1. Gracie, I think it's so sweet that
you're writing the president a letter.
Copy !req
2. I mean, he really needs some cheering up.
Copy !req
3. First, he loses the House
and the Senate...
Copy !req
4. then he jogs to McDonald's and finds out
a McLean has ten grams of fat.
Copy !req
5. Ten? What about those Chicken McNuggets?
Copy !req
6. Niles, so that's how you got those
McLove handles.
Copy !req
7. Fran, I don't know what's right.
Copy !req
8. What's the right way to address
the man who runs our entire country?
Copy !req
9. Dear Newt?
Copy !req
10. Don't be so smart, you.
Copy !req
11. B, you're a good writer.
Go help your sister.
Copy !req
12. - If it's a nice letter, forget it.
- Why? What are you? A Republican?
Copy !req
13. - I've got a trust fund. I'm no boob.
- Go.
Copy !req
14. Maxwell, if he wants the damn play,
let him have it.
Copy !req
15. - It isn't even finished.
- Who?
Copy !req
16. Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Copy !req
17. Look, C.C., I found this play first.
Copy !req
18. I want to produce it.
Just once, I want to be on top.
Copy !req
19. I want you on top too, Maxwell.
Copy !req
20. You're just not going to win.
You might as well give up.
Copy !req
21. C'est la vie.
Copy !req
22. "La vie."
Copy !req
23. Why shouldn't he try for it?
His shows are just as good.
Copy !req
24. As good as Phantom of the Opera?
Copy !req
25. Maxwell, for your own good, give up.
It's a futile fight.
Copy !req
26. For God's sake, I know when I'm licked.
Copy !req
27. Just give me a minute to get
that image out of my head.
Copy !req
28. Nope, nope. Gonna have to live with it.
Copy !req
29. It is reassuring to know
that if anything happens to me...
Copy !req
30. you're here to continue my work.
Copy !req
31. Well, maybe she's right.
Copy !req
32. I should just withdraw the offer.
Copy !req
33. That way it won't look like
I've lost to him again.
Copy !req
34. Lost? You haven't even begun to fight.
Copy !req
35. Mr. Sheffield, the only thing
that Andrew Lloyd Webber has
Copy !req
36. that you don't is a middle name.
Copy !req
37. - I've got a middle name.
- Well, there you are. What is it?
Copy !req
38. - Beverly.
- Moving on.
Copy !req
39. Okay. Here's something else
that you have that he doesn't.
Copy !req
40. - Yeah? What's that, Ms. Fine?
- Me. Right, Niles?
Copy !req
41. What about a Whopper?
Copy !req
42. She was working in a bridal shop
In Flushing, Queens
Copy !req
43. 'Til her boyfriend kicked her out
In one of those crushing scenes
Copy !req
44. What was she to do, where was she to go?
She was out on her fanny
Copy !req
45. So over the bridge from Flushing
To the Sheffields' door
Copy !req
46. She was there to sell makeup
But the father saw more
Copy !req
47. She had style, she had flair
She was there
Copy !req
48. That's how she became the Nanny
Copy !req
49. Who would have guessed
That the girl we described
Copy !req
50. Was just exactly
What the doctor prescribed?
Copy !req
51. - Now the father finds her beguiling
- Watch out, C.C.
Copy !req
52. - And the kids are actually smiling
- Such joie de vivre!
Copy !req
53. She's the lady in red
When everybody else is wearing tan
Copy !req
54. The flashy girl from Flushing
The Nanny named Fran
Copy !req
55. Fran, you know, Clifford,
that geek at my school?
Copy !req
56. Honey, you know, he's not such a geek.
Copy !req
57. Not everyone can pull off
mittens clipped to their sleeves.
Copy !req
58. - Well, he offered to help me on my PSAT's.
- Yeah?
Copy !req
59. But I can't be seen with him.
Copy !req
60. Sweetie, it's the '90s.
Le geek, c'est chic.
Copy !req
61. See, here's the progression:
pocket protector...
Copy !req
62. software genius, compound in Malibu.
Copy !req
63. Listen to me. You'll be smart.
Copy !req
64. Meanwhile, I'm a maid.
Copy !req
65. It's all set.
I'm taking the playwright to dinner.
Copy !req
66. I happen to know he fancies himself
as a bit of a ladies' man,
Copy !req
67. so I thought maybe
I'd set him up with Cindy.
Copy !req
68. Nothing like a supermodel on the rebound.
Copy !req
69. Now, you see, Mr. Sheffield?
Copy !req
70. That's why you're wearing
Donna Karan and I'm wearing—
Copy !req
71. Actually, I'm wear Donna Karan too
but they cut the label out.
Copy !req
72. So, what's this guy like?
Copy !req
73. Dakota Williams?
He's an elderly Southern gentleman.
Copy !req
74. You know, a real man's man,
drinking, chain-smoking, plain-talking.
Copy !req
75. Gee, and you want to fix him up
with Cindy Crawford.
Copy !req
76. I don't know. From Richard Gere
to Yosemite Sam?
Copy !req
77. You know what? Leave everything to me.
I have just the gal for you.
Copy !req
78. Cheap, foul-mouthed,
finds secondhand smoke a big turn on.
Copy !req
79. Ms. Fine, you wouldn't want
to go out with him.
Copy !req
80. I didn't mean me.
Copy !req
81. I hate smoke.
Copy !req
82. You think you can convince
your friend to go out with him?
Copy !req
83. I don't know. She's gotta be willing
to have cocktails in a mansion,
Copy !req
84. dinner at a five-star restaurant
and ride around all night in a limo
Copy !req
85. with some famous guy
who's too old to jump her.
Copy !req
86. Gonna be tough.
Copy !req
87. Niles, you must be particularly
attentive to Mr. Williams this evening.
Copy !req
88. I want his visit here
to be first-class in every way.
Copy !req
89. Yeah, Niles, stay on your toes.
Copy !req
90. Oh, my toes.
Copy !req
91. There you are, Ms. Fine. Now guess what.
Copy !req
92. After dinner, I've chartered a boat
to take us around Manhattan
Copy !req
93. with a Cajun blues band
I've flown in from New Orleans.
Copy !req
94. Mr. Sheffield,
now you're showing some gumbos.
Copy !req
95. He's here.
Copy !req
96. Nanny Fine, take a powder.
Copy !req
97. Now, now, C.C.,
if it weren't for Ms. Fine,
Copy !req
98. we wouldn't be entertaining
a Pulitzer Prize winner here this evening.
Copy !req
99. Pulitzer Clearing House?
How much did he win?
Copy !req
100. Ms. Fine, take a powder.
Copy !req
101. Mr. Dakota Williams.
Copy !req
102. I'm just Dak to you all.
Copy !req
103. - Welcome.
- I do not stand on ceremony.
Copy !req
104. And just to prove it,
I'll drink anything you got.
Copy !req
105. - As long as it's sour mash whiskey.
- We got that, all right.
Copy !req
106. - Don't we, Niles?
- What are you, nuts? Sir...
Copy !req
107. I'm C.C. Babcock, Mr. Williams.
Copy !req
108. Your plays are so profound.
Copy !req
109. Where do you get your inspiration?
Copy !req
110. Give me an uptight alcoholic spinster,
and I'll give you a play.
Copy !req
111. Sugar, sugar, sugar.
Copy !req
112. Little darling, who are you?
Copy !req
113. Hi, I'm Fran Fine.
Copy !req
114. I was the lead in one of your plays
in high school.
Copy !req
115. Because of my accent,
everyone thought I was from the South.
Copy !req
116. It must have been an amazing production.
Copy !req
117. When I played the death scene
with "My Mammy":
Copy !req
118. "How I loved her, how I loved her."
Copy !req
119. Anyway, there wasn't a dry eye
in Flushing.
Copy !req
120. Flushing? Like a toilet?
Copy !req
121. On a good day.
Copy !req
122. Sheffield, this is one saucy woman.
Copy !req
123. We gonna get along like two
June bugs on a summer picnic.
Copy !req
124. Well, actually—
Actually, she's not your date.
Copy !req
125. No.
Copy !req
126. Your date's even cruder.
Copy !req
127. Yes, much.
Copy !req
128. - I'll get that.
- Me too.
Copy !req
129. Ms. Fine, I can taste victory already.
Copy !req
130. And it's all you. I have you to thank.
Copy !req
131. You ain't seen nothing yet. Wait till you
get a load of the chick I fixed him with.
Copy !req
132. I'm sorry I'm late.
Copy !req
133. I had to dig up a brassiere
that hooks in the front.
Copy !req
134. What? No good?
Copy !req
135. Are you out of your bloody mind?
Copy !req
136. Look who's here, Bob's Big Boy.
Copy !req
137. Ms. Fine...
Copy !req
138. you fixed up America's foremost
living playwright with a woman
Copy !req
139. whose greatest attribute is making rice
that doesn't stick together?
Copy !req
140. He was smiling when he met her.
Copy !req
141. - He's drunk out of his mind.
- All right. She's on painkillers.
Copy !req
142. Maybe neither of them will realize
they're together.
Copy !req
143. Ms. Fine, Ms. Fine.
Copy !req
144. - Haven't I been good to you?
- Yes, you have.
Copy !req
145. - Gave you a job when you needed one?
- Yes, you did.
Copy !req
146. All the Slim-Fast bars you could eat?
Copy !req
147. And how do you repay me?
Copy !req
148. I was just trying to be
the woman behind the man.
Copy !req
149. How would you like to be the woman
behind the Burger King counter?
Copy !req
150. The one on 57th Street is hiring.
Copy !req
151. You know, for a minute there
when I saw Yetta,
Copy !req
152. I thought that she was Dakota's date.
Copy !req
153. Let me tell her in lieu
of a Christmas bonus.
Copy !req
154. No!
Copy !req
155. It's your fault. Maxwell, let's kill her.
Copy !req
156. C.C., I prefer to do this
without any witnesses.
Copy !req
157. Niles.
Copy !req
158. Mr. Sheffield,
let me just tell you my thinking.
Copy !req
159. Andrew Lloyd Webber
would have never thought
Copy !req
160. to fix him up with someone
like Grandma Yetta!
Copy !req
161. Well, Nanny Fine finally dug a hole
deep enough to bury her and her hair.
Copy !req
162. Ms. Babcock,
you have a little something...
Copy !req
163. Well, give me that.
Copy !req
164. How do I look?
Copy !req
165. Yummy.
Copy !req
166. All right. Would you keep it down.
We've got company.
Copy !req
167. - C.C.?
- What?
Copy !req
168. What on earth happened to your face?
Copy !req
169. She cut herself shaving.
Copy !req
170. So, anyway, 30 years I'm thinking
Copy !req
171. it's a beauty mark.
Copy !req
172. Suddenly I wake up,
it's the size of Danny DeVito.
Copy !req
173. - Yetta!
- Yetta!
Copy !req
174. That's nothing.
Copy !req
175. I got something that looks like a gas cap
off a '64 Corvair
Copy !req
176. growing on my butt.
Copy !req
177. We believe you. We believe you.
Copy !req
178. I got something for you.
But first I gotta take off my girdle.
Copy !req
179. You little tease.
Copy !req
180. You're such a turn-on.
Copy !req
181. Did you hear that? Yetta, big turn-on!
Copy !req
182. Excuse me, Mr. Williams.
Copy !req
183. I know we could all go on
and on about Yetta.
Copy !req
184. Hell, she turns me on.
Copy !req
185. But why don't we see
if we can't work out a deal
Copy !req
186. before you're sober—
Supper, your supper.
Copy !req
187. Sheffield, is this how you do business?
Copy !req
188. Just show me where to sign.
Copy !req
189. Come on, honeysuckle.
Copy !req
190. It's all body language.
Copy !req
191. Watch the walk.
Copy !req
192. Ms. Fine, you never cease to amaze me.
Copy !req
193. Well, I don't know why you're so shocked.
Copy !req
194. I mean, you asked me to fix
the man up with someone.
Copy !req
195. I followed my instincts.
Copy !req
196. Simple, yet bonusworthy.
Copy !req
197. Ms. Fine, I could just kiss you.
Copy !req
198. Could have, should have,
would have, but didn't.
Copy !req
199. Stop it. You're embarrassing me.
Copy !req
200. He keeps calling me his right arm.
Copy !req
201. Ms. Fine, you have more lives
than Garfield.
Copy !req
202. Niles, lox, eggs and onions.
Copy !req
203. Yes. Grandma Yetta left
her breakfast order on the door knob
Copy !req
204. before she went to bed.
Copy !req
205. Well, when she sleeps over, she always
thinks she's at the Fountain Bleu.
Copy !req
206. If you want to make a buck,
Copy !req
207. tie your shirt into a calypso knot
and serve her a piña colada.
Copy !req
208. Ms. Fine.
Copy !req
209. Coming! I'm feeling a little short.
Time to get on my pedestal.
Copy !req
210. There she is.
Copy !req
211. - Who?
- My right arm.
Copy !req
212. Stop it. You're embarrassing me.
Copy !req
213. I'm sorry, Ms. Fine. I just can't help it.
Copy !req
214. I own Dakota Williams' next play.
Copy !req
215. I finally beat Andrew Lloyd Webber,
Copy !req
216. and it wouldn't have happened
if it weren't for you.
Copy !req
217. You did it all yourself.
Copy !req
218. I was merely your...
Copy !req
219. - Right arm.
- Stop it. You're em— It's you.
Copy !req
220. - Good morning.
- Good morning.
Copy !req
221. I'll have some of everything.
Copy !req
222. I'm on the American plan.
Copy !req
223. So, tell me, did the dinner last night
go well? You got home so late.
Copy !req
224. She was quite the little vixen.
Copy !req
225. Yetta, you didn't drop anything under
the table and go look for it, did you?
Copy !req
226. One time. Just to see if I still had it.
Copy !req
227. God, that was you?
Copy !req
228. That was you?
Copy !req
229. Do you two want to be alone?
Copy !req
230. Meanwhile...
Copy !req
231. Dak and I are a match made in heaven.
Copy !req
232. I like dark meat. He likes light.
Copy !req
233. I could hear the movie. He could see it.
Copy !req
234. I got a right lung. He's got a left.
Copy !req
235. But the best part is he's retired.
Copy !req
236. No, no, he's not retired yet, Yetta.
He's still got a play to finish.
Copy !req
237. Good luck. The man hasn't written
a word in 20 years.
Copy !req
238. Yetta, you're confused.
Mr. Sheffield just bought his play.
Copy !req
239. That's right.
The first act's on my desk right now.
Copy !req
240. Did you happen to notice it
was written with a quill pen?
Copy !req
241. What is she saying?
Copy !req
242. I'm saying, don't hold your breath
for the second act.
Copy !req
243. The man's got writer's blockage.
Copy !req
244. Oh, no. Oh, God.
Copy !req
245. Thank you for introducing us.
Copy !req
246. Most guys my age are senile.
Copy !req
247. I'll be in the gift shop.
Copy !req
248. All right. Let's— Let's recap.
Copy !req
249. I now own a play
that is totally worthless,
Copy !req
250. and Andrew Webber does not.
Copy !req
251. My right arm is strangely silent.
Copy !req
252. Did it have a stroke?
Copy !req
253. It's thinking.
Copy !req
254. Try and follow me for a minute here.
Copy !req
255. Why would Dak sign a deal with you
Copy !req
256. when he could have signed a deal with
Andrew Lloyd Webber?
Copy !req
257. - Because my plays are just as good.
- No, really.
Copy !req
258. It's because of Yetta.
Copy !req
259. You know, he might back out of the deal
if she dumps him.
Copy !req
260. Wait, wait, Ms. Fine, Dak is the most
exciting man Yetta's ever met.
Copy !req
261. I mean, what would possibly
make her leave him?
Copy !req
262. Well, she had her eye
on the couch in the lobby.
Copy !req
263. Yetta...
Copy !req
264. I hate when they don't put prices
on things.
Copy !req
265. Where do you start?
Copy !req
266. Look, Yetta, I know
you've grown very fond of Dak, but...
Copy !req
267. well, you should know
he drinks far too much.
Copy !req
268. He swears like a sailor, and, well,
frankly, he's a scoundrel with women.
Copy !req
269. Mr. Sheffield, are you trying
to talk her out of it or into it?
Copy !req
270. Let me handle this.
Copy !req
271. Yetta, you gotta break up with him.
Copy !req
272. Why? He's cute, and he's loaded.
Copy !req
273. If we got married,
someday this would all be yours.
Copy !req
274. What are we really doing here?
Copy !req
275. No, wait a minute. I can't do this.
Copy !req
276. I can't ask her to give up
her last chance for happiness
Copy !req
277. just so I can get out
of a bloody business deal.
Copy !req
278. Hold it. This was business?
Copy !req
279. I was just a cheap tawdry sex toy?
Copy !req
280. Why does this always happen to me?
Copy !req
281. I'm very sorry, Yetta.
Copy !req
282. Hey, I was there.
Copy !req
283. How could you not use me?
Copy !req
284. Business is important.
Copy !req
285. I myself am an "entremanure."
Copy !req
286. My family's going to have
to stop breeding.
Copy !req
287. Franny, let me talk
to your husband in private.
Copy !req
288. You wanna talk business, here's the deal.
Copy !req
289. I'll give up Dak if you quit
fooling around with the blond.
Copy !req
290. Shame on you!
Copy !req
291. Look what you got.
Copy !req
292. Mags, lighten up.
What's with the ongeblozn punim?
Copy !req
293. - Onge what?
- Sourpuss.
Copy !req
294. A face like that kept Molly Ringwald
from a film career as an adult.
Copy !req
295. Fran, the worst thing has happened.
Copy !req
296. The computer nerd asked me out.
Copy !req
297. So he's getting a little interactive.
Copy !req
298. Fran, I don't want to go out with him.
Copy !req
299. He'll wear that hat with those ear flaps.
Copy !req
300. Honey, let me impart some wisdom on you.
Copy !req
301. My mother always dressed
my father in leisure suits...
Copy !req
302. and no one has ever stolen him away.
Copy !req
303. Fran, you don't understand.
Copy !req
304. My best friend Whitney's going out
with a football player who is so studly.
Copy !req
305. All right, honey.
Let me just give you the progression here:
Copy !req
306. Star quarterback, pulled groin, beer gut,
Copy !req
307. "Can I check your oil, please?"
Copy !req
308. Maxwell, I'm coming in,
and I have terrible news.
Copy !req
309. Isn't that redundant?
Copy !req
310. C.C., nothing can spoil this perfect day.
Copy !req
311. Just about now, Andrew Lloyd Webber
is probably realizing
Copy !req
312. that he owns Dakota Williams'
long-awaited opus named
Copy !req
313. "You Better Like Act 1
Because There Ain't No Act 2."
Copy !req
314. I read, "Dakota Williams closes
a deal with Andrew Lloyd Webber
Copy !req
315. to produce his new play...
Copy !req
316. which he finished in one night."
Copy !req
317. Ms. Fine.
Copy !req
318. Are you doing the hokey-pokey
and you need your right-arm in?
Copy !req
319. I'd take it out
before he shakes it all about.
Copy !req
320. Webber stole our playwright.
Copy !req
321. Well, tell us something we don't know.
Copy !req
322. All right.
Copy !req
323. "The playwright was inspired
to complete the deeply personal project
Copy !req
324. by a recent bout of unrequited love.
Copy !req
325. In contrast to his usual heroine,
the pivotal character is an earthy,
Copy !req
326. elderly, Hebraic woman named Zetta."
Copy !req
327. Ever since I started working here,
I don't need a treadmill.
Copy !req
328. I have to get Ms. Grace.
Mr. Clinton's here.
Copy !req
329. Clinton? The president?
Copy !req
330. He knows Barbra Streisand.
Copy !req
331. This is so exciting. Who are you?
Copy !req
332. I'm Roger Clinton.
Copy !req
333. Do you know Streisand?
Copy !req
334. Well, I was at the inauguration,
but I had terrible seats.
Copy !req
335. Ms. Fine, you haven't been dismissed.
I haven't finished with you yet.
Copy !req
336. Not now, Mr. Sheffield. We have company.
Copy !req
337. Roger Clinton is here.
Copy !req
338. Why?
Copy !req
339. Well, your daughter wrote
my brother a letter.
Copy !req
340. And he was so touched by it,
Copy !req
341. he asked me to stop by
while I was in town.
Copy !req
342. - Where's the president?
- Honey, he couldn't make it.
Copy !req
343. But his brother came instead.
Copy !req
344. Isn't this exciting?
Copy !req
345. Honey, go get your camera.
Copy !req
346. - Why would I want a picture—?
- Go!
Copy !req
347. You know, Mr. Clinton,
Ms. Fine here is a great admirer
Copy !req
348. and supporter of your entire family.
Copy !req
349. Yes, I am.
Copy !req
