Melrose Place s04e15 Episode Script

Billy: It's okay, calm down.
Oh, Billy.
Calm down.
It's okay I am just so alone.
It's like it's like, the night Hayley disappeared, I waited for hours, just praying he wasn't dead, hoping it was all part of his plan.
Like divorcing me was part of his plan.
Believing Hayley loved me was all I had left.
Here, have a martini.
I'll join you.
You promised Amanda you could handle this meeting.
And I can! The presentation isn't till tomorrow.
All I've missed so far is a boring lunch with anal clients.
Yeah, who've been trying to figure out where the hell you are.
You're lucky I picked up the call.
Oh Then the amazing Billy rode to Alison's rescue.
Spare me.
You're killing your career.
I don't care, Billy! My husband is dead! I finally let myself love someone again, and then Hayley cuts himself out of my life.
And when I needed you, Brooke was stuck to your side like a damn tattoo.
Because she was grieving.
Until her million dollar inheritance cheered her up.
She is so damn superficial.
She still blames me for everything Hayley did.
And you stand right next to her, like it really was my fault.
Brooke didn't get you drunk.
And this fiasco isyour fault.
I didn't mean to get so out of control.
I was just so alone.
So confused.
The vodka doesn't help.
For what it's worth, Hayley must have loved you.
But not like you did.
Whatever we say about Hayley and Brooke, our love was special.
It still is.
No.
No, no, Billy.
No.
No.
Don't pull away.
Not now.
Not when I need you.
I know you still want me.
Please, Billy be the one person in my life who doesn't lie to me Even if it's only for one night.
In the shower, like the old days! Maybe this will sober you up.
Billy! Billy, where are you going? Billy, come back! O come all ye faithful Joyful and triumphant O come ye O come ye To Bethlehem Come and behold him Born the king of angels O come let us adore him O come let us adore him O come let us adore him Time to wake up.
It's 6:00 in the morning! I just thought we'd spend some quality time before you play golf with Bobby.
We could have the whole morning-- quality and quantity.
You can't cancel the game, you promised him.
Yeah, because you're so persuasive I just thought it'd be a nice gesture if you invited him.
Why, because Bobby's the good Parezi? That's right.
Even the FBI can't find anything against him.
Besides, how dangerous can golf be? You haven't seen him play.
I'd rather see you play.
[knock on door.]
Oh, God.
Not this early! Ugh! Ugh! You know, from now on, I vote that we sleep at my house.
[pounding on door.]
You sent Billy to Santa Barbara? Yes.
Goodbye.
I schedule an entire day of house hunting, and he goes running off to babysit some client? Well, maybe he was just running.
But Billy doesn't have any accounts in Santa Barbara.
No, Alison does.
Alison? Billy didn't tell you? Well, I'm sure he'll fill you in on all the juicy details when he gets home.
Bye-bye! You're supposed to be taking your clothes off.
Between your Bobby pillow talk and your neurotic tenants, I'm not in the mood.
You will be.
Getting-- getting there.
Oh, God! What are you doing here? Damage control again.
Oh, that's right.
You came here last night and we-- Didn't.
Billy, I can pack my own briefcase.
You can't blink without falling over.
I'm taking the meeting.
It's my client.
Not if you look like this.
I'll handle it, I was up all night going over your reports.
No, no, let me help.
I'll just-- I'll shower and I'll get dressed.
Do you know what's on the line here? This isn't just about your job.
You have a history, and your clients know it.
Oh, Billy, don't be so dramatic.
I had a few drinks.
I'll go to AA.
That's not gonna clean up your reputation.
Everyone knows you have a problem with alcohol.
And if they didn't, Brooke made sure they found out.
Oh, right, everybody's sitting around the circus tent, waiting for me to fall off the trapeze.
Which you did.
Now I have to bury the body.
So, sleep it off.
I'll be back tonight.
Mmm no.
Jane: I've narrowed it down, but I still can't decide who gets the center spread.
You want my opinion? Yeah, well, I know fabrics, you know faces.
I trust your judgment.
You haven't said a civil word to me in weeks, now you want my advice? Look, Jo, I'll admit it's been hard for me.
Getting started with this new company has been a rough road.
And Richard and I have been a giant pothole.
Yeah, well, you seem very happy together, and I can't hate you for having the good taste to fall for Richard.
Jane, I never meant to hurt you.
I know.
And it would mean a lot to me if we could just feel comfortable around each other.
I love my work, Jo, and I'd forgotten how lucky I am.
Richard gave me this wonderful second chance, and my jealousy almost destroyed it.
But I'm going to make it up to you, both of you.
Uh, Jane I need to see you in my office.
It's a private matter.
Now, before you say anything, I just apologized to Jo, and I want to do the same to you.
Oh, you don't have to, Jane.
So, we're losers in love, Richard, but we still have a great company together.
I'm the left brain, you're the right.
I'm making some changes.
You know that I've always dreamed of running a company of my own.
And I support that.
I think your new line is brilliant.
This is not about my new designs.
This is about Hart-Mancini.
[knocking.]
Uh, hi, it's urgent I need to see you, Richard.
Will you excuse us? Your timing really sucks, you know that? We can't kick her out of the company.
At least, not now.
You were the one who was pushing me to end this partnership.
I know, I know, but the press, it's gonna report that Richard Hart dumps Jane Mancini in business and in romance.
Well, she's done well on the rebound, she can't stop talking about how great things are with Michael.
And you believe her? The woman is hurting.
I mean, her company just went bankrupt, and there's no way she can get past that stigma that whatever she touches, turns to lead.
The contracts are drawn.
We've already opened new accounts.
Please.
I mean, it's almost Christmas.
You are really something, you know that? There you go.
Too bad Jane won't know what a great gift you just gave her.
Yeah So I blew it.
The minute I saw Jane and Michael together, I flipped out.
And what was Michael's reaction? Ballistic, threatened to kick me out of the house.
Sydney, no matter what Michael says, he doesn't want you to leave.
You're what Jane can never be, the perfect doctor's wife.
I'm trying.
I'm in his face all day, at home, at the office he just won't let me into his life! You need to focus.
Think, Sydney.
What do you have in common? Two weeks ago, I'd say it was hating you.
No offense.
What you have in common is Michael's career.
You want him to succeed.
Yeah, but it's hard when Peter keeps stealing the limelight.
Michael works his butt off, and then Peter gets the huge donation from Bobby Parezi.
Michael goes completely nuts, and then he takes it all out on me.
Michael's not satisfied with being a good doctor.
He wants power and prestige.
You could help him get it.
Right, and my real name is Genie, and I live in a bottle.
This is an invitation to the hospital's charity Christmas party.
The chairwoman is ill, and they need someone to handle the final details.
I think you should volunteer.
I can't do this.
Sydney, we both know you could sell porno to the pope if you put your mind to it.
Make the party special something Michael will never forget.
You know, I have been a wreck.
I can't sleep at night.
I'm working all day trying to keep Michael happy, and now this party.
Everyone will be there.
What if I screw up? What if it's a huge success, and you and Michael become big stars at Wilshire Memorial? God.
What if? I thought I was ready for this.
I'm going crazy, right? I'm crazy.
Sydney, I'm going to write you a prescription for 30 tranquilizers.
Take one at bedtime and get some sleep.
After all, you can't be an elegant party hostess and a whirling dervish.
Drugs? I mean, I know I'm all wound up-- Don't be nervous.
This is the drug they gave me in the hospital, and it works wonders.
Look at me.
Sorry, but looking at you still kind of gives me the creeps.
Well one step at a time, right? Hey, I could barely make it through the stockroom.
When did the delivery come in? Uh, today.
Placed a double order to get us through New Year's.
Jake, look, when I was strapped for cash, you gave me this job, and I appreciate everything you've done for me, but I'm, uh, quitting.
Did you find another job? Uh, no, but I can't keep this one knowing that my paycheck is setting you back.
You're quitting because you think I can't afford you? Look, even minimum wage adds up.
I know what Shelly did to you, and it's tough right now.
No offence, Matt, but if the day comes that I can't afford to pay you, I'm bankrupt.
Thanks for the offer, I appreciate it, but I took care of my money problems last week.
Great, what happened? Did your fairy godmother come to your rescue? Something like that.
[knock on door.]
God, Billy, what took you so long? There was no client emergency, was there, Alison? You dragged Billy up here just to get him in bed.
Oh, Brooke, you're not even close.
First you seduce my father, then you kill him, two weeks later you're after my husband? It's too bad you don't have a brother.
That's a joke, Brooke.
Nothing happened.
Your precious Billy is still your precious Billy.
Why should I believe anything you say? You're such a perverted bitch.
Yeah, it's a gift.
How dare you patronize me.
Well, then give me a choice, Brooke.
You storm in here completely irrational, making ludicrous accusations.
What's going on? You tell me.
One room, one night, one man, one slut.
If it isn't an affair, what is it? Okay, I won't lie to you.
Alison and I were together last night.
What? Damn you.
How could you do this to me? You promised not Alison.
I'm pregnant.
We're having a baby! Can't believe this.
I'm sorry.
I am so sorry.
Well, now that we have the truth, what does this affair mean? Nothing, it was one night and a big mistake.
I don't want to see you again, Alison.
I just risked everything for one empty moment.
From now on, just stay out of our lives.
Take me home now.
Are you nuts? Yeah, I think so.
I just put my whole marriage on the line for your career, so don't blow it.
Morning.
You know, if we're going to work this out, we need to talk.
Are you leaving me? No, I won't sacrifice our marriage over a one-night stand.
In a way, it's a relief.
I'll only tolerate one affair, Billy, and you blew yours on Alison.
How can you be so cold about this? What am I supposed to do? Go crazy over what a stupid, heartless thing you've done? I don't have that option, Billy, I'm pregnant.
And worst of all, I love you.
I love you, too.
I was up all night worried I had destroyed everything.
Well, you came really close.
Our family is very important to me, I I swear that I will be a good father and an even better husband.
Can we move away from here? I hate this place.
I hate these people.
We can talk about it.
While you were gone, I found a really beautiful house.
It's perfect.
Okay, I'll get dressed, and we'll go take a look at it.
Actually, I already bought it.
And one more thing.
Just because I forgive doesn't mean I forget.
If you ever stray again, I'll make sure that you never see your baby, and I mean it, Billy.
Well, you were right about talking this out.
I feel so much better.
Michael: I can't believe all these messages from Bobby.
How did you do that anyway, get a complete stranger to donate 100 grand? I didn't do anything.
Bobby is a transparent leach.
Yeah, well, count your blessings.
My leach has red hair and thinks she's Marla trump.
Where is Sydney? I sent her to the lab to pick up samples an hour ago.
She stopped to get my car washed.
Well, it was on the way.
Peter, I was wondering if you were free for lunch.
I'm sorry, I'm booked.
Well, I'm free.
Michael Mancini, Dr.
Mancini.
I'm Peter's partner.
You know, Peter and I go way back.
We once saved a patient together.
I think you know her-- Amanda Woodward.
I'm so stoked.
They just asked me to chair the fund-raiser Christmas eve.
Is that a total hoot or what? Hi, you're Bobby Parezi, aren't you? Bobby Parezi, Sydney Andrews.
Sorry about your brother.
Thank you.
Did you know Jack? Sort of, we met while he was in a coma, but he seemed like a nice guy.
Peter, I need a big favor.
I want this party to be kick-butt, so I was thinking maybe I could borrow your house.
No.
Oh.
Well, thanks for your support.
You know, Sydney, if it's a fundraise, I'd be willing to offer my home.
I just leased a house in Hancock park.
That's very uptown.
No offense, but no thanks.
Sydney, stop proving you're a nutbar.
She'll take it.
Good, my staff is at your disposal, Sydney.
I'm always willing to help a worthy cause.
So, Bobby, what about that lunch? I got a free hour to kill.
Why don't you kill it by catching up on billing you haven't submitted? What a kidder.
Come on, Parezi, your paisan Mancini's gonna take you to the best Italian kitchen in town.
Good, you drive, I'll buy.
See you, Peter, Sydney.
There goes a frightening picture.
Sydney, pull up that Sanders file for me.
Get it yourself.
It's under "S" as in Scrooge.
Brooke thinks Billy and I slept together, and he isn't talking to me.
I love having you for a friend, Alison.
Next to you, my life is normal.
Oh, right, is that why we're getting dressed up to go to a party so you can flirt with your ex-husband in the hopes of landing your ex-fiancé? Okay, maybe not.
Wait till you see these dresses I picked out.
Shoot, it's locked.
Keys are in here.
So, you gonna be home for dinner tonight? Um, late, I have to go to my AA meeting, then I'll come by and pick up the rest of my boxes.
They want me out.
This contract cuts me out of the company.
Oh, it must be a mistake.
They can't do this.
Yeah, I didn't think Jo could steal my fiancé, either.
God, what a witch.
Richard wasn't enough, now she wants to take everything from me.
Need a hand? Go away, Billy.
The last thing I need to see is both sides of your face in one day.
So are you moving in? Amanda's renting me your old apartment.
And let me save you the tirade.
Starting over wasn't my idea.
Living in the same building with you and Brooke is the last thing I want.
Well, we won't be here long 'cause Brooke just bought a new house.
For the baby? That is where she got the money, the baby's trust fund.
It's none of your business.
You just don't understand my relationship with Brooke.
And you do? Give me a break.
Want to know the truth? I didn't sleep with you because I didn't want to.
In AA, we call that denial.
Well, I won't deny that I'm married.
I'm going to do whatever it takes to be right there for my child.
I'm not going to be a sick joke of a parent like your father, and definitely not like Hayley.
Oh, that's nice.
A good father in a loveless marriage.
You think a kid doesn't pick up on that? If Brooke and I have any trouble, it's because I spend all my time worrying about you.
You go blind, and I want to help.
Your husband dies, and I feel bad.
But that's all we have left is my worry and my guilt.
And I can't do it anymore, Alison, all right? I won't give up my family and my happiness just 'cause your life's a damn mess.
Fine, Billy.
You keep trying to convince yourself it's my fault you don't love your wife.
Oh, and for the record, you didn't want to sleep with me? Bull.
It's really very funny.
I was in 10th grade playing Tony in "West Side Story.
" A big, macho hood.
Yeah, who sings and dances.
Anyway, it's opening night, right after the big rumble, and I'm in Maria's arms.
Ooh, very romantic.
Except there are watching me kiss this girl, and I look over her shoulder, and it hits me.
I'd rather kiss one of them.
That's how you found out that you were gay? I swear to God.
I swear to God.
So, when did you figure it out? Oh, early on.
Ten maybe.
I didn't do anything about it for eight years.
Keeping it a secret was probably what made it much harder on my folks, but, you know, I was scared.
So, what brought you out? Senior prom.
Everybody was going up to this cabin out in the woods, and I didn't want to go.
There was this big guy, Derrick, and he says, "What's the matter, Fielding? What, are you gay?" And I looked at him, I looked at my date, and I said, "Yeah, as a matter of fact, I am.
" So, what's next on the date agenda? Shooters.
Nice ambiance, fun clientele, and I get an employee discount on drinks.
We're there.
Perfect.
[knock on door.]
Come on in, Peter.
The door's open.
Amanda Parezi? Uh Amanda Woodward.
Who are you? Fred Morrow and Doug Stevens.
We're with the FBI.
I'm sure your mothers are very proud.
If you'll excuse me.
We had an interesting fax from our Miami office today.
Funny thing, they think you're dead.
What do you want? To offer our sympathies.
You've had a tough, tough couple of years, haven't you.
First, your father's blown to bits on a boat you used to own.
And then your ex-husband falls off a balcony.
[scoffing.]
Your point? It's just to give you some advice.
Reconsider your friendship with Bobby Parezi.
He's as dirty as his old man.
If I'm supposed to feel threatened, I don't.
If you had anything on Bobby, you would have arrested him by now.
So peddle your harassment somewhere else.
Be careful, lady.
You have a real knack for attracting bad seeds.
Whoa, looks like Santa's village blew up in here.
Isn't it great? It's for the party.
Check out these centerpieces.
I saw them on Martha Stewart, but I added a few things because I thought hers were a little boring.
Yeah, Sydney, um, what's this? Oh, it's your Since I'm the hostess, I get to pick the keynote speaker, and I pick you.
It'll be so cool, Michael, you get to stand up there in front of all those stuffy doctors, and I get to stand right next to you.
And you did all this for me? I expect a loving thank you in your speech.
Now leave me alone.
I've got a lot of work to do.
Oh, not so fast, where's the money? You did manage time this morning to do your real job? Yes, I did your banking.
Boy, you really don't trust me, do you? Hold this.
Here, maybe you should count it just to make sure I didn't sacrifice my job and our relationship over a whopping 30 bucks.
What the hell is this? A tranquilizer.
You're a doctor, you should know that.
Not the drug, the prescribing physician! A Dr.
K.
Shaw? Oh that.
Well, yeah.
I'm seeing Kimberly.
You're-- Listen.
You are seeing Kimberly professionally? I mean, what could you possibly have to talk about? Things! Mostly, you! Don't ever discuss me with anyone, especially Kimberly.
Understand? No, I don't.
Kimberly is really good, Michael.
She helps me.
God, she's probably using us as a research project.
I'll be the cover story in "Wacko Weekly.
" Kimberly does care, Michael.
My hosting this party was her idea.
She knows I want to help you.
Yeah, well, what's in it for her? Don't be such a worry wart.
Thanks to Kimberly, our life is going to be wonderful.
Dr.
Fisher.
I'm sorry it took so long, Mrs.
Campbell.
I had to run the new test twice.
Mrs.
Campbell, the results are negative.
Oh, God, no.
It can't be, I had a miscarriage? I'm afraid you were never pregnant.
The lab traced the problem to technician error.
Apparently, your sample was switched with another.
I don't understand.
The first test was positive.
I've been fighting morning sickness for weeks.
It's rare, but it does happen.
You wanted a baby so much, your body created physical symptoms.
It's not true.
I know this is very upsetting.
If you'd like to talk to someone, I can recommend a good therapist.
That won't be necessary.
Perhaps you'd like me to explain the situation to your husband.
No.
Thank you, Dr.
Fisher.
Ahem! You're counseling Sydney? I'm so glad she finally told you.
She's making great progress.
You look, you might have done a lot of fieldwork at Fruit Loop Farms, but you are not qualified! I'm gonna have to stop you, Michael.
This tone and that behavior aren't conducive to a productive discussion.
You want productive? I'll produce a damn lawsuit! I'm certified to take any patient who chooses to see me.
It's unethical! Are you worried about Sydney getting healthy? What could you possibly have to fear? Oh, this is good.
Dr.
Kim's going to try to analyze me.
Don't waste the few brain cells you have left.
I could get better advice in a fortune cookie.
There really is no need for this hostility, Michael.
Now, I know you're uncomfortable-- Oh, no, no, you know what I am? I am the only sane person I know, and that scares the hell out of me.
Now, listen to me, Kim, if you ever do anything to mess up my life, I'll personally remove that plate in your head, screw by screw.
Wow, this is a surprise.
Sorry I didn't call.
Your house is just beautiful.
Sydney's done a lot of work.
Yes, I see.
It's very festive.
Can I get you a drink? No, thanks, I'm here on business.
Sorry if I'm confused.
I didn't think we did business anymore.
I re-evaluated my decision after I saw your new artwork, and I realized you deserve better.
I deserve the best.
Yes, that's why I'd like you to bring your account back to D&D.
What, are you a few clients short for your Christmas bonus? Things have changed.
You run the cable company.
Now that Jack's dead.
Yeah, it was unfair, I let my history with Jack influence my decision.
But I want to help you make this company a success.
Why do I feel that there's something more to this newfound generous spirit? Agent Morrow and his sidekick paid me a visit.
You okay? I'm fine.
It was more annoying than frightening.
They followed me.
Damn it, I'm sorry I got you dragged into this, Amanda.
It's not just your problem.
After what Daddy pulled, I'm sure someone gets promoted if they nail me, too.
We both had to fight the mistakes of our fathers.
I don't care what my father did or what Jack did.
I just want people to stop rubbing my nose in it.
I moved away, I changed my name.
Trust me, I know how hard it is to break free.
Then why did you let Morrow railroad you downtown last week? What choice did I have, Amanda? If I argue, they think I'm hiding something.
And if you go quietly, they think the same thing.
We've both played by the rules, and it doesn't work.
I'm not gonna do it anymore.
I'm tired of being pushed around.
No one's going to tell me who to see and who to do business with.
And I do believe in you.
Good.
When do we start? Next week.
See you tomorrow night.
Oh, my God.
Look at what you've done.
I figured even though we're packing to move, we still deserve Christmas.
Oh.
You should have called, I was getting worried.
I know it's a little early, but I just couldn't resist getting some things for the baby.
Oh! I've never seen you like this.
I'm happy.
I like having a future to look forward to.
We're going to save the rest for tomorrow, but there's one thing I want you to have now.
So come and sit down.
Oh! Oh! Oh, it's beautiful.
See, we're on this side, and the other side's for a picture of the baby.
[gasps.]
I wish I could give you more.
I don't even know how to thank you for the gift that you're carrying inside.
Oh, Billy [sobbing.]
It's a Christmas present from a very dear friend of mine.
[bell tinkles.]
Look, Daddy! Teacher says every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings.
That's right.
That's right.
[knock on door.]
Ta-da! What do you think? Alison you are in no condition to watch "It's A Wonderful Life.
" [sighs.]
Look at you! I thought you weren't going to the party.
Well, change of tactics.
I'm not going to penalize myself just because Richard and Jo are two-timing, rotten crooks.
And there's gonna be a ton important people at the party, and I plan on schmoozing every one of them.
And I brought this dress for you.
Oh, Jane I am really not in the mood.
[sighs.]
That's because it's Christmas eve, and you're feeling very alone.
Trust me, Christmas has been no picnic this year for me, either.
And we haven't done anything wrong.
I think that we, at least, deserve a decent holiday.
And if we hide, the Richards, Jos, and Brookes of this world are gonna win.
I say we go give 'em hell.
[both laughing.]
Please? All right.
You win.
[knock on door.]
[Peter.]
Hello? Hello.
Hel-lo! Hello Hey, handsome, I'm ready.
I left the finishing touches for you.
Oh.
Um Up or down? Really? Listen [smack.]
I've been thinking about it, and I changed my mind.
We're not going to this party.
Wha-- Excuse me, aren't you the one who insisted we spend Christmas eve networking with the hospital brass? That's before the location was changed to Bobby's house.
Oh, as much as you would like to see him fail, Bobby might become a huge success.
I agreed to bring his account back to D&D.
You what? I can't believe this! It was a business decision.
I'm not looking for input.
If you don't want to go to this party to promote your career, then we'll go to promote mine.
Of course, that doesn't mean we have to be on time.
Uh-uh, hey, not now, huh? I'd like to be angry for a little while.
You just can't kiss your way out of this.
Oh, yeah? Watch me.
Mm-mmm! Mm-hmm.
Mm-mmm.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
[chuckles.]
Yep.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
That old time Christmas magic stocking Too much work man: Bobby's got a really nice place.
I really like it.
I could get used to this.
You've done a fabulous job, Sydney.
Thank you, Mrs.
Pemberton.
If I don't introduce you, introduce yourself.
Oh, your sister's here, sweetheart.
Why don't I bring her in? Michael: Jane? Well, you pulled it off.
Yeah, thanks for letting us use your house.
Now maybe you'll tell me why you were reluctant.
Because I know who you are, Bobby.
You're Amanda's mobster.
As intriguing as that sounds, I'm not that clever.
Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.
Your secret is safe with me.
Bingo.
Damn! It's only local paparazzi.
Hey, that's government property.
It's an invasion of privacy.
Mrs.
Parezi, unless you want to spend Christmas eve in jail, I suggest you back the hell off.
Hey, hey, hey, what's going on here? Ask your date, Dr.
Burns.
Come on.
All right, I'm all ears.
His name is Fred Morrow, he's an FBI agent.
He called you by name.
And he called you Dr.
Burns.
It's not a compliment, he knows everyone.
And you knew him.
It's a long story, trust me.
He's nothing more than a government suit trying to justify his job.
By staking out Bobby Parezi's house? This is neither the time nor the place.
Let's go inside.
Well, Jane certainly is in the spirit of the season.
Well, we could all use a little levity right now.
Levity? Jane hasn't stopped hyping herself since she got here.
Richard It's true, the way she's working the room, you'd think she punched a time card at the front door.
Well, if you'll excuse me.
Peter, I haven't seen you all night.
Well, you know the game.
Parties like this are mostly about networking.
Which I tend to do to a fault.
I know I come on strong, Peter.
Maybe I pushed a bit hard.
But I would like for us to be friends.
Because we have so much in common? A few things, yes.
Like Amanda.
That's such a lie.
If you gave a damn about Amanda, you wouldn't drag her back into your mess of a life.
Amanda told you about the FBI.
Unfortunately, it's another thing we have in common.
The FBI doesn't want Amanda, they never have.
They want you! Peter, you're a little hot right now.
And I care enough about Amanda not to ruin her Christmas.
You don't want to be my friend, I can live with that.
And right now I'm not exactly crazy about you either.
Bobby! I'm leaving.
You come if you like.
Amanda-- It's not your fault.
He was angry before we got here.
I love him, Bobby.
If we can't convince him we can work together, something will have to go, and it won't be Peter.
Time for your nap, Jane.
Oh! Sorry, Syd.
Am I hogging your man? Fresh drink for my favorite sister.
Thank you.
Hey, what about mine? Get your own, twinkle toes.
Jake: Hey, you guys back again? I thought you two would be at Sydney's fancy pants party.
Ah, yeah, it was a little too fabulous for us.
That, and I wasn't invited.
I'm not a valued employee anymore, just another lowly medical student.
Who's always welcome here.
On the house.
Hey, thank you.
You know what, I wonder if I'll ever be invited-- you know what I mean, in ten years from now, if I'll be a member of that exclusive doctors' club.
You know, it's been a long time since I've seen somebody on a regular basis.
Two dates is regular? Oh, for me, it's, uh it's, um, damn near a commitment.
Um, maybe we should talk about this.
Um maybe my place.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
Good.
Jane, Jane, Jane, I can't do this anymore.
Can we take a break, please? Come on, Michael.
I'm just getting warmed up.
That's what you wanted, right? Me all warmed up for you? All right, coming, coming.
Great party, Sydney.
I am so proud of you.
Oh, thanks.
Can I ask you something? Those tranquilizers you gave me, are there any side effects? Have you had any problems? No, I haven't taken any.
But just in case, you know, I want to know what to look for.
Uh, well, people's reactions vary.
Some fall asleep just looking at the bottle.
And others feel the opposite effect.
They can get very hyper.
Oh.
And I wouldn't advise you taking one tonight.
With the amount of champagne you've had, any reaction would be very severe.
I won't.
Thanks.
[microphone feedback whines.]
Sydney, it's time for the presentation.
[Jane squeals.]
Jane, you're crazy! We shouldn't even be up here.
Shh! Shh! Why not? It's a guest room, Michael, we're guests.
[Sydney.]
Thank you, thank you very much.
And now the award for the Wilshire Memorial Scholarship.
[panting.]
This year, I am very proud to say, it will be presented by my own very personal physician Dr.
Michael Mancini.
[applause.]
Jane! Hey, can you hear me? Jane! Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, I killed her.
I present Dr.
Michael Mancini.
Michael: Help! Somebody dial 911!
