Melrose Place s05e04 Episode Script
2396129 - Hunka Hunka Burnin' Love
Stupid lock.
Oh, my God.
Are you ok? Yeah, I'm fine.
Who are you to ask? I'm Samantha, Jane's roommate.
I--we met.
Are you sure you didn't hurt yourself? The lock's just messed up, all right? It's none of your business, so just leave me alone.
Yeah, think I'll do that.
Jerk.
Kimberly? Why are you sitting in the dark? I thought we were going out to dinner.
The medical board is reviewing my license.
Oh, that's probably just a formality.
No, it makes perfect sense.
After all, what kind of life can I be allowed to have, considering the kind of life I've led? You're allowed to be happy like anyone else.
I don't think that's true anymore.
I'm not sure I deserve happiness or pleasure.
Come on, everyone deserves that.
Sweetie.
What? What's the matter? You're not, um-- no.
No, I'm not Betsy.
That's all over.
It's just all this thinking about the past and the future.
I'm not really in the mood.
You must understand that, don't you? Yeah, I guess.
Maybe maybe you could just lie here with me for awhile instead.
As in, "just hold me?" Mm-hmm.
They say that this kind of intimacy can be just as fulfilling as sex.
Oh, yeah? I never heard that.
When you're shattered and you just don't care My heart's been broken baby I've been there There are times when it seems like There's no way out The sky I falling and your world is blue Faith is gone don't know what to do Take my hand let me lead the way From the darkest night to a brand new day Darlin' I see your pain Just like the falling rain Married life is so convenient, if you know what I mean.
Sorry, sweetie.
No time.
Where are you off to so early? Well, someone has to reclaim the helm at Burns-Mancini.
Peter, you were just released from jail.
Don't you think you should take a breather and not just jump into a routine right away? No time to waste, Amanda.
Now is when we embrace life, move forward.
Which brings me to the subject of packing.
When can you start? Packing for what? Well, naturally, I thought that we'd live at my place.
I mean, we're married, after all.
Which means reaching a decision mutually.
Shouldn't we discuss this first? Well, what's to discuss, huh? I live in a beautiful house, you live in a dinky apartment.
Dinky? Enough said, huh? Meet me there tonight at 8:00.
We'll go over the particulars of merging furniture.
Why'd you leave me last night? Did you spend the night here? Yeah, I didn't really feel like being at the apartment building.
Besides, it gave me a chance to sort some things out.
And you needed to be away from me to do that? Yeah, I did.
You know, the bottom line is we got together pretty quick, and thinking didn't have a whole hell of a lot to do with it.
Maybe this is a good time for us to step back, take a look at the situation from all sides.
Logically, you know what I mean? The only logical thing to do is to bring our relationship out in the open.
Well, it's not that easy.
There's other people involved.
What other people? Oh.
This is about Jane, isn't it? The last thing she needs is for Billy to put some ugly spin on this thing.
Especially after everything she's been through.
I see.
So your concern for her is the real reason we've been skulking around, keeping this whole thing under wraps.
Come on.
We've been bending over backwards to protect your precious Billy.
That was a decision we made together.
Yeah.
You know what? I'm over it.
The only people that matter in this are you and me.
And anybody who can't handle that can just go to hell for all I care.
You're going to tell Billy that? Yeah, I think I will.
Michael in? I need to talk to him.
No, he has surgery, but, coincidentally, I need to talk to you.
Messages? Um uh, listen, while you were gone, things got a little tight around here.
Sydney, it's your job to pay the bills, not talk to me about them.
Return these calls, please.
Ok, but I really think that we need to discuss the-- There can't be more, can there? There's someone waiting for you in your office.
I'm sorry.
I hope you haven't been waiting too long, uh, Mrs.
McBride.
So, how can I help you today? By telling me that I look familiar to you.
Well, I'm not sure that you do.
Have we met? You might have seen me at the apartment building that your wife owns.
I just moved in.
Oh, of course.
Right, right.
Well, the truth be known, I haven't been around much lately.
Well, one of the neighbors-- uh, Matt, I think it was-- told me that I should see you.
I have a heart murmur.
It's something that I've had ever since I was a child in Missouri.
It's a family condition.
My father had it, too.
I see.
Why don't we make an appointment with the receptionist for a full physical, and then, we'll, um-- we'll take it from there, all right? Uh, Taylor, right? Right.
Good.
It was very nice meeting you, Doctor.
Well, likewise, I'm sure.
I'll see you soon.
[siren blaring.]
I'll be right back with you.
Hold up there, big guy.
Let's have a look.
Look, midterms are over, all right? I'm caught up and drug-free.
Oh, Dr.
Schulman doesn't seem to think so.
She's got her eye on you, Matt, you and your pill-popping friends.
And thanks to your prescription pad hijinks, she's eyeballing me, too.
Oh.
That explains your heartfelt concern.
Look, I missed a lot of classes because I was sick.
I needed to make up for it, all right? I just needed a little help, that's all.
It wasn't enough to get anybody in trouble, the least of all you.
Oh, that's a good one.
I used that one myself before.
Look, you think you're the only one who's ever needed help in med school? I started taking speed to get through exams, too.
Pretty soon, I needed a boost to get through rounds.
Then rotations.
I was on schedule, all right, but the pills were in charge of it.
Uppers for work, downers for sleep.
Mike, I appreciate your story.
Really.
But it's not mine.
I'm all right.
Let me tell you something, Matt.
I may not be the poster boy for family values, but I was smart enough to get clean.
And, for both our sakes, you'd better be, too.
[car approaches.]
Dom Perignon, Peter, we really should talk about this "moving in together" business.
Mm-hmm.
Ok, well, we'll talk later, all right? Right now I have a bride to carry over my threshold.
Oh, God.
What? Oh, Peter, this is silly.
Welcome home, darling.
Excuse me.
Melissa, Timmy, get over here.
Excuse--hello? Excuse me! You have squatters.
Can I help you folks? Yeah, you can get the hell out of my house.
Oh, you must be Peter Burns.
Yes, I am, and you're trespassing, you and your entire tribe.
I'm sorry, but my clients happen to be the new owners of this property.
It was sold while you were incarcerated.
I'm his wife, and no one gave anyone permission to sell this house.
Well, from what I understand, his office manager authorized the sale.
Sydney? How could Sydney do this? She can't.
That's impossible.
Not only is it possible, escrow closed yesterday.
Well, I don't care what closed, but you're on my property, honey.
Peter, calm down.
I'm not calming down.
You are the trespasser here, Dr.
Burns, and I hope I am not going to have to call the police.
This is insane! She's going to call the police if we don't leave.
I don't care what she does.
Do you know what this is? This a setup, some kind of scam or something! And we will take care of it tomorrow.
You bet I will, and by putting my hands around Sydney's neck and strangling her to death, the first thing in the morning.
And her, too.
You've already had one close call between you and a murder charge.
I'll be damned if there's another.
Amanda! Hi.
Hi.
You remember that lock.
It still sticks.
So what brings you to my humble abode? Come by to tell me to be discreet about what I know? Actually, I couldn't care less about that.
I just wanted to make sure that you understood the only reason we didn't tell you about us sooner is because we were trying to protect you.
Oh, is that right? Yes, it is, and now that you know, I hope that you'll be mature enough to give us your blessing.
My blessing? Hmm.
So let me ask you this: that night that I waited for you at dinner, and, you know, you never showed? You slept with him that night, didn't you? You must think I'm pretty stupid.
It wasn't like that.
Sure it is.
You enjoy pulling the wool over my eyes.
Why not? You're good at it.
This whole time we've known each other I had no idea you were such a slut.
If you need to hate me to get over this, that's fine.
It takes too much energy to hate.
Oh, damn it, just yell at me! Don't just pretend you've dealt with it.
Drop by anytime, Alison.
Oh, and all the best to your boyfriend.
Hi.
Must've taken the same rude pill you did the other night.
Sydney.
Did you really think I wouldn't notice a family of four in my house? Well, I tried to tell you yesterday, but you wouldn't listen.
And with the legal bills you were running up in the pokey, bankruptcy was the only other option.
What a crock.
What illegal strings did you pull to carry off this little swindle? Everything I did was under the letter of the law, I swear.
Well, then, tell me, Sydney, how'd you do it? Well, Mr.
Tax-dodger, if you hadn't listed your house and all of its contents under the corporation, then I wouldn't have been able to.
But as part-owner and office manager, I had the authority to sell any and all assets necessary to keep the business afloat.
I'm sure once you get over the initial shock, you'll thank me.
I guess that solves the dilemma of where we'll be living.
Oh, and that BMW lease? You have two days to return it.
Sydney-- You're welcome? You're fired.
I think not.
We had a deal, remember? I stay on permanently, or the sexual harassment suit goes to the courts.
I've been in jail, Sydney.
For murder.
A sexual harassment suit would be a walk in the park.
You give and you give and you give, and still no appreciation.
Get out! [man.]
Good job.
Thanks.
I'm going to lunch.
Well the construction crew is on lunch break.
What do you say we christen the place? Hey.
Baby, why are you crying? It's nothing.
I'm ok.
No, it's not nothing.
You've been moody since yesterday.
What's going on? I'm just not so sure that we should've come here.
The people here are really different.
They're inaccessible.
How would you feel about going home? This is some kind of test, isn't it? You make me say yes to every damn thing you want, and somehow that proves I love you? Kyle, please, let's not get into that.
I made a mistake one time.
Once.
I told you it wouldn't happen again.
I promised you that, and I meant it.
Moving to Los Angeles, that-- that was a way for both of us to start clean.
I'll be damned if I take a step backwards from here.
I'm just not sure this city is going to give us what we want.
Then we will take it.
Dr.
Shaw, we've called you here because of a report we've received made by a nurse formerly employed at a mental facility, Willowbridge Institute.
In it, she details acts of gross misconduct and abuse which occurred while you were acting director there.
Based on this, we have no alternative but to suspend your license for a period of 90 days until a further determination can be made.
Is there anything you would like to say to the board in your own defense? I guess-- I guess I'm not surprised by your decision.
When I reflect on all the terrible things that have happened during the past two years, it seems very clear, even to me, that I'm not fit to practice medicine.
Sweetie, I don't think you should be saying things like this.
No, it's ok.
Let me finish.
Effective immediately, I wish to surrender my medical license.
You can't do this.
That's crazy.
No, it's the right thing to do.
Finally.
It's the right thing to do.
Don't tell me.
My first installment on my loan is due.
Oh, Jane, don't be ridiculous.
You have until the end of the week.
I just came by to see how things were going.
You left work just for that? It must be nice to have such flexible hours.
Actually, my hours are more flexible than ever.
I got fired.
Oh, my God.
You're kidding me.
Wow.
Is there anything I can do? Well, as a matter of fact, I was thinking, wouldn't it be cool if I were to come and work here? I mean, I'm sure you could use the extra help, what with the grand opening coming up, and I could waive the loan.
In fact, I could invest more money.
We could be partners.
You know what? I think that's a great idea.
You do? Yes.
It just gives me another opportunity to put the past behind me and get back to normal with everyone in my life, including you.
Wow.
Jane, that-- I'm touched.
Hey, Syd.
Hi.
Sam, guess what? Syd's going to be joining us at the boutique.
Really? That's great.
Yeah.
Of course, we'll have to rework some of your shifts to accommodate mine.
[door opens.]
Hey, Billy.
Excuse me.
Hey, Jane.
This is a nice store.
Thanks.
Hey, listen, we're having a grand opening party day after tomorrow.
Yeah, it's going to be a big bash.
There's going to be food, drinks, music, the works.
Well, Syd's exaggerating just a little bit, but there will be food and drink.
Are Jake and Alison going to be here? Yeah.
I want all my friends to be here.
Yeah, friends.
Well, count me in.
Great.
No music? So, I asked around to find out where you worked because I wanted to come by and apologize and invite you to dinner.
Gee, you know, I don't think so.
Why not? Well, first impressions mean a lot to me, and when it involves the destruction of property, I tend to pay extra special attention.
Look, I had a lousy day, and, you know, the lock jammed.
I got a little frustrated.
To say the least.
In spite of what you might think, I am a nice guy, and I would like to prove it to you.
I'd also like to hear your life story.
Yeah, right.
I thought we'd grab a bite, catch a movie, that would at least get us through junior high, I think.
How about tomorrow night at 7:00? You know, if my mother were here, she would tell me to drop you like a hot potato.
But she's not.
What the hell.
Greg: To the end of midterms.
Chug-a-lug! All right, that's it for me, guys.
We're not done celebrating yet.
What about the dance club, and staying up all night? What can I say? I'm-- I'm beat, all right? I'll see you guys later.
Have a good one.
Matt.
Hey.
So, why're you bagging out on us? I just don't have it in me to pull another all-nighter.
Sure you do.
I got something.
It gives you a lot of energy and a damn good time.
Hey, I'm watching my drug intake these days, you know? Midterms had me practically addicted, if you can believe that.
We're not talking about anything habit-forming.
It's a one-time thing.
It's a party favor.
Besides, there's someone I want to introduce you at the club.
He's a great guy, and I told him all about you.
Jane! Hi.
Hi.
Hi.
I haven't seen you in a while.
How've you been? Great, since I opened my own boutique.
Yeah, I heard.
Congratulations.
How about a drink on the house? Oh, no, thanks.
I just came by to ask you if well, it would mean a lot to me if you came to the boutique's grand opening.
It's day after tomorrow.
It's sort of a new beginning for me, and I'd love for you to be part of it.
To be honest with you, I didn't even know if we were friends anymore.
I can't believe you'd think that for a minute.
I mean, I know things got a little twisted, but it was a twisted situation.
But it's behind us now, right? So you'll come to the opening, won't you? Sure.
Good.
I'll see you then.
Hey, Billy.
Hey.
Hey.
I'll have a beer.
Sure.
So how're you doing? Fine.
Why do you ask? Come on, man, you know what I'm talking about.
You mean, how am I taking the fact that you'redoing Alison? It doesn't bother me.
Just saw Jane on the way in.
How'd she take the happy news? She doesn't know yet, and I would appreciate it if you didn't say anything until Alison and I had a chance to talk to her.
Well, you got to be interested in something to want to talk about it, and I don't give a damn, so you don't have anything to worry about.
Keep the change.
[sighs.]
What was in that damn pill? [tires squeal.]
[horn honks.]
[honk.]
[breathing hard.]
operator: 911.
State your emergency, please.
Help--help I ca--can't breathe Listen, Kimberly, I'll be home around 7:00.
I was thinking maybe you can make that linguini dish.
For dinner, you know? To-- Kimberly? Good morning.
Hey, I didn't even know you were up yet.
Why are you dressed like that? Like what? Like you have a job interview or something? Put on your sweats, for God's sakes.
Lounge.
You're supposed to be taking it easy.
Unlike me.
I got to get a move on.
I'll just grab my jacket and go with.
Uh, honey, it's not my first day of school.
I'm just going to work.
I know.
So am I.
Um, you surrendered your license, remember? You have no work.
Actually, Peter fired Sydney, and he hired me to replace her.
I am your temporary receptionist.
Y-you? Isn't it going to be wonderful? Oh.
He hired you? Well, I mean, I'm just going to be filling in for a little while.
Imagine it: we'll work together, play together, and live together It may even increase our intimacy.
Intimacy? We'll be on top of each other.
Exactly.
Isn't that the way you like it? Come on Ohh Amandado you have a minute? Just.
I have both an apology and a proposition for you.
First off, my going to your husband's trial was simply idle curiosity.
I had actually read about the case in the paper, and frankly, I was fascinated, so if my being there offended you in any way, I'm sorry.
Fine.
What's the proposition? Well, my husband and I are opening up a restaurant in the area, and we need an advertiser, and we've heard through the grapevine that you're the best there is so we would like to hire you.
Well, I guess the grapevine forgot to mention that I'm president of national accounts, so I have either little or no interest in mom-and-pop outfits.
Well, we have another restaurant in Boston, and we're about to go national.
Good.
Call me when that happens.
Look, why don't you at least come by, see what we're all about before you make any decisions? How about today for lunch? What if I decide not to work with you? Well then, at least, you will have had a really great meal.
For an hour of my time? It better be fantastic.
You told the E.
R.
Doctor you thought you were having a heart attack? It's--I--that's right, I thought I was.
And you just neglected to mention that you were as high as a kite on P.
C.
P.
? It's in the report.
Go ahead and read it.
All right, look, all right, I admit that there was nothing physically wrong with me.
It was just--look, I just hyperventilated a little, I freaked out a little, right? A misdiagnosis on my part.
Listen to yourself, Matt.
You're hooked.
Oh, honey, cut the drama.
You know, what I took last night was a mistake, ok? I don't have any more of it, I don't want any more.
It's simple.
You know, I've been thinking about this, and you leave me no choice but to report this to Dr.
Schulman.
What? Well, it's the only way to make you stop and think about your actions.
What, you think you're some kind of moral barometer? That's a joke! Get your hands off me.
You do anything to damage my med school standing, and I will nail your self-serving ass to the wall by telling Schulman you sold me that prescription.
Hell, I'll tell her you sold me that P.
C.
P.
I took last night.
So drop the threat, 'cause it doesn't mean squat to me.
As a matter of fact, neither do you.
Ok, if that's the way you want to play it, fine.
But from now on, you're on your own.
Amanda, hi.
So glad you could make it.
Kyle, you remember Amanda, our landlord, and hopefully our future advertising rep.
I appreciate you sacrificing your lunch hour for us.
I think my pumpkin agnolotti will make it well worth your while.
Please have a seat.
Taylor, won't you pour some wine? Thank you.
I'll be in the kitchen.
So.
This is quite an arrangement you have here, husband-and-wife business team.
So, he's the chef and what is it you do? Everything else.
Oh, so it was your decision to move here? Well, at the risk of being too personal, both Kyle and I agreed that L.
A.
was about as far away as you could get from Boston.
Problems back home? You could say that.
He had an affair.
But marriage is a funny thing, you know? It goes through changes and keeps on ticking.
But I don't have to tell you that, do I? Ha.
Well, call me old-fashioned, but I don't consider infidelity a change.
If my husband were ever unfaithful-- not that he would be-- but our marriage would be over faster than you can say "settlement.
" Soshall we get down to business? Yeah.
Mmm.
This bread is so good.
Do you want some? No thanks.
Mmm.
So, let's hear it.
Tell me--tell me the story of your life.
Well, I can start by saying there is not a restaurant this nice in my hometown.
Which is Crisfield, Maryland.
Mmm.
[mouth full.]
Oh, my God, it's so good.
You want one? No.
Mmm.
Mmm.
So, anyway, it's a little town on the eastern shore.
My parents, they still live there.
She's a beautician, my mom, and dad's a waterman.
And it's pretty, but it's just not suited for someone who's interested in art, which I am, so I focused really hard, and I managed to get a scholarship to RISD-- Rhode Island School of Design, and then after that I left home and moved there, and I studied-- Is some-- is something wrong? I don't think I can do this.
Oh, God It's because I talk so much, isn't it? I always try to be aware of how much I'm saying, and I always forget, and I've said too much.
No, that's not it.
[laughs.]
The last time I came here was when Alison stood me up and slept with my best friend, so I thought that I'd come here again with you, you know, somebody wonderful, and make me get over it.
But It didn't, so you want to go.
I'm sorry.
It was a stupid idea.
No, it's ok.
We'll leave.
Look, I meant it when I said that I wanted to get to know you better.
It's fine.
Really.
Another time.
Yeah, another time.
[knock knock.]
Jane.
Hi.
Hi.
I just came by to check out your new place.
Sure.
Come in.
Thanks.
Oh, I love it.
It's nice.
I really wish we hadn't been so estranged lately, but it's been difficult, you know? Yeah, everything with Richard.
I'm so sorry.
Well, thankfully, it's all in the past.
Alison, can I be honest with you? Of course.
I'm really here because I miss our friendship.
I mean, we used to be so close.
It just doesn't seem right that we aren't anymore, and I was hoping I could take a step towards redeeming that by inviting you to my grand opening.
Oh.
That'd be terrific.
Really? Really.
Good.
Thanks for being such a good friend in spite of everything that's happened.
Well, I better get going.
Isn't this one of Jake's shirts? Oh! Uh, you know, he helped me do some moving.
Probably just left here accidentally.
Oh, well, do you want me to take it back to the apartments and drop it off? Yeah! Yeah, that'd be great.
Thanks.
Ok.
Good night.
Night.
Good night.
Jake.
Hi.
Hi.
I'm glad you made it.
Yeah, me, too.
The place looks great.
Thanks.
Can I get you another, sir? Yup.
There you go.
Jane: That's a lot of fun.
Party's going great.
Jake: Yeah, great.
You want something to eat? Or drink? Yeah.
Which one? Drink.
Well, looks like you've got quite a success on your hands.
Yeah, well, I decided this morning that as long as you two showed, it wouldn't matter if anyone else did.
Hey.
Hey.
Look, I was just going to invite Jake for dinner afterwards.
Why don't you come along as well? Oh, listen, I'd love to, but I'm really tired from work.
Can I take a raincheck? Of course.
Yeah, you know, I can't make it either.
I got to close up Shooters.
Oh.
Well, it's all right.
We'll do it another time.
Sydney: Jane, some customers over there want to talk about design, of all things.
Could you handle it? Of course.
Excuse me.
So.
How do you like my place? Well, Jane and mine's.
We're business partners now.
That's news.
Yeah.
I didn't realize you were that close.
Yeah, well, we've been bonding in a very big way lately.
I guess I could say the same thing about you two.
I wasn't sure I'd see you here.
Well, I had to show.
If nothing else, to give you this.
Sting at the Hollywood Bowl.
I thought this was sold out weeks ago.
Oh, I called in a favor because I wanted to do something to make up for not getting past appetizers last night.
One ticket.
How thoughtful.
Yeah.
See, there's a catch.
You have to well, you're stuck with me for the entire evening.
Sorry.
[hits spoon on glass.]
Can I have everyone's attention, please? Thanks.
As many of you know, this has been a difficult year for me.
But with the opening of this boutique, and partnered with my sister Sydney, I hope to begin a new chapter in my life, and I'm just happy that you're all here to share it with me.
So here's to good business, good customers, and good friends.
Billy: I kind of got atoast.
Here--here's to Janie, who has great taste in clothing, andlousy taste in friends.
Here's to Jake and Alison, hoping that their sex is still good after everybody knows about their little secret affair.
[clears throat.]
It's true, isn't it? That's why his shirt was in your apartment.
You're sleeping together? Jane, Billy's drunk.
Don't listen to him.
No, he's telling the truth.
You're the liars! Jane, we were going to talk to you about this.
Get out.
Get out of my store! You heard what she said.
You guys should go.
Ok.
Let's go.
Are you an idiot or just plain cruel? Oh, I'm sorry.
It just slipped out.
I should listen to my mother.
Oh.
Thanks.
This is comfortable, isn't it? Well, not bad for 800 square feet of shared walls.
A little to the right, ok? But it doesn't really matter where I live as long as I'm married to you.
Whatever that means.
What do you mean, "whatever that means"? Well, you can't argue the fact that we did get married under less than desirable circumstances.
So? Well, so, we never really discussed what marriage meant to either one of us.
Well, I mean, it's pretty simple, isn't it? Till death do you part-- With a few exceptions.
Those being? Uh abuse for one, infidelity Unh! Another Well, those will never be applicable.
And I think it's in very poor taste to discuss divorce before we've even had a honeymoon yet.
And have you asked yourself why? Other than the fact that Sydney sold me down the river? I've got money.
I don't.
Don't say no yet-- [knock knock.]
Just think about it.
Oh! Hi.
I just wanted to drop off some chocolate ricotta cake that Kyle made for you.
Sort of a thank you.
How sweet.
Hi.
Nice to see you again.
Hi.
Well, as you can see, my husband and I are very busy, but thanks for the empty calories.
Oh, you're welcome.
Enjoy it.
Huh.
Well.
Since when are you two so chummy? We're not.
She's just a new patient.
Ah.
Oh, Peter Hmm? Let's do something normal.
Go on a honeymoon.
Anywhere.
Just let's go tonight, just get in the car and get the hell out of here.
Now? Yeah.
For my wife? Anything.
[stirrer striking glass.]
Matt: Ahem.
Hah! Something I can do for you? No.
Just noticed you have a lot of energy.
Not really.
Just bored, I guess.
Yeah.
Me, too.
Which means you're looking for company? You're the one who looks lonely.
Give me a break! You're a hustler? Hey.
I'm just having a drink.
Oh, what the hell.
There's always a first time for everything.
Just right over here.
[ding ding ding ding.]
So, um how much does this sort of thing cost? It's a bargain.
Sorry, buddy, but you're under arrest for soliciting prostitution.
[knock knock.]
Jane.
I am so sorry.
How could you? How could you pretend to be my friend and the whole time be sleeping with Jake? We didn't even start seeing each other till you had already broken up-- I was raped, damn it! It affects a person.
I had to process things, Alison.
That meant keeping to myself for a while, trying to heal.
But instead of supporting me in my darkest hour, you stole the only man I loved.
Look, I know you're in pain, but you have to understand that when Jake and I got together, we were as surprised as anyone else.
I don't believe you.
Well, it's true.
And I'm sure, if you just think it through, you'll see that we really didn't do anything wrong.
Yes, you did.
I love him, and you have him, and it's not fair.
[slam.]
Hey, what's going on out here? Alison, what happened? [Alison.]
Jane was just here.
I just feel so bad about this.
Well, we're just gonna have to give it some time.
Oh, my God.
Are you ok? Yeah, I'm fine.
Who are you to ask? I'm Samantha, Jane's roommate.
I--we met.
Are you sure you didn't hurt yourself? The lock's just messed up, all right? It's none of your business, so just leave me alone.
Yeah, think I'll do that.
Jerk.
Kimberly? Why are you sitting in the dark? I thought we were going out to dinner.
The medical board is reviewing my license.
Oh, that's probably just a formality.
No, it makes perfect sense.
After all, what kind of life can I be allowed to have, considering the kind of life I've led? You're allowed to be happy like anyone else.
I don't think that's true anymore.
I'm not sure I deserve happiness or pleasure.
Come on, everyone deserves that.
Sweetie.
What? What's the matter? You're not, um-- no.
No, I'm not Betsy.
That's all over.
It's just all this thinking about the past and the future.
I'm not really in the mood.
You must understand that, don't you? Yeah, I guess.
Maybe maybe you could just lie here with me for awhile instead.
As in, "just hold me?" Mm-hmm.
They say that this kind of intimacy can be just as fulfilling as sex.
Oh, yeah? I never heard that.
When you're shattered and you just don't care My heart's been broken baby I've been there There are times when it seems like There's no way out The sky I falling and your world is blue Faith is gone don't know what to do Take my hand let me lead the way From the darkest night to a brand new day Darlin' I see your pain Just like the falling rain Married life is so convenient, if you know what I mean.
Sorry, sweetie.
No time.
Where are you off to so early? Well, someone has to reclaim the helm at Burns-Mancini.
Peter, you were just released from jail.
Don't you think you should take a breather and not just jump into a routine right away? No time to waste, Amanda.
Now is when we embrace life, move forward.
Which brings me to the subject of packing.
When can you start? Packing for what? Well, naturally, I thought that we'd live at my place.
I mean, we're married, after all.
Which means reaching a decision mutually.
Shouldn't we discuss this first? Well, what's to discuss, huh? I live in a beautiful house, you live in a dinky apartment.
Dinky? Enough said, huh? Meet me there tonight at 8:00.
We'll go over the particulars of merging furniture.
Why'd you leave me last night? Did you spend the night here? Yeah, I didn't really feel like being at the apartment building.
Besides, it gave me a chance to sort some things out.
And you needed to be away from me to do that? Yeah, I did.
You know, the bottom line is we got together pretty quick, and thinking didn't have a whole hell of a lot to do with it.
Maybe this is a good time for us to step back, take a look at the situation from all sides.
Logically, you know what I mean? The only logical thing to do is to bring our relationship out in the open.
Well, it's not that easy.
There's other people involved.
What other people? Oh.
This is about Jane, isn't it? The last thing she needs is for Billy to put some ugly spin on this thing.
Especially after everything she's been through.
I see.
So your concern for her is the real reason we've been skulking around, keeping this whole thing under wraps.
Come on.
We've been bending over backwards to protect your precious Billy.
That was a decision we made together.
Yeah.
You know what? I'm over it.
The only people that matter in this are you and me.
And anybody who can't handle that can just go to hell for all I care.
You're going to tell Billy that? Yeah, I think I will.
Michael in? I need to talk to him.
No, he has surgery, but, coincidentally, I need to talk to you.
Messages? Um uh, listen, while you were gone, things got a little tight around here.
Sydney, it's your job to pay the bills, not talk to me about them.
Return these calls, please.
Ok, but I really think that we need to discuss the-- There can't be more, can there? There's someone waiting for you in your office.
I'm sorry.
I hope you haven't been waiting too long, uh, Mrs.
McBride.
So, how can I help you today? By telling me that I look familiar to you.
Well, I'm not sure that you do.
Have we met? You might have seen me at the apartment building that your wife owns.
I just moved in.
Oh, of course.
Right, right.
Well, the truth be known, I haven't been around much lately.
Well, one of the neighbors-- uh, Matt, I think it was-- told me that I should see you.
I have a heart murmur.
It's something that I've had ever since I was a child in Missouri.
It's a family condition.
My father had it, too.
I see.
Why don't we make an appointment with the receptionist for a full physical, and then, we'll, um-- we'll take it from there, all right? Uh, Taylor, right? Right.
Good.
It was very nice meeting you, Doctor.
Well, likewise, I'm sure.
I'll see you soon.
[siren blaring.]
I'll be right back with you.
Hold up there, big guy.
Let's have a look.
Look, midterms are over, all right? I'm caught up and drug-free.
Oh, Dr.
Schulman doesn't seem to think so.
She's got her eye on you, Matt, you and your pill-popping friends.
And thanks to your prescription pad hijinks, she's eyeballing me, too.
Oh.
That explains your heartfelt concern.
Look, I missed a lot of classes because I was sick.
I needed to make up for it, all right? I just needed a little help, that's all.
It wasn't enough to get anybody in trouble, the least of all you.
Oh, that's a good one.
I used that one myself before.
Look, you think you're the only one who's ever needed help in med school? I started taking speed to get through exams, too.
Pretty soon, I needed a boost to get through rounds.
Then rotations.
I was on schedule, all right, but the pills were in charge of it.
Uppers for work, downers for sleep.
Mike, I appreciate your story.
Really.
But it's not mine.
I'm all right.
Let me tell you something, Matt.
I may not be the poster boy for family values, but I was smart enough to get clean.
And, for both our sakes, you'd better be, too.
[car approaches.]
Dom Perignon, Peter, we really should talk about this "moving in together" business.
Mm-hmm.
Ok, well, we'll talk later, all right? Right now I have a bride to carry over my threshold.
Oh, God.
What? Oh, Peter, this is silly.
Welcome home, darling.
Excuse me.
Melissa, Timmy, get over here.
Excuse--hello? Excuse me! You have squatters.
Can I help you folks? Yeah, you can get the hell out of my house.
Oh, you must be Peter Burns.
Yes, I am, and you're trespassing, you and your entire tribe.
I'm sorry, but my clients happen to be the new owners of this property.
It was sold while you were incarcerated.
I'm his wife, and no one gave anyone permission to sell this house.
Well, from what I understand, his office manager authorized the sale.
Sydney? How could Sydney do this? She can't.
That's impossible.
Not only is it possible, escrow closed yesterday.
Well, I don't care what closed, but you're on my property, honey.
Peter, calm down.
I'm not calming down.
You are the trespasser here, Dr.
Burns, and I hope I am not going to have to call the police.
This is insane! She's going to call the police if we don't leave.
I don't care what she does.
Do you know what this is? This a setup, some kind of scam or something! And we will take care of it tomorrow.
You bet I will, and by putting my hands around Sydney's neck and strangling her to death, the first thing in the morning.
And her, too.
You've already had one close call between you and a murder charge.
I'll be damned if there's another.
Amanda! Hi.
Hi.
You remember that lock.
It still sticks.
So what brings you to my humble abode? Come by to tell me to be discreet about what I know? Actually, I couldn't care less about that.
I just wanted to make sure that you understood the only reason we didn't tell you about us sooner is because we were trying to protect you.
Oh, is that right? Yes, it is, and now that you know, I hope that you'll be mature enough to give us your blessing.
My blessing? Hmm.
So let me ask you this: that night that I waited for you at dinner, and, you know, you never showed? You slept with him that night, didn't you? You must think I'm pretty stupid.
It wasn't like that.
Sure it is.
You enjoy pulling the wool over my eyes.
Why not? You're good at it.
This whole time we've known each other I had no idea you were such a slut.
If you need to hate me to get over this, that's fine.
It takes too much energy to hate.
Oh, damn it, just yell at me! Don't just pretend you've dealt with it.
Drop by anytime, Alison.
Oh, and all the best to your boyfriend.
Hi.
Must've taken the same rude pill you did the other night.
Sydney.
Did you really think I wouldn't notice a family of four in my house? Well, I tried to tell you yesterday, but you wouldn't listen.
And with the legal bills you were running up in the pokey, bankruptcy was the only other option.
What a crock.
What illegal strings did you pull to carry off this little swindle? Everything I did was under the letter of the law, I swear.
Well, then, tell me, Sydney, how'd you do it? Well, Mr.
Tax-dodger, if you hadn't listed your house and all of its contents under the corporation, then I wouldn't have been able to.
But as part-owner and office manager, I had the authority to sell any and all assets necessary to keep the business afloat.
I'm sure once you get over the initial shock, you'll thank me.
I guess that solves the dilemma of where we'll be living.
Oh, and that BMW lease? You have two days to return it.
Sydney-- You're welcome? You're fired.
I think not.
We had a deal, remember? I stay on permanently, or the sexual harassment suit goes to the courts.
I've been in jail, Sydney.
For murder.
A sexual harassment suit would be a walk in the park.
You give and you give and you give, and still no appreciation.
Get out! [man.]
Good job.
Thanks.
I'm going to lunch.
Well the construction crew is on lunch break.
What do you say we christen the place? Hey.
Baby, why are you crying? It's nothing.
I'm ok.
No, it's not nothing.
You've been moody since yesterday.
What's going on? I'm just not so sure that we should've come here.
The people here are really different.
They're inaccessible.
How would you feel about going home? This is some kind of test, isn't it? You make me say yes to every damn thing you want, and somehow that proves I love you? Kyle, please, let's not get into that.
I made a mistake one time.
Once.
I told you it wouldn't happen again.
I promised you that, and I meant it.
Moving to Los Angeles, that-- that was a way for both of us to start clean.
I'll be damned if I take a step backwards from here.
I'm just not sure this city is going to give us what we want.
Then we will take it.
Dr.
Shaw, we've called you here because of a report we've received made by a nurse formerly employed at a mental facility, Willowbridge Institute.
In it, she details acts of gross misconduct and abuse which occurred while you were acting director there.
Based on this, we have no alternative but to suspend your license for a period of 90 days until a further determination can be made.
Is there anything you would like to say to the board in your own defense? I guess-- I guess I'm not surprised by your decision.
When I reflect on all the terrible things that have happened during the past two years, it seems very clear, even to me, that I'm not fit to practice medicine.
Sweetie, I don't think you should be saying things like this.
No, it's ok.
Let me finish.
Effective immediately, I wish to surrender my medical license.
You can't do this.
That's crazy.
No, it's the right thing to do.
Finally.
It's the right thing to do.
Don't tell me.
My first installment on my loan is due.
Oh, Jane, don't be ridiculous.
You have until the end of the week.
I just came by to see how things were going.
You left work just for that? It must be nice to have such flexible hours.
Actually, my hours are more flexible than ever.
I got fired.
Oh, my God.
You're kidding me.
Wow.
Is there anything I can do? Well, as a matter of fact, I was thinking, wouldn't it be cool if I were to come and work here? I mean, I'm sure you could use the extra help, what with the grand opening coming up, and I could waive the loan.
In fact, I could invest more money.
We could be partners.
You know what? I think that's a great idea.
You do? Yes.
It just gives me another opportunity to put the past behind me and get back to normal with everyone in my life, including you.
Wow.
Jane, that-- I'm touched.
Hey, Syd.
Hi.
Sam, guess what? Syd's going to be joining us at the boutique.
Really? That's great.
Yeah.
Of course, we'll have to rework some of your shifts to accommodate mine.
[door opens.]
Hey, Billy.
Excuse me.
Hey, Jane.
This is a nice store.
Thanks.
Hey, listen, we're having a grand opening party day after tomorrow.
Yeah, it's going to be a big bash.
There's going to be food, drinks, music, the works.
Well, Syd's exaggerating just a little bit, but there will be food and drink.
Are Jake and Alison going to be here? Yeah.
I want all my friends to be here.
Yeah, friends.
Well, count me in.
Great.
No music? So, I asked around to find out where you worked because I wanted to come by and apologize and invite you to dinner.
Gee, you know, I don't think so.
Why not? Well, first impressions mean a lot to me, and when it involves the destruction of property, I tend to pay extra special attention.
Look, I had a lousy day, and, you know, the lock jammed.
I got a little frustrated.
To say the least.
In spite of what you might think, I am a nice guy, and I would like to prove it to you.
I'd also like to hear your life story.
Yeah, right.
I thought we'd grab a bite, catch a movie, that would at least get us through junior high, I think.
How about tomorrow night at 7:00? You know, if my mother were here, she would tell me to drop you like a hot potato.
But she's not.
What the hell.
Greg: To the end of midterms.
Chug-a-lug! All right, that's it for me, guys.
We're not done celebrating yet.
What about the dance club, and staying up all night? What can I say? I'm-- I'm beat, all right? I'll see you guys later.
Have a good one.
Matt.
Hey.
So, why're you bagging out on us? I just don't have it in me to pull another all-nighter.
Sure you do.
I got something.
It gives you a lot of energy and a damn good time.
Hey, I'm watching my drug intake these days, you know? Midterms had me practically addicted, if you can believe that.
We're not talking about anything habit-forming.
It's a one-time thing.
It's a party favor.
Besides, there's someone I want to introduce you at the club.
He's a great guy, and I told him all about you.
Jane! Hi.
Hi.
Hi.
I haven't seen you in a while.
How've you been? Great, since I opened my own boutique.
Yeah, I heard.
Congratulations.
How about a drink on the house? Oh, no, thanks.
I just came by to ask you if well, it would mean a lot to me if you came to the boutique's grand opening.
It's day after tomorrow.
It's sort of a new beginning for me, and I'd love for you to be part of it.
To be honest with you, I didn't even know if we were friends anymore.
I can't believe you'd think that for a minute.
I mean, I know things got a little twisted, but it was a twisted situation.
But it's behind us now, right? So you'll come to the opening, won't you? Sure.
Good.
I'll see you then.
Hey, Billy.
Hey.
Hey.
I'll have a beer.
Sure.
So how're you doing? Fine.
Why do you ask? Come on, man, you know what I'm talking about.
You mean, how am I taking the fact that you'redoing Alison? It doesn't bother me.
Just saw Jane on the way in.
How'd she take the happy news? She doesn't know yet, and I would appreciate it if you didn't say anything until Alison and I had a chance to talk to her.
Well, you got to be interested in something to want to talk about it, and I don't give a damn, so you don't have anything to worry about.
Keep the change.
[sighs.]
What was in that damn pill? [tires squeal.]
[horn honks.]
[honk.]
[breathing hard.]
operator: 911.
State your emergency, please.
Help--help I ca--can't breathe Listen, Kimberly, I'll be home around 7:00.
I was thinking maybe you can make that linguini dish.
For dinner, you know? To-- Kimberly? Good morning.
Hey, I didn't even know you were up yet.
Why are you dressed like that? Like what? Like you have a job interview or something? Put on your sweats, for God's sakes.
Lounge.
You're supposed to be taking it easy.
Unlike me.
I got to get a move on.
I'll just grab my jacket and go with.
Uh, honey, it's not my first day of school.
I'm just going to work.
I know.
So am I.
Um, you surrendered your license, remember? You have no work.
Actually, Peter fired Sydney, and he hired me to replace her.
I am your temporary receptionist.
Y-you? Isn't it going to be wonderful? Oh.
He hired you? Well, I mean, I'm just going to be filling in for a little while.
Imagine it: we'll work together, play together, and live together It may even increase our intimacy.
Intimacy? We'll be on top of each other.
Exactly.
Isn't that the way you like it? Come on Ohh Amandado you have a minute? Just.
I have both an apology and a proposition for you.
First off, my going to your husband's trial was simply idle curiosity.
I had actually read about the case in the paper, and frankly, I was fascinated, so if my being there offended you in any way, I'm sorry.
Fine.
What's the proposition? Well, my husband and I are opening up a restaurant in the area, and we need an advertiser, and we've heard through the grapevine that you're the best there is so we would like to hire you.
Well, I guess the grapevine forgot to mention that I'm president of national accounts, so I have either little or no interest in mom-and-pop outfits.
Well, we have another restaurant in Boston, and we're about to go national.
Good.
Call me when that happens.
Look, why don't you at least come by, see what we're all about before you make any decisions? How about today for lunch? What if I decide not to work with you? Well then, at least, you will have had a really great meal.
For an hour of my time? It better be fantastic.
You told the E.
R.
Doctor you thought you were having a heart attack? It's--I--that's right, I thought I was.
And you just neglected to mention that you were as high as a kite on P.
C.
P.
? It's in the report.
Go ahead and read it.
All right, look, all right, I admit that there was nothing physically wrong with me.
It was just--look, I just hyperventilated a little, I freaked out a little, right? A misdiagnosis on my part.
Listen to yourself, Matt.
You're hooked.
Oh, honey, cut the drama.
You know, what I took last night was a mistake, ok? I don't have any more of it, I don't want any more.
It's simple.
You know, I've been thinking about this, and you leave me no choice but to report this to Dr.
Schulman.
What? Well, it's the only way to make you stop and think about your actions.
What, you think you're some kind of moral barometer? That's a joke! Get your hands off me.
You do anything to damage my med school standing, and I will nail your self-serving ass to the wall by telling Schulman you sold me that prescription.
Hell, I'll tell her you sold me that P.
C.
P.
I took last night.
So drop the threat, 'cause it doesn't mean squat to me.
As a matter of fact, neither do you.
Ok, if that's the way you want to play it, fine.
But from now on, you're on your own.
Amanda, hi.
So glad you could make it.
Kyle, you remember Amanda, our landlord, and hopefully our future advertising rep.
I appreciate you sacrificing your lunch hour for us.
I think my pumpkin agnolotti will make it well worth your while.
Please have a seat.
Taylor, won't you pour some wine? Thank you.
I'll be in the kitchen.
So.
This is quite an arrangement you have here, husband-and-wife business team.
So, he's the chef and what is it you do? Everything else.
Oh, so it was your decision to move here? Well, at the risk of being too personal, both Kyle and I agreed that L.
A.
was about as far away as you could get from Boston.
Problems back home? You could say that.
He had an affair.
But marriage is a funny thing, you know? It goes through changes and keeps on ticking.
But I don't have to tell you that, do I? Ha.
Well, call me old-fashioned, but I don't consider infidelity a change.
If my husband were ever unfaithful-- not that he would be-- but our marriage would be over faster than you can say "settlement.
" Soshall we get down to business? Yeah.
Mmm.
This bread is so good.
Do you want some? No thanks.
Mmm.
So, let's hear it.
Tell me--tell me the story of your life.
Well, I can start by saying there is not a restaurant this nice in my hometown.
Which is Crisfield, Maryland.
Mmm.
[mouth full.]
Oh, my God, it's so good.
You want one? No.
Mmm.
Mmm.
So, anyway, it's a little town on the eastern shore.
My parents, they still live there.
She's a beautician, my mom, and dad's a waterman.
And it's pretty, but it's just not suited for someone who's interested in art, which I am, so I focused really hard, and I managed to get a scholarship to RISD-- Rhode Island School of Design, and then after that I left home and moved there, and I studied-- Is some-- is something wrong? I don't think I can do this.
Oh, God It's because I talk so much, isn't it? I always try to be aware of how much I'm saying, and I always forget, and I've said too much.
No, that's not it.
[laughs.]
The last time I came here was when Alison stood me up and slept with my best friend, so I thought that I'd come here again with you, you know, somebody wonderful, and make me get over it.
But It didn't, so you want to go.
I'm sorry.
It was a stupid idea.
No, it's ok.
We'll leave.
Look, I meant it when I said that I wanted to get to know you better.
It's fine.
Really.
Another time.
Yeah, another time.
[knock knock.]
Jane.
Hi.
Hi.
I just came by to check out your new place.
Sure.
Come in.
Thanks.
Oh, I love it.
It's nice.
I really wish we hadn't been so estranged lately, but it's been difficult, you know? Yeah, everything with Richard.
I'm so sorry.
Well, thankfully, it's all in the past.
Alison, can I be honest with you? Of course.
I'm really here because I miss our friendship.
I mean, we used to be so close.
It just doesn't seem right that we aren't anymore, and I was hoping I could take a step towards redeeming that by inviting you to my grand opening.
Oh.
That'd be terrific.
Really? Really.
Good.
Thanks for being such a good friend in spite of everything that's happened.
Well, I better get going.
Isn't this one of Jake's shirts? Oh! Uh, you know, he helped me do some moving.
Probably just left here accidentally.
Oh, well, do you want me to take it back to the apartments and drop it off? Yeah! Yeah, that'd be great.
Thanks.
Ok.
Good night.
Night.
Good night.
Jake.
Hi.
Hi.
I'm glad you made it.
Yeah, me, too.
The place looks great.
Thanks.
Can I get you another, sir? Yup.
There you go.
Jane: That's a lot of fun.
Party's going great.
Jake: Yeah, great.
You want something to eat? Or drink? Yeah.
Which one? Drink.
Well, looks like you've got quite a success on your hands.
Yeah, well, I decided this morning that as long as you two showed, it wouldn't matter if anyone else did.
Hey.
Hey.
Look, I was just going to invite Jake for dinner afterwards.
Why don't you come along as well? Oh, listen, I'd love to, but I'm really tired from work.
Can I take a raincheck? Of course.
Yeah, you know, I can't make it either.
I got to close up Shooters.
Oh.
Well, it's all right.
We'll do it another time.
Sydney: Jane, some customers over there want to talk about design, of all things.
Could you handle it? Of course.
Excuse me.
So.
How do you like my place? Well, Jane and mine's.
We're business partners now.
That's news.
Yeah.
I didn't realize you were that close.
Yeah, well, we've been bonding in a very big way lately.
I guess I could say the same thing about you two.
I wasn't sure I'd see you here.
Well, I had to show.
If nothing else, to give you this.
Sting at the Hollywood Bowl.
I thought this was sold out weeks ago.
Oh, I called in a favor because I wanted to do something to make up for not getting past appetizers last night.
One ticket.
How thoughtful.
Yeah.
See, there's a catch.
You have to well, you're stuck with me for the entire evening.
Sorry.
[hits spoon on glass.]
Can I have everyone's attention, please? Thanks.
As many of you know, this has been a difficult year for me.
But with the opening of this boutique, and partnered with my sister Sydney, I hope to begin a new chapter in my life, and I'm just happy that you're all here to share it with me.
So here's to good business, good customers, and good friends.
Billy: I kind of got atoast.
Here--here's to Janie, who has great taste in clothing, andlousy taste in friends.
Here's to Jake and Alison, hoping that their sex is still good after everybody knows about their little secret affair.
[clears throat.]
It's true, isn't it? That's why his shirt was in your apartment.
You're sleeping together? Jane, Billy's drunk.
Don't listen to him.
No, he's telling the truth.
You're the liars! Jane, we were going to talk to you about this.
Get out.
Get out of my store! You heard what she said.
You guys should go.
Ok.
Let's go.
Are you an idiot or just plain cruel? Oh, I'm sorry.
It just slipped out.
I should listen to my mother.
Oh.
Thanks.
This is comfortable, isn't it? Well, not bad for 800 square feet of shared walls.
A little to the right, ok? But it doesn't really matter where I live as long as I'm married to you.
Whatever that means.
What do you mean, "whatever that means"? Well, you can't argue the fact that we did get married under less than desirable circumstances.
So? Well, so, we never really discussed what marriage meant to either one of us.
Well, I mean, it's pretty simple, isn't it? Till death do you part-- With a few exceptions.
Those being? Uh abuse for one, infidelity Unh! Another Well, those will never be applicable.
And I think it's in very poor taste to discuss divorce before we've even had a honeymoon yet.
And have you asked yourself why? Other than the fact that Sydney sold me down the river? I've got money.
I don't.
Don't say no yet-- [knock knock.]
Just think about it.
Oh! Hi.
I just wanted to drop off some chocolate ricotta cake that Kyle made for you.
Sort of a thank you.
How sweet.
Hi.
Nice to see you again.
Hi.
Well, as you can see, my husband and I are very busy, but thanks for the empty calories.
Oh, you're welcome.
Enjoy it.
Huh.
Well.
Since when are you two so chummy? We're not.
She's just a new patient.
Ah.
Oh, Peter Hmm? Let's do something normal.
Go on a honeymoon.
Anywhere.
Just let's go tonight, just get in the car and get the hell out of here.
Now? Yeah.
For my wife? Anything.
[stirrer striking glass.]
Matt: Ahem.
Hah! Something I can do for you? No.
Just noticed you have a lot of energy.
Not really.
Just bored, I guess.
Yeah.
Me, too.
Which means you're looking for company? You're the one who looks lonely.
Give me a break! You're a hustler? Hey.
I'm just having a drink.
Oh, what the hell.
There's always a first time for everything.
Just right over here.
[ding ding ding ding.]
So, um how much does this sort of thing cost? It's a bargain.
Sorry, buddy, but you're under arrest for soliciting prostitution.
[knock knock.]
Jane.
I am so sorry.
How could you? How could you pretend to be my friend and the whole time be sleeping with Jake? We didn't even start seeing each other till you had already broken up-- I was raped, damn it! It affects a person.
I had to process things, Alison.
That meant keeping to myself for a while, trying to heal.
But instead of supporting me in my darkest hour, you stole the only man I loved.
Look, I know you're in pain, but you have to understand that when Jake and I got together, we were as surprised as anyone else.
I don't believe you.
Well, it's true.
And I'm sure, if you just think it through, you'll see that we really didn't do anything wrong.
Yes, you did.
I love him, and you have him, and it's not fair.
[slam.]
Hey, what's going on out here? Alison, what happened? [Alison.]
Jane was just here.
I just feel so bad about this.
Well, we're just gonna have to give it some time.
