We should.

We have to...

Yeah.

Nonsense!

You pulled the woman

out of a burning building.

You'd break her heart

if you didn't say goodbye.

Come on!

Mrs. Connelly,

I brought you a surprise!

Mrs. Connelly!

The hearing on this one.

Look who's here.

She's asleep.

Sweetheart.

She's stiff as a board.

No.

She's just hard-of-hearing.

Mrs. Connelly!

She's dead.

Oh, poor thing.

No.

She can't be dead.

I guess it was just her time.

Come on, I'll call

the Friedmans.

You don't have to stay here

for this.

Come.

Come, come, come.

Must have been

all the excitement.

I can't believe it.

She was so full of life.

I mean, for all our differences,

that old lady really had

a lot of spunk.

A lot of it.

Do you think she's up in heaven?

Well, I'll tell you something.

Wherever she is,

she's in a better place.

You should have seen their faces

when I said she was a goner.

So cheap, though I wish

I could have been there.

Trust me.

It wasn't easy holding

me breath all that long.

Next time, I want a bigger cut

of your commission, Kenny.

What are you talking about?

We give you everything, Ma.

There's barely enough left

for Danny and I to have

a cruise to the Caribbean.

I'm the one putting

me caboose on the line.

Oh, come on.

You had it easy

with Alex and Nancy.

They were a nice couple.

I do hope they'll be all right.

Ah, they'll be fine.

He's a writer.

They thrive on adversity.

I hope his next book is better

than his last one.

Maybe this time he'll write

about something he knows.

Alex and Nancy's dream house

may have been

too good to be true.

But did they live

happily ever after?

Well, read the book.
