Yeah, well...

[Melody] What's the matter?

I'm not so sure I did lose that bet.

You're walking down the

street, you round the corner,

at exactly the right moment,

and you meet, for no

reason, by sheer chance

the person you'll spend

the rest of your life with.

Why that corner, why that moment?

It isn't by chance, there is a reason,

that wasn't a crazy bet,

that was life saying,

come on in Laura Lansing,

join the human race.

Oh Laura.

So, if you don't mind, I uh,

I won't say goodbye, I can't.

I'll just say, I love you

and I'll see you soon.

I'll miss you.

I'm gonna win a race for you.

(serene music)

Eat your breakfast.

(calming music)

Bye!

[Group] Bye, bye bye!

Isn't she something?

They're great aren't they?

Laura, about the bet.

Oh I'll tell you something

Larry, bet or no bet,

I'm gonna write something that

will knock your socks off.

Well I thought you might.

And don't forget my 10%.

I'm visiting today in the

home of our literary greats.

Laura Lansing has been on

the top best seller list

for weeks no, and Laura the critics

are calling Suburban Serenade a classic.

You've captured the heart of

America, how did you do it?

Well, first I have to ask you,

have you ever been to Hicksville?

[Interviewer] Hicksville,

I can't say that I have.

[Laura] Don't have to, because

I have been to Hicksville.

(cheering)

And my trip to Hicksville,

was really responsible

for this book, (mumbling) in my life.

(cheerful music)

(friendly upbeat music)
