[♪♪♪]

Could you believe her?

A white blouse with
a black bra!

Every guy in school
was staring.

Samantha, Samantha,

haven't you been
on that phone long enough?

Dad, this is important.

Do you have a black one
I could borrow?

He did?
[DOOR BELL CHIMES]

[SQUEALS]
I don't believe it!

Samantha, neither do I. You
think you could keep it down?

Tony, she's a little girl.
Little girls squeal.

[CHIMING CONTINUES]

ALL:
Hi!

TONY:
Hey, what do you say?

Dr. Ferguson, Dr. Schaeffer--
What's up, docs?

[CHUCKLES]

Well, we're engaged.

[BOTH SQUEAL]

That's great, that's great!
Come on in.

That's so romantic, huh?

Ooh, Dr. Paul and Isabel
Ferguson, a medical corporation.

[CHUCKLING]

I'm so happy for you.

Congratulations!

Oh, I've gotta call Marci
and tell her.

Um, I've already told her,
Samantha.

[ANNOYED]
You did?

Well, I am her father.

But I'm her best friend.

Sorry, I guess
I was out of line.

But Sam, she doesn't know
that you know.

All right!
All right, upstairs.

Okay.
Okay.

[GASPS]
Well, have you two
set a date yet?

We think so.

But I wanted to check it out
with you first.

Me? Why?

Because, um...I want you
to be my matron of honor.

[BOTH SQUEAL]

I'd love to.

What about Wendy?
Now, you've known her longer.

Won't she be hurt?
Gee, maybe it should be Wendy.

No way.

I seated you
next to each other

at my dinner party.
If it wasn't for me,

you would not
be getting married.

Maybe you seated them next to
each other at your party,

but you know what got
these two together?

My Oysters Micelli.
Hah, hah!

I believe in giving credit
where credit is due,

so, Tony, will you
be my best man?

Who me?
[SQUEALS]

[BOTH LAUGH]

Your refrigerator
is always so excellent.

I'm hoping now that my dad's
getting married,

maybe ours
won't be so pathetic.

Pathetic, Marci? It's scary.

I remember one time
I reached for something,

and it reached back.

Don't worry,
we k*lled that one.

So you don't mind
having a new stepmother?

No way!

All you have to do
is call 'em "mom"

and they'll give you
anything.

Really?

Uh-huh. They think
they have to be nice,

or you'll
wreck their marriage.

[CHUCKLES]
Oh, you know, you're good.

You should have
your own talk show.

These invitations--
Oh, they are so nice.

[GASPS]
Oh, look at that one.
Number 36.

No, no,
come on, Angela.

Not with all those
curlicues and stuff.

Come on, Tony.
This is a wedding.

The invitation should say
love and romance.

And when to be there.
Come on! Are you kidding me?

Back, back--
[TONY EXCLAIMS]

Number 25.
I like number 25.

You know, that is nice,
isn't it?

It's settled.
We'll go with number 25.

Number 25.

TONY: Write it down.
ANGELA: Okay.

Well, now that you two have
picked out their invitations,

perhaps you'd like to name
their children.

I've always liked
Anthony.

Tony, thanks a lot.
Angela, bye, bye!

Bye, bye.
Miss you.

Aw, they really are
great together.

You know, they were good friends
for such a long time,

and then one day,
Cupid's arrow

just found its mark.
[CHUCKLES]

Ain't love funny?
Yeah.

It's a real gut-buster.

I know Angela's romances have
always been good for a laugh.

[MOUTHS]
Mother!

Dad, can I ask you
something?

Anything, sweetheart.
Anytime, you know that.

As long as it's not about boys,
your allowance,

or a cordless telephone.

Ooh, cordless telephone!

Great idea.

You know, if I had
a bigger allowance,

I could buy one
and call boys from anywhere.

Samantha,
what did you want?

Do you ever think about
getting married again?

Uh, gee,
I don't know, I--

I mean, I was...I was
real happy with your mom.

I sure would like
to have that again.

But, hey, things are
different now.

You have me, right?
That's right.

Let me tell you something.
Any woman that I love

would have to love you
as much as I do.

What's not to love?
[CHUCKLES]

And then, you know,
I gotta find a woman

who accepts me for who
I am and what I do.

Aw, Dad,
you're in big trouble.

Mother, why-- Why would you ask
me a question like that?

Because inquiring minds
want to know.

Do you or do you not
want to get married again?

I don't know!

I'll tell you one thing,
if I did get remarried,

it wouldn't be to somebody
like Michael.

Thank you, Lord.

He was so threatened
by my success.

No... This time,
I'd like a man

that would be supportive
of my career,

that loves my son,

is sensitive
and considerate.

Mm. Gee, where would you ever
find a guy like that?

Hey, Angela, want me
to go down to the Cub Scouts

and pick up Jonathan
so you could get

some work done
on that new account?

[PIPE ORGAN PLAYING]

[WEDDING MARCH PLAYING
ON ORGAN]

Dear family
and friends,

we are here today
to join

this man and this woman
in matrimony.

Let us take a moment
to reflect

upon this
forthcoming marriage.

[ORGAN RESUMES PLAYING]

What are we supposed
to be doing?

Watching the bride
and groom reflect.

What do you think they're
reflecting about?

How much loot they're gonna
get for wedding presents.

Grandma, what do you think
they're reflecting about?

I wish I knew.

Probably
the wedding night.

[ORGAN MUSIC CEASES]

Do you take this woman
to be your wife,

to love and to cherish
for all of your life?

PAUL:
I do.

MINISTER:
Do you take this man
to be your husband,

to love and to cherish
for all of your life?

ISABEL:
I do.

The rings,
please.

With this ring, I pledge you
my never-ending love.

ISABEL:
With this ring, I pledge you
my never-ending love.

In accordance with the laws
of the State of Connecticut,

I now pronounce you
husband and wife.

You may kiss
the bride.

[♪♪♪]

[WEDDING RECESSIONAL PLAYING
ON ORGAN]

Perfect couple,
don't you think?

Perfect couple.

[♪♪♪]

[PEOPLE CHATTERING
INDISTINCTLY]

Wendy, I'm so sorry that Herb
couldn't make it to the wedding.

Well, he had to go
to a dental convention. Heh!

Of course,
he might have come

if his wife had been
matron of honor.

You know, your oldest
and dearest friend,

a woman who stood by you
through two children

and one divorce.

But Angela looks
lovely,

although peach
is my color.

She's taking it a lot better
than I thought.

[ALL EXCLAIMING]

This is so beautiful.

I've forgotten how
wonderful weddings can be.

It's almost like there's
love in the air.

Aw, come on, Angela.
That was-- That was Pine-Sol.

So, um, Angela, did
that trip down the aisle

give you any ideas?
Yeah, what do you say?

We've got the hall
for the rest of the evening.

Oh, hey, what is it with
every guy that gets married?

The minute they get
married,

they wanna marry
every other guy off they know.

Well,
misery loves company.

[GASPS]
Paul! Oh!

Looks like
the honeymoon's over.

[ALL CHUCKLING]
See ya later.

Hey, I think I'm gonna go down
to the old hors d'oeuvre table.

Ooh!
Huh?

Want me to bring you
some shrimp puffs?

Would you?
And some...

Little egg rolls?
Yeah.

And... I'm gonna
leave it up to you.

You probably know what
I like as well as I do.

Better.

Boy,
I'm stuffed.

I can't eat another bite.

May I take that, sir?
We're starting dinner soon.

Dinner?
Why didn't anyone tell me?

Oh!
[BOTH CHUCKLE]

It's not all for me.
[CHUCKLES]

Your wife sent you?

Oh, well, yeah,
but no, she's not my wife.

This was our first trip
down the aisle.

Oh, so you are
with her?

Who, Angela?

Is that her name?

No. I mean--
I mean, yeah,

that's her name.
I mean, her name's Angela.

But I'm not with her,
I'm sort of with her, heh.

Modern women... Never quite
know where you stand, huh?

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

I'm Geoffrey Wells.

Nice to meet you, Jeff.
That's Geoffrey, with a "G."

Hi, I'm Tony, with a "T."

Uh, you're all
alone, huh?

Shows, huh?
It's the plate.

You know, nothing's sadder
than hors d'oeuvres for one.

Well, I guess I'm still
looking for the right woman.

Where is that perfect
combination of attractiveness,

intelligence, sensitivity
and humor, huh?

Table six.
Hah, hah.

WENDY:
You want another rumaki?

Oh, maybe just one.

I'll pay you back
when Tony gets here.

Thank you so much.

And, uh, I promise,

the first bunny hop
is yours.

Oh. Sorry it took me so long.
Oh!

You must be starving, huh?
Aw, me? Don't be silly.

Oh, hi. I'm Tony Micelli.

Oh, this is Fred
and Ginger.

Not the Fred
and Ginger.

[ALL LAUGH]

Thanks for clearing
that up.

[ALL LAUGH]

They're Isabel's cousins
from Buffalo.

Oh, well, then
you must be very happy.

Oh, yes,
we love Buffalo.

Uh, Tony, you didn't bring
Angela any rumaki.

Angela doesn't
like rumaki.
I love it.

Well, you never eat it
when I make it.

Uh-oh.

Well, sometimes the liver's
a little dry.

My liver's dry?
Tony,

I don't think
this is the place.

Oh, sure. Tell a guy you hate
his liver, then drop it.

He's very sensitive
about his organs.

So how long you two been
together? Heh-heh-heh!

Two years. You'd think
you'd know a person.

Well, marriage is like that.
Heh-heh-heh.

Full of surprises.
[BOTH LAUGH]

Oh,
they're not married.

They just live together
and raise each other's children.

Well, maybe you should
get married.
Fred, shh!

Think of the kids.

What do they tell
their little friends.

I believe the minister's
still here.

Perhaps he'd give you
a discount.

Two sacred vows
for the price of one.

[CHUCKLING]

And if you act right now, we'll
throw in a matron of honor.

[ALL LAUGH]

Would you like to dance,
Angela?
I'd love to.

Excuse us, won't you?

[♪♪♪]

I guess we did sound a little
like a married couple.

Heh, heh.
Yeah.

Hey, what about that trip
down the aisle, huh?

Man, that was weird.

Certainly was.
[CHUCKLES]

What do you mean,
"weird"?

I don't know.
I mean, nothing bad, heh.

Just...

Weird.
Yeah.

[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]

[IN UNISON]
Have you...?

[CHUCKLES]
Go ahead.

No, no, no, please.
No, go ahead.

No, no, you.
No, you. Go ahead.

Angela, speak.
Okay.

I-- I was just...wondering
if you ever...

thought about
getting married again.

Huh! That's funny, because
that's what I was gonna ask you.

No.
Yeah.

Well, hav-- Have you ever
thought about it?

Me?
Yeah.

Not really.

How 'bout you?

Well...

No. Never.

Well, I admit,
I might have had a...

You know, a thought cross
my mind every once in a while.

But you can't hold a guy
responsible

for every thought that ever
crosses his mind.

I mean, hey, he'd get arrested
before he was out of puberty.

[BOTH LAUGH]

I, uh...

...may have had a stray
thought or two in my time.

Yeah, well,
you know.

Let me ask you, um...

You know, while your
thoughts were straying,

how far did they go?

Well, they, um...

...might have gone down
the bridal path, but, uh...

...only with
the right person.

Yeah.

Only with
the right person.

[MUSIC STOPS]

Hey,
you guys!

Yes, honey.

The band's taking a break.

Huh. Then I-- Heh.
I guess we should stop dancin'.

Thanks.
Excuse us.

I am so embarrassed.

Don't be.

Look, they're probably just
losing their hearing.

Uh, sorry if I made
you two uncomfortable.

I-- I'm a today kind of guy.
[CHUCKLES]

We can see that, Fred.

I mean, if you two
wanna live together,

it's no skin off
of my nose.

[CHUCKLES]

Well, that's, that's real big
of you there, Freddie, heh,

but we don't really live
together,

at least not the way you think.
I'm Angela's housekeeper.

Uh, oh. Well then,
I guess

marriage is
out of the question.

Hold it right there, Ginge.

As you well know,
good husbands are hard to find.

[FRED CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]

Especially ones who
do windows.

[ALL LAUGH]

Oh, well, then again
I guess it might be nice

having a husband who
didn't work.

FRED:
Well, I wouldn't mind living off
of the little lady for a while,

as long as my allowance
was big enough.

[CHUCKLING]
Right, Tony?

Anyone try the cracked crab?

Excuse me,
but if you think

Tony doesn't work
for a living,

you are sorely mistaken.
Oh, no, Angela, please.

Lighten up. I don't
need you to defend me.

I'm not defending you.
I simply wanna point out

that you have a very
challenging job.

[TONY GROANS]

Takes a lot of know-how,
and organizational skills

to be an effective
housekeeper.

Stuffed mushrooms, anyone?

Tony works hard.
He works damn hard.

And he has the dishpan hands
to prove it.

Wendy, he does not.
He wears rubber gloves.

[FRED & GINGER LAUGH]

Well, I guess that's
part of the know-how.

[FRED LAUGHS]

I think I could use
a refill.

You wanna get me one too,
Tony?

Sorry, Fred.

It's my day off.

More champagne, sir?

Champagne's not exactly
my style.

You got a beer
around here?

I'll check
with the chef.

Thanks a lot.

[♪♪♪]

Can I talk to you?

Sure. Talk.

I'm sorry about what I said
back there. I didn't mean it.

I mean, I--
I did mean it,

it's just that when
I heard myself saying it,

I-I just couldn't
believe

that I was saying it
s-so badly.

Sort of like right now.
[CHUCKLES]

Exactly.

The whole thing was
so awkward.

Now, look, let's
just forget about it.

They were
just joking around.

I don't think
it was very funny.

Are you kidding me,
come on?

What's funnier than
marrying your housekeeper?

That's not what I meant.

Come on,
let's think about it.

A big success like
you...

Who wouldn't get a kick
out of that?

Tony, just because
I'm a success

doesn't mean
I'm a snob.

I don't give a fig newton
what people say.

Angela,
watch your language.

Now, let's face it.

We both
gave a little fig.

Yeah.

[SMACKS GUMS]
Hey, what are we--

What are we talking about
marriage for, anyway?

I mean, what is it
with weddings, huh?

They make people crazy.

You-- You think
it's crazy?

Sure.

Don't you?

Sure.

[BAND MEMBER TAPS ON DRUMS]

WENDY:
All right, all right,
all you lucky single women,

gather 'round.

Time to scramble for
the bouquet.

Hey, look, tomorrow
the newlyweds

will be
on their honeymoon,

and we can stop
thinking

about this weddings
and stuff, huh?

Ab-absolutely.

[SIGHS]

Excuse me.

You look like an attractive,
intelligent, sensitive woman.

[CHUCKLES]
Well, you're very perceptive.

Good sense of humor too.

May I add "good dancer"
to the list?

Well...

I don't know.

Well, sure.
You're a great dancer.

Go ahead, show 'em.

Look, I understand if you're
in the middle of something.

No, no, no, it's okay.
We're through.

Yes.

I guess we are.

Thanks, Tony.

I think I owe you
a finder's fee on this one.

We are going to look great
on the dance floor.

[LAUGHS]

Don't be too sure.
Fred and Ginger are out there.

Tony?

Everything okay?

Sure, Mona.

You know
the old saying, right?

Always a bridesmaid,
never a bride.

Hey, Mone, care to dance?
I'd love to.

These feet
will never dance again.

Here, let me.

So let me ask you,

are you gonna see Geoffrey
with a "G" again?

Mm, probably.

Friday night.
Dinner and a Broadway show.

Well, I think it's great
you're seeing other people.

I think I should
be seeing people.

We both should
be seeing people.

Not the same people.
[LAUGHS] Right.

Different people.

[SIGHS]

Oh, Tony,
you're so good.

[♪♪♪]
