but with Phil.

- Bye-bye, Joe.

- Arrivederci.

- Ciao, Frank.

- Ciao.

Good night, Mom and Dad. I'm leaving.

Joan, you let Ritchie drive you back

to New York.

Okay, Mother.

You can buy her a new book.

So what was Joan's story?

Ritchie's hair stopped

smelling like raisins.

That's it? That's her story?

- And she was shocked that you've strayed.

- For crying out loud.

- What did you have to tell her that for?

- It came out in passing.

- Why does she have to know our business?

- I was trying to make a point.

To err is human, to forgive divine.

All right.

- Arrivederci, Bea.

- Arrivederci, Pauline.

- Stupid Pauline.

- What are we going to do?

What can you do?

You live and learn.

- You got to take the good with the bad.

- What can you do?

- You live and learn.

- You raise a boy.

- You teach him values.

- That stupid Pauline.

Teach him a family.

- You got to take the good with the bad.

- Life is for the living.

I could have broken her head.

- I can understand her wanting to leave.

- That's how life is.

But I can't understand her leaving.

I think I'll have my wedding cake now.

I don't understand how you spend

half your life in the bathroom.

You followed him there...

- and shot him from behind a tree.

- That's enough. That story is ridiculous.

You'll make a fool of yourself.

A love-smitten analyst

playing a dream detective?

There've been no dreams for days.

You going to watch television

on our honeymoon night?

It's almost over.

You'll be identified by the man

that arrived.

There are people who saw you

on the train...

I'm not getting married.

Remember when I said to you,

"Mike, if I ask you to marry me...

"can I take it back if I want to?"

You said I could, didn't you?

I'm taking it back. That's all.

Taking it back.

Dr. Peterson was a rather stupid woman.
