All right, Anna,

comedy or tragedy?

Comedy!

Laughter is always

preferable to tears...

Unless it is

tears from laughter,

which I also enjoy.

If we can hear it

over your new neighbors

and their endless

mariachi celebration.

I know, it's been

non-stop with those people

ever since they moved in.

Music is to be enjoyed.

Not to be audible

from outer space.

That is so loud.

Right?

Oh, but even still,

I love your

weekend visits.

I wish that you didn't

have to go back so soon.

I know,

but my batteries are recharged,

and I've got to go

back to my real life

and get my firm off the ground.

Well, I'm proud of you,

because it's not every day

a lawyer chooses integrity

over a paycheck!

Oh, well,

don't congratulate me yet.

I may have to go crawling back

to a big firm

if I can't get

my own off the ground.

Stop it.

You are smart

and capable

and determined.

And I take

full credit for that

because that's the way

I raised you!

What?

That's it,

this is ridiculous.

What?

Let's go!

I have to

meet them sometime!

Okay!

Just be careful.

We don't want some

hatfields and mccoys feud

with the new neighbors.

Well, I hope not,

because the hatfields

killed the mccoys.

It wasn't over

mariachi music,

so I think we're safe.

But, just in case,

I'm your backup.

You're always

looking out for me.

Ah, my, my.

Yes, yes.

Wait, you're

our new neighbor?

You're Sean castleberry!

That's what it says

on my driver's license,

it must be true.

Don't believe

the date of birth part.

I'm really

much younger than that.

Could you turn

that down, please?

Wireless speakers.

So, you heard I was in town

making a movie,

and you've come by

for a selfie, right?

Not exactly.

No?

We're here to remind you

that you have neighbors.

There are other people

in the world.

Ah.

Got it, yes.

My music.

Please accept my apologies.

Hey!

Is that darn music

still too loud?

Actually, it was

even louder than before.

Well, I've never been

into salsa music,

but I'm playing

a dance instructor

in this new movie,

and I'm just getting it

all in my head now.

I love it.

How do you like

my moves?

Spectacular.

Best I've ever seen.

Now, would you mind

keeping it to a dull roar?

I know, you're upset

because I haven't

come next door

to introduce myself.

It's just that I'm in Seattle

for a very short time.

Much as we'll all

miss you when you're gone,

might I suggest

you invest

in a pair of headphones?

Have a nice night...

Nice neighbors!

Nice ladies...

Unbelievable!

Who does he think he is?

Okay, aunt belle,

this is my third message

in the past two days.

Where are you?

I'm walking into

my new office now,

so call me there, okay?

I left the new number

on my last few voicemails.

I'll talk to you soon.

Okay, bye.

Where is she?

Look, Mrs. o'healey...

Gloria.

I understand,

this is

a very difficult time for you,

but I've handled

many sensitive divorces,

and I'm going to make this

as painless as possible.

I'm here for you 24/7, okay?

I will call you as soon as

I speak to his lawyer.

All right, you too.

Okay, bye-bye.

Is Gloria

signing with us?

She is.

Poor thing,

this is really rough on her.

I'm going to have to do

a little hand-holding here.

She could've chosen any firm

and she chose you.

It's a testament

to your reputation.

It's a start.

It's a great start.

Wealthy doctor's

soon-to-be ex?

She'll keep us afloat

for a while.

That's not why we do this, em.

Can you get me the file

for the Avery divorce?

You know, Anna,

it's after 6:
00, so...

We should go home,

because that's what

normal people do.

They work

and they leave said work.

It's after 6:
00 already?

I'm calling

my aunt again.

Your aunt is allowed

to have a life,

unlike the rest of us.

I know that.

But she's usually so quick

to return my calls,

I'm starting to worry.

What if something

happened?

Nothing has happened.

I can't find

the Avery file.

Who packed these boxes?

You did.

When I was home

last month.

Well, I am so fired,

I should probably leave.

Ah, finally!

I was so worried.

I am so sorry.

I was actually out of town

and I forgot to bring

my phone with me.

I didn't even get

your messages until right now.

It's okay, you're forgiven.

I'm just so glad

you're all right.

Did you go camping?

No, I was at

an incredible spa resort.

With a friend.

Really?

With a man friend, perhaps?

Yes, he is all that.

Aunt belle!

This is great news.

It's been two years

since you and Walter broke up,

i didn't know

you were dating again.

Well, it's actually

a bit more than dating.

Wait...

I'm engaged!

What? To who?

To whom?

Are you really

correcting my grammar

at a time like this?

Anna, there is never

a good time

for improper grammar.

Okay, well then,

to whom

are you getting married?

Sean castleberry.

That's great, I just,

I really hope it's not

on the same day

as my wedding to Bradley Cooper.

I'm not joking, honey.

Wait, seriously?

A month ago, you hated him,

and now you're marrying

this guy?

And he's been married

so many times.

I mean, does he get

a set of steak knives

on the 10th wife?

Well, I could certainly use

a new set of steak knives,

but I'm not sure

it works that way.

Hello, Anna.

Hi, Mr. castleberry.

You're there.

That... that's really great.

Please. Sean.

And it's not

10 marriages, Anna,

it's only three.

Sometimes, in life,

you have to kiss a few frogs.

But that's all

behind me now,

ever since I met this woman

I'm so crazy about.

When did this happen?

Well, we've been

seeing each other

since you left,

and I didn't mention it

because I wanted to make sure

it was real first.

Nothing has

ever been more real.

I said that line

in a soap opera once.

Of course you did.

Uh, um, oh, uh, darling,

there's just

one more thing...

The wedding is going to be

in two weeks.

What? W-why?

Why is the wedding in two weeks?

That's very soon.

Well, I'm shooting a movie.

As soon as I finish,

i can't wait to start

my new life

with your wonderful aunt.

Or is it "ah-nt".

Ah, tomato, tom-ah-to.

This is our first fight,

by the way.

We'll get through it,

i know we will.

Um... honey.

I-I really hope

you can get away.

I want you to be

my maid of honor.

Oh, trust me, I will be there,

and I will see you very soon.

Bye!

Wow.

Keep a close eye

on her blood pressure

and notify me of any changes

in either direction.

Jake called.

Well, that's never a good sign,

hearing from my dad's

assistant, is it?

Nope.

Do you want me

to get him on the line?

Mm-hmm.

Nice to

see you again.

What?

In two weeks,

they say, "I do."

He never learns.

Especially after the last wife

did a number on him

and his bank account.

Well, you want him

to be happy, don't you?

Yeah, of course, Jake,

I'm not a monster,

but why does he have to

marry them

every single time?

A hopeless romantic?

Yeah, well, thanks

for letting me know.

Again?

Yeah, apparently,
