Ray, Robert and Gianni are waiting for the pizza at Marco's. Ray is still distracted from the events of the previous evening.
Angelina, their waitress, approaches to see if they need anything, "Can I get you guys more soda?"
"Yes, thank you very much." Robert says
"Yeah, thanks" Gianna echoes.
Ray just sits in a trance, "Hello Ray!!" Gianni says waving his hands in front of Ray.
"Huh? What?" He finally responds.
"She asked you if you need any more soda." Robert says.
Ray looks at Angelina and smiles, 'Oh, sorry. Yeah I'll have some more."
"What's with you, man?" Gianni asks.
"Nothing, it's nothing." Ray insists.
"Look, if you can't tell you friends, who can you tell?" Robert says.
Ray sighs, "Alright, you wanna know? I dropped the kids off last night and Andy was there."
"Well, so what? You know they have been dating for a while. It shouldn't have surprised you." Gianni reasons.
"Well, it was just weird. He was all acting like it was his house, setting the table, getting the drinks. My kids ran over to him like they couldn't wait to see him."
"Oh, wait a minute. Andy was setting the table and getting drinks? I guess Debra loved that." Robert says.
"Shut up! You don't know anything." Ray snaps.
"I don't know anything? Well, I am leaving here in a little while to go home to my wife. Where are you going? To your mommy's?" Robert retorts, "You know Ray, it sounds like Andy is everything you weren't, helpful, thoughtful."
"I said shut up!" Ray says again.
"Hey come on guys, cool it," Gianni interjects, "The pizza's coming."
Angelina sets the pizza down on the table and they begin to dig in.
"Ray, I gotta say when I saw Deb the other day she seemed very happy. It must be nice for her to have someone who really cares." Robert says continuing to rub it in.
"Yeah well what's so great about Andy?" Ray questions.
"Well, for one thing he obviously helps her and gets along with your kids. My guess is he doesn't lie to her or sit around on his ass doing nothing while she waits on him."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." Ray mumbles.
"Is what's bothering you that she is seeing him or the fact that he is showing you up? He's more thoughtful, less selfish. Are you angry because you really see who you are for the first time?" Robert observes.
"You just love rubbing this in my face don't you? You love seeing me unhappy." Ray says his face getting red from anger.
"Hey, as much as I am enjoying 'As The Big Nose Turns' can we please talk about something else and eat in peace?" Gianna quips.
