And So It Goes Page #7

Synopsis: Oren Little has turned his back on all his neighbors and shunned the notion of being kind to others after the death of his wife. Next door neighbor Leah has put her soul, and her tears, into her stagnant singing career after the death of her husband. But then Oren's son shows up needing Oren to take care of his daughter Sarah. Oren has no patience for children, Leah never had any of her own, but 9-year-old Sarah just might be the spark that allows these two lonely souls to turn their home into a Little Shangri-La.

I like the new look.

Thank you.

Come on, sweetie.

Thank you so much.

How'd it go tonight?

It went fine.

Did you do the Bonnie Raitt song?

Yeah, I did.

I did the Bonnie Raitt song.

When are you leaving?

As soon as Luke gets out.

Day after tomorrow.

- Where will you go.

- I got a place up in Vermont.

Sarah Beth and I we talked about

retiring there.

That sounds really nice.

Yes. It is quiet.

This all worked out good.

- Good.

- You don't need an agent anymore.

No.

Sarah gets her father back.

We all get to stay here

in Little Shangri-La.

I'm gonna miss you.

I'll miss you too, Leah.

Well, I guess I gotta go back inside.

Are you sure you don't want

to use some financing? Mortgage?

Interest rates on super-jumbos

these days are great.

We just want to own this house.

Cash is okay?

Cash is fine, yes.

How old are your kids?

Roberto is 2. Maria, 5.

J.J., 7 and Victor almost 9.

My Luke was 3 when we moved here.

And how many years ago is that?

- Thirty-two.

- Our children will love it here, Oren.

We will love your home for you.

We're nearly done here.

You will always be welcomed back.

The next song has a very special

meaning to me.

When I was 17 and...

I love this song.

It was playing...

when I realized I was in love

first time in my life.

I was really in love.

And you know how powerful

that first love is,

you just think you're never going to

have those feelings for anybody else.

For the road.

44 years, Claire.

You look exactly the same.

You know, I once heard someone

say that every hello

is just a goodbye waiting to happen.

See, it's sh*t like that,

that makes people sound stupid.

Good luck, Oren.

But sometimes...

life outlives love.

I never thought that I'd ever

fall in love again.

But here I am,

what's the matter right?

I'm still...

singing this song...

and still dreaming...

of love.

Why'd you do all this?

You're my son.

Daddy!

Hey, S.B.

I just wanted to say good-bye.

Every time.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

So I notice the crying

has got back into the act.

Well at least

I almost got through the song.

I thought you were going

to leave without saying goodbye.

Well, I did try,

but it didn't feel right.

- How human you're becoming, Oren.

- Not as human as you might think.

I had no problem with

the not saying good-bye part.

You know, but a few miles

outside of town...

I discovered that I had

a big problem with the leaving part.

- Why might that be?

- I think you got some idea.

If it's what I think it is,

you're gonna have to say it.

I couldn't live next door

to you as a friend.

I don't want to be your friend.

I don't want to be

in your good graces.

I want to be with you.

- Would you like a ride home?

- Yes.

Of course you know if we do this

you have to spend the whole night.

- Really?

- Every night.

Oh geez, I should have thought

this whole thing through.

How do caterpillar's just know

how to make a cocoon?

- It's called nature.

- Oh, I love the music.

- It was Dad's idea.

- He's very talented.

- How would you know?

- That's what I heard.

- Look at that.

- Oh, my gosh.

How'd you do that?

There's an App that creates time

lapse photography.

- I'm sure there is.

- Oren, look, look.

Look, Oren, it's a butterfly!
