Now, let me just
get this straight.

You're telling me that today
is the only day we can have
this meeting,

which happens to be
Christmas Eve

and also my daughter's
birthday, thank you very much.

Let's play geography.
California.

Arkansas.
Arkansas?

Does that end with
an "A" or a "W"?

An "S."

Saudi Arabian Desert.

You already used Saudi Arabia.

Not the desert.

What's going on?

Timbuktu.
Okay, you just
made that up.

I did not.
It's a real place.

Fine.

"U", "U..." What
starts with "U"?

Up.
Up? Up isn't a place.

Yes, it is.

It's up there.

You're such a dork.

That's better.

What's their story?

Those poor boys.

The woman, Annie Binkow,

is the owner of the traveling
circus where the boys work.

Their mother is the fat lady,

and their father swallows
swords and tames lions.

Name of the circus?
Annie's Big Top Spectacular

and Lion Extravaganza.

The performers are forced
to entertain alien children

who have three heads
and six feet.

And aliens don't applaud
like us, you know.

What do they do instead?
They tap dance.

Coolest story ever.

Well, that was
a total waste of time.

They actually wanted me
to mount a musical about
teenage vampires.

I mean, who in their
right mind wants to
go to the theater

and watch a lot of
singing vampires?

(BOTH LAUGH)

Well, that looks like
it must've been delicious.

I didn't eat it
all by myself.

We shared it.

Well, honey, I think maybe
you've had enough. Time to go.

But we're celebrating
my birthday.
Thank you.

Hurry up. We've certainly
spent enough time here.

Are you okay?

Remember when I was little

and I thought if
I closed my eyes that
nobody could see me?

Yeah.

I wish I still
believed that.

Don't look now, but I see
the prettiest girl I've ever
seen in my whole life.

Where?

To your left, but
don't look too fast.

I bet she's pretty
tired of people staring
at her all the time.

A little more.

A little more.

Do you know why we get
your birthday present
at Tiffany's every year?

Because it's our
favorite store,

and a girl should never depend
on a man to buy her jewelry.

Quite right. You are
the only person you can
count on in this world.

What people call true
love is only for fairytales
and greeting cards.

She's wrong.

Real love, true love
lasts forever and ever.
It never goes away.

Come on, let's go get
something gorgeous.

It's beautiful.
I know.

Look at that diamond.

It sparkles so much.

Look at that big one.

Excuse me, sir.
Do you work here?

I'm looking for the most
beautiful jewelry
in the entire store.

Can you help me? Okay,
that's great. Show me
everything you have.

Come on, let's go
see over here.

Look at that.
Look at that, Michael.

It's so yellow.

It's so me.
Would you like to
try something on?

Yes, please.
I'd like that one.

Wonderful choice.

Okay.

There you go.

It's so beautiful.

She's gonna love this.

Yes, I love it. Don't you,
Michael? It's so beautiful.

Your daughter
is so imaginative.

We're a very
theatrical family.
It's so yellow and pretty.

Shall I wrap it up for you?

I wish.

When you grow up and
get married, that will
be your wedding ring.

It's yellow. You're
supposed to wear a
diamond when you get married.

That's the rule.
Some rules were
made to be broken.

You should have a ring
that tells the world you
are Jane. You're special.

That's a yellow diamond.
It's very special.

Perfect. In that case,
it really is your ring.

It's almost 5:15.
I'll be double digits.

Ten years old.
The age of awareness.

The year you start making
your own decisions.
The year you...

The year you start to
let go of your childhood.

What are you talking about?

You're ready to stand
on your own two feet.

It's time for me to go.

Go where?

I'm going to have
to leave at 5:15,
the moment you were born.

What?

Why? For how long?

Forever.

No, you can't do that.

We're only allowed to stay
until our child turns 10.

After that, all imaginary
friends have to leave.

That's not fair.

You'll be okay.
You're smart and
creative and strong.

Why didn't you tell me
this was gonna happen?

I tried. I looked for the
perfect moment. It just never
seemed to be the right time.

I won't let you leave.
I forbid it.

I don't have a choice.
It's the rules.

You said rules were
made to be broken.

Not this one.

I want to come with you.

You can't.

This is the first place we
met, so this is the place
we have to say goodbye.

But I'll miss you too much.

After I'm gone, you
won't even remember me.

But you're the only
one who knows
everything about me.

You're my best friend
in the whole world.

I love you.

I love you, too.

You're crying.

I've never seen you cry.

I am?

You're in my heart.
Love is never being apart.

Michael! Michael!
Michael! Michael!

Michael!

Wait! Open!
Hey, what is it?

Open the door, please!
I have to get something!

What's wrong?
Michael's in there!

Your son?
No, no, no. It's
nothing, it's nothing.

It's just her
imaginary friend.

No! He's real!
He's in there!

Look.

There he is. There's your
little friend. Hi, Michael.

He's gone, and he's
never coming back.

Look what I got you.

I got you this beautiful
necklace that you
can wear forever.

Now, maybe this
is for the best.

Maybe you don't
need him anymore.

I do need you, Michael.

Jane!

I know.

Jane, what are you
doing over there?

Get over here.

It's vintage.
I love it.

Do you want to borrow
my wedding dress?

That is very sweet,
but I've got things
under control.

Really? That's not what
you said last week.

I can't believe you're
marrying Dr. Sellars.

He's not Dr. Sellars anymore.

He'll always be
Dr. Sellars to me.

Every Tuesday night,
9:00, the doctor was in.

These are presents for
my beautiful bridesmaids.

I hope you like them.
It's beautiful.

Okay. Let's get this
party started.
Do it.

Tequila.

To Jane.
ALL: To Jane.

And Hugh.
ALL: And Hugh.

(PHONE RINGING)

(ANSWERING MACHINE TONE)

Hey, Jane, don't
forget to watch me on
Good Morning, New York.

I go on at 9:30 or something.
I'll meet you after. Love you.

I went to see your play
Barrymore Speaks last week,

and I have to say
I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thank you. Yeah, the theater
is a new medium for me and...

But I had great
material to work with.

And being so close to
the audience and feeling
their immediate response,

it's intoxicating.

Now, so many people still
think of you as cardiac
surgeon Dr. Mark Sellars

from the hit primetime
series Emergency Heights.

(APPLAUSE)
Thank you. Thank you. Wow.

Does that bother you at all?
How could it?

It was a great role
to play and it's in
reruns all over the world.

(ANSWERING MACHINE TONE)

Hello, dear. It's your mother.
Just a gentle reminder.

I just think it's astonishing
that you haven't finished
planning your wedding.

A wedding, I might add,
that will take place
in less than 30 days.

There's a surprise on
Page Six for you this
morning. You're welcome.

Do you know what they
call it in Hong Kong?

(SPEAKING CANTONESE)

Do you know what that means?
INTERVIEWER: No.

Well, it means
"very handsome doctor."

This is Jane Claremont again.

My shower still isn't
working, so I would
really appreciate it

if you could stop by
and take a look at it, okay?

And if I don't hear
from you this time,

I will be forced to lodge
a complaint with
the plumbers' union

or the Better Business Bureau.
Okay, thanks so much. Bye.

Hello, sweetheart.
Hello, Mrs. Greenberg.
Hello, Coco.

I am gonna pick up
treats for you on
the way home.

That's so sweet
of you, dear.

Without them,
he gets anxious
and despondent.

I know he does. Okay,
have a great day.
You, too.

Good morning,
beautiful neighbor.

Thank you.

Fifteen, 17, 19, 21, 28.

Bonus number is 24.
You remembered.

Well, you play the same
numbers every week. All
of your wives' birthdays.

And I got lucky
with all of them.

You've written
an autobiography.
Yes.

It's about to be released.

Now, you're so young.

What made you decide
to write about your
life at this point?

I feel like I'm
several chapters
into my life now,

and I wanted to put
down on paper the me
that I've been

on the way to becoming
the me I'll be.

One last thing
before I let you go.
Okay.

You're engaged.
Yes.

You proposed to your fiancee,
Jane Claremont, live

on The Tonight Show
six months ago.

Was that planned? Was it
a spur of the moment thing?

Meredith, if being in love is
something that can be planned,

then, yes, it was
spur of the moment.

Good morning,
Mrs. Morrison. It's ready.

I'm not Mrs. Morrison
just yet.

It's so beautiful.

Thank you so much
for getting it done so fast.

My pleasure.

So what's it like?
Excuse me?

What's it like being
engaged to Hugh Morrison?

Is he just like Dr. Sellars
on Emergency Heights?

So romantic.
He's your soul
mate, isn't he?

Your one true love?
The man that completes you?

Well, yeah. I mean, I guess,
if there is such a thing as
a soul mate, he would be mine.

Thank you so much.
You're welcome.

(CAR SCREECHING AND HONKING)

Hey! What are you doing?

(CAR HONKING)

Come on!

Get out of the street!

Are you talking to me?

Yeah, I'm talking to you!
I don't see anyone else
standing there!

You can see me?

Yeah, I can see
you, nut job!

Come on! Get the hell
out of the way! Move it!

Rockefeller Center, please.

Be totally honest. How was I?
Are you kidding?

I thought Meredith
was gonna jump over
and sit in your lap.

You were wonderful.

Dr. Sellars. Why do
they always bring up
ancient history?

Why can't they just
focus on my new work?

She talked about
the book and the play.

Yeah, I know, but...

Look.
Wow.

I got it sized.

That is a beautiful ring.
Yeah.

Someone must love
you very much.

See us on Page Six?
I know. I'm sorry.

My mother loves to use you
for publicity for the theater.

No, I think it's cute.

Speaking of my book,
Little, Brown
Publishing called.

They want me to read
an excerpt of it before
the signing at Barnes & Noble.

That's so exciting.
I know, right?

(SHIVERS)

Honey, I told you
to wear a heavier coat.
You're gonna get sick.

I know. I know.

Okay, I have to go
to the theater.

How are the wedding
plans going?
Almost done.

Good. Everything's gonna
be perfect. I can't wait
to make you my wife.

I love you. Bye.
Love you more.

You did this?
You're welcome.

I still have a few
connections with the press.

What makes you think
that I want a picture
of me and Hugh

kissing in the newspaper?

We need all the
publicity we can get.

We're sold out until
the end of the run.
I know.

Isn't it wonderful?

You know, I was thinking,
maybe we should just
extend for six weeks,

taking a break for
the wedding and the
honeymoon and all that,

and then come back in January
for a really limited run.

I think that Hugh made it
very clear that he wants
to be available for films.

Well, we'll just have
to take that risk.

I mean, if he gets a movie,
we'll hire someone else.

Does George Clooney
do stage? Oh, my God!

You've got the ring.

It's stunning.

Tell me you
found the dress.
I found the dress.

I really think that
the Vera Wang was perfect.

Fact, Cameron Diaz
actually tried it on.
Rumor, she's engaged.

Question, I heard that
she dated Hugh Morrison
a couple years ago.

I'll ask him and
get back to you.

Statement, my mom and
I love him. You are so
lucky to be marrying him.

I like it. It's just,
there's something that's
not right about it,

and it has to be perfect.

I know. You've tried
every dress on in
the salon, three times.

I know. I'm sorry.
I just... I can't decide.

No, I'm sorry. My lunch
hour's only so long

and my next patient
is 15 and still
dresses like SpiderMan.

I gotta go. Good luck.

Thanks. You, too.

Hi. Jane?

Yeah.

I'm sorry. Have
we met before?

No one ever remembers
me after I leave.

Wait a minute. Was it
at the... The thing
last week...

We were best friends
when you were a little girl.

So we went to school together?
Yeah, I went with
you every day.

I helped you study. We...

Long division was a nightmare
for me always, but you
always got it right away.

Okay, we made a volcano
out of clay one time.

And we put dry ice,

and we put Pop Rocks inside
of it, and it erupted all
over the classroom.

And Mr. Lee, he choked
on his coffee and it came
shooting out of his nose.

Wow, it's so great
to see you again.

Yeah, it's great
to see you again.

Jacqueline, I'm telling
you, I've seen him twice

in different parts of the
city and now he's here.

The guy is definitely
stalking me.

Stalking you? Are you
sure? It's probably
just a coincidence.

Is he cute?

Well, yeah, but what
difference does that make?

I mean, Ted Bundy was
kind of cute, right?

Okay, he's gone. All right.

Yeah, I know. It's so weird.

Jane...
Got to go. Why are
you following me?

Answer me right now,
or I will mace you.

That's a PEZ dispenser.
You still love candy.

Do you remember freezing
Milk Duds and melting
them in hot milk?

It's the best.
Why are you here?

I don't know.
I only can assume it's
because you need me.

So what's wrong?
How can I help you, Jane?

No, no, no.
I can assure you that
I do not need you.

And if you don't
leave me alone,
I'm calling 911.

Do you remember when
we called 911 because
your goldfish Charlie died?

Paramedics were not happy.
How did you know that?

I...
No.

Don't answer that,
because I want you
to leave me alone.

You've grown into
a beautiful woman, Jane.

That's it. I am
calling the police.

Jane, Jane, it's me.

Your imaginary friend
from age five and
threequarters to 10.

Yes, well, am I being
punk'd right now?
Because this is weird.

Are there hidden cameras?
Is this a reality show?

Listen, the carousel in
Central Park. You always
had to have the pink pony.

What little girl didn't
want the pink pony?

I always rode behind you.

Stay!

What's wrong with you?

I'm not sure. You?

My mother says
I'm depressed
and delusional.

My mother used to tell
me the same thing.

BOTH: Mothers.

I'll just be one second.

Okay.
Okay.

What are you doing here?
Are you okay?

I'm having a mental breakdown.

Just choose a wedding dress.
You'll feel better.

I'm being followed
by a figment of
my imagination.

That stalker you
called me about?

He says he's my imaginary
friend from when
I was a little girl.

The thing is, I actually
had an imaginary friend
when I was little.

And there are things about
my childhood, things that
there's no way he could know.

He probably found
you on Facebook.

I bet he's an actor.
He just wants a part
in your new play.

You know what?
You're probably right.

Okay.

So how are the
wedding plans going?

I can't seem to make
any decisions.
Nothing is perfect.

That's because
nothing is perfect.

You just have to find
something you like and buy it.

I can't. It's too hard.

You know what they say about
people who can't make
the little decisions

leading up to
the big decision?

Please don't start
this again. Hugh
is perfect for me.

You've only known him a year.

He proposed to you
on latenight television.
You couldn't say no.

I didn't wanna say no.
I love him.

Okay, okay.

I have to see my next
patient. You'd like him.

He arrives with
an invisible four-foot
tall rabbit named Paul.

Very funny. Very funny.

Bye.
Bye.

Jane.

Oh, my God.
You have got to
stop following me.

If you're an actor and you
want an audition, have your
agent call the theater.

I don't have an agent.
Well, you should get one

because you are
freaking me out.

I'm freaked out,
too, okay?

I've never been freaked
out before, so imagine
my surprise.

Jane, Jane, I need you
to help me figure out...

Enough, enough, enough,
enough. You've got
to stop following me.

I left you on your 10th
birthday at 5:15, the
moment you were born.

I told you I had to leave
and you cried when I got
into the elevator.

How did you know that?

I'm Michael.

Michael?

Yeah.

What...

Did that hurt?

If "hurt" means my face
is on fire and my eyes are
watering, then, yeah, it hurt.

I'm really sorry.

It's just, you brought up
a painful memory for me.

Michael broke my
heart. I cried for
weeks when he left.

How can you be Michael?

I don't know.
I'm just as surprised
that I'm here as you are.

It just doesn't make sense.

I know.

I mean, I get that
when I was little,

I was lonely and I needed
an imaginary friend.

But now, my life is perfect.

You know, I have a great job,
a great apartment.

I'm engaged to a man that
most women would die to marry.

And imaginary friends
are imaginary. So I got
to go to work.

What the hell.

All right, catch me up. Tell
me everything that's happened
to you since you were 10.

That's like 28 years.

I don't know. I grew up.

This is amazing.

It's a donut.

Hey.

What's the story
with those two?

They're making snowflakes
for the holiday show.

No, I mean, their
secret lives.

I don't really know them.

You don't play the
story game anymore?

No. No, no. I'm an adult
now. I don't really play
any games anymore.

You know, I have a job
and a life and places
that I have to be.

So, it was great
to see you again.

Great in a delusional, out
of my mind, "hope to wake
up soon" kind of way.

I've missed your
sense of humor.

You know what?
One more question.

Why didn't you
become a pastry chef?

Or a writer?
I chose to manage
a theater.

Your mother's theater.
Yeah.

That wasn't your life's dream.
I was 10.

People don't become
what they wanted to
when they were kids.

Otherwise, all little boys
would be firefighters
or dump truck drivers,

and all little girls
would become Madonna.

I know, but it's...

I grew up.

I'm defending myself
to a mirage.

I'm telling you, Peter,
it's like she doesn't
believe in me anymore.

She acts like she's
scared of me or something.

Do you blame her?
You scared me, too, showing
up all big and human.

It still freaks me out
a little. I just don't
understand.

Me, neither. You know,
it's like I got a foot
in both worlds.

You see me. They see me.

I'm really good at this.

Of course you're good.
You're, like, 10 feet tall.

So what do I do?
I don't know.

I guess you're just gonna
have to ride it out and
wait for reassignment.

It shouldn't be long. The way
the world is right now,
we're spread pretty thin.

So, when's her birthday?

That's probably
your exit date.
You think?

You may be temporarily human,
but the rules are rules.

We come when they
need us, and we leave
on their birthdays.

Her birthday's December 24.

You better figure out
what she needs so you
can get back to normal.

Right.

I got to go.
Okay.

He shows up and
just expects me to accept

that he's like this
imaginary ghost from my
childhood or something.

I mean, that's crazy, right?

I am a logical,
rational person.

I mean, I don't drink
excessively. I don't do drugs.
I pay my taxes on time.

I am obsessive
about recycling.

And part of me wants
to believe that it
really is Michael,

and then there's a part of me
that just thinks I should
have myself committed.

Do you think I'm
losing my mind?

So the producers
loved the show tonight.
Maury called.

He thinks I'm being considered
for the lead role in a feature
film, a romantic comedy.

I always knew something
like this would happen.

I mean, can you imagine
what this will mean for me?

You get one lead role,
the rest just follows,
and I'm back!

Did you see that
was Hugh Morrison?
Jane.

You seem like
you're miles away.

No, I just had a weird day.

What's the matter?
Are you okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I ran
into someone today.

Really? Who?
Found you. Yes.

You must be Jane's friend.

Hi.

Hugh, this is Michael,
my friend from childhood.

And we ran into
each other today.
That's fantastic.

Hi. Good to see you.
Hey.

Can I sit down?

Yeah, of course.
Of course, please.
Yeah, please do.

Michael, this is
Hugh, my fiance.

So, honey, we should
probably look at the menu,

because, you know,
if the waitress comes over

and I don't know what I want,
that'll send her away,

then it takes 20 minutes for
her to come back, and that's
a long time, so...

So what do you do?

I'm a friend for children
who need a little support.

A teacher. He's a teacher.

A teacher. My mother
was a teacher.

That's such
a noble profession.

She used to say,
"Teaching feeds
the soul of a child."

I had a teacher once who
inspired me to read the
works of Tolstoy and Camus...

Jane. Jane used to
read the works of
Nancy Drew mysteries.

Michael. Michael,
I don't remember
you mentioning...

What is your last name?

Friend.

Michael Friend.

Michael Friend.

You know,
we used to call him
the Friendster.

Michael Friend is
a good name for me.

It's a great name. Yeah.

Finally. We're both gonna
have the chicken marsala

with the vegetables
instead of the potatoes.

Can you ask them
to hurry it, too, please?

Doesn't that come
with mushrooms?

I mean, just checking,
because I know you...
Mushrooms make you throw up.

Yeah, I'm allergic.
You are?

Yeah.
I didn't know that.

It's okay. I'll just
eat around them.

Well, why don't you get
something different, that
won't make you sick?

Okay, yeah, I will have
the spaghetti bolognese.

That sounds great. I'll also
do that. Hugh, you wanna
change your order, too?

No. Pasta this late
at night? No, thank you.

Come on. It gives you energy
for later when you guys
wrestle around in bed.

She's a tough cookie,
am I right or am I right?

Right.

So, Hugh, you're
marrying Jane.

Wow, you are so lucky.
Tell me what you
love about her.

I love...

She's so organized.

You know, she has my
whole life on track.
She has me on a schedule.

It really works, too.

I mean, she's the reason
I got my book done in time.

Well, those are things you
can accomplish with a datebook
and a clock, though.

What do you love about her?

Michael, I'm not sure
I understand your question.

Well, you know, I mean,
she's super funny.

Isn't she?

Come on. She's
incredibly creative.

I personally love how when
she runs and her ponytail
just swings from side to side.

It's great.

And you got to love
how she sings in her sleep.

You slept together?
Well, she doesn't
like to sleep alone.

We napped together
in kindergarten on a mat.

Michael...
Totally innocent.

So, are you married?

No. No. You know, I'm never
in one place very long.

My work kind of takes me all
over the world, so I'm never
sure where I'm gonna be sent.

Dr. Sellars, would you
mind signing our menu?

Sure.

Wait, you're a doctor?

No, he's an actor.

An actor?

Well, we must've seen him
in one of the million movies
we watched together?

Well, Michael, good
to meet you. Hope to see
you again sometime.

You, too. Thank you for paying
for dinner, by the way.
I don't have money.

I know. Teachers are
so underappreciated.

I mean, when you compare
their salaries to what
actors make, it's...

I've never needed
it until today.

Yeah, right, it's a whole
different world.

No, the world is still
the same. I'm the one
who's changed.

Yeah.

Got you last.

Yeah, okay.
Take care.

All right, you, too.

See you later.

He's a handsome guy.

Friendly.

A little odd.

Must've been great
to reconnect with him
after all these years.

You gonna see him again?
No, I don't think so. No.

Knows a lot about you.

Yeah.

I guess he always did.

Thank you.

I got it. Happy
holidays to you.

It's a great building.
Nice to be so close
to the park, huh?

Michael? You're here?

I know.

Okay, look. Listen, if you
wanna get in touch with me,
here's my business card.

You can call me, okay?

Good night.
Great.

Hugh doesn't live with you?

No, Hugh needs his rest
when he's doing a play,

and I wake up early,
so that wakes him up.

And after we get married,
I'm gonna move into his place.

I don't know why
I'm telling you
this. Good night.

Good night.
Sweet dreams.
You, too.

Are you sleeping out here?

Yeah, I'll be fine.

It'll be like when
we went camping.

We never went camping.

Yes, we did.
We made a tent out
of sheets on the balcony

and roasted marshmallows
in your EasyBake Oven.

Yeah, that was fun.

I liked Hugh.
He's wonderful.

I know. I can see why you
love him. He's an actor
with really white teeth.

That's not why
I love him. Good night.

Good night.

Okay, you can stay one night.

He always does this,
the super. He leaves me
a note. He has a key.

He could just let
himself in and
fix the shower,

but instead he
leaves me a note.

But I guess I have
bigger problems than
a broken shower.

The whole place could
use a paint job, you know?

Sorry about the mess.
Hugh keeps promising
to help me, but...

You know what?
I guess it doesn't
really matter.

Not gonna be here
much longer.

I couldn't just let you
sleep outside, right?
It's too cold.

Okay.

You can just sleep
on the couch.

Okay.

Michael, why are you here?

The only thing I can
figure out is that I must
be here to help you.

So what's wrong, Jane?

Nothing. I'm fine.
I don't need help.

Great, then I was right.
About what?

I always knew you would
grow up and become an
amazing, beautiful woman.

I'm just glad I get
to be here to see it.

That's... So, thank you

for coming all the way
back here from magic
land. You know?

Sleep well. See you
in the morning.

Thanks.

Jane?
Yeah?

Proud of you.

No! No!

What are you doing in here?

I thought you might still
be afraid of the dark.

Go back into
the other room.

Okay.

This isn't happening.

You've had a brain aneurysm.

You're in a coma in the
hospital, but your mind
is living this nightmare

and just waiting
for you to wake up.

Jane.
Hi, dear.

There's my girl.

Did you know Mr. Danderford
played the clarinet at the
Blue Note in the late '50s

and Mrs. Greenberg
was a waitress there?

And they've lived
down the hall from
each other all this time,

and they never put
that together.

It's amazing.

So, I see you guys
have all met.

Well, finish your coffee.
I've got to go to work, okay?

Here's a key. So when you're
finished, just lock up and put
the key under the mat. Bye.

Mom, do you remember
when I was a little girl

and I had an imaginary
friend named Michael?

Yeah, do I ever.

I even sent you to
Dr. Nussbaum for therapy,

and he told me that
I should let you keep
your little friend

because he made you happy,

and he was sure that
one day he would leave,
and thank God he did.

Why?

I just ran into someone
that reminds me of him.

Oh, my God, you're
having an affair.

Does Hugh know?
No, I am not having
an affair, Mother.

I just... You know,
I ran in...

You know what it is.

It doesn't matter.
It's wedding jitters.
Buyer's remorse.

You two are
perfect together.
I know.

Well, as perfect as it
can get in this world.

God, that's so cynical.

No, it isn't.

Jane, I just don't
want you to miss out.

I waited a long time for
Mr. Right and what I got
was your father,

a charming, cheating
bastard who left us.

Hugh is a wonderful
catch and he adores you.

And I love him.

Of course you do.

Martha Stewart's daughter
was my assignment for a year

when her mom's company
went public and she
got really busy.

What do you think?

It's amazing.

I can't believe
you did all of this.

Come here.

Your hands are freezing.

And you even put
together my TV stand.

And this was all I needed.

No one's ever done
anything like this
for me before.

Why not?

I don't know.

People have their own
lives. They get busy.

What is that smell?

I made you mac and cheese.

I love mac and cheese.

The Adventures
of Michael and Jane.

Wow, I haven't looked
at this in forever.

I know.

I have something to show you.
What?

Go in the bathroom,
turn on the shower,
and take off your clothes.

What?

No! I can't do that.

"Take off your clothes."
I fixed your shower!

I was a friend to a kid
whose father was a plumber.

I thought you wanted to...

I wasn't always Don Juan.

I wasn't always an actor,
and Hamlet wasn't always
my favorite role.

I was first John Sidney
Blyth Barrymore,

a young boy with big dreams,

although not always
focused on the stage.

Vivian, hi.

I'm sorry that
I misjudged you.

Jane says you've
really grown into
a better mother.

Thank you.
Yeah.

Who are you?

Michael. Well, you
used to call me
the delusion, remember?

You were probably
just trying to protect
Jane from love

because you'd
been so hurt.

You weren't being mean.
You were simply misguided.

It's okay.
I forgive you.

I live between polite
society and the bordello.

It wasn't until 1903 that
I made my debut as a thespian.

And by 1905,

I was firmly implanted
in the London stage.

The theater was my salvation
when television became
redundant, you know.

But film is the dream.
It keeps me reaching inside.

You know what I mean?
Excuse me.

Hi.
Hi.

This is a surprise.
Michael's here.
Yeah.

I'm not sure I like you
spending so much time
with the other guy.

Oh, stop. He's just
an old friend.

You are the love
of my life.

Who?
You.

Sorry, I just get
a little jealous.

You were wonderful,
by the way.

Thanks, man.
You're an amazing actor.

Thank you, man.
I really believed
you were a doctor.

He actually wasn't a doctor.
He wasn't playing a doctor.

Well, you were
stupendous tonight.

Thank you, Vivian.

You know you would've
gotten a standing ovation
if the audience

wasn't riveted to their
seats by your performance.

You look great.
Thank you.

Yeah.
My daughter's a lucky woman.

Aren't you, honey?
Yes, I am.

Come on, someone
wants to meet you.

Hugh is really talented.
I know.

Your mother's the same
as she always was.

I know.

Morning.

Hi.
Going to work?

No, the theater's
dark on Mondays.

Great. What do you
wanna do today?

Want to go to the museum?

Or, you know,
maybe we could
just stay home?

I have a very full day.

I have a wedding to plan.

I'm just...

I'm just gonna
get dressed now.

Right.

Do you want me to...

I'll just...

So, it's been three months
and you've narrowed it
down to these seven.

With Christmas orders
piling up, I really need
you to make a decision

on what direction
you wanna go.
I know. I know.

I just don't think that
I can choose yet.

And they're all beautiful.
It's just that Hugh
is very particular,

and everything has
to be perfect.

You want that one.

This one?
Yeah.

Yeah, pink and green
are your favorite colors,

and roses remind you
of your Grandma Rose.

Yeah, you're right.
I'll take this one.

Wonderful.

You should bring your
fiance with you on
all your appointments.

He's not my fiance.

He's just a good friend.

You must like boys.
Am I right?

I like girls
and boys. Yeah.

Wow. Chocolate is...
No. There are no
words for chocolate.

New words will have
to be invented for
this experience.

And the strawberry.
Strawberry tastes
like summer afternoons

when you've been
outside playing and
swimming all day,

and then you come
inside, and you're
hungry and thirsty.

Strawberry.

It's clouds of awesome.

This is the one!

Let's go to the dress
shop next. I've narrowed
it down to six dresses.

I already know the one.

I still don't know
why we're here.

Do you remember the
first play we went to?

Of course. It was
my favorite.
One Special Night.

That's my dress.

You said that the first night
you saw it, when the actor
stepped out on stage in it.

Come on.

Wow.

You look beautiful.

I do?

Thanks.

What just happened?

We kissed.
No, we didn't.

That just didn't happen.
That was wonderful.

How could it be wonderful
if it never happened?

That was our first kiss.
It was our last kiss.

They say you never
forget your first kiss.

Forget it, okay?

Oh, my God.

It did happen, but it was
a horrible mistake, and
it can never happen again.

It was an accident.
Exactly.

I just tripped and
fell on your lips.

Michael, I'm serious
right now. That can
never happen again.

Yeah, we'll avoid
it at all cost.

I'm about to marry Hugh
Morrison, okay? A man that
I love very, very much.

I believe you.

No, I'm not trying
to convince you,
you know? It's a fact.

It's just I was very excited
because we found the dress,

and so, you know, stuff
happened, and it didn't
mean anything at all.

It was just a kiss
between old friends.

Right.
Right.

So we're clear.
Just friends.
Best friends.

Okay. You need
to stop following me.

Hey, Paul. How's it going?
Good to see you.

Who's this?

Hi, Nathan. I'm Michael.
Hi.

Wait, you can see Paul?

Sure.
Yes!

I knew he was real.

Wait. Who are you
talking to? Who is Paul?

He's an imaginary.

Right.

For a second there,
I thought you were talking
to an empty chair, so...

No.

Hi.
You can't keep
showing up like this.

I do have patients.

Nathan's fine. He's
sitting out there with
an invisible boy named Paul

and my imaginary
friend, Michael.

Okay, now you're scaring me.

Ask me what I did today.

I chose my cake,
I chose my flowers,

and my wedding dress
all within the last
three hours.

Why? Because I had
Michael with me.

Great.
It's crazy, isn't it?

Well, I don't know
if it's crazy or not,

but your eyes do light
up every time you talk
about Michael.

No, they don't.
Yeah, they do.

You have this twinkle...
No. Okay, I kissed him.

I kissed him, yeah.
So he found the dress,

and I was really happy,
and he thought I looked
beautiful, and...

And?

And we kissed,
and now it's over.

So you're still in
human limbo, I see.

It's so weird.
Everyone's talking
about it.

Every imaginary should
do it at least once.

Feelings are so much
bigger than we thought.

Your kid gets picked
last for baseball, and
we tell him it's nothing.

It's not nothing.
It hurts.

That cute guy out
there is your Michael?

No, he is not my
Michael, he's just
Michael, a good friend.

He's living with you.
He's one door away, sleeping
naked on a white sheet.

How do you stand it?
How do you know
he sleeps naked?

That's how I picture him.

Okay, stop. Just stop.

I love Hugh. Hugh is a
wonderful man, and I am the
luckiest girl in the world.

All I know is if I had a man
who looked at me like that,

I would never get out of bed.

Hugh looks at me like that.

Hugh looks at
himself like that.

That was fun.
So what's next?

Nothing. We got
everything. The cake,
the flowers, the dress.

Nice. Let's celebrate.

Martini, olives. Crazy week.

For you?

Martini, olives. Crazy week.

That's great music.

Jane and I love to dance.
No, we don't.

Are you kidding me?

You used to dance
in front of the mirror
all the time.

Like a Virgin.
The song Like a Virgin.

(SONG U CAN'T TOUCH
THIS BEGINS)

No way. Are you
kidding? What time is it?

I don't know.

Jane.

Hammer time.
It's Hammer time!

He's not from around here.

Can't believe
this is happening.

That was amazing. Awesome.

(APPLAUSE)

Look at them.
What a sweet couple.

Probably been
together for 50 years.
Yeah.

It looks that way,

but the truth is,
they just met an hour
ago in yoga class.

Really?
Yeah.

Yeah. I mean,
they've been seeing
each other for years.

But, you know, a little
yoga class here, a
meditation group there.

This is the first
time they ever
talked to each other.

Why today?

Well, because today
is Evelyn's birthday.

And she is planning
on spending the entire
weekend in a nudist colony.

Name?
Of the nudist colony?
The Bare Inn.

Wow.
Yeah.

Do you think
he'll go with her?
I do, actually. I do.

Because it's also
Phil's birthday.

Yeah. And they will
quickly realize that the best
way to spend their birthdays

is in their birthday suits.

Excellent.

So Hugh's gonna pick me up
for the book signing.

And I don't know if
you're gonna go out.

So are you?

Am I what?
Gonna go out?

I don't think so.

I don't know. I wasn't
really planning on it.

Don't know a lot
of people here, so...

Right.

You'll be okay?
Yeah, sure.

Hey.

I do not want
to have a pillow fight.

You're kidding me.

I have always
wanted a pillow fight!

Hi, honey.
What's going on?

Nothing.
I've been calling you all day.

Yeah, we went out.
We were planning
our wedding.

Our wedding,
not our wedding.

Right.

I don't understand
why he's still here.

He's got nowhere
else to go.

Hugh, he's just
a friend. You have
no reason to be jealous.

Jealous? No, I'm not jealous.

Excuse me if I don't
want my wife living
with another man!

I'm not your wife yet.
And keep your voice down.
He can hear you.

He's using you.

He is not using me.

Really? Why did
he show up now?

After all these years,
right when you're about
to marry a famous actor?

What does he want?

You're so naive.

You know, people,
they take advantage
of you all the time,

like those old people that
guilt you into running
their errands for them.

They're my neighbors.

You care about this guy
so much that you're gonna
let him come in between us?

No. No, of course not.

He's just got no
place else to stay.

I don't care!
He's got no job, no life.

I just feel sorry for him.
I don't care about him at all.

Ten minutes, then I'm gone.

I didn't mean it in that way.

But?

But Hugh's my future.

He's going to be my husband.

Right.

Look, Michael, you and
I have fun together.
But this is not real.

You know, I can't risk
what I have with Hugh.

I just can't.

He's my future.

Yeah, you already said that.
Well, I'm saying it again.

And this is all very
easy for you, you know?

You have no consequences here.

I get it.
No. No, you don't.

You know, this is my life.

Okay? I have responsibilities.

I'm not this little
girl anymore with
an imaginary friend.

I grew up.

Everybody has to
grow up, Michael.

Everybody but you.

I haven't seen her in three
days. I miss her so much.

We don't miss our kids.
We care for them,

help them be their best
selves and then we leave.

I know, I know. I just
wanna make her happy.

It isn't your job
to make her happy.

I wish I could stay,
you know, and be
a part of her life.

I could learn to
live in her world,

take on responsibilities
and be a grown up.

Have you lost your mind?

No! I only have until
her birthday to show
her I've changed.

This isn't about you.
She's happy. She's getting
married. Your job is done.

Just go home.

But...
No "buts," Michael.

If you don't show up at
an exit station the moment
you're supposed to leave,

who knows what could happen?

You could disappear,
cease to exist.

Don't do it.

I don't have a lot
of experience, but
I'm great with people.

I'm trustworthy, and I'm
there when you need me.

So why do you wanna work here?

I like food, and
it's the responsible
thing to do.

That's a good answer.

That's more than I can say
about my prima donna
head chef there, Gerard.

Comes in late,
attitude sucks.

(SIGHS)

Can you wash dishes?
Yeah.

I'm just glad that you finally
realized that your friend,

Michael, was just using you.

Well, I don't think
he was using me, per se.

Okay, whatever.

Look, it was great
to see him, but it was
time for him to go home.

I agree.

So, I think
I wanna write again.

Writing what?

I don't know.

Maybe a children's
story or something.

Honey, I know
what this is.
What?

Well, I was almost
nominated for
a Tony Award,

and I'm gonna be
in a big movie,

and, you know,
my book's gonna
be a bestseller.

It's okay for you to
feel a little insecure.

No, that's not what
it is at all. I just always
wanted to be a writer.

Well, you never
mentioned it before.

When I was 10 years old,
I decided that I wanted
to be a writer,

but then fear and
judgment got in the
way as I grew older,

and now...
I remember when I was 10.

I had a dream.

I wanted to be president
of the Screen Actors Guild.

Are you getting sick?

No, but if I were,
wouldn't you want
to take care of me?

And risk both
of us being sick?

You ever missed a girl?

I mean, really missed her.

Right.

She's just so pretty,
but beautiful and
fun and cool.

So where is this
fun girl, huh?

I don't know.
Not a little girl anymore.

You know, she goes places
and she does stuff.

I'll have another one.

I think maybe you've
had enough, huh?

Okay.

Maybe you should
call this girl,

tell her how you feel.

Hi, Jane, it's Michael.

I got a job washing dishes
at Sam's Restaurant
and Bar in SoHo.

I just wanted
to call and say hi,

see how you were doing.

I miss you.

Hi, Jane, it's Michael.

What is this?

It's macaroni
and cheese and...

Rice Krispies treats.

Is this a joke?

No, it's comfort food.

No, this is sugar,
and this is carbs.

I can't eat this.
I got to stay in shape.
I know.

I'm auditioning for a feature
film. It's the most important
time in my life.

And marrying you.

You know what?
It's fine. It's fine. Look.

What harm could
a few carbs do, right?

I'm not that hungry anyway.

Do you want to go outside
and build a snowman?

It's 20 degrees.

You wanna go outside
and build a snowman?

Are you kidding?
No.

It'll be fun.

This is the kind
of stuff you and Michael
used to do, right?

I just want to be happy.

We are happy.

We have everything
that we want.

This is what
happy looks like.

I still have no idea
what to get Hugh
for Christmas.

What's he getting you?

Skis. We're going to Colorado,
skiing for our honeymoon.

You hate to ski.

Well, not completely
and totally.

Michael would
love this scarf.

I'm gonna get it for him.
I thought you didn't
know where he was.

He left me a message
telling me where he works.

You have no idea
what to get Hugh
for Christmas,

yet Michael,
no problem.

You should go see him,
tell him how you feel.

No, that's not fair
to Hugh. I'll just send
the scarf to Michael.

Fair? Hugh is in
California surrounded
by beautiful actresses.

So?

So nothing.
I'm just saying...

Excuse me. Excuse me. Hi.

I was hoping you
could help me
with something.

It's gonna be about
an hour wait.

Sorry, Christmas special.
We're giving out free
cookies with every meal.

I'm actually looking
for someone.

His name is Michael.
I think he's the
dishwasher here.

You mean Michael, the chef?

Jane.
Yeah.

You're Jane?

Yeah.

That Jane?

Yeah, I guess so. Thank you.

Jane, hey.

Hi. Hi.

I just wanted to stop by
and see how you're doing.

Yeah, well, let's grab a seat.
Okay.

I brought you a little
Christmas present.

Thank you.
Yeah.

I love it. This is great.

How are you?
I'm well.

Look at you.

You're this huge success.

Well, thanks to you.

The chef quit, so
I took your suggestion.

My suggestion?
Yeah.

You said you'd rather
eat mac and cheese
than anything else,

so I made mac and cheese,
grilled cheese, tomato
soup, Tater Tots.

Those were my favorite
foods when I was little.

I know. They're every
kid's favorite foods.

It turns out people
like to be reminded
of their childhood.

Michael, hi.
Hey.

The girls certainly
do love you.

You'll always be my girl.

How's Hugh?
He's great. He's great.

The wedding's coming
up soon. He flew to
California for an audition.

Really?

He'll be back in time
for the wedding.

Okay, so the wedding's
still on.

Michael, are you coming
out for drinks later?

Yeah, I'll be there.

Fun.

Yeah, we all go for drinks
at this place after work.

You should come with us.

It's late.

I should go home.
No, right. Right.

Well, it was
great to see you.

You, too.

I'm really happy for you.

Thank you.

Am I gonna
see you again?

I don't know.
You know, I hope so.

Merry Christmas, Jane.

Merry Christmas, Michael.

Got you last.

Got you last.

After you left,
I used to spend hours
thinking about you.

I just kept looking
for you, and I kept hoping
that you would come back.

At some point,

it just became too painful
to think about you anymore,

so I just pretended that
you weren't important to me.

And I shut down.

It's easier not to feel
anything about anything.

But I don't want
to do that anymore.

I want to lie here
with you forever.

I love you, Jane.

Michael?

Hi.
Hi. Hey.

Got us some breakfast.

I thought you left.

I think we should talk.

Later.

There's something
I have to tell you.

I already know.

You do?

Yeah, and I love you, too.

Come on.

These have been the most
perfect days of my life.

Mine, too.

What? What is it?

I have to go back, Jane.

You're leaving?

I don't want to.

Then don't.

I have to. I don't
have a choice.

Why did you do this?

Why did you come here
and build this life
for yourself here?

Why did you let me fall
in love with you when you
knew you were leaving?

Michael, I trusted you.

Jane, falling in love
with you has been the best,

the best thing I've
ever experienced.
You don't know what love is,

otherwise you wouldn't
be leaving me right now.

Jane...
No.

The first time
that you left me,

I swore that I would
never forget you.

This time, I promise you

I will not spend one
more moment of my life
thinking about you.

I don't ever want
to see you again.

God, I feel like I'm dying.

You're not dying.
It's a broken heart.

Why does it hurt so much?

It just means you're human.

Owen.

I want you to make sure
that every guest gets one
of these theater schedules.

People always like
something to read
during dinner.

Why, you're early. Oh, God.

I'm sorry.
People magazine.

Welcome, welcome.
I'm Vivian Claremont,

mother of the bride
and owner of the
Claremont Theater,

where the groom,
Hugh Morrison,

is currently performing
in Barrymore Speaks,

Tuesday through Saturday
and two shows on Sunday.

Darren, make sure
he has a good seat
right up front.

No, no. No carnations.
More roses.

Thank you.

You sure you want to do this?

Of course.

It's not too late, you know.
You can still walk away.

No, this is the
right decision.

Hugh is a good man.

Darling, you look beautiful.

Thank you. So do you.

I know. It's going to be
a perfect Christmas Eve
wedding in New York City.

And the place
is crawling
with paparazzi.

Jackie, is that for me?

Cheers, everyone.
ALL: Cheers.

The right choice isn't always
the best choice, Jane.

You look so beautiful.
Thank you.

I can't wait for
our honeymoon.

New Year's on the slopes.
I'm so excited.

I don't like to ski.

Sure you do.
No. No, I don't.

You don't?

You never told
me that before.

Yeah, I did. You
just didn't listen.

What's my favorite color?

Now?
Yes, right now.

Blue.

No, that's your
favorite color.

What's my favorite flower?

Orchid.
No.

You always send me orchids,
but, really, that's your
mother's favorite flower.

My favorite are
yellow roses. And
Michael knew that.

That's what
this is about?

Listen, Michael's
not here. I am.

No, it's not about
Michael. Michael's gone.
It's about you and me.

Look, I forgive
you, okay?

For the whole Michael
thing. I wasn't
perfect, either.

Let's just
get married.

Let's get married.

I can't do this.
What?

I'm sorry.
What? What?

I know what love
feels like, and
this is not it.

Jane, Jane...

Where are you going?
I don't love him, Mother.

You love him enough.
It's not enough.

This may be your
last chance for
happiness and security.

I have to find Michael.

Jane.

If you do this,
you'll be ruining
this day forever.

Christmas Eve, your
birthday, will always be the
day that you ruined your life.

Jane.

My birthday.
What time is it?

I got to go.

Fifteen minutes till
the moment I was born!

But I'm gonna
be a big star.

Here. Merry Christmas!
What do I do with these?

That's a great choice.

Thank you so much.
You're welcome.
Happy holidays.

Can I help you, sir?

No, thank you.

I'm done here.

Michael!

I love you so much.

I've always loved you.

You are my soul mate,
my one true love.

I've always loved you, too.

Loving you has been
the best part of my life,

and I'm gonna miss
you forever.

Stay with me.

I can't.

What am I supposed
to do without you?

They're perfect
for each other.

Michael?

She's an Olympic
swimmer, and he's
an underwater tuba player.

I thought you had to leave.

I couldn't go.

I don't understand.

When you were a little
girl, I came to you
because you needed me.

I came back
because I need you.

I don't exist without you.

What about the rules?

Some rules were
made to be broken.

I wanted to get
you something

that is as special
and unique as you are.

That is my ring.

I love you, Michael.

I love you, Jane.

Did you say an
underwater tuba player?

Would I make that up?

And then what happened?

Well, she met him
when she fell off
a cruise ship.

That's how they met.
She was doing a high dive,

and she overshot the pool.
