Hey, my old mans|got a set of keys.

That is illegal,|and you know it, Joey.

Theyre beautiful.

But l cant accept them.

l could move in here. l bet you Pop|would knock 50 bucks off the rent.

Aw, youre just tryin|to make me feel better.

Oh, you know what? lts really|not that far. lts-- lts fine.

No, no, no. No.|Come on, come on.

- Youre just acting really weird.|- No, no, lm not being weird.

- Yes, you are.|- No, lm not being weird.

- So, what about Peter?|- What about Peter?

Peter is going to have a lot|to deal with when he wakes up.

Oh, come on. Come in. Hey, everybody.|Lucy and her fiance are here.

- Lucy! Hey, hows it goin?|- Jerry, you know Peter, right?

Thank you. Hi.|Take his coat, Cindy.

Geez, he looks good.

Thats not Peter.|Thats Jack.

- Uh, whos Jack again?|- Peters brother.

- Peters the guy thats in a coma.|- Yeah.

-So then why did you bring Jack?|-l didnt bring Jack.|He followed me here.

- So Jacks the fiance?|- No, Peter.

- Peter doesnt even know you exist.|- l know.

- So Jack is Peter?|- Yeah.

- Lucy--|- Yeah?

They have doctors|for this kind of thing.

Excuse me. Uh! Thats spiked.

- Thank God.|- You shouldnt have any.

- Why not?|- Because its not good for the baby.

- Wait a minute, will ya?|- lts freezin! Watch out.

Uh, this whole evening did not|work out well at all, and, uh--

Oh, and lm supposed to share|some responsibility in that?

No. Now-- Would you|slow down a little bit?

Look. lt was just|a misunderstanding,

- and on top of the Joe Jr. thing--|- Excuse me?

- lts nothing.|- No, no, no. Theres no nothing now.

What Joe Jr. thing?

- The leaning thing.|- The leaning thing.

- Yeah.|- Okay.

Um-- What do you-- What do you|mean by the leaning thing?

- Because he gave me flowers?|- And then you leaned.

- And then l leaned.|- Yeah.

Okay. How did l lean|when l leaned?

- How were you leaning?|- Yeah.|- lt was a lot different than hugging.

Huggings very different.

Hugging, that involves|arms and hands,

and leaning is whole bodies|moving in, like this.

Leaning involves wanting...

and accepting.

Leaning--

Hey, Luce.

ls this guy bothering you?

No, no.

Are you sure? Cause it|looks like hes leaning.

Thank you. See?

lll be right over here|if you need me.

Okay. Thank you very much.

l know karate.

Okay. Now-- All right.|What about the other thing?

The other thing?|The other misunderstanding?

Why did you think|l was pregnant?

Well, Mary said that she|had heard something like that.

- And you believed her?|- l didnt have any reason|not to believe her.

So the only reason your brother|would want to marry someone like me...

- is if l was pregnant, right?|- No, no.

Good night.

Fact is, youre not|really Peters type.

Yeah, Jack? All right,|whose type am l?

- Thank you.|- Look, its a great idea,|you and Peter.

lts just not obvious|to the whole world, thats all.

You know what, Jack? lve had|a really lousy Christmas.

Youve just managed|to kill my New Years.

-lf you come back on Easter,|you can burn down my apartment.|-Hey, come on, Lucy.

-What do you want from me, Jack?|-l want you not to be unhappy.

And what are you, the happiness|guru, Jack? Are you happy?

Because l dont remember you having|had a conversation with your father.

l mean, you do want to leave|the business, dont you,

or is this just like|another miscommunication|that we are having here?

What do you know|about my family?

Spending a week with em|does not make you an expert.

Spending a lifetime with them|hasnt made you one either.

Yeah, well, l know that keeping|your family happy gets complicated.

Would your father be happy knowing|youre sitting in a token booth,

planning vacations|that you arent taking?

No, he wouldnt. Youre right.

But you have no idea|what its like to be alone.

Hey, you have Peter.

l dont have anybody.

Happy New Year!|Happy New Year!

Good night.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year.
