There's more to life than what you're lit.

So take a chance and face the wind.

Open road and a road that's hidden. Brand new life around the bend.

There were times I lost a dream or two.

Found a trail that the end was you.

There's a path we're taking and a path not taking. The choice is up to you, my

friend. The nights are long, but you might awake to a brand new life, a brand

new life, a brand new life around the bend.

Win. Win.

Not Meg. Not Meg.

Oh, Angela, I know you weren't exactly raised on a farm, but there's something

you should know about eggs.

They break. Oh, Tony, I'm so sorry. I guess I just got carried away. I was

having so much fun cooking. I've never made a Thanksgiving dinner before.

No.

Well, I did it.

I finally discovered what those parking lot signs mean by severe tire damage.

How could you back your car up over those spikes?

Angela, I didn't back my car up over those spikes. I backed your car up over

those spikes.

Mother! Hey, Mona.

It's a good thing you have those ribs to drive home on.

Oh, look.

I got it.

Bauer residence.

Hey, Mrs. Rossini, how are you?

Mother.

You know how I hate confrontations, but I'm not completely convinced that I

should pay for new tires.

I think you should.

Okay.

Hey, Mrs. Rosini, it sounds fine with me, but look, look, I'm going to have to

check. But it sounds great. Okay, bye -bye.

Hey, great news.

Mrs. Rosini just invited us all to an old -fashioned Thanksgiving dinner in

Brooklyn. Oh, well, Tony, we're having Thanksgiving here.

Anyway, that's your neighborhood, not mine. I won't really know anybody there.

Oh, come on.

Angela, that's what Thanksgiving is all about. I mean, do you think the pilgrims

really knew the Indians?

What you do, you see, is you invite strangers into the bosom of your family,

that's the spirit of Thanksgiving.

Unfortunately, I've made other plans.

What other plans?

I am going to be in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. What? Hey, all

Mona. Well, Mother, that means we're not going to see you on Thanksgiving.

Of course you will. The cameraman's a friend of mine. He's promised me a lot

close -ups.

Well, Mona, we'll be rooting for you from the Rossini's. No, Tony, I don't

I don't think I'm going to remember anybody's name.

I just don't think I'd be comfortable there.

Everybody will be so Mediterranean.

Angela, you'll be fine. And besides, I gotta go. Mrs. Rosini's got some big

surprise cooked up for me. Oh, what kind of surprise?

Angela, if he knew that, it wouldn't be a surprise.

Come on, Angela.

Cut loose.

Oh.

Well, I guess I could go to Brooklyn and get down.

Don't hurt yourself, Panty.

Listen, Angela, it'll be great. Come on, I'll tell you what we'll do. We'll take

the moose and we'll even say you made it. Eh? I did make it. Well, hey, wait a

minute. You didn't finish it. It still needs an egg. Well, I can do that.

Well, just don't do it like last time. Bring it over here nice and easy. Okay.

Nice and easy.

Get up straight.

Papa, straighten your top.

Papa.

Papa.

Tony. Mrs. Lucina. Tony.

Hey, here they are.

Hey, the place looks great. What did you do, get new furniture?

Nah, just took the plastic off.

Here's my buddy.

Oh, that jab of yours is getting faster. Yeah, I've been playing a lot of

tennis.

Good to see you, buddy. Hey, Angela, this is Joey, Joe, and Joseph.

It's nice to meet you, Joe.

I'm Joey.

Oh, yes, of course you are.

Yeah, this is Joey. This is Mrs. Rossini's son.

I taught him everything he knows.

Not everything.

Oh,

Teresa.

Oh, you look beautiful.

Oh, how lovely. I see you're with child.

Good eyes, Angela. Good eyes.

Hey, Tony, who is this, your new girlfriend?

Papa, this isn't a girl.

It's his boss.

This is Angela. She's my boss.

She's my friend.

She's my friendly boss.

Hey, but she brought a moose.

Can I go show Jonathan your pigeons up on the roof?

Sure. Just don't let them fall off. Okay. But, Joey, can't they fly?

Not the pigeons. You, Goomba.

Come on, Goomba. I'll let you feed them. What do they eat?

Little boy's fingers.

Oh,

he's such a nice boy.

Oh, thank you. Actually, he's more grown up than a little boy. Thank you. That's

very sweet.

Hey, Angela, isn't this great? And I want you to know something. You're

in real good. Am I? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're one of a kind. Oh, good. Tony,

ready for your surprise? It's in the kitchen.

It's probably her stuffed artichokes. I love those things. They're great.

And now, all the way from Jersey City, Gina Bonafetti.

That's some stuffed artichoke.

Hi, Tony.

Hi, hi.

No hugs for an old friend?

Oh, sure.

Hi. Oh, Gina, Gina.

Oh, did you grow up holding a leg?

I mean, what happened to that skinny little kid with the pink tails and the

scraped up knees?

Ah, see? They healed.

You healed good.

Perhaps you'd like to see her appendix scar.

Don't reach, Joey.

All right. Dear,

dear, is everything all right?

Delicious.

Tony, Tony, you're not finished yet, are you?

No. Maybe a little bit more... Ravioli.

Maybe I'll have another sip of... Wine?

Maybe I'll have one more. Stuffed orange.

This is great.

Hey, Armella. What am I, an orphan over here?

I could do with a little more potatoes. An orphan.

He's turning into an orphan.

I don't know where he puts it.

I do, Ma. Look at that. La panza. La panza.

Show some respect. We got company.

How come everyone's always hitting me?

Hey, here's another shot.

Hey, you didn't have a load of stuffing, huh? Hey, come on, turkey. Get going.

Boy, I like the way this place works.

Hey, Sam, give me some more turkey.

I'll tell you something. Hazel's the president of Wallace and McQuaid.

Oh, that must be so hard.

I'll bet you tied really fast.

Well,

actually, my job is more managerial. It's kind of telling people what to do.

I could never boss a man around. Are you kidding me? Hazel's great at it.

Thank you, Tony.

Hey, I wouldn't say unless I meant it.

Wonderful dinner.

Don't you forget it, huh?

Hey, we're missing the pre. What do you say we look at the tube, huh? Oh, yeah.

Okay. Go get the salad, huh? Okay.

Hey,

Tony, where are you going?

I'm going to go help in the kitchen. In the kitchen?

What a kidder.

I don't know what got into me.

Oh,

Tony, why don't I take it?

When in Rome.

If I can boss men around, I can take a plate into the kitchen.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

We can replace it when we go back to Sicily. Good.

You're a guest.

You just sit with the men and relax.

Please.

Angela, isn't this great?

No, it's not great. And I'm not going to talk to you until you butt in your

pants.

What's the matter with you? What's the matter? Are you mad they won't let you

work inside a kitchenette? No, I just feel very uncomfortable.

Well, that's why you got on... Get your hands off me!

Tony,

I have never seen anything like this in my life before.

Those women worked like dogs to prepare a feast for you.

They did everything but practically... chew your food and you men sat there and

you stuffed your faces and you didn't lift one finger to help.

Well, Angel, take it easy. That's the way it happens to be here. Mommy!

Gina's bringing out the dessert in a minute.

Well, you know, Angela, now that I think about it, maybe you're right. I'm gonna

go help Gina in the kitchen.

Oh, look!

Dad's grandma!

Turn the sound off, Johnny. Oh, it's my mother. Here it is, folks. The moment

you've all been waiting for. The Santa Claus float.

be fatter yet, but here's one of his elves.

That's a mighty cute elf. But where's the big guy himself?

Oh, here's another elf.

No, that's the same elf.

Tony should see this. Excuse me.

Fine. Did you happen, perchance, to catch a glimpse of

me in the parade?

Catch a glimpse of you?

Mother, thanks to you, thousands of little children all across America now

that Santa is a redhead with cleavage.

My, my, my, aren't we grumpy today.

Is something wrong?

Nothing at all.

Are you sure?

Mother, there is nothing wrong.

Okay, fine.

Then I'm off to the day after Thanksgiving Day sale. All right, I'll

Mother, we have misjudged Tony.

Yesterday, I saw a side of him that I have never seen before.

Oh, what side was that, dear?

The Neanderthal side.

Those women wait on those men hand and foot. They wipe their chins.

I would love to have seen you waiting on Tony.

I didn't have to.

They had someone for that.

Mother, I didn't think that there were women who still acted like that. And

Tony could be so taken by it. So unenlightened.

I mean, he liked it.

So what you are saying to me...

Is that men like to be pampered?

What a discovery.

Angela, does Cosmo know about this?

Mother, if you're going to joke about something that is this serious, let's

forget it. Okay, fine.

Never mind, Angela. I'll talk to Tony.

Where is our little caveman this morning?

I don't know.

You mean he hasn't come home yet?

Mother, I don't pry.

All I know is that it's nine o 'clock and Tony Maselli is supposed to be at

work.

Morning. Morning. Coffee?

Tea? Juice?

Angela, I really appreciate you taking the kids home last night. I had such a

great time with the gang in Brooklyn.

Well, what about the gang in Connecticut?

There could have been a fire here. I would have had to carry two children out

a burning house all by myself.

You're right, you're right. Next time I stay out all night, I'll make them sleep

in the yard.

I got it, I got it. On the job, on the job.

Power residents?

Oh, hi, Gina.

Yeah, me too.

Excuse me.

I bet she called to tell him she knit him a sweater last night.

Angela, don't be preposterous. No one can knit a sweater overnight.

Can you believe this girl?

While I was out with the guys last night, she knitted me a pair of socks.

Hey,

Angela, can I have a few hours off this weekend?

Well, how many?

Forty -eight.

Tony, I don't know.

Oh, Angela, come on. It's Thanksgiving. All your other employees got a four -day

weekend. Okay.

Well, okay.

Oh, let's hear it for the great emancipator.

Gina,

it's all set. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, me too.

Yeah, listen.

Ciao, bellissima.

Oh, boy. Angela, you're terrific. You're the best boss.

Well. Who am I to stand between a man and his bellissima?

What's with her?

I don't know.

Maybe her Thanksgiving dinner didn't agree with her. Are you kidding me,

It was great. The whole day was great. It was so warm. The family and the

friends and the food. Oh, and Gina, she made the best raviolis, just like my

wife used to make.

And she knits, too?

She sounds like quite a woman. Yeah, she really is.

She's the sweetest girl in the world, Mo.

Hey, you know, I may be way off on this, but Angela didn't seem to warm up to

Gina.

Well, don't worry about it, Tony.

After all, I mean, it's your affair.

Oh, hey, Mona.

Oh, what are you saying?

Are you kidding me? Gina's not the kind of girl you fool around with.

Jean is the kind of girl you marry.

That was good.

The food wasn't bad either.

Oh, I hope so. Do you want a little more?

Maybe we should save some for the Rossini's.

They went to Atlantic City for the weekend.

Oh, yeah?

Maybe somebody will get lucky.

Maybe so.

You stay in here and relax. I'll start dessert.

Wait a moment. Wait a moment. Hi.

What are you doing in here?

Thought I'd come in and help you out.

Just leave it. I'll clean up.

All right, you clean up.

Let me make the dessert. What do we have?

Zabione, but I'll do it. No, come on. We'll do it together. It'll be fun. I'll

get the eggs.

Gina, catch.

Be careful.

Don't break it. Now, please, just give me that. Here, watch this one.

Oh, that was close.

Dig? Yeah, yeah, fair enough.

What you did?

Oh, come on, Gina.

I was just kidding around a little bit.

Not my kitchen. Out.

Boy, you strict.

Hey, look, I was just trying to have a little fun, you know?

We'll have fun later.

Oh, Angela, this is the good part.

Wake up, you missed it.

Sorry, I must have dozed off.

That's okay, that's okay. I can play it again.

Oh, I could watch this all night.

And you have, Mother.

Oh, you're no fun. I'm going up to my own apartment and watch this on the big

screen. Come on, Grover.

Grover, come on.

All right, we'll watch the part with Snoopy, too.

Come on.

Hey, Angela.

Tony, hi.

I didn't think I was going to see you tonight.

Well, I thought I'd better get home in case there was a fire.

There was.

I didn't know lamb chops were so flammable.

You burned a dinner?

Yeah. That's great.

What's great about that?

Well, I mean, it's just like you, you know.

You try, you fail, I make the save.

How was your dinner?

Oh, it was great.

Perfect. Candlelight, the wine.

But then I just couldn't.

Well, um, Tony, lots of men have this problem.

Not now and then.

Not with me.

But, uh, I've read articles. Now, maybe you were too tired,

or maybe you had too much to drink, or perhaps she reminded you of a distant

aunt.

Angela, it's not that I couldn't. It's that I couldn't. You know, I wouldn't. I

didn't. And the problem was up here.

That's what the articles say.

Angela, would you forget the articles? You're missing the point here.

I mean, Gina's terrific.

I mean, she's warm. She's beautiful.

She's crazy about me. She's... Hey!

She could cook. Well,

she sounds like everything you've always wanted in a woman.

Everything I thought I wanted.

Uh, what do you mean, Tony?

I don't know.

Maybe I want more.

Maybe I want less.

You think I'm flipping out?

No,

but I think maybe you're changing.

Hey, I still like girls.

I don't either, Tony.

What do you think?

I don't know.

I want somebody I could talk to.

You know, somebody I could kid around with.

Somebody that's got more in their life than just taking care of me.

Somebody like... Meryl Streep?

Yeah, somebody just like her.

Knit one, curl two. I got it.

What do you make it, ladies?

Leg warmers for giraffes?

I followed the pattern, it just didn't say when to stop.

Hey, Mona, it's for you.

Who is it?

I don't know, but this guy looks awful familiar to me.

Come in here, sir.

Are you Mona Robinson?

Yes, I am, but I don't believe we've met before.

Does this ring a bell?

You know how long I've waited for that shot. The Macy's Parade on network TV.

And what happened to my coverage?

They gave it to you.

at the ho ho ho.
