I don't want anybody discussing my affairs.

Bring it on, baby.
You're a silent son of a bitch.
Don't give me that shit!
From the moment I got here, that's all anybody's been talkin' about - Mabel.
Well, don't say you don't know when you do know!
I didn't say I don't know.
You goddamn Mexican Indian, don't you walk away from me!
You got something to say to me, say it!
But don't you walk away from me!
Hey, he just went over.!
I want to stop off at my kids' school and pick up my kids.

And a pair of shoes. Nobody gets pneumonia when I'm the father.
Kids!
How's this, Pop?
Hello, Dad.
What a day, Nick. I haven't been to the beach without my wife in 12 years.
We used to live in the water when I was a kid.
"Fish" they called me.
I was thin, see.
Lips all blue.
Shakin'. I was always lookin' for girls.
My kids, they're all grown up now.
My brother, Marco, he's a college graduate.
Communist. Couldn't keep a job.
Too many big ideas.
Reads too much. I say let the girls read.
They love to read. You know what I mean?
- Okay, let's enjoy ourselves, okay? - Okay.
- Yes. - I want to talk to my kids too.
Talk to your kids? They never listen.
Why should they listen? I never listened.
Did you listen?
- I mean, did you listen? - All right. Right here.
Come on. Up here. We'll plop down right here. Come on.
Come on. Come on.
Come on.
Hey, Nick. I'm usually a lot of fun, right?
But to see a guy like Eddie fall and break all his bones -
- Holy shit. I mean, what a fall. - All right. Knock it off, will ya?
I mean, we're here to have a good time. We're having a good time.
We came to play with the kids. So let's play with the kids.
Otherwise we go home!
- Come here. - You're right, Nick. I'm sorry. You're right.
Come on. You wanna go play?
Come on. Let's go. We'll go build... a castle.

Don't worry about it.
Hey, Nick.

I'm going in the back. I'm gonna ride with the kids.
Can I have a taste, Pop?
Sure. Here.
Not too much now.
Okay, Tony. That's enough.
Can I have some, Pop?
All right. Just a sip. Not like your brother.
Can I have some, Dad?
All right.
Just a little bit. Not too much now.
See, you gotta be careful on a funny day like today.
We could all get too - too drunk.
But, you know, a little beer, it's good. You sleep like rocks.
There you go, Tony.
- Not too much now. - Can I have some, Pop?
That's enough now.
I'm sorry I had to send your mother away. I'm sorry for everything.
Yahoo.!
All right. Now be careful.
Come here. All right. Come on now.
Can you walk?
All right. All right.
Get that stuff. All right.
- Get that stuff. - I'll put it here for you, Nick.
- Let me put it here. - Get those things there.
All right. Okay.
Come on, darling. Better get inside because...

Let's see if we can find a cup of coffee.
Of course you're hungry. We'll do something about that.
- Thank you very much. - I don't think the young people think enough about how important food is.
- Could I see the children? - They go about eating like birds.
Why don't you wait a minute? You go in there, they're gonna start to cry...

- Gee, I'm terribly sorry. - No, it's my fault.
No, I pulled the chair out, and I thought you saw me.
Look, hon.
Everybody is having a good time here, but I think we should leave you alone...
so that you can relax.
You're staying for dinner.
I would stay for dinner...
but, uh, uh, it's unbelievable.
If you're gonna have spaghetti, I can't stay.
- George. - I can't stay because I can't eat it.
- Sit down! - No offense. I just don't like spaghetti.
- I'm not a spaghetti man. - Sit down, George!
- Don't you tell me to sit down! - Dad.
Hey.
Come on.
I'll sit down here with you, Dad.
You can sit anywhere you like, hon.
I'm very happy to see my family.
Do I look pretty, Dad?
You look beautiful, hon.
- You think I'm gonna be all right? - You're gonna be fine.
Just fine.
Mabel, honey.
Why don't you go over and sit with your mother?
Go sit with your mother, hon.
Come on. Excuse us for a minute.
Come on. Don't worry. It's all right.
- I'm with you. There's nothing you can do wrong. - I don't know what to do.
- There's nothing you can do wrong. - I don't know what you want.
I just want you to be yourself. This is your house.
- The hell with them! Up theirs! The hell with them! - I don 't know what to- I can 't.
- Just be yourself. Be yourself. - Can't.
Come on.
Be happy. Come on.
Come on. Come on.
Come on.
That's right. That-a-girl.
Look.
Ba.! Ba.! Ba.! That's it, huh?
All right. Give me a "ba-ba."
Ba-ba.
Give me another "ba-ba."
Ba-ba.
- Give me a better "ba-ba." - Ba-ba.
No! A real "ba-ba."
Come on.
All right. Everybody in the dining room. We're gonna have a party.
Come on.
Come on. Come on. Let's make it like a house. Come on.
Let's enjoy ourselves.
Let's have a little warmth here.
Tina, you ready? We're ready.
Go on in, Doc. Come on.
- Mama, talk to the people. Be a host. - Okay, okay.
- Hi. Hi, Zepp. - Hi.
- Hi, Dr. Zepp! - Hello, Tony.
- Hi. Hi, Tony. - Hi!
- Hi, Maria. - Hi, Angelo.
Hello, sweetheart.
Hi, Maria.
- Okay. - Hello, darling.
- I'll get this one, Dr. Zepp. - Sure, sweetheart.
- I - I - - She's a great helper.
- Maybe they need water. - I think so.
- Here. - Here's a chair. Here.
Have you got a chair? You're a good girl.
That's a good girl.
Everybody sit down.
- Here's another chair. - Adolph, you sit here.
There you are.
Thank you.
Can I help you out, Maria?
- I'll get here. You get over there. - Zepp, you're here.
- Thank you. - Watch your bag.
Mabel.
Thank you, Tony.
- All right. - All right. Here we are.
Tina, we're ready. Stop acting like strangers. All right.
So, what was it like up there? Terrible?
Good? Bad? What?
Everybody's here.
Seems like a party.
You should have seen it before. We had 60 people here.
- Nobody thought it was a good idea to have a lot of people... - That's right.
but I thought it was a good idea.
'Cause I think friends are a good idea.
And good times are a good idea.
- Right, Zepp? - Right on.
- Right, Adolph? - Absolutely so.
You see?
I mean, uh, no sense talking about the past.
The past is the past. That's dead.
Forget about that.
Good times from now on.
That's what we're gonna have.
Things are gonna get better and better and better...
and then they'll get better than that, and then they'll get better.
Yea!
Tony, did you see that?
Did you see your mother wink at me?
- Could I have a cup of tea? - Yes, dear.
Tina's preparing some things in the kitchen, if you'd like.
I'm gonna go in there a minute.
Zepp, uh, do you think she's all right?
- She's a little crazy in - - Oh, Mama.
- The girl's fine. - They gave her a release, you know. They gave -
- Ma, but did you see her wink at me? - Yeah, I saw her.
- But something in her eyes, you know. - Tina.!
- Oh, no, don't. Don't. - You're so fat.!
- My God, girl.! You were 120 pounds when I left. - All right, Mama. That's enough.
You were- What happ- How did you get so fat?
Oh, Tina, you've gotta go to one of those places and take some of that off.
Look at your ass, Tina.! Oh, my God, Tina.!
That's fantastic.! That's- Did they see-
Did you see Tina's ass? Nick, that ass is as -
I've never seen anything so - Oh. Tha -
Her ass is this big, Nick. And when I went away it was - it was this big.
Did you see that ass? Did you see it?
You can hurt Tina's feelings by talking about her ass.
It's okay. I do have a big ass.
I wish I had some.
