And so do I.

You want me to put this

over here?

Okay.

All right.

Good night.

( whispering ):

Good night, Alex.

Emily? Emily!

Em?

Emily?

Oh, there you are.

Come on, sweetheart.

We're going into town.

We have some errands to do.

Oh...

Hello.

Hi... Hi, there.

I-I'm Laura.

I live next door.

Oh, I'm David.

How are you?

Uh, here.

These are for you.

Oh, thank you very much.

My husband and I made

the preserves ourselves.

Oh, well...

I didn't even realize

anyone else lived up here.

Well, it does get pretty quiet

in the off season.

Oh, this is my

daughter, Emily.

Emily, say hello to Laura.

She's our neighbor.

Isn't she adorable?

You going to say hi?

Well, she gets a little shy

around new faces.

I understand.

It's going to be a real treat

having both of you here.

Oh, you're on your way out.

I won't keep you.

Um, if you need anything,

don't hesitate to stop by.

Same here.

And thank you

for all the preserves.

The peach and apricot preserves.

- Enjoy.

- Thank you.

I'm gonna put this inside.

( wheels clacking )

( whistle blows )

WOMAN:

Amy, don't swing so high.

I'm going

to tell your mom.

Would you listen to me?

( geese squawking )

( swing squeaking )

Hi.

Hi.

I have, uh,

a daughter the same age.

She's in the car.

Oh.

I'm Elizabeth.

Elizabeth Young.

Hi.

David Callaway.

- How are you?

- Good.

Nice to meet you.

Are you visiting?

Just moved up

from the city.

Oh, usually it's

the other way around.

I know.

She your kid?

Oh, no. No.

She's my sister's kid.

I'm the honorary baby-sitter.

Watch.

Amy, be careful.

Amy...

( shrieks )

Oh...

- Amy.

- She all right?

Amy,Jesus,

are you all right?

( laughing )

That's very funny.

Oh, my God, you're

going to make me nuts,

you know that?

Is your daughter

this crazy?

Where's Alex?

I don't like her anymore.

Did I just hear

what I think I heard?

Are you mad, Daddy?

No, I'm not mad at all, honey.

I think it's great.

You do?

Yeah.

Good.

Because I have a new friend.

A new friend? Okay.

Let me guess.

Is it, um...

Veronica?

No.

Uh, is it, uh, Patty?

Is it...

He's not a doll.

He's...

Not a doll.

He.

Okay, well,

if he's not a doll,

then who is he?

He doesn't want me

to talk about him.

Doesn't want you

to talk about him?

( whispers ):

No.

Well, what if I promise

to keep it a secret,

could you tell me then?

So, what's his name?

He told me to call him Charlie.

Charlie? Oh, that's

an interesting name.
