01:05make up my mind?
01:06How can I, you've got so little to work with.
01:11Hey, Julie, Julie, how come you're not dressed, she's gonna be here any minute.
01:15I've been dressed 90 million times, what do you wear when you're going out with a college man?
01:20As much as possible.
01:24Thanks for the help.
01:25Look at all this stuff, look.
01:27Hey, uh, Juliana, what about your pantsuit?
01:30Are you crazy? You want him to think I wear outfits?
01:33Heaven forbid.
01:35Cashmere sweater.
01:36It's too dressy.
01:37I want to wear something that does something for me.
01:41What about a hefty bag?
01:50What are you worried about?
01:52It's a blind date.
01:53I'd be more worried about what he looks like.
01:56Something smells.
01:58What is that?
01:59I smell it too.
02:01I don't know, but something smells.
02:33I can't hear what it is you're saying.
02:35What is that I don't understand?
02:36I'm sorry, what do I do?
02:36No, I don't understand what it is.
02:39I'm sorry, I can't understand what you're saying.
02:41I didn't understand what you were saying.
02:42Oh, I said, Mr. Romano, stand back out of the way.
02:45What are you doing?
02:46Oh, well, this here is your semi-annual pest control clearance here.
02:50Takes care of your silverfish, your spiders, your ants, your cucarachas, your cucarachas.
02:57Take care, boy.
02:58Schneider, stop it.
02:59You're smelling up the whole apartment.
03:01I've got a date coming over.
03:03A big fraternity man.
03:06You are letting this child go out with a panty raider?
03:13Don't you know what goes on with those whipping poop people?
03:17Schneider, please just take that apparatus away.
03:20All right, all right, I'm going.
03:23But if you take my advice, this guy gets out of hand, you want to cool him?
03:29Just put a drop of this behind each ear.
03:35That'll take the whiff right out of his poof.
03:45I'm dead.
03:47Absolutely dead.
03:48The apartment smells like the back end of a bus.
03:51I don't have anything to wear.
03:53And obviously you don't either.
03:56Julie.
03:57Well, look at you.
03:58Couldn't you put on a hostess gown or something?
04:00What are you so uptight for?
04:02He's just a college guy.
04:04I think I'll go up and talk to Karen.
04:06Her sister's a freak-o, too.
04:10This is going to be a disaster.
04:12Julie, please, would you take it easy?
04:14Come on, go get dressed.
04:15He's going to be here any minute.
04:16I know he will.
04:18Mom, when you let him in, remember,
04:20he's not a high school student,
04:21so please don't talk down to him, okay?
04:24Okay, sweetheart, I'll do the best I can.
04:26Oh, offer him a beer.
04:28No milk and cookies.
04:29I mean, this is a date, not a recess.
04:31That's for you.
04:33Oh, here he is, here he is, here he is.
04:34Okay.
04:34Mom, this really means a lot to me.
04:37Make him feel warm and welcome here.
04:40And please, don't talk down to him, okay?
04:43I promise.
04:45God, I look like a teenager.
04:53Julie?
04:55No, I'm her mother.
04:57Oh, um, I'm Ken Anderson.
04:59Hi.
05:00It's nice to meet you.
05:01Yeah, it's nice meeting you, too.
05:03Come on in.
05:04Um, Julie's a little late.
05:05She was late getting started.
05:07Oh, that's okay.
05:08You want a Coke or something?
05:11Sure, Coke is fine.
05:12Good.
05:13Unless you have a little scotch.
05:15Ah, can I see your ID?
05:17Coke is fine.
05:20Hey, uh, you going to any place special?
05:25No, no special plans.
05:27Just thought I'd kind of play by ear.
05:30Until you see what your, uh, blind date looks like.
05:36You're not supposed to know that.
05:37Hmm.
05:38See, it works both ways.
05:40I'm not supposed to tell Julie what time to get home until she gets a look at you.
05:47Well, how do I rate?
05:49Oh, well, uh, on a scale of eight till midnight, I'd say 11.45.
05:59Well, I think I'll rate Julie at, uh, midnight, if she's anything like her mother.
06:04Oh, thank you, sir.
06:08Okay, I guess, uh, in that case, you're going to have Julie until midnight.
06:13You know, for a date's mother, you're all right.
06:18Julie tells me that you were in college.
06:20You like it?
06:22I did, until my father found out what I was majoring in.
06:25What's that?
06:27Undecided.
06:28Hmm.
06:30My father keeps saying, find something.
06:34Why am I paying all this money if you're not going to become something?
06:38The only problem is, I don't really know what I want to become.
06:42Oh, I know exactly where you're at.
06:45But believe me, if I've learned anything, it's that there's no rush.
06:48Take your time and get it right.
06:52You and I sure think alike.
06:55I wish you'd speak to my dad, Miss Cooper.
06:57Uh-uh, it's Romano.
06:58I took back my maiden name when I got divorced.
07:03You're divorced?
07:08Yes, I am.
07:10Great.
07:13I'll, uh, go see if Julie's ready.
07:16Oh, please, don't rush her on my account.
07:18I'm kind of enjoying this.
07:20I, uh, usually have difficulty when I meet people for the first time.
07:25You know, I don't know what to say.
07:28But it's so easy to talk to you.
07:30Ken, you're a very personable young man.
07:34Do you really mean that?
07:36Of course I do.
07:38You know, this is kind of wild.
07:42I've just met you and we've got this great rapport going.
07:45Oh.
07:48Hi.
07:49Hi, sweetheart.
07:51Um, Julie?
07:52Ken?
07:53Ken?
07:53This is Julie.
07:54Hi, Ken.
07:57Hi.
07:58Uh, Marsha's told me a lot about you.
08:02Great.
08:06Um, what are you majoring in?
08:08Huh, wrong question.
08:09What do you mean?
08:10It's just a little private joke between us.
08:16Oh.
08:17Well, uh, have fun, you two.
08:20Where are we gonna go?
08:21Um, well, do you like concerts?
08:24Rock concerts?
08:25No, no, no.
08:27I'm kind of into classical music.
08:29Uh, could you take a little Mozart?
08:31Not if I could get some David Bowie.
08:33Uh, Julie, you'll love it.
08:35Really.
08:36I mean, Mozart wrote everything when he was under 30.
08:39Are you into classical music?
08:42Uh, a little.
08:46Fantastic.
08:47It's a freebie at the auditorium.
08:49You can come with us if you want.
08:50Oh, no.
08:51You two go on ahead.
08:53Excuse me.
08:58Behold the ultimate pizza.
09:01I gave it.
09:02We have peppers, onions, garlic, cheese, sausage, pepperoni, bacon, anchovies, and Alka-Seltzer.
09:14Where did you get that?
09:16The Air Force shot it down over Montana.
09:20Oh, David, I want you to meet Julie's date.
09:23Ken Anderson, David King.
09:24Hi.
09:24How you doing?
09:25Pleasure.
09:26He goes to Purdue.
09:27Oh, yeah?
09:28Uh, what's your major?
09:29Don't ask.
09:30It's a secret.
09:31That one?
09:32Would you rather go to a movie?
09:34No, no.
09:34Anything you'd like.
09:36Well, you all set for an exciting evening of, uh, vino, pizza, TV, and me?
09:41Huh?
09:42You think I can handle that excitement?
09:45Mm-hmm.
09:45Mm-hmm.
09:46That sure smells good.
09:48Yeah, well, we, uh, we have plenty.
09:51You know, if you'd like to share.
09:52I'm sure, uh, I'm sure you kids would just love to spend an evening rapping with the old folks.
09:58Dang.
10:00That's a great idea.
10:03It is?
10:05Yeah.
10:06Well, um, at the frat house, I don't get very many home-cooked meals.
10:13Uh, what about the concert?
10:15Oh, you didn't want to go to that anyway.
10:17This will be kind of different.
10:18An evening at home with your mom.
10:23I don't know what's going on here.
10:25We're obviously not hitting at all.
10:26What'd you have to ask him to stay for?
10:28Well, obviously, I didn't think he'd accept.
10:30Well, they're very awkward with each other.
10:32We gotta do something.
10:34Ah!
10:35Hey, uh, Julie, why don't you put on some music?
10:37Hey, good idea.
10:38Okay, music.
10:39Ah, in case anyone wants to dance.
10:43I'd love to.
10:44Can you do the hustle?
10:46Oh, well, I've seen Julie and Barbara do it.
10:50Come on, let's try it.
10:52Okay.
11:11You want to dance?
11:12No, thanks, David.
11:18It's pretty good.
11:19So, yeah.
11:22Woo!
11:30Uh, a little, uh, pizza?
11:36Wine?
11:41Hemlock?
12:01Anne, this was one of the greatest nights of my life.
12:05Oh, thank you.
12:06I don't remember when I danced like that.
12:10Hey, uh, it was awful nice of you to dance with my mom.
12:13I mean, most college men don't pay much attention to, uh, older people.
12:18Well, maybe Ken's in social work.
12:22Social work!
12:26Yeah, I hate to get going, but I have, uh, this history term paper to hand in tomorrow.
12:31Well, if it's about Benedict Arnold, I'm sure Mom could help.
12:37You know, I usually hate blind dates, but this was really a blast.
12:41Would it be all right if I called you again, Judy?
12:44Oh, sure, call any time.
12:46But if Judy doesn't answer, you can ask for me.
12:49I'm Julie.
12:52Ray, sorry.
12:54I'm not very good with names.
12:56Well, good night, Anne.
12:57It was nice meeting you, Mr. Kane.
12:58Yeah.
13:00Uh, now that you, uh, know where we live, don't be a stranger.
13:05Ciao.
13:07Ciao.
13:09Ciao.
13:11Ciao.
13:21Well, he certainly seems to be a nice young man.
13:28Julie, you're getting to have good taste in men.
13:31Taste?
13:31I didn't even get to touch.
13:35What are you talking about?
13:36You're worse than Mrs. Robinson in The Graduate.
13:39And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson.
13:42Heaven holds a place for those who pray.
13:46Hey, hey, hey.
13:48Hey, hey.
13:49Hey, wait a minute here.
13:51I mean, I was trying to make him feel warm and welcome.
13:54Warm and welcome, not hot and bothered.
13:58Julie, what is the matter with you?
14:00You practically threw yourself in his arms.
14:02Julie, I did no such thing.
14:05Besides, when I throw myself in someone's arms, I don't miss.
14:10You should have seen yourself wiggling around there in your tight jeans.
14:14You made the hustle look like a mating dance.
14:16Julie, you were exaggerating everything
14:18out of all proportion.
14:19Am I, David?
14:20Go ahead.
14:20Tell her, David.
14:21Go ahead.
14:21Yeah, David, go ahead.
14:23Tell me.
14:23Well, I think you might have overdone it just a trifle,
14:27Tina Turner.
14:35I don't believe this.
14:36I mean, you are jealous of a kid who isn't dry behind the ears yet.
14:40Yeah, well, he's dry behind the ears now.
14:43You were blowing in him all night.
14:45Julie, enough.
14:49Ah, come on, David.
14:51You don't think I was really giving him ideas, do you?
14:54Probably, unless he's training for the priesthood.
14:59He is a kid, a baby.
15:01He's 19 years old.
15:02I'm an old lady to him.
15:04Oh, then that must be the attraction.
15:08Mom, you want to know what your problem is?
15:10You are too bright, too intelligent, too sexy, and too pretty.
15:15Well, we're just going to have to learn to live with that, won't we?
15:18And too show-offy.
15:20Look, Julie, I was just trying to make him feel comfortable.
15:24Yeah, she was trying to help him get over his, uh, shyness.
15:29Shy?
15:29If Ken is shy, I'm Raquel Welch.
15:32And obviously I am not Raquel Welch.
15:36I hope you enjoyed robbing the cradle.
15:38Well, Julie, I am going to forgive you that because I know you inherited a big mouth from me.
15:44Now, look, if I gave Ken the wrong impression, I'm sorry.
15:51Hi, everyone.
15:52Hi.
15:54Where's the college man?
15:55He graduated to Mom.
15:58Julie has some absurd idea that I was coming on to a college man.
16:02Yeah, you should have seen him dancing cheek to cheek.
16:06Nobody dances cheek to cheek today.
16:09Mom was the bump.
16:16Well, I guess I'm a little too young for this conversation.
16:20Uh, Barbara, uh, come here.
16:22Can you think of anything more absurd and ridiculous in my being interested in a boy Ken's age?
16:27Well, I'm no judge.
16:28I thought it was absurd you being interested in a boy David's age.
16:34You're fighting and who gets killed.
16:39Well, I'll tell you what.
16:41Why don't we all go up to my apartment and drown our sorrows in some nice ice cream sundaes?
16:47Ice cream, David, now.
16:48It's not for me, Anne.
16:50That anchovy I just ate has a tapeworm.
16:54I'll go, David.
16:55Maybe I'll meet an older man in the elevator.
16:59I'll be there.
17:01I'm too pooped.
17:02Put a doggy bag in the freezer and I'll have it for breakfast.
17:05Good night, sweetheart.
17:06Uh, David, I'm gonna pass, too.
17:08You don't mind.
17:08No, no, no.
17:09Uh, maybe we'll bring you something, okay?
17:11Okay.
17:15Are they gone?
17:16Good.
17:16What did happen down here?
17:18Barbara, I thought you were tired.
17:20Well, I just said that so I could stay here and find out what I missed.
17:24Barbara, I really don't feel like, uh, getting into this tonight.
17:28Oh.
17:29Well, in that case, I'll, uh, get into my pajamas.
17:43Hello, Anne.
17:49Ken.
17:52Come on in.
17:54I forgot my jacket.
17:57Uh-huh.
17:59Well?
18:02Here it is.
18:07Where is everybody?
18:09They went for ice cream.
18:12Ken, look, uh, I'm glad you came back.
18:15Oh, you knew I would.
18:16You knew I left my jacket here just so I'd have an excuse to come back.
18:20What I don't understand is how you got them to go out for ice cream.
18:30They, uh, just went.
18:33Ken, look, uh, I've obviously made a big mistake here tonight,
18:38and I don't want you to leave thinking I'm interested in you romantically.
18:43I know why you're reacting this way.
18:46You're afraid to have a relationship with me
18:48because you're almost old enough to be my mother.
18:51Uh, Ken.
18:52No, no.
18:52It's always the same.
18:54A 50-year-old codger digs a young chick.
18:56Everybody cheers.
18:57But when it's reversed and a young guy digs, uh...
19:00Watch it.
19:02Well, it's biologically sound.
19:04Your sex drive peaks when you're 40.
19:06Come back in six years.
19:10I can't wait.
19:11Mine peaked this year.
19:19Ken, I am not interested in you romantically.
19:22You are a very nice boy.
19:26Go!
19:28That's ridiculous.
19:30Only an hour ago, I felt your vibes.
19:32No, you didn't.
19:33I wasn't vibrating.
19:34I was dancing.
19:35You know, your age doesn't matter to me.
19:37Good.
19:38Well, then I'll just cancel my facelift.
19:41Ken, look.
19:42We are worlds apart.
19:44For one thing, I'm a divorced woman.
19:45That's okay.
19:47I want someone who's been around.
19:50I'm not as mature as I look.
19:55Oh, I wish I were upstairs having a chocolate sundae.
19:59And I took Psyche 1.
20:05Now, by telling me you're a divorced woman, you're subconsciously letting me know you have a strong urge to be
20:13loved.
20:13Oh, really?
20:15Yeah, your mind is confused, but your emotions are ready.
20:19Would you leave my emotions out of this, please?
20:22Why fight it?
20:23It's a purely natural urge.
20:24I don't want to talk about natural or unnatural.
20:26We're not talking about yogurt here.
20:29You're so beautiful when you're angry.
20:31Well, in a minute, I am going to be gorgeous.
20:35You're gorgeous now.
20:40Ken!
20:46Well, you struck out again, Ken.
20:51Ken, you didn't strike out.
20:56You were never up to bat.
21:01Sit down, Ken.
21:03Maybe I better get going.
21:05Uh, come on.
21:07Sit.
21:13Why me, Ken?
21:16Well, you're pretty, you're attractive, you're interesting.
21:19That's a crock.
21:20I mean, it's very flattering, but nevertheless, it's a crock.
21:24What about girls your own age?
21:26And you're also very bright.
21:30Um...
21:31I'm just not comfortable with girls my own age.
21:35I always wanted the first time to be with an older woman.
21:40Ken, if you want your first experience to be with an older woman, let me give you a little hint.
21:48Never call her an older woman.
21:52Uh, what do you mean, first time?
21:57Well, it's not exactly.
21:59I went out with this girl in high school who was...
22:02Well, she was...
22:04An expert in biology.
22:07Yeah.
22:08Yeah.
22:10And afterwards...
22:12Well, she laughed at me.
22:14And you thought you wouldn't be taking that chance with me?
22:17Yeah, well, all the guys said that older women are grateful.
22:25Ken, older women aren't grateful.
22:28They're critical.
22:30Besides, it's not better with an older woman.
22:33It's not?
22:34No.
22:35And it's not better with a younger woman.
22:36You know when it's better?
22:37When both of you dig each other.
22:39Did you, uh...
22:41Dig the biology expert of the class of 75?
22:45I didn't even know her.
22:47Some guy fixed me up and I met her in a parking lot.
22:53Ken, find somebody you care about and who cares about you.
22:57And believe me, even the mistakes will be fantastic.
23:01Okay?
23:03Now, go home.
23:09I, um...
23:10I guess you never want to see me around this house again.
23:13Ah, Ken.
23:14Consider yourself...
23:16a friend of the family.
23:18Okay?
23:19Okay.
23:20That's...
23:20That's really nice of you, Miss Romano.
23:22All right.
23:24Oh, that second Sunday was ridiculous.
23:27I think I'm gonna be sick.
23:28Well, let's face it.
23:29This entire evening has been pretty ridiculous.
23:31You're right.
23:32Absolutely right.
