You wouldn't.

Nice catch.

It's not my fault.

How was I supposed to know

you'd jump in the lake?

I tell you, I'm completely innocent.

You innocent? Look at this.

My whole life was in this thing.

See, that's the thing. Don't you find

that the teeniest bit twisted?

- May I help you, sir?

- Yes. Can this be fixed?

Don't suppose

you have flood insurance?

No, of course not.

Tell you what, let me just...

I'll go talk to my manager and

see if your warranty covers...

- Women.

- Pardon me?

Actually, only one. See if my warranty

covers Charlene Riley.

A woman, sir?

Charlene Riley, R-I-L-E-Y.

Sam. Sammy, this is Mommy,

do you hear me?

There she is now.

Sammy, this is Mommy.

The nice men in the store

let me talk to you on their big radio.

Sir, you're mother did this to you?

No, actually it was my Dad.

It all started with my Dad.

Sammy, if you can hear me,

listen carefully.

Mommy's sorry, Sammy.

I'll buy you a new toy,

just don't be angry anymore.

Remember when Mommy bought you

a big bag of popcorn last week?

Go to the popcorn machine.

Mommy has a bag of popcorn for you.

And Sammy,

Mommy loves you, dear.

Oh, poor little guy.

You have no idea.

Hi, Sammy.

What?

I said I was sorry.

Remember where we are.

Then you admit it wasn't my fault.

- Sir, your Palm.

- Keep it.

Is it always like this?

No. This is just a good day.

It's a very good day.

Hi, Charly and Mark. We're not in now,

but you can leave a message...

...unless it's important in which case

we prefer you keep it to yourself.

Your choice after the beep.

Mark, Charly. We need to talk.

Please call.

It's the third visit this week.

She's stopped drinking coffee

with me in the mornings.

I set up a private lesson

with the tennis pro last Sunday...

...and she found a reason not to go.

Come to find out later

she'd been to church, with him.

Maybe we should call Mark.

She doesn't seem too interested

in Mark at the moment.

- Does he know that?

- We can't let our imaginations run wild.

Soon she'll be back in New York

and forget all this nonsense.

- But Mark could make her forget now.

- Mark is an idiot.

But he's handsome, fun.

We should call him.

It wouldn't hurt to mention

she's asking about him in a casual way.

I am not going to encourage my only

daughter to marry some worthless...

Goodbye, Sister Riley.

See you in church on Sunday.

I'll need his number.

Mark, are you there? This is Edward.

About Charly, something's changed.

What do you think?

You haven't said much about the

Church since I tried to pray with you.

- Which church?

- Come on, you know.

Well I decided to be fair. We

Easterners are noted for our fairness.
