Let's have a little warmth here.

Tina, you ready?

We're ready.

Go on in, Doc. Come on.

- [ Grandma ] Maybe they need water.

- I think so.

- Here.

- [ George ] Here's a chair. Here.

Have you got a chair?

You're a good girl.

[ Margaret ]

That's a good girl.

Everybody sit down.

- Here's another chair.

- [ Margaret ] Adolph, you sit here.

There you are.

Thank you.

Can I help you out, Maria?

- I'll get here. You get over there.

[ Margaret ]

Mabel.

[ Maria ]

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.

[ Mabel ]

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.

[ Hits Table ]

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.

[ Children ]

Yea!

Tony, did you see that?

Did you see your mother wink at me?

- Could I have a cup of tea?

- [ Margaret ] Yes, dear.

Tina's preparing some things

in the kitchen, if you'd like.

I'm gonna go in there a minute.

[ Tony Whispers ]

[ Margaret ]

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.

- [ Mabel ] Tina.!

- Oh, no, don't. Don't.

- [ Mabel ] You're so fat.!

- My God, girl.!

You were 1 20 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.

Well, there's nothing like 'em.

They're all beautiful. Fat or small.

- [ Margaret ] Don't worry about the asses.

- [ Angelo ] Can I have some water?

[ Margaret ] Mabel. I've got a big ass.

She has a big ass.

Mommy has a big -

We all have big asses. So what?

[ Grandma ]

Did you hear that? Isn't she a b*tch?

- [ Zepp ] Aunt Betty has got a small one.

I - I wish -

I wish you'd all... go home.

[ Margaret ] Oh, we came for a party.

We'd like to stay for a party.

How am I doin'? Okay.

Listen, I really wish

that you would go home, though...

because Nick and I

do want to go to bed together.

You know, we can't talk or anything

while you're still here.

[ Nick ]

Now, watch your language.

- [ Grandma ] George, I think we should go.

I told you to sit down.

It's not the right time.
