Family Matters (1989–1998): Season 1, Episode 1 - The Mama Who Came to Dinner - full transcript
In the pilot episode, viewers meet the rest of Chicago Chronicle elevator operator Harriette Winslow's family. The first plot centers around her husband, Carl, a police sergeant with the Chicago Police Department. He's uptight when he learns that his mother, Estelle (aka Mother Winslow), is moving in - especially since his position as the family's "Head Kahuna" is threatened.

HEY, CARL, HURRY UP.
YOUR MAMA'S GOING
TO BE HERE ANY MINUTE.
YOU KNOW, BABY,
I'VE BEEN THINKING.
MAMA DOESN'T HAVE
TO COME LIVE WITH US.
SHE CAN GO LIVE
WITH FRANK IN NEW YORK.
HE HAS THAT
BIG APARTMENT.
IT'S JUST HIM
LIVING THERE.
I'M GOING
TO CALL FRANK.
SHE HASN'T LIKED HIM
SINCE HE TOOK EST.
WELL, WHAT ABOUT
MY OTHER BROTHERS,
WALTER OR CALVIN?
NOW, CALVIN OWES ME.
I PUT HIM
THROUGH COLLEGE.
I'LL CALL CALVIN.
WHAT IS IT WITH YOU?
YOUR MOTHER'S A SWEET LADY.
I'M GOING TO LOVE
HAVING HER HERE.
OH. SEE, I GET IT.
YOU THINK THE WOMAN
COMING TO LIVE WITH US
IS THE SAME WOMAN
YOU SEE WHEN WE VISIT
FOR THANKSGIVING.
SEE, BABY, THAT'S
WHERE YOU'RE WRONG.
SEE, THAT'S
THE HOLIDAY MOTHER--
THE ONE WHO SAYS,
"OOH, HARRIETTE,
YOU'RE LOOKING
MORE BEAUTIFUL
EVERY TIME I SEE YOU,"
BUT THE REAL
MOTHER WINSLOW
IS DIFFERENT.
SHE TAKES OVER
EVERYTHING.
HARRIETTE, IF WE
LET HER IN HERE,
SHE'LL RUN OUR LIVES.
SHE'LL TELL US
WHEN TO EAT,
WHAT TIME TO SLEEP--
OH, MY--
HARRIETTE, SHE'LL
PUT ME ON A DIET,
AND I'LL WASTE AWAY
TO NOTHING.
CARL, WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT YOUR MOTHER...
NOT A MAGICIAN.
OKAY, FORGET THAT.
WHAT ABOUT THIS--
WE COULD MOVE TO MIAMI.
SHE HATES BUGS.
LET IT GO.
LET ME HOLD HIM.
RACHEL SAID I COULD
TAKE CARE OF RICHIE.
I WANNA HOLD HIM.
YOU CAN
WHEN YOU'RE OLDER.
WHEN I GET OLDER,
HE WON'T BE A BABY.
HEY, STUFF HAPPENS.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
YOU'RE PUTTING OUT
THESE FRESH FLOWERS.
NOW MAMA'S
GOING TO EXPECT
FRESH FLOWERS EVERY DAY.
I'M NOT PAYING FOR
FRESH FLOWERS EVERY DAY.
THEY'RE FROM
OUR BACK YARD.
ALL YOU'RE PAYING FOR
IS MANURE.
OKAY, HOW ABOUT THIS--
WE BUY AN RV,
STICK MAMA IN IT,
AND DON'T GIVE HER
A KEY TO THE HOUSE.
IT'S OVER.
SHE'S MOVING IN.
MOM, TODAY I'M GOING
TO DO YOUR LAUNDRY,
WASH THE CAR,
AND MOW THE LAWN.
WHO ARE YOU,
AND WHAT HAVE YOU
DONE WITH OUR SON?
FORGET OUR SON.
LET'S KEEP THIS ONE.
OKAY, EDWARD,
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
WELL, THERE'S
ONE SMALL THING.
EDDIE'S BACK.
TONY'S HAVING
PEOPLE OVER TONIGHT
TO WATCH SOME TV.
CAN I GO, PLEASE?
YOU SEE, THERE'S
A CATCH HERE.
IT'S UP TO US
TO FIND IT.
YOU'RE THE COP.
ARE TONY'S PARENTS
GONNA BE THERE?
OF COURSE.
BEER, GIRLS.
NO, NO.
HOW LATE?
2:00.
BINGO! BOOK HIM,
DANO.
YOU KNOW
YOUR CURFEW'S 10:00.
I DON'T NEED
AN ANSWER NOW.
TAKE TIME.
THINK ABOUT IT.
I'LL BE OUTSIDE
ROTATING YOUR TIRES.
SHOULD WE TELL HIM
IT'S POINTLESS?
LET'S STRING HIM ALONG.
MAYBE WE CAN GET
THE HOUSE PAINTED.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
THAT'S YOUR MAMA.
HARRIETTE,
WAIT A MINUTE.
WHAT DO I DO?
OPEN THE DOOR.
WHAT ARE
MY OTHER OPTIONS?
YOU DON'T HAVE ANY.
OPEN THE DOOR.
HI, MAMA.
THERE'S MY BABY BOY.
HARRIETTE, YOU GET
MORE BEAUTIFUL
EVERY TIME I SEE YOU.
CARL, YOU'RE
PUTTING ON WEIGHT.
THANK YOU FOR LETTING
ME COME LIVE HERE.
WE'RE GLAD TO HAVE YOU,
AREN'T WE?
OH, WE'RE JUST
TICKLED TO DEATH.
TELL ME
ABOUT YOUR TRIP.
OH, THAT'S OKAY.
NOBODY HELP ME.
HERE, RACHEL,
LET ME HELP YOU
WITH THOSE.
WHAT'S SHE GOT
IN THERE--A HOME GYM?
GRANDMA!
OH, THERE'S MY GIRLS.
JUST COME
RIGHT OVER HERE
AND GIVE ME
SOME SUGAR.
GIVE ME MORE SUGAR.
GIRLS, WHO'S
WATCHING MY BABY?
SHE IS. SHE IS.
EXCUSE ME.
MAMA, MAKE YOURSELF
COMFORTABLE WHILE
WE GET REFRESHMENTS.
GIRLS, TALK
TO YOUR GRANDMA.
NOW, BEFORE YOU GO,
I WANT YOU TO KNOW
I DON'T EXPECT
ANY SPECIAL TREATMENT.
I'LL HELP OUT
WHERE I CAN
AND NOT GET IN THE WAY.
THAT'S SWEET.
I'M SURE WE'LL ALL
GET ALONG JUST FINE,
WON'T WE, CARL?
OH, IT'LL BE HEAVEN.
HARRIETTE, WHY DID YOU
MAKE ME LIE LIKE THAT?
WE WON'T GET ALONG FINE.
SHE'S BEEN FINE
SO FAR.
WELL, SHE HASN'T
PUT HER PURSE DOWN YET.
CARL, I LIKE YOUR MAMA.
YOU PUT A SMILE
ON YOUR FACE OR YOU'RE GONNA
BE IN DEEP TROUBLE WITH ME.
WOW, YOU KNEW THE QUEEN
OF ENGLAND?
THAT WAS
A LONG TIME AGO,
WHEN I WORKED
FOR THE FAIRCHILDES.
OH, I'VE TRAVELED
THIS WORLD...
MET A LOT
OF INTERESTING PEOPLE.
HAVE YOU EVER
MET PRINCE?
I MET A LOT OF PRINCE--
PRINCE OF WALES,
PRINCE OF DENMARK,
PRINCE OF NEPAL.
WHAT PRINCE
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
SHE'S TALKING ABOUT
THE PRINCE THAT SINGS
AND WEARS PURPLE UNDERWEAR.
THAT WOULD BE
THE PRINCE OF NEPAL.
GIRLS, HAVE YOU
CLEANED YOUR ROOM?
I CLEANED MY HALF.
NO, YOU DIDN'T.
YOUR JUNK'S ON MY HALF.
GIRLS, UPSTAIRS.
BUT MA, SHE--
NOW.
MAMA, WOULD YOU CARE
FOR ICED TEA?
I DON'T DRINK CAFFEINE.
CAFFEINE'S BAD
FOR MY SYSTEM.
IN FACT, IT'S NO GOOD
FOR ANY OF YOU--
ESPECIALLY YOU, CARL.
YOUR HEART'S ALREADY
WORKING OVERTIME.
I'M GOING TO GET YOU
ON A DIET.
GRANDMA!
THERE'S MY BOY.
HOW IS MY FAVORITE
GRANDSON?
I'M DOING GREAT,
GRANDMA.
DAD, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE
BEFORE I GO TO THE PARTY?
EDWARD, YOU'RE NOT GOING.
YOU'RE TELLING ME
I WAS NICE FOR NOTHING?
THAT'S THE LAST TIME
I DO ANYTHING
AROUND THIS HOUSE!
HERE, TAKE THIS WITH YOU.
YES, MAMA.
WHY WON'T YOUR PARENTS
LET YOU GO TO THE PARTY?
I DON'T KNOW.
WE'RE JUST GONNA WATCH
A RAMBO MARATHON.
THE PROBLEM IS
MY CURFEW'S AT 10:00.
THE FIRST MOVIE DOESN'T
START UNTIL 9:30.
WELL, THAT STINKS.
RAMBO WON'T EVEN
BLOW UP ANYBODY
TILL AFTER 10:00.
THAT'S WHAT I TOLD DAD.
YOU KNOW, HE'S FORGOTTEN
WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE 15.
I'LL HANDLE YOUR FATHER
AT DINNER.
YOUR GRANDMA'S GONNA FIGHT
FOR YOUR RIGHT TO PARTY.
LET'S GET
SOME APPLESAUCE.
APPLESAUCE.
OKAY, COME ON.
MMM.
YUM YUM YUM
YUM YUM YUM.
MMM.
WHEN SHALL I SEE
THE NEXT CHAPTER
OF YOUR NOVEL?
I'M DYING TO KNOW
WHAT HAPPENS.
SO AM I.
I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHO CHASTITY FALLS FOR.
WASN'T SHE
MARRYING THOMAS?
SHE WAS, BUT
I KILLED HIM OFF
IN CHAPTER SIX.
YOU'RE THE WRITER.
BRING HIM BACK.
I CAN'T.
HE WAS EATEN BY A SHARK.
IT'S HARD TO BOUNCE
BACK FROM THAT.
I KNOW YOU'RE
THE CREATIVE ONE
IN THE FAMILY,
BUT THE SHARK PART
IS STINKING UP YOUR BOOK.
THAT WAS SOME
OF MY BEST WRITING.
YOU LIKE THE SHARK PART,
DIDN'T YOU, SWEETHEART?
ARE WE EVER
GOING TO EAT?
MY DIGESTION'S
ABOUT TO SHUT DOWN.
IT WON'T BE LONG.
HOPE YOU LIKE MEAT LOAF.
NEVER HAVE
LIKED MEAT LOAF.
MAYBE YOURS IS DIFFERENT.
HAS IT GOT MEAT IN IT?
YEAH...OTHERWISE
WE'D JUST CALL IT LOAF.
I THINK
I WILL GO UPSTAIRS,
PUT MY LITTLE MAN TO BED,
AND CHANGE MY CLOTHES.
LET ME SEE HIM.
SAY GOODNIGHT.
THAT'S MAMA'S
LITTLE CHIPMUNK CHEEKS.
OH! YOU'RE FIXING
GREEN BEANS.
I LOVE GREEN BEANS.
I'M GLAD.
YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE
THE MUSHROOM SAUCE.
IT'S FROM
YOUR RECIPE.
CAN'T BE MY RECIPE.
MUSHROOMS GIVE ME GAS.
MOTHER WINSLOW,
YOU'VE HAD
A HARD DAY.
WE'VE ALL
HAD A HARD DAY.
WHY DON'T YOU GO
INTO THE LIVING ROOM
AND RELAX?
'CAUSE I'VE GOT ONE
NERVE LEFT, AND YOU'RE
LEANING ON IT.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
COME IN.
CAN I TALK TO YOU?
YOU'RE JUST THE PERSON
I WANTED TO SEE.
COME HERE AND SIT DOWN.
I'VE GOT A GREAT IDEA
FOR MY NEXT CHAPTER.
TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK.
CHASTITY FALL'S BACK
IN LOVE WITH THOMAS.
SHE CAN'T FALL IN LOVE
WITH THOMAS.
HE WAS EATEN BY A SHARK.
CHASTITY THOUGHT IT WAS,
BUT IT WAS SOMEONE ELSE.
IT HAD TO BE HIM.
WHEN THE SHARK SWAM AWAY,
CHASTITY WAS STILL
HOLDING HIS HAND
WITH THE DIAMOND
PINKY RING.
WHAT, YOU'VE NEVER HEARD
OF POETIC LICENSE?
I KNOW YOU'RE
THE CREATIVE ONE
IN THE FAMILY,
BUT THE SHARK PART
IS STINKING UP YOUR BOOK.
ALRIGHT, I'LL LOSE
THE SHARK PART.
WHAT DID YOU
WANT TO TALK ABOUT?
IS DADDY GOING
TO THROW GRANDMA OUT?
OH, HONEY,
COME HERE.
THERE'S NO WAY
YOUR DADDY'S GOING
TO THROW HER OUT.
HE'S GOT
TOO BIG A HEART.
REMEMBER WHEN YOUR
UNCLE ROBERT DIED,
AND I HAD TO TAKE
CARE OF THE BABY
ALL BY MYSELF?
YOUR DADDY ASKED ME
TO MOVE IN HERE, RIGHT?
IT WASN'T ALL PEACHES
AND CREAM AT FIRST.
WE ALL HAD TO MAKE
SOME ADJUSTMENTS.
THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING
WITH YOUR GRANDMA NOW.
EVERYONE IS MAKING
ADJUSTMENTS.
I HOPE THEY FINISH
ADJUSTING SOON.
IT'S GIVING ME A RASH.
HARRIETTE, MAMA'S
SITTING IN MY CHAIR.
DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
COMPLAINING ABOUT.
SHE INSULTED MY MEAT LOAF
BEFORE I EVEN TOOK IT
OUT OF THE OVEN.
THIS WAS A BAD IDEA,
A REAL BAD IDEA,
HARRIETTE.
IT YOU SAY,
"I TOLD YOU SO,"
AND YOU'LL BE WEARING
THIS MEAT LOAF.
I'M SORRY HONEY,
BUT WE'VE GOT TO EAT NOW
OR I WON'T BE REGULAR
FOR A WEEK.
SHE'S DOING IT
AGAIN, HARRIETTE.
SHE'S SITTING
IN MY CHAIR.
I'M SUPPOSED TO BE AT THE HEAD
OF THE TABLE.
LET IT GO. WE'LL BUY
A ROUND TABLE.
COME ON, LET'S EAT.
BOY, IT SMELLS GOOD.
WHY CAN'T I
CHANGE THE BABY?
HONEY, LAURA HAS
MORE EXPERIENCE.
GIVE IT TO HER
STRAIGHT.
YOU'RE TOO YOUNG AND SHORT.
THE BABY DOESN'T LIKE YOU.
DON'T ARGUE
AT THE DINNER TABLE.
OKAY, LET'S TAKE IT
OUTSIDE.
SIT DOWN.
I'M SORRY I'M LATE.
WOO! LOOKING GOOD.
WHAT ARE YOU
DRESSED UP FOR?
I THOUGHT SINCE IT WAS
GRANDMA'S FIRST DAY...
DINNER SHOULD BE SPECIAL.
HE'S SUCH A GOOD BOY.
CARL, YOU WANT
TO SAY GRACE?
LET US PRAY.
OH, LORD...
WE THANK YOU FOR THIS FOOD
AND YOUR MANY BLESSINGS.
AND WE ASK SIMPLY
THAT YOU DELIVER US
FROM EVIL...
EVEN IF IT WERE TO WALK
THROUGH OUR FRONT DOOR.
AMEN.
AMEN. AMEN.
SO, EDDIE, BIG PLANS
FOR TONIGHT, HUH?
I WAS GOING TO A PARTY,
BUT DAD WON'T LET ME.
YOUR FATHER'S GOT
YOUR BEST INTEREST
AT HEART.
THANK YOU, MAMA.
YOU SHOULDN'T GO
TO WILD PARTIES
WHERE THERE MAY BE
DRINKING, CAROUSING,
AND ALL.
THERE'S NOT GOING
TO BE ANY OF THAT--
JUST KIDS WATCHING TV
UNTIL REAL LATE.
WATCHING TV?
MM-HMM.
THAT'S IT?
MM-HMM.
I CAN'T GO BECAUSE
MY CURFEW'S AT 10:00.
10:00? YOU'VE GOT
TO BE KIDDING.
OH, CARL,
IT'S ALMOST THE NINETIES.
LIGHTEN UP.
LIGHTEN UP?
EDDIE, GO TO THAT PARTY
AND HAVE A GOOD TIME.
IN FRANCE,
15-YEAR-OLD BOYS CAN STAY OUT
AS LATE AS THEY LIKE.
WHEN HE'S IN FRANCE,
HE CAN, TOO,
BUT IN THIS COUNTRY HIS
CURFEW'S STILL 10:00.
AND THAT'S FINAL.
IT'S NOT FAIR!
I'M 15, AND YOU'RE
TREATING ME LIKE A KID!
EDWARD.
I'LL TALK
WITH HIM.
GIVE A MAN A BADGE.
WELL, I TALKED TO EDDIE.
HE SAID HE'S NOT
COMING OUT OF HIS ROOM
UNTIL HE'S 18
AND THEN HE'S
MOVING TO FRANCE.
WELL, NOW, THAT'S IT.
THIS IS ALL MY
MOTHER'S FAULT,
HARRIETTE.
THIS TIME SHE'S
GONE TOO FAR.
SHE'S GOT TO KNOW,
SHE CAN'T RUN THIS HOUSE.
AND SHE CAN'T
INTERFERE WITH THE WAY
WE RAISE OUR KIDS.
AND SHE'S GOT TO KNOW
THAT SHE CANNOT SIT
IN MY CHAIR.
YOU'RE RIGHT, CARL.
OH, I'M GLAD YOU AGREE,
SO NOW GO TELL HER.
ME? SHE'S YOUR MOTHER.
YOU'RE THE ONE THAT
TOLD HER SHE COULD MOVE IN.
SHE'S YOUR MOTHER.
BUT SHE LIKES YOU.
SHE'S YOUR MOTHER.
IS THAT ALL YOU GOT?
THAT'S ALL I NEED.
OH, ALRIGHT.
I'LL GO TALK TO HER.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
SHE'S OUT IN THE BACK PORCH.
I KNOW.
I'M GONNA GO TAKE
A LITTLE WALK
THINK ABOUT WHAT
I'M GONNA SAY TO HER.
YOU NEED ANYTHING FROM CANADA?
OH, MA.
HMM?
I SEE YOU'RE BUSY.
I'LL COME BACK.
YOU'LL HAVE A LONG WAIT.
THIS IS A RUG.
WHAT DO YOU WANT
TO TALK ABOUT?
WELL, MA, I DON'T
QUITE KNOW HOW
TO SAY THIS.
IT'S DELICATE,
AND I DON'T WANT
TO HURT YOUR FEELINGS.
GO AHEAD AND SAY
WHAT YOU'VE GOT TO SAY.
I'M NOT SENSITIVE.
I CAN TAKE IT.
OKAY.
MAMA, YOU'RE DRIVING ME
AND HARRIETTE CRAZY.
THAT'S IT.
I'M OUT OF HERE.
WAIT A MINUTE, MAMA.
SIT RIGHT HERE,
AND WE'LL WORK THIS OUT.
I KNOW IT'S
BEEN HARD FOR YOU
SINCE DAD DIED.
YOU HAD TO RAISE
FIVE SONS
AND WORK
AT THE SAME TIME.
YOU GOT USED
TO BEING IN CHARGE.
WHEN YOU CAME HERE
AND NATURALLY TOOK OVER.
I WAS JUST
TRYING TO HELP.
MOTHER, I KNOW
THAT YOU MEANT WELL,
BUT LOOK AT ME.
I AM NOT YOUR
LITTLE BOY ANYMORE.
I'M GROWN UP
WITH A FAMILY OF MY OWN.
I KNEW MOVING IN
WASN'T GOING TO BE
EASY FOR YOU.
I MUST ADMIT
I HAD MY DOUBTS,
BUT, MOTHER, I REALLY
WANT THIS TO WORK.
I WANT IT
TO WORK, TOO.
I'M RUNNING OUT
OF SONS.
BUT IF IT'S GOING
TO WORK, MA,
WE'VE ALL GOT TO MAKE
SOME ADJUSTMENTS.
LIKE WHAT?
ME AND HARRIETTE GOT TO BE ABLE
TO RUN OUR OWN HOUSE.
YOU'VE GOT TO RETIRE
FROM BEING IN CHARGE.
YOU CAN BE AN ADVISOR.
I'M A LITTLE OLD
FOR A CAREER CHANGE,
BUT I CAN TRY.
THANK YOU, MAMA.
IT WOULD HELP IF YOU TOLD
EDWARD YOU WERE OUT OF LINE
ABOUT HIS CURFEW.
I WASN'T OUT OF LINE
ABOUT THAT.
NOW, SPEAKING
AS YOUR ADVISOR...
IF EDDIE IS TO LEARN
RESPONSIBILITY,
YOU'VE GOT TO TRUST HIM.
MAYBE
YOU'RE RIGHT, MA.
I'LL GO TALK TO EDWARD.
I LOVE YOU, MAMA.
I LOVE YOU, TOO,
DARLING.
MY BABY.
OH, WELL, WHILE
YOU'RE TALKING
TO EDWARD,
I'LL GO APOLOGIZE
TO HARRIETTE.
AND TO SHOW HER
I'M SINCERE,
I'LL TRY
TO CHOKE DOWN
A PIECE OF
THAT MEAT LOAF.
DON'T GO
IN THE OTHER ROOM.
OH, MAN.
OH, YEAH.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
HEY, SON.
HI, DAD.
CAN I TALK TO YOU?
SURE.
FIRST, I WANT TO SAY
I APPRECIATE YOUR
GIVING UP YOUR ROOM
FOR YOUR GRANDMOTHER.
LIVING IN THE ATTIC
ISN'T THE GREATEST
THING.
WELL, IT HAS
ITS ADVANTAGES.
WELL, SON, ABOUT THIS
CURFEW THING, I...
WELL, I'VE BEEN
THINKING, AND...
THE TRUTH IS,
HOW ARE YOU GOING
TO LEARN RESPONSIBILITY
IF I DON'T START
LEARNING TO TRUST YOU.
OH, MY.
ANYWAY...
I'VE DECIDED TO
CHANGE YOUR CURFEW
TO 11:00.
THAT STILL MEANS
I CAN'T GO.
I'M GOING TO MAKE
THE EXCEPTION
JUST THIS ONCE.
YOU CAN GO TO THE PARTY.
DAD, THANKS!
SINCE WE'RE
GETTING ALONG SO WELL,
HOW ABOUT DOUBLING
MY ALLOWANCE?
DON'T PUSH IT, EDWARD.
[SINGING]
SOUNDS LIKE
EVERYONE'S GETTING
ALONG FOR A CHANGE.
I'D BETTER GO
BEFORE THEY
GET OVER IT.
I'LL JUST
TAKE THESE...
FOR MY NEXT
STAKEOUT.

HEY, CARL, HURRY UP.
YOUR MAMA'S GOING
TO BE HERE ANY MINUTE.
YOU KNOW, BABY,
I'VE BEEN THINKING.
MAMA DOESN'T HAVE
TO COME LIVE WITH US.
SHE CAN GO LIVE
WITH FRANK IN NEW YORK.
HE HAS THAT
BIG APARTMENT.
IT'S JUST HIM
LIVING THERE.
I'M GOING
TO CALL FRANK.
SHE HASN'T LIKED HIM
SINCE HE TOOK EST.
WELL, WHAT ABOUT
MY OTHER BROTHERS,
WALTER OR CALVIN?
NOW, CALVIN OWES ME.
I PUT HIM

I'LL CALL CALVIN.

CARL, WE'RE TALKING

OKAY, FORGET THAT.
WHAT ABOUT THIS--
WE COULD MOVE TO MIAMI.
SHE HATES BUGS.
LET IT GO.

RACHEL SAID I COULD
TAKE CARE OF RICHIE.
I WANNA HOLD HIM.
YOU CAN

HERE, TAKE THIS WITH YOU.
YES, MAMA.
WHY WON'T YOUR PARENTS
LET YOU GO TO THE PARTY?
I DON'T KNOW.
WE'RE JUST GONNA WATCH
A RAMBO MARATHON.
THE PROBLEM IS
MY CURFEW'S AT 10:00.
THE FIRST MOVIE DOESN'T
START UNTIL 9:30.
WELL, THAT STINKS.
RAMBO WON'T EVEN
BLOW UP ANYBODY
TILL AFTER 10:00.
THAT'S WHAT I TOLD DAD.
YOU KNOW, HE'S FORGOTTEN
WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE 15.
I'LL HANDLE YOUR FATHER
AT DINNER.
YOUR GRANDMA'S GONNA FIGHT
FOR YOUR RIGHT TO PARTY.
LET'S GET
SOME APPLESAUCE.
APPLESAUCE.
OKAY, COME ON.
MMM.
YUM YUM YUM
YUM YUM YUM.
MMM.
WHEN SHALL I SEE
THE NEXT CHAPTER
OF YOUR NOVEL?
I'M DYING TO KNOW
WHAT HAPPENS.
SO AM I.
I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHO CHASTITY FALLS FOR.
WASN'T SHE
MARRYING THOMAS?
SHE WAS, BUT
I KILLED HIM OFF
IN CHAPTER SIX.
YOU'RE THE WRITER.
BRING HIM BACK.
I CAN'T.
HE WAS EATEN BY A SHARK.
IT'S HARD TO BOUNCE
BACK FROM THAT.
I KNOW YOU'RE
THE CREATIVE ONE
IN THE FAMILY,
BUT THE SHARK PART
IS STINKING UP YOUR BOOK.
THAT WAS SOME
OF MY BEST WRITING.
YOU LIKE THE SHARK PART,
DIDN'T YOU, SWEETHEART?
ARE WE EVER
GOING TO EAT?
MY DIGESTION'S
ABOUT TO SHUT DOWN.
IT WON'T BE LONG.
HOPE YOU LIKE MEAT LOAF.
NEVER HAVE
LIKED MEAT LOAF.
MAYBE YOURS IS DIFFERENT.
HAS IT GOT MEAT IN IT?
YEAH...OTHERWISE
WE'D JUST CALL IT LOAF.
I THINK
I WILL GO UPSTAIRS,
PUT MY LITTLE MAN TO BED,
AND CHANGE MY CLOTHES.
LET ME SEE HIM.
SAY GOODNIGHT.
THAT'S MAMA'S
LITTLE CHIPMUNK CHEEKS.
OH! YOU'RE FIXING
GREEN BEANS.
I LOVE GREEN BEANS.
I'M GLAD.
YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE
THE MUSHROOM SAUCE.
IT'S FROM
YOUR RECIPE.
CAN'T BE MY RECIPE.
MUSHROOMS GIVE ME GAS.
MOTHER WINSLOW,
YOU'VE HAD
A HARD DAY.
WE'VE ALL
HAD A HARD DAY.
WHY DON'T YOU GO
INTO THE LIVING ROOM
AND RELAX?
'CAUSE I'VE GOT ONE
NERVE LEFT, AND YOU'RE
LEANING ON IT.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
COME IN.
CAN I TALK TO YOU?
YOU'RE JUST THE PERSON
I WANTED TO SEE.
COME HERE AND SIT DOWN.
I'VE GOT A GREAT IDEA
FOR MY NEXT CHAPTER.
TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK.
CHASTITY FALL'S BACK
IN LOVE WITH THOMAS.
SHE CAN'T FALL IN LOVE
WITH THOMAS.
HE WAS EATEN BY A SHARK.
CHASTITY THOUGHT IT WAS,
BUT IT WAS SOMEONE ELSE.
IT HAD TO BE HIM.
WHEN THE SHARK SWAM AWAY,
CHASTITY WAS STILL
HOLDING HIS HAND
WITH THE DIAMOND
PINKY RING.
WHAT, YOU'VE NEVER HEARD
OF POETIC LICENSE?
I KNOW YOU'RE
THE CREATIVE ONE
IN THE FAMILY,
BUT THE SHARK PART
IS STINKING UP YOUR BOOK.
ALRIGHT, I'LL LOSE
THE SHARK PART.
WHAT DID YOU
WANT TO TALK ABOUT?
IS DADDY GOING
TO THROW GRANDMA OUT?
OH, HONEY,
COME HERE.
THERE'S NO WAY
YOUR DADDY'S GOING
TO THROW HER OUT.
HE'S GOT
TOO BIG A HEART.
REMEMBER WHEN YOUR
UNCLE ROBERT DIED,
AND I HAD TO TAKE
CARE OF THE BABY
ALL BY MYSELF?
YOUR DADDY ASKED ME
TO MOVE IN HERE, RIGHT?
IT WASN'T ALL PEACHES
AND CREAM AT FIRST.
WE ALL HAD TO MAKE
SOME ADJUSTMENTS.
THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING
WITH YOUR GRANDMA NOW.
EVERYONE IS MAKING
ADJUSTMENTS.
I HOPE THEY FINISH
ADJUSTING SOON.
IT'S GIVING ME A RASH.
HARRIETTE, MAMA'S
SITTING IN MY CHAIR.
DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
COMPLAINING ABOUT.
SHE INSULTED MY MEAT LOAF
BEFORE I EVEN TOOK IT
OUT OF THE OVEN.
THIS WAS A BAD IDEA,
A REAL BAD IDEA,
HARRIETTE.
IT YOU SAY,
"I TOLD YOU SO,"
AND YOU'LL BE WEARING
THIS MEAT LOAF.
I'M SORRY HONEY,
BUT WE'VE GOT TO EAT NOW
OR I WON'T BE REGULAR
FOR A WEEK.
SHE'S DOING IT
AGAIN, HARRIETTE.
SHE'S SITTING
IN MY CHAIR.
I'M SUPPOSED TO BE AT THE HEAD
OF THE TABLE.
LET IT GO. WE'LL BUY
A ROUND TABLE.
COME ON, LET'S EAT.
BOY, IT SMELLS GOOD.
WHY CAN'T I
CHANGE THE BABY?
HONEY, LAURA HAS
MORE EXPERIENCE.
GIVE IT TO HER
STRAIGHT.
YOU'RE TOO YOUNG AND SHORT.
THE BABY DOESN'T LIKE YOU.
DON'T ARGUE
AT THE DINNER TABLE.
OKAY, LET'S TAKE IT
OUTSIDE.
SIT DOWN.
I'M SORRY I'M LATE.
WOO! LOOKING GOOD.
WHAT ARE YOU
DRESSED UP FOR?
I THOUGHT SINCE IT WAS
GRANDMA'S FIRST DAY...
DINNER SHOULD BE SPECIAL.
HE'S SUCH A GOOD BOY.
CARL, YOU WANT
TO SAY GRACE?
LET US PRAY.
OH, LORD...
WE THANK YOU FOR THIS FOOD
AND YOUR MANY BLESSINGS.
AND WE ASK SIMPLY
THAT YOU DELIVER US
FROM EVIL...
EVEN IF IT WERE TO WALK
THROUGH OUR FRONT DOOR.
AMEN.
AMEN. AMEN.
SO, EDDIE, BIG PLANS
FOR TONIGHT, HUH?
I WAS GOING TO A PARTY,
BUT DAD WON'T LET ME.
YOUR FATHER'S GOT
YOUR BEST INTEREST
AT HEART.
THANK YOU, MAMA.
YOU SHOULDN'T GO
TO WILD PARTIES
WHERE THERE MAY BE
DRINKING, CAROUSING,
AND ALL.
THERE'S NOT GOING
TO BE ANY OF THAT--
JUST KIDS WATCHING TV
UNTIL REAL LATE.
WATCHING TV?
MM-HMM.
THAT'S IT?
MM-HMM.
I CAN'T GO BECAUSE
MY CURFEW'S AT 10:00.
10:00? YOU'VE GOT
TO BE KIDDING.
OH, CARL,
IT'S ALMOST THE NINETIES.
LIGHTEN UP.
LIGHTEN UP?
EDDIE, GO TO THAT PARTY
AND HAVE A GOOD TIME.
IN FRANCE,
15-YEAR-OLD BOYS CAN STAY OUT
AS LATE AS THEY LIKE.
WHEN HE'S IN FRANCE,
HE CAN, TOO,
BUT IN THIS COUNTRY HIS
CURFEW'S STILL 10:00.
AND THAT'S FINAL.
IT'S NOT FAIR!
I'M 15, AND YOU'RE
TREATING ME LIKE A KID!
EDWARD.
I'LL TALK
WITH HIM.
GIVE A MAN A BADGE.
WELL, I TALKED TO EDDIE.
HE SAID HE'S NOT
COMING OUT OF HIS ROOM
UNTIL HE'S 18
AND THEN HE'S
MOVING TO FRANCE.
WELL, NOW, THAT'S IT.
THIS IS ALL MY
MOTHER'S FAULT,
HARRIETTE.
THIS TIME SHE'S
GONE TOO FAR.
SHE'S GOT TO KNOW,
SHE CAN'T RUN THIS HOUSE.
AND SHE CAN'T
INTERFERE WITH THE WAY
WE RAISE OUR KIDS.
AND SHE'S GOT TO KNOW
THAT SHE CANNOT SIT
IN MY CHAIR.
YOU'RE RIGHT, CARL.
OH, I'M GLAD YOU AGREE,
SO NOW GO TELL HER.
ME? SHE'S YOUR MOTHER.
YOU'RE THE ONE THAT
TOLD HER SHE COULD MOVE IN.
SHE'S YOUR MOTHER.
BUT SHE LIKES YOU.
SHE'S YOUR MOTHER.
IS THAT ALL YOU GOT?
THAT'S ALL I NEED.
OH, ALRIGHT.
I'LL GO TALK TO HER.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
SHE'S OUT IN THE BACK PORCH.
I KNOW.
I'M GONNA GO TAKE
A LITTLE WALK
THINK ABOUT WHAT
I'M GONNA SAY TO HER.
YOU NEED ANYTHING FROM CANADA?
OH, MA.
HMM?
I SEE YOU'RE BUSY.
I'LL COME BACK.
YOU'LL HAVE A LONG WAIT.
THIS IS A RUG.
WHAT DO YOU WANT
TO TALK ABOUT?
WELL, MA, I DON'T
QUITE KNOW HOW
TO SAY THIS.
IT'S DELICATE,
AND I DON'T WANT
TO HURT YOUR FEELINGS.
GO AHEAD AND SAY
WHAT YOU'VE GOT TO SAY.
I'M NOT SENSITIVE.
I CAN TAKE IT.
OKAY.
MAMA, YOU'RE DRIVING ME
AND HARRIETTE CRAZY.
THAT'S IT.
I'M OUT OF HERE.
WAIT A MINUTE, MAMA.
SIT RIGHT HERE,
AND WE'LL WORK THIS OUT.
I KNOW IT'S
BEEN HARD FOR YOU
SINCE DAD DIED.
YOU HAD TO RAISE
FIVE SONS
AND WORK
AT THE SAME TIME.
YOU GOT USED
TO BEING IN CHARGE.
WHEN YOU CAME HERE
AND NATURALLY TOOK OVER.
I WAS JUST
TRYING TO HELP.
MOTHER, I KNOW
THAT YOU MEANT WELL,
BUT LOOK AT ME.
I AM NOT YOUR
LITTLE BOY ANYMORE.
I'M GROWN UP
WITH A FAMILY OF MY OWN.
I KNEW MOVING IN
WASN'T GOING TO BE
EASY FOR YOU.
I MUST ADMIT
I HAD MY DOUBTS,
BUT, MOTHER, I REALLY
WANT THIS TO WORK.
I WANT IT
TO WORK, TOO.
I'M RUNNING OUT
OF SONS.
BUT IF IT'S GOING
TO WORK, MA,
WE'VE ALL GOT TO MAKE
SOME ADJUSTMENTS.
LIKE WHAT?
ME AND HARRIETTE GOT TO BE ABLE
TO RUN OUR OWN HOUSE.
YOU'VE GOT TO RETIRE
FROM BEING IN CHARGE.
YOU CAN BE AN ADVISOR.
I'M A LITTLE OLD
FOR A CAREER CHANGE,
BUT I CAN TRY.
THANK YOU, MAMA.
IT WOULD HELP IF YOU TOLD
EDWARD YOU WERE OUT OF LINE
ABOUT HIS CURFEW.
I WASN'T OUT OF LINE
ABOUT THAT.
NOW, SPEAKING
AS YOUR ADVISOR...
IF EDDIE IS TO LEARN
RESPONSIBILITY,
YOU'VE GOT TO TRUST HIM.
MAYBE
YOU'RE RIGHT, MA.
I'LL GO TALK TO EDWARD.
I LOVE YOU, MAMA.
I LOVE YOU, TOO,
DARLING.
MY BABY.
OH, WELL, WHILE
YOU'RE TALKING
TO EDWARD,
I'LL GO APOLOGIZE
TO HARRIETTE.
AND TO SHOW HER
I'M SINCERE,
I'LL TRY
TO CHOKE DOWN
A PIECE OF
THAT MEAT LOAF.
DON'T GO
IN THE OTHER ROOM.
OH, MAN.
OH, YEAH.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
HEY, SON.
HI, DAD.
CAN I TALK TO YOU?
SURE.
FIRST, I WANT TO SAY
I APPRECIATE YOUR
GIVING UP YOUR ROOM
FOR YOUR GRANDMOTHER.
LIVING IN THE ATTIC
ISN'T THE GREATEST
THING.
WELL, IT HAS
ITS ADVANTAGES.
WELL, SON, ABOUT THIS
CURFEW THING, I...
WELL, I'VE BEEN
THINKING, AND...
THE TRUTH IS,
HOW ARE YOU GOING
TO LEARN RESPONSIBILITY
IF I DON'T START
LEARNING TO TRUST YOU.
OH, MY.
ANYWAY...
I'VE DECIDED TO
CHANGE YOUR CURFEW
TO 11:00.
THAT STILL MEANS
I CAN'T GO.
I'M GOING TO MAKE
THE EXCEPTION
JUST THIS ONCE.
YOU CAN GO TO THE PARTY.
DAD, THANKS!
SINCE WE'RE
GETTING ALONG SO WELL,
HOW ABOUT DOUBLING
MY ALLOWANCE?
DON'T PUSH IT, EDWARD.
[SINGING]
SOUNDS LIKE
EVERYONE'S GETTING
ALONG FOR A CHANGE.
I'D BETTER GO
BEFORE THEY
GET OVER IT.
I'LL JUST
TAKE THESE...
FOR MY NEXT
STAKEOUT.
