Flashback to when Ray proposed to Debra.
How did you ever
get ready for our wedding?
- Mommy.
- Oh, that's right.
- I had blocked out the fact
that you were 30
And still living at home.
- 29.
- Yeah, whatever.
- By the way,
I'm not dancing
at this thing, okay?
So don't even ask.
- Come on!
I want to dance with you!
- No, no.
When I dance, people think
I'm looking for my keys.
- Yes, but if you
dance with me,
Then you can look
for my keys.
- Hmm.
No, no, no.
No, no, sorry, no.
- You are so unromantic.
- What?
You know I don't like dancing.
- You know
I do like dancing.
- Then why did
you marry me?
Well?
- I'm thinking.
- Okay, okay...
Yup, yup, yup, yup.

Carrots instead

- It's muscle,
it's muscle.
- Hi, fatty.
Hi, little hiney.
Yeah.
Here, that's for you.
- Well, no, wait.
I told you to get one
of your romantic, mushy movies
You always like to see.
- Yeah, but you love this one.
We'll see mine next week.
- It's planet of the apes.
- Yeah, but didn't you say
that was a classic?
Monkeys riding horses.
- Yeah, I mean,
it's a classic but...
I don't know, you gotta be like
in the mood for it.
Why don't we just...
You know what?
Why don't we just--
we'll sit, and we--
I'll sit over here.
And, uh, we'll just--
you know what we'll do?
We'll eat some carrot sticks,
and, uh...
We'll talk.
- Ray, I told you,
I'm not having sex
on your mom's plastic couch.
- But I...
I don't want...
No...
I don't want sex,
all right?
I just--
I want a carrot, that's all.
- Okay, we'll go to your room.
Come on.
- What? No, wait!
No, no, no!
- What do you mean, "no"?
- No, I mean, no for now.
Yes in a few minutes.
- What do you want?
- All right,
just sit down.
Sit down.
Um, something happened--
I want to show you
something.
This is the early edition
of tomorrow's newsday,
And I wanted
to show you somethin'
Before anybody else
knows about it.
- What happened?
Did you do something illegal?
- No.
No, no, no.
There's
this great column.
I want you
to read it.
It's from
this new guy.
Oh, here it is.
He's really--
he's a great writer,
Even though he is
a little weird-lookin'.
He's a--
look at his picture.
- [gasps]
- Yeah,
he's weird-lookin'.
- Ahh!
Oh, my god!
Oh, god,
when did this happen?
- It happened Monday.
I didn't even tell
my family yet.
I just--I wanted you
to be the first to see it.
- "more than a game"
by raymond barone.
Oh, my god!
Oh, ray!
Oh, good,
I'm so happy for you.
- Whoops!
Sorry.
You guys finishing up
or just starting?
- Dad!
Come on, what are
you doing back here?
- Relax, romeo, I forgot
my driving glasses.
I would have kept going,
But your mother thinks
I hit a deer.
- Ray, tell your dad.
- No, no, no,
not now.
- What?
What, did you break something?
- No, no!
- Look, frank, look.
- Wait, wait,
what is it?
Hey, it's you.
- Yeah, it's his column.
He's a columnist.
- Holy crap.
A columnist?
But newsday is
like a real paper.
- Yeah, well, I guess
I slipped through the cracks.
- Hey, wait, wait, wait,
I wanna read this.
It's not every day a son of mine
amounts to something.
- Dad, please, come on,
Mom's waiting for you
in the car.
- She's fine.
I cracked the window.
- Dad, please,
give it to me.
- "as a boy,
sports was the only way
I could connect
with my father."
- Dad.
- "the first game
he took me to
"was at yankee stadium
when I was eight.
"bobby murcer homered
in the ninth to win it.
"I thought nothing
could be more thrilling.
"then on the ride home,
my father talked to me.
"he listened.
"he shared his passion
for sports with me.
"I love sports
for many reasons now,
"but I have to say
That what drew me to the games
as a young boy
Was the ride home."
What, are you saying
I didn't talk to you?
What is this?
Is that what you're saying?
- All right, dad,
that's not what I'm saying.
Now, please,
don't read anymore.
- Frank, I'm in the car.
What are you doing
reading the newspaper?
- He's reading ray's column.
- Yeah, I'm reading
about how terrible I was.
- Ray's column?
- Your son is the new
sports columnist for newsday.
- Oh!
- Okay. All right.
Okay, ma.
- I knew you'd do it.
You're a writer.
I told you
he was smart.
Let me see that.
Let me see that.
- Hey, hey, let go.
It's about me.
- Dad, will you please
give me the newspaper?
- I didn't connect
with you?
- Dad, you're not supposed--
give it to me, dad.
- I'm trying to connect
with you.
Get away from me.
- You're not supposed
to read it!
- What are you afraid of?
I'm finishing this!
"I'm hoping sports
will bring me closer
"to someone else
in my life.
"the person who will be sitting
next to me reading this.
Debra,
will you marry me?"
- For that last part,
He was supposed
to be down on one knee.
- Oh, honey!
- Dad, what did you do?
- Oh, raymond,
it's so wonderful.
- What's going on?
- Oh, raymond just asked
debra to marry him.
- Well, technically.
- And?
- And?
Oh...
- Yes!
[screams]
[both laughing]
[all talking]
- Congratulations
to you both.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
- Oh, I know,
I'm so pleased.
And raymond got
his own column today.
- And his picture
in the paper.
- Oh, look at him.
[all talking at once]
- I can't believe this!
- Hey.
- Hey.
Read your column.
- Oh, yeah?
- Pretty good.
The stuff about dad
and the ride home.
- Yeah, thanks.
- You know,
I was there too.
- Yeah, no.
I know.
I was going to mention you,
But, you know,
the column's so--
- No, no.
Anyway, congratulations
on the column.
And the engagement.
- Thanks.
You know,
I was wondering if you...
You know, if you wanted to be
best man and all?
- Me?
- Yeah. Yeah.
- That would be an honor.
- Good, 'cause you're definitely
in the running.
I'm kidding.
It's you.
- It's me?
- It's you. You're in.
- Oh, you're kidding around.
- You're in.
- Good. Best man, yeah.
- Why not?
- That'll be good,
best man.
- That was crazy.
Wasn't that crazy last night?
God, I couldn't even
give debra the ring.
- Why don't you have
dad give it to her?
[laughing]
- Yeah, I get it.
- I can't believe you proposed
to her in front all of them.
- Yeah.
Wait a minute.
- What?
- What if she wanted
to say no?
- What do you mean?
- She was in front
of the whole family.
She had to say yes.
- Come on.
- Plus, I put it
in the paper.
Oh, no,
why did I do that?
She couldn't say no.
Oh, my god.
I am a jack ass.
- I think you're supposed to put
the accent on the jack.
- Oh, god,
what did I do?
I'm like one of those losers
at the ball game
That rents a blimp.
Oh, "marry me, hilda."
yeah.
Hilda can't say no.
They'll throw beer on her.
- Would you stop, okay?
- Think about it.
Think about it. Really.
She's hot, right?
- Oh, yeah, you know,
the guys at the precinct...
- Okay, okay, okay!
So why me, huh?
I mean, well, look at me.
Look at me.
Look at me, man.
I mean, from the front,
all right, I'm okay.
I can get by
from the front.
But look at
my profile.
I'm a flamingo.
- Everybody thinks
I'm the weird one.
- No, you know I'm right.
You know I'm right.
- Raymond, calm down, okay?
Let's look at the facts,
all right?
She comes over,
right away you get a kiss.
Always.
- Well, so?
I get that from mom.
- That must be nice too.
How about when debra's
sitting next to you, right?
She always has to be
right up against you.
Holding your hand,
playing with your hair.
You both make me sick.
You know why she wants
to marry you, raymond?
Because she loves you.
That's why she said yes.
- Maybe.
- Where are you going?
- I've gotta give her
another chance to say no.
- Flamingo.
[laughs]
yeah.
[door knocking]
- Hi.
- Hi.
- So?
Feel different, huh?
- Why, do you
feel different?
- Of course.
- Like, doomed?
- Yes, exactly like that.
- Listen, listen.
Last night,
When my father asked
you to marry me
And you said yes
to my mother...
I'm wondering
if maybe...
- What?
- Well, like, maybe
you felt pressured,
Like you were
at a ball park.
- What?
- All right,
let me ask you again.
Okay, nobody's--
nobody's here.
You can say
whatever you want.
Do you really
want to marry me?
- [gasps]
Oh, my god!
- Wait, wait, is that for me
or for the ring?
- Oh, my god!
This is so beautiful.
- Okay, but would you
still want me without the ring?
- What are you
talking about?
I can't believe this.
Lookit. I can't wait
to show everybody.
Wait, I gotta look at this
under the light.
- I'm never going to get
a straight answer now.
- Gimme that ring
for a second, please.
- No, no, no, no.
Give me my ring back.
- Wait, please, wait!
Do you really want
to marry me?
- What?
Yes!
- Take your time!
Think...One more time.
[sighs]
Do you really
wanna marry me?
- Yes, ray,
I really wanna marry you.
I got the ring!
I got the ring!
Oh, I love it.
It's great.
Come here.
Come here, I gotta show you
all my plans here.
- Plans?
What do you mean?
- Yeah, for the wedding.
- You're already
planning the wedding?
- I've been planning it
since I was 12.
You didn't meet me
till you were 22.
- Well, you're the last piece
of the puzzle.
- Yeah.
You're sure that I fit?
You're not, like, cramming me
in there, right?
- Ok, ok,
look at this.
These bridesmaids dresses.
Do you like that color?
- Yeah, they're great
If they're going to jog
to church at night, I guess.
- Ha ha.
Come on, this is important.
- So this is all
about the wedding.
- Of course it's
about the wedding.
- Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Wait a second.
What if I told you
forget about all this?
Huh? Would you still
wanna marry me
If we couldn't have
a big wedding?
- I don't need
a big wedding.
That's fine.
- Wait, wait, what about
what your sister had?
- Oh, god, that was
way too much.
I wouldn't
want that anyway.
- So, you're not just excited
now about a big wedding?
You'd marry me even if
we had a small wedding.
- Oh, honey, listen,
if you want a small wedding,
We'll have
a small wedding, ok?
- You're good with
a small wedding?
- Of course.
- And I'm still honey?
- Yes, you are.
- Ok.
[doorbell rings]
Aah, my parents!
- Oh, boy.
[all talking at once]
- Hello there,
son-in-law.
- Hello there...You.
- You know,
on the way down here,
I was busy reading my favorite
sports columnist.
Boy, that mike lupica
can really write.
Congratulations, ray.
- I've never been
a sports fan,
But now...Go sports!
- Ok.
- Look, mom.
- Is that adorable?
- Hey, we gotta talk date.
- Oh, yes.
I checked, and the country
club is only available
On June 3 or the 17th.
- It's the big room, dear.
- Of course
it's the big room.
Big room, big band,
big shrimp.
- So, like, 200,
250 tops.
- 250? People?
- Yeah, why?
What did you have in mind?
- A small wedding.
Like 20 people.
[laughter]
Ok, 2o each.
- 40?
- You said a small wedding.
You said you didn't care about
a big wedding.
- Ray, but 40 people
is not a wedding.
That's like a barbecue.
- So you do care
about the wedding.
- Honey, I told you
I've been imagining this
Since I was 12 years old.
- You knew 200 people
when you were 12?
- You know, last month,
I was at a wedding
Where they
released doves.
- Oh, can't believe
you said that.
I have a picture of it
right here.
- Doves?
- Oh, and the centerpieces.
Do you know what
they're doing now?
The base is a fishbowl.
- With fish in it?
- Well, of course,
with fish in it.
- God, that would be so great.
- So, ladies,
the third or the 17th?
[both]
17th.
- The chocolatier isn't
available until then.
- Yes, and that'll give me a
chance for another fitting.
- Yes.
- Ralph, it's warren.
Big room. Mm-hmm.
The 17th.
Right.
- I'm invited, right?
get ready for our wedding?
- Mommy.
- Oh, that's right.

I was wondering if you...
You know, if you wanted to be
best man and all?
- Me?
- Yeah. Yeah.
- That would be an honor.
- Good, 'cause you're definitely
in the running.
I'm kidding.
It's you.
- It's me?
- It's you. You're in.
- Oh, you're kidding around.
- You're in.
- Good. Best man, yeah.
- Why not?
- That'll be good,
best man.
- That was crazy.
Wasn't that crazy last night?
God, I couldn't even
give debra the ring.
- Why don't you have
dad give it to her?
[laughing]
- Yeah, I get it.
- I can't believe you proposed
to her in front all of them.
- Yeah.
Wait a minute.
- What?
- What if she wanted
to say no?
- What do you mean?
- She was in front
of the whole family.
She had to say yes.
- Come on.
- Plus, I put it
in the paper.
Oh, no,
why did I do that?
She couldn't say no.
Oh, my god.
I am a jack ass.
- I think you're supposed to put
the accent on the jack.
- Oh, god,
what did I do?
I'm like one of those losers
at the ball game
That rents a blimp.
Oh, "marry me, hilda."
yeah.
Hilda can't say no.
They'll throw beer on her.
- Would you stop, okay?
- Think about it.
Think about it. Really.
She's hot, right?
- Oh, yeah, you know,
the guys at the precinct...
- Okay, okay, okay!
So why me, huh?
I mean, well, look at me.
Look at me.
Look at me, man.
I mean, from the front,
all right, I'm okay.
I can get by
from the front.
But look at
my profile.
I'm a flamingo.
- Everybody thinks
I'm the weird one.
- No, you know I'm right.
You know I'm right.
- Raymond, calm down, okay?
Let's look at the facts,
all right?
She comes over,
right away you get a kiss.
Always.
- Well, so?
I get that from mom.
- That must be nice too.
How about when debra's
sitting next to you, right?
She always has to be
right up against you.
Holding your hand,
playing with your hair.
You both make me sick.
You know why she wants
to marry you, raymond?
Because she loves you.
That's why she said yes.
- Maybe.
- Where are you going?
- I've gotta give her
another chance to say no.
- Flamingo.
[laughs]
yeah.
[door knocking]
- Hi.
- Hi.
- So?
Feel different, huh?
- Why, do you
feel different?
- Of course.
- Like, doomed?
- Yes, exactly like that.
- Listen, listen.
Last night,
When my father asked
you to marry me
And you said yes
to my mother...
I'm wondering
if maybe...
- What?
- Well, like, maybe
you felt pressured,
Like you were
at a ball park.
- What?
- All right,
let me ask you again.
Okay, nobody's--
nobody's here.
You can say
whatever you want.
Do you really
want to marry me?
- [gasps]
Oh, my god!
- Wait, wait, is that for me
or for the ring?
- Oh, my god!
This is so beautiful.
- Okay, but would you
still want me without the ring?
- What are you
talking about?
I can't believe this.
Lookit. I can't wait
to show everybody.
Wait, I gotta look at this
under the light.
- I'm never going to get
a straight answer now.
- Gimme that ring
for a second, please.
- No, no, no, no.
Give me my ring back.
- Wait, please, wait!
Do you really want
to marry me?
- What?
Yes!
- Take your time!
Think...One more time.
[sighs]
Do you really
wanna marry me?
- Yes, ray,
I really wanna marry you.
I got the ring!
I got the ring!
Oh, I love it.
It's great.
Come here.
Come here, I gotta show you
all my plans here.
- Plans?
What do you mean?
- Yeah, for the wedding.
- You're already
planning the wedding?
- I've been planning it
since I was 12.
You didn't meet me
till you were 22.
- Well, you're the last piece
of the puzzle.
- Yeah.
You're sure that I fit?
You're not, like, cramming me
in there, right?
- Ok, ok,
look at this.
These bridesmaids dresses.
Do you like that color?
- Yeah, they're great
If they're going to jog
to church at night, I guess.
- Ha ha.
Come on, this is important.
- So this is all
about the wedding.
- Of course it's
about the wedding.
- Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Wait a second.
What if I told you
forget about all this?
Huh? Would you still
wanna marry me
If we couldn't have
a big wedding?
- I don't need
a big wedding.
That's fine.
- Wait, wait, what about
what your sister had?
- Oh, god, that was
way too much.
I wouldn't
want that anyway.
- So, you're not just excited
now about a big wedding?
You'd marry me even if
we had a small wedding.
- Oh, honey, listen,
if you want a small wedding,
We'll have
a small wedding, ok?
- You're good with
a small wedding?
- Of course.
- And I'm still honey?
- Yes, you are.
- Ok.
[doorbell rings]
Aah, my parents!
- Oh, boy.
[all talking at once]
- Hello there,
son-in-law.
- Hello there...You.
- You know,
on the way down here,
I was busy reading my favorite
sports columnist.
Boy, that mike lupica
can really write.
Congratulations, ray.
- I've never been
a sports fan,
But now...Go sports!
- Ok.
- Look, mom.
- Is that adorable?
- Hey, we gotta talk date.
- Oh, yes.
I checked, and the country
club is only available
On June 3 or the 17th.
- It's the big room, dear.
- Of course
it's the big room.
Big room, big band,
big shrimp.
- So, like, 200,
250 tops.
- 250? People?
- Yeah, why?
What did you have in mind?
- A small wedding.
Like 20 people.
[laughter]
Ok, 2o each.
- 40?
- You said a small wedding.
You said you didn't care about
a big wedding.
- Ray, but 40 people
is not a wedding.
That's like a barbecue.
- So you do care
about the wedding.
- Honey, I told you
I've been imagining this
Since I was 12 years old.
- You knew 200 people
when you were 12?
- You know, last month,
I was at a wedding
Where they
released doves.
- Oh, can't believe
you said that.
I have a picture of it
right here.
- Doves?
- Oh, and the centerpieces.
Do you know what
they're doing now?
The base is a fishbowl.
- With fish in it?
- Well, of course,
with fish in it.
- God, that would be so great.
- So, ladies,
the third or the 17th?
[both]
17th.
- The chocolatier isn't
available until then.
- Yes, and that'll give me a
chance for another fitting.
- Yes.
- Ralph, it's warren.
Big room. Mm-hmm.
The 17th.
Right.
- I'm invited, right?
