And I know what to do

to win him back!

"The art of winning back

your man...

Is easy with these surefire

economical, sexy recipes.

"The secret of

Chicken Vol-au-Vent...

Is a delicate, puff pastry.

The perfect appetizer

for this dish...

Is a smooth, seductive,

mushroom soup."

Gross!

Your father loves

mushroom soup.

We don't love it!

We are eating too, aren't we?

Yes, but tonight we want

to make your father very happy.

Why?

So he'll stay at home?

Was that...

Was that for real

or the wildest dreaming?

If this is a dream...

I don't ever want

to wake up.

Wow...

I know!

What are you doing now?

Oh, what are you now...?

What are you doing?

I got to go home!

Already?

Yeah... Myr parents

are coming home for dinner.

I didn't realize that you

were so domestic.

Come on, I got

to get home sometimes!

No!

You know you don't!

You don't ever

have to go back, Bob.

We fell in love!

It's no one's fault!

It's not your fault.

It's not my fault.

I know when you

married Ruth you...

You did it out of

for kindness, and pity...

And I love you for that...

But Bob now, please, please...

Be kind to me!

Be with me, stay with me,

live with me!

Mary...

I want to but it's not that easy!

I've got kids!

But they have their mother!

Ruth is blessed

with those children...

They're her pride and joy.

It's not fair!

What do I have?

My all life is so empty!

Don't you say that.

You've got me!

I'm tired of sharing

you with her!

Bob...

I don't think I can stand

that much longer...

I want all of you!

I know.

Damn, if I know.

Hey, daddy is home!

Hi, daddy!

Hi, princess!

Are you sleeping here tonight?

Of course I am, sweety pie!

Your grandparents are coming over,

we're going to have a nice family night.

That ought to be unusual.

Hey, Ruth, dinner

going to be ready on time?

Yes, yes, it will.

Hey, you were supposed

to be home an hour ago.

I could have used some help.

I'm sorry.

I got stuck in a meeting.

I'm going to jump

in the shower.

Oh, Jesus!

Ruth!

What the hell are you doing?

Oh, please...

Don't start now!

My folks are going

to be here soon.

I'm not starting anything.

I'm... going to weigh myself...

Yap!

No wonder you're upset!

Nothing's ready...

And they're here!

They're early.

They're always early!

Cheese and crackers,

that's it?

The flans ought to be ready

in ten minutes.

I'm doing

the best I can, Bob.

Please don't embarrass me

in front of my folks.

What are you doing

down there, son?

- I can't find my gerbil.

- Really?

Well, let grandpa

help you look for it!

- Robin!

- Got to be 'round here somewhere!

There she is!

I've got it, hon!

- Are you okay, dear?
