We'll miss his humor, his warmth, and his humility.

But most of all, we'll miss the sweet sound of Joey's accordion.

And now to say a few words,

his boyhood friend, Tony Maselli.

Joey.

Hello.

Our friend, Joey Castellucci.

We're here for him in death.

He was always there for us in life.

It's true.

I made Joey's favorite dip for after.

You'll have to taste it.

If your car broke down, Joey C. was there.

If you needed a couple of bucks, Joey was there.

If you had the sudden urge to poker, Joey was there.

It goes great with corn chips.

Which I forgot.

Then go to the store.

It's a funeral. Have a little respect.

Gentlemen, something...

If this sudden happens, it makes you stop and think about how fragile life

How temporary.

How that could just as easily be me.

I mean, after all, you know, we're the same age.

Wait a minute, no, I'm actually two months older than him. Yet he's laying

and I'm standing here.

But for how long? I mean, my life could end like that.

Father, is it getting a little stuffy in here, Father?

Oh, yeah, I'm fine.

I'm fine. Oh, he's alive!

Well, at least he's on key.

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

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

There was time.

I lost a dream or two.

Found a trail.

And at the end was you.

There's a path you've taken, a path not taken. The choice is up to you, my

friend. Nights are long, but you might awaken to a brand new life.

Life around the bend.

Vinny, he has been missing all day. If you see him, please tell him to call

home. I'm really worried.

No, Vinny, the idea of another woman never crossed my mind.

Thank you for planting that seed.

Gonna ski me a mountain.

Gonna ski me a hill.

I'm gonna ski me a mountain. At least I hope I will.

He's back. He's happy. Let's eat.

Tony, where have you been? We've all been worrying about you. I'm sorry. I'm

sorry, guys. I'm sorry. I must have lost track of time.

You know, I was driving around the old neighborhood, you know, where me and

used to hang out. And all of a sudden, I look up and I see this billboard.

And it says, Ski Vermont.

Just then I knew what I had to do. It was like some sort of a sign.

It was a sign.

That's right. It said, take that trip. A trip we've been planning for two years.

Come on, what do you say?

We load up the Jeep tonight. We take off first thing in the morning.

I've got to study for an exam.

Yeah, I have a date. I just want my dinner.

Tell me something.

Okay, fine.

You guys want to stay here and let life pass you by? So be it. But not this guy.

Not this guy. I'm not putting my life on hold any longer. I'm going to go

conquer me a mountain.

Right after I clean this room.

Gonna get me a broom.

Gonna clean this room.

I am so ashamed of us.

For the first time since Joey's funeral, Tony is showing some spark of life. And

how do we respond?

We just want our dinner.

Yes!

We'll do what you want. But I, for one, am going to be there for Tony.

You're right. I think Dad really needs his family around him, and I can cancel

my date.

What the hay? I can study up there.

Wrapped like a rat.

Good morning, everybody. Hey, what do you say to you?

Oh, you missed the experience of a lifetime. Do you have any idea what it's

to go skimming across a frozen lake at 60 miles an hour with the fresh cold

whipping into your face?

Angela. She got to sit in the front.

I'm a little chapped.

Could you buy me some moisturizer?

Absolutely. I'll get it right away. Hey, you know what else? I'll check and see

if they open the top of the mountain yet.

You know, Dad, maybe we should just all take the day off today.

Yeah, after all, the snow will be there tomorrow.

Yeah, yeah, but will we?

With any luck, no.

No, he's acting a little extreme. But Joey's death put him into some kind of

midlife crisis, and he's looking for something right now.

No matter what it takes, I'm going to stand by him.

Oh, my God.

Oh, no way.

Not me.

Only an idiot.

Let's do it.

And that's my case.

I am sitting this one out.

It's a great time.

Tony, are you sure you want to do this? Yeah, come on. I always wanted to do an

expert run. Come on, we'll do it together. What do you say?

Geronimo? Oh, Angela, that's why I love you. Baby, you're the greatest. Come on,

I'll race you.

All right, you ready?

Ready. On your mark, get set, go!

Boy, that is steep.

Watch out for that branch, Mom.

Or take it with you.

I mean, I could have killed myself going down that run. And for what?

Okay, okay, she's looking good. Real good.

Uh -oh. Fat guy! Fat guy! Fat guy!

Tough place to take a poll.

What have I been thinking? What could I have been doing here?

Trying to cram a lifetime into every minute.

One thrill after another. through another.

Exactly, exactly.

I keep thinking it's going to satisfy something in here, but it doesn't. Dad,

you cannot get fulfillment by chasing after cheap thrills.

Lord knows I've tried.

What you're looking for is something more permanent.

Yeah, permanent.

Permanent, that's right, Mona. But what?

I mean, like a hobby, a job?

I guess I'm just going to have to keep on searching.

Well, why don't you start at the bottom of dead man's drop?

Remember her?

What do you mean? You mean Angela?

Yes. The answer has been right in front of you all along.

At least it was.

Angela and I, we're already together. I told her I love her.

Well, obviously that is not permanent enough for you. Well, what's more

permanent than...

Plunge. Yes, and then maybe you won't have to throw yourself off a cliff to

happiness.

You mean, you mean marriage?

Absolutely.

It's been right in front of me the whole time. She risked her life for me.

She supported me through all this craziness. She's been patient and loving

seven long years.

So, what are you going to do about it?

I'm going down that hill, and I'm going to ask her to marry me. All right,

great.

Which way is that money slope? Whatever it is.

Chicken run. That's me.

All right, look.

Give me the best table in the place, all right? Oh, yeah, hey. And two chairs.

Angela will be down in a couple of minutes. So, how are you going to pop

question? Okay, it's all arranged. Look.

It's a romantic dinner.

Candlelight and champagne.

And when the moment's right, I get down on one knee and I say, Angela, I love

you.

Will you marry me?

Huh? Huh?

Seen it, heard it, said no to it.

It's got to be something special, Dad. Something memorable, something romantic.

What's the best I could come up with on such short notice? I'd like to see you

guys come up with something better.

Oh, what about a sleigh ride under the stars? Oh, that is better.

Okay, let's see the ring.

A ring? Oh, no.

A ring?

Man, here, you can borrow this.

Oh, Mona.

You are the greatest.

Oh, my.

Just remember how she looked before you threw her off the mountain.

Hi. Hi, hi. Are you okay?

Yeah, fine, fine.

The doctor says I should have complete movement in my neck in three weeks.

Oh, gee, I'm really sorry. I mean, I'm really sorry. You know, it's just that I

froze and I just couldn't do that to myself.

Well, you two kids have fun.

See you later.

Enjoy the sleigh ride.

Sleigh ride?

Yeah, well, it's just, you know, I thought it might be fun, but I can see

you're not going to be in the movie. No, no, Tony, it'll be lovely.

We don't have to go down any hills, do we?

Hey, hey, hey, this will be fine. Hey, this is perfect. This is perfect. Stop

right here. Hey, do me a favor. Take a walk, and blindfold that horse.

Oh, gosh.

Isn't this magnificent, huh?

Yes.

Come here, come here. I'll keep you warm, huh?

Oh, boy.

Have you ever seen so many stars, huh?

Oh, look, there's Cassiopeia.

And there's the North Star.

And there's the Big Dipper, huh?

Oh!

Tony, could you... Oh, sure, sure. Here you go, here you go.

Oh, it's dark.

Oh, beautiful, huh?

Oh, there's a shooting star.

Oh, yeah, I saw it too, you know.

That's good luck.

Where was it this afternoon?

I'm sorry, Ince. I'm really sorry.

It's okay. I know you're...

You lift me up, I'm starting to drip down my throat. Oh, yeah.

You know,

Angela, when I saw you barreling down that hill today, I realized something

about my life.

About what?

About my life.

I can't hear you. The snowmaking equipment's so loud.

What I said wasn't that... Oh, oh, easy, easy, Betsy, Betsy, Betsy.

You'll get some nice snow off you.

Yeah, oh, gee.

Hey, let me... Oh, God.

How could one thin woman have so much snow?

Yeah, I would see. I would see.

Tony, I can't feel my feet. Oh, let me see. Let me get them boots on. Hold on

now. Hold on. Oh, hold on. Hold on. Oh, God.

The bandages are so tight.

No, I don't think they're tight. They're frozen.

Angela, here, let me try to get him on the ramp. All right. Okay, hang on. Oh,

yeah. Here we go.

Here we go. Okay, good.

That'll help.

That'll help. Angela, this will make you good as new, Angela.

We'll not get our hopes up.

Angela, I've been trying to tell you something all day.

You know, you are the most beautiful, fascinating, and you're incredibly

sexy.

You're the most exciting woman I've ever known.

Tony? Yes?

I'm on fire. Oh, me too, Israel. I want you badly.

No, Tony. My beard. Did you put it to fire?

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, oh. No, Tony, it's still burning.

Sorry.

Sorry. I'm sorry.

But I thought you liked me.

Tony. Tony, I really...

You don't need the wheelchair.

I know that. I know what it is. But, you know, the floor's a little slippery. I

don't want to take any more chances.

Come on. Come on. Let me help you. There we go. There you go. There you go. And

in and down.

Oh, watch it.

That's been one of those nights.

You can start now, okay?

Excuse me a second. Okay.

Well, well.

She almost froze to death on the sleigh ride.

So what did you do?

I set her on fire.

Look, look, look. This thing isn't working out. I'm going to have to wait

we get home to do it. Wait, you're going to put it off? Did you not learn

anything from Joey's passing?

Mona, Mona, the moment is blown. It's blown.

And after what I put her through, I mean, I wouldn't know what to say to her

anyway. You don't have to say anything. You just take the ring. When she's not

looking, drop it in the champagne glass.

Dad, Dad, she'll see the ring.

she'll look at you and she'll know.

Hey, hey, you know, it does sound romantic, eh?

Not very hygienic. Okay, great,

great. I took the liberty of ordering for us.

Thank you, thank you. Is everything okay? Oh, yes, yes, everything's fine.

And now, I'd like to propose a toast.

Oh.

To the most beautiful, wonderful woman that... Oh, oh, look.

It's snowing.

Oh, no.

Your mashed potatoes were a little lumpy and I was really asking that.

Next time, could you use a fork? Yes.

Here's to your health or what's left of it.

Boy, I am so hungry.

Wait, wait, wait. Don't eat that. You want to run barefoot through them? No,

no.

Oh, oh.

Oh, no,

no. Don't swallow it. Don't swallow it. What the?

Wait a minute.

It's not his fault. It's mine.

Yours? Oh, no. My crown came loose.

Now I sound stupid.

What on earth were you...

It was supposed to go in the champagne.

Oh, my gosh.

What are you saying?

Oh, my gosh.

I know. I got that part.

Tony, what do you want me to say?

You froze me. You set me on fire.

Now you made my crown come loose.

Oh, Tony.

The end. Yes.

Yes.

A thousand times

yes. Oh, that's swell.

Oh, Angela.

Here, let me help you put it on. Thanks.

It's Mother's Day.

Oh, yeah.

Mona really, really helped me through this.

Oh, really?

Oh, yeah. If it wasn't for Mona, Sam, and Jonathan, I just think I would have

never proposed.

Oh, so they talked you into it?

Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no.

What they did is they made me realize that I was trying to live my life to the

fullest by taking all these crazy risks. When I was really just afraid of taking

the biggest risk of all, marrying you.

Not that you're a risk, you know, but marriage is a risk, you know. But not

you. I mean, because, you know, because it's like, look, it's snowing.

It's okay, Tony.

Good, good. You're obviously not ready for this. Oh, yes. Yes, I am. Yes, I am.

I know you're doing it for the wrong reasons. You're doing it because

told you to or because it's some answer to your midlife crisis.

No, no, no. That's not true. It's not true. And I love you. I want to marry

Who cares what the reasons are? I care.

Because I don't want you to wake up a week from now and say, gee, I didn't

to marry Angela.

I could have gone skydiving.

I would never say that. I don't even like skydiving. I like you. I... Hey,

Oh, hey.

i love you and i love you and i've waited so long for

you to ask me this and that's why it's so hard for me to say

no
