AND, UH...SHE LOVES THE COUNTRY LIFE.

OH, YEAH, YEAH. SHE'S A REGULAR MINNIE PEARL.

BUT YOU SEE, MAURIZIO,

HERE'S THE THING, SEE.

HER LIFE'S HERE. HER FAMILY'S HERE. THEY NEED HER.

I KNOW THAT THERE WILL BE PROBLEMS,

BUT, EH...

LOVE DESTROYS EVERYTHING.

YOU MEAN LOVE CONQUERS ALL.

AH, THAT'S IT.

I'M CRAZY FOR THIS WOMAN.

ANGELA AND I HAVE GROWN VERY CLOSE

THE PAST FEW YEARS,

AND WE HAVE A WARM AND CONFUSED RELATIONSHIP.

AND I'D LIKE IT TO STAY THAT WAY.

TONY, I, UH... I THINK I UNDERSTAND.

I WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING TO HURT YOU.

THANKS, MAURIZIO.

IT'S TOO BAD WE HAD TO WAIT 20 YEARS TO MEET.

YOU OK?

I'M A LITTLE SAD, BUT I'LL BE OK.

ANYWAY, THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT ADVENTURE.

I CAME TO AMERICA. I MET MY COUSIN.

I FELL IN LOVE. I LOST A WOMAN...

THAT'S TRUE.

AND I GOT A CAP.

AND YOU STILL GOT THREE DAYS LEFT.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.

I'M TAKING YOU TO SEE THE ROCKETTES.

50 GIRLS, A HUNDRED LEGS.

THEY DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

HERE, CHECK THIS OUT.

GET YOUR LIRAS READY. I'M LOADING THE VAN.

I GOT ALL THE HEAVY ONES.

THANK YOU, SAM.

I LOVE MY POSTER OF BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN.

THANK YOU FOR TEACHING ME ABOUT ITALIAN HISTORY.

I NEVER KNEW GUCCI STARTED IN 1903.

I WILL, UH... NEVER FORGET YOU.

TO ME, AMERICA WILL MEAN THE STATUE OF LIBERTY,

THE ROCKETTES,

AND, UH... ANGELA BOWER.

THANK YOU, MAURIZIO.

AND TO ME,

ITALY WILL ALWAYS BE...

YOUTH AND PASSION.

HEY, MAURIZIO...COME.

I WANT THE NEIGHBORS TO SEE ME WALK OUT WITH YOU.

ARRIVEDERCI, AUNT ROSA.

ARRIVEDERCI, MRS. BOWER.

OH, COME ON. YOU CAN'T LEAVE LIKE THIS!

IT'S NOT RIGHT. IT'S NOT ITALIAN.

UNCLE ALDO...

CHE?

ROSA, ROSA...

NO.

TE IO GIURO.

ANGELA, CARA MIA!

[SPEAKING ITALIAN]

THERE YOU GO.

ARRIVEDERCI.

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE. WHAT DID YOU SAY?

THAT WE'D PROBABLY GET MARRIED SOMEDAY.

WAIT A MINUTE.

YOU TOLD THEM THAT?

I HAD TO MAKE PEACE IN THE FAMILY SOMEHOW.
