Now that was worth waiting for. Oh, and worth coming home to.

You know, they say I have the hands of a healer.

Well, that reminds me. How's your sprained ankle doing?

Oh, it's okay, I guess.

Maybe you ought to keep me in bed all day just to be on the safe side. You

what? That's a great idea.

You stay here and you don't move and you order lunch in.

Hey, hey, hey, where are you going?

Oh, I got a breakfast meeting with my lawyer.

Why? I thought you were exonerated of all sexual harassment charges. Yeah, I

was, but in the process, my reputation got dragged through the mud, and as a

doctor, you know, reputation is very important, so I'm countersuing.

Oh, no, Michael, that's a terrible idea.

A mistake was made. It's over.

Oh, that's easy for you to say. No one's ever questioned your moral.

Honey, forget about it. Move on.

Move on?

James, this lawsuit can solve our financial crisis.

Besides which, all anybody's going to remember about these sex charges is that

probably did something wrong and that I probably covered it up.

Well, Michael Mancini is not a crook, and I'm going to prove it.

Peter?

You hopeless romantic, are you making me break... Sorry about

break...

Drove Amanda to see Kyle at rehab. How about a nice dinner tonight?

Hi.

Baby, hi.

Morning. How are things?

Good. Good. How are you doing? Are you okay? I can't complain. I just stopped

to see you. I'm so glad you did. I wanted to see you, too. But I... What?

I have to get to my therapist in about five minutes.

Oh, well, I won't keep you. I just wanted to be here for you, give you

to talk to. Well, that I got. That's all we do here. We talk, and then we talk,

and we keep talking.

Yeah.

Well, what do you talk about?

Besides me, I mean, and our relationship.

You know what? I'd rather not get into that right now.

Is there something you don't want me to know?

No, just, you know, stuff that I'm working out.

That you're keeping from me.

You know what? I'm going to get to my session, okay?

Because I'm the problem, right?

It's my fault you can't let me down, so you just shut me out.

I didn't say that. You didn't have to.

Okay, you want the truth? You are exactly right, baby. I can't let you

That's why I didn't want you to come here today.

Another way out.

Let's go.

I take it it didn't go very well. Coming here was a stupid idea. He's closed off

and he's very hostile.

Well, everybody handles therapy differently. Not everybody talks and

it and processes it. You know, I am a little sick of your well -meaning

You weren't very sick of it last night when I saved you from being raped. I

thanked you last night. Now I suppose I'm going to hear about it any time I

you for a favor.

You want to know what your problem is, Amanda? Do tell.

Somebody else was in charge last night. Somebody else was in charge inside that

building. You just can't stand not being in control. And you have a cure for my

problem, Doctor?

Yeah, I think I do. For once in your life, just once, let go.

And for once in your life, Peter, shut up and drive.

You're a friend, Cliff.

You're a charlatan.

You have me on goodbye.

These are things you made me crazy for the rest of my life.

Well,

that was a grueling experience.

Yeah. I hate it when nearly naked women rub me with oil in a tropical paradise.

Hey, wait a minute. There's a good idea for a slogan.

Adventures in Paradise.

Isn't that a book?

And a TV show? No, no, no.

Now, the guy said he wants something new and unusual in a marketing slogan.

How about skin surfers?

I don't think he wanted an R rating.

All right.

I got an idea.

I'm going to just throw out an activity to you, and you tell me the first thing

that comes to your mind, all right?

Like parasailing.

Ecstasy.

Okay.

Hiking. Getting lost.

I don't think this is a good idea.

I mean, we represent different companies. We shouldn't be working

Working. I mean, you call this working?

We're swimming, we're fishing, we're hiking.

It's more like sleepaway camp.

With sex.

Singles. Singles camp.

I knew that was going to happen. We come up with a great idea together. Now,

who's going to run with it?

I don't know. You can take it and I can come up with something else.

Vice versa.

Or we could develop it in tandem.

Oh, yeah, and just have Amanda Woodward advertising merge with Sterling Conway?

I don't think so.

Well, why don't we just flesh it out together and then clip a coin?

See who owns it?

Winner takes all?

I don't think that's such a good idea.

What? You don't think you could rise to the challenge?

You're on.

Change your mind about leaving, I hope? No, I just wish I'd quit sooner. That

way I could be working at a hip club by now.

Where do you want me to send your last check?

Well, you see Peter so often, why don't you just give it to him?

You're jealous?

That's where this is coming from?

He drives you off.

To some personal melodrama, and I get nothing but a crummy note. What is that

about? It's about a friend helping a friend.

Meaning what?

You're going to keep big, strong Peter around to protect you just in case Ricky

G shows up again?

I don't even know you anymore.

You know who I am? I'm somebody who doesn't have to toy with somebody else's

husband because I can't make it work with my own.

You're going to have to do a lot better than that, Amanda.

Yeah, with any luck, I should be home tomorrow.

You must be exhausted. Lexi said your trip's been nothing but work.

Yeah, it's pretty intense. I'm getting a lot done, though. So what do you think

your chances are of winning the campaign?

I'd say 50 -50.

Yeah, that's exactly what Lexi said.

I miss you.

Yeah, me too.

I better get going, though. You know, I've got a lot to do.

Back to the salt mines.

Mm -hmm, back to the salt mines.

All right, so I'll see you tomorrow.

I love you.

Yeah, me too. Bye.

You know, it's the best damn campaign I've ever come up with.

I mean, we have come up with. Think we'll beat the competition?

No question.

That was enough to do, but turn in and claim our prize at the award breakfast

tomorrow morning?

There's still that small matter of deciding who owns it. Yeah.

You know, I just think it's just so arbitrary to decide over a coin toss.

That was your idea. I know.

I know, but don't you want to fight for it?

Decide on the basis of a real...

Come on.

We'll test our mettle against each other.

What do you have in mind? A little duking it out or a triathlon or maybe a

drinking match?

Well, you know, it is Mexico, and I do believe that tequila is the official

drink of singles resorts everywhere.

You wouldn't stand a chance, Lexi. Try me.

Okay.

Room service, please.

100 % agave, straight shot. Whatever.

You've already lost.

Peter, is that you?

Not exactly.

What are you doing here?

We cannot be seen together like this. I'm in the middle of a lawsuit against

hospital. But I miss... You?

And I just thought to have and have not at the Newark.

And, you know, just feeling kind of Lauren Bacall -ish. Well, have not

okay? I'm busy. Now, let's go.

You back with your wife again, Michael?

Well, yes, we are living together, but only because she has a medical

Boy, this doctoring thing really runs deep in you, doesn't it?

Well, absolutely. You know, easing pain is not just the way to do business. Now,

listen, as soon as I get that settlement from the hospital, then you'll get your

cut, okay? Oh, that's terrific, Michael. But you know what?

I'm going to need just a little something to tide me over. A little

like you.

So just put your lips together.

You know what? It's really fun, but it's also a really bad idea because Jane's

going to be here any minute. And if she catches us together, it could ruin our

whole wrongful termination scam.

Okay. But as soon as that settlement comes in, I expect to do a little

celebrating with you.

Actually, a lot of celebrating.

And you know what, honey? I'll have bells on.

Adios.

Yes, hello.

May I speak with Kyle McBride? Who's calling?

This is his wife.

Can you hold?

Yeah, I'll hold.

Eve, I'm home.

I come bearing give.

Sorry about dinner. I hope you had a good time with Amanda. Maybe I'll see

for breakfast.

Oh, yeah, hello.

He's not answering. Oh, he's not in his room?

No. No message.

Thank you.

I haven't seen you around before.

It's your first time?

Yeah.

That's number six for me.

Give me a special rate now.

I don't plan on making any return visits.

No, neither did I.

It's kind of worked out, though. I get a couple weeks of peace and quiet, and my

old lady loves it when I detox.

Yeah?

Why's that?

Well, I'm out of the way.

She gets a lot of sympathy from her... I told you so, girlfriend.

Gets a little nookie from her old smart -ass boyfriend.

I come home and everybody's happy. I said shut up!

Hey, hey, hey, easy.

I'm not talking about your life.

Down. That's all I have to say. You are going down.

Oh, my goodness.

I'm going down. I get a little bit of air.

I'm going down.

I'm going down.

Down, down. Hey, hey.

Hey. Back to the salt mines.

Wait a minute. I got it. Let's change our slogan.

Let's change it from the single camp to the drinking camp.

That's good. A health resort. But people don't come for the waters. They come

for the boozes.

Boy,

all this talk about water is making me thirsty.

Some juice.

Uh, that's a good idea.

Oh, boy.

Um... Uh, wait. You, um... Hey, wait. That's the wrong door.

And we still haven't decided who owns the idea.

What are you doing in the closet?

Hey, come on in.

It's really very cozy in here.

And I got good juice.

Oh.

Ryan, you know... You know what I used to do at camp?

No,

her name is Burns.

She might be going by Cleary.

All right, I'll check.

Oh, where you been?

Out. Didn't you get my note? Out? I've been calling hospitals all night long

looking for you.

Yeah, well, you should have tried the club.

3 a .m.? Tell me, please, what clubs do you go to at 3 a .m.? I was doing a gig

with my old band. You know, the one you had Amanda fire because it was a little

bit too hip.

Oh, right. Right, that one.

I guess that's why you missed your appointment with your parole officer.

Oh, God, I forgot I was supposed to see him yesterday.

This is great.

Really, I mean...

This is just great. You're gonna have to help me here because I don't know what

to do, okay? This is all very new to me.

Am I supposed to lie for you? Is that what I do here?

Don't do this to me again.

Oh, Peter, get over yourself.

This is about my parole appointment.

No, you mean parole violation.

I'm just gonna go call him.

Why don't you go and meet with him? Or do you want to go back to prison? Yeah,

that's exactly what I want to do.

Why are you doing this?

Why?

I'm gonna go call Greg from the other room and then I'm going to bed.

Maybe I'll see you later.

Dios mio!

Perdóname.

Oh my God, where are we? Turn out the sunshine.

Oh, my God. What time is it? What time is it?

Oh, we forgot about the banquet. Come on. I think we can still make it.

We're going to miss the deadline.

Hurry up. Okay. All right. Come on.

Oh, here. Take that.

Okay, that'll do.

We missed it, didn't we?

Oh, I think there's some flan left on the buffet table if you hurry.

The tequila.

It's like Haitian rules.

It was really stupid.

So what do we do now?

Pack up and go home, I guess.

Mom's a word on this, right?

Oh, yeah.

So you going home on the 12 o 'clock flight?

I'm booked on 1 o 'clock, actually, so I guess I'll see you back in L .A.

Yeah.

What is it?

Looks like a lawsuit. Yes.

And why? The harassment charges have been dropped. You've gotten your license

back. You mirrored my good name with innuendo. I may never get another decent

job. You've got your privileges at Wilshire Memorial again with back pay.

but it's a hostile work environment there now.

Thank God this country has a court system that protects victims like me.

know, Michael, I've helped you every step of the way here.

Well, you want to help?

Settle out of court.

How much?

Two million by end of day tomorrow.

That's crazy!

It'll cost you at least that much in lawyer's fees just to fight it.

Now, I suggest that you go back to the board and hash this out before I get

really insulted.

All dressed up, only one table setting.

Looks like a cry for company to me.

You wish.

No, no, no. That was merely a professional opinion.

And frankly, I don't hold any grudges over the way you once sexually

manipulated me.

Grudges?

Conte, you tried to jump in my pants.

I think you're alone tonight because most men run away when you talk like

Yeah, most men run away when I talk like anything.

Then I suggest you change your approach.

And go for a different kind of man. I mean, forget the Coops and the Peters.

Go for the, um, shy, perspiring, yet tender type.

Hmm. So we are talking about you lusting after me.

No, Lexi.

But as a Zen master once said, to catch a butterfly, you must wait with an open

hand.

I'm ready, Lewis.

I missed you.

I'm just going to be home.

Oh, thank you. You know, you're just in time for dinner. I want you to tell me

all about it. All about what?

About Passion Island Incorporated. Did you win the account or did Lexi? Oh.

Oh, let's not talk about Passion Island.

There's something I have to tell you.

What? I wanted to call you, but Amanda said not to. Um, Kyle had a breakdown.

He's in rehab.

What? Rehab? What happened? I don't know all the details.

You looking for Eve? She won't be home till late.

How late?

Breakfast.

Oh, she's fighting with you too, huh?

She's singing at some after -hours club I told her not to.

I don't know where it is.

Well, actually, that's why I'm here, to double her salary if she'd stay with the

house band.

Oh, how nice.

Well, if I see her, I'll tell her.

Um, I wanted to apologize to you two for yelling yesterday when you drove me to

see Kyle.

Come on in. We can cry on each other's shoulder.

I can't even connect with Kyle.

And he's obviously avoiding me.

Well, Eve's avoiding me and her parole officer.

Oh, that's not good. I mean, you and I can work things out with her. What is it

about us, huh?

Do we drive people we love to the brink or do we have impossibly high

expectations? What is it?

Oh, this is a very depressing conversation.

So Kyle's in rehab? You thought it wasn't important enough to tell me?

You were a thousand miles away.

Yeah, they have phones there, Amanda.

Brian, your brother has a problem. He's getting it fixed. There was no need to

call. There was nothing you could do about it anyway.

You're sure doing something about it, aren't you? Getting cozy with your ex

-husband?

And where's your wife tonight, Doctor?

Where are you going?

I've got to find Eve to keep her from ruining everything.

Make yourself at home.

Amanda Woodward, advertising.

Yeah, hi. Is Amanda there?

Of course she is. She never leaves this early.

Actually, she did go. But did Dr. Burns have a message for you?

Yeah, Dr.

Burns. Ms. Woodward says to just stay at your apartment and she'll meet you

there.

Okay. Um, thanks.

I got the message.

She's fine.

A little ragged, maybe.

She spent a few hours in lockup for being at an unlicensed rave club.

But I was able to get charges dropped.

Oh, thank God. Thank you.

Look, I let Eve walk because, in my opinion, everybody deserves one chance.

But this was it.

Next time, it's straight back to women's correctional at Stockton.

Absolutely.

Thank you.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry. It's okay. It's all right.

I just hope that you get this rebel thing out of your system.

What?

Is it too unladylike?

I mean, Amanda would never be this wild witch here. Are you afraid I'm just

going to embarrass you at the next foundation dinner? What are you doing

Who are you trying to hurt, huh?

Me, Amanda?

You know what? I was going to tell you that I was through with the band. I was

through with staying out all night. But you know what? If you would just much

rather punish me.

You know what?

You're punishing yourself. That's who you're punishing.

I thought you were here for me. I am.

But I'm afraid.

It feels like you're risking all of this to try to prove something.

I don't want to lose you.

You have a funny way of showing it.

I came by last night, but I guess visiting hours were over. They wouldn't

in. Yeah, we hit the sack pretty early around here.

I don't know if I'm going to be able to stay up late enough to run a club when I

get home.

Kyle, I'm really sorry I wasn't here for you. I was out of the country. Nobody

even told me what happened. No, hey, forget about it. It's something that I

to do on my own.

I miss you guys. I miss you. I miss Eve.

Amanda, of course.

Yeah, Amanda.

How's she doing?

Oh, she's great, yeah. She misses you.

Oh, man.

I feel so badly about how I pushed her away when she came to visit me. Yeah,

well, she's cool. I mean, she understands, you know. She's just

We're all waiting for you to come home.

Yeah.

Ryan, I've never fallen this far before.

I feel like I let everybody down.

No, man.

No, you haven't.

I mean, especially a man, especially now that I'm out here in the middle of...

I don't even know what I'm in the middle of.

I want you to promise me something.

Name it.

Promise me that you will take care of Amanda while I'm here.

I want you to swear.

Kyle, I'll take care of her, I swear. I promise.

I promise.

Thanks.

Two million bucks. That is very nice.

Now it would help if you gave me an apology.

Michael, you got what you wanted. You don't have to rep it in. Oh, yes, I do.

Peter? Fine, fine.

On behalf of the board, I would like to formally apologize. Oh, no, no, no. I

want a personal apology.

Oh, yeah, I feel very bad that you didn't believe my story, Peter.

Michael, get over it.

Jane, thank you.

Michael and I go back a long way. I think I'm big enough to say that I'm

Yes, you are big enough, P .D. Now let's hear it.

Sorry.

Attaboy. I accept.

Now, Jane, let's get out of here.

This place holds so many bad memories for me. Michael, there's a few reporters

out in the nurses' station, so you don't mind going out the back? Like to avoid

any unpleasant publicity?

You understand, buddy?

Sure. Why not?

Honey, isn't the door that way?

Yeah, but everybody needs their 15 minutes of fame.

Dr. Mancini!

Hey.

Is Megan around?

I think she's caught up in a meeting, but come on in, honey. I'll entertain

Oh, come on. That vacation thing is over with. It's back to the real world.

Reliving old heartburns, I see.

Here, join me. I'd better wait for Megan. She is my dinner partner now.

You look upset. What's bothering you?

Nothing.

Ryan, come on.

We're friends now, right?

I feel that the... Well, we both know what it was sealed with.

That was an accident, Lexi, okay? We never should have done what we did.

Yeah, okay. So stipulated.

Now, come on.

Why don't you tell Mama Lexi what's bothering you?

Well, um, well, it's just I've never been comfortable with Peter living so

to Amanda.

You know, the whole spousal thing?

Well, last night, those two were getting very friendly.

I mean, maybe it's just paranoid, but with Kyle in rehab?

Yeah, it's not paranoid, Ryan.

What do you mean?

Well, I went to this fancy hotel, and I saw the two of them go to the front

desk, get a key, and walk up to a room arm in arm.

What?

Recently? No, this was a couple of weeks ago.

But, uh,

Ryan, this isn't anything new.

The two of them have had a long, obsessive history together.

Like what? What are you saying?

I can't really talk about it, but I can only imagine what went on up in that

room.

I gotta go.

Hey, where are you going?

Aren't we having dinner? Something just came up. I'm gonna have to call you

later. I'm sorry.

Hi. Hey. Come on in.

Guess what?

I just got the lead in Baby Doll at the Bay City Theater. Oh, look.

Congratulations. That's great. You want to read the Carl Malden part with me?

Oh, no thanks. You want something to eat?

Or just a drink? No, really. I just came by to give you a little something. Oh,

good. I like that.

Oh, look at this. You're going to like this even more.

That's a down payment for a house or a nice car or school tuition.

300 grand.

Oh, Michael.

It was the best acting job ever. Audrey, Audrey.

You already got the part. Now, listen, listen. Look, I never date actors, and

I'm back with Jane now.

You said you were just with her because of her medical condition.

Right. Well, I thought about it, and it's not like you're not a wonderful

person, because you are.

But she is my wife, and...

I know. Family values are important to me. I thought I was important to you.

Oh, come on, Audrey.

You're a great kid.

And I'm never going to forget you.

Never.

Take care.

Oh, that's what I'm talking about. That's great, Megan.

Yeah, I love it. How did things go with you and Ryan down at Passion Island?

Pretty well.

Considering we came out empty -handed. Yeah, I'm surprised neither one of you

landed the account.

Yeah, well, I guess the competition was just too stiff.

You know, I'm going to sound like an idiot for asking you this, but did

happen between you and Ryan down there?

Oh, Megan, of course not.

Come on, I learned my lesson.

Why do you ask?

Well, I understand last night.

Ryan heard about Kyle and he ran out, but then tonight he comes by here and he

leaves immediately, and I just... I don't know. I just don't know what's

on with him, that's all.

Well, Megan, he's probably really upset about his brother being in rehab.

You know, Ryan, he's... He's one of those old -fashioned kind of guys who

cares about the people he loves.

You're really lucky to have him.

I am lucky to have him. And you know what? I'm lucky to have you as a friend,

too. Thank you.

Eve,

you home?

I want to work with you, Burns.

What the hell?

I want you to stay away from Amanda.

Oh, not you too.

Just get out of here, will you? When I'm done. Well, you're done now. I'm

expecting someone. Oh, expecting Eve? Or is it Amanda that you're waiting for?

Look, I don't know where you're coming up with this, Ryan, but you're way out

line. Really?

I know all about your affair with Amanda.

What affair?

I know what I see, and I also know about you two getting that hotel suite

together.

Look, pal, I don't know what you're talking about here.

You don't know what I'm talking about. No, I don't. You have an explanation for

everything, don't you? Well, all I know is my brother's in rehab because you put

him there to get him out of the way, I'm thinking. Kyle is in rehab because he's

addicted to drugs.

Drugs you prescribed for him so he could relax because he's shooting blanks.

He can't even give his wife a child and you're going to move in on her? I am not

moving in on Amanda.

Well, you better move away from her or you're going to have me to deal with.

Hello? Peter, it's Amanda.

Is anyone else there with you?

No, Amanda, I'm alone.

Oh, well, you are not going to believe this.

I just took a home pregnancy test.

It's positive.

You're pregnant?

No, no, I wouldn't tell anybody about this, actually.

All right, well, I'll meet you at the club then, and we'll go to the hospital

together. Great, I'll see you there.

Come in.

Excuse me, Mr. McBride. Your wife's here.

I know it. I know it.

Kyle, I... I'm sorry that I had to line my way in. I had to see you. I

didn't know who else to turn to.

It's okay.

What's going on?

Peter and Amanda are having an affair.

No. No way.

Well, that's what I used to think, too.

Kyle, everybody has seen them together.

Ryan, Lexi, even me. So what? They're old friends. It doesn't mean anything.

No, Peter's been obsessed with Amanda for years.

Maybe he was just... He was looking for a way to push you out of the picture so

that he could have her. I mean, he pushed you out of the picture now,

He pushed you all the way into rehab.

No, he is...

friend, okay? I have a drug... I had a drug problem, for God's sakes. I mean,

come on. Which he got you started taking, didn't he?

What are you saying? Are you saying that he set this whole thing up? That he got

me hooked on drugs to send me here? Because if I thought they were true for

second... Amanda's not completely blameless here.

She had a thing for Peter years before you came along.

I mean, she wouldn't be the first woman in history to sneak out the back alley.

You know, at least if I were going to cheat on you...

Amanda...

Amanda loves me.

Yeah, well, guess what? Amanda's pregnant.

It's got to be Peter's child, since you can't... You're sterile. You're sterile.

Amanda is pregnant?

Amanda and Peter are making fools of both of us, Kyle.

Give me your keys.

What?

Give me your keys. Why? Why? Where are we going?

You? Nowhere.

Me?

No, Kyle, wait. Kyle, wait. Talk to me about...

You know, I've really been thinking about that thing that you said to me the

other night, that whole butterfly thing and the open hand.

Office hours are over, Lexi.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not here for any therapy. I just... I need you to,

um, speak more plainly.

All right, in that case, please leave. I'm going home.

You know, it's really hot in here.

What do you do? You crank up the thermostat and sweat the confessions out

your patients?

You know, I don't think you need to sit down.

Oh, don't worry. I'm not going to seduce you. I just... I just want to

understand.

Only that you shouldn't chase after men so much.

Let them come to you.

Yeah, but what if they don't?

I mean, I really get scared, you know. I see all these... There's really lonely

women and they're walking around and I think to myself, you know, they're just

not trying hard enough.

Or maybe they're trying too hard.

Lexi, sometimes walking away is the sexiest thing you can do.

You just like to watch my butt.

There is that.

But people don't like to feel scared.

And when you come on strong, some men run away.

Yeah, but, I mean, if I walk away first, do you really think that they're going

to follow me?

I think your hour's up.

Thank you, Lewis.

I think I got a handle on this now.

You know, if there's any way that I could return the favor...

I want to talk to Dr. Burns. Where is he?

He's not here right now. No, he's not at the apartment either. So he is either

at the club or he is here in this building somewhere. I want to talk to

Where is he? Why don't you leave him a message?

Message? Cut!

Take it easy, man. What's the problem? No problem.

It's called security.

Yeah,

yeah, we're okay.

Guess he's not here either, huh?

Hey, any messages?

Hey, Peter, I'm on my way.

No, it's not Peter, Amanda. It's Michael. Look, Kyle is out of rehab.

What do you mean, out of rehab?

He's also out of control, and he's looking for Peter like he wants to kill

Wait, what are you talking about? This isn't making sense.

Yeah, well, maybe not, but I think he's heading down to the club now, and I...

Just hope Peter's not there.

We were so good together.

Oh, Michael.

And in a reversal of a huge sexual harassment lawsuit, Dr. Michael Mancini

just settled with Wilshire Memorial Hospital for $2 million.

Now, I have no real feelings toward the hospital. I only hope that this poor

little nurse who made all these false accusations against me will get the help

she needs to get her head screwed on straight again.

We'll see who gets screwed.

Why aren't you in rehab?

What the hell's the matter with you?

You're sleeping with my wife and I'm going to kill you. You lost your mind.

I'm not sleeping with your wife.
