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

Take a chance and face the wind.

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

There were times I lost a dream or two.

Found a trail.

At the end was you.

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

friend. The night's long, but you might await a brand new life, a brand new

life, a brand new life around the bend.

Hey, uh, there.

Hey, Grandma.

owe me exactly one million dollars.

Would you settle for a triple scoop of chocolate chocolate chip ice cream?

No, I'll take the cash.

What exactly did you say to the man when he cut you off?

Oh, that was a tie for have a nice day.

Hi, darling.

Hi, Mom.

June again.

Mom, I need a good tattoo.

Those kids say, hi, Mom, what'd you bring me?

This kid of yours has just fleeced me out of $2 million.

It's like babysitting for Nick the Greek.

Are there any calls for me? Yes.

Jim Peterson from the office called at 4 to say he'd be at 5 -5 -5, 4 -5 -4 -5,

until 5.

Then he called at 5 to say he'd be at 5 -5 -5, 6 -7 -8 -9, until 6.

Then he called at 6 to say he's home.

You have the number.

What a memory.

Give me some skin.

Don't leave me hanging.

That was great.

Did you do your homework?

Oh, I forgot.

Oh, and Tony, a guy called you about Nick Milano.

Grandpa? Yeah, they said his parole hearing's been changed.

What's parole?

It's when you get out of jail.

But you must have heard wrong, because my grandpa's in Florida.

Yeah, there's no parole from Florida.

Honey, are you sure that wasn't for me? The man must have said payroll.

Payroll, payroll, right? Payroll. Okay, then if Lionel's payroll hearing has

moved from the courthouse to the jail.

Thanks, pal.

Dad. Yeah.

Jonathan, why don't we go upstairs? I'll help you with your homework.

Okay.

in jail?

Yeah, he is, honey.

You said he was in Florida.

Well, I guess I should have said penitentiary instead of Pensacola.

My grandfather's in prison?

Yeah, right here in Connecticut, nearby.

I can't believe you lied to me.

Sweetheart, I was just trying to protect you. Dad, I do not need to be

protected. I'm 13 years old.

Yeah, but wait, you were only 12 when he got sent up.

Nice try.

Hon, look.

I know I should have leveled with you. I'm sorry. But, hey, he's your

grandfather. I never want to see his face again.

Oh, come on.

to go home today, not in 1997.

Are you kidding me? But anyway, I really appreciate you coming along with me,

Angela. Oh, sure, Tony.

I just wanted the parole board to know that Nick's got some good, solid law

-abiding citizens in his corner.

they probably haven't had you -know -what in years.

Mona, are you kidding? I hear this place allows conjugal visits.

Oh, well, they probably haven't had you -know -what since lunch.

Here comes Nick!

Nick! Nick! Nick! What do you see, Nick? You ain't gonna believe it. Something

weird has happened to him.

He got nice.

My man!

My friend!

Isn't this a glorious...

to be alive.

Willie got the chair.

All right, for the rest of us, then.

Oh, it is so wonderful to be back in the bosom of my family and friends.

Ladies, I want you to meet my colleagues. This is Howard and Myron and

This is Mona.

And Angela. And you all know my son -in -law, Tony.

Tony! Hey, Torch. What's cooking?

You're pretty.

Thank you, torch.

Mrs. Robinson, let me feast my hungry eyes upon these.

He makes up stuff like that all the time.

Prison brings out the poet in me.

I'll tell you something. These gray walls can change a man.

I can't wait to get out of here. I'm going to make my family proud.

You are my little Sam Bean.

Nick.

Funny you should mention Samantha. I can't wait to see her, Tony. You know,

been sunning in the wreckyard every day, so she thinks I've got a Florida tan.

The tan looks great, Nick. Thank you.

Samantha knows the truth, Nick.

Which truth?

You know, she knows you're not in Florida. She knows you're in prison, and

knows why.

Does she also know my Swiss bank account number?

Mr. Rat Fake Informer!

What happened to St. Nick? Never mind. You may not care what Samantha thinks of

me, but she is my only granddaughter.

I don't want her to think I'm a crook.

You are a crook. A piggy, piggy, piggy.

I asked you to tell one lousy little lie.

You can't even do that right.

Hey, hey, hey. Don't you lay this on me. I try to cover your trash, but you

leave big trash. Ah, stupid.

Jailbird. Loser.

Loser.

This man.

This man is so beautiful.

He took a rotten bum like me and turned him into something that I just... I

never thought I'd be.

A friend.

Thanks, cupcake.

Cupcake? Well, he must work in the prison bakery.

Torch, let it be noted that Mr. Milano has established an excellent rapport

with his fellow inmates.

Hi, Angela.

Yo, Torch.

The parolee must also demonstrate that he has good relations with his family.

Are any of Mr. Milano's relatives present?

Yeah, I am. I'm Tony Maselli.

I'm Nick Milano's son -in -law.

I probably know him better than anybody else here. I'll give you the real truth

on him. Sorry, sorry, sorry, please.

For years, the name Nick Milano has meant three things to me.

Thief, liar, and all -around rotten guy.

Thanks.

Since I've been coming here... You know, I've seen him change.

I've seen a change come over Nick Milano, and now I'm proud to call him

Well, so he made a few mistakes.

Is that a crime?

Well, in this case, it is.

But that's the great thing about this country. You make a mistake, you pay for

it, they give you another chance.

I mean, hey, is this the face of a hardened criminal?

I say no.

I say this is the face of a man who just wants to make his granddaughter

proud.

After hearing the testimony and considering all the evidence, the board

made a decision concerning the early parole of Nicholas Milano.

Oh, this is it, fella.

Nick, you're out of here, baby.

Parole denied.

When I see injustice like that in the world, it makes me so mad, I just want

to... Eat?

Yeah. If anyone deserves to be free, it's Nick. I'll drink to that.

Hi, guys. Hi, Red.

Nick, how did you get out? How did you get in? How'd you get here?

I took a cab.

Tony, this turkey is a tear dry.

You broke out of jail, Nick? You're not supposed to do that. You're supposed to

stay there. That's what the bars are for.

There ain't a minimum security prison built that Nick Milano can't break out

Nick, I'm new at the prison game, but it seemed to me that the parole board felt

pretty strongly that you should hang around for a few more months.

Those guys wouldn't know a reformed man if he hit him over the head with a lead

pipe. So I took her to a higher court.

What higher court? The big guy upstairs.

I went back to my cell. I knelt on that cold, hard cement floor.

And I said, Lord, if you want me to stay in this rotten, stinking hole,

give me a sign.

Nothing happened, so I left.

I know just how you did it, too, huh?

The guards, they think you're asleep in your crummy, rotten cell. But that ain't

you. It's a lifelike dummy made up of newspaper and spit. But by the time the

cops find out, see, you've flown the coop and you're sucking free air, baby.

Huh? Is that what happened? Close.

I borrowed this uniform and I went out the back door.

I just couldn't stay in there knowing that my little Sambina hated me. Nick,

your sentence was up in eight months. You could have stalled out a free man.

Now they're going to be after you with dogs and guns.

Coming here?

To my house?

It's worth the risk. I'm not sure.

Gee, you know, it's awfully bright in here.

Uh, Tony, would you make sure that it's not too bright in the rest of the house?

surround us? Well, I'm sorry, Tony. I'm just not as calm as the rest of you.

This happens to be my first fugitive.

Don't think of me as a fugitive. Think of me as self -paroled.

I don't mean to be an ungracious hostess, but would you go back to prison

immediately?

Angela, please, don't ask me to do that. I gotta make it right with my little

Sam, you know. Come on, what are you trying to do?

You're trying to break a grandfather's heart?

Oh, Nick, you know... Tony, we have to talk.

Yeah? Yeah.

Now? Now.

I'll be back.

Tony, I know this is very painful for you, but you have got to turn him in.

Angela, it's not that simple.

I mean, where I come from, you don't rat on family.

Not even in -laws.

Hey, this is the code of the street.

Well, Tony, where I come from, a good citizen cooperates with the police.

And that is the code of the cul -de -sac.

We could make magic together.

Let's go to your place quick.

Oh, I don't know, Nick.

I've never been alone with a hardened criminal before.

Tony,

you have got to talk to him.

Angela, I just walked in a room. I've got to work up to this.

Hi, Nick. Hit the road.

I didn't feel it was going to happen.

I guess I'm going to have to be going.

Nick, where will you go?

I don't know.

Whatever hellhole Faye dumps me in.

Probably Rio.

That settles that.

Have a nice flight.

Oh, hold on. Wait a minute. Angela, Angela. Come on, Tony. Talk to her, will

you? Hey, talk to her yourself. Come on, Angela. Talk to me yourself. Please,

don't let me go like this. I mean, I just want to see my little Sambino one

time, okay?

That's my only wish.

Could I have one more wish?

Daddy, you're giving me great news.

Sabrina.

Hey, look who came to see you.

Your grandpa.

I don't have a grandpa.

Sam.

Samantha. What?

Hey, remember yesterday you said you didn't want to be treated like a kid

anymore? Yeah, so?

All right. I'm going to ask you to do something very grown up.

Go talk to your grandfather.

Forget it. Wait a minute. What happened to grown -up? That's the beauty of being

13. You could go either way.

This is your grandfather, and he cares what you think. Yeah, if he cares so

much, why does he do all those rotten things?

I don't know.

Because... Because... Because, uh, that's who I am.

Tony, please.

Could I?

Not up to me.

It's okay, Dad.

I'll talk to him.

Kids are growing up fast these days.

Sam being a... Sam.

Look.

There are two kinds of people.

The good kind and the bad kind.

Now, your father...

He's a good kind.

The best kind.

Don't you dare tell him I ever told you that.

As for your grandfather, I'm just no good.

I mean, if there is a right choice or a wrong choice, I will pick the wrong

choice.

Hey, Sam.

You really hate me?

hate you.

I just hate the things you do.

But I guess you were my grandpa before you were a crook.

Let me see.

I guess I was.

Sam, the truth is, I was in prison working undercover for the government.

Stop that.

I didn't make parole.

I broke out of prison.

You escaped?

To see you.

I love you, Sam.

I love you, too.

But you escaped.

a wrong choice

Jonathan

what should I do well Angela when you were a child what I usually did

was open the door that's where I made my mistake mother I am a little concerned

about him there is a fugitive in the house you know he is very impressionable

could be psychologically damaged

Yeah, so school.

See ya.

Let me borrow that radio.

Maybe there's some news about that psychologically damaging fugitive.

That dumb little girl we got in there. She's so good. She's so honest.

Well, she got that from my side of the family, Nick.

She wants me to go back to prison. She wants me to finish my sentence.

I hope you said you would.

I thought I would think about it very hard. This is a very tough decision.

Prison Rio.

Prison Rio.

Rio!

Adios, amigos.

Just once, can't you do the right thing? It is out of my hands.

Adios. Every time I see a Carmen Miranda movie, I'll think of you.

Hey,

hey, Nick.

There's something about the prison. Wait a minute.

What? You can mention my name?

No, no, no. It's not about you. It's about... The prison is so crowded that

governor's going to be letting people out.

A general amnesty?

That's just what he said. How general is his amnesty?

Anybody who sentences up within a year should be out by the end of the week.

That's me.

That's me.

I'm free. I'm free. I'm free from prison.

But you're not in prison.

Uh -oh.

I think breaking out of prison is going to affect your parole status. No, no,

not if they don't know I didn't escape.

Bed check isn't until 10 o 'clock.

Well, Grandpa, do you think about what we talked about? I did, sweetheart, I

did. And I am going back to prison.

Hey, taxi!

I'm going to give him a lift. You can never get a taxi when you're breaking

prison.

I hope to make the right decision.

You did, baby.

I'm going to go say goodbye. I love you. I love you, too.

How about that

news report just when we needed it?

Unbelievable.

Go figure.

when he finds out I made it up?

You mean you lied?

There was no general amnesty?

No. That wasn't the governor you heard? No.

But the Jets are up by seven at the half.

Three years are here.

Tony and Sam are here.

Mom, how come Sam got to go to prison and I didn't?

Because Sam's grandfather is a convict, dear.

went to prison.

What a jip.

Hey, we're back from the slammer. Oh, hi.

How'd you do? Is Nick talking to you yet? Oh, yeah, he's talking to me, sure.

had plenty to say.

Most of it was Italian for have a nice day.

Look what Grandpa gave me.

Oh, nice.

Oh, neat.

Did he make it himself?

No, no, no. His friend made that, you know.

His friend's in maximum security.

Grandpa's in minimum security.

He makes business cards.

Who made you this one?

Nicholas Milano.

Hardened criminal.

Hey, Angela.

I also have something for you.

A note from a secret admirer. Who's that?

Torch.
