"You got the job...No kidding!? - On the series
finale episode of the sitcom WHO'S THE
BOSS/ABC/1984-92, Tony Micelli (Tony Danza)
returns from Bradford, Iowa to rekindle his
romance with his former employer,
Angela Bower (Judith Light).
In the final scene, back in Connecticut at
Angela's house, the doorbell rings. Angela comes
down the stairs in the same bathrobe she wore in
the first episode and answers the door to find
Tony standing there in a tuxedo. The last words
from the show's script follows:
|
Angela: |
Tony |
|
Tony: |
Hi. |
|
Angela: |
What are you doing here? |
|
Tony: |
Well, I, ah, I heard you're looking for a
housekeeper? |
|
Angela: |
Yeah, but what are you doing here? |
|
Tony: |
Uh, I heard you're looking for a
housekeeper? Can I come in? |
|
Angela: |
Yes, of course. |
|
Tony: |
[Walking in] Do you, uh, you always wear
that outfit when you're interviewing
housekeepers? I seem to remember that you
were wearing that the first time I
interviewed for this job. |
|
Angela: |
Oh, yea. How about that? Boy, you seem to
be dressing better. |
|
Tony: |
Yea, well I just came from picking up this
award for "Outstanding Teacher of the
Year" and then I quit. |
|
Angela: |
You quit? |
|
Tony: |
Yea, you know, they gave me this big
banquet, you know, and they gave me the
award. It was terrific. And then I went
back to my beautiful apartment and I
realized I have nobody to show my plaque
to. See? (Shows Angela the plaque) |
|
Angela: |
Oh, that's a nice one. |
|
Tony: |
Yea, it is, isn't it... has a little lamp
of education. |
|
Angela: |
Yea. |
|
Tony: |
Um, so, about the job? Not for nothin',
looks like you could use me. |
|
Angela: |
Tony, that's very sweet of you, but I
thought we both agreed... |
|
Tony: |
No, we were both wrong, Angela. I mean, I
can apply for jobs in the area. I just
know that it's very important that I be in
the area. |
|
Angela: |
I see. |
|
Tony: |
Yea, you know, it was kind of bothering me
that I was... out of the area. |
|
Angela: |
Look, Tony. I don't ever want you to
resent this. |
|
Tony: |
Angela, the only thing I resented was
being without you. |
|
Angela: |
[Smiles] So, what are your qualifications? |
|
Tony: |
Well, um. [Passionately kisses Angela] |
|
Angela: |
You got the job. |
|
Tony: |
No kidding! [Tony and Angela kiss again as
the screen fades to black] |
