Original subtitles

Don't you think you should get ready?

For your date?

It's your date.

You're meeting my old boyfriend.

If it's my date, how come you're going to so much trouble for it?

I'm not going to any trouble.

A seven-course meal is no trouble?

They're not really courses; they're just little servings.

Starting with this.

You like caviar, don't you?

I think you told me you did.

And Bellinis.

I don't think you asked me.

I didn't?

Oh, maybe that was Bert.

Yeah, maybe.

Anyway, this will still be cold

if you want to take a quick shower

and put on something nice

like that cashmere sweater I gave you.

Just curious.

How much is this meal costing us?

Not including the cashmere sweater you bought me.

It's costing us about a third

of what it would be in a restaurant.

Which is why I wanted to cook, to save money.

Yeah, all right, but if you ask me, you're just showing off

in front of your old boyfriend.

I love it when you're jealous.

I'm not jealous. You just seem to be making every effort

to make me jealous.

I'm making every effort to make Bert jealous.

I want him to see how wonderful we are together.

Because?

Because when I wanted to marry him,

he didn't want to marry me.

Well, I guess that's honest enough.

Are you sure you still don't have feelings for him?

I'm still a little angry with him, yes.

But do I care about him?

I like him, but I love you and only you.

And I'd love you

even more if you were showered and wearing that new sweater.

Uh, shouldn't we get that together?

Bert!

My little Rosa!

How ya doin', doll face?

Oh, you look yummier than ever.

It is so good

to see you.

You look great.

No thanks to you, and I mean that sincerely.

Hey, how you doin'?

Simon Camden.

Uh, Bert, Robert, Umberto... Whatever you prefer.

Umberto?

Umberto Lanzo.

So, uh, would you like a-a Bellini or some caviar?

Oh, you remembered.

So cute.

Anybody call Ruthie today?

Like...? Just anybody.

Well, no.

Why do you ask?

Just wondered, you know, she has a cell phone.

I thought maybe somebody might call her.

Why's that?

Well, Ruthie's a very nice girl,

I'm sure plenty of guys have noticed that.

Oh, stop worrying, they'll call.

Hey, I hope I get a call. You know, tonight's the night.

Tonight's the night?

When Simon

meets Rose's old boyfriend. Oh.

I forgot. Well, I didn't.

Well, look, don't get your hopes up, okay?

Well, I don't know, I have a really good feeling about this.

I think Simon made it

very clear that he's made up his mind

not to let Rose's old boyfriend get in the way

of, uh, the upcoming nuptials.

Okay, we'll see.

Why do you want

to do this to yourself?

Why do I want to get excited

about the possibility

that our son might not be making the biggest mistake

of his entire life after all?

Because I'm his mother.

All right, well, I guess

we're just gonna have to play this one out.

Yeah. What's going on?

Nothing yet.

I'm gonna go check on the boys.

Will you take the bread out of the oven?

Do me a favor.

If I ever do

get engaged, and that's a big "if"...

Someday it'll happen, I promise.

Just let me know

if you hate the guy, all right? And I won't marry him.

Deal.

You're not answering?

I-I'm paying for a cell phone

so you can screen your calls?

It's Kevin... again.

Again?

It's a pity call.

He knows no one is calling me.

The whole world knows no one is calling me.

Have you tried giving people your phone number?

What people?

I don't have a boyfriend, I don't have any friends,

and I don't know who I expected

was going to call me. You have friends.

Uh... no, I don't.

Well, you... have friends.

No, I don't.

You see, I thought

if you got a computer and a cell phone, that you could

take the time to make new friends or call some old ones,

then you and your friends could call each other

and e-mail each other. And maybe,

just maybe, you could use the computer

to do some research and actually learn something

that you never knew before.

Take an interest in what's going on in the world, be

part of the world...

live. Yeah, well,

I thought so, too. But as it turns out,

all I've learned is what I already knew.

I have no friends.

And I still don't have the computer.

How much more

would it have been to get it shipped overnight?

20 bucks.

There's... no, there's no reason to pay the 20 bucks.

It'll get here, I'm sure. Yeah, well,

and when it does,

I still won't have any friends to e-mail.

Kevin, you're not on the phone with Ruthie, are you?

I'm right here.

I left Ruthie a couple of messages.

She won't take any of my calls.

Well, um, it's nice of you to call her,

but I think you might be making her feel worse.

What makes you say that?

Because she called and asked me

to ask you not to call her anymore.

All right, I can take a hint.

Someone wants to say "good night" to you.

Oh...

Good night, sweetie.

Mama.

Oh, I love

when you say that.

We're really lucky.

She's such a good baby.

Aren't you, Savannah?

I like that babies have to learn how to talk.

They can't just say "mommy" and "daddy" right away.

By the time they say it, they mean it.

It's like we've actually earned that mommy and daddy

over the past year, you know?

Mama.

Da.

Or not.

Yeah, or not.

Good night. I love you, Savannah.

Good night, Mama.

That's Mama.

That's Samson.

And that's Delilah.

Da-da.

No, I'm Daddy.

I would have been happy to cook, you know.

You've cooked enough for the past six months.

That's kind of what I want to talk to you about after dinner.

All right, but not during dinner?

It doesn't matter.

I've just been thinking about, you know,

us and our family and my work

and, you know, this new project and, uh, the way we do things.

You know, let's just talk about it after dinner.

Just call her.

I can't call her.

I waited too long to call her

and now it'd just be like a really big deal.

Who cares if it's a big deal? I care.

It's only a big deal if you make it a big deal.

Well, I made it a big deal.

So that's what it is. It's a big deal.

What's the worst thing that could happen?

I don't know. My girlfriend could find out.

What girlfriend? You don't have a girlfriend.

There's a girl that you e-mail and call sometimes,

but you never see her. Still.

Still what? That's not a relationship.

Yeah, well, Ruthie's in love with that Martin guy.

At least that's what everyone's telling me.

She's in love with him.

The guy that went away to take care of his baby

that he had with another woman?

Yep.

I don't believe it.

I don't believe she's in love with him.

Call her and ask her.

I can't just call up Ruthie and be like,

"Hey, are you in love with that Martin guy or not?"

First you say, "Hey, Ruthie, how're you doing?

I've been thinking about you."

Then you talk for a few minutes, and then you say,

"Hey, whatever happened to that guy

who used to live at your house? What's his name... Mark?"

Martin.

I know that, but if you act like you don't know his name,

it won't seem like it's that important, okay?

I can't.

I practically owe Reverend Camden my life.

You have to do this for me... For him.

Why didn't you just tell him I had a girlfriend?

Because you don't.

Where am I supposed to tell Ruthie

I got her phone number from anyways?

It's listed.

She doesn't have to know that her dad called me.

Oh, so you want me to lie.

She probably won't even ask.

And if she does?

Tell her I gave it to you.

That's the truth.

I don't know.

Who pays for that phone?

You do.

Right. And your mother

didn't think you even needed a cell phone, remember?

Look, Martin, I figure you're not here,

you've got a new life.

I've only got a couple of months of school left.

What's it going to hurt if I just call Ruthie and talk?

I mean, maybe Ruthie and I could be friends.

You two were friends.

We could go to the movies or get a coffee or something

without either one of us making it any big deal.

Right?

I've got no one to hang out with, so call me.

And let me know how the baby is, huh?

I can't believe you're a dad.

Call me back.

I know, but if Ruthie wanted me to have her number,

I'm sure she would have given it to me herself.

What should I do?

So, here's to a long and happy marriage.

Mmm! This is the Chianti from your father's vineyard

that I love so much,

isn't it? He sent you a whole case.

It's actually in the car.

An engagement present for you and Simon.

Actually, I hardly ever drink.

That is so sweet.

I love your dad.

Not as much as he loves you.

His dad loves me.

Who doesn't?

I think we know who doesn't.

And your mom? She's well?

Well, she hasn't spoken to me since we broke up.

You mean since you broke up with me.

Well, that's what I mean.

She hasn't forgiven me yet.

Oh, neither has Rose.

I think I'll check on the lasagna.

The vegetarian? The eggplant one?

Just like your mother makes.

You know, my mother never gave that recipe

to anybody outside the family other than Rose?

I thought you got the recipe

when you were in cooking school in Italy.

I did.

That's when I thought Umberto and I were getting married.

It was his grandmother's school.

Hey.

I want her back.

I'm just kidding, man.

No, no, no, seriously, seriously,

I'm, I'm just kidding.

Yeah.

Kind of.

Oh, it's not done.

I don't understand, I've had it in the oven

for over an hour and a half.

Maybe we should start without the chicken.

I don't care about the chicken.

We're starving.

Just let me put it back in the oven for 15 minutes.

I'm sure you can wait 15 minutes.

I'm sorry, I thought I turned that off.

Oh, I'll just be a minute.

Is that Simon? No.

That's Simon.

Pick up, pick up!

Hello?

Ruthie, are you alone?

No, I'm not alone.

Well, then get somewhere where you're alone,

because I need you to Google someone,

and I don't want anyone in the house to know, okay?

Okay.

It's personal.

Hello?

Oh, Simon just called Ruthie.

And? And I don't know.

Simon just called Ruthie.

He's having dinner with Rose and her old boyfriend tonight.

It's my brother.

I'll call him back.

That's okay, I want to talk to my mom for just a minute.

Hey.

What's up?

We were just sitting down to dinner.

Who were you talking to?

My wife.

Why do I have to be your brother?

Lucy doesn't like me.

I didn't tell her I talked to you.

What's the problem?

I don't know, I mean...

What's the point in calling Ruthie?

I'm graduating, I'm going to school in Florida.

I didn't ask you to marry her, I asked you to call her.

I can't get him to call her;

maybe you can get her to call him.

Why won't he call her?

Because he's made such a big deal out of it.

If she's not happy to hear from him,

he's going to need therapy the rest of his life.

No, he won't and she'll be happy to hear from him.

She'd be happy to hear from anybody.

So, my son's just anyone?

No, of course not.

I'm just saying, it's just a phone call.

Does he have a girlfriend?

Kind of.

It's a cell phone, email relationship.

And calling Ruthie would be cheating?

I don't know.

Does anyone know what the rules are?

You know, Ruthie's just an old friend.

I know that.

Well?

I'll keep trying.

Why couldn't they just send it overnight?

Twenty dollars more.

I would have sent you the twenty

if I'd known I'd be in this situation.

Well, what kind of situation are you in exactly?

I mean, to have someone Googled?

This guy shows up, he's nothing like I expected,

now I'm completely off my game.

What were you expecting?

Not this guy.

Talk to me about what, Luce?

Just talk to me now.

Uh, boys, would you get that, please?

Hello, Camden residence.

Lucy, I'm your mother,

why can't you tell me before you tell him?

Because he's my husband.

Everything okay?

Everything's fine.

Do we want to subscribe to the Glenoak Gazette?

We already subscribe to a newspaper.

We already subscribe.

Okay, I'll call you back

but talk to Kevin so you can talk to me.

Well, wait, just, just tell me first.

You know, whatever you want to talk to me about

is about you and me, then just tell me.

Does this have something to do with the baby? Are you okay?

I'm fine, the baby's fine, everything's fine.

It's just not a conversation

to have on a cell phone.

What conversation can't you have on a cell phone?

Ooh, hang on.

No, I already subscribe to the paper.

I don't have time for this, okay?

Yeah, I'm a stay-at-home dad.

So?

Ooh, hang on.

Hi, this is Lucy.

Oh, hi.

No, no, no, that's okay.

I just didn't want to commit to the property yet.

Yes, yes, no, it is the perfect location,

but we're on a budget...

A very tight budget, and I wanted to bring someone in

who has a little bit more experience

with that sort of thing.

You know, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to call you back.

No, I'm sorry...

Hold on.

Hi, you called already.

We subscribe.

Take us off the list, okay?

Look, do you always do this before you call a girl?

The first time, pretty much, yeah.

And this just isn't any girl,

this is a girl that I probably shouldn't call.

Because?

All right, let me get my computer on and I'll take

a quick look, but I can't make the decision.

I've got another call.

Property for Teenage Mothers.

Um, sorry, I'll be right there.

Ah, but we should get a break,

'cause we're paying cash, wouldn't we?

I need you to do me a favor.

Hang on, I'm on the other line.

Let me hang up.

Hey, I'm on the other line with Dad.

Sorry, I, I would talk to my dad about this,

but my mom and dad are divorced and...

Didn't your dad die when you were in high school?

Not my dad, Lucy's dad, Reverend Camden.

You call him "Dad"?

Yes, I do. And would you quit making such a

big deal out of this and call Ruthie?

Good-bye.

Sorry.

I did something stupid.

I called Vic and asked him to have Peter call Ruthie,

'cause I thought, you know, maybe it would cheer her up.

I did the same thing.

You called Peter?

No, I ran into Martin's friend,

Mac, at the Promenade and gave him her number.

Oh, well, uh, all right, I...

I also might have mentioned her phone number in passing

to that guy that she went to the church social with, Sam.

I don't think she liked him.

Yeah, I know, but he seems like a nice guy,

and he passed by the car while I was

waiting for her to come out of school and...

What is it about these cell phones?

I feel like my brain has just been sucked

right out of my head. No good can come from this.

Take it easy.

It's just a cell phone. You'll get used to it.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Well, shouldn't you get back out there?

I did get back out there.

Then I spilled something on my sweater

so I could get back in here.

You know, I don't think she's just trying

to make me jealous, it's more than that.

Are you sure that I'm the person

that you should be talking about this with?

Weren't you just complaining all week that nobody calls you?

I'm having a panic attack here.

Okay.

Can you hold on a second? Just take a deep breath.

Hello?

Hey! It's me, Mac.

I heard you got a cell phone.

Yeah, I do.

I'm on the other line with my brother.

Can I call you back?

Sure, call me back.

Hey.

You don't think she'd actually leave me

for her old boyfriend, do you?

Sorry, can you hold on a second?

No, we already subscribe. Thank you.

This party is not available or is outside the service area.

This party is not available or is outside the service area.

Sorry.

He's not even her type. I...

Hold on, I have another call.

Hello?

Do you think it would be okay if we eat the chicken?

What-what chicken? Where is everyone?

They're on their cell phones.

Eat the chicken.

Thank you very much.

What are you doing?

- I - think after as much time

as I've spent trying to get you, you owe me an answer.

Are you in love with Martin Brewer or not?

What difference does it make?

I mean, you said you didn't even want to be friends with me.

I said I didn't want to be friends?

Yeah, you said that.

Well, maybe I do want to be friends.

But only if you're not going to go out with me.

I'm not going to go out with you.

But I really do want to be friends with you.

So, truthfully,

is this about Martin Brewer or is it about me?

It's about me.

I'm sorry, I've got another call.

All right, well, give me a call sometime.

I can always use a friend.

Yeah, me, too. Bye.

Hey, I'm sorry.

I was going to call you back, but I didn't.

Sorry.

I thought maybe you were worried about Martin.

Just so you know, I called him to see him if it's okay

if I called you, but he didn't call me back.

You don't have to ask Martin's permission to call me.

I didn't have to, but...

Are you still in love with him?

What's the point?

He's kind of taken.

Yeah, but when did that matter to anybody?

I'm calling you.

And you're taken.

Mentally, anyway.

Yeah, kind of.

So why are you calling me?

I don't know.

Some guys find the unattainable attractive.

You know what I mean?

No, but...

Did my dad ask you to call me?

Apparently, he was handing out my number at school today.

No, it was your brother-in-law.

I must be really pathetic.

You're in love with a guy who just had a baby.

That's kind of pathetic, don't you think?

In what way?

"In what way?"

I'm joking.

So, what's going on in your life?

Oh, can you hold on a second?

I've got another call.

Hello?

Hello, yourself.

Peter?

Yep, it's me.

Can I call you right back?

Sure.

She's so lonely and depressed, no one ever calls her.

She's on the other line right now.

Maybe she's talking to the principal of her school

or the President of the United States.

I don't know... I mean, just because she's talking

to somebody else doesn't mean

she's not excited to hear from you.

That's exactly what it means.

Now she's talking to him and not to me.

Me? She'll call back later.

Thanks.

What do you care?

You have a girlfriend.

Well, as you pointed out, she's not my real girlfriend.

So, what do you want to do?

I'll just wait for Ruthie

to call me back, and then if she calls me back,

I didn't call her,

so technically, it's not cheating.

On the girlfriend you don't really have.

What if you talked to Ruthie in person?

What if we just dropped by to say hello?

People don't do that.

You can't just drop by someone's house and say hi.

You have to call first.

They're Christians.

And?

They have to let us in.

Just drop by?

Yeah.

KEVIN and LUCY: Sorry... I couldn't get off the phone.

I'd say, "Bad dogs," but I haven't fed them yet.

Oh, I'm sorry. ERIC: Sorry.

I just couldn't get off my phone.

Where are the boys?

I'm sure they're around.

Where's the chicken?

Oh, hello there.

What were you doing outside?

Taking out the trash.

We cleaned up everything, just like you would

if you weren't on the phone.

- And Happy helped. - Did you also

put the leftovers in the refrigerator

just like we would have?

There's no leftovers.

You didn't eat the whole chicken and all the mashed potatoes

and the peas and the salad and the rolls, did you?

We shared.

We called Simon.

He said we could eat the chicken.

So, we did.

It was really good.

Thank you.

Yeah, well, you're welcome.

Did... did Simon mention anything

about how dinner is going at his house?

Okay, well, hey.

Thanks for cleaning up.

We were so busy on the phone

that we forgot to feed our children.

I am so ashamed of myself.

Me, too.

And I'm so hungry.

Remember that time we got that car stuck

in an alley in that tiny little village? Oh.

Yeah.

I probably couldn't even fit in that car now.

I probably couldn't fit in the alley.

I probably couldn't even fit in the village.

I like a man with an appetite.

You always had a big appetite.

Yeah. It shows you love life.

Yeah, but not as much as food.

I was hoping to lose a pound or 50

before the wedding. Are you getting married?

No, you are.

I'm just, uh, an usher or something, right?

If you can come all the way back out here,

we'd love to have you be an usher, wouldn't we, Simon?

Unless you want to be a bridesmaid.

Who was it?

No one.

Someone.

Someone you don't want us

to know about.

You don't have a girlfriend, do you?

Ooh.

No.

Actually, that was my mother.

She's probably just checking on how our dinner is going.

I'm going to go outside and call her back. Sorry.

His mother?

I doubt it.

Simon's very close with his family.

And I'm sure his mother is hoping that you'll break up

the two of us and the wedding will be called off.

And, uh, what are you hoping?

I'm hoping that we don't still have feelings for each other.

We don't, do we?

Are you insane?

I just wanted to know how dinner's going.

Not that great, but I can't talk,

and... and you can't call me again.

Oh, but I can.

Look, I'm getting married.

I'm really getting married.

From what you've told me,

I don't know why you're marrying this woman.

I was just blowing off a little steam

when I was talking to you, okay?

It's a stressful time in my life.

You're not handling it that well.

Maybe I can help you.

No, you can't... and, please, don't call me again.

I'm turning off my phone.

I have your home phone number.

Would it be better for me to reach you there?

I'm kidding.

What do you think I am, a stalker?

Well, you're not, right?

No, I'm not.

And I was just going to leave you a message.

I-I didn't know you'd actually pick up the phone, Simon.

I'll see you around.

Bye.

Hello?

One more thing.

I'm in the parking lot.

Mmm. It's fine.

No, it's missing something.

I fry the paste with the oil to start,

but I don't know.

Simon, are you okay?

We're moving on to the pasta.

Just a second.

Simon, is everything all right at your house?

Yeah, yeah, everything's fine.

I'm just feeling a little lightheaded.

I'm not used to the wine, I guess.

I'm sorry, Umberto.

I don't mean to be rude. Oh...

Actually, I think I need some fresh air.

If you two will excuse me,

I'm just going to go back outside for a minute

and take a walk around the block.

You two go ahead with dinner.

I don't want to spoil your reunion or anything.

I'm just going to go get some oxygen.

We can all go if you want.

I mean, we could all take a walk.

No, no, no, no, no, that's not necessary.

You two stay here and, uh, catch up.

Do you think it's because your grandmother's

tomato paste is fresh instead of canned?

Nah, they're practically the same.

What the heck is going on?

What do you mean?

What I mean is something's going on with this fiancé of yours,

and I don't think it has anything to do with his mother.

You don't know his mother.

And really, it-it probably is the wine; he can't drink.

Well, it's not such a bad thing,

as long as he doesn't pursue it, but, hey?

You sure you're happy with this guy?

I'm sure.

Okay.

Well, um... I want you back.

I'm just kidding... kind of.

Do you still have feelings for me?

I'm not getting left at the altar a second time.

Kevin, uh, I'm not going to take on this project,

the Home For Teen Girls.

Because? Because

I'm 23 years old.

Just 23 years old, and I just started working

as the associate pastor at my dad's church.

And in order to do that,

you gave up your job to be a stay-at-home parent.

And I'm glad I did.

And I'll support you in anything you want to do.

I just think that at 23, I still have a lot to learn, Kev.

I mean, I know very little

about acquiring property

and getting licensed, and setting up a facility

to serve the pregnant teen population.

I mean, that's a huge task... Huge.

And, you know, I'm a young mother

and we've got a growing family.

I want to work, but I don't want to work

so hard that I don't have time

for you and Savannah and the baby.

You know, I want us to enjoy this time in our lives.

It's such a wonderful thing to be young

and healthy and in love

and have children.

And, on top of all that,

I get to work with my dad in a job that I love.

Yeah... I don't know what could be better.

So, I'm going

to back away from this project.

I found someone to take over for me.

Someone who has more experience than me.

I don't know, last time I saw Peter, it was a bit awkward.

It's always awkward seeing someone you used to care about.

Did you ever care about me?

I mean, really care.

Okay, don't, don't answer that.

If you didn't care about me,

going out with me wouldn't be awkward.

No, I did, in a way.

And I think it was caring about you that made me realize

that I could care about Martin, because you're the same age.

And then, of course, when Martin moved out,

he didn't seem so much like a big brother.

Okay, I see.

It's my fault.

Well, I guess if you're thinking about Martin,

then you're not thinking about going out with me.

Well, it's just I think

Peter's more appropriate for me to go out with.

He's my age.

What's a year or two?

Besides, it's how you feel about a person.

Peter isn't Martin.

I'm, I'm not Martin, either,

but I'm closer to being Martin than Peter is.

I don't know.

I kind of miss Peter.

All right, well, that's about all the rejection

I can handle for an evening.

You have my number if you ever want to call me.

All right, thanks.

Yeah, let me know how things go with Peter.

Hey, Ruthie, you've got company.

I-I didn't want to wait for you to call me back.

I wanted to see you.

Me and my dad were at the Promenade, so we just figured

we'd drop by.

I know it's kind of rude to just drop by,

but I did try to call. I know.

I couldn't decide if I should call you back.

I figured, my dad had asked you to call me,

and you probably still had a girlfriend.

Yeah, but we don't really see each other.

We just kind of talk on the phone.

It's easier than... This.

Yeah. Well, I've only had my cell phone

for a week, so talking to you face-to-face

isn't that hard for me.

It's how I usually talk to people, face-to-face.

You really do have a pretty face.

This party is not available

or is outside the service area.

Is this your first experience with cell phones?

Oh, not really... uh, yes.

You were kind enough at one time

to tell me how I might improve my life,

so let me give you a tip.

When it comes to the world of teenagers and cell phones

and e-mails, it's a dark pool.

Do not swim in there.

Stay up on the shore far, far away from all the activity,

lest you drown from trying

to keep your daughter from going under.

That's quite an analogy.

Thank you.

Hey, you're not...

Still drinking?

No, stone-cold sober, thank you very much.

Oh...

It's good to see you, really, it is.

We've missed you and Paris and Peter and... where's the baby?

Oh, my God, where is the ba...?

Oh, that's right, no, Paris has her tonight.

Whew.

It's a boys' night out...

A little something I started with my son.

We go out once a week, talk face-to-face,

something you might want to consider

as you move into the world

of endless, mindless, continuous cell phone conversations.

Fortunately,

I think we've gotten that message quickly.

We're only going to use them

when it's really necessary for emergencies.

Don't kid yourself.

There's no going back.

Uh, okay, we can go now.

Good night.

Good night.

We know the way out.

Thanks for handing out my number

and for the cell phone, of course.

Good night.

Wait a minute, Ruthie.

Are you and Peter going to start seeing each other again?

I don't know, maybe,

or maybe we'll just be friends... Cell phone friends.

Cell phone friends who make out occasionally?

Yeah, I guess.

Hmm...

Gosh, I hope Rose is as excited

to see her old boyfriend.

Oh, yeah, but what are the chances of that?

It's Lucy.

Well, maybe you should take it.

It's Kevin.

Hello.

Oh, yeah.

I am so sorry.

You wouldn't believe what happened.

I actually got lost.

Simon, Umberto was telling me about Positano.

No, let's find out what happened to Simon.

No, please, I'm sure

that Positano is much more interesting.

Than getting lost in the parking lot?

The parking lot?

I'm kidding, kind of.

Simon, you still look a little pale.

Maybe you should take another walk.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah, I think I will.

You don't think anything is going on with him?

Yeah, I think he's totally jealous

and nervous and a little intimidated,

but now that he sees you as a threat,

I'm absolutely certain he won't leave me at the altar.

What about you?

Are you absolutely certain you won't leave him at the altar?

It-It's really scary when you're not sure

about what you're doing.

Maybe it'd be best just to admit that you're having doubts.

But I'm not having doubts.

Okay, well... what if I said

I really do want you back?

And I'm not kidding, not even kind of.

You know, on second thought, I think I'm fine now.

I know people in City Hall.

Jane's daughter is in Ruthie's class,

and she said she'd help me,

like, speed through the building permits

so that if the bid does come through,

we can start renovation immediately

in what used to be a workout facility

in this apartment complex.

So we'll set up a nursery... A 24-hour nursery...

So that these girls have someone to watch their children.

I mean, it will give them many more options

for their work and for their school.

Go on.

Should I?

Yeah, no, it's really nice

to hear you so excited about something.

Okay, well, I think I can do it

without too many big changes around here.

You know, I-I have the time or I can make the time.

The twins are in school

and Ruthie's 16... she'll be off to college in two years.

And, well, I've always loved teenage girls,

and I know a lot about babies. Absolutely.

Is Lucy going to stay involved? She'll be involved

only in the counseling services part of it.

She doesn't want to take any more on.

She wants to take life a little more slowly.

She'll be involved with you and the church,

but from her family and her work,

she hopes to gain the knowledge

and the life experience that will then

allow her to do something like this, but not now.

But she's convinced Mrs. Macaferty

that I'm the person for the job,

and Mrs. Macaferty is very impressed with Lucy.

Admitting that you don't know anything

is the beginning of wisdom. Hmm.

Or the absence of an Internet connection.

I think Lucy's going to be a very wise woman.

Yeah, just like her mother. Hmm.

You know, you haven't mentioned

Simon and Rose for hours.

Did you ever find out why he was calling Ruthie?

You know, the funny thing is, I've been so busy

with my own life that I've stopped worrying.

Hmm...

And like my daughter, I think I'm learning that,

um, maybe I don't know everything.

Like, I guess I don't know what's right for Simon.

I'd like to think that I do, but maybe I don't.

I mean, maybe he should marry Rose.

I mean, maybe he could do better than Rose,

but then again, maybe he could do worse.

Hello?

Hi, is my wife there?

Do you think we would have been

as close as we are if we had relied

on these things instead of each other all these 30 years?

I don't know.

I mean, I don't know if the new ways

of communicating are better,

or if we're getting equal amounts of misinformation

with all of our new information,

or we're actually better informed.

I don't know, I-I really don't.

But I do know

that I love you.

And I love you.

Hello?

Hi, Ruthie. It's... it's Benjamin.

Benjamin?

Uh, Benjamin Bainsworth. Um, I'm in your English class.

Oh, did my dad give you my number?

No, uh, I found it.

Some guy wrote it on a piece of paper

and it was blowing around the Promenade

and I picked it up.

I figured it was fate.

Look, I've thought about calling you all year,

but I-I didn't think you had a cell phone.

And I didn't know about calling a religious person's house.

My dad's a minister,

but we're pretty much like any other family.

Yeah, I guess now you are.

Yeah. I guess... now we are.

Thanks. You don't have to do that.

I'll clean up. I cooked.

No, I've got it.

That was a really amazing meal.

You think?

Yeah, and Umberto seemed like a really nice guy.

He is a nice guy.

It was good to see him again.

Um, how good?

"How good?"

Well, I was just wondering, you know?

I mean, you two seemed to be really close,

close like friends close.

You know, I'm not saying that you two are anything more than friends,

but do you still have any feelings for Umberto?

I thought I didn't, but honestly,

I don't know.

He's gonna stick around for the week.

I'll be right back to help you.

Promise.

Hey, are you coming out to play again?

Simon?

Hey. Did you think about what I said?

Rose?
