PREVIOUSLY ON "sMothered"...

WE'RE ALWAYS PLANNING SOMETHING.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

MAKE A WISH!

YOU WISH YOUR MOTHER-IN-LAW WAS YOUR WIFE.

Carlo: YEAH.

KATHY AND CRISTINA ARE ALWAYS DOING WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.

THAT'S WHY MY FAMILY

KIND OF GETS A LITTLE IRRITATED WITH THEM.

WHY DO YOU THINK HIS FAMILY HAS SUCH A PROBLEM WITH ME?

NOBODY LIKES YOU GUYS.

Cher: WE GOT OUR APARTMENT!

OH, NICE!

NOW THAT YOUR MOM WOULD HAVE HER OWN ROOM,

DOES THAT MEAN WE'RE GONNA HAVE MORE FREQUENT GUESTS?

PROBABLY.

I AM SO HAPPY.

MY MOM NO LONGER HAS TO SLEEP IN THE LIVING ROOM.

DAWN'S PROBABLY GONNA TAKE IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL.

DON'T BE SURPRISED IF SHE'S HERE EVERY WEEKEND.

Angelica: MY MOM THINKS THAT THE BEST THING FOR ME RIGHT NOW

IS TO CLEAR MY MIND, AND SPEND SOME QUALITY TIME WITH HER.

I WANT YOU TO FIND THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE,

AND THAT'S WHAT YOU DESERVE.

Sunhe: JASON TAKES AWAY THAT ENERGY

THAT SHOULD BE FOR ANGELICA AND I.

I'M GONNA HAVE TO...

SAY "GOODBYE."

AND COMING UP...

ARE YOU PLANNING TO GO TO THE BIRTH?

SHE WANTS ME IN THE ROOM.

SO, IS -- IS THE FATHER COMING?

IT REALLY HURTS MY FEELINGS WHEN I COME HOME,

AND I FIND OUT THAT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE SOMETHING --

IT WAS ONLY ONE CLASS.

DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER CLASSES THAT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT?

WE'RE GONNA HAVE HIS PARTY -- A BIG PARTY.

THAT'S IT.

KATHY AND CRISTINA ALWAYS THINK THAT THEY CAN

PUT THEIR TWO CENTS IN, BUT I DON'T ROLL LIKE THAT.

YOU WANT A BIG PARTY? THEN, WE CAN DO WHAT WE WANT.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY YOU'RE INVOLVED

IN THIS WHOLE SITUATION.

I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'RE INVOLVED.

Jason: WATCH YOUR STEP.

Sunhe: OH, MY.

IF HE DID ALL THIS TO IMPRESS ME, IT DIDN'T WORK.

WAIT. WHERE ARE WE GOING?

I FEEL LIKE WE'VE BEEN WALKING FOREVER.

OH, I HAVE A SURPRISE FOR YOU.

OH, MY GOSH.

I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOU TO SEE THIS.

I'M SO HAPPY THAT JARED AND I

MOVED INTO A TWO-BEDROOM APARTMENT.

AND NOW, WE HAVE SPACE FOR THE BABY,

AND OF COURSE, MY MOM, TOO.

TODAY, MY MOM HAS A REALLY BIG SURPRISE FOR ME

TO HELP ME GET READY FOR THE BABY,

AND I'M HOPING THAT IT'S THE LUXURIOUS STROLLER

THAT I'VE BEEN REALLY WANTING.

IT COMES WITH ALL THE ACCESSORIES AND EVERYTHING,

SO I'M HOPING THAT'S WHAT SHE GOT ME.

OH, MY GOSH. WHAT IS THIS?

I WANT YOU TO TRY THE LAMAZE CLASS.

OH, MY GOSH.

I TOLD YOU ALREADY I WAS DOING AN EPIDURAL.

JARED AND I ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THIS.

THERE'S NO REASON TO, LIKE, HAVE TO DO THIS.

BUT JUST TRY IT AND SEE.

GET ALL THE INFORMATION FIRST,

AND THEN, YOU CAN SEE FOR YOURSELF

WHETHER YOU WANT TO DO THE EPIDURAL,

OR YOU WANT TO DO IT ALL NATURAL.

I WANT CHER TO GO ALL NATURAL.

THAT'S WHAT I DID.

THAT'S WHAT SHE SHOULD DO.

NO. SHE DOESN'T LIKE PAIN.

I HOPE SHE TRIES VERY HARD TO GO NATURAL,

LIKE I DID -- TO BE LIKE ME!

[ LAUGHS ]

FEEL LIKE YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE ME LIKE YOU.

NO. NO. I'M NOT.

FIRST, SEE WHAT THIS IS ABOUT,

AND THEN, YOU CAN SEE WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.

OKAY? -OKAY. FINE.

THIS IS ANOTHER CASE WHERE JARED AND MY MOM DON'T SEE EYE TO EYE.

BUT I KNOW MY MOM, AND SHE'S NOT GONNA GIVE UP

UNTIL I HEAR HER OUT, SO I JUST HAVE TO GIVE IT A CHANCE.

HI. WELCOME. I'M JADA.

I'M DAWN. AND CHER.

AND WE'RE HERE FOR THE CLASS. AND WE'RE SO EXCITED.

WELL, COME ON IN.

I'M PRETTY SURE THAT JARED WOULD BE ANNOYED

IF HE FOUND OUT THAT MY MOM AND I

WERE TAKING THIS LAMAZE CLASS TOGETHER.

SO, I ALWAYS LIKE TO START BY HEARING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT --

WHAT DO YOU HOPE MOST TO GET OUT OF THIS CLASS?

WE'RE JUST HERE TO LEARN HOW TO HAVE A NATURAL BIRTH.

AND I'M REALLY JUST HERE TO SUPPORT HER, AND MAKE SURE

THAT WE'RE BOTH KIND OF PREPARED FOR WHAT'S AHEAD OF US.

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE ORIGINALLY PLANNING

ON DOING AN EPIDURAL FOR IT,

JUST 'CAUSE I DON'T HANDLE PAIN VERY WELL.

BUT MY MOM WAS VERY PRO-NATURAL.

IF YOU DO HAVE AN EPIDURAL -- IF THAT'S WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO DO --

ONE OF THE ISSUES WITH IT IS THAT FOR PUSHING,

YOU CAN'T FEEL IT AS STRONGLY...

YOU CAN'T FEEL IT...

SO, IF YOU DON'T HAVE THAT -- -...AS STRONGLY.

AS STRONGLY.

ARE YOU PLANNING TO GO TO THE BIRTH, AS WELL?

OH, YES! DEFINITELY.

SHE WANTS ME IN THE ROOM WHEN SHE'S DELIVERING.

SO, IS THE FATHER COMING TO THE BIRTH, AS WELL?

WHAT'S...?

OH, YEAH. NO, OF COURSE.

HE IS VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE BIRTH.

WE WERE ACTUALLY PLANNING ON DOING

A BIRTHING CLASS OURSELVES, BUT SHE KIND OF BEAT HIM TO IT.

SO, I DON'T KNOW HOW HE'S GONNA FEEL

ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE'RE DOING ONE TOGETHER.

I'VE BEEN TEACHING CHILDBIRTH CLASSES FOR, YOU KNOW, 15 YEARS.

I'VE NEVER HAD A MOM COME IN WITH HER PREGNANT DAUGHTER.

I DON'T THINK I WOULD TAKE MY DAUGHTER TO A CHILDBIRTH CLASS,

AND KIND OF BE THE ONE TO GO INSTEAD OF HER PARTNER.

TO ME, ONE OF THE GREAT PARTS OF CHILDBIRTH CLASS

IS THE BONDING EXPERIENCE OF CONNECTING

WITH YOUR PARTNER IN PREPARATION.

I'LL BE VERY CURIOUS TO SEE HOW HE REACTS.

SO, IF I HAD YOU GUYS TURN TO EACH OTHER...

MAYBE HOLD HANDS.

HOLD HANDS, AND LOOK AT EACH OTHER IN THE EYE,

AND JUST GAZE DEEPLY, CONNECTING,

FEELING THAT CONNECTION.

AH, JUST LOVE YOU LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT.

I LOVE YOU.

♪♪

IT'S VERY WEIRD TO TAKE THIS CLASS WITH MY MOM.

I FEEL LIKE I'M SUPPOSED TO DO THIS WITH JARED,

AND NOT REALLY WITH MY MOM.

I FEEL LIKE THE OTHER COUPLE IS STARING AT US, AND LIKE,

"WHY IS SHE HERE? LIKE, WHERE IS HER HUSBAND?"

SO, IT'S A LITTLE AWKWARD.

Jada: ACTUALLY, LET'S GET UP, AND DO A FEW THINGS TOGETHER.

'CAUSE I THINK THAT WILL BE USEFUL.

ALRIGHT.

NOW, SOME PEOPLE FEEL THAT THE PAIN IS TOO INTENSE TO MOVE,

BUT OTHER PEOPLE RESPOND DIFFERENTLY.

AND FOR THEM, REALLY, A LOT OF ROCKING AND ROLLING,

OR, LIKE I SAID, I MEAN, REALLY...

[ IMITATES GROANING ]

...DOWN HERE, IS WHAT THEY NEED TO BE DOING.

EVERYBODY HAS THEIR OWN WAY.

SO, ONE POSE THAT'S REALLY HELPFUL

IS WHAT WE KIND OF CALL "THE SLOW DANCE."

SO, WE'RE GONNA CONNECT. TURN TO YOUR PARTNER.

AND YOU'RE GONNA PUT YOUR ARMS WHEREVER FEELS GOOD.

AND THEN, YOU CAN JUST KIND OF OPEN YOUR FEET

REALLY NICE AND WIDE.

AND LET'S JUST ROCK BACK AND FORTH.

RIGHT?

ANYTHING THAT GETS MOTION AND RHYTHM.

Natalie: I'M JUST CURIOUS WHAT HER HUSBAND

THINKS ABOUT THE MOM DOING THE CLASS.

I KNOW IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU WANT TO DO WITH YOUR PARTNER,

BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF INTIMATE.

Noah: I GET THE IMPRESSION HE'S USED TO HER MOM

BEING UP IN THEIR BUSINESS. BUT THAT'S JUST ME.

THAT'S TRUE.

Jada: WE CALL IT "THE BUTT PRESS."

YOU CAN BE LIKE "HARDER," "SOFTER."

Cher: THAT'S A LITTLE TOO HARD.

THAT WAS AMAZING.

SHE JUST GAVE -- SHE GAVE FEEDBACK.

WAIT TILL SHE'S IN LABOR, AND SHE STARTS SCREAMING AT ME.

SO, ALL FOURS IS ANOTHER REALLY GOOD POSITION,

IF YOU GUYS WANT TO TRY.

SO, THIS SCARF, WE CAN EITHER JUST USE THIS FOR PRESSURE,

OR WE CAN DO A LITTLE ROCK AND ROLL.

A LITTLE TUSHY ROLL.

ANYTHING THAT SHE CAN FIND THAT'S RHYTHMIC...

THAT'S SOOTHING. EXACTLY.

I DO THINK THAT CHER IS A LITTLE MORE OPEN-MINDED

ABOUT THE LAMAZE CLASS.

WE DO EVERYTHING ELSE THE SAME.

WE SHOULD DELIVER BABIES THE SAME, TOO.

[ CHUCKLES ]

I THINK THE BALL IS REALLY GREAT.

Jada: BALL IS REALLY GREAT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING TODAY.

-THANK YOU. -YEAH.

WHEN JARED FINDS OUT THAT MY MOM TOOK ME

TO A LAMAZE CLASS, HE'S GONNA BE DISAPPOINTED

THAT HE WASN'T INVOLVED IN THIS.

THEY WENT OVER EVERYTHING, BUT YOU HAVE TO HELP ME CONVINCE

CARLO TO GET A SMALL PARTY.

'CAUSE HE WANTS TO HAVE THIS HUGE BLOWOUT,

AND NOT -- -WHY DO YOU WANT TO DO THAT?

I DON'T WANT TO DO IT.

Cristina: MY SON CROSS'S FIRST COMMUNION IS COMING UP,

WHICH IS A MILESTONE FOR ITALIAN CATHOLICS.

SO, OF COURSE, WE ARE PLANNING A PARTY.

YEAH, WE HAVE TO. IT'S A CELEBRATION.

EXCEPT CARLO'S STICKING HIS NOSE IN OUR BUSINESS THIS TIME.

Cristina: HE WANTS ME TO THROW A HUGE PARTY --

150 PEOPLE, A DEEJAY, A WHOLE SHEBANG.

IT'S RIDICULOUS.

WE WERE HOPING TO KEEP IT SMALL BECAUSE A BIG PARTY WOULD BE

A LOT OF WORK FOR A BUNCH OF PEOPLE THAT DON'T LIKE US.

AND AT THE LAST PARTY, CARLO HAD A FISTFIGHT WITH HIS BROTHER.

WHY TAKE THE RISK?

I NEED YOUR HELP.

OH, HE'S NOT -- HE'S GONNA GET MAD AT ME.

WHO CARES? JUST DO IT.

HERE. SEE IF THIS WORKS.I'M ALWAYS BUTTING IN.

I KNOW, BUT IT'S A BIG PROBLEM.

HE DOESN'T EVEN LIKE HALF OF HIS RELATIVES.

PLEASE. DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED.

I KNOW. IT'S PROBABLY HIM RIGHT NOW.

I'M ALWAYS THE BEARER OF THE BAD NEWS.

TELL HIM THAT, IF YOU DON'T HAVE A COMMUNION PARTY,

HE'LL GET MORE SEX.

WHAT'S SOMETHING THAT HE WOULD REALLY,

REALLY LIKE YOU TO DO OR WEAR?

I DON'T KNOW.

HE KEEPS BUYING ME ALL THIS LINGERIE.

HE'S LIKE, "YOU GONNA PUT THAT ON?"

I'M LIKE, "NO. GO AWAY."

I LOVE THAT I KNOW I CAN TALK TO HER ABOUT ANYTHING.

THERE'S NOTHING THAT'S OFF-LIMITS.

HOW ABOUT THIS? YOU GO AWAY FOR A WEEKEND --

A SEX WEEKEND.

A WEEKEND FULL OF SEX.

YOU HAVE WEEKENDS FULL OF SEX.

I DON'T HAVE WEEKENDS FULL OF SEX.

WHAT?

MAYBE YOU'D BE A LITTLE LESS CRABBY

IF YOU HAD WEEKENDS FULL OF SEX.

PROBABLY.

WE TALK ABOUT SEX. SHE'LL TELL ME IF SHE'S, LIKE, YOU KNOW,

NOT UP FOR IT, OR IF SHE, YOU KNOW,

KNOWS THAT, "UH-OH, THIS IS THE NIGHT.

GOT TO DO IT TONIGHT. HAVEN'T DONE IT IN A WHILE."

YOU KNOW, YEAH, SHE'LL DO THAT.

LIKE, IF WE KNOW FROM SOMEBODY

THAT SOMEBODY'S BEEN WITH SOMEBODY

THAT HAS A CERTAIN SIZE...

HE'S GONNA THINK YOU'RE DRINKING IN THE AFTERNOON.

HE'S GONNA CALL CROSS, AND BE LIKE, "IS MOMMY DRUNK?"

"IS MOMMY DRINKING?"

CARLO IS SO DEAD SET ON HAVING THIS BIG PARTY.

I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY AMOUNT OF SEX

THAT WOULD CHANGE HIS MIND.

IF I DON'T TALK HIM OUT OF THIS PARTY,

AND CARLO'S FAMILY AND MY MOM AND I

ARE ALL IN THE SAME ROOM, IT'S GONNA BE A PROBLEM,

BECAUSE THEY DON'T EVEN LIKE ME AND MY MOM.

AND I FEEL LIKE IT WAS REALLY NICE,

'CAUSE IT ALLOWED MY MOM TO SHARE

A REALLY IMPORTANT EXPERIENCE WITH ME.

Grant: YOUR BELLY'S GETTING BIG.

FORTUNATELY, FOR ME, SHE NEVER STAYS WITH ME.

SHE ONLY STAYS WITH MY SISTER, CHER, WHEN SHE COMES.

IT'S PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT CHALLENGING FOR JARED

TO HAVE MY MOM, YOU KNOW,

INVOLVED IN EVERYTHING THAT THEY'RE DOING.

WHAT'D YOU GUYS DO TODAY?

Cher: WELL...

I SURPRISED CHER, AND I TOOK HER TO A LAMAZE CLASS.

LAMAZE CLASS.

'CAUSE I WANTED HER TO GET INFORMATION ON IT,

TO MAKE HER OWN DECISION -- EDUCATIONAL DECISION.

YOU DON'T WANT ME TO MAKE MY OWN DECISION.

YOU WANT ME TO MAKE YOUR DECISION.

WELL, I WANTED HER TO HEAR HOW IT IS

TO HAVE A NATURAL CHILDBIRTH WITHOUT HAVING AN EPIDURAL.

EVEN THOUGH MY WHOLE FAMILY ARE DOCTORS,

MY MOM SEEMS TO BE CONVINCED THAT SHE KNOWS BEST.

BUT THERE'S A LITTLE BIT MORE TO KNOW THAT YOU TEND

TO LEARN IN MEDICAL SCHOOL THAT SHE MAY HAVE MISSED OUT ON.

LAMAZE CLASS IS MORE LIKE BREATHING EXERCISES

WITH YOUR PARTNER.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO, YOU KNOW -- RIGHT?

ISN'T THAT WHAT THEY GO THROUGH? -YEAH.

YOU ACTED AS CHER'S PARTNER IN DELIVERING?

YES. WE HAD TO SIT --

YOU'D THINK THAT THE PRACTICE

OF GIVING BIRTH WOULD BE WITH YOUR HUSBAND.

YEAH. THIS WAS MY PARTNER.

THE OTHER GIRL DIDN'T BRING HER MOM.

[ LAUGHTER ]

I FEEL LIKE SHE'S GONNA WANT JARED TO BE

THE ONE HOLDING HER...

JARED WILL BE THERE, TOO.

...THE ONE HELPING HER BREATHE.

Grant: IT'S A LITTLE BIT STRANGE THAT MY MOM IS THE ONE

TO BE TAKING CHER TO AN INTIMATE CLASS.

YOU KNOW, HONESTLY, IT'S KIND OF SOMETHING

THAT REALLY SHOULD BE DONE BETWEEN A WOMAN AND HER PARTNER.

IT MAY BE A LITTLE TOO MUCH, OR OVERSTEPPING HER BOUNDARIES.

WHAT DOES JARED THINK ABOUT YOU GOING IN HIS PLACE, ESSENTIALLY?

I HAD CHAD. I HAD CHER.

HE DOESN'T KNOW MOM WENT FOR THE --

YOU GUYS WENT TO LAMAZE TODAY?

IT WAS A SURPRISE. IT WAS A SURPRISE.

Cher: I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS TO TELL JARED

THAT WE WENT TO A LAMAZE CLASS TODAY

BECAUSE I'M SURE THAT

HE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE WANTED TO BE INCLUDED.

AND ALSO, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT,

YOU KNOW, IF WE DECIDED TO DO IT,

IT'S SOMETHING, USUALLY, YOU KNOW, COUPLES DO TOGETHER.

BUT INSTEAD, I DID IT WITH MY MOM.

HI, JARED!

HI!

-I BET. -YEAH?

I HAD A LONG DAY AT WORK.

YEAH. I'M GLAD IT'S OVER.

READY FOR THE WEEKEND.

SO, WHAT'D YOU GUYS DO TODAY?

WELL, I SURPRISED CHER TODAY...

BY TAKING HER TO A LAMAZE CLASS.

I THOUGHT WE DISCUSSED DOING -- YOU WERE GONNA HAVE AN EPIDURAL.

WE DID.

YOU GUYS PLANNED THIS WHOLE THING,

AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME THAT?

I DIDN'T PLAN IT. I DIDN'T KNOW.

IT WAS A SURPRISE.IT WAS A TOTAL SURPRISE FOR ME.

IT WAS ONLY ONE CLASS.

CHER AND HAD ALREADY TALKED ABOUT OUR BIRTH PLAN,

WHICH WAS HER WANTING TO GET THE EPIDURAL,

AND NOT DOING A NATURAL BIRTH.

SO, I'M PRETTY ANNOYED THAT THEY WENT TO A LAMAZE CLASS

WITHOUT TALKING TO ME.

DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER CLASSES PLANNED, OR,

THAT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT?

USUALLY, I DON'T SAY ANYTHING.

I PICK MY BATTLES.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS MY CHILD, TOO.

DAWN CAN'T EXCLUDE ME FROM THE DECISION-MAKING

JUST BY TAKING CHER AWAY WHEN I'M AT WORK.

I FELT THAT THIS CLASS WOULD GET HER INVOLVED,

AND MAYBE INTERESTED, INSTEAD OF BEING SO CLOSE-MINDED.

OF COURSE, SHE COULD ALWAYS DO THE EPIDURAL

IF SHE CAN'T TAKE IT. BUT AT LEAST TRY.

THAT'S NOT TRUE. THAT'S NOT TRUE.

SOMETIMES, YOU GET PAST THE POINT

WHERE YOU CAN GET AN EPIDURAL SAFELY.

RIGHT?

IF YOU GO TOO FAR ALONG IN THE CONTRACTIONS,

AND THE PREGNANCY, IF YOU'RE DILATED TOO MUCH,

THEN, IT'S A LITTLE BIT TOO LATE TO ACTUALLY HAVE THE EPIDURAL.

I JUST WANTED HER TO BE INFORMATIVE OF IT,

TO HEAR EVERYTHING, TO HAVE AN OPEN MIND,

INSTEAD OF HAVING A CLOSED MIND.

OF DOING A BIRTH NATURALLY BY TAKING HER TO THIS CLASS

WE'RE ALWAYS LIKE, "UGH, WAS IT NECESSARY?"

'CAUSE WE'RE BEAT UP AFTER THE PARTY.

WHY DON'T WE JUST SKIP THE NAIL PLACE, AND GO OVER THERE --

NO!...AND SETTLE THIS.

LET'S GO TO THE PIZZA PLACE, AND GET THIS OVER WITH.

NO. I WENT THERE LAST WEEK, AND SAID ONE THING TO HIM

WHILE HE WAS WORKING, AND HE GOT PISSED.

THE LAST THING I NEED TO DO IS GO THERE TODAY,

AND HIM GET PISSED AT ME WHILE HE'S WORKING.

I KNOW, BUT I DON'T WANT TO WAIT.

I DON'T WANT TO WAIT ON THIS. THIS IS JUST DUMB.

I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.

I WANT A DECISION ON THIS.

FINE! FINE.

FINE.

EVERY TIME I GO VISIT CARLO AT THE PIZZA PLACE

WHILE HE'S WORKING, HE BASICALLY KICKS ME OUT,

AND TELLS ME TO GO "F" MYSELF.

SO, AMBUSHING HIM RIGHT NOW IS NOT A GOOD IDEA.

BUT RIGHT NOW, MY MOM DOESN'T CARE.

I JUST WANT TO GO GET MY NAILS DONE.

HONEY, I'M HERE.

Kathy: AND I'M WITH HER.

WHAT'S UP?

Carlo: WHEN I'M AT WORK, I LIKE TO DO MY OWN THING.

I DON'T LIKE TO BE INTERRUPTED. I'M IN A ZONE.

WHEN KATHY AND CRISTINA COME HERE, YOU KNOW,

IT MAKES IT A LITTLE BIT DIFFICULT FOR ME

TO GET MY THINGS DONE.

YOU KNOW, I JUST DON'T LIKE TO BE BOTHERED.

Cristina: SO, WHAT'S GOING ON?

JUST WORKING.

I WAS GOING TO GET MY NAILS DONE.

SHE SAID WE COULDN'T GO GET OUR NAILS DONE

BECAUSE WE STILL HAVEN'T DECIDED ABOUT THE COMMUNION PARTY.

I TOLD YOU WHAT THE SITUATION WAS.

I STILL DON'T WANT TO HAVE A BIG PARTY.

I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU WANT TO HAVE.

I TOLD YOU WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO.

WE NEED TO SERIOUSLY TALK ABOUT IT,

AND YOU KEEP BLOWING ME OFF 'CAUSE YOU'RE BUSY.

OKAY, WELL...

I DON'T WANT TO HAVE A BIG PARTY.

I DON'T WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY.

I DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH THE PEOPLE.

I MEAN...

WHAT'S THE REASON YOU WANT THIS BIG PARTY ANYWAY?

'CAUSE I WANT MY FAMILY TO CELEBRATE FOR MY SON.

THAT'S IT.

I TOLD CRISTINA MANY TIMES

I'D LIKE TO HAVE A LARGE PARTY FOR MY FAMILY,

HER FAMILY, YOU KNOW.

I'D LIKE TO SPEND TIME WITH THE FAMILY

I DON'T GET TO SEE AS MUCH AS I'D LIKE TO.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE THIS PARTY -- A BIG PARTY.

THAT'S IT.

KATHY AND CRISTINA ALWAYS THINK

THAT THEY COULD PUT THEIR TWO CENTS IN

AFTER A DECISION'S BEEN MADE, BUT I DON'T ROLL LIKE THAT.

SO, IT'S BIG PARTY, AND THAT'S IT.

ALRIGHT.

YOU WON'T EVEN, LIKE, SEE MY SIDE JUST A LITTLE BIT.

LIKE, "OH, YOU KNOW WHAT? MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT.

MAYBE IT WOULD BE NICE."

"YEAH, MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT. MAYBE" --

OH, OKAY. HERE, HERE. YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.

LET'S NOT GO OVERBOARD.

-NO! -NO!

-NO! -OKAY.

IF THERE'S A PARTY, IT'S NOT GONNA BE JANKY.

DON'T PULL THIS [BLEEP] WITH ME. NO.

YOU WANT A BIG PARTY, THEN WE CAN DO WHAT WE WANT.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY YOU'RE INVOLVED

IN THIS WHOLE SITUATION.

I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'RE INVOLVED!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WHY I'M INVOLVED?

I'M THE ONE WHO -- THOSE ARE MY KIDS.

I'M PAYING FOR IT. WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

Carlo: IT'S BETWEEN MY WIFE AND I,

NOT ME, MY WIFE, AND MY MOTHER-IN-LAW.

I DON'T NEED HER INVOLVED.

THIS IS BETWEEN HER AND I.

I TOLD HER A MILLION TIMES --

NO, IT'S NOT BETWEEN YOU AND HER!

IT IS BETWEEN HER AND I!

BECAUSE I END UP DOING HALF THE [BLEEP] ANYWAY!

WELL, BLAME YOUR DAUGHTER ON THAT.

THAT'S NOT MY PROBLEM.

I TOLD HER TO DEAL, AND THAT'S IT.

I'M NOT ASKING YOUR PERMISSION TO BE INVOLVED.

I'M INVOLVED.

IF I ALLOW YOU TO BE INVOLVED, THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE.

LISTEN! YOU ARE STUCK WITH ME! YOU WANT TO BE IN THIS?

I'M INVOLVED, BABY. I'M INVOLVED.

Kathy: I DON'T UNDERSTAND HIM.

IT'S LIKE CARLO DOESN'T EVEN CARE.

WE'RE DOING ALL THIS WORK FOR A BUNCH OF PEOPLE

THAT DON'T EVEN WANT TO BE AROUND US.

IF WE THROW THIS PARTY, AND ANYTHING HAPPENS

BETWEEN CARLO'S FAMILY AND US,

I AM NOT GOING TO LET CARLO HEAR THE END OF IT.

YOU GUYS GOT TO GO. I GOT [BLEEP] TO DO.

LET'S GO.LET'S GO.

GOODBYE!

Cristina: HE'S STUPID.

OKAY, WELL, HE WANTS A PARTY, HE'LL GET HIS BIG

[BLEEP] PARTY. OKAY?

ALRIGHT.

WE'RE GONNA THROW A BIG-ASS BLOWOUT COMMUNION PARTY.

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR, 'CAUSE, NOW, HE'S GONNA GET IT.

AND I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ONE COMPLAINT ALONG THE WAY.

YEAH. NOT ONE COMPLAINT ABOUT THE MONEY, ABOUT ANYTHING.

TIME, WHEN WE'RE CRAZY, WHEN WE'RE ARGUING

AND WE'RE YELLING AT HIM.

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT.
