Guy with the bicycle.

Nice outfit.

Is he late?

Yeah, but...

...I expect the best.

So why did you pick this Sea Merchant?

The First Avenue one is way happening.

You mean there's another Sea Merchant?

The new one.

On your right!

Excuse me.

Was a Jamie here looking

for a Debbie Hunt?

Yes, and he left you a message:

I got your address from Expect the Best.

Meet you at your house.

Great!

He was hot!

Desperation.

It's the world's worst cologne.

- You're good at that.

- It's the key to popcorn.

SwirI with the bowI.

Let's put the bowI down.

Let's make some more.

All right.

Are you okay? I'm sorry.

More popcorn!

Want more popcorn!

Stop, stop, stop.

- You want more?

- How does it work?

- Do you want butter?

- Do I want butter?

Yeah. You represent well

in reaI life.

Thanks a lot. So do you.

Thank you.

When I missed you at Sea Merchant...

...I buzzed over on my Elite

and I ran into Pammy!

- Pammy from U-Dub.

- Pamela. I'm Pamela now.

Oh, you're Pamela.

Did you see that package

out on the porch for you?

No. Jamie and I made popcorn.

We're making popcorn here with IKermit.

I'd love to show you

this package on the porch.

Just one second.

Sure.

First off, we always said

separate lives.

- It's no biggie.

- It's a major biggie!

I knew him first!

So that gives you the right

to just bone him in my kitchen!

If I wanted that guy,

I wouldn't need a video date to get him.

No, you'd just wait for me to meet him

and then make popcorn!

I will make popcorn

with whomever I want to.

You've made popcorn

with half of the city!

At least I don't have to

chase the popcorn.

I don't think we should take

this vacation together.

You told me to tell you

when you're being plastic.

You're being plastic.

This is so unfair.

How much do you want for him?

$ 200.

- Outrageous!

- That's what I paid.

- $ 75.

- $ 150.

$80 and I'll do dishes all month.

DeaI!

Fine!

- We need to talk.

- I think we do.

There's something I need to say.

- You want out.

- Let's get married.

Everyone around us is together

for the wrong reasons.

Or they baiI out.

This is life telling us something.

- Oh, God!

- What?

Don't make me remember

this chili dog forever.

Remember it.

Make that a historic chili dog.

Take your time.

Think about it.

You don't even have to use words.

Just take a bite if the answer is yes.

I want to be logicaI about this.

Say we're married, we have the kid.

Will we be anything like we are now?

It's really the great unknown.

Plus I've got work.

I've got that Alaska trip,

you've got your thing.

I want to be logicaI.

I think I can love you

and still be logicaI.

What?

What is that look?

Someone who really cares about you.

It must scare you to death.

Forget logic.

What's in your heart?

I want to do it.

I think this is life

telling us something.

So that's a yes?

You're going to feeI good about this.

Really?

Mom, I want to get out!

Why can't we get out?

Did we make the right decision?

I don't know.

Xavier almost made the AII-Star team.

He fights players

who are better than him.

- Like?

- Like Charles Barkley.

That is a Bobby Van.

Who?

The host of Make Me Laugh.

I never got to finish that chili dog.

That light's on yellow way too long.

You okay?

You all right?

I'm fine.

Are you all right?

Are you all right?

Let's get out.

Come on, let's get out.

James.

James.

Who's James?

I don't know.

Honey.

James Worthy is a star.

X is just a player.

Is this from an earlier conversation?

Good sign.

We had an accident, baby.

You're in the hospitaI.

I lost it, right?

It's all over.

If we can't make it through this...

...if you don't know

you're not alone...

I lost the baby.

Will you look at me?

I was flunking out of high school.

I was 45 pounds overweight,

had a dead-end job, a beat-up car.

I didn't feel good about myself.

My future did not look very bright.

How are you doing today?

I'm better.

I think I've read every single

magazine in the world.

- Did you go to work today?

- No, I didn't.

It's been 2 weeks.

I think they're going to fire me.

I need some time alone.

Alone?

I have a new emotion every five seconds.

I think I should go ahead

and take that research trip.

I should just be out somewhere

in the middle of the ocean.

Alone.

I know I'm right about this.

It's just a month.

It's just work.

See you in a month!

I'll miss you!

Janet!

I got a present for you.

Give me another chance.

One, two minutes.

Come on.

This'll be great.

You're going to love me for this.

I installed your new stereo.

Great!

I'll replace the windows.

Thanks.

Work.

Work has never been better.

I miss her.

What will we say to each other

when she gets back?

- Welcome back.

- You look great.

You too.

How are you?

How was it?

It was really good.

Really good.

You want to go home

or out someplace?

I could do either.

Can you think of a place?

There's Costa's, I guess.

Or whatever.

The 3-2-1?

- No, Costa's all right.

- I don't really care.

Jesus!

The pressure in the air could sink us.

I know.

I really got into my job again.

I did too.

I've been working my ass off.

I had the Coast Guard working for us.

It was reaI exciting.

That's great.

We don't have to try

and be what we were.

Thanks.

I've been thinking the same thing.

Great.

Friends.

Let's be the first people in history

to say it and mean it.

You always say the perfect thing.

That obnoxious mime...

...was right.

Love disappears.

Let's go, man!

Let's go!

We got people out here!

I got to go piss, man!

Let's go!

Linda.

It's me.

I had to call you.

It's about midnight.

I was having many beers...

...and I wanted to say...

...what I should have said at the dock.

I f***ing chickened out.

I lied when I acted casuaI,

like Mr. CasuaI...

...and I should have said it!

You belong...

...with...

...me!

We belong together.

It pissed me off that, now that

we're talking, you thought...

...I proposed to you only because

you were pregnant!

I've got to go piss!

This is not the bathroom!

Maybe if I'd said some of

these things at the dock...

...it would've made a difference.

I think we made a big mistake.

We had good times and bad times...

...but we had times.

And I would like to start over.

I would like to be new to you.

I want to be new to you.

I want to be Mr. New.

Call me back if you want.

This is the last time I'll call.

If you really needed to know

how I really feeI...

...that's how I feeI. I love you.

That's something you should know.

I won't bother you again.

Good night and goodbye.

I love you. Call me back.

Goodbye.

This thing just eats tapes.

So ultimately we're talking about...

...900,000 to a million people

by the time it's done...

...most of them single-car drivers.

We provide a better and safer

environment than their cars.

Why can't it work, Mr. Mayor?

So it's a train.

A supertrain.

I've been burned by this

train business before.
