... San Francisco leads : ...

Hey, Mark!
What' re you doin' in there?

Uh...-I'll be right out!

Well that was a whole quarter you're out,
I thought you wanna see this game!

I do, I do!
I'll be right out!

You keep watching, so you can
tell me, what I'm missing, all right?

Surprise!

Now, what's going on?

You forgot! It's a good
thing we're not married!

You're tellin' me,
what did I forget?

It's our anniversary! Four years
ago we started travelling together!

You're right, I did forget.

Yeah, turn that thing off,
get over here!

Gotta make a wish
and blow out the candles.

Go!

A wish!

You 're ready?
- Ready!

Go!

I'll get us a couple of plates!

What did you wish for?

Hey, Mark! Come on! You're not
supposed to say your wishes, remember?

Come on, that's a lot
of superstition!

How about tryin' to guess
what I wished for?

Come on, come on!
Try to guess!

Mark, I don't have to guess.

What do you mean, you don't have...

Jonathan, that is not fair!

You already know!
You say:

"You're not supposed to tell anybody...",
and you already know!

Mark, I can't help it!

That ruins it.

If it makes you feel any better,
we both wished for the same thing.

Yeah, we'd been always
working together!

That's right.

Boy,- been a great four years.

Changed my life!

Tell you, I never forget the
night I met you!

I'm surprised you remember it.
You were bombed!

Tell me about it! Why else would
I start a fight with two guys?

Boy, you really saved
my buns that night!

Two points.

There it is, the O.K. Corral, Hoot.
And I'm Doc Holliday.

- Hey, that's enough, leave him alone.
- Hey.

I turned the other cheek.

You're ready to go home now?

Yeah.

But the night I really remember
was the night you told me you're an angel.

Boy, did I think you were a phony!

I remember, I was searching
through your apartment.

Can I help you, Mark?

Yeah, you can help me.

You can help me by telling me
what you're after.

I don't know what you mean.

Come on. Don't play
Mickey the Dunce with me.

I've been there.

I know the difference between
a straight john and a con man.

Now, you wanna talk to me,
you wanna talk to the cops?

Go on.

I have been to every nursery,
every bicycle shop in this town.

None of them ever heard of you.
Now, can you explain that to me?

I'd rather not.

And what about this place?

You've got no clothes.
You don't have any food.

You don't even have a toothbrush
or a razor.

You don't live here.
This place is a front.

I want some answers, Mr. Smith.

Look, all I can tell you
is I'm just doing my job.

I'm not here to hurt anyone.
Please believe me.

You sound like all the rest of them.
"I'm innocent, please believe me."

Now, I'm gonna tell you one more time,
either you talk to me or I call the cops.

If you do that, I'll have to leave
before my job's done.

Then talk.

If I tell you, you're not
gonna believe me anyway.

Try me.

All right.

In my job, I am sent to various places
by my boss to try to help people.

Go on.

I'd like to leave it at that.

Yeah, I bet you would.

Come on, come on.
Now, what is the setup here?

I mean, who's your boss?

God.

What?

My boss is God.

Oh, boy, oh, boy.
My sister really picked a winner.

You're nothing but a kook.

- I told you, you wouldn't believe me.
- And you were right.

I don't know whether you're
a harmless or a dangerous kook,

but I'll tell you one thing:

I am not leaving you alone
with my sister.

Not until the police
have a chance to check you out.

I'll let you leave in a minute.

What do you mean,
you'll let me leave?

Just what I said.

You wanted the truth,
I'm giving it to you.

I'm an angel.

I'm not one of the best, but I try.

And I make mistakes.

The bicycles were a mistake.

- But he let me have them.
- "He"?

Yeah, God.

I guess he figures
the only way I'll learn is by mistakes.

I'm kind of new at this.

Boy, oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy.

Listen, friend, you need help.

Yes, I do. I need your help.

What good is it gonna do you
to go to the police?

I'll be gone by the time you get back
and I won't have finished my job.

You're gonna hurt a whole bunch
of innocent people for no reason.

And all because
you don't trust your fellow man.

Well, I said my piece.
You can go now.

If you change your mind
about talking to the police,

you're welcome to have dinner here.

Leslie said you like steak.
You'll find one in the refrigerator.

I better bring her the sour cream.

Boy, it's hard to believe,
that was four years ago.

Seems like it was only yesterday.

Yeah, we had some
great times, you and I.

And some funny ones.

Of what do you think?

I'm thinking about the time the boss
put you inside the body of that actress...

What was her name?

Linda Blackworth.

I'm gonna k*ll her.

- She's a guy, she can take it.
- What? Hey, you--

Now, come on, stop it
and listen to me.

He's doing this so you will understand
what it's like to live like the other one.

The sooner you accept that
and do it,

the sooner he's gonna put you back
in your own bodies. Now, stop it.

You mean that he has to go out there
and do my lines?

- I'll be ruined.
- Linda, that is exactly what I mean.

You're gonna have to keep
all of Mark's appointments,

and Mark's gonna have to keep
all of yours.

- Piece of cake.
- What?

You heard me, piece of cake.

- Well--
- Yeah, come in.

I hate to bother you,
but Mr. Campbell wondered if--

Yeah, if what?

If you'd like to rehearse.
We're ready.

You bet I'm ready.

I'll be right there.

You keep my hands off of those.

Shut up.

Do you really want no piece of it?

No. Eat one! You are
doing fine without me.

Hey Jonathan! Of all our
assignments, all of them:

Which was your favorite?

Same here.

What?

Your were thinking about your
cousin Dianne marrying Scotty.

Why do you keep doin' that?

Come on, I would have known that,
even if I wasn't an angel.

Remember? You were so worried,
the marriage wouldn't work out.

Well, so was Scotty,
if you hadn't convinced him.

I bet no man ever put a ring on his
bride-to-be the way Scotty did that night.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Can I come in?

Yeah, sure.

I thought Jonathan and Mark
were picking you up.

Yeah, they did.
I asked them to wait downstairs.

Look, I'll make this short.

I've been a jackass,
but I'm over it now.

And if it's not too late--

I mean, if you haven't
changed your mind,

I'd like to ask you to marry me.

- I'll understand if you say no.
- Yes.

Yes?

Oh, yes, Scotty.

Okay.

Would you do something crazy
if I asked you?

Anything.

Would you put your finger
in my mouth?

What?

Your ring finger.

Put it in my mouth.

I love you, you crazy nut.

Takes one to know one.

Oh, I love them married.

I tell you, when it's right
there is nothing like it.

Oh. Mark, it's for you.

Quit doin' that!

Hello?

Frank?

Frank Kelly?

You son of a g*n!

How did you know
where to find me?

Your sister told him.

Would you quit!

Hey Frank!
What's goin' on?

You're kidding!

What, of course
I wanna be there!

Ha ha, you bet I will!

All right, we'll see you there!

I don't believe it!

He's told you he's gonna get married,
and they want you to be their head usher.

Why do you keep doing that?

I'm terribly sorry.

Yes, we're gonna have
to leave right away.

I'm all ready.

Right, I'll get my stuff packed.

Hey Mark!
- Yeah.

Better go to the bathroom first.
Got a long drive.

Well, Mr. Smart, now look,
I don't have...-

Now that's cute, Jonathan,
that's cute!

What are you waiting for,
the street to turn green? Let's go.

- Boy, oh, boy, oh, boy.
- Will you calm down?

I am calm. I just wanna get
to the church on time.

You'll get there on time.

Not if I have to drive behind
Romeo and Juliet here the whole way.

It's only a rehearsal,
it's not the wedding.

It is the rehearsal
of my best friend's daughter.

I wanna be there on time.

Weddings are supposed
to put people in a good mood.

I'm in a great mood.

All right, so I'm a little nervous.
Weddings make me nervous,

especially when
I have to do something.

- All you have to be is an usher.
- Not just an usher.

Head usher.

You know, I was best man
at Frank and Carla's wedding.

Seems like only yesterday.
Here their daughter's getting married.

Boy, the years really fly by
when you get older.

I wouldn't know.

Oh, yeah. Jonathan,
you're gonna love these people.

They are the most loving, romantic
people you've ever met in your life.

I mean, they're what marriage
is all about. Their parents too.

What a cute couple.
You know, they still hold hands.

With all the families going to pot,
these are the kind of people

that restore your faith
in the institution of marriage.

- Mark.
- What?

- There's an assignment.
- Where's an assignment?

We've got an assignment.

- Since when?
- Since just now.

But, Jonathan, there can't be. I cleared
this date with the boss months ago.

- What's the assignment?
- I'm not sure yet.

Why don't you go on to the church,
I'll take care of this one alone.

Jonathan,
I counted on you being there.

Will you stop worrying,
you're gonna do fine.

Oh, Jonathan,
you know, it's not the same.

Now, Jonathan--Jonathan?

Jonathan.

Oh, no.

What are you doing stopping
in the middle of the road, you jerk?

What was I doing?
I stopped at a stop sign.

- What were you doing?
- Yeah, what were you doing?

Oh, I--I was just talking to my friend.

I took my eyes off the road
for a second.

What friend is that?

Well, he was there.
See, he had to leave all of a sudden.

Out of a moving car.

Let me see your licence.

Oh, Jonathan.

Leave me alone.
I took the pill an hour ago.

You did not.
I have the pills right here.

Well, how can I take them
if you keep hiding them?

Well, if I don't keep them,
you forget them.

I should have took the damn pill
an hour ago.

- Mr. Kelly.
- What?

He said, Mr. Kelly.

I know what he said, Rose.
I'm not deaf.

He said, "Mr. Kelly,"
and I said, "What?"

- Mark Gordon.
- Who?

Mark Gordon.
I used to come to your house

on Thanksgiving, Christmas,
, years ago.

Oh, of course.
This is my wife, Rose.

I know. How are you, Mrs. Kelly?

Mark Gordon.

Yeah, he's a friend of Carla's.

No, I was on the police force
with Frank.

Oh, he was on the police force
with Frank. He's not Carla's friend.

You're thinking of that other Gordon,
Charlie Gordon.

Well, I know who I'm thinking of.
I'm thinking of this fellow right here.

You're always trying to correct me,
every second, and I'm getting sick of it.

Sick of it, are you? There's no age limit
in the divorce court.

Divorce court, huh?

Well, you keep it up
and that's just where I'll be.

Don't you thr*aten me.
I don't need it.

I have a heart condition too,
and I don't need to be threatened.

I am not going to argue with you
here in church.

Why not?
We argue everywhere else.

Trish's wedding is going to be
the most important day of her life

and I am not going to let you spoil it.

Spoil it?
Why am I the one that's spoiling it?

If it's so important to her,
why isn't she here?

I have two meetings
I have to get to today.

Your daughter's wedding
is more important than your meetings.

My meetings are paying
for this wedding,

and the house, and the cars,
and the maid, and everything else.

Why do I have to justify
going to work to you?

Because you use your work
as an excuse.

An excuse for what?

For ignoring your family,
just like you always do.

Carla, I'm here.
What are you griping about? I'm here.

- Hey, Frank.
- Mark.

- Carla.
- Mark.

- Frank.
- Yeah.

Hey, you look great,
both of you, you look great.

So do you.
I really appreciate your coming here.

- We both do.
- Wouldn't have missed it for the world.

Hey, later on we'll have to get together
and knock back a few.

- Oh, that you have time for.
- Yeah, that I have time for.

Well, you look great.

Yeah, so do you.

- Well, where's the little bride to be?
- That's what we'd like to know.

I cleared my whole morning,

she doesn't even have time to show up
to rehearse her own wedding.

- You're a regular martyr, Frank.
- Give it a rest, Carla.

- Okay?
- Fine.

Well, why don't we just start
without her?

We can't start without her.

Our part, at least
we'd be accomplishing something.

The reverend isn't even here yet.
Will you just calm down?

Our reverend got sick and the new guy
hasn't even showed up yet.

Hi, everybody.

I'm sorry I'm late, Daddy, but some
loudmouthed drunk rear-ended us.

- Are you both all right?
- We're fine.

I stayed in the car
and let Brad handle it.

Well, honey, this is your Uncle Mark.

- Hi.
- Hi.

The last time I saw you,
you were just a baby.

Mr. Kelly, I'm really very sorry
but some jerk just-

You.

That's my Uncle Mark.

That is the guy
that rear-ended the Porsche.

Yeah, really, I'm sorry about that.
This is really not my day, you know?

Don't feel bad,
nothing's going right today.

I'm late for a meeting,
and we still don't have a preacher.

I'm terribly sorry I'm late,
but I just got word of this assignment.

I'm Reverend Smith.

Praise the Lord.

Amen.

Thank you.

- How you doing, Mr. Kelly?
- Oh, pretty good.

How are you, Charlie?

- No, Mark.
- Oh, yes, Carla's friend.

Say, how long
have you been married now, sir?

- Forty-nine years.
- Oh, hey, that's wonderful.

What's so wonderful about it?

Well, you know, you've been
happily married all those years,

and now your granddaughter's
getting married.

Wonderful, huh?

Well, if I had known then
what I know now, I'd still be single.

If you're so unhappy,
why don't you do something about it?

I wasn't talking to you.
I was talking to Charlie here.

Mrs. Kelly, it's nothing,
we were just talking, you know.

If you knew then what you know now,
you'd still be single.

Well, if I knew then what I know now,
I can promise you you'd be single.

Oh, you wouldn't have
married me, huh?

That's what you say about me, and I'm
getting sick and tired of hearing it too.

Oh, Mrs. Kelly, he didn't
mean anything, he was just talking.

Button it up, Charlie.

Well, maybe that's what I did mean,
if that's the way you feel about it.

Then I think you should
move your things into the spare room

until you can find another place.

Well, that's fine with me.

No, wait a minute, see, he was
just using a figure of speech-

I said button it up, Charlie.

My name is not Charlie, I'm Mark.

Frank, you'd better
go see your mother.

- Why, what's wrong?
- She's upset.

I mean, it's ridiculous, splitting up
after years of marriage. It's absurd.

Any more absurd than splitting up
after years of marriage?

I don't want to talk about it now.

Not until after the wedding. We are not
going to spoil things for Trish.

I want to talk about it. I don't see
why we have to get a divorce.

I'm perfectly content to just
go along with things the way they are.

Well, I'm not.
No, a divorce is the only way.

What divorce?
What are you talking about?

Oh, nothing, honey.
We weren't talking about anything.

Yes, you were.
Now answer me. What divorce?

Jon, I don't understand it.

I mean, Rose and Clarence were
the most loving couple I have ever met.

Now, they're at each other
like cats and dogs.

- What happens to people?
- I don't know.

Maybe they forget
why they fell in love in the first place.

Reverend Smith,

I just wanted to tell you
so you can plan your calendar.

We won't--

We won't be needing you
next Saturday.

I'm postponing the wedding
indefinitely.

- Trish, why?
- Why?

My grandparents are splitting up.

My mother and father
are getting divorced.

Your parents?
No, you gotta be kidding.

I wish I was.

What's the point of getting married
if that's the way it ends?

- Look, Trish, just because you--
- I'm sorry.

I don't think I can talk about this
right now.

The wedding is off.

Honey, what's the matter?

Oh, everything.

I'm sorry, Brad.

- I can't marry you.
- What?

- I--I can't marry you.
- What are you talking about?

Ask my parents, or my grandparents.

Here's your--Your ring.

Trish.

Trish.

You had dinner at the party.
I can't believe you're still hungry.

I'm not hungry, I'm upset.
I always eat when I'm upset.

You're gonna be awake all night
complaining you got gas.

I will not.

I can't believe those people
breaking up like that.

I thought when a marriage breaks up,
somebody's been a bad guy,

you know, like, somebody's
fooling around or something like that.

These people aren't doing that.
They're good people.

- I know.
- I mean, they got everything.

You know, they got money, they got
their health, they got each other,

and they're miserable, and they're
making each other miserable.

I mean, why do people do that?
You'd think they'd learn, huh?

Oh, boy.

- What's the matter?
- I've got gas.

There must be garlic or peppers
in this thing,

every time I eat those things
it happens to me like that.

Oh, Jonathan, I'm not gonna be able
to sleep all night long.

Jon, couldn't you use the stuff
just a little bit,

- and make the gas just go away?
- Mark, I'm an angel, not an antacid.

Oh, that's cute, Jonathan, cute.

You know what, why don't you
really just try and get some sleep?

Jonathan, I just told you
I can't sleep when I'm feeling like this.

Even if I do, I just have crazy dreams
all night long.

- I know.
- Oh, no, Jonathan, don't do that.

Mark, I got three couples
that are splitting up here,

- I can't be everyplace at once.
- Jonathan, I hate when you do that.

I hate when you put me in other
people's dreams. I never get any rest.

Besides, the way I am feeling, I am not
gonna be able to sleep all night long.

- I mean, it is a lost cause.
- Mark.

- What?
- Good night.

Good luck.

Oh, boy.

- What's that? Who's there?
- That was me, Mr. Kelly. I burped.

What in tarnation are you doing in
my house burping at this time of night?

Well, it's this sandwich.
It gave me gas.

So go belch in your own room.
This is my room.

Well, actually it's your guest room.
You're supposed to be upstairs

in your own room with your wife.
That's why I'm here.

So she sent you?

No, she didn't send me.
You're just having a dream about me.

- What?
- I said you're still asleep.

- You're just having a dream about me.
- You gotta be kidding.

- Go on, get out of here.
- I'm afraid I can't do that.

- What?
- Listen, Clarence,

we got a lot to do tonight,

so why don't you put on this coat
so we can go?

- Go where?
- Well, for starters, in there.

That's my bathroom. Why would I go
into my bathroom with you?

- There is a party going on.
- Oh, forget it, Charlie.

I'm not going to any parties
in my bathroom with you.

- Mark.
- What?

- My name is Mark, not Charlie.
- Whatever.

Listen, Clarence,
you remember you said

if you knew then what you know now,
you'd be single?

- So?
- Well, now's your chance.

Here, put on this coat.

On the other side of that door,
there is a young man named Clarence.

He's about to marry
a girl named Rose.

That young man is you years ago.

Now's your chance
to tell him what you know.

And if he believes you,
really believes you, he won't marry her.

You'll get your wish. You'll be single.

- That's in my bathroom?
- That's right.

Gentlemen, let's have your attention.

Let's have one last toast
to my best pal, Clarence Kelly,

who, after tomorrow,
will be a bachelor no more.

To poor old Clarence.

To poor old Clarence.

It's Joe Dougherty.
He was my best man.

That's right. Recognise
that pie-eyed young fellow over there?

It's me.This is my bachelor party.

You guys go ahead,
I'll catch up with you in a second.

I'm gonna splash a little water
on my face.

Champagne.

You see? He's already falling apart
and he's not even married yet.

All right, Clarence,
we'll save you a ringside seat.

Come on.

Now's your chance, Clarence.

Clarence.

Hey, old-timer. How'd you get in here?
This is a private party.

Clarence, look at me.
Don't you know who I am?

- Should I?
- Yeah, you should. I'm you.

- You are?
- Yeah.

Gee, I look terrible.

Kid, I'm you years later.
You're me years ago.

And I thought I was drunk.
Look, I wanna go wash up, okay?

No, you don't. You don't wanna splash
any water on your face.

You wanna hightail it
out of that back door

and call Rose
and tell her the whole thing's off

because you're not ready
to get married yet.

How did you know what I was thinking?
That's just what I was thinking.

And I'll tell you something else too.

You're thinking you maybe ought
to go down to that train station

and buy a ticket
for the first train to San Francisco

and when you get there,
join the Merchant Marines.

Because you think
you're too young to settle down.

You think
maybe you're getting married

just because everybody's been
telling you it's time to get married.

And maybe you really don't want
to marry her at all.

Who are you?
How do you know all this?

Because I'm you,
and that's exactly what I thought.

Only I never did it.

I just went ahead and got married
and never lived that life of adventure

that I could have had
if I'd just gotten on that train.

Now I'm an old man full of regrets

and thinking about
what might have been.

Don't you let that happen to you, kid.
You get on that train.

You get on that train for San Francisco
and don't look back.

You're right. You're right.

I don't know who you really are, mister,
but you're right as rain.

Thanks.

- And, Clarence.
- Yeah?

Whatever you do,

don't let her sweet talk you
out of that life that's waiting for you,

that life full of all of the adventure
that I never had.

Don't worry, I won't.

And thanks.

Well, you did it, Clarence.

Yeah. Yeah, I guess I did.

Listen, maybe we ought to go down
to that station with him.

- That train doesn't leave till midnight.
- No, you convinced him.

Yeah. Yeah, I guess I did.

I feel so tired all of a sudden,
you know?

Maybe we better get back.
I don't feel so good.

Anything you say, Clarence.
Anything you say.

What's going on here?

My house. Where's my house?
There's no house here.

Where--?

All the neighbours' houses are here.
Where's mine?

- You never built it.
- Of course I did.

I lived in that house for years.
Frank was raised in that house.

There's not any Frank either,
Clarence.

How could there be?
You built this house for you and Rose.

If you never married Rose,
you never built the house.

No Frank?

No grandchildren either.

But we had so many good times,
good memories in that house.

And all with Rose.
But you're better off without her.

I mean, what the heck,
all she did was nag.

Because she cares about me.

No, she doesn't Clarence.
You never married her.

She doesn't even remember
what you look like.

But you were there
every Christmas and Thanksgiving.

You said so yourself.

Those were good times in that house.
Wonderful times. You were there.

Not if you didn't marry Rose.
See you around, Clarence.

No. No. I want my life back.
The one I had.

We've got to get down
to that train station.

We can't let me get on that train.
Please.

I don't know if that's possible,
Clarence.

But we can try.

Your attention please.

The New York Limited now boarding
on Track number .

Where is the young fool?

- Clarence.
- What?

Look over there.

It's Rosie.

Gosh, look at her.
I forgot how beautiful she was.

What--? What's she doing here?

She came to pick up her aunt who's
coming from Boston for the wedding.

- Don't you remember?
- Oh yeah, sure. Aunt Bea.

The old battle axe never has forgiven
her for not being there to meet her.

She better bump into
young Clarence soon.

Only five minutes left
till he leaves on the train.

Your attention please.

The : train from Boston has been
delayed. It will arrive at : a.m.

She's leaving. She won't see him.

You'd better do something,
Clarence.

- Excuse me, miss.
- Yes?

Your name wouldn't be Rosie,
would it? Rose O'Hara?

Why yes. How did you know?

Well, I met a young fellow here tonight
by the name of Clarence.

He showed me your picture.
That's how I recognised you.

Except the picture
didn't do you justice.

You're even prettier
than I remembered, Rosie.

I beg your pardon?

Well, please don't be offended, miss,
but this young man, Clarence,

he's about to make
an awful mistake.

He's got cold feet about the wedding.

What is this? Who are you?

Oh, I'm just an old fellow
who shared a drink with him.

You know how people talk.
Anyway, he's here.

He can't be.
It's his bachelor party tonight.

Well, he ran away.
That's what he told me.

And he's gonna keep running right on
to that midnight train for San Francisco

unless you can stop him.

I don't believe any of this.
If you'll excuse me--

Look, miss. I'm an old man
and I once had a sweetheart.

And I almost ran out on her
for the same reason.

And if I had I would have missed out
on the most wonderful life

and wonderful girl.

Don't let him make the mistake
I almost made.

- There he is right over there.
- It's Clarence.

Oh, Rosie, just one more thing.

You'll talk him out of it, I know you will.
And you'll have a nice life, you two.

Oh, he'll give you a lot of aggravation,
but he does love you.

Now, try to remember that.

And if some day,
when you get to be my age,

you find that the two of you
maybe forgot

how much
you once loved each other

you try to remember what an old man
told you a long time ago.

That deep inside
that crotchety old fool you're mad at

is the boy you're in love with
and who loves you very, very much.

Take me back, kid.

Take me back home.

- Well, is this business or pleasure?
- I beg your pardon?

Are you in town on business
or pleasure, sir?

I live in this town.

I broke up with my wife tonight.

I'm sorry.

Thank you, sir.
Would you like any ice?

Ice? No.

- No, I'm all iced out for the night.
- Right. Good night.

Good night.

Oh, great.

Front desk.

Hi. I seem to have forgotten
my toothbrush.

I wonder if by any chance...?

I'm sorry, sir.
The hotel gift shop is closed right now.

I guess I must have left without it.

I guess I wasn't thinking
about my teeth.

My wife--

She usually packs my things.

There's an all-night drugstore
not far from here.

Oh, no, that's all right. I don't know
why I was babbling on about my wife.

It's off of Fourth Street on Concord.
A-One dr*gs.

I guess I just wanted
somebody to talk to.

Pretty dumb. Anyway...

- Good night.
- Good night.

Hello?

- Reverend Smith?
- Yes.

This is Mrs. Kelly.

I'm sorry to be calling so late,
but you said--

It's all right. What's wrong?

Well...

I'm sorry. I thought I could handle this.

But I passed my husband's closet
and it's empty

and, well, I just started crying.

- I know, it's so stupid.
- No, no it's not.

I didn't wanna call my daughter.

I'm glad you called me.
I'll be right down.

- Oh, you don't have to do that.
- It's all right, Mrs. Kelly.

- I'll be there soon.
- Thank you.

Well, buddy,
you've done your job for the night.

Now let's see if I can do mine.
