So, what have we got?
Well, what we know is
it's a woman, americana.
Una gringa.
Si, senor.
I caught her outside the church.
We have the weapon.
Oh, good.
We have a man in the hospital.
El pobre.
Poor guy.
And you have her back here?
Yeah.
Here she is.
Senora crawford.
The name is alston.
Martha alston.
Cigarette?
I don't smoke.
You wanna tell us about it?
Uh, miss alston,
How does a woman like you
wind up doing something like this?
I don't know.
All i know is i was
31 and still single.
Uh-Huh.
Go on.
And my sister was 25
and getting married.
It was a beautiful wedding.
Really.
I was really happy for her,
and i was havin' a great time.
That is, until all
the pressure started.
Well, i guess it
won't be long
Before we're shopping
for baby clothes.
Mom, they just got married.
And you'll be next.
Gee, mom, did you just find out
you had a year to live or somethin'?
Come on, jan.
Give the kid a break.
She's got a lot
going on in her life.
She's bright, she's beautiful,
She's got a great job, and
we're very proud of her.
- Thanks, dad.
- Sure, honey.
So are you seeing anyone?
All right.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Look at ann ie.
The one on the end is kinda cute.
He looks like jerry.
The one that cried the first time
you made love.
That was great.
Then i found out he
cried every time.
You know, men should be
required by law
To admit what's wrong with them
on the first date.
Yeah.
Don't worry, martha.
You'll be the next one.
Okay, aunt belinda.
Thank you.
Oh.
She's drunk.
That is my 37th
"don't-Worry-You'll-Be-Next" tonight.
What is all this about pressuring
single people to get married?
I was married, and believe me,
marriage is its own living hell.
Look at them.
They're so happy and in love.
That is beautiful.
Yeah.
I give it a year.
Come on.
One day we'll have that.
You honestly believe that?
I do.
I really do.
On my good days.
And if it doesn't happen,
so what, you know?
I mean, i have a great life.
I'll be fine.
I'm gonna stop looking, 'cause
that's when it happens anyway,
When you're not looking.
Yeah.
We should just kick back
and let it happen,
If it's supposed to.
As a matter of fact, let's forget
the word "marriage" even exists.
Good idea.
At a wedding, forget
the word "marriage."
She's about to throw the bouquet!
Oh!
Hurry!
Qu ickly!
We gotta catch it!
Okay, so i didn't catch
the bouquet,
And i didn't really care.
I didn't, until it
was valentine's day,
The lamest day on
a single girl's calendar.
I worked on one of those
early-Morn ing shows.
You know, the whole point is,
they've had their caffeine
But ya haven't had yours.
Anyway, that was the day
that it happened.
That was the day i met h im.
I've said it before.
I'll say it again.
Regis and kath ie lee, look out.
E-Flat in ten seconds.
Okay.
We got six seconds left.
Yeah, you're a man who counts, marty.
H i, san diego!
Good morn ing, everyone.
We've got qu ite a love day
show for you.
One of your favorite
celebrity couples,
Mr. And mrs. Casey kasem
will be renewing their vows live...
Going good.
As always, dick's hair plugs
are mesmerizing.
Girl, leave h im alone.
Lunch?
Yeah.
Hey, missy, would you get sam tony
from perpetual artists
On the phone for me, please?
Just as soon as i put these
fabulous roses in some water.
They're from my fiance.
Do you want me to put some
in your office?
I'm sure my fiance wouldn't mind.
No, that's okay.
That's...you know, i'll just
call mr. Tony myself.
Super.
Yeah, that'll give you a chance
to put those fabulous flowers
In the vase, the ones
from your fiance.
Okay.
There's no need to yell.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
May i present mrs. Casey kasem.
Isn't she beautiful?
Yeah.
Okay.
Could you just leave a message
for mr. Tony, then?
It's about the mayberry,
r.F.D retrospective.
We have gomer, but
we still need goober.
Yeah. Okay.
Bye-Bye.
- Hey.
- H i.
I got everyth ing from
the video library for this, uh,
Tribute to famous
wh ite house pets.
There's some great footage of
h illary giving socks the cat a bath.
Oh, thanks, walter.
That'll be a big help.
And one more th ing.
For you.
Aren't you sweet?
Where'd you get that,
missy's desk?
Happy valentine's day.
Oh, thanks.
You look great today.
- You say that every day.
- Well, someone should.
Oh, you're sweet.
Sweet boy.
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet.
Come on.
You know, there is a time
for a hug to end.
Ya hug and then ya break.
Come on, walter.
You do this every week.
But i don't do this.
Oh, don't get on your knees.
Please get up.
Up.
I'm already down here.
Just run with me
for a second here.
Look, it's valentine's day.
Neither one of us has
a very special person
To spend valentine's day with.
I th ink that means something.
Hmm. Right, i agree.
No, i th ink it means that
it's a coincidence,
And besides that,
i have a blind date.
Please get up, walter.
Martha. Guess what.
You're the most wonderful
woman that i've ever known.
Now that i have found you, i'm not
going to let you get away that easily.
I'd like you to know that.
I'd like you to know that people
are now pulling up chairs.
Okay.
Can you sit down, please?
Yeah, he's on h is knees.
Wait.
She's looking.
Thank you.
Walter, it would never work.
Let's just...
let's not complicate things.
Yes.
Yeah.
Martha, i have tony on two.
- All right.
- All right.
Hey, walter?
We're still on for that humiliating
defeat at air hockey tomorrow,
Aren't we?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, um, and i...
i, uh...
I reorgan ized your
whole rolodex this morn ing.
My name falls under the w's.
You're the most excellent dude.
- I almost wore that.
- Really?
Nope.
My ph ilosophy is,
People are always gonna
need a place to live.
We just have to give
'em a reason to buy.
That's...that's very interesting.
I've always been able to sell.
Alw ays.
Why, i could even sell
an oven to an eskimo.
Do you mean a refrigerator?
Why would they need
a refrigerator?
It was wonderful
meeting you, martha.
Yeah, it was great.
Mmm, you smell so good,
so clean.
Oh, well, i showered yesterday.
Really?
Must be good, strong soap.
Uh, can i french-Kiss you?
N ight.
What, 7:25?
Okay. Thanks.
Hello.
Hello there.
Th ink i forgot you?
No way.
Oh, my god!
No.
Where is it?
There's the...oh.
Did you just play this song?
- Looks that way.
- Really?
Yeah. Really.
Wow.
"Wow"?
I was just gonna play this song.
I dropped my quarter.
I was lookin' for my quarter.
I love this song.
It's kinda funny.
Not the song.
The song isn't funny.
The song is sort of a bummer
In a cathartic, sexy,
romantic type of way,
If you know what i mean.
I don't believe i have a clue.
Are you lonesome?
No.
Hey, why don't we go
and have some coffee
And moo goo gai pan?
I don't even know you.
I'm wh itman.
Th is is so funny.
I mean, i never do
anyth ing like this.
I'm...i'm kinda shy,
actually, so it's, um...
It's hard for me to feel at
ease with people right away.
Well, you're probably
not like those people.
You're different.
Isn't it strange?
I feel like i already know you,
and i don't even know what you do.
Oh, uh i'm an investor.
Like a banker?
Um, no, just
an independent investor.
I write a little also.
Do you?
What?
Poetry.
How wonderful.
Have you been published?
Well, yeah, uh...
I have a book.
Wow.
I'm sayin'
that a lot tonight.
Yeah.
Well, uh,
I could show it to you
sometime, if you like.
I would love to see it sometime.
Great.
Oh. Hey.
Look at this.
It's beautiful.
Yeah.
It is.
What?
I'm...i just...i can't
believe any of this.
Uh...
Uh, sometimes you have to just
trust what you can't believe.
After all, life is a
synchron icity of chance.
Uh...
I, um...
I just wanna say, uh,
that i'm not...
I-I'm not looking to get
into anyth ing serious,
And i don't know if that's
what...i'm just...i just...
I just can't.
I'm not into, um...
I'm very busy, and, um...
What the hell am i saying?
I th ink i'm gonna faint.
I'll catch ya.
What?
Well, i don't know.
It just made me th ink of this.
You can tell me.
When i was a little girl...
i was about six years old...
I was at home and my
parents were downstairs and, uh,
I look in the window
and there's a clown.
- A clown?
- Yeah.
He was totally happy
and smiling and waving at me,
And i thought he was a special
friend that god had sent to me.
I found out later that
the people next door
Had h ired h im for
their son's birthday
And he got the wrong house.
I know it sounds stupid,
but it meant a lot to me.
It was just so...
So happy and unexpected.
And happy and unexpected
doesn't happen that often, ya know?
Uh-Huh.
Hey, i know.
These eight-Seed
bagels are good.
Did you get 'em
for valentine's day?
Uh, no.
What did you two do
for valentine's day?
Uh, we had ham.
I had kind of an
interesting valentine's day.
Just a date.
Oh, uh, isn't that n ice?
What's h is name?
Wh itman crawford.
Oh, uh, do you th ink
you'll be seeing h im again?
- Later today.
- Really?
Yeah.
He has a surprise planned for me.
He's...he's like that.
What's he do?
He's a poet.
And a very, very successful investor.
Oh.
- When do we get to see h im?
- When do we get to meet h im?
Mom, dad, this is brand-New.
I just met the guy.
Don't be blowin' things
out of proportion.
He's brilliant.
He's handsome.
He's sensitive.
He's passionate.
He's funny.
He's incredibly sexy.
- Did you?
- Yeah.
- Did you?
- Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
- Did you?
- Yeah.
Oh!
God, i didn't even react that big.
Yeah.
That is so...all right.
Calm down. They're gonna hear.
Well, there's only
been one serious relationsh ip.
Uh, her name's inga.
- Inga?
- Yeah.
It didn't work out.
How 'bout you?
No, noth ing serious.
Why not?
I don't know.
I spent a lot of time
playing games
And dating other people
who played games.
Honesty is better, isn't it?
Yes.
When you're not serious,
you should say so.
Uh-Huh.
And when you are,
you should say so.
Yep.
Oh, let's do everyth ing together.
Oh, yeah.
Would you like to hear some
of my poetry?
I would love to.
It's a little late to be
modest, isn't it?
Well, people who live in
glass houses better wear shorts.
Isn't that a saying
or something?
"The three-Fingered dawn
creeping slowly over the h ills
"And the footh ills
of one's cerebellum
"Bleeds profusely for the loss
"Of all one believes in.
"Souls unlit by flame,
"Untouched by passion
and unknown by others,
"Transported from one place
"To another...
"Places with in
"And without,
"Places we're
afraid to cry about yet
"Gladly call home like e.T.
"Still, though,
"The sh ip courses on,
"Through the blood-Red,
"Three-Fingered waters,
"Headed homeward
"Like a tired sailor,
"Headed homeward,
"Homeward
Towards love."
That...
That was beautiful.
Wh itman, that...thank you.
Beautiful.
Really, really beautiful.
Thank you.
Aw, geez,
It's...it's beautiful.
Ah.
Hello.

You got that?

Ooh, i'll sign for those.
Hey. I got your car detailed.
They didn't have new car smell,

An alcoholic beverage, isn't it?
And, hey, do you want to

They're doing

In front of people you don't know

But is that good for you?
Is that good for your soul?
I don't know.

A can of beer at an old man?
Why did he throw a can

boston.
Martha, the guy i'm going

All right, no, he th inks sizzler

Martha, he calls my

All men are horrible

Yeah. Maybe you're right.
I mean, maybe he's
just trying too hard.
There you go.
Tomorrow will be better.

Um, yeah.
Wh itman,
You are...
You're an incredible person.
I mean, you're really
somethin' else, you know?
Um, and i've...i've really
mostly enjoyed
The time that we've
spent together.
But sometimes it's
about chemistry, you know?
And...and sometimes chemistry
works and sometimes it doesn't.
Sometimes you get a...
get an explosion
Or...or a really bad smell.
You know what i mean?
It's not good.
Okay.
You know how, um,
you feel about inga?
You know how, you know,

But you don't love her?
How you used to love her but...
but you don't love her anymore?
How...how...okay, look.
Here's good.
Th is is good.
I am salt and you
are pepper, all right?
Okay?
Now, salt and pepper
goes together, right?
Sometimes, you know?
But some...it doesn't have to.
You don't have to have
pepper with salt.
Sometimes salt goes alone.
Sometimes salt goes
with other herbs, even.
And i'm...i'm saying that i
wanna see other herbs.
Martha...
I understand what you're saying.
And don't worry.
I'm not gonna let your fear
of intimacy destroy this.
I'm not.

I'm not gonna walk out on you.
I won't desert you and the kids.
I swear that, all right?
Wh itman.

Oh, god.

I don't know, and i don't care.

Okay, fine. I do.
I can. I will.
Oh, no, don't.
Don't do it.
Don't...
Ah.
Oh, my god.
Hoo!
That's love.
Martha, i love you!
I'm gonna call you tomorrow.

Wh itman, listen to me.
Wait, wait, wait.
Oh, you haven't seen my love dance.
I th ink i'm gonna go home now.
Did he do anyth ing to you?
Assault you in any way?
No, but i mean,

Do you know how scary that is?
He's got an ex-Girlfriend,
a crazy ex-Girlfriend, inga,
Who's, who's harassing me and,
and bob, her sidekick, a huge guy, bob.
Inga...check your clipboard.
Inga and bob.
Anyth ing for them?
We'll file a report, ma'am.
Good n ight, ma'am.
They...she stuck gum in my hair!
From what you've
told me, ms. Alston,
Th is guy is just your
garden-Variety compulsive type.
Pooh.
I've seen a million of 'em,
But i'll check h im out,
See if there's anyth ing
in h is background
That you should be alarmed about.
Great.
Mm, uh, in the meantime...
In the meantime,
just live your life.
Try not to worry so much.
Thanks, mr. Tramonte.
So i'm really sorry things
didn't work out with wh itman.
Well, you win some,
you lose some.
Yeah. I'm really sorry about that.
Really sorry.
You sound so genu ine.
Thank you for your concern.
- That's what friends are for.
- Aren't they?
- Damn shame.
- Okay.
That's enough of that, okay?
You know, i checked out
this opera we're about to see.
- Mm-Hmm?
- Mm-Hmm.
Turns out it's the touch ing
story of a young servant
Who goes through all these changes
over this older, rich master guy's
Would-Be girlfriend,
But the young guy ends up with
her in the end, oddly enough.
Hmm.
So it turns out
that the whole th ing
Could've been avoided
if she just...
Not that this resembles
your life in any way.
Sure.
Then we wouldn't be here,
would we?
There would be no opera,
so it's good that...
Who wouldn't...shh.
That's enough.
It's starting.
You look terrific.
Th is is even better than
that padres game we went to.
Thanks for not bringing
that beach ball.
That would've been
embarrassing.
Excuse me.
Oh, i saw a souven ir stand
up there.
Thought maybe we could
get some t-Shirts.
You be all right here?
Yeah. I'll be fine.
I'll see you in a minute.

I wasn't kidding.
I said i don't wanna
see you anymore.
I don't wanna see you anymore.

Loud and clear.
Okay, okay.
You want me to listen to you more,
To hear you more and stop
th inking only of myself.
So come on.
Let's go.

Like maybe next tuesday

Hmm?
Dream on, little beauty!
Guess we'll just have

Are you okay with that?
No, bob!
I wanted her eaten by ants,
But this is obviously

Hold her down, bob!
Th ink about this, 'cause,

Okay, we could...

Now, for the last time,

God, you're bitch in', wh it.
Ooh, save her!

Last time i let you out of my

What was this, some
kind of human sacrifice?
You need taking care of, dear.
Wh itman.
- What is this?
- Th is is an r.V., Honey.
- Whose r.V.?
- Ours.
I thought we could
use a family veh icle.
- For what?
- For our little family.
Say hello to mama, kids.
Hola, mama.
That's little n icole,
and that's cody.
Aren't they cute?
They're consuela's kids.
You remember.
Mom's housekeeper.
Yeah.
Oh, god, wh itman.
Hmm.
Well, i know what you're th inkin'.
I always do.
You're th inkin', "wh it,
How come we aren't

Well, they're just to prime
the pump a little bit.
We're gonna begin our own family
just as soon as we are married.
- Si.
- Yeah.
What?
That's right.
In six hours, you and i will
be wed in los cabos, mexico,
At a beautiful little church
called saint margaret of the goats.
See?
No pesky blood tests

Ah, let's get on the road.
Here we go!
Okay, that's it.
Ch ildren, come with, uh, me...
Uh, poqu ito little ch ildren, um...
Nos vamos a quedar aqu i.
No, you don't understand.
No, little mother.
You don't understand.
Are you kidding?
Little jokie?
El joko?
No more questions, little mother.
All right, all right.
Come on.
Let's break it up.
Issues of control
happen when we're tired.
Can't you see, kids, that your
mother is just all worn out?
Don't be like that.
I don't know what you
did to these kids,
But i am gonna find a way out
and take 'em with me.
I am.
You're not gonna get away with this.
Honey, you don't understand.
Th is family is a legend in the making.
Mm-Hmm.
I mean, just look.
It was an act of fate
that we even met.
Kids?
You wanna hear how
your mother and i met?
Yes, dad.
I was in a bar,
And i played her favorite song.
Hmm.
By accident.
Yeah, h it the wrong
button, but from that point on,
We were on each other
like a couple of weasels.
Moral of that story is,
accidents are the dirt
That legends grow out of.
Huh?
Come on, honey.
You look lovely in the clothes
that i picked out for you.
I feel funny.
Do ya?
Well, i took the liberty of
slipping a little relaxant
Into your water.
I thought you might be
a little tense.
Now...oh, that's
noth ing scary, darling,
Just a little mixture
that i came up with:
A little, uh, chamomile
and some, uh, l.S.D.
Okay, that would w...
That would be why i'm
seeing worms on your face.
Kids! We're gettin' close!
All right, dad.
Uh...
So when i...when i was
drinkin' the...the...the...the...
The tea?
You're gettin' in touch
with your joy.
Oh, you're gonna get
me started now.
Yeah.
Whoa!
Whoa!
God, it's good to have you back!
I'm gonna kill ya!
No, you're not.
Yes, i a...
No, you're not.
I'm gonna kill ya.
Whoa, well, i'll just
have to love ya as a ghost,
And, uh, you could have
dreadlocks like whoopi goldberg.
Did you like that?
I'm gonna be sick.
Well, in sickness
and in health, dea...
No. Whoa.
Now, that's a little...
Come here.
Now, we don't really walk...
Uh, okay.
Oh, uh, kids, kids!
Mommy, where are you going?
Darling.
N icole.
Go on outside and find a lizard.
Be qu ick.
Where's mommy, n icole?
She's wash ing her hands

Bienven idos, damas y caballeros.
Ya que el novio esta ancioso...
Okay.

It's bigger than me.
You've worn me down.
Maybe this could work.
What the hell am i saying?
I've gotta get out of here.
I've gotta get out of this.
Th is can't happen.
Can it?
Wh itman, aceptas a martha

Probably down to the worm by now.
So long, kid.
Thanks, bob.
Don't get me wrong.
I love inga, but i couldn't

Come on. Get on the horse.
No, i'll walk.
Yeah, i insist.
Come on.
Get on the horse.
Thank god.
Wow, this is romantic.
Two people separated by chance finally
reun ited, going off into the sunset.
It reminds me of an affair to remember
with cary grant and deborah kerr.
Walter, she can't walk.
She gets run over.
No, but i mean,
uh...all right.
All right.
What about casablanca?
Humphrey bogart, ingrid bergman.
Walter, she leaves h im.
What about gone with the wind?
He leaves her.
Aah.
What, uh...
What movie ends with two people
ridin' off in the sunset?
Don't worry about it.
It doesn't matter, walter.
You know why?
Why?
Because the sun sets in the west,
And we're supposed to be
heading north towards the border.
Oh, yeah.
Well, can't we just turn
right when the lights go out?
- I mean, this is kinda n ice.
- Yeah, it is n ice.
Blinding, but it's n ice.
