Hey, Marty, how you doing?

Tony, good to see you.

Great feast, huh? Oh, hey, look, the feasts in Brooklyn, they're the

Hey, check out this caricature I got.

Hey, it's got bail.

No, it's Tony.

It's the last time I buy one of these from Cataract Jack.

Well, I hope Mother has better luck with hers. Yeah.

Jack did that?

Yeah. When I left him, he was on his knees screaming, I can see, I can see.

I'm going to check on the kids. Will you get me soda, please? You got it, you

got it. Let me see that one.

Okay.

Okay,

hey, what do you have?

Beer. A beer for you? Okay.

Marty, let me have two beers and a soda for him. Ginger ale, Marty. Coming up.

Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute there, Marty.

Excuse me, pal, but I think I was first.

Tony. This thing's for Gus.

Gus Stone?

What are you waiting for, Marty? Come on, put it on my tab.

Who's this guy? It's Gus Stone. Don't look, don't look, don't look.

Excuse me.

Sir, you're sitting in my chair and on my coat.

Oh.

Uh, excuse me, sir. I think you're being... Oh, excuse me, Angela. Angela,

don't think you know who you're talking to. Oh, yes, I do.

He's a very impolite man who obviously cannot read. Do you see the sign that

says, no smoking?

Wait, wait, wait.

It's not broken.

It's... Tony!

Tony! I'll fix it, Tony.

Tony, miss Sally.

Uh, no, no, I'm, uh... I'm Scott Bale.

It is you.

Come over here. Give me a big hi. Hi, Scott. Hey, it's been years.

So, this is the wife.

No, no. Good.

Because she can get you in a lot of trouble.

Gus, this is Angela Bauer. And this is Angela's mother, Mona.

And Gus is sort of a patriarchal, sort of a, you know, a neighborhood father

figure type of businessman.

You mean a guy you don't say no to, huh?

Yes.

No one says no to me either.

So, Gus, how you been?

Good.

So, what have you been up to?

I'm going to college. I'm working as a housekeeper, and I'm living in

Connecticut. A college man.

All the great minds are leaving the neighborhood.

It's part of the tragic Brooklyn brain drain.

Hey, Dad, I want a teddy bear for you. Oh, thank you, Samantha.

How nice. Hey, Samantha, you remember Gus Stone from the old neighborhood?

Mr. Stone, I want a teddy bear for you.

Fuzzy. I think I'll call him Mr.

Icky Nose.

Oh!

That's a great choice, sir. Yeah, absolutely.

Really cute, sir.

You've grown up to be a fine young woman, Samantha.

Tony, you must have done something right. Yeah, he got her out of this

neighborhood.

This wonderfully colorful neighborhood.

You're right. It's tough growing up here. You hook up with the wrong people,

have to get your father up in the middle of the night to go down to the police

station in the pouring rain with the flu just to bail her out.

So, uh, how is your daughter there, Gus?

Uh, ladies, wouldn't you like a little frozen yogurt?

No, yes.

Angela, you have all the street smarts of, like, Princess Di.

Sit, Tony. Yeah, sit.

I got a little job for you.

A job?

For me?

From you?

Well, I'd love to, Gus, but, you know, I got so many jobs, you know. I'm a

housekeeper, I'm a parent, I'm a college student.

It sounds like you could use a little help.

Oh, you ain't kidding.

Good. When should I tell my daughter to show up?

Excuse me? Gaston did you a favor once.

Now he wants it returned.

Gaston doesn't like the word no.

Yeah, I know. Well, I mean, I could know.

No, no, because I would never say no.

There's a time for love and a time for a little pain. Take a chance and face the

wind. An open road and a road that's hidden. A brand new life around the

There were times I lost the dream or two.

Found a trail and at the end was you.

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

Well, where is she? I thought Gus's driver was going to drop her off.

They probably got lost.

Are you letting that girl come here anyway?

She might as well know.

Mother, Tony doesn't like to talk about this, but when he was a boy, he got

caught shoplifting candy.

Gus spoke to the store owner and convinced him not to press charges.

day, Gus said to me, Hey, kid, you got a big future playing baseball, so if

you're going to steal, make it second base.

So, I owe him.

It's a very touching story, Tony.

I want my locks changed.

Okay, that's her. Now, happy faces. Let's make her feel welcome. Here we go.

no. Is she all right?

She's not a morning person.

Hey, sleeping beauty.

Hi, Claudia.

Scott Baio.

I'm Tony Maselli, your father. Oh, yeah.

You're the yutz who stole the candy bars.

Good luck.

Well, on behalf of this family, I would like to say welcome to... Yeah, yeah,

yeah. Coffee!

Hey, hey.

Young lady, that is no way to talk.

Where's your phone?

I want to call my daddy.

Cream, sugar?

You show up to work like you've been out all night? All night.

Try all week.

The daughter I never had.

Mother, go to work.

Ow! What was that for?

For being a juvenile delinquent.

Huh. All right, Corrie, we got a big day ahead of us, huh? Come on.

Today's Monday.

Which means we strip and flip the mattresses. Monday, mattresses. M -M.

You get it? It's just a little device I use to remember.

My God, your life is pathetic.

Why don't you just take off your jacket and join me in the kitchen, okay?

Okay.

Claudia, Claudia. As assistant housekeeper, your first chore will be to

that up. All right?

Now, David.

kids. What's it doing here?

It lives here.

Daddy's not paying me enough to put up with kids. Wait a minute. Your father's

paying you? Allow me two grand.

$2 ,000 a month is nothing to complain about.

A month?

A week.

$2 ,000 a week?

That's more than you get, huh, Tony?

Pick up the jacket, eh, pal?

God, they're everywhere.

Don't worry, they only come out during the day.

Way to pick a cart there, Claudia.

Fine, I'll put this. Thank you, thank you.

Let's see.

Um...

Wait a minute. This isn't our cart.

It's better. The wheel doesn't wobble, and it's already full of food.

We don't take other people's carts, Claudia.

Ooh, lady fingers.

Look at that.

Oh,

come back here. Come back.

I like these. They're very good.

All right, come here. Come over here, and I will teach you the art of picking

great candle up, okay?

First, you pick it up, right?

And, Kay, you tap it.

You squeeze it. You feel the firmness and then you smell the navel.

Do I leave you two alone?

Claudia, would you please concentrate?

I concentrate.

Oh, sure. Like yesterday when you were supposed to pick the kids up from

I picked up the kids. The wrong kids.

They were cute. I thought we traded up.

On to the apples.

I know how to pick those out.

You're right.

Claudia, what are you... Listen.

We've been together three days. And in that time, you've broken 18 dishes and a

ceiling fan.

And you used Jonathan's stamp collection to mail letters.

You put your cigarettes out in Angela's cold cream.

And little Billy's been hiding in his closet for the past 48 hours.

What's your point? You're driving me nuts.

Now, look, I don't care who your father is. I've had it up to here with you.

I mean, you're nothing but an overgrown, immature, arrogant infant.

And if I had known that the favor I was going to have to pay back was you, I

would have much rather have rotted in jail.

Nobody has ever spoken to me that way before.

Well, maybe it's time somebody did.

You're right.

And I want to thank you.

Oh, clean up and produce.

Oh, Andrew, thank heavens you're here. What's the matter?

Why? No, no, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.

Tomato stains all over the back of your pants. Oh, I'll wipe that off. Oh, no,

you won't.

I'll get that, please. And by the way, I'm...

I'm barred from food town till the end of the year.

Thanks a lot, Claudia. You spilled maple syrup all over my term paper. I'm

never, ever going to forgive you for this.

Oh, Jonathan, I'm really, really sorry. I promise it won't happen again.

I'll put these away for you, Tony.

Well, I guess I whipped her into shape.

What did you do to her?

After I put these away, let's scrub toilet.

Oh, my God, she wants you.

She tried to bag me, too.

She jumped me in the produce section.

It was too cold and frozen food.

Started out as a normal Claudia outing, you know. She scared eight kids. She

broke the lobster tank. Next thing I know, Ken, the vegetable boy, is hosing

off with a sprayer.

Do you do anything to encourage this?

Yes, yes. I yelled at her. My luck, she likes that.

All right, look. I'm just going to have to call Gus and tell him this whole

thing is off. Oh!

Okay, then she wins.

What do you mean she wins?

Tony, don't you see?

She's manipulating you into canceling this by pretending to be in love with

You're right, Angela. I mean, this is weird. Nobody falls in love that fast.

She's running a scam on me, and I'm falling for it. I can't believe how

I am.

Thank you, Angela.

I don't know what I'd do without you.

Claudia,

we have to talk.

Sure, Tony. I always have time for you. Oh, please.

Cut the theater.

You know and I know the only feeling that we have for each other is a mutual

feeling of loathing and contempt.

Tony, that's how you feel about me?

Yes. And that's how you feel, too. And you know how I know?

Because a woman's eyes never lie.

I can look in your eyes right now and I can plainly see... Uh -oh.

I open my heart to you. I bear... my soul and you throw it back in my face.

Thanks a lot. No, no, no. Claudia, wait a second. Wait a minute. I didn't

mean... I thought that this was Angela's idea.

You don't understand, Father. She ran screaming from my house. I haven't heard

from her since. She won't return my phone calls.

Have you spoken to this girl's father?

No.

Which brings me to the reason why I'm here.

Is it true that the church will hide people?

Tony, I don't know exactly who you're running from, but hiding is not the

answer. You don't understand, Father. I crossed a very powerful man, Father.

A man who did something that altered the course of my life.

A man who I was raised to respect and to fear.

I just don't know what to do, Father. As long as the Lord is with you, there is

no man you need fear.

You think so, Father? Have faith, Tony.

He will help you face this fear and conquer it.

You're right, Father.

Once again, you've done it again. You're always right. I just...

I just have to go out there and face this thing head on, you know.

I'm just going to have to go and talk to Gus myself.

Gus?

Gus Stone?

Yeah.

Doesn't he know it's happy hour?

Hey, Miss Ellie, get over here. Yes, sir. Right away, sir.

I'm surprised to see you here. I know you're upset, Gus, but I didn't mean to

yell at Claudia or kiss her in the produce section. You kissed my daughter

the produce section?

She didn't tell you? I haven't talked to Claudia in two days.

Well, uh...

see the distributor right now. They're selling shit.

I don't understand that you hurt my beloved Claudia.

Well, she started it, Gus.

And now you're blaming her.

Well, it's not really a blamed thing, sir.

You disappoint me, Tony.

I haven't been this disappointed.

Since Carl.

Wait a minute, Gus. This is not like that Carl thing. That Carl thing was

You know, this is... How is Carl?

Forget about Carl.

I asked you to return a favor. And what do you do?

You get fresh with my daughter in the A .M .P.? Actually, it was food town.

But I didn't get fresh.

I wanted you to give her a sense of values to straighten her out.

I gave you a big responsibility.

And you failed me.

Well, maybe that's not my job. Maybe that's yours.

What did you say?

I said, uh... This digger has got no fish!

You've been spoiling her and letting her walk all over you. I mean, you've got

to stop bailing her out and show her that you think that she can survive on

own.

You got some nerve talking to me like that.

Nobody has ever done that.

And you love me for it?

I hate you.

Look,

Gus.

I like you and I respect you and I owe you.

And I'm going to pay you back right now by telling you the truth.

I mean, Claudia's a terrific girl with a lot of potential.

But her biggest problem is you.

Excuse me. Are we interrupting anything here? Oh, no, please come join us. Sit

down. Always good to have witnesses. I mean, friends.

See, Claudia stopped by the house to pick up her things, and we had a little

talk, and Claudia has something to say.

You really hurt me, Tony.

Well, thank you, Angela.

There's more.

Oh, yeah.

Angela helped me realize that my feelings for you were sort of like an

infatuation. Like she said, you're easy to fall for because you're assertive and

dynamic and gentle.

And what was the other thing?

I don't remember.

No.

That's right.

She said you had a knife, but... Thank you, Claudia,

for remembering.

Anyway, Daddy, don't be upset with him. I forgive him. You should, too.

Okay.

I forgive you, Miss Sully.

And, honey, if you don't want to go back there, you don't have to. Oh, thank

you, Daddy.

Can I keep the two grand a week? Sure you can, sweetheart.

Make that a thousand.

Seven fifty.

Five hundred.

The kid's got a lip.

Okay, but only till she gets a job.

But daddy... Hey, now that's the way it is.

Besides, I believe you could make it.

Okay, I'll try.

Anthony, we're all even.

Let's go, Carl.

Angela, it's Carl.

Hey, Carl, how are you? Good to see you, Carl.

You look spanked, Anthony, you look spanked. What a relief.

Hey, everything's back to normal now.

Told you I had nothing to worry about.

Yeah, right.

Hey, look, let's get out of here before Gus decides to do me another favor.

Hey, Marty, get some fizz in that ginger ale, huh?

After you. No, after you.

No, no, no, please, I insist.

No, no, no, please, I insist.

What are you doing?

You know...

Maybe she really does love you.

Hey, Maddie. I mean, Marty.
