We like to have fun,

don't We?

But seriously, though, I need

to have a few words

With this young man.

Look, kid, I'm new

to this father thing,

but I know a deal closer

When I see one.

You're new to

the father thing?

Yeah, so here,

I'll give you 80 bucks

to stay away

from my daughter.

Apparently, it's all I've got.

Are you serious?

Oh, yeah.

But no phone calls,

no stopping by to chat,

no working on homework together.

As of this moment,

she doesn't exist, you got it?

Uh-huh.

Okay, you can leave noW.

Bye-bye, thanks.

Okay.

Wait!

Hey!

What is Wrong With him?

... I don't know.

Come on!

Mike!

Come on, I'm right here.

Why didn't you stop?

Does this look

like a taxi to you?

So have you

figured it out yet?

It's a dream, right?

A long, involved, incredibly

complex and convoluted dream.

You feel pain

in a dream?

No, Why?

Ah!

What'd you do that for?

Well, noW We can

rule out a dream.

But delusions, Well,

that's a lot trickier.

You see, they come With taste

and smell, and the Whole deal.

Well, how can you tell

the difference?

Well, it usually takes

another person,

a disinterested third party

to confirm or deny

that What you perceive is real.

And that Would be you?

Oh yeah, sure.

I could do that for ya.

Just... just so I'm clear,

you honestly expect me

to believe that

you're an angel?

I don't expect

anything from you.

I am what I am.

Well, then prove it.

Do something angelic.

I'm not allowed to use my

power While in earthly form.

You have an answer

for everything.

Not everything.

I don't know What's

Wrong With your car.

Okay, you know,

accepting for the moment

the ridiculous notion that you

are an angel, What is this?

What's Wendy doing here?

Why does everyone act

like they know me?

Oh, that's simple.

It's called the great What if.

What if?

Yeah, see,

every noW and then

he chooses someone

to re-examine their life.

What if you had said yes

instead of no?

What if you had made

different decisions?

What if the Lord was calling

and you answered the call?

And What if, Well, you followed

God's plan for your life

instead of your own?

Well, apparently, I Would

be a second-rate preacher

at a third-rate church

in Clearville.

Well, you knew

what you had.

You just have to see

What you passed up.

Why?

Well, I think it's probably

better if you figure that out.

What if I don't Want to?

Of course you don't Want to.

Humans never Want to do

What's good for 'em.

Anyway, it's good to be you.

That's What you said before.

So this is all part

of being you.

Well, that's

not good enough.

It better be 'cause that's

all you're gonna get.

Excuse me, I got Work to do.
