Lovers and Other Strangers Page #5

What did you say?

Don't you talk about

the Marine Corps that way.

Okay. They're the biggest latent fags.

But they're not real men.

A real man is warm and understanding...

and tender, and gentle,

and loving, and sensitive, and-

And what's a woman?

A woman is strong,

and responsible, and brave, and-

And what? And what?

A woman is very...

I don't know what a woman is.

I don't see any difference

between us anymore.

At the wedding,

we'll rent an extra room for the kids.

By then I'll be a little rested.

We'll order some champagne.

It'll be like a second honeymoon.

How's that sound?

All right, honey.

Good night. Put the light out.

Remember, now you owe me three.

- Susan, you're...

- Rare.

- Wilma?

- Medium.

- Johnny?

- Same as mine.

Mother's is medium-rare,

and Kathy's is medium-rare.

Mike's I won't start till he comes.

Someday we're going to move to Florida

so I can barbecue all year round.

I don't understand...

why you can't put

the Trepannis with the Hendersons.

Because oil and water don't mix. Bernice,

the Trepannis are Italian, New York.

Hal's relatives are Irish, Bridgeport.

- Johnny, don't tire yourself. Take it easy.

- All right, guys. Come on. Let's go.

Boys, you're going to wear your father out.

- Son, how do you like yours?

- Charred.

Remember me?

- What's the matter?

- Ritchie's getting a divorce.

That's too bad. I'm sorry.

I said I was sorry.

What's that got to do with us?

If you don't get married,

you don't get a divorce.

Are you just going

to be uptight all the time now?

Maybe.

What do you want to do?

Call off the wedding?

- That's right.

- Go on just as we are?

Why not? It's been beautiful

for a year and a half.

- You mean it?

- Yeah, okay.

That's it. Let's go home.

Wait. There's just one thing.

- You see that man over there?

- You mean the Charcoal King?

That man is going

to get up tomorrow morning...

put on his striped trousers,

and wait for my mother...

who will be putting on her $900 dress

from Bergdorf Goodman.

And they will go together

to our family church...

to greet over 100 people who are

coming to see him give the bride away.

You're trying to make me look

like the bad one.

It won't work.

I owe you nothing, baby, you get it?

I'm not talking about me.

I'm talking about that man...

who has taken over

the Grand Ballroom of the Stoneridge Inn...

hired musicians, paid for 150 dinners,

I'll pay back every penny.

I've got about $20. Take it as a deposit.

Don't give it to me. Give it to him.

That's all you have to do.

I will. You're damn right I will.

- This charred enough for you, son?

- Mr. Henderson, I'm Phyllis.

- Who?
