It's so funny.

Sometimes I'll start to say something to Michael and he'll finish my sentence.

And sometimes Michael will start to say something and I'll finish his sentences.

And sometimes we'll both start to say something and we'll finish each other's

sentences. Do either of you guys ever shut up?

Hey, one day you'll meet a guy and you'll bore me to death talking about

Yeah, like that's going to happen.

Oh, yeah, it will.

I mean, it may not be today or tomorrow or next year. You can stop now, Tia.

Okay. If you can meet the perfect guy.

What would he look like?

Well, he'll be tall as Will Smith, muscular as David Justice, and cute as

Satan.

That's him!

Him?

Thank you.

Do you mind? I'm having a moment here.

Hey, he's smiling at you.

No way. His girlfriend's probably sitting behind me.

Hey, she's old.

He is smiling at me.

No, he's not.

Just go over there and say something to him.

I don't know. What do I say?

Well, how about, what you doing, gay licking?

What would I say in this century?

Okay, I can do this.

He's gone, Pam. My guy's gone.

I'm sorry.

I hate this whole dating thing, trying to meet guys.

Yeah, I'm so glad I have a boyfriend.

I'm gonna take you out, girl.

Oh.

Oh. Oh, Mrs. Mara, have you seen a pearl -lit earring in a pretty ruby -like

cubic zirconia gold -plated setting?

No. Where were you when you last had it on?

Oh, let's see.

Well, Terrence was on the couch, and I was on... Oh, never mind.

So are you guys going out tonight?

Yeah.

He's taking me out for a nice romantic dinner at Lake Cafe.

And our lips are going to be flumby.

You're so lucky.

Oh.

What are you so down in the mouth about?

It's just that I saw this guy today, and I wish I could have said something, but

now I'm never going to see him again.

Oh, no, honey, there's no such thing as never.

How am I going to find them?

All I know is I've sniffed them out like laughing, sniffed out lost Cub Scout.

So what are we laughing about?

We're kind of private, Dad. You know, girl talk.

Ah, Tamara, Tamara.

You can talk girl talk to me.

I happen to be in touch with my feminine side.

Ray, when you've had water weight gain and cramps, then we can talk about your

feminine side.

If you have a problem with anything, I'll understand.

Okay, well, I thought this guy really liked, and he was gone before I could

meet him.

Well, maybe it just wasn't meant to be.

Oh.

And you call yourself a woman.

Okay, okay.

I know what you're going through, Tamara.

There was this girl in high school, Natalie Burke.

She was, how do you kids today say, beautiful?

Beautiful.

Hey, I'm still here.

Anyway. I used to walk by her house every day and just stare for hours.

That's not love, Ray. That's talking.

So, what happened?

Nothing.

I often wonder what would happen, though, if I... Ow!

My earring!

Thank you, Ray.

Come here, honey.

Listen. When it comes to love, it's never too late.

Aw, thanks, Lisa.

Now, why don't you come and help me pick out a dress for my man? I wanted to

say... I look way too good to touch.

But don't let that stop you.

Hello, operator.

I guess in the Detroit area, a listing for Natalie Burke.

Lisa.

Sweetheart.

Happy three -month anniversary.

Three -month anniversary?

You didn't remember?

Oh, of course I remember. It was a three -month anniversary.

It's just that your present's out being engraved.

What is it?

A puppy.

Oh, it's okay. Yeah, open your present.

Here, let me help you.

Oh, I can't believe you spent so much money.

Oh, wait a minute. I can't accept this. This is too extravagant. Okay, you talk

me into it.

Anita, I wanted to get this for you because... Because I love you.

I really love you.

This is just like Sleepless in Seattle.

Except I'm desperate in Detroit.

Do you know what you're going to say to him?

Yes, I have it all worked out.

I'm sure we'll be seeing each other.

Come here.

Let's go home. We're falling asleep.

No, no, no. He's going to show up.

There he is.

Hi.

Hi, baby. How you doing?

I said hi.

I think we can go home now.

Hello, Mrs. Burke.

This is Ray Campbell.

I went to school with your daughter, Natalie.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, I'm fine, thank you. And you?

Well, having gout is never fun.

Listen, I wanted to get in touch with Natalie, you know, see how she's doing,

kind of catch up.

No, ma 'am, I'm not still stalking her.

Hello? Hello?

Ray, I gotta talk to you. Yeah, what is it?

If you said you loved me... I'm not finished. How you gonna

top that?

Hey, and if I didn't say I love you back, what would you do?

Oh, somehow I'd get on with my life.

I couldn't say it.

I just couldn't say it.

Wait a minute.

This is about Terrence, isn't it?

Oh, I really screwed up this relationship.

I mean, there I was, sitting across from this wonderful man, and for the first

time in my life, I couldn't speak.

And I missed it?

Well,

you know, sometimes it's hard to tell someone you love them.

Well, maybe if I warmed up to it, I practiced a little.

Ray, could you pretend to be Terrence?

Me? Yeah.

This doesn't involve any kind of weird touching or baby talk, is it?

Stand up straight now and loosen up your tie. Oh, Ray, don't squinch up your

mouth like that. Now, come on, Ray. Lisa.

Look sexy.

Well, I guess that's close enough.

Terrence, I... I... I... I love you.

There. You have it.

Oh, come on, Ray. Wait. Let me try it again, okay?

I love you.

I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. Okay, okay.

Fine. You got it. Now, when you see Terrence, just pretend he's me. And

entire evening?

Terrence, I...

of those tomatoes you brought over last week.

Well, thank you, Lisa.

Is that all you wanted to tell me?

No, I also wanted to tell you that I... I... Could you squinch up your mouth a

little bit like Ray?

Look, Lisa, I got a lot of work to do.

I'm glad you like... Oh, loved the tomatoes.

and really cute dimple?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I hate this guy.

I can't believe I'm posting his pictures all over town.

Yeah, I'm so glad I have a boyfriend.

Don't you just want to smack her?

I just want to touch her.

Draw, Roger.

All right, I'm almost done.

Okay, are you ready to see your dream guy?

Yeah.

I think it's easy.

Tamara, you should just forget about Dijon and move on with your life.

I'm over him.

I feel so empty. Like, my life has no meaning.

Your life never had any meaning.

Yeah, but I didn't know it.

He wasn't even that cute.

Yeah, and I don't even think those dimples are real.

And as far as I'm concerned, he's the big loser.

ever just my man again.

Hi.

Hi. Um, I saw you on the bus the other day, and I think you saw me, but if you

didn't see me, I didn't see you.

I saw you.

I saw you, too.

You want to sit down?

Dijon? No, it's Robert.

But I have an uncle named Denny. I knew it!

Um, well, I'm really glad to meet you, and I hope I can meet you on the bus

again or any other place.

Hey, I'm having a party. Sure, I'd love to.

Wanna come? Sure, I'd love to.

do you feel about what Marge just said?

We love you, Marge.

Hello.

I don't believe we've seen you here before.

I'm new to the group. My name is Lisa.

Group. Hi, Lisa.

Hi, group.

So, what brought you here?

Maybe someone else should go. I'm feeling kind of shy.

Group.

Please share, Lisa.

I've been seeing someone, and the problem is, he told me he loved me, but

can't say it back.

What do you think your problem is?

I don't know.

Group?

It only works when I do it.

It's kind of hard for me to talk about this.

I've had a lot of relationships that seemed good at the beginning, but then

crashed and burned after I said those three little words, you know what I

I mean, what if that same thing happens between Terrence and me? I don't want

that to happen.

Think I just had a breakthrough.

Or a breakdown.

You did good, Lisa.

Group?

Darn good.

Oh, no.

I'm still so confused.

But I am glad I came to this women who can't express their love to men group.

Thank you, Lisa.

But this is the women who can't express their love to women group.

Y 'all got any refreshments?

Yeah, good for you.

Yeah, no, sorry.

I'm really glad you could make it, Tamara.

Robbie's been asking about you.

He has?

He's really been looking forward to having you at his birthday party.

Oh, I didn't know it was his birthday.

Yeah, come on in.

Happy birthday!

wants to watch Aladdin.

Why don't you sit here next to the birthday boy?

Yeah.

Right here, Tamera.

Sure, I'd love to, birthday boy.

What are you doing, Letha?

At the end of every relationship, I pack a box of memories.

I'm the beacons of love.

You still haven't told him you loved him?

But now I know why. I just don't know how.

Besides, it's too late anyway. He hasn't called me, and I'm afraid to call him.

Well, I'm sorry, Lisa.

What do you got in there?

Six old movie stubs and a half a box of goobers.

That's all you did?

No, but I couldn't put this couch in this box.

May I speak to Natalie, please?

Speaking.

Natalie, this is Ray Campbell from Mumford High.

You probably don't remember me, but... Ray?

Ray Campbell?

Of course I remember you.

You do?

Yeah. Do you still wear those fluorescent bell -bottoms?

Only on the weekend.

Oh, Ray, how are you?

I'm fine.

It's been a long time, hasn't it? Oh, yeah.

Last time I saw you, you were standing outside my house.

Oh, so you saw me, huh?

Every time.

Those pants did glow in the dark.

Hey, Ray, remember those Friday afternoon school dances?

Ah, do I. Everybody in the gym doing the temptation walk?

You do know why they call it the temptation walk, don't you? No, why?

Because I get tempted whenever I see you walk.

You look so out of height in your mini skirt and white go -go.

You look pretty good.

You know, the reason I called is I, uh, I... Honey, hurry up. We're gonna be

late.

Oh, is that your husband?

Yeah, we're going out.

Well, I better let you go then.

Ray, it was nice talking to you.

Yes, it was nice talking...

Natalie, I really liked you back then. A lot.

I used to think about you all the time.

I just wanted to tell you that.

Oh, Ray, that was really sweet.

Thanks for telling me.

Yeah. You take care of yourself.

Ray? Yeah?

I really liked you, too.

Bye.

Bye.

Michael and I were eating hamburgers the other day. Michael said that he was

thinking about becoming a vegetarian, which I think is very sensitive of him.

Now, babe, open your mouth.

Open your mouth.

Now, don't talk with your mouth open.

Tamara, how was your party?

I left early.

They're still trying to figure out where Carmen Sandiego is.

What? The man of my dreams is only 12 years old.

I hope it wasn't that bad, sweetheart.

Well, I whipped their butts in musical chairs.

Well, I guess neither one of us had a good day.

My girl, my girl, my girl.

Talk about my girl.

Ray, must you add to our pain?

Why is everybody so depressed?

We're having men trouble.

Not me. I have a boyfriend.

You want to smack her?

So. the party didn't go well, huh?

Let me give you a little advice. Dad, I know what you're gonna say. It wasn't

meant to be.

No, no, I was gonna say it was great that you went for it.

Really? Yeah.

Tonight, I called Natalie Burke and I told her how much I really liked her

then. You did?

Yeah. I mean, I know it took me 20 years, but, you know, I don't like to

into anything.

The important thing is that I did.

I don't know, back then I was either scared, hung up, who knows why, but I

good thing pass.

Too many people are afraid to take a chance.

You got to go for it.

Right, Lisa?

Lisa?

Oh, that sounds so sweet.

Can I hear it one more time?

Terrence, honey, I love you. I love you. I love you. Oh, I love you too, baby.

He's cute.

Now, Tamera, don't be shy and miss this opportunity because I'm... Ow!

Hi, I'm Tamera.

I'm Brian.

You know, you are very pretty.
