- Hi. - Hi.

- I have big news. - Oh, you do?

- Yes. Um, sorry.

I promised myself I wouldn't tell you

until I asked how the funeral was.

So, how was it?

- Mmm, it was very sad.

What? - How's Matt?

- He's all right.

- You guys still together?

- Yeah. Yeah, and I think that

that's right for now.

- Good. - What? Tell me.

- David proposed.

- Oh, my God!

Oh! I'm so happy for you.

- Oh, here, I wanna tell you everything.

Come sit down.

- What happened?

- Um, okay. - When did it happen?

- Um, it happened the night that you left for New York.

- It did? Why didn't you tell me?

- Well, you and Matt were dealing with stuff, I--

- I could have used some good news.

But start at the beginning. Okay, where did it happen?

- Uh, he asked me at his house. - Did he get down on one knee?

- Yeah, yeah, he got down on one knee, but you gotta listen

to what I'm trying to tell you. - Okay, okay, I'm listening.

Okay, you're at his house, he's down on one knee.

And then what happened? - And he asked me to marry him.

- And? - And I told him that I love him

and he then told me he loves me.

- And?

- And I told him I don't know.

- What?

- Well, it just... (sighs)

When he asked me to come over there, I came over

'cause I thought he was gonna tell me

he wasn't interested in me anymore.

- So, the man of your dreams, who you think isn't interested,

gets down on one knee and asks you to marry him,

and you say, "I don't know."

Okay, I understand. Then what happened?

- It just-- uh, it happened so fast.

I just didn't expect it,

so I told him I needed time to think about it,

but that I didn't wanna discuss it that night.

And of course, we did end up discussing it that night,

all night long, and he-- and he was terrific.

- Because he is terrific.

- I know. I know. And me saying I don't know,

it wasn't because I'm unsure, because I love David.

I-- I know that he's the one, I just-- phew, I just--

I needed time to think about it, and I had to tell you.

- Oh, I am very happy for you.

Let me see.

Wow.

- Remember that really stupid thing you did last fall?

- Could you be a little more specific?

- I wrote an admissions essay to CU and I threw it away.

You went behind my back, dug it out,

turned it in, I got in. - Yeah, right.

Right, they accepted your sorry ass, I remember that.

- Yeah, well, in a couple of days this sorry ass

is graduating and I'm--

- Well, congratulations. You're welcome.

So, you gonna invite anybody to come check it out?

- No, I'm not. I'm not broadcasting it, either.

- Why bother, it's just an amazing accomplishment.

- I suppose. It's pretty cool.

- Yeah, I suppose. Finally, reinforcements.

(Steve) - Said something about making a sign,

but nothing about manual labor.

What's up, D? - Dude.

- I'm, uh, sending a message. Yeah.

- Yeah, I suggested something chaste yet seductive

because it's-- well, it's Donna.

- A love note. How sweet, and yet so pathetic.

What's the occasion?

- I asked her to marry me.

- Are you serious? - Yeah.

- Oh, Dave! All right, congratulations!

Oh, that's great. - Yeah, it would be great,

except she said she had to think about it.

- Oh, ouch.

You know what?

Janet cut me down the first time I asked her.

- Ugh. Women suck.

- (chuckling) - Nice.

- Yeah, that's very helpful, thank you.

- Come on, they want you to commit,

when you finally do, it's not enough.

- Eventually, they come around. Janet did.

I'm sure Donna will too. So, what are we writing here?

- I suggested "Consider yourself lucky."

- Ha, the romantic talks.

How about something short and sweet like,

"Marry me, I love you."

- "Pretty please with sugar on top."

- Yeah, sugar coat it a little bit, call her pumpkin.

- I open myself up to you guys and what do I get?

(both) - Ridicule. - Of course.

Just make sure you don't misspell anything, all right?

- I'm giving Yoffe some ideas for Nouveau.

Do you wanna hear them?

- Yeah, sure.

- Oh. Sorry.

- (sighs) Here, you can have mine.

I'll just get something at work.

- Of course you can. You're the breadwinner.

- No, I insist. - No, I insist.

(scoffs)

Janet, I hate what's happening to us.

- No, Steve, you hate what's happening to you.

Which astonishes me because I happen to think

that staying home with Maddy is a privilege.

- Yeah, and it's one you choose not to exercise.

- That is so unfair. - Oh, give me a break!

(door closes)

- Uh, you know, I can come back later.

- No, it's okay, I was just leaving.

I'm really sorry about your brother.

- Yeah, thanks.

(door opens, closes)

- How's Julie Ann?

- Uh, not so good.

- Mmm.

I remember when she was playing with Maddy and Patrick too.

They sure made a great couple.

- You know, she's-- she's pregnant.

- Oh. That's tough.

- What? - A kid growing up

and never getting to know his father.

- Yeah.

- Busy?

- No, not really.

I could use a little break.

- Looks nice.

- Mmm, it's not much, but...

I have three clients, and I believe in every one of them.

- And that's very important to you, isn't it?

Um, believing in what you do.

- I think it's important to everyone.

- Yeah, important-- but with you, it's mandatory.

- You say that like it's a bad thing.

- No. You follow your heart.

What could be wrong with that?

How's Matt?

- He's, uh, devastated.

- The other night you said you wanted to know some things,

but you had to talk with Matt first.

And I... I was just wondering if you'd done that.

- Actually, I haven't.

- Well, um...

tell him that I'm very sorry for his loss.

- Of course.

- You know, I talked to David about, uh, Donna.

- Oh. How is he doing?

- He can't figure out how two people

so obviously meant for each other

can't seem to get together.

To tell you the truth, neither can I.

(David) - Hey.

- Oh, hey, come here. You gotta look at this.

- Yeah, what? - Yeah, right there.

- Huh. "I love Don."

- Yeah, some girl must have written it for her boyfriend.

Isn't that romantic?

- Donna. - What?

That's what it said. It said, "I love Donna."

- You did that? - Yeah.

You know, I could have sworn I spelled your name right.

- Aw, I don't know what to say.

- You don't have to say anything.

I'm not trying to pressure you, you know.

I know it's scary, and I know why.

- Then you're way ahead of me.

- Oh, come on, you're a romantic, you always have been.

I mean, you've been dreaming about your engagement

and your marriage forever, and in your mind,

it's perfect, and...

well, reality's a little different, you know?

Especially with a guy like me.

I understand it's probably hard to accept.

- That must have taken you all night to do.

- Yeah, but it was worth it... Don.

- (laughs)

- Ready to talk about the new magazine?

- Oh, absolutely.

I have a lot of new ideas.

But before we get started,

I just-- I really wanted to tell you

how honored I feel by your confidence in me.

- Hey, sorry I'm late.

Traffic.

I hate L.A.

- Well, don't worry, I'm sure the feeling is mutual.

- (chuckles)

- Janet Sosna, Ava Small.

- Hi. - Hi.

So, let's start with the name of your brainchild.

"Nouveau." How in the world did you manage

to come up with the most boring name possible?

- Oh, I think it's catchy.

- No, it's okay. I admit right now...

- Mm-hmm? - ...it's nothing, it lacks focus.

It has no theme, no point of view.

That's what I want you to focus on.

- Who?

- Both of you. But separately.

I'm a firm believer in healthy competition.

I want your reports by the end of the week.

- What a dump.

- Would you excuse me?

Hi, um...

I'm sorry. I'm just a little confused.

I thought you wanted me to run this magazine.

- Ava's from the New York office.

She helps me with all my acquisitions.

I trust her judgment. (elevator dings)

- I'm-- I'm sure you do, but with all due respect,

you didn't answer my question.

- Just have your report by the end of the week.

I'll take it from there.

- She's finally asleep. - (laughs)

You know, kids can be so different, but they all hate

having a bedtime, that's for sure.

- Well, my mom says Caitlin's usually pretty good about it.

It's just that she's making adjustments, you know?

- Having your mom put you to bed is an adjustment

worth making, if you ask me.

You know?

Mwah.

- She asked me about you.

- She did, huh?

- Mm-hmm. - What'd she say?

- Well, she saw us holding hands,

and she wanted to know if you were my boyfriend.

- So, what did you tell her?

- Well, that's the thing.

I didn't really know what to tell her.

We haven't talked about it,

and I sort of wanted us to before I said anything to her.

- Why don't you tell her I'm absolutely crazy

about her mother, huh?

- Look, I know this is incredibly premature,

but the hardest thing for a kid is to form attachments

to somebody who's not gonna stick around.

- I understand what you're saying.

You know, she has enough adjustments to make already.

- I'm not asking for an answer right now, but soon.

I'm gonna need a commitment.

(knocking on door)

- Hey, Janet home?

- Very funny.

- Hmm.

- Hey, Donna. - Hey, you.

I thought-- I thought you were on some world tour

with Rush or something.

- I was. And I would've stayed too,

if I'd known what a drag you'd be.

Poor thing, someone bought

his newspaper for, like, a gazillion dollars.

- Oh, yeah, that's right. Congratulations.

- It's not final yet.

Although, if Janet has anything to say about it, it will be.

- What, she wants it and you don't?

- Seems like the new owner's offering her respectability.

I just get a paycheck.

- And a chance to hang out all day in your boxers.

- Great. - Oh, and be with your daughter.

- Mm. - While the slobbering wage slaves of the world

sit in Sigalert hell, getting brain cancer

from being on their cell phones too long.

- I think what he just said-- very colorfully, might I add--

is that now, you can enjoy your life.

- Contrary to popular opinion, I'm not making that much money

from the sale, okay?

I'm gonna have to get a job sooner or later.

- Well, yeah, you'll-- you'll look for a job,

just not right now. Do it in, like, a month or two.

And right now, just take advantage of your time

with Maddy, 'cause it won't always be like this.

- Work was a disaster. Oh, company!

- Hey, Janet. - Hi, company.

(Donna) - Hi.

- You could've called, honey.

- Well, that's very supportive.

- It's 9:00.

- Excuse me.

- (clears throat)

- (sighs)

- Hi. I brought your dress for Kelly's wedding.

- Oh, thanks.

- You wanna talk about it?

- Yeah. I'm not mad at Steve.

I mad at myself.

I pushed for the sale of the Beat,

and now I'm stuck retooling it

and trying to get a second publication off the ground.

- I thought Steve said you were loving it.

- I was, in theory.

But up close, it might not be so great.

- Can't you just get out of it?

- That's the thing. Steve and I had a deal.

We'd only sell the paper if we both agreed,

but when he told me he didn't want to, I insisted.

- And now, you've changed your mind?

- I don't know, maybe.

But I can't even talk to him about it

because I'm just way too embarrassed.

- Hmm. So, I guess that little pep talk

I had with him about how great your arrangement is,

it probably wasn't a stroke of genius.

- Not if he doesn't take it to heart.

- And if he does? - If he does,

you can just pay for the divorce lawyers, and we'll call it even.

- (chuckles) Yeah, that's funny.

Does it ever bother you

when your relationship just isn't perfect?

- Perfect? Our relationship?

I'd say on a percentage basis,

51/49 in favor is a good day.

- And you're happy with that?

- That's not the right question.

It's that I accept it.

And that makes me happy.

- Hi. - Hi.

How was work?

- Oh, it was okay.

How about you, did you get through that pile on your desk?

- No, I just couldn't focus.

- That's understandable.

- Between Patrick and Julie Ann and the baby.

- The baby.

- I, uh...

I've been thinking about what my responsibilities are.

- (sighs)

Have they changed?

- That's what I'm trying to decide.

- Whether or not to be a parent.

- I had no intention of being one.

Not when he had a father.

But now, he doesn't-- or he does,

just not the one he's supposed to have.

I don't know. It's complicated.

- I know, I know I'm obsessing,

but "Don" just wasn't doing it for me.

- Just remember, being a perfectionist is overrated.

- Hey, I didn't say that.

- Mmm, well, the point is what you did say.

You said that I had this image of perfection.

And you're right.

And then Janet talked to me about

needing to accept that that's not possible,

that it's not even really a good thing.

And, well, she was right too.

- Well, finally, my mediocrity's an asset.

- Shut up. (chuckles)

You're incredible.

You're loyal and you're honest and...

(sighs) ...any girl would be crazy

not to fall in love with you.

- Oh, now, you're embarrassing me.

- Just think, when I first met you,

you were this adorable little freshman,

so caring and sensitive.

- Okay, you can stop now.

- (chuckles) It's just...

over the past ten years, we've really grown up together,

and we've had to deal with all kinds of obstacles

that have always stood in our way.

- You know I feel the same way, right?

And that my love for you hasn't changed?

- I know.

That's what I'm trying to say.

I wanna be totally devoted to you.

To us.

- Why, Donna Martin, are you asking me to marry you?

- Yes, David Silver, will you marry me?

- I think I will. - (chuckles)

I love you. - I love you.

(Steve) - All right, kiddo, let's just get one thing straight.

It's not that I don't think

taking care of you is a privilege.

It is, no question.

Poopy diapers, the spit ups, the 5 A.M. wake-up calls.

It's all okay, Maddy.

But let's be honest, you got no three-point shot.

You can't go to the left.

You're not the world's greatest conversationalist.

I'm sorry.

It's just that there's more to life

than strained carrots and a good nap.

(Maddy coos)

What?

- Dada.

- No way.

Time out, time out, time out.

(laughs)

Did you just say what I think you said?

I think you said your first word.

Maddy, you're gonna say millions--

millions of words over the course of your life.

But none will ever sound as sweet as your first one.

Dada. (Maddy coos)

- Hi. - Hi.

- Mmm.

I just had the most amazing dream.

You wanna hear about it?

- Mm-hmm.

- I was on the beach

and this beautiful woman asked me to marry her.

- Smart girl.

- Yeah, I was a little surprised,

but of course, I covered with my usual wit and charm.

- (chuckles)

Well, now you're going from reality to fantasy.

- Very funny.

(phone ringing)

(sighs)

- Hello.

- Hi.

This is the sweetest thing I have ever seen.

- What? - What you wrote in the sand.

Has Donna seen it? - Mm-hmm.

- Well, I just wanted you to know that when I saw it,

it made me smile.

I haven't done that in a while.

- Good-- I know you're in a real interesting place right now.

- Yeah, I'm okay.

- Listen, if you need to talk or anything, I'm here.

- Thanks.

I hope Donna knows how lucky she is.

- Yeah, I think she does.

By the way, Dylan, uh, didn't want me to tell anyone,

but he's graduating from college today.

I just thought you might wanna know.

- Thanks. Bye.

- You think she does what?

- Um... thought you knew

how lucky I feel.

- Mmm.

Do we really get to spend the rest of our lives together?

- Mm-hmm.

If I have anything to say about it.

- Rise and shine.

Hey.

- What time is it? - It's 7:45.

- (groans)

- Cream, no sugar, right?

- You're annoyingly chipper.

- Well, why shouldn't I be? I've got a beautiful wife.

I have an adorable baby that says "Dada."

I got lots of money in the bank.

You know they're putting in new playground equipment

down at the beach? - Maddy says "Dada"?

- Well, yeah, she said it once or twice, kinda sorta,

but you know, it could've been gas.

Anyway, we're gonna check it out.

- Who are you and what have you done with my husband?

- You know him-- grumpy, bitter...

- I know I haven't supported our arrangement.

But I've been thinking about it.

And the more I think about it,

the more I realize how lucky I am.

- (sighs) - Hey.

That's a good thing.

- Hmm? I know. I know.

I'm sorry, I just-- I've been up most of the night.

- That's why you're gonna be late.

You got a deadline.

- You guys are going to the beach?

- No, tomorrow we're gonna go to the beach.

Today, we're going to the amusement park.

You know, I may actually buy a season's pass for us.

- Really? - Yeah.

(Noah) - All right, pay attention, okay?

(Nat) - Yeah. - The wrap goes up

through the hole, all right?

Around the tree. - Mm-hmm?

- You got it? Back down the hole. Boom.

Give it a yank. There you go, try it.

- You think you're the only guy

that's ever been on a boat? - I'm the only guy that's been

asked to crew the Sanita Hobart race, thank you very much.

- Okay, here we go.

- Hey. - Hey.

- Through the hole, around the tree...

through the hole.

- (snickers) That's not good.

Try it again.

- I'll take anything, Nat, make it greasy.

I haven't eaten in like a week.

- Something greasy coming up.

Sorry for your loss. - Thanks.

- You know how to make one of these? Come here.

- You doing okay? - Yeah, yeah.

Um, that woman you're seeing-- she's a single mom, isn't she?

- Yeah. Yeah, her daughter's six.

- Really? What's that like? - What do you mean?

- Well, my sister-in-law, she's pregnant, and I guess

I'm just wondering how tough things are gonna be for her.

- It's Ellen's whole life. - Is that good or bad?

- It's intimidating, I'll tell you that.

- What about her daughter?

- Caitlin. - Yeah, does she talk

about her dad or ask questions about him?

What? - Ellen asked me to commit.

I mean, not-- not like you and Kelly,

but still in a serious way.

- Mmm. - I think she wants to protect Caitlin

from losing somebody else she cares about.

- What'd you tell her?

- I didn't tell her anything yet.

I don't know if Caitlin thinks about her dad

or-- or asks about him.

Sometimes, she gets this really sad look in her eyes.

I think that's probably why.

- You ever look around and ask yourself,

"How the hell did this happen to me?"

- (laughs)

Yeah, all the time.

(knocking on door)

- Hi. - Hey.

- Bad time? - No, perfect, as usual.

I, uh, never did know how to tie one of these.

- Mmm. You look great.

What's the special occasion?

- It's nothing worth breaking the old monkey suit out for.

- I don't know about that.

- Why, did you talk to David?

- Yes, I did.

But don't worry, he didn't tell anyone else.

- (sighs) - And if you insist on keeping

this thing that is so great a secret, neither will I.

That is, if you let me come along.

- It's private.

- Graduation day is one of the least private days of your life.

- For you, maybe, but for me, it's private.

- Fine.

Stupid, but fine.

How 'bout you let me take you out to dinner to celebrate?

- Okay, if you let me pick the spot.

- All right, as long as it's not some dump.

This is a big deal.

There.

- Thanks. - Who would have thought?

You actually seeing something all the way through.

- If you don't like it, I don't have to do it again.

- Oh, I kinda like it.

- Hmm.

- I'm proud of you.

- (sighs)

So, you wanna walk me out?

- Mm-hmm.

(both laughing)

- Hey, what's going on?

- Oh, Ava was just telling me about her idea for Nouveau.

- Tell her-- tell her about the column.

- "Tilting at Windmills."

(both laughing)

- Um, I thought that we weren't supposed to share our ideas.

Healthy competition and all.

Do you want a chair?

- We can finish later. - Mm-hmm.

(both chuckling)

- I thought that our reports weren't due

until the end of the week.

- Oh, Ava just was too excited to wait.

And a suggestion?

Stop acting like I've taken something from you.

(phone ringing)

- Hello.

(Steve) - Check your e-mail.

- What? - Oh, just do it.

- Tell her the file's called "Maddy's World Tour."

- If you're having a bad day,

this is definitely gonna cheer you up.

- Aw.

Where are you guys?

- We're at the amusement park. I told you, remember?

- We took Maddy on the teacup ride.

- Four times-- she loved it.

- Well, it sounds great.

(bell rings) - Uh-oh.

Look at that, ice cream dead ahead.

Come on.

- Gotta go, honey. Busy day.

Love you. Bye.

- Yeah, I gotta go.

Very busy.

- Hi. - Hey.

I brought lunch.

But is it okay if we take a walk first?

- Yeah, it's fine.

So, how's Julie Ann? Have you talked to her today?

- Yeah. Yeah, her mom's staying with her for a week.

It helps if she's not alone. - Oh.

You know, we should find a restaurant in New York

that she likes and have them deliver in a few times a week.

- That's a good idea. In fact, I know a place,

and I'll call this afternoon.

- Just like that. - What?

- The way you take care of things.

- I'm just ordering her dinner.

- And that.

The way you make it seem so easy.

You do that with everything.

When Lauren was sick, you were patient and loving.

When Patrick needed you, you were there.

And now, Julie Ann and the baby.

- I hope you don't think any of that came at your expense,

because we are a team and we make decisions together.

- Mm-hmm, but we don't agree about this.

- Sure, we do.

We agree that-- that what is important,

what comes first is our relationship.

And if making that relationship work means me being the best,

most caring uncle that that baby could ever have,

then that's what I'm gonna be.

- I know you don't think that's the right thing to do, though.

- Well, yeah. If it was up to me,

I'd be the baby's father, but it's not.

It's up to us.

- I can't ask you to do that.

- Of course, you can.

- No, I can't. You don't understand.

I can't.

- Kelly, what is it? What's-- what's going on?

- I just need to be alone for a while.

Think.

Is that okay?

- Okay, well, I, uh-- I brought you the avocado-sprouts sandwich

and some of that eggless potato salad that you love so much.

We're gonna figure this out. I promise.

(doorbell rings)

- Yeah, I'm coming.

- Hey. - Hey.

One large thick crust with pepperoni.

- Great. - And that's $16.50.

- Keep the change. - This is a 50.

- Yeah, life's good.

Dinner's served.

- Mmm.

I can't believe we blew off the whole day.

Can we do it again tomorrow?

- Yeah, I think we can. - (laughs)

Ooh, yum. - Mmm.

- Uh... totally forgot.

What-- what were we talking about before the doorbell rang?

- Um... oh.

Yeah, I was saying, you know, I don't think

you should change your name.

I mean, it'd be a little weird if Donna Martin Originals

was owned and operated by Donna Silver.

- What about when we have kids? - We'll worry about it then.

- Mmm.

You know what? - Hmm?

- I want two kids.

And I want them both to look like you.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

(chuckles) - Mmm.

- Mmm, don't you wish we could just rewind

the last three years?

- No, not really.

- What? You liked playing the field?

- No, not really.

- (laughing) - You know what?

I'm glad I did, because now, I realize

how lucky I am to be with you.

- Oh, that was sweet.

- Mmm, thank you. I wrote it last night.

- (chuckles)

- You know what? I do have a problem.

- What? - Well...

I kind of want our kids to look like you.

- How 'bout if we compromise?

50/50.

- 50/50, huh? - Mm-hmm.

- All right, I think that can be arranged.

- Okay.

- Oh, boy, are we gonna miss out on pizza too?

(both laugh)

(knocking on door)

- We have a problem.

Matt is a great guy. He's incredibly thoughtful.

He wouldn't lie to me, he would do anything for me.

- Oh.

So, what's the problem?

- You know what the problem is, Dylan.

- No, I don't.

- You're not thoughtful.

I can't trust you, and you wouldn't do anything for me.

- Now, that is not true.

- It's how I feel.

- Then you gotta give me a chance.

I'll make you feel differently.

- No. Not if you're gonna let me down again.

- Yeah, imagine that.

Me with a degree in Humanities.

- How was it?

- It was okay.

Kelly...

I will never let you down.

- Okay, I'll see you then, 11:00.

I love you too.

(groans)

Just so you know what you're getting yourself into,

I am going directly to hell. - You're not going to hell.

You didn't do anything wrong. We didn't do anything wrong.

We just stayed up talking all night, it's not a crime.

- Matt is the most decent person I know.

- Yeah, you keep saying that.

- Well, it's true.

- I know it's true. He's very decent.

He's, uh, just in a tough spot right now, but...

these are not reasons to marry somebody.

- You know what I want more than anything?

Peace. - Yeah.

- I just want a little peace.

- I want you to call me after you talk to Matt.

Everything's gonna be fine.

- That's funny.

Matt keeps saying the same thing.

- Breakfast!

- Mmm.

You know, I think this might be some kind of a record

for most consecutive meals eaten in one place.

- Yeah, except we don't actually eat any of 'em.

- Yeah, that's about to change.

What?

- You've lost interest in me already, haven't you?

- Donna, we haven't eaten in two days.

Admit it, you're starving.

- I'm starving. - Thank you.

- (chuckles) Mmm.

What kind of wedding do you think we should have?

- Whatever you want.

- Mmm.

You're gonna make some woman a very good husband one day.

- You know, one of these days, we should probably get around

to telling our families.

- Yeah. That's a good idea.

Okay, can I have the phone? - Yeah?

- Mm-hmm.

Watch this.

Mom? Hey.

Are you sitting down?

Guess what?

- Hi. - Hey.

Uh, come on in, you want-- want me to get you some coffee

or something? - No, I'm okay, I-- no.

- It'll only take a second. - I just wanna talk to you.

- Okay.

- I think you should father the child.

- You do?

- Yeah, I... I think it would be the...

best thing for you.

- But what about for us?

Our wedding?

Kelly, what?

- I am so sorry.

- Sorry about what?

- (sighs) I, um... I can't marry you.

I know I'm gonna regret this.

- No, you're not gonna regret this,

because that's not happening, okay?

You're not backing out of this.

- You deserve better than me.

- Kelly, you are the one that I want.

- I'm sorry.

- Dylan put you up to this, didn't he?

- No, he didn't, but he does have something to do with it.

- Something to do with it.

He told you about my sleeping with Amy in the desert.

Kelly, it was a mistake.

And no matter how Dylan spins it, it was meaningless.

Now, I would have told you myself,

but I was scared, and-- and that was wrong.

But Dylan only told you so he can break us up.

And I think we're a lot stronger than that.

- Dylan didn't tell me anything.

- Well, then who did?

- You did. Just now.

- Kelly-- - No, don't, okay?

Just don't.

- Can you honestly say

that you haven't been even more unfaithful in your own way?

- No, I can't.

Which is why I know that breaking up

is the right thing to do.

(Ava and Charles chattering)

- We should focus on sexual politics in the workplace.

- It's official.

- What is? - The sale of the paper.

I finalized documents this morning,

which is why I'm here-- to celebrate.

And to apologize.

I never should've doubted you.

As always, you knew what was best for the both of us.

- Mmm, I don't know about that.

And if you think this is the wrong thing to do, honey...

- I'm gonna get Yoffe.

In the meantime, check these out.

(Ava laughing)

- I am so sorry about this.

- Mommy! - Hi.

When I found out I couldn't get off work,

if you hadn't been able to pick Caitlin up from day care,

I don't know what I would have done.

- It's okay.

- Can Noah stay longer?

Please, Mommy?

- We actually had a lot of fun.

- We turned my room into a rocket ship.

It is so cool. You have to come see it.

(both laughing)

- Wow!

(sighs) I'm sorry.

- What's the matter? - Nothing, nothing.

I just-- she's so happy.

(sighs)

- Listen, the other day, you asked me to commit.

The truth is I just can't right now.

I mean, I love being with you and Caitlin is amazing.

- But it's too quick.

- Yeah, for me, it is.

- Well, thank you for being so up-front.

- If we could just slow things down a little bit--

(Caitlin) - Mom, come on.

- Well, we can't.

- You didn't call.

Got a little worried.

- Why didn't you tell me about Amy?

- (sighs)

It was none of my business.

- You lied for him. You lied to me.

- Yeah.

But if I told you--

- I would have broken off the engagement

a lot sooner than I did.

- And come to me?

Probably?

And been with me because you were mad at him.

I didn't want that.

- So, you were just gonna sit back and watch me marry Matt,

knowing that he had cheated on me.

- You were committed to him.

- See, that is why this will never work between us.

- Why? - Because you had this

life-altering piece of information

and you kept it from me.

I thought we were friends.

- Yeah.

And when you get some distance on this...

(sighs) ...you'll see I acted like one.
