[Crickets chirping]

Mommy?

Mommy?

Mommy?

We're gonna be late!

(Jan) That's the plan!

Really?
And why is that?

Because we're young,
beautiful women

with high-paying jobs
living in the greatest
city in the world.

People should wait for us.

[Jan moaning]

How did you get hot water?

I let the super buy me coffee.

I didn't wear a bra.

[Chuckling]

Have you ever had
any relationship
with a man

that wasn't based on
sexuality and manipulation?

Holly, that's the reason
that men were put
on this earth.

To make life easier
for beautiful women.

Oh!

He fixed the oven light
and the window
in the living room.

(jan)
So, do you think
we can still be roommates

if one of us gets promoted?

I don't think
it'll be a problem.

As long as it's me
who gets promoted.

[Cell phone ringing]

Hey.

Yeah, I'm gonna
have to work late.
We're just leaving now.

Red.

The Lacy ones.

[Giggling]
You play your cards right,

maybe I'll stop by
after the party.

Ok. Me, too.

So when do I get to meet him?

Not until
I'm absolutely certain
there's nothing he can do

to make life easier for you.

Oh, come on, holly.
I was only kidding.

Don't be so sensitive.

¶[Music playing]

[People chattering]

(Woman ♪1) Give a little smile.

(Woman ♪2) Right this way.

(Woman ♪3) Good times.

Um, champagne.

Champagne.
Yes.

2 champagnes, please.
Thank you.

Ladies.

Mr. foster,
the new collection
looks unbelievable.

The clothes sold themselves.
The press loves you.

Thank you.
If you'll excuse me.

So, where's the new client,
Mr. rifkin?

David kray. He's opening up
a new restaurant in midtown

and he's hired simpkins
to do his p.R.

They seem to be doing
an excellent job

hiding him from the press
rather than promoting him.

Now, you 2 innocent,
lovely young things

will be doing him a great favor

by stealing him
from simpkins' incompetence.

Say no more.

Holly, just, um,
so there's not
a misunderstanding,

I want this promotion.
So do I.

Which is why I just want

to be upfront about everything.

We're gonna land
the restaurant account
together

but David kray
is going to give me
the credit for it.

By the time I'm done with him,

he'll be writing me
a letter of recommendation.

You fuck him, then you fuck me?

It's not personal, holly.

It is to me.

You're not gonna fuck David,

and you're certainly
not gonna fuck me.

We'll see.
We will.

(Both)
Are you having a good time?

I'm doing fine, thanks.

Holly Parker.
Nice to meet you.

Jan lambert.

David kray.

So, I hear that
you're opening up

a new restaurant
in a couple of weeks.

Leonard rifkin's a-team.

And my backup.

What's the name
of your restaurant?
Zucca's.

Hmm. Elegant. Understated.

Intriguing.

Like the owner, I'm sure.

So this is your party?

Uh, our company represents
Mr. foster. Fashion designer.

Did you enjoy his show?

Well, I...

I don't know that much
about fashion, but...

I didn't like it, either.

I'd love to see
your new restaurant.

We'd both love to see it.

Well, I could, uh,

maybe arrange a tour sometime.

Tomorrow afternoon?
Let's do it tonight.

Tonight?

No time like the present.

[People chattering]

(Holly) It's perfect.

You've done an amazing job.

This is beautiful.

(Jan) I love the bar.

Great ambience.

Well, I wanted it
to be timeless,
you know?

No gimmicks.

Just a place you go
for a special occasion.

We'll arrange
a press preview
on opening night.

An a-list crowd that will
attract photographers.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
wait a minute.

I already have a contract
with a p.R. Firm.

You deserve so much more
than they're giving you,
David.

You deserve the best.

Let us help you.

Don't let all your hard work
go to waste.

Simpkins isn't holding up
their end of the deal.
Why should you?

What if I told you
we could set up
a press preview

for you by Friday?

You could get the press
in here by Friday night?

Print and electronic.

You have my personal guarantee.

Your restaurant
will open with a bang.

You're on.

[Siren wailing]

How'd I do?

You were great.

I believe a proper
thank you is in order.

I could hardly keep
my hands off you
in the restaurant.

[Chuckling]
It's too late
for sweet talk.

I saw the way
you looked at jan.

Visions of a threesome
dancing in that pretty
little head of yours.

Oh, I think I've got
all I can handle right here.

But I don't think
jan is the type to take
losing very lightly.

Yeah, she'll go postal
if she finds out about us.

Only because
she didn't think
of staging a new client

for herself.

Gonna be a very
disappointing night
for you

if you don't stop
talking about jan.

Who?
That's my man.

[Both panting]

[Cell phone ringing]

[Grunting]

It's jan.
Yeah?

Probably wondering
why you didn't
come home last night.

I'm a big girl.

I spend the occasional
night out.

Yeah. With who?

[Horns honking]

Jealously is so not sexy.

Yeah, well,
I just want to make sure

that the girl
I'm falling in love with
feels the same way about me.

You know I do.

Oh, yeah? Then say it.

[Cell phone ringing]

Hello?

I'm sorry.
I looked for you
before I left.

They specifically asked for me?

(David) You're not serious.

After all the effort
to set this up,

you're gonna miss
the first event?

Come on, holly.
You should be there.

It's a press preview, David.

A few reporters lob
softball questions your way,

and then write
that you're a great guy.

Even jan can take care of that.

I thought the point
was we didn't want jan
taking care of it.

I don't.

But jan said rifkin
asked for me to handle
the meeting personally.

It's a big hotel account
in Chicago.

She wasn't very happy about it.

Neither am I.

It's a big opportunity.

If I can land this
and your restaurant,

game over.

Bigger and better.

It's one night.

And I've made it very clear

there's no one bigger
or better in my world.

I will personally
handle every detail
of opening night.

I promise.

I love you.

I'll call you.

And the art was something
that, uh, basically I'd seen

in a... in a picture in college
and it really inspired me,

and the whole restaurant
kind of fell in place
after that.

How long have you
been working on zucca?

Um, basically, the place
has been a dream of mine
since I was in college.

I wanted a place
that was elegant,
but understated,

and, uh, intriguing.

What's next on the horizon?

(Woman)
Do you plan
on opening any more?

[Phone ringing]

(David on answering machine)
Hi, this is David.
Please leave a message.

Hey, it's me.
Finally made it.

My flight was
almost 2 hours late.

How'd the press preview go?
Call me with the details.

I'm sure they loved you.

[Beeping]

I do.

You were very impressive
today, Mr. kray.

I was, wasn't I?
You were.

To you.

To you.

You did a great job.

Thank you.

To us.

[Rain pattering]

[People chattering]

Hi.

Hi. Checking in.
My name's holly Parker.

I'm sorry, miss Parker.
There's no reservation
under your name.

Uh, it's probably under
p.Y.K. Public relations.

[People chattering]

Sorry.
Nothing there, either.

It was made through
your public relations office.

I flew up to see
your hotel manager.

Mr. roth is away
on holiday in Europe
until the end of next week.

[Dialing]

Here you go.

Jan?

You set me up.
Back so soon?

You made a huge
fucking mistake.

Did you really think
I didn't know

that you were sleeping
with him?

I thought we agreed
that sexual manipulation
was my specialty.

Holly!

I honestly didn't mean
for this to happen.

"Didn't mean
for this to happen?"

You don't fuck someone
by accident, David!

Listen...

I was drunk,
and you'd run off to Chicago,
and the press event went...

[exclaiming]

You were drunk?

Such a prick!
Holly! Don't!

Don't what?
Don't believe your roommate

when she sends you
on a bullshit meeting
out of town?

Don't trust your lying,
cheating boyfriend

not to screw around
while you're away?

Don't throw away
any chance of a relationship

for a quick fuck?

It wasn't that quick.

[Shattering]

Please, holly.
I made a mistake.

You both did.

And you're both
gonna pay for it.

[Door opening]

[Door banging shut]

[Siren wailing]

[Horns honking]

[People chattering]

Hey, holly.
How was Chicago?

Bring me the morning paper.
And hold my calls.

[Knock on door]

(Lacey) You ok?

I will be.

So, do you know c.P.R.?

¶[Music playing]

Sacred orifice! My band!

We rehearse every Tuesday
and Thursday!

And on the weekends!

We're about to get
a record deal!

Hi, you must be holly.
Hi.

It's nice to meet you.

Thanks for letting me stop by.

Oh, I have a couple
good applicants already,

but you sounded
so desperate on the phone.

Oh, is it that obvious?

Come on back.

You don't play in a band,
do you?

No.

What do you do?
I'm in p.R.

Oh, that must be fun.
Well, most of the time.

But I'll bet you get
a whole lot more satisfaction

out of your job.

My mother was a nurse,
so I sort of fell into it.

She always said,

"there's nothing
more rewarding
than helping people."

Wow.

This is beautiful.

How long have you lived here?

(Tess) 6 years.

There's mostly
really old people
in the building.

You hardly ever see anyone.

It's like I have
the whole place to myself.

I can't believe
anyone would ever
leave this place.

What happened
to your last roommate?

New boyfriend.

When the right man comes along,

it's like old friendships
never existed.

She left without paying
last month's rent.

I'm sorry.
It's history.

Do you have a boyfriend?

Not anymore.

I caught him cheating on me

with my roommate
in our apartment

after she sent me
on a fake business trip
out of town.

You work with her?

I have to face her
every morning.

Until I get my promotion.
Then I'm gonna fire her.

I would have killed her.

I've thought about that.

But I'm more angry with him.

I just thought
there was something
special about him.

That maybe I loved him.

It's just so humiliating
when you love someone

who sleeps with your roommate.

I'm sorry. That is
way too much information.

I am so sorry.
Don't be.

This is your room.

My room?

You need an apartment
and a friend.

You can move in
whenever you want.

Oh, thank you so much!

I will be the best roommate
you've ever had.

And I promise never to sleep
with your boyfriend.

No matter how cute he may be.

[Both chuckling]

[Birds chirping]

[Horns honking]

[Thudding]

Whoa! Be careful!

There goes their tip.

[People chattering]

[Both grunting]

What have you got in here,
a dead body?

I used to move around a lot
when I was a kid.

Everything I ever needed
was in here.

Now it's mostly
filled with junk

I can't bring myself
to get rid of.

Was your dad in the military
or something?

I never really knew my dad.

He left before I was born.

So it was just
you and your mom?

Until I was 7.

Then she got remarried

and there was a house full
of evil stepsisters?

Something like that.

(Tess)
It's the 3rd one.
Not too far.

(Holly) Ok.

Ok. Here we are.

[Both sighing]

It'll be safe down here.

(Holly) Is this all your stuff?

Yeah.

[Lock clanking]
Awful, isn't it?

Please don't tell everybody
what a pack rat I am.

(Tess) Ok.

[Holly grunting]

Slip right in.

On the side here.
Ok.

Why do you have
all this stuff?
Oh, it's just nothing.

It's just where I keep
all the things

that I don't want
the world to see.

[Phone ringing]

How's the new place?

Oh, I love it.

Good. Um, Mr. rifkin wants
to see you in his office,
a.S.A.P.

I'll be right there.

Nice work on the restaurant
account, ladies.

David kray
signed the paperwork
with us this morning.

You must have made a very
strong impression on him,
holly.

He asked for you
to take the lead
on the opening.

I handled the press preview
flawlessly, Mr. rifkin.

I'd like to continue
what I started.

The client requested holly.

Yes, well, did holly mention
that she and David kray...

thank you.

I don't know
what's going on
between the two of you,

but we need
a sensational opening
for the restaurant.

And I expect the two of you

to work together
to deliver that.

[Rifkin clearing throat]

[Exhaling]

Go.

[People chattering]

You left some plates
in the kitchen
when you moved out.

Keep 'em.

I'm not interested
in going back there.

Did you really think
that you were gonna
get that promotion

by setting up
one of your fuck buddies
as a new client?

He wasn't a fuck buddy.

I was in love with him.

Well, then I did you a favor,

because it wasn't that hard
to get him into bed.

You are such a bitch.

It's your game we're playing,
holly.

I just leveled
the playing field.

You're gonna regret
fucking with me.

That's a promise.

(Holly)
I told him I couldn't
give him a 2nd chance.

I knew you were
too smart to fall

for that "please forgive me"
bullshit men do.

[People chattering]
It's sad, though.
I wanna forgive him.

I really loved the guy.

Fortunately, I never
actually told him that.

You're better off without him.

Maybe.

Guys like David,
they're more trouble
than they're worth.

[Holly exclaiming]
Oh, God, I need
some retail therapy.

This place really isn't me.

Oh, no, come on!
I come here all the time.

[Horns honking]

(Wade) Oh, perfection!

Yeah?
Yeah!

[Chuckling]

Will you need shoes
to go with it?

Try it on.

Oh. No, I... I couldn't.

Oh, come on.
Wade, wouldn't that
look great on her?

Fabulous.

It costs more than I make
in a week.

It'll be my treat.
Come on, try it on.

I look...
Stunning.

I don't have any place
to wear something like this.

Come to the restaurant
opening with me.

You can be my date.

Really?

You'll be doing me a favor.
I could use a friend there.

It means a lot
that you would
want me there.

Thank you.

It'll be fun.

Just be there by 9:00
and I'll have all the meet
and greets out of the way.

You look beautiful.

[People chattering]

Did you get some food?

Some nice hors d'oeuvres
are coming out next.

Hello, and thanks for coming.

Hi, you made it!
I never see you.

Keeping track of me?

Try the truffles, all right?

[People chattering]

How's it lookin' out there?
It's gonna be fine.

I need amazing.

You had amazing.

You don't handle
amazing very well.

You know, I'm having
a hard time living
with that.

Well, at least something
good came out of it, then.

(Jan)
Yes, but I already told you,
miss,

your name isn't on the list.

I'm with holly Parker.
She asked me to come.

And who are you exactly?

I'm her roommate, Tess.

She didn't say anything about
inviting her roommate tonight.

Right there.
"Holly Parker plus one."

I'm her plus one.

Look, Tess,

this isn't the party for you.

Just put the dress
back in the closet
until the prom,

and everything
will be all right.

Oscar?

(Jan)
Frank brusselier,
Sasha mcgann,

Nicholas quirke
from dining out.

How did you get
all these people?

It's what I do.

I saw your
new roommate tonight.

She looked like
she was dressed
for a bar mitzvah.

Tess was here?
I didn't see her.

Well, that's because
I didn't let her in.

What?

We're trying to create
a scene here, holly.

Remember?

Tess?

I'm so sorry, Tess.

I didn't know
until the party was over.

We're friends, right?

Great friends.

These people, jan, David,

they're not your friends.

They don't care about you.

Please forgive me, Tess.

I was just so busy
at the party,

I just assumed
you decided not to come.

Why?

Because I'm so pathetic?

No!

Of course not.

What jan did tonight
had nothing to do with you.

She was just trying to hurt me
by hurting you.

It worked.

I feel terrible.

I owe you a night out.

Maybe this weekend.

I have the perfect guy for you.

I haven't had much luck
with men, holly.

Well, maybe you just
haven't found the right man.

Men don't find me
very attractive.

Oh, that's ridiculous, Tess.

You're beautiful.

There was this guy
in high school,

Chris Hammond.

After what he did,

I just couldn't trust anyone.

I was so stupid.

He never even talked to me
before Elizabeth died.

She was my best friend.

She killed herself
our junior year.

Oh, my God.

I'm sorry, Tess.

She was so beautiful.

And fragile.

We were inseparable
when we were little.

We did everything together.

Until Chris came along.

They went out for about a year.

She said she loved him.

Then he went off to college

and she never heard
from him again.

Her world just collapsed.

She couldn't live with the pain

of loving
and not being loved back.

Chris came home
at Christmas and called me.

He asked me to come over
and talk.

He said he was sorry
he hurt her.

And that I reminded him of her.

He said that he liked me.

And he was so gentle,

I believed him.

But he didn't mean any of it.

[Sighing]

[People chattering]

[Horns honking]

(Woman)
Hi.
Hey!

How are you?
I'm good.
I'm so sorry I'm late.

I got stuck in a meeting.

Oh, that's ok.
Except I have to
be back by 2:00

'cause ralston's
in one hell of a mood.
I know.

I've been reading his reviews.

It's been a while since
he's had a meal he's liked.

Yeah, well,
he's having trouble
with his boyfriend.

Any chance we can get him
laid this weekend?

I'm repping a new restaurant.

Ah, see? I knew
there had to be a reason

why you took me
to a place that has waiters.

You need a favor.
I'm willing to reciprocate.

Ok, help me get ralston
out to review my restaurant,

preferably
when he's in a good mood

and I'll set you up
with my new roommate.

Pass.

I'm offering to set you up
with a terrific girl.

All you have to do is make sure

your boss shows up
for a fabulous meal.

Well, that's just it.
You said terrific girl.

You mentioned nothing
about hot.

Sam, she's my roommate.

Would she be anything else?

[Exclaiming]

You're scamming me.

Sam, this is the kind of girl
you take home to meet mom

and you keep a close watch
on dad to make sure
he doesn't hit on her.

It's a win-win, Sammy.

Yeah, I'm sure it is.

All right, I'll do it, ok?

But if it goes bad,

I don't want to hear from you
for at least 6 months.

Deal.

I can't do it.

(Holly) Sure you can.

I have nothing to wear.

What about the red dress?

He's not taking me to the prom.

(Holly) Come on.

Pick anything you like.

You're serious?

How about this?

Oh, it's kind of sexy.

Exactly.

[Phone ringing]

[Sighing] Where are you?

Hello?

[Dial tone droning]

Figures.

Mother Teresa you're not.

[Kettle whistling]

How long have you
known this guy?

Jesus Christ! You scared me.

I didn't think
you'd be back this early.

How was your date?

You didn't tell me
you two had an arrangement.

What are you talking about?

He gets what he wants,
you get what you want.

I would never do
something like that, Tess.

Neither would Sam.

He tried to force
himself on me.

There must be some mistake.

Sam's not like that.

I'm not like
your other friends, holly.

I don't lie.

(Female receptionist)
Tribune. How may I
direct your call?

Sam elroy, please.
It's holly Parker.

Miss Parker,
Sam is out of the office.

It says here
that he's currently
at your office.

[Telephones ringing]
Oh, really? Thanks.

[People chattering]

[Both chattering]

What the hell happened
last night?

We'll talk later.

What's wrong?

What did you do to Tess?

What are you talking about?
I didn't do anything.

Nothing?
No.

I took her
to train's for dinner,
then I took her home.

You didn't try anything?
[Smirking]
With that girl?

Don't be a smartass, Sam.
She said you tried to force
yourself on her last night.

Oh,
she's out of her fucking mind.

Come on, holly,
how long have
you known me?

You know
I would never, ever do
anything like that, right?

What did jan mean
you would "talk later?"

Uh, uh, she got to ralston
before I could.

She's taking him down
to review zucca's.

[Rain pattering]

[Horns honking]

Tess?

Tess?

Oh, Jesus, no!

Mommy?

Hey! You like?

I hope you don't mind.
I used some of your red.

Holly?

I'm sorry.
I didn't mean
to upset you.

I just love
the way it looks on you.

I didn't think you'd mind.

I'll clean up the mess.

I can go to a stylist tomorrow

and have it colored back.

I talked to Sam.

He said nothing happened.

What did you think
he would say?

(Tess) We're friends, holly.

Friends tell each other
the truth.

Protect each other.

I'm telling you the truth.
I am trying to protect you.

And I'm sorry about the hair.

It was a silly thing to do.

It wasn't just the hair.

When I saw the spots
on the floor,

it just reminded me
of something

I've spent a long time
trying to forget.

What is it?

When I was 7,
my mother committed suicide.

I found her in the bathtub

in the middle of the night.

And you thought
the red hair dye was...

I just kept wondering,

what did I do
to make her so sad?

It wasn't your fault.

Sometimes, I think it's harder

when your the one
who's left behind.

I will always be there for you.

It's what we both want.

No, Tess.

[Traffic rumbling]

[Horns honking]

[People chattering]

I'll give you $50
if you wait here.

(Driver) Sure thing, lady.

¶[Music playing]

[People chattering]

Tighter, tighter!
Please, tighter!

(Man) Move it.

Tighter.

[Moaning] Please, tighter!

[Knock on door]

[Sighing]

I didn't know where else to go.

What's wrong?
What happened?

Tess!

(David)
So you just hopped
in a cab and said,

"follow that car"?

What would you do?

She looked exactly like me,
David.

It was scary.

Look, I think you should
just cut your losses
and get out of there.

Tomorrow, if possible.

Look,

I'll have a couple of guys
from the restaurant come over.

They can move your stuff
out of there before noon.

Hey?

You never
have to see her again.

You can stay at my place
till you find another place
to live.

Here?

No ulterior motives.
I'm just worried about you.

You're gonna think I'm crazy

but I wanna talk to her.

She's weird, David,
but she cares about me.

Well,
at least stay here tonight.

I'll sleep on the couch.

I'll just feel better
if you wait until tomorrow
to talk to her.

Thank you.

I'll get the sheets.

[Horns honking]

I'm so ashamed.

I had no right going there.

What you do
in your own life
is your business.

How did you find me?

You don't strike me
as someone who would

frequent places like that.

I could say the same about you.

You followed me?

I came back
and saw you leaving
wearing my clothes!

I was curious
where you were going
dressed like that.

I... I should have
asked you first.

But we're friends.

Friends share what they have.

Friends don't share
everything, Tess.

Best friends do.

I want to talk. I do.

But I gotta get to work.

It's something I can't explain.

What you saw.

It started a long time ago.

It's none of my business.

I've tried to stop.

It's ok. Really.

I just... I have to go.

Maybe we'll talk tonight.

(Rifkin) Page 4.

Howard ralston's review.

"Zucca's is light and airy,
impressive and ambitious."

(Rifkin) Yes?

"But ultimately fails
to deliver on its promise.

"Instead of perfecting
a handful of choice entrees,

"the menu promises
a myriad of culinary delights,

but fails to properly
deliver on any."

That son of a bitch
owed me a favor!

Gosh.

I shudder to think
what he would have written
if he didn't owe you one.

It's a lot tougher
to get what you want

when you can't
just screw 'em,
isn't it?

Um, there's still the herald.

I know that I can
get the critic...

thank you, but I think
you've done enough.

Let's give holly
a whirl at it, shall we?

I don't care how you do it

but get the herald critic
out there, and get us a review

we can use.

If I do,
the v.P. Job is mine.

Bullshit.

A rave review from the herald
wouldn't hurt your cause.

[E.C.G. Beeping]

[Woman chattering
on p.A. System]

Dr. bressel,
to labor delivery.

Dr. bressel,
to labor delivery.

(David)
Did you read the tribune?

I'm a dead man.

¶[Music playing]

[People chattering]

What... what is so goddamn
funny?

I had 12 cancellations
before noon.

Is that Eric Oliver
from the herald?

I did my job.
Now you do yours.

[E.C.G. Beeping]

It's ok, Mr. cummings.

Everything's gonna be better.

You can let go.

Just let go.

[E.C.G. Flatlining]

¶[Music playing]

Mr. Oliver, it is a pleasure
having you here.

Now, if there's anything
I can...

I'll have a scotch.
18 years or better.

Coming up.

[People chattering]

How long have you
been sleeping with him?

Eric! That is none
of your business.

Is it that obvious?
Painfully.

Now, if you have any hopes
of this review working out
for you,

you better start talking.

Because there's nothing I hate
more than a boring meal.

About 6 months.

I felt kind of sorry for her.

There's a sweetness there
that's just screaming
to get out.

I haven't seen it.

You don't even know her, David.

I know enough to know
I want you out of there.

And in your place?

Guilty.

It's just sometimes
when I look at her,

I see myself.
It's frightening.

And fascinating.

Move in with me.

No strings.
Just a chance.

Holly, I made one
unforgivable mistake.

I won't make another.

It's time.

[Sighing]

Here we go.

(David)
"Zucca's, corner of 4th..."

[Horns honking]

"Elegant atmosphere
and an exquisite
dining experience."

You did it.
You opened it with a bang.

Not yet.

[Sighing]

[Shushing]

What happened to this?

(Holly) I don't know.

(Tess) Don't lie to me.

Why would you bring him
into our house?

Maybe I should wait outside.
No, stay.

You've got every right
to be here.

He fucks around on you
and he has every right
to be here?

Listen, Tess, this is my life.

Do you understand? Mine!

I didn't mean
to make you angry.

I just want you to remember
how he made you feel

when he fucked your roommate!

He doesn't care about you,
holly!

Not like I do.

Stop it, Tess.

You need to leave.

Go.

I'm gonna get some things
and I'm gonna stay
at David's tonight.

You don't have to leave.

Tess, I'm moving in with David.

It's a really busy time
at work,

but I'm gonna try
and be out of here
by the end of the month.

She looked devastated.

She'll be ok.

[Horns honking]

You're doing the right thing.

She's had a lot
of tragedy in her life.

I know what that's like.

[Sighing]

I wish you weren't
going out of town tonight.

If I could reschedule, I would.

I'll be back
for dinner tomorrow.

Thank you.

Maybe you're not
such a bad guy after all.

I'll call when I land.
Ok.

Bye.

[Both laughing]

Miss Parker.

Good morning, Mr. rifkin.

You look like
you haven't slept a wink.

[People chattering]

Waiting for the morning
edition, no doubt.

I think you'll be pleased.

I've read it.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

All right, I think it's time
to put an end

to all this
promotion business,
once and for all.

The two of you have behaved
like rabid animals

which I rather
enjoyed watching.

Seems a pity I can't
stretch it out any longer.

But all good things
come to an end, as they say.

[Elevator bell ringing]
Ah, perfect timing.

Going up?

Holly,

the job's yours.

That son of a bitch.

Jan, listen, I...
no!

Holly, he's right.

You know, we have been
behaving like animals.

Truth is,
you deserve the promotion.

I never should have
brought David into this.

You delivered on your promise.

His restaurant opened
with a bang.

2 of them.

David and I
are sort of trying
to get back together.

Hmm. Good for you.

Are you sure you're ok?

With this promotion thing,
I mean?

Yeah.

As long as
you're not planning
on moving back in.

No.

Friends?

Friends.

Well, let's go get 'em,

boss.

[People chattering]

[Horns honking]

¶[Music playing]

[Cell phone ringing]

Hello?

Sorry, who?

Oh, hi, holly.

I can barely hear you.

(Holly) I'm cooking tonight.

I thought you might
like to come by.

I sort of had plans.

Oh, come on. It'll be fun.
You love my cooking.

It'll give us
a chance to catch up.

Please?

All right. Um...

Sure.

Just give me
your address again.

[People laughing]

Hey.

Oh. Hi, Tess.

Is holly here?

She ran down to the store.

We ran out of something
she needed for dinner.

Come in.

How nice that holly's
cooking for you.

Yeah.

Are you joining us?

No.

I'm going out.
To the prom.

Look,

holly and I were going
through a rough time.

I took my anger
at her out on you.

And you're not going through
a rough time anymore?

You and holly, I mean?

You know,

I think I'm just gonna
wait for holly downstairs.

She's my friend now.

Holly's been a great friend
to both of us.

Better probably than either
one of us deserves.

Certainly better
than you deserve.

[Groaning]

[Jan groaning]

[Groaning]
Please don't kill me.

[Groaning]

Tess?

What happened?

The super came over to fix
the door in the cabinet.

His screwdriver slipped
and he cut his hand
pretty bad.

I wasn't expecting you tonight.

I thought you were staying
the night at David's.

Oh, I just came by
to get my jacket.

That must have been
a pretty bad cut.
There's a lot of blood.

He's going to the hospital
to get stitches.

What's going on
with the candles and...

Some friends are coming over
for dinner.

Oh, that sounds like fun.
Mmm-hmm.

Maybe I can stay and meet them.

Not tonight, holly.

Maybe some other time?

Well, I'll just
get my jacket and go.

[Jan groaning]

Shh.

[Knock on door]

Tess, I just wanted to say
I'm sorry about last night.

I know David and me
getting back together
is a shock.

But the truth is,
I've been thinking
about it for a while.

He does love me.

And you believe that
because he hasn't tried

to sleep
with your new roommate?

Tess, please.

I'm sorry.

I guess I'm just upset
that you're moving out.

I love having you here.

I don't want you to leave.

I so appreciate
you taking me in
when I needed it the most.

And don't worry, I'm gonna pay
my share of the rent

until you find a roommate.

I'll put the ad in tomorrow.

Maybe you and me
and David could get
dinner tomorrow night

when he gets back in town?

I'd like that.

Great. I'll tell him
to meet us here at 7:00.

Ok.
Ok.

Bye.
Bye.

[Groaning]

Shit!

I love this dress.

[People chattering]

Sam elroy sent this over.

Have you seen jan today?

No. A few girls said
they saw her at that bar
on 3rd street last night.

Drinking away
the promotion blues.

If you see her,
have her call me.

Sure.

[Cell phone ringing]

(David)
Hi, you've reached
David's cell phone.

Leave a message
and I'll call you back.

(Holly) David, it's me.

Call me as soon as you land.

There's something
I need to talk to you about.

[Knock on door]

Hi.

Hi.

Uh,

is holly here?

Oh, no. Not yet.

Well, she's supposed
to meet me here.

We're all supposed
to have dinner tonight.

Kind of a farewell thing.

Come in.

It's ok.
I'm not gonna bite.

Come in.

Do you want a glass of wine?

I'm gonna have a glass.

I think I'll wait
for holly. Thanks.

Ok. Make yourself at home.

She's always late,

but I guess you know that.

I'm sure you know her
better than I do.

You're right.

She is always late.

I'm surprised
she didn't call and tell you
she was running late.

She might have tried.

Left my cell phone
on the plane.

[Phone ringing]

Uh, maybe that's her right now.

Hello?

No, but it's fine.

(Holly)
If he gets there before I do,
have him call me.

I really need to talk to him.

We're still going, right?

Your farewell dinner?

Uh, I think it's a little late
for that tonight.

Tess?

I'm still here.

Just wondering
how many times
you're gonna lie

before I wise up.

We'll talk when you get here.

Tess?

[Dial tone droning]

Was that her?

She's stuck in traffic.

She didn't ask to talk to me?

Her phone cut off.
She'll probably
call back in a bit.

You might as well
take your coat off
and relax.

She's at least 45 minutes away.

Oh, maybe we should
just reschedule.

I suggested that,
but she wants
to do it tonight.

To you and holly.

Thanks.

How's the wine?

Oh, it's very good.

Would I know it?
Probably not.

It's from a small vineyard
in California.

Not like the expensive wines
at your restaurant.

No, the wines
at my restaurant
aren't that expensive.

We charge people a lot
to drink 'em.

That's your specialty,
isn't it?

Lying, I mean.

I'm sorry. That was rude
and uncalled for.

I guess
I'm just a little bitter

holly's moving out so soon.

I'm sure holly
wants to stay friends.

Really?

She arranged a farewell dinner.

She says she wants to stay
friends with you, Tess.

I'm sure she means it.

Holly lies to you, David.

She was supposed
to share her pain with me.

We were gonna
protect each other.

Are you still fucking
jan and holly?

All right.

[Sighing]

Are you ok?

[Sighing]

[Gasping]

You don't look so good.

Maybe it was the wine.

[Gasping]
What did you do to me?

[David gasping]

[David gasping]

[Man chattering
on police radio]

[Siren wailing]

[People chattering]

[Officers chattering]

What's going on?
Do you live here?

I do.

Detective! We've got
the roommate here!

Miss Parker?
What is it?

You know a David kray?

What happened?

Is David ok? Where is he?

He's on his way
to the hospital.

What happened, Tess?

He was hurting me.
He wouldn't stop.

What did you do to him?

This way.

She's lying.

You don't even know
what she said.

I know she's lying about David.

He would never hurt her.

They were in
a sexual situation.

That's bullshit.

He got rough.

She says he wouldn't stop.

She got scared for her life
and she reacted.

Reacted?
What does that mean?

She hit him
with a wine bottle.
2 blows to the head.

Oh, my God!

He's alive,
but he wasn't responding
when we arrived.

She's lying!
David would never do that!

Is it true you moved out
of your last apartment

because you found
Mr. kray and your roommate

engaged in
a sexual relationship?

Yes, but...

I want to see David.

All right. Let's go.

(Doctor)
He's suffered major trauma

[e.C.G. Beeping]
To the prosencephalon
section of the brain.

We've stopped
the cerebral bleeding

but he's in a comatose state.

There's been no cognitive
or motor responses
of any kind.

I got here as
soon as I could.
How is he?

Not good.

Exactly what does
she claim happened?

She says that
when he showed up
at the apartment,

he was drunk.

When she told him
you were gonna be late,
he became irritated.

She opened a bottle of wine
to try and calm him down.

They started talking.

The conversation
took on sexual tones.

He said,
"I know what you like
and I like it, too."

She tried to fight him off,
but he responded
with a violent outburst.

It's all a lie!
She made it up!

She was afraid for her life.

She hit him
with the wine bottle
in self-defense,

then called 911.

Nothing happened.

Her injuries are consistent
with the events she describes.

[Cell phone ringing]

They're taking d.N.A. Samples
from her now.

Yeah? Hang on.

The hospital's
keeping her tonight
for observation.

We'll know more
when we get the test
results back tomorrow.

Go ahead.

(Rifkin)
All right, holly,
take a breath.

I'm so sorry, holly.

He wouldn't stop.

Cut the shit, Tess.

It may work on the others,
but I know you're lying.

Why are you doing this?

He hurt me.

Stop it, Tess!

He tried to kill me.

You're fucking lying!

Tell them the truth!

Tell them!

Tell them the goddamn truth!

Ask her what she did!

Ask her what really happened!

Ask her!
(Rifkin)
Come on, holly.

What a night.

Are you sure
you want to go back
in there again tonight?

I'd feel weird about staying
at David's right now.

Grab some stuff,

come stay at my place
for a few days.

I'll be ok.

Sure?

Yeah.
I need some time alone.

There are a few things
I want to check out.

All right, your call.

Take some time off.

Jan can handle your accounts
for a while assuming

she still works for us.

What do you mean?

She didn't show up
for work today.

Some of the girls think
she is going to jump ship,

look for something
at one of the big firms.

I'll call you tomorrow.
Do.

Night-night.

Demerol?

It's a fast-acting narcotic
in high dosage.

Showed up in the blood panel.

He was loaded with it.

Enough to knock him
off his feet.

Detective, we have a problem.

She was here 5 minutes ago.

No one saw her leave.

(Rousch)
Miss Parker,
this is detective rousch.

If you get this message,
call me back immediately.
I need to talk to you.

[Screaming]

[Panting]

You killed her.

She was a bitch.
You said so yourself.

[Gasping]

And she was coming between us,
holly.

David, too.

They could never understand
what we have.

You killed jan.

She had to die.

She understood in the end.

They always understand.

My God, Tess.

How many have you killed?

How much pain
have I taken away?

A lot.

I can help you, holly.

I can make the pain disappear.

Please don't, Tess.

First, your mother.

Then David.

And now jan.

So much pain.

When you understand,

you'll thank me.

[Gasping]

I don't want to die.

I don't want to die.

It'll be ok.

Let's go.

[Whimpering]

You remind me so much
of Elizabeth.

[Gasping]

I knew from the moment we met

that there was something
special between us.

Get in.

[Gasping]
Please don't do this, Tess.

Get in.

We're friends.

Best friends.

I don't want that to end.

Said get in!

[Groaning]

Elizabeth was afraid, too.

Scared of dying.

You go first.

Then I'll join you.

We'll be friends forever.

How do I know
you'll keep your promise?

Because I love you.

Even more
than I loved Elizabeth.

I love you, Tess.

[Tess screaming]

[Gasping]

Help me!
She's trying to kill me!

Tell me what happened?

Stay inside! Stay inside!

Where is she?
I don't know.

Where is she?

[Screaming]

Come on.

[Groaning]

Somebody help me!

I'm trying to help you.
Why can't you see that?

You're not leaving, holly.

[Gasping]

That's not how it ends.

We're gonna be friends forever.

Do you know
how to use one of those?

Let him go, Tess.

I don't wanna hurt you.

You can never hurt me, holly.

You love me.

The will to live is so strong.

So primal.

[Rousch gasping]

Even when all you want
is for the pain to go away.

Please, Tess.

We can get you help.

I have to.

For Elizabeth. For us.

It's a beautiful thing

to see someone released
from their pain.

Please just let him go.

It's just you and me.

Just you and me.

There's a moment

just before the end.

A moment of clarity

when it all finally
seems to make sense.

I saw it in Elizabeth's eyes.

I wanted it for me.

I tried.

I tried so hard,

but I was so scared.

I was weak

and she was gone.

[Gasping]

Look closely in his eyes.

You can see it as he dies.

The understanding.

[Groaning]

[Coughing]

I love you.

(Woman)
As you can see, it's been
completely renovated.

Marble floors,
copper piping, new paint.

And it's in a quiet,
safe neighborhood.

Life is so crazy, isn't it?

Did they ever find out
how many people she killed?

If you ask me, it's the meat.

(David) Pardon?

The meat.

That's what's making us crazy.

Mad cow and all.
It's the meat.

The government
isn't telling us the truth.

I won't eat beef anymore.

My husband says
I'm nowhere near
as bitchy as I used to be.

(Tess)
You saw it in my eyes,
didn't you?

That moment of understanding.

(David) Holly?

Holly?

[Sighing] What do you think?

The listing goes out tomorrow.

If you want it, it's yours.

I'll need first and last,

but I think I can
get the owner to waive
the security deposit.

Let's take it.
