02x09 - Clair's Sister

[bunniefuu]

Thank You.

Hi.

Hi.

Sara, Why Did You
Choose This Place?

They Have Great Food.

That's Good

Because The Men Here
Look Very Hungry.

Have You Been
Getting The Eye?

Mm-Hmm! This Guy Over Here

At The Bar.

He's Got
A Friend.

There Are Two
Of Them Now?

This Never Happens
When I'm Alone.

It Must Be My Big Sister.

I Think You're Right.

What's Up?

I've Got Great News.

Yes?

Garvin And I

Are Getting Married.

Oh, That's
Wonderful!

I Know.

When?

All We Know Is, Soon.

Ladies?

The Gentlemen
At The Bar

Want To Buy You A Drink.

Tell Them
"Thank You"

But We Really
Can't Accept.

Good Move, We'll Wait
For A Better Offer.

Stop This Silliness.

What Made You Two Decide?

Well, Last Night
Garvin Insisted

We Go To This
Chinese Restaurant.

He Sat There
Grinning.

After Dinner, The Waiter
Came Over

With Just One
Fortune Cookie.

Garvin Said, "Open It."

And...?

The Fortune Said

"The Way To True Happiness
Is To Marry Garvin."

Hello.

How About Lunch
Instead Of A Drink?

We Don't Eat With
Gentlemen We Don't Know.

I'm Thad, And
This Is Greg.

If You Give
Us Your Names

We'll Know
Each Other.

Hey, Names Aren't
Important Anyway.

Let Me Guess.

You Two Are
Models, Right?

Right.

I Knew It.

When I First
Looked At You

I Knew You
Were Special.

So You Buy Drinks
For Special Women?

Yes, But There Aren't
Many Out There.

Well, Thank You.

You're Welcome.

You Know What?

What's That,
Darling?

My Husband And Five Children

Think I'm Special, Too.

Five.

Five.

That's All I
Have To Hear.

If You Want To Talk To
Two Uneligible Women

You're Welcome To Stay.

Have A Nice
Lunch.

Thank You.

Now, About
This Ring...

Yes...

Hey, Dad.

Hey, Son.

Did You Get
That Record?

I Got The Last One
In The Store.

How Much?

Uh... $ . .

And How Much Money
Did I Give You?

Ten Dollars.

So...?

So?

No, No, No, No!

Where's My Change?

Change?!

Change!

I Didn't Know You
Wanted It Back.

Since When Have
You Known Me

To Give Somebody A
Three Dollar Bonus

For Borrowing $ ?

Here You Go.

Man! Fathers
Have To Go Around

And Beg For The Change.

Why Are You Setting
The Chessboard Up?

For Grandpa Al.

In That Case,
Shouldn't You

Be Putting
It Away?

You're Funny.

But This Time, I Am
Going To Beat Grandpa Al.

I Got Him Figured Out.

He Does Things To Break
My Concentration.

The First Thing
That Happens Is

He Opens Up
And He Says

"You're Buzzard Meat."

That Gets Me Upset, And
I Start To Play Too Fast.

You
Understand?

And Every Time

I Get Ready To Move A Piece

He Says, "Mmm."

So, I'm
Ignoring That.

And When I Get A Good Move-

Say I Put This Piece Here

And He's Going To
Take This Piece-

He'll Say, "I'd Like A
Little Something To Drink

If You Don't Mind."

He's Not Breaking
My Concentration Any More.

All I'm Going To Say Is
"Hello" And "Checkmate."

Well, Good Luck.

Say, T., Come
Here A Second.

You Got A Little
Spot On...

What's That,
What's That?

That's Mom's Change.

And You're Going To
Give It To Her, Right?

Only If She Asks.

My Son, My Son!

Look At This One-
It's Beautiful!

You Should Wear

One Of These Old-Fashioned
Wedding Dresses.

I Was Thinking Of
Something More Like This.

That's Nice

But When I Get Married

I'm Going To Wear Lace
From Head To Toe

With A Train Feet Long,
Carried By

Twelve
Bridesmaids

In Lavender
Chiffon.

And A Huge Choir Will Sing
"Here Comes The Bride."

And I'll Have The Whole Thing
On Video Tape.

Have You Mentioned This
To Your Father?

Not Yet.

Let Me Know

When You Do.

I'd Like To Videotape That.

I'm Not Having A
Traditional Wedding.

Why Not?

They're So Primitive.

Explain That.

At A Traditional Wedding

They Give The Bride Away;

The Bride Takes
The Groom's Name.

You Are Not Going To Elope.

No, I'm Going
To Have A Wedding.

It's Just Going
To Be Really Simple.

We'll Have It
In The Living Room

And Afterwards
We'll Serve Sandwiches.

I Bet I Get Better
Presents Than You Do.

Can I Drive Over
To Suzanne's?

Yes.

Can She Drop Me
At Janet's?

Yes.

You Did Not
Ask Me.

It's Only Three
Blocks Away.

All Right, But You're
Paying For The Gas.

Remind You
Of Anyone?

You Wouldn't Let Me
Tag Along With You.

I Was Too Cool.

Who Would Want To Spend
The Rest Of Their Life

Looking At That Face?

Are You Going To Help Us

Plan The Wedding?

No Way- Every Time
I Suggest Something

You Say, "No."

Not Always.

Most Of The Time.

And Then You Say, "I Can't
Believe He Said That!"

That Must Be Mom And Dad.

Cliff, You Better
Hide That Chessboard.

No, This Time I Am Going
To Beat Your Father.

Hi.

Hi. Hi.

Hi.

Hi,
Mother.

Hi, Cliff, Hi.

I Don't
Want You

To Get Married.

Why Not?

I'm Not Ready

To Lose Another
Daughter.

You Can Have
That One Back.

Any Time You Want.

Come On, We've Got
A Wedding To Plan.

Let's Get Started.

Clair And I Have
Already Started.

Al, You're Looking Good.

I'm Feeling
Good.

What's This?

Oh... The Boy, My Son,
Set The Board...

Oh, I See.

Since The Ladies Are Busy

We Might As Well Play,
If You're Not Too Tired.

I'm Not Tired.

I Thought Perhaps There Was
Something On Your Mind-

You Know, The Wedding.

Well, I'm Not At My Best,
But... I Can Play.

Cliff? I
Only Have

One Thing To Say.

What?

You Are

Buzzard Meat.

You're A
Surgeon.

You Graduated From Med School.

I Graduated From Nothing.

Check.

Does It Look Better
From Down There?

Grandpa!

Rudy!

How's My Girl?

You're Getting
Bigger And Bigger.

Tell Me About
The Peaches.

I Told You About
The Peaches.

Tell Me Again.

Cliff?

Huh?

Excuse Me.

Yeah, Okay.

When I Was Little

I'd Go To The
Farmer's Market.

I Would Get Bushels
Of Peaches

And Put Them In
Little Baskets.

Then I'd Take Them Down
The Street, Calling:

"Peaches!

"Get Your Freestone Peaches,
Ma'am, A Quarter A Basket.

"No Melons...

"No Strawberries.

Freestone Peaches, Ma'am."

Peaches!

Freestone Peaches...

Ma'am!

She's Got My Voice.

You've Got A Partner.

Daddy, You Sing It.

* No Melons.

* No Strawberries.

* I'm Talking About...

* Freestone...
* Freestone...

Peaches. *

Will Dad Sing
At My Wedding?

Well, He Got So
Emotional At Yours

He Almost Forgot His Words.

Maybe He Could Sing:

* Bride...

I'm Talking About
Get Your Bride. *

Sara, Do You Feel Ready?

Oh, Definitely.

I've Been Doing Some Reading.

Reading?

Reading, Mom.

Reading About Marriage, Mom.

There's Some Great Books Out.

I'm Reading An Excellent One.

How To Have A
Successful Marriage

By M.D. Eddy, Ph.D.

M.D.

What's Funny?

Nobody Can Tell You That.

There's Some Helpful
Things In Here.

Like?

Chapter Three.

"Fighting The Good Fight."

"When Conflicts Arise

"You And Your Mate Should
Write Out Your Grievances;

"Then Exchange The Lists

And Discuss The Source
Of The Problem."

When Do You Yell?

You Don't.

If I've Got To Write Out

Why I'm Mad

I Might As Well
Throw This Book.

Chapter Four.

"The Quiet Hour."

"Always Spend At Least One
Uninterrupted Hour A Day

With Your Spouse."

I'll Have To Send The Children

To This Fool's House.

Ah!

We Have Hit Upon
Something Here.

What, What?

"Variety Is The
Spice Of Life."

Ooh.

"To Keep Excitement
In Your Marriage

"Always Try Something Different.

"For Example:

You Might Try Serving Dinner
In The Living Room."

I Shouldn't Have Brought This Book.

Let's Write One.

Now You're Talking.

What The Books
Don't Tell You.

There Has To Be A Chapter
About Husbands.

Several.

Chapter One.

"Have You Seen My... "

Before Going Out,
Your Husband Will Say:

"Have You Seen My Black Shoes?"

Or My Gray Socks?

Or My Striped Tie?

They Think We Go
In Their Closets

And Rearrange
Their Things.

And Chapter Two.

"The Real Baby Of The Family."

A Woman Can Have Pneumonia,
Influenza And Malaria

And Still Keep Going.

A Man Gets The Sniffles

And Has To Stay In Bed
For A Week.

My Favorite Chapter:

"They Never Know Your
Dress Size."

Don't Leave That Out.

I Have Worn A Size Eight
For Years.

Al Has Brought Me Home

Everything From A Size Four
To A Size Twelve

Depending On How
The Salesgirl Is Built.

May I Have A Glass
Of Juice, Please?

If You Don't Mind,
I'll Finish This Move.

Now, Deal With That.

Son-

Before You Go, Son.

Checkmate.

Chapter Nine.

"When The Husbands Try
To Get Back Into Shape."

How Are The Wedding
Plans Progressing?

Fine.

What's Going
On In There?

They're Laughing At Us.

No, No, No.

Go In There.

What?

Just Go In There

And Tell Me
What Happens.

Did You Want
Something, Al?

Yes, Dear.

What, Dad?

I'll Find It.

Ah... Here It Is.

Yep, I Think
You're Right.

They're Laughing
At Us.

I Told You.

Garvin!

Cliff!

Dad, Your Future
Son-In-Law

In The Autumn Of
His Bachelor Days.

Hey, Hi.

Good To See You.

Garvin.

Where Am I Going?

In The Kitchen.

Why?

Just Go In.

Garvin Is All Right.

I Like Him.

How Do You Think
He'll Do In There?

Buzzard Meat.

Yes, Indeed.

What Are They Laughing At?

Us.

They're Laughing
At What We Are

And What You're
Going To Be.

What's That?

A Husband.

Let's All Laugh At Them.

We Can't.

Why Not?

Because

They're Not Funny.

What's So Funny?

Nothing.

We Were

Just Laughing.

You Know How It Is

When Men Get Together.

No, How Is It?

You're Just Laughing

Because We Were
Laughing.

Maybe.

We'll Tell You,
If You Tell Us.

Now They're
Insecure

About What We
Were Laughing At.

That's Right.

No, No.

We Should Just Stay
Here With The Men.

Garvin And I Are Meeting
Some Friends For Dinner.

Help Me Get My
Sample Books?

Sure.

Tell Me What You
Were Laughing At.

Garvin, I Just Wanted
To Talk To You.

What's Wrong, Honey?

There's Years
Of Marriage In There.

Do We Have What They Have?

We're Going To Do Fine.

I Don't Think Those
Books About Marriage

Are So Accurate.

Well, Maybe We've
Got To Learn As We Go.

But Are We Ready?

I Don't Know.

But I Know
I Love You.

They're A
Nice-Looking Couple.

You Hope Your Daughters
End Up With Good Men.

So Far, I'm
Two For Two.

Thank You, Dad.

I Hope He Can Play
Chess Better Than You.

Thank You, Dad.

Mom, Clair, Thanks
For The Help.

Sara, Don't
Forget That Book.

I Left It For You
To Have Fun With.

Good Seeing
Everybody.

You'll See More Of Us.

Let's Have Lunch.

Okay, But I'll
Choose The Place.

Right.

Bye, Garvin.

Now, Dad, What Is This

About You Not Singing
At Sara's Wedding?

I Don't Know If I Can.

You Sang At Our Wedding.

Yeah, But I Started Crying.

It Was So Beautiful.

I'll Sing.

Oh, No.

* Come On, Baby, And Change Me.

* Put The Ring On My Finger

And Change Me. *

* You Know, When You Married Me

* I Was A Good Man

* But You Can Change All That

Fast As You Can. *

That Is Not The Song.

* We Belong Together...

It Goes Like This:

* We Belong Together.

Yes.

* We Belong Together.

How Did I Sing?

* We Belong...

Let Me Hear You.

* We Belong Together.

Sing It With
Him, Clair.

* We Belong Together.

* Just You.

* Just You.

* Just Me.

* The World To See.

* We Belong Together

* You And Me Forever

* Throughout All Time.

* You'll Still Be Mine

* 'Cause You Came Into My Life

* And Made It Sweet

* And So Complete.

* You'll Be My Love.

* You'll Be My Joy

* Forever

* Together.

Ooo... *
