- You just thought what, Joe?

That I've forgotten about Rose?

That her memory means nothing to me?

Well, I got news for you. It means everything.

Now, don't break up your little party

on my account. I'll get a cab.

He's a fun guy. A barrel of laughs.

Thanks for the intro.

- I'm sorry, Ruby.

- Yeah, forget it.

Like I said...

we had some laughs.

Ruby, underneath it all

he really is a wonderful guy.

Yeah, yeah.

Thanks for the drink.

Pay attention to the teacher.

Behave yourself.

Michael, stop pushing.

Kelly, why'd you fall from there?

I told you so many times.

Sh, it's not gonna hurt.

Hi. Is it bad?

I don't think so, but I'd like to have someone

look at it. She banged her head pretty hard.

Oh, poor little girl. Now, that's a bad bump.

Let me see if I can take it away.

I got it! Let's throw it away.

Wow. You've got the touch.

The first-aid station's over there. Would you

mind watching the kids for a few minutes?

- OK. You go take care of her.

- Oh, thanks.

Just blow this if they attack.

All right, children. Gather round.

Well, well, well, look what

the cat dragged in.

- Your pals said to tell you they'd be a bit late.

- Fine. I'll wait outside.

Don't be silly. Take the load off your feet.

I don't bite, you know.

- I'll just stand here, by the door.

- OK, suit yourself.

Listen, um...

I'm sorry about last night, OK?

- Forget about it.

- No, I don't think so.

I don't like loose ends.

Maybe we could, um, smooth things out.

Over a cocktail?

That's not necessary.

I accept your apology.

- You're afraid of me, aren't you?

- I certainly am not.

OK. Then there's no problem.

Pick you up at seven.

So finally, after the longest trip

you could ever imagine,

their spaceship landed and

it was time for them to see their new home.

The spaceship's door slowly opened

and there before them was the magic planet...

the most beautiful sight

any of them had ever seen.

The sky was gold, and shining down on them

were three pale, pale pink moons.

So they stepped outside, and guess what?

- What?

- They floated.

That's right!

They could fly like birds.

So they all joined hands and,

with their new friends leading the way,

they flew off to a silver city

shimmering in the distance.

- Can we go there?

- Hold on, now. It's very far.

And, besides, if you left here

think of all the things you'd miss.

- Do they have ice cream?

- No.

- Santa Claus go there?

- I'm afraid it's too far for Santa to make it.

Then how come the people went there?

Well, on that planet no one ever gets sick,

no one ever gets old and no one ever dies.

So if you're in love with someone,

you never have to lose them.

What happens if
