Original subtitles

Hey Dad, you ready to outdo last Fourth of July?

Sorry, but I can't divulge my secrets.

I'm going to have to keep you in suspense a little bit longer.

Not fair!

Well, I can tell you this.

In a little while, I'm going to light up that sky big time.

You think you can make it happen, Mom?

Well, I have total faith in your father, but then I am married to him.

Oh, you left out blissfully.

I love helping you guys.

Well, you've been doing it since you were three.

Yeah, I know.

You owe me a lot of back pay.

Uh oh.

Talk to the financial officer.

Check's in the mail, sweetie.

Amy!

Amy!

Uh, it looks like Sammy is summoning me.

Can you guys spare me?

I think we can handle it from here.

Okay, I love you.

Have a great show.

Have fun, kiddo.

Thanks!

Bye!

Surprise!

Oh!

Our tradition.

Big moments call for cupcakes.

You are rocking the outfit, by the way.

Look at your nails!

Thank you!

I may have outdone myself.

Mm-hmm.

eBay?

Don't dare you.

I searched every thrift store between here and Seattle for this ensemble.

Well, you look even more patriotic than last year.

Well, I wish I could say the same for you.

I am!

Why, thank you!

Bye!

Bye!

Mm-hmm.

Oh, see?

Much better.

Now I feel like singing the Star Spangled Banner.

Yeah.

Ah!

So good!

This is my definition of nirvana.

I'm gonna miss you so much.

Oh, didn't I tell you?

Yeah, I'm coming with you.

I wish.

So, how did your folks take it?

I didn't tell them yet.

Amy!

Tomorrow.

What about Hank?

Tonight.

Tonight.

Yikes!

You are so brave.

I want to be just like you when I grow up.

I am not feeling very grown up at the moment.

Amy?

Hmm?

Uh...

I want to say something.

Really?

Because I wanted to tell you something, too.

Do you want to go first or should I?

Uh, it's okay.

You can go first.

Okay.

You remember how the Seattle Observer offered me that internship?

Yeah.

You couldn't have planned it more perfectly.

You'll only be like a few miles away from my law school.

Okay.

Well, plans have changed just slightly.

They have?

The craziest thing happened.

The Chicago Post offered me a job.

Not an internship.

A real job.

That's great!

Congratulations.

Thank you.

I'm...

I'm excited.

I just thought you wanted to stay here.

With me.

I did.

Of course I did.

I...

This just came out of nowhere.

And I...

I couldn't say no.

Because I might not get a chance like this again.

I mean, Hank and Chicago.

It's my dream job.

What about us?

We're still us.

Okay.

How, though?

I mean, you won't even live here.

Well...

I know it's not ideal.

But we'll just figure it out as we go along, right?

Right.

Oh, great.

Okay, what did you want to tell me?

Nothing.

Nothing.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Totally.

Nothing.

Oh.

Fireworks are starting.

Listen up, people.

Circulation is down.

We're not connecting enough with our readers.

We need real human interest.

I'm sorry.

Yes.

Something meaty.

Larry, what do you got?

Uh, top ten taco stands in Chicago.

Said you wanted something meaty.

Funny, Larry.

Wendy.

I need a minute to regroup.

Help me out here, Amy.

What if we do a profile of everyday people we come in contact with?

The folks that we take for granted.

The bus driver.

The waitress at the diner.

The dry cleaner.

You know, get to know them.

Find out their dreams.

Their daily battles.

No good?

Snooze fest.

You want something bigger?

Yeah.

Give me something explosive.

I'll circle back to you.

How's it coming?

Well, Fourth of July is coming up.

What about we do a behind-the-scenes look into the fireworks industry?

Yeah.

I didn't mean literally explosive.

No, really, there's a lot that goes into putting on a big show.

Launching a firework is like launching a cannonball out of a cannon.

The shells can be huge, sometimes three feet in diameter.

I could interview some pyrotechnicians.

That's actually not bad.

Talk to the wildest hardcore guys out there.

Actually, my dad's been doing this for 30 years.

Wait, your dad blows up stuff for a living?

Yeah, it's the family business.

Get out of here.

You never even mentioned it.

You never asked.

That is the coolest thing I've ever heard.

Have you personally set off fireworks?

Oh, yeah, many times.

Well, then let's make this a first-person narrative.

Write about your family and what it was like to grow up in that world.

Go home to Wisconsin.

Washington.

Whatever.

We'll run it on the Fourth of July.

Oh, Amy.

Yeah.

It's nice to see that creative spark again.

See if you can get it back on this assignment.

Have I been low on spark?

Lately, it seems that your heart hasn't been in your work.

I need more from you, Amy.

You got it.

Oh, Jack Johnson tickets tonight.

Interesting.

Well, I love Jack Johnson, but I can't tonight.

It's just, it's insane.

I have to pack, and then Phil's taking me out to dinner.

I wasn't inviting you.

Oh.

Well, yeah, um, he's taking me to one of those fancy restaurants

that he adores, but I can't even decide for the menu.

I just really don't feel like getting dressed up.

I'm thinking maybe I could try to convince him to order pizza.

What do you think?

You're busy with your own stuff.

Cancel.

Yeah, it's just, it's just not like me to cancel.

Then don't.

Just make a decision, Amy.

Helpful.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Hey!

Oh, it's so good to see a friendly face.

Guess what?

What?

I'm coming home to do a story on my parents.

Are you kidding?

Oh my God, that's wonderful!

I know!

I haven't been home for Fourth of July since, since I left.

Um, are you wearing a dress?

Yes.

Phil is taking me to some chic French restaurant, so I figured I should at least

try to look nice.

French food?

You?

I know, I know.

I'm trying to expand my palette, even if it kills me.

Stan, stand back.

Let me see the shoes.

I haven't found them yet.

Uh, okay.

I have you.

I tried your closet.

Closet?

What's that?

You know how tiny my place is.

Here they are.

Um, why were your shoes in the oven?

Did you bake them?

No.

It's broken.

So I'm going to put them in the oven.

I think I've just been using it for storage

until the super can get around to fixing it.

High heels.

Yeah.

You're scaring me, Amy.

Wait.

Is that rouge on your cheeks?

No.

It's just, um, it's just a little flush, you know, because the, the air

conditioning keeps coming and going, mostly going.

Oh.

No.

One day, you're going to let me give you a fresh

makeover and you too can look just like this.

Ah, no.

There's only one you, Sammy.

True.

And I have got something very big to tell you.

Oh, can it wait?

If, if I don't go now, I'm going to be late.

Ah, yeah.

Oh.

Um, yeah.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

I want to hear your news.

Then just call me the second you get back then.

Okay.

I will.

Bye.

Bye.

Babe, you look absolutely stunning.

Thank you.

I just, I love it when you get dressed up.

Merci beaucoup.

De rien, monsieur.

Mademoiselle.

I'll have the hamburger, please.

She's... She's kidding.

Honey, I've already ordered for us.

Oh, you have?

Mm-hmm.

To us.

Bottoms up.

A mousse bouche.

Mmm.

Pistachio and pomegranate octopus.

Merci.

Oh.

Mmm.

Oh, isn't that delicious?

I'm sure.

I didn't know it was over so fast.

Well, wait till you see what's next.

You are in for a rare treat.

You've really gone through a lot of trouble for this.

Well, I pulled a few strings.

I mean, this place is book solid all year.

But you are so worth it.

That's sweet, thank you.

So, have you had a chance to find a gown for the gala?

Uh, the gala.

Yeah, the black-tie benefit for the opera.

Oh, when is it again?

Honey, it's next weekend when I get back from Abu Dhabi.

Oh, Phil, I'm so sorry.

I can't next weekend.

No, work is sending me back to Lakeside on assignment, so...

Oh, it's such an amazing party.

What's so funny?

It's... it's on fire.

It's supposed to be.

That's their house specialty.

That is as good a steak, Diane, as they have at Chez Jean in Paris.

I'm sorry.

All of that.

This is just a little lost on me.

Yeah.

But I'm sure it's wonderful.

Yeah.

You must have a sixth sense.

I literally just came in from my date.

Okay, what's your news?

Okay, you're not going to believe it,

because I can hardly believe it myself, but.

I'm getting married.

What?

What do you mean you're getting married?

I mean, I am.

I'm tying the knot.

I'm saying I do.

Oh my gosh.

That's amazing.

I know, right?

Wait.

You didn't even tell me you were dating somebody.

You've been holding out on me.

Amy.

Yeah?

Will you be my maid of honor?

Like you even have to ask.

Wait.

Did you set a date yet?

When's the wedding?

July 4th.

Wow.

Okay.

That's soon.

I know.

But you know that I've always wanted a 4th of July wedding.

I know.

I know.

But back up.

Who's the lucky guy?

The guy?

The guy.

The guy you're marrying.

Yeah.

Oh.

The guy.

Yeah.

Yes.

The guy.

Well.

Huh.

As a matter of fact.

It's um.

It's Hank.

Hank Lyons?

Yep.

Hank?

As in my ex-boyfriend?

That was so long ago.

And you guys did break up.

Yeah.

Yes.

We did.

What?

That's...

Awesome.

What?

Wow.

I know, right?

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Wow.

Hello?

Hey, Mom.

It's me.

Guess who's coming home for a visit?

Well, I hope it's you.

I'm not a fan of anonymous house guests.

It's me.

Oh, your father will be so happy.

I am writing a story about you and Dad and the business.

A story about us?

Why?

Because you guys do the best small-town fireworks show in the country.

Oh.

Well, when you put it that way.

Wait.

Do I have to be photographed?

Yes.

Of course.

Oh.

Of course you do.

I'm going to have to lose five pounds first.

You do not need to lose five pounds.

Oh, you're such a good liar.

And I'm not just coming home to do the article.

I'm going to be the maid of honor at a wedding.

Oh.

How lovely.

Well, who's getting married?

Sammy and Hank.

Hank?

That's a surprise.

I know.

Well, good for them.

I mean, as long as it doesn't bother you, sweetie.

I mean, it was a little weird when she first

told me, but, you know, I'm happy for them.

And I haven't seen him in seven years.

Hank is ancient history.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And you're with Phil now.

And I'm with Phil now.

Hey.

Hey.

I, uh...

Mwah.

I picked you up a little something, but I forgot to give it to you last night.

Oh, thanks.

Yeah.

It's, uh...

It's a forget-me-not.

Get it?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, it's really pretty.

Thank you.

Okay.

I got to catch a flight.

I'll see you soon.

Okay.

Mwah.

Miss you like crazy.

Oh, oh.

One quick thing.

I am going to be in a wedding back home for Fourth of July.

My best friend, Sammy, is getting married.

Do you think you could make it?

Oh, shoot.

I'm still in Geneva.

Oh.

It's okay.

No.

No.

You know what?

I'll rearrange things.

I'll meet you in Lakeview in time for the wedding.

Lakeside.

Lakeside.

Okay.

I got to go.

Love you.

Love you.

Bye.

Bye.

Have a safe flight.

Thank you.

Whew.

Oh, it's so good to be home.

Well, your father's in the office.

He'll want to see you right away.

Look who's here.

Paige.

Hey, big city girl.

It is so good to have you home again.

And we have her through the fourth.

It hasn't been the same without you.

You look thin.

Have you been eating?

Of course I have.

Oh, wait.

Hold on.

Oh, I know.

My phone.

Ah.

Sammy's calling.

Hello.

I need you right away.

How soon can you come over?

I can be there in 20 minutes?

Yeah.

I'll just change.

I'll be right there.

Okay.

Well, it looks like I am on wedding duty.

Already?

You just got here.

I bet it's not going to take that long.

And you know Sammy.

She's just excited, and it's part of being her maid of honor.

I hope.

Oh, come on.

How hard can it be?

Sammy?

Ah!

You made it!

Hi.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

You look so pretty.

Thanks.

You too.

Did you do something to your hair?

I brushed it.

Oh, it's very flattering.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, my gosh.

It is Fourth of July, wedding central here.

Yeah.

I may have gone a little overboard.

You?

No.

I have a zillion decisions to make.

I desperately need your input, Amy.

I don't really know much about weddings, but I just...

Wow.

What's this?

That is for my dad's office.

What do you think?

You know, it's bold.

Bold.

Yes.

How is the interior decorating going?

It's a little slow.

Yeah.

Oh.

Which reminds me.

I need you to like me on Facebook.

Okay.

Not me.

Sammy's Designs.

Got it.

Wow.

You've done so much since I last saw you.

I know.

It's pretty fabulous, isn't it?

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

I'm going to go get my hair done.

So, how long have you and Hank been together?

Oh, a while.

I don't know.

It just sort of just happened.

We started hanging out, doing movies and dinner, and

one day I realized I want to be more than just friends.

Amy, I just...

I don't want things to be awkward between us.

Awkward?

No.

Not at all.

Good.

I'm so relieved.

You have no idea.

I thought about asking for your blessing.

You know, the whole don't date your best friend's ex-boyfriend thing.

Just...

I chickened out.

Stop.

Really.

Like, don't even give it another thought.

Hank and I... I mean, that...

That was so long ago.

Yeah.

Right.

Yeah.

All that matters to me is that you're happy.

I am.

Good.

I want you to be happy, too.

Oh, I am.

I am.

And, by the way, Phil is going to come to the wedding.

Really?

Yeah.

That's great.

Oh, my God.

It's the time that I met him.

I am so excited for us to meet the new wedding planner.

I hope that I like her better than the first two.

What was wrong with them?

Everything.

Oh.

I know it's got to be really hard to do all this without your mom.

It's really hard.

Yeah.

Look, I am so glad that you're here to help me.

You might reconsider all the red, white, and blue, dear.

It's a bit limiting as a color scheme.

My wedding's on the 4th of July.

What other color scheme is there?

I'm just suggesting you scale back.

Maybe use the pops of patriotism here and there.

Just a hint of the holiday, you know?

Not an overload.

A hint?

What fun is that?

Um, you know what it is?

I think Sammy just prefers to make a statement.

Yes, thank you.

See?

She gets it.

There are many ways to make a statement.

I did a 4th of July wedding last year that was quite elegant.

All of the bridesmaids wore simple black gowns.

Black?

This is a wedding, not a funeral.

Yes, I understand.

I don't think you do, Marie.

We are having a major disconnect here.

Well, you might be right, dear.

My next appointment is here.

Why don't you just take a look through?

And see if there's something that speaks to you.

Excuse me.

We have... Okay, let's just... Let's just look.

Did I make an appointment?

Mm-hmm.

Is that not an appointment?

Well...

What you doing?

I'm trying to decipher Sammy's tuxedo notes.

Ah.

That's pride.

Ever stopped you before?

Just tell me again.

Why are you marrying Sammy?

Uh...

I proposed, and she said yes.

Hey, don't get me wrong.

She's a great girl.

Fantastic.

I just, uh...

You know, I always thought you'd end up marrying Amy.

Amy?

Where'd that come from?

I haven't thought about her in years.

So there's no lingering feelings about the woman you almost proposed to?

None whatsoever.

It was a long time ago.

Great.

Hey, I'm just doing my job as best man here, eh?

Trying to make sure you're ready to take that leap.

Dude, I'm totally ready.

I've never been happier.

Great.

Hey, guys!

Hey!

Fred!

Now, uh, my wife baked these for you.

Oh, blueberry.

My favorite.

I owe you.

It's just my little way of saying thanks for all your patience and your hard work,

eh?

Now, that check will be coming soon.

Ah, don't sweat it, Fred.

We know you're good for it.

Come on in.

Help me choose a tux.

Ah.

Okay.

Everything on this menu is so good.

What are you thinking?

Oh, what is that?

Apple pie?

I'm gonna get that.

You really liked her?

I did.

I think she's great.

And the other thing... Hey!

Back in town.

Hey!

Amy Peterson.

Is that really you?

Hi.

Hello.

Good to see you.

How you been?

Good.

Good.

It's been so long.

Hi.

Hi.

Amy.

Hey.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Have a seat.

Have a seat.

Have a seat.

Have a seat.

Have a seat.

Yeah.

Yeah.

The best.

All right.

Well, I know what I'm getting.

So, Amy, what brings you back to Lakeside?

She's my maid of honor.

Really?

That's great.

You didn't tell him that I'm in the wedding?

Nah.

I could have sworn I mentioned it.

No.

Yeah, honey.

No, I don't... I mean...

Well, we know now.

Right?

Yeah.

Whoo.

I'm like... I'm hungry.

You again.

Hey.

Thought I might see you here.

It's part of my daily routine.

I remember.

So... You and Sammy seem happy.

Yeah.

We are.

And you?

Everything is going well with you, right?

Look, I was thinking about it, and I just don't want it to be awkward,

you know, with me being in the wedding or... No, it won't be.

We won't let it.

Okay.

So we're good?

Absolutely.

Friends?

Friends.

See ya.

Have a good run.

Amy?

Sweetie.

Did you hear me?

I'm sorry, Mom.

What'd you say?

Oh, I just asked you when Phil's coming in.

Oh, um, not till the first.

Just a quick trip, and then he's off to Genoa or Geneva.

I can't remember which.

He sure travels a lot.

How do you find time to be together?

Well, I mean, it's a constant juggling act, but, um, you know, we don't have a

lot of time together, but time we do have is more than enough, you know?

He's a really good guy, and I am glad that you finally get to meet him.

Yeah, we are too.

So how's Chicago?

Oh, it's Chicago.

You know, my feelings fluctuate depending on the

day, the weather, the traffic on Lakeshore Drive.

I guess I just thought it would be different somehow.

Well, how about the paper?

Things are going good there, right?

Um, it kind of hit a wall, and I don't know why.

My editor says I need to step up my game.

Is that why you've been sounding so down lately?

Maybe.

I'm hoping that this article that I'm

working on will just turn everything around.

I'm sure it will.

Yeah.

You'll figure it out, honey.

We have faith in you.

Yeah, thank you.

It's Sammy.

She'll probably take it.

Hello?

Can you come over now?

It's really important.

Uh, yeah.

I will... I will be there soon.

I thought I would give Marie another chance, but she just...

she doesn't understand my vision, so I told her, forget it!

I am not going to let you ruin my world!

I don't think she'd wreck your wedding.

The corpse of patriotism.

Give me a break.

Are you sure you don't want to meet with her one last time?

So I said, Marie, we're done.

Oh.

Okay, well, you know, I'm sure there's got to be

another wedding planner besides the three you fired.

But that's just it, Amy.

I don't want another wedding planner.

You don't?

No.

Oh.

I don't need one.

Perfect.

I have us.

Us?

I have tried everyone locally, Amy, but nobody gets me the way you do.

You are my oldest and closest friend.

We are going to have the most fun ever.

I promise.

Yeah, I know.

I know.

It's just I don't think that I'm really the right person for this.

And I have the article, and I'm on deadline,

and there's just probably not enough time.

Yeah, yeah.

I just don't know if I can.

Honestly, look, I've... Here.

Don't be ridiculous.

I've outlined your responsibilities.

So just skim through in your spare time, okay?

In my spare time?

In my spare time.

I have got a lot to do today.

Wedding cake, china, bridesmaids dressed as flowers.

I'm ready.

I put you in charge of special wedding fireworks.

Sounds great.

Can you arrange those with your dad?

Absolutely.

I'm going to see him later on today to talk

about my article, and I will mention it then.

Perfect.

Yeah.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi, Daddy.

Hi.

Yay.

Yay.

Yay.

Amy Peterson, formerly of Lakeside.

How are you, Ben?

Oh, I'm fine, thanks.

Are they treating you well at the post?

They are.

Dad, close your eyes.

No peeking.

Okay.

Open.

Uh, it's... it's... perfect.

See?

Maybe now you'll let me decorate your whole office.

Well, let's get through the wedding first, and then we'll talk about it.

But, you know, thank you.

Good to see you, Amy.

Nice to see you, too.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye, Dad.

He seems good.

Great.

It's time for cake.

Hank's going to meet us there.

Okay.

These look wonderful.

Oh, hi, Hank.

There's my girl.

Hey.

Hey.

Couldn't pass up the free cake, huh?

I go where my taste buds are needed.

Let's start with the red velvet.

Your favorite.

Mm-hmm.

My favorite.

Tasty.

What's this one, Helen?

White chocolate.

That is an O-M-G.

Try it, you guys.

It's a little sweet.

Amy, don't you just love it?

I can't really say.

Try the lemon cake.

Very popular with our summer brides.

Mm.

Refreshing.

It's too tangy.

Sorry, I'm vetoing the lemon.

No offense, Helen.

Oh, no, none taken.

So, it's between the white chocolate and the red velvet.

White velvet.

White chocolate, Hank.

Um, I would say, yeah.

I would like to change my vote to white chocolate.

Great.

Now, for the design.

Amy, can you open to page 377?

Yes.

Mm-hmm.

377?

Okay, okay.

Uh, 377.

Yeah.

Okay.

I want that.

In white chocolate.

It goes perfectly with my theme.

Mm-hmm.

Stars and stripes and Sammy and Hank forever.

It's catchy.

I'll get right on it.

Every time I see my china, I'll remember the wedding.

Hmm.

What do you think?

It's nice.

You hate it?

No, no, no.

It's, uh, it's very upbeat.

Amy?

Mm-hmm?

What do you think?

Uh, yeah, I like this.

Mm-hmm.

Right?

Um, it's too plain.

I'm gonna go check out the stemware.

Okay.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

I'm Dinah.

Are you two lovebirds here to register?

Uh, uh, no, I'm not.

He is.

Oh, I'm sorry.

No, I'm marrying that little lady over there.

She's lovely.

She is.

All right.

I have got to get going.

You... Oh.

...can take it from here.

Getting heavier.

Bye.

Bye.

12, 6.

I'm planning on having some very large parties.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Thank you, hon.

No, no, no.

I'm planning on having very big parties, so I'm gonna need a lot of this one.

Amy Peterson?

Sylvia.

Hi.

Hi.

I can't believe it.

I haven't seen you in forever.

I know.

Not since we worked on the newspaper in college.

Yeah.

You look great.

You, too.

Oh, please.

I have eight pounds of makeup on.

High definition is so unforgiving.

Oh, that's one of the perks of working in print.

Are you still in Chicago?

Yeah, I am.

Well, you're so lucky you escaped.

Unlike me, still stuck in Sleepy Hollow.

I don't know.

You seem to be doing just fine.

They haven't kicked me off the air just yet.

Oh, I'm on in five.

Oh, so good seeing you.

You, too.

Okay.

Bye.

Hey,

Dad, where are you hiding all the fireworks?

What do you need?

Well, I want to take some pictures for my article, and

then Sandy wants something special for her wedding.

Oh, okay.

Well, here.

Pick out something you like, and, uh, I'll have to order it.

We don't have much in stock.

Yeah, I noticed that.

It seems like, uh, inventory's pretty low right now.

Maybe we should take a look at the list.

I don't know what to do for this time of year.

Yeah, it's been kind of tight the last couple of months.

Well, why didn't you say something?

I didn't want to worry you.

Did something happen?

No, no, no.

It's just a couple of cancellations.

No big deal.

Wait.

You're not getting the town fireworks until July 3rd?

That barely gives you any time to set up.

Come on, Dad, you're putting a lot of pressure on yourself.

Yeah, I don't like it any more than you do, honey.

It's just this year, I didn't have any choice.

So what are you going to do?

I'm going to focus on the 4th of July, and after

that, that should bring everything up to speed.

Dad, no one does the 4th like you, but I still think that's cutting it pretty close.

Once we get the town's payment, everything will be fine.

Well, what can I do?

Oh, no.

Oh, you've got enough on your plate.

Yeah, but so do you.

At least I can work on the stuff for Sammy.

I know what she likes.

Okay.

You know how much your mom and I love working with you.

Me too.

Okay.

Sammy will definitely want wow.

Wow.

This is really bright.

Someone has to bring Sammy in.

This whole 4th of July theme's gone too far.

Amy, you're elected.

Me?

What am I going to say?

I have no power over her.

You're our best friend.

You have to think of something.

Please?

Wow!

Oh, look at you!

What do you think?

Be honest.

Your arms look incredible.

Your waist looks tiny.

Your country salutes you.

Do you really like it?

We really do.

We really do.

Maybe some more red.

There.

What about blue roses?

I don't have those.

Uh, we'd have to dye them.

Perfect!

I know just the shade of blue I want.

I'll send over a sample.

Oh, and tiny American flags.

In the bridal bouquet?

Yeah.

You know what?

Let's just keep it going for the boutonnieres

and the bridesmaids bouquets too.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hmm.

I think we might have to do a 4th of July intervention.

Hang in there.

My work here is done.

I'll see you later.

Great choices.

Amy.

Amy.

You again.

I just have a minute while Sammy finishes up the order in there.

I need a favor.

Okay.

I'm in charge of the rehearsal dinner.

I could really use your help.

I know it's a lot to ask, but I can't do this on my own.

Oh, Hank.

I just don't know if I can do it.

I don't think I have time.

Look, I've got the article about my folks and the bridal showers coming up.

Sammy's got me booked solid.

Well, Sammy wants your help.

She said so.

Ugh.

Okay.

Yes.

You're the best.

Thank you, Amy.

You're welcome.

I think.

Oh.

Okay.

Heh.

One's real.

Deliveries are back.

Service entrance.

Oh, no.

Sorry.

We have an appointment with the manager, Mr. Roth.

Do you really?

Yeah.

11 o'clock.

I think we're early.

Mm-hmm.

If you insist.

This way, please.

I don't know about this place, Amy.

It's a little pretentious.

Exactly.

You want to leave?

You read my mind.

Okay.

Let's go.

Go.

Go.

Go.

Go.

Go.

Go.

Go.

Go.

So, is now a good time to mention that we're lost?

We're not lost.

Oh.

Eagle's Nest is around here somewhere.

Mm-hmm.

The question is where.

Maybe I prefer taking the scenic route.

Oh.

We just saw sign for Lou's barbecue.

Wouldn't you love some of his famous ribs right now?

Sounds great.

But we've got our meeting at the Eagle's Nest.

We can send a caterer a text.

Tell them we're going to be late.

Lou's over there.

Who could give us directions?

Directions, huh?

Just in case.

Mm-hmm.

That we need them.

Right.

Come on, we're so close.

We have had a lot of good times there.

The best.

I finally figured out the seating plan.

Hey, where's Amy?

Oh, she's with Hank.

They're checking out places for the rehearsal dinner.

Alone?

Sammy, have you officially lost your mind?

Of course not.

But what if they still have feelings for each other?

They're friends now.

It's okay for them to hang out.

I mean, does it get any better than this?

Nope.

Mm.

No, it doesn't.

You know what?

If I could pick my last meal, it would definitely be a plate of Lou's ribs.

There's that dark side coming out.

Oh, come on.

If you've got to go, you may as well do it with Lou's

barbecue sauce just dripping all over your face, right?

It certainly makes for a charming visual.

You got something.

You got a little...

You could have a little...

Hank and Amy?

Amy and Hank?

Hello!

Hello!

Is it really you or am I seeing things?

My eyes are all teary from chopping up onions for the sauce.

Onions?

Now, is that the secret?

No.

Oh, what is it?

Hey, like I'm gonna tell her next thing you know to be

splashed across the front page of the Seattle Observer.

Actually, Amy's with the Chicago Post.

Impressive.

Thank you.

Well, that explains why you never come and see me anymore.

So what's your excuse?

I don't have one yet.

Get back to me when you do.

So what else can I get you?

Peach cobbler?

Twist my arm.

Scoop of vanilla, right?

You remembered!

I always remember my best customers.

Even if they abandoned me.

We'll just take one.

We can split it.

We're cooking up a fresh patch.

Be done in about five minutes.

Thanks, Lou.

What?

What?

Let's go see if our bench is still there.

Come on.

Come on.

Yep, there it is.

Something about this place just...

makes you want to camp out here forever.

Eating ribs.

And cornbread.

And peach cobbler.

Hey,

I know this is going to sound crazy to a big city sophisticated like yourself.

Oh yeah, that's me.

But do you think there's any way we could have the rehearsal dinner here?

At Lou's?

Well, I don't really know how Sammy would feel about it.

Has she been here?

No, but I mean, we could dress it up for her and make it look really nice.

Maybe put some lights outside?

Get some good music going?

Get some linen napkins, tablecloths, maybe even those paper lanterns?

Yes.

Red, white, and blue, of course.

I think it could be really beautiful.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I think you're right.

Great.

Lose it is.

Lose it is.

We need it to look pretty, Lou.

Pretty?

Barbecue isn't pretty.

Barbecue is messy.

Can you do pretty?

Tell you what, I'll supply the food and drink

and you supply the pretty just by being here.

Always a charmer.

And you're a lucky guy.

It's about time you two got hitched.

Congratulations.

No, no, Lou, we're not getting married.

What?

No, we haven't been together for a long time.

Is that so?

Best friend.

Good one.

Not a joke.

Wow.

He could have fooled me.

Thanks again for your help.

I really couldn't have done this without you.

Yeah, it was fun.

Okay.

Before you go, um, there's something I've been wanting to say.

Okay.

Uh, I'm just really glad things are working out for you in Chicago.

You know, you took a huge step and it's paying off.

Most people wouldn't have the guts to move away and follow their dreams.

Not you, Amy.

You're fearless.

Yeah, I...

I know it probably seems pretty good on paper, this big, hectic life I have,

but, um, sometimes I just feel like none of it is real.

Like, if I were to look beneath the surface, I just wouldn't find anything.

And...

What, uh...

Sorry, what are you saying exactly?

Oh, I don't know, I'm just...

I'm just babbling.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

What's going on?

You can talk to me, you know.

I know.

I've never met anyone who's easier to talk to than you.

You just have such a...

wonderful way about you, Hank.

I hope I told you that when we were together.

You tell me all the time.

Night, Hank.

Night, Amy.

Why

are you guys working so late?

It's a beautiful night.

You look... I don't know how to say it.

You look happy.

Well, um, Hank and I found a place for the rehearsal dinner today, so...

Yeah, one thing to check off my list.

Yeah.

You guys are so old school.

Do you know, I tried to link your website in the article today, and then I realized.

We don't have a website.

And we barely have a computer.

I know, but I'm worried about you guys.

You've got to be more competitive.

Market yourself.

But you know, we've always been word of mouth.

Yeah, my mouth.

I'm putting that in the article.

Be my guest.

No, but I'm serious.

Word of mouth's not enough anymore.

You should get into social media.

Develop a website, start tweeting.

We're Luddites.

That's beyond us.

Yeah, we'd have to hire somebody.

Oh, no.

You have enough going on, especially with the bridal shower tomorrow.

You don't have time.

Mom, this is important, and it's fun.

How about this?

Before I head back to Chicago, I will get you guys up and running.

Hm?

How do you say no to that?

Best bridal shower ever!

I'm so glad you like it.

Like it?

Sure, I love it.

You went all out.

I mean, I had help.

Oh, please.

The way you've been there for me, Amy.

The way you've brought it 110%.

I can't thank you enough.

I am so lucky to have you in my life.

I'm lucky to have you in my life.

Guys, isn't it time for... Uh, time for what?

The game!

Right!

Oh, yes, yes, yes.

Okay.

Who is ready for the toilet paper dress and veil game?

Woo!

My favorite!

Okay.

Good ride!

No, wait, way too late!

Okay, Sammy, pick a winner.

Who's it gonna be?

The tough call.

Also, fashion forward and ultra soft.

But, if I had to choose, I'm gonna go with Team Amy.

Yes!

That means you're next, Amy.

Woo!

Okay, let me see this.

How could you not choose this?

Whoa!

That dress is so you, Amy.

Yeah, see, I was going for teepee chic.

Oh, hey!

Um...

I'll just... I'll be right back.

Hi!

Hey!

Hi.

Come on, I want to show you the gifts I got.

Okay.

Thank you.

It's a Wubble Maker!

Sweet!

You like it?

I love it.

It was a wonderful shower!

You did such a great job!

Sammy loved it!

Amy?

Sweetie, are you okay?

No, I'm not.

What's wrong?

I know it's gonna sound crazy, but I think I have feelings for Hank.

Oh, dear.

Mom, they just sort of crept up on me.

I haven't thought about him in years, and now I just can't stop thinking about him.

And I...

I can't have feelings for Hank.

I'm with Phil, and Hank's marrying Sammy, and I...

It just makes no sense.

Well, it makes some sense.

You're about to lose him for good, and it's all just starting to hit you.

I am so confused.

Mom, what do I do?

Well, it's complicated, sweetie.

I don't know if there's anything you can do.

You're right.

I just have to face reality.

Hank and I are not meant to be.

Hank is marrying Sammy, and there's nothing I can do to change that.

Hey!

Look who I found!

Oh!

Hey!

You must be Gloria!

Phil!

Nice to meet you!

Yeah, you too.

Hi!

Babe, I made it!

Yes, you did.

It's so great that you're here.

Thanks.

Wow.

Lakeview.

Side.

Lakeside, right.

Lakeside.

This town really gets into the Fourth of July.

It's great.

Yeah, we really know how to do the fourth around here.

I can see that.

You know, I always say, if you're gonna do something, do it big.

Otherwise, don't do it at all.

Mm-hmm.

Wow.

You never told me that your family was all part of this.

I've mentioned it a few times.

I bet they put the spectacle in spectacular.

I can't wait to see it.

I really think that... What else have you been hiding from me?

Hiding?

Nothing.

What other Fourth of July surprises do you have in store for me?

Phil!

Oh, this is so exciting!

I can't believe I finally get to meet you!

Sammy.

The pleasure's all mine.

Oh, great suit, by the way.

Okay, come on.

I am dying for you to see the Ducksons.

This is some bow tie.

Yes, it is.

Sammy's definitely got an eye for, um, details.

Yes, she does.

Do I seriously have to wear this thing?

If I do, you do.

Okay, fine.

You owe me one.

Hey, how's the rehearsal dinner going?

Really great.

Yeah.

Yeah, Amy's been such a big help.

I forgot how she was so, um... So what?

Sleeves too long?

They look amazing.

Amy, don't they look amazing?

Yes, they look amazing.

Hank and Andy, this is Bill.

Bill, Hank, and Andy.

Hi.

Hi.

Hey, I'm Phil.

How you doing?

Good to meet you.

Wow, those are great bow ties, you guys.

I know, right?

Great for a Fourth of July wedding.

Exactly.

Ah!

Oh, no, where are the matching cummerbunds?

Oh, you've read my mind.

Ha!

Doesn't that just finish the look?

Absolutely.

Ha!

Good morning.

Morning.

Wow.

Hey, Phil, it's supposed to be a hot one today.

You may want to lose that suit and put on a pair of Bermudas.

Thanks, Charlie, I'm fine.

I feel more comfortable in a suit.

Okay.

Hello?

Oh, hi, Bill.

Oh, no.

When?

Oh, okay.

Uh, yeah, we'll see you then.

We'll be there.

Bye.

The water main broke last night.

The city council wants us to come to a special meeting this morning.

What, now?

Yeah, now.

Oh, well, let's go.

Listen, hon, I'm sorry, I can't come.

I have to wait here for a conference call.

Oh, that's okay.

There's nothing you could really do there anyway.

We'll come back and get you when we're done, okay?

Are you sure?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Enjoy breakfast.

Thanks, good luck.

Hey!

Hey.

Hey.

Hey, it's good to see you.

You too.

Hi.

How are you?

What a mess, huh?

Awful, isn't it?

The council called an emergency session.

Yeah, we should probably go over there.

Yeah.

Do you mind if I tag along?

You don't have to.

I'd really like to.

Yeah, come with us.

Unfortunately, we don't have enough in the emergency fund to repair the water main.

The only way around this is to reallocate the money slated for the fireworks.

I'm so sorry.

Hang on, Bill.

We've already ordered the fireworks.

There must be something... I'm afraid we have no choice in the matter, folks.

It's already been decided.

The 4th of July fireworks show has been cancelled.

We can't weather the loss of this job.

We're going to have to sell the company.

Hey, wait a minute.

No one's selling anything.

Come on.

You can't give up hope.

Maybe we can raise the money on our own.

I don't like asking people for money.

Neither do I.

It's not charity.

It's tradition.

We have had fireworks at 4th of July in Lakeside every year that I've been alive,

and I can't picture it without it.

I know the town would rally around that.

Don't you think?

Yeah, I mean, it's ambitious, but it's definitely not impossible.

Nothing's impossible.

Okay.

So, now that I opened my big mouth, I've got to make it happen.

I think corporate sponsorship's the best way to go.

Hit up some of the bigger players in town.

I like the thinking.

You know, if you want, I could help.

I'm in Rotary with a lot of those guys.

That would be amazing.

Cool.

Oh.

Hey, Sammy.

Uh, I need a favor.

Can't do 4th of July without fireworks.

Thank you so much, Ben.

This is a great start.

Yeah, thanks, Ben.

I wish I could do more.

Can you think of anyone else who might want to contribute?

I'd be happy to make a few calls.

That would be huge.

Thank you.

Hey.

Hank, how you doing?

Hey, good.

What a great place to get married on the 4th of July.

It's going together quite nicely, don't you think?

It really is beautiful.

I was thinking about 4th of July, and I don't think that

we can raise enough money, not one sponsor at a time.

Uh, honey, I'm happy to make a donation.

Thanks, Bill.

That's great, man.

Yeah, no, whatever I can do to make it all happen.

Follow me, everybody!

I want the chairs facing the water!

Facing the water!

Excuse me, I'll go see if I can help out.

Great.

Yeah, I still think we need a different fundraising approach.

You know, maybe one of those... Kickstarter campaigns?

I don't know.

Yes, I see those on Facebook all the time.

Right, they do help you just reach a lot of people fast.

In two sections on either side of the aisle, okay?

We have to make sure that everybody can see the swans floating behind us.

Swans!

What a nice touch.

So glad you agree.

You know, I never would have thought of that.

No, no, no, no, no, no, not the black arch.

I wanted the white arch.

Uh, fellas, she doesn't like the arch.

Amy?

Amy, can you come here?

Right, maybe we can have the radio station do an ad to help us save the fourth.

Perfect.

Yes.

Can we put the fireworks on hold for a second?

Sure.

Did you order the black wedding arch from the rental company?

No, I ordered the white one.

Can you, can you go talk to the guys?

Sure.

Okay.

Actually, um, I've already handled it.

Thank you.

My pleasure.

Oh.

I am having fun.

Hon, I tell you, I love Lakeview.

Lakeside.

Lakeside.

Lakeside is what I, sorry.

How's the fundraising website going?

It's almost finished.

Here, take a look.

Very impressive.

Hmm.

There.

It's ready to launch.

Do you really think this will work?

Mm-hmm.

I do.

Okay.

Here we go.

Come on, Lakeside.

Hey.

She looks beautiful.

I know.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Who's the best?

You.

I am.

Hi.

How are you?

Go back and check the next batch, perhaps.

Well, I just, I wish you'd have been there.

Oh, yeah, me too.

But I'm glad you're here.

I'm glad you could make it.

I'm coming out.

Wow.

There's the happy couple.

It's amazing.

Happy rehearsal dinner.

Hey, Hank.

How you doing?

I'm doing good.

Oh, Sammy, look at you.

You look fantastic.

Oh, my thank you.

I, uh, I think we pulled it off.

Yeah.

And Lou didn't think that we could do pretty.

I showed him.

What is that color?

Is it, is that coral?

Yes.

It's my favorite color.

Well, it should be.

It suits you perfectly.

It really does look fantastic, doesn't it?

Yeah.

It's such a special place.

It's all incredible.

Incredible.

Thank you both.

There's my girl.

You look wonderful.

Hank?

Ben?

Luke is here.

Wow, this is fun.

Why don't I grab us a drink?

I'm good.

You go get something.

I'll be right here.

Thank you.

See you in a bit.

Luke!

Looks great, huh?

It looks amazing.

Fourth of July.

Yes.

You okay with all this?

Yeah.

Oh.

It's great.

That means your guy married someone else?

Oh, he's not my guy.

I'm with Phil now.

Right over there.

Right.

Right.

Come on.

How are things with the kids?

My daughter Carol is 12 now.

You're kidding.

Where did the time go?

Oh my gosh.

Hey, Lou.

Everything looks great, huh?

She's a visionary.

She is.

Thank you.

Hey.

You wanna dance?

I don't know.

Come on.

For old time's sake.

A man asks you to dance, you dance.

Ah.

May I have this dance?

Indeed.

Hey, how are the contributions for the Kickstarter site?

They're pretty good.

Not enough to save the day.

Right.

Well, let's not give up hope yet.

Okay.

This is fun.

Yeah.

Look at them.

Lovely chummy.

Enough, you two.

Give it a rest.

What?

It's funny.

There was a time where I thought it would be you and me getting married.

Really?

I was gonna propose.

The ring and everything.

When was that?

Years ago.

Fourth of July.

We went down to the docks and you told me you were leaving for Chicago.

I didn't.

Can I steal my fiancé for a dance?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey.

Come out and show me.

Oh, it feels nice.

I'm sorry.

I just have to go check on something.

Yeah.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I'm happy.

Yeah.

Found you.

Hey.

You okay?

Yeah.

Just thinking.

You should probably go back inside.

Hi, everybody.

If I could have your attention.

Come on into the main area here and bring your glasses.

It's time to toast the almost married couple.

Yes.

Sammy and Hank, come on up.

Ah, there she is.

Sammy.

There she is.

Sammy.

All right.

And Hank.

All right.

Hank, we know you're here.

Hank!

Hank?

Hank!

Hank!

Come on.

What's wrong?

You can tell me.

You were going to ask me to marry you and I ruined everything.

I just thought you wanted something else.

I went after the wrong dream.

I just didn't realize it.

And, um...

And I lost the person that I cared about the most.

And now I...

And now what?

What?

And I'm pretty sure I'm in love with you, Hank.

You are?

Yeah.

I don't believe this.

Sammy.

No!

I didn't see it before, but now I get it.

The only reason you're here is to steal Hank away from me.

Sammy, come on.

I would never do that to you.

Please don't expect me to believe you.

But it's true.

I would never do that to you.

Hank?

Will you help me out here, Hank?

Because I really feel like I'm losing my mind.

Was all of this just smoke and mirrors?

No!

Of course not.

I just... Everything!

Us!

The plants!

Calm down and discuss this, because I can't... What's the point?

Sammy!

So, well, uh...

Sammy... What are you doing?

Stop!

Sorry to spoil the party, but...

The wedding is off!

And if you want to know why, you can ask Amy Peterson.

Sammy, please wait!

Please!

It's not what you think!

It's exactly what I think!

It was so obvious now!

I must have been blind enough to see how much you wanted Hank back!

No, that's not it at all, Sammy!

Just leave me alone, okay?

Sammy, please, please!

It's not what you think!

Please!

Please!

Wait!

Wait!

Where's she going?

I don't know, and I feel like it's all my fault.

Okay, tonight was crazy.

We need to put whatever that was on hold, at least for now, okay?

I know, you're right.

We need to find her.

Okay.

Amy, what's going on?

I'm so sorry.

I owe you an explanation, but I can't do it now.

I've got to go find Sammy.

I will explain to you back at the house.

I promise.

Go, go, go.

Where could she be?

She wasn't at home.

She wasn't at the wedding site.

I don't know.

We have to find her.

Wait.

There she is.

You just go.

She made it really clear she doesn't want to speak to me.

I'll talk to her.

Hey, Sylvia.

Hey!

What's going on?

Oh, we're doing a piece on the 4th of July cancellation.

Do you think you could interview me?

I'm trying to raise funds to save the fireworks show.

Sure!

Yeah, we can get your family's perspective.

I'll just set it up and I'll bring you in.

That would be great.

Thank you.

No problem.

Good evening.

This is Sylvia Sherwin coming to you live from downtown Lakeside, where the

aftermath of the Watermain explosion is everywhere.

Holiday cheer has fizzled on the eve of Independence Day.

This is Amy Peterson, whose parents, Gloria and Charlie Peterson of Peterson

Pyrotechnics, put on the fireworks show every year.

And tell us, Amy, how are they dealing with the cancellation?

Well, they're disappointed, just like the rest of Lakeside.

And it's not 4th of July without fireworks.

No, it isn't, which is why we started a website campaign to raise money.

We are doing everything in our power to save the 4th of July.

We don't have much time left, do you?

No, but with the help of the good people of Lakeside, it is definitely possible.

Please donate whatever you can tonight.

Amy Peterson looking for a 4th of July miracle.

This is Sylvia Sherwin, Reaction News.

Back to you in the studio.

Thank you, Sylvia.

She looked good.

It was great.

Hey.

Hi.

Everyone.

Phil, I'm so sorry.

What happened tonight?

Everything just went out of control so fast and I didn't expect anything to happen.

I...

I thought Hank and I were just friends.

All my feelings for him came back and I feel just terrible

because you're such a good guy and you've been so sweet to me.

You don't deserve this.

You really don't.

Amy.

We've had a lot of really good times together but...

I never really thought you were the one.

And I know that you've never thought of me that way.

Right?

But listen.

It's okay.

Right?

We're different.

Sooner or later we were bound to go our separate ways.

So we're...

breaking up?

This is your home.

Not Chicago.

This is where you belong.

This is where you're happiest.

You think so?

I know so.

Yeah.

Look, I'm gonna check into the hotel tonight

so do me a favor and thank your folks for me.

Thank you, Phil.

So much for understanding.

Thanks, Scott.

Really appreciate it.

Hamilton came through.

Delivery in a few hours.

Walden Orion came through too.

Just waiting to hear back from Corey from Northwest Display.

Well, not to be a killjoy here but isn't it a big gamble?

Ordering fireworks we haven't raised enough money to pay for?

No, we've got to replace the order that we cancelled.

Keep the faith, Mom.

Well, I guess I'll make a fresh pot of coffee.

Come, I will.

I'll get you some.

I really managed to make a mess of everything.

I lost my best friend and destroyed her

wedding in the same night and in record time.

I...

I'm so sorry, sweetie.

But I am sure it'll all work itself out.

And then Phil and I broke up.

I mean, Mom, I'm really on a roll.

Now, what about Hank?

What is going on with him?

I'm not sure.

Amy?

Amy!

What is it?

You did it!

You did it!

Look!

Look!

Oh, we all did it!

What did we do?

We raised enough money for the fireworks.

It's too much wonderful.

I have to sit down.

Oh, well, crisis averted and I got a great ending for my article.

Just not sure I can say the same for my life, though.

Can I come in?

You're going to anyway.

A cupcake.

Our tradition.

You still think cupcakes can make everything better?

No.

But I think they can help.

Sammy, I...

I just want you to know that I...

I honestly thought Hank was just a part of my past.

And then I...

I came back home and...

all these old feelings started...

They just started resurfacing.

Feelings that I promise you, I had no idea.

No intention at all of sharing with him, but then you told him anyway.

I remember.

I was there.

Sammy, I'm so sorry.

Just so you know, I'm not ready to forgive you yet.

I understand.

Phil and I broke up.

Hank and I had a big talk last night.

We were at the wedding.

And I decided not to go through with the wedding.

And it just...

it just hit me.

You know, I've been lying to myself...

Pretending I could create this great life with him.

It was just a big fantasy.

My mom would have set me straight.

You know, she would have said Instead, I was in

love with the wedding more than anything else.

It's not the right reason to get married.

I never meant to hurt you.

You know that, right?

I know.

I do know.

This is a big moment for us.

You know, we've been through a lot together.

And we said we'd be best friends forever.

So I have to ask you a really important question.

How long do you plan on being mad at me?

I might make you suffer a little longer.

Fair enough.

Well, in the meantime, maybe you would want to help me with the 4th of July picnic?

Oh.

I could really use your expertise.

I am not in the mood for a picnic.

Okay.

All right.

Well, just think about it.

I might have an opening in my schedule.

Oh.

It's so good.

I know.

It's so good.

Hi.

Hey.

Walk with me.

Oh, this is weird.

Is this weird?

A little.

Yeah.

Hey, congratulations.

For what?

You saved the 4th of July.

With your help.

I didn't do much.

Yeah, you did.

Everyone else thought I was nuts and you backed me.

I mean...

You made a great team.

Made?

In the past tense.

Well, yeah, I have disrupted your life in a pretty major way twice now, so I

wouldn't blame you for wanting to keep me in the past tense.

Look, when you left for Chicago, I had to

find some way of moving forward without you.

I know.

And I was doing okay.

Until you came back.

And after spending all this time with you... Um...

Amy, I've realized how much I love you.

You do?

Yes.

Yes, I do.

And... I know Chicago's far away, but I'm... There's no more Chicago.

Why?

Phil and I broke up.

And, um... I decided that I'm not going back.

Because I wasn't happy.

And my home is in Lakeside.

With the people that I love.

With...

With you.

Right?

Yeah.

I mean, I love what you do.

Look at the table.

You could do this full time.

I mean, if you ever decided you didn't want to do interior decorating anymore.

That is such a wonderful idea.

Hey, so, I sent in my article to the post.

And they put it on the front page.

Oh!

Oh, I really like that picture!

Oh!

I can't wait to read it.

I also sent in my resignation.

You did?

Mm-hmm.

I just wanted to be doing something that I really love.

So I thought that maybe I would apply for the

much-needed marketing position at the company.

You're hired.

No, no, no.

You're not.

Oh, let's get everything done.

Let's light up the skies for Lakeside.

Come on, Dan.

Well, that should do it.

We're ready to begin.

Amy, will you do the honors?

With pleasure.

Thank you.

Oh.

Safety first.

Okay.

Hello, Sammy.

Phil, hi.

I thought you'd left.

Ah, I just, I kind of wanted to stick around and watch these amazing fireworks.

Nice hat.

Yeah, you too.

You look great in red, white, and blue, by the way.

Don't you just love the Fourth of July?

Yes, I do.

It is now my new favorite holiday.

Join me?

I'd love to.

Oh.

You know, if you ever did want to pop the question,

I hear Fourth of July is a really great day to do it.

Oh, you think?

Yeah.

Amy Peterson, I love you.

I never want to lose you again.

I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

Will you marry me?

Let me think about it.

Yes!

Yes!
