The Nanny (1993–1999): Season 6, Episode 10 - The Hanukkah Story - full transcript
It's the December holiday season. Maxwell's sister Jocelyn drops by unexpectedly from London to meet up with a new boyfriend, a meeting which doesn't go as she hopes. Meanwhile, Maxwell has made plans to go to Boston for a one-day business trip on the first day of Hanukkah. Fran is upset that he forgot about spending what she considers the most important day of the holiday season with the family. But the entire family won't be at home for the first day of Hanukkah either as, in addition to C.C., Maxwell is taking Grace with him to Boston. On the first day of Hanukkah, both Fran and Maxwell individually remember back to their respective childhoods about what the holidays were like. This remembrance is enough for Maxwell to realize that he'd rather be home. As Maxwell, C.C. and Grace are driving along during a blizzard, Maxwell calls Fran on his cell phone to tell her that they're on their way home. But Fran overhears what she thinks is Maxwell accidentally driving off the road. She's right. She and the family are worried for their loved ones. Meanwhile, Maxwell, C.C. and Grace are all right, but they are stranded without any way of getting hold of anyone (the phone has gone dead), and with what Maxwell thinks is enough gas in the car to keep the motor running for about an hour - an hour of warmth. But it's Hanukkah, the season of miracles.
B, remember, tonight's Hanukkah,
so I want you home early for dinner,
because we're gonna play spin the dreidel
with Sammy, Yetta and Ma.
Yeah, I'll take worst ideas in the world
for 500, please, Alex.
Frannie, can I help you with anything?
You know, if you can get me some more
paper towels, I'd appreciate it.
They make them in paper now?
Yetta, why don't you just play
with your chocolate dreidel?
I'm right here, baby. Yeah, yeah.
-Fran?
-Yes, my darling.
-Explain something to me, please.
-What?
Why do all the Jewish holidays
start at sundown?
Well, that's because God realized
that before 5:00,
to wear sequins is gauche.
Look everyone, Mr. Sheffield's sister came
from England to stay with us,
without any notice whatsoever.
How happy am I?
-Jocelyn, it's so good to see you.
-Ditto.
And congratulations on the baby.
We were all so excited
-to hear you're expecting a child.
-You were?
Well, it explained the wedding.
Okay.
You remember my grandmother
and her boyfriend?
They sat next to you
at the engagement party.
You choked on a chicken bone,
and he saved your life.
He gave you a bottle of Scotch
to calm your nerves.
Sammy!
-How are you?
-So, what are you doing here?
Well, I flew in
to surprise this man I've met.
Listen to this. He's 36, fabulous taste,
and a stunning apartment,
which he did buy himself.
-Do you realize what that means?
-He likes Barbra Streisand
and James Brolin?
No, I finally met my equal.
Why don't you and Max join us
for drinks tonight at Nello's?
No, we couldn't possibly leave tonight.
It's the first night of Hanukkah
and the first night that we're going
to spend it as a family.
Max knows how important it is to me.
Well, I'm off to Boston.
I hope that wasn't Max.
She was working in a bridal shop
In Flushing, Queens
'Til her boyfriend kicked her out
In one of those crushing scenes
What was she to do, where was she to go?
She was out on her fanny
So, over the bridge from Flushing
To the Sheffields' door
She was there to sell makeup
But the father saw more
She had style, she had flair
She was there
That's how she became the Nanny
Who would have guessed
That the girl we described
Was just exactly
What the doctor prescribed?
-Now the father finds her beguiling
-Watch out, C.C.
-And the kids are actually smiling
-Such joie de vivre!
She's the lady in red
When everybody else is wearing tan
The flashy girl from Flushing
The Nanny named Fran
You're going to Boston?
Honey, are you forgetting
what tonight is?
Maybe I'll give you a hint.
The first letter is, "Ha"
-Sorry, darling, what's the second letter?
-"Naka"?
It's Hanukkah. I'm sorry, sweetheart.
Well, we'll celebrate it tomorrow.
There are eight nights of Hanukkah,
aren't there?
The first night is the most important.
Don't you wanna make your wife happy?
Of course, I do. I'm sorry, darling,
but there's a new musical
workshopping in Boston.
And if I wanna have a crack at it,
I've gotta get up there.
Well, why didn't you tell me
about this sooner?
Well, I did. Last Wednesday.
You were watching Chicago Hope.
Sweetie, don't tell me stuff
when I'm in the middle
of a cross-gender surgery.
How can you go away like this
and not tell me?
We've always been bitter together
on the holiday.
If you think of anything nasty and hurtful,
leave it on my machine.
I'll check in.
Remember, when you're in Boston,
keep a scarf wrapped around your neck.
-It's not that cold.
-No, but it's that old.
-Hate you.
-Hate you more.
Darling, you know I'd rather
be here with you,
but business is business.
Come here, come on.
Love you.
Well, at least I'll be able to enjoy
the tradition with our children.
Ready to go to Boston, Daddy.
-She's going?
-She's going?
Well, darling, the school Grace wants
to attend during her summer session,
is just outside Boston.
I thought while we're there, we'd...
Well, anyway, I explained all this to you
the other night when we went
-for Chinese food.
-Sweetie, don't be telling me stuff
when I'm making a moo-she pancake.
-Hold it. Nobody's going anywhere.
-Well, thank you.
It's nice to see someone else is
as upset as I am.
Yeah, I'm upset.
This is my favorite sweater.
-Well, come on.
-I'll walk you out to the car.
Bye.
Bye.
Wait.
Bye, kiddo.
I can't believe it's the first night
of Hanukkah
and Max isn't even here.
Darling, you know your problem?
You don't know how to keep your man
at home.
Ma, I can't even figure out
how to keep you at home.
What's the big deal?
My husband never showed up
at Hanukkah for 30 years.
I still got latkes left over
in the freezer.
-He's dead, Yetta.
-He's dead, Yetta.
He's dead? Thank God.
I thought it was my cooking.
Well, he's gotta know
that I wanna continue the traditions
that I was raised with.
You know how important Hanukkah
has always been to me.
I always loved that holiday as a kid.
Ma,
why can't we have a Christmas tree?
Because, my darling,
we are of the Jewish faith.
And as Jewish people,
we celebrate Hanukkah.
It's so boring compared to Christmas.
Like, why don't we have
a Hanukkah parade?
After all that walking we did
in the desert,
we like to sit on the holiday.
Preferably, by a pool in Miami Beach.
Hi, Ma.
Don't touch the latkes.
They're for Grandpa.
I can't believe we're not gonna be
with the whole family for Hanukkah.
Honey, that's your present.
Well, that is going to change.
That's why I wanted Max here.
I want to start a Hanukkah tradition
with my new family.
I hear there's a new Radisson in Boca.
Jocelyn, what are you doing back here?
I thought you were having drinks
with your boyfriend.
No, it's over.
I found out he's married,
has three children and a mistress.
I'm crushed.
-This is you crushed?
-Oh, yes.
I'm utterly destroyed.
I apologize for making such a scene.
That's the British for you.
They show no emotion.
Brand new bottle of Scotch!
Maxwell, this is ridiculous.
We're never gonna find this school.
Just get back on the highway.
C.C., why are you in such a bad mood?
Well, the holiday season is approaching,
I'm alone like a dog.
I'm riding to Boston with a kid who turned
around to tell me she's gonna throw up
and then did.
Ho-freaking-ho.
Miss Babcock, you know what I think
your problem is?
You miss Niles.
-Do not.
-So do.
-Do not!
-So do.
Please, will you two just stop it?
Daddy, you know what I think
your problem is?
You feel guilty about leaving Fran
on Hanukkah.
-I do not.
-So do.
-Do not!
-So do.
Do not-- Gracie!
Look, Fran said she understood.
This is business,
and sometimes business has to come first.
Father.
You know what's my favorite thing
about Christmas is?
Having the family all together.
What's your second-favorite thing?
Spending time with you, Father.
Say you had a third choice.
You're not going to be here
for Christmas, are you, Father?
Well, now it's just a holiday, son.
And business is business.
You do understand, don't you?
Yes, sir.
Look, why don't you go
and play with that butler's son?
Niles?
After all, he is going
to be your butler one day.
I will not be a butler.
I'm going to be a barrister,
with my own estate
and my own staff.
Barrister. That's good, that's good.
I'm sorry, sweetheart, I--
I think I'd like to go home.
What?
See if you can get hold of Fran
on the cell phone, would you?
Miss Babcock, can you do it?
-That egg cream isn't sitting right.
-Turn around and open the damn window.
-Would you like some rugelach?
-No, I'm too depressed for sweet.
It's Hanukkah and Max isn't here.
Well, then,
should I take it back to the kitchen?
No, put it down.
I might have a mood swing.
Keep them by you.
I lost 30 pounds.
Sylvia, I envy you.
I'd love to lose more weight,
but nothing seems to kill my appetite.
Do what I did.
-I just looked at myself stark naked--
-Thank you. That killed it.
You know,
I've been trying to lose weight, too.
I've been on that two-shakes-a-day diet.
Aren't those shakes very expensive?
No, they come with the Happy Meal.
Why hasn't Max called me?
Maybe I was too rough on him.
Maybe I just should have been
more understanding.
Will you stop? Be strong.
Ma, I love him.
I'm talking to myself.
The rugelach is looking very buttery.
-Hello? Hello?
-Darling--
-It's Max.
-Darling, I had to call.
-I just want you to know--
-What? What? What?
Darling, I'm sorry. We're breaking up.
Honey, you do mean
the phone reception, don't you?
...I can't hear you.
-I said, you do mean the phone--
-Daddy, watch out!
-Max?
-Oh, my God! Hold on, Grace!
Max! Max! Oh, my God. Hello? Hello?
I think they just crashed!
Niles. The State police are saying
that the blizzard is so bad
that the tracks from Maxwell's car
is probably covered over with snow by now.
Now, you listen to me,
there are three people I love very much
in that car.
Well, two people I love,
and one with whom I have
a very complicated relationship.
Now, you get out there and you find them!
What if they don't? I'm scared.
What if something happens to them?
I don't think I can deal with--
Everything's gonna be fine, kids.
Yes, I just spoke to the state police,
and they said they're looking for them
and not to worry.
Fran, why didn't I let Gracie
take my sweater?
-Baby.
-It's just a stupid sweater.
Please don't worry.
They said that they're gonna find them.
Yeah, but how?
They don't even know
-where the car went off the road.
-Sweetie, it's Hanukkah.
Don't you know
what this holiday is all about?
After a war,
my people only had enough oil
to light the temple lamp for one night.
But miraculously, it lasted for eight.
Okay, Fran, I have no idea
why you just told me that.
Because, sweetie,
it's a night about miracles.
Now listen to me, you kids.
Go into the kitchen.
Niles made some delicious vegetable soup.
I want you to eat it.
It'll make you feel much better.
Everything is gonna be fine.
I promise you.
They're gonna die! They're gonna die!
What if they don't find them
until morning?
-What if they freeze to death?
-They'll be fine.
You know, if there's too much alcohol
in your blood,
the cold can kill you even faster.
-Miss Babcock!
-Miss Babcock!
-You all right, darling?
-I'm fine.
He was talking to me.
I didn't hear a name.
All right, everyone just keep calm.
I'll try the cell phone one more time.
It's dead. It's still dead.
We've got to do something
to keep warm. Maxwell,
you come back here with me. Grace,
you go outside and play.
C.C., it's a blizzard out there.
Blizzard, winter wonderland.
All right, look, we have about
an eighth of a tank of gas.
That's enough to keep the engine running
and the heater on for about an hour.
That's... That should be plenty of time
for the authorities to find us.
What if the hour goes by and they don't?
I'll never experience the sweet touch
of my beautiful Ni--
Night
Warming night
Everyone.
All is calm
All is bright...
Sweetie, why don't you come inside?
You're gonna get so sick.
I can't sit in there anymore.
I'm going crazy.
Why haven't they found them yet?
It's been hours
-and hours and hours.
-Everything's gonna be all right.
You just gotta think positive.
I know. I have so much to be grateful for.
-I had a beautiful wedding.
-Yeah.
Baby on the way.
Kenny Rogers Roasters
just opened up around the corner.
It's the first night of Hanukkah.
Please,
can't we have one more miracle?
-Excuse me?
-Oh, my God.
He must have gotten confused
'cause of my new last name.
I'm so sorry to bother you,
but I've been visiting next door
and someone has blocked me in.
That must be Val's car.
Val, you're blocking the nun.
Sister, please forgive me.
-All the other girls were doing it.
-Val, Val,
you're not 28 and in school anymore.
Just go and move the car.
I'm so sorry, Sister.
We're all a little bit
on edge here because,
well, my husband and my daughter were
in a car crash,
and the state police can't find them.
Oh, my dear.
Sister, I'm so scared.
I'm sorry.
-I don't even know your name.
-Sister.
Sister Sister?
Perhaps it would help you to talk.
Some people find it a relief
-to--
-Well, I really wanted my husband
to be here for the first night
of Hanukkah
because it's really important to me,
like Christmas is important to him.
You see, I married one of yours.
Why don't we pray together?
But I'm Jewish, Sister.
Will your prayers work for me?
Of course they will.
Let's close our eyes and pray.
Okay.
Oh, dear God. Please,
please, I beg of you!
A silent prayer, dear.
Darling?
Oh, my God!
What have you got, Sprint?
-Oh, sweetie. Oh, sweetie.
-Darling.
Oh, I love you.
I can't believe this.
-I'm so happy you're okay.
-Yeah, we're fine.
-We're just fine.
-I didn't know whether you were dead
-or alive or freezing.
-Well, that's the amazing thing.
I thought we had enough gas to keep
the engine going, and the heater on
for about, I don't know, an hour,
but, well, it lasted for eight.
That's like Hanukkah.
The oil lasted for eight days.
We both had a miracle tonight.
You guys showed up just at the very moment
that I was praying with this sister.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Thank God.
You're safe and sound.
I gotta tell Morty.
Niles, get my coat. I'm going home!
Another miracle!
Thank you.
That was beautiful, darling.
I know that it's the second night
of Hanukkah, but honestly,
this is the best first night
I've ever had.
There is no
Place like home
For the holidays
And no matter
How far
You may want
And if you want to
Be happy
In a million ways
For the holidays
You can't be home
Sweet home
Yeah, baby.
Isn't this smashing?
This is going to be my house
and she is going to be my wife.
And I am going to be
a big Broadway producer.
And check me out.
I'm married to a gorgeous man, pregnant,
and I still look damn good for 29.
And, where are you?
Well, obviously, I'm in court.
I became a successful barrister.
Remember?
Niles!
What?
Oh, good God.
I'm so depressed.
'Night, all.
Who's that?
so I want you home early for dinner,
because we're gonna play spin the dreidel
with Sammy, Yetta and Ma.
Yeah, I'll take worst ideas in the world
for 500, please, Alex.
Frannie, can I help you with anything?
You know, if you can get me some more
paper towels, I'd appreciate it.
They make them in paper now?
Yetta, why don't you just play
with your chocolate dreidel?
I'm right here, baby. Yeah, yeah.
-Fran?
-Yes, my darling.
-Explain something to me, please.

I can't believe it's the first night

The rugelach is looking very buttery.
-Hello? Hello?
-Darling--
-It's Max.
-Darling, I had to call.
-I just want you to know--
-What? What? What?
Darling, I'm sorry. We're breaking up.
Honey, you do mean
the phone reception, don't you?
...I can't hear you.
-I said, you do mean the phone--

Max! Max! Oh, my God. Hello? Hello?
I think they just crashed!

Now, you get out there and you find them!
What if they don't? I'm scared.
What if something happens to them?
I don't think I can deal with--
Everything's gonna be fine, kids.
Yes, I just spoke to the state police,
and they said they're looking for them
and not to worry.
Fran, why didn't I let Gracie
take my sweater?
-Baby.
-It's just a stupid sweater.
Please don't worry.
They said that they're gonna find them.
Yeah, but how?
They don't even know
-where the car went off the road.
-Sweetie, it's Hanukkah.
Don't you know
what this holiday is all about?
After a war,
my people only had enough oil
to light the temple lamp for one night.
But miraculously, it lasted for eight.
Okay, Fran, I have no idea
why you just told me that.
Because, sweetie,
it's a night about miracles.
Now listen to me, you kids.
Go into the kitchen.
Niles made some delicious vegetable soup.
I want you to eat it.
It'll make you feel much better.
Everything is gonna be fine.
I promise you.
They're gonna die! They're gonna die!
What if they don't find them
until morning?
-What if they freeze to death?
-They'll be fine.
You know, if there's too much alcohol
in your blood,
the cold can kill you even faster.
-Miss Babcock!
-Miss Babcock!
-You all right, darling?
-I'm fine.
He was talking to me.
I didn't hear a name.
All right, everyone just keep calm.
I'll try the cell phone one more time.
It's dead. It's still dead.
We've got to do something
to keep warm. Maxwell,
you come back here with me. Grace,
you go outside and play.
C.C., it's a blizzard out there.
Blizzard, winter wonderland.
All right, look, we have about
an eighth of a tank of gas.
That's enough to keep the engine running
and the heater on for about an hour.
That's... That should be plenty of time
for the authorities to find us.
What if the hour goes by and they don't?
I'll never experience the sweet touch
of my beautiful Ni--
Night
Warming night
Everyone.
All is calm
All is bright...
Sweetie, why don't you come inside?
You're gonna get so sick.
I can't sit in there anymore.
I'm going crazy.
Why haven't they found them yet?
It's been hours
-and hours and hours.
-Everything's gonna be all right.
You just gotta think positive.
I know. I have so much to be grateful for.
-I had a beautiful wedding.
-Yeah.
Baby on the way.
Kenny Rogers Roasters
just opened up around the corner.
It's the first night of Hanukkah.
Please,
can't we have one more miracle?
-Excuse me?
-Oh, my God.
He must have gotten confused
'cause of my new last name.
I'm so sorry to bother you,
but I've been visiting next door
and someone has blocked me in.
That must be Val's car.
Val, you're blocking the nun.
Sister, please forgive me.
-All the other girls were doing it.
-Val, Val,
you're not 28 and in school anymore.
Just go and move the car.
I'm so sorry, Sister.
We're all a little bit
on edge here because,
well, my husband and my daughter were
in a car crash,
and the state police can't find them.
Oh, my dear.
Sister, I'm so scared.
I'm sorry.
-I don't even know your name.
-Sister.
Sister Sister?
Perhaps it would help you to talk.
Some people find it a relief
-to--
-Well, I really wanted my husband
to be here for the first night
of Hanukkah
because it's really important to me,
like Christmas is important to him.
You see, I married one of yours.
Why don't we pray together?
But I'm Jewish, Sister.
Will your prayers work for me?
Of course they will.
Let's close our eyes and pray.
Okay.
Oh, dear God. Please,
please, I beg of you!
A silent prayer, dear.
Darling?
Oh, my God!
What have you got, Sprint?
-Oh, sweetie. Oh, sweetie.
-Darling.
Oh, I love you.
I can't believe this.
-I'm so happy you're okay.
-Yeah, we're fine.
-We're just fine.
-I didn't know whether you were dead
-or alive or freezing.
-Well, that's the amazing thing.
I thought we had enough gas to keep
the engine going, and the heater on
for about, I don't know, an hour,
but, well, it lasted for eight.
That's like Hanukkah.
The oil lasted for eight days.
We both had a miracle tonight.
You guys showed up just at the very moment
that I was praying with this sister.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Thank God.
You're safe and sound.
I gotta tell Morty.
Niles, get my coat. I'm going home!
Another miracle!
Thank you.
That was beautiful, darling.
I know that it's the second night
of Hanukkah, but honestly,
this is the best first night
I've ever had.
There is no
Place like home
For the holidays
And no matter
How far
You may want
And if you want to
Be happy
In a million ways
For the holidays
You can't be home
Sweet home
Yeah, baby.
Isn't this smashing?
This is going to be my house
and she is going to be my wife.
And I am going to be
a big Broadway producer.
And check me out.
I'm married to a gorgeous man, pregnant,
and I still look damn good for 29.
And, where are you?
Well, obviously, I'm in court.
I became a successful barrister.
Remember?
Niles!
What?
Oh, good God.
I'm so depressed.
'Night, all.
Who's that?
