The story

However, he still cares for and lives with his mother, a rude, possibly senile 87-year-old widow, who is ruining her son's love life.

He resents her so much that he tries to scare her to death by donning a gorilla suit and attacking her in bed, only to end up being hit hard in the groin by her.

Thrilled about his budding love, he immediately becomes frightened that his mother will sabotage it and, when he invites Louise over to his apartment on the Upper West Side, he tries to lock his mother away in her room.
