♪ It's all a mystery, the wait and see ♪

♪ Which way the wind will blow ♪

♪ But I know how much I love you ♪

♪ Yes, I know ♪

(GENTLE MUSIC)

NARRATOR: You heard that singing?

That was me, singing my favorite song, "Yes, I Know."

It's the song my wife and I fell in love to.

And these are some of the places where we fell in love.

New York is such a magical place.

You feel like anything can happen.

We fell in love in winter,

so it's my favorite time of the year.

I fell for the most beautiful woman I ever met, Barbara.

I'm the luckiest guy in the world.

Here's the place I sometimes work.

This is where I live.

And these are my best friends.

As you can see, they're glamorous.

These are my parents.

You know what those are like.

These are the people I care about.

They're special, just like New York.

This is my son Chris.

I'm proud of him.

And this is Barbara.

Isn't she something?

I'm James.

Oh, I forgot to say, we got divorced.

But I'm still in love with her, and I want her back.

I want her back bad.

Love, repeat.

Get it?

(GENTLE MUSIC)

(CELLPHONE CHIMES)

With dating, the main thing

you have to do is criticize her slightly

and compliment her immediately.

It confuses them, then they can't resist you.

And remember, we're both geeks, but with a sexy edge.

- (BELL CHIMES) - That's my boy.

(CLOCK TICKING)

Ho ho ho.

It really puts me in the holiday mood.

(CAMILLA CHUCKLES)

This place is fancy.

I've never been to a rare book room before.

You're in publishing?

And you work for a bank.

Yeah, I could never get a loan myself, though.

Bad credit.

Shh, I won't tell "Money Magazine."

Do you have children?

One. Leandra.

She's just like me.

She tells the truth, even when she shouldn't.

Oh, I wish she'd go into politics.

James, I hope you'll excuse me.

My sister tells me I have a lot of opinions.

She tells me you shouldn't judge people right away.

You should get to know them a few minutes.

And I have to tell you,

I don't find you attractive.

Physically.

Oh, that's okay.

I get that a lot.

(BELL TOLLING)

Really?

Yeah.

It's okay.

Okay.

Whew.

(CAMILLA LAUGHS)

- Yeah. - Sorry.

Yeah.

Yeah, you don't have to...

You can relax now.

- Okay. - We can just-

- Well, yeah.

Like read a book or something,

- if you feel like reading. - I don't really, like, read.

(BELL CHIMES)

NARRATOR: Aced that one.

But it's hard to compare anyone to Barbara.

She's sort of like Helen of Troy to me.

(GENTLE HARP MUSIC)

See what I mean?

It explains the Trojan War.

All right, sweet one,

Daddy will get you to school despite his existential angst.

Last minute rehearsal.

(BARBARA SIGHS)

Love you.

Thanks, James.

I can always count on you.

How are you doing?

Dad, I don't know how much longer

I can take this amicable divorce thing.

(GENTLE MUSIC)

♪ I know how much I love you ♪

♪ Yes, I know ♪

No, just no.

I'm sorry, Chad, I've let you down again.

You cannot be in love with your ex-wife.

That's got to stop now.

You're gonna take the Chad's Ladies Challenge.

Seven ladies in seven days.

You've already been on the first one.

Yeah, but will I survive the next six?

(GENTLE MUSIC)

(CLOCK TICKING)

Look at you.

James, just so handsome after all these years.

You were always just such a lovely, nice guy.

- Thank you, thank you. - Yeah.

And you were always a lovely lady.

Well, I'm kicking myself a little bit,

you know, that I didn't scoop you up back then.

We live and we learn.

Well, very nice of you to say.

And how is your business?

You have that...

No longer.

- No longer. - Oh.

It's okay. There was just a bit of an embezzlement issue.

Somebody embezzled in your company?

I did, and I was just, you know,

sorta stuck in the apartment for a bit,

but that is the past and we're here now.

You and I are here now.

So what's your schedule like these days?

(BELL CHIMES)

NARRATOR: Um.

(MELLOW MUSIC)

Barbara's dating Frank?

- Check. - And I've passed on

seven names to James.

Now, they can both move on.

How did we get so smart and sexy?

NARRATOR: My ex-wife is dating another man.

Well, I always like a challenge.

I don't know, Chad, maybe I'm no good at dating.

CHAD: Ugh! All you need is confidence, like me.

(CLOCK TICKING)

What do you do?

I write a blog, on relationships.

- Oh, wow. - Mm.

I'm an editor of literary fiction.

Oh, wow.

Tell me about your work.

Oh, well, my latest post was about

how men often expect women

to do all the work in a relationship.

They think, you know, women are just gonna make it happen.

But if they don't step up to the plate,

they could wind up losing the love of their life.

Have you ever experienced that?

Oh, and this isn't happening.

NARRATOR: Sometimes, when life gets too complicated,

I take long walks.

Do you ever do that?

I go back to places Barbara and I went together,

the top of the Empire State Building,

a boat ride around Manhattan,

that little French restaurant in the village we both love.

But remembering isn't gonna bring her back.

My question is, what will?

Oh, thank goodness you've come.

- What's wrong? - Where is my suitcase?

It's on the top shelf

- behind the blankets. - What happened?

Your father is moving out.

- What? - Are you sure you didn't

- throw it out? - I'm not demented, yet!

Your father has decided

that he isn't getting what he needs with me,

that maybe there's another woman out there

that's better for him.

- Well, good luck to him. - What are you talking about?

Nothing.

Nothing. It's time you found another woman.

(DOG BARKING)

Well, go!

Oh, you've got it.

(GLASS CRASHES)

(PILLOW THUDS)

I was only flirting with that sales girl.

Why did I ever marry you?

I must have lost my mind!

Because I make life interesting for you, Lavanya.

You wouldn't want me to be like James, would you?

Who wants reliable?

I would.

You're having an affair!

Lavanya, I could never cheat on you.

Besides, that sales girl had slightly crooked teeth.

I'm like Barbara.

I want a divorce.

(PILLOW THUDS)

NARRATOR: My parents are separating,

my best friends are breaking up.

(CELLPHONE CHIMES)

Nice of them to remind me.

It all makes me remember my own divorce.

"Go to the library if you want more"?

More.

A scavenger hunt.

This is fun!

Wait, okay.

J.

Yeah.

K.

Getting it.

- L. - Uh-huh.

Oh!

(BARBARA CHUCKLES)

"Great Literary Editors of the 19th Century Volume Two."

And it's signed by the author.

It's a first edition.

It completes our collection.

This is it?

Uh-huh.

For our 10th wedding anniversary?

Yeah.

Can't believe this, James,

this is what I've been talking about.

NARRATOR: What have I done wrong now?

BARBARA: Well, it's not just this.

I mean, last year, it was a gift certificate.

NARRATOR: She says I don't understand her.

And you're thinking that maybe somehow this is symbolic.

NARRATOR: She says I'm not in touch

- with my feelings. - "Why is she getting

so emotional?"

What's wrong with being rational?

NARRATOR: She's right.

Can't we just talk about it calmly?

When is love rational?

And, James, listen,

a wise man once said, "To love someone is to know them."

Do you remember this ring?

You gave it to me, when you asked me to get married.

When you're ready to know me, really know me,

give this ring back to me and we can start over.

JAMES: Barbara.

NARRATOR: And that's how it ended, with a simple word.

"Goodbye."

Time to move on,

even though that's the last thing I want to do.

Hi.

Thanks for having us over.

I'd like you to meet Frank.

NARRATOR: This is Frank.

Young, handsome, and rich.

I haven't got a chance.

Mom, I don't understand why you and Dad got divorced.

You match, like those little people

on top of the wedding cake.

First, our marriage worked and then it didn't.

Sometimes, even good people can't make it work.

I helped Dad get ready for a date, but I made a mistake.

That can happen to great minds.

You two belong together,

and I'm going to do something about it,

despite that Frank guy I've heard about.

(GENTLE MUSIC)

- Hi. - Hi.

I'm pregnant and I'm drinking.

Please don't judge.

(JENNY CHUCKLES)

(BELL CHIMES)

Well, the only person I judge is myself.

Aw.

(JENNY CHUCKLES)

I'm your new neighbor.

I met this cute guy, Chad, in the hallway,

and he said to introduce myself.

Don't worry, I'm single.

Is it just me, or do you smell an instant attraction here?

(JAMES LAUGHS) You can stop by anytime.

I work from home selling beauty products online,

and there's always an open bottle of Merlot,

and Adele on my playlist.

Oh, she's my favorite.

Mm. Mm.

Mm.

Chad said you have a son.

I am ready to babysit anytime.

I love kids.

Did I mention I'm pregnant?

♪ Hello ♪

(BELL CHIMES)

(CELLPHONE CHIMES)

NARRATOR: I got to get rid of this app.

(DOOR CLACKS)

JAMES: Come on in, Dad.

Make yourself at home.

Home?

This is not my home. I've got a sleeping bag.

I've got a football.

Oh, and a small room to boot.

It's all sinking in, all of those years of marriage.

And I'm moving in with my grown son.

What is wrong with me?

You're welcome to stay as long as you need to.

I don't want to be in the way.

You're not in the way.

Chris and I want you here.

We love you, Dad.

Thank you, son.

We'll need to talk about what to do

when I bring ladies home at night.

(PHILIP LAUGHS)

(MELLOW MUSIC)

I think I got you, son.

I think you're on the road to death.

Really? Really?

- Mm-hm. - You think that?

- Mm-hm. - Okay.

Well, what about this?

What do you say to that?

You play a passive game, son.

That just won't cut it.

Okay. All right.

In fact, you're living your love life

like it's a chess game.

If you want to win Barbara back, you've got to-

- Dad, she has a boyfriend.

Remember? Mr. Chiseled Jawline?

So he's handsome, in good shape,

has millions because he runs a hedge fund, so what?

You've got good qualities too.

I'm trying to remember my good qualities.

Look, imagine this, you're in a shotgun formation,

you drop back, take the snap, roll right,

toss a dart downfield to your wide receiver

who's running a post pattern,

he catches the ball in stride, and bingo, six points.

You follow?

Dad, football and I are not on speaking terms.

(PHILIP SIGHS)

Do you love her, James?

Yeah.

Do you want her back?

Yeah.

Then get off your duff.

Make Barbara jealous,

then she'll come running back to you.

Right, that always works.

Now that Lavanya's gone,

I'm gonna have to start dating again.

What are you wearing?

We've got to give you a man makeover.

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

What, are you going to a costume party?

It's almost Christmas.

Halloween was two months ago.

Thanks for the confidence-building,

and thanks for getting together again.

I always did have a self-destructive streak.

So what do you want to do?

So how's yours?

Romantic and uplifting.

How's yours?

Otherworldly.

Takes me to another place.

And this is still not happening.

(GENTLE PIANO MUSIC)

(CELLPHONE BUZZING)

- Hey. - Hi.

Sorry to bother you at work.

That's okay.

- Do you have a second? - Something wrong?

BARBARA: Well, yeah, we need a new babysitter.

Olga is pregnant.

Again?

Okay, it's my turn.

You found the last one.

BARBARA: Maybe this one could be a nice gay guy?

Oh, okay.

Time to call Manly Mannies.

BARBARA: I know it's a stereotype,

but often gay men can express their feelings.

Oh, right, the famous feelings.

Well, I'm still searching for mine.

BARBARA: And it wouldn't hurt, James,

I mean, Chris to learn a little compassion.

What exactly are you trying to say here?

BARBARA: You know what I mean.

Yeah, I do.

Unfortunately, I do know what you mean.

- I do. - Sorry for the slip-up.

- I just, I'm- - That's okay.

BARBARA: Sort of in a hurry and-

- Well, you know, I was hoping we could talk for a minute.

BARBARA: I got to go.

But listen, I'll see you on Saturday, right?

- Okay. - Can I pick Chris up at six?

Yeah, yeah. That's good.

That's good.

- Thank you, James. - Okay, sure.

Sure. Maybe we can talk again later.

BARBARA: Yes, we will definitely talk again later.

- Okay. - Okay.

BOTH: Okay.

- Bye. - Bye.

(TONE BEEPING)

(DOORBELL RINGS)

Hi, I'm Donny.

Your Manly Manny?

Come on in.

Just curious, how do you identify?

Gay.

Uh-huh.

And/or fluid.

Fluid. You mean, like, hydrated?

Right.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Chris is 11, smart, and a little sarcastic.

Then Chris and I will get along great.

(GAME BEEPING)

What's your favorite sport?

Basketball.

Book?

"The Underground Railroad."

Do you like girls?

Yes.

I can tell, you've never babysat before.

Just my brothers.

I need the money while I'm in school.

What are you studying?

Early medieval religious history

with an emphasis on Francis of Assisi.

Cool.

I won't tell Dad that you don't have a clue

about babysitting or life.

(GENTLE MUSIC)

NARRATOR: My new blog writing friend told me

I need an action plan to get Barbara back.

I need to try something I've never done before.

Maybe expressing my feelings?

I know you're on deadline, hence deadline food.

I actually didn't have time to eat today, so thank you.

Oh, and thank you for getting the new babysitter.

Does he seem sensitive and artistic?

Abundantly.

That's what the world needs.

What's that?

Flowers.

You've never given me flowers before.

Camilla called.

Ooh, I love women chasing men, it's so zesty.

I'm still in love with Barbara.

James, don't let love interfere with romance.

JAMES: You called.

I did.

You actually called.

I did.

I was surprised when you called.

Were you really?

I was surprised.

Why?

I wasn't sure...

I thought you didn't like me.

No, I like you fine.

I just don't find you sexy.

Ah.

Apparently, my ex-wife agrees with you.

You're not supposed to talk about past relationships

until the third date.

JAMES: This is a date?

I decided I should give guys who read a chance.

(CAMILLA CHUCKLES)

I'm trying to focus on what's most important.

JAMES: What's that?

(CLOCK TICKING)

A man who is solvent, who won't cheat on me,

and who I can depend on in any situation.

Basically, I'm looking for a man who's boring.

You're perfect.

Maybe I'm no good at relationships.

Oh, I'm not looking for a relationship.

I'm looking for a husband.

Mm-hm.

Mm-hm.

I can work with that.

Ugh, men are such children.

(BARBARA SIGHS)

Seriously, they're like little Peter Pans skipping around

in their little green tights.

(BARBARA LAUGHS)

I mean, don't they realize that eventually

we're all going to die?

I don't think they do.

Exactly.

The male ego is so fragile, it's exhausting.

(BARBARA CHUCKLES)

Chad thinks that if he dates a younger woman,

he'll magically become her age.

James's father too.

Hm.

Now it's different when women date younger, we live longer.

It makes evolutionary sense for us to date younger men.

I didn't go after Frank.

He came after me.

Of course.

He's an intelligent, gorgeous,

sexy hunk of a man.

My god, in those photos, his abs look like the Himalayas,

all those peaks and valleys. (BARBARA CHUCKLES)

(LAVANYA MOANS)

Tell me, what's he like in the bedroom?

Mm-hm.

And that's all I needed to know.

(BARBARA LAUGHS)

(GENTLE MUSIC)

Frank helped me out with my math homework the other day.

Are you going to keep dating him?

Do you like him?

He's okay.

While Frank was watching me, Dad tried to have a date.

Oh?

It was pretty much like his cooking

from what I could tell.

What does that mean?

Mom, we both know what that means.

(BOTH CHUCKLING)

(GENTLE MUSIC)

NARRATOR: New York is my kind of town.

Mine.

I know eight million people feel the same way.

All these impressive buildings,

all this energy,

all these diverse and fascinating people,

it's like nowhere else.

So why is it harder for people

to stay together here than anywhere else?

You're hot.

You're hotter.

Then I guess we're an impossibly hot couple.

People probably hate us for showing off.

Hey.

I feel silly for bringing this up...

What?

I was cleaning out the closet and I found a bra.

We talked about this.

I'm bi, I'm fluid.

Whatever I am,

- that's what I am. - Or is that just your way

of sleeping with more people?

How do you think this makes me feel?

(DONNY SIGHS)

Jay.

Jay, listen to me, it's not that I-

- I'm listening,

and what I hear you saying is "I don't know who I am."

Jay.

Jay!

How was your day?

Good.

What'd you do?

Just hung out with Mom.

Oh, okay. How's she doing?

Good.

Okay.

(DISHWARE CLATTERING) (WATER SPLASHES)

I was just wondering...

Uh-huh?

Why do people fall in love?

Oh.

Well, all kinds of reasons.

There are different theories about it.

What do you think?

Well, I think people are looking

to find meaning in their lives,

and falling in love is one of the best ways to do that.

Why do people fall out of love?

All kinds of reasons and, often, it's nobody's fault.

You and Mom, Grandma and Grandpa, does everybody break up?

Maybe love isn't worth it.

It is worth it, Chris.

It'll happen for you someday.

Dad, I love you.

I love you too, Chris.

And I promise I'm never going to fall out of love with you,

no matter what happens.

Okay?

(GENTLE MUSIC)

Thanks for calling, Barbara.

I've missed you.

I've wanted to know how you are.

(PHILIP CHUCKLES)

How's the single life?

(BOTH CHUCKLING)

Wonderful.

Great.

How's Amanda?

She says she's all right.

You know, I've been thinking,

we got married just out of college.

We had James.

Life happened really fast.

We've been together our whole lives.

It's been good, mostly.

But I keep thinking about

what if I had made different choices along the road?

I can't help wondering if maybe I've missed out in some way.

Or maybe you have something everyone else wants.

Philip said I could get rid of things in his closet.

Maybe James or you could use some of these.

Thanks.

James will be home soon.

I don't know you very well, Donny,

but you seem like a very nice young man, so does Jay.

Do you fight much?

Not so far.

I mean, we have some stuff we're working out,

but we're gonna be fine, I think.

Neither of us have any money, but we have each other.

Mostly, we feel very lucky.

I'm happy for you both.

It's funny, Phillip and I have everything

they tell you to have, a bank account for emergencies,

plenty of money put away for retirement, a nice apartment.

We're set.

So why don't I feel lucky?

(GENTLE MUSIC)

Not even jewelry, diamonds, emeralds, anything?

You call this a reconciliation?

But I bought you expensive chocolates.

With a note that says,

"To Chad, with much love.

From Haley, your little girl in the maroon linen jumpsuit.

XOXO."

Did you write that?

That's so sweet.

I don't want your girlfriend's chocolates!

- (BOX THUDS) - She admires me from afar.

How far?

Lavanya, as you know,

I come from a very privileged family,

albeit it was also strangely disadvantaged.

I never got enough attention.

Where are you going with this?

I get lonely, Lavanya.

While both of us have a myriad

of other central opportunities-

- We do.

We're both comparatively young

and undeniably attractive.

Well, not everything you say is a lie.

Irregardless of whatever

mistakes either one of us have made,

I do feel it's best that we're together.

If anything, when we have children,

they'll be very, very good-looking.

Huh?

Hm?

What?

You want children?

Do I?

I just assumed you did.

Oh, god.

So typical.

(GENTLE MUSIC)

NARRATOR: Manhattan is an island, just like me.

Both of us have energy and activities swirling around us.

Times Square is the heart of New York,

but its heart is cold like mine.

But how do we get it warm?

By letting someone in?

Or by letting something out?

(BELL CHIMES)

CAMILLA: This is my daughter Leandra.

Nice to meet you.

(SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

She's beautiful.

CAMILLA: I don't have any childcare today.

My daddy's a really hot dude.

(CAMILLA SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

(LEANDRA SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

I'm not really a dude.

We know. James, it's painfully obvious.

(LEANDRA SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

(CAMILLA SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

James, I've been thinking...

Oh.

Why do I feel dubious?

I've gotten used to your lack of steaming passion.

Thank you.

I think we should become exclusive.

(LEANDRA SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Ignore her.

Camilla, I have to tell you,

I think I'm still in love with my ex-wife.

Well, that's never gonna work out.

She's way too classy.

You should stick with Leandra and me.

We'll work with your shortcomings.

(CAMILLA SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

(LEANDRA SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Adults, right?

They can't help it.

They just don't know what they're doing.

Tell me about it.

You want to go on a date?

There's a walking tour of Upper Manhattan

where they study different rock formations.

Tempting, but since our parents are dating,

wouldn't that make things interpersonally complex?

(GENTLE MUSIC)

How long did Dad say he was gonna be gone?

Two hours.

Your babysitter had a love crisis.

God, I can relate.

You look like you've had a lot of those.

Look, kid, this can be a pleasant experience

or an unpleasant one.

And remember, your father is most likely going to believe

my version of the story, so which one's it gonna be?

Jay and I had a bad fight.

What if he can't accept everything that I am?

I don't know if I can accept myself.

Jay's a lucky guy.

Sometimes, life sucks.

Yeah.

Sometimes, life sucks.

FRANK: How was your day?

Good.

You know, working on living in the moment.

Wow.

I love those yoga pants, and I love you.

Frank.

Seriously.

I love you.

And I love you.

Wow.

First time saying that. (BARBARA CHUCKLES)

Well, it's a big step.

(FRANK CHUCKLES)

Speaking of living in the moment,

why don't we get married?

What?

When are we tying the knot?

Now.

Today?

(BARBARA CHUCKLES)

This weekend.

- Frank. - Hm?

You just proposed to me in the bathroom.

I didn't plan on it.

I can see that.

Sorry.

(BARBARA CHUCKLES)

I heard Barbara's engaged.

Sorry, guy.

I thought you wanted me to be a player like you.

Oh, it's exciting, sure, but it's a lonely game, James.

How's your dad's love life?

Well, he keeps claiming he wants to start dating.

Go, Dad.

But mostly, he watches football

and thinks about calling Mother.

It's harder for her.

Woo!

I'm loving the single life!

She's a delicate flower.

Well, with this separation,

she's going to need time to heal.

I might sell everything I own and move to Alaska.

Yeah.

Set up my own human genome testing service.

How hard could it be?

I wouldn't be surprised if she delves deeper

into her religious faith.

♪ O'er the land of the free ♪

♪ And the home of the brave ♪

Yeah.

(SIRENS WAILING)

Mom?

(GENTLE MUSIC)

It's all gonna be okay.

There's a letter in the top drawer of my desk.

It tells you everything I want.

Mom, try not to talk.

(AMANDA SIGHS)

I have just one regret in life.

When I was young, I didn't know I was beautiful.

Maybe if I'd known that, my life would have been different.

Don't live the way I did, James.

Live with your heart open.

I love you, Mom.

I love you too, son.

The doctor says all your tests came back negative.

You were dehydrated.

You're going to be fine.

Shit.

Why do you have to ruin everything?

This was supposed to be my death scene.

(GENTLE MUSIC)

(CELLPHONE CLICKING)

(TONE RINGING)

(CELLPHONE RINGING)

Hello?

Hello?

(TONE BEEPING)

(PHILIP GROANS)

Okay.

Do you want me to zip you up?

It's okay, I got it.

Mm.

What?

You don't like my dress?

You look beautiful.

Thanks for doing this.

Frank hates these things.

Plus, he had to work late on that deal

he's putting together.

Oh, is my hair coming down?

No.

I dropped Chris off at your mother's.

And Dad's staying with Uncle Jeff in Albany.

So we don't have to worry about how late we stay.

All the donors are going to be pretty mature,

but the food is gonna be great,

and there's dancing and a band.

Who knows, we might even have fun.

Are you up for dancing?

You know that was never my long suit.

I feel like I'm in middle school.

Oh!

Come on, it's simple.

Come here.

(BARBARA LAUGHS)

Nice cologne.

Thanks.

Frank gave it to me.

So there are many different kinds of steps.

Mm-hm.

But what you really have to do is just shift your weight

back and forth from foot to foot.

Okay.

You can try it.

(BARBARA LAUGHS)

And this is the arm that you use to sorta guide me-

- Mm-hm. - 'Cause you're leading.

Who's that singing?

Oh, that's the Merlot woman down the hall.

Oh, (BARBARA CHUCKLES) her.

♪ It's all a mystery ♪

She's singing our song.

Chris taught it to her.

Hey, look, you're dancing.

Right.

Nothing to it.

James.

(JAMES YELPS)

Chris is waiting for you to take him to school.

(BARBARA GASPS)

(JAMES SIGHS)

(JAMES SIGHS)

That's a nice dress.

What's Chris gonna think?

He's gonna think his parents slept together.

Well, did you?

We had a lot to drink.

I don't remember.

In my day, you knew when you slept with a man.

(BARBARA SIGHS)

Barbara, I've always liked you, as much as I like anyone,

but your divorce wasn't all about James.

What do you mean?

I know James has trouble being in touch with his feelings.

(BARBARA SIGHS) Look at his mother.

But are you really so in touch with yours?

What exactly do you feel this morning?

(ELEGANT VIOLIN MUSIC)

(BARBARA SIGHS)

Well, so what are you gonna do?

I don't know.

Do you have any suggestions?

Sandra.

- (FRANK SIGHS) - Did you miss me?

(FRANK SIGHS)

I'm sorry.

I'm with Barbara now.

Lucky woman.

(FRANK SIGHS)

This doesn't happen to me.

No one leaves me.

I'm not trying to hurt you,

and I hope we can still be friends.

Have you forgotten how good we are?

But I'm in love with someone else.

Are you sure?

(FRANK SIGHS)

BARBARA: Ooh.

Everything okay?

You two are getting married tomorrow.

Ah, the twists and turns of fate, it's really moving.

CHAD: Hey, guys.

Speaking of twists and turns.

Chad.

You've returned.

Lavanya, love of my life.

Kneeling with roses?

You've done that already.

Will you please forgive my wayward ways and take me back?

I promise to have eyes for you and only you.

Mm.

What?

I'm thinking.

(GENTLE MUSIC)

Oh, all right.

Mm.

- Mm. - Mm-mm-mm.

(GENTLE KNOCKING)

What do you think?

Zane is the top wedding wizard in New York.

This dress was featured in "Vogue" last month.

I hope that doesn't mean too many women

will be wearing it.

Oh, very few women have your good taste.

Did I miss something?

I don't remember becoming engaged.

I remember how shy you are, and you forgot to ask,

so I'm prompting you.

This is one option for headgear.

Should I be seeing this?

Isn't that bad luck?

Oh, that's an old wives tale, darling.

I want you to be happy with how I look on our special day.

And here is another choice.

Can you see me under here?

- (CAMILLA LAUGHS) - You look fabulous.

You look beautiful.

(CAMILLA LAUGHS)

I'm so happy.

Don't worry, I know that Chris and Leandra will get along

just fine as stepkids.

We'll be one big, somehow functional family.

I will remember this day forever.

It's the best day of my life.

(CAMILLA LAUGHS)

Oh, my god.

I'm very excited.

Oh, god, Zane, I am so happy you're here.

- Absolutely. - Oh, god, happy, happy!

(ALL LAUGHING)

- Oh. - Okay.

Mm.

(JAMES CHUCKLES) (CAMILLA SIGHS)

Thank you.

ZANE: I should go.

- Okay. - All right, darling?

All right, baby. All right.

I'm gonna leave this with you.

- Oh, yes, we have to choose. - All right.

Okay.

All right.

(CAMILLA SIGHS)

- I think we should- - Camilla.

You are a lovely, lovely...

I can't tell you what a lovely woman you are.

You know, maybe this isn't a good time.

What?

You know, timing.

I read somewhere timing is everything.

We should time it, time it so it's really good.

You might want to, you know, get out of...

Is that returnable?

(GENTLE MUSIC)

(GENTLE KNOCKING)

Oh, hi. (JENNY SIGHS)

I saw Camilla running down the street,

sobbing in a wedding dress.

Yeah, we broke up.

Yeah, I kinda figured.

So you're on the market again.

You're selling, I'm buying.

Yeah, but I'm thinking of taking a break from dating,

maybe permanently.

Oh, what a loss.

Yeah, I've got the guys

- coming over. - And Barbara's getting

- married tomorrow. - Yeah, yeah.

- We're having a party. - I mean, like, in 12 hours.

She asked me to invite you to the wedding.

- Really? - Yeah.

Oh, I should say I'm busy, but I'd love to go.

Where's she getting married?

The Colonial Dames.

- Ooh, fancy. - Yeah.

- Fancy. - That historic organization,

they rent their clubhouse.

Yeah, I've heard them.

Very cool.

It's tomorrow?

OMG.

- Yes. - What to wear, what to wear?

Barbara does not waste time.

I respect that.

Still, this must be really not easy for you.

Mm.

Jenny.

Jenny, I've got the guys coming over.

They're coming over for a party.

Jenny?

NARRATOR: This is gonna be the most epic party ever.

- Thank you. - All right, gentlemen,

keep it down, keep it down, keep it down.

Frank is having his bachelor party,

so I thought we should have our own party.

Gentlemen, a toast.

Uh-huh.

To my best friend James, the ultimate good loser.

Hear, hear!

PHILIP AND CHRIS: To the good loser!

There you go, James!

You've got to break out tonight, kid.

You're gonna get a chance.

You're gonna get...

Oh, you're gonna get a chance too.

Music!

"YMCA" or "Macarena"?

Neither, my friend.

We are gonna bust out our best hip hop.

All right, all right, all-

(CHAD GRUNTS) Wow!

- Good going, Chris! - All right, guys.

And two.

And three.

And four. And then hips.

Yes, James.

Come on.

Do your hips move at all, James?

I don't know.

Can you feel it?

- Feel it with me. - Feel it, James.

- Feel it, James. - Uh-huh, uh-huh.

It's a coming out party.

Show that music, that excitement.

- Move it, man. - You got it, Dad.

Oh, good going, James.

Get that jacket off.

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

Ah, got it!

You got it! Oh, yeah!

- Yeah. - James, let's show it.

Let's show it.

All right, James, you're up.

Move it on up.

- Oh, yes! - Oh!

Oh, your dancing looks great!

Oh!

The topper, the topper, the topper!

Chad, oh, wow! Oh!

(PHILIP LAUGHS)

Oh, geez.

All right.

(CHRIS GROANS)

Tonight was one of the trials on your hero's journey.

You've come through the fire

and now you're one step closer to the goal

of achieving raised consciousness and your full manhood.

You're almost there.

Then, you can attain life's highest purpose.

What's that?

(JAMES SIGHS)

The heck if I know.

My mother taught me

that I have to live with my heart open.

And your mother said to me

that to love someone is to know them.

You got to call your mother on the phone

and tell her to meet me on the roof.

Dad, what are you talking about?

I think you've had a little bit too much to drink.

JAMES: I'm going.

Oh, god.

(GENTLE MUSIC)

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

CHRIS: Mom, come quickly.

Dad's going to the roof.

I didn't know what to think.

Barbara.

You came.

You came. This is for you.

- Why'd you do all this? - It's lights.

- Why? - Lights like a wedding cake

because we came up here so many times,

and I wanted you to have this beautiful night one more time

before you get married tomorrow.

Yes, tomorrow.

And I see, I see,

- and I know you see and know- - James, this is crazy!

And I see and I know, and see all

- They know- - It's too late.

No.

No.

(JAMES PANTING)

(FOOTSTEPS PATTERING)

Yes, I knew it.

I knew you two were going to get back together.

I'm sorry, Chris,

your mother and I are never gonna be together.

But you and Mom just kissed.

That was a kiss goodbye.

- This is your fault, Dad! - Chris, stop it.

How come I'm more

It's time you grew up

so you have time to live before you die.

NARRATOR: New York has a special kind of winter.

It snows, then melts, then snows again,

all in the same day.

After last night, I melted.

I'm finally open.

And the irony is Barbara's about to marry someone else.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

Hello, Zane.

What are you doing here?

Studying how not to do a wedding.

NARRATOR: Apparently, a wedding means

dueling wedding planners.

Philip and I are back together.

He lost his mind all over again.

(DONNY CHUCKLES)

Mrs. Anderson, what a beautiful space.

What a beautiful day.

Weddings always make me cry.

Thank goodness Lavanya's forgiven me.

Now, all we have to do

is survive the rest of our lives together.

I'm glad you could make it as my date.

How's your mom?

She's already picked out her next husband.

The most important thing is to be with the person

who makes your heart sing.

Amanda's my gal.

Is this wedding giving you any ideas?

I do.

(GENTLE MUSIC)

What are you feeling, Barbara?

I'm really not sure.

I'm sure you heard about my deathbed speech.

I'd take my advice if I were you.

Mom, I wanted to tell you I won't hate you

for the rest of your life from marrying Frank.

I see he's actually an okay guy.

That's very nice of you, Chris.

I'm remarkably mature for my age.

(BARBARA CHUCKLES)

CANDICE: Everyone, come into the dining room!

Oh. Candice!

- I just- - We're starting

to get smitten!

But...

Candice?

Oh.

(DOOR SQUEAKS)

Is that Sandra?

She's very pretty.

And even more importantly, I realize she's my best friend,

like you and James.

(FRANK SIGHS)

What are we gonna say,

about not going through with it?

The truth.

Lady has class.

Something wrong?

I seem to have lost the groom.

Let's find somewhere quiet.

(GENTLE MUSIC)

I'm a little overdressed if I'm not getting married.

You look beautiful.

Thank you.

I'm grateful.

For what?

For our sassy son and our quirky families.

And our unique friends.

And for being best friends for life.

(GENTLE MUSIC)

You said that we could start again

when I understood that to love you is to know you.

James, have you been carrying this

with you this whole time?

Yes.

I carry your heart.

And I'll carry yours.

(FOOTSTEPS PATTERING)

(BARBARA LAUGHS)

I'm confused.

What happened to the hedge fund guy?

Are Barbara and James really getting married again?

I think they were always married.

Ah.

(ALL LAUGHING)

Look at all of you guys.

NARRATOR: Well, there may be

happily ever after after all.

You can find happiness the second time around,

and with the same person.

The world is often a crazy place.

Love is the one thing that makes sense,

especially if you love and love again.

Love, repeat.
