Grumpier Old Men Page #3

Synopsis: Things don't seem to change much in Wabasha County: Max and John are still fighting after 35 years, Grandpa still drinks, smokes, and chases women , and nobody's been able to catch the fabled "Catfish Hunter", a gigantic catfish that actually smiles at fishermen who try to snare it. Six months ago John married the new girl in town (Ariel), and people begin to suspect that Max might be missing something similar in his life. The only joy Max claims is left in his life is fishing, but that might change with the new owner of the bait shop.

You think everyone is tryin' to

steal the vino rosso!

They are!

This is a small town.

You can trust people here.

Like Antonio?

Next time he touch vino...

I whack his head like a melon!

Holy moly.

I'm so sorry.

Scusi!

My mother is a little bit

too protective of the wine.

So I noticed.

She pressed the grapes

herself back in Palermo.

It's a rare vintage with

a unique... bouquet.

Is that a nice way of saying that

the wine smells like your mama's feet?

No.

My name's Max Goldman.

I live in the area here.

Maria Sophia Coletta Ragetti.

That's quite a name.

You're Spaghetti Ragetti's cousin!

Why so surprised?

Holy moly.

I thought.... I was expecting

someone that looked like Rick.

How's that?

You know, fat, hairy, homely.

But you're not so fat.

You're a smooth talker.

There's more where that

came from, Miss Ragetti.

When is the bait shop

gonna be back in business?

Bait shop?

What's that?

That's what we call it in Minnesota.

What do you call it?

We call it, I think, ristorante.

Ristorante.

Restoranteh?

You mean you're going

to turn this into a restaurant?

No, you can't be serious.

Why not?

There's going to be a lot of

noise and people coming.

Driving with cars.

You'll scare the fish.

This is the land of 10,000 lakes.

Go find another one.

You're wasting your time, I'm telling you.

People are not going to come

down here for ltalian...

when we got a Chuck E.

Cheese in town.

Listen, I don't know

this Cheese person.

But Ragetti's will be a

romantic lakefront ristorante.

It will be special, classy...

... somewhere you

would never go.

You can say that again.

Via, via! There's so much to do before

the opening of my ristorante.

Bait shop.

Ristorante.

Bait-a shoppie.

- Ristorante

Ristorante! Capito!

Hai capito? Ristorante.

You should've let me whack him.

Yeah...

I'm done.

Pop, I wish you'd try

the low-fat bacon.

You can wish in one hand,

and crap in the other...

... and see which gets filled first.

This wagon's got to get filled first.

I'll be back.

Pick me up a pack of Camels.

All right, you got it.

You need a hand with that?

My name's Gustafson.

Il mio nome Francesca Ragetti.

My name is Francesca Ragetti.

Italian girl.

What do you say we go

back to my place?

I'll show you my cannelloni.

How you doing?

Fine.

Ox!

Nag!

Hey, moron.

Putz. Where you been?

I've been looking for you.

What's so important?

That.

Jeez Louise, who is that?

That's Spaghetti Ragetti's cousin.

You mean she's going

to run the bait shop?

Restorantee.

Forget about leaving your boat there.

It's all private property.

Chuck'd be spinning in his

grave if he knew about this.

You can say that again.
