Lovely ballroom. Always one of my favorites. Don't you think so, Kelly?

Very nice, Logan.

Well, I think the extra bouquets you suggested will work beautifully.

I'm glad you came early.

Well, we thought we'd make a weekend of it.

After all, not every day your daughter's betrothed.

We're all checked in?

Oh, darling, this is Mark Danny.

Oh, yes. How do you do, sir? You're the one who's going to tell me how large a

check to write on. Well, something like that. But we can iron the details out

later. Why don't I show you to your suite?

Good morning, Christine.

Hey.

How about using your direction? We might have been killed.

I'm sorry, Peter.

I was simply sorry.

Can I guess?

I don't think so.

What do you think? A bad night?

Maybe a good night.

Hi, can I help you, sir?

Hi, G. Myers.

I have a reservation.

Welcome to the St. Gregory's.

Christine. Hi.

Hi. I just spoke with Doug. He'll be here first thing in the morning.

Doug? My cousin from Washington, the lobbyist. Oh, right. I told you the

winner. A real Tom Selleck lookalike. We'll have a great time. Talk to you

later.

I won't be long. A couple of hours.

I thought you two were going out to buy up San Francisco.

I don't feel like it.

Love you, baby.

Love you, too, Daddy.

See you all later.

Bye, then.

Couldn't you be a little more enthusiastic?

Enthusiastic about what?

Well, most young girls would consider this to be one of the most exciting

weekends of their life.

Would they, Mother?

I don't understand.

You've been planning this since you and Brad were in high school.

Well, we're not in high school anymore.

What is this sudden turnaround?

What turnaround?

Daddy's the one who's in love with Brad Dodge.

Darling, I wasn't mad about your father when I married him.

But he was a good man, and I knew that he loved me and respected me.

And I also knew that he'd be a good father and provider.

I grew to love him.

That's really the way it works.

Is this your lesson of life?

Kelly, it's an engagement, not a life sentence.

Are you telling me to just get engaged? We don't have to get married?

Hello? Kel, it's me.

Mr. Danning, how are you? I have to talk to you.

I'll be in the bar off the lobby.

I'll get back to you, Mr. Danning.

Well, what did he want?

The music. He wanted me to decide on the music for the orchestra.

He's very thoughtful, isn't he?

Sensitive.

Very sensitive.

Peter, I'm pretty much caught up. I'd like to take a little time off this

afternoon.

Sure.

Anything wrong?

A personal business.

A friend has a little problem.

Well, give him my regards.

It's not a him.

Sorry.

So go, do.

Peter, I'm sorry.

I'll be better.

Christine, you could never be better.

See ya.

But I love you.

Doesn't that mean anything?

We had an affair. That's not love.

What's happening to you?

You're getting engaged to a guy you don't even give a damn about.

There's more to marriage than sex.

That's not a bad start.

I don't understand how you can let your parents push you into this. This isn't

the 19th century. You're not living in some Victorian novel.

I do care about you, David.

Kelly. Daddy.

I thought we had an understanding about this.

Sir, I think that's the last thing any of us have.

Understanding. Kelly, do you think it's discreet for you to continue seeing this

young man?

Is this what you want?

It's exactly what I want.

It was terrible.

Such a lovely person.

31 and two beautiful children. I don't know how her husband's going to manage.

Was he? Well, they opened her up and it was everywhere.

Sometimes you ask yourself, what's the point?

True. If you haven't got your health, you have nothing.

Darling, you're not even dressed.

I'm not going.

But, well, I was expecting. I don't care what everybody's expecting.

Don't you care?

Doesn't Daddy care?

It isn't just for him, darling. It's for you. For us.

Why can't you believe we only want the best for you?

Your father wants me to marry a man I don't love to save his precious

You know, you've never done without because of your father.

When you're born with a silver spoon, you don't know what it's like to eat

plastic.

A little Dodge money could put your father back on his feet.

Mother, can't you hear me? I love someone else.

Don't you think I know what love is? What passion is?

Oh, Kelly, please don't destroy your whole life for an orgasm.

Maybe I can learn to love Brad Dodge. And maybe I won't. But I do know one

thing, Mother. He'll never be the father of my child.

What are you talking about?

The child in my body.

David's. And I'm going to have it, no matter what happens.

Hello.

Jonathan?

Jonathan Talbot?

It is you!

Victoria, how are you?

Well, I'm very well, thank you. Where have you been all these years? Oh, the

Four Corners and back again.

Well, you might have stopped by to say hello once or twice. Well, I'm afraid

that I've abandoned the social graces. And seeing you now, though, I think I'm

damn fool.

If you leave without a cup of tea, at least, I'm going to be very angry.

I, uh, I also have something more bracing. Oh, no, no, no. I've been on

wagon longer than I care to remember.

Good for you, Jonathan.

Listen, I'm in a terrible hurry. Would you please call me? I want to hear the

entire travelogue. I shall bring my slides.

Well,

there's no question there's a man.

I could feel it.

You see the white area on the upper left?

With the ultrasound, it establishes the mass as solid.

What does that mean?

It has to come out.

But all indications are you needn't worry. It feels firm and mobile, which

good sign it's probably benign.

And if it isn't?

We really won't know till we see the tissue and examine it under the

If... if it's malignant?

We remove the lump, any suspicious tissue, some lymph nodes.

And what else?

Please, Doctor, I need to know everything.

Christine, don't get yourself worked up. We always let our imaginations run away

with us.

It's not our imaginations, Doctor.

It's my breast.

Pregnant? Then what's all this carrying on about being forced to marry Dodge?

It's not Brad.

What? Well, then who the hell... Oh, God.

The math teacher.

You say it like it's a disease.

She's got to get rid of it.

Darling, she's not a child anymore.

You can't just manipulate her life to suit your end. Tell that to the bank.

What are we doing to her?

Saving her from a life that she'll regret.

Now, the only baby she's going to have is a Dodge.

If you can't convince her, I will.

Take care of it right away.

Hi. I left the banquet room bookings on your desk.

Oh, Mark.

About tomorrow with... What's his name? Doug.

I think I'd rather take a rain check.

Really? Gee, I thought the two of you would make a perfect pair. I don't want

be a perfect pair.

I just don't feel much like socializing.

Sure, it's okay. I'll talk to you later.

I must say, you make a very attractive couple.

We'll have great -looking kids.

Right, Kelly?

So, what's the itinerary?

Well, Fletcher Barton's throwing a little bash tonight.

He'll probably be my best man.

Anyway, we'll hit his place, then on to Mom and Dad's club. They want to show

Kelly off to the crowd.

How nice.

Hello.

I have been looking all over for you.

Now, obviously, you are Kelly.

And this is Brad.

I'm Jonathan Talbot.

Jonathan?

Oh, no, Margo, you are...

And not seeing a ghost.

I'm sure that Margot has not mentioned to you your Uncle Jonathan, you see.

I'm the black sheep of the family.

How come you never told me?

Now, I know I'm quite a surprise.

But you certainly are not to me. Margot, she's absolutely beautiful.

You're a lucky young man.

What are you doing here, Johnny?

I thought that I had overstayed my absence and that the least I could do

be to make an appearance at my favorite niece's engagement party.

Am I your favorite?

The truth?

You are the one.

The only one. I hate to break up this family reunion, but we should get going.

We can go to a party anytime.

This is my uncle. I've never met him.

No, no, no. Kelly, you go ahead. We'll have plenty of time to catch up.

Enjoy yourself. This is a beautiful time being in love.

Take every bit that you can while you can.

An elusive thing, this love business, don't you think, Margo?

Will you come by the suite tomorrow?

You can count on it.

Nice meeting you.

Same here.

Bye -bye.

20 years, and you just...

Walks back into our lives.

It's been a long time since we've walked together.

You work out the problem?

Problem? You said your friend had a little problem?

Oh, yeah.

I wasn't really expecting you back.

I had no place else to go.

What's the matter?

I woke up.

Can we go out and get drunk?

Sure, we can order up if you want. No, no, I want to get out of the hotel.

Come on.

Come on.

What's this?

I told Fletch we might be a little late.

Why?

Hey, getting engaged on Sunday.

I feel like we barely know each other anymore.

You used to think I kissed pretty good.

I'm not going to bed with you.

Tonight or ever.

I know you're used to having your way.

I heard you were involved with a couple of married women at your parents' club.

Good news travels fast.

What am I supposed to do?

I mean, you clinging to this virginity bit like it's... Well, you're not adding

me to the list.

Hey.

I popped for the old solitaire, didn't I?

Do I have to defend my intentions?

Why do you want to marry me anyway?

Who else would I marry?

Aren't you the perfect girl for me?

I guess I am.

Hey.

I'm just a guy.

with normal needs, who loves you.

Come on, Kelly.

Do you reserve a room?

See, you're doing more to yourself.

It's 90%, it's benign.

That's what I said to my dad.

About my mother.

I said, gee, Dad, the doctors say it's 90 % sure Mom's going to be okay.

Not that she looked any different.

Except maybe to my dad when she got into bed.

Nine months later, they removed the other one.

She didn't look so good then.

We all knew it was a matter of time before they took all of her.

I remember watching her get sicker and sicker.

Like a beautiful red apple.

Slowly shriveling away.

She told the 14 -year -old daughter everything was going to be just fine.

I'm sorry.

She was...

38 when she died.

38.

They've made a lot of progress in the last few years.

You think much about death, Peter?

Not any more than I have to.

I suppose it's inevitable, isn't it?

I was wondering where you were.

Look who I ran into.

Jonathan.

Looking good, Ned.

What are you looking for? A handout?

I stopped worrying about money, Ned, the day you taught me how quickly one could

lose it.

Was this your idea?

No, I caught the announcement in the paper.

Kelly, it's a lovely name for a lovely girl.

Oh, I get it.

You thought it was time to come back and stir up some trouble.

No.

I thought it was time to come back and say hello to my daughter.

Kate.

All right.

What happened to the lights? I know I paid myself.

Oh, there's a lot of things you've never seen.

Yeah? What else are you going to show me?

Where do you want to start?

Hold me, Peter.

I'm scared.

It's all going to be fine.

Good morning.

Early to bed and early to rise.

I left well enough alone.

Oh.

Yeah, I have a little of that myself.

I don't remember what happened.

Oh, you should have been there.

It was very nice.

We kissed, didn't we?

I remember it well.

Fact is, I probably won't ever forget it.

What else will you forget?

How you passed out.

Passed out?

I never pass out.

That's okay.

Those two bottles of Chiani probably saved us a lot of heavy recriminations.

Peter, I'm sorry.

About which part?

Kelly, can we talk?

Nothing to talk about.

I solved all our problems.

I slept with Brad last night.

Oh, honey, I... So you see, I can probably marry anybody you want. They're

stupid enough to believe the baby's theirs.

But you and Brad have been friends since you were just kids. We always thought

that you would... Please, Daddy, stop.

Or you'll have me believing this was my idea.

Everything was great until that nothing came along.

Jonathan? Oh, not that one. The other one.

What about Jonathan?

Is he going to blow everything?

He just wants to fear. He doesn't want to hurt anybody.

Come on. He'd love to destroy me.

You don't think there's a grudge?

He still thinks I ruined him.

He probably doesn't remember what a lush he was.

You could have helped him.

Helped him? I picked up his mess, didn't I?

Raised his daughter like she was my own?

Meth? Is that what I was? A meth?

I'm sorry.

You know what I mean.

Why do you judge everybody by the thickness of their wallet?

Was there a touch of remorse in that comment?

You never complain when he's staggered out of your life. It strikes me as

strange that suddenly you and your daughter think that the nothings, the

have so much more to offer.

That is a $1 ,200 suit, custom -made. It hardly fits him.

Giorgio. Yes, he does beautiful work.

I should have him let it out, though. Put on a few pounds since I quit

He's lying.

Take it easy. Take it easy.

Excuse me, Mr. Talbot, but are you a guest in the hotel? No.

But I'm here to have a spot of lunch with Mrs. Cabot.

And that tie happens to be a gift from... From his favorite niece, Uncle

Jonathan. Did you wear it to please me or Mrs. Cabot?

Gentlemen, would you excuse us? We are late for lunch.

Please don't be annoyed with Peter for having discussed this with me.

He's very concerned about how you're taking this.

I'm not doing real well.

Don't expect me to say you're overreacting.

I had a scare like this myself once.

You did?

It's terrifying.

And I... I also have a friend who's had a messed up...

How did she handle it?

She's learned that being a woman is more than having breasts.

I suppose I do sound vain.

No, you don't.

And any man who can't accept you that way isn't a man worth knowing.

You take certain things for granted.

Like life.

You should have a second opinion.

Please let me call Dr. Newman. I'm sure he'll see you right away.

Mrs. Kelly.

If it were you, and it was, you know,

cancer, would you see if they could treat it, or

would you not take that chance?

Either way is a chance.

I like being your favorite niece.

But you're not my uncle, are you?

Well, don't tell your mother.

You and mother were involved once?

Was I that obvious?

Why are you here?

Well, now's to find out why you're going to marry that boy.

Talk about obvious.

If you knew my father, you'd understand.

Try me.

I guess it's really unfair to blame Daddy.

Brad and I have known each other forever.

We played house in second grade, and I guess everybody just assumed that we'd

play house together when we grew up.

Now you find it's not so much fun after you're grown up?

Oh, it's not that.

Just, I want to play with somebody else.

Oh, and your father disapproved?

He... Well, he's not up Daddy's decimal points.

How unforgivable.

The problem is, Daddy needs a little Dodge money to get him out of a bind.

I guess I'm telling you all this because you seem like somebody who probably

believes in love.

I've been accused of that.

David.

That's the boy I want to play house with.

We've made a baby.

And I want to have it.

Of course you do.

Never give up anything that comes with love.

Because you may never get another chance.

Now, if we combine both processing divisions, the savings could be

Exactly what I was thinking.

Centralized sales in the Omaha office.

Then both areas will be twice as cost -efficient.

Margo. Uh -huh?

Victor had some interesting thoughts about putting us together with Telda.

Really? How wonderful.

Is there a spot for my future son -in -law?

I'm sure that can be worked out.

Mr. Howland, Mr. Ned Howland. Over here, young man. I'm Mr. Howland. Yes, sir.

There's Mr.

Talbot expecting you in the Cavalier bar.

Thank you. Thank you, sir. You go ahead.

We've got to call it a night anyway.

It's been a lovely evening.

Good to see you. Good night. Good night.

What the hell is he up to?

Two lovers.

You always were a spoiler.

When have I ever spoiled anything for you, Ned?

I gave you your wife, I gave you your child, and now I'm about to give you

your self -respect.

Call it off, Ned.

You're drunk.

Probably.

Brad's her kind. He'll be good for her. He's substantial.

Just like you.

If you do anything out of line, I'll ruin you.

Ned, you can't ruin me, you see. I'm nothing.

You helped make sure of that a long time ago. Don't you remember?

Are you going to tell Kelly who you are?

I don't hurt people just to satisfy my own selfish ends.

So what is it going to be, Ned?

Are you going to tell the Dodgers that you're broke or that their future

daughter -in -law is pregnant by another man?

Get the pen out, will you? I'm just a little short.

Was that hello or goodbye?

I'm pregnant.

Me?

So what's the problem?

I slept with Brad so he wouldn't know.

My God, Kelly, you've got your head on backwards.

It all made sense at the time.

Why are you here?

Well, maybe you should tell your old man that or Brad Dodge next time you're in

bed with him. I'm not going to marry Brad.

I was just going along until... Until what? Until the baby comes?

I'm sorry.

I'm so confused.

I'm just trying to do what's right for everybody.

Kelly, why don't you just do what's right for you?

And for me.

And for our baby.

Who is

it? It's Peter.

I thought you were going to call.

I'm sorry.

I seem to have trouble communicating these days.

It was pretty much what the other doctor said.

He was very reassuring, but... He said the longer I put it off,

the greater the risk.

If I called tonight, he could fit me in tomorrow.

Call.

It's a little like the dentist.

That's all it is.

Let's get that tooth pulled.

It's not a tooth, Peter.

That's right, it isn't.

Christine, you have to do it now.

I don't want to lose you.

Will you be there?

Start to finish.

Is it okay if I tell you I love you?

I mean... You know what I mean.

I know exactly what you mean.

Dial.

Dr. Newman, please.

Thank you, Mrs. Cabot.

Thank you for everything.

Bye.

Compliments of the management.

Everybody's keeping their fingers and toes crossed.

They're beautiful.

I'm saving the complimentary bottle of champagne.

Till later.

Peter, you don't have to hang around all day. It's probably going to be a while.

Hey, the old hotel will never know we're gone.

Good morning.

How you doing?

Hi, Larry Newman.

Peter McDermott.

They treating you all right here?

I'm starving.

I'm always hungry when I'm nervous.

Now, I probably won't get you in until early this afternoon, okay?

But I have some...

papers for you to sign here.

Standard releases.

How standard?

It simply states that we're going to perform the lumpectomy and that we'll

the lab work, the biopsy, in the OR.

And if there are any problems... Problems?

What we talked about yesterday.

Malignancy. We have permission to go ahead and do whatever's necessary.

Okay?

Baby, you better stay.

Let me talk to him.

He's a drunk, Margot.

He told me himself he has nothing to lose.

He won't hurt Kelly.

To get me?

I wouldn't be too sure.

Aren't you confusing the issue?

Just don't get it, do you? Don't you see the scenario? It's us all over again.

Only this time he wants to be sure that she ends up with nothing.

It's not the same.

I married you because I loved you.

Did you?

Do you have any doubt?

I was right for you, wasn't I?

Ned, we went through this 20 years ago.

The Dodge boy, he's right for Kelly.

Is there any harm if it's right for us, too?

No harm.

Don't go bossing everyone around in there.

You'll be here when I come out.

Come out? I'm just going to scrub up as soon as you leave.

It's going to be all right, isn't it, Peter?

Sure.

I mean, I'll be the same, won't I?

You're the same.

You probably bore everybody talking about your operation.

I don't want you to think I keep taking advantage of you while you're under the

influence.

another one coming when you come out.

Maybe we should do this when I'm more awake.

And spoil a good thing?

Hello. Kelly.

Hi.

Surveying the battlefield?

Oh, I just needed to be alone.

Please, sit down.

When you're young, it's difficult to see the whole picture, especially if

passion is the most exciting thing in life.

You can say it, Daddy. It's called sex.

I have nothing against sex. Your mother and I have a very satisfying

relationship. So it's okay as long as you do it with someone who can afford

It doesn't just boil down to money.

You're stirring the pot. What does it boil down to?

Security. For me or the business?

For all of us.

I'm going to go through with this tonight.

For you, for Mother, for your precious business.

For all these people, it would be too embarrassing to embarrass.

But I'm not going to have an abortion.

And I am never going to marry Brad Dodge.

But there's one thing I don't understand, and that's all of this

business. I mean, if you want to do it, I say do it.

You mean get married or, hmm?

Both.

Excuse me, Mrs. Cabot.

Oh, excuse me. Right.

How is she? Peter said she's in recovery now, but he hasn't talked to the

doctor. He had to go into another surgery.

Well, let me know right away. Yes, ma 'am.

Brad is talking about a honeymoon in the Greek Isles. Oh, I'm sure Kelly will be

thrilled.

Excuse me. Go ahead.

Thanks very much, George.

Lydia, have a good time.

How the hell could you wait till now to lay this bomb?

What can I say?

You have every right to be angry. What were you thinking?

About the path, I guess.

Nothing's changed, has it?

There are some things that just never change.

I guess you've had enough fortification to do what you came here for.

Well, now, if you had stuck with me, then neither of us would be standing

right now. That would have been a change.

You know, I have no regrets about where I'm standing.

If nothing else, you've made me realize that I did make the right decision.

What about your daughter's happiness?

Does that concern you?

Do you think she's going to be happy marrying that boy?

Excuse me, everyone.

Are you all having a good time?

I won't take a moment to make my speech, but I'm afraid it's not the speech that

you've been expecting.

There's been a change in menu.

Kelly Hallam will not be engaged to Bradley Dodge tonight.

The party still goes on.

So let's all eat and drink and be merry.

For tomorrow, we'll all pay the consequences.

I'm sorry, Brad.

Well, I never believed in long engagements.

That took a lot of guts Thank you You're the best father I ever had

I'm all bandaged up.

It's a very big bandage for a very small lump. Your doctors are very insecure.

I'm all there.

Yeah, except for a little something you'll never miss.

And I understand a small scar will leave you with little to talk about.

to nothing.

I'm only sorry you won't be needing me anymore.

Sure I will.

I don't suppose we'll have any reason to kiss again.

I don't know.

I have a birthday coming up.
