Go away.I'm not here.

Hi Nobody home but us bees.

What? What are you talking about?

Hannah, there's something you should know about me .

Yesterday ,I dressed up as a bee and sang a song .

Where? In an office full of people with real jobs.

You did? You're incredible.

No,no.I'm not incredible.I'm desperte.

If I were an actor,or a struggling artist,or crazy.

But no.I'mprefectly same .Yet this is my life .

You're the only person I'm telling,Hannah.

If Michael finds out,Iwill never hear the end of it.

I don't know why you're so embrrassed.

It's not dishonest,or ill egal,or immoral.

You're right. It's just humiliating.

Are you too humiliated to go away with me in a couple of weeks?

Do you still want to go?

Absolutely.Here's some stuff you can borrow for the trip.Thanks.

You're very cute when you're depressed.

Is it pssible you have very poor taste in men?

Sweetheart,may I steal you from your friends for just a few minutes?Oh.Sure ,Grammy.

I know you've got lots of presents to open.But I wanted to give you this one first.

Oh they're so beautiful.They're very special.

My grandmother gave them to me on my sixteenth birthday.

I've had them ever since.

Dou you like them?I love them.

I have so many earrings,but nothing like these .

These are the best.Did your Grammy really give them to you?Mm-hm.

Can I try them on?Of course.

Oh,Oh,Grammy.I'm so sorry Don't worry.

We'll find it.Ah ha ,there it is.

Ugh,that's not it.Hmph.I wish there were fewer walnuts in this pudding.

They look like earrings.

Mom really likes walnuts.She doesn't even put in as many as she wants.

Dad won't let her.Thank goodness for that.

Ah.I think we have something here,besides a lot of pudding.

One heirloom earring.

Great,Grammy.

That wasn't so bad.There's just a little less pudding to go around.

Happy birthday,honey.

Happy Birthday,Beth.

You mom said she'll cut the cake in the kitchen.

This isn't the present that you really want.He wouldn't fit in the box.Ooohhh.From Justine.

It's the jacket I love from Maxi's. It's so great.Thank you,Justine.

So,what's the present you really want?

I'll never tell.Awww...
