Melrose Place s03e23 Episode Script

I see you came here straight from the airport.
Oh, hey, babe.
You know, I didn't realize I was scheduled for rounds this morning.
It was lucky I called in first.
Uh-huh.
I would have called you, too, but they said you were on also, so I figured I'd catch up with you here.
Well, you were right.
It's good to be back though.
I missed you, sweetheart.
Frankly, I'm not so sure that's true considering you and Amanda shared a hotel room in New York.
Am I hearing this? Are you so insecure that even for a moment you believe Amanda and I I mean, that's not only unethical, it's unthinkable.
Ha ha.
Excuse me, but unethical happens to be your middle name.
The woman has cancer, Kimberly.
Cancer.
I'm sure the last thing on her mind is sex.
All right, Michael, I'll take your word for it.
This time.
But if I find out you're lying, know this, there is going to be hell to pay, serious hell.
Hey, do I look worried? Hello? Welcome back.
Did you have fun in the big apple? Who is this? Allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Mrs.
Michael Mancini.
What can I do for you, Kimberly? Oh, something very simple really.
Keep your claws out of my husband.
Oh, look.
No, you look.
I don't give a damn how sick you are.
Michael is off limits to you for anything but professional purposes.
Now, I am sorry that you don't have a friend in the world, but if you need your hand held, I suggest you dial No, I am still at the hairdresser's.
Fine.
Put Doug on it.
We'll go over and make a revised schedule when I get in.
Good-bye.
That's it for the business calls.
It's the only way I can keep things afloat at the office.
With all the rank incompetence I've seen there lately it's a wonder the place doesn't crumble every time I take a lunch.
Now, give it back.
I'd have to concur with Dr.
Mancini in confiscating that because although things seem to be going well with your chemo, there's something working against us Amanda.
Your career.
Doctor, if anything, my career motivates me to get well.
Look, your blood pressure is up, even since you've come back from New York.
Stress can undo a lot of what we're accomplishing here.
Now, I know you're not going to like it, but I strongly suggest that you take a leave of absence.
That's out of the question.
Then at least cut your hours down.
Minimize your duties and, most importantly, get away for a few days.
Which is exactly why I've made reservations at the Royal Canyon Ranch in Santa Barbara.
Sounds like a fine idea.
But a misguided one.
My industry is having its annual award ceremony Saturday night.
I have no intentions of missing it, especially since I'm a shoo-in in for print ad of the year.
Well, I'll, uh, let the 2 of you discuss this privately.
Don't try the hard sell on me, Michael.
Going away together is as best inappropriate.
I simply propose that we go up for a day and night of solid R and R.
No funny business, no stress.
Then if you want to come back for the awards, we'll check out after breakfast the next morning.
Amanda, neither one of us has even recovered from the jet lag yet.
That I'm even considering this amazes me, but I'll think about it.
Now, can I have my phone back? I'm still a little unclear on this, um.
Ahem.
You're going to Santa Barbara tomorrow to work.
That's right.
I had lunch today with their personnel guy and he offered me one of their weekend slots.
Hey, come on now.
I'm going to Santa Barbara to work the weekend because I can make a lot extra cash doing it.
You see, they're short on residents, so they're willing to pay through the nose for Wilshire Memorial doctors who want to moonlight.
In fact, the money is so good, I think I might work weekends for a while, really rake in the bucks.
And all this extra cash is for what exactly? Ahh.
Oh! Maui? I figured after all we've been through, we deserve a vacation.
It will be the honeymoon we never had, babe.
Come on and hug me, I know you want to.
Oh, Michael.
Alison: I loved it when you said the campaign was going to cause a ripple in the marketplace.
You said ripple.
It'll be a damn tsunami, Mr.
Franklin.
I see you 2 finally decided to grace us with your presence.
Yes, and you'll be glad to know that through some brilliant maneuvering, we effectively saved the Franklin Cruise Lines account.
What do you mean saved? Correct me if I'm wrong, but Franklin was perfectly stable when I left.
The only reason the account became a problem is because you didn't leave us with a solid enough campaign in the first place.
Alison managed to turn it around and hit it out of the park.
Well, you may have landed on your feet with that account, but everything else around here went to pot in the process, especially these quarterly reports.
I want them updated and on my desk Monday morning.
Oh, and by the way, did you submit my entry form to the Century Advertising Awards? No.
With this whole situation You know, Alison, for every solid catch, there's a pathetic fumble.
The Century Awards are the biggest advertising event of the year and you can't even manage to mail off an entry form? The deadline's tomorrow.
I know, I was going to have it messengered over.
Not good enough.
Take it there personally.
Amanda, their offices are somewhere in Long Beach.
Well, you better fill up your tank.
And while you're there, let it slip that I'm very ill.
If there was ever a year I needed to win, this is it.
My lunch receipts.
I switched with Elise, so I won't be back for the dinner shift.
Ok, I'll see you tomorrow then.
So, you have big plans for tonight? Uh, I'm having dinner at Jane's.
Really? How sweet.
I think you should know that Jane and I have decided to see each other.
Yeah, I figured that one out.
But there are some things you better know about my sister, Jake, like she's all about flash and style, no substance.
It's not an accident that she ended up in a superficial business like fashion.
Sydney, don't do this.
You won't fit into her world, Jake.
You'll hate it.
And I don't have a hidden agenda here.
I'm telling you this because I care about you.
Is that right? Women like Amanda and Jane want their men to be window dressing.
And if they don't have the right look or the right social graces, they'll fix it so you do.
I wouldn't be surprised if she hasn't already tried to change the way you dress.
Well, thanks for the little bit of insight, but I think that you're a little biased.
Fine, but don't say I didn't warn ya.
Hi.
Can I help you? Yes, um, I'm Alison Parker from D and D Advertising.
I'm here to turn in an entry form.
I hope it's not too late.
Are you kidding? You guys are expected to be top contenders.
Let me take a look at those.
Oh, I'm the awards coordinator, by the way, Brooke Armstrong.
Hi, Brooke.
It's nice to meet you.
It looks like there's been an oversight here.
I'm not seeing the form for Glorious Gowns.
That was your campaign, right? Oh, yes, but it's not being entered.
Amanda Woodward is going to represent us in this category.
Ooh.
Not that this should influence anything, but she's suffering from a terrible illness and her Grandstand Electronics campaign was super.
So, if anyone's going to win this award, it will be her.
Maybe, but you should at least submit an entry for yourself.
I mean, a nomination is as good as gold career-wise.
It's true.
I tell you what, submissions usually require a presidents signature, but I'm going to let it slide this time.
Actually, I'm I'm not comfortable with that.
Alison, I know everyone on the awards committee.
Glorious Gowns was one of last year's best campaigns.
You deserve to at least get yourself an honorable mention.
Just fill these out and I'll do the rest.
Well if it's just for a nomination.
Listen, could I take you out to lunch sometime and pick your brain? I've been trying to get back into a top ad agency and talking to someone at your level would be really helpful.
Sure.
Give me a call.
Thanks.
I will.
I have your number right there on the submission form.
Amanda, just so you know your entry form has been submitted.
Good.
Have a seat.
The reason I called you both in is, um although I just returned from New York, I'm gonna be out of the office again tomorrow.
Is something wrong? In a manner of speaking.
Basically, I don't have the energy level I once had and I have to face that fact.
So, I'm taking an R and R day tomorrow and next week I'll probably work out of my apartment, which, of course, forces me into the position of trusting both of you to take the reigns again.
And considering what happened last time, that's quite a bitter pill for me to swallow.
What do you need us to do? For the purposes of this particular absence, I need you to step up the schedule on those quarterly market reports, have them faxed to me at the Royal Canyon Ranch in Santa Barbara.
Next week we'll go over the specifics of your new duties.
Royal Canyon Ranch.
Wow.
That's supposed to be a great hotel.
That it's restful is all I care about.
Well, I hope the two of you can function better as a team than you did as a couple because that's the only way this changing of the guard will work.
Well, Amanda, I think I speak for both of us when I say we'll do our absolute best.
I'm counting on it.
That's what worries me.
I know you enjoyed yourself.
Ha ha ha.
Come on.
It wasn't that bad, was it? No, no, if you don't mind being in a room with more ice sculptures than people.
That is not true.
No, actually, I had a really good time.
But mostly it was the company I kept.
Hmm.
Allow me.
I know you've been dying to do this all night.
You're not going to get an argument from me.
If it's any consolation, this tuxedo's really working for you.
You look great, Jake.
You know what? So do you.
New duties.
Right.
She's probably just trying to work us till we drop to prove we can't handle things without her.
Maybe, but I think she's starting to realize that she can't keep acting like she's perfectly healthy.
Yeah, well, I don't know how long either of us is going to stay healthy at this pace.
What time is it? It's 11:00.
How's that slippery shrimp? Delicious.
You want some? Yeah.
Mmm.
Want some kung pao? Yeah.
Mmm.
It's really good.
Have some more.
Hey, Syd, what's up? Not much.
Uh, only that I have a major problem with your dating Jake.
Date anyone else in the world and I won't give a rat's ass, just not him.
Are you staking some kind of claim? If you want things to stay good between us, Jane, you'll stop.
You know, Syd, we really need to get past this sort of thing.
We're sisters.
This isn't about a competition between us.
You're right, it isn't.
It's about my finally finding someone who's good for me and you're bulldozing right over the top of it.
This is ridiculous.
God.
Look, if Jo can handle us going out, you should be able to.
I mean, how long were you and Jake together, 10 minutes? It doesn't matter how long.
I'm in love with him.
In fact, he's the love of my life.
Well, I have no intention of not seeing Jake just because you live in some one-sided fantasy world about him.
It's not one sided.
I'm not going to stand here and argue the point.
If that's what you need to think to get through the night, knock yourself out.
I'm going to bed.
Jane.
Ahh.
Just remember one thing, all's fair in love and war.
This will definitely be war.
I haven't been up here in so long.
I'd had forgotten how beautiful it is.
Yeah, it's one of those things you have to do a few times a year, help keep the head on straight.
So, uh, what did you tell Kimberly about this, uh, little get away? Ah, not much.
I find that very surprising.
No, not really.
Thank you.
Relationship's been on the wane for a while now.
Mostly because of Kimberly's obsession with having kids.
I'm not into it, so she's backed off emotionally.
You know, I've tried to stay close to her.
But I can't change the fact that I need an equal in marriage.
You know, a woman whose career means as much to her as mine means to me.
Wow.
That's a rarity in a man.
Yeah.
Sad part is we're just going through the motions at this point.
Well, I'm glad you talked me into this.
It feels like the right decision.
Michael, you said this trip was strictly professional.
I just had to get that out of my system first.
Well, I'm off.
I'm having lunch with this kid from the Century Awards, who, believe it or not, admires my work.
I believe it.
You're damn good and everybody who's anybody in this business knows it.
Well, whoever doesn't know it now will know it soon.
She talked me into nominating Glorious Gowns.
Ah, that's great.
You really deserve congrats for that campaign.
Billy, um I know things have been good between us lately, but I think what happened last night came from a place of familiarity.
We were in an environment we shared at one time, we're having a meal like we used to have and it happened.
I mean, that's it.
Psychoanalyze that one.
I'm running late for lunch.
I was kind of a rising star there, but naturally it went under right before my promotion took effect.
Oh, that's too bad.
I know, but it wouldn't have worked out anyway.
There was this older woman there, a senior account executive, who totally had it out for me.
Is it just me or have you found that women don't help each other out in this business? Well, there are a lot of women who can't handle the idea that you're a teammate and not a competitor.
So, do you want to try your hand at advertising again? Oh, definitely.
I mean, I just took this awards job to make ends meet.
But the problem now is how to get back in.
I have to admit, that's partly why I asked you to lunch.
I thought that talking with someone of your talent and experience would hopefully give me some insight.
Brooke, I don't know if you'd be interested in this, but we're losing one of our interns.
It's only a 3-day-a-week job, but it would be a start.
You're serious? I would kill to intern at D and D.
Ha ha.
That won't be necessary.
Um, I'll make a few calls and see if I can arrange it.
Thank you, Alison, Um and don't worry about recommending me, I learn quickly.
Can you page Dr.
Mancini for me? I wouldn't bother.
He's unavailable.
Kimberly, didn't see you there.
How you doing? Oh, I'm fine, Matt.
But, um I hear you had a little situation recently.
That obsessed psycho took you hostage, huh? You know, you really should be more careful about the types you run after, Matt.
Yes.
Well, speaking of desperate men, where's your husband? I need to go over a patient's history with him.
Sorry, he's working a weekend shift at Santa Barbara City Hospital for extra cash.
I think I'll look into it myself actually, increase our savings all the more, you know.
Michael's moonlighting? At SB City? I don't know why you're so surprised.
He happens to be a very ambitious man.
Kimberly, we used to have a deal at that hospital where they'd borrow residents for rotating weekends, but it was putting too much stress on the participants.
Is that so? Don't flip your wig, but that program was discontinued about a year ago.
These pictures are terrific, Jo.
I know Amanda's going to be thrilled.
Good, where is she anyway? The receptionist said she was out of town again.
Um, she's she's taking an R and R day.
Actually, um, the truth is I guess it's all right to tell you, but you have to promise to keep it quiet.
What? Amanda has cancer.
Oh, my God.
Not Amanda.
She must be so scared.
Is she going to be ok? She doesn't talk about it, but Michael told Matt her prognosis is pretty good.
I really admire her.
If it were me, I'd be a basket case.
Excuse me.
Amanda Woodward's office.
Woman, with British accent: Uh, yes, I'm calling from her oncologist office.
Is she there? Um, no, she's not going to be in today.
Is it important? Yes, very.
Do you know where I might reach her? Uh Billy, it's Amanda's doctor's office.
They want to know where she is.
Then it should be ok.
She's at the Royal Canyon Ranch in Santa Barbara.
Really? Yes.
Do you need the number? Uh, no, thank you.
That won't be necessary.
Ok, bye.
That was the best meal I've had in months.
Well, it was fun to make.
I wasn't sure you'd like Indian.
Oh, I loved it.
Be warned, I could get really used to your cooking.
Well, I could get used to cooking for you.
Hey, how did this happen so quickly? Easy.
It was wonderful.
Thanks again for bringing it.
It's a good thing I live so close I can just walk home after.
After what? Hi, this is Jane.
I'm not in.
Leave a message.
Thanks.
Jane, hi, it's Sydney.
Are you there? I'll call her back.
Jane, I'm in trouble.
My car broke down and I'm at What's the name of this place? The Palomino.
That's right.
I'm at the Palomino.
She's got to be kidding.
My car is broke or something and Wait, maybe I won't need you.
Some guys here say they'll help me.
Ahh.
Jake, don't.
The Palomino is not a place you want to break down.
Sydney, it's Jake.
Just stay put.
Don't talk to any goons and I'll be right there.
Whatever you say, Jake.
Which one of you cowboys wants to buy this lady a fresh drink? Right here.
Get the lady a drink.
Yeah, I got it, right here.
This place is a godsend.
I'm as relaxed as I've been in years.
Well, mission accomplished then.
I poured you some more mineral water.
Thanks.
You know, it's strange, I've, um I've always been very aware of sharing space with someone, but not with you.
It seems kind of natural somehow.
Maybe it's just the circumstances, but I've come to depend on you in a way that I've never depended on anyone.
Now, that's because we're a lot alike.
You've always had to look out for number one, so have I.
Neither one of us has probably ever truly trusted or taken care of anybody but ourselves.
That's changed for me, Amanda.
For the first time I want to take care of someone.
I want to take care of you.
Ha ha ha.
I've never said that to anybody.
I almost believe you.
What was that? I don't know.
Room service maybe.
Give me a reason not to drop this in.
How'd you get in here? I am Mrs.
Michael Mancini.
Calm down, babe.
This is not what you think.
How stupid do you think I am, Michael? All right, put the lamp down, please.
Come on now.
Put the lamp down.
Oh, you are a spineless fraud.
Oh, where do you think you're going? Now, let's just stay calm here, ok? Whoa! Ha ha ha.
Look at you, you're a selfish, philandering, dripping wet bastard.
That I'd want you at all is amazing.
Look, this was simply a medical treatment for Amanda and the fact that you interrupted is seriously affecting her health.
Don't give me that crap, Michael, I'm a doctor.
All I'm saying is that this could be explained, all right? Maybe not now.
Later, later, yeah.
In fact in fact, you know what would be great? Go home, wait for me there, and then after our heads clear, we'll talk.
Oh, I'm leaving, all right, but not because you're telling me to.
Seeing the two of you together has made me sick to my stomach.
You have no idea how close that was.
I don't know how you managed to make me forget that you're a pathological liar, but you did.
Amanda, I can explain.
Not interested.
These days I have no tolerance for liars.
Life is too short.
Especially mine.
You know what's funny? Still thirsty.
Got ya covered, little lady.
Thanks.
What is your name? Cal.
Well, I think you're sweet Cal.
It's that time, folks.
Oh, yes, time for our ladies to show us and I do mean show us, their finest.
Get ready for the Palomino's famous black bra contest.
Come on! Let me hear it! The grand prize, $200.
Fellas, get your nominees up here and get ready to cast your vote for the gal wearing the sexiest black bra.
Ohh.
Hey, how about you get up there and represent this corner of the room? I don't think so.
Come on now.
My friends think you're a real winner, right? Really, I'm just not qualified.
What's the matter, you got the wrong color on today or something? Hey, cut it out.
Your applause will decide our winner so, uh Hey, aah! That's nice.
That's really nice.
Get your winners up here! Here's one for ya.
Sydney's going to win us 200 bucks.
Hello, little lady.
Mamasita, I love you.
How about a nice hand for the little red head? Jake.
Ohh! You can't do that.
That's our winner.
How about a nice hand for our runner-up here? What, are you out of your mind, what are doing in a place like that? I don't know what I was thinking.
I thought it would be fun, different, I guess.
It was more stupid than anything else.
I know, you're right.
I was so scared in there, Jake.
I swear those guys were going to hurt me.
Well, you're safe now.
Get on.
Hey! Where the hell do you think you're taking my girl? Mind your own business and there won't be any problems.
I think the only problem here, pal, is you.
Oh, hey.
Tell your passenger to get off.
Just stay put, all right? Stay put.
Look, I don't want to get into it with you, ok? So, just back off and I spent 20 bucks on that bitch.
She's got to make it worth my while.
All right, that's it.
Just keep talking like a dirt bag.
Unh! I'll talk about the tramp any damn way I please.
Amanda.
Are you totally incompetent or are you just out to get me? No, of course not.
Then explain to me how Kimberly Shaw found out I was at the Royal Canyon? I have no idea.
The only person I gave that information to was the nurse at your doctor's office.
Amanda, if I upset your trip, it was completely unintentional.
I thought I was helping you.
Well, as usual, you were wrong.
What was supposed to be a retreat from the harsh realities of my life turned into a sordid nightmare.
I'm sorry.
I don't know what to say.
Just tell me you didn't botch tonight's limo arrangements for the century awards.
No, it's all taken care of.
Well, at least you're not totally useless.
Amanda I know you're in a bad place right now because of your illness, but I want you to know that despite all we've been through, personally and professionally, I do intend to be there for you at work.
I won't screw you over.
You have my word.
Kimberly? You ok? I spent the night up there.
Alone.
I figured you could use the time.
Honey I want to I want to explain something to you, but I want you to listen before you say anything, ok? Amanda, uh She's a She's a Frightened woman.
You know, she's terrified that her life could be ending and so she became fixated on me.
Classic case of transference, really.
Well, I admit that I participated in that, but it was only because.
I firmly believe that if I rejected her advances, it would have left her devastated and, in turn in turn, jeopardized her treatment.
So, obviously, that was a mistake.
And I let it get too far.
Far enough to put a strain on our marriage, in fact.
I'm going to put a stop to it.
Tonight I'm going to tell her she has to let go of these fantasies she has.
You do what you have to do, Michael.
Oh.
Ohh.
Thanks for being so understanding, sweetheart.
Michael I know all your faults like no one else does.
I know what you've done I know you'll probably do it again in the future.
I know all this.
And as much as I wish I didn't I still love you.
No one is ever going to let you be as true to yourself as I have, as I will.
Just please please don't leave me.
Hey, hey, did you hear what I said? I'm with you.
And I know how good I have it.
Believe me I know.
Listen, I'm sorry I didn't come back last night.
Yeah, uh, I was kind of worried, actually.
So, what happened? Pretty much what I expected.
By the time I got there some good old boys were pawing her.
I think she had too much to drink and, you know, things got out of hand, I guess.
Hmm, What happened to your face? Oh, some guy followed us out and starts saying some crap about how Sydney owed him for some beers he bought her and and you defended her honor.
It had nothing to do with that.
Come on, it was about Syd being Syd and it's her getting into trouble like she always does.
You know that.
Yeah, I do know that.
But that's the difference between us, Jake.
Is that I don't participate in her little charades anymore.
She was in a jam, I helped her out.
It was as simple as that.
Look, um This is going to be too complicated for me.
I mean, Sydney's my sister and I, um I really want things to work out between us, but it's obvious to me that you still have unresolved feelings toward her.
That's ridiculous.
And since that is the case, I don't think that we should be dating.
Jane, I think you're making a much bigger deal out of this than you need to.
Even if there's a sliver of truth to what I'm saying, I am not prepared to get involved with you, Jake.
That sounds damn near an ultimatum.
It is.
Well, to be honest with you, that's something I'm not prepared to deal with.
Fine.
So we won't.
Fine.
Oh, don't tell me the car's here already.
No, no, he's not due for another hour, I just came to see how you were.
Feeling like crap, but what else is new? Oh, at least you're well enough to attend the awards dinner.
You're a shoo-in.
If there was any justice in the world.
So, who's your escort? No one.
I'm going stag.
I guess it really doesn't matter since we're all sitting together.
I've got more important things on my mind than tonight's place cards.
Hello? Hi.
It's your doctor calling.
What do you want? Well, I'm just letting you know I'm on my way over.
I'm escorting you to the Century Awards tonight.
Thanks, but I'd prefer to go solo.
Look, I know I handled the Santa Barbara thing badly.
I should have told you that Kimberly was still being so possessive but it is over.
I'm, uh I'm breaking it off with her and moving out.
That's nice, but, uh not exactly something I want on my head.
Well, everything else I told you was true.
These days I have a hard time believing anything you say.
Yeah, well, believe this, I'll be there with a limo in 15 minutes and I'm not taking no for an answer.
You need someone to kiss when they say "and the winner is" Pretty cocky, aren't you? Yeah, 15 minutes.
Ahem.
Where do you think you're going? I just called Amanda and set her straight.
But she reminded me of this awards deal thing, I don't know, I had agreed to a while back, but she swore to back off if I'll just do this one thing.
You know, she couldn't find an escort.
Amanda couldn't get a date.
Well, you've seen her, babe.
She's not looking that hot these days.
Hey, you remember what I said? I'm with you.
And this is absolutely, positively the last time you're going to babysit her? Uh-huh.
And then I'm off the hook.
Oh, gosh.
I gotta hit the road.
I know because the pumpkin's out front.
And it better be on her tab.
Oh, ouch.
It's fine.
What's up? Well, I wanted to apologize for last night.
No need.
I would have done it for anyone.
I know that about you.
I also know that we're friends, Jake, and that's all we should be.
Well, that's good.
I'm glad you see it that way.
So, how are you feeling? Uh, it's a little sore, but I'm all right.
Well, I have just the remedy for that, a steak for your face.
Steak to eat, 6 pack of beer and the Lakers on TV tonight.
Oh, that's perfect, Sydney, thank you.
Wait I have enough for 2.
That's ok, I have a big appetite.
Just be tasteful for once and don't say a word.
Oh, I wasn't going to say much, just that I brought Jake over some dinner for 2.
Sorry you can't join us, but he needs to take it easy after that fight he got into over me.
You know, Syd, just when I think you've bottomed out, you always manage to outdo yourself.
The Palomino.
Hmm, real classy.
Jake didn't seem to mind it.
