¶ More than the greatest love
the world ¶
Good morning, Mrs. Levin.

Good morning, Danny.
¶ Has known ¶

[ Man ]
Where have you been ?
I was getting bubble gum.

Okay, good.
Get the bag. Get the bag.

Instead of spending all
that money on space travel,
they could just end the war.

Alison, can we talk politics
after we pack the car ?
Feel like I'm gonna give birth.

Marty, could you
help your mother
with the kitchen things ?

Mom, this is a process,
a scientific process, okay ?
I'm gonna start to pack--

Ma, what is the point
of me having a plan
for the backseat--

Here you go, Daddy.
Come on.
This is serious.

I need my record player !
You can live without it
for two weeks.

It's bigger
than last year !

Stop it !
You stop it !

Okay, okay !
Knock it off !
He's pushing me !

Be good to each other.
Alison, move over.
Give your brother some room.

Why do I always
have to move ?
We're too crowded !

That's the beauty of
the whole thing, darling.

Crowded is good.
[ Danny Screams ]
Ow !

Enough already !
[ Danny Whining ]
She started it.

There's nothing to do up there.
Why do we always have to do the
same stupid thing every summer ?

Ow !
Children, please !

That's a good question.
Pearl, why do we do the same
stupid thing every summer ?

Because we do.

Can I have my sandwich now ?
Danny, one hour, eleven minutes
to the Red Apple sign.

[ Marty ]
Are you paying attention ?
That's a record, Daddy.

¶ Danny, Danny, bo-banny
Banana, fanna, fo-fanny ¶

¶ Fee, fi, fo-manny
Danny ¶

¶ Alison, Alison, bo-balison
Banana, fanna, fo-falison ¶

Sing ! Sing !
Daddy !

Sing or I'm gonna crash !
If you don't sing,
I'm gonna crash !

[ Alison ]
Keep your eyes on the road !

- That's better.
- Let's do Chuck.
- No Chuck. We don't do Chuck.

You never let me do Chuck.

When you're married,
you can do Chuck.
Right, baby ?

¶ No one else
could love you more ¶

¶ Than the greatest love
the world has known ¶

[ Danny ]
Ma ! Hippies !

¶ This is the love
that I give to you ¶

[ Grandma ]
Some feckuckteh hairdos
they have.

Ow ! Get off !

¶ More than the single words
I try to sing ¶

¶ I only live to love you ¶

¶ More each day ¶

¶ More than you'll ever know ¶

¶ My arms got to hold you so ¶

¶ My life will be
in your keeping ¶

¶ Waking, sleeping
Laughing, weeping ¶

¶ Longer than always
is a long, long ¶

¶ Long time ¶

¶ But far beyond forever ¶

[ Woman On P.A. ]
Welcome back to Dr. Fogler's,
everyone.

The Fourth of July barbecue will
be held by the lake at 6:00.

At 6:00 for
the Fourth of July barbecue.

Let's see how fast you can put
the hoop down and get the pot
inside the bungalow, ready ?

On your mark, get set, go !
Go. Go, go, go, go, go !

Daddy, tell me how fast
we got here.

Three hours and 42 minutes
with a corned beef on rye
at the Red Apple.

Two hours and 23 minutes
with salami and eggs
at the Red Apple.

Bullshit.

One hour and 57 minutes
with two hot dogs and mustard
and sauerkraut at the Red Apple.

[ Together ]
Bullshit !

Stop saying
that word, Daddy.
I'm sorry, Danny.

But Fogler is such a liar.
Come on. An hour
and 57 minutes ?

Who can do it in an hour
and 57 minutes ? Nobody.

Let's go swimming !
Let's go swimming !
Let's go swimming !

Did we forget the onions ?
Look in the A&P bag.

I am not sharing
a room with him.
You're not wearing that shirt.

What's wrong with it ?
Just change it
before you go out.

These onions are mushy.
Mother, I have
to have privacy.

Where's my wooden bowl ?
I'm not sleeping in the
same room with his guns !

Cap guns, Alison.
I think Joan Baez
will forgive you.

Enough, enough.
I'll sleep with you
in the bedroom.

Daniel, you sleep
in the kitchen.
No !

Don't give me no.
Not too much salt.

Daniel, let your sister
get changed.

Get changed. Go ahead.
Why did I even
have to come here ?

[ Woman On P.A. ] Attention,
everyone. The ice cream man
is on the premises.

The ice cream man
is on the premises.

Can I look like that
when I grow up ?

[ Laughs ]
You looked like that,
I wouldn't be your friend.

[ Both Laughing ]

Hi, sweetheart.
Oh, my goodness,
why, thank you.

[ Pearl ]
How many calories
in this again ?

You're gorgeous, too,
Pearl, but you hide
your light under a bushel.

Alison !
What ? You asked me
to change, and I changed.

- I see Alison's nipples.
- Shut up !

Just make sure
you're back in time for
the barbecue, young lady.

I don't believe in July 4th.
It's patriotic puke.

This is Daddy's last chance
to be with us. He's gonna
be working all week.

Well, it's not my fault he's
a slave to the establishment.

Could you just
for one afternoon
put aside your beliefs ?

It's easy for you to say,
'cause you don't have any !

[ Marty ]
I can't believe
we have a teenager.

We're old.
Not old. She's old.

She's almost the age I was
when I had her.

[ Sighs ]

I just don't want her
to wind up like us.

[ Sighs ]

What's wrong with us ?

Marty.

This whole decade's gone by,
and the most important decision
I make during any week...

is whether or not to go
to the A&P or Waldbaum's.

That's easy, A&P.
Their Wing Dings are fresher.

Ow.
I'm serious.

I know.
[ Sighs ]

You're lettin' her
get you crazy, Pearl.

Don't let her
get you crazy.

Yeah.

Oh.

[ Laughs ]
Yeah.

[ Woman ]
Attention, everyone.
At 2:00 in the casino,

Bernie and Shirley Pike
will be showing slides
of Reuben's bar mitzvah.

That's 2:00.
How does your week look ?

Same as always.
Anything new
happening at the shop ?

Nothing new happens
at the shop ever.

I was just asking.
[ Sighs ]

- I wish you could stay longer.
- I know, so do I.

Why won't you
talk with Sid ?
Just--

Please, don't start
with that now, okay ?

Just ask for a few days.

Neil gets a whole week
off in August.
A whole week.

Yeah, well, Neil doesn't
have a boss like Sid,

and Neil doesn't
have two kids to feed,
all right ?

[ Woman On P.A. ]
Attention, everyone.
The schedule for tomorrow:

10:00 a.m.--
You have enough cash ?

[ Woman Continues,
Indistinct ]
I'm fine.

Your mother's wooden bowl,
the scratchy blue blanket.
That's the heavy one.

We need the big thermos.
And Alison
wants her shampoo.

Bye, Neil.
[ Blows Kiss ]

See ya, sweetie.
Miss us.

Bye, Marty.
I wrote it down.

Neil, what time you got ?
7:35.

Set. Go.
Bye, Dad.

Bye, sweetie.
Give me a kiss.

Call me, okay ?
All right.

Six dot.
Come on, Pearl.
You remember what it was like.

It was never like that.
What ? You
weren't a teenager ?

For about two weeks.
[ Laughs ]
East.

It's the marijuana
you have to watch out for.

Sooner or later,
they all smoke marijuana.

You get ants in your pants.
You wanna screw
everything in sight.

[ All Laughing ]

Oh, that's beautiful.
Green.

Is that supposed to comfort me ?
[ Woman On P.A. ] The Blouse
Man is on the premises.

- Here we go.
- The Blouse Man
is on the premises.

This make me look too busty ?
There's no such thing
as too busty.

Give me a bigger size.
[ Laughs ]

Here's your bigger size.
[ Laughing ]

Very funny.
Oh !

[ Women Laughing ]
[ Pearl ]
I'm sorry.

It's just blouses.
Don't worry about it.

Let me help.
I got it.
Can I help you find something ?

No, thanks.
[ Woman ] Wait, Lillian.
That's the one I wanted.

Excuse me.
You got another one of these ?

No, ladies.
I'm sorry. I don't.

You gonna hold on to this
the rest of the afternoon ?

Ma'am, what's your name ?

Selma.

- You want my
honest opinion, Selma ?
- Yeah.

With those sea-green eyes,
I think you're better off
with a lighter color anyway.

Excuse me.
Check this out.

See this ?

Look. Look at that.

With that shade of green,
you're practically sparklin'.

All right ?

Oh, yeah.
They sparkle, Selma.

Since you ladies have been
such good sports about this,
consider these blouses a gift.

Thank you.
You're a very nice young man.

You're welcome.

Thank you, but I don't need
a gift. However, this blouse
is not worth more than $5.

That's cool.

- You want the hanger ?
- Do you need it ?

No. You take it.

I hope you like the blouse.

That's a strange way
of doing business.

A little promotion.
It'll even out in the end.

Excuse me, mister.
You got this in red ?

Only in a 16.
Yellow looks
pretty good to me.

I'm not really
a yellow kind of a girl.
No ?

What kind of girl are ya ?
How about that yellow ?

[ Chuckles ]

What happened
to the old Blouse Man ?

Oh, he retired.

I bought his bus
and his route.

He had more variety.

Did he ?
Carried a little
something extra each time.

Jewelry or sunglasses.

Think so, huh ?

Well, all right.
Thanks for the tip.

Tadpoles !

Tadpoles over here right now.
Salamanders, stop the noise.

Hurry up.
Go right over here.

Tadpoles, you're behaving
very, very well.

Danny !
Put away the guns !

Jeffrey, would you
take his guns away ?

Danny, you're not supposed
to bring guns to camp.

It'll just be
another minute, okay ?

Do orthodox girls
have to wear wigs ?
It looks like a wig.

Hey.
[ Boy ]
What's up, Myra ?

This is my friend Carl.
How ya doin' ?

You a counselor
over here ?
Yeah, as always.

I gotta go.
Nice meetin' ya.
Nice meeting you.

I gotta go too.
I'll see you later.
All right. I'll see ya.

Butterflies.
Okay, butterflies,
time to go.

Does anybody know who that
little girl is over there ?
[ Girl Crying ]

Is there anybody's
mother around ?

What group do you have ?
I have the chipmunks.

What's the
lifeguard's name ?

Ow !
Sorry. Just checking
to see if it's a wig.

We didn't mean
anything by it.

You shouldn't make fun
of other people.
I'm sorry.

[ Man ]
Over here.
Right over here.

Okay.

It's Ross Epstein.
Skunks.

All right, skunks.
Come on. Let's go.
It's us.

Come on. Come on.

[ Man Speaks
In Foreign Language ]

It's not
a good morning, Colonel.
There's a radio hidden.

A radio is against the orders
of the Imperial Nipponese Army.

[ Man Speaks
In Foreign Language ]

[ Projector Whirring ]
¶¶ [ Dramatic ]

There is a radio in this hut.

[ Whispers ]
What ?

[ Whispers ]
This is so boring.

I order those responsible
to hand it over immediately.

Asking you just once more,
where is it hidden ?

Where is what hidden, sir ?
I know nothing
about a wireless.

Then, by God, you should !
I'll have you court-martialed,
and it'll show on your record.

Ralph, what do you know
about this ?
Nothing.

I just feel like we're
always doing the same thing,

and all the girls are doing
something different now.

So, I just think
maybe I should frost it.

You ever feel trapped
by your life, Rhoda ?

Oh, sure.
I mean, I'm stuck with it.

You know, I wonder how
I would look as a redhead.

Why are you
stuck with it ?

What-- What
should I do, Pearl ?
Become an astronaut ?

You don't have kids,
and you still got
a lot of freedom.

Yeah, I'm free to sit around
and watch everybody else
with their kids.

You know, I swear, every
single time I go to Poppy's,

and I have a pickle while
I'm waiting for my ice cream,
Neil asks me if I'm pregnant.

I say to him,
"When are you gonna get it
through your thick skull ?

I love pickles.
You put a free bowl in
front of me, I eat them."

You gonna try again ?
I don't know.

Then Neil and I wouldn't be
able to take our annual trips
to the Riviera.

[ Laughing ]

[ Rustling ]
[ Sighs ]

Sometimes I try
to picture my life...

if I hadn't had
Alison so young.

Maybe my life wouldn't be
that different. I don't know.

Sometimes I just wish
I was a whole other person.

Yuck.

[ Woman On P.A. ]
Attention, campers.

Please report to the casino
for a meeting with Dr. Fogler
after lunch.

All campers are to report
directly to the casino
after lunch.

[ Pearl ]
You ready for lunch, cowboy ?
Yep.

Where'd you get that ?
What ?

That licorice.
The Blouse Man.

Honey, what'd I tell you
about taking candy
from strangers ?

He's not a stranger.
He's the Blouse Man.

- Is he a friend of the family ?
- You should have
been more specific.

Don't be fresh.
Is he a friend
of the family now ?

Go to your room.
This is my room.

I asked you to watch out
for your brother, and you
just let anyone give him candy ?

It wasn't anyone.
It was the Blouse Man.

All right, both of you,
just eat your lunch.

[ Door Creaks, Slams ]

You shouldn't be giving
candy to children.

Oh, hey.
Which ones are yours ?

Just keep your
licorice sticks to yourself.

No, I'll try to be
more conscientious.

I didn't mean any harm.
I just, uh--

I quit cigarettes, you know,
so I need something to help me
with the craving.

Oh.

I took your advice.
The, uh, shades.

Jewelry, all this stuff,
goin' like hotcakes.

I made a killin' today.
You're a smart lady.

Oh, well, I just figured,
you know, women
would buy them, and--

They did.
They did. Good.

Hey, thanks. You know, I got
the perfect blouse for you.
Wait till you see this.

No, no, I'm not here
to buy a blouse.

No, no, no, check this out.
A friend of mine makes them
up in Kingston.

It's a new line I'm carrying.

Yeah, it's-- it's a tie-dye.
It's not bad.

No one will buy these.
They will if they
see you in one.

Want to try it on ?
What do you think ?
Maybe the purple one.

Which one ?
That one.

This one ?
Yeah. It's not bad either.
It's pretty good.

You want to try it ?
What have you got to lose ?

All right.

[ Stairs Thud ]
Jesus Christ. Here.

Thank you.
[ Clears Throat ]

Hey, what's your name ?
Pearl.

Want a beer
or somethin' ?
A beer ? No-- No.

How's that fit ?

My husband's gonna hate it.

Are you kiddin' me ?
He's gonna love you in it.

Look how sexy you look.

Check it out.
Back up a little.

See ? I mean,
it fits really well.

Keep it a couple of days,
you know ? You don't like it,
you give it back.

If you do, pay me later.

Or don't.
I mean, you're doing me
a favor just wearing it.

All right.

Wait a second.
Come here.

You don't want to go
around with that thing.

Okay ?
Yep.
There you go.

Really looks good.
I'm not kidding.
Thank you.

When do you come
back here anyway ?

I mean, what's your schedule,
if I wanted to return it ?

My schedule ?
I don't have a--
I don't have a schedule.

But, uh, I'll tell you what.

I'll give you my number.

I live right in town.

And, uh, call me
anytime you want.

Okay.

[ Door Opening ]
Pinkies.

It's tie-dyed.

[ Door Closes ]
[ Whispers ]
Stop it.

[ Crowd Laughing,
Applause ]

How can you not love it here ?
Look at this. An army barracks
with lawn furniture.

This is unbelievable.

I was over at Grossingers,
as I was in the lobby there.
That's where I'm staying.

In the lobby at Grossingers.

They gave me a room.
I walked in. There was
no ceiling on the room.

I called down to the clerk.
I said, "There's no ceiling
on my room."

He said, "Don't worry.
The fellow upstairs
don't walk around much."

¶¶ [ Rim Shot ]

[ Comedian, Indistinct ]

And now I want to invite you all
up here on the floor to dance,

because it's my turn to laugh.

¶ For your love ¶

¶ I would do anything ¶

¶ I would do anything ¶

¶ For your love ¶

¶ For your kiss ¶

Do you think
you could stop looking
at her for a minute ?

I don't know.
Ahh.

That's my girl.
¶ I would go ¶

¶ Anywhere ¶

¶ For your kiss ¶¶

That's it. Get a little cozy,
a little sexy here.

[ Comedian ]
Come on, everybody.

I was thinking,

maybe we could do
Chuck a different way.

What do you mean ?
I don't know.

I thought maybe
we could, um, experiment.

[ Laughing ]
Okay.

[ Laughs ]
We don't have to.
No, no, it's okay.

No, it's all right.
We were doing Chuck
pretty good the old way.

We are. We do.
Yeah ?

I just thought
it might be fun.

What did you have in mind ?

I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.

I'm sorry. I just--
No. No, no.

That's all right.

Marty.
[ Sighs ]

[ Clattering ]
[ As John Wayne ]
Okay, pretty lady.

There's a posse on my tail,
so I ain't got much time.

[ Laughs ]

Reach for the sky.
Shh. Come here.
You're gonna hurt yourself.

I know. They're loaded.
I'll put them down.

Is that different enough ?

[ Moans ]

Drive safe.
I will.

I'll see ya.
Hold this for me.
Oh.

See ya, cowboy.
Bye, Daddy.

Good-bye.
Here, darling.
Take your jacket.

Thank you.
Drive safe.
Don't speed.

[ Dog Barking ]

Thanks.

[ Thunder Rumbling ]

Sh-- Oh !

[ Thunderclap ]

[ Sighs ]

Hey, hop in.
I'll give you a ride.
What ?

Get in, and
I'll give you a ride.

No, thank you.
I'm fine.
[ Thunder Rumbles ]

I'm going your way.
Come on !

Well, if you're sure
it's no trouble.

It's no trouble.
Get out of the rain,
for Christ sake. Come on.

Here. Here's a towel.
Thank you.

All right ?
Yeah.

Oh.
Here we go.

¶¶ [ Man Singing On Radio,
Indistinct ]
Here's another towel.

Looks like that's
all she wrote.

Those things
look kind of painful.

Bet it looks good curly.

¶ That's the way
she feels about you ¶

¶ That's the way she

Attention, the knish man
is on the premises.

The knish man
is on the premises.

So ?

No.
No ?

That's what
I pay you for, "no" ?
The cards don't lie.

Maybe they're subject
to interpretation.

Selma, does this look like
a vacation card ?

You wanna go to Miami ?
Go to Miami, but--

Bubbie ?
Just a minute, sweetheart.
I'm finishing up a reading.

Could you come now ?
All right.

Come back tomorrow.
We'll ask the tea leaves.
Don't touch that.

Coming, love.

What is it ?

What is it, my shainehkuh, huh ?
What is it, darling ?

Oh, my God.

Mazel tov.

[ Gasps ]
Why'd you hit me ?

It's a tradition.

My mother, your
great-grandmother, Sonia--
may she rest in peace--

She did the
same thing to me.
It's a stupid tradition.

It's the stupidest
goddamn tradition.

It's true.
You know what I did ?
I slapped her right back.

Ow ! Bandeet !

What's going on in here ?
Pearl.

What ?
I got news.

Today Alison
became a woman.

Oh. Oh.

[ Laughs ]
How do you feel ?

[ Alison ]
What kind should I get ?

Well, you know,
these are pretty good.
What about tampons ?

You've already had
a big enough shock.
Just get these--

Hey, girls.
Hi.

[ Laughs ]
Hi.

What ? What was that ?
[ Both ]
Nothing.

[ Laughs ]

[ Giggles ]
How are you ?

[ Woman ]
Attention, everyone.

Will the person who took
Eleanor Gelfand's thongs, please
return them to the main house ?

She's been hiding away
for an hour.

She didn't even
eat any supper.

I bet she has cramps.
Poor thing.

Whoa.

I have... my first date.

What ?

Ross is taking me to Fun Fair,
the go-carts.

Go-carts ?

Mother, this is the most
exciting night of my life.
You're not gonna ruin it for me.

No ! Of course not.
I was just worried. Maybe
you weren't feeling up to it.

I'm fine.

You look so... womanly.

You see, my shainehkuh.
You become a woman,
the world looks brighter.

Don't tell Daddy
I got my period.

[ Woman On P.A. ]
Long-distance telephone call
for Alison Kantrowitz.

It's your father !
You're a woman now, Alison.

Mazel tov, darling.

And may you be blessed
with a happy marriage and
many, many beautiful children.

Sometime today.
How long are
we gonna wait here ?

I'll be right
with you, Bill.

Oh, Marty.
The whole weekend's shot.

Everybody and their brother
wants their TV to be working so
they can watch the moon landing.

Sid, I am depending on you.
I have to see the man
on the moon.

Sid's even gonna keep
the shop open on Sunday.

There's shmuts
all over the wire !

Honey, we were counting on you.

I know, sweetie.
I'm so sorry. I really am.
It's Sanka.

I forgot I put it
on top of the set.

I'll be thinking of you
while I'm watching.
I'll be thinking of you too.

- I wanna talk to him.
- You explain this to Danny.

Okay. Hey, cowboy.
Daddy.

Why can't you come ?

Danny, I gotta work, okay ?
I'm sorry. You watch
your mom for me ?

I wanted you to come.

Hello ?

Hello. Can I talk with
the man who sells the blouses ?

Who's this ?
Pearl.

Hey ! How ya doin',
Pearl ?

I wasn't sure if you'd
remember who-- who I was.

I remember who you are.
Hey, that tie-dye
work out all right ?

Oh, um--
He liked it, didn't he ?

Yeah.

What's up ?
I-- I was wondering--

I wondered if you had
plans for watching
the, um, the moon walk.

Fogler, you outdid
yourself. Terrific.
It's a masterpiece.

Hi, hon.

Can I go to a concert ?

Which ones look
better with this ?

- The black ones.
- Yeah ?

It's near White Lake.
All the counselors
are getting tickets.

- Is it cool out ?
- Medium.

Here.

It was supposed to be in
Woodstock, and they changed it,

and now it's so close by.

Nobody ever liked this dress.

So can I ?
When is it again ?

August 15 through 17.
People are gonna camp out.

What ?

Everyone's gonna be there.
Alison.

You're 14 years old.
You're not camping out.

Why are you getting all dressed
up to watch some stupid guys
walk on the moon ?

It's not stupid.
It's important.

Please, Mom.
I mean, I have to go !

Honey, I'm sorry.
You're not old enough.

First, everyone tells me
I'm a woman now.

Then I'm not old enough ?

I hate you !

Are they walking
on the moon yet ?

Not yet, sweetheart.
Shh.
Sweetheart.

Lillian, I've got
such a headache.

I need to get some air,
or maybe I should lie down.

You're gonna
miss the best part.

[ Ross ]
I knew this one guy who
worked in Moishe's Butcher Shop.

He cut the tip of
his finger off on purpose.
[ Groans ]

I thought I'd get myself
into a car accident.

Just burn your draft card.

And go to jail ?

Joan Baez's husband
didn't cut off his fingertip.

Oh !

It's a French kiss.
You have to open your mouth.

¶ One of these mornings ¶

¶ You're gonna rise ¶

¶ Rise up singin' ¶

¶ You're gonna ¶

¶ Spread your wings
Child you take ¶

¶ Take to the sky ¶

Where are we ?

¶ Lord, the sky ¶

Come on in back.
I wanna show you something.

¶ Nothin's goin'
to harm you now ¶

¶ Na, na-na, na, na-na, na ¶¶

[ Beeping On TV ]

I never saw one so small.

It's cool, isn't it ?

My kid brother
picked it up over in Asia.

What was he
doing over there ?

Killin' people.
Oh.

Is he still over there ?

I don't know.

Maybe.

[ Clicking ]

He's been missing
for four years.

[ Beeping ]
[ Sighs ]

Oh, I'm sorry. I--

I should tell my husband
about these. He fixes TVs.

Usually he's here
on the weekends,

but he had to fix
a lot of sets.

No one wanted
to miss the, um--

the, uh--

moon landing.

I wish they'd step
outside already.

¶ Today ¶

Want me to stop, Pearl ?

¶ I know what I wanna do ¶

¶ But I don't know what for ¶

¶ To be living for you ¶

¶ Is all I ¶

¶ Want to do ¶

[ Zipper Unzipping ]
¶ To be loving you ¶

Oh, God.
¶ It'll all be there ¶

¶ When my dreams come true ¶

What is your name ?
Walker.

¶ Today, you'll
make me say that I ¶

¶ Somehow will change ¶
Is that your last name ?

My last name is Jerome.

[ Gasps ]
¶ Today ¶

You're backwards.
¶ You look into my eyes ¶

It seems to me I'm
exactly where I should be.

¶ To be any more ¶
I have to sit down.

¶ Than all I am
would be a lie ¶

¶ I'm so full of love ¶

¶ I could burst apart
and start to cry ¶

[ Object Clatters On Floor ]

¶ Today ¶

¶ Everything you want
I swear ¶

¶ It all will come true ¶

¶ Today ¶
[ Zipper Unzips ]

¶ I realized how much
I'm in love with you ¶

¶ With you standing here ¶

¶ I can tell the world
what it means to love ¶

¶ To go on from here ¶

¶ I can't use words ¶

¶ They don't say enough ¶

[ Chattering On TV ]

¶ Please, please ¶

¶ Listen to me ¶

¶ It's taken so long
to come true ¶

¶ It's all for you ¶¶
[ Pearl Gasping ]

[ Armstrong ]
That's one small step
for man,

one giant leap
for mankind.

[ Chattering ]

What are you doing ?

Are you sure you want--

[ Chattering On TV ]
[ Both Sighing ]

¶ I touch your lips and all
at once the sparks go flying ¶
[ Lillian ] One, two.

¶ Those are the lips that know
so well the art of lying ¶
Three.

¶ And though I see the danger
still the flame grows higher ¶
Concentrate.

¶ I know I must surrender
to your kiss of fire ¶

¶ Just like a torch you set
the soul within me burning ¶

What happened
to Pearl last night ?
She had a headache.

You got a chair
right next to the house.

What chair ?
What house ?

¶¶ [ Continues, Faint ]

[ Sizzling ]
Are you allowed
to kiss guys ?

Guys I can kiss.
Bacon is a different story.

Did you ever tongue kiss ?

That's disgusting.

It wasn't.

You and Ross ?

Did you do anything else ?

Not yet.

[ Laughing ]

[ Whispers ]
Pearl ?

Pearl. Get up.

We're goin'
blueberry pickin'.

Come.

Pearl ?

You believe in fate ?

I'm not sure
what that means.

It means that there are certain
things that no matter what you
do that they're meant to happen.

They're in the stars.

They're bashert, destined.

But even if
they're in the stars,

a person, a grown-up
responsible person,
a mensch,

can make a different choice.

They can make
the right choice.

You're shtupping someone.

What ?

The Blouse Man.

I am not.

You're shtupping
the goddamn Blouse Man, Pearl.
How could you do such a thing ?

Are you gonna tell Marty ?

So it's true.

I'm right.
I'm always right.

It's-- It's a curse.

Why, Pearly ?

Have you forgotten
who you married ?

When your husband was 12 years
old, you know what he dreamed
of being ? A scientist.

So he entered
the school science fair...

in the hopes of
winning a microscope.

Such a doorbell he made,
I don't even want to
tell you about it.

It not only rang, it lit up.

It chopped liver.
It made matzo balls.

First prize.

He was so proud, Pearl.

And when that son-of-a-bitch
husband of mine ran out on us,

you know what my boy did ?

Came to me with $10.

And he says to me, "Mama,
you don't ever have to worry.

I will take care of you."

Sold the microscope.

I never heard that story.

Something else
you didn't know.

The summer that you two met,
summer he was waiting
on tables at Kramer's.

Kramer knew that Marty and I
didn't have two nickels
to rub together,

so he offered to pay for
Marty to go to college.

But when he got
a girl pregnant--

no less a guest
at the hotel--

good-for-nothing Kramer
slammed the door in our face.

He-- He turned his back
on my boy.

What ?

You think you're
the only one with dreams
that didn't come true ?

[ Woman ]
What time are we
playing tomorrow ?

[ Chattering ]

I wondered where you were.

I can't do this.

I'm married.

I have children.

¶ Across the morning sky ¶

¶ All the birds are ¶
I understand.

¶ Leaving ¶

¶ Ah, how can they know ¶

¶ It's time for them ¶

¶ To go ¶¶

Hey, Marty.
How ya doin' ?
Hey, Joe !

Daddy !
Hey, cowboy !

¶ We'll still be dreaming ¶

- How long did it
take you this time ?
- Two hours and 41 minutes,

not including the six minutes
it took me to put my shorts on.

Neil said it took him
two, 20.

What'd I tell you
about Neil ?
He's a stinkin' liar.

That's right.

Yuck !

[ Woman ]
You guys, don't use up
all the hot water !

Eighteen days in quarantine.

What ?
The astronauts. God,
I hope they like each other.

Here you go.

Mmm !

Ooh. That's strong, Marty.

Mm-hmm.

I have waited all week
for this moment.

[ Door Closes ]
Hey, hey, hey.
Where you goin' ?

Out !

- Where's my kiss ?
- I have a date, Daddy.

A date ?

Ross is taking me to the Pines.
There's a rock band there.

- Ro-- Who's Ross ?
- I'm late !

Who's Ross ?
I miss one week
and already there's a Ross ?

He's a nice boy.

How old is he ?
Sixteen, I think.

Pearl, oh, God, Pearl !

There is no such thing
as a nice 16-year-old boy.

[ Laughs ]
You can't keep her locked in
the bungalow all summer long.

No, I can't.
That's your job, darling.
Oh.

Besides, it's the principle
of the thing.

I mean, if we can't go out
on dates, she shouldn't
be able to either.

So take me
on a date, Marty.

So who's at the Brickman ?
Hmm, Sandy Solo.

Shirley Bassey is
playing at the Concord.

Honey, now see, this is
something I would climb
a fence to go see.

Shh.
What ?

Listen.

What do you hear ?
[ Whispers ]
Nothing.

[ Whispers ]
Exactly.

No kids. No Bubbie.

Mmm. Just you
and me, Pearl.

Ain't it great ?

[ Moans ]
[ Moans ]

Ow. Oh, shit. Ow.
What ?

My leg. I gotta--
I'll get it, honey.

Don't-- Yeah.
I'm okay. I'm okay.

[ Horn Honks ]
I think I'm getting
too old for this. Ooh !

At least it went down.
Come here.

You all right ?
I'm good. I'm good.

[ Both Moaning ]

Aah.
All right. It's
the steering wheel.

You wanna get
in the back ?
Yeah.

[ Sighing ]

You okay ?

[ Whispers ]
No.

You wanna go home ?

No.

Do you want me
to do a John Wayne ?

Maybe.

All right.
We'll miss you, sonny.

Okay. Bye, sweetheart.
Drive safe.

I will. Tell Neil 7:28.

Bye-bye, love !

- Hello.
- We were in Swan Lake
and you said to me--

Hello, Ma,
how are you ?
You said to me, "Ma,

- me and Arnie and Stewie,
we're going swimming."
- Ma, is everything all right ?

Suddenly--
You saw Stewie drowning,

so you told us
not to go swimming
under any circumstances.

Right.
Did you listen ?
No.

- And what happened ?
- Stewie was swimming
underwater...

and he hit his head
on a rock but I saved him.

And why did you save him ?
Because I was
extra careful.

- And why were
you extra careful ?
- Because of your vision.

And why is your
cousin Stewie
alive today ?

Because I saved him.
No !

Because of your vision.

Correct.

All right, Ma,
who's going to drown ?

- You are.
- [ Laughs ]

I promise I won't
go swimming, okay ?

Get your tuchis up here,
Marty. I don't care what
you got to do.

What's goin' on, Ma ?

How did you get up here ?

Uh, 13 hours and 26 minutes.

That was

What the hell
is going on, Pearl ?

I went to Woodstock.

You went to Woodstock ?
[ Sighs ]

Um--

Was it groovy ?

Was it far-out ?
Out-of-sight ?

Yeah.

[ Sighs ]

Tell me something, Pearl.

Are you screwing someone ?

We'll talk about this
when you're not upset.

I'm not that upset yet.
If you tell me you're screwing
someone, then I'll be upset.

So... are you ?

Yes.

Who is he ?

You don't know him.

What's his name ?

Walker.

What's his first name ?
That is his first name.

What's his last name ?

Jerome.

Walker Jerome.
That's his name ?

Does he realize
it's backwards ?

- Where'd you meet him ?
- He's a salesman.

So is he
a traveling salesman ?

Sort of.
What's he sell ?

Blouses.

Blouses.

He's the Blouse Man.
You're screwing the Blouse Man.

[ Scoffs ]
Jesus, Pearl, why didn't
you screw the Dress Man ?

At least that way
you get a whole outfit,
you know ?

What the fuck were
you thinking, huh ?

What are
you doing, Pearl ?

Did you think about this
for even a-- a second ?

Did it ever occur to you
what this might do to us ?

What-- What this might
do to Danny ? What it
might do to Alison ?

I want to know what
you think about that.
Did it cross your fuckin' mind ?

Tell me. I want to know if
you fuckin' thought about it !

Tell me, Pearl, I want
to know. I want to know
if you thought about it.

Tell me.

I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.

You're sorry ?

- You're sorry.
- Yeah.

What am I supposed
to say to you, Pearl ?

Am I supposed
to say I forgive you ?
Is that what you want ?

Tell me. I wanna say
what you want me
to say right here.

'Cause right now I don't
know what the fuck I'm doin'.

I don't know what to--

What are your plans ?

It means I don't know.

- You don't know ?

Okay. Okay.

I love you, darling.

I didn't mean to worry you.

I wasn't worried. Bubbie let me

Yeah ?

I want Cocoa Puffs
for dinner. Mmm.

How come no one's

Because I didn't tell

Please, son !

Marty, please, let him go.
Don't do this.

Don't do it !
Get in the car.
Stop it !

You're coming too.
No, no--
Let go of me !

- Wanna be free, Pearl ?
- Let her go !

- Wanna be free ? Okay.
- No. No.
- Don't do this, Marty.

No kids, no husband,
no family. You're free.
Go ! Be free ! Alison.

- Come back here !
- No !

[ Daniel Wailing ]
Alison ! Alison !

- Marty, stop it !
- Hold on to me. Hold on.

[ Wailing Continues ]
Okay. All right !

It's okay, Pearl.
You stay--
You stay and be a whore.

I'll go.
You're not going anywhere.
Give me those keys !

Give me those keys, sonny.
You're not going anywhere--

Mom, get off the car !
Stay out of it !
It's too dangerous.

[ Sobbing ]
Goddamn it, son.
Goddamn it.

Ross ? Ross.

I hate Daddy.
Shh, shh, shh.

He's just upset, honey.
He's mad at Mommy.

He wanted you with him
because he loves you so much.

Why is he
mad at you ?
Oh--

Sometimes grown-ups have
fights just the way kids do.

And sometimes
they have to...

think things over
before they can make up.

Do you understand, huh ?

Good.

What's a "whore" ?

Everything is fucked up.

I hate it here.
I hate it.

[ Sobbing ]
I hate them so much.
It's okay.

I just want to be
away from them.
It's okay.

Make them go away.

I want
to do it.
What ?

Let's go
all the way.
Alison.

Don't you want to ?
[ Sniffles ]
I don't know.

Y-You don't want me.
No-- No,
that's not it.

Alison, I mean
it would be great but--

Alison, please.
Please.
[ Sobbing ]

Forget it.
Alison,
I didn't say that.

Just-- Just forget
the whole thing !
Alison. Alison !

Fuck.

[ Door Opens ]

[ Door Closes ]

[ Sighs ]
I'm sorry about
what happened with Daddy.

Forget it.

Where were you ?

It's none
of your business.

- Alison.
- You don't always
tell us where you are.

I'm a grown-up.

Are you ?

What's that
supposed to mean ?

I went all the way
with Ross.

You are to be
in this bungalow
by 9:00 p.m.,

every night between
now and Labor Day.

- You hear me ?
- Fuck you.

What ?
Fuck you.

[ Groans ]

I never have to listen
to you ever again.

I saw you.

I was there.
You should have
seen yourself !

You looked disgusting !

I'm the teenager, not you !
You had your chance.

- No. I didn't.
- Well, then why do
the rest of us...

have to suffer just because
you fucked up your life ?

I did not fuck up
my life, Alison !

Things happen.
Things happen that
you don't plan for.

Do you know
how old I was when I got
pregnant with you, huh ?

I was 17,
just three years older
than you are right now, honey.

Do you know
how many boyfriends I had
before I met your father ?

None.

Do you know how many times
I slept with your father
before I got pregnant with you ?

Once. That's
all it takes, Alison.

[ Weeping ]

- I was an accident.
- Oh. Honey.

Don't think that.

Listen to me.
That doesn't mean
we don't love you.

We love you so much.
We loved you from
the moment we saw you.

Are you and Daddy
going to get a divorce ?

I don't know.

You love the Blouse Man
more than all of us ?
No !

Sometimes
it's easier...

to be different
with a different person.

Can't you just try
and be different but still
stay with us ? [ Sniffles ]

Oh, baby.

Daddy's just
a big square,
you know that.

But, I mean, he's Daddy.
How could you leave him ?

I thought you hated us.

I do. But that
doesn't mean anything.

Alison--
[ Sighs ]

When you went
all the way with Ross,

did you use
any protection ?

We didn't--
[ Gasps ]

We didn't go
all the way.

[ Gasps ]
We've only gone
to first base.

Ohh.

Save the home run
for somebody
really special, okay ?

What's going
to happen ?

I don't know.
I don't know.

Pearl, it's Daniel.
He's been stung by wasps.

What ? What ?
He's in the kitchen. Go !

What happened

[ Danny Screaming ]
No ! These hurt !

Tateleh, Grandma has

There's Mama.
There's your mama.

Mommy !
Mommy's here, honey.
You're going to be all right.

Wait, ma'am, don't do that.
You don't want
to break off the stingers.

[ Walker ]
I need some,
uh, kind of card.

You got some playing cards ?
Get that and I need, uh,
Yeah.

meat tenderizer.
Well, what is he,
a pot roast ?

You're going to be
all right, honey.
Alison-- Help him. Help him !

Take.
[ Danny Crying ]

Give me some warm water.
Put it in a bowl.
Mommy's here.

And mix that stuff in there.
Let's see. Got of lot of them.

Mommy, it hurts !
I know.
You're going to be fine.

Here.
Thank you.

[ Danny Whimpers ]
I hate wasps !
I know, honey.

Look how much
they like you, huh ?

- They covered you with kisses.
- Take a deep breath.

Take a deep breath.
All right. Let it out.

[ Exhales Deeply ]
He's doing okay.

Gave you so many kisses.
You're Daniel, right ?

[ Giggling ]
Beep, beep, beep, beep.

Here, katzi.
[ Footsteps Approaching ]

Daddy !

Hey, cowboy !

How's my big boy, huh ?
Got stung by wasps !

I know,
your Bubbie
called me.

She told me
she couldn't
find your mommy.

Look, I brought
you calamine lotion.

The Blouse Man fixed
me up with Adolf's.

Adolf's, huh ?

You put
meat tenderizer on him ?

It's the--
There's a protein
compound in it, uh...

neutralizes the venom.

- You tweeze out the stingers ?
- The Blouse Man said
that would make it worse.

He scraped the stingers out
with Bubbie's cards.

Oh, yeah ?
Is that what he said ?

Well, I guess that's
how it is then, huh ?

How long did it
take you to get here ?
[ Marty Chuckles ]

You're not going
to believe this, Danny.

One hour
and 38 minutes.

Wow ! That's
the fastest ever !

You know, my cowboy
was in trouble, so--

Thank you.

Are you still
mad at me, Daddy ?

[ Choking Back Tears ]

I'm not mad at you, Danny.
I could never be mad at you.

He's asleep.

[ Sighs ]

It wasn't you, Marty.

It was me.

There were things
I wanted to do
with my life.

I don't even remember
what some of them were.

Somewhere
along the line,

I disappeared.

I stopped being the person
you fell in love with.

And I wanted--

I wanted to be that
way again with you.

But I couldn't.

I wanted things too, Pearl.

Think I like fixin' TVs ?

Think I said, "Gee, that's what
I want to be when I grow up" ?

I mean, who knows what
I could've been if I had
a chance to go to college.

But I didn't.

And you know what ?

I was okay.

Because I figured no matter
what I screwed up in my life,

no matted what
I felt gypped out of,

I had the most
important thing right.

I had you.

Now, I don't.

But I still have
one question, Pearl.

Who stopped you ?

Who stopped you
from doing these things ?

Did I stop you ?
I mean, did-did--

Did you ever once come to me
and say, "Marty, I want
to make a change in my life" ?

And did I say,
"No, Pearl, you can't" ?

Marty, it's
not that simple.

I tried. I couldn't
always find the right words,
you know, but I--

Y-You--
You didn't hear me.

You make jokes.

It's true.
I'm a bad listener.

Not such
a good talker, either.

And I make jokes.

But who stopped
you, Pearl ?

[ Door Closes ]

Hey.

Mommy told me
I was an accident.

She told you that ?
She didn't mean to.

It just
kind of happened.

Huh.

[ Laughs ]
Man. Well--

That's what I told your Bubbie
when your mommy got pregnant.

Alison.

When I met
your mother at the Kramer,

she was the most gorgeous
thing I'd ever seen.

I couldn't believe
she liked me.

She laughed at my jokes.
She laughed
in the dining room...

at what a lousy waiter I was,
and I was a lousy waiter.

Anyway, we, uh--

We decided to take a drive.

It was a gorgeous,
clear August night.

Pearl wanted to go
see this meteor shower.

Alison, it was incredible.

It was like fireworks
but no noise.

That was
the night we made you.

Maybe it was
an accident.
I don't know.

But, to me,
it was and still is...

the most important
moment in my life.

Okay ?

Okay ?

How could you
just break up then ?

If it was
so important to you,

doesn't that make you
want to stay with her ?

Yeah.

You know what ?
You know, sweetie ?

Sometimes things
happen between people...

that make it impossible
for them to stay together.

I'm sorry, baby.
I'm so sorry about this.

It'll be a base hit...

Are you

Were we going steady ?

- Why are you mad at me ?
- I just feel stupid.

The other night
and Woodstock.

I feel like you saw me
dancing without a shirt.

That wouldn't
be so bad, would it ?

Look, I'm not going
to tell anyone anything.

I know you want me to be
a pacifist, but I told Fogler...

if he blabbed
his big metal mouth
I'd beat the shit out of him.

Okay ?

Yeah.
