Original subtitles

They're not my liquor delivery. Go away.

You know, you missed the 7 a .m. staff meeting. Oh, didn't I tell you? I'm

leaving this condo again.

Oh, come on. Be serious. Seriously?

I'm going to spend the rest of my miserable life right here.

Thanks to you, Brutus.

I, uh, I can explain.

It's not necessary.

Somewhere between the scotch and the vodka, I figured it out.

You added me to the blonde.

Not directly.

Honey, your fingerprints are all over my misery.

Look, I didn't mean to hurt you, okay? But what you did to Amanda was really

low. Well, thank you for your moral analysis.

Now get out.

By the way, you're fired.

Oh, fine.

And by the way, I'm the only friend you've got.

You really don't understand why I did it, do you?

I did it because I hate Amanda, okay?

It's right here in this living room that Peter tells me that he still loves her.

And nothing, not even my love for him, can fill the hole in his heart.

I'm sorry.

You know, Peter's everything I ever wanted.

I gave my body and soul to him.

I never thought I could love anyone like I love him, and then I lose it to a

man.

He doesn't even want him.

Lexi, I've been there.

And I know nothing I'm going to say is going to take your pain away.

If you need anything, you know, just a shoulder to cry on or a ride to

AA, you have my number.

Even if you are a traitor.

You know, once we get upstairs, tonight is officially going to be over. Oh,

then let's not. Let's pretend the pool is the ocean, the courtyard is the

and you can make love to me all over again.

That sounds good, but I hear that the landlady has a rule against public

displays of affection.

Oh, she sounds like a real bitch.

Are you two just getting in?

Yeah, we are. We had a lot to celebrate.

Oh, you won the award.

That's great.

Congratulations. Well, how was your night? Did you get together with Peter?

Don't you got to shower and get to work?

You go ahead. By the time the water heats up, I will be right there.

All right.

See you.

Bye.

Tell me everything.

Okay, there's not much to tell except I'm absolutely crazy about this guy.

never felt this way.

But... But what?

Well, it's been, like, forever since I made out with a guy, not to mention had

sex. Oh, Peter seems so experienced.

When the time is right, it'll happen.

I don't know why I'm obsessing about this like some kind of teenager.

Because you don't want to be the aggressor with Peter, especially when it

to time exactly.

Yeah, that's right. Let him think he's setting the pace. Yes. I could do that.

Good morning, ladies.

I was just calling you.

Oh, you were? Yeah.

I made little eggs for coffee, and I wondered if you wanted to join me for

coffee.

Go ahead. I'll catch up with you later.

Coffee would be nice.

Your place is nice.

Oh, thank you.

How do you take your coffee?

Oh, black.

Perfect.

Oh, your pager's going off.

It's a hospital.

Oh, does that mean you have to go?

Yeah.

You know, I was going to try to seduce you over coffee.

You were going to seduce me? Really?

Yeah, I was going to give it a shot.

How about my place? Tonight, 8 o 'clock. I will make all of your fantasies come

true.

That's okay.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's okay.

get a knockout but i got nothing to wear my favorite

I hear they're banging on the wall.

Yeah, yeah. I hired them to check on the load -bearing beams.

What's a load -bearing beam?

Well, I don't know.

But I've been hearing these loud creaking noises at night with all the

had last year. Well, the bottom line is that the foundation needs reinforcement,

and I've got to move out.

What were you doing at the beach house?

Picking up the rest of my stuff.

For how long?

A couple of months at least.

I thought maybe you'd change your mind about moving back in, but no, too bad.

Have you thought about me moving in with you? No, Michael. We're not going to do

that until after the wedding, remember?

Yeah, how could I forget?

I guess I'm looking for an apartment.

I guess so.

Well, good luck with your beams, and let me know when you find a place.

I love you.

Yeah, me too.

Malibu Engineers. Chris here.

Yeah, Chris. Hey, thanks for your cooperation, buddy. She bought the

The check will be in the mail.

You know, funny thing is, Doc, I took a look at the beams just for the heck of

it, and you do have structural damage.

We're talking the neighborhood alike, 50 grand.

Buddy, listen, Jane's not here. You don't have to play our little game

I'm not playing.

And you know what? I tried for at least a two -month lease on that apartment.

Hi.

Um, you left this on Lexi's table last night. I'm just returning it.

I don't want it. Ah, neither does Lexi.

Was there anything else?

I guess not.

You know, for what it's worth, um, what you did last night took a lot of guts.

It's worth more than you think.

By the way, Jane told me what happened in the ladies' room.

Thank you.

Don't mention it.

Especially to Lexi.

Ryan. Oh, hi.

Hi, it's nice to see you.

It is.

Yeah, good.

You haven't asked me out in a while.

Well, I kind of figured if I didn't ask you out for a while, maybe my luck might

change. Yeah, well, I guess we won't know until the next time you ask, huh?

Hey, Jane.

I saw this coming.

Oh, come on. It was purely a financial decision. Amanda offered me a discount.

No, you pushed your way into this building so you could spy on me.

Michael, when are you going to get off this kick about me and Alan?

It's not about you or me or Bozo. This is the only available apartment in the

city. Oh, right. I can hardly believe that, Michael.

Hey, what's up? I've been trying to reach you all day. You didn't return my

call. It's my day off. I haven't checked my machine.

Ah, well.

This can't wait. Can we talk in your apartment?

Sure. What's the matter with the courtyard? It's a beautiful night.

Michael.

Never known a doctor with so much free time.

You used me as your model?

No. You're the woman I've been designing for since the day we first met.

Yeah, but I didn't realize you were actually using my face and body. It's

of creepy.

I wasn't being flattered.

I don't know what I am.

Hey, Jane.

Sorry to break up the party, but I need to borrow some sugar.

Michael, this is pathetic.

No, it's not. I just made a pot of coffee. Remember, I have no sugar and

Come on, help out your fiancé here.

Kitchen. Thanks.

Alex, I've met a designer with so much free time.

Jane, I have something important to ask you.

Would you consider becoming my model?

I mean, the Alex Bastian model. I'm talking print ads, videos, the works.

Alex, no.

You'd be perfect.

And it'd be just like old times, working side by side, inspiring each other.

Boy, are you in for the brush -off. Flat out, Michael.

Come on, Jane.

For years you've been a pro to model. You never say yes.

You know, you hate the whole idea, the iconization of the female form.

Doesn't sound like the Jane I know. Oh, yeah?

Well, I think I know her a little better than you. Besides, no wife of mine is

going to parade her wares on newsstands.

Is that an ultimatum?

Yes, now that you mention it.

Where do I sign?

When do I start?

That should have been a flag. Flag?

You always were a sore loser.

I will get it while you two duke it out.

All right.

Hello? Peter's a half an hour late for our date.

Well, he probably got held up at the hospital.

No, he's not coming.

This is L .A. No one's ever on time.

No, I blew it. I told him that I'd make all of his fantasies come true.

Stupid thing to say, right?

No offense, but yeah.

Hey, babe, why don't you call him back?

It's a friend in need.

Oh, sorry.

I'll go up.

Look, Eve, Peter is very complex. He doesn't always do what you expect him to

do, which has nothing to do with the way he's feeling.

just the way he is. I know it's irritating, but... Eve, don't get

upset, but Peter's home.

You know.

We've already been over this. Hi.

Hang on. Come in.

Listen, we're going to have to iron all these details out in the morning. My

office. I don't have time right now.

My office in the morning.

Hi.

I'm sorry I'm late. I'm sorry. I got tied up with hospital stuff and that.

Sorry. I was just afraid.

What?

Forget it. No, no, no. What?

I was just afraid that you were standing me up.

Oh, no.

Oh, are you kidding? I've been looking forward to seeing you all day.

No.

Why don't I, uh...

You know, change and clean up and I'll... I'll come over to your place.

This is basketball.

Yeah. Take it back.

What? Take it where?

Take it out.

What am I supposed to tell Lexi when I'm late for work, huh? Tell her you're out

stealing accounts.

I think she'll like that.

Oh.

Whoa!

That's a foul, mister.

What? What'd I do?

That's what your hands were doing.

How come you know the rules all of a sudden?

Oh, I know more about the game you're playing than anyone.

I think you owe me a free throw.

All right.

Oh.

Hey, hold on.

Hey, you okay? Oh, my God, you're so cute.

You're one lucky fella.

You are cute. Thanks, man.

No identification.

Obviously an irresponsible owner. Oh, he's so cute. We can't just leave him

alone without food and water.

Take him home, put up some flyers, find his irresponsible owner.

Amanda has a no -dog policy.

You're going to tell her?

No.

No? No.

All right, I just, I'm not feeling all that comfortable.

Ow!

Thanks.

the dress they want for the cover. So try. We have to shoot this.

What's wrong now, Jane?

I think maybe somebody else will look better in this dress. You look

I don't feel beautiful.

How many times have I heard that?

You're in a $10 ,000 dress.

Well, maybe there's something wrong with me. There's nothing wrong with you.

You're perfect. Just stop fidgeting, that's all.

Jane, can I talk to you in private? I hate this, all right? Being told how to

smile and where to look and how to stand. This is not what I want to hear.

Jane. Can we just get this one shot? Just the one. Sure, but with another

I quit.

She doesn't mean it.

Is that your executive spin on the situation?

Well, I just hope this doesn't affect our working relationship.

Well, it's up to you.

You want my account, I want Jane. She wants Michael.

So change your mind.

Jane, how hard is it to put on a dress and flash a smile? I thought maybe you'd

understand. Well, I am trying. That's why I'm giving you the opportunity to

me what's going on. I just can't handle the way he looks at me, okay? All the

compliments. My God, Amanda, I'm engaged.

So what?

Do you know how many women would line up around the block to be worshipped by

Alex Bastian? That's just it. I don't want to be worshipped. It's messing with

my head.

Why? Because you're still attracted to the guy? Wouldn't you be?

I haven't been able to say no to Alex yet.

What if I never can?

Dump Michael and marry Alex.

Jane, wait.

Do you

think she's not

home or in bed?

I'm not sure.

We had to take the puppy for a walk afterward.

All right, let's just go for it on three. Ready?

One, two, three, go.

Here

you

go. Take him.

Well, come on in. Have a beer. No, no, no. You guys could probably use this

to bond.

Well, the three of us could do some bonding. No, no. That could only go to

trouble with Amanda, that is.

Good night.

Yeah. Good night.

Hey, don't you think about it. She's mine.

Oh, well, if it isn't Alex Bastian's new mom.

I thought you were mad at me.

At the moment, I just need to feel close to you.

Your place or mine.

Well, since we're already here.

How you doing? No one's in right now, so leave a message after the beep.

You're probably at the hospital. That's why you haven't called me back.

I have been thinking about you all day.

It's odd because I wasn't looking for a relationship, but now that we're

together, I have never been so happy.

Maybe I'll stop by your place on the way home.

Lay down with me.

Tell me no lie.

But hold me close.

Don't pay tonight.

Don't pay tonight.

Hey, this is private property.

I don't give a damn.

I have been a loyal employer, a respectful employer, but that doesn't

fact that all my employees are running around having romances while I'm stuck

cleaning up their messes. Amanda, if this has something to do with the photo

shoot, I... You lose one hot client and all the others follow.

I will not have you lose the Alex Bastian account. Excuse me. You can't

walk in here and start ordering us around. You will go to him, and you'll

apologize. Oh, no, no, no. No, you won't. And say what? You'll say, I'm

Alex. I'm sorry I was so difficult, so ungrateful, so... Go get out of here

before I call the landlord commission.

I'm leaving.

But you'll return your full modeling fee and reimburse Alex for all his expenses

after you apologize.

Now I remember why I couldn't wait to move out of this building.

Oh, Michael.

Oh, no.

What are you doing?

Trying to decide whether or not to knock.

Forget it.

We know he's not home.

And you know that how? Because he's avoiding me.

You were right. I move too fast.

Hell, you give a guy sex and he runs. Peter is not like that.

I've been down this road before. You know where it ended. Eve, men are not

enemy. You can't compare Peter to... I was such a fool to think he could fix my

life.

Maybe he can.

No.

Nobody can.

Not even you.

Peter. Hey, what are you doing here? I want to talk to you about Eve.

I know the two of you spent the night together.

What, did you read it in the building newsletter?

Don't hurt her.

Well, thanks for the vote of confidence.

Wait a minute. You are using Eve to try to make me jealous, aren't you? And

people call me arrogant?

Unbelievable.

Hey, what's happening?

Must be the power.

Peter, do something.

What would you suggest I do?

I don't know. Something.

Hey,

what's

up with the light?

Um, I heard on the car radio some sort of power outage. The whole city.

Damn.

I had a hot date tonight.

Oh, yeah? Lucky you. You know what happened during the New York blackout?

Everybody got... Watch out for the pole, man.

What's going on with Eve had nothing to do with you.

I had no right to suggest that. No, but... It's okay.

I like her.

Define like.

I'm attracted to her.

Don't ask for a definition.

Okay, how about a question?

Why haven't you returned any of her calls?

I don't feel comfortable talking to you about this.

Well, if we're in here long enough, you know I'll get it out of you.

Our marriage.

I thought this wasn't about me. It's not about you. It hasn't been about you

since I met Eve. It's about me.

You know, I always seem to screw things up in my life, especially when they're

going well.

Well, I think our marriage is a perfect example of that, wouldn't you say?

I think that's just one of several things that got in the way.

I never meant to hurt you.

I don't want to hurt Eve.

Then stop running.

Stop sabotaging the relationship.

Open yourself up.

I know you think that

you're always hurting other people.

But maybe that's how you protect yourself.

I'm not fooled.

I didn't know you played.

Yeah.

Uh, I'm waiting for Amanda. What's your excuse?

Don't let me stop you.

I just, you know, I never play in front of anybody, so... Except Amanda.

No, actually including Amanda.

We all have our secrets, right?

Yeah, and yours is safe with me.

I kind of like the song you were playing, though. It's kind of a

At least it used to be.

Thanks.

You seem kind of down. What's going on?

Oh.

The usual. Got carried away by my feelings for Peter. Now reality is

Yeah, I can relate to that.

I get carried away with my feelings for the guy, too.

I always feel like beating the crap out of him.

But, hey, that's just me.

I believe you fell in the pool.

Yeah, I know. I shook through the city or Amanda.

Relax. You know, there should be emergency lights around the pool.

Yeah, yeah.

Now, you know, I called you at the office and you weren't there. Did you

apologize to Alex?

You know, do you really want to talk? Because I don't. You're kind of sexy all

wet.

Oh, Jane, damn.

I left my TV and the clock radio in the car.

Oh, you better go get them. I hear there's been some looting in the

neighborhood. Really?

I better rush.

Hey,

hon, why don't you put on some dry clothes? That way I can take some off.

I'll be waiting in my apartment with candles and champagne.

Oh.

You know, Jane, on second thought, I'm kind of glad the lights went out.

First, put down the loop, put your hands over your head, and step away from the

car. Look, look, he got this all wrong. I'm moving into this building 4616.

You got a receipt for the items? No, sir, I've owned this television for six

years. I mean, how could I... Sure you have.

Look, I'm a doctor, for God's sake. You got a driver's license, doctor?

Or maybe a stethoscope?

Um, you know where you're going to find this hard to believe? When I fell in the

pool earlier, and my wallet is lying on my kitchen counter, drying in the

apartment.

In the building, 4616.

Hey, shouldn't you be out chasing some coffee and donuts, huh?

Maybe, uh, maybe, um, uh, hocking tickets to the policeman's ball?

You have the right to remain silent.

Give up that right. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the

court of law.

Doctor.

Is the wine okay?

Um, yeah, it's okay. It's good.

If you'd rather have warm beer, I could... No, no, the wine's fine.

Normally I'd put on some music, but since the power's out...

Truth?

Okay.

I feel a little uptight. I mean, I want to impress you, and it's...

Why? We're just friends.

I have an idea.

Come here, buddy.

Be right back, buddy.

Your bedroom?

I, uh, I agreed to dinner.

I know.

You coming?

Watch your step.

It's okay.

Okay.

Where are we going?

You'll see.

This is amazing.

I didn't even know you could get up here.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Amanda doesn't even know about it.

Hey, come here.

I want to show you something.

Ever since we, uh, well, our night in the desert, I've been fascinated by the

evening sky. I even went to the observatory.

See that star right there, that bright one? It's called Sirius. It's actually

two stars right next to each other.

I didn't know it made such an impression on you.

It did.

So did you.

You know what?

I have to tell you something.

Not again.

It's that you have this...

Thing that's in it for the long haul written all over you, and I'm not ready

that. What's wrong with the long haul? Nothing.

Nothing. It's me. I'm just not emotionally healthy or ready. You're the

healthiest person I know. You're just saying that because you want to sleep

me.

Thank you for everything. I better go.

Just like that?

You're so long.

My God, I thought you were Michael.

No, you didn't.

Alex, please.

Michael's going to be here any second. I don't give a damn.

Stop.

I'm sorry.

Just go.

Okay.

But you belong with me, Jane.

Both know it.

You know, one of my patients is a deputy district attorney. I call him, he calls

your boss.

Don't even start, pal. Not on a night like this.

Hey, I'm not your pal, okay? I'm a taxpayer, which means I pay your salary.

How do you thank me? By violating my civil rights, huh?

Subjecting me to false arrest.

I swear, if either of you try to strip search me... Hey, heads up!

Hey!

Freeze!

Hey, hey, this is my squad car.

It's wheels, baby. No one's going to touch me in this thing.

It's all good.

If Kyle were here, he would know what to do. Oh, Kyle, Kyle.

Yeah, such a handyman to have around. He can storm the beach for you or knock

out a gun when he's done. He can whip up a Spanish omelet, huh? You are really

getting on my nerves. You need to learn to relax, too. Why don't you take up

yoga or meditation? This is relax mixed with a little claustrophobia.

Okay, you want to get out of here?

Fine. You know, I might not be a Marine, but I got a couple inches on Kyle.

Put your foot in here. Come on.

You've got to be kidding.

In this skirt?

The only way out is up, baby. Come on.

Keep your eyes shut.

Please, I have seen it before.

Could you hurry up, huh?

You are so irritating.

Sorry. Okay.

There you go. That's it.

Good.

You all right up there?

I just may leave you in there.

Oh, it must be mine in my purse.

Hello? Who is this?

Who is this?

It's Peter.

Isn't it always?

Where's Amanda?

Actually, I'm looking up at her right now.

Hold on.

It's Carl.

Kyle. Whatever.

Hi, Kyle.

I was just trying to call you, but all the lines were busy. How worried should

be? Well, I was stuck in an elevator.

And where are you now?

I'm on top of the elevator. Where are you?

I'm at the club.

Well, you stay there, and as soon as I'm out of here, I will be right over. I

miss you.

You know, we really could give him a reason to be jealous.

Just kidding.

Attention all units. Attention all units.

Stolen police cruiser in the Melrose District.

Suspect is a Caucasian male, 25 to 35.

Mark here, mark eyes. Hey, they still got a couple of satellite dishes in

You want one?

Uh, no, no thanks. I think I'll stick with cable. Big mistake.

Don't forget, if the cops come around, you're my hostage, alright?

Oh yeah, you don't have to tell me twice.

Hi. You know what? I forgot my sweater.

Oh, cool.

I had a good time tonight, you know?

I mean, you know, even if things didn't turn out the way I hoped they would.

You know what? I'm, um... I'm not attracted to you, okay?

You're not even my type. You don't turn me on. You know, I don't even like dogs.

You did yesterday.

Well, you know what? That was your interpretation because I don't need the

responsibility or the hassle. You can just take the dog to the pound as far as

I'm concerned, okay? I don't care what you do. All right.

Stay out of my life.

And out of my way.

Fine. Yeah, don't bother thanking me tonight either.

We don't need her.

Megan. Megan.

Have you seen Michael?

Why, do you think it's me again? No, no. He went out to get something out of his

car and he never came back. His car's still there, but I have this feeling

something terrible happened.

Are you okay?

Why is it that the right guy always shows up at the wrong time?

Oh. Oh,

boy,

am I glad to see you guys.

You wouldn't believe the night I've had. Hold it right there. Give your hands

where I can see them. Up against the car.

No,

not again.

I guess.

For a woman who spent hours stuck in an elevator.

With her ex.

I'll explain if you promise not to get married.

No promises.

Well, um, I was worried about Eve.

Why? Eve is a grown woman. She can take care of herself.

Well, she and Peter slept together.

Ah, that would explain why she's down on love.

She came by when the lights were out. We talked a little bit.

Should I be jealous?

That's my question to you.

I know what Peter and Eve do is none of my business, but I sort of pushed them

together. Why?

Because Eve is crazy about him, and because it would be nice to have Peter

of our lives.

Wouldn't it?

In no fair, that's a trick question, right?

I suppose that's not fair either.

No, that's fair. It's just hitting below the bell.

Well, I like it.

Don't bother knocking. I'm not home.

Hi.

Listen, there's something I want to explain.

One night stand is self -explanatory.

Good night, Peter.

Wait, hold it. Please, look.

I sabotage everything good in my life.

And what we did, what we shared was... Well, it definitely falls in the

of something very good.

And I'd like to try it again.

You mean like a two -night stand?

No.

No, I'm thinking more along the lines of a... relationship.

I mean, like you said, we... we're together.

if it isn't the doctor and the showgirl.

Do I know you?

I'm Lexi Sterling, Peter's old flame.

Honey, take it from me.

The guy will use you, abuse you, and break your heart.

Lexi, just go home, please.

But it's so hot, and my air conditioning's out, and we don't have a

Hey, Peter, you want to go for a swim?

We can play Jaws.

I'll be the shark and eat y 'all up. You know what happened to that shark.

Oh, come on, come on, come on. Yeah, go. Take the night's while you can still

get him.

Hey, Peter, you don't mind if I use the pool, right? I've been taking swimming

lessons, and, well, I could use the practice.

Knock yourself out.

You had a relationship with that woman? She used to be nicer. I don't know. It's

a big mistake.

And what am I?

You are... You're just the best thing that's ever happened to me.

Tell me something, Ryan.

Are you going to watch me all night, or are you going to come down and do

something about it?

Spoil your fun?

I wouldn't dream of it, Lexi.

Good night.
