- Hi.

- Oh, hi. - Hey, ma.

So where were you all weekend?

- Well, you remember our dear old friends

The santorellis?

She wore all that makeup and he had that bad toupee?

- Yes, your dear friends.

- They bought a condominium in new jersey--

The garden state villas,

And claudia invited us down.

- Oh, yeah, that's nice, ma.

You can raymond all about it. Bye, guys.

- No, no, no, no. Come on.

I want you to sit down.

We want to have a talk with all of you.

- The last time we had a sit-down talk,

You told us you were giving our dog away.

"you gave my doggie away!"

- Robert, now stop it this instant.

Okay, so we had a wonderful time.

- No dogs there.

- Frank!

And the condo was just beautiful.

And the food was especially good.

- Yeah, I had a steak so big I almost couldn't finish it.

And then I did.

- Great, see, that's why you guys

Should have a video camera.

- Hey!

Your mother's talking.

No tv now.

- So on the drive home, we started talking,

And, well, we...

- What is it, marie?

- We want to move there.

- What do you mean

Move there?

- We're just thinking about it.

- I want to live there.

- What do you mean...

Live there?

- Marie, this place is so great,

You'd really consider moving all the way to new jersey?

- We're just thinking about it.

But I have to say that everyone there

Seemed so active.

'cause usually when you think about a retirement community,

It's depressing.

- Yes, I generally don't care for the elderly.

- But their days are so full.

They've got golf and a health spa

And theme nights.

Meanwhile, frank and I, we had a good time.

I haven't had that much fun with your father in a long time.

We laughed,

And we took walks,

And we held hands.

- Dad?

- They got cheap booze there.

- No, what this weekend made me realize

Is that ally is old enough to baby-sit.

And, robert, I finally got you married off.

And, debra, I've taught you all I can.

But at the community-- that's what they call it--

There are so many other women there just like me.

- I know that sounds chilling, but it wasn't so bad.

- And claudia took us to the rehearsal space

For the drama club,

And, oh, she started to go on and on

About what a lovely singing voice I had

In church choir.

It was embarrassing.

And then she said

That she thought I would be perfect,

Perfect to play the lead in the fall production

Of "the unsinkable molly brown"!

- Might have to change the title.

- So you want to move away?

But wouldn't you miss...

Raymond?

- Oh, I'm not saying this would be easy.

But everyone there told us

That their relationship with their children

And their grandchildren has never been better.

- I can't breathe.

- Nothing is set, honey.

That's why we wanted to talk it over.

And it wouldn't be like we wouldn't see you.

We're only 85 minutes away.

- Speaking of that, I haven't eaten for 85 minutes.

- I'll get you something, frank.

- Wait. I'll help you.

- Wow.

- Yeah.

Wow.

- Wowee! - Wowee!

85 minutes! 85 minutes!

- I know. I know. 85 minutes!

It's my new favorite number.

- No, wait, it could even be more if you count traffic.

- Traffic!

We have never had traffic between us.

Traffic!

- Although-- although it would be weird.

I mean, they've always been right across the street.

I can't imagine them not being there.

Actually I can. - Me too!

- Wait a minute.

You're actually thinking about giving up a house

That you've lived in for almost 50 years?

You're sure you don't want to try to just, you know,

Finish things up here?

- Actually, we--we discussed what to do with the house too,

Didn't we, frank?

- Yep.

- If we do move, robert,

We want you and amy to take the house.

- What?

- Hey, take it easy.

We wouldn't just give it away.

We'd sell it to you.

- We'd sell it for the price that we paid:

$26,000.

- That is an amazing offer.

- Yes, it--it sure is.

But as much as I love that house,

You know, I wouldn't want it if it means you guys leaving.

- He's right. I wouldn't want it that way.

- You know what?

I think I need a drink or something.

Excuse me.

- Get me something too.

And where's my snack?

- We're comforting each other.

It's okay.

- This is something, huh?

- Yeah, something.

- Something.

- It's unbelievable!

This is amazing!

- Take it easy. They're right in there.

- I'm a little excited. I'm a little excited.

I'm just a little excited.

- Wait, wait, wait, wait. - Shhh.

Wait till you hear the best part.

- We get the house.

- What? - Our own house!

- You get the house?

- We get the house. $26,000.

- Wh-why do you get that?

- What do you care, ray? - $26,000!

- 85 minutes. - Yeah, you're right!

- The kids seem pretty shaken up.

- Yeah.

- I feel bad.

- How are we gonna break it to them

That we already signed the lease?

- I don't want it to feel like we're running out on them.

I mean, they should tell us to go.

It should come from them.

- How are you gonna get them to do that?

- Well, just let me do the talking.

- That should make them want us to go.

Oh, you.

It's exciting, isn't it, chi-chi?

- It's--it's not easy to think about.

- You got that right, yeah.

- It is a painful time.

- We really enjoyed this weekend,

More than we have in a long time.

Maybe it's not the right time to make such a big change.

- You know, mom...

There's nothing wrong

With you doing something for yourself once in a while.

- Yes, you are always thinking of everyone else.

- You give, give, and then you give some more.

- Yes, and you too, frank.

- It has always been about others.

- So what do you think, marie?

Okay, let's do it.

great!

- How great is it

That my parents are moving into a furnished place?

- You know what else is great?

A yard sale.

- Hey.

- Wow, look, honey, our neighbors have stopped by.

- Howdy, neighbor.

- Howdy, neighbor.

- Wow, look at this place.

Yeah.

- You okay?

- Yeah, I guess it's--it's--

This is all just hitting me.

It's really happening, huh?

- Oh, yeah! No kidding it's happening.

I got some party hats and noisemakers.

Huh, see that?

Got the champagne in the fridge.

Buh, buh, buh--my chair!

- Oh!

- What's with you?

- I just haven't been over here since they packed.

Weird, isn't it?

- Yeah.

Closing day at the mental institution.

- Yep, final clearance. All crazies must go.

- Come on, come on. - What?

- I don't know.

It's just that now that it's actually happening,

I feel...

- Like ruining everything?

- Sad.

I-I'm gonna miss them.

They're my family.

- Oh, well, of course. We all feel that.

- Yeah, sure.

- No, of course. They're like family, yeah.

- You know, I mean, I've spent more time with them

Than anyone over the last ten years.

I mean, 'cause ray, you go to work every day,

And you guys see them, what, a couple times a week.

I've been with them every day-- morning, noon, and night.

- That's why you should be

Dancing around naked in a fountain.

I know, I know.

It's just--

It's just all happening so quick, you know?

It's like, "boom, see ya, bye."

Oh, gosh.

I don't know.

I'm always looking for the worst in marie, and...

I just shouldn't.

- Oh!

Ah, wait, wait.

Deb...

Is this your...

You know, ladies time?

- No, ray, that's not it.

- All right. Okay.

I'm sorry.

But it's coming soon, right?

- No, ray. - Okay, sorry, sorry.

ladies time.

- No, deb, I see what you're saying.

- No, you don't.

It's one thing to be sad, okay?

I'm all for sad...

After they're gone

And after the party, all right?

I'm sorry, debra,

But my mom is in a very emotional state right now,

And your sudden insanity just might make her stay.

All right, I bought this house fair and square.

$26,000 for a house!

- I'm just having feelings.

- Well, we all have those,

But there's a time to express them

And a time to just keep that crap inside.

- Good for you.

Good for you. Yes.

- Look, it's just, I always thought that marie and I

Would one day learn to, you know, get along.

I cannot just let her leave and say nothing.

- Get her.

- Stay where you are.

- Get out of my way, robert.

- All right.

- Well, I guess that's everything.

- Marie, I want to say something.

- Good-bye, we love you.

I guess it's time to go.

- Yeah, yeah, is it 4:00 already?

Remember the traffic, dad, huh?

- Holy crap, marie. Let's hit it.

- Marie, I have some unresolved feelings.

- Ow!

- Okay.

I know I should have said this years ago, but...

We kind of--

No, we have butted heads a lot over the years, and...

We've said some unfortunate things

To each other and about each other,

And I guess we've just decided that that's how it is.

But I know that you and I are not okay

With the way things are between us.

You know, when you told me that you were moving,

I was happy because it meant

I wouldn't have to deal with all the fighting

And the tension.

But I don't like feeling that way.

I feel like we're just giving up,

And I don't want to do that.

I don't.

I...

I think that there could be so much more for us.

And I'm sorry that we haven't gotten there yet,

But I think that we can.

- Oh, debra.

Do you know what your problem is?

You're always so dramatic.

I'm fine with the way we are.

- Have a great trip.

- Oh, thank you, dear.

- Tick-tock, marie.

- Oh, marie, I'll miss you.

- Oh, and I'll miss you too.

Oh, robbie.

Robbie.

Oh, you're such a good boy.

I know the house will be in fine hands

With you two living in it.

- Thanks, ma.

And I just want to say--

- Raymond!

- It's okay. It's okay.

- Yeah, marie, let's get to the retirement village

While we're still young.

- All right, all right.

Good-bye.

I'll miss you all.

And there's some nice fruit in the refrigerator.

We always have too much fruit in this house.

We'll call you when we get there.

- Wait, wait.

Uh...

Well, we should throw you like a...

A going-away party, you know?

Here, see?

It's like a party.

- Hey, you're coming out next weekend.

- Ray's right.

Wouldn't it be nice to mark the occasion?

- Yeah, dad, don't you want to say a real good-bye?

- Aw, come on, we're not going to the cemetery.

Just jersey.

- What is it, frank?

- Nothing.

I'm trying to figure out if I should pee first.

Aw, what the hell? I'll make it interesting.

- Okay, well...

You want to sit down?
