See you, Big Mike.

Hey, Bob, have fun tonight, okay!

As always!

So this is what I'm gonna say... I'm gonna get up on the podium, uh-huh,

and I'm gonna address the audience, I'm gonna say, "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen."

"Tonight I'm speaking on behalf of my friend Sydney..."

And, um... Sydney! Sydney! I'm really nervous.

- But do you care? - Liz?

I knew I'd find you here.

Hey, Sydney, how you doin', brother?

Listen, I need your signature here so I can change the polar bear's diet.

And you know, it's already five. I'll check in on the calf, you just go home and get ready, Okay?

Thanks, Char. Bob's picking up my dress, I have

stockings, I have to take Mel to the park for a quick run,

my hair and makeup, God, I'm so nervous!

You're gonna be fine.

Now what's the worst that could happen?

You forget your speech and we don't get any donations.

- Don't even say that. - Just kiddin'.

Oh, look at him, Charlie. We'd go nuts in a place this small.

I know. But we're workin' on it.

Wish me luck, Sydney.

He only does that with you.

- Who are you bringing tonight? - Haven't decided. Still got two hours.

Don't shake, don't shake!

No, no, no, no! C'mon!

Oh, wet dog. Come on, let's do it. Wet doggie!

Good boy! Boy, you hungry, you hungry? Let's eat!

Here! Let's go, Mel, she'll be home any minute.

Come on! Come on and eat! Let's eat!

Ooh, this looks good! Um!

C'mon, and get it!

You got some dinner. Come on!

Dinner! Come on!

All right, she'll be home in a minute.

- Hi, my baby! - Hey, babe.

Ah, hey, Honey! It's pouring out.

- Did you get my dress? - Yeah, yeah, picked up your dress from the cleaners.

We're on schedule, everything's gonna be fine, you'll be great.

Mel, I'm so nervous, it's not funny.

Hey, I took Mel out.

- In your tux? - Yeah.

Honey, your pants are soaked.

- Tell Mel to eat. - Mel, eat! Go on!

You are cute!

Spend all day with an ape, what do you expect?

Under our care at Lincoln Park Zoo

Sydney has regained his strength and maintained his excellent health.

Over the years Sydney has become a part of the family.

Here he is with my husband.

My husband's the one on the right.

With the generous donations we've received here tonight,

along with continued fund-raising, of course, hint hint,

I hope - we hope - to expand the gorilla habitat to triple its size.

Thank you all for your tremendous support, and enjoy the evening.

Elizabeth Rueland. Thank you, Dr. Rueland.

Let's hear it for the doctor.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Mr. Joey Gian!

Thank you very much and good evening.

And speaking of animals, the band and I worked up a little something special for you.

So let's get this party started.

"What do you expect most from a relationship?"

"A) Companionship, B) Sex or C) Respect?"

I'd go with B, sex, but let's put C so we get a higher score. What do you think?

I think...

What is it? What do you need? Is it your neck? Here, I'll move the pillow. I'm sorry.

Your back? I can raise you up.

Rosebud.

Very funny. You almost gave me a heart attack, if you'll excuse the expression.

Meg, you can go home, ya know.

To what? My cable's out.

Joe and the kids.

They're okay.

It's good for him to be with them when they're comin' down from the sugar.

He usually fuels 'em up and then they go through detox on my shift.

Well, you've seen it!

Promise me you'll take care of my grandpa.

Now what's got you talkin' like that?

I may never get a heart, you know.

I know you'll get one, I know.

These are by δΘΣτΘP⌠ß⌠Θ which is Greek to me.

You'll be able to do so many things you were never able to do... that's what you gotta concentrate on.

Just think about it, Grace, picture ridin' a bike.

Yeah, ridin' a bike.

That's what you need to think about. And traveling, and painting in Europe

and dating really handsome men! That I know! It's got to happen to one of us.

I'm getting a new heart, not a new ass.

Bob!

Bob, Bob Rueland!

Mr. Bennington. I didn't see you or I would have stopped and said hello.

- Elizabeth's speech was wonderful. - Wasn't it wonderful? I'll go tell her that.

I suppose she told you about our sizeable donation?

- My Missus. - Mrs. Bennington?

My wife... gave, you know... strictly anonymously.

Of course. Very generous, as always. I'm just gonna let Elizabeth know.

We also gave quite a chunk to the rainforest.

And, you know, then, before I know it, I was on a safari, Bob!

Can you imagine me on safari, Bob?

No, I cannot.

I was, I... me and the Missus, hackin' through the bush, what do ya think?

- Hey! Charlie! - Hey, Bob! Mr. Bennington!

Charlie, did you hear about my sizeable donation?

The anonymous one. Yes, I have.

- She loves this song. - Apparently.

We don't want keep you, so let's...

Oh! No, no! Stay, I'm gonna run and put on a little more lipstick.

Is that possible?

- I'm gonna go with you, c'mon! - To the ladies' room? Charlie!

Charlie, you got big news here for Mr. B, don't you?

No!

Mr. B, Charlie's got big news for you.

- What news? - I don't know, what are you...

You know, it's because of that sizeable donation,

Charlie's puttin' up a picture of you in the monkey house. Isn't that wonderful?

- Oh! Charlie, I'm deeply touched! - It's a great honor.

Ya know, it's not official, and I still do have to run it by a couple of guys. I can do that right now.

Well, you two obviously... no, no, no, you have a lot to discuss, so why don't you just stay and...?

Listen, Charlie, would you ever consider

- A mural, maybe? - A mural.

We love it there. My mother's family is from Tuscany so it's like going home.

That's so sweet.

You have to come out some time. Our place is right at the edge of the most magnificent vineyard.

Everything's at the edge of a vineyard, it's Tuscany.

- Mrs. Rueland. - Hey, stranger.

Honey, you remember Celia and Tony.

We were just telling Elizabeth about our place in Italy.

We were supposed to Italy on our honeymoon.

Yeah, but we didn't think Sydney would tolerate the flight.

I promise you we'll go to Italy... eventually.

That's big. If that's a promise, I'll take that.

Where are you vacationing this year?

We're going to go to one of those water theme parks for the weekend.

That'll be nice.

It's a joke, Celia.

I... I promised my wife that we'd dance tonight, Tony, so if you'll excuse us...

- Certainly. - It was wonderful to see you both.

Good night.

It's just a little crowded out here right now, let's wait for the next song.

So really... how was I?

You were perfect. Absolutely perfect. And with the backlighting,

I tell you, I you could see right through your dress.

No, you were wonderful. Really. Really wonderful. I'm so proud of you.

Don't be too proud. Poor Sydney's still stuck in that small space.

Yeah, tell you what, if you promise you'll take time off for a trip to Italy with me

I promise to build Sydney a new home, with or without the rest of the funding.

Deal.

Come on, you can stand on my feet.

We got a female, 34, car accident. Hit on the right side.

Head trauma, unconscious at the scene, never regained.

- Call neural surgery, get Westfall into scrub. - Done!

- Name? - Does she have any allergy?

Sir, Her name? Sir, Her name?!?

We're going to try to help.

- Aah, I said I'd get it myself. - All right, suit yourself, Baby.

Where's Sophie?

Sophie, she got a perm today. Her scalp is still burning, she went home early.

Oh, of course she did. Why did I ask?

Will you go find yourself a gondola?

Pick up.

Now then, Nancy darlin'...

I know that looks massive but you'll get through it.

These are by δΘΣτΘP⌠ß⌠Θ which is Greek to me.

Why, thank you.

Marty, how is Gracie doing?

Oh, fine, fine, you know. We... we're all waiting.

- Are you still keeping up the rosary? - Every night.

- Give her our love. - Oh, I will, of course. Of course I will.

I can do that. Where are the three chicken Vesuvios?

Already served them, Marty.

Ah, then thank you very much, thank you, thank you, grazie.

Oh, you've got it, haven't you?

You have? Oh! Thanks be to God and all the saints in heaven!

Let me talk to her.

All right! I'll be right over! Here's Angelo now.

Call everybody! Call everybody up now!

Hey! You got a heart. You got a heart, huh?

Hi.

What, like an hour into it? Or...

No, someone'll come out and tell you intermittently. Excuse me.

Oh! See! He's here.

- Hey. - Isn't she beautiful?

Oh, you're here. Grandpa, thank you for always taking care of me.

And if I don't come out...

I love you so much.

Oh, you've got to come out, if those tulips you planted,

they come up and see only me standin' there, they's gonna go back into the ground again.

Thanks. Give me a kiss.

Okay, folks.

- Here we go. - Pray, Grandpa.

We'll take good care of her.

- Okay, I'll see you later. - Yes.

I got to walk Mel.

I left the hospital a few hours ago. I came by and took him to the park.

Okay.

Thanks.

- I'm gonna stay. - No.

I'll pick your parents up from the airport in the morning.

Thanks.

Okay.

If you need anything, you call me, I'll be here in two minutes.

Thank you, Charlie.

She's not coming home, Mel.

Blessed Michael the Archangel, who protects in battle,

and this is the greatest battle of our lives...

I know my wife never thought much of you but you were always my favorite saint.

'Cause you're a battler, you're a fighter. Well,

fight for us now, Michael, fight for us.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son and the Holy Ghost, Amen.

Adam Martin Dayton, what is that?

Cherry pop.

- Sophie, did you give him wine? - Angelo...

Angelo, what are you doin' to me here?

- It's tranquilizer. - Oh, that's great!

So sue me. Now they're drunk and disorderly.

Is that funny, Dad?

Stop it, right now, both of you, stop it! Joe!

- Joe! - What?

Help me out! Go get the kids together and take 'em to your Ma's, it's one in the morning.

- Here, Emmett. Nourish yourself. - Ah! Thank you.

Could I have milk, please?

Tyler, c'mon, I want you with your brothers up here.

Hey! I'll only buy more.

- C'mon, let's go. - I wanna stay and see the new heart.

You'll see it when it comes home. Come on.

No stopping anywhere, Joe, you come straight back here when you're done with them.

- I'm gonna stop at a lap-dancing bar. - Oh! That's so funny.

- Where's Marty? - I don't know. Dad! Where's Marty?

Oh, he's in the chapel, Honey.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee...

Want me to shuffle for you?

- You wanna ante a quarter? - Yes, I do, I do.

Ante up there!

Ah! This guy you're talkin' about, he can't sing at all.

- Can't sing! Then how come he's got such a big band? - To drown him out.

Wally, Wally, stay out of this.

How many famous Polish singers are there?

I got two words for you: Bobby Vinton.

Bobby Vinton?! Bobby Vinton, Bobby Vinton!

Well, what have you got? The Irish Rovers?

Well, well, well.

I got three words for you.

Mr. Bing Crosby.

Oh, he made a lovely priest.

Yeah, he made a beautiful priest, but he beat the hell out of his kids.

Doesn't mean he couldn't sing. Sinatra beat up everybody.

Frank did not. His people did, he did not.

Look at Dean Martin.

- The guy never hit anybody. - That's right, you're right.

What about Jerry? But he was askin' for it.

The point is: we got Frank, we got Dean, we got Perry Como,

we got Vic Damone, we got Bobby Darin,

We got Mario Lanza, we got Luciano Pavarotti,

we got Beniamino Gigli, we got the composers!

Verdi, Leoncavallo!

- Millions. - That's right. A dynasty.

- I'm not bragging, but... - You're not?

You're not bragging?

Christ, he goes on for a half hour.

Oh, come on.

Uh, Grace, you want me to take you to the doctor in my Caddy.

No thanks, Wal, I'll take my bike.

- Let him take you in the car, suppose it rains? - Then I'll get wet, Grandpa.

Then you'll be sick next.

Gracie, settle something for us, huh, best male singer, dead?

Dean Martin.

- Frank! - Bing.

Bobby! Bobby Vinton!

Will ya leave her alone, Wally!

Now, go straight to your appointment, then you go to meet Megan.

And if change any of your plans then you telephone me.

I may have to stop off at the Pussycat Club, 'cause I think one of their strippers quit.

Oh, don't say strippers, God's listening ta ya.

Hey! C’mon, it's been over a year, you can hardly see it anymore.

Nice try, Angelo. I just don't like all the questions, yeah?

You tell everybody that you're just the luckiest girl in the world.

I know, Grandpa, I know.

You're beautiful, and no one's going to notice your chest.

Thanks a lot.

- I'll see you later. - Bye, Grace!

- Have fun at the Zoo.! - Yeah!

Ride on the sidewalk, now.

Marty! Leave her alone. Please!

And you can stop in at the church as you go by.

C'mon she's thanked God enough already, okay?

You're going to be a long while in purgatory, you are!

Really? Well, I'll be with friends.

God's listening to that.

All right, guys...

Now, out of respect we gotta give honorable mention to Sammy Davis Jr., right?

He only had one eye, so... what else can I tell ya?

- He was Irish, you know. - Are you blind? He was Jewish.

Whatever. Somethin' didn't fit.

This is hard for him, ya know.

Everyone he's ever loved has died, and I'm all he has, he's all I have.

- Morning, Grace. - Hey, Alice.

Well, everything's looking very good, you're doin' great. How are you feeling?

- Good. Happy. Of course I'm happy. - Good.

- What else am I gonna be? - Well, we all have our days.

Add those to your morning meds.

- 98 point 6. - Uh-huh.

I don't feel like I should have "days".

I should be happy just to be alive, and I am.

I'm alive 'cause someone else is dead.

I should just shut up and be happy, right?

Mm-hm.

Okay, you can get dressed. See you next month. Say hi to your grandpa.

He's a great listener.

- What, Honey? - Nothing.

Tom, what the hell is goin' on?

- It's not my department, don't look at me. - Well, who's department is it?

- Look, my guys worked 18 hours yesterday. - At time and a half, I'm cryin' for ya.

- You got the best guys workin' for you here. - I don't give a shit, Mike.

I got to take a break.

Don't forget, you're on Wabash at 3 o'clock, new beams goin' in.

Keep up.

Mail it, Grace, you'll feel better.

- I know, I want to. - C'mon, stay with Mommie, Honey.

Every time I go to do it, I... I can't.

I don't know why not, it's anonymous.

It says you're grateful, God knows I'd want to get it if I lost someone I loved, wouldn't you?

Yeah, but, it just seems so strange.

Sending a thank-you note for a heart. Ya know...

It seems so...

..not enough.

- Won't you feel worse not sending it? - Well, yeah. I mean, I always have it.

I know, Grace, and it's been a year, so go back there,

drop it in and move on, Honey, I'm sure they have.

Yeah.

Let it go.

Okay, everybody clap for Auntie Grace, she just mailed a very important letter. C'mon.

- Mom, look at the cool truck! - Yeah, oh, look at that.

- Look at their arms. - Yeah! Wow!

Okay, come on, gorillas.

Karson, your pants, Honey, are falling down.

These are Adam's. He has your pants on, Honey.

That's all right, let's go, come on, Laura.

Laura, stay in front of Mommie, c'mon, all the time now while we're here.

Aunt Grace, are you okay?

Yeah. Whatever it was, it didn't hurt.

Well, all right, let's try it. See if we can get him to come over.

- "H"... - Look! Here he comes!

Look, Mom, he likes us.

- Doesn't he remind you of Daddy? - He looks bigger than Daddy.

- Do you see? - That's kinda sweet, huh?

Bob, calm down, don't go in there, I just talked to 'em!

Okay, guys, here's the deal.

My wife wanted this building up years ago,

so the way I see it we're already way behind schedule.

First of all, you: artificial trees are not planted.

I'm asking for an additional 50 feet to build around the existing oak trees.

And I will leave plenty of room for your godforsaken souvenir shop.

And if you don't approve, I am walking. I'm taking my men and it's over, because I don't need the work

and I'm certainly not here because of the money, I'm here because of my wife.

Have you got it?

Good.

Well, thanks for yellin' and screamin', 'cause now I gotta go in there and clean everything up.

All right, look, you want to get a drink? Somethin' to eat, shake this off?

- Come on! Let's go get a beer. - Thanks, Charlie. No.

All right, well, if not tonight, Friday night, because I got somebody for you.

Oh, Charlie, no.

She's got a great body: attorney, great body, intelligent, great body.

You gotta start goin' out! She loves animals, her cat was a patient of mine.

I'm a dog person.

I'm just trying to help you, Man.

- Dan, you got 'em! - Yeah, it's the first time I'm wearing 'em.

- You look good. - Feelin' good.

- All right, need some help? - I think I'll be okay.

Look at you!

- Where are you goin'? - I don't know.

- Thanks. - All right, all right.

I took Mel out.

Put the mail next to the phone, on the pile.

Okay, thanks, buddy, see you later.

Come on, Mel.

Any calls?

You have no messages.

Wanna eat?

- Hi. - Hi, Mr. Rueland.

Hey, Mel!

- There you go. - Thanks. See you tomorrow night.

- Yeah. - Bye. Bye, Mel!

Come on, in the kitchen.

C'mon, Mel, I got you some rice.

Here we go.

You're gonna eat in here today.

Good! Good, good, good.

Come on. Come on.

C'mon, I'm not doin' this anymore. We're goin' back to usin' the kitchen, c'mon!

Goddammit, Mel, come on back here and eat in the kitchen like a normal person! C'mon!

Good boy, good boy, c'mon, let's go. C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!

To the kitchen, let's go! That's it! C'mon! Follow me! C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!

There's a good boy.

Good boy, you made it halfway.

You gotta snap out of it, Buddy.

Charlie, it's Bob.

I'm gonna... I'm gonna go out with you on Friday, all right?

Yeah, yeah, you heard me.

Where? Where?

O'Reilly's? O'Reilly's...

O'Reilly's Italian restaurant?

Okay.

Where is that?

♫ Ah, Marie, ah, Marie. ♫

♫ Quanto sonno agiu perse per te. Famme` durmi, my Marie ♫

♫ Ah, Marie, Ah, Marie. ♫

Big finish, Grandpa!

I'm still trying to get them to play "Danny Boy".

All right, I got a chicken Vesuvio and a corned beef and cabbage, no butter on the cabbage for them.

All right, darlin'.

Here, now, don't eat that.

Oh, my God!

Save it, save it, save it for the Italians! I know you love me!

Are you sure, can we afford it?

Angelo says that a true artist must paint in the Pissa Navona.

Piazza Navona!

- And, ya know, I... I could go over with you. - Sure, yeah, sure.

- Marty, let her go alone. - Or, you wouldn't have to go at all.

- She'll be fine. - I'm gonna go.

She's never before been on an aeroplane and Rome is far, far away.

Marty, she'll be fine, you already paid for the ticket.

We'll discuss it later on.

- Ange. Two more, Hon. - Sophie, Sophie! He gave her the tickets.

You couldn't wait 'til I was in the kitchen!

She had the same look on her face then as she has now. Show her the face!

- Say it! - I miss everything!

Well, the customers out there are missing you, and so...

Can I at least look at it?

Here! Look, look, look! Here!

Don't put your fingers on it!

- Look how much it cost. - It's so beautiful!

- Oh, you deserve it, Sweetie. - She does indeed, she does indeed.

- Oh, well. All right, let's go. - Thank you.

All right, back to work.

Thank you, Grandpa.

Angelo, thank you!

How did you talk him into it?

My goodness! I'm so proud of him.

He loves you so much, he's like an Italian mamma!

Ya know, I can't wait to tell Megan, she's gonna flip out.

- Hey, I got another surprise for you. Come here. - What?

- He is here. - Who's he?

The guy I was telling you about. He's at the bar, waitin' to meet you.

- Oh, Angelo... - Don't worry about it, I told him everything.

- I told him you had your chest worked on. - What?!

- Angelo, he's gonna think I had a... - What?

Whatever.

It doesn't matter, he's a terrific guy. In fact, he had a transplant, too. So...

Coraggio, go on!

My doctors, they say it's a solid transplant.

Look how natural it looks. Go ahead, give it a tug.

- No, that's okay. - Oh, come on, give her a tug!

Good evening, Sir.

- Are you staying or leaving or what? - I'm staying.

Thank you very much.

Bob! Bob!

My man, Bobby! How ya doin'?

This is Marsha.

- Come on! - I have bacon fat on my hands.

It's okay, Grace, I can wash it, shower in it, run in the rain,

anything, swim, come on, give it a good pull! C'mon!

- I don't want to hurt you. - It's okay, it's okay! I'm fine!

- Okay. - Ow, ow!

- You picked a soft spot. - Sorry.

Gracie, mind the four-top over there, will you?

Yeah, I will.

Okay, well, it was really nice to meet you.

- Good luck with your hair. - Thank you.

Hey, Patrick. Wanna grab on with two hands and run for the door?

- No, Ralph. I don't touch men. - It's women's hair.

And then I said, "It's Squeaker, my kitty!"

Everyone was laughing! Ah-ha-ha! Oh!

That's when I met Charlie, he was the only vet open.

- Funny story. - Where are the menus? What is going on?

Anyway, Squeaker won't let another vet touch him.

Yeah, well, I better not hear about anybody else touching your squeaker.

I didn't mean to say that.

- Charlie, I really like this place, it's very nice. - Oh, well, if you like this kind of place.

And everything here is good, that's the beauty of it.

Oh my gosh, look at us, matchy green. "Matchy matchy green squared!"

I'll take care of that.

Thank you very much.

Oh, could you hang this up behind you, is that all right?

- Yeah. - Thank you.

So, Rob, Charlie tells me you work at the zoo.

Wait a minute, he doesn't work there, Bob is there building, Bob's a builder.

You know the new building on State Street? Bob's.

- You own it? - No. No, I designed it.

Oh.

Good evening.

Oh! No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Do you have bottled water?

Sure, anyone else?

- May I have a wine list, please? - Sure.

Do we know each other?

Ah...

...think so. Have you been in here before?

No, no. I think I'd remember an Irish-Italian restaurant.

Yeah, you would.

Oh, my God, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. My water?

I don't want Swiss water, I got sick on an imported Swiss water once, do you remember that night?

Ach...that was horrible.

As long as it's not Swiss or tap water it'll be fine. Preferably French, no bubbles.

I want it cold, no ice, no glass, just the bottle and a straw.

Do you want to write it down? I don't want Swiss water...

I'm pretty sure I got it.

I'm sorry, can I get a cup of coffee?

- Sure. - No straw.

I hate when they don't write it down and they come back and everything is wrong, you watch.

- It will be wrong. - Maybe she'll get it right, I've been here before.

It's not gonna happen.

Nope, not me.

- Not me. - No.

I think your ass is ringing.

I usually don't bring it, I'm sorry.

Rueland.

Okay, Mike! Mike, mike! Excuse me, I gotta take this.

Come on, what do you think?

Patrick, can you gimme an Aquafina?

That's... that's good, Mike. We'll call in a favor on the

welder and work four days for us and one day at the zoo.

Either way they get paid under the original contract.

Who else is on the clock?

Um... no, no, that sounds good, that sounds good, I'll talk to you tomorrow, okay.

No, no! Hold on, Mike! Can you do me a favor,

just call me back in like two or three minutes and whatever I say, just disregard it?

Thanks.

So, the old man goes, "How many times I gotta tell you,

I don't want no brown bananas?"

- Wine lists. - That's a good one.

- Oh, I bet that's refreshing. - Oh, such a difference!

Yes.

There you go.

It's about time.

I'm doing this new food combination, so I don't really need something...

We have some specials this evening: the chicken Vesuvio...

Please! I'm around them all day.

I didn't mean to...

I'm a vet, you know?

...and a corned beef and cabbage soufflé and a spinach

ravioli in an arrabiata sauce, which is my favorite.

- I'll have that. - That sounds so fattening.

- Well, just order something else. - Is every dish here cooked in oil?

No, some we boil in Swiss water.

- We're gonna need another minute. - Okay.

We should talk to the manager here and get that smartass fired.

- Did you hear her? - She's fine.

No, that is not fine, no, that was uncalled-for.

Get out of the way, Patrick.

We're getting a lot of compliments on the pasta tonight.

Why wouldn't we? Angelo's the best Italian chef in the City of Chicago.

Angelo! Three more of the shepherd's pies, if you please.

Oh, that's me, that's mine.

Rueland. Hey, Mike.

I'm just havin' dinner.

No. No, that's not a problem.

If I have to be there, I have to be there, I'll see ya in five minutes.

- Where? - The Wabash building.

- You're saying they're working on a Friday night? - Can you believe that?

- No. - It's an emergency, I gotta be there.

- It was nice to meet you, Marla. - Marsha.

- And Shari? - Yeah, that's it.

I apologize, and... have fun.

Bye.

- Is everything okay? - Oh, yeah, I'm fine, I just... I got called to work.

Ah! Is your girlfriend and your friends, are they gonna be staying?

God, that's not my girlfriend, it's not even a friend, it's not an acquaintance, either.

Yes, they will be staying.

Oh! Will you hang on a second.

- Soph, what is that? - Ravioli and a side cabbage for pickup.

Here you go, Mr. Atsuki.

Ah, you know, on the house.

Come back again.

Thank you.

- Ticket, Sir? Thank you, Sir. - Thank you.

♫ Buona sera, signorina, buona sera ♫

♫ It is time to say ♫

♫ good night to Napoli ♫

♫ Though it's hard for me to whisper a buona sera ♫

♫ With that old moon above and the Mediterranean sea ♫

- What are you goin'? - I got a call, I gotta go.

- You're already out, it's Friday night. - I know.

Drink some wine,

drink some more wine, enjoy the evening.

Can't, really.

I gotta go to work, sorry.

- Thank you. - I know you're goin' home.

I'm not goin' home, I gotta go to work.

Yeah, yeah, right.

- Grace? Umbrella. - Oh, thanks.

Another set of keys. Oh...

I found this phone on the bar earlier. Nice, huh?

♫ Buona sera, signorina ♫

♫ Kiss me good night ♫

Bob.

According to this latest set of plans, it looks like we're...

are we only enclosing the one oak tree?

No, no, no! I got a newer set of plans in my office. Maybe we'll work Saturdays.

- We are working Saturdays! - Okay, look, I'll get the new set of plans.

I'll take this home, my kids love coloring between the lines on these.

- Hey, Bob, could I see the new plans? - Yeah, sure, right here.

- These'll be the last set, right? - Yes.

Oh, yeah.

Did anybody call back about my phone?

Oh, yeah, the restaurant called, they have it.

- Who called? - The restaurant.

- No, I... who from the restaurant? - I don't know, some woman.

- Young or old? - Bigger than a bread box, I don't know!

- I'll send one of the guys to go get it. - No, no, no, I'll swing by there later, it's fine.

Oh, that's cute, that's cute.

Will you stop with the piano? Megan!

Think I'm gonna go in the fall.

- Here's the baby pig pen. - Okay, those are pigs.

The mommy has ten baby bottles coming out of her tummy.

That's cute.

Will you stop with the piano!

Megan!

- What? I'm not playing it. - But you...

What else did you see at the zoo?

Then we went to see the gorillas and mommy said it was you.

Oh, I did not! I did not!

- Did she take you to see the elephants? - Watch it, Joe!

- Did you change him? - Yeah, I'm gonna.

No! Joe! Get up and change him! What have you been doing?

- I've been saving lives all day, Honey, I want to sit down a relax a little bit, okay? - Oh, very funny, now c'mon.

- I'll change him. - No, no, no, Grace, I got it, Grace, I got it.

- Joe, get up and do it right now. - Grace, I got it. I got it, Grace, I'll do it.

- Megan. - What?!

I invited Rudy over. Ya know, to meet Grace. Ya know.

Father Rudy?

Stop sayin' that, he's not a priest any more.

To me he'll always be a priest. Joe, she'll meet someone on her own.

Where? She's here on every one of her nights off.

- He's a nice guy. - It doesn't matter! Joe!

It's not easy to dance when no one's leading. Would you stop drinkin' that beer

and help me clean up the puzzle!

- Here's the barn! The barn is gone! - What's goin' on?

- Nothing. - The barn...

Joe went and invited somebody over, like a blind date for you.

- What?! - It's not a date.

He's comin' over for dinner, Grace, that's it.

- I gotta find my scarf. - Well, ya better hurry!

It's all right, I already told him you've had work done.

What?!

God, Joe! She's not a Buick.

He understands, he's fine with it, he's okay with it, Honey, he's a priest, for God's sake!

- A priest? - Yup.

An ex-priest. What's the big deal? C'mon! He's never dated, you've never dated.

- Joe! Grace has dated. - Who? Chooch Patucci?

I never dated Chooch Patucci!

That's a date?

You dated Chooch Patucci?! C'mon!

I don't say that name said in this house.

- It's all right, Megan. - Do you hate priests, Aunt Grace?

- No, Honey. - 'Cause if you do you'll go straight to hell.

Watch your mouth! Nobody is going to hell.

That's great, Joe, that's great. You taught him "hell".

I did not, you picked it up from Mom, didn't ya?

I have never said "hell", you son of a bitch.

You try to help somebody! Okay! Back off, back off, just back off.

Oh, shit! Father Rudy's here.

Don't say "shit" in front of the priest, understand?

Shit! Shit!

Would everyone just calm down, for the love of God and all that is holy?

Calm the hell down!

Stop playing that.

- Shut that thing off. - No, no... Dad...!

Good night, Nurse!

For Christ's sake, he's just a man!

I'm not used to being without it yet, Joe.

Come on in.

- There she is. - Oh, boy!

Dinner, I mean.

♫ Hallelujah! ♫

I'll call my friend and see where he's at.

Bobby!

Hey, where you at?

You ran away last night, you don't show up tonight. I thought you wanted to hang out, Man.

I'm sorry, Charlie, I'm just not feelin' up to it.

I don't know, maybe somethin' I ate.

I'm just going to... I'm gonna kick back, take it easy, and maybe go to bed early.

What you doin'?

Now? Just watching the Cubs game.

What's the score?

The score? Oh, it's, uh...

Uh...

It's... the Cubs are losin'.

Hey, Mr. Rueland?

Dan the man!

Bob the slob...just kidding, just kidding.

Yeah, maybe you could clean up the place.

I don't think you could afford me.

Hey, how do I look?

Tall.

Tall.

Tall, yeah.

Thanks.

Oh, Megan, it was fine. You know... he was a nice guy.

Yeah, well, at least we had a few laughs.

Yeah, we did.

Did you notice how he was afraid to even let me lift a plate of potatoes?

No, I think he was just being polite.

Mm-hm.

No, but it's like as soon as they know, they think of me as broken.

I think they see you as a kind, loving woman that's beaten unbeatable odds.

- Yeah, that's the way I see you. - Urrgghh!

Okay, Tyler, come on!

- The right guy will know... trust me. - Get up! Up, up, up, up, up!

Can't have Joe settin' you up though, can you imagine

havin' him describin' your surgery, it'd scare anyone!

You and me, tonight, they're asleep, we can do it!

What did he say?

He's saying he's sorry about tonight, so please forgive him.

Left! Step up! Good boy!

Daddy!

- Goddammit! - Oh, Dear.

- Goddammit! - Megan! What?

I'm right here, everything's fine, take it easy.

- Dad, I want some water. - You can't have water.

He can have some water!

No, he'll pee in his bed and who's gonna change it?

I do, damn it.

Okay, potty mouth's gonna change it. Get up there, c'mon!

Come on, Honey, get up there. C'mon, you're going to sleep... forever!

Stop yellin', it's gonna be in their little heads all night.

I'll put something in their heads!

Dad, what are you doing?

I'm trying to put Mom to bed, too, c'mon, go to bed!

- Grandpa, you need some help? - No, no, Darlin', not at all no.

I'm blessed with work.

Sweet dreams, Gracie Alana.

Good night, Grandpa.

Best female singer.

- Dead or alive? - Either.

Peggy Lee.

- Ella Fitzgerald, easy. - Now, I can agree with that.

I agree.

- I still take Ernie Banks over Ty Cobb. - Ah, don't be ridiculous.

You can't mix your dream team from different eras.

- What is this, a new rule? - You can't mix living and dead players.

Ty Cobb was the greatest ball player that ever played.

- A great player, but an animal. - I'd still take Ernie Banks over Ty Cobb.

Know how many people would go to Bank's funeral?

Joe DiMaggio was the classiest of them all.

Apples and oranges, come on, guys.

- Yeah, but you can't... - Compare short stop to short stop...

Now, you are either very late or very early, what's your view of it?

No, no, I think I left my cell phone here, somebody called back, I think it was a young lady?

Ah, I'll have a look around for it, come on in and have a beer.

Oh, no, thanks.

- Have to get home to the little wife, do you? - No.

- You're... you're not married, then? - Mmm... no, not really.

I hope she didn't walk out on you.

No... no, no, she passed away.

Oh, Jesus, Mary and Joseph, that's very sad.

Oh, I hate to hear that, but anyway...

Come on in, we'll have a pint on that. Meet the lads back here.

Now, this is my friend, uh...

- Bob. - Bob! Bob... his wife is dead.

Hey, Robert! How are ya?

That's Wally over there, and this is Emmett here. This is my brother-in-law Angelo.

And I'm Marty. So deal him in. Sit down and I'll get you a beer.

Give him a chair, come on!

- Sophie, bring over another pitcher of beer. - I'm not real good at cards, but...

- You got cash? - Yeah.

- You're in. - Pay a nickel, take your chances.

Well, I'm on my way home.

- Ah, hi there. - Oh, hi.

- How did you get caught in their net? - Sophie...

His wife is dead.

Ah, welcome.

Who's walkin' me?

You're two doors down, what's gonna happen, you gonna get lost?

I hope I do get lost so you have to live with the guilt.

- Oh, yap, yap, yap... - Oh, Sophie, I'll walk you myself!

Don't pay any attention to them.

- Wally, Wally. - Wally, you got a lot of class, Kid.

Yeah, you should have walked her home, I mean she's been sweet on you for a long time.

Sweet on me?!

But you should have taken her home.

What are you talkin' about?! I've known her 20 years.

- Wally Casanova. - You think she really likes me?

Casanovinsky.

I think she likes you.

Why do you think she asked you to go home with her?

Do you think she likes me?

- Yeah, I do? - And she was makin' a move on ya.

- I mean...you got that impression? - I got that vibe.

- Why do you think she wants you to... - Now here's a guy with a little taste.

I can't depend on you two...

- Taste for what? - ...hobos.

So everybody's gone for the night?

The bartender, bus boys, waiters, waitresses? You're closed up?

Yeah.

I'm not much of a player but... Willie Mays.

I'm not much of a player, but I believe all these picture cards are a good thing.

- Oh, Jesus! - Gimme a break! C'mon!

This is your lucky night tonight, Boy!

- Grandpa, I gotta go cover my plants. - Wait, wait, wait, Gracie.

Here, here...Robert, I want you to meet my granddaughter, Gracie, here, isn't she lovely?

Yes, she is. We spoke last night, I was here with...

- Water Lady. - Mm-hm, yes, yes.

- Nice to see you again, Robert. - Bob, Bob's fine.

I'm here because I left my phone and you called back, and...

Oh, yes! I have your pajamas... phone behind the bar.

Grace, I'll get the phone, go ahead, cover the plants. Roberto, why don't you give her a hand.

- You need a hand out there? - No.

Yeah!

Should I go?

Yes, yes, go with her.

Yeah, that's very nice.

And there they go.

All right!

- Hey! I'm gonna play from the hot corner! - You're always looking for the edge.

- Marty, what do you wanna play? - Texas Hold 'em.

These ones are really fragile.

- What? - Nothin'.

- I know I look ridiculous. - Oh, no, no, it's a lovely... hat.

I'd take it off now, but then I'd have a shower cap head, so...

Well, you saw my hair last night. Not that you were lookin', but I mean...

We did speak, so maybe you noticed my head. My hair. My head. My head o' hair.

Thank you.

I'm sorry you got dragged into this.

No, no! You bought me dinner last night, it was very, very good, by the way.

Good.

Did you plant all this?

Yeah, there's no rhyme or reason to it, ya know, ya just let it grow.

It's just amazing, I mean, I've never seen anything like it right in the middle of the city, it's like...

It's like a garden.

- I might have bent that one. - Oh, that's okay.

- I gotta get some more shelves. - Oh, you smell great.

It's the flowers.

It's not this particular flower, 'cause this is a tomato plant... it's all the flowers.

Just put that down there.

- Did you paint that? - Uh, yeah.

Where is this, Europe?

- Could be. - How many times you been?

Oh God, none. I've never been anywhere but here.

It's beautiful, wherever it is.

I should take it inside.

I guess I paint places from my dreams.

I bet you can't wait to go to sleep!

Would you go out with me?

Yes?

- Is that a question? - No, it's a yes. Yes!

- Tomorrow night? - Yes.

- Eight o'clock? - Yes.

- Pick you up here? - Yes.

My, you're a very difficult woman!

You go ahead and take that inside, I'll finish up here.

I'll find your phone.

- Hey, give us a card! - They're coming back in, c'mon on, let's get lost.

What? What! Hey! This is the best hand I ever had!

- Don't argue about it now. - New shuffle, new shuffle when we relocate.

Emmett, come on.

C'mon, get in there, get in there, c'mon, I can't close the doors.

Grandpa?

We're not here!

Who is it?

It's me.

Who?

It's Grace.

I met someone, I just wanted to tell you.

I gotta go, 'cause Grandpa doesn't know I snuck out, okay.

- Do you want me to drive you? - No. I have my bike.

She's not the first woman I've noticed as a guy, but as a man...

You know what I mean.

I'm buildin' you a great place.

I don't know what to wear. Do you think black is too za-za-zing?

I'd wear somethin' light. Whatever you wear, just be comfortable.

I have a ten-inch scar down my chest.

If I was gonna be comfortable, ya know, I'd wear my sweats.

No, that's not a good idea, but whatever you do, don't shave your legs.

Why?

Well, you know, then you definitely won't let it go too far.

Megan, it's a first date.

Yeah, well, I married a first date, Missy, and you know how it is.

You're out with a guy, and you find him attractive,

and then suddenly everything they say sounds brilliant.

Hairy legs are your only link to reality.

You should needlepoint that on the pillow.

Well, I just might. It kept me a virgin until... you know...

- Whenever. - Bye.

I fly down to Florida a couple of times a year to visit the folks.

- I can't wait to go on a plane. - You've never been on a plane?

- Well, no, I couldn't. - How come?

Since I was 14 I've...

My grandpa is sick.

So I always had to stay close to home so I could take care of him.

God, he seems so healthy now.

Well, he is. Now he's fine. He doesn't even like to talk about it.

Ever.

I'll remember that. What about your parents?

My mom died when I was five.

I'm sorry. How?

Heart disease.

My dad took off as soon as her illness interfered with his plans.

It was all right. You know...

Grandpa was always the one that'd take care of us anyway.

What'll you have?

- Can I get two scoops? - No.

Yes! Of course you can!

Watch your head.

This is the first job I supervised on my own.

I love this building.

Wow!

That's incredible.

We see all this 'cause we're standing on something you built.

I had help.

Thanks.

Elizabeth and I were married by the time we were 20.

We'd been dating since we were 15, so, this may sound a bit juvenile... but...

Can I hold your hand?

Yes.

- Sometimes it feels like another life. - I know what you mean.

Thanks for... coming out, I had a really nice time tonight.

Yeah, so did I.

- Yeah, I should give you your jacket back. - No, no, no!

You keep it, I'll get it back from you next time we go out.

- Okay. - It looks really good with your blouse, anyway.

Oh, God!

I'm so sorry.

- My God, did you see anything? - I wasn't looking.

No, I know, it's because I had a heart...

I had a heart... a heart-warming dream about you.

- Must have been a nightmare. - No, you were very...

- Scary? - Sexy.

- You had a sex dream about me? - No, I didn't have...

I didn't have a sex dream about you. I know, I just met you, I don't even know you.

I'm really sorry.

Good night.

Good night.

Morning, Dennis. Boys.

♫ Good mornin' life, good mornin' sun... ♫

Tommy!

♫ Gee, it's great to be alive and in love ♫

♫ Good mornin' life ♫

♫ Good mornin' birds, sing out, you're happy too ♫

♫ Feel so good, 'cause I'll be seein' her soon ♫

Boys, you comin'?

♫ Last night she said she loved me ♫

♫ What a pity to part ♫

Hey, it's the new hip!

I wish I could move like that, Wally.

Gee, Wally, which ball is yours?

- Oh, you shutta your trap! - I didn't say anythin'.

Here goes, Boys!

He strikes! Yes!

Megan, c'mon, it's you.

Hey, get up there, Megan.

Megan, how am I doing?

You look great, are you kidding, I've never seen you look so happy.

I am so hot!

What do you expect, you're wearing a wool sweater!

- It's cotton. - Go on in your lane.

- It's up to here! Just tell him already! - I'm gonna tell him.

Where's your ball?

Here we go.

All right! Very good!

I got you some hot chocolate. I thought you might be cold.

Thanks.

♫ Good mornin' world, how are you happiness ♫

♫ All at once I knew what livin' can be ♫

Do you suppose we could get back to the game?

- I'll hold on to it, I'll be right here. - All right.

- I thank you. - I'll just... bowl.

♫ Good mornin' life ♫

Can I get a beer? Bottle, no glass.

Oh, my God!

I'll be a minute.

Angelo!

- All right, make way! - Come on, killer!

Charlie! You made it.

- Thanks for comin' down. - All right!

- I, uh... thought I was meetin' you at a bar. - There's a bar here, I'll grab you a beer.

- What's with the senior citizens? - We're bowlin'. It's good.

- Everybody, this is Charlie. - Hi, Charlie.

Charlie, Joe. Charlie, this is a good friend of mine. Charlie, Joe.

Emmett, my good friend Charlie.

- Charlie, you in? - Yeah, he's in. Ten spot.

- You for or against? - Uh... for.

For? For? For? Of course.

- What did I just bet on? - Whether Angelo gonna get a strike or not.

All right!

Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio? You're right here!

All right!

- Did I win? - Yeah, you just won!

Great!

You won, I won, everybody won.

Here we go!

Emmett Rand, you're lookin' at makin' your highest score ever.

Which is 67 up to now, Emmett.

- I didn't even know Bob bowled. - He doesn't.

I would...I would like to dedicate this next shot to Grace,

who brought me back to the game after a 25-year absence, that's right.

Before I was your beer-runner and milkman,

the last time I bowled was

Andy Jankovsky's 13th birthday party.

So Grace,

this shot's for you.

68! 68! 68! 68! 68! 68!

Aaw! It's still 66...

- 66! 66! - Hey, Bob!

- Try the other arm. - I got one more.

- So what do you do? - I'm a vet.

Yeah, I didn't... I didn't go to 'Nam.

That's for you, Baby.

I think Sammy Davis Jr. is the greatest performer of that group.

- And I like Bill Cosby, too. - Well, I...

Oh, oh, oh, and Flip Wilson.

Oh, yeah!

What a wacko.

This'll be good for about a week, yeah. I put some bread in there, too.

- Thank you so much. - Bye.

I really appreciate it. See you guys later.

- Bye, Emmett. Bye, guys! - Charlie.

Bye, bye, Charlie!

Poker tonight?

No, Emmett, Grace and I are going to enjoy a glass of wine out back, maybe take a walk...

So I'll let you old boys hold on to your money tonight.

Don't walk too far now, it's getting very dark out there.

How would you guys like to take a spin in my Cadillac tonight? I just had it waxed.

Oh, nope, I can't handle that machine, it's too much for me, but thank you.

- You need a sweater? - Yes, she does! - No!

I don't need a sweater, okay?

You don't need to go far beyond the yard anyway.

I'm gonna have to put the special candle out there that repels all the bugs.

Every species but one!

Marty, what species is that?

It's the saber-tooth fly.

- The famous candle. - Yup.

Marty, will you get away from the window! You look like a Peepin' Tom!

All's serene out there. I think she's going to tell him tonight.

Ya know, the longer she waits to tell him, the harder it's gonna be.

I don't see what the big deal is. I mean, she had a heart transplant.

I went with a girl once that had a club foot, I mean, she had the big shoe and everything.

- Ah, you'll be remembered in heaven for that, Boy. - You're a saint.

Bet she had a hell of a personality to put up with you and the clothes you wear.

Well, he better not hurt her, that's all I've got to say.

What's this? What's this?

Boy! Everybody's picking on me now! Huh?

- Come on, simmer down. - How many do you want, how many cards you want?

Hold it, hold it! Love birds out there, let's play some Pavarotti, give 'em a little inspiration.

They don't need any music out there, Angelo. They don't...

Now, wait a minute, wait a minute, how about some Bing? Huh?

Bing, no, no, we need Bobby... Bobby.

At least play...play something bearable here.

Sorry, excuse me. Look...

They'll make their own music.

Come on, let me handle this.

- I had a good time tonight. - So did I.

I had a great time.

She likes Dean or Frank.

We... we need somethin' modern, don't you have any new albums?

Sorry, sorry.

These are all new, the latest thing here

Angelo, you pick out one.

If I pick out one it's Sinatra, who the hell else is there?

In the beginning... was Sinatra.

And ever shall be Frankie Sinatra, the one and only.

Back in style, though dead.

Frankie! Frankie! Sing it, Baby.

Hey, what is this? A baseball game?

- Oh, for God's sake, it's a live concert. - Yes, that'll work.

- I'll make 'em turn it off. - No. No.

It's nice.

What's goin' on over there?

Let it work its magic.

♫ Or merely the mock? ♫

Oh, no. I'm... I'm really not a very good dancer.

You'll be fine.

♫ Or is what I feel the real McCoy? ♫

♫ Is it for all time ♫

♫ Or simply a lark? ♫

♫ Is it Granada I see ♫

♫ Or only Asbury Park? ♫

♫ Is it a fancy not worth thinking of? ♫

♫ Or is it at long ♫

♫ Long last love? ♫

♫ Is it an earthquake ♫

♫ Or simply a shock? ♫

♫ Is it that good turtle soup ♫

♫ Or merely the mock? ♫

- ♫ Is it the cocktail ♫ - ♫ Is it the cocktail

- ♫ This feeling of joy? ♫ - ♫ This feeling of joy?

♫ Or is what I feel the real McCoy? ♫

♫ Is it for all time ♫

♫ Or simply a lark? ♫

♫ Is it Granada I see ♫

♫ Or only Asbury Park? ♫

♫ Is it a fancy ♫

♫ Not worth thinking of? ♫

♫ Or is it at long ♫

♫ Is this at long ♫

♫ At long last love? ♫

- Hey, Tommy, did you get that...? - It's all done.

- You don't know what I'm gonna ask you. - We got it all done, trust me.

- Charlie. - Bennington called.

Yeah, I told him the dedication is gonna be in a couple of weeks.

He's postponing his vacation 'cause he insists on doing your intro.

Elizabeth would love that, huh?

She would love this.

- You did it. - Took me long enough.

Bob, I'm going to order one more sheet of that double-glass panel, all right?

No, No, Jeff, hold up.

Want to get a beer? Or is tonight bingo?

Come on! Take some time off!

Look, Grace wants to talk, she's makin' me dinner tonight.

She wants to talk? She's making you dinner and she

never spends the night? You see what's goin' on, right?

She probably read that book with... with the laws, the rules, I don't know what they call it, Man.

This is a game that all women play just to reel us in.

- Well, it's workin'. - You are so sad.

Hey, kids!

Sammy Sosa! Right here!

- It's him! - Everybody!

So... I'm going to tell him tonight.

- Please. I've heard that before. - No, I am.

Well, you should, because he's perfect ya know.

Yeah.

Yeah, for me he is.

Don't get me wrong, he's no Joe.

- Honey? - Yes, Dear?

Austin got sick all over my shirt.

I gave him a baby Tylenol and put him in his PJs.

He's going to sleep in our bed. Again!

Kid keeps gettin' sick.

I shouldn't have given him that pepperoni pizza.

What?

Maybe ya should put on a shirt 'cause I don't think Grace will ever be satisfied by another man.

You like that, Baby?

- I'm a bad cat! - He's all muscle.

C'mon, c'mon, you can dance with me.

- C'mon, Gracie, c'mon, you wanna dance with me? - Our rhythm gets us in trouble, Honey.

Hey, hey, hey!

Ya sure you don't want any help in there?

Oh, yeah, believe it or not, I CAN microwave popcorn.

Hey, ah, did you see the... the write-up in the... in the Trib about the dedication comin' up?

No, I have to read that.

Yeah.

Ya know, everyone wants to be there, Grandpa and the guys.

- Oh. As long as you're there. - Course I'll be there.

Hey, Mel.

Mel, good boy.

Oh, that's enough.

Sydney is going to love his new place, I hope.

I'm thinking about movin' in myself.

It's... it's... it's perfect for him.

- I bet you can't wait. - Yeah.

Finally.

Yeah, you've been workin' so hard.

Yeah, but it's been worth it.

To make Elizabeth's dream come true.

At least I could do that for her.

I'm sure she's very proud of you.

Thank you, Grace.

- There's something you want to tell me? - Yeah.

And now would be a good time.

Popcorn's done!

Okay.

I'm sorry.

- Would you save my place? - Sure.

Oh, I got a new CD. You wanna put on some music?

Yes, good.

Okay...

Where's the music?

It's hangin' in my jacket pocket, in the den.

Oh, okay.

"Dr Elizabeth Rueland died in a car accident on April 12th."

April 12th...

Grace?

Gracie?

Ah, jeez, the microwave, there's not gonna be any popcorn tonight.

- I'm sorry. - What?

I have to go.

- Now? - Yeah.

Why?

I completely forgot, I promised Megan I was gonna babysit for her.

- Tonight? - Yeah.

- I'll, I'll, I'll go with you. - No! No!

I'll drive us.

It's okay, 'cause I have my bike tonight.

- Damn bike is so old! - You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine, I just... it's late and she's gonna be worried about me.

- Slow down a bit. Oh, hey... - I got it!

Just gimme that, you're gonna hurt yourself. I can get it.

I'm late.

Okay, I'll just throw this in the truck and take you over...

No, no, no. I'm here, I'm here. Just let me go.

Well...well, then, I'll call... I'll call Megan and tell her that you're on your way.

- No, because the baby might be napping, ya know. - Okay, all right.

She's gonna be worried, don't call her!

- Relax, okay! - Okay, I'm just late.

- What was it you wanted to tell me? - Nothing! It doesn't matter.

Mel, stay!

Come on.

- Oh, my God! - Honey...

What was God thinking?

You know what we're gonna do, I'm gonna take you over there right now and you're just gonna tell him.

Yes, you can.

What am I gonna say to him, I can't say anything to him.

But, you can, you're just gonna tell him.

How? How do I tell him?

Just: "Bob... You know, I..."

"Bob, it's just...", you know, you say it. "Bob..."

You can't even say it.

Well, it's not on the top of my head and I need some time to think of something,

but we'll come up with something great, all right, the perfect words.

I'll help you and I'll bring you there, okay?

- I'll go with you. - I don't want to go.

I'll wait in the car, of course, but, you know, you go in and then... say it.

But there's nothing we can say.

Oh Christ, who died?

- No one. - Bob's wife.

- He's married?! - Oh, God.

That rat bastard!

- That rat bastard! - Pile of sh...

You want me to go over there and handle this, you want me to handle that sonofabitch?

I knew it, I knew it, that hairline, the creative type, it's a given.

- You don't know what you're talking about. - I swear, I will kick his ass!

- I will kick the shit out of him! - Please! Stop it!

- Quit pushin' me! - I'm gonna push you!

Grace, what's goin' on here, you want me to handle it?

I'll kick the shit out of him for you, Grace. Son of a bitch!

- What!?! Joe, please, Grace has Bob's dead wife's heart.

He's not married?

Oh.

Okay.

- You want some ice cream? - Yeah.

You want somethin', Hon? Grace?

I called over to Fabrizio.

- He'll pick you up in Rome. - Okay.

I can't go over there myself until the fall,

because Angelo and Sophie, they need my help in the busy summer season.

I know, Grandpa.

I guess... you could go without me.

Grandpa...

I think it's for the best.

It'll be easier for Bob if I'm gone.

It's only you I'm concerned about.

Once I tell him... I'm gonna want to go away.

- Hey, Marty! - Hey, Robert!

Hey, Gracie.

Gracie, close your eyes and don't open 'em until I tell you to open 'em, okay?

Now, listen...

It's the character that's the strongest that God gives the most challenges to.

Now, you can take that as a compliment!

Your eyes closed?

Yup.

Keep 'em closed now.

No peekin'.

Come on, put your hand over your eyes. I can't tell. There ya go.

Hold on, keep 'em closed.

Open! Pah-pah-boo!

A bike.

- You haven't even opened it yet! - You bought me a bike.

- With a basket. - Yeah.

I got it at Rudy's down on Addison, he specializes in restoring the vintage bikes.

This one had your name all over it.

I think she likes it!

Are you okay?

I was worried about you last night.

I'm goin' away.

What?

- I'm goin' away. - Why?

I should have told you... somethin' I...

I di... I didn't have the courage to tell ya.

A little over a year ago I had surgery.

I had a heart transplant.

Oh, my God! I thought you were going to say you were a man or somethin'.

- Wait, am I hurting you? - No.

You're okay now. You're fine. You're healed.

You could have told me that.

I should have told ya, I know. I'm real... really sorry I didn't, but I...

When I, uh...

I found this, I found this in your house.

That's me.

I'm goin' away tonight, um... so you won't be reminded.

I... I didn't know, I didn't know that...

I swear to God I didn't know.

And I'm so sorry, I wanted to say I'm sorry.

I... I gotta go.

- I'm sorry, I gotta go, ya know. - Okay.

I gotta...

- ...walk. - Okay.

Ah, you're not going to try to check that on to the aeroplane, are ya?

I wanna take it, Grandpa

- Marty, come on. Let her take it. - But I can bring it over when I go over.

Sweetie, I did check the machine again. Still no call from him.

Oh, well, now you better stay.

Marty, sometimes you gotta run away to see if somebody's gonna follow.

I've told her I'm going to follow her but I can't get over until the fall.

Oh, Jesus!

- Are you sure he knows you're leaving? - Yeah. I told him I was going away.

Here's a little snack, Honey. I love you so much.

Sweetheart.

Pray in Rome. God'll hear you better.

Oh, I hate to say goodbye to you.

Hey, I got it!

Oh, well...

Away you go.

Yeah.

Okay.

- Bye, you guys. - Bye, Sweetie.

Bye, darlin'.

Bye.

Hey, Charlie, it's me.

I need to talk to someone.

Not... no, not over the phone.

Can you meet me?

Yeah, 12:30's fine.

Thanks, thank you.

The inspector's here, drink up.

Scusa, you like?

Oh, no, thank you.

Maybe... it help you paint?

Oh, it...

No, I was going to go home now, to... a casa.

Thank you, though, thanks.

He is married?

It's a long story.

I take my break now.

Wow!

Yeah.

Wow!

Yeah.

Mamma mia.

Si.

- Who's takin' me? - All right.

No, no, Marty, I'll get it.

All right, 'night, Boys.

Good night, Sophie, dear, see ya tomorrow.

- Take care, Wally. - Yep.

Oh, Dear, oh, Dear.

- What? - The door.

Oh, sure.

What a guy!

Wally! It's Bob!

- What... what are ya doin'? - What's goin' on?

- That was a short ride. - I'm in.

- But we're not even playin'. - Shhh!

- She's not here. - How you been?

- Ya hungry, I'll make you a plate of pasta? - No, no thanks, Angelo.

- She left? - Oh, aye, it's two days now.

- I've been thinkin'... - Oh, you would be...

- The dedication's next week. - Yes.

And, uh... it means so much to me.

And to Elizabeth.

- Sure. - Well, you've been workin' like a dog!

I miss Elizabeth.

I'll always miss her.

But I, uh...

I ache for Grace.

And I don't know if I can...

- I don't know if she... - She can!

Shh!

Here, Bob.

Come along with me a moment.

They'll be fine.

Angelo, s'down!

Stay loose, Baby, stay loose.

Only Gracie can tell you the name of every flower in this garden.

I know no more than one or two of them myself.

What's happening?

- Oh, he's got him in a choke hold, holy shit! - Oh, my God!

- Marty, don't do it! - What are you talking about?

Now, Robert... This is none of my business.

I know that what's happened has been... overwhelming.

I know it's going to take you a good while to sort it all out.

But while you're sorting, I want you to remember that in all the times

I prayed that Gracie would have a second chance at life,

I always knew that if God blessed us

the heart she got would have to be from

a very special person

if it were going to be at home in Grace.

When she met you

her heart beat truly for the first time.

Perhaps it was meant to be with you always.

Oh! What a beautiful bicycle!

Is it yours?

- It's mine, yes. - It's beautiful!

Ah! Every time you ring the bell angels sprout wings!

Would you like to ride it?

- Yes, yes, try it!. - No, no.

- Try it! - Yes, here.

- Oh, no, no. - Yes, yes!

Try it!

Just one time...

She'll be back, don't worry, she'll be back.

Yes, she liked the bicycle so much. It was a love...

Your sweetheart?

Yes!

You came all the way to Italy?

I did.

I came all the way to Italy.

I love you, Grace.

A lot of you have come up to me today

because you recognize me from my photo that's up in the monkey house.

But my sizeable donations down through the years

is not what we're here to talk about.

Ladies and gentlemen, Bob Rueland!

Thank you, Mr. Bennington, for that introduction and for your generous contribution.

I would like to thank everyone who so generously contributed their time and energy.

My incredibly dedicated crew, sitting right there.

And supervising veterinarian, my good, my dear friend, Dr. Charles Johnson.

Hey, Charlie!

He apparently will be signing autographs after the ceremony.

The dedication of this new home for Sydney and his family

holds great personal meaning for me.

My late wife Elizabeth spent many years with Sydney.

She taught him... so many things. She... she envisioned this for him.

She taught him sign language. She introduced him to his wife.

But more importantly,

it was her uncompromising passion that brings us here together today.

So it is with great honor

that I dedicate this new habitat

in loving memory of Elizabeth Rueland.

Will everybody clear the dance floor

so that the bride and groom may have the first dance.
