All language subtitles for Melrose Place - 1x12 - Polluted Affairs.en

OK, good. Good.

All right, big smile.
Big smile, good.

Pull back. One second.

Can we get shots from below?
We gotta see the treads on the shoes.

- How's it going?
- I don't know.

You never know till the end.

I hate to say this,
but I gotta go.

They go crazy when I'm late.

- Don't you just hate paying your dues?
- It's a fact of life.

Who better than an honors student
to answer the phones?

Alison, would you be interested
in doing some freelance work for me?

Research, synopses.
I don't have much in my budget.

I'd love to.

When you're ready for a promotion,
you can say you've got some experience.

- Oh, thanks.
- It's the old girl's network.

We'd better get you back
before some jackass has a coronary

because he missed a phone call.

- ... slides, and he's out.
- Did you see that?

Great thing about baseball,

I can come back in 15 minutes,
same thing's going on.

Yeah, sounds like my life.

- Surprise, surprise...
- Hey.

- What's the score?
- It's five all.

The doctor makes a house call.

Jane's out with Alison.

Almost forgot. This is for you.
Got in my mailbox. Credit card thing

Another rejection.

- How do you know?
- No plastic enclosed.

Excuse me. You wanna pick that up?

How cold. Neatness counts, Jake.

I'm just so dying for that day when
I can take out the little card and say,

- "Let's break it in, boys."
- Forget it, man.

You're lucky.
Those cards are like drugs.

I don't deal well with rejection.

Only one way to deal with rejection.

- Pepperoni and mushroom?
- Cool.

Let's do it up.

Soon I'll be able to say I knew Alison
before she became a big ad exec.

Oh, please, I'm not even close.

This is exactly what I've hoped for
for so long,

I don't know whether
to be excited or terrified.

It's only natural. You know what?
I'm gonna buy celebration drinks.

I wonder, theoretically,
if I could ever afford that dress,

- I'd ever have the courage to wear it.
- I'll wear it once I lose this weight.

Oh, Jane, that's ridiculous.
You're a rail.

I'm serious. I'm five pounds heavier
than I was before I got pregnant.

Can I interest either one of you
in a date Saturday evening?

Santa Monica Marine Center,
this incredible guest lecturer,

a visiting marine biologist
from San Diego.

- What's the topic?
- Nothing too serious.

Just how to save our dying ocean.

There's a petition
if you'd like to sign.

Gives environmentally correct
manufacturers a tax incentive.

- You don't give up, do you?
- It's my passionate nature.

I have this crazy idea that we should
be able to swim in the ocean.

Let me guess, this incredible guest
lecturer, he wouldn't happen to be?

- Keith Gray.
- Alison Parker.

Check us out, Alison. Bring a friend.

I'll do my best.

- Bye, Keith.
- Bye, friend.

- He's so cute.
- He's adorable.

And you know just where to find him.

I just want to know
why I can't get a card.

It said to contact TRW,
and I do that,

and they tell me to write you
for a confidential report? No, wait.

Do you want to go to this
Ocean Alert meeting with me?

- I'm sorry.
- It's OK.

I'm on perpetual hold
with a computerized voice.

Oh, anyway, this is
pretty important stuff.

Yeah, so is driving my cab and making
money now that I'm a bad credit risk.

That's what the credit bureau
is saying.

That's too bad.

Did you know they check
your bank accounts?

If I had money,
why would I need credit?

- Who do they give these cards to?
- Me. I have one.

- Well, how'd you do that?
- I got it when I was in college.

- Said I'd only use it in an emergency.
- Let me guess. You stuck to it.

- Keep it in the proverbial drawer.
- What a waste.

Face it, Billy. You cannot comprehend

the concept
of 19 and a half percent interest.

It is not free money.
You owe it back, plus one-fifth more.

- Yeah, over time.
- Everything catches up to you.

- Go clean the bay.
- Don't take it so hard.

- Hi.
- Hi, what's up? Want a bite?

No, thanks. I'm on break. I gotta go.

But I was thinking about
taking your exercise class.

- That's what they all say.
- No, I'm serious.

I can exercise two weeks
after my miscarriage.

So here I am. Good as new,
just a few pounds to lose.

OK, cool. We'll whip you
into shape in no time.

I'll get my schedule.
First class on the house.

- Thanks.
- Cool.

Take a look at this very closely.
It's Big Sur.

Some of the most gorgeous coastline
in the world.

The wildlife is fantastic.
It's clean and unspoiled.

Dolphins cruise around,
the seals do their thing.

Thanks for coming.

- What do you think?
- It's important stuff.

Of him.

I'm jealous.

Now this is beautiful
downtown Santa Monica Bay.

Looks like something
out of a bad '50s horror movie.

Please, feel free to scream.

Lights.

But nothing's impossible.
If we messed it up, we can clean it up.

It just takes time, energy
and commitment.

Your donations are appreciated.
And thank you very much.

Isn't he great?

- Yeah, you should get involved.
- I'd love to.

- OK, go up there.
- No, I'm shy.

Talk to him about sea otters.

He'd know I'm only going up there
to hit on him.

He's surrounded by girls.
I couldn't get in if I wanted to.

- Come on, I'm forming a human wedge.
- No.

How about some free
promotional material?

- Melrose Avenue, remember?
- Absolutely. You were my high point.

Anyway... I work for an ad agency.
And maybe we could help.

Sounds great.
You have a business card?

No.

That's good.
Business cards are so impersonal.

I prefer something
like an old piece of a napkin.

That way you can pull it out
of your pocket and look at it

and remember where you
were and who you met.

- You have a strange way of thinking.
- I spend a lot of time underwater.

- Remember me?
- Sorry.

Matt Fielding, this is...

Keith Gray.

- Great lecture.
- Thank you.

If you're not doing anything later,
let us take you out for a drink.

- No, thanks. I don't want to intrude.
- No!

- Absolutely... No. You won't. Nothing.
- It's fine.

It sounds great. Let me wrap
things up here. See you in a second.

- Have you always been such an activist?
- Are you kidding?

I'm an ex-surfer bum from Bali,
ex-scuba-diving instructor from Hawaii,

somebody who spent a year
at SeaWorld raking in the bucks.

What happened?

Well, I kept thinking that my kids,
when I get around to having kids,

they won't be able to drink the water
or swim in the ocean

or jump in a rain puddle.

Where I grew up in Wisconsin, I used
to dream about swimming in the ocean.

When I moved here,
I ran to the beach, and there were

these "warning: Contaminated water,
avoid contact" signs up.

You ever been scuba diving?

I don't think I could do that.

- Why not?
- Breathing underwater, it's just...

- It's not natural.
- You get used to it in a minute.

- Trust me.
- Yeah, right.

Trust you. I've known you all of,
what, three hours?

- So take a chance.
- I don't know.

I'll tell you what,

meet me at the Leo Carillo reefs
tomorrow at 10.30, OK?

- I'm not promising anything.
- Hey, neither am I.

You got the equipment down?
Comfortable?

Well, I wouldn't exactly say that.
Oh, I can't believe I'm doing this.

I don't know why I feel so secure
around you.

I've taken grandmothers who've never
let their hair get wet down 100 feet.

- You don't have to worry.
- I'm not worried.

I'm excited.

- Did you try your mask on?
- Yeah.

I'm about to regulate it.

OK, here we go.

Oh, my God, Keith, that was incredible!
It's like an undersea wonderland.

I told you.
I told you, you're a natural.

When I was little,
I fantasized about being a mermaid.

I thought they were the most beautiful,
elegant creatures.

They are.

- Hello.
- Hi. What are you doing?

Trying to fix the answering machine.
It's holding our messages hostage.

If I had a credit card,
I could buy us a new one.

- Where you been all day, anyway?
- Scuba diving with Keith.

Billy, I have had the most intense
24 hours of my life.

You, scuba diving? Can't even get you
in the pool. And who's Keith?

The guy I went to hear lecture
last night.

- Feels like I've known him for weeks.
- Wait, let me get this straight.

You picked up some guy
and spent the day with him?

- I know, it's crazy, isn't it?
- You've only known him 24 hours.

How long does it take, though?
He is amazing, Billy.

Committed, intelligent, sweet,
full of integrity. Great butt.

God, great butt, huh?

And there's this magnetic attraction,
like the kind you only hear about.

Only it's real, you know, it exists.

- It's like we were...
- Made for each other.

Exactly.

- Sounds like a school-girl crush.
- Billy, I know the difference.

The only thing that bothers me

is that I gave him my work number and
home number, and he didn't reciprocate.

- I wonder what that's about.
- It's about being in control.

- I'll get a new phone machine tomorrow.
- Oh, good.

Wouldn't want to miss Keith's messages.

- Are you sure you're OK?
- Billy, I am wonderful.

Jane! Hey, you made it.

Yeah, I thought I would exercise
my lunch hour away.

Cool. You'll be amazed.

The machines and these classes
can create a whole new body

- without the risk of liposuction.
- I read about Madonna lifting weights

and the woman
from Terminator doing pull-ups.

And as a woman, it's great to feel
your body getting stronger.

- We do go through changes.
- This is a pretty advanced class.

Maybe you should start slower
with a stretch class and build up.

This is not prenatal aerobics, remember?

OK, OK, but listen.
I've never had a miscarriage,

but I know how long it takes my body
just to recover from a cold.

Too late. I'm hooked.

OK, just don't overdo it.
My CPR's pretty rusty.

OK, everybody, let's begin.
Head down and back and side and side.

- Good morning.
- I want you to hear something.

Got the answering machine
to cough up the messages.

Hi, this is Mary Smith
for Billy Campbell.

Please call me at 555-9251.
It's Friday. It's 8.30am.

It's Mary Smith again
for Billy Campbell. Are you there?

You're not the only one
with someone new.

- Who is that?
- I don't know.

Might be this beautiful woman
I met at Shooters.

- Must've tracked me down.
- That's great.

Usually on Mondays, I wake up worried
about navigating the week ahead.

But with this opportunity at work
and Keith...

Let me get some coffee before you
start your mantra. Keith, Keith...

Stop it! What I mean is it feels
like they're connected somehow.

Maybe there's a way to bring
Keith's idealism into the ad agency.

Research products that are good
for the environment.

- God, he's created a monster.
- Heard that.

Have a nice day.
Remember to recycle.

Remember to call your mystery woman.

- Mary Smith.
- Hi. This is Billy Campbell.

I was just about to call you.

- So you tracked me down from Shooters?
- I've been tracking you since college.

- Really?
- You bet.

- You see, I work for CCA.
- CCA?

Crest Collection Agency.

Your inquiry to TRW alerted us
to your whereabouts.

Well, I don't understand.
I mean, why are you after me?

It's regarding the student loan
that you defaulted on.

It's payback time, Mr Campbell.

That's why they wouldn't give you
a credit card?

They sent a letter rejecting me,
tell me to call a voice

which tells me to send a letter.
There's a new they, hounding me.

Welcome to the word of computerization.
You don't pay DWP and GTE finds out,

and they tell B of A and S & L
and HMO and AAA

- and half a million other initials.
- What do they expect?

- If I had the money, I'd pay them.
- They're not your parents.

- They'll get their money.
- Why don't they find a bigger fish?

You're a name on a list.
Don't take it personally.

I'll break my answering machine
or get another number.

Do you know how many bikes,
houses even,

I've worked on that have been
repossessed because of debt.

Great, that's her again.
You can talk to her.

- You can charm her. Come on.
- You're losing it, Billy.

- Lucy? Can I bother you for a minute?
- A second.

That sportswear account is a nightmare.
The artwork from Friday is awful.

I have to do some major damage control.

- Maybe this is a bad time then.
- No, no, no. What is it?

- I've become involved with Ocean Alert.
- The environmental group.

Good for you, if you've got time.

I was wondering if we
could help them get sponsorship.

Like Maximum Advantage.
They do handle swimwear.

I'll give it some thought.
Claire, I need my ammunition.

Great. Thanks, Lucy.

- Alison, Keith Gray called for you.
- Really?

- I asked for his number.
- Great.

But he said he'd call back.

Thanks for covering.

I'd love you to stay tonight.
I'm gonna have a bitch of a time

going through all those lousy proofs,
and I could use some help.

- Alison?
- I'm sorry. Absolutely.

Good, we'll order in Chinese
and suffer together.

Great. Bye-bye.

Crest Collection Agency,
would you hold, please?

I'm Bill Campbell.
I'm looking for Mary Smith.

You're looking at her.
I was just calling you.

Harassing's more like it.

Funny, I didn't quite have
this image of you.

Hard to believe there's
a face behind the voice.

Especially one so gorgeous.

And I must be kind of like
file number 887 to you until now.

Anyway, I just came by
to explain myself.

- Can I sit down?
- Oh, please.

How exciting.
I don't usually get drop-ins.

OK, let's see.
You owe $2,000 plus interest.

What else do you have on me?
Blood type, shoe size?

The usual. Loan number 8295B
was due September 1, 1991.

I always meant to pay it back
right after college.

But food and rent are so expensive,
every month's a squeeze.

- So far so good.
- Except for this.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Come on, Mar. Cut me a little slack.
You know, I mean, it's just not fair.

The day I graduate,
the whole economy went in the toilet.

You think this McJob is my nirvana?
I have a Master's in Romantic lit.

I work here to pay the loan
I took out for college

so I wouldn't have to work
in a place like this.

- How ironic.
- The point is,

when you grow up, you get rid
of the fairy dust and adjust.

Of course, Mr Levitt.
I'll see that she gets it.

D & D, may I help you?

- You bet.
- One moment, please. I'll connect you.

- I didn't know where to call you.
- On my way from the lab.

Figured I'd pop in
while you're on that headset.

- My brilliant career.
- Up and coming.

I didn't find toxins in those samples
we collected. You were the charm.

- I'm good for the environment.
- I'll say.

I've got another risk,
if you're up for it.

Tasting my cooking.

Now, that's a scary proposition.

Look, I gotta run.

53 Beach Road, tonight at 7.00, OK?

There's just this work thing
I've got to get out of.

- If you can't, I understand.
- I want to be there.

- Great. I'll see you tonight.
- OK, goodbye.

She's in a status meeting.

Would you please tell her
I can't make it tonight?

- Really?
- Yeah.

I'm not feeling well.
I've got this throat thing.

- I'll let her know.
- Thanks.

So your mystery woman just wanted you
for your money?

I can't understand is how anybody can
pay back a student loan in this economy.

- What am I gonna do?
- Oh, Billy, swallow your pride.

Borrow from your dad,
but don't screw up your credit.

- It'll haunt you the rest of your life.
- You're so responsible.

Yeah, right.

Lucy asked me to stay late tonight,
and I told her I was sick

because I wanted to go out with Keith.
I can't believe I'm doing this.

You're hooked on this guy.

I don't know what it is. When I'm
around him, I find myself saying yes.

- Yeah, I hate him.
- Why?

Because he's too perfect.
And you look too pretty.

Oh, Billy.

- You're gonna sleep with him.
- I don't know.

I don't think so.

What if he asks?

Billy, I have only been with two people
my entire life.

That's right.

The boyfriend from college who
had you in the back seat of your car.

- I so regret telling you that.
- Who else?

Well, I had this graduation fling,
or should I say flop,

with my college professor.

- You did it for a grade?
- No!

He was this brilliant, handsome,

egomaniacal, alcoholic,
womanizing mistake.

Sorry to hear it.

The point is, this is not something
that I do very easily.

Yeah, I kind of figured that.
Look, do me a favor, OK?

I know this guy Keith walks on water,
but don't rely on him.

I'm a guy. I know, OK?

Sometimes we go for the satisfaction
of our desires.

But we don't always think
about the consequences.

- Are you out of your mind?
- Just take it.

Take it!

We have a very odd relationship.

Let's see,
the most scared moment of my life.

I was surfing off of Baja, and I saw
this flash of something in the curl.

Great white shark.

They cruise the surf and come in close
when they hear the sound of paddling.

It's the only time in my life
I ever froze.

I still don't know how I made it
to the beach.

What about you?

What's your most scared moment?

Now.

You're just more honest.

Come here.

You had this all planned, didn't you?

Keith.

This is kind of awkward...

...but I have to ask you
your sexual history.

You're absolutely right. It's reality.

Don't worry. I've been tested.

And I've just come out
of a long-term relationship.

No, I'm telling you that
so that you can feel more secure.

You've probably been
with more people than I have.

Very doubtful.

Then how come you're
such a good kisser?

I guess I just found the right person.

Any more questions?

How do you look in this?

OK, so when you first saw me
on Melrose...

I thought...

..."Can't wait to see
this woman in my shirt."

- Come on!
- I knew we'd be great together.

I was right.

- Tired?
- No. No, I'm invigorated.

It's great to wake up on the ocean,
you know, like you're on the edge.

I got lucky. When Ocean Alert
moved me up here,

one of our contributors
let me have this place.

- You're here for a while though, right?
- As long as the grant holds out.

- OK, when you first saw me...
- Oh, tidal wave.

I thought this guy is just too good
to be true.

I've got work to do.

I've got some storm drains to probe.

And I've got a career to aspire to.

You're coming back tonight.

Here's your shirt.

- You are so evil.
- What?

Alison?

- 'Morning.
- 'Morning.

I wanted to show Alison
the ecologically correct chemicals

I'm now using in the pool
per her instructions yesterday.

- She's not around.
- She left early, huh?

Yeah, real early.
Like about dinner time last night.

Yeah, that's right. Jane mentioned
Mr Wonderful, between sit-ups.

Must be weird having her fly the coop.
I know you're just friends, but still...

It's weirder than I thought.
I'm happy for her.

But it's so sudden.
And I never met the guy.

Green one? Thanks

- Hey, guys.
- Hey, Jake.

Hey, Billy, any luck
with your loan problem?

Hardly. I have visions of credit hit men
locking me away in debtor's prison.

- Is this something you're writing?
- No, I wish.

I got behind in some student loan.
And now they want the whole enchilada.

- Give me a break.
- I have to say, man.

I could not get a medical school loan
because of deadbeats like you.

It forced me into borrowing money
from Jane's parents.

Look, it's not just me.
This debt is a national habit.

Banks, loan companies, collection
officers are all dealers.

It's like, earn more, buy more,
owe more.

It's so seductive.
The whole country's hooked.

The entire country is bankrupt because
people are defaulting on their loans.

And everyone's suffering.

Like my stupid loan has anything
to do with the country's problems.

D & D. Oh, yes, one moment, please.
I'll connect you.

- Congratulations, Alison.
- 'Morning.

- You made it.
- I'm sorry.

- I'm a little bit late.
- You are two hours late.

Claire has been going crazy covering
for you. What about last night?

I would've loved that chance
when I was your age.

- But you just blew it off.
- Sorry.

I told Claire,
I have this throat thing.

Why are you doing this, Alison?

I thought you had your priorities
in order.

Tomorrow morning,
be here an hour early.

Don't you think my boss
was overreacting?

She's just grown to expect you
to be a certain way.

Well, I think she needs to find a guy.

Jane, last night with Keith
was so great.

Why do people falling in love look like
they're carrying a secret?

Well, because it was the first really
great sexual experience of my life.

- God, I never talk about this stuff.
- Go on, you're allowed.

OK, I figure it's so great because
he's the first one I really cared about.

It can be pretty amazing, huh?

I think I finally understand what Meg
Ryan was faking in When Harry Met Sally.

It was the same for Michael and me,
except it took longer.

God, Alison, maybe Keith's the one.

Did you have to be with Michael, like,
all the time?

- Yeah, that's why I married him.
- Oh, God.

I'm not even thinking in those terms.

I think I'm still kind of afraid
I'll turn out like my parents, you know?

I'll settle for what I've got.

Alison, settling for great sex is not
exactly what I call deprivation.

Oh, God, I'm certainly not
depriving myself.

- So there I was...
- Oh, you bought it!

- I whipped out the old credit card.
- Good for you.

Jane, you haven't even touched
your food. Are you feeling OK?

No, I'm feeling perfect.

I'm getting into this fitness routine,
and exercise makes you less hungry.

- Isn't it supposed to be the other way?
- Oh, I don't know. Back to Keith...

- Let me hear your Meg Ryan imitation.
- Oh, God.

Oh, hi, Mom.

Billy! What a nice surprise.

What are you doing here?

- Where's Dad?
- Well, he's out to lunch.

I'm just here for the day
doing the books.

It's probably better I talk
to you anyway.

Listen...

What is it, Billy?

I need to borrow some money
to pay back my college loan.

College loan?
But we paid for your college.

Yeah, the thing is, I took out this
state loan for personal expenses.

I wasted it, OK? You know,
I bought some skis, a stereo.

I had some great dates, some bad dates.

You didn't.

My friends have these nothing jobs
to pay for these things.

I was working for the school paper.
I didn't get paid.

I was just trying to further my career.

- How much?
- It's two grand plus interest.

And they're after me big time,
and I just don't want to be a deadbeat.

Keith! I left early...

I don't wanna go over this again.

We have to stop doing this
to each other.

Me, selfish? You're the one who spends
her entire life out of town.

Well, you should have thought of that
before you took the damn job.

I gotta go. I gotta go.

Who was that? Your old relationship?

Alison...

That was my wife.

- Alison, please listen to me.
- No! I am completely humiliated!

- I don't really have a marriage.
- Are you divorced?

- No.
- Separated?

My wife's a lobbyist in D.C.
We're rarely on the same coast.

We had a strong friendship based on
shared ideals, but there was no passion.

- I'm someone to sleep with?
- With you, I've found everything.

In her bed! God, I can't believe
I fell for this.

My marriage was history
before I ever met you.

I've only seen Lily twice
in the last four months.

- Lily.
- It's dead, Alison.

Neither my wife nor I wants to be
the first one to admit it.

And now?

You made me realize I can't waste
another day living this way.

Why didn't you tell me before?

It all happened so fast.

- I was terrified of losing you.
- You were right.

Here, let me give you my number.

No.

Goodbye.

You'd be surprised how therapeutic
hot chocolate can be.

Some people like whipped cream on top.
It's purer but can go sour.

Thanks.

Chocolate's the substitute for love.
Drink it.

Drink it? I should drown myself in it.

- You never liked him, did you?
- I never met him.

Although I was a little thrown
by your hero worship.

God, what a fool.

I just completely lost myself.

It's scary even, you know? I mean,

when I was with Keith,
it was like nothing else mattered.

Everything else seemed... hollow.

Like I feel now.

You're gonna get over him.

All I know is I'm still crazy about him.

And I'm afraid he's the only man
I'll ever feel this way about.

You wanna meet me at
the hospital cafeteria for dinner?

It's Italian night.
Fabulous institutional lasagna.

- I've lost the weight.
- It's what you wanted.

I never saw the need but...

Honey?

Honey, are you OK?

I've been almost obsessed
about losing these pounds.

I thought it was just something
you had to do.

Then why do I still feel so sad?

You lose the baby weight,

but that doesn't mean
you'll lose the memories.

I mean, I'm still overreacting,
snapping at people...

- No, you?
- And your body is still recovering.

Medical reality. You're a human being.

It just drove me crazy when people
would say that it takes time

- to get over the miscarriage.
- And they were right.

And that's what we've got,
a whole lifetime together.

Will you marry me?

'Morning.

'Morning.

No offence, but you
kind of look terrible.

I didn't sleep at all night last night.

I'm sorry.

Where are you off to so early?

I have my own little disaster
to take care of.

Which I've been too self-absorbed
to ask about.

It's OK. I talked to my mom yesterday.
That was no answer.

God, I thought for sure
they'd come through for you.

I'm turning out to be a lousy
judge of people.

Yeah, I said no to her offer
of a loan.

Billy, there's a time to maintain
your pride and there's a time to grovel.

Yeah, look, I know this is bad timing,

but I've been thinking about
moving back home to save money.

Oh, Billy, no.

You know what?
I have a temporary solution.

- What?
- You could borrow from my credit card.

- You said that was for emergencies.
- Well, this is an emergency.

Thanks, but I gotta get
through this on my own.

And besides, 19 and a half
percent interest is total larceny.

I'd be in debt for the rest of my life.

- See you later.
- Bye.

You think that'll be OK, don't you?
Oh, yeah. I think it will, absolutely.

Can I call you right back?
OK, thanks.

Well, I didn't think I'd see you again.

Yeah, well, we got off
on the wrong foot.

Collection agents and debtors
don't have warm relationships.

Well, I'm here to change that.

You're cute, but I only go after
deadbeats professionally.

No, I meant maybe we could work out
some sort of payment plan.

Oh, yeah. We're amenable to that.

You didn't let me get
to the installment contingencies.

- So you do that sort of thing?
- We're not out to ruin your life.

We just want to get our money,
you know, any way we can.

- I may have to get a second job.
- Yeah, it probably won't kill you.

Listen, I'll run some numbers here,
and I'll give you a call.

You're gonna read my first book someday,
and the jacket's gonna read:

"Writer Campbell supported himself very
responsibly as a cab driver and a..."

I'll start the paperwork.

Lucy?

Alison. What's with you?

I though you were gonna be here at 7.30.

- I know, I just... I completely spaced.
- Spaced?

- What the hell has happened to you?
- I'm so sorry. I...

I've been having these really
intense personal problems and...

Oh, well, sit down.

I was seeing this guy, and I just...

I got totally consumed,
and it got messy, and...

It's over now.

Alison, it's fine to be passionate
and all wound up in your love life,

but I gotta tell you something:

That keeps people your age stuck behind
that reception desk for a long time.

Well, can I make it up?
I mean, I can stay late tonight.

In fact, it would be kind of nice
to stay late every night.

- Excuse me. This fax is urgent.
- Thanks.

No, that's for Alison.

- Now I'm secretary and receptionist.
- I'm sorry.

Keith. It doesn't sound over to me.

I don't know.

He's so incredible, but he's also...

I just hope he's worth it.

I've been calling all day.

I don't know
what I'm doing here. I just...

I couldn't stop thinking about you.

And I don't know what to do.

Neither do I.

Keith, I can't break up a marriage.

Trust me.

It's all gonna work out.
