(Ephram)
´I know you´re supposed
to wait three seconds.´

´But the intersection
was clear.´

So technically, that wasn´t
a rolling stop, right?

And point of information, I did
see that yield sign back there.

I did.

Eventually.

- You just missed the turn.
- Oh, was that it? Damn it.

[turn signal clicking]

How long has that been on?

(Irv)
It´s been said that
seeing is believing.

But the fact is,
we all have our blind spots.

Where did he come from?

Sometimes we recognize
them ourselves.

Sometimes others recognize
them for us.

[Andy slurping]

Perhaps you should consider
using a straw for your coffee.

It might help reduce
the slurping extravaganza.

It´s not coffee. Chai tea.

It´s your sister´s idea. She
says it´s better than coffee.

My sister says a lot of things.
Doesn´t mean we should listen.

She´s a pistol, that one.

I bet you fought a lot
when you were kids.

Hardly enjoyable to engage
in a battle of wits

when your opponent is unarmed.

I bet you were
overprotective, too.

You know, when her
boyfriends came around.

Did she, uh, have a lot
of boyfriends?

This is certainly taking
longer than expected.

I wonder how Amy´s doing.

Did I fail?
I failed, didn´t I?

It´s close. Technically,
you´re one point below the line.

But you look
like a nice kid, so..

I passed?

Yes. Thank you.

[intrumental music]

Do you mind if I try one more?
I´m just getting the hang of it.

Three tries, that´s the rule.

Ma´am, before you open that
door, could I ask where I stand?

Well, right now you´re at 72.
Eighty is passing.

Parallel parking is
worth 10 points.

Unbelievably, you still have a
chance. It comes down to this.

Well, I guess you could
catch a cab to the curb.

(Irv)
Distance has a way of
distorting the things we see.

But what appears as an obstacle

may in fact be an opportunity.

The trick is having
enough faith to carry through.

[theme music]

[music continues]

Check it out, Dad, some guy
got pulled over for a DUI

on the bypass
for driving a lawn mower.

Of course he was.

Heaven forbid we have
an actual felony in this town.

Barney Fife would probably
call the FBI for backup.

Must have been one fast mower.

(Rose)
´Where are you going?´

Believe it or not,
school is actually

appealing at the moment.

Just how do you plan on
getting to school, young lady?

Your brother hasn´t finished
his breakfast yet.

Whatever. I´ll walk.

On the other hand, you did pass
your driver´s test yesterday.

Maybe you should take the car.

You´re letting her
borrow the car?

No. She can use her own.

[upbeat music]

(Harry)
´So it´s a Kia Sorento.´

´Four-wheel antilock brakes,
air bags front and side.´

Got a five-star rating
on side-impact crash tests.

- Oh, that´s so unfair.
- Oh, Bright, don´t spoil it.

It´s your sister´s moment.

Moment? Try life.
She gets everything.

If I wanna go on drugs,
do I get a truck?

- Nice try.
- Why would you do this, though?

Turning 16 was a milestone.

You wouldn´t allow us to
celebrate that

with any kind of fanfare.

I couldn´t allow you to pass up
yet another momentous occasion.

Now, we may be having
problems at the moment

but I still love you, Amy.

Believe it or not,
I do want you to be happy.

I know you do, Dad.

- Thank you.
- Ha, ha.

I love you.

This is absolutely gorgeous.
And it´s so remote.

I can see why it´d be
a good place to write.

- I didn´t do much writing.
- Tom..

And this is where you proposed?

Actually, that´s
the grotto at Calvi.

No, we were in Porto-Vecchio,
on a pier at sunset.

Ah, the old
pier-at-sunset gambit.

Didn´t you use that
on your third wife?

Second. Third wife was
the Caeser at Vegas.

(Catherine)
´Oh, what a team.´

You guys must have killed
on the singles scene.

So, Andy, speaking of proposals,
we´d like to ask you a question.

- Shoot.
- We talked about it, and..

We´d like you to
officiate our wedding.

Guys, I don´t know.
I-I´m not--

Don´t worry, it´s easy.
You just read some verses,

opine on the meaning of life,
say the magic words.

Well, I can´t promise you
any extraordinary insights

but my rates are cheap.

- I´d be honored.
- Oh.

- When is it?
- Weekend after Christmas.

I know it seems fast,
but why wait?

I wanna get a good look
at my bride on her wedding day.

- Let´s see what we got here.
- Alright.

You know the drill.

Now, can you see all
four corners of the grid?

Yes.

Well, kind of.

- How many?
- Uh, two.

Uh, maybe one.

Any of the boxes missing?

I can´t tell.

Okay. Thanks.

Is there a problem?

I haven´t seen
the most recent lab reports.

But I have to say,
it doesn´t look promising.

´Based on what happened
with the right eye´

the progression
with this is the same.

I don´t think you´re gonna
make it to Christmas.

You might not even
make it to next week.

You know one of the many things
I like about you? You´re free.

My broker gives me bad news
and he charges me for it.

Guys, I´m sorry, but there are
still things you can do.

True. Like finish my sermon
for the hope service.

I expect to see you there
on Sunday, my friend.

Last year´s winner
always buys lunch.

Everwood tradition.

Thank you, Andy.

You gotta pass that test, dog.

I can´t keep hauling you
and your Schwinn around.

- I got an image.
- Thanks for driving it home.

I haven´t had enough people
point that out to me today.

Dog.

Yeah, my dad gave it to me.

Oh, yeah. Do you believe that?

I turned 16 and all I got
was an autographed football.

Which one of these
warms up the seats?

- I think this one.
- Hey, congratulations on the--

Kia Sorento.
My dad picked it out.

It´s supposed to be
all safe and everything.

First, heard you were driving
a Saturn, then a Lexus.

By lunch, it was
a Saab convertible.

- Wanna drive it?
- I´d rather not get arrested.

- I assume you got the memo.
- We heard. Bummer.

I have no license, no car. Just
a sad little boy and his bike.

I get to spend
quality time with Bright.

- Ooh, lucky you.
- Anyway, I´m happy for you.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

Louise, Mr. Bell´s MRI
is not in the file.

Louise? Hello?

Where´s the nurse that
we overpay to be here until 6?

Oh, she had a hair appointment.

Well, you let her go?

No, employees are like children.
You have to set limits.

Signs of weakness, they´ll want
matching 401(k)s and dental.

What are you doing tonight?

"Breakfast at Tiffany´s" is,
uh, playing at the Esquire.

- Doesn´t that sound like fun?
- Oh.

I do enjoy Hepburn, but alas.

Pot roast Wednesday.
Rose would never permit.

- I understand.
- Yeah.

[Linda yawns]

Maybe I´ll see if, uh,
Dr. Brown is interested.

Dr. Brown? Why would
you ask him?

I don´t know, because
he´s my friend?

Friend? Oh, please.

You´ve spent more time with
orangutans than you have him.

But the orangutans never pay
for their own popcorn.

You know, if you´re looking
for a movie partner

a dining partner or
a partner of any kind, there are

plenty of eligible
bachelors in town

who would be more appropriate
and far less irritating

than Andy Brown.

- I could introduce you.
- No way, Harry.

Remember the last time
you set me up with

the treasurer of the chess club,
Lloyd what´s-his-name?

Segerson. He was president
of the chess club.

Had you listened, you could
be married to the most

prominent tax attorney
in Albuquerque.

Oh, too bad.
I really missed out.

I am simply saying that if
you´re serious about dating

we need to formulate
a plan of attack.

Come up with a list of your-
your, uh, preferred traits.

Come up with ideas
for prospects.

I never said I was
interested in dating.

Even if I were, I wouldn´t
treat it like a project.

It´s not a job.
It just happens.

No, no. It does not just happen.

See, courtship is indeed
a highly formalized process.

It requires as much focus
and attention to detail as

neurosurgery.

No, not neurosur--

Any fool could
perform neurosurgery. No.

Courtship requires as much focus
as rocket science or horticult--

[clears throat]

Good morning and welcome.

It´s always a joy to have
God´s house full

on this special occasion.

This is normally
the time of year

when I deliver
my sermon of hope.

But this has not been
a normal year, at least for me.

Yesterday, I received
some sobering news.

My doctor informed me that
my eyes are getting worse

and that I will probably
lose most of my sight

in the coming days.

It would be dishonest to say
that I received this news

without some measure of despair.

I want to be able to look
upon my beautiful bride

on our glorious day.

So I´d like to announce
that we´re moving up

our wedding to next weekend.

You´re all invited.

That´s not all.

In the Book of Mark, Jesus says

"You can pray for anything
and if you believe

you will have it."

So here´s what
we´re going to do.

We´re going to call on God.

We´re going to test our faith.

´I ask each and every
one of you´

´pray for me
in the days to come.´

Pray for me that I keep
my eyesight for my wedding.

´Let us embrace hope´

´and the promise
of God´s grace.´

Let us ask and see
if we shall receive.

Let us trouble heaven
with our honest cries

and see if God
really listens.

(all)
Amen.

Hey, Happy. You up for
a little Shrinky-Dinking?

- Pretty fun stuff.
- I think I´ll pass, thanks.

Look, Ephram, I made
one for you.

It´s for your car keys,
in case you ever need it.

(Madison)
I get it now. Somebody
didn´t fare well at the DMV--

I don´t know why it´s
called a driving test.

All they care about is parking.

I wouldn´t worry about it. Lots
of guys ride bikes to prom.

Maybe your date could sit
on the handlebars.

What was it? Too far from the
curb or knocked over the cones?

- Try both.
- Parking is my specialty.

- I could show you if you want.
- You realize I´m from New York?

Means I´m genetically programmed
to be a crappy driver.

It´s possible. But I´m a pretty
decent teacher. It´s up to you.

´You should try her.´

She helped me on my long
division and it really worked.

- She´s like a genius.
- You hear that? I´m a genius.

Yeah, alright. Sure.

♫ I want to walk
like getting away ♫

[people chattering]]

Oh, Dr. Brown.

We need someone
for the 6:30 slot.

- Can I put your name down?
- I´m sorry, Doris.

But it´s college night
on Jeopardy.

Oh, Dr. Brown.

- Do you believe this?
- I know.

No way Art can keep up
with the meat-loaf orders

and make it to his group by 9.

It´s not meat loaf.

They´re being set up
for a giant disappointment.

I mean, I can´t believe
Tom is doing this.

You can´t believe a reverend
would ask his people to pray?

You gotta go to church more.

It´s one thing to pray
and be let down.

To drag everybody else with you?

He´s hoping for a miracle.
We know the odds.

It´s kind of like winning in
Vegas, but you gotta try, right?

How did Ephram do
on his driving test?

Not good.

If you have a booth that covers
parallel parking, let me know.

Isn´t this great? I´ve never
felt the town so energized.

Can I talk
to you outside?

Yeah, yeah.

I, uh, I didn´t wanna say
anything in front

of the prayer brigade, but I
spoke with Dr. Farmer today.

She says your last fundoscopy
shows bleeding in the macula.

Now, uh, we´re gonna have to get
busy or the scarring will set in

and it´ll be too late.

You think I need a test
to tell me I´m getting worse?

I can´t read anymore
or drive a car.

There´s been a hole
in my vision for the past year.

It gets smaller with laser
treatments, but it comes back.

Look..

I´ve been on the phone
for a couple hours this morning.

There is a new treatment. It´s
called photodynamic therapy.

It´s radical, but they´re
having some promising results

at a clinic in Denver.

I have a colleague there.

I´ve set up an appointment
for you on Wednesday.

I´m getting married.
I don´t have time.

I thought you wanted to do
something about this.

I am doing something
about this. I´m praying.

Tom, I´m not gonna
argue with you.

If you want to be able to see
your bride on Saturday

I can help you but you
are gonna have to trust me.

Andy, I´m not asking
to hit a curve ball here.

But if it means more doctors
and lasers, I´m sorry.

- I´m just not interested.
- You´re gonna give up?

- After all you´ve been through?
- On the contrary.

I´m just starting to fight.

A little lefter.

More. More.

I´ll never get this.

What if I promise
not to parallel park?

- Relax. You´re way too uptight.
- I´m not uptight.

Dude, you´re clutching
so hard right now

your fingerprints have made
marks on my steering wheel.

I happen to be deceptively
strong, that´s all.

You know, growing up, we used
to spend our summers

at this lake in Maryland.

And there was a bluff,
maybe 15 feet high.

All the kids would jump except
for me because I was scared.

I´m up there and all I can
think about are the rocks

and the cold water
and the fish that bite.

Suddenly, it hit me
I´m thinking too much.

So I just did it.
And my dad flipped.

And I got a new CD player
and it was a really cool day.

Wow. Good share.

That story was to tell you
you´re thinking too much.

Now just slam this sucker
into gear and do it.

[tires screeching]

[engine revving]

Now, wait. Before you go,
I want you to say to yourself

"I own that bitch."

And now by "bitch,"
I´m assuming you mean--

- Just say it.
- I own that bitch.

Louder.

I own that bitch.

Thanks for the call.
Isn´t it late for dinner?

Dinner, dessert, we´re nothing
if not flexible. Come along.

Hey, look who popped
in for a visit.

Everyone, this is
my little sister, Linda.

Dr. Linda Abbott.

She´s funny.
Linda, this is Oscar.

´He teaches at the college.´

And this is Aldo, our athletics
chairman at the lodge.

This is Wally,
one of my favorite patients.

Wally´s a very successful
local businessman.

Spic-N-Span Laundry. Uh here.

This will get you 10 percent off
on your dry-cleaning.

Come on. I don´t have
enough room in my truck.

No way I´m letting you and
your friends trash up my truck.

- Forget it.
- I´ll wash it.

- I´ll fill it up with gas.
- No.

Besides, Laynie and I have
plans. Sorry.

[phone rings]

- Hello?
- Hey, um, so don´t kill me.

- Uh-oh.
- No, no, no, it´s good.

Okay, so do you remember that
guy from the ECC party, Bobby?

- The blond with the eyes?
- I remember eyes.

´Well, he called.´

I mean, totally out of the blue.

- He asked you out for tonight.
- ´Yeah.´

´Would you kill me if I bailed?´

- No, go ahead. Have fun.
- ´You´re the best.´

I´ll make it up to you. Next
weekend, it´ll be all about us.

- Did somebody get blown off?
- Give me the keys.

You can hang out in your car.
In the driveway.

- With all your friends.
- Get out.

They take a drug and
they inject it into the arm.

It travels up to the retina

where it shows which
blood vessels are leaking.

The drug has chemicals which
react very easily to light.

That means they can use a
low-powered laser

to treat the vessels.

- Why didn´t we try this before?
- We didn´t need to.

Is it safe?

- There are risks.
- Like what?

Severe vision loss
has been reported,

but only in a tiny
percentage of cases.

- So it could make him worse?
- Statistically possible.

But not likely.

The odds are, it´ll slow
the scarring long enough

for him to be able to see
a while longer.

In my opinion, it´s worth
the risk.

Unfortunately, it´s not
your opinion that matters.

Or mine.

Oh, he´s a stubborn man, Andy.

When we met,
he told me everything.

I knew what I was getting into.

It just feels wrong
to want this.

Like I don´t love him
for who he is.

Look, no one respects
his faith more than I do

but isn´t it possible that God
is answering your prayers

with this procedure?

It´s a good thing
you and I go back, Andy.

Otherwise, I might
question the motives

of a man calling on my fiancée
the week before my wedding.

- We were discussing--
- I know why you´re here.

I´m going blind, not deaf.

I´m sorry.

- I´ve been so scattered.
- No, it´s okay.

All this time, I never thought
about what this means to you.

If this is what you want,
of course I´ll do it.

Oh.

[doorbell rings]

- Hey. Amy, right? Hi.
- Yeah, hi.

- I used to have that jacket.
- Oh, cool.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- What´s going on?
- Nothing. What´re you up to?

Uh, nothing really.
Just hanging out.

Do you wanna come in?

Actually, I wanted to see
if you wanted to come out.

Yeah. Yeah, sure.

[clears throat]

Curfew´s midnight.

Kidding.

How can you be so dense?
Died on the cross to save us.

- Middle initial, H.
- Oh! Oh, uh, uh--

- Jesus.
- Oh! Thank goodness. Finally.

- Alright, uh, it´s a male.
-Justin Timberlake.

- Right.
- I put that one in.

Now, this is truly outrageous.
Andrew Brown is not a celebrity.

Sure he is. He was on
the cover of Time magazine.

Did you read about
when he saved those twins?

Really? I never read that issue.

Alright, that´s it.
Alright, fine.

Game´s over. Everybody out. Come
on. Move it. Go, go. Just go.

Go on, move it! Move it!

´If you can´t play the game
right, we´re not gonna play.´

´I hope you´re happy.´

[both laughing]

Why do they make these
things so hard to open?

It´s not like they´re porn.

I mean, you know, nothing--
I wouldn´t know--

Okay, okay, last one.

Your co-workers don´t like
a man you´ve started dating.

Do you A, tell them to mind
their own business.

B, see him on the sly.

Or C, say adios, muchacho.

I don´t know. A?

A again.

According to this, you are
independent

with strong self-esteem
and a healthy body image.

You have ovaries
and then some.

- My dad would be so proud.
- Ha ha ha.

Here. I got you a couple
car-warming presents.

I got the pine-tree
air freshener.

Television´s Greatest
Theme Songs

a personal favorite of mine
for road trips, and fuzzy dice.

Retro but hip.

And two chocolate shakes.

- Thank you.
- You´re welcome.

- It´s not like they count.
- No, they do.

Especially because
the whole driving thing´s

gotta be a sore spot for you.

My crushing failure?
I barely even think about it.

Anyone else at County
would kill everyone

else´s good mood with
their bad one, but you don´t.

You just make it funny.

- How do you do that?
- What do I do?

You make light of a situation
even if it sucks.

I wanna do that.

You will.
It´ll come back to you.

[sighs]

I´ve really
missed this, you know? Us.

Yeah, I have missed us, too.

[phone ringing]

- No, grab it. I don´t mind.
- No, it´s just Laynie.

Probably feeling guilty
for having blown me off.

- What, you mean tonight?
- Yeah, some guy called her.

We were supposed to go out, but
she bailed on me last-minute..

- I´m an idiot.
- What?

She blew you off,
so you came to see me.

No, that´s not
how it happened.

Yeah, that is how it happened.
That´s how it always happens.

Your first choice doesn´t come
through, you come and find me.

- Your backup plan.
- I never think of you that way.

Maybe not intentionally.

I mean, don´t you realize
that makes it even worse?

It´s like you don´t even realize
how much that hurts somebody.

How much it hurts me.

- Look, I´m sorry if I--
- No. No, I´m sorry.

I mean, look, Amy, I know your
life is really rough right now

and I wanna be there for you.
I do, but not like this.

I can´t keep being
your second choice.

Not when you´re my first.

- Hanging out with your friends?
- Shouldn´t you be at practice?

Oh, no, wait.
You´re off the team.

Why don´t you take your new car
and, you know, drive it?

Away.

[laughs]

How about we just
call it a truce, okay?

Yeah, okay.

As long as I don´t
have to hug you or anything.

So did you end up, uh,
doing anything the other night?

Not really. Well, I went out
with Ephram, it got kinda weird.

- You guys finally hooked up.
- What? No.

Why would you say
something like that?

Because he´s, like,
mad in love with you

and he has been
for over the past year.

- It´s complicated.
- Maybe for you.

I think it´s pretty basic on his
end. What´s holding you up?

It´s just I don´t
wanna lie to him.

- I know if Colin were here--
- He´s not.

We all love Colin,
but he´s gone.

It sucks. If that´s the reason
you´re putting Ephram off

then I´m telling you, it´s okay.

If you´re looking for
permission, you got it from me

and Laynie
and the entire universe.

Just, I´m not ready for the
boyfriend-girlfriend stuff.

With Ephram, there´d
be no in-between.

Well, maybe not.

But you could do a lot worse.

People give me crap
for hanging out with Ephram.

But I don´t know.
He´s just, like--

- Funny.
- Yeah.

The other day, he´s telling
me a story about how

he´s driving a stick
for the first time.

He´s stuck on a hill. Eckelman
says, "What gear were you in?"

And he says, "My jeans
and my T-shirt."

[both laugh]

Yeah, I didn´t even
get it at first.

And he´s also gonna be pulling
down some serious jack

with his music one day.

Damn, maybe I should
ask him out.

All I´m saying, look,
is guys have pride.

He´s not gonna sit and let you
play mind games forever.

Soon he´s gonna get tired of
that and he´s gonna be gone.

Then what should I do?

You don´t have to do much.

Well, you know he´s taking
his driver´s test again today.

- Mm-hmm.
- So go.

Show up. You know,
be all supportive.

Everything else,
you guys will figure it out.

You may not feel the same way
for Ephram you did for Colin.

But you feel something.

Otherwise you wouldn´t be
sitting asking me for advice.

Oscar, Oscar.

[chuckles]

What are you up to now?

It seems Oscar was being
less than candid

with regards to his history
the other night.

A quick Google search and voilà.

- Geology professor, five years.
- Yeah. Visiting professor.

The man doesn´t
even have tenure.

I checked out
his Friendster page.

- Friendster? What´s that?
- The Internet dating service.

But apparently, Oscar fancies
himself quite the Lothario.

Get a load of these interests.

"Romance, Chinese cooking,
numismatics, European history,

long walks
on the beach."

We´re 1000 miles
from any beach. Fraud.

As I recall, you´re the one
who invited him over.

Thought he´d be a good match,
I found he was a dilettante.

Well, I think he´s nice.

I think you should stop meddling
in your sister´s affairs.

Oh, excuse me?

She´s the one who came here to
be a part of our family again.

Well, fine.
This is what families do.

Can´t have her besmirch
the Abbott name

by running off with the first
casserole through the door.

If you mean Andy Brown, I think
she could do a lot worse.

How?

It´s bad he came and started
this free-clinic charade.

Now he wants to carve
the turkey at our dinner?

My turkey with the
garlic-infused plum dressing?

You don´t even know
if Linda´s interested.

Think about it, Rose.
There could be nephews.

Miniature Andy Browns underfoot
with pale skin, black clothes.

"Uncle Harry, could I go to
the rap concert with Ephram?

We´re, like, hitchhiking."

Forgive me if I don´t wanna
be in the John Malkovich

version of
The Brady Bunch.

Get over yourself, Harold.

She´s a grown woman,
she´ll do what she likes.

And the more you protest,
the more she´ll wanna see him.

What if I´d listened
to my family?

What do you mean by that?

You know, you don´t
have to wait.

What? And miss all the fun?

You pass, I gloat.
You fail, I tease.

Oh, so this is really
win-win for you.

How was your date
the other night?

It wasn´t a date.

We´re just friends.

- Ephram Brown.
- Great.

Another round
with Nurse Ratched.

Good luck.

Don´t forget,
you own that bitch.

- Okay, we all set?
- Yeah.

I´ll take those.

Okay, Tom,
how many fingers do you see?

[piano music]

How many lines can you see?

[sighs]

Maybe it needs more time.
To get used to the light.

Catherine. It´s okay.

No, it´s not okay.

You should be able
to see the grid.

All those people.

What are we going to tell them?

Tell them the wedding
starts tomorrow at noon.

Dr. Andrew Brown
is going to officiate

and you are going
to look radiant.

Oh, thank you, I´ve got it.

Five steps from
the table to the door.

I´ve done it a hundred times.

It was a tough call, boss.

It wasn´t even close.

This wasn´t supposed to happen.

Flashing red is a full stop,
not just a slow down.

Your driver attention
could also use some work.

But you nailed
the parallel park.

Congratulations, Mr. Brown.

And may God help us all.

Well?

She said your car
could use new brakes.

- Ephram.
- Oh, and, uh, I passed.

You passed?

10 out of 10 on
the parallel park.

Ah, I knew you could do it!

I´m-I´m sorry. I--

[giggling]

- I´m sorry.
- Look, uh, Ephram.

I think you´re great and
I like hanging out with you.

And I never meant to give you
the wrong impression or anything

but, you know, I´m older.

And employed by your father.
And again, older.

I know. Those gray hairs
are blinding me.

Look, I´m sorry. I hear you.

It won´t happen again.

Okay. Can we rewind that,
do that the right way?

- Sure.
- Congratulations.

Thank you.

[instrumental music]

Thanks for seeing me
on a Saturday.

No problem.

Shh.

So do you live around here?

No, I fly in from L.A.
every other weekend.

What´s that smell?

Just a little CK One.

Harry!

Listen to me, you moron. There
will be no more blind dates.

No more setups. No more
pseudo-patients

trying to get my number.
I can take care of myself.

I do not need you to find a date
and I have no interest

in any man that
you might pick. Got it?

- I just want you to be happy.
- You don´t want me to be happy.

You just don´t want me
to be happy with Andy

whom I have zero intention
of ever dating.

Not today, not tomorrow,
not for the next thousand years.

So back off.

Sweet justice from above.
Thank you.

I´m the one who´s supposed
to be nervous.

I´m just feeling the pressure.

I wouldn´t wanna
blow the Lord´s Prayer

with an audience
full of priests.

It´s called a congregation.

And all you have to do is
start it off. They´ll take over.

How are you doing?

[sighs]

Last night, when we
left your office

all I wanted to do was go home
and curl up in bed.

I knew everyone
was waiting at the diner.

But I just couldn´t bear the
thought of having to face them.

We went in and I could feel it.

All their hopes and expectations
just crashing down around on me.

I wanted to offer them
comfort and solace.

I wanted to give them
the one true word

that would sustain their faith.

But I couldn´t.

I just stood there.

I should have come with you.

You know what happened?

Hugs.

Big, fat hugs from
some people that

believe me, you wouldn´t
want hugging you.

[laughs]

They had every reason
to believe that God

had forgotten them,
but they didn´t care.

All they wanted to do
was make me feel better.

Well, I´m not like them.

Or you.

Human tragedy doesn´t
move me to faith.

It just makes me question
God´s existence.

Good. That means he´s working.

You know what
my boy Kierkegaard said?

"Then comes affliction
to awaken the dreamer."

God isn´t meant to be
understood intellectually.

Sometimes he´s absent
on purpose.

He wants us to doubt.

It makes us stronger.

It opens other doors.

And as for tragedy,
I´m not dying, you know.

I´ve experienced more with my
senses in these past 18 months

than I have in my entire life.

I can feel Catherine, I can
touch her, I can smell her.

And I can hear every tiny

wonderful sound she makes.

And I love her just the same.

Maybe more.

(Rose)
´Sorry to interrupt.´

Dr. Brown, would you sign here?

- That´s it?
- Yeah.

Better get yourself
a good lobbyist

or you´re gonna be
out of work.

I think everybody´s ready.
Good luck.

You know, that Linda Abbott

she´s an attractive woman,
don´t you think?

- Come on, lover-boy.
- I´m just saying.

[instrumental music]

(Andy)
´Faith, hope and love.´

If you´ve ever been to a
wedding, you know the next part.

The greatest of these is love.

But today is different.

Today we honor a man and a woman
who represent all three.

As I´ve watched Tom and
Catherine over these past

few months, from the time

he first visited her shop
and couldn´t stop

talking about her

to the infamous first date

when he couldn´t be convinced
that bowling was a bad idea.

Especially for
the visually challenged.

[all chuckle]

And more recently, as their
faith has never wavered

despite countless doctor visits

and a parade of bad news

´I have been both
amazed and humbled.´

Their hope has been tested in
ways that we can never imagine.

And yet, it has grown stronger.

´And their love for
one another reminds us all´

´that the most beautiful
things in life´

´can´t be explained
by logic or by reason.´

They have to be
felt with the heart.

Amen.

Amen.

"The Four Seasons" playing]

[UP-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYING]

Hey, come on. Let´s dance.

Let the music move you.
Let the rhythm groove you.

Oh, boy. How many glasses of
champagne have you had, Harper?

Think I need to be drunk
to tango with my tamale?

You need to be drunk
to say "tango" and "tamale"

with no sense of irony
whatsoever.

Can you believe
I married this man?

Absolutely. If you´re not gonna
dance with him, I´m gonna.

Oh, ho. You heard
the woman. Dip me.

- My turn.
- Not yet. I get two.

- Says who?
- Says him.

[music continues]

- Champagne?
- No, thank you.

- Hello.
- Hey.

Ha, ha. That was quite
a sermon you gave.

Especially coming from
a heathen like yourself.

Well, what can I say?
I was inspired.

Well, they are
pretty inspirational.

(Andy)
´By the way, thanks for doing
Delia´s hair last night.´

It´s in my neighbor contract.
Signed it beginning of the year.

- You gotta read the fine print.
- Oh, really?

And what are
my neighborly obligations?

Dance with me at weddings.

[slow jazz playing]

Now that´s what I call timing.

Shall we?

[woman singing]

♫ At last ♫

♫ My love has come along ♫

♫ My lonely days..♫

You know, that´s
the groom´s cake.

They´re cutting
the real one later.

The groom has a cake? Who knew?

Feel like dancing?

Not really. This cake
looks tasty.

- Come on. We can talk.
- Dance and talk?

- You´re just asking too much.
- It involves an apology.

Ready when you are.

♫ The skies above are blue ♫

♫ My heart was
wrapped up in clover ♫

♫The night I looked at you ♫

You were right, Ephram.

About everything.

I have taken you for granted.

But, hey, you´re a better
person than I am.

Everybody else sees it.
I don´t know why you don´t.

As if you didn´t
know this already

I´m kind of a giant
mess right now.

I have been ever since
you´ve known me.

I might have been more normal
in junior high. I don´t know.

The point is

you deserve
someone great, Ephram.

Amazing, even.

Someone a little less like me

and a little more like you.

For an apology, that sounded
an awful lot like a breakup.

I´m sorry I wasted
your time, Ephram.

And it would kill me to think
that I wasted any more of it.

I want you to
promise me something.

Amy..

Promise me..

that you won´t let me and you

get in the way of
you and somebody else.

I promise.

♫ My heart was wrapped
up in clover ♫

- I passed my driver´s test.
- Really?

Congratulations.
I´m really happy for you.

♫ I found the dream ♫

♫ That I could speak to ♫

♫ A dream that I.. ♫

Michelangelo said
the best way to judge

the essential elements
of a sculpture

is to throw it down a hill

and the unimportant pieces
will break away.

Sometimes life is like that.

It tosses us down a hill.

But when we reach the bottom

and only the important
things are left

that´s when our vision clears.

That´s when we hold on
tight to what we know

while hope stirs inside us.

It´s all a matter
of perspective.
