The dying cats, most of the cat food commercials, the goodos dogs.
You'll be amazed what dogs will do for new variety goodo.
Angela Towers and her business partner Julie Lurimer run Animal House.
They represent more than a thousand creatures, great and small.
So how do you turn the family pet into a major star?
Well they've got to be stars in their own home first.
They've got to be very confident, very outgoing, able to cope with different circumstances, children, adults.
They've got to be able to cope with crowds. They've got to be the crowd pleaser.
Good boy, Angela. Good boy.
So how much can an average animal earn?
Averagely it's about $300 a day for the average family pet.
All jobs are different and it depends on what the contracts are that we negotiate.
It's at this point I realise if Brutus is going to make it, he'll need a little bit of help.
On three legs. Slow. Slow. Come on. Slow. Good.
Lucura is a veteran animal trainer and has his own stable of four legged actors.
So how much time does an owner need to spend with their dog?
I start off basically working, I guess, five minutes per exercise.
And gradually I would probably spend, like if I'm doing a feature film,
I would spend up to four or five hours a day with that dog.
Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, mouse. Good boy.
Two-year-old Forrest stars in the Aussie movie Pause. This Jack Russell's a real ham.
He's the Schwarzenegger of short doggies.
And he's coming for your funny ball.
Who are you talking to?
Get your greasy hands off me, fat boy.
I mean, I enjoy the job. I do travel a lot, mainly with the animals, but the animals live a great life.
They stay in a lot of motels. They travel with me.
Oh, look, dearie, let's go somewhere quiet, snip something good, like car tires.
I mean, I've had dogs traveling in limos. I've had dogs getting fed in some of the best motels in the country.
So they really get the star treatment.
Oh, they do.
A lifestyle fit for a king and one I'm sure my boy Brutus would enjoy.
One of the things that I do first, I was get a dog focused on me. So I use a little bit of food and I'll show how I do it.
Brutus, good boy, stay. Good boy, buddy. That's a boy. Good boy.
The tail's wagging already. He likes these.
So he has potential.
Oh, he has potential, yes. He's a nice looking dog too and he's happy. He's got his tail wagging.
Brutus was on his way, but it's a long, hard road to the top. Many are called, but fewer chosen.
Just ask Raymond the ram, who's shot to stardom thanks to the Ram's advertising campaign.
Now Raymond, should you call Ram's home loans now if you're looking for a better home?
Yep.
An investment property?
Yep.
He's one in a million really. We went through some 200 Rams to actually find a replacement one for him and we still really haven't got a real replacement.
Informative as usual, Raymond, haven't you?
Yep.
So does Raymond pay for himself?
He does in a big way actually, yes. Yeah, Ram's home loans keep him all the time. He's their permanent mascot.
I sometimes say we save the best for last.
It's time for Brutus to show his true colours.
How old's Brutus, Rachel?
Brutus is five. I've brought a little photograph of Brutus for you.
Oh, stage mum, don't you love it.
All right, Brutie, come over here. Brutus.
Brutus, this way please. Brutus, Brutus, Brutus.
He does that on cue too.
Oh, he wheezes on cue, doesn't he? That's a very useful skill.
With one lift of a leg, my dog's career was down the toilet. Fame is a difficult business.
So for the few who make it, how many are left on the shelf?
Oh, that's a very awful way of putting it. It really is. I mean, there are none of them left on the shelf.

Hello there and welcome to our house.
Are you looking for that special something to fill an empty space in your home?
Well, keep your eyes peeled because tonight we're starting off in what you might call a furniture and homewares showroom with a difference.
That's right.
I've just been looking around and I reckon there's probably something for everybody here from the conventional to the outrageous, but it's all different.
Before we check out a few things, we should see what else is on tonight's show.
Absolutely.
We're along for the ride as this bathroom gets a great looking makeover without breaking the bank.
I'll check out a new coating created to prevent this sort of disaster at your place.
And Reg meets a pest exterminator whose dog is not only his best friend, but also his business partner.
First up, though, this place.
Situated in an old warehouse in Sydney's inner city, Combo Design opened its doors three years ago.
It began as a furniture showroom for unknown Australian designers.
Today it's still that and a whole lot more.
Everyone loves a Barbie and these are beauties.
Well, very interesting. Made from a section of a 44 gallon drum, they come with a hot plate as standard and the grill is optional.
And these handles, I understand, are genuine cow bones.
If you're looking to splash out on a sofa bed, you really can't go past this wave design.
But there's more to this piece of furniture than meets the eye.
It can also be used as a room partition.
And let's not forget the kitchen sink. However, in this case, it's surely not where you'd expect it to be.
Used here as a bed head, I think you'd have to say it was unusual.
Anyway, it's time to get on with the rest of the show.
Rebecca and I will see you back here a bit later.
For the young family who live here, the timing's never been quite right to make over their 40 year old bathroom.
But now they've been forced into action because the tiles are literally falling off the walls.
I'm going to leave Grace here to finish reading and show you.
See what I mean? But it's not just the tiles letting the side down in here.
All the fixtures are really starting to show their age.
The pedestal basin's cracked, the old enamel bath's lost its luster, and the shower base is a little on the grungy side.
The plan is to re-tile the walls and the shower base and repair and resurface the old basin and bath.
The first job is to remove all the old, drummy tiles so the walls can be re-lined and waterproofed.
To save money, the owners are doing this job themselves. So I thought I'd help them to get started.
The tiles are from Johnson's Horizons range.
While work's underway on the bath back at the house, I thought I'd drop in here to Newprides Factory in Melbourne to see how the pedestal basin's resurfaced.
Resurfacing is a finishing system we've shown you before.
It's a budget alternative to replacing fixtures like wall tiles, baths, showers and basins.
In preparation for resurfacing, the basin is sandblasted before a rust treatment is applied.
Then the re-enameling process begins.
The first rust treatment is applied first.
Then the new enamel finish goes on.
After a few days of heat curing, the basin is reinstalled.
And it will be at least five days until the bath is ready for use.
With the resurfacing now complete, the final touches can be added.
The mirror will open up what is a closed corner of the room.
And this mirror gives the old medicine cabinet a lift.
A great result achieved at a great price.
Some of the costs being tiling at $1789, resurfacing $810, shower screen $399 and the mirror $98.
Bringing the total cost to $4381.
Wednesday night at the movies.

Each year fire brigades around Australia attend more than 10,000 house fires.
And there are possibly double that number that go unreported.
So when we heard that a new fire retarding treatment had come on the market,
we thought we'd put it to the test, the flame test.
This is Safe Coat Fabric Treatment, a water-based product that can be sprayed directly onto toys, carpets, bed linen and even paper.
Now we've set up two bedrooms.
This one hasn't been treated with any fire retardant.
The one next door has.
For the first part of our test, we're going to set fire to various items in this room
just to see how quickly a fire can spread.
And to make sure that the flames don't get out of control,
we have a crew from the New South Wales Fire Brigade standing by.
OK, what I'm going to do is simulate a fire in a waste paper basket.
Here goes.
I think I'm out of here.
Well, once it took, it was scary how fast it went.
And in case you're worried that we've just destroyed some poor child's bedroom,
we've actually mopped this up in a house that's about to be demolished.
So let's see if we can get the treated room to burn.
Now this little gizmo burns at a thousand degrees centigrade,
so if something's going to catch, this should do it.
On the treated teddy, the heat caused the fabric to melt but not burn.
Most of the black substance is a chemical formed when the fire reacts with salts in the retarder.
It was a similar result with the bedspread and the nylon curtains.
It also comes in the form of a fire retardant paint,
and as a comparison, we've got one wall that's been treated and one wall that hasn't.
So let's see the difference.
On both surfaces, the paint burns, but on the treated wall,
the chemicals form what's called a char cushion that cuts off oxygen to the flames.
When the crust is scraped away, the timber isn't even scorched.
It's a different story on the other wall.
It's important to note that this product is not a substitute
for other fire prevention measures like smoke alarms and fire extinguishers,
and to all you teddy lovers out there,
we hope that this little fella has been sacrificed in the cause of saving some lives.
Like the view, so did Bill and Wendy Rooney
when they happened upon a for sale sign on this block back in 1978.
Well, they bought it and they've been building here ever since.
Now, this is definitely a work in progress, not finished by a long shot,
and the reasons are obvious when you see what an extraordinary job they're doing.
Whilst it's large scale, it's not the size or opulence of the house that's so amazing,
it's the meticulous attention to detail.
All the building materials are natural and are fitting accompaniment to the view,
but they're being compiled with remarkable thought,
so much so that many of the usual building aids like nails and fasteners, say,
are completely hidden.
There's an astounding amount of carved sandstone in these walls,
about 500 square metres, double thickness with a cavity in between,
and Bill has cut and shaped all of it on site using a variety of tools.
Imagine the first day of work on a project like this.
I mean, where do they start?
The runes are definitely made of the right stuff.
Undoubtedly.
Do you know they actually occupied this rickety shed for eight years?
They cut it up with a chainsaw and had it moved on site
so they could live within spitting distance of the construction.
This convinces me they're more than a bit resilient,
they're probably more than a bit obsessed as well.
Fortunately, they've finally moved into the new house,
occupying the upstairs guest room while work advances
on the adjoining master and en suite.
Downstairs, they're grateful to finally have a functioning kitchen.
This has quite a view over the patio to the Pacific,
a perspective shared by the adjoining living area.
The staircase is definitely worth a mention
because of the extraordinary curve on the underside of it,
which is made of tassie oak.
And because of the curve, Bill had to scarf or half cut
the back of the timber on the diagonal
so that he could twist and taper the hardwood.
And then he's made a feature of all the nail holes
by plugging them with cedar.
Look, I'm overwhelmed.
There's a fantastic design or construction story
to just about every element of this house,
from the shingled roof bowed into an arc to reflect waves
and assembled like a Meccano set,
to the interior fireplaces complete with buried time capsules,
and of course all the exceptionally clever windows.
Not surprisingly, each of these elements took months,
sometimes years, to complete,
and sadly there just isn't enough time to tell each story.
So you'll just have to take my word for it
when I tell you the effort was phenomenal.
It's certain to continue being so,
and hopefully one day soonish it'll all be finished.
Now, if you live in a house that's a bit tight for space
and you've got no room for the clothesline,
for example a unit or a townhouse,
or maybe you're a bit embarrassed about hanging the undies out the back,
don't despair, because I'm going to show you how to build a clothes rack
out of a couple of pieces of dowel and some radiator pine.
Cut two pieces of pine 600mm long.
And because I'm cutting it by hand,
I'm going to mark it with a square across the top and down the edges
as a guide to give me a more accurate cut.
Then cut four pieces of 150mm.
Now, the materials I've cut are for the base.
What we're really making is just a simple cross,
but of course I'm going to need some support for that.
So I just take two of those.
They're going to be glued and screwed at the ends of that.
And in the middle, we'll fix these ones there
for something to support the post.
Now, where are we going to put our washing?
The bigger dowel will be our upright post.
The smaller dowels are going to be our hanging rails.
I've just got to drill a hole through in a second.
What I'll do is I'll put them at different heights and at different angles,
and the reason for that is so the washing machine
can be a little bit more stable.
And then I'll put the other dowels in the same way.
What I'll do is I'll put them at different heights and at different angles,
and the reason for that is so the washing up the top
doesn't sit on the washing down below.
I've got to drill a hole into the top of the base for our post to sit in,
but I don't want to drill through this piece here.
So what I've done with the spade bit, I've marked it with some tape
so I don't drill my hole too deep.

These unusual lamps work on a very simple principle.
The light bulb produces heat, hot air rises, so the cylinder turns.
Normally the lamp sells for $80, but it's just come on the market in a kit form for half the price.
So let's see how easy it is to put together.
The kit comes with everything cut to length and patterns so you know what goes where.
First we have to make the frame.
Well that's the frame complete.
Now for the paper shade, and it comes cut and folded to size.
I've already glued it together and the secret here is not to use too much glue or the paper will wrinkle.
When you get the kit, the electrical cord will be attached to this strut,
but you will need to put the wire spindle into the hole.
It gets glued to the centre of the base.
Just make sure when you're putting it into position that you don't poke a hole in the paper.
The next step is to make the top and base of the acetate cylinder before attaching them.
Now you should have two white strips left, one with the marks.
Are you still with me?
These get glued to the top and the bottom and there are punch holes in the acetate to show you where to glue.
Making the fan is next, a few folds later and it's ready to connect to the cylinder.
Finally the silhouette is taped on and that's it, a revolving lamp.
Now the kit is easy to put together, the key is to be patient and allow the glue to dry between stages.
Make sure you always have some great renovating and decorating ideas within arm's reach by keeping a copy of the Our House magazine handy.
There's a bright new issue waiting for you at the stands now.
Meet Al for the six year old purebred cockaspaniel.
He's very cute and very good, aren't you boy? Yeah, and very lovable.
But don't be fooled by the big brown eyes and the long floppy ears.
This dog is a great
weapon, yes, and his target, termites. So you better do your stuff. Go on, seek on Al.
Alf is a trusted employee of the pest management company Pest Force.
Under the watchful eye of his owner, Shane Clark, Alf's job is to help locate termite activity and nests as well as pinpoint where the insects may be getting into a house.
Good boy, seek it out. Oh, what's in there, Alf? More termites.
He was trained using methods developed in Northern Ireland for the detection of bombs and relies on his sense of smell and natural instinct to retrieve.
While Al's off on the hunt, I'll give you a background on termites.
They're ferocious little creatures and they live in colonies either under the
ground or in trees. They tunnel out from there to find food and they can cause extensive damage to property.
Every year, millions of dollars are spent on repairs.
So Shane, mission successful? Absolutely. Alf's been a good dog. He sure has.
Yeah, we saw him reacting in three or four areas there where we've now found the termite leads underneath the house coming up into the structure.
So finding those points where the termites are going to be is a very important part of the job.
So finding those points where the termites are gaining entry to the building are fairly critical to getting control.
And what's the treatment likely to be?
Well, we'll look further now to see if we can find the actual nest itself and then we'll start by doing an arsenic dust treatment to the live termites within the building.
Right. So you'd call Alf a working dog, but how many hours a week does Alf work?
Well, he's rather privileged. He only works 10 to 15 hours a week.
Why is that? That's so that he always thinks it's a fun game.
It's always a privilege to work and that way he stays keen and indicates nice and strong.
Oh, I see. Doesn't get bored. That's exactly it.
And can I ask what he gets paid more than I do? Oh, he gets paid heaps. He does it for the sheer love.
Does he? For the sheer love of it. And his dog biscuits at the end of the day. For master. That's right.
Yeah. There are several things you can do to reduce the risk of termite damage at your place.
For a start, make sure there's good subfloor ventilation and that there aren't any drainage or plumbing problems because termites love moisture.
Don't leave timber lying on the ground around the house. That'll encourage them also.
But most importantly, you should have regular pest inspections.
If you happen to find the termites yourself, don't whatever you do disturb them. Call in the pros straight away.

Victoria preparing to trial a radical heroin program.
Naltrexone, a drug that's been in the news for a while now.
It takes the high out of heroin and can break the deadly cycle of addiction.
Now doctors are excited about its potential in the treatment of alcoholism.
In a new Australian trial, Naltrexone is being used to block the buzz you get from alcohol.
And it could help hundreds of thousands of alcoholics turn their lives around.
One in three Australians like Michael suffers from alcohol dependence or has a family member who does.
A Vietnam veteran, he spent years trying to forget painful memories of the war.
Just needed to keep drinking once I started.
Buy a bottle in the morning, buy lunch time, be gone and have to have another bottle.
The effect was dramatic mood swings which were traumatic for Michael and his family.
But when he got to that point it was dreadful because we just watched him change.
He was sad, he was depressed. And nobody could help him because we didn't know why.
Got to a stage where I took my 22 with me and went in for joy.
I was going to put an end to it all.
Michael drank heavily to get up his courage. But instead of killing himself, he fell asleep.
Spanning a little bit is about normal.
Now he's been thrown a lifeline with the help of Naltrexone.
Here's how it works. When alcohol enters the bloodstream, it sends a message to the brain to release feel-good chemicals known as endorphins.
Naltrexone blocks that message and stops drinkers from getting the buzz that keeps them going back for more.
They just don't feel as good when they have their first drink.
They also report less craving so hopefully they're less likely to drink.
That's the most significant step in breaking the devastating alcoholic cycle.
The next step is making it a permanent part of life.
But for most people the urge to drink is so strong that very few can do it alone.
Have you been staying off the drink?
Yeah.
Professional counselling, family support and groups like Alcoholics Anonymous are crucial.
With traditional detoxification treatments, within three months 50% go back on the bottle.
Doctors say Naltrexone can cut that in half.
And it's worked for Michael. He hasn't had a drink for more than a year and Naltrexone has transformed his life.
Mike's just back to normal, you know, the good old happy-go-lucky jovial jokes with the kids, plays, you know, he's just good again.
It's really something, I didn't think things would work out this way.
I'm a lot happier now than I have been for years and years and years.
Michael didn't have many side effects from the drug, but it can cause nausea, diarrhoea and anxiety.
Naltrexone isn't available over the county yet, but it can be obtained by patients with special approval.
Well, we're almost out of time, but before we go, I'd like to tell you about a woman I met recently in Melbourne.
She has a sculptured body developed by eating, more eating and a lot of exercise.
And again, one more, come on, one more.
For Femi Iyigan, the pursuit of the perfect body is all about sweating it out.
Incredible as it seems, Femi does it without drugs.
Eating is the key to her remarkable power and she eats a lot, 10 times a day, every hour and a half.
If you have a high performance car, you need to put fuel in.
It's got to be clean fuel and regularly fueled.
Let's do it, come on, move it up.
Lifting almost two thirds of her own body weight, Femi burns plenty of fuel.
Hold it, hold it.
And release.
But a regular top up of food keeps her metabolism high and her energy levels constant.
In just five years, Femi has transformed the way she looks.
From this to this.
It's drastically changed her lifestyle and already won her a bodybuilding world title.
Is it an obsession?

A gump month blockbuster.
You got no right coming out here telling me how to do my job.
A renowned professor of law, driven by conscience to take a case.
I don't hear any evidence. We had a confession.
Is he saving an innocent man?
This confession was called us.
Or freeing a killer?
You got more food, don't you?
You meant no nothing, Bob?
Sean Connery and Laurence Fishburne.
Daddy?
Laurence.
And the suburb premiere.
There's no one beyond my reach.
Did you kill him?
The Last Gorse, 8.30 Sunday.
I'm sorry.
I don't honestly think either one of us is ever going to look like that, do you?
Not if you sit in that chair, you won't.
Maybe if I wore that outfit.
What outfit?
She's wearing a bra and dental floss.
Did I leave the door open?
I used my key.
It's amazing, isn't it, how simply watching an exercise program can actually affect the metabolic process.
Might those be cookies in a bowl of milk?
They have fiber in them.
Besides, haven't you heard your whole life how cookies and milk make the perfect combination?
Oh, Joy, more workmen have arrived.
Well, at least they're on schedule.
Do your best.
Always.
Thanks, Dad.
Hey, Tim, how's it going?
Good.
My mom baked Mrs. Hopman some muffins.
Is this going to the dishwasher?
Mary?
Brian was good with his hands.
He built the gardening shed for Mom.
Just about single-handedly kept this house on its foundation until she died.
Your mother would be very proud of how beautifully you've taken care of this house.
Say, are you in the mood to peel beets?
No, thank you.
I don't even want to be in the same house with beets.
Bye, neighbor.
Hey, Tim, give me a favor.
I have a problem with the hose, some kind of blockage.
It'll only take a minute.
I really appreciate the help.
Let me get these boards in the house.
Good thinking.
I just called you.
I'm not home.
And I won't be until much later.
Do you want some more coffee?
No, I wanted to tell you why I came over in the first place.
Okay, tell.
Well, ask, really.
Are you doing anything tonight?
Several things is more like it.
I'm spending a few hours at the animal shelter,
and then I'm spying on another bookstore to see what their book signings are like.
Okay, just chalk it up to another lost opportunity.
Let me guess, another last-minute fix-up, and this time he's really Mr. Perfect.
Well, no, he's not.
But I did mention to him that you were, and that you might be at dinner.
Sorry. Thanks anyway. Good luck.
Look down inside and tell me if you see anything.
You see anything?
Now?
Are you all right?
Yes.
What happened?
He's accident-prone. Bill, turn off the water.
Steve.
Get back to work.
I'm really sorry.
I could do something to fix it.
I know how, and I could if you wanted.
Go on, I'll work it out.
Hey, we know you didn't do it on purpose.
Huh?
It's okay.
Go on, that's a good guy.
How in the world did that happen?
Have your gardener replace the plants and you send me the bill.
Thank you.
I don't have a gardener.
He quit last week.
I'm talking about he-fever.
Now just tell me what to order and I'll find somebody.
Well, let's see.
Fox gloves, impatience, marigold, Dale's azalea.
What about your worker?
Which worker?
The one who did it.
You mean to fix it up?
Well, he said he could.
That young man, he's a few cans short of a six-pack,
if you know what I mean.
I don't care if he has two heads as long as he can do the work.
Is there a possibility he knows something about gardening?
This old man's a retired landscaper.
We go back a ways.
Tell me what you want him to do.
This guy has played tricks on you before, right?
He plays a lot of tricks on me.
So you should have been on your guard against him, right?
I should have been on my guard with him, that's for sure.
Okay, now, the next time this same guy asks you to do something for him,
what's the first thing going to pop up in your mind?
Huh?
The first thing, first thing going to pop up in your mind is,
this guy plays tricks on me.
Maybe he doesn't really want me to do something for him at all.
Maybe he just wants to play a trick.
I'm never going to fix a hose for him anymore.
You're damn right you're not.
You're never going to do anything for him anymore
because he can't be trusted.
That's for sure.
Good boy.
Except I might do something for him sometimes
because he's a pretty nice guy.
Go tell your sister and Stephen to wash up for supper.
What would you say if I asked you to marry me?
If you asked me to marry you?
I'm conducting the Justine Melville preliminary survey.
Mom says it's time to wash up for supper.
Don't ever do that.
Mom told me to.
No, I know, but what I mean is don't sneak up on people,
especially when they're together, alone.
Let them know you're there by knocking on the door
and saying excuse me.
Excuse me.
Guess who I ran into downtown this afternoon.
Hank Pern.
Hank?
Mm-hmm.
That lived across the street from us when the kids were little.
Oh, sorry.
That was so...
Heavier.
Same frizzy hair.
There'll be less of it.
I told him Justine was practically a judge now.
Dad, that would make me the only person in history
to graduate law school and go directly to the bench.
Yes, if I was talking about the little kid
with the two front teeth missing.
Dad!
Stephen, you've hardly eaten.
Are you sick?
No, no, no.
Um...
Just a little nervous.
Okay, um, there's something I have to do,
and I guess I've got to get it over with.
Justine, with your family as my witness,
I am kneeling on your kitchen floor
and I'm going to ask you to be my wife.
Wait, we're just murder on my right patella.
To ask you to be my wife.
It's a ring.
So if it so pleases the court,
the plaintiff requests an answer of yes or no.
Honey?
Yes.
Congratulations.
That's wonderful.
Come here.
Come here, darling.
I'm getting married, Timmy.
I thought that's what it was.
Okay, give me a hug.
I'm not sleepy.
Any idea why?
It's Justine going away.
She's going to marry Steven.
Uh-huh.
Yes.
She and Steven will live together.
Will she come back like when she came back from college?
She'll come back to visit, but she won't live here again.
Will she still be my little sister?
Forever and always.
But I'm going to have a life with Steven now, Timmy.
We're going to have our own home together.
We're going to have our own children.
Everything that's the end of one thing, Tim,
is the beginning of something else.
And that makes us happy and sad at the same time.
Why can't Steven come live here?
Well, he's leaving his family, too, to be with me.
That's what you do when you grow up.
I want you to live with me.
We'll live together again someday, Timmy.
When?
When my mother missed me when I left home to marry your dad.
But if I hadn't married him,
I wouldn't have had you two angels, would I?
Sometimes I'm not an angel.
No.
It's time for sleep.
Okay.
I guess you can marry Steven.
Thanks, big brother.
If you give me permission, I will.
Good night.
MUSIC
On a current affair...
Relieving chronic back pain...
Oh, that feels great.
The slow and steady approach...
It's basically allowed for me to function as a normal human being again.
And converts swear by it.
So you're a new woman, are you?
I'm a new woman, yeah.

You know, as long as I have to get up every four hours
to do all this stuff out,
the least you could do is have a good attitude.
Come on. Come on.
Good.
All right. That's it.
Cats.
You ought to make tuna-flavored medicine for cats.
Remember, it's Saturday.
It's the day we sleep in.
CAR ENGINE
Excuse me.
What do you think you're doing?
That must be a trick question.
No, it's not a trick question.
I just want to know.
What exactly do you think you're doing?
Cutting the grass.
Well, would you stop, please?
Would you stop?
What?
Would you stop?
I'd like...
Stop!
Do you have any idea how inappropriate it is to just march into someone's garage without
permission and create ear-splitting pandemonium mowing a lawn nobody asked you to mow in the
first place?
At six...
What?
It's yellow.
It's cat medicine.
You have a sick cat?
I'm a volunteer at the shelter.
Some cats needed medicating through the night, so I took them home.
I fixed the flowers.
Thank you.
You want to see?
Okay.
It's perfect.
How long have you been here?
A few hours.
I like to see the sun come up.
Did you ever think that if you got up after sunrise that you could have slept for two
days and skipped a whole day in between and you'd never know?
No.
I never thought that.
I don't want to skip any days.
That's for sure.
No, I don't either.
We didn't fed the flowers, and I turned the compost in the back.
I was very thoughtful.
Thank you.
I'll pay you for any extra work you've done.
No, no, you won't.
I broke the flowers because I wasn't on my guard.
My dad says you have to take responsibility for your actions.
He says do more than people expect, always mind your P's and Q's, and never take no
for an answer.
Your father has a lot to say.
That's for sure.
You can put the mower away now.
Sorry, no can do.
I've got to finish a job.
You've got to finish a job to start.
My dad says that.
He says a garden is like the person who grows it, and yours is pretty happy, but it could
be more taken care of.
What's your name?
Tim.
I'm Mary, Mary Horton.
Tim, how would you like a job?
Well, I've got a job.
No, I mean on Saturdays, taking care of my garden.
Sure.
I'd like that a lot.
Okay then, Saturdays, but not before nine o'clock.
Not before nine, that's for sure.
Mary Mary Horton, you're a very nice person.
It's just one, Mary.
Thank you.
You're a very nice person, too.
Yes, I am.
Good morning, Forbesy.
What was that sound?
Good morning, Forbesy.
It might be good if it weren't for the damn cicadas.
I don't know how they can hear themselves think.
Well, the way I understand it, cicadas don't have brains or ears,
so as far as they're concerned, it's just good vibrations.
Anything happening I should know about?
Oh, your travel agent left a packet by the door.
It's under the counter.
Where are you off to this year?
Oh, I don't know.
Someplace quiet.
Valley, I think.
It's the rainy season there.
You better bring a good book if you can find one.
So, what's the scoop about tonight?
I got the coffee.
And the rental place will deliver the chairs by three,
and the bakery called to say that the pastries will be here at 11.
You know, when I was spying at Page's the other night,
they were handing out free bookmarks.
We don't have bookmarks.
Well, I have to go to the nursery later.
I could pick some up on my way.
You haven't found a gardener yet?
Actually, I think I have.
Why can't he go to the nursery?
I'm not sure he drives.
Oh, you hired a kid?
No, a man.
Apparently with some limitations.
How unusual.
Can he garden?
He can most definitely garden.
And he's charming.
Charming is important in a gardener.
At least Lady Chatterley thought so.
Five hours in a waiting room.
I've been told by a doctor I've never met that he can only offer temporary treatment.
Now Algernon might have to wait up to a year to have a proper operation.
And all because you wouldn't take our private house cover.
Well now, how's our Cynthia today?
Fine, thanks.
With MBF you get your choice of hospital, your choice of doctor, and immediate treatment.

A night of heartfelt emotion.
I've never been one stuck for words, but I am now.
And genuine surprises.
You'll remember the ponies you used to ride as a kid.
You're not going to bring him on stage, are you?
Who will Mike Honor next?
Are you getting me back for something?
It's my Thursday.
And one for Tim.
Hey, how are you?
Hey, Ed, how you doing?
How you doing, buddy?
Good.
Still doing construction?
Yep.
And I got a new job, too.
Oh, yeah?
I'm going to be a gardener for the lady next door to my other job.
I could use a little work myself.
Tell me your secret.
I fell into the lady's bed.
Come on, knock it off, will you?
Get your minds out of the gutter.
You had an accident and fell in the lady's flower bed.
Oh, yeah, right.
My boy don't think that way.
Take another look, Ron.
Remember, boys will be boys.
Thank you all very much for joining us.
In a few minutes, our esteemed guests will be ready to sign your books.

Terrific, really terrific.

Mary, it was great.
I may have mentioned Joel to you, Mary, David's old college friend.
David's former college friend, if you don't mind.
Anyway, Mary Horton, Joel Shore.
Hello.
How do you do?
Your program was nicely done.
Thank you.
As a matter of fact, I do freelance consulting for event packaging.
So if you're interested, there may be some ways of making these evenings of yours even more successful than they already are.
We're going for a drink.
Why don't you join us?
Take advantage of some free advice?
Sounds great, but I really should stay here.
Maybe another time?
Absolutely.
Another time.
Nice having met you.
Joel.
You didn't even give him a chance.
He could have been Mr. Right.
He could only have been Mr. Right now.
Dale, there's no such thing as Mr. Right.
Right.
Do your best.
Always.
Thanks, Dad.
Son.
Remember, be a gentleman.
So you know how to prepare a plot for planting?
I know how to do that, that's for sure.
Okay, well, everything you'll need is here.
I made a planting plan.
It shows where I want all of the various crops to be.
For example, the shelling peas go there and the snap peas go over here and so on and so on.
Does that make sense to you?
I've planted vegetables lots of times.
Okay, well, let me know if you need anything.
Okay.
Excuse me.
I didn't knock on the door because there isn't any, but I said excuse me.
So you're finished then?
Easy as pie.
Well, now I know there's at least one other person on the planet who can read my writing.
I didn't need the plan.
But I asked you to use the plan for a reason.
I like to rotate my crops.
I did.
I rotated them.
How could you have without the plan?
I can tell where you planted things last year by the old leaves and vines on the ground.
That's certainly a special gift, but do you by any chance wear glasses?
No.
Tim, can you read?
Are you going to have to let me go?
The thing is, I may not always be here when you come to garden.
In fact, I'm going away in a few weeks.
I'd hoped I'd be able to leave you instructions.
You give me such a headache.
How did you do that?
He's the choir master.
When you stop him from singing, they all stop.
How did you know where to find him?
His voice is different.
I can hear him.
I can't.
I can't really read.
Have you ever tried to learn?
Once.
It's real hard.
You don't want to get rid of him, do you?
No.
He just does what he's made to do.
I own a bookstore.
I bet you a nickel I could pick out some stories you'd like.
Probably.
Or I could teach you how to read.
No.
Why?
Well, it would be bad if I...
If what?
If it were hard or if it took time?
If I couldn't do it, that'd feel bad.
Well, and I don't know absolutely that I could teach you,
but still, we could try.
Thank you, Mary Horton, that's for sure.
And you like me too.

In an era of environmental consciousness,
the choice of today's generation is as clear as the water that created it.
Hydro heating, clean, convenient, economical.
Thanks, Hannah.
As you probably know, my taste is country.
Everything from country music to country baked bread.
Country baked started out in my hometown around 100 years ago.
Now this fine bread is not only baked right here in Tassie,
it's also got the best taste by a country mile.
You never put clean oil into a dirty engine.
Flush it with this before you drain the old oil.
It removes performance-robbing engine sludge,
which improves engine performance and life.
Right, boy? When it's wins, it works.
It's generally pretty quiet around here.
Not a lot happens, but when it does,
you've got to know who you can trust.
You know, Les is right. It is all about trust.

Frog ran up the path
to Toad's house.
He can knocked...
The K is silent.
She's just keeping the N company while he does the talking.
So it's...
He knocked on the front door.
That's it. There was no answer.
Toad toad shouted frog.
Wake up.
It is spring.
Blah, said a voice from inside the house.
Read that part again.
Blah, said a voice from inside the house.
All right.
Your homework is to work on this story
until you can read the whole thing just as beautifully as you read this part.
Okay.
Did I tell you I'm keeping our lessons a secret?
I'm not telling mom or dad.
I mean, I'm especially not telling Justine.
Really? Who's Justine?
Oh, there you are.
I brought back the magazines I borrowed.
I was just on my way in.
You remember Tim?
I...
I'll be in the house if you need me.
Okay.
Ah, giving a party I'm not invited to.
It's mother's china.
So it is.
I take it down every so often and wash it.
You should use it, not clean it.
Well, I did use it.
But then one day not long after Brian died,
I dropped a cup and it broke into about a million pieces.
And so did I.
Now, one little cup made me feel like I lost my mother and Brian all over again.
Stay and keep me company?
I'll dry if you trust me.
So, he's the new gardener?
When we fixed the damage he did so well, I decided to hire him.
You don't mind, do you?
Not at all.
I was just wondering if the picnic lunch was part of his contract.
It wasn't lunch.
It was a snack.
A snack.
He brings his lunch.
His mother makes it.
Oh, I get it.
The lunch isn't part of the contract,
but the blanket and lying in the grass.
You know, I would imagine that living in the clouds would get to you after a while.
Hasn't yet.
He is stunning though, isn't he?
He has a mild impairment.
I discovered he couldn't read well enough to follow the written instructions I left him,
so I decided to work with him on it.
Even so, it could fall into the category of a stray cat rescue.
I didn't find out he had the problem until after I hired him.
He was so thrilled to have the work, I couldn't bring myself to disappoint him.
Okay, I admit, I have a mushy heart.
Except when it comes to getting fixed up.
Dale, I had one magical, truly wonderful relationship.
That's more than some people ever get, you know.
I do.
And I like my life, and I like working, and I like rescuing cats,
and I even like having nosy neighbors as friends.
And I admit, he's painfully attractive, and very sweet, and really very pleasant to be with.
But I'm not interested in another relationship, Dale.
Sorry.
Whoa!
Let's have a little drink to our kids, shall we?
You know, I'm not much of a champagne man.
How would you rate that one?
I believe that's a wedding vintage.
I told the guy in the store, I said, these folks are used to the best.
What's the matter?
Oh, nothing.
Huh?
I just thought we should wait for Tim.
Well, if we do, we're going to have flat champagne and a cold dinner.
Tim's got two jobs now. We never know when we're going to see him.
Gardening is the job he loves. He takes after Ron that way.
And even though he's only hired for Saturday, he goes over every day and checks things out.
All he ever talks about is what's growing, what's blooming.
And Mary?
His boss, the old lady gardener type.
Well, here's to Justine and Stephen.
Here, here.
May the wedding go off without a hitch.
Except this.
Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad.
Mary brought me home because we have a surprise for you.
Oh, Mary. I'm Esther. I'm Tim's mother.
Hello. We didn't realize you had company. Maybe we should do this another time.
No, no, no. Mary, this is John and Beth Willis.
Hello.
And this here is their boy, Stephen, about to be the groom.
Nice to meet you.
And this is Tim's sister, Justine, about to be the bride.
Congratulations.
There you go, Mary.
Demi, this is Stephen's parents.
Hi.
Hello.
Don't you want to hear the surprise?
Of course we do, dear.
Sure we do, son.
Frog walked into the house.
It was dark.
All the shutters were closed.
Toad, where are you, called Frog?
Go away, said the voice from a corner of the room.
Toad was lying in bed.
He had pulled all the covers over his head.
Frog pushed Toad out of bed.
Jim, that's wonderful.
You did that?
Actually, Tim did it.
His teachers could never do that.
Let's have a drink to Mary and Tim.
And don't forget Frog and Toad.
Yeah, right then, Frog and Toad and Mary and Tim.
I'll just go fill this up again.
Let me help.
What can I do?
Nothing.
It's lovely that Tim is learning to read.
Oh, he's a fine young man.
Yes, he seems that way.
And so sensitive.
Yes, he is.
Makes me wonder the way this wedding affair has mushroomed so.
I wonder how comfortable it'll be for Tim.
Well, Justine wouldn't dream of getting married without her brother there.
And I believe Stephen has chosen him for one of the groomsmen.
I didn't mean the ceremony.
I was thinking about the reception.
Oh, he's very familiar with the social hall at the church.
And as long as we keep it to family and close friends the way the kids want,
don't tell me John's secretary didn't call you.
I don't know why he doesn't just fire this woman.
She does this all the time.
We booked the park pavilion for the reception.
There are so many of John's business associates that we just can't get enough.
I don't know.
Leave out.
Tim knocked his glass over.
Oh, is he okay?
Yes, he's fine.
You know, I couldn't help overhearing what you were saying.
And I don't know if Tim told you, but I have a beach house where I spend the weekends.
It has a guest room.
Actually, I was thinking of asking Tim to do some work for me there.
Maybe after the wedding Tim could forego the disturbance of the reception
and come out to the beach with me.
Tim's right.
You are very nice.

It starts with a rush.
A tingling sensation.
And how long does this...
It's happening.
Show me.
Body temperature's falling.
98, 97, 96.
It's cold.
It feels so pure.
I think we've got something here.
There.
You have a twin?
A brother?
John?
I'm sorry.

Most people will experience depression at some time during their lives.
Often the overwhelming feelings of despair, sadness and grief
follow a traumatic experience.
But depression in varying degrees can also appear for no apparent reason.
The type of treatment depends on the type and severity of the depression.
But be assured that help is available.
If you or a member of your family is experiencing any form of depression,
contact your local doctor, lifeline or your local community health centre.

That Ferrari won't zeroes in on any hot issue like a heat seeking missile.
Andy Hughes, State Coroner, 9.30 Thursday on Wynton Television.
Hi. Congratulations brother of a bride. Thanks.
She looked beautiful. You look very handsome. Thanks.
We're awfully grateful to you. Oh it's my pleasure.
Be a good boy now.
I don't think Justine likes you. Why not?
She says you're too young.
I'm ready. Okay give me a minute.
Okay ready. No you're not. You have to put on your bathing suit.
Well I'm not going to go swimming. Yes you are.
I come here almost every weekend. I never swim. But I want you to.
I'll watch you. I don't want you to watch me. I want you to swim with me.
Besides it's silly to live at the ocean and not go in the water.
You should go in the water. Please marry Mary Horton.
It won't be any fun without you.
It's okay. Why don't you try the water? You come too.
I will. Now. I'll catch up to you.
Come on.
See you're having fun.
Do you ever love someone so much that you left your mom and dad and brothers and sisters and went to live in another place?
Well I don't have any brothers and sisters and my father passed away when I was a little girl.
But I loved someone once and moved away from my mother and lived someplace else with him.
A husband? Same as Justine.
Stephen's parents didn't want me at the party.
No they didn't. I'm slow so sometimes people don't want me around.
I can tell you want me around. And it's not just because you're lonely.
See I think you don't like that many people. At least not as much as you like cats and dogs.
But when I'm around I can tell right away you feel happy. That's for sure.
You better go in now. Just five more minutes.
Doesn't look like anyone's home. Mom's home. She rests in the afternoon.
Mom. We're home.
Mom.
Mom's resting.
But she must have been really sleepy to rest on the floor.
Tim your mother is sick. You stay with her I'm going to call for help.
Mom. Mom.

Esther Burke Melville. We who have known and loved you. Return that part of you which is earth to the earth.
Thank you.
And that part of you which is spirit, consigned to God's loving and everlasting care, for it may find peace.
The Lord bless and keep you. The Lord make his face to shine upon you and give you peace.
Amen.
Will she be cold?
No. Her body doesn't feel anything now.
But she'll miss me. Won't she?
She won't feel any pain or sadness. But she'll always love you.
Come on, Timmy. It's time to be with the family. Thank you.
Come on.
Tim? Ron?
Hello?
Hello? Anybody home?
Hello?
You two need to change your scenery.
You know, given the choice between your beach house and Bali, I would have gone for Bali.
The trip's postponed, Dale. It's not canceled.
Now, these need a good soak every three days or so, depending on the weather.
How's Tim?
I'm not sure it's real for him yet. It's his father who's having a hard time.
Mary, do you think you've gotten into this thing over your head?
Maybe. But I don't think so.
I feel like what I'm doing is a good thing, and I'm just taking it one step at a time.
Well, watch your step.
You should walk as much as possible. It helps.
All I want is to be where she is.
That's how my mother felt after my father died. She said it over and over.
All she wanted was to be with him.
She just wanted him, and I just wanted her.
Well, ever in a million years, I thought she'd go before me.
I was the one taking all the pills.
We used to talk about how Tim and her had managed after I was gone.
You and Tim will be fine.
It won't hurt this much forever. I promise.
I'll go get him.
Tim, speak to me.
You're always touching my dad. I don't want you touching him.
He's sad, Tim. I'm comforting him.
I'm sad, too.
I know you are.
You don't comfort me.
Why don't you comfort me, Mary?
Mary?
Neil?
We're here, Ron. Tim's with me.
We have to talk about what just happened privately.
Just the two of us.
We have to go back to the house now.
Tim, please.
I'm sorry.
I came here to save you.
They don't come any closer than that.
Dr. Jones, yes?
I'm sorry.
Nazis. I hate these guys.

Good morning.
Oh, morning.
I made some coffee.
I'm glad.
Oh, I made a...
I made a long-distance call this morning.
With my lawyer.
Something I had to discuss with him and...
It involves you.
See, me and Esther save for Tim for after we're gone enough
to put him in a group home.
It's not a bad place.
No.
And there'll be others like him there for companionship and...
But they say the happiest ones have family that visit
and, you know, look after how they're doing and help manage and...
That sounds right.
So, last night it came to me to...
To ask if you'd be Tim's family after I'm gone.
To be his legal guardian.
What about Justine?
Me and Esther agreed.
Tim would be out of place with her and Stephen and the high-powered careers
and a lot of little kids running around and...
Oh, look, you can tell me I'm way out of line for this.
I couldn't talk it over with Esther like I'm used to doing.
Oh.
Is this a...
You've got a way with him.
OK, talk.
Last night, when I comforted you,
we started hugging each other in a different way.
And then we kissed.
The first part, when I put my arms around you,
that was comforting.
The next part, when we kissed,
when we kissed each other,
that was something else.
I know that, Mary.
That's something married people do,
hold and kiss each other that way.
Justine and Stephen did it when they weren't married.
Well, they were planning to be married.
Tim...
We're friends,
and I want us to be friends forever.
But we can't be friends unless we promise each other
never to do what we did last night again.
Why?
Because it changes things I don't want changed.
OK?
OK.
Wow!
You know, your dad and I have been discussing your future.
He's concerned because he's not so young anymore,
and he wants to prepare for the time
when he goes to be with your mom.
You mean when he dies?
Yes.
It's already been arranged.
I'm going to live with Stephen and Justine
and whatever kids I have by then.
Your dad mentioned to me
he thought you'd be happier with some other arrangement.
He found a place.
It's a converted house, actually.
A center where people...
where you could live and have friends.
He asked me if I would become
what is called your legal guardian.
It's someone who would visit you
and help you whenever you needed it.
I went to see the place last week.
If you lived there, you could have your own life,
and I would be available whenever you needed me.
Would you know when I needed you?
Or would I have to tell you?
Whoop. You okay?
I'm fine. Just that every time I wear this shirt,
I get a spot on it.
Here.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Do you feel the difference between stew and mush?
No. Do you?
Well, if your father and sister get here in two minutes,
we'll be having stew for dinner.
Then much later, we'll be having mush.
Smells good.
You're early, Dad. In two minutes, we're having mush.
What's cooking?
Or should I say who's cooking?
Technically, I'm cooking, but the truth is
without Tim's gardening talents,
we'd all be drinking broth for dinner.
No. The truth is, I grew the vegetables,
and I'm sure she's right. That's for sure.
And there's magic in the way she's stirring them.
Magic in my stirring? How about that?
Excuse me.
What's going on?
Isn't this Mary Horton has in my mother's kitchen
wearing my mother's apron?
She's cooking vegetables. She and Tim grew together.
What's the matter with you?
Mary's been a godsend to this family since you were little.
I would really like to know just what goes on at the beach house.
Justine, what's gotten into you?
That woman in there's been like an angel of mercy
to me and your brother.
As far as I'm concerned, she's like a member of this family.
She may be like one, but the truth of the matter is,
she isn't one, and unless you're thinking about adopting her,
I'd like her to get the hell out of my mother's apron.
What are you talking about?
Excuse me. Dinner's ready.
Oh. Yeah.
Well, Tim, just give us a few minutes, will you?
I've drawn up papers to make her Tim's legal guardian
after I'm gone.
What?
I've thought this through, Justine.
She's got no kids of her own.
She's free to give him all the attention he needs,
and like as not, she'll leave him some security when she passes on.
Dad, have you lost your mind? I'm his sister.
Yes, and you're married now,
and soon you'll have children of your own.
Not soon. Stephen and I have discussed that.
You will have a family of your own.
Honey, I know you love your brother, and he loves you,
but believe me, with a career and Stephen and children,
it just wouldn't work.
You've got to look at the big picture, Justine.
Dad, why don't you look at the big picture?
What does that mean?
Come with me.
Mary said we could eat because Miss Manners says
after two people are seated, you can start eating.
Gee, I'd have never guessed that Mary even knew Miss Manners.
But since we're talking about acceptable behavior,
why don't we bring my father into the 20th century
and explain to him what your relationship with my brother is all about?
Justine, that's enough. I'd be happy to.
My relationship with your brother is all about friendship.
All right. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
I suppose there is a remote possibility
that you actually don't see it yourself.
You're attracted to my brother whether you're willing to admit it or not.
Justine, this is uncalled for. I think it's time for me to go.
I don't want you to go. You know, Justine,
you're not the only girl that likes me. I know that, Timmy.
And I want you to call me Tim.
You don't call Stephen Stevie. Timmy, Tim, I'm trying to protect you.
Because you think I'm a freak. I do not.
Is that what Mary tells you your family thinks?
I never have and never would in my entire life say such a thing.
I'm sorry my friendship with your brother is so difficult for you.
I respect how much you care for him.
You have no idea about my feelings for my brother
any more than you know anything about me.
But maybe you should.
Maybe you should know that all of my life
I've done everything double.
Once for me and once for Tim because he couldn't.
And I've done it better than perfect
so there would be so much accomplishment
and so much recognition that it would spill over onto him
and he could shine too.
And it worked.
Every time I did something good you could see how it built him up.
But now I'm built, Justine.
Just like you are.
And I don't want to live in a center when Dad is gone.
And I don't want to live with you either.
It's not what I want.
I was going to ask you but I don't have a ring
and I know I'm supposed to.
I want to be Mary's husband and live with her in her house.

Did you file the Liberty shipment packing list?
Probably one.
There was an item missing. I need to follow up on it.
Oh no, you know, they shipped it. I shelved it and sold it a week ago.
Sorry, I guess I'm not up to speed.
On contrary, it looks to me like you're in overdrive.
Oh, your travel agent called a few minutes ago.
Couldn't he get me on a flight?
I know. He called to ask me if you're all right.
And he said if you are, he's going to kill you.
I realize you've been holding this place together on your own lately, Fordsy.
I appreciate it.
I know that.
I've, um...
I've gotten myself into a situation that started out simple...
and ended up not simple.
It needs a cooling off period.
That's why I'm trying to get away.
You don't need to worry about anything here.
After 15 years, I pretty much have the drill down cold.
There is however one thing you might consider.
There's a possibility that you will finally get to Ballet
and find out that what you're running from has come along for the ride.
You gonna eat anything?
I'm not hungry.
Well, I know I don't cook like your mom, but...
still food.
I'm not hungry.
Still food.
Have you been to bed with Mary?
Have you kissed her?
Made love to her?
We kissed each other once.
She made me promise never to do it again.
But you didn't?
I kept my promise.
You taught me to keep a promise.
Even though it hurt your pride,
she was right to stop you from doing that again.
No, she wasn't.
She liked kissing me, I could tell.
That may be true, but she knows something you don't.
And that is that what you take for true love
is really just...
a crush you have on her.
I want to marry her.
I know that's what you think you want.
Your body wants a woman, Tim. That's different.
My body wants Mary.
I know it's smart, son, but...
believe me, it'll pass.
You know what I'm gonna do?
I'm going to enroll you in a social program at the center.
Then you'll see.
There'll be other women there that are more...
suitable for you.
Then who knows, maybe you'll find one that's just right.
Tell me something, Dad.
Were you ever slow?
So then that means you're not me.
And that means you don't know how I feel.
Not exactly.
I don't want somebody suitable.
And I don't want somebody just right.
I don't want somebody at all.
I want Mary.
And if you're ever interested in how I feel instead of how you feel...
then I'll tell you why I want her.
I'm sorry.
I sure wish Mom was here, don't you?
If you like historical fiction, you'll love this.
Thanks.
I'm going away for a while to make things easier for both of us.
You didn't answer my question last night.
We can't marry each other, Tim.
Why not?
Well, for one thing, there's the difference in our ages.
I mean, when I'm an old woman, you'll still be young.
Then I can take care of you, Mary.
And a good marriage is based on similarities...
so that people who marry each other are alike...
and they enjoy the same things.
We like to garden.
We like to swim together.
We like to read to each other.
I can't marry you, Tim.
Because I'm slow.
You love me, Mary, that's for sure.
That's for sure.
Then why?
I'll drive you home.

What is it?
I'll get back.
Words out, so maybe you should call.
This is the Garden Centre and A1 Fruit Market.
Is that all you have to say?
I haven't lived this long by giving advice.
I'll miss you, Tim.
That's for sure.
You think you know how much you'll miss me,
but you don't.
Because missing someone happens when you don't expect it.
And you feel like the ground is gone and you're falling
and there's nothing to hold on to.
Isn't that how it feels when you miss your mom and your husband?
That's how it's going to feel about me too.
What are you still doing here?
It's after 9 o'clock.
At the moment I'm trying to find a sale that I lost.
But I am willing to admit that only a minute ago
I was locked in a torrid embrace.
It's good you should read it.
Did you come to keep me company?
I came to look for a book on relationships.
That would be psychology two aisles down on your left.
Tell me, Forbesie, when you think about your life,
I mean, your life up till now, do you have regrets?
Is this a near-death experience?
I mean, are you the one that's going to take me through my life in review?
No.
I just want to know.
Sure.
I wish that I had let my gut navigate my life's journey
more than all the shoulds I heard from everyone around me.
And where do you think your gut would have taken you that the shoulds didn't?
Into some wonderful trouble, I imagine.
The truth is that all my life I had damn good reasons
why not to do this and why not to do that.
And now all I can remember are the things that I didn't do.
Has it ever occurred to you that all of these tomes, all these pages,
all these words are nothing more than the ongoing age-old attempt
to figure it all out?
It has occurred to me.
And have you ever realized that nobody has yet?
And if they ever do, we'll be out of business.
So, by logical progression, it seems to me that the only thing to do in this life
is to write your own book, make it up as you go along.
Hey, I haven't finished reading that.
I have something I want to say.
Would you like to sit down?
No.
Mostly I listen to my dad all my life because he's a man.
My mom didn't say very much, but she was very nice and very good.
She seemed that way to me.
And she told me something about married people.
Maybe she thought I would be married someday.
And it was different than what you said.
She said the reason she and dad stayed together so long
wasn't because they liked the same things.
Tim, I don't know what you're talking about.
She said they were good together because of how they worked out
the things about each other that were different,
especially if they were really different.
Like my dad bowls and my mom hated bowling like that.
Did she tell you how they worked out their differences?
She was patient.
And she said my dad didn't mind it so much when people had different ideas.
Dad gave me advice, but my mom knew how I felt.
I know I'm slow, Mary.
But I'm not stupid, and I'm not a child.
Mary, I'm not taking no for an answer.
You don't have to.
My answer is yes.

and is delivered to over 90,000 homes and businesses,

are being sold through the star.

I'm sorry, but this is kind of a shock to me.
Tim told me he was serious, but I had no idea.
How come you married Mom?
Because he loved her.
Can we please try to figure out what we're going to do about this?
What did you love about her?
For crying out loud, Tim.
You know what, Justine?
What?
There are things about Steven that I don't like.
Tim.
And I don't like his parents either.
And there are even things about you that I don't like, but that's okay.
Because mostly, I love you.
I fell in love with your Mom because she was gentle and good
and because she loved me.
That's why I love Mary.
We understand that, Tim.
But the question is, and I'm trying as hard as I can not to be insulting,
why does Mary love you?
Ask Mary.
You're young, Justine, so I'm not certain you'll understand this.
I've only just begun to understand it myself.
But the needs of companionship change when you get older.
I loved one man for a very long time, and he loved me.
And after he died, I didn't want to love anyone anymore or be loved by anyone.
But when Tim started loving me, I realized how much I wanted
not just a man or a relationship, but a kind of love I'd given up all hope of ever finding.
I love Tim because he's Tim.
It's different having a kid like Tim.
The rest of us, we give our hearts away a few times and get them punched out
and build up walls for protection.
But with Tim, there's a part that's always a kid, open and trusting.
I guess it just scares us to see how easy it is for Tim when he lets himself love.
Mr. and Mrs. Tim Melville.
Do I look like a bride?
You look beautiful.
Bet you never thought Tim would be my type.
Listen, dear, after all the years I spent trying to put you in a pair, I'm delighted.
I think you didn't even have a type.
What do you think Mother would say about all this?
Oh, I know exactly what she'd say.
Mary dear, have you given any thought to taking the cats out of your bedroom?
Hi. Hi.
Justine, this is my friend Dale.
This is Tim's sister Justine.
Holler if you need me.
Open it.
It's not a bomb or anything.
The apron my mom always wore was one that Tim gave her.
I gave her this one, but she never wore it.
Not even once.
I thought maybe you might.
I will.
Thank you.
I'm not crazy about Steven's parents either.
You know, when the time comes, Tim and I would be very happy to babysit.
Wish me luck.
It looks like we're about ready to start, so if we can all quiet down.
I understand the groom has a short reading for us.
It's a passage he's chosen from a favorite book of his, especially for this occasion.
Toad blinked in the bright sun.
Help, said Toad. I cannot see anything.
Don't be silly, said Frog.
What you see is the clear warm light of April.
And it means that we can begin a whole new year together, Toad.
Think of it, said Frog.
We will skip through the meadow and run through the woods and swim in the river.
In the evenings, we will sit right here on this front porch and count the stars.
And on that note, dearly beloved, we are gathered together here in the presence of God,
to witness and celebrate joining in marriage this man and this woman.
The union of husband and wife in heart, body and mind is intended by God for their mutual joy,
with a help and comfort given one another, prosperity and happiness.
