Melrose Place s05e05 Episode Script

Don't open that door.
Put a towel underneath it.
Do you have a key or a crank for this? No.
Nobody ever gave me anything.
What about the bathroom window? It's too small.
[coughing.]
Look out.
Ah! We're going to have to go for it.
The fire's there! I'll call 9-1-1.
Oh, God.
Hi! Hello.
Um um My apartment's on fire.
My name's Alison Parker.
Come on, hurry! Oh, my God, hurry! [all coughing.]
Are you okay? Yeah.
God! Thank God you were still here.
Alison? Yeah, I'm okay, I think.
It all happened so fast.
Oh, God, I couldn't breathe.
It felt like I was dying.
It's all right.
[coughing.]
I think we ought to take you to the hospital.
[man laughs.]
They'll tell you there's no reason But I say one day it'll all make sense All that you've been craving Will put you on the other side of the fence It's natural and pure And no one else could continue for It's not a smile from a box or hair from a bottled rocket You got inside it's gonna take you full throttle I tried not to think about it Although some let me down I tried not to have Makes my stomach spin around If you wait for something wrong Michael, I really appreciate you bailing me out.
I can't believe I came.
I should've let you rot in jail.
Where do you get off? Right here, Matt.
I get off right here.
Michael, wait-- You made your bed.
Now sleep in it, pal.
Michael, look I got busted last night for picking up a hustler.
I was so stoned, I don't even remember it.
All right? I have hit bottom.
I need your help.
Help me.
Okay but we're doing this my way now, you hear me? Yeah, I do.
This time I do.
Okay.
Let's go.
Jane, what happened? Oh, my God, Jane, are you okay? What a streak of bad luck you're having.
Fires are so dangerous.
I took fire safety once.
Check your nose hairs, see if they're singed because your lungs could be damaged.
I'm fine.
I just called because I needed a ride back to my car.
It's still parked in front of Alison's.
What were you doing at Alison's? What are you doing here? I called Sam.
Who had the sense to call me, your nearest blood relative in case I had to donate one of your organs or something.
Besides, I would've driven you to your car without a lecture about nose hairs.
Let's get out of here, okay? How are Jake and Alison? Yeah, how are they doing? Maybe we should check on them.
Why don't you check on them, Sam? I'll drive Jane to her car.
Okay.
Go on down.
Jane, it's weird, it's really weird.
Just tell me you had nothing to do with this.
What are you talking about? I just happened to be there.
It's like Sam said-- I'm having a case of bad luck.
As long as you're not having a crime spree.
Look, I know all about Jake and Alison, and I can understand you being angry-- I'm not angry.
I didn't do anything.
I mean, after you kill your partner, and he's not dead, and you have to kill him again, arson could seem like a cakewalk.
Syd, just take me to my car, okay? Thank you.
Okay, just promise, promise, promise me this is not a getaway.
Hi.
Pardon me, could-- Hey, Samantha how's Alison? I heard you tell Syd about the fire, but you were gone before I could stop you.
I'm surprised to hear you're so concerned considering the ass you made out of yourself at the boutique.
I'm sorry about that.
I was a little drunk and a little rude.
I guess when your best friend steals your girlfriend, you tend to react that way.
Is that what you're doing here right now? I don't know what I'm doing here, but I'm here, so I guess somehow I still care.
Well, blood work and X-rays look good.
You should both do fine.
Thanks.
Yeah, fine, except I was barely moved in, and I lost everything-- my wallet, my books, my clothes.
I don't know where I'm going to sleep.
Hey, you're alive, all right? You're alive.
Thank God Jane showed up when she did.
Yeah.
Don't you find that kind of suspicious? I mean, we have this huge fight, she takes off, and a minute later the building's on fire? She saved our lives, all right? Come on, let's get real.
Jake, I saw her anger.
It was real.
The cops will check out whether the fire was set or not.
Until then, let's just wait and see what happens, all right? Kimberly, old charts get filed in the top drawer.
New charts in the second one.
I'm here as a favor, Michael, and I'm not a moron.
Wait for the permanent receptionist to treat like that.
I'd rather treat you like a wife, but that doesn't seem to be working out too well.
Michael, I do-- I do want to have sex with you.
I'm just afraid it will open up a can of worms.
That's a pleasant image.
Far be it from me to disturb your sexual fantasies.
Fantasies are all I have these days including the one about having a thriving medical practice.
Where the hell is Peter anyway? He left a message on the machine that he took Amanda to the Santa Barbara Bayside Resort for a delayed honeymoon.
Well, that's just great.
The guy's in jail for weeks, patients are dropping us like hot potatoes, and he decides now would be a good time to take a little holiday.
Excuse me.
Did I hear you say that Dr.
Burns is in Santa Barbara? For a short conference, yes.
Did you have an appointment, Miss McBride.
Taylor McBride.
I was just going to talk to him about a few things.
I see you're scheduled for next week.
Is this something that can wait? Well, it's waited this long.
I'm sure it'll keep.
Hi.
I'm Dr.
Mancini.
Is there anything I can help you with? No, thanks.
I'd rather come back when Dr.
Burns is available.
His bedside manner's just so personal.
Thanks.
Just keep your hands firmly on your fantasies and mind your bedside manner.
[Amanda.]
Go on, get on the bed.
Go on! [knock on door.]
[man.]
Room service.
Mm! Come in! Forget it.
If we're going to be in bed all weekend, we'll need supplies.
No.
Come here! Hi.
If you'd just sign right here, Miss Woodward.
Uh, excuse me.
It's not "Miss Woodward.
" it's Mrs.
Burns.
A credit card on check-in said "Amanda Woodward.
" Oh, really? Well, you see, all that's changed now because her married name is Mrs.
Burns.
Well, Woodward is my career name, and it's done well for me so far, so I guess this meal is on Miss Woodward.
Thanks.
Well, the check may be on Miss Woodward, but the doctor's on Mrs.
Burns.
If you're lucky.
Peter, are you serious? I mean, we've never discussed this name-change thing.
I didn't think you were so obsessive.
Amanda, you call yourself anything you want on one condition.
What's that? That you get those clothes off right now Mrs.
Burns.
Mr.
Campbell, personal for you from Miss Woodward.
Thanks.
"I owe you one.
" Oh, excuse me, Mr.
Field.
I didn't realize anybody was in here.
Billy, meet my son Craig.
Nice to meet you.
Hey, I've heard so much about you.
I wanted to introduce Craig to Amanda.
Do you know where she is? She's actually out with a client.
I was just dropping her a note.
Get Craig a desk in the bullpen.
He's gonna be working here from now on.
You teach him what you can.
Okay.
I want him to learn the business from the ground up, Billy.
Familiar territory for you, isn't it? Just so we're clear from the start, I'll stay out of your way, and I'll work really hard.
You just let me watch you, I figure I'll probably get a better education than I got in 4 years at Wharton.
Come along, Craig.
We haven't got all day.
Oh, and I don't expect to be treated any differently just because I'm the boss's son, but I do like cream in my coffee.
Yeah.
[loud clattering.]
Baby, you're not cooking for 2,000 marines anymore.
Don't you think it's time you showed a little class? That's what I married you for, sweetheart.
Ooh, I've never felt you so tense.
Why don't you take a break? Because this oven is burning too damn hot.
Well, so am I.
Look, we did not come out here for you to work yourself to death.
So why don't we take a couple of days off? 'Cause I know exactly what you need.
A little after-hours delight? Well, actually, I was thinking about going to Santa Barbara.
Santa Barbara? Taylor, we are opening a restaurant in a couple of days and nothing is ready.
Want you to taste this.
No.
You know, your sauces are always fine.
Okay.
Easy for you to say.
You're never around.
I am always here alone, trying to make this stuff up.
You're never alone for long, now, are you, Kyle? I thought that was behind us.
Why are you bringing that up now? I don't know.
Just sharing.
Sharing? Yeah.
Where the hell do you think you're going, hmm? Santa Barbara? Lady, you drive a hard bargain.
All I'm saying, Jane, is I think Samantha has a bad attitude.
Hey, guys.
I brought you a snack.
I know how easy it is to forget food when you've got so much going on.
Thanks, Sam.
No problem.
You know I was thinking.
Wouldn't it be cool to put the mannequins in the store window in classy Old Hollywood dresses? Kind of a throwback to the Golden Era? I don't know.
Dumb idea? Yes.
Dumb and wrong.
I mean, what do you think we are, the Hollywood Wax Museum? Actually, I kind of like the idea.
Really? Great.
I saw this old red velvet dress in a retro shop on Third, and if I run, I can get it before they close.
There's money in my purse.
I have cash.
Don't worry.
You can pay me back later.
Bye.
Yeah, she just spreads that bad attitude all over the place.
Jane.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi.
Um I never had a chance to thank you for saving us from the fire.
Alison, are you okay? I mean, I'm so sorry about our quarrel.
I was actually going back that night to apologize.
Oh, no.
I'm the one who's sorry.
No.
I just want to tell you, both of you, that I'm fine with you two being together now.
I mean, I'm really okay with it.
Well, thanks.
That means a lot.
Um, listen, I'm kind of beat.
I'm going to turn in early.
Be there in a minute.
All right.
So you guys are living together now? Oh.
Well, just for the time being.
You know the fire.
I lost everything.
Right.
Hey, why don't you stop by the shop? I'll lend you a few things.
Oh, um sure.
I'll try to stop by.
Thanks.
Good night.
Jane I didn't buy the kissy-kissy stuff.
You're just lying in wait to pounce on Jake, right? Good night, Syd.
This isn't going to work, Michael.
Well, you gotta give it your best shot.
It's just-- it's so extreme.
I don't need inpatient therapy.
Oh, so now that you're out of the slammer, you want to back out of our deal? I'm not backing out of anything.
It's just I don't consider myself an addict.
Well, then you're in major denial, pal.
And until you own up to what you have in common with the patients here, you're never gonna dry out.
I worked with these people when I was a social worker.
They're barely functioning.
Oh, like you're really in the driver's seat lately.
Look, it's not only that.
If the wrong people find out about this at school, my career is over.
Yeah, and so is mine if they find out that I covered for you when you forged those prescriptions.
So just stick to the program.
We'll both be okay.
No.
The 17th at Bel Air is a lot tougher than that.
It's a dogleg right off-- Doglegs? You ever been to Pebble Beach? Yeah.
The 14th, par 5.
Well, then you know what I'm talking about.
Yes! Amanda! Hey, look who's here, huh? Your new tenants.
What a surprise.
You know they have the arrogance to believe that they can open a restaurant in L.
A.
? Oh, well, you must be lost.
This is Santa Barbara.
Well, we were just having a weekend fling, like you.
I hope we didn't intrude on your private party.
As a matter of fact, you did.
This place used to be a little more exclusive.
Well, you're in a mood, aren't you? I just need some air.
Can we go now? I'll follow you anywhere, kid.
Would you folks excuse us? We're gonna go do that secret newlywed stuff.
No problem.
Why don't we get together, play a few rounds before you go? Yeah.
See ya.
What was that all about? It's our honeymoon, and I want to be alone.
Is that such a crime? Oh, no, not yet.
Remind me to keep sharp objects out of your reach.
[knocking on door.]
Yeah? I wanted to thank you for taking me around today.
I learned a lot at the Colfax sales meeting.
Great.
You know, I was thinking.
Maybe you could fill me in on some, uh, office politics here.
What did you have in mind? Well, like, um, I heard that after you slept with Amanda Woodward, you sort of lost your triple-A rating.
I mean, what's that, some kind of Samson and Delilah thing? Who the hell do you think you're talking to? I mean, she was your boss, right? I mean, did she make you do her and then drop you? Let's get something straight.
Just 'cause you and I work in the same office doesn't mean we're buddies, got that? Hey, I'm just trying to learn the ropes, Campbell.
I mean, you can't blame a guy for trying.
Anyway, I want to thank you for all your help.
And, hey, uh, I really love what you did with your office.
Mm-hmm.
It's great.
Jane, it's time to focus on the boutique.
I mean, I know you're distracted, but Hi, Sam.
The first thing you gotta do is forget about Jake.
Well, I've already forgotten.
You have? Yep.
In fact, I've invited Billy over tonight, which reminds me.
Sam? Yeah.
Could you make yourself scarce when Billy comes by tonight? I'd like to have some time alone with him.
You guys are dating? Well, I'm hardly gonna sit around lying in wait to pounce on Jake, am I? Whatever but it sounds like you're kinda crampin' Sam's style with Billy, though.
Oh! No, no, no.
I'm just not that crazy about being a sorority girl again, you know? I mean, what are you gonna do, hang a tie on the doorknob until you know, it's okay for me to come home? No.
I promise we'll work these issues out in the future, but please, for tonight, just this one favor? Yeah, yeah.
I guess I could go to a movie.
I don't know what you see in him, though.
He's kind of immature.
He's just hurting.
So this is your famous window display.
Yeah.
Do you like my painting? You painted this? Yeah.
It's Marilyn Monroe's house.
She liked stuffed animals all over her front lawn.
Maybe she was trying to find her inner child.
Inner child.
Um inner children is simply not what this store is about.
I-- I mean, you said style, you said glamour, and we've got stuffed animals.
Well, what do you think of it, Jane? I kinda like it.
Um why don't we just leave it up for a while and see what kind of feedback we get? Thank you.
Yeah, Kyle.
No.
I'd love to go hit it.
Absolutely.
But, uh, you know, me and the little woman, we got some plans, and, you know, it would probably be better if we hooked up next week in L.
A.
Great.
That would be great.
All right, thanks.
I'll talk to you then.
"Little woman"? Oh, it's just a guy thing, you know.
Golfing term.
Well, the next time the McBrides call, tell them to butt out of our life.
It's just a marriage term.
What is going on with you and Taylor, anyway? I thought something was going on with you and Taylor, actually.
[laughs.]
That's ridiculous.
Oh? She moved into our building, she shows up at your court hearing, she's your new patient.
Amanda, she's new in town.
She's latched onto a familiar face.
So I guess she just happened to latch onto Santa Barbara as well.
She was all over you, Peter.
It's not gonna stop unless we stop it.
Do you think that there's something diabolical about Kyle wanting to play golf with me, too? I don't know.
But, um, why don't you play golf with me instead? Golf together? I-- I didn't know that you knew how to play golf.
I don't, so teach me.
I want to have a life with you, Peter.
I think that husbands and wives should share the things that they love to do.
[telephone rings.]
Oh, it's probably the lady McBride wanting to play something.
Hello.
Hey, Amanda.
It's Billy.
Look, I'm on my way home, but I just had to tell you that Field's son Craig came to work at D and D yesterday.
Well, you could have told me this yesterday.
Excuse me.
I was following your orders not to call.
Just get to it, Billy.
I just don't trust the guy, that's all.
He's already tried to pump me for information.
I don't know what his game is yet.
Keep me posted.
I'll be back soon.
Hey, I thought this was gonna be a business-free honeymoon.
So did I.
Do you know what I always find is a good way to relieve business pressure? "Billy Santa Barbara honeymoon don't call cover any emergencies.
" That would be me.
[knock on door.]
Oh, hi.
Hi.
I was just leaving.
Have a nice date.
Whoa.
Hey.
This isn't a date.
Jane and I are just friends.
That's not what I heard.
Well, you heard wrong.
And I'd like to talk to you about it tomorrow night.
Uh, I don't think so.
I like you.
And I think you see a little something in me, too, so Well, you're persistent.
I'll give you that.
I'm not dating Jane.
She just wanted to talk to me, that's all.
You're the only person around here that I want to go out with, so tomorrow night? I'm free the night after tomorrow.
Oh.
Hi.
Come on in, Billy.
So what is it you wanted to talk about? Sit down.
I miss Jake.
You miss Alison.
And your point is? Well, I was just wondering how do you handle it? Move on.
What else is there to do? I don't know.
I mean I feel like barricading myself inside sometimes so that nobody can rape me or abandon me or betray me ever again.
I think I can relate to some of that.
I know you can.
I mean, don't you ever feel used by them? Yeah, I do.
I guess we both do.
Well I think we can help each other with that, Billy.
I mean I have so many feelings bottled up inside.
I need someone to give them to.
Do you know what I mean? You mean someone who can make Jake jealous.
Exactly.
I don't think so.
I'd rather forget them.
It's history.
Don't you mind having been made a fool of? They've been rutting like pigs for weeks behind your back.
It's a bad idea, Jane.
Alison and I are through.
So are you and Jake.
And you just accept that? It is what it is, Jane.
For you maybe, but Jake still feels for me.
I know he does.
I'm sorry.
He does.
I know he does.
[telephone ringing.]
I should get that.
Yeah, yeah.
It might be Shooters.
[sighs.]
Ahh.
Hello.
Hello, is anybody there? Hello, would you answer? There you go.
Take it back in one piece.
Try it like that.
Like that? Mm-hmm.
Keep your head down.
Eye on the ball.
Okay, club back.
Now grip it and rip it.
Oh.
I kept my head down.
I didn't say a word.
Well, I could hear you thinking it.
[cell phone ringing.]
Ahem.
Yes? This is Arthur Field, Amanda.
Are you enjoying yourself? Most people do on their honeymoons.
Most people don't take honeymoons as work-demands are as great as yours are.
Everything's under control.
I'm staying on top of things by phone, and Billy's advising me if any problems crop up.
Campbell doesn't know how to run a business.
Besides, he lied to me to cover for you.
Now, don't get me wrong, Amanda.
I encourage my employees to lie, but not to me.
The first thing you do when you get back this afternoon, Amanda is fire him.
Fire him? Yes, fire him.
I hadn't planned on coming in this afternoon.
Plans change, Amanda.
Okay, I'll try and rework my schedule then.
And call me.
What's the matter? Nothing.
Tell me.
I don't want to talk about it right now.
Psst.
I'm your husband, remember? We're married.
Your problems are my problems.
Blah, blah, blah.
The sharks are circling at D and D.
Oh.
Well honeymoon's over, huh? Come on, let's go back to L.
A.
I am not going to jump just because Arthur says jump.
Field is the chairman of the board, if I remember correctly.
He may pull the strings at D and D, but this is my honeymoon.
It is not over until I say it's over.
Nobody, but nobody, jerks me around.
Never have.
Never will.
That was our therapist.
We were talking about my fear of intimacy, and well, she thinks that we should start using some of those non-sexual touching techniques we talked about.
Oh.
Uh, like what? Deep back massage.
Do me first, and then I'll do you.
Oh.
Mmm.
Mmm.
I'm so tight.
That's it.
A little harder.
Mmm.
Mmm.
Ohh.
Mmm.
Isn't this better than sex? Um I don't know.
Kimberly, maybe we should start with something less ambitious, you know, like Patty-cake or something.
Mm-mmm.
This is good.
I'm starting to feel very relaxed.
Me, too.
[sighs.]
Oh.
What-- no, don't.
Why'd you stop? Massager's cramp.
Look, you know what? I'm going to go for a run, okay? I'll be back soon.
Ping-pong? [ball bounces.]
A game of shuffleboard, huh? I'm trying not to have too good a time.
I don't want to be tempted to come back.
I thought that being that you weren't showing up for your therapy sessions that you might have some time to kill.
How the hell do you know whether I'm showing up for my therapy sessions or not, and what business is it of yours? I own the joint.
You're the head doctor? That's right.
Then why are you acting like a patient? I used to be an addict myself.
I know how tough it is being a doctor and a patient at the same time.
Yeah.
Well, you know what? I get out of here tomorrow, and it's not going to be so tough after that.
Are you planning on a miracle cure? Yup.
It's called willpower.
Hmm.
Well done.
Then you don't have to worry about all the personal garbage that got you in here.
You know, stop trying to understand me so well.
Well, that's what I do.
Yeah, and the longer I stay in here, the more money you haul in, right? You think this place has made me rich? Yeah.
You're absolutely right.
A lot of self-destructive, addictive personalities out there.
My kind of people, right? Actually, Matt, you know, you remind me of me.
Hello? Anybody here? Can I get some takeout? We're not open yet.
Oh.
Hey.
I'm the new guy at your apartment building-- Kyle McBride.
Oh, right.
Hi.
Sydney Andrews, your neighbor.
This is your place? Yes.
Wow.
Awesome.
Well, thanks.
We're opening in a couple days, and I am trying to put the finishing touches on the new menu.
Oh.
Well, it smells divine.
You want to come check it out? Sure.
Great.
Uhh.
Be careful.
Goodness.
Thanks.
You okay? Yeah.
Thank you.
You moving in here, or what? No.
I just came straight to work from a trip to Santa Barbara.
Oh, Santa Barbara.
I love it there.
It's so romantic.
Yeah.
It can get that way.
Yeah.
So is that what smells so good? Yeah.
Come on.
Why don't why don't you have a taste? Oh.
Good.
Ha ha ha.
Mmm.
What do you think? Mmm.
Mmm.
I never had anything so incredible.
What's in it? Well, a little of this, a little of that.
Uh, sorry.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh, my goodness.
Ha ha.
Ha ha ha.
Okay.
Well it's just to cool to have such fabulous cuisine so close to my boutique.
You own the boutique up the street? Mm-hmm.
Yeah, um, me and my sister.
And we're just working late, so I just thought I'd come by and get some takeout.
Hey, uh, where did you get that painting in your window? I really like it.
You do? Yeah.
I mean, in fact, I need some big pieces for my walls.
I think that kind of thing would work really well.
What? Oh, actually, I um, represent the artist.
Really? Yeah.
A real up-and-comer.
And I could probably get you a deal on a couple of canvasses.
I'd owe you one.
Well, okay.
Great.
[Arthur.]
That chair has your name on it, son.
How does it fit? [Craig.]
Fine.
Great.
Just remember-- get all you can from Amanda before you toss her out.
Don't worry, Dad.
I know what to do.
What you don't do is be too sure of yourself.
She tore Campbell to pieces, and he was a good man.
I'm better.
I'd crush her myself, but she has an iron-clad contract.
Too much power for someone in her position.
For a woman in her position, you mean.
I don't have a problem with women.
No.
Just some women.
If you can't do this, Craig I'll get somebody who can.
Oh, I'll do it.
Get in.
You're a day late.
What happened? I had a scheduling conflict.
Have you fired Campbell yet? No.
That's my judgment call.
Billy's a little off his game these days, but it's simply not good business to sack him.
He's a valued employee.
He's a fool.
I ought to fire you both.
You ought to read my contract before you try.
You think you're bulletproof, don't you, Amanda? You're a protected class, which means you can cry sexism whenever it suits you, or you flash some leg when that can get you a better deal.
This is beginning to smack of harassment, Arthur.
Insubordination like yours is grounds for dismissal, whether you wave your sex or your contract in my face.
It sounds like you're forcing me to seek legal counsel.
Is that a counterthreat? Let me put it simply-- you try to fire me, I'll sue your pants off.
That's a tempting offer, Amanda Oh But let's do this instead-- demote Campbell, but you can't tell him it's part of a compromise deal.
Fair enough.
One more thing.
Give his best accounts to a hotshot new employee who joined up while you were partying in Santa Barbara.
That wouldn't be your son, by any chance? Craig.
He's probably upstairs right now revolutionizing the entire advertising industry.
Oh, I can't wait to meet him.
Hey, um, uh, you a runner? I try to keep in shape.
Well, good try.
Hey, uh, listen, I'm, uh, I'm Michael Mancini.
The pleasure's all mine.
Hey, and you are? Do you run here often? Every day! Uh, excuse me.
Hi, I'm Craig Field.
I'm-- I know who you are.
I know that my presence is bound to ruffle some feathers, but I figure I'm here to learn.
I'm here to keep my ears open and my mouth shut.
This is kind of a bad way to illustrate that, isn't it? [Craig.]
Ms.
Woodward.
Can I start over? Okay.
You can start by ordering lunch for the noon conference.
Hi.
Excuse me.
And no M.
S.
G.
So, I tried to reach you at the hotel last night, but they would not connect me.
Well, it was the end of my honeymoon, and I didn't think there was anything that couldn't wait until this morning.
So I have some very interesting news.
Save it.
I'm giving Craig your office and your top 3 accounts.
You can't do that.
I got those accounts.
Well, you haven't been performing up to standards lately.
Just consider this a probationary period.
I'll quit first.
I'd hate to see you go.
I think you should hang on for a while and see how everything pans out.
Now, what was that interesting news you had to tell me? Nothing.
Ohh! What was that? Jeez! Somebody threw a brick through the window.
Are you all right? Yeah.
It must've been Jane.
Yeah? What about Billy? Getting even with me for that fight we had.
He couldn't have done something like that.
I'm going to go talk to her.
Don't do this.
Why? Afraid you're gonna find out about sweet Jane? No.
I just think she's been through enough without us charging in like vigilantes.
Did you just throw a brick through our window? Gimme a break.
I'm just about to get in the shower.
Just answer the question.
Just because you're feeling guilty about Billy's tailspin, please, keep me out of it.
What do you mean tailspin? Just the things he's been saying about the two of you lately.
I'm sure he couldn't have done what you're saying.
Where is he? I saw him run off a minute ago.
All right.
Maybe Jane didn't do it, but neither did Billy.
[Jake.]
Yeah, right.
[Alison.]
Where are you going? Out! Hey, sorry I'm late.
It's okay.
I'm noshing.
There's a lot going on at work right now.
I had to get some things done.
Cheers.
Oh, thanks.
Yeah, I know what that's like.
Sometimes you have to be more excellent than anyone just to get a foot in the door.
It's kind of like me with this date.
It's nice to see you outside the building, actually.
I mean, what an intense bunch of people live there.
It's sure not like where I grew up.
Maryland you said, right? Yes.
Crisfield.
Everybody knew everybody there.
Nothing ever happened, except you made friends, 'cause there was nothing else to do, unlike here, where everything moves so fast.
It takes years to make friends here and then lose them.
That's okay though, isn't it? I like to look at my life in phases, sort of defined by the friends at that time.
There was the Andre period, the Bob and Roxanne period I had a long Third Avenue period.
There you go.
A whole other school of thought-- says that the phases of your life are marked by the friends you had in that time and the streets you lived on and the jobs that you had.
What? I kinda got demoted at work today.
Ooh.
You want to talk about it? Yeah, well, it's not too easy to tell someone about your failures.
Hey, you can talk about them.
It's not really a failure.
Sure you want to hear about it? Maybe this is the beginning of my Billy period.
What kind of ass throws a brick through a window? Why don't you take a look in a mirror and ask one? Where were you tonight? I was at dinner with Samantha.
It's true.
He showed up just after 8:00.
[Jake.]
Plenty of time.
Don't ever come near us again.
Are you all right? What was that about? I have no idea.
He's sick.
He should be put away.
Come on.
