08x08 - Death and Love: Part 2

[bunniefuu]

I have to tell them.

After all they've been through,
I'd wait.

[♪♪♪]

-Oh.
-[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Thanks.

[GASPS] Oh, Tony.

-It's beautiful.
-[CHUCKLES]

-It's lovely.
-[CHUCKLES]

It's Mother's.

Oh, yeah, um,

Mona really, uh,
really helped me through this.

-[LAUGH]
-Oh, really?

Oh, yeah.
For-- yeah for--

If it wasn't for Mona,
Sam, and Jonathan,

I-- I just think,
I-- I woulda never proposed.

[LAUGH]

Oh. So...

So they talked you into it.
[CLEARS THROAT]

Oh, no! No, no, no. But...

what they did is they made me
realize that I was trying

to live my life
to the fullest by--

by taking all these crazy risks.

When I was really just afraid

of taking the biggest risk
of all, marrying you.

No, no, no.

Not-- not that you're a risk.

You know, but-- but
marriage is a risk, you know?

But not with you, I mean,
'cause, you know--

because it's like, uh--
Look, it's snowing.

It's-- [CLEARS THROAT]

It's okay, Tony, I understand.

Oh, good, good, good.

You're, uh,
obviously not ready for this.

Oh, yes. What do you--
Yes, I am.

-Yes, I am.
-Tony, you're doing it
for the wrong reason,

you're doing it
because somebody told you to,

because it's some answer
to your mid-life crisis.

Hey, oh.

Oh, hey.

I love you.

And I love you.

And I've waited so long
for you to ask me this...

and that's why...

it's so hard for me to say...

no.

-Uh, Dad?
-What?

Uh, we left Jonathan
at the gas station.

Oh my God.

Well, why didn't you
say something?

-We thought it was funny.

[GROANS]

-[DOOR BANGS OPEN]
-What are you guys doing here?

We live here, Ernie.

But I-- I thought I was gonna
be house-sitting 'till tomorrow.

-What happened?
-There was a change of plans.

Let's just--
Wait a minute.

That's my robe.

Thank God we got home

before he started trying on
my clothes.

And what's this?
What's this, a pipe?

What are you?
What are you, Hugh Hefner?

More brie, baby?

You are Hugh Hefner.

Well, it's about time
somebody scored in this house.

Tony, it's not what you think.

Ernie, what are all these people
doing in your house?

Okay, it is what you think.

Baby, I think, maybe
you better wait in the car.

Oh, in the Jaguar?

The-- the Jaguar?
I don't believe this.

No, my other car...

the-- the Yugo.

I'll show you the way out.

You know, when Mom kicks,
this is all mine.

All right, you,

you got three seconds
to get out of that robe.

I'm not wearing any pants.

For God's sake,
leave the robe on.

Get upstairs and change.

Hey, and if you're wearing
my underwear, keep it.

Thanks!

Do you believe
the nerve of this guy?

Uh-huh.

Well, I think I'll turn in.

Oh, come on. Oh, come on,
Angela, don't go to--

[CLICKS TONGUE]
don't go to bed mad.

This silent treatment
stuff's no good.
We gotta talk.

Okay, I'll go unpack.

That'll give you time to
ask Mother what you should say.

[TONY GROANS]

But-- Mona has nothing
to do with this.

This is all your fault.

Me?

When I told you
to propose to her,

I did not tell you to tell her,

that I told you
to propose to her.

[ANGELA SCREAMS]

Sorry!

I'll just straighten up
the kitchen,

and I'm gonna be out of here.

[DOOR OPENS]

Angela's mad at me,
Ernie's with Miss September.

It's a world gone mad.

Tony, just--
let me give you some advice.

-See, where you went wrong--
-I don't want to hear

another word about this weekend,
from anyone.

Get it?

Mom turned him down cold.

No!

Yeah, tossed the ring
right in his face.

Thank you, Jonathan.
Thank you very much.

Hey, it's not like
he's a stranger.

-He's wearing your underwear.
-Get out of here!

Tone, I'm here for you, babe.

-Ernie.
-Yeah?

-Don't call me babe.
-[SIGHS]

You must be devastated.

To lay yourself out like that,

to be so open,
so-- so vulnerable,

only to have
your manhood crushed,

and then, to have to face
the woman who did it

every single day
without a place to hide.

I'd want to die.

Go with that thought, Ernie.

Listen to me, Tone.

As tough as it might be,

right now, you have to
be sensitive to your woman.

[HORN HONKING]

Hey, I'm talking in here!

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[SIGHS] I have so much
to learn from you, Ern.

Excuse me.

-Oh, uh, I'm just gonna...
-Oh.

-Sorry.
-Yeah, sure. Yeah.

Tony, I, uh...

I think you're right.

I think we do need
to talk about this.

Oh, that's great.
I'm so glad you said that.

Here you go, have a seat, huh?

Let the flood gates open.

-[CHUCKLES]
-Okay.

-Here goes.
-Yeah, yeah. [CHUCKLES]

-Tony.
-Yeah?

-I think we should agree...
-Oh, yeah.

-...not to talk about this.
-Oh, why-- [WHIMPERING]

I-- I know, it isn't easy
for you to let things go,

but I'm the kind of person that
needs time to sort things out,

and let the emotions settle
without pushing things.

Fine.

Fine, does--

does that mean that
we're not going out anymore?

For a while, I think,
that might be a good idea.

Fine. Fine. When--
when do you think

-we'll talk about this again?
-[SIGHS]

-When it feels right.
-Oh, yeah. Sure, fine, fine.

When do you think that might be?

To-- Tony, you're--
you're pushing things.

Oh, well, then I gotta stop.
No-- no pushing,

No-- no pushing, no pushing.
I-- I cannot push
with the best of them.

-Tony, please let it go.
-Oh, I'm lettin' it go, Angela.

-I'm lettin' it go! It's gone.
-What--

I'm letting it go.

Even as we speak
I'm lettin' it--

I'm opening the door,
and I'm gonna let it go! [LAUGH]

She stole my Yugo.

I'm, uh, going to turn in, okay?

Oh, yeah, sure, and hey, listen,

I'm really glad that we talked
about not talking. [CHUCKLES]

-Okay.
-Okay.

I never thought you'd let it go
without a fight.

I'm not.

I'm not lettin' her go.

I love her.

-Yeah, but I just heard--
-Ernie...

let me tell you something,
he who fights and runs away,

lives to fight another day.

That's heavy.

What's it mean?

Means, I'm gonna get her
to marry me,

if it's the last thing I'd do.

That's my Tony!

[CHUCKLES] Ernie...

don't hug me, babe.

Tony?

Tony?

Gosh, he's not here again.

Uh, there's a message.

Probably Tony again.

TONY: Hi, Angela.
If you get home before I do,

dinner's in the fridge. Bye.

Oh, and if I've left before
you get up in the morning,

breakfast will be on the table.
Bye.

Oh, and Mona,
if you eat it, I'll k*ll you.

This one's for real. Bye.

-[CLICK]
-Bye.

Well, nice to see
you two talking again.

Well, I've hardly seen him
the whole week.

Well, you wanted space,
he's giving you space.

I didn't mean he should join
the witness relocation program.

Oh, h*, h*.
Are we having second thoughts?

No.

We are not.

Look, I waited a long time
for Tony's proposal.

Then to find out
that somebody...

talked him into it, really hurt.

It made me stop and think.

That's your trouble, Angela,
you think too much.

You think?

♪ I've done a-- ♪

Oh, hi. Hey, don't mind me.

Just passing through,
then I'm gone.

You just got here.

Yeah, well, I got tickets
to the Giants game tonight,
and I'm taking Samantha.

Oh, well good.

Well, the best part is
it gives you a chance

to have the house to yourself.

Okay, bye, bye.

Yo, Mona, what's happening?

[CHUCKLES]

Well, wasn't that thoughtful
of him?

Well, yes. Yes,
he's being very considerate.

Don't tell me, dear, tell him.

I mean, a man needs a word
of encouragement now and then.

They have so little to live for.

Well? Well?

She snapped up the bait
like a hungry carp.

[CHUCKLES] Bingo, huh!

First phase, the hook is in.

Second phase,
I reel in my prize catch.

So, how are you going to ask her
to go out?

I'm not.

She's gonna ask me out.

-MONA: Wh--
-SAM: Dad?

Why, it's Samantha.
I wonder what she could want?

[BOTH GIGGLE]

Okay, let's get going.
Let's hit the road.

-See you later, Angela.
-I can't.

Wha-- what do you mean
you can't?

Well, I just remembered

that I have a lit paper
due tomorrow.

Oh, you kidding?
Well, can't you do it later?

-[CLICKS TONGUE] Sorry, Dad.
-Oh.

Sam. Well, that's okay.

You know, Sam,
you should've done it last week

when the good students
did theirs.

But that's okay. That's okay.
I'll just have to, uh...

find somebody else to go with.
[KISSES]

Oh, uh, what about Jonathan?

Oh, that's a great idea.
I'd love to take Jonathan.

Jonathan? Buddy?

Here he is now.

Jonathan, how would you like
to go with me--

I wish I could, Tony,
but I'm going to a movie.

A movie I wanted to see
ever since I was a young boy,

and now it's playing
at a theater near me.

Oh, happy day.

He's been acting
a little strange

since we left him
at the gas station, you know...

fumes.

Well, hey, I guess I'm just
going to have to, uh...

go alone, you know.
But, hey, no big deal

because I'll just buddy up
with the guy next to me.

You know me. [CHUCKLES]

Make-a-friend-wherever-I-go
Tony. [CHUCKLES]

-Don't let him go alone.
-I think, it's a--

No, don't think.

-[TONY HUMMING]
-Oh, uh-- To-- Tony?

Yes?

How-- how about if I went
with you?

You?

Well, yeah. It might be fun.

You know, we'll-- we'd just go
as two football fans.

-It is football, isn't it?
-Yeah, yeah.

Hey, that'd be great. Yeah.
Just fans. [CHUCKLES]

-Okay, well, great.
-Yeah.

-Then I'll go change.
-Okay.

The Giants, uh,
white and blue, right?

Well, this year,
they're a little bit

-more black and blue. [CHUCKLES]
-Oh. [CHUCKLES]

[LAUGHING]

Okay. All right.

[TONY LAUGHING]

Come to papa.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

COMMENTATOR: The ball's pitched
to the tailback.

He cuts back inside.

-And it's nailed...
-[CHEERING]

...behind the line
by Lawrence Taylor.

Yes! Oh, yeah!
Take his head off, L.T.!

-My main man! All right!
-Yeah!

-Go! Go!
-[CROWD CHANTING]

Was that a great hit or what?

Oh, yeah, yeah.
[IMITATES CHANT]

[WHISTLE BLOWS]

-Time out. Want a brewski?
-Oh, no, no, no, wait, wait.

-You-- you can't leave yet.
-Why not?

Uh, because, uh...

Oh, look, look, look,
there's the blimp.

Oh, yeah, there it is. See ya.

Oh, no, no. Wait a--
wait a minute.

-[SIGHS]
-Wait a minute, what--
what does this say?

ANGELA: Uh...

"Ma...

Mar...

Ma..."

I-- I can't--
Tony, I can't read it

without my glasses,
and I left them home.

Oh. Uh, hey-ya, nearsighted
or farsighted?

Astigmatism.

Oh, close enough.
Can I borrow, please?

Here, put these on.

I think these are
the wrong shape for my face.

Would you put them on, please?

-Look.
-Oh.

Some idiot is proposing
to his girlfriend.

[RETCHES] I just hate that.

You're the idiot?

See, that's--
that's not quite the response

-I was hoping for.
-[BREATHES HEAVILY]

Tony, that's just...

God, it's incredible.
I can't believe you did this.

[CHUCKLES] Yeah.

Well, it's just that you set up
the entire evening.

You-- you rigged
the whole thing.

Oh, pretty amazing, huh?
[CHUCKLES]

It's incredible.

It's so public,
so overt, so pushy.

I got the smallest blimp
they had, Angela.

I-- I thought we agreed
to give each other

some breathing room.

I did, I did. I waited a week.

You can do a lot of breathing
in a week, can't ya, Angela?

You're-- you're the Angela?

Yes, I'm with--

-Hey everybody...
-WOMAN IN CROWD: Oh, my God!

...it's the blimp lady!

[CHEERING]

Listen, Angela,
I didn't mean to push.

I didn't mean to push.
It's just that I--

I love you, and I--
I couldn't wait any longer.

I love you too, but I feel
like I'm being pressured.

-Well, who's pressuring you?
-CROWD: Marry him! Marry him!

[CROWD CHANTING]

Look, Angela,
pretend they're not here, okay?

Wha-- what do you say?

I-- I want to say yes, Tony.

Oh, Angela, don't do this to me.

I wanna say yes
with all my heart.

You're doing it to me, Angela.

It's just that I feel

that when you're doing this,
it feels like it's for--

What? What? The wrong reason?

-Yes.
-No, it's not. Not this time.

Nobody told me to do it.
It was my own idea.

I did it for us.

But, Tony,
is this really about us?

Beats the hell out of me.

It's just that when you do
something this big, this soon,

it feels like you're trying
to prove something.

Now, wait a minute.
Is this a new wrong reason?

-Well...
-Oh, Angela, please.

If you have any--

any charity in your soul at all,
please say yes now.

You could say no later.

Tony, if you can look me
in the eye--

-Yeah.
-and tell me

that you're doing this
not because I hurt your pride,

or because this has
become a challenge,

then my answer is yes.

[DOOR UNLOCKS]

So?

So, wh-- what happened?

Giants won.

Did you ask her to marry you?

Uh-huh.

So, what happened?

I turned myself down.

Hey, Mona. How's Dad doing?

Not so good.

Angela has got him crazy.

Oh, no. I better go talk to him.

Oh, be prepared, Sam.

The conversation
may be a little one-sided.

SAM: Mm-hmm.

Dad?

[TONY MUMBLING]

Dad?

[TONY MUMBLING]

Dad, what are you doing?

I'm just sitting here by
the fire, trying to keep warm.

Dad, there's no fire.

It's okay.

I don't deserve one.

Okay, that's it. Come on.

We have to pull
ourselves together. Come on.

-Come on!
-Sam.

You gotta
start functioning again.

Sam, I tried, Sam, I tried that
but, um, I couldn't decide

I couldn't decide
what chore to do.

I mean, do I--
do I dust, or do I vacuum?

And then-- and then--
and then if so, which one first?

I think you can see my dilemma.

Dad, I didn't expect you
to be like this

for at least another 30 years.

How could Angela do this to you?

No, no, no.
Angela didn't do anything.
Angela was right.

I was wrong.

I mean I should have waited
two weeks not one week.

Definitely not a week, and I
shouldn't have had a blimp.

Not a blimp.
Oh, definitely not a blimp.

Uh-oh.

Time for Wapner.

No TV! Come on,
I want you to march upstairs.

Have a shave,
shower, and get dressed.

Oh, which-- which one
should I do first?

-Shower.
-[TONY GRUNTS]

Don't forget to take off
your robe first.

[TONY MUMBLING]

-Hi, guys.
-[SCOFFS]

What have you done to my father?

What?

Oh, you know, my father,

Captain Lobotomy.

[CHUCKLES] Honey, I'm sure
it's not that bad.

He seemed a little distracted
this morning,

but he told me he was fine,
definitely fine.

Samantha, so, what was--

what was I supposed to be
doing up here?

Uh, shaving, Dad.

Oh, thank God. I thought
I was foaming from the mouth.

Oh my!

I told you. The guy's produce.

And I'm holding you
personally responsible.

Look, look,
I never meant to hurt Tony.

It's just that I wanted
the proposal to come

from his heart,
not from some bruised ego.

Oh, please.
If it's not one excuse,
it's another one.

-Angela, what is your problem?
-Nothing.

It's just that getting married
is a big step.

And I want to start out
on the right foot,
for the right reasons.

Because I already failed
at it once, okay?

-Oh.
-Oh.

So...

you want a guarantee, huh?

And it all starts
with the perfect proposal.

Believe me, dear...

-[SIGHS]
-...it doesn't exist.

I know, because by now
I would've heard it.

Face it.

The problem here
may not be Tony.

I think you're too scared
to take a second chance.

-[CRASHING]
-TONY: Oh! Uh-oh.

And with good reason.

[♪♪♪]

To-- Tony, may I have
a word with you?

Oh, I-- I did something wrong?

No. I did.

No, you?

No, no, not you, you're perfect.

-I'm slime.
-No, Tony.

-Tony, you're not slime.
-Oh, t-- too high

Oh, t-- too high
on a food chain, huh?

Uh, how about the fungus?

Tony.

Stop it. You're--
you're making me feel bad.

Oh, you see? I am bad. Bad Tony.

-Bad Tony!
-No, no, no!

-Bad--
-Tony, you're not bad.

You're not bad. You're not bad.
You're good. You're wonderful.

Who cares what the reasons were
for you wanting to marry me?

I know you love me,
and that should be enough.

Is-- isn't-- isn't that,
kind of, what I said?

Yes...

and you were right.

I-- I was right?

-Is this a trick?
-No.

No. I blew it.

It-- it wasn't my fault?

No, Tony, I'm trying to tell you
the problem was me.

See, when-- when the first
proposal didn't go well
I-- I panicked,

and I let my fears
about getting married again

get the better of me,

and so, I-- I began
to question all your motives,

and analyzed every move,
every syllable--

-Angela-- Angela, you know--
-Yeah.

You think too much.

I know.

-I'm trying to quit.
-Huh.

And...

this time...

I'm listening to my heart.

And it's telling me that I wanna
spend the rest of my life
with you.

Angela, you--
are--

are you proposing to me?

Well, yes. I...

I guess I am.

So...

what do you say?

-Oh, gee, I don't know.
-[GASPS]

I mean, uh, you know,

a guy likes to be asked in
kind of a special way,

-you know.
-[SIGHS]

-I mean, we men, you know...
-[GRUNTS]

...we-- we-- we dream about this
our-- our whole lives.

-Tony--
-No, no,

you don't understand, Angela,
it's like, you know, when--

when we men get together, like,
in the weight room, you know...

-[HUFFS]
-...and--

and we fantasize
about the proposal,

about the wedding,

about the... [GIGGLES]
...honeymoon.

No. It's unbelievable, and you--
you've just cheapened that.

What do you want, a blimp?

No,
I just wanna be asked nicely,

like-- like Bubba,

and the rest of the guys,
and I, always dream of.

[EXHALES]

-Tony--
-At a moment like this...

I'd prefer Anthony.

Fine.

-Anthony.
-Hmm.

I love you with all my heart...

and I want to spend
the rest of my life with you.

Will you marry me?

Gee, I don't know.
This is all so sudden.

I just-- I just don't want
to be pressured, you know.

[CRIES IN PAIN]

All right! All right!
I'll marry ya!

Are you sure?

You bet your life.

[♪♪♪]

TONY: Who's the boss
will back in a moment.
Stick around.

Yes, Mrs. Rossini,
we are engaged. [GIGGLES]

Yeah. Ye-- don't-- don't cry.

Come on, don't-- don't cry.

-She's crying.
-[DOORBELL RINGS]

Uh, Mrs. Rossini.
Here, you talk to her.

-My ear's wet.
-[CHUCKLES] All right.

Hello, Mrs. Rossini.

No, no. We haven't picked
a date yet.

[LAUGHS]

-Bubba!
-Tony, I just heard.

-I thought I would die.
-[GIGGLES]

Was it everything
we had dreamed of?

-And more.
-All right!

[TONY GIGGLING]
