Not exactly the St. Gregory, is it?

I hope you got some sleep. Oh, are you kidding?

Even for a college roommate, this is above and beyond the call.

I promise you I'll be out of here as soon as my place is ready. Don't be

I love having you here.

We've got lots to catch up on. Yeah.

We could start with Peter.

How are things between you two?

Long distance.

He's coming back from New York today, and we've hardly spoken since he left.

We had a stupid... Stupid argument over nothing. It just got out of hand.

He's home. You'll talk.

You'll work things out.

Believe me, the minute he sees you again, we may only have a minute.

Remember the renovation I mentioned we had decided to put on the back burner?

Well, Peter's changed his mind.

He sent word that the project would go.

He's bringing back Devin Sloan to design the new St. Gregory.

Oh, isn't she that jet?

That beauty they keep raving about in Architectural Digest.

It's Peter.

Nothing is too good for the St.

Gregory.

Speaking of which, I am on my way.

Oh, hey, are we still on for the movie tomorrow night?

You better believe it.

I'd pay to watch Bruce Willis read the phone book.

Good to have you back, Mr. McDermott. Thank you, Gina.

Welcome to your new assignment.

I'd forgotten how magnificent the St. Gregory is.

It's going to be very hard to improve. That's why I hired the best.

It's marvelous.

It's so 40s.

It's really going to be a challenge. Are Miss Sloan's rooms ready? Yes, sir.

Miss Sloan is in the Versailles suite.

We hope you'll find you'll stay comfortable.

Thank you. I'm sure I will.

Welcome back, sir.

Welcome home.

Devin, this is my general manager, Christine Francis.

Devin Sloan. How do you do?

How do you do?

Trip go well?

Well, I managed to get away with New York's top designer, didn't I?

I sent another car for the rest.

You should see me when I don't travel late.

Eric will show you up to your suite. I'll come by when you're settled.

All right. Right this way, Miss.

Well, it's good to have you back.

Thanks.

We have a lot to talk about.

Why don't you brief me on the way up?

That's an endangered species.

Nope, absolutely one of a kind.

But can't you cook?

Hello, hello.

Hey, Keith, how'd it go at Van Fleet's? Great.

Your jeweler has agreed to show a few of my pieces.

That's terrific.

Way to go, buddy.

You got time for coffee before you take off?

Oh, man, I wish I could, but I have to check out another promising prospect.

But I'll see you later, right? Eight o 'clock?

Great.

Well, it seems to be working out between you two.

Chalk up a point for Griffin, matchmaker.

Keep this up and blind dating may just come back into style.

Where have you been hiding yourself?

As far away from you as possible. Oh, come on, come on. You're not still mad

about the other night?

Look, you're lucky I didn't have you thrown in jail.

Have a nice day.

You've done a great job of holding down the fort, as usual.

Peter, there are some things we really need to... I know my decision to hire

Devin came as a surprise.

To put it mildly. But I was just lucky to get her between assignments.

Lucky. She's just been named designer of the 80s, you know?

Impressive.

I've done a lot of thinking while you've been gone. And look, I know Devin's

tastes run to modern, but will you hear her ideas?

You're going to love them.

Very East Coast, high tech, very now.

That's wonderful.

But in case you've forgotten, the St. Gregory happens to be very then.

Now it's not... I know she's intimidating, but believe me, under all

is a warm, sensitive woman.

Trust me.

Why wouldn't I trust you?

I just meant... What did you want to talk to me about?

Oh, nothing important.

Just you, me, us.

Whether there is an us.

Oh.

Oh?

Peter, you ran off to New York without saying goodbye.

I flew to New York.

I said goodbye.

Yes, but not like... Could we talk about this later?

I really should go check on Devin.

Okay?

What?

I wonder just how now stuffed Marlon is. All right, we'll talk. No, no, no harm.

But you know that's going to be the first thing to go.

We can stop by to see if everything's all right.

Peter, the rooms are enchanting. So comfortable.

And I've already got some ideas on how to make them even better.

When will you have a minute for us to go over them?

Probably not before dinner tonight.

Wonderful.

Shall we meet at your office?

I can't wait to see it.

Seven?

Seven.

Looks like some people are missing jazzercise class tonight.

Some people have a date.

Keith Andrews again?

How did... Never mind.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait.

You mean there is a man that you can actually tolerate for more than one

Amazing.

Three.

But who's counting?

Three?

Astounding.

Astounding.

Scotty, beam me up.

These came in while you were on the phone.

Oh, I'll return them from home.

Seems like you never get away from work.

My grandmother used to say there's no rest for the wicked.

Mr. McDermott's still in his office.

Do you have a minute? Yeah.

I mean, no.

Oh, that is, Devin's coming by to talk sketches.

Talk sketches?

Sketches, swatches.

Bitches.

Miss Francis, how nice to see you again.

Christine, please.

I was just leaving.

Can't you stay a minute?

We're not rushing off, are we?

No, no.

Maybe Christine would like to join us for dinner. Oh, no, no, really, thank

Incredible.

This Marlon is unbelievable.

Yeah, I know, but I caught it myself. It had sentimental value.

I'm sure it has.

He must have weighed in about, in about what, 150?

Just over 200 pounds.

Gorgeous blue.

Fabulous.

You like him?

I love him.

I go sport fishing myself, you know. A few times a year off the Bahamas.

I've had a few billfish on the line, but never a specimen like this.

Oh, you don't have to rush off, do you?

Homework.

I hope Peter doesn't work you too hard.

Oh, no.

No, he keeps the same demanding schedule.

Usually.

Maybe I can take a look at your office tomorrow.

I've got some heavenly wall cover samples to show you.

Oh.

Don't have your swatch book with you? No, Peter and I plan to go over samples

after dinner.

Well, you two have a terrific evening.

Thank you.

I'm sure we will.

What's the verdict?

Terrific. It's my first Yuppie Garrett.

First artist I've known who actually makes a living at it.

Well, close to a living, anyway.

Thanks. Of course, no one's going to want to do your biography.

No, I don't think so.

Torment makes better copy.

Heartline.

It's very deep.

Fatal flaw, unfortunately.

Very responsive lady.

It's weakness I have, it's toothache.

How do you feel about cook?

I make a great pancake breakfast.

Fattening.

How do you like your eggs?

At the St. Gregory tomorrow. I have to be in early.

I really do have to go. Oh, sure you do.

Come on, Keith.

Let me up. Okay, okay. You've lodged your protest. It's official.

Now let's just relax and enjoy this, huh?

Stop it. Come on, baby.

Keith. Just relax. There's nothing you can do about it.

Give me a little help here, huh? Stop it. Stop it.

Keith.

What is the deal with you?

Paradis. You seem to know all my favorites.

Let's enjoy it on the terrace.

All right.

I want to show off my city.

considering you've seen the best the world has to offer.

San Francisco has always had a special excitement.

They say it's the most romantic city in the world.

Fascinating, isn't it?

To realize how many times we've been in the same city without.

It's fascinating.

Van, I believe in destinies, don't you?

People meeting when the time is right.

Like our meeting for the renovation?

The renovation?

I haven't told you how happy I am you took this project.

And I haven't told you how flattered I am you asked.

Well, you must have had lots of offers.

None that I felt is right about.

I've always had a special place in my heart for the St. Gregory.

You see, one of the nicest things about success is being able to accept the jobs

I want.

But you don't have to work.

Get ready for the world's darkest little secret.

When it was time to collect my trust fund, the cupboards and daddy's pockets

were bare.

But everyone thinks... That I'm filthy rich.

I've earned every dollar the old -fashioned way.

And managed to save face for moms and dad.

You can't imagine their relief when they realize that someone in the family had

talent.

And it doesn't hurt to have a title.

Oh, yes.

What is it?

La Comtesse de Val?

The title, that was my second husband's alimony.

And the first?

A driver at Le Mans.

Not a very careful one.

The press decided to ignore him.

He's tucked away in a small but very significant corner of my heart.

So when I get lonely these days...

Off to Morocco, Monaco, Macau.

I wouldn't think loneliness would be a problem with someone as lovely, as

desirable. As busy, as important, as threatening.

You have to know what that's like.

Sometimes.

Let's not talk about that anymore.

Where were we?

Overlooking the most romantic city in the world.

Missed the commuter train?

What? Did you miss the commuter train?

Oh, I slept through the alarm.

I haven't got time to stand around and talk.

Judy, call my dad.

I just sold a couple pieces of my jewelry, and they are giving me a window

display. Oh, right.

Hey, um, where's Julie this morning?

She just bit my head off and charged upstairs.

I mean, did you guys have a fight last night or something?

Well, I wasn't going to say anything, but, um, I think Julie's got kind of a

problem.

What do you mean?

Well, she came on pretty strong last night.

I mean, she was like... Awfully needy, you know what I mean? And when I told

it was a little soon for heavy commitment, she got weird on me.

And, you know, I don't want to hurt her feelings, but, you know, I think maybe

I'm not the right guy for her.

Doesn't look like you're ready to give up the bachelor life for anyone yet.

I'll see you.

Yes, that's right.

No, I'll hold.

Ring Carol. Tell her I need the specs on the 49ers banquet.

I'll move my 2 o 'clock down an hour if possible.

You got it. No, that's all right. I'll hold.

Oh, and you better remind Mr. McDermott we have a convention pitch with the

Alcatron reps at 1.

It'll be handled deftly by my general manager.

Uh, can I get right back?

What? I won't be back from lunch in time.

Devin and I are joining the Jared Smiths for lunch after his polo match. Can you

believe her family's been friends of theirs for a long time?

I can't believe you intend to miss this meeting.

Why wouldn't if I didn't have you?

These are important contacts, Christine.

Yes, I know that, Peter.

Smith sits on five or six boards, including city planning. His wife's

in every cultural and charity program in town.

But... You have wanted a season of orchestra seats for the ballet.

So you're deserting me to gallivant with the jet set?

I don't call a business lunch gallivanting.

And I don't call what you're having a business lunch.

Damn it, Peter. Since you've been back, we haven't exchanged two words about

anything but the renovation and how comfortable you're making our designer.

Exactly when is she going to start designing?

It won't hurt her to get out a little, Christine. Soak up the ambience. Getting

a feel for San Francisco again can only help her with a project.

And what if we don't land one of the clients who might help pay for it? I

the utmost confidence in your ability. And I can't believe your

irresponsibility. You're going to be sorry for those words, Christine, when I

hand you those ballet tickets.

Lunch wasn't deadly for you.

Smiths are pretty dull.

But they'd be absolute hell to pay if I came to San Francisco and didn't see

them. Well, I just kept him talking about the ponies. He's invited me to

his polo club.

Well, it's not bad about kidnapping you today.

Well, you've had a willing captor.

It's such a treat.

Do you know how many times I've been here and I've never ridden in a cable

So many of the love and simple pleasures.

Maybe I've been waiting for you to show them to me.

Well, maybe we should figure out what to do with the rest of your day.

What'll it be first?

Lombard Street?

Ghirardelli Square?

You're the guide.

I'm putting myself in your hands.

Yes, but I approved placing that order last week. Why is it taking so long?

I'm the general manager. I'm telling you, just do it.

Thank you.

You look like you could use a little Otso Buco and Bruce Willis.

Calamari and Bruce Willis?

Oh, Annie, I'm sorry.

You see?

He's ruined my whole day.

Could we play catch -up here? I seem to be missing a few pieces. Peter!

Sometimes he can be so insensitive.

Sometimes they all can.

What happened?

We had an important meeting today that he just threw in my lap to traipse off

and tour San Francisco with Devin Sloan.

He's still not back, and I have to speak to him.

We have a spacing snag with the convention layout, and the client won't

until Peter personally okays my recommendations.

If they don't hear from us first thing in the morning, where the hell is he?

Are you sure this is only about him dumping a meeting on you?

Yes, of course.

What else?

Nothing.

You think so?

I'm worried, that's all.

This is a very big client. There's a lot at stake here. Thank Gregory and for

Peter. For you?

Why can't he just stop all this running and talk to me?

I need to know what he's thinking.

Give him a few more days, Christine.

He's probably hiding behind the project because he's not ready to face you.

Oh, that's just fine.

Where am I supposed to hide?

At dinner and the movies?

Oh, Annie, I can't. Oh, come on. Yes, you can. Yes, you can.

Please.

We're asking a lot of Bruce Willis.

Excuse me.

Julie Gillette, Guest Relations.

I don't want to intrude, but... Yes?

That man, Keith Andrews?

You've got to be careful. He's, uh... What?

I don't have time to explain, but please.

I went out with him. I know him. Is it hotel policy to butt in to guests'

private affairs?

Of course it isn't. It's just... Then maybe you better mind your own business.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

I don't know whatever your personal beef with Keith is, but that was so

unprofessional.

Is that all you care about?

You don't know what happened.

Perfect day, perfect God, and now this.

You've outdone yourself.

But St. Gregory likes to keep his staff happy.

Is this the standard procedure?

No.

No, this is a special procedure.

No.

Thank you for a rare, uncomplicated day.

Here's to our association.

May it remain productive and satisfying.

Productive?

Satisfying.

Don't look now, but a certain hotel owner and a certain internationally

strikingly clad interior designer just came in together.

So? So?

So, they were probably, I don't know, they were probably out getting

or something.

Eric, we need to have a long talk.

There's one panorama you haven't shown me.

The view from the penthouse in the morning light.

I'm busy right now. Well, when won't you be? I want to know what's going on.

Keith told you, apparently. I want to hear yours. Do you?

Try me. Keith's my friend. I want to know what... Keith's your friend? What

supposed to be? You're both my friends, and I don't want to ruin that by taking

sides. Well, you're going to have to, okay?

You know, I don't understand how you can be friends with someone like that

anyway. Well, I am, and I'm going to find out what's going on with you two.

don't you do that?

Why don't you just ask your wonderful friend?

like the idle rich this morning.

They never fall for themselves, Peter.

How do you like my plans for the lobby?

Well, they're different, I'll admit.

Don't you just love the new reception area?

I... I'm sorry. I thought you'd be working.

The Alcatron people, they need... I need your...

I'll call your office later.

Christine.

Peter,

I... What about the meeting?

Well, I think we have a deal, but there are a couple of things still holding.

They want an answer first thing this morning, and I...

Tried reaching you last night, but you weren't.

I mean, you and I need to... Well, we can straighten it out.

Just give me a moment to get organized.

Shall I wait in your office?

No, I'll come to yours.

How stupid of me not to have realized.

He's free to do anything he wants.

It's really none of my business.

I feel like such a fool.

I hate him.

I hate her and the damn swatches she wrote in on.

Hey, how's it going with the blonde Adonis?

Not now.

I'm sorry.

It's my fault.

I'd be so with anyone today.

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

Me?

I don't know what's wrong.

Come here.

Talk.

Something happened a couple of nights ago with Keith at his apartment.

That neat guy?

Something bad?

He actually tried to rape me.

Wait. You mean really?

Have you talked to anybody? Did you call the police?

I'll just say that I'm upset.

Exaggerating.

I mean, he didn't actually... And I did go to his apartment.

And that gives him the right to attack you?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Look, this is not your fault.

There are hotlines you can call. You know, maybe they can help.

I don't want to talk to anybody. I don't want to talk to strangers, okay?

I just feel violated.

I feel insulted.

It's so different when it's you and not someone else.

afternoon. Is Miss Francis in? Excuse me, but do you...

Christine, about this morning,

I think it might be a very good idea to clear the air.

No, no need. It's my fault. I should have called first.

You don't have to worry about something like that happening again.

That's not why I came to see you.

I'm afraid I did not realize you and Peter have been involved.

Why would you have?

Peter didn't mention it. You know how men are. They avoid emotional issues at

all costs.

Are you and Peter still... Whatever.

I'm the general manager and he's the owner.

Well, then our friendship won't interfere with you and I working

renovation. I really do value your opinions, Christine.

You have such style.

Thank you.

And you are general manager.

So can we have lunch and go over the plans?

You know, I'm trying very hard to hate you.

But you're making that difficult.

Wait. I have my moments.

But I really do hope that we'll get along.

I don't know why, but with men it always seems so easy. They just kind of topple

over.

Thank God we're not that susceptible.

I'll call you about lunch.

Okay.

Heartline.

I wish I didn't have to leave tomorrow.

So does Keith.

I really can't stay long. My flight leaves early.

I wanted you from the first moment I saw you in the hotel.

Keith.

I hope I didn't give you the wrong impression. Oh, it's no.

But if yes, I read you honey loud and clear. Keith, please.

Keith, please.

I want to go back to the hotel, okay? No, you don't. Keith, I said no.

Come on, baby.

Come on, just relax. Keith, what's going on?

Just relax, baby. Don't give me a hard time. Come on. Don't fight it. You know

you're going to love it.

Please, help me.

We were a sensation.

You were.

I'm never going to be good at partying. Not true.

We have chemistry as a couple.

You're a teen.

You talk like it's some kind of audition.

Didn't you just love the look on their faces when we came in?

Dying to know if we were the real thing.

But too god -awful proper to ask. I'm glad we didn't disappoint them.

Louis XIII Brandy. I feel outclassed. Not to mention out of distance.

Don't you ever rest?

I'm very good at the game, Peter.

Which makes a lot of people think that I'm the original Iron Butterfly.

It is anything but the truth.

It's hard for me to think of you as anything but one of the most feminine

I've ever met.

Because you understand me.

How treasured and protected I feel when I'm with you.

It's what every woman longs to feel with the man she loves.

Peter, I don't believe in long -term affairs.

When I love a man, I want to be his, and I want him to be mine completely.

We're working on that.

I know you think our worlds are different, but...

If I could just make you see that they could, in hand, compliment each other.

We're good for each other, Peter.

We're good together.

Well, you're very good for me.

Do you always interrupt a lady when she's in the midst of proposing

You know, before I met you, I was a workaholic.

I know, Kate. You only got some sleep.

I hope my proposal didn't cost you.

A little shock reaction, that's all.

All right.

I've been called impulsive, but not this time.

Do you love me?

Yeah, I think so.

But, Devin...

Owning and running the St. Gregory is practically my whole life.

As much as I want to, I couldn't possibly run off and fly around

with a wife whose home is the world.

But I know that.

And what you just described, that's not my idea of marriage at all.

I want to be a real wife.

I intend to give up my career for you.

You know what you're saying?

I'm flattered.

Touched.

Could you give up your lifestyle?

The excitement, the freedom, the tension.

Could I really make the sacrifice worthwhile?

Sacrifice?

Peter, you don't know how I've longed for the things you bring to my life.

Stability, security, a stationary home.

And the city's bursting with cultural and charitable groups just aching for a

society hostess. And with the contacts I have, I could be of real help to you.

You really could settle down?

With an occasional break for deep -sea fishing.

Otherwise, my first charitable donation would be a 12 -piece set of shockingly

extravagant luggage.

I love you, Peter.

Being a success in your life is all I ever need.

Are you sure you really want him or just hate him wanting someone else? Yes.

On both counts.

Then dig your heels in and fight for him.

How can I?

I don't even know if he wants me anymore.

And if I did win him back, how can I be sure there won't be another Devin

waiting around the corner somewhere?

He can't.

Like the man said, there are no guarantees.

Oh, Annie, I made so many mistakes.

I was too sure of him.

Even when I didn't know if I wanted him.

It just... It never dawned on me that when I finally came around to saying

it might be too late.

You're not sure that it is?

Don't underestimate Devin.

A woman who doesn't get seasick on a fishing boat?

Shame on you.

Now, that is not the Christine Francis I know.

If you want the man, march in there this morning and tell him so.

And if moral support is in order, I'm as near as the phone.

Julie, why didn't you tell me?

My God, why didn't you let me help you?

I wanted to.

It was so humiliating.

And I actually wasn't sure you'd believe me.

Well, you're going to have to believe me.

I didn't know he was capable of a thing like that.

I've been responsible.

Julie, I don't want him to get away with it.

He pulled the same number last night with Marcy James, the guest you tried to

warn.

She's afraid to sign a complaint, but unless someone files charges against

her... What, and have them tell her that it's not attempted rape because it's

someone you know?

The hell it's not.

It's assault.

It's a criminal act.

It burns me up when a woman gets up the nerve to come forward and report these

guys that she gets hassled.

Look, let me talk to her.

I know how she's feeling.

Maybe we can give each other strength and go to the police together.

You know what you're getting into?

They're going to drag out all the details.

They're going to say you asked for it.

There's still some jerks out there who believe that when a woman gets raped,

deserves it.

Can you handle that?

I have to.

I can't walk away and let him do this to someone else.

Then I'm with you on it.

Just don't shut me out, all right?

I've got friends. You don't have to go through this alone. I'll help you get

counseling.

Let's just go in and call Marcy while I still have the nerve.

Stan.

You first.

No. No, you.

When I went to New York, I felt like you didn't believe in our love.

I need a love I can trust, Christine, just like you do.

But we can have that.

We did have that.

Except... I don't think I realized just how much I needed that trust, that

devotion.

Till now.

Now?

Christine, something's happened since I came back.

Some thing called Devin? She's there for me, damn it.

She's honest, open. She believes two people who love each other can work out

their problems together.

And she's willing to take a chance for what she wants. And she wants you.

Yeah, well, last night we sort of, I mean, she sort of asked me to marry her.

She what?

While you were going over her etchings for the St. Gregory?

Look, Christine, I haven't decided. You haven't decided? Peter, what's to

decide? She's beautiful, she's intelligent, she's wealthy, well

And she obviously won't fail you the way I have.

Let's face it, Peter, we've blown it.

It's over between us.

You mean that? Don't you?

Well, I... I mean, what more could you ask for?

She's designer of the 80s.

And she's in love with you.

You and your damn stuffed fish.

Christine.

You have my blessing, Peter.

That's what you want, isn't it? Well, marry her then. I wish you all the

happiness in the world.

Cheryl, did you know they're replacing the Rotunda seat with some kind of a

-form waterfall?

Fabulous. That's just what we need. A St. Gregory remake of Three Coins in the

Fountain. Three what?

Coins in the... Don't you ever watch The Late Show?

How late? I have to be here at seven.

Darling, that's why God created VCRs.

I hope it's going to stay the same wonderful St. Gregory.

It's been half a day since I've seen you.

I hope the news isn't as upsetting as your expression.

Devin. Please, it's bad news.

I got a little problem with what we talked about, and it's been bothering me

morning.

Peter, I meant every word that I said.

I'm ready to devote myself to you, to us 100%. Good.

In that case, Miss Sloan.

I'd be honored.

I'd be very happy if you'd become Mrs. Peter McDermott. I got this thing about

doing my own proposing.

Oh, Peter.

Yes. Yes. Yes.
