00:00It started off as the worst day of my life, but then there he was.
00:08It was love at first sight.
00:11His name was Daniel.
00:18When Lily and Emma were born, we fell in love all over again.
00:22We were overjoyed.
00:23They were fraternal twins, and they were as different as night and day.
00:30Valentine's Day was their favorite day of the whole year.
00:39Likes English, strengths strong.
00:41Yeah, but sometimes he smells.
00:43From the time they were little girls, they loved to play matchmaker.
00:48She'd be perfect.
00:50Everyone all matched up?
00:51Yes.
00:53Where's Lily and Emma?
00:56Huh?
00:57Who are you asking to the dance?
00:59We're not.
01:00It's way more fun matching other people up.
01:02My cute, funny girls.
01:04They were always trying to help someone fall in love and live happily ever after.
01:10But doesn't happily ever after only happen in fairy tales?
01:16I'm gonna miss you.
01:18I'm gonna miss you too.
01:20I don't want to go.
01:28You can't just let her go.
01:30Dad, you have to go after her.
01:32Bye.
01:50It's past midnight.
02:00I know.
02:02How many kids are there in your school?
02:06A lot, but most of them are matched up now.
02:10I'm giving them advice on how to ask their match to the dance.
02:14I try.
02:16You're kidding.
02:18I do this for a living, remember?
02:20Yeah, but what you do is pretty much statistics.
02:23A 40-year-old blond guy loves golfing, burritos, taking long walks on the beach,
02:27seeks a 30-year-old woman, pretty, blonde, weighing under 100 pounds.
02:31But what Lily and I do goes so much deeper.
02:33I mean, we pay attention to every minor detail.
02:37We know our clients' hearts and we make sure to treat them gently.
02:42Well, don't stay up too late.
02:44Good night.
02:48Good night.
02:54What about Emma's heart?
02:56If it happens, you'll be the first to know.
03:03Lily!
03:05Lily, wake up! We overslept!
03:10Sorry, honey.
03:13The alarm didn't go off.
03:15What day is today?
03:17Thursday.
03:19I've got to call your father.
03:26Voicemail. Typical.
03:33Mom?
03:35Whatever happened with you and Dad?
03:37I mean, you used to be so in love.
03:40I'm late, and you're going to be late for school.
03:43Parting is such sweet sorrow.
03:46Still upon thy eyes, peace in thy breasts.
03:57Were I to sleep in peace, so sweet to rest,
04:01hence will I to my ghostly father sell
04:07his help to crave and my dear half to tell.
04:11Thank you. Thank you, Lily.
04:14That was beautiful.
04:16Elliot, you've done better.
04:18Let's try this scene again,
04:21and this time I want you a little closer,
04:24and I want you to really feel it.
04:27I want to feel the emotion of this scene.
04:34If you get the part of Juliet, you can't be shy.
04:37If you get the part of Juliet, you can't be shy.
04:41I know.
04:45Good night, good night.
04:48Parting is such sweet sorrow
04:51that I shall say good night till it be morrow.
04:54Sleep dwell upon thy eyes, peace in thy breast.
04:59Were I to sleep in peace, so sweet to rest,
05:03hence will I to my ghostly father sell
05:07his help to crave and my dear half to tell.
05:15Wonderful, wonderful, thank you.
05:18Thank you, you may have a seat.
05:20Let's go back to the beginning of scene 9.
05:24Nice job, Lily.
05:25Looks like we're going to have some competition this year.
05:28Thanks, Megan.
05:29Did you know that Juliet was only 13 when she married Romeo?
05:33No, I didn't.
05:35And ew, it's so romantic.
05:38It's so illegal.
05:39I understand that the language of Shakespeare
05:42can be difficult to understand,
05:45but we have a rule in this class
05:49that we all stay awake.
05:51Barry, why don't you come up here and read with me?
05:58I'll be Juliet.
06:01Signor.
06:07We have an emergency.
06:09Another one?
06:11He jests at scars that never felt a wound,
06:15but soft what light through yonder window breaks.
06:20It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
06:26You think she'd go out with me?
06:31Of course she will, as long as you ask her out in the right way.
06:37Here, connect this to your phone and put the earbud in.
06:40I'll be on the other line and tell you exactly what to say.
06:43She's alone.
06:45Now's your chance.
06:50Tell her that her eyes are like sapphires.
06:53Your eyes are like sapphires.
06:55That's kind of sweet.
06:57See, he's getting it.
06:59And that if she'd let you take her to the movies Saturday night...
07:05Poop.
07:08Marvin?
07:09Hello, Marvin?
07:16Do you want to go to the movies Saturday night?
07:19Sure, pick me up at 6?
07:25My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself
07:29because it is an enemy to thee.
07:32Are thou not Romeo and a Montague?
07:36Thank you, Barry.
07:38I have another rule in my class,
07:40and that is that you remain in your seats for the entire class period.
07:46To the principal's office, please.
07:50Cutting class is never acceptable.
07:52But it was an emergency.
07:54For whatever reason, I called your parents.
07:56Why?
07:58How many times have you been in my office this year?
08:01Three?
08:02Twenty-five.
08:04How many times have you been in my office this year?
08:07Three?
08:08Twenty-five.
08:10Is that your lovely wife?
08:13She's really pretty.
08:15What's her favorite flower?
08:16I'm sure it's Narcissus.
08:18When was the last time you sent her flowers?
08:20She looks like the kind of woman who adores getting flowers.
08:23Wait outside my office.
08:25Your parents will be here soon.
08:33Yes?
08:34Miss Adams, please order me some flowers.
08:36What kind?
08:37Narcissus.
08:51It wasn't our fault.
08:52He wouldn't listen.
08:53I'll handle it.
08:55Mrs. Valentine.
08:58Miss.
08:59Come in, please.
09:06One down and one to go.
09:13Hi, Dad.
09:15She's already in there.
09:36Not there.
09:39So, why don't you tell me what was so important you had to cut class?
09:44So, why don't you tell me what was so important you had to cut class?
09:48You're not going to buy it anyway, so why bother?
09:51Try me.
09:52Well, this kid in school today was like,
09:54I really want to ask this girl out, but I don't know how,
09:56and I was like, oh, you should just...
09:57Okay, you're doing that on purpose to bug me.
09:59Start over.
10:00Try it again.
10:01This time in English.
10:02Okay, well, we're in drama class, and we got a text from Marvin.
10:06Hello?
10:07Yeah, I was thinking Peter would be perfect for you.
10:10I know he looks good, right?
10:12He lost like 55 pounds on some veggie sandwich diet.
10:15Yeah, okay, bye.
10:18Anyway, Marvin wanted to ask Rita out, but he's...
10:22Hello?
10:24Hey, Sophie.
10:25Yes, he's still available.
10:27Okay, bye.
10:29Hey, Dad, can we go riding after dinner?
10:31I can't.
10:32I really got to get this work done.
10:33It's important.
10:34Okay.
10:36So why couldn't you just wait and help Marvin out after school?
10:40Love won't wait, Mom.
10:41Did you know Juliet was only 13 when she married Romeo?
10:44She didn't wait.
10:45She went for it.
10:46She followed her heart.
10:47Yeah, and look what happened to her.
10:49Mrs. Porter, she's holding auditions for Romeo and Juliet,
10:52and I really want to be Juliet.
10:54But every time I audition for her, I get really tongue-tied.
10:57You would be a perfect Juliet.
11:00I think so.
11:05Hello?
11:08Yeah, I'm having a pool party at my house tomorrow after school.
11:11Everyone's invited.
11:13Okay, we'll finalize things then.
11:15Bye.
11:19Pool party?
11:21When were you going to ask me?
11:28You should be grounded for today's escapade.
11:31You know, Dad, I'm sorry.
11:35You still want to go riding?
11:41Yes.
11:47Well, sorry, lately I've been, uh...
11:49Grumpy, moody?
11:52Yeah, all that.
11:59So what would you think if I sold my business?
12:03I thought you loved what you did.
12:05I used to.
12:08I think that's what got your mom so upset.
12:11So wrapped up in it.
12:13Just a little.
12:16Well, I got a guy who's interested in buying it.
12:18He's supposed to call me in a couple of days.
12:21That'd be really cool.
12:24Think your mom would come back if I sold it?
12:27Maybe.
12:30Want to race?
12:32You're on.
12:52Oh, my gosh. Pharrell?
12:55Next.
12:57I don't want any more mzitz, smelly pits, or halitosis.
13:02You guys totally rock.
13:06I'm in heaven.
13:09Are you sure?
13:11He's so not who I had in mind.
13:13Trust us, he's perfect for you.
13:24Hello?
13:26No, I'm awake.
13:29Pink and purple?
13:31Yeah, I'll go great together.
13:33So you took care of n through z?
13:37Hello? I guess.
13:40You guess?
13:42I got it.
13:45Do you think mom and dad will get back together?
13:48I hope so.
13:50Do you think he still loves her?
13:54In his crazy, clueless, mix-up kind of way, yeah.
13:59I don't think she loves him anymore.
14:02I mean...
14:04So, how about you tell me which girl's gonna take me to the dance?
14:08Absolutely not.
14:10That would just spoil all the fun.
14:12You have to wait, just like everyone else.
14:14Okay, how about a hen?
14:17Okay.
14:19It's a girl.
14:21Leave me alone.
14:23Stay away from Rita.
14:25Nobody messes with my girl.
14:28Hey, leave him alone.
14:31Her what?
14:36Who's that?
14:40That's my cousin Connor.
14:42His family just moved here from Becky's.
14:44So he's new?
14:46I mean, like, he goes to school here?
14:48Yeah.
14:50Cool.
14:52So you're still making friends?
14:55So you're still making friends on the first date?
14:59He had it coming.
15:01That's when you start talking to pretty girls.
15:03You're funny, too.
15:05Connor, this is Lily, and this is...
15:07Emma.
15:09I'm Connor.
15:11It's nice meeting you both.
15:15Okay, we gotta go.
15:16Bye, ladies.
15:19Dad, dinner's ready.
15:23Emma.
15:25Hey, Dad, dinner's ready.
15:27I'll be upstairs in about an hour, okay?
15:29An hour? Are you kidding me?
15:31I'm sorry.
15:33I told you I was working late tonight, didn't I?
15:35Okay.
15:42Hey, Lil, can you come over?
15:46I promised Daddy I'd be the first to know,
15:48but Dad's not here, and you are,
15:51so I'm listening.
15:54Okay, you have to promise not to tell a single soul
15:57what I'm about to tell you.
15:58Okay, I promise.
16:00It finally happened, Lily.
16:02I'm in love.
16:03With who?
16:04I can't tell you.
16:05Well, not yet.
16:06I want to ask him to the dance first.
16:08I mean, it'd be just my luck if he hated my guts or something.
16:11So you called me all the way over here
16:13to tell me you're in love,
16:14which is probably the biggest thing
16:15that ever happened to you,
16:16and you won't even tell me who it is?
16:18I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
16:19Please don't be mad.
16:21Well, you know how they say twins share everything?
16:25I can't believe it.
16:26Both of us in love at the same time.
16:28I know.
16:29Now I know how Juliet felt.
16:32Emma, do you get a weird feeling inside
16:35when he looks at you?
16:36I mean, I don't know.
16:38Do you get a weird feeling inside when he looks at you?
16:40I mean, like you need to throw up,
16:42but you haven't eaten anything.
16:43That's romantic.
16:45But, yeah, I do.
16:48And when he smiles at you?
16:50Uh-huh.
16:52So it's agreed.
16:53As soon as they answer our invitation to dance,
16:55we'll tell each other who we're in love with.
16:57Agreed.
17:01I can order pizza, or we can go out to dinner.
17:05Yeah.
17:07Do you want to go out for pizza?
17:11Why don't you love Mom anymore?
17:14I mean, how do you just fall out of love?
17:19It's complicated.
17:22I'm listening.
17:25I didn't fall out of love.
17:28You still love her?
17:31Uh-huh.
17:33That's why it's complicated.
17:36Why don't you just tell her?
17:38So what is all this?
17:40No fair changing the subject.
17:42No fair asking too many questions.
17:45What are you doing with the Shrouder, young lady?
17:50It finally happened, Dad.
17:53I think I'm in love.
17:56That's why I made a nice dinner for us.
17:58I wanted to tell you.
18:01I'm sorry.
18:04Now I know how you and Mom felt.
18:07It's awful.
18:10That's not the word that comes to mind when I think of love.
18:13No, what I meant is, I help other people fall in love.
18:17I mean, this kind of stuff just doesn't happen to me.
18:20I don't know how to handle it.
18:24He plays ball?
18:27Uh-huh.
18:29This is lime.
18:31Oh, I think it's perfect.
18:34And I should know.
18:49I would just melt if you agreed to go to the dance with me.
18:54Done already?
18:56Sorry, I was in a hurry.
18:58School project.
19:00Uh-huh.
19:02Science.
19:04More like chemistry.
19:07Mom, I'm in love with a really cute guy.
19:11Mom, I'm in love with a really cute guy.
19:24Hey, looks like someone invited me to the dance.
19:29Don't.
19:31I want to text my mom and see if anyone dropped anything in the house.
19:35Please don't say anything.
19:37Please don't say anything.
19:41You hear that? There's nothing in there.
19:53No way, another one.
19:56Dude, I'm so jealous.
19:59Your heart is melting.
20:00Huh?
20:01I mean, it's really melting.
20:02Oh.
20:04Did he see you?
20:05No, but it was really close.
20:06Me too. There was a motion detector light and it popped on just as I was about to knock.
20:09How long before they answer?
20:10They're guys, Lily.
20:11It's going to be a while.
20:13So what now? You got two invites, one guy.
20:16You do the math.
20:19If it's another one, it's mine.
20:36Awesome.
20:41Ahem.
20:46Wow.
20:49Ethan said yes to Sarah.
20:51Alex said yes to Amanda.
20:53Jake has not responded to Sharon.
20:55My date said yes, of course.
20:57Piper's date hasn't answered and Ashley hasn't asked her date yet.
21:00Hey, call me tonight and I'll tell you a great way to ask.
21:03Thanks.
21:04What if our guys say no?
21:06They won't.
21:11So you're not going to tell me who asked you?
21:13No.
21:15Have you chosen who you're going to take to the dance?
21:17No.
21:18Well, do it fast so the other girl can ask someone else.
21:21You wouldn't want to break her heart.
21:24Did you girls get your dresses yet?
21:26I did. I'm waiting.
21:28Just in case they chicken out.
21:30If anyone gets the same dresses, me, I'll freak out.
21:32Did you buy your dresses yet?
21:34Come on, you are going to the dance, aren't you?
21:36Our mom's taking us tomorrow.
21:40I can't believe we're looking for dresses.
21:42I know.
21:46Oh my gosh.
21:50It's perfect for me.
21:54It's gorgeous.
21:55Why don't you try it on, though?
21:57That's okay. It was made for you.
21:59I like that yellow one over there.
22:01You sure?
22:07You're amazing.
22:11It's about time.
22:16Well, I answered.
22:19So, is it like a girl?
22:23Both.
22:24Yeah.
22:25Are you crazy? You answered yes to both of them.
22:27Why would you do that?
22:28I don't know.
22:29Well, who are they?
22:31Okay.
22:40Yes, he said yes.
22:43Hello?
22:44Emma, he said yes.
22:46When?
22:47I don't know. Just about a minute ago.
22:49Do you have anything?
22:51Not yet.
22:52Hold on. Let me go check again.
22:54Okay.
23:00There's nothing here.
23:02Lily, what if he doesn't answer?
23:04He will.
23:07What's on your face?
23:08You, uh, saving that for later?
23:11Funny.
23:13Why are you so sad?
23:15It's nothing.
23:17What's his name?
23:20Oh, what fools these mortals be.
23:23Someone left this near the gate. I think it's for you.
23:26Dad, are you kidding me?
23:30Yes!
23:32Yes, yes, yes, yes!
23:34I told you.
23:35I know. I'm so happy.
23:37It's like I'm seeing colors.
23:39Me too.
23:40So, tell me his name.
23:42You first.
23:44Oh, you.
23:45Okay, we'll say on the count of three.
23:47One.
23:48Two.
23:49Three.
23:50Connor Miller.
23:54Hey, Mom, can I go to Emma's house?
23:56Be back at eleven. Is Emma okay?
23:59Yeah, we just have a little mix-up we need to sort out.
24:01No big deal.
24:04Love you, Mom.
24:05Love you.
24:09They're exactly the same.
24:11This is not happening.
24:13What are we gonna do?
24:15We?
24:16There is no we.
24:18The girl who got their answer first should go to the dance.
24:20I got my answer first, so I'm gonna go.
24:23So, what you're saying is that the girl who got her answer from Connor first gets to go to the dance with him?
24:28Exactly. And that would be me.
24:30We'll see about that.
24:32Hey, Dad!
24:33Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad!
24:35Hey, girls.
24:37Okay, remember that package that came for me today?
24:39What time did you get it?
24:42I think the six o'clock news was coming on when I came through the door.
24:46Ah-ha!
24:47Ah-ha what?
24:48Try to focus. Dad put my answer in the kitchen at six o'clock.
24:51So, technically, I got my answer first.
24:53Even though I didn't know it when you called.
24:55Which was what time?
24:58Six forty-five.
24:59Problem solved.
25:00Thanks, Dad.
25:03Thanks a lot, Dad.
25:06You're the one who made up the rules.
25:09You're the one who made up the rules.
25:11You tricked me into it.
25:12Why don't you just ask Elliot out? He's the one that's totally in love with you.
25:15Little problem, Emma. I'm not in love with Elliot.
25:17I'm in love with Connor, and I'm going to the dance with him.
25:20In your dreams.
25:21In yours!
25:24No way.
25:25Emma.
25:28And Lily.
25:29Yeah.
25:31Lily?
25:34Yeah.
25:36So, have you figured out how you're going to take both of them to dance?
25:39I'm working on it.
25:54Can I sit here?
25:55I already am.
25:59Everything okay?
26:00No, not really.
26:06Hey, Lily.
26:10Can I sit here?
26:20You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.
26:24Why, thank you.
26:28Those eyes.
26:30I can just drown in those big blue eyes.
26:35Okay.
26:42Did you like the baseball?
26:45Yeah.
26:47I sleep with it under my pillow every night.
26:50Really?
26:52Hi.
26:54Your eyes.
26:56Your face.
26:59Your soul.
27:01It's like a work of art.
27:09The colors of your fingernails.
27:12They're so beautiful.
27:16You're welcome.
27:18The colors of your fingernails are so becoming.
27:25It's like love's brush just painted a canvas of beauty.
27:31Wow.
27:35Why do I feel like I'm the only one going crazy here?
27:39I don't know, why?
27:44Do you not see what you're doing?
27:47No.
27:49I've printed sides for you to audition with,
27:52and I have this clipboard you will need to sign if you're going to audition.
27:57I suggest you choose a partner to audition.
28:00It will be to your advantage to have a partner,
28:02and it will be to your advantage if you practice together often.
28:11Hey, do you want to be partners?
28:14He's not trying out.
28:17Okay, we can be partners.
28:20Cool.
28:24Weren't your fingernails purple before?
28:27Really?
28:34Be sure to sign your name to the audition sheet.
28:37I'll expect you to be on time for the audition.
28:41Four o'clock tomorrow, no second chances.
28:44You must be on time to be in my play.
28:48I have to be Juliet.
28:49Of course you do.
28:51I hope I get to be Romeo.
28:53You will.
28:55You're really good.
28:58Better than Connor?
29:01Lily, may I have a word?
29:03Sure.
29:05You have a natural talent, Lily.
29:07Thanks, I really love the play.
29:09I can tell.
29:11I don't usually do this, but...
29:14I want to tell you I've got my eye on you for Juliet.
29:18Really?
29:19I see bright things in your future.
29:22Thanks.
29:26I'll see you at the audition tomorrow.
29:28See you tomorrow.
29:36Lily, hey, wait up.
29:38Hey, do you want to run lights tonight?
29:46Your house or mine?
29:52I can't.
29:55Hey!
29:56You can have him back in a minute.
29:58What is going on, man?
30:01What are you talking about?
30:02You're playing both sisters.
30:06I can't help it.
30:09I'm in love with both of them.
30:17Hey, Ash.
30:18Hey, Lily.
30:19We're at Connor's.
30:20At the get-to-know-your-date-before-the-dance party that you and Emma organized.
30:23You and Elliot should totally come over.
30:25Elliot?
30:26You're tamed for the dance, silly.
30:28We'll be here till at least midnight.
30:29It's okay, I have other plans.
30:39If I can just reach up and grab one of those stars,
30:46I'd bring it down here and give it to you.
30:51And do that.
30:54Lily, I made a razzleberry pie.
30:56And there was this Cary Grant marathon on TV tonight.
31:00If you don't mind, I'm really tired.
31:02I mean, I have my audition tomorrow and I need to polish my lines.
31:05Have you been crying?
31:06No.
31:07I'm just really stressed.
31:08You know how blotchy I get when I'm stressed.
31:11I had a really nice time tonight.
31:13Me too.
31:18Let's wait.
31:21As you wish.
31:29Lily!
31:31Audrey?
31:33What's wrong?
31:34It's Lily.
31:35When she got home last night, it looked like she had been crying.
31:39Anything happen over there?
31:41She's a teenage girl.
31:42They cry all the time.
31:44Not Lily.
31:47No.
31:48She wasn't even here last night.
31:49Are you sure?
31:51I think I would know if my own daughter was at my house.
31:58Where were you?
31:59I'm right on time.
32:00Auditions were at four.
32:01I'm right on time.
32:02Auditions were at four.
32:03I mean, you've known that for weeks.
32:05No, I had a note on my fridge.
32:08Mrs. Porter.
32:09Let me see.
32:13She didn't have an emergency, did she?
32:16No.
32:20I see you got the part of Romeo.
32:23Maybe if you talk to Mrs. Porter, she'll let you play the nurse.
32:28I'll see you tomorrow.
32:32Hey, Megan.
32:35You got the part of Juliet?
32:38Juliet, cool.
32:39Juliet, cool.
32:43I can't believe I did that to Lily.
32:47I'm a complete jerk.
33:02Dad!
33:04Oh, Lily.
33:06How could you do that to your poor sister?
33:09Ask her what she did to me.
33:12What did you do?
33:14You started it.
33:16She drew all over my beautiful dress with a sharpie.
33:19Lily!
33:20Do you know how much that dress cost?
33:23I don't know.
33:24I don't know.
33:26I don't know.
33:27I don't know.
33:28I don't know.
33:29I don't know.
33:30Do you know how much that dress cost?
33:31I'll pay for it.
33:32She sabotaged my audition.
33:35Mrs. Porter...
33:36She didn't have an emergency.
33:39Oh, Emma.
33:41You know how much that role meant to your sister.
33:43How could you do that to her?
33:47It's about that boy, isn't it?
33:49We both love him.
33:51So we both asked him to the dance.
33:52And he said yes to both of us.
33:53Why would he do that?
33:54And he's flirting with both of us, too.
33:56But he likes me best.
33:57I don't think so.
33:58Did he tell you that when he looks into your eyes, time stops?
34:01No.
34:02But he said my freckles are like little angel kisses.
34:08What?
34:10Nothing.
34:13Daniel, tell them why this boy loves them both so much.
34:18What are you talking about?
34:20Why is he in love with both of us?
34:21Both of us.
34:28Because you have a special gift.
34:31Just like your dad does.
34:41Your dad is Cupid.
34:43Cupid?
34:47Like the guy in diapers who goes around shooting bows and arrows at people?
34:50Fine, just blurt it out.
34:52I thought we were going to wait for the perfect moment to tell them.
34:54Well, when is the perfect moment, Daniel?
34:56We were going to tell them when they were 13.
34:58Now they're almost going to college.
34:59When is the perfect moment?
35:01You see?
35:02This is how you operate, isn't it?
35:03Blame everything on good old Daniel.
35:05So you look like the good guy.
35:06Well, you know what?
35:07Take a good look in the mirror because you're the one that walked out.
35:09You're the one that split up this whole family.
35:11You know, good guys don't do that.
35:13No, good guys stick around and face the music.
35:16Like a man.
35:18Like a woman.
35:21Oh, yeah?
35:22Well, this woman is done.
35:25This woman wants a divorce!
35:34See how she gets?
35:37So, do you think Mom's really serious about wanting a divorce?
35:41You know how Mom gets when she's all work done.
35:43Especially about Dad.
35:45Yeah, you're right.
35:48We need to do something.
35:50Me? How?
35:52I don't know.
35:53Lock her in a room until she comes to her senses.
35:58I bet no one will notice if you put it up.
36:02I'm practically bald.
36:04Here, let me.
36:11Why does love have to be so complicated?
36:14Because that's what makes it exciting.
36:17Take Romeo and Juliet, for instance.
36:19If their families weren't feuding, their story would be boring.
36:22Romeo meets Juliet, they fall in love, get married, have kids, the end.
36:26What's wrong with that?
36:30Do you really think Dad is Cupid?
36:35Yeah.
36:43So, when I fell in love with your mother, that's when I crossed over.
36:48Became mortal.
36:50Did you use magic on Mom to make her fall in love with you?
36:53No, she said it was love at first sight.
36:59What about you?
37:01I became mortal, didn't I?
37:03So, you can't make people fall in love anymore?
37:06Apparently not.
37:09Do you miss being Cupid?
37:11Sometimes.
37:13It's a rush seeing people fall in love.
37:18We know.
37:22What about falling in love yourself?
37:24That's where it gets complicated.
37:28I used to think I was the expert on love.
37:34I guess not.
37:37Take your mother, for example.
37:40I gave her this house, everything, and it...
37:42Wasn't enough. It was never enough.
37:45Maybe she didn't want all this.
37:47Maybe all she wanted was you.
37:52Are you sad you're not Cupid anymore?
37:55No.
37:57I'd do it all over again to have a moment with her.
38:01If you still love her, why didn't you chase after her when she left?
38:04She still loves you, Dad.
38:06Then she needs to tell me that.
38:08If she's the one that left...
38:14Emma or Lily?
38:17I don't know. I've already told you that.
38:20The dance is next week.
38:25I feel like I'm under a spell or something.
38:29When I first saw Emma, I was like, she's the one.
38:33I don't know.
38:35When I first saw Emma, I was like, she's the one.
38:39But then I saw Lily, and I was like, wow.
38:44You have to choose.
38:46How?
38:48I don't know, but if you don't do it soon...
38:52I'm gonna do it for you.
38:54I'm really, really, really sorry about your audition.
38:58I'm sorry, too.
39:00About your hair, and the dress, and the...
39:03I'm just kidding. There's nothing else.
39:06Here comes Connor.
39:07Do I look okay?
39:08Yeah, do I.
39:09Hey.
39:11Hi, Connor.
39:14Have you guys seen Elliot?
39:16Last I saw, he was at his locker.
39:20Thanks.
39:25I'll catch you two later.
39:28Bye.
39:29That was weird.
39:30He didn't even notice my hair.
39:32And he's not all...
39:34Besotted?
39:35Yeah.
39:36Let's just forget about Connor.
39:38And then we'll concentrate on Mom and Dad.
39:40You're right.
39:41Okay, well, I'm gonna go try to suck up to Mrs. Porter.
39:44I could go with you and explain.
39:46That's okay.
39:48You know I better go alone.
39:50And about your dress.
39:52I used a washable marker.
39:54See you tonight.
39:55Bye.
39:56Do you know who you are?
39:58I'm the messenger.
39:59This is my message.
40:06Are you crying?
40:07Me?
40:09No way.
40:10Yes, you are.
40:13It was the movie.
40:15Mom, it was a movie about ninja assassins.
40:19Well,
40:21ninjas have feelings, too.
40:23Why don't you just call him and tell him you're sorry,
40:25and you really don't want a divorce?
40:27You know he's crazy about you.
40:30I can't.
40:31Why not?
40:33Because I can't, okay?
40:35Just leave it at that.
40:36I don't get it.
40:37You guys are grown-ups,
40:38and you're acting like me and Emma.
40:40Dad still loves you.
40:45Then why didn't he come after me after I left?
40:52He didn't even call.
40:59You really think you can forge their handwriting?
41:02I can try.
41:06Dear Daniel,
41:09I'm sorry for acting like an idiot.
41:12It was all my fault.
41:13I was a complete fool.
41:16That doesn't really sound like Mom.
41:24Dear Daniel,
41:26can we talk?
41:29I can't sleep.
41:31I'm sorry for everything.
41:34Please forgive me.
41:36It's perfect.
41:38Okay, now Dad.
41:43Audrey,
41:45let's not waste any more time
41:48being mad at each other.
41:51I'm so sorry for everything.
41:53I should have never let you go.
41:57It's close.
41:59It's just not exactly the same.
42:09How did you do that?
42:12I don't know.
42:19Wow.
42:22What else can we do?
42:27Whoa.
42:30Watch this.
42:39Oh, we're magic.
42:40I know.
42:41This is awesome.
42:53You look amazing.
42:56Where are you going?
42:57Out.
42:58Wish me luck.
43:00Good luck.
43:01Wow.
43:02Where are you going?
43:03Out.
43:04Out where?
43:05Out there.
43:08So,
43:10Dad, when you were Cupid,
43:13did weird things happen to you?
43:15Like things changing color
43:17and glitter shooting out of your fingertips?
43:20No, I never had glitter shooting out of my fingertips.
43:24How'd you do it then?
43:25I just kind of knew when people were meant to be together.
43:29And then you made them fall in love?
43:32Not made.
43:33Helped.
43:34There's a difference.
43:39Oh, someone's coming.
43:40They're coming.
43:41Go, go, go, go, go.
43:47Look at the candles.
43:51Check that out.
43:56Oh.
43:59Sorry I'm late.
44:01I got these for you.
44:03Oh, another one?
44:05Oops.
44:08They're beautiful.
44:10You're beautiful.
44:18I, uh,
44:21left my cell phone.
44:26You did?
44:32I've missed you.
44:33I've missed you, too.
44:36I had a dream about you last night.
44:39You were standing in the rain, just like the first day we met.
44:42And I started walking towards you, but you turned
44:45and started walking away.
44:48I'm here now.
44:50I was so happy when I got your letter that you'd finally made the first move.
44:55First move?
44:56Your letter.
44:59You sent me a letter.
45:00No, I didn't.
45:01Yes, you did.
45:10Come on, hold on, let's talk.
45:11There's nothing to talk about.
45:13I should have known that you would not have thought of something so beautiful.
45:16How could you do that to me?
45:18You made me look like such an idiot,
45:20jabbering on about my dream like a starry-eyed schoolgirl,
45:23and stupid me,
45:25thinking that he finally cared enough to make the first move.
45:29I just thought...
45:31You made things a million times worse.
45:33How could that possibly help?
45:35We thought that if we got you two together again, you'd make up.
45:37The worst part is you made me hurt her all over again.
45:43She flipped.
45:45He freaked.
45:46She's crying.
45:47He's working.
45:48Everything was so perfect until they figured out those letters were from us.
45:51I know. They were both really going for it.
45:54Mom looks so happy.
45:56I haven't seen her smile like that in a really long time.
45:58They belong together, Lily.
46:00We need to show them that they're making a huge mistake.
46:03But how?
46:05We could...
46:06We can't.
46:08Dad said no more magic.
46:10Then how are we going to make them fall in love again?
46:12We can't make them.
46:14But we can help them.
46:15Okay, then. We help Mom and Dad fall in love again.
46:18All we have to do is get them together one more time.
46:20And we do that how?
46:22We'll think of something.
46:24We're Cupid's daughters, aren't we?
46:26Yes, we are.
46:28We'll think of something.
46:30We're Cupid's daughters, aren't we?
46:32Yes, we are.
46:34You're teaching yoga?
46:36Uh-huh. It's good for the mind and the soul.
46:39You should try it.
46:46Look at this.
46:49That could work.
47:06What's this?
47:08Oh, nothing. They handed them out to everyone.
47:11Hmm.
47:13That's how it found its way to my desk.
47:21About last night...
47:22It's okay. You were right. It was all our fault.
47:30Do you want me to chaperone?
47:32Oh, I'm sure the parents have already signed up.
47:36But I want to.
47:40Well, if you insist.
47:41I do.
47:45Forgive me?
47:47Of course.
47:49Are you sure I won't embarrass you?
47:50You're kidding.
47:52I mean, which girl wouldn't love to have their mom chaperone?
47:55Besides, I think I'll need you there for moral support.
47:58Okay.
47:59Now, I'm sorry about last night.
48:03Can we just forget all about it?
48:05Okay.
48:06Give me a hug.
48:08Oh, jeez.
48:10I think I put too much to it.
48:12Looks like we have everyone all matched up for tomorrow night.
48:17So...
48:19Here's what we'll do.
48:20We'll both get ready for the dance.
48:22And if he goes to your door, you go.
48:23And if he comes to mine, I'll go.
48:27What about the girl who...
48:28She deals with it.
48:29And no magic.
48:31No magic.
48:33Because if it really is love...
48:34If it really is love...
48:36There will be magic.
48:37But I wanted to take pictures.
48:39You can take pictures at the dance.
48:41I think they need you there early.
48:43They have to go over some no-no's with you.
48:46You look beautiful.
48:50Connor's a lucky guy.
48:52Thanks.
48:53Okay, I won't ruin anything.
48:55See you soon.
48:59Emma, could you help me with...
49:01Where did my little girl go?
49:03She's still here.
49:05You look beautiful.
49:07Just like your mother.
49:08Thanks, Dad.
49:09You're gonna be late.
49:11I will see you at the dance.
49:13Can you promise to see the dance for me?
49:15I promise.
49:18Love you, Dad.
49:30Bye.
49:46Shall we go?
49:52You said that they were your favorite,
49:53just like your mom.
49:56They're beautiful.
49:58I know I'm not Connor.
50:00I know that too.
50:02But maybe I could be a good second best.
50:04You're not.
50:17They did it again.
50:20Always playing matchmakers.
50:23It's in their blood.
50:28Why did you run away, Audrey?
50:31Why didn't you come after me?
50:33Thank you so much for doing this.
50:35We were afraid we wouldn't be able to find anyone.
50:38Don't just stand there.
50:40Mr. Valentine asked your beautiful wife to dance.
50:45May I?
50:48May I?
50:58Oh, they're dancing.
51:01They look so cute.
51:03Oh, sorry.
51:04No problem.
51:07Elliot told me what happened with the audition.
51:09We talked to Mrs. Porter
51:10and asked if you and I could alternate playing Juliet.
51:13She said yeah.
51:14She did?
51:15Mm-hmm.
51:16I'll see you Monday after school.
51:17Okay, don't be late.
51:18I won't.
51:19Thanks, Megan.
51:20No problem.
51:23Hey.
51:24What's wrong?
51:25I just feel bad for Lily.
51:27You wish I'd chosen Lily instead?
51:30No.
51:34Look at her.
51:35She's happy.
51:37Is it that painful?
51:40What?
51:42Being close to me?
51:45How much do I love thee, Emma?
51:50Let me count the waves.
51:52Why are you still talking like that?
51:54I thought the magic wore off.
51:57I don't think so.
52:11I just can't believe that I'm going to be Juliet.
52:15And that you did that just for me.
52:18I did it for me.
52:19I mean,
52:22how am I supposed to be Romeo
52:25unless you're Juliet?
52:32You're counting the minutes
52:33till the music stops, aren't you?
52:35No, I'm not.
52:36I know you are.
52:38Oh.
52:39Why?
52:40Because you know everything?
52:42You know what I want?
52:44What do you want, Audrey?
52:46What do you want?
52:47What do you want, Audrey?
52:49And for the life of me,
52:50I can't figure it out.
52:53I want to go home.
52:58Come on.
52:59We have an emergency.
53:00It's Mom.
53:01What did you do this time?
53:02What did I do?
53:03I didn't do anything.
53:04Where's Mom?
53:05She left.
53:06And you let her go?
53:07How could I stop her?
53:08How could you not?
53:10Are you kidding me?
53:11You let her go off again?
53:13Are you sure you used to be Cupid?
53:18Excuse me.
53:28Excuse me.
53:29I need that carrot.
53:30I need that carrot.
53:31Follow that woman.
53:32Go!
53:48They say you fall in love once in a lifetime.
53:52I mean, really in love.
53:55The kind where butterflies dance in your stomach
53:57and you're weak in the knees.
54:17What do you want?
54:20I want you, Audrey.
54:26I've always wanted you.
54:30But I say
54:31you can fall in love over and over again
54:36until you get it right.
