You know, Andie, I'm just...

They just don't write love songs

like they used to. I...

I'm angry about this now. My evening's

shot. Just drive me home, now.

The reason I came over, other than I'd

been planning to come and say hello,

- I wanted to talk to you about Andie.

- Yeah?

She's an incredible individual.

You know that.

I mean, I'm there for her.

Whenever, however, I'm there.

You can rest assured

that she's covered.

I don't want you to worry,

because my only plans

are to make sure

that she's taken care of.

That's nice of you, Phil.

And I'd like to marry her.

Well, not today. But eventually, I figure.

Well, does Andie know

how you feel about this?

No confirmation on that just yet.

I'm layin' the groundwork.

I'm thinkin' in terms of

housing, food, basic needs.

But I'm picking my moment.

- I mean, you understand, right?

- Sure.

I felt the same way about

somebody myself.

A girl?

A girl.

I loved her and I married her.

And one day she just split.

Wait, this was Andie's mom?

Yeah.

So I haven't seen her in three years,

you know, and...

But I still love her

just as much as I ever did, you know?

You can love Andie, but that doesn't

mean she'll love you back.

It doesn't mean she won't, but...

What I'm trying to say is

you can't make it happen.

It either will or it won't.

- It's all in the heart.

- Yeah, sure. Cardiovascular.

Yeah. I understand.

I've been to school.

Well, I got an appointment with

a vacuum cleaner. Gotta go.

You're on a whole

home-improvement jag.

- Yeah. Turning the old life around.

- More power to ya.

If Tina Turner can do it,

Jack Walsh can do it too.

Thanks for taking your time.

I really... I appreciate it.

- My pleasure.

- I'm off like a dirty shirt.

Tina Turner.

Hiya.

We just got these glasses in.

They're really...

I didn't like that album

I got the other day.

What?

- The record.

- The record.

I thought it was a little too...

Too hip, maybe.

- Yeah, a little too hip.

- Well...

Think you can recommend something

else? A little less political?

- Lionel Richie?

- Nah.

Well...

- Teena Marie? Madonna?

- Madonna? That's awfully deep.

Yeah, very deep.

But she's got such great style.

Listen...

That's the alarm. Can you

hold on a second? I'll be right back.

Here. Read this. It's really good.

What is this?

Hi! How was your day?

Bet it pumps out about

- Did you do this?

- I'm not sure.

I was just using your powder room

and I decided not to disturb you,

so I was gonna go out the back door,

but I must have touched somethin'.

- How'd you get in here?

- Are you mad?

Yes, I'm mad! There are

public bathrooms everywhere!

I'm not nine, Andie. I know that.
