Melrose Place s03e22 Episode Script
2394084 - Breakfast at Tiffany's, Dinner at Eight
Why do you have to go to New York? Because if I don't, Kimberly, Dr.
Steele won't see Amanda.
You don't know that.
Yes, I do know that, he's the best oncologist in the country, and he stopped taking patients.
So what, the two of you gonna camp out in his waiting room bearing gifts? Hey, whatever works.
Michael, no one in his position is gonna take on a new patient, and put them on a new protocol under the best of circumstances.
It's a waste of your time and you're giving Amanda false hope.
Not if it works.
Okay, fine, so Amanda has to go.
Why do you have to be her personal escort? Because I know the case intimately.
That's your problem, Michael.
No, Kimberly.
It's yours.
Well, that's about everything.
So, basically you're gonna be incommunicado for two days.
As far as D&D is concerned, yes.
If I haven't covered all the bases, handle it.
And don't tell anyone where I am.
No problem.
This is where I'll be staying, and unless it's a dire emergency, I don't expect to hear from you.
Just take care of yourself.
Don't even think about the office.
Every time I do that, I come back to either a mutiny or a catastrophe.
Morning.
Hello.
We got 20 minutes to get to the airport.
I'm ready.
Have a good flight.
Thanks.
Hey, second opinions are always a good idea.
Yeah, they are.
Well, see ya.
So long.
Second opinions.
More people confirming I don't have a snowball's chance in hell.
Like, think about it logically.
There's no way that Rawlings could have known you were an eyewitness to Davis being beaten up.
Maybe he put a bug in my bag, or he tapped my phone.
I mean, he could be spying on us now.
Detective Rawlings, if you can hear me, go to hell! Why should he suspect you? Just because you have a camera? Yes.
Look, if he knew, why would he have come here asking if you'd left the car? Look, he doesn't even know that there are photographs and negatives, let alone, that you took them and that you gave them to me.
Have you figured out what to do with them yet? No.
Some drug dealer gets beat up, and suddenly, they're not photographs anymore.
They're evidence of police brutality.
And it's not just the precinct either.
It's a good ol' boys club.
And the Good Samaritan who shot the Rodney King video? His life is hell.
If Davis dies, it's manslaughter.
Why do we have to do anything with them? No one's asking for them.
Yet.
You know, there's a big part of me that says, "You've already had enough trouble in your life.
" My God, Matt, the guy's in a coma.
Relax, it's all gonna work out, okay? How can you be so sure? Because we haven't done anything wrong.
Well, I hope for once that's enough.
What is this? It's your new life.
From now on, I'm dedicating my life to making yours easier.
I'm gonna cook, clean, and do all your errands.
You don't even have to pay me anything.
Coffee? Isn't that my robe? Yeah, but Rikki has mine.
Pancakes? Cereal? I don't want any of this.
You don't owe me, and I don't need a personal whipping girl.
I think the term is personal assistant, Jane.
Eggs? No.
All I want is for both of us to put the past behind us and get on with our lives.
That's what we're doing.
I know that once you get used to the idea, you're gonna love having a personal slave.
You're not my slave, Sydney.
You're my cross to bear.
In summary, our Christmas bookings never materialized, and our ten million dollar campaign was a complete washout.
Okay.
Targeting urban professionals was a big mistake.
We should have gone after the family market.
But, if we work quickly, we can still book Easter.
Easter? Yes.
So, in other words, you want a new campaign.
Yesterday.
I see.
Where's Amanda? She's in New York on business for a couple of days.
But, we're her eyes and ears, and in constant contact with her.
Good.
And it goes without saying, that we have her complete support to authorize a full campaign on your behalf.
Great.
Then I'll see you tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow morning? For the new presentation.
Is that a problem? No.
Not in the slightest.
Fine.
We have to call Amanda now.
And say what? That you've been gone two hours, we've already screwed up? Billy.
What? Like we're gonna be more creative if Amanda tells us to be? You're right.
I'll get the coffee.
I'll put graphics on alert.
What, we need them for the presentation? No.
My resume.
That's not funny.
John, hi.
Sorry to bother you at work.
Uh, no problem.
What's up? I need your help with something.
Sure.
There's a cop on the force trying to set me up.
What? His name's Bob Wilkens.
He hates gays, hates the idea of working with them.
He's even on record as saying if push comes to shove, if you're gay, you're not man enough to do what's necessary.
What's that mean? I don't know.
Wilkens was a street cop, he went to Internal Affairs.
Now, he got a promotion, and now he runs the place.
Nothing like failing up.
Yeah.
Well, he tried to hang me out to dry once by not calling in backup on a drug bust.
And now, he's got another chance.
What do you mean? Davis is going down the tubes fast.
Your friend Jo may have gotten out of the car, may have seen something that might look bad if you don't understand the situation.
Davis is a junkie, Matt, but it doesn't matter.
If there are pictures and Wilkens gets a hold of them, my career is over.
I have to know if your friend took pictures.
I I don't know.
My whole future is riding on this, and so, in a way, are a lot of other people's.
I'll see what I can do.
Thanks.
Hello, I'm Amanda Woodward.
This is Dr.
Michael Mancini.
Anything you could do to speed up our check-in would be appreciated.
Our flight from L.
A.
was delayed three hours.
Right away, Madam.
Keys.
Uh, these are to the same room.
That was our understanding.
Well, I'm sorry, there's been a mistake.
We'll need two rooms.
You'll have to change it.
I'm sorry, Ms.
Woodward, but we're fully booked.
Excuse me, I'm Dr.
Mancini.
There must keep something you keep for emergencies.
I'm sorry, Doctor, but we don't.
All right, look.
It's late.
You take the room.
I'll leave and go try to find another hotel.
Or, um, we could share it.
That way, we wouldn't get lost finding our way to Steele's, and you know, you'd have a friend nearby.
This is very unorthodox.
Oh, I agree, but I promise, I'll behave.
Well, you did escort me here, and you didn't have to.
Does the room have two beds? Yes, Ma'am.
Let's go.
Sir, I told you when you called that there was only one room.
Yeah, I know.
Don't sweat it.
I don't know about this.
Hey, if I can forgive Sydney, you probably can, too.
Jake, if she has her old job back, it'll help her deal with her problems, instead of running away from them.
Isn't that your motto? Yeah.
I know it's a tall order.
That's an understatement.
Sydney didn't trash your bar, Rikki did, and as for Abbott, he had her under his spell.
She was vulnerable and suggestible.
So, she doesn't have to take responsibility? Yes, she does, but she's paid for it.
Please, Jake? Even if it's just for a trial run.
Okay, fine.
If she screws up, she's out the door for good.
I really appreciate it.
Just don't tell me I won't regret it.
Yes, operator, I'm trying to reach.
Dr.
Michael Mancini, please.
Dr.
Michael Mancini? Allow me to check the register.
One moment please.
Hello? Hello? Is anybody there? Hello? Color separation is due in at 8:00.
The printer picks up at 8:15 with a one-hour turnaround.
The client arrives at 10:00, and proceeds to be bowled over by your brilliant copy.
I wrote brilliant copy? Yes, you had a wave of inspiration at 3 A.
M.
That's funny.
That's exactly the time I had that triple espresso.
I haven't stayed up all night since college.
That's not true.
We should be very proud of ourselves.
This campaign is an intelligent, fresh approach to family life, and I'm sure Franklin will agree.
Yeah, if we don't fall asleep presenting it.
You know, a little positive mental attitude wouldn't hurt.
Do you know what kind of rush charges we've racked up? No.
Yeah, well, they're triple the usual amount, and nobody's officially okayed them.
So, I'm positive if Franklin doesn't love it, we're dead.
We've given this 100% effort.
If it doesn't work, we can walk away with a clean conscience.
And a secure place in the unemployment line.
I'm gonna go change.
Uh, there's a Dr.
Michael Mancini and an Amanda Woodward here from California, without an appointment, here's her chart.
They flew 3,000 miles hoping I'd see them? Apparently.
And there's a Dr.
Kimberly Shaw from Wilshire Memorial in L.
A.
on line one.
She says it's urgent.
Hello? Dr.
Steele, hello.
I'm calling about Dr.
Michael Mancini, who's in New York at the moment, and actually probably on his way to see you right now.
You don't say.
Dr.
Mancini is trying to get a new patient on your LU-87 protocol, but, he's got an agenda.
Yeah? And what might that be? To be the primary physician in L.
A.
, fake poor control standards and say you told him to.
That's a pretty wild accusation.
What does he gain? You looking bad and losing your funding.
Then he starts a similar study at Wilshire, citing his experience.
Oh, he is very, very sneaky.
Beware, Doctor.
Thank you.
I appreciate the warning.
Yes, Doctor? Tell Dr.
Mancini and Ms.
Woodward that I won't see them.
Not today, and not tomorrow.
Tell them I'm taking early retirement.
Give the standard list of referring physicians.
Dr.
Mancini? Mm-hmm.
I'm sorry, but Dr.
Steele won't be taking on any new patients at this time.
He's taking early retirement, and it really wouldn't be fair to either party.
Here's a list of referrals, both here and in Los Angeles.
Everyone on that list is a stellar oncologist.
You know, you don't understand.
Dr.
Steele is going to see this patient.
Michael.
It's not negotiable.
Now, before I tell you where to stick your referrals, you go in there and you tell Steele This is New York.
We eat worms like you for breakfast.
Now, why don't you be a good little Angeleno and leave? He may not see us today, but I'm not taking no for an answer.
I'll be back.
And I'll be here.
I knew this wouldn't work.
Yes, it will.
Just not today.
Come on, I'll take you out to breakfast.
Anywhere you wanna go, on me.
Oh, Breakfast At Tiffany's was always my favorite movie.
Like the movie says, nothing bad could ever happen to you in a place like this.
Oh, look! May I help you? Yes, um, we're looking for something unbelievably unique for the lady.
I see.
Do you have a price in mind? Sky's the limit.
Oh, what about that one? Ahh! The lady has exquisite taste.
Everything about the lady is exquisite.
Could you change the clasp? I don't see it would be a problem.
Let me ask, see how long it would take.
Maybe this is the key to getting through this.
Keep doing things as normally as possible.
There's just a feeling of safety in it.
I wish I could make the world safe for you.
I mean it, I Really, I do.
I believe you.
We can have it ready for you by the morning.
Oh, great! Um, how much is it? $10,000.
Oh, my.
Well, you could open a Tiffany account, give you more time to pay for it.
A lot of our young couples do it that way.
Uh-huh.
Years? Yes, if you like.
I'll take the 20-year plan.
I'm afraid our limit is two.
Fine, I know all about limits.
In this marketplace, the customer needs to know that our cruises are affordable.
We understand that, and we've taken that one step further, focusing on affordable luxury.
Oh? Gourmet meals, satin sheets, and shuffleboard poolside, all for the same price per week as a weekend at Disneyland.
See, the campaign is a combination of old-fashioned values and quality of life.
Franklin Cruise Lines' family adventures Salt-of-the-earth bonding in Neptune's opulence.
Giving us what we need, an escape from the day-to-day fray.
A family sea quest with emphasis on luxury and relaxation.
Classical music wafting through the portholes, and a lending library that would do a small town proud.
What do you think? I hate it.
What? What you've described is for our first-class passengers.
That's only 10% of our revenues.
The majority of our clientele loves amusement parks and hates fancy food.
You try and sell them the ritzy routine, and I'm out of business.
Look, I'm sorry, but you obviously don't understand what we're looking for.
I'm pulling the account.
Jo? Oh, my God.
Oh, my God! The guy that John Rawlings beat up, he's dead, and the police just called me, and they want to bring me in for questioning again.
Look, it's okay, just take a couple of deep breaths.
It is not okay, Matt! We have to give them these pictures, I mean, we'll never be able to live with ourselves if we don't.
Fine, I'll do it.
Okay, I'll do it.
And I'll just ask them to leave you out of it.
How can I be left out of it? I was an eyewitness.
And a picture's worth a thousand words.
Oh, Matt, I'm sorry I dragged you into this.
I mean, I took these photos, and I should be the one to hand them over.
Jo, I know you have a soft spot in your heart for police procedurals.
Yeah.
But just leave this one to me, okay? I wanna do this for you.
You need somebody to give you a break.
Okay? Thanks.
You're welcome.
Okay.
Jake.
Hey.
Can I come in for a minute? Sure, of course.
Can I get you something to drink? You want some potato chips or something? No, thanks, I just ate.
I came to offer your job back at Shooters.
That's not funny, Jake.
No, it's a bona fide offer.
You can start tomorrow.
Why would you do that? I figured if you had a little stability in your life, you could face your problems head-on.
I wish someone had offered me that opportunity when I needed it.
Jake, you don't know what this means to me, that you believe in me.
Yeah, I probably do.
Well, this is so great, Jake.
I know what it took to forgive me, put everything behind us, and be bigger than all that.
So, thanks.
Really.
Tomorrow, okay? Tomorrow's perfect.
Great.
Hey, hey.
Talk to me.
It's all so futile, coming to New York, begging a doctor to give me drugs that might work.
You should have just let me die in L.
A.
Don't ever say that.
Now, what do I have to do, give you a laundry list of things you have to be thankful for? What about your family, your friends, your career? Travel, adventure? Uh, purpose? What's next, Michael, your little hope speech? You are some piece of work.
Yeah, well, I won't be bothering you much longer.
Hey! Hey, don't you get it? I need you in the ring with me, I can't do it alone.
You are not listening to me.
I am tired of being sick to my stomach, of exhaustion.
I am tired of being tired, Michael.
Yeah, but do you know how many people have had this and and been cured? Fight, damn you! For what? What I need is a friend and a doctor, Michael.
The last thing I need is a romance.
Oh, no.
You're wrong.
This is exactly what you need.
Don't.
Alison Parker.
Hi, it's Amanda.
Amanda.
Hi.
I'm I'm here with Billy.
Put me on the speaker phone.
Sure.
So, how's the Big Apple? Freezing.
How's everything there? Oh, you know, never a dull moment.
So, how'd everything go with the doctor? Dr.
Steele is retiring and wouldn't see me.
So, it looks like I made the trip for nothing.
God, Amanda.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, so am I.
So, does that mean you're on your way back? No, Michael insists on fighting the good fight, and is trying to change his mind.
So far, I'm humoring him.
Anything going on at D&D that I should know about? Nothing that can't wait.
So, um, you're thinking of staying another day, another week? I'm not sure.
Maybe a day, maybe two.
Take as much time as you need, everything's Everything's fine on this end.
Great.
Glad that something's going right.
I'll call you tomorrow.
Okay.
Bye.
Bye.
See you later.
I think we should tell Franklin the truth about Amanda's illness, and play on his sympathies to get D&D another chance.
You can't be serious.
I am completely serious.
Well, then if you do it, you do it alone, 'cause I wouldn't feel right about it.
It'd be a bigger mistake to lose this account.
It's a major invasion of privacy.
It's not your call.
You're wrong, Billy.
I'm the senior member of this team, it is my call.
Well, do what you want, but you have no idea how they'll react.
And if it backfires, don't come crying to me.
May I help you? Yeah, I need to speak to who's ever in charge of the Davis case.
I have some information.
May I have your name, please? Uh, John Doe? No.
Matt Fielding.
Yeah, I've got a Matt Fielding here to see you about Davis.
Right.
Mr.
Fielding? Bob Wilkens, Internal Affairs.
What can I do for you? Is it safe to talk here? I think so.
We can go in my office if you'd prefer.
No, actually, I just wanna drop these off to you.
They're photographs of the night Davis was, uh Beaten to death? My friend took them, and, uh, she's just been through a lot lately, and the last thing she needs to be, is dragged through a police investigation.
So, we thought if I just brought the pictures down, the negatives and the originals, you'd just leave us out of it.
Us? Do I look like I was born yesterday? Jo Reynolds, a professional photographer, among other things, was on the drive-along.
I remember you, Mr.
Fielding, from your assault.
You live in the same complex as Jo Reynolds.
I wasn't born yesterday.
Then you should have a long relationship with compassion.
I'll keep you out of it, and I'll try to keep your friend's involvement to a minimum.
But, no guarantees.
Fine.
Hey! Wait a minute! Well, if it isn't Dr.
Mancini of the hallucinogenic tap water.
I brought a patient here from Los Angeles for a consultation.
Without an appointment, and knowing full well that I'm not accepting any new patients.
Okay, I admit that, but this patient needs your help.
So, apparently, do you and your career agenda.
What? Do you think I'd entrust you with my stringent standards? I'd have to be insane, and I assure you, I am not.
You're wrong.
Any ulterior motive you think I have is total fiction.
And this isn't about me, this is about Amanda Woodward.
Now, your protocol could help her, and, well, she's willing to try anything.
She is, or you are? She is! Look, Amanda Woodward is a vital, vibrant, incredible human being.
So are all my patients.
And you're wrong.
The issue isn't Amanda Woodward, it's you.
I got a call from one of your colleagues who painted a pretty dismal picture about you and your scruples.
Look, they must have me confused with somebody else.
I've checked you out, and I have to say, my reaction is unshakable.
I won't say I'd rather a chimpanzee care for one of my patients, but it would be something akin to that.
All right.
All right.
Then take me out of the equation.
Have someone else at Wilshire Memorial follow her.
I'm not the important one, she is.
Oh, gosh.
Will you at least look at her chart? I already have.
Okay.
If you help her, I swear, you won't get so much as a phone call from me.
Tell her to be here tomorrow at 10:00.
Okay.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you for coming.
I've been with D&D a long time.
I felt I owed it to you.
D&D has been meeting your needs for six years.
I'm confident that we can continue to do that.
Frankly, Ms.
Parker, the yuppie campaign was an unmitigated disaster, and your family concept was pretentious as hell.
That's 0 for 2.
I know we can turn that around.
With all due respect, I didn't hire you.
I hired Amanda Woodward.
Mr.
Franklin, I've been debating saying anything, but Amanda hasn't been well.
She has cancer.
Oh, my God.
At the moment, she's in New York for treatment.
I'm begging you to just wait until she gets back before you make this decision.
It would be devastating for her to lose this account.
That certainly changes the landscape.
How awful for her.
Yes, it is.
I'll have to take this under advisement.
And thank you, Ms.
Parker, for being so candid with me.
Hi.
Hey.
I just wanted to let you know how glad I am to be back on the job.
And it's great to be able to spend some time with you.
I've missed you, Jake.
Hey, I gave you your job back so you can work on you and changing your life.
I've changed already, Jake, you'll see.
I want us to be close.
Hopefully, in time, closer than we ever were.
Sydney? It wasn't my idea to give you this job.
I did it for Jane, because she asked as a favor.
We've gone over this before.
You and I as a couple are water under the bridge.
I'm sorry.
No problem.
Oh, man.
Franklin was so compassionate, he almost made me cry.
I mean, of course he was stunned, but I think the sympathy route was the perfect way to go.
Well, good for you.
It's not like I was trying to snow him.
We both know we'll find him a campaign he'll love.
We have for six years.
Special delivery for Alison Parker.
Oh.
Thank you.
Franklin Cruise Lines.
Thank you.
Da da da "Dear Ms.
Parker, "while our hearts go out to Amanda Woodward "at this catastrophic time, we regretfully "terminate all binding contractual obligations with D&D Advertising, Inc.
" Am I understanding this right? I have an appointment with Dr.
Steele tomorrow morning at 10:00? Yep, you're on the study, I'm off.
And we have to find you a new doctor in L.
A.
Why's that? Whose toes did you step on, what did you do? Nothing, someone poisoned Steele's mind against me.
It doesn't matter who or what, it just matters that he said yes to putting you on the study.
So, I actually have a shot at a cure? Oh, you have more than a shot.
Thank you.
Emergency phone call for you, Ms.
Woodward.
A Mr.
Jake Hanson.
Okay, thanks.
Hello? Hello, Amanda, it's Kimberly.
Well, if it isn't the wicked witch of the west coast.
If you're looking for your husband, I can't help you.
It's not my turn to watch him.
Uh, well, no, actually, I was calling to speak with you.
I just thought you should know that Michael is using you.
Oh, really? For what? Uh, well, it's just this little bet he has with himself to get you into bed.
He thinks of it as sort of a five-year project.
That, and to try and make a name for himself in medical research by putting you on more and more experimental protocols.
Sorry to disappoint you, but he's off the study.
This week.
Listen, Michael may be sweet-talking you to death Oops, sorry, bad choice there.
Look, Amanda, I've read your records.
False hope is such a cruel thing, and Dr.
Steele's protocol can't possibly help you.
The fact is, you're terminal, sweetheart.
Excuse me.
Who is it? Who is it? Detective Rawlings.
Detective? That's so formal, Matt.
Well, what do we have here? My two friends.
You know I tried to have a relationship with you, and a friendship with you.
Neither one of you wanted it.
It is so hard to make contact with people in this city.
John, I want you to leave.
It's always what you want, and I am so tired of that.
The way I see it, you're both gonna pay for giving Internal Affairs those pictures.
Um, John, look, I'll tell them that I lost my memory, or I'll tell them that it was someone else.
Shut up! They've probably made duplicates by now and pasted them all over everybody's locker! Don't you get it? They've been looking for a way to kick me off the force, and you handed it to them on a silver platter! I'm gonna lose my job, the respect of my fellow cops.
My life is nothing because of you! As long as they're gonna nail me for one accidental death, it might as well be for three.
Don't make it easy.
I know you didn't mean to kill Davis.
It wasn't you.
It was the pressure everyone was putting on you.
What do you know? I know that you can be better than this.
Look how you handled what happened to me.
I know you're not about violence.
The other guys, the straight guys on the force, they coerced you.
They never saw you, who youwere.
They just saw the difference, and it scared them.
Don't! No, please! It's not her! It's not about her! It's about you and me! Look, I have an idea! I have an idea! I'll admit to Internal Affairs that I was there that night! That I saw a second guy, Davis' drug dealer, and that he came after you left, and that he's the one who did him in! You would lie for me? Yes.
Why? Because, I owe you.
I'm in this with you.
When this is over, whatever happens, we can deal with this together.
You liar! Look, I know what it's like to be misunderstood your entire life! You don't understand me! You wouldn't even go out with me! No, I wanna understand you! I want to understand you! Don't think I don't know how to use this! Get on the couch! Get me Detective Wilkens, Internal Affairs.
Put your hands behind your head! What you didn't know, Detective, is that I am tired of playing victim.
Yeah, this is Dr.
Michael Mancini in Room 801.
You got any messages for me? Yeah, well, how about for Amanda Woodward? Yeah, well, check again.
Where the hell have you been? I talked to Jake, he didn't call you.
Who was that? And then you just leave without saying anything.
Amanda, where did you go? I was walking the streets.
Oh, for 12 hours? Actually, it was 13.
It seems Kimberly had the sudden need to play truth or consequences.
The truth is, I'm gonna die.
The consequence, I'm not gonna play guinea pig to further your career while doing it.
What are you saying, it was Kimberly who called? Oh, I obviously can't fool you.
This is unbelievable.
The woman wrote the Cliff Notes on how to lie your ass off, and you believe her.
She just put it in perspective.
No, you want You want perspective? Steele's the best oncologist in the country, possibly the world.
You tell me what he needs you for! Hey, you don't see him, you're the one who loses.
So do you.
You were kicked off the study, Michael.
You'll do anything to get back on.
Publish or perish, I know all about it.
What do you want from me, Amanda, blood? What is your problem? Are you so terrified that I won't go the distance? That you have to protect yourself so I won't hurt you? That's ridiculous.
No! What's ridiculous is the fact that I can not get through to you.
Now, what do I have to do, what do I have to sacrifice for you to trust me? Don't you get it? I care about you.
And Steele didn't pull me off that study.
I withdrew.
Are you saying you volunteered? Yes.
As a condition for his seeing you.
Why didn't you tell me? You were too busy with your walking tour of New York.
If I find out you're lying Yeah, well Lucky for us, I'm not.
Bye-bye.
Thanks.
Hey, are you okay? Yeah.
I thought we had an agreement, Dr.
Mancini.
Yeah, well, um, this is just the buddy system.
I'm leaving.
Wait a minute.
Dr.
Steele, I believe your treatment is going to help save my life, but I don't know if I could live without his involvement.
Can you live with it? You think you can keep your nose clean? Yeah.
Then I think I can live with it.
Thanks.
Okay.
Hi, Syd, how's it going? Great, really.
Listen, thanks for helping me get my job back.
Jake told me.
Mm, you're welcome.
And thanks for coming by to see how I'm doing.
Hey.
Hi.
Sydney, would you lock up for me? I'm gonna take off, I'll see you tomorrow.
Okay, good night.
I'm gonna head out too, Syd, I'll talk to you later.
Here, put this on.
It's getting cold out.
Thanks.
I'll be right back.
Okay.
So, you really are working around the clock, aren't you? And in what little free time you have, you manage to steal my boyfriend.
Oh, cut it out, Syd.
We're just going to the movies.
Right.
Good night.
See you tomorrow.
Yeah.
What's this? A combination congratulations and my humble apologies.
Your apologies? For being so unprofessional.
I promise, from now on, everything aboveboard.
And I'm sorry about everything that's happened, and for kissing you.
Oh.
Yes.
I've been meaning to talk to you about that.
You really stepped over the line.
Yeah, I know.
So Why don't you step a little farther?
Steele won't see Amanda.
You don't know that.
Yes, I do know that, he's the best oncologist in the country, and he stopped taking patients.
So what, the two of you gonna camp out in his waiting room bearing gifts? Hey, whatever works.
Michael, no one in his position is gonna take on a new patient, and put them on a new protocol under the best of circumstances.
It's a waste of your time and you're giving Amanda false hope.
Not if it works.
Okay, fine, so Amanda has to go.
Why do you have to be her personal escort? Because I know the case intimately.
That's your problem, Michael.
No, Kimberly.
It's yours.
Well, that's about everything.
So, basically you're gonna be incommunicado for two days.
As far as D&D is concerned, yes.
If I haven't covered all the bases, handle it.
And don't tell anyone where I am.
No problem.
This is where I'll be staying, and unless it's a dire emergency, I don't expect to hear from you.
Just take care of yourself.
Don't even think about the office.
Every time I do that, I come back to either a mutiny or a catastrophe.
Morning.
Hello.
We got 20 minutes to get to the airport.
I'm ready.
Have a good flight.
Thanks.
Hey, second opinions are always a good idea.
Yeah, they are.
Well, see ya.
So long.
Second opinions.
More people confirming I don't have a snowball's chance in hell.
Like, think about it logically.
There's no way that Rawlings could have known you were an eyewitness to Davis being beaten up.
Maybe he put a bug in my bag, or he tapped my phone.
I mean, he could be spying on us now.
Detective Rawlings, if you can hear me, go to hell! Why should he suspect you? Just because you have a camera? Yes.
Look, if he knew, why would he have come here asking if you'd left the car? Look, he doesn't even know that there are photographs and negatives, let alone, that you took them and that you gave them to me.
Have you figured out what to do with them yet? No.
Some drug dealer gets beat up, and suddenly, they're not photographs anymore.
They're evidence of police brutality.
And it's not just the precinct either.
It's a good ol' boys club.
And the Good Samaritan who shot the Rodney King video? His life is hell.
If Davis dies, it's manslaughter.
Why do we have to do anything with them? No one's asking for them.
Yet.
You know, there's a big part of me that says, "You've already had enough trouble in your life.
" My God, Matt, the guy's in a coma.
Relax, it's all gonna work out, okay? How can you be so sure? Because we haven't done anything wrong.
Well, I hope for once that's enough.
What is this? It's your new life.
From now on, I'm dedicating my life to making yours easier.
I'm gonna cook, clean, and do all your errands.
You don't even have to pay me anything.
Coffee? Isn't that my robe? Yeah, but Rikki has mine.
Pancakes? Cereal? I don't want any of this.
You don't owe me, and I don't need a personal whipping girl.
I think the term is personal assistant, Jane.
Eggs? No.
All I want is for both of us to put the past behind us and get on with our lives.
That's what we're doing.
I know that once you get used to the idea, you're gonna love having a personal slave.
You're not my slave, Sydney.
You're my cross to bear.
In summary, our Christmas bookings never materialized, and our ten million dollar campaign was a complete washout.
Okay.
Targeting urban professionals was a big mistake.
We should have gone after the family market.
But, if we work quickly, we can still book Easter.
Easter? Yes.
So, in other words, you want a new campaign.
Yesterday.
I see.
Where's Amanda? She's in New York on business for a couple of days.
But, we're her eyes and ears, and in constant contact with her.
Good.
And it goes without saying, that we have her complete support to authorize a full campaign on your behalf.
Great.
Then I'll see you tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow morning? For the new presentation.
Is that a problem? No.
Not in the slightest.
Fine.
We have to call Amanda now.
And say what? That you've been gone two hours, we've already screwed up? Billy.
What? Like we're gonna be more creative if Amanda tells us to be? You're right.
I'll get the coffee.
I'll put graphics on alert.
What, we need them for the presentation? No.
My resume.
That's not funny.
John, hi.
Sorry to bother you at work.
Uh, no problem.
What's up? I need your help with something.
Sure.
There's a cop on the force trying to set me up.
What? His name's Bob Wilkens.
He hates gays, hates the idea of working with them.
He's even on record as saying if push comes to shove, if you're gay, you're not man enough to do what's necessary.
What's that mean? I don't know.
Wilkens was a street cop, he went to Internal Affairs.
Now, he got a promotion, and now he runs the place.
Nothing like failing up.
Yeah.
Well, he tried to hang me out to dry once by not calling in backup on a drug bust.
And now, he's got another chance.
What do you mean? Davis is going down the tubes fast.
Your friend Jo may have gotten out of the car, may have seen something that might look bad if you don't understand the situation.
Davis is a junkie, Matt, but it doesn't matter.
If there are pictures and Wilkens gets a hold of them, my career is over.
I have to know if your friend took pictures.
I I don't know.
My whole future is riding on this, and so, in a way, are a lot of other people's.
I'll see what I can do.
Thanks.
Hello, I'm Amanda Woodward.
This is Dr.
Michael Mancini.
Anything you could do to speed up our check-in would be appreciated.
Our flight from L.
A.
was delayed three hours.
Right away, Madam.
Keys.
Uh, these are to the same room.
That was our understanding.
Well, I'm sorry, there's been a mistake.
We'll need two rooms.
You'll have to change it.
I'm sorry, Ms.
Woodward, but we're fully booked.
Excuse me, I'm Dr.
Mancini.
There must keep something you keep for emergencies.
I'm sorry, Doctor, but we don't.
All right, look.
It's late.
You take the room.
I'll leave and go try to find another hotel.
Or, um, we could share it.
That way, we wouldn't get lost finding our way to Steele's, and you know, you'd have a friend nearby.
This is very unorthodox.
Oh, I agree, but I promise, I'll behave.
Well, you did escort me here, and you didn't have to.
Does the room have two beds? Yes, Ma'am.
Let's go.
Sir, I told you when you called that there was only one room.
Yeah, I know.
Don't sweat it.
I don't know about this.
Hey, if I can forgive Sydney, you probably can, too.
Jake, if she has her old job back, it'll help her deal with her problems, instead of running away from them.
Isn't that your motto? Yeah.
I know it's a tall order.
That's an understatement.
Sydney didn't trash your bar, Rikki did, and as for Abbott, he had her under his spell.
She was vulnerable and suggestible.
So, she doesn't have to take responsibility? Yes, she does, but she's paid for it.
Please, Jake? Even if it's just for a trial run.
Okay, fine.
If she screws up, she's out the door for good.
I really appreciate it.
Just don't tell me I won't regret it.
Yes, operator, I'm trying to reach.
Dr.
Michael Mancini, please.
Dr.
Michael Mancini? Allow me to check the register.
One moment please.
Hello? Hello? Is anybody there? Hello? Color separation is due in at 8:00.
The printer picks up at 8:15 with a one-hour turnaround.
The client arrives at 10:00, and proceeds to be bowled over by your brilliant copy.
I wrote brilliant copy? Yes, you had a wave of inspiration at 3 A.
M.
That's funny.
That's exactly the time I had that triple espresso.
I haven't stayed up all night since college.
That's not true.
We should be very proud of ourselves.
This campaign is an intelligent, fresh approach to family life, and I'm sure Franklin will agree.
Yeah, if we don't fall asleep presenting it.
You know, a little positive mental attitude wouldn't hurt.
Do you know what kind of rush charges we've racked up? No.
Yeah, well, they're triple the usual amount, and nobody's officially okayed them.
So, I'm positive if Franklin doesn't love it, we're dead.
We've given this 100% effort.
If it doesn't work, we can walk away with a clean conscience.
And a secure place in the unemployment line.
I'm gonna go change.
Uh, there's a Dr.
Michael Mancini and an Amanda Woodward here from California, without an appointment, here's her chart.
They flew 3,000 miles hoping I'd see them? Apparently.
And there's a Dr.
Kimberly Shaw from Wilshire Memorial in L.
A.
on line one.
She says it's urgent.
Hello? Dr.
Steele, hello.
I'm calling about Dr.
Michael Mancini, who's in New York at the moment, and actually probably on his way to see you right now.
You don't say.
Dr.
Mancini is trying to get a new patient on your LU-87 protocol, but, he's got an agenda.
Yeah? And what might that be? To be the primary physician in L.
A.
, fake poor control standards and say you told him to.
That's a pretty wild accusation.
What does he gain? You looking bad and losing your funding.
Then he starts a similar study at Wilshire, citing his experience.
Oh, he is very, very sneaky.
Beware, Doctor.
Thank you.
I appreciate the warning.
Yes, Doctor? Tell Dr.
Mancini and Ms.
Woodward that I won't see them.
Not today, and not tomorrow.
Tell them I'm taking early retirement.
Give the standard list of referring physicians.
Dr.
Mancini? Mm-hmm.
I'm sorry, but Dr.
Steele won't be taking on any new patients at this time.
He's taking early retirement, and it really wouldn't be fair to either party.
Here's a list of referrals, both here and in Los Angeles.
Everyone on that list is a stellar oncologist.
You know, you don't understand.
Dr.
Steele is going to see this patient.
Michael.
It's not negotiable.
Now, before I tell you where to stick your referrals, you go in there and you tell Steele This is New York.
We eat worms like you for breakfast.
Now, why don't you be a good little Angeleno and leave? He may not see us today, but I'm not taking no for an answer.
I'll be back.
And I'll be here.
I knew this wouldn't work.
Yes, it will.
Just not today.
Come on, I'll take you out to breakfast.
Anywhere you wanna go, on me.
Oh, Breakfast At Tiffany's was always my favorite movie.
Like the movie says, nothing bad could ever happen to you in a place like this.
Oh, look! May I help you? Yes, um, we're looking for something unbelievably unique for the lady.
I see.
Do you have a price in mind? Sky's the limit.
Oh, what about that one? Ahh! The lady has exquisite taste.
Everything about the lady is exquisite.
Could you change the clasp? I don't see it would be a problem.
Let me ask, see how long it would take.
Maybe this is the key to getting through this.
Keep doing things as normally as possible.
There's just a feeling of safety in it.
I wish I could make the world safe for you.
I mean it, I Really, I do.
I believe you.
We can have it ready for you by the morning.
Oh, great! Um, how much is it? $10,000.
Oh, my.
Well, you could open a Tiffany account, give you more time to pay for it.
A lot of our young couples do it that way.
Uh-huh.
Years? Yes, if you like.
I'll take the 20-year plan.
I'm afraid our limit is two.
Fine, I know all about limits.
In this marketplace, the customer needs to know that our cruises are affordable.
We understand that, and we've taken that one step further, focusing on affordable luxury.
Oh? Gourmet meals, satin sheets, and shuffleboard poolside, all for the same price per week as a weekend at Disneyland.
See, the campaign is a combination of old-fashioned values and quality of life.
Franklin Cruise Lines' family adventures Salt-of-the-earth bonding in Neptune's opulence.
Giving us what we need, an escape from the day-to-day fray.
A family sea quest with emphasis on luxury and relaxation.
Classical music wafting through the portholes, and a lending library that would do a small town proud.
What do you think? I hate it.
What? What you've described is for our first-class passengers.
That's only 10% of our revenues.
The majority of our clientele loves amusement parks and hates fancy food.
You try and sell them the ritzy routine, and I'm out of business.
Look, I'm sorry, but you obviously don't understand what we're looking for.
I'm pulling the account.
Jo? Oh, my God.
Oh, my God! The guy that John Rawlings beat up, he's dead, and the police just called me, and they want to bring me in for questioning again.
Look, it's okay, just take a couple of deep breaths.
It is not okay, Matt! We have to give them these pictures, I mean, we'll never be able to live with ourselves if we don't.
Fine, I'll do it.
Okay, I'll do it.
And I'll just ask them to leave you out of it.
How can I be left out of it? I was an eyewitness.
And a picture's worth a thousand words.
Oh, Matt, I'm sorry I dragged you into this.
I mean, I took these photos, and I should be the one to hand them over.
Jo, I know you have a soft spot in your heart for police procedurals.
Yeah.
But just leave this one to me, okay? I wanna do this for you.
You need somebody to give you a break.
Okay? Thanks.
You're welcome.
Okay.
Jake.
Hey.
Can I come in for a minute? Sure, of course.
Can I get you something to drink? You want some potato chips or something? No, thanks, I just ate.
I came to offer your job back at Shooters.
That's not funny, Jake.
No, it's a bona fide offer.
You can start tomorrow.
Why would you do that? I figured if you had a little stability in your life, you could face your problems head-on.
I wish someone had offered me that opportunity when I needed it.
Jake, you don't know what this means to me, that you believe in me.
Yeah, I probably do.
Well, this is so great, Jake.
I know what it took to forgive me, put everything behind us, and be bigger than all that.
So, thanks.
Really.
Tomorrow, okay? Tomorrow's perfect.
Great.
Hey, hey.
Talk to me.
It's all so futile, coming to New York, begging a doctor to give me drugs that might work.
You should have just let me die in L.
A.
Don't ever say that.
Now, what do I have to do, give you a laundry list of things you have to be thankful for? What about your family, your friends, your career? Travel, adventure? Uh, purpose? What's next, Michael, your little hope speech? You are some piece of work.
Yeah, well, I won't be bothering you much longer.
Hey! Hey, don't you get it? I need you in the ring with me, I can't do it alone.
You are not listening to me.
I am tired of being sick to my stomach, of exhaustion.
I am tired of being tired, Michael.
Yeah, but do you know how many people have had this and and been cured? Fight, damn you! For what? What I need is a friend and a doctor, Michael.
The last thing I need is a romance.
Oh, no.
You're wrong.
This is exactly what you need.
Don't.
Alison Parker.
Hi, it's Amanda.
Amanda.
Hi.
I'm I'm here with Billy.
Put me on the speaker phone.
Sure.
So, how's the Big Apple? Freezing.
How's everything there? Oh, you know, never a dull moment.
So, how'd everything go with the doctor? Dr.
Steele is retiring and wouldn't see me.
So, it looks like I made the trip for nothing.
God, Amanda.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, so am I.
So, does that mean you're on your way back? No, Michael insists on fighting the good fight, and is trying to change his mind.
So far, I'm humoring him.
Anything going on at D&D that I should know about? Nothing that can't wait.
So, um, you're thinking of staying another day, another week? I'm not sure.
Maybe a day, maybe two.
Take as much time as you need, everything's Everything's fine on this end.
Great.
Glad that something's going right.
I'll call you tomorrow.
Okay.
Bye.
Bye.
See you later.
I think we should tell Franklin the truth about Amanda's illness, and play on his sympathies to get D&D another chance.
You can't be serious.
I am completely serious.
Well, then if you do it, you do it alone, 'cause I wouldn't feel right about it.
It'd be a bigger mistake to lose this account.
It's a major invasion of privacy.
It's not your call.
You're wrong, Billy.
I'm the senior member of this team, it is my call.
Well, do what you want, but you have no idea how they'll react.
And if it backfires, don't come crying to me.
May I help you? Yeah, I need to speak to who's ever in charge of the Davis case.
I have some information.
May I have your name, please? Uh, John Doe? No.
Matt Fielding.
Yeah, I've got a Matt Fielding here to see you about Davis.
Right.
Mr.
Fielding? Bob Wilkens, Internal Affairs.
What can I do for you? Is it safe to talk here? I think so.
We can go in my office if you'd prefer.
No, actually, I just wanna drop these off to you.
They're photographs of the night Davis was, uh Beaten to death? My friend took them, and, uh, she's just been through a lot lately, and the last thing she needs to be, is dragged through a police investigation.
So, we thought if I just brought the pictures down, the negatives and the originals, you'd just leave us out of it.
Us? Do I look like I was born yesterday? Jo Reynolds, a professional photographer, among other things, was on the drive-along.
I remember you, Mr.
Fielding, from your assault.
You live in the same complex as Jo Reynolds.
I wasn't born yesterday.
Then you should have a long relationship with compassion.
I'll keep you out of it, and I'll try to keep your friend's involvement to a minimum.
But, no guarantees.
Fine.
Hey! Wait a minute! Well, if it isn't Dr.
Mancini of the hallucinogenic tap water.
I brought a patient here from Los Angeles for a consultation.
Without an appointment, and knowing full well that I'm not accepting any new patients.
Okay, I admit that, but this patient needs your help.
So, apparently, do you and your career agenda.
What? Do you think I'd entrust you with my stringent standards? I'd have to be insane, and I assure you, I am not.
You're wrong.
Any ulterior motive you think I have is total fiction.
And this isn't about me, this is about Amanda Woodward.
Now, your protocol could help her, and, well, she's willing to try anything.
She is, or you are? She is! Look, Amanda Woodward is a vital, vibrant, incredible human being.
So are all my patients.
And you're wrong.
The issue isn't Amanda Woodward, it's you.
I got a call from one of your colleagues who painted a pretty dismal picture about you and your scruples.
Look, they must have me confused with somebody else.
I've checked you out, and I have to say, my reaction is unshakable.
I won't say I'd rather a chimpanzee care for one of my patients, but it would be something akin to that.
All right.
All right.
Then take me out of the equation.
Have someone else at Wilshire Memorial follow her.
I'm not the important one, she is.
Oh, gosh.
Will you at least look at her chart? I already have.
Okay.
If you help her, I swear, you won't get so much as a phone call from me.
Tell her to be here tomorrow at 10:00.
Okay.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you for coming.
I've been with D&D a long time.
I felt I owed it to you.
D&D has been meeting your needs for six years.
I'm confident that we can continue to do that.
Frankly, Ms.
Parker, the yuppie campaign was an unmitigated disaster, and your family concept was pretentious as hell.
That's 0 for 2.
I know we can turn that around.
With all due respect, I didn't hire you.
I hired Amanda Woodward.
Mr.
Franklin, I've been debating saying anything, but Amanda hasn't been well.
She has cancer.
Oh, my God.
At the moment, she's in New York for treatment.
I'm begging you to just wait until she gets back before you make this decision.
It would be devastating for her to lose this account.
That certainly changes the landscape.
How awful for her.
Yes, it is.
I'll have to take this under advisement.
And thank you, Ms.
Parker, for being so candid with me.
Hi.
Hey.
I just wanted to let you know how glad I am to be back on the job.
And it's great to be able to spend some time with you.
I've missed you, Jake.
Hey, I gave you your job back so you can work on you and changing your life.
I've changed already, Jake, you'll see.
I want us to be close.
Hopefully, in time, closer than we ever were.
Sydney? It wasn't my idea to give you this job.
I did it for Jane, because she asked as a favor.
We've gone over this before.
You and I as a couple are water under the bridge.
I'm sorry.
No problem.
Oh, man.
Franklin was so compassionate, he almost made me cry.
I mean, of course he was stunned, but I think the sympathy route was the perfect way to go.
Well, good for you.
It's not like I was trying to snow him.
We both know we'll find him a campaign he'll love.
We have for six years.
Special delivery for Alison Parker.
Oh.
Thank you.
Franklin Cruise Lines.
Thank you.
Da da da "Dear Ms.
Parker, "while our hearts go out to Amanda Woodward "at this catastrophic time, we regretfully "terminate all binding contractual obligations with D&D Advertising, Inc.
" Am I understanding this right? I have an appointment with Dr.
Steele tomorrow morning at 10:00? Yep, you're on the study, I'm off.
And we have to find you a new doctor in L.
A.
Why's that? Whose toes did you step on, what did you do? Nothing, someone poisoned Steele's mind against me.
It doesn't matter who or what, it just matters that he said yes to putting you on the study.
So, I actually have a shot at a cure? Oh, you have more than a shot.
Thank you.
Emergency phone call for you, Ms.
Woodward.
A Mr.
Jake Hanson.
Okay, thanks.
Hello? Hello, Amanda, it's Kimberly.
Well, if it isn't the wicked witch of the west coast.
If you're looking for your husband, I can't help you.
It's not my turn to watch him.
Uh, well, no, actually, I was calling to speak with you.
I just thought you should know that Michael is using you.
Oh, really? For what? Uh, well, it's just this little bet he has with himself to get you into bed.
He thinks of it as sort of a five-year project.
That, and to try and make a name for himself in medical research by putting you on more and more experimental protocols.
Sorry to disappoint you, but he's off the study.
This week.
Listen, Michael may be sweet-talking you to death Oops, sorry, bad choice there.
Look, Amanda, I've read your records.
False hope is such a cruel thing, and Dr.
Steele's protocol can't possibly help you.
The fact is, you're terminal, sweetheart.
Excuse me.
Who is it? Who is it? Detective Rawlings.
Detective? That's so formal, Matt.
Well, what do we have here? My two friends.
You know I tried to have a relationship with you, and a friendship with you.
Neither one of you wanted it.
It is so hard to make contact with people in this city.
John, I want you to leave.
It's always what you want, and I am so tired of that.
The way I see it, you're both gonna pay for giving Internal Affairs those pictures.
Um, John, look, I'll tell them that I lost my memory, or I'll tell them that it was someone else.
Shut up! They've probably made duplicates by now and pasted them all over everybody's locker! Don't you get it? They've been looking for a way to kick me off the force, and you handed it to them on a silver platter! I'm gonna lose my job, the respect of my fellow cops.
My life is nothing because of you! As long as they're gonna nail me for one accidental death, it might as well be for three.
Don't make it easy.
I know you didn't mean to kill Davis.
It wasn't you.
It was the pressure everyone was putting on you.
What do you know? I know that you can be better than this.
Look how you handled what happened to me.
I know you're not about violence.
The other guys, the straight guys on the force, they coerced you.
They never saw you, who youwere.
They just saw the difference, and it scared them.
Don't! No, please! It's not her! It's not about her! It's about you and me! Look, I have an idea! I have an idea! I'll admit to Internal Affairs that I was there that night! That I saw a second guy, Davis' drug dealer, and that he came after you left, and that he's the one who did him in! You would lie for me? Yes.
Why? Because, I owe you.
I'm in this with you.
When this is over, whatever happens, we can deal with this together.
You liar! Look, I know what it's like to be misunderstood your entire life! You don't understand me! You wouldn't even go out with me! No, I wanna understand you! I want to understand you! Don't think I don't know how to use this! Get on the couch! Get me Detective Wilkens, Internal Affairs.
Put your hands behind your head! What you didn't know, Detective, is that I am tired of playing victim.
Yeah, this is Dr.
Michael Mancini in Room 801.
You got any messages for me? Yeah, well, how about for Amanda Woodward? Yeah, well, check again.
Where the hell have you been? I talked to Jake, he didn't call you.
Who was that? And then you just leave without saying anything.
Amanda, where did you go? I was walking the streets.
Oh, for 12 hours? Actually, it was 13.
It seems Kimberly had the sudden need to play truth or consequences.
The truth is, I'm gonna die.
The consequence, I'm not gonna play guinea pig to further your career while doing it.
What are you saying, it was Kimberly who called? Oh, I obviously can't fool you.
This is unbelievable.
The woman wrote the Cliff Notes on how to lie your ass off, and you believe her.
She just put it in perspective.
No, you want You want perspective? Steele's the best oncologist in the country, possibly the world.
You tell me what he needs you for! Hey, you don't see him, you're the one who loses.
So do you.
You were kicked off the study, Michael.
You'll do anything to get back on.
Publish or perish, I know all about it.
What do you want from me, Amanda, blood? What is your problem? Are you so terrified that I won't go the distance? That you have to protect yourself so I won't hurt you? That's ridiculous.
No! What's ridiculous is the fact that I can not get through to you.
Now, what do I have to do, what do I have to sacrifice for you to trust me? Don't you get it? I care about you.
And Steele didn't pull me off that study.
I withdrew.
Are you saying you volunteered? Yes.
As a condition for his seeing you.
Why didn't you tell me? You were too busy with your walking tour of New York.
If I find out you're lying Yeah, well Lucky for us, I'm not.
Bye-bye.
Thanks.
Hey, are you okay? Yeah.
I thought we had an agreement, Dr.
Mancini.
Yeah, well, um, this is just the buddy system.
I'm leaving.
Wait a minute.
Dr.
Steele, I believe your treatment is going to help save my life, but I don't know if I could live without his involvement.
Can you live with it? You think you can keep your nose clean? Yeah.
Then I think I can live with it.
Thanks.
Okay.
Hi, Syd, how's it going? Great, really.
Listen, thanks for helping me get my job back.
Jake told me.
Mm, you're welcome.
And thanks for coming by to see how I'm doing.
Hey.
Hi.
Sydney, would you lock up for me? I'm gonna take off, I'll see you tomorrow.
Okay, good night.
I'm gonna head out too, Syd, I'll talk to you later.
Here, put this on.
It's getting cold out.
Thanks.
I'll be right back.
Okay.
So, you really are working around the clock, aren't you? And in what little free time you have, you manage to steal my boyfriend.
Oh, cut it out, Syd.
We're just going to the movies.
Right.
Good night.
See you tomorrow.
Yeah.
What's this? A combination congratulations and my humble apologies.
Your apologies? For being so unprofessional.
I promise, from now on, everything aboveboard.
And I'm sorry about everything that's happened, and for kissing you.
Oh.
Yes.
I've been meaning to talk to you about that.
You really stepped over the line.
Yeah, I know.
So Why don't you step a little farther?
