I'm telling you this, Jane, because Priscilla may very well come to you for comfort.
She's very frightened for her future.
She just knows - Are you bored? something strange How could I be bored when Dr.
Lovechick has just told his nurse that he suspects that Priscilla, his blind patient, has a rash that you could only get from contact with an alien? I have something better.
What am I allowed to do that could be better than this? Sam? David? Okay, go ahead.
Just like we rehearsed.
Okay? Jesus loves me, this I know For the Bible tells me so Little ones to him belong They are weak, but he is strong Yes, Jesus loves me Yes, Jesus loves me Yes, Jesus loves me Annie? For the Bible tells me so Why don't you, uh, find Mommy and sing it for her, because Daddy's, uh, a little angry with Jesus right now? Jesus loves me, this I know For the Bible tells me so Yes, Jesus loves me Why? Yes, Jesus loves me What are you doing? Eric? - Eric? - Aah! - Don't do that.
- I didn't mean to scare you.
- You should be upstairs resting.
- Resting? Oh, you think I can rest with that racket? One more chorus of "Jesus Loves Me," and, uh, I'm not gonna care.
They just wanted to do something special for Daddy.
Well, that wasn't something Daddy wanted done for him.
- What do you want? - I want a lot of things.
A big piece of Boston cream pie.
A hot pot-roast sandwich.
A day without feeling so agitated I want to crawl out of my skin.
The doctors said that you're just withdrawing from all the drugs used in the surgery.
- You'll be okay.
- What's okay? - Where're you going? - I'm going to my office.
What are you going to do in your office? If you don't stop bugging me, I'm going to lift weights and jump rope.
Jesus loves me, this I know - Make it stop.
- Mm-hm.
For the Bible tells me so And he's so cute.
You won't believe it.
He's gorgeous.
And he's sexy.
Great.
And I want you two to be best friends, because we're best friends.
- Right? - Right.
Okay.
Maybe we're not best friends, but we're good friends.
And you know how I am.
I don't always make the best decisions when it comes to guys.
So I really want you to meet Mark.
We've been going out for weeks and you two haven't even met.
So he's a football player, huh? He said football, but football over there is soccer.
- Over where? - In France.
Did I tell you he's French? Ooh, he is so hot.
So if you had to describe me to Mark, how would you describe me? I did describe you to Mark.
I said you're cute, and you're sweet and you're smart.
- That's it? - Cecilia? Mark, Simon.
Simon, Mark.
Cecilia tells me you're a very nice boy.
- What's wrong with a book? - It's boring.
Books aren't boring.
- They are to 12-year-old guys.
- No, not if it's the right book.
And why do you have to buy this guy anything at all? Because it's his birthday.
Whatever happened to making birthday presents? I'm not taking a homemade birthday present to a party.
- I don't want them to see me.
- Why not? Because then I couldn't see what they're really up to.
Go, go, go.
So, what are they doing now? They're just watching us.
- Are they hiding? - Yes.
Are we just gonna stand here acting as if we don't see them? Of course.
If you were buying an engagement ring for yourself, which one would it be? I'm never going to buy an engagement ring for myself.
But if you could imagine there was a guy who wanted to buy me an engagement ring I would take the one in the estate section.
The one with the pearls.
- No diamond, huh? - No, I'm not a diamond person.
Too common.
But pearls are nice.
I don't believe it.
He's letting Roxanne pick out my ring.
- We don't know that.
- What does it look like to you? It looks like two police officers who are on duty at the promenade are stopping to look into a window.
If we saw them looking at ice cream, would you think they were buying ice cream for you? You don't see the difference in diamonds and ice cream? You don't see the difference in he loves you and he works with her? He's letting the woman he works with pick out a ring for the woman he loves.
That's not right.
Please tell me we're not gonna keep hanging around the promenade lurking in the shadows until those two get off work? - You wanna hang out at home? - No one wants to hang out at home.
- But I do want to buy a gift.
- Yeah, a gift.
We'll get to it.
Right now, we're going to take a look inside that jewellery store.
- Where are they now? - They're heading this way.
- Do you think they'll come inside? - No.
Lucy's not confrontational.
How long do you think they'll follow us? If I know Lucy, probably till we get off work.
Can she try on that ring in the estate section? Mm-hm.
You see why I'm crazy about her? What are you doing? - We're hiding from Roxanne and Kevin.
- Why? Lucy thinks Roxanne's picking out her engagement ring.
I didn't know Roxanne was getting married.
My ring.
She's picking out my ring for Kevin because he doesn't see anything wrong with that.
I wasn't even aware that Kevin had proposed.
He needs a ring to propose.
Um, well, uh, that's That's Lucy and the younger one is Ruthie, and there's, uh, Simon.
The oldest boy, Matt, got married last year to a rabbi's daughter and Mary is a flight attendant and I think she lives in Fort Lauderdale.
- Five children, wow.
- Seven.
He's got, uh, 3-year-old twins living at home.
Oh, and one of Mary's old boyfriends has been living with them for the last couple of years.
- What's his wife like? - Annie? Oh.
Everybody loves Annie.
You're insane.
He's a cop and she's a cop.
- They probably saw you already.
- No, they didn't.
This is Simon's older sister Lucy, and his younger sister Ruthie.
It's very nice to meet you.
This is my boyfriend, Mark.
What are we doing here? The Camden kids are basically really good kids.
They They just Well Let's just say that being in the spotlight has, uh, isolated them in the spotlight.
Oh, I'm sorry about this.
Lucy and Ruthie should have been home by now.
Simon too, for that matter.
- Uh, it's okay.
I don't mind helping out.
- I know.
And I appreciate that.
But the others are supposed to be helping out too.
They're just tired of being in the house.
Aren't you tired? Isn't it time you start dating again? The only woman I've met that I'm interested in is Roxanne and that's a problem for Lucy, so I'm just gonna focus on school.
You know what I think? Ugh.
I think if you're interested in Roxanne and Roxanne is interested in you, the two of you should go out no matter what Lucy thinks.
- I'll see what he wants.
- I know.
He wants to annoy me because I made him get out of his office.
I didn't want him to get all worked up over things that he doesn't need to be worrying about.
You stay with Robbie.
Could I get you to do something for me? - Of course.
- Could you go and get my computer? If I had my computer, I could do some writing.
Your computer's in the kitchen.
I'll get it.
What's my computer doing in the kitchen? I thought you said I left it at the church.
You did leave it at the church, but Lou brought it over.
I hid it in a kitchen cabinet because I didn't want you working on your sermons when you're supposed to be taking it easy.
When did Lou bring it by? I think it was when you were in the hospital or Or maybe it was the week when you came home from hospital.
I don't know.
It was some time between running errands and, uh, grocery shopping, uh, laundry, bathing children, feeding people, cleaning the house.
You know, I just sort of don't remember.
I've been wanting to write for days.
I didn't wanna ask you to get the computer, because I know how much you have to do.
Do you? Jesus loves me, this I know For the Bible tells me so Little ones to him belong They are weak, but he is strong Yes, Jesus loves me I'm Gabrielle.
Uh, the Colonel sent me.
He said you needed some help.
Jesus loves me, this I know Hi.
I'm Lucy and this is Ruthie.
Look, I don't know who you are, but you shouldn't be smoking.
- It keeps me awake.
- What if it doesn't? What if you fall asleep in bed with one of those cancer sticks in your hand? Hopefully I'll be so drunk I'll be cremated before they find me and they can just put me in an old peanut-butter jar and toss me out to sea.
Mm.
Which reminds me, your parents got any booze in the house? You have got to call him.
I thought you didn't want me to work.
Calling the Colonel is work.
Stressful work.
I I don't wanna call him.
I'm fine with her.
You call him.
I apologise for interrupting.
Did you know that there's an old woman on our back porch? She's in a uniform and she's smoking and The Colonel sent her to help me out around the house.
- Uh, that's great.
- What's great about it? I know you needed some help.
Did you tell the Colonel that I need help? No.
No.
I haven't even talked to the Colonel.
I might have said something about how hard you're working, but I never mentioned that you needed some help.
Hey, there's this really cool woman on the back porch.
- What? - Could I possibly get each of you to go upstairs and straighten up your rooms like you were going to when you got home from school? And then could you set the table and help me finish dinner? I was hoping that that's what she was for.
Get rid of her.
I don't need another person to take care of.
Especially one who obviously needs help.
Why can't you just call my dad and get him to get rid of her? - She was a gift to you.
- Okay.
- I'll get rid of her.
- I'll get rid of her.
I hardly see why this isn't categorised as work I shouldn't be doing.
I just had open-heart surgery.
I'm not well.
I'm supposed to be resting.
But I'll get rid of her.
Uh Hey, a little help here.
I'm going to find a picture of the ring I want and then give it to Kevin.
Your excuse being? My excuse being I want the ring I want, not the ring Roxanne wants me to have.
You're gonna tell him we saw him after making us all look like idiots at the promenade? I didn't make you look like anything.
- Hello? - Hi.
I've been trying to reach you all afternoon.
How was school today? School was fine.
I just got home.
From school? A lot of time in the library? Uh, no, I took Ruthie shopping for a gift, but we couldn't find anything.
- You have a lot of work to do tonight? - I have a little reading.
And, uh, some research that I have to do.
Are you too busy to come down to the promenade, have some pizza with Roxanne and me? We got stuck working the promenade and we could probably grab a slice of pizza with you.
I better not.
Mom made dinner and I have to help her clean up.
I just wish you could come down to the promenade.
- I can't.
Sorry.
- Okay.
- Could you put Robbie on the phone? - Why? - Roxanne wants to talk to him.
- Why? Because Robbie called her so she wants to call him back and ask him if he wants to come down for pizza.
Yeah, I'll get him.
She's getting him.
- Why do you torture her? - I'm not torturing her.
I thought we were friends, then Roxanne's on the phone.
She wants to speak with Robbie.
Do you see him in here? You don't have to be such a smarty pants.
Try his room.
I don't want those two together.
Doesn't work for me.
Well, I've got a similar problem.
I don't like that guy Mark.
Why not? He seems nice enough to me.
I don't think Cecilia should go out with a French guy.
French guys are just too French.
I'm trying to find him.
She's still talking to Simon.
I thought you and Cecilia were just friends.
- I don't know what happened.
- Mark happened.
You guys need help cleaning up the boys before dinner? We're clean.
Oh, I was looking for you.
It's Roxanne.
Roxanne? Hi, is this Robbie? Hey, Robbie.
What's up? I haven't heard from you in a couple of weeks.
I'd love to go out with you some time and go to a movie or dinner or something if you're up for it.
I'd love to.
Maybe when I get off work around 8? Uh, great.
I'll come over to the house.
Kevin will give me a ride.
I'll see you then.
With all the women in the world, why do you go out with someone you know annoys me? I don't know why she annoys you.
Because she's helping Kevin pick out my ring.
- What ring? - My engagement ring.
I didn't know you were engaged.
I will be when Kevin asks me and I get the ring.
Roxanne is picking out the ring? I saw her with Kevin picking out a ring at the jewellery store at the promenade.
- Are you sure? - Yes, I'm sure.
Then get into it with Kevin, because I wanna go out with Roxanne.
This is Cecilia.
I'm unable to take your call right now because my new French boyfriend and I are busy.
Au revoir.
Leave a message.
- Do you like Cecilia? - Yes.
- We like her.
- She's nice.
Yeah, she is nice.
You know, maybe she's just playing some kind of game with me.
That's how we got together in the first place.
She asked me to make her old boyfriend jealous.
And now she's just getting this guy to make me jealous.
And he's probably not even French.
Okay, so even if he is She purposely got a French guy to go out with her so I would get jealous.
And Well, let's just go with that for right now.
- Isn't that Simon's girlfriend? - Friend.
- Good.
- Why is that good? Because I just saw the way she was looking at him, and she looks like she's in love.
How can you tell? Because she looks at him the way Lucy looks at you.
And how does Lucy look at me? Don't act like you don't know, Kinkirk.
You look at her the same way.
Like the two of you are in some Gidget movie.
- You think so? - Yeah, I think so.
- Oh, thanks, but I got it already.
Sorry.
Well, you can get the glasses out and put some ice in them.
I probably know the answer to this already, but I wanna get my friend Jake something for his birthday and I don't know what to get him.
I don't wanna make him something or give something I've made.
- How much money do you have? - Not much.
You could call his Mom and see if she needs a cake for the party, then maybe you could bake him a birthday cake and decorate it with something that he really likes.
Wow, that's a great idea.
So will you do it? Oh, you can do it.
I'll help you.
- Well, I can't make a birthday cake.
- Oh, it's easy.
I'll get you a cake mix and then I'll supervise.
Well, couldn't you just make it for me? I could but, one, I'm really busy right now and two, if I make it it's, heh, my gift, not yours.
Why can't you just get that old woman to help you with the laundry and stuff and then you could make the cake and I can watch and, you know, I can just put some decorations on it? I don't want that old woman's help.
I mean, Gabrielle's help.
So your father's outside explaining that to her right now.
Uh, I don't wanna help you do something that you can do yourself if you were just willing to do the work involved.
Okay, okay, I'll buy him something.
Hey.
Hi, Eric, sorry to just drop by.
The phone was busy as usual.
I I'm Eric, or Reverend Camden when my heart permits.
Chandler Hampton.
My dad sent her to help out Annie, without asking.
Oh, well, ha, ha, actually, that's That's a bit of a coincidence in a way.
What's the coincidence? Well, we didn't ask, because we knew that you needed someone to help you and you'd never dream of asking the church to pay for anyone to help you.
The church is paying for Gabrielle? Uh, no.
No, the church is, ahem The church is The church is paying for an associate pastor to help you out around the church.
Mom? Dad? Are you waiting to see my dad? I'll get him for you as soon as I find him.
I think he's in the basement with your mother.
The basement? Who let you in? Your dad let me in then he went down to the basement to talk to your mom.
And Lou.
Lou's down there too.
- Why? - I guess they wanted some privacy.
- Who are you? - Uh, oh, I'm so sorry.
I'm so nervous I forgot my manners.
I'm I'm Chandler Hampton.
- All right.
What do you do? - I'm the associate pastor.
- What's that? - It's kind of like a minister in training.
I do Well, I'm learning to do the things that your father does.
Your dad probably started out as an associate pastor.
- What church? - Your church.
- Who hired you? - Lou, and the other deacons.
Excuse me.
I'll be right back.
Robbie, Simon, Lucy.
Robbie, Simon.
- What? - What's going on? Where's Lucy? Because this is good.
There's a man in the living room who says Lou hired him as our church's associate pastor.
And Dad's got Mom and Lou down in the basement yelling at them.
- Your heart.
Please, your heart.
- You told him I needed help? - We could all see you needed help.
- Shut up, Lou.
I've felt out-of-control enough for the past month without my own church going out and getting a new pastor, because my own wife insisted it was a good idea.
- The doctor said not to get excited.
- We had to do something.
We can't just have somebody filling in every week.
So you got someone to replace me? He's not replacing you.
He's not.
- Did you know about this? - No, I didn't know about it.
But I don't think was the best way to find out about it.
In his enthusiasm, Chandler showed up a day earlier than we expected, and this is a small town, you know, and I I didn't want you finding out from someone other than me.
So I I'm sorry.
I tried to call, and when I couldn't get through, I came over and Shut up, Lou.
Eric, please.
Let's Let's go upstairs.
Let's have some dinner.
Let's talk to Chandler.
You think I'm gonna have dinner with that man? Or this man? I don't know why you're getting upset.
- Lou's only trying to - Shut up, Annie.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm so I'm so sorry.
Ahh.
It's okay.
You've been under a lot of stress.
- Is that clown still in the living room? - I have no idea.
- Didn't you just have heart surgery? - Yes, I did.
It's a good thing, otherwise right now I'd probably be dead.
- Here, taste it.
- No, thanks.
Taste it.
It's the best spaghetti sauce I've ever had in my entire life.
I have a secret ingredient.
Heh, yeah, I better wait for the others.
It's late.
They're probably hungry.
Eat.
You can eat again with the rest of them.
Would you like a glass of wine with that? I doubt there's any wine in the house.
I'm starving.
I have to eat.
If Sam and David can take it, so can you.
Your mother fed the boys earlier.
I know that.
I'm just trying to get Simon to buck up.
Uh, is Reverend Camden up here? - All right.
- Wait.
I'm Ruthie.
And this is Simon and this is Robbie, not related.
Chandler Hampton.
Hi.
Nice to meet you.
- So you're replacing my dad? - Uh, oh, no.
No, no I'm just Just here to learn, fill in where I can and help out.
- For how long? - For as long as they let me.
You know your dad, the deacons, the church members.
- So are you single? - Yes, I am.
- How old are you? - I'm 23.
I went to Cobell in New York.
I graduated with honours and a doctorate.
- Oh, so you're Dr.
Hampton? - I, uh, prefer Chandler.
My sister Lucy went to Cobell, for a summer anyway.
Oh.
- Hey, where is Lucy? - I think she's in Kevin's apartment.
Good to see you.
- Good to see you.
I don't believe we've met.
- Uh, hmm.
- Heh.
Hi, honey, I'm home.
I hope you don't mind.
I was looking for a quiet place to study.
And you knew Roxanne was getting a ride over here and you thought she'd come up here with me first.
But I love it that you don't want anyone else with me.
What's up? My mom and dad are fighting because the Colonel sent this old lady named Gabrielle over to help my mom, and she's really crazy, and my mom doesn't like her in the house.
Your mom could probably use the help.
Well, sometimes people just like to do things themselves.
Yeah, some people.
Unfortunately, I can't do anything by myself.
I don't know what I'd do without you.
- And your mom and Roxanne and - What do you need Roxanne for? - To save my life.
- What do you mean, save your life? - I'm a cop, she's my partner.
- Right.
So she's supposed to literally save your life.
What else does she do for you? She's there for me on the job the same way you're there for me in life.
But you don't involve her in your life, do you? It's hard not to.
We're together all day.
What aspects of your life do you involve her in? I'm sorry, I can't do this.
I saw you watching us at the jewellery store today and I know what you're thinking.
No, you don't.
You don't know what I'm thinking.
And that's not very nice.
Spying on me? - I was spying on you? - Weren't you? Let's say we were spying on each other.
Let's not.
Were you thinking I'd ask Roxanne for help picking out your ring? If I did that that wouldn't be very nice, but I didn't do that and I wouldn't.
I promise.
- I'll be over as soon as I change.
- Don't bother.
I love that woman.
- This is delicious.
- Hmm, traitors.
- Are you hungry? - I think I'll have mine upstairs.
You pick it up.
I got a broken arm.
- Thanks.
No problem.
You don't happen to know how to bake a cake, do you? I'm not baking a cake for your stinking boyfriend.
You are too young to have a boyfriend.
You don't happen to know anything about French men, do you? You like French men? Not me, it's, heh, actually a friend of mine.
Cecilia.
- Is she French? - No.
And she's not just his friend either.
I wonder if she's ever had her nose licked with a big, old nasty tongue.
I used to think like that.
It It probably won't last.
It's not that I don't appreciate that you and the Colonel wanna help, it's just that, well, I don't want that kind of help.
What are you talking about, Annie? I'm talking about the woman you sent to help.
- The woman? - Gabrielle.
Gabrielle? Is she still alive? She's old, but she's very much alive.
I don't know where the Colonel found her.
Well, wherever it was, no offence, I hope she goes back there and soon.
Does she still smoke? Yes, and I think I also smelled alcohol on her breath.
Wine.
She loves wine.
Fine wine.
Annie, darling, she's not there for you, she's there for Eric.
I'm sure that's why the Colonel sent her.
And believe me, she has no intention of staying.
She'll work her magic and she'll be out of there in 24 hours.
You know, I've been thinking about going back to church.
I don't know why I bother.
I am such a loser.
Heh.
What are you talking about? I'm talking about how I can't get a woman to fall in love with me.
Give a woman time to fall in love with you, okay? If it's not there from the first moment, it's not there.
I made out with you practically the second I saw you.
Because I've been thinking about making out with you since seventh grade.
No, you said, "In the seventh grade, I used to think about making out with you.
" - Big difference.
- What's the big difference? Well, the first way, you've been thinking about me for a very long time.
The second way, you just thought about me in seventh grade.
I saw the way you looked at that minister.
I know why you're thinking about going back to church.
- I didn't look at him.
- Heh.
Yes, you did.
So, what kind of ring do you want? Who said I wanted a ring? Maybe I don't even want a ring.
But I don't want a pearl that was on a finger of some dead woman.
Diamond? Square cut? Round cut? What? It should be your decision.
Yours and yours alone.
You dropped this in the garage.
- So? - Ha, ha.
- So? Is this the one you want? - I don't know.
Let me see.
No.
Maybe.
Can you afford this? Simon, there's someone outside who wants to see you.
- Thanks for dinner.
- Thank you.
Don't let the uniform fool you.
I'll put everything in the dishwasher.
All right.
You got me.
What kind of a cake do you want? - So I thought maybe you'd call.
- And I thought you'd be out with Mark.
What do you think? - I guess he's okay.
- Just okay? I don't know.
I really didn't get a chance to talk to him that much.
It's hard to tell.
- What'd you think of him? - I think I like him.
I really like him.
I just don't wanna get too crazy, because I know guys don't like that.
- Some guys.
- So maybe you could get a date - and we can all go out together? - Sure.
- Really? - If I can get a date If you can't, I'll find you one.
Good night.
I'll see you at school tomorrow.
Thanks for dinner.
I better be going.
Will you need a ride to church on Sunday? Very funny.
We usually sit up front on the left.
We'll look for you.
Good night.
I'll call you.
Good night, Roxanne.
Good night, Kevin.
Good night, Luce.
Did he just invite her to church? Yeah, I think she's got a crush on that new guy.
What new guy? The new minister at your dad's church.
What are you talking about? I heard there's this new young guy who moved here to help your dad.
Roxanne met him.
How can you know this and me not know this? And how does Roxanne get to meet him and I don't? Did everyone else meet him too? I don't know.
But where are you when stuff happens? I don't know.
I'm cursed I tell you.
Cursed.
I'm left out.
I'm never included.
I'm always somewhere else when everything happens.
It's like I live in some black hole in the universe.
Well, I hope you're around when I decide to ask you to marry me.
Let me know when and where, huh? I apologise for saying shut up to you and for getting so upset.
No, I accept your apology.
You're not upset about this new associate pastor? I was, but not now.
Because you realise you need the help? No, I don't need the help.
But I needed the challenge.
I love a challenge.
- I'll show them.
I'll show them all.
- What? I've taken my anger and turned it into something better.
- Revenge? - No, I wouldn't call it revenge.
I'd call it, uh, not being afraid.
- And you know why I'm not afraid? - No.
Because I I realised something.
I realised Jesus loves me, this I know For the Bible tells me so Little ones to him belong They are weak, but he is strong Yes, Jesus loves me This isn't good.
This isn't good at all.
It's It sounds good, but it's not.
The Bible tells us so Jesus loves me, this I know For the Bible tells me so
