Her name was Ellen not Helen.
I love that scene as well, and the song. I also love the scene in Not With My Sister You Don't. Where Jennifer's stomach is bothering her and Alex sits with her and rubs it and sings to her. A scene or two before that, Mallory goes off with Alex's friend, who howls, meaning that he's going to score with Mallory.
I also love the scene in Nick's Best Friend, where his dog, Scrapper is going to have to be put to sleep. Nick is alone in the vet's office, saying goodbye. That was so sad. In the next scene, Andy gives Nick a new puppy, even though it's Andy's birthday.
