I escaped and I just robbed a liquor store.

Our last film is a remake of guess who's coming to dinner
starring Lisa Marie Presley and Michael Jackson.
♪[Music playing]
Lisa Marie, honey, who's your new girlfriend?
He's my husband.
Now, honey, you two don't go together,
just like whipped cream and pork chops.
Here's your pork chops and whipped cream, king.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Daddy, you don't like Michael just 'cause his skin's a different color.
No, it isn't.

I have a soft spot for this movie.

Hey!
And...Cut.
Listen, could I get out early today?
My sister's comin' for a visit and I've got to tidy up.
Hey, I'll come with you and give you a hand.
Good news, jelly-belly,
you've moved up to 5th in your time slot.
Nice to be here, ed.
I think you should know a little about my sister
before she gets here.
Let's just say she's like Satan with a boob job.
(Alice) My sister and I have never really gotten along.
Randa was better than me at everything.

Then she had the nerve to upstage me at my weddin'.
Only the bride is supposed to wear a wedding dress!
Oh! Silly me. I'll just take it off.
Mmm...
Eh... oh!

You'll know randa when you see her.
Bonjour, y'all.

This is New York. Now, I'm off to my job.

Hello, Alice.
I can see New York's done wonders for your appetite.
[Growls]
Jay sherman, this is my sister, randa.
Miranda tompkins, at your service.
Miranda's named after the heroine of the tempest.
I'm named after Alice kramden on the honeymooners.
We were both lucky compared to brother bisquick.
Now, if I can find a Porter...
Sir, pardon me. Might I ask...
Hon', if you're going to live here,
you're going to have to learn a few new languages.
Excuse me, but for another cab you could wait, maybe?
Here. Take and be healthy.
[Speaking foreign language]
My, what a perfectly...
Little apartment.
Mama, aunt randa's going to teach me
to giggle stupidly to make men do my bidding.
[Giggling]
[Growls] Oh!
Please, randa, lets not make this
any more like a streetcar named desire than it has to be.
[Imitating marlon brando] Alice. Alice!
What we got here is napoleonic code,
which means I get to eat as many napoleons as I can find.
[Laughing]
So, randa, what brings you to New York?
I'm here to catch a rich husband.
Jay, you look like you're riding pretty high on the hog.
No, well... Just take a look at the size of my wallet.
Isn't that your wallet on the table, there?
Ew!
Look, randa, you're a very attractive woman,
but I love Alice and nothing's going to change that.
Fine. I'll find myself a millionaire
with a less preposterous posterior.
[Slurring] Now, you must understand...
I only want you for your body.
[Laughing]
I like a man who likes the way I look.
You don't understand. I need a liver transplant
with a kidney chaser.
[Laughs]
God, I'm funny!
[Sighs]
What's wrong, date?
I get the feeling
you're not the least bit interested in me.
I think you're the most gorgeous creature alive.
Those lips... those eyes... That rugged 5:00 shadow...
The old maid at the table will pay my check.
Oh, pooh!
Vlada, you darling, little foreign man.
Come sit down and tell me how y'all are.
Sorry, pretty lady.
Vlada's souffle hasn't risen in years.
I don't know why Jay didn't mention
his rich Uncle sooner, Mr. sherman.
He sounds perfect for me.
Well, brother Hannibal is a bit touched in the head.
Oh, Hannibal?
Hello, randa. You look good enough to eat.
[Slurping]
[Screaming]
Now, that's fast food.
Anyway, Alice's birthday is coming up,
I'd like to buy her a present.
Uh-huh. I want to get her just the right thing.
You kissed her yet?
Yes.
Do you love her?
Yes.
Get a tattoo with her name in it.
That's what I did with my true love.
Unsettling, isn't it?
Very.
Alice, in honor of your birthday...
A diamond locket.
There's a picture of me inside.
Jay, honey...
Couldn't you have picked a more flattering picture?
No. Well, I love it.
You make me so happy.
Jay, I'm lonely. Come talk to me.
Randa, it's Alice's night.
Stop making yourself the center of attention!
Me? I ask you lovely people
am I making myself the center of attention?
Do you always have to hog the spotlight?
Can't you let...
Alice...
Who's sitting here with me, have one night?
What kind of a sister are you?
I will not be talked to that way.
[Sobbing]
I resent you hogging the spotlight
at the state of the union address.
But Hillary, honey, I'm the president.
Oh, you're right. I'm sorry.
[Sobbing]
God bless daddy and Uncle bisquick,
and please give momma the butt lift
aunt randa says she needs so desperately.
[Growls]
I am sick and tired of you livin' under my roof,
eatin' my food, and a-treatin' me like dirt.
Very well. I can do just fine
on the streets of New York by myself.
[Sirens wailing]
[Guns firing]
[Knocking on door]
Never insult the cheesecake at lindy's.
Randa, you can stay,
but tomorrow you're going out to get a job
and start earning your keep around here.
[Sighs]
All right, it's not like I'm going to find a millionaire.
I guess my life's not going to have
a fairy tale endin' after all.
Oh, hide me! I'm being chased by 3 bears.
There's a dispute over some porridge. Don't ask questions.
Oh, Jay, don't tease.
[Growling]
(Randa) Vlada, if I'm going to stay in New York,
I really need a job. Could I be your hostess?
Now, if you wish to be vlada's hostess,
you must know who is hot and who is not.

Now, if you want to work here at the New York post,
you must know that we insert
the following words into every headline:
"Headless," "nude," "sewage," and "governor."
For instance, "subway fares raised"

What about the fares?
You're fired.

Please, I've got to have this job.
All right. You're hired, sweet cheeks.
Um... isn't that sexual harassment?
Actually, the New York supreme court ruled that it is not.
Hey, baby, I got something under my robes for you.
Hey, how'd you like to bang my gavel, sweetheart?
You want to see a learned hand?
Hah!

No. I will not give you the chance to upstage me

Please, Alice, this is my last chance at happiness.
