There is more to life than what you're lit. So take a chance and face the wind.

An open road and a road that's hit. Brand new life around the bend.

There were dying.

Lost a dream or two.

Found a trail.

At the end was you.

There's a path we take and a path not taken. The choice is up to you, my

The nights are long, but you might awake to a grand life, a grand life, a grand

life around the bend.

I'm telling you, Marcy, that's not all her.

She stops it.

I bet you there's a half a box of Kleenex in there.

Do you mind?

Come on, you've been on that phone long enough now. Come around here and give me

a hand. Oh, sure.

Marcy, I've got to help my dad fold the laundry.

Yeah, well,

I bet Bonnie could find out. I mean, she's in her gym class.

Samantha.

That's not what I meant.

I'm sorry.

Bye, Marcy. Got to go. Yeah.

Sorry.

Guess what?

I got guacamunchies. Oh, hey, cover your mouth when you sneeze. I don't want the

kids to get it.

Oh, it's the hottest snack food on the West Coast. I just landed the account

our L .A. office.

Hey, congratulations.

That's terrific.

Angela, you got a fresh bag? These are green.

They're supposed to be green. They're avocado flavored.

Guacamole and chips in one convenient bag.

I'm going to go in the kitchen and raid the fridge or something. Hey, if that or

something has something to do with Mar -Bell, forget about it.

Rats.

He's here. He's here.

Who's here?

Daddy.

Daddy? This may be a good time to tell you, Angela.

Your ex -husband, Michael, he called. He's in town.

He's going to come over.

He's here.

Michael's here?

Yeah. Hey, if you don't want to see him, I can tell him you're out. You know, on

a date. With Warren Beatty. Oh, stop it. You're not going to make excuses for

me? I'm on top of the world. See?

Not guacamole.

I can handle seeing my husband.

It's your ex -husband.

Oh, right.

Might even be fun to see him.

How much fun?

What kind of question is that?

Well, you know, the last time you were here, you remember you had so much fun

that you...

so big.

That's because I'm in third grade.

Let's open my present now.

Oh, let me say hello to your mom.

Hello.

Hello, Michael.

Well, what brings you to Connecticut?

Well, I... Actually, I came to see you. Hey, Michael.

What brings you to Connecticut?

Actually, he came to see me.

Oh, no kidding.

What, are you late on the alimony check, Sandra?

Oh, wow.

It's an iguana.

Oh, Michael, that is hideous.

Hey, not to a lady iguana. How do you know it's not a lady?

Check it out.

Rounding up the bugs.

Oh, well, I think I'll go in and I'll start dinner myself, you know. Hey,

Michael, I hope the iguana likes meatloaf.

So.

So.

You look good.

I do, don't I?

I feel good, too. I think it's because I'm living in L .A.

You live in L .A.? Yeah. You hate Los Angeles.

Not anymore.

No, I enjoy.

Dating, surfing, convertibles, taking long walks on the beach at sunset.

Michael, have you been on the dating game?

No, Angela, but I have changed.

I think I've finally learned to put other people's concerns ahead of my own.

I'm ready to share my space.

What?

Angela, I want to get married again.

Oh.

Michael.

Her name is Heather.

You're getting married?

Dad, if I don't talk to Marthy, I'll die. Oh, sweetheart, you gotta talk, you

gotta talk. Yeah, thanks.

Not on the phone.

Come on, Sam, she lives three blocks away.

Use those days guards put on the end of your legs.

You want me to walk?

No, I'm just helping you clear the table.

You know, see, Angela, usually people eat first and then they clear the table.

Well, if you want to do it that way.

Angela, where's Michael?

He's outside giving the big news to Jonathan.

Michael is getting married to Heather.

I love that name.

There's a girl at a school named Heather.

She's a cheerleader.

Aren't they all?

Sam, aren't you on your way to Marcy's? Oh, yeah.

Bye. Bye. See you later, babe. Yeah.

Um, Angela, are you okay about this? I'm fine.

Oh, come on, Angela.

Don't be brave just because of me. Now, if you're angry or you're hurt or you're

jealous, just let it out.

I'm not hurt, angry, and jealous.

Just jealous?

Tony!

Hey, I have an idea.

How would you like to be the best man at my wedding?

When a guy gets married, he's got a lot of things on his mind.

So he needs a best friend to help him out.

How would you like to come to California and be my best friend?

Yeah. Just one thing.

What's that, little tiger?

You don't have to call me that anymore.

I sort of hate it.

A name like Heather.

She's probably blonde and tan.

Looks great in a bikini.

Bet she's got the IQ of a surfboard.

girls in California are gorgeous.

I'm telling you, they got a guy at the state line.

Hey, if you're not blonde, blue -eyed, and built, you're out.

I went all the way to Marcus' house, and she wasn't even home.

That was silly. You should have called first.

Gee, Dad, why didn't I think of that?

Mom, guess what? I'm going to be the best man in California.

What? Yeah, I asked him to stand up for me at my wedding.

Oh, hello, Mona.

Hello, Michael.

Congratulations. Thank you.

I hope you're going to be very happy. I know I am.

Excuse me, Michael, but just like that, you want Jonathan to go to California?

Shouldn't you ask me about this?

Oh, yeah.

Well, can Jonathan come to California?

You're going to be busy getting married. Who's going to take care of him?

Angela, could you paste this for me, please?

Not now, Tony.

I know, but it's a critical stage.

The kid wants to go to his father's wedding. Don't break his heart.

Go out on business.

Check out Guacamunchies.

Check out Heather.

Very good thought.

Michael, I have to go out to California to kick off the Guacamunchies campaign.

Why don't I just take Jonathan along?

Yay! Thank you, Angela.

It'll be great.

Yeah, but it won't work.

It won't? Why not?

With you working all the time, who's going to pull Jonathan out of the old

tub?

I think what you need is a housekeeper. And a housekeeper's daughter.

Can I go? Can I? Can I? Please, please, please. Well, of course you can go.

Mother, what have you got to do with this? Well, if Tony is going to be

Jonathan all day, you're going to be working all day, who is going to hang

with me at the pool?

I'm going to get airsick.

No, you're not, sweetheart.

Oh, Jonathan, gross!

Hey. I'll see you tomorrow. And no special reception, Blake.

I don't want you to treat me any differently than... Chrysler treats

Oh, Angela, we love our room, don't we, pal?

Yeah. Yeah, we got a view of the tennis courts, and there's a woman down there

with a really well -done...

Angela.

Can you believe this? 80 degrees in November?

I'll be tan for Christmas.

I'll wait till I tell Marcy. If you call her, you're dead.

I have heard so much about you.

Samantha? Yeah?

Tony? Hey, three for three. And by process of elimination, you must be

She's very good at this. I can see why he's marrying her.

And this is Jonathan.

Boy, you are pretty.

Why, thank you, little tiger.

Oh, honey, I forgot to tell you.

He sort of hates that.

Oh, it's okay, Dad.

I like when she says it.

Oh,

hey, how about I get somebody some food, Jake? I could whip up a quick call to

room service like that, baby. Oh, no, not for me.

Oh, no, not for me. Thank you.

Well, Michael tells me that you are the president of a big green potato chip

company.

The potato chips are an account.

Actually, I'm in advertising.

Oh, well, you said potato chips, Michael.

I did. I'm sorry.

You were wrong about this. You were wrong about Little Tiger.

What am I going to do with you?

And

what

do you do, Heather? Go to college?

Oh, hey, what a coincidence. You and Michael are in the same business, huh?

Yeah, I work with him.

But I'm, um... What's my title, honey?

Assistant to Michael Bauer.

Tomorrow we were thinking of taking a ride to the beach and showing you all

ocean. Yeah.

Oh, it's not really ours, but they let us use it.

Tomorrow's not good.

I have to work.

But can't we go without Mom?

Oh, uh... Oh, well... Sure you can.

I bought a 30 -car wagon and we call it a Woody.

Third city, here we come. You know, it's not very cherry. It's an oldie but a

goodie. Third city, here we come. Realty got a backseat or a rear window.

But it still gets me where I...

Two girls for every boy.

They say they never know the sweetest because there's always something going

The water's so nice.

I could live to look like this. Yeah? Hey, I wonder if Linda Evans needs a

house.

Angela, you don't want to burn too much the first day.

Hey,

Jonathan, look who's here.

Oh, hi, sweetheart.

He probably didn't want to get you wet.

Well, I mean, it's no day at the beach.

But without you, it's no picnic.

Dad, could you pass me a sandwich, please?

That's right.

I'll get it, sweetheart.

Thanks.

Angela?

Yes, sweetheart?

Could you move? You're kind of blocking my son.

Oh, sorry. It's okay.

I have to be going anyway.

Hey, we're going to catch you later for dinner, right?

Right. Okay.

Bye. Bye.

I promise, champ. Good night, John.

Roll the moment.

Mickey.

Okay.

He's out cold.

Yeah.

So, what are we going to do now?

Well, one of us is going to bed.

Oh, good night, Dad.

Can I at least stay up till Mona gets back?

I won't be up when Mona gets back.

Good night, sweetheart. I love you. I'll see you tomorrow. I love you, too.

Boy,

was he exhausted.

Well, hey, he put in a rough day at the beach.

I know.

With Heather.

That's all he talked about at dinner.

Was Heather's convertible.

Heather on roller skates.

Heather almost losing her bikini in the waves. Oh, I knew I should have went for

that hot dog.

Look, Angela, I know how rough it was, you know, seeing Jonathan and Heather

it off so good.

But I'm telling you, in the long run, I think it may work out for the best. I

mean, Michael's marrying her.

Yeah, well, they do have a lot in common.

They both worship the ground he walks on.

Jonathan's really excited about this wedding.

I know.

He asked me tonight if I would come.

And what'd you say?

Tony, I don't think the bride wants the ex -wife at her wedding.

Well, actually,

I was speaking to the bride, and Heather says she'd like us all to come.

She did?

Me too?

Yes, you do.

And you know what? I don't think it's such a bad idea.

I mean, look, you show Jonathan that everybody's still friends, and this way

doesn't have to take sides.

Tony, I'm trying to be wonderful about this, and I think I'm doing a pretty

job.

Look, Heather's a nice kid. She really is.

But I think she's always just going to be assistant to Michael Bauer.

I guess that's what Michael wanted from me.

I guess you wanted more.

I did.

I still do.

I don't want to be married to Michael.

I like who I am.

And I like what I'm doing.

All right, all right. So then, hey, you'll go to the wedding, huh? Heather

they're going to have those little baby quiches.

Oh, I would like to see Jonathan walk down the aisle in his little tuxedo.

She say anything about shrimp puffs?

Doing pigs in a blanket, too, eh? Ooh.

Well, why not?

I love Michael's weddings.

I haven't missed one yet.

A salute.

A salute.

Hey, Michael.

Come on in.

Hi, Michael.

I thought Mother forgot her key.

Oh, no, I just saw her down in the Magambo room.

She's a finalist in the limbo contest.

I just stopped by to say goodnight to Jonathan.

Well, the way he's sacked out, you could say goodnight in the morning.

Well, then, uh, there is something I'd like to talk with Angela about.

Oh, well, Michael, Tony told me what you wanted, and I think it's a great idea.

Tony? Well, I, you know, I was, I spoke to Heather on the beach.

Yeah. Michael, I want you to know that I think you're a great couple, and I wish

you all the best.

And... You know how I love those baby quiches.

Baby quiches?

I'm trying to tell you that I'll come to your wedding.

Oh, well, that's great. That'd be terrific.

What are you talking about?

Well, Angela,

you know, since Heather and I are getting married and settling down, well,

know how much fun it's been to have Jonathan with us.

Well, you can see how much he likes California.

Angela... Hey, wait, wait a minute.

What are you saying?

He wants custody of Jonathan.
