Melrose Place s02e04 Episode Script
2393036 - Fire Power
Mmm Good morning.
Billy, not now, O.
K.
? I have got a meeting at 9:00, casting session at 11:30, and two reports due by 5:00.
Come on.
Slow down.
I can't, Billy.
I'm trying to fill Amanda's shoes.
Which is tough when she still insists on wearing them.
You sure that you're not burying yourself in your work to get over Keith? Oh, Billy.
The guy tried to rape you.
He committed suicide.
Which means it's over, and I can get on with my life.
Not if you're not ready.
I am ready.
I just want to forget it ever happened.
Promise me we won't talk about Keith anymore, not with each other or anyone else.
O.
K.
Thank you.
Well, you've topped even my most outrageous shopping binge.
They're worth twice what I paid for them.
I mean, I feel kind of bad.
Ed's place goes bankrupt, and I get a great deal out of it.
Oh, really, what makes you think you can sell these if he couldn't? Come on, look at them, they're classics.
All we gotta do is clean them up a little bit, we'll make $5,000 on the deal.
The guy at the auction said Auction? You mean you paid cash for these? No I got a cashier's check.
Don't worry about it.
There's plenty of money in the account.
Yeah, I put it there to pay our quarterly taxes.
And how am I supposed to know that? You keep the books.
You asked me to.
And you keep me in the dark all the time.
You have to give these back.
I'm sorry.
An auction is not a department store.
They don't take returns.
Well, listen, I sent that I.
R.
S.
check in this morning.
In big business, this is what you call a breakdown in communication.
And in little business, it's called a major screw-up.
Don't worry about it.
I'll take care of it.
There was a bidding frenzy at the auction, I'll find a buyer.
I hope so.
Look, I have a casting session at D and D for my photo shoot, so I'll see you tonight.
Hi.
Pictures, please.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Great.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Excuse me.
Alison, Alison.
Oh, hi.
Where the hell did you get all these Mickey Rourke wannabes? There's 50 models out there.
I know, I wanted Amanda to have a big selection.
Where is that list? I promised her an alphabetical cross-reference of models and agencies.
Oh, and your proofs were a major hit.
Amanda was very impressed.
Maybe you'll work at D and D full-time.
Slow down, you're getting me dizzy here.
Ever thought of switching to decaf? It's a natural buzz.
I'm in overdrive, trying to make up for being out of it for three weeks.
O.
K.
, you ready? Show time.
That'll be fine.
I'll hold.
Come in.
All ready out there? Yeah, I've got the casting list right here.
I'm on hold with Lane Photography.
When John picks up, remind him that he promised us a decent space this time, not that cave in Studio C.
O.
K.
So, any luck? They're all handsome and rugged, but none are Jake.
Jake does not want to model.
Trust me you just have to find someone else.
I know, it's just frustrating, he's perfect.
Ahem.
I got studio "A" and Randall Marks.
Randall Marks? He's the best lighting technician in town.
He's also booked months in advance.
Not next Friday.
Friday? Alison, we haven't even cast this yet.
The story board's still being revised.
Did you lock in studio time, too? Yes.
We'll have to cancel it.
I'll do it, it's my mistake.
This isn't a typo, Alison.
I'll handle it.
Lane Photography, please.
What am I supposed to tell the I.
R.
S.
, that my check bounced because Jake spent $3,000 on handlebars and wheels? Sounds like a good idea.
Oh, Jo, I'm sorry.
I've been so distracted lately.
It's PMS.
Post marriage syndrome.
Really, I worried for weeks I'd made this huge mistake.
Then I worried that I'd never get the chance to make it again.
No, I'm over being worried.
I'm past being depressed.
Right now I'm mad.
I mean, Michael's life is so together, and I have to start all over.
You need a date.
No, thank you.
The last date I had ended in divorce.
Nothing serious.
Just, you know, a night out with someone who cares about you and makes you feel fantastic.
So, what are you doing Saturday? There's got to be someone A friend who makes you feel comfortable.
Well There is Sam Towler.
Michael's friend? The extramarital kiss guy? Mm-hmm.
Ooh.
You liked him.
Mm-hmm, he came over this morning.
He wanted to make up.
Jo, he even bought a great bottle of wine.
I know, but I couldn't, really, there's too much history, and Michael got so crazy last time.
Michael's not around anymore.
Yeah.
I keep forgetting that.
You'll get it.
Yeah! Whoo! Yeah! Hey.
Hi.
Do you realize I'm not gonna get one minute's work out of these guys while you're here? I could leave.
And get me killed? No, thank you.
I'm glad you came by.
I had a meeting out this way.
This way? O.
K.
, I don't have a meeting, but I just wanted to ask you something.
Shoot.
A friend just gave me a great bottle of chardonnay, and I was thinking about serving it at dinner.
Maybe tomorrow night? I'd love to.
Really? Cool.
8:00? I'll be there.
Great.
This is great.
Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Yes! I'm sorry, I was on the phone with John Lane.
I wanted to admit my mistake to him personally and assure him it wouldn't happen again.
Good idea.
Now, if we don't hit a stop light between here and the Valley, you might make the meeting on time.
Alison, that file is the presentation for Lindy Toys.
Right.
The meeting is with Famous Family restaurants.
Oh.
I'm sorry.
It's been a crazy morning.
I'll be right back.
No.
You sit this meeting out.
Amanda I can do this job.
Really? I haven't been able to rely on you for weeks.
Look, I admit I got off to a rocky start, but give me a chance.
How many more will it take, Alison? I O.
K.
'd your absences during your personal situation, I covered for you when you couldn't make the deadline on your reports, and then you embarrassed yourself and the company by getting drunk during a client lunch.
Today you booked expensive studio time without approval.
Now this.
I'm trying.
But you are making mistakes.
You spend your day apologizing, and I spend mine doing damage control.
Amanda please.
I'm sorry, Alison.
Obviously, something's going on with you, and it's affecting your work.
I have to cut back on your responsibilities.
Hey, you bid on the bikes.
I just thought maybe you'd be interested in a deal, that's all.
There's nothing wrong with them.
I just need the cash, you know? Well, just give me your last bid, and I'll take a loss on it.
Come on, man, don't jerk me around, all right? Just give me a fair offer or forget the whole thing.
Maybe if you go to a dealer.
Well, you don't think that I tried that? I've been on the phone for six hours.
We're just going to have to stop payment on the check, that's all.
Stop pay That's not going to solve anything.
We still owe the taxes, and the mortgage and these invoices.
God, if we don't make this payment, I'm going to lose my whole investment.
You'll lose? Jake, I didn't mean that.
You're never going to let me forget this, are ya? I didn't want your money to begin with.
I'm just concerned.
Well, don't be concerned, all right? And don't tell me how to run my business.
This is my shop, and whatever happens, good or bad, I make it happen.
Good.
Then make it happen.
You have a week and a half.
Get the money.
Where's the Famous Family restaurant file? It's on the coffee table.
Oh, thank you.
Oh, I get it.
You're running around in circles because you figure Amanda can't hit a moving target.
If Amanda thinks demoting me is going to send me cowering into a corner, she's got another thing coming.
I am going to clear my backlog, do my research, get all my little marketing ducks in a row thank you And prove to her that I can do this job.
Atta girl! Good morning.
Hi, Billy.
Is Alison here? I'm over here.
I'm proofing the sales stats.
Well, you can stop.
I reworked the figures last night.
Get this in before the meeting? No problem.
See ya.
You can put your whip away.
She's off to the slave market.
I'm not asking her to do anything I didn't do when I had the job.
Can't you just ease up on her? I mean, she's doing the best she can.
I know.
That's what worries me.
Bathroom's all yours.
So, kiddo, what's your schedule? I'm swamped.
Madonna wants girl talk.
Cher wants to go work out, but I think I'll go check out waitress jobs instead.
Waitress jobs? Yeah, I saw some listed in the paper yesterday.
Plus, money's tight for you right now.
You shouldn't have to support me, too.
Besides, who knows? Maybe I'll decide to stay in L.
A.
Well, I guess I should be happy you're taking some initiative.
So, you got any plans for tonight? After pounding the pavement all day, I'll probably just soak my feet.
Why don't you catch a movie? Here.
My treat.
What? I remember this routine.
You've got a date.
No, I just thought maybe you'd want to get out.
O.
K.
I invited Sam to dinner, and we'd kind of like to be alone.
A date? You just split up with Michael it's too soon.
Better than too late.
Look, I deserve this after everything.
Michael's put me through.
You're not even divorced yet.
Syd, no offense, but I don't need a second opinion on how to live my life.
Michael, I am on rounds.
So am I.
Oh, no, I am still mad at you.
That's because we haven't made up yet.
That's because you came in late last night.
And you left early this morning.
O.
K.
, you win.
Not here, all right? Ooh, mmm, that's nice.
Tomorrow.
I'm off at 3:00.
I'm out at 5:00.
Our bed, 3:30.
You got it.
Ahem.
Yes, can I help you? I'm not sure who I need.
I've been to three offices already.
Let me see.
Oh, you need me.
Mm-hmm.
This seems like it's in order.
Mrs.
Cole will be transferred to County tomorrow.
That's the problem.
Mrs.
Cole is not an invalid.
Any nurse on her floor will tell you, she's full of life.
If we send her to County, she'll be in a hospital dorm with comatose roommates.
Look, I wish there was something that I could do, but I can't do anything unless her doctor comes I am her doctor.
Sorry.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm, uh I'm sorry, doctor, doctor, uh Dr.
Petrova.
Katya Petrova intern at large.
Uh, Matt Fielding at your social service.
Well, Matt Fielding, Can you find a proper home for Mrs.
Cole? Oh, God if you think it's chaotic in down in Emergency, you haven't spent a day here in Social Services.
Let me see what I can do.
Red tape is my specialty.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Thanks for meeting me.
We're friends, Billy.
If you call and say it's important, you know I'll be there for you.
We have been through a lot together.
Yes, we have.
Anyway, I want to talk to you about Alison.
Billy, if I didn't care for her, she would have been fired weeks ago.
Under the circumstances, I'd say I've been more than fair.
Yeah, well, that's just it.
You don't know all of the circumstances.
Keith was the one who was stalking her.
My God.
And it gets worse.
The night before he left L.
A.
, he tried to rape her.
What? Thank God Alison was strong enough.
She fought him off.
He got on the next plane to Seattle, and before the police could even get involved, he made up this whole cover story.
And they let him get away with it? The police did, but I didn't.
Like an idiot, I flew up to Seattle and I basically punched him out.
Always the hero.
Yeah, not this time.
The next day, he called her at D and D, pulled her out of an important meeting, and while they were on the telephone together, he committed suicide.
Oh, my God.
I knew Alison was upset, but she didn't say a word.
She doesn't want anybody to know.
She blames herself.
She's got her twisted sense of pride.
She thinks her personal problems shouldn't interfere with work.
But it is interfering, Billy.
What am I supposed to do? D and D promoted you because you were the best person for the job, and you promoted Alison for the same reason.
I just think if you can give her some space and time to recover you won't regret it.
Does she know you're here? No.
If she knew, she'd kill me.
Well, I wouldn't be much of a friend if I let that happen, would I? No, no.
Talk about a selective memory.
I did not fall asleep.
You did.
It was the best jazz festival of the season, and you slept through Tom Scott.
I I was just relaxing.
Relaxing? Your snores practically drowned out the saxophone.
I do remember you whispering in my ear, though.
I saw your face, and I thought what a beautiful way to wake up.
I almost kissed you that night.
I almost let you.
This is nice.
Yeah, it is.
I thought we were going to spend this whole night Michael-bashing, talking about your divorce.
No way.
I'm not about to waste good food, good wine, and good company on bad memories.
All right.
To making good memories.
Yes.
Hello.
If you're not here to buy a bike, go away.
We paid Mr.
Pittman $10,000 for this picture, and he never left his porch.
That's a hell of a deal.
Do you hate it? It's O.
K.
It's more than O.
K.
This picture tells a story in six words and a setting.
It's a concept, not jingles and slogans.
If you say so.
This is what I want to do with the Sagebrush Beer campaign A concept, a package You and the bike shop.
Anybody can make an ad with spandex bimbos and strobe lights, but we want to have real people, living real life.
I know there are a lot of guys who would just kill for this job, but, I don't know, it's just it's not me.
Are you kidding? I spent weeks trying to find the right model, but I can't find anyone who looks like he belongs here, because no one else does belong here.
There's no other Jake, there is no other bike shop.
Oh, come on.
It won't hurt you to hear my sales pitch.
I'll buy you a beer.
One beer, one pitch.
Got to get back to meet Jo.
O.
K.
Oh, can't buy a beer without my purse.
What? I can't believe I'm sitting with you.
I can't believe that we are here.
Where are we, Sam? Where we should have been all along.
You kissed back this time, I like that.
I I'm sorry.
Did I do something wrong? No.
No.
It's me.
It's too soon, Sam.
Too soon for what, Jane? We haven't done anything.
Come on, Sam.
We both know where this is headed, and I'm just not ready.
It's not you.
I mean, you know how much I care about you.
You've always been such a great friend.
But if we become more than that, I need to know that my attraction to you has nothing to do with Michael.
Michael? Being with you would be the ultimate stab at him, like revenge or evening the score.
And I need time to know that I want to be with you for us, not because I want to get back at Michael.
O.
K.
O.
K.
You take your time, and you be sure.
Just for the record, my attraction to you has got nothing to do with Michael.
Jake? Jake! Oh, my God.
Jake! Open up! Jake! Jake! Oh! Jake! Jake! Jake! What happened? Oh, my God.
Thank God you're alive.
I thought you were in there.
What happened? I came by to do the books, and there were flames.
We were gone for an hour.
Everything was fine.
Jake, if there's anything I can do No.
We'll handle this, Amanda.
I ought to deck you.
Excuse me? Where the hell were you? I was at Shooters.
Amanda was trying to give me one last hard sell on the beer campaign.
I almost took the money for the It doesn't matter now.
The hell it doesn't! I almost got killed trying to save you.
Hey, sleepyhead.
You got in late last night.
Try early this morning.
Syd, when I asked for privacy, I didn't mean you had to stay out all night.
So, how was it? It was nice.
Your smile says more than nice.
Ha ha ha.
O.
K.
, it was great.
God, I can't remember the last time somebody really listened to me.
I mean, somebody cared about my life.
Well, go on.
I sat through a bad movie for you twice.
I deserve details.
Let's just say I had more fun in one night with Sam than all last year with Michael.
Well, I got to go.
I'll see you tonight.
What do you want? Michael.
Is he home? Michael.
Sydney What are you doing here? Next time, call first.
I didn't mean to upset Kimberly.
She's not really upset.
Good.
I didn't think you were the kind of guy to let a woman decide who he sees and doesn't see.
Sydney, I don't like surprises, O.
K.
? O.
K.
I thought I'd get some exercise, skate the bike path? Well, it's a great day.
Have a good time.
Well, maybe I shouldn't.
I'm so exhausted from last night.
I spent six hours in a movie theater so Jane could have the place to herself.
Jane had a date? Yeah, she made a romantic dinner 'cause Sam is so special to her and everything.
Sam? Towler.
He's in town, working at that Beverly Canyon shopping center.
Jane is dating Sam? Yeah.
Isn't it great? Sydney, why are you telling me this? Because it's a good thing.
Jane's getting her life together, so she's happy.
So she won't waste time making you miserable.
That will make life easier for you and what's her name Kimberly? Yeah, Syd.
Her name is Kimberly.
Jo, don't be ridiculous.
There is no reason for you to come in.
I'll fill you in tonight.
Take care of Jake.
O.
K.
Bye.
How are they? Not great.
Jake lost everything.
It was an awful scene.
Poor Jake.
I guess that's why we carry insurance, right? Right.
Do you have changes or something? This is clerical work.
You shouldn't be doing this.
It's all I have left, Amanda.
Alison, I may have been hasty in my decision.
Obviously, you were overwhelmed in the new position, and I want to give you some more time to adjust, maybe start you out slowly, one client at a time.
Yesterday you didn't think I could spell my own name, and today you're giving me a client? What's going on? If you're looking for ulterior motives, I assure you, there are none.
I'm just being fair.
I know I might have been rough on you at first and maybe pushed you too much, but I've thought about it, and some things changed.
Like what? Alison, I am trying to help you.
Jus focus on Famous Family restaurants.
Learn everything you can about it, then you won't think Just focus, Alison, O.
K.
? I'm sorry, Mr.
Hanson.
It looks like a total loss.
But Mr.
Harris they'll be able to settle quickly, so that's good news, isn't it? I'll need to see the books Profit and loss records, inventory list, whatever you haven't lost in the fire.
It's the only way to judge the fair value of the business.
I have it right here.
Good.
Well, my whole life is burned to a crisp, but thank God Jo saved those precious books.
Well, uh, I'm finished here.
I'll come by your apartment this afternoon.
We'll work out the details.
Come on.
Let me take you to lunch.
Let's get out of here.
Well, at least I'm consistent, you know.
It's just too bad my old man couldn't be here to see me fail again.
You didn't fail.
It was an accident.
The only thing you can do now is move on.
You make a hell of a cheerleader, you know that? You don't need a cheerleader.
You need a reality check.
Look, there was a fire, you lost your shop.
Now you have choices, and whatever you do with that insurance check is up to you.
I told you what I'm going to do with that insurance check.
I'm going to give you your money back.
Why? So you can feel sorry for yourself for the rest of your life? Look, Jake, I made an investment.
I thought I had a partner who wanted to be in business, no matter what.
You don't get it, do you? This is not a setback.
This is a total disaster.
So do something about it.
Take that check and find a new shop and start over.
O.
K.
Ahem.
But this time, I'm not going to drag anyone down with me.
I'm going to do it my way, without a partner.
Place it over here and Oh, man.
Uh, hold this.
Michael, long time no see.
Who the hell do you think you are, dating my wife? How long has this been going on, Sam? Huh? Hey.
That's all right, I got it.
You go take care of that, go take care of that.
You sleeping with her? We had dinner, Michael, that's it.
Give me a break, Towler, I know what dinner means to you.
I told you to stay away from my wife.
You left her, Michael, Jane's not your wife anymore.
One more time.
Stay away from her, O.
K.
? Not if she wants to be with me.
Oh! Uhh! Now, you back off.
It's tough to do surgery with busted hands.
We've got a problem.
A problem? What? With the books? I have receipts and invoices for everything.
No, no, no, the books are very clear.
Your bike shop was in financial trouble, Mr.
Hanson.
Tell me about it.
We had one misunderstanding about a tax check, but other than that, it should be fine.
Miss Reynolds, I understand you're a partner in business.
I'm, uh, an investor, not a partner.
Still, you're a concerned party.
We received a preliminary report from the fire department.
They're listing the fire as suspicious.
What? Because of your current financial situation, Mr.
Hanson, we are going to conduct an arson investigation.
You think I burned down my own business? I just bought new bikes.
I was fixing one up last night.
These books indicate that the purchase of the new bikes was part of the financial problem.
So you're accusing me? No, he's not blaming you for anything, are you, Mr.
Harris? The purpose of an investigation is to find answers, not to accuse or dismiss anyone of guilt.
I spent thousands of dollars paying for insurance hoping I'd never have to use it.
Now, all of a sudden, I need help, and the people that I paid to protect me you want out of the deal? What kind of crap is that? Jake, calm down.
Hey, I want to tell you something.
I am not the crook here.
You guys are the crooks.
Regardless of what you think, Mr.
Hanson, our decision will be based on the investigation.
There you go.
Hi.
I was worried.
You didn't come home.
I needed to relax, sort some things out.
Problems at work? None, thanks to you.
Tell me, when exactly did you decide to betray me? Amanda told you we talked.
No.
I figured it out.
You had no right, Billy.
That was my secret.
You promised not to tell.
You promised, and I trusted you.
I had to, you're throwing away your career.
I just need time.
I'm fine.
You are not fine.
You're in pain.
Oh, great.
Now you're a psychologist.
Stop it.
Look at you, you're sitting in a bar, and you're up to your eyeballs in vodka.
Big deal.
I just came here to have a drink, like everybody else here.
Yeah, well, you're not like everybody else.
You drink every night, you drink alone.
What, you think I don't notice? You don't think I see the glass in the dish drain and the bottles in the trash? Now you're a psychologist and Sherlock Holmes.
You know, you think you're in this whole thing by yourself, but you're not, all right? It's killing me to see you like this, and I love you, and I'm trying to help you, but you're just sabotaging yourself all right? Now, I know you're hurt and you're You're angry, and you've every right to be.
What Keith did to you is is unforgivable.
But you got to fight back.
If you don't start pulling yourself together and fight for it, you're going to lose everything you love.
O.
K.
O.
K.
! Don't get up.
Sam, I thought you were going back to Dallas this morning.
Yeah, I am.
I got to talk to you first.
Oh, come in.
Look, for somebody who wants to keep Michael out of her life, why are you dragging him back in? What are you talking about? Michael came to the site yesterday, dukes up, ranting and raving about our dinner date.
Michael knew about our date? Yeah, look, I figured maybe you did just want to rub his nose in it, which is fine.
You gotta warn me next time.
Sam, I haven't seen Michael in weeks.
Somebody told him.
I think I know what happened.
Look, I'm sorry I got you stuck in the middle of this.
O.
K.
, I'm just worried about you.
Don't be.
I'll take care of it.
So, you'll keep in touch? Absolutely.
Good.
Bye.
Bye.
Oh, no.
Don't blame me.
I didn't tell Michael.
Don't lie to me, Sydney.
Why do you always blame me? Because it's usually your fault.
Oh, like last year, you and Mike were having problems, so you accused me, like his affair with Kimberly was my fault.
It had to be you.
Other than Jo, no one else knew I was seeing Sam.
Maybe Michael knew.
You sicked a big-time divorce lawyer on him.
Who'd blame him for hiring someone to spy on you? Michael, just relax.
Damn it.
Oh, baby, it's O.
K.
You know, it happens to all men.
Not all men, and never to me.
Sweetheart, you're just tense.
Do not patronize me.
This is not my fault.
Of course it's not your fault.
My God, Michael, you're going through a divorce.
You're dealing with your ex-best friend dating your ex-wife.
Oh, Sam and Jane have nothing to do with this.
Fine.
I'm just saying it's perfectly understandable.
Here we go.
Now we have to analyze the situation.
Everything's got to be sterilized and starched.
You know, if I didn't have to dig through your lab coat to get to your lace, this never would have happened.
What is that supposed to mean? I means it wouldn't hurt if you put out a little bit of effort.
You know, think about what makes me happy.
Michael, stop it, this is not about me.
This is about Jane It's always about Jane! You can deny it all you want, but you're still in love with her.
Hi, I've been looking for you.
Listen, a single room just opened at Glen Acres.
It's perfect for Mrs.
Cole.
Except that the waiting list at Glen Acres is a year long.
Yes, but look at how nicely.
Mrs.
Cole's name appears at the top of the list.
You got her in? Well, I showed her case to the board of directors and they agreed that her needs were urgent, so they accepted her.
It didn't hurt that I used to work with one of the directors at Social Services, but You went out of your way.
No, it was no big deal.
It is to Mrs.
Cole.
You did a wonderful thing for a beautiful woman.
I think you deserve a Katya Petrova gourmet dinner.
Uh, gourmet? Don't worry.
Russian cuisine is not all borscht and stale bread.
Okay, you're on.
Tomorrow night? Yeah.
Sure.
It's a date.
Uh, a date? So, I was surprised you called.
After my speech last night, I thought I'd find my bags on the porch.
You know me better than that.
You know I'd never pack for you.
Yeah, I'm sorry I came on so strong.
I didn't mean to hurt you.
It's just supposed to be tough love.
It was.
Ah, finally, fresh air.
I feel like I've been cooped up for months in the apartment, in the office Shooters.
And you have been.
I was afraid to come out and of Keith.
Afraid of everything.
I thought if I didn't go out, I'd be safe and nothing would hurt me.
Turns out, it was worse inside.
Keith is gone.
You're free.
It's not that simple, Billy.
I am not free.
Keith stole the part of me that thought I could handle anything.
He made me doubt my ability my judgment.
But he couldn't take away what I feel for you.
I miss you.
I miss you, too.
I miss the way our lives were before.
So, we can get it back.
I have to get myself back first.
What do you mean? I got to make some changes.
I need to stop drinking.
I thought it would make me feel better, but when the vodka wore off, it just it hurt like hell.
So, what can I do? Just be there for me.
I'm not going anywhere.
Well, you missed one hell of a demolition.
Everything I'm worth was worth fit into one dump truck.
I I had work to do.
You know, um Amanda's deadline for the ad campaign.
I know for a fact she hasn't even cast that yet.
Do you want to tell me the truth? I'm not sure I know the truth anymore.
Hey What's going on, Jo? I'm confused, O.
K.
? After what Mr.
Harris said.
What does my insurance agent got to do with anything? You think I torched the place.
I have to go to bed.
Good night, Jake.
Billy, not now, O.
K.
? I have got a meeting at 9:00, casting session at 11:30, and two reports due by 5:00.
Come on.
Slow down.
I can't, Billy.
I'm trying to fill Amanda's shoes.
Which is tough when she still insists on wearing them.
You sure that you're not burying yourself in your work to get over Keith? Oh, Billy.
The guy tried to rape you.
He committed suicide.
Which means it's over, and I can get on with my life.
Not if you're not ready.
I am ready.
I just want to forget it ever happened.
Promise me we won't talk about Keith anymore, not with each other or anyone else.
O.
K.
Thank you.
Well, you've topped even my most outrageous shopping binge.
They're worth twice what I paid for them.
I mean, I feel kind of bad.
Ed's place goes bankrupt, and I get a great deal out of it.
Oh, really, what makes you think you can sell these if he couldn't? Come on, look at them, they're classics.
All we gotta do is clean them up a little bit, we'll make $5,000 on the deal.
The guy at the auction said Auction? You mean you paid cash for these? No I got a cashier's check.
Don't worry about it.
There's plenty of money in the account.
Yeah, I put it there to pay our quarterly taxes.
And how am I supposed to know that? You keep the books.
You asked me to.
And you keep me in the dark all the time.
You have to give these back.
I'm sorry.
An auction is not a department store.
They don't take returns.
Well, listen, I sent that I.
R.
S.
check in this morning.
In big business, this is what you call a breakdown in communication.
And in little business, it's called a major screw-up.
Don't worry about it.
I'll take care of it.
There was a bidding frenzy at the auction, I'll find a buyer.
I hope so.
Look, I have a casting session at D and D for my photo shoot, so I'll see you tonight.
Hi.
Pictures, please.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Great.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Excuse me.
Alison, Alison.
Oh, hi.
Where the hell did you get all these Mickey Rourke wannabes? There's 50 models out there.
I know, I wanted Amanda to have a big selection.
Where is that list? I promised her an alphabetical cross-reference of models and agencies.
Oh, and your proofs were a major hit.
Amanda was very impressed.
Maybe you'll work at D and D full-time.
Slow down, you're getting me dizzy here.
Ever thought of switching to decaf? It's a natural buzz.
I'm in overdrive, trying to make up for being out of it for three weeks.
O.
K.
, you ready? Show time.
That'll be fine.
I'll hold.
Come in.
All ready out there? Yeah, I've got the casting list right here.
I'm on hold with Lane Photography.
When John picks up, remind him that he promised us a decent space this time, not that cave in Studio C.
O.
K.
So, any luck? They're all handsome and rugged, but none are Jake.
Jake does not want to model.
Trust me you just have to find someone else.
I know, it's just frustrating, he's perfect.
Ahem.
I got studio "A" and Randall Marks.
Randall Marks? He's the best lighting technician in town.
He's also booked months in advance.
Not next Friday.
Friday? Alison, we haven't even cast this yet.
The story board's still being revised.
Did you lock in studio time, too? Yes.
We'll have to cancel it.
I'll do it, it's my mistake.
This isn't a typo, Alison.
I'll handle it.
Lane Photography, please.
What am I supposed to tell the I.
R.
S.
, that my check bounced because Jake spent $3,000 on handlebars and wheels? Sounds like a good idea.
Oh, Jo, I'm sorry.
I've been so distracted lately.
It's PMS.
Post marriage syndrome.
Really, I worried for weeks I'd made this huge mistake.
Then I worried that I'd never get the chance to make it again.
No, I'm over being worried.
I'm past being depressed.
Right now I'm mad.
I mean, Michael's life is so together, and I have to start all over.
You need a date.
No, thank you.
The last date I had ended in divorce.
Nothing serious.
Just, you know, a night out with someone who cares about you and makes you feel fantastic.
So, what are you doing Saturday? There's got to be someone A friend who makes you feel comfortable.
Well There is Sam Towler.
Michael's friend? The extramarital kiss guy? Mm-hmm.
Ooh.
You liked him.
Mm-hmm, he came over this morning.
He wanted to make up.
Jo, he even bought a great bottle of wine.
I know, but I couldn't, really, there's too much history, and Michael got so crazy last time.
Michael's not around anymore.
Yeah.
I keep forgetting that.
You'll get it.
Yeah! Whoo! Yeah! Hey.
Hi.
Do you realize I'm not gonna get one minute's work out of these guys while you're here? I could leave.
And get me killed? No, thank you.
I'm glad you came by.
I had a meeting out this way.
This way? O.
K.
, I don't have a meeting, but I just wanted to ask you something.
Shoot.
A friend just gave me a great bottle of chardonnay, and I was thinking about serving it at dinner.
Maybe tomorrow night? I'd love to.
Really? Cool.
8:00? I'll be there.
Great.
This is great.
Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Yes! I'm sorry, I was on the phone with John Lane.
I wanted to admit my mistake to him personally and assure him it wouldn't happen again.
Good idea.
Now, if we don't hit a stop light between here and the Valley, you might make the meeting on time.
Alison, that file is the presentation for Lindy Toys.
Right.
The meeting is with Famous Family restaurants.
Oh.
I'm sorry.
It's been a crazy morning.
I'll be right back.
No.
You sit this meeting out.
Amanda I can do this job.
Really? I haven't been able to rely on you for weeks.
Look, I admit I got off to a rocky start, but give me a chance.
How many more will it take, Alison? I O.
K.
'd your absences during your personal situation, I covered for you when you couldn't make the deadline on your reports, and then you embarrassed yourself and the company by getting drunk during a client lunch.
Today you booked expensive studio time without approval.
Now this.
I'm trying.
But you are making mistakes.
You spend your day apologizing, and I spend mine doing damage control.
Amanda please.
I'm sorry, Alison.
Obviously, something's going on with you, and it's affecting your work.
I have to cut back on your responsibilities.
Hey, you bid on the bikes.
I just thought maybe you'd be interested in a deal, that's all.
There's nothing wrong with them.
I just need the cash, you know? Well, just give me your last bid, and I'll take a loss on it.
Come on, man, don't jerk me around, all right? Just give me a fair offer or forget the whole thing.
Maybe if you go to a dealer.
Well, you don't think that I tried that? I've been on the phone for six hours.
We're just going to have to stop payment on the check, that's all.
Stop pay That's not going to solve anything.
We still owe the taxes, and the mortgage and these invoices.
God, if we don't make this payment, I'm going to lose my whole investment.
You'll lose? Jake, I didn't mean that.
You're never going to let me forget this, are ya? I didn't want your money to begin with.
I'm just concerned.
Well, don't be concerned, all right? And don't tell me how to run my business.
This is my shop, and whatever happens, good or bad, I make it happen.
Good.
Then make it happen.
You have a week and a half.
Get the money.
Where's the Famous Family restaurant file? It's on the coffee table.
Oh, thank you.
Oh, I get it.
You're running around in circles because you figure Amanda can't hit a moving target.
If Amanda thinks demoting me is going to send me cowering into a corner, she's got another thing coming.
I am going to clear my backlog, do my research, get all my little marketing ducks in a row thank you And prove to her that I can do this job.
Atta girl! Good morning.
Hi, Billy.
Is Alison here? I'm over here.
I'm proofing the sales stats.
Well, you can stop.
I reworked the figures last night.
Get this in before the meeting? No problem.
See ya.
You can put your whip away.
She's off to the slave market.
I'm not asking her to do anything I didn't do when I had the job.
Can't you just ease up on her? I mean, she's doing the best she can.
I know.
That's what worries me.
Bathroom's all yours.
So, kiddo, what's your schedule? I'm swamped.
Madonna wants girl talk.
Cher wants to go work out, but I think I'll go check out waitress jobs instead.
Waitress jobs? Yeah, I saw some listed in the paper yesterday.
Plus, money's tight for you right now.
You shouldn't have to support me, too.
Besides, who knows? Maybe I'll decide to stay in L.
A.
Well, I guess I should be happy you're taking some initiative.
So, you got any plans for tonight? After pounding the pavement all day, I'll probably just soak my feet.
Why don't you catch a movie? Here.
My treat.
What? I remember this routine.
You've got a date.
No, I just thought maybe you'd want to get out.
O.
K.
I invited Sam to dinner, and we'd kind of like to be alone.
A date? You just split up with Michael it's too soon.
Better than too late.
Look, I deserve this after everything.
Michael's put me through.
You're not even divorced yet.
Syd, no offense, but I don't need a second opinion on how to live my life.
Michael, I am on rounds.
So am I.
Oh, no, I am still mad at you.
That's because we haven't made up yet.
That's because you came in late last night.
And you left early this morning.
O.
K.
, you win.
Not here, all right? Ooh, mmm, that's nice.
Tomorrow.
I'm off at 3:00.
I'm out at 5:00.
Our bed, 3:30.
You got it.
Ahem.
Yes, can I help you? I'm not sure who I need.
I've been to three offices already.
Let me see.
Oh, you need me.
Mm-hmm.
This seems like it's in order.
Mrs.
Cole will be transferred to County tomorrow.
That's the problem.
Mrs.
Cole is not an invalid.
Any nurse on her floor will tell you, she's full of life.
If we send her to County, she'll be in a hospital dorm with comatose roommates.
Look, I wish there was something that I could do, but I can't do anything unless her doctor comes I am her doctor.
Sorry.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm, uh I'm sorry, doctor, doctor, uh Dr.
Petrova.
Katya Petrova intern at large.
Uh, Matt Fielding at your social service.
Well, Matt Fielding, Can you find a proper home for Mrs.
Cole? Oh, God if you think it's chaotic in down in Emergency, you haven't spent a day here in Social Services.
Let me see what I can do.
Red tape is my specialty.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Thanks for meeting me.
We're friends, Billy.
If you call and say it's important, you know I'll be there for you.
We have been through a lot together.
Yes, we have.
Anyway, I want to talk to you about Alison.
Billy, if I didn't care for her, she would have been fired weeks ago.
Under the circumstances, I'd say I've been more than fair.
Yeah, well, that's just it.
You don't know all of the circumstances.
Keith was the one who was stalking her.
My God.
And it gets worse.
The night before he left L.
A.
, he tried to rape her.
What? Thank God Alison was strong enough.
She fought him off.
He got on the next plane to Seattle, and before the police could even get involved, he made up this whole cover story.
And they let him get away with it? The police did, but I didn't.
Like an idiot, I flew up to Seattle and I basically punched him out.
Always the hero.
Yeah, not this time.
The next day, he called her at D and D, pulled her out of an important meeting, and while they were on the telephone together, he committed suicide.
Oh, my God.
I knew Alison was upset, but she didn't say a word.
She doesn't want anybody to know.
She blames herself.
She's got her twisted sense of pride.
She thinks her personal problems shouldn't interfere with work.
But it is interfering, Billy.
What am I supposed to do? D and D promoted you because you were the best person for the job, and you promoted Alison for the same reason.
I just think if you can give her some space and time to recover you won't regret it.
Does she know you're here? No.
If she knew, she'd kill me.
Well, I wouldn't be much of a friend if I let that happen, would I? No, no.
Talk about a selective memory.
I did not fall asleep.
You did.
It was the best jazz festival of the season, and you slept through Tom Scott.
I I was just relaxing.
Relaxing? Your snores practically drowned out the saxophone.
I do remember you whispering in my ear, though.
I saw your face, and I thought what a beautiful way to wake up.
I almost kissed you that night.
I almost let you.
This is nice.
Yeah, it is.
I thought we were going to spend this whole night Michael-bashing, talking about your divorce.
No way.
I'm not about to waste good food, good wine, and good company on bad memories.
All right.
To making good memories.
Yes.
Hello.
If you're not here to buy a bike, go away.
We paid Mr.
Pittman $10,000 for this picture, and he never left his porch.
That's a hell of a deal.
Do you hate it? It's O.
K.
It's more than O.
K.
This picture tells a story in six words and a setting.
It's a concept, not jingles and slogans.
If you say so.
This is what I want to do with the Sagebrush Beer campaign A concept, a package You and the bike shop.
Anybody can make an ad with spandex bimbos and strobe lights, but we want to have real people, living real life.
I know there are a lot of guys who would just kill for this job, but, I don't know, it's just it's not me.
Are you kidding? I spent weeks trying to find the right model, but I can't find anyone who looks like he belongs here, because no one else does belong here.
There's no other Jake, there is no other bike shop.
Oh, come on.
It won't hurt you to hear my sales pitch.
I'll buy you a beer.
One beer, one pitch.
Got to get back to meet Jo.
O.
K.
Oh, can't buy a beer without my purse.
What? I can't believe I'm sitting with you.
I can't believe that we are here.
Where are we, Sam? Where we should have been all along.
You kissed back this time, I like that.
I I'm sorry.
Did I do something wrong? No.
No.
It's me.
It's too soon, Sam.
Too soon for what, Jane? We haven't done anything.
Come on, Sam.
We both know where this is headed, and I'm just not ready.
It's not you.
I mean, you know how much I care about you.
You've always been such a great friend.
But if we become more than that, I need to know that my attraction to you has nothing to do with Michael.
Michael? Being with you would be the ultimate stab at him, like revenge or evening the score.
And I need time to know that I want to be with you for us, not because I want to get back at Michael.
O.
K.
O.
K.
You take your time, and you be sure.
Just for the record, my attraction to you has got nothing to do with Michael.
Jake? Jake! Oh, my God.
Jake! Open up! Jake! Jake! Oh! Jake! Jake! Jake! What happened? Oh, my God.
Thank God you're alive.
I thought you were in there.
What happened? I came by to do the books, and there were flames.
We were gone for an hour.
Everything was fine.
Jake, if there's anything I can do No.
We'll handle this, Amanda.
I ought to deck you.
Excuse me? Where the hell were you? I was at Shooters.
Amanda was trying to give me one last hard sell on the beer campaign.
I almost took the money for the It doesn't matter now.
The hell it doesn't! I almost got killed trying to save you.
Hey, sleepyhead.
You got in late last night.
Try early this morning.
Syd, when I asked for privacy, I didn't mean you had to stay out all night.
So, how was it? It was nice.
Your smile says more than nice.
Ha ha ha.
O.
K.
, it was great.
God, I can't remember the last time somebody really listened to me.
I mean, somebody cared about my life.
Well, go on.
I sat through a bad movie for you twice.
I deserve details.
Let's just say I had more fun in one night with Sam than all last year with Michael.
Well, I got to go.
I'll see you tonight.
What do you want? Michael.
Is he home? Michael.
Sydney What are you doing here? Next time, call first.
I didn't mean to upset Kimberly.
She's not really upset.
Good.
I didn't think you were the kind of guy to let a woman decide who he sees and doesn't see.
Sydney, I don't like surprises, O.
K.
? O.
K.
I thought I'd get some exercise, skate the bike path? Well, it's a great day.
Have a good time.
Well, maybe I shouldn't.
I'm so exhausted from last night.
I spent six hours in a movie theater so Jane could have the place to herself.
Jane had a date? Yeah, she made a romantic dinner 'cause Sam is so special to her and everything.
Sam? Towler.
He's in town, working at that Beverly Canyon shopping center.
Jane is dating Sam? Yeah.
Isn't it great? Sydney, why are you telling me this? Because it's a good thing.
Jane's getting her life together, so she's happy.
So she won't waste time making you miserable.
That will make life easier for you and what's her name Kimberly? Yeah, Syd.
Her name is Kimberly.
Jo, don't be ridiculous.
There is no reason for you to come in.
I'll fill you in tonight.
Take care of Jake.
O.
K.
Bye.
How are they? Not great.
Jake lost everything.
It was an awful scene.
Poor Jake.
I guess that's why we carry insurance, right? Right.
Do you have changes or something? This is clerical work.
You shouldn't be doing this.
It's all I have left, Amanda.
Alison, I may have been hasty in my decision.
Obviously, you were overwhelmed in the new position, and I want to give you some more time to adjust, maybe start you out slowly, one client at a time.
Yesterday you didn't think I could spell my own name, and today you're giving me a client? What's going on? If you're looking for ulterior motives, I assure you, there are none.
I'm just being fair.
I know I might have been rough on you at first and maybe pushed you too much, but I've thought about it, and some things changed.
Like what? Alison, I am trying to help you.
Jus focus on Famous Family restaurants.
Learn everything you can about it, then you won't think Just focus, Alison, O.
K.
? I'm sorry, Mr.
Hanson.
It looks like a total loss.
But Mr.
Harris they'll be able to settle quickly, so that's good news, isn't it? I'll need to see the books Profit and loss records, inventory list, whatever you haven't lost in the fire.
It's the only way to judge the fair value of the business.
I have it right here.
Good.
Well, my whole life is burned to a crisp, but thank God Jo saved those precious books.
Well, uh, I'm finished here.
I'll come by your apartment this afternoon.
We'll work out the details.
Come on.
Let me take you to lunch.
Let's get out of here.
Well, at least I'm consistent, you know.
It's just too bad my old man couldn't be here to see me fail again.
You didn't fail.
It was an accident.
The only thing you can do now is move on.
You make a hell of a cheerleader, you know that? You don't need a cheerleader.
You need a reality check.
Look, there was a fire, you lost your shop.
Now you have choices, and whatever you do with that insurance check is up to you.
I told you what I'm going to do with that insurance check.
I'm going to give you your money back.
Why? So you can feel sorry for yourself for the rest of your life? Look, Jake, I made an investment.
I thought I had a partner who wanted to be in business, no matter what.
You don't get it, do you? This is not a setback.
This is a total disaster.
So do something about it.
Take that check and find a new shop and start over.
O.
K.
Ahem.
But this time, I'm not going to drag anyone down with me.
I'm going to do it my way, without a partner.
Place it over here and Oh, man.
Uh, hold this.
Michael, long time no see.
Who the hell do you think you are, dating my wife? How long has this been going on, Sam? Huh? Hey.
That's all right, I got it.
You go take care of that, go take care of that.
You sleeping with her? We had dinner, Michael, that's it.
Give me a break, Towler, I know what dinner means to you.
I told you to stay away from my wife.
You left her, Michael, Jane's not your wife anymore.
One more time.
Stay away from her, O.
K.
? Not if she wants to be with me.
Oh! Uhh! Now, you back off.
It's tough to do surgery with busted hands.
We've got a problem.
A problem? What? With the books? I have receipts and invoices for everything.
No, no, no, the books are very clear.
Your bike shop was in financial trouble, Mr.
Hanson.
Tell me about it.
We had one misunderstanding about a tax check, but other than that, it should be fine.
Miss Reynolds, I understand you're a partner in business.
I'm, uh, an investor, not a partner.
Still, you're a concerned party.
We received a preliminary report from the fire department.
They're listing the fire as suspicious.
What? Because of your current financial situation, Mr.
Hanson, we are going to conduct an arson investigation.
You think I burned down my own business? I just bought new bikes.
I was fixing one up last night.
These books indicate that the purchase of the new bikes was part of the financial problem.
So you're accusing me? No, he's not blaming you for anything, are you, Mr.
Harris? The purpose of an investigation is to find answers, not to accuse or dismiss anyone of guilt.
I spent thousands of dollars paying for insurance hoping I'd never have to use it.
Now, all of a sudden, I need help, and the people that I paid to protect me you want out of the deal? What kind of crap is that? Jake, calm down.
Hey, I want to tell you something.
I am not the crook here.
You guys are the crooks.
Regardless of what you think, Mr.
Hanson, our decision will be based on the investigation.
There you go.
Hi.
I was worried.
You didn't come home.
I needed to relax, sort some things out.
Problems at work? None, thanks to you.
Tell me, when exactly did you decide to betray me? Amanda told you we talked.
No.
I figured it out.
You had no right, Billy.
That was my secret.
You promised not to tell.
You promised, and I trusted you.
I had to, you're throwing away your career.
I just need time.
I'm fine.
You are not fine.
You're in pain.
Oh, great.
Now you're a psychologist.
Stop it.
Look at you, you're sitting in a bar, and you're up to your eyeballs in vodka.
Big deal.
I just came here to have a drink, like everybody else here.
Yeah, well, you're not like everybody else.
You drink every night, you drink alone.
What, you think I don't notice? You don't think I see the glass in the dish drain and the bottles in the trash? Now you're a psychologist and Sherlock Holmes.
You know, you think you're in this whole thing by yourself, but you're not, all right? It's killing me to see you like this, and I love you, and I'm trying to help you, but you're just sabotaging yourself all right? Now, I know you're hurt and you're You're angry, and you've every right to be.
What Keith did to you is is unforgivable.
But you got to fight back.
If you don't start pulling yourself together and fight for it, you're going to lose everything you love.
O.
K.
O.
K.
! Don't get up.
Sam, I thought you were going back to Dallas this morning.
Yeah, I am.
I got to talk to you first.
Oh, come in.
Look, for somebody who wants to keep Michael out of her life, why are you dragging him back in? What are you talking about? Michael came to the site yesterday, dukes up, ranting and raving about our dinner date.
Michael knew about our date? Yeah, look, I figured maybe you did just want to rub his nose in it, which is fine.
You gotta warn me next time.
Sam, I haven't seen Michael in weeks.
Somebody told him.
I think I know what happened.
Look, I'm sorry I got you stuck in the middle of this.
O.
K.
, I'm just worried about you.
Don't be.
I'll take care of it.
So, you'll keep in touch? Absolutely.
Good.
Bye.
Bye.
Oh, no.
Don't blame me.
I didn't tell Michael.
Don't lie to me, Sydney.
Why do you always blame me? Because it's usually your fault.
Oh, like last year, you and Mike were having problems, so you accused me, like his affair with Kimberly was my fault.
It had to be you.
Other than Jo, no one else knew I was seeing Sam.
Maybe Michael knew.
You sicked a big-time divorce lawyer on him.
Who'd blame him for hiring someone to spy on you? Michael, just relax.
Damn it.
Oh, baby, it's O.
K.
You know, it happens to all men.
Not all men, and never to me.
Sweetheart, you're just tense.
Do not patronize me.
This is not my fault.
Of course it's not your fault.
My God, Michael, you're going through a divorce.
You're dealing with your ex-best friend dating your ex-wife.
Oh, Sam and Jane have nothing to do with this.
Fine.
I'm just saying it's perfectly understandable.
Here we go.
Now we have to analyze the situation.
Everything's got to be sterilized and starched.
You know, if I didn't have to dig through your lab coat to get to your lace, this never would have happened.
What is that supposed to mean? I means it wouldn't hurt if you put out a little bit of effort.
You know, think about what makes me happy.
Michael, stop it, this is not about me.
This is about Jane It's always about Jane! You can deny it all you want, but you're still in love with her.
Hi, I've been looking for you.
Listen, a single room just opened at Glen Acres.
It's perfect for Mrs.
Cole.
Except that the waiting list at Glen Acres is a year long.
Yes, but look at how nicely.
Mrs.
Cole's name appears at the top of the list.
You got her in? Well, I showed her case to the board of directors and they agreed that her needs were urgent, so they accepted her.
It didn't hurt that I used to work with one of the directors at Social Services, but You went out of your way.
No, it was no big deal.
It is to Mrs.
Cole.
You did a wonderful thing for a beautiful woman.
I think you deserve a Katya Petrova gourmet dinner.
Uh, gourmet? Don't worry.
Russian cuisine is not all borscht and stale bread.
Okay, you're on.
Tomorrow night? Yeah.
Sure.
It's a date.
Uh, a date? So, I was surprised you called.
After my speech last night, I thought I'd find my bags on the porch.
You know me better than that.
You know I'd never pack for you.
Yeah, I'm sorry I came on so strong.
I didn't mean to hurt you.
It's just supposed to be tough love.
It was.
Ah, finally, fresh air.
I feel like I've been cooped up for months in the apartment, in the office Shooters.
And you have been.
I was afraid to come out and of Keith.
Afraid of everything.
I thought if I didn't go out, I'd be safe and nothing would hurt me.
Turns out, it was worse inside.
Keith is gone.
You're free.
It's not that simple, Billy.
I am not free.
Keith stole the part of me that thought I could handle anything.
He made me doubt my ability my judgment.
But he couldn't take away what I feel for you.
I miss you.
I miss you, too.
I miss the way our lives were before.
So, we can get it back.
I have to get myself back first.
What do you mean? I got to make some changes.
I need to stop drinking.
I thought it would make me feel better, but when the vodka wore off, it just it hurt like hell.
So, what can I do? Just be there for me.
I'm not going anywhere.
Well, you missed one hell of a demolition.
Everything I'm worth was worth fit into one dump truck.
I I had work to do.
You know, um Amanda's deadline for the ad campaign.
I know for a fact she hasn't even cast that yet.
Do you want to tell me the truth? I'm not sure I know the truth anymore.
Hey What's going on, Jo? I'm confused, O.
K.
? After what Mr.
Harris said.
What does my insurance agent got to do with anything? You think I torched the place.
I have to go to bed.
Good night, Jake.
