I promised her on my life
I'd be home tonight.

I promised her that this night was gonna be
a love night, a special night, somethin'.

I didn't know this goddamn thing
was gonna happen.

Water main in the middle of the night.

Bet you didn't even call her.

I can't call her.
How am I gonna call her?

She already sent the kids
to her mother's.

She'll climb the walls,
break dishes, scream.

Mabel's a delicate, sensitive woman.

Mabel's not crazy.

She's unusual.
She's not crazy, so don't say she's crazy.

This woman cooks, sews,
makes the bed, washes the bathroom.

What the hell is crazy about that?

I don't understand what she's doing.
I admit that.

But I think I know.
She's mad at me.

- Well, call her.
- You see, there's something wrong
with her, Eddie.

- Call her.
- She's not like a normal person.

This woman, you know,
she could get hit by a car...

burn down the house.

Jesus Christ.
I don't know what she can do.

Hi, baby.

Listen, I'm in trouble down here.
The - The water main downtown here burst.

The thing busted.
The whole thing is busted...

Yeah.

Baby, I'm gonna make this up to ya.
I'm not goin' to work tomorrow.

and we're gonna be together tomorrow.

All day.
All right, sweetheart?

Yeah.

Okay, sweetheart.

You're my girl.

Sometimes it looks that way,
and sometimes it doesn't.

We could get some fresh air

Why don't we go to your place?

Okay.

Why don't we just do that.

or me with him, forget it!

I never met the man.

And don't blame yourself for me
if that's what you're doin'.

Are you in the shower?

Okay, as long as the shower's runnin',

At least I hope you're all right.

but I'd really like to get some sleep.

Sorry, sweetheart.

Guess what, Pop.

I just learned how to whistle

Do you know?

Hey, listen, can I ask you kids
a question about me?

Huh? Can I?

When you see me, you know,

"Oh, I know her. That's Mom"?

Or do you ever think -
I mean, do you ever think of me as, uh -

No, you're smart, you're pretty...

Oh.

Okay. There it is. Solid flab.

Okay. Now let me feel it, huh?

You see how good this whole thing is?

Keep down.

Okay. Okay.

Here they come.

- Hello! Hello!

Don't just stand there on the outside.
This is a house where people come in. Hello, hello.

- My wife couldn't make it.
- Oh, yes. Well, I'm sorry.

Tony, you know the kids.
And, uh - And this is Mr. Jensen, right?

¿ Cómo está usted ?

- He's speaking Spanish.
- Bien, bien.

Hey. Hey. How about that?
Do you want some tea?

No, thank you.
I just thought I'd drop the kids off.

down at the stationers.
- Ah.

- You're uncomfortable, aren't you?
- Well, no.

Yeah, you are.
Just a little bit uncomfortable.

Come on. Come on.
Hey. Come on.

Hey, that's a nice ring.

Come on. Come on. A little smile.
Come on. Come on. Let's have some fun.

Hey, that's it. Come on.

Let's have a little fun.
You wanna play with the kids?

All right. Careful, Angela. Don't drop it.

Okay. Here we go.

Okay. That's it, Tony.
Put it right over on the table, honey.

- Wow!
- What do you think, huh? Huh?

- Wow!
- Yeah.

Okay, put it right next to the punch.
Right on the table. Okay?

- Okay.
- That's it. Be careful.

That's it. That's it.

Terrific. Right there.
Bravo! Great.

Do you dance?

Oh, that's too bad, because -

Hey, kids, it's time to dance.

You see that? Once they get together,
they're not interested in anything.

That's what you have to break. You have to break
through that and make 'em interested in things.

In, uh, languages,
in singing, dancing.

- Jokes even. Fun, everything.
- Can I have my tea now?

Oh, screw the tea.
What's the matter with you?

Hey, you hear that?

You don't believe in miracles?
That's Swan Lake.

That's perfect.
That's perfect!

Hey, kids. Kids. Girls.
This is Swan Lake.

You remember the dying swan?

Come on. That's -
Come and die for Mr. Jensen.

Come on, guys. We'll be the chorus.
Come on. You take Tony's hand.

Here. Come on. Come on.

Come on. Tony. Come on.

We'll go around this way,
and we'll be the chorus for 'em.

Come on.

Come on.
Die for Mr. Jensen.

Okay. Come on.

Come on, girls.
Die for Mr. Jensen. Come on.

Come on, Maria. You know the dying swan.
Come on. Come on.

That's it. That's it.

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

Bravo! Come on!
They just died for you. Come on.

Yeah. I love you too.
Hold on.

I'll get her.

Mama, Pa's on the telephone.

Well, tell him we're in the middle of a party.

Okay. I'll tell him
you don't wanna talk to him.

No. Don't tell him that.
That's not what I said. Wait a minute.

Here. I 'll get it.
Never mind. I'll get it.

Hello, Nick? Hello.
It's working.

Oh. I'm sorry.
I'm out of breath.

It's working.
Listen, I'm a great mother.

I not only - I not only love our kids...

I love the Jensen kids,
I love Mr. Jensen.

Ah, they're all wonderful.
They're beautiful.

I'm never gonna be mean again. Never.

Yeah. Mr. Jensen. Oh, he was
such a stiff when he came over...

but I got him loosened up.

You know, I got him dancing,
and I got him singing.

- Hello? Hello?
- What's the matter, Mom?

Damn telephones!

Okay.

Okay, now we've got
one of two choices.

We can, uh, do our homework...

or we could, uh, make costumes.

Yea!

You want to make costumes? Okay.

All right. Maria, you take the girls up
and put on some eye shadow and lipstick...

and some of those crazy,
you know, costumes you do.

And, uh, Tony, you, um,
do the pirate thing...

with the - with the patch on the eye
and some, uh, earrings and scarves.

You know which ones
I mean, don't you? Okay?

What's your name again?

- Harold.
- Harold.

Your first name?

Harold.

Harold? Oh, you poor thing.

You can't name somebody Harold.

Hey, would you dance with me?

Hmm?

I'm worried about the kids -
about leaving them here with you.

Which kids?

About the - my kids,
leaving them here.

And the reason
I'm worried is that...

you've been actin' a little strange.

Uh, I - I wonder if you've been
aware of that or not.

Who did all this? Where did all these -
Who took all these clothes out?

- Who did this?
- Me.

Who took - You?

Why did you do this?

Why?

Why? This is not your house.

Come on. Get up. Get up.

Now get dressed!
Don't stand there! Get dressed!

Take this off and get dressed.
Come on.

Put it on.
Pick this all up now.

Where's your brother John?

John.

John.

Adrienne, take off those clothes.
Come on. We're going home.

Daddy will help you dress.

- John, where's your clothes?
- Downstairs.

- Go downstairs and get 'em.
- Yes, sir.

- I'm awfully sorry.
- Yes.

I really wanted it to be nice.

I know you did.

Maria. Maria, where are you going, Maria?

- Maria. Come here, Maria.
- Maria, come here. Come over -

- Maria, come here.
- Please, Maria.

Why aren't you having
any clothes on, darling?

Who took your clothes?
This kid is naked.

All right, Mama. Come here.
Now, who took off your clothes?

Tell Daddy.
Who took off your clothes? Hmm?

Who took off your clothes?
Please tell Daddy.

- Mama.
- Who? Mommy?

Mommy took your clothes off, darling?

All right. Come on.
We'll get some clothes on.

Hurry up.

All right. That's it.
Just - Just leave her alone. Leave her alone!

What the hell is goin' on here?
What are you doin' in my room?

- Can I talk to you a minute?
- Get out!

Nick.

See what you made me do? Huh?

Having a party?
Get out of here.

Take your kids and get out of here.

- John, where's your shoes?
- Upstairs.

Go up - Go upstairs,
find 'em, put 'em on.

Adrienne, help pick this stuff up.

Good. All right.
Come on. Clean up.

Forget about that.
Just get out.

Come on, honey.
Let's go. Come on.

John.

- What?
- John. Well, come on. Where's your shoes?

I can't find 'em.

Where you goin'?

Look, I'm fed up with you,
your kids, your wife and your whole family!

I'm gonna get my kid!

Ooh! Stop it!

Nicky! Nicky! Nicky!

- Mama, for Christ's sake!
- You're gonna kill him! Stop!

Get out of here!
Get out of here!

- Get out! I'll kill you and your kids!
- John, come on.

Now get outta here
and stay on your side!

What the hell are you doin'?

Get outta here!
What are you doin'? Get out!

Is Dr. Zepp there?

Who's this?
Katherine, where's Dr. Zepp?

Well, I've been waiting. He's not here.

Well, where could he be, Katherine?

No, nobody's sick.
Mabel's crazy.

Where's Dr. Zepp?

- I mean, where is he, Katherine?
- He's on his way.

- Well, goddamn it, he's not here!
- Please don't talk to me like that.

I'm sorry, Katherine.
Now, could he stop off anyplace or what?

- No.
- I mean, is it gonna be five minutes
or 10 minutes? What is it gonna be?

Jesus Christ!

Jesus Christ!

Never mind.

Don't get up. Don't move.
You don't move.

Ma!

Ma! Ma!

No. Just stay there, or I'll kill ya!

Don't need your help!
Get my own cigarettes.

Don't need anybody's help.

My own.

You're gonna be committed.

Goin' to the hospital
until you get better.

You just, uh -

You got embarrassed,
and you made a jerk of yourself. That's all.

I make a jerk of myself every day. I'm -

I'm not sore at you.

I mean, you hit me.
You never did that before. I -

Didn't feel that, if that's what you -

you feel bad about.

I -

I always understood you,
and you always understood me...

and that was always just...

how it was, and that's it.

"Till death do us part," Nick.
You said it.

Remember? He said, "Do you,
Mabel Mortensen, take this man?"

- "I do." "I do, " Nick.

"I do."

Remember, I said...

"It's gonna work
because I 'm already pregnant."

Don't let that mind
run away on you now.

Remember how you laughed?

- Don't, Mabel.
- Nick. You laughed.

- Don't.
- Don't you remember?

And he was mad as a big toad.

Don't do that.

Hey, don't be sad.

I know you love me.

- Hey.
- We had plenty of time
to find that out, didn't we?

You and I know.

You see that, Nick?
That's how close we are.

And they can't pull us apart.
They can't force us apart.

'Cause...

we're together.

I don't know who you are.

Don't say that, honey.

I'm not sore at you.
I'm not mad or anything.

Mabel...

don't.

You sit there and pretend you -

All of that doesn't mean -
And you know.

You know.

It's us.

- You're going with them out there on the outside.
- Be still.

- And we're supposed to be on the inside.
We were always there.
- Shut up!

You little...

teeny...

skinny, little...

bug!

Nick. What's wrong?

It's all right.
It's all over.

Hello, Mabel.

Oh, Mabel.
Gee, you're beautiful.

- Hello, Margaret.
- Hello.

- You look great.
- How are ya?

What's up?

Nobody here needs a doctor.

I had the hiccups a little while ago,
but I got rid of 'em.

What's up?

Has she been drinking?

Sure.

Oh, sure. I've been drinking.
This is a drink, huh?

Sure.

- Mabel, did you take a pill?

Did you take any pills?

- A pill?
- Mm-hmm.

Ah.

- Is morphine a pill?
- Mmm.

Sure, I've taken pills. I've...

taken vitamin pills and, uh...

sleeping pills.

Uppers, downers, inners, outers.

What did you tell him, Mama?
That I drink?

Yes. You drink.

Listen, Zepp.
I - I am a little upset. I -

That's why I - I - I act upset
a little bit, I guess...

and I look upset, but...

occasionally I calm down.

You do calm down.

I do have anxieties, though.

Don't let this woman in my house.

By the staircase.

She's guarding that staircase.

Up above are my children
in my house.

This. This. This. This. That.

Mabel, what's troubling you?

What trouble?

Well, you said you were upset.

Did you and Nick have a fight?

Nick, I get -
I get the idea there's...

some kind of a conspiracy going on here.

I mean, you've been looking at me
so quiet-like and, uh -

- He's got something in that bag.
- Don't be concerned about this bag.

He's going to try to imprison me
with something in that bag.

- Don't be concerned about this bag.
- Am I right?

- Don't be concerned about this bag.
- Am I right, Nick?

Am I right, Nick?

Am I right, Nick?

Mabel, would you please
make me a drink?

Ah!

- You - You want a drink, Zepp?
- Yeah.

- You want a martini, Zepp?
- Yeah. Mm-hmm.

- You wanna have a little fun?
You don't mind making a drink?
- No, I don't mind.

Nah! You want a drink, Zepp?

Okay.

The ice is in the kitchen and -
and the vermouth is in the -

It's right past her.

Vodka. On the left there.

You make the drink, Zepp,
and... I'll watch them.

Doctor. Doctor, aren't you
gonna give her a shot?

No! No!

Mabel, we're trying to help you.

Is that what you're trying to do?

- Yes.
- Is that what you're trying to do?

- Is that what she's trying to do, Nick?
- We're trying to help you!

You be quiet.

One, you're acting crazy.

And, uh...

for what?

There's no reason.

The man's here on a call - a social call.

Nobody is sick.

Why are you so insecure?

Hmm?

Everybody loves ya.

Do you love me, Nick?

This woman - This woman has to go!

- I love ya.
- Nick.

- That's right. I love ya.
- Think of the children!

This woman can't stay
in this house anymore!

You can't stay here!

- For Christ's sakes -
- Listen. Doctor.

- Doctor!
- Hey. Let go of me.

- My son tells me stories.
- Just don't grab my bathrobe.

He tells me stories of the talk -

the small talk, the little things...

- the insecurity.

- Mabel.
- Go ahead. Go ahead.

Tell me what your son says.
Go ahead. Tell me what he says.

- Go ahead.
- I'll tell you what he says.

- He says you give him nothing!
- Hey.

- You're empty inside.
- Ma.

- Your children are naked! They're hungry!
- Ma.

That's what he said!

Doctor.

Last night you brought a man in the house!

My son is a good boy, Doctor.

He's a good boy!
He never says anything!

- He doesn't say anything!
- I never said that.

- I didn't say that.
- Margaret. Margaret.

- This woman is crazy!
- Margaret.

- Margaret.
- She's crazy!

- Will you go upstairs?
- Please, Margaret.

- Now, go upstairs.
- Listen to me.

- She's a grown person.
- I won't go - I won't go upstairs!

- She's a grown person.
- Doctor.

- Doc, take her upstairs.
- She's a grown person. Please.

- Doctor, she's crazy!
- She's an adult,
and I would like to talk to her. Please.

I have five points, Nick.

I figured it out, and -

They're for me.

- For us.
- Mabel.

One is love.

Two is...

friendship, and three is...

our...

comfort.

And four is...

I'm a good mother, Nicky, and -

Mabel, I love you.

Um -

I belong to you.
That's it.

Those are my five points.
That's what I -

I have five points. One.

F-Five... points.

- Come here. Now listen to me.

- Baby..

you know how I feel about you.

- You're a great mother.

Take deep breaths.
Take deep breaths. I love you.

You've made me happy.
Take a deep breath.

Take deep breaths.

- And if I've made a mistake, I'm sorry.
- Nick.

- Nick. Nick, I need -
- Sit down!

I'll knock you right on your ass!

- Mabel.

- Baby.

I love you.

I'd like to give you a little sedative
to calm you down.

- Please.
- Relax.

- Mabel, it won't hurt you.
- Doc.

- Hey, Doc, Drac, back.
- Mabel.

- Get back to your coffin. Get back.
- Mabel, this -

- I will never hurt you.
- Back. Back!

- Leave me alone.
- I won't hurt you.

- My God, I'm part of this family.
Would I hurt you?

- Mabel.
- Back.

Mabel...

this'll make you rest,
this little sedative.

- It'll calm you down.
- I'm calm.

You're sick!

You're sick. You need a rest.
Your eyes are terrible.

- I love you.
- Lie down. Lie down here.

You're awful! You're sick!
Get a doctor for him!

He's a very sick man!
Get him!

- Get him! Get him!
- Mabel.

- Mabel, you're gonna have
a nervous breakdown.
- No!

Get him away from -

- You must go to the hospital.
- Hospital!

Don't, baby. Stop that!

Nick! Nick! Don't let him! Please!

I - I promise. I won't want anything.
Just let me stay in my house, please.

Nicky, I promise.
I don't want anything.

I'll be - I'll be content.

Please. Please, Nick. Please.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- Okay.
- What about my children?

- What about the children?
- I love you.

- Can they go with me?
- I love you.

Please don't say no, Doctor, please.

Listen, they need help.
They - They need care.

- The children.
- All right, darling.

- Let them come with me because -
- Listen to me.

- No. They've gotta be protected.
- Listen to me.

- I want to protect my children.
- I love you.

They're subject to insanity.

- Try, baby. Stop that.
- Insanity, morning, noon and night.

- Stop talking.
- Morning, get up.

Go to bed. Go to sleep.
That's insanity, isn't it?

No. No. I'm gonna take 'em with me.

No. No, I'm gonna take 'em with me
because I'm gonna protect 'em.

You understand me? They're mine,
and I'm gonna protect 'em!

- I love you!

I love you. I'll lay down
on the railroad track for you.

If I made a mistake,
which I did, I'm sorry.

But so what?
What's the difference? I love you.

- Now relax. Come back to me.
- Nick.

- Relax and come back to me.
- Nick.

- Get out of here!
- Get out of here!

I'll kill ya!
Don't touch me.

You're not gonna make me.
Taking me anyplace.

And you! You're gonna
let him take me. I'll kill -

Yes.

- Nick, I need your help now.

You cannot come in here!
Leave those children alone!

Leave those children alone!

Please. You cannot take -
Don't take the children.

I'm not mad at you.
Please. I understand.

Please, let me handle this.

- I know, but -

Mabel, be calm. Be calm, Mabel. Mabel.

Let me handle this. Mabel, please.

Where are my children?

Oh, Mabel. Oh.

All right!

All right!
That's enough!

Please. Please.

- Let the child go, please.
- Please.

Mabel.

Mabel, look at me.

I have a piece of paper here that says -

Hey, what do you say, Nick?

What time is it?

- I heard you had some trouble at home.
- Cut it out.

What? Something to do
with the kids or somethin'.

I don't want anybody discussing my affairs.

- All right, Nick.
- Is that clear?

Well, yeah. Yeah.
But I'm not the only one.

Don't discuss my affairs!

Well, all right, then. Okay.

I'm sorry.

- What are you bananas doin'?
- Hey, Nick. What's with you and Mabel?
What happened?

Hey, Nick. What's the story?

Anything I can do for ya?
Anything Angie and I can do for ya?

I called your house last night. Tony answered.
He give you the message?

He said something about, uh,
Mabel being in a nuthouse. Is that right?

She got a screw loose. She needs some time, okay?
Is that what you want to hear, you asshole?

Ah, fuck off.

I gotta find another way to make a living.

- Nobody say nothin' about Mabel.
- Yeah.

- I'll be getting to work pretty soon.
- Please don't say nothin' about Mabel.

Bring it on, baby.

You're a silent son of a bitch.

Don't give me that shit!

From the moment I got here, that's all
anybody's been talkin' about - Mabel.

Well, don't say you don't know
when you do know!

I didn't say I don't know.

You goddamn Mexican Indian,
don't you walk away from me!

You got something to say to me, say it!

But don't you walk away from me!

Hey, he just went over!

I want to stop off at my kids' school
and pick up my kids.

Comes to mind, I don't know my kids.

I'm never with 'em.

They're a little shook right now.
I want to take them to the beach.

You want me to go with ya, Nick?

I'll go with ya.

- Thank you very much, Miss -
- Miss Hinkley. I'm the school principal.

Where's Tony?
The other lady was gonna get him.

- Mrs. Flowers.
- What time is it?

What time is it?
This dame don't have the time.

- It was 10:00 when we got here.
- Never mind. Here he is.

Tony.

- What's up, Pop?
- Tony, get in the back of the truck.

- Are they going -
- Take these two kids - Yes.

Put 'em in the back of the truck.
Don't let 'em fall down.

Put that safety bar up.
Stay by the back.

- And no kidding around back there.
- Are they gonna be here tomorrow?

- Yeah!
- Oh.

Here. These should fit ya.
See if they're your size.

Whatever they are, I'll wear 'em, Nick.

Hurry up and get dressed.

And make sure you bring
a shirt and a sweater.

And a pair of shoes.
Nobody gets pneumonia when I'm the father.

Kids!

How's this, Pop?

Hello, Dad.

What a day, Nick. I haven't been
to the beach without my wife in 12 years.

We used to live in the water
when I was a kid.

"Fish" they called me.

I was thin, see.

Lips all blue.

Shakin'. I was always lookin' for girls.

My kids, they're all grown up now.

My brother, Marco,
he's a college graduate.

Communist. Couldn't keep a job.

Too many big ideas.

Reads too much.
I say let the girls read.

They love to read.
You know what I mean?

- Okay, let's enjoy ourselves, okay?
- Okay.

- Yes.
- I want to talk to my kids too.

Talk to your kids?
They never listen.

Why should they listen?

Okay, Tony. That's enough.

All right. Just a sip.
Not like your brother.

Can I have some, Dad?

All right.

Just a little bit.
Not too much now.

See, you gotta be careful
on a funny day like today.

We could all get too - too drunk.

But, you know, a little beer, it's good.
You sleep like rocks.

There you go, Tony.

That's enough now.

I'm sorry I had to send your mother away.
I'm sorry for everything.

She's gonna follow the truck - Betty.

Now you follow Betty.
That way you'll get to the house.

You could have picked her up.

It is too much.

Hey, Nick.
Can I talk to you a minute?

- Can I talk to you?
- What's the matter?

Look, I don't think I oughta stay here.

I don't know Mabel, and I don't know too many
of the people inside - especially their wives.

What do you think?

Surprise party!
Everybody's gonna be lookin'?

Can't stand out there!

Hey, you! Come on! Inside!

And you must go home. Immediately.

Vito. You know Vito. Grimaldi.

I'm Mary, his wife.

And if you -
Anything you need, just let me know.

Please let me know.

God love ya. You look terrific.
I love you, sweetheart.

Boy. Phew.

Rested.

I'm so happy to see you, darling.

Oh!

Are you hungry?
Would you want something to eat?

- No.
- No?

Well, will you say hel -
your hellos to everybody?

- You saw Nick?
- Here are all the people.

- Nick.
- I'm very happy to see you, Mabel.

Must have been hard.

I'm sorry to have been the one
to have done the committing.

- I know.
- But I know that you know...

that it was the best thing.

So I hope we can be friends again.

Don't talk about the past, Doctor.

Hello, Mabel.

It's Tina. Hi, Mabel.
You look great. Great.

The children have been fine. No calls, no fever.

- Hello, Mabel.
- Mama's good, and Nicky's always healthy.

You look wonderful.
Just wonderful.

And we're happy to see you again...

and let us all
cut our welcoming speeches short...

because I'm very, very hungry...

and I'm sure you must be hungry too.

Okay, Adolph.
We're all going to eat.

You look great.
You really look good.

- How do you do? I'm Mabel's mother.
- You look good. God, you look sexy.

- And this is her father George.
- She looks wonderful.

- She does look wonderful.
- Oh.

Very, very good.

And we'll go to lunch, or go to a movie, huh?

- We'll go, right? Okay?
- I could use a nice, hot cup of coffee.

And I'm sure that you are, like me...

- All right?
- a man of breeds...

that is hungry.

Let's see if we can find a cup of coffee.

Of course you're hungry.
We'll do something about that.

- Thank you very much.
- I don't think the young people
think enough about how important food is.

- Could I see the children?
- They go about eating like birds.

Why don't you wait a minute?
You go in there, they're gonna start to cry...

and you're gonna start to cry,
and everybody's gonna get so emotional.

- I think it's better. Sweetie.
- I've gotta see the children now.

- Yes. You can see them.
- Where are they?

They're in there.
Go ahead, dear. Go in.

- Why shouldn't she see the children?
- You do think she looks good?

- Hi, Mom.
- Hi, Mom.

Hi, Mom.

- Hi, Mom.
- Hi, Mom.

I love you, Mom.

- I love you, Mama.
- Okay. Enough now.

I'm sorry.

Is everything okay, Mom?

Yes.

It's just been such a long time.

Oh, hello, banana.

Hello, my little banana.
How are ya?

I missed you.

Where's Maria?

Maria, come on over here
and see me.

You want me to come over to you?

- If you want to.
- You want me?

If you want to.

All right.
I'll just stay here then.

Are you feeling better, Mom?

Haven't got any more stomachaches?

I mean, haven't got any more headaches?

No. I - I 'm just trying very hard
not to get excited.

Okay.

No emotions now.
I really want to be calm.

I really did miss -

- That's enough now.
- Are you tired or anything?

You look great, Mom.
How are ya?

I'm gonna kiss your hand.

How you -
Did you miss us?

- Oh, Doc.
- Oh. No, it's -

- Gee, I'm terribly sorry.
- No, it's my fault.

No, I pulled the chair out,
and I thought you saw me.

Look, hon.

Everybody is having a good time here,
but I think we should leave you alone...

so that you can relax.

You're staying for dinner.

I would stay for dinner...

but, uh, uh, it's unbelievable.

If you're gonna have spaghetti,
I can't stay.

- George.
- I can't stay because I can't eat it.

- Sit down!
- No offense. I just don't like spaghetti.

- I'm not a spaghetti man.
- Sit down, George!

- Don't you tell me to sit down!
- Dad.

Hey.

Come on.

I'll sit down here with you, Dad.

You can sit anywhere you like, hon.

I'm very happy to see my family.

Do I look pretty, Dad?

You look beautiful, hon.

- You think I'm gonna be all right?
- You're gonna be fine.

Just fine.

Mabel, honey.

Why don't you go over
and sit with your mother?

Go sit with your mother, hon.

Come on. Excuse us for a minute.

Come on. Don't worry.
It's all right.

- I'm with you. There's nothing you can do wrong.
- I don't know what to do.

- There's nothing you can do wrong.
- I don't know what you want.

I just want you to be yourself.
This is your house.

- The hell with them! Up theirs! The hell with them!
- I don't know what to - I can't.

- Just be yourself. Be yourself.
- Can't.

Come on.

Be happy. Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Come on.

That's right. That-a-girl.

Look.

Ba! Ba! Ba!
That's it, huh?

All right. Give me a "ba-ba."

Ba-ba.

Give me another "ba-ba."

Ba-ba.

- Give me a better "ba-ba."
- Ba-ba.

No! A real "ba-ba."

- Come on.

All right. Everybody in the dining room.
We're gonna have a party.

Come on.

Come on. Come on.
Let's make it like a house. Come on.

Let's enjoy ourselves.

Let's have a little warmth here.

Tina, you ready?
We're ready.

Go on in, Doc. Come on.

- Mama, talk to the people. Be a host.
- Okay, okay.

- Hi. Hi, Zepp.
- Hi.

- Hi, Dr. Zepp!
- Hello, Tony.

- Hi. Hi, Tony.
- Hi!

- Hi, Maria.
- Hi, Angelo.

Hello, sweetheart.

Hi, Maria.

- Okay.
- Hello, darling.

- I'll get this one, Dr. Zepp.
- Sure, sweetheart.

- I - I -
- She's a great helper.

- Maybe they need water.
- I think so.

- Here.
- Here's a chair. Here.

Have you got a chair?
You're a good girl.

That's a good girl.

Everybody sit down.

- Here's another chair.
- Adolph, you sit here.

There you are.

Thank you.

Can I help you out, Maria?

- I'll get here. You get over there.
- Zepp, you're here.

- Thank you.
- Watch your bag.

Mabel.

Thank you, Tony.

- All right.
- All right. Here we are.

Tina, we're ready.
Stop acting like strangers. All right.

So, what was it like up there? Terrible?

Good? Bad? What?

Everybody's here.

Seems like a party.

You should have seen it before.
We had 60 people here.

- Nobody thought it was a good idea
to have a lot of people...
- That's right.

but I thought it was a good idea.

'Cause I think friends are a good idea.

And good times are a good idea.

- Right, Zepp?
- Right on.

- Right, Adolph?
- Absolutely so.

You see?

I mean, uh, no sense
talking about the past.

The past is the past.
That's dead.

Forget about that.

Good times from now on.

That's what we're gonna have.

Things are gonna get
better and better and better...

and then they'll get better than that,
and then they'll get better.

Yea!

Tony, did you see that?

Did you see your mother wink at me?

- Could I have a cup of tea?
- Yes, dear.

Tina's preparing some things
in the kitchen, if you'd like.

I'm gonna go in there a minute.

Zepp, uh, do you think she's all right?

- She's a little crazy in -
- Oh, Mama.

- The girl's fine.
- They gave her a release, you know. They gave -

- Ma, but did you see her wink at me?
- Yeah, I saw her.

- But something in her eyes, you know.
- Tina!

- Oh, no, don't. Don't.
- You're so fat!

- My God, girl!
You were 120 pounds when I left.
- All right, Mama. That's enough.

You were - What happ -
How did you get so fat?

Oh, Tina, you've gotta go to one of those places
and take some of that off.

Look at your ass, Tina!
Oh, my God, Tina!

That's fantastic! That's -
Did they see -

Did you see Tina's ass?
Nick, that ass is as -

I've never seen anything so -
Oh. Tha -

Her ass is this big, Nick. And when
I went away it was - it was this big.

Did you see that ass?
Did you see it?

You can hurt Tina's feelings
by talking about her ass.

It's okay. I do have a big ass.

I wish I had some.

Well, there's nothing like 'em.
They're all beautiful. Fat or small.

- Don't worry about the asses.
- Can I have some water?

Mabel. I've got a big ass.
She has a big ass.

Mommy has a big -
We all have big asses. So what?

Did you hear that? Isn't she a bitch?

- Aunt Betty has got a small one.
- Yeah, I wish I had some ass.

I - I wish -
I wish you'd all... go home.

Oh, we came for a party.
We'd like to stay for a party.

- Nick and I want to go to bed together.
- Oh, Mabel.

- Mabel, calm down.
- Mabel, darling, the children are here.
Don't talk like that.

- Calm down, Mabel.
- Let me - Let me start over.

- Hello, Dad.
- Hi, honey.

- Hello, uh, Mama.
- That's better. That's better.

Hello, darling.
Now, take it easy, won't you?

- Hello, Tina.
- Hello.

Hello, Mama.

- Hello.
- Hi, Mabel.

- How do you do, Adolph?
- Fine. Wonderful.

- Hello, Dr. Zepp.
- Hi.

Hello, Angelo.

- Hello, bananas.
- Hi.

How am I doin'? Okay.

Listen, I really wish
that you would go home, though...

because Nick and I
do want to go to bed together.

You know, we can't talk or anything
while you're still here.

Now, watch your language.

- George, I think we should go.
- Just sit down.

I told you to sit down.
It's not the right time.

- Oh, horse manure.
- It's time to go, George.

- It is not.
- Mabel, take it easy.

Let's just - Your - It's your first day...

and you're letting yourself go,
and you know that's not good.

- Naughty Mommy.
- Fish party.

- "Fish party"?
- That's funny.

"Fish party." That's funny, Mabel.

- Naughty, naughty, naughty.
- Naughty.

- Mabel, everyone here's your friend.
- I got a joke.

- This jo - Oh, Nick, this is funny.
- Mabel, relax and calm down.

Let me tell this one.
And it's nothing bad or anything.

Um, this is a joke, uh, uh...

about a census taker who was, uh...

up in the Ozark Mountains and, uh...

he went up to this -
to this little shack, you know...

and he knocked on the door and -

In the Ozarks? In the Ozarks?

- Yeah. Like any kind of mountains.
- I know that joke.

- Kind of a hillbilly.
- We know the joke.

- We don't know it.
- Well, I know it.

- That's funny.

That's very funny.

Too - Too exciting.
Too much excitement.

Do you like it, Nick?

Uh, uh...

- It's all right.
- Then, uh...

- Hold on, Mabel.
- Come on.

he said -

Relax. Be calm.

You must pay the rent.
You must pay the rent.

- You must pay the rent today.
- Funny.

I can't pay the rent. I can't pay the rent.
I can't pay the rent today.

You must pay the rent.
You must pay the rent.

You must pay the rent today.

I can't pay the rent. I can't pay the rent.
I can't pay the rent today.

I'll pay the rent.

That's enough of that. No more.

No more jokes.
That's enough. All right. Sit down.

Sit down.
All right. That's the end of the jokes.

Sit down!
That's the end of the jokes!

Now we kill the jokes,
and we just talk!

"Hello, how are you?" Conversation.

Weather. Conversation.

Conversation.
Look what's talking about conversation.

He doesn't know how to
put two words together.

Conversation."How are you?"
It's conversation."What have you been doing?"

- "Who did you see?" It's conversation.

Yes. Oh, she likes pretty clothes.

- Normal conversation.
- What normal conversation?

- Stay out of this.
- I will not.

- Normal talk. Conversation. Weather.
- Let her tell jokes. She's good.

- "How are you?" "Where you been?" "Hello."
- Let her tell stories.

- "Too hot." "Too cold."
- Don't you understand?

I don't know how to make it. At the hospital,
they come in every morning and give you a shot.

Please, Mabel, don't talk about those things.

Then the nurse takes you
to the toilet, and they, uh -

Then you, uh, go to, uh, uh...

work therapy,
where they teach you games...

and - and how to weave things.

And, uh, they gave us shock treatments...

which are - Those are where electricity goes
through your head and is supposed to -

Be yourself.

Be yourself.

Go ahead.

Go ahead.

Simple talk.

Dad...

will you stand up for me?

Sure.

No, I don't mean that.

Sit down, Dad.

Will you please stand up for me?

Mabel, I don't, uh,
know what you want me to do.

Honey, I - I don't understand this game.

Will you just stand up for me?

Don't you hear what she's saying?

Don't you understand
what she's trying to tell us?

This is your father talking, so you obey me.

I remember before, when you were
punching me in favor of your mother.

Tell me about it.

I don't even know
how this whole thing got started.

I think I was just so tired, you know.

Do you love me?
