I just picked this up fresh from the pastry chef's oven. Let me see.

Ooh, that should cheer Dave up before the bar exam.

Back in about an hour. Give him my love, okay? Okay.

You know, Megan's moved in with Julie.

I wish I knew how to handle it.

Megan and Dave wouldn't be the first couple to split up because of the bar.

It's not just the bar.

Their marriage is in real trouble.

Everything's under control with the orthodontist condition.

Oh, great. Thanks, Judy. How did you get them to find me?

Excuse me. Can you please tell me where the personnel office is?

On the metonymy. Right up those stairs.

There's an elevator if you like.

The stairs are fine.

Thanks.

It's me.

Oh, my fault. We need a traffic light in this lobby. Are you okay? No bones

broken. Yeah, I don't really need this thing except in a traffic jam.

Anything I can do to help you beat the rush hour?

A job would put me in the fast lane.

A job.

Well, that's up to personnel.

I'll tell you what, I'll show you where it is. Oh, thank you.

Ever worked in a hotel before?

I haven't worked at all, actually.

Unless you count babysitting.

I sort of dropped out in 1976.

School?

Traveled? Neither.

I took a long nap.

For ten years.

I wanted to wish you luck on the last day at the bar.

So I can't believe it'll be over by tonight.

How's life with Julie?

Tidier.

Lonely.

I missed you, too.

Jean -Claude baked it for you.

That's wonderful.

I'll have some later, thanks.

Everyone's pulling for you, Counselor.

Pop quiz?

Murphy versus McNally?

Murphy versus McNally set the precedent in personal injury liability.

Too many cases buzzing around in my head.

You'll do fine.

I'll be thinking about you all day.

Dave, you're going to be a wonderful lawyer.

But more important, you're a wonderful man.

I love you very much.

Please don't forget that.

I saw a man with his head bowed low.

His heart had no place to go.

I looked and I thought as I watched him go by

there. But for you go I.

Another sad song, Tony?

Noah's Saloon, singers.

Sad songs and broken dreams.

Well, not at the Lindsay wedding. They want the Waltz King.

Bride and groom are in their 70s.

Fairy tales can come true. It can happen to you if you're young at heart.

Maybe one of these days you'll get lucky in love, too.

I play love songs, Julie.

Livingham, that's another story.

I was in a coma for ten years, waking up with a miracle.

And you can't remember anything about the accident?

I can't remember my life.

The doctors say I'm suffering from almost total amnesia. You must have been

physical wreck when you woke up.

Skin and bones.

I had to learn to walk all over again.

Twelve months of therapy.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Yes, Vernon.

Personnel tells me you're crying for someone.

Why don't you see for yourself?

I'll send her right down.

Bye.

Mr. Bennett. He owns the antique shop in our arcade.

A job?

His assistant quit yesterday.

He's agreed to interview you.

We're going cycling in your woods, remember?

I'd almost forgotten.

That's why you work Saturday, so you could take off now.

I keep thinking about Dave's exam.

You'll be back before he's finished.

Come on, it'll do you some good.

We can survive without you, Megan.

For an afternoon, anyway.

I'm a fast learner, Mr. Bennett.

I just passed my high school equivalency two grades in five months.

But you know nothing about antiques.

No.

But I've seen statues like that before.

My parents showed me photographs of myself taken in the Yucatan. We must

gone to visit the ruins.

I thought you couldn't remember anything before your accident.

I can't.

Looking through family photo albums is like a trip into a stranger's past.

Take a look.

The fine texture of the old clay.

The residue that was once Mayan blue.

It's beautiful.

Well, at least you have the sensitivity to perceive that.

Are you sure you're ready to take on a job?

Mr. Bennett.

I feel like Rip Van Winkle coming into town after a ten -year nap and finding

the whole world changed.

It's time for me to wake up.

All I want is a chance.

Good morning.

Welcome to the third day of the California bar exam.

Check at this time to make sure that you have not brought any prohibited

material into the examination room with you.

And please check that the application number on your admittance card matches

number on your seating card and on your photo identification badge.

You'll notice the packages are again sealed and placed in front of you.

And the test will begin now.

New dress?

Oh, I want to make a good impression. You already have with Mr. Bennett.

I like him.

All those lovely antiques. I can't wait to start work tomorrow.

A job.

A room here until I get a place of my own. It all feels like a dream.

Only I'm finally awake to enjoy it.

Excuse me, Christine.

Bobby Short stopped by last night. He asked me to say hi.

Oh, I'm sorry I missed him.

Tony Milner, this is Haley Cole.

Tony is our resident piano genius.

Haley will be working in the antique shop.

You'll fit right in with all those beautiful things.

There are 30 minutes remaining in this session.

I have to get up and walk.

You've already gotten up twice to go to the bathroom.

Just let me walk around the hallway.

I'm kind of aching all over.

Is this an emergency?

Do you wish to finish the test or not?

Of course I wish to finish.

Then return to your seat.

I don't think I'll be entering the Tour de France this year, guys. Well, you

enjoyed every minute of it. It was hard to enjoy myself.

Dave's sweating out the bar.

I know what he's going through.

Times are that I'd never get through medical school.

Well, excuse me, guys. I think I need this mechanic here to help me fix my

I'm sorry, Paul. I spent the whole afternoon talking about my problem.

They're good listeners.

I got more good listening in me.

I'm very flattered.

And very married.

You should do it separated.

Only while Dave takes the bar.

Ah. Yeah, I should have known better.

And I should get back to someone who needs me.

Whether he knows it or not.

White wine, please

Well, I summoned up my courage. I hung up my cane. Here I am.

Sounds like an adventure.

Being able to go out and listen to music again is one of the most beautiful

adventures of my life.

I'm sorry.

I don't mean to be mysterious.

I... I had an accident.

Are you okay now?

Sure.

Apart from the fact that I don't know who I am.

I know who you are.

The loveliest lady in this room.

I'm getting to like San Francisco more and more.

Including having lunch with me tomorrow.

Do you often ask a girl you've only known five minutes to lunch?

I haven't forgotten what a date is, have you?

I'm a little out of practice.

Practice makes perfect.

Where could he be? I've tried everywhere.

Try not to worry, Megan. He'll be all right.

Who is it?

It's me.

Hi. Come on in.

Dave, I was so anxious.

How did it go?

I just know it.

I have to run around the corner for some groceries.

Honey, I'm sure you did great.

No. I couldn't remember anything.

Hello?

She just ran to... Oh, Paul.

I did?

Oh. No, I'll pick it up tomorrow.

Thanks.

Bye.

Paul?

Julie's friend, the doctor.

We went cycling and I left my sweater on his bicycle.

I just finished the three worst days of my life and you went out with some guy?

I didn't go out with him. We were part of a group.

Sorry I missed the party.

Don't turn your back on me. Where are you going?

In search of another high? Why not?

Dave, listen to me. I love you, but I don't want a drug addict for a husband.

That is ridiculous.

Do you have any idea of the pressure that I've been under? The bar is over.

Won't you let me help you? Help me?

It's a bit late, isn't it?

You walked out when I needed you the most.

You were right to go.

I'm better off without you.

The flower seems almost alive.

You could sense the water rising through the stem.

Giving it life.

You're catching the spirit of the artist.

You may learn something yet.

There are so many beautiful things in here.

It's all a bit intimidating.

My wife used to say that we antique dealers are the true guardians of

civilization and culture.

She worked here with you?

We opened the shop together. She was my inspiration.

Died a few years ago.

You loved her very much.

I envy you.

Envy me?

Don't be foolish. You're a fine -looking girl. You'll fall in love in no time.

I don't even know if I can.

I wouldn't worry too much.

Love belongs to the young.

I'm not young.

Everyone else in the world is getting married.

Divorced, making love, having children.

It's taken me 26 years just to get a date.

I won't ask if everything's all right.

I can see it's not.

Everything's falling apart.

Dave's on something, isn't he?

What is it, pills?

Is it that obvious?

He's acting like he's wired to an electric socket.

He's been taking uppers to help him get through the bar.

It's not Dave's fault.

I failed him. I never should have moved out.

Would you like me to talk to him?

He wouldn't let him.

It might make things even worse.

Look, Megan, I'm here to help.

We'll find a way out of this.

I'm beginning to think there is no way out.

So what brings you to the St. Gregory?

Well, I decided it was time to leave home and set the world on fire.

See, I even brought my own matches.

You know, I found these by my bedside.

In the hospital?

Yeah.

Somebody must have left it.

I think this is what put the idea about coming here into my head.

You really can't remember anything before you woke up?

Nothing.

The police dragged me out of the passenger seat of my mother's car.

Whoever was driving ran off and left me unconscious.

It's late.

A lot of people would give anything to have that.

Speaking personally, are we?

No, not really.

I'm just a small -town music student. Came to the big city.

I'm still trying to figure you.

You haven't really told me anything about yourself.

I have a hunch you're an interesting man.

I always play your hunches.

I must seem really foolish.

A 26 -year -old who acts like a 15 -year -old?

You act like a highly courageous, beautiful woman.

Thanks.

I haven't been flattered in years.

Tell me more.

How about over dinner?

The night's my night off.

Am I being swept off my feet or what?

Consider yourself swept.

Impressed by the new chef's catering plan.

He has a real feel for the crowning's potential.

Peter?

Hmm?

Oh, sorry.

Yeah, I was thinking about Dave, and he's worked so hard to become a lawyer.

Now this?

It wasn't so long ago I nearly lost everything I'd worked so hard for

You got help?

You wanted to beat the problem.

But every day I remember I'm bulimic.

I nearly killed myself.

Dave's doing the same thing.

Why?

Because we keep pushing ourselves to be the best.

The best lawyer, the best hotel manager. You're doing fine now, Christine.

I'm proud of you.

Why don't we get Dave up here for a nice quiet talk?

Megan thinks that would be a mistake.

Why?

She wants Dave to start accepting responsibility for his own behavior.

Hey!

Look at yourself.

You know, big deal, study A's got you coming apart at the seat. Back off,

I just have to get through my shift.

I won't need these after tomorrow.

I knew a guy who played your game.

He didn't think he could make it by himself, so he did speed.

He felt bigger, stronger, able to leap tall buildings, and then came to down so

he could get back to the ground floor.

and he got so lost inside his head he couldn't find his way out.

Look, I know that you're trying to be a friend, but that's not going to

happen to me.

I was his friend, too.

I helped bury him.

and wasting any time scratching the leather.

Must be mistaken, sir.

Look at the bags.

I just bought these. There wasn't a mark on them. Take it easy. Take it easy. I

only picked them up and put them on the cars.

Is there a problem?

Yes, there's a problem. Your bellman has damaged a very expensive set of

luggage. Dammit, that's not true.

That's enough.

Jerry, take this gentleman's bags inside.

If you'd like to file a damage report, I think Greg will be happy to make good

on it.

Thank you.

I want to see you in my office.

Now.

You never argue with a guest, however difficult he is. Christine's already

spoken to you about this kind of thing.

I'm sorry. I've been burning the candle at both ends.

Lighting the flame with uppers?

Megan told you that?

Megan didn't have to.

Allison's a counselor.

She's had a lot of experience helping people with chemical dependency.

I don't need a counselor.

The hell you don't. I know things are tough, but I can't keep looking the

way, not when your behavior's affecting your work.

Get help, or don't bother coming back to St. Gregory.

It's like we're picking up an old friendship.

That's exactly the way I felt when I saw you in the lobby yesterday.

It scares me a little.

Things like this just aren't supposed to happen.

Says who?

Intelligent, realistic people will fool you on them.

Tony, you make me feel so happy.

I want you to be happy.

Because we have something really special between us.

I'll never be afraid with you.

Let's go.

Oh, God.

Haley. It can't be.

I should have told you. I told you I wanted to tell you I was afraid.

You.

I was going to tell you.

I've waited so long for... Like a nightmare.

What are you doing here with you now?

I left those matches in the hospital.

You left me in that car to die.

I was a kid.

I was terrified. I couldn't think straight. We'd taken your mother's car.

didn't have a license.

So you ran away?

I'm so sorry.

I wanted you to fall in love with me again before I told you.

Brought your sweater back.

Oh, that was very thoughtful of you. I could have picked it up.

Had an appointment in the neighborhood.

The next time, bring Dave with you.

We're hanging a cycling down to Point Reyes.

Oh, Dave, don't tell me.

The Cycling Doctor.

Paul Sawyer, my husband Dave.

Paul was nice enough to return my sweater.

Husband and wife aren't getting along, so here comes Paul to take up the slack.

Stay away from my wife, okay?

I'd better go.

I'll talk to you later, Megan. What later?

A figure of speech.

This isn't... Dave!

You blew it, man.

I picked these up on the Portobello Road on my last visit to London.

They're Staffordshire.

It's a complete set.

It was a complete set.

I'm sorry, Mr. Bennett.

Yeah.

Why are you crying?

It didn't break.

Why did you hire me?

I never should have left home.

Not only is that untrue, but you're casting aspersions on my judgment.

Please.

Tell me what's going on.

I found out who was driving the car that night.

Your... accident.

I know who left me to die.

Fighting in public, insulting the guest.

Dave, you're a wreck. Look, I... I don't know what came over me.

Just give me another chance.

I'll see that drug counsel, I promise.

I'm sorry, Dave.

A promise isn't good enough anymore.

You're starting now. You're on suspension.

Suspension?

Well, you can't mean that.

Someone has to get tough with you.

Until you get your head straight, you don't work here anymore.

You're right, Billy.

I blew it.

I feel like closing up shop myself.

Permanently.

I know how you feel.

How could you?

After my wife died, I almost committed suicide.

I walked down to the ocean and swam out as far as I could.

I intended to exhaust myself and let the sea do the rest. What happened?

I drowned and was never seen again.

No, I, uh... I shut myself away in the shop.

In my own way, I've also been in a coma, Hayley.

I suppose we're a bit alike.

I've come to love this shop as well.

You're young. The pain will go away. You've got plenty of joy ahead of you.

You talk as if you're old.

When you're 50, 60 is closing in fast.

You've been so nice to me.

You've got a kind heart.

I can't imagine you losing a woman if you really wanted her to love you.

It's kind of you to say so, Miss Cole.

A moment ago, you called me Hayley.

So I did.

It's all right.

We've both been alone too long.

Hold me.

Please, Helen.

Listen to me.

I said I'm all out.

How much?

That is twice what you charged last week.

Come on.

Come on, be reasonable. I'm aching all over. My joints are killing me.

Look, I'll pay you tomorrow.

Me again.

I got it.

I said I got the money.

Dave? You home?

I brought you something to eat.

We're saving this for a special weekend away for us both after the bar.

I'm not in the mood to talk to anyone.

I'm not anyone. I'm your wife.

We got married to live together, to have children together.

I was so proud of you. Proud of what?

You get a promotion and I still carry bags up and down the hall. You deserve

better than that. I'm losing you, Dave. You're slipping away.

Then hold on to me. I never meant to hurt you.

I'm gonna change. Say you'll come back to me. I can't!

Not as long as you're an addict.

I can't be an addict's wife.

You really came to see me in the hospital?

Every week, year after year, and after I moved away, I'd drive back to talk to

you.

Talk to me about what?

How much I loved you.

Lyrics to songs.

My job at the St. Gregory, I kept hoping that somehow you'd hear me.

Then why didn't you come see me when I recovered?

I was afraid.

I was waiting for the right moment, and then suddenly you appeared here.

It was as if you heard me tell you I was at the St. Gregory.

Haley.

I've carried my guilt around with me all these years.

I haven't lived any more than you have.

I want sympathy.

I'm sorry, but I don't have any to spare.

I love you.

I think you still feel something for me.

Oh, I feel something.

Something I don't believe I've ever felt before in my life.

Kate.

Of Dave's home, he's not answering.

I feel so guilty putting him on suspension.

Christine, I did it. He's got to pay the price for what he's doing.

It's the only way to get back his self -respect.

We can't turn away from him.

Damn it, Christine, you think I don't care?

I should have seen the signs earlier, watched out for him better.

But nobody made him take those pills.

He has to help himself. He can't. Peter, he looks up to you. What if he were a

child in pain crying out for help? You'd make sure... Don't give me that.

This is different. It's not that easy.

so know we have to reach out anyway.

Tony came to see me.

He handed in his resignation. He's leaving tomorrow.

Maybe now we'll both be able to find some peace.

I realize he did a terrible thing.

If it means anything, I know he's never stopped loving you.

I want to hate Tony.

Somehow I can't. He needs your forgiveness.

I found a safe place here.

I don't ever want to see him again.

Why not, Hayley?

Are you afraid you might still feel something for him?

I'm sorry I'm not quite dressed.

No hurry.

We have an hour before the theatre.

Here.

Let me. Oh, imagine.

Me in such a lovely dress.

Thank you, Vernon.

Why, you make the dress lovely.

You know what they say about a woman in love.

The question is, who do you love?

Me or Tony?

You loved him ten years ago and you started to fall again for him yesterday.

Everything happened so quickly. Who knows what I was feeling?

It doesn't matter now.

It does to me.

What if I asked you to talk to him?

Don't you care for me anymore?

More than ever.

You've opened my eyes and my heart to life.

You've given me a reason to say crazy, passionate things to another human

Then don't make me see Tony again.

I want to stay with you.

Because you love me?

Or because you want to hide from your love for Tony?

I don't know.

Then hadn't you better see him and find out?

Mind if I come in?

I know I was hard on you today.

But I didn't have any choice.

You didn't have to suspend me.

I suspended you as owner of the St. Gregory.

I'm here now as your friend.

If you're having trouble taking the first step...

I can drive you over to see the counselor, stay with you, do what I can,

anything you need.

What am I supposed to say?

Thank you, Mr.

McDermott, for sending me to some counselor who doesn't know the first

about me.

Dave, please, you can't handle this by yourself.

A couple of days, I'll be back at work like nothing was ever wrong.

You gotta face up to this problem of yours before you kill yourself.

You sit up there in that penthouse.

and you drive a fancy Porsche, and you run a five -star hotel, and you think

that you know what I need, you don't understand me at all.

I am just trying to make something of my life.

And the best thing you can do is get out.

Okay, Dave.

I'll always be here for you if you need me.

But you're going to have to take the first step.

Christine said you were leaving.

I won't hurt you anymore.

Any last requests for the piano man?

Time and patience.

And forgiveness.

We both need to put the past behind us and get on with our lives.

It seems we stood and talked like this before.

We looked at each other in the same way then.

But I can't remember where we were.

I had a long talk with Tony.

There's no need to explain. I'm... I'm happy for you both.

Thanks for coming to say goodbye.

Goodbye? Well, you and Tony are... We're friends again, that's all.

But he loves you.

He loves the memory of a 15 -year -old girl.

He needed my forgiveness, not my love.

It'll take him a while to understand that, but I need something else.

What are you saying?

That being here in this shop with you has given me a reason for living.

That this feeling that I have for you is love.

Oh, Hayley.

If I were 35 or 40, but I'm...

I'm a middle -aged man.

A man like you can never be middle -aged.

It could never work. You've been hurt so badly. You're still looking for a safe

place to hide.

Not anymore.

It's time for both of us to take a chance on living again.

I assume this means you still work here.

Yes, Mr. Bennett.

Then, uh... Then don't you think you ought to unpack the galley bars? We,

We don't want a customer tripping over it in the morning.

I feel so helpless.

I wish there was something I could do for David.

We all do, Billy.

He won't let us.

Bye -bye. Bye, Billy. Bye.

Maybe a good night's sleep.

Oh, I couldn't.

My stomach feels like it's on a roller coaster.

Things will work out, Megan.

Believe it.

I hope you're right.

Especially now, there'll be three of us.

Three?

Just found out today.

You're pregnant?

Talk about lousy timing.

Have you told Dave?

I went to tell him today.

I couldn't.

Being a father might turn him around.

That's something he has to do for himself.

I won't force him into anything because we're having a baby.

Oh, Julie.

I'm losing my husband.

And I'm going to have a baby.
