To Die For

Here's what I found out.

That all of life is

a learning experience.

Everything is part of a big...

master plan.

But sometimes it's--

Well, it's hard to read.

It's like if you get

too close to the screen...

all you can see

is a bunch of little dots.

You don 't see the big picture

until you stand back.

But when you do...

everything comes into focus.

My name is Suzanne Maretto.

No, wait. I'm sorry.

Suzanne Maretto

is my married name.

My own name...

is Suzanne Stone.

That's my professional name.

It's not like I have any negative

feelings about the name Maretto.

Maretto is the name, after all...

of my husband...

who I loved...

very, very much.

Sorry.

It's also the name of his parents,

Joe and Angela Maretto...

and of his lovely and talented

sister, Janice Maretto...

who have been like

a second family to me...

and who I regard

as I do my own family...

particularly since

my recent tragedy.

I knew just through knowing

and being related to them.

They have given me what I think is

a very precious and valuable insight...

into the different kinds

of ethnic relationships...

that are part of the very things

that I've been trying to explore...

as a member

of the professional media.

First impressions in one word?

You really want to know?

Four letters, begins with C.'

Larry, it's a girl.

You ain't never seen one of them?

'Cold.'

Cold. C-O-I-D.

Yeah.

What did you think of Suzanne

when you first met her?

I just didn't get

the Suzanne thing.

All the girls around town

thought Larry was really cute.

I mean, Larry used to hang out

at the restaurant...

on the nights when my dad...

would let Larry

and his dopey rock band play there.

Just, you know?

Oh, Susie Q

I love you

I love the way you walk

I love the way you talk

I like the way you talk

I like the way you walk

Laura Risley, I remember.

Peggy Holden.

She was kind of a slut.

He could've had anybody,

basically, is what I'm saying.

I don't know. Suzanne-- blonde.

I don't know.

Well, yeah, sure,

I could've said some things.

Well, to tell you the truth,

I did say some things.

He's my brother.

But in a very subtle way.

What do you think

of Angela Raguzzo?

She's all right.

- She's hot.

- Why?

She wants you to ask her out.

Look, don't try and fix me up

with people. It's embarrassing.

All right.

What do you think of Dana Defalco?

You want me to go out

with a girl whose father's in the mob?

- Who says he's in the mob?

- Everybody.

So? Don't you want

a little excitement?

- I got all the excitement I can take.

- With who? The ice maiden?

You don't know

what you're talking about.

- I don't?

- No.

Inform me.

Well, it's none of your business.

But Suzanne,

she looks, you know...

very fragile and delicate, right?

But when we're--

I mean, when I'm--

I don't know why I'm telling you this.

Details are too graphic.

But let me just tell ya,

she's like--

She's like a volcano.

You mean people come from miles around

just to watch her explode?

- Is that it?

- Very funny.

Like Mount Saint Helens?

Man! When he says to me--

I'm gonna marry her.

Wait a minute. You what?

'You what?' I said.

And then he says--

I'm tellin' ya, sis, she's it.

- She's the golden girl of my dreams.

- Oh, God.

And I did one of these...

which I regretted right away...

'cause he looked at me with

that kind of doggy look that guys get.

I'm just kidding.

I'm kidding!

She can't even bowl.

Yes! Yes!

- Let me tell you something, all right?

- Yeah.

She's like--

She's like a delicate china doll.

You ever try kissing a doll?
