Fine, all right,

Well, have it your Way.

I'm gonna put

on lipstick too.

Dad, you need to brush my hair.

Wendy?

Ben, honey, I just needed

a few minutes

to finish getting ready.

You seem so real.

I got this, honey.

Ben, What are you doing?

You know, this is a big day.

We need your help.

Okay, just relax.

This isn't really happening.

You're not really here.

Okay, you just go get ready.

I'll fix this.

Mommy, daddy's

crawling on the floor.

Ben, stop playing around.

You're gonna be late.

I don't Want

to go to church.

Well, then you

don't have to go.

Really?

Thanks, dad.

Dad, dad, no.

I'm not your dad.

I'm not anybody's dad.

I knew I was adopted!

Honey, you are not adopted,

and you are going to church.

Daddy said

I didn't have to.

Ben Walker, are you trying

to drive me crazy this morning?

Or does it just come naturally?

Either way, you're gonna have

to explain to your daughter

why it's so important that

she goes to church.

Oh.

Um, well, see there are certain

things in life that are,

you know, very important.

You know, like,

like uh, like um,

a healthy nutritious breakfast,

you know, and hard Work

and certain amount

of exercise is good.

And?

Oh, and going to church.

I'm not going.

Well, let me make

this easy for you.

First, you're gonna go

because I said so.

And second, if you can't start

thanking Jesus for everything

he's given you, then maybe you

should start giving

some things back, like

starting with your cell phone.

- Ben.

- Huh?

Go.

Go Where?

You know, they say only one

in a hundred people dreams

in color, and apparently

I'm the one,

though I never knew it before.

Wonder if I'll remember

When I Wake up.

Here's your tie.

You're kidding me.

I Wouldn't buy this.

I know.

It Was a father's day gift

from Megan, remember?

Oh.

Okay.

Since When do you know

how to do that on your own?

I'm okay as long as

I don't think about it?

Hmm.

Wow.

Um.

Wendy, there's something I feel

I should tell you,

Which is really strange given

that this is only a dream

and you're never

gonna believe me,

but you have to

because it's important.

It's important

for you to know.

Mm-hmm.

I'm not your Ben.

I mean I am,

but I'm not.

I know.

You do?

You think I don't know

When my husband isn't himself?

It's not easy to come here

and save the day.

It's a lot of pressure, but

I know you're gonna do great.

You always do.

I have no doubt.

NoW put on your coat.

We're gonna be late.

Okay, just go With it

until We can find Mike

and get out of this.

Yeah.

Wait, Megan, one second.

Uh, aren't you

forgetting something?

What?

Oh.

Okay, let's hurry.

Okay.

We're gonna be late.
