of your things.

You're like me.

What makes you think the guy

isn't serious about her?

I don't know. She... she

didn't want to talk about it.

I'm a fireman,

you know, I know men.

I can hear these

guys on the phone

stringing these girls along.

I'm telling you,

even if she's ready

this guy hasn't

stepped up to the plate

and she doesn't

think he's going to.

I wonder why she didn't tell me.

Oh, she didn't really

tell me, it just kind of...

slipped out,

and then she was sorry it did.

She's always been so secretive.

Not when she was little.

She was really open

when she was little.

Yeah. She was.

I wonder what happened.

Who knows?

Uh-oh. Potato chips?

Bad time at the old homestead?

It was okay.

You didn't have the traditional

fight with your sister?

No, but we came close.

She told everyone

I was dating a married man.

Oh, and your brother didn't

try to fix you up again?

He did.

With a very cute guy this time.

I need to talk to you.

Well, I hope you

want to talk about

getting another roommate in here

because I don't think

I can afford this place

much longer if we don't.

No, that's not it.

I've decided...

I want to get married.

Wow.

And have a family.

I never thought

I would hear you say that.

What happened?

I was talking with my dad

tonight and the things he said

it... it made me realize

how much I'm missing.

Did you tell him

who you want to marry?

No.

Well, don't you think

you should tell them

you're marrying me

before the ceremony?

Marian's daughter

is back in rehab.

Son-in-law disappeared and

they have the grandchildren.

Poor Marian.

It's her own fault,

she never put the time in.

We've been lucky

with our kids, Ellen.

It wasn't luck.

It was hard work.

Who else is gonna

teach them right from wrong?

This would look

good on Anne. I'll get two.

How are she and Frankie doing?

Oh, the same,

and she has to put up

with that family of his too.

That girl's

got her crosses to bear.

Has Karen found a job?

Oh, not yet.

It's hard with two kids.

I said I'd take care of them,

but she is a good mother.

She wants to be with them.

What about Bobby?

Well, he can't take

a job while he's trying

to raise money

to open his own repair shop.

It takes all his energy.

But at least they

are a happy couple

and that's the most

important thing. How's Jenny?

Jenny's fine.

And I think

she's finally found someone.

- No! Is it serious?

- I think it is.

She said she wants to

talk to us about something.

Then it's serious.

The guy's a bum,

that's all I know.

How do you know that?

Because we haven't met him.

What kind of guy doesn't want to

meet his girlfriend's family?
