But Grandpa's gonna come stay

with us for a little while.

- Yea!

- Yea!

A sleepover with Grandpa! Yea!

Sharon never separated the wash,

the whites were always gray.

- But you have that magic touch, Sweetheart.

- Yeah.

- Can I give this to you?

- Yeah, I'll take care of it, yea.

- Gotcha back.

- You can put 'em on my ledgers

- and all that stuff, the accounting...

- I know, I'll get them to you later, Dad.

- Love you, Grandpa.

- Love you.

I did your taxes, I did your W-2's.

You suck!

- What is he doing here?

- Sharon brought him back.

So, he's gonna stay with us

until he finds a new love or...

a new place to live.

You know how this goes.

Joy, I can't have your father here.

What do you wanna want me to do,

Tony, I have to work.

I know, Sweetheart, but your father's a nightmare,

we're gonna kill him... I can't...

I can't take it anymore, NITWIT!

That's the end of it!

Dad! Up!

I will KILL myself! I don't like any

of this! I don't like this!

This is not the proper way to be divorced,

the two of you.

You're gonna tell me

how to be divorced?

I'm a provider, Tom Jones,

I have my own business, I help Joy

with the mortgage. What are you doing?

You sing all night at

Angela Starpoli's club,

You get repeatedly fired

from Campbell's Soup...

Okay, well,

I'm gonna divide the basement.

I'm divorced,

I can do whatever I want, Rudy.

This is not the proper way

to be divorced.

I'll am about to be late for work,

so please,

try not to fight in front

children, okay?

Especially not physically.

Rudy, do you see this?

This microphone here?

You touch it, and I kill you.

I'm leaving, please, try not to

kill each of while I'm gone.

You've gone mad,

this is all YOUR fault!

Clarinda, Clarinda!

- Don't.!

- Clarinda.

Something terrible happened!

Stay away from him!

Oh, God, I have to fix this.

- Nice job, Joy, nice job.

- Peggy?

What are you doing here?

What's the matter with

you sending Grandma Mimi

and her arthritis to take them

to their friend's birthday?

I'm fine!

You had a much better time with

me anyway, with Aunt Peggy.

Uh-uh! But I wasn't stupid enough to get into

a bad marriage and have a couple of kids.

Don't bother your sister.

I'm here to talk to Dad about business.

All right?

You gonna come bring the

books by the garage later?

Yeah, I'm gonna bring 'em later.

- He's in the basement.

- I know that you're here, I'm joking.

Yeah, I know.

Kids, we're gonna do

somethin' fun later, okay?

We're doin' somethin' fun now.

Well, we found your luggage,

but it's in Cleveland,

So now we just need to get

it back to New York City.

I'm filing a complaint.

My husband needs

his medication.

What's your name? Joy?

- You don't seem joyous today.

- Perhaps I'm not so joyous today.

Joy, I think you're being too hard.

Listen,

I need you to speak to your supervisor.

We're gonna be having some changes, and

you're going to be going to the night hours.

- Night? I was still making...

- We're having cutbacks.

- Joy, I'm sorry.

- Goodbye, nice to meet you.

I'm not payin'

for metal that I haven't gotten.

And on top of me, he says,

ya know, he wants to get paid,

he doesn't send an invoice and

he hasn't even sent the metal.

Why doesn't he just send the invoice?

Send the invoice, I'll pay him.

Yeah, that's it,

send the invoice.

Hi, Dad, I want to thank you again

for helping with the mortgage.

- It's okay.

- I, um...

- settled the accounts, balanced the books.

- Thank you.

I'm sorry business is so bad, Dad, but I don't

think that crazy gun range is helping.

How is that still legal?

- What can I do?

- After all these years.

I mean, they keep to themselves, it's

their property, the police leave 'em alone.

- Why, you think it's costing us business?

- I don't think it's helping.

Well, if you want to help, why don't you

come here and manage this place?

Ya know, I'd like to go to the next level,

put on a nice suit, ya know,

go out there and get some accounts.

- Yeah, this is 9873, just checking my mailbox.

- What is that?

Yeah, I have a pen,

what is it?

13, 14, that's it? Thank you.

What was that?

- It's a... 900 number.

- What's a 900 number?

It's a, ya know, a dating service for...

widows and widowers.

A dating service?

- You're not a widow or a widower.

- What's the difference, I'm single.

I meet nice ladies,

maybe we fall in love.

I have to fall in love or I'm

not interested, you know me.

I know, Dad.

Joan was no good for him, it's nice to have to

need somebody new, I got him some new clothes.

- Okay, okay, sounds good.

- Hello, is this 7633?

- I'll be seeing you.

- Yes.

- G'bye.

- Hi, this is 9833.

- Oh! Hi! How... How are you?

- What a nice voice you have.

- Thank you.

- You have an accent.

- Oh, yes, I am from Italy.

- Oh, continental.

- What is your name?

- My name is Rudy, what's yours?

Trudy.

- Are you kidding?

- No.

- Your name is Trudy?

- Yes.

Rudy and Trudy, I love it.

Let's figure out when we're gonna meet.

That's a good idea,

let's have dinner.

I can come pick you up.

- I have a green Mercedes.

- Okay, 6:
30, I'll be ready.

Ciao!

- Good luck with your date, Dad.

- Thank you, I'm excited.

What do you think

you're gonna wear?

Polo by Ralph Lauren.

Do you have to use a

whole bottle of cologne?

- Tony!

- You smell like my grandmother.

He smells like my grandmother.

Hey, please, don't make me tense,

don't stress me out.

- Gotta stay nice and loose.

- Are you tense?

- I'm tense, you're makin' me tense.

- Dad, stop!

- I'm making you tense?

- Please.

- My carriage awaits.

- Have a great date.

- Wish me luck.

- You don't need it.

- Joy, water!

- Where are my cufflinks?

Mommy, come read to me!

Five minutes, Chris.

Mother AGAIN?

Yeah, just sit right there.

Are you comfortable?

How many times do I have to tell you

not to clean the

brushes out in the sink!

Danica thinks it's un-ladylike to toss

things in the toilet and I happen to agree.

Yeah? Well, better you have

Danica do your plumbing then, huh?

Danica directs her power

anywhere Danica chooses.

That's the power of Danica.

Oh, God, if this problem gets any worse, we're

gonna have to move you into a different room.

That means no TV.

it can be very scary for you.

Oh, don't let that happen,

Joy, this is my comfort nest.

- We're gonna need to get a plumber in here.

- What?

There's... a man in... in my room?

Well, I don't know any female

plumbers other than me.

- Well, can't you fix it, Joy?

- This has surpassed my capabilities.

Thanks, Joy.

The cicada's a large, flying insects

two to three inches long,

and makes a sound of up to 120 decibels,

louder than some telephones.

It lives half its life above

ground evading predators.

This is the book you wanted me to read to you,

Christie Anna? This book didn't get into the house?

Aunt Peggy got it for me,

she says that the reason I like cicadas,

is because they fill

the air with sound,
