crazy stephen ever since my father d*ed

she's been impossible no no no no let me

tell you what impossible is all right

i'm going to work this morning my

father's on the front lawn watering the

azaleas in his jockey shorts

without a hose

nobody can get along with her nobody i

mean i love her but she's she's a real

pain in me you know what well your

mother's starting to sound like my

father with bigger breasts

oh wow that is a visual i wish i hadn't

thought of

anyway

i was just thinking what are you doing

tomorrow night no i don't know

probably disappointing my mother

well let's uh we'll go out to dinner

oh yeah

you me

my father your mother i'm not setting my

mother up with your father

the unholy spawn of their evil coupling

could be the end of the world as we know

it

that's not a setup it's a harmless

dinner and it really could help man a

lot i mean the only woman he's even

spoken to since they split up was that

poor cross-eyed margaret you know who

lives in the bank parking lot and that

was only to ask her not to urinate on

his tires

please

well only if you drive my mother home

afterwards i'm supposed to see frank

tomorrow night oh the married guy

he's not married he's separated yeah

he's about as separated as chang and eng

okay

we'll go but quite frankly i have a

feeling i'm being a little taken

advantage of you oh come on you owe me i

never told anyone about you dating that

waitress who turned out to be a man

named raoul

all right shut up it's a deal but we're

splitting the check

and i say that in a

pro-feminist cheapskate kind of way

right okay well uh but this is not a

setup no no no it's not a set of it's

it's nothing it's nothing but just a

harmless dinner that's right no pressure

at all right no pressure well except the

pressure on us i mean it's very hard to

digest your food when you're sitting

next to a guy who opens his pants after

every course

well

that depends on the man

it's too soon for me to date

it's not a date it's a dinner

your mother just walked out of me you

know

i know but you always have to say that i

mean becoming like an overused

expression like have a nice day or don't

worry i'll leave my underwear on

well i'm not ready to date yet it's not

a date it's a meal okay really if

anything else happened tonight it's your

own fault i mean christine's not my date

well you could do worse remember that

waitress with the mustache

i gotta go i'll see you at the

restaurant at seven

hey uh aren't you gonna pick me up

the restaurant's in manhattan and

and they work in manhattan

so

so we live in new jersey

and so and so i'm not picking you up you

think i'm nuts i'm gonna drive all the

way in from manhattan and pick you up

just to drive you to a restaurant five

blocks from where i work

hey i'm not driving into new york those

people are crazy they'll k*ll you for a

nickel

you'll do fine you're an excellent try

but really just remember to do

everything you always do drive 20 miles

an hour under the speed limit in the

fast lane with the blinker on

yeah

well i never got a ticket have i

look at these prices

stop looking at them i'm paying for us

12 for a hamburger

for 12 the waitress should take in the

back room and make you think of guam

maybe she will ask her when you order

what you want to ask him down

well a free basket of bread will do that

to you

good thing it's progress you're getting

over mom's leaving it's a small step so

interested in christine's mother so you

can call her if you want i don't want to

be near her anybody that could be

attractive to you must have a lot of

problems right pete

oh i'm sorry i was distracted

turkey but

your hands

[Music]

good morning boy you look tired big

night last night uh yeah yeah is

christine in her office uh not yet

great

you slept with my mother

she told you that no your father called

me at two in the morning and how he got

frank's number i'll never know

no wait a minute i can explain really

uh your messages i thought you said she

wasn't in yet

her office you didn't ask me about your

office huh you slept with my mother can

i sit in on this no

how could you

i didn't but it was very close she got

me in a headlock and there was some

tumbling involved

mom

want me to shop in some pencils no

mother

steven i just wanted to come by and

thank you for being so wonderful last

night

no wait christine you don't understand

that's right you see last night steven

showed me something that no other man

has ever shown me before

you sick bastard

christine will you relax it's nothing

that you couldn't have done yourself

what are you talking about well after

steven drove me home last night i threw

myself at him made a fool out of myself

actually no no no no it's not like you

know women don't throw themselves at me

all the time

they don't shut up

we got to talking and

steven made me realize that lately i've

been going after men indiscriminately i

don't understand why didn't you just let

al drive you home you two were wonderful

together in a hideous bigoted way

i know that's what i was afraid of

i felt safer with stephen

i knew there was no future in it you see

christine it's an obvious pattern your

mother is just going out with

inappropriate men so then she doesn't

have to deal with a real relationship

you're still not over dead are you

you just don't get over a man like your

father christine i i can't believe how

i've lowered my standards trying to fill

that void

throwing myself at anyone anyone hobos

jockeys stephen

she means that really great-looking hobo

in 23rd you know the buff one yeah

mom why don't we uh go next door to my

office and talk

i'm sorry

bye steven

i'm sorry about that hickey

wow i'm lucky i was facing this way

[Music]

hi honey i'm home

i thought about it and

i was wrong

i should have trusted you

i moved in

why should you suddenly strike gold now

come on dad huh with all due respect i

think i struck some silver huh

but seriously pop come on the important

thing is now you're starting to get over

mom

thought i'd get out my little black book

and

stir up a little action any luck

yeah it's a little outdated

eleven of the women i called were were

dead

three were in a home and one couldn't

hear over the noise from hawaiian lung

promising

she's already lying down
