Friends and Family Page #8

Synopsis: Children and parents. In New York City, Stephen and Danny live well: they're smooth, cool, in love, and good at what they do. Stephen's Midwestern parents pay them a surprise visit. Meanwhile, Jenny and Damon tell their parents they are engaged: Matt's parents, Midwestern paramilitary fanatics, take it as a sign to gather their group to invade New York. Jenny's father is the local Mob boss who employs Stephen and Danny as enforcers. He's unhappy that Jenny is marrying someone who is neither Sicilian nor Catholic. Stephen's parents know he's gay, they just don't know what his job is. Here come the parents; will the children survive? All roads lead to the engagement party.

No one's going

to disrespect you.

Now, take your ass

on over there.

You don't want to have

to make me go myself, do you?

Stephen, look-

No, no, no,

it's not a good time now.

Go away.

That Stephen guy

was very disrespectful.

He told me to go away

and leave him alone.

Miss Thing told you what?

To go away

and leave him alone.

Okay, do we all know

what we're doing?

Okay,

let's do it.

Is this going to work?

Yeah, it's going to work,

because we are going

to grow old together.

Where're you going, sweetheart.

You're done,

Mr. Jennings.

Danny!

Are you all right?

Dad.

Sir.

Stephen and I

want you to know

that we understand.

If you have a job to do-

Job? What job?

I'm retired.

Remember?

It's my birthday.

if you're undercover.

Retired?

What are you going to do?

Actually, a carpet salesman

for real.

A carpet salesman?

I've had to learn a lot

about it for my cover.

Really quite interesting.

Here I am.

Oh, hi, sweetheart.

Actually, I have

some ideas for your place.

All right, officer.

All right.

This has been

the worst day.

Worst day of my life.

You!

You ruined my dinner!

You ruined my revolution!

Why did he say

the dinner was ruined?

I thought it was very good.

So did I.

To tell you the truth,

Mr. Grayson,

being gay was fun and all,

but after a while...

Yeah, I mean,

after a while,

I felt like I was

the purple teletubby.

Oh, please.

As if a gay man would ever have

a body like that.

Was he just calling me fat?

Mom, Dad, all I ask is that

you not make any judgments

till you get to know the people

we work for a little better.

Well, that Stella that

I talked to seemed very nice.

So tell me, honestly,

what surprised you more?

Finding out

about me and Stephen

or finding out that your husband

works for the FBl?

Danny, I haven't-

Oh, God.

I'm so sorry.

Well, I just thought that-

Jack.

Stephen,

why didn't you stop me?

Did you really think

I didn't know?

How could I not know

with that great big Uzi

sitting in the cellar?

Why would he say that

to me?

You think I'm fat?

Girlfriend,

if the pumps fit.

B*tch.

Damon.

We've been speaking

with Don Patrizzi.

He's become

very interested in you

and your future role

in the family.

Future role

in the family?

You're going to be spending

a lot more time

with Danny and me.

Gee, well, you know,

thanks, guys,

but I don't want

to be a bother.

And, you know,

I already have a job.

God, honey,

you look exhausted.

Why don't you let

my parents take you home?

I'm going to stay here

and finish things up

with the boys, okay?

Damon?

Damon.

Hurry on down

to my house, baby.

Ain't nobody home but me.

Hurry on down...

What are you doing?

Remember what Bruno said?

If something's perfect,

you have to create a flaw

so as not to offend

the gods.

I love you.

And you love me.

So as not to offend

the gods.

Hurry through the alley.

Stephen? Danny!

Good night!

Good night, Mom.

Night, Dad.

Love you.

Wait a minute;

the drag queens.

We didn't see any of them

do their acts.

Stephen!

Stephen!

Something's got

a hold on me, yeah.

Oh, it must be love.

Oh, something's got a hold

on me right now, child.

Oh, it must be love.

Let me tell you, now,

I've got a feeling.

I feel so strange.

Everything about me

seems to have changed.

Step by step,

I got a brand-new walk.

I even sound sweeter

when I talk.

I said, oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh!

Oh.

Hey, hey, yeah.

Oh, it must be love.

You know it must be love.

Let me tell you, now,

something's got

a hold on me, yeah.

Oh, it must be love.

Oh, something's got a hold

on me right now, child.

Oh, it must be love.

Let me tell you, now.

I've never felt

like this before.

Something's got a hold on me

that won't let go.

Believe I'd die

if I only could.

I feel so strange,

but it sure is good.

I said, oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh!

Oh.

Hey, hey, yeah.

Oh, it must be love.

You know it must be love.

Let me tell you, now.

My heart feels happy.

My feet feel light.

I shake all over,

but I feel all right.

I never felt

like this before.

Something's got a hold on me

that won't let go.

I never thought

it could happen to me.

Got me happy

when I'm in misery.

I never thought

it could be this way.

Love's sure gone

and put a hurting on me.

I said, oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh!

Oh.

Hey, hey, yeah.

Oh, it must be love.

You know it must be love.

You know it walks like love.

You know it walks like love.

It talks like love.

You know it talks like love.

Make me feel all right.

Make me feel all right.

In the middle

of the night.
