come over your
house tonight.
Everything will work out ok.
The situation was
becoming impossible.
Sit down, Thomas.
I appreciate
what you're doing.
Things that were
happening at our house-
Virginia was making
milk for the baby,
and my mother comes in-
I promised
the babysitter 6:00.
Before you go,
I need a little advice.
Sure, what
you're the accountant
in the family.
My boss wants
to sell his shop to me.
Yeah?
His kids are married, and
him and his wife live alone.
They want to move
to california.
So he wants
to sell me his shop.
He wants $5,000 down,
although I think I can
knock him down to 4.
Marty, I got to run.
I'll meet you
at mass tomorrow,
and afterwards we'll
sit down and discuss it.
It sounds like
a good proposition
he wants an answer
by monday.
Sure.
We'll work out an
arrangement about my mother.
I want to pay
you for her.
We'll talk later.
Thanks again.
Goodbye, Virginia.
Goodbye, aunt Theresa.
Goodbye, Tommy.
Goodbye, Virginia.
Hello.
Is this Mary Feeney?
Well, could I speak
to miss Mary Feeney?
Just tell her
an old friend.
Oh, hello there.
Is this Mary Feeney?
This is Marty Piletti.
I wonder if you recall me.
I'm kind of a stocky guy.
The last time we met
was in the RKO Chester.
You was with a friend.
I was with a friend of mine
named Angie.
This was about a month ago.
The RKO Chester
on West Farms Square.
You was sitting
in front of us.
We was annoying you,
and you got mad, and...
I'm the fella who works
in the butcher shop.
Oh, come on.
You know who I am.
That's right.
We went to Howard Johnson
and had hamburgers.
You had a milk shake.
Yeah, that's right.
I'm the stocky one,
the heavyset fella.
Yeah.
Well, I'm glad you recall me
because I had a nice time
that night,
and I was wondering
how everything was with you.
How's everything?
That's swell.
Yeah, well, I'll tell you
why I called.
I was figuring on taking in
a movie tonight,
and I was wondering
if you and your friend
would see a movie tonight
with me and my friend.
Yeah, tonight.
I know it's a little late
to call for a date,
but I didn't know myself
till...
yeah, I know.
Yeah, what about-
well, how about
next saturday night?
Are you free
next saturday night?
Well, what about
the saturday after that?
Yeah.
Yeah, I know.
Oh, I mean,
I understand that...
yeah.
Yeah.
So, what are you
gonna do tonight, Marty?
I don't know, ma.
I'm all knocked out.
I may just han
g around the house.
Why don't you go
to the stardust ballroom?
What?
Go to the stardust ballroom.
It's loaded with tomatoes.
It's loaded with what?
Tomatoes?
Who told you about
the stardust ballroom?
Tommy. He say
it's very nice place.
Oh, Thomas
ma, it's just
a big dance hall.
I've been there a 100 times.
Loaded with tomatoes.
You're funny, ma.
I don't want you hanging
around the house tonight.
Shave and go dance.
Ma, when will you
give up?
I ain't never
getting married.
You're gonna get married.
Sooner or later, a man's
got to face some facts.
Whatever it is
that women like,
I ain't got it
I went to enough dances.
I got hurt enough.
I just called up a girl
this afternoon.
I got a real brush-off
I thought I was past
being hurt, but that hurt.
Some stupid woman who i
didn't even want to call up,
she gave me the brush.
I don't want to go to
the stardust ballroom.
Girls there made me
feel like I was a bug.
I got feelings.
I had enough pain.
No thanks, ma.
Marty-
I'm gonna stay home tonight
watch the hit parade.
You'll die without a son.
So be it.
Put on the blue suit.
Blue suit. Gray suit.
I'm just a fat, ugly man.
You not ugly.
I'm ugly, I'm ugly,
I'm ugly!
Leave me alone
ma, what do you
want from me?
I'm miserable enough
as it is.
So I'll go to
the stardust ballroom.
I'll put on
a blue suit and go
you know what I'll
get for my trouble?
A big night of heartache.
Loaded with tomatoes.
Boy, that's rich.
Not a bad
