Oh, Dr. Miller, I had the
weirdest dream last night.
61
00:03:31,416 --> 00:03:36,500
Grandma Yetta was running
down a football field,
carrying a bridal bouquet
62
00:03:36,830 --> 00:03:39,450
and Count Basie
was waiting for her
in the end zone
63
00:03:39,483 --> 00:03:42,216
when Miss Piggy
comes walking by
64
00:03:42,250 --> 00:03:45,830
carrying a very lean
corned beef sandwich,
65
00:03:46,416 --> 00:03:50,283
and says, "You are not getting
any younger."
66
00:03:50,316 --> 00:03:54,660
Clearly the dream indicates
that you are bitter and upset
67
00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:56,416
at the fact that your
85-year-old grandmother's
getting married
68
00:03:56,450 --> 00:03:59,233
for the second time when you
haven't been married once.
69
00:03:59,266 --> 00:04:01,166
Really?
70
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,483
Now, you see, I just thought
I had a thing for jazz
and The Muppets, duh.
71
00:04:07,233 --> 00:04:10,250
Fran, you have to
shift your focus.
72
00:04:10,283 --> 00:04:14,116
Now, Isn't there anything
in your life besides marriage
that you're passionate about?
73
00:04:14,150 --> 00:04:17,466
Like some inner dream
that you've always kept secret?
74
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,233
-Like my deepest,
darkest fantasy?
-Right.
75
00:04:20,266 --> 00:04:21,400
Wanna tell me about it?
76
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,150
-Well, it's a little freaky.
-Oh, that's good.
77
00:04:28,316 --> 00:04:30,133
I mean, that's all right.
78
00:04:32,830 --> 00:04:34,250
Fran, it's never too late
to follow a dream.
79
00:04:34,283 --> 00:04:37,383
You've got to stop dwelling on
the things that aren't working
in your life
80
00:04:37,416 --> 00:04:40,466
and start making the things
that you want to happen happen.
81
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,450
Uh-huh. You know, Doc,
you are absolutely right.
82
00:04:43,483 --> 00:04:48,830
I'm gonna stop obsessing
on wanting to be married
and follow my dream.
83
00:04:48,116 --> 00:04:49,216
From here on in,
84
00:04:49,250 --> 00:04:51,333
I am set out on a path
where I'm gonna be
85
00:04:51,366 --> 00:04:55,100
a more interesting, mature,
independent woman.
86
00:04:56,100 --> 00:04:58,500
Maybe then he'll propose.
87
00:05:07,133 --> 00:05:11,660
Here's your invitation to
Yetta's engagement party
at the home.
88
00:05:13,660 --> 00:05:17,183
Now, don't be late.
Dinner is served promptly
at 2:00 p.m.
89
00:05:19,216 --> 00:05:22,433

-Well, I'm going.
-Me too. Where's mine?
92
00:05:30,330 --> 00:05:33,350
Oh, I'm sorry. The maximum
capacity at the home is 640.

Jimmy Dean samples
94

at the A & P yesterday.
95
00:05:42,250 --> 00:05:45,150
I'm not invited?
Okay. Fine.
96
00:05:45,183 --> 00:05:47,283
Because I've got lots
of better things to do.

00:05:48,233 --> 00:05:51,483
Yetta?
Where's my pretty Yetta?
98
00:05:54,333 --> 00:05:59,400
Mr. Sheffield, I have decided
to pursue my lifelong dream
99
00:05:59,433 --> 00:06:02,200
and become a successful
career woman.

a goal, a clear path.
101
00:06:06,350 --> 00:06:08,433
I thought you wanted
to get married
and have children.
102
00:06:08,466 --> 00:06:12,133
Wait, are you asking?
Because I could chuck
that other pipe dream.
103
00:06:15,660 --> 00:06:18,483
Yeah, right. Well,
back to my clear path.
104
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,350
I am going to become
a TV weather girl.
105
00:06:22,383 --> 00:06:24,300
Well, I think that's
the perfect job for you.
106
00:06:24,333 --> 00:06:25,433
You'll be wonderful at that.

00:06:25,466 --> 00:06:28,116

Thank you very much.

113
00:06:45,133 --> 00:06:47,150
You were just humoring me,
weren't you?
114
00:06:47,183 --> 00:06:49,416
You no more think
I could be a TV weather girl
115

than you think Gracie
could be a jockey.
116

Well, of course I do.
I mean, you're beautiful
and photogenic

118

Mr. Sheffield,
I'm not a child.
119
00:07:04,383 --> 00:07:06,660
I'm gonna be 30.
120
00:07:09,100 --> 00:07:10,466
Now, I can handle honesty.
121
00:07:13,216 --> 00:07:15,330
No, Ms. Fine,
no, you can't.
122
00:07:15,660 --> 00:07:16,400
Well, why don't you
just try me?

You know, there is a fine line
between honest and cruel.
127
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,250
Oh, Ms. Fine,
it's unrealistic.
128

am I, Niles?

Well, I know what's
going on here.
132
00:07:50,216 --> 00:07:54,500
You are just terrified
that I might become
immensely successful,
133

leave you, and your whole world
will fall apart.
134
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,350
Well, now, that's a tad
arrogant, don't you think?
135
00:07:59,383 --> 00:08:01,416
I wouldn't dream
of keeping you here
136
00:08:01,450 --> 00:08:04,200

selfish needs.

for us, mister.

Oh, Fran, I just love

I knew where the house was
before I even
got out of the car.
149
00:08:43,100 --> 00:08:44,400
Hello, Samuel. Mother.
150
00:08:46,150 --> 00:08:49,366
Why don't you guys go
take a seat in the living room
151
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,283
and we'll catch up with you
in a minute.
152
00:08:52,316 --> 00:08:55,216
-All right, all right.
-Just go take a seat.
153
00:08:55,250 --> 00:08:58,830
Well, send up a flare
when you get to the couch.
154
00:09:00,660 --> 00:09:02,500
Ma, why are you being
so cold to them?
155
00:09:02,830 --> 00:09:03,433
Is it because he's Black?
156
00:09:03,466 --> 00:09:07,283
Please. I, of all people,
am not prejudiced.
157
00:09:07,316 --> 00:09:09,300
You forget,
I come from a time
158
00:09:09,333 --> 00:09:13,160
when the Jews were kept out of
the Oyster Bay Country Club.
159
00:09:13,500 --> 00:09:17,830
Just you, Ma, and that's because
you stole a steak.
160
00:09:21,100 --> 00:09:23,166
-You know why I'm upset?
-Why?
161
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,330
My father is not even
dead 25 years
162
00:09:26,660 --> 00:09:28,400
and already she's running off
with another man.
163
00:09:30,266 --> 00:09:32,200
They're not running
anywhere, Ma.
164
00:09:34,250 --> 00:09:37,160
I'm sorry, I just
can't accept this.
165
00:09:37,500 --> 00:09:40,116
Ma, I also had problems
166
00:09:40,150 --> 00:09:42,483
with Yetta getting married
before me
167
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,283
but I channeled my anxieties
into a new career.
168
00:09:47,316 --> 00:09:49,660
And that is what
you're gonna have to do.
169
00:09:49,100 --> 00:09:53,466
You gotta find something
new in your life
and then focus on that.
170
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,116
I haven't tried the Viennetta
log from the Breyers people.
171
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,316
Hello, there. Maxwell Sheffield.
And you must be Sammy.
172
00:10:04,350 --> 00:10:08,160
Yes. And you must
be Fran's husband.
173
00:10:08,500 --> 00:10:09,450
Warming up to him yet, Ma?
174
00:10:11,283 --> 00:10:16,150
I will never accept
another man as my father.
175
00:10:16,183 --> 00:10:19,266
Sammy, you know,
you're a little confused,
sweetie.
176
00:10:19,300 --> 00:10:22,183
Mr. Sheffield
is not my husband.
177
00:10:22,216 --> 00:10:26,150
He's just the killer
of weather girl dreams.
178
00:10:26,183 --> 00:10:28,333
Would you please get off that?
I am no such thing!
179
00:10:28,366 --> 00:10:31,100
You are the killer
of weather girl dreams!
180
00:10:31,133 --> 00:10:33,233
You cannot expect to just
walk in off the streets
181
00:10:33,266 --> 00:10:35,200
and straight into
broadcasting.
182
00:10:35,233 --> 00:10:37,383
You know, my nephew works
down at the television station.
183
00:10:37,416 --> 00:10:39,450
Maybe he can help you out.
184
00:10:39,483 --> 00:10:42,383
Well, there's your in, Ms. Fine.
You think I should look
for another nanny?
185
00:10:42,416 --> 00:10:44,150
Well, maybe you know him,
Bryant Gumbel?
186
00:10:46,283 --> 00:10:48,300
Bryant Gumbel's your nephew?
187
00:10:48,333 --> 00:10:49,433
Papa!
188
00:10:56,300 --> 00:10:59,660
You know, Fran,
if Bryant Gumbel hires you,
189
00:10:59,100 --> 00:11:01,166
doing the weather could be
just the beginning for you.
190
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,200
Oh, I know. You know that movie,
Up Close & Personal?
191
00:11:04,233 --> 00:11:07,333
Michelle Pfeiffer started out
as a weather girl,
and look who she became.
192
00:11:07,366 --> 00:11:11,660
-Who?
-Well, Michelle Pfeiffer
for one thing.
193
00:11:11,100 --> 00:11:12,216
Oh, yeah, yeah.
194
00:11:12,250 --> 00:11:14,283
Val, you go over there
with the cue cards
195
00:11:14,316 --> 00:11:18,500
and, Gracie, you come up
with just some cute
little news headline
196
00:11:18,830 --> 00:11:20,183
and then throw it over to me
in Weather Central.
197
00:11:20,216 --> 00:11:22,150
Okay.
198
00:11:22,183 --> 00:11:25,300
"Today President Clinton and
Chinese president Jiang Zemin
199
00:11:25,333 --> 00:11:29,316
just signed a pact eliminating
nuclear proliferation
in the Far East."
200
00:11:33,383 --> 00:11:36,500
She talks good.
201
00:11:36,830 --> 00:11:40,233
And now, let's go to everyone's
favorite weather girl,
Fran "Fair Skies" Fine.
202
00:11:40,266 --> 00:11:41,300
Fran?
203
00:11:41,333 --> 00:11:43,383
Thank you, Grace.
204
00:11:43,416 --> 00:11:49,116
Well, it's going to be
a crisp, delicious day
in the Tri-state area.
205
00:11:51,300 --> 00:11:53,333
So...
206
00:11:53,366 --> 00:11:58,200
my forecast would be to wear
something playful and autumny.
207
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,500
But if you happen
to be single,
208
00:12:03,830 --> 00:12:05,233
and there's a cold front
coming, ladies,
209
00:12:05,266 --> 00:12:07,100
I would wear this.
210
00:12:09,266 --> 00:12:11,830
God willing,
you'll get pneumonia
211
00:12:11,116 --> 00:12:13,366
and one, two, three,
you'll meet a nice doctor.
212
00:12:20,250 --> 00:12:23,500
Oh, Niles, take out my Canali
tuxedo, would you?
213
00:12:23,830 --> 00:12:25,160
I have to go down to
my lawyer's office.
214
00:12:25,500 --> 00:12:28,316
Oh, you know, sir,
that's right near the studio
where Ms. Fine is auditioning.
215
00:12:28,350 --> 00:12:31,416
You might want to drop by
and ruin everything.
216
00:12:33,450 --> 00:12:35,400
Would you just stop it?
217
00:12:35,433 --> 00:12:37,400
You really think
I'm that insecure?
218
00:12:37,433 --> 00:12:39,150
Look, even if Ms. Fine
gets this job,
219
00:12:39,183 --> 00:12:41,333
it doesn't mean she's
necessarily gonna leave us.
220
00:12:44,330 --> 00:12:46,830
-Ready, Daddy.
-All right, sweetheart.
221
00:12:46,116 --> 00:12:48,160
-Let's go over it
one more time.
-Okay.
222
00:12:48,500 --> 00:12:50,183
"Fran, I really miss you
223
00:12:50,216 --> 00:12:53,466
and you have to come home
because I'm afraid to be alone."
224
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,500
Excellent. Excellent.
225
00:12:57,830 --> 00:12:59,333
-Now, remember,
wait for my signal.
-Okay.
226
00:12:59,366 --> 00:13:02,250
Got it? Good.
227
00:13:02,283 --> 00:13:05,483
You know, I can't believe
you're using me to manipulate
someone like this.
228
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,333
It's so Fran.
229
00:13:10,433 --> 00:13:12,166
Thank you, sweetheart.
230
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,166
Oh! Bryant Gumbel.
Bryant Gumbel.
231
00:13:22,216 --> 00:13:23,383
Excuse me?
232
00:13:26,233 --> 00:13:29,300
Oh, I'm Fran Fine.
Uncle Sammy recommended me.
233
00:13:29,333 --> 00:13:32,660
Oh, yeah, Fran.
You made it.
234
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,333
Oh, I'm just so glad
that we had an opportunity
235
00:13:36,366 --> 00:13:38,233
to meet before the wedding.
236
00:13:38,266 --> 00:13:41,330
You know, I'm gonna make sure
that you're sitting
between me and Ma
237
00:13:41,660 --> 00:13:43,350
so you're not surrounded
by a bunch of nuts.
238
00:13:43,383 --> 00:13:46,250
Lesley Stahl! Lesley Stahl!
239
00:13:46,283 --> 00:13:49,350
Oh, Lesley,
I love you, I love you.
240
00:13:49,383 --> 00:13:52,200
Is that her real hair?
241
00:13:52,233 --> 00:13:54,133
So where's my weather set?
242
00:13:54,166 --> 00:13:55,450
What weather set?
243
00:13:55,483 --> 00:13:58,283
You know, the one with the
temperatures and the maps
244
00:13:58,316 --> 00:14:00,166
and the clouds that keep
rolling over and over.
245
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,830
Fran, we don't have
a weather set on this show.
246
00:14:02,416 --> 00:14:04,830
No weather girl?
247
00:14:04,116 --> 00:14:07,330
Oh, but that's what
I'm here for.
248
00:14:07,660 --> 00:14:08,466
Are you sure you
don't wanna reconsider
249
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,433
because I got an Aunt Ida
with a Nielsen box.
250
00:14:12,466 --> 00:14:16,660
You know, we do have an opening
for an editorial commentator.
251
00:14:16,100 --> 00:14:17,200
Would you be interested in
auditioning for that?
252
00:14:17,233 --> 00:14:20,433
Sure. I'd go for
editorial commentator.
253
00:14:20,466 --> 00:14:23,216
-Whatever the hell that is.
-Lance. Great. Lance?
254
00:14:23,250 --> 00:14:26,330
Why don't we get her audition
down on tape?
255
00:14:26,660 --> 00:14:27,300
Would you like a hairdresser?
256
00:14:27,333 --> 00:14:30,266
Oh, why, you think
it's a little
too subdued for TV?
257
00:14:30,300 --> 00:14:32,160
Might not fit on TV.
258
00:14:40,116 --> 00:14:41,200
Boy, come here.
259
00:14:45,830 --> 00:14:48,216
Are you taking anyone
to this thing, Saturday night?
260
00:14:48,250 --> 00:14:51,133
Well, let's see,
am I taking a date
261
00:14:51,166 --> 00:14:53,200
or am I taking...
262
00:14:55,316 --> 00:14:57,166
-You.
-Saturday.
263
00:15:02,266 --> 00:15:04,333
Master Brighton, did she
ask you to take her
with you Saturday?
264
00:15:04,366 --> 00:15:06,330
Yes.
265
00:15:06,660 --> 00:15:08,166
Does she know that you're
not going to Yetta's party
266
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,450
but that she'll be helping you
man the Klingon booth
at the Star Trek convention?
267
00:15:15,166 --> 00:15:18,433
No, but I mean,
maybe I should tell her.
It's just so cruel.
268
00:15:24,466 --> 00:15:26,450
It's a wee bit crueler
than that, captain.
269
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,216
You ready to do this?
270
00:15:35,250 --> 00:15:36,333
-Absolutely.
-Okay. I'll tell you
what we'll do.
271
00:15:36,366 --> 00:15:39,166
I will give you a topic
off the top of my head
272
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,000
-and you just
run with it, okay?
-No problemo.
273
00:15:42,330 --> 00:15:43,200
Good. Gene therapy.
274
00:15:43,233 --> 00:15:45,416
-Gene therapy. Got it.
-Gene therapy.
275
00:15:46,250 --> 00:15:47,450
Fran Fine test.
276
00:15:47,483 --> 00:15:52,366
In five, four, three, two...
277
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,100
Hi, I'm Fran Fine.
278
00:15:55,133 --> 00:15:56,366
How are you?
279
00:15:58,283 --> 00:16:02,330
I'm here to do an editorial
commentary on gene therapy.
280
00:16:02,660 --> 00:16:03,350
Well, if you want my opinion,
281
00:16:03,383 --> 00:16:06,483
I think that there is nothing
more therapeutic
282
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:08,283
than slipping into
a pair of jeans
283
00:16:08,316 --> 00:16:12,216
that make your tush look hot
in a pair of ooh-la-la Sassons.
284
00:16:13,366 --> 00:16:17,330
Anywho, I would just
slip into those babies
285
00:16:17,660 --> 00:16:19,250
whenever I wanted
to lift my spirits
286
00:16:19,283 --> 00:16:22,830
or my grade point average.
287
00:16:25,383 --> 00:16:27,350
Well, that's it for now.
288
00:16:27,383 --> 00:16:30,350
This is Fran Fine signing off,
zei gezunt.
289
00:16:30,383 --> 00:16:32,000
Go with God.
290
00:16:33,416 --> 00:16:36,450
-No. No. No, no, no.
-No? Oh, my God.
291
00:16:36,483 --> 00:16:38,116
Is it the hair?
292
00:16:38,150 --> 00:16:40,466
Oh, I knew I shouldn't have
tried someone new.
293
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:46,116
Fran, gene therapy is the
alteration of our genes
by scientists.
294
00:16:46,150 --> 00:16:48,660
But why would you
go to a scientist
295
00:16:48,100 --> 00:16:50,500
when any dry cleaner
could put up a hem
296
00:16:50,830 --> 00:16:51,316
and they've gotta charge more?
297
00:16:51,350 --> 00:16:53,466
Fran, no, no.
Not those kind of jeans.
298
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,450
DNA, genetics,
our cellular infrastructure.
299
00:16:56,483 --> 00:16:59,000
Oh.
300
00:16:59,416 --> 00:17:01,283
Never mind.
301
00:17:03,383 --> 00:17:05,266
Thank you.
We'll be in touch.
302
00:17:05,300 --> 00:17:07,660
Thank you, Bryant Gumbel.
303
00:17:09,350 --> 00:17:12,166
Uncle or no uncle,
I'm having him committed.
304
00:17:17,450 --> 00:17:19,100
Excuse me.
305
00:17:19,133 --> 00:17:21,266
I'm gonna have to ask
for your security pass back.
306
00:17:23,660 --> 00:17:25,160
Won't I need it for tomorrow?
307
00:17:29,250 --> 00:17:31,500
And the box of doughnuts.
308
00:17:36,416 --> 00:17:39,133
They're the lemon-filled ones.
Nobody eats those.
309
00:17:45,166 --> 00:17:49,216
Oh, Mr. Sheffield,
it was horrible.
310
00:17:49,250 --> 00:17:50,466
Ms. Fine. Ms. Fine,
what happened?
311
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,366
That mean lady
took my doughnuts.
312
00:17:55,133 --> 00:17:58,150
No, I mean what happened
with the audition?
How'd it go?
313
00:17:58,183 --> 00:18:01,216
Oh, well, for starters,
they didn't need
a weather girl.
314
00:18:01,250 --> 00:18:05,500
They made me audition
for editorial commentator.
315
00:18:05,830 --> 00:18:07,283
Yikes.
316
00:18:07,316 --> 00:18:10,366
Well, I mean that in a most
supportive way, of course.
317
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,400
Oh, it doesn't matter.
You were right
in the first place.
318
00:18:13,433 --> 00:18:15,150
You know, next time
I have a dream,
319
00:18:15,183 --> 00:18:17,266
just go ahead
and dump all over it.
320
00:18:17,300 --> 00:18:19,450
It'll save me the heartache.
321
00:18:19,483 --> 00:18:22,166
I wouldn't be so sure,
Ms. Fine.
322
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:23,366
I have a confession
to make to you.
323
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,400
You know, the real reason
I came down here today
324
00:18:25,433 --> 00:18:28,350
was because, well, frankly,
I was terrified
you would succeed.
325
00:18:28,383 --> 00:18:30,330
-Really?
-Yes.
326
00:18:30,660 --> 00:18:32,250
Furthermore, I came up
with a rather elaborate ruse
327
00:18:32,283 --> 00:18:34,000
to make sure
I could get you back.
328
00:18:34,330 --> 00:18:35,450
-You did?
-Watch. Watch this.
329
00:18:41,100 --> 00:18:42,116
Gracie.
330
00:18:43,366 --> 00:18:45,383
Fran, I really missed you.
331
00:18:47,366 --> 00:18:50,266
And you have to come home
because I'm afraid to be alone.
332
00:18:50,300 --> 00:18:51,483
[Maxwell] Never mind.
333
00:18:52,366 --> 00:18:54,000
Never mind.
334
00:18:54,330 --> 00:18:56,183
Well, we did have it
all planned out. I promise.
335
00:18:57,500 --> 00:19:02,300
Oh, that's so sweet.
336
00:19:03,366 --> 00:19:05,100
But, you know,
a word of advice.
337
00:19:05,133 --> 00:19:08,330
Next time you use a child
to manipulate an adult,
338
00:19:08,660 --> 00:19:11,000
you gotta give them a protein,
not a carbohydrate
339
00:19:11,330 --> 00:19:14,400
or they lose
their concentration.

00:19:14,433 --> 00:19:19,150
Oh, why couldn't this
have been my category?

00:19:21,383 --> 00:19:25,160
I could have been the next

00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,316
Come on, honey,
let's go home.

00:19:28,350 --> 00:19:30,166
Oh, wait a minute.
344
00:19:40,150 --> 00:19:41,416
May I help you?
345
00:19:41,450 --> 00:19:44,400
Yes, I'm here to meet
my nephew for lunch,
Bryant Gumbel
346
00:19:44,433 --> 00:19:47,150
and my little girl
is anxious to meet him.
347
00:19:55,500 --> 00:19:56,416
This is my daddy.

Oh, thank you, baby.
