1. I hope Fran's okay. She's never been late
for breakfast.
Copy !req
2. I'm sure Miss Fine's all right.
Copy !req
3. It takes time for her to roll out of bed,
throw on a robe.
Copy !req
4. Well, and then there's
the slipper dilemma.
Copy !req
5. Fuzzy or formal
marabou-feather pom-pom?
Copy !req
6. Good morning, everyone.
Copy !req
7. Miss Fine,
why aren't you undressed?
Copy !req
8. You know, I've dreamt of you asking me
that question.
Copy !req
9. Only you guys weren't there.
Copy !req
10. But Niles was.
Copy !req
11. What that man could do
with a feather duster.
Copy !req
12. Don't ever let him go.
Copy !req
13. You guys already started breakfast?
Copy !req
14. Gee I was gonna suggest we all go out
to eat, you know, for a change.
Copy !req
15. Well, Miss Fine,
I rather prefer to stay at home.
Copy !req
16. Niles is the only one who knows
how to make my breakfast
Copy !req
17. - just the way I like it.
- Toast and eggs? Please.
Copy !req
18. Daniel Day-Lewis could make that
with his left foot tied behind his back.
Copy !req
19. Although, who would want to eat it?
Copy !req
20. Come on, aren't you sick
of the same old routine?
Copy !req
21. - I don't have a routine, Miss Fine.
- Of course you do.
Copy !req
22. I come in here every morning. I sit down.
Copy !req
23. - You say I look gorgeous.
- Well, I don't do that.
Copy !req
24. Well, start.
Copy !req
25. - Just one piece of toast
- Just one piece of toast
Copy !req
26. - this morning, Niles.
- this morning, Niles.
Copy !req
27. - I think I overdid... it this
- I think I overdid... it this
Copy !req
28. - weekend.
- weekend!
Copy !req
29. Just what is your problem, Miss Fine?
Copy !req
30. We're in a rut, honey.
I mean, Mr. Sheffield.
Copy !req
31. Nothing ever changes around here.
Copy !req
32. I mean, it's Monday morning,
which means Miss Babcock has just arrived.
Copy !req
33. She's handing Niles her coat.
Copy !req
34. She's saying, "Careful, I just cleaned
my fur."
Copy !req
35. To which he responds,
"Well, don't cough up any hairballs."
Copy !req
36. And right about now,
she's getting even with him.
Copy !req
37. Miss Babcock is here.
Copy !req
38. She was working in a bridal shop
In Flushing, Queens
Copy !req
39. 'Til her boyfriend kicked her out
In one of those crushing scenes
Copy !req
40. What was she to do, where was she to go?
She was out on her fanny
Copy !req
41. So, over the bridge from Flushing
To the Sheffields' door
Copy !req
42. She was there to sell makeup
But the father saw more
Copy !req
43. She had style, she had flair
She was there
Copy !req
44. That's how she became the Nanny
Copy !req
45. Who would have guessed
That the girl we described
Copy !req
46. Was just exactly
What the doctor prescribed?
Copy !req
47. - Now the father finds her beguiling
- Watch out, C.C.
Copy !req
48. - And the kids are actually smiling
- Such joie de vivre!
Copy !req
49. She's the lady in red
When everybody else is wearing tan
Copy !req
50. The flashy girl from Flushing
The Nanny named Fran
Copy !req
51. Fran, can you help me with this?
It's really hard.
Copy !req
52. Homework?
Copy !req
53. No. A Cosmo quiz.
Copy !req
54. Sure, honey.
Copy !req
55. Let's see.
Copy !req
56. "Is your man making the cut
or are you in a rut?"
Copy !req
57. Wow this should be very informative.
Copy !req
58. Yeah, I want to see if Peter and I...
Copy !req
59. - Now...
- Fran, you got a minute?
Copy !req
60. Fran, it's okay.
Copy !req
61. I mean, I probably should be doing
my homework.
Copy !req
62. Sweetie, you're a gorgeous blonde heiress.
You need trigonometry like a hole...
Copy !req
63. Here you go. Take your pen,
go upstairs, do your homework.
Copy !req
64. Fran, I made a play date for tomorrow.
Copy !req
65. Tomorrow's my manicure day.
Copy !req
66. That's okay.
Copy !req
67. No, it isn't, honey.
Copy !req
68. I mean, my personal
business should never interfere
Copy !req
69. with you and your friends.
Copy !req
70. Can't you change the play date?
Copy !req
71. Fran, I don't know
how to say this without hurting you.
Copy !req
72. Well, just be honest.
Copy !req
73. I don't want you to come with me.
Copy !req
74. Haven't you ever heard of a white lie?
Copy !req
75. I think I'm old enough to go alone.
Copy !req
76. Alone? What are you, six?
Copy !req
77. I'm 10.
Copy !req
78. Are you short for 10?
Copy !req
79. I just don't think, I need
my nanny sitting there,
Copy !req
80. watching me play with my friends.
It's kind of embarrassing.
Copy !req
81. Perhaps I should explain
what a white lie is.
Copy !req
82. Hi, Miss Babcock.
Copy !req
83. Gee that outfit looks fabulous on you.
Copy !req
84. Why, thank you, Nanny Fine.
Copy !req
85. You don't think it's too tailored?
Copy !req
86. No, not at all. Very sexy.
Copy !req
87. That was a variation on a white lie
known as lying through your teeth.
Copy !req
88. But, you know, you gotta be careful
because if you make it too obvious,
Copy !req
89. they're gonna see right through it.
Copy !req
90. Fran, I really want to go alone.
Copy !req
91. Although, I'll miss the sound
of your voice. It's so soothing.
Copy !req
92. Thank you, sweetheart.
Copy !req
93. So, can I go or not?
Copy !req
94. Honey, what are you so anxious
to grow up for anyway?
Copy !req
95. I mean, at your age,
it's cute to be single.
Copy !req
96. Fran, if you don't have to stay there
babysitting me,
Copy !req
97. you'll have more time for yourself.
Copy !req
98. Sweetie, it's my job.
Copy !req
99. What do you think?
I need to go to the movies
Copy !req
100. or have lunch with Val or go shopping...
Copy !req
101. You know what? We'll try it once.
We'll see if you like it.
Copy !req
102. Can you imagine,
Miss Fine thinking I'm predictable?
Copy !req
103. Me.
Copy !req
104. - Mr. Spontaneity.
- Spontaneity.
Copy !req
105. Niles, you don't think
I'm predictable, do you?
Copy !req
106. OF COURSE NOT, SIR!
Copy !req
107. Well, predictable is good.
Predictable is solid.
Copy !req
108. Oh, God, even I knew I was gonna say that.
Copy !req
109. Well, if I were you, sir,
I'd do something before she wakes up
Copy !req
110. in the bedroom of another man... sion.
Copy !req
111. Niles, I want her to be happy here.
Copy !req
112. How do you suggest
I go about satisfying Miss Fine?
Copy !req
113. Well, the second way, sir...
Copy !req
114. - Niles.
- Just shake it up, sir.
Copy !req
115. Do something wild. Out there.
Totally unexpected!
Copy !req
116. I don't know. Give me a bonus.
Copy !req
117. Mr. Sheffield, Gracie doesn't want me
to take her to play date any more.
Copy !req
118. She doesn't need me.
Copy !req
119. Did you know she was 10?
Copy !req
120. Miss Fine, do you think
this tie is boring?
Copy !req
121. Mr. Sheffield, this is very traumatic
for me.
Copy !req
122. I'm losing my baby.
Copy !req
123. Yes or no?
Copy !req
124. Well, it wouldn't be Monday
without your Monday tie.
Copy !req
125. That's it. It's gone!
Copy !req
126. All right. What else don't you like?
Copy !req
127. Am I crazy about the pants?
Copy !req
128. - Miss Fine!
- Miss Fine!
Copy !req
129. You are just going to avoid
the whole issue, aren't you?
Copy !req
130. So predictable.
Copy !req
131. Oh, oh, yeah? Oh, yeah?
Copy !req
132. Bet you didn't think I was gonna do that!
Copy !req
133. Sure. Tousle Niles' hair.
Copy !req
134. Typical.
Copy !req
135. Did he flatten it all out?
Because I do like a little height.
Copy !req
136. Fran, there's no more room in here.
Copy !req
137. Do you want to take some of the crystal?
Copy !req
138. All right. Maybe just Wilma and Bamm...
Copy !req
139. Don't tell your sister
because I don't want
Copy !req
140. to start World War III here.
Copy !req
141. Ma, I can't believe
Gracie doesn't want to be seen with me.
Copy !req
142. Honey, it's a normal thing
for a kid to go through.
Copy !req
143. Do you remember
when you suddenly didn't want
Copy !req
144. me to pick you up at school?
Copy !req
145. Yeah. But, Ma, I don't wear a girdle
on the outside of my pants.
Copy !req
146. Madonna does it... it's trendy.
I do it, I'm a freak.
Copy !req
147. If you're so upset, why don't you talk
to Mr. Sheffield about it?
Copy !req
148. Me and Mr. Sheffield,
that's a whole another story.
Copy !req
149. I don't think there's any spark left
in our relationship.
Copy !req
150. Did you try unscrewing the light bulbs
for a little mood lighting?
Copy !req
151. Whenever I want to turn your father on,
Copy !req
152. the first thing I do is make it dark.
Copy !req
153. But, Ma, me and Mr. Sheffield,
aren't even close to unscrewing.
Copy !req
154. In fact, I think we're beginning
to bore each other.
Copy !req
155. That's normal in a marriage.
Copy !req
156. But me and Mr. Sheffield aren't married.
Copy !req
157. - Are you living with him?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
158. - Are you taking care of his kids?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
159. - Are you having sex?
- No.
Copy !req
160. Then you're married.
Copy !req
161. Relationships are like thighs.
Copy !req
162. They start out smooth,
Copy !req
163. then they get a little lumpy,
Copy !req
164. but without them, you don't have
a leg to stand on.
Copy !req
165. You know, Ma, I think you're
about a quart low on your estrogen.
Copy !req
166. Honey, the point is you've got to go
with the flow.
Copy !req
167. Things change.
Copy !req
168. Not here, Ma.
Copy !req
169. That's why I always like to come home.
Copy !req
170. That, and I need a place to hide out
when I pretend to have a date.
Copy !req
171. Well, honey, things change here, too.
Copy !req
172. Look, I changed the curtains.
Copy !req
173. - I got new contact paper.
- Nice.
Copy !req
174. I threw your father out.
Copy !req
175. I switched to fat-free Wish-Bone dressing.
Copy !req
176. What?
Copy !req
177. You can hardly taste the difference.
Copy !req
178. No, Ma. What about you and Daddy?
Copy !req
179. I don't want to talk about it.
Copy !req
180. Do you want a blintz?
Copy !req
181. Ma! Got any sour cream?
Copy !req
182. I do. If you don't care
about expiration dates.
Copy !req
183. No.
Copy !req
184. What could Daddy have done
to make you throw him out of the house?
Copy !req
185. - Is it another woman?
- Of course not.
Copy !req
186. You know I don't go that way.
Copy !req
187. We had a fight.
Copy !req
188. Is that all? You two are always fighting.
He'll come back.
Copy !req
189. It's different this time.
Copy !req
190. It's for good. Go look.
Copy !req
191. Oh, my God!
Copy !req
192. He took his good hair!
Copy !req
193. Ma.
Copy !req
194. Niles, my parents are splitting up.
Copy !req
195. What if Ma starts dating other men
Copy !req
196. and finds one she likes
Copy !req
197. and gets married before me?
Copy !req
198. There, there, Miss Fine.
Copy !req
199. Niles, I've got to get them back together.
Copy !req
200. No one in my family has ever been
divorced before.
Copy !req
201. - I thought your sister was?
- No. They're just miserable.
Copy !req
202. What about your Aunt Hester
and Uncle Louie?
Copy !req
203. Never legally married.
Copy !req
204. - How about your cousin Ernie and...
- What are you? Liz Smith?
Copy !req
205. Niles, would you mind preparing
a little nosh?
Copy !req
206. I have my grandmas coming over,
Yettie and Nettie.
Copy !req
207. We're gonna try and figure out a way
to get my parents back together again.
Copy !req
208. What shall I prepare? Nuts?
Some English toffee? Biscotti?
Copy !req
209. Yeah, that sounds good. Just put it
in a blender with a couple of prunes.
Copy !req
210. Goodbye, Fran.
I'm going to my play date.
Copy !req
211. Wait a minute. What about instructions?
Copy !req
212. All right, Fran. Sit down.
Copy !req
213. Breathe deeply.
Copy !req
214. Here's the number if you need me.
I'll be right across the street.
Copy !req
215. Okay. I'll be all right. Go ahead.
Copy !req
216. Only, look both ways
before you cross the street
Copy !req
217. and don't talk to strangers
Copy !req
218. and don't make contact
with the toilet seat.
Copy !req
219. That's a good girl.
Copy !req
220. Yeah, you're almost there, sweetie.
Copy !req
221. Bye-bye, baby.
Copy !req
222. Hi, Gracie? We made it, honey!
Copy !req
223. Are you bored?
Do you want me to pick you up?
Copy !req
224. I'll buy you something. Okay bye.
Copy !req
225. Nanny Fine, get a hold of yourself.
All these tears just because of little...
Copy !req
226. Lacey?
Copy !req
227. It's not just because of Lacey.
Copy !req
228. My parents are splitting up.
Copy !req
229. Everything that I've come to rely
and depend on is just gone.
Copy !req
230. Nanny Fine, get a grip.
My mother left when I was born.
Copy !req
231. She wanted a girl.
Copy !req
232. Sure. It's hard at first.
You're shuttled from house to house,
Copy !req
233. forced to choose who you love the most.
Copy !req
234. They try to buy your love,
Copy !req
235. topping each other's gifts,
giving you more and more
Copy !req
236. until you've got everything
you ever wanted!
Copy !req
237. Life can be sweet, Nanny Fine!
Copy !req
238. Divorce? Embrace it!
Copy !req
239. I'm coming. I'm coming.
Copy !req
240. Nanas,
Copy !req
241. I thought you were gonna stop smoking.
Copy !req
242. What, it's gonna stunt our growth?
Copy !req
243. Yetta, you promised
you were gonna quit smoking.
Copy !req
244. She also promised she wouldn't eat
anything gassy before we left.
Copy !req
245. Meanwhile, did you get a seat
on the express bus?
Copy !req
246. It is a wonder I have any class at all.
Copy !req
247. There's that floss.
Copy !req
248. - These cookies for us?
- Sure, Nana. Help yourself.
Copy !req
249. So, Yettie, did you talk to Ma?
Copy !req
250. Sweetheart, please,
Copy !req
251. throwing that bum out was
the smartest thing she ever did.
Copy !req
252. She should have married Alan King.
Copy !req
253. Ma knew Alan King?
Copy !req
254. No. That was the hitch.
Copy !req
255. Yetta, you rest.
Copy !req
256. Nettie, did you talk to Dad?
Copy !req
257. Why should I?
I like having my baby home again
Copy !req
258. in his little room, in his little bed.
Copy !req
259. Oh, God, don't tell me you're bathing him.
Copy !req
260. He's such a good boy.
Copy !req
261. There's a bulb, I couldn't reach
to change for 10 years,
Copy !req
262. but now that your father's there,
he gave me a boost.
Copy !req
263. I can't believe you guys.
You're so selfish.
Copy !req
264. Mom and Dad splitting up isn't about you.
Copy !req
265. It's about me.
Copy !req
266. - Look what you did.
- Look what you did.
Copy !req
267. - Franny...
- Franny,
Copy !req
268. - you want a pep'mint?
- Okay.
Copy !req
269. Do you want an... ashtray?
Copy !req
270. Where did I get this?
Copy !req
271. The Hilton. Oh, sure.
Copy !req
272. Forget it. I'm just gonna talk
to Daddy myself.
Copy !req
273. Come on, Nettie, we're gonna go
to your place.
Copy !req
274. I can't have people over.
I've got nothing in the house.
Copy !req
275. I suppose, I'll bake some cookies.
Copy !req
276. I love my apartment. It's so cheerful.
Copy !req
277. Sure. It's like living
inside a Hostess Snowball.
Copy !req
278. Don't sit down, Nettie.
I'll never find you.
Copy !req
279. Where is he?
Copy !req
280. Try the bathroom. It's the pink door.
Copy !req
281. I'm gonna start the cookies.
Copy !req
282. Now, come on, Dad, you know that Mom
and you are meant to be together.
Copy !req
283. I mean, what are you gonna do?
Start sitting at singles bars,
Copy !req
284. picking up on babes,
Copy !req
285. hoping that they notice
how much time you put into your hair,
Copy !req
286. and all the makeup,
squeezing into that tight dress.
Copy !req
287. It's pathetic... Oh, wait a minute.
Copy !req
288. Hot cookies!
Copy !req
289. I don't want things to change.
Copy !req
290. I want my parents back together again.
Copy !req
291. Mom in the kitchen and Dad in the den,
his hair in the bedroom.
Copy !req
292. Daddy, come out of there.
What are you doing in there?
Copy !req
293. Me.
Copy !req
294. Ma. In the bathroom?
Copy !req
295. Well, it is the room he feels
the most comfortable in.
Copy !req
296. Spare me the details.
Copy !req
297. I'm just happy that you
and Daddy got together again and made up.
Copy !req
298. Twice.
Copy !req
299. Thank you for your hospitality, Nettie.
Copy !req
300. Tramp.
Copy !req
301. You better believe it.
Copy !req
302. Mr. Sheffield, I'm home!
Copy !req
303. Thank God, nothing ever changes here.
Copy !req
304. Where are you, my dependable, stable,
Copy !req
305. Rock of Gibraltar, stodgy, uptight,
Copy !req
306. totally predictable...
Copy !req
307. Oh, my God!
Copy !req
308. Is that my blouse?
Copy !req
309. Dad? Dad, there's
this really great party tonight and...
Copy !req
310. Okay, it might last until 3:00 a.m.
Copy !req
311. But before you start yelling
and calling me "young lady"
Copy !req
312. - and forbidding me to go—
- Of course, Margaret, go ahead.
Copy !req
313. Have a wonderful time.
Copy !req
314. Dad, you're so strict.
You never let me do anything.
Copy !req
315. All my friends are— What'd you say?
Copy !req
316. I'm cool.
Copy !req
317. I don't want to dis your plans.
Copy !req
318. Do you know why I'm doing this?
Copy !req
319. You're toasted?
Copy !req
320. No.
Copy !req
321. Well, perhaps I'm not quite as predictable
Copy !req
322. as some people like to think I am.
Copy !req
323. - Margaret?
- See you.
Copy !req
324. Mr. Sheffield, I know what you're doing,
and believe me, I'm very flattered,
Copy !req
325. but don't go changing to try
and please me.
Copy !req
326. No, Miss Fine. You were right.
I was far too boring.
Copy !req
327. I need to mix it up. Keep 'em guessing.
Copy !req
328. No. I miss boring.
Copy !req
329. I want it. I need it. I gotta have it.
Copy !req
330. At the risk of slipping
into my old routine,
Copy !req
331. what the devil are you talking about,
Miss Fine?
Copy !req
332. I, I thought you wanted me to change.
Copy !req
333. Change a little. A little is good.
Copy !req
334. It's like Michael Jackson's face.
Copy !req
335. Should have stopped after Thriller.
Copy !req
336. Well, I happen to like the new me.
Copy !req
337. Come on, you don't want Maggie going
to that wild, out-of-control party
Copy !req
338. any more than I want Gracie going
on a play date by herself.
Copy !req
339. Oh, I'm fine with Margaret going.
Copy !req
340. - Till 3:00 in the morning?
- She's an adult.
Copy !req
341. - With a strange boy?
- I trust her.
Copy !req
342. He's a Kennedy.
Copy !req
343. Margaret!
Copy !req
344. How could you let me do this?
Copy !req
345. - Well, I was gonna say...
- Look at me.
Copy !req
346. I'm dressed like Doc bloody Severance
Copy !req
347. with my Friday tie on a Tuesday!
Copy !req
348. Life with you is the most convoluted,
exasperated...
Copy !req
349. Go ahead and yell. That's stable.
That's healthy.
Copy !req
350. Hello, Mrs. Lombardi, is Gracie there?
Copy !req
351. Oh no. Let her play. Let her play.
Copy !req
352. Yeah. Just tell her that,
the doctor called.
Copy !req
353. It definitely is chicken pox,
and not to scratch her...
Copy !req
354. You want me to come by and pick her up?
I'll be right over.
Copy !req
355. Coming, baby.
Copy !req
