[ Man]
And when I die
Won't you bury me
In the par kin' lot
OftheA&P?
Blow out the candles
And blow out the lamps
And light my pyre
With my tradin'' stamps
Yee-ha!
I had three books
But I needed four
To go to heaven
And redeem my soul
What happened to two, Mike?
I had two books
But I needed three
To deliver me
From the A&P N
Bravo, Mike! Bravo!
Bellissimal
You really make all that up?
Are you really
going to shave your legs?
Ce/10. All the Italians do it.
Eh, some country.
Eh, huh?
Stop!
It was somewhere right along here
that I lost all interest in life.
Aha! It was right here.
This is where
I saw Dolores Reineke...
and fat Marvin!
[ Grunts ]
Why, Dolores?
Why?
They're married now.
See what I saved you from, Cyril?
If I hadn't told you, you never
would have followed them out here.
Well, thanks, Mike. You made me lose all
interest in life, and I'm grateful.
My brother said he saw
you and Nancy, Moocher.
When'?
Uh, last Friday.
Well, it wasn't me.
I'm not seeing her anymore.
[Cyril ]
I kind of miss school.
This is gonna be the first time no
one's gonna ask us to write a theme...
about how we spent our summer.
Yeah.
When you're 16,
they call it sweet 16.
When you're 18, you get to drink,
vote, and see dirty movies.
What the hell do you get to do
when you're 19?
You leave home.
My dad said Jesus never went further
than 50 miles from his home.
Look what happened to him.
Whoo!
[ Moocher]
Hey, man, this feels great!
[ Cyril ]
Ahh! Come on in!
[ Moocher]
Hey, come on in, Dave.
I read where this Italian coach said it's
no good to go swimming right after a race.
[ Cyril ] Who's swimming?
I'm taking a leak.
J' [ Continues ]
Dave, is Moocher home?
J"J" [ Continues In Italian]
[Children Chattering ]
Hey, ciao, bambini.
Buon giorno!
J' [ Continues ]
He was as normal as pumpkin
pie, and now look at him.
His poor parents.
It's that cologne he wears.
It's called...
Neapolitan Sunset.
Yeah? Well,
the flies seem to like it.
There.
This is it?
Well, you know
what the doctor said.
At your age- What the hell
do you mean at my age?
Goddamn see-through coffee.
He says you have a bad heart.
That's got nothing to do with my age.
It's our son that's
ruining my health, Evelyn.
What's he going to do?
He wanted a year off with those bums
so I give him a year.
It hasn't been a year yet.
But, Evelyn, look what's happened to him.
He's turned into an lty.
Ciao, Papa. Ciao, mama.
'Arrivederci. .
That's lty talk.
I used to think it was funny at first.
lt's not funny anymore.
He was very sickly until he started
riding around on that bike.
Well, now his body's fine,
but his mind is going.
He used to be a smart kid. I thought
he was going to go to college.
I thought
you didn't want him to.
Why should he?
I never went to college.
When I was 19, I was working
in the quarry ten hours a day.
Most of the quarries are closed.
Let him find another job.
Jobs are not that easy to find.
Let him look at least. Let him
come home tired from looking.
He's never tired.
He's never miserable.
He's young-
When I was young,
I was tired and miserable.
[ Chuckles ]
I had my own place at 17.
He says Italian families
stay together.
Evelyn, we are not Italian.
Oh, I know, I know.
It's just that I come
from a big family myself...
and it was kind of nice.
He thinks
What?
Buon giorno, Papa.
I'm not Papa!
I'm your goddamn father!
Buon giorno, Mama.
She's your goddamn mother.
What'd you do? Win again?
The victory, she was easy.
that the Italians will be here soon.
I will race with the best-
italianos.
Like the nightingales, they sing.
Like eagles, they fly.
Speaking of flies, you brought
a hell of a lot in with you.
Fly in Italian is mosca.
In English it's pest.
Speaking of pests-
lsn't this a lovely trophy?
Look.
Oh, yeah.
So what?
I lived 50 years,
I never got a trophy.
You never got a trophy?
Nope,l never got one.
I give you this one. You
are numero uno, King Papa.
Don't do that.
I have to take a shower.
,/3/'[ Figaro ]
There's that lty music again!
I'm gonna have this out with him now!
.R.r [ opera 1
What's the matter?
He's shaving.
Well, so what?
His legs.
He's shaving his legs.
Figaro
Fi... garo'
Figaro, Figaro, Figaro, Figaro J'.i'
Yoo-hoo. [ Moocher] Nancy.
I was just on my way to work.
Come on in.
You know what?
No. What?
L'm leaving home, that's what.
What?
Where are you going?
About five blocks south.
Oh.
I found this nice little place
to rent.
It's so cute I could scream.
Scream.
My folks said I could have some of
their furniture from the basement.
All right!
[ Inhaling, Exhaling ]
Maybe you could
give me a hand... moving.
Oh, sure.
If I'm not too busy, you know?
- How's the job?
- You know what?
Frank said if I keep up the good work,
it'll just be a matter of time
before I become head cashier.
That's great.
Well, I should go now.
Nancy. Uh...
I think I'll walk you to work.
I'm going out that way anyways.
It gets 30 miles to the gallon.
Of course,
the mileage you get may vary.
It's a beaut, right?
Right.
Boy, you sure
know how to pick 'em.
Frankly, this is the best car on the lot.
Quality product.
