Mystic Pizza

- Trs Mulheres, Trs Amores -

Oh, God.

Be seated.

We're gathered here to witness and bless

the joining together forever of William

and Josephina in Christian marriage.

The firm covenant of marriage

is permanent in this lifetime,

because it was established by God.

And once entered into,

it may never be broken

without risk of eternal damnation.

So I ask you now, in the presence

of God, family and friends,

to declare your intentions to enter

a permanent union with one another

for as long as you both

shall draw breath on this earth.

- Josephina.

- Jo!

Jesus Christ. Jojo!

- Hey, look out.

- Think I got eyes in my butt?

That's where your brains are.

- Daisy!

- Yeah.

Think we might get that pizza served

while it's still hot?

I think maybe.

Mr Lopes left his teeth again.

I need a coffee cup, Manny.

Jesus Christ! These shoes are killing me.

Corns at 20. Can you believe it?

Come on. D'you have to talk that way?

- Yeah, Dais. Watch your mouth.

- Oh, excuse me, Holy Mother.

What I meant to say was,

these f***ing shoes are killing me.

Put a lid on it, Daisy.

Thank you.

Tourists!

Excuse me. May I have my coffee now?

Jo, what are you doing here?

I am getting out of that house.

My father just put himself 5,000 bucks in

the hole to watch his daughter pass out.

- He is just a little pissed off.

- I thought it was pretty funny.

- Daisy! Hey, Jo.

- Hi.

Well, it was a first for St Mary's, anyway.

I saw myself ten years from now.

Fat and ugly, and all these kids

swarming around me,

and then I was picking

fish scales out of Bill's boot.

Sounds about on target.

- But I did do the right thing, didn't I?

- Sure.

Jo, the only reason to get married

is to get the hell out of Mystic.

- How's Bill taking it?

- He's still not talking to me.

- Get ready to talk, Jo.

- Hey, check it out.

- Only kidding, man.

- Shut up, you a**hole!

Come on, Bill.

Let's go outside and talk, OK?

Please. Bill, please.

I wanna talk to you. Let's just go outside.

Dirtbag.

- So what happened, Jo?

- I don't know.

I just, you know...

I just... When I actually

got up there to do it,

I just couldn't, Bill. I just couldn't.

Bill, it's not that I don't love you.

Because I do, Bill.

I really, really, really do.

You know, I walk into this place,

and everybody stares at me.

Let 'em stare.

- Are you OK?

- Yeah.

- And everything's better now?

- Yeah.

So how does November 21st sound?

I don't know. Let's just talk about it later.

- Kiss Mom for me.

- No. I'll be late for my interview.

- Well, then you better hurry.

- I've been three times this week already.

Well, Kat... four, and you go to heaven.

"Kat's such a good girl."

"Where did we go wrong

with her sister Daisy?"

Honey, you'd do just fine

if you just used your head a little more.

Yeah, well, don't worry about me.

I'm not gonna be slingin' pizza

for the rest of my life.

The best pizza.

Hey, Ma. Sausage today.

Oh, great! Ladies, we're gonna eat

soon as we finish this tote.

Hey, Kat. Come on, sit down. Have some.

No, I gotta go.

I got an interview out on Shore Road.

- Another job?

- Yeah, baby-sitting.

You do too much.

Kat's got four jobs already.

- I need the money.

- Kat's been accepted to Yale University.

She got a scholarship

and she's startin' in February.

A part-scholarship.

So you got a boyfriend yet?

Got no time for boys.

Kat, I got a great idea.

Hey, Silvio! You got a job

for my smart kid?

- Terrific, Ma. Bye.

- Bye, honey. Thanks for the pizza.

Where does she get her energy?

All those jobs, and a straight-A student...

- Hello?

- Come on in.

- Katherine?

- Kat.

Hi. Tim Travers.

My daughter did the decorating.

Phoebe, come on down, sweetheart.

Oh, wow! An old Van Cort.

Oh, yeah. I guess it came with the house.

- Are you into stargazing?

- Actually, this is a nautical telescope.

But it's a lot better

than the one I have at home.

- I'm going to take astronomy at college.

- Yeah? What college?

Yale. I start second semester.

Yale, huh? Me, too. Class of '79.

And this beautiful redhead is Phoebe.

Phoebe, this is Kat.

Hi, Phoebe.

How old are you, Phoebe?

- Come on. You know how old you are.

- Six.

Four. Forgive her. She's had a hard week.

Her mother left for England yesterday.

What I'm looking for

is someone to help me out.

Not full time, just until my wife gets back.

Excuse me.

OK, come on, sweetheart.

Hello?

Yeah. Hi, Mrs Farley.

Oh, we got off

to a good start this morning.

Yeah, we knocked down

that wall heading into the...

Glass brick?

Yeah, well...

I like glass brick too, Mrs Farley,

but it doesn't go with your house.

But...

But we've had long talks about staying in

the tradition of the Connecticut house.

- Of course I'll talk to your decorator.

- Do you want to read this with me?

It's time to turn the page, though.

Do you want to turn the page here?

OK. Here we go.

"She was quite the loveliest fairy

in the whole world."

"Her dress was like golden dewdrops,

and there were flowers in her hair."

"And her face was like

the most perfect flower of all."

"She came close to the little rabbit

and kissed him on his velvet nose..."

Well, you certainly

seem to have the touch.

I've been baby-sitting since I was nine.

- I'm nine.

- No, you're not. Do you drive, Kat?

Yeah.

Is there a history of insanity in the family?

They say it skips a generation.

- When can you start?

- Anytime.

Read.

Read.

"'Little rabbit, don't you know who I am?"'

I smell like a couple of buckets of fish.

What you got in there?

- A couple of buckets of fish.

- Terrific.

It's Romeo and Juli-e-et!

- Those boys talkin' to me?

- No, I don't think they is.

- Oh, boy. Uh-oh.

- What?

Come on, Bill. Let's just drink,

and beat 'em up later.

- Hey, John.

- Hey, Daisy.

- Who's buyin'?

- I'll buy.

- Winnin' any?

- No.

- Got a smoke for me, Jo?

- Yeah.

- OK, what do you wanna drink?

- White wine?

I'll have white wine too, please.

- George?

- Lite.

Can I get two white wines,

two beers, and one of 'em lite?

Dais?

Oh, he is cute.

Yeah, if you like white bread.

Rich white bread.

Ladies? Here you go.

For you.

Look at that punk. I would look

good in a coat like that, huh?

OK, let's get some action goin', huh?

Ten bucks says

I get three bull's-eyes in a row.

Make it fifty.

And, between throws, off a shot of tequila.

- Three tequilas.

- This guy's nuts.

Yeah.

He said that he could hit three

in the bull's-eye. Can you do that?

I can do the three shots of tequila.

George.

Three in a row.

Starting now.

No way.

All right, I'll take that fifty.

Yes, sir! Thank you.

Let's play some pool.

It's not that I don't like playing pool.

- But why can't we do it at my house?

- Lorna?

No! I'm the worst. Really.

Excuse me.

Do you play?

Sure.

OK. Why don't you break 'em?

Sorry, partner.

OK. It's our turn, sweetheart.

Right, here's what we want.

Right down here, honey.

The one with the orange stripe.
