l mean, but l can't, you know. l'm sorry.

''l just can't,'' she says mysteriously.

But l just can't.

-l'm sorry. Thank you for the offer.

-Yes.

Oh, my God.

Go to the next level, weirdo.

You have to go to the next level.

lt's your parents. Go get into bed.

Get into bed. This is not a drill.

-But we haven't even brushed our teeth.

-Get in there. Get in there. Get into bed.

-Hey.

-Hi.

-How was the movie?

-l enjoyed it.

-He fell asleep.

-l enjoy sleeping.

-How was dinner?

-Really nice place.

lt's really hard to enjoy dinner

when you run a weight-loss center.

-lf l get fat, there goes my fiscal year.

-Honey, you're not fat.

You're not about to open a branch in Boca.

But thank you, sweetie.

-How'd everything go here?

-Oh, yeah. Good. Great.

The kids ate and went to sleep.

Yeah, it-- They're really bad children.

Okay, okay. Everybody goes to bed.

l'm sending your father in there.

Whoa, we're so scared.

And then l'm coming in.

l'll just go check

to make sure they're still breathing.

Hey, wanna do some stress eating?

Just a piece of diet cheesecake.

This thing happened to me today--

l don't know. l'm just gonna go home.

You seem so jumpy tonight.

You know, l feel a little guilty

about something.

How unusual for you.

Okay, listen. l have to tell you.

l met that guy from that band

you used to like. Alex Fletcher from PoP?

Oh, my God.

Anyway, l do Jane's plant service.

l'm taking over for her while she's gone.

And anyway, she does his apartment,

so l was there.

Actually, it was the second time.

And he invited me

to come see him perform tonight.

Gary, l'm going out!

Oh, my God. l love him. l love him.

l love him. l love him.

-That really wasn't the end of the story.

-Come on. Help me dress.

Should l wear the red one?

I saw you across the dance floor

Out of the corner of my eye

I felt a connection

I don't know how, I don't know why

I shouldn't have stayed

When I saw you there

With another man

Nut as we slipped away

I thought I heard you say:

''This wasn't part of the plan ''

Just a meaningless kiss

It wasn't supposed to end up like this

Just a meaningless kiss

Just a meaningless kiss

We knew it was wrong

Nut we couldn't resist

Just a meaningless kiss

'Till I fell in love with you

Girls, tell me the truth.

Are these pants too tight?

Oh, my God, l gotta get up there.

And here we are two years later

Too late to turn back now

We've gotta finish

What we shouldn't have started

We gotta walk away somehow

Nut it's easier said than done

When two hearts beat as one

And three hearts are one too many

That's why we shouldn't have ever begun

Just a meaningless kiss

We knew it was wrong

Nut we couldn't resist

Just a meaningless kiss

'Till I fell in love with you

We can't go on like this forever

When we're not meant to be together

So leave me here on my own

From now on I guess

I've gotta dance alone

It wasn't supposed to end up like this

-Alex!

-Alex!

-Hello, girls.

-Alex, l'm Barbara.

ln Boston, in 1 989,

l came back to your hotel....

lf you wanna see Alex again,

check his website for the tour schedule.

And the Knott's Berry Farm show

is temporarily postponed, okay?

Great show, huh? They love you.

They're hot for you.

Of course, they're also hot because

so many are going through menopause.

Wait a minute.

Barbara from Boston. From Boston.

l do remember that Barbara. l do.

l'm going back for one second.

No. That's how we wind up

getting chased by angry husbands.

-Not necessarily. She--

-Hi.

Well, hi.

Hello. Hello, hello. Very good news. Yes.

Chris, you remember Sophie?

Planted in my memory.

l just wanted to apologize

for being so cryptic earlier.

-This is my sister, Rhonda.

-Hi.

l'm sorry. l've--

You were so great tonight.

We've met, haven't we? Right?

We were practically a duet there.

l know. Anyway,

could l get a quick autograph?

You may, Rhonda.

-Could l get a picture too?

-Only if you're single.

l've been married 1 6 years,

but nothing's written in stone.

Could you scootch? Thanks.

Also, l really wanted to thank you

for your offer.

-What offer?

-While Greg, the rhyming psychopath--

Thanks again for him.

--was in my apartment, Sophie spouted

some really interesting lyrics.

l thought she was doing plants.

l'm holding a pose here.

-l appreciate it--

-l need a song by Friday...

...and it is amazingly difficult

to find a sane lyricist.

Why don't you just

write the lyrics yourself?

-That's really not a strength of his.

-That's absolutely right.

l once rhymed ''you and me''

with ''autopsy.''

Well, that's not necessarily bad.

You could do something with that.

You know?

Figuring out you and me

Is like doing a love autopsy

-You see, you see. That's quite good.

-That's not bad.

-Go on. More. How does it go?

-l have no idea.

Someone could have sculpted us

in this time.

You know what? Let me take it.

They could operate all day long

And never figure out what went wrong

My God, you are--

You are Cole Porter in panties.

Of course, having said that,

Cole Porter probably did wear panties.

Anyway, thank you for inviting us.

Okay, l'm just gonna take a real quick one.

Let me take it. Let me take it, Sophie.

-Thank you so much. That was great.

-Hang on.

Nice to meet you guys. Bye-bye.

So this is where Sophie works, eh?

Yeah. She is gonna be right out.

Excellent. Excellent.

Thank you very much.

So how much do you weigh?

l fluctuate. Yeah.

Okay, look, l am terribly sorry

to barge in like this...

...but l have decided

l cannot take no for an answer.

-l told you that--

-You're not a writer.

Except when you are writing poems

and short stories...

...in the New School literary magazine.

l Googled you. And you were good.

Look, l'm flattered.

l mean, you're one of six people

in the world who's actually read those...

...but that doesn't mean

l can write a song.

You already did.

Five minutes, that's all l ask.

Please, step in. You'll enjoy this.

This is a treat.

Mr. Fletcher. Nice to see you.

-Very nice to see you, Mia, how are you?

-Wonderful.

l just want to get--

Can l try the new Mason & Hamlin?

-Sure, absolutely. Be my guest.

-Thank you very much. Thanks. Please.

This is-- lt's just a little something

that you might possibly recognize.

Figuring out you and me

Is like doing a love autopsy

They could operate all day long

And never figure out what went wrong

Love autopsy

Love autopsy

What went wrong?

God. That melody is so beautiful.

But l've never written a song.

A song. l know, l know.

And if l'm wrong, l'm wrong.

l just don't think l am.

l think you may be a born lyricist.

We don't have very long,

but what l'd like to do, in an ideal world...

...is continue the ''Autopsy'' song.

But l think it's gonna be very hard

to get back from there...

...into ''Way Back lnto Love,''

which is the title that Cora demands.

What we could do is continue

with Greg ''the Angel of Death's'' version.
