First you leave Brooklyn, then the entire eastern seaboard? Oh, it's all

Mrs. Rossini. I'm just going out there to teach for a year. Well, you still

the gallon of olive oil.

Oh, thank you.

And this.

What's this?

Name of the other Italian in Iowa.

I can't believe it, Angela. Our first weekend together and I'm buried in tapes

and books.

Stop it.

I will not have you feeling guilty for ignoring and neglecting me.

When he walks through that door, he's all mine.

Tony! Don't kiss me. I'm going to vomit.

Last weekend was supposed to be our weekend, but when you got me sick, we

change our schedule, and so I fell behind. Hello?

Could somebody please pick up this phone?

Oh, this is going to be fun.

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

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

There were times I lost a dream or two.

Found a trail and at the end was you.

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

It ain't so long that you might awaken to a brand new life, a brand new life, a

brand new life around a band.

More bubbly, Dr. Graham?

Justice! Tad, when are you going to pick up Angela?

Well, actually, I'm not. I sent Candy to the airport to pick her up. See,

Candy's going to tell her that I had a late class.

And then when she walks in here, surprise!

But that was a great try, Ron.

Terrific. Okay, it's good.

It's a beautiful party you're throwing for us. Thank you, Dr. Graham. It's the

least I can do. I mean, she's a terrific girl, and she's moving all the way out

here just for me, you know.

And when she gets here, I want to give her a big eye of a welcome, you know,

with a lot of smiling faces.

Rosie,

why aren't you smiling?

I just had a big fight with my boyfriend.

Oh, Rose, that's terrible.

Come on, let's talk about this. Oh, it would be nice. Listen, we'll step in the

kitchen here. We'll talk about this. We'll work it all out for you, okay?

Go ahead. Go ahead. Go in there.

Don't let her out of there.

There's Candy's Packard. They're here. All right, all right. Good, good. Quiet

down, everybody. Listen up now. When she gets in here, I want you to make her

feel as at home as you've made me feel.

So you want us to take her snipe hunting and leave her in the field all night

long?

No, no, Ned. I don't want you to take her snipe hunting. And anyway, you know,

by the way, I mean, never forgive you for that. Yeah, I've met her. She's a

little uptight like you.

No, she's not uptight. She's a very classy lady with a lot of style.

To the bride!

Where's the can? I gotta take a whiz!

Hey, I think you can see why I love her.

Tony! Yeah, yeah. Where'd she go?

She's in a bathroom.

Is she drunk? She's bliss.

I met her in the baggage claim. She was riding the luggage carousel.

You're kidding me. I had to fight a guy for her.

Maybe we better leave you two alone. Yeah, well, you know, she just doesn't

travel well. You know how that is, you know.

Hey, where's everybody going?

I thought this was a party for me.

And now everybody's leaving. I've got my money. I've got my money.

Relax, relax.

Put yourself together now.

How could you get drunk like this?

I am not drunk.

Angela, you're wearing a sign that says open on the rim.

So?

I only had one drink and three Dramamine.

I would have said three drinks and one Dramamine. Oh, Tony, it was a terrible

flight. I thought I was going to die.

The night is still young, Angela. Listen to me.

My friends are here. Oh, Dr. Graham is here. Oh, okay. Okay, I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Oh, Dr.

Graham. So nice to see you again.

Dr. Graham.

Oh,

I got your nose.

All right. All right. Come here.

Excuse us.

Excuse us. Someone have to take her to bed. Yes.

The hell is that noise?

It's a rooster, Angela.

Kill him.

I can't. He's the only one in town who's still speaking to us.

Did I do something bad last night?

Read all about it.

Iowa, you made the papers.

World's biggest sow.

How dare they?

On the other side, yeah.

Fiance of Wells Professor Tony Maselli caused a disturbance at the Brantford

airport yesterday by riding the baggage carousel.

When questioned by authority, she said, Whee!

That was taken out of context.

Tony, I'm sorry.

It was a really rough flight and I...

I guess I was just nervous and anxious about the move.

Okay, but you're okay now, right? Oh, yeah. And you're okay about this? Oh,

yeah. The last two weeks have just been so hectic. All right, here, sit down.

Let me get you some water. Putting Jack in charge of the business and notifying

all the clients.

Yeah, but everything's squared away now, right? Oh, yeah.

Oh, good, good. And how's Jonathan? Oh, he's fine. Couldn't wait for me to

leave. Mother's watching him. Oh, that's good. And who'd you get to watch her?

All I know is it's good to be here.

You mean that, Angela?

Oh, yes, Tony.

I want to be with you.

And besides, it's going to be great to take a break from all the pressures and

the deadlines and to lead a simple life and do the things I've always wanted to

do. Painting, gardening, hunting.

You know, that reminds me.

You ever been on a snipe hunt?

Oh, please. Only a fool would fall for something like that.

Come on in.

It's Iowa, you know, we just do that.

Hey, Tony. Good morning, Ned. Hey, Angela.

Oh, hello, Ned. Listen, I want to apologize for my behavior last night.

really wasn't me.

Judge not, lest ye be judged.

Are these beautiful people or what, huh?

Look, you know, I know Tony's got classes all day, and I was wondering if

like to join me for lunch down at the Elks Lodge.

Angela, you're in the Elks Lodge.

Thank you, Dad. I would love to. Yeah, we're having an AA meeting down there.

We thought maybe you might want to get sober.

One day at a time, Angela.

One day at a time.

Piggly Wiggly's having a sale on navel oranges. 49 cents a pound.

Piggly Wiggly.

Boy, if they were my client, the first thing I'd do is change the... Oh, never

mind. Uh, they're also having a sale on cold cuts. Oh, by the way, what's head

cheese?

Speaking of the head cheese, I gotta go.

Yeah, I'll see you bowling on Tuesday. Bye.

So, how'd we do? We won, huh? We won, huh? I'm telling you, we're unstoppable,

Angela. That first place team is feeling our hot breath on their necks.

Go Wildcats! That's right, that's right. I'm telling you, they're really coming

together. They're playing like a team, you know? Oh, and another thing. In the

classroom, major breakthrough.

Wendell took his history test, got his first C, huh? Go Wendell!

I think I'm really getting through to that kid, you know? Oh, it is great. It

great. So how was your day?

Well, another day, another Afghan.

That's nice.

to be nice and warm this winter, huh? What do you think, huh? Oh, wow.

Great place. Oh, this is adorable.

Yeah. Hey, hey, have an Afghan. Sam, take two.

So, are you nervous about the game tonight, Tom? Well, maybe a little, you

Come on, Dad. You turned this team around.

You're singed to win the title. Oh, that's my girl, Sam.

That's not what my bookie says.

Bye, everybody.

Mom?

Hi, honey, I missed you.

Mother.

Well, attention Kmart shoppers.

Mother.

I just got back from the bowling alley. I didn't have time to change.

Uh -oh.

Was the tractor pull rained out?

You see, you see, Ma, that's how much you know. The tractor pull's more fun in

month.

Dinner's ready.

Have I missed your cooking? What did you fix for us? Lasagna? Actually, it's a

meatloaf. Oh, great.

And Angela cooked it. Not hungry. Me too.

I'm too young to die.

Come on, Mother. Give me a hand with the meatloaf. Probably takes two people to

carry it.

Hey, so, guys, what do you say after dinner we go on a little snipe hunt?

Oh, sure.

So, you drink beer now, huh? Oh, yeah.

I'm wearing a bowling shirt, aren't I?

And you're happy here, huh?

Don't miss your old life?

Oh, not for a New York minute. My life is here. I don't give a hoot what

back there.

Oh, I guess you wouldn't give a hoot if we lost the Prescott account.

What?

He's threatening to walk.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

I knew he wasn't happy about my leaving.

Okay, okay.

Here's what we do. I take a red -eye back to New York tonight. We brainstorm

until we come up with a really great campaign.

Then I take Prescott out. I whine him. I dine him until he's right back in our

pocket and he wonders why he ever wanted to leave in the first place.

Great idea.

Too bad I made it all up.

What?

Angela, you can't fool your mother. Don't tell me you don't miss your old

Right, right. I miss it a little bit.

It's... I'm beginning to wear a little thin here, but don't tell Tony. But,

honey, if you're not happy... I'm happy, Mother.

I can do anything for a year. I can grin and bear it.

Hey, what do you say? Come on, we're starving.

Dinner's almost ready, sweetheart.

You've got the grin down. Hey, Mona.

Oh, isn't this a switch, huh? Isn't this a switch, huh?

The woman cooking and the man bringing home the bacon.

I come a long way, baby.

What is it, darling?

We're number one! We're number one! We're number one!

We're number one!

We're number one! All right, guys, guys, great game, great game. Big, big party

tonight at my house. Let's go home, get some rest, and for God's sake, shower.

Come on, come on in here.

Oh, hey, hey, is this gorgeous or what? Hey, you like my new paperweight? Oh,

it's beautiful, Dad. You coached a great game. Thank you, thank you. Is this

little baseball supposed to come off?

Like the head of an oscar is supposed to come off. Give me that.

Tony, it's still beautiful. Yeah, it is. Isn't it, Angel?

This is great.

Angel, I don't think I've ever been this happy.

Well, I have something that's going to make you even happier.

I'm tearing up your contract.

What? And offering you a new one for three years.

You're kidding.

You're kidding.

This is unbelievable.

This is a fantastic offer. Isn't it, Angela?

Right? It's an humble... Can we get back

to you on this, Dr. Gray?

Oh, sure.

Take your time. Think it over.

Here's the pen.

Why don't I take all the kids? I'll go back to the house. I'll get everything

set up for the party.

Yeah, we'll meet you there. Thank you.

Okay.

Gee, you seem less than enthusiastic about this great offer. Oh, no, it's a

great offer. It's a wonderful offer. It's just three years.

Oh, wait a minute. I don't get this. I don't get it. I thought you said you

happy here, that you felt great to be away from the pressures and the

I did at first.

And then I discovered something about myself, Tony.

I missed the deadlines.

I like the pressure.

I knew something was wrong. I just wish you would have told me. I couldn't.

You were so happy, and I didn't come here to complain. I came here to support

you, which I still want to do. I just have to readjust my time frame.

You know, I was prepared to be here for one year, and now I just have to gear up

for three.

Year up?

Yeah, see, I have to know what it is that I'm facing and then I can get

it. Oh, that's perfect, Ange. That's really, that's perfect. What a great way

start our life together.

Marry me, Ange, and I guarantee you'll get through it.

Tony, I don't want to... It's all right, it's all right. Look, there's no way

I'm taking this job now. I know how you feel. And you'll regret it for the rest

of your life. No, I won't.

Come on, can you honestly tell me that you don't love it here?

Yeah.

How can you say that?

Just a minute ago, you said you'd never been happier in your entire life.

I never used the word entire.

Listen to me.

Sure, I'm happy here. I'm happy here. But I could be just as happy in

Connecticut. What?

Unemployed? Waiting for a break?

A break of a lifetime which you already have here? Tony, face it.

You're doing what you're meant to do.

And, Tony, if you leave here, you're going to resent it for the rest of your

life, and then you're going to start to resent me.

No way, Angela. That could never happen. Don't be so sure, Tony. It was starting

to happen to me.

Well, that's not good.

No.

So wait a minute. What are we saying here? That we can't make this work? That

it's over?

I'm sorry.

Thank you, Marsh.

That was just delicious.

Oh, I am so sick.

Everything she makes is deep fried and covered with gravy.

Does anybody else feel their arteries hardening?

I'm going upstairs to my room to lie down. Oh, another hot night, dear?

Not now, Mother.

Yes, now. I am not going to let you spend another two months up in your room

moping, letting your armpit hair grow.

image grandma i am not moping i am healing nobody

finished their apple fritters the dinner was

so delicious i think we were all just a little full from the

very highly recommended from the agency.

So did the other three.

Let's face it, you are never going to find anybody to hold a candle to. Now

it. Don't worry.

I'm going to find somebody.

I'm going to find somebody. I promise.

But first, I have to fire Marge. You want to fire me?

I don't. She does.

Fine.

I know when I'm not wanted.

Mother, she's taking my coat.

It's a cheap coat. Let her go.

Dad, could you hold still, please? I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You know, I just

to tell you that I really appreciate you coming all the way out here to see me

get this award. Not now, Dad.

Well, I just wanted you to know how much it meant to me. I know, but when you

talk, your Adam's apple keeps bobbing up and down, and I can't tie the stupid

bow tie.

Oh, sorry.

Hi, everybody.

Hi. Oh, that's a beautiful tuxedo. Thank you. Too bad they're all out of the

powder blue.

Sorry,

Tony, I think I got the last one.

It's your week, Dr. Graham.

By the way, at the banquet, you'll be sitting next to my friend, Teresa

33, divorced, lost horseback riding. Thank you very much, Ken. It's very nice

you, but I don't think I'm ready to be teased. Here's a picture.

Hello there, Betty.

No, I'm really not ready for this.

Come on, Tony. I've got an award to give you. Okay, okay. Let's go. Sam, let me

help you with this.

You still miss her, don't you?

Who? Dad.

All right, so I miss her, but, you know, her life is over there and my life is

here. We're both doing what we were meant to do.

Really? Come on, I got an award to pick up. Let's go.

Jonathan, would you please answer that door?

Mother?

Is anybody home?

Guess not.

Well, I heard you were looking for a housekeeper.

Yeah, what are you doing here?

I heard you were looking for a housekeeper.

Can I come in?

Oh, yes, of course.

Do you always wear that outfit when you're interviewing housekeepers?

I seem to remember that you were wearing that the first time I interviewed for

this job.

Oh, yeah, how about that?

You seem to be dressing better.

Oh.

Yeah, well, see, I just came from picking up this award for Outstanding

Teacher of the Year, and then I quit.

You quit?

Yeah, you know, they gave me this big banquet, you know, and they gave me the

award. It was terrific.

And then I went back to my beautiful apartment, and then I realized I have

nobody to show my plaque to.

See?

Oh.

That's a nice one.

Yeah, it is, isn't it?

Like somebody did a little lamp of education.

I like that.

So, about the job.

Not for nothing.

Looks like you could use me.

Tony, that's very sweet of you, but I thought we both agreed.

We were both wrong, Angela.

I mean, I can't apply for jobs in the area.

I just know now that it's very important that I be in the area.

I see.

Yeah, you know, it kind of bothered me that I was out of the area.

Look, Tony, I don't want you to ever resent. Angela, the only thing I

was being without you.

What are your qualifications?

Well, um...

You

got

the job.

No kidding.
