in going on dates, anyway?

Besides, if we don't go for food right now,

I'm gonna faint dead away from starvation.

Me too. I've got

hunger pangs. Major ones.

Well, come on, then.

What are we waiting for?

Nicole Louise, slow down!

Thanks.

(driver) Thank you.

(Susan) Act natural.

What's that cab doing there?

I don't know. Maybe it's

for one of the neighbors.

Come on, girls, get in.

Oh!

Hope you're coming, not going.

Hi. Hello there.

My car broke down at the market.

That's why I had to call a cab.

Where are the kids?

What kids?

Our kids. I thought they were

gonna spend the night here.

Oh, they were.

They are. They're inside.

Snug as a pair of little bugs.

OK. All right.

Do you mind if I go

and say good night to Mary?

Oh, no!

No, you can't.

They were here and they're

gonna be back here,

but at the moment they're gone,

out getting a bite to eat.

By themselves?

You mean alone?

Oh, no, no, of course not.

No, my girlfriend's taken them in my car.

That's why I had to call a cab.

I thought you said your car

broke down at the market.

I did?

Oh, no, no, no.

What I meant was that my girlfriend

has taken them to dinner

and then to the market...

Oh, forget it.

You know what I mean.

Shouldn't we be going? Didn't you

say the reservation was for 8:00?

Well...

Well, what are you waiting for?

You first. I told you,

I'm not getting out.

I'm meeting my friend from work.

But Mom, think about how uncomfortable

first dates always are.

Yeah, like what if

this guy has dog breath?

Yeah. Don't you think you'd have

more fun staying home with us?

Good night, girls.

It's stuck.

We can't get out.

Well, not unless you unlock it.

Wait! We forgot

to get dessert.

Mom, you can't go off

and leave us with no dessert.

You were gonna

make cookies, remember?

Oh.

I think we're out of

chocolate chips.

There's a bag in the pantry.

What about walnuts?

In the cupboard with the cereal,

Nicole. Now, goodbye, girls.

Have fun, Mrs. Ferris.

Yeah, Mom.

Hope it's great.

Be good.

Bye.

Well, I never really think

about being a single parent.

It's not something I planned on,

but when it happened,

we dealt with it.

There are some times I...

I wonder whether I spend

enough time with Mary,

or whether I should have a woman

around for her to relate to.

And then I stand back

and I watch her and I think:

"Hey, that's a pretty neat

kid there.

Must have done

something right."

She is a pretty neat kid.

You should be very proud.

I am. Nikki and I are

real fond of her.

Gosh, even with

two parents around,

it takes nothing short of

a miracle to raise happy kids.

I'll drink to that.

You know, I was really

surprised the other night

at how much you knew

about baseball.

Well, actually, I learned

everything I know from my husband.

Are you all right?

What? Oh.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine.

Is it your husband?

Is what my husband?

That upsets you.

The minute I mentioned baseball

you became completely unnerved.

Oh, no, no, no.

No, I'm...

I'm nerved.

I...

I just don't like talking

about it much, you know.

Since the divorce...

It was that painful?

No.

Not really, no.

I'm...

I'm over it now.

I bet they're having

the best time right now.

Yeah, that is if Mom didn't

show up and wreck everything.

Well, we've just gotta pray that she took

our suggestion and went someplace else.

I'd say we're ready for the M&M's.

Vector me in.

I'd say they're probably

on the top shelf.

That's where Mom hides

all the Halloween leftovers.

And bring the mini

marshmallows, if you find any.

Are you sure you're OK?

I'm sorry.

I wish I could explain.

It's all right.

Sorry.

No, please.

It's not your fault.

None of this is.

Oh, gosh, this is a nightmare.

I thought we were

enjoying ourselves.

We were. We are.

It's not you, it's me.

Honest.

Does this have anything to do

with that guy sitting over there?

You have not taken your eyes off

of him since he came in here.

Oh! Look, Bill, dinner!

Mm! Doesn't that look lovely?

Ooh, lovely, lovely, lovely!

You know, if their date is

half as good as these cookies,

we'll be sisters in no time.

You really love this place,

don't you?

Oh, no.

I love it.

Really, I love it.

I'm just not very hungry.

Uh...

That man over there

is my husband.

You mean ex-husband?

No!

I mean my husband.

My current, sleazy,

out-with-another-woman husband!

Susie!

Susie?

Susan.

Sharon!

Sharon!

Two?

Brian.

Sharon!

Susan.

Oh, Sharon!

Billy, I'm Brian.

Bill.

Wow.

(Sharon) Imagine. Brian,

you're not listening to me.

So that's when I called Brian

and asked him to help me give you

a taste of your own medicine.

When I saw you walk into

that restaurant, I about died.

And there I was

with another man.

Who thought you

were another woman.

Well, there was nothing I could do without

the whole thing just blowing up in my face.

Well, we should be getting

back to the hotel, hon.

I'm getting kinda tired.

You know, I never would have imagined

I could still feel so jealous.

I'm glad.

Come here!

Come on.

Good night, darling.

Good night.

I'll call you.

OK.

Bye.

Good night.

Quite a night.

Well, I...

don't know where to start.

I mean, I know you're Sharon and

not Susan, but I don't know...

which of you

it was that I was with

when I started having

this feeling.

Anyway, if we could just

start fresh.

Bill, I really like you.

I really do, but...

And I would have liked you even if

the kids hadn't tried to fix us up.

Thanks a lot.

And you've been a really great

sport about all this too.

It wasn't fair.

But...

As far as you and I...

I really think it's impossible.

Why?

How do you know that?

We haven't really even

spent any time together.

Have we?

Well...

You know, I'm gonna

take that job in New York.

Nikki and I are leaving

in a couple of weeks.

14 days. Who knows

what can happen in 14 days?

Yes, then what?

Relationships are hard enough without

putting 1500 miles between us.

And Mary and Nikki will stay in touch. And

I'm sure we'll be back here for visits.

I think it would be better for

everybody if we just stayed friends.

OK.

That's a pretty good

place to start.

So you're really going, huh?

My mom's already

got half the house packed.

And you won't believe how

grouchy Dad's been all week

since your mom brushed him off.

Is your Aunt Susan still in town?

She's helping Mom pack.

I guess she's gonna

stick around to see us off.

Gosh, I just can't believe

we blew it.

Do you think our lives

could possibly be any worse?

Ah, there you are, ladies.

Right in time

for a surprise pop quiz.

Hi! How are you?

I...

I...

I don't say a word.

I don't say a word.

Sharon, remember this?

Seems like a hundred years ago.

More like 200.

I'm going to the kitchen to get

a soda. Do you want anything?

Yes. An iced tea

would be fabulous.

Good idea.

I'll be right back.

You know, I'm really quite

proud of you girls.

You are?

How come?
