'And in that area, we feel we're
extremely well-positioned.'

'And the governments
involved have already'

'passed some very friendly
legislation, so..'

Sounds risky.

Well, there's always
risk, Mr. Bayard

but we've got a seasoned
management team in place

and an asset-liability ratio
in excess of 3.5 to 1.

No long-term debt,
we feel very confident

that this is a-a great
opportunity for you.

And we'd love to include you
as one of our major investors.

Simon must have a lot
of confidence in you

to put you on a deal this big.

When did you make VP?

Two weeks ago.

But it's because
this is my first major deal

that I know it in and out and

breathe it, sleep it, eat it.

Um, if you'd like to go over

the cost-benefit analysis
one more time--

No, that won't be
necessary, Ms. Walker.

If all this checks out..

...I'm in.

You're in.

- Really?
- Really.

[laughs]
Really?

That's-that's wonderful. Really.

Well, I'll send you
the paperwork first thing

and if you have
any questions at all..

- 'Excuse me.'
- You have my number.

Ms. Walker, uh, Mr. Sims
is on the phone for you.

Sorry.

- Yeah, David?
- 'Lisa, sorry to bother you.'

[David on phone]
'But I just got a call
from a doctor in Pittsburgh'

'regarding a death certificate'

'for someone named
Stanley Krasne.'

'Apparently, he has you
listed as next of kin.'

'Do you know
anything about this?'

I'm-I'm sorry.
I can't talk right now.

Can I call you later?

- 'Of course.'
- Okay.

Everything alright?

Yes. I'm sorry.

I, uh, I better hurry
ifI'm gonna catch

that last flight
out of Heathrow.

It's a real pleasure doing
business with you, Mr. Bayard.

Yes, it was.

[sighs]

[Lisa]
'Hey, Melville.'

[sighs]

'Uh, no, that's collateralized'

'against the mortgages
on phase one'

'if we don't consider
that a significant factor.'

Twelve, twelve million shares?

I need that by noon.

Okay.

[knocking]

Uh, look, I'm gonna check
with state again

and then I'll get back to you

with the new numbers. Okay?

Yeah. No problem.

[sighs]
Shoot me now.

[chuckles]
Delivery for you
out at reception.

What is it?

Delivery for you
out at reception.

[instrumental music]

[male #1]
'They'll last longer
if you put a little'

7 Up in the water.

I-I know it sounds
weird, but, uh, it works.

Here.

Sign here.

Okay. Anywhere?

Just, uh, right over there.

- Thank you.
- Thanks.

Enjoy them.

Oh, I will.

Yeah. Hello?

[Lisa on phone]
'Hey, Danny, uh, did you
send me something today?'

Like?

Well..

...someone sent me some flowers.

It wouldn't have occurred to me.

Yeah. That's what I thought.

- 'Danny, he's here.'
- Two seconds.

- 'Alright.'
- Yeah, I got to go.

Okay. Bye.

[telephone dialing]

[automated message]
'Hi. Thanks for calling.'

'If you want,
you can leave a message'

'but if you don't,
I'll understand.'

[beep]

Hi, um, it's me.

You didn't, um..

...send me some flowers
you couldn't possibly afford

did you? Um, I'm at work.

Just call me later.

Bye.

Anyway, now it looks like
it'll be at least another

four to six weeks
before we can get

any kind of functional
infrastructure into place.

And, um, if these
numbers are right

uh, we're looking at another
12 to 16 before going online.

Right.
That should do it for now.

[Simon]
'Stay a minute?'

How are you, Lisa?

- I'm fine.
- Good.

I want you to take
the rest of the day off.

Pardon?

I want you to take
tomorrow off too.

In fact, I don't want to see you

for the rest of the week.

- Simon, I'm fine.
- Good to hear.

You'll enjoy the time off more.

Don't misunderstand.

This isn't some kind
of altruistic gesture.

You can have
your hands full with this.

I want you in top condition.

This isn't necessary.

This isn't a discussion,
if I see you

anywhere near this place
before Monday, you're fired.

Excuse me.

- Oh!
- Oh.

- Late lunch?
- Oh.

More like an early retirement.

- What?
- Till Monday morning.

Forced vacation.

My sympathies.

2 o'clock
on a Tuesday afternoon

what do people do?

I have to catch my breath,
they're so cute!

'Alright, I know
all of you are gonna love'

'my guests today because
they're five of your favorite'

daytime leading men..

The terrible news
is she has 40 dog outfits

but you don't have a dog!

[man on TV]
'I'll tell you what we're gonna
do, we'll take a little break.'

And when we come back
from this break

'we're gonna talk about
how we do this show.'

[sighs]

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

[door opens]

[male #2]
'48 Spring Street,
apartment 3A.'

'Yes, I've got it.'

We'll be there by 5
at the latest.

Thank you.

Rush, rush, rush.

Uh, can I help you?

Um, yeah, I hope so.

Um, I called earlier today

about a delivery I received.

- No name on the card.
- Oh, Walker, right?

- Right.
- Hey, Jimmy!

'Do you know anything
about a floral for Walker'

that went out this morning?

No. It wasn't me.

Wait a minute.
What am I thinking?

Today's Tuesday.

Yep. He still must be there.

"Suddenly, the boy felt

"the zephyr begin to shake.

'"The sound of the water
rushing past'

'"the hull grew louder.'

'"The air filled with spray'

'"as the boat sliced
through the waves.'

'"The bow slowly began to lift'

'"higher and higher!'

'The zephyr was flying."'

[indistinct] everything alright?

Oh, I'm feeling much better.

'How are you doing?'

Uh, pretty good.

Lisa Walker.

Right.

I'll see you later.

- Um..
- Um..

How are your, uh, flowers?

Oh, um,
they're-they're beautiful.

Um, look, I don't-I don't mean

to seem obsessive, but your boss

I spoke to him,
and he-he said that there's

no record of who sent them

and he said maybe
you'd know something.

I mean, I have to know,
you know.

Um..

Well, I have to, uh

I have to be someplace.
You wanna walk with me?

There's nothing like
hearing a story read out loud.

She's-she's great too.

A real natural storyteller.

Do you go to story hour a lot?

Well, I haven't,
I haven't been lately.

She's been sick.

Look, um..

I, uh, I-I did take the order

but, you know,
just to be honest with you

I don't feel like it would be
right to tell you.

I mean, I know
they're your flowers and all

but, uh, it just seemed
really important to the person

that they stay anonymous.

I'm sure if the situation
were reversed

you'd want the same thing.

That's not very likely.

Oh. Why?

If I wanted to cheer someone up

by sending them flowers,
I wouldn't..

...make them so crazy
by not signing the card

that they couldn't even
enjoy the stupid things

in the first place, you know?

It sort of defeats the purpose.

You're not gonna tell me?

I'm-I'm sorry.

[female #2]
Someone sent you flowers?

Who sent you flowers?

Listen, I'll be
at Puffy's around 6:30.

You should come drink
adult beverages with me.

Hey, how come
you're not at work?

[indistinct chatter]

[instrumental music]

Alright. Let's break this down.

We're running out of options
of people who would have..

Thank you.

Did anyone else
know about Stanley?

Maybe someone back in Pittsburgh
sent them or something.

No. Mm-mm. Not a soul.

How about Captain Thoughtful?

[chuckles]
Um, it wouldn't
have occurred to him.

- He said that.
- No, he didn't.

No, Danny is, uh..

- Yeah.
- You know, he's..

He's the romantic
equivalent of a night-light.

You say that
as if that's bad thing.

I don't have time
in my life for anything more.

I'm a VP, remember?

Okay, so if it wasn't Danny

and it sure as hell
wasn't me--

It was nobody!

Somebody likes you.

Stop it.

Come on. Why not?

Your prince has
finally showed up

on his to steed
to sweep you off your feet.

It's a nice fantasy.

What fantasy?

You got the flowers.

Yeah, but I live
on a little planet

called reality
where stuff like that

just doesn't happen,
and even if it did..

Yeah?

I'm not the sort of person
that they happen to.

It was probably just some..

...clerical error
of the floral world.

Yeah.

And even if it wasn't

Prince Charming
probably would have

turned out to be a dick.

I'm serious too.

It's safer this way.

You'd just be disappointed.

I'll keep the fantasy, though.

An anonymous gift
from a secret admirer?

I could go for years on that.

And I guarantee you
that even my dullest fantasy

would be ten times more romantic

than the truth could ever be.

[sighs]
Oh, God, you got

material like this,
who wants the truth?

[switch clicks]

[slurping]

[sighs]

This is terrible. Dallas.

Two hundred and thirty-seven
people just dropped

'right out of the sky.'

Joey let you in.

After being tortured
long and mercilessly.

What are you eating?

- Pork?
- No. It's chicken.

Oh, my God.

Would you look at that?

I've been watching
for, like, three hours.

'It's the same images
over and over.'

I'm completely addicted.

Oh, where's Mel?

- I don't know.
- Oh, no.

- Really?
- Yep.

Oh, didn't the feeder work?

It worked fine.

I think he just died
of loneliness.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Hey, why aren't you
at work, anyway?

And who sent the flowers?

[chuckles]

Can we just not talk right now?

Okay.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

Stanley?

Sarah from school

is having a birthday party

on Saturday

and is it okay if I go?

I'm gonna be on the road
all next week.

Uh..

Why don't you ask Mrs. Elkins?

'Maybe she'll take you.'

Stanley.

When's my birthday?

You don't have one.

[gasps]

[music continues]

[gasps]

[sighs]

[gasps]

- Hey.
- Ah!

Hi.

I, uh, hoped I might

find you here.

Look, um, the, the, uh, store
doesn't open for another hour.

Do you wanna, do you wanna
get something to eat?

It's a public place.
You'll be perfectly safe.

There you go.

[male #1]
'Do you want anything to eat?'

- 'No. No, I don't.'
- 'No?'

You ready?

Um, nothing for, uh, the lady.

I'm gonna have
a bowl of corn flakes

and a little glass of milk.

- Okay.
- Thanks.

Look, I just, I-I came down
to tell you that--

I-I-I sent you the flowers.

You?

Um, you see, I, uh..

I like to take these walks

at-at night, mostly.

I-I like to look up
at all the darkened windows

and just wonder
what people's lives

were like and what they're
dreaming about. You know?

One night, I was out pretty late

and as, uh, as usual

all the windows
were dark...except one.

And I stopped, and I looked up.

I saw you..

...standing there, and, uh..

...and you were crying
and I thought

what-what was it
that made you so sad?

So I followed you to work
the next morning

'found out your name..'

And you made this incredible

arrangement of flowers for
someone you've never even met?

Yeah, I'm really sorry if, uh..

...if I was strange yesterday.

'Somehow, it just seemed
really important to..'

To keep it a mystery.

Yeah.

Look, what are-what are you
doing the rest of the day?

Pardon?

Why don't we-why don't we

spend it together?

[chuckles]
What?

[chuckles]

No. No!

I know, I know.
This is all very, very strange.

To say the least, I mean,
it's not the kind of thing

that I do every day either.

Well, that's good.

Uh, besides, if you don't come

how else are you gonna

solve the rest of the mystery?

These are, uh, Foxgloves.

They do well
in northern climates.

- They're beautiful.
- Here's, uh, Agapanthus.

It's a good flower. A little
finicky about moisture, though.

Oh, nothing worse
than a finicky Agapanthus.

[chuckles]
No.

They're all gonna be gone soon.

Cold weather and everything.

Oh, yeah.

That's, uh, Heliotrope there.

That's my personal favorite.

Why?

Ah, it just reminds me
of the past.

There was a lot of it
around where I grew up.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

Well, what's yours?

Oh. Favorite?

- Yeah.
- I don't know.

Roses, I guess.

Pretty boring, huh?

No. no, nothing boring
about a classic.

So, you from the city?

I-I grew up in Pittsburgh.

That where your family is?

- Um..
- No, I..

I don't mean
to push or anything.

I just, uh..

You know, a friend of mine
got some once

they, roses, I mean.

They were this, uh,
pale lavender gray that--

Sterling roses. Yeah.

- Yeah?
- Yeah, those are beautiful.

- It's a thornless kind.
- Yes, that's-that's right.

Only you know, I really think
that-that they ought to have

thorns to balance it out

because otherwise,
they're just too perfect.

I don't know. It, uh..

It kind of seems like
there's enough thorns

out there as it is.

I think every now and then, um

everybody's entitled to
too much perfection. You know?

Have you always been
interested in plants?

I think my, uh..

...my grandfather,
actually, he got me into it.

He was sort of known
around the house

as the king
of amateur gardeners.

He was really, really bad at it.

I mean, he had
a real black thumb. You know?

You're close to your family.

Yeah. Pretty bizarre, huh?

No.

Oh, I forgot
what this feels like.

- Hmm?
- It feels so decadent.

Decadent? How do you mean?

I didn't get
anything done today.

You got a lot done.

No. You know, done.

I failed to earn my keep.

I did not contribute
to the gross national product.

Did you have fun?

It's utterly beside the point.

This is, uh, this is me.

Oh.

Well..

Uh, do you wanna, uh,
do you wanna come up?

Uh..

I'd better not.

[chuckles]
Why?

Because I'm a psycho

who wanders the streets at night

and follows
beautiful women to work?

- Basically.
- Ha.

Well, see, actually, there's, um

there's something I just really
would like you to see.

It's not gonna be
around much longer and, uh

it would, um...I mean,
you don't have to

but it would just
mean a lot to me

if-if you came up
and-and-and saw it.

Here. After, uh, after you.

[Lisa]
'Have you lived here long?'

Uh...almost four years.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Um, would you, uh,
like some tea?

No, thanks.

It's a reproduction.

It was painted as a study.

[instrumental music]

It's, uh, it's up here.

Need any help?

It's, uh, this way.

[chuckles]

[gasps]

[music continues]

This is incredible!

[birds chirping]

- You're Lewis.
- Yeah.

It was my, uh,
grandfather's name too.

Actually, I named
the store after him.

But...you deliver flowers.

I, uh, I like to see
people's faces

when they're just
falling in love

or making up from a fight

even if they're grieving.

There's something beautiful
about a person's

face at that moment.

Yours was incredible..

...confused and shocked.

[music continues]

I have, have to go.

I-I'm sorry.

[water sloshing]

[door bell dings]

- Who is it?
- 'It's me.'

God, it's starting to get cold.

I'm flying to Phoenix
to move in with my mother.

She'll be thrilled.

Get it?

Nice flowers!

Excuse me. But what the hell
is going on?

[sighs]

Here.

Okay, what is it?

What's going on?

- I found out who it was.
- You found out--

I found out who it was,
and he's great.

This is who
sent you the flowers?

- Uh-huh.
- Okay.

So you found out who sent you
these great flowers

and it turns out
it's this guy who's great

and this is really
a terrible thing because

because.. Why is this
a terrible thing?

[sighs]

Okay. It's okay.
Everything's gonna be okay.

I have no idea
what's going on here, but..

I know. It seems crazy.

No, no, no.

Is this about Danny? I mean,
are you worried about Danny?

No! Oh, no.

Danny's fine. I mean, we..

It's not like a spend-the-night
kind of relationship.

That's the last thing
either of us wanted.

We just keep
each other around for--

Nocturnal lighting purposes?

- So?
- So..

I'm not in the market.

I don't have
any room in my life

for someone who's great.

- I mean, I work for a living.
- Right.

And I'm very good at my job.

No one disputes this.

I'm just..

I just don't think
I'm up for this.

[door bell dings]

Oh, my God.

What?

It's him.

- Who?
- You get it.

I.. Wh..

What.. uh..

Who is it?

[Jimmy]
'Delivery.'

It's him.

It's..

- What is it?
- 'Flowers.'

Ah, that's,
that's what he does.

He's a delivery boy?

It's sort of a hobby.

It's.. Ah..

What do you want me to say?

Tell him nobody's home.

But he's got flowers.
Forget it.

We've seen
what you do with those.

Kim!

Can I please just see

what Mr. Right looks like?

Just..

Delivery?

Is Mr. Right kind of short

about 16, with a little..

Alright.

There you go.

[sighs]

[instrumental music]

"Thank you for a day
of too much perfection."

Oh.

[sighs]

[music continues]

[door bell dings]

[music continues]

No. No.

They took a break
between 12 and 8.

Other than that,
they've been coming on the hour.

I don't know
where to put them anymore.

[Kim on phone]
'That little guy
must be exhausted.'

No. There's another one too.

- They go in shifts.
- 'Honey--'

No, no, I know, I know.
It's great.

But he's just wasting it

on the wrong person.

[Kim on phone]
'Marry him. Marry him now.'

[door bell dings]

'Oh, my God.'

This can't continue.

[Lewis]
'No, no, no.
That's not gonna be enough.'

I'm gonna need
at least another 12 dozens.

Well, fly them in
if you have to. Alright?

It's important. Thanks.

You're gonna blow this, buddy.

[sighs]

Have you called Morrow's yet?

You cleaned them out
about six hours ago.

I'm telling you,
you're gonna scare her off.

I already did that.

Jeez, Lewis,
not for nothing, but--

Randy, I just found her.

I screwed up once in my life.

I don't wanna do it again.

Rosen's. We haven't
tried Rosen's yet.

Hey, Pete. This is Lewis.

I was wondering
if you had any more..

Uh, I'll call you back.

- Hey.
- Hi.

I'll, uh, I'll clean up.

- Alright?
- Yeah.

- Hi.
- How are you doing?

Jimmy, let's go.

Take it easy.

I-I cleaned out the city.

It's all in my apartment.

Look, um, I'm sorry
about yesterday.

That was, that was all wrong.

I-I moved too fast.

No, no, you didn't
move too fast.

I'm-I'm just not
used to having, uh..

Look, I-I know
I don't really know you

but, uh, yesterday
was one of the nicest days

I've had in a long time.

I just..

I forgot..

It's not, it's not you.
It's me.

Just..

You're just wasting
it on the wrong girl.

I won't, uh, bother you anymore.

You're not..

...you're not bothering me.

My, uh..

My wife painted this.

She used to..

...to work for museums
restoring paintings.

I was, uh, still
on the trading floor

when she did that one.

[sighs]

See, we, uh..

...we met in high school

started dating
and after I got this job

as a runner at Goldman Sachs
working these 14-16 hour days

paid my dues, got my own desk

six months later, we, uh

we got married.

'And she stayed home,
and she painted'

and I kept climbing the ladder.

[sighs]
Then she, uh, she got pregnant.

'One night, I was
working pretty late'

and I got this call and they

they told me
that she'd gone into labor.

And...and that, uh,
there were complications.

I-I lost everything
in one second.

'So I just, I-I cashed out.'

[chuckles]
Then one day, I saw this guy

he was delivering flowers
and-and I thought

'"Maybe that's what
I should do.'

'I'll just, uh,
deliver flowers."'

Has to be the best
job in the world. You know?

Everybody's always
happy to see you.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry
to lay all this on you.

[instrumental music]

[sighs]

One question.

Why me?

I guess..

I guess I finally
looked up..

...and, and your light was on.

[music continues]

[music continues]

[chuckles]

Hey!

Hey.

Morning.

[chuckles]

Did you, uh, did you sleep well?

Yeah. Um, my clothes?

Uh, right, I, uh, I took them
to the dry cleaners.

I-I hope that's okay.

I just, I had some things
to get at the grocery--

So I'm a hostage.

Uh, I can go get them
real easy.

I'm just kidding.

Uh, I also got you,
uh, some, uh, toothpaste

and your own toothbrush
and-and, uh

uh, you-your own bathrobe

so you don't have to
walk around in the sheet.

And there's some
new towels in there too.

Exactly what time did you
get up this morning?

Yeah. Uh-uh, bacon.
Do you like bacon?

Because, you know,
I wasn't sure, so I got, uh

I got some ham and I got
some steaks, um..

But if you're not a meat eater,
you know, I didn't know.

So, uh, if you want, uh,
I got-I got some of these

tomatoes here and,
uh, some green peppers.

And, um, uh,
but I don't know. Maybe--

Coffee.

Co.. Uh, coffee.

Uh, regular or decaf?

Or maybe you want some tea.

Some English breakfast,
Earl grey, orange pekoe?

Coffee, coffee, coffee. Fine.

- Coffee.
- Coffee.

Uh, sweet 'n low? Sugar?

Half-and-half? Milk?

- Black.
- Black?

You know, we don't actually
have to eat at all.

Um, I mean,
I notice the other morning

you didn't order any breakfast.

I wasn't sure if that was
because you weren't a

breakfast eater or because you
thought I was gonna kill you.

Yeah. I...was.

Actually, I'm starving.

Are you? Good. Good.

I must seem pretty
ridiculous here.

- Mm-hmm.
- I'm not sure, you know.

Oh.

[chuckling]

[Kim on phone]
'You're kidding.'

[Lisa]
'It was amazing. He's amazing.'

I mean...we delivered flowers.

I wore a hat.

It's just,
the whole thing was..

...just completely..

[Kim]
'Amazing?

- Look who's back.
- Hey.

We'll talk later.
You'll tell me everything.

- 'Hello?'
- Yes. Hi. I'm sorry.

[telephone ringing]

- Can you hang on a sec?
- 'Sure.'

Thanks.

Hello.

Aha! The creature lives.

- 'Where have you been?'
- Danny.

You've been working all weekend
again, haven't you?

- Can you hang on a sec?
- 'Uh-huh.'

Thanks.

- Um, it's Danny.
- 'Oi.'

Yeah. Can I call you later?

- 'You better.'
- Alright.

Bye.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Um, can you have lunch?

Come on. Guess.

[female #3]
'You and your mysteries, Lewis.
I swear..'

'I don't know. What, you heard
the most amazing new story?

- No.
- 'Um, you bought a new hoe?'

Come on, Wen,
you're not even trying.

What, you built,
you built a-a beach

on top of the World Trade Center
or what?

I, uh, I met somebody.

Sam, I'm going to need the car!

[Wendy]
'Well, it's a great story.'

'Standing in the window'

Juliet on the balcony.

I just don't want to make any
mistakes this time, that's all.

I just wanna get
everything right.

I want it to be perfect.

Lewis..

...do you, um, do you remember
when you were, like, uh..

God, you must have been
Jason's age like seven or eight

and, uh, you were working with
Grandpa Lewis in the garden?

Yeah-yeah-yeah, he was teaching
me how to water the plants

and I thought
if a little water was good

then a bunch, I don't know
how grandpa put up--

By the time we stopped you

the whole place
looked like Thailand.

Right. Lake Lewis.

I was very proud of that.

It's just that, you know

this is your first
time out there, you know.

I just...I would
really be afraid

to see you put too much on this.

Hmm.

Well, I think it might be
too late for that.

I think I'm in love with her.

It's great.

[Kim]
So how did it end up?

[Lisa]
He was actually
pretty relieved, I mean

we'd been going for a pretty
long stretch this time.

Listen, how about
I come over later

and maybe bring us a pizza?

I can't. I'm leaving early.

Oh, I..

...excuse me?

You don't, you don't
remember that?

- 'Come on. Hello?'
- The fruit cocktail.

Thank you.

That year we were the only two

who didn't go home
for...winter break, so..

We went up on the roof
and ate fruit cocktail

and drank Peppermint Schnapps

until I threw up
all over the place.

So, uh, how come you,
uh, you didn't go home?

My mother was going through
one of her nightmare

dominatrix periods.

You really don't want to know.

[Lisa]
No, you don't.

Why don't you tell him
about, um, the kids?

I warp young minds.

She works for, um,
an outreach program.

'Explain it to him.'

Well, you know,
we work on building

their self-esteem,
working with them as a team

and every year we put on a play.

Like, for example,
we put a little girl

who maybe isn't so pretty
as "Beauty"

in "Beauty and the beast."

- That kind of thing.
- That's fantastic.

Yeah, when it works.

Right now we got
a real tough case, though.

This seven-year-old girl.

What, what's wrong with her?

She's...extremely bright.

She builds
these incredible things

all by herself,
but whenever another kid

gets near her,
the lights...go off.

Do you know
what happened to her?

She-she had it rough.

Her adoptive parents
are really great

But, uh..

...they don't know
what else to do.

Hmm.

You know, I forgot.

Um...I have to
make a phone call.

Excuse me.

- So..
- So..

So you, uh..

You must be wondering who I am.

Someone who's..

...making Lisa as happy
as I've ever seen her.

But?

But...if you hurt her

I'll kill you, okay?

[Lewis]
And so he went up
into the stands..

[Lisa]
In the middle of the race?

[Lewis]
Yeah, in the middle of the race.

He asked her to dinner,
and that was it.

How about you?
How did your parents meet?

They met at, um..

...at a dance.

At a VFW mixer.

My mom had a cold

and, um..

...my dad was there
too, you know

and he-he was, uh...he just kept

asking her to dance, and she was

too embarrassed
because of her cold.

She was sneezing and everything.

So he just offered
to walk her home.

And, and they did,
it turned out they

lived in the same building.

- Wow.
- Yeah.

And, um..

...they got married
just six weeks later.

That's a great story.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

I think our story's the best.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

[telephone rings]

- Lisa Walker.
- When is your birthday?

- What?
- Just, you know.

In case on a whim I feel like,
uh, getting you something.

Well, I was never
real big on birthdays.

I just, you know, I want,
I want to put it down here.

April 1st.

April 1st? Your birthday
is on April Fools' day?

Listen, I real..
I've got to go.

- I'm really busy.
- Okay.

Okay. Bye.

[knocks on door]

[instrumental music]

- Hey.
- Hey.

Oh, I, uh, I tried you at work.

What did you have,
a late meeting?

I left early.

Left early? It's after 10.

What is it?

I love you.

[sighs]

I love you too.

[indistinct chatter]

- Hi.
- Hi!

[laughs]

- It's cute.
- I'm a Jewish elf.

How you doing? How's work?

Oh, let's see.

Uh, yesterday,
I knocked over a display

of dishwasher-safe crockery.

- Oh, no.
- So today, I'm in notions.

Can I have some coffee, please?

So how you been?

I thought
you'd fallen off the edge.

Hmm, how is, uh

how's things at school?

Not great.

I just finished writing
this year's play.

The performance
is supposed to be the 23rd.

I was hoping
you'd be able to come.

Oh, of course, yeah.
I wouldn't miss it.

So how's married life?

Oh, come on.

- You're living with him.
- I still have my place.

You're living with him.

So you two got big plans
for Christmas?

We're supposed to go to his
family's place for the holidays.

Supposed to?

Yeah, you know, the whole
meet-the-family routine.

You know, I play the girlfriend.

'I don't even know
what the big deal is.'

I mean, it seems like all the
functions family used to serve

'are served by, by friends
and colleagues now anyway.'

'I mean, the whole thing sounds
pretty prehistoric to me.'

You haven't told him
anything about you yet.

Ah, I'm just wondering

what happens when he wants
to marry you, which he will.

And then how are you
gonna explain your side

of the aisle at the wedding?

'It'll be me and me.'

I don't see why I have
to explain anything, Kim.

You're right.
You don't. You shouldn't.

You should just stay
in your little fantasy world

because it's, it's safe there.

- I'm leaving.
- Yeah, right.

Run away. Bye-bye.

Don't forget your umbrella.

- You know, you're just jealous.
- Excuse me?

Yeah, you'd just rather
I stay miserable

and-and wait around with you
for a prince on a white horse.

But then when it happens to me
for real, you can't take it.

For real?

Lisa, he doesn't even
know who you are.

Honey..

No, no, no. Get out of there.

What do you think, I am Scrooge?

Thanks, man.

So you're gonna be leaving soon?

Uh, we leave in the morning.

- 'Uh, is she psyched?'
- Completely.

Meeting the family. Big time.

[Lewis on phone]
'Bigger than you know, buddy.'

Uh, listen, would you mind
loading the leftover poinsettias

in the back of the van?

- Hey, it's already done.
- 'You're a genius.'

Merry Christmas, Lewis.

You, too, man. Merry Christmas.

Uh, Kim called again.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

She left the information.

I don't know, maybe she thought
you might change your mind.

Well..

You know, I'd love
to go but, you know..

I'll call her.

Right.

We're, uh, we're all packed

so we should probably get
an early start tomorrow.

Um..

I can't go with you tomorrow.

I know, I know
it's really bad timing

but I-I should have
said something before

but I thought
I'd be able to get out and..

You know, we've just
got this whole licensing mess

crashing down on us.

This has nothing
to do with work.

W-what?

I, um..

I found your address book

and there's no listing in there
for a Richard or Ellen Walker.

The only number
for Pittsburgh I could find

was for somebody
named Stanley Krasne.

I also found..

I also found this picture.

'Was that you and your father?'

I don't know
when my birthday is.

When I was three months old

I was found
at the Pittsburgh airport.

It's great, huh?

'They, uh, put me
in a shelter home'

'and then I was
placed with this couple.'

The woman died
right after they got me

but the man petitioned
the state to keep me

and they said okay, so, um..

That's, um..

He sold auto parts and mufflers

and spark plugs.

And, um, he drank

and he, um..

His name was Stanley and..

...he died just
a couple months ago.

Phew! That's it. Big deal.

It's pretty disappointing, huh?

I don't even think
I could get on Oprah

with that one these days.

Anyway, um..

I'm sorry about all that.

I'm sorry, but..

I-I-I can't go
with you tomorrow.

[indistinct chatter]

[audience applauding]

[Kim]
'Listen,
I want you to go out there.'

You know the play.
You know what you have to do.

And I want you
to trust me, okay?

Go for it.

[girl #1]
'We're so sorry, princess.'

[boy #1]
'We never meant
to leave you alone.'

Please come back.

Please come back,
Princess Amelia.

'I know
it's easier to stay safe.'

'Safe in your dreams'

'where no one could hurt you.'

But no one could
love you there, either.

Please come back,
Princess Amelia.

Please wake up
and let us love you.

[instrumental music]

[audience applauding]

And then when he kissed me,
I wished he didn't really

have to kiss me, but
then it wasn't really that bad.

Can we do it again?

We'll see.

Hi.

It was, uh, it was great.

I'll go, uh, talk to Lisa.

- Hey.
- 'Hey.'

Can I still come with you?

I changed my mind.

Would you mind
grabbing me an apple?

Can we turn the car around?

They're right
there behind your seat.

I'm gonna be sick.

Why don't we spend
Christmas at home?

We can watch
"It's A Wonderful Life"

'for the millionth time
and snuggle up by the fireplace'

'and order curry
from Tandoori Palace'

and make love all night long.

- Please?
- Nah.

We don't have a fireplace.

[instrumental music]

This is it.

Maybe we should go in.

So this is what
they call nature, huh?

Yeah, I suppose
that's what they call it.

You know, if we leave now,
we could be eating chutney by 8.

I love you.

Gee, that changes everything.

You alright?

Do I look like
a total gumbyhead?

Gumbyhead? No.
You look beautiful.

It's gonna be alright.

Mom!

- Hey, come on in.
- How are you?

Good, sweetie. How are you?

This is, uh, this is Lisa.

Oh, Lisa, welcome!

Oh, come on, take your coat off.

- 'Hi, Uncle Lewis!'
- Hey, how's it going?

Be careful out there,
sweetie, it's slippery.

I put Wendy and Sam in the
guest room because of the baby

so I put the queen-size
in Lewis' room.

- 'I hope that's okay.'
- What, Mark's old one?

[female #5]
'It's been down
in the basement.'

We turned his room
into my office.

Jason, stop that.

Come say hi
to Uncle Lewis and Lisa.

- Hey, hey.
- 'Jason.'

Uh, look this
is Bob and Eva Franklin.

- Hi.
- Hey, sis!

This is my sister Wendy
and her husband Sam.

Hey, guy. Hi, nice to meet you.

- This is Lisa.
- Nice to meet you.

- Hi.
- And, uh, this is Katie.

Hi.

'Jason, stop that now'

'or I'm gonna break your arm.'

Hey, hey, say hi, Jas.

[Jason]
'Hi, Jas!'

Jason is eight.
Can you excuse me?

Mark, your brother
and Lisa are here!

Taylor!

Where's dad?

He went to his meeting.

Then he has
to pick up a few things.

It's AA, 15 years in march.

And Grandma Jean is, uh..

[Wendy]
'Last time I saw her,
she was on her way upstairs.'

'I thinks she was
gonna go take a nap.'

Jason's been a handful today.

Your Aunt Meg
will be here later.

Oh, God, please tell me that
her camera's still broken.

She's got a new one now.
Auto-wind.

She's a pathological
picture taker.

[Mark]
'Pinhead!'

- 'Eh, hey!'
- Hey.

How are you, buddy?

Good to see you.

Markie, this is Lisa.

- Hi, Lisa.
- Hi.

- Where's Taylor?
- 'He's just finishing up.'

We've been making sure
that all the reindeer

on Mrs. Jarrod's lawn
are anatomically correct.

[Lewis]
'That's my brother.'

Hey, there he is.

[female #5]
'You forgot the raspberries!'

No, I did not forget
the raspberries.

They're in the truck.

[female #5]
'Okay, you're off the hook.'

There's my boy!

- Good to see you.
- Good to see you.

And who's this?

I know who this is.

Hi, Lisa. Welcome. Welcome.

They're, uh, tactile people.

It's okay.

Oh, you kids must be
tired after your trip.

You wanna catch
your breath before dinner.

Is that what I smell?

Oh, shut up.

'It's a little chilly up here.'

Tom still hasn't fixed
the weather stripping

so I put an extra
comforter in your room

'and there's some extra
blankets in this chest..'

'There're some sweaters up here
in the shelf and there's, uh'

'extra space heater
down there, but it's old'

and makes a lot of noise,
if you need anything

you just yell, okay?

Thank you.

Lisa, we're really
happy to have you here.

Thank you, I feel very nauseous

uh, anxious, I mean, welcome.

I feel really welcome.

- Thank you.
- You are welcome.

Your mom must think I'm crazy.

You okay?

Your parents,
everyone is so nice.

It's all so nice.

No. We're plenty screwed up.

God, somebody kept me up
half the night arguing

and the other half making up.

I have three
very interesting children

who always keep me surprised.

I have friends, old and new.

Family, old and new.

And I just want
to wish all of us

a very, very Merry Christmas.

[all]
Merry Christmas.

Dig in. Dig in.
Dig in. Dig in. Dig in.

That was sweet.

[indistinct chatter]

[instrumental music]

That's a wolf.

Wolf. There's another wolf.

There's three wolves.

See the wolf?

All the little wolvsies.

That's his tail.

He's got a tail.

'Oh, look at the mountains.'

'You climb mountains
so high, it seems..'

[Jason]
'Hurry up, you guys!'

- What is this?
- Oh, you'll see.

[female #5]
'Hey, you guys!'

Sam, honey?

[Wendy]
'Hi, mom.'

[Mark]
'Okay, here we go.'

See, we, uh,
we have this tradition

that everybody gets to open
one gift on Christmas eve.

Sort of a little preview
of tomorrow's orgy of greed.

So, who's first?

Me, me, me, me!

Uh, I think
we have something for Jas.

Jason, do you want
to open a present?

Dad, it's right there, under
the tree, right to the left.

[male #3]
'This one? Yeah.'

'There you go.'

Yeah, that's, uh,
David Copperfield.

That was my favorite book
when I was your age.

Or around your age.

Oh, thanks.

Come on,
there's something else there.

That's from Lisa and me.

Oh, cool!

The Legends of Zordak 2.

[Meg]
'Hold it!'

[Lewis]
'Uh, I'm going to break
that camera, I swear.'

I love this!
I bet it makes perfect froths.

It's got color-coded
instructions for you.

This is beautiful.
I don't have to try it.

- Oh, you don't..
- Okay, go ahead, go ahead.

I kept the receipt..

Uh, Wendy?

- 'Excuse me.'
- Yeah.

- 'Duty calls.'
- Yeah, come here, Katie.

Come here, sweetie.

There you go.

There you go.

Oh, wait a minute!

Does Lisa have something?

Uh, no, no. It's okay.

Oh, no, no. Lisa, let's see.

Honey, right there?

- No, I'm..
- Mom, mom, no, no, no.

I-I got this one.

Here.

Merry Christmas.

Open it.

Lewis.

Um, uh..

Honey, are you okay?

I just need to..

...air.

- Lisa! What?
- I can't do this.

I don't belong here.
Let go, please.

What is it? What happened?

What did I do?

You just proposed to me
in front of your entire family.

I, I thought it would be nice.
I wanted to share it with them.

Nice? Share?

You always talk about
how you don't wanna

put too much of pressure on me.

What are you talking about?

You push too hard, Lewis.

You just push too hard!

What did you expect me to say?

I expected you to say yes.

Then we'd, then we'd live
happily ever after.

This isn't a fairy tale, Lewis.

I mean, everything has had to be
too perfect from the beginning.

And I just
can't live up to that.

You, you,
you want to rescue someone

and I was in a window

and my light was on.

Uh, wait a second.

Maybe that was true
in the beginning, okay?

But I mean, since then,
I have fallen in love with you.

I-I want to spend
the rest of my life with you.

You just can't admit
that somebody could

actually love you.
That's what it is.

Mm, maybe you're right. I mean..

You have an entire
house full of people

who love you
and have always loved you.

And you don't have
to question that.

You have a wall
full of pictures of memories

of children
of things I've never had.

And you talk about
having a family with me.

If I had a child, I have no idea
what I would do with one.

I-I have nothing to give.

I can't pretend anymore.

I just can't do this.

I, I can't do this.

Look, I'm, I'm sorry.

I, I didn't..

...I didn't mean to scare you.

'I mean, that was
never my intention.'

I just..

Mm, please,
I don't wanna lose you.

Just don't run away.

Please.

I wish I..

...I wish I could
give you something.

I wish I could...
give you part of myself

but that's just not something I
have in my possession right now.

I'm sorry.

I..

What's up with you?

It's really stupid.

It's been, um..

It's been three months
and I can't stop

thinking about him.
It's like, uh..

I take these walks and, uh..

...I keep showing up
in the same place.

And I'm outside
his building, you know

looking up at the same window.

And all I can think of is

I want to be..

...there with him

like it was.

And, uh, I can't even
cross the street.

I just feel like
such an idiot, you know.

Like the best thing
that ever happened to me

and I blew it off
and I don't know why. I-I..

Why can't you just go
to him? Why can't..

Just call him!

What, what do I say?

"Hi, um, it's me.

"I'm sorry, I'm psychotic,
but, um, gee

can I have the ring back?"

That sounds good.

How could he ever..

...forgive me
after what I put him through?

I wouldn't forgive me for chri..

He might not, but don't you
think that he's worth the risk?

I know your life
has not been a fairy tale

but if anyone deserves
a happy ending, it's you.

I knew you'd say
the right thing.

You're my best friend.
You're supposed to say that.

[doorbell dings]

Delivery.

I didn't even know
if you were going to be here

or maybe out
on one of your walks.

I, uh, sort of
got out of the habit.

[Wendy]
'Hey, Lewis,
have you seen my bag?'

I'm sorry. I'm..

Lisa!

- Hi.
- Hi.

Um, I was just..

Actually, uh,
I have to get going, Lewis.

'Cause you know Sam
is going to be waiting for us

and she's getting fussy,
so I think

we're going to hit it.
Uh, come on in. Come on.

It's really good
to see you again, Lis.

Um, so I'll just talk to you
later. Okay? Bye-bye.

Put a little 7 Up in the water.

It sounds weird,
I know, but it works.

So, um...how's business?

Uh, actually, Randy's been
running the shop lately.

Been working part-time

as an investment consultant
for the city.

Public housing, health care,
that kind of thing.

And, um, and your family?

They're good.

Um..

I guess, I guess
I should be going.

Um..

This is the part
where you're supposed to say

"Wait."

Yeah, see, I'm supposed
to start to leave

and, and that's when..

...you forgive me
for being such a coward.

And for being the last one
to figure out

what everyone else already knew.

Then..

...you call out,
"Wait, don't go"

and I stop.

And we hold each other
and then we know

everything's going to be okay.

I-I guess..

...I'm not familiar
with the procedure.

Yeah. I guess not.

Um..

I guess I'll see you around.

Wait.

Don't go.

[instrumental music]

How was that?

That was good.

Everything's going to be okay.
