Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990) s10e13 Episode Script
Tainted Love
Check this out.
We get free coffee from the Java guy because he's got a crush on Donna.
Excuse me.
So I have decided that I am going to figure out exactly how much money we're saving.
Did I tell you about the Behr case? Oh, oh, the guy who had his idea about the theme restaurant stolen.
- You said it was a winner.
- It was until he settled.
Well, you'll get another case.
Is Kelly mad at you because I'm working here again? And now he wants his retainer back.
- See? He wants his money.
- Oh, you want me to work.
- Okay.
I'll get the cheque out today.
- I'd like that.
That would be very good.
But the thing is, I don't have the money.
I spent it on Kelly's engagement ring.
- Oh.
Well, that was stupid.
- Gina, you don't understand.
There are rules against this sort of thing, very enforceable rules with suspensions and fines and-- Right, right.
You didn't spend it all, right? - No, I have $700 left.
- See? That's great.
Seven hundred dollars.
Okay.
Out of how much? Fifteen thousand dollars.
Wow.
- Josie.
Hey.
- Hey.
Stay up there with the group.
I got some, uh, business to take care of, okay? [DANCE MUSlC PLAYlNG OVER SPEAKERS.]
Hi.
I'm Josie.
Nice to meet you.
Got a customer.
- Donna.
Hey.
- Hi.
- How you doing? - Good.
Um, I'm doing good.
That's good.
- Who are those people you're with? - Uh, just some friends, some people who showed up, you know? Uh, Kelly's waiting for me, so I should get back.
- Yeah.
See you.
- Bye.
BOTH: Hi.
There's a cute boy at the bar.
- You, my dear, are engaged.
- I know, but you're not.
Nice shirt.
Expensive shoes.
- Maybe doctor, lawyer.
- And I'm happily single.
Well And, from the looks of things, so is Noah.
- Are you really happy? - I think so.
Since Noah and I split up, I've read four books, seen every Alfred Hitchcock movie, Iearned who's running for president, started a new line of sweaters, so Heh, you do have too much time on your hands.
I've realised that every time I am with somebody, I always end up doing what they want and taking on their needs.
I mean, it's not their fault, it's mine.
But right now, I'm just trying to take care of myself.
- Starting to, at least.
Feels good.
WAlTRESS: Ladies.
Oh, you know what? I think there must be a mistake.
- I didn't order champagne.
- Mm-mm.
Compliments from Dylan.
As well as congratulations on your engagement.
Do you think he's really happy for me? You mean, do I think he loves you enough to let you go? I hope so.
- Hey, Nat.
Can I get a coffee to go? NAT: Sure.
I'm glad you're here.
We can ride over to the church together.
- You're awful peppy today.
- No, actually, I'm a little nervous.
I know today's just the rehearsal, but I've never been a part of a baptism before.
There you go.
Coffee to go.
Eggs over easy.
- Ooh! No, we don't have time for that.
- Yeah, well, luckily, we aren't eating it.
You are gonna take this godparent thing seriously, aren't you? Yeah.
You and me linked for life? You bet.
Nice rock.
- Do you wanna talk about this? - No.
Rather just drink my coffee.
Because before Matt and l announced our engagement, you said that you wanted to tell me something, about how things could be different for us.
- Do you wanna tell me now? - I think that would make us late.
Fine.
Hey.
I am here for my mystery fitting.
Perfect.
Let me just grab a measuring tape and a pencil.
What's the deal with you and the coffee guy? I told him I was coming to see you, and he introduced himself and wouldn't let me pay.
Oh.
Mark is just being nice.
Matt and Gina were in line in front of me, and Mark wouldn't let them pay either.
Arms out.
[CHUCKLES.]
Donna, you're single.
He seems like a nice guy.
Am I missing out on something here? No.
I just don't feel like dating anyone right now.
That's why women run the planet.
Because we don't feel like dating someone? No, because you guys are like bears.
You can just hibernate for months at a time.
Even years.
- I'm not gonna wait years.
- But you could, right? That's my point.
Women have all the power.
You can pass up a great guy and just wait forever.
I'm reading a few books, catching up on some movies.
That hardly constitutes forever.
- Arms down.
- Thank you.
I'm not gonna miss out on anyone.
I'm just waiting for like a few weeks, or a month or two.
Whatever you say.
You know, he does make a good cup of coffee, though.
[SlGHS.]
[CHUCKLES.]
The service is fairly simple.
When everyone is gathered, I'll say a few words of welcome, offer a prayer, and then ask Dylan and Kelly to pledge their support to Madeleine throughout her life.
A baptism initiates Madeleine into her spiritual family: the Church, you, Steve, Kelly and Dylan.
And that's it, for the ceremony.
When the ceremony begins, Janet will pass the baby to Dylan, Dylan will give her to me, and I will formally baptise her.
- Any questions? - Yeah.
Are we done? That's it.
- What? - Nothing.
I didn't say anything.
- So we're cool? - Yeah, we're cool.
Thanks.
What? I have an appointment.
He's sorry, I think.
He's gonna do this, right? Not just the ceremony, but he's going to commit to this? Well, he said he would.
We'll see.
This isn't about you guys.
It's about me.
Me being engaged, me committing to Matt, while he and l are committing to Madeleine.
There's a lot of cross-committing going on.
I hope that things get uncrossed before the baptism.
For Madeleine's sake.
- Bye.
- Okay.
Come on.
MATT: Dan, how you doing? Matt.
DAN [OVER PHONE.]
: Matt? The reason I'm calling is, I was just going over some outstanding bills, and I noticed that you still owe me $600 for the work I did on your will.
DAN: That was a couple months ago.
- Yeah, two months.
- That's right.
That's right.
Um-- DAN: Times are tough, you know? Well, times are tough, I know, I know.
But, uh, you know, heh.
I still need that money.
DAN: I'll send you a cheque as soon as I can.
- Well, when will that be? DAN: Uh, next week? Alrighty.
- Is your little helper gone? - Gina's gone home.
- Good.
- Look, I know Gina's hurt you and your family, but I think she's sorry.
Not sorry enough.
- Can you just let it go? - Okay.
We've got the South of France, Caribbean, and Tahiti.
- Kelly.
- Heh.
Personally, Tahiti is my favourite, but it is your honeymoon too, so I guess you get a say.
You know, right now's not really a good time.
- Why? What's wrong? - Nothing.
It's-- I thought we were going small with this.
Yeah, small, small.
- It's our honeymoon.
- Well, Big Sur is small.
San Francisco.
Mount Rushmore.
Heh, you want me to go to South Dakota for my honeymoon? No, I just I wanna stay within a budget on our honeymoon.
And on our wedding.
And in life.
I wanna set a budget, and I just wanna stick to it.
Is that--? Do you think that's even remotely possible? Yes.
I just-- I wanted it to be perfect.
And it will be perfect.
[SlGHS.]
- All right, can we talk about this later? - Sure.
- Matt? - It's okay.
[PHONE RlNGS.]
- Matt Durning.
KENNY: Hi, Matt.
What's up? Hey, Kenny.
Thanks for calling me back.
Listen, it's, uh-- I was actually calling about the outstanding bill you have.
[POP MUSlC PLAYlNG OVER SPEAKERS.]
NOAH: You smell good, Josie.
- Heh.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
- Hey, classy guy.
NOAH: Hmm? Uh, sorry to interrupt anatomy class.
Where's Dylan? Right there.
- Why are you doing that? NOAH: It tastes like strawberries.
Hey.
I'm so glad I found you.
- Hello.
- Have I ever asked you for anything? - What are you talking about? - Have I ever asked you for money? - Gina-- - Every time you've offered me money, I've always turned it down.
Well, I've usually turned it down.
- Yeah.
You're right.
- Am I right? It's just really important to me that you know that I would never, ever ask you for money unless I really needed it.
Well, I know that.
Absolutely.
You do really know that? For sure? Because I need $1 5,000.
- You in trouble? - No, I'm not in trouble.
It's a guy who's been really nice to me.
[SlGHS.]
- Cash or cheque? - Cheque.
So I saw Kelly at the store today.
She seems to be so excited about the baptism.
- Yeah, so she says.
- Ridiculous.
You know, you've made it pretty clear how you feel about, uh, me and Kelly, our involvement in this thing.
I'm not talking about that.
I'm talking about the whole ritual.
People standing above a sweet little baby and making all these promises that they're never gonna keep.
It's mean.
- You okay? - Yeah, I'm fine.
Thanks.
- Such a shame about you.
- How's that? Just that, from afar, you seem like such a catch.
You know? You're cute, you're rich, you're generous.
Why is it that, up close, you have to be such a bastard? Thanks.
[DOOR OPENS.]
Hey.
Watch your step.
Oh, man.
Josie and Shane kept me up most of the night.
You know, Noah, when I said you could crash here, I didn't mean with your whole entourage.
Driving was not an option.
So who are these people? NOAH: It's funny, Donna asked me the same thing.
David, look, I saw Donna at the club, - and she didn't seem so happy.
- She's doing good.
Good.
Good.
- She's not seeing anybody, is she? - She's happy.
Why don't we just leave it at that? Right.
That's cool.
She is seeing somebody, right? I'm gonna take off.
I'll take that as a yes.
You know, Noah, you might wanna take a second and figure out if this is what you really need right now.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
- Good morning.
- Hi.
On Melrose and Fairfax, there's this guy who usually sells flowers.
Apparently, he changed his line of goods.
Yeah, on the morning I really needed a rose.
Um Sorry I snapped at you.
But, uh, please accept this citrus as an apology.
[CHUCKLES.]
Thank you.
I think Mount Rushmore would be great.
It would be good, but I think Tahiti would be even better.
Why do I feel like something terrible is about to happen, and you know what it is, but you won't tell me? Just work stuff.
Nothing terrible.
- You're sure? - No.
[CHUCKLES.]
- I'll talk to you later? - Okay.
- Enjoy that.
- Heh.
Hey.
Breakfast is on me.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- What's going on? - Want some? - Uh, sure.
- Grab some off that.
- Thanks.
Something came for you.
- What did? Right on the computer.
MATT: Hmm - Where'd you get this? - Oh, that? I just, you know, called in a few favours.
Cashed in a few bonds.
- You cashed in a few bonds? - Mm-hm.
Can't accept it, Gina.
Oh, come on.
Don't be such a superhero.
You and l are the only two people in this town who actually appreciate the value of a dollar.
- Well, l, uh, don't know what to say.
- Oh, just say, "Thank you.
' - Oh, you know what you could say? - Hmm? You could say, "No matter what people say about you, Gina, you're really not such a horrible bitch.
' - Thank you.
- All right.
You're welcome.
[SlGHS.]
GlNA: That's cute.
- I wanted to show it to you.
I was hoping you could wear it to the baptism.
Oh, heh.
I'm not going to the baptism.
- Why not? - I can't believe you're asking me that.
You're invited, right? I mean, if Janet and Steve didn't-- No, they actually invited me.
It doesn't have anything to do with that.
Do you really not know what I'm talking about? - Sorry.
Um, this is a little itchy.
- Don't make me come in there.
- Know what? - Your f-- Our father, he was also my godfather.
That doesn't make any sense.
Well, I guess it was his way of trying to, you know, connect with me, but not get too close.
Well, I hope you know I'm not talking to them.
Yeah, I know.
I'm sorry I keep giving you reasons not to.
Heh, this is ridiculous.
[CHUCKLES.]
- I like that on you.
- Yeah? - Thank you.
- It's nice.
I'm gonna go.
Oh, um, thanks for thinking of me with the dress.
Sure.
So, Donna, the coffee guy there gave me a free mocha with extra whipped cream today.
I told you I don't feel like dating right now.
Would you just throw Mark a bone already? Come on.
If you don't date him soon, he's gonna go broke.
- What if it's bad? - So move on.
What if he's one of those guys that, like, Iicks his lips before he kisses you? Okay, you know what? You're being ridiculously nervous right now.
Of course I'm nervous.
I mean, haven't you watched Sex and the City? It's a disaster out there, even if you know what you're doing, which, from my past track record, obviously I don't.
Well, I mean, present company excluded.
You gotta move on, all right? - Why? Is that what Noah's doing? - Would you stop asking about Noah? - Okay? Forget about Noah.
It's over.
- Great.
So he is.
You know what, Donna? I'm gonna go get a refill.
David, don't say anything to Mark about asking me out.
I asked you not to.
Not to what? I got a second cup.
- Hey, Donna.
- Hi.
Oh, heh.
Raisin scone, huh? Do you wanna go out? Hey, hey.
You want French fries, order some.
- I'm watching my cholesterol.
- Just one.
A small one.
So do you, uh? You sure you're okay with this godparenting thing? - Yeah, of course.
- Even though you'll be sharing - the responsibility with Kelly? - Yeah, Steve, I remember.
It's just that, ever since she got engaged, - you've been a little-- - I've been what? I've been fine.
Look, this commitment to Madeleine is a lifelong responsibility.
If you're not up for it, I wanna know about it now.
Steve, I drove up to Ojai a couple weeks ago, okay? I read every book, every pamphlet.
- I went to a rehearsal.
- Yeah, all with an attitude.
Look, I know this whole thing is weird: everybody changing, me married with a kid, Kelly moving on.
- It's-- - Change doesn't bother me, okay? Just get off my back about this thing, man.
I told you I would do it.
That should be enough.
Well, it's not, and you know it.
You blow off the christening or do it halfway, I'll be off your back for good.
[SlGHS.]
Thanks.
- That fish was really good.
- Mm-hm.
I've never had it before.
I'm gonna have to order that again.
Monkfish.
It sounds like something religious, you know? Like the royal order of monkfish.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
That's a great jacket you have on.
Where'd you get it? - It's funny, I don't remember.
- Oh, well, I like it, heh.
- Thanks.
- You know, guys never remember where they get their jackets.
I mean, I guess that makes sense, because, like, girls never remember where they get their bras.
- At least I don't.
- Ha, ha.
My friend Kelly always does, but [CHUCKLES.]
Mm.
Now, that's a fine cup of coffee.
I loved that movie.
Me too.
Can never get enough of that Matt Damon, ha, ha.
- So I've heard.
- Oh, I mean, it's not like he's my type or anything.
Uh-huh.
So you read any good books lately, or? [ROCK MUSlC PLAYlNG OVER SPEAKERS.]
- Dylan, what can I get you? - Nothing.
NOAH: Remember Shane and Josie.
- Yeah.
Hey, charge me for a beer.
Otherwise it wouldn't count as me buying you a drink.
[DYLAN CHUCKLES.]
- Got a sec? - Yeah.
You're the only one I know with cash like that.
Well, Gina said someone was in trouble.
- She didn't say who.
- First of all, I'm not in trouble.
Matt, you could've come to me.
Second, I don't need your help buying things for my girlfriend.
What are you talking about? Forget it.
[STAMMERS.]
Oh, the engagement ring.
- See, that's why you're in trouble.
- No, I am not in trouble.
Got that? You gotta admit, though, either way, it's pretty rich.
I mean, uh, me buying your engagement ring for Kelly.
I gotta go.
Kelly's waiting for me.
Don't you just miss saying that? So, um, about that drink You wanna go someplace else? I got someplace else in mind.
[CHUCKLES.]
Hey.
Anything in that wallet for me? Marcus.
Come up to my office.
I got a cheque for you.
Great.
For the full 1 5,000? Oh, I have 6,000 for you today, and I'll get you the rest next week.
Whose retainer are you dipping into this time? I'll have the money.
Now, come on, let's go up to my office.
- I got bills of my own.
- I'm talking a few days, Marcus.
Come on.
Have I not given you business and personal legal advice off the clock? - I've been a pretty good lawyer to you.
- Yeah, up until now.
Wanna know what I spent the money on? - I don't care what you spent it on.
- An engagement ring.
Look, what you did was wrong, and I resent your trying to make me understand why you did it.
Yeah, I know I'm late.
I waited for 20 minutes, then I went ahead without you.
- Wanna see it? - Yeah.
- It's kind of girly.
- You said you wanted to go in on a gift for Madeleine together, so I picked something.
If you don't like it, get something else.
Come on.
- ls, uh, everything all right? - Yeah.
Well, maybe.
- Is this returnable? - No, it's not, because it has Madeleine's initials engraved in it.
Okay, then do you have any other christening gifts? There's a whole section.
We have baby spoons and picture frames.
It's okay.
I'll show him.
What bothers you more, that I made a decision, or that it's permanent? I just don't like silver.
I would have preferred a, uh, you know, simple gold band, especially on Matt's salary.
- Why are you trying to ruin this? - I'm not, Kel.
Don't you see? I mean, in some passive-aggressive way, I am trying to help you.
Haven't you noticed Matt's acting kind of weird lately? Well, he didn't go in for the kiss good night, but I think it went well.
- Did he say he'd call? - No.
He's Mark the coffee guy.
He's 20 feet away.
[CHUCKLES.]
- What? - Nothing.
I'm listening to your story about your date.
You know, Donna, if this guy doesn't follow through, it's really his loss.
Nobody's losing yet.
Why are you prepping me for the worst? - He made me pay for my iced tea.
- What? He's been comping everyone you know.
All of a sudden, I'm out 1.
95.
- Oh, that's bad.
He made you pay? - Ugh, yeah.
Well, at one point, he did get really quiet.
I just can't remember why.
- Oh - Oh? - How bad? - After dinner, on the way home, we were driving past the movie theatre, and I made a comment about how incredibly sexy I think Bruce Willis is, even with his receding hairline.
Oh, you said--? What are the chances he's secure about going bald? Probably about the same as us ever getting free coffee again.
- Hi.
- Hey.
I was surprised to hear that you'd gone home for lunch.
Well, it's been slow.
I thought I'd work out of the house.
- Want one? - Yeah.
- Saves on dining out too.
- No, no, no.
Hasn't come to that.
- I saw Dylan this morning.
- Dylan? He was talking about my engagement ring.
Guy is such a pal.
I was short of cash.
Gina knew it.
She went to Dylan for a loan, and that's how he knows about it.
I knew I was gonna propose, but l hadn't decided on that particular ring till I got a large retainer from a client.
- And that's how you paid for it? - Yeah.
Is that a problem? The case didn't move ahead, so I didn't do the work, which means [CHUCKLES.]
the money wasn't mine after all.
- How much money do you need? - It's beyond that.
It's an ethics violation.
The client notified the Bar Association.
Now I gotta deal with them first thing tomorrow.
- What are you doing? - Go to that meeting with a cheque.
MATT: No, no, no.
Listen to me.
This ring is from me.
The promise to wear it forever is from you.
A ring doesn't change that promise.
I want to return it.
- No.
- I wanna help you.
Please let me.
[SlGHS.]
- Hi.
Busy day? - It was okay.
DONNA: Oh.
Listen, I was just wondering if you had a good time last night? And I'm only asking because I had a good time, and, well, I don't think you should let one silly remark get in the way of that.
I appreciate your saying that.
Look, I feel like an idiot, and I'm trying to apologise for what I said.
Please don't take it personally.
I think you can understand why that's difficult.
Well, if you thought I was being critical, sure, but I wasn't, so you shouldn't, you know, take it personally, because-- And I completely mean this.
--I find bald men very sexy.
- You think I'm going bald? - No.
Well, aren't you? Whatever gentle recession has occurred has been treated and reversed.
Oh, so then that comment I made about Bruce Willis, ha, ha Smell this.
Well, it's a little strong for my taste, but, heh [SNlFFS.]
Seven months.
- Seven months? - Seven months is how long I lived in Zihuatanejo refining my special blend.
Seven months of tortillas and beans.
Seven months to bring you what I call a peak coffee experience.
But it's a little strong for your tastes.
Oh, ugh.
Last night, I said that someone else's coffee was great.
"Now, that's a fine cup of coffee.
' Right to my face.
Right to my bald face.
You know what? Maybe I didn't get a good whiff.
- Peak coffee experience.
- I'm sure if I just-- Peak.
[ALL CHUCKLlNG.]
Shh! Keep it down, guys.
You're killing me.
Hey, Dylan thinks you're really cute.
Go.
Go.
[CHUCKLES.]
I'm back again.
Want some company? DYLAN: Actually, uh, ahem - That's my brother, Shane.
That's, uh, Mitsy.
Kito.
Alicia.
George.
Hey.
- Whose idea is this? - She's not looking for a ring, man.
Know what I'm saying? [SlGHS.]
Put on something good, will you? [KNOCKlNG ON DOOR.]
Oh.
[ROCK MUSlC PLAYlNG OVER SPEAKERS.]
Hi.
Those look like nice girls.
Are they yours? It's, uh, too weird to explain.
It doesn't matter.
Listen, I wanted to come over and talk to you about something.
Do you remember when I told you I thought the baptism thing was a charade and that they were gonna make a bunch of promises that they wouldn't keep? DYLAN: Mm-hm.
- Yeah, well, I was wrong.
I mean, people definitely make promises they don't keep, but I don't think you should.
You finished? Because l-- You know, I gotta get in there.
I know Noah's gonna get after the macadamia nuts, and they're the kind from Hawaii.
They're expensive, and he'll be-- Can you listen to me for one second? This is really important.
I mean, when I first heard about this thing, remember I was all upset because I didn't want you and Kelly near each other, and I was all worried about, you know, how my godfather let me down? Don't you get it? I was looking at it from the aduIt's point of view.
This isn't about us.
It's about Madeleine.
And I just-- I wanted to give you this.
My godfather gave it to me for my baptism.
And I thought maybe you could give it to Madeleine.
If you want.
You could change her life, you know? Maybe she could change yours.
[CHUCKLES.]
And what I did was wrong, and I know that.
Here it is.
Paid in full.
How do I know this cheque is good? I hawked my girlfriend's engagement ring to get the money.
Thank you, Miss Samus, and the members of the Bar Association, for getting my money back.
- Mr.
Durning, we're not finished here.
- Mr.
Behr got his money.
You violated your oath as an officer of the courts.
- I know that.
It won't happen again.
- I'm recommending that you be suspended from practising law for 30 days.
I'm not the first attorney to put a client's retainer to use.
Which is why we're making an example out of you.
I'm not with a big firm.
If you suspend me, you're gonna kill my practise.
I advise you to tell all of your current clients that you will be out of business for the next 30 days.
Hey.
I don't think you've met Jenna.
She's my replacement.
JENNA & DONNA: Hi.
- You're leaving? - Gotta put time into my other stores.
Oh.
I didn't know business was going that well.
I know this may come as a shock to you, but some people like my coffee.
I like your coffee.
But some people are enthusiastic about it.
You may like it, but you're not enthusiastic.
I can be enthusiastic about it.
I'm an enthusiastic person.
Enthusiasm's my strong suit.
- Donna, I like you.
- I like you too.
- But I love what I do.
- Well, so do l.
And that's why I know how important it is to be with someone that understands that.
- Focus on other things.
- Yeah, and have a good time.
What do you say? - Mark? - I'm sorry, [CHUCKLES.]
but what the hell is David wearing? Guy's like a Muppet in that sweater.
Well, you're the fashion maven.
Save him.
Well, that might be difficult considering the sweater that David is wearing is one that I designed.
Oh.
- So I'll call you sometime? - Whatever.
Well, looks like you patched things up there with the coffee guy.
I don't wanna talk about it.
What do you mean, Donna? It looked like things were going great.
You guys were having a nice conversation.
We're gonna be late for the baptism.
And on the way out, burn that sweater.
NOAH: All right, let's get up, guys.
Come on, man, get up.
Lightweight.
Jeez.
All right, what you're about to see is not for the squeamish.
My man here, Shane Oliver, is gonna snort what's in this glass if the price is right.
Come on, ante up.
Hey, Dylan, you in or out? I'm out.
Man's out.
Come on, let's go.
[SlGHS.]
Where is he? This is not good.
This is not good.
Dylan's irresponsible.
We knew that.
This is our own fault.
The suspension's only for 30 days.
- We will get through this.
- I know.
I know.
But a ring this small is embarrassing.
KELLY: This is not embarrassing.
Stop it.
You know, this is supposed to be a public declaration of our commitment.
When people look at this, they should see nothing but our love for each other.
- And they do.
- Oh, sure.
They also see my screwup.
What they should see is two people willing to help each other.
And if they see anything other than that, then that's their fault.
- You think so? - Mm-hm.
Pastor Neal, Dylan's a no-show.
What do we do? We got back-to-back services all day, so we should go ahead with the baptism.
Dylan's role as godfather can be sorted out later.
You know what? There's nothing to sort out.
Come on, let's start.
Anybody need a godfather? You know, swooping in last-minute really worked in high school, but it doesn't work here.
You wanted me to think about it, Steve.
I thought about it.
And I'm still here.
I'm here for you if you want me.
Hold her tight.
She likes that.
[MADDY CRlES.]
Before we get going, can I say a few words? Oh, go ahead.
It's pretty clear that I wasn't anyone's first choice to be this child's godfather.
My record with some of the women in the room is a little less than stellar.
However, with Madeleine Sosna-Sanders, my slate is a clean one.
And I promise that I will always be there for this little lady.
This was given to me by a little girl who never had a godfather, and probably could've used one.
I'd like Madeleine to have it.
It's beautiful.
Thank you.
All right, let's do it.
[WOMAN PLAYlNG ORGAN.]
Who presents this child for the sacrament of baptism? Her father and I present Madeleine Sosna-Sanders for baptism.
STEVE: It's okay, it's okay.
I baptise you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
BOTH: Amen.
[CHUCKLES.]
Hey.
Let us welcome the newly baptised.
[STEVE & JANET CHUCKLE.]
Hey.
Hi.
I'm sorry.
I thought you'd be at the baptism.
No.
I mean, I was.
- How was it? - It was beautiful.
- That's good.
- Yeah.
- I heard you're staying with David.
- Yeah, you know, it's just temporary.
No, I think that's good.
Staying with David, or getting your own place.
Whichever.
He says you're happy.
Yeah.
David says the same thing about you.
I left my key on the kitchen counter, okay? Thanks.
See you.
Bye.
We get free coffee from the Java guy because he's got a crush on Donna.
Excuse me.
So I have decided that I am going to figure out exactly how much money we're saving.
Did I tell you about the Behr case? Oh, oh, the guy who had his idea about the theme restaurant stolen.
- You said it was a winner.
- It was until he settled.
Well, you'll get another case.
Is Kelly mad at you because I'm working here again? And now he wants his retainer back.
- See? He wants his money.
- Oh, you want me to work.
- Okay.
I'll get the cheque out today.
- I'd like that.
That would be very good.
But the thing is, I don't have the money.
I spent it on Kelly's engagement ring.
- Oh.
Well, that was stupid.
- Gina, you don't understand.
There are rules against this sort of thing, very enforceable rules with suspensions and fines and-- Right, right.
You didn't spend it all, right? - No, I have $700 left.
- See? That's great.
Seven hundred dollars.
Okay.
Out of how much? Fifteen thousand dollars.
Wow.
- Josie.
Hey.
- Hey.
Stay up there with the group.
I got some, uh, business to take care of, okay? [DANCE MUSlC PLAYlNG OVER SPEAKERS.]
Hi.
I'm Josie.
Nice to meet you.
Got a customer.
- Donna.
Hey.
- Hi.
- How you doing? - Good.
Um, I'm doing good.
That's good.
- Who are those people you're with? - Uh, just some friends, some people who showed up, you know? Uh, Kelly's waiting for me, so I should get back.
- Yeah.
See you.
- Bye.
BOTH: Hi.
There's a cute boy at the bar.
- You, my dear, are engaged.
- I know, but you're not.
Nice shirt.
Expensive shoes.
- Maybe doctor, lawyer.
- And I'm happily single.
Well And, from the looks of things, so is Noah.
- Are you really happy? - I think so.
Since Noah and I split up, I've read four books, seen every Alfred Hitchcock movie, Iearned who's running for president, started a new line of sweaters, so Heh, you do have too much time on your hands.
I've realised that every time I am with somebody, I always end up doing what they want and taking on their needs.
I mean, it's not their fault, it's mine.
But right now, I'm just trying to take care of myself.
- Starting to, at least.
Feels good.
WAlTRESS: Ladies.
Oh, you know what? I think there must be a mistake.
- I didn't order champagne.
- Mm-mm.
Compliments from Dylan.
As well as congratulations on your engagement.
Do you think he's really happy for me? You mean, do I think he loves you enough to let you go? I hope so.
- Hey, Nat.
Can I get a coffee to go? NAT: Sure.
I'm glad you're here.
We can ride over to the church together.
- You're awful peppy today.
- No, actually, I'm a little nervous.
I know today's just the rehearsal, but I've never been a part of a baptism before.
There you go.
Coffee to go.
Eggs over easy.
- Ooh! No, we don't have time for that.
- Yeah, well, luckily, we aren't eating it.
You are gonna take this godparent thing seriously, aren't you? Yeah.
You and me linked for life? You bet.
Nice rock.
- Do you wanna talk about this? - No.
Rather just drink my coffee.
Because before Matt and l announced our engagement, you said that you wanted to tell me something, about how things could be different for us.
- Do you wanna tell me now? - I think that would make us late.
Fine.
Hey.
I am here for my mystery fitting.
Perfect.
Let me just grab a measuring tape and a pencil.
What's the deal with you and the coffee guy? I told him I was coming to see you, and he introduced himself and wouldn't let me pay.
Oh.
Mark is just being nice.
Matt and Gina were in line in front of me, and Mark wouldn't let them pay either.
Arms out.
[CHUCKLES.]
Donna, you're single.
He seems like a nice guy.
Am I missing out on something here? No.
I just don't feel like dating anyone right now.
That's why women run the planet.
Because we don't feel like dating someone? No, because you guys are like bears.
You can just hibernate for months at a time.
Even years.
- I'm not gonna wait years.
- But you could, right? That's my point.
Women have all the power.
You can pass up a great guy and just wait forever.
I'm reading a few books, catching up on some movies.
That hardly constitutes forever.
- Arms down.
- Thank you.
I'm not gonna miss out on anyone.
I'm just waiting for like a few weeks, or a month or two.
Whatever you say.
You know, he does make a good cup of coffee, though.
[SlGHS.]
[CHUCKLES.]
The service is fairly simple.
When everyone is gathered, I'll say a few words of welcome, offer a prayer, and then ask Dylan and Kelly to pledge their support to Madeleine throughout her life.
A baptism initiates Madeleine into her spiritual family: the Church, you, Steve, Kelly and Dylan.
And that's it, for the ceremony.
When the ceremony begins, Janet will pass the baby to Dylan, Dylan will give her to me, and I will formally baptise her.
- Any questions? - Yeah.
Are we done? That's it.
- What? - Nothing.
I didn't say anything.
- So we're cool? - Yeah, we're cool.
Thanks.
What? I have an appointment.
He's sorry, I think.
He's gonna do this, right? Not just the ceremony, but he's going to commit to this? Well, he said he would.
We'll see.
This isn't about you guys.
It's about me.
Me being engaged, me committing to Matt, while he and l are committing to Madeleine.
There's a lot of cross-committing going on.
I hope that things get uncrossed before the baptism.
For Madeleine's sake.
- Bye.
- Okay.
Come on.
MATT: Dan, how you doing? Matt.
DAN [OVER PHONE.]
: Matt? The reason I'm calling is, I was just going over some outstanding bills, and I noticed that you still owe me $600 for the work I did on your will.
DAN: That was a couple months ago.
- Yeah, two months.
- That's right.
That's right.
Um-- DAN: Times are tough, you know? Well, times are tough, I know, I know.
But, uh, you know, heh.
I still need that money.
DAN: I'll send you a cheque as soon as I can.
- Well, when will that be? DAN: Uh, next week? Alrighty.
- Is your little helper gone? - Gina's gone home.
- Good.
- Look, I know Gina's hurt you and your family, but I think she's sorry.
Not sorry enough.
- Can you just let it go? - Okay.
We've got the South of France, Caribbean, and Tahiti.
- Kelly.
- Heh.
Personally, Tahiti is my favourite, but it is your honeymoon too, so I guess you get a say.
You know, right now's not really a good time.
- Why? What's wrong? - Nothing.
It's-- I thought we were going small with this.
Yeah, small, small.
- It's our honeymoon.
- Well, Big Sur is small.
San Francisco.
Mount Rushmore.
Heh, you want me to go to South Dakota for my honeymoon? No, I just I wanna stay within a budget on our honeymoon.
And on our wedding.
And in life.
I wanna set a budget, and I just wanna stick to it.
Is that--? Do you think that's even remotely possible? Yes.
I just-- I wanted it to be perfect.
And it will be perfect.
[SlGHS.]
- All right, can we talk about this later? - Sure.
- Matt? - It's okay.
[PHONE RlNGS.]
- Matt Durning.
KENNY: Hi, Matt.
What's up? Hey, Kenny.
Thanks for calling me back.
Listen, it's, uh-- I was actually calling about the outstanding bill you have.
[POP MUSlC PLAYlNG OVER SPEAKERS.]
NOAH: You smell good, Josie.
- Heh.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
- Hey, classy guy.
NOAH: Hmm? Uh, sorry to interrupt anatomy class.
Where's Dylan? Right there.
- Why are you doing that? NOAH: It tastes like strawberries.
Hey.
I'm so glad I found you.
- Hello.
- Have I ever asked you for anything? - What are you talking about? - Have I ever asked you for money? - Gina-- - Every time you've offered me money, I've always turned it down.
Well, I've usually turned it down.
- Yeah.
You're right.
- Am I right? It's just really important to me that you know that I would never, ever ask you for money unless I really needed it.
Well, I know that.
Absolutely.
You do really know that? For sure? Because I need $1 5,000.
- You in trouble? - No, I'm not in trouble.
It's a guy who's been really nice to me.
[SlGHS.]
- Cash or cheque? - Cheque.
So I saw Kelly at the store today.
She seems to be so excited about the baptism.
- Yeah, so she says.
- Ridiculous.
You know, you've made it pretty clear how you feel about, uh, me and Kelly, our involvement in this thing.
I'm not talking about that.
I'm talking about the whole ritual.
People standing above a sweet little baby and making all these promises that they're never gonna keep.
It's mean.
- You okay? - Yeah, I'm fine.
Thanks.
- Such a shame about you.
- How's that? Just that, from afar, you seem like such a catch.
You know? You're cute, you're rich, you're generous.
Why is it that, up close, you have to be such a bastard? Thanks.
[DOOR OPENS.]
Hey.
Watch your step.
Oh, man.
Josie and Shane kept me up most of the night.
You know, Noah, when I said you could crash here, I didn't mean with your whole entourage.
Driving was not an option.
So who are these people? NOAH: It's funny, Donna asked me the same thing.
David, look, I saw Donna at the club, - and she didn't seem so happy.
- She's doing good.
Good.
Good.
- She's not seeing anybody, is she? - She's happy.
Why don't we just leave it at that? Right.
That's cool.
She is seeing somebody, right? I'm gonna take off.
I'll take that as a yes.
You know, Noah, you might wanna take a second and figure out if this is what you really need right now.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
- Good morning.
- Hi.
On Melrose and Fairfax, there's this guy who usually sells flowers.
Apparently, he changed his line of goods.
Yeah, on the morning I really needed a rose.
Um Sorry I snapped at you.
But, uh, please accept this citrus as an apology.
[CHUCKLES.]
Thank you.
I think Mount Rushmore would be great.
It would be good, but I think Tahiti would be even better.
Why do I feel like something terrible is about to happen, and you know what it is, but you won't tell me? Just work stuff.
Nothing terrible.
- You're sure? - No.
[CHUCKLES.]
- I'll talk to you later? - Okay.
- Enjoy that.
- Heh.
Hey.
Breakfast is on me.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- What's going on? - Want some? - Uh, sure.
- Grab some off that.
- Thanks.
Something came for you.
- What did? Right on the computer.
MATT: Hmm - Where'd you get this? - Oh, that? I just, you know, called in a few favours.
Cashed in a few bonds.
- You cashed in a few bonds? - Mm-hm.
Can't accept it, Gina.
Oh, come on.
Don't be such a superhero.
You and l are the only two people in this town who actually appreciate the value of a dollar.
- Well, l, uh, don't know what to say.
- Oh, just say, "Thank you.
' - Oh, you know what you could say? - Hmm? You could say, "No matter what people say about you, Gina, you're really not such a horrible bitch.
' - Thank you.
- All right.
You're welcome.
[SlGHS.]
GlNA: That's cute.
- I wanted to show it to you.
I was hoping you could wear it to the baptism.
Oh, heh.
I'm not going to the baptism.
- Why not? - I can't believe you're asking me that.
You're invited, right? I mean, if Janet and Steve didn't-- No, they actually invited me.
It doesn't have anything to do with that.
Do you really not know what I'm talking about? - Sorry.
Um, this is a little itchy.
- Don't make me come in there.
- Know what? - Your f-- Our father, he was also my godfather.
That doesn't make any sense.
Well, I guess it was his way of trying to, you know, connect with me, but not get too close.
Well, I hope you know I'm not talking to them.
Yeah, I know.
I'm sorry I keep giving you reasons not to.
Heh, this is ridiculous.
[CHUCKLES.]
- I like that on you.
- Yeah? - Thank you.
- It's nice.
I'm gonna go.
Oh, um, thanks for thinking of me with the dress.
Sure.
So, Donna, the coffee guy there gave me a free mocha with extra whipped cream today.
I told you I don't feel like dating right now.
Would you just throw Mark a bone already? Come on.
If you don't date him soon, he's gonna go broke.
- What if it's bad? - So move on.
What if he's one of those guys that, like, Iicks his lips before he kisses you? Okay, you know what? You're being ridiculously nervous right now.
Of course I'm nervous.
I mean, haven't you watched Sex and the City? It's a disaster out there, even if you know what you're doing, which, from my past track record, obviously I don't.
Well, I mean, present company excluded.
You gotta move on, all right? - Why? Is that what Noah's doing? - Would you stop asking about Noah? - Okay? Forget about Noah.
It's over.
- Great.
So he is.
You know what, Donna? I'm gonna go get a refill.
David, don't say anything to Mark about asking me out.
I asked you not to.
Not to what? I got a second cup.
- Hey, Donna.
- Hi.
Oh, heh.
Raisin scone, huh? Do you wanna go out? Hey, hey.
You want French fries, order some.
- I'm watching my cholesterol.
- Just one.
A small one.
So do you, uh? You sure you're okay with this godparenting thing? - Yeah, of course.
- Even though you'll be sharing - the responsibility with Kelly? - Yeah, Steve, I remember.
It's just that, ever since she got engaged, - you've been a little-- - I've been what? I've been fine.
Look, this commitment to Madeleine is a lifelong responsibility.
If you're not up for it, I wanna know about it now.
Steve, I drove up to Ojai a couple weeks ago, okay? I read every book, every pamphlet.
- I went to a rehearsal.
- Yeah, all with an attitude.
Look, I know this whole thing is weird: everybody changing, me married with a kid, Kelly moving on.
- It's-- - Change doesn't bother me, okay? Just get off my back about this thing, man.
I told you I would do it.
That should be enough.
Well, it's not, and you know it.
You blow off the christening or do it halfway, I'll be off your back for good.
[SlGHS.]
Thanks.
- That fish was really good.
- Mm-hm.
I've never had it before.
I'm gonna have to order that again.
Monkfish.
It sounds like something religious, you know? Like the royal order of monkfish.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
That's a great jacket you have on.
Where'd you get it? - It's funny, I don't remember.
- Oh, well, I like it, heh.
- Thanks.
- You know, guys never remember where they get their jackets.
I mean, I guess that makes sense, because, like, girls never remember where they get their bras.
- At least I don't.
- Ha, ha.
My friend Kelly always does, but [CHUCKLES.]
Mm.
Now, that's a fine cup of coffee.
I loved that movie.
Me too.
Can never get enough of that Matt Damon, ha, ha.
- So I've heard.
- Oh, I mean, it's not like he's my type or anything.
Uh-huh.
So you read any good books lately, or? [ROCK MUSlC PLAYlNG OVER SPEAKERS.]
- Dylan, what can I get you? - Nothing.
NOAH: Remember Shane and Josie.
- Yeah.
Hey, charge me for a beer.
Otherwise it wouldn't count as me buying you a drink.
[DYLAN CHUCKLES.]
- Got a sec? - Yeah.
You're the only one I know with cash like that.
Well, Gina said someone was in trouble.
- She didn't say who.
- First of all, I'm not in trouble.
Matt, you could've come to me.
Second, I don't need your help buying things for my girlfriend.
What are you talking about? Forget it.
[STAMMERS.]
Oh, the engagement ring.
- See, that's why you're in trouble.
- No, I am not in trouble.
Got that? You gotta admit, though, either way, it's pretty rich.
I mean, uh, me buying your engagement ring for Kelly.
I gotta go.
Kelly's waiting for me.
Don't you just miss saying that? So, um, about that drink You wanna go someplace else? I got someplace else in mind.
[CHUCKLES.]
Hey.
Anything in that wallet for me? Marcus.
Come up to my office.
I got a cheque for you.
Great.
For the full 1 5,000? Oh, I have 6,000 for you today, and I'll get you the rest next week.
Whose retainer are you dipping into this time? I'll have the money.
Now, come on, let's go up to my office.
- I got bills of my own.
- I'm talking a few days, Marcus.
Come on.
Have I not given you business and personal legal advice off the clock? - I've been a pretty good lawyer to you.
- Yeah, up until now.
Wanna know what I spent the money on? - I don't care what you spent it on.
- An engagement ring.
Look, what you did was wrong, and I resent your trying to make me understand why you did it.
Yeah, I know I'm late.
I waited for 20 minutes, then I went ahead without you.
- Wanna see it? - Yeah.
- It's kind of girly.
- You said you wanted to go in on a gift for Madeleine together, so I picked something.
If you don't like it, get something else.
Come on.
- ls, uh, everything all right? - Yeah.
Well, maybe.
- Is this returnable? - No, it's not, because it has Madeleine's initials engraved in it.
Okay, then do you have any other christening gifts? There's a whole section.
We have baby spoons and picture frames.
It's okay.
I'll show him.
What bothers you more, that I made a decision, or that it's permanent? I just don't like silver.
I would have preferred a, uh, you know, simple gold band, especially on Matt's salary.
- Why are you trying to ruin this? - I'm not, Kel.
Don't you see? I mean, in some passive-aggressive way, I am trying to help you.
Haven't you noticed Matt's acting kind of weird lately? Well, he didn't go in for the kiss good night, but I think it went well.
- Did he say he'd call? - No.
He's Mark the coffee guy.
He's 20 feet away.
[CHUCKLES.]
- What? - Nothing.
I'm listening to your story about your date.
You know, Donna, if this guy doesn't follow through, it's really his loss.
Nobody's losing yet.
Why are you prepping me for the worst? - He made me pay for my iced tea.
- What? He's been comping everyone you know.
All of a sudden, I'm out 1.
95.
- Oh, that's bad.
He made you pay? - Ugh, yeah.
Well, at one point, he did get really quiet.
I just can't remember why.
- Oh - Oh? - How bad? - After dinner, on the way home, we were driving past the movie theatre, and I made a comment about how incredibly sexy I think Bruce Willis is, even with his receding hairline.
Oh, you said--? What are the chances he's secure about going bald? Probably about the same as us ever getting free coffee again.
- Hi.
- Hey.
I was surprised to hear that you'd gone home for lunch.
Well, it's been slow.
I thought I'd work out of the house.
- Want one? - Yeah.
- Saves on dining out too.
- No, no, no.
Hasn't come to that.
- I saw Dylan this morning.
- Dylan? He was talking about my engagement ring.
Guy is such a pal.
I was short of cash.
Gina knew it.
She went to Dylan for a loan, and that's how he knows about it.
I knew I was gonna propose, but l hadn't decided on that particular ring till I got a large retainer from a client.
- And that's how you paid for it? - Yeah.
Is that a problem? The case didn't move ahead, so I didn't do the work, which means [CHUCKLES.]
the money wasn't mine after all.
- How much money do you need? - It's beyond that.
It's an ethics violation.
The client notified the Bar Association.
Now I gotta deal with them first thing tomorrow.
- What are you doing? - Go to that meeting with a cheque.
MATT: No, no, no.
Listen to me.
This ring is from me.
The promise to wear it forever is from you.
A ring doesn't change that promise.
I want to return it.
- No.
- I wanna help you.
Please let me.
[SlGHS.]
- Hi.
Busy day? - It was okay.
DONNA: Oh.
Listen, I was just wondering if you had a good time last night? And I'm only asking because I had a good time, and, well, I don't think you should let one silly remark get in the way of that.
I appreciate your saying that.
Look, I feel like an idiot, and I'm trying to apologise for what I said.
Please don't take it personally.
I think you can understand why that's difficult.
Well, if you thought I was being critical, sure, but I wasn't, so you shouldn't, you know, take it personally, because-- And I completely mean this.
--I find bald men very sexy.
- You think I'm going bald? - No.
Well, aren't you? Whatever gentle recession has occurred has been treated and reversed.
Oh, so then that comment I made about Bruce Willis, ha, ha Smell this.
Well, it's a little strong for my taste, but, heh [SNlFFS.]
Seven months.
- Seven months? - Seven months is how long I lived in Zihuatanejo refining my special blend.
Seven months of tortillas and beans.
Seven months to bring you what I call a peak coffee experience.
But it's a little strong for your tastes.
Oh, ugh.
Last night, I said that someone else's coffee was great.
"Now, that's a fine cup of coffee.
' Right to my face.
Right to my bald face.
You know what? Maybe I didn't get a good whiff.
- Peak coffee experience.
- I'm sure if I just-- Peak.
[ALL CHUCKLlNG.]
Shh! Keep it down, guys.
You're killing me.
Hey, Dylan thinks you're really cute.
Go.
Go.
[CHUCKLES.]
I'm back again.
Want some company? DYLAN: Actually, uh, ahem - That's my brother, Shane.
That's, uh, Mitsy.
Kito.
Alicia.
George.
Hey.
- Whose idea is this? - She's not looking for a ring, man.
Know what I'm saying? [SlGHS.]
Put on something good, will you? [KNOCKlNG ON DOOR.]
Oh.
[ROCK MUSlC PLAYlNG OVER SPEAKERS.]
Hi.
Those look like nice girls.
Are they yours? It's, uh, too weird to explain.
It doesn't matter.
Listen, I wanted to come over and talk to you about something.
Do you remember when I told you I thought the baptism thing was a charade and that they were gonna make a bunch of promises that they wouldn't keep? DYLAN: Mm-hm.
- Yeah, well, I was wrong.
I mean, people definitely make promises they don't keep, but I don't think you should.
You finished? Because l-- You know, I gotta get in there.
I know Noah's gonna get after the macadamia nuts, and they're the kind from Hawaii.
They're expensive, and he'll be-- Can you listen to me for one second? This is really important.
I mean, when I first heard about this thing, remember I was all upset because I didn't want you and Kelly near each other, and I was all worried about, you know, how my godfather let me down? Don't you get it? I was looking at it from the aduIt's point of view.
This isn't about us.
It's about Madeleine.
And I just-- I wanted to give you this.
My godfather gave it to me for my baptism.
And I thought maybe you could give it to Madeleine.
If you want.
You could change her life, you know? Maybe she could change yours.
[CHUCKLES.]
And what I did was wrong, and I know that.
Here it is.
Paid in full.
How do I know this cheque is good? I hawked my girlfriend's engagement ring to get the money.
Thank you, Miss Samus, and the members of the Bar Association, for getting my money back.
- Mr.
Durning, we're not finished here.
- Mr.
Behr got his money.
You violated your oath as an officer of the courts.
- I know that.
It won't happen again.
- I'm recommending that you be suspended from practising law for 30 days.
I'm not the first attorney to put a client's retainer to use.
Which is why we're making an example out of you.
I'm not with a big firm.
If you suspend me, you're gonna kill my practise.
I advise you to tell all of your current clients that you will be out of business for the next 30 days.
Hey.
I don't think you've met Jenna.
She's my replacement.
JENNA & DONNA: Hi.
- You're leaving? - Gotta put time into my other stores.
Oh.
I didn't know business was going that well.
I know this may come as a shock to you, but some people like my coffee.
I like your coffee.
But some people are enthusiastic about it.
You may like it, but you're not enthusiastic.
I can be enthusiastic about it.
I'm an enthusiastic person.
Enthusiasm's my strong suit.
- Donna, I like you.
- I like you too.
- But I love what I do.
- Well, so do l.
And that's why I know how important it is to be with someone that understands that.
- Focus on other things.
- Yeah, and have a good time.
What do you say? - Mark? - I'm sorry, [CHUCKLES.]
but what the hell is David wearing? Guy's like a Muppet in that sweater.
Well, you're the fashion maven.
Save him.
Well, that might be difficult considering the sweater that David is wearing is one that I designed.
Oh.
- So I'll call you sometime? - Whatever.
Well, looks like you patched things up there with the coffee guy.
I don't wanna talk about it.
What do you mean, Donna? It looked like things were going great.
You guys were having a nice conversation.
We're gonna be late for the baptism.
And on the way out, burn that sweater.
NOAH: All right, let's get up, guys.
Come on, man, get up.
Lightweight.
Jeez.
All right, what you're about to see is not for the squeamish.
My man here, Shane Oliver, is gonna snort what's in this glass if the price is right.
Come on, ante up.
Hey, Dylan, you in or out? I'm out.
Man's out.
Come on, let's go.
[SlGHS.]
Where is he? This is not good.
This is not good.
Dylan's irresponsible.
We knew that.
This is our own fault.
The suspension's only for 30 days.
- We will get through this.
- I know.
I know.
But a ring this small is embarrassing.
KELLY: This is not embarrassing.
Stop it.
You know, this is supposed to be a public declaration of our commitment.
When people look at this, they should see nothing but our love for each other.
- And they do.
- Oh, sure.
They also see my screwup.
What they should see is two people willing to help each other.
And if they see anything other than that, then that's their fault.
- You think so? - Mm-hm.
Pastor Neal, Dylan's a no-show.
What do we do? We got back-to-back services all day, so we should go ahead with the baptism.
Dylan's role as godfather can be sorted out later.
You know what? There's nothing to sort out.
Come on, let's start.
Anybody need a godfather? You know, swooping in last-minute really worked in high school, but it doesn't work here.
You wanted me to think about it, Steve.
I thought about it.
And I'm still here.
I'm here for you if you want me.
Hold her tight.
She likes that.
[MADDY CRlES.]
Before we get going, can I say a few words? Oh, go ahead.
It's pretty clear that I wasn't anyone's first choice to be this child's godfather.
My record with some of the women in the room is a little less than stellar.
However, with Madeleine Sosna-Sanders, my slate is a clean one.
And I promise that I will always be there for this little lady.
This was given to me by a little girl who never had a godfather, and probably could've used one.
I'd like Madeleine to have it.
It's beautiful.
Thank you.
All right, let's do it.
[WOMAN PLAYlNG ORGAN.]
Who presents this child for the sacrament of baptism? Her father and I present Madeleine Sosna-Sanders for baptism.
STEVE: It's okay, it's okay.
I baptise you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
BOTH: Amen.
[CHUCKLES.]
Hey.
Let us welcome the newly baptised.
[STEVE & JANET CHUCKLE.]
Hey.
Hi.
I'm sorry.
I thought you'd be at the baptism.
No.
I mean, I was.
- How was it? - It was beautiful.
- That's good.
- Yeah.
- I heard you're staying with David.
- Yeah, you know, it's just temporary.
No, I think that's good.
Staying with David, or getting your own place.
Whichever.
He says you're happy.
Yeah.
David says the same thing about you.
I left my key on the kitchen counter, okay? Thanks.
See you.
Bye.
