[theme music]

That new conditioner
I bought makes

your hair feel a lot thicker.

It smells like bananas.

Do you like it?

Oh, it's fine.

Are you almost done?

Keep your britches on.

You want to look nice when
you go to breakfast tomorrow.

No, I don't want
to go to breakfast.

Margaret McBride,
you and I have

been going to breakfast every
Saturday morning for 15 years.

I know, and I'm tired of it.

That's not true
and you know it.

You wait all week long for
those blueberry muffins.

I know, but I'm tired of it.

I'm just tired.

Aren't you done yet?

All right, I'll tell you what.

I'll make us both a nice cup
of tea, and then I'll finish.

Want me to put the TV on?

No, I just want
to put my head back.

That real estate
man came by again

while you were taking a nap.

I kept telling him we don't want
to sell, but he won't listen.

All he talks about is the money.

He doesn't understand how
people feel about a place.

I told him you and
I knew every plant

in the yard, and the birds.

Who'd feed the birds
if we weren't here?

He just looked at
me like I was crazy.

Buy, sell, make a profit.

That's all people
think about today.

You want honey or preserves
in your tea, Margaret?

Margaret?

You better check the batteries
in that hearing aid of yours.

You-- Margaret?

Oh, Margaret.

It's a crazy world, you know?

I was reading the sports
section this morning

about them testing
ballplayers for drugs,

testing horses for drugs.

You never read but antibody
testing airline mechanics

for drugs.

I mean, nobody is going to die
if somebody drops a fly ball,

you know?

That's true.

A lot of people are really
getting nervous about flying.

I know I am.

But then flying is
safer taking the train.

A friend of mine
died on a train.

Somebody crashed an
airplane into it.

That's a joke.

Jonathan?

Huh?

Boy, you're a
million miles away.

Yeah, I guess I was.

How much further we got to go?

About another mile.

I'll show you where to turn.

You know what
the assignment is?

Jonathan?

Huh?

You know what the
next assignment is?

No, not yet.

Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I used to live around here.

Bring back a lot of memories.

I haven't been back here
for almost 40 years.

Jane.

She's our assignment, huh?

She's my wife, Mark.

She's my wife.

I can't believe it.

She looked right at you.

I know it's been
a long time, but I

thought she'd recognize you.

We don't come back
in the same form, Mark.

Are you going to
tell her who you are?

I can't.

It's not allowed.

Why would the boss
send you on this one?

I don't know.

You see her eyes?

She always had the
most beautiful eyes.

She still does.

Next street on the right.

All right.

Same house after
all these years.

Let's go.

[doorbell]

I'll get it, Margaret.

Yes?
- Hi.

My name's Jonathan Smith.

My friend and I were
looking for a room,

and we saw your sign out front.

Yes.

Well, I was hoping to rent to
another lady, someone who might

share a bit of the housework.

Oh, look, we'd be more
than happy to pitch in.

Well, I don't know.

I-- two strangers in the house.

If you'd like to
leave a number--

No, no.

That's all right.

I understand.

With everything you
read in the paper,

I can't blame you for
not wanting to have two

strangers living in your house.

Thank you for understanding.

It's really a shame
though, isn't it?

What?

The world has to be this way.

That people have to be
afraid of each other.

Yes, it is.

I won't keep you.

Keep smiling.

Mr. Smith?

Yeah?

If you'd still like to see
the room, I'll show it to you.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Come in.

Thank you.

The room is a good size.

There's no air conditioning,
but these older

houses tend to stay cool.

It's perfect.

Just perfect.

What do you think, Mark?

Fine with me.

I mean, this is a nice room.

It used to be my
husband's study years ago,

but after he died, I turned
it into an extra room

to help make house payments.

Oh, I see.

Well, it's just great for us,
if it's all right with you?

It is.

The rent's $150 a month,
including kitchen privileges.

Oh, that's fine.

Could we move right in?

Certainly.

I'll get our stuff.

Why did you change your mind
about renting us the room?

It's too silly
to even tell you.

Oh, come on.

Believe it or not, it was
when you said keep smiling.

My husband Arthur
always used to say that.

No matter how bad things would
get, he'd take me by the chin,

and he'd say, keep smiling.

Well, I'll let you get settled.

If you need anything,
just let me know.

Jane?

Thank you.

You're welcome, Jonathan.

No, I'm fine really.

Yes, they both seem very nice.

I know that, but I don't
want to sell the house, dear.

You know why.

I'm not arguing.

I didn't bring it up.

You did.

Did you talk to Martin about
coming out for a visit?

Oh, I see.

Well, I'm sure the
children will love that.

No.

I understand.

I wouldn't pass up a chance
to go to Hawaii either.

You have some pictures of them?

Oh, good.

Well, don't forget
to send me some.

Next year.

Next year.

I'll see you next year.

No, you don't have to promise.

Are the children there?

I keep forgetting there's
two hours difference.

We'll give them a hug for me.

I love you, too.

Bye.

[piano music playing]

Oh.

I am sorry.

I hope I didn't disturb you.

No.

Not at all.

That song--

"Play It Alone."

My husband always played that.

It was the only song he knew.

He used to go to a party and
play it to impress people,

and then they'd ask him
to play something else,

and he'd pretend to be shy.

Shy.

If there's one thing
he wasn't it was shy.

You never remarried?

No.

Why not?

Why, I don't know.

I was busy raising my daughter
and being a mother and working,

and I somehow never found time.

And besides, some men don't like
the responsibility of bringing

up someone else's child.

Yeah.

How is your daughter?

She's fine.

Married, has two children.

They live in the East, Illinois.

Is-- is this your daughter?

Yes.

That's my Mandy.

She's almost as
beautiful as her mother.

You get to see them very often?

No.

It's not easy for
them to get away.

Her husband works very hard.

I'm sorry.

I'm having a very difficult
time since my friend died .

I suppose it's being alone.

I'm not used to it yet.

No one gets used
to being alone.

We weren't meant to be.

I talked with Mandy tonight.

They were coming out here
at the end of the month,

but they have a chance
to go to Hawaii.

I haven't seen them
since they were babies.

Oh, listen to the old lady
prattle on about her life.

I'm sure you're interested.

I am.

Of course.

Jane, I am.

I'm all right now.

Nothing like a
shoulder to cry on.

I know.

I better get some sleep.

Good night.

I'm glad you moved in here.

I like you, Jonathon.

And I love you, Jane.

[knocking]

Yes?

Hey, I hope I didn't wake you.

Oh, no.

What is all this?

Well, this is a little
orange juice, a little tea,

and a little toast.

I thought you should have some
breakfast in bed for a change.

You shouldn't--

I don't know what to say.

Well, a simple thank
you will do fine.

Thank you.

And the flowers, beautiful.

I'd like to tell you this was
out of the kindness of my heart

but that wouldn't be true.

I have an ulterior motive.

I want to ask you a favor.

What is that?

Well, my friend Mark is
going out of town this morning,

and I feel like going to the
zoo, and I hate to go alone.

So this is sort of a bribe,
you know, get somebody

obligated so they can't say no.

What do you say?

Oh, I don't know.

I have the house to clean
and the vacuuming and--

[vacuum starting]

What's that?

Well, I'm afraid we
second guessed you.

Mark was ready early, so
he figured he'd pitch in.

Now come on, please?

I haven't been to the
zoo in a long time.

Neither have I.
I used to love it.

Well, then eat your
breakfast, get yourself dressed.

Jane Thompson, we're
going on safari.

Don't forget the living room.

What's going on?

Who's vacuuming this
time of the morning?

Nobody.

Look, I want you to
do me a big favor.

Name it.

I want you to go see my
daughter and her family.

Tell them you're a
friend of Jane's, let

them know how down she is.

See if you can talk them
into paying her a visit.

I'll give it a try, but
I mean, you're the angel.

Don't you think you
should be the one?

Well, I just don't want
to leave her right now.

All right, I'll
give it a shot.

I appreciate it.

Thank you.

Where you going?

- The zoo.
- Well, wait a minute.

I don't even know where
she lives or anything.

Everything's in
your jacket pocket.

Address, plane
ticket, the works.

Plane ticket?

Now, wait a minute,
you mean I got to fly.

I hate flying.

Well, you'll get used to it.

I did.

Sure you did after you died.

Oh, I hate flying.

[upbeat music playing]

That koala bear is the
cutest thing in the world.

We can go back and see
him again if you like.

I'd love to, but to
be honest with you,

my feet are killing me.

Hey, come on, let's
sit down for a while.

Oh, I'd love to.

Oh.

It feels so good.

Probably didn't seem like
a lot of walking to you,

but wait and see.

In a few years, you'll
find out you can't

do the things you used to do.

Well, if it makes you feel any
better, my feet are killing me,

too.

Now, now at your age?

Oh, come on, I may be a
little older than I look.

You certainly look a lot
younger than you are.

Thank you.

All of us old bags
like to hear that.

I think you're beautiful.

I think extremely mature
would be more like it.

I think beautiful
would be more like it.

I'm going to blush.

You don't have one of those
Oedipus complexes, do you?

No.

Oh, you remind me so much
of Arthur in so many ways.

He was always laughing.

He was always easy to
be with, and, well,

he could make me angry though.

Oh, really?
Why?

How?

Well, his dreams, his schemes.

The pot of gold was always
just around the corner.

He was never satisfied with
just earning a decent living.

He always wanted
to be a success.

Well, maybe he wanted
you to be proud of him.

Maybe.

Certainly life was
never dull with him.

I got to get back.

If Margaret doesn't have
her dinner by 6:00, she--

my God.

Hey, why don't you and I
go out to dinner tonight?

You're very kind.

I'm all right.

Will you stop
the kind business?

I'm not asking you to
go to dinner to be kind.

I'm asking you to go
to dinner because I'd

like to have dinner with you.

I promise no walking.

All right, you've
convinced me.

Good.

Come on, let's get ready.

I'll tell you what, after
dinner, if you'd like,

we'll go to a movie.

The zoo, dinner, a
movie, all in one day?

Why not?

It's an awful lot for one day.

Oh, don't worry.

if I get tired, I'll tell you.

You better wait.

Watch out.

This is hot.

What is it?

It's that noodle
dish your father likes.

With asparagus?

Yes, with asparagus.

Couldn't I have
something else?

You're so picky.

Hey, was I talking to you?

[doorbell]

Just pick out the asparagus
and eat the noodles.

There are black
things in this.

Would you rather
have Brussels sprouts?

I'll eat the noodles.

Yes?

I hope I'm not ringing
your bell at a bad time.

We just sat down
to dinner, Mister?

Gordon.

Mark Gordon.

Maybe I better come back later?

What's it about?

Your mom.

My mother?

What's happened?
- Oh, nothing.

Nothing.

She's fine.

My friend and I are
renting a room from her.

Who is it, Mandy?

A Mr. Gordon, one of
Mother's new boarders.

Is she all right?

No, no, she's fine.

I was in town on some
business, and I thought

you'd like to know she's
feeling really down now,

you know, what with her
friend dying and all.

And I thought if you could
see a way free to maybe

stop by for a visit.

I realize you're going
on vacation, but--

She put you up to
this, didn't she?

No.

No, my friend and I--

Baloney.

Why would a perfect
stranger go to all

the trouble of driving out
here if she didn't ask you to?

Because she's a nice lady.

She'd love to see her
grandkids, that's all.

I told her next year.

She understood.

You told her that last year.

She understood then too.

Mr. Gordon, I realize
you're just trying to help,

but, come on, I just get one
two week vacation a year.

We'd just like to have some fun.

You understand?

Yeah, I understand.

I just thought a couple
of days, you know?

Next year.

Well, I'll let you
get back to dinner.

Sorry I bothered you.

Mr. Gordon?

Yeah?

Tell Mom I love her.

Yeah, I will.

Excuse me.

Here we go.

Look at the size of that?

Oh, come on, I've seen you
eat that much all by yourself.

What?

I mean, I imagine you could.

Jane?

Oh, Clara.

Hi.

How are you?

Marilyn.

This is a friend of
mine, Jonathan Smith.

- Hello.
- Hi.

How are you?

Have you had any luck
getting a new boarder, dear?

Yes, Jonathan here and
a friend of his moved in.

Really?

I thought you were looking
for a female lodger, dear?

I was, but Jonathan and
his friend are very nice.

Yes, I'm sure.

Well, it's about time
for us to be getting in.

It was a pleasure
meeting both of you.

Did you see the
look on their faces?

Come on, how could I miss it?

They'll run up their telephone
bill tomorrow, I guarantee it.

How's this?

Fine.

Have some of this popcorn.

It's good.

I love popcorn.

Go on.

Guess who's right behind us?

I don't have to guess.

Let's give them
something to talk about.

Put your head on my shoulder.

Jonathon.

All right, come on,
it's the least you can do.

After all, I sprung for dinner,
a movie, popcorn, a large one.

Well, why not?

They're dying.

I'm telling you, they're dying.

Hey, you back already?

Didn't see any reason
for hanging around.

Why?

What did Mandy say?

Next year.

And what if her mother
doesn't have a next year?

Jonathon, you know something?

Is she--

No, I don't know.

What I do know is she's
alone and misses her family.

The longer people are
alone, the more likely

they are to give up on living.

I just can't believe
my daughter would

do something like this to her.

So what do we do now?

I'll tell you
what I'd like to do.

I'd like to put that
child over my knee.

Well, Jonathon, I don't think
that's going to be so easy.

You see, that child is
about the same age as you.

Yeah, I know.

What you do tonight?

Went to dinner,
went to a movie.

Yeah?

Have fun?

Yeah.

I had a great time.

It was just like the old days.

But, Jonathan, it's
not the old days.

The longer you stay,
the harder it's going

to be on her when you leave.

You're going to have
to leave sometime.

I know.
I know.

I know.
I know.

I know.

All right, my daughter
won't listen to reason,

I'm going to have to
shake her up a little bit.

Yeah, how are you
going to do that?

Easy.

I'm going to pay a little visit
to my future stepdaughter.

Future stepdaughter?

What are you talking about?

She's your daughter.

You know that,
and I know that,

but she doesn't know that.

Look, tell Jane
I'll be out of town

on business for
a couple of days.

I'll be in touch with you.

Sure you don't
want me to go along?

That means you're going to
have to take another plane.

Oh, like I said, you
don't want me tagging along.

I'll just keep an eye on Jane.

Thanks.

[phone ringing]

Hello?

Hi, is this Mandy?

Yes.

Hi, this is Jonathan.

Jonathan?

Yeah, Jonathan Smith.

I'm a friend of your mom's,
a little bit more than just

a friend, you know what I mean?

I don't know.

Uh-oh, she didn't say
anything to you about me?

Well, no, I'm
sorry, she didn't.

Oh, that figures.

You know how widows are,
afraid to talk to the kids

about getting married again.

What?

Yeah, surprise, surprise.

Hey, look, I'll be in
town for a few days.

I'd sure like to
drop in for a visit.

Might not get out
there for the wedding,

so you at least ought to know
what your new father-in-law

looks like.

Well, yes, I--

this is such a surprise.

How about tonight?

A little dinner, my treat.

You pick the place.

Well, I--

Great.

Great, I'll pop by
around 7 o'clock.

I'm really looking
forward to it.

See you then.

See you then.

Mandy, have you seen
my pencil sharpener?

I'm going to skin those kids if
they don't start putting things

back where they found them.

Do you know who
I just talked to?

How would I know?

Mother's fiance.

Mother's what?

Her fiance.

She's getting married.

Well, all right,
that's terrific.

Now you see, all your worrying
about how lonely she is

and all for nothing.

We're going to
meet him tonight.

He's here?

Yeah, on business.

Well, great she found
herself an old guy

who's still able to work.

He must do well.

He wants to take us to dinner.

He said to pick the place.

Well, if he wants fancy,
we'll give him fancy.

I'll make a reservation
at Le Plume.

Don't you feel better now?

Much.

I'll go make the reservation.

[doorbell]

I'll get it.

Now, you two,
please, no arguing.

This is an older gentleman.

He remembers things the
way they used to be,

when children were
seen and not heard.

At his age, he probably
can't hear anyway.

Did you hear what I said?

Yes, ma'am.

[doorbell]

Hey, Mandy.

You look just like your mom.

Jonathan Smith?

You got it right in the flesh.

How are you doing, darling.

Fine.

Where's your old man
and the rugrats, huh?

In the den.

Oh, in the den, all right.

Everybody, this is Jonathan.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey, whoa, slow down
there, Martin, my man.

We got all night to eat,
you know what I mean?

It went down the wrong way.

Here, let me slap a
little Heimlich on you.

No, no.

I'm fine.

You all right?

Jonathan, these are our
children, Matt and Jackie.

Hey, what's happening, guys?

Hey, that's a rad jacket, man.

I like that.

I like that.

Thanks.

Well, you're all
done gagging, Martin,

we can go eat something, huh?

Well, certainly, after you.

Oh, no, age before beauty.

That's an said oldie but
goodie, right-o, Martin?

Right-o.

Hm.

Unbelievable.

Unbelievable, man.

I love them,
snails and champagne.

I could eat a hundred of them.

I'd say you already have.

You're kidding me?

I didn't realize.

It's like eating peanuts,
you know what I mean?

Hey, good living, isn't it?

What do you do for
a living, Jonathan?

Me?

Drummer.

Drummer?

Uh-huh.

Yeah.
Drummer.

You know.

How interesting.

Are you with a band?

In between groups,
you know what I mean?

That's why I'm here,
I'm looking for a gig.

A gig?

Yeah, a gig.

A job, Pops, you know?

Done.

Couldn't eat another one.

Fantastic.

Fantastic.

Hey, waiter, bring me
the check, will you?

You picked a great place.

We're glad you liked it.

Just how long have
you known my mother?

Mama?

Almost a week.

Love at first
sight, as they say.

That's quite a woman there.

Know what I mean?

Quite a woman.

Yes, I know.

Your check, sir.

Oh, thank you, my man.

Whoa.

Nice place.

Oh, hey, come on.

Come on.

My wallet, I must have
left it in the cab.

Oh, man, this is embarrassing.

My credit cards, the works,
you know what I mean?

Martin, old man, you're
going to have to bail

me out of this one, buddy.

I'll make it up to you.

No problem.

Waiter?

Hey, Martin, lay him
a big tip, will you?

I mean, the guy did
all right by us.

That's very generous of you.

Hey, come on, you only live
once, you know what I mean?

Spread it around.

Right.

JONATHAN: Hey, I
really enjoyed it.

Let's do it again
sometime, hey, man.

MARTIN: You bet.

MANDY: Goodnight.

JONATHAN: Goodnight.

Hey, thanks a lot for
loaning me that cab fare.

MARTIN: Any time.

Don't mention it.

Children, it's late.
Up to bed.

We just got here--

I am not in the mood to argue.

I'll be up in a minute.

I just couldn't believe it.

Neither could I.

We have to do something.

I mean, I will not have my
mother marry that drummer.

Well, if she does, I guarantee
he'll leave her without a dime.

I know that.

Look, I'll give her a call
first thing in the morning,

and I'll give her
a good talking to.

Martin, I cannot
stop something

like this on the phone.

Don't you see that this all
happened because she's alone

and frightened.

This drummer came along
at the right time.

Look, I'm sorry, but trip or no
trip, we have got to go there.

We will never forgive
ourselves if we don't.

Mandy.

Martin, you know I'm right.

All right, I'll
go call the airline.

Martin, we'll
just surprise her.

I mean, if we call, he may
marry her before we get there.

Morning.

Oh, darn, I was hoping to
have these hot biscuits ready

when you came down.

How was your trip?

It was great, just great.

I got a job offer.

Out of town?

Yeah.

It came up all of a sudden.

It was just too good to pass up.

Congratulations.

I'm so sorry.

I'm being a silly old lady.

When do you have to leave?

Tomorrow.

Hey, look, why don't we
take a drive to the beach

and spend the day,
have some dinner, huh?

I don't know.

I have things to do.

It's going to be our last
day together for a while.

For a while?

Why, sure.

You're never supposed
to say goodbye.

You say till we meet again.

Now, why don't you forget those
biscuits and get ready, huh?

You getting hungry yet?

No, not really.

You know what I'd really like?

What?

Instead of going
to dinner, could we

stay right here build a fire?

You're kidding?

It will get awful cold.

Are you sure?

My jacket's warm.

All right, we build a fire.

I'll get some wood.

Are you warm enough?

Yes.

If I tell you something,
promise not to laugh.

Never.

Just being with you these
last few days has made--

Go on, please?

Has made me feel young again.

It's almost like
being with Arthur.

Can you understand that?

Very well.

You see, years ago, I was very,
very much in love with a woman,

and you remind me
so much of her.

I'll never forget
you, Jane Thompson.

Nor I you, Jonathan Smith.

Keep smiling.

You, too.

I will.

Somehow I know I will.

Thanks to you.

Till we meet again.

Mother?
