You're just saying you're sorry...
01:48
because you want this conversation to be over.
01:50
[ Deep Breath ] You're right.
01:53
You're right. We need some help communicating.
01:55
I think we should see a therapist.
01:57
Really? You would do that for me?

For us. - Oh, Stan.

Pisces? [ Laughing ]
02:48
My husband never wants to hear me out.
02:50
Instead of talking things through, he just pushes me off.
02:54
Don't worry. I'll fix everything.
02:56
Let's start with you, Francine.
02:58
I want you to feel completely relaxed.
03:00
Imagine warm liquid filling your body...

So, Stan, want me to give her the regular?
03:13
Yep, Sal. Time for her annual tune-up.
03:15
Ooh, mixed nuts.

There's quite a few things I'd like you to make her forget.

Every year on her dad's birthday.
03:25
There we go. There's the winner.

she talked about getting a puppy again.
03:32
Let's get rid of that.

she wanted to get a "subway map" shower curtain.
03:36
Need to nip that in the bud.
03:38
she wants me to start picking my shoes up off the floor.
03:41
she's also been grousing about the night I sleep-punched her.
03:43
And there's plenty more.
03:45
Oh, and, uh, while you're knocking around in there...
03:46
get her to love the films of Emilio Estevez.
03:49
How great is that guy?
03:51
He's a Sheen, he's from an acting dynasty...
03:53
yet he chooses to be Mexican.
03:55
Makes it huge, realizes people have had enough of him...
03:57
and is decent enough to fall off the face of the earth.
03:59
[ Howling ] Emilio!
04:02
No problem. - Do your magic.

And you want to discuss your parents moving to town...
05:11
but Stan won't talk about it.
05:12
Yes. How-How did you know?
05:15
Because you come over every year, say the same thing...
05:17
and pube up our hot tub.
05:19
I-I don't do that.

Honey, let's go see a therapist.
05:23
Oh, you'd do that for me?

[ Grunts ] - [ Groans ]
07:10
[ High-pitched Voice ] Emilio!
07:16
So instead of discussing things with me...
07:18
you take me to a hypnotist?
07:20
We could have gone to a real therapist and worked on our problems.
07:24
I don't like airing my personal business in front of an audience.
07:27
Though I do like using those steel pee troughs at the stadium.
07:30
I don't know if it's because it sounds like rain...
07:32
or it's just the sight of all those eager johnsons working together.
07:36
Stan! - Let's play hide-and-don't seek.
07:38
I'll hide in my plate room, and you don't seek me.

08:22
And we don't have a VCR anymore, so you'll have to take my word for it.

Hey! My Angela Lansbury workout.
08:39

Well, I've come to accept that I have the body...
08:43
of a postmenopausal, senior woman.
08:45
I do. I'm at peace with it.

Any other woman in the audience...
08:50

Why on earth would you make me forget I was a stand-up comedienne?
09:26
[ Laughing ] - You started working nights. It affected my schedule.
09:28
I talked to Sal about it, and he said I don't like change.
09:32
I have an aversion to it. An aversion.
09:34
Can you imagine how hard that's been on me?

10:23
Now about your career.
10:25
I'm flattered, but this all happened 20 years ago.
10:28
I might not be good anymore.

Good. We'll start with the stand-up/topless bar circuit...
10:46
and work our way up.
10:47
I have to perform topless?
10:49
You're not topless. The staff is topless.
10:51
You want to get noticed, your ha-ha's have to be bigger than their tatas.
10:58
Are you sure about all this?
11:00
Remember when Rudy from the Cosby Show got old and stopped being cute?
11:04
I brought them Raven-Symoné.
11:06
Saw her in a Philadelphia playground and knew she was a star.
11:09
Snatched her right up.
11:10
Six months later, her parents saw her on TV...
11:12
and realized she was still alive.
11:14
Did some time for that.
11:15
So, you ask, am I sure about this?
11:18
I don't know.
11:23
She's a terrible wife. She has no maternal instincts.
11:26
She can't be that bad.
11:28
She ate three of the children. - [ Gasps ]

It- It isn't? - No.
18:21
I just wanted to talk those things through.
18:24
I wasn't sure about 'em.
18:25
That's why I needed to discuss them with you.
18:28
Now that I see the kitchen purple, it looks terrible.
18:32
And those shorts make you look boxy.
18:34
And who knows— maybe I wouldn't like having an orgasm.
18:37
Whew! - [ Laughter ]
18:41
And as for my stand-up career...
18:43
if we had just talked it through...
18:45
you would have realized it didn't mean I would leave you.
18:49
You could have come with me.
18:50
There's a C.I.A. office out here in Los Angeles.
18:53
Oh, yeah. Never thought of that.
18:55
This is incredibly unprofessional.
18:57
[ Groans ]

[ Laughter, Applause ]
19:02
I'm really sorry, Francine.
19:05
This time, I can tell you really are sorry.
19:08
So I accept your apology.
19:12
[ Audience ] Aw.
19:14
Cut! Lightning in a bottle.
19:15
[ Snorting ]
19:17
Yes! Oh, there is no downside to this drug.
19:21
You guys want to go get some steaks at the Brown Derby?
19:25
[ Pops ]
19:27
I'd like to make a toast to Francine...
19:29
and to tonight's premier of White Rice.
19:32
It is going the distance.
19:33
That's what I told Meredith Baxter-Birney on the set of Family Ties.
19:37
That's when she was still a fan of the meat rod.
19:40
[ Glasses Clink ]
19:43
I can't wait to tell the kids about moving to California.
19:46
It's like a dream come true.
19:48
You deserve it, baby.
19:49
Quiet! The show's coming on.
19:51
[ Theme. Asian]
19:52
Hi Mah Mah. What's for dinner?
19:54
Eel in cow-eyeball sauce.
19:56
It called guck nu.

[ Male Announcer ] it's an all-new episode of Fits in the Hole.
20:06
Oh, my God!
20:07
Look how fat she is in that silver suit.
20:10
I don't think she's gonna make it.
20:11
Roger, what happened to White Rice? - Right.
20:14
It's probably just a programming mistake. - [ Beeps ]
20:16
Yeah, this is Sweeps.
20:17
Uh-huh. Aha!
20:20
Okay, thanks!
20:21
We've been canceled.
20:23
[ Chattering ] - [ Door Closes ]
20:25
After one joke?
20:27
Apparently the Asian community is iN an Uproar.
20:29
Oh, well. Can I borrow your belt and this chair?
20:34
Sweeps is dead! He hung himself.
20:37
No! - I never gave you my belt.
20:39
You didn't? Give it to me.
20:41
Sweeps is dead!
20:47
Okay, Bah Bah. Bye.
20:50
Wow. I can't believe my father's turning 70.
20:54
Stan, I really think we should talk about moving them to town.
21:00
Okay, let's talk about it.
21:03
I think it's a terrible idea.
21:05
[ Sighs ] Me too.
21:10
stan, I need to borrow your shovel.
21:47
Bye! Have a beautiful time.
