I'm telling you, Marci,
that's not all her.

She stuffs it.

I bet you there's a half a box
of Kleenex in there.

Do you mind?

Come on.
You've been on that phone
long enough.

Now come around here
and give me a hand.

Oh, sure.

Marci, I've got to help
my dad fold the laundry.

Yeah, well,
I bet Bonnie could find out.

I mean, she's in
her gym class.

Samantha, that's not
what I meant!

I'm sorry. Bye Marci.
Gotta go. Yeah.

-Sorry.

Guess what?

I've got Guacamunchies.

Oh, hey,
cover your mouth
when you sneeze.

I don't want
the kids to get it.

Oh, it's the hottest
snack food on the West Coast.

I just landed the account
for our L.A. office.

Hey, hey, congratulations.
That's terrific.

Angela, got a fresh bag?
These are green.

They're supposed to be green.

They're avocado flavored.

Guacamole and chips
in one convenient bag.

-Daddy?
-This maybe a good time
to tell you, Angela.

Um, your ex-husband,
Michael, he called.

He's in town.

He's gonna come over.

He's here.

Michael's here?

Yeah. Yeah, well... Hey,
if you don't want to see him,
I can tell him you're out.

You know, on a date,
with Warren Beatty.

Tony,
You don't have to
make excuses for me.

I'm on top of the world.

See, I've got Guacamunchies.

I can handle seeing
my husband.

Um, it's your ex-husband.

Oh, right.

It might even be
fun to see him.

How much fun?

What kind of question is that?

Well, you know last time
he was here, you remember...

you had so much fun
that you...

You had a lot of fun.

Oh, my, little tiger,
you're getting so big.

That's because
I'm in the third grade!

Let's open my present now.

-Oh, uh... Let me just say
hello to your mom.
-Okay.

Hello.

Hello, Michael.

Well, what brings you
to Connecticut?

Michael, that's hideous.

Oh, hey, not to a lady iguana.

How do you know
it's not a lady?

-Check it out.
-Ahhh!

I think he's hungry, Dad.

Let's get him bugs.

Okay. I'll be out in a minute.

You start rounding up
the bugs.

I will.

Oh, well, I think I'll go in
and I'll start dinner myself.

You know, hey, Michael,
I hope the iguana
likes meatloaf.

So...

So...

You look good.

I do, don't I, huh?

-And I feel good too

I think it's because
I'm living in L.A.

I think I've learned to put
other people's concerns
ahead of my own.

I'm ready to share my space.

What?

Angela, I want
to get married again.

Oh...

Michael...

Her name is Heather.

She's wonderful.

Oh,
you're getting married!

You're getting married?

Dad, if I don't talk to Marci,
I'll die.

Uh, Angela...
Angela, are you okay?

Yeah, just helping you
clear the table.

You see, Angela,
people usually eat first
and then they clear the table.

Well, if you
want to do it that way.

Uh, An... Angela,

where's Michael?

He's outside giving
the big news to Jonathan.

Yep. Michael is getting
married to...

-Heather.
-Oh, I love that name.

There's a girl at our school
named Heather.

She's a cheerleader.

Aren't they all?

Sam, weren't you
on your way to Marci's?

-Oh, yeah. Bye.
-Bye.

-See you later, baby.
-Yeah.

Um, Angela,
are you okay about this?

I'm fine.

Now come on, Angela,

don't be brave
just because of me now.

If you're angry,
or you're hurt,

or you're jealous,
just let it out.

I'm not hurt,
angry and jealous.

-Just jealous?
-Tony!

Is it true?

Is it true?

Samantha just told me.

If you mean about Michael
getting remarried?

Oh, he's going to be
someone else's son-in-law?

That's right, Mother.

And I thought you
weren't listening.

Hey, I have an idea!

How would you like to be
the best man at my wedding?

Oh, yeah! Oh, boy.

But what's a best man?

Well, you know, little tiger,

when a guy gets
married he's got
a lot of things on his mind.

So, he needs a best friend
to help him out.

How would you like to come
to California and be
my best friend?

Yeah!

Just one thing.

What's that, little tiger?

You don't have to call
me that anymore.

I sort of hate it.

Oh.

With a name like Heather,

she's probably blonde,
and tanned and looks
great in a bikini.

I bet she's got the I.Q.
of a surfboard.

Hey, all the girls
in California are gorgeous.

I'm telling you,
they got a guy
at the Stateline.

Hey, if you're not blonde,
blue-eyed and built,
you're out.

I ran all the way
to Marci's house
and she wasn't even home.

That was silly.

You should've called first?

Gee, Dad,
why didn't I think of that?

Mom, guess what?

I'm going to be
the best man in California.

-What?
-Yeah, I asked him to stand up
for me at my wedding.

Oh, hello, Mona.

Hello, Michael.
Congratulations.

Thank you.

I hope you're going
to be very happy.

I know I am.

Excuse me, Michael,
but just like that,

you want Jonathan
to go to California?

Shouldn't you have
asked me about this?

Oh, yeah...
Well, can Jonathan
come to California?

Yeah, Mom.
Can I? Please?

You're going to be
busy getting married.

Who's going
to take care of him?

Uh, Angela, could you
taste this for me, please?

Not now, Tony.

Yeah, I know,
but it's a critical stage.

The kid wants to go
to his father's wedding.

Don't break his heart.

Go out on business.

Check up on Guacamunchies.

Check up on Heather.

It's a... very good sauce.

Michael, I, uh...

I have to go out
to California to kick off
the Guacamunchies campaign.

Why don't I just take
Jonathan along?

-Yay!
-Oh, thank you, Angela.

It'll be great.

Yeah, but, it won't work.

-It won't?
-Why not?

With you working all the time,

who's gonna pull Jonathan
out of the old hot tub?

I think what you need
is a housekeeper.

And a housekeeper's daughter.

Can I go? Can I? Can I?
Please, please, please.

Well, of course you can go.

Mother, what have you got
to do with this?

Well, if Tony's going to be
watching Jonathan all day

and you're working all day,

who's going to hang out
with me at the pool?

ANGELA: Oh, Jonathan, gross!

Hey!

Here we are.

Have a nice stay.

So far, so good.

Welcome to
the Beverly Palms Hotel.

Oh, thank you. Thank you.

Can I help you
with your luggage?

Oh, you can help me
with anything.

If you need anything,
just call.

Anything? Oh.

I love L.A.
Ooh.

TONY: Let's go.

Well... Look, could I get
some help here?

Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.

And no special
reception, Blake.

I don't want you
to treat me any differently
than Chrysler treats Iacocca.

Bye-bye.

Oh, Angela, we love our room.

-Don't we, pal.
-Yeah!

Yeah, we've got a view
of the tennis courts.

And there's a woman
down there with
a well-developed...

Backhand.

That's not what you
called it before.

Oh, whoa! Watch out.
It's the "Love Boat Mermaids".

Where are you two going?

Church, Angela.

Can you believe this?

It's 80 degrees in November.

I'll be tanned for Christmas.

Oh, wait till I tell Marci.

No! If you call her,
you're dead.

Don't go near the phone.

-I won't.

-I got it.
-No, no, I've got it.

Hello, Michael.

You... must be Heather?

Oh, what a lovely name.

And you must be Angela.
I have heard
so much about you.

-Samantha?
-Yeah.

-Tony?
-Hey, three for three.

And by process of elimination
you must be Mona.

She's very good at this.

I can see
why he's marrying her.

And this is Jonathan.

Oh!

Boy, you're pretty.

Why thank you, little tiger.

Oh, uh, honey,
I forgot to tell you.

He sort of hates that.

Oh, it's okay, Dad.

I like it when she says it.

Oh, uh, hey, how about,
I get somebody
some food, drinks?

I could whip up a quick
phone call to room service,
like that.

None for me, thank you,

Michael tells me you are
the president of a big green
potato chip company.

The potato chips
are an account.

Actually, I'm in advertising.

Oh, well... You said
potato chips, Michael.

I... I did. I'm sorry.

You were wrong about this,
you were wrong about,
"Little tiger".

What am I going
to do with you?

Men.

And what do you do, Heather?

Go to college?

No. I'm in the
documentary business.

Oh, hey, what a coincidence.

You and Michael are
in the same business, huh?

Yeah, I work with him.

I'm, ah...

Tomorrow's not good.

I have to work.

Oh. Well, hey,
then maybe we should
just do it another day, huh?

But can't we go without mom?

- Oh, uh...
Sure you can.
-Oh, uh...

The water's so nice.

-I could learn
to live like this.
-Yeah? Hey.

I wonder if Linda Evans
needs a housekeeper.

-Maybe Sean and Madonna do.
-Whoo!

You-hoo!

Hey, Angela, you made it.

Yeah. I had some time off
between meetings,

and so I thought
I'd come say hello.

-Hello.
-Great! Great,
sit down, sit down.

Nice outfit Angela.

You don't want to burn
too much the first day.

Hey, Jonathan,
look who's there.

Oh! Hi, sweetheart.

Hi, Mom.

Oh, he probably didn't
want to get you wet.

Thank you.
You look like
you're all having fun.

Well, I mean,
it's no day at the beach.

Well, I mean,
it is a day at the beach...

But without you,
it's no picnic.

Dad, can you pass
me a sandwich, please?

Oh, that's all right.
I'll, I'll get it, sweetheart.

-Oh, thanks, Angela.

-Here you go.
-Thanks.

-Uh, Angela?
-Yes, sweetheart.

Could you move?
You're kind of
blocking my sun.

Oh, sorry.

It's okay.

I have to be going anyway.

The green potato chips
people are waiting.

Aw...

-Thank you.
-Yeah.

-Thanks.
-Okay.

Hey, we're gonna
catch you later
for dinner, right?

-Right.
-Okay.

BOTH: Bye.

-Thanks, Tony.
I'll take him to bed.
-Okay.

I'm not tired.

I want to have more fun.

We'll have more fun tomorrow,
I promise, champ.

-SAMANTHA: Good night, Jon.
-All right. Roll him over.

Gimme my keys.

-Okay. Bye.
Okay. Thanks.

- He's out cold.
-SAMANTHA: Yeah.

So, what are we going
to do now?

Well, one of us
is going to bed.

Oh. Goodnight, Dad.

Fine.

Can I at least stay up
till Mona gets back?

I won't be up
when Mona gets back.

-Goodnight.
-Goodnight, sweetheart.
I love you.

-I'll see you tomorrow.
-I love you, too.

Phew.

Boy, was he exhausted.

Well, hey,
he put in a rough day
at the beach.

I know.

With Heather.

Look, Angela, um...

I know how rough it was,
you know, seeing Jonathan

and Heather
hit it off so good,

but I'm telling you
in the long run I think
it may work for the best.

I mean,
Michael's marrying her.

Yep, they do have
a lot in common.

They both worship
the ground he walks on.

You know, um...

Jonathan's really excited
about this wedding.

I know,

he asked me tonight
if I would come.

And what'd you say?

Tony, I just don't think
the bride

wants the ex-wife
at her wedding.

Well, actually,
I was speaking to the bride

and, uh, Heather said
she'd like us all to come.

She did?

Me too?

Yes, you too.

And you know what?
I don't think
it's such a bad idea.

Thank you.

I mean, look,
you show Jonathan that
everybody's still friends.

And this way, he doesn't
have to take sides.

Tony, I'm trying to be
wonderful about this

and I think
I'm doing a pretty good job.

-Mmm-hmm.
-Thank you.

But going to my ex-husband's
wedding is a little
too wonderful even for me.

Hey, Angela, come on.

Don't you want to go
and make sure Michael
goes through with it?

I mean, hey.
get this guy out of your life
once and for all.

That, uh,
is what you want, right?

Of course it is...

It's just that, uh...

I, I see him and her and it...

Just makes me feel...

I don't know...

Oh, come on, Angela.

You don't have anything
to feel, "
I don't know", about.

I mean... I mean
you've got a great life.

You've got a great kid.

You've got a great job...

You've got a world class
housekeeper if I might add.

He'll do.

Look, Heather's a nice kid.

She really is,

but I think she's
always just going to be

"Assistant to Michael Bower."

I guess that's what
Michael wanted from me.

I guess you wanted more.

I did.

I still do.

I don't want to be
married to Michael.

I like who I am
and I like what I'm doing.

All right, all right,
so then, hey.

You'll go to the wedding?
Heather said they're going
to have those baby quiches.

Well,

I would like to see
Jonathan walk down the aisle

-in his little tuxedo.
-Ooh.

Did she say anything
about shrimp puffs?

I think pigs in a blanket,
too, Angela.

BOTH: Ooh.

Well, why not?

I love
Michael's weddings.

I haven't missed one yet.

-Hey. Salute!
-Salute!

-Who is this? You know?
-I don't know.

Hey, Michael.

Come on in.

Hi, Michael.

I thought maybe
Mother forgot her key.

Oh, no.
I just saw her down
in the Mogambo room.

Uh, she's a finalist
in the limbo contest.

I just stopped by to say
goodnight to Jonathan.

Well, the way he's sacked out,
you could say goodnight
in the morning.

Well, then, uh...
There is something I'd like
to talk with Angela about.

Well, Michael.

Tony told me what you wanted
and I think it's a great idea.

-Tony?
-Well, yeah, you know I was...

-I spoke to Heather
on the beach.
-Yeah.

Michael,

I want you to know that
I think you're a great couple

and I wish you all the best

and you know how I love
those baby quiches.

Baby quiches?

-Yeah, you know,
the little pastries...
-They come in...

I'm trying to tell you that
I'll come to your wedding.

Oh, well that's great.
That'll
be terrific.

What are you talking about?

Well, uh, Angela, you know...

since Heather
and I are getting married
and settling down,

and well, you know
how much fun it's been
having Jonathan with us...

And you can see how much
he likes California...

-Angela...
-Hey, hey, wait a minute.

What are you saying?

He wants custody of Jonathan.
