What If... Page #2

---

Watch the nail.

There we go.

- We can't do this.

- Why not?

We'll be late.

- For what?

- The weekend.

- But Ben it's only thursday.

- But not in Paris.

Wheels up at 8 pm,

uncork some champagne.

Nibble some beluga and tomorrow night

you'll be dining on Civet Lapin at Maxine.

- Your joking.

- I never joke about Paris.

I'll meet you at the airport.

The limo will pick you up at 6.

Wait,why aren't you picking me up?

I gotta take care of

some important business.

Many are called but few are chosen.

Mercedes Benz SL 65 AMG Black Edition.

She combines grace and power with unsurpassed elegance..

Let's save you the pain and

negotiating and make this quick.

This car costing you money

every day it sits in the lot

and I can help you with that.

Obviously i'm not paying MSRP

and the 2450 destination fee.

Lets start with actual cost and

start from there

Your dealership survives on 3 percent

profit but with overhead and sales commissions

you need at least 5,normally you

get 10,How about I give you 4 percent

pay cash and make up for it on the suckers?

I'm turning inside out.

Running into doubt for me.

Turn around.

Whoa, Wait.What's going on?

No, no, no.

No, no, no, no, come on.

You're kidding me.

This is a brand-new car.

You think this is funny?

Boom!

You need some help?

Who are you?

Oh, tow truck driver.

Nope, I'm an angel sent here

to help you

straighten out our life.

Uh-huh.

Listen, I need to get back

to the city right away.

Well, that's

not gonna happen.

Okay, look, Whatever you

normally get, I'll add 50%.

Don't Worry about that.

Oh, they're so cute

at this stage.

No, I'm heading back to

Clearville and so are you.

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa,

stop, stop, stop.

Clearville, no I'm not...

We're at Clearville.

Wow, I drove a long Way.

Look, I'm not going back

to Clearville.

You see, I spent my Whole life

trying to escape from there.

Well, that's Where

your car is headed.

I guess it's your call.

But...

Whatever happened to you?

You had such potential.

Hey pal, did you happen

to notice that the car

on the hook back there

is a $250,000 Mercedes?

That's just What

I'm talking about,

fast cars, faster Women,

big promotion.

How did you know

about the promotion?

I told you, I was

sent here to help you.

I don't need your help.

I just need to get back

to the city.

I told him

you Were gonna say that.

But once he makes up his mind,

Well, you know how he is.

Who are We talking about,

Mr. Big of the towing industry?

Have you ever taken a moment

and stopped to think

that you've lived your life

up until noW

and completely

missed the point?

Life is life.

You live, you die, that's it.

There is no point.

That's the dumbest thing

you've said so far.

I don't understand

Why he chose you.

Okay, you know What?

Stop the truck,

all right, right noW.

I Want to get out of here.

All right, look.

Now that we're here,

you're gonna find things

have changed just a little bit.

Well, things have

changed a lot.

The most important thing

to remember noW...

Why Won't this open?

Ben, pay attention

here, will ya?

How do you know my name?

Look, you're just

gonna have to go With it.

For right noW it's reality.

It's your reality.

You're just going

to have to accept it.

Don't do anything stupid like

jumping out in front of a car

or sticking your finger

in some light socket to see

if it's real, okay,

because it is.

Okay, but can you just

let me out noW please?

Oh yeah, one more thing,

Megan, her name's Megan.

- Who?

- The little girl.

Oh, she'll freak out

if you forget.

NoW, close your eyes,

count backwards from a hundred.

Uh, no.

Trust me, it Will be a lot

better if you close your eyes

and count backwards.

Yeah, trust you?

I don't even know you.

Fine, all right,

Well, have it your Way.

I'm gonna put

on lipstick too.

Dad, you need to brush my hair.

Wendy?

Ben, honey, I just needed

a few minutes

to finish getting ready.

You seem so real.

I got this, honey.

Ben, What are you doing?

You know, this is a big day.

We need your help.

Okay, just relax.

This isn't really happening.

You're not really here.

Okay, you just go get ready.

I'll fix this.

Mommy, daddy's

crawling on the floor.

Ben, stop playing around.

You're gonna be late.

I don't Want

to go to church.

Well, then you

don't have to go.

Really?

Thanks, dad.

Dad, dad, no.

I'm not your dad.

I'm not anybody's dad.

I knew I was adopted!

Honey, you are not adopted,

and you are going to church.

Daddy said

I didn't have to.

Ben Walker, are you trying

to drive me crazy this morning?

Or does it just come naturally?

Either way, you're gonna have

to explain to your daughter

why it's so important that

she goes to church.

Oh.

Um, well, see there are certain

things in life that are,

you know, very important.

You know, like,

like uh, like um,

a healthy nutritious breakfast,

you know, and hard Work

and certain amount

of exercise is good.

And?

Oh, and going to church.

I'm not going.

Well, let me make

this easy for you.

First, you're gonna go

because I said so.

And second, if you can't start

thanking Jesus for everything

he's given you, then maybe you

should start giving

some things back, like

starting with your cell phone.

- Ben.

- Huh?

Go.

Go Where?

You know, they say only one

in a hundred people dreams

in color, and apparently

I'm the one,

though I never knew it before.

Wonder if I'll remember

When I Wake up.

Here's your tie.

You're kidding me.

I Wouldn't buy this.

I know.

It Was a father's day gift

from Megan, remember?

Oh.

Okay.

Since When do you know

how to do that on your own?

I'm okay as long as

I don't think about it?

Hmm.

Wow.

Um.

Wendy, there's something I feel

I should tell you,

Which is really strange given

that this is only a dream

and you're never

gonna believe me,

but you have to

because it's important.

It's important

for you to know.

Mm-hmm.

I'm not your Ben.

I mean I am,

but I'm not.

I know.

You do?

You think I don't know

When my husband isn't himself?

It's not easy to come here

and save the day.

It's a lot of pressure, but

I know you're gonna do great.

You always do.

I have no doubt.

NoW put on your coat.

We're gonna be late.

Okay, just go With it

until We can find Mike

and get out of this.

Yeah.

Wait, Megan, one second.

Uh, aren't you

forgetting something?

What?

Oh.

Okay, let's hurry.

Okay.

We're gonna be late.

Okay, let's go.

Ha!

... I drive a minivan.

Yeah.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Hmm, convenient.

That saved a Wretch like me.

I once Was lost.

It's a little far forward,

don't you think?

Cut it out, Ben.

I haven't seen

this place in years.

Sure could use an upgrade.

It's probably got the same

gum underneath the seats.

Reverend, it's already time.

They're ready for you noW.

Reverend?

Reverend?

This is a very exciting day

for the little, White church,

so please join me in
