Charly Page #2

Synopsis: Sam Roberts thinks he has all the answers: the purpose of life, the meaning of love, the plan for a perfect future. Until Charly walks into his life. As different as Salt Lake City and New York City, Sam and Charly are thrown together by circumstance and repelled by differences. He's scheduled and idealistic. She's spontaneous and cynical. He's guarded and practical. She's open and mischevious. He's a Mormon. She isn't. Differences spark interest, though, as Charly finds depth in Sam's idealism and Sam seeks the vibrance of Charly's joie de vivre. But all is not smooth in the Rockies, as their relationship accelerates - cultural differences, family issues, former loves and life-altering challenges threaten to shake things up.

You voted for him?

Yeah, what's wrong with that?

Nothing if you like a soil grubbing,

global warming corporate puppet.

It's nice to know America is safe

in the hands of voters like you.

- Describe her to me.

- Careful. Who?

The future Mrs. Utah. What's she like?

No, let me guess.

A little on the stout side, but pleasant,

always pleasant.

Perpetually aproned, but never ruffled.

June Cleaver with a dayplanner.

You have no idea

what you're talking about.

Come on, Utah. You can't tell me

sitting there in your starched shirt...

...that you don't dream of marrying

an ultra-organized gorgeous woman...

...who just happens to love to cook

and sew and cater to your every whim.

I don't know what I want yet.

I certainly haven't found her...

...when I do...

...we'll both know it and we won't

run around being practically engaged.

We'll get married

and we'll stay married...

...because you don't toss love around

between the lost and found.

You really mean like,

till death do you part?

No, more like forever.

Why Utah, you're a romantic.

Who would have guessed it?

A man who actually believes in

happily ever after.

I hope you find it.

This one is your fault.

Most everything is.

Whose idea was it

to have him pick her up?

Now Claire...

I could have picked her up.

You could have picked her up.

I don't think she'd have enjoyed that

nearly as much.

You'd prefer she date the same riff raff

she's brought home since junior high?

Captain Non-Commitment.

Mark?

Well, he'd be a whole lot better

than some hypertensive boy scout.

Oh, I don't know.

I think he's kind of cute.

Why didn't you tell me

he was so handsome, Eddie.

I imagined someone more humble.

You three behave.

Sam, I want you to meet my family.

- This is my father and mother.

- Mr. And Mrs. Riley.

No need to be so formal.

Call them Eddie and Claire.

They love that kind of thing.

And this is my grandmother.

You can call me anything you want.

I had so much fun the other night

Sam's showing me more of the city.

He's lived here his whole life.

Tell them that fascinating thing

you said on our drive from the airport.

Did you know there's a difference in

humidity between here and New York?

- Really?

- Fascinating.

A difference in humidity?

Right. That's why we feel

so uncomfortable now.

I don't feel uncomfortable.

That's because we're inside.

Just wait and you'll feel uncomfortable.

- You mean, when I'm alone with you?

- That's not what I meant.

What exactly do you mean?

We have to go.

He can be so shy sometimes.

Don't wait up.

So, now I can say

I have seen the Mormon Vatican.

Temple Square?

You almost got us kicked out.

There wasn't a sign.
