1. Ma, how could you be going
through a midlife crisis?
Copy !req
2. What are you gonna do, live to 130?
Copy !req
3. Enough already with getting a job.
Copy !req
4. Ma, the bakery didn't fire you
because you're a woman.
Copy !req
5. They fired you because you ate like a pig.
Copy !req
6. Now she's insulted.
Copy !req
7. Maggie, don't forget.
Copy !req
8. You have an appointment with Mr. Anthony
at the Chatterbox
Copy !req
9. to get your hair done this afternoon.
Copy !req
10. Is he really good?
Copy !req
11. All the girls at Hayley's Sweet 16
are just gonna hate your guts.
Copy !req
12. I love you, Fran.
Copy !req
13. Really, Miss Fine,
Copy !req
14. is a Sweet 16 party just about
making your friends hate your guts?
Copy !req
15. - Yes.
- Yes.
Copy !req
16. Hello, hello.
Copy !req
17. C.C., tell me,
did you have one of these Sweet 16s?
Copy !req
18. Please, all those little snot-noses
trying to out-do each other.
Copy !req
19. I didn't want one.
Copy !req
20. - No friends?
- None.
Copy !req
21. Niles, my eggs are all dried up.
Copy !req
22. The gene pool is saved.
Copy !req
23. She was working in a bridal shop
In Flushing, Queens
Copy !req
24. 'Til her boyfriend kicked her out
In one of those crushing scenes
Copy !req
25. What was she to do, where was she to go?
She was out on her fanny
Copy !req
26. So, over the bridge from Flushing
To the Sheffield's door
Copy !req
27. She was there to sell makeup
But the father saw more
Copy !req
28. She had style, she had flair
She was there
Copy !req
29. That's how she became the Nanny
Copy !req
30. Who would have guessed
That the girl we described
Copy !req
31. Was just exactly
What the doctor prescribed?
Copy !req
32. - Now the father finds her beguiling
- Watch out, C.C.
Copy !req
33. - And the kids are actually smiling
- Such joie de vivre!
Copy !req
34. She's the lady in red
When everybody else is wearing tan
Copy !req
35. The flashy girl from Flushing
The Nanny named Fran
Copy !req
36. Well, fasten your seat belts, kids.
We're about to enter the silicone valley.
Copy !req
37. - What are all these women doing here?
- Your father's holding auditions.
Copy !req
38. I told him not to cast this role
until after school.
Copy !req
39. If they've danced already,
there's going to be hell to pay.
Copy !req
40. Come on, Maggie, we gotta go
to the Chatterbox to get your hair done.
Copy !req
41. Let me go change out of my uniform.
Copy !req
42. All right, but hurry up, because nobody
has ever kept Mr. Anthony waiting.
Copy !req
43. Except Susan Powter. Need I say more?
Copy !req
44. Excuse me, can you break a 20?
Copy !req
45. The cab driver's holding onto it
till I can get—
Copy !req
46. Change.
Copy !req
47. Well, it doesn't matter.
This part is mine.
Copy !req
48. Blue is my lucky color.
Look, the entire house is done in blue.
Copy !req
49. Honey, honey.
Copy !req
50. Bummer.
Copy !req
51. Well, it still doesn't matter.
What do they have that I don't have?
Copy !req
52. These are prescription, right?
Copy !req
53. Are you here for the
"tall, voluptuous showgirl, 18 to 25?"
Copy !req
54. Your eyes are fine.
Copy !req
55. No, I'm not auditioning.
Copy !req
56. So, you must be one of the producers.
Copy !req
57. Better. The nanny.
Copy !req
58. Let me look at your résumé.
Maybe I can give you a few pointers.
Copy !req
59. "Mary Ruth." Well, that's gotta go.
Copy !req
60. - You need more experience.
- I don't have any.
Copy !req
61. I'll take care of that.
Copy !req
62. 'Cause, you know, Mr. Sheffield only hires
the most accomplished actresses.
Copy !req
63. Now, is Baywatch one word or two?
Copy !req
64. My stomach is in knots.
Copy !req
65. My acting teacher always says
when you get nervous,
Copy !req
66. just imagine all the people
you're auditioning for are naked.
Copy !req
67. Well, picture her.
Because, I've seen him, and trust me,
Copy !req
68. that's not gonna calm you down.
Copy !req
69. - Thank you, Babe.
- Shall I leave a pic... ture?
Copy !req
70. Wow, that went so much better
than my last audition.
Copy !req
71. Honey, how much are you paying
this acting teacher?
Copy !req
72. Nothing. We were living together, until he
threw me out for an actress with more...
Copy !req
73. talent.
Copy !req
74. So, now I have no place to live, no job,
nowhere to go, and no means of support.
Copy !req
75. But I can't complain.
Copy !req
76. You're not Jewish, are you?
Copy !req
77. Listen, I'm on my way
to the Chatterbox salon,
Copy !req
78. and someone told me that
they need a new shampoo girl.
Copy !req
79. Well, that sounds perfect.
Copy !req
80. Let me see your résumé.
Copy !req
81. 'Cause, you know, Mr. Anthony only hires
people from the most exclusive salons.
Copy !req
82. Now, is Supercuts one word or two?
Copy !req
83. Chatterbox, Claude speaking.
Copy !req
84. What do you mean, she's canceling
her four o' clock with Mr. Anthony?
Copy !req
85. You can't cancel on Mr. Anthony
without a 48-hour notice.
Copy !req
86. Well, when did she die?
Copy !req
87. Hello?
Copy !req
88. What's new pussycat?
Copy !req
89. What's new pussycat?
Copy !req
90. Come over here.
Copy !req
91. I'm very satisfied.
Copy !req
92. Ma, what do you think you're doing?
Copy !req
93. It's my turn to tip.
Copy !req
94. Don't worry, Sylvia.
I still got plenty of room on this side.
Copy !req
95. Mr. Anthony, I'm a married woman.
Copy !req
96. Come here.
Copy !req
97. Like a ripe cantaloupe.
Copy !req
98. You bruise it, you bought it.
Copy !req
99. Now remember what I told you.
When I introduce you to Mr. Anthony,
Copy !req
100. picture him naked.
Copy !req
101. - But I'm not nervous.
- So what?
Copy !req
102. Mr. Anthony, your 3:30 is here.
Copy !req
103. Hey, Franny.
Copy !req
104. Look at that body, look at that shape.
Copy !req
105. Mr. Anthony.
Copy !req
106. No one conditions like you.
Copy !req
107. - Thanks. This is Maggie.
- Hi.
Copy !req
108. She's invited to her first Sweet 16 party.
Copy !req
109. You're 16, you're beautiful,
and you're mine.
Copy !req
110. I made that up.
Copy !req
111. So would you like to slip into
something a little more comfortable?
Copy !req
112. Okay.
Copy !req
113. Claude will get you a smock.
Copy !req
114. You know, Claude has styled
a lot of celebrities.
Copy !req
115. He's the one that told Jerry Lewis,
"more oil."
Copy !req
116. A natural blonde.
Well, now there's two of us.
Copy !req
117. Honey, come here. Come here.
Copy !req
118. Mr. Anthony, this is Mary Ruth,
your new shampoo girl.
Copy !req
119. Not so fast.
I just don't hire anyone off the street.
Copy !req
120. Let me see your résumé.
Copy !req
121. Supercuts.
Copy !req
122. What are you staring at?
Copy !req
123. Nothing. I was just picture you nake—
Copy !req
124. Before we start, I think it's only fair
to warn you, that I am first and foremost,
Copy !req
125. an actress.
Copy !req
126. And at any moment,
I may get a lead on Broadway.
Copy !req
127. Or Merv Griffin could call
and want a gameshow hostess.
Copy !req
128. It could happen quickly. In show business,
they needed you yesterday.
Copy !req
129. - Do you sweep?
- Yes.
Copy !req
130. - You're hired.
- Bless you, Mr. Anthony.
Copy !req
131. You know, Yetta, Maggie is going
to a Sweet 16, at the Statue of Liberty.
Copy !req
132. Big deal, I had mine on Ellis Island.
Copy !req
133. So many people came.
Copy !req
134. Yetta, you were in quarantine.
Copy !req
135. I thought it went on a little long.
Copy !req
136. Okay, Sylvia. You're all done.
Copy !req
137. Thank you, Kim.
Copy !req
138. How long should I wait before I eat?
Copy !req
139. About four years.
Copy !req
140. I tell you, I'm gonna love working here.
Copy !req
141. What do you mean?
Copy !req
142. I took a really good interview
with Mr. Anthony.
Copy !req
143. You're the one that told me
Copy !req
144. Mr. Anthony was looking
for a new shampoo girl.
Copy !req
145. - Yeah. Why?
- Nothing.
Copy !req
146. I am practically a shoe-in.
Copy !req
147. The only other person
who applied is Estelle.
Copy !req
148. But he wants somebody young.
Copy !req
149. You know, Ma, I don't think
it's such a good idea you working here,
Copy !req
150. and handling all those
permanent wave fumes.
Copy !req
151. I love them fumes. Gives me a nice buzz.
Copy !req
152. Besides, Ma, Daddy doesn't want you
to work. Who's gonna feed him lunch?
Copy !req
153. What? He can't add water
to the Top Ramen himself?
Copy !req
154. Yeah, but if you're not there to stop him,
he's just gonna keep eating.
Copy !req
155. Remember Uncle Aaron,
may he rest in peace?
Copy !req
156. He exploded, that Hanukkah.
Copy !req
157. The doctor said it was a freak occurrence.
Copy !req
158. You can't eat 32 latkes
and sit that close to a menorah.
Copy !req
159. Meanwhile, where was Aunt Polly?
Copy !req
160. At work.
Copy !req
161. You're right. I'm being selfish.
Copy !req
162. I have to sacrifice my career for my man.
Copy !req
163. Ma, you're doing the right thing.
Copy !req
164. Thank you, Fran.
I got the job with Mr. Anthony.
Copy !req
165. Ma, stop pinching me!
Copy !req
166. This is my best nail I ever paint.
Copy !req
167. This is my country.
Copy !req
168. That's my sister.
Copy !req
169. That's her husband.
Copy !req
170. And that's the cat.
Copy !req
171. It's amazing you can paint
with so much detail.
Copy !req
172. Meanwhile, I'm going blind.
Copy !req
173. - What was that?
- Calm down. Just bikini wax.
Copy !req
174. Might as well face it
You're addicted to love
Copy !req
175. Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Your mind
Copy !req
176. Meanwhile, what you staring at?
Like I don't know.
Copy !req
177. Please, he's not my type.
Copy !req
178. I don't go for that dark wavy hair,
blue eyes...
Copy !req
179. - what is that, a 30 inch waist?
- Twenty-nine. Long.
Copy !req
180. So, how was your first day?
Copy !req
181. Long. Hard. Good!
Copy !req
182. Bye.
Copy !req
183. - Did you sweep?
- Yes.
Copy !req
184. Good. Then you can go home.
Copy !req
185. Great.
Copy !req
186. Do you know a nice hotel around here,
or maybe a shelter?
Copy !req
187. - I don't really know Queens.
- Well, now you know one. Charmed.
Copy !req
188. Well, I'll tell you what,
Copy !req
189. until you get back on your feet,
you can stay in the back room.
Copy !req
190. It's not really fit for a human being.
Copy !req
191. When my mother comes,
you've gotta get out.
Copy !req
192. Thank you, Mr. Anthony.
Copy !req
193. Kim, he's so sweet.
He's letting me stay in the back room.
Copy !req
194. Good. It was going to be employee lounge,
but this much better. You deserve it.
Copy !req
195. Yeah? Well, come over here and say that.
Copy !req
196. Jeez, it was just an expression.
Copy !req
197. Come meet new shampoo girl, Mary Ruth.
Copy !req
198. Mary Ruth,
this is Mr. Anthony's son, Mimo.
Copy !req
199. - I didn't know Mr. Anthony had a son.
- Sure.
Copy !req
200. This is Mimo's class picture.
Copy !req
201. Only one without a tie.
Copy !req
202. Excuse me. I couldn't help but notice
Copy !req
203. that you have a little blood
gushing out of the side of your head.
Copy !req
204. Look, lady. I'm 13, I live in New York,
and my father owns a beauty parlor.
Copy !req
205. This is not an uncommon thing.
Copy !req
206. - You poor kid.
- Lady, I'm all right, really.
Copy !req
207. - Well, let me take care of that for you.
- Okay.
Copy !req
208. You know, the head bleeds the most.
Copy !req
209. It's something about the capillaries
being close to the—
Copy !req
210. I'm getting a little queasy.
I'm not that good with blood.
Copy !req
211. Mimo? Swear you won't
let my dress fall over my head.
Copy !req
212. Well, she fits in perfectly.
Another Froot Loop for the bowl.
Copy !req
213. Mimo, who were you fighting with?
Was it that Glen Chamoff bully again?
Copy !req
214. I have a good mind
to teach that boy a lesson.
Copy !req
215. If he wasn't so big for his age.
Copy !req
216. Hey, you be nice.
His mother good customer, nice lady.
Copy !req
217. I see her tomorrow.
Copy !req
218. I'll give her fungus.
Copy !req
219. There's gotta be a Band-Aid
around here somewhere.
Copy !req
220. No, just stay out of there. It's private.
Just stay out of there.
Copy !req
221. I'm not interested in anything
in this drawer, except for a Band-Aid.
Copy !req
222. What's this?
Copy !req
223. Give me that.
Copy !req
224. Okay. I'm sorry.
I'll mind my own business.
Copy !req
225. - That's Mimo's mother.
- Really?
Copy !req
226. She's very pretty.
Copy !req
227. Someone should fix the glass
and put her out.
Copy !req
228. Please. That'll happen the day
the NFL asks me to play tight end.
Copy !req
229. She break Mr. Anthony's heart.
Copy !req
230. And when she left him,
he punch out the glass.
Copy !req
231. Not to mention the mailbox,
the dumpster...
Copy !req
232. - Sister Mary Margaret.
- Well, that was an accident.
Copy !req
233. She went down like a ton of bricks.
Copy !req
234. Not unusual to be loved by anyone
Copy !req
235. It's not unusual to have fun with anyone
Copy !req
236. But when I see you I can do— Wait—
Copy !req
237. Where did you get that?
Copy !req
238. Out of the drawer.
Copy !req
239. Mimo?
Copy !req
240. Hey, it's a junk drawer.
I don't know how it got in there.
Copy !req
241. Mimo?
Copy !req
242. Hey, this isn't Les Misérables.
Get back to work.
Copy !req
243. You know, it's so obvious
what's going on here.
Copy !req
244. - Yeah. You're about to get fired.
- No, no, no.
Copy !req
245. All these years you have been hating her,
he has been missing her.
Copy !req
246. I'm guessing you're one of those girls
that's got a real urge
Copy !req
247. to reach out to people?
Copy !req
248. - Yep.
- Fight that.
Copy !req
249. Now, let's put this back where it belongs.
Copy !req
250. I should have hired Sylvia.
Copy !req
251. I would have gotten
some peace and quiet around here.
Copy !req
252. My own daughter betrayed me.
Now I know how Nancy Reagan felt.
Copy !req
253. Ma, I'm sorry.
What can I do to make it up to you?
Copy !req
254. Marry Mr. Sheffield.
Copy !req
255. Ma, you're insane. It's a good thing
I take after Grandma Yetta. Oy.
Copy !req
256. I have no career.
Copy !req
257. All my life,
I've been somebody's daughter.
Copy !req
258. Somebody's wife, somebody's mother.
Copy !req
259. Who the hell am I?
Copy !req
260. - Miss Fine.
- Next.
Copy !req
261. I was strolling along Lexington Avenue
with my lawyer,
Copy !req
262. when he nudges me to check out the,
and I quote, "hot brunette."
Copy !req
263. That's impossible. I was on Fifth.
Copy !req
264. Not you, Miss Fine.
Copy !req
265. My 15-year-old daughter's
wearing a wig that makes her look 25.
Copy !req
266. Twenty-five? Cool.
Copy !req
267. Hey, do I look old enough
to get into a club?
Copy !req
268. Sure. And we haven't
even put the lashes on yet.
Copy !req
269. Which we're not going to do,
because you're just a little girl.
Copy !req
270. Now, get upstairs, and make your daddy
a cupcake in your Easy-Bake Oven.
Copy !req
271. Miss Fine, whatever possessed you?
Copy !req
272. Well, every girl
should experiment with her look.
Copy !req
273. When I was her age,
I dyed my hair red just like Rula Lenska.
Copy !req
274. Within two days I was—
Copy !req
275. That wig is definitely going back.
Copy !req
276. Don't you worry. They'll give us
a full refund at the Chatterbox.
Copy !req
277. I'm like family there.
Copy !req
278. Fran who?
Copy !req
279. Nope. No returns. No refunds.
Copy !req
280. Sorry, dear, tears don't work on me.
Copy !req
281. Neither does that.
Copy !req
282. Well, that might work if I close my eyes.
Copy !req
283. Hey, watch it. You're drowning me.
Copy !req
284. You never washed
someone else's hair before?
Copy !req
285. - Actually, this was my first time.
- Then you're pretty good.
Copy !req
286. Hey, Claude, give me some big hair.
I got my nephew's bar mitzvah tomorrow.
Copy !req
287. I really want to pop.
Copy !req
288. - You're Jewish?
- Nope. I married one.
Copy !req
289. They make good husband.
No cheat, no drink.
Copy !req
290. And every Sunday night,
he in the mood for Chinese.
Copy !req
291. Look what I did for Mimo.
Copy !req
292. You take picture of mother
out of garbage and fix it.
Copy !req
293. Very good.
Copy !req
294. We got employee lounge back.
Copy !req
295. Poor Mr. Anthony. All that anger
is just because he's lonely.
Copy !req
296. - Sure, he tries to hide it.
- Yes.
Copy !req
297. Tonight he's hiding it with Bernice.
Copy !req
298. He's seeing someone?
Well, you know what they say.
Copy !req
299. All the good ones are either married,
or seeing someone or—
Copy !req
300. I think it's just
those two things they say.
Copy !req
301. So, what's she like?
Copy !req
302. Who, Bernice?
She very smart girl. Two brains.
Copy !req
303. See, now, that is classic.
Copy !req
304. He's avoiding a serious relationship,
because he doesn't want to get hurt again.
Copy !req
305. I wonder how much
a pair of brains like that cost.
Copy !req
306. My darling, if you want to work here,
let me give you a little advice.
Copy !req
307. Stay out of Mr. Anthony's private life.
Copy !req
308. Look, I am not afraid of Mr. Anthony.
Copy !req
309. He has got to start putting
his son's needs ahead of his own.
Copy !req
310. And I will tell him that,
right to his face.
Copy !req
311. What's that?
Copy !req
312. Pier 1 is having a two-for-one frame sale,
Copy !req
313. and I thought Mimo would like
the frame of equal or lesser value.
Copy !req
314. You know...
Copy !req
315. when you alphabetized my styling mousses,
I said, "All right, she's eager."
Copy !req
316. When you convinced Mrs. Wilk
to cut her hair short
Copy !req
317. so she wouldn't have to come back for six
months, I said, "All right, she's stupid."
Copy !req
318. But when you interfere in my personal
life, against direct orders,
Copy !req
319. I say, all right, she's fired.
Copy !req
320. You know...
Copy !req
321. when a guy punches out a picture of
his wife, I say, all right, he's in pain.
Copy !req
322. When he throws that picture into the
trash, I say, all right, he's in denial.
Copy !req
323. But when he fires the one person
Copy !req
324. who is just trying to bring him
and his son closer together, I say,
Copy !req
325. please don't fire me, Mr. Anthony.
Copy !req
326. How many times do I have to tell you?
Nobody wants this picture.
Copy !req
327. I do.
Copy !req
328. See? I told you.
Copy !req
329. And close. This is none of your business.
Copy !req
330. And if you're gonna pretend
to cut her hair,
Copy !req
331. would you at least
put some scissors in your hand?
Copy !req
332. Mimo, what do you need this picture for?
Copy !req
333. I dunno. Just in case she came back,
I guess I'd know what she looked like.
Copy !req
334. Then you should keep it,
because she's your mother.
Copy !req
335. Do you mind? I know how to talk to my kid.
Copy !req
336. Then you should keep it,
'cause she was your mother.
Copy !req
337. And just for the record,
Copy !req
338. she walked out on me, not you.
Copy !req
339. This is a real Kodak moment.
Copy !req
340. Okay, smile.
Copy !req
341. There, now you look
like my little girl again.
Copy !req
342. I'm not going.
Copy !req
343. No guys will be the least bit
interested in me.
Copy !req
344. Good. Then you'll have no problem
being home by ten.
Copy !req
345. Come on, Margaret.
