"Ow!" "Hey, hey!" "£­ Keep still." "£­ Hey, come on." "Try a little sensitivity here." "Too bad you're not a horse, we could shoot you." "All right, let's get going." "Hello, Raymond." "Your father's ruined everything." "What?" "What happened to you?" "I was bringing the suitcases down." "The bum knee popped out again." "You're so clumsy." "That's the thanks I get for blowing my knee out in Korea making the world safe for your mother." "You told me you slipped off a massage table in Tokyo." "Nevertheless." "What about the cruise now?" "Okay." "Well, thanks." "Mom and Dad are screwed." "Can't reschedule, and we can't get our money back." "Why not?" "Because the discount package you made us get them does not permit changes." "Oh, we can't go." "You happy now, Tiny Tim?" "£­ l'll go, I'll go." "£­ No, no." "I'll go." "I'm going." "No, Dad!" "Ma, you could go by yourself." "Call one of your friends." "Call Lee."

"I couldn't bear to go alone." "Ma, this is a deluxe weekend cruise in Bermuda." "This is once in a lifetime." "This is non£­refundable." "I'm sorry. lt was a lovely gesture really." "And we want to pay you back for the whole thing." "Hey!" "No, Ma, you wanna go." "I want you to go." "Come on." "What's it gonna take to get you just go?" "I don't know." "No." "Ma, look£­£­ Debra would never let me do that." "Now that would be a real present." "Ma, I would love to go but£­£­ that wouldn't be fair to Robert." "No, no." "I don't mind." "I think it's fair." "In fact, it's more than fair." "It's funny." "Then, Robert, you can stay home and take care of your father." "Also funny." "Oh, Raymond!" "This day started out so good." "Wow, did you do that yourself?" "They're coming!" "Oh, look how cute this is." "This is the deluxe package?" "All right, look." "I want to get mad but I don't think I can fit another emotion in here." "Oh." "I'm gonna bring Debra back one of these shower£­caps to thank her for letting me have you for the weekend." "Yeah, the one thing she lets me do." "Oh, look how adorable this little toilet is." "Oh, that's great." "They stuff you full of food then they give you baby's first potty." "Come on, let's just get the hell out of here." "£­ Single file!" "£­ No, no, no." "We're gonna have a wonderful time." "Yeah?" "How do you figure?" "Well, for one thing, we're gonna spend the whole weekend together." "We can talk." "You and me, just talk." "Oh, Raymond, thank you for this lovely trip." "Knock, knock." "Oh, hi."

"She really is my mother." "Tell him you're my mother." "Oh, honey, look." "Origami!" "What did you write there?" "I'm telling you the truth." "It doesn't really matter." "We're at sea." "You have a grand time, you two." "Lunch!" "It's about time." "I'm starved." "What?" "You£­£­ you're not limping." "Oh yeah." "Uh£­£­ lt's a miracle." "£­ Dad?" "£­ Honest." "I was watching one of those religious channels." "I pledged five bucks." "Praise the Lord!" "You faker!" "The moaning and groaning and flopping on the couch." "Pretty good, huh?" "What kind of a person are you?" "I'm a very smart person." "Marie will be much better off without me anyway." "And what are you complaining about?" "You're free to go." "Everybody gets what they want." "I guess." "Everybody except Raymond." "God bless that magnificent bastard!" "Let's eat!" "Now this is what I call a vacation." "Three days of sitting in front of the Tv eating, napping on the couch, soaking in my new hot tub." "Nobody nagging at me£­£­" ""Frank, take out the trash."" ""Frank, cover your mouth when you burp."" ""Frank, that's no place for a Q-tip."" "I'm free!" "I'm footloose and fancy-free!" "Oh, oh, oh." "Come on, you've got the part!" "I'm not kidding."

"Waffle bar, omelet bar, tostada bar." "Now I'm doing clam shots." "Raymond, so many clams." "You should try the crab cakes." "£­ Had 'em." "£­ And the little eclairs£­£­" "Had 'em!" "I'm amazed at how much I can get done in the morning without your father." "I played bridge, I jazzercised." "And look, origami." "Mr. Sasa thinks I have natural talent." "£­ What's this made out of?" "£­ Paper." "Oh!" "And tomorrow we're making lotus blossoms." "You should come." "No, I don't know, Ma." "Some scuttlebutt about a pie buffet." "And bingo starts at 4:00." "Oh, see, but I'm hanging myself at 3:00." "Come on, it'll be fun." "At least you can sit with me for a little while." "£­ Nah." "£­ Marie, Marie."

"She says it's important to remember you're not just his lover, you're his best friend." "She's so smart." "Thank you, Marie." "Oh, anytime, sweetheart." "And I'll see you at Tai Chi, okay?" "You told her you and Dad were best friends?" "I also told her that childbirth isn't that painful." "She's on her honeymoon." "She's got the rest of her life to be disappointed." "£­ Okay, smile, you two!" "£­ Oh!" "That's a keeper, yes." "We put these on display on the Lido deck." "I think you put that one on the poop£­deck." "So, uh... what are you and Mom up to this afternoon?" "You know, she really is my mother." "I wanted to play bingo, but I'm not sure Raymond is up for it." "You know, several of our cruisers have told me they would love to share a bingo card with you, Marie." "That is if Raymond doesn't mind." "Well, why would I mind?" "She's my mother!" "Well then, fantastic." "We'll set it right up." "£­ Oh hi, Walter!" "£­ Marie, how are you, my dear?" "£­ This must be Raymond." "£­ Hey." "Hello. I got to know your mother this morning over bridge." "Nimble." "Nimble mind." "Of course I don't have to tell you that." "Oh, Walter, stop." "Yes, Walter." "Stop."

"We're a bunch of merry widows." "£­ Right, Marie." "£­ That's us." "I'll see you later." "Merry widows?" "Yes, all their husbands are dead." "But you're not a widow." "HowcanIbe what I ain't?" "Ican't" "Sayno." "Thanks." "I appreciate your help." "I know there's a lot of other things you'd rather be doing." "That's okay, Dad, I understand." "The important thing is we got you there in time." "Damn calzone." "Robert?" "You're not going to believe this." "What?" "Again?" "All right, come on." "£­ Hurry." "£­ Okay." "Grab the newspaper." "Oh yeah." "Ring a bell and the whole world comes running." "I'm done." "Help me out of this thing." "I got your macaroni and cheese on the stove." "I gotta stir it, 'cause you like your cheese evenly distributed." "Now, please." "That's it." "What are you doing?" "What's the big idea?" "I'll get you out when I'm good and ready." "£­ l'm ready now." "£­ But I'm not." "I am the father." "You are the son." "The son must serve the father." "Oh yeah?" "You want to be served?" "All right, I'll serve you." "But first, I'm gonna cook you." "What are you doing?" "Robert." "Oops." "I didn't think you'd be up." "Do you have any idea how late it is?" "I don't know, but who cares?" "We're at sea." "£­ Where have you been?" "£­ With my friends." "We sang "Carousel"" "and practically all of "Fiddler on the Roof."" "I was Tevye." "Friends who?" "Those merry widows?"

"I'm not saying you can't." "I'm just saying it's a little... hard to watch." "I didn't know you were paying any attention." "You seemed so busy trying to get on all the buffet lines." "Gotta get there early or they get picked over." "Stop eating." "Stop eating?" "See, you've never said that to me before." "Come on, let's go dancing." "No, no, I don't wanna dance." "I'm not a dancer." "All right then, I'll see you later." "Wait, Ma." "Don't you think you're overdoing it a little?" "Huh?" "Take it easy." "Take a break." "Come on, we'll get something to eat here." "Look, room service." "I've got a tab running." "I don't wanna stay in the room." "It's too small." "What's so special about those people out there?" "Nothing." "They're just very nice." "They think I'm fun." "They think I'm interesting." "They like doing things with me." "They like me." "I like you." "Oh, I know you do, Raymond." "You know what?"
