Tell me that's not a snake.

It's part of a snake.

A whole snake is too expensive.

- He eats that?

- He doesn't eat.

Well, Hilary, honey, bake him a ham.

- It sticks to the ribs.

- Ham has too much fat and too much salt.

You can get two or three dinners

out of it and some sandwiches.

I mean, your grandmother never ate

Chinese snake for lunch, for God's sakes.

- Or Aunt Elma, who lived to be what?

- 206?

92 years old, thank you very much.

And she smoked a pack of Luckies and

drank a pint of Scotch every day of her life.

God rest her soul. Did he pay you yet?

- He offered.

- Uh-huh. Uh-huh. And you said "Oh, it's OK."

And I'm not married and

Rosemary Kinsella has a Cadillac.

- Do you do his wash too?

- No, Mom, I don't.

The man weighs 14 pounds,

but I tell him "You want clean socks?"

"Get off your skinny ass

and wash them yourself. "

I just thought maybe you were a nurse

instead of a cleaning lady, that's all,

who makes a better wage

than I do, by the way.

And is it possible, is itjust possible, that he

wants a little more than a ham dinner, huh?

Huh?

Sorry. Is the music too loud?

No. May I come in?

Um, just a second.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Everything all right?

- Mm-hm.

You have something...

Oh.

Thanks.

Oh, did I say thank you for the other night?

You said "f***" a lot.

Well, thank you.

So, it's almost eight,

and you're not going out.

I mean, you could. You can. You're allowed.

You don't have to stay home.

It's not part of the deal.

- Thanks.

- But you're not.

So, um...

How about a date?

- Malachi.

- I let myself...

Let yourself in, yes.

- Shall I leave you two alone?

- It's not necessary, sir.

Your mail.

- And your news.

- Thank you for the personal delivery.

My pleasure, sir. One additional news item:

Your father returns at the end of the week.

And may I assume from the intense

odour of mayonnaise in the air

that you will be dining in tonight?

Actually, no. We're going out.

Aren't we?

Going out?

Sure.

We're going out.

Isn't it great? The Chronicle said

it was the best new place in town.

Best... Isn't this great?

It's great.

OK.

- Great. Thank you.

- Certainly, sir.

My mother said you don't have to

like everything, but to try everything.

Oh. My mother always said

"Pass the Velveeta. "

- What is it?

- Raw cow.

- Dead.

- What if I throw up?

Then I'll take care of you.

Go ahead.

- Carpaccio.

- Carpaccio.

- Isn't that great?

- It's great.

What do they, um,

charge for something like this?

I don't know. 30, was it?

30? Wow.

- Wow.

- What?

No, it's great. This place... is great.

It's not great, is it?

Victor, do you really wanna have some fun?

Hi!
