→My Girl 2: and now the happy schmaltzy ending you've all been waiting for
Nick goes with Vada to find her mother's high school, but it had closed after a fire. They find her yearbook in a book warehouse and visit her old classmates. Sgt. Tanaka is a cop, who reveals Vada's mother was suspended 2 weeks for smoking. [[Ben Stein]] plays a wedding photographer who had a crush on Vada's mother. They visit an aging poet who doesn't remember Maggie and tells Vada people don't read poetry but watch television ("Don't be a poet; be a TV repairman.") Saddened at finding nothing substantial about her mother from these people, Vada is taken by Nick to La Brea tar pits to cheer her up ("at least I'm not extinct like they are", he quips). He tries on her ring and teases her by pretending to drop her treasured reminder of her dead best friend, who was a boy if not a boyfriend.

At last she tracks down the man who had married her mother before she was born; no, he's not her real father, but he did have great home movies of her beautiful mother and a great story about how they went to New York to become actors and got married outside a French restaurant. Finally Vada discovers that her mother's greatest accomplishment was giving birth to her.
