FROM GETTING TO ZENO'S.

NON ANCORA...

WHAT HAPPENED?

JUST CALL HER!

I'LL MEET YOU THERE.

[COLLIN AND EMILY LAUGH]

SO WHAT ABOUT YOU?

HAVE YOU FOUND ANYONE?

ACTUALLY, I HAVE.

HER NAME'S SOPHIA.

IN FACT...

WE'RE ENGAGED.

WOW...

THAT'S REALLY...

THAT'S REALLY GREAT, COLLIN.

I KNOW:

IT DIDN'T WORK OUT FOR US,

BUT I KNOW NOW:

IT WAS FOR THE BEST.

HOW DOES YOUR MOM FEEL?

SHE'S NOT TAKING IT TOO WELL.

[LAUGHING]

YOU KNOW, COLLIN,

I HOPE:

THIS SOPHIA'S GOOD TO YOU...

BECAUSE YOU DESERVE THE BEST.

THANK YOU.

SO DO YOU.

[PHONE RINGS]

THANK YOU.

SOPHIA!

[WENDY]:
SOPHIA, WAIT.

I PROMISE,

THIS IS NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.

SOPHIA, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING

TO SEE YOUR MOTHER.

YEAH, I'M SURE YOU DID.

EXCUSE ME?

NO, THIS IS ALL

MY FAULT.

I SHOULD NEVER:

HAVE LET THIS HAPPEN.

LET WHAT HAPPEN?

ARE YOU EVEN READY

FOR THIS COMMITMENT?

ARE YOU, COLLIN?

BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT?

MAYBE MY FATHER IS RIGHT.

WHAT IS THA SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

SOPHIA, WHAT'S GOING ON?

WHY AREN'T YOU

AT YOUR MOTHER'S?

JUST LEAVE ME ALONE, DAD!

I THINK I'M

JUST GONNA GO.

MOM, WHAT DID YOU DO?

COLLIN, I...

HEY, LISTEN TO ME.

WOULD YOU JUST LISTEN TO ME?

LEAVE ME ALONE, DAD.

SOPHIA!

DO SOMETHING!

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?

I DON'T EVEN KNOW

WHAT'S GOING ON!

THIS WHOLE THING

IS A MESS.

[MUTTERS IN ITALIAN]

I FEEL TERRIBLE.

THEY'RE MAKING

BAD DECISIONS...

DECISIONS THEY'LL

LATER REGRET.

WHAT, LIKE...

OPENING A DIVORCE PRACTICE

RIGHT NEXT TO A WEDDING PLANNER?

LOOK...

EVERYTHING'S

GONNA BE OKAY.

WE'RE ALL

GONNA BE OKAY.

WE ARE?

BECAUSE I REALLY DON'T FEEL

THAT WAY RIGHT NOW.

LOOK, UM...

JUST DON'T WORRY.

I'LL START LOOKING

FOR A NEW OFFICE TO LEASE,

IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT.

YEAH.

IT'S PROBABLY BETTER THAT WAY.

I SHOULD GO TALK TO COLLIN.

COLLIN, I AM SO, SO SORRY.

WHAT HAPPENED AT ZENO'S

WAS A MISTAKE.

I NEVER MEANT FOR...

MOM...

YOU'VE BEEN AGAINST US

GETTING MARRIED:

FROM THE START.

OH, HONEY...

I WAS JUST TRYING

TO PROTECT YOU.

PROTECT ME FROM WHAT?

LOVE? HAPPINESS?

BECAUSE THAT'S WHA SOPHIA WAS FOR ME...

IS FOR ME.

I JUST GOT SCARED.

SEEING YOU SO, SO CHANGED,

AND EVERYTHING WAS HAPPENING

SO FAST.

I...

I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO SEE YOU

GETTING HURT.

EVER SINCE DAD DIED,

YOU'VE LIVED YOUR LIFE

LIKE YOU'RE TRYING TO PROTEC YOURSELF FROM LOVE.

I KNOW IT HURTS.

I WAS THERE.

IT HURT ME, TOO.

BUT I'M NOT GONNA LIVE

MY LIFE LIKE THAT.

I CAN'T.

HE'S RIGHT, YOU KNOW.

BECAUSE FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS,

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO

DO THE SAME THING.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

AFTER YOUR MOM DIED,

I DIDN'T THINK I COULD EVER

OPEN UP MY HEART AGAIN.

AND EVERY TIME:

I FELT I MIGHT,

I RAN AWAY...

MORE TIMES:

THAN YOU OR I COULD COUNT.

I KNOW YOU JUST THOUGHT I WAS

BEING FOOTLOOSE AND FANCY FREE,

BUT... I WAS SCARED.

JUST LIKE YOU.

SO THAT'S WHY THERE WERE

SO MANY GIRLFRIENDS.

YEAH.

WENDY...

I'D BEEN LIVING MY LIFE

AFRAID TO GET HURT ALSO...

BUT A LIFE WITHOUT LOVE

IS NO LIFE AT ALL,

AND IT SURE ISN' THE LIFE I WANT FOR YOU.

DON'T BE AFRAID.

WHAT HAVE I DONE?

AW...

NOTHING THAT CAN'T BE FIXED.

[KNOCKING AT DOOR]

LOGAN.

OF COURSE.

GAME NIGHT, RIGHT?

IT IS,

BUT, ACTUALLY, I HAVE

SOMETHING BETTER PLANNED.

REALLY?

OKAY!

WHAT'S THAT?

THIS.

OH, LOGAN, I...

NOW, I HAVE THE RECEIP IN CASE YOU DON'T LIKE IT.

I KNOW IT MAY SEEM IMPULSIVE,

BUT IF YOU THINK

ABOUT IT,

WE HAVE BEEN DATING

FOR A WHILE,

AND IT MAKES:

PERFECT SENSE TO ME

THAT YOU AND I SHOULD TAKE THIS,

"US," TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

NOW, I AM GONNA BE

COLLECTING:

A REALLY GREAT PENSION

IN A FEW YEARS...

LOGAN...

WE NEED TO TALK.

LOOKS LIKE NEITHER ONE OF US

GOT MUCH SLEEP LAST NIGHT.

I MEAN...

HOW COULD I?

WHAT WITH SOPHIA CRYING

ALL NIGHT?

LOOK, I KNOW WE THOUGH WE WERE DOING THE RIGHT THING,

BUT WE WERE WRONG.

I MEAN, SO WHA IF THEY PICK A ROAD

WE THINK:

IS GONNA BE TOO HARD?

IT'S NOT LIKE

THEY DON'T BELONG TOGETHER.

IF THEY WANT TO MILK COWS,

LET THEM MILK COWS.

THEY'RE IN LOVE...

AND MAYBE LOVE MAKES YOU

DO CRAZY THINGS,

BUT THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING

AND WHAT THEY WANT.

WHEN DENNIS AND I GOT MARRIED,

WE DIDN'T KNOW!

WENDY, WENDY...

I AGREE.

WE NEED TO FIX THIS.

OKAY.

WELL, GOOD!

THEN LET'S TALK TO SOPHIA

AND FIX THIS.

SHE SAID SHE WAS GOING

FOR A WALK IN THE PARK.

THEN LET'S GO.

ALLOW ME.

THANK YOU.

WHAT ARE THEY SAYING?

I DON'T KNOW.

OH...

THANK GOD.

WHAT A RELIEF!

OW!

[SOCCER PLAYER]:

OOPS! SORRY!

MOM?

DAD?

HI.

WE JUST WANTED:

TO MAKE THINGS RIGH AND SAY HOW SORRY

WE ARE FOR EVERYTHING.

UM, YEAH,

WE WERE JUST DOING

WHAT WE THOUGH WAS BEST FOR YOU.

DAD, I'M NOT ONE

OF YOUR CLIENTS:

YOU CAN JUST "MANAGE."

I GET IT, YOU THINK

THIS WHOLE THING IS A MISTAKE,

BUT IT'S OUR LIFE,

AND WE'RE GOING TO GET MARRIED,

WITH OR WITHOUT YOUR BLESSING.

SOPHIA, I WAS JUS TRYING TO PROTECT YOU.

DAD, DON'T, OKAY?

YOU CAN'T KEEP PROTECTING ME

JUST BECAUSE MOM LEFT US.

IF YOU WANT TO KEEP

TELLING YOURSELF

THAT IT'S BETTER TO BE ALONE,

THEN GO AHEAD.

BUT THAT'S NO THE LIFE I WANT...

IT'S NOT THE LIFE

WE WANT.

[COLLIN]:
NOW WE'RE GOING

TO GET OUR MARRIAGE LICENSE

AND WE'RE PUTTING A DOWN PAYMEN ON THE FARM

AND THAT'S IT.

THERE'S NO MORE INTERFERING

OR TRYING TO STOP US.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

WELL, WE CERTAINLY

MESSED THAT UP.

YOU'RE NOT KIDDING.

WE'LL BE LUCKY

IF WE EVEN GE INVITED TO THE WEDDING.

THAT'S IT!

THAT'S HOW WE MAKE

THINGS RIGHT!

WHAT BETTER WAY:

TO SHOW OUR SUPPOR THAN THROW THEM

THE WEDDING OF THEIR DREAMS?

YOU WANNA THROW:

THEM A WEDDING?

I MEAN, IT'S NOT EXACTLY

MY FIELD OF EXPERTISE.

DON'T WORRY, IT'S MINE.

ARE YOU IN?

YOU BET I'M IN.

[PHONE RINGS]

HELLO?

[WENDY]:
MARIANNE?

WOULD YOU AND CLIFF BE OKAY

IF WE USED THE FARM

AS A LOCATION:

FOR THE KIDS' WEDDING?

AND IT'S TOMORROW.

WOULD THAT BE OKAY?

AH...

HAVE THE WEDDING HERE?

OF COURSE.

WE'D LOVE THAT!

OH, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[DIALS]

OH, ROSEANNE,

I'M SO GLAD I CAUGHT YOU.

OKAY, I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME

TO EXPLAIN,

BUT COLLIN AND SOPHIA

ARE GETTING MARRIED TOMORROW.

[ROSEANNE]:
WHAT?

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

THEY'RE GETTING MARRIED

TOMORROW?

WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?

ARE THEY GOING TO LAS VEGAS?

NO. NO, NO, NO,

BUT MARCO AND I:

ARE SURPRISING THEM

WITH THEIR DREAM WEDDING

AT THE FARM.

HMM, SINCE WHEN DID

YOU AND MR. GORGEOUS MAKE UP

AND BECOME CUPID-IN-LAWS?

OKAY, LOOK, I DON'T HAVE TIME

TO EXPLAIN EVERYTHING.

JUST GO WITH ME ON THIS.

WE'RE GONNA NEED

AT LEAST 20 CHAIRS,

A COUPLE OF FOLD-OUT TABLES,

AND LET'S JUST GO

WITH THE DECORATIONS

FROM THE McDOUGAL WEDDING.

YOU MEAN THE WEDDING

THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN?

WHAT ABOUT CAKE AND FLOWERS?

MARCO AND I HAVE THE CAKE

AND FLOWERS COVERED.

THANKS, ROSEANNE.

I'LL SEE YOU IN THE MORNING

AT THE FARM.

I LOVE COLLIN,

BUT YOU KNOW YOU'RE GIVING ME

A RAISE FOR ALL OF THIS.

I KNOW.

OKAY. SEE YOU IN THE MORNING.

LOGAN! HI!

HI.

HOW ARE YOU?

I'M... GOOD.

MAY I?

YES, OF COURSE! PLEASE!
