Charly Page #4

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.

Do you want to say the prayer?

C'mon. Kneel down.

If these bushes suddenly burst into

flames and Charlton Heston appears...

...you're in big trouble!

Do you mind?

We're about to talk to God here.

Okay, close your eyes and I'll say it.

Sam, you're definitely crazy.

So, what do you think?

Technically, fine...

But?

But why the fruit salad?

What's so compelling

about a bunch of fruit?

My style is just different from yours.

It's not a matter of style.

So we see the world differently.

We may be looking for different things.

The point is, until you feel

something here you can't reveal it here.

You're right. It's your exhibit, anyway.

I'm just not ready.

Nonsense.

You're a marvelous painter...

...and I would love to have some of

your work included in the exhibit.

This is an exercise.

If you want to be an artist, take a risk.

Find something

you don't own completely...

...something you feel so deeply

you're sure you can't possibly paint it.

Paint that.

He was a cute little boy, wasn't he.

He's kind of cute now.

He'll do.

He's a good guy. I didn't know

if you'd be back after last time.

You saw?

No, Sam told me. You know,

sometimes he can be a little intense.

Really?

Yes. He once told me he didn't

think it proper for a woman my age...

...to be singing and dancing

in the kitchen.

He was five.

For all his stubborn persistence,

he has a good heart.

He wouldn't push so hard

if he didn't care.

This is all very important to him, isn't it.

Yes. In a way, it's who he is.

Jo, are you telling tales on our son?

Only the most embarrassing ones.

Good, I'll join in.

We were talking about Sam's manner

the last time Charly was here.

Yes. Praying in the backyard.

Classic Roberts family dating technique.

Smooth. Subtle.

It worked for you.

Behave kids.

We've always been somewhat

of an embarrassment to him.

So what have you been talking about?

- That should do it. Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Hello.

- Hi.

- Who's that?

- You're going to love this.

Turn me on.

Yes, I'd know those legs anywhere.

Hi.

Alright, Mark, what are you up to?

I just wanted to see

your beautiful face...

...and get your professional opinion.

These are samples from our new line.

I'm leaving next week on a sales trip

to push them. What do you think?

Mark, why do they have

our names on the front?

What a coincidence.

Which do you like better?

Why do you want to get married, Mark?

Honestly?

I move from two drawers into a closet,

I get my name on the mailbox...

...and I get controlling share

of the remote control.

Darling, come on I'm teasing you here.

You know how I feel about you.

How long do you plan

on feeling that way?

Well, according to this one...
