Loretta Castorini, will you marry me?

Yes, Ronnie, in front of all these people, I'll marry you.

Do you love him, Loretta?

Ma, I love him awful.

Oh, God, that's too bad.

She loves me.

I'm Vanessa Zoltan, and I'm Ariana Nettleman.

And this is Hot and Bothered. Just another reminder that we are running our Patreon push this month. Thank you so much to those of you who have already signed up.

We have a lot of great perks on Patreon, including a monthly movie conversation between you and me, Vanessa.

So if you like this, then there's more where that came from.

A few months ago, I made you watch two weeks notice.

It's true. And right now we're doing a special Patreon perk just to encourage people to sign up.

You are talking to people about musicals because if we were to keep going with our movie miniseries,

we would have done a season on musicals. We didn't get that

chance. But we're going to do a little bit of it for the folks over on Patreon. In case you guys

didn't know, I love musical theater. Do you want me to summarize the end of this movie, Vanessa?

Yes. A lot happens. A lot. It takes place all in the kitchen. It happens. It does.

I'm going to start us a little bit before that. Okay. What we need to know is that Johnny Camerari is back from

Sicily. He's come by the house late at night, straight from the airport, and Loretta isn't home. So he says,

I'll come back tomorrow. That's the promise that's hanging over the scene. Johnny Camerary is coming back tomorrow. Okay, cut to the next day. Loretta spent the night at Ronnie's house. Slut. She comes home. She comes in the door. Her mom basically calls her a slut. She's like, you have a love bite.

Where were you?

Are you drunk?
