hello, darling.
kym! did you get my note?
you look beautiful.
nonsense. you girls.
yes, everything is absolutely fine now.
darling, can you smoke that in here?
oh, you know how she is. she sends her love.
honey, you should really put that out. it's not right. you know that.
isn't it divine? it was grandma's. she sends her love.
you must promise me you'll stay healthy now, rachel. you'll eat properly and get a lot of rest?
how are things going at the house? how's sidney?
and his friend? what's his name?
he seems to be a big hit. is your sister behaving herself?
well, she needs a lot of acknowledgement.
stop. it can't be easy. everybody knowing her troubles.
stop.
not at all, darling, i'm thrilled to be providing the flowers. you know how much that means to me. they're going to be exquisite!
thank you, my sweetheart. i just know i'd be one of those wedding mothers who goes completely insane about the hors d'oeuvres. andrew says i shouldn't be allowed near a shrimp puff.
there are so many other people for you to worry about.
but this is going to be the most beautiful wedding ever. and i hope your sister has a wonderful time too. anyway i'm going to be a grandmother! hooray!
i'm so excited. i have always wanted to be a grandmother. even when i was thirty. here. this ring was grandma's and she wanted you to have it.
rachel.
as long as it's healthy. try the ring on. rachel does.
you've always had the most beautiful hands.
hello?
hello paul.
no. why? did she go somewhere?
to a meeting?
oh, dear. the night before her wedding? what was it about?
what was the argument about?
you don't know? well what were they saying?
well, last time you called the police looking for her she was upstairs, asleep in the guest room.
paul, i'm trying to help.
she's not a criminal!
paul!.
maybe that's not what she needs all the time.
i mean. i mean maybe she needs us --
-- to trust her --
all right! all right! stop it!
can you count on me?.
yes paul, you can count on me to call if i hear anything.
goodbye.
you should call your father.
i've made some tea.
here darling. sit down. you look upset.
not too late. he's at a dinner.
i spoke to grandma today. she sends her love. is everything all right with the wedding?
good.
mmm hmmm.
you were sick.
you weren't supposed to kill him! you weren't supposed to kill him! kym curls up protectively and abby suddenly stops.
get away!
and, how are you, bob?
here you are.
i've been looking for you all over the place.
i'm in here.
all right.
darling, i'm exhausted. i had such a marvelous time. those dancers were so beautiful. but weddings are really for young people.
and here i am making it. andrew and i are going to washington in the morning.
it's the mother of all fund raisers at american. i thought i mentioned it. we're going to stay on about a week - there are lots of meetings. i thought since you two are going away soon.  . and i'm sure you don't want any grown ups around checking up on you. will you still be here when i get back? kym doesn't say anything.
well, can you come by early?
of course you don't want to do that. it's your wedding night. you don't want to get up early. i have to get andrew organized. he's hopeless. and we'll be back in a bit. it was such a lovely wedding, darling. she bends in for a kiss.
rachel.
will you call me every day about? she pats rachel's tummy.
all right, then.
good bye, son-in-law. kym and rachel watch their mother leave the room.
