Convinced that she will always be alone, Lucy resumes her sad, lonely life dreaming of Venice while handing out subway tokens.
$EOC
$PUZZLE 4
Lucy is attracted to Jack and she even thinks she might be falling in love with him. After a series of misunderstandings, though, she decides that maybe he isn't her type after all. Several months later, one of her girlfriends persuades her to be a guest on a talk show about women who love men from afar.
$EOC
$PUZZLE 5
Lucy is attracted to Jack and he is attracted to her. Since Lucy is still pretending to be Peter's fiancee, this makes the situation rather awkward for them.
^Jack feels guilty about what he's doing to Peter.
^^6
^Despite everything, Lucy and Jack fall in love.
^^7
$EOC
$PUZZLE 6
Jack feels guilty about betraying his brother. Because of his feelings of guilt, Jack is unable to make a commitment to Lucy. He puts his feelings aside and refuses to betray his brother any further.
$EOC
$PUZZLE 7
Lucy and Jack fall in love with each other. They don't admit it to each other, though. Lucy wants to tell Jack the truth but then Peter comes out of the coma and proposes to her.
^Lucy decides to marry Peter.
^^8
^Lucy turns Peter's marriage proposal down.
^^9
$EOC
$PUZZLE 8
Lucy decides to marry Peter. After all, it's not every day that a handsome man asks a girl to marry him even though he doesn't really know her. Peter turns out to be a jerk who prefers other men's wives. Shattered, Lucy drops out of life and becomes a bag lady. Her dad's big overcoat comes in really handy in her new street life.
$EOC
$PUZZLE 9
Lucy turns Peter's proposal down. She's touched by his offer but she can't marry Peter when she's in love with Jack. Of course, then, Lucy and Jack finally admit that they love each other. Of course, they get married and live happily ever after--after a honeymoon trip to Venice, of course.
$EOC
$PUZZLE 10
But Lucy has been a secret admirer of Peter's for quite some time. Loving him from afar, she never really got to know him but she's sure that she could love the person as much as she loves her fantasy of him.
^Peter falls in love with Lucy.
^^11
^Peter asks Lucy to marry him but he doesn't love her.

$EOC
$PUZZLE 11
The impossible happens and Peter falls in love with Lucy.
^Lucy discovers that she really doesn't love Peter.
^^12
^Lucy thinks she's the luckiest girl in the world.
^^13
$EOC
$PUZZLE 12
Until she saved his life, Lucy had never had the opportunity to get to know Peter. Once she gets to know him, she discovers that she really can't stand him. She dumps him and this totally devastates him. Lucy soon finds another man to fantasize about. Fantasies can be lonely but they're better than a reality that doesn't satisfy.
$EOC
$PUZZLE 13
Lucy is ecstatic when she discovers that Peter loves her. At first, they have a very happy relationship. As time goes by, though, Lucy begins having a nagging suspicion that something is missing from their relationship. She can't quite put her finger on it but she wishes there were a little more magic between them.
$EOC
$PUZZLE 14
Persuaded by Saul that marrying Lucy is the best thing for him to do, Peter asks her to marry him and sets up the ceremony when she says yes.
^Something funny happens on the way to the altar
^^15
^Until death does them part.
^^16
$EOC
$PUZZLE 15
The closer the wedding date gets, the more accident-prone Lucy seems to become. She slips and falls on the ice at work. She drops her hot-dog on her dad's old coat. The day of the wedding, her shoe breaks. She trips on her dress. At the last minute, she gets an irresistible urge to fly to L.A. and drive a bus, leaving Peter at the altar. She doesn't know why but she feels the need for speed.
$EOC
$PUZZLE 16
Lucy and Peter plan their wedding day down to the last detail. Lucy keeps worrying if she's doing the right thing, though. The night before the wedding, she has a really scary dream about what married life with Peter would be like. The dream frightens her and she calls off the wedding.
$EOC
$PUZZLE 17
Boy, you're really dreaming selecting Joe Jr. for Lucy. Well, let's see what happens.
^They discover that they have a lot in common.
^^18
^Joe Jr. is in love with Lucy and won't give her up.
^^21
$EOC
$PUZZLE 18
You might think that these two people don't have anything in common but Lucy and Joe Jr. discover that they have a lot in common...
^...fetishes.
^^19
^...falling in love with strangers.
^^20
$EOC
$PUZZLE 19
When Lucy throws Joe Jr. into her closet, little does she know that this will have an enormous impact on both of their lives. Once Joe Jr. sees the inside of Lucy's closet, it becomes next to impossible to get him out of the closet. They get married and visit the Imelda Marcos Shoe Museum on their honeymoon.
$EOC
$PUZZLE 20
Lucy and Joe Jr. discover that they both fall in love with people from afar. If it looks like the love is going to be returned, they panic and run the other way. Eventually, they write a book so they can help people with similar problems learn to deal with it. A television movie is made and Tori Spelling plays the role of Lucy and Chris Farley plays Joe Jr.
$EOC
$PUZZLE 21
OK, it's not difficult to imagine that Joe Jr. has fallen in love with Lucy. Seems like everyone in this movie is falling in love with Lucy.
^Joe Jr. only wants Lucy to be happy.
^^22
^Joe Jr. wants Lucy only for himself.
^^23
$EOC
$PUZZLE 22
Joe Jr. really wants to be the only man in Lucy's life but he realizes that it just isn't meant to be. He wants her to be happy so he loves her from afar and looks out for her. (Yes, I know this is rather lame. Joe Jr. is really a selfish child in a grown-up's body. He means well but he really doesn't have the maturity to deal with an adult relationship. Are you happy now? I hope so.)
$EOC
$PUZZLE 23
Joe Jr. wants Lucy only for himself. In fact, he's become obsessed with Lucy. He convinces Jack that he and Lucy are an item so Jack will leave her alone. Joe Jr. goes so far as to construct a shrine to Lucy in his closet. His dad discovers the shrine, though, and makes Joe Jr. throw it all away. Joe Jr. pouts for a week but then he gets over it and starts chasing the woman who lives on the third floor.
$EOC
$PUZZLE 24
You chose Jack. Jack is one of the last in his family to find out about Lucy's engagement to Peter (Peter is the last one). He is attracted to Lucy but he doesn't pursue her out of respect for his brother.
^He falls in love with Lucy anyway.
^^25
^He falls in love with the woman Peter was dating.
^^44
^He swears off all women.
^^47
$EOC

^He is bound and determined to win her over.
^^31
^He can't make up his mind about her.
^^35
$EOC
$PUZZLE 26
Jack expected his life to change when he fell in love with Lucy but he didn't expect it to become a television sitcom.
^Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate!
^^27
^Waaaaaaaaahhhhhh!
^^28
$EOC
$PUZZLE 27
Life with Lucy is full of surprises, though. Jack and Lucy go to a candy show at the convention center. While looking at the exhibits, Lucy accidentally bumps a candy display and, CRASH, chocolate bonbons fly everywhere. In a desperate attempt to hide her clumsiness, Lucy tries to eat the evidence. There are just too many bonbons, though.
$EOC
$PUZZLE 28
In this sitcom, though, there's a lot of crying.
^loud sobs
^^29
^wimpy whines
^^30
$EOC
$PUZZLE 29
Despite everything, Jack loves Lucy. Her loud sobbing, though, really gets on his nerves. In fact, it bothers him so much that he runs the other way.
$EOC
$PUZZLE 30
Despite the crying, Jack declares his love for Lucy to the world. The wimpy whine she resorts to when she wants to get her way begins to get on his nerves, though. In desperation, he takes her to the hospital to have her whine removed. Their medical insurance won't cover the procedure so Jack buys earplugs.
$EOC
$PUZZLE 31
Jack is bound and determined to win Lucy's love.
^He sends her lots and lots of flowers.
^^32
^He gets down on his knees and begs her.
^^33
^He is really, really nice to her.
^^34
$EOC
$PUZZLE 32
He begins sending lots and lots of flowers to Lucy, hoping to show her how much he loves her. Her small apartment is soon completely filled with flowers. This definitely gets her attention. He doesn't know when to quit, though. The flowers just keep on coming. Or was that some other movie?
$EOC
$PUZZLE 33
He gets down on his knees and begs her to love him. When this doesn't work, he sends her really sad letters (I mean, really sad). Then he tries standing outside her apartment playing love songs on his boombox. This gets him arrested. Lucy moves and leaves no forwarding address which finally forces Jack to face reality.
$EOC
$PUZZLE 34
He is really, really nice to her. Do you really think that being really, really nice works? GROW UP! Everyone knows that nice guys finish last!
$EOC

^He's attracted to her.

^He doesn't want to get in his brother's way.
^^39
$EOC
$PUZZLE 36
Despite feelings of guilt about his brother, Jack is definitely attracted to Lucy.
^He's been hurt before, though.
^^37
^He doesn't really trust her.
^^38
$EOC
$PUZZLE 37
He is leery of getting into a relationship with Lucy, though. He's been hurt before and he just doesn't want to go through that pain again. And all that business with Joe Jr. and Peter. Maybe Lucy would be better off with one of them. She must like one of them. After all, where there's smoke, there's fire...
$EOC
$PUZZLE 38
He likes her a lot but he's not sure he trusts her. There are so many inconsistencies in her story. If she was engaged to Peter, why didn't Peter ever tell his family? Why doesn't Peter remember after he comes out of his coma? Maybe Jack is better off without her.
$EOC
$PUZZLE 39
He doesn't want to get in his brother's way.
^How can he steal his brother's girl?
^^40
^Lucy is not Peter's type.
^^41
$EOC
$PUZZLE 40
His brother is in a coma and Jack is attracted to his fiancee. How did he end up in this situation? It just isn't fair! What he really wants to do is make furniture. He makes really good furniture, too. Maybe that's what he should do, get out of the family business and start a business of his own. He'll find a girl of his own, too!
$EOC
$PUZZLE 41
He doesn't want to hurt his brother. He just can't accept that Lucy is Peter's type, though.
^Jack thinks Lucy is really his type.
^^42
^Jack just can't believe Peter got that lucky.
^^43
$EOC
$PUZZLE 42
Lucy is more Jack's type. Since she says she's Peter's fiancee, Jack will have to accept it. Jack will have to look elsewhere. (All right, fine. I'll admit that this isn't going anyway. I think Bill Pullman needs to try to get more movie roles where he gets the girl. In this movie, he does get the girl, finally. Usually, though, he ends up in movies where someone else gets the girl and that's getting old.)
$EOC
$PUZZLE 43
Jack just can't believe that Peter is so lucky. Jack is in love with Lucy. Lucy is Peter's fiancee. Peter is Jack's brother. Jack is very jealous. Jack joins the Merchant Marines and sails off to see the world. Problem solved.

^^46
$EOC
$PUZZLE 45
In a surprise move, Ashley dumps her husband for Jack. There is a double wedding for Lucy and Peter and Ashley and Jack. They're one big happy family until Peter and Ashley rekindle the flame of their love. When Peter and Ashley run away together, Jack and Lucy console each other. It took awhile but they finally got together.
$EOC
$PUZZLE 46
Jack proclaims his love for Ashley but she can't stand him. He's just too working class for her. She's looking for someone a bit more refined. She holds out for Peter despite the fact that she's still married to her husband.
$EOC
$PUZZLE 47
Life wasn't supposed to be so complicated. Jack swears off women and builds a cabin in the hills. He becomes a recluse, spending all his time making rocking chairs. Woodworking is very soothing and it helps him forget what a loser he is.
$EOC
$PUZZLE 48
You chose Peter. Poor Peter. He really has it tough. Basically, he just has to lie in his hospital bed while most of the plot lines are developed.

^^52
$EOC
$PUZZLE 51
Peter is still sleeping. Lucy kisses him and just like in Sleeping Beauty, Peter wakes up. He's been asleep so long that he has undergone a personality change and he's a sweet guy now. Lucy and Peter fall in love and live happily ever after. (Isn't that just so sweet.)
$EOC

^^55
$EOC
$PUZZLE 54

$EOC
$PUZZLE 55
He remembers everyone but Lucy. He tries very hard to remember Lucy but he just can't.
^His family tells him about Lucy.
^^56
^Peter tries to like Lucy.
^^57
$EOC
$PUZZLE 56
Peter listens to how much everyone in his family loves Lucy. He thinks maybe he should love her too. He tries to change and become a nice guy but he just can't. Realizing that he's doomed to a life of jerkdom, he leaves Chicago, never to return.
$EOC
$PUZZLE 57
Peter tries really hard to like Lucy but she's not his type. If he were going to guess, he would guess that she was his brother's type. He tries to fix Lucy and Jack up. It doesn't really take much effort on his part. In fact, it surprises him how easy it was. Life sure is funny, isn't it?
$EOC
$PUZZLE 58
Throughout everything, Peter keeps having these weird but wonderful dreams.
^He keeps dreaming.
^^59
^He becomes lost in space.
^^60
$EOC
$PUZZLE 59
They are so wonderful, that he keeps on dreaming and never stops. (Sorry but that's the end of this one.)
$EOC
$PUZZLE 60
In his dreams, Peter travels from one romantic comedy to another in some kind of perpetual motion machine. This could conceivably go on forever--there are just that many romantic comedies out there.
$EOC
$PUZZLE 61
You chose Saul. Saul is very close to the Callaghan family. In fact, he's about as close as you can get without actually being family. He wants only the best for them.
^He discovers Lucy's secret.
^^62
^He blindly accepts Lucy's story.
^^69
$EOC
$PUZZLE 62
Saul discovers Lucy's secret, though.
^He tells everyone the truth.
^^63
^He keeps the secret.
^^64
$EOC
$PUZZLE 63
Saul doesn't want to see the Callaghan family get hurt. When he discovers Lucy's secret, he feels he has no choice but to tell them. He's surprised when they turn Lucy out without a second thought. He didn't think they were so cold-hearted. He winds up worrying about if they're going to dump him, too.
$EOC
$PUZZLE 64
Despite his concern for the Callaghan family, Saul decides to keep Lucy's secret.
^He tells Lucy he'll take care of everything.
^^65
^He tells lies to help her out.
^^68
$EOC
$PUZZLE 65
He tells her that he'll take care of everything. He has a funny way of taking care of everything, though.

^^66
^He keeps avoiding the issue.
^^67
$EOC
$PUZZLE 66
He decides that the best thing to do is to tell the Callaghans everything. To everyone's surprise, they understand. They decide to "adopt" Lucy into their family. This setup satisfies everyone. Lucy is so happy that she doesn't marry either brother. After all, technically, they're all related now.
$EOC
$PUZZLE 67
Saul keeps putting off telling the Callaghans. He hopes that things will work out on their own but of course they don't. Everyone knows honesty is the best policy. Of course, if Lucy had told the truth at the beginning, there would have been no movie.
$EOC
$PUZZLE 68
Saul thinks he can help Lucy by telling more lies. This just makes things worse. Once everything is out in the open, Saul apologizes. It helps but it doesn't completely exonerate him. The Callaghans never completely trust him again.
$EOC
$PUZZLE 69
Saul is just too trusting. Everyone is charmed with her winsome ways and demure demeanor. Then, all are moved by her abject apology. Then, Jack asks her to become his beautiful bride. (Had enough alliteration? Thought so.)
