Love with the Proper Stranger Page #2

...and if you didn't like it

you liked it anyway.

Take me, for example.

I met your papa, rest his soul,

on a Sunday, eh?

And on Tuesday you were married.

Yes. And what do I have,

such a terrible life for 32 years?

I hate to remind you about this...

...but today is not the Dark Ages

when you were a little girl.

Okay, today is the Light Ages, sure.

Ah, questa campanella...

All right, vengo, vengo.

I'm not here. That's all.

Angie! It's not nice.

- Hey, look who's here. How are you?

- I was just in the neighborhood...

Hi Tommy, nice to see you.

How are you doing?

Wait a minute, I'm going to get Angie.

- Angie, will you come on out.

- Oh, for crying out loud!

Can't I have any privacy in my house

even in the bathroom?

Is it gonna kill you just to say hello to him?

- Dominic, I've told you 400 times...

- What did you tell me, what?

- Hey, will you get out there and...

- Get out!

I've lived my whole life in this house and

never had a corner where I could put a turtle.

To put a cat or a little turtle.

Turtle, what turtle?

You want a turtle?

I want a room of my own.

What are you telling me?

You want a turtle, buy a turtle.

It's my own fault. It's my own fault.

It's me.

I'm a big girl, I make my own money.

Who says I have to live here

if I don't wanna live here?

And I don't wanna live here.

I'm gonna move out of this house tonight.

This time I really mean it.

- Hey, look who's here. Mr Columbo is here.

- I'm sorry, I mean uh...

...you know, excuse me for dropping in.

I just happened to be in the...

- We're gonna have some coffee.

- Come on, Angie, let's have a cup of coffee.

... I was in the neighborhood...

Darn it! Would you mind if I turn

the water off?

Come on, sit down.

You're just in time for a cup.

Oh, no, really, I couldn't.

I just...

- How's your mother?

- Oh, she...

Sit down.

Bye-bye everybody.

Have fun.

Don't put a dent on that truck

or I'll break your head.

I didn't see her all week.

So I seen your sister and I asked her.

- She tells me it's a virus or something?

- Yeah...

Poor thing,

everyday it's something new, eh?

They couldn't, you know, find anything...

...they took all the tests,

but she still got this, you know... pain

Come on, sit down.

I'll get you a cup of coffee.

And your other sister, how is she?

Is she out of the hospital?

Oh, next week, I think, well, you know...

Ask him would he like

a piece of cake or something.

- Would you like a piece of cake or something?

- No, no, I just came... Ooh!

- It's okay, it's okay.

- Oh, che peccato. Presto una spugna.

- It's all right.

- Spero non si ai brusciatto.

No, no, it's...

It's all right. Una piu, una meno.

- Angie!

- It's nothing.

I'll fix it.

So, how's everything in the

restaurant business?

You know, one day it's pretty good

and the next it's...

...uh, you know, it's...

Oh, look, let me do that.

You'll cut your finger...

No, no. I'll fix it.

Hey, Dominic, we go in the other room

and we close the door.

On the couch I wouldn't trust them

five minutes, but in the kitchen...

...what can happen?

Andiamo, va...

Why don't you sit down?

- Just...

- Sit down.

If I sit down,

I'll probably break the chair.

I don't know what it is.

You oughta see me during the day, I...

I got 15 hamburgers going,

I got franks in the grill...

...white down, wheat down...

...scramble a pair in a skillet.

I don't know.

With this hand I'm breaking lettuce.

I just don't know what it is.

All you have to do is just look at me and...

What's the matter?

What happened?

Look, I...

I better ask you what I...

You know...

Well, I... Anyhow, the thing is...

they're having this dance, you know...

...like a dance...

...over at the Sons of Garibaldi...

and I thought that uh...

Well, you probably got a date already,

probably.

This Saturday night?

This Saturday?

Tomorrow night?

I knew it. Well...

Listen, it's uh...

- Good night, everybody, I gotta...

- Where are you going? What's your hurry?

Listen, with the kind of help

you got to put up with these days...

...you're out of business

in a couple of hours.

I'll see you, Dom, Julie.

It's good to see you, Mrs Rossini.

Come again soon, eh?

- Listen, I'm sorry about...

- Oh, that's okay.

Next time.

Listen, what are you doing New year's Eve?

It's only nine months away.

I'm kidding you.

I'm joking. It's a big joke, huh?

I'm a big comedian.

Well...

Good night, Angie.

Good night, Anthony.

What are you doing?

Where are you going?

I'm old enough.

- Hey, will you stop that.

- No, no, let her go.

You wanna go? Go.

How many years have I got left in this world?

- Go, go, be happy.

- Mamma, she don't mean it.

I mean it! I mean it!

Go, be a mother in America.

Day and night you watch her, day and night.

You take her here, you meet her there.

Your whole life you're waiting in the truck...

...afraid maybe some lunatic

might grab her in the street.

For what? So that she go in the room

with a movie star on a horse?

I don't know. I tell you the truth.

On papa's grave

I don't understand what's so terrible.

What should I say? Go in the street?

Who cares about you?

I care about you. Do me something.

I love you.

Don't love me so much.

- Hey, America...

- I can't breathe.

How can I tell you?

Even if I didn't wanna do anything crazy.

Once, just once, I have to.

I really have to, just to keep from...

choking to death.

What are you talking about?

Every day you meet me in a truck.

What every day?

Three-four times a week you take me to lunch.

You will follow me around on a date,

you pick out on my boyfriends.

It's my job to protect you!

Well then why don't you protect Guido

for a change? Take him the lunch.

- Every night he goes out with all kinds of...

- Guido, Guido, Guido's a boy.

Who cares what he does?

Angelina, bella mia,

I love you.

All right, too much.

Go, go in the world by yourself

in a room.

Go, eat in a drugstore by yourself.

If that's want you want to make you happy...

...find yourself with strangers?

Go!

I'll go see her tomorrow.

We'll have a talk.

I'll find out what's the matter.

Take her out to lunch.

Actually, you know, this looks orange.

Yeah, they call it rust.

Well, you never can tell what

the manufacturer's going to say.

I wonder if you could show me

something else.

- Oh, yeah.

- Thank you, I'd appreciate that.

Hi.

What are you doing here?

What am I doing here?

Would you excuse me one moment, please?

You know how many people

are on the fifth floor at Macy's?

That's all you told me, Macy's,

fifth floor.

- I'm sorry. I thought I told you.

- Fifth floor you told, that's all, you know.

I'm sorry.

Pretty, pretty tweety.

C'mon, bite my finger.

Look, all I came to say was I made you

an appointment Sunday afternoon...

...and I got you a doctor, okay?

I'll write down the address and,

if you want, it's $400.

Got a piece of paper?

Four hundred dollars.

How much can you raise?
