Absolutely, Syl.

I was a cow.

Miss Fine, some things
just get better with age,
24
00:00:52,183 --> 00:00:53,433
like a fine Bordeaux.
25
00:00:53,466 --> 00:00:56,150
Or a nice slab
of blue cheese,
26
00:00:56,183 --> 00:00:58,116

27
00:00:58,150 --> 00:00:59,300

00:01:48,133 --> 00:01:50,100
Nah. I've given

I bought four
plots--

00:03:02,233 --> 00:03:04,233
two for me
and your
father
88
00:03:04,266 --> 00:03:05,416

Oh, what a lovely
model.
95
00:03:18,416 --> 00:03:21,166
But why do they have
a satin lining?
96
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:22,466
Satin doesn't breathe.
97
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,160
And neither will you.
98
00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:26,483

a person could drop
dead
99

all dolled up
102

You never know.
104
00:03:36,450 --> 00:03:38,433
He could turn out
to be gorgeous.
105
00:03:38,466 --> 00:03:40,500
Yeah, right.
106
00:03:40,830 --> 00:03:41,450
I'm sure he had
a common career choice--
107
00:03:41,483 --> 00:03:45,830
male model or mortician.

00:03:45,116 --> 00:03:46,300

what's the rush?

Hi. "Stevie"?
You guys know each other?
118
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,100
Oh, we met
at a funeral.
119
00:04:08,116 --> 00:04:09,233
At least no one could say
120
00:04:09,266 --> 00:04:11,366
Marcia Silverberg
died for nothing.
121
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,366
So you set me up?
122
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,366
These plots
were a plot?
123
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,366
Ma, I'm gonna kill you.
124
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,433
Well, at least
they won't have far to move me.
125
00:04:20,466 --> 00:04:23,216
Steve, you know those four plots
my mother bought?
126
00:04:23,250 --> 00:04:25,830
Oh, sure.
The two-for-one
sale.
127
00:04:25,116 --> 00:04:26,250
A sale?
128
00:04:26,283 --> 00:04:29,450
Not only are you giving me away,
but on markdown?
129
00:04:29,483 --> 00:04:32,100
Only the best for you, darling.
130
00:04:32,133 --> 00:04:35,150
Twenty-five
is a very important birthday.
131
00:04:38,150 --> 00:04:40,116
Anyway, I'd like
to return them.
132
00:04:40,150 --> 00:04:41,183
Really?
133
00:04:41,216 --> 00:04:43,100
You haven't even
tried them out yet.
134
00:04:43,133 --> 00:04:45,316
Look, I'm sure
it's a lovely plot,
135
00:04:45,350 --> 00:04:48,660
and I'd look gorgeous in it.
136
00:04:48,100 --> 00:04:49,433
Your husband
made some other arrangements?
137
00:04:49,466 --> 00:04:51,450
She doesn't have
a husband.
138
00:04:53,350 --> 00:04:55,366
I'm sorry.
Did he pass on?
139
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,466
First, he should only pass by.
140
00:04:59,266 --> 00:05:02,150
You know, you two
have so much in common.
141
00:05:02,183 --> 00:05:05,150
Fran is a licensed
cosmetologist,

How very disobliging of you.

00:14:21,350 --> 00:14:24,333
We never had this problem
with the other nannies, did we?

No, sir.
Although, if I recall correctly,
356
00:14:26,283 --> 00:14:28,300
Nanny Carpaugh
was a handsome woman.

That was probably the sideburns.

Good morning, Niles.

He's gone upstairs
to discuss with Miss Fine

00:14:59,350 --> 00:15:02,233
the possibility
of having sex in her room.
370

Well, I got to eat.

00:15:34,333 --> 00:15:36,316
This is all
very awkward.

I've not had
to have this conversation

with the other nannies.
384
00:15:40,300 --> 00:15:42,216
Of course, they weren't nearly
as attractive as you.

Oh, Mr. Sheffield.

00:15:51,483 --> 00:15:54,283
Maybe I should have read
the fine print.

Oh, no, no,
Miss Fine.

all wrong.

I need to talk to you
about your boyfriend.

Oh, I wouldn't call him
my boyfriend.

Well, he is a boy,
and he is your friend.

Mr. Sheffield, are you
sure
you're in the right
room?
398

I mean, Maggie

down.

Oh, well, I hope it went better
than this.

No. As a matter of fact,
it didn't.
402
00:16:18,100 --> 00:16:20,116
Miss Fine, what
I'm trying to say
is,
403
00:16:20,150 --> 00:16:22,400
if you are intent
on having a fling,
404
00:16:22,433 --> 00:16:24,150

for a fling to be flung.

never, uh, "flang"?
409
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,266
No. They were not flingers.
410

Well, let me

this.

And then, out of nowhere,
he hits me with this.

Do I have to
draw you a picture?
532
00:21:46,316 --> 00:21:51,216
Oh, to think I came this close
to being Mrs. Bozo.
533
00:21:54,330 --> 00:21:57,500
All the world loves a clown.
Why can't you?

00:21:58,166 --> 00:22:00,333
Twenty-seven guys
in one little car?
535
00:22:00,366 --> 00:22:03,166
I can't even stand
to share a cab.
536
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,166
Sharing is what marriage
is all about.
537
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,416
What are you looking for,
anyway?
538
00:22:08,450 --> 00:22:10,383
Ma, I'm not asking for much,
539
00:22:10,416 --> 00:22:13,400
just a guy that doesn't
wear
as much makeup as I do.
540
00:22:13,433 --> 00:22:15,250
What are you
waiting for?
541
00:22:15,283 --> 00:22:18,383
You think Mr. Right
is just gonna walk right up,
542
00:22:18,416 --> 00:22:22,660
knock on your door,
and say, "Here I am"?

Ah, there you are.
Hello, Sylvia.
545
00:22:25,660 --> 00:22:27,116
Which tie,
the yellow or the green?
546
00:22:27,150 --> 00:22:29,000
Green. It goes better
with your eyes.
547
00:22:29,330 --> 00:22:30,150
Ah, thanks.
548
00:22:30,183 --> 00:22:33,183
Ma, I just want a guy
that I can respect
549
00:22:33,216 --> 00:22:34,450
that respects me.
550
00:22:34,483 --> 00:22:36,166
I'm sorry
to bother you
again.
551
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,166
It's just,
I value your
opinion.

Gold or
tiger's-eye
cuff links?
553
00:22:40,450 --> 00:22:42,233
Gold. Simple. Elegant.
554
00:22:42,266 --> 00:22:44,330
Right.
555
00:22:44,660 --> 00:22:45,266
Who knows, Ma?

00:22:45,300 --> 00:22:47,350
I just think
maybe someday he'll come along.

Fran, open your eyes.

Life just doesn't work
like that.

00:23:08,416 --> 00:23:10,250
Look at
Ronald McDonald.
560

He's got
his own corporation now.

spend my nights

Are you gonna be single
your whole life?

Oh, I can just
see

down the
aisle.

Look at the bright side.
