So...

Hmm...

Who are you gonna bet on in the Super Bowl, bro?

What, are you holding out on me?

Me? Never.

Let me see.

Come on.

Brandon...

Dude!

- You picked the Knicks? - The Knicks plus eight.

Don't you know that betting

on basketball is for suckers?

- Mm-hmm. We'll see. - All right.

Don't come crawling to me when you lose that shirt.

- What shirt? - [Steve laughing] Funny.

Donna, I can't believe you're passing up

a whole weekend to be pampered to death.

I'm going to get massages every morning and night.

Me, too.

I know, but t's a mother-daughter thing

and I'd feel like a fifth wheel.

Donna, are you sure

your mom is really, really sick?

Kel, she's not faking it.

Do you honestly think my mom would bail out

on something prepaid and non-refundable? No.

Can't you go with somebody else?

Like who?

Guys, I'm not into those kinds of places.

Andrea, how do you know?

You've never been to a spa before.

Yeah, and the Montecito Spa

is supposed to be the best in California.

- It's totally geared to women. - And it's totally free.

And it's totally luxurious.

And we'll all be together.

- It'll be a blast. - I don't know.

Getting massages and beauty tips makes me nervous.

- I've never had that problem. - Don't think of it as vanity.

Think of nurturing and relaxation.

And the whirlpool will be definitely good for your legs.

- Well, that's true. - Come on, Andrea, admit it.

Aren't you just the tiniest bit curious?

Maybe just a little.

I mean, it is free

and I could write a story about it in The Blaze .

Okay.

The meat loaf is for dinner tonight

and the arroz con pollo is for tomorrow.

Ever hear of takeout?

Jackie, would you tell your friend

that I might just be capable

of taking care of myself for a few days?

Whatever you say, Jim.

- Are you guys almost packed? - Almost.

Uh... Mom, can I borrow your new robe?

Nobody takes a robe to the Montecito.

Everybody walks around naked?

No. They give you really comfy little wraparounds

that are like environmentally perfect, right, Mom?

That's what they tell me.

- See? - Cool.

We're gonna go in 15 minutes.

Okay.

Thank God they're on speaking terms again.

You know it will end as soon as Dylan decides

which one he wants to start dating again.

Let's hope not.

Well, have a great weekend, ladies.

Try not to think too hard

about me slaving away back here.

- You're working this weekend? - I've got an audit coming up.

We represent this psychiatrist who's written this best seller.

- What is it? - It's some pop psychology thing.

Do you know the name of it?

Uh, it's... Mid-life Now What?

Oh, I read it. It's fabulous.

Every wife should read it.

[Kelly] Hey, Mom, let's go!

Excuse me.

[soft music]

Anyway, have a great weekend.

I suppose you'll be working with Dottie all weekend?

No. I am going to be working with Dr. Benjamin Kramer.

Dottie is my secretary, and, yes, she will be with me.

- Great. - Honey...

You have got nothing to worry about,

which you already know. Hmm?

Anyway...

I'm much too old to be having a mid-life crisis.

[early rock music]

Hey, Nat, could you do me a favor, pal?

- What's that? - Would you call Duke

and get me some action for tonight?

[sighs] Who do you want? How much?

Give me the Knicks for half.

Wait, wait, isn't that a little too steep?

Only if I lose.

Dylan, I'm telling you, it's a party in the Palisades.

The Pacific Palisades.

You know how it is there, man.

If you're not a babe by the time you turn 16,

they ask you to move out of town.

Steve, the last thing I need to do right now

is to meet more girls, man.

Silver, how about it?

I got two tests on Monday

and a girlfriend at a health spa.

You're a dweeb, you know that?

Hey, Brando, partying in the Palisades, tonight?

No can do, I'm gonna stay home and watch the Knicks game.

What's with you guys? I'm out of here.

[soft music]

[soft piano music]

This place is so peaceful.

I can feel myself melting into this couch.

They'll have to carry us out on a stretcher

by the time this weekend is over.

You guys, did you see all the exotic massages

they have here? Listen to this.

They have Jin Shin Do, Watsu and Reflexology.

What's Jin Shin Do? I guess they'll explain it later.

Listen they got low impact aerobics, water aerobics--

[gasps] And yoga.

Oh, I've always wanted to take yoga! When...

It's two hours. That conflicts with their tours

through the arboretum. What am I supposed to do?

- Andrea... - Maybe they'll let me take

a class if I skip breakfast.

- Andrea-- - Maybe they have

an early class before 6:00 a.m.

- Andrea. - Huh?

Relax.

[Jackie] We're all set.

Now I is lose the ten pounds

I put on since Erin was born.

That sounds easier than losing 15 years.

- [Jackie chuckles] - Jackie?

Babette, hi!

You look fantastic!

You, too, thank you!

Babette Lewis, this is Cindy Walsh.

- Hi, nice to meet you. - Hi, nice to meet you.

Babette, this is her daughter, Brenda.

- Hi. - And this is Andrea.

- Hi. - And Donna.

And you remember Kelly?

Of course I do, hi.

- Oh, it's been a long time. - Yeah, it has.

Are you here for the weekend?

Every weekend, I work here.

- For the last two years. - [Jackie] You're kidding?

No. So if any of you need anything,

or want anything, feel free to give me a holler.

- What room are you staying in? - Uh... 832.

You have a great view from up there.

[Jackie] Oh, good.

I've got to go, but I'll give you a call.

- Bye-bye. - Okay, guys, let's go!

This place is a Nirvana to begin with,

but with your mom's friend working here,

we will be getting the royal treatment.

Believe me, any treatment

Babette can give you, you don't want.

What do you mean?

Babette used to be my mom's coke connection.

Hello, Sir Brandon.

Hey, Dad, look at this. Will you look at this.

Mom must've felt real guilty.

What do you want, chicken or meat loaf?

I'll grab something near the office.

I gotta work all weekend.

With Dottie?

Yes, with Dottie.

Way to go, Dad.

Excuse me, young raging hormones,

may I remind you I'm a married man?

Hey, hey, you don't have to explain

anything to me, you big stud.

- [Jim groans] - [Brandon chuckles]

Good night. See you later, big guy.

[phone ringing]

Casa Walsh.

Oh, hey, Mom, how you doing?

Oh, fine, we got here.

I mean, we made good time. How are you?

- Great. - Listen, honey, is Dad there?

He just ran out the door, you want me to go get him?

Oh, no, no, it's okay. What time he'd be back?

Actually, he didn't say. Maybe you want to try at the office.

He said he's going to be working all weekend.

Oh, okay, I'll just try him later.

- Cool, talk to you later. - Bye, honey.

What's the matter?

You think they have a bookstore in this place?

You suppose they have a chapter in here on men

who have affairs with their secretaries?

Let me guess.

Early 30s and a knockout.

[chuckles]

More like late 20s and a knockout.

I know the type. I was the type.

[ice falling in bucket]

- How do I compete with that? - You can't.

And I'm sure Jim doesn't expect you to.

He's going to be alone with her

while I'm having cellulite treatments.

Listen, if you weren't jealous

every once in a while, you wouldn't be in love.

Jim is a good man

and you guys have a great marriage, don't you?

[busy city buzzing]

What kind of man goes to Amsterdam on business

without bringing back any receipts?

The kind of man who doesn't want

anyone to know what he was doing.

Yeah.

What do you say we double-check the office expenses?

Okay.

Okay, there's $2,795.75

for the portable computer,

$391.12 for the Dictaphone,

$1,587 for the laser printer,

$975.25 for the file cabinet.

So, that's $5,749.12 amortized over five years,

which would leave us a deduction of...

$1,148.82.

[sighs] That's amazing.

Well, 20% is pretty standard.

I mean, the way you did

those computations in your head.

I can't even balance my check book.

You're really a brilliant man, Mr. Walsh.

You should've seen me when I was in my prime.

As far as I can tell, you are still in your prime.

Oh! This is really weird.

I can't believe I'm taking a bath in mud.

It is so gooey. It feels like there's hay in it or something.

It's not hay. It's herbs.

What kind of herbs?

The kind horses like to eat.

It's supposed to draw the toxins out of the skin

and restore its natural supple tone.

Well, I cannot move in this goop.

I don't know. Rolling around in this slop

just doesn't seem kosher.

Shh! Can we all be quiet and relaxed, please?

Okay.

[early rock music]

Morning, Nathaniel.

Mr. Duke. You don't waste any time.

A man's got to earn a living, get something good to eat.

You came to the right place.

[cash register bell rings]

Remind me not to bet on a Shrine game again.

Why don't you give it to your prodigy? He's the winner.

Thank you, sir.

Hold on to that, we'll roll it over.

- Yeah? - Why not?

I'm playing with your money.

Breakfast is served, sir.

Oh, yeah.

[soft rock playing on jukebox]

Will you stop with that song already?

What...?

Man, you must really be caught

between a rock and a hard place.

It's driving me crazy, man.

It's like I try to picture myself

with Brenda, I see Kelly.

If I picture myself with Kelly, I see Brenda.

- It's a problem. - Yeah.

Let me give you one piece of advice.

Stop playing that song,

or Nat's going to hurt you.

Lisanne will take care of you two.

And you two are with me.

And don't worry.

We're going to do a lot of work on your problem areas.

Problem areas?

[relaxing music]

So, where are you girls from?

Beverly Hills.

Oh, you girls go to college?

[Kelly] High school.

High school?

They didn't make them like you

when I was in high school, thank God.

I'm not sure it would have made any difference,

I wasn't very popular.

It's just as well. Men...

who needs any, know what I mean?

My friend Mandy was going out

with this married man for almost three months.

A rich guy from Beverly Hills.

He was crazy in love with her,

bought her gifts, sent her flowers,

till her best friend Sheila got her claws in him.

Can you imagine that? I mean, two best friends

fighting over the same guy?

What a crazy thing to do, huh?

My legs feel like they're made out of rubber.

Are you as vegged out as I am?

Yeah, I'm a radish.

Ooh, are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Yeah, if you're thinking of my thunder-thighs.

Kelly, that masseuse was an airhead.

Although what she said about her two best friends fighting

over the same guy kind of got to me.

I wish Gina hadn't said anything,

but one thing I can say for her,

she might have a big mouth, but she's got great hands.

Well, let's go see how the others are doing.

Brenda, wait, um...

Do you think I have "problem areas"?

- [Brenda grunts] - No, I'm serious.

Kelly, no. You're crazy.

[tension music]

That song goes again...

Oh, it's what he wants.

Don't look at me, Nat. I didn't do it, I swear.

Oh, yeah. Here you go.

What's with you, anyway?

I don't know, man. I just...

Nat, I'm kind of having girl problems to the extreme.

[laughs] I kind of figured that out.

So, uh... Who are you on the outs with?

- Kelly or Brenda? - Kelly and Brenda.

I mean it depends what time of day it is, I swear.

Cheer up.

It's not like you're going to get married next week.

- [Nat chuckles] - Yeah.

I'll get you another cup of coffee.

♪ Wind in my hair and I'm feeling fine ♪

♪ Honey, all we need is you and me... ♪

[harp music]

[Dylan] Brenda, I'm home.

- Daddy, Daddy, - Daddy!

Oh, girls, how are you?

Pick me up, Daddy, pick me up!

Come here, I gotcha. Whoa, whoa!

I got you both, all right!

Oh, where's your mother?

Let's go in the Porsche today.

Spending my money, isn't she?

Where were you?

Oh, I been at work, darling, I'm sorry.

Hey, Kevin, Kyle! What have you done to this room?

Kevin! Kyle!

I had an important tax report

there on that table.

[screaming] Brenda!

Stop that! You, go to your room!

[boy] Leave me alone!

There you are. I didn't hear you come in.

I've been trying to decide

on wallpaper for the nursery.

What do you think?

Bunnies or bears?

[sighs]

[funny music]

[Brenda echoing] Bunnies or bears

Bunnies or bears?

[harp music]

[early rock music]

[Nat] Here you go.

Thanks.

I cannot believe you ordered two whole lunches

at 392 calories a piece... that is 784 calories.

Mud-baths make me hungry. Are you going to eat

that avocado slice ?

- Go ahead. - Thanks.

She's like a bottomless pit.

How do you eat so much and stay

so thin? It's disgusting.

Oh, I ate a whole loaf of bread once.

Now that's disgusting.

Donna, are you sure you don't have bulimia or something?

I have a fast metabolism.

Geez.

Andrea, do you think Donna has

an eating disorder?

I don't know.

I think you're starting to get the hang of this place.

[giggling]

According to this,

66% of men over the age of 42

have had fantasies of leaving their wife

to run off with a younger woman.

Big surprise.

Okay, Dr. Kramer says,

"only expose these feelings to your wife

if you are willing to accept the consequences

which may be severe and painful.

Remain in control. Don't panic.

These fantasies are normal. They are just fantasies,

unless you make them a reality."

I wonder if they have a phone out here?

[phone ringing]

Jim Walsh's office.

Yes, is he in?

I'm sorry, he's behind closed doors.

May I take a message?

Just tell him his wife called.

Cindy! Hi! I'm sorry,

I didn't recognize your voice.

How's the spa?

It's great.

How's my husband?

- Great. Really great. - Great.

Would you like me to interrupt him?

No. It, it's not important.

Um... I'm sure you're taking good care of him.

I'm doing my best.

Great.

- The problem is... - [knocking]

Knock, knock, gentlemen, it's lunchtime.

[Jim] Thank you, Dottie.

Cindy called about 20 minutes ago,

but she said not to disturb you.

- Is she okay? - She was checking up on you,

making sure you're being a good boy.

Thai noodles and shrimp.

And my own personal favorite,

sweet and sour baby lamb.

Ooh...

Bon appétit.

[Jim] Thanks.

Phew!

How do you concentrate around here?

[chuckling]

Hey, I'm a married man.

Well, so was I.

[chuckling]

Can I ask you a question?

If you'd like to.

Nah... forget it.

Okay.

You're right.

I can't concentrate.

I think about her all the time.

It's driving me crazy, Doc. I don't know what to do.

Uh-huh.

I mean, I love my wife.

She's a terrific lady.

I can't even imagine life without her, but...

Hey, I'm only human, you know?

You see what my secretary is like.

Just between you and me.

Half the time I think she's coming on to me.

Which I know is crazy, I know, I know, I know.

But then I think...

"What if she is coming on to me?"

And then I get so guilty

for thinking about her at all.

You know what the worst part is?

She is by far and away

the best damn secretary I've ever had.

I see.

So, what am I going to do, Doc?

Maybe you'd like to make an appointment with my office,

we could explore your feelings further.

[sighs] Okay.

I thought as long as you were here...

In the meantime, why don't you take a copy of my book.

MID-LIFE NOW WHAT?

And try the noodles, they're delicious.

[electric guitar music]

Do you remember that Fourth of July party

we had at Corey Jessup's ranch?

Part of it. I was pretty stoned that night.

Everybody was stoned that night.

And Corey had the most incredible display of fireworks

and they just went on for hours.

[Jackie] I remember falling asleep on the couch

- and not waking up till August. - [chuckling]

When Corey said he was taking you out for French food,

it meant bring your passport.

[Cindy] You mean he'd fly you to France?

OH, 10, 15 people at a time on his Lear jet.

No!

And I'm not sure which was higher,

the plane or the passengers. [chuckling]

Oh... We had some good times, huh?

Yeah, we did...

and more bad times than I care to remember.

[Babette] Yeah.

Well, I have to confess,

every now and then, I still do an occasional toot,

but only on special occasions.

[Jackie] Not me.

I'm completely clean.

I'm not Jackie Taylor anymore.

I'm Mrs. Mel Silver.

I just had a new baby

and I feel better than I have in years.

That's great, Jackie.

Well, listen, I better get going

before they realize that I'm gone.

Hey, thanks for the fruit basket.

Oh, you're welcome.

- Nice talking to you, Cindy. - You, too, Babette.

Maybe we could get together for a drink.

- That'd be fun. - Great.

Great, I'll give you a call. Bye.

See ya.

[Cindy sighs]

[chuckling] Boy, sounds like some wild times.

Yeah, they were.

Do you remember the first time we met?

You caught me doing lines in the bathroom?

Yes, I remember.

I'm so embarrassed now, I could die.

Why?

You have changed so much since then.

I mean, you're a completely different person.

I really admire you for that.

Thank you.

Honestly, Kelly, don't you think you're jumping to conclusions?

No, I mean,

why else would she bring up a fruit basket?

Because she was trying to be friendly?

I don't buy it.

But how do you know Babette is still a dealer?

It's just a vibe I get.

Even if she is, that doesn't mean

Jackie's going to get high again, does it?

Look, Kelly, if this is really bothering you,

you should definitely talk to your mother about it.

But can we do it after our facials?

Why don't you just go without me?

Kelly?

[sighs] Okay. Look, I'll meet you

in the locker room in ten minutes, okay?

Okay.

[relaxing music]

Hi, guys.

Ooh, what smells?

[chuckles] Seaweed body wraps.

Sounds slimy.

I feel like a piece of sushi.

Actually, I've never had sushi,

but I imagine this is what sushi feels like.

[both laughing]

So anyway, my friend Mandy had been going out

with this married man for, like, almost three months,

till her best friend Sheila got her claws in him.

Anyway, he was this big-time Beverly Hills oral surgeon

with a new wife and new baby.

[sighs] Uh... Dr. Silver.

Mel Silver. You ever hear of him?

And so, he and she have been going out for, like,

you know, two, three months on the sly,

and you just know a guy like that's gonna do

the same thing again and again and again.

[tension music]

[Brandon with Irish brogue] Ah, Davey, me boy.

You can't be coy, with Davey, me boy.

Brandon, do you think I can get a large pot of coffee?

Sure you could, young Davey, but not from me, laddie.

My shift is over, and I'm leavin'.

Nadine, would you bring this young man a pot of coffee?

- [in regular voice] Later, bro. - Thanks, man.

Studying?

No, I'm just reading.

- For fun? - Strange, but true.

You don't look so good, Silver.

I didn't get all my beauty sleep.

Young Erin was up crying all night.

Is she sick?

No, she misses her "ma-ma."

What about her "da-da?"

Last night was the poker game.

Ah. How convenient.

Well, he deserves a night off for a change.

He's one of those workaholics, you know?

- Really? - Yeah.

Mel's theory is: You spend

the long hours to make the big bucks

so you can spoil all the women in your life.

Why do you think he and Kelly get along so well?

[harp music]

[sighs]

[calculator whirring]

[sighs]

[door opens]

Honey, I'm home.

I'm in here, babe.

Did you have a good day?

I did, until a nasty clerk at Saks tore up my credit card.

She insisted we were a couple of months late paying the bill.

How can she say something like that?

Well, Kel,

I need to talk to you about something. [clears throat]

Okay, but first, close your eyes.

- Kelly... - Come on, close them.

Pretty please.

[bag rustling]

Ta-dah!

Isn't it divine?

I bought it for our next vacation.

What vacation?

Well, President's Day is coming up,

and since we always go somewhere, I told Donna

and David we'd go skiing with them

in St. Moritz for the weekend.

I don't really think that's a very good idea.

Oh, please.

Not this year.

Oh... Come on, baby, don't look at me like that.

Plea-- look... here.

We were just in Paris a month ago.

Now, can't we just stay home, you know?

Quietly for the weekend, just you and I

in our little love nest-- what do you think?

Dylan, why would we stay here when we can go to Hawaii!

That's not a good idea, Kel.

Why not?

We're broke.

[laughs] What'd you say?

There's no more money in the bank.

How did that happen?

[wry chuckle] We spent it all.

Oh, my God!

Dylan, oh, my God, how are we going to live?

What are we going to do?

Kel, it's going to be okay.

I mean, don't get upset.

How can you say that we have no money?

Look, Kel, I knew you were going to be upset.

I knew it, so... I took it upon myself to go out

and get you something to make you feel better.

Oh, Dylan, you have got to be

the sweetest little thing in the whole world.

Yeah. Mm... Do you like it?

I love it.

It's an emerald.

That's Brenda Walsh's birthstone.

You're still carrying a torch for her, aren't you?

[echoing] Aren't you?

Did you get a whiff of Donna and Andrea

in their sea-scum body wraps?

I strongly suggest you don't stand downwind

from them for a few days.

What's the matter?

Kelly, you know the masseuse with the big mouth?

- Yeah. - Well, I was in there,

and she was talking about her friend Mandy again.

The one who was having the affair with the married man?

Bren, you said yourself the girl is an air-head.

Dylan's not going to get in the way of our friendship again,

- no matter... - Let me finish.

Sorry.

[sad music]

She said who the married man was.

Well, who is it?

It's Mel.

What?

Dr. Mel Silver, oral surgeon from Beverly Hills.

I don't know if it's true,

but that's what she said.

Oh... This can't be happening.

This has got to be a mistake.

[sad music]

[phone ringing]

- Hello. - Hi, David, it's me.

I was talking about you with Dylan

at the Peach Pit. How's it going?

Not so good. Is your dad there?

Uh, no, I haven't seen him. Why, what's up?

Hopefully nothing.

Did you talk to him this morning?

No, he left for work before I got up.

Well... did you see him last night?

Kelly, what's wrong?

Answer the question. I will tell you in a minute.

Well, yeah, I saw him. He was in a good mood.

We played with Erin and then, he left for his poker game.

You don't know if he came home last night?

I'm sure he did.

But you don't know for sure.

I didn't do a bed check if that's what you mean.

Listen, do me a favor, ask Rosa if she's seen him yet today.

- That was like pulling teeth. - Well, his Dad is a dentist.

What'd she say?

[sad music]

He didn't come home last night... or the night before.

[electric guitar music]

- Hey, Pop. - Hey, how you doing, Mr. Walsh?

Hi, guys. How are you doing?

Good, good. We just came by to grab a little food

before we got to the Stallone movie preview.

That sounds like a plan. Have a good time.

Hey, Mr. Walsh, what book are you reading?

Book? Uh...

Oh! Oh, you mean this book? I'm not really reading it.

[hesitates] One of my clients wrote it.

That's the only reason I have it.

Any good?

Well, like I said, I'm not really reading it.

I'm just sort of skimming it, that's all.

What's it called?

Why do you want to know?

Dad, what's the big deal?

It's called...

Mid-life Now What? If you make one crack,

I'm giving the Mustang to Brenda.

I didn't say anything, not a word.

Enjoy the movie.

So how was work today?

[electric guitar music]

[both laughing]

[people chattering]

[laughing]

[Cindy] Cher comes here?

She's a regular.

So is Michelle Phillips and Loni Andersen.

So, if we make these weekends

part of our lives, we too can end up

looking glamorous and eternally youthful.

[all laughing]

I don't think I'd go that far.

Fifteen years.

Hi, sweetie, you want to join us?

No. Can I talk to you for a second?

Sure. Is everything okay?

Yeah.

- Will you excuse me? - Mm-hmm.

Oh, what a beautiful night.

You know, I am glad that you pulled me out of there.

This was supposed to be a mother-daughter weekend,

and I feel we haven't spent any time together.

I miss you.

You were drinking.

Is that why we're out here?

- No. - Because I'm fine.

I had a little sip of white wine, and that's my limit.

You don't have to worry about your old mom.

Okay.

Does Babette still do coke?

She says she still dabbles every now and then.

On special occasions.

Do you "dabble?"

Kelly!

Mom, just tell me the truth, please.

No. You know I don't. Now, what is this about?

- [sad music] - [sighs]

I have something to tell you,

and if you were ever going to start again, this would be

the thing that might push you over the edge.

Honey, what's wrong?

Let's go sit down.

All right.

I don't know how to say it, but I have to say it.

Well, just say it.

It's about Mel.

[sad music]

[sad music]

I don't think so.

Oh, last year's party...

[laughing]

I'll catch up with you later, okay?

Okay.

Well, contemplating a midnight swim?

Ooh, make that 1:00 a.m.

You're kidding.

I guess I'd better get up to my room.

Hey, what's wrong?

Oh, I couldn't sleep.

I got some bad news from home.

What happened?

Oh, God.

It's such a cliché.

Come on, you can trust me.

[voice breaking] I found out my husband is having an affair.

Oh, Jackie.

And you with a new baby.

I'm so sorry. I really am.

[sighs]

We weren't even married a year.

I should have seen it coming.

I mean, he constantly cheated on his ex.

It was always with the...

dental assistant or a hygienist.

[sighs]

He swore he'd changed.

He swore with me, he'd be different.

Oh... How could I have been so naive?

Don't beat yourself up, Jackie.

None of this was your fault, not one bit of it.

Now, I have to figure out what to do with my life.

May I make a suggestion?

Don't make any major decisions in a depressed state of mind.

Did you learn that from a fortune cookie?

Come on. You look like you could use a little pick-me-up.

[sighs]

And I know just the place to get it.

[suspense music]

[door opening]

[door closes]

[sighs]

Mom?

Hi, honey. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you.

It's quarter to 2:00. Where have you been?

Well...

I couldn't sleep,

so I went down to the pool

to think things out,

and I ran into Babette,

and I ended up in her room

with a half a gram of cocaine.

Mom...

It was tempting.

It was really tempting.

But... [exhales loudly]

that's not the way I'm going to deal with this.

That's not the way I'm going to deal

with anything ever again.

So I thanked her and I left.

I'm so proud of you.

Yeah, me, too.

- You know what? - What?

Tonight I realized...

that no matter what the future brings...

I'm glad I met Mel,

'cause look what I got out of it.

Beautiful baby.

What more could a girl from Ohio ask for?

Well, what's going to happen?

I don't know.

[sighs]

I'll have to talk to Mel.

That's for sure.

Maybe we can work through this.

Maybe we can't.

We'll just have to see.

Why do men cheat?

Why isn't one woman ever enough?

I don't know.

Maybe it's genetic.

[sad music]

Mr. Walsh?

Dottie.

Hi. Um... I know I wasn't supposed to be here till 10:00,

but I've been thinking about you

since I woke up this morning, and...

And, well, we need to talk.

Okay.

I don't know where to begin.

It's... it's so awkward.

No. That's okay.

Okay, then I'll just come out and say it.

Maybe it's because your wife's out of town...

[sexy music]

...or because we've been working

so closely together these last few weeks,

but you have to be the most brilliant

and compassionate man I've ever met.

And I don't care how old you are.

I find you incredibly sexy,

and I want to make love to you in the worst way

right here, right now.

[sexy music]

Dottie, please. We shouldn't be doing this.

I'm a happily married man.

Dottie... please.

You know I love Cindy.

Oh, my God, this is like a fantasy come true.

Of course, it's a fantasy, you old horn dog.

Haven't you finished reading that book yet?

[Dottie] Mr. Walsh?

Mr. Walsh?

Dottie.

Hi. Um... I know I wasn't supposed to be here till 10:00,

but I've been thinking about you all morning

and well, we need to talk.

Okay.

I don't know where to begin.

- It's so awkward. - Awkward?

Okay, then, I'll just come out and say it.

Dottie, we shouldn't be doing this.

I think you'd better find a new secretary.

- What? - My boyfriend and I are moving

- back to Florida next week. - Boyfriend?

He got down on his knees and proposed last night.

We're getting married!

Congratulations.

[sighs]

[indistinct chatter]

[phone ringing]

You guys, look what I have here. Ha!

[Donna] Oh, I love free samples.

The pink caps are for normal to dry skin. Here, try this one.

Andrea, you have a year supply for each of us.

Well, it's important to be PH balanced.

Mom, who was on the phone?

That was just your father.

- He called to say he loved me. - Oh...

Well, after 20 years,

it's nice to know that he still cares.

- Need any help? - No, I'm all through.

How are you doing? Are you going to be all right?

I think so.

I know what I have to do.

And it's not going to be easy,

but I'm prepared to deal with whatever comes.

[sighs] Jackie, I just feel like such a fool.

I mean, here I've been suspicious of Jim all weekend,

and now, you have to deal with the real thing.

- That would look good on you. - Nah.

What about something in red?

It's a fabulous color for you.

I guess I'm just not in a shopping mood today.

Kelly, I know you're worried about your mom,

but she's a strong woman.

- You know that, don't you? - Yeah, I do.

Okay, let's go.

Okay.

- [sports playing on TV] - Thank you.

I don't understand why you're rooting against Minnesota.

I don't want them to lose.

I don't want them to beat the spread.

Oh, no. God forbid.

Dylan, if you had more interest in sports,

you wouldn't have spent all weekend

worrying about your girl problems.

- Thank you, Dr. Freud. - [phone ringing]

Hey, if that's Brenda and Kelly,

- tell them to stop over. - Yeah?

How much money you got on this game?

[Dylan] What?

Hey, w...

Turn on channel six, man.

There's under a minute left.

Turn it on!

[TV] In the fourth quarter...

Convicted financier, Jack McKay

is being released from federal prison

after having served just two years of a ten year sentence.

His early parole has caught most people

in both the business and the law enforcement community

by surprise. The reaction has been mixed.

How come you didn't tell us about this?

I didn't know.

Right now, let's take a look at a story

our Lifestyle editor has found in the Valley.

We'll be back with that right after weather.
