Here, come over here.

[ Laughs ]

I wanna-- I wanna form a ring of love around the baby, okay?

Okay, Joe? Here--

Here, you-you put your left hand on Renata. That's right. Here we go.

Peter, take your dad's hand.

And Jan-- That's it. Oh!Oh, God.

That's all right. That's okay. Jan, take Peter's hand.

Marilyn, you can take Tony's hand. That's it. That's it.

Gail, take-- There you go. That's it, honey.

Thank you very much. And now Marilyn.

I know. I feel the same way. No, no, no--[ Babies Crying ]

With the one child we only have one option. You have several options.

Marilyn-- Marilyn, shut up those babies, all right?

[ Tony, Sam Chattering ]Listen. Listen. All we have to get--

Excuse me. All we have to get--

All we have to get is a baptism date.

Now, we should be capable of doing that.

[ Renata ] Okay, okay, okay, okay.

I want Jan to be godmother,

and I would think it would be an honor--

I mean, I want Tony to be godfather.

And I'd like to add that Sam here is being pretty terrific.

Hell, he has friends of his own. Okay.

So he's quite happy that Tony be godfather.

Why do you have to have the baptism...

on the first day that we are going away...

- on our very first vacation in 12 years? - Because--

My parents are really not going to understand...

how their granddaughter is born...

and is not baptized on a preordained date--

[ Tony ] Sam--that has been followed...

- in Lithuanian tradition for all of their lives. - Sam.

They're really not going to understand why--Excuse me.

Sam-- Sam, what, uh--

[ Stammers ] I don't want to be rude, but your parents are dead.

Exactly. That's exactly the point.The bottom line is,

Tony will not give up shit to be there.

The bottom line is,

is that you would rather follow some absolutely bullshit tradition...

rather than think about my happiness, Gail's or Mikey's.

Okay, fuck you, Tony.That's the bottom line.

Don't you ever say that to me again.

Joe, do something.

[ Renata ] There's a baptism and there's a date.

You are the godmother and you are the godfather.

I hope you can fucking attend.

Jan, you don't suddenly have to leave town, do you?

You are such a selfish bitch.

I can't believe what a selfish-- Oh, God, I--

- Hey-- - That's it! That's it!

Now the end. Done.

It's finished.

I want everyone out. Everyone.

You okay?Yeah, I'm fine.

Now Tony... and Gail,

just go to your car and go home.

You did nothing wrong.

And, Jan, Peter,

go to your room, please.

[ Mouths Word ]

Joe, maybe this isn't the best time--Marilyn, please.

Don't you start. I know what I'm doing.

Joe, uh-- [ Clears Throat ]

If it's a question of financial loss,

I'd be happy to make up anything Tony feels--

Sam, I don't want to discuss it further.

Renata, I want you to ask Sam, because he's your husband--

Ask him to wait in the car for you.

Why are you acting like this, Daddy?

Renata, please.

Okay, Sam, will you please go wait in the car for me?

What is this, Ma?

Renata,

I'm gonna say something for the first time in my life without consulting your mother,

but I think she's gonna very much agree with me.

Renata, Sam's a wonderful man.

He's a generous and kind man.

But he's killing us.

[ Voice Breaking ] He's killing us.

[ Sighs ]Is it true, Marilyn?

He means so well.

Marilyn, is it true?

[ Marilyn Whispering ] Yeah.

How can--

How can you say that about Sam?

He has done nothing but great, great things--[ Joe ] Renata--

for this family.

Now, look, I hate to say this,

but I'm more afraid of what will happen if I don't.

Now, you and the baby,

you're always forever welcome here,

but I don't want Sam in this house again.

At least, you know, not until we all get control of ourselves.

See, I simply don't know what else to do.

I'm sorry.

Well, why don't you just get a gun and blow my head off?

'Cause if Sam's not welcome here, I'm not welcome here.

[ Softly ] My baby.

In fact,

why don't you just douse the place in kerosene and blow it up?

Oh. And do me a favor.

Do not come to the baptism.

You're not welcome.

[ Door Opens ]

- Renata, wait. - No! You wait!

That man-- I know he's different.

I love that he's different.

I love that he flatters me and he flatters Mom and Gail and Tony and Jan and you.

Hell, Peter copies him.

You're impressed by him.

So what, he gives gifts? Big deal he's arrogant.

Why shouldn't he be? He's remarkable!

This is my adventure, Dad, my goddamn adventure.

If you don't get it, well, I'm sorry.

I take it back. I'm not sorry.

No way!

Okay, Sam.

[ Jan ] So, Mom, butter's got 35 milligrams of cholesterol.

[ Marilyn ] What's that, per ounce?

No, that's one tablespoon.

So with cholesterol deposits in the arteries, definitely no butter for Sam.

Yeah, but turkey is great, isn't it?

Yeah, but dark meat is saturated with double fat proteins.

Okay, we'll give Sam all the white meat.Right.

You know, maybe we shouldn't even serve wine.

I'm shocked by every person in this house.

Mom? Mom, I know it'd be better to clear a path to the back.

It'd be longer that way,

and those extreme swings in temperature--

that can cause a real shock the circulatory system of a heart patient, so--

Well, it's safer to stay with the front then, I think.Yeah, I think so.

Christ! You've all gone nuts.

Sam comes up the front walk,

and if he wants to go out and make a fucking snowman, he'll do it.

If he wants to smoke a pack of cigarettes,

he'll smoke a pack of cigarettes.
