Charly

- I always believed that love

was fairly uncomplicated.

You found the perfect woman.

Gorgeous but practical.

You married, settled down with children,

minivan, mortgage, and lived quietly,

predictably, happily ever after.

That was my dream until she came into my life.

- Her name is Charlene, she's an art student.

No way.

- Yeah, she's moving here from New York.

Her grandmother's setting up an art school

or something and needs help.

No way.

The last time you tried to set me up---

Did I ask you to take her out?

No.

I just asked you to pick her up from the airport

and show her the sights in Salt Lake

on the way to her parents house.

Then dinner if she's hungry.

- Sounds like a date to me.

It's not a vacation.

She just wants to see the sights.

So send mom.

- Her father seems to think you two might hit it off.

Her father?

My new regional manager.

Oh, the plot thickens.

- Look, all I want you to do is pick her up,

show her the sights, take her home.

Simple, easy.

- Okay, well then I'll take her to Temple square

and buy her a milkshake.

- Oh you can do better than that.

It's only one night.

Please?

As a favor to me.

Clubsy?

Welfare?

Deal.

- 70 bucks and the Mustang.

I was on a roll.

One quick lap around town, a light dinner,

home by 8:30 and I'm 50 bucks richer.

I was smooth, confident, in control.

Well, mostly.

Besides, it was one night.

What could possibly happen in one night?

Mark.

So marry me.

How romantic.

Too late.

- Ugh, I wanna be married to you.

- And you know what that means?

Two people with matching rings

spending time together.

What more could you want?

- I'll let you know when I find it.

- Come back to New York

and we could do this like you wanted to.

Why the rush now?

I'm here, I might as well see what Salt Lake has to offer.

- Come on Charly, quit with the games.

Who's playing?

You're a little upset.

You play games when you're upset.

Just tell your dad you're getting back on the plane--

Dad's not coming to get me.

Who is?

I don't know, dad arranged it.

Jealous?

Of what?

Some Mormon guy?

- How do you know he's Mormon?

You're in Utah.

The state that buys more wedding

and birth announcements per capita

than any other state in the civilized word.

Trust me, he's a straight laced button down bore.

- Last call for flight 160.

Hello?

Charly are you listening?

- Believe me Mark, you have nothing to worry about.

- Please do not accept any items

from strangers.

Report all unattended bags to airport police

or airline representatives.

That's me.

On the sign.

I'm Utah, welcome to Sam.

Nice to meet you Utah.

Sam's a beautiful place.

I take it you're my ride home?

Sorry, yeah.

Sam Roberts.

Can I help you with that?

No thanks, got it.

You work for my father?

- No actually I'm a student like you.

You're an art major?

Computer information--

Perfect.

Did my father tell you why he wanted

you to pick me up?

- Actually I've never met your father.

- I'm practically engaged but daddy

doesn't like my choice of men so he looks

for fine upstanding young men,

like yourself, to lure me away.

You know what?

It's working.

Coming Utah?

Excuse me, excuse me.

You're engaged?

- He's asked but I haven't said yes.

Why, are you interested?

Don't you think you ought to get that?

- Sorry, it's to remind me not to be late.

- Okay Utah, let's get this over with shall we?

- Look, if you don't wanna go out I'm--

And disappoint daddy?

Not a chance.

What's the plan?

Why don't you decide.

Got all the local historical sites and points of--

Amy, Anna, Barbara, Tessa.

Well Utah, is that your little black book?

- How about this is the Place Monument?

Not much there?

Hogle Zoo then?

I'm allergic.

What do those little check marks mean?

- There's Trolley Square, it used to be a Trolley station

and now it's a huge shopping mall.

Fascinating.

Oh oh oh, yours?

My fathers.

- Do you have a rating system or is it

just survival of the fittest with you?

- There's always Kennecott Copper Mine.

The largest open strip mine in the world.

Wow, hate to pass that up.

A fun filled evening with you at the local strip mine.

Somehow Utah, you don't seem the type.

- What'd you put in these things?

Hey, what are you doing?!

Come on Utah!

Are you crazy?

Slow down, I wanna be able to borrow this car again!

It's for fun Sam!

Sounds like you need a life!

You cannot drive like this in Manhattan.

- You're not supposed to drive like this in Utah Charlene.

Charly, call me Charly.

I don't think this is such a good idea Charly!

- Relax Utah, if you can drive in New York

you can drive anywhere!

Of course I can't drive in New York anymore.

Does this radio work?

Don't touch that!

Watch the road!

Hey, did you see that?

What?

Hey!

Look at that!

Come on Sam!

It's beautiful!

- Tickets for the Ferris wheel please.

How many?

We will take whatever you got.

Thank you!

Next please.

Welcome aboard.

What's your name?

Rafferty ma'am.

- Mr. Rafferty, I'd like you to meet my fiance.

He's just proposed and you are the first one we've told.

Actually we've just met.

Congratulations kids.

Why thank you.

Sam and I would like to ride your Ferris wheel

for a long, long, time.

You understand?

I'm not that old.

Hang on.

Do you do that often?

What?

Lie to complete strangers?

No.

I lie to people I know too.
