Love, Rosie Page #5

I find funerals really difficult, Alex.

Ah, 'cause Rosie, I mean,

she's having a great time.

You know what? F*** you!

Please?

Thanks for turning up. We both

really appreciate your support.

Let's go, come on.

Rosie,

you deserve someone who loves

you with every beat of his heart,

someone who'll always be there for you,

and who'll love every part of you...

Mom! I'm not going without

my grey skinny jeans!

All right! I'll get them for you!

"Rosie, you deserve someone who... "

Anything for me?

Uh, yeah, just this one.

In France, the day before he died.

Oh, God, don't read that. What?

Well, it'll upset you.

I'm already upset.

Right.

Do you want me to stay?

Funnily enough, no.

Okay. Well, call me if

you need anything, okay?

Dear Rosie, I can't believe it.

Here I am at last, finally

walking the Mediterranean coast.

I've lost count of the years

I've waited for this moment.

Somehow life got in the way.

And it was all good, I

don't regret a minute of it,

but we forget our dreams at our peril.

I know you had yours, too,

and it must feel sometimes

like they're gone for good.

But I'm so proud of the

woman you've become, Rosie,

of the mother you've been to Katie.

What I once said about

you is still true,

there's nothing you can't do

if you put your mind to it.

So keep chasing those

dreams, will you, darling?

For my sake, Dad.

How can someone just

not be there anymore?

F*** knows.

At least he did everything he wanted.

He didn't forget his dreams.

What if I told you

I was gonna use my share

of the money from the house

and get myself a hotel?

Somewhere simple but...

But my own place.

I think that would be awesome, Mom.

Rosie, I understand that

you haven't been in touch.

And I just need to know one thing.

Are you happy with him?

There's not much I got right

in my life, but this family,

somehow we're making it work.

So I guess the one word answer

to your question should be,

"Yes. "

Hey! Hi.

So look at this. The Sweetlands Hotel.

That's where we had

our end of school dance!

Ah. They just joined our group.

And I was just checking for discounts,

and I found this booking...

That's Greg's name!

The bridal suite, for

this weekend! Mm-hmm.

He's already up there on business.

Do you think... For our anniversary?

Oh!

It's him. Mmm.

Hey!

Uh, listen, I'm gonna have to

stay here a few extra nights,

the guys need me to check

out some more venues.

Um, can you take Katie

and go to your mom's,

and then I can swing by

on Sunday and pick you up?

Babe?

Fine.

Cool, see you later, then.

Talk later. Bye.

Check the booking.

Here it is. Bridal suite for two,

checked in two hours ago...

Oh, Rosie, I'm...

Rosie! Rosie? What are you going to say?

F***!

"Rosie,

"you deserve someone who loves

you with every beat of his heart.

"Someone who will

always be there for you,

"and who will love every part

of you, especially your flaws.

"I know Katie needs her

dad. I don't want to intrude.

"So if this is all wrong, just ignore it

"and I promise I'll never

broach the subject again.

"Greg's not the man for you, Rosie.

"Twice I've let you

slip through my fingers.

"Let's stop being afraid

and take the chance.

"I know now I can make you happy.

"Call me if you feel the same way.

"Love, Alex. "

Bethany?

What are you doing there?

I live here now. I moved in.

Look who it is, Mr. Schnuffs!

Mr. Schnuffs?

Rosie?

Uh...

Hey... Baby, that thing we

were talking about earlier.

- Yeah.

- Ask her now.

Schnuffie...

Um...

Bethany and me,

Uh, we thought, why

hang around, you know,

um, so, she started

organizing the whole thing,

but then Phil said no, so

your name came up, obviously.

We're getting married!

It's fast, but we need to fit it

in before New York Fashion Week.

And you have to be our best man!

I mean, you are a girl but... Right?

This is all because of you,

Rosie. You told me to come here.

It wouldn't have happened if

it wasn't for you! Thank you!

Hmm.

It is so great having you as a friend.

I mean, every time something

goes wrong in my life,

all I got to do is look at yours

and it puts everything into perspective.

He proposed to her on a boat.

It's like Kate and Leonardo

in that scene on the deck.

The Titanic. Mm-hmm.

How appropriate.

Look, Alex is yours, he always has been.

This is just proof of ownership.

He wrote that months ago!

And anyway he's my best friend! No!

I'm your best friend! Get it yet?

We just keep missing each other.

Maybe we're just not meant to be.

Right. Let me just try and explain this

in a language you might understand.

Ship. Iceberg.

Ship hits iceberg.

Mayhem, horror, ocean of ice

and then Alex on the last lifeboat.

One space left. Is it Bethany?

Or Rosie?

Who's it going to be?

What? You're immigrating now?

Less time, more outfits.

You're paying excess.

I couldn't leave her behind and

wherever Katie goes, Toby goes.

Oh, are you two an item now?

No way. We're friends.

No way. We're friends.

God give me strength.

Well, come on, we're really late. Relax.

I hate arriving early,

and besides, we have a five or

six hour cushion on the other side.

Um, sorry, what's

going on? Volcanic ash.

I need to go to Boston!

I'm afraid it's a

five to six hour delay.

I think your cushion just burst.

Slow down! I'm not wearing a sports bra!

Okay, you guys, get your stuff!

Katie move it!

I'm coming, I'm coming!

Ruby, come on!

Mom!

And you thought the flight was rough.

You'll have to get dressed

in the van! We are so late!

Excuse me?

You get everything the

wrong way round over here.

And you are? Ruby.

A pleasure to meet you, Ruby.

Likewise.

Will you marry me?

Yeah.

What? That's not... That's not fair!

That's not... It can't

be that easy, it's not...

I think she wants all the

women around her to look fat.

Well, it works.

No, no, you don't know how hard it is.

Final word of warning.

Alex can hold his drink

to an almost lethal degree,

as I discovered on my 18th birthday,

when he decided a night of

tequila slammers was the way to go.

Whoo!

Well, you know when people

say that they were so drunk,

that the whole night is a blank

and you always go, "No

way, not possible. "

Well, believe me, it's possible.

Choosing a...

Choosing the person that you

want to share your life with

is one of the most important

decisions any of us makes,

ever.

Because when it's wrong,

it turns your life to grey.

And sometimes...

Sometimes you don't even notice

until you wake up one morning

and realize years have gone by.

We both know about that one, Alex.

Your friendship has brought

glorious Technicolor to my life.

It's been there even

in the darkest of times.

And I am the luckiest

person alive for that gift.

I hope I didn't take it for granted.

I think maybe I did.

Because sometimes you don't see

that the best thing

that's ever happened to you

is sitting there, right under your nose.

But that's fine, too.
