Thank you.

And you said it was going to be a waste of time.

You're not even looking.

Oh, I am. I am.

Isn't it beautiful?

Absolutely gorgeous.

Come on.

Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Medford. Honey, I'll take care of it. Welcome to the St.

Gregory.

Our special guest from Fort Wayne.

The Medfords. Hi, Mark Danik, Director of Guest Relations.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

How was your flight? Great. Now that we're back on solid ground again.

Terra Firma does have a lot to recommend it, but so does the St. Gregory.

So I've heard.

Listen, now, you must be very excited. Congratulations.

I am. Thank you. Why don't I show you to your room?

Please.

Where'd you race off to last night? I did not say goodbye. You don't realize

Oh, I met a friend at the movie.

A friend?

A girlfriend.

You see anything good?

An oldie but goldie, weathering heights.

Really? I haven't seen that in a long time.

The scene in the inn where Olivier's on the moors and he's crying, Kathy, Kathy.

I still remember how that got to me.

Yeah, it got to me, too, until someone in the balcony started yelling, I'm

I'm here.

Come on.

Hello. Mrs. Jack Fitzpatrick. I need a suite for a few days.

I don't have a reservation.

I'm sorry, Mrs.

Fitzpatrick, but we don't have any vacancies.

Oh,

just my luck.

Well, if you'd like me to call another hotel.

Doesn't my friend, Victoria Cabot, have one tiny little room stashed away?

Well, after all, you never can tell when old friends are going to pop into town.

Let me check with our booking office.

Maybe there's a delay or cancellation that's not in the computer yet.

I appreciate it.

Enjoy your stay. If there's anything you need, please let me know. Thank you.

Hi, Mark. Mr. Nicholson, how are you? I'm good. Thanks.

Hi, Warren Nicholson, marketing director for Today's Woman.

On behalf of all of your new friends here at the magazine, it's a great

to meet you.

Thank you. My husband, Dennis.

We all think your wife is extremely talented.

Her dress designs are really outstanding, really professional.

She's always been good with a needle and thread.

She certainly sewed up this contest.

You must be very proud of her, huh?

Yes, it's getting rather difficult keeping up with all of Barbara's little

accomplishments.

Honey, why don't you see about rustling up some lunch?

Hey, you are our guest.

Champagne is already on ice, and as soon as we go over the schedule, we'll go

downstairs and toast her good fortune.

Oh, give me a yell when you're ready. I got some calls to make.

I'm still in a daze. I never even won a bun warmer before.

Well, it only gets worse.

When we get finished with you, you'll really be in a spin.

It's like a dream, especially San Francisco. And I can't go home without

little toy cable cars for my children.

And don't forget about all the other prizes we have for you.

Oh, yes, the beauty makeover.

I'll put that to good use, won't I?

If your husband thought you were a winner before,

just wait till he sees you tonight.

One tiny little room stashed away.

And so they gave you the aha, sweet.

The aha.

As in, aha, we do have a vacancy.

You're wondering why I need a hotel room when I live just over the hill.

Well, I thought, uh, house painters or... That's why I've always loved you,

Victoria.

You're so wonderfully tactful.

And I'm so damn stupid.

What is it? What's wrong?

Why don't you ask me what's right?

Not very much, I'm afraid.

Jack?

I had to get away.

Clear my head.

Not that it'll do any good.

Oh, I thought you were happy together.

So did I.

Until he told me adultery made him even happier.

So it's that serious.

Worse.

I desperately want him back.

Excuse me. Mr.

McDermott's on the phone.

Uh, I'll call him back.

Peter's still with you then?

Oh, it's quite a love affair.

With the St. Gregory.

Okay, Barbara, give me a big smile.

That's it.

Lift your chin a little.

Fat.

Great.

How about one with the two of you?

Oh, sure.

Thanks.

Well, that ought to be it for now.

I'll catch up with you later. All right.

So this is what you call the royal treatment, eh?

Well, 6 ,000 contestants, but only one grand prize winner.

Say, listen, I think we'd better order because your salon appointment's 2 o

'clock. Well, you're not going to change a good thing, are you?

I think California agrees with you. Nah, it's a little fine -tuning, that's all.

It's part of the promotion.

Some before and after pictures, a little press party.

Well, if you're going to be busy all afternoon, maybe I'll take Danny up on

offer of some sightseeing.

Oh, couldn't we go tomorrow together?

The schedule's pretty tight.

Why don't you order me one of those Monte Cristos, baby, and I'll be back in

sec.

This is how Cinderella must have felt.

Then I'd say Prince Charming was a pretty lucky guy.

It's Thursday night at the St. Gregory, and Jerome, our wine steward, is

decanting the perfect Bordeaux.

I don't love it.

It's terrific.

Oh, come on. Decanting the perfect Bordeaux? Talk about snobby.

Can't we do something simple, something straightforward, like... Have dinner at

our house?

Sounds good to me.

You know you are.

How are you, Peter?

It's been a while, hasn't it?

A very long while.

Oh, my assistant Christine Francis, Adrian Fitzpatrick. How do you do?

Excuse me.

Just decided to drop by, or...? No, not really. I'm staying here. If not for the

duration, at least for a few days. Oh, Jack with you?

No, he's not.

That's why I'm here.

Oh, I see.

I'm sorry.

Now there are two of us.

I hear your new Gorham room rivals Chez Panisse. Uh -huh.

Care to hear my tale of woe over Beef Wellington?

Oh, I'm really pretty tied up. Please.

It's for a very good cause, Peter.

I remember when we both had a little more time for each other.

And a time when we both said goodbye.

Can't we say hello again?

He used to go away on these endless business weekends.

Did you ever hear of a weekend that was five days long?

I'm sorry. I'm boring you. I didn't mean to.

Oh, you're hurting.

I wish there was something I could do.

I guess there isn't.

You and Jack never saw eye to eye anyway.

Adrienne, we hardly knew each other when you met him. You and I were already

history.

I never knew what I wanted.

Maybe that's the problem.

Sure you did.

Security, station, all the things that Jack could give you.

Till now.

Eight years.

And then he just cut me off.

I never cheated on him. I never wanted to.

I trusted him and he betrayed me. It's just not fair.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. That's not your problem.

Except we had something very lovely once, didn't we?

That was a long time ago.

And now you're a guest in my hotel.

You're not going to pull that on me, are you?

Not when I'm... Peter, I'm just so afraid.

It's like being lost in the dark.

You'll find your way home again.

What good is home?

If there's no one there to welcome me back.

How's the big event going?

Have you seen her yet? No.

She really looks beautiful.

Well, I'm not surprised.

I am surprised to see somebody as cute as you, though, this side of the camera.

Thanks. I used to be a big camera buff myself.

If you ever need any help, I'm a real handy guy in the dark.

I like to work alone, thanks.

You should give it a try with someone else.

You'd be amazed at what could develop.

You should be careful, Mr. Medford.

Fooling around with someone else's developers, you could get badly stained.

Jesus.

Mr. Warren Nicholson.

Thank you.

Thank you very much. On behalf of Today's Woman, the magazine that answers

tomorrow's questions, it gives me great pleasure to introduce this year's winner

of our prestigious Designs for Tomorrow Award.

They really are pretty remarkable, aren't they?

Please help me welcome Mrs. Barbara Medford.

from Fort Wayne, Indiana, wearing one of her own creations.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Maybe I had one glass of wine too many.

And several martinis.

I don't care.

I feel wonderful.

Don't you feel wonderful, Peter?

The ever -inscrutable McDermott.

What does a lady have to do to get kissed around here?

You'll feel better in the morning.

Says who?

The ever -inscrutable McDermott.

Hi, Mr. McDermott. Hey, Dave.

few minutes we'll have a brandy oh thanks but it's late that's why they

a nightcap good night agent what's the matter suddenly i'm past my prime i

think that's ever going to be your problem but that's not why we had dinner

sorry you and jack are having problems you're not sorry at all you don't even

give a damn don't touch me don't ever come near me again

some rest now, because we've got a big day planned for you tomorrow.

Bigger than tonight, I don't see how.

Good night.

Good night.

You were great.

Really terrific.

You know, you really are very beautiful.

Hey, sorry you had to leave so early.

Your wife here made quite an impression. On me in particular.

Well, good night.

Good night.

And thank you. Thank you for everything.

You bet.

Good night.

Why are you suddenly so amorous?

Have you forgotten our honeymoon?

The back seat of your father's car?

Oh, come on, baby, that's past tense.

What's the future going to be like?

Do I look like someone else? Is that why you're so turned on? What's the

difference so long as you're not turned off?

Good God, is there no winning with you?

The most important thing that ever happened to me, and you walk right out

door. If I had known you were going to act this way, I never would have let you

win in that contest in the first place. You couldn't have stopped me if you

tried.

Where are you going?

To get a drink.

Find somebody who appreciates my company.

You should have seen the expression on Mr. McDermott's face. The poor guy

know what hit him.

I felt like I was eavesdropping, but... On who?

Mr. McDermott.

You wouldn't believe the tiger lady he was with. He could have used a whip and

stool. David, you know better than to gossip.

Yeah, frankly, I'm surprised that you missed her, Kendall.

So what happened?

Well, I was...

Good

morning.

Ooh.

I didn't know you got a cat.

This was the two -legged variety.

Must have been some party.

Too bad I didn't give it.

How's it look?

Could use a little makeup to hide the battle scars.

Don't want to frighten the paying guests.

It's in my bag.

Oh, and you have two choices.

Desert blush or gypsy sunset?

Sorry, Mr. McDermott.

My fault, Peter. I didn't give the girl a chance.

Oh, bet that smarts.

I'll keep that sunset on hold.

I just don't know what came over me, Peter.

But I'm terribly sorry. It was unforgivable.

Maybe this will make me feel a little less guilty.

Come on, now. Be a good sport.

This little man I know on Sutter Street stayed up all night engraving them for

you.

May I?

I'm not wearing French cuffs.

I accept your apologies, Adrienne, but I can't accept this.

I said I was sorry.

What more do you want?

I'm trying to make up for it, and you're not even letting me.

Make up with your husband.

You're not being very fair, Peter.

At least let me take you to dinner tonight. I promise I... I'm sorry. I'm

up. Well, why don't you change your plans and tie yourself up with me?

Please, Adrienne.

Don't embarrass yourself.

What the hell were you doing in there?

What does it look like?

Getting ready for Halloween.

That's very funny.

Almost as funny as you staggering in here at three in the morning. Well, if

behaved more like a wife, I wouldn't have to go off on my own, now, would I?

Where are my shirts?

I thought if we got away, we'd stop fighting.

What do you say we go have a nice quiet brunch?

Just the two of us.

I'm sorry, honey.

I can't.

Warren Nicholson again, right?

They're doing this big promotion. Well, I just wonder who it is this guy's

promoting.

He's a real smooth talker.

You watch him. He's just going to tell you exactly what you want to hear.

Is that what you call it when someone likes me?

Just because you haven't touched me in six months doesn't mean that I'm

unattractive. I thought you said we were going to stop doing this.

I don't know if we can.

Lovely here, isn't it? Like being in a garden.

That's your second glass.

Well, when your husband's about to drop a bomb on your head, alcohol cushions

the blow, right?

Look, Jack, I know we had our troubles.

But after eight years, everyone does.

Sometimes I'm selfish.

Even spoiled, I admit it.

But sometimes you are, too.

Smile. Please, darling.

Just meet me halfway.

Adrienne.

I can't anymore.

I want a divorce.

You can go off into the sunset with some little...

I love you. Doesn't that count for anything?

Look, we tried.

We tried a lot harder than most people. It didn't work.

You don't have to worry.

I'll leave you very well provided for.

And who's going to provide for me emotionally?

I want to know who she is. I want to know.

Adrian, please.

Please, nothing.

You had your mind made up long before today, didn't you?

I'll speak to you in a few days.

All right.

Need a shoulder to cry on?

Mine's waterproof.

My friends all say I'm a great listener.

I've done enough talking already.

Please, I'll be fine.

You're doing great, Barbara.

That's perfect.

Now lift your chin a bit.

You look so pretty.

You're a natural.

Fabulous.

Okay, that's it.

Thank you. I told you she was a pro.

Can I stop smiling now?

Well, if the glue is dry.

Is everything okay?

Well, let me just put it this way. If you photograph half as well as you

those pictures are going to be dynamite.

All these compliments.

How's Dennis holding up?

Oh, he's fine.

Although I should be getting back to him. We haven't had much time together.

I hope he's pleased for you, Barbara.

Of course he is.

He thinks it's the most exciting thing that ever happened to me.

Well, the second most exciting thing.

I showed your work to a pattern manufacturer in L .A.

He wants to do the whole line.

Is that part of the contest?

Well, past winners just had their big weekend, and that was it.

I never showed their work to anybody because it just wasn't that good.

Yours is.

There might even be a position in it for you.

Get Dennis to move out here?

I'd have better luck dragging the Golden Gate Bridge to Indiana.

Well, there's no reason we can't talk about it.

How about seven -ish, back at the hotel?

Fine. If he's not too tired from all the sightseeing.

I'd better go change.

That look in your eye, Nicholson.

That's the happily married woman.

No.

That's a married woman.

I'm sorry. No messages, Mrs. Fitzpatrick.

A bunch of us are going to try that new Indian restaurant on Union Street. You

sure you want to join us?

Trying to curry favor with the boss?

Oh, I can tell it's been a long day. Well, it isn't over yet. I've still got

lot to do upstairs.

All right. I'll see you tomorrow, then.

Oh, and Peter.

Watch out for stray cats.

Hello, Dennis.

At least you used to be more discreet.

At least you used to act like a wife.

Be careful, Dennis.

You're skating on very thin ice.

And you're treading in very hot water. You're angry at me? That's a joke. Joke?

You're the only joke around here.

Pretending to be something that you're not and wipe that garbage off your face.

I'm not married to some whore. How can you talk to me like that?

I am somebody.

I am talented.

People like me.

They don't put me down.

This whole damn contest has gone right to your head, hasn't it?

What do you want from me, Dennis?

All my life, I could never say no to you.

You wouldn't let me go back to school. You wouldn't let me get a job.

You wouldn't even talk about it. I was so terrified that you would leave me and

the kids, and then what would we do?

But from here on out, I'm making my own decisions, and if you don't like it...

Oh, you're going to leave me, is that it?

This Nicholson's really done a job on you, hasn't he?

The only person that's done a job on me is you.

Or maybe you think that there's nothing wrong with having sex with strangers as

long as you don't have it with your wife.

Well, whenever we do, I feel like you're doing me a big favor.

That's not true.

When we were first going together, you were everything to me.

And then you got me pregnant.

I got you...

You were there, too, remember?

At 17, I was a wife and a mother.

And at 20, I had two kids and a husband who'd lost interest.

And what about me?

Stuck in a job that I hated.

Stuck in a town that I hated.

With a wife that you hated.

But I always loved you, Dennis.

And I believed that... We'd get past this someday, and that you'd always

be there for me.

But you know something?

There's no such thing as always.

Oh, excuse me.

Check, please.

I still haven't used my waterproof shoulder.

Another for the lady.

Felt very badly for you this afternoon.

I shouldn't have made a scene.

Well, I pulled a few in my day.

We wouldn't be human if we didn't.

You want to tell me why a beautiful woman like you had tears in her eyes?

It's a long story.

Well, I don't have any plans.

Hi. Hi.

Isn't Dennis joining us?

No.

He's tired and I'm angry. It's not an award -winning combination.

You got a fight?

More or less.

Probably more.

I guess you can't make over a marriage the way you can a face.

Well, maybe we'll see each other tomorrow.

Oh, I won't be here.

Look, I'm really tired. You know what kind of day I've had.

I've got the perfect cure.

I'm tired, really.

So am I. I'm getting the runaround.

I don't like being teased. Not by you or anyone else.

Adrian, it's me, Victoria.

You don't believe her, do you?

Of course not.

But the woman has been raped.

And she is pointing her finger at you.

I want to see her. I want this whole thing cleared up now.

Peter, it's not that I'm doubting you.

But I have to ask it before someone else does.

This cuff link.

Those scratches.

Well, that's what I got for taking her to dinner last night.

Which is why she bought me the cuff links and why I said I couldn't accept

So now she's accusing me of rape. That's terrific.

She called the police?

No, she refused to let me.

She wanted to be with her husband first.

You're not going down there, are you? If Adrian's telling everyone I'm a rapist,

I want her to say it to my face. But you know what?

She won't be able to.

Peter, I don't think it's wise.

When I told her I was calling you, she got hysterical.

At least wait till morning.

Is that the last word from the boss?

That's just some advice.

From a good friend.

I'm so frightened, Jack.

Then why don't you let me call the police?

You're only protecting him this way.

No.

They'll ask why he was here. They'll accuse me. You know how they can be, and

can't deal with that right now.

And I'm thinking of Victoria, too.

It's her hotel.

Her manager.

I'll file charges. I promise I will.

It's just that right now... Oh, Jack, please.

Feeling all right?

Wonderful.

Maybe just a little guilty.

Is Dennis the only one?

Does that sound corny?

Can he say the same?

So now you're even, right?

I wasn't trying to get back at him.

Sure you weren't.

Really, it's getting late, though.

Well, we'll see each other tomorrow, won't we?

Sure.

That's the beauty of a long weekend.

The same woman Dave saw him with. I don't care.

I don't believe a word of it. Peter would never do such a thing. Hey, I

believe it either, but he's still in trouble. Good morning.

Hi. Is Peter in yet?

I don't think he went home last night.

Now, that's taking dedication too far.

Christine, there's been a... Okay.

Will someone kindly tell me what's going on?

A lot of accusations.

A lot of damn lies, as far as I'm concerned.

That bad news always travels in half the time.

Oh, this whole thing is ridiculous. You can't take her seriously.

She really was raped. That's what's serious.

But not by you.

It's my word against hers. You know what happened to me in New Orleans. That got

out of hand.

But you didn't know that woman was married, Peter. And you certainly didn't

force her.

Well, that's what I mean. Nothing really happened.

I still had to go to Europe to get a job.

Now the storm clouds are building up all over again.

No one's asking you to resign.

But no one's giving me a clean bill of health, either.

You got in late.

Where were you?

Dinner.

With Warren?

And two others from the magazine.

You could have come.

I'm sorry for what I said.

It was ugly.

And it was untrue.

That's the first time that you ever admitted you were wrong.

Maybe I've been wrong about a lot of things.

Especially about us.

Can't we just forget this whole thing and go home?

So I can go back to being a drab little housewife?

I didn't say that.

No, but isn't that what you mean?

So you can have me under your thumb, control me, so you're free to do

you want?

I had one little fling. Am I going to have to pay for that forever?

One little fling?

How about a lot of flings? They didn't mean anything.

Maybe not to you.

Do you realize how humiliating it is?

Neither of us has worked very hard on this marriage.

I don't think either of us knows how.

Are you saying that you've discovered a secret formula?

Maybe I have.

I care about you, and it hurts me to think you could want someone else.

Hurts you?

You mean I hurt your male ego? Look, you think what you want to, but I don't

want to lose you.

I'll try harder. I'll make a reservation. We'll leave in an early

I can't do that. I have a job interview this afternoon.

What? Oh, come on. You've got to be kidding me.

Why would I be kidding about something so serious?

You have a hell of a nerve showing up here.

You're a sick man, McDermott, and a dangerous one, too.

I never attacked your wife. Oh, yeah?

Then where did you get those?

From Adrian, but let me explain.

How she tried to defend herself?

It didn't work, did it?

Jack, what's he doing here?

I'm trying to find out why you're telling all those lies about me. What

Did I make this up? And this?

I didn't even see you last night.

I wish I could say the same.

It's very important. Think back.

Are you sure you didn't see who Mrs. Fitzpatrick was with?

I don't know.

He was wearing a dark suit.

I could not see his face.

Is there anything else?

There must have been something about him you can remember. Was he tall, short?

He was tall.

About Mr.

McDermott's height.

And Mr. Jacobs wouldn't have flown all the way up from L .A. if he wasn't

serious about your work. Your design is a simple, elegant, just what our

customers look for in a pattern.

And as one of our designers, it could be a very profitable relationship for both

of us.

It's just that it's a lot for me to absorb. See, I've never had a job

Well, raising a family gives you plenty of training.

Mr. Jacobs, there's a call for you.

Oh, must be the office.

Pretty exciting, huh?

Yes, last night was wonderful.

I was hoping that we could... Gee, you know, I'm really pretty busy.

So I'm just a one -night stand?

No, of course not.

But you're married, Barbara.

So am I.

I got the wrong Jacobs.

Well, what do you think?

I've been very naive.

Please excuse me.

Jack, maybe we could lunch at... Victoria, I didn't hear you come in.

I'm glad to see that you've recovered from your ordeal.

Oh, the doctor said I should get out.

It's the only way to put it behind me.

I think you should know that in view of what happened, I have no choice other

than to relieve Mr. McDermott of his duties as general manager. Well, it's

time.

Obviously, I misjudged him.

Didn't I, Adrian?

He's a man who can't be trusted with anything or anybody.

Wouldn't you say?

He raped me.

And he's going to have to accept the consequences.

Uh -huh. I see.

All right.

Thank you.

Well, I tracked down the jeweler. He's over on Sutter.

Mrs. Fitzpatrick's a regular customer. That's why he did the engraving so

quickly. She told him it was a gift for an old friend.

I'd hate to think how she treats her enemies.

If only there was some way we can prove she's lying.

I'll talk to Harry down at the bar.

I may have a lead on our mystery man.

And if that doesn't work?

Then we're going to find out how she really treats her friends.

What are you doing?

The weekend isn't over yet.

It is for me.

They offered me the job. It could mean a lot of money.

We're doing fine.

I thought you'd be happy. If we made enough money, then maybe you could make

change. The only change I'd like is for you to stop treating me like I'm not

even around.

It's a bad habit that I picked up from you.

Maybe you're right.

All those times you could have shown a little spunk, you didn't.

Sure, I got bored.

Anybody would have. Is that why you stopped sleeping with me?

What's the difference? Nicholson took up the slack.

Well, it was about time somebody did.

I got a plane to catch.

Mr. Jacobs, sweet, please.

I'm sorry, Peter. I couldn't get her to budge.

She knew I was calling her bluff and wouldn't let go.

I don't understand it. She got Jack back, so why is she still pushing it?

She's caught in her own lie.

We'll have to call the police.

Peter. There's been a rape in our hotel. We can't just sit back and pretend it

didn't happen.

But you're not guilty.

Well, someone is.

To you, darling.

For being there when I really needed you.

You know, when this is all over, let's go away for a while.

We always wanted to do the South Seas. Wouldn't it be romantic sailing off into

the sunset?

Now, look, I know this hasn't been easy for you.

And I'll try to help you as much as I can.

But it's not going to change things between us.

But you know you don't mean that, sweetheart.

When I was in trouble, you were the only one I could call.

If you didn't love me, you wouldn't have... It wasn't love, Adrienne.

What was it then?

Pity? I care what happens to you.

But for us, it's over.

But it can't be.

You know you love me, Jack. You do.

It'll get better. It will. It has to.

Don't you understand?

I need you.

Miss Fitzpatrick, I was just looking for you. Please, some other time. When?

After you've destroyed his reputation and his career?

There'll be nothing left for him.

Then we'll both have a lot in common.

You're just going to walk away from all of this?

No apologies? No looking back?

What kind of a person can ruin a man's life and not even feel anything?

He should have thought of that before... No.

You should have thought of it before you started telling all these lies about

him.

You really are...

I suppose there's one saving grace to this whole ugly business.

When it's over and the truth comes out, you still have to live with yourself.

Well, I'm happy you reconsidered. It would be a shame to waste all that

Well, it's something I've dreamed about for a long time.

Well, I'm happy to help make that dream come true.

How does your husband feel?

He's getting used to the idea.

Dennis!

Mr. Jacobs, this is my husband, Dennis. I was just telling your wife it'd be no

problem, her working at home.

Actually, we're looking forward to L .A. We thought the change would be good for

us. I'm planning a career move myself.

Well, great.

Look, I've got a plane to catch.

So you'll call me next week and we'll work out all the details.

Nice meeting you, Dennis. You too.

Take care.

Career move?

More of a life change.

You see, I recently met this very attractive, talented lady that I want to

to know better.

What are you talking about?

Well, my first wife and I, we got off to a bad start in the back seat of my old

man's car.

And it was all downhill from there.

But I learned something from that marriage.

That I want to be married.

To you.

Oh, Dan.

Maybe we should go upstairs and consummate this union in the proper

surroundings.

be thinking about leaving just because she's made these wild accusations?

I appreciate your vote of confidence, Christine, but come on, admit it. You're

little unsure yourself.

I never said anything like that.

That's what you're thinking, isn't it? That's insulting, Peter.

You don't have to take a lie detector test to prove your innocence to me.

But I still have to prove it to everyone else.

Excuse me.

She really cares about you.

Maybe even more than I used to.

What do you want?

I met a man in the bar. We had a few drinks.

I was feeling sorry for myself.

He was very attentive.

You can guess the rest.

Who was he?

I don't even know.

Besides, it's my problem now, not yours.

Oh, it's our problem.

Why? Why me, Adrian?

I don't know why I did it.

I was desperate.

Everything was falling apart.

I didn't plan it, Peter.

I just used it as a way to get Jack back.

Maybe he'd come around, come back to me if he felt sorry for me.

That's all I could think of.

Adrian, you let a rapist go free? I told you, I didn't know who he was.

And I made the perfect scapegoat, didn't I?

God, I'm so sorry.

I wouldn't have gone through with it.

Call the police. None of it, I swear.

Please.

You forgive me, Peter, don't you?

Not this time.

So, I told Adrian to find herself a good psychiatrist.

She needs rape counseling.

I also think she has a lot to learn about dealing with people.

To say nothing of choosing cufflinks.

See you in the morning. Okay.

Just another weekend at the St. Gregory.

Yeah, but she's not just another friend.

Thanks for what you did.

Adrian told you?

Well, I sort of read the riot act between the lines.

Well, she had it coming.

What do you think she'll do now?

Just what she's always done.

You know, people like Adrienne go through life letting everyone else clean

their messes.

Until one day she'll look around and realize she's run out of people to pick

after her.

Won't be a very happy day for her, will it?

No.

But it will for everyone else.
