- Come in for one drink.|- He doesn't want to come.|He doesn't have to come.
- I'll see you in about 20 hours.|- Bye-bye, dear.
- I love you, son.|- Night-night.
- George.|- Take care.
You okay?
- You better be up later.|- Yeah, why?
- Because I'm gonna come home|and get undressed...|- Uh-huh?
- and climb into bed,|- Uh-huh?
act like we just got|over a terrible fight.
See you later now.
Reading is good for you.|Knowledge.
Reading?
- Hold on, hold on. Listen, listen.|- I read it a long time ago.
- I'll throw in the screenplay to|The Bridges of Madison County.|- I saw the movie. It was great.
Okay, and--
And nothing. I mean--|I mean, I did nothing.
I-- I just let her|walk out of the party|and I didn't say anything to her.
And now she's gone forever.
I mean,|she was my soul mate.
Kenny, I honestly|think it's dangerous|to use the term "soul mate."
It implies there's|some magical element|that we have no control over,
like fate or destiny.
I think holding on to beliefs like|that stops us doing the real work.
And the fact is,|if your therapy stays on track,
I think you'll find there|are many, many people out there|you could easily be happy with.
You truly believe|all that, Sara?
Yeah. I really do.
- There you go.|- Thanks.
# From the very first time|I rest my eyes on you, boy #
# My heart said|follow through #
# But I know now that|I'm way down on your line #
# But the waiting|feeling's fine #
# You see #
# I don't wanna wait|in vain for your love #
# I don't wanna wait|in vain for your love #
# I don't wanna wait|in vain for your love #
# 'Cause summer is here #
- # And I'm still waiting there #|- # Summer is here #
- # Winter is here #|- # Winter is here #
# I'm still waiting there #
# Like I said #
# It's been three years since|I'm knocking on your door #
# And I still can knock|some more #
# Ooh, boy Ooh, boy #
# Is it crazy|Look, I wanna know now #
# For I to knock|some more, you see #
# In life I know ##
[Man]|You got to say yes, first.
Yes.
- Wait a second.|- Ow!
- Let me-- Ow! Ow! Ow!|- I got it. I got it.
- Ow, ow. Ow!|- I got it.
Okay, you're not gonna|read into this, right, Sara?
- I mean, it's just|an accident, nothing more.|- No.
God. We'll|get it refitted.
It's beautiful.|I love it.
You-You get changed.|I'm gonna call Ryan,|tell him you said yes.
- Why? Was he worried?|- Not about you. About the tour.
He's hoping to fit the honeymoon|into the schedule.
How does Bora Bora sound?
Very... sexy-sexy?
# I don't wanna wait|in vain for your love #
# I don't wanna wait|in vain for your love ##
[Man] Now, if you're a golfer|on a one-hour lunch break,
you'd use that time up|just getting to the nearest|course out of Manhattan.
All this was|a long overdue solution.
Formerly a dilapidated pier|and converted just five years ago,
the range offers the inhabitants|of this concrete jungle...
the chance to keep|their drives straight,|their short games accurate...
and most of all, brings the joys|and frustrations of golf...
back to city folk.
This is Nick Roberts,|ESPN News, New York City.
Superb, Nick.|We got it. Thank you.
- Artie, I gotta run, okay?|- What about the B-roll shot?
Paging Sara Lawson.|Paging Sara Lawson.
- Please come to the frontdesk.|- Could you come back and get|the B-roll on Friday?
- Yeah. Whatever you say, boss.|- Thank you, sir.
- I'm Sara Lawson. Hi.|Sorry I'm late.|- How are you?
You're down|at position number two.
[Sara] Oh, right. Bad golfers|all the way down there, right?
Dude, take off.|We got it.
Well, hello,|Mr. Marrying Man.
- Hi. Uh, where's Lauren?|- Oh, Lauren took the day off.
My name is Sara|and I'm gonna cut your hair today.
You know what?
I'm not thrilled with having|that "just cut hair" look|for my own wedding, so--
- I'll just take a little bit off.|- I gotta live with these pictures|the rest of my life.
- Just a little bit.|- Please, you know, uh--
# It's you #
# And me forever #
# Sara, smile #|Whoo!
# Won't you smile|a while for me #
Forget Charles Street.|Take me to the New York Times|building on 42nd, please.
- Mm-hmm.|- # Sara ##
- [ Horns Honking ]|- Whoo!
[Jonathan] I'm telling you,|I keep running into her.
I keep finding it.|It keeps happening.|She was at the golfrange.
She's a big girl now with big hips.|All right?
Then I gotta leave|'cause Sara's gonna cut my hair,
And the guy in the taxi,|he's serenading me, "Sara."
I'm telling you, the universe|keeps revealing her to me,
- screwing with my head.|- You're getting married|in three days.
- That's my point.|- It's entirely duplicitous.
Think about it. Why would you risk|your relationship with Halley...
- just to search|for some pipe dream?|- Just hear me out, man.
I'm sure that|I love Halley, all right?
And maybe every time|you fall in love with somebody,
it's a completely|different experience.
So it's a mistake to compare them.|I get it, but--
All right.
It's like Halley is|The Godfather, Partll.
She's what?
Godfather, Partll.|That was an incredible movie.
Might be better than the original.|All right?
But no matter how much you love|The Godfather, Partll,
you still have|to see the original...
to understand and appreciate|the sequel, don'tya?
Come on. Is it too much to ask from|my oldest friend to help me out?
- You've already got|the fairy-tale marriage.|- I'm the best man.
You work in the biggest|newspaper in the world.|Help me find her.
Let me tell you something.|Contrary to popular New York myth,
the Times|is not omniscient.
I need a last name.|I need a social security number.
- If we find the book--|- It-It-It's a dead end.|You know that.
- Unless we search every|book store in New York.|- You did that.
- Years ago. Do you remember?|- Maybe I missed a store.
- Maybe somebody bought it|and sold it back.|- You know what?
I don't want any part of this.|All right?
[Jonathan]|Maybe I am just getting cold feet.
I'm telling you right now,|British women do not age well.
You know, I mean, years ago,|yes, she was a luscious treat.
You know, she probably looked like,|you know, Baby Spice.
But now|she could look like--
Old Spice.
- It's a great haircut.|- Oh. Thanks.
- Tell me you love me.|- I love you.
- Tell me something romantic.|- Like what?
I don't know. Like...
how I'm the only girl in the|entire universe meant for you.
[Beeping]
Oh, my God, the dinner!
By the way, I emptied your closet.|We gotta pack for the honeymoon.
-[Beeping Continues]|- God, I hate this building.
Shut up!
Don't hit it with the thing.
- [Beeping Continues]|- Jon!|- What?
I'm gonna go yell|at the super.
[Halley] I don't understand|why this is going off.
- You said last week|it would be fine.|- Hey, Jon.
This place looks like|a disaster area.
- Thanks, Gerald.|- Gerald, it's in here.
I gotta get going.|Coming!
Come on! I wanna see!|I wanna see!
I thought you wanted|a round-cut diamond.
- Why? When did I say that?|- I'm not exactly sure.
