Melrose Place s06e08 Episode Script

1 You got no money You don't buy me no diamond rings I don't worry 'bout it Cause I love it when you shake that thing Got no rhythm, and, baby, you can't sing It don't matter much Wow, Amanda, you look really down.
Somebody late with their rent check? I'm not up for sparring right now, Jennifer.
Would you look at this place? We are a hit.
Busiest week we've had since we opened up.
It's all due to you.
You believed in this place and in the two of us.
Hey, you all right? Yeah, I guess.
I think I better just go home.
Hmm.
Something is going on.
I think that you and I should have a talk.
So, what's wrong? You look like the whole world's crashed down around you.
I don't know if I can talk about this right now.
You know, if it's about the fight that we had last night No, no.
I mean, well, yes, in a way.
I saw Eric, and you were right.
He's obsessed or something.
He did take the Boston restaurant.
And he is trying to take this place and Kyle's and anything else you have because what he really wants is me.
He told you this? Yeah.
I mean, I pulled it out of him, but he got all crazy, and he thinks that he and I belong together.
And if that isn't gonna happen, everything in your life and everything in my life is scorched earth.
Hey.
Don't worry, I know a little bit about scorched earth myself.
And I don't like to be threatened.
He won't get away with it.
I won't let him.
As a matter of fact, I'm gonna wake my lawyer up right now and get him on this.
Hey.
What are you doing listening in on our private conversation? What's private about my restaurant being ripped out of my hands, huh? When were you gonna tell me, when they were throwing me out the back door? Nothing's happened yet, and we're handling it, so keep your nose out.
Oh, is that so? Don't think I don't know what's going on here.
You and your New York boyfriend are working together to take everything away from Kyle and me.
Pure Amanda Woodward.
Taylor, shut up.
I nailed it, didn't I? Fact is, you don't love anyone but yourself, least of all Kyle.
He'll always be mine, Amanda.
You don't deserve him.
God, you're so predictable.
Here's a fact.
Stay out of my business and stay away from Kyle or you will regret it.
No doubt about it You put it where it's supposed to be So you've come to the decision Gonna try your luck again Yeah, you make the most of this one Only you can be the one to stop the rain There are times we're broke and battered There are times we fall from grace These days Lexi, you don't have to knock.
I gave you a key.
You live here now.
No, it's not Lexi, Peter.
It's Lexi's ex-husband.
Look, I wanted to catch you before we got to the office.
Thought it would be good be for us to air things out.
I don't want to be rude at all, but what's going on between Lexi and me, it's really none of your business.
You really think that? Yeah, I do.
Oh, well, I think you're right.
I think it's fine that you're sleeping with her.
I mean, hey, we're partners, right? Share, share alike.
Coop, this isn't about sharing.
Is there anything else? Nothing I can think of.
Just wanted to make sure everything was fine between us.
Didn't want our personal lives intruding at the office, okay? Sure.
Seems fine to me.
Great.
See you around, Pete.
Well, look who's moving in.
You take every dime I've got in the property settlement, and then you shack up with the guy who double-crossed me.
How cozy can you get? What are you doing here? I was just checking in on the new doctor in your life.
He's very, uh, what's the word? Gallant.
He doesn't know about you yet, does he? Please get out of my way and leave me alone.
You know, it's amazing.
I mean, you've known this guy, what, a couple of weeks? And you've already got him to give you free room and board, and you got him to steal my financial records for you.
You really got a hold on this man.
You are an incredibly vile human being, you know that? Maybe.
See ya.
Do you notice a difference? I mean, everything seems, like, I don't know, charged.
We're getting married.
I can't believe it.
I mean, just a couple years ago I was going around telling everybody I was never getting married.
It's too late.
You said yes.
You're stuck with me.
I can't imagine anything better in the whole wide world.
But we got to figure out what we're gonna do.
I was thinking about a little chapel, like the one we saw in Santa Barbara with a limited guest list.
Although it would be great to fly my mother out.
Yeah, maybe.
Maybe, I think we have to have a little reality check here.
We have no money.
At least, very little anyway.
I gave my whole life savings to your father, you know, and the flights back East No, you're right.
God, listen to me.
It sounds like I'm expecting you to pay for everything.
I just got excited.
It's okay to be excited.
I'm ecstatic, okay? I just get a little nervous about money.
Think it's a habit I got from my father.
Thanks, Billy.
Mmm.
Michael: It's simple, Craig.
Jennifer's as important to this company as you are.
Nobody said she wasn't.
He's right, Michael.
Then why is your office bigger than hers, huh? The way it's set up, it looks like she's your secretary.
It doesn't matter.
Once the company takes off, we'll get a bigger space.
Here's another thing.
What's your name doing first? The invention that started this company is mine.
There are two Mancinis involved and only one Field.
All right, fine.
I don't care if you call it Mikey's Play Pen.
But stop wasting time and busting my chops so we can get this business set up.
Listen to me Hold it, both of you.
Now, as one of the Mancinis, I say it stays Field/Mancini, and for being so understanding, Michael, we got a little present for you.
I hope you like it, it was my idea.
Yeah, that's, uh, that's nice, thanks.
But what I'd really like is some orders for this thing.
Right.
That's why you and I are going to the medical supplies sales convention together.
You will demonstrate, and I will sell.
Uh, hello.
I'm chief of staff of a major metropolitan hospital.
I don't do huckstering.
You do.
Take Jennifer.
She'll help.
Just make sure you make some money.
And, uh, thanks for this, this thing.
And I'll see you when you get back with orders.
How could you stand growing up with him? I couldn't, but he left before I could kill him.
Megan: From what you told me before, Eric, the bid for the Denver plant shouldn't go in until next week, right? I mean, those orders go into a seasonal slump and then we come in, right? It's a good catch, Megan.
You're picking this up very quickly.
Taylor.
I'm here to see your boss or whatever he is.
Mr.
Baines, Taylor McBride.
I've seen you upstairs at the jazz club.
Uh-huh, I remember.
And what can I do for you? I'd like to be blunt, all right? You're either working with Amanda Woodward to wreck my life or you have some ding on her, my ex-husband, or both.
I don't really give a rat's patootie what's going on.
I would like you to keep your mitts off of my restaurant.
I have worked day and night to keep that place above the cigar and sushi joints.
It is my life, my dream, and I will not have some New York nobody come in and take it from me.
You've got spirit.
How nice for you.
But now let me be blunt.
I'm taking it, and there's nothing you can do about it.
But why? Why hurt an innocent person like me because you have some sick thing for Amanda Woodward? This is business, Ms.
McBride, and I really don't give a, uh, "rat's patootie" if your life, hope, and dreams are destroyed.
I like the property, and I'm taking it.
Megan, could you please show Ms.
McBride out? I can't believe you're sleeping with that sick piece of dirt.
You really are just a whore, aren't you? I work for him.
There's nothing sexual going on.
And if anyone is a whore around here, it's the woman who slept with my husband behind my back.
Bye.
Peter: Michael! Afternoon, Peter.
Your new invention.
You must be very proud.
Yes, I am.
You know, back at our offices, it's fine to drop in.
But here at the hospital, I am chief of staff.
It's, it's best to make an appointment.
I see.
Well, let me go over this with you, Dr.
Mancini.
I've been very patient with you because we made a deal that you would take this job over until your hands are better, and then you'd give it back to me.
Yeah, but you know, my fingers are still awfully tender.
Also without consulting me you bring in a new partner who is becoming very troublesome, so once again your actions are directly causing me a lot of stress.
You know, Coop's on my nerves too, old buddy.
And honestly, if I could give you back your position here, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
But the hands You see that? I told you.
I told you my hands weren't better.
But because of this lack of trust between us, you destroy a precious keepsake of mine.
I don't know what to say, Peter.
Try saying nothing, Michael.
Because one day very soon I'm gonna kick your butt out of here, and when I get the chief of staff job back, your life is gonna be very unpleasant.
Oh, yes, yes, I know, I know.
But now if you'll excuse me, I have to go on rounds.
Oh, my Jesus! God! Craig: Revolutionary is the ability to keep doing your surgery and just simply move your pinky down to the area to be cauterized.
No bulky instruments and wires.
It's all preset.
I don't know.
I'm not sure there's really any need for this.
Doctor, you order this for your hospital, and the surgeons on your staff will thank you forever.
I'm a surgeon, I've never had any trouble with the old cauterizer, so.
So, thanks anyway, Mr.
Field.
Doctors, wait.
If I was your patient, my life in your hands, I would want you to be as comfortable as possible, and to be able to move quickly and react to anything that was going on in my body.
You were the surgeon, correct? Yes, but I don't Try on the glove.
Now, say you were doing an operation on my shoulder and you needed to cauterize something.
Here.
All you would need to do is to touch there, leaving your fingers free to do whatever they needed to do.
You know, I've done some surgery, too.
You know, you can try on the glove next.
Let's talk about orders.
Blues on a sunny day Amanda, are you moonlighting as a waitress? Um, not really.
Just making sure people are having a good time.
Are you? Oh, fabulous time, actually.
I'd like you to meet a friend of mine.
Amanda Woodward, this is Lexi Sterling.
Lexi and I are, um well, I guess we can be open about this, huh? We're seeing each other.
Well, how nice for both of you.
Enjoy yourselves tonight.
Rumors are flying around that the club's in some sort of financial danger.
Something to do with the guy that financed you, may even go after your ad agency.
You know, that's too bad really.
You should have taken the money that I offered.
Thanks for your concern, but we'll be fine.
Lexi, nice to meet you.
Yes, nice to meet you, too.
What was that little display about, Peter? That was my ex-wife.
I didn't mean to embarrass you.
I couldn't help myself.
Lexi, hey.
I'm not the one who should be embarrassed, am I? Excuse me.
I said I was sorry.
Let go.
I'll be right back.
Just need a minute.
My lawyer thinks he's got a way to stop this.
He's gonna get into it tomorrow.
I'm afraid tomorrow's too late, my friend.
I just finished buying the building.
You have 30 days to vacate.
This is just sick.
This isn't over yet, so get out.
Oh, it's definitely over.
See, usually I have minions deliver these notices, but this one I wanted to enjoy myself.
Ah, suppose it'll be almost impossible to start over again now that you've put out all this money.
You're dead.
Get out of here! Whatever you say.
Night all.
Sun is shining so bright So how come it's hard in my eyes? Blues on a sunny day What a big surprise Blues on a sunny Morning.
How are you feeling? Ok, I guess.
Oh, thanks for the coffee.
I want to apologize again for the way I acted with Amanda last night.
Forget it.
Exes make you crazy.
Believe me, I know.
Besides I was good company when I came back last night, hm? The best.
Last night made me realize that I've always been kind of a private guy.
And I think that hurts things when it comes to getting close to a woman.
I mean, I'm still not telling the two-faced scum on the outside world anything, but you and I, we can be open books with each other.
What do you say? Sure.
Yeah, fine, yeah.
Look, my life, especially recently, has been hard to describe, to say the least.
But I'm willing to give it a try if you are.
Right now? Sure.
Why not? Huh.
Okay.
I'll be right back.
I certainly have nothing to hide.
It's really early and it better be good.
Did you talk to the lawyer? Yeah, but it doesn't make a difference.
Baines came back to the club last night after you left.
He pulled it off.
He bought the place outright.
Land, leases, building The whole shot.
We've got 30 days to vacate.
It's over, and, uh, I'm sorry.
You're sorry.
Oh, I see.
Well, you know where this comes from, don't you? That fountainhead of misery herself, Amanda Woodward.
That make-pretend tough girl that you brought into our lives.
You know what, Kyle? You've got to dump her because she is the only reason that this has happened.
I mean, come on, wake up.
Look at the two of us.
We are the partners.
We are the ones that know how to run this kind of business.
I mean, for God's sakes, cut off that lying deadweight and come back to me.
You know, come back before she destroys you.
You know what? I am miserable enough already, Taylor.
I don't need you to overdo it.
I am gonna go to the lawyer.
I'm gonna see if I can't at least get a delay.
You know, if there's anything positive that comes out of all this, it's that I won't have to be in business with you anymore.
Those of us in radiology feel it's important that the chief of staff review the oncology patients weekly.
Things can change so rapidly.
As you can see, this brain tumor patient: Quite advanced.
Wait a second.
Hey, this looks familiar.
Whose Kimberly Shaw, huh? Kimberly Shaw.
Is this your idea of a joke? I I don't know what you're talking about.
My dead wife, you ninny.
Tell me you didn't know she worked here! What do you think I am, stupid? I swear to God, Doctor! I just picked up the film from oncology.
I'll be damned! Hey there, fiancée.
Look what I've come up with on my lunch hour.
Now, I'm not a dress designer or anything, but I thought that I would have somebody make my idea of what I would look good in.
Yeah, I guess.
Yeah.
You don't know if Jim Rutter called, do you? No.
I don't get this.
We had a confirmed lunch date, and then I end up sitting there at some frou-frou Thai place he wanted to eat at, he doesn't show.
I try to get him on the phone, he won't get on.
This guy's one of my most solid clients.
Oh.
Well, maybe it was crossed wires.
That'd be nice, but I don't think so.
Honey, if I were you I'd work up some more of those cheese snack drawings and spend less time on that stuff.
Well, if you call yourself hospital security, then the place should be secure, right? Look listen, all I know is someone is messing with me there big time! And I want it stopped! Michael.
Oh, my God! Megan, I wish you would have knocked or something.
Well, I didn't have a chance before you rocketed out of your chair.
Look, I came by to pick up my last paycheck.
Are you all right? Yeah.
I'm fine.
I'm fine.
I'm just a little jumpy is all.
Things are getting a little spooky around here.
Why, what's going on? Weird stuff, Kimberly stuff.
Someone at the hospital is trying to push me over the edge.
And I don't know who or why.
Kimberly stuff? Oh, yeah, yeah, literally.
Her lab coat showed up in the chief of staff's office.
Her x-ray showed up in Radiology.
I mean, this is really too weird.
Look, I'm sorry.
That's, that's terrible.
I wish there was something I could do to help.
No.
No, no.
It's all right.
I'll figure it out.
Look, your check's in the top drawer in reception.
Thanks.
Oh, Megan.
Don't forget your package.
Oh, no, it's not mine.
I guess it's for you.
It was just I found it out front on my way in, by the door.
Wh That wasn't mailed.
Well, wait a second.
There's no return address.
Come on, Michael.
What could it possibly be? Oh, my God.
It's Kimberly's wedding dress! What? Oh Oh Hey, this isn't you, is it, huh? Some twisted way to get back at me? Come on, of course not.
Okay, so, we took everything Kimberly's mother didn't take, including this and put it in storage, right? You know, all those boxes, remember? Yeah, but I haven't been back there.
Yeah, neither have I.
But we're going back.
Tonight.
What's happening here? Not much.
As you can see, we shut the place down for the night.
Well, I don't know how smart that is.
With being run out of business and all the debts we have, we could use all the money we can get.
I don't care.
I don't care at all.
I just wanted an evening for the two of us.
We'll have some drinks, a bite to eat, appreciate the music, and we will appreciate each other 'cause in the end, that's all that matters.
Anyway, that's all I'm gonna have.
You're a very unusual man.
Maybe.
You know, I just I've been trying to understand what's going on here, Amanda, and I need to know from you that it's you and me and nobody else.
No one even comes close, you know that.
I love you in that big, over-the-edge, deep, dark way, okay? Okay.
No matter what happens, we stick together.
Nothing and nobody Nobody tears up apart.
Deal.
Let's dance.
'Cause it's getting late How late does the band stay? About another half-hour.
Good.
I want to get to that appreciating each other part.
To cry is a waste Instead I'll put myself to bed And dream There it is.
B5.
Oh, my God, it looks like someone went at it with a crowbar.
Oh.
The light's out.
My God, it's empty.
Let's get out of here.
No, no, wait a second, wait a second.
Hey.
What's this? Oh, no.
No.
There's only one person.
She's back.
Kimberly's back.
Come on, stop it, Michael, look.
I saw her dying.
You saw her in the coffin.
She's dead.
No.
She's come back from the dead before.
Oh, come on, don't talk like that.
It has to be someone else.
It has to.
Then who? Who would do this to me? Mmm, what a beautiful day.
Be nice to go out on a boat on a morning like this.
You ever think about getting a sailboat or a yacht like that one over there? No, not really.
Sounds like a different way of going broke to me.
Don't be such a stick in the mud.
We'll use my money.
Sorry to interrupt the lives of the rich and famous, but it's time you cop to the sick creep you've turned into, Peter.
Michael, I have stopped trying to understand your ravings for a long time now, so unless you can be clearer, would you just please leave us alone? I'd be glad to when you stop trying to make me crack.
Oh, man.
You'd do anything to get that chief of staff job back, wouldn't you? Yeah, I was up all night thinking about it, and everything points to you.
Planting Kimberly's lab coat, the x-rays.
But breaking into that storage locker, that was way over the top.
One, I didn't do any of these things, and two, I will get my job back by having the board kick your butt out.
No matter what you say, you're still my number one suspect.
Who else hates me as much as you do? I'm sure there's an entire raft of candidates.
Michael, listen to me, there's something else I didn't tell you.
I'm sorry I couldn't, but Lexi and I kind of had to go undercover.
Coop knew Kimberly.
What? Kimberly was his patient back in Cleveland.
They had a relationship, an affair.
When? After the accident? I guess so.
She had a head injury and was in a coma for a while.
Jeez, my God, but why would he Look, if these things are happening the way you say, why don't you go to the police? No.
I don't think we should get the police involved in this.
Yeah.
Peter's right.
I need to do this myself.
Man, why didn't you tell me about this before? All right, all right.
I'm gonna take care of this.
I'm gonna talk to him.
Well, as best as I can tell from the sketch, I would say this wedding dress would run you about $2,500.
You've got to be kidding me.
Um, that does seem like an awful lot of money.
Maybe if we made some adjustments.
I could maybe bring it down a hundred or two, but with material of any quality It really is too much, isn't it? Sam.
You know, we do have some very nice dresses on our racks.
They're not custom, but pretty.
Ok, I guess I can take a look.
For God's sake.
You know what? Just get the dress made.
'Cause you're not gonna be happy otherwise.
Billy, what is going on? I told you what's going on.
Okay? We are having financial problems.
I know it doesn't seem like it, but we are.
Okay? Everybody's in denial around here.
You, Amanda, you know? Hey, if she wants to bury her head in the sand and you want to splurge on some dress, fine.
I just wish somebody would take me seriously.
I take you seriously, Billy.
Look, we can forget about the dress.
It's not that important.
As a matter of fact, we can put the wedding off until you feel more secure, all right? I did not say that.
You didn't have to.
I'll cancel the invitations, and I'll see you at home.
Coop, I've been looking for you.
Is that right? And what can I do for you? Well, it's a little complicated really.
You see, I found out that you were having an affair with Kimberly Shaw back in Cleveland when she was engaged to me and I was being told she was dead.
Funny that you forgot to mention that to me.
Wasn't any of your business.
Oh, is that right? Well, I guess you made it my business when you started throwing all this Kimberly junk at me.
Now, what's that about, huh? Look, I don't know what you're talking about, so leave me alone.
Oh, the hell I will.
I want to now why you're doing this.
I want to know why you're here in the first place.
And what are you doing with Kimberly's stuff and why are you after me? Huh? What are you, psycho or something? Hey, I haven't done anything to you, but God, I sure wish I was.
You know why? Because I loved Kimberly.
I loved her more than any other woman in my life, and she told me what you put her through, and I knew when she came back to LA, you wouldn't be satisfied until she was dead.
You know what? You're out of your mind, buddy.
You cheated on her! Hey! You lied to her! Hey! You ruined her life! Back off, man! Why should I, huh? You killed Kimberly.
You might as well have taken a gun and shot her.
And I will always hate you for that.
Get away from me! Security! And that's why I'm here, Michael.
That's why I'm here.
This guy is nuts! Get him out of here! Turn him over to the cops.
You'll be sorry you ever messed with me, coop.
Look, why don't you come upstairs and talk to me while I work.
It'll just take a couple seconds, honest.
Okay, but then I really got to get back.
It's yours.
Oh, my gosh.
Uh, no, I can't.
The money for the orders is coming in, and we're suddenly doing really well.
And if anybody deserves a reward for that, it's you.
Come on, sit in the driver's seat.
I mean, you got to admit, it's a beautiful piece of machinery.
It's the most gorgeous hunk of metal I've ever seen.
Are you sure you can afford this? Positive.
You have made me a very happy woman.
Now I've got to break it in.
Wait a minute now.
You can't be driving around town.
I mean, you got to go back to work.
Who said anything about driving? Hi.
Megan, um, sorry to interrupt your party, but I need to see Eric.
Oh.
Henry.
Amanda, what a pleasant surprise.
What can I do for you? I need to see you alone.
Always happy to oblige that request.
Here.
Listen, I'll be right back, all right? Keep them drinking, okay? It'll keep our price up.
First, what are all those ad execs doing in there? Those are my competitors.
Right you are, and all of them would just love to acquire your little agency and its client list.
What? Yeah.
It's kind of like what we did to Sky High.
Remember them? You got to stop this.
No, no, no.
It's way too much fun.
There is one thing you could do to maybe, uh, straighten things out.
Fine.
Tell me what you want.
Well, since you won't leave your boyfriend for me, I thought of a rather pleasant little compromise.
I drop all this, my ruining the agency, the club, the restaurant, everything if you sleep with me once.
One night with me, and you get your life back.
Now, now you have got to admit, that's a rather generous offer.
Are you out of your mind? All of this trouble 'cause you want to get in the sack with me? Well, as a matter of fact, yes.
See, I've been thinking about this, and I figured out what was really bothering me.
You're the only woman that's ever said no to me, and I can't live with that somehow.
I don't know.
It's some sort of conquest thing, I guess.
The answer will always be no, no way in hell, you pathetic piece of garbage.
Oh, sorry to interrupt.
Um, the guests are getting a little antsy.
That's all right.
That's all right.
Our business here is done anyway.
You bet it is.
You know what? You seem like an intelligent woman.
I don't know what you're doing with this loser.
What's she talking about? She won't sleep with me.
I've offered to stop all this for one little roll in the hay, but no dice.
So I guess we better get out there and chop up Amanda's agency.
Nice, huh? Have a good time.
You know, I thought I'd found the lowest form of human being in my former life, but you know what, mister? You have found a whole new depth.
Oh, come on, in her shoes, you would do it in a second, wouldn't you? Oh, like hell I would.
I quit.
Lexi: Oh, so where are you off to? To spend the day with your friend Eric plotting the death of my restaurant? No, I don't work for Eric anymore, so if you'll excuse me.
Oh, how come? He get tired of you and throw you out of bed? For your information, I never slept with Eric.
The only woman he wants in bed is Amanda.
He would give up the world for one night with her.
And guess what? She would never do it.
So you can kiss your restaurant good-bye.
Now, I personally I hope you end up in the gutter.
I have accepted it, but at the same time, I can't believe it's happening.
Everything that you and I have worked for and dreamed about all these years is finally coming true, and now some complete lunatic is ripping us to shreds simply because he can.
Let's not talk about it right now.
There's nothing we can do about it anyway.
No, no, see, that's the point.
There's got to be something.
Some, some weakness in him that we can exploit.
There's got to be some way to figure this guy out.
Well, there isn't.
He's a sick human being, and I wish to God I'd never met the bastard.
Look, I'm sorry.
I just I want to fight back.
We can't.
He won.
We lost.
Get used to it.
What a surprise.
You come to bail me out? Mmm.
No, not really.
I wanted to talk to you about this problem with Michael.
Well, it's simple.
You get him to drop the assault charges so that I can get out of here, and that might start solving the problem that you started by spilling about Kimberly in the first place.
No, Coop, I didn't, okay.
And I don't know who did.
But this stuff you've been doing is really weird.
I know you cared about Kimberly, but pretending she's back from the dead Megan, I didn't do anything.
I mean, yeah, I smashed Michael in the face, but I mean, come on, tell me you haven't wanted to do that a few times recently.
If you're not doing it, who is? It's, uh it's impossible to know, really.
But you get him to drop the charges, and I'll help you guys figure it out, I promise.
Uh, why can't your lawyer bail you out? Oh, well, that would be easy if I had any cash or property, but my ex just finished completely fleecing me, and now my one partner is sleeping with her.
And the other partner is the one who put me in here in the first place.
God, I wish I'd never come to LA.
Look, um, I'll talk to Michael, but, uh, I wouldn't count on anything.
Yeah.
Well, thanks for all your help.
Guard.
You ready to go back to your cell? I need to make a phone call first.
All right.
You got 10 minutes.
Yeah, Palm West Hotel? Can I have Miss Marion Shaw's room, please? Well, when did she check out? I see.
All right, thanks.
Hey.
Sam, listen.
Billy, where have you been? I've been calling everywhere.
I mean, we have to talk.
Yeah.
I've been doing some thinking.
Uh, and I went on an errand.
Actually, the errand was part of the thinking.
I went back to the dress shop, and the lady is gonna make your dress.
I put a down payment on it.
No, no.
You see, that's just it.
I don't want you to do something out of guilt.
It seems that everybody around here manipulates people to get what they want.
And I don't want to do that.
Honey, I want you to have the dress, okay? I want I want our wedding to be the start of a new life for us, okay? So I have to start taking risks for that life.
You know, if I stop believing in the world, then that bleeds over, and I stop believing in us.
I can't let that happen anymore.
I want more than anything in the world for you to be my wife.
Not sometime in the future when we might be more secure or we might not be, but now.
Okay.
Are you sure we can afford it? I told you, I don't care.
Michael: You have got to be out of your mind.
Why in God's name would I drop the charges against that lunatic? Coop has cut all ties with the sane world and joined poor, dead Kimberly in the land of the cuckoo.
I don't think he did it, Michael.
Excuse me? But I have a very clear image of his fist hitting the side of my head.
No.
I'm talking about the crazy stuff, okay? I talked to him at the county jail today, and he said he had nothing to do with it.
And I think I believe him.
What is this, the Friends of Coop Club? Peter says no cops, you say let him go.
Well, here's the news, okay? No.
End of story.
Mancini here.
Woman: Michael.
Who is this? I'm at the beach house.
Come home.
I'm not taking this anymore.
Wait, wait, wait, where are you going? Beach house.
No, I'll come with you.
No.
I'm gonna settle this once and for all myself.
Amanda, I hate to bother you, but we have something important to discuss.
Oh, I doubt it.
I'm on my way to see Kyle.
I figured that.
That's exactly what we need to talk about.
Take a couple of minutes.
Okay, spit it out.
Okay, I'm just gonna put it right out on the table.
If Eric Baines is going to drop all of this for one roll in the hay with you, then for God sakes get off your high horse and do him before we all lose everything.
I mean, this is my restaurant we're talking about here.
How did you find out about this? It doesn't matter.
I know.
I mean, you didn't really think that Megan was gonna keep your big secret, did you? I mean, she doesn't owe you anything.
But please, I am begging you.
Just haul this guys ashes for me, and if not for me, for Kyle.
It is important.
This is really none of your business.
Oh, get over yourself.
Tell me you didn't sleep with someone when you had to on the way up.
What is one more? I am telling you to drop it, Taylor.
No, I won't.
Because this is my life we're talking about and Kyle's.
This club is his heart and soul, and it means everything to him.
I know that.
Oh, but I forgot.
You're too incredibly selfish to think about him.
Well, if you don't do it, I'm gonna tell him all about it.
Don't you threaten me.
Uh, Kyle hates when people keep secrets from him, especially secrets about sex.
You listen to me, you silly bitch, you say one word to Kyle and I will hunt you down and tear you to shreds.
Kimberly?
