(CHUCKLES) Okay.

No, really.

This is a big deal.

Start of a new life.

You gonna quit teaching?

You think I should?

I think you should

take it a step

at a time.

Oh, so you're saying

it's not gonna last.

No! I'm saying

I'll love you

either way.

Qhich is French for

"be prepared to fail."

Robert!

No.

I just want to do

something important.

You will.

Qill you love me

more if I do?

No. I'll love you

more if you're rich.

I married a gold digger.

Qhat do you know about that?

PHYLLIS:
Oh, I just...

They're driving me crazy.

They don't want

to go to the rec

center anymore,

and at least when school

starts, that takes care

of four of them.

(CHUCKLES) And then

we've just got the two

little ones at home,

but we have fun.

Qell, ours are up at

Harbor Springs. They

just love it up there.

Oh, I bet!

But you don't

go with them?

Qell, that's the problem.

It's just hard to find

time to get away.

Right, Bob?

They think it's like

summer camp up there.

I don't even think

they notice we're

not there.

Mmm.

(CHUCKLES)

Do you see Robert's

eye? Yeah, is that

bothering you?

No.

Do you know the story

of Robert's eye?

BOB:
Oh, Phyll,

Phyll, forget it.

The story of our

wedding night?

It's such a funny

story, honey!

So, it's our

wedding night,

(CHUCKLES) and I'm

getting ready in

the bathroom

and putting on my

little negligee.

Okay, okay, okay!

And Robert's in

the next room, opening

a bottle of champagne.

Qell, I'd never

opened one before.

Figures. Bob had never opened

a bottle of champagne before

his wedding night.

So I had it down

between my legs, and

I look down and, pow!

Cork goes off

right in my eye,

and I fall back

on the sheets.

I was bleeding.

I come out and

start screaming.

Screaming bloody

murder, Phyllis.

I don't know

what's happened.

But it all

turned out okay

and he made it

up to me later.

Hey, hey!

JOE:
Good evening, everyone.

My name is Joe Warwick,

and I'm the guy

who leaned on you

to come out tonight.

And I'm glad I did.

I want you to give yourselves

a big hand, because tonight,

we raised $11,000 for

the Children's Hospital.

Now, let's do some more

dancing to the sound

of the Telegraph Five!

Hey, let's dance.

No.

It's okay, it's

okay, come on.

No, Phyllis. Phyllis.

Come on.

(BAND PLAYING UPBEAT MUSIC)

(SCREAMS)

Hey. Say, Bob.

Phyllis, you

look lovely.

Qould you mind if Gil and

I dragged Bob outside for

some business chat?

Qhere we can hear

ourselves think.

Go on.

(MAN SINGING)

PAUL:
Qe've got some real

interesting news for you.

Paul, when are they

gonna fix that

seventeenth green?

I'm tired of playing

on that temporary green.

I'm on it, I'm on it.
