- HI.
- OH, HI. - HEY, MA.
SO WHERE WERE YOU ALL WEEKEND?
- WELL, YOU REMEMBER OUR DEAR OLD FRIENDS
THE SANTORELLIS?
SHE WORE ALL THAT MAKEUP AND HE HAD THAT BAD TOUPEE?
- YES, YOUR DEAR FRIENDS.
- THEY BOUGHT A CONDOMINIUM IN NEW JERSEY--
THE GARDEN STATE VILLAS,
AND CLAUDIA INVITED US DOWN.
- OH, YEAH, THAT'S NICE, MA.
YOU CAN RAYMOND ALL ABOUT IT. BYE, GUYS.
- NO, NO, NO, NO. COME ON.
I WANT YOU TO SIT DOWN.
WE WANT TO HAVE A TALK WITH ALL OF YOU.
- THE LAST TIME WE HAD A SIT-DOWN TALK,
YOU TOLD US YOU WERE GIVING OUR DOG AWAY.
- [mock crying]
"YOU GAVE MY DOGGIE AWAY!"
- ROBERT, NOW STOP IT THIS INSTANT.
OKAY, SO WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME.
- NO DOGS THERE.
- FRANK!
AND THE CONDO WAS JUST BEAUTIFUL.
AND THE FOOD WAS ESPECIALLY GOOD.
- YEAH, I HAD A STEAK SO BIG I ALMOST COULDN'T FINISH IT.
AND THEN I DID.
- GREAT, SEE, THAT'S WHY YOU GUYS
SHOULD HAVE A VIDEO CAMERA.
- HEY!
YOUR MOTHER'S TALKING.
NO TV NOW.
- SO ON THE DRIVE HOME, WE STARTED TALKING,
AND, WELL, WE...
- WHAT IS IT, MARIE?
- WE WANT TO MOVE THERE.
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN
MOVE THERE?
- WE'RE JUST THINKING ABOUT IT.
- I WANT TO LIVE THERE.
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN...
LIVE THERE?
- MARIE, THIS PLACE IS SO GREAT,
YOU'D REALLY CONSIDER MOVING ALL THE WAY TO NEW JERSEY?
- WE'RE JUST THINKING ABOUT IT.
BUT I HAVE TO SAY THAT EVERYONE THERE
SEEMED SO ACTIVE.
'CAUSE USUALLY WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT A RETIREMENT COMMUNITY,
IT'S DEPRESSING.
- YES, I GENERALLY DON'T CARE FOR THE ELDERLY.
- BUT THEIR DAYS ARE SO FULL.
THEY'VE GOT GOLF AND A HEALTH SPA
AND THEME NIGHTS.
MEANWHILE, FRANK AND I, WE HAD A GOOD TIME.
I HAVEN'T HAD THAT MUCH FUN WITH YOUR FATHER IN A LONG TIME.
[chuckles]
WE LAUGHED,
AND WE TOOK WALKS,
AND WE HELD HANDS.
- DAD?
- THEY GOT CHEAP BOOZE THERE.
- NO, WHAT THIS WEEKEND MADE ME REALIZE
IS THAT ALLY IS OLD ENOUGH TO BABY-SIT.
AND, ROBERT, I FINALLY GOT YOU MARRIED OFF.
AND, DEBRA, I'VE TAUGHT YOU ALL I CAN.
BUT AT THE COMMUNITY-- THAT'S WHAT THEY CALL IT--
THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER WOMEN THERE JUST LIKE ME.
- I KNOW THAT SOUNDS CHILLING, BUT IT WASN'T SO BAD.
- AND CLAUDIA TOOK US TO THE REHEARSAL SPACE
FOR THE DRAMA CLUB,
AND, OH, SHE STARTED TO GO ON AND ON
ABOUT WHAT A LOVELY SINGING VOICE I HAD
IN CHURCH CHOIR.
IT WAS EMBARRASSING.
AND THEN SHE SAID
THAT SHE THOUGHT I WOULD BE PERFECT,
PERFECT TO PLAY THE LEAD IN THE FALL PRODUCTION
OF "THE UNSINKABLE MOLLY BROWN"!
- MIGHT HAVE TO CHANGE THE TITLE.
- SO YOU WANT TO MOVE AWAY?
BUT WOULDN'T YOU MISS...
RAYMOND?
- OH, I'M NOT SAYING THIS WOULD BE EASY.
BUT EVERYONE THERE TOLD US
THAT THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR CHILDREN
AND THEIR GRANDCHILDREN HAS NEVER BEEN BETTER.
- I CAN'T BREATHE.
- NOTHING IS SET, HONEY.
THAT'S WHY WE WANTED TO TALK IT OVER.
AND IT WOULDN'T BE LIKE WE WOULDN'T SEE YOU.
WE'RE ONLY 85 MINUTES AWAY.
- SPEAKING OF THAT, I HAVEN'T EATEN FOR 85 MINUTES.
- I'LL GET YOU SOMETHING, FRANK.
- WAIT. I'LL HELP YOU.
- WOW.
- YEAH.
WOW.
- WOWEE! - WOWEE!
85 MINUTES! 85 MINUTES!
- I KNOW. I KNOW. 85 MINUTES!
IT'S MY NEW FAVORITE NUMBER.
- NO, WAIT, IT COULD EVEN BE MORE IF YOU COUNT TRAFFIC.
- TRAFFIC!
WE HAVE NEVER HAD TRAFFIC BETWEEN US.
TRAFFIC!
- ALTHOUGH-- ALTHOUGH IT WOULD BE WEIRD.
I MEAN, THEY'VE ALWAYS BEEN RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET.
I CAN'T IMAGINE THEM NOT BEING THERE.
ACTUALLY I CAN. - ME TOO!
- WAIT A MINUTE.
YOU'RE ACTUALLY THINKING ABOUT GIVING UP A HOUSE
THAT YOU'VE LIVED IN FOR ALMOST 50 YEARS?
YOU'RE SURE YOU DON'T WANT TO TRY TO JUST, YOU KNOW,
FINISH THINGS UP HERE?
- ACTUALLY, WE--WE DISCUSSED WHAT TO DO WITH THE HOUSE TOO,
DIDN'T WE, FRANK?
- YEP.
- IF WE DO MOVE, ROBERT,
WE WANT YOU AND AMY TO TAKE THE HOUSE.
- WHAT?
- HEY, TAKE IT EASY.
WE WOULDN'T JUST GIVE IT AWAY.
WE'D SELL IT TO YOU.
- WE'D SELL IT FOR THE PRICE THAT WE PAID:
$26,000.
- THAT IS AN AMAZING OFFER.
- YES, IT--IT SURE IS.
BUT AS MUCH AS I LOVE THAT HOUSE,
YOU KNOW, I WOULDN'T WANT IT IF IT MEANS YOU GUYS LEAVING.
- HE'S RIGHT. I WOULDN'T WANT IT THAT WAY.
- YOU KNOW WHAT?
I THINK I NEED A DRINK OR SOMETHING.
EXCUSE ME.
- GET ME SOMETHING TOO.
AND WHERE'S MY SNACK?
- WE'RE COMFORTING EACH OTHER.
IT'S OKAY.
- THIS IS SOMETHING, HUH?
- YEAH, SOMETHING.
- SOMETHING.
- IT'S UNBELIEVABLE!
THIS IS AMAZING!
- TAKE IT EASY. THEY'RE RIGHT IN THERE.
- I'M A LITTLE EXCITED. I'M A LITTLE EXCITED.
I'M JUST A LITTLE EXCITED.
- WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT. - SHHH.
WAIT TILL YOU HEAR THE BEST PART.
- WE GET THE HOUSE.
- WHAT? - OUR OWN HOUSE!
- YOU GET THE HOUSE?
- WE GET THE HOUSE. $26,000.
- WH-WHY DO YOU GET THAT?
- WHAT DO YOU CARE, RAY? - $26,000!
- 85 MINUTES. - YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT!
[cheering]
- THE KIDS SEEM PRETTY SHAKEN UP.
- YEAH.
- I FEEL BAD.
- HOW ARE WE GONNA BREAK IT TO THEM
THAT WE ALREADY SIGNED THE LEASE?
- I DON'T WANT IT TO FEEL LIKE WE'RE RUNNING OUT ON THEM.
I MEAN, THEY SHOULD TELL US TO GO.
IT SHOULD COME FROM THEM.
- HOW ARE YOU GONNA GET THEM TO DO THAT?
- WELL, JUST LET ME DO THE TALKING.
- THAT SHOULD MAKE THEM WANT US TO GO.
- [chuckles]
OH, YOU.
IT'S EXCITING, ISN'T IT, CHI-CHI?
- [giggles]
[all sigh]
- IT'S--IT'S NOT EASY TO THINK ABOUT.
- YOU GOT THAT RIGHT, YEAH.
- IT IS A PAINFUL TIME.
- WE REALLY ENJOYED THIS WEEKEND,
MORE THAN WE HAVE IN A LONG TIME.
MAYBE IT'S NOT THE RIGHT TIME TO MAKE SUCH A BIG CHANGE.
- YOU KNOW, MOM...
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG
WITH YOU DOING SOMETHING FOR YOURSELF ONCE IN A WHILE.
- YES, YOU ARE ALWAYS THINKING OF EVERYONE ELSE.
- YOU GIVE, GIVE, AND THEN YOU GIVE SOME MORE.
- YES, AND YOU TOO, FRANK.
- IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT OTHERS.
- SO WHAT DO YOU THINK, MARIE?
- [sighs]
OKAY, LET'S DO IT.
[restrained squeals] GREAT!
- HOW GREAT IS IT
THAT MY PARENTS ARE MOVING INTO A FURNISHED PLACE?
- YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE IS GREAT?
A YARD SALE.
- HEY.
- WOW, LOOK, HONEY, OUR NEIGHBORS HAVE STOPPED BY.
- HOWDY, NEIGHBOR.
[laughs]
- WOW, LOOK AT THIS PLACE.
- YEAH. - [exhales]
- YOU OKAY?
- YEAH, I GUESS IT'S--IT'S--
THIS IS ALL JUST HITTING ME.
IT'S REALLY HAPPENING, HUH?
- OH, YEAH! NO KIDDING IT'S HAPPENING.
I GOT SOME PARTY HATS AND NOISEMAKERS.
HUH, SEE THAT?
GOT THE CHAMPAGNE IN THE FRIDGE.
BUH, BUH, BUH--MY CHAIR!
- OH!
- WHAT'S WITH YOU?
- I JUST HAVEN'T BEEN OVER HERE SINCE THEY PACKED.
WEIRD, ISN'T IT?
- YEAH.
CLOSING DAY AT THE MENTAL INSTITUTION.
- YEP, FINAL CLEARANCE. ALL CRAZIES MUST GO.
[laughing]
- COME ON, COME ON. - WHAT?
- I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S JUST THAT NOW THAT IT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING,
I FEEL...
- LIKE RUINING EVERYTHING?
- SAD.
I-I'M GONNA MISS THEM.
THEY'RE MY FAMILY.
- OH, WELL, OF COURSE. WE ALL FEEL THAT.
- YEAH, SURE.
- NO, OF COURSE. THEY'RE LIKE FAMILY, YEAH.
- YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I'VE SPENT MORE TIME WITH THEM
THAN ANYONE OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS.
I MEAN, 'CAUSE RAY, YOU GO TO WORK EVERY DAY,
AND YOU GUYS SEE THEM, WHAT, A COUPLE TIMES A WEEK.
I'VE BEEN WITH THEM EVERY DAY-- MORNING, NOON, AND NIGHT.
- THAT'S WHY YOU SHOULD BE
DANCING AROUND NAKED IN A FOUNTAIN.
- [sighs]
I KNOW, I KNOW.
IT'S JUST--
IT'S JUST ALL HAPPENING SO QUICK, YOU KNOW?
IT'S LIKE, "BOOM, SEE YA, BYE."
OH, GOSH.
I DON'T KNOW.
I'M ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THE WORST IN MARIE, AND...
I JUST SHOULDN'T.
- OH!
AH, WAIT, WAIT.
DEB...
IS THIS YOUR...
YOU KNOW, LADIES TIME?
- NO, RAY, THAT'S NOT IT.
- ALL RIGHT. OKAY.
I'M SORRY.
BUT IT'S COMING SOON, RIGHT?
- NO, RAY. - OKAY, SORRY, SORRY.
[whispers] LADIES TIME.
- NO, DEB, I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
- NO, YOU DON'T.
IT'S ONE THING TO BE SAD, OKAY?
I'M ALL FOR SAD...
AFTER THEY'RE GONE
AND AFTER THE PARTY, ALL RIGHT?
I'M SORRY, DEBRA,
BUT MY MOM IS IN A VERY EMOTIONAL STATE RIGHT NOW,
AND YOUR SUDDEN INSANITY JUST MIGHT MAKE HER STAY.
ALL RIGHT, I BOUGHT THIS HOUSE FAIR AND SQUARE.
$26,000 FOR A HOUSE!
- I'M JUST HAVING FEELINGS.
- WELL, WE ALL HAVE THOSE,
BUT THERE'S A TIME TO EXPRESS THEM
AND A TIME TO JUST KEEP THAT CRAP INSIDE.
- GOOD FOR YOU.
GOOD FOR YOU. YES.
- LOOK, IT'S JUST, I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT MARIE AND I
WOULD ONE DAY LEARN TO, YOU KNOW, GET ALONG.
I CANNOT JUST LET HER LEAVE AND SAY NOTHING.
- GET HER.
- STAY WHERE YOU ARE.
- GET OUT OF MY WAY, ROBERT.
- ALL RIGHT.
- WELL, I GUESS THAT'S EVERYTHING.
- MARIE, I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING.
- GOOD-BYE, WE LOVE YOU.
I GUESS IT'S TIME TO GO.
- YEAH, YEAH, IS IT 4:00 ALREADY?
REMEMBER THE TRAFFIC, DAD, HUH?
- HOLY CRAP, MARIE. LET'S HIT IT.
- MARIE, I HAVE SOME UNRESOLVED FEELINGS.
- OW!
- OKAY.
I KNOW I SHOULD HAVE SAID THIS YEARS AGO, BUT...
WE KIND OF--
NO, WE HAVE BUTTED HEADS A LOT OVER THE YEARS, AND...
WE'VE SAID SOME UNFORTUNATE THINGS
TO EACH OTHER AND ABOUT EACH OTHER,
AND I GUESS WE'VE JUST DECIDED THAT THAT'S HOW IT IS.
BUT I KNOW THAT YOU AND I ARE NOT OKAY
WITH THE WAY THINGS ARE BETWEEN US.
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU WERE MOVING,
I WAS HAPPY BECAUSE IT MEANT
I WOULDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH ALL THE FIGHTING
AND THE TENSION.
BUT I DON'T LIKE FEELING THAT WAY.
I FEEL LIKE WE'RE JUST GIVING UP,
AND I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT.
I DON'T.
I...
I THINK THAT THERE COULD BE SO MUCH MORE FOR US.
AND I'M SORRY THAT WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN THERE YET,
BUT I THINK THAT WE CAN.
- OH, DEBRA.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR PROBLEM IS?
YOU'RE ALWAYS SO DRAMATIC.
I'M FINE WITH THE WAY WE ARE.
- HAVE A GREAT TRIP.
- OH, THANK YOU, DEAR.
- TICK-TOCK, MARIE.
- OH, MARIE, I'LL MISS YOU.
- OH, AND I'LL MISS YOU TOO.
OH, ROBBIE.
ROBBIE.
OH, YOU'RE SUCH A GOOD BOY.
I KNOW THE HOUSE WILL BE IN FINE HANDS
WITH YOU TWO LIVING IN IT.
- THANKS, MA.
AND I JUST WANT TO SAY--
- RAYMOND!
[sobbing]
- IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY.
- YEAH, MARIE, LET'S GET TO THE RETIREMENT VILLAGE
WHILE WE'RE STILL YOUNG.
- ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
GOOD-BYE.
I'LL MISS YOU ALL.
AND THERE'S SOME NICE FRUIT IN THE REFRIGERATOR.
WE ALWAYS HAVE TOO MUCH FRUIT IN THIS HOUSE.
WE'LL CALL YOU WHEN WE GET THERE.
- WAIT, WAIT.
UH...
WELL, WE SHOULD THROW YOU LIKE A...
A GOING-AWAY PARTY, YOU KNOW?
HERE, SEE?
IT'S LIKE A PARTY.
- HEY, YOU'RE COMING OUT NEXT WEEKEND.
- RAY'S RIGHT.
WOULDN'T IT BE NICE TO MARK THE OCCASION?
- YEAH, DAD, DON'T YOU WANT TO SAY A REAL GOOD-BYE?
- AW, COME ON, WE'RE NOT GOING TO THE CEMETERY.
JUST JERSEY.
- WHAT IS IT, FRANK?
- NOTHING.
I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF I SHOULD PEE FIRST.
AW, WHAT THE HELL? I'LL MAKE IT INTERESTING.
- OKAY, WELL...
YOU WANT TO SIT DOWN?
