Don't worry, I'll catch you!
Do it!
(LAUGHS)

CONNIE:
Go, Rose!
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
Come on, you can do it.
You're doing it, Rose!
Yes!
You're flying!
(LAUGHS)
(HORN HONKING)
CONNIE:
Hey, watch out!
-MOVER GUY: You okay?
-Watch yourself, asshole!
MOVER GUY:
Me?
Look at you, what
are you talking about?
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
MAN 1:
I'll slap you right now.
NICK:
You assholes, serious?!
Turn that off!
Let's finish this shit
and go, please.
MAN 1:
Clap, bro.
MAN 2: All right.
You're fucking with me.
NICK: Stupid, who bought you
this jacket?
MAN 1:
Yeah, fuck you.
You okay?
Dad said
it's a better life here.
(ENGINE REVVING)
Not even a block, Rose.
And it stinks like shit.
Like shit and rotten eggs, Rose.
Just gross.
Hey, Uncle Nick!
Hope my bike is on
that stupid truck.
ALLIE:
Guys, guys, come on.
MAN 3:
You dealing with this, kid?
Just go get these in the house,
or you can go.
NICK:
Leave that, sweetie.
Boys' job.
Guys, let's go!
Allie, what'd I say?
Be a good kid,
help your cousins.
ALLIE:
I got it!
Wanna see a trick first?
Hmmm?
(LAUGHS)
(HORN HONKING)
JOE:
Whoa.
It's a beauty, right?
Not more beautiful
than my two girls.
NELLO: Joe, gonna get Linda
and the kids.
CONNIE: So cool, Dad,
but you don't even know.
Rose almost got taken out.
-JOE: Yeah?
-CONNIE: Yeah.
And you're dressing
like that butanna, again?
It's Madonna.
JOE:
Trust me, she's no Madonna.
Anyways, Mover Guy
almost ended Rose,
but I kicked him so hard.
Look, I even took one
to the face.
Some car, must be nice.
CONNIE: The Jerk wasn't even
much where he was going.
He could've crushed Rose,
he could've crushed me.
What's this?
Cool, Uncle Joe.
You coming to my
birthday party next week?
He just dropped some boxes.
I took care of it.
CONNIE:
No, you didn't.
I did.
JOE: Of course,
I wouldn't miss it.
Let me get that off your hands.
Let me tell you, he's supposed
to be watching shit.
CONNIE: He's too busy
doing his magic tricks.
-JOE: Take a walk.
-CONNIE: Idiot.
Nah, nah, it's okay.
(INDISTINCT SPEECH)
CONNIE: (SIGHS)
He's such a moron.
What'd I do?
Take it easy.
Girls, go inside,
get your mother.
CHRISTINE:
Hey, Madonna.
Do me a favor,
go through the rest of this box,
take all the pictures and put it
on that table over there.
How many design books
can Aunt Fran have?
CONNIE:
Rose, go get Ma.
JENNIFER: Ma, I really gotta
get back to the baby.
CHRISTINE:
I know, I know, we're going.
JENNIFER:
All right.
CHRISTINE:
Hey Sweet Pea, come here.
Say goodbye.
Listen.
I'm right across the bridge.
We're still gonna go
on our walks
and buy rainbow cookies, okay?
-And have our little talks.
-(BOTH CHUCKLES)
Mom, let's go, now.
Allie, hey, what happened?
His head is up his ass,
that's what happened.
Let's go,
leave him to their house.
Okay, look, tell your mother
I left food
in the refrigerator, okay?
NICK: Maybe get him some more
of that magician shit.
I'm going to pull a rabbit
out of his ass, I'm in the car!
(FRANCINE SINGING INDISTINCTLY)
FRANCINE: (SINGING)
I want him out
I want him out that door now
Goodbye, Mr. Love, love
Mm-hmm, mmm, mmm
(INDISTINCT SINGING)
Oh, shit.
-Christ.
-Tell me about scaring people.
It's a good bathroom, huh?
Look at this, it's nice.
Your dad here?
Oh, no, no, no, stay,
let him wait, let him wait.
Be good, give me my mascara.
Thank you.
He uprooted us, he can wait.
What happened to Aunt Chris?
She leave?
Baby, I thought
you were excited about the move.
Listen to your mother,
you got
a whole new neighborhood,
a whole bunch of nice kids...
a private yard,
we don't have to see into
the nasty neighbor's yards
where the mothers don't invite
you girls in the pool.
The nerve,
you know, you just gotta talk
a little, right, baby?
Okay.
(FRANCINE SIGHS)
It's gonna be good,
it's gonna be good.
There were some good people
in Brooklyn though,
you and Chris, cousins.
You know Streisand
was from Brooklyn?
Yeah, some voice.
-But that nose.
-(ROSE LAUGH)
Huh, right?
Baby, trade-offs, trust me,
trust your mother, trade-offs.
We say thank God
for our blessing.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
CONNIE:
You guys doing makeup crap?
Dad wants you.
Excuse me, we're fixing
things, Connie,
thank you very much.
CONNIE:
Bullshit.
Come here, she's fine.
My girl, it's gonna be
good here, I promise.
How could it not with this face?
Look at that face.
You can go anywhere in the world
you want, Rose, with that face.
You just make sure you take
your mom with you when you go.
Ooh.
Go tell them I'm coming.
(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)
CONNIE: Rose, come see this,
I'm in the garage.
-Boo!
-(GASPS, LAUGHS)
Come on, don't tell dad.
Come on, let's get in here.
Let's go, come on.
JOE:
What are you saying?
NELLO:
He's your brother-in-law...
JOE: Look, this is the key
to that trouble.
Let's jump on three.
One, two--
JOE:
When I give you boxes,
why the fuck would you put it
in here,
where my family is?
NELLO:
Where'd you want me to put it?
I need this
the fuck out of here.
NELLO:
This is Nick's responsibility.
How many times are you gonna
clean up after this moron?
It's your brother-in-law,
your family.
He's taking advantage
of the relationship.
-JOE: Yeah, my family.
-NELLO: This isn't on me.
JOE:
All right, do me a favor,
just get it the
fuck out of here.
NELLO:
It's last time, Joe.
()
FRANCINE:
Come here, baby.
FRANCINE: Come here.
CONNIE: No!
-FRANCINE: Just let me do it.
-CONNIE: No!
Well, I mean, seriously,
where was Nick?
FRANCINE: Okay, dad,
so if we don't live
on a block anymore
like we did in Brooklyn,
how do we have block parties?
Street parties, wise guy.
-FRANCINE: Come here, Connie.
-CONNIE: No!
FRANCINE: Connie,
we're starting a new school
looking like we beat you.
It's not cute.
You are his daughter,
not his son.
Remember that.
And you want to tell me
what you two were doing
in the garage?
I heard something going on.
-Just tell me.
-You were in the garage.
Oh, Con-- Connie,
I don't like the lying.
CONNIE:
Hmmm
JOE:
Fran, they weren't in there.
It was me, I was
talking to Nello.
Garage door's all messed up,
it's gotta get fixed.
Nello was here?
JOE:
Yeah, lives next door.
You would know that
if you came and said hello.
I mean, seriously.
I mean, I heard
that the dump smells worse
at certain times of day,
but this is disgusting.
CONNIE:
Nasty.
FRANCINE:
Ugh.
-JOE: I don't smell nothing.
-Of course.
Of course.
(FRANCINE SIGHS)
What's the shake for?
I didn't know
Nello lived next door.
All right, so now you know.
It's instant friends
for the girls.
Isn't that what we wanted?
Kids were bothering them
on the old block.
So this is no good either.
No block parties, it smells.
Anything else?
FRANCINE:
No.
This family's what matters.
Everything I do is
for the betterment of my girls.
Don't you know that?
Don't you trust that?
Don't you trust me?
(SNIFFLES)
Do you trust me
to drive this plane?
(LAUGHS)
JOE:
All right, buckle up.
(LAUGHS)
Shh, breaker, breaker, one nine.
Do we have clearance
for takeoff?
FRANCINE: This only works
in the car, Joe.
Copilot, I repeat, do we
have clearance for takeoff?
Yes, we have clearance
for takeoff.
What happened to that first?
(LAUGHS)
FRANCINE: Shhh...
We have clearance for takeoff.
JOE:
Folks, I'm sorry.
Once again, our copilot
is out to lunch.
FRANCINE:
Oh, ha, ha.
JOE:
So just buckle up,
and we're gonna get this show
on the road.
Right now, it's gonna be a
little turbulent, all right?
-Shh...
-(CONNIE & ROSE SCREAMS)
Boom. Shhhhh....

(KIDS SHOUTING & SPEAKING
INDISTINCTLY)
CONNIE: Dad said
there were two kinds of people
in Staten Island.
WOMAN 1:
You're in the crosswalk.
I'm walking with kids here.
CONNIE:
Pussies and wise guys.
They look like pussies.
FRANCINE: Oh, Connie,
that Catholic school uniform's
gonna burst into flames soon.
-Come here, let me do this.
-You did this already.
FRANCINE:
I'm doing it again!
Of course.
FRANCINE: (SIGHS)
Turn your head!
CONNIE:
It's turned!
At least let them think
we're not animals.
Baby, that's medicinal.
It's not for you.
CONNIE: What the hell's
medicinal anyways?
FRANCINE:
It means not for you.
-Come here, one more time. Come.
-We don't have time.
FRANCINE:
Don't make me stretch.
You ladies wanna tell me
what happened
in the garage yesterday?
CONNIE:
Mm.
Your mother's not an idiot.
CONNIE:
Um, we gotta go.
Come on, Rose.
No kiss? All right.
CONNIE:
No kiss mom.
Goodbye, Connie.
CONNIE:
Bye.
Rose, you know your mother's
your best friend, right?
I wish you'd talked to me.
(BELL RINGING)
Go! She's coming!
I don't wanna be late.
She's-- hey, wanna go
get a McMuffin instead?
(BOTH LAUGHS)
FRANCINE: Rosie, I always
have something for you.
Listen to your mother.
Your dad laughs
at my decorating, but I'm good.
I know I'm good.
Never getting through
all these clothes.
Oh, my God,
would you look at this?
Ugh, I remember this night
like it was yesterday.
Oh, my God.
So I used to love to dance,
and I used to go
to these nightclubs,
but I would sneak
out of the house,
'cause your grandmother
would kill me,
and I bought this outfit
on my own, right?
And this man in this gorgeous
suit comes up to me,
and he says, "Here's my card.
I wanna take your pictures,
'cause I think you're a star."
(CHUCKLES)
Oh, my God.
It was so exciting.
Your aunt found out
what happened,
and she told your grandmother,
and they threw away the card.
But your mom was smart.
I already memorized the number.
Yeah.
I think I still know it.
You wanna call?
You wanna call?
We should call, right?
Let's call! Right?
Why not?
We could be the dynamic duo.
We can be
the dynamic modeling duo.
Okay, wait, wait,
let me think, let me think.
-It's, uh, 212-212-777--
-(PHONE RINGING)
Wait, baby, wait. Um, uh...
Hi, hello.
(CHUCKLES)
No, I'm not out of breath.
Well, no, I took--
I was defrosting.
It-- it won't be ech--
yeah, well, then.
Yeah, um, no,
I'll order something.
Okay.
Yeah. Goodbye.
Can't get a word in.
Dad wants to eat early.
He has some business
take care of tonight, so...
Donahue's almost on.
Put that away.
Who wants to hear 'em?
(APPLAUSE)
Marlo Thomas stars in "Thieves"
for Paramount Pictures,
and we hope
that you have a nice day.
Goodbye, everybody.
-Thanks.
-(APPLAUSE)
WOMAN 2 ON TV: You wanna be
the good church girl
because she want everybody
to like you.
That is such a burden for--
the women have, you know?
WOMAN 2 ON TV:
Yeah.
WOMAN 3 ON TV: You were
desperate for attention.
Cause you felt
you weren't pretty.
WOMAN 2 ON TV: I remember once
when my mom was gone,
and I was home, um...
and the shame that
I felt was so great.
And I felt like I had been such
a disappointment to my parents,
and to, you know,
I felt like I had ruined
everybody's life involved.
JOE:
All right, I gotta go.
CONNIE:
Wait, no, no.
Take your fortune cookie.
(LAUGHS)
You like Chinese food. Come on.
CONNIE:
Original.
All right, girls. I love you.
-Bye.
-Bye.

It's everywhere!
You think I'm a fucking idiot!
It's two o'clock in
the fucking morning!
What are you washing, huh?
What are you washing at two
in the goddamn morning!
-Not to touch my stuff!
-JOE: Hey, I shut the water.
Calm the fuck down,
Fran, right?
FRANCINE: No, no, because
it's one fucking weak.
I ask one thing.
I ask one thing.
I ask, don't touch
my fucking stuff!
Everything's broken!
Girls, go to bed.
Everything's okay.
No, it's not okay, girls.
It's not okay!
One week, we're here.
It's just a fucking
washing machine!
FRANCINE: Were here one fucking
week, nothing's better.
Alright!
Get the fuck off the floor
and go to bed!
FRANCINE:
Same damn shit.
Girls,

-FRANCINE: Same damn shit.
-Go to bed. Go to bed now.
FRANCINE:

JOE:
Calm the fuck down.
FRANCINE:

Want to make a fort?
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING

Mr. Lion's the shit, Rose.
Nothing happens
when he's around.
(PHONE RINGS)
Mom!
I got you.
I'll be right back.
The phone is ringing again!
Hello?
Oh, hey, Aunt Chris.
Yeah.
Someone ate all the
icing off the cake.
Hey, Chris, I'm sorry...
Yeah, I called you back, yeah.
Chris, no, I'm sure
he's gonna turn up.
Just, just, you just need
to calm down.
Just take a deep breath.
Joe, Joe was-- Joe was here.
Okay, okay.
Yeah, no, we'll be there.
Okay, okay, bye.

You shall cross
the barren desert
But you shall not die
of thirst
You shall wander far
in safety
Though you do not know
the way
You shall speak your words
in foreign lands
And all will understand
You shall see the face
of God and live
Be not afraid
I go before you always
Come, follow me,
and I will give you rest
(BABY CRYING)
(SHUSHES)
MS. GERRADI:

(LAUGHING)
When a world falls in love
every--
Alright, everybody.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
Merry Christmas.
To my beautiful girls.
Yeah, Connie!
To my beautiful girls.
She's on the phone
with the Frankie kid again.
No, I know, sorry.
You don't have girls.
I have nothing to worry about.
Don't worry, because
you have to get a date first.
Oh, you're a comedian.
What happened to you then,
Connie?
Nothing.
What happened to your face?
What happened?
CONNIE:
Nothing.
-Show me.
-I fell.
All right, all right.
To my beautiful girls.
The light of my life.
To our families.
The ones that are here.
The ones that are in heaven.
Our newcomers.
Salud, everybody.
ALLIE:
Salud.
STAN:
It's good to be here, Joe.
-CHRISTINE: Merry Christmas.
-ALLIE: Merry Christmas.
FRANCINE:
Merry Christmas.
CONNIE:
Love you all.
Okay. All right. That's right.
CHRISTINE:
Oh, no way.
I walked away
literally one minute.
You're-- you're holding.
I'm not holding, Rosie.
Mama needs a new pair of shoes.
So think some poor child's
gonna call this one mom.
(LAUGHS)
I love you too.
Come here, you crazy.
CHRISTINE: You know
who would have beaten you?
FRANCINE:
Grandma.
Oh, forget it.
If Grandma was here.
She would kill you.
She was the original
going to Atlantic City.
She went every, every weekend.
Every weekend.
She would have taken you down.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
-My father did a lot of things.
-CHRISTINE: Oh, come on.
No, Jennifer should be
here with the babies.
All right, well,
she was here two years in a row.
Now she's at the Anthony's.
It's their turn,
and they don't want to go.
(LAUGHS)
Anyway, it's gonna be only
a few years before these
two have little babies.
FRANCINE:
Yeah.
I don't even know
if I want to have kids.
It's awful.
It's really awful, Rose.
Why would you say
something like that?
Try losing a kid and then see
you say something like that.
CONNIE:
Mom, mom, mom.
No, that's so disrespectful.
That's disrespectful.
-CONNIE: All right.
-FRANCINE: It's a gift from God.
CHRISTINE:
She didn't mean it like that.
She didn't mean it
like that, though.
FRANCINE: That's it.
That conversation's over.
We need to sing carols
anyway, right, Joe?
-Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Hold on a second.
I think we should have Allie
do some magic tricks.
STAN: Why you gotta-- stop?
I'm not gonna fucking laugh.
And besides, he was good.
ALLIE:
You're never gonna let me down.
FRANCINE: If he means
not making fun of him--
ALLIE:
I'll make the money disappear.
There you go.
How about that?
All right, you know
what we're gonna do? Hey, hey.
All right, what are
we gonna sing here?
Not you, Fran.
Hey, I'm good.
Don't-- don't even.
She has a beautiful voice.
Yeah, I've had
a lot of opportunities.
Don't forget it.
I got scouted by that--
Big photographer guy.
-How can we forget?
-All comedians.
You're all comedians.
Yeah, but you know,
you tell that story.
You always miss the
best part of it.
-CONNIE: You tell it, Dad.
-All right.
So this big photographer guy
who tells your mother
she's gonna be a superstar,
also tells all the other girls
in the neighborhood.
Now, he's collecting money
left and right.
This one goes upstairs and robs
money underneath the mattress
-of your grandmother.
-CONNIE: Ooh.
JOE:
All hell breaks loose.
Now, even I was scared of her.
Now, she's chasing her
up and down the street.
-With a slipper.
-JOE: A slipper.
A famous slipper.
Now, I got to calm her down.
I'm like, "Okay,
don't worry about it.
I'll try to find this guy.
I'll get the money back."
I finally find him.
He's in a studio, his apartment,
laying on the couch,
dressed in ladies' underwear.
So what?
JOE: Stan, I'm telling you,
this guy was a nut job.
STAN: Don't knock it
till you try it.
ALLIE:
Yeah, it sounds like Stan.
FRANCINE:
Shut up. That's right.
Hold on. Hold on. Be quiet.
What is that?
-What?
-JOE: Be quiet.
Joe, what?
-Joe?
-I hear something. Sit down.
-No--
-Sit down.
Oh, we're not going to fall
for that again.
-There's no Santa on--
-Be quiet.
Connie.
What?
JOE:
Connie, come here.
-STAN: What is that?
-JOE: Come here.
STAN:
What is this?
FRANCINE:
What did you do, Connie?
JOE: What is that thing
over there?
-CONNIE: The car?
-JOE: Yeah.
CONNIE:
I don't know whose car is that.
JOE:
It's your car.
-What?
-Yeah.
-FRANCINE: Oh.
-CONNIE: No!
JOE:
You better be careful.
-No! No! No!
-Stop.
You bought me a car?
Yeah, great.
Just what this world needed.
-CONNIE: I got a car!
-ROSE: What?
FRANCINE:
My God, my nerves.
ALLIE:
Here you go.
You know, it's a lot easier
to just burn your money.
(SCREAMING)
Thank you, dad.
I love you.
FRANCINE: They need change.
They need change.
Oh, my God.
FRANCINE:
Enough.
CONNIE: Look, this is,
I got the black leather seats.
JOE:
All right, already.
FRANCINE: You do not
use this change.
This is important.
It is bad luck.
And you cannot drive
until your birthday.
Come on. Come on.
Let's go inside.
Let's go inside.
JOE:
Hey, come on.
CONNIE: I don't want to go.
I want to stay in my new car.
(LAUGHING)
-JOE: Come on.
-(HORN HONKING)
FRANCINE:
Who is this?
Merry Christmas.
What is--
(GASPING)
-Don't Uncle Joe, don't fuck--
-That's yours.
-What?
-ALLIE: Is he being serious?
Look at the fucking way--
Uncle Joe, are you serious?
-This is mine?
-JOE: That's yours.
(LAUGHING)
FRANCINE:
You're crazy.
ALLIE:
Thank you. Thank you.
(LAUGHING)
-JOE: Get in.
-ALLIE: Oh, shit.
Hey, Connie,
your 15 seconds is up.
JOE:
Hey!
ALLIE:
Look at this fucking thing.
Oh, shit.
Where does a girl who wears
no underwear and pantyhose live?
Flat bush.
(LAUGHING)
Hey, Gloria,
don't forget to confess
that you're a slut rag.
(LAUGHING)
Miss Pompeo,
this is God's house.
Pray!
It's never you.
You'd run naked down the aisle
and not get in trouble.
My dad needs to start
paying off the school.
My mom said
he's not an honest man.
It's why you think
who you are sometimes.
I can't.
I still love you, though.
TARA: Ooh, Rosie's
rolling her skirt.
(LAUGHING)
(FOOTSTEPS FALLING)
Miss Larusso,
you're a smart girl.
You should choose
better friends.
And you, unroll that skirt,
you little minx.
Get in here.
Six Hail Marys.
ROSE: Everyone was looking at me
like they all knew something
I didn't understand.
Sister Fuckface better
not touch you.
If your friend is mad
about that,
then she's not your friend.
She's not your people.
Who are my people then?
Who's car is that?

STAN:
Okay, okay.
Alright. Yeah.
Alright.
I can't tell him.
(STAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
STAN:
Mm-hmm.
CONNIE: I don't know
what smells worse,
the dump or the water.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
What is this place?
I don't know.
I just drive
until I reach the end.
This is the end. Yeah.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
You don't believe Mom, do you?
That we were robbed?
And Dad's in AC for work?
But I think she'd tell us
if he wasn't okay though, right?
He's okay, Rose.
ROSE: The city looks so close
from here.
CONNIE:
I know.
I feel like I could just swim
all the way across.
So beautiful.
Is that why you come here?
We should move there.
To the city.
-(CONNIE LAUGHS)
-What?
-CONNIE: To the city.
-Fuck you.
Why not?
You used to love it
when we'd go Christmas
-and see the tree and--
-(CLEARS THROAT) Yeah.
Fight over who'd find
the tallest buildings
and try to count all the people,
but we couldn't count that high.
Dad would play airplane
in the car.
Mom would fuck it up
every single time.
Every time.
They'd make us count the lights
in the tunnel to get us
to shut up 'cause we were
so fucking loud.
CONNIE: Something like
100 lights in that tunnel.
We'd get so dizzy.
CONNIE: You remember when I wore
those hats all the time?
And I thought that dad loved it
'cause it was like a little boy.
And mom fucking hated it.
And I would hide my hair in it
and she would fucking grab
the hats.
And you'd take little bangs
down too,
so it looked like
you had like boy hair.
I liked it.
I liked it too, always
putting me fucking down.
I wanted to have my hair back.
Kids do such weird shit.
Con?
CONNIE:
Yeah.
Is dad an honest man?
What?
An honest man.
Where did you get
that from Rose?
Did your friend ask you that?
What'd you say?
You stood up for him, right?
A man that gives you everything,
you stood up for him.
You said something, right?
You didn't just stand there
and let some scum say shit
about your own family?
Of course, if they're saying
shit about him then they're
saying shit about all of us.
You understand that, right?
So you did that.
Jesus, Rose, speak up.
You did that, right?
Hello?
Get out. Get out.
Get out, get out,
walk home, get out.
You think I'm fucking
joking, get out.
ROSE:
Connie, what? Stop.
-Get out.
-ROSE: Connie!
Connie, stop it!
You wanna know
who your fucking people are?
I am, Rose.
I'm your fucking people.
Dad's your fucking people,
your family
is your fucking people.
Step up and realize that
or you won't fucking have one.
Do you understand
what I'm saying?
Do you hear me?
I'm done with you.
BOBBY:
I got up, it was me and Allie.
I got up, my fucking

I'm holding that shit,
it hurts so fucking bad.
MAN 5:
Who's this man?
ALLIE: Bobby, where the fuck
you going? I wanna--
BOBBY:
Fuck off.
ALLIE:
He is so out to lunch.
Come out of the car.
Girl, hang out,
I don't know why you're just
being weird sitting in the car.
Please.
CONNIE:
Bobby, leave her alone.
Please, I can't hang out
with these assholes anymore.
I'll do anything for you to get
out of the car right now.
CONNIE:
Bobby!
Bobby, get off of my car.
ANGELA: What's up, Bobby,
were you fucking--
CONNIE: Get off of my--
get off of my car.
Leave her alone,
she doesn't want to get out.
I think you'd have more fun
out here than inside the car.
MAN 5:
Show some fucking respect.
Me and Allie, he comes out
of nowhere and grabs a bat.
I swear to God, he grabs a bat.
Bashes is the guy's

What happened?
Don't tell me to calm down,
look at their faces.
Look at their faces.
Who fucking did this?
ALLIE: It was Danielle Deleo
and her little cousin.
I'll take care of it, Aunt Fran,
don't worry about it.
FRANCINE:
Danielle Deleo--
CONNIE:
You fucking asshole.
FRANCINE: What, you're friends
with this kid?
That's your friend?!
That's your friend,
she was at this fucking house.
Our families are friends,
Connie.
Over what?
Over that fucking kid.
Over the kid?
FRANCINE:
Yes, the fucking kid.
Was it over that fucking kid?
CONNIE: I wanna say
something right now,
I feel like you know
what I wanna say, Mom, come on.
FRANCINE:
You stupid girl.

I'm being stupid?

-Over the kid?
What-- what the fuck
is wrong with you?
What's wrong with me?

What's wrong with you?
I'm trying
to fucking protect you.
And you, you let her do this,
do you?
ALLIE:
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
FRANCINE:
I can't do this right now.
CHRISTINE: It's the mother's
worst nightmare,
to see her babies hurt.
You know, we do everything
to protect them, but...
They're so much alike.
Your mother and Connie.
Fighters.
With a fire
that just does not go out.
And it just gets bigger, bigger.
Takes up the whole world.
And there's no space
for anything else.
I know.
I dragged her out
of a lot of situations.
But it takes a toll.
You know?
You know, for years
she blamed herself.
And she miscarried your brother.
She thought God punished her.
What was she so angry about?
CHRISTINE:
Mmmm.
You know, just...
You get to...
a certain point in your life,
and you gotta accept
that things aren't really
gonna work out...
the way you dreamt they were.
(SNIFFLES)
You've accepted it?
Life...
Uncle Nick.
Uncle Nick.
Uncle Nick killed himself.
Which was very selfish.
Yeah, I mean,
what choice did I have?
But, you never wanted
to know why.
No.
No.
Some questions are just...
Better left unanswered.

Nice job, Mom.
Can I have some?
You're a wise-ass, Connie.
My nerves are shot, okay?
And so is your sister's.
She's not going anywhere,

It's much scarier in that bed

Dad hasn't called

You don't need this one.

Don't look at me like that.
Why, is it the wedding thing?
Because if you're mad at me,

I really don't deserve it.
I really don't.
You should be happy
you have a man

of an entire room of people
and declares his love for you.
Believe me.
You're just standing there.
I mean,
you're embarrassing everyone.
You-- you're gonna say no?

say no, but not like that.
You've been with a guy
for years.
But hey, it's not my decision.
But--
Listen, you can stay here
for the rest of your life.
Believe me,
I'd like nothing more.

My father only did this
to keep your pathetic ass
out of trouble, you dumb fuck.
So why is he doing it for you,

It's 'cause you're a fucking

Fun night?
I told Bobby I don't want
to be engaged.
He said that we can move
if I wanted to.
He also said that I was crazy.
And I don't understand
why I'm crazy
for just wanting to be something
more than just a wife.
I could do something.
The Sally Jessie show,
they're looking
for a guest host,
I'm thinking
about trying out.
And if that doesn't work out,
then maybe I go
to beauty school
because I know
that there's one.
It's called Wilfred
and I could go.
I mean I could even pay for it
myself with that money
that you put in the account
for me,
because you said that I could
do anything I wanted to,
right Mom?
So you wouldn't have
to do anything.
What do you think?
I think you have it all
figured out.

You're led to believe

He's not the man

right all the time,

for the right reasons.
He did what he had to do
to survive.
We all did.
I have to pee.
Rose!
Do not move.
You know, Mom said
something to me

a while ago.
She said
that she saw you standing

actually is.

and they would say, "He is this.
He did this."
Look what he's done
to this fucking family!
To you! Fuck!
You want your daughter to--
Don't you fucking dare!
My daughter will grow up
and not be a judgmental little
bitch like you.
She'll be a fucking coward.
Look at yourself.

This is your family!
I know exactly who Dad is.

He's my father.

He paid for the bakery.

FRANCINE: (SINGING)
I want him out
I want him out that door now
Goodbye, Mr. Love, love
Mm-hmm, mmm, mmm
(INDISTINCT SINGING)
Oh, shit.
-Christ.
-Tell me about scaring people.
It's a good bathroom, huh?
Look at this, it's nice.
Your dad here?
Oh, no, no, no, stay,
let him wait, let him wait.
Be good, give me my mascara.
Thank you.
He uprooted us, he can wait.
What happened to Aunt Chris?
She leave?
Baby, I thought
you were excited about the move.
Listen to your mother,
you got
a whole new neighborhood,
a whole bunch of nice kids...
a private yard,
we don't have to see into
the nasty neighbor's yards
where the mothers don't invite
you girls in the pool.
The nerve,
you know, you just gotta talk
a little, right, baby?
Okay.
(FRANCINE SIGHS)
It's gonna be good,
it's gonna be good.
There were some good people
in Brooklyn though,
you and Chris, cousins.
You know Streisand
was from Brooklyn?
Yeah, some voice.
-But that nose.
-(ROSE LAUGH)
Huh, right?
Baby, trade-offs, trust me,
trust your mother, trade-offs.
We say thank God
for our blessing.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
CONNIE:
You guys doing makeup crap?
Dad wants you.
Excuse me, we're fixing
things, Connie,
thank you very much.
CONNIE:
Bullshit.
Come here, she's fine.
My girl, it's gonna be
good here, I promise.
How could it not with this face?
Look at that face.
You can go anywhere in the world
you want, Rose, with that face.
You just make sure you take
your mom with you when you go.
Ooh.
Go tell them I'm coming.
(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)
CONNIE: Rose, come see this,
I'm in the garage.
-Boo!
-(GASPS, LAUGHS)
Come on, don't tell dad.
Come on, let's get in here.
Let's go, come on.
JOE:
What are you saying?
NELLO:
He's your brother-in-law...
JOE: Look, this is the key
to that trouble.
Let's jump on three.
One, two--
JOE:
When I give you boxes,
why the fuck would you put it
in here,
where my family is?
NELLO:
Where'd you want me to put it?
I need this
the fuck out of here.
NELLO:
This is Nick's responsibility.
How many times are you gonna
clean up after this moron?
It's your brother-in-law,
your family.
He's taking advantage
of the relationship.
-JOE: Yeah, my family.
-NELLO: This isn't on me.
JOE:
All right, do me a favor,
just get it the
fuck out of here.
NELLO:
It's last time, Joe.

FRANCINE:
Come here, baby.
FRANCINE: Come here.
CONNIE: No!
-FRANCINE: Just let me do it.
-CONNIE: No!
Well, I mean, seriously,
where was Nick?
FRANCINE: Okay, dad,
so if we don't live
on a block anymore
like we did in Brooklyn,
how do we have block parties?
Street parties, wise guy.
-FRANCINE: Come here, Connie.
-CONNIE: No!
FRANCINE: Connie,
we're starting a new school
looking like we beat you.
It's not cute.
You are his daughter,
not his son.
Remember that.
And you want to tell me
what you two were doing
in the garage?
I heard something going on.
-Just tell me.
-You were in the garage.
Oh, Con-- Connie,
I don't like the lying.
CONNIE:
Hmmm
JOE:
Fran, they weren't in there.
It was me, I was
talking to Nello.
Garage door's all messed up,
it's gotta get fixed.
Nello was here?
JOE:
Yeah, lives next door.
You would know that
if you came and said hello.
I mean, seriously.
I mean, I heard
that the dump smells worse
at certain times of day,
but this is disgusting.
CONNIE:
Nasty.
FRANCINE:
Ugh.
-JOE: I don't smell nothing.
-Of course.
Of course.
(FRANCINE SIGHS)
What's the shake for?
I didn't know
Nello lived next door.
All right, so now you know.
It's instant friends
for the girls.
Isn't that what we wanted?
Kids were bothering them
on the old block.
So this is no good either.
No block parties, it smells.
Anything else?
FRANCINE:
No.
This family's what matters.
Everything I do is
for the betterment of my girls.
Don't you know that?
Don't you trust that?
Don't you trust me?
(SNIFFLES)
Do you trust me
to drive this plane?
(LAUGHS)
JOE:
All right, buckle up.
(LAUGHS)
Shh, breaker, breaker, one nine.
Do we have clearance
for takeoff?
FRANCINE: This only works
in the car, Joe.
Copilot, I repeat, do we
have clearance for takeoff?
Yes, we have clearance
for takeoff.
What happened to that first?
(LAUGHS)
FRANCINE: Shhh...
We have clearance for takeoff.
JOE:
Folks, I'm sorry.
Once again, our copilot
is out to lunch.
FRANCINE:
Oh, ha, ha.
JOE:
So just buckle up,
and we're gonna get this show
on the road.
Right now, it's gonna be a
little turbulent, all right?
-Shh...
-(CONNIE & ROSE SCREAMS)
Boom. Shhhhh....

You're in the crosswalk.
I'm walking with kids here.

Pussies and wise guys.
They look like pussies.
FRANCINE: Oh, Connie,

It's turned!
At least let them think
we're not animals.
Baby, that's medicinal.
It's not for you.
CONNIE: What the hell's
medicinal anyways?
FRANCINE:
It means not for you.
-Come here, one more time. Come.
-We don't have time.
FRANCINE:
Don't make me stretch.
You ladies wanna tell me
what happened
in the garage yesterday?
CONNIE:
Mm.
Your mother's not an idiot.
CONNIE:
Um, we gotta go.
Come on, Rose.
No kiss? All right.
CONNIE:
No kiss mom.
Goodbye, Connie.
CONNIE:

Rose, you know your mother's
your best friend, right?
I wish you'd talked to me.

Go! She's coming!
I don't wanna be late.
She's-- hey, wanna go
get a McMuffin instead?
(BOTH LAUGHS)
FRANCINE: Rosie, I always
have something for you.
Listen to your mother.
Your dad laughs
at my decorating, but I'm good.
I know I'm good.
Never getting through
all these clothes.
Oh, my God,
would you look at this?
Ugh, I remember this night
like it was yesterday.
Oh, my God.
So I used to love to dance,
and I used to go
to these nightclubs,
but I would sneak
out of the house,
'cause your grandmother
would kill me,
and I bought this outfit
on my own, right?
And this man in this gorgeous
suit comes up to me,
and he says, "Here's my card.
I wanna take your pictures,
'cause I think you're a star."
(CHUCKLES)
Oh, my God.
It was so exciting.
Your aunt found out
what happened,
and she told your grandmother,
and they threw away the card.
But your mom was smart.
I already memorized the number.
Yeah.
I think I still know it.
You wanna call?
You wanna call?
We should call, right?
Let's call! Right?
Why not?
We could be the dynamic duo.
We can be
the dynamic modeling duo.
Okay, wait, wait,
let me think, let me think.

I'll order something.
Okay.

He has some business

because she want everybody
to like you.
That is such a burden for--
the women have, you know?
WOMAN 2 ON TV:
Yeah.
WOMAN 3 ON TV: You were
desperate for attention.
Cause you felt
you weren't pretty.
WOMAN 2 ON TV: I remember once
when my mom was gone,
and I was home, um...
and the shame that
I felt was so great.
And I felt like I had been such
a disappointment to my parents,
and to, you know,
I felt like I had ruined
everybody's life involved.

you say something like that.

Mom, mom, mom.
No, that's so disrespectful.
That's disrespectful.

Not you, Fran.
Hey, I'm good.
Don't-- don't even.

Yeah, I've had
a lot of opportunities.
Don't forget it.
I got scouted by that--
Big photographer guy.
-How can we forget?
-All comedians.
You're all comedians.
Yeah, but you know,
you tell that story.
You always miss the
best part of it.
-CONNIE: You tell it, Dad.
-All right.
So this big photographer guy
who tells your mother
she's gonna be a superstar,
also tells all the other girls
in the neighborhood.
Now, he's collecting money
left and right.
This one goes upstairs and robs
money underneath the mattress
-of your grandmother.
-CONNIE: Ooh.
JOE:
All hell breaks loose.
Now, even I was scared of her.
Now, she's chasing her
up and down the street.
-With a slipper.
-JOE: A slipper.
A famous slipper.
Now, I got to calm her down.
I'm like, "Okay,
don't worry about it.
I'll try to find this guy.
I'll get the money back."
I finally find him.
He's in a studio, his apartment,
laying on the couch,
dressed in ladies' underwear.
So what?
JOE: Stan, I'm telling you,
this guy was a nut job.
STAN: Don't knock it
till you try it.
ALLIE:
Yeah, it sounds like Stan.

Shut up. That's right.
Hold on. Hold on. Be quiet.
What is that?
-What?
-JOE: Be quiet.
Joe, what?
-Joe?
-I hear something. Sit down.
-No--
-Sit down.
Oh, we're not going to fall
for that again.
-There's no Santa on--
-Be quiet.

this is God's house.

My dad needs to start

I didn't understand.

I know.
I feel like I could just swim

So beautiful.
Is that why you come here?
We should move there.
To the city.

-What?
-CONNIE: To the city.
-Fuck you.
Why not?
You used to love it
when we'd go Christmas
-and see the tree and--
-(CLEARS THROAT) Yeah.
Fight over who'd find
the tallest buildings
and try to count all the people,
but we couldn't count that high.
Dad would play airplane
in the car.
Mom would fuck it up

Every time.
They'd make us count the lights
in the tunnel to get us
to shut up 'cause we were
so fucking loud.
CONNIE: Something like
100 lights in that tunnel.
We'd get so dizzy.
CONNIE: You remember when I wore
those hats all the time?
And I thought that dad loved it
'cause it was like a little boy.
And mom fucking hated it.
And I would hide my hair in it
and she would fucking grab
the hats.
And you'd take little bangs
down too,
so it looked like
you had like boy hair.
I liked it.
I liked it too, always
putting me fucking down.
I wanted to have my hair back.
Kids do such weird shit.
Con?
CONNIE:
Yeah.
Is dad an honest man?
What?
An honest man.
Where did you get
that from Rose?
Did your friend ask you that?
What'd you say?
You stood up for him, right?
A man that gives you everything,
you stood up for him.
You said something, right?
You didn't just stand there
and let some scum say shit
about your own family?
Of course, if they're saying
shit about him then they're
saying shit about all of us.
You understand that, right?
So you did that.
Jesus, Rose, speak up.
You did that, right?
Hello?
Get out. Get out.
Get out, get out,
walk home, get out.
You think I'm fucking
joking, get out.
ROSE:
Connie, what? Stop.
-Get out.
-ROSE: Connie!
Connie, stop it!
You wanna know
who your fucking people are?
I am, Rose.
I'm your fucking people.
Dad's your fucking people,
your family
is your fucking people.
Step up and realize that
or you won't fucking have one.
Do you understand
what I'm saying?
Do you hear me?
I'm done with you.

I got up, it was me and Allie.
I got up, my fucking

BOBBY:
Fuck off.
ALLIE:
He is so out to lunch.
Come out of the car.
Girl, hang out,
I don't know why you're just
being weird sitting in the car.
Please.
CONNIE:
Bobby, leave her alone.
Please, I can't hang out
with these assholes anymore.
I'll do anything for you to get
out of the car right now.
CONNIE:
Bobby!
Bobby, get off of my car.
ANGELA: What's up, Bobby,
were you fucking--
CONNIE: Get off of my--
get off of my car.
Leave her alone,
she doesn't want to get out.
I think you'd have more fun
out here than inside the car.
MAN 5:

Me and Allie, he comes out

I swear to God, he grabs a bat.

Who fucking did this?

I'll take care of it, Aunt Fran,

Danielle Deleo--
CONNIE:
You fucking asshole.
FRANCINE: What, you're friends
with this kid?
That's your friend?!
That's your friend,
she was at this fucking house.
Our families are friends,
Connie.
Over what?
Over that fucking kid.
Over the kid?
FRANCINE:
Yes, the fucking kid.
Was it over that fucking kid?

something right now,

I'm trying

And you, you let her do this,
do you?
ALLIE:
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
FRANCINE:
I can't do this right now.
CHRISTINE: It's the mother's
worst nightmare,
to see her babies hurt.
You know, we do everything
to protect them, but...
They're so much alike.
Your mother and Connie.
Fighters.
With a fire
that just does not go out.
And it just gets bigger, bigger.
Takes up the whole world.
And there's no space
for anything else.
I know.
I dragged her out
of a lot of situations.
But it takes a toll.
You know?
You know, for years
she blamed herself.
And she miscarried your brother.
She thought God punished her.
What was she so angry about?
CHRISTINE:
Mmmm.
You know, just...
You get to...
a certain point in your life,
and you gotta accept
that things aren't really
gonna work out...
the way you dreamt they were.
(SNIFFLES)
You've accepted it?

Uncle Nick.
Uncle Nick.
Uncle Nick killed himself.
Which was very selfish.

what choice did I have?

No.
No.

of an entire room of people
and declares his love for you.
Believe me.
You're just standing there.
I mean,
you're embarrassing everyone.
You-- you're gonna say no?

You've been with a guy
for years.
But hey, it's not my decision.
But--
Listen, you can stay here
for the rest of your life.
Believe me,
I'd like nothing more.

then maybe I go

that there's one.
It's called Wilfred

I mean I could even pay for it
myself with that money

I was in the front,
learning the counter.
And Lily ran to the back,
and she went down
into Allie's office,
and I found her in this, like,
compartment or something.
I don't know, in the sofa,
and she was standing in it.
She was standing in--
In guns and drugs.
What?
What are you talking about?
What the fuck are you talking
about, Rose?
Is she okay?
-ROSE: Yes!
-Is she okay?
ROSE: Yes. You know
I would never let anything
happen to her.
(PANTS)
That fucking derelict
a piece of shit,
I will fucking kill him.
He brings the shit
into our bakery.
-Are you kidding me?
-No, bakery, Connie.
Connie, Dad gave
Allie that office.
-(SNIFFLES) And?
-And what?
(SNIFFLES)
CONNIE:
And what, Rose?
Don't tell anyone anything
about this, okay?
I'll handle it.
I got it under control.
Okay, well, I'm gonna go.
I've got a thing tomorrow,
and you don't have to take me.
No, I said that
I would take you.
I'm gonna take you.
That was...
Can you believe we both used
to fit in my old bed?
You'd lift the cover so slowly,
thinking that I was asleep?
(SCOFFS)
I knew.
I loved seeing
how long it would take,
before you stopped holding
your breath.
You were so afraid
that if I woke up,
I was gonna kick you out.
I could tell.
I always knew you
were there, Rose.
And I would never
have thrown you out.

They make people nervous,

Chris, come back tomorrow,

Chris.
Take care of your mother.
(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)
She knows this is not true.
She knows.
She's the strongest person
I've ever known.
It's how I met your father.
He was...
so handsome and funny.
He worked so hard.
He worked so hard,
to take care of his family,
took care of our family.
Our families came
here with nothing.
You're led to believe
that things are fair here.
They're not.
He's not the man
they're making him out to be.
He doesn't do things
right all the time,
but he does them
for the right reasons.
He did what he had to do
to survive.
We all did.
I have to pee.
Rose!
Do not move.
You know, Mom said
something to me
that I chose to forget
a while ago.
She said
that she saw you standing
in the middle of the road
looking down the block
one night.
Looking at those assholes
in their car.
(ROSE PANTING)
Come on.
You'd never do
anything stupid, right?
Are you fucking serious
right now?
Oh yeah, Connie.
Yeah, it's my fault.
-What are you--
-No! No, it's Allie's fault.
Oh, it's everyone's
fucking fault.
Except who's fault it
actually is.
Hit me. Fucking hit me!
Do it! Please!
It won't fucking
change anything!
It is our father's fault,
Connie.
All of it.
Like when we were kids
and they would say, "He is this.
He did this."
Look what he's done
to this fucking family!
To you! Fuck!
You want your daughter to--
Don't you fucking dare!
My daughter will grow up
and not be a judgmental little
bitch like you.
She'll be a fucking coward.
Look at yourself.
What the fuck
is wrong with you?
Who do you think you are?
This is your family!
I know exactly who Dad is.
I always have.
He's my father.
Guess what?
He's your father too.
He paid for the bakery.
Put our names on it,
sweet sister.
So that means you are involved.
You're involved
whether you like it or not.
Do you understand me?
Do you understand me?
You will come with me
and help me get that shit
you found out of there tonight.
You should feel
so fucking lucky right now.
You should feel so lucky, Rose.

You are part of this family,

Now you will go get dressed.

Because why me?

And to show you.
I didn't know how.
I'm sorry.
I'll tell you something
I did know.
You didn't talk.
Not because you were shy.
