All right, thanks.

You're a sweetheart.

I know this. I know this.

Eh, sweetheart. I know, I know, I know.

- Happy New Year.

- Happy New Year.

- You look great.

- Thanks.

- How you feeling?

- Uh, good. Balloons make me happy.

- Oh, wait, pictures.

- What?

Step right over here. Pictures,

everyone has to have a picture.

Okay.

- Hmm, that's good.

- Oh, my God.

- Now put your arm around her.

- Okay.

- Okay, ready?

- Yeah.

Okay, great.

- Terrific.

- Thanks.

- Thank you very much.

- Happy New Year.

- That'll be a dollar.

- What?

Dollar.

Thank you.

- Oh, it's terrible.

- Come on, come here.

- No, I take bad pictures.

- No, no, I've take worse. Come on.

Oh, you look good. I look... funny.

Ugh.

- You want something to drink?

- Yeah.

Can we get two, please?

Thank you.

Happy New Year.

Beats sitting at home

watching it on TV, huh?

- Come on, let's dance.

- No, I can't, sorry. I don't know how.

- Sorry.

- What do you mean?

- I can't dance.

- I don't care if you're a good dancer.

I can't... no, I can't.

No, but I can't dance at all.

I don't want to dance.

Please don't make me, okay?

I don't...

All right, how do we start?

Um, take a step.

- Take another step.

- Okay.

Take another step.

- What's the matter?

- You're dancing.

No, I'm not. This is dancing?

Well, it is. Look what they're doing.

- They're laughing at me.

- No, they're not.

Thank you.

- Uh...

- What? What's the matter?

It's... no, it's good. You just

seem a little tense to me.

Oh, all right. I'll loosen it up.

You're doing great.

Wonderful.

Okay, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

Let's dance.

It's a beautiful night, isn't it?

Sure is. Look at the stars.

There's the Big Dipper.

- Where?

- Right there.

That's not the Big Dipper.

That's the Little Dipper.

No, it's not. It's the Big Dipper.

- No, it's the Little Dipper.

- No, no, no, you're wrong.

It is the Little Dipper.

You're wrong.

Okay, it's the Big Dipper.

Here, make a wish.

What'd you wish?

- I'm not telling.

- Why not?

- 'Cause it won't come true.

- Come on, tell me what you wished.

- Forget it.

- Just tell me what you wished, all right?

It's not a big deal.

You know that wish I made outside?

It just came true.

Okay, it's that time.

It's about 30 seconds till midnight,

so go grab your partners, go get

your hats and your noisemakers,

and let's count down!

Hats, we need hats.

I'll be right back.

Cliff, I thought about what you said

and I do want to spend my life with you.

Let's start the year off together.

Happy New Year!

- Oh, it's so hot.

- I know.

- All these people.

- I know, just think of something else.

Excuse me, sorry.

Look, Mia Farrow.

Right there, Mia Farrow.

Cliff, I'm not stupid.

I know who Mia Farrow is.

That's not Mia Farrow.

No, I know. It's a game, honey.

- Excuse me.

- I'm sorry.

Excuse me.

Oh, hello.

- I hate coach.

- Son, please.

I know, I've given the flight

attendant my credit card.

- She's checking on the first class.

- Mr. Godfrey?

Will you please stop that, young man?

- Yes.

- There are seats available.

Oh, wonderful, thank you.

But your credit card

will only cover one upgrade.

Oh, well, thank you anyway.

Where are you going?

First class, silly.

It's okay, I'll just be nearby.

I'll bring you back some free stuff.

Remember what I said

about the Mile High Club?

Ladies and gentlemen, this

is American Airlines flight 861,

nonstop service to Chicago.

If this is not your destination,

now would be a good time

to leave the plane.

Flight attendants,

cross-check and prepare for departure.

Here you go. And one for you.

Can I get you anything?

Um, excuse me.

Do you know where the gentleman

who was sitting there is?

Why, yes. He got off at the airport.

Just been dumped, huh?

Me, too. It's a b*tch.

You know, nursing a broken heart

is something I highly

recommend doing in pairs.

I can't believe he left me.

Say, those are some very

nice earrings you have on.

Yeah.

I'm into precious gems.

It's what I do. Diamonds, mostly.

- Diamonds?

- Yeah.

Excuse me.

Certainly.

Ahem.

You know, my friends call me Scooter.

- Scooter?

- Yeah.

It's a funny story how I got the name.

I used to have one.

Tell me about the diamonds again.

Well, you know, they come in many shapes.

Clare?

Clare?

Clare, I know you're in there.

Please... please open the door.

Look, what can I say?

I'm sorry about last night. Because I am.

I have no excuses.

I deserve whatever I get.

Amanda and I, we split up.

I know you've heard it before,

but this time I left her for good.

I mean, she's on a plane

back to Chicago now.

I had to come back. Clare...

I just wanted a chance. Please, I...

I want us to be together.

Just try, please.

Open the door, please.

The woman who stays

in the room, where is she?

She checked out.

Are you okay?

Yeah, thanks.

You'll be all right.

May I see your tickets?

I'll just check on those accommodations.

Excuse me, is Clare working today?

I'm sorry, she's not

working here anymore.

- What?

- Let me get you a brochure.

I see, well, is there any way that

I could get in touch with her?

- I wouldn't know.

- Just a telephone number, an address,

anything like that would be a

great help, if you could, please.

We don't have that kind

of information here.

-I see. -And even if I did,

I couldn't give it to you.

Yes, I understand, but I tried...

she's not listed in the phone book.

Any help that you could give me,

- I would really appreciate it, please?

- Look, I'm sorry, I can't-

I need to get in touch with her.

I'm sorry to be rude, but

please, can you please help me?

There's really nothing I can do.

Let me check those flights.

Here's my card.

If anything changes, Cliff Godfrey, okay?

Hey, buddy. Welcome home.

Sorry I didn't get right

back to you last night,

-but we had the tradition of taking

down the tree... - It's all right.

- It's all right, Marty. - ...and if Rhonda

doesn't break at least one ornament,

- she's not happy.

- Marty!

Sorry.

- What's the matter?

- Nothing.

Doesn't matter.

All my life, I'm waiting

for the right girl to come along

and when she finally does,

I don't even notice her.

Then I notice her and I screw her over.

For what? A walking magazine cover.

I'm a complete loser, Marty.

Well, you...

You'll get no argument from me there.

So what?

So what? Maybe...

Maybe you do, you know, do this thing.

You're this guy. You get to

date the magazine covers.

You do it for 20 or 30 years, so what?

I mean, that's a great thing.

You know, you date them

and then you get old

and then you... don't.

So what?

What am I gonna do, buddy?

Mr. Godfrey, call on line two.

It's Lisa.

Would you take a message, please, Maria?

Thank you.

Lisa? Now who's Lisa?

Mr. Godfrey, the woman

says it's important.

She's calling from Sunray Tours.

Hello?

How come you didn't have to dress up?

Yeah?

All right, turn around.

You all look great. You come
