and Frankie will be out
stealing something.
Stella,
maybe if Vito can cook
for a party like this-
for good?
They're not children
anymore.
Then you need to start
letting them do more
in the business.
Papa's tried, Mama.
He's tried.
Basta!
This is for Stephen and Danny.
We'll do it for them.
Come, Stella.
You'll buy a new dress, hmm?
Frankie said he wanted
to make you one.
You'll be
And you know who
I'll invite also?
The senator.
The senator.
Mm-hmm.
Well, Victor, let's see.
I, uh-
Pete, are you there?
Uh, it just isn't
a good night.
Yeah, you see,
I have this...
thing.
Pete?
No, Victor.
Pete, I wonder how my father
would handle this.
"Peter, do you know
"what you are to me
besides being my friend?
"You're like a bank,
a favor bank.
I put the favors in;
I take the favors out. "
What do you think, Pete?
Have I done favors for you?
Yes, Victor, but-
"Now, what would you say
if I put money in a bank,
"and when I tried
to take it out,
the banker told me I couldn't?"
Well, I-of course,
I would-
What happened to the money,
Pete?
Did it disappear?
Did it get up and walk away?
I mean,
if the money isn't there,
it's because someone stole it.
"The banker?
What do you think should happen
to such a person, Pete?
Well, I-I-I can't-
And don't be late.
Yes, Victor,
I look forward to it.
Right.
See you then.
Bye-bye.
I'm so glad the three of you
are finally meeting.
Jenny,
can we talk to you
for a second?
Do you ever think
about anybody but yourself?
What?
You never told us anything
about this relationship.
It's as if, mentally,
you've already left.
You two, what am I going
to do with you?
And we don't know
Is he even nice to you?
He's very nice to me.
You don't know
what men are like.
She doesn't know
what men are like.
But if he wants trouble-
We'll give him
trouble.
Kill him.
I swear
we'll kill him.
You think
we're kidding?
We'll mess him up.
And there's nothing you can say
that will stop us.
Oh, you two.
We love you, Jenny.
Damon.
Congratulations.
Welcome to the family.
You've got to cancel,
Senator.
You'll be crucified
in the media.
Well, Jesus
was crucified too.
Okay, but I'm going with you
to that dinner.
Understood?
Tim-
I am going with you
to that dinner.
Hmm?
Well, what did I tell you?
Stephen and Danny,
aren't they great?
Yeah, they sure do talk.
Well, they do more
than just talk.
What's the matter?
It's just, this is all
so new to me,
this atmosphere
of violence.
Well, good morning,
you two.
Good morning,
Mom.
Morning, boys.
Please don't feed him
from the table, Mom.
I could get used
to having a maid around.
Please don't feed him
from the table, Mom.
Monty, corner.
You two got in late
last night.
We were working.
Till 3:
00 in the morning?It was a big job.
You told us you didn't have
any parties this week.
Well, this one came up
at the last minute.
It was an emergency.
An emergency party?
We should really
get going.
What are you
working on today?
Oh, the usual.
Salads, stews.
Coffee.
Pomegranates.
You know.
Ooh!
Stephen.
Who's there?
Stephen, honey.
Mom, what is it?
I have a question to ask you.
May I come in?
I can hear you just fine.
Well, I can't hear you.
Can I come in?
It's a mess in here.
Come downstairs.
We can't, Mom;
we're in a hurry.
Of all the foolish-
We've got a-
Why is this door locked?
Mom, we've got
all our stuff in here.
It's kind of private.
Ada, can't this wait till later?
I know what they must be doing.
At this hour?
They said they had to leave.
That maid of theirs
is with them.
We're not in Indiana anymore.
Two words, honey:
puh-lease.
Two words, honey:
please.
Two words, honey:
puh-lease!
Two words, honey:
please?
Ooh, ooh!
Can I try?
Yes, come on.
Two words, honey:
puh-lease!
Eggshell.
I said eggshell.
Does this look
like eggshell to you?
I can't make napkins
from this.
I mean, you know how some
gay men call each other "her. "
"Forget her. " Her.
"Such a queen. "
What about lesbians?
Do they use "him"?
"Forget him. "
"He's such a king. "
Richard, do you mind sitting
next to Cynthia St. Charles?
Or Freddie the Chin.
Now, about that dinner.
I've got to go
It's a benefit.
You're going to make it,
aren't you?
Well, I'll be late.
Figure around 10:00.
Well, don't be
too late.
It's going to be a blast.
His truth
is marching on.
Glory, glory,
hallelujah.
You sure you want to do this?
Vito, we can handle it;
we want to help,
and we should know something
about the food
in case Stephen's parents
ask about it.
Okay.
Now, the most complicated part
of the dinner
is the dessert.
Ricotta cheesecake.
Now, I'm going to go see
if the ricotta's here.
Meanwhile, you can start
by heating this up.
Uh, Vito?
Uh, just nuke it.
In the microwave.
Maybe it's this one:
"meal reheat. "
I mean, they have
to have heated it
before they
condensed it, right?
Yeah.
Whoa, whoa.
Think we should put them in
with the wrappers?
Yeah, why not?
Vito,
are we supposed
to put the cans in
with the wrappers,
without the wrappers,
or doesn't it really
make a difference?
I bet it doesn't make
a difference.
What?
Thanks for doing this again,
Vito.
No, no,
we're really sorry.
Hey, it's my fault.
Okay, next time,
it's going to be different,
'cause
we're totally psyched.
Psyched.
Great.
Okay, look.
I've been thinking
about it, guys.
And you shouldn't waste
your time on dessert.
I mean, after all,
it's only dessert, right?
You should work
on the important stuff,
Okay, now, you start
by boiling the eggs.
Three minutes.
No, no, no.
Now, you see,
this is why it was my fault.
You use this pan.
Now, you wait
until the water is boiling,
and then you take the eggs,
and you add them.
Three minutes.
Now, after the eggs
are boiled,
you take the goose liver.
It's very expensive.
And then you mash it in
with the eggs, okay?
Boil the eggs-
And mash in
the goose liver.
That's it.
So what do we use
to do the mashing?
Call me
when you're done.
Papa loves mambo.
Mama loves mambo.
Look at them sway with it,
getting so gay with it,
shouting "ole" with it.
Wow.
Papa loves mambo.
Ah, that's a good one.
Papa does great with it,
swings like a gate with it.
He goes...
How are you guys doing?
Shh.
No problem.
He goes fast.
She goes slow.
He goes left.
She goes right.
Done?
It's mashed.
Mama is nowhere in sight.
Uh!
There he is,
my boy!
You made it.
When God is on
your side, son...
What?
Nothing.
Dear, your father is tired
after a long trip.
Who are all those people?
People?
