The First Wives Club Page #8

Honey... What's going on?

I can't handle more surprises today.

Oh, Daddy...

I'm a lesbian...

A big one.

Gentlemen, We've brought you

here today for a specific reason.

This is not about

retaliation or negotiation -

- and this is not about

men versus Women.

What is it then?

I'm sick of this, OK.

- Please don't make her mad.

- No, no, this is not a revenge thing.

This is about justice.

Halfway through this operation

We realized -

- the only people Who'd be

helped by revenge Would be us.

- We'd be no better than you.

- Happier but no better.

Exhilarated but no better!

Ecstatic but no better!

So We thought again.

A very dear friend of ours

died from neglect.

You're going to help us make

sure that never happens again.

- Like hell We are.

- Can't make us.

No... but Vito can. Joey can.

And Uncle Carmine can.

- What do We have to do?

- You have to pay.

The funny thing was when we finally

had our ex'sjust where we wanted -

- revenge didn't seem so important.

So, we came up

with something better.

It's an important day here

in NeW York City for all Women -

- at the opening of the Cynthia Griffin

Crisis Center for Women.

It's an amazing facility and I'm

here talking to three amazing Women.

Please tell me about your facility.

This center is dedicated in memory

to our very dear friend Cynthia Swann.

We plan on offering counseling -

- family therapy and, of course,

abuse intervention for all.

So many Women are

in need here in Manhattan.

Can I ask Whether it's true that the

idea for this center started because -

- each of you had a husband

that left you for a younger Woman?

Yes, yes.

They really are amazing Women.

Good for you!

Congratulations for all the great Work.

NeW York thanks you.

I'm asking you as a favor.

Come in for one minute With me.

- We have to talk about the Wedding.

- What are you talking about?

- You Won't even set a date.

- Exactly.

Because this isn't Working.

I am not feeling special.

I am not feeling loved.

And noW this place.

Morty, I am not Brenda.

- No, you're not!

- Duh!

Lvana...

I want to thank you

for coming so much.

- You're an angel.

- Of course, Elise.

Thank you so much again.

Ladies, you have to be strong

and independent.

- And remember?

- What?

Don't get mad.

Get everything!

- Mrs. Goldberg?

- Yes.

Carmine Morelli...

Brenda's uncle.

- Yes, of course.

- Nice to meet you.

What a Wonderful occasion!

Helping people through a buffet!

- Mom, it's a great party.

- Thank you, sWeetie.

You knoW, Annie,

this place is terrific.

I think you did the right thing,

divorcing Aaron.

I salute you.

I have something to add.

Annie, you're not

getting any younger. Or thinner.

- You knoW What I think you need?

- No.

Absolutely nothing!

Baby...

SWeetheart!

Come on, Jason.

Just one time around the floor.

- Come on. Get real.

- I'm your mother. I command you.

You gotta have something

to tell your shrink.

Look at this.

Isn't this fantastic? I'm so proud.

- Hi, kids.

- Hi, Morty.

Dad, save me.

She's trying to dance With me.

Leave him alone.

He's a good kid.

- I knoW that.

- Not like his Dad.

- What?

- I'm getting out of the line of fire.

- You look good, Bren.

- You too.

- Thank you.

- Where's Shel?

- In the car.

- Glove compartment?

Trunk.

Let me ask you a question.

Was I this old

When We Were married?

Yes. But I liked you this old.

Me too.

- Wanna?

- Sure.

It was clear that Brenda and Morty

were headed for a reconciliation.

Elise was dating an actor

in her hit play.

As for me,

Aaron and Dr. Rosen split up.

He wants to come home again

and he feels emotionally ready-

- to recommit to an equitable

and caring relationship.

I told him to drop dead.

- Excuse me, got a light?

- Sure.

- Nice car. Used to have one myself.

- Thanks.

So, What's going on in there? Is it just

lot of battered Women dancing?

Yeah, sort of.

Not really my scene.

Me, neither.

So, you here With anybody?

- Not really.

- HoW old are you?

Look at this place.

It's just a total mess.

- But a gorgeous mess.

- You knoW, I can't believe it.

We actually did it.

We accomplished it together.

I knoW. We did it.

Oh, God,

I Wish Cynthia was here.

She is...

She is in a way.

OK, We're 1990s Women.

What is it We really, really need?

- You are never going to change.

- And I hope not.

I hope We never change

and We always stay the same...

Tired and happy.

- Maybe a little bit brave.

- Brave?

- You mean, "brave".

- What do you mean?

- You don't oWn me

- You're not funny!

No way. I'm out.

Stop it! No, I'm not gonna...

- You don't oWn me

- Leave me alone.

Don't say I can't go

With other boys

And don't tell me What to do

And don't tell me What to say

And When I go out With you

Don't put me on display

- Pretty good!

- You remembered!

You don't oWn me!

Don't try to change me in any way

You don't oWn me

Don't tie me doWn

'cause I'll never stay

I don't tell you What to say

I don't tell you What to do

So just let me be myself

That's all I ask of you

I'm young and I love to be young

I'm free and I love to be free

To live my life the way that I want

To say and do Whatever I please
