The Nanny · Season 1
I think Mr. Sheffield would really like you to come with him when he takes the children to Hawaii.
It's always the same thing: Dancing in the moonlight, walking on the beaches then falling into bed wrapped in each other's arms.
Since when?
Since Gracie doesn't like to sleep alone.
Ms. Fine, you're telling me that you've taken a job on a soap and you're not coming home?... Well, of course, I'm shocked! They gave you a speaking part?!
You don't know what it is to be the only one of your friends who's not married.
Hello?!
And over 40.
Not a clue.
Ms. Fine, I'm not sure how much longer I can control my feelings for you.
Er... Wait three to four seconds and let 'er rip.
I've been killing myself all week trying to drop a pound. How does Mr. Sheffield keep in shape?
Running from commitment.
What's [Mr. Sheffield] doing in London?
One would hope Ms. Fine.
Miss Fine I can't, I'm sorry I just can't
Mr. Sheffield Is there something you haven't told me something that might have happened in the Falklands
No of course no, I'm talking about this what we're about to do it just all seems wrong.
You know now I don't know If I am coming or going I mean you keep giving me mixed messages you act like you want me
Of course I want you your a very sexy beautiful woman.
You know now would be a good time to end this argument
Miss. Fine don't you see what we are about to do here was a very serious step to take, oh your not just a one night stand.
Me, oh no of course not, Look Mr. Sheffield you know I always thought we were going to end up together but If It ain't going to happen now It ain't going to happen
Look I didn't say It will never happen.
well I think my chances are only going to decrease as I slowly morph into Yetta, Four years it's enough already I can't take It anymore I'm outta here
Mr. Sheffield (Picking up Fran's suitcase and throwing it) Look, Miss. Fine, I am not giving in to my urges the stakes are far to high I'm a bloody gentleman after all.
Ms. Fine, I have to talk to you about our relationship and the way it seems to have escalated.
Wait a minute, you said "our", "relationship" and "escalated" in the same sentence. Should I book a hall?
Ooh. Ms. VERY Fine.
I just don't understand why Maxwell would ask Nanny Fine on a date! I should be going to Elton John's dinner, not her. I am the one with sophistication! I am the one with savvy! Why would he pick her over me?
HE DOESN'T LIKE YOU!!
[In tears] Why?!!... What am I doing wrong?
Well, for one thing, you've known him for 25 years or half your life and you don't even know the names of his children.
Oh, Niles, do you think that Ms. Babcock's upset that I asked Nanny Fine out on a date?
Oh, no sir.
Well, I'd hate for her to think that I didn't like her.
(innocently) Oh, wherever would she get that idea?
Oh, I don't know. Maybe from SOME BIG FAT BUTLER SCREAMING IT IN HER FACE! (Niles clutches his heart, takes something out from his pocket, and puts it in his mouth) Oh, stop it, I know those are bloody Tic-Tacs!
Is it true back then people used to listen to their music on some sort of primitive large black vinyl disc?
Only when we weren't enjoying our favorite pastime, child hurling.
Don't you see, Bobbi Flekman is an amalgamation of the two of us. She is everything he is searching for in a woman. (Points to herself) Beauty, brains, and (Points to Fran) a slut.
Hey! You know, you may be onto something.
(To C.C.) Honey, you look like a smart woman. You're not, but you look like one. Baby, you're a doormat, an old shoe. No man is worth this. Stop being a masochist.
Ms. Babcock, I have something to tell you that is going to be very hard for you to take.
[To Mr. Sheffield] YOU ASKED HER TO MARRY YOU, YOU SCUM?!! TEN YEARS OF MY LIFE I HAVE—
C.C.!! C.C.!! Ms. Fine lost Chester in Central Park.
Phew! You scared the hell out of me.
