But it wasn't hard to Spot the warning signs,

Like when she said,

"Terry, I never want To see you again."

Steven, don't we know

Some single girls for terry?

Well, to be honest with you, I Am kind of gun-shy these days.

It's going to take me a while Before I'm ready to start dating.

It'd probably kill me.

Well, glad I could Cheer you both up.

Look, I got a lot of Work to do. I better go.

I'll call you tomorrow elyse.

Ok, bye-bye, terry. Bye-bye.

Steven...

No, elyse.

Another person's love life.

Oh, I do not.

Oh, no? Remember when

You kept trying to find A date for nelson ross?

I thought he should Have a girlfriend.

He's a priest.

Not anymore.

I don't think it's a good idea

To interfere in a Man's personal life.

Steven, I hate to See terry so lonely.

I would love to introduce Him to someone nice.

I think you should Stay out of it.

How about mrs. Obeck's daughter, liz?

Of crushing their spirits,

Of leaving them to Pick up the pieces

Of their broken, Shattered lives.

Those weren't her exact words.

About resisting The idea at first.

Really?

What about what you told me

About your being Involved with another man?

Well, um,

I guess I'm not as Serious about this man

As I thought I was.

Because I know he just came Out of a bad relationship,

But I'm afraid he Might react badly.

You haven't told him, have you?

No. Don't be silly.

Because that would Be terrible, mr. Keaton.

I mean, that would Ruin everything.

That since liz was involved With someone when you met

That she's just leading you on.

But is that the case, liz?

No, definitely not.

And liz, it seems That you're afraid

That terry doesn't Want to see you anymore

Because you weren't honest With him from the start.

Is that the case, terry?

No.

Go out and have a good time.

In fact, go to guido's.

We have an account there. You can charge everything to us.
