[voice-over] It goes by so quickly. In a flash, the life we knew is gone forever and we're left to ask ourselves: How could he have left me? When did my beauty start to fade? Why has my friend changed? Was I the best mother I could have been? Of course, there are some people who understand how quickly time passes. That's why they're so determined to get what they want... before it's too late.
S5You're Gonna Love Tomorrow
[voice-over] It will happen to all of us eventually. The moment will come when we ask ourselves: Where did the time go? How did the children I once cradled grow up so very quickly? How did the life I dreamt of turn into a career I never expected? And how did that woman I saw each day in the mirror become someone I don't even recognize?
No! For God sakes.
What's wrong now?
Once again, the concept is, sweetie, you're taking the pie out of the oven, your face aglow with surprise.
Why am I surprised?
Because it turned out so perfectly.
That's no surprise. My pies are always perfect.
All right. It's your best pie ever. You've topped yourself.
And I know this before I've tasted it?
Sweetie, just make whatever face you want. I just think you'll sell more cookbooks if you don't look like you just made love to an ice cube.
S5We're So Happy You're So Happy
[Porter is sitting at the table eating a sandwich] Hi, mind if I join you?
OK, I know what I did was unforgivable and I am not trying to make excuses, but we used to talk all the time, and then one day it just stopped, and it killed me. I felt like I lost you and then I was Sarah J and I had you back and we were talking again and you where telling me things.
I wasn't telling you anything, I was telling her.
Well, for what it's worth, I loved our conversations and I'm going to miss them.
[Whispers] Me too.
Hey, got a sec?
Not really.
So, I assume you know what happened to Jimmy Kimrado?
I guess.
Your friend gets busted for dealing drugs at school and all you have to say is 'I guess'?
He's not my friend.
What are you talking about? You were on the same little league team.
