The Nanny s06e06 Episode Script

And you know, I never gave Maxwell a wedding gift, and since the days of me sleeping in my own room are over Thank God! So I was thinking, why not turn it into his very own home gym, huh? That's good.
Keep him strong and healthy.
Men who marry the Fine women tend to die young.
Why is that? 'Cause they want to.
Anyway, I got this amazing contractor.
Wait until you girls see what's being done in here! Oh, my God! What are you doing here? Well, I thought you were going to be out shopping all day.
Well, I finished early.
I'm good at it.
What you said you were going to be in bed all day! Sylvia, Yetta, do you have to stand there? No.
I can't believe you're doing this.
What must you have been thinking? That we wouldn't get caught? Fran, I just turned 21.
I'm an adult.
Well as an adult I should advise you that you better get your tushie out of bed before your daddy comes home and kills you! Hi, I'm nana.
And you know whose fault this is going to turn out to be, don't you? Mine.
Why? Because I'm the one that said you were an adult.
I'm the one that said you were responsible.
I'm the one that told him to trust you.

Great.
All right, how much have I missed? Have any trust funds been cut off yet? Would you just get out of here? - Everybody out! - Oh, but, Dad! This Now! Out.
Out.
Out! - I'll be in the kitchen.
- Well, there's a shocker.
Honey, honey, let's just calm down.
Maybe we should go sit around the table, have a little coffee, a little cake Not now! I think I know what you're going to say.
- I want you out of my house.
- Yep, that's what I thought.
Care to explain yourself, young lady? Well, Fran said that whatever we do in our own apartment, we could do here.
Why don't you just feed me to the sharks, why don't you? Miss Fine, in my office.
Right now.
Great.
Now I'm back to Miss Fine.
Thank you very much, young lady.
Oh, yes, good afternoon.
I'm calling about your add for the '93 BMW? Yes, well, the car sounds wonderful.
Oh, you think I sound sexy, eh? Well, I've got wavy black hair, hazel eyes, oh, I'm about 6'2".
What about you? I'm a petite strawberry blonde.
Oh, I like moonlight, Burt Bacharach and leather.

Listen, I don't agree or approve of what she did either, but she is 21 years old, and she does love the guy.
If she loves him, she can wait.
We waited five years.
You know, that's a little bit of a sore spot with me.
I cannot believe you gave them permission to do that.
And in our house! I did not.
You know, you're just upset because you saw them.
Yes, well, you're right.
Didn't care for that.
Sweetie, you must have assumed that they would Assuming isn't knowing! Assuming means you could be wrong! People were assuming we were having sex when you were my nanny and they were wrong.
Again, a sore spot.
Look, I want you to talk to Margaret and forbid her from having any more.
Oh, okay, honey.
And while I'm doing that, why don't you schlep Opie to Floyd's for a haircut? Please, would you just go and talk to her? Oh, okay.
Okay, but I'll tell you, it's going to be pretty difficult for me to tell her she can't do something that I recently discovered is just so amazing.
I don't care.
Thank you.
I don't care! Oh, come on, it was just a joke.
What do I have to do to get you to sell me your car.
Well, it's a little embarrassing, but would you consider being a workout partner for someone who's trying to get back to a size four? Back to implies she was there once.
What would I have to do? Well, all you'd have to do is hold her legs while she does sit-ups, support her when she does squats, block the perspiration from her cleavage.
I could handle that.
It's a deal.
I hope it'll be as much fun for you as it is for me.
First thing, could you help me get into this? Oh, there you are.
Where have you been? Michael's.
Your father wants us to talk about what happened between you and Michael yesterday.
And I just want you to know, honey, that, as your mother, you can share with me anything and everything.
Well, that wasn't the first time that Michael and I Don't over communicate, sweetie.
Now come on, the important thing is that you have to talk to your father.
But before that happens, we're going to give you a little makeover, and turn you into the Maggie that he wants to see.
The sweet, young, sexually non-active Maggie.
Fran, I really don't think that this is a good time.
Oh, honey, don't be scared.
You'll just march yourself right in there and open with, "Daddy, your last play was so funny.
" Then, you're going to apologize and as you skip out, it wouldn't be a bad idea to hold onto that.
Fran, I really need to talk to you.
Okay, sweetie.
But just do you think that you can squeeze into this? Fran, I think I'm pregnant.
Oh, well then this definitely won't Fran? Fran! Fran! Nice rug.
Fran, please, I need you, you have to get up! Oh.
Oh! Oh, honey, you know, next time you tell me that you think you're pregnant, could you do it on carpeting? - Fran, what am I going to do? - Well, are you sure, sweetie? - I all I know is that I'm late.
- Well, how late? About a week.
Now when you say, "about a week", how many days do you mean? 5? 6? - Eleven.
- Oh, my God! - Didn't you use protection? - Well, of course I did.
Well, you obviously didn't buy quality.
Don't you know that is the one thing you pay retail for? Fran, what am I going to do? I mean, who would have thought that daddy would be right? Oh.
You know what, honey, let's not go there unless we absolutely have to.
Oh, Dad, I'm so sorry.
Thank you so much.
I'm never going to do it again.
- Excellent work, sweetheart.
- Thanks.
- Hi, Mom.
- What do you mean by that? Oh, you meant me.
Oh, he meant me.
Good to see you, son.
Okay, now, the first thing that we've got to do is buy a pregnancy test.
Who's pregnant? Oh, um, oh, Yetta, you've got to promise me you're going to forget everything you just heard.
Don't worry.
It goes in one ear and I think we're safe.
Did you get the test? Okay, so let's see here.
It says if you're not pregnant, it'll turn pink.
If you are pregnant, it will turn blue.
As will we all.
Oh, honey, this wouldn't have happened if you had just listened to me.
Fran, you said I could do whatever I wanted in our own house.
Whatever, not whoever.
Fran, I'm so nervous.
Oh, sweetie, listen, whatever happens, don't worry.
You're not going to have to go through this by yourself.
- I'm so glad that I have you.
- I love you.
But you know, I don't want to put pressure on you or anything, but, if for some reason you are pregnant, life is going to change forever.
No husband, no house, no money.
And it ain't going to be a picnic for you either.
( Knock on door ) I'm putting on my makeup.
God, that'll take a month.
I want my money back.
Your car is a piece of junk and it smells like some animal died in the trunk.
Ooh! Oh, no, he's at the vet, he's at the vet.
Sorry, buster, the check is cashed, the car is yours.
That was my life's savings.
Oh, Niles, I had no idea.
( laughs ) It looks kind of mauve.
Well, we still have a minute left.
( Knock on door ) Um, you know what, I'm still freshening up.
Darling, I had to come back and finish what you started.
So why don't you open the door and we can freshen up together? Not now, sweetie.
- What is going on in there? - Nothing, nothing.
( Dings ) - What was that? - Um, a ding? Fran, would you open the door now? Oh, what do I have to do to get a little privacy around here? Lock the door? Why is my daughter holding a pregnancy test? You know, there could be so many reasons.
Let me see here.
Well, suppose you give me one of those reasons right now! ( Shouting ) Sweetheart.
Your father thinks that we should go to the gynecologist and find out for sure.
Oh, and, sweetie.
Next time, lock the door.
Fran, Maggie, welcome to my new examining room.
Ribbons and Lace.
Wow, this place is gorgeous.
I'll tell you, it's a lot different from my old gyno's office, but then again, how do you give a former car wash glamour? May I offer you gals a cookie? Uh, no, thanks, Doctor.
Oh, look at this.
They're shaped like giant Midol's.
How clever! I bake like a banshee during my time of the month.
Well, Maggie, here you go.
Ooh, is that stunning! I paint on silk on the weekends.
- Here you go, honey.
- Thanks.
Uh, Fran? You're gonna stay in here with me, right? Of course, baby, I'm not going anywhere.
I'll be here the whole time.
Go change.
Oh, the poor kid is so nervous.
Doc, do you have any idea when you're going to find out the results of the tests? It'll be under 20 minutes.
And while you wait, I have videos of the Lilith Fair.
They're pretty.
Oh, look at this, you keep your instruments in a bun warmer.
How considerate! Oh, boy, I'll tell you, I'm so happy that Maggie is in such good care, because I'll tell you I am like a nervous wreck.
Now what can we do to make Fran feel better? I'll tell you, I could use a glass of wine.
Well, I have a dry merlot or an open chardonnay.
Maggie's test result should be ready in just a few minutes.
Oh, good.
Oh, Doc, is that you with Hillary? Oh yes, she comes to see me once a week.
Isn't that a little bit often? Well, wouldn't you, if he was your husband? Oh, dear.
Now while we're waiting, I'd like to ask you a few questions.
Have you been feeling fatigued at all? Who wouldn't be exhausted after what I've been through? Oh, you meant her.
Go ahead, sweetie.
I don't feel tired.
Have you felt a little light-headed or nauseous? Oh, well, if you are, you might have gotten that from me.
Ever since I came back from the island, I have had a low-grade nauseousness.
You know what I'd like to do? I'd like to focus on Maggie for just a moment.
Now, Maggie, have you had any cravings? Uh, no, not really.
Okay, no cravings.
I have Miss Sheffield's results, Doctor.
Just as I suspected.
Your tiny little figure is going to remain intact.
- I'm not pregnant? - You're not pregnant.
Oh, my God! Oh, sweetie, you're not pregnant.
Oh, my God, are you lucky.
Oh, honey, I beg of you, remember how this felt.
I know that you're old enough to make your own decisions, but, sweetie, there are just some consequences I don't think you're ready for.
- I love you, Fran.
- I love you too, angel.
Very nice.
- I'm going to go call Michael.
- Okay.
I'll meet you out there.
Oh, God, Doc, I am so relieved I can't tell you.
Before you go, come back to me.
I'd like to focus on Fran for just a little bit.
Oh, why? Well, fatigue, light-headedness, nauseousness.
Oh, my God, doc, are you thinking that I might be pregnant? Oh, my God! - Excuse me.
- Yeah? Would you happen to know who owns that BMW with the 'For Sale' sign? What's it to you? Oh, well, I am a collector.
I will pay top dollar.
What if I were to tell you that I sold it to a dear friend of mine who needs the car desperately? Well, what if I were to tell you I'll double what he paid for it? Money talks, butler walks.
- Niles.
- Mm? You know, I have been thinking, and I feel so guilty about taking your life savings that I want to buy the car back.
Why are you being so nice? Can't I act like a compassionate human being? Uh, no.
There's got to be something up your sleeve, although I don't know how anything else would fit with that big wide arm in there.
- All right, just forget it then.
- No, wait, wait, I'm sorry.
I do want my money back, it's just that I'm not used to you being compassionate and nice to me.
Well, don't get used to it.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
- Where's Maxwell? - He's in the study.
- Oh! - Oh, Fran, my darling! Oh, I've got the most amazing news for you.
For us.
I already know.
Margaret called me from the doctor's to give me the good news.
- No, no, something else.
- And I have to say: thank God.
Well, Margaret's much too young, and frankly I'm far too old.
Why, what does it have to do with you? Well, I'd insist on Margaret finishing college, and that means you know who'd be bringing up baby.
And we've only just got married.
I'm not ready to share you yet.
Oh no, the last thing we need right now is a baby running around the house.
Anyway, come on, tell me, what's your good news? Bloomingdale's is having a big shoe sale.
Oh, come here.
Yetta, why does everybody around here treat me like a baby? They won't tell me anything.
Yeah, what about me? People tell me everything and in two minutes I forget.
I'm sorry, Yetta.
It must be hard for you.
Oh, sometimes.
But sometimes it's a pleasure.
See, for instance, if I hear news that upsets me, ten minutes later I'm on top of the world again.
Thanks, Yetta.
For what? Giving me something to look forward to.
Aw.
I wish you were my great-granddaughter.
I am your great-granddaughter.
You are? You see? I'm on top of the world again! ( Jazz music playing )
