5.6 A Decent Proposal

written by: Ivan Menchell

C.C. wants to cast Chevy Chase in a one person show on Broadway. He's currently in Atlantic City and C.C. is going to set up a meeting. She figures it will be just the two of them, but Maxwell has other ideas. Max: Well I'll want the children to come. C.C.: Okay. Max: And I'll need a butler. C.C.: Fabulous. Max: Good, it's all settled then.	So the gang is off to Atlantic City.
	Fran, Max and C.C. enjoy Chevy's act and he agrees to talk to "Mitch" about doing his show.

Fran does some Nannying when she stops B from seeing a strip show and sends him to see Muppets On Ice instead.

Niles hits the slots just a little too hard; he spent the entire night gambling. Fran sends him to bed and takes his wallet so he can't gamble anymore.

But when she sits down at the machine he had been playing and wins, he steals his wallet back during the excitement.

So a Fran scheme is born. She gets Gracie to con a maid into letting her into Niles' room.

He's asleep but still dreaming about the slots. Niles: C'mon 3 cherries! Come to Papa. Fran pretends to be a slot machine so he won't wake up. Fran: Ding Ding Ding Ding!

Fran searches him and carefully extracts the wallet.

Later Fran runs into Chevy at the roulette wheel. She seems to be Chevy's lucky charm at the table, so he invites her to come to his poker game that night.	Max bursts in on the sleeping Niles to get his opinion on this latest development. Max: Let's say some one is down in the casino, and they ask a certain nanny if she would spend the night with him and she tells him, oh ho ho, 'He could get lucky'. What do you think that means? Niles: Oh congratulations sir!
Max joins them and wants to talk to Chevy about his play that evening, but Chevy turns him down. Chevy: I'm afraid I'm spending the evening with your beautiful nanny. Fran: Maybe you'll even get lucky! Chevy: I'm counting on it.

Niles wants his wallet, so he trades the info that Max is jealous for a clue about his wallet's whereabouts. Fran: I gave it to somebody that's really going to enjoy having this power over you. Niles: Babcock! [But it was really Gracie]

That night in Chevy's room, Fran knows that Max is listening at the door and plays the jealousy card for all it is worth. Fran: Oh Chevy, oh Chevy, I'm so hot! That's some great hand ya got there, baby. Chevy: Fran, I didn't bring you up here to talk.

Max: She stopped talking. That's a bad sign. Niles: Courage Sir, perhaps she just discovered the mini-fridge.

Fran: Oh Mr. Sheffield, I can't believe you barged in there and carried me out! It's so 50's. Luckily I'm an old fashioned girl. Max: I only did it Miss Fine because I was concerned about your welfare. Fran: Oh you did not. You did it because you thought I was in the arms of another man and you got jealous. Now why can't you just tell me? Max: First you tell me why a gentleman in a sequined gown is singing Grace to sleep with "Ain't No Mountain High Enough"? Fran: Damn. And he escapes again.

Max bursts in and takes his woman. Fran: Mr. Sheffield what are you doing? Max: [realizing his mistake] Feeling like huge ass. Nothing personal.

Still after his wallet, Niles bursts in on a shocked C.C. Niles: Give it to me Babcock! C.C.: Give what to you? Niles: Don't play coy, I'm getting what I came for. I'll tie you down if I have to. C.C.: Niles you animal! I've never seen this side of you.

C.C.: What are you doing? Niles: What do you think? I'm ransacking your drawers. C.C.: Are you looking for something specific? I have peignoirs, teddies, ....a hand puppet. Niles: I'm looking for my wallet! C.C.: Oh Niles, you don't have to pay me.
