(doorman) What do we got here?
One, two, three, four.

Four beautiful ladies.
Come on.

Caesar, let 'em in.

Nice. Not you. Too random.

Hey, Tinka.
What are you doing?

I'm waiting for you.
Oh, no. You can't
become a supermodel

waiting in the middle
of a line. Follow me.

Evening, Jimmy.
This is Tinka.
She's with you?

Are you kidding?
I'm with her.

She's the next big thing.
Look at her.

Well, that may be,
but she's not on the list.

Oh, let me see that.

Look at that.
She is now, stud.

Come on.
Let 'em in.

(Tinka) So, that's
how it works.
(girl) Who was she?

(girl)
Hey, what about us, stud?

(man) We've been waiting
for an hour.

No, Caitlin's not in this early.

I'll connect you

Hey, Lacey.
Good morning.

Good morning.
Two calls from Paris,

one from Milan, and both need
you to call back right now.

Ouch! Come here, Shelby.
Sweetie, don't kick Mommy.

Lacey. You brought Shelby again.
Dominique's gonna kill you.

She's getting picked up

Non, non, uh...

for that shoot again.

Yeah, just to be sure.
Varusha, Segrid Olafsson,

Malak, Tinka...

Tinka?

I don't have a Tinka.
Who is Tinka?

Morning, Lacey.

Is that the new one?
Let me see.

You smell funny.
What is it? Baby powder?

You need to sign these,

Who are you?

Mary. I'm the new intern.

Hope you're here long enough

Shh, shh!

Dominique? Dominique, here are

(Dominique) Hm.

Well, they're not every man.
Do better.

I demand to have her first.
Let me speak to Dominique
right now.

I need the list
for the shoot. Yes.

Oh, you've heard about Tinka,
have you?

Well, if you want her,
she's gonna cost you double,
you know?

She's very popular.
(whispering) Who's Tinka?

Good. We got a deal. Bye.

I love new clients.

Thank you.

Caitlin.

No, no. He looks like a model.
No, he's just too beautiful.

We need a, you know, everyman.
A bloke.

A really, you know,
nice...
Dominique.

You see. That's a bloke.

Excuse me.
You with the water.
What's your name?

Gary Hagelnick.

Um... Cia.

Would you photograph him,
please?

Vieni qua, facciamolo.

I don't do naked...
any more.
Scusa.

(Dominique)
Take some test shots.
I think he's our Lola guy.

Jen, our little sister

Please. You should talk.
You had your fun.

Yeah. That was fun,

but I was never a size two,
you traitor.

Hey, we would have won
if we'd played horse.

no video games
until you clean up the den.

(Audrey and Henry) Mom!
(whinnies like a horse)

Oh, honey.

Night, Dad.

(Dad) Buddy, you're looking
good out there.

Thanks, Dad. The coach said
I can play in every game.

That's great.

No, the birthday girl
should not be doing the dishes.

I agree.
Yeah.

I'll go change my shirt
and I'll come back
and take over.

OK?
OK.

You guys are such
a Pottery Barn catalogue.

How did that happen?
Whoo!

It's like they've never
seen a dress before.

Um... They just haven't seen
half of a dress.

You know what you were saying

about the Pottery Barn
catalogue?

You know how you get there?
You meet the nice guy,

you get married,
and you get to experience...

(both) The miracle of life.

(both laugh)

Oh. Oh.
Oops.

Well, I don't know
why I bother talking
to you two.

Oh, no, no. Hello in there.

Will I be seeing you
in four months?

Yes, I will.
I hope you like potpourri.

Yes, I do. And I hope you
like Tupperware parties.

And lots of flowers.
Lots of...

It's true as well.
I do, I love 'em.

I don't know any of them,

What are you wearing?
I don't know.
Whatever they put on me.

You took these
from the photo shoot?

You know you're not supposed
to take the clothes you model.

Oh, right. So I guess
I should take 'em off.

I'll help you.

What is this?
Oh, bubble wrap.

Hi.
How are you?

Hi. What is this?
Sunday brunch gridlock?

Jenny.
Acceptable guys

Jenny, slow down.
I can't hear you.

Are they looking at you or me?

What?

Oh, no.

Oh, no, Jenny.
Helen, what's the matter?

Look at Helen.
Jenny...

Helen, what happened?

Hello. What is it?
Honey, what happened?

(Helen, crying) What?
Are you sure?

Jumped the center divide
and he slammed into them.

They didn't have time to react.

That's what the police
think, anyway.
I'm sorry, Ed.

(woman) I remember when
they bought this house.

So what happens now
with the kids?

Oh, hey.
Do the kids have
any grandparents?

Yes. Paul's parents
came from Miami.

They just barely
made it today, so...

So sorry.

I'm so, so sorry
about your aunt and uncle.

Thank you.
Yeah, thank you.

Reverend Hallin
spoke so beautifully.

Thanks again, sweetie.

(rattling)

(sniffing)

I'm so sorry.

So sorry
for your loss, Jenny.
I know, sweetheart.

I know.

It smells like Mommy in here.

(Jenny) Guys.

A lot of people are waiting
to pay their respects.

I'm sure they'd appreciate it
if you all came downstairs.

We are gonna get through this.

All right?

Hey, do you mind going
to the market for me

and getting some blue
party napkins?

Now? I mean, can't we
use something else?

Helen.

I've planned the funeral
and I've...

I've made the food
and I've taken responsibility

for three very scared children.

All I'm asking you for
is four packages of blue,

three-ply dinner napkins
with a seashell design,

so that people don't remember
our sister and her husband

with paper toweling
on their l... on their laps.

All right.

(doorbell)

Terribly sorry.
Thank you.

Hi, I'm Wanda from next door.

If you need anything,
my phone number's
on the casserole.

Thank you.
And I'm Rudy
from across the street.

I also wanted
to pay my condolences.

Everyone loved Lindsay and Paul.

Ball goes up...
Oh, all right.

Come on through
and give your brother
a bounce pass.

There you go.
Get it up. Yes!

Very good. OK.
Now you give Sarah
a bounce pass.

Come on, Sarah.
Come on. Come on, sweetie.

(man) "Section 5."

"Custody and care of
the Davis children."

"An account and trust
has been set up
at Maplewood Savings Bank,

in the names of Audrey,
Henry and Sarah Davis."

"This bank also holds
the mortgage

on the Davis property
at 207, Oak Street."

Yes, Larry, and that mortgage
is quite large.

We do need to talk
about that also.

We will.

"With regard to custody
of Audrey, Henry and Sarah,

we hereby appoint
sole guardianship
of all three children,

imbuing her with all legal
rights and responsibilities

that guardianship entails,

to Helen Harris."

What?

What?
It's not a mistake.

I prepared this for them myself.

They were very clear.
Helen Harris.

Jenny should have them.

I... She's got kids. I...

She's got the mom haircut.
She's Supermom.

She left a letter for each of
you explaining her decision.

You know I handled
your mother's will.

Lindsay and Paul's
was equally specific.

Good Lord, Lindsay.

Can I read yours?

Helen.

Are there any contingencies?
Yes.

If Helen is either unable

or unwilling to care
for the children,

then you, Jenny,
are thusly appointed.

OK, finally, some reason.

Thank you.

God, why didn't you
start with that?

Can you imagine Helen
raising three kids?

(Helen clears throat)

When should I tell them?

As soon as possible.

Are you sure?
Yep.

But we all thought...

Nope.

It's gonna be hard
to take care of us
if you're dead too.

This?

Won't kill me for years.

Who's gonna take me to school?

I guess I am.

And make me chicken fingers?
Me.

And give me a bath?
Me.

And check my nose boogies
for infections?

We'll find someone else
to do that last thing.

Come here.

All we gotta do is
stick together.

Everything's gonna be OK.

Thanks for trying, Aunt Helen,
but it's not gonna be OK.

Come on, Sarah.
It's time for your bath.

Come on, Henry.

Good idea. Great.

Uh... You guys do that,

while Aunt Helen is gonna
go out and check the lawn.

Is Aunt Helen older
than you, Audrey?

(Audrey whispers)
Get farther down.

Is she playing
hide-and-go-seek?

(Audrey) I don't think so.

(Henry) We are in deep shit.

(Helen) I love New York pizza.

Aunt Helen, can we go
to the Statue of Liberty
tomorrow?

No, because we won't be here...

Where's Henry?
He said he'd be
right back.

I go to the bathroom
for five seconds,
and he's gone?

With mustard. Here it is.
I didn't want mustard.

You don't want mustard?
No.

All right. No mustard.

There he is.
Henry!

OK? Who's gonna
pay for this?
Aunt Helen.

You can't do that.
You can't just leave.

I hate pizza.
I wanted a hot dog.

Can you pay Aaron, please?
I'm Aaron.

Hi, Aaron. I like that
he's making new friends.

It's lovely.
(Aaron) Look me up!

The next time you want
something like a hot dog,
you tell me, OK?

And we'll all go together.
OK.

Where are we going
to dinner?
This is dinner.

(Sarah) Gee, Mommy
never let pizza be
our whole dinner.

(Henry) And Dad always said
not to eat and walk
at the same time.

(Audrey) Well, they're not
here to yell at us,
so it doesn't matter.

(Henry) How many beds do you
have in your apartment,
Aunt Helen?

(Sarah) Aunt Helen!
(Helen laughs)

Audrey, your knee.
Stop!

Hey, guys. Shh!

(lisps) I'm telling you,
if we don't go to sleep
right now,

Sleepless Sally
gets really upset

when the kids aren't
going to sleep.

Where's Sarah? Sarah?

I'm right down here.

Henry's feet stink. Phew!

(Henry) But I'm a man.
(Audrey) Give Aunt Helen
a whiff.

I don't want to smell your feet.

Ew! I can smell them
from here.
Ew!

Ew! Henry!
Oh, my goodness.

You need to wash your feet
not once a week.

(Henry) Good night, all.

Audrey, get out of the bathroom.

Fire! Fire!

Aunt Helen?
Hm?

Why are we going back?
This was great.

We should spend more time here.

More time?
Yeah.

We can move here.

We can't sleep every night
in a stinky-feet bed.

We'll move to another apartment.
It's a huge city.

You'll be closer to your job
and everything.

You love your job.
What about Henry and Sarah?

What about them?
They've got school.

They have friends.
You guys grew up
in that neighborhood.

That's why. It's a sad
neighborhood now.

Everywhere we go there,
we think of Mom and Dad.

The kids treat me
differently.
We will discuss this later.

Please think about it,
Aunt Helen.

OK, we got a train
to catch. Let's go.

(Helen) Henry, stop
brushing your teeth.

They're gonna fall out.

I can't get Hippo
in the bag.
Oh, give it to me.

OK.

There. He's in the bag.
Are you happy now?

(Helen) Henry!

Now, the only thing to do
would be to tell Aunt Jenny.

Thinking about it, Audrey.
I will think about it.

Tell her we voted.
I'll think about it,
Audrey.

I understand
the children's feelings,

but that's not
part of the plan.
That's your plan, Jenny.

All right, well,
what about the idea of not
selling Lindsay's house?

I know you guys offered
to pay the mortgage,
but it's enormous.

I spoke to the bank,
and the mortgage
is too much for us.

All right.
Besides being my idea,

what's wrong with moving
down the block?

I mean, I think the calm
of the familiar is better

than the overwhelming
hustle-bustle of the city.

Guys, can you please keep
the coloring on the eggs
and not each other?

Oh, no, no, no. No.

Jenny, Sarah thinks that
Hippo's parents are on vacation.

That they're coming back.

Henry walks around like a zombie
and draws skeletons.

Audrey is my only ally.
You really have to watch her.

Look, they're not happy.
And they've told me themselves.

They're not gonna be happy
anywhere right now.

OK, OK. Wait. Wait.
Let us talk for a minute.

Wait till you see what
the Easter Bunny brings.

He's gonna bring
lots more eggs.
The Easter Bunny's not coming.

The Easter Bunny joined 50 Cent.

(Audrey) Why are you
being a brat?
(Henry) You're a brat.

Helen is right.
A change might do them
some good.

And if it doesn't work out,
they can always move back here
to Jersey.

(Audrey) Ew, you got some
in my hair.

(Sarah) You know what?
You know what?
(Helen) Oh!

Oh, no.
You're not very good
at this, Aunt Helen.

Stop it!
Irwin's after ya!

Turtles carry...
carry diseases.
Stop it. Sarah, please.

We have to find an apartment.
We need to help Aunt Helen.

OK? By being quiet.

(smacks lips noisily)

(clicks tongue)

Stop it.

Stop.

(Helen clicks her pen)

(screams)

(Helen) No. Chelsea? No.

You know, I hear there's
some pretty decent stuff
in Queens.

No. We are not
bridge-and-tunnel people.

We are Manhattan people.

(gasps) Oh, wow.

Four bedrooms.
Close to Central Park.

The owner wants it rented
quickly, so he's asking

what is very reasonable
for a New York apartment.

Wow, graffiti.

Oh, sure, there's plenty of room
for a pull-out couch here.

about a visual security system.

This is my neighbor,

so maybe a play date sometime?

Oh! Oh, my goodness,
that would be wonderful.

Oh, great.

I'm Jenny, Helen's sister.
Hello.

Can I ask you
a special favor?
Yes.

Helen is new at being a mom.
Uh-oh.

Exactly.
These aren't her kids?

Our sister passed.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Bless her.

So, Nilma, if you could
from time to time...
Oh, absolutely.

And if they...
Which they will, no?

You could...
No problem.

That's all I'm asking.
OK, say no more, please.

Thank you so much.
OK, no problem.

Just mommy talk.
Oh, right.

So, Helen, where have you
decided to send the kids
to school?

Got it covered.

It's just middle school,

and you'll both have
to be separated,

all three of you.
(Sarah) No!

I know.
I vote against separation.

You know, maybe we should find
a school with less policemen
everywhere.

Hi. Yeah, she's pretty.

I mean, I'll just drop out
and get a job.

(Sarah) I like school.
I wanna go to school.
I want to.

(Henry) Aunt Helen,
you promised you'd find us
a school.

(Helen) Oh, God, help me.

(Helen) Slow down. Stop.

That was fast. Kids.

I mean, Lutheranism
has been in our family

for as long as Lutheran people
have been around.

Being a Lutheran
is the greatest.
I mean, right, kids?

Hippo wants to be
a Lutheran, too.

Hippo is a Lutheran.

I knew that God told us
to move here

so that we could attend
your fine school.

A good, solid education
taught our Lutheran way
is the best way.

I mean, isn't that right,
Father?
Pastor.

Father Pastor.
Pastor Parker.

Right.

Thank you for that
fine testimonial.

Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

Well. I'm just gonna need

the kids' transcripts and
blood tests, and they're in.

Blood tests?
Make sure they're
really Lutheran.

You'd be surprised how many
non-Lutherans try to sneak in.

I'm sure. Um, problem.

They're all hemophiliacs.
All three of them.

(whispering)
Can't take blood. Shh.

They're sensitive.
It's a joke.

Why would I joke
about hemophilia?

There's no blood test.
That's the joke.

Oh.

You don't have to be Lutheran
to go here. It's Queens.

There's, like, 50 Lutheran kids
in the whole neighborhood.

Shall we take a look around?

So we have space available.
Can you handle the tuition?

(Helen) Not a problem.
(Sarah) Tetherball!

Oh, yay!

Henry, we have basketball
courts, gym down there.

Saint Barbara's believes
in basketball.
Oh.

So what's the Lutheran take
on the afterlife?

Pretty much the standard
heaven, hell, purgatory thing?

Yeah, pretty much.
Old-school around here.

(Helen) Hey, so you wanna go
see the basketball courts?

No, I'm gonna go
play tetherball.
Oh, OK.

Play hard!
OK.

Pastor Dan.

Hello.

Excuse me.

Mrs. Fricker,
I know what you got there.

I made you some
special brownies.

Wow. You, uh...
I'm gonna...

He gets a lot of brownies.
I see that.

Mm. Better than last time.

Hi, I'm Phyllis Shore.
Helen Harris.

This is my daughter Lisa.
Hi, Lisa.

Will you be joining us
at Saint Barbara's?
I hope so.

Thank you.
I'll see you Sunday.
OK. Bye-bye.

See you Sunday night
at vespers.
See you at vespers.

See you at vespers.

You know what vespers is?

Some kind of scooter?

Close enough.

(Helen) We got ten minutes.
You don't want to be late

for your first day of school.

Audrey.

Please get out
of the bathroom.
(Audrey) I'm not in there.

(tearfully) Can't do it.
I don't remember how.

Sweetie.

I don't remember how.
What's the matter?

Your shoes?
Here, let me help you.

No! No!

Sarah, sweetheart,
we have to go to school.

OK? Let me help you.
No, no!

That's not how.
You don't know how.

Sweetheart, are you
nervous about today?

I mean, it's a big day
at school.

Mom was teaching her how to
tie her shoelaces just before.

Oh.

Right.

And I guess she had
a special way of tying them.

Well, your mom and I were
probably taught the same way.

Let me think.
Something about...

Bunnies.

Bunnies.

Right. Bunny ears.

You make two bunny ears,

bunny goes around the tree,

into the burrow,

pull tight.

Yeah. Yeah.

Hurry up, hurry up.
When will you be home
from work?

By dinnertime. Audrey's in
charge, so listen to her, OK?

I don't wanna listen to her.

Pastor Dan.
Pastor Dan.

Well, it's the four Lutherans.
Here we are.

Here you are.
Pastor Wells,

would you please show Henry
and Audrey to the home room?

Sure.

Hello, Audrey.
Bye.

Bye. Pay attention!
Sit up straight.

Good morning.
Wait, what about lunch?

Eat it, it's healthy.
I meant, we don't have any.

Oh! Right.
I'll take care of it.

Bye.

Can you break a 20?
Always got change
in the collection plate.

And kindergarten?
Right over here.

Oh, wow, look.
It's a juggling pastor, Sarah.

(laughs)

Hello, welcome.
Mrs. LaGambina.

Helen Harris.
This is Sarah.
Hello, Sarah.

Look at all this fun stuff.
You've got markers

and crayons, coloring books,
and all the nice people.

Hi. You're gonna have
such a good time.

(Mrs. LaGambina) We were all
drawing our favorite animal.

Lily was drawing a cat.

Sarah, do you want some crayons?

Oh, no, not those.
Those are the teacher's markers.

You'd better put your sweater
on. It's chilly outside.

OK, that was funny.
Sorry, Sarah.

You could've just told me.
More fun this way.

(Mrs. LaGambina)
Well, now, who's this?
(Sarah) Hippo.

Everybody, meet Hippo.

(Dominique) All right,
all right, all right.

Enough. Come on,
let's get started.

Hi, Lacey. Hey.

Helen.

I told you I'd make it back.
Good. Sit down, sweetie.

Who's that?
That's the intern.

Move over, intern.
Caitlin, move.

OK, good. Now, what about
the Armani deal?

Is that gonna be completed
in my lifetime?

Tom made it happen this morning,
and you're all set
for your trip to Miami.

Good.
You're gonna love it there.

Me?
Well, yes.
You're back, I need you.

Dominique, I...

I can't just pick up
and leave for a week right now.

Why?
(whispers) I have...

Oh. The babies. Hm.

All right, who wants to take
this little mummy's place

on a first-class trip to Miami?

Caitlin. You're on.
Helen will tell you
what to bring.

Don't wear any of those
midriff-baring outfits.
It's so last year.

And I want my luggage
Federal Expressed ahead of time.

Right, that's it.
Lacey, who am I having lunch
with today?

Was it Vogue or Elle or...?
Vogue at Cipriani.

OK. Good.

Good to have you back, sweetie.

We'll go over everything else
at the fashion show tonight.

Tonight?

Unless, of course, you've got
a Brownie meeting or something.

Oh, no, no, no.
I'll be there.

Good.
OK.

Hola!
(man) Sweetheart,
over here.

Hi.
Who's your date?

His name is Pâté.
(man #2) Big smile.

(man) Thank you,
ladies and gentlemen.

Please take your seats.
The show's about to begin.

That's Martina, the supermodel,
sitting next to Dominique.

Who are the ladies on the end?

Those are the agents we're
trying to steal her from.

Hello.
You have a lovely agency. Yes.

I think we should have lunch.

Take the houselights out
and go Cue One.

Hi, Teddy.
Hi. Kids, don't touch
the runway lights.

Excuse me. Pardon me.
Thanks.

Hey, hi.
(Audrey) Front row seats!

(Dominique) What's all this?
(Henry) There's no room.

(Helen) Can you squash down
just a little bit more?

Don't these children
live in Queens?
I know.

I know. I couldn't find
anybody to watch them.

But don't worry, you won't
even know they're here.

I'm here to work.

This child's wearing pajamas.

(Sarah) Aunt Helen, I'm hungry.

Well, you should've
eaten your hamburger.
It had onions.

OK. Take care of her a sec.
I'll be right back.

Keep an eye on her.
You're going?

Keep an eye on Sarah.

Hey, partner. Working on
your lingerie merit badge?

I'm a buyer from
Victoria's Secret.

You're with Helen and you should
go back to your seat.

Yeah. Go for Teddy.

Does my nose boogie look green?

Yes, as a matter of fact,
it does.

Sort of Prada green.
Not their best collection.
Put it back inside.

Come there now?

It's a little difficult

I'm working. Is she OK?

Helen. Give me the phone.

Yeah. Hi.

We'll be right there. OK.

Are you sure?
No problem.

Thank you.
We have plenty of time.

I know how it is.
I have a four-year-old.

Then I couldn't find
the burrow for the bunny.

I hate it when that happens.
Me too.

You guys wanna do my makeup?
(girls) Yeah.

Can I be a princess?
(girl) Yeah. You're pretty.

OK.

Sarah, you don't have to learn
to tie your shoes right now.

When you're ready to tie
your shoes, you will.

That's right.
Shoe-tying's tough.

Why do you think Jesus
wore sandals?

See ya.

Thanks, Pastor Dan.

Do I look pretty?
(girls) Yeah.

So, you wanna go play?
Everything's gonna be fine.

Thanks for doing this.
You're my savior.

I mean...
I know what you mean.

So, how are things going?

Fine.
Hm?

Fine.
Just fine?

Yeah. What do you mean?
Well, it's just that

I've noticed Audrey spending
too much time with the boys.

You know, that's normal
for what she's going through,

you know,
look for that attention,

but some of these kids
are not exactly angels,
you know what I mean?

They're 15.
It's teenage stuff.

It's harmless.
No, it's not really harmless,

'cause one of these punks
- his name's BZ -

I'm about to kick his butt
outta school.

Let's just get upstairs
before Henry finds the bowl.

Yeah, Henry. You said
the kid likes basketball.

He never, ever
picks up a ball.
I know. I've noticed that.

The thing with Sarah
and the shoes the other day,
that's not the first time...

Hey, what do you expect, Dan?

They've lost their parents,
they've moved to a new city,

changed schools,
changed religions.

Well, let's talk about some
things you could do at home.

You wanna know
what I've been doing at home?

I've been doing the best I can.

Do you have any idea what
this has done to my life?

Hey, Helen, do you have any idea
what it's done to theirs?

Hey, Pastor Dan,
Mr. Self-righteous,

I'm hanging on by a thread here.

I lost my sister,
my social life,

my disposable income,

my ability to fit
into a size two

and - this just in - my job.

Pretty much the only two things
that haven't disappeared

are my nicotine fits
and the few pounds

that have recently taken up
residence on my ass.

So forgive me if I'm not too
thrilled about being lectured,

in Queens,

about being a lousy legal
guardian to three kids

who maybe shouldn't have been
given to me in the first place.

Well, they weren't given to you.

They were entrusted to you
by their mother, who...

Don't you talk about Lindsay!

Don't you dare talk
about Lindsay!

You didn't know her.

Gimme the turtle.
That was outta line.
I'm sorry.

Dan, give me the damn turtle.

Don't.

Honest. We need an honest
commercial, Ravi. All right?

I'm sorry.
Ms. Helen Harris. OK.

you must whip it.
Give me my letter.

Before the cream..."

Jenny, give me my letter.

What is it with you two

It's ridiculous.
I don't get it.

Exactly!
What are you saying?

That that's the point?
That I'm no fun?

That I don't get things?
That I never make jokes?

Show me your letter.

No!

No? No?
What do you mean "no"?

We said you would read my letter
and I would read yours.

This is not a letter.

These are lyrics.
Nonsensical lyrics.

This is not a letter!

you could read my letter,
but this is not a letter!

bitter, colossal bitch!

Um, let's all go
into the living room

and listen to Jasmine
play the piano with one arm.

You just wanna prove that
you're a better mother than me

and that Lindsay was wrong.

Why would I need to prove that?

Of course I'm a better
mother than you!

I've been doing it forever.
But does that matter? No.

She still chose you over me.

Exactly!
She chose, Jenny. Not me.

I had no control over it.

You're angry with me
because of a decision
that she made for me.

Merrily, merrily,
merrily, merrily

Life is but...

I am giving up everything
for these kids,

and you have no idea
what that's like.

I don't know what it's like?
How do you think I got this way?

Whatever this way is that's so
particularly unfun and funny.

Who changed your diapers?
Oh, don't start with that.

Mom died when I was seven.

Who fed you?
Who baby-sat you?

Lindsay was there, too.

Lindsay was in New York,
trying to be a dancer

and I was at home
not having a normal childhood

'cause I was too busy
being your mommy.

And you're Tra-La-La Helen.

So... free.

Miss Party-Party-
All-Night-Long

and I never ever got

Not once.

birthday parties, you know?

You got a fake ID?
Of course.

Nurse Wilson says he's OK.

When is Henry gonna play,
Aunt Helen?

Uh...

Hey, Coach.
This isn't the NBA Finals.

What happens to
"everybody plays"?
Why don't you put Henry in?

3, 2, 1.

And Saint Barbara's wins.

Excuse me.
Yes?

Hi. Excuse me.
What is your problem?
Aunt Helen, please.

I know, I...
He could be one
of your best players.

He doesn't wanna play
so you need to square
that away with him.

You're the coach.
(Henry) Forget about it.

I'm gonna go change.

I'm sorry that I yelled
at you, Dan,

but I've been battling
with the kids,

and I'm fighting with my sister,

and we're too stubborn
to talk to each other.

I guess I'm just edgy.

Hey, nobody ever said
it was gonna be easy. Right?

Yeah, try doing it on your own.

We got a lot of people
around here who do.

Matt Higgins' mom,
she took a pay cut-

she works out of her house.

And Tommy Meyers' dad is
with the kids all day long,
then he works at night.

I mean, it's tough,
but it can be done.

Hey, you know what you need?
A nanny.

But I can't afford one.

You need some fun.
I'm just the man to provide it.

What are you doing on Sunday?

Going to church, of course.
Yeah, right.

Nice try.

You and the kids.
Sunday afternoon.

What do you have in mind?

Today we're at
the Central Park Zoo,

where every spring
a prayer is said,

blessing the animals
and the newborn babies.

(reporter) Pastor?

Dear Lord, we humbly ask
that you bless these animals

and all your creatures
throughout the world.

Blessed are You, Lord. Amen.

OK, who wants a private tour
of the zoo, huh?

(Sarah) Yeah!

Pastor Dan!

Hey, Helen. I'm a pastor.

I'm a Lutheran minister.
I can date.

I can get married, have kids,
watch dirty movies.

Oh, really?
Yeah.

OK, I can't watch dirty movies,
but we're pushing for it,

so, you know...
What d'you say?

I'm really flattered, Dan,
but I...

I can't. I'm sorry.

I had a great day,
though, today.

OK.

Pastor Dan just asked me out.

(Audrey) That is so weird.

I can hear ya.
I'm still right here, OK?

Go... go inside and do that.

(sighs)
Way to go, Pastor Dan.

The guy on stilts
was a great gimmick.

It beats balloons and bunting.

Thank you so much.

There are a couple of customers
wandering outside.

Focus the wanderers.

(Helen over PA) Sales associate
to the parking lot, please.

Sales associate
to the parking lot.

Sales associate?

Leo. The guy on stilts
is looking down my shirt.

Hey! Mini-Me. Watch I don't

Hi. Helen Harris.
Welcome to Massey Motors.

Leo Dileo.
Pleasure.

Ahem!
And that's Rene DeCarlo.

Hi, Rene.
Hi.

All right, Leo, let's see

if we can find you something
you like. Follow me.

You know, I bought a lot
of used cars, but...
Previously owned.

We got a nice silver Volvo
over there.

It's a great family car.
I mean, if you have family.

Just a rich bachelor.
That's what I thought.

You don't want this one.
Oh, wow.

Oh, I forgot we had this baby.

I think I know why.
It looks like a jukebox.

Oh, only a handful
of these were made.

Earmarked for
special customers only.

Like in the old days

when guys like Elvis Presley
and Frank Sinatra

used to special-order their cars
right from the factory.

You're kidding.
Sir, three things
we don't joke about:

Elvis, Sinatra and Lincolns.

But, like I said, for
special customers only.

Honey, I own every
hot dog stand in Rockaway.

Not the beach,
but, still, I can afford

to pay well over sticker
for this. And cash.

It's getting a little windy.
Are you sure it's all right?

(man) Yeah, it's OK.
OK. You sure?

You want a deal
on a previously owned car?
Then come to Massey Motors,

where you can see me,
Mickey Massey. It's a...

(groans)
(knocks) Mickey, Mickey.

You're not gonna believe it.
She sold it.

Bye, Leo. Drive safely.

She gets a ham.

(laughs)

Yes, I did.

Hey, kids. I'm home.

Do we have mustard?
I don't know. Why?

Because we got ham.
I sold a car!

Yay, Aunt Helen!
Go long, Henry, go long!

And she takes him down.
(Helen) Who's got
the pigskin now?

I don't know.

OK.

Hey. What's up?

Hippo's mommy and daddy
are still on vacation.

We're gonna go slice the ham.

I'm the man,
I should slice the ham.
You're no man.

They've been gone a long time.

That's because they went
really far away.

Where did they go?

Honey?
Sarah, where did they go?

Heaven.

That's right, sweetie.
That's right.

And now there's no one
to give him a birthday party.

When's Hippo's birthday?
Now.

Now?

Say "Hippo."

Hippo!

It's a keeper.
Oh, great.

Vince, thanks again for doing
this on such short notice.

You're sure hanging out
with a new crowd these days.

Yeah, well, tonight
is a very special night.

You see, it's Hippo's...
Ooh, excuse me.

The VIPs. Excuse me.

Hey, Vince.
We're here to celebrate.

Devon just got
the new Polo campaign.

Yeah, he's the Ralph Lauren
underwear guy.

(Vince) Congratulations.

Hey, Devon. Congrats.

Are you ready
for your dessert?
Yes, please.

Can I get you coffee or tea?

Ooh, can I get
a cappuccino, please?

Decaf. And I'll have
a real one.

OK.
And I'll have
a Singapore Sling.

Hey, Jerome. Excuse me, Jerome.

Hi. Do you think you could
sing "Happy Birthday"?

Who's the birthday kid?
Actually,
it's Hippo's birthday.

You want me to sing
to a Hippo?
Yeah.

I'll take care of it.
Thank you.

All right. What do we got?
Ooh, skulls.

Another round
of double-cherry

Oh, no, no. At 12.50 a pop,
I don't think so.

And this is for you, Helen.

No, no. I packed lunch.
I packed lunch.

You relax.
You're a free woman.

Go and have fun.
We should be back at 5:00

It's really not that big
of a deal, Dan.

Hey, she was caught
making out with BZ.

OK, not so good.
While cutting class.

Also not so good.
In a balcony in my church.

How can I come down on her

for something we were caught
doing a few days ago?

Because you're the adult
and she's the child.

She's gotta know you're serious.

Kids need boundaries.
You know that.

But, Aunt Helen, it's a big deal

that a senior asked me
to the prom.

I mean, what do you want me
to do? Find another senior?

Yes.

Audrey, I wanna treat you
like an adult,

but I do not want you to go
to the prom with BZ.

If you go with him,
I'll be very disappointed.

OK.
OK.

So, will you help me
find a dress?
Yes, I'll find you a dress.

OK.

In the balcony of the church?

Seemed like a good idea
at the time.

You are so going to hell.
Hey.

Spider!

OK. Cradle.

All right, guys. Shoot.

Whoo!

OK. Hit the showers.

Henry, pick up the balls.

Hey. Gimme one of those.
Come on.

Let's go. Take a shot.

Come on. You gotta get
fired up for your game.

I am. Can't you tell?

(sarcastically) Yahoo.

Oh, Henry.

OK. Henry?

Let's talk.

You used to love to play sports.

Sit down.

You and your dad
used to play basketball

till it was too dark
to even see the hoop.

Even when I missed,
he'd always count it.

He called it "Giving me
the benefit of the dark."

It's OK to smile about it.
No, it's not.

And it's OK to play sports.
No.

Why?
Because he can't
play anymore.

Because everyone kept saying
Mom and Dad are up in heaven

and they're looking
down on us always.

Well, if he is,
I'm not gonna make him
feel bad about not playing.

Like if you're having
a good time without him,

you're rubbing it in?

Yeah.

Henry. The only thing sadder
than them not being here

is knowing that
by not being here,

you're not doing what you love.

They want you to be happy.

But then it's like
I'm just forgetting them.

No, it's not. No.

'Cause every time you smile

or laugh

or enjoy your life,

it makes their dreams come true.

Besides, if they are
looking down,

you really want them to be
stuck watching a lousy game?

No. My dad hates a lousy game.

Ooh...

Come on.

Yeah!

Yes. I am the senior-class
treasurer. And I just...

I want to say that
I'm very honored

to be taking Audrey
to my prom tonight.

I want you to know that.

Thank you. Breathe.

Hey. Take a look.
I got a wig on.

(Audrey) I'm gonna come out now.

How do I look?

You look just like your mother.

Thank you, Peter.

OK. We're gonna go.
Wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait.

I wanna... We have
to have a picture.

OK, get closer. Smile.

All right, welcome
to the senior prom -

Bridges of Friendship.

Coming up next: ladies' choice.

I hear there's actually
some punch in the vodka.

(DJ) Guys, your choice later.

Who is it?
(Dan) Uh, prom king.

(giggles)

Hey, I thought we could
have our own little prom.

Where's the little kids at?
They're sleeping.

Doesn't the principal

Dan. That was the school.
Audrey left the prom with BZ.

BZ was bragging about
taking her to a motel.

What motel?
They wouldn't say.

OK. They're gonna tell me.
Just come here.

Hello?

Hey.

Thank you.

Nothing yet.

Jenny, we have called

BZ has a car,
he could be anywhere.

They could be in the middle

Helen...

Did you let her
have a credit card?
No.

OK. What about your credit
cards? Check your wallet.

I'm having a banana.

My Visa's gone.
OK.

I'm gonna call Visa and check
your recent activity.

No. But I love you very much

and I will be your worst
nightmare if you don't
get in that car now!

Well, we'll fix it later.

I can and will bury you

Yes, ma'am.

By the way,
you're not a bad person,

but this is very bad behavior.

Very bad behavior.

I'm never speaking
to either of you.

She's gonna be fine.
She's gonna be just fine.

It was so nice to meet you.
And thank you for your help.

Sure.
So. Come here.

So I'll just come pack up
the kids in the morning,
and, um...

You're doing the right thing.

You are.

OK.

So good night.

Good night, Jenny.

You want me to make you

No, thanks.

Why didn't you say something?

Seemed you didn't
want me to know.

Sarah, honey, why don't you
go play with turtle

and figure out a name for him?

I just couldn't stand
the idea of you

losing something else
you cared so much about.

Can I put him in a bowl?

Sarah, you wanna help
Henry with the turtle?

Can I name him Hippo?

Why do you want
to name everything Hippo?

Because I can spell it.

Audrey, sweetie,
can you do me a favor

and get me your wallet?

Why?

Could you just do it, please?

Open it up and
give me your fake ID.

Why?

Because I said so, that's why.

I'm not gonna give it to you.
I'm not a child.

Yes, you are.

You are a child, Audrey,

and you have a right
to a childhood

and you should fight for it.

But if you won't, then I will.
Now, give me your ID.

That was very adult of you.

You tricked me.

I thought you were on my side,
but you're just like her!

I hate you.

Do you hear me? I hate you!

Well,

I'm just gonna have
to live with that.

Well, we don't have to
decide this tonight.

(gasps) Oh, Jenny.
What are you doing?

At first, I didn't agree
with this letter,

but...

Sit down.

No, I think I'll swing.
In fact, you know what they say?

What?
It's not over till
the fat lady swings.

See? I can make a joke.

"Dear Jenny,

if you're reading this,
you know that I'm gone,

and I asked Helen to be
the guardian for the kids."

(Lindsay's voice)
"And you're probably
freaked about it.

"Yes, it's a surprising choice,

considering that you are
the most incredible mother
I've ever known.

"If you find this letter odd,

understand that my
always-be-prepared Paul

convinced me to write it now,
while our children are young.

(Sarah makes popping sound)

"You must know from experience

that when it comes to
picking somebody else

to raise your kids,
no one seems right.

"No one is you.

(mouths)

"And so you choose someone
who is most like you.

(mouths)

"Someone that will give the
kids a taste of their real mom.

"The mom they lost
and never really got to know.

"In so many ways,
we are so much alike.

"That's why I chose Helen.

They're all yours.

"Of course, she'll have lots
of fights with the kids,

yet she'll find a way
to make up.

Welcome to the mamahood.

"I know sometimes
she messes things up

"and makes big mistakes.

"On the other hand,
she also makes big comebacks.

"Respect her, Jenny.
Give her a shot.

"We're family,
and I'm counting on you

to keep everyone together.

"I know Helen
will certainly need some help

learning how to be
a mother to my kids...

but I've got you for that,

and who could be better?"

OK.

"After all, you raised Helen.

"You'll teach her
how to be a mom.

"Just like you taught her
how to tie her shoes.

"I can still hear you
telling her:

The bunny goes around
the tree and into the burrow."

Pull tight.

Yes!
(Henry) It's about time, Sarah.
