[Narrator] Welcome
to tonight's all new
Hallmark Hall of Fame
presentation of The Beach House.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Hi sweetie.
Good morning!
(voicemail):
You have
two unheard messages.
First message.
Cara, I just heard...
you got fired?
Are you kidding me?
Look, I know you're on your way
back home for a visit...
Hi Cara, hi it's Richard.
Look, I really wanted to tell
you in person
but I- I don't want you to hear
it from someone else.
They gave me your accounts
and they're...
What?
They're moving me upstairs.
Perfect.
[cars honking]
[phone ringing]
[cars honking]
Sorry.
Caretta.
Hi, mama.
I can't believe it.
What a wonderful surprise.
Sorry, I would have called,
I just...
Oh, well, whatever brought you
I couldn't be happier.
Oh...is everything alright?
Of course.
How long have you been asking me
to visit?
Forever.
And you're always too busy.
Oh, baby.
I have missed you.
Come on in the house.
You hungry?
Yeah.
Kick those shoes off.
Go barefoot.
No.
You know, when you were little
I couldn't keep shoes on you.
Mama, this house looks
a little run down.
Well, we're just one big
shabby chic around here
and I'm including myself.
Can't stop the ruins of Rome.
That's what I tell myself.
[laughs]
What does that even mean?
You get old.
Mama, you're not old.
Well, thank you, baby.
Oh.
You haven't changed a thing.
Well, it's perfect
just the way it is.
Why would I?
Yeah.
Oh.
Boy, we had some
good times here, didn't we?
You and your brother just
running around like wild things.
How long can you stay?
I don't know, a week?
A week?
Well, that's no time at all.
They must be just working you
to death up there in Chicago.
Let's not waste a minute.
We'll walk on the beach.
The turtles are layin'.
Mama, the turtles...
I think I'm gonna go check out
the marina.
You still like shrimp?
Of course I do.
I'm still me, aren't I?
I guess so, yeah.
Would ya look at her.
I know, right.
Can I help you?
Yeah, uh, two pounds
of shrimp, please.
Two pounds of shrimp.
You got it.
First time on the island?
Uh, no.
Uh, I've been coming here
since I was a baby.
Really?
Yeah.
I wouldn't have guessed.
'Cause of these?
[laughs]
Exactly.
Yeah.
I'd go with the brown ones.
It matches your eyes.
[small chuckle]
They are still brown, right?
Brett.
Didn't see you there.
Uh, yes you did.
I'll take the brown and the red.
It matches the stain
on his t-shirt.
Barbecue sauce.
Still putting that
on everything?
Yeah.
Including my shirt,
apparently.
Hmm.
Oh, Caretta.
Uh, yeah.
People don't call me
that anymore.
That's too bad.
How long has it been,
five years?
Three, actually.
Three.
Mmmhmm.
Your heels weren't as high.
Yeah, and you had a fianc.
Right.
Yeah, it didn't work out.
No?
She didn't like barbecue sauce
on everything?
[laughs]
Yeah, pretty much.
You know, I gotta tell ya,
I'm really glad to see you.
Really?
Yeah, your mom's been
worried sick about you.
Oh.
Wait, why is she worried
about me?
She doesn't like you
being alone.
Oh.
Well, I am not alone, so...
She says you're having trouble
finding a...
a nice guy.
[chuckles]
You having fun embarrassing me?
Kinda.
Well, I should go.
Wouldn't want my mom to worry.
Oh, there we go!
Those were very expensive!
Most useless things are!
I'll see you around, Caretta!
If you're lucky!
[laughs]
Lovie!
Did you hear?
Hear what?
Two new nests, right back there.
Two, why didn't you tell me?
Well, I just did.
I thought you were
coming out earlier.
I had a surprise.
