We're closed.

What are you doing here?

Jane's not at home or at the office, and I need her right away.

Is there a problem with your account?

As a matter of fact, yes.

Something I can help you with?

As a matter of fact, no.

Only Jane will do, and if you can't find her right away, I may have to switch

agencies.

I can find her.

Hell of a way to wake up. You want breakfast first?

Client first.

Sorry.

Oh, this is a nice wake -up call.

Life is so good these days, I'm afraid I was dreaming.

Maybe you should pinch me or something.

Ow!

Just checking to see that you weren't dreaming.

Look at this, right? We're never going to get out of bed. Yes, and you're

pointing. I gotta... I gotta go, so I can get back to you.

Or maybe you can come back to me now.

I didn't have something to think about at work.

You don't have a lot of wardrobe, do you?

I travel light.

What does that mean?

Just the clothes on your back?

Um, everything with Dolan, the last place I lived.

Two guys, a truck, they cleaned me out.

Actually, Amanda said that she would take me shopping with the first paycheck

got from the club.

Well, we don't have to wait for that.

Take my credit card.

No, Peter. That's not what our relationship is about.

If I thought that's what our relationship was about, I wouldn't be

No, I can't. Yes, you can. I really can't. I want you to. Peter, I...

It's okay.

I don't deserve you.

Really? I thought I was the lucky one here.

Michael, you look like a total wreck. I was up half the night.

Thanks a lot. My treat.

Have a nice day.

How did you get into this mess?

I was just minding my own business. Taking my TV from my car. When these

stormtroopers come up, throw me in an arm lock, and talk me into a paddy

I swear, I thought I was dead man walking.

You were worried, right?

Of course I was. I was up half the night looking for you.

Go home.

Yeah, let's.

Let's take the day off and spend it in bed, okay?

I'll call and stick it out.

Oh,

Jane, thank God I caught you. Get in. We need to talk.

Why? What is it? Just get in and I'll explain.

Michael, you stay here. This is business.

Look up.

All right.

This must be about Alex.

He needs you in Chicago to help get his spring liner.

Chicago? Forget it. Send someone else. He wants you.

Oh, that was obvious last night when he kissed me during the blackout. That is

in the category of more than I need to know. Kiss him, don't kiss him, just

the account.

Well, I'm not going to Chicago. I have a wedding in less than a week.

Jane, your job is on the line here.

Bastion is a huge client. If he's depending on you, you better damn well

him happy.

Besides, designing dresses is what you love to do, if I recall.

Come on.

All right, well, I guess it might be fun for a few days.

Well, I took the liberty of packing your bags. Alex will meet you at the

airport. Let's go.

Yes, ma 'am. Of course.

Excuse me. I'd like to say goodbye to Michael, if you don't mind.

Absolutely. As long as you don't miss the flight.

What are you two up to in there?

Michael, I have to go to Chicago on business for a few days.

Chicago?

Alex is getting his spring line out.

Bastion?

I'm telling you, Jane, that guy's luring you away to stop our wedding. He's like

the collector. He's going to lock you in a room. Michael, stop being

melodramatic. I'll call you as soon as I get there. I love you.

Jane, where will you be?

I don't know yet. I'll call.

We gotta meet the caterer.

Hey, how am I gonna get home?

I parked in Lot B.

I love you, Michael.

We found your flyer about the missing puppy.

We think it might be ours. Do you still have it?

Yes, it's across the courtyard. I'll take you there.

Sam!

Thank you so much. Thank you both.

We'll always remember this.

Come on, honey, let's go show mommy.

I'm going to miss that little pooch.

You, uh, you left your, um, earring at my place.

Oh, I wondered where it was. You can just leave it in the mailbox if you

Yeah, um, well, the dog's gone. The whole earring issue's settled. I guess

nothing really ties us together anymore.

Yeah, I guess not.

It's hard to remember whatever did.

Well, then I guess that's the end, isn't it?

Which is good. I like clean separations.

You don't have time for this. It's the middle of the morning. Oh, if the boss

can't take an hour off to help a friend, what's the point of being a boss?

This place is so expensive. What's Peter going to say when he gets the bill?

He'll say you're worth it.

Trust me, I know Peter. He wants to put you on a pedestal. You want to make him

happy, dress with flair. Of course I want to make him happy. He makes me

He better. Okay, let's start with his favorite color.

What do you think of this?

It's a little revealing.

Oh, it's what everyone's wearing.

Are you having fun yet? My best friend, Rodeo Drive, a credit card. Are you

kidding me?

Look how cute this is.

Thank you.

Oh, there you are.

Here's your law.

Actually, I own the whole building now.

Are you playing a bad joke on me?

Of course not. This is where we're going to work.

This is the place I was unfaithful to Michael with you. I mean, what did you

think would happen? That I would swoon at the memory? I'd fall into your arms?

Take me back to the airport, please. I did some of my best stuff in this loft.

You want me to change the way I work just because you're a little nervous?

I don't want you to change anything.

I want to go home.

Wait, please.

Let's drop the banter.

My spring line is terrible.

The show's in a week.

My whole career could go down in flames on this one. You've got to help me.

You don't want my ideas.

You want the memory of how it used to be. Fine. I'll take the memory if that

helps me get the line out.

Isn't that part of your job? To work closely with the client?

Amanda said it was.

Amanda will say anything to get what you want.

Hey, you're my advertising rep.

And you've got nothing to advertise if I don't put some nice clothes out there

in the market.

Alex.

I know you want more from me than work. Would you just admit it? Fine, I admit

it.

But right now, nothing is more important to me than getting this line out.

And if I have to promise you hands off to do that, then I promise.

Excuse me, is Amanda in there?

Actually, she just stepped out.

If you'd like to have a seat in the... Uh, this is a medical emergency, so do

you want to tell me where she is, or do I have to notify public health?

Uh, the bathroom. She's in the bathroom.

Thank you.

Michael, you can't come in here.

Why not? Isn't this one of those fancy corporate co -ed bathrooms? Oh, give me

break. Those things don't... Listen, Amanda... You said you wanted to talk to

her as soon as she called.

Hello, Jane?

Give me that.

Jane? Come get me when you're done. Are you the honeymoon suite at the Drake

Hotel? Michael?

Hi. I tried to call you, but they said you were in surgery.

I'm in Alex's studio. It's a madhouse here. The show's in a week.

But our wedding's in a week. I'm so sorry, sweetheart. This just couldn't be

avoided. You're going to have to make the final plans yourself.

Hold it, hold it. You're there with Alex, right?

And you do know that if you forget history, you're doomed to repeat it?

Michael, you said that you'd trust me.

If you do, there's no problem me being here. If you don't, then we shouldn't be

getting married anyway, right?

Is that a trick question, Jane?

Look, I'll be home for the wedding, and I promise I will call you. We can talk

every day. Now, please, let me speak with Amanda.

Well, only if you promise to stay at your parents' house in Chicago, okay?

Jane? Hello?

Jane?

Cell phones.

Eve?

Any clothes left in the store?

I bought too much, didn't I? You're angry. You know, I told Amanda these

were too expensive.

It's no problem. I'm kidding.

Do you like them?

Yeah. Oh, yeah. They're fine. Beautiful.

What do you think of this?

Oh, that's very... I think I would like that best off.

Hey, where the hell have you been? Get up there, go, sing.

Oh, sorry, I'm on my way.

I

think

she was giving Peter a special welcome home present, and that's why he probably

lost a little track time. Just a bad day for that, though. You see this guy over

here? That is the A &R for Red Moon Records.

He likes her, he's gonna fire her to a deal.

Good

evening.

Hi.

Could you sit me next to that?

Gentleman over there.

Certainly.

Oops, excuse me.

What a coincidence.

Do you eat her often?

Now and then.

You ever try this nail?

I don't like to eat things that crawl.

I like to give my food a running start.

Is that why you and Megan broke up?

Just too fast for you?

I wasn't aware that we were really together.

Yeah, you know, that's what she said, too.

Probably why she didn't seem so broken up over it.

If you're so unattached, maybe I could join you.

Maybe some other time.

I gotta get back to the office. Got a big report to get out this week.

Boy, Amanda's got you on a short leash.

There's a time for work and a time for play.

Speaking of playing, you didn't mention anything about our little encounter last

night at the pool.

Did you enjoy the show?

Waited for an encore, but it never came.

All you had to do was walk downstairs.

I'll keep that in mind.

There's a record guy out there that loves you. He wants to do a demo. Maybe

cut an album.

What? This is how it starts when you're on your way.

This time next year, you could be famous. We're talking about magazine

concert posters.

Where's Amanda?

She went home. She was tired. I can't do this.

You had no right to tell him I could do this. Listen, I know that record people

can be sleazy, but this guy, he's legit.

Give me a check. Five grand good faith money.

All you have to do is sign.

Fill out the paperwork and put yourself a security number down. How dare you?

Maybe I don't want to be famous. I don't need all of that. Okay. Maybe I'm happy

with my life the way it is. I love Peter. He's the center of my life. I'm

center of his. Can't you get that through your thick head?

Okay. I'll just tell him that you're not feeling well.

If you have anything to say, you can tell him yourself.

Nice vascular breath, Larry.

Get to the point, Mancini. I'm busy. Scalpel. Scalpel. Can you take my clinic

this afternoon?

What do I get? Four steps.

Four steps.

Saturday at Bel Air, 7 a .m. tea time.

Deal. Clamp that vein for God's sake, Jensen. It's bleeding like stink.

Yes, sir.

Clamp. Clamp.

You had another eight units ago, Meg. Ready? Oh, Jensen.

I need someone to cover me on a splenectomy tomorrow morning.

No can do, Michael. I got a case.

Well, you wouldn't want me to start talk about you and a certain nurse on Four

West now. Stop right there.

I'll take the splenectomy.

I knew you'd find it in your heart.

And you, sir, you take my evening rounds, and I would owe you big time.

And I always repay my debts with interest.

If you ever paid your debts on time, Michael, we'd all be a lot happier.

What are you doing here? You weren't scheduled for this surgery.

As chief of staff, I'm officially warning everyone in this room. Anyone

covers for Dr.

Mancini will have their privileges suspended.

Sorry, Mancini. You're on your own. I got a pass too, Michael.

You can't do this, Peter.

It's unconstitutional.

It undermines the very fabric of free market trading.

Oh, shut up, Michael.

Will you forget Chicago?

No. Get out of here.

I have to tell you all this.

I'm very disappointed in all of you.

Jensen, what on earth are you bopping on, Four West?

Megan!

Megan, are you all right?

Great I save you from drowning and you laugh at me

You weren't, like, waiting for me to show up before you did this, were you?

To see how I'd react?

Why would I care how you'd react to anything, let alone a leaky pipe?

It just seems a little strange that, you know, the moment I walk in, you throw

this little domestic emergency in my face.

Right, like I just sit and wait for you to come home so I can corner you. You

are so, so self -centered. No, I'm just not a big believer in coincidence.

Well, you know what? I don't play that game, all right?

You don't play at all, from what I can tell.

Have a feeling this life will last forever.

Have a feeling I'm falling in love with her.

Beautiful and red, say now or never.

Bring another drink and smile some more.

It's big, but hello. Can you explain this Eve thing to me, please?

What Eve thing?

A recording contract.

I told her about it and she turned it down cold. That doesn't make any sense.

Did she say anything to you?

First I'd heard of it.

She said it was connected to her being the center of Peter's life.

That happened kind of quickly, don't you think?

I mean, what's he doing? He's pulling some kind of Svengali number on him?

Love at first sight, I'd say. Ah.

Okay, so now you got the inside track on her feelings. That also happened kind

of quickly.

It's a girl thing.

A girl thing.

Is it also a girl thing to bag your career because your man wants you at

You don't do that.

You work all the time. So you want me to quit?

Are you saying that I don't have enough time at home? I didn't say that. Well,

what are you saying?

Okay, for you to button Eve's life, but not me.

Okay. Forget about it. Sorry I asked.

Okay.

Yeah.

No, I had the number for Alex's loft in Chicago, but I lost it.

Yeah. Okay. Thank you very much.

That's right.

Go ahead and call.

She told you not to, but by all means, call her. Get off my case. I need to

to her.

Michael, look.

Why don't you stop this, huh?

Why don't you concentrate on the bachelor party?

I'm going to throw for you.

You're going to do that for me?

Because I'm going to tell you something. I'm going to need it. And you'll be

best man, right?

Haven't I always been?

That sounds suspiciously like an insult. Oh, come on, Michael. Loosen up, will

you? This is men bonding.

I'm going to dinner at Kyle's.

Why don't you join me? I'll buy.

All right. Get out.

Get this off your mind. Oh, Peter, I forgot my keys. I'll meet you at the

Hello? Is anybody there?

Who was that?

Michael, probably.

Poor baby.

He's trying so hard not to crowd me.

We all are.

Maybe I should call him. I said I would. Pin this for me, would you?

Oh, sure.

He can be such a little boy sometimes.

Well, you'll be home on the red -eye in a couple of days.

Oh, by the way, your father called. We had a nice talk, and he said they can

take the same flight in with you for the wedding.

Oh, good.

You know, he told me he hopes this marriage to Michael lasts longer than

first one.

All right, we've done enough work for one day. Come on.

Let's have some wine and start thinking about dinner.

You're not pying me with drink, are you?

No, but I am setting the mood.

I have something for you.

No, no gifts. That might be misconstrued.

You have to open this one. It's your wedding present.

Wow.

I don't know what to say.

How do you like it?

I love it.

Well, here's more.

There.

Looks great.

How about that encore?

How about the whole second show?

What the

hell

is this all about? You know, what are you doing dancing with Lexi?

I'm rubbing my body against hers. With any luck, we'll make fire. That woman is

bad news. She hates Amanda. I don't even like her being in the club. Fine, we'll

take it somewhere else. No, you don't get what I'm saying, okay?

The woman is bad news. Why don't you just stay away from her? I don't believe

this. Now you're telling me who to go out with? No, Ryan. No, I am looking out

for everybody's best interest here, Ryan. Open your eyes. Your best

Kyle.

First Amanda warns me off Megan, now you're throwing in your two cents about

Lexi? I don't think so.

I do what I want.

Yeah, you do do what you want, no matter who gets hurt, right?

Huh?

Back off, Kyle.

watching me. Not long.

You okay?

Just not used to waking up in somebody else's bed, I guess.

Well, hopefully I'll get used to waking up here soon.

You sure you're not going to get tired of me?

No. I'm not going to get tired of you.

I mean, familiarity breeds contempt, right?

I guess so.

I'm having lunch with Amanda.

Dang, I can't really break that date.

Believe me, I understand.

No one wants to suffer the wrath of Amanda.

I've got to cancel our noon notes session. I'm meeting Kyle for lunch.

Oh, that's fine. I definitely have work to do.

Hello. Hey. Is this your private line?

Yes.

And I'm so glad you found it instead of the next drunk who sat down in that

booth last night.

Where'd you disappear to?

I had other things to do.

Kind of left me hanging.

Besides, the dance was over.

Dance? I thought we got married.

Honey, it takes more than that, even in L .A.

But you skinny -dipped in my pool. That's got to count for something.

That was just a one -night swim, baby.

Well, next time you're in my neighborhood once, you just drop by.

We'd need another blackout for that.

It sounds like you're taken with Eve. I can't believe how beautiful she is.

She's just beautiful.

She also has a combination of naivete, and she still has an edge to her, you

know? The best news is it sounds like you're actually getting over Amanda.

Amanda who?

Extremely healthy, Peter. Oh, please. I used to think I would see her out

places. Every minute of the day I was wondering, where is she? Is she with

Is she alone?

Is that Amanda and Kyle?

You mean you used to actually stop and traffic?

Peter, hi. Hi, hi.

This is Louis Visconti. This is Kyle and Amanda.

Hi,

nice to meet you.

Hi. I thought you were having lunch with Ethan.

No. I mean, yes, we were, but she had to cancel because she had to run some

errands. Oh, errands. Mm -hmm.

Well, have a nice day.

Bye. See you.

That was a vanda.

I had no idea she was so beautiful.

She's a heck of a liar, too. I mean, I know you've been obsessing about her for

over a year.

She's never had lunch with you.

Not that her objective beauty, you know, affects my opinion about your... The

story about running errands, that was bogus, too. I mean, just understand so

much better now what you've been going through. Get it together, Doc. I mean,

she's beautiful. I know.

Valhalla. Yeah, I'm calling about Eve Cleary. She listed you as the last place

she worked.

Never heard of her.

Could you check for me? What did she say she was, a waitress?

No, she's a singer.

Hey, buddy, we only got a jukebox here. No singers, no dancers, no animal

actors. Somebody made a mistake.

I guess it must be my place tonight.

I guess so.

How was your lunch with Amanda today?

It was good.

Yeah? Yeah.

Talked the whole time.

Oh, that's nice. What did you talk about?

Girl talk.

You know, Kyle and marriage and... Eve, you're lying.

I saw Amanda at lunch and you weren't there. She said you canceled.

I did.

And I was going to tell you... Don't lie to me.

I'm not lying to you. I just didn't... Just what?

Just... I just wanted to surprise you. Oh, well, it was a surprise, all right.

was buying you a present, okay?

It took a little bit longer than they thought. I had to wait at the jeweler's

through lunch.

Jeweler's? What are you talking about?

I'm sorry it's not wrapped. I was going to give it to you.

For Peter.

My love.

Never should have written those words. I know that. I mean, I was going to get

the engraving changed.

I just never had to say those words to each other. Ever had to say those words.

And I'm really sorry, Peter. I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry.

You know, I've ruined every relationship I've ever had in my life with

deception.

And I want to change.

And I need you to help me.

I want you to promise me... that we'll never have any lies between us.

Yes.

Peter, I promise.

If there's anything that you... that you have to tell me, anything at all, now's

the time. Just say it.

We got nothing to worry about.

Oh, Megan, hey.

Listen, I got a lot of work piled up on you today. I hope that's all right.

Yeah, it's fine. I got a big social I have to get in the way.

I'm sorry.

Sorry, you know, I'm proud of myself. I'm a confident executive surviving

without a man.

Oh, Megan, hear me roar.

You know, you really are the greatest role model for me. Proof positive that I

don't need a man to make it to the top. They're only going to bring you down,

girl. You want to have dinner tonight?

I can't tonight. I've got a merger thing happening.

Well, good luck.

Thanks. I'm going to take a lot of debt.

Hi. Hi.

I got some great prices for your party tonight.

I got you Dominican cigars and a bottle of malt. I can't even pronounce

this name. And I got you two decks of playing cards with pictures of naked

on them.

Oh, you are too much.

We don't want that, do we? We want just enough.

Well, I can't get enough of you.

I want you to move in with me.

What do you mean?

Just what I said.

I want you here all the time.

I think about you when you're not here. I smile every time I see you.

I want you to move in.

Yes.

Yes, I will, yes.

We can't do this now.

You're hosting a bachelor party in half an hour. I don't want to be mistaken for

the entertainment.

Believe me, I'd much rather spend the evening with you than those yahoos.

It's too late, because I'm going to see a movie with Amanda while you guys get

rowdy. Let's us get rowdy first.

Ah, yes, party central.

Ooh. Sounds like you're having a terrible time. Oh, terrible.

Well, I just called to tell you I'm going to be a little... Hello?

Hello?

I mean, I just changed for the party. Well, you can change again.

Change is good.

But I promised the guys that I would be there. No, I know all about bachelor

parties, and I want to make sure you are spent by the time you get there.

But, see, you're going to...

You're going to make me late.

Yeah, don't worry about it. Ryan will be late, too.

I gave him extra work at the office.

Hey, pool man.

Oh, hi.

I bet all you have to say for yourself.

Um, aren't you a little hot in that coat?

Yeah, maybe I should take it off.

Oh, um, you know what?

I have to finish this report, and I'm already running late for Michael's

prenuptial bash, so I... Honey, doesn't this beat a dumb old bachelor party with

a bunch of horny old men staring at something they can't have?

This is pretty good.

Well, maybe your brother's the only McBride who can do more than watch.

This is Amanda's office.

Yeah. From now on, honey, you're going to think of me every time you walk in

here.

I should meet you. Uh -huh.

No.

Let him watch.

So, look, the hitchhiker says to the trucker... Michael, what are you doing?

you going to talk? Are you going to play cards? No, no, no, no. Come on, come

on. I want to hear the end of the story.

Highlight of the evening.

Hi. Hi.

Hi, Tiffany.

Hi, Tiffany.

Oh, hi.

Pull out.

Right over by the chair there, okay?

Over here, bro.

Here.

Take your coat if you want.

Okay. You want something to drink?

Yeah, a bucket of bourbon.

Just kidding.

Oh, thank you. That'd be me.

That'd be me.

Oh,

very nice. Good choice.

She's a cool -headed woman.

I'm a hot -hearted man.

She's the sweat on my...

What's the matter?

Let me get you some water. I'll get you some water. Yeah.

Grab my chair. Come on.

Come on. Sit down over here.

I sense you're feeling depressed. Do you feel like talking about it?

Yeah,

it's just my boyfriend. He split.

Oh.

Well, you're a good -looking girl. You can get any guy you want. Yeah.

He can't help who you love.

Yeah, that's true.

So, why do you think he left?

He wants me to stop dancing.

And I can't. I mean, I need the money. I'm putting myself through school.

Oh.

Well, Michael can relate to that. The groom.

He was a stripper in med school.

Really?

Will you show me some moves?

Yes. No, no, no. Come on, Jane. Come on. No, no.

therapeutic for Tiffany.

Exactly, dog.

Therapy, I mean, it'd be good for... Here, Michael, you remember how you used

do it, don't you? I mean, you showed me.

Whoa!

Did I show up at the wrong party?

Hey,

Ryan. What's up, Kyle?

You guys ever grow up?

I think that is a question science may never find the answer to.

Peter was so boyish. Tonight, getting ready for his party.

Chips and dip, coasters for his glasses. Well, for your information, Peter has a

dark side, too.

I know.

Kind of caught me in a lie yesterday.

He didn't find out anything about... No.

No, thank God.

Oh, well, we were lucky.

The next time you use me as an alibi, maybe you should let me know about it

first. I did.

I told you last week where I'd be going.

Oh, well, maybe you told me, but I don't... Maybe?

What, are you calling me a liar, Amanda? I have a lot more to lose than you do,

you know. Peter could have found out everything, and then where would I be?

Eve, it's okay.

You're safe now. I'm here for you.

I mean, it's not like he was a saint.

I'd be working my ass off, so to speak.

And he was sleeping with my best friend.

Naturally. God.

Bastard. You know what, though?

I'm Tiffany.

Donna. Donna. See, the thing is, is that, you know, some guys, they like to

their women at home.

Yeah. Not in Chicago.

Chicago? I think what Kyle is trying to say is, is that the relationship between

a man and a woman is a fragile thing.

Yeah, and sex usually screws it up.

I would like a first -class ticket to Chicago.

Uh, red -eye. First class. Yes? No? I mean, no. Yeah, of course. First class,

yeah. What do you think? Um, credit card. Hold on.

Yes, here it is. Uh, 2 -2 -1. No, that's not it. Hold on.

Okay, wait. Hey!

Hey! Ah!

Hello? Oh, what are you doing?

You're not going to Chicago, Michael. Oh, Jane put you up to this, didn't she?

I'm saving you from yourself.

Oh, yeah, well, it's not gonna work.

Michael.

It's my jacket.

Oh. This is my apartment.

Oh, okay.

Is everything okay here?

Yeah. At least for the next 12 hours.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Bastion new spring wine.
