What about camping? Do you like that?
I went camping once.
- We should go camping more often. - You're right. Time for bed.
- It's only 10:00. - That's right. Time for bed.
Goodnight.
Thank Victoria for the nice dinner.
Thanks for dinner. I never saw anybody cook potatoes that way.
I'm glad you liked it. Goodnight, Jonah.
We don't see a lot of potatoes here. We're rice men.
I'm sorry, Walter. I'm sorry.
Turn on your radio.
The kid is on. You've got me listening to this garbage!
Becky's having trouble with Rick. Becky, I'll call you back.
I'm sorry, Walter. Are you bleeding?
He's kissing her right now!
Are you spying on your father?
- Who is he kissing? - I have to make them stop.
- How will I explain this to Walter? - She made dinner.
She brought food for a whole year!
It's good that your father's dating. It's just hard on you.
You think you want it, but when it happens, it scares you.
Shouldn't your father decide whether someone is right for him?
He's not sane enough.
He's kissing her on the lips. My dad's been captured by a 'ho!
Calm down. Tomorrow, when you're having breakfast, -
- tell him how you feel. Don't keep it inside.
Miss Scarlett. In the broom closet. With the radio.
Walter, you scared me. Don't ever do that again.
- I saw a black widow. - You scared me and Victoria.
- It was right there. - Next time I want you to say:
"Dad, I see a poisonous insect."
And I'll deal with it. Don't scream.
Becky thought Rick was on the radio.
It turned out the guy lived in Duluth. Where's Duluth?
- That doesn't make any sense. - I know. No sense at all.
- Thank God my life is in place. - Duluth? That's in North Dakota.
- Great letter. Write to her. - You think so?
It's Y-O-H. Your only hope.
I thought I'd do a story on those radio shows.
- You'd have to go somewhere. - Definitely.
- Can't you do a phone interview? - No.
- I won't be in Chicago long. - When you get back, I'll be gone.
- Then I'll see you in New York. - I'll get it...
This is Captain Browning. We're cruising at 35,000 feet.
The weather is clear and we'll be in Seattle on schedule.
- Don't you hate flying? - Yes. and I've told a terrible lie.
Is any lie a betrayal?
I said flying.
- Thanks for bringing me here. - He likes the planes.
Can I bring you back a souvenir? Maybe one of these snow globes?
Sure, I'd really like that. Thank you so much.
- He's eight. - He's good at it.
I've read an article about it. Children are hideous at that age.
Maybe when I come back, the two of us ought to spend some time alone.
Bye. Bye, Jonah.
Jonah.
Listen, you don't know Victoria.
In fact she's a mystery to me, too.
She tosses her hair a lot. Why?
Is it a twitch? Does she need a haircut or a barrette?
I'd like to understand these things. And that's why I'm dating her.
Just dating. I'm not living with her. I'm not marrying her.
Can you appreciate the difference?
That's what single people do. They see how other people fit.
Everyone's an adjustment. There's no such thing as a perfect...
Come on.
Dad, Jessica says you knew Annie in another life.
The one who wrote us. But you never got together in that life.
Your hearts will be a complete puzzle once you're together.
I know that because I'm young and pure, in touch with cosmic forces.
Who told you that? I sure hope you're not marrying Jessica.
- I watched them play at the beach. - Did you talk to him?
Couldn't do it.
- How did I get here? - You lied and got on a plane.
- I'm going to talk to him tomorrow. - Okay. Good. Goodbye.
Beck...
- Is this crazy? - No, that's the weirdest part.
- Thank you. I love you. - I love you, too.
It's good to see you. Where's Greg?
Hello.
- Then what? - I left, obviously.
- You were in the street? - It was like walking around naked.
- I love that dream. - This was more humiliating.
But he saw you. You were face to face.
He said hello. And all I could say was hello.
- All I could say was hello. - It's a sign.
It's a sign that I've watched this movie too many times.
From the minute I heard that program I've been a complete jerk.
- You're not a jerk. - Thank you. An idiot!
- You don't know who she was. - I have a picture of her.
The detective sent it to me. See. that's what she looks like.
- It's her back. - It's her and he's crazy about her.
What's this? It's from Seattle.
Becky.
So I mailed your letter...
"Dear Annie. Thanks for your letter. You sound neat."
"We're excited about meeting you in New York, and seeing if we're...
...M-F-E-O."
"See you soon. Sleepless in Seattle."
M-F-E-O?
Made for each other.
It's cute. Like a little clue.
So he can't write. Big deal.
Verbal ability is overrated in guys. Our need for it leads to trouble.
- I'm going to run back to Walter. - And the letter?
It was written before I went out there. Before the 'ho.
But she didn't look like a 'ho. She looked like one of our friends.
- You saw her in the airport, too? - It was like I knew her.
- Like a déjà-vu? - It was very déjà-vu-ish.
- At least you're seeing people. - Well, only one...
- Victoria. - You don't like her?
- She laughs like a hyena. - Is this true?
Sort of. Tell them what you did.
Tell them about the radio show.
Christmas Eve he calls a radio show.
- And tells them I need a new wife. - That's so sweet.
Now he's obsessed with a woman who wrote me.
She wants to meet me on top of Empire State on Valentines Day.
It's like that movie. "An Affair to Remember".
Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr. Is that "car" or "cur"?
They were to meet at the Empire State, but she got hit by a taxi.
He waited and waited. And it was raining.
Then she's too proud to tell him that she's...
...crippled. And he's too proud to find out why she doesn't come.
But he comes to see her anyway.
It's amazing when he visits her.
He doesn't notice that she doesn't get up to say hello.
And he's very bitter.
You think he's going to walk out and never know why.
She's just lying there with a blanket over her shriveled legs.
- Are you all right? - She's fine.
The he says, "I saw the painting," and goes into the bedroom.
And he comes out and looks at her.
And they just know and hug and it's so...
- That's a chick's movie. - I'd say so.
- Who'd write a guy from the radio? - I got hundreds of letters.
- Desperate women. - Is wanting a nice guy desperate?
It's easier to be killed by terrorists than to marry over 40.
- That is not true! - Right, honey.
I don't want a mail-order bride. Just someone who can converse -
- without falling into weepy tears over an old movie.
I cried over "The Dirty Dozen". Jim Brown throwing the grenades.
Richard Jaeckel and Lee Marvin on top of a tank dressed like nazis.
Trini Lopez... breaks his neck when they're parachuting.
Richard Jaeckel had on a shiny helmet. because he was an MP.
Please. no more. God. I love that movie.
- This is the best movie I ever saw. - What's so great about it?
- You have to find her. - How much would it cost to go?
Nobody knows. It changes practically every day.
- How much money do you have? - 80 dollars.
- I have 42. That'll cover cabs. - How would I get there?
I have to drop these tickets off. Can you keep an eye on things?
- Window seat or aisle? - Window.
You want a fruit plate? I'd rather die than eat airplane food.
I'll write you're 12. That way you can fly unaccompanied.
- Who'd believe I'm 12? - They'll believe the computer.
I'll say you're short for your age, but that they shouldn't mention it.
Great idea!
- You'll miss the train. - No I won't.
I'm so happy, Becky. This is right. It's real.
The other things happen in movies.
Don't tell anyone what I did. I'd die -
- if anyone knew I did anything like that. You promise?
Sleepless in Seattle is history.
- Go ahead. - No, you go.
I was going to say that since Christmas -
- you've been kind of distracted.
But now it feels as if you're coming back from wherever you were.
I am.
I was just... I think I got nervous.
But that's normal, right? Don't you ever feel nervous...
- About what? - Forever.
No.
Well... I did.
And I think I thought it was too perfect.
I was afraid we'd be two rights making a wrong.
You know. it was like kismet. but not, if you see what I mean.
You have to grow up and forget the adolescent fantasies about -
- how exciting life will be. I'm sorry, but I love this pattern.
You couldn't. This is just like my grandmother's china.
- How many place settings? - Ten.
Exactly. Eight is too few, twelve is too many.
- Walter... - It was my mother's.
I had them size it down. She had really fat fingers.
It's so beautiful. It's exactly what I'd pick -
- if I had every ring in the world to choose from.
Some people want a relationship to be full of surprises, -
- but I'm not one of them.
Surprises are highly overrated.
I'll only be gone one night. Clarise will be here...
You can watch scary movies.
- Are you going with her? - I'm going with Victoria.
Don't try anything tricky.
Don't roll in poison ivy or do anything so you need stitches.
If your finger falls off, it stays off. I won't take you to hospital.
- Is this about that woman? - Annie.
- I don't care what you do! - I'll tell you what I'm doing.
I'm getting laid. I'm the only man in the 90's who's getting laid.
And I haven't been laid that much. Six or seven girls at college.
How long have you been there? What did you hear me say?
- "Six-seven girls at college." - Seven... Eight! Mary Kelly.
This is the one I like.
Jonah, you won't like any woman, because it isn't your mother.
- What's wrong with Annie? - Jonah, shut up.
Shut up? Mum never told me to shut up or yelled at me.
This conversation is over!
This woman could be a sick lunatic. Didn't you see "Fatal Attraction"?
- You wouldn't let me. - It scared every man in America.
I'm not leaving till you say yes.
I hate you!
Good, then you can tell Oprah how your dad ruined your life -
- by going of for a weekend special at the Holiday Inn!
Jonah. Clarise is here and I've got to go.
Jonah. listen. I've got to go...
Jessica. tell us where he is. Jonah's dad is very upset.
Jessica, this is your father. Tell us where he is.
- N-Y. - That means "no way".
That's N-W!
- He's on his way to New York. - How?
United. 597.
- When does it leave? - 7:30.
Here's a pin for flying with us.
- Can I take this for you? - No.
- Where to. kid? - Empire State Building.
- Don't stop so close to the curb.
There it is. What are you going to do up there? Spit off the top?
No, I'm meeting my new mother.
- I'm Jonah. Are you Annie? - No, I'm Cynthia.
Excuse me, are you Annie?
Great table. Thanks.
Is something wrong?
- Can I get you a drink? - Champagne?
Fine.
We'll have a bottle of Dom DeLuise.
- Just kidding. - He meant Dom Perignon.
Beautiful view.
Walter... There's something I must tell you.
Sorry, an emergency.
Money, money, money, see?
So he could be on top of the Empire State Building now?
No. I guess he could be... No.
It's not him. Walter. It's me. I can't do this.
Annie, I love you. But let's leave that out of this.
I don't want to be someone that you or anybody else settles for.
Marriage is hard enough without such low expectations.
- Isn't it? - Walter, I don't deserve you.
No, I wouldn't put it that way.
But... okay.
- You okay? - Yeah.
- What? - Look.
- It's a sign. - Who needed a sign?
Walter, I have to go.
Jonah!
Dad!
What if something happened to you? What if I couldn't get to you?
I'm sorry.
What would I have done? You're my family. You're all I have.
I thought she'd be here.
We're doing okay, right? So far, have I done anything stupid?
- Have I screwed it up for us? - No.
- Observation deck? - Sorry, it's too late.
- Please. I need to get up there. - We're closing up.
Can I just take a look? I'm supposed to meet someone.
He's probably not there, but if I don't look, I'll always wonder.
- Cary Grant, right? - You know that movie?
It's one of my wife's favorites.
Maybe when we get home we'll get a dog.
- Wouldn't you like to have a dog? - Sure.
I'm sorry, ma'am. Empty.
- Can I take a minute? - Go ahead.
I left it by the telescopes.
It's you. I saw you in the street.
- Are you Annie? - Yes.
You're Annie?
- This must be yours. - I'm Jonah.
- This is my dad. His name is Sam. - Hi. Jonah.
Sam...
- And who's this? - Howard.
We'd better go.
Shall we?
Sam... It's nice to meet you.
