Original subtitles

Oh, you are such a big woolly buddy. You've never seen me this early.

Lexi, we should try to keep this a bit more professional.

So, I'm going to Santa Barbara with Megan for this new Century Brides client

conference. And should I feel guilty? Do you feel guilty?

Well, I mean, I think a woman has a right to pursue her Mr. Right, don't

Mr. Right? Well, that's an interesting concept. Do you think there is a Mr.

Right?

Well, I mean, according to my very sophisticated and expensive survey,

And I found mine. It's Ryan McBride.

Wait, wait, wait.

You don't mean Megan Lewis's Ryan. Doctor, if Ryan's my Mr. Right, he can't

Megan's too, right?

So when I break them up... Break them up?

Lexi, I think maybe we need to talk about aggression.

Wait a minute.

I don't have to feel guilty.

I'd actually be doing her a favor.

She won't be wasting her time on the wrong guy when she should be out there

pursuing her own Mr. Right. I think maybe we need to revisit this entire

concept. You know, I spoke to three of Ryan's ex -fiances.

They all had the same story.

Each of them asked him to marry her. He said yes.

And he goes on this surprise business trip, comes back and calls it off.

I think that's a commitment phobia, don't you?

Commitment phobia?

It's not a term I like to throw around.

So here's my plan.

I'll just get Megan to ask him to marry her.

He'll say yes.

He'll go away, come back, and I'll call the whole thing off.

And then I'll move in.

Lexi, your time's not up.

Please take off your coat.

There are certain things to be considered, even if you do get Ryan

you. Oh, I've already figured that one out. I mean, once I've got Ryan, I won't

be stupid enough to ask him to marry me.

I mean, why should I?

When a woman has Mr. Right in her bed, she doesn't need a ring on her finger.

How could I ever live without this?

Well, luckily, you don't have to.

Nothing's ever going to break us up again.

Oh!

The roof is leaking. I am going to kill Michael Mancini. This is his fault. No,

baby. For seducing Megan and crashing through. It's just the roof.

That I paid good money to have repaired, and it's obviously not.

You know what? I could be in Boston right now, miserable.

You gonna let a little rain and a leaky roof ruin my happiness?

Oh, God.

Oh, what now?

Just the person I want to strangle. The ceiling in my bedroom is leaking, and

it's all your fault. Hey, upkeep of this building falls under your bailiwick,

landlady. Now, this list includes my clogged shower nozzle and the

outlets in my kitchen.

And how's a bachelor supposed to make coffee?

I see you've got some.

You don't mind if I help myself, do you? Well, as a matter of fact, I do.

Hey, I'm sorry to bother you. The pipes in my apartment just burst again.

Oh, Megan, you look cold. Coffee's warm.

Michael!

You're supposed to be in Boston. Does Ryan know you're here?

I was going to call him and tell him the good news.

Hey, the heat's out in our apartment.

Peter, Eve, hey, try this coffee. It's got that vanilla flavor. It's great.

Oh, well, pour it up.

I'm going to start charging for coffee.

Hey, Pete, I want to say thank you for the helicopter, for everything.

Oh, yeah.

It's good to be friends again.

I don't know what the chances are for those two.

I'll put your complaint on the list.

Amanda, how long are you going to shut me out?

Just talk to me. If that's why you're here, you're wasting your time.

You know, the temperature in our apartment is just about as cold as that

I'd appreciate a repairman today.

Just keep it where you lie.

I've tried to sleep, but it won't stop glowing.

Black and white.

We've done this more often, gotten away ourselves.

Yeah, from now on, we talk about everything.

Yeah, whatever bugs us, we can't let anything fly.

I just can't believe I had to hit bottom and end up in rehab to figure that out.

You know, this is the first time that I've taken a hard look at all the images

that I was trying to live up to.

My dad's expectations, the Marines, feeling like I had to be perfect.

I always felt like I would lose you if I disappointed you. I don't want

perfection. I want you.

You have just enough annoying habits to make you human and lovable.

Amanda, about the baby.

We will have our family.

I want to take our time.

I don't want to rush anything that important again.

And while we take our time, we should do this more often too.

I can't find my brown pumps. Oh, come on. Our meeting starts exactly at 10 o

'clock. I know. Hey, your pipes are from the Stone Age. Tell the landlady to

replace them all.

I can't work miracles.

You know, I think I pay you enough to rent a place with decent plumbing.

Well, I'm hooked on the building. It's charming.

Charming. This place needs an overhaul, and it's filled with obnoxious people.

Hey, Megan, have you seen my briefcase?

Hi. It's under the couch. Did you talk to Kyle?

Uh, yeah. We're going to hook up later. Passion and resort.

Single camp.

Would have made a hell of a campaign.

We agreed not to talk about what happened there.

Oh, yes, getting drunk and doing the nasty in the closet all night was

memorable. But we both know it was an error in judgment.

Hey.

Honey. Honey, I'm sorry. Do you have my brown pumps? They're hanging from the

shower, Robin. Oh, God. What are you doing there?

Oh,

my shoe.

I was looking for this.

Okay.

Okay, you guys stop, please.

Half your stuff is in his place and half of your stuff is over here?

And you're both paying Amanda rent?

You guys, she's laughing all the way to the bank.

It's time to make the big commitment.

What? It's not a four -letter word. It's a beautiful thing.

And if any two people should do that until death do us part, well... Lexi,

worry about our own love life.

Thank you.

See you later. How could you do that?

Honey, be smart.

There are thousands of female sharks in the dating waters.

They're Ravenous and Ryan of Topps or Lorne. You want someone else gobbling

up? You know what? I have no intention of letting anyone else gobble. Well,

you better reel him in.

Honey, he's the real McCoy. Or shall I say, real McBride.

Now, come on. Our new Century Bride clients will wait.

You know, it's like you picked this account on purpose. As if I could do

New neighbor.

I'm Brad.

Oh, hi. I'm Jane. The lamp goes in the living room. I just moved in down the

beach last week.

Man, I heard the most beautiful women lived out here, and looking at you, I

guess it's true.

Hope you packed a bikini.

Kind of busy, Bill.

Perhaps.

Well, I'm paying the movers by the hour.

No man lightening your load, huh?

Excuse me?

Let me show you where that goes.

I'll stop by later.

Drop off a map of Malibu.

Watch the corner. Thanks. You can just center it on that wall right there.

Great. Jane.

Amanda. Oh, how nice of you. You didn't have to come all the way out here.

Oh, yes, I did.

Ryan left all the balls in the air while I was in the hospital. Now the clients

want me to catch them.

Anyway, the figures are due on your museum account, and they can't wait till

tomorrow.

You said I'd have time off to move.

Well, it looks like you've moved. You can always unpack later.

Amanda. Jane, you have a mortgage to pay. You can't afford to lose your job.

By the way, did you know our new house will be just a half a mile down the

Pretty soon we'll be neighbors again.

Wow.

That'll be great.

BP, 90 over 60.

Respirates at 120.

Carol?

Sort of like a lot of lactated ringers for that lady, please. Thank you. Henry?

This man needs me to pair it to Neil Lavage, and let's get Dr.

Jensen here to do a clinectomy, please.

That's going to room two.

Nerd, alert county hospital.

These patients will be routed. Oh, my God. I thought I felt a cold wind blow

Uh, Dean, ignore the wicked witch of neurosurgery. She has no authority.

For your information, Dr.

Mancini, I'm head of peer review for Good Hope Conglomerate now. Oh, the

growers who just bought the hospital. How do you sleep at night?

Don't joke, sheep.

Nurse, call county. These cases do not belong at Wilshire Memorial.

Well, because they don't carry insurance and the conglomerate can't make money

off this tragedy.

Look, I'm the first man to make a quick buck. We're not at the risk of losing

patients' lives.

Dr. Burke.

Sorry to bring you to your coffee. Thanks. I'm sure the chief of staff is

of hospital policy. I thought you went corporate. What are you doing here? He's

trying to wipe out the Hippocratic Oath by moving the uninsured. You know, my

dad's laid off his job.

His insurance stopped. Are you going to let him die because he's poor?

No, son. Your dad's not going to die.

I don't want any patients transferred. We'll treat them here.

Oh, wait a minute. I have the authority to... The chief of staff makes the

decisions. Now, you either scrub up and get ready for surgery, or I suggest you

move. You're in the way.

We'll see about that.

Peter, I'm very proud of you, but you do remember that Dr. Simmons is a pit bull

of revenge.

Don't worry, I haven't forgotten.

All right, let's get to work.

Come on, let's go.

Let's put her in fourth.

Jack,

you have to speak up. I can't hear you.

No, I was just thinking about that trip that we were going to take, you know?

To get away, start things fresh, and have an adventure, you know?

How are things going with Peter?

Well, they're great, thanks to you.

That's good.

That's good.

Um, I gotta go, Eve.

But I'm really happy for you, okay?

Jackie, you never told me why... Jackie!

Eve, I heard you want to talk to me.

Yeah.

Oh, I was just wondering if, uh, if I should be clearing my stuff out or if I

still had a job.

Well, you know, I mean, you know, the first time you hired me is because

pushed you, but now, since things are different, I... Kyle, doesn't she

know how sorry I am?

Then it's time you branch out.

I'll start playing some other clubs.

Yeah, I'll, um...

I'll get my stuff out of the dressing room.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, right.

Well, whatever Amanda wants, Amanda gets. Isn't that right, Kyle?

I used to work construction in high school summers.

Good memories being outside working with my hands, seeing nothing grow to

something. Quickly, I hope.

Hey, when do you think we can move in?

I figure ten months, maybe a year.

Oh, we were thinking the end of summer.

Yeah, well, that was the original date, but the place got burned down, remember?

Had to switch lots, lost some time. How do we get it back?

Oh, say, a hundred grand might save a few months, huh?

Yeah, right, in our dreams.

Can we look at the plans and see if we can speed things up?

Kyle,

what do you think if we can simplify the kitchen?

Put it up!

Hey, he does look like he belongs out here.

Are we good or what?

Didn't lose a one.

Very good, Michael, I must say. Very good.

You know, working all night like that reminds me of why I became a doctor in

first place.

Contrary to popular opinion, it was not the money.

But a chance to help people.

Save them.

Be a hero. You know, super surgeon to the rescue. Is that crazy or what?

You know what sounds crazier? All night I'm thinking of my old man in there.

He never had insurance.

Never had checkups. Thought it cost too much.

Never know. Maybe he didn't have to die when he did.

Hey.

Hey, the nurses told me about your all -night surgery.

I'm so proud of you.

Hey, I was there, too. Don't I get a hug?

Yeah, sure, Michael.

Down, Michael.

How'd it go with Kyle?

Um, well, we decided I'd pursue singing at another club. He fired you? I'll talk

to him. No, no, no, don't. Really, I'm okay.

Ah, Dr. Burns, may I have a few words?

In private?

Anything you want to say to me, you can say in front of Dr.

Mancini and my wife.

Another wife?

Oh, you don't know when to quit, do you, Burns?

My sympathies.

Dr. Burns, it's been brought to my attention... I can guess who brought it

your attention.

Michael. That you cost the hospital over $100 ,000 in the last 12 hours.

Seems that of the 15 people injured in the accident, less than half were

insured. And as chief of staff, it's your duty to think of the welfare of

hospital. Um, I thought it was the welfare of the patients that came first.

You know, saving lives.

How many lives did you save ordering the Medivac helicopter for Amanda Woodward?

Two. I'd love to see the charts.

And Dr.

Mancini, your recent $2 million sexual harassment suit that Dr. Burns was

instrumental in settling, did that save lives, too?

Things are going to change around here, gentlemen.

Be prepared.

Mr. Denhoff?

She hates you. Why?

Well, it was a nasty fight to get this cheapest staff job.

Yeah, Shulman tried to put her boy toy in as chief of staff.

You know, she's basically just a tight -ass, power -hungry woman who wants her

own way, which is to get Peter buried.

Will she get it?

No, don't worry.

There's nothing Shulman can use against me.

I'm sorry I'm late. Traffic was a nightmare.

Can't sign off on the roof repair, Miss Woodward. Why?

After the big quake, buildings this size had to be brought up to code. Section

91 -101 of the L .A. Municipal. So I can't sign off on the roof repair

the roof's not properly supported according to code.

Well, if you don't sign off, my insurance is in jeopardy.

Would $100 help?

I have to report offers like that?

Oh, no. I was just offering for your expert advice.

I mean, there's got to be something I can do.

You can apply for a three -month stay of decision if you show work scheduled to

begin within 30 days.

So how much will this retrofitting cost?

Building this size, I'd say neighborhood of about 80, 100 ,000.

You've got to be kidding.

Michael. Hi. Have you seen Ryan? No, no. Megan, let me ask you something.

Do you think I'm shallow?

Shallow? Yeah, like the surf. No, I think just the opposite. I think you're

of deep.

You do? Yeah. You're never satisfied. You always want more out of life. You

the biggest heart. And you know what, deep down, you think of other people's

happiness almost as much as you think of your own. Oh, Megan, you really

understand me.

Listen, let me get another beer, and a white wine for the lady will be at that

table. I thought you had to meet Ryan. Yeah, yeah, I like Ryan just fine. Come

on, sit down.

He reminds me of a square -jawed narc sometimes.

Do you guys have to make love by a manual, actually?

You're so bad.

Why?

He's very inventive. Yeah, well, he does have the Mancini moves, though. I mean,

if I could patent those, you know, I'd be a millionaire.

Right? You know, remember the man?

A little up there, a little down there.

Hey, Mancini, no horning in on my date.

Oh, excuse me.

But may I remind you that I know Megan a hell of a lot longer than you do. Did

she ever tell you how we first met? Don't you have some place to be? No,

actually, I have time. Thank you.

Now, I was running along the beach. This blonde vision shows up, starts running

along beside me. We start talking, liking. Before you know it, we're

the hay. Michael, I don't think Ryan needs to hear that. What? I'm the one

married you, made an honest woman of you. What has he done for you, huh?

You got the wedding willies there, bucko, huh? See?

Oh, Michael, just the man I want to steal away from this happy couple.

I want to dance with the doctor.

I thought you swore off doctors.

Every now and then I need a fix.

See what it's all about. I hardly know you.

Yeah, well, Ryan and Megan need a little time alone, all right?

They've got some really important things to discuss.

Commitment things. Oh, really? Well, it's not going to last. You know why?

Because Megan's got a wild streak, and that soda jerk is going to cramp her

style. Yeah, well, that soda jerk is the kind that women marry.

For keeps.

Oh, and I'm not.

Honey, you're not exactly happily ever after material.

Oh, you know, I resent that. I resent that because I want the whole fairy

Yeah, Michael, well, wanting it and being capable of it, honey, is two

things.

Let's face it, you're not exactly a Ryan McBride.

It's weird not having a singing gig to go to at night and staying home.

A lot of couples do it, you know.

You know, we can go to bed early, have sex, watch the late show, have sex

Don't look so excited.

I'm sorry.

Look, Eve, you don't need Kyle. You don't need Amanda. You're very talented.

Well, I keep telling myself that. I just...

Having a hard time getting myself to believe it.

Amanda and I have been best friends since the first grade.

We were inseparable.

I hated my life. She let me share hers.

I... I guess I was so busy being grateful I didn't realize how jealous I

She even had you before I did.

Oh, come on. Amanda and I are friends. We tried something together. It didn't

work for either of us.

Oh, God, I don't want to see anybody tonight.

Oh, my God!

Jackie!

I'll get an ambulance.

Come here, Jackie.

Come here. It's going to be okay.

It's going to be okay.

I got your message that you wanted to buy me breakfast.

I want to know how long you're going to carry this grudge against Eve.

Amanda. I appreciate what you've done for Kyle and me, but Eve crossed the

She made a mistake.

The whole thing was an accident.

Well, maybe it was subconscious, but she wanted to hurt me.

Eve is here this morning. A friend of hers from prison got beat up.

Eve's with her. If you ask me here to try and trap me into talking to her,

not going to work.

Amanda.

She needs you.

She should have thought about that before she tried to destroy me.

Nice job, people.

Super surgeon finishes up another day.

Dr. Burns, why don't you know the auditors are here for a surprise audit?

yeah? So what do I care?

He said to tell you they're checking into all the hospital books, budgets,

expenses, charities, like the Children's Foundation.

Children's Foundation?

I didn't even tell me that before.

Um,

excuse me, but are you auditing every last penny of every hospital account?

Yeah, and I'm thorough.

You got a problem with that?

No.

I got it. Don't even

think about it, Michael.

Peter, listen, I'm in big trouble here. These artists are going to find out that

I borrowed all that money from the Children's Foundation.

I'll be ruined.

I paid it back.

You did?

Oh, Peter, you're a giant among men. No hugging. No hugging, Michael. I mean,

but my career, my life, it passed before my very eyes.

I saw myself on a chain gang being wiped to some bubba, but now... Oh, Peter,

how can I ever repay you? I think just cloning yourself. You've got a lot to

back. Oh, and I'm going to pay back every cent.

What did I do to deserve such a good friend?

I didn't do it for you, Michael. I did it to piss Shulman off. Her and her bean

counters. She wants to dethrone me, and I'm not giving her the satisfaction.

me to find that job, I'll lend you money.

At least in prison you knew that you had a roof over your head and three meals a

day. You figured who to stay away from so that you wouldn't get beat up.

Well, you did know your way around.

Guards, cafeteria staff, they made my life a little easier.

You know, when they told me my second time in that I would be rooming with a

murderer, I was shaking in my boots.

But he turned out okay.

So, Dr. Burns married an ex -con.

Now it's not just indigence he wants to save, but murderers and thieves, too.

The man must have quite a savior complex.

You have no right to listen in on a fight. Hospital business?

Oh, but I do.

Another uninsured patient under Dr. Burns' care.

As chief of staff, he should be more circumspect in his choice of spouses.

Hey, you can't use my past against Peter. It's not fair.

I never let an opportunity slip by.

This is my fault.

No.

No, don't worry.

I'll take care of her.

Eve, don't do anything.

If you get in trouble, you're going to go back inside.

You know that.

Let me handle it.

Ever since I was a little girl, I fantasized about this.

Big wedding, big dress.

Oh, can you just say it one more time?

Mm -hmm.

Mrs.

Ryan McBride. Oh.

Hi. Started a bar gym, but I felt like doing dinner and a movie, and I wanted

do it with a girl who thinks I'm so deep. So are you free? No, I'm not. Ryan

I are going to Jane's housewarming party at the beach. Jane's having a

housewarming party? No, I didn't want to bum you out.

I guess she decided not to include me on her friends list, huh? You know what? I

will always be your friend.

Oh.

I'm sorry, but the last time I checked, it said Sterling Conway Enterprises on

the door, not come in and cop a feel.

I'm leaving.

Bye.

Oh, you know what? I've been thinking about what you said about me not being

happily ever after material. Yeah. Yeah, and it's something I wanted to say back

to you.

Look who's talking.

I don't know why anybody finds him attractive.

And you, you are absolutely certifiable.

You know you're endangering your relationship with Ryan every time you

little weasel grope you. He wasn't groping me, and I don't know why you're

taking this so personally. Because I'm your friend, and you're wasting time.

You love Ryan. It's time to make the commitment and marry him.

Why does everyone keep bringing up marriage?

Oh, don't tell me it hasn't crossed your mind.

Megan, I don't want you to miss your opportunity.

You know, if Ryan was my Mr. Right, I would move heaven and earth to make him

mine. Ask him to marry you.

Do it tonight.

Peter, Jackie's gone.

She's what? Dr. Schulman overheard us talking.

She knows we were both in prison. She said that she was going to use the

information to ruin you.

You let me deal with Shulman. Peter, I'm just afraid Jackie's going to do

something stupid.

You know what I'd like to make a toast?

To Jane's new life.

I love you guys, but I gotta tell you, I don't miss pulling your laundry out of

washing machines or running out of hot water or knowing who's sleeping with

Absence does make the heart grow fonder. I can totally relate to that sometimes.

How about all the time?

I didn't know you felt so strongly about it. I just get tired of everybody

knowing our business. Looking in, listening in, watching people vacuum in

underwear. What?

Nothing.

Well, I love the building because that's where I met you.

I didn't want to say anything when we didn't have any place to go, but now we

do. Our house on the beach. It's quiet, private, just like this.

Since the previous owner added an extra bedroom, you'll all be issued guest

passes, but not to be used too frequently.

Oh,

you know, I was thinking about adding steps up the deck to the beach, and I

could never get Michael to do it. Does anyone know an inexpensive handyman type

that's, you know... You're looking at one.

Kyle. Yeah, that's right. You love doing construction.

He's pretty good at it, too. What about the club?

I was thinking about pulling back from the club anyway.

I'll get an assistant manager. Mario can pretty much run the restaurant.

I'd love to work with my hands. I can build a house for the day and snag some

wood for Jane's steps.

Did you look at my financial statements that I put on your desk?

Um, yeah, I had those clients to deal with. I thought they were a priority.

No, I'm your priority. I need to juggle paying for the retrofitting of the

apartment building and find enough money to get our new house done quicker.

I want an answer tomorrow.

She's pretty direct, huh? Well, she knows what she wants. And I want to take

walk on the beach.

Oh. I'm not responsible for my actions out there because it's pretty romantic.

Romantic is just what I'm looking for.

Don't move, bitch.

Now turn around.

Oh, God, please don't. Please. How does it feel? Now you're scared. Now you

shake.

It feels pretty rotten, doesn't it?

Jackie. Jackie, it's me, Peter.

Honey, put the gun down. This isn't going to do any good.

Why shouldn't I just kill her? She's Eve's problem. She's your problem.

No, no. Trust me now. I'll take care of Eve.

Give me the gun. I can't do that. I need her wheels. Car keys.

Jackie.

Jackie, don't do this.

Jackie, listen to me.

Jackie!

Are you all right? Is that how you met your wife? She steal your beamer?

I'm going to bury you, Burns. You're through.

Can I have a drink?

No.

You're always insulting me.

I'll have a stinger. Right away?

You're in a bad mood.

That figures.

You're a loser at love.

I am not a loser.

Just a rat in timing.

And that's the difference between winners and losers, isn't it?

Timing.

Really? That's right.

Look, Jane and I got married when we were too young.

And Kimberly, I married her just on the brink of her going psycho.

And Sid was just more interested in being a madam than she was my wife.

Then Kimberly again, but at that time she was terminally ill.

And then came Megan. I was really in love with her.

But, well, I cheated on her. She left me.

Then when Coop finally dumped her and she told me that I was her one true

Jane came back in town and we got engaged.

Now that Jane's left town, Megan thinks she loves Ryan.

And they could be married.

Hey, Michael.

That's not going to happen.

My family isn't in love.

I am so happy for Jane. It is so beautiful out here, but... But what?

But like you said, it's just so romantic. It's too romantic of a place

alone.

I guess I just don't want to live alone anymore.

You don't?

I love you.

And I think what we have is special.

And I can't believe I'm even thinking about this again.

Thinking about what, Megan? Thinking about spending my life with someone.

a commitment. No, no, no, no.

Please don't ruin everything.

I'm sorry. I thought we were feeling the same way.

Just got really cold out here.

I didn't mean it to sound like that.

Maybe I'm old -fashioned or something, but I'd like to do the asking if you

don't mind.

I'd love to spend the rest of my life with you.

Would you marry me?

Yes.

Did they find Jackie?

No.

What did the police ask you?

Just the details. I tried to keep your name out of it, but I don't know what

Shulman's going to tell them.

I can only imagine how she's going to present this to the board.

I'm sorry. I'm a good chief of staff, and I'm not going down without a fight

here. This is all my fault. If I would have just gone and... No, we're not

giving up an inch here.

You're going to stand next to me, and I'm going to show them how proud I am

you're my wife.

We're going to come out on top here.

Guess what?

Ryan and I are engaged.

Oh, you go, girl.

So did you propose to him?

Well, I started to, and then he proposed to me. It was incredible.

Wait a minute. He proposed to you?

That's not right.

Listen, I'm thinking about a June wedding, something very traditional.

Hey, where are you going? I thought we'd stay in bed and celebrate all day.

I'm going to New York for a few days.

Business.

New York?

Listen, I'm going to call you back.

Ryan has to leave to go to New York on a sudden business trip.

Mm -hmm.

Good boy.

You go to New York, because the sooner you do, the sooner you'll come back and

dump Megan.

Then you and I can live happily ever after.

I'm so happy. I want to have an engagement party. I want to tell

even want to tell my mother.

Am I freaking you out?

No.

No, you're not freaking me out.

I want you to be happy.

I want us both to be happy.

I'll be back before you know it.

Ryan, wait.

What money figures did you come up with?

I have to go out of town. We'll talk in a couple of days. I didn't assign you a

business trip. I'm taking personal days.

This is not a good time.

Amanda, my plane leaves in an hour. I'm sorry.

Well, I need to know now.

You have a second mortgage on the building, which means you can't take out

third. And the only other option is to liquidate stocks. And the market is

volatile right now, so that's not a good option.

So? So it means that you're going to have to choose one or the other. I got

go. Well, this is not what I want to hear.

Amanda, do you have a patient bone in your body? Hold onto your assets.

Even ones with dicey heat and bad plumbing.

Move into your dream house at Christmas.

Is that so hard?

Yes.

You're going to have to learn to live with it.

It's him again.

He's been over every day with some lame excuse. Let's see.

Map of Malibu, saltwater taffy from the marina.

I was never housed when I was here with Michael.

It's because you looked unavailable.

We'll get the rest of the stuff. Okay.

Jane, wind's good.

Want to fly?

Look, Bob.

Brad. Oh, sweetheart, that was the best deck that we

have ever had.

Oh, we got company.

How you doing?

Jane's boyfriend.

We'll be spending a lot of time out here at the beach.

Wait a minute.

Are you Brad?

Thanks for the taffy, man.

Had a couple of pieces in bed last night. It was good. It was good.

Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.

Okay, well, catch you on the beach.

Maybe.

That was brilliant.

Thank you. Yeah, you have no problem.

Did you see his face?

Jackie, what are you doing here? You have to get out of town, maybe even

the country. Eve, I know where I belong.

Throw that car, because I want to go back in.

Inside, I know how to maneuver. I can handle things. Out here, I can't. You

don't mean that.

Peter and I, we're going to get you a good lawyer. I'll loan you money. We'll

make it work somehow. No, Eve, you can't change my mind.

The cops are on their way right now. I called them.

I just wanted to say goodbye.

Don't do this.

Please don't do this.

Jackie. Eve, you can make it.

Don't give up.

Tell that fat cat doctor she can find her car at the bottom of the L .A.

Mr.

McBride, what are you doing here?

I came to see Sarah.

It's late.

Visitors are not allowed.

Come back tomorrow.

I promised not to wake her.

Please.

Yeah You've seen her you can't stay let me sit with her for a minute she is my

daughter

Allison, Billy.

What are you doing here?

My big surprise.

I'm buying the building. I mean, Dad and I are buying the building. But I'm

going to live here and manage the place.

I don't believe it.

Yeah, this is wonderful, isn't it?

Great investment, great friends.

I think I'm really going to love it here.

What are you doing down here?

Remembering.

Remembering the day I bought this place.

The big mistake.

Yeah.

It's weird.

When I bought the building, I told everyone the big hopes and dreams I had

it. But the truth is, I was using it to get into everyone's lives.

And in the end, everybody got into yours.

You know, you'd think I'd have all these happy memories, but all I can think of

are the bad things that happened here.

Brooke dying in the pool. Oh, yes.

And Kimberly blowing up the place.

You, in your days.

Possessed by a building.

You think it's possible?

It's possessed me.

And you're right.

It's wrecking our lives.

I think it's doing more than that. I think it's wrecking our dreams.

And I don't mean just financially.

I want to finish our house.

I want to have a family. I want to move into the house.

I think we need to get our careers in perspective. Start living for each

not for our jobs or for your tenant.

And there's only one thing left to do.

It's got to be your decision.

I can't find it. Are you sure?

I'm positive. You're not doing this just for me?

No, I'm doing it for us.

Oh! I found it.

All right.

Why don't you do the honors?

Hello.

So this is it.

The end.

No, this is the beginning.
