You're So Cupid! (2010) Movie Script

They say that you only

fall in love once in a lifetime.

I mean, really in love.

The kind of love where butterflies dance in your stomach

and you're weak in the knees.

I've been there.

It started off as the worst day

of my life.

A total disaster.

But then, there he was,

my knight in shining armor,

my hero.

It was love at first sight,

just like in a fairy tale.

His name was Daniel.

We were made for each other...

a picture-perfect

couple.

Our lives

were complete.

Nothing could ever be better

than this.

Or so I thought.

When Lily and Emma were born,

we fell in love all over again.

We were over joyed.

My sweet, shy Lily,

and Emma,

who knew what she wanted and

how to get it.

They were fraternal twins,

and they were as different as

night and day.

From the time they were little girls,

they loved to play matchmaker.

Valentine's day was their

favorite day of the whole year.

They made cute little valentine

cards

and delivered them to the

neighborhood.

My cute, funny girls.

They were always trying to help

someone fall in love

and live happily ever after.

But doesn't happily ever after

only happen in fairy tales?

I'm gonna miss you.

I'm gonna miss you, too.

I don't wanna go.

You can't just let her go.

Dad, you have to go after her.

Bye.

LILY:"Parting is such sweet

sorrow,

that I shall say good night

till it be morrow."

That I shall say good night

till it be morrow."

Sleep dwell upon thy eyes,

peace in thy, uh, breast...

Were I to sleep in peace so

sweet to rest, hence...

...will I to my ghostly

father's cell,

his help to crave, and my dear

hap to tell.

Thank you.

Thank you. Lily, that was

beautiful.

Elliot, you've done better.

Um, let's try this scene again,

and this time I want you a

little closer,

and I want you to really feel

it.

I want to feel the emotion of

this scene.

If you get the part of Juliet,

you can't be shy.

I know.

Good night, good night.

Parting is such sweet sorrow,

that I shall say good night

till it be morrow.

Sleep dwell upon thy eyes,

peace in thy breast,

were I to sleep in peace so

sweet to rest,

hence will Ito my ghostly

father's cell,

his help to crave and my dear

hap to tell.

Wonderful! Wonderful! Thank you!

Thank you.You may have a seat.

Let's go back to the beginning

of scene nine.

Nice job, Lily.

Looks like I'm gonna have some competition this year.

Thanks, Megan.

Did you know that Juliet was

only 13 when she married Romeo?

No, I didn't.

And ew.

It's so romantic.

It's so illegal.

I understand that the language

of Shakespeare

can be difficult to understand,

but we have a rule in this

class that we all stay awake.

Barry, why don't you come up

here and read with me?

STUDENT: Busted!

I'll be Juliet.

Scene nine.

We have an emergency.

- Another one?- Uh-huh.

"He jests at scars that never

felt a wound,

but soft, what light through

yonder window...

window breaks?

It is the east, and Juliet is

the sun."

Come on, get the ball!

So what's going on?

Marvin wants to ask Rita out,

but he doesn't know how to doit.

Okay, where is she?

Do you think she'd go out with

me?

Of course she will.

As long as you ask her out in

the right way.

I mean, you can't just go up to

her and be like,

"Yo, Rita, wanna go out?"

That's what her ex-boyfriend

Tyler did.

And that's why he's her

ex-boyfriend.

Girls like it when you use

romantic words.

Like what?

Here, connect this to your

phone and put the earbud in.

I'll be on the other line and

tell you exactly what to say.

- What's your number?

- It's 555-0958.

Okay, she's alone. Now's your

chance.

Okay, Marvin, can you hear

me?

Hello?

Put your phone in your pocket.

Um... hey, Rita.

You're in my light.

Tell her that her eyes are like

sapphires.

Your eyes are like sapphires.

What?

LILY: And your lips are like

rubies.

And your lips are like rubies.

Are you being serious?

- She's never gonna go for that.

- Just quiet.

No, Marvin, not you.

Tell her that her skin reminds youof the most delicate porcelain.

Your skin is like the most

delicate porcelain.

You think so?

And you'd walk over a thousand

miles of hot coals

just to be able to touch that

skin.

I'd walk a thousand miles over

hot coals

just to spend one small moment

with you.

That's kind of sweet.

See? He's getting it.

And that if she'd let you take her to the movies Saturday night...

Poop!

Marvin?

Hello, Marvin?

Do you wanna go to the movies

Saturday night?

Sure. Pick me up at 6:00?

"My name, dear saint, is

hateful to myself,

because it is an enemy to thee."

"Art thou not Romeo, and a

Montague?"

Thank you, Barry.

Emma.

Tell me, why does Juliet say,

"My only love sprung from my

only hate"?

Um...

Because when Juliet finds out

that Romeo is a Montague,

she realizes that even though

it's her true love,

he's her worst enemy.

Thank you, Lily.

I have another rule in my class,

and that is that you remain in

your seats

for the entire class period.

To the principal's office,

please.

Cutting class is never

acceptable.

But it was an emergency.

For whatever reason.

I called your parents.

Why?!

How many times have you been in

my office this year?

Three?

25.

Is that your lovely wife?

She's really pretty.

- What's her favorite flower?

- I'm sure it's narcissus.

When was the last time

you sent her flowers?

She looks like the kind of woman who adores getting flowers.

Wait outside my office. Your

parents will be here soon.

Yes?

Miss Adams, please order me some

flowers.

- What kind?

- Narcissus.

- It wasn't our fault.

- He wouldn't listen.

I'll handle it.

Mrs. Valentine.

Miss.

Come in, please.

One down and...

One to go.

Hi, Dad.

She's already in there.

I'll get right to the point.

We pride ourselves in being

supportive

and tolerant of our students.

We want them to feel good about

themselves

and to have a healthy

self-esteem.

I have a goal for each of our

students...

that they leave this school a

better person...

How long is this gonna take?

As long as it needs to.

What happened?

They cut class.

You mean to tell me you've

never cut class?

Not even once?

It's the third time this week.

As I was saying,

I would like each and every one of our students...

What did you say?

Nothing. Nothing, l-l...

Yes, you did.

You always do that. Why do you

always do that?

They're fighting.

What else is new?

Attention all students.

The Sadie Hawkins Dance is in

two weeks!

Get your date!

e'll need to design new dresses!

- Hairstyles! Shoes! Makeup!

- Manicures!

- Pedicures!

- Hey, Jamie.

- Oh, hey, Melissa.

Adam Jones? Okay, you got it.

Scott Tucker? Are you sure?

- Hey, Liz.

- Oh, okay, bye.

Nice choice.

- Okay, bye.

- Hello?

- Sounds good.

- See you later.

What am I gonna do with you two?

Be good.

Come on.

- Call me later.

- Okay. Bye.

Let's go.

Uh, not there.

So why don't you tell me what

was so important

you had to cut class?

You're not gonna buy it

anyway, so why bother?

Try me.

Well, this kid in school to day

was like,

"I really wanna ask this girl

out, but I don't know how,"

and I was like,"Oh, you should

just..."

Okay, you're doing that on

purpose to bug me.

Start over, try it again, this

time in English.

Okay, well, we were in drama class,

and we got a text from Marvin.

Oh, hang on a sec.

Hello?

Yeah, I was thinking Peter

would be perfect for you.

I know, he looks good, right?

He lost, like, 55 pounds on

some veggie sandwich diet.

Yeah, okay, bye.

Anyway, Marvin wanted to ask

Rita out,

but he's totally lacking in the

romance department.

So we had to sort of tutor him.

He was pretty desperate, but you

know how guys are.

Yeah.

Uh, I mean, yeah, I guess I do.

Hello?

Hey, Sophie.

Yes, he's still available.

No, I won't forget.

Okay, bye.

Hey, Dad, can we go riding

after dinner?

I can't. I really gotta get

this work done. It's important.

Okay.

So why couldn't you just wait and help Marvin out after school?

Love won't wait, Mom.

Did you know Juliet was only 13

when she married Romeo?

She didn't wait. She went for

it. She followed her heart.

Yeah, and look what happened to

her.

At least she tasted true love,

if only for a moment.

Mm-hmm, but I bet she'd think twice if she had to do it over again.

Mrs. Porter, she's holding

auditions for Romeo and Juliet,

and I really wanna be Juliet,

but every time I audition for

her, I get really tongue-tied,

and I'll probably just blow it,

and Megan will get the lead

just like she did last year.

Mm-mm, you would be a perfect

Juliet.

You think so?

I know so.

Thanks.

Hello?

Yeah, I'm having a pool party at my house tomorrow after school.

Everyone's invited.

Okay, we'll finalize things

then.

Bye.

Pool party?

When were you gonna ask me?

You should be grounded for

today's escapade.

I know, Dad. I'm sorry.

You still wanna go riding?

Yes!

DANIEL: Sorry, lately I've been,

uh...

Grumpy, moody...

Yeah, all that.

So what would you think if I

sold my business?

I thought you loved what you

did.

I used to.

I think that's what got your

mom so upset.

I was so wrapped up in it.

Mm, just a little.

Well, I got a guy who's

interested in buying it.

He's supposed to call me in a

couple of days.

That'd be really cool.

Think your mom would come back

if I sold it?

Maybe.

Wanna race?

You're on.

♫ Girls don't stop

♫ Dance party, and the girls

don't stop ♫

♫ Dance party, and the girls

don't stop ♫

♫ Dance party

Dance, you've got it going on ♫

♫ Don't let 'em tell you wrong

♫ No, no

Oh, my gosh, for real?

Next.

I don't want anyone with

zits, smelly pits, or halitosis.

Oh, you guys totally rock!

Oh, I'm in heaven!

Are you sure? He's so not who I

had in mind.

- Trust us.

- He's perfect for you.

Okay. What about Raymond Taylor?

No.

Paul Richardson?

No.

Casey Childs?

No!

Okay, Howard likes science and mathematics,

dislikes English.

Strong.

Yeah, but sometimes he smells.

She'd be perfect.

Everyone all matched up?

Yes.

- Where's Lily and Emma?

- Huh?

Who are you asking to the dance?

We're not.

It's way more fun matching

other people up.

Okay, so Zack likes alternative

rock music, but not classical,

and he likes to share

everything.

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Perfect.

Okay.

What are we gonna do with him?

Hello?

No, I'm awake.

Pink and purple?

Yeah, they'll go great together.

It's past midnight.

I know. Five more minutes? I'm

almost done.

How many kids are there in your

school?

A lot, but most of them are

matched up now.

I'm giving them advice on how

to ask their match to the dance.

Can I try?

You're kidding?

I do this for a living,

remember?

Well, yeah, but what you do is

pretty much statistics.

"40-year-old blonde guy, loves

golfing, burritos,

taking long walks on the

beach, seeks 30-year-old woman,

pretty, blonde, weighing under

100 pounds,

no kids, no pets."

What Lily and I do goes so much

deeper.

I mean, we pay attention to

every minor detail.

We know our clients' hearts,

and we make sure to treat them

gently.

I mean, what you do is pretty

much clinical.

Thanks.

Sorry. I mean, your business

serves its purpose.

Well, don't stay up too late.

Good night.

What about Emma's heart?

If it happens, you'll be the

first to know.

Lily!

Lily, wake up! We overslept!

Lily!

Sorry, honey.

The alarm didn't go off.

What day is today?

Thursday.

Ugh! I gotta call your father.

Ha, voice mail. Typical.

Daniel, it's Audrey.

Just a reminder, we're switching

girls tomorrow.

So I'm gonna pick Emma up at

the stable

and drop Lily on the way home.

Thank you.

I'm all packed.

Oh, you're such a good girl.

Oh, come on.

It's only a month. It's gonna

go by fast.

It's not that.

I mean, of course

I'm gonna miss you.

Um, Mom...

whatever happened with you and

dad?

I mean, you used to be so in

love.

Things change. People change.

I know.

But don't you still love

him, even a little bit?

I'm late, and you're gonna be

late for school.

We gotta get going.

So you took care of "N" through

"Z"?

Hello?

I guess.

You guess?

I got it.

Do you think mom and dad will

get back together?

I hope so.

You think he still loves her?

In his crazy, clueless,

mixed-up kind of way, yeah.

I don't think she loves him

anymore.

I mean, when she called him

today to talk about the switch,

she just acted so cold.

Um, about the switch...

Do you care if I stay at dad's?

Just until Cassidy has her foal.

She needs me there. It's her

first time.

Maybe mom needs you, too.

So how about you tell me which girl's gonna take me to the dance?

- Absolutely not.

- That would just spoil all the fun.

You have to wait just like

everyone else.

Okay, how about a hint?

Okay.

It's a girl.

Leave me alone!

Stay away from Rita! Nobody

messes with my girl!

She's not your girl.

Ugh!

RITA'S EX: You scuffed my shoes.

Hey. Leave him alone.

Or what?

Nothing. Just leave him alone.

RITA'S EX: I don't like your

face.

Oh!

Who's that?

That's my cousin Connor.

His family just moved here from

back East.

So he's new?

I mean, like, he goes to school

here?

Yeah.

Cool.

You all right?

Hey, Connor.

What... what are you doing?

No, it's fine. I'll introduce

you. I'll introduce you.

I see you're still making

friends on the first day.

He had it coming.

Since when did you start

talking to pretty girls?

Ha, you're funny, too.

Connor, this is Lily, and this

is...

Emma.

I'm Connor. It's nice meeting

you both.

Okay, we gotta go. Let's go.

Bye, ladies.

Dad, dinner's ready!

Emma?

Hey, Dad. Dinner's ready.

Uh, I'll be upstairsin about an

hour, okay?

An hour? Are you kidding me?

Look, I'm sorry.

I told you I was working late tonight, didn't I?

No, you didn't.

He forgot... again.

Hey. Uh, hey, you wanna order

pizza? Pepperoni, your favorite?

Hello, Emma?

Uh, yeah, I'm here.

I'll be upstairs in about an

hour, okay?

Okay.

Hey, Lil. Can you come over?

♫ I'm making a change

- So where is he?

- Downstairs.

Working.

As usual.

Why the sad face?

I promised dad he'd be the

first to know,

but dad's not here, and you

are, so...

I'm listening.

Okay, you have to promise not

to tell a single soul

what I'm about to tell you.

Okay, I promise.

It finally happened, Lily. I'm

in love.

Well, I think I'm in love.

- With who?

- I can't tell you.

Well, not yet. I wanna ask him

to the dance first.

I mean, it'd be just my luck if

he hated my guts or something.

So you called me all the way

over here

to tell me you're in love,

which is probably the biggest

thing that ever happened to you,

and you won't even tell me who

it is?!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Please

don't be mad.

Well, you know how they say

twins share everything?

I can't believe it... both of

us in love at the same time.

I know.

Now I know how Juliet felt.

Emma, do you get a weird feeling inside when he looks at you?

I mean, like you need to throw up,

but you haven't eaten anything?

That's romantic.

But, yeah, I do.

And when he smiles at you?

Uh-huh.

So it's agreed.

As soon as they answer our

invitation to the dance,

we'll tell each other who we're

in love with.

Agreed.

I can order pizza, or we can go

out to dinner.

Do you wanna go out for pizza?

Why don't you love mom anymore?

I mean, how do you just fall

out of love?

It's complicated.

I'm listening.

I didn't fall out of love.

You still love her?

Uh-huh.

That's why it's complicated.

Why don't you just tell her?

So what is all this?

No fair changing the subject.

No fair asking too many

questions.

What are you doing with the

shredder, young lady?

It finally happened, Dad.

I think I'm in love.

That's why I made a nice dinner

for us.

I wanted to tell you.

Sorry.

Now I know how you and mom felt.

It's awful.

Well, that's not the word that comes to mind when I think of love.

No, what I meant is I help

other people fall in love.

I mean, this kind of stuff just

doesn't happen to me.

I don't know how to handle it.

He plays ball?

Uh-huh.

Is this lame?

Uh-uh, I think it's perfect, and

I should know.

So what have we got for dinner?

Well, you might find something

in the sink.

Mmm.

Who's he gonna marry?

The hot blonde.

You think so?

I know so.

Trust me, Lily.

Men see with their eyes, not

with their hearts.

But the other girl's so perfect.

It doesn't matter.

He's gonna marry the hot blonde.

But how do you know?

Because men are shallow.

And I have seen this movie

before.

You don't wanna see the end?

Duh.

I guess I did kind of ruin it.

Do you wanna help me with

something in the kitchen?

Okay, but I wanna take a quick

shower first.

"I would just melt if you agreed to go to the dance with me!"

Done already?

Sorry, I was in a hurry.

School project?

Mm-hmm.

Mmm... science?

More like chemistry.

Mom.

I'm in love with a really cute

guy.

Who is he?

I can't tell you yet.

So when can you tell me?

Um...

When he says yes to the dance.

So that's what this was all

about, a school science project.

Technically, yes.

Oh.

It's Emma.

Oh, she's in love, too, but

don't tell her I said anything.

Not a word. Lips are sealed.

Hey, Emma.

Hey, it looks like someone

invited me to the dance.

Oh!

ELLIOT:I'm gonna text my mom

and see if anyone dropped

anything at my house.

Please don't see me. Please

don't see me.

Please don't see me. Please

don't see me.

You hear that? There's

something in there.

No way, another one.

You're kidding me.

Dude, I'm so jealous.

- Your heart is melting.

- Huh?

No, I mean, it's really melting.

- Oh.

Um, nothing at your house?

Anything?

No, mom says she'd text if I

got anything.

That's too bad for you.

- Did you do it?

- Mm-hmm.

- Did he see you?

- No, but it was really close.

Oh, me, too. There was a

motion-detector light,

and it popped on just as I was

about to knock.

- How long before they answer?

- They're guys, Lily.

It's gonna be a while.

I hope he says yes!

So what now?

You got two invites, one guy...

you do the math.

You get it.

If it's another one, it's mine.

Is this the Johnson's?

No, the Johnson's are overthere.

Did you get invited?

No, grandma came over. I have

to go. It's family bingo night.

Is she still cheating?

You know it.

Hey, whenever you make your

decision, let me know, okay?

Yeah.

Whoa.

Awesome.

Whoa.

Ethan said yes to Sarah. Alex

said yes to Amanda.

And Josh answered Melissa.

Jake has not responded to

Sharon.

My date said yes, of course.

Piper's date hasn't answered,

and Ashley hasn't asked her date yet.

Why?

Because if he says no, I'll die!

- No one ever says no.

- That would be social suicide.

Hey, call me tonight, and I'll

tell you a great way to ask him.

Thanks!

What if our guys say no?

They won't.

So you're not gonna tell me who

asked you?

No.

Have you chosen who you're

gonna take to the dance?

No.

Well, do it fast so the other

girl can ask someone else.

You wouldn't wanna break her

heart.

Did you girls get your dresses

yet?

- I did.

- I'm waiting...

Just in case I chicken out.

If anyone gets the same

dress as me, I'll freak out!

Oh, that happened to me last

year.

Ugh, you poor thing.

Lucky I don't have to buy off

the rack.

Yeah, lucky.

Did you buy your dresses yet?

Come on, you are going to the

dance, aren't you?

Duh, Megan. They're the ones

who make the matches.

They get first pick.

I know that, Ashley. Thanks.

Well?

Our mom's taking us

tomorrow.

I can't believe we're

looking for dresses!

I know!

I'm so excit...

Oh, my gosh.

It's perfect...

For me.

Ohh!

There's probably another one

just like it.

We can't wear the same dress,

Mom.

So how do I look?

Beautiful, just beautiful.

It's gorgeous.

Why don't you try it on, Lil?

That's okay. It was made for

you.

I like that yellow one over

there.

You sure?

Okay.

You're amazing.

It's about time.

Well, I answered.

So who's the lucky girl?

Both.

What?!

Yeah.

Are you crazy? You answered yes

to both of them.

Why would you do that?

I don't know.

I just did.

Well, who are they?

He said yes.

Yes! He said...

Oh!

Hello?

Emma, he said yes!

When?!

I don't know. Just about a

minute ago.

Do you have anything?

Not yet.

Hold on, let me go check again.

Okay, I'm out front now.

Uh, I don't see anything.

Oh, let me go check the mailbox.

There's nothing here.

Lily, what if he doesn't answer?

He will.

I'll kill him if he doesn't.

What's on your face?

- What?

- You, uh...

Saving that for later?

Funny.

Why are you so sad?

It's nothing.

What's his name?

"Oh, what fools these mortals

be!"

Macbeth?

Midsummer Night's Dream.

Well, I'm impressed.

Yeah, I'm not just a handsome

face.

Uh, someone left this near the

gate. I think it's for you.

Dad, are you kidding me?!

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

Yes!

Yes, yes, yes, yes!

I told you.

I know. I'm so happy. It's like

I'm seeing colors.

Me, too.

So tell me his name.

You first.

No, you.

Okay, we'll say on the count of

three.

One...

Two...

Three!

Connor Miller!

Hey, Mom, can I go to Emma's

house?

Mm. Be back at 11:00.

- Okay.

- Is Emma okay?

Yeah, we just have a little mix-up we need to sort out.

No big deal.

Love you, Mom.

Love you.

They're exactly the same.

This is not happening. What are

we gonna do?

We? There is no we.

The girl who got their answer

first should go to the dance.

I got my answer first, so I'm

gonna go.

That's not fair.

That's totally fair, and you

know it!

So what you're saying is that the girl

who got her answer from Connor first

gets to go to the dance with

him?

Exactly, and that would be me.

We'll see about that.

Hey, Dad! Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad!

- Dad!- Dad!

Hey, girls.

Okay, remember that package

that came for me today?

What time did you get it?

I think the 6:00 news was coming on when it came to the door.

- Ah-ha!

- "Ah-ha" what?

Try to focus. Dad put my answer

in the kitchen at 6:00.

So technically, I got my answer

first!

Even though I didn't know it

when you called,

which was what time?

6:45.

Problem solved. Thanks, Dad.

Thanks a lot, Dad.

What?

You're the one that made

up the rule!

You tricked me into it!

Why don't you just ask Elliot

out?

He's the one that's totally in

love with you!

Little problem, Emma... I'm not

in love with Elliot!

I'm in love with Connor, and I'm

going to the dance with him!

- In your dreams!

- In yours!

Aah!

Ugh!

No way. Emma.

And Lily?

Yeah.

Lily?

Yeah.

So have you figured out

how you're gonna take both of

them to the dance?

I'm working on it.

- Can I sit here?

- Already are.

Everything okay?

No, not really.

Hey, Lily.

Can I sit here?

How's everything going?

You're the most beautiful girl

I've ever seen.

Oh, why... why, thank you.

Those eyes...

I can just drown in those big,

blue eyes.

Did you like the baseball?

Yeah.

I sleep with it under my pillow

every night.

Really?

Hi.

Your eyes...

Your face...

Your soul...

It's like a work of art.

Thank you.

The colors of your fingernails

are so becoming.

It's like love's brush just

painted a canvas of beauty.

Whoa.

Why do I feel likeI 'm the only

one going crazy here?

I don't know, why?

Do you not see what you're

doing?

No.

I've printed sides for you to

audition with,

and I have this clipboard you

will need to sign

if you're going to audition.

I suggest you choose a partner

to audition.

It will be to your advantage to

have a partner,

and it will be to your advantage if you practice together... often.

Hey, do you wanna be partners?

He's... he's not trying out.

Okay, we can be partners.

Cool.

Weren't your fingernails purple

before?

Were they?

Be sure to sign your name to

the audition sheet.

I'll expect you to be on time

for the audition.

4:00 tomorrow. No second

chances.

You must be on time to be in my

play.

I have to be Juliet!

Of course you do.

I hope I get to be Romeo.

You will. You're really good.

Better than Connor?

Lily, may I have a word?

Sure.

You have a natural talent, Lily.

Thanks. I really love the play.

I can tell.

I don't usually do this, but...

I want to tell you I've got my

eye on you for Juliet.

Really?!

I see bright things in your

future.

Thanks!

I'll see you at the audition

tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Lily, hey, wait up.

Hey, do you wanna run lines

tonight?

Your house or mine?

The play?

I can't. I'm busy tonight.

Hey!

You can have him back in a

minute.

- What is going on, man?

- What are you talking about?

You're playing both sisters.

I can't help it.

I'm in love with both of them.

- Hey, Ash.

- Hey, Lily.

I just wanted to say thank you

for helping me ask my date.

He's so cute.

- You're welcome.

- Where are you?

Home. Where are you?

We're at Connor's,

at the

your-date-before-the-dance party

that you and Emma organized.

You and Emma are so amazing.

You pay attention to every

little detail.

It's so romantic.

You and Elliot should totally

come over.

Elliot?

Your date for the dance, silly.

Oh, my gosh. I'm so sorry.

Wasn't I supposed to know?

Emma just told me.

You two make a very cute couple.

Who exactly is there?

Oh, everyone, except you two.

Oh, Emma and Connor are perfect

together.

So are you coming?

I don't know. It's kind of late.

Well, we'll be here till at

least midnight.

It's okay. I have other

plans, but have a great time.

Tell Emma hi for me.

Okay.

Your hair...

It's so... long,

and it's like spun gold.

It's so... captivating.

I think I'm in love with it.

It's just hair.

But it's your hair.

If I could reach up and grab

one of those stars,

I'd bring it down here and give

it to you.

I'd do that.

Lily!

I made a razzleberry pie,

and there was this Cary Grant

marathon on TV tonight.

Your favorite.

If you don't mind, I'm really

tired.

I mean, I have my audition tomorrow,

and I need to polish my lines.

I really can't blow this.

Oh.

You are gonna be amazingly...

amazing.

Hey.

Have you been crying?

No, I'm just really stressed.

You know how blotchy I get when

I'm stressed.

Well, do you want me to DVR the

rest?

Sure.

Um, I had a really nice time

tonight.

Me too.

Let's wait.

As you wish.

Thank you.

Good night.

Hey.

Text me before you go to sleep.

Okay.

Lily!

Hello?

Hi.

Audrey? What's wrong?

It's Lily.

What's the matter? Is she hurt?

Oh, no, no, no, no. Nothing

like that.

It's just that, um, when she

got home last night,

it looked like she had been

crying.

Did anything happen over there?

She's a teenage girl. They cry

all the time.

Not Lily.

Look, she wasn't even here last

night.

Are you sure?

I think I would know if my own

daughter was at my house.

Hold on a second.I really need

to take this.

Don't even think about taking

that call.

Hold on one second, okay?

Where were you?

I'm right on time, 5:00.

Audition's were at 4:00. We've

known that for weeks.

No, I had a note on my fridge.

Mrs. Porter...

She didn't have an emergency,

did she?

Let me see.

I see you got the part of Romeo.

Yeah.

Congrats.

Maybe if you talk to Miss Porter,

she'll let you play the nurse.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Hey, Megan.

You got the part of Juliet?

That's really cool.

No, no, I'm really happy for

you.

I just, uh... I think I'm

coming down with something.

You know what? I gotta... I

gotta go.

I think my dad's calling me.

Okay, bye.

I can't believe I did that to

Lily.

I'm a complete jerk.

Dad!

Oh, Lily.

How could you do that to your

poor sister?

Ask her what she did to me.

What did you do?

You started it.

She drew all over my beautiful

dress with a sharpie!

Lily! Do you know how much that

dress cost?!

I'll pay for it.

She sabotaged my audition.

Mrs. Porter...

She didn't have an emergency.

Oh, Emma!

You know how much that role

meant to your sister.

How could you do that to her?

It's about that boy, isn't it?

We both love him.

So we both asked him to the

dance.

And he said yes to both of

us.Why would he do that?

And he's flirting with both of

us, too.

But he likes me best!

I don't think so.

Did he tell you that when he

looks into your eyes time stops?

No, but he said my freckles are

like little angel kisses.

What?

Nothing.

Daniel, tell them why this boy

loves them both so much.

What are you talking about?

Why is he in love with both of

us?

Because you have a special

gift, just like your dad does.

Your dad is Cupid!

Cupid?

Like the guy in diapers

who goes around shooting bows

and arrows at people?

Fine, just blurt it out!

I thought we were gonna wait for the perfect moment to tell them!

Well, when is the perfect

moment, Daniel?

We were going to tell them when

they were 13.

Now they're almost going to college.

When is the perfect moment?

You see? This is how you

operate.

Blame everything on good old

Daniel

so you look like the good guy!

Well, you know what? Take a

good look in the mirror

because you're the one that

walked out!

You're the one that split up

this whole family!

Good guys don't do that!

No, good guys stick around and

face the music,

like a man...

like a woman.

Oh, yeah? Well, this woman is

done.

This woman wants a divorce!

See how she gets?

So do you think mom's really

serious about wanting a divorce?

You know how mom gets when

she's all worked up,

especially about dad.

Yeah, you're right.

You need to do something.

Me? How?

I don't know.

Lock her in her room until she

comes to her senses.

I bet no one will notice if you

put it up.

I'm practically bald.

Here, let me.

Why does love have to be so

complicated?

Because that's what makes it

exciting.

Take Romeo and Juliet, for

instance.

If their families weren't feuding,

their story would be boring.

Romeo meets Juliet, they fall

in love, get married,

have kids, the end.

What's wrong with that?

Do you really think dad is

Cupid?

Yeah.

So when I fell in love with

your mother,

that's when I crossed over...

became mortal.

Did you use magic on mom to

make her fall in love withyou?

No, she said it was love at

first sight.

What about you?

I became mortal, didn't I?

So you can't make people fall

in love anymore?

Apparently not.

Do you miss being Cupid?

Sometimes.

It's a rush seeing people fall

in love.

We know.

What about falling in love

yourself?

Well, that's where it gets

complicated.

I used to think I was the

expert on love.

I... guess not.

Take your mother, for example.

I gave her this house,

everything, and it...

...wasn't enough. It was never

enough.

Maybe she didn't want all this.

Maybe all she wanted was you.

Are you sad you're not Cupid

anymore?

No.

I'd do it all over again to

have a moment with her.

If you still love her,

why didn't you chase after her when she left?

She still loves you, Dad.

Then she needs to tell me that.

She's the one that left.

Emma or Lily?

I don't know. I've already told

you that.

The dance is next week.

Can't I just take 'em both?

No, you can't.

Why not?

Uh, because girls don't share.

I feel like I'm under a spell

or something.

When I first saw Emma, I was

like, "She's the one."

But then I saw Lily, and I was

like "Wow."

You have to choose.

How?

I don't know, but if you don't

do it soon...

I'm gonna do it for you.

They'll never go for it.

Maybe not, but we have to

try.

We can't let mom and dad get a

divorce.

Yeah, you're right. We'll do it

tonight.

I'll tell dad I'm sleeping over

at your house.

Okay.

I'm really, really, really

sorry about your audition.

I'm sorry, too, about your hair

and the dress and the...

I'm just kidding. There's

nothing else.

Shh, here comes Connor.

- Do I look okay?

- Yeah, do I?

Yeah.

Hey.

Hi, Connor.

Have you guys seen Elliot?

Last I saw, he was at his

locker.

Thanks.

All right, well, I'll catch you

two later.

Bye.

That was weird.

He didn't even notice my

hair, and he's not all...

- Besotted?

- Yeah.

Let's just forget about Connor

and concentrate on mom and dad.

Yeah, you're right.

Okay, well, I'm gonna go try to

suck up to Mrs. Porter.

I could go with you and explain.

That's okay. No, I better go

alone.

Okay.

And about your dress... I used a

washable marker.

- See you tonight.

- Bye.

Do you know who you are?

I am the messenger. This is my

message.

Are you crying?

Me?

No way.

Yes, you are.

It was the movie.

Mom, it was a movie about ninja

assassins.

Well, ninjas have feelings, too.

Why don't you just call him and

tell him you're sorry

and you really don't want a

divorce?

You know he's crazy about you.

- I can't.

- Why not?

Because I can't, okay? Just

leave it at that.

I don't get it.

You guys are grown ups, and

you're acting like me and Emma.

Dad still loves you.

Then why didn't he come after

me after I left?

He didn't even call.

You really think you can

forge their handwriting?

I can try.

"Dear Daniel, I'm sorry for

acting like an idiot.

It was all my fault. I was a

complete fool."

That doesn't really sound like

mom.

Yeah.

Okay.

"Dear Daniel, can we talk?

I can't sleep. I can't eat.

I'm sorry for everything.

Please forgive me."

That's perfect.

Okay, now dad.

"Audrey, let's not waste any more time being mad at each other.

I am so sorry for everything. I

should have never let you go."

It's close. It's just not

exactly the same.

How did you do that?

I don't know.

Wow!

What else can we do?

Whoa!

Watch this.

Oh, we're magic!

I know! This is awesome!

Maybe it's not as awesome as we

think.

I mean,

what if Connor didn't wanna go to the dance with you... or me?

What if something we did made

him fall in love with us?

- Like Cupid's arrows!

- Exactly.

And that's why he accepted both

of our invitations to the dance.

Which means...

Which means we should focus on

mom and dad

and leave Connor until after

they're back together.

You look amazingly... amazing.

- I do?

- Mm-hmm.

- Where are you going?

- Out.

Wish me luck.

Good luck.

Emma, will you help me with my

tie?

Wow, where are you going?

- Out.

- Out where?

Out there.

So, Dad, when you were Cupid,

did weird things happen to you?

Like what?

Like things changing color

and glitter shooting out of

your fingertips?

Because I think it's happening

to me and Lily.

Uh, no, I never had glitter

shooting out of my fingertips.

No arrows?

Not like the movies or the

greeting cards, no.

How'd you do it, then?

It's hard to explain. I, uh...

I just kinda knew when people

were meant to be together.

And then you made them fall in

love?

Not made, helped.There's a

difference.

Oh, someone's coming! They're

coming! Go, go, go, go, go!

Oh, the candles!

Check that out!

I'll get the music.

I think we're getting the hang

of this.

There's mom.

Ahh.

Mmm, how sweet.

He's late.

Oh, wait, wait, here he comes.

Sorry, I'm late.

I, uh, got these for you.

Oh, another one?

Oops.

They're beautiful.

You're beautiful.

Thank you.

I, uh... left my cell phone.

You did?

I've missed you.

I've missed you, too.

I had a dream about you last

night.

You were standing in the rain,

just like the first day we met.

And I started walking towards

you,

but you turned and started

walking away.

So I called...

...but you wouldn't come back.

I'm here now.

It's just...

It's just that it was one of

those awful dreams

that I couldn't wait to wake up.

I'm talking too much, aren't I?

No, you're fine. I like hearing

you talk.

I missed your voice.

You have?

I was so happy when I got your letter

that you'd finally made the first move.

First move?

Your letter.

What letter?

The one that you said that

everything was all your fault.

- You sent me a letter.

- No, I didn't.

Yes, you did.

Hold on, let's talk.

- There's nothing to talk about.

- Wait.

I should have known

that you would not have thought

of something so beautiful.

- I was just a fool.

- Come on, don't go.

Please! Don't walk away from me

again!

How could you do that to me?!

We just thought that...

Oh, you made me look like such

an idiot,

jabbering on about my dreamlike

a starry-eyed school girl!

The whole time,

he's thinking I was the one who set everything up!

Oh, I can just see his face

when he got that letter...

all smug and self-righteous!

And stupid me,

thinking that he finally cared

enough to make the first move!

We just thought...

We just wanted to help.

Trying to help?!

You made things a million times

worse!

How could that possibly help?!

We thought that if we got you

two together again,

you'd make up, fall in love

again.

Your matchmaking days are over,

Emma!

I want you both to stop! Stop

with all this silliness!

You're messing with people's

lives, and it's just wrong!

You know what the worst part is?

The worst part is you made me

hurt her all over again.

- She flipped.

- He freaked.

- She's crying.

- He's working.

Everything was so perfect

until they figured out those

letters were from us.

I know. They were both really

going for it.

Mom looked so happy.

I haven't seen her smile like

that in a really long time.

They belong together, Lily.

We need to show them that

they're making a huge mistake.

But how?

We could...

We can't. Dad said no more

magic.

Then how are we gonna make them

fall in love again?

We can't make them, but we can

help them.

There's a difference.

What do you mean?

Dad said that when he was Cupid,

he didn't make people fall in love.

He just helped them.

Do you think that's why Connor

stopped being so love struck,

the magic wore off?

Maybe.

But like dad said,

we're supposed to help people

make a connection,

and if it is true love, it'll

stick.

Okay, then we help mom and dad

fall in love again.

All we have to do is get them

together one more time,

and then it sticks.

And we do that how?

We'll think of something. We're

Cupid's daughters, aren't we?

Yes, we are.

You're teaching yoga?

Uh-huh, it's good for the mind

and the soul.

You should try it.

Hmm.

Look at this.

That could work.

What's this?

Oh, nothing.

They handed them out to

everyone.

Hmm.

That's how it found its way to

my desk?

About last night...

It's okay. You were right.

It was all our fault.

Do you want me to chaperone?

Oh, I'm sure other parents have

already signed up.

But I want to.

Well, if you insist.

I do.

Forgive me?

Of course.

Are you sure I won't embarrass

you?

You're kidding.

I mean, what girl wouldn't love

to have their mom chaperone?

Besides, I think I'll need you

there for moral support.

Okay.

Now, I'm sorry about last night.

Can we just forget all about it?

- Okay.

- Give me a hug.

Oh, jeez! I think I put too

much!

Looks like we have everyone all

matched up for tomorrow night.

So...

We could share.

You're kidding.

Here's what we'll do.

We'll both get ready for the dance,

and if he goes to your door, you go,

and if he comes to mine, I'll

go.

What about the girl who...?

She deals with it.

No tears, no tantrums?

Exactly.

And no magic.

No magic.

Because if it really is love,

there will be magic.

But I wanted to take pictures.

You can take pictures at the

dance.

I think they need you there

early.

They have to go oversome no-nos

with you.

Mmm.

You look beautiful.

- Connor's a lucky guy.

- Thanks.

And I won't ruin anything.

See you soon.

Emma, could you help me...?

Wow.

Where'd my little girl go?

She's still here.

You look beautiful... just like

your mother.

Thanks, Dad.

You're gonna be late. I will

see you at the dance.

Okay. Promise to save a dance

for me?

I promise.

- I love you, Dad.

- I love you, too.

Wow.

Shall we go?

You said that they were your

favorite, just like your mom.

They are.

They're beautiful.

Thank you, Elliot.

I know I'm not Connor...

I know that, too.

But maybe I could be a good

second-best.

You're not...

...second-best.

♫ Hello, baby, welcome home

♫ Two weeks away can feel

so long ♫

♫ You smile at me, but

something's wrong ♫

♫ You turn your head and start

to walk ♫

♫ Toward the table

♫ Say, "Sit down, we have to

talk" ♫

They did it again.

Always playing matchmakers.

It's in their blood.

The girls are growing up.

It seems like only yesterday

they were running around

putting valentines on

everyone's front porch.

Why did you run away, Audrey?

Why didn't you come after me?

Thank you so much for doing

this.

We were afraid we wouldn't be

able to find anyone.

Don't just stand there, Mr. Valentine.

Ask your beautiful wife to dance.

Well, uh...

No, no, no, I insist.

I'll keep an eye on the

students for you.

Go ahead.

May I?

Is it that painful?

What?

Being close to me.

Aww, they're dancing.

They look so cute.

- Oh.

- Oh, sorry.

No problem. He has two left

feet anyway.

You guys having fun?

Yes.

Elliot told me what happened

with the audition.

We talked to Mrs. Porter

and asked if you and I could

alternate playing Juliet.

She said yeah.

- She did?

- Mm-hmm.

I'll see you Monday after

school. Okay? Don't be late.

I won't!

- Thanks, Megan.

- No problem.

I just can't believe that I'm

gonna be Juliet

and that you did that just for

me.

Thank you, Elliot.

But, Lily, I didn't do it for

you.

You didn't?

No.

I did it for me.

I mean, how am I supposed to be

Romeo

unless you're Juliet?

Hey, what's wrong?

Nothing.

I just feel bad for Lily.

You wish I'd chosen Lily

instead?

No.

Look at her. She's happy.

How much do I love thee, Emma?

Let me count the ways.

Why are you still talking like

that?

I thought the magic wore off.

I don't think so.

♫ You lifted me higher

♫ Than I've ever been

Counting the minutes till the

music stops, aren't you?

- No, I'm not.

- I know you are.

Oh, why? Because you know

everything?

You know what I'm feeling, what

I'm thinking?

You know what I want?

What do you want, Audrey?

For the life of me, I can't

figure it out.

I want...

Don't, please?

I wanna go home.

I'll be right back.

Come on, we have an emergency.

It's mom. Come on.

- What did you do this time?

- What did I do? I didn't do anything.

- Where's mom?

- She left.

- And you let her go?

- How could I stop her?

How could you not?

Are you kidding me? You let her

go off again?

Are you sure you used to be

Cupid?

It used to be so easy before I

married her.

All I had to do was make people

happy.

No questions asked.

All she wants is you, the way

you used to be.

That's all.

- It can't be that simple.

- It is, Dad.

If you really love her.

Excuse me! Excuse me, I

need that carriage!

I need that carriage! Follow

that woman, go!

They say you fall in

love once in a lifetime.

I mean, really in love.

The kind where butterflies

dance in your stomach

and you're weak in the knees.

What do you want?

I want you, Audrey.

I've always wanted you.

But I say you can fall

in love over and over again,

until you get it right.

Look at this place.

Yeah, we just got here.

Of course I miss you.

Hey, I gotta go.

I love you, too. Bye.

I can't believe it, our first

day at college!

Freedom at last!

Yes, and with mom and dad off

on their second honeymoon,

they won't be able to check up

on us.

- They'll find a way.

- I know.

So how's Elliot?

He's gonna transfer here. Isn't

that awesome?

Yeah, awesome for you.

Oh, come on. Connor will be

home for Christmas break,

which is only in a few more

months.

And then we'll be just like old

times.

We'll see.

Check it out.

Should we?

I think so.

Are you okay?

I am now.

I think I'm gonna like it here.

Me too. Let's take a picture

and send it to mom and dad.

Okay.
