You can go get lunch

with the girls.

Thank you,

Thank you.

Hey, it was really

nice meeting you.

You've got like such a beautiful

pregnant glow and everything.

I want you to know the bloating

that's happening in your face,

I'm sure it'll go away.

Hey, happy birthday!

Thank you. Thanks.

You know, I've been

feeling guilty all day

because I couldn't call you.

That's okay.

Yeah,

yeah I guess it is.

I mean, since you have so much

more to feel guilty about.

Why are you standing all

the way over there?

Uh, I don't know.

Basic human survival

I would guess.

Am I supposed

to call you Daniel?

Look, I meant to tell you.

Is that little chipmunk

going to have your baby?

Jillian look, it's complicated.

No it is not complicated;

It's a very simple question.

I don't- How many

months is she?

She's just over five.

Our trial separation

started six months ago.

Were you with her while

we were together?

Dana was strictly

a rebound relationship.

Look, I want you to know I was

very depressed after you left.

Oh yeah, you were so

depressed that you-

you went and got the first

woman you met pregnant.

I don't even understand

what you're doing here.

I thought that you were

going to be in New York

doing an internship

for the summer.

Well, with the baby coming-

Oh, yeah I guess

with the baby coming.

Jillian, come on.

I don't understand.

Well Paula- we're staying

with Paula for the night

and we're flying to Hawaii

tomorrow because...

Dana's father,

he owns like a hotel.

It's like a whole

golf course thing,

on one of the smaller islands.

Jillian, Dana

and I are getting-

Well it's going to happen

whether I say it or not.

You're willing to ruin

your whole life,

Come on. I'm not going to

ruin my whole life

and please just stop

calling her that,

her name is Dana.

Who cares what her name is.

Do you think that we're going

to take vacations together

and become lifelong friends?

Well yeah, I hope

we can stay friends.

You can tell that

she's the kind of woman

that will never lose the weight

once she has this baby.

[Moans] It's like going to be

married to a bowling ball.

You're going to

pump out three more

before you even get

a second wind.

She's just going to wrap

you in her tentacles.

You just met her, you don't

know her at all.

I could say the same

thing about you.

No, no. It's just

not true, okay?

I've grown to love her.

You're lying.

Jillian, no.

Yeah, your left eye twitches

when you're lying.

That's not the best asset

for a trial lawyer to have.

Well, I'm not entirely sure

that I'm going to

finish law school now.

But that's exactly

what you're doing.

How do you think you're going

to provide for a family

without a law degree?

Dana's father, he wants me

to work at his hotel.

You're going to become

your father in laws caddy,

generally kiss his ass,

hoping that he leaves you

his kingdom when he dies.

I'm going to tell you

something, these people,

they never die.

Well, it's not like that.

I don't know- when were you

going to tell me any of this?

I mean, three weeks ago I was

talking to you on the phone

and you said you were

in New York looking at sublets.

I know, okay, yeah, that wasn't

entirely true and I'm sorry.

No, this conversation,

us meeting here is an accident.

If you hadn't accidently

stumbled by here

I still wouldn't know...

No, it's complicated.

No it's not complicated.

You were supposed

to be waiting for me.

You're a coward!

Jillian, enough, okay.

The world doesn't stop

when you want it to.

No, no, no. You decided

to leave law school.

Okay, you decided that we should

have a trial separation.

We only talk on the phone

when you feel like it.

The world just doesn't

work that way.

Well you should have

said something.

I am. This is it.

I'm saying it.

Dana and I, we're going

to Hawaii this weekend,

we're getting married

and in a couple of months

we're having our

first child Okay?

Danny!

Danny, no, wait, wait, wait.

Just stop.

No.

Come on, fine.

I mean, obviously

you already have.,

I got to go.

Oh my God, oh my God.

This is just like my father.

The second that my sister

graduates from high school

he leaves town, the obligation

to his family is done

and he goes

and marries some bimbo

that's a week and

a half older than me.

Let's not kid ourselves

about this whole thing.

You never really loved me

in that sort of way.

The 'til death do us part,

amen, that kind of way.

You know, I mean, even

if I came back to school

you were going to break up

with me sooner or later.

So, what do you want me to do?

You want me to leave

Dana and marry you?

I don't know. You can't- you

can't just ask me that.

I don't know what kind

of question is that?

It's a very simple question.

Take care Jillian.

Hey!

Hey!

Is the soap opera over yet?

Can I get some ice cream?

Hello?

# Her eyes won't weep no more

# I have tried, I have tried

Man:
What the hell's going on?

# But they did gush

like the rivers #

# and they dried up my insides

# Melancholy it would be like

sunshine to me here #

# I wonder if she's even

sad or if she's got a care #

Oh, oh dear,

you better Come in.

You look like you

were crying over a man.

Somebody break

your heart today?

I was- I was engaged

to a guy

and I just found out that he

got another woman pregnant

and that they're going

to Hawaii to get married.

And I found out by accident.

He was too afraid to tell me.

[ sighing ]

Are you in this movie?

But I keep the TV on Turner

Classic Movies all the time.

It's sort of like a high school

year book come alive.

Guess.

Is that you?

Yes.

You know, there was

a time in my life

where it was a joy to

wake up every morning

and run to the mirror.

Ah, where is he, wait.

This is my Ricardo.

You loved him?

Well, you know they had to

sedate me for a week

when I heard that he had been

killed in a knife fight.

What a silly old way

for a man to die-

before he was thirty years old.

But, I don't think we'd

be celebrating

our fiftieth anniversary.

We probably would have killed

each other eventually.

But that didn't mean

that I didn't love him

with all my heart.

Actually I was crying

because I can't believe

I was engaged to a guy

that I didn't love at all.

He was just a security blanket.

Well, people don't

like to be alone.

That's why I married

my second husband.

You didn't love him?

Not at all.

He was so angry.

You know, after five years

he told me that he was

actually gay.

Gay?

Well, did you get divorced?

Oh no, we got along

fine after that.

I stayed with him until he

died of a heart attack

twelve years later.

I'm so glad you came by.

Well, maybe I can come

see you again someday.

Well, don't wait too long

because I may not be here.

And when you do, could you

remind me who you are?

Of course.

Hey!

Hey.

Peter never showed up?

No he did, finally.

How did it go?

I thought we were all

going to have to get up
