00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:08.000
<v Tony Sirico> We've reached the final round of the Bensonhurst Italian Spelling Bee.

00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:14.000
<v Tony Sirico> In just a few minutes, one of these little Scungio's will be king of the neighborhood. Or queen. 

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:22.000
<v Lorraine Bracco> [inaudible] If you should be so lucky to win, your prize is gonna be a beautiful meatball Parmesan from the Spumoni Gardens. 

00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:24.000
<v Tony Sirico> [kissing sound] Michael, you're up.

00:00:25.000 --> 0:00:27.000
<v Mark Consuelos> Why is he wearing a track suit, and he's wearin' a big chain.

00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:28.000
<v Kelly Ripa> Shh!

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:30.000
<v Tony Sirico> Your word is mutzadel.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.000
<v Michael Consuelos> Mutzadel. Can you use it in a sentence, please?

00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:37.000
<v Lorraine Bracco> Jimmy, can you put some more mutzadel on my pizza before I smack ya?

00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:46.000
<v Michael Consuelos> Mutzadel. M-U-T-Z-A-D-E-L, mutzadel.

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:47.000
[Applause]

00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:48.000
<v Tony Sirico> That's correct!

00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:49.000
<v Lorraine Bracco> Woo!

00:00:49.000 --> 00:50.000
<v Mark Consuelos> That was wrong.

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.000
<v Kelly Ripa> What? That's how Italians spell mutzadel.

00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.000
<v Mark Consuelos> That's not even how Italians say it. It's mozzarella. 

00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:58.000
<v Lorraine Bracco> Anthony, please step forward.

00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.000
<v Tony Sirico> Your word is brahjzoot.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.000
<v Mark Consuelos> What? 

00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:03.000
<v Robert Crystal> Can I have the origin of the word?

00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.000
<v Lorraine Bracco> The origin of the word is from Borough Park in Brooklyn.

00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:10.000
<v Robert Crystal> Brahjzoot. B-R

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:11.000
<v Mark Consuelos> I think that man's trying to say prosciutto. 

00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:12.000
<v Robert Crystal> A-H

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:13.000
<v Kelly Ripa> Shh!

00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:15.000
<v Robert Crystal> J-Z-O-O-T. Brahjzoot.

00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:16.000
<v Tony Sirico> That's correct!

00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:17.000
[Applause]

00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:18.000
<v Lorraine Bracco> Woo!

00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:19.000
<v Mark Consuelos> That wasn't even close. 

00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:20.000
<v Kelly Ripa> This is their culture!

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:25.000
<v Tony Sirico> Antoinette, you're next. Your word, little Snooki, is madanad.

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:27.000
<v Alexa Barino> Can I have the definition, please?

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:32.000
<v Lorraine Bracco> Madanad is the stuff your mother cooks for five hours every Sunday.

00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:36.000
<v Alexa Barino> Madanad. M-A-D-A

00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:38.000
<v Mark Consuelos> All right, I'm gonna, I'm gonna say something.

00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:39.000
<v Kelly Ripa> Please, don't.

00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:40.000
<v Alexa Barino> N-A-D. Madanad.

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:41.000
<v Tony Sirico> That's right!

00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:42.000
[Applause]

00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.000
<v Mark Consuelos> There is no "D" in marinara.

00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:48.000
<v Kelly Ripa> You know, as sexy as you are, when you say marinara it makes my skin crawl.

00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:50.000
<v Mark Consuelos> Excuse me!

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:51.000
<v Kelly Ripa> [Gasp] I don't know you.

00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:53.000
<v Mark Consuelos> I'm sorry, but this is all wrong.

00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:54.000
<v Lorraine Bracco> What?

00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:55.000
<v Tony Sirico> You got a problem?

00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:01.000
<v Mark Consuelos> No! No, I, I'm Michael's father, the, the kid with the headband and the tracksuit. You're spelling all these words they're just, they're just wrong. 

00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:10.000
<v Tony Sirico> Oh? See, this guy sittin' in the audience, who doesn't look an ounce Italian, has got a problem with the way we spell the words that my grandfather brought here from Sicily?! 

00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:13.000
<v Mark Consuelos> No, no, it's just that my son...

00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:16.000
<v Lorraine Bracco> Nobody asked you your opinion! What's wrong with you?!

00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:18.000
<v Mark Consuelos> Look, I don't, I don't want any problems. We, we, we just wanna...

00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:23.000
<v Lorraine Bracco> We?! 'Scuse me, lady, you wit' him?

00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.000
<v Kelly Ripa> No. I don't know this stunad. [smacks arm]

00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:28.000
<v Mark Consuelos> Okay, look, it's just that it's...

00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:36.000
<v Tony Sirico> I got an idea. If you don't like what you see, I can get my friends Pauly and Carmine over here to take you outside and, uh, see if they can change your mind.

00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.000
<v Mark Consuelos> Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down!

00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:44.000
<v Michael Consuelos> Dad! Stop messin' around! He's really cool you guys. He's got some big stugas talkin' to you guys that way, huh?

00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:48.000
<v Tony Sirico> You was kiddin'? 

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.000
<v Mark Consuelos> Oh, yeah! Are you kiddin' me? 

00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:54.000
<v Tony Sirico> [Laughs] 

00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:55.000
<v Mark Consuelos> Yeah!

00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:56.000
[Laughter]

00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:57.000
<v Mark Consuelos> Pasta fazul! 

00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:58.000
<v Lorraine Bracco> Good for you! You was real funny!

00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.000
<v Tony Sirico> Like Ray Ramano. I like you!

00:03:01.000 --> 0:03:03.000
<v Lorraine Bracco> [Laughs] Okay, where were we?

00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:07.000
<v Tony Sirico> The next word is sangwitch.

00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.000
