Judy's cleaning up the last of the dregs, and as she finishes and walks over to the picture board, she voice-overs: "There's all this love, that no one ever receives, like letters without stamps, or all the food that goes to waste that we just throw away." We fade over to a shot of Tiffany, sitting sad and alone at the restaurant. Then we fade over to Will Gluck, sitting in his truck looking straight ahead. "And there are people going to bed hungry, and lonely," Judy's voice-over continues. She pulls out a book from a drawer in the office, and studies a strip of photos tucked inside. They're of her and Mr. Married. Shot of Will, bolstering his nerve and reaching for the cell phone on his dashboard. The phone in Judy's office rings. Will fidgets anxiously while he waits for her to pick up. She looks again at the picture strip. Will looks at the phone, then clicks it off, letting out a deep breath. A slow, twangy version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" plays, so we know that Will is Judy's munchkin, not Mr. Married. Judy tears up the pictures, tosses them aside, and puts the book away. We next see her smiling widely, and as the camera pulls back, we see it's because she's holding the Polaroid in front of her face. She closes up the bookstore and strolls away, swinging her keys. The camera pans through the window to the picture board, where Judy's tacked her photo. The picture springs to life and Judy explains that she recommends Franny and Zooey "because she has a nervous breakdown, and it turns out to be a really good idea." Judy's putting herself back on the market, ladies and gentlemen, and this time she's going to be true to herself. Fade to black.
