00:01This is it. This is it. This is life. The one you get. So go and have a ball. This
00:10is it. This is it. Straight ahead and rest assured. You can't be sure at all.
00:16So while you're here, enjoy the view. Keep on doing what you do. Hold on tight. We'll muddle through one
00:25day at a time. So up on your feet. Somewhere there's music playing. Don't you worry not. Just take it
00:36like it's off one day at a time.
00:38One day at a time. One day at a time. One day at a time. One day at a time.
00:47One day at a time. And now for the conclusion of David's new job.
01:08Oh Julie. Julie. Beanpole. Yes lard bottom. Would you mind getting the tape. It's over there. Yes and I'm up
01:21here. Could you move your bones. Instead of getting married mom and David should have decided to live together just
01:28like everybody else. Bite your tongue. Marriage is one of our most sacred institutions.
01:35It's what's made this country great. Why if George Washington hadn't married Martha she never would have made the flag.
01:43Betsy Ross made the flag. Are you trying to tell me that the father of our country was fooling around
01:50with Betsy Ross? Bite your tongue again with wooden teeth. How come you never got married again Schneider? Because I
02:00have too much love for one woman to handle.
02:06Any gal that marries me might OD on a moor. Well if you have to go what better way right?
02:14Julie have you seen my house slip? No mom. I'm help you are.
02:21What is going on? Mom's been trying on dresses all morning for the wedding and she can't make up her
02:26mind.
02:27Ah ain't that cute. A nervous bride trying to look her best for her groom. Damn damn damn.
02:37Of course some brides are more nervous than others.
02:40You know she's been so uptight the past few days. Yeah I know. It's kind of hard to believe tomorrow's
02:47a wedding. Tomorrow night you're all gonna be off to California.
02:51Yeah.
02:53Well I thought you'd be excited about that.
02:56Yeah well we want to go.
02:58It's just well it sounded like a better idea a week ago.
03:01Well I guess it's not easy to say goodbye.
03:04Well now look uh...
03:08Sometimes these things happen in life.
03:11As you go along in life.
03:13I mean that's life.
03:18You're gonna be making new friends out there.
03:21Yeah I'm gonna be making friends here.
03:24Why I mean maybe a nice couple comes in here.
03:26Maybe with a couple of boys I can take them fishing.
03:31Boys are a lot easier to hang out with than girls.
03:36Yeah well we're gonna miss you too Schneider.
03:38Yeah well we'll both get old.
03:40Besides which I may be going to the coast myself.
03:42You're kidding.
03:43Really?
03:44No it's like the guy said.
03:45Go west young man.
03:48What guy said?
03:50Horace Hype.
03:53How do you like it?
03:55Oh my.
03:57That's...
03:57That's great.
03:58I hate it.
04:01Purple's wrong.
04:02I can't wear white.
04:03I'm used merchandise.
04:05Mom, come on.
04:07Stop putting yourself down.
04:08You're gonna be a beautiful bride.
04:09Some beautiful bride.
04:11I'm 35.
04:12I've got miles on me.
04:14Now I know what a clinker in a used car lot feels like.
04:19Ma, you're very young.
04:21For an old person.
04:23You know what mom?
04:25You know what I heard?
04:26I heard that a woman of 35 is nearing the height of her sexuality.
04:36See, I don't know why I even bothered with this one.
04:39Maybe I should try the yellow one with a strand of pearls.
04:41That'll look pretty too.
04:42No, it won't, but I'll try it.
04:45You know, mom is as jumpy as a cat.
04:48It's not like her to panic about a dress.
04:51You never can tell how a woman is gonna react to marriage.
04:55I mean, my ex-wife, why, she was completely calm.
04:58And then, while I was carrying the bags to the motel room,
05:01she took the keys to the car and she split.
05:06We never even got a chance to break the paper ribbon on the party.
05:15Well, it's a good thing mom has us around to calm her down for the wedding.
05:18I don't know how she made it through the first one without us.
05:23Nothing, right?
05:24Mom!
05:25Mom!
05:26I didn't have a chance to look at it.
05:27I'm telling you, she is very nervous.
05:30Now, you're gonna have to be patient with her.
05:33Anything else I can do?
05:34No, everything seems to be pretty together.
05:37Are you sure?
05:38Yeah.
05:39How about, how about rice?
05:41Got enough rice?
05:42Yeah, I think so.
05:44You know, it's funny.
05:47Americans throw rice at weddings.
05:49Chinese probably throw potato salad.
05:56Well, well, well, if it is not the bionic groom.
06:00You look like you can't wait for the nuptials to be consummated.
06:03I'm counting the minutes.
06:04One, one thousand, two, one thousand.
06:06Now, listen, you rascal.
06:07You don't come on too strong.
06:08You got a very nervous bride in there.
06:10Don't worry.
06:10Don't worry.
06:11Schneider, make sure you're not late for the ceremony tomorrow.
06:14Are you kidding?
06:15I got the tuxedo rented and everything.
06:17Bow tie, cummerbund spats, all in subdued maroon.
06:23I can't wait.
06:25Oh, Mr. Kane.
06:27Come here.
06:28Come here.
06:31Now, if you'd like me to arrange for the stag party, it's still not too late.
06:36No, Schneider, that's sweet of you.
06:38No, he can do it right down at the lodge.
06:40I told all the guys about it.
06:41They're all for it.
06:42And we got a brand new stag film in this week.
06:45Brand new.
06:46I understand.
06:49In this film, the couple actually talk before they...
06:57Really?
06:59What do they say?
07:03Ready?
07:04Yep.
07:13I'll get that.
07:17Hello.
07:18Hello.
07:18Hey, David.
07:18Hello.
07:19My little future income tax write-off.
07:23Okay.
07:24Let's give it to him.
07:24Da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
07:27Here comes the bride.
07:28Here comes the groom.
07:30If you need advice on the honeymoon, we'll be in the very next room.
07:40The Pointer sisters have nothing to fear from you two.
07:44Where is the bride presumptive?
07:46What?
07:47Your mother.
07:48Oh, she's in the bedroom trying on dresses for the wedding.
07:51Now that it's getting close, the poor kid's a wreck.
07:53Mom, the loved one is here.
07:55Who?
07:58Oh, yeah, I'll be right there.
08:00David, please, no matter what she comes out wearing, tell her it's perfect for the wedding.
08:05Oh, gotcha.
08:07Hi.
08:09Anne, it's perfect for the wedding.
08:12Oh, this is real funny here, huh?
08:14You're all out here having a ball, and I still can't decide what to wear for a little occasion known
08:18as my wedding.
08:19Oh, Anne, it doesn't matter what you wear.
08:21I'm marrying what's underneath the clothes.
08:28That, uh, didn't come out quite the way I'd intended, but now that I've said it, what the hell?
08:32David, I'm a little edgy.
08:35Look, I-I know this is, uh, like the very last minute, but there's one more person...
08:39Why don't you arrange everything with the movers? I mean, with your stuff and ours, we really have a lot
08:43of junk.
08:43Yeah, don't worry. Uh, we'll finish packing tonight, and tomorrow they'll take it all out on the same truck.
08:48Now, there's one more...
08:48Julie, Barbara, uh, did you arrange to have your school records transferred?
08:52Mom, we did that three days ago.
08:54Instead of transferred, I wish I could have mine destroyed.
08:57Ann?
08:58Ann?
08:58Yeah?
08:58Oh, good. I have your attention. Look, there's one more person that we...
09:01What about the champagne, David? Do you think that we have enough champagne?
09:03We have plenty of champagne. Relax. Everything is taken care of. I-I just need to get some rice.
09:09Oh, don't worry. We got enough potato salad.
09:11Uh, look.
09:14Ann, there's-there's one more person that we have to invite. My Aunt Rose.
09:18She's very old and very wealthy. She might want to leave us some money. I wouldn't want to deny her
09:24that pleasure.
09:25Besides, I've already invited her.
09:27You know, I still say, instead of having the wedding in the apartment, you guys should get married in the
09:31forest, like my friend Susan and Eddie did.
09:34Oh, it was a great back-to-nature wedding.
09:36All she wore was a garland of flowers, and he wore a fig leaf. But the honeymoon was a wipeout.
09:40The fig leaf wasn't a fig leaf. He caught poison ivy.
09:43Ha, ha, ha, ha!
09:46Ha, ha, ha!
09:47This is getting, woo-hoo! Funnier and funnier.
09:50The David and Ann Variety Show. An hour of merement and sick jokes. Will you all just knock it off?
09:56Oh, come on, Mom. I was just trying to relax you. You've been so uptight. I just figured...
10:00I am not uptight.
10:01And I do not need my experienced daughters telling me how to run my wedding.
10:06Ann, come on. Go easy.
10:08You're not my husband yet, David. Don't tell me how to talk to my kids.
10:12Mom, we were just trying out of this, Barbara.
10:15I don't want to hear from you either.
10:23I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell.
10:27It's okay, Mom.
10:29Thanks. Um, David, look.
10:32I'm sorry. It's just a nervous bride syndrome.
10:37Sue me. I've lost my cool.
10:41Ann, I don't think you're just nervous.
10:43Oh, yeah, sure, David. That's all it is.
10:44You know me, uh, nervous Nellie.
10:48But one thing I'm sure about is this marriage.
10:52I'm excited about it. I'm glad you forced me into it.
10:59Forced you?
10:59Well, you know, I wasn't sure, and you made me sure.
11:04I love you for that.
11:06I love you for your strength.
11:09You're a rock.
11:13Well, this time tomorrow, you'll have a piece of the rock.
11:21Uh, you get the feeling they want to be alone?
11:24I get the feeling.
11:25Uh, we're gonna wrap some presents, okay, guys?
11:27Uh, listen, if you need any help...
11:29Uh, I don't think he'll be needing any help.
11:36Huh.
11:37That was very nice.
11:39Well, we had a quarrel. We had to make up.
11:42Huh. Take a note.
11:43After we're married, let's quarrel a lot.
11:46You got it, kid.
11:48Quarrel, make up.
11:50Quarrel, make up.
11:52You know, I got a great job waiting for me in California, but at this rate, I don't know how
11:56I'm ever gonna have time to do it.
12:01Ann, it's gonna be beautiful out there.
12:03Yeah, I-I know it will.
12:06Julie and Barbara are already in love with California.
12:08They can't stop talking about it.
12:10Well, it's a great place to raise kids.
12:12You know, our house is right near a terrific preschool nursery.
12:16So?
12:18For our kids.
12:20Julie and Barbara?
12:21No, the new ones.
12:23That you and I are gonna have.
12:25You know, I-I thought we'd start with a boy.
12:30You know, if we start with a boy because we already have two girls.
12:49David, uh, we never talked about having children.
12:55I didn't think we had to.
12:59Um, honey, you're-you're already getting two kids on the house.
13:05I assumed that would be enough.
13:09Oh, Ann, I-I, uh, I love Julie and Barbara, but they're your kids, and what's his names?
13:17Ed's.
13:19Look, a man wants his own children, and I assumed that you assumed what I assumed.
13:24Exactly. How many did you assume?
13:29Well, to pick a number, three?
13:34Two would be fine, you know. Two is-
13:37That would be perfect, uh, I mean, two boys, uh, to go with the two girls, a perfect match set.
13:44Of course, one, one would be-
13:46I mean, one would make me completely content.
13:50David.
13:51I have been all through that.
13:55Besides, I'm 35.
13:57So what?
13:58A lot of women have-have babies in their 40s and 50s.
14:01I read once about a woman who had a baby when she was 74 years old.
14:07One day, she just woke up from her nap, and there it was.
14:14I have had my kids.
14:15Well, I haven't.
14:17Ann, look, it's a completely natural urge.
14:20I mean, we live in an age of copying machines.
14:23What's wrong with me wanting a little Xerox of myself?
14:27David, I understand how you feel, really.
14:29But I-I've been all through that baby bit.
14:31The-the months of blimp-dom, the waking up in the middle of the night, the four-hour feedings.
14:37I would help.
14:37I breastfed Julie and Barbara.
14:41I defer.
14:43Look, Ann, as far as raising the kids, though, I could take a tremendous load off your shoulders.
14:48It goes deeper than that, David.
14:51I mean, Julie and Barbara are practically on their own now.
14:55I had Julie when I was 18 years old. I've been raising kids half of my life.
14:59I mean, now I have a chance to begin to raise myself.
15:03You don't have to answer now.
15:04Just take your time, think about it, and then we'll have a baby.
15:11You're gonna have a baby, Mom?
15:14Soon.
15:15Great! I always wanted a sister!
15:17Hey.
15:23Look, you guys, I really have enough problems here without help from the peanut gallery.
15:28Mom, it would be fantastic to have a baby!
15:30Then have one!
15:32Cancel that.
15:37Ann, you see, the whole family is for it.
15:39Well, I am not, and I do not like being pushed.
15:41I'm not pushing. We're just discussing it.
15:43What do you think this is, David?
15:44Hey, as far as I'm concerned, if anything...
15:46Guys, would you excuse us for a little bit?
15:48I think your mother and I are about to have a little argument.
15:51We are having a little argument.
15:52You know what? We're gonna go say goodbye to my chemistry teacher.
15:55That should make his day.
15:58Barbie, come on, Barbie.
16:02Ann, I never thought such a little baby was gonna cause such a big hassle.
16:06It is a big hassle. A big, huge, insurmountable hassle.
16:09Let's not say insurmountable.
16:11Insurmountable!
16:12Ann, just think about it. I don't feel I'm being that unreasonable.
16:15Of course you don't.
16:17Look, Ann, I started out wanting three children. I'm willing to settle for one.
16:21Well, you'll just have to settle for a goldfish, and that's it.
16:24A goldfish playing Little League?
16:28I see where you're at, sweetie.
16:30You wanna have all the fun while I stay home and do all the work.
16:33That's not true. I just...
16:34Just a minute!
16:37Yes?
16:39Excuse me, do I have the wrong apartment?
16:41I'm Reverend Howland.
16:44Reverend Howland? Oh, I'm sorry.
16:46I forgot to tell you I asked the Reverend to come over this morning.
16:50How are you?
16:51Fine, thank you.
16:53Right, uh, this is, uh, Ann Romano, the bride.
16:57Hello.
16:58Hello. I hope I didn't come at a bad time.
17:01Oh, no, no. We were just discussing our wonderful future together.
17:07How nice.
17:09Sit.
17:12What?
17:13Uh, uh, please be seated.
17:15Oh, thank you.
17:19As I told Mr. Cain on the phone, I wanted to meet you both.
17:24I'd like to inject a little personal touch into the ceremony.
17:29Yes, uh, that's why we felt you'd be the right man for us.
17:32Uh, Ms. Romano, uh, I understand you're Catholic.
17:37Ann divorced with two grown children.
17:40Oh, that's quite all right.
17:42You see, at our church of all denominations, we have a very liberal attitude.
17:47And, David, you're Jewish.
17:51Uh, well, actually, I've strayed a bit.
17:54Oh, oh, an atheist.
17:56In that case, I won't mention God in the ceremony.
17:59No, I'm not an atheist. I'm, uh, I'm more of an agnostic, really.
18:03Oh, well, there's no problem there.
18:05I'll merely say, if there is a God, may he bless the union of these two people.
18:12Now, you're a very enlightened couple.
18:15I imagine you want to eliminate the word obey from the ceremony.
18:19Uh, absolutely, absolutely.
18:20Just make it love, honor, and be fruitful and multiply.
18:31Well, I've never heard that before, but it has a nice sound to it.
18:36Old Testament.
18:38How about, do not sow seeds in a field that has already been reaped?
18:49Well, I've never heard that before.
18:52Old or New Testament?
18:54Farmer's Almanac.
18:57Well, you both seem to be at odds on the subject of children.
19:01We are.
19:03Uh, Reverend, uh, let me ask you something, okay?
19:06I mean, if a woman already has two grown children, is it so wrong for her not to want any
19:11more?
19:11Well, in my Mother's Day sermon, I said that...
19:14But, Reverend, Reverend, if a man has never had any children, is it so unreasonable for him to want some?
19:21In my Father's Day sermon, I said...
19:22I don't want to go through that whole life again.
19:26Well, that's understandable.
19:27Ann, you make it sound like some terrible ordeal.
19:30Having a child is the most natural thing in the world, and I want one.
19:33In Genesis, they said...
19:41I want one of my own.
19:43David, you are being incredibly selfish.
19:45May I say that...
19:46Why? Because I want something that you've already had?
19:49What?
19:49I have a cornerstone to bless.
19:51The pleasure...
19:52The pleasure of seeing my own children grow up.
19:56The joys of parenthood.
19:58Well, it's been nice chatting with you.
20:00You know, David, you don't know what the hell you're talking about.
20:02May God bless her, whoever.
20:11That's just it, Ann. I don't know what I'm talking about, and I want to know what I'm talking about.
20:16That's why I want this experience.
20:18And I think you're the one who's being damn selfish and not allowing me to have it.
20:28Look, if it upsets you that much, we won't...
20:30My God, David, don't.
20:31Don't what?
20:32Not again.
20:33Don't...
20:34Don't give in.
20:35Don't compromise for me.
20:36Look, if you don't want to have any children...
20:38There's not children, David.
20:39It's me. It's me.
20:40It's what I gotta do with my life.
20:42It's...
20:50David, it's not gonna work.
20:53Okay.
20:54It's ridiculous.
20:55Is it?
20:57I've been using you.
20:59It's really ridiculous.
21:01Take a good look at me, David.
21:03I am selfish.
21:05Oh, come on. I didn't mean that. I was angry. I'm sorry.
21:07David, you were right. Really, I have been selfish.
21:09I divorced Ed, and I wanted to be on my own, but I haven't had the guts to do that.
21:15I didn't divorce Ed. I replaced him with you.
21:18Come on, Ann. Give me a little credit, will you?
21:20I knew what was going on. I accepted it for what it was.
21:24But it's different now.
21:25It's not different, David.
21:27I've been cheating you.
21:28I can't share my life with you or with anyone until I find out what that life is.
21:32Well, I understand.
21:33You don't understand, David.
21:34I gotta make the break.
21:35I have got to.
21:36I hate what I'm doing to you and to me.
21:38Ann, I haven't been an unwilling participant.
21:40I have been using you, David.
21:42I've been using you as a crutch, a sounding board, a lover, a friend, a surrogate father to the girls.
21:47I didn't do anything I didn't want to.
21:48But it's wrong, David.
21:50It's wrong for you and for me.
21:51I can't need that anymore.
21:56Yeah.
21:57I know.
22:00In a way, I've been using you, too.
22:02I mean, I know what you want from your life.
22:06I've always known, but I let you lean on me.
22:12I enjoyed it.
22:15I guess, uh, I guess that was pretty selfish of me.
22:22It's over.
22:26And the awful part about that is, I think we've both known that for a very long time.
22:39I, I, I better, uh, I'll call the airline and cancel your reservations.
22:47And the, and the kid.
22:49Oh, uh, kid, uh, I'll catch them before I, uh, maybe I can get an earlier flight.
