Original subtitles

There's a time for love and a time for living. Take a chance and face the wind.

Open road and a road that's hidden. A brand new life broke down for being.

There were times I lost a dream or two.

Found the trail and at the end was you.

There's a path you take and a path not taken.

The choice is up to you, my friend.

Not so long, but you might awaken to a brand new life, a brand new life, a

new life around the game.

Dinner time!

I said, dinner time!

Okay.

Okay, you're getting the song.

Dinner's here, right in there. We've got pasta, angel hair, and the capons are

running along.

Will somebody shoot him?

Did I hear somebody say...

I've lost my appetite.

Me too. Me three.

Well, I'm all set for my cruise now.

Angela, you're a doll to lend me the luggage.

It's my pleasure.

Is there anything else you'd like to borrow?

Oh, no, no. You people have been too generous already.

Thanks again.

That's all right, Mrs. Rosen. You need some. You just asked. Well, there is one

little favor.

Could you house sit for me while I'm gone? It'll only be three days.

Oh, well, I was thinking about... Somebody needs to feed my little cat

his hairball medicine.

Well, I... No, no, forget I said that.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to put you on the spot. Here, here, just take this,

right? Well, what's this?

It's the address where I want my cat buried when he chokes to death.

My little Fiorello snookum.

Don't do dead pet guilt.

All right, Mrs. Rossini, I'll watch your apartment.

Only if you wanna.

I wanna. I wanna.

Oh, you're such a good boy.

All right, I gotta run. You can give me that. Okay, okay. All right, Mrs.

Rossini. Take care. Bye -bye.

I don't wanna.

Hiya, Fiorello.

Hot enough for you?

Hi, doll baby.

Go figure.

An October heat wave and the humidity.

I think the perfect weekend to get out of Brooklyn, huh?

But don't open the window.

Little Fiorella will run out.

Have a good time. Love, Mrs. R.

Oh, that release.

Oh.

It's so hot. Hey, Fiorello.

Stay.

Heal. I'm going to say to a cat.

I'll move.

Hey!

Stifle it up there, you moron!

Hey, who you calling a moron, you?

Dennis! Hey, it's me, Tony!

Dennis.

Dennis!

Man, it's been ages. Hey, how's that gorgeous wife of yours? Great! I'll give

her a call and get her up here. All right, the phone is right here. Hey,

Get your fanny up here!

Oh, I love Brooklyn.

I tell you, Tony, I'm so glad I left the old neighborhood and moved here.

It's like I discovered a brand new world.

Dennis, you only moved a block and a half.

So I'm not Marco Polo. Sue me.

Hey, Dennis Jr., you take your fingers out of your sister's nose.

Tony, Mr. Tony, you're so cute.

Ginger, Ginger.

So, Ginger, you're what, 18, 19 months pregnant?

Doctor says it's going to be a boy. Yeah, well, I think it's going to be an

Oldsmobile.

Hey, this is great. Why don't you guys get a sitter? We'll go out and hit the

town. Sure, we can bring my sister -in -law along.

What do you mean? Lynn's here too?

Yeah, yeah. She's upstairs and her hubby's away. She'll make a nice

Let's call her. What's her number?

Yo, Lynn!

Come on down!

Your phone bills must be nothing, huh?

Lynn, take it easy. Don't hurt yourselves.

Surprise!

Angela?

What are you doing here?

I came to surprise you.

And this Lamaze class.

Hey, everybody, this is Angela. Angela, this is Dennis, Ginger, and Lynn. We all

grew up together.

Oh, well, very nice to meet you.

Since you've seen each other. Oh, we haven't seen Tony since he moved to

Connecticut to work for some uptight career lady.

This is the uptight career lady.

Oh, nice to meet you.

So what business are you in? Oh, I own my own advertising agency. Oh, yeah.

Do you make any of them funny beer commercials?

No, no, I don't. Oh.

in twins?

Hey, no, but you know what? She did work with them little dancing raisins.

Hey,

she knew them when they were just grapes.

Well,

I hate to bother you guys, but I need food every two hours.

I'm eating for three.

Lynn, you're having twins?

Oh, man, I always wanted twins.

You did? You never told me that.

Well, sure, it would have been nice to have a little Sammy with my little

Samantha.

What are you waiting for, Miss Sally? Grab yourself a girl. Get to some

baby making.

You know what I feel like? I feel like a real cutlet hero, huh?

Some nice real cutlets smothered in mozzarella.

Sounds a little heavy.

So you'll gain a pound. You'll be up to a size one.

Well, let me help you. Don't dawdle.

Did I exude love or what?

Boy, that Tony is so cute.

You know, he hasn't changed since high school. You could take the boy out of

Pitkin Avenue, but you can't take Pitkin Avenue out of the boy.

Right? Yeah, I guess.

You know, before you got here, Tony was telling us how much he missed Brooklyn.

Oh, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, what's there to miss?

But if you grew up here, you'd understand.

Um, so, what do you girls do in your spare time?

Go ball and drink beer.

No, I meant when you're away from the guys.

Go ball and drink beer.

But we skip the beer when we're pregnant.

Oh, good. I haven't had beer since 1983.

So, Angie, is your husband working tonight?

Uh, no. No, I'm divorced.

Oh, you poor thing.

No wonder why you have to work at that odd place, huh?

Oh, no, I work there because I love it.

I swear.

Well, what about you? Have you ever thought of any job that you'd like to

I used to work, and it was okay.

But I kind of like Dennis taking care of everything.

Every morning when he wakes up, he hugs me and says, How's my precious honey

bunny? Then he kisses me and says, what's for breakfast?

Oh, that is sweet.

He's the best.

Catch him, what's moving, ladies?

Stop it!

Don't worry, Angie, your dentist will come along.

Boy, am I starved. All right, let's go, let's go. I got an idea.

What do you say we work off the veal collars by bowling a couple of games?

what a great idea.

And it'd be just like old times. That's eight teams. Us two against you two.

And Angela.

Tony, is this really what you want to do with two pregnant women? Get them

bowling? Are you kidding? Rita Morant delivered her Brian behind the shoe

and she still bowled a two -thirty spot.

Let's go.

All right. Phone machine on. Radio off.

Let's see. Anything else? Come on. Let's go. Okay.

Don't shoot.

Don't shoot.

He's cute.

He wanted out.

He wasn't supposed to go out?

Mrs. Rosini will die if she loses that cat.

Great, Lynn could get her apartment.

Look, I guess you guys are going to have to go without me. I've got to wait for

Fiorello. Well, why don't we just leave the window open?

Well, why don't we just leave a sign out there that says rob me?

Look, it's my fault. I'll stay. No, no, it's my job. I'll stay. No, Tony,

believe me, I want to stay. Look, she wants to stay.

Are you sure? I'm positive. You go on, go on, have fun.

All right, okay.

I'll keep you right out for the count, all right? I will, I will.

Nice meeting you, Angela.

Yeah, too bad you don't live in the neighborhood. We could get together.

That would have been nice.

Come on, if you call it some bowling, I'm home.

Laughter.

keeps rolling along.

Tony must have overslept.

Come on, how come you didn't come to bed last night? You know I don't sleep well

when you're not beside me. I'm sorry, babe. I was waiting for Fiorello to come

back. Hey, Fiorello, you rotten cat!

Hey, come on, sweetheart, where's breakfast?

I have to open the fish store early this morning.

I'm getting a big shipment of mackerel in today.

I'll pick out a good one for us for dinner, huh?

Forget fish. I'm making your favorite dinner tonight, veal cutlets.

Smothered in mozzarella?

What else?

And for dessert?

Cheesecake? In your favorite flavor.

Me! Come here.

You'll have it right here, baby.

Will you give it a

rest?

Sex isn't everything, you know.

What do you want for breakfast?

I want somebody to scratch my itch.

Not without a glove.

Hey, honey, be nice.

All right, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Ma.

Ma, I'm sorry. Let me do that for you. I scratch your itch, huh? What crawled

down your shirt and died?

Maybe something that was living in your hair.

I'll get it. I'll get it. Probably my Bible study class.

Your mother had to come live with us.

Oh, no.

It's the Hawaiian eyesore.

Hey, glad, huh?

Hey, Mrs. Rossini, I'm glad you're here because I got a little surprise for you,

huh? Oh, my rent check a week early. The perfect tenant.

The perfect provider.

Well, you know, fish has been very good to me.

And so has my wife.

I don't know. We must be lucky because we got the perfect life.

Did they exude love? Or what?

Well, I'm off on my single truth.

Yet with a muumuu like this, I should be able to snare a fella, huh?

You mean scare a fella.

Bye, Mrs. Rossini.

Bye. Oh, hey. What is it with you? You gotta have words for everybody?

Not everybody.

I would never say it.

Anything nasty about my daughter, she's perfect.

Mom.

You woke the twins. Now go in there and quiet them down.

No problem.

Hey, kids, you want your grandma in there?

They love me, huh?

Hey, grandma sounds a lot better today.

Good morning, Mom.

What is it with you two? You with that red lipstick.

And you, what is it with you? Every day more oil, more grease.

Why? Hey, why do you think they call me slick?

Hey, don't make me get up.

I think it looks cool.

Thanks, sis. Back at you. Oh, you look so good.

You could do an ad for one of those hair creams.

I think I got the slogan.

Don't lick it, slick it.

Yeah, we're talking beer commercial quality here. Well, I guess I just have

knack for these things, don't I, honey?

Yeah, you got a knack for a lot of things.

Like breakfast. Where is it?

It's coming.

Let's jam, sis.

Hey, I'll give you a ride on my bike.

Is he like the Prince of Cool or what?

Yeah, he's real cool.

Hey, son, keep your hair away from open flames.

Later, Pop.

All right, be a good boy. Bye.

Nice to meet you.

Uh, Tony?

Yeah, what's the matter? Is it morning sickness? I'll get the pill.

No, no.

Honey, could we talk?

It's kind of important.

You mean like fire escape important?

Yeah. Yeah, well, come on. Let's go.

All right.

Yeah.

Hang on a second here.

All right.

Come on, baby.

Oh, boy.

Listen.

What's on your mind?

Tony, I know this sounds crazy, but I've been thinking about my life lately and

where it's going.

And I want to go to night school.

I want to get a degree.

And a job, maybe in advertising.

Honey, honey, that's no life for you.

Well, you heard me with those slogans. I'm good at it.

Yeah, but you're a wife and a mother.

I mean, I thought that's what you always wanted.

I thought you were happy. Oh, I am happy, but I could be happier.

Well, I don't get it.

I mean, isn't the life I've given you enough?

I mean, it's enough for me.

Maybe we want different things.

Oh.

So now it's different things, huh?

All right, sure. Go ahead. Go find your different things.

And while you're piling around with the double mid -twins, what am I supposed to

be doing? What? Taking care of kids?

Cleaning a house?

Imagine that.

Me, a housekeeper.

Hey there, Fiorella, you rotten cat.

Is that cat back yet?

Uh -uh.

Oh.

Hey, I brought you something back. Oh, a veal cutlet here. Yeah, you know it.

Hey, I knew you were worried about the cholesterol, so, you know, instead of

mozzarella, it's smothered in tofu.

Oh.

Good. Well, they'll never mistake you for a Brooklyn girl, huh?

Um, Tony, can we talk?

Sure, what's the matter? No, I mean, um, let's go to our usual spot.

Our usual spot? Yeah.

You know, the fire escape.

It's where we talk.

Gee, what was I thinking?

Watch yourself.

There you go.

No,

you're supposed to sit on the other side.

Okay.

Did you have a good time tonight?

Oh, yeah. Bowling was great. Me and Ginger won.

Every time Dennis went to bowl, Ginger would grab her stomach and say,

Contractions!

Instant gutter ball, you know?

That was a dirty trick. Yeah, I know, I know. I'm glad I thought of it.

Dennis and Ginger are a lot of fun.

Yeah. They got a great life.

Kind of makes you wonder if that's the way things should be.

You know that the husband goes to work and the wife stays home with the

children. Oh, gee, Angela, that's very narrow -minded of you. I mean...

You know, what's wrong with the husband staying home and the wife going off to

work? Why are we talking about this?

No reason.

You villain.

You rotten cat.

Oh, wait a minute. Rotten cat?

Maybe you do have a little Brooklyn in you, huh?

Maybe.

Maybe. Get in there, you. Get in there.

Hey, look, by the way, I really appreciate you staying behind, but it

been a lot more fun if you'd come along.

Thanks.

Honey bunny.

So beautiful out here.

Such a great view.

You've got the river and the bridge.

Look at all those lights.

Angela, those are cop cars.

Oh, well, looks nice anyway.

Feels like we're the only two people in the world up here.

Want some more coffee? Oh, yeah. Oh, but we're out of cream.

Thanks,

Dennis.

I love Brooklyn.
