Rhoda (1974–1978): Season 1, Episode 7 - The Shower - full transcript
- MY NAME
IS RHODA MORGENSTERN.
I WAS BORN IN THE BRONX,
NEW YORK IN DECEMBER, 1941.
I'VE ALWAYS FELT
RESPONSIBLE FOR WORLD WAR II.
THE FIRST THING I REMEMBER
LIKING THAT LIKED ME
BACK WAS FOOD.
I HAD A BAD PUBERTY.
IT LASTED 17 YEARS.
I'M A HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE.
I WENT TO ART SCHOOL.
MY ENTRANCE EXAM WAS
ON A BOOK OF MATCHES.
I DECIDED TO MOVE OUT OF
THE HOUSE WHEN I WAS 24.
MY MOTHER STILL REFERS TO
THIS AS THE TIME I RAN AWAY
FROM HOME.
EVENTUALLY, I RAN TO
MINNEAPOLIS, WHERE IT'S COLD,
AND I FIGURED I'D KEEP BETTER.
NOW I'M BACK IN MANHATTAN.
NEW YORK, THIS IS
YOUR LAST CHANCE.
- DOES JOE LIKE WAFFLES?
- WHAT?
- DOES JOE LIKE WAFFLES?
- BRENDA, PLEASE STOP WORRYING
ABOUT MY WEDDING GIFT.
- I WASN'T WORRYING
ABOUT A GIFT.
I WAS THINKING ABOUT WAFFLES.
YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT I HAD IT
ALL SOLVED THIS AFTERNOON
BY GIVING YOU A SHOWER.
- BRENDA, NOW LISTEN TO ME.
SHOWERS ARE
FOR GIRLS YOUR AGE.
- YEAH.
BUT THE ONLY TROUBLE IS MOST
OF US DON'T GET MARRIED UNTIL
WE'RE YOUR AGE.
- BRENDA, LISTEN, I'LL
LOVE ANYTHING THAT YOU GIVE ME.
REALLY.
I LOVE THE FACT THAT YOU
CARE THIS MUCH ABOUT IT.
REALLY.
IT'S WONDERFUL.
IN FACT,
LET'S MAKE THAT YOUR GIFT TO
ME--THAT YOU CARE THIS MUCH.
I LOVE IT.
THANK YOU!
- HOW ABOUT A YOGURT MAKER?
I REALLY FEEL STUPID BOTHERING
YOU ABOUT THIS, BUT I'M IN IT
SO DEEP NOW IT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT I COME UP

YOU WANT ON YOUR CEREAL?
REGULAR, LOW FAT, NON-FAT?
- WHAT ARE YOU HAVING?
- CHOCOLATE.
- BRENDA.
- YOU KNOW WHAT I LIKE
ABOUT THE SHOWER IDEA?
EVEN IF IT WAS A ROTTEN
SHOWER, YOU KNOW, WE COULD
STILL HAVE A LOT OF FUN
TALKING ABOUT IT AFTERWARDS.
- YEAH,
BRENDA, NO, NO.
SHOWERS ARE NOT MY STYLE.
I'M TOO OLD TO GIGGLE.
- YOU'RE NEVER GOING
TO THINK OF ANYTHING.
- [SIGHS]
OK, MAYBE THE SHOWER
IS NOT SUCH A BAD IDEA.
- YEAH?
- EXCEPT I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN
BE GUEST OF HONOR AT AN AFFAIR
WHERE YOU KNOW EVERYBODY'S
TALKING ABOUT YOU.
- OH,
YOU'VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE!
- HAVE I?
- I MEAN, DARLING,
WHEN I HEARD RHODA WAS
GETTING MARRIED--
- I SCREAMED SO LOUDLY--
- THAT MY HUSBAND RUSHED RIGHT
IN FROM THE NEW DRY HEAT SAUNA
AND SAID, "HELEN, DON'T
TELL ME RHODA MORGENSTERN
IS GETTING MARRIED."
- WELL,
MY DEAR, YOU COULD HAVE
KNOCKED ME OVER
WITH A PAPER TOWEL.
I MEAN, THAT GIRL.

SHE'S 33 YEARS OLD AND
THIS IS HER FIRST TIME
AROUND THE TRACK.

RHODA, I'M TAKING PICTURES

THAT'S GREAT.
OK, NOW YOU.
WHERE DID YOU FIND PEOPLE
TO INVITE TO THIS EVENT?
COME ON, COME CLEAN.
- OK,

I GOT YOUR HIGH
SCHOOL YEARBOOK.
I SENT OUT INVITATIONS TO ALL
THE GIRLS WHO WROTE IN IT.
48 OF THEM.
- MY HIGH SCHOOL YEARBOOK!
- YEAH.
RHODA, YOU KNOW, I NEVER KNEW
THAT YOU WERE IN THE CHOIR.
- OH,
I NEVER WAS, I JUST WORE
THE ROBE FOR FOUR YEARS SO
NOBODY COULD SEE MY HIPS.
48 INVITATIONS, HUH?
HEY, HOW MANY ARE COMING?
NO, NO, LET ME GUESS.
SEVEN.
- NO, FIVE.
- THE TWINS
COULDN'T MAKE IT, HUH?
- NO.
[DOOR BUZZER]
- HELLO.
- THIS IS CARLTON, YOUR
DOORMAN SPEAKING FROM THE--
- THE LOBBY?
- YES.
YEAH, THERE'S
A LADY DOWN HERE.
SHE SAYS SHE'S FROM HIGH
SCHOOL, BUT SHE LOOKS LIKE
SHE'S GOT QUITE
A FEW MILES ON HER.
- WELL, SEND HER UP.
- I'LL TRY.
- LISTEN, BRENDA,
I GOTTA KNOW WHO'S COMING.
- WHY?
- BECAUSE THEN WHEN I SAY,
"OH, YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED
A BIT," I'LL KNOW
WHO I'M LYING TO.
- WELL, THERE'S
JEANETTE LAMONT.
- OH, JEANETTE!
OH, THAT'S TERRIFIC!
I LOVE HER!
I REMEMBER WE USED TO
PRACTICE SMOKING TOGETHER.
- AND SUSAN ALBORN.
- OH, OLD LAZY SUZIE.
- REMEMBER HER?
- OH, YEAH, OH, YEAH.
- MYRNA MORGENSTEIN.
- OH,
MY LITTLE FRIEND FROM
ALPHABETICAL ORDER.
- YEAH.
AND LINDA MONROE
AND HARRIET STRONGAN.
- WAIT A MINUTE.
DID YOU SAY LINDA MONROE?
- YEAH!
- NO, NO.
- WELL, WHAT?
IS SOMETHING WRONG?
- OH,
WELL, NOT REALLY.
LISTEN, IT'S BEEN
15 YEARS, RIGHT?
MAYBE SHE'S CHANGED.
- WE THOUGHT THAT SHE
WAS A FRIEND OF YOURS.
- NO.
- YEAH,
SHE IN YOUR BOOK, "GOOD LUCK
WITH CHUCK.
LOVE YOU FOREVER."
- OH,
YEAH, AFTER SHE WROTE THAT,
SHE TOLD CHUCK THAT I DIDN'T GO
IN FOR HEAVY PETTING AND HE
DROPPED ME.
- WHAT WAS CONSIDERED HEAVY
PETTING IN THOSE DAYS?
- OH,
WHEN YOU CAME HOME WITH LESS
ANGORA THAN YOU STARTED WITH.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
- HERE WE GO.
- RHODA?
RHODA MORGENSTERN?
- MYRNA?
MYRNA MORGENSTEIN?
OH, HI THERE.
- I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU.
I MEAN,
I WAS HAPPY AT THE OTHER 79
SHOWERS I WENT TO FOR OUR
CLASS, BUT NOT AS HAPPY AS
I AM FOR YOU BECAUSE
YOU'RE THE LAST ONE.
- MYRNA,
I WANT YOU TO MEET MY SISTER
BRENDA, AND THIS IS
HER FRIEND ELLEN.
- NICE TO MEET YOU.
- SAME HERE.
- OH,
MYRNA, I REMEMBER BACK
IN SCHOOL WHEN HE USED TO
CALL ROLL, EVERYBODY WOULD SAY
"HERE," EXCEPT YOU.
YOU ALWAYS SAID "PRESENT."
- THAT--THAT WAS MY ONLY
WAY OF BEING DIFFERENT.
I WAS VERY SHY BACK THEN.
- SO, MYRNA,
TELL ME, WHAT DID YOU DO
AFTER GRADUATION?
- I WENT RIGHT HOME.
- WHAT I MEANT WAS,
YOU KNOW, LATER.
I MEAN, WHAT'S GOING
ON IN YOUR LIFE?
- OH,
WELL, I'M REALLY DOING FINE.
YOU REMEMBER HOW MUCH FUN
WE HAD IN HIGH SCHOOL, RHODA?
- OH, YEAH.
- YEAH, THOSE WERE THE
HAPPIEST DAYS OF MY LIFE.
I'LL NEVER TOP THEM.
- IT'S TOO BAD YOU CAN'T
CLING TO HIGH SCHOOL.
- YES, YOU CAN, AND
I FIGURED OUT HOW.
YOU SEE, I BECAME ALUMNI
SECRETARY FOR OUR OLD CLASS.
IN FACT,
I'VE CAN SAFELY SAY THAT
I LOVE THE CLASS OF '59
MORE THAN I LOVE MY CAT.
- YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED, MYRNA.
YOU ALWAYS LIKED CATS.
- NO,
I ALWAYS HAD CATS.
I NEVER LIKED THEM.
- WELL,
ARE YOU MARRIED?
- LIKE 11% OF OUR
CLASS, I'M NOT.
- HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?
- WELL, YOU SEE,
AS ALUMNI SECRETARY I HAVE
TO KEEP UP TO DATE.
YEAH, 89% OF OUR
CLASS IS MARRIED.
THERE ARE 275 CHILDREN
AND 38 DIVORCES.
- NO KIDDING!
THANKS, BRENDA.
- BUT HERE'S THE BIGGEST
SURPRISE OF ALL--NOBODY
IN THE CLASS OF '59 HAS DIED.
- WE DID HAVE
A GREAT HYGIENE TEACHER.
- WE SURE DID.
MAY SHE REST IN PEACE.
- SO,
MYRNA, TELL ME, YOU MIGHT
KNOW, HOW IS
LINDA MONROE DOING?
- IT'S HARD FOR ME
TO TELL YOU THIS, RHODA.
BUT SHE DID GREAT.
- HOW NICE!
- I ADMIRE HOW WELL YOU'RE
PRETENDING TO TAKE IT.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
- RHODA.
IT'S SUSIE!
OH, LOOK AT YOU.
- OH,
RHODA, YOU MUST HAVE SOME
GREAT DIET.
YOU DON'T EVEN SHOW.
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
- HOW FAR ALONG ARE YOU?
- HOW FAR ALONG?
- YEAH.
- OH, SUSIE, THIS
IS A BRIDAL SHOWER.
- A BRIDAL SHOWER!
- YEAH.
[LAUGHTER]
- OH, SHOOT.
I BROUGHT YOU DIAPERS
AND A TEETHING RING.
SEE, I FIGURED THAT--
- I KNOW, I KNOW.
IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT
SOMEBODY MY AGE IS JUST NOW
GETTING MARRIED.
I FIGURED BETTER LATE
THAN NEVER, RIGHT?
- SOMETIMES I THINK
NEVER IS BETTER.
THIS IS NUMBER FIVE.
- OH,
SUSIE, THEN YOU'RE GONNA NEED
THESE BEFORE I DO, PLEASE.
- AH,
RHODA, WHAT KIND OF BIRTH
CONTROL ARE YOU USING?
- OH, THE PILL.
- THAT'S WHAT I USED!
- MYRNA, YOU HERE?
- PRESENT.
IT'S SURE BEEN
A LONG TIME, SUSIE.
- OH,
IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU.
WHOO, WAIT! NO.
- NO?
- MYRNA, I HAVEN'T
SEEN YOU IN 15 YEARS.
- HOW ARE TIMOTHY, PATRICK,
GAIL, AND ANDREW?
- MYRNA, HOW DO YOU KNOW--
- OH,
LISTEN, I KEEP UP TO DATE.
I'M JUST SORRY I DIDN'T SEND
A NOTE LAST MONTH WHEN TIMOTHY
GOT HIS SWIMMING CERTIFICATE.
- THAT'S OK.
- SUSIE.
- YEAH.
- THIS IS MY SISTER BRENDA.
- HELLO.
- AND HER FRIEND ELLEN.
- YEAH.
PARDON US FOR NOT RISING.
- SO,
SUSAN, WHEN'S THE HAPPY DAY?
- NINE MONTHS AGO.
- ARE YOU GONNA HAVE
NATURAL CHILDBIRTH?
- NO, NO.
I HAD IT WITH THE FIRST THREE.
I LOST INTEREST
IN THE MIRACLE OF BIRTH.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
- RHODA.
- JEANETTE.
- HOW ARE YOU?
- JEANETTE LAMONT!
OH, OF ALL THE PEOPLE!
I'M SO GLAD YOU COULD COME!
- LISTEN, I WOULDN'T DO
THIS FOR ANYBODY ELSE.
BUT IF I DON'T DO IT FOR MY
BEST FRIEND FROM HIGH SCHOOL,
WHO WILL I DO IT FOR?
NOWADAYS MY BEST FRIENDS ARE
PEOPLE I DON'T EVEN LIKE.
- SOME OF THE GIRLS ARE
ALREADY HERE, JEANETTE.
- SUSIE, HI!
- OH,
HERE, GIVE ME THAT.
THAT'S MINE.
THE SAME.
AH, HELLO.
CAN I HELP YOU?
- HELLO.
I'M HARRIET STRONGAN
FROM THE BRONX AND I GOT
YOUR INVITATION.
- UH-HUH.
- DO WE KNOW EACH OTHER?
- SEE,
THIS PARTY IS FOR PEOPLE THAT
I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL
WITH IN 1959.
- 1959?
THAT'S THE YEAR I RETIRED.
- FROM WHAT?
- EVERYTHING.
- THERE WAS ONLY ONE HARRIET
STRONGAN IN THE PHONE BOOK,
SO I SENT HER THE INVITATION.
I MADE A MISTAKE.
- WELL,
I'M SORRY WE GOT YOU
HERE FOR NOTHING.
- YOU'RE HAVING CAKE.
I LOVE CAKE.
- HEY, WOULD YA--
WOULD YOU LIKE TO STAY?
PLEASE STAY.
- OH,
WELL, THANK YOU.
AND YOU CAN KEEP THE GIFT.
IT'S A LAVENDER SACHET.
I HOPE THAT MEN STILL LIKE
THE SMELL OF LAVENDER.
TOO MANY THINGS
ARE UNSCENTED TODAY.
- RHODA,
I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW
WONDERFUL YOU LOOK.
- OH,
JEANETTE, LOOK WHO'S TALKING.
YOU LOOK ABSOLUTELY MARVELOUS.
- THANKS.
I JOG FIVE MILES EVERY DAY,
EAT ONLY ORGANIC FOODS,
AND HAVE SEX ON
A REGULAR BASIS.
EVERYTHING'S BEEN JUST
GREAT SINCE MY DIVORCE.
[DOOR BUZZER]
- YELLO!
- HELLO, THIS IS CARLTON,
YOUR DOORMAN.
- OH,
HIYA, CARLTON, OLD BUDDY.
- HEY,
HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKING?
- WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT?
- 'CAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME
I CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT
YOU'RE SAYING.
- WELL,
WHAT DO YOU NEED, PAL?
- THERE'S A LADY DOWN
HERE TO SEE YA.
- WHO?
- I DON'T KNOW, BUT SHE'S
WEARING A BLACK HAT.
- EITHER LINDA OR BILLIE JACK.
- HEY,
RHODA, YOU KNOW, I'M SORRY
I INVITED THIS PERSON
WHO BOTHERS YOU SO MUCH,
BUT I DIDN'T KNOW.
- OH, BRENDA,
I KNOW YOU DIDN'T KNOW.
- I SHOULD HAVE
GOTTEN A WAFFLE IRON.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
- HERE.
- HELLO, RHODA.
- HI, LINDA.
GEE, IT'S NICE TO SEE YA.
- IT IS?
- YEAH.
- IT'S NICE?
- WELL,
YEAH, IT'S NICE.
- HERE'S A LITTLE
SOMETHING FOR YOU.
- OH,
THANK YOU, LINDA.
- OH, RHODA.
LET ME LOOK AT YOU.
- COME ON, LINDA, DON'T--
- I SAID, LET ME LOOK AT YOU.
- SURE,
OF COURSE, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU
WERE THAT SERIOUS.
- MY, MY, MY!
YOU MUST BE SO PROUD OF WHAT
YOU'VE DONE TO YOURSELF.
RHODA, IT'S AMAZING!
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY ATTRACTIVE.
- WELL,
YOU KNOW, LINDA, IT'S LIKE--
- CHAMPAGNE, LINDA?
- WHO'S THIS?
- NOBODY, NOTHING, IT DOESN'T
MATTER, JUST A RELATIVE.
- THAT'S MY SISTER.
- OH.
HERE, DARLING, TAKE
THIS, WILL YOU?
AND PUT IT
SOMEWHERE SAFE, HUH?
- SURE.
I'LL PUT IT IN THE FUR ROOM.
- OH,
WILL YOU LOOK WHO'S HERE!
HIGH SCHOOL!
HI, SWEET, MYRNA,
HOW LOVELY TO SEE YOU!
- YOU LOOK PRETTY GOOD, KIDDO.
- HELLO, HELLO.
AH, SUSIE, I HAVEN'T SEEN
YOU SINCE GRADUATION!
YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED A BIT.
HOW MANY IS THIS?
- THIS IS FIVE.
- YOU OUGHT TO TAKE THAT
HUSBAND OF YOURS AND CHAIN HIM
TO THE KITCHEN SINK.
- AH,
IT WOULDN'T HELP.
HE'D GET ME WHILE
I WAS DOING THE DISHES.
- OH.
IS--IS THIS--IS THIS
MISS ANDERSON?
- MISS ANDERSON?
- MISS ANDERSON,
OUR HYGIENE TEACHER.
- MISS ANDERSON DIED.
- I'M TERRIBLY SORRY.
- HEY,
GUYS, YOU KNOW IT'S REALLY
HARD TO GET A GROUP OF ALUMNI
TOGETHER, SO IF YOU JUST FILL
ME IN ON WHAT YOU'VE ALL
BEEN DOING, I'LL PUT IT
IN THE NEWSLETTER.
- CERTAINLY, TERRIFIC!
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW?
- EVERYTHING.
- BRENDA, I NEED
A LOT MORE CHAMPAGNE.
- AH,
HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU HAVE?
- MY, WHAT A FUN QUESTION!
- WE HEARD YOU WERE RICH.
- WELL, RICH, RICH
IS A RELATIVE TERM.
IT ALL DEPENDS WHAT
YOU CONSIDER RICH.
I DON'T CONSIDER MYSELF RICH.
IT ALL DEPENDS
WHAT YOU CALL RICH.
WHAT DO YOU CALL RICH?
- OVER $2 MILLION.
- THEN I'M RICH.
- MATTER OF FACT,
IF YOU CONSIDER 3 MILLION
RICH, THEN I'D STILL BE RICH.
- I DON'T BELIEVE IT!
- $3 MILLION!
- WHAT DO YOU SAY?
- ALL RIGHT.
- THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
IT WASN'T EASY.
DON'T FORGET, 1959, THERE
WEREN'T AS MANY OPPORTUNITIES
FOR WOMEN AS THERE ARE TODAY.
I HAD TO DO IT THE HARD WAY.
I MARRIED MONEY.
BUT WE'RE HERE TO CELEBRATE
RHODA'S WEDDING, RIGHT?
RHODA'S WEDDING.
TO RHODA!
- HA HA.
- OH.
SO, RHODA, WHAT'S
HE LIKE, HUH?
- I'LL SHOW HER
THE PICTURE, RHODA.
- NO, I DON'T THINK
ANYBODY WOULD WANT--
- SHOW ME THE PICTURE!
- SHOW HER THE PICTURE.
- CUTE.
- CUTE.
- CUTE.
- YUM.
- OH,
HIS NOSE IS BROKEN?
SO...
HUH? HA HA HA.
REMEMBER WHEN WE BOTH TRIED
OUT FOR CHEERLEADER AND YOU
DIDN'T MAKE IT BECAUSE
YOU COULDN'T "BOOMALACKA"?
- I NEVER TRIED OUT
FOR CHEERLEADER.
- YOU MOST CERTAINLY DID.
- NO, I DIDN'T.
- I REMEMBER IT DISTINCTLY.
- IF YOU REMEMBER IT,
I GUESS I MUST HAVE.
- RHODA!
WOULD YOU LIKE
SOMETHING TO EAT?
- NO,
DARLING, THANK YOU.
I'M SAVING MY APPETITE.
MY HUSBAND AND I ARE GOING
TO A REALLY WONDERFUL PLACE
FOR DINNER.
- THIS IS WONDERFUL.
I TRIMMED THE FAT.
- SPEAKING OF
TRIMMING THE FAT...
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
[CLICK CLICK]
- LINDA?
- YES, DARLING.
- COULD I PLEASE, PLEASE
SEE YOU FOR A MINUTE?
- OF COURSE.
- EXCUSE ME.
- THANK YOU.
- WHAT?
- GET OUTTA HERE.
- IS IT TOO MUCH CHEAP
CHAMPAGNE, RHODA?
- YOU HAVE 20 SECONDS TO GO.
- IS IT JEALOUSY?
IS THAT WHAT IT IS, RHODA?
- 15 SECONDS, LINDA.
- I THINK I'LL STAY A WHILE.
- NO,
LISTEN, I'M NOT GONNA BACK
DOWN THIS TIME.
NOT THIS TIME.
- WHAT CAN YOU DO?
- I CAN TELL EVERYBODY IN
THIS ROOM THAT IN THREE YEARS
YOU DIDN'T TAKE YOUR GYM
SUIT HOME TO BE WASHED.
- I HAVE TO GO NOW.
- OH!
- IT'S WONDERFUL TO SEE YOU.
- SAME HERE.
- TAKE CARE.
- AND YOU, SWEETHEART.
LOVELY TO SEE YOU.
NO, I JUST DROPPED BY TO
WISH RHODA WELL AND GIVE
HER A GIFT.
WHO AM I KIDDING?
RHODA ASKED ME TO LEAVE.
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A LITTLE
PUSHY, A LITTLE AGGRESSIVE
WITH RHODA.
AND, TODAY, FOR THE FIRST
TIME, RHODA HAD THE GUTS
TO CONFRONT ME.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO--I WOULD--
I'M TAKING MY GIFT BACK.
- YOU KNOW WHAT?
SHE TOOK MY LAVENDER SACHET.
[LAUGHTER]
- SO AREN'T YOU GONNA
WATCH ME OPEN LINDA'S GIFT?
- IS IT TICKING?
- IT'S FROM TIFFANY'S.
- WELL, IT COULD BE
A STERLING SILVER BOMB.
- HEY,
SILVER ICE TONGS.
- OH. VERY CLASSY.
SILVER ICE TONGS.
DON'T GET YOUR HANDS COLD.
- I'LL HAVE TO USE THESE
THE NEXT TIME I SHAKE HANDS
WITH LINDA.
BRENDA, THANK YOU FOR
A WONDERFUL SHOWER, REALLY.
- YEAH?
- YEAH.
- RHO,
I JUST WANNA TALK TO
YOU ABOUT ONE THING.
- SURE.
- YOU REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE
TAKING ALL THAT STUFF FROM
LINDA WHEN SHE WAS
LAYING IT ON YOU?
- YEAH.
- AND THE ONLY TIME YOU SPOKE
UP WAS WHEN SHE STARTED
- TO PUT ME DOWN?
- YEAH.
- WELL, I JUST WANTED
YOU TO KNOW THAT--
- I KNOW, THAT YOU'RE 21
YEARS OLD AND YOU'RE PERFECTLY
CAPABLE OF TAKING
CARE OF YOURSELF.
- NO,
THAT I CAN USE ALL THE HELP
I CAN GET. THANKS.

YOU REMEMBER HOW MUCH FUN
WE HAD IN HIGH SCHOOL, RHODA?
- OH, YEAH.
- YEAH, THOSE WERE THE
HAPPIEST DAYS OF MY LIFE.
I'LL NEVER TOP THEM.
- IT'S TOO BAD YOU CAN'T
CLING TO HIGH SCHOOL.
- YES, YOU CAN, AND
I FIGURED OUT HOW.
YOU SEE, I BECAME ALUMNI
SECRETARY FOR OUR OLD CLASS.
IN FACT,
I'VE CAN SAFELY SAY THAT
I LOVE THE CLASS OF '59
MORE THAN I LOVE MY CAT.
- YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED, MYRNA.
YOU ALWAYS LIKED CATS.
- NO,
I ALWAYS HAD CATS.
I NEVER LIKED THEM.
- WELL,
ARE YOU MARRIED?
- LIKE 11% OF OUR
CLASS, I'M NOT.
- HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?
- WELL, YOU SEE,
AS ALUMNI SECRETARY I HAVE
TO KEEP UP TO DATE.
YEAH, 89% OF OUR
CLASS IS MARRIED.
THERE ARE 275 CHILDREN
AND 38 DIVORCES.
- NO KIDDING!
THANKS, BRENDA.
- BUT HERE'S THE BIGGEST
SURPRISE OF ALL--NOBODY
IN THE CLASS OF '59 HAS DIED.
- WE DID HAVE
A GREAT HYGIENE TEACHER.
- WE SURE DID.
MAY SHE REST IN PEACE.
- SO,
MYRNA, TELL ME, YOU MIGHT
KNOW, HOW IS
LINDA MONROE DOING?
- IT'S HARD FOR ME
TO TELL YOU THIS, RHODA.
BUT SHE DID GREAT.
- HOW NICE!
- I ADMIRE HOW WELL YOU'RE
PRETENDING TO TAKE IT.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
- RHODA.
IT'S SUSIE!
OH, LOOK AT YOU.
- OH,
RHODA, YOU MUST HAVE SOME
GREAT DIET.
YOU DON'T EVEN SHOW.
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
- HOW FAR ALONG ARE YOU?
- HOW FAR ALONG?
- YEAH.
- OH, SUSIE, THIS
IS A BRIDAL SHOWER.
- A BRIDAL SHOWER!
- YEAH.
[LAUGHTER]
- OH, SHOOT.
I BROUGHT YOU DIAPERS
AND A TEETHING RING.
SEE, I FIGURED THAT--
- I KNOW, I KNOW.
IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT
SOMEBODY MY AGE IS JUST NOW
GETTING MARRIED.
I FIGURED BETTER LATE
THAN NEVER, RIGHT?
- SOMETIMES I THINK
NEVER IS BETTER.
THIS IS NUMBER FIVE.
- OH,
SUSIE, THEN YOU'RE GONNA NEED
THESE BEFORE I DO, PLEASE.
- AH,
RHODA, WHAT KIND OF BIRTH
CONTROL ARE YOU USING?
- OH, THE PILL.
- THAT'S WHAT I USED!
- MYRNA, YOU HERE?
- PRESENT.
IT'S SURE BEEN
A LONG TIME, SUSIE.
- OH,
IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU.
WHOO, WAIT! NO.
- NO?
- MYRNA, I HAVEN'T
SEEN YOU IN 15 YEARS.
- HOW ARE TIMOTHY, PATRICK,
GAIL, AND ANDREW?
- MYRNA, HOW DO YOU KNOW--
- OH,
LISTEN, I KEEP UP TO DATE.
I'M JUST SORRY I DIDN'T SEND
A NOTE LAST MONTH WHEN TIMOTHY
GOT HIS SWIMMING CERTIFICATE.
- THAT'S OK.
- SUSIE.
- YEAH.
- THIS IS MY SISTER BRENDA.
- HELLO.
- AND HER FRIEND ELLEN.
- YEAH.
PARDON US FOR NOT RISING.
- SO,
SUSAN, WHEN'S THE HAPPY DAY?
- NINE MONTHS AGO.
- ARE YOU GONNA HAVE
NATURAL CHILDBIRTH?
- NO, NO.
I HAD IT WITH THE FIRST THREE.
I LOST INTEREST
IN THE MIRACLE OF BIRTH.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
- RHODA.
- JEANETTE.
- HOW ARE YOU?
- JEANETTE LAMONT!
OH, OF ALL THE PEOPLE!
I'M SO GLAD YOU COULD COME!
- LISTEN, I WOULDN'T DO
THIS FOR ANYBODY ELSE.
BUT IF I DON'T DO IT FOR MY
BEST FRIEND FROM HIGH SCHOOL,
WHO WILL I DO IT FOR?
NOWADAYS MY BEST FRIENDS ARE
PEOPLE I DON'T EVEN LIKE.
- SOME OF THE GIRLS ARE
ALREADY HERE, JEANETTE.
- SUSIE, HI!
- OH,
HERE, GIVE ME THAT.
THAT'S MINE.
THE SAME.
AH, HELLO.
CAN I HELP YOU?
- HELLO.
I'M HARRIET STRONGAN
FROM THE BRONX AND I GOT
YOUR INVITATION.
- UH-HUH.
- DO WE KNOW EACH OTHER?
- SEE,
THIS PARTY IS FOR PEOPLE THAT
I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL
WITH IN 1959.
- 1959?
THAT'S THE YEAR I RETIRED.
- FROM WHAT?
- EVERYTHING.
- THERE WAS ONLY ONE HARRIET
STRONGAN IN THE PHONE BOOK,
SO I SENT HER THE INVITATION.
I MADE A MISTAKE.
- WELL,
I'M SORRY WE GOT YOU
HERE FOR NOTHING.
- YOU'RE HAVING CAKE.
I LOVE CAKE.
- HEY, WOULD YA--
WOULD YOU LIKE TO STAY?
PLEASE STAY.
- OH,
WELL, THANK YOU.
AND YOU CAN KEEP THE GIFT.
IT'S A LAVENDER SACHET.
I HOPE THAT MEN STILL LIKE
THE SMELL OF LAVENDER.
TOO MANY THINGS
ARE UNSCENTED TODAY.
- RHODA,
I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW
WONDERFUL YOU LOOK.
- OH,
JEANETTE, LOOK WHO'S TALKING.
YOU LOOK ABSOLUTELY MARVELOUS.
- THANKS.
I JOG FIVE MILES EVERY DAY,
EAT ONLY ORGANIC FOODS,
AND HAVE SEX ON
A REGULAR BASIS.
EVERYTHING'S BEEN JUST
GREAT SINCE MY DIVORCE.
[DOOR BUZZER]
- YELLO!
- HELLO, THIS IS CARLTON,
YOUR DOORMAN.
- OH,
HIYA, CARLTON, OLD BUDDY.
- HEY,
HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKING?
- WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT?
- 'CAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME
I CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT
YOU'RE SAYING.
- WELL,
WHAT DO YOU NEED, PAL?
- THERE'S A LADY DOWN
HERE TO SEE YA.
- WHO?
- I DON'T KNOW, BUT SHE'S
WEARING A BLACK HAT.
- EITHER LINDA OR BILLIE JACK.
- HEY,
RHODA, YOU KNOW, I'M SORRY
I INVITED THIS PERSON
WHO BOTHERS YOU SO MUCH,
BUT I DIDN'T KNOW.
- OH, BRENDA,
I KNOW YOU DIDN'T KNOW.
- I SHOULD HAVE
GOTTEN A WAFFLE IRON.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
- HERE.
- HELLO, RHODA.
- HI, LINDA.
GEE, IT'S NICE TO SEE YA.
- IT IS?
- YEAH.
- IT'S NICE?
- WELL,
YEAH, IT'S NICE.
- HERE'S A LITTLE
SOMETHING FOR YOU.
- OH,
THANK YOU, LINDA.
- OH, RHODA.
LET ME LOOK AT YOU.
- COME ON, LINDA, DON'T--
- I SAID, LET ME LOOK AT YOU.
- SURE,
OF COURSE, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU
WERE THAT SERIOUS.
- MY, MY, MY!
YOU MUST BE SO PROUD OF WHAT
YOU'VE DONE TO YOURSELF.
RHODA, IT'S AMAZING!
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY ATTRACTIVE.
- WELL,
YOU KNOW, LINDA, IT'S LIKE--
- CHAMPAGNE, LINDA?
- WHO'S THIS?
- NOBODY, NOTHING, IT DOESN'T
MATTER, JUST A RELATIVE.
- THAT'S MY SISTER.
- OH.
HERE, DARLING, TAKE
THIS, WILL YOU?
AND PUT IT
SOMEWHERE SAFE, HUH?
- SURE.
I'LL PUT IT IN THE FUR ROOM.
- OH,
WILL YOU LOOK WHO'S HERE!
HIGH SCHOOL!
HI, SWEET, MYRNA,
HOW LOVELY TO SEE YOU!
- YOU LOOK PRETTY GOOD, KIDDO.
- HELLO, HELLO.
AH, SUSIE, I HAVEN'T SEEN
YOU SINCE GRADUATION!
YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED A BIT.
HOW MANY IS THIS?
- THIS IS FIVE.
- YOU OUGHT TO TAKE THAT
HUSBAND OF YOURS AND CHAIN HIM
TO THE KITCHEN SINK.
- AH,
IT WOULDN'T HELP.
HE'D GET ME WHILE
I WAS DOING THE DISHES.
- OH.
IS--IS THIS--IS THIS
MISS ANDERSON?
- MISS ANDERSON?
- MISS ANDERSON,
OUR HYGIENE TEACHER.
- MISS ANDERSON DIED.
- I'M TERRIBLY SORRY.
- HEY,
GUYS, YOU KNOW IT'S REALLY
HARD TO GET A GROUP OF ALUMNI
TOGETHER, SO IF YOU JUST FILL
ME IN ON WHAT YOU'VE ALL
BEEN DOING, I'LL PUT IT
IN THE NEWSLETTER.
- CERTAINLY, TERRIFIC!
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW?
- EVERYTHING.
- BRENDA, I NEED
A LOT MORE CHAMPAGNE.
- AH,
HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU HAVE?
- MY, WHAT A FUN QUESTION!
- WE HEARD YOU WERE RICH.
- WELL, RICH, RICH
IS A RELATIVE TERM.
IT ALL DEPENDS WHAT
YOU CONSIDER RICH.
I DON'T CONSIDER MYSELF RICH.
IT ALL DEPENDS
WHAT YOU CALL RICH.
WHAT DO YOU CALL RICH?
- OVER $2 MILLION.
- THEN I'M RICH.
- MATTER OF FACT,
IF YOU CONSIDER 3 MILLION
RICH, THEN I'D STILL BE RICH.
- I DON'T BELIEVE IT!
- $3 MILLION!
- WHAT DO YOU SAY?
- ALL RIGHT.
- THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
IT WASN'T EASY.
DON'T FORGET, 1959, THERE
WEREN'T AS MANY OPPORTUNITIES
FOR WOMEN AS THERE ARE TODAY.
I HAD TO DO IT THE HARD WAY.
I MARRIED MONEY.
BUT WE'RE HERE TO CELEBRATE
RHODA'S WEDDING, RIGHT?
RHODA'S WEDDING.
TO RHODA!
- HA HA.
- OH.
SO, RHODA, WHAT'S
HE LIKE, HUH?
- I'LL SHOW HER
THE PICTURE, RHODA.
- NO, I DON'T THINK
ANYBODY WOULD WANT--
- SHOW ME THE PICTURE!
- SHOW HER THE PICTURE.
- CUTE.
- CUTE.
- CUTE.
- YUM.
- OH,
HIS NOSE IS BROKEN?
SO...
HUH? HA HA HA.
REMEMBER WHEN WE BOTH TRIED
OUT FOR CHEERLEADER AND YOU
DIDN'T MAKE IT BECAUSE
YOU COULDN'T "BOOMALACKA"?
- I NEVER TRIED OUT
FOR CHEERLEADER.
- YOU MOST CERTAINLY DID.
- NO, I DIDN'T.
- I REMEMBER IT DISTINCTLY.
- IF YOU REMEMBER IT,
I GUESS I MUST HAVE.
- RHODA!
WOULD YOU LIKE
SOMETHING TO EAT?
- NO,
DARLING, THANK YOU.
I'M SAVING MY APPETITE.
MY HUSBAND AND I ARE GOING
TO A REALLY WONDERFUL PLACE
FOR DINNER.
- THIS IS WONDERFUL.
I TRIMMED THE FAT.
- SPEAKING OF
TRIMMING THE FAT...
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
[CLICK CLICK]
- LINDA?
- YES, DARLING.
- COULD I PLEASE, PLEASE
SEE YOU FOR A MINUTE?
- OF COURSE.
- EXCUSE ME.
- THANK YOU.
- WHAT?
- GET OUTTA HERE.
- IS IT TOO MUCH CHEAP
CHAMPAGNE, RHODA?
- YOU HAVE 20 SECONDS TO GO.
- IS IT JEALOUSY?
IS THAT WHAT IT IS, RHODA?
- 15 SECONDS, LINDA.
- I THINK I'LL STAY A WHILE.
- NO,
LISTEN, I'M NOT GONNA BACK
DOWN THIS TIME.
NOT THIS TIME.
- WHAT CAN YOU DO?
- I CAN TELL EVERYBODY IN
THIS ROOM THAT IN THREE YEARS
YOU DIDN'T TAKE YOUR GYM
SUIT HOME TO BE WASHED.
- I HAVE TO GO NOW.
- OH!
- IT'S WONDERFUL TO SEE YOU.
- SAME HERE.
- TAKE CARE.
- AND YOU, SWEETHEART.
LOVELY TO SEE YOU.
NO, I JUST DROPPED BY TO
WISH RHODA WELL AND GIVE
HER A GIFT.
WHO AM I KIDDING?
RHODA ASKED ME TO LEAVE.
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A LITTLE
PUSHY, A LITTLE AGGRESSIVE
WITH RHODA.
AND, TODAY, FOR THE FIRST
TIME, RHODA HAD THE GUTS
TO CONFRONT ME.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO--I WOULD--
I'M TAKING MY GIFT BACK.
- YOU KNOW WHAT?
SHE TOOK MY LAVENDER SACHET.
[LAUGHTER]
- SO AREN'T YOU GONNA
WATCH ME OPEN LINDA'S GIFT?
- IS IT TICKING?
- IT'S FROM TIFFANY'S.
- WELL, IT COULD BE
A STERLING SILVER BOMB.
- HEY,
SILVER ICE TONGS.
- OH. VERY CLASSY.
SILVER ICE TONGS.
DON'T GET YOUR HANDS COLD.
- I'LL HAVE TO USE THESE
THE NEXT TIME I SHAKE HANDS
WITH LINDA.
BRENDA, THANK YOU FOR
A WONDERFUL SHOWER, REALLY.
- YEAH?
- YEAH.
- RHO,
I JUST WANNA TALK TO
YOU ABOUT ONE THING.
- SURE.
- YOU REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE
TAKING ALL THAT STUFF FROM
LINDA WHEN SHE WAS
LAYING IT ON YOU?
- YEAH.
- AND THE ONLY TIME YOU SPOKE
UP WAS WHEN SHE STARTED
- TO PUT ME DOWN?
- YEAH.
- WELL, I JUST WANTED
YOU TO KNOW THAT--
- I KNOW, THAT YOU'RE 21
YEARS OLD AND YOU'RE PERFECTLY
CAPABLE OF TAKING
CARE OF YOURSELF.
- NO,
THAT I CAN USE ALL THE HELP
I CAN GET. THANKS.
