2394089 - Melrose Impossible
Hello.
Ooh Amanda, it's Michael.
Don't hang up.
I have nothing more to say to you, Michael.
Look.
All right.
Then just listen? I know you've been avoiding me.
Maybe you don't think I'm sincere, but I am.
I honestly love you, and I can't accept losing you.
Well, you're gonna have to accept it because that's the way it is.
Good-bye.
I mean it.
Good morning, Michael.
What do you want? Do you happen to know where Kimberly is? I have some forms from one of her patients she's been needing to sign for over a week.
I don't know, Matt.
She's probably living under a freeway somewhere.
I don't care! I'm just glad she's gone! Man: Come on, Shaw! Get the lead out! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Come on, you wimps, move it! You want to be victims all your life? Come on, move it! Move it! Move it! Move it! Come on, Shaw! Get up off your butt! Move it! Move it! Move it! Move it! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Get the lead out! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Maureen, she's behind you.
Unh! Now, you listen to me, Shaw.
You're in No More Victims camp now.
You will not stop.
You will not give up.
You will succeed, and you will be stronger than you ever were when you walk out of here.
No More Victims means control, it means strength, and it means never, ever letting another human being get you down again.
You got that? You got that? I got that.
I got that.
Good.
Jess, what's going on? I'm packing.
I was up all night thinking about last night, and, uh and I think it's time I get out of here.
It's obvious you don't want me around, and I don't blame you.
If I didn't trust somebody, I wouldn't want them around, either.
Hey, take it easy! You don't have to go anywhere.
I'm going back to Ellensburg.
I'm a dead-end guy, Jake.
I belong in a dead-end town.
I don't know why I didn't trust you last night.
I'm sorry, man, you know? We just got off on the wrong foot.
Maybe or maybe it's just me.
Jake, I got so many regrets, man.
I always wanted to protect you, you know, be a big brother to you.
But somehow, the roles got reversed.
And now all I want in the whole world is for you to trust me.
Hey.
I got a late meeting tonight with my tax guy.
I need someone I can trust to cover the bar.
Can you do that for me? Sure.
Good! So you're staying? Thanks.
OK.
Forget about it.
Come on, let's go.
There were 12 messages for you on the voicemail this morning, all from a Michael Mancini? Ohh.
This guy is driving me nuts.
If he calls back, transfer him to security.
Done.
Uh, Brooke.
Do you have a minute? Yeah.
You and I have to turn up the heat on our Alison project.
Her days of playing president are over.
I want my office back, yesterday.
I don't know what else we can do.
Oh, we can destroy her, that's what.
I mean, anyone as incompetent as she is had to have made some mistakes.
I want you to check her schedule, her files, everything.
Find me something I can blow her away with.
OK, but I've got to tell you, I don't feel great about this.
Alison has been good to me.
Brooke, she's using you.
Stick with me, and you might have a future.
With my experience and your family connections, we could build something big together.
Or you could spend your life trotting after Alison with your steno pad.
You're right.
Good.
Then get to it.
Damn it, Brooke, would you get it together? You're not working for your daddy anymore.
Uh Amanda, I know that starting at the bottom again is putting you under a lot of stress, but don't take it out on Brooke.
Why not? She's there.
I can't send the fabric back to you.
It's already cut and sewn.
Wait.
Look.
Look.
You are my best suppliers.
I promise I will have a check out to you by the end of the day.
Yes, you have my word.
Thank you.
Hey, Jane.
How's it going? What do you want, Syd? Come on.
That's no way to talk to your sister.
I just wanted to take you to lunch.
I really can't.
I'm swamped.
And I could use some help buying a new car.
I was thinking about one of those cute, little Jaguar convertibles.
Yeah, right, in your dreams.
I have ways of making my dreams come true, Jane.
I don't have time for this.
I've got work to do.
Too bad you don't have the money to get the work to the stores.
I, however, got 100 grand from Michael and Kimberly.
What? I caught them doing things to each other they shouldn't have, and they threw all kinds of money at me to keep my mouth shut.
You're making this up.
Blackmail is a growth industry, Jane, especially when you're dealing with snakes.
Now, I would waste this considerable sum on senseless luxury items, unless there was some struggling young company somewhere I could invest in? Are you sure you have this money free and clear? You bet your ready-to-wear I do.
This is my lawyer's office.
If you want my help, meet me there in the morning.
We'll draw up some papers.
Ciao.
In conclusion, gentlemen, I am reinvigorating client relationships across the board, and this week will present a new campaign to Mrs.
Molly's Cookies, one of the lynchpin accounts of the agency's.
D and D is again on the offensive and moving into the future with confidence.
All the best, et cetera, et cetera, Alison Parker, president.
Make sure that this gets messengered over along with the quarterly report to every member of the board.
OK? Right away.
Oh, and Tyler Hirsch, C.
E.
O.
Of Mrs.
Molly's Cookies, will be here in two days for our presentation.
So tell Billy to be in here early tomorrow to go over everything we have.
Will do.
I've got something.
Alison is meeting with Tyler Hirsch of Mrs.
Molly's Cookies day after tomorrow.
And? My dad knew Tyler's father.
There's a story there.
Later.
Ahem.
See? I'm being nice to her.
Oh.
Good.
Amanda's voice: Hi.
I can't come to the phone.
So do what you do after the beep.
Thanks.
Amanda, come on.
I know you're there.
Now, pick up.
Come on.
You can't keep avoiding me like this.
Come on.
I care about you.
I cared about you.
I gave up everything.
I mean, get real.
I saved your damn life.
Now, stop playing with me, and pick up the phone! You know, I can't put up with this from you.
Do you understand me? I can't! I won't! Man: Wilshire Memorial.
Hello.
Oncology, please.
I'll connect you.
Oncology clinic.
May I help you? Hi.
This is Amanda Woodward.
I have an appointment with Dr.
Stevens tomorrow.
May I speak with him, please? I'm afraid he's left for the day.
If this is an emergency, I can page him.
No, but tell Dr.
Stevens that I want to make sure that Dr.
Michael Mancini is not at this checkup.
I don't want to be bothered by him.
Well, this is a private appointment, and we'll do our best to keep it that way.
Just make sure that Mancini's not there.
Understand? And tell Dr.
Stevens I want to file a complaint.
Hey, Jo.
This is a pleasant surprise.
What can I get you? Oh, a beer would be fine.
OK.
Is Jake around? Ah, no, actually, he's working on his taxes tonight.
But listen.
I wanted to let you know that, uh, Jake and I patched things up this morning after what happened at dinner and everything.
Oh, good.
I was worried about that.
Yeah, I know you were.
That's what so great about you.
You give a damn.
I mean, look.
You really helped me out with Jake.
You didn't have to.
It wasn't that big a deal.
To me it was.
All right.
Then you're welcome.
You know what? Maybe we should try dinner again.
And this time, maybe it should just be the two of us.
Oh, I don't know, Jess.
Well, Jake had mentioned that you two weren't seeing each other anymore, so He said that? Honestly I brought it up.
Look.
I'm just a regular guy who happens to think you're incredible.
Just think about it, OK? OK.
Sergeant: Come on, move it.
Get that hill.
Come on, now.
Forward, halt! Whoa.
Right face.
Huh! All right, ladies.
No More Victims means just that No More Victims.
Now, you've given me two weeks of your old life so that you can go back into your new life with courage and without fear, with confidence and without doubt, and with the physical strength and stature to stand up to anyone who means you harm and scream, "I'm not a victim anymore!" Let's hear it! Scream it! All: I'm not a victim anymore! I'm not a victim anymore! I'm not a victim anymore! I'm not a victim anymore! I'm not a victim anymore! I'm not a All right, Shaw.
All right, Shaw.
That's good.
Thanks, Shaw.
Heh heh heh! That's enough.
OK.
Let's pair up and do our takedown exercises.
Let's go! Move it! Well, look who's left: The skinny little doctor.
You want to try and take me down? I'm game.
Hunh! Not bad.
But I'm a whole lot badder.
All right, ladies.
Watch your intensity.
Come on.
Get up.
You're on the same team here.
You're doing very well, Amanda As a matter of fact, much better than we expected.
You're well on your way to a full recovery.
Well, Dr.
Stevens, you may not have expected it, but I certainly did.
Now, I hope you can help me with another problem.
Yes.
I understand you have a complaint? I am being harassed by one of the doctors on staff here Michael Mancini.
I want it stopped.
That's unfortunate.
He's your referring physician.
There's really nothing I can do.
I suggest you contact the chief of staff, Dr.
Hobbs.
Well, if he's anything like the last chief of staff, Peter Burns, I doubt he'd be much help.
I'm sorry.
That's the best I can offer, unless you want to go to the police.
One of these days, I'm gonna sue the hell out of this hospital.
Hmm.
Again, you're doing well.
We'll see you again in two weeks.
Dr.
Stevens, is there something else? You get the hell out of here, or I swear to God I'll scream bloody murder.
Shh! Please, Amanda, come on, now.
I had to see you.
I never felt this way about anybody.
I know you must feel something for me.
Please, Amanda.
Unh! Ohh! The only reason I put up with you for this long is because you helped me when I was sick.
Now, you have two seconds, or I'm calling the nurse in here, and your reputation is ruined.
Oh, for God's sake! That's right, Amanda, I'm begging you.
You see? I'm at your mercy.
All I ask from you is a chance, a chance to prove that I can be good for you.
Michael, this is beyond embarrassing.
If you ever had any dignity I don't care about that.
All I want is you to love me.
Get up, you slime, and get out of here.
You disgust me.
All right.
OK, I'll leave.
But I know what's wrong here.
You think I'm the old Michael, trying to play for some advantage or something, but I'm not You'll see.
No, I don't ever want to see or hear from you again.
Jane: Uh I don't understand.
This says Sydney becomes president of Mancini Designs? Mmm.
We feel that's the best way for her to protect her sizeable investment in the company.
Sydney, you don't know anything about designing.
Jane, I know a good deal about design.
But out of courtesy to you, I'll let you keep your sphere of influence.
I'll just run the business end.
You know even less about that! Oh, unless you count running a call girl ring.
Don't tick me off, Jane.
I'm trying to save your pathetic, little butt.
Ah, there's no need for us to lose our tempers.
The proposal's quite simple, really.
If you want Ms.
Andrews to invest her money in your company, you agree to her terms.
If not You'll go bankrupt.
I'm only trying to help, Jane.
Just don't.
Mrs.
Molly's stock in trade has always been familiarity and product trust.
Consequently, as you can see, the campaigns over the last hardly changed at all.
The challenge is to be innovative Hey, all.
Thought I'd join you.
I'm sorry, Amanda.
I really don't need you at this meeting.
Oh, well, that's too bad because I really know this client, and I'd like to help, but if you don't want me in here Come on.
It's a key campaign.
We can use all the help we can get.
All right, Amanda.
Have a seat.
But I'm running this meeting.
Oh, absolutely.
As I was saying the approach I feel we should take is conservative and family-oriented as before, but with a little more energy.
The child in the stressed-out modern world comes home to Mrs.
Molly's cookies in the kitchen, taking him and us back to a simpler time Tom Sawyer, neighbors, warmth.
May I say something? I can't see how I would stop you.
Well, recently, the son of the founder of the company has taken the reins, and I think we should appeal to his youthful new energy and his new line of fat-free cookies.
The Tom Sawyer idea can encomp Hear me out.
A young, vibrant female executive opens her desk drawer, only to find that her bag of Mrs.
Molly's fat-free cookies is empty.
So, spying a Mrs.
Molly's delivery truck 15 floors below, the executive, desperate for the only cookie that can satisfy her hunger, leaps out of her window, diving into the truck below.
And the announcer is saying, "There is no wrong time to dive into Mrs.
Molly's fat-free cookies.
" I'm sorry, Amanda.
Not in a million years.
We are going with the Tom Sawyer idea.
Billy, you and Amanda go see if you can come up with some variations on that theme, and have them in my office by end of day.
Can't blame a girl for trying.
You know, I don't have a lot of experience, but I don't know, maybe you should try Amanda's approach.
Brooke, leave it alone.
Alison, I don't like Amanda any better than you do, but you're trying to take D and D in new directions, and just because the idea was Amanda's doesn't make it a bad one.
I just think that there are times to hedge your bets and there are times to break new territory.
I know, Brooke, and usually I'm the one with the wild ideas, but this just doesn't feel right.
Maybe that's because you're in the president's chair now.
Don't let that inhibit you.
Heck, all Mrs.
Molly can do is say no.
Tell you what, why don't you give it some thought, and we'll talk about it tonight at Shooters after work? All right.
But without Amanda.
That's a deal.
Jo: I didn't even know these places existed in the city anymore.
Yeah, well, leave it to a small-town boy to find small-town pleasures, even in the big city.
That's your turn, my dear.
Now, see, the trick to this thing is, uh, don't pay attention to the big clown head there or to the Dutch boy back here that's doing something illegal with his finger.
Thanks for the tip.
This is fun.
Yeah.
Yeah, I tell you, I'm a pretty simple guy.
I don't need much.
To me, having it all is the excitement of being committed to one person You know, having something that lasts.
The main reason Jake and I never really got along was because he was always putting up a wall around his emotions.
Will you shut up? I'm trying to putt here.
Sorry.
We won't count that That's clown distraction.
I wasn't looking at the clown.
I was thinking about the dirty little Dutch boy.
No, I'm talking about this clown.
I'm sorry.
I I talk too much.
I like the way you talk.
God, you're so different from Jake, it's hard to believe you guys are brothers.
Yeah, I know.
I guess I just feel too much.
It's just that emotion is a wave between people.
It's passion.
And when it rises up, you just you got to catch it, and you got to feel it.
Jess, I don't think that I You know what? I think I should show you how to handle your club.
OK? OK.
Come on.
Come here.
Here you go.
Just set the club down.
See? Get it down and relaxed.
Yeah.
OK.
Now take it back gently.
Take it back gently.
And then a step.
That wasn't bad, was it? I'm not gonna let that get in my way.
Everything OK at this table? You guys get rowdy, I'm gonna have to throw you out.
Jake Hanson, this is Brooke Armstrong.
Brooke just joined D and D.
Nice to meet you.
Likewise.
Well, I'd better get back to my bar.
I'm shorthanded.
I'll see you.
You know Jake's available.
Just on the off chance that you're interested.
So when did you turn into matchmaker? Anyway, I'm hitting the sack.
I think I'm gonna stay and play a little pool.
I think I'm going to stay a while, too, check out this Jake character.
All right.
Don't stay out too late.
Remember we have to get that presentation in shape tomorrow.
OK, Mom.
What? You know I'm interested in you, not Jake, don't you? I've stopped trying to figure out what or who you're interested in.
I want to go home with you right now, Billy.
I want you to unbutton my blouse and pull up my skirt Brooke, I'm not really sure about you.
Are you single or not? Yeah.
But it's a little too complicated for me.
What do you see in me, anyway? I mean, I I don't have a trust fund, and I don't play polo.
I'm just a kid from the suburbs.
Don't blame this on my money.
I've made it damn clear how attracted I am to you and that I am interested, but I'm tired of chasing.
I don't make a fool out of myself for anybody.
OK, take it easy.
Don't worry about me.
You're the one who missed your chance.
I won't be asking you again.
Mr.
Hirsch, this is Billy Campbell, the new exec on your account.
Pleasure to meet you, sir.
Likewise.
And Brooke Armstrong, my assistant.
Pleasure to meet you, Mr.
Hirsch.
Please, everybody, you can call me Tyler.
There's no need to be this formal.
I mean, I'm just a little cookie maker.
Hardly, Tyler.
You're the best specialty baker in the business.
Amanda Woodward.
Yes.
I've heard great things about you from our management team.
Well, the torch has passed.
Alison's in charge now.
I'm just observing.
Well we've come up with a campaign that we think you'll find entertaining, Tyler.
Picture a female executive Young, stressed from her day in a big-city high-rise.
She opens the drawer of her desk, looking for the one thing that can help her through this day from hell.
She picks up a bag of Mrs.
Molly's fat-free sandwich cookies.
But it's empty.
She can't believe it.
She paces in a rage, and then she spots out her window a Mrs.
Molly's delivery truck, She thinks for a moment, then throws open the window and leaps into the air, diving for the truck below.
And our announcer intones as she flies toward the truck like Superman, "There is never a wrong time to jump for a Mrs.
Molly's cookie.
" Is there something wrong? How could you? God, what kind of woman are you? My mother took her life by jumping from a 15-story window, and you poke fun at that? You you make a joke? Oh, no.
Tyler, I didn't You are beyond disgusting, young lady.
You are you are inhuman.
Mr.
Hirsch, please.
Don't say another word! Alison, I am so sorry.
I had no idea.
This is terrible.
You'd better pray you had no idea.
You'd better pray you had nothing to do with this.
Hey, you gonna be OK? Got me.
Doesn't look great right now.
Hello.
Yes, um, when Mr.
Hirsch gets back to the office, will you please tell him that Alison Parker called? There's been a terrible misunderstanding, and I need to speak to him.
Thank you.
I think everything's gonna straighten itself out as soon as Tyler calms down.
I don't know.
I feel like I'm in a shark tank.
There's betrayal everywhere.
I need to talk to someone I can trust.
Um, I'm here.
I can see that.
What I need is for someone to treat me like a human being.
Take me to dinner, all right? I'm sorry.
Will you? Sure.
Yeah, I'll, uh, see you around 7:00.
Good evening, Amanda.
Playing dress-up, are we? No, we are not.
I am the new president of Mancini Design, and by the way, you should know.
D and D is on probation.
I am not at all happy with the way you've been handling our account.
Perhaps you should talk to Alison about this.
I'm no longer running D and D.
Oh, please.
We both know who holds the cards over there.
Alison is no more in charge of D and D than Jane is of Mancini Designs.
I expect a meeting with you by next week.
They say The mozzarella and the pasta and the primavera And the linguini And all the pastas, bom bom What the hell are you doing in my apartment? Hi, dear.
Come on in.
Put your feet up.
Have a glass of wine.
You know, when you were staying with me at the beach house, I took the liberty of getting your keys copied.
Look, Michael.
I haven't called the police about your little obsession here because I still felt some gratitude for your help with my medical problem.
Cancer Amanda.
I cured you of cancer.
And hasn't it worked out well? You come home healthy but tired after a long day, and I whipped up the best tortellini and pesto in the city.
Imported pine nuts That's the key.
Get out, or I call 9-1-1.
Amanda, you know, after what happened at the hospital, I understood what our Or rather, your problem was.
You don't believe in my sincerity, how selfless I can be.
But you know, I'm starting to see a little something in your eye.
I think you're starting to get it.
Oh, OK.
Oh, for God's sakes, don't bother with that.
I'll leave.
I'm just happy to see you're having a good dinner tonight.
I've got patience now, Amanda.
Time is on my side.
Stop all this, Michael, and leave me alone.
You'll come around, baby.
You'll come around.
Sergeant: We've been progressing very well with our physical and mental toughness discipline.
But we seem to be having some problems keeping our feeling of unity, which I feel is very important, ladies.
Now, Kimberly came to us a few days late, and she's been having some problems fitting in.
So I've spoken to Maureen, and she has something she wants to say about unity in our search for selfness.
Kimberly, I'd like to apologize for lashing out at you.
It was unfair.
See, I come from a disadvantaged and abusive relationship.
Anyway, I just I want to apologize for taking it out on you.
And I'd like to welcome you to our group as a sister.
Thank you, Maureen.
And let me tell you first from the bottom of my heart that I couldn't care less about your feelings.
I hate feelings.
And you can lash out at me all you want because it just makes me stronger.
You see, I'm not here for sisters.
I'm here for power.
I thirst for strength, battle skills, and determination, and when I am filled with those qualities, I will flat-out destroy those who have hurt me and take back what is mine.
I will find selfness when I am standing on the corpses of my enemies.
Now I'd better get some sleep.
Night.
Thanks for dinner, Billy.
It really meant a lot.
It was nice to go back to Pancho's again and get away from the pressures of the office, even though I couldn't black out on margaritas.
Hey, they pour a mean mineral water.
Mostly, thanks for listening.
Sometimes I think no one understands, and then I realize at least you try.
What are you talking about? I understand.
You're under a lot of stress.
Billy, no offense, but you've never been in this kind of position.
It's worse than a pressure cooker.
But I'm handling it.
I guess, also, with the trouble with my parents, there's no one to feel proud of me.
I obsess, and I can't sleep.
Well, you're home now, so you can catch up on your sleep.
All right? So I'll see you in the morning? I have so much on my mind.
I'll be up for hours.
Unless, of course, I could find a friend who could help me relieve the tension.
You were always real good at that, if you know what I mean.
Come on, before I dock your paycheck.
Why don't you try a hot bath or a cold shower, all right? Because I got other things to do.
Billy.
Billy! Billy.
This time, I thought I'd ask you.
Shh.
I'll be right down.
Yeah.
I'm, uh sorry that I couldn't make up my mind before.
But I have now, and I know what I want, and it's you.
Come up but quietly.
We don't want to wake Daddy.
It's, uh, nice watching you come down a spiral staircase again.
Remember, Billy, not at work? Anyway Alison's looking for you.
She seems a little, uh, bent out of shape.
She doesn't know about us, does she? I didn't tell her.
I'd better get in there.
Be prepared.
It's close to time for our palace coup.
You wanted to see me? Yes, Brooke.
Sit down.
You probably know that Billy and I had a long relationship.
In fact, we were almost married once.
Yeah.
Well, that's over.
I guess I never really understood that until now.
And now I feel like I don't have any friends in the world.
Oh, I'm sure that's not true, Alison.
Well I don't mean to get too personal, Brooke, but I'm grateful to you for being someone I can trust.
Well, you're welcome.
And the feeling's mutual.
Good, because it's open warfare around here, and I need you to do a favor for me.
Sure, whatever you need.
I want you to spy on Amanda for me.
Befriend her, find out what she's trying to do before she does it, because I know she's up to something.
That Tyler Hirsch fiasco was no accident.
If that's what you need me to do, Alison, I'll do my best.
Thank you.
Means a lot to me.
Don't mention it.
I'm glad to do it, really.
This is the toughest challenge of your training so far, ladies.
You are divided into two groups.
Each group will go into your sweat lodge, and you will stay there in the heat, and all you have to do is repeat the chant that I taught you.
Now, you may hallucinate in the heat and intensity, but that's just birth pains of your new warrior self being born.
Now, let's go! Find your mission.
Be transformed.
Move out! Inside of myself is the warrior.
Inside myself is the warrior.
All: Inside myself is the warrior.
Inside myself is the warrior.
Inside myself is the warrior.
Inside myself is the warrior.
Inside myself is the warrior.
Inside myself is the warrior.
Inside myself is the warrior.
Inside myself is the warrior.
Ooh.
Inside myself is the warrior.
Inside myself is the warrior.
Inside myself is the warrior.
Jane: You're a fraud, Kimberly.
You know that? Michael only saw you as a pale imitation of me.
Look at you.
You're a mess.
Sweaty, smelly You really are a lunatic, aren't you? Jo: What she is is a witch.
Aren't you, Kim? A lying, betraying, baby-stealing witch.
Jane: Good.
Witch is good.
Sydney: And a murderer.
How many people have you tried to kill, Kimberly? Michael, Matt, me I may be nuts, but Kimberly here is a pure, drooling, evil troll.
Wouldn't you say so, Kimmy? Amanda: You can chant all you want, but it won't work.
You know why? I'll tell you Because you're a pathetic, scrawny, stupid little girl from Ohio.
You're weak, and you're scared, and you're unbalanced.
You're not even very sexy.
I stole your husband right from under your nose, and I didn't even want him.
He's mine.
He's mine.
Inside myself is the warrior He doesn't want you.
Nobody wants you.
Nobody even likes you.
Your life is over, Kimberly.
Why don't you just die? You tried once.
Do it again.
Die, Kim.
Die, Kim.
Die, Kim.
Die, Kim.
Die, Kim.
All: Die, Kim.
Noooo! No, no, no! Unh! Sergeant: What was that? Hold it.
Hold it.
I don't care what you say, Sarge.
She's nuts.
She's completely lost control.
No, I haven't.
I've found my mission.
Hi.
How are you doing? Better since you walked in.
Is, uh, Jake here? No.
No.
He's, uh He's off tonight.
Did you need to see him? No, actually, it's better.
Um I need to talk to you alone.
All right.
Kevin, cover for me, will you? Kevin: Sure, Jesse.
Let's go out back, get some privacy.
Look, um Oh, I know there's something between us, you know, like, this electricity, but Yeah, I'll say.
Um we can't do this, because it's just gonna hurt Jake, and I don't want to do that.
I know there's a lot of other women in the world you could go out with.
Oh, OK.
OK, I get the drift.
You don't have to drag it out.
But let me tell you something: Losing what we have is tragic.
You know why? It's more than electricity between us.
I feel something for you that's much stronger than that.
Just tell me if you feel that That pull.
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess, but that's not the point.
The point is that, um We can't do this.
I'm gonna kiss you.
Just once.
I just want something to remember.
Once.
Ooh Amanda, it's Michael.
Don't hang up.
I have nothing more to say to you, Michael.
Look.
All right.
Then just listen? I know you've been avoiding me.
Maybe you don't think I'm sincere, but I am.
I honestly love you, and I can't accept losing you.
Well, you're gonna have to accept it because that's the way it is.
Good-bye.
I mean it.
Good morning, Michael.
What do you want? Do you happen to know where Kimberly is? I have some forms from one of her patients she's been needing to sign for over a week.
I don't know, Matt.
She's probably living under a freeway somewhere.
I don't care! I'm just glad she's gone! Man: Come on, Shaw! Get the lead out! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Come on, you wimps, move it! You want to be victims all your life? Come on, move it! Move it! Move it! Move it! Come on, Shaw! Get up off your butt! Move it! Move it! Move it! Move it! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Get the lead out! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Maureen, she's behind you.
Unh! Now, you listen to me, Shaw.
You're in No More Victims camp now.
You will not stop.
You will not give up.
You will succeed, and you will be stronger than you ever were when you walk out of here.
No More Victims means control, it means strength, and it means never, ever letting another human being get you down again.
You got that? You got that? I got that.
I got that.
Good.
Jess, what's going on? I'm packing.
I was up all night thinking about last night, and, uh and I think it's time I get out of here.
It's obvious you don't want me around, and I don't blame you.
If I didn't trust somebody, I wouldn't want them around, either.
Hey, take it easy! You don't have to go anywhere.
I'm going back to Ellensburg.
I'm a dead-end guy, Jake.
I belong in a dead-end town.
I don't know why I didn't trust you last night.
I'm sorry, man, you know? We just got off on the wrong foot.
Maybe or maybe it's just me.
Jake, I got so many regrets, man.
I always wanted to protect you, you know, be a big brother to you.
But somehow, the roles got reversed.
And now all I want in the whole world is for you to trust me.
Hey.
I got a late meeting tonight with my tax guy.
I need someone I can trust to cover the bar.
Can you do that for me? Sure.
Good! So you're staying? Thanks.
OK.
Forget about it.
Come on, let's go.
There were 12 messages for you on the voicemail this morning, all from a Michael Mancini? Ohh.
This guy is driving me nuts.
If he calls back, transfer him to security.
Done.
Uh, Brooke.
Do you have a minute? Yeah.
You and I have to turn up the heat on our Alison project.
Her days of playing president are over.
I want my office back, yesterday.
I don't know what else we can do.
Oh, we can destroy her, that's what.
I mean, anyone as incompetent as she is had to have made some mistakes.
I want you to check her schedule, her files, everything.
Find me something I can blow her away with.
OK, but I've got to tell you, I don't feel great about this.
Alison has been good to me.
Brooke, she's using you.
Stick with me, and you might have a future.
With my experience and your family connections, we could build something big together.
Or you could spend your life trotting after Alison with your steno pad.
You're right.
Good.
Then get to it.
Damn it, Brooke, would you get it together? You're not working for your daddy anymore.
Uh Amanda, I know that starting at the bottom again is putting you under a lot of stress, but don't take it out on Brooke.
Why not? She's there.
I can't send the fabric back to you.
It's already cut and sewn.
Wait.
Look.
Look.
You are my best suppliers.
I promise I will have a check out to you by the end of the day.
Yes, you have my word.
Thank you.
Hey, Jane.
How's it going? What do you want, Syd? Come on.
That's no way to talk to your sister.
I just wanted to take you to lunch.
I really can't.
I'm swamped.
And I could use some help buying a new car.
I was thinking about one of those cute, little Jaguar convertibles.
Yeah, right, in your dreams.
I have ways of making my dreams come true, Jane.
I don't have time for this.
I've got work to do.
Too bad you don't have the money to get the work to the stores.
I, however, got 100 grand from Michael and Kimberly.
What? I caught them doing things to each other they shouldn't have, and they threw all kinds of money at me to keep my mouth shut.
You're making this up.
Blackmail is a growth industry, Jane, especially when you're dealing with snakes.
Now, I would waste this considerable sum on senseless luxury items, unless there was some struggling young company somewhere I could invest in? Are you sure you have this money free and clear? You bet your ready-to-wear I do.
This is my lawyer's office.
If you want my help, meet me there in the morning.
We'll draw up some papers.
Ciao.
In conclusion, gentlemen, I am reinvigorating client relationships across the board, and this week will present a new campaign to Mrs.
Molly's Cookies, one of the lynchpin accounts of the agency's.
D and D is again on the offensive and moving into the future with confidence.
All the best, et cetera, et cetera, Alison Parker, president.
Make sure that this gets messengered over along with the quarterly report to every member of the board.
OK? Right away.
Oh, and Tyler Hirsch, C.
E.
O.
Of Mrs.
Molly's Cookies, will be here in two days for our presentation.
So tell Billy to be in here early tomorrow to go over everything we have.
Will do.
I've got something.
Alison is meeting with Tyler Hirsch of Mrs.
Molly's Cookies day after tomorrow.
And? My dad knew Tyler's father.
There's a story there.
Later.
Ahem.
See? I'm being nice to her.
Oh.
Good.
Amanda's voice: Hi.
I can't come to the phone.
So do what you do after the beep.
Thanks.
Amanda, come on.
I know you're there.
Now, pick up.
Come on.
You can't keep avoiding me like this.
Come on.
I care about you.
I cared about you.
I gave up everything.
I mean, get real.
I saved your damn life.
Now, stop playing with me, and pick up the phone! You know, I can't put up with this from you.
Do you understand me? I can't! I won't! Man: Wilshire Memorial.
Hello.
Oncology, please.
I'll connect you.
Oncology clinic.
May I help you? Hi.
This is Amanda Woodward.
I have an appointment with Dr.
Stevens tomorrow.
May I speak with him, please? I'm afraid he's left for the day.
If this is an emergency, I can page him.
No, but tell Dr.
Stevens that I want to make sure that Dr.
Michael Mancini is not at this checkup.
I don't want to be bothered by him.
Well, this is a private appointment, and we'll do our best to keep it that way.
Just make sure that Mancini's not there.
Understand? And tell Dr.
Stevens I want to file a complaint.
Hey, Jo.
This is a pleasant surprise.
What can I get you? Oh, a beer would be fine.
OK.
Is Jake around? Ah, no, actually, he's working on his taxes tonight.
But listen.
I wanted to let you know that, uh, Jake and I patched things up this morning after what happened at dinner and everything.
Oh, good.
I was worried about that.
Yeah, I know you were.
That's what so great about you.
You give a damn.
I mean, look.
You really helped me out with Jake.
You didn't have to.
It wasn't that big a deal.
To me it was.
All right.
Then you're welcome.
You know what? Maybe we should try dinner again.
And this time, maybe it should just be the two of us.
Oh, I don't know, Jess.
Well, Jake had mentioned that you two weren't seeing each other anymore, so He said that? Honestly I brought it up.
Look.
I'm just a regular guy who happens to think you're incredible.
Just think about it, OK? OK.
Sergeant: Come on, move it.
Get that hill.
Come on, now.
Forward, halt! Whoa.
Right face.
Huh! All right, ladies.
No More Victims means just that No More Victims.
Now, you've given me two weeks of your old life so that you can go back into your new life with courage and without fear, with confidence and without doubt, and with the physical strength and stature to stand up to anyone who means you harm and scream, "I'm not a victim anymore!" Let's hear it! Scream it! All: I'm not a victim anymore! I'm not a victim anymore! I'm not a victim anymore! I'm not a victim anymore! I'm not a victim anymore! I'm not a All right, Shaw.
All right, Shaw.
That's good.
Thanks, Shaw.
Heh heh heh! That's enough.
OK.
Let's pair up and do our takedown exercises.
Let's go! Move it! Well, look who's left: The skinny little doctor.
You want to try and take me down? I'm game.
Hunh! Not bad.
But I'm a whole lot badder.
All right, ladies.
Watch your intensity.
Come on.
Get up.
You're on the same team here.
You're doing very well, Amanda As a matter of fact, much better than we expected.
You're well on your way to a full recovery.
Well, Dr.
Stevens, you may not have expected it, but I certainly did.
Now, I hope you can help me with another problem.
Yes.
I understand you have a complaint? I am being harassed by one of the doctors on staff here Michael Mancini.
I want it stopped.
That's unfortunate.
He's your referring physician.
There's really nothing I can do.
I suggest you contact the chief of staff, Dr.
Hobbs.
Well, if he's anything like the last chief of staff, Peter Burns, I doubt he'd be much help.
I'm sorry.
That's the best I can offer, unless you want to go to the police.
One of these days, I'm gonna sue the hell out of this hospital.
Hmm.
Again, you're doing well.
We'll see you again in two weeks.
Dr.
Stevens, is there something else? You get the hell out of here, or I swear to God I'll scream bloody murder.
Shh! Please, Amanda, come on, now.
I had to see you.
I never felt this way about anybody.
I know you must feel something for me.
Please, Amanda.
Unh! Ohh! The only reason I put up with you for this long is because you helped me when I was sick.
Now, you have two seconds, or I'm calling the nurse in here, and your reputation is ruined.
Oh, for God's sake! That's right, Amanda, I'm begging you.
You see? I'm at your mercy.
All I ask from you is a chance, a chance to prove that I can be good for you.
Michael, this is beyond embarrassing.
If you ever had any dignity I don't care about that.
All I want is you to love me.
Get up, you slime, and get out of here.
You disgust me.
All right.
OK, I'll leave.
But I know what's wrong here.
You think I'm the old Michael, trying to play for some advantage or something, but I'm not You'll see.
No, I don't ever want to see or hear from you again.
Jane: Uh I don't understand.
This says Sydney becomes president of Mancini Designs? Mmm.
We feel that's the best way for her to protect her sizeable investment in the company.
Sydney, you don't know anything about designing.
Jane, I know a good deal about design.
But out of courtesy to you, I'll let you keep your sphere of influence.
I'll just run the business end.
You know even less about that! Oh, unless you count running a call girl ring.
Don't tick me off, Jane.
I'm trying to save your pathetic, little butt.
Ah, there's no need for us to lose our tempers.
The proposal's quite simple, really.
If you want Ms.
Andrews to invest her money in your company, you agree to her terms.
If not You'll go bankrupt.
I'm only trying to help, Jane.
Just don't.
Mrs.
Molly's stock in trade has always been familiarity and product trust.
Consequently, as you can see, the campaigns over the last hardly changed at all.
The challenge is to be innovative Hey, all.
Thought I'd join you.
I'm sorry, Amanda.
I really don't need you at this meeting.
Oh, well, that's too bad because I really know this client, and I'd like to help, but if you don't want me in here Come on.
It's a key campaign.
We can use all the help we can get.
All right, Amanda.
Have a seat.
But I'm running this meeting.
Oh, absolutely.
As I was saying the approach I feel we should take is conservative and family-oriented as before, but with a little more energy.
The child in the stressed-out modern world comes home to Mrs.
Molly's cookies in the kitchen, taking him and us back to a simpler time Tom Sawyer, neighbors, warmth.
May I say something? I can't see how I would stop you.
Well, recently, the son of the founder of the company has taken the reins, and I think we should appeal to his youthful new energy and his new line of fat-free cookies.
The Tom Sawyer idea can encomp Hear me out.
A young, vibrant female executive opens her desk drawer, only to find that her bag of Mrs.
Molly's fat-free cookies is empty.
So, spying a Mrs.
Molly's delivery truck 15 floors below, the executive, desperate for the only cookie that can satisfy her hunger, leaps out of her window, diving into the truck below.
And the announcer is saying, "There is no wrong time to dive into Mrs.
Molly's fat-free cookies.
" I'm sorry, Amanda.
Not in a million years.
We are going with the Tom Sawyer idea.
Billy, you and Amanda go see if you can come up with some variations on that theme, and have them in my office by end of day.
Can't blame a girl for trying.
You know, I don't have a lot of experience, but I don't know, maybe you should try Amanda's approach.
Brooke, leave it alone.
Alison, I don't like Amanda any better than you do, but you're trying to take D and D in new directions, and just because the idea was Amanda's doesn't make it a bad one.
I just think that there are times to hedge your bets and there are times to break new territory.
I know, Brooke, and usually I'm the one with the wild ideas, but this just doesn't feel right.
Maybe that's because you're in the president's chair now.
Don't let that inhibit you.
Heck, all Mrs.
Molly can do is say no.
Tell you what, why don't you give it some thought, and we'll talk about it tonight at Shooters after work? All right.
But without Amanda.
That's a deal.
Jo: I didn't even know these places existed in the city anymore.
Yeah, well, leave it to a small-town boy to find small-town pleasures, even in the big city.
That's your turn, my dear.
Now, see, the trick to this thing is, uh, don't pay attention to the big clown head there or to the Dutch boy back here that's doing something illegal with his finger.
Thanks for the tip.
This is fun.
Yeah.
Yeah, I tell you, I'm a pretty simple guy.
I don't need much.
To me, having it all is the excitement of being committed to one person You know, having something that lasts.
The main reason Jake and I never really got along was because he was always putting up a wall around his emotions.
Will you shut up? I'm trying to putt here.
Sorry.
We won't count that That's clown distraction.
I wasn't looking at the clown.
I was thinking about the dirty little Dutch boy.
No, I'm talking about this clown.
I'm sorry.
I I talk too much.
I like the way you talk.
God, you're so different from Jake, it's hard to believe you guys are brothers.
Yeah, I know.
I guess I just feel too much.
It's just that emotion is a wave between people.
It's passion.
And when it rises up, you just you got to catch it, and you got to feel it.
Jess, I don't think that I You know what? I think I should show you how to handle your club.
OK? OK.
Come on.
Come here.
Here you go.
Just set the club down.
See? Get it down and relaxed.
Yeah.
OK.
Now take it back gently.
Take it back gently.
And then a step.
That wasn't bad, was it? I'm not gonna let that get in my way.
Everything OK at this table? You guys get rowdy, I'm gonna have to throw you out.
Jake Hanson, this is Brooke Armstrong.
Brooke just joined D and D.
Nice to meet you.
Likewise.
Well, I'd better get back to my bar.
I'm shorthanded.
I'll see you.
You know Jake's available.
Just on the off chance that you're interested.
So when did you turn into matchmaker? Anyway, I'm hitting the sack.
I think I'm gonna stay and play a little pool.
I think I'm going to stay a while, too, check out this Jake character.
All right.
Don't stay out too late.
Remember we have to get that presentation in shape tomorrow.
OK, Mom.
What? You know I'm interested in you, not Jake, don't you? I've stopped trying to figure out what or who you're interested in.
I want to go home with you right now, Billy.
I want you to unbutton my blouse and pull up my skirt Brooke, I'm not really sure about you.
Are you single or not? Yeah.
But it's a little too complicated for me.
What do you see in me, anyway? I mean, I I don't have a trust fund, and I don't play polo.
I'm just a kid from the suburbs.
Don't blame this on my money.
I've made it damn clear how attracted I am to you and that I am interested, but I'm tired of chasing.
I don't make a fool out of myself for anybody.
OK, take it easy.
Don't worry about me.
You're the one who missed your chance.
I won't be asking you again.
Mr.
Hirsch, this is Billy Campbell, the new exec on your account.
Pleasure to meet you, sir.
Likewise.
And Brooke Armstrong, my assistant.
Pleasure to meet you, Mr.
Hirsch.
Please, everybody, you can call me Tyler.
There's no need to be this formal.
I mean, I'm just a little cookie maker.
Hardly, Tyler.
You're the best specialty baker in the business.
Amanda Woodward.
Yes.
I've heard great things about you from our management team.
Well, the torch has passed.
Alison's in charge now.
I'm just observing.
Well we've come up with a campaign that we think you'll find entertaining, Tyler.
Picture a female executive Young, stressed from her day in a big-city high-rise.
She opens the drawer of her desk, looking for the one thing that can help her through this day from hell.
She picks up a bag of Mrs.
Molly's fat-free sandwich cookies.
But it's empty.
She can't believe it.
She paces in a rage, and then she spots out her window a Mrs.
Molly's delivery truck, She thinks for a moment, then throws open the window and leaps into the air, diving for the truck below.
And our announcer intones as she flies toward the truck like Superman, "There is never a wrong time to jump for a Mrs.
Molly's cookie.
" Is there something wrong? How could you? God, what kind of woman are you? My mother took her life by jumping from a 15-story window, and you poke fun at that? You you make a joke? Oh, no.
Tyler, I didn't You are beyond disgusting, young lady.
You are you are inhuman.
Mr.
Hirsch, please.
Don't say another word! Alison, I am so sorry.
I had no idea.
This is terrible.
You'd better pray you had no idea.
You'd better pray you had nothing to do with this.
Hey, you gonna be OK? Got me.
Doesn't look great right now.
Hello.
Yes, um, when Mr.
Hirsch gets back to the office, will you please tell him that Alison Parker called? There's been a terrible misunderstanding, and I need to speak to him.
Thank you.
I think everything's gonna straighten itself out as soon as Tyler calms down.
I don't know.
I feel like I'm in a shark tank.
There's betrayal everywhere.
I need to talk to someone I can trust.
Um, I'm here.
I can see that.
What I need is for someone to treat me like a human being.
Take me to dinner, all right? I'm sorry.
Will you? Sure.
Yeah, I'll, uh, see you around 7:00.
Good evening, Amanda.
Playing dress-up, are we? No, we are not.
I am the new president of Mancini Design, and by the way, you should know.
D and D is on probation.
I am not at all happy with the way you've been handling our account.
Perhaps you should talk to Alison about this.
I'm no longer running D and D.
Oh, please.
We both know who holds the cards over there.
Alison is no more in charge of D and D than Jane is of Mancini Designs.
I expect a meeting with you by next week.
They say The mozzarella and the pasta and the primavera And the linguini And all the pastas, bom bom What the hell are you doing in my apartment? Hi, dear.
Come on in.
Put your feet up.
Have a glass of wine.
You know, when you were staying with me at the beach house, I took the liberty of getting your keys copied.
Look, Michael.
I haven't called the police about your little obsession here because I still felt some gratitude for your help with my medical problem.
Cancer Amanda.
I cured you of cancer.
And hasn't it worked out well? You come home healthy but tired after a long day, and I whipped up the best tortellini and pesto in the city.
Imported pine nuts That's the key.
Get out, or I call 9-1-1.
Amanda, you know, after what happened at the hospital, I understood what our Or rather, your problem was.
You don't believe in my sincerity, how selfless I can be.
But you know, I'm starting to see a little something in your eye.
I think you're starting to get it.
Oh, OK.
Oh, for God's sakes, don't bother with that.
I'll leave.
I'm just happy to see you're having a good dinner tonight.
I've got patience now, Amanda.
Time is on my side.
Stop all this, Michael, and leave me alone.
You'll come around, baby.
You'll come around.
Sergeant: We've been progressing very well with our physical and mental toughness discipline.
But we seem to be having some problems keeping our feeling of unity, which I feel is very important, ladies.
Now, Kimberly came to us a few days late, and she's been having some problems fitting in.
So I've spoken to Maureen, and she has something she wants to say about unity in our search for selfness.
Kimberly, I'd like to apologize for lashing out at you.
It was unfair.
See, I come from a disadvantaged and abusive relationship.
Anyway, I just I want to apologize for taking it out on you.
And I'd like to welcome you to our group as a sister.
Thank you, Maureen.
And let me tell you first from the bottom of my heart that I couldn't care less about your feelings.
I hate feelings.
And you can lash out at me all you want because it just makes me stronger.
You see, I'm not here for sisters.
I'm here for power.
I thirst for strength, battle skills, and determination, and when I am filled with those qualities, I will flat-out destroy those who have hurt me and take back what is mine.
I will find selfness when I am standing on the corpses of my enemies.
Now I'd better get some sleep.
Night.
Thanks for dinner, Billy.
It really meant a lot.
It was nice to go back to Pancho's again and get away from the pressures of the office, even though I couldn't black out on margaritas.
Hey, they pour a mean mineral water.
Mostly, thanks for listening.
Sometimes I think no one understands, and then I realize at least you try.
What are you talking about? I understand.
You're under a lot of stress.
Billy, no offense, but you've never been in this kind of position.
It's worse than a pressure cooker.
But I'm handling it.
I guess, also, with the trouble with my parents, there's no one to feel proud of me.
I obsess, and I can't sleep.
Well, you're home now, so you can catch up on your sleep.
All right? So I'll see you in the morning? I have so much on my mind.
I'll be up for hours.
Unless, of course, I could find a friend who could help me relieve the tension.
You were always real good at that, if you know what I mean.
Come on, before I dock your paycheck.
Why don't you try a hot bath or a cold shower, all right? Because I got other things to do.
Billy.
Billy! Billy.
This time, I thought I'd ask you.
Shh.
I'll be right down.
Yeah.
I'm, uh sorry that I couldn't make up my mind before.
But I have now, and I know what I want, and it's you.
Come up but quietly.
We don't want to wake Daddy.
It's, uh, nice watching you come down a spiral staircase again.
Remember, Billy, not at work? Anyway Alison's looking for you.
She seems a little, uh, bent out of shape.
She doesn't know about us, does she? I didn't tell her.
I'd better get in there.
Be prepared.
It's close to time for our palace coup.
You wanted to see me? Yes, Brooke.
Sit down.
You probably know that Billy and I had a long relationship.
In fact, we were almost married once.
Yeah.
Well, that's over.
I guess I never really understood that until now.
And now I feel like I don't have any friends in the world.
Oh, I'm sure that's not true, Alison.
Well I don't mean to get too personal, Brooke, but I'm grateful to you for being someone I can trust.
Well, you're welcome.
And the feeling's mutual.
Good, because it's open warfare around here, and I need you to do a favor for me.
Sure, whatever you need.
I want you to spy on Amanda for me.
Befriend her, find out what she's trying to do before she does it, because I know she's up to something.
That Tyler Hirsch fiasco was no accident.
If that's what you need me to do, Alison, I'll do my best.
Thank you.
Means a lot to me.
Don't mention it.
I'm glad to do it, really.
This is the toughest challenge of your training so far, ladies.
You are divided into two groups.
Each group will go into your sweat lodge, and you will stay there in the heat, and all you have to do is repeat the chant that I taught you.
Now, you may hallucinate in the heat and intensity, but that's just birth pains of your new warrior self being born.
Now, let's go! Find your mission.
Be transformed.
Move out! Inside of myself is the warrior.
Inside myself is the warrior.
All: Inside myself is the warrior.
Inside myself is the warrior.
Inside myself is the warrior.
Inside myself is the warrior.
Inside myself is the warrior.
Inside myself is the warrior.
Inside myself is the warrior.
Inside myself is the warrior.
Ooh.
Inside myself is the warrior.
Inside myself is the warrior.
Inside myself is the warrior.
Jane: You're a fraud, Kimberly.
You know that? Michael only saw you as a pale imitation of me.
Look at you.
You're a mess.
Sweaty, smelly You really are a lunatic, aren't you? Jo: What she is is a witch.
Aren't you, Kim? A lying, betraying, baby-stealing witch.
Jane: Good.
Witch is good.
Sydney: And a murderer.
How many people have you tried to kill, Kimberly? Michael, Matt, me I may be nuts, but Kimberly here is a pure, drooling, evil troll.
Wouldn't you say so, Kimmy? Amanda: You can chant all you want, but it won't work.
You know why? I'll tell you Because you're a pathetic, scrawny, stupid little girl from Ohio.
You're weak, and you're scared, and you're unbalanced.
You're not even very sexy.
I stole your husband right from under your nose, and I didn't even want him.
He's mine.
He's mine.
Inside myself is the warrior He doesn't want you.
Nobody wants you.
Nobody even likes you.
Your life is over, Kimberly.
Why don't you just die? You tried once.
Do it again.
Die, Kim.
Die, Kim.
Die, Kim.
Die, Kim.
Die, Kim.
All: Die, Kim.
Noooo! No, no, no! Unh! Sergeant: What was that? Hold it.
Hold it.
I don't care what you say, Sarge.
She's nuts.
She's completely lost control.
No, I haven't.
I've found my mission.
Hi.
How are you doing? Better since you walked in.
Is, uh, Jake here? No.
No.
He's, uh He's off tonight.
Did you need to see him? No, actually, it's better.
Um I need to talk to you alone.
All right.
Kevin, cover for me, will you? Kevin: Sure, Jesse.
Let's go out back, get some privacy.
Look, um Oh, I know there's something between us, you know, like, this electricity, but Yeah, I'll say.
Um we can't do this, because it's just gonna hurt Jake, and I don't want to do that.
I know there's a lot of other women in the world you could go out with.
Oh, OK.
OK, I get the drift.
You don't have to drag it out.
But let me tell you something: Losing what we have is tragic.
You know why? It's more than electricity between us.
I feel something for you that's much stronger than that.
Just tell me if you feel that That pull.
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess, but that's not the point.
The point is that, um We can't do this.
I'm gonna kiss you.
Just once.
I just want something to remember.
Once.
