Birth

Okay... Let me say this.

Let me say this.

If I lost my wife and, uh,

the next day, a little bird landed on my windowsill,

looked me right in the eye and in plain English said,

"Sean, it's me, Anna. I'm back,"...

What could I say?

I guess I'd believe her. Or I'd want to.

I'd be stuck with a bird.

But other than that, no. I'm a man of science.

I just don't believe that mumbo-jumbo.

Now, that's gonna have to be the last question.

I need to go running before I head home.

Okay.

Oh. Excuse me.

I forgot the ribbon.

Come on. I don't want to go up alone.

I'll be a minute.

Hi, I...

I met Anna at a party.

And I called her to see if she'd go out with me, but she said no.

But I kept calling.

It took one year to get her to have dinner with me.

A year after that, I asked her to marry me.

She said no.

A year later, I asked her again and she still said no.

Two weeks ago...

She said "maybe."

Tonight I stand before you with a "yes."

Hi.

How are you? Good.

I left, uh, the ribbon in the car.

I'll be up in a minute.

Hi.

Congratulations. Oh, thanks.

Would you like me to wrap it?

Make it look pretty.

Anna.

Clifford.

It's been a long time.

This is a good thing. Congratulations.

Hi. Hi.

I'm Joseph.

This is... Clifford.

Congratulations. Nice speech.

I've heard a lot about you.

Clara's here. She forgot a ribbon.

Oh. For your present.

So I better go and wait for her.

Enjoy the festivities.

I will. We will.

Thank you.

I liked what you said.

Sean!

Hurry up!

One minute!

I'm coming!

Let's eat this thing.

Bob, would you carve?

Sure.

Are the Drummonds here? Where are the Drummonds?

They called. They said they're gonna be late.

That they'd be here for the cake.

Fine.

Anna's made a decision.

Oh.

You've picked a date?

The merry month of May. Fantastic.

Joe, congratulations. Thank you, Bob.

I wanted to tell her.

It's my wedding.

Can't I be excited?

May's a great month.

Nice and warm. Well done, Joseph.

Thank you.

Hi.

Are you coming to Eleanor's party?

No. I want to see Anna.

I used to take lessons and then I stopped.

I... I wish I hadn't.

We're gonna do the cake.

Sorry we're late.

In the dining room.

Thank you.

Here we are.

Can you get the knife for her?

Look at that.

No, I don't believe it. Nice work.

Make a wish, Eleanor.

Laura and Anna on each side of me.

Happy Birthday, mother.

Happy Birthday, mom.

I'm here to see Anna.

Who are you?

Who are you?

Let's go into the kitchen. I'll tell you there.

Are you gonna play a trick on me?

No.

Okay.

He wants to talk to me in private.

Could you believe that?

What do you want?

You.

You want me? Is that what you're saying?

You're my wife.

We're married?

You're telling me that we got married at some point in time?

Yes.

Well... I'm getting married to Joseph.

He's a little bit older than you.

We have a little bit more in common.

But if the timing was a little bit different,

who knows? Maybe.

You're a handsome little boy.

But I'm getting married to someone else.

It's me...

Sean.

You're telling me that you're Sean?

Yes.

Let's go.

You'll be making a big mistake if you marry Joseph.

Jimmy, do you know who this is?

Sean.

Does he live in the building?

No.

Then put him in a taxi and send him home.

Sure.

Do you know how to take the subway?

Yeah. You're not supposed to be here tonight.

Go home.

So?

He says he's Sean.

Sean.

Right.

His name was Sean.

No, really. Jimmy said downstairs.

He says he doesn't want me to marry Joseph.

He said I shouldn't marry you.

I'll pull the car around.

Okay.

Good morning.

Oh. What's this?

It was laying on my desk.

Your man is here.

Hey, Anna.

Hey, Peter.

It's a fantastic.

Are you trying to tell me that this little boy

is now urging you not to marry Joseph?

What's fantastic about it?

Well, I mean, how often does someone come along

claiming to be somebody who's dead?

And much less a little boy.

Why didn't you tell me?

I... I'm telling you now. I didn't want to upset you.

Well, who the hell is he?

Is he claiming to be... Sean, or is he just called Sean?

He said, "it's me, Sean." What am I supposed to think?

I suppose that that tells me that he's telling me he's Sean.

That he is your dead husband.

That he is... Oh, that he is what?

Could it be true?

Oh, please. God help me. Somebody.

This is Jimmy.

Watch the fort.

Why did you think it would upset me?

Has it?

Well, you didn't show it to me when you first got it, so...

I didn't open it until I got to work.

Weren't you curious?

I didn't know who it was from.

Anyway, don't be silly.

Do me up.

We're gonna be late.

I can understand why a little boy would be in love with you.

Let's stop talking about the little boy.

I want to go out with my fiancé.

Okay.

I love you.

Don't you think we should call Jimmy and find out who he is?

Christ. Let's just forget about it.

Aren't you interested?

No.

It's probably just some prank.

Hey, Jimmy. Uh, Joseph, 1001.

Listen, a little boy named Sean left a letter for Anna...

Jimmy's outside.

Who is this?

Sean.

I think your husband's downstairs.

Hey.

You're on your own?

My dad's upstairs.

Huh. Does your father live here?

No.

Can I talk to your father?

202.

My father's a tutor.

Yes, hi. I'm Joseph. I live upstairs.

Oh, sure. Hi. Hi, Sean.
