Sure. Sure.
Five minutes in the microwave. Any one of them, five minutes and done. Ready to eat. Do you know how to make juice?
Microwave. Five minutes.
Eventually, in a few months, you'll start seeing women, you'll meet someone.
Move on. Right. That's what I'm going to do. In a few months, boom, I'll be fine, I'll just grow a new heart.
I'm sorry
God, it's wonderful to see you. Where's Greg?
He's over at the boat show. He'll be by later. It's so beautiful here.
You saw her in the airport and then here?
I tried to talk to her... It was like I knew her. Weird.
How's Jonah taking it?
It'll take him a while to come around. A month ago he called one of those radio callin shows and told them I needed a wife
You're kidding
Now that I'm seeing someone, it's a whole other thing.
It's a little derivative.
What do you mean?
"An Affair To Remember." Did you ever see it? Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr. Before that it was called "Love Affair With Irene Dunne And Charles Boyer."
Anyway, Victoria's nice.
Would you follow <U>her</U> through an airport?
Look, I met somebody. She's good, and capable and smart. We hit it off. We can't spend your life chasing after fantasies.
Hi.
Hi. Sam?
Yes?
You must be Jonah.
We live two piers over, don't we? Number 12, right? We're having like a really neat open house today from like four to whenever if you care to stop by.
Thanks, but... we've got plans.
Well, here's the number. If you ever find yourself Sleepless, give us a call. We also... do babysitting.
Hi, Sam. And let me guess you must be Jonah.
Hi. He should book now because we can get an excursion fare. Jessica's parents are travel agents and
Do you like baseball?
Yes, I do. In fact, my firm has box seats for the Mariners. Why don't we all go next week?
What about camping?
What about it?
Do you like it?
I went camping once. I love to brush my teeth in a brook and floss with a weed.
We ought to start camping again, Dad.
Sure. I'd really like that. Thank you so much.
Well...
I think they're announcing your flight.
Dad
What is it?
There's somebody on the phone for you. His name is Sam.
I can hear you walking around sometimes. At first I thought it was a robber. Go ahead, tell her, Dad.
I don't think I have to now.
The hopes are perfect beautiful, identical, smooth and they are for something really amazing I feel it in my bones
It's a spice rack.
We desperately need a spice rack. Desperately.
Dad? About last night?
It's never happening again. Right?
Right.
Not.
My feelings exactly.
How many people do you think heard that thing last night?
It plays in 50 states.
What?!
Nobody else is going to know it was us.
You're right. You better hope so.
Dad, I don't know about this one
Oh, you're changing your mind
No, I'm not, but
What's the matter with this one? Wouldn't you like to have Imelda Marcos as your mother?
Dad
Does red pepper go under R or P?
P. Dad?
What?
I forgot to mention. Jed called
Just out of curiosity, do you have any friends whose names don't begin with a J? I feel like it was a failure of the imagination on our part naming you Jonah. What is marjoram? Does anyone know?
Jed is having a slumber party New Year's Eve and he invited me.
Fine. Fine.
So I can go.
Sure. Looking good.
Shouldn't you have used a toggle bolt?
I think I know how to have a spice rack.
I'm sorry. I'm just
Stressed.
Right. I'm sorry, Jonah, I'm sorry.
Just out of curiosity, how did they get our address?
They called and asked for it. "Dear Sleepless in Seattle. You are the most attractive man I've ever laid ears on."
How did they get our phone number?
You have to give them your phone number or they won't let you go on the air.
"Dear Sleepless in Seattle: I am an SWF" What is that?
Thank God. Something you don't know. It's a single white female.
This is no good. She's looking for someone French. Or Greek. "Dear Sleepless in Seattle: I live in Tulsa." Where is that?
Oklahoma. Do you know where that is?
Somewhere in the middle.
I'm not going to think about what they're not teaching you in school. I am not going to think about it. Generally speaking I think we should rule out people who don't live somewhere near here
She's willing to fly anywhere.
She looks like my third grade teacher. I hated my third grade teacher. Hold it! Wait a minute! She <u>is</u> my third grade teacher!
Dad, you're not taking this seriously.
This is not how you do it. You want this on an English muffin or a bun?
English muffin. How do you do it?
You see someone you like, you get a feeling about them, you ask them if they want to have a drink or
a slice of pizza
But not dinner necessarily on the first date because by the time you're halfway through dinner you might be sorry you asked them to dinner whereas if it's just a drink, if you like them you can always ask them for dinner but if you don't you can go home if you see what I mean. I wonder if it still works this way.
It doesn't. They ask you.
I'm starting to notice that.
If you get a new wife, I guess you'll have sex with her, huh?
What do you think?
Will she scratch up your back?
What?
