7th Heaven s05e18 Episode Script
Apologize
Shoot.
Good job.
Good job, guys.
Why can't we play soccer? Yeah, we want to play soccer.
Well, we can't play soccer today because the field is too wet.
Why? Because it rained.
Why? Why did it rain? I asked you.
Hi, would I be in your way if I used the other end of the court? I just wanted to take a study break.
I just need ten, 15 minutes.
Sure, sure.
Something wrong? You look so much like a friend of mine.
You could be her twin.
Wilson! Mary! Look at Mary.
7th Heaven When I see their happy faces Smiling back at me 7th Heaven I know there's no greater feeling Than the love of family Where can you go When the world don't treat you right? The answer is home That's the one place that you'll find 7th Heaven Mmm, 7th Heaven 7th Heaven.
You gave them seven kids.
Can't you give them call waiting? Jeremy? No.
Oh, hi, Mary.
I thought Jeremy moved.
Fortunately, he took my number with him.
So, you two are what? Separated.
Well, I knew that.
You mean, what are we to each other? Yeah.
I don't know.
So, if someone else asked you out, would you go? I don't have that problem.
I have that problem.
Maybe you should talk to Matt.
He's had more experience with long-distance relationships.
I'll get him.
No, I don't want you to get Matt.
I want to talk to you.
Does it have to be me? Yes, you've had old boyfriends come back into your life before.
Well, it's just I don't want to hear anything that will put me in the middle.
I like Robbie.
Well, Robbie's not an old boyfriend.
He's the current boyfriend.
Who's the old boyfriend? Go way back.
Years back.
Am I supposed to guess? Well, how hard can it be? Wilson! Wilson called you? No, I ran into him at the train station.
He's doing an internship this quarter and going to school in the summer.
He says it's easier to get an internship that way.
But he had no idea I was in Buffalo, and I had no idea he was in Buffalo.
That's really wild.
Yeah, so what do I do about it? First of all, you should tell Robbie about it.
Let me speak to Mom.
I thought you wanted my advice.
I got your advice.
Now, I want a second opinion.
Mom, it's Mary! Don't let everyone in the house know I'm on the phone.
You remember our house, don't you? I'm not happy.
About what? I'm not Happy, our dog Happy.
It's not polite to just yell out my name and expect me to come running.
I'm sorry.
Thanks.
Mary needs you.
She's on the phone.
She needs some advice.
She ran into Wilson West at the train station today.
He's in Buffalo doing an internship.
Uh, you really should tell Robbie about this.
Long-distance relationships are really tricky.
It's good to tell Well, why can't I just tell Robbie that I bumped into Wilson and we were thinking about having dinner sometime? Do you understand 100%? Yes.
Do you understand telling the truth? Yes.
Put them together.
But it's just a dinner.
And do I have to tell Robbie every little thing all the time? Didn't we just cover this? It's Mary.
She ran into Wilson today in Buffalo.
He's doing an internship.
She's thinking about having dinner with him.
What's the part that you don't want to tell Robbie? The part where I felt happy to see Wilson.
She was happy to see Wilson.
I don't think you should tell Robbie that, but you should mention that you ran into Wilson and that you'd like to have dinner with him.
And depending on how that makes him feel, otherwise, you know, you might just have Wilson come over and visit at the colonel's.
That might seem a little less threatening.
But you let Mom go out with her old boyfriend.
We're married.
What's your point? That Robbie and I should get married and then I can go out to dinner with Wilson? What is so wrong with my having dinner with Wilson and not saying anything to Robbie about it? Oh so many things.
It's leaving out information.
It's lying by omission, and if you still have feelings for Wilson, then you're even lying to yourself because it's not just a dinner.
Why is everyone in here? We're talking to Mary.
She bumped into Wilson today.
And she's thinking about having dinner with him.
You can't have dinner with Wilson at least not without telling Robbie.
And who are you? It's me.
It's Simon.
I meant, and who are you to tell me what to do? Simon.
I had no idea you could dance.
Mary taught me.
Where is everyone anyway? They're all upstairs.
What are they all doing upstairs? Talking to Mary.
What's going on with Mary? I don't know.
But if she's going to call this much, she should just move back home.
It's Mary.
She's not calling from jail, is she? Oh, man, is she? Mary? Oh, hi.
So, so you're home.
Yeah, I just came in.
I was playing basketball with the little guys and the funniest thing happened.
What? This girl, this woman, what's a girl at 19? A woman.
Yeah, okay.
So, this woman comes up, taps me on the shoulder, I turn around, and it's you.
What? Yeah.
She plays basketball, she goes to college on a academic scholarship and she looks like she could be your twin.
So she's me, but a better me? I'm sorry, what part of this is funny? No, she's not better.
I didn't say she was better.
Yes, you did.
No, I didn't.
I wanted to tell you because Marie's dropping by here to give me her notes in Statistics.
"Marie"? She aced the course.
I'm having a little trouble with it.
Oh, really.
She saved everything, even the test.
It will be a big help.
I bet it'll be a big help.
It's like the Twilight Zone.
I'm telling you.
I wish you were here to meet her.
You have any idea what's going on with Mary? No, why? She just hung up on me for absolutely no reason.
There must be a reason.
Well, I'd like to know what it is.
I was just telling her about this girl, this woman I met named Marie who looks exactly like her.
And you don't think she should find this upsetting? Why would she? Take my word for it, long-distance relationships are very tricky.
You know, Mary's in Buffalo, she's all alone, she's working hard, she comes home, she talks to you and you spend the afternoon with a woman who looks just like her.
She's jealous, you moron.
And she's insecure.
Look, call her back.
Tell her, uh tell her you got hit in the head with a basketball and you dreamed the whole thing, and then stay far, far away from this Marie.
It's not that you're not passionate about your advice.
It's just that well, when was the last time you were in a relationship? When was the last time you even had a date? Hey, just because I don't bring home doppelgangers and my former girlfriends, doesn't mean I don't date, bucko.
If the invitation is still open, I would love to go out to dinner with you.
Oh, I'm afraid the invitation was to stay in for dinner.
I have to take care of Billy and we're in a new place and I don't want to leave him with a babysitter I don't know.
Then I would be happy to come over there.
You can't believe what a nice thing it was for me bumping into you like that.
I don't know anyone here and I'm working really hard and I'm so lonely I can hardly stand it.
Can't wait to see you.
Yeah, it'll be nice.
We can catch up.
And we can have a really nice dinner.
I've really learned how to cook.
Um, you're still crazy about spaghetti and meat sauce, right? Yes, I am.
Well, then come on over any time you like.
The sooner the better.
I'm on my way.
Do you think Mary will go out with Wilson? Well, it depends on what Robbie's reaction is.
If Robbie doesn't have a problem with it, then I'm sure Mary'll go have dinner with Wilson.
And if he does object? Then I'm even surer Mary will go have dinner with Wilson.
So you think she'll go out with Wilson? I hope not.
I don't think it's a good idea.
In fact, I think it's a really bad idea.
But either way, I hope she tells Robbie.
I think she won't tell Robbie anything.
I think she'll go out with Wilson.
And I think years from now, she'll end up married to Wilson.
Why do you think that? Because Mary likes doing what no one else wants her to do.
And you want to know what else I think? I'm afraid to ask.
I'll tell you I think Robbie'll find himself a nice girl and settle down, and soon.
And I think you're wrong.
I do, too.
Wilson is not a threat.
And Robbie probably wouldn't even mind if Mary went out to dinner with him.
Robbie's not the jealous type.
That's not my point at all.
I don't think Robbie's the jealous type, although Mary is the jealous type.
I just think that Robbie never had anything stable in his life.
So that's what he wants: Stability.
And Mary had stability all her life.
So now she wants something else, like a single, widowed, teenage dad.
Where do you get all of this? When I was little, I liked to snoop.
And now that I'm growing up, my snooping has turned into observing.
I'm very good at observing people.
I think you're a little overconfident, aren't you? We'll see.
Hi.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Unbelievable! Mary, Mary.
Mary, Mary! It's Marie.
No, you're Mary.
Take our word for it.
Mary.
Is Robbie home? If I had thought that statistics were going to be involved in teaching, then I probably would have picked another major.
But you said you aced the course.
Not without a lot of hard work.
What do you want to teach? I'll probably teach math.
But what I really want to do is coach high school basketball.
Getting involved in sports really changed my life.
Uh, Robbie, a word? Excuse me just for a moment? Th-This is this is sick.
What is sick? You're supposed to be in love with my sister.
I know.
Well, get rid of her.
I can't.
She just came by to drop off her stat notes.
She's doing me a favor.
But you're not that stupid when it comes to women.
She's not just loaning you her stat notes; She's hitting on you.
I don't think so.
You are that stupid.
Let me tell you who's gonna get hit: The guy who doesn't date.
Tell him to tell that Marie chick to get out of here.
Now.
Why? Why? Tell Dad why.
I don't know why.
Why? Why? That girl looks exactly like Mary.
I mean, what's next? I'll tell you what's next.
This boarder of ours brings home someone that looks like like you or you or Simon or Lucy or Ruthie or Sam and David, and then he's gonna bury you all in the backyard.
What about you? Well, no one looks like me.
Matt, maybe you should, uh Go and see that nice psychiatrist again.
Yes.
I don't need to see a psychiatrist.
I'm not crazy.
That girl looks exactly like Mary.
Well, not exactly, but she is amazingly similar, isn't she? Yes, similar.
She is.
I heard that everyone has, like, a cosmic twin somewhere in the world, but I didn't believe it until today.
She tapped me on the shoulder at the basketball court, and when I turned around, well, at first it was creepy No, I-it's still creepy.
And I want no part of this.
I'm going out.
Oh, and I suppose Dinner's almost ready.
That you're gonna ask Marie to stay for dinner.
Well, she did bring Robbie the notes, and I am going to take that class next summer This is a freak show.
It is! A freak show! And you guys are all guilty of paying to see the freak.
I think Matt is making a wee bit too much of this.
After all, she doesn't look exactly like Mary.
It's not as if you're substituting Marie for Mary, is it? No, I'm not and I told her she looks like my girlfriend.
Did you tell her your girlfriend lives 3,000 miles away? Yeah, but I don't think Marie's hitting on me.
I would know if she's hitting on me.
So she's just a friend, right? I just met her.
I don't know what she is.
Robbie says he just met her; He doesn't know what she is.
So maybe she's just a friend.
Or maybe she could be more, like his wife.
Oh, and Matt thinks that Robbie's gonna replace us all with look-a-likes.
Oh, and Dad thinks that Matt needs to see a shrink again.
I'll be back.
Let go! So, how was Mary when you talked to her? I'm afraid we didn't talk very long.
I insulted her by telling her I met someone who looks like her.
We kind of had a fight.
She hung up on me.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Mary didn't tell Robbie anything about Wilson.
And they had a fight about this Marie.
Everything I predicted is coming true.
I'm gifted.
This can't be happening.
I tried calling Mary, but either she's not home or she's not answering.
Or maybe we should call the colonel and ask where she is.
I think we all know where she is.
Not all of us, not Robbie.
All right, I need you to do me a favor.
I haven't seen Mary in a long time.
Me, neither.
You've had your dinner, and you're ready to go to sleep.
But I'm gonna let you stay up for a little while.
Then I want you to tell me you're sleepy and you want to watch cartoons while you fall asleep.
I want to watch Mary while I fall asleep.
Okay, look, look.
Just do what I ask, all right? Remember the deal: I'm the dad; You're the kid.
Get the door.
I'm sleepy.
I want to watch cartoons.
Come in.
Hey, you.
How you doing? How long would I have to wait for a table for one? Oh, it'll be a few minutes.
Um, we're really busy tonight.
Can I have your name? Uh, Camden.
Would that be Matt Camden? Big brother to Mary, Lucy, Simon, Ruthie, Sam and David Camden? Do I know you? We've never met, but you know me and I know you.
I'm Cheryl, Robbie's old girlfriend.
So you're Cheryl.
So, you're Matt.
So you want to wait? If it takes all night.
Ruthie, come down from the stairs and help me put dinner on.
I'm not up here anymore.
Come down here.
I talked to her, you know.
She's nice, real nice.
Yes, she is.
It's almost like a new and improved Mary.
If things work out the way I think they will, I could lose a sister and gain a a What would Marie be to me? Nothing.
She and Mary look a little alike, but it is not a new and improved Mary.
We love Mary.
Mary is family.
Mary is our flesh and blood.
You never had a kid you didn't know about, did you? There are seven of us.
Somebody could have gotten lost.
How about Dad? Does he have any kids he doesn't know about? Just go tell everybody dinner is ready.
My dad died when I was 11.
I'm sorry.
That must have been tough.
It was.
But my faith in God kept me going.
Dinner's ready, Mary I mean Marie.
She must really miss her big sister.
Yeah, well, we all do.
Especially Robbie.
Dinner's ready.
Well, what are you so happy about? This Marie thing is cracking me up.
I hope Matt's right.
What if Robbie brings home look-a-likes for all of us? That would be hysterical.
No, it wouldn't.
Yes, it would.
It's funny.
It's a funny thing.
Do you think Mary was cloned, like that sheep Dolly? I read about that in science.
It's totally a possibility.
No, I don't think she was cloned, and I think it's pretty disloyal to Mary to think that some woman who looks a little like her can just come in the house and take her place.
I'm sorry, but I'm not being disloyal to anyone; I'm being honest.
And I think if someone's being disloyal, it's Mary.
She's the one who's out sneaking around on Robbie.
I don't know why you find such delight in that.
My delight is in being right.
And I think my observations on Robbie and Mary and life in general are really good.
I had no idea how good until tonight.
What's going on? Nothing Nothing.
Nothing.
I like Marie.
Did you know she was All-State in basketball? And she's got a 4.
0 average in college.
I did.
So, I tried to call Mary, but I still didn't get an answer so, I tried calling the colonel.
The colonel said she went out to see an old friend.
Does anyone know what old friend that would be? I don't know.
Neither do I.
No one really knows for sure.
Well, who do you think she's out with? Look, if Mary went out with someone, I think Mary should tell you who she went out with.
But Mary didn't tell me.
And I'm getting the feeling she just picked a fight with me so she wouldn't feel guilty about going out.
So whoever it is, it must be someone I wouldn't want her out with.
Dinner's ready.
Fine, don't tell me.
Are you still having fun? Hey, I'm not making this stuff happen.
I'm just watching it happen.
And no, I'm not having as much fun as I was having a minute ago.
Mary's bound to hurt him and when she does, I just think he should have someone to go to.
Someone who looks like Mary.
I miss Mary, but I don't think she's coming back, and I think Marie is as close as we're going to get.
Sorry to keep you waiting for so long, but this is the best table for eating alone.
Thank you.
Um, do you get a break? A break? Well, maybe you could join me.
Actually, I'm not the hostess here.
I'm just filling in until she gets here.
I'm the night shift manager.
So, if you're asking me if I'll have dinner with you I'd love to.
I've never pictured you getting into trouble.
It wasn't any real trouble.
But I have to admit, it could have been.
I still can't believe I broke into a gym and wrecked it.
The gym where I played basketball all those years.
And I could have been the leader.
I could have stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, but this is wrong.
" And I didn't.
I just, I just went along with everyone else.
And I did something that completely changed my life.
I guess we have something in common.
I know all too well how one night can change your life.
You got your life right back together.
It may have seemed like I did, but I didn't.
I worked on my life one day at a time.
I still mourn for Billy's mother, and I'm still working on getting over her death.
But you finished high school, and you're in college and you're working at this internship which will lead to a great job.
Mary, I have to do the best I can.
I have to be the best person I can be.
I have to do it for Billy.
And you have to do the same for you.
I think that I have to tell you that I have a boyfriend.
Here in Buffalo? No, back home.
In Glenoak? Yeah, in Glenoak, at my home.
Robbie lives with my family.
Is he planning to move out here? No.
Are you planning to move back there? No.
Long-distance relationships don't usually work out.
I know.
Oh wow, I'd better be going.
Um, yeah, did you drive over? No, I don't have a car, but the colonel dropped me off at the train station and I took a taxi over here.
I'd like to drive you back to the train station, but It's okay.
If you could just call me a taxi, that would be fine.
Sure.
It was really great seeing you again.
Yeah, you, too.
You know, Mary, I think we've been apart from each other long enough that we really could be friends.
And if you're not available to pursue a relationship that's more than that, I'd be happy to be friends.
I ate too much.
I did, too.
The food is good here.
Even though I eat here almost every night, I never get tired of it.
I'd might like to eat here every night.
It's free for employees.
Well, I have a job.
So, what did you have in mind? You.
Oh, we couldn't.
Yeah, we could.
Are you doing this because you hate Robbie or something? No, I admit I'm angry with Robbie tonight, but no, I don't hate him.
And in fact, I'm really impressed with the way he's pulling his life together with his commitment to school and the way he handles two jobs and the rest of his life.
I don't entirely trust him, but he's an okay guy.
We were together for a long time.
I think he's an okay guy, too.
Good.
So, we both have something in common.
We both like Robbie.
We can't go out with each other just because we both like my old boyfriend.
Oh, could we go out just because I like you? It's just that I think you may know too much about me and that makes me a little nervous.
The false pregnancy? You think I might be hitting on you just because I know you've had sex? Sure, whatever happened between you and Robbie is none of my business.
I'm not trying to take advantage of you and what I know about your past.
So, what are you trying to do? I'm just trying to find a woman I can have a relationship with.
I don't know how many other guys you've dated, but I've dated enough women to know that when I can enjoy a meal with a woman, there's a possibility I can enjoy my life with her.
I mean, look, we are both members of the Clean Plate Club.
This isn't a date.
And I really should be getting back to work.
And if you want to go out with me, then I want to be treated like any other woman you'd go out with.
I want to be treated with respect.
Call me ahead of time.
Ask me out for something nice, then take me home.
And don't even expect a good night kiss.
I have no problem with that.
But do you think I might be able to get your phone number? Thanks for coming over and bringing me your notes.
They'll be a big help.
I was happy to help.
So, maybe I'll see you at the basketball courts tomorrow.
If the soccer fields are still wet.
Look earlier tonight I made Mary upset by telling her I met a woman who looks like her.
I hope I haven't been rude or anything, but I haven't been able to get her back on the phone and I really care about her.
It's kind of hard having a friend of the opposite sex when you're in a long-distance relationship.
I'm sorry.
I feel like I've taken advantage of you even by taking those notes.
Maybe I should give them back.
Oh, no.
I wish I could meet a guy like you.
You're so nice.
Please, keep the notes.
No obligation except I would like them back after Annie is finished with them.
That's really nice of you.
Thanks.
Good night.
Good night.
Come in.
I think Mary may be out with Wilson.
She is.
Does everyone know she's out with Wilson but me? She called this afternoon.
She told us she bumped into him and she was thinking about having dinner with him.
We all told her, all of us, that she talk to you and let you know what's going on.
So, I was right.
She picked a fight with me so she wouldn't feel guilty when she went out without telling me.
Unbelievable! I think you should wait and get all the facts before you get too upset.
I mean, she could have been out of the house for a lot of other reasons.
I talked to the colonel.
He said Mary went out with an old friend.
I didn't realize you talked to the colonel.
Wilson is just an old friend.
I don't think he's any competition.
Oh, what the heck.
I had dinner with Marie.
Why did you have to go and teach me what's right and what's wrong? Because I know what I did is questionable, but what she did is just wrong.
She's not on solid ground yet Mary.
My guess is, she's going to feel terribly guilty.
She's going to call and apologize and realize it wasn't worth risking her relationship with you to have dinner with an old friend.
By the way, if she had asked you about it, what would you have said? No.
I don't want Mary out with an old boyfriend when she's 3,000 miles away from me.
I want her to come home.
Can't she just come home? We've discussed that with her.
She can come home.
We're not keeping her from coming home.
But we want it to be her decision.
Because only Mary knows she should be home or not.
Good evening.
How may I help you? It's for you.
Hello.
Hi, this is Matt Camden.
Look, I would have called you on your cell phone, but, uh, I figured you were still at work.
I'm sorry to call at the last minute like this, but I was in the neighborhood and I was wondering if you would like to catch a late movie when you got off from work.
I thought you left.
I couldn't.
I told you to call in advance if you wanted to go out with me.
I did.
You don't get off till midnight.
That's three hours from now.
You can't hang around here for three more hours.
Well, I'm going to the library to study; Then I'll be back.
I don't know.
Don't make a big deal of this.
It's just a movie.
Okay.
So, what do you think is going to happen now? The same thing I thought before.
I don't want to be right, but I'm right.
Jeremy never called me back after his interview.
What interview? He had an interview at this school, Niagara University.
He was going to call me.
He's probably on his way back to the city.
Probably.
Where is that school? I don't know.
Somewhere around New York, I would assume.
Never heard of it.
I haven't either.
But Jeremy says it's a good school.
I hope he calls me before I go to bed.
Mary's still not home yet and Robbie's really upset with her.
Again.
I don't want to be right, but Don't worry.
I'm not a freak or anything.
I'm just a student.
I had an interview at Niagara.
Trying to get back to the city tonight.
I got on the train going the wrong way and I had to get off here, and wait for the next one.
Well, it should be here in about ten minutes.
Thanks, I was beginning to wonder.
What did you think of the movie? It was okay until that guy waxed his legs.
I thought that was cute.
Would you like guys who wax their legs? I like guys who understand women.
Well, I understand women.
Yet, from what I heard, you don't understand them enough to get attached to them.
Oh, I attach plenty.
I almost got married.
Heather.
Okay, so you know about Heather.
But did you know that I was also attached to another woman for a very long time? Shauna.
But she was attached to the guy in New York more.
Yeah, well, how about, um I think those are the only two women you've been out with more than once.
Unless you go out with me again.
I'll have to think about it.
I'll wax my legs.
If I go out with you again, I'll wax your legs.
Ouch.
You know it's always awkward until that first kiss.
I like awkward.
It suits us.
You got in late last night.
I must have really made you angry.
I guess I kind of overreacted.
I didn't mean to run you out of your own house.
That's okay.
I, you know, went to the library.
Saw a late movie.
I wish I had gone with you.
I should have taken your advice.
I don't need to be hanging out with another woman, especially a woman who looks that much like Mary.
So, you're not going to be friends with Marie? No.
Mary had dinner with Wilson last night.
Wilson? But she told you about it.
No.
She told everyone else in the family.
Well, she didn't tell me.
I mean, have you talked to her? I didn't want to keep calling her last night.
Evidently, she was out pretty late.
Well, you know, it's, uh, probably very hard to talk about old girlfriends.
I, I, I mean old boyfriends with you.
That kind of thing would be very hard to talk about.
Only if you still had feelings for the old boyfriend.
I see.
So, for instance, if someone were to talk to you about Cheryl, you Wouldn't want to talk about her.
Meaning you still have feelings for her? I don't love her, but I did love her, and there hasn't been enough time since we split up for me to be completely neutral.
Why are we talking about Cheryl anyway? Well, I don't know.
But here's the thing.
You know, Mary and Wilson have been apart for a very long time so she's probably neutral.
She probably has no feelings left whatsoever.
It was probably just dinner and a movie.
You think they went to a movie, too? No, no, no.
Just call her.
You know, get it over with.
Get everything out in the open.
You know, if you're going to make a go of it with Mary, you're going to have to work hard.
Make it happen.
Hey, Ruthie.
Is Matt acting a little weird? He's acting a little guilty if you ask me.
Guilty.
You don't think he'd be going out with nah It's too crazy.
Who's too crazy to go out with Matt? Never mind.
I just flashed on the possibility of Matt and Cheryl.
That is crazy.
So, you don't think he could have been out with her? Never.
Believe me, they're not the opposites who attract.
Take my word for it.
I'm cursed with insights about people.
Most of your insight comes from spying.
It's kind of a transitional period for me.
You hear anything? I'll let you know.
Oh, I was, uh, going to use the phone.
Oh, there are phones all over the house.
Well, I wanted some privacy.
Uh, I was going to call Mary.
How come no one told me she was going out with Wilson last night? Why? What were you going to do about it? Well, someone has to talk to these two.
I figured since I've blown a couple of long-distance relationships that I should be the one to do it.
Oh you came home awfully late last night.
Library.
Oh.
I saw a late movie.
Oh.
What? Nothing.
Help yourself to the phone.
Oh, if you're just calling Mary I can't imagine why you need this much privacy.
Could you have him call me when he gets home from school? Do you think anyone ever tells the whole truth and nothing but the truth about his or her life? You hiding something? It was a rhetorical question.
All I can tell you is that the part of you I know is a truly lovely man and there is no one else like you in the world.
Hey, would you watch Sam and David for five minutes while I get a shower? Sure.
Have you heard from Jeremy? No.
Sorry.
He'll call.
What's the point? He's in New York and he's probably going to end up going to school in New York while I'm stuck out here.
Luce, you don't know where the two of you will end up.
I mean, you really like this guy and if he didn't like you, he didn't have to call you after he moved.
It just feels hopeless, Simon.
I mean, who knows, somewhere in New York there may be my Marie, a girl who looks like me, but who's even better for him.
Stop it, all right? Just stop it.
There's no one in the world who looks like you and there's no one in the world who's better than you.
Thanks.
And there's no one in the world who looks like you and who's better than you.
Thanks.
Do you think there's any chance that Ruthie could be right? Do you think Robbie will end up with Marie and Mary will end up with someone else? Who knows? A lot depends on Robbie and Mary's next conversation.
I was just, uh, waiting to use the phone.
I want to talk to Mary.
I think I should be the one to talk to Mary.
You're probably right.
Here.
Hello.
I heard you were out with Wilson.
And how's your little friend, Marie? We're not friends.
And we're not going to be friends.
I don't want to jeopardize my relationship with you for some woman I don't even know.
Let me just cut to the chase.
I think you should apologize to me for what was essentially lying.
You should have told me you were going out with Wilson.
You told everyone else.
Are you going to see him again? Mary, I think you should come home.
I'm sorry, Robbie.
I'm not ready to come home.
Good job.
Good job, guys.
Why can't we play soccer? Yeah, we want to play soccer.
Well, we can't play soccer today because the field is too wet.
Why? Because it rained.
Why? Why did it rain? I asked you.
Hi, would I be in your way if I used the other end of the court? I just wanted to take a study break.
I just need ten, 15 minutes.
Sure, sure.
Something wrong? You look so much like a friend of mine.
You could be her twin.
Wilson! Mary! Look at Mary.
7th Heaven When I see their happy faces Smiling back at me 7th Heaven I know there's no greater feeling Than the love of family Where can you go When the world don't treat you right? The answer is home That's the one place that you'll find 7th Heaven Mmm, 7th Heaven 7th Heaven.
You gave them seven kids.
Can't you give them call waiting? Jeremy? No.
Oh, hi, Mary.
I thought Jeremy moved.
Fortunately, he took my number with him.
So, you two are what? Separated.
Well, I knew that.
You mean, what are we to each other? Yeah.
I don't know.
So, if someone else asked you out, would you go? I don't have that problem.
I have that problem.
Maybe you should talk to Matt.
He's had more experience with long-distance relationships.
I'll get him.
No, I don't want you to get Matt.
I want to talk to you.
Does it have to be me? Yes, you've had old boyfriends come back into your life before.
Well, it's just I don't want to hear anything that will put me in the middle.
I like Robbie.
Well, Robbie's not an old boyfriend.
He's the current boyfriend.
Who's the old boyfriend? Go way back.
Years back.
Am I supposed to guess? Well, how hard can it be? Wilson! Wilson called you? No, I ran into him at the train station.
He's doing an internship this quarter and going to school in the summer.
He says it's easier to get an internship that way.
But he had no idea I was in Buffalo, and I had no idea he was in Buffalo.
That's really wild.
Yeah, so what do I do about it? First of all, you should tell Robbie about it.
Let me speak to Mom.
I thought you wanted my advice.
I got your advice.
Now, I want a second opinion.
Mom, it's Mary! Don't let everyone in the house know I'm on the phone.
You remember our house, don't you? I'm not happy.
About what? I'm not Happy, our dog Happy.
It's not polite to just yell out my name and expect me to come running.
I'm sorry.
Thanks.
Mary needs you.
She's on the phone.
She needs some advice.
She ran into Wilson West at the train station today.
He's in Buffalo doing an internship.
Uh, you really should tell Robbie about this.
Long-distance relationships are really tricky.
It's good to tell Well, why can't I just tell Robbie that I bumped into Wilson and we were thinking about having dinner sometime? Do you understand 100%? Yes.
Do you understand telling the truth? Yes.
Put them together.
But it's just a dinner.
And do I have to tell Robbie every little thing all the time? Didn't we just cover this? It's Mary.
She ran into Wilson today in Buffalo.
He's doing an internship.
She's thinking about having dinner with him.
What's the part that you don't want to tell Robbie? The part where I felt happy to see Wilson.
She was happy to see Wilson.
I don't think you should tell Robbie that, but you should mention that you ran into Wilson and that you'd like to have dinner with him.
And depending on how that makes him feel, otherwise, you know, you might just have Wilson come over and visit at the colonel's.
That might seem a little less threatening.
But you let Mom go out with her old boyfriend.
We're married.
What's your point? That Robbie and I should get married and then I can go out to dinner with Wilson? What is so wrong with my having dinner with Wilson and not saying anything to Robbie about it? Oh so many things.
It's leaving out information.
It's lying by omission, and if you still have feelings for Wilson, then you're even lying to yourself because it's not just a dinner.
Why is everyone in here? We're talking to Mary.
She bumped into Wilson today.
And she's thinking about having dinner with him.
You can't have dinner with Wilson at least not without telling Robbie.
And who are you? It's me.
It's Simon.
I meant, and who are you to tell me what to do? Simon.
I had no idea you could dance.
Mary taught me.
Where is everyone anyway? They're all upstairs.
What are they all doing upstairs? Talking to Mary.
What's going on with Mary? I don't know.
But if she's going to call this much, she should just move back home.
It's Mary.
She's not calling from jail, is she? Oh, man, is she? Mary? Oh, hi.
So, so you're home.
Yeah, I just came in.
I was playing basketball with the little guys and the funniest thing happened.
What? This girl, this woman, what's a girl at 19? A woman.
Yeah, okay.
So, this woman comes up, taps me on the shoulder, I turn around, and it's you.
What? Yeah.
She plays basketball, she goes to college on a academic scholarship and she looks like she could be your twin.
So she's me, but a better me? I'm sorry, what part of this is funny? No, she's not better.
I didn't say she was better.
Yes, you did.
No, I didn't.
I wanted to tell you because Marie's dropping by here to give me her notes in Statistics.
"Marie"? She aced the course.
I'm having a little trouble with it.
Oh, really.
She saved everything, even the test.
It will be a big help.
I bet it'll be a big help.
It's like the Twilight Zone.
I'm telling you.
I wish you were here to meet her.
You have any idea what's going on with Mary? No, why? She just hung up on me for absolutely no reason.
There must be a reason.
Well, I'd like to know what it is.
I was just telling her about this girl, this woman I met named Marie who looks exactly like her.
And you don't think she should find this upsetting? Why would she? Take my word for it, long-distance relationships are very tricky.
You know, Mary's in Buffalo, she's all alone, she's working hard, she comes home, she talks to you and you spend the afternoon with a woman who looks just like her.
She's jealous, you moron.
And she's insecure.
Look, call her back.
Tell her, uh tell her you got hit in the head with a basketball and you dreamed the whole thing, and then stay far, far away from this Marie.
It's not that you're not passionate about your advice.
It's just that well, when was the last time you were in a relationship? When was the last time you even had a date? Hey, just because I don't bring home doppelgangers and my former girlfriends, doesn't mean I don't date, bucko.
If the invitation is still open, I would love to go out to dinner with you.
Oh, I'm afraid the invitation was to stay in for dinner.
I have to take care of Billy and we're in a new place and I don't want to leave him with a babysitter I don't know.
Then I would be happy to come over there.
You can't believe what a nice thing it was for me bumping into you like that.
I don't know anyone here and I'm working really hard and I'm so lonely I can hardly stand it.
Can't wait to see you.
Yeah, it'll be nice.
We can catch up.
And we can have a really nice dinner.
I've really learned how to cook.
Um, you're still crazy about spaghetti and meat sauce, right? Yes, I am.
Well, then come on over any time you like.
The sooner the better.
I'm on my way.
Do you think Mary will go out with Wilson? Well, it depends on what Robbie's reaction is.
If Robbie doesn't have a problem with it, then I'm sure Mary'll go have dinner with Wilson.
And if he does object? Then I'm even surer Mary will go have dinner with Wilson.
So you think she'll go out with Wilson? I hope not.
I don't think it's a good idea.
In fact, I think it's a really bad idea.
But either way, I hope she tells Robbie.
I think she won't tell Robbie anything.
I think she'll go out with Wilson.
And I think years from now, she'll end up married to Wilson.
Why do you think that? Because Mary likes doing what no one else wants her to do.
And you want to know what else I think? I'm afraid to ask.
I'll tell you I think Robbie'll find himself a nice girl and settle down, and soon.
And I think you're wrong.
I do, too.
Wilson is not a threat.
And Robbie probably wouldn't even mind if Mary went out to dinner with him.
Robbie's not the jealous type.
That's not my point at all.
I don't think Robbie's the jealous type, although Mary is the jealous type.
I just think that Robbie never had anything stable in his life.
So that's what he wants: Stability.
And Mary had stability all her life.
So now she wants something else, like a single, widowed, teenage dad.
Where do you get all of this? When I was little, I liked to snoop.
And now that I'm growing up, my snooping has turned into observing.
I'm very good at observing people.
I think you're a little overconfident, aren't you? We'll see.
Hi.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Unbelievable! Mary, Mary.
Mary, Mary! It's Marie.
No, you're Mary.
Take our word for it.
Mary.
Is Robbie home? If I had thought that statistics were going to be involved in teaching, then I probably would have picked another major.
But you said you aced the course.
Not without a lot of hard work.
What do you want to teach? I'll probably teach math.
But what I really want to do is coach high school basketball.
Getting involved in sports really changed my life.
Uh, Robbie, a word? Excuse me just for a moment? Th-This is this is sick.
What is sick? You're supposed to be in love with my sister.
I know.
Well, get rid of her.
I can't.
She just came by to drop off her stat notes.
She's doing me a favor.
But you're not that stupid when it comes to women.
She's not just loaning you her stat notes; She's hitting on you.
I don't think so.
You are that stupid.
Let me tell you who's gonna get hit: The guy who doesn't date.
Tell him to tell that Marie chick to get out of here.
Now.
Why? Why? Tell Dad why.
I don't know why.
Why? Why? That girl looks exactly like Mary.
I mean, what's next? I'll tell you what's next.
This boarder of ours brings home someone that looks like like you or you or Simon or Lucy or Ruthie or Sam and David, and then he's gonna bury you all in the backyard.
What about you? Well, no one looks like me.
Matt, maybe you should, uh Go and see that nice psychiatrist again.
Yes.
I don't need to see a psychiatrist.
I'm not crazy.
That girl looks exactly like Mary.
Well, not exactly, but she is amazingly similar, isn't she? Yes, similar.
She is.
I heard that everyone has, like, a cosmic twin somewhere in the world, but I didn't believe it until today.
She tapped me on the shoulder at the basketball court, and when I turned around, well, at first it was creepy No, I-it's still creepy.
And I want no part of this.
I'm going out.
Oh, and I suppose Dinner's almost ready.
That you're gonna ask Marie to stay for dinner.
Well, she did bring Robbie the notes, and I am going to take that class next summer This is a freak show.
It is! A freak show! And you guys are all guilty of paying to see the freak.
I think Matt is making a wee bit too much of this.
After all, she doesn't look exactly like Mary.
It's not as if you're substituting Marie for Mary, is it? No, I'm not and I told her she looks like my girlfriend.
Did you tell her your girlfriend lives 3,000 miles away? Yeah, but I don't think Marie's hitting on me.
I would know if she's hitting on me.
So she's just a friend, right? I just met her.
I don't know what she is.
Robbie says he just met her; He doesn't know what she is.
So maybe she's just a friend.
Or maybe she could be more, like his wife.
Oh, and Matt thinks that Robbie's gonna replace us all with look-a-likes.
Oh, and Dad thinks that Matt needs to see a shrink again.
I'll be back.
Let go! So, how was Mary when you talked to her? I'm afraid we didn't talk very long.
I insulted her by telling her I met someone who looks like her.
We kind of had a fight.
She hung up on me.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Mary didn't tell Robbie anything about Wilson.
And they had a fight about this Marie.
Everything I predicted is coming true.
I'm gifted.
This can't be happening.
I tried calling Mary, but either she's not home or she's not answering.
Or maybe we should call the colonel and ask where she is.
I think we all know where she is.
Not all of us, not Robbie.
All right, I need you to do me a favor.
I haven't seen Mary in a long time.
Me, neither.
You've had your dinner, and you're ready to go to sleep.
But I'm gonna let you stay up for a little while.
Then I want you to tell me you're sleepy and you want to watch cartoons while you fall asleep.
I want to watch Mary while I fall asleep.
Okay, look, look.
Just do what I ask, all right? Remember the deal: I'm the dad; You're the kid.
Get the door.
I'm sleepy.
I want to watch cartoons.
Come in.
Hey, you.
How you doing? How long would I have to wait for a table for one? Oh, it'll be a few minutes.
Um, we're really busy tonight.
Can I have your name? Uh, Camden.
Would that be Matt Camden? Big brother to Mary, Lucy, Simon, Ruthie, Sam and David Camden? Do I know you? We've never met, but you know me and I know you.
I'm Cheryl, Robbie's old girlfriend.
So you're Cheryl.
So, you're Matt.
So you want to wait? If it takes all night.
Ruthie, come down from the stairs and help me put dinner on.
I'm not up here anymore.
Come down here.
I talked to her, you know.
She's nice, real nice.
Yes, she is.
It's almost like a new and improved Mary.
If things work out the way I think they will, I could lose a sister and gain a a What would Marie be to me? Nothing.
She and Mary look a little alike, but it is not a new and improved Mary.
We love Mary.
Mary is family.
Mary is our flesh and blood.
You never had a kid you didn't know about, did you? There are seven of us.
Somebody could have gotten lost.
How about Dad? Does he have any kids he doesn't know about? Just go tell everybody dinner is ready.
My dad died when I was 11.
I'm sorry.
That must have been tough.
It was.
But my faith in God kept me going.
Dinner's ready, Mary I mean Marie.
She must really miss her big sister.
Yeah, well, we all do.
Especially Robbie.
Dinner's ready.
Well, what are you so happy about? This Marie thing is cracking me up.
I hope Matt's right.
What if Robbie brings home look-a-likes for all of us? That would be hysterical.
No, it wouldn't.
Yes, it would.
It's funny.
It's a funny thing.
Do you think Mary was cloned, like that sheep Dolly? I read about that in science.
It's totally a possibility.
No, I don't think she was cloned, and I think it's pretty disloyal to Mary to think that some woman who looks a little like her can just come in the house and take her place.
I'm sorry, but I'm not being disloyal to anyone; I'm being honest.
And I think if someone's being disloyal, it's Mary.
She's the one who's out sneaking around on Robbie.
I don't know why you find such delight in that.
My delight is in being right.
And I think my observations on Robbie and Mary and life in general are really good.
I had no idea how good until tonight.
What's going on? Nothing Nothing.
Nothing.
I like Marie.
Did you know she was All-State in basketball? And she's got a 4.
0 average in college.
I did.
So, I tried to call Mary, but I still didn't get an answer so, I tried calling the colonel.
The colonel said she went out to see an old friend.
Does anyone know what old friend that would be? I don't know.
Neither do I.
No one really knows for sure.
Well, who do you think she's out with? Look, if Mary went out with someone, I think Mary should tell you who she went out with.
But Mary didn't tell me.
And I'm getting the feeling she just picked a fight with me so she wouldn't feel guilty about going out.
So whoever it is, it must be someone I wouldn't want her out with.
Dinner's ready.
Fine, don't tell me.
Are you still having fun? Hey, I'm not making this stuff happen.
I'm just watching it happen.
And no, I'm not having as much fun as I was having a minute ago.
Mary's bound to hurt him and when she does, I just think he should have someone to go to.
Someone who looks like Mary.
I miss Mary, but I don't think she's coming back, and I think Marie is as close as we're going to get.
Sorry to keep you waiting for so long, but this is the best table for eating alone.
Thank you.
Um, do you get a break? A break? Well, maybe you could join me.
Actually, I'm not the hostess here.
I'm just filling in until she gets here.
I'm the night shift manager.
So, if you're asking me if I'll have dinner with you I'd love to.
I've never pictured you getting into trouble.
It wasn't any real trouble.
But I have to admit, it could have been.
I still can't believe I broke into a gym and wrecked it.
The gym where I played basketball all those years.
And I could have been the leader.
I could have stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, but this is wrong.
" And I didn't.
I just, I just went along with everyone else.
And I did something that completely changed my life.
I guess we have something in common.
I know all too well how one night can change your life.
You got your life right back together.
It may have seemed like I did, but I didn't.
I worked on my life one day at a time.
I still mourn for Billy's mother, and I'm still working on getting over her death.
But you finished high school, and you're in college and you're working at this internship which will lead to a great job.
Mary, I have to do the best I can.
I have to be the best person I can be.
I have to do it for Billy.
And you have to do the same for you.
I think that I have to tell you that I have a boyfriend.
Here in Buffalo? No, back home.
In Glenoak? Yeah, in Glenoak, at my home.
Robbie lives with my family.
Is he planning to move out here? No.
Are you planning to move back there? No.
Long-distance relationships don't usually work out.
I know.
Oh wow, I'd better be going.
Um, yeah, did you drive over? No, I don't have a car, but the colonel dropped me off at the train station and I took a taxi over here.
I'd like to drive you back to the train station, but It's okay.
If you could just call me a taxi, that would be fine.
Sure.
It was really great seeing you again.
Yeah, you, too.
You know, Mary, I think we've been apart from each other long enough that we really could be friends.
And if you're not available to pursue a relationship that's more than that, I'd be happy to be friends.
I ate too much.
I did, too.
The food is good here.
Even though I eat here almost every night, I never get tired of it.
I'd might like to eat here every night.
It's free for employees.
Well, I have a job.
So, what did you have in mind? You.
Oh, we couldn't.
Yeah, we could.
Are you doing this because you hate Robbie or something? No, I admit I'm angry with Robbie tonight, but no, I don't hate him.
And in fact, I'm really impressed with the way he's pulling his life together with his commitment to school and the way he handles two jobs and the rest of his life.
I don't entirely trust him, but he's an okay guy.
We were together for a long time.
I think he's an okay guy, too.
Good.
So, we both have something in common.
We both like Robbie.
We can't go out with each other just because we both like my old boyfriend.
Oh, could we go out just because I like you? It's just that I think you may know too much about me and that makes me a little nervous.
The false pregnancy? You think I might be hitting on you just because I know you've had sex? Sure, whatever happened between you and Robbie is none of my business.
I'm not trying to take advantage of you and what I know about your past.
So, what are you trying to do? I'm just trying to find a woman I can have a relationship with.
I don't know how many other guys you've dated, but I've dated enough women to know that when I can enjoy a meal with a woman, there's a possibility I can enjoy my life with her.
I mean, look, we are both members of the Clean Plate Club.
This isn't a date.
And I really should be getting back to work.
And if you want to go out with me, then I want to be treated like any other woman you'd go out with.
I want to be treated with respect.
Call me ahead of time.
Ask me out for something nice, then take me home.
And don't even expect a good night kiss.
I have no problem with that.
But do you think I might be able to get your phone number? Thanks for coming over and bringing me your notes.
They'll be a big help.
I was happy to help.
So, maybe I'll see you at the basketball courts tomorrow.
If the soccer fields are still wet.
Look earlier tonight I made Mary upset by telling her I met a woman who looks like her.
I hope I haven't been rude or anything, but I haven't been able to get her back on the phone and I really care about her.
It's kind of hard having a friend of the opposite sex when you're in a long-distance relationship.
I'm sorry.
I feel like I've taken advantage of you even by taking those notes.
Maybe I should give them back.
Oh, no.
I wish I could meet a guy like you.
You're so nice.
Please, keep the notes.
No obligation except I would like them back after Annie is finished with them.
That's really nice of you.
Thanks.
Good night.
Good night.
Come in.
I think Mary may be out with Wilson.
She is.
Does everyone know she's out with Wilson but me? She called this afternoon.
She told us she bumped into him and she was thinking about having dinner with him.
We all told her, all of us, that she talk to you and let you know what's going on.
So, I was right.
She picked a fight with me so she wouldn't feel guilty when she went out without telling me.
Unbelievable! I think you should wait and get all the facts before you get too upset.
I mean, she could have been out of the house for a lot of other reasons.
I talked to the colonel.
He said Mary went out with an old friend.
I didn't realize you talked to the colonel.
Wilson is just an old friend.
I don't think he's any competition.
Oh, what the heck.
I had dinner with Marie.
Why did you have to go and teach me what's right and what's wrong? Because I know what I did is questionable, but what she did is just wrong.
She's not on solid ground yet Mary.
My guess is, she's going to feel terribly guilty.
She's going to call and apologize and realize it wasn't worth risking her relationship with you to have dinner with an old friend.
By the way, if she had asked you about it, what would you have said? No.
I don't want Mary out with an old boyfriend when she's 3,000 miles away from me.
I want her to come home.
Can't she just come home? We've discussed that with her.
She can come home.
We're not keeping her from coming home.
But we want it to be her decision.
Because only Mary knows she should be home or not.
Good evening.
How may I help you? It's for you.
Hello.
Hi, this is Matt Camden.
Look, I would have called you on your cell phone, but, uh, I figured you were still at work.
I'm sorry to call at the last minute like this, but I was in the neighborhood and I was wondering if you would like to catch a late movie when you got off from work.
I thought you left.
I couldn't.
I told you to call in advance if you wanted to go out with me.
I did.
You don't get off till midnight.
That's three hours from now.
You can't hang around here for three more hours.
Well, I'm going to the library to study; Then I'll be back.
I don't know.
Don't make a big deal of this.
It's just a movie.
Okay.
So, what do you think is going to happen now? The same thing I thought before.
I don't want to be right, but I'm right.
Jeremy never called me back after his interview.
What interview? He had an interview at this school, Niagara University.
He was going to call me.
He's probably on his way back to the city.
Probably.
Where is that school? I don't know.
Somewhere around New York, I would assume.
Never heard of it.
I haven't either.
But Jeremy says it's a good school.
I hope he calls me before I go to bed.
Mary's still not home yet and Robbie's really upset with her.
Again.
I don't want to be right, but Don't worry.
I'm not a freak or anything.
I'm just a student.
I had an interview at Niagara.
Trying to get back to the city tonight.
I got on the train going the wrong way and I had to get off here, and wait for the next one.
Well, it should be here in about ten minutes.
Thanks, I was beginning to wonder.
What did you think of the movie? It was okay until that guy waxed his legs.
I thought that was cute.
Would you like guys who wax their legs? I like guys who understand women.
Well, I understand women.
Yet, from what I heard, you don't understand them enough to get attached to them.
Oh, I attach plenty.
I almost got married.
Heather.
Okay, so you know about Heather.
But did you know that I was also attached to another woman for a very long time? Shauna.
But she was attached to the guy in New York more.
Yeah, well, how about, um I think those are the only two women you've been out with more than once.
Unless you go out with me again.
I'll have to think about it.
I'll wax my legs.
If I go out with you again, I'll wax your legs.
Ouch.
You know it's always awkward until that first kiss.
I like awkward.
It suits us.
You got in late last night.
I must have really made you angry.
I guess I kind of overreacted.
I didn't mean to run you out of your own house.
That's okay.
I, you know, went to the library.
Saw a late movie.
I wish I had gone with you.
I should have taken your advice.
I don't need to be hanging out with another woman, especially a woman who looks that much like Mary.
So, you're not going to be friends with Marie? No.
Mary had dinner with Wilson last night.
Wilson? But she told you about it.
No.
She told everyone else in the family.
Well, she didn't tell me.
I mean, have you talked to her? I didn't want to keep calling her last night.
Evidently, she was out pretty late.
Well, you know, it's, uh, probably very hard to talk about old girlfriends.
I, I, I mean old boyfriends with you.
That kind of thing would be very hard to talk about.
Only if you still had feelings for the old boyfriend.
I see.
So, for instance, if someone were to talk to you about Cheryl, you Wouldn't want to talk about her.
Meaning you still have feelings for her? I don't love her, but I did love her, and there hasn't been enough time since we split up for me to be completely neutral.
Why are we talking about Cheryl anyway? Well, I don't know.
But here's the thing.
You know, Mary and Wilson have been apart for a very long time so she's probably neutral.
She probably has no feelings left whatsoever.
It was probably just dinner and a movie.
You think they went to a movie, too? No, no, no.
Just call her.
You know, get it over with.
Get everything out in the open.
You know, if you're going to make a go of it with Mary, you're going to have to work hard.
Make it happen.
Hey, Ruthie.
Is Matt acting a little weird? He's acting a little guilty if you ask me.
Guilty.
You don't think he'd be going out with nah It's too crazy.
Who's too crazy to go out with Matt? Never mind.
I just flashed on the possibility of Matt and Cheryl.
That is crazy.
So, you don't think he could have been out with her? Never.
Believe me, they're not the opposites who attract.
Take my word for it.
I'm cursed with insights about people.
Most of your insight comes from spying.
It's kind of a transitional period for me.
You hear anything? I'll let you know.
Oh, I was, uh, going to use the phone.
Oh, there are phones all over the house.
Well, I wanted some privacy.
Uh, I was going to call Mary.
How come no one told me she was going out with Wilson last night? Why? What were you going to do about it? Well, someone has to talk to these two.
I figured since I've blown a couple of long-distance relationships that I should be the one to do it.
Oh you came home awfully late last night.
Library.
Oh.
I saw a late movie.
Oh.
What? Nothing.
Help yourself to the phone.
Oh, if you're just calling Mary I can't imagine why you need this much privacy.
Could you have him call me when he gets home from school? Do you think anyone ever tells the whole truth and nothing but the truth about his or her life? You hiding something? It was a rhetorical question.
All I can tell you is that the part of you I know is a truly lovely man and there is no one else like you in the world.
Hey, would you watch Sam and David for five minutes while I get a shower? Sure.
Have you heard from Jeremy? No.
Sorry.
He'll call.
What's the point? He's in New York and he's probably going to end up going to school in New York while I'm stuck out here.
Luce, you don't know where the two of you will end up.
I mean, you really like this guy and if he didn't like you, he didn't have to call you after he moved.
It just feels hopeless, Simon.
I mean, who knows, somewhere in New York there may be my Marie, a girl who looks like me, but who's even better for him.
Stop it, all right? Just stop it.
There's no one in the world who looks like you and there's no one in the world who's better than you.
Thanks.
And there's no one in the world who looks like you and who's better than you.
Thanks.
Do you think there's any chance that Ruthie could be right? Do you think Robbie will end up with Marie and Mary will end up with someone else? Who knows? A lot depends on Robbie and Mary's next conversation.
I was just, uh, waiting to use the phone.
I want to talk to Mary.
I think I should be the one to talk to Mary.
You're probably right.
Here.
Hello.
I heard you were out with Wilson.
And how's your little friend, Marie? We're not friends.
And we're not going to be friends.
I don't want to jeopardize my relationship with you for some woman I don't even know.
Let me just cut to the chase.
I think you should apologize to me for what was essentially lying.
You should have told me you were going out with Wilson.
You told everyone else.
Are you going to see him again? Mary, I think you should come home.
I'm sorry, Robbie.
I'm not ready to come home.
