Melrose Place s05e21 Episode Script

Taylor, what are you doing here? I know.
Last night was such a disaster, and I had no idea Kyle was going to come home.
I'm sorry.
I just I wanted so badly to come with you.
Look, I've got to tell you, I think this whole thing has started getting out of hand here.
No.
There's so much going on between us.
I know you feel it.
You felt it from the first moment you kissed me in front of the apartment building.
But, Taylor, this all seems like a bad reaction to our screwed-up lives.
No, it doesn't.
It was meant to be.
And I can prove it to you.
I know I can.
Taylor.
Mmm.
Taylor, listen I meant what I said.
All I want is all you have to offer I won't accept anything less If you can't commit, go run home to your father 'Cause you ain't ready for the real world yet If your heart ain't in it, don't call Don't pretend that I'm someone special The river won't dry, the sky won't fall If your heart ain't in it Little late getting in.
Busy morning? Yeah.
Obvious, isn't it? I had to pick the flowers up.
Uh-huh.
You're usually at the flower mart by the crack of dawn and still get here before anyone else.
It was busy, all right? It took a little longer than usual.
God, do you have any more questions you'd like to ask me? No, ma'am.
I know everything I need to know.
Hey, sweetheart? Come here.
You left so early this morning I didn't get a chance to tell you how great you were last night.
Well, so were you, baby.
Mmm.
I've got to get to the bank.
I will be right back.
Okay.
Can I have it, please? Thank you.
Bye.
So, Kyle you told me to look after your wife for you while you were gone, but you haven't asked me for a report.
Nick, I was just joking around, man.
Look, I know you and Taylor don't get along very well, but she's my wife, I love her.
I trust her.
Besides, rumors they just cause pain.
Hey, thought you might want another cup.
Oh, yeah.
It's a long way back to Los Angeles.
Thanks.
Yeah, and I think I'm gonna stop over tonight in Salinas.
Yeah? Oh, you did a nice job on the fence.
Yeah, well I guess it would've been nicer if I hadn't kicked it in in the first place.
Mm-hmm.
So are you ever going to tell me what's really going on between you and your girlfriend? Yeah, um yeah, she's, uh she's pregnant.
Alison's going to have a baby.
And somehow, even though I'm doing everything I know how to do that's right, it just keeps getting screwed up.
And now it looks like, uh What? I'm gonna lose that kid, like our son And the whole family thing.
Look, back when we were together, I never told you I was pregnant because I knew how rigid you were.
Come on, that's bull.
Just listen to me, okay? It's not that you're not a good man.
You are.
But when something happens, you have to handle it your way.
It's the only way you see it.
And it's the only way you'll accept it, no matter what anybody else thinks or feels.
Look, you can't control everything, Jake.
And this family thing is not just a two-way street.
It's all directions all at once.
I knew I knew you weren't the person who could slug through all that mess with me, 'cause you want everything cleaned up.
Your way or it's the highway.
Do you really think that's what I am? You tell me.
I mean, you choose the highway, you're not only gonna lose a kid You're gonna lose Alison, too, just like you lost me.
Mom, we're gonna be late! I can't find my gym shoes.
They're on top of the dryer.
I'll get them Just give me a second.
It's really good to see you again.
And, uh I hope things work out for you.
Take care.
So you're done running away, huh? Yeah.
I guess I am.
You know, I knew who you were when you showed up.
Mom never said anything but I just knew.
You did, huh? Yeah.
Hey, remember that time we talked about getting pissed off at stuff? Yeah.
Well, I used to get really angry at you 'cause you weren't around.
Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
You know, things were kind of complicated.
And by the time I did get to meet you, your dad was going to adopt you, so I you know, I had to let you go.
I know.
I'm not mad at you anymore, 'cause like you said, I already have a dad.
It's just I used to wonder about you.
Like, where you were, did you care about me at all? I care.
Yeah.
Hey, I'm glad you came.
I liked talking to you.
It means a lot to me.
Yeah, me, too.
You're a good kid.
Kimberly? Kimberly? I have been going over this for days now, trying to figure out how to approach this with you, how to deal with the rage that I feel.
Okay, and finally, you know what? It's simple.
I am here to tell you that you cannot sleep with Michael.
Okay, I have no intention of being the other woman.
Megan, you need to understand um things are Things are different now.
I just I can't go into it.
Yeah.
You're damn right things are different.
He's my husband.
So you married him after all.
The problem is, Michael's the love of my life.
Oh, stop throwing that in my face, okay? He is mine now.
And I am not going to share him with you, okay? He didn't want to hurt you, okay? But what was I going to tell him, that it was your idea? I might upset your plans.
Well, I'm not trapped by your plans or your lies anymore, Kimberly.
Stop being so angry with me, Megan.
There's nothing I can do about this.
In my heart I'm his only wife.
You're not going to push me aside.
I'm not going to let you.
Megan, what are you doing here? Michael, you should've told me that you married her.
You told her? I'll be right back.
You're leaving.
And what did you tell her for? I thought we agreed that she was too sick to hear about this.
I'll tell you this, Michael.
I don't think she's ever going to die.
I don't even think she's sick at all.
Oh, for God's sake, you don't know what you're talking about.
She's got a tumor the size of a peach pit in her head.
Then tell me why she keeps fighting so hard to keep you, Michael.
Tell me that.
Craig.
It's time for you to give me my office back.
Wait a minute.
I spent thousands expanding that bullpen office for you.
And you'll love working there.
But, personally, I like separation from the staff, and since we are partners now and I am the more equal of the two, I'll be moving back in here.
You know, you really are amazing, you know that? Yes, I do.
Fine.
Since you asked so graciously, you can have your office back starting tomorrow, only because I care about you.
And one day you'll realize that not only am I a great business partner, but I'm also a great guy to have for the rest of your life.
Don't hold your breath partner.
Hello? Peter, it's me.
I was on my way over and I spotted Nick.
He's parked his pickup out in front of the condo.
It's like he's staking us out.
Okay.
Listen, don't worry about it, all right? I'll take care of it.
Don't come over.
Go home.
All right.
Nick? Hey.
Nick, what are you doing out here, huh? All alone.
Did you come to visit? I mean, because if you came to visit, well, please, come in, we'll have a cup of coffee, huh? Ah, I'll take a rain check on that.
I like the view from out here.
I'm kind of a people watcher, you know? Yeah.
You know, Nick, I don't like to be watched, for one thing, and I don't like my friends to be followed.
Okay? I mean, you know what I mean, don't you? Your friend is married to my friend, so I'm just making sure you two aren't getting too friendly.
Did Kyle send you? Because if he did, you can tell him there's nothing going on no matter what his bartender thinks.
Okay.
Good.
Just so you know, I look out for Kyle, and if anybody hurts him, they'll regret it for a long time.
Nick, are you threatening me? Call it what .
.
Just stay away from the man's wife.
Oh, uh, thanks for stopping by, Nick.
Hey, stranger.
It's good to see you back.
Hi, Sam.
So, um, you had a good trip? Everything went all right and all? Yeah.
I'm fine.
Good.
'Cause we missed you around here, you know.
Especially Alison Although you'd probably have to pry it out of her.
You talk to her much while I was gone? A lot, actually.
I mean, she's still upset.
Amanda's feeding her anger, but I know she still loves you.
No, it's not Amanda's fault.
It's mine.
You know, I've been doing a lot of thinking since I've been gone, and I was just hoping there's some way that I could let Alison know that I've changed.
The only way I know is to get in her face and tell her.
Yeah.
Is she at DD today? Yes, she is.
But I don't think you're welcome there.
They're still trying to unscramble the file cabinet that you tore up.
But I'm, uh, picking her up in about an hour.
I'm going to take her to an O.
B.
appointment.
Maybe we can arrange for you to meet her there.
Well, I don't know if that's such a good idea.
Okay, you're right.
Um, how about after, in the parking lot? It'll be great.
It'll be like an Oprah reunion.
Yeah.
Look, I don't have time to get into this right now.
As you can see, I'm up to my ears here.
I want to know what's going on between us.
Well, as far as I can see, nothing.
But I'm sure you and your boy, Craig, have plenty worked out Unless you've moved onto someone else by now.
I told you there was nothing going on.
Oh, come on, Amanda.
The guy slobbers around you like a dog.
And you let him.
Hell, he spent more time at our apartment when I was living there than I did, and now that I'm not For God's sake, stop it.
But this isn't about me and Craig, is it? This is about you and Taylor.
Are you sleeping with her yet? I'm not getting into that with you.
No, no, of course not.
My bet is that one day you'll get into it with Kyle.
Have a nice life.
Good afternoon.
Kyle's.
Yeah, hi, hi, it's me.
Listen, um, we need to get together.
There's some things we have to talk about.
My God, Peter, you can't call me here.
It's dangerous.
I know, but I had to take a chance.
I need you to meet me tonight someplace where no one can see us.
Meet me at the the East Bridge Country Club on the fifth tee.
It's it's by the little lake there, near the road.
Okay, sure.
Of course I want to see you.
Good, good.
10:00.
All right.
I I really am sorry about the other day.
I hope I didn't make things tense between you and Amanda.
Oh, no, no.
It's fine.
I just really want to concentrate on the future now, you know? Hi.
Coincidence.
Honest.
Don't even try to sell that.
Alison, can I, uh, talk to you for a couple seconds? Promise, I'm not going to bust anything up or anything.
Two minutes.
It's simple really.
Um I was wrong.
I was completely wrong.
I love you, Alison.
And somehow that got lost in all of the other stuff.
Think you can give me another chance? I don't know, Jake.
You scared me.
I really have to figure out how I want to live my life now, and I don't know whether that can include you or not.
Anyway, I really got to get back home.
Yeah.
Maybe I'll see you again? Yeah.
Maybe.
I am almost done.
You want to go to Shooters after and play some pool? Oh, sure.
Boy, you're really getting into this proletariat thing, aren't you? Kyle, I'm not feeling real good.
If it's all right with you, I'm going to head home.
Yeah.
You going to be ok? Yeah.
I think I'm just tired.
So, Carter, you are getting very good in the kitchen.
We're going to have to give you a shot at food preparation, huh? Great.
You mean you mean, like me actually, um, cooking things? Uh, I mean, like you actually washing lettuce.
You know, you've got to start somewhere.
Oh, good.
I'd like to head out early myself early tonight, if that's okay.
Bar's closed up.
Get out of here, you bum.
All right.
Good night.
Later.
Good night.
All right.
Hit the kitchen, make sure everything's turned off, and then you and your girlfriend can go and shoot some eight-ball.
Okay.
Nice kid.
I shouldn't say kid.
No, you're right.
In some ways he is a kid.
You know, in just the way he looks at things.
Youthful enthusiasm.
I guess.
How are you doing? I feel like I haven't talked to you in weeks.
Okay.
I was gone for a couple of days.
Taylor and I are finally pulling things together.
Good.
That's good.
Ahem.
All right, everything's off.
Great.
Um, why don't you two get out of here? I'll lock up.
Okay.
Good night.
Good job, Carter.
Thanks.
Good night.
So, how is this new car of yours driving? Oh, God, it's great.
You know, Carter, giving it to me was one of the nicest things that anybody has ever done for me.
Well, I'm just I'm just glad you were there to take it off my hands.
I'll be taking it off your hands now, kiddies.
And I'll take that purse, too.
Please, just just get out of here, okay? Just leave us alone.
Carter, he's got a knife.
It's okay.
Just just take it.
It's just stuff.
No, I'm not going to let this happen.
Unh! Shut up! How about I cut your head off, huh? Not a good idea, my man.
Oh, my God.
Kyle.
Thank you.
Okay.
You all right? Yeah.
I'm I'm fine.
Thank you.
Shh.
It's okay.
Peter! Well, this is awfully romantic, but what's the emergency? Listen, I think things have gotten way too complicated.
I mean, I've got this Neanderthal parked outside of my condo and Oh, leave that to me.
I'll find a way to take care of Nick.
The bottom line is, Taylor, that you're married.
And so am I, for God's sake.
I mean, maybe not for long but You understand, this is my life we're talking about here, and everything's gotten too Too confused.
I've finally got my feet on the ground at the hospital and I try to concentrate on making people well, and all I can do is worry about being caught up in some lie-infested affair.
I just think that we need to keep our our distance for a while.
If that's what you want, all right.
But I'll miss being in your arms, pulling you to me and kissing you.
If this is good-bye, I just, uh want you to think about what you might lose.
I mean, you've pursued and pursued Amanda and you've hardly had one happy moment with her.
But you and I, we listen to each other.
What we get from each other we can't get from anyone else.
With us it's destiny brought together by Beth.
It's going to be hard for me to say good-bye because I love you.
I adore everything about you.
And I just want you to feel that way about me.
Maybe just a little bit? Maybe a little.
Maybe more than a little? Maybe.
Well, I just don't understand why you did it, that's all.
You know, you're ambushing Alison when she's her most vulnerable.
Oh, I wasn't ambushing anyone.
I was trying to put two people back together again who were in love.
Two people who were having a hell of a lot of problems.
The last thing she needs is you upsetting her.
She's fine.
Well, she was a little ticked off, but just for, like, a half hour or so, and then when we were in the car, we were chatting about the baby and everything was cool.
'Cause she didn't want you to feel bad.
Of course, you didn't really care how she felt, now did you? Throwing Jake in her face? I mean, you saw what he did at DD.
Obviously, the guy's not really good for her right now.
Oh, oh, I see.
But you are, aren't you, Billy? Oh, for God's sake.
Is that what all this Cupid crap's about, your jealous? Well, whether you believe it or not, I was trying to help Alison and Jake.
But as soon as he stepped out of the picture, you jumped in with both feet.
I saw you two at work.
The perfect couple back together again.
And the last person you want around is the father of her child.
Oh, great.
This is just great.
If you're going to dump me and go back to her, then at least tell me to my face.
I'll tell you.
I'll tell you what.
This is completely insane.
It's ridiculous and childish and I have no more time for it.
Billy, don't leave like this.
I'm late for work.
Please.
You know, I think I've had my taste of the real world and it's it's very it's very interesting, you know, but, uh, wouldn't it be nice just to be able to get away from it all for a while? Yeah.
Are you talking about a trip? I'm I'm talking about me stopping this pretense that I'm I'm not who I am, you know? That I that I don't have this money and Yeah, I'm talking about having my private jet pick us up tomorrow night and take us to Mexico.
Hell, you know, we'll go to Buenos Aires after that.
I don't know.
Why get beat up in the parking lots of L.
A.
when you can you can dance in the streets in Rio? Carter, really, you don't have to do this.
I like you any way you want to be.
If you want to wash dishes, that is fine with me.
Well, you know what? I've really thought about that and, uh, it's it's not fine, really, with me anymore.
You know, nothing personal, but I just The real world really kind of sucks.
And, um, I think that I would just rather be a filthy rich computer genius.
Um so, what do you say? Man: The prognosis Doctor.
Morning, Doctor.
Excuse me, Nurse.
Uh, I work with Dr.
Stein, and he is furious about his patient's charts.
There are some that have been here for three days.
Dr.
Habib, we are doing our best.
They're right over there if you want them so badly.
Shaw, Kimberly.
Megan.
What the hell are you doing? I can explain.
Have you completely lost your mind? Dressing up like this and sneaking around.
What for? It's Kimberly.
She isn't really sick.
There's something going on here.
Oh, this is pitiful.
Then look at this and prove me wrong.
There's a recent M.
R.
I.
in there.
I don't know what it means.
You tell me.
You know, you don't know what you're talking about.
Now, will you take the lab coat off before Dr.
Habib comes back? Look.
Oh, my God.
She's in remission.
Hi.
Hi.
All right, this is what happened.
I spent all morning at work realizing what a jerk I'd been, and I saw Alison, so I just told her that That you and I really hope she works everything out with Jake.
And that's it.
And then I spent all afternoon trying to figure out what I could get you to make up in some small way for All right, bring the loot over.
Let's see what you got.
Well, I really didn't know what to get, so I got everything.
I got you the wine, and I got you some flowers, and I got you some candy It's Swiss chocolate with all the nuts and everything, you know? And I got you a box of pastels.
These are nice.
Thank you.
Yeah, well, I figured you could do some drawing while you're getting drunk and pigging out.
And I also figured that you needed to know how much I love you.
I love you, too.
And I can't stand being mad at you.
Well, how about we just stay out of other people's business? Yeah.
Pay attention to ours.
Mmm.
I love when you get like this.
Where are you off to, Taylor? None of your damn business.
What's this? Photos of you and your boyfriend out on the golf course doing a little pitch and putt.
You scummy piece of garbage, what is it? What do you want, money? No.
No, you little tramp.
For some unknown reason, Kyle loves you.
Now, you stop doing it with this piece of dirt and be Kyle's wife or I'll rip your boyfriend's arms off and shove them down his throat.
Now, are we clear? I just wanted to tell you where I went when I took off.
I really didn't know where I was going but I ended up in this little town up north where my ex-girlfriend and my son are.
Did you see them? Uh-huh.
And I had a couple of long talks with both of them.
But, you see, the thing is, I really blew it with them.
And I guess you know how I get so fixed on things, and how they should be and I hold on to things so tight Jake, you're passionate.
That's good.
As long as you're not breaking things up.
And, yes, you can be a little bit rigid, but so can I.
I I really think it's more than that.
I think we have different dreams.
Everybody does, don't they? No.
I mean, deep down.
You can't bury who you are, Jake.
I think you really want the The perfect house and the perfect family.
I I don't think I can do that.
All right, then tell me, what do you want? My dreams got beaten down so long ago, I can't even see them anymore.
We're we're perfect together.
We can fix all of that.
I don't know, Jake.
I don't know if we can.
Come on.
So, did your evening stroll with the bartender finally get him out of your system? Your command of the insulting phrase has always amazed me.
You didn't answer my question.
Okay, uh, not exactly.
Well, your command of the nothing phrase stuns me.
What happened? Honestly, I I still care about him, I just don't know if I'm the right person for him.
The right person for him? Remember, this is the same jerk who was down in the courtyard screaming, making a fool of himself, busting up DD.
For God's sake, Alison, the guy is a selfish moron like most men.
Amanda.
I hope you're not turning back into the weak-willed ninny you were before you moved in with me.
Would you listen to yourself? What? I appreciate your support recently, but I'm just trying to sort things out, all right? No, it's not all right.
Not if you're going to buy into a bunch of lies from a guy you can't trust.
Well, that's my decision, isn't it? Alison.
Look at it logically.
You come to me, miserable and abused, I open up my heart and move you in with me.
I give you your job back at DD, we spend night after night talking about your future, your baby for what? For me! To try to figure out what I'm going to do which I am doing.
I am not turning into you, thank God.
So would you would you please just leave me alone? Fine.
I'll do that.
Oh.
That was quite a donnybrook you guys were having.
Yeah.
I think she has Jake confused with Peter Burns.
So, how are you and Billy doing? I got the idea from him that I was the cause of some friction between you two.
Oh, no, no.
We're fine.
He, uh, threw himself at my feet.
That's one way to get a girl in bed.
So, um, he said I was the love of his life, that, um he really wants to be with me.
Do you think I should believe him? I don't know.
I think I should.
I think I feel the same way about him.
What the hell? I mean, either you take a chance or you end up alone, right? Anyway I'll I'll see you.
I'll see you.
Okay, so you see the receptionist there and, uh, she'll set your next appointment.
Thanks.
Hi.
Where've you been? It's time you know something.
I didn't want to tell you earlier because I didn't I didn't believe it, really, and And then when I looked around, you were with Megan and I've seen your records.
I know you're in remission.
So, congratulations are in order.
Uh, but on the other hand, you don't need a live-in doctor anymore.
But I still need you, Michael, more than ever.
Because well, I don't know when it could come back.
And it's because of you that I'm getting better.
Your love and your belief in me is what's making me well.
Don't don't take that away from me.
Listen, Kimberly, I You know, I've spent the last few days and nights with Megan.
I mean, she's my wife and I've treated her terribly, and I I can't do that anymore.
Now, you'll always be my friend but But I'm married to Megan and that's all there is to it.
If you need anything, within reason, I mean, please, go ahead and ask, but outside of that I'm a friend? She's your wife? Michael, I invented this whole thing.
You can't leave me behind.
I know how everything started, but that has all changed now.
Please.
Michael, I did everything for you.
Don't leave me now.
If I've been given a chance to live, how can I live it without you? You're my life.
Kimberly, I'm I'm sorry, but I have to stick with Megan.
Michael, you have got to stop forgetting your key.
This is too Freudian.
Oh, my God.
Get out of here.
Look, I don't know you anymore.
Sure, you do, Megan.
I'm your best friend in the whole world, remember? Yeah, I remember you, Joshua.
You are a slick pimp and you are nobody's friend.
Now, I'm asking you to get out of here before I have to call the cops, all right? Look, I'm not in the business anymore.
Yeah.
That was really rude of you, cutting off all those guys like that, ruining my reputation.
As a matter of fact, I got a call from one of your clients.
The client says that you took money and didn't perform the services.
Now that client wants that money from me.
Look, whatever you need, okay? Either I'll get it to you or my husband will get Who the hell are you to get married, huh? You didn't ask me.
What? You thought you turned into princess grace? No, baby.
You are a whore.
That's something you shouldn't forget.
You see, it's not about the money.
It's about the principle.
I'm back in your life, Megan.
Now go get me a beer.
Hi.
Carter, oh, my God.
Sydney told me about the trip you're going to take her on.
I can't believe it.
That is so amazing.
So, is she around? Uh, yes.
She's in the back with a supplier.
Carter, it really is a cool thing you're doing.
Thanks.
That's what's I'm saying You know, you never get what you really want, you know? It's like, I've got these 2 guys, right? One has got serious, and I mean, serious money.
And the other one married.
And the married guy really makes it happen for me, you know? And the rich guy, I mean, he's single and all, but it's like you're always looking for that special feeling, you know? If the married one were single, it wouldn't even be a contest.
You want my advice? Sure.
Go for the money.
Oh! Well, that's what I'm going to do.
Okay, thank you.
Thank you very much.
Hey, doc, how's it going? Fine.
Fine.
What can I do for you? It's what I can do for you, lover boy.
Those are nice flowers.
They're not for my friend's wife? That'd be a real waste.
You know something, bartender? I'm really getting tired of you screwing with me.
It's funny you should put it that way, 'cause if you're planning any more midnight golf, you'd better give it up.
Taylor's going to be a good wife from now on.
Bake cookies, sleep with her own husband.
You understand? I don't know what you're talking about, but I know you're getting on my nerves.
Hey look, Slick, I don't like anything about you.
That country club smooth, your phony smile.
Most of all, I don't like you doing Taylor.
Now, I'll tell you one more time back off, put an end to it, or I will put an end to you.
Okay? Have a nice day.
Alison, hi.
Hi.
Listen, um what happened between us and the way you reacted, all the things that were said and done, it caused a lot of damage.
Yeah.
No, I know.
And and it was it was all my fault.
No, no.
Would you listen to me? I've been thinking.
You said that you didn't want to blow it again, and neither do I.
And I do have a dream.
It may not be as as clear as yours, but it is definite.
I dream about taking chances in my life, about stepping off the cliff into the unknown and never living with regrets again.
I love that dream.
And I love you.
And the chance I want to take is to be with you.
If you still want me.
More than anything in the whole world.
Carter, I am so excited and so looking forward to this.
God, what a beautiful jet.
How do you like my travel outfit? It's a Casablanca kind of thing matching hat.
I'm sorry.
I'm not sure I should be going anywhere with you.
What what do you mean? I I've changed everything.
I'm ready to run off with you.
I mean, I've given up things.
What You don't have to.
You can go back to your life and get what you really want, because you don't really want me, Sydney.
I I do.
I do.
No.
Carter We can go to Mexico, go on the beach, have some drinks, talk, what I'm flying to San Francisco and I'm taking back control of my company, Sydney.
Sydney some day you will find the guy who has everything you need.
Okay? What if it's you?
