Um... I'm really glad to see you.

I'm happy to see you.

- Is this your car?

- After 24 payments, it will be.

Did you get the letters?

15 letters.

And a Christmas card, a get-well card,

a joyous Easter, and two Valentines.

That's about right.

Iris, I...

just got me a comprehensive health plan

and three different credit cards.

I got my eye on a house in Detroit.

It's old. It needs paint.

It's got about six bedrooms.

It's got only one bathroom.

- You listening?

- To every word.

I'd like you and the kids to live there.

Stanley, are you proposing to me?

I suppose I am.

You know what you're taking on?

There were seven visits

to the doctor last year, five to the dentist,

and winter coats,

summer coats, tennis shoes.

We're a noisy family, Stanley.

We've got a lot of arguments,

baby crying, a lot of TV.

You sure you wanna take this on?

I'm here.

Oh!

Oh!

Come here.

- Is there a school?

- Two blocks away.

Only one bathroom for five people?

You think we could knock down a wall?

Iris, anything is possible.

Harriet Frank Jr.

Harriet Frank Jr. (born March 2, 1917) is an American film writer and producer. Working alongside her husband, Irving Ravetch, Frank received numerous awards during her lengthy career, including the New York Film Critics Circle Awards and the Writers Guild of America Award, and several nominations. Frank began her writing career after World War II, under Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's young writer's training program, where she first met her future husband. She married Ravetch in 1946 but worked independently for ten years, finally collaborating with him in 1957, a relationship that continued for the remainder of her career. During 33 years of collaboration, they created the screenplays for a variety of films, mainly adaptations of the works of American authors. Frank and Ravetch maintained a close working relationship with director Martin Ritt throughout their career, collaborating with him on eight occasions; after initially being suggested by Ravetch to direct The Long, Hot Summer (1958), Ritt would eventually draw the couple out of inactivity on three occasions, hiring them to write the screenplays for Norma Rae (1979), Murphy's Romance (1985) and Stanley & Iris (1990). The latter was both the last film directed by Ritt (who died later that year) and the last for which Frank and Ravetch wrote the screenplay. Frank is one of the "leading characters" in the 2017 memoir The Mighty Franks: A Memoir, written by her nephew Michael Frank, an essayist and short-story writer; the book was critically acclaimed by many international publications. more…
