Mommy got sick.
And it happened just like that.
There's nothing anybody could do.
It isn't fair.
There's no reason.
But if we start asking why,
we'll go crazy.
Five minutes in the microwave,
any one of them, five minutes in, done.
Ready to eat.
Do you know how to make juice?
Microwave, five minutes.
Here.
My shrink.
Collin.
Loss of spouse.
Support group.
Chicago Cancer Family Network.
Parents without partners.
Partners without parents.
Hug yourself.
Hug a friend.
Hug a shrink.
Or work.
Work hard.
Work will save you.
Work is the only thing that will see you through this.
Don't mind him.
He's just a guy who's lost his wife.
What I think we really need is
a change.
Good idea.
Take a couple of weeks off,
get some sun,
take Jonah fishing.
No, a real change.
A new city.
A place where every time I go around a corner,
I don't think of men.
Where are you gonna go?
I was thinking about Seattle.
Eventually, in a few months,
you'll start seeing women.
You'll meet some.
Right, right.
Move on, right.
That's what I'm gonna do.
And then in a few months, boom, I'll be fine.
I'll just grow a new heart.
Sam, I'm sorry.
She didn't mean that.
I know, I know.
Look, it just doesn't happen twice.
You must remember this.
A kiss is still a kiss.
A sigh is just a sigh.
The fundamental things apply.
As time goes by.
And when two lovers woo,
they still say, I love you.
I'm that you can rely.
No matter what the future brings.
As time goes by.
Moonlight and love songs
never out of date.
Hearts full of passion,
jealousy and hate.
Woman needs man.
And man must have his mate
that no one can deny.
It's still the same old story.
A fight for love and glory.
A case of do or die.
The world will always welcome lovers
as time goes by.
The tall one with red hair is your cousin Irene.
You recognize her by the disappointed look on her face.
I was married to Harold, who ran off with his secretary.
But came back because Irene threatened to put the dog to sleep if he didn't.
Brother Dennis is Professor Johns Hopkins.
He was married to Betsy.
The most competitive woman in the world.
I don't see how I'm going to remember all this.
Oh, well, Walter, you will.
Your uncle Milton lost all of his money.
And some other people.
In a pyramid scheme.
Don't mention the IRS or the federal prison system.
Your mother is Barbara, your father is Cliff.
My father has electric trains.
Really?
Am I what they had in mind?
Oh, Walter, they're going to love you.
Everybody.
Annie has an announcement.
Walter and I are engaged.
Are you all right?
It's nothing.
Maybe it's the flowers.
We'll move.
No, don't touch.
I feel terrible sneezing at a time like this.
This is a very important moment for me.
He's allergic to everything. Don't worry about it.
Bees.
I'm allergic to bees.
Harold is allergic to every type of bee.
We always have to carry a hypodermic of adrenaline wherever we go.
If he eats even one tiny piece of a nut...
My head swells up like a watermelon and I drop dead.
It's the same with Harold and bees.
Your mother and I had salmon at our wedding.
And I really think that a wedding without cold salmon is...
I'm not allergic to salmon.
Oh, he's not allergic to salmon.
I don't think.
But you never know.
You never know.
Harold wasn't always allergic to bees.
Oh, honey, what a shame.
We had some champagne. And what did we use it for?
Uncle Milton's parole.
And it was delicious.
It was, wasn't it, Milton?
When are you getting married, Annie?
In early June, in the garden.
Does it have to be in the garden?
What about Harold and bees?
I'm allergic to bees.
Cold salmon. A lovely cucumber salad.
Strawberries.
I'm afraid I am allergic to strawberries.
Is this all right with you, Walter?
Today, I consider myself the luckiest man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man.
The Luke Eric line.
Remember, remember, Dad, the Luke Eric line from the...
Pride of the Yankees.
Baseball. Baseball.
Historical reference.
I would like to propose a toast.
Hear, hear.
To my kid sister.
To Walter and my baby.
To Walter and Annie.
Everyone, please eat before it gets cold.
