Lucy
- Lucy: [to a comatose Peter] Do you believe in love at first sight? Nah, I betcha don't, you're probably too sensible for that. Or have you ever, like, seen somebody, and you knew that, if only that person *really* knew you, they would, well, they would of course dump the perfect model that they were with, and realize that *you* were the one that they wanted to, just, grow old with? Have you ever fallen in love with someone you haven't even talked to? Have you ever been so alone you spend the night confusing a man in a coma?
- Lucy: [to Jack] Okay, um. What do you mean by the leaning thing? You mean because he gave me flowers?
- Jack: And then you *leaned*.
- Lucy: [matter-of-factly] And then I leaned.
- Jack: Yeah.
- Lucy: Okay, how did I lean when I leaned?
- Jack: [gesturing as he describes] It was a lot different from hugging. Hugging's very different. Hugging that involves arms and hands; and leaning is whole bodies moving in like this. Leaning involves *wanting*... and *accepting*. *Leaning*...
- Joe Jr.: Hey Luce! Is this guy bothering you?
- Lucy: [laughing] No, no.
- Joe Jr.: Are you sure? Because it looks like he's *leaning*.
- [Lucy sits in her booth taking tokens. Suddenly, a ring drops in, and she looks up in surprise to see Jack and the entire Callaghan family standing outside the booth]
- Jack: Lucy? I need to ask you a question.
- Elsie: Get down on your knee. It's more romantic.
- Saul: He's proposing. Let him do it!
- Elsie: I *am* letting him do it!
- [Lucy and Jack can barely contain their laughter]
- Jack: Can I come in there, please?
- Lucy: [playfully] I can't. Not without a token.
- [Jack drops in a subway token and goes into the booth, as his family whispers excitedly]
- Jack: Marry me?
- Lucy: Yeah. I love you.
- Jack: I love you back.
- Lucy: [as she walks toward her closed apartment door expecting to see Joe Jr. on the other side] Oh! I don't want any flowers from you, I am not wearing black underwear, and I definitely do not want to move in with you, Jo... Jack.
- Jack: [as Lucy sees Jack and not Joe Jr. as she opens the door] Well, I don't have any flowers, I wouldn't mind seeing the black underwear, but under the circumstances, I don't think we should move in together.
- Lucy: I thought you were Joe Jr.
- Jack: [sarcastically] I get that a lot.
- Lucy: [laughing] Do you wanna come in?
- Jack: Yeah.
- Lucy: Yeah?
- Jack: [seeing the dress hanging on her bodice from a clothes hanger draped over her neck] Yeah. Wow. So that's... wow, the wedding dress, huh?
- Lucy: Hmm?
- Jack: The wedding dress. It works good as a tie too.
- Lucy: Ow. Yeah.
- Jack: I just wanted to give you this before all the presents started to pile up. I was droppin' off some furniture in Little Italy. I look in a window, and...
- Lucy: [handing her a snow globe] Florence.
- Jack: Florence.
- Lucy: Thank you. It's really beautiful.
- Jack: And I wanted to say that I think that Peter... is a very lucky guy.
- Lucy: Thank you.
- Jack: I had to say that because you're gonna be my sister-in-law.
- Lucy: Ha, ha, ha, ha. Well, I guess we'll be seeing a lot of each other then.
- Jack: I better get goin'.
- Lucy: [going after Jack as he has already turned to leave] Yeah. Hey, Jack. Jack!
- Jack: [turning around] Yeah?
- Lucy: Can you give me any reason why I shouldn't marry your brother?
- Jack: Oh... I can't.
- [Lucy nods as Jack angrily leaves]
- [last lines]
- Lucy: [voice over] So I had planned to marry Peter, but... I married Jack instead. Thank goodness my father was right. Life doesn't always turn out the way you plan. But Jack... Jack gave me the perfect gift: a stamp in my passport. He took me to Florence for our honeymoon. I guess you might say he gave me the world. Peter once asked me when it was that I fell in love with Jack. And I told him, "It was while you were sleeping."
- Lucy: [trying to heave a tree up to her second floor apartment through the window] $45 for a Christmas tree and they don't deliver? You order $10 worth of chow mein from Mr. Wong they bring it to your door.
- Lucy: I have a house, and family, and things like that... not like I'm complaining or anything, because I have a cat, I have an apartment, sole possession of the remote control. That's very important. It's just, I never met anyone I could laugh with.
- Lucy: I'm having an affair. I like Jack.
- Jerry: Who's Jack?
- Lucy: Peter's brother.
- Jerry: So?
- Lucy: So he thinks I'm engaged.
- Jerry: To who?
- Lucy: To Peter.
- Jerry: Lucy, I really don't have time for this.
- Lucy: No, you have to tell me what to do.
- Jerry: Tell the truth.
- Lucy: If I tell Jack I lied to his family he will *never* speak to me again. And Ox and Midge and Mary and Saul.
- Jerry: Saul? Who's Saul?
- Lucy: The next door neighbor. But you know what? Actually, he knows.
- Jerry: Lucy, you are born into a family. You do not join them like you do the marines.
- Lucy: So what should I do?
- Jerry: Pull the plug.
- Lucy: You're sick.
- Jerry: I'm sick? You're cheating on a vegetable.
- [first lines]
- Lucy: [voice over over what starts as a Sepia tone flashback colored orange by the sunset] Okay, there are two things that I remember about my childhood - I just don't remember it being this orange. First, I remember being with my Dad. He would get these far off looks in his eye, and he would say, "Life doesn't always turn out the way you plan." I just wish I'd realized at the time he was talking about *my* life. But, that never stopped us from taking our adventures together. He would pack up our sometimes working car, and he would tell me *amazing* stories about strange and exotic lands as we headed off to exciting destinations like... Milwaukee. It's amazing how exotic Wisconsin... isn't. But my favorite memories were the stories that he would tell me about my Mom. He would take me to the church where they got married, and I'd *beg* him to tell me more about the ceremony and about my crazy Uncle Irwin who fell asleep in the macaroni and cheese, and I asked my Dad when he knew that he truly loved my Mom. And he said to me, "Lucy, your mother gave me a special gift: she gave me the world." Actually, it was a globe with a light in it, but for the romantic that he was, it might as well have been the world.
- Lucy: Wh.. why did you say that?
- Wanda: Say what?
- Lucy: I'm not his fiancée.
- Wanda: Why did you tell me that you were?
- Lucy: I'm not engaged. I've never even spoken to the guy.
- Wanda: What? Well, dow... downstairs, you said, you said you were gonna marry him.
- Lucy: Oh, geez, I was talking to myself.
- Wanda: Well, next time you talk to yourself, tell yourself you're single and end the conversation.
