Melrose Place s05e27 Episode Script
2396151 - The Dead Wives Club
Hey, you don't have to be so rude.
Helping him get a job will give him more independence, more meaning to his life.
I know! Shooters.
Considering the boutique is out of business, shouldn't you be thinking about getting yourself a job? Hi, guys! Jake, I don't know if you're aware of it, but my dad's looking for a job.
He'll take any job.
I right this second flashed on Shooters.
He'll take anything you got.
Can I send him around? Sure! Yeah.
I'll call Joe from the road.
We're off to parts unknown.
Destiny is gonna lead us to the perfect place to get married.
Billy: Oh eloping.
That's great.
What what changed your mind? Aw, it's so romantic! You don't even know where! We'll know when we get there.
Get your dad in there sometime this morning.
It won't be a problem.
Thanks, Jake.
Good luck, you guys! Yeah, all the best.
Okay If my dad borrows one of your ties? Yeah.
Oh, thanks.
Sure.
Sydney? What do ya know, small world, huh? How you doing? You of all people should know, seeing as how you're the one responsible for me losing everything that ever meant anything to me.
What, are you following me? You want to see how much I took out of my account just so you can maybe get your greedy paws on some of that, too? You see Sydney, I'm giving you a chance to turn the tables.
Join up with me, and you can be the one to cash in.
Obviously the word fraud doesn't mean anything to you, not to mention prison.
Now, if you'll excuse me, this is my rental car.
I'm just up the street.
The lot on the corner.
You don't mind, do you? Buckle up.
Oh, you're perfect for this, Sydney.
All you gotta do is take a little tumble, and you turn the rest over to me.
We file suit.
I parade in the best expert witnesses Next thing you know, they're showering you with cash.
Nothing is that easy, Mr.
Dean.
Please it's Harry.
What are you doing?! You idiot! This is a rental! I waived the collision insurance! Relax.
I'm just giving you a little preview.
Oh, boy.
Oh, look at this! My God! Weren't you looking where you were going? Oh I pulled something here.
I can feel it.
It's all out of whack.
Oh we gotta report this.
I'm calling the cops.
Wait! Whoa! Guys, come on.
My car took the brunt of it here.
If we get the police involved, my rates go up, your rates go up.
What do you say we just settle it right here, okay? Uh you got a dent, broken tail light.
Back end's pretty messed up.
How about $1,000? You obviously haven't been to a body shop lately.
What about my friend here? Yeah Look, I got my checkbook in the car.
How about 1,500? Why don't we make it an even 2 grand? You got it.
Ha ha ha ha.
How easy was that? Too easy.
Easy has its repercussions.
That's it.
That's the end.
I won't be corrupted.
I would like to talk about this, okay? The ad.
You saw it.
That's what I want to talk to you about.
I don't like it at all.
Well, it can't be the graphics.
I supervised it myself.
And the placement is the best money can buy.
It's who's featured in the artwork.
It's Taylor front and center, holding menus.
This is my place with my name out front.
I see.
It's an issue of ego.
The point is, I never approved this.
I know.
Taylor did, when you were still attached.
I would like this pulled immediately, I would like it pulled and I would like it changed.
Done deal.
I'll get Billy on it right away.
Hmm.
Ha.
Uh look, I'm sorry.
I went to the restaurant today, and everybody was talking about it, and I lost it.
It's no problem.
I wrote the book on misplaced anger.
Since you came all the way out here, how about coffee? Tempting, but I gotta get back to work.
Another time? You know all my haunts.
All right.
Later.
No you keep it.
Keep it.
Matt, I don't wanna see my mother.
This whole idea just sucks.
There's no other choice, okay? You gotta meet with her.
Odds are, once she sees how happy you are here, she'll head back to Europe, and that'll be that.
Just be cool, okay? Just and Be polite.
Be honest.
The boy scout creed, no doubt.
Matt.
Hello, Chelsea.
Oh, Chelsea.
You poor thing.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
You've been through so much, and if I had known, I would have come sooner.
Um I'm fine, actually.
I I really like it here.
I'm sure you do.
Matt's been great.
He's taken on a very difficult task.
I'm not that difficult.
I'm not saying that.
No, you're just saying that you can just waltz in here because you're my mother, and like it doesn't matter that you abandoned me? I don't doubt that your father has told you many things about He stayed, okay? You left! You left.
Chelsea, your father was very angry at me when we broke up.
He didn't understand me.
Well, then it's like father like daughter, because I don't understand you, either.
So why don't you just get out of here? Would you please give me the opportunity to at least tell you that I'm sorry? Just go! Mario! Let's go.
Lunch rush is on the way.
Be right there.
Kyle.
Hi.
Hey.
I know you're busy, but I'm kind of in a desperate situation here.
And while I know I only come to you in desperate situations, this one really is desperate.
I need a job.
An honest job.
I was thinking waitressing.
I've done it before at Shooters, it was mostly burgers and beers and stuff, but I figure if I can do that I can pretty much do anything.
Well, I gotta admit, we could use a little extra help around here.
Oh, uh, great Not again.
Not again! I knew the minute that you lost your boutique, you'd come nosing around here for another job.
I knew it! I take it you don't like the idea.
Hate it.
You're hired, Syd.
Start tonight.
White blouse.
Black pants.
Great.
Um thanks.
You won't be disappointed.
This is tit for tat.
Not at all.
You are doing Peter on a regular basis.
I am hiring somebody I slept with just once.
Oh! That is your crap in the box over there, stuff you left behind.
Ha.
I love that wedding album.
Peter and your sister.
Amazing you kept that hidden from me all these years.
What'd you do, wait till I was out of the apartment, then drool over the pictures of the dashing young Peter? You had no right to go through my things! Nice wedding, too.
Ha.
His dad really rolled out the old carpet for old Dr.
Burns.
It's no wonder they were less than thrilled by your choice of an ex-marine with few if any prospects.
It must have been tough to grow up in the shadow of someone like Beth.
Too bad she's not still around to see how well you turned out.
One of these days, you're gonna choke to death on that sarcasm.
Just so long as after I'm gone you honor my memory the way you have your sister's.
Yeah, I'll crash your funeral and spit on your grave.
You still got a mouth on you, I'll give you that.
Just so you know you'll never be getting close to it again.
I, uh, wanted to get it all packed before the real estate agents moved in.
You have stuff here as well that'll have to go.
Oh, no.
Only if we want it to.
Kimberly's mother called.
The will was read.
Kimberly left us the house.
Yeah.
Apparently she had mortgage insurance, so it's it's ours, free and clear.
And you're suggesting what? That we live here? Well, I mean, move or stay, we're still saddled with the memories.
Come on, Megan.
This is a great place.
Couple of coats of paint, some new furniture we could make it our own.
I don't know.
It's kind of weird.
Oh, come on, Megan! Aren't you tired of of running away? You know, Michael, I'm just not sure that I am that strong.
You are.
Megan, you have to be.
Hey, I'm on a collision course with success here, okay? I mean it may not seem like that right now, but it's in the stars.
And you think that living here has something to do with that? Hey did you ever hear the expression, "go to the top and never look back"? Well, this is phase one of the never look back chapter.
Now, are you with me or against me? Speak now or forever hold your peace.
I'm with you.
You know that I'm always with you.
Oh! Mmm mmm Peter, I'm home.
Great.
Great.
I'll be right out.
Listen, I, um I put a new dress on the bed.
I picked it up on the way home.
Why don't you slip it on, and I'll take you to the Palm for some lobster.
Cool.
So what are you doing home so early? Sydney's working forKyle at the restaurant again.
Can you believe it? I went out for a little air and I never went back.
You sure about this dress? I don't feel very comfortable in it.
No, it's perfect.
You look exactly how I want you to look.
Wait till you see me out of it.
No, no.
Not so fast.
Maybe you should try playing hard to get.
That's it.
Resist me.
Peter, I don't like this.
That's the idea.
Stop! Now quit fighting me.
This is too weird.
Come on.
It's what you want, and you know it.
No! No! Say it.
Stop it! No! Yes.
Oh, yes.
Thanks for the ride, Matt.
You sure you're okay? Yeah.
I feel great, actually.
About everything.
Staying with you it's where I belong.
End of story.
Bye.
Chelsea.
Chelsea, wait.
Let go of me.
Leave me alone.
I understand.
I do.
I know what it's like to be scared to open up your feelings.
If you could just give me a few minutes That's all I need.
I'll be late.
Then just one.
I I can't go back to Europe without you at least knowing how I feel.
How do I say this? I have loved you from the moment you were conceived.
And every moment after that.
I have loved you and missed you and regretted my decision to leave, and I know that by saying that it was the worst mistake of my life isn't going to change things or make this any better.
It's Chelsea, it's It's just that when something like this happens, every day you let go by, you're just that much further away from repairing it.
Y-you better go back to class.
I I'm so sorry for everything.
I am so sorry.
Wait.
Wait, wait, wait.
You have to know this.
When I was little every day, I used to pray that you would come back.
I guess one of your prayers found its way to Europe.
I'm so glad it did.
Oh, honey.
Mom.
My Chelsea.
My Chelsea.
Megan, what are those? Uh, latest volume of memos.
Peter wants me to have 'em ready in time for the board meeting.
I still have to copy and distribute.
Yeah, listen.
You forgot one.
No, I didn't.
What's this? Never mind.
Just make sure he signs it without reading it.
Didn't you tell me that he never reads before signing? "I strongly urge the use of p1000 in all surgical situations" Okay, all right.
If you must know, it's a memo promoting a product that Peter helped develop and owns a piece of.
In other words, any recommendation would be self-serving and a conflict of interest.
See? Once that gets out, they'll toss him out quicker than you can say Whitewater.
And you become the next chief of staff.
Very good.
You're catching on.
This is totally unethical.
Come on.
No.
It's nothing like that.
Think of it as a case of acute mischief.
Are we done yet? I've got surgery.
Oh, here we go.
Great, great, great.
Now, I want full distribution by the time I get back.
Okay? Thanks.
You heard what he said, full distribution.
I hope you guys aren't in a real big hurry.
It could be a day or 2 before I get a new fuel pump.
Well, I think we'll live.
Um there isn't anyplace romantic around here, is there? Well, the motel up in town's got a bit of a reputation.
Satellite TV.
Well, actually, we were looking for a place to get married.
Oh, well couple of days, you'll be back on the road.
That's the best I can promise.
We'd better get rolling.
Well, that's what we get for putting ourselves in the hands of fate.
The only fate is to be together forever.
Exactly.
This is just a bump on the road, not a sign from above.
Even if it was, I guarantee you the gods would be applauding our decision.
I don't care what he said.
The customer is always right.
Sorry to interrupt, but I'm looking for Kyle.
Amanda! Uh, excuse me.
What can I do for you? A little business to discuss.
I'm surprised you'd give me the time of day after my little tirade.
So I thought Billy was taking over the account.
Well, actually, I'm giving you the opportunity to change your mind.
That ad that you hated so much just won a Silva Design Award.
It is the most prestigious award on the West Coast.
No kidding.
We'll both benefit from the exposure.
I'm throwing a cocktail party at the office to celebrate.
It's customary.
And you have to be there.
Mmm.
I'll go you one better.
My, uh, staff and I will cater it for you.
Does that include your mini harem as well? We all have our burdens to bear.
Uh I know I promised, but I couldn't stay away.
Can you come sit down for a second? Yeah, sure.
So how's the first day on the job? It couldn't be better.
'Course, cleaning the rest rooms isn't exactly my first choice of a career.
Kinda smacks of being on the inside, if you know what I mean.
Only you get a paycheck out here.
Well, actually, I asked for cash under the table.
They said that was up to Jake when he gets back.
You guys'll clear it with him, right? Sure.
Of course.
I'm going to the rest room.
Billy, will you order me a white wine? Mmm hmm.
You don't like me very much, do you, son? I don't really know you, Jim.
Well, I sure know you.
And you can be damned sure that I don't like you.
Never had to work a day in your life, have you? That is total crap.
I worked very hard for everything I've gotten.
Except Sam.
She came to you real easy.
Look we love each other.
Then get married.
That's what people in love do.
They tie the knot.
You know after I get enough saved up to get my own place, it might be better if Sam moved in with me for a while.
She's not so old that I still can't tell her what to do.
What if I object? Well, then that would be your tough luck, wouldn't it? Ah.
What a night, huh? I have blisters instead of skin, bunions where I once had toes.
Can't complain about the tips.
Customers like you, Syd.
You got personality.
You like it, too.
You uh eh? A-hee? A-ha? Ahh! Oh, yes What you thought I wouldn't notice you staring at me all night? It was that energy thing.
I wanted to see when it ran out.
Guess I'm like that battery bunny.
I just keep going going and going.
And going and going.
You know I used to dream that someday you'd be free of Taylor and that something would happen to make you open your eyes.
You know why I lost Carter, don't you? No.
He figured out that I'd never really gotten over you.
It's true.
I I haven't.
Syd, I like you.
I really do, but I I'm not ready to be in a relationship with anybody.
Except maybe Amanda, right? Hey, that's not true.
Yeah, right.
You don't know how bad this is, getting rejected for what the third time? Come on, Syd.
It's not you.
You know, my life has just been hell lately, and I guess I was just looking for a little sympathy.
What was I thinking? This did not happen, okay? It did not happen.
Don't be shy.
Come join me! You can't imagine how wonderful this is.
Ever since I passed through to the other side, I'm finally at peace.
Wait.
I haven't passed through, too, have I? No, no, no! You're just dreaming.
I thought it was a good place for us to talk.
You know, Megan, I knew you wouldn't want to stay at the beach house, but that's just silliness.
I I want you to stay.
And I promise not to show up or linger there even as memories.
You have to understand, it's a place that makes Michael happy.
I don't know how to explain it any better than that.
He's just different when he's there.
He's happier, more relaxed.
And there's still some things you need to know about him, Megan.
You have to be careful.
He can be very tough on his wives.
You mean unfaithful? No, no.
I'm talking about his ruthless ambition.
It's bottomless and never fulfilled.
And he drags his wives into the same dangerous morass, usually destroying them before he destroys himself.
Jane went through it.
Sydney twice.
I batted clean-up.
What can I do? What I never could save him from himself.
And your reward will be a solid, happy marriage.
Wait.
I still don't understand.
If you are so happy up here, why are you worried about my marriage? Well, it isn't actually official yet, but I might be your guardian angel.
Right now, you have to go back to bed, because there is nothing Michael enjoys more than to be awakened in the middle of the night for lovemaking.
Oh You okay? Yeah.
Just a dream.
Mmm Oh, there's the expert.
Hey, listen, how many tables do you think I'd need to put in here to seat 16 people for a dinner party? The board's gonna be in town, and I want to have some get-together for them.
What do you think, Wouldn't a restaurant make more sense? Well, it's politically more appropriate to have it here.
Besides, we can make it dressy or sophisticated.
Give you a chance to wear that new dress.
Impossible.
I took it back.
That dress was a gift.
Page 6.
And don't dare tell me it was a coincidence.
Oh, you don't have to look because you know what I'm talking about.
The dress that Beth wore on your honeymoon? The same dress that you keep wanting me to wear? Yeah, Beth was quite an entertainer, too, wasn't she? She'd know how many tables and what to serve.
Oh, yeah! Beth was a regular Martha Stewart.
Well, let me tell you something, Peter, this is sick.
It is demented.
I am not Beth, nor will I ever be Beth.
Is turning me into Beth the only way that you can love me? Is that what's going on here? Talk to me, damn it.
Admit to me that you're trying to turn me into Beth.
Go to Hell! Where are you going? Um I know this is really short notice, but I'm gonna be staying with my mom at her hotel for a few days.
And then we're gonna go to Europe together.
I left you a note.
Chelsea I'm your legal guardian.
Yeah, and she's my mother.
I know.
I didn't think that meant anything either.
But when I thought about it and we talked, I just can't ignore that, even if you have been great to me.
And you have, Matt.
What do you know about her? What do you really know? I know that she loves me, and that she always has.
She's just not the woman that my dad said she was.
You know? And I've got to give her a second chance.
So, thanks, Matt for everything.
It'll be another day until he gets to the fuel pump.
We've already toured this burg, all 2 blocks of it.
What are we gonna do? Well, slow down and we'll talk about it.
I'm restless.
I walk when I'm restless.
Hey, I heard there's a movie theater in town.
It's a drive-in.
You need a car for a drive-in.
Look, I'm sorry things didn't work out.
Will they ever, Jake? Have they ever? Our relationship is like this wall of stumbling blocks.
Even when we don't plan anything, even when we don't have any expectations, things still don't work out.
I can't believe we never saw that.
We walked this street 10 times.
Kismet.
Oh! I'm sorry.
May I help you? Um my fiancé and I were just passing by your church and are you the minister? No.
I'm sorry.
I'm the minister's husband.
I'm the pastor here.
Care Lawford.
Can I help you? Well maybe some other time.
We just happened to be marooned in town, and actually, we were we were looking to get married, but if this is a bad time I'll say.
The pains are 8 minutes apart.
Oh, plenty of time, Tim.
And these 2 look positively desperate.
You uh don't mind the abridged edition, do you? No.
And you love each other, right? Uh yeah, of course.
Then let's get started.
The bottom line, ladies and gentlemen, is that this hospital is running at its most efficient level in years.
Ooh, sorry.
These meetings are open to anyone, I understand.
How are you? Dr.
Michael Mancini, surgeon.
Nice to see you again.
So if there are no further questions or interruptions Um well, have you discussed surgical expenditures yet? We've just finished.
Oh, and no one was just a little bit interested in the P1000? The budget was unanimously approved.
Oh, well, there must be some mistake then.
You see, as chief of staff, Peter, aren't you obligated to disclose all financial holdings? I'm uh give me that, will you? Referring to the memo dated several days ago, recommending the use of the P1000 in all surgical procedures.
Um I know it's in here somewhere.
Michael, no one in this room has any idea what you're talking about.
I personally developed the P1000 and would never recommend its use.
It would be a direct conflict of interest.
Well, I I'm sure I saw a memo.
Well, not from me.
In any case, this meeting is adjourned, and I look forward to seeing all of you tomorrow night at my house for dinner.
Well, almost all of you.
Thank you.
See you tomorrow tonight.
Great, great.
Thank you, Dr.
Burns.
See you tomorrow night.
We'll see ya then.
All right, thank you.
Okay, thank you.
Hi, I'm looking for Dr.
Burns.
I bet you are.
All right, tell me it's not true, tell me you didn't take that memo out of the board members' folders.
Yeah well, it wasn't easy.
I had to track them down individually.
Damn you.
Do you have any idea how stupid I looked at that board meeting? Ranting about some memo which as far as they were concerned didn't exist? What, you actually went to the meeting? Of course.
How else was I supposed to pull the lever on Peter? I had a crisis of conscience, okay? I couldn't do it to Peter.
He's been nothing but supportive of me.
So you screw me, your husband? No, Michael.
I believe in you, that you can get this job on your own.
Oh, good Lord, listen to you.
I thought hookers weren't supposed to have a conscience.
I'm not gonna be your pawn, Michael.
I reinvented myself, and if you're smart, you will do the same thing.
So, Sam, honey, there's something I need to tell you.
I wasn't gonna tell you, but now I can't hold on to it any longer.
Your father your father pretty much threatened me.
It wasn't a hint or some kind of sarcastic remark.
You know, he flat out said he didn't approve of you and me, and the emphasis was definitely on me.
You're exaggerating.
No.
Sam the guy is hiding some things, and I think there's some questions that you need to ask yourself.
Well, why bother when I have you to ask them? He told you not to tell your mom that he's living with us.
Okay? You don't ask why.
He wants to be paid under the table.
You don't lift an eyebrow.
All right? He smiles at you and he threatens me.
Every time he sees a cop he goes cross-eyed.
I mean, the man is definitely hiding something, and you, you just sit there with this kind of guilt-trip denial.
I owe him.
Don't you understand that? He brought me into this world, he sacrificed for me, and I let him down.
So yeah, he's a little bitter and a little angry.
But he is not here to hurt you or me or anyone.
Okay? You just have to trust me on that, Billy.
It's not you I have the trust issue with.
Look, I guess I was wrong.
This whole night is a big mistake.
Just take me home.
Okay.
Amanda! What are you doing here? I assume the same thing that you're doing What did you end up with? Oh um Vintage Brando.
Thrills of a vicarious nature.
Don't ask me why, but the guy still gives me chills.
Well, I'm working on my feminine side.
What? You know what? You've got a very honest laugh.
I never noticed that before.
Well, it doesn't come out much.
At least, not lately.
I I uh I'm actually more in the mood for Brando than I am for Meryl Streep.
Are you trying to get me to invite you over? I've seen your TV, much nicer than mine.
You men are so selfish.
Mm-hmm, and less chatty.
You don't talk during movies, do you? From start to finish.
Hmm.
Hey.
Where did I once hear that this was supposed to be the happiest night of your life? Oh, it was.
It is.
I was just thinking about our baby.
I guess I put it out of my mind.
But when I think about it, all this, you know, the getting in the car and just driving, the truth is I was running away.
I haven't even cried.
And I just woke up feeling so so terribly sad.
So alone.
You'll never be alone again.
I'll always be here, forever.
$2,000.
I'm still not committing to anything.
I have a job.
Forget waitressing.
With you and I working together, we have a chance for a big score.
No more insurance companies or 5 and dime operations.
I'm saying we go after something big, a corporation, something prestigious.
That bitch.
Who, where? Amanda Woodward.
I wait and I wait for that guy and all she has to do is wiggle her butt.
Well, it is a nice butt.
Yeah.
So's his.
Almost belonged to me.
Anyway, as I was saying.
Wait.
That's it.
It's right in front of us.
Big corporation you're looking for? Ever heard of D and D Advertising? Sure.
Big company.
Huge.
You should see all the marble they've got at their offices.
Acres and acres of it.
We wouldn't even need a banana peel.
Mmm.
Why do I feel like this suddenly just got personal? It did.
Amanda owns half the company.
Oh, you naughty little girl.
Only when I have to be.
Oh, whatever you do, don't look at the clock.
I say we just spend the whole day in bed.
With a little luck, they'll never find that fuel pump.
You spoke too soon.
Hang on! Mornin'.
Morning.
Or is it afternoon already? Either way, this is for you.
I'm friends with Pastor Care and her husband.
They had a girl, The pastor, she said that you were newlyweds.
First I've ever had in this place.
Do you believe it? Anyway you two have a good life.
Thank you.
I know, I should've declined it, but No, come on.
It's such a sweet gesture.
I'm so happy right now, one glass of champagne isn't gonna kill me.
How else are we gonna toast our marriage? I don't know, bottled water? Diet soda? Come on, open the bottle.
It'll be our one official wedding thing.
Okay.
If you insist.
Hey.
Hey, hey.
Okay.
To my lovely bride, who I will love with all my heart for all my life.
To my husband, Jake, and no more sadness in our lives.
See? One glass and no more.
It's a cakewalk.
Samantha Reilly? Yes, that's me.
Detective Stevenson, L.
A.
P.
D.
We're looking for your father, Jim Reilly.
Have you seen or spoken to him lately? Why? What's he done? Well, he escaped from prison, Ms.
Reilly, a little over a week ago.
Our leads ran out in Sacramento, and that's why we thought he might end up here.
Well, I haven't seen him.
In years, actually.
And wouldn't this be the last place he would come? Are you aware that it was my testimony that got him put away? Yeah.
Yeah, his own kid.
That's rough.
Well, you uh let us know if he contacts you.
Okay? Certainly, right away.
Good evening, Jesse.
Well, Dr.
Burns, I must say, you are the handsomest chief of staff in ages.
That old Hobbs was such an old stick in the mud.
Did I understand you were seeing someone new? Oh, no.
Just playing the field.
Really? Then who's that? Taylor: Yes, we're both so excited by Peter's success.
If anyone was ever born to a job, it was certainly Peter.
Taylor, sweetheart, could I have a second? Would you excuse us for a minute? Thanks.
So would you like to explain this? I didn't think I'd have to.
Doesn't the dress say it all? Don't you think we should seat our guests? On second thought, why don't you just leave everything to me? You really should stay sober at these things.
Hey, it's not my night.
Kyle's the client of the week, the boy toy of the moment.
There's nothing "boy" aboutKyle.
Mm-hmm.
Canapés? Sydney, what are you doing here? Making an honest living.
Shocking, isn't it? Mm-hmm.
No, thanks.
Uh call for you on line 4.
Oh.
Sydney.
It's Harry.
Everything's set.
Can you see the loft from where you're standing, the circular staircase? Yeah, it's right behind me.
Second step from the top is now conveniently missing its skid tape.
Wait for the right moment, and take your tumble.
Perfect.
Happy landings.
Um can I have everyone's attention? Just a quick toast to all of your hard work in winning this award for us, and to Kyle for providing the inspiration.
How does that toast of yours go? You mean,"semperfi?" That's it,"semperfi".
Semperfi, everyone.
Semper fi.
Semper fi.
Excuse me.
Craig? Where are you going? The party's just starting.
Oh, no, don't tell me you want credit for this campaign, too, even though you had nothing to do with it.
Hey, I'd settle for some credit, period.
I saw you and Kyle sneaking off into your apartment last night.
We watched a movie together.
That's okay I don't need the details.
In fact, I'm getting great at filling in all the blanks by myself.
Take this, Amanda.
Whoa! Call an ambulance.
Somebody call 911! Hey, care careful.
Oh, God, she's bleeding!
Helping him get a job will give him more independence, more meaning to his life.
I know! Shooters.
Considering the boutique is out of business, shouldn't you be thinking about getting yourself a job? Hi, guys! Jake, I don't know if you're aware of it, but my dad's looking for a job.
He'll take any job.
I right this second flashed on Shooters.
He'll take anything you got.
Can I send him around? Sure! Yeah.
I'll call Joe from the road.
We're off to parts unknown.
Destiny is gonna lead us to the perfect place to get married.
Billy: Oh eloping.
That's great.
What what changed your mind? Aw, it's so romantic! You don't even know where! We'll know when we get there.
Get your dad in there sometime this morning.
It won't be a problem.
Thanks, Jake.
Good luck, you guys! Yeah, all the best.
Okay If my dad borrows one of your ties? Yeah.
Oh, thanks.
Sure.
Sydney? What do ya know, small world, huh? How you doing? You of all people should know, seeing as how you're the one responsible for me losing everything that ever meant anything to me.
What, are you following me? You want to see how much I took out of my account just so you can maybe get your greedy paws on some of that, too? You see Sydney, I'm giving you a chance to turn the tables.
Join up with me, and you can be the one to cash in.
Obviously the word fraud doesn't mean anything to you, not to mention prison.
Now, if you'll excuse me, this is my rental car.
I'm just up the street.
The lot on the corner.
You don't mind, do you? Buckle up.
Oh, you're perfect for this, Sydney.
All you gotta do is take a little tumble, and you turn the rest over to me.
We file suit.
I parade in the best expert witnesses Next thing you know, they're showering you with cash.
Nothing is that easy, Mr.
Dean.
Please it's Harry.
What are you doing?! You idiot! This is a rental! I waived the collision insurance! Relax.
I'm just giving you a little preview.
Oh, boy.
Oh, look at this! My God! Weren't you looking where you were going? Oh I pulled something here.
I can feel it.
It's all out of whack.
Oh we gotta report this.
I'm calling the cops.
Wait! Whoa! Guys, come on.
My car took the brunt of it here.
If we get the police involved, my rates go up, your rates go up.
What do you say we just settle it right here, okay? Uh you got a dent, broken tail light.
Back end's pretty messed up.
How about $1,000? You obviously haven't been to a body shop lately.
What about my friend here? Yeah Look, I got my checkbook in the car.
How about 1,500? Why don't we make it an even 2 grand? You got it.
Ha ha ha ha.
How easy was that? Too easy.
Easy has its repercussions.
That's it.
That's the end.
I won't be corrupted.
I would like to talk about this, okay? The ad.
You saw it.
That's what I want to talk to you about.
I don't like it at all.
Well, it can't be the graphics.
I supervised it myself.
And the placement is the best money can buy.
It's who's featured in the artwork.
It's Taylor front and center, holding menus.
This is my place with my name out front.
I see.
It's an issue of ego.
The point is, I never approved this.
I know.
Taylor did, when you were still attached.
I would like this pulled immediately, I would like it pulled and I would like it changed.
Done deal.
I'll get Billy on it right away.
Hmm.
Ha.
Uh look, I'm sorry.
I went to the restaurant today, and everybody was talking about it, and I lost it.
It's no problem.
I wrote the book on misplaced anger.
Since you came all the way out here, how about coffee? Tempting, but I gotta get back to work.
Another time? You know all my haunts.
All right.
Later.
No you keep it.
Keep it.
Matt, I don't wanna see my mother.
This whole idea just sucks.
There's no other choice, okay? You gotta meet with her.
Odds are, once she sees how happy you are here, she'll head back to Europe, and that'll be that.
Just be cool, okay? Just and Be polite.
Be honest.
The boy scout creed, no doubt.
Matt.
Hello, Chelsea.
Oh, Chelsea.
You poor thing.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
You've been through so much, and if I had known, I would have come sooner.
Um I'm fine, actually.
I I really like it here.
I'm sure you do.
Matt's been great.
He's taken on a very difficult task.
I'm not that difficult.
I'm not saying that.
No, you're just saying that you can just waltz in here because you're my mother, and like it doesn't matter that you abandoned me? I don't doubt that your father has told you many things about He stayed, okay? You left! You left.
Chelsea, your father was very angry at me when we broke up.
He didn't understand me.
Well, then it's like father like daughter, because I don't understand you, either.
So why don't you just get out of here? Would you please give me the opportunity to at least tell you that I'm sorry? Just go! Mario! Let's go.
Lunch rush is on the way.
Be right there.
Kyle.
Hi.
Hey.
I know you're busy, but I'm kind of in a desperate situation here.
And while I know I only come to you in desperate situations, this one really is desperate.
I need a job.
An honest job.
I was thinking waitressing.
I've done it before at Shooters, it was mostly burgers and beers and stuff, but I figure if I can do that I can pretty much do anything.
Well, I gotta admit, we could use a little extra help around here.
Oh, uh, great Not again.
Not again! I knew the minute that you lost your boutique, you'd come nosing around here for another job.
I knew it! I take it you don't like the idea.
Hate it.
You're hired, Syd.
Start tonight.
White blouse.
Black pants.
Great.
Um thanks.
You won't be disappointed.
This is tit for tat.
Not at all.
You are doing Peter on a regular basis.
I am hiring somebody I slept with just once.
Oh! That is your crap in the box over there, stuff you left behind.
Ha.
I love that wedding album.
Peter and your sister.
Amazing you kept that hidden from me all these years.
What'd you do, wait till I was out of the apartment, then drool over the pictures of the dashing young Peter? You had no right to go through my things! Nice wedding, too.
Ha.
His dad really rolled out the old carpet for old Dr.
Burns.
It's no wonder they were less than thrilled by your choice of an ex-marine with few if any prospects.
It must have been tough to grow up in the shadow of someone like Beth.
Too bad she's not still around to see how well you turned out.
One of these days, you're gonna choke to death on that sarcasm.
Just so long as after I'm gone you honor my memory the way you have your sister's.
Yeah, I'll crash your funeral and spit on your grave.
You still got a mouth on you, I'll give you that.
Just so you know you'll never be getting close to it again.
I, uh, wanted to get it all packed before the real estate agents moved in.
You have stuff here as well that'll have to go.
Oh, no.
Only if we want it to.
Kimberly's mother called.
The will was read.
Kimberly left us the house.
Yeah.
Apparently she had mortgage insurance, so it's it's ours, free and clear.
And you're suggesting what? That we live here? Well, I mean, move or stay, we're still saddled with the memories.
Come on, Megan.
This is a great place.
Couple of coats of paint, some new furniture we could make it our own.
I don't know.
It's kind of weird.
Oh, come on, Megan! Aren't you tired of of running away? You know, Michael, I'm just not sure that I am that strong.
You are.
Megan, you have to be.
Hey, I'm on a collision course with success here, okay? I mean it may not seem like that right now, but it's in the stars.
And you think that living here has something to do with that? Hey did you ever hear the expression, "go to the top and never look back"? Well, this is phase one of the never look back chapter.
Now, are you with me or against me? Speak now or forever hold your peace.
I'm with you.
You know that I'm always with you.
Oh! Mmm mmm Peter, I'm home.
Great.
Great.
I'll be right out.
Listen, I, um I put a new dress on the bed.
I picked it up on the way home.
Why don't you slip it on, and I'll take you to the Palm for some lobster.
Cool.
So what are you doing home so early? Sydney's working forKyle at the restaurant again.
Can you believe it? I went out for a little air and I never went back.
You sure about this dress? I don't feel very comfortable in it.
No, it's perfect.
You look exactly how I want you to look.
Wait till you see me out of it.
No, no.
Not so fast.
Maybe you should try playing hard to get.
That's it.
Resist me.
Peter, I don't like this.
That's the idea.
Stop! Now quit fighting me.
This is too weird.
Come on.
It's what you want, and you know it.
No! No! Say it.
Stop it! No! Yes.
Oh, yes.
Thanks for the ride, Matt.
You sure you're okay? Yeah.
I feel great, actually.
About everything.
Staying with you it's where I belong.
End of story.
Bye.
Chelsea.
Chelsea, wait.
Let go of me.
Leave me alone.
I understand.
I do.
I know what it's like to be scared to open up your feelings.
If you could just give me a few minutes That's all I need.
I'll be late.
Then just one.
I I can't go back to Europe without you at least knowing how I feel.
How do I say this? I have loved you from the moment you were conceived.
And every moment after that.
I have loved you and missed you and regretted my decision to leave, and I know that by saying that it was the worst mistake of my life isn't going to change things or make this any better.
It's Chelsea, it's It's just that when something like this happens, every day you let go by, you're just that much further away from repairing it.
Y-you better go back to class.
I I'm so sorry for everything.
I am so sorry.
Wait.
Wait, wait, wait.
You have to know this.
When I was little every day, I used to pray that you would come back.
I guess one of your prayers found its way to Europe.
I'm so glad it did.
Oh, honey.
Mom.
My Chelsea.
My Chelsea.
Megan, what are those? Uh, latest volume of memos.
Peter wants me to have 'em ready in time for the board meeting.
I still have to copy and distribute.
Yeah, listen.
You forgot one.
No, I didn't.
What's this? Never mind.
Just make sure he signs it without reading it.
Didn't you tell me that he never reads before signing? "I strongly urge the use of p1000 in all surgical situations" Okay, all right.
If you must know, it's a memo promoting a product that Peter helped develop and owns a piece of.
In other words, any recommendation would be self-serving and a conflict of interest.
See? Once that gets out, they'll toss him out quicker than you can say Whitewater.
And you become the next chief of staff.
Very good.
You're catching on.
This is totally unethical.
Come on.
No.
It's nothing like that.
Think of it as a case of acute mischief.
Are we done yet? I've got surgery.
Oh, here we go.
Great, great, great.
Now, I want full distribution by the time I get back.
Okay? Thanks.
You heard what he said, full distribution.
I hope you guys aren't in a real big hurry.
It could be a day or 2 before I get a new fuel pump.
Well, I think we'll live.
Um there isn't anyplace romantic around here, is there? Well, the motel up in town's got a bit of a reputation.
Satellite TV.
Well, actually, we were looking for a place to get married.
Oh, well couple of days, you'll be back on the road.
That's the best I can promise.
We'd better get rolling.
Well, that's what we get for putting ourselves in the hands of fate.
The only fate is to be together forever.
Exactly.
This is just a bump on the road, not a sign from above.
Even if it was, I guarantee you the gods would be applauding our decision.
I don't care what he said.
The customer is always right.
Sorry to interrupt, but I'm looking for Kyle.
Amanda! Uh, excuse me.
What can I do for you? A little business to discuss.
I'm surprised you'd give me the time of day after my little tirade.
So I thought Billy was taking over the account.
Well, actually, I'm giving you the opportunity to change your mind.
That ad that you hated so much just won a Silva Design Award.
It is the most prestigious award on the West Coast.
No kidding.
We'll both benefit from the exposure.
I'm throwing a cocktail party at the office to celebrate.
It's customary.
And you have to be there.
Mmm.
I'll go you one better.
My, uh, staff and I will cater it for you.
Does that include your mini harem as well? We all have our burdens to bear.
Uh I know I promised, but I couldn't stay away.
Can you come sit down for a second? Yeah, sure.
So how's the first day on the job? It couldn't be better.
'Course, cleaning the rest rooms isn't exactly my first choice of a career.
Kinda smacks of being on the inside, if you know what I mean.
Only you get a paycheck out here.
Well, actually, I asked for cash under the table.
They said that was up to Jake when he gets back.
You guys'll clear it with him, right? Sure.
Of course.
I'm going to the rest room.
Billy, will you order me a white wine? Mmm hmm.
You don't like me very much, do you, son? I don't really know you, Jim.
Well, I sure know you.
And you can be damned sure that I don't like you.
Never had to work a day in your life, have you? That is total crap.
I worked very hard for everything I've gotten.
Except Sam.
She came to you real easy.
Look we love each other.
Then get married.
That's what people in love do.
They tie the knot.
You know after I get enough saved up to get my own place, it might be better if Sam moved in with me for a while.
She's not so old that I still can't tell her what to do.
What if I object? Well, then that would be your tough luck, wouldn't it? Ah.
What a night, huh? I have blisters instead of skin, bunions where I once had toes.
Can't complain about the tips.
Customers like you, Syd.
You got personality.
You like it, too.
You uh eh? A-hee? A-ha? Ahh! Oh, yes What you thought I wouldn't notice you staring at me all night? It was that energy thing.
I wanted to see when it ran out.
Guess I'm like that battery bunny.
I just keep going going and going.
And going and going.
You know I used to dream that someday you'd be free of Taylor and that something would happen to make you open your eyes.
You know why I lost Carter, don't you? No.
He figured out that I'd never really gotten over you.
It's true.
I I haven't.
Syd, I like you.
I really do, but I I'm not ready to be in a relationship with anybody.
Except maybe Amanda, right? Hey, that's not true.
Yeah, right.
You don't know how bad this is, getting rejected for what the third time? Come on, Syd.
It's not you.
You know, my life has just been hell lately, and I guess I was just looking for a little sympathy.
What was I thinking? This did not happen, okay? It did not happen.
Don't be shy.
Come join me! You can't imagine how wonderful this is.
Ever since I passed through to the other side, I'm finally at peace.
Wait.
I haven't passed through, too, have I? No, no, no! You're just dreaming.
I thought it was a good place for us to talk.
You know, Megan, I knew you wouldn't want to stay at the beach house, but that's just silliness.
I I want you to stay.
And I promise not to show up or linger there even as memories.
You have to understand, it's a place that makes Michael happy.
I don't know how to explain it any better than that.
He's just different when he's there.
He's happier, more relaxed.
And there's still some things you need to know about him, Megan.
You have to be careful.
He can be very tough on his wives.
You mean unfaithful? No, no.
I'm talking about his ruthless ambition.
It's bottomless and never fulfilled.
And he drags his wives into the same dangerous morass, usually destroying them before he destroys himself.
Jane went through it.
Sydney twice.
I batted clean-up.
What can I do? What I never could save him from himself.
And your reward will be a solid, happy marriage.
Wait.
I still don't understand.
If you are so happy up here, why are you worried about my marriage? Well, it isn't actually official yet, but I might be your guardian angel.
Right now, you have to go back to bed, because there is nothing Michael enjoys more than to be awakened in the middle of the night for lovemaking.
Oh You okay? Yeah.
Just a dream.
Mmm Oh, there's the expert.
Hey, listen, how many tables do you think I'd need to put in here to seat 16 people for a dinner party? The board's gonna be in town, and I want to have some get-together for them.
What do you think, Wouldn't a restaurant make more sense? Well, it's politically more appropriate to have it here.
Besides, we can make it dressy or sophisticated.
Give you a chance to wear that new dress.
Impossible.
I took it back.
That dress was a gift.
Page 6.
And don't dare tell me it was a coincidence.
Oh, you don't have to look because you know what I'm talking about.
The dress that Beth wore on your honeymoon? The same dress that you keep wanting me to wear? Yeah, Beth was quite an entertainer, too, wasn't she? She'd know how many tables and what to serve.
Oh, yeah! Beth was a regular Martha Stewart.
Well, let me tell you something, Peter, this is sick.
It is demented.
I am not Beth, nor will I ever be Beth.
Is turning me into Beth the only way that you can love me? Is that what's going on here? Talk to me, damn it.
Admit to me that you're trying to turn me into Beth.
Go to Hell! Where are you going? Um I know this is really short notice, but I'm gonna be staying with my mom at her hotel for a few days.
And then we're gonna go to Europe together.
I left you a note.
Chelsea I'm your legal guardian.
Yeah, and she's my mother.
I know.
I didn't think that meant anything either.
But when I thought about it and we talked, I just can't ignore that, even if you have been great to me.
And you have, Matt.
What do you know about her? What do you really know? I know that she loves me, and that she always has.
She's just not the woman that my dad said she was.
You know? And I've got to give her a second chance.
So, thanks, Matt for everything.
It'll be another day until he gets to the fuel pump.
We've already toured this burg, all 2 blocks of it.
What are we gonna do? Well, slow down and we'll talk about it.
I'm restless.
I walk when I'm restless.
Hey, I heard there's a movie theater in town.
It's a drive-in.
You need a car for a drive-in.
Look, I'm sorry things didn't work out.
Will they ever, Jake? Have they ever? Our relationship is like this wall of stumbling blocks.
Even when we don't plan anything, even when we don't have any expectations, things still don't work out.
I can't believe we never saw that.
We walked this street 10 times.
Kismet.
Oh! I'm sorry.
May I help you? Um my fiancé and I were just passing by your church and are you the minister? No.
I'm sorry.
I'm the minister's husband.
I'm the pastor here.
Care Lawford.
Can I help you? Well maybe some other time.
We just happened to be marooned in town, and actually, we were we were looking to get married, but if this is a bad time I'll say.
The pains are 8 minutes apart.
Oh, plenty of time, Tim.
And these 2 look positively desperate.
You uh don't mind the abridged edition, do you? No.
And you love each other, right? Uh yeah, of course.
Then let's get started.
The bottom line, ladies and gentlemen, is that this hospital is running at its most efficient level in years.
Ooh, sorry.
These meetings are open to anyone, I understand.
How are you? Dr.
Michael Mancini, surgeon.
Nice to see you again.
So if there are no further questions or interruptions Um well, have you discussed surgical expenditures yet? We've just finished.
Oh, and no one was just a little bit interested in the P1000? The budget was unanimously approved.
Oh, well, there must be some mistake then.
You see, as chief of staff, Peter, aren't you obligated to disclose all financial holdings? I'm uh give me that, will you? Referring to the memo dated several days ago, recommending the use of the P1000 in all surgical procedures.
Um I know it's in here somewhere.
Michael, no one in this room has any idea what you're talking about.
I personally developed the P1000 and would never recommend its use.
It would be a direct conflict of interest.
Well, I I'm sure I saw a memo.
Well, not from me.
In any case, this meeting is adjourned, and I look forward to seeing all of you tomorrow night at my house for dinner.
Well, almost all of you.
Thank you.
See you tomorrow tonight.
Great, great.
Thank you, Dr.
Burns.
See you tomorrow night.
We'll see ya then.
All right, thank you.
Okay, thank you.
Hi, I'm looking for Dr.
Burns.
I bet you are.
All right, tell me it's not true, tell me you didn't take that memo out of the board members' folders.
Yeah well, it wasn't easy.
I had to track them down individually.
Damn you.
Do you have any idea how stupid I looked at that board meeting? Ranting about some memo which as far as they were concerned didn't exist? What, you actually went to the meeting? Of course.
How else was I supposed to pull the lever on Peter? I had a crisis of conscience, okay? I couldn't do it to Peter.
He's been nothing but supportive of me.
So you screw me, your husband? No, Michael.
I believe in you, that you can get this job on your own.
Oh, good Lord, listen to you.
I thought hookers weren't supposed to have a conscience.
I'm not gonna be your pawn, Michael.
I reinvented myself, and if you're smart, you will do the same thing.
So, Sam, honey, there's something I need to tell you.
I wasn't gonna tell you, but now I can't hold on to it any longer.
Your father your father pretty much threatened me.
It wasn't a hint or some kind of sarcastic remark.
You know, he flat out said he didn't approve of you and me, and the emphasis was definitely on me.
You're exaggerating.
No.
Sam the guy is hiding some things, and I think there's some questions that you need to ask yourself.
Well, why bother when I have you to ask them? He told you not to tell your mom that he's living with us.
Okay? You don't ask why.
He wants to be paid under the table.
You don't lift an eyebrow.
All right? He smiles at you and he threatens me.
Every time he sees a cop he goes cross-eyed.
I mean, the man is definitely hiding something, and you, you just sit there with this kind of guilt-trip denial.
I owe him.
Don't you understand that? He brought me into this world, he sacrificed for me, and I let him down.
So yeah, he's a little bitter and a little angry.
But he is not here to hurt you or me or anyone.
Okay? You just have to trust me on that, Billy.
It's not you I have the trust issue with.
Look, I guess I was wrong.
This whole night is a big mistake.
Just take me home.
Okay.
Amanda! What are you doing here? I assume the same thing that you're doing What did you end up with? Oh um Vintage Brando.
Thrills of a vicarious nature.
Don't ask me why, but the guy still gives me chills.
Well, I'm working on my feminine side.
What? You know what? You've got a very honest laugh.
I never noticed that before.
Well, it doesn't come out much.
At least, not lately.
I I uh I'm actually more in the mood for Brando than I am for Meryl Streep.
Are you trying to get me to invite you over? I've seen your TV, much nicer than mine.
You men are so selfish.
Mm-hmm, and less chatty.
You don't talk during movies, do you? From start to finish.
Hmm.
Hey.
Where did I once hear that this was supposed to be the happiest night of your life? Oh, it was.
It is.
I was just thinking about our baby.
I guess I put it out of my mind.
But when I think about it, all this, you know, the getting in the car and just driving, the truth is I was running away.
I haven't even cried.
And I just woke up feeling so so terribly sad.
So alone.
You'll never be alone again.
I'll always be here, forever.
$2,000.
I'm still not committing to anything.
I have a job.
Forget waitressing.
With you and I working together, we have a chance for a big score.
No more insurance companies or 5 and dime operations.
I'm saying we go after something big, a corporation, something prestigious.
That bitch.
Who, where? Amanda Woodward.
I wait and I wait for that guy and all she has to do is wiggle her butt.
Well, it is a nice butt.
Yeah.
So's his.
Almost belonged to me.
Anyway, as I was saying.
Wait.
That's it.
It's right in front of us.
Big corporation you're looking for? Ever heard of D and D Advertising? Sure.
Big company.
Huge.
You should see all the marble they've got at their offices.
Acres and acres of it.
We wouldn't even need a banana peel.
Mmm.
Why do I feel like this suddenly just got personal? It did.
Amanda owns half the company.
Oh, you naughty little girl.
Only when I have to be.
Oh, whatever you do, don't look at the clock.
I say we just spend the whole day in bed.
With a little luck, they'll never find that fuel pump.
You spoke too soon.
Hang on! Mornin'.
Morning.
Or is it afternoon already? Either way, this is for you.
I'm friends with Pastor Care and her husband.
They had a girl, The pastor, she said that you were newlyweds.
First I've ever had in this place.
Do you believe it? Anyway you two have a good life.
Thank you.
I know, I should've declined it, but No, come on.
It's such a sweet gesture.
I'm so happy right now, one glass of champagne isn't gonna kill me.
How else are we gonna toast our marriage? I don't know, bottled water? Diet soda? Come on, open the bottle.
It'll be our one official wedding thing.
Okay.
If you insist.
Hey.
Hey, hey.
Okay.
To my lovely bride, who I will love with all my heart for all my life.
To my husband, Jake, and no more sadness in our lives.
See? One glass and no more.
It's a cakewalk.
Samantha Reilly? Yes, that's me.
Detective Stevenson, L.
A.
P.
D.
We're looking for your father, Jim Reilly.
Have you seen or spoken to him lately? Why? What's he done? Well, he escaped from prison, Ms.
Reilly, a little over a week ago.
Our leads ran out in Sacramento, and that's why we thought he might end up here.
Well, I haven't seen him.
In years, actually.
And wouldn't this be the last place he would come? Are you aware that it was my testimony that got him put away? Yeah.
Yeah, his own kid.
That's rough.
Well, you uh let us know if he contacts you.
Okay? Certainly, right away.
Good evening, Jesse.
Well, Dr.
Burns, I must say, you are the handsomest chief of staff in ages.
That old Hobbs was such an old stick in the mud.
Did I understand you were seeing someone new? Oh, no.
Just playing the field.
Really? Then who's that? Taylor: Yes, we're both so excited by Peter's success.
If anyone was ever born to a job, it was certainly Peter.
Taylor, sweetheart, could I have a second? Would you excuse us for a minute? Thanks.
So would you like to explain this? I didn't think I'd have to.
Doesn't the dress say it all? Don't you think we should seat our guests? On second thought, why don't you just leave everything to me? You really should stay sober at these things.
Hey, it's not my night.
Kyle's the client of the week, the boy toy of the moment.
There's nothing "boy" aboutKyle.
Mm-hmm.
Canapés? Sydney, what are you doing here? Making an honest living.
Shocking, isn't it? Mm-hmm.
No, thanks.
Uh call for you on line 4.
Oh.
Sydney.
It's Harry.
Everything's set.
Can you see the loft from where you're standing, the circular staircase? Yeah, it's right behind me.
Second step from the top is now conveniently missing its skid tape.
Wait for the right moment, and take your tumble.
Perfect.
Happy landings.
Um can I have everyone's attention? Just a quick toast to all of your hard work in winning this award for us, and to Kyle for providing the inspiration.
How does that toast of yours go? You mean,"semperfi?" That's it,"semperfi".
Semperfi, everyone.
Semper fi.
Semper fi.
Excuse me.
Craig? Where are you going? The party's just starting.
Oh, no, don't tell me you want credit for this campaign, too, even though you had nothing to do with it.
Hey, I'd settle for some credit, period.
I saw you and Kyle sneaking off into your apartment last night.
We watched a movie together.
That's okay I don't need the details.
In fact, I'm getting great at filling in all the blanks by myself.
Take this, Amanda.
Whoa! Call an ambulance.
Somebody call 911! Hey, care careful.
Oh, God, she's bleeding!
