Get off my back!

Boy, if your mother

had lived,

she would be so horrified

at the way you turned out,

If my mother had lived,

I wouldn't have

turned out this way,

so horrible and such

a disappointment to you!

Ooh!

[Classical Music Plays]

Tony, I'm telling you,

Stallone only eats egg whites,

It's pure protein,

[Knock On Door]

Hang on a second,

Melanie, what's up?

I did it,

I moved out,

I'm free,

Lemme call you

back,

Help me with my stuff!

Huh?

I feel like celebrating

and hitting the town!

Where's that Ferrari?

Uh, Tony needed it,

This is so perfect!

I shoulda done this

a long time ago,

You and me,

starting our lives together,

Doesn't it just

feel right?

Uh, yeah,

So how long

are you gonna stay?

Forever!

Oh, God,

Mel is my hope,

She is the smartest

and the cleverest

of all my grandchildren,

Ever since

their mother died,

I have done nothing

but be there to help them

and to love them

and to try to instill values

that I thought were important, and...

Don't you have

a real cup?

I'm sorry, I don't,

And now I'm

losing her,

I see,

What about

the children's father?

Oh, Flap, no,

My goodness, no,

Flap is not

father material,

Flap,

He wasn't husband

material, either,

Flap is not

human material,

He didn't

abandon them, really,

Flap is just

very weak,

He lives

in Santa Fe,

So there's been no,,,

father figure at all?

Well, actually,

there have been a few,

I was involved several years ago

with a former general,

His name is

Hector Scott,

He was a father figure

to Melanie,

And... And we broke up,

Years ago,

But he still continues

to terrorize me on a daily basis,

Mmm,

[Sniffs]

[Sighs]

And then many, many,,,

many years ago,

I, um...

My next door neighbor

was Garrett Breedlove,

The astronaut,

The astronaut,

[Laughs]

Oh, God,

Well,,, Garrett Breedlove

possessed every single quality

that I find repellent

in men,

But it worked,

For a while, it worked,

Oh, the boys adored him,

Melanie, well,,,

she was too young,

And then he moved away

to, uh, Minneapolis,

Milwaukee, or,,,

whatever,

This was a man

who orbited the Earth,

And now he's married

with a family,

Well, I just can't

picture that,

Garrett was never very comfortable

around children,

He only liked

dating them,

Who was the great

love of your life?

Oh,,,

I haven't met him yet,

Mmm,

Well, Mrs, Greenway,

your situation

is hardly unique,

You've obviously

spent your whole life

thinking

only of others,

It's so true,

You've neglected

yourself,

I know,

You are so bright,

Just call 'em

like I see 'em,

Well, I have

neglected my life,

That's obvious,

Well,,, it's been

so fast,

It's all so fast,
