I'M SURPRISED.

YOUTH CAN, INDEED,

BE PROBLEMATIC:

WHEN MAKING SUCH

SERIOUS LIFE DECISIONS,

AND I ALWAYS:

RECOMMEND:

THAT YOUNG COUPLES

TAKE THEIR TIME,

SPREAD THEIR WINGS.

BUT I CAN CLEARLY SEE

THAT THESE TWO:

HAVE THEIR FEET ON THE GROUND

AND A GOOD HEAD:

ON THEIR SHOULDERS,

AND I HAVE NO DOUB THAT THEY ARE ENTERING

INTO THIS MARRIAGE

WITH LOVE AND REASON.

CONGRATULATIONS, COLLIN.

THANK YOU.

-SOPHIA.

-THANK YOU, PASTOR.

I KNEW THA WOULDN'T WORK.

OH, DID YOU?

WELL, IF YOU WERE SO SURE,

WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SOMETHING?

AT LEAST I'M TRYING.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING

OTHER THAN POINTING OU WHAT I'M DOING WRONG?

AT LEAST I'LL THINK

OF A BETTER PLAN

THEN MARRIAGE COUNSELING.

FINE, THEN DO IT.

FINE, I WILL.

WELL, AS FUTURE IN-LAWS,

YOU GUYS ARE GETTING ALONG

JUST GREAT.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

-MARCO!

-HI.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

MR. AMORINI!

YOU READY TO GO?

YOU BET.

WE'RE GOING FISHING.

THAT'S RIGHT...

A LITTLE FATHER-IN-LAW,

SON-IN-LAW BONDING,

JUST THE TWO OF US,

SO WE CAN GET TO KNOW

EACH OTHER BETTER.

SEE YOU IN THE CAR.

EXCUSE ME...

HOW IS FISHING BONDING

GOING TO HELP?

I GOT THIS, ALL RIGHT?

PERSUASION:

IS MY SPECIALTY.

WHERE'D YOU GO?

THERE YOU ARE.

HERE, USE...

YEAH, USE ONE OF THESE.

IT'S EASIER.

[MARCO]:
SO, COLLIN... IT'S A PITY

THAT, WITH ALL THE...

RESPONSIBILITIES OF RUNNING A FARM,

YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO SPEND

MORE FREE DAYS FISHING.

IT'S A LOT TO TAKE ON AT 22.

SOPHIA AND I BOTH THINK

THAT LIVING LIFE TO THE FULLES MEANS PURSUING YOUR GOALS.

WELL...

SOPHIA CERTAINLY HAS GROWN UP,

BUT SHE'LL ALWAYS BE

MY LITTLE GIRL.

I MEAN, YOU'VE ONLY BEEN

TOGETHER FOR TWO MONTHS.

MARRIAGE IS FOREVER.

ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE READY

TO DEDICATE:

THE REST OF YOUR LIFE

TO MY SOPHIA?

YOU'RE BOTH SO YOUNG.

AND IN MY LINE OF WORK,

I CAN TELL YOU...

WHAT YOU'RE FEELING TODAY

WILL PROBABLY VANISH

AT THE FIRST SIGN OF PROBLEMS.

MR. AMORINI...

I KNOW YOU THINK

I'M TOO YOUNG

AND THAT WE'RE LIVING

IN THIS WORLD OF DREAMS,

BUT I DO KNOW THAT MARRIAGE

IS A LIFETIME COMMITMENT,

AND WHEN THINGS AREN'T EASY,

YOU JUST DON'T QUIT.

MAYBE THAT'S WHA YOUR CLIENTS DON'T GET.

SIR...

I LOVE YOUR DAUGHTER.

SHE INSPIRES ME:

TO BE THE BEST MAN

THAT I CAN POSSIBLY BE.

I KNOW, WITH HER AT MY SIDE,

THAT I CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING.

I WON'T STAND FOR HER

BEING HURT.

NEITHER WILL I.

HOW DO YOU CAS THIS DARN THING?

OH, HERE.

NO...

WELL, UH, HERE...

SEE?

OOF!

I'M OKAY.

YEAH, PURPLE'S

MUCH BETTER.

YEAH.

[DOOR OPENS]

[LAUGHS]

OKAY, SO...

DID YOU CATCH ANY FISH?

FUNNY.

I KNEW IT.

OH, REALLY?

YEAH, REALLY.

WELL...

I DON'T THINK ANY OF OUR IDEAS

ARE WORKING.

OH, AND COLLIN TOLD ME

THEY'RE GONNA SEE

A FARM TOMORROW.

WHAT?

YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS

COULD THINK OF IT THIS WAY.

THE KIDS SEEM REALLY TENACIOUS.

I MEAN, THINK ABOUT IT.

FARM LIFE?

THAT'S A TOUGH LIFE.

-ARE YOU DONE?

-WE NEED TO GO WITH THEM!

WELL...

ABSOLUTELY.

ON THIS,

I THINK WE CAN AGREE.

HEY, DAD, IT'S ME.

I'M LOOKING FOR COLLIN.

HAVE YOU SEEN HIM?

MARCO JUST GOT BACK

FROM THEIR FISHING TRIP,

AND HE SAID SOMETHING ABOU HE AND SOPHIA

GOING TO LOOK FOR A FARM

TOMORROW?

I DON'T KNOW.

A LOT OF GOOD:

THIS FISHING TRIP WAS.

THANK YOU.

OH, WAIT, NEVER MIND.

I SEE HIM. OKAY.

HEY, BABY!

HEY!

I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU.

WHAT ARE YOU:

DOING HERE?

UH... REFILL.

BUT, UM,

NOW THAT YOU'RE HERE,

HOW WAS YOUR FISHING TRIP

WITH MARCO?

LOOK WHO'S DOING

THE FISHING NOW.

OKAY, SO YOU CAUGHT ME.

SERIOUSLY, HOW'D IT GO?

IT WAS GREAT.

-IT WAS?

-YEAH.

MR. AMORINI'S A GREAT GUY.

HE IS?

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I MEAN,

OBVIOUSLY,

HE'S NOT A FISHERMAN...

I MEAN, NOT LIKE YOUR DAD.

YEAH. IT'S OKAY.

AND HE GOT BETTER AFTER A WHILE,

AND BESIDES...

I THINK IT'LL BE A GOOD WAY

FOR US TO BOND.

AND I CAN TEACH HIM

HOW TO FISH, AND HE...

SO HE DIDN'T TRY TO TALK YOU

OUT OF YOUR PLAN WITH SOPHIA?

MOM, MR. AMORINI WANTS

WHAT'S BEST FOR HIS DAUGHTER,

AND SO DO I.

AND THAT IS...?

LOOK, MOM, I BETTER GO.

SOPHIA'S WAITING AT THE PARK,

AND I PROMISED I'D MEE HER WITH SOY LATTES.

OKAY, OKAY. BUT WHAT IS THIS

ABOUT SEEING A FARM?

YEAH,

THERE'S A FARM THAT WE FOUND

THAT WE'RE INTERESTED

IN LEASING.

WELL, YOU KNOW,

I THINK MARCO AND I WOULD LIKE

TO SEE THAT WITH YOU.

YEAH! THAT WOULD BE GREAT!

OKAY!

YOU CAN COME:

WITH US.

GREAT!

-YES!

-OKAY! MWAH!

[SPLAT]

OH...

I TOLD HIM TO WEAR BOOTS.

WHAT IS IT WITH YOU AND MUD?

[MAN]:
HEY, OVER HERE!

WELCOME!

[COLLIN]:
HEY!

OH, THAT'S

A GOOD QUESTION.

ON THE FARM,

WE KEEP LIVESTOCK.

THEY'RE ALL USED

TO BEING HANDLED,

BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN

THEY STILL WON' GIVE YOU A HARD TIME.

LET ME SHOW YOU:

THE BARN.

THAT SOUNDS:

LIKE A HANDFUL.

COLLIN, YOU NEVER

EVEN HAD A DOG.

AND REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED

TO THAT GOLDFISH YOU HAD?

NOT TO WORRY.

YOU'LL GET A FEEL

FOR THE ANIMALS.

OH, BUT YOU TWO

PROBABLY CAME FROM FARMING,

UNLIKE THESE TWO.

ACTUALLY, I WAS

AN ECONOMICS MAJOR,

AND MARIANNE HERE HAS GO HER Ph.D. IN PSYCHOLOGY.

COME ON.

I'LL INTRODUCE YOU TO BELLA.

[GOAT BLEATS]

THIS IS BELLA,

OUR NUMBER ONE:

MILK PRODUCER.

WOULD YOU LIKE:

TO GIVE IT A TRY?

SURE.

[WENDY]:
YOU MUST HAVE TO GET UP

AT THE CRACK OF DAWN

TO GET EVERYTHING DONE.

BUT IT'S WORTH I WHEN YOU SEE

THE SUNRISE OUT HERE.

YOU'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING

MORE BEAUTIFUL.

WELL, MAYBE THE SUNSET.

BE HONEST.

THE PAYOFF:

FOR ALL THE HARD WORK...

I MEAN, IT CAN'T BE

THAT MUCH.

WELL, IT WASN'T FOR US,

BUT THE OTHER FARMS

THAT HAVE GONE ORGANIC

AREN'T DOING BAD AT ALL.

WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT?

HE'S A NATURAL.

[MILK SPATTERS IN BUCKET]

MR. AMORINI?

YOU WANT TO GIVE IT A TRY?

NO... NO, I'M NOT...

OH, COME ON.

I'M NOT GOOD AT...

NO, SHOW SOPHIA THA IT'S NOT THAT EASY.

[MILK SPLATTERS IN BUCKET]

I DON'T SEE HOW TURNING

THIS PLACE INTO AN ORGANIC FARM

COULD BE EASY OR CHEAP.

BASED ON MY RESEARCH,

THE LAND NEEDS TO BE

PESTICIDE FREE:

FOR AT LEAST 36 MONTHS,

AND YOU NEED:

AN ORGANIC SYSTEM PLAN,

YOU HAVE TO BE CERTIFIED...

DAD, WE'VE ALREADY

BEEN IN CONTAC WITH THE LOCAL CERTIFICATION

AGENCIES.

AND OUR FIELDS HAVE BEEN FALLOW

FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS.

HA HA...

WOW, MR. AMORINI.

YOU'RE A REAL NATURAL AT THAT.

[COW BELLOWS]

[EVERYONE LAUGHS]

[COW MOOS]

[ROOSTER CROWS]

LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO NEED

A LOT OF MAINTENANCE.

COLLIN, LOOK!

THIS IS WHERE WE SHOULD

HAVE THE WEDDING!

YEAH, SOPHIA,

THAT'S BRILLIANT!

THIS IS WHERE WE'RE GONNA

BUILD OUR LIVES.

YEAH, THE SMELL OF COWS,

THAT'S REALLY ROMANTIC.

WHERE WOULD YOU EVEN HAVE

A RECEPTION?

NO, WE'D WANT I TO BE CASUAL,

BE MORE ABOUT OUR FRIENDS

BEING PART OF THE CELEBRATION.

LET'S NOT HAVE

A FORMAL RECEPTION.

OKAY, WAIT A MINUTE.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

[SOPHIA]:
WE WANT A SIMPLE

REFLECTION OF OUR LIFESTYLE,

RIGHT DOWN TO THE CAKE.

DEFINITELY VEGAN.

YES.

AGAIN WITH THE VEGAN.

DO THEY EVEN MAKE

A VEGAN CAKE?

CARROT CAKE?

I KNOW.

I DON'T EVEN

RECOGNIZE COLLIN.

IT MAKES ME WONDER

WHAT KIND OF A JOB I DID.

NO MATTER HOW GOOD
