- Hi.- Hi.

- Hello.

- Let me tell you,first off, Amy.

Even though I'm alawyer, I hate liars.

- Mr. Perenti, there'sactually something--

- So I apologize.

For lying to you.

I told you Michelle was myfiance' and technically,

we're not engaged.

- I'm not sure I understand.

- My father, Arthur,he's a bit old-fashioned.

Paul hasn't received hisblessing to marry me yet.

- That's where you come in.

- You want me toask him for you?

(laughing)

- No, no, nothing like that.

It's just, he's veryhard to impress.

- Well, if Paul Perentidoesn't impress him,

I'm not sure who could.

- My dad is not impressedby stuff like this.

He's an outdoorsman.

And Paul is--

- Not.

- Wait, Michelle Wetherson,

your father is Arthur Wellerson,

the billionaire?

- Well, he prefersArthur Wellerson,

the philanthropist, yes.

- Arthur and I haven'texactly hit if off.

I think it's becausewe're doing things

that I like.

So I would like to plan,oh, what do you call it.

A retreat?

- A retreat is fine, honey, yes.

- Yes, a weekend,outdoors with hiking

and fishing and get himin a really great mood.

- And if you can make Paullook more comfortable,

all the better.

He's very hard to impress.

- Yeah, you mentioned that.

(laughs)

- Most LA event plannersspend even less time

outdoors than I do.

But we were blown awaywith Zach's party.

And when You mentionedthat you grew up

in the woods.

- We thought thatyou might be perfect.

- Okay, so just formy own, you want me

to plan a retreat tomake Paul look like

an outdoorsman so thatyour father will give him

his blessing to marry you?

- It sounds crazywhen you say it.

But, yeah.

- Well, tell herabout the wedding.

- Right, the wedding.

Now we haven't chosen afirm to plan our wedding.

If you can do this, I don'tsee why we can't hire you.

- So plan theWellerson-Perenti wedding.

- Our wedding, yes.

(laughs)

- That'll be one of thebiggest weddings this season.

- You flatter us,but we do expect

it to be a pretty good party.

- So, can youplease help us out?

- There's somethingI have to tell...

(mobile chimes)

Sorry.

So sorry.

- Everything okay, Amy?

- Yeah, I have to tell you,

I can't wait to get started.

(laughs)

- Fantastic!

- Thank you so much.

You have no idea whatthis means to us.

- Well great.

What have I done?

- You told a white lie,it's not that big a deal.

- I pretended to bemy boss to get work

from a high-powered attorney.

He could sue me for fraud.

- Okay, fine.

A gray lie.

- (sighs) Oh, my God.

- You can't forgetthese, all right?

You need your energy.

Where do you keep your heels?

- Back of the closet.

- Look, don't thinkof it as lying, okay?

Think of it as, saving your boss

a lot of work.

- Well if I pullthis off, Ms. Bennett

will get to plan oneof the biggest weddings

of the year.

- Ah, see, it's win-win.

- And this couldjust be a funny story

we tell at companyChristmas parties.

- That's my girl.

All right, try these.

- It's a hiking lodge, Howard.

I can't wear high heels.

- Honey, see you're thinkinglike Loretta Johnson now.

Okay, you need to startthinking like Amy Bennett.

Hey, what if I came with you?

I could be Amy's assistant.

- I don't think weshould stack anymore lies

to this than we have to.

- Look, I've got a shoot inMemphis this weekend anyway.

Okay, and you know,it's been six months.

Like I've got to see yourhometown at some point.

- There's not much to see.

- Well if it produceda woman like you,

I'm sure it's wonderful.

(gentle guitar music)

- You always did love azaleas.

- Loretta, oh my goodness.

Hi.

Why didn't you tell meyou were coming home?

Are you here forthe Spring Festival?

- Not exactly.

- [Susan] Wow.- Yeah.

- And I have to call you Amy?

- Only in front ofPaul and Arthur.

- Are you sure youcan't just tell them

the truth?

- If I tell the truthnow, they'll call

my boss and I'll get fired.

- Oh wow.

- Think Wayne will go for it?

- I'm not sure he'sgoing to have a choice.

- What do you mean?

- Well, don't tellhim I said this,

but since you'vebeen gone, Suntan's

not doing so well.

- What?

- Well, Wayne, he's greatwith the outdoor stuff,

but you know Wayne.

He's just not organizedenough to keep up

with the events.

Now you two were a great team.

- Do you still helpout over there?

- No, not so much.

I think Wayne'safraid that he can't

afford to pay me.

- I had no idea the innwas in this much trouble.

- OH honey, it's not your fault.

What could you do?

- You're out there living in LA.

(gentle guitar music)

- Hello, Wayne.

- You shouldn't be wearinghigh heels, could stick

in the mud and twist an ankle.

- Good to see you, too.

And you, Abby.

(Abby barks)

Trouble with the engine?

- Nothing I can't handle.

- If you want, I cantake a look at it.

- What are youdoing here, Loretta?

- I have some work for you.

- Feel free to callour booking line.

- You mean your cell phone?

- It's a small operation.

- You never answer when I call.

- Can you blame me?

- Two clients, threedays, deep pockets.

- You have been in LA too long

if you think I careabout deep pockets.

- They already gaveme the deposit.

- What did theygive it to you for?

You don't work here.

- I'm their event planner.

Actually that's complicated.

- Complicated how?

- Well, they think I'm my boss.

- Sot his getup issome sort of disguise?

- Look, all you'd have to do

is call me Amy.

- I'm not interested.

Safe travels, Loretta.

Glad you found yourselfout there on the coast.

- How's the inn doing, Wayne?

- What is that supposed to mean?

- Please, it's three days.

You could use themoney to finally

- Oh, well I'mglad I made extra.

They'll be some hungry boys.

- What did you make?

- Spam sausage.

- Mom, you didn't.

- Well we always usedto serve Spam sausage

on the first night.

- I don't want Paulto look squeamish

in front of Arthur.

- Well, he'll justhave to make due.

(sighs)

- Okay, don't lie, justdon't get specific.

(phone chirps)

- (sighs) Oh boy.

- Hello?

- Hey, Amy.

It's Michelle.

- Hey, Ms. Wellerson.

- Soon to be Mrs.Perenti, I hope.

- Oh sure, Arthur and Paul

are really hitting it off.

- God, that's such a relief.

My father can bevery hard to impress.

(laughs)

- I better hop back inside.

They're about tosit down for dinner.

- Amy, please, Iknow this whole thing

can seem antiquated,but promise me,

you will get Paul myfather's blessing.

- I promise.

- Thank you.

I'll talk to you soon.

- Well it soundslike Amy Bennett

has everything under control.

- [Arthur] Thank you, Susan.

- Sorry, still workhours on the West Coast.

- What?

They work in LA?

- Some of us actuallywork pretty hard, Arthur.

- I know you do, Paul.

Just kiddin' around.

- This sausage smells great.

- Oh, thank you,it's an old recipe.

- While we have a moment,I thought we could

go through the itineraryfor the next couple of days.

(clears throat)

- Well, this looksvery detailed.

- I think what Amywants is for us

to get the most outof our time here.

- What do you say weplay things by ear?

No need to nail things down.

- There's a manafter my own heart.

You know what, I'll look overthis later on, all right?

There's nothing wrongwith having a few ideas.

(mellow music)

You sure I can't helpwith those dishes?

- Please, you're our guest.

- All right, seeyou all tomorrow.

- Goodnight, Arthur.- Goodnight.

- Hey, careful,those are antiques.

Hey, come on.

I called you Amy all night.

I took your clientsout for a great hike.

What do you want?

- You've been trying tohumiliate Mr. Perenti

since he got here.

- I am not tryingto humiliate, Paul.

- Keep your voice down.

If this is how you treat guests,

no wonder the inn isn't--

- No wonder the inn is what?

- Oh, don't worry about it.

You don't worry aboutanything, right?

You just play it by ear.

- Even if Paul getsArthur's blessing,

then what, he spendsthe rest of his life

pretending to besomebody he's not?

Why does that sound familiar?

(sighs)

(melancholy music)

Loretta, I'm sorry.

- My dad told me, you'dnever see more stars

that in a St. Francisville sky.

- Well, that's kinda hard toargue on a night like this.

- How would he know, henever left St. Francisville

his entire life?

But that last Summer Iwas here, I didn't want

to live my whole lifeand think I'd miss

my chance to see the world.

(gentle guitar music)

- Don't stay out here too long.

We've got a big day tomorrow.

(gentle music)

- I love these lateharvest berries.

They're like candy.

Mom, is everything okay?

- You should tell Arthurand Paul the truth.

- I want to, I do.

- Then why don't you?

Your father and Iraised you to be honest.

No matter the consequences.

- I'm going to tell them.

I'm just waiting forthe right moment.

- You don't needthe right moment

to tell the truth.

(solemn piano music)

(sighs)

- Something on your mind?

I mean, I rememberyou being bad,

but I don't rememberyou being this bad.

(laughs)

(Abby barks)

- Ah, throwing armmust still be asleep.

- Yeah, must be.

- You ever think aboutleaving St. Francisville?

- Uh, well I went to theBahamas last December.

- You never told me that.

- What do youthink I do when you

shut down for the Winter?

Do you think I just roastpecans and twiddle my thumbs?

_ I guess I'm crazyfor thinking this town

is all I need.

- Wayne.

Look at where I'm standing.

Home isn't where you go,it's where you come back.

- That's pretty good.

- Read it off a bottle cap.

(groans)

(laughs)

- Good morning, Arthur.

- Good morning.- Good morning.

- What is this?

- La Esperanza,it's from Honduras.

- It's delicious, Arthur.

- Le Esperanza, this stuff'slike 35 bucks a pound.

- We wanted to make sureyou're as comfortable

as possible.

- I appreciate thegesture, but I just like

my coffee a little simpler.

- I think we havesome simpler coffee

lying around somewhere.

- Hey, you guys needto get ready to go.

- Why, where are we going?

- Fort Hudson.

- Yes, part of Spring festival.

They're giving toursof civil war sites.

- Yeah, it was on my itinerary.

- Itinerary, yes, I toldyou I'd look it over.

- More walking.

Will you be joining us, Amy?

- Sure, I'll change intosomething more comfortable

and we can all go--

- Actually, Amy and I havesome errands to ruin in town,.

we'll catch upwith you in a bit.

- Doug's Mellow Brew Mud.

I'll have to give this a try.

(upbeat music)

- What are you doing?

- Well, there areclassic cars this year,

so I think if we go around the--

- You should lookwith your eyes,

not your itinerary.

- Well, I'll be.

- Good morning, Burt.

- Loretta Johnson.

Heard rumors.

- Good ears.

- News travels fastin a small town.

- Wow, your truck looks great.

- Don't she?

Yeah, see what happens whenyou take care of something?

- Remember Loretta's old car?

(laughing)

- Used to cruise aroundin that little red Miata.

- I can't believe youremember my Miata.

- Your mom drives atwo-toned teal blue

Subaru stationwagon, and your dad,

he drove that '68 ChevyNova SS, big block,

396 rock crusherfour-speed two door coupe.

Warm blue.

Yeah.

That's what he drove.

- Got some work coming your way,

fixing up that old barn.

- Finally, you'veonly been talking

about it for like two years.

- Well, I readabout some clients

and they're overpayingfrankly, so.

- Don't sell yourselfshort, Wayne.

Sometimes the good guys win.

Ya'll have a fun day, andyou come back and see me.

- I will do.

So good to see you.

- See you, bud.

Have fun.

All righty.

- Gosh, I haven'tseen Burt in so long.

- [Wayne] Oh, wow,what a spread.

- You're so sweet.

And Loretta, I haven'tseen you in ages.

- Smell these pecans.

I have got to get a jar.

- Of course.

- How much do I owe you?

- After what you did forus, they're on the house.

- Thank you.

- Hey, Wayne, have forgotto show you somethin'.

- Sure thing, Burt.

I will be right back.

- I wish you'd letus pay for those.

- Oh, no way.

When my husband broke his ankle,

Wayne stepped in andhelped out with our harvest

free of charge.

We would have beensunk without him.

- Sorry, Burt was justshowing me pictures

of his new plane.

- Bur has a plane?

- Yeah, yeah, this littlecrop duster he fixed up.

He's volunteering at hospitals,

back and forthbetween Baton Rouge

and Dallas andthat sort of thing.

- Wow, Captain Burt.

- [Wayne] I know, right?

Well, we have botheredMrs. Wilson long enough,

let's get moving.

- Stop, don'tforget your pecans.

- How could I?

(laughing)

Thank you, Miss Wilson.

- You're welcome, bye-bye.

Enjoy the festival.

- That was verysweet of you to help

Mrs. Wilson like you did.

- This is St. Francisville,we help our neighbors.

- Thank you, Wayne.

- Thank you.

We can catch up with Paul and--

- Wait.

Hey, could I grab one of these?

- Wild violets.

- Took me a couple years,but I finally found you some.

- Okay, what is this?

- This is the Spring festival.

- No, this, I feellike you're playing

me this St.Francisville mixtape.

- After what you saidabout your father

never leaving town, I just,

I wanted to remind youthat St. Francisville

isn't the worst placeto spend your life.

- That's very sweet.

(mellow music)

- [Wayne] Five bucks.

(gentle music)

- Everything okay, Mr. Perenti?

- Yeah, yeah, Ijust got, I don't.

- Here.

Any progress withArthur on the wall?

- Not an inch.

- [Loretta] I don't meanto add more pressure--

- [Paul] I know.

Michelle would marryme with or without

Arthur's blessing,I just don't want

to put her in that position.

- There's still time.

- Hey, there'sgetting it up there.

- Yeah, a littlebetter, it's kind of

all in the rod tippin.

So, what do you think of Paul?

- I think he's anice enough guy.

- Yeah, he is.

Just not the kindof guy I picture

marrying my daughter, I guess.

- Need any help with that?

- I got it.

- It sure is a pretty day, huh?

- Yeah it sure is.

- Get any bites?

- Yeah, yeah.

- A lot of fun, fishing.

- Yeah.

It is.

- At least he's trying.

- Yeah, maybethat's the problem,

he's trying too hard.

Just tell him to be himself,

he'll get a lotfurther that way.

(calm music)

You know, I am outhere everyday and still

I forget how pretty it can be.

It's like I'm seeingit for the first time.

- A little knotted up.

- Eh, it came from Paul's reel.

It's not that bad, you thinkyou can give me a hand?

You know, the secretto untangling a knot?

- A knife?

- Sure.

You can always giveup and cut it loose

or your find wherethe line starts,

if you find wherethe line starts,

you can follow it allthe way to the end.

- I found the ringin your toolbox.

- Lori...

- You were gonna propose.

- Maybe it's a goodthing I didn't.

- What do you mean?

- Well, you had a bigopportunity in LA,

you would have had to choose,

that wouldn't havebeen fair to you.

- But you didn'tknow I was leaving,

why didn't you propose sooner?

- We had a good thing going

and it never really feltlike the right moment.

- What if there's no such thing

as the right moment?

What if that's justan excuse we use

to put off doing hard things.

I need to tell Pauland Arthur the truth.

- Are you sure?

- It's gonna comeout sooner or later,

it might as well be sooner.

- Well, that takes guts.

(phone ringing)

- Hello.

- [Amy] Hi, who is this?

- Well, who's this?

- [Amy] This is Amy Bennett,I was looking for Loretta.

- Looking for this?

- Oh yeah, thanks.

Everything okay?

- I'm a little sore.

Came in looking for some ice,

and then you got a phone call.

- Okay.

- From Amy Bennett.

- Don't worry, Icovered for you.

- Mr. Perenti, I am so sorry.

- If this weekendhasn't been embarrassing

enough for me--

- I was gonna tell you.

- Why did you lie to me?

- I was mad at myboss for passing

me up for a promotion.

I thought if I didthis on my own,

she could see that I could be

more than just an assistant.

- You're an assistant,oh that's just perfect.

- I'll talk toArthur in the morning

and accept full responsibility.

- No, that'll makeme look even worse.

- What do you want me to do?

- I guess just keepup the Amy Bennett

act for the rest of the weekend,

and then when we get back to LA,

we'll have a muchlonger conversation.

- [Loretta] I need youto keep calling me Amy.

- What happened totelling the truth?

- Paul found out last night.

He's afraid it'llmake him look bad.

- So Arthur is the onlyone that doesn't know?

- Yeah.

- You better hopehe doesn't find out,

I don't think he'd like being

the only one not in on a secret.

- We are going tosplit up into groups

of two, so we cancover more woods.

Arthur, you andSusan stick together,

Paul, you're with Amy.

- Maybe Arthur andPaul could go together,

I want one person in eachgroup that knows the woods

so nobody gets lost.

I gave each one ofyou one of Abby's

old dog trackers.

If you see the woodpecker,

we don't want tospook him, so hit

the button on the side.

It'll come up on my phone

and we will come find you.

You can hook it on yourbelt, and let's do it.

- After you. Mrs. Johnson.

- I'm sorry, Mr. Perenti.

I know this weekendhasn't exactly gone

according to plan.

- No it hasn't,Amy, er, Loretta.

But I tell youwhat, I would spend

a thousand weekendslike this for Michelle.

- She's lucky to have you.

- You never felt that wayabout anyone or anything?

- I'm not sure.

- Well, you did lie tofurther your career,

so you must wantthat pretty badly.

(mellow music)

- Hey, somethingthe matter, ma'am?

- Are you always soset in your ways?

- I'm not so set in my ways.

- Oh, I don't know about that.

I think it's goodto change the way

we think from time to time.

At least the way wethink about people.

- Oh, you mean Paul.

- I think you shouldgive him a chance.

- I just want what'sbest for my daughter.

- [Mrs. Johnson] And howwould you know what's best

for your daughter?

We do the best we can,but at some point,

they become their own person.

So, if Paul makesyour daughter happy,

maybe that's what'sbest for her.

(mellow music)

- Aw, shoot.

- Oh, don't worry, ithappens all the time.

- Will you pleasestop doing that?

- What?

- Telling me everything's okay.

- I mess up, I mess up.

- Sorry.

- Wait, wait, wait.

(pecking on wood)

You hear that?

Pileated Woodpecker.

(bird chirping)

(laughing)

Got him.

- You're a wisewoman, Mrs. Johnson.

- Maybe wisdom comes with age.

- Well, we both oughtto be pretty wise then.

(laughing)

- Any luck?

- Nah, no woodpeckers.

You know, a day spent inthe woods is never a waste.

- I'm sorry, Arthur, Ithought it would be a fun one.

- Where's Amy and Paul.

- We haven't seen them.

- Well, maybe Ishould, wait one sec.

- And there was Paul's tracker.

- He probably fell downand pushed the button.

- Or maybe he found a bird.

- All right, come on.

- You're absolutely sure?

- I'm sure.

- A lot of different birdssound the same, you know?

- Loretta, I know youthink I'm helpless,

in your defense,I've given you plenty

of reason, but inthis case, I'm sure.

Okay?

- Okay.

(upbeat music)

(pecking on wood)

(upbeat music)

- Hey, you find anything?

- Paul thought heheard a Pileated--

- I know what I heard,it's around here somewhere.

- It can be tough, theway the bird calls bounce

around the trees.

- There it is, there it is.

See?

(bird chirping)

- Well, I'll be.

- Look at that little cutie.

- How did you know?

- I know what I heard.

I looked up the callonline this morning.

Sounds almost like a monkey.

- Good boy, Paul.

Aw, you should seeTanzania, Paul.

Impalas as far as the eyecan see, herds of them.

- Really?

- I mean, you've seen Impalas.

- Only in pictures.

- Well, picturesdon't do them justice.

- I don't know whatyou told Arthur, mom,

but it did the trick.

- You have to tellArthur the truth

about who you are.

- Mom, please, Arthur and Paul

are finally getting along.

- She's got apoint, Miss Johnson.

- Oh, what, now you too?

All right, I'm gonnago start dinner.

See you two inside.

- She's right,this whole thing's

gotten out of hand.

- Paul already knows the truth,

and Arthur, maybe I'd wait until

they sign the marriage license.

- God, this weekend, I don't if

I'd been able todo it without you.

- Careful, we're notout of the woods yet.

- [Loretta] Are youexpecting more guests?

- No.

- Howard?

Howard.

- Well, hello, darling.

- I tried to call,believe me, but,

you know, servicelooks a little,

a little spotty down here.

Hey man, Howard Hodgkiss.

- Wayne Hendricks.

- I thought you werefilming in Memphis.

- Yeah, yeah, I had the evening,

so, you know, road trip.

I missed you, Amy.

- Wayne knows who I am, youdon't have to call me Amy.

- Okay, got it.

Our little secret, huh?

- Wait a minute, are--

- Loretta's boyfriend, yeah.

I just hope she doesn'ttalk about me too much.

- Things are delicate right now.

- Delicate how?

- Mr. Perenti and Mr. Wellersonare finally getting along.

- Well, what do youthink I'm gonna do?

- I just don't want a scene.

- Honey, why wouldI make a scene?

Though I was thinkingon the ride down here,

would Amy Bennett reallybe dating an actor?

- Absolutely.

- Just hear me out.

Or would she bewith Pierce Barnham,

gallery owner andart aficionado?

When Ms. Bennett firststrode into my art gallery,

it was like amasterpiece come to life.

What was it you came in forthat first night, my love?

Was it a, oh, a Monet print

for your charity auction, yes?

- You remember better than I do.

- And just like that,we fell in love.

- Where is your gallery, Pierce.

- Oh, small neighborhood.

If you aren't fromLos Angeles, you--

- Like Silverlake,Venice, Beverly Hills?

- Mrs. Johnson, could youshow Pierce to his room?

- Umm, absolutely.

- Pardon me.

- Right this way.

- Take your time,as much as you need.

- He's quite a character.

- Character is right.

- So, you're dating Loretta.

- Who?

- Oh, it's okay, I'mLoretta's mother.

- Oh, oh, hi, wow, it's sonice to finally meet you.

- Finally?

How long have youtwo been dating?

- Uhh, well, Aprilmakes about six months.

- Six months.

Wow, that sounds serious.

- Yeah, we're takingit pretty slow.

- I would say veryslow, she hasn't

even mentioned youmuch less brought

you home to visit.

- Well, I've beenwanting to come,

but you know Loretta, I mean,

she just works so hard.

- Uh-huh, yes she does.

Enjoy your stay.

- Okay.

- Wayne.

Wayne, talk to me.

- What's there to talk about?

Pierce seems like a great guy.

- I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

- I don't care.

You might want to tell him

to tone down the act though.

- So Harold's an actor, hecan be a little dramatic.

- [Wayne] He's an actor?

Pierce Barnhamreally had me fooled.

- You know, you'rekind of being a jerk,

you never even askedif I was single.

- Kind of how Arthur never asked

if you're really Amy Bennett?

- That's not the samething and you know it.

- You're right, I'm sorry.

You've got your life in LA,

I've got my lifehere, I get that now.

(sorrowful music)

- Hey.

- hey.

You didn't thinkthat Pierce Barnham

might have been alittle bit much?

- My boyfriend, I didn'task him to do that.

- Loretta.

If a story starts with a lie,

does it matter if ithas a happy ending?

- I don't know, Mr. Perenti.

- Neither do I.

I don't know if Arthur'sever gonna think

I'm good enoughfor his daughter.

This weekend has been hard,

but the hardest part by far

has been beingaway from Michelle.

- Ask him for hisblessing tonight.

- What if he says no?

- Then he says no, butyou can waste your whole

life waiting forthe right moment.

You have to ask him.

- You a picker?

- Oh, yeah, I might havehad a band back in college.

- FIre's goin' you shouldcome out and play something.

- Oh, I couldn't do that.

- Arthur, I could sure usea love song right about now.

- I might have one.

(chuckling)

Well, I might be a littlerusty, so hang with me.

(laughing)

- (clears throat) Arthur.

- Yeah, Paul?

- There's somethingthat I've been--

- I'm sorry to interrupt.

I just, I simply can'thold it in any longer.

- I was going to do this back

in Los Angeles,but, after hearing

Arthur's song, I just, I can't,

I can't wait another minute.

Amy Antoinette Bennett,

will you marry me?

(forlorn music)

- Is this for real?

- [Paul] Congratulations.

- [Arthur] Yeah, I guesslove is in the air, huh?

- Was that real?

- What do you mean?

- Well, was thatPierce proposing to Amy

or was that Howardproposing to Loretta?

- Uh, you know, I gotlost in the character.

- [Both] I can't marry you.

- Oh, I'm so glad you said that.

I've been hiding away,not just from you,

but from myself too.

I'm so sorry.

- Yeah, it's been six months.

Never thought to bring me here.

This is your home.

I guess you never sawme being a part of that.

You know, I think I got lost

in Pierce and Amy because

inside, I kind of knewthat Howard and Loretta--

- Aren't meant to be.

- It's all right.

(chuckling)

All right, I'm gonna head out.

Sorry Pierce is leavingyou with a bit of a mess.

- Don't worry aboutit, I could do

with a plot twist anyway.

- We'll always have brunch.

- We'll always have brunch.

(laughing)

Pierce had to headback to Memphis,

he's sorry he couldn'tstay for dinner.

- Oh, well, that's too bad.

Hey, Paul, before Piercestole the show out there,

it seemed likethere was something

you were trying to say.

- There was.

I mean, there is.

- Well, go ahead.

(clearing throat)

- Excuse me, beforeI bring out supper,

I would like to propose a toast.

First, to Arthur and to Paul.

We sincerely hope that youhad a really good time.

- It could not have beenany better, Susan, really.

- And to Ms. Bennett,I know your own mother

could not be herefor your engagement,

so I would like tocongratulate you on her behalf.

Now, I can only saywhat I would say

to my own daughter, which is,

you are my wholeworld, and I wish you

the happiest life thatyou can ever imagine.

- Sorry, I can't do this.

I should have donethis a long time ago.

My name is not Amy bennett.

It's Loretta Johnson.

I grew up in St.Francisville, Louisiana,

and this is my mother.

- Come on, what areyou talking about?

- I pretended to be my boss

so Mr. Perenti would hireme to plan this trip.

- I don't understand.

You know about this, Paul?

- Not at first.

- So you did know about this?

- Arthur, I eventuallyfigured it out.

Please, I would doanything for your daughter,

and I didn't want todisrupt this weekend.

- Well, so you wereall in on this.

Well, you must thinkI'm a pretty joke, huh?

Hope you had a good laugh.

- Arthur.

It's not like that.

- I'm really not in themood for I told you so's.

- Actually, I'm impressed.

- [Loretta] Impressed?

This is a disaster.

- Yeah, it's adisaster, but before

it turned into adisaster, you showed

those guys a great weekend.

- God, I don't know what to do.

- You know wherethose answers aren't?

In that binder.

The plan's kaput,and that leaves

you with one option,to improvise.

- I'm not like you, Idon't just improvise,

I plan things out.

- Loretta, listen tome, you are the smartest

person that I know.

If anybody can figurethis out, it's you.

- Hey, Wayne.

What's Burt's phone number?

Good morning.

Loretta Johnson.

- I think we've met.

- You met Amy Bennett,now you're meeting me.

- Well, nice tomeet you, Loretta.

- There's someone here who wants

to talk to you.

- I don't want to talk to Paul.

- It's not Paul.

- Sweetheart.

- Hi, dad.

- Well, how?

- Fresh off a red eye.

- There's a red eye from LosAngeles to St. Francisville?

- [Loretta] LA to Dallas.

My friend, Burt, picked her up

in his plane soshe could see you

before you left for Tanzania.

- He flew an airplane inthe middle of the night

from Dallas, Texas?

- He's from St. Francisville,

neighbors help each other.

- I'm exhausted, soif you could hear

what I have to say,that would be great.

- All ears.

- I am going to marry Paul,

and I'm not asking you,I'm letting you know.

I love him, dad,and he loves me.

He came with you this weekend,

and he hates the outdoors.

If you can't see whata great guy he is,

then I'm sorry, we're gonna have

to get marriedwithout your blessing.

- Come on out, Paul.

You gonna make mydaughter happy?

- Yes, sir.

And I've never meantanything more my entire life.

- Well, I knowyou don't need it,

but you have my blessing.

- Thank you, dad.

(phone ringing)

- Hello.

- Good morning, Ms. Bennett.

- Loretta, I hopeyou're well rested,

we have a lot of work to do.

- Actually, there'ssomething I have to tell you.

I pretended to be youso that Mr. Perenti--

- Things are a whole lotsimpler when you're a dog, huh?

- But he has given us thePerenti-Wellerson wedding.

So, that's what happened.

If you want to fireme, I understand.

- Wow.

- Yeah.

- You put at risk theintegrity of my company,

everything that I've worked for.

- I know, I'm sorry.

- Younger me would havedone the same thing.

- So, you're not firing me?

- I do admit thatthe Perenti-Wellerson

wedding does soften the blow.

I was sweet on thislittle girl, Lucille.

from church one day andshe pointed out a bird.

Now, we didn't havea clue what it was,

but we just knew it lookedlike Woody Woodpecker.

And that's not the best part.

While I was looking at the bird,

Lucille gave me a kiss,right on the cheek.

- Arthur, you dog.

- Yeah, must havebeen quite a kiss.

Lucille ended upbecoming my wife.

Wayne, I've traveledthe world over.

You know, I never forgotthat Pileated Woodpecker,

Lucille, or my hometown.

You better go get her, kid.

She's something special.

midnight oil to plan Pauland Michelle's wedding

and keep up withthe other events.

So, what do you thinkabout this with this.

Because that woulddrive me insane.

And your mom toldme about Pierce.

- Guess things didn't work out.

- But you flewacross the country

to talk to me about my breakup?

- No, no, I flewacross the country

to tell you that I amcrazy about you, Loretta.

All that wide open space,it feels empty without you.

Now, maybe I'm toolate, maybe I missed

my moment, but I just wantedto tell you how I feel.

And now I have, so...

- I quit my job.

- You love your job.

- I know, but it waseverything I thought I wanted.

- So, what's the plan?

- I don't have a plan.

All I know is...

I want to be with you.

I want to come home.
