Life-Size (2000) Movie Script
1
Here's Eve at
the Sand and Sea Club.
Let's catch a wave!
Press the button on Eve's back,
and she talks to you.
Remember, don't pollute our oceans.
Watch Eve drive her Fun 'N' Sun
convertible to the mall
and see what this lady can do.
Shine bright, shine far
Be a star
Where you live
Where you are, be a star
It's fun to dress up!
I look awesome!
Love animals, don't wear them.
Where you live
Where you are, be a star
Now Eve's ready to come home to Sunnyvale,
where the sun always shines.
Then pick a career for Eve.
She does it all.
Take Eve home and watch her
sparkle and shine.
Like the song says
Be a star
I'm Eve, and you're my special friend.
- How about one of those?
- No way! I don't want a doll.
I want something with microchips.
I don't get it, Sam.
Used to be, we couldn't keep
dolls on the shelf.
Now all those kids want is high-tech this
and high-tech that.
Here we go!
- You dropped the ball again!
- You throw like a girl!
Hey, break it up! Break it up!
Stuart, off the field now!
You too, Weiner!
Go play with your dolls, case-oid.
Get a life, Weiner-head.
I hate dolls as much as I hate you.
Casey, this behavior has to stop.
It's a game, remember?
3:00? Oh, no!
I missed Casey's game again.
Oh
I'm going for a perfect record.
Don't be so hard on yourself.
I'm sure she knows you love her.
That's what counts.
Yeah, remember all those Sundays
you spent teaching Casey
how to pass a football
when you could've been with me,
pigging out on pizza, watchin' the NFL?
Well, that was a while ago.
Things have changed.
Well, come have some lunch with us.
We'll cheer you up.
No, thanks. I'm gonna eat here.
Okay, Ben,
trying to make partner is one thing,
but you are working way too hard.
What if I cook a fabulous
dinner tomorrow night
for you and Casey at my place?
I guarantee it'll be Tofu-free.
I can't. Tomorrow is Casey's birthday,
and I promised we'd have dinner
just me and her.
That's so sweet.
See? You are a great dad.
Okay, well, give Casey
a big birthday kiss for me.
- I will.
- I'll see you down there.
Hoo-hoo!
You are in there, buddy.
She's only been here six months.
Already, she wants to cook for you.
Richie, Drew's great.
- I'm just not ready, okay?
- You've been saying that for two years.
You need to loosen up,
have some fun again.
Karen would've wanted you to move on
For you and for Casey.
"The Mysticism and spells web site."
"Resurrection."
"Looking to bring back a lost soul?
Try Holcroft's Book of the Dead,
long believed to contain mystical powers.
Type in your city to find a copy
at a bookstore nearest you."
"Past Pages bookstore."
Looks like we're both working late.
What are you doin'?
Oh, nothing. Just surfing.
Good night.
I should've been there.
I'm sorry.
You wore out "Sorry" a long time ago.
Did you win?
We're in the championships Wednesday.
Congratulations.
I know. You promise to be there, right?
Casey, I realize
this is hard to understand,
but making partner means a lot to me
- and to us.
- I understand!
I'm not a little kid anymore!
I know you're not.
Hey!
Tomorrow's our special dinner, right?
How about Sunday, you and I
spend the whole day together
just you and me for your birthday?
Okay?
Sure, Dad.
Dad
Does everything happen for a reason?
Sometimes
Things just happen, sweetheart.
Good night.
Good night, Dad.
Did you check out
the new shoes at the mall?
Yeah, they're great.
They're so cool.
Don't look now, but here comes the loner.
That's not very nice.
Ever since her mom died,
she's totally ignored us.
Yeah, like, get over it already.
Casey!
We're going to the mall. Wanna come?
No, thanks.
Hey, how come you never want
to hang out with us anymore?
Sarah, there's more to
life than just shopping.
Hang on!
Local Publications, uh, 1821.
All right. You could have it by
Okay, that's great.
Oh, okay. So not anytime soon.
All right.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
$150?
$63.
- Now, is that the outside date?
- No?
Oh, great. I'll never see her again.
"Resurrecting lost life forces."
Now you are ready to summon a life force.
The Channelor must follow
each step precisely.
"Step one... prepare the Altar."
Now, make a wish before it self-destructs.
I hope all your wishes come true, sweetie.
This is your favorite, double chocolate...
Chocolate on the outside
and chocolate on the inside.
Look at that.
- Dad, you know what I wished for?
- What?
That mom could somehow come back.
- Casey, please...
- Maybe it can work! The books say that...
Casey, I thought
we already discussed this.
No more of that junk.
Look
I wish that there was magic too,
but life doesn't work that way.
You remember what Dr. Jacobs
said about accepting reality?
Yeah. He's a quack and has bad breath.
What does he know?
How to help unhappy people be happy again.
- So, no more talk about that stuff, okay?
- You never want to talk about Mom.
Hey! You know what I found yesterday?
Super Bowl tickets.
You remember?
Green Bay versus New England.
Everyone in the stands was on their feet.
And Mom was cheering so hard
she couldn't talk for a week.
Remember that guy behind us kept yelling,
"Down in front, down in front"?
But I never took you
off my shoulders, did I?
No.
We had a great time, didn't we?
Yeah.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I am so sorry to barge in
on you and Casey,
but you forgot
the depo questions yesterday.
You were gonna review my draft?
- Oh, right.
- And I wouldn't have bothered you,
but Phil needs it Monday morning.
No, no problem. Um, I can do it right now.
Come on in.
Hey, sweetie, happy birthday.
I couldn't help myself.
Now, don't kill me.
Oh. What do you know? A doll.
But not just any doll.
May I?
This is a very special doll.
This is Eve.
She has a very sophisticated
look, don't you think?
Let's go to the mall.
You're my special friend.
And what's great is,
she's numbered, like a work of art.
- Oh.
- She's a collector's item.
Yeah, look. It says,
"Complete with certificate
of authenticity inside."
How about that, Case?
Yeah, she's a real piece of...
Art.
Oh, I know you're too old
to play with dolls, Casey,
but I started collecting them
when I was your age.
Thanks, Drew. I'll put her
in someplace real special.
- I guess that wasn't such a great idea.
- Oh, come on. She-she loved it.
"A remnant from the object
to be transformed
must be placed in the center of the altar,
the strongest meridian point."
Mom's brush.
Mom, you taught me never to give up.
You were always there for me.
Just be there for me one more time.
"You are now ready to commence
with the incantation.
But do so wisely,
for it will only work once."
Casey, are you still up?
Come in.
Hi. I just wanna say good night.
Hi.
Wow.
What a great room.
Look at all the trophies you have, Casey.
No! No!
Oh, I'm sorry.
Oh, let me help you.
No! Don't touch anything!
Now I've gotta clean all this stuff up.
I'm sorry, Casey.
Oh, look at you.
That's better.
What are you doing? That's my stuff!
I'm sorry.
Well, I hope you had a nice birthday.
Thanks.
- Good night.
- Good night.
"Repeat the spell until
the transformation is complete.
Zamba Tarka Ishtu Nebarim."
Zamba Tarka Ishtu Nebarim.
Zamba Tarka Ishtu Nebarim.
Zamba Tarka Ishtu Nebarim.
Zamba Tarka Ishtu Nebarim.
Zamba Tarka Ishtu Nebarim.
Zamba Tarka Ishtu Nebarim.
Zamba Tarka Ishtu Nebarim.
Zamba Tarka Ishtu Nebarim.
Zamba Tarka Ishtu Nebarim.
Zamba Tarka Ishtu Nebarim.
Zamba Tarka Ishtu Nebarim.
Zamba Tarka Ishtu Nebarim.
Mom.
Mom.
Mom.
You better watch it, lady.
I hit 20 homers last season.
Wait a minute. You can't be.
I'm Eve,
and you're my special friend.
Ow!
What happened?
My ankles bend.
- I can move.
- This isn't happening.
I must be dreaming. I'm dreaming.
This isn't happening.
Who are you?
Where am I?
Oh, no! What have I done?
What happened to my purse?
This is a disaster!
That was my only chance.
- I'll never be able to bring her back.
- Bring who back?
My Mom! You're alive, not her.
I'm alive?
I am?
That's it! I'm alive!
Why do I feel like
I'm in a bad horror movie?
Reversing spells, reversing spells.
Here it is.
"Spells become permanent
upon the setting sun of the fourth day.
To reverse spells, see Volume II,
'The Book of Awakenings.'"
Volume II?
Case? You up?
Uh, Dad, wait a second!
- Don't come in! I'm getting dressed.
- Who's that?
What?
Uh, nothing.
Remember, we're spending the day together.
Right, but we don't have to.
I mean, you're probably really busy
and everything.
No, no. It's no problem.
I blocked out the whole day.
I'm going to the store.
Do you want anything?
- How about a banana split?
- What?
What did you say?
Uh, I said, just split.
I don't need anything. Take your time.
Oh, I am so dead now.
If dad finds out what happened,
he'll really send me back to that shrink.
It's music!
Don't! Will you turn that off?
Oh, my gosh! The pictures move!
This is super fantastic!
It's just like Sunnyvale,
except everything works!
Where are my clothes?
My accessory sets, my fashion trunk?
-You don't have any clothes,
-accessory sets, or a fashion trunk.
'Course I do.
Eve never goes anywhere without them.
- They gotta be here somewhere.
- You still don't get it!
This is all a big mistake,
and I'm turning you back.
Back?
You can't do that.
Watch me. We're going to that bookstore.
And once I get Volume II, you're plastic.
Everything is so big and so bright.
Look out, comin' through.
Oh! And fast.
Ugh.
Wait.
- What's that funny feeling?
- What are you talking about?
What?
What are you doing?
Ah.
Roses!
I can smell!
What are those?
Mmm. This world smells so good.
Maybe not the whole world.
Come on.
Excuse me.
This is everyone's home.
Please keep it clean.
Garbage police.
Unbelievable.
Littering is wrong.
That man learned
a very valuable lesson today.
Let's go.
Case, I'm back!
Case?
Case?
Casey, slow down!
In four days,
I'm stuck with you forever.
We're getting that book now.
Here we are. Now, go inside
and ask for Holcroft's
Book of the Dead, Volume II,
"The Book of Awakenings."
I've gotta stay out here.
"Book of Awakenings"?
That doesn't sound like a bedtime story.
It is for you.
Can I help you?
Is this Volume II,
"The Book of Awakenings"?
I never got that one.
I had Volume I until yesterday.
A young girl took it.
I know who that is.
She's right there.
Hey! You're the one who
Hey, hey! Stop! Hey, hey, hey, stop!
- Casey, wait for me!
- Somebody stop her! Call the police!
'Scuse me!
Casey?
Casey!
Are you all right?
Casey, are you okay?
Why did you run
in front of that truck, honey?
I almost had a heart attack.
I'm sorry.
What are you doing here?
I was returning that book
I found in your room.
You and I are gonna have
a serious talk about that, young lady.
Thank you. You saved my daughter's life.
Oh, it was nothing.
I've been a police officer.
Uh
I'm Ben Stuart. What's your name?
Eve.
This is my daughter, Casey.
Ben What a nice name.
Such a nice man, too.
Are all the men here
as handsome as you are?
Casey!
Casey?
Can you hear me?
Casey?
Dad? What happened?
You fainted.
Oh, wow.
I had the worst nightmare.
There was this doll,
and-and she came to life and...
Hi, Casey.
Take it easy.
Everything's okay.
This will make you sparkle and shine.
This is Eve.
She's the one who stopped that truck.
If it weren't for her,
you might not be alive.
How ironic.
She came home with us
to make sure you're okay.
She's had medical training.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
I'm just having a hard time
swallowing all of this.
Well, thank you again.
I don't know how we can repay you.
Oh, it was nothing, really.
After Casey rests a bit,
can we offer to drive you somewhere?
Let's go to the mall!
Ugh.
I just love this car.
I got an orange one at home,
but you have to push it.
Yeah, I had one of those.
Triple A canceled me.
Wow. What are all these buttons for?
Don't touch them. Stop!
Wow. What does this one do?
Wow! This is so great!
This is nice.
I haven't had the top down in ages.
Whoo!
- This is so much fun!
- Um, Eve,
you should probably put your seat belt on.
You're right. Safety first.
You're all that
I want you to know it, boy
That's all that
You have got it all together
- Hi.
- Hi, mom.
Everything is so beautiful here.
Even the people.
Sometimes it's hard to tell
what's real from what's plastic.
It's all plastic where I come from.
- Where's that?
- Sunnyvale.
Sunnyvale? I don't know it.
How long have you been here?
Oh, I just arrived.
It was a sort of
spur-of-the-moment decision.
Mm, and how long are you staying?
I don't know.
I don't even know where I'm staying.
In fact, my clothes and accessories
haven't even arrived yet,
but I'm sure they will really soon.
Don't count on it.
I guess they don't have
escalators in Sunnyvale, do they?
Mm-mm.
Whew.
Oh, it's perfect! It's just what I need.
But my credit cards
are with the rest of my stuff.
I don't mean to be forward,
but given your situation,
why don't you let me loan you money,
you can pay me when your things arrive?
It's the least I can do.
Dad!
Oh, Ben, you're so awesome!
Thank you so much!
- And as far as a place to stay goes
- Wait! You're not thinking about...
we do have a guesthouse.
You're welcome to use it for a few days
until you figure out what you're gonna do.
Really? Thank you so much.
Dad, you can't. That's mom's old studio.
Hold on.
- Hello. Uh
- What are you trying to do?
I've gotta stay somewhere.
Go find a dollhouse.
But then I can't stay
with my special friends.
Ugh.
We'll just have to reschedule it. I can't.
- I'll be right in. I'll be right in.
- Come on. Dad.
Excuse me.
You should love animals, not wear them.
- Casey.
- Finally.
Oh, isn't this so much fun?
Us girls getting out
and doing what we do best?
Us girls?
Since when did I become
your shopping buddy?
Oh, you'd look so cool.
I wouldn't wear this thing if you paid me.
You're really starting to bug me.
Remind me to thank Drew later.
Who's Drew?
Oh, she works with my dad.
She gave you to me for my birthday.
That's one gift I should've never opened.
Look at that over there.
Okay, dress me.
That does it. I'm outta here.
But, Casey
Eve's never dressed herself before.
Oh-oh
I say, hey, boy, sittin' in your tree
Mummy always wants you to come for tea
I wanna know just what to do
Is it very big?
Is there room for two?
I got a house with windows and doors
I'll show you mine
If you show me yours
I'm the wolf today
Hey, hey, hey
I'll huff, I'll puff
I'll huff, I'll puff
I'll blow you away
Say you won't
Say you'll do what I don't
Say you're true, say to me
C'est la vie
Say you will, say you won't
Say you'll do what I don't
Say you're true
C'est la vie
Do you play with the girls?
Play with the boys?
Do you ever get lonely
Playing with your toys?
We can talk, we can sing
I can't read this.
I know. Everything's in Italian.
The only thing they translate
are the prices, but everything's good.
I can order for you if you like.
Hi, Antonio.
Um, Eve and I are gonna have the special,
and Case, spaghetti?
Okay.
- Wow, real food!
- Exactly.
That's what I love about this place.
None of that hip, trendy stuff.
Mmm
This is fabulous.
Well, they do have good bread here.
Would you like some, uh, butter?
Mmm.
Mmm-mmm!
Mmm
Can't wait till you try the linguine.
So, I guess Sunnyvale isn't exactly
the restaurant capital of the world.
- Where is it again?
- Yeah, I'm dying to know.
It's a perfect little town,
right smack-dab in the middle of America,
where the sun always shines.
Mm
- And what do you do there?
- I do all kinds of things.
Law enforcement, medicine, office work.
- You do all that?
- Mm-hmm.
Wow. I can't even find a good secretary.
I just fired my last one,
the fourth this month.
I'm a great secretary.
I type and I file
and I work with computers.
- You know, it's a must these days.
- Really? Do you know Apple or Windows?
Both. I love apples.
I don't know, uh, if you'd be interested,
but I could really use some help tomorrow.
- But, Dad, she can't.
- Of course I'll help.
Great.
You know, Ben,
even though I do so many things,
my real purpose in life is to help girls.
I strive to present
a positive image of womanhood.
'Cause I believe that girls everywhere
should know that all things are possible.
My wife believed that.
Were you, um, ever married?
No, and it's too bad
'cause I look awesome in a wedding dress.
The men back home are so good-looking,
but they're so stiff.
You are the most interesting man
that I have ever met.
Well, you have definitely
got to get out more.
Uh, dad, don't you have any work to do?
Nope, I'm yours for the day.
Would you, uh, excuse me for a minute?
I'll be right back.
Your dad is so much cuter
than those guys back in Sunnyvale.
You stay away from him. Got that?
Why? He likes me.
He can't like you, you're a doll!
Not anymore.
"Past Pages bookstore.
Enter name of book."
"Holcroft's Book of the Dead,
Volume II."
"Due in one week."
One week?
I only have three more days.
Whoo! Whoo!
Let's get outta here, just you and me.
Isn't that what you really want?
Coming up next
on the shopping network,
indulge yourself with the finest clothing,
jewelry, footwear, and household items.
Sit back, relax,
and at the touch of a button,
select anything your heart desires.
Dad?
Yeah, Case?
I've gotta tell you something,
but you probably won't believe me.
Pretty weak for
an opening argument, counselor.
Remember that book?
Well, it had a spell,
I used it, and it worked.
What do you mean, it worked?
I tried to bring Mom back to life,
and the spell worked and all,
but not on Mom.
That doll that Drew gave me?
I brought it to life instead.
Dad, Eve's really a doll.
Casey
I knew you wouldn't believe me!
Everything she told you was a lie!
You've never heard of Sunnyvale
because it doesn't exist.
I haven't heard of a lot of towns.
But you don't think it's weird
that she looks like the doll
and talks like the doll
and has the same name?
A lot of women have that name.
And I will admit that, at times,
she can be rather
Odd
but there's something
very sweet about her.
I'm telling you the truth.
Why won't you believe me?
You're asking me to believe
that a doll can come to life.
But it's true! I'll prove it!
"Certificate of Authenticity.
Registered number A4618."
Hi, Ellen. This is Eve.
- She's gonna be temping for me today.
- Hi!
What agency are you with?
She's not. She's from out of town.
So, if you could just help
her get situated here
and then send her on back,
I'd appreciate it.
Okay.
I need some information
for our employee database.
Your last name?
I don't have one.
Address?
1 Maple Lane, Sunnyvale.
Sunnyvale.
What state's that in?
The sunshine state.
Oh, Florida.
Your previous position?
Sitting?
I meant, where was your last job?
Oh, I was helping out
with the space shuttle.
Finally, someone who knows
what they're doing.
Ben, I am all set.
- Um
- Hello.
- That was the fax.
- I know. Every office is different.
The fax is right here,
the phone has its own headset,
and the computer's linked up
to all the other stations.
This is so much fun.
I just need you to do
these letters for me.
Just enter them in the, uh, letters file.
And any questions, I'm right in there.
Okay.
Well, well, hello, there.
You need any help?
No. Eve can handle anything.
Uh, may I?
I'm not sure Ben wanted that.
There. Better to be on the safe side.
- Starting a new job can be rough, huh?
- Yes. It's very important
to make a good impression
on your first day of work.
Yes, it is.
Um
- I'm Richard Ackerman. And you are?
- Eve.
I'm a star.
Star light, star bright,
wish I may, wish I might.
Um, you know, Eve,
I've, uh, got a few minutes.
If you want, I could, uh,
give you some computer tips.
Really? Oh, Eve never says no to learning.
Eve
Could I see you in here
for a minute, please?
In there?
Eve?
That is funny.
Um, the the talk button's on the left.
Richie, this is Eve.
- Richie?
- What?
This is Eve,
the one I was telling you about.
She's staying in the, uh the guesthouse.
Oh!
Oh, so you're the one?
Ooh.
Eve, could you, uh
Could you meet me in my office, please?
Sure.
Uh I guess I'll take
a rain check on that lesson.
Okay. I'll wear my razzle dazzle raincoat.
- I can't wait.
- Yeah.
Hoo, hoo, hoo, yes!
Man, you really took
my move on suggestion to heart, huh?
Richie, I don't know what you're thinking,
but there's nothing going on.
Really?
- Yeah.
- Even better.
So, if I wanted to, um, ask her out
to the firm party tonight, you...
Richie, I'm not dating her.
If you want to ask her,
she's gonna be here all day.
You're the man, Ben.
You the man.
Eve, I've got some filing for you.
Ben, what's wrong?
- Oh, I did something to my neck.
- Oh, I can fix that.
Oh, no. No, no, no.
It's It's really fine. I don't
Oh, yeah.
Wow. Don't tell me.
You used to be a masseuse.
A massage therapist.
I don't really know if the workplace
is the place for this...
Don't talk.
Sit back and relax.
Ben?
- Hey, Drew.
- Hi!
It's 10:30. Did you want me to come back...
No, no, no, no. It's fine, it's fine.
Drew McDonald, Eve. Eve, Drew.
Uh, Eve's temping for me today.
So you're Drew?
Oh, it's so nice to meet you.
You look awfully familiar. Have we met?
- At the sports club? Yoga class?
- Nope.
I got it... Law school.
Eve's actually, um, from out of town.
It's quite a story.
I'll tell you later.
Eve, I've gotta run.
I'm gonna have Ellen come in here
and show you what to do and
Uh, are you sure you're okay
with all of this?
Ben, don't worry.
I'll take care of everything.
Great. Thanks.
Today's the day
We're out to play
And lost our way
It's always the same
Oh, baby, now
Climbed the trees
Swam the seven seas
We've grazed our knees
And no one's to blame, oh
Come and sit beside us
We'll give you such a thrill
We're not nice, we're cool as ice
We'll give you quite a chill
Let your imagination
Take over on this ride
Out of sight, all right
Hold on tight
Come on
Come on
Get it on
Roller coaster of love
Come on
Come along
Eve can handle anything!
Roller coaster of love
Recycling saves our planet.
And exactly which planet is that?
Ow!
Oh! My nail!
Oh, I broke it! I broke it! I broke it!
You're not gonna throw me away, are you?
Oh
Come on
Come on
Sit.
Francine,
could you please call
a cab for our Miss Eve?
I don't understand.
Where I come from,
I am the perfect secretary.
Eve never fails.
Look, honey, we can't
all succeed at everything.
We each have our own talent.
I mean, if I looked half as good as you
I can't get this one guy at the office
to even look at me.
What?
Ellen, all you need is a touch of base.
You've got lovely skin.
Just a hint of this blush on those cheeks,
and it'll bring out that natural color.
Let's take a look.
Oh
You've made a new woman out of me.
Cab's here.
Ellen, is that you?
Francine, there's someone
I want you to meet.
Hi!
Can I help you?
I hope so.
I got one of those Eve dolls,
and it came with this certificate.
What's it for?
That guarantees that you have
an authentic Eve doll.
Each doll has its own number
stamped on the certificate
As well as
Right here.
You mean every doll has this?
Yep. It never comes off.
It's your way of proving
you've got the genuine article,
a real Eve.
I got you now, Miss Sparkle and Shine.
Here we go again
This time it's my rules
Here we go again
Tears are just for fools
Stronger now than I was before
Hey, Casey. Do you like
my firecracker-red nails?
Wait, what are you doing?
Getting the proof I need.
Ah.
Exhibit A.
Once my dad sees this, it's adios.
We don't have to show him
right now, do we?
At least not until after tonight.
What's tonight?
I'm going to your dad's party.
That nice man Richard invited me.
What? You can't go to a party.
Why not? It's what I do.
Besides, Casey,
can't a girl have a little bit of fun?
You just don't know when to quit, do you?
Just because you're gorgeous
doesn't mean you get everything you want.
Your days are numbered, literally.
Fancy meeting you here.
- Hey, Drew.
- Hi.
Wow, you look great.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
Richie doesn't waste
any time, does he?
No, he sure doesn't.
Let's just hope
her self-defense skills
are better than her secretarial skills.
I heard she really did a number
on the office...
A one-woman wrecking crew.
Yeah, I know, but for some reason,
Ellen was raving about her.
Wow!
This is so much more exciting
than Eve's Grand Ball back in Sunnyvale.
They sure know
how to make 'em in Sunnyvale.
Who, me? I wasn't made there.
No? Where?
Indonesia, but I was packaged locally.
Mmm.
Mmm.
Mmm.
Care for some punch?
Try this.
Oh!
- Mmm. It's good.
- Mmm.
- You are wild.
- Richie!
Ah.
Oh, no. It's Mr. and Mrs. Boring.
How have you been?
Oh! Still billing people
you talk to at parties?
I'll make an exception in your case.
John, Susan, this is Eve.
Nice to meet you, Mr. Boring.
Mrs. Boring.
So, Eve, are you a lawyer?
I have been.
Oh, and what do you do now?
Depends on what outfit I'm wearing.
If I didn't know better,
I'd swear you were mentally
dictating a brief just now.
Sorry.
We can all make this world a better place.
Because Eve cares about
poverty and world hunger.
That's why I'm the perfect
role model for girls.
Uh-huh.
Why'd they leave?
Everybody loves Eve.
You are brilliant. You got rid of them.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- Hey, guys.
- Hi, Ben.
Eve, you having fun?
Oh, Ben, you gotta dance with me.
Uh, Richie, you mind?
- No, go ahead.
- Come on.
Ow!
Relax.
I don't understand.
I'm the best ballroom dancer in Sunnyvale.
Listen to the music.
That's it.
- Wow.
- See? You've got it.
You watching?
How can a girl compete with that?
Yeah, she's somethin', isn't she?
Indonesians. Hoo-hoo.
How do you do it?
Do what?
Every time I'm with you,
I forget all about work
and pressure and clients.
Ben, you think
about those things too much.
Life should be fun.
You really believe
it's that simple, don't you?
- Time's up, pal.
- Richie.
You did really good.
Where'd you learn to dance like that, huh?
Oh, Ben is such a nice guy.
Too nice.
If you were staying at my house,
I'd never let you out.
And you are in such terrific shape.
I mean,
how do you do so many things
and still find time to work out?
Fitness is very important.
Do you know I'm anatomically correct?
Uh, that's my favorite type.
Why don't we get out of here, huh?
Away from all this noise, just you and me?
Isn't that what you want?
Whoa! What was that for?
Wasn't I supposed to do that?
You were being forward.
No, I wasn't.
I-I
You're right.
I deserved that.
I am sorry for acting this way.
Richie, you don't have to act at all.
Women will love you
for just being yourself.
I mean, come on. Look at you.
You're friendly and you're funny.
And you're really handsome.
Really? You think so?
Yes.
Wow.
That's the nicest, most honest thing
a woman's ever said to me.
Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen,
the band will now take requests.
So if there's anything you'd like to hear,
we'd be happy to play it for you.
- Is it okay?
- Sure.
Do you know "Be a Star"?
No, but if you sing it,
I'm sure we can follow you.
Okay.
Eve's great, no matter where she goes
Dress her up from her head to her toes
On the town, at the mall
Eve loves high fashion
After dark, at the club
She'll spend the whole night dancin'
Shine bright, shine far
Don't be shy, be a star
Where you live, where you are
Be a star
Shine bright, shine far
Be a star
Where you live, where you are
Be a star
Come on, everybody! You can all be stars!
Let's dance!
Eve walks the walk
And she does it right
She takes a stand
Eve shines so bright
Now, get all of your friends
Do you have any idea
who she's dancing with?
No.
Judge Peterman, 10th Circuit.
Shine bright, shine far
His briefs will never be the same again.
Where you live, where you are
Be a star
Come on! Put your hands together!
Shine bright, shine far
Don't be shy, be a star
Where you live, where you are
Be a star
Shine bright, shine far
Be a star
Where you live, where you are
Be a star
Stardust and moonlight
Ellen.
Um
Believe me, this isn't a line
or anything, but
You really look very beautiful tonight.
Would you, uh, care to dance?
Oh, yeah.
Shine bright, shine far
Be a star
Where you live, where you are
Be a star
Shine bright, shine far
Be a star
Where you live, where you are
Be a star
Get all of your friends
And let's get together
We can make the good times
Last forever
Whoo! It's all about love.
Ben, did you see that big lady dancing?
This is a night I'll never forget.
Neither will anyone else.
I wonder who's asleep,
Casey or the babysitter.
Dad?
Dad?
How's the guesthouse?
Oh, Ben, it's perfect. Thank you so much.
Sure. Thank you.
Oh, Ben, look, real stars.
They look so far away.
Yeah.
There's Pleiades... the Seven Sisters.
And see those bright ones right there?
That's Perseus.
Wow, they all have names.
They're so beautiful.
Wow, Ben, look at the moon.
I never knew it could be so romantic.
Ben, I had such a great time tonight.
What about you?
Yeah, who knew you could have
that much fun in a room full of lawyers?
There's only one thing missing
to make it a perfect evening.
Dad?
How could you?
Casey.
Your eyes.
They're wet.
Casey, wait.
Casey!
Case
Go away!
Nothing happened, Casey.
She was trying to kiss you
so that you would fall in love with her!
I'm not falling in love
with anyone, honey.
You let her stay
in Mom's special place, Dad.
Sweetie
Nothing I do is gonna make a difference!
Everything is ruined.
Case
Just go away. I hate you.
Let's go. Go, go, go, go!
That's okay. Listen,
keep your eye on the ball, okay?
You dropped it again, Weiner-head!
That's it, Casey. You're benched.
No! I've got to practice.
The championship game is tomorrow.
You should have thought about that before.
Aren't sports fun?
- They keep you fit.
- What do you want?
If you're looking for my dad,
you've got the wrong place
'cause he doesn't come anymore.
Really? But I came to see you.
Casey, last night,
you had water in your eyes,
and it ran down your cheeks.
It's called crying.
You really don't get it, do you?
When people are sad,
it makes tears in their eyes.
Where do the tears come from?
From in here.
Well, why were you so sad?
Being human is so much fun.
You don't know the first thing
about being human.
Of course I do. It's so easy.
That's what you think.
You're always happy.
Well, real life's not perfect.
You've never been hurt.
You've never loved someone so much,
and then all of a sudden they're gone,
forever.
Your mom?
She was fine.
I mean, she just went in for a checkup.
Then they found something.
Before I knew it, she was gone.
Just like that.
Nothing was ever the same.
You know what?
Maybe I don't know that much
about being human.
But I do know one thing.
Casey, what happened to you was not fair.
Every girl deserves to have her mother
And nobody can ever,
ever replace her for you.
You know what? I got a great idea...
The perfect thing for a time like this.
Meet me back at the house, okay?
Well, that's everything.
I'd say we're ready.
You nail this deposition tomorrow,
and you've nailed the case.
And the partnership.
That's the plan.
Was there something else?
Well, actually
Ben, I was talking to Ellen,
and she showed me
Eve's employment application.
Have you seen it?
I think you might find this interesting.
Last three jobs...
"NASA Payload Specialist,
Policewoman, Sunnyvale PD,
and Doctor, Sunnyvale hospital."
She definitely has
a vivid imagination.
Ben, I'm serious.
There's something strange about her.
I'm worried she's up to something.
Well, I admit she's a bit different,
but I think she's harmless.
Maybe I'm just being jealous.
Just keep an eye on her.
I don't wanna see you or Casey get hurt.
Drew
Yeah?
It's nice to know you're jealous.
Where's Eve's magic cookbook?
It's got blue stars on the cover.
Blue stars, blue stars,
blue stars, blue stars
Not here.
Oh, well.
I'll just improvise.
Casey, help me, please! Help me!
- Oh, please, oh
- What have you done?
Ah! Casey!
No, let me do it!
I'm a forest ranger! Let me do it!
Get out! No way!
Oh, no!
Oh!
Casey, Casey, get it! Casey, get it!
- I'm so stupid! I'm so stupid!
- Ugh!
So much for vanilla surprise.
Some surprise.
You could have burnt the house down!
See?
Nothing I do is right.
I can't type, and I can't cook.
I'm supposed to be such a good role model.
Look at me.
I need my Fun 'N' Splash hot tub.
Yeah, go ahead and laugh.
Look at me... I'm a wreck.
Look at your face.
Look at yours.
Wow. Look at those pretty eyes.
They're not that great.
Oh, yes, they are. They're amazing.
You know, Casey,
you're a really pretty girl.
There is nothing wrong
with showing that sometimes.
You got lovely eyes,
and a really sweet smile.
Dad used to call it my 100-watt smile.
Guess it got short-circuited.
I wish I could help bring it back.
Casey, I have a confession to make.
I've hardly helped any girls yet.
No one wants to even buy me anymore.
I don't know what's wrong with me.
First of all, you're already beautiful,
so lose the sparkle-and-shine stuff.
That went out with disco.
And look at all the things that you do.
I mean, you're a classic overachiever.
Nobody's this good at everything.
But I'm supposed to always be perfect.
Do you realize how hard it is to be me?
It is not easy being the best
at so many things.
Nobody's great at everything.
Part of being human is making mistakes.
But I'm a doll.
Dolls are supposed to be perfect.
Perfect is boring.
My mom always taught me
that it's not about being the best,
it's about trying your best.
So being a role model doesn't mean
that I have to be perfect all the time.
You got it.
Casey, what about you, though?
Seems to me you've just given up trying.
Don't tell me
you've been a psychiatrist too.
See, there you go again...
Always pushing people away.
I can't help it.
I mean, everything's different,
and nobody understands.
But you gotta give people a chance.
Your mom would want you to be happy...
To be with your friends and have fun.
Casey, you have so much to offer.
So much inside of you.
You just gotta let it out.
You think so?
I know so.
Eve, you're okay.
Come here. Mmm.
Casey, I had so much fun tonight.
We did have fun, didn't we?
I haven't laughed like that in so long.
You know what?
You really are my special friend.
I don't mean to interrupt,
but it's way past somebody's bedtime.
Night, Dad.
Good night, sweetheart.
Good night, Eve.
Come on, let's get you to bed.
- Good night.
- Good night.
That was nice.
I think Casey's starting to like you.
I haven't seen her smile that much in
I don't know how long.
Well, I'm gonna, uh...
I'm gonna go to bed.
Ben
I went to Casey's practice today.
She is so good. You should have seen her.
I know. She is amazing, isn't she?
I used to go all the time,
but, I don't know, um
Work just keeps interfering.
I'm sure when things slow down,
you'll be at every game again.
'Cause you're her biggest fan, right?
Right.
Good night, Ben.
Good night, Eve.
Hey!
Big game today.
I'll be there. I promise.
So don't let them start without me, okay?
Mwah.
Sure, Dad.
"Holcroft's Book of the Dead,
Volume II has arrived.
Call Past Pages Bookstore."
The increased rate hike will
go into effect at the end of this year.
And in financial news,
Marathon Toys announced
more disappointing sales figures
for their Eve doll.
Reflecting the downward trend
in sales of all fashion dolls,
Eve's performance has continued to slide.
That's my car.
That's my mall!
Company officials have begun
the process of pulling back the line.
A decision on whether to cancel the doll
will come in two weeks.
No, they can't.
Home.
It appears the sun may finally
be setting on Sunnyvale.
Come back!
Now,
a look at local weather
Hey, Eve, guess what?
The used bookstore just got Volume II.
- What?
- Today's the fourth day.
By sunset, this will all become permanent.
Permanent?
Yeah. You'll never have
to be a doll again.
It's official. You're here to stay.
Guess we won't be needing
that book after all.
Now that we're friends and all,
I could never send you back.
- You're part of the family.
- But, Casey, I just saw on the TV...
There's my ride. Gotta go.
I'll see you at the game.
Casey, wait!
Here they are...
The Notre Dame Knights
and the home-team Windsor Wildcats!
Stretch them out. Stretch them out.
This is it.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the championship game is about to begin.
Where are they? We were supposed to
be done a half hour ago.
They're trying to sweat us out.
Relax, guys.
This is a breach of the deposition.
The court reporter should
just sign the certificate.
- It's unacceptable.
- They'll be here.
This is grounds
to postpone the trial.
What do you think, Ben?
Ben?
What?
You guys are more than prepared
to handle this.
Ben, where are you going?
I'm going to a football game.
How's Casey gonna win
without her biggest fan?
Yes!
Ben. Ben.
Where are you going?
They just called. They're on their way.
Phil, ten minutes ago,
the Super Bowl of seventh grade started,
and Casey's the quarterback.
I haven't been to a game all year,
and I'm not about to miss her last one.
Ben.
I've never let you down before,
and if this jeopardizes
my chances for partnership, so be it,
but I've already lost
someone very close to me,
and I'm not about
to let that happen again.
Hut!
Here we go, here we go!
Here we go!
Home-team quarterback
Casey Stuart
with an eight-yard run.
First down, Wildcats,
with 5:09 remaining in the first quarter.
Come on, Wildcats!
Come on, Bruce, kill 'em for me!
That's my son.
- Ben?
- How's it going, Phyllis?
Where have you been this season?
I gave up on you.
Yeah, somebody else did, too.
Hut!
Go, Casey!
Aw
That's my daughter.
I'm waiting for the perfect time
When I can sneak out
Of my window, and, baby
I am countin' every second, boy
Until I'm next to you
But you just don't understand
The things you do to me
You'll never realize
How you set my spirit free
It's like tryin' to keep
The rain from fallin'
I can't keep my heart from callin'
There's nothin' in this world
That they can do
To keep me away from you
Even if it takes forever
I know we will be together
There's nothin' in this world
That they can do
To keep me away from
It's like tryin' to keep
The rain from fallin'
I can't keep my heart from callin'
There's nothin' in this world
That they can do
Second down and six yards
to go on the 45-yard line.
The home team trails by four points
with 12 seconds left in the game.
Let's go! Whoo!
Let's go, Case!
- Whoo!
- Hey.
- Hey, Eve, you made it!
- So did you!
I have you to thank for that.
Let's go, kids!
- Ben, I came to say goodbye.
- What?
I came to say g...
Tell me later. The game's almost over.
Tell me at the end.
Ready?
Come on, Casey!
One more touchdown, Case!
That's all we need!
Blue 42, Blue 42!
Ready, set, hut! Hut!
I'm open!
Fire it!
Yes! Go!
Go, Weiner! Go! Go, Weiner!
Go! Go! Go!
Go, Weiner!
Yeah!
The referee
has signaled "No touchdown."
Oh, my God.
The final score
of today's game...
The New City champion,
Notre Dame Knights, 14,
the Windsor Wildcats, 10.
What happened?
They lost.
I'll be right back.
That's all right.
That was the best pass I've ever seen.
Oh, Daddy.
I am so proud of you.
Win or lose, you were great
out there today.
I'm so sorry I haven't been there for you.
I could never tell you
It just hurt too much.
All the things we used to do together,
you and your mom and I.
She would be so proud of you.
I miss her so much.
I know.
I miss her, too, sweetheart.
Well, that's a 50-watter.
You wanna go for 100?
I know it's heartbreaking
'cause it was so close,
but you played a great game.
You did. It was great.
Hey, Casey. Nice pass.
For a girl?
For anyone.
Thanks, Wein... Thanks, Bruce.
- Where's Eve?
- That nice-looking woman?
She just left.
She asked me to tell you goodbye.
- What?
- She said she found a book,
got someone to read it to her,
and she's headed home.
To Sunnyvale?
Oh, no. She's going back.
But why? I don't get it.
Case, what are you talking about?
There's no time to explain.
We've gotta stop her.
We're going to Sunnyvale.
I thought Sunnyvale was in middle America.
More like the middle of downtown. Come on.
- What's going on?
- Eve's about to have a meltdown.
Sir?
I'm home.
You're late.
Follow the footsteps.
Sun of suns, moon of moons,
once awakened, now to return.
Here it is.
The sun sets at 6:01 p.m.,
so we have to hurry.
Casey, do you wanna let me in on this?
Goodbye.
Excuse me, did someone who looks like
the Eve doll just come in here?
You mean the woman from the photo shoots?
Yeah. She came in
to pick up her last paycheck.
I sent her to payroll.
Follow the footsteps.
"Payroll."
It's locked.
Eve's backpack.
Oh, no.
We'll never find her.
Casey?
We made it in time. It's not too late.
Oh, Casey, it is.
The spell's complete.
- I don't have much time.
- No, you can't go.
- Why are you doing this?
- Wait
It's not possible. Right?
You can't really be a
I'm going home now.
It's where I belong.
Casey, they're about to cancel the doll.
They need me back in Sunnyvale.
But we need you, too.
You can't just leave us.
We love you.
I love you both.
You have taught me so much.
I know I've helped one little girl.
Hopefully there'll be many more to come.
This is where I belong.
It's my home.
I know I wasn't doing
such a good job there before,
but thanks to you, now I know why.
I can go back now,
and everything that you taught me
will be a part of all the dolls.
But if I don't go,
there won't be any more Eve.
This is unbelievable. I don't know
What to say,
except thank you.
I'll never forget you.
Bye, Casey.
Bye, Eve.
Look for me in Sunnyvale.
How about we put her
someplace real special?
Okay?
- Ah.
- Hey, look at that.
Wow.
Hey, Sarah, wait up!
Dad, can I go?
Yeah. Go ahead.
- Hi, Casey. Your hair looks great.
- Thanks.
I was gonna go pick up some CDs.
You guys wanna come?
You're not too busy?
- Not anymore.
- Okay. Let's go.
- I have so much to tell you.
- So do I.
There you are. Am I late?
- No, I just got here.
- Well, good.
Where's Casey?
Uh, she's with some of her old friends.
- That's a change.
- A lot of things have changed.
Well, they sure have, partner.
So, where do you wanna go
for your congratulations lunch?
Oh! How about the new vegetarian place?
Uh
Things haven't changed that much.
Oh, it's amazing, Sam.
They've given Eve a whole new makeover.
Whatever it is, it's working.
Mommy, look what I got!
Oh, honey, that's wonderful.
Hi, I'm Eve.
Show me your 100-watt smile.
Eve's great
No matter where she goes
Dress her up
From her head to her toes
On the town, at the mall
Eve loves high fashion
After dark, at the club
She'll spend the whole night dancin'
Shine bright, shine far
Don't be shy, be a star
Where you live, where you are
Shout it out
Be a star
Shine bright, shine far
Be a star
Where you live, where you are
Be a star
Shine bright, shine far
Don't be shy, be a star
Where you live, where you are
Be a star
Shine bright, shine far
Be a star
Where you live, where you are
Be a star
Shine bright, shine far
Don't be shy, be a star
Here's Eve at
the Sand and Sea Club.
Let's catch a wave!
Press the button on Eve's back,
and she talks to you.
Remember, don't pollute our oceans.
Watch Eve drive her Fun 'N' Sun
convertible to the mall
and see what this lady can do.
Shine bright, shine far
Be a star
Where you live
Where you are, be a star
It's fun to dress up!
I look awesome!
Love animals, don't wear them.
Where you live
Where you are, be a star
Now Eve's ready to come home to Sunnyvale,
where the sun always shines.
Then pick a career for Eve.
She does it all.
Take Eve home and watch her
sparkle and shine.
Like the song says
Be a star
I'm Eve, and you're my special friend.
- How about one of those?
- No way! I don't want a doll.
I want something with microchips.
I don't get it, Sam.
Used to be, we couldn't keep
dolls on the shelf.
Now all those kids want is high-tech this
and high-tech that.
Here we go!
- You dropped the ball again!
- You throw like a girl!
Hey, break it up! Break it up!
Stuart, off the field now!
You too, Weiner!
Go play with your dolls, case-oid.
Get a life, Weiner-head.
I hate dolls as much as I hate you.
Casey, this behavior has to stop.
It's a game, remember?
3:00? Oh, no!
I missed Casey's game again.
Oh
I'm going for a perfect record.
Don't be so hard on yourself.
I'm sure she knows you love her.
That's what counts.
Yeah, remember all those Sundays
you spent teaching Casey
how to pass a football
when you could've been with me,
pigging out on pizza, watchin' the NFL?
Well, that was a while ago.
Things have changed.
Well, come have some lunch with us.
We'll cheer you up.
No, thanks. I'm gonna eat here.
Okay, Ben,
trying to make partner is one thing,
but you are working way too hard.
What if I cook a fabulous
dinner tomorrow night
for you and Casey at my place?
I guarantee it'll be Tofu-free.
I can't. Tomorrow is Casey's birthday,
and I promised we'd have dinner
just me and her.
That's so sweet.
See? You are a great dad.
Okay, well, give Casey
a big birthday kiss for me.
- I will.
- I'll see you down there.
Hoo-hoo!
You are in there, buddy.
She's only been here six months.
Already, she wants to cook for you.
Richie, Drew's great.
- I'm just not ready, okay?
- You've been saying that for two years.
You need to loosen up,
have some fun again.
Karen would've wanted you to move on
For you and for Casey.

Looks like we're both working late.
What are you doin'?
Oh, nothing. Just surfing.
Good night.
I should've been there.
I'm sorry.
You wore out "Sorry" a long time ago.
Did you win?
We're in the championships Wednesday.
Congratulations.
I know. You promise to be there, right?
Casey, I realize
this is hard to understand,
but making partner means a lot to me
- and to us.
- I understand!
I'm not a little kid anymore!
I know you're not.
Hey!
Tomorrow's our special dinner, right?
How about Sunday, you and I
spend the whole day together
just you and me for your birthday?
Okay?
Sure, Dad.
Dad
Does everything happen for a reason?
Sometimes
Things just happen, sweetheart.
Good night.
Good night, Dad.
Did you check out
the new shoes at the mall?
Yeah, they're great.
They're so cool.
Don't look now, but here comes the loner.
That's not very nice.
Ever since her mom died,
she's totally ignored us.
Yeah, like, get over it already.
Casey!
We're going to the mall. Wanna come?
No, thanks.
Hey, how come you never want
to hang out with us anymore?
Sarah, there's more to
life than just shopping.
Hang on!
Local Publications, uh, 1821.
All right. You could have it by
Okay, that's great.
Oh, okay. So not anytime soon.
All right.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
$150?
$63.
- Now, is that the outside date?
- No?
Oh, great. I'll never see her again.
"Resurrecting lost life forces."
Now you are ready to summon a life force.
The Channelor must follow
each step precisely.
"Step one... prepare the Altar."
Now, make a wish before it self-destructs.
I hope all your wishes come true, sweetie.
This is your favorite, double chocolate...
Chocolate on the outside
and chocolate on the inside.
Look at that.
- Dad, you know what I wished for?
- What?
That mom could somehow come back.
- Casey, please...
- Maybe it can work! The books say that...
Casey, I thought
we already discussed this.
No more of that junk.
Look
I wish that there was magic too,
but life doesn't work that way.
You remember what Dr. Jacobs
said about accepting reality?
Yeah. He's a quack and has bad breath.
What does he know?
How to help unhappy people be happy again.
- So, no more talk about that stuff, okay?
- You never want to talk about Mom.
Hey! You know what I found yesterday?
Super Bowl tickets.
You remember?
Green Bay versus New England.
Everyone in the stands was on their feet.
And Mom was cheering so hard
she couldn't talk for a week.
Remember that guy behind us kept yelling,
"Down in front, down in front"?
But I never took you
off my shoulders, did I?
No.
We had a great time, didn't we?
Yeah.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I am so sorry to barge in
on you and Casey,
but you forgot
the depo questions yesterday.
You were gonna review my draft?
- Oh, right.
- And I wouldn't have bothered you,
but Phil needs it Monday morning.
No, no problem. Um, I can do it right now.
Come on in.
Hey, sweetie, happy birthday.
I couldn't help myself.
Now, don't kill me.
Oh. What do you know? A doll.
But not just any doll.
May I?
This is a very special doll.
This is Eve.
She has a very sophisticated
look, don't you think?
Let's go to the mall.
You're my special friend.
And what's great is,
she's numbered, like a work of art.
- Oh.
- She's a collector's item.
Yeah, look. It says,
"Complete with certificate
of authenticity inside."
How about that, Case?
Yeah, she's a real piece of...
Art.
Oh, I know you're too old
to play with dolls, Casey,
but I started collecting them
when I was your age.
Thanks, Drew. I'll put her
in someplace real special.
- I guess that wasn't such a great idea.
- Oh, come on. She-she loved it.
"A remnant from the object
to be transformed
must be placed in the center of the altar,
the strongest meridian point."
Mom's brush.
Mom, you taught me never to give up.
You were always there for me.
Just be there for me one more time.
"You are now ready to commence
with the incantation.
But do so wisely,
for it will only work once."
Casey, are you still up?
Come in.
Hi. I just wanna say good night.
Hi.
Wow.
What a great room.
Look at all the trophies you have, Casey.
No! No!
Oh, I'm sorry.
Oh, let me help you.
No! Don't touch anything!
Now I've gotta clean all this stuff up.
I'm sorry, Casey.
Oh, look at you.
That's better.
What are you doing? That's my stuff!
I'm sorry.
Well, I hope you had a nice birthday.
Thanks.
- Good night.
- Good night.
"Repeat the spell until
the transformation is complete.

Zamba Tarka Ishtu Nebarim.
Zamba Tarka Ishtu Nebarim.
Zamba Tarka Ishtu Nebarim.
Zamba Tarka Ishtu Nebarim.
Zamba Tarka Ishtu Nebarim.
Zamba Tarka Ishtu Nebarim.
Zamba Tarka Ishtu Nebarim.
Zamba Tarka Ishtu Nebarim.
Zamba Tarka Ishtu Nebarim.
Zamba Tarka Ishtu Nebarim.
Zamba Tarka Ishtu Nebarim.
Zamba Tarka Ishtu Nebarim.
Mom.
Mom.
Mom.
You better watch it, lady.
I hit 20 homers last season.
Wait a minute. You can't be.
I'm Eve,
and you're my special friend.
Ow!
What happened?
My ankles bend.
- I can move.
- This isn't happening.
I must be dreaming. I'm dreaming.
This isn't happening.
Who are you?
Where am I?
Oh, no! What have I done?
What happened to my purse?
This is a disaster!
That was my only chance.
- I'll never be able to bring her back.
- Bring who back?
My Mom! You're alive, not her.
I'm alive?
I am?
That's it! I'm alive!
Why do I feel like
I'm in a bad horror movie?
Reversing spells, reversing spells.
Here it is.
"Spells become permanent
upon the setting sun of the fourth day.
To reverse spells, see Volume II,
'The Book of Awakenings.'"
Volume II?
Case? You up?
Uh, Dad, wait a second!
- Don't come in! I'm getting dressed.
- Who's that?
What?
Uh, nothing.
Remember, we're spending the day together.
Right, but we don't have to.
I mean, you're probably really busy
and everything.
No, no. It's no problem.
I blocked out the whole day.
I'm going to the store.
Do you want anything?
- How about a banana split?
- What?
What did you say?
Uh, I said, just split.
I don't need anything. Take your time.
Oh, I am so dead now.
If dad finds out what happened,
he'll really send me back to that shrink.
It's music!
Don't! Will you turn that off?
Oh, my gosh! The pictures move!
This is super fantastic!
It's just like Sunnyvale,
except everything works!
Where are my clothes?
My accessory sets, my fashion trunk?
-You don't have any clothes,
-accessory sets, or a fashion trunk.
'Course I do.
Eve never goes anywhere without them.
- They gotta be here somewhere.
- You still don't get it!
This is all a big mistake,
and I'm turning you back.
Back?
You can't do that.
Watch me. We're going to that bookstore.
And once I get Volume II, you're plastic.
Everything is so big and so bright.
Look out, comin' through.
Oh! And fast.
Ugh.
Wait.
- What's that funny feeling?
- What are you talking about?
What?
What are you doing?
Ah.
Roses!
I can smell!
What are those?
Mmm. This world smells so good.
Maybe not the whole world.
Come on.
Excuse me.
This is everyone's home.
Please keep it clean.
Garbage police.
Unbelievable.
Littering is wrong.
That man learned
a very valuable lesson today.
Let's go.
Case, I'm back!
Case?
Case?
Casey, slow down!
In four days,
I'm stuck with you forever.
We're getting that book now.
Here we are. Now, go inside
and ask for Holcroft's
Book of the Dead, Volume II,
"The Book of Awakenings."
I've gotta stay out here.
"Book of Awakenings"?
That doesn't sound like a bedtime story.
It is for you.
Can I help you?
Is this Volume II,
"The Book of Awakenings"?
I never got that one.
I had Volume I until yesterday.
A young girl took it.
I know who that is.
She's right there.
Hey! You're the one who
Hey, hey! Stop! Hey, hey, hey, stop!
- Casey, wait for me!
- Somebody stop her! Call the police!
'Scuse me!
Casey?
Casey!
Are you all right?
Casey, are you okay?
Why did you run
in front of that truck, honey?
I almost had a heart attack.
I'm sorry.
What are you doing here?
I was returning that book
I found in your room.
You and I are gonna have
a serious talk about that, young lady.
Thank you. You saved my daughter's life.
Oh, it was nothing.
I've been a police officer.
Uh
I'm Ben Stuart. What's your name?
Eve.
This is my daughter, Casey.
Ben What a nice name.
Such a nice man, too.
Are all the men here
as handsome as you are?
Casey!
Casey?
Can you hear me?
Casey?
Dad? What happened?
You fainted.
Oh, wow.
I had the worst nightmare.
There was this doll,
and-and she came to life and...
Hi, Casey.
Take it easy.
Everything's okay.
This will make you sparkle and shine.
This is Eve.
She's the one who stopped that truck.
If it weren't for her,
you might not be alive.
How ironic.
She came home with us
to make sure you're okay.
She's had medical training.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
I'm just having a hard time
swallowing all of this.
Well, thank you again.
I don't know how we can repay you.
Oh, it was nothing, really.
After Casey rests a bit,
can we offer to drive you somewhere?
Let's go to the mall!
Ugh.
I just love this car.
I got an orange one at home,
but you have to push it.
Yeah, I had one of those.
Triple A canceled me.
Wow. What are all these buttons for?
Don't touch them. Stop!
Wow. What does this one do?
Wow! This is so great!
This is nice.
I haven't had the top down in ages.
Whoo!
- This is so much fun!
- Um, Eve,
you should probably put your seat belt on.
You're right. Safety first.
You're all that
I want you to know it, boy
That's all that
You have got it all together
- Hi.
- Hi, mom.
Everything is so beautiful here.
Even the people.
Sometimes it's hard to tell
what's real from what's plastic.
It's all plastic where I come from.
- Where's that?
- Sunnyvale.
Sunnyvale? I don't know it.
How long have you been here?
Oh, I just arrived.
It was a sort of
spur-of-the-moment decision.
Mm, and how long are you staying?
I don't know.
I don't even know where I'm staying.
In fact, my clothes and accessories
haven't even arrived yet,
but I'm sure they will really soon.
Don't count on it.
I guess they don't have
escalators in Sunnyvale, do they?
Mm-mm.
Whew.
Oh, it's perfect! It's just what I need.
But my credit cards
are with the rest of my stuff.
I don't mean to be forward,
but given your situation,
why don't you let me loan you money,
you can pay me when your things arrive?
It's the least I can do.
Dad!
Oh, Ben, you're so awesome!
Thank you so much!
- And as far as a place to stay goes
- Wait! You're not thinking about...
we do have a guesthouse.
You're welcome to use it for a few days
until you figure out what you're gonna do.
Really? Thank you so much.
Dad, you can't. That's mom's old studio.
Hold on.
- Hello. Uh
- What are you trying to do?
I've gotta stay somewhere.
Go find a dollhouse.
But then I can't stay
with my special friends.
Ugh.
We'll just have to reschedule it. I can't.
- I'll be right in. I'll be right in.
- Come on. Dad.
Excuse me.
You should love animals, not wear them.
- Casey.
- Finally.
Oh, isn't this so much fun?
Us girls getting out
and doing what we do best?
Us girls?
Since when did I become
your shopping buddy?
Oh, you'd look so cool.
I wouldn't wear this thing if you paid me.
You're really starting to bug me.
Remind me to thank Drew later.
Who's Drew?
Oh, she works with my dad.
She gave you to me for my birthday.
That's one gift I should've never opened.
Look at that over there.
Okay, dress me.
That does it. I'm outta here.
But, Casey
Eve's never dressed herself before.
Oh-oh
I say, hey, boy, sittin' in your tree
Mummy always wants you to come for tea
I wanna know just what to do
Is it very big?
Is there room for two?
I got a house with windows and doors
I'll show you mine
If you show me yours
I'm the wolf today
Hey, hey, hey
I'll huff, I'll puff
I'll huff, I'll puff
I'll blow you away
Say you won't
Say you'll do what I don't
Say you're true, say to me
C'est la vie
Say you will, say you won't
Say you'll do what I don't
Say you're true
C'est la vie
Do you play with the girls?
Play with the boys?
Do you ever get lonely
Playing with your toys?
We can talk, we can sing
I can't read this.
I know. Everything's in Italian.
The only thing they translate
are the prices, but everything's good.
I can order for you if you like.
Hi, Antonio.
Um, Eve and I are gonna have the special,
and Case, spaghetti?
Okay.
- Wow, real food!
- Exactly.
That's what I love about this place.
None of that hip, trendy stuff.
Mmm
This is fabulous.
Well, they do have good bread here.
Would you like some, uh, butter?
Mmm.
Mmm-mmm!
Mmm
Can't wait till you try the linguine.
So, I guess Sunnyvale isn't exactly
the restaurant capital of the world.
- Where is it again?
- Yeah, I'm dying to know.
It's a perfect little town,
right smack-dab in the middle of America,
where the sun always shines.
Mm
- And what do you do there?
- I do all kinds of things.
Law enforcement, medicine, office work.
- You do all that?
- Mm-hmm.
Wow. I can't even find a good secretary.
I just fired my last one,
the fourth this month.
I'm a great secretary.
I type and I file
and I work with computers.
- You know, it's a must these days.
- Really? Do you know Apple or Windows?
Both. I love apples.
I don't know, uh, if you'd be interested,
but I could really use some help tomorrow.
- But, Dad, she can't.
- Of course I'll help.
Great.
You know, Ben,
even though I do so many things,
my real purpose in life is to help girls.
I strive to present
a positive image of womanhood.
'Cause I believe that girls everywhere
should know that all things are possible.
My wife believed that.
Were you, um, ever married?
No, and it's too bad
'cause I look awesome in a wedding dress.
The men back home are so good-looking,
but they're so stiff.
You are the most interesting man
that I have ever met.
Well, you have definitely
got to get out more.
Uh, dad, don't you have any work to do?
Nope, I'm yours for the day.
Would you, uh, excuse me for a minute?
I'll be right back.
Your dad is so much cuter
than those guys back in Sunnyvale.
You stay away from him. Got that?
Why? He likes me.
He can't like you, you're a doll!
Not anymore.
"Past Pages bookstore.
Enter name of book."
"Holcroft's Book of the Dead,
Volume II."
"Due in one week."
One week?
I only have three more days.
Whoo! Whoo!
Let's get outta here, just you and me.
Isn't that what you really want?
Coming up next
on the shopping network,
indulge yourself with the finest clothing,
jewelry, footwear, and household items.
Sit back, relax,
and at the touch of a button,
select anything your heart desires.
Dad?
Yeah, Case?
I've gotta tell you something,
but you probably won't believe me.
Pretty weak for
an opening argument, counselor.
Remember that book?
Well, it had a spell,
I used it, and it worked.
What do you mean, it worked?
I tried to bring Mom back to life,
and the spell worked and all,
but not on Mom.
That doll that Drew gave me?
I brought it to life instead.
Dad, Eve's really a doll.
Casey
I knew you wouldn't believe me!
Everything she told you was a lie!
You've never heard of Sunnyvale
because it doesn't exist.
I haven't heard of a lot of towns.
But you don't think it's weird
that she looks like the doll
and talks like the doll
and has the same name?
A lot of women have that name.
And I will admit that, at times,
she can be rather
Odd
but there's something
very sweet about her.
I'm telling you the truth.
Why won't you believe me?
You're asking me to believe
that a doll can come to life.
But it's true! I'll prove it!
"Certificate of Authenticity.
Registered number A4618."
Hi, Ellen. This is Eve.
- She's gonna be temping for me today.
- Hi!
What agency are you with?
She's not. She's from out of town.
So, if you could just help
her get situated here
and then send her on back,
I'd appreciate it.
Okay.
I need some information
for our employee database.
Your last name?
I don't have one.
Address?
1 Maple Lane, Sunnyvale.
Sunnyvale.
What state's that in?
The sunshine state.
Oh, Florida.
Your previous position?
Sitting?
I meant, where was your last job?
Oh, I was helping out
with the space shuttle.
Finally, someone who knows
what they're doing.
Ben, I am all set.
- Um
- Hello.
- That was the fax.
- I know. Every office is different.
The fax is right here,
the phone has its own headset,
and the computer's linked up
to all the other stations.
This is so much fun.
I just need you to do
these letters for me.
Just enter them in the, uh, letters file.
And any questions, I'm right in there.
Okay.
Well, well, hello, there.
You need any help?
No. Eve can handle anything.
Uh, may I?
I'm not sure Ben wanted that.
There. Better to be on the safe side.
- Starting a new job can be rough, huh?
- Yes. It's very important
to make a good impression
on your first day of work.
Yes, it is.
Um
- I'm Richard Ackerman. And you are?
- Eve.
I'm a star.
Star light, star bright,
wish I may, wish I might.
Um, you know, Eve,
I've, uh, got a few minutes.
If you want, I could, uh,
give you some computer tips.
Really? Oh, Eve never says no to learning.
Eve
Could I see you in here
for a minute, please?
In there?
Eve?
That is funny.
Um, the the talk button's on the left.
Richie, this is Eve.
- Richie?
- What?
This is Eve,
the one I was telling you about.
She's staying in the, uh the guesthouse.
Oh!
Oh, so you're the one?
Ooh.
Eve, could you, uh
Could you meet me in my office, please?
Sure.
Uh I guess I'll take
a rain check on that lesson.
Okay. I'll wear my razzle dazzle raincoat.
- I can't wait.
- Yeah.
Hoo, hoo, hoo, yes!
Man, you really took
my move on suggestion to heart, huh?
Richie, I don't know what you're thinking,
but there's nothing going on.
Really?
- Yeah.
- Even better.
So, if I wanted to, um, ask her out
to the firm party tonight, you...
Richie, I'm not dating her.
If you want to ask her,
she's gonna be here all day.
You're the man, Ben.
You the man.
Eve, I've got some filing for you.
Ben, what's wrong?
- Oh, I did something to my neck.
- Oh, I can fix that.
Oh, no. No, no, no.
It's It's really fine. I don't
Oh, yeah.
Wow. Don't tell me.
You used to be a masseuse.
A massage therapist.
I don't really know if the workplace
is the place for this...
Don't talk.
Sit back and relax.
Ben?
- Hey, Drew.
- Hi!
It's 10:30. Did you want me to come back...
No, no, no, no. It's fine, it's fine.
Drew McDonald, Eve. Eve, Drew.
Uh, Eve's temping for me today.
So you're Drew?
Oh, it's so nice to meet you.
You look awfully familiar. Have we met?
- At the sports club? Yoga class?
- Nope.
I got it... Law school.
Eve's actually, um, from out of town.
It's quite a story.
I'll tell you later.
Eve, I've gotta run.
I'm gonna have Ellen come in here
and show you what to do and
Uh, are you sure you're okay
with all of this?
Ben, don't worry.
I'll take care of everything.
Great. Thanks.
Today's the day
We're out to play
And lost our way
It's always the same
Oh, baby, now
Climbed the trees
Swam the seven seas
We've grazed our knees
And no one's to blame, oh
Come and sit beside us
We'll give you such a thrill
We're not nice, we're cool as ice
We'll give you quite a chill
Let your imagination
Take over on this ride
Out of sight, all right
Hold on tight
Come on
Come on
Get it on
Roller coaster of love
Come on
Come along
Eve can handle anything!
Roller coaster of love
Recycling saves our planet.
And exactly which planet is that?
Ow!
Oh! My nail!
Oh, I broke it! I broke it! I broke it!
You're not gonna throw me away, are you?
Oh
Come on
Come on
Sit.
Francine,
could you please call
a cab for our Miss Eve?
I don't understand.
Where I come from,
I am the perfect secretary.
Eve never fails.
Look, honey, we can't
all succeed at everything.
We each have our own talent.
I mean, if I looked half as good as you
I can't get this one guy at the office
to even look at me.
What?
Ellen, all you need is a touch of base.
You've got lovely skin.
Just a hint of this blush on those cheeks,
and it'll bring out that natural color.
Let's take a look.
Oh
You've made a new woman out of me.
Cab's here.
Ellen, is that you?
Francine, there's someone
I want you to meet.
Hi!
Can I help you?
I hope so.
I got one of those Eve dolls,
and it came with this certificate.
What's it for?
That guarantees that you have
an authentic Eve doll.
Each doll has its own number
stamped on the certificate
As well as
Right here.
You mean every doll has this?
Yep. It never comes off.
It's your way of proving
you've got the genuine article,
a real Eve.
I got you now, Miss Sparkle and Shine.
Here we go again
This time it's my rules
Here we go again
Tears are just for fools
Stronger now than I was before
Hey, Casey. Do you like
my firecracker-red nails?
Wait, what are you doing?
Getting the proof I need.
Ah.
Exhibit A.
Once my dad sees this, it's adios.
We don't have to show him
right now, do we?
At least not until after tonight.
What's tonight?
I'm going to your dad's party.
That nice man Richard invited me.
What? You can't go to a party.
Why not? It's what I do.
Besides, Casey,
can't a girl have a little bit of fun?
You just don't know when to quit, do you?
Just because you're gorgeous
doesn't mean you get everything you want.
Your days are numbered, literally.
Fancy meeting you here.
- Hey, Drew.
- Hi.
Wow, you look great.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
Richie doesn't waste
any time, does he?
No, he sure doesn't.
Let's just hope
her self-defense skills
are better than her secretarial skills.
I heard she really did a number
on the office...
A one-woman wrecking crew.
Yeah, I know, but for some reason,
Ellen was raving about her.
Wow!
This is so much more exciting
than Eve's Grand Ball back in Sunnyvale.
They sure know
how to make 'em in Sunnyvale.
Who, me? I wasn't made there.
No? Where?
Indonesia, but I was packaged locally.
Mmm.
Mmm.
Mmm.
Care for some punch?
Try this.
Oh!
- Mmm. It's good.
- Mmm.
- You are wild.
- Richie!
Ah.
Oh, no. It's Mr. and Mrs. Boring.
How have you been?
Oh! Still billing people
you talk to at parties?
I'll make an exception in your case.
John, Susan, this is Eve.
Nice to meet you, Mr. Boring.
Mrs. Boring.
So, Eve, are you a lawyer?
I have been.
Oh, and what do you do now?
Depends on what outfit I'm wearing.
If I didn't know better,
I'd swear you were mentally
dictating a brief just now.
Sorry.
We can all make this world a better place.
Because Eve cares about
poverty and world hunger.
That's why I'm the perfect
role model for girls.
Uh-huh.
Why'd they leave?
Everybody loves Eve.
You are brilliant. You got rid of them.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- Hey, guys.
- Hi, Ben.
Eve, you having fun?
Oh, Ben, you gotta dance with me.
Uh, Richie, you mind?
- No, go ahead.
- Come on.
Ow!
Relax.
I don't understand.
I'm the best ballroom dancer in Sunnyvale.
Listen to the music.
That's it.
- Wow.
- See? You've got it.
You watching?
How can a girl compete with that?
Yeah, she's somethin', isn't she?
Indonesians. Hoo-hoo.
How do you do it?
Do what?
Every time I'm with you,
I forget all about work
and pressure and clients.
Ben, you think
about those things too much.
Life should be fun.
You really believe
it's that simple, don't you?
- Time's up, pal.
- Richie.
You did really good.
Where'd you learn to dance like that, huh?
Oh, Ben is such a nice guy.
Too nice.
If you were staying at my house,
I'd never let you out.
And you are in such terrific shape.
I mean,
how do you do so many things
and still find time to work out?
Fitness is very important.
Do you know I'm anatomically correct?
Uh, that's my favorite type.
Why don't we get out of here, huh?
Away from all this noise, just you and me?
Isn't that what you want?
Whoa! What was that for?
Wasn't I supposed to do that?
You were being forward.
No, I wasn't.
I-I
You're right.
I deserved that.
I am sorry for acting this way.
Richie, you don't have to act at all.
Women will love you
for just being yourself.
I mean, come on. Look at you.
You're friendly and you're funny.
And you're really handsome.
Really? You think so?
Yes.
Wow.
That's the nicest, most honest thing
a woman's ever said to me.
Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen,
the band will now take requests.
So if there's anything you'd like to hear,
we'd be happy to play it for you.
- Is it okay?
- Sure.
Do you know "Be a Star"?
No, but if you sing it,
I'm sure we can follow you.
Okay.
Eve's great, no matter where she goes
Dress her up from her head to her toes
On the town, at the mall
Eve loves high fashion
After dark, at the club
She'll spend the whole night dancin'
Shine bright, shine far
Don't be shy, be a star
Where you live, where you are
Be a star
Shine bright, shine far
Be a star
Where you live, where you are
Be a star
Come on, everybody! You can all be stars!
Let's dance!
Eve walks the walk
And she does it right
She takes a stand
Eve shines so bright
Now, get all of your friends
Do you have any idea
who she's dancing with?
No.
Judge Peterman, 10th Circuit.
Shine bright, shine far
His briefs will never be the same again.
Where you live, where you are
Be a star
Come on! Put your hands together!
Shine bright, shine far
Don't be shy, be a star
Where you live, where you are
Be a star
Shine bright, shine far
Be a star
Where you live, where you are
Be a star
Stardust and moonlight
Ellen.
Um
Believe me, this isn't a line
or anything, but
You really look very beautiful tonight.
Would you, uh, care to dance?
Oh, yeah.
Shine bright, shine far
Be a star
Where you live, where you are
Be a star
Shine bright, shine far
Be a star
Where you live, where you are
Be a star
Get all of your friends
And let's get together
We can make the good times
Last forever
Whoo! It's all about love.
Ben, did you see that big lady dancing?
This is a night I'll never forget.
Neither will anyone else.
I wonder who's asleep,
Casey or the babysitter.
Dad?
Dad?
How's the guesthouse?
Oh, Ben, it's perfect. Thank you so much.
Sure. Thank you.
Oh, Ben, look, real stars.
They look so far away.
Yeah.
There's Pleiades... the Seven Sisters.
And see those bright ones right there?
That's Perseus.
Wow, they all have names.
They're so beautiful.
Wow, Ben, look at the moon.
I never knew it could be so romantic.
Ben, I had such a great time tonight.
What about you?
Yeah, who knew you could have
that much fun in a room full of lawyers?
There's only one thing missing
to make it a perfect evening.
Dad?
How could you?
Casey.
Your eyes.
They're wet.
Casey, wait.
Casey!
Case
Go away!
Nothing happened, Casey.
She was trying to kiss you
so that you would fall in love with her!
I'm not falling in love
with anyone, honey.
You let her stay
in Mom's special place, Dad.
Sweetie
Nothing I do is gonna make a difference!
Everything is ruined.
Case
Just go away. I hate you.
Let's go. Go, go, go, go!
That's okay. Listen,
keep your eye on the ball, okay?
You dropped it again, Weiner-head!
That's it, Casey. You're benched.
No! I've got to practice.
The championship game is tomorrow.
You should have thought about that before.
Aren't sports fun?
- They keep you fit.
- What do you want?
If you're looking for my dad,
you've got the wrong place
'cause he doesn't come anymore.
Really? But I came to see you.
Casey, last night,
you had water in your eyes,
and it ran down your cheeks.
It's called crying.
You really don't get it, do you?
When people are sad,
it makes tears in their eyes.
Where do the tears come from?
From in here.
Well, why were you so sad?
Being human is so much fun.
You don't know the first thing
about being human.
Of course I do. It's so easy.
That's what you think.
You're always happy.
Well, real life's not perfect.
You've never been hurt.
You've never loved someone so much,
and then all of a sudden they're gone,
forever.
Your mom?
She was fine.
I mean, she just went in for a checkup.
Then they found something.
Before I knew it, she was gone.
Just like that.
Nothing was ever the same.
You know what?
Maybe I don't know that much
about being human.
But I do know one thing.
Casey, what happened to you was not fair.
Every girl deserves to have her mother
And nobody can ever,
ever replace her for you.
You know what? I got a great idea...
The perfect thing for a time like this.
Meet me back at the house, okay?
Well, that's everything.
I'd say we're ready.
You nail this deposition tomorrow,
and you've nailed the case.
And the partnership.
That's the plan.
Was there something else?
Well, actually
Ben, I was talking to Ellen,
and she showed me
Eve's employment application.
Have you seen it?
I think you might find this interesting.
Last three jobs...
"NASA Payload Specialist,
Policewoman, Sunnyvale PD,
and Doctor, Sunnyvale hospital."
She definitely has
a vivid imagination.
Ben, I'm serious.
There's something strange about her.
I'm worried she's up to something.
Well, I admit she's a bit different,
but I think she's harmless.
Maybe I'm just being jealous.
Just keep an eye on her.
I don't wanna see you or Casey get hurt.
Drew
Yeah?
It's nice to know you're jealous.
Where's Eve's magic cookbook?
It's got blue stars on the cover.
Blue stars, blue stars,
blue stars, blue stars
Not here.
Oh, well.
I'll just improvise.
Casey, help me, please! Help me!
- Oh, please, oh
- What have you done?
Ah! Casey!
No, let me do it!
I'm a forest ranger! Let me do it!
Get out! No way!
Oh, no!
Oh!
Casey, Casey, get it! Casey, get it!
- I'm so stupid! I'm so stupid!
- Ugh!
So much for vanilla surprise.
Some surprise.
You could have burnt the house down!
See?
Nothing I do is right.
I can't type, and I can't cook.
I'm supposed to be such a good role model.
Look at me.
I need my Fun 'N' Splash hot tub.
Yeah, go ahead and laugh.
Look at me... I'm a wreck.
Look at your face.
Look at yours.
Wow. Look at those pretty eyes.
They're not that great.
Oh, yes, they are. They're amazing.
You know, Casey,
you're a really pretty girl.
There is nothing wrong
with showing that sometimes.
You got lovely eyes,
and a really sweet smile.
Dad used to call it my 100-watt smile.
Guess it got short-circuited.
I wish I could help bring it back.
Casey, I have a confession to make.
I've hardly helped any girls yet.
No one wants to even buy me anymore.
I don't know what's wrong with me.
First of all, you're already beautiful,
so lose the sparkle-and-shine stuff.
That went out with disco.
And look at all the things that you do.
I mean, you're a classic overachiever.
Nobody's this good at everything.
But I'm supposed to always be perfect.
Do you realize how hard it is to be me?
It is not easy being the best
at so many things.
Nobody's great at everything.
Part of being human is making mistakes.
But I'm a doll.
Dolls are supposed to be perfect.
Perfect is boring.
My mom always taught me
that it's not about being the best,
it's about trying your best.
So being a role model doesn't mean
that I have to be perfect all the time.
You got it.
Casey, what about you, though?
Seems to me you've just given up trying.
Don't tell me
you've been a psychiatrist too.
See, there you go again...
Always pushing people away.
I can't help it.
I mean, everything's different,
and nobody understands.
But you gotta give people a chance.
Your mom would want you to be happy...
To be with your friends and have fun.
Casey, you have so much to offer.
So much inside of you.
You just gotta let it out.
You think so?
I know so.
Eve, you're okay.
Come here. Mmm.
Casey, I had so much fun tonight.
We did have fun, didn't we?
I haven't laughed like that in so long.
You know what?
You really are my special friend.
I don't mean to interrupt,
but it's way past somebody's bedtime.
Night, Dad.
Good night, sweetheart.
Good night, Eve.
Come on, let's get you to bed.
- Good night.
- Good night.
That was nice.
I think Casey's starting to like you.
I haven't seen her smile that much in
I don't know how long.
Well, I'm gonna, uh...
I'm gonna go to bed.
Ben
I went to Casey's practice today.
She is so good. You should have seen her.
I know. She is amazing, isn't she?
I used to go all the time,
but, I don't know, um
Work just keeps interfering.
I'm sure when things slow down,
you'll be at every game again.
'Cause you're her biggest fan, right?
Right.
Good night, Ben.
Good night, Eve.
Hey!
Big game today.
I'll be there. I promise.
So don't let them start without me, okay?
Mwah.
Sure, Dad.
"Holcroft's Book of the Dead,
Volume II has arrived.
Call Past Pages Bookstore."
The increased rate hike will
go into effect at the end of this year.
And in financial news,
Marathon Toys announced
more disappointing sales figures
for their Eve doll.
Reflecting the downward trend
in sales of all fashion dolls,
Eve's performance has continued to slide.
That's my car.
That's my mall!
Company officials have begun
the process of pulling back the line.
A decision on whether to cancel the doll
will come in two weeks.
No, they can't.
Home.
It appears the sun may finally
be setting on Sunnyvale.
Come back!
Now,
a look at local weather
Hey, Eve, guess what?
The used bookstore just got Volume II.
- What?
- Today's the fourth day.
By sunset, this will all become permanent.
Permanent?
Yeah. You'll never have
to be a doll again.
It's official. You're here to stay.
Guess we won't be needing
that book after all.
Now that we're friends and all,
I could never send you back.
- You're part of the family.
- But, Casey, I just saw on the TV...
There's my ride. Gotta go.
I'll see you at the game.
Casey, wait!
Here they are...
The Notre Dame Knights
and the home-team Windsor Wildcats!
Stretch them out. Stretch them out.
This is it.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the championship game is about to begin.
Where are they? We were supposed to
be done a half hour ago.
They're trying to sweat us out.
Relax, guys.
This is a breach of the deposition.
The court reporter should
just sign the certificate.
- It's unacceptable.
- They'll be here.
This is grounds
to postpone the trial.
What do you think, Ben?
Ben?
What?
You guys are more than prepared
to handle this.
Ben, where are you going?
I'm going to a football game.
How's Casey gonna win
without her biggest fan?
Yes!
Ben. Ben.
Where are you going?
They just called. They're on their way.
Phil, ten minutes ago,
the Super Bowl of seventh grade started,
and Casey's the quarterback.
I haven't been to a game all year,
and I'm not about to miss her last one.
Ben.
I've never let you down before,
and if this jeopardizes
my chances for partnership, so be it,
but I've already lost
someone very close to me,
and I'm not about
to let that happen again.
Hut!
Here we go, here we go!
Here we go!
Home-team quarterback
Casey Stuart
with an eight-yard run.
First down, Wildcats,
with 5:09 remaining in the first quarter.
Come on, Wildcats!
Come on, Bruce, kill 'em for me!
That's my son.
- Ben?
- How's it going, Phyllis?
Where have you been this season?
I gave up on you.
Yeah, somebody else did, too.
Hut!
Go, Casey!
Aw
That's my daughter.
I'm waiting for the perfect time
When I can sneak out
Of my window, and, baby
I am countin' every second, boy
Until I'm next to you
But you just don't understand
The things you do to me
You'll never realize
How you set my spirit free
It's like tryin' to keep
The rain from fallin'
I can't keep my heart from callin'
There's nothin' in this world
That they can do
To keep me away from you
Even if it takes forever
I know we will be together
There's nothin' in this world
That they can do
To keep me away from
It's like tryin' to keep
The rain from fallin'
I can't keep my heart from callin'
There's nothin' in this world
That they can do
Second down and six yards
to go on the 45-yard line.
The home team trails by four points
with 12 seconds left in the game.
Let's go! Whoo!
Let's go, Case!
- Whoo!
- Hey.
- Hey, Eve, you made it!
- So did you!
I have you to thank for that.
Let's go, kids!
- Ben, I came to say goodbye.
- What?
I came to say g...
Tell me later. The game's almost over.
Tell me at the end.
Ready?
Come on, Casey!
One more touchdown, Case!
That's all we need!
Blue 42, Blue 42!
Ready, set, hut! Hut!
I'm open!
Fire it!
Yes! Go!
Go, Weiner! Go! Go, Weiner!
Go! Go! Go!
Go, Weiner!
Yeah!
The referee
has signaled "No touchdown."
Oh, my God.
The final score
of today's game...
The New City champion,
Notre Dame Knights, 14,
the Windsor Wildcats, 10.
What happened?
They lost.
I'll be right back.
That's all right.
That was the best pass I've ever seen.
Oh, Daddy.
I am so proud of you.
Win or lose, you were great
out there today.
I'm so sorry I haven't been there for you.
I could never tell you
It just hurt too much.
All the things we used to do together,
you and your mom and I.
She would be so proud of you.
I miss her so much.
I know.
I miss her, too, sweetheart.
Well, that's a 50-watter.
You wanna go for 100?
I know it's heartbreaking
'cause it was so close,
but you played a great game.
You did. It was great.
Hey, Casey. Nice pass.
For a girl?
For anyone.
Thanks, Wein... Thanks, Bruce.
- Where's Eve?
- That nice-looking woman?
She just left.
She asked me to tell you goodbye.
- What?
- She said she found a book,
got someone to read it to her,
and she's headed home.
To Sunnyvale?
Oh, no. She's going back.
But why? I don't get it.
Case, what are you talking about?
There's no time to explain.
We've gotta stop her.
We're going to Sunnyvale.
I thought Sunnyvale was in middle America.
More like the middle of downtown. Come on.
- What's going on?
- Eve's about to have a meltdown.
Sir?
I'm home.
You're late.
Follow the footsteps.
Sun of suns, moon of moons,
once awakened, now to return.
Here it is.
The sun sets at 6:01 p.m.,
so we have to hurry.
Casey, do you wanna let me in on this?
Goodbye.
Excuse me, did someone who looks like
the Eve doll just come in here?
You mean the woman from the photo shoots?
Yeah. She came in
to pick up her last paycheck.
I sent her to payroll.
Follow the footsteps.
"Payroll."
It's locked.
Eve's backpack.
Oh, no.
We'll never find her.
Casey?
We made it in time. It's not too late.
Oh, Casey, it is.
The spell's complete.
- I don't have much time.
- No, you can't go.
- Why are you doing this?
- Wait
It's not possible. Right?
You can't really be a
I'm going home now.
It's where I belong.
Casey, they're about to cancel the doll.
They need me back in Sunnyvale.
But we need you, too.
You can't just leave us.
We love you.
I love you both.
You have taught me so much.
I know I've helped one little girl.
Hopefully there'll be many more to come.
This is where I belong.
It's my home.
I know I wasn't doing
such a good job there before,
but thanks to you, now I know why.
I can go back now,
and everything that you taught me
will be a part of all the dolls.
But if I don't go,
there won't be any more Eve.
This is unbelievable. I don't know
What to say,
except thank you.
I'll never forget you.
Bye, Casey.
Bye, Eve.
Look for me in Sunnyvale.
How about we put her
someplace real special?
Okay?
- Ah.
- Hey, look at that.
Wow.
Hey, Sarah, wait up!
Dad, can I go?
Yeah. Go ahead.
- Hi, Casey. Your hair looks great.
- Thanks.
I was gonna go pick up some CDs.
You guys wanna come?
You're not too busy?
- Not anymore.
- Okay. Let's go.
- I have so much to tell you.
- So do I.
There you are. Am I late?
- No, I just got here.
- Well, good.
Where's Casey?
Uh, she's with some of her old friends.
- That's a change.
- A lot of things have changed.
Well, they sure have, partner.
So, where do you wanna go
for your congratulations lunch?
Oh! How about the new vegetarian place?
Uh
Things haven't changed that much.
Oh, it's amazing, Sam.
They've given Eve a whole new makeover.
Whatever it is, it's working.
Mommy, look what I got!
Oh, honey, that's wonderful.
Hi, I'm Eve.
Show me your 100-watt smile.
Eve's great
No matter where she goes
Dress her up
From her head to her toes
On the town, at the mall
Eve loves high fashion
After dark, at the club
She'll spend the whole night dancin'
Shine bright, shine far
Don't be shy, be a star
Where you live, where you are
Shout it out
Be a star
Shine bright, shine far
Be a star
Where you live, where you are
Be a star
Shine bright, shine far
Don't be shy, be a star
Where you live, where you are
Be a star
Shine bright, shine far
Be a star
Where you live, where you are
Be a star
Shine bright, shine far
Don't be shy, be a star
