1. Oh, Ma, remember this?
Copy !req
2. "June 17th. Dear Diary,
my prom's tomorrow night
Copy !req
3. and still no word from David Sole.
Copy !req
4. Hope I don't wind up with some loser."
Copy !req
5. "June 18th. Val and I decide
not to get each other corsages."
Copy !req
6. Ma, you know, you're eating butter
right out of the tub.
Copy !req
7. That's right.
Copy !req
8. It's the bread that puts the weight on.
Copy !req
9. It's my new diet.
Copy !req
10. See?
Copy !req
11. Ice cream, no cone.
Copy !req
12. Cheesecake, no crust.
Copy !req
13. Stick, no Dove bar.
Copy !req
14. Sweetheart, what do you want
with all these old diaries anyway?
Copy !req
15. Well, actually, my therapist said
that I should get to the root
Copy !req
16. of the problems that plague me.
So naturally, I came to see you.
Copy !req
17. Thanks.
Copy !req
18. But I don't even know
what your problem is.
Copy !req
19. Over 30, not married.
Copy !req
20. You know, my therapist
is making me realize
Copy !req
21. that I don't need to be married
to feel good about myself.
Copy !req
22. That's nice.
Copy !req
23. Why don't you book an appointment
on New Year's Eve,
Copy !req
24. when you're alone?
Copy !req
25. You know, Ma, finding a man
is your dream for me,
Copy !req
26. but it isn't mine anymore.
Copy !req
27. Dr. Miller says that I should go out
of the house without makeup on,
Copy !req
28. and I should even tell people my real age.
Copy !req
29. What else does this genius have to say?
Copy !req
30. I don't know. I blacked out after that.
Copy !req
31. She was working in a bridal shop
In Flushing, Queens
Copy !req
32. 'Till her boyfriend kicked her out
In one of those crushing scenes
Copy !req
33. What was she to do?
Where was she to go?
Copy !req
34. She was out on her fanny
Copy !req
35. So over the bridge from Flushing
To the Sheffield's door
Copy !req
36. She was there to sell makeup,
But the father saw more
Copy !req
37. She had style, she had flair
She was there
Copy !req
38. That's how she became the nanny
Copy !req
39. Who would have guessed
That the girl we've described
Copy !req
40. Was just exactly what
The doctor prescribed?
Copy !req
41. Now the father finds her beguiling
Watch out, C.C.
Copy !req
42. And the kids are actually smiling
Such joie de vivre
Copy !req
43. She's the lady in red
When everybody else is wearing tan
Copy !req
44. The flashy girl from Flushing
The nanny named Fran
Copy !req
45. I can't believe you told your mother
you were giving up men.
Copy !req
46. What did she do?
Copy !req
47. Well, she tried to swallow
a whole rotisserie chicken
Copy !req
48. in her mouth like a python.
Copy !req
49. Maybe you should have told her
when she wasn't eating.
Copy !req
50. You try and catch lightning in a bottle.
Copy !req
51. No, no, no. Don't, mind me.
Copy !req
52. I just seem to have misplaced
something I need rather badly.
Copy !req
53. - What does it look like, sir?
- Well, it's a large, gray,
Copy !req
54. overstuffed butler!
Copy !req
55. I asked for these an hour ago.
Copy !req
56. - You're fired.
- I'm sorry, sir.
Copy !req
57. I should have been more attentive
to my duty.
Copy !req
58. I don't know how you put up with—
Oh, bite me.
Copy !req
59. I've got to hurry home
and get on the Internet.
Copy !req
60. I have met the most fabulous man online.
Copy !req
61. - What's his name?
- I don't know. We go by screen names.
Copy !req
62. His is Porsche Puppy.
Copy !req
63. You're Good and Plenty?
Copy !req
64. I am so embarrassed.
Copy !req
65. The things I said.
Copy !req
66. The things he said.
Copy !req
67. You know, he's got quite a vocabulary
for a 15-year-old.
Copy !req
68. Oh, cheer up.
Copy !req
69. You should be happy someone's still
interested in those old floppy disks.
Copy !req
70. Poor, Ms. Babcock.
Copy !req
71. You must feel like the biggest loser
in the world right now.
Copy !req
72. Why don't you come out
with me and Val tonight?
Copy !req
73. We'll change all that.
Copy !req
74. Nanny Fine, give me one good reason
I should go out with you.
Copy !req
75. 'Cause you just broke up with a guy
that still sees a pediatrician.
Copy !req
76. I got one.
Copy !req
77. You need a man to hook up speakers.
Copy !req
78. That's a good one.
Copy !req
79. Putting together book shelves
from Home Depot.
Copy !req
80. Yeah.
Copy !req
81. Helping with the shopping and cooking.
Copy !req
82. Doing heavy laundry.
Copy !req
83. I'm sorry. I just know from Jewish men.
Copy !req
84. You know, coming here was a great idea.
Copy !req
85. You're a lot smarter
than you look, Nanny Fine.
Copy !req
86. Well, I should hope so.
Copy !req
87. Look at those men over there,
staring at us smoke.
Copy !req
88. It's not very feminine. I wonder
why it turns them on so much?
Copy !req
89. Hi.
Copy !req
90. If you don't mind, we're having
a girls' night only.
Copy !req
91. - Who you interested in?
- Her.
Copy !req
92. Yeah. Girls' night only, bub.
Copy !req
93. That's too bad, because, I saw you
from across the room and,
Copy !req
94. - I was gonna—
- Catch you later.
Copy !req
95. What's so funny?
Copy !req
96. I just remembered something
Porsche Puppy said.
Copy !req
97. Excuse me, sir. I'm leaving now,
as per your firing me.
Copy !req
98. Just save your apologies.
I can take this abuse no longer.
Copy !req
99. - Just bring my bloody lunch in.
- Good to be back, sir.
Copy !req
100. Where's Miss Fine?
Copy !req
101. She's out with Ms. Babcock,
Copy !req
102. you know, our two single,
independent women.
Copy !req
103. When you sent Miss Fine to therapy,
you never thought how it would affect me.
Copy !req
104. Ms. Babcock should be here.
She's my home entertainment center.
Copy !req
105. Niles, can you get me a drink?
Copy !req
106. Happy hour
doesn't start 'till you go home.
Copy !req
107. See? It just doesn't work with her.
Copy !req
108. Look, would you stop complaining?
Copy !req
109. Miss Fine giving up men is a godsend.
Copy !req
110. But, sir, you're a man,
despite the way you dribble a ball
Copy !req
111. and those bath beads you like so much.
Copy !req
112. This is not about me.
Copy !req
113. Miss Fine giving up her urge
to be in a relationship,
Copy !req
114. is the best thing for her.
Copy !req
115. No more rushing into romances,
no more getting her poor heart broken.
Copy !req
116. - No more nudging you to make a commitment.
- Yeah, I know. Isn't it wonderful?
Copy !req
117. And the best part of it is,
it's all the doctor's idea.
Copy !req
118. There's no way I can be blamed for this.
Copy !req
119. I blame you for this.
Copy !req
120. I don't know who the bigger nut is,
Copy !req
121. that shrink for telling her
she doesn't need to get married,
Copy !req
122. or you for paying for it.
Copy !req
123. Tell her that you can't afford it,
that you're broke.
Copy !req
124. Well, she'll never believe that.
He's worth millions.
Copy !req
125. Have you ever thought of investing
in a bagel nosh in Boca?
Copy !req
126. I know a couple that could run it for you.
Copy !req
127. Sylvia, look, your daughter
has reevaluated her goals in life,
Copy !req
128. and we're just gonna have to support her.
Copy !req
129. Why? She doesn't support my goals,
Copy !req
130. that she get married, have children.
Copy !req
131. See her picture in this frame.
Copy !req
132. That's my family.
Copy !req
133. Hello?
Copy !req
134. I am so upset.
Copy !req
135. I don't know whether
this is Muenster or Jack.
Copy !req
136. Sylvia. Sylvia, listen to me.
Copy !req
137. You're going to have to give
your daughter room to grow,
Copy !req
138. or you're gonna risk alienating her.
Copy !req
139. How could I be so stupid?
Copy !req
140. This is cheddar with port-wine marbling.
Copy !req
141. Okay. One question, little buddy.
Copy !req
142. Do you think this leather jacket
Copy !req
143. is a little too come-hither
for a gay club?
Copy !req
144. Well, personally, I have problems
with tall blond Aryans in leather jackets.
Copy !req
145. What makes you think
the place is a gay club?
Copy !req
146. Well, I heard your mother scream at you
Copy !req
147. for pursuing a sick alternative lifestyle.
Copy !req
148. She just meant being single.
Copy !req
149. Do you have to know every bloody thing
that's going on in this house?
Copy !req
150. You're like a fishwife.
Copy !req
151. Okay, Dad.
Copy !req
152. They're going to a blues bar with Val.
C.C. is treating to a cab.
Copy !req
153. Now, the boots that I want
are on hold at Bergdorf's.
Copy !req
154. You know, if we change our hair
appointments to the same day,
Copy !req
155. we can talk under the dryers.
Copy !req
156. - You know what, Nanny Fine?
- What?
Copy !req
157. I'm not even gonna take my purse.
Copy !req
158. I don't need my perfume or my makeup.
Copy !req
159. I'm not primping for a man.
Copy !req
160. You know what? I don't need
my purse either. Let's go.
Copy !req
161. You know what? Wait a minute.
I just need one thing in here.
Copy !req
162. Just one minute here.
Copy !req
163. Gotta have this and my credit card.
Copy !req
164. I'm gonna just take that.
And then, a couple of more things.
Copy !req
165. I can't really live without them.
Copy !req
166. You know what? I can't do this.
I can't do this.
Copy !req
167. You know, I'm not ready
for this yet. That's all.
Copy !req
168. I'll get it!
Copy !req
169. - Hi.
- Hi.
Copy !req
170. Listen, I can't go out with you tonight
Copy !req
171. and celebrate that we don't need men.
Copy !req
172. - Why?
- 'Cause I got one.
Copy !req
173. Bye, Val. Have fun.
Copy !req
174. Well, it looks like it's just
you and me, Ms. Babcock.
Copy !req
175. - More no men for us.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
176. Chandler, what are you doing here?
Copy !req
177. I just stopped
by to drop off these contracts.
Copy !req
178. All right, that's a lie.
Copy !req
179. I own three Broadway theaters.
Copy !req
180. I don't need to deliver my own contracts.
Copy !req
181. I just wanted to catch one more glimpse
Copy !req
182. of that smooth white skin.
Copy !req
183. Well, Maxwell's English.
You know, they all have that milky—
Copy !req
184. Who? Me?
Copy !req
185. I know this is kind
of last minute, but,
Copy !req
186. do you think you could
join me for dinner tonight?
Copy !req
187. Well, Chandler,
it's 8:30 on a Saturday night.
Copy !req
188. Yes.
Copy !req
189. Well, good night and thank you very much.
Copy !req
190. Boy, I hope she's not planning
on getting lucky tonight.
Copy !req
191. - Why not?
- Because she took my purse
Copy !req
192. and the only protection
I got in there is a picture of Ma.
Copy !req
193. Okay, how about this one?
Copy !req
194. You win the lottery,
get struck by lightning
Copy !req
195. and you're invited
to the White House by President Perot?
Copy !req
196. No, no. The odds of Val and Ms. Babcock,
Copy !req
197. both having boyfriends is still higher.
Copy !req
198. I suppose we should be happy for them.
Copy !req
199. - But who is?
- Screw them.
Copy !req
200. They'll be going out
on a double date tonight.
Copy !req
201. They asked me to join them, but...
Copy !req
202. - I don't wanna be a fifth wheel.
- If I were you, I would go.
Copy !req
203. - Really?
- Of course. Remember,
Copy !req
204. when a tire goes out on a car,
they need that fifth wheel.
Copy !req
205. What's that mean?
Copy !req
206. I don't know. I'm depressed about
Ms. Babcock. I've been in the brandy.
Copy !req
207. Now, what is wrong with me?
Copy !req
208. I can hold my own without a man.
Copy !req
209. I'm an independent,
self-sufficient woman.
Copy !req
210. You know what? I am gonna
march myself right down there
Copy !req
211. - and order me a lobster.
- A lobster?
Copy !req
212. Well, bat my eyes a few times.
The boys will pick up the check.
Copy !req
213. - Where's Miss Fine?
- She's stepping out with my baby.
Copy !req
214. I was gonna cheer her up.
Copy !req
215. I made reservations
for the two of us at La Côte Basque.
Copy !req
216. Well, never mind.
Copy !req
217. - What are you doing tonight?
- Nothing, sir. Free as a bird.
Copy !req
218. Good. Cancel my reservations
and make me a taco.
Copy !req
219. Now, before we dig in,
I just wanna say this evening is on me.
Copy !req
220. - No, no, no.
- Say something.
Copy !req
221. Can I order the really big shrimp?
Copy !req
222. Why don't I choose a wine?
Copy !req
223. Hi.
Copy !req
224. But not that one.
Copy !req
225. - Hi.
- Hi.
Copy !req
226. We were beginning to hope—
think you wouldn't come.
Copy !req
227. I'll just sit on the side here.
Just move over, just a little bit.
Copy !req
228. I don't take up a lot of room.
Copy !req
229. I don't know why we haven't done
this before, Ms. Babcock.
Copy !req
230. Me neither, Val. Salute.
Copy !req
231. That's why.
Copy !req
232. Good garlic toast.
Copy !req
233. You know, next time
we all go out together,
Copy !req
234. we should try the Chinese
restaurant next door.
Copy !req
235. That's the real McCoy.
Copy !req
236. Full of Jews.
Copy !req
237. The cheese is just a little clumpy.
Copy !req
238. - Maybe we should order our entrées.
- Good.
Copy !req
239. - That's a good idea. Yeah, let's order.
- Wait,
Copy !req
240. someone must be sitting on my menu.
Copy !req
241. - No.
- No, no.
Copy !req
242. - Fran. Fran.
- Are you all right?
Copy !req
243. Yes. Okay. Yeah,
I'm okay. I'm fine. I'm fine.
Copy !req
244. Go back to your calamari.
Nothing to see here.
Copy !req
245. - Why don't I sit on the end, shall I?
- Okay.
Copy !req
246. - Thanks. Thank you. Thanks.
- Okay.
Copy !req
247. How embarrassing.
Copy !req
248. Okay. Here we go. All right.
Copy !req
249. Now, let's see.
Copy !req
250. Dinner for two. Chateaubriand for two.
Copy !req
251. That's for two. What is this?
A restaurant or an ark?
Copy !req
252. You know, Fran, I think that guy
over there is flirting with you.
Copy !req
253. - Look, he's waving, he's pointing.
- Val, I so don't care.
Copy !req
254. Why does a man think
just because a woman is alone,
Copy !req
255. that she instantly wants a companion?
Here we go. Here we go.
Copy !req
256. - Excuse me.
- Yes?
Copy !req
257. There's a candle behind you
and I think your hair's on fire.
Copy !req
258. Okay. All right. Okay. Okay.
Everything's okay.
Copy !req
259. Stop hitting me, Val.
Copy !req
260. You know,
I think this garlic bread's burned
Copy !req
261. or it's got smoked cheese or something.
Copy !req
262. Right, right.
Copy !req
263. I just thought it was hot
because I'm sitting next to you.
Copy !req
264. Oh, stop!
Copy !req
265. Maximum capacity, 140.
Copy !req
266. - Care to dance?
- I would.
Copy !req
267. How about it, Val?
Would you like to dance?
Copy !req
268. Well, I don't wanna leave Fran
Copy !req
269. - sitting here all by herself.
- No, it's okay, honey.
Copy !req
270. - Go ahead and have fun.
- All right.
Copy !req
271. You know what? I could dance by myself.
Copy !req
272. Yeah. That's exactly what I'm gonna do.
Copy !req
273. Would I lie to you, honey?
Copy !req
274. No, no, no.
Copy !req
275. Now would I say something
That wasn't true
Copy !req
276. I'm asking you, sugar
Would I lie to you
Copy !req
277. And I'd do anything for you
Copy !req
278. In spite of it all
Copy !req
279. I've learned so much from you
Copy !req
280. You made me strong
Copy !req
281. But don't you ever think
That I don't love you
Copy !req
282. For one minute I forgot you
Copy !req
283. Sometimes things don't work out right
Copy !req
284. And you just have to say goodbye
Copy !req
285. - I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- No, that's all right.
Copy !req
286. We're staying at the airport Hilton.
Copy !req
287. I mean, what do we really know
about this Chandler fellow
Copy !req
288. Ms. Babcock's so fond of?
Copy !req
289. Where did that psychiatrist
get his degree?
Copy !req
290. That's what I'd like to know.
Copy !req
291. Gin.
Copy !req
292. And what kind of an imbecile
encourages a single woman
Copy !req
293. to go out with two couples,
like some kind of a fifth wheel?
Copy !req
294. Yes, it's madness, sir.
Copy !req
295. I sent her to that psychiatrist
to stop this dating lunacy
Copy !req
296. and get her to spend
more time here with me.
Copy !req
297. Well, the children, you know.
Copy !req
298. Gin.
Copy !req
299. It's time you went to bed now, Brighton.
Copy !req
300. Okay. Well, here's what you guys owe me.
Copy !req
301. He's a good card player.
Copy !req
302. Well, he learned it from me.
Copy !req
303. - Well, good night, sir.
- Yeah, good night.
Copy !req
304. Listen, Niles, I was thinking,
Copy !req
305. tomorrow is Saturday,
do you have any plans?
Copy !req
306. Why?
Copy !req
307. Do you want me to move the piano upstairs?
Copy !req
308. Snake the drains in all the bathrooms?
Copy !req
309. Actually, I was gonna ask you
to join me at the club for brunch.
Copy !req
310. But if you're gonna have that attitude,
you can just stay home
Copy !req
311. and heat yourself up
a bloody Pizza Pocket.
Copy !req
312. Bye.
Copy !req
313. Yeah. No, no, no. I can't tomorrow.
Copy !req
314. Go home, you zanies.
Copy !req
315. Those four, just party, party, party.
Copy !req
316. But, you know,
I gotta get up in the morning.
Copy !req
317. - So, you had a good time, Miss Fine?
- Need you ask?
Copy !req
318. Does this look like the face
of a person that had a bad time?
Copy !req
319. I had a fabulous time.
Why do you think I've been out,
Copy !req
320. - half the night?
- Well, Miss Fine, it's only 8:15.
Copy !req
321. I had a horrible time.
Copy !req
322. Miss Fine. There, there.
Copy !req
323. You know, Miss Fine,
it's a very brave thing you did.
Copy !req
324. Just after Sara died,
Copy !req
325. when I had to venture
out on my own for the first time.
Copy !req
326. Just me and my butler
and my chauffeur.
Copy !req
327. Well, the point is,
the point is Miss Fine,
Copy !req
328. this independence takes time.
Copy !req
329. I'll tell you what. Just for now,
Copy !req
330. why don't we practice
being on our own together?
Copy !req
331. On our own together?
Copy !req
332. That could work.
Copy !req
333. - What are you playing?
- Solitaire.
Copy !req
334. - Can I play too?
- Well, actually, Miss Fine,
Copy !req
335. it's a game for one person to—
Copy !req
336. All right. Go on. Have a go.
Copy !req
337. Well, here's your whole problem, mister.
Copy !req
338. You got a king over here by himself,
Copy !req
339. and you got a queen over there,
alone like a dog.
Copy !req
340. Put your queen on top of your king
and watch what happens.
Copy !req
341. - Over there.
- All right.
Copy !req
342. - Okay. Yes.
- Move that over there.
Copy !req
343. - All right.
- Okay.
Copy !req
344. Now we're getting some action, you see?
Copy !req
345. All right. And I'm done.
Copy !req
346. See how fast I finished?
Copy !req
347. And you wonder
why you're playing solitaire.
Copy !req
348. When I snap my fingers,
Copy !req
349. you will no longer try to fix
your daughter up with men.
Copy !req
350. You will no longer be obsessed
with her getting married.
Copy !req
351. And you'll have a burning desire
to move to Boca.
Copy !req
352. Fran, I just had a fabulous idea!
