you and Jim are gonna be

free to get back together.

I'll give you

a tremendous wedding.

Aah! Just leave me alone!

I hate you.

Oh, you don't care about me.

Who defended you

when you were having affairs

on my mother, who lied for you!

Nothing better to do with

your stupid pension.

All right, now, pattycat,

let's not hurt each other here.

Uhh!

Aah!

Well, that's just

unavoidable, isn't it?

Oh! How am I gonna face

anyone now?

Do you hear that?

I'm hiccuping now!

Here. Put this on.

Take it.

That's right.

Ok.

All right. Good going.

It's ok. One after

the other one.

Sorry.

Man:
All right, boys. That's

the last of the paperwork.

Copyright and trademark.

That's all you need.

Show me what you got.

You're going to want

to sit down for this.

This stuff is great.

...wash over you. Just

let it open your mind.

Open your mind. At the beach.

Ok, look at this, look at this.

Official angel halo.

See? Angel cola. Angel cola.

Everyone drinks cola.

The official "I love the

angel" bumper sticker.

Yeah! A buck apiece.

We'll sell millions of them.

An-gel. An-gel.

Do you get it, man? Gel.

Whoa!

Shh.

Look here. Hey.

Look. See?

This mean anything to you?

Come on. See?

Company picnic? Senior class?

Take these off. Here.

Oh, shh, wait, don't.

Shh.

Shh.

Woman:
Shh.

Bad back.

Old surfing injury.

Jim:
Good.

Yeah, keep your hands

to your side.

You just... step...

wonderful. No problem.

Don't worry. When Patty

sees what you are,

she's... she's gonna love you.

Hi, honey!

Patty?

Just... wait.

Patty, please. Please,

sweetheart, don't...

just don't overreact. Let me...

please let me explain, ok?

I... you can't...

Patty?

Ok, honey? You know what?

If you don't believe me,

see for yourself.

They say seeing is believing.

Well, you're not

gonna believe this.

You're not gonna believe

this, sweetheart. You're...

aw, come on. Give me a break.

Patty, come on. Shut off the...

Patricia, these are not

the actions

of a person involved

in a relationship

based upon commitment.

Patty! Come on.

Ohh...

Man on TV:
Please.

You've got it all wrong.

She means nothing

to me. Nothing.

Woman on TV:
Nothing. Ha!

I don't hear from you

for 3 days, tad.

You didn't even call... Yeah.

Patty! Oh, thank God.

Look, please, please,

don't hang up the phone.

Just listen to me.

I know you're furious, but.

I-I-I found her in my pool.

I-I mean...

I-I fell asleep and I woke up

and there was this noise

and I went outside...

Uhh. Ohh.

Woman on TV:
Oh, you.

Oh! Aah!

Come on.

Ow!

George:
Look.

Yes, of course, sir.

I mean, if I heard, you know,

if I heard this, I would

think it was crazy, too,

but I swear this is

on the level.

So you... oh, oh, wow.

So you're coming. Thank you.

That's tomorrow at the

press club at noon.

And just come as

you are, you know.

Just dress casually.

We'll be there. Ok.

Great. Bye-bye.

Don, that was the "daily news."

That's the end

of the list, man.

They're all coming.

Uh, how about all

the TV stations?

All the TV stations. All

the radio stations.

Tabloids. The works.

Ain't got the angel.

Now what are we gonna do

about Sanders?

Don't worry about that.

I've got everything

taken care of.

Do you know what Jim's

problem's always been?

He never thinks about himself.

That's why God created us.

I think when this

whole thing's over,

he's gonna come running up here

and plant a big, wet, juicy one

right there on my cheek and say,

"George, thank you."

I wouldn't count on it.

I've never seen him

this stubborn.

George:
Let's face it.

Jim is a screwed-up

little puppy right now.

Why do you think he's been

having these headaches,

acting like a space cadet?

He knows marrying Patty

and that stupid job's

not what he's supposed to

be doing with his life.

This angel's the best thing

that could've happened to him.

So, how are we

gonna get her, ace?

Ha. Once again,

the talented and lovely

miss Patty Winston

will assist us.

What?

How?

Even as we speak,

it's in the works, gentlemen.

Genius, this abduction.

Sheer genius.

Miss Patty Winston?

Yes. Whew. These are for you.

Who the hell are you?

I'm the love bug.

Hey, your boyfriend

really cares about you.

You have a good time

tonight, and remember,

love to live and live to love.

I'm the love bug

and once you're bitten, hey

you want a love hug

'cause you'll

be smitten ha!

'Cause I'm oh,

God, that was good.

Hey, did you see my sign?

Patty? What do you want, George?

I'm embarrassed, and I apologize.

We want to help.

Oh, really.

We thought maybe you'd

come by at 8:
00

and drink some beer.

Just the guys.

No, I'm not leaving her alone.

Ah. Well, bring her along.

We'll go someplace else.

Like where?

Pfft. The park?

The park? Why?

Just for old times' sake?

Ok, fine, George.

Just one thing, all right?

No screwing around. I mean it.

Come on. Trust me, Sanders.

Sure. See you.

"Trust me, Sanders." As

far as I can throw you.

Oh, no.

I got worried.

I thought you were gone.

I'm sorry if I interrupted you.

Your... Whatever.

Phone home?

We've gotta go meet the guys.

We, uh...

Better get you dressed.

Jim:
Well, I don't see them.

Of course, that doesn't

mean anything.

George is always late.

What?

What? Patty. Patty!

What are you doing here?

I don't know.

I am so stupid.

Jim:
Patty, wait.

Please don't leave. Just...

no, no, no, please.

Just stay here.

I gotta talk to her.

Patty, don't leave!

She be ours now, lads.

I've been so lonely

she can't understand

the way I feel

Patty, listen, don't leave.

Go. Your angel is waiting.

Listen to me. Leave me alone.

God, you really love

making a fool out of me.

Would you hear me out?

Man:
Aah!

If you want to

break it off with...

Listen to me.

I am not leaving you!

This isn't happening to me!

George:
Hang on.

Get her in. Quick.

Get her feet in. Come on.

George:
Come on!

Get her turned around.

Hurry up. Here he comes!

Be careful. She's shedding!

Man:
Aah!

Aah!

Rex:
Hurry. Come on!

Jim:
George.

Don't do it, George!

Don't do it! George!

No!... George:
Sorry, Jim Bob,

but this is for your own good.

Guys, let her go.

George, waaait!

Georrrge!

Aaaaah!

I still remember summer

way back when

we both felt the same

and I still love her

I can't stop thinking of her

I'm having trouble

understanding Jane

George?

Man:
Hey. Hey, look, look.

It's my favorite. See? Fun?

Bubble bear. Look. Watch.

Don, try the French fries again.

Right.

Look at this. Mm, French fries.

Yeah.

Rex:
Remember those?

All right. Mm. Easy.
