- This?

Well,

your mama sounds like a smart person, too.

- Thanks.

- Yeah.

Could be good advice.

Could be good advice

if I followed it.

Hey, he's a s...

you know?

- The hugging.

- He's a hugger.

What's that about?

It's just his way

of being friendly.

Yeah.

I'm Calvin.

Amy.

It's nice to meet you, Amy.

Nice to meet you.

Would you like to have somebody

to help you shop more?

Please help me shop.

And I found the beauty

that I couldn't see

And it's everything I want

And so much more

You

It was always you.

Yeah!

Thanks, man.

That was beautiful.

Thank you.

It still needs a lot of work,

but I appreciate it.

Look... there's no one

here, Frank.

I could really use an extra

hand cleaning up in the back.

Laura, I'm not the janitor.

I know, but...

Hey, buddy,

it was a beautiful song.

It got me.

They're lucky to have

you here, Frankie.

What's this?

She forget her broomstick?

She left that for me.

Got work to do.

I'll see you later, man.

You didn't leave me any coffee.

You know how to work

the coffeemaker, Katie.

No, you drank it all, Dad.

There's none in the bag.

That's what I'm saying.

Well, I will...

I will run to the store

and get some more when I'm

finished with my paper.

Hey, Dad?

How about we go see a

movie or something later?

I'd love to, Katie,

but I think I have to meet

Milt and Frank later.

Sorry, kiddo.

Hi, Mr. Campbell.

How you doing this afternoon?

I'm fine.

How are you?

I'm doing good.

Even when I'm doing bad,

I'm doing good.

Sounds pretty deep.

Have a magnificent day.

You know what?

Um...

I wasn't being honest

with you, Produce.

I'm not fine.

Well, are you sick?

- I don't think so.

- Maybe you just need to smile.

"A cheerful heart

is good medicine."

Where'd you get that?

A bumper sticker?

You told me that I was smart.

- Remember?

- Yeah.

You wanna see how smart I am?

Well, I'll tell you what.

Maybe not today,

because I gotta...

I gotta...

- Pick up that melon.

- All right.

They label all of these

fruits and vegetables

with some numbers on them.

But I know the number on

the top of that melon.

- Okay, go.

- 4329.

Yeah, 4329.

That's correct.

That's impressive, Produce.

Good job.

Pear. Anjou.

Yep. Correct.

Banana.

That's the easy one.

Everybody likes bananas.

Gala apple. 4135.

Orange. 9669.

Tangerine. 3144.

Granny Smith apple.

Yeah.

There we go.

I'm really impressed.

I mean, you're kinda like

"Rain Man" or something.

Like Superman or Batman!

You're proud of me

'cause I'm smart.

- I'm sorry, Mr. Campbell.

- No, that's all right.

He didn't realize

he was bugging you.

What did I tell you

about hugging the customers?
