the inspirational millionaire...

with all the houses and yachts.

You know?

Sounds pretty serious.

Serious? Pop, I sold my drums.

- You sold your drums?

- Yep.

And he did.

He sold his drums...

And he did.

He sold his drums...

and he turned himself

right around...

just for her.

The veil Suzanne wore...

she had copied

from a picture in a magazine...

the exact same one

Maria Shriver wore at her wedding.

Larry, he was so proud, you know...

'cause Suzanne designed

the wedding rings...

all by herself.

You want me

to describe them for you?

They were round, and gold.

I mean, big f***in' deal.

Come on, Suze, let's go!

I'll still never find

a guy like you, Dad.

What?

We got a postcard from Suzanne...

every single day

that they were on their honeymoon.

And it very much surprised us

that they went to Florida...

because Suzanne was never one

to lie around the beach.

But Larry was very much

into boatlng and fishing...

and I think she just wanted

to make him happY.

- That's a pretty lady you got there.

- Yes, sir.

We've been married for four days

and 18 hours.

I wouldn't let her

out of my sight for very long.

Well, she can't go in the sun.

It's not good to tan

when you're on TV.

What show is she on?

Have I ever seen her?

Not yet, but you will.

Hi, honey.

Did you miss me?

Did you dream about me, baby?

It must've been a...

pretty successful honeymoon,

because when they came back they were--

- Radiant.

- Exactly. Radiant.

Larry took the money he was saving in

case he wanted to go back to college...

and put a down payment

on that condo at the Heights.

And he bought her

that pretty little Mustang.

- Hi. How are you?

- Come in!

All right. Come on.

So you thought Larry changed a lot

after he and Suzanne were married?

Totally! It was like suddenly

he went from Van Halen...

to Jerry Vale overnight.

She didn't have any--

She thought

she had taste, but--

Barquettes with leek chiffonade.

This is the dish that they serve...

in Johnny Carson's

favorite restaurant in Hollywood.

Well, hey, if it's

good enough for Johnny--

Well, was that

some meal or what?

I say Julia Childs

better watch her back...

or she'll be looking

for another job.

Well, I won't be doing this

every night.

I'm planning on starting this exercise

class so I can get rid of a few pounds.

From where? Your feet?

- On TV the camera adds five pounds.

- Is that true?

I didn't know that.

Did you know that?

Talking about exercise,

I gotta go.

I got a rehearsal...

at some god-awful hour

all the way over in Norwalk.

- What are you rehearsing?

- Janice has a job in the lce Follies.

They're going on tour in September.
