(alarm clock ringing)

(man sighing)

(soft music)

Love can't go wrong

(water splashing)

With a girl like this

Like Cupid's arrow

This love just can't miss

Your love it makes me

Feel like a million dollars

You make feel like

A full bright scholar

Love can't go wrong

With a girl like this

My ship's come in

Love is on the list

Red flags they may wave

Gale winds I may brave

But love can't go wrong

With a girl like this

(soft symphonic music)

Your love it makes me feel

Like a million dollars

You make me feel like I'm Ginger Rogers

Love can't go wrong

With a girl like this

My ship's come in

Love is on the list

Red flags they may wave

Gale winds I may brave

But love can't go wrong

With a girl like this

- Gregory, really you flatter me so.

Let's just see what

Gregory thinks of this.

Oh, I think Gregory is gonna like this.

Yes, I do.

Evelyn,

darling you are divine.

(soft piano music)

(birds chirping)

(soft music)

- I'm sorry to be quitting on

you like this, Mr. Carmichael.

I really should've given you notice,

but life is changing.

- No two week notice, no pay.

You know you kids are something else.

Everybody wants to chase their dreams

while I'm stuck in this place.

- It's not going to be the

same without you here, Lon.

You'll come back to see

a movie or something.

This isn't the last time

I'll see you, right?

- I was hoping to say goodbye to you.

Of course not.

I mean the new Annie move's

coming out soon, right?

- You know it is.

You won't forget me will you?

- I can never forget that.

That face it's quite a nice face

quite the structure.

Here.

- Go get yourself a sweater

'cause your uncle keeps

this place way too cold.

- I'm not taking money from you.

- It's not from me it's from my dad.

Think of it as a gift,

and there will be a lot more soon.

- I don't want you

money or your pity, Lon.

It's fine.

I'm fine.

- Please.

- No.

- Fine then be stubborn.

(uncle laughing)

- Spending your daddy's money.

Is that his wallet too.

- The Schumacher's are

moving up in this world

Mr. Carmichael just you watch.

- Not as long as your daddy's alive.

He was as tightfisted as they come.

Every family has its miser.

- Well, he's pretty

close to death right now,

Mr. Carmichael.

- Oh,

I didn't know.

I thought those were just rumors.

Well, don't I feel like a heel.

Give him my best.

- I gotta get out of here, Sarah.

I'll be back on...

When do we get the new Annie?

- Lonnie, you can't let

my uncle get to you.

That's just who he is.

- Nah, it's fine.

Besides I'll see you later.

- Promise me you will.

I mean I'll miss you.

(soft music)

- Shelby, what are you doing?

- What does it look like I'm doing?

- Well, I mean why aren't you in the shade

or under an umbrella or something?

This looks miserable.

Shelby, this is warm.

- Yeah, I know.

- Actually it's not even warm.

It's hot.

- That's what happens

when you don't have a portable fridge.

- Well, what about a

cooler filled with ice?

- I don't have one of those either.

- So buy one.

- What do you think I'm

selling root beer for.

- For a cooler?

Okay, now I've heard everything.

Here take this.

It's from my dad.

- From your dad?

Now I've heard everything, but I couldn't.

- Take it.

- Since it seems so important to you.

(smooth jazz music)

- (gasping) My goodness, Mr. Frieze.

Gregory, you scared me.

- Forgive me.

But it was you who startled me.

Evelyn, Evelyn, Evelyn,

I dreamt about you last night

in those early morning hours.

I didn't expect you here so soon.

Of course I had hoped.

- (gasping) Oh, last night

Last night, Gregory

did you mean all of those

things that you said to me?

Tell me that you did.

Tell me that I wasn't dreaming.

- Darling.

- I had to come and touch you

and feel you and just prove to myself

that you are real.

That we are real.

That last night meant as much to you

as it did to me.

Oh, it's as if I'm alive.

It's not just because I...

It's not just because we...

No, no it's not that.

Gregory, I want to know

everything about you

if you wear socks to bed

(soft piano music)

on cold winter nights,

if you prefer fiction or nonfiction,

if you are Earl Grey man (laughing).

- Darling.

(soft piano music)

- What's wrong?

- I'm not in the habit of

seducing married women.

- I know.

No of course not.

- I made an exception with you, Evelyn

and not just because of your generosity.

And those golf clubs are a terrific.

No, no, I made the exception

because of your husband

and his condition.

Everything on track with that, right?

- Gregory, you asked me this last night,

and I told you everything

was on track then

and everything is on track now.

His death is imminent.

I'm surprised I haven't

gotten a phone call

with the news by now.

- I'm sorry to badger you truly I am.

You've been such a long suffering woman

a saint really a beautiful

- Wait, wait.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

There's something.

I have something I want to give you.

How about that?

In case you want to surprise me

with flowers.

Tulips are lovely.

Or chocolate.

I prefer dark.

- But your son?

- Lonnie (laughing).

He sleeps like the dead,

and besides it's only until

you and I can make more

permanent arrangements.

(bells chiming)

(soft music)

- Oh, my.

I didn't mean to interrupt.

I am looking for a shawl.

How long till you close?
