Grace: IT'S FUNNY -- NO MATTER HOW MANY YEARS GO BY,

I REMEMBER HIGH SCHOOL LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY.

THOSE YEARS WERE ACTUALLY...

Michael: ...SOME OF THE BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE.

[ LAUGHING ]

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT WAS WAY BACK...

...WHEN A MOVIE TICKET WAS $2.

AND A FEW QUARTERS WAS ALL IT TOOK

TO GET A GALLON OF GAS.

I WOULD'VE PAID ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY

TO SEE HER ALL DRESSED UP LIKE MADONNA,

WITH HER JELLY BRACELETS.

OH, HE WAS SO CUTE.

I REMEMBER HE WORE HIS FAVORITE JEAN JACKET

AND HIS NEW AIR JORDANS ON OUR VERY FIRST DATE.

I WAS SO IN LOVE.

BUT THAT WAS THEN. IT WAS HIGH SCHOOL.

EVERYONE SAYS YOUNG LOVE

DOESN'T STAND A CHANCE WHEN YOU GROW UP.

I'VE OFTEN WONDERED OVER THE YEARS

WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED...

...IF WE DIDN'T BREAK UP BEFORE COLLEGE.

SOMETIMES I WONDER...

...IF THERE WAS A MOMENT IN TIME

WHERE PAST AND PRESENT COLLIDE.

OH, PLEASE, MOM, LEAVE THAT BOX ALONE.

WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU THROW AWAY YOUR YEARBOOK?

MOM, I JUST PACKED THAT BOX.

I KNOW. AND LOOK! HA!

NOW IT'S ALL UNPACKED.

WHY WOULD YOU GET RID OF ALL THESE MEMORIES?

ALL OF THIS STUFF IS FROM A LIFE LONG AGO.

AND BESIDES, THERE'S NO POINT IN HOLDING ON TO THE PAST.

I BELIEVE YOUARE THE ONE WHO TAUGHT ME THAT.

WELL, I NEVER MEANT FOR YOU TO GET RID OF ALL THE THINGS

THAT MADE YOU INTO THE WOMAN YOU ARE TODAY.

BEING A CHEERLEADER MADE ME THE WOMAN I AM TODAY?

YOU WERE CAPTAIN OF THE SQUAD.

YOU GAVE DIRECTION AND -- AND ORDERS

A-AND KICKED A FEW GIRLS OFF THE SQUAD.

AND NOW, TODAY, YOU'RE A PARTNER

IN A VERY, VERY PROFITABLE, SUCCESSFUL INTERIOR-DESIGN FIRM.

GOOD MORNING, MICHAEL.

HEY. GOOD MORNING.

WHAT HAPPENED IN HERE?

WELL, I COULD SAY THAT A RANDOM WINDSTORM

CAME BARRELING THROUGH HERE

AND DESTROYED WHAT WAS OTHERWISE A VERY ORGANIZED ROOM.

OR, YOU KNOW, I COULD JUST TELL YOU THE TRUTH.

I BOXED UP OUR FILES FROM THE LAST PROJECT,

SINCE WE HAVE TO LEAVE TOMORROW.

WAS THERE A MEMO SOMEWHERE?

I KNEW WE WERE HEADED WEST,

BUT WE WEREN'T SCHEDULED TO DO SO FOR ANOTHER MONTH.

YEAH.

YOU KNOW THE REP WHO WAS SUPPOSEDTO GO TO THE HOTEL

THAT WE'REGOING TO?

HIS WIFE IS HAVING A BABY. OH.

YEAH. APPARENTLY, THAT'S A LITTLE MORE IMPORTANT

THAN OPENING THE HOTEL.

I DON'T GET IT -- PRIORITIES. I JUST -- I DON'T GET IT.

WHAT'S THIS?

UH, THAT IS A LITTLE JOKE FROM MY SISTER

THAT I WILL BE TAKING BACK WITH ME AS AN EVEN BIGGER JOKE.

WAIT A MINUTE.YOU'RE TAKING IT B

THAT'S WHAT I SAID.

SO, THE NEXT CITY WE'RE WORKING IN

JUST SO HAPPENS TO BE YOUR HOMETOWN?

YOU GOT IT.

WHICH BOX GOES NEXT?

THAT ONE.

THAT'S MICHAEL.

THAT'S GRACE'S FIRST HIGH-SCHOOL BOYFRIEND,

AND I'M SURE YOU'LL GET TO MEET HIM AT THE REUNION.

YES, PHILLIP, I'M SURE YOU WOULD GET TO MEET HIM AT THE REUNION

IF WE WERE GOING, WHICH WE'RE NOT.

YOU'VE GOT TO GO. IT'S YOUR REUNION.

YOU KNOW, SHE'S RIGHT, HONEY.

JUST BECAUSE I'M GONNA BE OUT OF TOWN

DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULDN'T GO.

WHAT ARE YOU, A TAG TEAM? COME ON!

BESIDES, I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND REUNIONS.

WHY DO I WANT TO TALK TO PEOPLE THAT I KNEW WHEN I WAS A KID?

WHAT DO YOU SAY TO SOMEBODY

THAT YOU THOUGHT YOU COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT,

WHO YOU OBVIOUSLY DID 20 YEARS LATER?

IS THIS ABOUT MICHAEL FOSTER?

NO. WHY WOULD THIS BE ABOUT MICHAEL?

BECAUSE HE'S THE ONLY ONE YOU COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT.

THAT IS BECAUSE I'M USING HIM AS AN EXAMPLE, MOM.

BESIDES, THE HYFORD HOTEL REP IS IN TOWN,

AND I AM SO FAR BEHIND ON THAT JOB.

I DON'T HAVE TIME TO TAKE THE ENTIRE NIGHT OFF

FOR A SILLY REUNION.

CASE CLOSED. I DON'T THINK IT'S SILLY.

IS THERE A REUNION COMING UP?

I DON'T KNOW. I HAVEN'T KEPT IN TOUCH WITH ANYBODY.

THE ONLY PEOPLE I TALK TO ARE MY SISTER AND HER HUSBAND.

YOU WANT ME TO CALL SOME PEOPLE? NO. YEAH -- NO.

YOU KNOW WHAT? I KNOW HOW YOU THINK.

AND I DO NOT WANT YOU TO START MAKING PHONE CALLS

AND SETTING UP DINNERS.

HOLD ON.

WAS THERE WAS SOMEONE SPECIAL IN HIGH SCHOOL?

AS HARD AS THIS MAY BE FOR YOU TO BELIEVE,

YES, THERE WAS SOMEONE SPECIAL IN HIGH SCHOOL,

BUT...IT WAS HIGH SCHOOL.

OKAY.

James: HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE BACK?

FINE.

"FINE"? YEAH.

THAT'S THE BEST YOU CAN DO?

YEAH!

IT'S ASTONISHING...

THAT WOMEN AREN'T KNOCKING DOWN YOUR DOOR.

YOU'RE SO OPEN, SO FORTHCOMING.

HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT?

REMIND ME TO FIRE YOU WHEN WE FINISH THIS JOB, ALL RIGHT?

OKAY.

[ SIGHS ]

GOOD MORNING, BOSS.

ISN'T IT A WONDERFUL DAY?

DOUGHNUTS. THAT BAD, HUH?

HOW BAD DEPENDS ON HOW YOU LOOK AT IT.

SAY, FOR INSTANCE, ALL THE MATERIAL

TO REUPHOLSTER THE HOTEL FURNITURE

WAS STICK ON A BROKEN-DOWN TRUCK

IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.

GOOD MORNING, RACHEL. HI.

THIS WOULD BE THE SAME MATERIAL YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO SHOW

THE HYFORD HOTEL REP ON YOUR SCHEDULED WALK-THROUGH.

YOU MEAN THE SAME MATERIAL THAT DOESN'T EXIST ANYWHERE ELSE

BECAUSE WE BOUGHT EVERYTHING THAT THEY HAVE IN STOCK?

YEAH, THAT TOO.

UH, AND THE NICE HOTEL REP,

THE ONE THAT YOU SAID, YOU KNOW, YOU REALLY CLICKED WITH --

WELL, UH, HE HAD AN EMERGENCY,

AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE HIM WITH SOMEONE ELSE,

SOMEONE WHO SORT OF WANTS THE REMODEL DONE

IN TWO WEEKS LESS THAN YOU HAD SCHEDULED.

WOULD YOU CONSIDER THAT... BAD?

OKAY.

FIRST THINGS FIRST.

LET'S FIND OUT WHO THIS NEW REP'S ASSISTANT IS.

MAKE NICE WITH HIM.

SEE IF WE CAN PUSH THE MEETING BACK AS FAR AS POSSIBLE.

I AM GONNA START GETTING ON THE PHONE

AND SEE IF I CAN FIND A TRUCKING COMPANY

WHO WILL SEND A TRUCK OUT TO...

TO THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. RIGHT. TO THERE.

OH, AND IS NOW A BAD TIME

TO TALK ABOUT THE HIGH-SCHOOL REUNION?

RIGHT, GOT IT -- ANOTHER TIME.

[ SIGHS ]

[ GRUNTS ]

OKAY, SO YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO FIRST, RIGHT?

GO TO THE DESIGN FIRM AND SOLIDIFY THE SCHEDULE.

IF YOU HAVE ANYQUESTIONS WHATSOEVER,

WOULD YOU PLEASE CALL ME?

YES. YOU ALL SET AT THE HOTEL?

YEAH, I GOT IT.

GOOD. FOR YOU. GIMME.

ONE SCRATCH ON THIS THING,

AND I WILL FIRE YOU SO FAST, YOUR HEAD WILL SPIN.

IF YOU NEED ME, I'LL BE HERE AT MY SISTER'S.

HAVE A GOOD TIME. I WILL TRY.

Rachel: OH, HOW WAS YOUR FLIGHT?

OH, YOU KNOW, THE USUAL --

NO LEG ROOM, LOUSY FOOD, BAD MOVIE -- REALLYBAD.

OH, I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU -- BOTH OF YOU.

HEY, I'M UNCLE MICHAEL, AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU.

I CAN'T. [ SMOOCHES ]

COME IN! SIT DOWN!

OH, IT IS SO GOOD TO HAVE YOU HOME.

IT IS GREAT TO BE HERE, I MUST SAY.

NOW THAT MICHAEL'S HERE, CAN I SIT ON THE COUCH

WITHOUT BEING YELLED AT FOR DEFLUFFING THE PILLOWS?

OOH.

SHE'S GOT YOU TRAINED WELL, MY FRIEND.

OH, YEAH. I CAN SEE.

YOU TWO ARE GANGING UP ON ME ALREADY.

FIVE MINUTES IN THE HOUSE.

NOT EVEN. YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING YET.

I --

[ SIGHS ]

SO, YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE

ANOTHER TRUCK AVAILABLE FOR THREE WEEKS?

THAT KIND OF DEFEATS THE PURPOSE

OF CALLING YOURSELF A TRUCKINCOMPANY, DOESN'T IT?

[ SIGHS ] NO.

NO!

THANK YOU.

OKAY. UM, YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'M GONNA GO TO THE HOTEL

AND SEE WHAT I CAN DO BEFORE THE WALK-THROUGH.

WHAT DID YOU FIND OUT?

THE ASSISTANT IS ON HIS WAY OVER NOW

TO GO OVER THE NEW REP'S REVISED SCHEDULE.

UM... DON'T WORRY. YOU GO. I GOT IT UNDER CONTROL.

REALLY? YEAH.

YEAH? OKAY. THANKS.

BYE. BYE.

UH, GRACE? ONE SEC!

GRACE!

THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT.

OH! I'M SO SORRY!

NO, IT'S OKAY. I DIDN'T SEE YOU.

IT'S MY FAULT.

I WAS JUST TRYING TO CATCH MY BOSS.

YEAH, I IMAGINE.

WAIT A MINUTE.

YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO BE LINDSAY?

GRACE HOLLAND'S ASSISTANT? YEAH.

I'M JAMES -- JAMES, FROM THE HYFORD HOTEL.

WE'VE BEEN TALKING. RIGHT!

I'M LINDSAY!

WHICH YOU ALREADY KNOW,

AND, UM, GOOD TO KNOW IKNOW.

HERE. THANK YOU.

[ CHUCKLES ]

YOU CERTAINLY KNOW HOW TO MAKE A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION.

I USUALLY DO.

I PROBABLY OWE YOU A COFFEE,

AT LEAST FOR THE MESS I CAUSED.

NO, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

YOU'RE RIGHT.

YOU, UM -- YOU SHOULD BUY ME A COFFEE

TO MAKE UP FOR THE MESS YOU CREATED.

AFTER YOU.

Rachel: SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE PLACE?

JUST LIKE YOU REMEMBER FROM WHEN WE WERE KIDS?

PRETTY MUCH, YEAH.

YEAH, YOU KNOW, AND, THANKFULLY,

EVERYTHING COMES BACK INTO STYLE.

I DON'T KNOW WHEN, BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'LL COME BACK.

I THINK THAT YOU'RE A LITTLE JEALOUS

THAT MOM AND DAD GAVE METHE HOUSE

WHEN THEY MOVED TO FLORIDA.

GOSH, IT MUST HURT THAT THEY LOVE ME MORE THAN YOU.

OOH. LOOK, WE GOT YOUR OLD ROOM READY FOR YOU.

MADONNA POSTER'S STILL ON THE WALL.

OH, THAT'S RIGHT! YOU LOVEDMADONNA!

YOUR BOOM BOX AND CASSETTES ARE IN THE LAUNDRY ROOM.

I DID NOT LOVE MADONNA.

YOU LOVED MADONNA. I DID NOT.

I MEAN, NOT LIKE YOU LOVED GRACE ANDERSON, BUT --

WELL...

I BET SHE'S GONNA BE AT THE REUNION.

IT'S SO GREAT THAT YOU'RE GONNA BE HERE FOR THAT, ISN'T IT?

YEAH, IT'S -- IT'S GREAT.

BUT...I PROBABLY WON'T GO.

COME ON. I GOT A LOT OF WORK TO DO.

Lindsay: HEY! GOOD NEWS!

I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH THE TRUCKING COMPANY,

AND THEY SAID THE MATERIALS

SHOULD BE AT THE HOTEL BY TOMORROW,

JUST IN TIME FOR YOUR WALK-THROUGH WITH THE HOTEL REP.

THANK YOU, GOD.

THERE ISA LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL.

THESE CONTRACTS NEED TO BE LOOKED AT

BEFORE YOU LEAVE TONIGHT.

AND DON'T FORGET ABOUT YOUR NAIL APPOINTMENT LATER.

NAIL APPOINTMENT?

BEFORE YOU GO TO YOUR HIGH-SCHOOL REUNION?

THAT'S TONIGHT? ARE YOU SURE? YEP.

AND I PROMISED YOUR MOM I WOULDN'T LET YOU BACK OUT OF IT.

RIGHT.

AND, UM, DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE HYFORD HOTEL REP.

I GOT IT COVERED.

I KIND OF, UM...

BUMPED INTO THE NEW REP'S ASSISTANT,

AND HE SORT OF ASKED ME OUT TO DINNER TONIGHT.

I WAS THINKING I'D GO.

I MEAN, BUT JUST TO REASSURE HIM

THAT EVERYTHING, YOU KNOW, IS ON SCHEDULE.

YOU KNOW, ASSISTANT TO ASSISTANT.

RIGHT, AND WOULD THIS NEW REP'S ASSISTANT

MAYBE BE ON THE CUTE SIDE?

ONE COULD MAYBE MAKE THAT ASSUMPTION...

HYPOTHETICALLY.

RIGHT.

OH, AND I CONFIRMED YOUR MEETING WITH THE REP FOR THE WEEKEND.

THAT IS PERFECT, LINDSAY. THANK YOU.

NOW, GO HAVE DINNER WITH THE ENEMY.

JUST KIDDING.

OKAY. YOU HAVE FUN AT YOUR REUNION.

AH, YES. FUN.

NOT EXACTLY THE FIRST WORD I WOULD USE TO DESCRIBE THAT. [ SIGHS ]

I'M HOME.

HEY.

TA-DA.

I HAD YOUR SUIT PRESSED FOR TONIGHT.

YOU HAD MY SUIT PRESSED FOR TONIGHT?

MICHAEL, YOUR HIGH-SCHOOL REUNION

IS SOMETHING YOU CANNOTMISS.

BESIDES, YOU HAVE GOTTO START GETTING OUT THERE

AND HAVING SOME FUN.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU'RE RIGHT.

YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

OH, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? THERE'S JUST ONE SMALL THING.

I, UH, I DIDN'T GET A TICKET.

SO MAYBE NEXT REUNION.

IT'LL BE NICE TO SEE ALL THOSE PEOPLE

I HAVEN'T SEEN IN YEARS.

WELL, DON'T WORRY, BIG BROTHER, 'CAUSE I BOUGHT YOU ONE.

[ DOORBELL RINGS ]

HEY, PHILLIP.

HEY.

SO...HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?

GOOD.

GOOD.

OH, MOM'S OUT BACK IN THE GARDEN.

HEY, BEAUTIFUL.

AW. THANK YOU FOR THE COMPLIMENT.

AND THE FLOWERS.

IT WAS THE LEAST I COULD DO

SINCE I WON'T BE GOING WITH YOU TO YOUR REUNION TONIGHT.

OH, TRUST ME,

I WISH I HAD TO GO OUT OF TOWN

SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO GO TO THIS THING TONIGHT.

WELL, I JUST WANTED TO STOP AND SAY BYE.

I REALLY HAVE TO GET TO THE AIRPORT.

BUT YOU GO AND HAVE FUN, OKAY? HEY, DO ME A FAVOR.

WILL YOU CALL ME WHEN YOUR FLIGHT LANDS? WILL DO.

[ UP-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYING ]

[ INDISTINCT SINGING ]

[ SIGHS ]

ALL RIGHT, MICHAEL, 30 MINUTES --

HOME, SWEATS, AND A MOVIE.

OKAY.

[ SIGHS ]

30 MINUTES,

AND THEN IT'S HOME, PAJAMAS, AND POPCORN.

♪ IT'S COLD OUTSIDE

♪ BUT IT'S NOT TOO LATE

[ INDISTINCT SINGING ]

THIS IS SO WONDERFUL, CATCHING UP WITH YOU.

HOW EXCITING IS THIS?

YOU LOOK GREAT, BY THE WAY.

THANK YOU. YOU TOO.

HEY, WE SHOULD HAVE LUNCH NEXT WEEK.

HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT? SERIOUSLY?

WE SHOULD GET A PICKUP GAME GOING, MAN.

NO, NO, NO, NO. WHAT DO YOU SAY? OLD TIMES, MAN.

NO, I HAVEN'T PLAYED IN YEARS, MAN.

AW, COME ON. MAYBE.

OH, CHECK IT OUT.

THERE GOES YOUR OTHER HALF. [ LAUGHS ]

LOOK, GRACE IS TALKING TO SUSIE HURLEY.

YOU KNOW, I USED TO COPY HOMEWORK OFF HER SOPHOMORE YEAR.

SHE'S KIND OF HOT NOW, HUH?

COME ON.

SUSIE HURLEY!

HELLO! HOW YOU DOING?

GOOD!

OH, HOW YOU DOING? GREAT, GREAT!

SO, UH, YOU GOT ANY HOMEWORK I CAN COPY?

THAT DEPENDS ON THE ASSIGNMENT.

WELL, IT'S NOT GEOMETRY. [ LAUGHS ]

HI.

HI.

HOW YOU BEEN? HOW YOU BEEN?

Jonesy: LOOK AT THAT -- AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, STILL IN SYNC.

WHAT A GREAT COUPLE YOU GUYS WERE --

PROM KING AND QUEEN, REMEMBER?

OH, OF COURSE. GRACE ANDERSON AND MICHAEL FOSTER.

MICHAEL AND GRACE.

♪ GRACIE AND MIKEY UP IN THE -- ♪

YEAH, WE GOT IT, JONESY, WE GOT IT.

YOU GUYS WERECUTE.

YOU WERE.

HEY, WHAT DO YOU SAY YOU AND ME

TAKE OUR REUNION ON THE DANCE FLOOR.

I THOUGHT YOU'D NEVER ASK.

HEY. [ LAUGHS ]

UH... [ CHUCKLES ]

SO...

DID YOU COME HERE TONIGHT WITH ANYONE?

[ LAUGHS ] NO.

UH, NO, I -- I'M SOLO TONIGHT.

YOU?

HONESTLY... I HAD A PLAN.

I WAS GONNA COME BY, SAY HI, LEAVE IN 30 MINUTES.

IS THAT HORRIBLE?

NO. THAT WAS MY PLAN EXACTLY.

HEY, UH...

DO YOU WANT TO GO AND FIND A QUIET PLACE TO TALK?

WHAT'S NEW IN THE LAST, UH, 20 YEARS OR SO?

[ LAUGHS ] WELL, I HAVE A SON.

HIS NAME IS SCOTT.

AND I KNOW ALL THESE OTHER MOTHERS SAY THE SAME THING,

BUT MY SON IS PERFECT.

I'M SURE HE IS. PERFECT.

AND HE'S A REALLY GOOD BASKETBALL PLAYER, TOO.

HE'D GIVE YOU A RUN FOR YOUR MONEY BACK IN THE DAY.

OH, I'D WATCH THAT.

I CAN STILL BRING IT FOR AN OLD GUY.

HUSBAND?

YES.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, PAST TENSE.

I DID HAVE A HUSBAND,

BUT HE LEFT WHEN SCOTT WAS VERY YOUNG.

AND WHAT ABOUT YOU? WIFE? KIDS?

UH, NO. UH, NO KIDS.

UH, WIFE FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

YEAH.

DIDN'T END WELL.

I, UH, TRAVELED A LOT WITH MY JOB,

WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT.

SO...

[ CHUCKLES ]

I GUESS YOU'RE DOING MORE THAN ROLLER-SKATING

AND CHEERLEADING THESE DAYS.

YEAH, WELL, AS PROFICIENT AS I WAS IN THOSE TWO THINGS,

I TOOK A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CAREER PATH.

ACTUALLY, I, UM, I OWN MY OWN INTERIOR DESIGN COMPANY.

REALLY? MM-HMM.

THAT'S TOO BAD, BECAUSE THE COMPANY THAT I WORK FOR --

WE USUALLY HIRE LOCALLY, AND I WOULD'VE HIRED YOUR FIRM.

OH. WHAT DO YOU DO?

I WORK FOR THE HYFORD HOTEL GROUP.

[ LAUGHS ] OH, NO.

DOES HOLLAND-YOUNG INTERIOR DESIGNS

MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?

NO. YEAH.

YOU'RE THE FIRM THAT'S DOING THE DESIGNS ON MY HOTEL.

YES!

MY ASSISTANT SPOKE WITH A MS. HOLLAND.

YEAH. WELL, THAT'S MY MARRIED NAME.

I NEVER WENT BACK TO MY MAIDEN NAME.

YOU KNOW WE HAVE A MEETING TOMORROW.

YES, I DO. THAT'S WHY I ALMOST DIDN'T COME TONIGHT.

[ Laughing ] THAT'S UNBELIEVABLE.

UNBELIEVABLE.

WE BROKE UP 20 YEARS AGO TO FOLLOW OUR DREAMS

AND DO THE THINGS THAT WE LOVE --

AND 20 YEARS LATER, WE'RE PURSUING OUR DREAMS

AND DOING WHAT WE LOVE, AND IT BROUGHT US BACK TOGETHER.

I MEAN, NOT TOGETTOGETHER.

NO, I... [ CHUCKLES ]

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

UM...

MAN, I --

I'M SO HAPPY THAT MY JOB BROUGHT ME BACK HOME.

ME TOO.

AND I SWEAR,

I NEVER, EVER WENT TO THAT RESTAURANT EVER AGAIN.

I NEVER WILL, EITHER. I WAS SO SICK.

[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]

OH, WAIT. HOLD ON. I'M SORRY.

OH, UM...

HELLO?

HEY, PHILLIP.

NO, NO, NO. I'M JUST LEAVING RIGHT NOW.

OH, GOOD, GOOD. I'M GLAD YOU GOT IN OKAY.

UM, YEAH.

I ENDED UP HAVING A REALLY GOOD TIME.

UH-HUH.

OKAY, I'LL -- I'LL, UM -- I'LL TALK TO YOU TOMORROW.

BYE.

UH, THAT WAS PHILLIP, MY BOYFRIEND.

HE'S, UM, OUT OF TOWN ON BUSINESS.

UM...

BYE.

BYE.

BYE. BYE.

[ BOTH LAUGH ]

OH, UM... UH, SEE YOU TOMORROW.

YEAH. I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.

[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]

[ WHISTLING ]

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

HELLO? HEY, THERE.

HOW'D IT GO?

IT WAS, UH... IT WAS FUN.

[ LAUGHS ] IT WAS FUN.

I SAW BIG JONESY.

HE SAYS TO SAY HELLO.

SAW A FEW OTHER GUYS FROM THE TEAM.

IT WAS FUN.

HOW'D IT GO?

IT WAS...NICE... AND FUN.

AND, WELL, I SPENT MOST OF THE NIGHT

TALKING TO AN OLD FRIEND.

AND IT WAS SO MUCH FUN CATCHING UP WITH HIM.

IT WAS JUST -- IT WAS -- FUN?

FUN?

IT WAS, YES, FUN.

SO, THIS OLD FRIEND --

WAS HE, LIKE, AN OLD BOYFRIEND KIND OF FRIEND?

UH, YEAH, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

SO, YOU GONNA SEE HIM AGAIN?

AS A MATTER OF FACT, I'M GOING TO SEE HIM TOMORROW.

WAIT. YOU'RE GOING ON A DATE?

NO!

I HAVE A BOYFRIEND, REMEMBER? HIS NAME IS PHILLIP.

THIS IS NOTA DATE.

ARE YOU GONNA SEE HER AGAIN?

TOMORROW, ACTUALLY.

NO, NO, NO, NO. DON'T GET ALL EXCITED.

IT'S JUST FOR WORK.

SHE'S THE HOLLAND OF THE HOLLAND-YOUNG COMPANY

THAT'S HELPING REDESIGN THE HYFORD HOTEL.

WELL, SO WHAT?

SO YOU GUYS HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER.

YOU CAN STILL TAKE HER OUT, CAN'T YOU?

MNH-MNH. SHE'S SEEING SOMEONE.

SO, TOMORROW,

I WILL BE SHOWING HIM MY SWATCHES AND MY PAINT CHIPS.

WELL, JUST REMEMBER WHAT YOU TOLD ME A FEW YEARS AGO.

DON'T SHOW ALL YOUR PAINT CHIPS AND SWATCHES ON THE FIRST DATE.

IT IS NOTA DATE.

[ SIGHS ]

WHAT DO YOU GOT THERE?

WHERE?

I'VE KNOWN YOU FOR FAR TOO LONG TO TRY THAT LOOK ON ME.

WHAT ARE YOU UP TO NOW?

DON'T YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO GO DO OR FIX?

AH!

[ CHUCKLES ]

"GETTING HIM TO SAY I DO..."

I HOPE IT'S FOR YOU,

'CAUSE THE ALTERNATIVE IS IT'S FOR GRACE,

AND YOU PROMISED TO STAY OUT OF HER LOVE LIFE.

I KNOW WHAT I SAID.

BUT SOMETIMES A MOTHER HAS TO BREAK HER PROMISES

TO BECOME THE BEST MOM SHE CAN BE.

PHILLIP AND GRACE HAVE BEEN DATING FOR A LONG TIME NOW,

AND I JUST THINK IT'S TIME FOR THEM TO TAKE IT UP A NOTCH,

THAT'S ALL.

WELL, SAY...

A NOTCH THAT HAS THEM WALKING DOWN THE AISLE.

GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING,

FAVORITE BROTHER-IN-LAW AND MY FAVORITE, FAVORITE SISTER.

CONSIDERING I'M YOUR ONLY SISTER

AND GABE'S YOUR ONLY BROTHER-IN-LAW,

WHAT DID YOU BREAK?

BE CAREFUL, BRO. ANSWER CAREFULLY.

I'VE LEARNED THAT WITH PREGNANCY COMES MOMENTS, AND SOMETIMES...

they can be scary. Got it.

NO MOMENTS, I PROMISE.

IT'S JUST THE LAST TIME

MICHAEL CALLED ME HIS FAVORITE SISTER,

I WAS WATCHING HIM DRIVE OUR FATHER'S CAR

THROUGH THE GARAGE DOOR.

OH, NICE MOVE. RIGHT?

DAD GOT A NEW CAR OUT OF IT.

WELL, OKAY.

IF YOU DIDN'T BREAK ANYTHING, THEN CAN I ASSUME

THAT YOU'RE JUST EXCITED ABOUT GOING TO WORK ON THE WEEKEND?

RACH, THIS -- THIS BREAKFAST -- THIS IS CRAZY.

DOES SHE COOK LIKE THIS EVERY WEEKEND?

DOES THAT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE REUNION?

OH, YEAH. HOW WAS THAT?

IT WAS FANTASTIC.

I SPENT MOST OF THE EVENING WITH GRACE ANDERSON --

GRACE HOLLAND NOW.

EX-GIRLFRIEND GRACE? YES.

GUESS WHO HAPPENS TO BE DOING THE RENOVATION ON THE HOTEL.

GRACE IS? SERIOUSLY?

OF COURSE, NOW SHE'S GOT A BOYFRIEND.

WHO CARES IF SHE HAS A BOYFRIEND?

TRUE LOVE WINS EVERY TIME.

I COMPLETELY AGREE.

YOU DO REALIZE THAT I'M STILL SITTING RIGHT HERE?

AND AS MUCH FUN AS IT'S BEEN

LISTENING TO YOU TALK ABOUT ME IN FRONT OF ME,

I HAVE GOT TO GO AND GET READY.

I AM MEETING GRACE TODAY.

YES, YOU ARE.

HAVE FUN.

HE LIKES HER.

REALLY? HOW CAN YOU TELL?

OH, COME ON, HE LOOKS LIKE I DID THE DAY AFTER I MET YOU --

DAZED AND CONFUSED AND HEAD OVER HEELS.

YOU ARE SO SWEET TO ME.

[ DOOR OPENS ]

WILLIAM ANDERSON, THAT IS ENOUGH.

OOH, DAD. FIRST AND LAST NAME. WHAT DID YOU DO?

HI, MOM.

HI. HI, DADDY.

SO, TELL US,

DID YOU HAVE FUN AT YOUR REUNION LAST NIGHT?

Grace: OH, I HAD SUCH A BLAST.

I ACTUALLY SPENT MOST OF THE EVENING

TALKING TO MICHAEL FOSTER.

YOU REMEMBER HIM?

IT WAS REALLY, REALLY FUN CATCHING UP WITH HIM.

AND THIS IS CRAZY.

YOU'RE NOT EVEN GONNA BELIEVE THIS.

HE'S THE NEW HOTEL REP FOR THE HYFORD HOTELS.

SO WE'RE GONNA BE WORKING TOGETHER.

WELL, THAT'S INTERESTING. YEAH.

IT'S TOO BAD PHILLIP WASN'T HERE LAST NIGHT

SO HE COULD GO WITH YOU.

ACTUALLY, I'M GLAD PHILLIP WAS OUT OF TOWN.

HE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD FUN. HE WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN ANYONE.

HE KNOWS YOU -- FOR A LONG TIME NOW.

OH, HE'S SUCH A GOOD MAN, GRACE, AND YOU'RE VERY COMPATIBLE.

TRUST ME, THAT IS NOT AN EASY THING TO FIND.

NO, IT'S NOT.

NO, IT'S NOT.

MOM, WHAT ARE YOU READING?

NOTHING.

LET ME SEE.

"GETTING HIM TO SAY I DO..."

OH, MOM, PLEASE TELL ME

THAT THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME AND PHILLIP.

I WAS SIMPLY CURIOUS ABOUT HOW THINGS WORK NOWADAYS --

YOU KNOW, WITH RELATIONSHIPS AND ALL THAT.

MOM... I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH,

BUT PHILLIP AND I

ARE VERY CONTENT IN OUR RELATIONSHIP, OKAY?

[ SIGHS ]

OKAY.

I THINK I'M GONNA FINISH GETTING READY.

I HAVE A MEETING AT THE HOTEL LATER.

I'LL JUST HIGHLIGHT THE INTERESTING CHAPTERS FOR YOU.

MOM.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

Grace: SO, I WANTED TO GO FOR A MORE CONTEMPORARY FEEL.

YOU KNOW, RICH COLORS MIXING IN WITH THE WOODS,

KIND OF LIKE YOU WOULD SEE IN A SWISS --

YOU DON'T LIKE IT.

NO. I DON'T.

I LOVEIT.

I LOVE EVERYTHING -- THE SWATCHES,

THE PAINT CHOICES -- EVERYTHING.

IT'S FANTASTIC. IT'S PERFECT.

WELL...THANK YOU FOR YOUR VOTE OF CONFIDENCE.

YOU WERE OUR CLASS PRESIDENT, AFTER ALL.

THAT HAS TO COUNT FOR SOMETHING.

OH, GETTING US TWO FREE DAYS OUR SENIOR YEAR

HARDLY COMPARES TO THIS.

STILL, I EXPECTED NO LESS THAN BRILLIANCE FROM YOU.

OH, I AM JUST SO PLEASED

THAT YOU'RE HAPPY WITH EVERYTHING.

PLEASED? I AM BEYOND PLEASED.

YOUR DESIGNS ARE AMAZING.

THEY'RE REALLY BEAUTIFUL, GRACE.

WELL, I-I JUST WANTED TO SAY -- AND I REALLY WANTED --

I'M SORRY. YOU -- YOU GO.

OKAY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

I WAS GONNA SAY, I KNOW THAT WE'VE HAD SOME DELAYS,

BUT I'M CONFIDENT WE'RE GONNA FINISH ON TIME

AND YOU'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO OPEN UP IN A MONTH,

WHEN YOU WANTED TO.

THAT'S...TOO BAD.

IT IS? YEAH.

I WAS SECRETLY HOPING THAT I COULD FIND A VALID REASON

TO STAY IN TOWN A LITTLE LONGER THAN I ORIGINALLY PLANNED.

I, UM... I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.

OH, UH, NO. I -- [ LAUGHS ] I'M SORRY.

I DIDN'T MEAN FOR IT TO COME OUT THE WAY IT DID,

AND I REALLY HOPE I HAVEN'T OFFENDED YOU.

I WAS JUST THINKING DINNER, THAT'S ALL.

I JUST -- I'M IN A RELATIONSHIP, AND I...

YOU KNOW, I -- I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE

THAT WE'RE BEING APPROPRIATE.

OF COURSE, OF COURSE.

YOU COULD EVEN BRING YOUR BOYFRIEND.

I JUST THOUGHT IT WOULD BE NICE

FOR US TO GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER AS FRIENDS.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE ASKING ME OUT ON A DATE.

I'M SORRY. OKAY. YOU KNOW WHAT?

I WOULD LOVE TO GO OUT TO DINNER WITH YOU,

AND I WOULD LOVE TO BRING PHILLIP.

I WANT HIM TO MEET YOU.

WELL, I LOOK FORWARD TO THAT,

AND I LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING PHILLIP.

GREAT.

OKAY. I'M GONNA --

I'M GONNA TAKE ONE LAST LOOK AROUND

AND GRAB MY STUFF AND GO.

NICE SHOT.

AS MY MOTHER, I'M SURE YOU HAVE TO SAY THAT.

SO, HOW'D THE DATE GO?

THE MEETINGWENT VERY WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

MICHAEL SEEMED TO REALLY LIKE ALL OF MY IDEAS.

SO HE LIKED THE SWATCHES.

YES, HE LIKED THE SWATCHES.

HOPEFULLY, HE'LL BE JUST AS HAPPY

WHEN EVERYTHING'S COMPLETED.

I WONDER WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN

WHEN YOU START HAVING LATE-NIGHT WORK DINNERS.

WONDER IF PHILLIP'S

GONNA HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THAT.

OKAY. THAT IS ENOUGH OUT OF YOU.

[ CHUCKLES ]

SO, PHILLIP WILL BE COMING OVER TONIGHT,

AND YOU CAN ALWAYS WATCH A MOVIE WITH US.

[ DOORBELL RINGS ] AND THAT WOULD BE HIM.

WILL YOU PLEASE LET HIM IN -- NICELY?

YOU KNOW, I THINK I'LL HAVE TO PASS ON THAT MOVIE INVITATION.

THANKS FOR THE OFFER, THOUGH.

I -- I HAVE A LOT OF HOMEWORK TO DO.

[ CHUCKLES SARCASTICALLY ]

HEY, HONEY. HEY!

HOW ARE YOU?

I'M GOOD. YOU MUST BE EXHAUSTED.

WELL, IT'S NOT TOO BAD.

YOU KNOW, THE FLIGHTS TOOK LONGER THAN THE ACTUAL MEETING.

YEAH? OH, THAT'S GOOD.

MAYBE YOU'D LIKE TO GO TO CHURCH WITH ME TOMORROW.

OH, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT. YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY?

SOMETIMES THE JET LAG DOESN'T KICK IN TILL THE NEXT DAY.

HA HA HA HA. VERY FUNNY.

ACTUALLY, MICHAEL --

MY FRIEND WHO I RAN INTO AT THE REUNION --

SAID HE MIGHT BE THERE TOMORROW,

AND I'D REALLY LIKE FOR YOU TO MEET HIM.

IF YOU REALLY WANT ME TO GO, I'LL GO.

HAVE I TOLD YOU LATELY HOW WONDERFUL YOU ARE?

BEFORE YOU DO... THE DANDINO ACCOUNT IS A MESS.

CLIENTS ARE FLYING IN TOMORROW

AND WILL PROBABLY TAKE UP MOST OF MY WEEK.

AM I STILL GREAT?

IF YOU GO WITH ME TOMORROW, THEN YES.

DONE.

I WANT YOU TO HEAR THIS.

GOD DOESN'T FORGET THE DREAMS

THAT YOU HAVE BURIED DEEP INSIDE YOUR HEARTS.

TAKE A LEAP OF FAITH.

WALK INTO THE FUTURE AND SEE WHAT GOD HAS IN STORE FOR YOU,

BECAUSE IF YOU BELIEVE,

YOU'LL FIND THAT NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU

AND EVERYTHING ISPOSSIBLE. [all] AMEN.

I WANT TO SEE YOU NEXT SUNDAY.

YEAH. ALL RIGHT.

Grace: HEY, MICHAEL. MICHAEL.

PHILLIP, I WANT YOU TO MEET MICHAEL.

HE'S MY FRIEND FROM HIGH SCHOOL.

GOOD TO MEET YOU. GOOD TO MEET YOU.

HEARD A RUMOR ABOUT YOU AND GRACE.

REALLY?

THE REUNION -- SHE HASN'T STOPPED TALKING

ABOUT HOW MUCH FUN YOU TWO HAD.

OH, IT WAS, UH -- IT WAS A LOT OF FUN.

IT WAS GREAT TO CATCH UP WITH HER.

AND EVERYONE ELSE.

YEAH, WELL, I'M SORRY I WASN'T ABLE TO BE THERE FOR THE FUN,

BUT THANKS FOR KEEPING GRACE COMPANY.

SURE.

UM, PHILLIP HAD TO FLY OUT FOR A MEETING.

PHILLIP OWNS HIS OWN ACCOUNTING FIRM,

SO HE'S GOT CLIENTS CALLING HIM DAY AND NIGHT,

AND HE ALWAYS MANAGES TO SAVE THE DAY.

GRACE, I'M SURE MICHAEL DOESN'T WANT TO HEAR

ABOUT THE TAX PROBLEMS OF THE RICH AND SOMETIMES IGNORANT.

[ LAUGHTER ]

LISTEN, MICHAEL, IT WAS REALLY GOOD TO MEET YOU.

I PROMISED YOUR MOM

I WOULD HELP ORGANIZE THE DONATIONS FOR THE BAZAAR, SO...

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. I'LL CATCH UP WITH YOU.

UM, HE SEEMS LIKE A REALLY NICE GUY.

HE IS.

HE IS.

I'M SURE MY MOM AND DAD WOULD LIKE TO SAY HI.

I DON'T THINK I RECALL YOUR MOTHER

LOVING ANYTHING I EVER DID.

WHAT?! SHE LIKES YOU! SHE DOES.

YOU KNOW WHAT SHE DIDN'T LIKE?

HOW SERIOUS WE WERE GETTING -- THAT'S WHAT SHE DIDN'T LIKE.

REALLY? YEAH.

WERE WE REALLY THAT SERIOUS?

WELL, CONSIDERING THAT I HAD OUR WEDDING

PERFECTLY PLANNED OUT IN THIS VERY CHURCH,

I GUESS THAT GAVE MY MOTHER REASON TO WORRY.

OH, IT'S FUNNY,

THE THINGS THAT YOU IMAGINE WHEN YOU'RE A KID --

LIKE...AT THE END OF EVERY PEW

WAS A PERFECTLY TIED WHITE BOW,

AND THEY HUNG REALLY LOW, BARELY GRAZING THE GROUND.

AND THEN I HAD LAVENDER ROSE PETALS

SCATTERED UNDERNEATH MY FEET.

AND FATHER MILLICAN GAVE A BEAUTIFUL CEREMONY.

AND THEN AFTERWARDS, WE HAD OUR RECEPTION OUT ON THE LAWN.

WOW.

[ Laughing ] I KNOW. IT'S SILLY, ISN'T IT?

NO! NOT AT ALL. IT SOUNDS BEAUTIFUL.

I DON'T KNOW.

AH, WELL, I GUESS EVERY YOUNG GIRL

DREAMS OF HER FAIRY-TALE WEDDING.

SO, DID YOU GET YOUR FAIRY-TALE WEDDING?

ME?

NO, NO, NO, NO. NOT AT ALL.

NO, I GOT A COURTHOUSE AND A JUSTICE OF THE PEACE.

OOH.

NOT EXACTLY THE WEDDING OF MY DREAMS.

BUT I DID GET SCOTT.

AND I GUESS HE MADE IT ALL WORTH IT.

SO, DO YOU...EAT?

YES, AT LEAST THREE TIMES A DAY.

AH, GOOD.

BECAUSE I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO HAVE DINNER WITH YOU --

AND PHILLIP, IF HE'S FREE.

WELL, PHILLIP HAS A BIG CLIENT IN TOWN.

SO I KNOW HE'S BUSY ALL WEEK, BUT, UM...

I'M FREE.

AH.

TOO BAD FOR PHILLIP, YAY FOR ME.

IT'LL BE FUN. WE CAN CATCH UP.

THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.

GOT IT?

YEAH, OVER HERE.

AH, I SPOKE WITH LINDSAY TODAY,

AND EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE SHAPING UP WELL, ON SCHEDULE,

AND EVEN A LITTLE UNDER BUDGET.

SURE.

"SURE"?

A PACK OF WILDEBEESTS JUST CHARGED THROUGH THE LOBBY

AND ENTERED YOUR OFFICE AND SET UP THEIR NEW HOME.

MM-HMM.

THEN THEY ORDERED KUNG PAO CHICKEN, BROWN RICE.

THAT'S REALLY GOOD WORK, JAMES.

ARE YOU OKAY? ALL THESE RESTAURANTS LOOK THE SAME.

I'M TRYING TO FIND A REALLY NICE PLACE TO TAKE GRACE.

OH.

SO YOU'RE TAKING HER TO A FANCY RESTAURANT, HUH?

YES.

UNLESS, OF COURSE, YOU HAVE ANOTHER SUGGESTION, ROMEO.

OH, I DON'T KNOW.

I GUESS IT'S A FINE IDEA.

I JUST THOUGHT THAT, FOR YOUR FIRST ADULT DATE WITH GRACE,

YOU'D WANT IT TO BE SOMETHING DIFFERENT,

SOMETHING UNEXPECTED.

OKAY, FOR STARTERS, IT'S NOT A DATE.

I EVEN INVITED HER BOYFRIEND, BUT HE CANNOT ATTEND.

SO IT IS NOT A DATE. NOT A DATE.

NO, IT IS TWO PEOPLE GOING TO DINNER WITHOUT HER BOYFRIEND.

IT IS NOT A DATE.

SO, SINCE IT'S JUST THE TWO OF YOU,

HOW ABOUT YOU TAKE HER BACK IN TIME?

WHAT? I -- NO. I ALREADY DID THE REUNION.

WHAT I MEAN IS,

DO SOMETHING THOUGHTFUL, YOU KNOW?

ORIGINAL.

WELL, DON'T YOU LOOK EXCEPTIONALLY PRETTY?

THANK YOU.

I DECIDED TO TAKE A LATE LUNCH BREAK TO GET READY FOR MY DATE.

HOPE THAT'S OKAY. OF COURSE IT IS.

SO, IS THIS DATE WITH ASSISTANT JAMES AGAIN?

YEP.

YOU KNOW, TAKING ONE FOR THE TEAM,

KEEPING AN EYE ON THE ENEMY.

I THINK YOU SHOULD EVEN CONSIDER GIVING ME A RAISE

FOR WORKING OVERTIME.

[ LAUGHS ] NICE TRY.

IT'S JUST TOO BAD THAT THEY HAVE TO LEAVE

ONCE THE HOTEL'S REMODELED, YOU KNOW?

YEAH, IT IS.

YOU KNOW, IT ISKIND OF WEIRD, DON'T YOU THINK?

I MEAN, AFTER ALL THIS TIME,

YOU'RE WORKING WITH YOUR HIGH-SCHOOL BOYFRIEND AGAIN.

THEY SAY EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON.

WELL, "THEY" WHO USUALLY SAY THAT

ARE YOUR AGE, NOT MINE.

AT MY AGE, THE REASON IS SIMPLE --

THEY NEEDED REMODELING, AND WE'RE A GREAT DESIGN FIRM.

THE FACT THAT MICHAEL AND I ARE...

OLD BOYFRIEND AND GIRLFRIEND, IT'S JUST A COINCIDENCE.

MAYBE.

MAYBE NOT.

YOU, UH, NEED ANYTHING ELSE BEFORE I TAKE OFF?

I AM GOOD. YOU GO HAVE A BLAST.

OKAY, HOLD ON TO ME.

I GOT YOU. DON'T WORRY.

GIVE ME A HINT -- JUST ONE LITTLE HINT.

NO! STOP ASKING. WE'RE ALMOST THERE.

I'M TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT BY WHERE I'M WALKING.

I CAN'T. WELL, YOU WON'T, BELIEVE ME.

OKAY. WE'RE ALMOST THERE.

JUST TRUST ME. JUST TRUST ME.

DON'T DROP ME, THOUGH, OKAY?

OKAY, SLOWING DOWN, SLOWING DOWN.

STOPPING. STOP?

STOPPING. TURNING.

I'M ON -- I'M ON AN INCLINE.

YEAH. OKAY. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. YOU READY?

I AM SO EXCITED.

YOU READY? WHAT?

OH! THIS IS WHERE WE HAD OUR FIRST DATE!

OH, MICHAEL, LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID!

OH, THIS IS GREAT! LOOK AT THIS!

MICHAEL! OH, WE HAVE... PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY!

POTATO CHIPS, CHOCOLATE CANDY BAR --

I DON'T EVEN KNOW -- HOW DID YOU REMEMBER ALL OF THIS?

REMEMBER? I NEVER FORGOT.

THIS IS REALLY GREAT.

IT'S ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME,

BUT I FIGURED, SINCE WE'RE A LITTLE OLDER,

I THOUGHT A LITTLE VINO WOULD BE NICE.

GOOD CALL. WE NEED TO MAKE A TOAST.

YES.

TO HIGH-SCHOOL REUNIONS.

TO OLD TIMES.

AND TO NEW ONES.

MM.

[ CHUCKLES ]

MMM.

ISN'T IT FUNNY THAT OUR ASSISTANTS ARE --

WHAT ARE THE COOL KIDS SAYING? -- HOOKING UP?

THEY ARE. WELL, IT'S YOUNG LOVE.

[ CHUCKLES ]

THE ONLY THING I REMEMBER ABOUT YOUNG LOVE

ARE SWEATY PALMS

AND NOT BEING ABLE TO FORM WORDS.

NO, NOT YOU. YOU WERE ALWAYS SO CONFIDENT.

IT WAS ME. I HAD THE BATS IN MY STOMACH.

BATS?

YES, BATS.

THE WAY I FELT ABOUT YOU -- BUTTERFLIES DIDN'T COMPARE.

THAT'S CUTE. BATS.

I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY, LOOK HOW FAR WE'VE COME,

AND...SWEATY PALMS -- I HAVE SWEATY PALMS.

Grace: You've reached Grace Holland.

Please leave a message,

and I'll return your call as soon as possible.

IT'S YOUR MOTHER -- AGAIN.

YOU WERE GOING TO CALL ME WHEN YOU GOT HOME.

NOW IT'S LATE, AND IT'S ABOUT...

Bill: 11:30.

11-- [ GASPS ]

CALL ME IN THE MORNING.

WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING, SNEAKING UP ON ME LIKE THAT?

WHAT ON EARTH AREDOING,

CHECKING IN ON OUR 37-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER?

IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED IT,

SHE'S NOT IN HIGH SCHOOL ANYMORE.

YOUR DAYS OF HER CHECKING IN STOPPED 20 YEARS AGO.

I WAS SIMPLY TRYING TO FIND OUT WHEN PHILLIP IS FREE

SO I COULD -- I COULD PLAN ON A FAMILY DINNER, THAT'S ALL.

[ CHUCKLES ]

DOES THIS FAMILY DINNER HAVE ANYTHING TO DO

WITH YOUR "GETTING HIM TO SAY I DO..." BOOK OF HOOEY?

MARY ANDERSON, I'M WARNING YOU,

YOU'RE GONNA GET YOURSELF IN TROUBLE.

SHE'S OUT WITH MICHAEL FOSTER, AND IT'S LATE.

AND THAT'S IT.

HE CAME HOME ONE DAY AND SAID,

"I'M DONE BEING A HUSBAND AND A FATHER,"

AND HE LEFT THAT NIGHT.

OH, GOD, THAT WAS OVER 15 YEARS AGO.

I NEVER THOUGHT I WAS GONNA MEET ANYONE AFTER THAT.

I KIND OF, YOU KNOW, GAVE UP ON RELATIONSHIPS.

AND THEN, UM, A COUPLE YEARS AGO,

MY COMPANY HIRED PHILLIP TO DO OUR TAXES.

IT WAS COMFORTABLE AND EASY...

RIGHT FROM THE START.

I GUESS IT STILL IS, SO -- SO, THAT -- THAT IS MYSTORY.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

WELL, IT'S PRETTY MUCH THE SAME.

I WAS MARRIED FOR ABOUT A YEAR, AND IT DIDN'T END WELL.

SO THAT'S WHY I'M HESITANT TO TRY IT AGAIN.

PLUS, ALL THE TRAVELING I DO FOR MY JOB --

IT'S REALLY EASY NOT TO THINK ABOUT A SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP.

SEEING YOU, THOUGH -- IT'S...MADE ME THINK ABOUT IT.

I MEAN, SEEING YOU AND PHILLIP TOGETHER, AND HOW --

RIGHT. OKAY.

[ CHUCKLES ]

SO, UH, ARE THERE WEDDING BELLS IN YOUR FUTURE?

Sco HEY.

UH, AM I INTERRUPTING?

NO! NO, YOU'RE NOT INTERRUPTING.

COME HERE. SIT DOWN. I WANT YOU TO MEET MICHAEL.

MICHAEL, THIS IS MY SON -- SCOTT.

HEY. NICE TO FINALLY MEET YOU.

I'VE BEEN HEARING A LOT ABOUT YOU.

UH, ALL GOOD, I HOPE.

YEAH.

SO, MY MOM TELLS ME YOU'RE A PRETTY GOOD BASKETBALL PLAYER.

"PRETTY GOOD"?

OH, IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME. I'M ONLY GOING FROM MEMORY.

YOUR MEMORY IS SELECTIVE AND NOT IN MY FAVOR.

YOU COULD ALWAYS COME OVER

AND PLAY SOME ONE-ON-ONE SOMETIME.

YEAH, YEAH. THAT'D BE GREAT.

I THINK I STILL HAVE SOME MOVES

THAT WON A FEW BASKETBALL GAMES BACK IN THE DAY.

WHY DON'T I COME BY IN A FEW DAYS

AND WE CAN PLAY SOME BALL?

SOUNDS COOL. I GET OFF PRACTICE AROUND 5:00.

SO, AFTER, YOU CAN COME HANG OUT FOR A BIT.

THAT SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN TO ME.

OH, I'M SORRY. IS THAT OKAY?

YES, THAT IS OKAY WITH ME.

COOL. WELL... IT WAS NICE MEETING YOU.

AND YOU.

[ SIGHS ]

WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN MYSELF INTO?

HOW GOOD OF A BALLPLAYER IS THIS KID?

OH, THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT ARE BETTER LEFT UNSAID.

[ Sighing ] OH, DEAR.

SERIOUSLY, LINDSAY,

SONOT GONNA IMPRESS GRACEWITH THAT CHOICE.

[ SIGHS ]

I KIND OF LIKE IT, MYSELF.

OKAY, EITHER YOU HAVE NO DESIGN TALENT,

OR YOU DIDN'T TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT MY HIDEOUS CHOICE.

OR...I HAPPEN TO LIKE THE DESIGNER'S ASSISTANT SO MUCH

THAT NO MATTER WHAT IDEA SHE GIVES ME,

I THINK IT'S THE GREATEST ONE.

ACTUALLY, I THINK I LIKE THAT CHOICE THE BEST.

WELL, I'M GLAD, 'CAUSE IT'S THE TRUTH.

WHAT?

OH, MAN. [ LAUGHS ]

NO, IT'S FUNNY.

MICHAEL AND I WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO WORK AT THIS HOTEL

AND DO THIS JOB.

BUT I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE IF WE DIDN'T NOW.

I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THAT.

FATE WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW,

FATE'S CERTAINLY WORKING FOR MICHAEL AND GRACE.

RIGHT.

I'VE WORKED FOR MICHAEL FOR A LONG TIME.

I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM LIKE THIS.

SAME WITH GRACE.

SHE'S LIKE A DIFFERENT PERSON SINCE MICHAEL'S BEEN BACK.

MICHAEL ACTS LIKE A KID.

HE GETS SO EXCITED

WHEN HE KNOWS THAT GRACE IS COMING TO THE HOTEL.

GRACE TOO!

IT'S LIKE SHE SMILES ALL THE TIME NOW.

IT'S JUST REALLY GREAT TO SEE SOMEONE THAT HAPPY, YOU KNOW?

YEAH.

I DO.

Grace: YOU LOOK, UH, REALLY GOOD ON SCOTT'S BIKE.

Michael: THANKS.

IT'S A LITTLE SMALL, BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'LL DO THE TRICK.

WELL, HE'S A SMALLER BOY THAN YOU.

IT IS SO NICE TO BE BACK IN THIS PARK.

I ALWAYS LOVED THIS PARK.

OH, I KNOW. ME TOO.

ARE YOU NERVOUS?

NO. WHY?

COME ON. YOU A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS?

[ LAUGHS ] I'M NOT NERVOUS. WHY?

YOU SEEM NERVOUS, THAT'S ALL.

HOW DO I SEEM NERVOUS?

ALL RIGHT. YOU'RE FLICKING YOUR HAIR.

YOU USED TO DO THAT 20 YEARS AGO

WHEN YOU WOULD GET NERVOUS.

I AM NOTNERVOUS.

IT'S JUST WEIRD, YOU KNOW?

HANGING OUT WITH YOU AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.

GOOD WEIRD, I HOPE.

YES. [ CHUCKLES ]

YOU KNOW WHAT THIS FEELS LIKE?

WHAT?

THIS FEELS LIKE THE LAST NIGHT I SAW YOU

BEFORE YOU WENT OFF TO SCHOOL.

OH. THAT NIGHT.

I DID NOT WANT THAT NIGHT TO END.

WE JUST SAT HERE IN THAT AWKWARD SILENCE UNTIL --

UNTIL YOU BROKE UP WITH ME.

I DIDN'T WANT TO HOLD YOU BACK.

YOU BROKE MY HEART THAT NIGHT.

YOU BROKE MY HEART THE DAY YOU LEFT.

HMM.

I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO HOLD YOU BACK

FROM WHAT YOU WANTED TO DO.

YOU WERE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE.

YOU WERE THE LOVE OF MYLIFE.

OH, MICHAEL.

I'M SORRY. YEAH.

I-I HOPE I DIDN'T MAKE YOU FEEL --

NO. NO, NO, NO. NO, YOU DIDN'T.

WE JUST HAVE REALLY BAD TIMING, THAT'S ALL.

REALLYBAD.

YEAH.

Rachel: YOU DIDN'T!

Michael: I SAID I ALMOSTKISSED HER.

SHE'S GOT THIS PHILLIP GUY THAT SHE SEEMS HAPPY WITH,

AND WE'RE WORKING ON THIS PROJECT TOGETHER,

AND, YEAH, YOU KNOW WHAT?

SHE'LL JUST MOVE ON AND FORGET ABOUT

THIS NON-MOMENT MOMENT WE HAD, RIGHT?

I'M SURE SHE WILL. ABSOLUTELY.

YEAH, FORGET IT.

TELL ME YOU DID NOT.

OF COURSE I DIDN'T, MOM. NOTHING HAPPENED.

I SAID "ALMOST,"

AS IN WE COULD HAVE KISSED, BUT WE DIDN'T.

WELL, YOU'RE SPENDING TOO MUCH TIME WITH HIM, ANYWAY.

IT'S NOT RIGHT.

I MEAN, IF YOU WEREN'T

DILLYDALLYING AROUND WITH MICHAEL,

WE'D BE SITTING HERE TALKING ABOUT WHAT MOVIE

YOU SAW LAST NIGHT WITH PHILLIP.

I HAVETO SPEND TIME WITH MICHAEL, MOM.

I'M REMODELING THE HOTEL. YOU KNOW THAT.

AND YOUKNOW I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT YOUR JOB.

I'M TALKING ABOUT YOUR DATES.

OH, WHAT MICHAEL AND I ARE DOING ARE NOT DATEDATES.

THEY'RE NOT! THEY'RE...

YOU KNOW WHAT? IT'S NOT A DATE.

HEY, GRANDMA. GOOD MORNING.

HI, HONEY.

HEY, MOM. HEY.

UH, WHAT'S FOR DINNER TONIGHT?

WHY?

DO YOU HAVE A SUDDEN CULINARY INTEREST I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?

MM, NO.

MY INTEREST LIES IN PLAYING BASKETBALL WITH MICHAEL --

WELL, SPECIFICALLY, BEATINGHIM.

I WAS JUST CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT'S FOR DINNER.

OH, THAT'S TONIGHT, RIGHT? OKAY.

UM, I HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUT DINNER.

WELL, CAN I PUT IN A LITTLE REQUEST?

ONLY IF YOU PLAN ON COOKING IT WITH ME.

UGH.

WELL, IN THAT CASE,

I'M SURE WHATEVER YOU MAKE WILL BE JUST PERFECT.

BYE, GRANDMA.

BYE, HONEY.

MOM, STOP IT.

IT IS JUST DINNER, AND IT'S FOR SCOTT.

IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH ME.

UH-HUH.

WELL, AS YOUR MOTHER, I'M JUST ASKING YOU

TO THINK ABOUT WHAT I SAID, THAT'S ALL.

OKAY?

OKAY.

EVERYTHING LOOKS GREAT. EVERYBODY KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

OH, HEY. I'M JUST CALLING YOU.

YEAH? OH, WHY? IS EVERYTHING --

OH, YOU'RE NOT TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE GAME TONIGHT, HUH?

ACTUALLY, YES, I AM, VERY MUCH SO.

BUT THAT IS NOT WHY I'M CALLING.

OH, WELL, I'M GLAD, BECAUSE SCOTT IS REALLY EXCITED.

WELL, THAT MAKES THE TWO OF US. WATCH YOUR BACK.

OKAY. WHOOPS. SO, YOU SAID YOU WERE CALLING.

IS EVERYTHING OKAY?

YEAH. EVERYTHING'S GREAT, ACTUALLY.

EVERYTHING'S COMING ALONG REALLY NICELY.

UM, I JUST WANTED TO TALK TO YOU

ABOUT IF I MADE YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE

OR IF I CROSSED A LINE.

OH, MICHAEL, NO, NO, NO. EVERYTHING'S FINE.

I MEAN, WE'RE JUST TWO OLD FRIENDS GETTING REACQUAINTED.

I MEAN, NOTHING HAPPENED.

OKAY. YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.

WE'RE JUST TWO OLD FRIENDS.

GOOD. WELL, I'LL SEE YOU LATER TONIGHT.

YES, YOU WILL. YOU NERVOUS?

OH, TERRIBLY. I'M SHAKING IN MY BOOTS.

YOU LOOK IT.

[ CHUCKLES ]

[ CELLPHONE DINGS ]

OH, I'M DEAD.

HEY. LOOKING GOOD.

THANKS. HEARD A RUMOR YOU WERE GONNA FORFEIT.

THINKING ABOUT IT. AND?

AND I'M STILL THINKING ABOUT IT.

YOU KNOW, IF IT GETS TO BE TOO MUCH,

WE COULD ALWAYS STOP.

[ CHUCKLES ] YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNNY.

I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY THAT TO YOU.

OH! TRASH-TALKING ALREADY!

YOU GONNA PLAY DRESSED LIKE THAT?

I APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERN FOR ME,

BUT A REALBASKETBALL PLAYER CAN PLAY IN ANYTHING.

OKAY. HOW ABOUT A FRIENDLY GAME?

I'M UP FOR IT IF YOU ARE.

OKAY.

HOW ABOUT FIRST TO 21?

UNLESS YOU'D RATHER ME MAKE IT EASIER ON YOU AND STOP AT 10.

[ CHUCKLES ]

YOUTH BEFORE TALENT.

3-NOTHING.

LUCKY SHOT.

[ LAUGHTER ]

Grace: WELL, YOU TWO LOOKED PRETTY GOOD OUT THERE.

OH, YOU KNOW, I NEVER LOST IT, YOU KNOW?

IT'S ALL THERE, STILL. YEAH.

SO, DINNER IS ALMOST READY.

OH, NO. REALLY? [ GROANS ]

WE WERE JUST ABOUT TO START ANOTHER GAME.

LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE OFF THE HOOK --

AT LEAST UNTIL AFTER DINNER.

SO, WHO WON?

MOM, TO BE FAIR, MICHAEL DID WIN A FEW GAMES.

OR MAYBE...ONE.

Michael: OKAY. YOU KNOW WHAT?

IF I HAD THE PROPER CLOTHES

AND MY BASKETBALL SHOES, WE'D BE HAVING

AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT CONVERSATION RIGHT NOW.

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO

"A REAL BASKETBALL PLAYER CAN PLAY IN ANYTHING"?

OKAY, CAN YOU GROUND THIS KID FOR LIKE A MONTH?

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

WE'RE ON FOR A REMATCH. ANYTIME.

BRING IT.

[ Groaning ] OH.

SO, TELL ME,

DID I LOOK AS GOOD AS I DID IN HIGH SCHOOL?

YOU REALLY WANT ME TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH?

NO. [ LAUGHS ] NO, I DON'T.

COME ON, OLD MAN, LET ME GET YOU DINNER.

IT TOOK THE CITY A WEEK TO SCRUB THAT OFF THE WATER TOWER.

IT WAS TWOWEEKS! WAS IT?

[ LAUGHTER ]

I BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW YOUR MOM WAS SUCH A REBEL, HUH?

WELL, YOU KNOW IT'S THOSE THINGS THAT YOU DO FOR LOVE.

UH, WOULD YOU LIKE SOME HELP?

NO. I'VE GOT IT, THANK YOU.

GOOD, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF I COULD STAND UP

EVEN IF YOU DID NEED HELP.

SO, YOUNG MAN, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WITH YOUR LIFE?

MAJORING IN WHAT, I HAVE NO IDEA.

I'M STILL TRYING TO FIGURE THAT OUT RIGHT NOW.

WELL, WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE, I WAS EXACTLY THE SAME.

SO, WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE HYFORD OPENS?

WHAT DO YOU DO THEN?

I USUALLY JUST GO

WHEREVER THE NEXT HOTEL THAT NEEDS TO BE RENOVATED IS.

WOW. SO WHAT'S NEXT?

I DON'T KNOW.

THERE'S BEEN MENTION OF A FEW PLACES

BUT NOTHING CONFIRMED.

IS THAT HARD TO GET SETTLED SOMEWHERE

AND THEN HAVE TO JUST UP AND LEAVE?

UP UNTIL NOW, NO.

BUT I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT IT'S BEEN GREAT BEING BACK HOME.

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

Grace: OH.

OH, THANK YOU FOR SPENDING SO MUCH TIME WITH SCOTT.

I KNOW HE HAD A BLAST HANGING OUT WITH YOU.

WELL, I'M GLAD.

I DON'T THINK I'LL BE ABLE TO WALK TOMORROW,

BUT I THINK IT WAS WORTH IT.

[ LAUGHS ]

WELL, I'M GLAD YOU CAME, TOO.

WOULD IT BE OUT OF LINE IF I SAID

THAT SPENDING ALL THIS TIME WITH YOU

HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL?

NO. I FEEL THE SAME WAY.

[ CHUCKLES ]

YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNNY, AFTER ALL THESE YEARS,

HOW SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE.

LIKE WHAT THAT SMILE OF YOURS STILL DOES TO ME.

[ LAUGHS ]

I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER WANTED A CIRCUMSTANCE TO BE DIFFERENT

MORE THAN I DO RIGHT NOW, GRACE.

I KNOW. ME TOO.

[ SIGHS ] BUT THEY AREN'T.

I MEAN, MY RELATIONSHIP WITH PHILLIP

MAY NOT BE FAIRY-TALE PERFECT,

BUT...

I KNOW HE'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

HE'S, UM...

HE'S STABLE.

HEY, I GET IT.

[ SIGHS ]

OH.

YOUR TIMING STILL STINKS...

EVEN AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.

IT APPEARS SO.

MICHAEL...

[ SIGHS ]

...WHILE YOU'RE STILL HERE, MAYBE WE...

MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T SEE EACH OTHER AS MUCH.

GOODBYE, GRACE.

GOODBYE, MICHAEL.

[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]

[ GATE SQUEAKS ]

OH, YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN MICHAEL, MOM.

IT WAS JUST CRAZY, WATCHING HIM TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH ME.

"CRAZY" BEING A GOOD THING NOWADAYS?

YES.

[ SIGHS ]

IT WAS A LOT OF FUN HANGING OUT WITH HIM, YOU KNOW?

WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH YOU GUYS, ANYWAY?

THERE'S NO DEAL.

WE'RE JUST TWO OLD FRIENDS FROM HIGH SCHOOL.

IT'S NOTHING MORE.

MM. IF YOU SAY SO.

HE'S JUST REALLY COOL, AND...

LOOK, I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER SEEN YOU THIS HAPPY BEFORE,

AND YOU DON'T LOOK AT PHILLIP

THE WAY YOU LOOK AT MICHAEL, MOM.

OH, WELL, SCOTT, PEOPLE --

PEOPLE LOVE EACH OTHER IN DIFFERENT WAYS.

MY RELATIONSHIP WITH PHILLIP

IS BASED ON COMPATIBILITY

AND FRIENDSHIP AND RESPECT.

PHILLIP IS A VERY...SMART, NICE MAN.

AND WE -- WE GENUINELY LIKE EACH OTHER.

YOU'LL REALIZE AS YOU GET OLDER, SCOTT,

THAT THOSE ARE VERY IMPORTANT POINTS IN A RELATIONSHIP.

LOOK, YOU'VE ALWAYS TOLD ME THAT I'LL KNOW WHEN IT'S LOVE

BECAUSE I WON'T BE ABLE TO STOP SMILING.

ANDHAVEN'T STOPPED SMILING SINCE YOUR REUNION.

I'M JUST SAYING FOR THE RECORD, MOM.

WHEN YOU JUST TALKED ABOUT PHILLIP RIGHT NOW,

YOU DIDN'T MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT BEING IN LOVE.

JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

GOOD NIGHT.

[ SIGHS ]

Gabe: DON'T THEY HAVE A WALLPAPER

THAT SUBLIMINALLY SAYS "FUTURE PRO BASKETBALL PLAYER"?

I'M GONNA PRETEND YOU DIDN'T SAY THAT.

"FUTURE... NOBEL PRIZE WINNER"?

I'D STICK WITH THE PRO BALLPLAYER, IF I WERE YOU.

MICHAEL, IF YOU CAN'T SAY ANYTHING SERIOUS,

THEN WILL YOU JUST GO AWAY SO THAT GABE CAN CONCENTRATE?

OKAY.

THEN I'LL SAY SOMETHING SERIOUS.

I THINK I'M FALLING IN LOVE WITH GRACE.

REALLY? WHAT?

AND I DON'T THINK I EVER STOPPED LOVING HER.

[ LAUGHS ]

I'D GO WITH THAT ONE.

WAIT A MINUTE! WAIT!

WHAT DID GRACE SAY WHEN YOU TOLD HER?

NOTHING... BECAUSE I DIDN'T.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?

NOTHING!

NOTHING. I CAN'T DO ANYTHING.

SHE'S WITH SOMEONE -- HAPPILYWITH SOMEONE, RACH.

AND I DON'T WANT TO BE THE ONE WHO RUINS IT.

LOOK, WE BOTH DECIDED

THAT WE WILL NOT SEE EACH OTHER OUTSIDE OF WORK.

IT'S JUST -- IT'S CONFUSING... FOR BOTH OF US.

MICHAEL...

IF YOU'RE REALLY IN LOVE WITH HER,

YOU GOT TO TELL HER.

WHAT IF SHE'S THINKING THE EXACT SAME THING YOU ARE?

YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF AND HER TO BE HONEST.

RIGHT, BABY?

EVERYTHING SHE JUST SAID, MAN.

[ CHUCKLES ]

NO. NO. NO.

GUYS, LOOK, I APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERN,

BUT I'LL BE FINE, ALL RIGHT?

I'LL BE FINE.

HEY, I'LL -- I'LL LEAVE, AND GRACE WILL FORGET ALL ABOUT ME

AND WHATEVER WE HAD WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER.

IT'LL BE FINE.

SHE'S WITH SOMEONE ELSE.

SHE'S CONTENT. SHE'S MOVING ON WITH HER LIFE.

SHE DID IT BEFORE, RIGHT?

Worker: TAKE IT EASY OVER THERE.

I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE, SIR.

YES, THAT HOTEL HAS BEEN IN NEED OF A RENOVATION

FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

NO, IT WAS GREAT.

THE DESIGNER'S, UH, RIGHT HERE. SHE'S A LOCAL HIRE.

[ CHUCKLES ] SHE WAS AMAZING.

OKAY. GREAT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

YOU TOO.

HEADQUARTERS? YEP.

IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO TIE UP LOOSE ENDS.

THEY'VE CHOSEN THEIR NEXT HOTEL.

WHICH ONE?

UNFORTUNATELY, THE ONE I WAS HOPING

IT WASN'T GOING TO BE.

THE ONE THAT'S 3,000 MILES AWAY FROM HERE.

I HOPE I'M NOT OUT OF LINE BY SAYING THIS.

IT'S JUST THAT I'VE NOTICED THAT YOU AND GRACE

HAVE GOTTEN REALLY CLOSE AND ALL...

AND YOUR FAMILY, TOO.

I WAS JUST WONDERING HOW YOU CAN WALK AWAY

FROM EVERYTHING THAT'S HOME TO YOU.

I DON'T KNOW JAMES. I REALLY -- I...

I DON'T KNOW.

SAY HOW MUCH TIME WE HAVE?

YEAH. ABOUT A WEEK.

I GUESS I BETTER START MAKING SOME CALLS,

GET THINGS READY TO GO.

HMM? YEAH. THANKS.

MI-- MICHAEL, CAN I ASK YOU SOMETHING?

YEAH. SURE.

WHAT IF...I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE?

I MEAN, NO DISRESPECT TO YOU.

YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LIKE WORKING WITH YOU.

IT'S JUST THAT I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT MAYBE SEEING

WHAT KIND OF OFFER THEY CAN MAKE ME HERE, YOU KNOW?

AT THIS HOTEL, SPECIFICALLY.

I-I...THINK I WANT TO STAY.

THIS WOULDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH LINDSAY, NOW, WOULD IT?

YES, IT DOES.

WELL, I THINK THAT'S GREAT.

AND I'LL CALL CORPORATE AND SEE WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU.

REALLY? REALLY.

THANK YOU. WHATEVER YOU CAN DO.

I-I APPRECIATE THAT, MICHAEL.

THANK YOU!

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

COME IN.

HEY. JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW I'M BACK.

DID YOU HAVE A NICE LUNCH WITH JAMES?

I DID.

HE'S... [ LAUGHS ]

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.

HE'S AMAZING!

WE GET ALONG SO WELL,

AND -- I DON'T KNOW -- WE LAUGH SO HARD,

AND WE LIKE ALL THE SAME THINGS.

I'VE NEVER HAD A BOYFRIEND BEFORE.

I MEAN, NOT LIKE THIS. NOT SERIOUS.

I JUST CAN'T STOP SMILING WHEN I'M AROUND HIM.

IT SEEMS YOU CAN'T EVEN WHEN YOU'RE NOT.

I KNOW, IT'S SILLY. I'M SORRY.

NO. NO, IT'S NOT SILLY AT ALL, LINDSAY -- NOT AT ALL.

IT'S, UM -- PEOPLE SPEND THEIR WHOLE LIVES

LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY WHO WILL MAKE THEM FEEL

THE WAY YOU'RE FEELING RIGHT NOW.

WHEN YOU FIND IT, IT'S -- IT'S, UM...

IT'S TRULY MAGICAL, BELIEVE ME.

OKAY, I PROMISED JAMES I WOULDN'T SAY ANYTHING,

BUT, UM, I CAN'T HELP IT.

MICHAEL TOLD JAMES THAT THEY'RE LEAVING IN A FEW DAYS

TO GO TO THE NEW HOTEL,

WHICH IS, LIKE, A COUPLE THOUSAND MILES AWAY.

BUT GUESS WHAT.

JAMES MIGHT STAY!

THAT'S GREAT.

GRACE, YOU OKAY?

YEAH. YEAH, I'M FINE. I JUST REMEMBERED SOMETHING.

THAT WOULD BE GREAT IF JAMES COULD STAY.

OH, YEAH, IT WOULD.

OKAY.

WELL, UM, I'M GONNA GO GET STARTED ON THOSE INVOICES.

OKAY.

NEED ANY HELP?

WELL, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I THOUGHT YOU HAD A HOTEL TO OPEN.

ARE YOU OKAY?

YEAH, I'M OKAY. JUST CAME BY TO SAY HI.

I BET YOU A PRETTY PENNY YOU DIDN'T COME BY

IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR WORKDAY JUST TO SAY HI,

NOW, DID YOU YOU?

[ SIGHS ]

NOW, HONEY, I CAN TELL WHEN SOMETHING'S BOTHERING YOU.

BUT I'M NOT A MIND-READER.

MOM, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME ANYMORE.

IS IT ABOUT WORK?

DIDN'T THINK SO. SIT.

I...DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

I, UM...

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO FEELANYMORE.

LITTLE MORE SPECIFIC WOULD BE HELPFUL.

OKAY.

OH, PHILLIP.

PHILLIP MAKES ME FEEL... CONTENT

AND -- AND HAPPY, FOR THE MOST PART.

I MEAN, I KNOW EVERY -- EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT

IS GONNA BE OUR MOVIE NIGHT,

AND IT'S CHINESE TAKEOUT EVERY TUESDAY.

AND FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS, IT'S BEEN...

NICE...AND EASY.

AND THERE HAVE BEEN NO GRAND FIREWORKS.

BUT THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN NO THUNDERSTORMS, EITHER.

WELL, YOU LOST ME AT THE THUNDERSTORMS.

OH. HUH.

OH, THESE LAST FEW WEEKS WITH MICHAEL --

MOM...I FEEL LIKE A KID AGAIN.

I GET SO EXCITED WHEN -- WHEN I KNOW HE'S ON THE PHONE,

AND -- AND I LOOK FORWARD TO OUR TALKS.

AND I JUST DON'T FEEL THAT WAY ABOUT PHILLIP.

AND, UM...

I DON'T KNOW. I'M CONFUSED.

YOU KNOW, HOW YOU DESCRIBED YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH PHILLIP --

THAT'S NOT A BAD THING.

TAKE A STEP BACK

AND THINK LONG AND HARD ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO.

OH, BABY.

HAS GRACE COME BY THE HOTEL YET?

UH, NO. NO, NOT YET.

BUT LINDSAY DID SAY SHE WAS WORKING IN THE OFFICE TODAY.

I KIND OF ALREADY ASKED FOR YOU.

SO, UH, SHE DOESN'T WANT TO TALK TO ME ABOUT ANYTHING?

I GUESS NOT.

OH, UH, CORPORATE CALLED ME ABOUT YOU,

AND I TOLD THEM THAT YOU ARE INCREDIBLY IRRESPONSIBLE,

JUVENILE, YOU'RE ALWAYS LATE,

AND YOU'RE INCREDIBLY UNORGANIZED.

I HEARD YOU GAVE ME A REALLY GREAT RECOMMENDATION.

OH, WELL, I SAID A FEW NICE THINGS IN THERE.

JUST A FEW?

THEY OFFERED ME A PERMANENT JOB AT THIS HOTEL,

AND I DECIDED TO TAKE IT.

WELL, THAT IS GREAT. GOOD FOR YOU.

THANKS. I'M EXCITED.

WELL, I THINK YOU'RE GONNA DO A GREAT JOB HERE.

I HOPE I'M MAKING THE RIGHT DECISION.

I MEAN, AM I CRAZY? AM I CRAZY?

I'M TAKING A JOB IN A TOWN I JUST GOT TO,

ALL FOR A GIRL I BARELY KNOW.

JAMES, I'D LIKE YOU TO LISTEN TO ME VERY CAREFULLY.

IF YOU THINK YOU'RE FALLING IN LOVE

OR YOU MIGHT HAVE ALREADY FALLEN IN LOVE,

IT'S THE RIGHT DECISION.

THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY DAY.

THIS IS VERY, VERY SPECIAL.

AND YOU'RE A VERY SMART MAN FOR FOLLOWING YOUR HEART.

THAT'S GOOD ADVICE.

I WAS WONDERING IF BY ANY CHANCE

YOU WERE LISTENING TO YOURSELF GIVE IT.

AH, NO.

NO, IT'S, UH, A LOT HARDER TO FOLLOW YOUR HEART

WHEN YOU GET TO BE MY AGE

AND, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE OLDER.

RIGHT.

AND NOW THAT YOU'RE ALMOST NO LONGER MY BOSS,

I CAN EASILY SAY THAT WAS BY FAR THE --

THE DUMBEST THING YOU'VE EVER SAID.

THE DUMBEST?

LIKE, REALLYDUMB.

THE DUMBEST.

YEAH. YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU'REDUMB.

YEAH. NO, YEAH.

I MEAN -- YEAH, YOU'REDUMB.

THAT WAS A LUCKY SHOT.

[ INTERCOM BEEPS ]

Grace: Lindsay, can you come in here

when you get a second, please?

SURE. I'LL BE RIGHT IN.

HEY. WHAT YOU NEED?

I NEED YOU TO SCHEDULE THE WALK-THROUGH

AT THE HYFORD HOTEL.

SURE. FOR WHEN?

FOR WHENEVER WORKS FOR YOU. YOU'RE GONNA DO THIS ONE.

YOU MEAN WITH YOU?

I MEAN FORME.

BUT WON'T MICHAEL EXPECT YOU THERE?

I MEAN, ALL THINGS CONSIDERED --

ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, I THINK YOU CAN HANDLE THIS ONE.

AND I'VE GOT OTHER THINGS I NEED TO TAKE CARE OF.

YOU CAN DO IT, LINDSAY.

SURE. I'LL, UM -- I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT RIGHT NOW.

GRACE, IS EVERYTHING -- ARE YOU OKAY?

I'M GOOD. THANK YOU, LINDSAY.

"HEY, MICHAEL, I FORGOT TO REMIND YOU

WE'RE AT OUR 'BRINGING HOME BABY' CLASS TONIGHT."

THAT'S CUTE. [ CHUCKLES ]

"I LEFT YOU DINNER IN THE FRIDGE,

"AND MAYBE, SINCE I'M SO VERY, VERY NICE AND VERY PREGNANT,

"YOU'LL BE A NICE BROTHER

"AND CLEAN OUT THE LAUNDRY ROOM FOR THE CHURCH BAZAAR.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE. LOVE, RACH."

[ EXHALES DEEPLY ]

I THOUGHT FOR SURE SHE WOULD'VE THROWN YOU OUT.

BATTERIES -- NICE.

[ BUTTONS CLICKING ]

[ SLOW MUSIC PLAYS ]

OH, YES!

CLASSIC.

WHY?

♪ BUT HERE I AM

♪ LOOKIN' INTO YOUR EYES

♪ WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG?

♪ YEAH

♪ YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES LONGING LIKE A FIRE ♪

♪ A FIRE WE'RE AFRAID TO TOUCH

♪ SO HERE I PUT MY HEART RIGHT IN YOUR HANDS, GIRL ♪

♪ NOW THAT I KNOW THAT I NEED YOU THIS MUCH ♪

♪ YEAH

Mary: PHILLIP IS A GOOD, KIND, GENEROUS MAN.

WHY SHOULD GRACE EVEN THINK ABOUT LEAVING HIM

FOR SOMEONE SHE HASN'T BEEN IN TOUCH WITH FOR 20 YEARS?

IS THIS ONE OF THOSE TIMES YOU WANT ME TO ACTUALLY ANSWER?

'CAUSE NOBODY CAN HELP WHO THEY FALL IN LOVE WITH,

AND YOU KNOW THAT BETTER THAN ANYBODY.

JUST REMEMBER BACK A FEW YEARS.

YOUR PARENTS WEREN'T SO EXCITED WITH YOUR CHOICE, EITHER.

AND THAT'S TURNED OUT PRETTY GOOD.

YOU RAISED A SMART DAUGHTER, MARY ANDERSON,

AND GRACE WILL DO THE RIGHT THING.

BUT THAT IS THE RIGHT THING FOR HER.

OH, THAT'S WHAT I'M AFRAID OF.

[ CHUCKLES ]

Rachel: IT'S NOT TOO LATE.

Michael: IT IS, RACH. IT'S TOO LATE!

LISTEN...I KNOW THAT YOU WERE SCARED TO TELL GRACE

HOW DEEP YOUR FEELINGS RUN FOR HER.

BUT MAYBE IF YOU JUST TELL HER EXACTLY WHAT YOU TOLD ME --

MAYBE WHAT?

SHE'S WITH SOMEONE ELSE.

I CAN'T THINK

THAT JUST BECAUSE I'M IN TOWN FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME,

ALL OF A SUDDEN, GRACE IS GONNA REALIZE

THAT SHE'S STILL IN LOVE WITH ME.

AND I CAN'T EXPECT HER TO HAVE THE SAME FEELINGS AS I DO,

AND I CERTAINLY CAN'T EXPECT HER TO CHANGE HER LIFE FOR ME

BASED ON A RELATIONSHIP THAT WE HAD SO MANY YEARS AGO

WHEN WE WERE KIDS.

RACH, WE WERE KIDS.

MICHAEL, YOU ARE MY BROTHER,

SO I KNOW WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SAY IS TRUE.

YOU ARE A SMART MAN.

AND SMART MEN

DON'T LET THE LOVES OF THEIR LIVES WALK AWAY...

TWICE.

TELL HER HOW YOU FEEL BEFORE YOU LEAVE.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT THERE'S MORE WHERE THIS CAME FROM?

[ GRUNTS ]

I'M SORRY, PHILLIP. WHAT DID YOU SAY?

NOTHING. NO.

[ SIGHS ] YOU OKAY?

YOU, UH, YOU SEEM DISTRACTED.

OH, I -- IT'S THE HOTEL.

I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT WHAT I HAVE TO DO,

MAKING CHECKLISTS IN MY HEAD.

I'M -- I'M SORRY. YOU'RE RIGHT. I HAVE BEEN DISTRACTED.

GRACE, IT'S OKAY. I KNOW YOU'VE HAD A LOT GOING ON.

I UNDERSTAND.

THANK YOU FOR BEING PATIENT AND UNDERSTANDING.

WELL, YOU CAN THANK ME TONIGHT.

I THOUGHT MAYBE WE'D GET SOME DINNER AFTER WE'RE DONE HERE.

I THINK THAT WOULD BE GREAT, PHILLIP.

YEAH. I WOULD LOVE THAT.

WELL, GOOD.

I'VE GOT TO GET THIS BOX OVER TO YOUR MOM.

SHE'S GOT A SYSTEM GOING.

AND YOU KNOW HOW YOUR MOM IS.

YES, YOU CANNOT MESS WITH HER SYSTEM.

GRACE, CAN YOU GET THE REST OF THE BOXES?

YES, I WILL, MOM, RIGHT NOW.

HEY. HEY.

[ SIGHS ]

IT FEELS LIKE WE HAVEN'T TALKED RECENTLY.

YOU KNOW, I HAVE BEEN SO BUSY WITH WORK,

AND I HAVE ANOTHER JOB COMING UP.

BUT LINDSAY CAN HANDLE THE WALK-THROUGH

AND ANY PROBLEMS THAT MIGHT HAPPEN.

IT WON'T TAKE LONG.

I-I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.

UM... OKAY, WHERE DO I START?

HI, MICHAEL. NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

AND YOU.

GRACE, I REALLYNEED THOSE BOXES.

WE DON'T WANT TO MESS UP WITH MY SYSTEM, NOW.

AND I'M SURE MICHAEL WILL UNDERSTAND,

IT BEING FOR CHARITY AND ALL.

I CAN, UH, HELP YOU.

OH, NO, NO. BILL CAN DO IT.

HE -- HE KNOWS THE ONES I NEED.

MOM...

I'LL GO GET THEM.

THANK YOU.

OKAY.

[ CHUCKLES ]

NOW IS NOT A GOOD TIME.

[ Laughing ] I GUESS NOT.

COULD WE TALK LATER? UM, YEAH. YEAH.

OKAY. IS THIS IT?

YEAH, DAD, THIS IS THE LAST BOX.

UH...

ARE YOU OKAY? I'M FINE.

'CAUSE YOUR MOM SAID THAT YOU'RE...

HAVING SOME TROUBLE.

MOM. THAT'S GREAT.

WELL, I'VE NEVER BEEN ALL THAT GREAT

AT GIVING YOU ADVICE, YOU KNOW?

NOT 'CAUSE I DON'T LOVE YOU -- YOU KNOW I DO --

BUT JUST IT'S BEEN MORE HER JURISDICTION.

RIGHT. I KNOW, DADDY.

I'M FINE. THANK YOU.

[ DOORBELL RINGS ]

SCOTT, HONEY, WOULD YOU GET THE DOOR, PLEASE?

YEAH.

TELL PHILLIP I'LL BE READY IN A MINUTE.

OKAY.

HEY, DID YOU TELL PHILLIP I'LL BE RIGHT DOWN?

NOPE.

WHY?

IT WASN'T PHILLIP.

[ EXHALES SHARPLY ] MICHAEL. HI.

WOW. YOU, UH, LOOK BEAUTIFUL.

OH, THANK YOU.

UM, NOW IS -- I-IT'S NOT A GOOD TIME.

I, UM... I HAVE PLANS WITH PHILLIP.

UM... CAN WE TALK TOMORROW?

UH, YOU KNOW, THIS -- THIS WON'T TAKE LONG.

I, UH, JUST THOUGHT I'D COME BY TO TELL YOU

THAT I...

I-I JUST CAME BY TO SAY GOODBYE.

[ EXHALES SHARPLY ]

I'M...I'M SORRY. I, UM --

I THOUGHT YOU WEREN'T LEAVING FOR A FEW DAYS.

ARE YOU ASKING ME TO STAY? [ CHUCKLES ]

NO, MICHAEL.

I --

HEY, MICHAEL.

HEY.

GOOD TO SEE YOU.

GOOD TO SEE YOU, TOO, PHILLIP.

THE TWO OF YOU LOOKED PRETTY SERIOUS JUST NOW.

EVERYTHING OKAY WITH THE HOTEL?

IT'S GREAT. OH, NO. IT'S JUST FINE.

LOOK, MICHAEL,

GRACE AND I WERE JUST ABOUT TO GRAB SOME DINNER.

WOULD YOU, UH, LIKE TO JOIN US?

NO, NO.

THANK YOU. THAT'S VERY NICE.

BUT, UM, I'LL HAVE TO TAKE A RAIN CHECK.

OH, AND, YEAH, THERE ARE ALREADY FIRES FOR ME

TO PUT OUT ON THE NEW CONSTRUCTION SITE,

SO I REALLY SHOULD LEAVE.

WELL, IF THE JOB YOU TWO DID ON THE HOTEL IN TOWN

IS ANY INDICATION,

THIS NEXT ONE'S IN GOOD HANDS, FOR SURE.

IT'S ONLY TOO BAD

THAT GRACE CAN'T HELP ON THE REMODEL ON THIS ONE.

YEAH, IT IS.

SHE WAS AMAZING.

IT WAS ALL -- ALL GRACE.

PHILLIP, PLEASURE TO MEET YOU.

YOU TOO.

AND AGAIN...GRACE...

...THANK YOU...

...FOR EVERYTHING.

I'M GONNA GO GET MY COAT.

YEAH. [ CLEARS THROAT ]

[ SIGHS ]

YOU'VE BEEN AWFULLY QUIET TONIGHT.

OH, I'M SORRY, PHILLIP.

I THINK, UM...

I THINK THE LAST FEW WEEKS HAVE CAUGHT UP WITH ME.

IT'S NOTHING THAT A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP WON'T FIX.

I'M NOT SO SURE ABOUT THAT.

NOT SO SURE ABOUT WHAT?

I'M NOT SO SURE

WHAT'S TROUBLING YOU CAN BE FIXED BY SLEEPING.

I THINK IT'S MORE THAN THAT.

NO, PHILLIP. I, UM --

LISTEN TO ME FOR A MINUTE, GRACE.

I LIKE YOU.

I REALLY DO.

I MEAN, WE SPEND SATURDAY NIGHT MOVIES TOGETHER,

AND CHINESE TAKEOUT ON TUESDAY,

SO, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT,

WE'VE BEEN REALLY GREAT FRIENDS.

AND I'M NOT SAYING THAT'S A BAD THING, GRACE,

BECAUSE IT'S NOT.

IT'S JUST...

I'D ALWAYS HOPED IT WOULD TURN INTO SOMETHING MORE.

OH, PHILLIP, THERE'S NOTHING GOING ON BETWEEN MICHAEL AND I.

I MEAN, THERE WAS 20 YEARS AGO,

BUT THERE'S NOTHING GOING ON NOW.

WELL, I'M TELLING YOU, THERE SHOULDBE, GRACE.

AND I DON'T WANT YOU TO FEEL BAD ABOUT THIS.

PEOPLE COME AND GO IN EACH OTHER'S LIVES

ALL THE TIME.

I JUST THINK...

IT'S TIME WE MOVE ON AS FRIENDS.

ARE YOU SURE?

GRACE, YOU DON'T LOOK AT ME THE WAY YOU LOOK AT MICHAEL.

IF YOU COULD SEE WHAT I SEE

WHEN THE TWO OF YOU ARE IN THE SAME ROOM.

IT'S LIKE... IT'S LIKE NO ONE ELSE EXISTS.

THANK YOU, PHILLIP.

BE HAPPY, GRACE.

OH. HI, JAMES.

OH, HEY. I'M JUST MOVING INTO MY NEW OFFICE.

I DON'T OFFICIALLY START UNTIL TOMORROW.

OH, YEAH. CONGRATULATIONS.

LINDSAY TOLD ME, AND SHE IS -- SHE'S REALLY HAPPY.

THAT MAKES TWO OF US.

I'M ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR MICHAEL.

I'VE GOT TO TALK TO HIM.

HE ACTUALLY LEFT ALREADY, GRACE.

HE TIED UP ALL HIS LOOSE ENDS LAST NIGHT,

TOOK THE FIRST FLIGHT OUT THIS MORNING.

DO YOU WANT ME TO TAKE A MESSAGE IF I TALK TO HIM?

NO.

THAT'S OKAY.

IT, UH --

IT WASN'T IMPORTANT ANYWAY.

THANKS.

[ Crying ] I FEEL LIKE I DID 20 YEARS AGO.

WELL, PERHAPS IF YOU CALLED PHILLIP

AND YOU TOLD HIM HOW YOU FEEL --

OH, MOM, THIS IS NOT ABOUT PHILLIP!

THIS IS ABOUT MICHAEL.

OH, HONESTLY, GRACE,

I HAVEN'T A CLUE AS TO WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

I THOUGHT PHILLIP BROKE UP WITH YOU LAST NIGHT.

HE DID.

BUT I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO STOP HIM,

BECAUSE HE WAS RIGHT.

HE WAS RIGHT THAT -- THAT I'M IN LOVE WITH MICHAEL,

THAT I ALWAYS HAVE BEEN.

OH.

I KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE HIM. I KNOW YOU'VE NEVER APPROVED --

NOW, NOW, NOW, HOLD ON. HOLD ON A SECOND.

I HAVE NOTHINGAGAINST MICHAEL, AND I NEVER HAVE.

THE PROBLEM I HAD WAS THE RELATIONSHIP IN GENERAL

THAT YOU TWO HAD.

YOU WERE ENTIRELY TOO YOUNG TO BE THAT SERIOUS.

[ SIGHS ]

AND AS FOR NOW -- WELL, AS OF LAST NIGHT,

YOU WERE INVOLVED WITH SOMEONE ELSE.

AND I-I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO MAKE A HASTY DECISION.

IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYWAY.

I WENT TO GO AND TALK TO HIM FIRST THING THIS MORNING.

HE WAS ALREADY GONE.

OH.

WELL, I KNOW YOU DON'T WANT TO THINK THIS ABOUT MICHAEL,

BUT MAYBE IT WAS JUST A WAY FOR HIM TO PASS THE TIME

WHILE HE WAS HERE.

MOM, HE ASKED ME IF I WANTED HIM TO STAY,

AND I DIDN'T ANSWER HIM.

HE DIDN'T HOLD ME BACK 20 YEARS AGO, AND...

I DIDN'T WANT TO BE THE REASON TO HOLD HIM BACK 20 YEARS LATER.

WELL...

HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT CALLING HIM?

NO. IF HE WANTED TO TALK TO ME, HE WOULD CALL ME.

AND IF HE WANTED TO STAY, HE WOULDN'T HAVE LEFT TOWN.

GRACE, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW OLD YOU SOUND?

I KNOW IT SOUNDS SO CRAZY,

US BEING TOGETHER AFTER ALL THESE YEARS,

BUT...

BUT I LOVE HIM.

I REALLY DO.

AND NOW IT'S TOO LATE.

OH, NO.

IT'S NEVER TOO LATE WHEN IT'S LOVE, GRACE -- NEVER.

[ SOBS ]

YOU COMING TO BED? OH, IN A MINUTE.

I HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF SOMETHING FIRST.

I DON'T LIKE IT WHEN YOU GET ALL QUIET, MARY ANDERSON.

IT USUALLY MEANS YOU'RE UP TO NO GOOD.

OH, HUSH, BILL. I'LL BE UP IN A MINUTE.

YOU GO ON. GO ON, GO ON.

516-555-1968.

[ Rings ]

Michael: Hi. This is Michael. Please leave me a message.

[ Beep ]

MICHAEL? THIS IS MARY, GRACE'S MOTHER.

UH, I GOT YOUR NUMBER FROM GRACE'S CELLPHONE --

NOT THAT SHE KNOWS I'M CALLING, HOWEVER.

UM...I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M SAYING THIS AFTER ALL THESE YEARS,

BUT YOU SHOULD KNOW

THAT YOU ARE THE ONE GRACE LOVED 20 YEARS AGO,

AND YOU ARE STILL THE ONE SHE LOVES TODAY.

MARY, WHAT ARE YOU UP TO?

OKAY? THAT SHOULD DO IT. YOU HAVE BEEN INFORMED.

YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT WITH THE INFORMATION.

[ SIGHS ] BYE-BYE.

OH, I'M EXHAUSTED.

WHAT A DAY. WHEW.

LINDSAY?

DID THE ANDERSON JOB CALL

TO CONFIRM THE MEETING FOR WEDNESDAY?

YEP. WEDNESDAY'S A GO.

BUT BEFORE YOU START THINKING ABOUT THE ANDERSON JOB,

YOU SHOULD HAVE A MEETING WITH SOMEONE ELSE FIRST.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

HE'S IN YOUR OFFICE NOW.

[ SIGHS ] OKAY.

MICHAEL.

HI.

UM...

[ CHUCKLES ]

IT'S BEEN OVER 20 YEARS SINCE WE FIRST MET,

AND...

I HAVE NEVER FELT SO STRONGLY ABOUT ANYBODY

BEFORE THAT MOMENT.

AND I KNOW A LOT OF TIME HAS PASSED BETWEEN US.

BUT RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW,

I CAN SAY WITH ALL THE CONFIDENCE IN THE WORLD...

THAT I STILL FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT YOU.

I HAVE WAITED MY ENTIRE LIFE FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU.

AND HERE YOU ARE -- AGAIN.

AND I WOULD LIKE NOTHING MORE

THAN TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH YOU.

GRACE ANDERSON, I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING.

I ALWAYS HAVE.

AND I ALWAYS WILL.

SO, WILL YOU MAKE ME THE HAPPIEST MAN ON EARTH

AND MARRY ME?

[ GASPS ]

[ LAUGHS ]

YES.

OH, MICHAEL, YES.

YES, I WILL MARRY YOU.

[ APPLAUSE ]

Woman: WHOO!

Michael: EVERYONE SAYS YOUNG LOVE

DOESN'T STAND A CHANCE WHEN YOU GROW UP.

Grace: I'VE OFTEN WONDERED OVER THE YEARS

WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED.

SOMETIMES I WONDER...

...IF THERE WAS A MOMENT IN TIME

WHERE PAST AND PRESENT COLLIDE.

THERE HASN'T BEEN ONE DAY THAT HAS GONE BY...

...THAT WE HAVEN'T LOOKED AT EACH OTHER AND SMILED.

BECAUSE NOW WE KNOW.

WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENS...

Both: WHEN PAST AND PRESENT COLLIDE.
