Now, let's not jump to conclusions. A lot of things happen at City Hall that these two could be happy about. They could just be happy that they don't need wheelchairs and can actually climb down the non-ADA-compliant stairs; although, by the looks of their footing, they may need wheelchairs soon.
I don't know what a bottle of "Spark" is, but I think we're getting subliminal messages here. Hanna and Sean just watched a sickening romantic movie "based on a book." Arguably, the most sickening romantic writer these days is Nicholas Sparks, who's book "Message in a Bottle" was adapted for the screen in 1999, starring Buttercup, Elliot Ness, Butch Cassidy, and Hagrid. I don't know... maybe it isn't sickening. I mean, according to Rotten Tomatoes, a staggering 32 percent of critics actually liked it.
I have no idea what movie they're seeing, but clearly it's a HUGE hit with the coveted 45-60 demographic!
When I Googled "movie with happy ending lifts us up takes us away," I got several listings for Blade Runner, which suits Sean just fine, but I'm not sure it is what Hanna had in mind. It's the classic chick flick dilemma. Sean will take her to see Mommy because he wants a goodnight kiss. But he may want to reconsider getting more serious unless he really likes boring movies.
Medical clinic and a matinee: The perfect date for Hanna... but poor Sean. His girl friend just invited herself to his urologist appointment. Maybe if he sinks lower into his piano bench, he can just disappear.
Well, the story of Hard Hearted Hanna and her deteriorating eyesight, dysfunctional daughter, inconvenient grandson, surrendering her license, searching for a shuttle, texting an elderly man, and drinking coffee has wrapped up so nicely. There certainly aren't any more questions to answer. As Toby and Mary conclude their denouement, we can look forward to a wonderful new adventure by Monday. I for one will never look at an elderly driver the same again. This story started while my wife and I were on vacation in Hawaii last September, and it is definitely time for another visit.
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the SEVENTH ANNUAL WORTHY AWARDS! Santa Royale's elite have gathered to celebrate the best of all things Mary Worth. But most importantly, the Condo Board has tabulated YOUR votes -- thousands of votes -- to determine this year's outstanding achievements.
But to get things started, what awards show would be complete without an OPENING NUMBER! Ladies and Gentlemen, put your hands together for the Edsels and their 1961 smash hit Rama Lama (Hanna) Ding Dong!
Each year, we begin by awarding the Aldo Kelrast Memorial Award to one lucky Mary Worth character who died this year. And so we are thrilled to present the award to Olive Taylor who -- wait, I'm sorry, what's that? It seems Olive was saved at the last minute by Mary Worth and has failed to qualify for the Aldo Kelrast Memorial Award this year.
That means that this year's prize goes to our runner up, the patient that Doctor Kapuht lost on the operating table. Congratulations! Just think, Olive. It could have been you!
And now, on to our awards.
The nominees for outstanding performance by a guest character are:
And the Worthy goes to:

Thank you Ian... Thank you. You may return to your seat. No, this way. Yes, we're all very proud of you and hope we get to see much more of you in the future. No, that's fine. You keep that. Just follow this lady back to your folding chair. That's the way.
And now, the nominees for Panel of the Year are:
And the Worthy for Outstanding Panel of the Year goes to:
The panel of the year is always a fan favorite, and usually features some sort of nudity, so it is a real thrill that tonight, modesty has prevailed!

Hey, you two. You haven't been paying attention. He picks her up and drops her off because SEAN -- DRIVES -- HER -- PLACES! Remember when you two buttinskies confiscated her driver's license and then got tired of buying groceries for her?
Mary continues to observe current interactions between Hanna and Sean, and has started sketching their encounters in her notebook. Mary is to the residents of Charterstone what Jane Goodall is to the chimpanzees of Tanzania.
Hanna seems almost sinister as she shoves Amy out the door. If, indeed, that is Amy. Her eyes are suddenly brown. Perhaps it is some sort of replicant in a carefully crafted latex face that is going to head over to Sean's apartment and eat him while Amy disposes of Gordon's body in the back dumpster. This story is getting totally out of hand.
And a gentle reminder that today is the last day to vote for the Worthy Awards. Now finish eating your Sean.
