Harper.

Reaction.

What kind of reaction?

Are you sick?

I am definitely feeling

very strange right now.

You should go

to the doctor.

Amanda, I am fine.

I'm fine. I just-

I need you to figure out

where this stuff came from.

I'll see what I can do, but you need

to come home right now. We need to find

A replacement

for mirabella today.

Yeah. I came here

to convince mirabella

That marco is not worth

giving up her career for.

And now I know

how to prove it.

What are you going to do?

I'm going to seduce marco.

You're going to seduce

the playboy prince?

I'm going to show her that lover boy

here isn't cut out to keep promises.

Just find out what you can

about that tonic

And call me back.

Excuse me, sir.

I'll have you know that

I'm an almost-married woman.

Oh, that's all right,

I'm an almost-married man.

And this is how you choose to spend

your last few precious hours of freedom?

Hours?

I only need five minutes.

Ew!

( both laughing )

What do we have here?

Put that down!

No, no!

In a marriage

there are no secrets.

We're not married yet!

Not for a couple of days.

So we do have secrets!

You started your novel?

No!

Oh, great!

Like father, like daughter.

No!

He's not a novelist. He teaches

comparative literature at nyu.

Besides, I'm gonna stay in bed with

you all day and have six kids. Stop!

They're my vows.

Sorry. Sorry.

Hmm. So...

How are yours coming along?

Great!

I mean, that's really

important to you, right?

That we both

write our own?

Yes. It's very important.

It's the most important.

It's the one chance we have to

stand up in front of everybody

And say how we really feel about

each other, speak from our hearts.

And I do love you

with all my heart.

Me too.

I wanna tell you

but there's

so many words to say

I wanna tell you

but the words get in my way

it's all there

on the tip of your tongue

my heart's so full,

brain goes numb

so I'll just ask you,

do you? I do

me too

so I'll just ask you

do you? I do

me too

wish I could tell you

that you make me

feel like I shine

and I'm so proud to be

yours and to call you mine

it's all there in

the beat of my heart

just open your mouth

and start

so I'll just ask you,

do you? I do

me too

so I'll just ask you

do you? I do

( knocking on door )

Noelle:
Mirabella?

Come in!

Seating emergency.

Total disaster. Come quick.

Just a minute.

I'm gonna change.

Sorry, duty calls.

Noelle:

I don't know what to do.

I don't even know

who this person is.

Young harper:

Am I in the right place?

Surprise!

And-and you are?

You don't remember me?

Debbie hayworth.

Second cousin once removed.

Aunt marjorie's side?

Ohh. Okay,

Your grandmother

and my great-uncle-

I'm sorry,

too many details.

You must be on

my mother's list.

We played together

all the time as kids.

Remember the treehouse uncle eddie

built in the back of the barn?

Of-of course!

The old treehouse!

God, it's been forever.

You look so...

So much like my mother

when she was young.

Really?

Yeah, the spitting image. It's weird.

It's really weird.

Aunt marjorie always said the

same thing. And-and I said,

"well, if I have to

look like somebody,

I'm so glad

it's aunt harper."

I mean, is she just

a timeless beauty, or what?

And-and so talented.

Aunt marjorie always

called her "superstar."

I really hate to break up

the family reunion,

But we have a rehearsal

dinner nightmare on our hands.

See? Oh, gosh, these

italian family feuds.

They last for 700 years.

And I don't know where I'm gonna

put my great-aunt birdie.

She came in

all the way from boston.

Interesting color scheme.

Is that...Puce?

Bold choice.

I thought your mom said

you were going with

Dusky rose

and gold accents.

No, that's what her mom

wanted her to go with.

Pink and gold are classics.

Old-fashioned.

Tasteful.

Boring.

Oh, my gosh!

Debbie, you fixed it! Thank you!

Oh! You have got to come

to my bachelorette party.

Bachelorette party?

Oh, yeah, we're family.

You have to come.

We have champagne and

mani-pedi's. Mani-pedi's.

Yay!

Yay!

Well, I'll get

settled in, then.

Okay. All right. All right.

We'll see you

for mani-pedi's.

All:
Mani-pedi's!

Amanda!

The tonic.

What have you got?

We have a bigger problem.

I spoke to the investors.

Amanda, the tonic.

Harper, this is serious.

You need to come home

right now. I can't do this.

I am in a situation here,

amanda. I need information.

What kind of situation?

How crazy

Is it over there?

( camera snaps )

I'd say it's getting

pretty crazy, don't you think?

Who's that?

She looks familiar.

Are you in my office?

What?

Look around.

( sighs )

Aaaaah!

Amanda!

Amanda.

Amanda?

Who is this?

It's me, amanda!

Now focus! The tonic!

No, you're not.

That is impossible.

You have worked

for me for 15 years.

We have mounted

22 productions together,

and turned

Three unknowns

into broadway stars.

And help me figure out what is in

this tonic that turned me young,

I will fire you

without hesitation or regret!

Now pull yourself together!

Oh, my god. It is you.

Thank you.

What have you got?

Um...

Oh, god. The stuff

is really old, harper.

It was used for

Rheumatism, gout, um...

Melancholia, and impotence.

What about side effects?

Well, I've already

looked online.

The company's been out

of business for decades.

Find out:
Does it wear off, and if so,

can I take more. You got it? Find out.

( exhales )

The things I do

for my daughter.

Hi.

Hello.

Debbie hayworth.

Marco vitturi.

You must be related to

mirabella. You look like her.

She looks like me.

We're second cousins.

Once removed.

Aunt marjorie's side.

Right. Listen to this.

"dear mirabella,

"you are so beautiful.

"I want to never sleep

or even blink again

"just so I can stare at

your beautifulness forever...

Until I die."

Too over the top?

Wow. That is, um...

Yeah, that's really bad.

It's terrible.

But it was mirabella's idea for us

to write our own vows for the wedding,

And...I don't know,

I have no idea

what I'm gonna say.

Looks to me like you can't

stop figuring out what to say.

True enough.

Love can make you

a little crazy sometimes.

That's not your reputation,

you know.

Yeah. I know.

Must be really hard

to give that up.

Not really.

Mirabella must be very

special to you. Oh, she is.

She has this-

I mean, she's so-

When we first met,

I was like-

Oh, god.

She's-everything.

So it's kind of hard,

you know, to-

She has the most

beautiful blue eyes.

Yeah. Yeah, she got those from her dad.

And this beautiful smile where one

side of her mouth kind of turns up-

Kind of like yours.

Think she's got a secret?

Yeah, right.

Something, uh...Secret.

Oh, and she-she has

these beautiful hands.

Oh, dancer's hands.

You're...A dancer too?

Runs in the family.

I'm-I'm sorry, have-

have we met before?

Not in this lifetime.

Are you sure? Because-

oh, I'm sure.

You would definitely

remember meeting me.
