Who can turn the world on with her
smile?

Who can take a nothing day and suddenly
make it all seem worthwhile?

Well, it's you, girl, and you should
know it.

With each glance and every little
movement you show it, love is all alone,

need to waste it. You can never tell,
why don't you take it?

You're gonna make it after all.

You're gonna make it after all.

Now,

Ted, I don't want you to make a big deal
out of this. We're trying to do

something really tricky.

We're trying to make you look like a
working newsman.

All right.

What's going on?

Well, the station manager ordered some
new promos for the 6 o 'clock news.

Okay, Ted, okay.

All you have to do is pull a copy off
the teletype, walk over to the desk,

up the phone... and pretend somebody's
calling in a big story.

Got it?

Okay, let's shoot it. Give me that.

It makes me feel more like a man.

Ted, why don't you try typing?

Okay.

T, T, T, T.

Kurt! Hey, there's a four -arm fire
downtown.

Will you hold it down? Newsmen are
working.

Four -arm?

I just remembered I have a previous
engagement.

What engagement? And make it good.

Oh, I have to pay my last respects to my
closest friend.

One day, laughing, joking, eating, and
the next, the old happy hunting ground.

It was tragic.

But why cry over spilled milk?

and I just had to come over and tell you
about it.

You know how you said you had nothing
planned for this weekend?

Yeah. Let's go to New York.

New York? Yeah. You're kidding.

No, I'm serious. We'll take in a couple
of shows, you know, go shopping. See the

ballet. Eat some great food. Go to a
wedding.

My sister's wedding. Now, Mary, you'll
be having such a great time. Surely you

can spare an hour to come to my little
sister's wedding. Yeah, sure.

Great. Oh, but I must warn you about one
thing.

My parents will be there. Oh.

who must be exhausted.

Oh, no, not really.

Hey, Pop, could we come in, please?

She said hotel in our house. Mary, I'm
surprised at you, Mary. I'm going to go

down to the cab.

I'm going to get your bag and I'm going
to pay the cab fare. Oh, no, no. How

much would you like me to tip? Never
mind. I'll figure it out myself.

No, but I've got a room all reserved
with a view of the park.

Oh, Mary, you don't want to see what
goes on in that park.

Where's Debbie?

She's out.

But it's all right. She's engaged.

She's got till 1 .30.

Mary, you are going to have a wonderful
time. I know.

Let me take you on a little tour.

Let's see. Oh, we'll start with the
mantle.

You will never in a million years guess
who is in this photo.

Rhoda!

Yeah, right.

Oh, yeah, that's me, all right. When I
just reached the age of not dating.

Mary,

I want you to come in with me to the

guest room.

I'm imposing. I'm going to be in your
way.

Nonsense. We'll be in your way.

Mr. Morgenstern, where's my makeup case?

What makeup case? The cab driver said
this was all.

Uh -oh.

Don't worry. Don't worry.

New York cab drivers always return
everything.

Listen, I'm really sorry, but I'll tell
you what I'll do. I'll call him the

first thing in the morning.

Oh, thank you. Listen, I'm going to have
to borrow some things, though. What?

Let's see. Toothbrush, toothpaste.

Hair rollers, nightgown. Hair rollers,
nightgown. So what did you have left to

pack in here?

I got some Chinese pajamas that Martin
bought me three years ago that I've

worn. They're in there in the break
front in a gift wrap package.

Come on, let's leave the girls alone.
Yes, yes. Good night, girls.

Good night. Sleep tight and don't let
the bedbugs bite.

Good night, Bob.

That's a joke.

a Christian.

Oh, you look at this scribbling. Oh,
kid, I remember every night sitting with

this diary, writing and smoking.

Writing and smoking. Hey, I didn't know
you ever smoked. Are you kidding?

At PS 142, everybody smoked. It was
required.

That's what PS meant, people smoking.

Oh, Rhoda, and do you remember parties
on Friday night, and the boys were

afraid to ask you to dance, and so...
Girls had to dance with each other.

in those days, even the girls wouldn't
ask me to dance.

Hey,

listen. February 23rd.

Today, my mother came in my room, sat me
down, and whispered that a wonderful

thing was going to happen to me.

Once a month.

home is always a little... Well, her
younger sister getting married, that's

tough, but Martin and I are so grateful
that you're going to be here to support

Rhoda in her time of real hurt.

No, Mrs. Morgenstern, Rhoda isn't hurt.

That Debbie is getting married?

No, no, can't you see how happy she is?
Ah, she covers.

She's unhappy because she thinks that I
think that Rhoda should be getting

married. Oh, that's not true.

It is true.

I do think Rhoda should be married.

Rhoda knows me.

She knows there's a pain in my heart
this weekend because she's not getting

married. And it's hard to convince Rhoda
that the pain is not there.

Because there isn't anybody on this
block that doesn't know that that pain

there.

That's why we've decided not to talk
about the wedding or dwell on it. Debbie

won't mind. I mean, she's getting
married. She won't know what's going on.

But the point... is not to hurt Rhoda.
Martin agrees with me, don't you,

Oh, yes.

You see, what we'll do, Mary, is we'll
play down the whole thing.

See, it'll be a Sunday just like any
other Sunday, except there'll be a

ceremony we don't usually go to, and 350
people will be coming to dinner. That's

the best way to handle it. No, Mrs.

Morgenstern, listen to me, because I'm
going to tell you the truth.

Rhoda is delighted that Debbie is
getting married. She is delighted.

I mean, it never even...

to be upset because Rhoda is very happy
with her life. So, Mrs.

Morgenstern, I am telling you, as
Rhoda's best friend, who knows her

anybody else, she is thrilled that
Debbie is getting married, okay?

Mary, butt out.

Well, it's going to be a big weekend,
right, Deb? Of course it's a big

How many times has her sister come to
visit, right?

Ma, that's ridiculous. I'm talking about
the wedding.

Yeah, the wedding. Listen, today a lot
of people get married, but a lot of

people don't have a sister.

Deborah, I haven't seen your wedding
dress yet. You know that? It's white.

But listen, has anybody noticed how thin
Rhoda's getting?

Martin, what about that? That's right.
But then she was always thin to me.

Even when she was fat, she was thin.

Isn't it lovely how many topics a close
family has to talk about? Oh, yes.

Fat, thin, dresses, white.

Hey, Rhoda, we'd better be going. The
wedding rehearsal starts pretty soon.

what rehearsal? You don't have to go to
a rehearsal. Aunt Rose can stand in for

you.

I mean, that's silly. Go have fun with
your friend Mary.

I'm trying. Why don't you go shopping?
You'll take in a matinee.

Wait, folks, look. I am going to that
rehearsal, okay?

Rhoda, don't be so stubborn. Go to a
show.

Look, what do you need a rehearsal for?
You'll wing it.

Yeah, Debbie won't mind, will you, Deb?

Sure.

If you want to wing my wedding, we can
wing it.

Excuse me.

Mary?

Debbie's wedding will somehow make me
happy. Yeah, I know. She told me.

There's only one thing I can do. I gotta
leave.

Rona, you don't believe what I'm
hearing.

Mary. I mean, you dragged me here to New
York.

But, Debbie, they're making it terrible
for her.

I mean, this is the most important thing
in the kid's life, and my mother is

ignoring it.

You're sitting on my coat.

I know.

Get up.

No.

Okay, Mayor, you're right. I'm being
crazy. I mean, I'm going to...

Once you've got your mind made up, you
don't switch that easily.

All right, I give up.

Off day.

Rhoda? Yeah, kid?

Is something wrong with Mom?

Well... What do you mean?

Well, she just told me not to act too
happy at my wedding.

Hey,

Martin. Martin, take a look.

Do you ever see such a beautiful bride?

Hey, Daddy, what do you think?

Honey, you look beautiful.

But I'll show you somebody else who's
going to look beautiful.

Here you are.

What are you talking, Morgenstern?
You're gorgeous.

I'm putting on my...

Could be Debbie here that's making the
mistake, you know.

Tell me, why is Rhoda leaving?

Oh, well, Mrs.

Morgenstern, I think you're talking to
the wrong person.

Why don't you ask Rhoda? Did you ever
try and ask her anything and get a

straight answer from this?

Too late, Ma. Mary already knows about
the wonderful thing that happens once a

month.

I'm sorry.

Goodbye. Rhoda, listen, I want to talk
to you. No, Mary, stay.

Yes, stay, Mary. I want you to stay.

I want you to be the judge of this.

Now sit. Judge or sit. So sit.

Okay, why do you think I'm leaving? Ten
to one, you're wrong.

You're leaving because you're hurt that
Debbie's getting married.

Ma, listen to me, please.

I am leaving because you have the crazy
idea that if you make Debbie's wedding a

disaster, I'll be happy.

I can smell trouble a mile off. What's
going on in here?

Well, they're having a talk, and I
really think they should be left alone.

Then why are you here?

I'm the judge.

was never your favorite. Debbie was.

That's true.

But you were your father's favorite.

And then about the time you moved, well,
your father and Debbie got very close.

And so for the past five years while
you've been out in Minneapolis, although

you didn't know it, you've been my
favorite.

Except for those two weeks when your
father and I came to visit you and then

was okay because you were your father's
favorite.

Are you finished, Ma?

Yes. Okay.

You can go.

But before you leave, I want to give you
something.

Maybe after you've read this, you'll
understand your mother a little better.

To be read by my darling daughter on the
day of her wedding. This is for Debbie.

No, it's for you. I wrote it the day you
were born.

Some mothers would just have rested
after such an exhausting day.

Oh, Mary.

You read it, will you? She reads it.
She'll probably cry.

see who won't cry.

Sit.

Read.

Dear Marsha. Who's Marsha?

That's you. It's a name your father
hated.

Dear Marsha, as you are reading this
letter, I see you standing in your white

gown and veil.

Well, this certainly has been a big day.

My mother wants me to name you Rhoda,
but I told her that I refuse to let her

run my life anymore, Marsha.

Oh, gee, you're so cute.

Dark hair, dark eyes.

I know you'll be lovable because we are
a lovable family.

Do I see tears?

No. I just knew you'd be a girl.

God has been good to me.

The nurses haven't been so nice, but
God...

Getting late.

Uh -oh.

The letter.

Someone once said, a son is a son till
he has a wife, a daughter the daughter

all of her life.

I hope this is true for us because
tonight my imagination is running wild.

When you are sweet 16, I want you to
have a dancing party with an orchestra.

Do you need this?

Well, it'll be right here when you do
need it.

And when you are married, I want you to
have the most gorgeous wedding in the

whole world with even a bigger
orchestra.

I hope by then we will be able to afford
those things.

Right now, we can't even afford you.

Here I already have you married, and you
haven't even had your first meal yet.

Dear daughter, I love you very much.

And even if... And even if

I have ten more children, you will still
be my favorite because you were my

first.

Love and kisses, your mother.

Oh, Ma.

Rhoda, please, you know how I hate it
when you cry.

Will you, ma 'am? We're trying to film
here.

How's New York?

Well, I didn't really get to see too
much of New York. Hey, what are they

Didn't they get this promo on Friday?
Well, we have to do it over. That fire

went to turned out to be a false alarm.

But if we ever need film of Ted asking a
fire chief if he can ring the bell,

we've got it.

You ready, Ted?

Ready, LG.

Really good.

I don't smile at me when I say good.

Good, Ted. Good, Ted.

Ring, ring.

Ring, ring.

Oh, that's perfect, Ted.

That's wonderful.

Now just hang up the phone and go get
your trench coat.
