old friend of Richard's.
I wanna tell you, he got some dish!
Hello. I am so pleased to meet you.
I'm Edwina Coolie.
I'm not with this party. I'm having dinner
in the main part of the dining room...
but I heard there were some
celebrities back here. Just wanted a peek.
Paula, congratulations. I'm Ron Barbero.
I handle all the Babsons' insurance.
Now that you're married,
if you need anything, give me a call.
Paula! Don't move!
You know how crazy it is?
You're getting married now...
and the rest of us
are getting rid of our first wives.
You and Barbara are splitting up?
What can I tell you?
Nice talking to you.
There. That will be a good one. Thanks.
You're a darling. That's real sweet.
- Hi, Mother.
- Isn't this a wonderful party?
I think so.
How long have you known each other?
- A month?
- Six weeks.
- How about you?
- Five years.
Living together for three.
- No wonder you're not in a hotel room.
- Oh, you're bad.
Are you planning to have children?
- I don't know.
- Really?
You should think about it.
You're not getting any younger.
Excuse me.
Richard, what is it? What's wrong, dear?
Paula. Where you going?
I'm going to the ladies' room,
and I'm going to stay there.
- You all right?
- I'm fine.
Pick me up when you're ready to leave.
Take your time. Enjoy yourself.
It's a lovely party, sweetheart.
Everyone's having a wonderful time.
I am going to the ladies' room.
Are you crazy?
You can't spend the night in a bathroom.
- They're giving this party for us. Come on.
- Let go of my arm.
Oh, my God! I'm sorry.
What's going on?
I am sorry.
We're just having a domestic squabble.
- I want you to take one of these.
- No.
It's just a Valium. It'll just relax you.
- I don't take drugs.
- It's not a drug. It's a muscle relaxant.
Now come on, take it.
It will help you calm your nerves.
Come on.
I want you to keep this with you
until we get back to California.
Any time you feel tense,
you take one of those.
When we get back there,
we'll sort it all out.
I don't want another scene
like we had tonight. Not here.
I'm sorry.
I guess you think I'm pretty cute.
I guess you're pretty crazy about me,
aren't you?
I'm in a bad mood.
I'd like to stay that way for a while.
So don't try to make me laugh, okay?
Break an egg.
- Not now.
- Please break an egg on my head. Please.
Honey, I'm sorry.
I love you.
I'm sorry, honey.
I'm always sorry.
- You like it?
- I like it.
Thanks, Pop.
Paula?
I'm going with Pop out to the club,
probably spend most of the day there.
- Is that okay?
- Sure.
I feel much better today.
Really, I do. I really feel fine.
Good.
If I get back early,
we can work on the rewrite.
No. I'm spending the whole day
with your mother and Nellie.
We're gonna go shopping,
buy a wedding present for us.
Then we're going to get our hair done.
Then we'll go have lunch somewhere.
- Isn't that good?
- Great.
I took a Valium.
Come on.
Nellie, it's time to leave.
- Hurry up, for God's sake.
- I just got in!
We'll be late for the beauty parlor.
We can't keep Ramon waiting.
Paula, dear, you ready?
- Nellie!
- What?
- Ready.
- I am ready. Paula?
Ready.
What are those?
The ones with rings around the necks
are Canadian geese.
The other ones are mallards.
I thought ducks went south for the winter.
Not all of them.
Some get too old to make the trip.
I like to help out a little.
- Mom thinks we're playing golf.
- Yeah.
So you got married.
I guess you're too old
for a father-and-son talk.
Try me.
- Are you kind?
- Yes, sir.
- Patient and understanding?
- Try to be.
- Got a sense of humor?
- Thank God.
- Know all about sex?
- More than you.
Don't be so sure.
- What do you think? Did I pass?
- Nope.
None of those things got a damn thing
to do with making a marriage.
Good. Because I was lying.
The only important thing is,
do you love her?
I've been tuning your mother out
for 42 years...
but I still love her.
I
