[theme music]

Say, uh, how long have you been married now, sir?

49 years.

Oh, hey, that's wonderful.

What's so wonderful about it?

Well, uh-- well, I mean, you know,

you've been happily married all those years,

and now your granddaughter's getting married, and you know.

Wonderful, huh?

Well, if I'd known then what I know now, I'd still be single.

If you're so unhappy, why don't you

do something about it?

I wasn't talking to you.

I'm talking to Charlie here.

Oh, Mrs. Kelly, it's nothing.

We were just talking, you know.

If you knew then what you know now, you'd still be single.

Well, if I knew then what I know now,

I can promise you you'd be single.

I don't see why we have to get a divorce.

I'm perfectly content to just go along with things the way

they are.

Well, I'm not.

No, a divorce is the only way.

What divorce?

What are you talking about?

Honey, what's the matter?

Oh, everything.

I'm sorry, Brad.

I can't marry you.

What?

I-- I can't marry you.

Wait.

What are you talking about?

Ask my parents or my grandparents.

[sniffling] Here's your-- your, um--

your ring.

Trish.

Trish!

[dramatic music]

[crying] I'm--

I'm sorry.

I thought I could handle this, but I pass my husband's closet,

and it's empty and I just started crying.

I-- I know it's so stupid.

JONATHAN (ON PHONE): No, no, it's not.

I didn't want to call my daughter.

JONATHAN (ON PHONE): I'm--

I'm glad you called me.

I'll be right down.

Oh, you don't have to do that.

JONATHAN (ON PHONE): It's all right, Mrs. Kelly.

I'll be there soon.

Thank you.

[dial tone hums]

Does Frank want the divorce?

No.

He keeps on saying that he's willing to just go along,

but he's just afraid he'll lose half of what he's

made in the divorce settlement.

No.

Are you sure?

He doesn't love me anymore, and I

don't want to live that way.

What about you?

Do you love him?

[sighs] I don't know.

I don't know what I really feel now

except scared and miserable.

Well, then how can you be so sure he doesn't love you if you

don't even know how you feel?

Because we're never together.

And when we are, all it takes is one word

and we're arguing again.

What do you want, Carla?

What do you really want?

I don't want a divorce, and I don't want to go

on living like we have been.

Well, maybe you should try some counseling.

No.

We are too far gone for that.

[scoffs] Well, I'd say a marriage

that's lasted for 25 years is worth

a little work to try to save.

[sighs] I want to either be happy with him or cut it and go

on with the rest of my life.

I mean, he's not going to change and neither

am I. We-- we are who we are.

And if we can't live together, then we should end it.

Well, maybe it's not so much changing

who you are as it is changing the way

you relate to each other.

Oh, no.

We're too set in our ways.

I'll tell you what I'd really want, to be able to start over

with him, to be able to meet him again for the first time

and then just start over.

[sentimental music]

[shrieks]

What's wrong?

What's wrong? What do you mean, what's wrong?

Look in the mirror.

That's what's wrong.

That's not me, no.

Oh, ho, ho.

What do you mean, oh, ho, ho?

Does that look like me to you?

It doesn't look like me to me.

It doesn't even sound like me.

I'm having a breakdown.

That's what it is, the strain.

[cackles] That doesn't even--

oh, I'm going mad.

Now, Carla, just take it easy.

You're not going mad, and you're not having a nervous breakdown.

- I'm not? - Now, come on.

Just sit over here, and I'll explain everything.

You can explain this?

Oh, yes, I promise you.

I can explain it.

Come on.

Just sit down and take it easy.

Yeah.

Now, Carla, I'm not a minister.

You're not a minister?

No.

No, you see, I am an angel.

You're an angel?

Mm-hmm.

Well, that certainly clears it up a lot.

Oh, I am going insane.

Oh, dear God, help me.

Well, he's trying, Carla, that's

why he granted you your wish.

What wish?

For you to meet your husband Frank again for the first time

and start over. That's what you said, wasn't it?

Well, yes, but--

Well, this is your chance to do that for one full week.

Frank won't recognize you.

The face he sees is gonna be the same face

you saw in that mirror.

You can start all over for the first time.

- You did this? - No, no, no.

I suggested counseling.

This was the boss's idea.

Ah, the boss.

You mean?

Mm-hmm.

[gasps] Then you are an angel.

I mean, this was his idea.

This is all OK with him.

Oh, yeah, it's perfectly fine.

Hmm.

I could be the other woman.

Oh, I-- I wouldn't put it that way.

This is really just a chance to meet

Frank again and start over.

This could be fun.

I don't know if it'll work or not, but it could be fun.

Now, wait.

It's not supposed to be fun.

It's supposed to be a chance for you

and your husband to get together.

Oh, yeah, sure.

Still, it could be fun.

I mean, what's he going to do?

He's gonna turn me into a pillar of salt?

[chuckles]

Well, it's happened.

I don't like her hair.

[thunder rumbles]

I think you're pushing it.

Yeah, sorry.

[thunder quiets]

[soft jazz music]

Uh, Jonathan, now he's not gonna be here.

I mean, it's almost midnight.

He's gone to bed.

He couldn't sleep.

And he's sitting right over there.

Yeah, he probably came down here to pick up a woman.

What a rat.

Carla, he's alone.

Why don't you give him the benefit of the doubt, huh?

I can't.

I-- I just won't know what to say.

I can't do anything with her hair.

I-- I can't.

Carla, will you just relax?

I'll be with you every minute to make sure you

get off of the right foot.

Great.

He's going to come on to another woman

with the minister from his daughter's wedding right there.

He isn't going to know I'm there.

You're the only one that can see me or hear me.

Are you sure?

Carla, trust me.

I've been at this a long time. - Yeah.

Let's go.

Um, excuse me, is this seat taken?

Oh, uh, no.

Go right ahead.

Thank you.

What do I do now?

Strike up a conversation.

OK.

I-- I-- sorry.

Did you say something to me?

Oh, uh, yes.

Yes, I did.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to be rude.

I was thinking about my wife.

Well, it's a little late for that now.

Carla.

Oh, isn't it--

I bed your pardon?

--isn't it late?

It's almost midnight.

Yes, it is.

My name is Frank.

What's yours?

My what?

Your name.

My name?

Oh, no.

FRANK: Well, that's a very interesting name.

What is?

Ono.

I don't think I've ever met anyone named Ono.

Uh.

[chuckles]

Yes, it-- it is an unusual name, isn't it?

Um, listen, I don't think I'm going to be much company.

My wife and I split up tonight.

No, no, please, I'd--

I'd like to talk or--

or even listen if you'd like to talk.

You mean that?

Sure.

That would be nice.

I miss talking to a woman.

What do you mean?

Well, I-- I mean, uh, I--

listen, I don't, uh, I don't play around.

I've never played around on my wife.

Oh, Frank.

Oh, I'm so glad.

Neither have I.

Carla.

I mean, I-- it's so--

it's so nice to meet a man like that nowadays.

Oh.

Yeah, well.

Anyway, my wife and I, we don't talk.

What's to talk about anyway?

She shows me the bills from her shopping sprees, and I pay 'em.

But she never listens to anything

that I might want to say.

Now that's just not--

Let him talk.

[muffled speech]

Let him talk.

Are you all right?

Yes.

Yeah.

Do you know-- do you know, I thought I was going to sneeze.

Please.

Please, go ahead.

I was a cop before I left the force

and went into real estate.

Oh, at first, we were like partners, you know.

We used to talk about everything, and I don't know,

maybe she just got--

it was boring to her, you know?

So many times I wished that she would

just do what you're doing right now, you know, just listen.

But maybe what I had to say wasn't very interesting,

you know, not very important.

But you know, at times a person would just

like to be listened to, you know, so you

can feel important, you know?

I still love her.

I just can't seem to live with her anymore.

I guess what I'd like is to start over.

But life's not like that.

Roses?

Would you care to buy a rose for your lady?

Oh, sure.

Keep the change.

WOMAN: Thanks.

Here.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

It's just it's been such a long time since you've--

since, um-- since a man has given me a rose.

Yeah, well, it's been a long time since a woman

took time to listen to me.

You're a kind man, Frank.

You're a decent man.

I wish my wife thought so.

Let's, uh-- let's not talk about her for a while, OK?

Let's just you and me meet for the first time.

[soft laughter]

[upbeat music]

[snoring]

JONATHAN: Mark?

[snoring]

JONATHAN: Hey.

Hmm. JONATHAN: Mark, come on.

Hmm.

JONATHAN: Wake up. Wake up.

Oh.

Oh, my stomach.

Had to have been the garlic.

Here, drink this.

Oh, thanks.

[belches]

You certainly have a way with words.

Yeah, thanks.

I'm gonna get my coat.

We got to go.

MARK: Oh, Jon, come on, give me a break.

Hey, these are friends of yours, remember?

OK.

OK.

OK.

[sighs] Isn't it kind of late to go see Carla and Frank?

Oh, I've already seen them.

We're going to see Brad.

MARK: Oh.

How'd it go with Carla and Frank?

Oh, it was great.

Frank's with another woman.

- He's what? - Relax.

I'll tell you about it on the way.

[scoffs] Relax?

That's what I was doing until you woke me up.

[belches]

[dance music]

Here you go.

Thanks.

Hey.

WAITRESS: Yeah?

What's your name?

WAITRESS: Angie.

Well, hi, Angie.

I'm Brad.

It's a pleasure.

Can you sit down a minute?

Oh, I'm not supposed to.

BRAD: Oh, come on.

Just for a minute?

OK.

Angie, Angie, Angie, can I ask you something?

Sure.

Would you marry me?

What?

Would you marry me?

I mean, if we had been engaged for two years,

would there be any reason you wouldn't want to marry me?

Oh, gee, I don't know.

Did we have a fight?

No.

We're at a party at your folks' house,

and you just say I can't marry you,

and you gave the ring back.

Oh, wow, I wouldn't do that.

You wouldn't?

No.

I'd never give you that ring back.

JONATHAN: Brad?

Do you mind if I sit down?

Uh, don't think I'm rude, but I have company.

Yeah, well, she has to get back to work now.

Don't you, Angie?

I-- yeah, yeah, I'd, uh--

I'd better go.

JONATHAN: Oh, and Angie?

Call your mom.

What?

Give Doris a call.

She's worried about you.

You know, just because you two don't see eye to eye

is no reason to just run off without any explanation.

How did you know that--

That doesn't matter.

Just give her a call.

You can do it now.

She can't sleep.

Well, go on, give her the call.

Reverend, I'm not in the mood for, uh, company.

Look, Brad, I know you're feeling down in the dumps.

Getting drunk and doing something you might

regret later isn't the answer.

Hey, don't talk to me about answers.

There aren't any answers.

I couldn't get any from Trish tonight.

You know, I banged and banged on her door tonight.

She wouldn't answer.

Well, she was upset.

BRAD: She was upset?

What about me?

Brad, her parents are talking divorce.

Her grandparents are splitting up.

I mean, let's face it, she had a tough night.

Yeah?

Well, that's got nothing to do with us.

Hey, I know that, and you know that.

I just think it's going to take her

a little time to realize it.

That's all.

No, this wouldn't have happened

if she really loved me.

[scoffs] Brad, that's not the truth.

BRAD: I'm sorry, Rev, but that's the way I feel.

So I, uh, forget her.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Now, if you will excuse me, I'm gonna go see about taking

Angie home after work.

Brad.

Let him go.

But Jonathan, he--

Just let him go.

Angie.

Yeah?

You want another double?

Trish.

What?

Trish, what are you doing here?

Look, Mister, I just told you my name's Angie.

I think you ought to lay off the booze.

Excuse me, I-- I have to go call my mother.

Easy, boy, you'll be all right.

Just forget her.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Can I buy you a drink?

That's very kind.

MARK: Brad, hey.

Hey, you all right?

Yeah, I'm--

I'm fine.

I just think I want to go home.

Yeah, come on.

We'll drive you.

No, my-- my car's outside.

You're in no condition to drive.

Look who's talking.

You're the guy that crashed into me, remember?

I'll see you around.

We can't let him drive.

Don't worry.

He won't.

[distant siren blares]

Yeah, we thought we'd give you a lift.

[birdsong]

Rose?

Rosie?

What?

What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong, Rosie, not anymore.

Clarence, what are you talking about?

What-- what's all this about?

I had a dream last night, Rosie.

Oh, no.

No, sirree.

What's wrong?

I know what you're like after one of those dreams,

and you can just forget it, not after what you said

to me at the party last night.

Oh, Rosie, it wasn't that kind of a dream.

You're calling me Rosie.

You haven't done that in 20 years.

That's part of the dream too.

What dream?

The one I'm trying to tell you about if you'll just listen,

confound it.

That's why I made you this breakfast.

That's why I feel the way I do today.

All right, I'm listening.

But as far as I'm concerned, nothing's changed between us.

Rosie, I had this dream.

It started with that fellow Mark Gordon.

He came into my room.

You dreamed about that big fellow with a beard,

and that's why you're calling me Rosie?

And then I dreamt about that night, my bachelor party,

when I almost ran away from you and you stopped me.

Well, if I knew then what I know now,

I wouldn't have stopped you.

I'd have put you on that train to San Francisco.

And what's more, I would have bought you the ticket.

And if I'd have known then what I know now,

there's nothing could have pulled me away from you.

I love you, Rosie, always have, always will.

You're more than my best girl, Rosie.

You're my life.

Without you, I wouldn't have had any life--

no children, no grandchildren, no memories, no warm home.

All these things are tied up with you, Rosie.

They don't even exist without you.

Clarence.

CLARENCE: Yes, Rosie?

Get rid of this tray.

But I made it for you to enjoy.

We can eat later.

Oh.

Oh my.

Oh my goodness!

[uplifting music]

[wind chimes ring]

Hey, kiddo, how are you doing?

Hello, Uncle Mark.

You want some company?

Sure.

It's amazing.

You think you know your parents and then, all of a sudden,

everything collapses.

Oh, you never know.

They might get back together again.

No chance.

Sure there's a chance.

No, not anymore.

My mother's involved with another man.

Trish, I think you might be just

jumping to conclusions there.

No, I'm not.

She didn't come home at all last night.

And when I did see her this morning,

she walked around smiling.

She was so happy.

So what?

So-- so what, Mark?

She was acting like a woman in love.

[scoffs] Trish, have you ever seen

your mother with another man?

No, but I'm a woman.

I can tell.

Honestly, Uncle Mark, you are so naive.

My poor father hasn't been moved out of the house for three

days, and she's already involved with another man,

probably some young gigolo.

Trish, I cannot believe how unfair you're being.

I mean, you don't know anything.

Have you asked your mother?

A girl can't ask her own mother something like that.

She's making a fool of herself.

She's acting like a lovesick teenager.

I don't need any more proof than that.

You know what I think you're doing?

I think you're-- you're adding two and two together

and you're getting six.

Well, I'm just glad I broke it off with Brad.

Why?

Because I'm not going to end up like them.

[sniffles] It's so disgusting.

[sighs]

You know something, Trish?

Right now, you're being disgusting.

Me?

MARK: Yes, you.

I mean, you're being a busybody and a gossip.

You don't know if one thing that you're saying is true or not.

But let's say it is.

Let's just say it is.

It's their life, not yours.

You are a grown up adult now.

Your parents do not need your permission

to lead whatever kind of life they want to lead,

not your mother or your father.

She's my mother, and she's making a fool of herself.

MARK: Yeah, only in your eyes.

Who are you to judge her?

And I'll tell you something else.

You have no right to use what's happening

to your parents as a-- a crutch to keep

from making your own decision.

What are you talking about?

MARK: I'm talking about you and Brad.

I mean, you don't want to marry him?

Don't marry him. You want to marry him?

Marry him. You have doubts?

Well, welcome to the club.

Everybody has doubts before they get married--

and after.

The thing is that you've got to deal with them.

But you've got no right to throw the blame onto your parents

and say because of what's happening to them

you won't get married.

You don't understand.

MARK: I understand enough to know that you

have got a life to lead.

Well, do it and let them lead theirs.

Trish, that's all you can do.

That's all.

That and love 'em.

Yeah, it's just that my mother looks so happy.

Why couldn't she be that way with my father?

I'm miserable.

But why?

I thought you said you and Frank hit it off.

We did.

We've been having a wonderful time.

I mean, these last few days have been the most fun,

romantic times that we've had together in over 10 years.

But Carla, I thought that's what you wanted,

a chance to start over and see if there was still something

there.

Oh, there's plenty there, all right.

That's the problem.

I think he's falling in love with me.

And what about you?

What are your feelings towards him?

Well, it's-- it's like when we first met, when we were kids.

Except even better now because we're older

and can appreciate it more.

It's like some surprise gift that we

never even knew existed.

Oh, it's wonderful.

That's why I'm so miserable.

Well, that certainly makes sense.

Jonathan, all those things that are happening

are with her.

Who?

Her, that trollop Ono.

Carla, you're Ono.

Well, yes, but he doesn't know that.

Don't you see?

My husband's involved with another woman.

But you're the other woman.

But that's even worse because I

know everything he says to her.

I know every look, how much he cares for her.

Well, what are you going to do now?

Well, what can I do?

Sue myself for alienation of affection?

I think he's going to ask me to marry him

as soon as he can divorce me.

[sighs] I mean, what does he see in her?

She's not younger than me.

She's not prettier than me.

Is she?

No.

Well, then what does he see in her?

Carla, I think we can find the answer to that,

your problem will be solved.

[chatter]

Hi. FRANK: Hi.

I'm sorry I'm late.

No, you're not late.

I was early.

How are you?

Good.

Good.

- Ono, I've got-- - Frank, I'd like to--

[chuckles] - I'm sorry.

Go ahead.

Oh, no, it can wait.

Ono, these last few days have been wonderful.

I feel like a kid again, you know, only it's better.

I was telling someone that exact same thing today.

I think I'm falling in love with you.

Oh, Frank.

I-- I didn't want this to happen.

I know. I know.

I--

Let me finish.

See at first, I thought that you were

nothing at all like my wife.

And-- and you're not.

I mean, not like she is now.

Well, I realize I haven't been, well, like I've been with you

for a lot of years now.

I've been married 25 years, and I can't just throw that away

without trying, you know?

Ono, I can't see you anymore.

Are you going back to your wife?

Yeah, I want to try.

I've got to.

I was willing to stay with her just to, you know,

let things go along the way they were because I

thought that's all there was.

I didn't think I could feel much more than that anymore.

But now I know I was wrong.

You made me see that.

So in a way, you're responsible for my

going back and trying again.

Oh, Frank.

I'm really sorry.

You deserve so much better than that.

You deserve a man who--

who can love just you without any memories or other

loves to complicate things.

You've given me so much.

I'll never find another man like you, Frank.

And I'll never love another man as

much as I love you right now.

I'm sorry you got involved with me.

Oh, I'm not, oh no.

Look, you-- you tell that wife of yours,

you tell her that if either one of you blow it again,

neither one of you will be so lucky the next time.

I know.

No.

No, you don't, and that's all right.

I do.

Bye, my darling.

[wistful music]

Carla.

Hello, Frank.

I, um--

I've been thinking a lot these past few days about us.

So have I.

You have?

Uh-huh.

I-- I've been thinking about the way we used to be,

the way I used to be.

Oh, I just want it to be that way again.

So do I. So do I.

Oh, Frank.

[romantic music]

Carla, I have something to tell you.

And I-- I hope you'll understand.

No, no, you don't have to tell me anything, Frank.

No confessions, no explanation.

Let's pretend that-- that we just met

each other for the first time.

[deep sighs]

Oh, darling, I love you so much.

I know.

I know.

[lullaby music]

[snoring]

[telephone ringing]

Hello.

TRISH (ON PHONE): Reverend Smith, I'm sorry if I woke you.

Oh, hi, Trish. No, no, it's all right.

I wasn't asleep.

TRISH (ON PHONE): I've called Brad's place,

but there's no answer.

I think I know where he is.

TRISH (ON PHONE): You do?

Yeah.

Look, I tell you what.

I'll, uh-- I'll pick you up in about 10 minutes, OK?

TRISH (ON PHONE): Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

No problem.

Mark.

Hmm?

What?

Hmm?

Get dressed.

We've got to go.

Oh.

Yeah, not again.

No.

[groans]

[soft jazz music]

[chatter]

Hello, Brad.

Oh boy.

I haven't even had a drink yet.

Brad.

Look, Angie, I, uh--

I want to be alone tonight.

Angie?

Brad, what are you talking about?

Trish?

Trish, it's you?

Yes.

Oh, Trish.

Mm.

Will you forgive me for being a dope?

I love you so much.

Oh, Trish, I love you too.

Well, friend, we did it.

MARK: [snoring]

[birdsong]

And then I was so busy with my hair,

I missed the cue for the "Wedding March."

[laughter]

Go on downstairs.

I'll see you there later.

Oh, you all look so pretty.

Your hair looks lovely, my dear.

I'm so nervous.

That's the way you're supposed to be.

Your grandfather was so nervous on the night of his bachelor

party that he almost ran away.

Lucky for me he didn't.

Lucky for all of us.

Any last minute advice, Grandma?

Oh, I'm not the one to give any advice.

After 49 years, it's still all a mystery to me.

You become man and wife, have a home, family, children.

These are the things that bind you together.

Make memories, my darling.

And when things don't go smoothly between you two,

let them remind you of who the two of you are

and all that you have together.

And if you live to be my age and one day find yourself

angry at Brad because of all the little things that

got in the way of all the things that really count,

just remember that inside that crotchety old fool

you would like to strangle is the boy you fell in love with.

A wise old man told me that a long, long time ago.

I'd forgotten all about it till just the other night.

Good luck, my darling.

Thanks, Grandma.

I'm going to get dressed now.

I expect some great grandchildren out of this,

and don't you forget it.

I'll be right down, Mom.

I love you, Mommy.

Oh, I love you, baby.

This is the last time I get to hug you as my little girl.

[sniffles] You've got a boy out there

waiting to be your husband.

Your place is with him now.

Oh, good luck, honey.

You're gonna get married.

[chatter]

Ladies and gentlemen--

ladies and gentlemen, the families

have asked me to make a brief announcement,

just so you'll know you're getting into a little more

than you probably bargained for.

You came here today to witness the marriage of Brad and Trish.

But there'll be three couples here on the altar

today because Frank and Carla and Clarence and Rose Kelly

have decided to renew their vows also.

The couples and their families want me to tell you

how happy they are that you're here with them today

to share this precious moment.

Clarence.

Yes, Rosie?

I love you, you old crotchety fool.

Well, don't you think I know that?
