To get his advice, vice, vice

But he didn't have any, any, any

So they went back home, home, home

And didn't come back, back, back...

With silver buttons, buttons, buttons

All down her back, back, back

Rosalie, listen to this.

It says here some woman was eaten alive

by her own houseplants.

Can you imagine?

Mama, want more coffee?

If not, I'm gonna throw it out.

Oh, no. Go ahead. Throw it out.

Otherwise,

I'll be in the bathroom all night.

Remember how your father

used to drink a big cup of black coffee...

...every night right before bed?

- Yeah, boiling hot too.

- With four sugars.

Very sweet.

Just like him.

You know...

...I miss him every day.

I forget almost everything

I hate about him.

Yeah, I know. I miss him too.

I got it.

He jumped so high, high, high

He hit the sky, sky, sky

- Hey, Devo.

- Hello.

Come on in.

How you doing?

I'm doing good.

I was just gonna catch the end

of the ball game. Wanna watch?

Oh, no, thank you. I think I'll visit

with Rosalie and Mama Nadja.

- Sure. They're in the kitchen.

- Thank you.

What do I do?

You reach in the bag

and take out a rune.

- Any one?

- Well, they're all beautiful, you'll see.

What are they, runes?

They're very spiritual stones.

They have metaphysical powers.

And what do they do?

It wouldn't say-

Well, they tell you where you're at.

- I'm at home.

- We're right here. What are you saying?

No, spiritually.

Spiritually, they tell you where you're at.

I don't know if I should.

I'm a Catholic.

- They're not against God or anything.

- Go ahead. Try it.

- What can it hurt?

- Okay.

Oh, this is a good one.

I love this one.

This is strength.

- Strength?

- Yes.

Fast break! Fast break!

Looking good.

Yes! Yes!

Non dimenticar means

Don't forget you are my darling

"The rune of replacement and renewal,

suggesting that the time has come...

...to change the life you're living. "

- It doesn't say that. Let me see.

- Sure it does. Look.

Think I made that up?

No, but I know you.

I know what you think.

Rosalie, bring me a beer, will you?

I think you should let him

get his own beer.

I don't mind. He works hard.

I like taking care of him.

There's such a thing

as women's liberation.

- She doesn't have to be a slave.

- That's right.

Last week on TV, I heard about a woman

who stabbed her husband 27 times.

Because he refused to put the top

back on the mustard jar.

Yeah, 27 times.

Can you imagine?

We got any peanuts or pretzels,

something to munch on?

No, I think we're out.

We're always out. My mama's house,

there's always plenty food to eat.

Maybe you should live with her.

- Don't be sarcastic.

- Don't be a nudge.

Don't call me that nudge thing.

Come on. I'm Italian. I like to eat.

I'm Yugoslavian.

I don't like to cook, especially for nudges.

- Yeah, don't call me a nudge.

- Nudge, nudge, nudge.

Give me those shoes.

- You going out again tonight?

- Hey, Rosalie, come on.

What? I haven't said anything.

I work every day. All day.

Okay? Every day.

At night, I like to relax,

go out, have fun, you know.

I thought you were staying home.

What for?

What for? I don't know.

Who knows?

Well, like what?

Well, for one thing,

we got paperwork.

Paperwork.

The monthly bills, the insurance,

the mortgage, the phone bill.

I'm going out.

Ms. Mary Mac, Mac, Mac

At the discotheque, theque, theque

I'm gonna get her, her, her

Down on her back, back, back

Vodka, please.

- Mickey, that's on me.

- You got it, Joey.

Joey Boca's my name.

And you know what?

I know something about you.

Yeah? What do you know about me?

I know you never been in here

before in your life.

Really? How do you know?

Maybe I have.

If you had,

I would have known about it.

People would have talked about it.

Like, "Joey, you see what was in here

the other night? My God, what a beauty. "

It's true. No, someone like you

doesn't come around that often.

It's like a national holiday.

Know what I mean? You don't forget it.

Listen, I appreciate the drink,

but I'm with someone.

Someone very lucky.

I wish I could be that lucky.

I look at you and I say to myself,

"My God, the man who gets to walk...

...with this woman

must feel like a king on earth. "

Here's to you.

- I guess I better get back.

- Show me your boyfriend.

I wanna see him with my own eyes...

...so I can spend the rest of my life

wishing I was him.

He's sitting in the corner. Over there.

Not the one in the yellow shirt?

Yeah, that's him.

- No.

- Yeah.

- No.

- Yeah, that's him.

Why?

You expect me to believe

that a beauty like you...

...a woman any man

would die to be with...

...is throwing herself away

on someone like that?

You could have anyone. Anyone.

Why would you take him?

He's not my boyfriend or anything.

I just came here with him.

I'm not in love with him or anything.

Of course not.

How could you be?

- Is he gonna watch, or what?

- Does it bother you?

Well, I'm Italian, you know.

I can't make love to a woman

with a German shepherd in the room.

It's awkward for him.

You can't?

Excuse me.

Here you go. Attaboy.

I can't figure it out.

A young, good-looking guy like you...

...how come you're always

hanging out with Rosalie?

I enjoy her company.

You're not moving in on my wife?

No, of course not.

What are you, kidding?

That's ludicrous.

You're being ridiculous.

What's ridiculous?

- There's nobody like Rosalie.

- Right.

- She's the best.

- Exactly. I can't believe you're saying that.

Why not? She's my wife.

Yeah, I know. I look at other women.

Okay. So what?

That's only natural. I'm a human man.

It don't hurt Rosalie.

How can you say that?

Even if she knows, she don't care.

That's how she is.

Oh, yeah?

Well, that's pure projection.

- Pure what?

- Projection.

It's projection, what you want to think.

- What I want to think?

- Yeah, it makes you feel good...

...to think that she's happy.

Yeah!

As long as she's happy, I'm happy.

I'm glad we understand each other.

Well, me too.

- I hear Spino took off to Bellingham?

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

- Gotta go, man.

Okay, take it easy, Billy.

How do you know these weird people?

That guy was in prison with my brother.

My first boyfriend had a Harley.

Rocco Jacobs.

What a piece of work he was.

- We used to go fast.

- Maybe I should get a bike.

Sure. Why not? Drives the girls crazy.

I was wild back then.

- So, what happened to Rocco?

- Joey Boca happened.

He said, "Hey, I'm Joey. Wanna go out?

What are you doing with that jerk?"

As soon as I saw Joey,

I knew he was the one.

So fast?

- Sure, fast. I do what I feel.

- Then, you must have felt suicidal.

Shut up.

Someday, you're gonna find

a wonderful woman...

...and you'll drive her crazy

with this big motorcycle.

I found myself a wonderful woman,

but she's married.

Devo, you're good for my ego.

- You gotta meet somebody your own age.

- Why?

Your heart doesn't know

how old you are.

- Hi, is Joey around?
