5.12 One False Mole and You're Dead

written by: Frank Lombardi

Margo Lange is coming over to discuss being in a show for Maxwell. Fran is supposed to be out of the house for the day.

But Max discovers her on the terrace disguised as a gardener. She slips in the house and in the hysteria manages to drench Miss Lange and wash off her famous facial mole.

Max brings Fran into the kitchen to yell. Niles: You just had to meet her in person. My telephoto lens and parabolic dish weren't good enough for you!

Max: Now we both know what the most important thing in a relationship is, don't we? Fran: Forgiveness? Max: No, trust. Trust is the most important thing! Fran is insulted that Mr. Sheffield thinks she can't keep a secret.	But when she takes Sylvia to the doctor's, she tells her about Margo's mole being a fake. She didn't notice the gossip columnist Cindy Adams sitting behind them.
	Watching TV that night, Fran is shocked to see the secret on Cindy Adams' show. So was Mr. Sheffield.

Max: Miss Fine, you remember our conversation about trust? Fran: Yeah, why? Max: Well you realize you and I can't have a relationship if I can't trust you. But now it seems fairly obvious, I can't.

Val: Fran why don't you just go to her and beg for mercy. Ya know, tell her what you did to Elton John and to Elizabeth Taylor. Fran: And to Cher and to Bette Midler. Lambchop! This would pale by comparison really.

So Fran goes to see Margo and they decide to go into business together.

Fran tells Mr. Sheffield about her new business selling Margo Lange fake moles on the internet.

But somebody leaked the information and beat them to market, killing Fran's dream of millions.

Niles figures out that Mr. Sheffield is the one that blabbed. Max: What am I going to do about it? This was her dream, Niles. She was so excited about this cosmetics business and I went and ruined the whole thing for her by opening my big mouth. There's just no way I can make this up to her. Niles: Well, you could propose. Max: Oh would you get serious Niles. Just get off that track would you and come up with something I can actually use!

Fran: Oh Mr. Sheffield, I'm so miserable. I keep trying to think, who? Who would do this to me? Max: Marry me? Fran: It was you?!?

Fran: You blabbed and you think that by proposing it's going to make up for it? Well, you thought right baby!

She runs off to tell Niles the good news but while telling the story she realizes something isn't right. Fran: Who am I kidding here? I don't want a proposal from a man out of guilt. Oh god, twelve generations of Fine women just rolled over.

Fran: I want him to ask me because he can't imagine his life without me. Cause he really means it. I kinda deserve that. Niles: So you're actually going to let him out of it? Fran: Yeah, I am. Oh boy, have I come a long way, huh?

Max: There you are. Come on Niles, why don't you crack open a bottle of champagne? Let's celebrate. Fran: Huh? Oh you mean that proposal out there? I didn't take that seriously. I just wanted to see you sweat. Max: What? Fran: Ya know, you should have seen the look on your face when I said 'yes'! It was just about as good as the look on Ma's face when I tell her I said 'no'. Why don't we just forget the whole thing ever happened?

Niles: Well, once again you managed to get yourself out of it. Max: Yes, only this time I'm not quite sure I really wanted to.
