Thank you.

Guess what?

I knew it.

You are now looking at Kathy Connolly, new head bookkeeper for the St. Gregory

Hotel. Have you told Pam yet? I just left workroom to call me.

Tonight, after work, I want you and Dave to join us for a little celebration.

You two are really hitting it off, aren't you? I've never known anyone like

He's very special.

Don't forget about tonight. We have to celebrate.

Julie? I don't know if Mrs. Cabot is back yet.

No, I haven't seen her.

And there's someone waiting for her in the lounge.

Huh. Well, do me a favor, will you? And give me a buzz. If you see her come in,

I'll be in the ballroom. Okay. Thanks.

Can I get you something?

No, thank you.

You sure?

Sun's over the yard arm in London.

I'm sure.

You, uh, staying at the hotel?

No.

Don't tell me you're a native San Franciscan.

I'm envious.

Could I persuade you to show me around?

I'm sure the concierge could recommend a tour guide.

Oh, if you'll excuse me.

Brooke! Oh, Brooke, here I am. Sorry.

It was a 15 -minute meeting that took an hour. No trouble. I just got here.

Mother hasn't checked in yet.

I can't wait to see her.

You know, it must have been almost a year.

I'm worried about her, Victoria.

She hasn't been the same since Daddy died.

Oh, she sounded wonderful on the phone.

Yes, well, she doesn't look so good.

And that's the first sure sign that something's wrong.

Now, excuse me, Mrs. Cabot, I'm terribly sorry to interrupt, but would you mind

taking a look at the new chandelier in the ballroom? I don't think it's the one

we ordered. Oh, of course.

Oh, Brooke Hastings, Mark Danning. Hi. How do you do?

You don't mind, Brooke? Besides, I can take advantage of your decorator's eye.

Kathy, I just heard the news. Congratulations. Oh, thanks. Megan tell

tonight? Yep. Oh, listen, you're not having any trouble with any of the

are you?

No, why?

Well, some guy last night offered me five bucks for your name. Said he

maybe it was a blind date. Real persistent.

Well, I hope he found her.

Probably. I'll see you.

Hello. Hi. Elizabeth Nathan.

Oh, yes, hello.

Mrs. Cabot left word for you to call her as soon as you got in, but she just

left for the... Oh, that's all right. I could use a few minutes to unwind.

Okay. Sign this, please.

Oh, sure.

I know women who would give their last stable coat for your complexion, my

Could I have a name?

I'll trade.

Thanks. Thank you.

Excuse me.

But have we met before?

I don't think so.

So familiar.

Sam Moritz?

Aspen?

I don't ski.

What do you like to do? I'm adaptable.

My floor, too.

604. I'm Cliff Walt.

In case you need a cup of sugar.

Elizabeth Hastings.

Well, see you, neighbor.

And you're absolutely positive?

Uh -huh.

Well, thank you.

Yeah.

Bye.

Bad news? I don't know.

Remember the old gentleman I used to have tea with every Tuesday afternoon?

You know he passed away.

Well, he put me in his will.

What a nice thing to do.

I never would have thought he had any money.

He carried one of those change purses that snapped shut.

Always insisted on paying, and with one dollar bills.

Well, those times you were together must have been very special for him.

For me, too.

Well, do you know what he's expected?

Could I leave a message, please?

Kathy Connolly.

Congratulations.

Would you ask him to call me as soon as possible, please?

Yes, yes, he has my number.

Yes, it's an emergency.

Do you know why your mother's coming to San Francisco?

No, I was just so happy to see her suddenly perk up. I didn't care.

I told her that a man she knew, oh, long before your father came along, was

arriving from London.

I think I know who he is.

Daddy would always get very quiet when she mentioned his name. Uh -huh.

Daniel Gerard.

He's arranged to stop over on his way to the Orient.

He especially wanted to meet with Elizabeth again.

Huh. I should have known.

It was vanity that gave Mother a shot in the arm, wasn't it?

Oh, well.

Haven't seen one another in 25 years.

Should be quite an encounter.

Elizabeth! Oh, how good to see you. And you. It's been too long.

Oh, Brooke, darling.

Mother, what have you done to yourself? You look absolutely fabulous.

I do?

Oh, you know you do. I've never seen you looking better.

Well, if I can't tell the two of you, who can I tell? My gardener?

I, uh... I just had a few nips and tucks taken here and there.

What do you think?

Do you like the new me?

Well, I like the old you, too.

Oh, you look lovely.

On a scale of one to ten.

Ten plus.

Thank you.

We're just about to have some tea. Join us? I'd love to.

Oh, I know you both think I'm being silly about the surgery.

Well, the truth is I was going to suggest it.

You were?

Did I look that bad?

No, no, you just needed a lift. No pun intended.

Oh.

As long as it makes you feel good about yourself, I'm all for it.

Well, I've been thinking about it for a while, and then when I received your

phone call, Victoria, I... About Daniel?

How did you know about Daniel?

I told her I hope it's all right.

We're two grown women, Mother.

Thank you.

You nervous?

Petrified. Well, you both have a lot of years to catch up on.

Maybe 25 too many.

Oh, I wouldn't worry about it.

Nothing stays the same.

But that doesn't mean it can't be just as wonderful.

Miss Francis?

Miss Christine Francis?

Yeah. I'm Charlie Perkins.

I brought your inheritance.

You have?

You're a lawyer.

Oh, no, miss. I'm a chauffeur.

A car?

Yes, miss.

Real beauty, isn't she?

Not a scratch.

Looks the same as the day Mr. Hollingsworth bought it.

But it's a limousine.

I could never drive such a big car.

But you don't have to, miss.

I'll be doing the driving.

You?

Well, don't worry, miss. My salary's all taken care of.

You mean you and the car are... It was Mr.

Hollingsworth's request.

Kathy can support an esteemed history teacher in the manner to which she's

to become accustomed.

I see no reason why she can't become Mrs. Sam Parrish.

What do you say, sweetheart?

I don't know.

Just answer the question, ma 'am. Say yes.

As an attorney -to -be, I object to the lady's being verbally coerced.

You're out of order, Counselor. Well, I'll think about it, okay?

Well, you hear that? She's going to think about it. That's progress.

Listen, guys, I'd really love to pass judgment on this relationship, but this

juror has to be up at six.

Thanks for tonight.

And next time, it's on us. You're on. Okay. Good night.

Good night. I love

you.

Well, maybe I think you're too good for me.

Stop thinking so much.

I love you, too.

Hi.

How you doing?

Can I help you?

It's been a long time since we've seen each other.

Kathy?

I don't know what he's talking about.

You heard the lady.

You must have the wrong person.

Oh, excuse me if I intruded.

The lady just reminded me of someone I was once really close to.

What the hell was that all about?

I don't know. Maybe he was drunk.

Can we go now, please?

Kathy, do you know him?

I said I'd never saw him before in my life.

Can we go now?

Who is it?

Hey.

Hi.

Hi. You weren't in bed, were you?

Yes, I was.

I'm sorry.

Can I come in for a minute?

Sure.

I thought we had a date for supper.

Gee, Brooke, you said you were going to call first.

I guess I'm a little jet lagged.

Sure, listen, you get some rest, and I'll see you tomorrow.

You really don't mind, do you? No, I need my beauty sleep, too.

Good night, hon. Good night, Mom.

Night.

Maybe you'd better go.

Who was that?

My daughter.

My very grown -up daughter.

Come here.

I haven't been with a man in a very long time.

Really?

Well, well, well.

Fancy wheels. We're obviously traveling with the right crowd.

Believe it or not, it's mine.

Will you be needing the car this morning, Miss Francis? Oh, no. Thank

Charlie. Very good, Miss.

Unless, of course, Mr. Griffin would like to use it. Would you, Billy?

Uh, no. No, that's okay.

My Toyota wouldn't stand for it.

Well... If you ever do, just let me know.

Hello, Kathy.

Frank, please, just leave me alone.

I have a new life here and I don't want to ruin it.

That guy you were with the other night, he part of it?

Look, you should be glad I found you before anybody else did.

Why? So you can kill me yourself?

I want you back.

After what I did to your business associates, I would have thought you'd

dead. Look, I can take you away where they'll never find you.

Mexico, maybe.

You always said you wanted to see the Aztec ruins.

I'll come visit you whenever I can.

Don't you understand? I don't love you anymore.

It's over.

It's not over for me.

It never will be.

I've got to get to work.

Dammit, you're still my wife.

And nothing or nobody's ever going to take that away from me.

Good morning, Mother.

Should I order breakfast? I've already had coffee.

Company? So early in the morning?

Help yourself. It's probably still warm.

I believe I passed your company in the hall.

Did you?

Is that why you were so anxious to get rid of me last night?

He was here, wasn't he?

Quite a role reversal, isn't it?

Remember when you were 15 and I found you in a romantic clinch with a beach

in Puerto Vallarta?

This isn't exactly the same thing, Mother.

It isn't.

He's young enough to be your son.

Cliff is very sweet.

Oh, come on! And I enjoyed being with him.

I thought you were here to meet Daniel.

I thought he meant something to you.

He does.

So... This little fling last night was just to rev up the old motor, so to

speak. Try out the new you.

Is it so wrong to want to feel a man's arms around me?

Find out if I can be desirable again?

Seems to me Cliff's the one being honest.

At least he's upfront about what he wants.

Remember me?

Oh, hi there.

I don't know what you're up to, but keep away from Kathy.

Ah. So she told you we did know each other a little, huh?

Just stay away.

Well, I think that's up to her to decide, isn't it?

No.

It's between us.

What am I doing with a limousine?

If it makes you that uncomfortable, sell it.

I thought of that.

But how am I going to break it to Charlie?

Driving that car is the only thing in his life.

Then keep it. Enjoy it. It'll get you where you want to go.

The garage costs more than my rent.

Look, I'll be back in about an hour.

I got a luncheon appointment at the racket club.

Take my car. Charlie will drive you.

I can't drive up to the racket club in a chauffeur -driven limousine. Why not?

Everybody does.

You want to tell me what's going on?

Kathy, talk to me.

I'm not who you think I am.

My name isn't Connolly, it's Bridget.

I'm a relocated witness.

The government said they'd never find me.

What? I testified against the people Frank works for.

The FBI gave me a new identity, new city, new job, new me.

Said no one would ever find me.

Oh, baby.

Sam, I wanted to tell you. I tried to, but I was afraid.

Who is this guy, Frank?

What does he mean to you?

He's my husband.

We grew up in the same neighborhood. I was a kid when we got married.

We needed money, so Frank got involved with these people.

Sam, please, I don't love him. I tried to get a divorce, but he wouldn't.

They never let go.

That's why I testified.

I never thought he'd find me.

Kathy, I love you.

And nobody is going to hurt you.

Sam Fromm is not going to try anything.

I know what Frank can do. He's very dangerous.

They all are.

You just met him in the elevator.

The St. Gregory elevator.

I think that gives him a certain distinction, doesn't it?

I suppose.

But nothing I'd want mentioned in the hotel's brochures.

Oh.

I... I feel very guilty.

Brooke was so upset, so disappointed in me.

Victoria, I used him.

I guess I... I guess I wanted to prove I was still desirable for Daniel.

And the plastic surgery, that was for Daniel, too, wasn't it?

Is that so terrible?

All this importance on how you look.

Daniel isn't going to be as you remembered him, either.

Oh, I know, but I think we're going to accept what's going to happen.

I hope so.

You're your mother's daughter, all right.

What does that mean?

You're a beautiful woman.

Can I get you anything?

I appreciate you seeing me.

I want you to stay away from my mother.

Did she ask you to tell me that?

She's here to meet someone.

Oh, and I could screw up the works.

She's not a part of the tour, Cliff.

Yeah, I asked you to go on that tour.

It could have been fun.

Hey, hey, wait a minute.

I'm not out to hurt anybody.

Would you know if you were?

How did you keep this to yourself

for so long?

After a while, you forget you had another life.

So where does this leave you and Sam?

I don't know.

I never thought about what would happen if I fell in love.

If there's anything we can do... No, I just wanted you to know in case

happened. Like what?

Kathy, that sounds ominous.

I just may have to leave.

And I wanted you to understand.

I gotta get back.

We all care about you, Kathy.

No matter what, we're here.

Susie, would you get that, please?

Hello? I just had a call from Daniel.

He's not coming.

Hi, Mom.

Oh.

You'll be here this evening.

Oh, I think I just had an anxiety pang.

Brooke just walked in.

Let me speak to you later.

He'll be here at 7 .30.

Bye -bye.

Daniel will be here tonight.

So the main event's finally arrived.

Yes.

Won't you marry Daddy?

But I love him.

The same way you love Daniel?

Look, your father adored me.

Worshipped me.

I was afraid of my feelings for Daniel. I was so sheltered.

Is sheltered anything like shallow?

Did I deserve that?

I asked Cliff not to see you again.

Well, shouldn't that be for me to decide?

Or is it that you're interested in him for yourself?

That's ridiculous.

If I wanted him, I could have had him. Anybody could.

Look, I have been jealous of you.

Over Daddy's love.

My boyfriend's always saying, gee, your eyes are so pretty, just like your

mother's. Oh, your mother's such a good dancer.

Brooks, honey, mothers and daughters always go through a competitive stage.

Shouldn't we have outgrown it by now?

Just think about what you're doing.

Do you remember what you said to me in Puerto Vallarta when you caught me with

that beach boy?

You said, love is never wrong if you believe it's right.

Is it right, mother?

Hi, Meg.

Hi, Lynn.

I can't talk here.

Listen, I've got two airline tickets to Mexico.

I'm not going with you.

Don't tell me you never loved me because I know different.

Frank, please.

I don't want to give up what I have here.

You're going to be with me on that plane tomorrow.

If they knew what you were doing, they'd try to kill you, too. Listen, don't

worry about me, all right?

Worry about your boyfriend.

Accidents happen every day.

It's a real nasty world out there, you know.

I'm not quite sure how to say this, but I'm going to have to give notice.

I'm surprised.

I thought you were pleased about your promotion.

Oh, I am very... It's a personal problem. I have to leave as soon as

Is there anything we can do to help?

No, thank you.

I've really enjoyed this St. Gregory.

I'll miss it.

And everyone here.

We're sorry to lose you.

I'll finish up as much as I can tomorrow morning.

Thanks again, Miss McDermott.

Christine.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Beautiful as ever.

I was just getting ready to go out.

Oh, will you be in for dinner?

I already have an engagement.

Well, what about after?

Cliff, I don't think that's a very good idea. I feel like I've been using you.

So use me. Go ahead.

No, I'm serious.

So am I.

I like you very much.

But this is all wrong.

There's a difference in our ages. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

I don't know how old you are, and I don't care.

I just know that I enjoy being with you. Now, what's wrong with that?

Nothing. Shh.

Have fun tonight.

And if your date decides to turn in early, give me a call.

Charlie.

Oh, sorry.

I was resting my eyes. I must have fallen asleep.

I'm sorry I had to work so late.

You should have gone home when I asked you to.

I couldn't do that, miss.

Mr. Hollingsworth would never have approved.

I'm starved.

Have you had dinner?

I'm fine.

I tell you what, I'm going to treat you to a steak. How about it?

Wouldn't be proper, miss.

I'm your chauffeur.

Well, chauffeurs have to eat, too.

This was Mr.

Hollingsworth's favorite table.

He was a wonderful man.

A real gentleman.

Charlie was very generous of him to leave me the limousine.

Not many cars like that nowadays.

It's beautiful.

But it's not exactly my style.

Much too grand.

I was thinking of selling it.

Oh, my.

Sell Mr. Hollingsworth's car?

I know how much it means to you.

I've taken care of it for 40 years.

That's what concerns me.

What would happen to you if I sold it?

Oh, I'll be all right, miss.

Mr. Hollingsworth made sure of that.

The only thing is, I don't know what I'd do.

I'm a professional, you know.

Not one traffic violation in 45 years.

Maybe you can spend some more time with your family.

Well, I do have a nephew somewhere.

El Paso.

Or, uh...

Is it sans something or other?

Well, I was only thinking of selling it.

I have a good buddy down south. He lives in a small town.

We could go there.

He'll be safe.

And what would you do? The same thing I do here.

Only with you.

Look, Sam, I didn't want to have to hurt you, but I can't help it. I still have

a thing for Frank.

You do?

I guess that's why I was with him in the beginning.

God, you're a lousy liar.

But I appreciate the sentiment.

You don't understand.

Frank is used to getting what he wants.

Well, then Frank and I have something in common after all.

We were just talking about you. You were? Should my ears be burning?

Hello, Daniel. Hello, Elizabeth.

It's so good to see you again.

I've been waiting a long time for this moment.

He looks wonderful, doesn't he, Victoria?

Yes.

Sit down over here.

Ever since Victoria phoned me and said you were coming, I have thought of

nothing else.

Neither have I.

I understand your daughter lives in San Francisco.

Yes, she's an interior decorator.

She'd love to meet you.

I'll meet you.

Daniel's on his way to the Orient.

Yes, for business. I'm going to Hong Kong, Singapore, and then back to

Well, are you going to be in San Francisco very long?

No, just a few days.

Oh.

I can't... I can't believe it.

You have not changed a bit in all these years.

Oh, gray hairs, but they're very distinguished.

And, of course, you haven't.

Oh, Elizabeth, would you like some wine?

Yes, thank you.

Daniel, will you have a bit more?

Yes, please.

Thank you.

That perfume.

I'd recognize it anywhere.

I bought it for you in a small shop of Oxford Circus. Do you remember,

Elizabeth?

Yes, I do remember.

Thank you, Victoria.

I don't quite remember, but I'm sure it was called something lovely, something

sentimental.

It's called Forever.

Yes, yes, Forever.

Look, I don't want any more excuses.

You people made promises to me.

No, I need your help again now.

Well, why can't someone else do it?

Oh.

Oh, thanks. That helps a lot. That's really great.

Who is it?

Frank.

Hey, good.

Found you a real nice place in Mexico.

Pool, a couple of servants, everything you need.

Frank, why do you want this?

I don't love you anymore. I don't want to make love with you.

Hey, I'm a patient guy, remember?

Come on, now, look at it this way.

You're doing it for Sam. Keep him healthy.

Don't fight with me.

You fight with them, and I'm going to do something I don't want to do.

Now, get over here and start acting like my wife again.

Much better.

You really didn't have to walk me to my suite.

Don't be silly. I wanted to.

Last time I walked you home, you lived in that hotel near Hyde Park.

The park was the thickest piece of... Do you remember?

We lost our way. We had to sit in a pub for hours until it lifted.

Oh, Lord.

Here we are.

Oh.

Monte... Montecito.

I had to ask you in, but it's getting rather late.

I apologize, Elizabeth.

For what?

I was very cruel to you tonight.

I could feel the tension in your body from across the room.

I can still feel it.

It was the shock, that's all.

Of course it was.

Your God is blind.

Poor Daniel.

You needn't pity me, you know.

The hard part is to know how to put you at ease.

I'm sorry.

Don't be.

No, don't be.

That's exactly what I wanted to prove to you tonight.

I think I'd better go in now.

Could we meet again tomorrow?

Lunch?

Would you call? I have several appointments.

Hey, you know, you're like this on our honeymoon, too.

But you'll learn to enjoy it.

Listen, I'll pick you up at 2 o 'clock tomorrow.

I'll give you enough time to make your goodbyes.

Come on, honey, you won't be sorry.

It's going to be just like the old days.

See you tomorrow.

Peter?

Oh, tell me.

You two are quitting.

I already lost my best bookkeeper.

Oh, it's nothing like that, Mr. McDermott.

But it is about Kathy Connolly.

She's in a lot of trouble.

We thought maybe you could give us some advice.

I can't encourage him. It wouldn't be fair.

To Daniel or to yourself?

All right.

I admit it.

I can't make that kind of sacrifice.

Well, I never knew that loving someone was a sacrifice.

Sharing, perhaps.

Daniel needs someone to take care of him. That's nonsense.

Daniel is not an invalid.

You've already seen how independent he is.

I need to be loved by someone who appreciates me.

Neither one of us is capable of fulfilling the other's need.

You think he needs to see you to appreciate you. Can you only love a man

bolster your ego?

That's not fair, Victoria.

Maybe not.

But are you being fair to Daniel?

He came halfway around the world to be with you again.

You don't even tell him how you feel.

Don't throw this away for the wrong reason, Elizabeth.

You won't get a third chance.

Charlie? Yes?

Does Miss Francis need me? She'd like you to come up to her office as soon as

you can.

Oh, hold it, hold it.

Hi.

So how'd it go with your gentleman friend?

Memory better than reality?

What do you look for in a woman, Liv?

Somebody like you.

Like me?

Yeah.

What does that mean?

Somebody beautiful.

Like Brooke?

Yeah, her too.

Were you comparing us?

I guess I was.

Well, you won't have to anymore.

Oh, excuse me, miss. Could you do me a favor? The house phones are all busy.

Give Miss Kathy Connolly a buzz and tell her that Mr. Bridges is here.

Certainly.

Look, miss, it's very important.

Tell her to meet me across the street from the back entrance.

Good to see you, Eddie.

Sid? Heard a rumor your wife is here, Frank.

That true?

Yeah, yeah, it's true. In fact, I could use some help.

If you knew she was here, why didn't you tell us?

Because I just found out.

Look, she could be going out the side of the rear entrance even as we speak.

So why don't you guys stay here and watch the front, okay?

You better be on the straight, friend.

Frank just spoke to those two guys and then went out the back. They're watching

all the exits.

Great. I always work better with a handicap.

Elizabeth? I was afraid I wouldn't get a chance to say goodbye.

I am so glad we met again.

I'm glad, too.

Now, you know where I'll be in London.

If you ever need anything. I do.

My bottle of forever is nearly gone.

Little shop just off Oxford Circus.

I could pick some up for you.

I was thinking... maybe we could pick it up together.

I've never stopped loving you, Elizabeth.

You've never changed in my mind's eye.

Oh, I have changed.

And I'm glad.

Because I'm hotel security.

Anything else I can do for you?

Any special place, sir?

Do without, Charlie.

Will you please tell me what's going on? I think it's about time you had a whole

new identity.

How about Mr. Sam Parrish of El Paso?

Sounds ideal to me.

My nephew George lives there.

Where's my cousin Phil?

I can imagine what you look like.

You must be beautiful.

Like your mother.

Oh,

she's quite beautiful.

But you really can't compare us.

We're two different people.

You just happen to be mother and daughter.

Wherever they end up, I know Sam and Kathy will be happy.

Oh, honey, don't.

If you had to relocate, I'd go with you anywhere.

You would?

Sure.

As long as it's Hawaii, Tahiti, maybe the French Riviera.

You know, it's been a miserable day for both of us. You lost your Rolls Royce,

your chauffeur.

I lost one of my best bookkeepers.

I know.

So why are we so happy?
