(Dove coos)

Its starting to get cold.

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

That better?

Yeah.
Its a lot better.

Monica?

Is there something on your mind?

Monica:
I was just trying to imagine

those two in 50 or 60 years,

looking back and remembering

what it was like to be 16
and in love.

If they could only know now
what theyre gonna know then.

Gloria: But is it love,
or infatuation, or-or what?

Whatever it is,
it is very emotional.

Everything is so big
and so important.

Everythings the end
of the world.

Monica:
Its part of the process

of being a teenager.

It seems they have
to go through this

in order to find out
who they are.

And-and who are they?

Well, the young man
is called Ben.

The young womans
called Natalie.

Shes one half
of the assignment,

and her mother
is the other half.

This time next year,

we could be sitting
under a tree at Yale.

Maybe you will be sitting
under a tree,

but I will be studying.

Youve got to learn
to relax a little bit.

(Sighs)
Yeah, right.

You know, why dont you
tell that to my mom?

Fine.
Lets go talk to her right now.

Its about time I met her.

I wish you could,
but shes in Paris.

Andrew:
So which one of US

is going to Paris?

No one.

And therein lies the problem
in this assignment.

Woman:

Can I get you

an

ything else, Howard?

Howard:
No, thanks. Im good.

Woman:
You need change for this?

Howard:
Nope.

No, its all for you, Annie.

Thanks.

Am I gonna see you
for dinner tonight?

Salisbury steak night.

You know, uh...

I dont actually come here
for the food.

Yeah, I know.

♪

So im at this garage sale,

and theyre selling everything
you can put into a bag

for five bucks.

Oh, gotta love
a challenge like that.

Yeah.
Woman didnt know what hit her.

Anyway, most of the stuffs
not really my style, but...

I did grab this.

Oh, Sherry.

I thought you might
want it for Natalie.

Its kind of preppy, you know?

Oh... shes gonna love it.

What do I owe you?

Mmm...

(Italian accent):
Someday I will come to you

and ask from you a favor.

(Laughs)

Hey, girl, what am I
gonna do with you?

Annie is natalies mother?

Mm-hmm, and natalies
best-kept secret.

Yeah, at least for the moment.

(Dog barks in distance)

(Car rumbles, creaks)

(Brakes squeak)

Natalie?

Come help me.

Natalie.

You dont have to yell.
Please.

Well, where have you been?

Um...

At the library.

Mom, we dont have room

for 36 more rolls
of toilet paper.

Well, well find room.

Its the good stuff,
and it was on sale.

Oh, hey...

Sherry found something
at a garage sale,

and its for you.

Nice, huh?

And its hardly been worn.

Its great.

Thanks, mom.

Hey, it was free.

Hello!

Hey!

Are you the new renter?

Yes.

Im Monica.

Im Annie.
Welcome to the neighborhood.

You need a hand?

(Laughing):
Yes, that would be lovely.

Thank you.

All right, just a sec.

Hey, how are you fixed
for toilet paper?

So, what brings you

to the edge of civilization?

(Laughs) Oh, I like
to move around a lot

and see different places,

meet new people.

Must make it kind of tough
to hold down a job, huh?

Well, im sort of in freelance
in the education field.

Like... like a tutor?

-Sometimes.
-Hey, do you ever help kids

study for s.A.T.S?

My daughter wants
to take them again

and could probably
use some help.

Well, ID be happy
to give it a try.

No kidding?

Cant pay you much,
but would you take a trade?

If you help my daughter,

ill grow you a garden
thatll knock your socks off.

(Monica chuckles)

Its a deal.

All right.

(Giggles)

(School bell ringing)

Girl:

Th

at is so retro, Natalie.

I love it.

Thank you.

Howd you get a Harvard blazer?

Oh, it was my moms.

Oh, no wonder you dont want
to tell her about Yale.

No, shes okay with it.

Girl:
Oh, your patch is coming off.

You should have
your housekeeper sew it up.

Oh, yeah, I will.

You have got to get
one of these, Natalie.

I dont know
how you survive without it.

Well, it helps
that the only person

she wants to talk to
is right here.

Whatever.

I guess you didnt hear

what happened to Sally rivers
the other day?

-No.
-She was driving

in her dads Mercedes,

and she ran out of gas...

Right in the middle
of trailer town.

-Ew.
-Oh, my god.

(Chuckles)
Have you ever been there?

Well, those people
are barely human.

I mean, shes lucky
she had her cell phone

and didnt have
to get out of the car.

She couldve been raped
or murdered.

Andrew:
Hi, guys.

My name is Andrew,

and im setting up
the next s.A.T. Test

for the school district,
and so far,

the only name on my list
is Natalie Tate.

Oh, thats me.

Youre taking it again?

Yeah.

Oh, well, actually,
you all should,

because if you increase
your scores,

you just increase your chances

of getting into the college
that you want to attend.

(Chuckling):
Yeah.

Okay, well...

Ill be around if you want
to change your mind.

Ah...

He doesnt know how it works.

What do you mean?

Were all legacies.

If our parents
went to the school,

they practically
have to let US in.

I mean, weve got the grades,

weve got the contacts,

weve got the money.

Yeah, I-I just want
to be sure, you know?

Suit yourself.

Hey, sweetie, how was school?

Fine.

Mom, I need a cell phone.

Yeah, right. (Chuckles)

Honey, I cant even afford
the phone that we have.

Yeah, but the car is making
that weird noise again,

and even if we get it
fixed again, you know,

its still old,
and its falling apart.

And what if im
in the middle of nowhere

and it just breaks down?

You know,
or im in some bad part of town

and im alone and I need help.

Sherry:

Every kid wants

a

cell phone now.

Doesnt mean you have
to get it for them.

Well, Natalie doesnt ask
for a whole lot,

and she does have
a point about the car.

So marry Howard.

Hes a car salesman, right?

Be a heck of a lot cheaper
than a cell phone.

That seems a little extreme.

But I did sign up to sell those
cosmetics you told me about.

Im telling you, my sister sold
lovely lady makeup

door-to-door for three years.

She bought herself a Camaro.

(Annie chuckles)

Well, it may be
a little extra cash,

and the starter kit
should be coming any day.

And maybe al will let me
work a few more shifts

until he hires a new waitress.

Too late for that.

Hi.

Annie, this is Gloria.

First waitress to memorize
every single one of the drinks

on als obscure cocktail test.

Good for you, Gloria.

Mustve made al crazy.

He did seem a little confused.

Did he mention the rule?

What rule?

Waitresses cant wear glasses
during their shift.

Oh.

Well, isnt that illegal?

Probably, but hes not wrong.

Youll make better tips.
Trust me.

There he is, right on time.

Go get him, tiger.

Annie:
Hello.

Hi.

-Sherry: Thats Howard.
-How are you?

Came in one day right after
Annie started working here

a few months ago.

Hes been in every day since.

Wont let anybody else
wait on him.

Hes kind of cute,

in a high school crush
sort of way.

And does Annie like him, too?

You didnt see the way
she lit up when he walked in?

No, no, I didnt.

Vodka cranberry, al.

Gloria:
Oh, yes,

ive seen that look before.

Why dont you just give in

and go out on a real date
with the guy?

Because I have to set
a good example for Natalie.

Now, how would it look if I was
all goofy over some guy?

Oh, like you had a life, maybe?

Ive got a life.

Its called Natalie.

Al:
Here you go.

Annie:

He

s...

Oh, I dont know.

Sophisticated in a nice way.

And theres a lot of chemistry.

I really think
that this guy could be it.

(Door opens)

Yeah.

Im thinking of letting
my hair grow out.

Uh, more

Buffy,
less

Dawsons creek.

Uh, more

Buffy,
less

Dawsons creek.

I dont want it to get...

So you bought her the phone?

Yeah. She doesnt have
a lot of friends.

She started in a new school
this year,

but, you know,
she doesnt complain.

She doesnt do drugs.

She doesnt waste time with boys
and lousy music.

She doesnt lie.

You know?
And shes smart, Monica.

I dont think shes gonna make
the same mistakes that I did.

(Chuckles)

I have so much
to be thankful for.

Hey, what are you doing
for Thanksgiving?

Oh, im not sure.

Usually I spend it
with my friend, Tess,

but shes out of town
on business.

Ah, then youll spend it here.

Done deal. (Laughs)

Well, thank you. (Laughs)

Oh, I hope to heavens
this old bird thaws in time.

Well, I can help you
with the pie

as soon as we finish studying.

-Oh, didnt she tell you?
-(Cell phone ringing)

She needs to cancel.

She has an honor society
meeting tonight.

Oh, Natalie mustve
forgot her cell phone.

Hello?

Ben (over phone):
Hi. Is this natalies phone?

Yeah, but shes not here.

Can I take a message?

Uh, would you
tell her Ben called

and my moms got a bunch of
stuff that she wants me to do,

so, uh, I cant go
to the movies tonight?

Ill let her know.

Thanks.

Is something wrong?

Someone named Ben
just canceled his date

with Natalie for tonight.

She lied to me, Monica.

She flat-out lied to me.

She said she was going to an
honor society meeting tonight.

She didnt say anything
about a boyfriend.

So what else
isnt she telling me?

(Door opens)

I forgot my cell phone.

You still going to your meeting?

Yeah.

Ill be outside.

(Door opens, closes)

Ben called.

He cant make
the movies tonight.

Are you dating this boy?

No.

I mean...

We like each other,
and we-we do things together.

We hang out a lot.

I want to meet him.

No, you cant.

And why not?

Hes different.

Hes not like US.

What does that mean?
What, does he have two heads?

Cant I have something
for myself?

Not this.

We agreed-- no boyfriends yet.

Wait a minute.

This is so unfair.

You have a boyfriend
that you dont talk about.

What?

Im not stupid.

Sherry keeps talking
about this guy named Howard

whos Mr. Dependable,

and you keep coming home
late from work.

What is that about?

Nothing.

Its not serious
with me and Howard.

Besides, I can handle things;
You cant.

Ive been there.

Oh, you mean I cant
have a boyfriend

because you screwed up
and had me when you were 16?

I want you to invite him
over for Thanksgiving.

He has a family.

Hell be with them.

Then invite him over for pie.

Were gonna need another pie.

(Car door shuts)

(Engine cranks, revs)

Okay, so well start
with an isosceles triangle.

Natalie?

Are you gonna come over
for Thanksgiving dinner?

Yes.

And im really
looking forward to it.

Im not.

My mom wants my boyfriend
to come over for dinner.

Is that a problem?

Are you kidding me?

Look at this place.

(Sighs)
Its a dump.

(Men talking indistinctly)

Theres nothing wrong
with where you live, Natalie.

It may not be fancy,
but it has a lot of love,

and if your boyfriend
cares about you,

thats all hes going to see.

Now, come on.

We have work to do.

Here we are.

No, keep it.

Theyre on the house.

Happy anniversary.

And this is for you.

Thanks.

And, uh... this is for you.

What is it?

I got you something.

Its a key chain with
a little flashlight on it,

you know, for when you go
out to your car after work.

Youve been eavesdropping on me
and the girls, havent you?

(Chuckles)

Well, maybe a little.

Thats really sweet.

Thanks.

Youre welcome.

Okay, its all set.

Be at the Ivy club
at 2:30 on Saturday.

Its the usual catering attire:
Black pants, white shirt.

Okay.

I dont think it should be
too big a crowd.

No problem.

Oh, youre really sweet
to step in for me like this.

I thank you.
My bowling league thanks you.

(Gloria laughs)

Isnt that man
the cutest thing ever?

Yeah, hes a peach.

-You ought to go for it.
-No, not with Natalie.

You need to back off on Natalie.

She thinks I hate men.

-Do you?
-No.

I just dont trust them,

especially when theyre 16.

Howard is not 16,
and neither are you.

Give the guy a break.

Sherry:
Key chain.

I swear, the men in this town

have no clue about romance.

Well, I think its kind of sweet

that he gave her
something that she needs.

Oh, honey, a key chain

is way down on the list
of things she needs.

Annie:
Hey, Howard,

how about coming by my place
for Thanksgiving dinner?

Uh... me?

Um, youre asking me to...

To come over to your house?

Yeah.

Im having some people over.
You interested?

Oh, yeah, I am.

I, um...

I have to be
in Portland tomorrow.

Oh.

But, hey...

ID love to have a rain check.

Yeah, well, sure.

Of-of course.

Sure.

Man:
I need someone to sign for this.

Hi.

Sign right here, please.

Lovely lady cosmetics?

Ben:
So are you having the whole

Turkey dinner extravaganza
tomorrow?

I dont know yet.

My moms still
not back from Paris.

So youre gonna be alone
for the holiday?

No.

Just... my mom wont be there.

But then, shes practically
never there anyway.

Ah, I know what thats like.

My dads a total workaholic.

I hardly ever see him, either.

You know, were never gonna
be like that, though.

You promise?

Of course I do.

So ill see you on Saturday?

Yeah.

Have a good Thanksgiving, okay?

You, too.

-Bye.
-Bye.

Monica:
Mmm, that was delicious.

Annie:
Oh, thanks.

Well, I guess we wont be
needing that extra pie,

seeing as your boyfriend
didnt show up.

Well, the truth is,
we, um... broke up.

Oh, baby, im sorry.

Why?

Its what you wanted, isnt it?

(Annie sighs)

(Door shuts)

Well, shes right.

But I still hate
to see her hurt.

♪

(Doorbell chimes)

(Barking)

Annie:
Excuse me.

Excuse me. Hello?

Woman:
Oh, no.

Did I run over somebody?

Oh... oh, no.
My name is Annie,

and I represent
lovely lady cosmetics.

-Not interested.
-Oh, no, no.

Wait, wait, wait.
Look at this.

I work nights at a place
called the thunderbird lounge,

and my customers love this.

Its called pretty in pink.

It lasts for hours, and it
doesnt leave those lip marks

-around your cocktail glass.
-Ben: Hey, mom.

Oh, there you are, dear.

-Where you going?
-Im going to pick up

my outfit for the reception
this afternoon.

Natalie!

Would you like to come along?

Um, okay.

Maybe we could
find you something.

Yeah.

Okay, thank you, Mrs. Everett.

Hop in.

♪

(Dog barking in distance)

-Hi.
-Hi.

Hey, is my mom in there?

I think shes waiting for you.

I know.

But I cant go in there.

I... (Sighs)

I cant talk to her.

Well, maybe you shouldnt
talk to her.

What?

Maybe you should just stop
talking to your mother.

Dont tell her
what youre thinking or feeling.

Dont share anything

with the one
who knows you the best,

because that would make you feel
that she understands you,

and that would be horrible,

since you want to be a unique
and separate person, right?

How do you know that?

Because teenage daughters
and their mothers

go through this all the time.

But in your case,
you have a really young mother

who hasnt forgotten
what it feels like to be 16.

So go on in there.

Tell her the truth.

It wont be easy, but...

She deserves your honesty,
dont you think?

Okay. Thanks.

Mom?

Oh, here im your mom.

I didnt mean to...

Yes, you did.

You lied to me,

and apparently
youve been lying to Ben.

He obviously doesnt know
who you are.

Watch how things change

when he finds out
that you dont have any...

Class?

I was gonna say money.

Honey, I want
something better for you.

I always have.

Then let me go out and get it.

I love you, mom, but...

I just... I hate living
in this trailer.

And I hate that you-you have
to shake your butt for tips,

and that you sell
those stupid cosmetics.

Its embarrassing.

I may not have a lot,

but what I do have,
I got honestly.

I didnt lie for it.

Who do these people
think your mother is?

Well, I told them
that you were a businesswoman,

and that you went to Harvard,

and that you and my father
are divorced.

And that you travel a lot.

And where am I these days?

Paris.

Oh, Natalie...

What am I supposed to tell
these people, mom?

That im the illegitimate
daughter of a cocktail waitress

and im trying to get into Yale?

At least that
would be the truth.

You dont get it, mom.

You cant get into college
with just good grades.

Its unbelievably competitive.

(Sighs)

You gotta have a résumé
with great recommendations

and rich parents
who give money to the college,

and sometimes even pay
for somebody else

to take the s.A.T.S for you.

You gotta have class.

And money.

And, mom, I know youre trying--

believe me, I know-- but...

But youre ashamed of me.

Mom...

I love you.

Its just...

Well, its like the party

this afternoon at the Ivy club.

Theyre having a reception
for prospective students

to meet alumni
from Ivy league colleges.

If I can just impress
one of them,

maybe they will write me
a recommendation.

Well, dont you need
a parent with you?

Well, it would help,

but if I just say that my mom

is in Paris on business,

it just sounds more impressive
than, you know...

Okay.

Well, have a good time.

(Door opens)

(Door shuts)

-Hey.
-Hi.

Feel like taking a walk?

Let me get my coat.

Natalie may not appreciate
what youre doing for her now,

but she will one day, I promise.

Well, can you give me
an exact date

so I can put it on my calendar?

Hurts a lot, doesnt it?

You know...

She didnt actually say
she was ashamed of me,

but I could see it in her eyes.

Huh.

God, what I wouldnt do
to make her proud of me.

Youve had a hard life, Annie,

and youve missed
getting for yourself

so many of the things
that you want for Natalie.

But you cant let her
get them this way.

Its wrong.

It will never feel right.

Maybe.

But I dont blame her
for not wanting

Annie the waitress
to show up tonight.

Hey...

What if Ann Tate

came back early from Paris?

I dont understand.

Well, you.

You could be Ann Tate.

I mean, youre always so elegant
and put together.

No.

No, Annie, I wont do that.

Anyway, I should tell you...

Im going to the party.

Ive been invited by a friend

who works at natalies school.

Well...

Then im just gonna
have to do it myself.

This is not the way to help
your daughter, Annie.

Ive always taught her to want
something better for herself.

Im not gonna blame her now

for wanting to go out
and get it.

Natalie deserves a better mother
than me, Monica,

and today shes gonna get one.

No. Its gonna be hard

Im not even sure she should.

Gloria:
Monica? Andrew?

Is that you?

Yes.

-Hello, Gloria.
-Hi.

Are you still not wearing
your glasses?

Yeah, im not allowed.

Oh, that was at the bar.

You-you can wear them here.

Could you hold this?

Oh, its so nice
to be myself again.

I wish Annie understood that.

Oh, my.

(Indistinct conversations)

I hardly recognize her.

Yeah, well,
lets hope

he

doesnt.

Who?

Howard.

This is Charles.

-Nice to meet you.
-Hi.

(Indistinct conversations)

Hello.

Im Ann Tate.

Man:
Harrison stowe, from Yale.

So, your dad is actually
coming tonight?

Yeah.

Hes here... somewhere.

Oh, right there.

Howard: I dont get back
to Cambridge much,

although I do still subscribe
to the

lampoon

after all these years.

It, uh,
makes me feel rebellious.

(Laughing)

So when do I get to meet him?

Right now, if you want.

Okay.

Annie:
Here, let me take you.

Annie:
Hello, darling.

Harrison, this is the one
I was telling you about.

This is my daughter, Natalie.

Natalie, this is
Harrison stowe from Yale.

Very nice to meet you, Natalie.

Your mother has just been
regaling me with stories

from her latest trip to Paris.

The way she describes it,

it sounds like nothing
ive ever seen there.

Oh, really?

I... didnt know
you were gonna be back

in time for this, mother.

Well, I didnt want to miss
your big night, darling.

Concorde?

I beg your pardon?

Did you fly back
on the concorde?

Cuts the trip in half.

Oh, yes, thats what I did.

Nice plane.

Very fast.

I dont like the concorde.
Not enough leg room.

I dont believe weve met.

Im Ann Tate.

Im Ben.

Its nice to finally meet you,
Mrs. Tate.

Oh...

Oh, okay.

There you are, Harrison.

I see youve met
our little Natalie.

Shes hoping
for an early acceptance.

Wants to get out
of this town, I suppose.

Have we met?

Monica:
Excuse me.

Annie, I really need
to talk to you for a moment.

Uh, do excuse me.

Look, Monica, I know you think
this is wrong, but its okay.

Im pulling it off.

It is not okay,

and theres something
that you need to know.

Not now.

Gloria:
Pâté de foie gras?

(Whispers):
Goose liver.

Gloria, yes,
I love a good goose liver.

Oh, ill have one of those.

Thanks.

Howard?

Thats Howard?

Annie.

You know each other, dear?

Oh, yeah, I know Annie
from the thunderbird lounge.

Its where I go
when I meet Roger.

You know, the president
of first national.

He loves it there.

And what brings you
to the thunderbird lounge?

Shes just a waitress.

A waitress.

And youre
our natalies mother.

And you commute to the
thunderbird lounge from Paris?

Um... w-would you excuse me?

I dont know what to say.

Let her go, Ben.

No, shes upset.

Well, of course shes upset.

She lied to you.

Well, I lied to her, too,

cause I told her
that you were a nice person.

(Sighs)

(Sobbing quietly)

(Sniffs)

(Sniffs)

You were right.

I didnt come here
to tell you I was right.

I came here to tell you

that you started something
and now you must finish it,

but you must do it as Annie--
the real Annie.

(Sniffs)

Its too late. I blew it.

Monica, my life has been

one stupid mistake
after another.

(Sniffs)

Yes, youve made mistakes,
Annie,

but youve always taken
responsibility for them

and worked hard
to overcome them.

But god wants you to know
hes very proud of you.

God?

I am an angel.

God sent me here to help you.

No.

No. Really?

Isnt god in heaven?

God loves you so much, Annie,

mistakes and all,

and he wants you to pursue
the dreams that you have

for yourself and Natalie,

but not by rejecting the person
that he made you to be.

But when it comes your turn

to stand in the presence of god,

hes not going to ask you

which college did you
get your daughter into,

but rather, did you teach her
how to find him?

Did you teach her how to be

the person
that he created her to be?

I dont think ive done
either one of those very well.

Well, theres still time.

But if you lose yourself,

then your daughter
wont have the example

that she needs the most.

God wants you to be proud

of the good and hard-working
woman that you are,

and not to be afraid to show
that side of yourself

to the world.

This is the moment, Annie,

that you must stand up and...

And teach your daughter
what real class is.

Its not the clothes
that you wear

or the money you spend.

Its the character you show
at times like this.

(Sniffs)

Natalie?

-Hey.
-Hey.

What are you doing out here?

Im hiding.

Why?

Because...

Im embarrassed to be
in there with my mother.

Youre embarrassed?

Natalie, your mother

put herself on the line for you.

Now, she may not have chosen
the best way to do it,

but she certainly did it
for all the right reasons.

You dont know this yet,

but your mom is more
than just your mom.

Shes a real person...

Who can get
her heart broken, too.

Yeah.

I mean, I really think
she liked Howard.

She just...
Didnt know who he was.

(Sighs)

Im not talking about

Howard breaking
your mothers heart.

Im talking about you.

I love my mom, Andrew,

and I never,
ever meant to hurt her.

Its just... its hard.

Yeah, I know.

And I know that you dont like
living in a trailer

and wearing used clothes
and trying to scrape by

with a lot less money
than your friends have.

But one day,
youre gonna look back

and youre gonna realize
all these sacrifices

that your mothers made for you.

And she hasnt been able
to give you money,

but what shes given you
is an example

of how to love somebody
more than yourself,

and when you understand that,

then youll recognize what
a truly amazing mother you have.

Why do you care so much?

Well...

Because, also one day,
youll look back and recognize

that you had a conversation
with an angel.

Then youll understand.

What...?

(People talking, shouting)

Excuse me.

Do you know where
Harrison stowe from Yale is?

Excuse me. Excuse me!

I just want you to know
that you dont fool me.

My husband has
a lot of late meetings

with Roger from the bank.

Hes been having them for years.

Youre not the first,
and you wont be the last.

So dont think your life
is about to change.

And I want you to know
I didnt know he was married.

Nothing happened
between me and your husband,

and nothings going to.

Mrs. Everett, I dont know

how you can put up
with a man like that,

but it cant be easy.

Youre going to be
in my prayers.

Mr. Stowe?

Excuse me.

I want to apologize
for what happened earlier,

and ID like to start over.

Very well.

My name is Annie Tate.

Im a cocktail waitress.

Ive never been to Paris.

I dont make a lot of money.

But I do have a gifted daughter,

and shes the best thing
thats ever happened to me.

I dont share her gifts,
but I do share her dreams.

Shes a good kid.

Shes made a few mistakes--
so have i--

but I dont think either one
of US will be making them again.

Thats right, Mr. Stowe.

Ive learned something
about myself today,

and I dont know if thats gonna
make me a better student,

but I do think its gonna
make me a better person.

And a better daughter.

If that even matters to you.

If you didnt make mistakes,

you wouldnt have
anything to learn.

That would put colleges
out of business, I suppose.

(All chuckle)

You send me your scores
and your application, Natalie.

Thank you, Mr. Stowe.

Im so sorry.

I love you, baby.

I love you, too, mama.

And I am so proud of you.

Monica:
"To thine own self be true,

"and it shall follow,

"as the night the day,

thou canst not
be false to any man."

Thats not from the Bible.

-Thats...
-Shakespeare.

Yes, but he was inspired.

(Gloria laughs)

♪

Mom! Mom!

(Screaming happily)

Annie:
Yes, yes, let me see that!

(Shrieks)
Thats so great!

That is so gorgeous.

Oh, god, I knew you could do it.

-(Dove coos)
-(Whoops) Yes!
