I don't really know

what that is, but i

Promise you i won't

think about it, sir.

It means keep your

hands to yourself.

Time's ticking.

- The big ones, 8 x 10's. Bye.

- Nice guy.

He's really a huge

teddy bear once you

Get to know him.

- I can tell.

- I don't like him.

Robert, you

don't even know him.

Look, he looks like a really

nice boy.

Look, he's a gentleman.

He's opening the

door for her.

Okay, try and put this

on without stabbing you.

- Okay.

Ouch!

- Okay.

- I, um...

I actually made

this for you.

It's not that

great, is it?

I think it's

beautiful. Thank you.

Perfect.

- Thank you.

I've never actually worn

one of these before.

Well, you look

very handsome.

Your parents are

probably watching

Us right now.

- Should we go should?

- Yeah, let's go.

What i wouldn't give to

go back in time and share

That moment

with you again.

We were so

innocent, and you...

You were so cute,

so charming.

I think it's safe to say i

was smitten with you from

The very beginning.

- Did you tell her?

- Yeah.

- What did she say?

Are you okay?

I've just never heard

her cry like that before.

It was hard to be around.

Why didn't you just

pack your bags and leave?

Because i didn't want

to make a big scene with

My daughter there.

I'll wrap my things up

in the next few days.

You can stay with me

until we get a

Place of our own.

Did you hear me?

Yeah. I knew she wanted to

find out happened to our

Marriage, but i could

hardly give her a

Satisfactory answer.

She had lost my heart

to another woman.

I didn't love her anymore.

I just pitied her.

Or so i thought

at the time.

- How is izzy?

She waited up

for you again.

I'll go talk to

her in a minute.

I'm sorry this has to be

done right now, but it's

Just gotta get done.

I need you to sign

the divorce papers.

They're more than fair.

You get the house, your

car, half the money we

Have in the bank.

You and izzy will be well

taken care of, i promise.

- Sorry i'm late.

- It's okay.

- Are you all right?

- Yeah.

- Okay. Did you order yet?

No, i was

waiting for you.

- Perfect.

So did you

look into that?

Yeah, yeah, it seems

like it's a pretty

Good jr. College.

I meant the

marriage license.

Oh, i haven't gotten

around to that yet.

- Good.

- What do you mean good?

- Never mind.

You're acting

really strange.

What's going on?

- I think...

That we might be a little

bit too young to be

Thinking about marriage.

That's all we've been

talking about for the

Last year, amber.

I know. I just feel like we

need more time to

Think about it, you know?

And then we'll meet

back up after college.

Are you breaking

up with me?

- That's not what i said.

- What are you saying?

That maybe, um, we

should see other people.

Look, doug, forever is a

really, really long time.

- I can't believe this.

I just wanted a hamburger.

Look, this isn't some

permanent thing, doug.

I just need to be sure.

I know what i want. I thought

you did, too.

You're the last person

i'd ever want to hurt.

I'm sorry.

This is coming from

your dad, isn't it?

- No.

Yeah, it is. He's never liked

me since day one.

He's just

overprotective.

I'm his only daughter.

He thinks i'm never

going to amount to

Anything because he's

loaded, and i'm poor.

- No, he just thinks...

- What? Thinks that what?

He thinks that i'm

way below his precious

Daughter because i

grew up in foster care?

Because i don't know my

real parents,

And i've never had a

relevant family? So what?

It's not my fault i wasn't

born with a silver spoon

In my mouth.

Yeah, life's hard,

but you know what?

I'm going to

prove him wrong.

I'm going to be really

successful, and i'm going

To be a great husband to

you someday, so go do

Whatever you want to do.

Go on a hundred dates.

Nobody's ever going to

love you as much

As i love you.

I'm going to be here for,

amber, however long it

Takes, because i know that

you're supposed

To be my wife.

I think that must have

been so hard for you.

What are you

talking about?

When we were young, in

that diner, and i said i

Wanted to see

other people.

You were right.

It wasn't

what i wanted.

My father was

pressuring me.

I'm really sorry i

put you through that.

None of that

matters anymore.

- It matters to me.

Amber, don't make this harder

than it has to be.

Just sign the papers.

- Izzy?

- Yeah?

I'm sorry

if i woke you.

- I was already awake.

I was waiting for

you to come home.

- I had to work late.

You always work late. You're

never home anymore.

How was school?

Keeping those grades up?

- All a's.

That's my girl. Well,

early day tomorrow.

Get some rest.

Dad? Why has mom been

crying all day?

I don't know, izzy, but

i don't want to discuss

This right now.

You hurt

her, didn't you?

Has your mom

told you anything?

No, but all of my

friends' parents seem like

They're getting

divorced lately.

I don't want that to ever

happen to you and mom.

All that matters is

that you know that both

Your mom and i love you

very much, and that will

Never change, okay?

All right, good night.

- Kids can sense things.

They're more intuitive

than we give

Them credit for.

I have to live with

it, all the guilt,

All the shame.

I'm haunted.

So she just

ripped it in half.

- Yeah.

She can't do

that, can she?

- She can and she did.

What are you

gonna do about it?

Print another one tomorrow

and give it to her.

She's gonna take you for

everything you're worth.

Look, i don't get the

feeling she's in it

For the money or the

possessions anymore.

Don't be so naive,

of course she is!

She's planning

something, i know it.

She's just

trying to cope.

I shattered her

whole world.

That woman

is no saint!

She wants your money!

- She wants her family.

Why are you

defending her?

That's not

what i'm doing.

- Yes, it is!

Are you having

second thoughts?

- No.

No, we've been

through this before.

Do you still have

feelings for her?

- No.

But you think i'm some

kind of a monster?

- No, i didn't say that.

You're not the one

that had to look his

Daughter in the eye last

night and try to explain

All this to her.

- Okay.

I know this is

hard on you

Because of your daughter.

Listen to me, but even

she wouldn't want you

To be in a

miserable marriage.

And she's gonna

understand some day.

I'm sorry if you

think that i've been

Insensitive, but i

have feelings too.

It's just a bad

situation all around.

- Sit down.

This is gonna

be over soon,

And it's just gonna

be me and you.

Your daughter can come

over any time she wants.

Everyone is gonna be

happier in the end.

Sometimes people come

into our lives and they

Appear to be something

that they're not,

Like a wolf in

sheep's clothing.

And these people

can harm you.

And more importantly,

They can harm the

people you love.

It seems family is being

targeted for destruction

More now than ever, and

without god in our lives,
