Birth
Okay... let me say this.
Let me say this.
If I lost my wife and, uh,
the next day, a little bird
landed on my windowsill,
looked me right in the eye,
"Sean, it's me, Anna. I'm back,"...
What could I say?
I guess I'd believe her. Or I'd want to.
I'd be stuck with a bird.
But other than that, no.
I'm a man of science.
I just don't believe that mumbo-jumbo.
Now, that's gonna have
to be the last question.
I need to go running
before I head home.
Okay.
Oh. Excuse me.
I forgot the ribbon.
Come on.
I don't want to go up alone.
I'll be a minute.
Hi, I--
I met Anna at a party.
And I called her to see if she'd
go out with me, but she said no.
But I kept calling.
It took one year
to get her to have dinner with me.
A year after that,
She said no.
A year later, I asked her again
and she still said no.
Two weeks ago...
she said "Maybe."
with a "Yes."
Hi.
- How are you?
- Good.
I left, uh, the ribbon
in the car.
I'll be up in a minute.
Hi.
- Congratulations.
- Oh, thanks.
Would you like me to wrap it?
Make it look pretty.
Anna.
Clifford.
It's been a long time.
This is a good thing.
Congratulations.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I'm Joseph.
- This is--
- Clifford.
Congratulations.
Nice speech.
Clara's here.
She forgot a ribbon.
- Oh.
- For your present.
So I better go and wait for her.
Enjoy the festivities.
I will. We will.
Thank you.
I liked what you said.
Sean!
Sean!
One minute!
I'm coming!
Let's eat this thing.
Bob, would you carve?
Sure.
Are the Drummonds here?
Where are the Drummonds?
They called. They said
they're gonna be late.
That they'd be here
for the cake.
Fine.
Anna's made a decision.
Oh.
You've picked a date?
- Fantastic.
- Joe, congratulations.
- Thank you, Bob.
I wanted to tell her.
It's my wedding.
Can't I be excited?
May's a great month.
Nice and warm.
- Well done, Joseph.
- Thank you.
Hi.
Are you coming
to Eleanor's party?
No. I want to see Anna.
I used to take lessons
and then I stopped.
I--I wish I hadn't.
We're gonna do the cake.
Sorry we're late.
In the dining room.
Thank you.
Here we are.
Can you get the knife for her?
Look at that.
No, I don't believe it.
Nice work.
Make a wish, Eleanor.
Laura and Anna
on each side of me.
Happy birthday, Mother.
Happy birthday, Mom.
I'm here to see Anna.
Who are you?
Who are you?
Let's go into the kitchen.
I'll tell you there.
Are you gonna play
a trick on me?
No.
Okay.
He wants to talk to me in private.
Could you believe that?
What do you want?
You.
You want me?
Is that what you're saying?
You're my wife.
We're married? You're telling me
that we got married at some point in time?
Yes.
Well... I'm getting married to Joseph.
He's a little bit older than you.
We have a little bit more in common.
But if the timing was
a little bit different, who knows? Maybe.
But I'm getting married to someone else.
It's me...
Sean.
You're telling me
that you're Sean?
Yes.
Let's go.
You'll be making a big mistake
if you marry Joseph.
Jimmy, do you know
who this is?
Sean.
Does he live in the building?
No.
Then put him in a taxi
and send him home.
Sure.
Do you know how
to take the subway?
- Yeah.
- You're not supposed to be here tonight.
Go home.
So?
He says he's Sean.
Sean.
Right.
His name was Sean.
No, really.
Jimmy said downstairs.
He says he doesn't want me
to marry Joseph.
He said I shouldn't marry you.
