There's a lot of love in this world, Gloria.

But there's a lot of loneliness, too.

To be honest, I'm not even sure how to begin teaching you about all of this.

you can start by observing humans and how they try to love each other.

What are those people over there doing to each other?

That's called kissing.

It's an expression of love.

Ladies, good afternoon.

Oh, Gloria.

What are you doing?

I'm showing Andrew an expression of love.

Thank you.

Just exactly what are you teaching this little angel, Miss Wayne?

Well, um, there was a couple over there who were kissing, and I was explaining

to Gloria that that can be an expression of love, and then Andrew showed up

before I was finished, and... I get the picture.

You know, Gloria, there are different kinds of love down here. There are?

I don't understand.

Well, it's time you did, and I know exactly where to start. What time is it,

Andrew? 5 .30.

Wonderful. Just time for the happy hour. Come on.

I can't believe it. She's back. The angel is back.

Tess? Tess.

When you walk down...

Oh, my.

Tess, you haven't changed a bit.

You have, but not much. Oh, I don't mind getting older.

Thanks to you, I've got a wonderful man that I can get older with.

Oh, are these your associates?

Yes, this is Monica.

Hello. And this is Gloria.

Hi. And this is Andrew.

Got a great place here. I love this retro thing.

Oh, we're not retro, honey. We're just so old, we're hip again.

Gloria's a brand -new angel, and she needs to learn about love.

Oh, and you brought her here.

Oh, well, let's look around, Gloria. We have all types and kinds of people.

Everybody comes to happy hour looking for love.

You don't look very happy.

Well, that's her, Tess, the girl I saw in the park.

Oh, Zoe.

Now there's a sweet kid that doesn't belong here. Excuse me.

She's right.

She's lonely and desperate.

And she's our assignment.

Pretty soon you won't need me anymore, Miss Wings.

Yes, she's our assignment.

Part of it.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to happy hour at the Monte

Where everything old is new again.

See, the mic is open as usual, so come on up and sing with Lou whatever the

spirit hits you.

I'm going to start things tonight with a song that I'd like to sing to my sweet

friend Tess, who gave me this advice that changed my life.

Make someone happy.

Make just one.

Someone happy.

Make just one heart the heart you sing to.

One smile that cheers you. One face that lights when it

nears you. One man your age.

So what's she look like?

Long dark hair, deep brown eyes, sort of a milky accent.

Size four.

Your basic nightmare.

Monica, right?

Right. Mr. Scott said I could start now. Well, that's great. Welcome. I'm Zoe.

This is Penny. And I guess you've already met Maggie.

Hi. Where are you from? Are you married? Where did you work before here? For

heaven's sakes, give her a minute to settle in.

This is your desk, Monica.

Thank you.

There isn't really that much to tell.

That's it? A coffee mug?

How are we supposed to judge and berate you behind your back if you don't have

some ridiculous personal thing on your desk?

Like Penny's talking corn cobs. Hey, I like those corn cobs.

My ex -husband gave them to me.

Oh, exes. That reminds me.

Zoe, I brought you that book I was telling you about.

It helped me get over Rick and George.

And the other George. I'm fine. I don't need a book. I'm over Jeff.

Excuse me. I'm looking for Penny.

I'm Penny.

Hi, I'm Gloria. I'm from the computer repair service.

They said they were sending somebody named Bob.

Oh, Bob went on a trip to Aruba this morning.

I hate Bob.

Well, let's get started.

Gloria?

Mr. Peterman's office?

Oh, yes, Mr. Silverman.

I did give him the message.

I'm sure he'll get back to you just as soon as he can.

Uh -huh, okay.

Bye -bye.

Are you getting married?

Someday. Working on it.

I've got a blind date tonight.

A blind date?

I once met a man with a wooden leg.

Monica, would you like some baklava with your coffee? I mean, I'm really a

sucker for this stuff.

Thank you. I would love some.

I got it at this great place in Greeftown.

You could have it delivered overnight, same day.

Usually we can get it in a half an hour or less.

Yeah, you and the pizza guy.

Hey, Monica, this is Billy.

Hello, Billy.

Nice to meet you.

Same here.

Where's the copy machine toner? I thought it was supposed to be here by

Maybe on the afternoon run. I'll check it out for you later.

Hey, uh, where's that... Picture of your boyfriend you always have on your desk.

Um, we broke up a couple of weeks ago, so I finally put it away.

I'm sorry.

Yeah.

I know what'll cheer you up. You like that baklava stuff?

You will love my mom's apple strudel.

Billy, that's okay. Your mother doesn't have to make me apple strudel.

She's not gonna make it.

I am.

You'll need some supplies.

You and me.

I don't believe you.

I thought you were over that Jeff guy.

I'm working on it.

Zoe was dating this, um, great guy.

Today would have been their one -year anniversary.

I see.

Well, what if there's just one perfect guy in the world for each of us, and I

just broke up with mine?

What if mine got hit by a bus three years ago and my blind date tonight is

a waste of time?

This is so depressing.

And there's only one thing a girl can look forward to at a time like this.

What's that?

You guys coming?

You go on. I'll catch up in a minute.

Hi.

Is Zoe here?

Hi. She's in the ladies' room.

Do you want to wait for her?

No, I'll just leave this here and see you tomorrow.

We're all going to go to the Monte Carlo later. Would you like to join us?

No, it sounds like a girl's night out.

I'm sure you'd be welcome.

Thanks.

I'll think about it.

Too much corn.

Let the games begin.

You

know,

when you think of angels, your mind just doesn't automatically go to spite kills

and lip gloss.

It's the new millennium, Betty.

We've got to get in the trenches.

Same thing every time.

A pitcher of margaritas.

You got a good view of the front door?

Yeah, what's he look like?

Who? Penny's blind date.

He's supposed to be carrying a briefcase. Good sign.

Unless he's an axe murderer and that's where he carries his axe.

And wearing a blue tie and has a goatee. Uh -oh.

What?

Maggie's facial hair theory.

He's got something to hide. Maybe an axe.

What if he's like...

Totally gross.

That's why you have us here.

See, we have this sort of unofficial club.

We go to happy hour together.

We rescue each other from the geeks.

We stick together if nobody asks us to dance.

And we support each other if some completely low -life, disgusting loser

like someone I won't mention, dumps us out of the blue.

Jeff's not a loser.

Well, he lost you, didn't he? Well, he's a wonderful man, and I know that he

loves me. I just, I think he got scared.

Why are you defending him?

I mean, he said the worst thing a man could say to a woman.

There's an ax in my briefcase?

Gloria, I think you should just listen right now.

He didn't mean it.

They always mean it.

What did he say?

He looked her straight in the eye and told her he wanted to be her friend.

Ugh.

Look, I just, I think he needs some time.

That's all.

He'll be back.

We're soulmates.

You know, I read in Cosmo that most women never marry their soulmates.

Thank you, Penny.

That reminds me. Since this is Girls' Night Out, I thought I'd bring some

research material.

Totally out of your mind?

Gloria, I want to actually attract a man tonight, not repel one.

But there's a really good article in that magazine. Oh, honey, you show up at

happy hour with bridal guide, and you will never...

Ever, ever meet a man. Got it?

Excuse me.

Would you like to dance?

Oh, I don't know how.

I'll teach you.

Okay.

I don't believe it.

Amazing.

Three minutes till D -Day.

Congregating for me and my gal.

The Parsons waiting. Okay, Monica, you do know that you have to be initiated,

right? Initiated? Oh, yeah. Girls' Night Out Club. There's no way you can sit

here at this table and enjoy the benefits of sorority until you get up.

you get up and sing a song with the geeks at the piano bar.

No, no, no. I don't sing. I haven't got a gift for it. Oh, yes, you do, baby.

A pitcher of margaritas.

So, go ahead.

Sing for him.

You're wired for it.

You just don't know it.

If you know what I mean.

Oh.

Okay.

Here goes.

You're so good.

You're too good for me, you are.

You're the best darn person I have known by far. If I could,

you know I'd never throw this curve.

You're a goddess, and I'm not what you deserve.

What I am saying...

must end.

But though it must, I want to be your

friend.

Friend?

Friend.

You want to be my friend?

You want to be my friend?

Oh, that's nice.

You want to be my friend? I want a lover and a husband, a partner and a spouse.

I want someone to split expenses. is with me on a summer house i want a

for my unborn children someone who's in tune since he'll be 39 next month i want

him rather soon i want someone to buy rugs and lamps with someone who co -sign

want a small joint bank account in his name and in mine i need someone i can

fight with learn to cook for love to feed come to think of it

You to be a friend.

My name on the leaf. Huh?

Is my name on this leaf. Well, yeah.

Then get out of my apartment.

That's my angel.

That was great. Nobody can beat it. You made me laugh so hard, you made me cry.

I just wish it wasn't so true.

I'm sorry. I'm being so pathetic.

I just loved him.

I really loved him.

I'm sure you did, Zoe.

Oh, my God.

Maybe you were right, honey.

Jeff? Yeah.

Hey.

Hi.

Figured you might be here.

It's really nice to see you.

I looked at the calendar this morning.

I thought this might be a difficult night for you.

You remembered our anniversary?

I don't think guys remember things like that.

You see, that is why I left.

Did you want to get a drink? No, I can't.

I got to be somewhere, but I wanted to come by and make sure that you were

I got...

This is for you.

It's yellow for friendship.

I thought it would be a real shame, you know, if we couldn't be. Me too.

The night is bitter.

The stars have lost their glitter.

The winds grow colder and suddenly you're older.

And all because of the man that got away.

that won you has run off and undone you that great beginning

has seen a final ending don't know what happened it's just

a crazy game

Goodbye, every trick of his, we're on to.

But fools will be fools.

And where's he gone to?

It gets rougher.

It gets rougher. Lonely and tougher.

Lonely and tougher. With hope you burn up. With hope you burn up. Tomorrow he

may turn up. Tomorrow he may turn up.

There's just no letter.

fun you guys should try it so

why don't you just go talk to her

what let's go say hi it's pretty obvious you want to i'm andrew philly

hi so that's this girl

Right, so which one of you telepathically invited me over here?

I'm Peter.

Well, Peter, why don't we skip the small talk and go straight to take a hike?

Bad for him.

Good for you.

Yeah, well, he's not exactly Zoe's type.

So you know her name and you know her type.

You know, this sounds something like unrequited love to me. I deliver

to the company she works for. She signs the receipts.

Beautiful handwriting.

It seems to me you've got two choices, okay?

You can go over, talk to her, see what happens, or you can stay here and keep

with this stalking routine.

I can't do it, Andrew.

The thing is, I knew I wouldn't be able to.

I don't even know why I came here.

Oh, honey, you know exactly why you came.

What you can't figure out is why you're being such a wimp about it.

Hey, go easy on me here.

You're not alone, you know.

There's a lot of other shy people in the world.

And frankly, it's to your credit, you're not like some of these other palookas

in here.

But when...

When somebody's giving you a push in the right direction, I'd listen.

For all you know, that somebody might be an angel.

You an angel, Andrew?

You never know.

Zoe, you have a suitor.

That Billy?

The delivery guy?

I didn't recognize him without that gag me uniform.

Oh, he doesn't like me.

He came to the office to see you, and I told him that you'd be here.

The thing is, I see her every day.

If I were to go over there and tell her how I feel, and she didn't feel the same

way, I would have to transfer to another route, and I would never see her.

Billy, nobody's promised tomorrow.

So don't pass up the opportunity to tell somebody how you feel about them.

That would be a push.

It's the best I can do.

Hi, Zoe.

Hi.

How are you doing?

I'm good.

I was wondering if you'd like to dance.

Go ahead. I thought it's harder to look.

Yeah, okay.

Zoe, I just want you to know that I think very highly of you.

You think very highly of me?

What I mean is, I love the fact that you eat baklava at nine in the morning.

I love your handwriting.

Wow.

Look, I know this sounds insane, but I think you're the most amazing person I

have ever met.

When I look at you, everything inside me just... God, I am an idiot.

Okay. Give me a chance.

I'll get there.

I'm sad.

I'm happy.

I'm sad.

I'm happy.

See you tomorrow, guys.

Bye.

Okay, so let me get this straight.

You visit your mother.

You bake strudel.

I guess now you're going to tell me you volunteer at the hospital, right?

Well, actually, the senior citizen program at the park, which reminds me.

You should know there is another woman in my life.

Her name's Lola. She's 82.

Where do we go from here?

You know, I heard you talking with the other girls about all the things Jeff

used to do.

Balloon rides, sending you three dozen roses when you were sick.

the fancy French dinners.

And I think all those things are great, and you deserve all of them and more.

But you should know, I can't afford that stuff.

No, I don't need that stuff, Billy. I mean, I could buy you one rose three

times over the course of a few years.

And if we ever got married...

I would give you my firstborn child.

Well, I guess I have to share him.

Oh, man, it's almost three, and my shift starts at five.

Can I give you a ride?

Actually, I came here with Monica, so... Okay.

So I guess I'll see you tomorrow.

Thanks for the push.

Sure.

I'll walk out with you.

Hey, Zoe.

I just wanted to say your name again.

Are

you

ready to go?

Yeah.

And they all lived happily ever after.

Come on, Lou, let's go home.

Happily ever after.

Now, there's a nice idea.

Gloria, we're angels.

And happily ever after only happens in fairy tales.

This is so great. I mean, what are the chances of both of us connecting with

great guys on the same night?

Apparently, 100%.

Don't be bitter.

I'll bet your guy's just right around the corner.

Oh, you're beginning to sound like one of Betty's steppy old love songs.

Well, we always said there's one perfect guy out there for each of us, and

yesterday I would have sworn it was Jeff.

Yesterday you did swear it was Jeff.

That was before I danced with Billy.

Shouldn't we say something?

That's not our job right now.

Never late.

I mean, don't they advertise never, ever late?

He probably overslept. No.

He's having second thoughts. He can't face me.

And so he's got a different route now.

I knew it.

He just, he seemed so sincere.

He was sincere.

Well, then where is he?

I'm looking for Zoe.

Who are you?

RDS. I've got some packages.

Where's Billy?

On his way into work this morning, he was hit by a drunk driver.

What?

Where is he?

Where is he?

You better be sure because this is really, really important.

I'm sure.

I'm sorry.

I'll go after her.

Okay, let's go.

You used to hear and fix the computer.

But I want to come with you and be an angel.

You need to be an angel fixing a computer.

You'll be fine.

When I saw you walk in here the other day, I honestly thought you came to make

somebody as happy as you made me and Lou.

Sometimes we do that.

And sometimes we just have to make them stronger.

Somebody just got lucky.

And that somebody is me.

Bartender, how about another for my beautiful friend here and vodka rocks

me?

I remember you and Peter.

I was abruptly dispatched by your friend last night.

I know, I know. I probably deserved it.

Look, whoever he is, he isn't worth it.

Hurt a gorgeous lady like you.

You want to get out of here?

No.

Okay.

All right, I had to try.

Take care of yourself.

Wait.

Maybe I do want to come.

Excuse us.

Zoe, don't leave with this man.

I don't think that's any of your business.

Well, then, it's mine.

Maybe some other time, okay?

What is this?

He didn't really want to go home with that man tonight.

I just didn't want to be alone.

Oh, you're not alone, honey.

You're so very not alone right now.

You're talking to an angel. That's right.

Monica is an angel.

And so is Tess. Don't be afraid.

I've been visited by an angel before.

And I know it's frightening the first time, but... The best thing that ever

happened to me. Now, just listen.

It's true, Zoe.

I am an angel.

An angel?

Yes.

A messenger from God.

The one true God who is love. Who created love.

And who loves you and Billy so much that even in the midst of tragedy, he's near

you and he wants to comfort you.

Comfort me?

Well, then why didn't he just save Billy?

There are angels everywhere, Zoe.

Whispering guidance.

Offering direction.

Last night, an angel whispered in someone's ear, don't drink.

Don't drink and drive your car.

But once again, God was ignored.

And once again, an innocent person died.

It has broken your heart.

But it has broken God's heart, too.

Did Billy get an angel?

Yes.

The same angel who gave him the courage to say those words to you last night.

Words that he'd been practicing to say to you for so long.

Billy died with nothing left unsaid, Zoe.

With no love left unexpressed.

And when he went to work this morning, it was the happiest he'd ever been in

life. It was the happiest I'd ever been in my life.

And now I'm alone.

But the truth is that I'm so scared.

I don't want to spend my life alone.

I want a husband to hold, and I want children to raise, and a family to

love and to share my life with. And last night, I was hurting so much.

And Billy walked in, and I thought he was really the one this time.

The one.

Zoe, love is not about waiting for the one who is destined to love you.

Stop shopping for love.

You're not going to find it searching the singles bars and the happy hours

looking for the right man.

Well, I'm lonely.

And I'm afraid that time is running out for me.

God's timing is not your timing.

Only he knows what and who is ahead for you.

He's asking you to trust him.

You won't be ready for the right man, Zoe, until you become the right woman.

The strong, confident, generous woman that God created you to be.

When you learn to love anyone who comes your way, hungry child,

A homeless stranger.

A friendless neighbor.

Then you can't help but draw love back to yourself.

Like Billy.

Like Billy.

How do I do that?

How do I learn how to be that person?

You ask the question.

And then you listen to the voice that answers.

You listen to God.

You listen to the angels.

And you follow the example of those good people who've been there too.

Betty and Lou.

Betty and Lou have been together forever. It's been so easy for them.

Honey.

Lou and I have only been together for three years.

That man in the picture with me over there, that was Mike.

That was my first husband.

I loved that man with all my heart.

And when he was killed in Korea, I thought my life was over.

And then one day, this angel walked in named Tess.

She showed up and gave me the same kind of talking to that you just got from

Monica.

And I was just heartbroken enough to take her advice.

I didn't spend the next 30 years of my life looking for love.

I just ran around sharing it as much as I could.

And when Lou walked in that door...

I knew the wait was worth it. God doesn't always deliver on our timetable,

sweetheart. He just delivers the best.

So what are you going to do?

Will you do me a favor?

What?

Will you tell Billy I miss him?

Tell him that I'm going to miss everything that might have been.

But tell him I'm so glad that he came over and talked to me.

I will tell him.

Make someone happy.

Make just one someone happy.

Make just one heart the heart.

You cling to one

smile that cheers you.

One face that really likes you. Okay, so there's the kind of love that God gives

all of us. Yeah.

There's the kind of love that friends give each other, like us. Right.

And then there's the romantic kind of love, like those two over there are

experiencing. Well, kind of.

Okay, so that's it, right? That covers everything about love? No, Gloria.

There's a lot more.

Lucy, there's more?

Oh, yeah.

For example, there's another kind of love right over there.

You don't look a day over 40.

So, Lola, what do you say? You want to go to the zoo today?

Absolutely. You've got it. Okay.

one someone happy and you'll find that you

will be happy too.
