are quite the dancers.
- Well, you're not
too shabby yourself.
- Oh, please.
I haven't danced in years.
I didn't even want to come.
- I'm glad you did.
- Oh, Barbara's always
dragging me to some such thing.
(laughing)
- So, tell me about this
- Oh, you heard
about that, did you?
- I find it kinda odd
that you'd quit the church
when you've got a pageant
right around the corner.
- Oh, indeed.
It is my most favorite
church service of the year.
do something different,
so he's let his
wife ruin things.
I ran that pageant for 40 years,
never heard one word
of complaint, not one.
- Imagine that.
- Today's generation
just isn't interested
in the things of the past,
our history, our heritage.
- Well maybe you
should pass the baton.
- Oh, they are not ready
for such responsibility.
- Maybe we should
get them ready.
You know, guide
them, direct them.
It's not like we're
gonna be around forever.
Maybe we should
have a new pageant.
- Maybe we should
have a new pastor.
- Maybe.
It's messed up,
what he did to you.
(sentimental instrumental music)
But you shouldn't hate
the church for it.
- Hate the church?
Mr. McGilicuddy, I
had two husbands,
both taken from me by death.
I have no children.
My siblings have
all passed away.
Oh I assure you, I
don't hate the church.
The church is,
all I have.
And I will fight with
everything that I am
to see that it carries
on as God intended.
- You're a strong woman.
I can see why they
all follow you.
- You are too kind.
- I know it's not my place, but,
maybe you should call this
You know, let the choir
do what they love to do.
For the church's sake.
I for one would rather
see you using your talents
and your influence in a
more positive fashion.
- You're right.
It's not your place to say.
I'll call off the boycott.
The choir may
return, if they wish.
- That is the most selfless
thing yet, Mary Margaret!
- But I can't go back, not as
long as that pastor is there.
- He doesn't want the
choir back without you.
- How would you
know what he wants?
- It just seems like
you two are closer
than you may think.
I mean, really, you both
want the same thing, right?
What's best for the church.
Maybe you can work
somethin' out,
find some middle ground.
- Oh, I'll deal with the pastor
at the next board meeting.
Until then, his wife
can run the choir.
(hair dryer humming)
- Hey babe, have you heard
I was thinking about this summer
and thinking that it might
really be the perfect time
to move the kids, out of
school and everything.
Have you thought of a name for
your television show, babe?
Do you think the kids would
get a chance to be on the show?
(gentle piano music)
What an answer to prayer.
I said, what an
answer to prayer.
- I heard you.
- What's wrong?
- Nothing.
(laughing)
- You turned down
the job, didn't you?
- What?
How did you get that?
From that?
- John!
- Yes.
- And they're probably
going to fire you.
- No, no, I brought
the choir back.
- Well I thought we
could just get away
from all these problems.
- Well, First Church
has problems too, right?
- It was just a big opportunity.
- Well, maybe our
opportunity is here.
Seriously, like, you know, maybe
things are gonna
start to change.
Maybe I'll figure out
how to work something out
with Mary Margaret.
Maybe,
your darling husband
is gonna lead this church
to be what it needs to be.
- That's a lotta maybes.
- Yeah, I know.
- You know what?
Okay.
Lead the way.
- Come here.
(tense instrumental music)
It's time for Frank and
Milo to say goodbye.
- Sit down, gentlemen.
