It'll be great just to have you along.

- Rosie?

- I'm going to a party, okay?

- There's still all this work.

- I'll do it before we open.

Rose...

I promise.

Jesus God.

You look great.

Yeah?

Outstanding.

Thanks.

I'm really glad I decided to come.

Oh, great. Me, too.

It's nice to get away from the restaurant...

...from my mom.

I don't hate her or anything.

It's just, her whole life's the restaurant.

I don't want it to be like that.

I don't blame you a bit.

The Trouble with Mimi.

- Did you see this?

- I don't go to flicks much.

This kind of thing drives me crazy.

There are people right now, fighting

for their lives and for their freedom...

...while here we are watching this trash

which doesn't mean anything.

- Then why did you see it?

- My mom.

She loved it.

We don't agree on anything lately.

She's content, you know, living her life.

I don't want to...

I want to have an effect on the world.

I want to get out there and get involved.

You know, I'd like to join the Peace Corps...

...or maybe go down south

and help out there...

I don't know.

It's just so frustrating.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

- I'm really glad I decided to come.

- Me, too.

It's really nice to talk to someone.

It's really nice.

It is.

Big party!

Rose, you got really nice lips.

What?

You got nice lips. Are you wearing lipstick?

- Yes.

- Yeah?

It's kind of wearing down, I see.

- It is?

- A little bit. Got more?

- Should I put some more on?

- Sure.

Okay.

Let me try.

- Can I, please?

- Okay.

Eddie...

Hold still.

Eddie...

You put on lipstick about as good as I do.

You're supposed to put lipstick on the lips.

It's all over my...

It's all over my mouth now.

Wait. Maybe I can fix this.

It's all over the place.

There. That's fine, right?

Never mind. Forget about it.

You look fine.

You think I look okay?

It's all right.

"The Nitelite."

Wow. Looks like a pretty fancy place, huh?

Rose, this party's no big deal.

We don't have to go in...

I'd like to. Yeah.

We can go somewhere else

if you just want to dance.

That's okay.

All right, come on.

- There you go, buddy.

- Thanks.

Friend of yours?

Come on.

Good evening, Corporal Birdlace.

Good evening, ma'am.

Fine woman you got there, Corporal.

I'll be sure to include this in my report

to the inspector general.

- Thank you, sir.

- Good luck, Corporal.

Wait a second.

- I just want to...

- You look great.

- Really?

- Really. You do.

- Okay.

- Let's hit it.

You want a party? You got yourself a party.

- Hey, Birdlace!

- Hey, Zaworsky!

This is Rose.

- Hi, Rose.

- Hi, Rose.

Welcome to paradise, Corporal.

Thank you, Corporal.

- To the Four Bees!

- And their ladies.
