3.12 The Kibbutz

written by: Frank Lombardi

Our CommentsFun Stuff


In Mr. Sheffield's estimation, Maggie has been spending far too much time with her latest boyfriend, so he decides to send her to a Swiss convent for the three week Christmas break.

Fran breaks the news to Maggie. To make going away sound better, she tells her about her trip to a kibbutz in Israel when she was a teen.

But Maggie misunderstood the conversation and wants to go to a kibbutz instead of the convent.

Max: Every time I ask you to do something, you manage to screw it up!
Fran: And yet, you continue to ask me.

Fran goes to Queens to visit her mother and "interrupts."
Fran: Ma, I'm sorry. I hear sounds of ecstasy coming from your room I figure you're eating a cheese cake!

In a flashback to Fran's teen years, she remembers talking her mother into letting her go to Israel. She convinces Max he should let Maggie go too.

Sylvia reminds Fran that she had hated the kibbutz and had left before the summer was over.

In a flashback, Fran remembers why she had such a great time.
Fran: Oh yeah, now I remember why I loved it so much. That's where I lost my..... hat.

Sylvia: Well, maybe Maggie will have as much fun as you.
Fran: Over my dead body!

Now Fran has to talk Mr. Sheffield out of letting Maggie go.
Fran: Ya wanna know what it really is? I kinda remembered that the kibbutz is where I lost my.... Oh hi kids!

Max: Miss Fine, what on earth is the big deal about losing your.... oh my God! Everybody out! No, not you!

Max: Okay, everybody quiet! Except Miss Fine. Now, you were saying, you don't want Margaret to go to the kibbutz because that's where you lost your.....
Fran: Hat.

But instead of just keeping Margaret from going, the whole family spent Christmas on the kibbutz.

Fran even ran into her old boyfriend, still working there.

His son works with him now, but Mother Hen was having none of that!

December 63 (Oh What A Night)

Oh, what a night, late December back in '63
What a very special time for me
As I remember what a night!

Oh what a night,
You know I didn't even know her name
But I was never gonna be the same
What a lady, what a night!

Oh, I got a funny feeling when she walked in the room
And I, as I recall it ended much too soon

Oh what a night,
Hypnotizing, mesmerizing me
She was everything I dreamed she'd be
Sweet surrender, what a night!

I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder
Straining my head around and taking my body under
Oh what a night!

Oh, I got a funny feeling when she walked in the room
And I, as I recall it ended much too soon

Oh what a night,
Why'd it take so long to see the light?
Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right
What a lady, what a night!

I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder
Straining my head around and taking my body under
Oh what a night!
