It didn't work out

so she went back to Denver.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, well...

I have the kids with me now.

So we're gonna stop off

and see her on the way back.

I don't know.

- Is that why you're back? The house?

- Yeah.

Yeah.

So, you're getting married?

Well, congratulations.

I'm gonna call you every day from

Barbados until you take this job.

- No, you won't.

- You're right, I won't.

Listen, Molly,

why don't you come down with us?

- Oh, no!

- Why not? I'm sure he has a friend.

These guys always have friends.

They lift weights together.

- Will you stop?

- What?

Stop trying to fix me up. I'm fine.

It's Christmas. What are

you gonna do all by yourself?

I'm fine. I'm fine.

Yeah. I should stay home, too.

I don't know why I go every year,

I have such a lousy time.

The truth is, you know...

I don't think I like men any more.

Send me a postcard, OK?

Bye.

You wanna try Lex?

Yeah. Same difference. Same thing.

I'll get off over here.

- Keep the change.

- Thank you.

Jesus. Hello.

How are you?

- You surprised me.

- Me too.

- Yeah.

- Sorry.

No, good, good.

You look terrific. How are you?

I'm fine. How are you?

I'm good. Good.

When did you get back?

Little while ago. A few weeks ago.

- Just in time for Christmas.

- Yeah. Christmas.

- How is it?

- Good. Good.

I thought about you out there.

It was OK.

I mean, I thought about you.

I was wondering how it was going.

It didn't turn out exactly

the way I expected but, you know.

Yeah.

I'm sorry I didn't get

to see you when you left.

I'm sorry I didn't get

to say goodbye or anything.

Well, that's OK.

I wanted to but...

I mean, I tried. I would have...

You don't have to be polite about it.

I'm not... I'm not being polite.

I shouldn't have called you

that night. That was a mistake.

It was a bad time. I was confused.

Yeah. Sure.

- How are you? You look great.

- I'm... l'm... Well, thanks.

- How's the family?

- Good.

- Mike?

- Worse.

Oh, no.

- How about Joe?

- He's been growing. You know kids.

How's...?

Brian? He's good.

We've... We've been...

Well, he's fine.

Good. Good.

Good.

It's nice to see you again.

- I gotta go.

- Me too. Take care of yourself.

I will. You too. I will.

Bye.

Merry Christmas.

Yeah. Merry Christmas.
