For Better or For Worse Page #5

OF A FATHER I WAS OR NOT,

I'LL TAKE CARE OF HER NOW.

DAD, ISN'T THIS

PLACE PERFECT?

WELL, I'D HARDLY

CALL IT PERFECT.

JUST LISTEN.

[WIND CHIMES]

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

IT'S LIKE THE WIND CHIMES WE HAD

ON OUR BACK PORCH, REMEMBER?

WHAT'S THIS?

YOUR PRENUP.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

I DON'T NEED A PRENUP.

THAT'S JUST EVEN MORE FOOLISH

THAN THIS WHOLE FARM BUSINESS.

MR. AMORINI, I APPRECIATE

YOUR CONCERN, BUT...

YOU'RE IMPOSSIBLE.

THAT'S IT?

THAT'S YOU

TAKING CARE OF HER?

WELL, IF SHE INSISTS

ON GOING THROUGH

WITH THIS WHOLE FARMING DEAL,

AT LEAST I WANT HER PROTECTED.

LOOK, I DON'T WANT TO SEE

COLLIN HURT EITHER,

BUT A PRENUP:

IS NOT THE SOLUTION.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU

SUGGEST, WENDY?

I DON'T KNOW.

HOW ABOUT THIS?

HOW ABOUT WE STOP FIGHTING

EACH OTHER,

AND WE STAR WORKING TOGETHER.

I CAN DO THAT.

[CAR DRIVES AWAY]

LOOKS LIKE I'LL BE

NEEDING A RIDE.

I GOT SOME ROOM IN MY TRUNK.

[COLLIN]:
DON'T WORRY,

WE'LL FIND A WAY TO GET IT.

I MEAN, IT WAS JUST PERFECT.

THE HOUSE, THE BARN, YOU...

[LAUGHS]

YEAH.

22 YEARS

I'VE KNOWN THAT BOY,

I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM

SO HAPPY.

[COLLIN]:
SOPHIA,

WE WILL MAKE IT WORK.

WE CAN DO:

ANYTHING, RIGHT?

'KAY.

I LOVE YOU, TOO.

OKAY, YOU'RE ALL SET.

OH, YOU LOOK AMAZING!

WHY, WHAT'S

THE OCCASION?

NO OCCASION.

JUST COFFEE.

MARCO AND I NEED TO DISCUSS

THE KIDS.

OH, MARCO? MM-HMM.

WELL, THAT'S AN AWFULLY

FANCY DRESS:

FOR A LATTE.

LOGAN!

WHAT A SURPRISE!

YEAH, JUST THOUGHT I'D COME BY

AND SEE IF YOU HAD ANY IDEAS

FOR MOVIES TONIGHT.

IT'S MOVIE FRIDAY, REMEMBER?

OF COURSE.

NOPE, I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING.

MM, DON'T WORRY, I'LL BRING

A DVD FROM MY PLACE.

SO... OH, THIS IS FOR YOU.

TWO CREAMS, NO SUGAR,

JUST THE WAY YOU LIKE IT.

ACTUALLY, LOGAN,

IT'S NO CREAM, TWO SUGARS.

IT'S NO BIG DEAL, REALLY.

IT'S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS.

WELL, ALL RIGHT.

UH...

WELL, SEE YOU TONIGHT.

OKAY! I'LL

SEE YOU TONIGHT.

SO, IF YOU'LL AGREE,

WE'LL GO AHEAD AND FILE

THE ANNULMENT REQUEST.

[KNOCKS GENTLY]

GREAT.

WELL, I LOOK FORWARD

TO WORKING WITH YOU.

SHALL WE?

LARGE COFFEE, DOUBLE SUGAR,

NO CREAM.

RIGHT. THANK YOU.

THAT WOMAN:

IN YOUR OFFICE EARLIER...

OH, RIGHT, YES. UM....

WELL, IT TURNS OUT HER HUSBAND

HAS A BIT OF A WANDERING EYE.

REALLY?

YEAH.

HEY, YOU KNOW, IT'S BETTER

TO FIND OUT THESE THINGS

SOONER THAN LATER.

THAT WAY, WE CAN ASK

FOR AN ANNULMENT.

IF NOT, WE GO TO BATTLE...

WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY WE NEED

TO GET ON TOP OF THIS.

[SIGHS]

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

IT'S JUST...

WELL, COLLIN AND SOPHIA SEEM

REALLY HAPPY, DON'T THEY?

YEAH, ABOUT AS HAPPY

AS THAT WOMAN IN MY OFFICE WAS

EARLIER ON HER WEDDING DAY.

PEOPLE IN UNHAPPY

RELATIONSHIPS AND MARRIAGES

SHOULD JUST... MOVE ON.

YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT. OKAY.

SO WHAT DO WE DO?

I DON'T KNOW.

SOPHIA'S NOT TALKING TO ME.

DO YOU BLAME HER?

COLLIN...

I DON'T EVEN RECOGNIZE COLLIN.

WHEN HE WAS WITH EMILY,

HE WAS...

HE WAS STEADY,

HE WAS ON THE RIGHT PATH,

HE WAS...

WHOA... EMILY?

WHO'S EMILY?

HIS EX-GIRLFRIEND.

HOW LONG AGO?

WHAT DOES IT MATTER?

NO, BECAUSE IF WE CAN GE COLLIN AND EMILY TOGETHER...

NO.

NO, NO, NO. I DO NOT WAN TO BRING EMILY INTO THIS. NO.

WENDY, THIS MAY BE

OUR ONLY HOPE.

SOPHIA, THIS WEEKEND, IS GOING

TO GO TO HER MOTHER'S.

LET'S PUT THEM TOGETHER

AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

MARCO... I DON'T...

I DON'T KNOW. THAT'S...

WENDY...

WE DON'T WANT OUR CHILDREN

TO GET HURT HERE.

WE'RE IN THIS TOGETHER.

[DOOR OPENS]

YOO-HOO!

MARCO!

THERE YOU ARE,

MY DANCE PARTNER.

HI...

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING

EVERYWHERE FOR YOU.

NOW, I NEED TO TALK TO YOU ABOU THE DANCE CLASSES AT THE HALL.

BEVERLY, I...

I HAVE BEEN PENCILING

YOU IN FOR TONIGHT,

AND THEN NEXT FRIDAY

AND SUNDAY...

BEVERLY, CAN WE JUST TALK

ABOUT THIS LATER, PLEASE?

NO, YOU KNOW WHAT?

THAT'S...

NO, NO, NO...

YOU WORK IT OUT WITH

YOUR DANCE PARTNER.

I HAVE TO GET GOING.

DO YOU KNOW THE TANGO?

TA-DAH!

SO, IN HONOR

OF NATIONAL BIOLOGY WEEK,

WE HAVE A RIVETING DRAMA

ABOUT LIFE IN THE TAIGA.

TAIGA?

OH, YEAH.

IT'S THE WORLD'S LARGES TERRESTRIAL BIOMES

OF CONIFEROUS FORESTS,

PINES, SPRUCES, LARCHES...

LET'S GO DANCING.

DANCING?

OH, NO, BUT IT'S DVD NIGHT.

COME ON. IT'LL BE FUN.

BUT... THE TAIGA...

YOU KNOW, WENDY...

IT'S BEEN SOME TIME...

ACTUALLY, A REALLY LONG TIME

SINCE I'VE DANCED,

AND EVEN THEN, IN COTILLION,

YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO SAY,

I NEVER REALLY MASTERED...

COME ON, LOGAN,

IT WON'T BE THAT BAD.

RIGHT, BUT IF I HAD KNOWN

YOU'D WANTED TO GO DANCING,

I COULD'VE PRACTICED A LITTLE.

I'M SURE THERE ARE SOME

VERY GOOD INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS

ON THE RHYTHMIC PATTERN

OF THE WALTZ AND, UH...

IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE

A LOT OF FUN.

COME ON.

ARE YOU SURE YOU WOULDN'T WAN TO TRY BOWLING INSTEAD?

BOWLING IS...

DON'T WORRY.

I'M SURE WE'LL AMAZE

THEM WITH OUR MOVES.

HERE COMES LOVE:

AND ALL OF THE JOY IT BRINGS

AND ALL OF THOSE

CRAZY THINGS I DO

FOR FALLING IN LOVE

WITH YOU:

HI. NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN!

I'M BEVERLY.

HAVE YOU BOTH COME

TO SIGN UP AS DANCE PARTNERS?

UH, I'M...

I'M WENDY,

AND THIS IS LOGAN,

MY, UM...

BOYFRIEND.

HI, BEVERLY.

NICE TO MEET YOU.

IS THIS A DANCE CLASS?

YES, IT IS A DANCE CLASS...

FOR THE RETIREMENT RESIDENTS.

WE'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR

YEARS. THEY JUST LOVE IT.

ESPECIALLY:

WHEN THEY GET TO DANCE

WITH SOME OF THE YOUNGER FOLKS,

LIKE THAT MR. AMORINI.

[]

THE WOMEN JUST ADORE HIM.

OH, "NATIONAL BIOLOGY WEEK!"

WILL YOU BE ATTENDING?

PERSONALLY,

I WOULDN'T MISS IT.

I HEAR THEY'RE GOING TO SE A RECORD

FOR THE MOST TREES PLANTED

IN LESS THAN A MINUTE.

YOU DON'T SAY!

SHOULD BE EXCITING.

YEAH!

EXCUSE ME.

LOGAN, THIS WAS

A BAD IDEA.

LET'S LEAVE.

WENDY!

YOU HERE TO DANCE?

YES... YES, WE ARE.

GREAT.

UH... MARCO, LOGAN.

LOGAN, MARCO.

AH, THE DIVORCE ATTORNEY/

FUTURE FATHER-IN-LAW.

WELL, YOU GO ONE OF THOSE PEGGED.

AND YOU ARE...?

BOYFRIEND.

AH.

-LOGAN, LET'S DANCE.

[BEVERLY]:

MARCO, MARCO...

YES?

YOUR NEXT DANCE PARTNER

IS WAITING.

OH, OF COURSE.

IT WAS NICE TO MEET YOU,

LOGAN...

WENDY...

ONE, TWO,

THREE, FOUR...

[GRUNT IN PAIN]

SORRY. I'M RUSTY.

IT'S OKAY. NO,

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, WENDY,

I'VE BEEN THINKING.

UM, YOU AND I HAVE BEEN DATING

FOR A WHILE NOW...

AND TO ME, IT JUS MAKES PERFECT SENSE

THAT WE SHOULD:

TAKE THIS... THIS "US"...

YOU KNOW, TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

AND, YOU KNOW, I JUST... OH!

ARE YOU OKAY?

I'M GOOD.

IT'S ALL RIGHT. REALLY.

YEAH. NO, IT'S FINE.

-I REALLY GOTCHA THERE.

-NO, IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY.

[MUSIC FINISHES WITH FLOURISH]

OH...

UH, LOGAN...

WOULD YOU GET ME

SOMETHING TO DRINK?

SURE.

OKAY.

[ROMANTIC JAZZ MUSIC PLAYS]

POSSO AVERE:

QUESTO BALLO?

YOU KNOW I CAN'T SPEAK ITALIAN.

AH...

IT'S THE LANGUAGE

OF LOVE.

IT MEANS,

"MAY I HAVE THIS DANCE?"

A DAY WITHOUT YOU

IS A DAY WITHOUT SUNSHINE

A NIGHT WITHOUT YOU

JUST A LITTLE BIT BLUE

YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE

LIKE THE SUN IN THE SKY

HEAVEN KNOWS WHY

I FEEL LIKE I DO

IT MAY BE YOUR EYES

MAY BE YOUR KISSES

YOU KNOW...

UM... WHEN YOU MENTIONED
