This is a Cal Vista presentation.

Go to dinner on the show.

Ride around in fancy cars.

Dress you up in fancy clothes.

Single men just tie you down.

They all want a family.

Then one day.

That will never happen to me.

Cause I will never love a single man.

I'll take love with no strings.

Hi,

Danny.

How you doing, Angie?

Okay, so that's a confirmation on the Georgetown Project. I want you to get a

hold of Larry Wilcox in the Eastern Division and tell him it's a go.

Hang on just a second.

Karen, thanks a lot. You're too good to me.

Yes, I know.

Now, don't forget your 10 o 'clock appointment.

It's important.

Right.

I'll tell you what.

Let me get back to you on Monday. Take care of that for me.

Oh, hi, Paul.

Listen, sweetheart.

Ellen's going away to Chicago again for a couple of days next week.

Can we meet?

Say, Thursday?

Same place?

About six.

I'll send my car again.

Next Thursday?

Sure, I think that can be arranged.

Great. I'll be looking forward to it, as always.

So am I, Paul.

Round six, right?

I'll see you then, sweetheart.

Bye.

What's this? A special occasion?

As a matter of fact, it is.

I've been waiting for the right moment to tell you.

Why don't you pull the line and get comfortable?

Come on, Ellen. What is it?

After this weekend, I won't have to leave anymore.

Why?

Because I'm changing my position to a new company. To bring in new clients and

sort of open up the field.

Who?

What are you talking about?

That's what I'm trying to tell you.

Lampert & Associates.

They're an architectural design company.

You've heard of them, I'm sure.

Anyway, they want me to start as soon as I get back.

Isn't it wonderful?

We can spend a whole lot more time together, darling.

That's fantastic, Ellen.

It's really great.

I know.

I'm excited.

Well, I'll tell you what I have in mind for you.

I'm going to put you into a position ahead of Stan and the other guys.

And I'll tell you why.

First of all, because I like you.

Second, you know most of the operations and... Well, I think you could do some

important favors for the company.

What do you think?

What do I think?

Carl, I'm flattered.

You know I'd do anything for you and the company.

Good.

Oh.

Oh.

Yeah.

Oh no!

Beautiful, Ellen.

Take it up. Take it all the way up.

Ride me.

Ride me, Ellen.

Oh, ride me, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, baby.

Oh, you bitch.

You wild bitch.

Oh, God.

Oh, baby. Oh.

I'm really glad for Karen.

Yeah? Getting that promotion.

She'll handle it well.

Karen takes pretty good care of herself.

You like her, don't you?

Yeah.

Karen, this is Ellen Simmons.

She's in charge of some of our Eastern projects.

Ellen, this is Karen Richards.

How do you do? It's a pleasure to meet you. Pleased to meet you, Mrs. Simmons.

Karen, you and Ellen will be working on some of the new accounts, so I'm sure

that you can both be of help to each other.

If you have any questions, just feel free to ask.

Fine. I think we can work things out.

If you'll both excuse me, I have some catching up to do.

Yes, sir.

I'm telling you, our little Miss Sweet Karen's got something going.

Yeah? Laugh. You laugh.

Think about it.

All right? First, she gets the promotion ahead of us.

That's one. Two, Mrs. Simmons comes to work for the company.

I'm telling you, she's got a plan for this company. I don't see us in it, Dan.

I mean, where are we at?

Take it easy, Stan.

Take it easy.

Take it easy.

You want to bet your paycheck?

I'll see you later.

That's right.

And bring some of those by later on this afternoon if you can.

Good.

Okay, bye -bye.

Everything going well, Karen?

Sure. You know how I like to operate under pressure.

You ought to know that I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for your

Karen, I'm joining a friend of mine this weekend, Richard Denton, to discuss

a very important and possible merger.

He's president of Allied Designers, and, well, his business could be a very

big asset to the company.

So now that you're in the executive branch, how would you like to join us?

Carl, I'm flattered, thank you.

But I've got other things. He and his wife would meet us at the airport in

private plane and we'd fly up to their cabin in the country.

It would mean a lot to the company and to me if you could join us.

Well, I would like to be able to think it over.

I have some other plans for this weekend.

Any chance of changing them?

I'm not sure.

I need some time.

You got it, Karen.

And don't worry about a thing. It's all taken care of.

Just let me know by tomorrow.

So, how have you been?

Fine, fine.

It's been a long time, Carl. It certainly has.

I'd like to meet my wife here.

I brought her along. How do you do?

Hello. I've heard a lot about you.

Good. Carol, is it?

Carol, hi.

This is my colleague.

This is Karen.

Karen, how do you do?

Karen is very happy to meet you. How are you doing?

Okay, Herman, go ahead and fire up. We need to take off.

I hope it isn't too bumpy. No, no, it'll be very nice.

When you see the view below, it'll be very nice. Can you fly low and pick up a

few grapes? There we go. Well, we may be able to point out the

wineries,

but I don't think we can quite manage that. We'll have something set up later

on. We might be able to open up a bottle for us. Great.

Who's going to do it?

Volunteers. Ladies, your turn.

Okay. If I am the guest, I'd be very happy to toast all of us to a nice

companionable weekend and to loops, very nice wine, and great choice of

restaurants.

Yes,

I'm really looking forward to it.

We should have a great time up there. The house is beautiful.

Oh, what do you mean? That's right.

The A -frame in the world.

This

is bad.

Karen, you couldn't look more impressive.

I knew we had to get together sometime, brother.

You shouldn't say such things to me.

You could steal my heart if I close my eyes.

Hey, Richard.

Oh. Everything all right?

Yeah, sure.

I just couldn't sleep. I'm going out of the bathroom.

Hey, well, listen. Why don't you come on in and join Karen and I for a nightcap?

Well, I don't want to disturb you. Is that okay? Sure. Come on in.

Okay.

Come on in, Richard.

Have a seat.

You've got just about anything you'd like back here.

Excuse me for just a minute, Richard.

What was it?

I'll tell you what. Why don't you make yourself a drink? I'll be back in a

little while.

All right, fine.

Karen, Richard is really going nuts.

He can hardly hold it back.

He really wants to just get close to you badly.

Karen, a really big deal depends on this.

I think you know what I'm talking about.

Carl, please. Karen, look, it's all right.

Just talk to him.

Be with him for a while.

Are you sure of what you're saying?

Richard's nice, but... Yeah.

Okay.

I just can't control myself.

Oh, Kat, I want you so badly.

It's here.

It's alive.

How dare

you?

Didn't know for sure.

Sort of took me by surprise.

Well, what about your wife, Carol?

Don't worry about Carol.

She's sound asleep.

So I dealt with Richard as best I could.

All I really wanted was Carl.

All I really wanted was for Carl to want me.

Don't you lay down, huh?

Lay down.

Oh, my

God.

Oh.

I hope I never have to go through that again.

Karen, it was worth it.

After this, we're set.

Richard now owes us a favor for life.

I just don't want you to lose respect for me.

Baby, don't worry about it.

You did really well.

I'll make it up to you, okay?

Thank you.

Yeah?

Hi, honey.

Just wanted to see how you were doing.

I miss you.

Oh, you do?

How nice.

So glad to remember after all this time.

Karen, of course I remembered.

I meant to call you sooner, but... It's all right, Paul. I understand.

I'm sure you've been busy with other things.

So how you been?

Just fine, really.

And you?

I've been okay.

Listen, Karen, it's been nice talking to you again, but I guess it's better this

way.

Yeah.

You're right, Paul.

It is better this way.

Yeah.

Oh, baby.

Oh, baby.

Oh, baby. Oh, baby. Oh, baby.

Oh, baby. Oh, baby.

Oh, baby. Oh, baby. Oh, baby.

Oh,

baby.

Oh,

baby.

Help me. Help me.

Help

me.

I'd like to be back sometime Saturday.

I may have to pick her up at the airport.

Really? I was hoping we could spend this weekend together.

Could be worse.

There goes Sunday brunch.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.

You need to call next week sometime.

Karen, come on.

Everything will be all right.

I know we don't spend enough time together, but... I'll work on it.

I know, Pop.

I know.

Hey, you still busy?

How about lunch?

Sorry, Aunt.

Take off for lunch.

Maybe tomorrow.

Later.

Alright.

Ha ha ha.

And don't forget, we're going to be together on Easter Sunday.

We have that day for brunch, remember?

I promise you anything, baby.

I haven't felt this good for a long time.

I had a great time with Carl.

Oh, boy.

Haven't I heard that line before?

Well, it's true.

That's just because he's a married man and you're still afraid of any kind of

commitment. I wish you'd just break it off right here before you get in too

deep. Look, my way, you don't get hurt.

But you were hurt the last three times.

I just feel it's going to work out better this time.

Karen, it's just not healthy to only go out with married men.

What about a guy like him?

A nice guy.

He's been a friend to you.

I'm concerned about you.

Thanks. I'll be okay.

Well, listen.

How about joining Steve and me for Easter lunch?

I don't think so. I'm going to spend the day with Carl.

Are you sure?

What do you mean?

I mean, you had a date last Easter, and you spent it alone.

This time it's different. Carl promised to spend all of Sunday with me.

What about his wife and kids?

What about them?

Listen, it's no problem.

I just wish people would get out of my business, you know?

All right, all right.

I just don't want to see you get hurt. That's all.

and once again, just when I'm really getting close to a man I've left myself

open to, the door closes on me.

It wasn't so long ago.

I remember some of those wonderful times with Paul.

We always met in wonderful surroundings, a special place, just for us.

Anything to make me happy.

We just had something unique together.

She was so good to me.

I always felt so special with him.

There wasn't anything I wouldn't do for Paul.

I must have been trying so hard to make him happy that I forgot about myself.

I was his mistress for over a year.

I really trusted Paul.

It was the perfect arrangement.

Both of us.

I gave myself completely to Paul.

Oh, Paul.

Fabulous.

You are so incredibly sweet to me.

We had fun with each other.

We were so close.

Perhaps a little too close.

We just had something unique together.

You have to forgive my impatience.

Sometimes I just can't wait to be alone with you again.

It's because you know I'm going to tear you apart.

I have a little something special for you.

You do, huh?

Wait right here.

Will I do?

Do I look blind?

Cool.

Fucking suck me, baby.

Suck me, Karen.

Yeah.

Suck my cock, baby.

Suck my cock, baby. Come on, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh,

yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

to be here with you, Pop.

This will probably be the last time we'll be able to see each other.

Oh, hi. What do you mean?

My wife, Ellen, won't be going away on any more business trips.

She's working for a new company.

The same one you work for.

What?

She starts real soon.

I'm really sorry.

Just like that.

It's been so perfect.

Why? Why can't we go on like we've been?

Karen, please.

Don't make it any more difficult than it already is.

Said he couldn't marry her.

That was that.

Goodbye, Paul Simmons.

Oh, Karen.

I don't understand.

Why don't you give up on these married men?

This is the third time you've been burned in four years.

You know what I think?

No. I'm not sure I want to.

Well, I'm going to tell you anyway.

I think you're afraid of single men because it might lead to a permanent

relationship.

And you're still afraid of making a commitment.

But I've always been satisfied with my love life.

Until... Have you?

Always second to his wife and kids.

Look, I don't want a man to leave me the way my father left my mother and I 20

years ago.

I can't go through that again.

I won't.

It just isn't fair to you, Caroline.

You're right.

It isn't.

I'll get it.

I'll get some more coffee.

Okay.

Hello?

Hello, Carl?

Karen, what the hell are you doing?

Look, I'm sorry about today. I just couldn't disappoint my wife and kids.

Star, you have the wrong number.

Happy Easter anyway.

Okay, how about tomorrow at 10?

Okay. We got it. Bye -bye.

I, uh... I'd like to apologize for Sunday.

A peace offering?

You think it's that simple?

You walk in here, hand me a flower, and all is forgiven?

Well, you're wrong.

You could have at least called.

Now look, let's get a few things straight.

At least I came in here to apologize.

I didn't have to.

And as long as you're the other woman in my life, don't you ever call my

home. What do you mean, other woman?

You know exactly what I mean.

As long as we have our...

Little arrangement.

You've got to go by the rules.

I thought we agreed on that.

Now listen.

We have a luncheon date tomorrow with another couple.

And it's important that we be there.

Two o 'clock.

Right?

I'll be there.

I'm really glad we could get together, Jack.

It's been a long time since I've seen you and Judy.

It's my pleasure, Paul. You know, we've covered a lot of new ground lately.

Really busy.

Looks like you've been pretty busy yourself.

Tell me, Karen, have you been working with Carl for some time now, or...?

actually, I just recently got the key to his executive bathroom.

But I have been with the company for quite some time now.

For reservation?

Yes, James. Ed James?

Step right over here.

Oh, no.

Shit.

What's the matter?

That's Ed James from the San Diego office over there.

I can't let him see us together, especially here.

Listen, I can't really stay for the rest of the evening.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to go.

Can you drive her home?

It was nice of Jack to sit up front.

I told him we had to talk.

About what?

About being a married man's woman.

It isn't an easy life.

And from what I can see, you have a lot to learn about it.

You can only see them a couple of times a week.

Sometimes for only a few hours.

You can never spend time with them on holidays.

Their wives and children always come first.

They cancel a date at the last minute, and yet they expect you to be ready to

at a moment's notice.

You know something?

You better be ready to go, because they can always find someone who will be.

They can call you at home, and yet you don't dare call them.

It's a very lonely life.

Just look at me.

It sounds so harsh.

So cold.

You'll have to decide that for yourself, Karen.

I made my decision nine years ago.

happens when i start getting nasty i want to see you less and less good night

karen

Hello. Hello, Dan.

Oh, hello, Karen. How are you?

All right, I guess.

Dan, I just want to thank you for everything you've done for me, for being

real good friend.

Oh, sure.

Is everything okay, Karen?

Dan, I've decided to take a leave of absence.

I need to be by myself for a while.

Do you think you could tell Carl for me?

Of course.

But are you sure it's the right thing to do?

I mean, absolutely.

I've thought about this very carefully.

I have to be fair to myself.

Well, Karen, if you need any help, you feel free to call.

Okay?

Thanks for everything, Dan.

Bye.

Oh, I'm sorry. Is this your camp?

No, it's all right. Really.

Actually, I'm going to the airport. If you're going my way, we could share the

ride.

Well, I... Are you married by any chance?

Well, yes, I am.

Oh, thanks.

I think I'll walk today.

I've had it with married men.

They'll treat you the same.

They like to cheat on their wives.

It's such a macho game.

The married man will tell you he doesn't like his

wife.

But he can't seem to leave her.

Says it would ruin her life.

Well, I'd rather walk the day.

I've been for so many rides.

Yes, I'd rather walk today.

I've heard so many lies.

I'd rather walk today.

I've seen the other side.
