Previously on L .A. Law. You never left the hotels?

Of course I left the hotels.

This is a new dawn, a new day.

A new me.

Becker, get a haircut.

You look ridiculous.

I'll call you back.

Stuart!

How am I supposed to work with all this racket?

I fixed the record player.

The area in Stewart's brain that's been affected has to do with the storage of

information. A full or even partial recovery could take months.

The doctor doesn't know anything, and neither do I. I can't... Why can't I

remember? I don't know the people in those pictures. I can't remember the

of our son.

Would you prosecute this case? That's up to the DA's office. Who's telling the

truth? We'll find out. Then it's possible Markowitz provoked his

Anything's possible.

If you believe that.

Be prepared, because if you lose this election and your remaining option is

returning to the firm, it will be a cold place indeed.

Look what you've done now, Daddy.

Look what you've gone and done.

Go to sleep now.

Every night, you are in my dreams.

Why are you trapped in here?

Dream of the East.

Hey, come on, Tennessee. Let's take a free ride, huh?

Before we begin, I'd just like to

say one thing.

It's great to be here. You were missed, Douglas. I'm sure Jonathan Rollins is

happy to be home as well.

Yeah, I'm glad I'm able to return.

We need your contribution, Charlie.

We'll come back. Having dispensed with the pleasantries, let's get down to

business. Where's the half and half? Where are the bagels?

Benny is really dropping the ball here, Douglas. As I was saying, Weston versus

Weston. Yeah, we're going over the final settlement offer this morning. Why are

Gwen and Ann Kelsey handling the divorce for a potential multi -million dollar

client? Alec Weston wasn't happy with Arnold's performance.

You were fired? The guy's used to calling the shots.

We had a difference of opinion.

We need Weston's business. Make sure you make him happy. I'll reiterate that

request to Anne when she arrives with Stuart, which at this rate may be

lunchtime. Moving on. Corcoran Winery versus Sam Corcoran Winery. Sam is being

sued by his older brother who claims Sam is marketing bad wine, causing consumer

confusion over the Corcoran name.

Sounds like sour grapes to me. Thanksgiving at their house must be a

Two brothers haven't spoken in years. Family name is all that's holding them

together. Keep us posted. Douglas, I just want to go on the record. Once

I've been railroaded into taking a case that I don't want.

Trade name disputes are outside my expertise.

So is entertainment law.

I'll let this go for now. I don't want to dissipate my chi. Your chi?

You wouldn't understand.

Sorry we're late.

Stuart. Oh, this is a marvelous day indeed.

You're going to make Stuart uncomfortable.

You requested frankness? No, I didn't.

You honestly believe he's ready to come back? He needs to be in a familiar

environment. What could be more familiar than his own home? This is not open for

discussion. I am nothing if not sympathetic to his mental condition. It

mental condition. I just don't believe this is the best place for him to be. If

you don't start calling my husband by his name, I swear... I'm thinking about

what's best for Stuart.

Since when did you ever think of anyone but yourself?

Roxanne?

You're 51 minutes late. I have personal business.

That's what personal time is for. Such time being before 8, after 6, and

weekends. I also have an appointment later this morning. You're the office

manager, Roxanne. You're not setting a good example.

Douglas, I have been working from sunup to sunup, filling in for you.

I don't have someone to run errands. I don't have a secretary.

It's just me.

Benny? I'd like a word with you.

You what? Your name was brought up at this morning's staff meeting.

It was?

Yes. Apparently, you haven't been doing your job very well.

I haven't?

Finish delivering the mail.

Then come to my office.

Doors open, Gwen.

Have a minute.

Actually, I don't.

It's important.

I know everyone around here is angry with me.

I want to apologize.

You've come to the wrong place looking for absolution.

I don't think Stuart provoked his attackers.

I read what you said in the newspapers. You know how those things get twisted

around, taken out of context.

I was in a difficult situation. A difficult situation is watching your

lie in a hospital bed, not knowing if he will ever regain consciousness.

You don't think I'm aware that... Stuart, never!

looked at another human being with anything but compassion and humor.

Please leave.

Come on in, Gwen.

At least the voters

in Jonathan Rollins' district knew a coward when they saw one.

Alec Weston's waiting in the conference room.

I'm ready.

Mr.

Corcoran, how long has the Corcoran family been making wine in the Napa

My great -grandfather brought grape cuttings from Bordeaux in 1892.

My family's been selling wine under the Corcoran label ever since.

Your great -grandfather, your family... Mr. Becker, I will not tolerate

outbursts of any kind. Sorry, Your Honor.

When did you start working at the winery?

Spring of 66.

I was in high school, part -timed, after school and on the weekends alongside my

father. When did you begin running Corcoran Winery? Twelve years ago when

father died.

And what about your brother, Sam?

Sam never showed any interest in the business. Objection. Sustained.

Mr. Corcoran, how is the winery doing now? Last year, Corcoran Chardonnay was

one of the top sellers in California.

And this year? Sales are down.

Why is that? Sam insists on selling these bottled chemistry experiments and

using the Corcoran name.

Objection. No foundation.

Sustained. I have to protect my business and the family name.

Making fine wine is not a hobby. It's a serious commitment.

Don't you think I know that? Strike the last remarks from both Mr.

Corcoran's. I won't warn either of you again.

Nothing further.

Counsel your witness.

How do you feel about Sam?

He's my little brother. So you hold him no ill will? Objection. Relevant.

Trying to establish bias, Your Honor?

Overruled.

What, Mr. Corcoran?

Not personally, no. Five years ago, when he wanted to return to the winery,

didn't you turn him away? He only wanted to do things his way. He didn't have

the experience.

How experienced were you when you became a vintner? Maybe if Sam hadn't run off

in the first place, if he'd shown any maturity at all. How mature was he

supposed to be at 18?

I never had the chance to be 18.

The fact remains you resent Sam's freedom and the choices he made. Look, I

always working, mucking around in the mud, fixing irrigation pumps.

Swatting away flies. Now you're so upset with him, you'll do anything to stop

Sam from succeeding. Objection.

It's good to see you hold no ill will.

Mr. Becker.

Withdrawn.

Nothing further.

Two Picasso lithos, a Manet and a Rauschenberg.

The artwork stays with Elaine.

The Brownwood estate?

Properties assessed at over 2 .5 million. The children should stay with

home. Alec retains the townhouse in Beverly Hills, the apartment in

as well as the cabin in Aspen. At least you won't hear me complaining about

this. No.

That covers community assets. Shall we move on?

We haven't discussed Western Realty. Western Realty's value is reflected in

offer. Gwen?

Current figures of... Mrs. Weston intends to retain her partnership in

Realty. Absolutely not. I'm afraid my client sees it differently.

Weston Realty is a virtual empire.

That I built.

Elaine Weston was managing partner eight years, during which time, holdings

tripled. I worked just as hard as you building up that company.

You can't simply push me aside.

You want out of my life. You want out of my business, too. You can't bully me

anymore, Alec.

I'm standing up for myself.

Hey, Benny.

What are you doing?

I'm restructuring tax shelters in the Barrow estate.

Oh.

Stuart.

Mr. Brackman's going to yell at me.

How do you know?

Well, he said, Benny, you haven't been doing your job very well.

And then he said, finish delivering the mail and come to my office.

Well, I don't want to go to his office.

You know something, Benny?

I don't want to restructure the Barrow estate.

Transferring property holdings at depreciated value to the heirs reduces

estate taxes by 16%. Who cares?

Is this what I used to do all day?

Well, you work here.

It's your job, I guess.

Oh, Ben.

Take the day off.

But today's not the weekend.

It is if we say it is. Come on. Wait, wait, wait. What are we doing?

We're getting out of here, Benny.

But I don't want to get fired.

Hey, look.

It's okay. You're with me.

Come on.

I thought somebody was going to catch us. Hey, taking the freight elevator,

Benny, great idea.

What are we going to do now?

I don't know.

What are you going to do?

I don't know. What do you want to do?

Well, we can do whatever we want to do.

We go to my house and watch TV.

Hey, that's my bus.

You take the bus?

Number 320, transfer to number 207.

$1 .35.

Come on.

Hey!

You didn't look both ways.

Come on, we're going to miss it.

Wait, wait, okay.

I'm coming.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Tell us about the Sam Corcoran Winery. I have six different grape varietals.

Since my overall volume is small, there's room for experimentation.

Such as?

Varying levels of sugars, adjusting temperatures, trying different

casks. Why experiment?

Well, every great winemaker has a signature style.

I'm just trying to find my own.

Now, why did you want to start your own winery?

After being away from Napa Valley, I realized that it was my home.

And I wanted to be part of the family's tradition.

Why use the Corcoran name?

Your brother's winery was already established.

It's my name, too.

Nothing further.

Isn't it true that last year you recalled 200 cases of Zinfandel? Yes,

was due to a miscalculation with the new formula. That problem's been corrected.

Do you have any formal winemaking training? I took several viticulture

at UC Davis.

But you didn't receive a degree, did you? No. In fact, you dropped out of

freshman year. Objection. Relevance. Goes to defendant's history of failing

sustain a long -term interest in his endeavors, whether they be vocational or

avocational. I'll allow it. Isn't it likely that your foray into the

business will end like everything else in your life, a failed effort? I am not

going to fail, despite what my brother tells you. Now... Thank you, Mr.

Corcoran. That's all.

You may step down, Mr. Corcoran.

The court will take a 15 -minute recess.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Why do you think I had to get away from Greg in the first

place, huh? It's because he never believed that I could do anything, not

well as him. You weren't willing to learn, Sam. You had no patience.

When things didn't go your way, you just took off. You wouldn't let me breathe.

Right.

Even the cheapest wine's got to be able to breathe. Otherwise, it's just no

good. Isn't that right, big brother?

Whoa.

Hey.

Some things never change.

So what are you saying? If we go to court, Elaine could win?

Well, the way the partnership is structured, your wife owns 50%. This was

going in. We wanted to avoid having a judge rule the company be sold.

I'm not liquidating a business I spent over half my life building.

Elaine wants Western Realty?

I want the kids. You told me you didn't want custody.

Elaine will do anything to keep her children.

They are your children, too, not bargaining chips.

I will not pay to be lectured. I hired Mackenzie Brackman to protect my

interests. Do you have any grounds for a custodial dispute?

Elaine had an affair last year.

Extramarital affairs or not? With our next -door neighbor's son. He was 19

old at the time.

I have the love letters he sent Elaine.

Excuse me. I'm sorry to interrupt. Ann, it's Stuart and Benny.

They're missing.

If you'll excuse me.

Her son?

Husband, Mr. Weston, perhaps we should finish this later.

No, now is not the time to let up.

Ann Kelsey is an excellent attorney if she doesn't recommend suing for custody.

I want to know what you think.

I really don't think it's my place.

It's not up to you or Miss Kelsey to determine my wife's fitness now, is it?

Miss Taylor, I believe that you are going to make an excellent attorney.

But at the moment, I need someone who is going to work with me.

So, you're suggesting that we blackmail your wife into dropping her claim on

Weston Realty. I am suggesting that we remind my wife that there is the

possibility that she could lose her children.

The problem is, a love letter doesn't prove anything.

Well, I know Elaine, and Elaine won't take that chance.

Do you believe your wife is an inadequate mother?

No.

Of course.

That doesn't mean we can't make a judge feel differently.

You know, I'm thinking, man.

Maybe we shouldn't go to your place.

Then we should get off.

Well, I mean, we can go someplace.

Where? I don't know. I bet this bus goes a lot of places.

Are you two getting off or what?

No, we're going to stay on.

Well, then, sit down.

Right.

Before we get started, one final warning.

If either of you make one more outburst, I'll hold you both in contempt.

Mr. Becker, your witness.

Could you please state your name and occupation for the court?

Arch... Archie Briggs, oenological expert.

What? A wine consultant.

Thank you. Let's move on. Mr. Briggs, have you tasted the 1990 Corcoran

Chardonnay? On several occasions.

And have you had the opportunity to sample my client's release?

Yes, at this year's Crestridge Tasting Championships.

It had a surprisingly marvelous nose, almost tropical, with

a rich style, but not full -blown. Objection. What is he talking about?

In layman's terms, please, Mr. Briggs. Well, the wine had a lingering creamy

finish coupled with a toasty, oak assertiveness with just a hint of

impertinence gee thanks compare now if you would sam chardonnay

with the original corcoran chardonnay well i found the corcoran chardonnay a

nice table wine but Hardly stimulating.

Objection. It's actually quite ordinary, in fact. I object to this witness. Too

late, Mr. Richards. Both parties agreed that Mr. Briggs is competent to testify

as an expert.

Well, of course they agreed. Lawyers know zilch about wine. I never met a

who would spend more than $8 on a bottle.

Objection. Mr. Briggs. Cheap. Little money -grubbing parasites.

Of course, it is never too late for me to disagree that Mr. Briggs is competent

to testify as an expert. The witness is excused. You can't do that.

I just did.

His testimony is ordered stricken.

And if you're not happy, Mr. Becker, you can take me up on a writ.

Frankly, I have had it up to here with these experts.

Since this case is about consumer perception, I'm suggesting we let the 12

consumers sitting on the jury make their own evaluation.

Any objections?

No objection, Your Honor. None here.

Good. Then we'll reconvene this afternoon at two for an official wine

Who's going to bring the crackers and brie?

Court is adjourned.

This is fun.

Yeah, what did I tell you?

How come we never did this before?

I don't know.

For kids.

Yeah.

Hey, Ben.

I'll give you 20 bucks if you jump in.

I'll give you 20 bucks.

Done.

It's probably warm. Salty, but warm. Stuart, wait. No. Wait? Why wait?

This is going to be a hoot. No, don't.

You really thought I was going to do it?

I know you were teasing.

You did?

No.

What's next?

I don't know.

Maybe we should go back to work.

Think so?

Last time I was out too long, Roxanne yelled at me.

Said I was irresponsible.

Where do we get the bus?

Oh, that's fine. Never mind. We'll walk.

Isn't it too far?

I'm going to give it a ride.

Stranger? Hey, Ben.

Strangers are just people you haven't met yet. I read that in Reader's Digest.

And keeps a copy in the bathroom.

Colonial black, two -line inscription.

Size wasn't marked on this.

I don't remember.

Did you keep your receipt?

How about your brochure? Funeral homes always write it down in the brochure for

the customers.

I ordered my father's headstone over a year ago.

Maybe I should talk to Mr. Kratzer. He's the one I dealt with at the funeral

home. No good.

Kratzer passed away. Don't worry, Miss Melman. We'll find your father.

Hey, look.

I found it.

No, Cratchers' headstone. What a coincidence.

Kind of spooky, huh?

Mr. Corelli, whenever I go to the cemetery, I spend all my time searching

mound of dirt.

Now, why should I have to look all over Kingdom Come just to visit my father's

grave? Miss Melman, I found it.

It's Millman with an A.

Hey, gorgeous.

Hey.

You're not speaking to me either?

Not exactly a hero's welcome this morning. You noticed?

Today's news is tomorrow's garbage. Old headlines end up lining somebody's

birdcage. Yeah, just call me Guano.

Any word?

They've been gone for hours.

No, man is still out searching.

I'm beginning to grow concerned.

Maybe I should go too.

Yeah, Stuart and Benny. Could be almost anywhere.

Excuse me. What is it, Gwen? Alec Weston's asked if I could represent him

settlement conference while Anne's unavailable.

Well, I'm aware that under apprenticeship guidelines, you are

client negotiations unsupervised.

Perhaps we should wait for Anne. He prefers not to postpone this any longer.

Would you like me to speak to Weston?

He doesn't want another lawyer.

Douglas? Yes?

Alec Weston has previously consulted with Arnold and with Anne.

We don't want him searching elsewhere.

Leland, I'm confident I can handle this case.

All right, I'm giving you authority to proceed.

Many problems arise. You come to me immediately.

I can't just wait around here. I gotta go look for them.

Once again, examine the color.

Now roll your glass, releasing the aromatic components of the wine.

Sniff the bouquet.

And taste.

Remember, a small sip leaves room in the mouth. You want the wine to drench your

tongue. Notice the different sensations.

Roll the wine to the tip of your tongue for sweetness and back for bitterness.

And spit.

Objection. Juror number seven swallowed again.

Mr. Richards.

I believe we're through, Your Honor.

Bailiff, bust the glasses and cups.

Mr. Becker, call your next witness.

I ask that Greg Corcoran take the stand.

Objection. Defense has already had his cross to this witness.

New information has come to my attention, Your Honor. New information?

When? I'll allow it.

Relax, Richards. Have a drink.

Stuart, I'm tired. I gotta sit down.

You've been out here a long time.

I don't think we're gonna get a ride.

That last guy almost died.

Hey, Benny, look.

Hey, here, boy.

Hey, boy.

Here, boy.

Maybe he's a girl.

If you look underneath, you can tell.

Look how scared he is.

He's gonna get hit.

He's all alone, Benny.

We've got to take care of him.

How?

Mr.

Corcoran, you claim your brother's wine is inferior.

Yet during the tasting, you didn't take so much as a sip from your glass, did

you? No. Why not?

Objection. Overruled. I didn't need to.

Mr. Corcoran, have you ever tasted wine made by Sam?

No. Because you have so little regard for everything he does?

No, that isn't it.

then why is it you refuse to sip Sam's wine?

I remind you, Mr. Corcoran, you're still under oath.

I'm a recovering alcoholic, Mr. Becker. I haven't had a drink in three years.

Mr. Corcoran, how can you possibly question the quality of your brother's

if you've never even tasted it?

Objection. We have independent evidence that shows... Overruled.

I want the witness to answer.

I know what Sam is capable of. Aren't you bringing this lawsuit to punish Sam?

The little brother who couldn't possibly... Objection.

Hasn't he proven himself, Mr. Corcoran?

He's your brother, for God's sake.

Why don't you give him a break?

Your Honor.

Mr. Becker, that's enough.

I'm sorry.

I have no further questions.

Thank you for coming back on such a short notice.

I have discussed a revised settlement with my client, and we are prepared to

increase the buyout.

You're wasting our time. It's not about money. Mrs. Weston seeks to retain her

partnership. Well, Mr. Weston is unwilling to concede that. However, in

interest of avoiding protracted court proceedings, we're willing to go as high

as 5%. I guess we'll see you in court.

You should be aware that we're filing a petition for custody.

On what grounds?

My client has reason to believe that Mrs. Weston is an unfit mother.

Oh, my God.

Does the name Paul Corvallo mean anything to you? We have several letters

received from Mr. Corvallo which seem to suggest that you two are more than

friends. What's going on here?

You bastard.

Those letters were locked in my dresser. The boy was 19 years old, Elaine.

You're turning this into something sordid and dirty.

You slept with him. Paul loved me. He listened to me.

That isn't something you can understand, Alec. You don't love. You possess.

Accept his offer.

What's up?

I've changed my mind. I'm not going to fight to use the Corcoran name.

What? We just turned your brother's case inside out. After my dad died, Greg

stepped right into his shoes and he...

Treated me like a kid, but he was right because I was spoiled and selfish.

If this means so much to Greg, I am just pulling out. If you really want to make

it up to him, don't run away again.

Talk to him.

I don't know what to say to him.

We're just so different.

You're not that different.

You two complement one another.

And nothing exists or functions except in direct contrast with its own

opposite. Think of yourself as fire and water. In opposition, both may kill.

Yet in harmony, they bestow life.

A boiling cauldron over an open flame.

The two of you together, the possibilities are boundless.

How'd you go to law school?

Tibet?

Sam, some things you just hear in the whisper of the wind.

Glad I found you before I left. I wanted to thank you.

What, for helping you strong -arm your wife into a settlement?

For helping me keep my company intact. That's what I hired you to do, and you

did it very well.

Actually, I just followed your lead, Mr.

Weston. But you knew I would, right?

Oh, has your conscience bothered me? If you'll excuse me, I have a lot of work

to do. We won.

And you can't tell me the partners in the sperm aren't very pleased.

He stole your wife's letters. She could sue for invasion of privacy. Well, then

I guess it's a very good thing that you are going to be my new lawyer.

Hurry up and pass the bar, huh?

Any sign of him? Nothing.

Douglas is out searching, too. Maybe Douglas was right. This was probably too

soon for Stuart to come back to work. Ann?

Any news?

No. I can't file a missing persons report for 24 hours.

I've been to my house, Benny's house, up and down dozens of nearby streets.

Lincoln! Lincoln!

Stuart?

Hi, Ann.

Stuart, are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine, really.

Where have you been?

At the beach.

The beach? It was his idea.

It's the last stop on the bus line, and we would have taken the bus back except

the driver wouldn't let us bring Lincoln on. Hey, boy.

Hey, come on, boy.

We've got to ride in a truck.

You hitchhiking.

Am I in trouble again?

Hey. Hey, you and me.

Stuart. Yeah. Isn't he a great pup?

We named him Lincoln because he was trapped at the intersection between

and Colorado Boulevard.

Let's go home, Stuart. Colorado would have been a stupid name, huh?

Look at him go.

Somebody corral that mine. Somebody should find his owner, Stuart. Oh, no.

doesn't have one. No collar. I'm going to keep him. You can't, Stuart. Huh?

Because I said so. Anne, he's mine. No, Stuart. Anne, I saved him all by myself.

Stuart, please.

We'll talk about it when we get home. No, not without Lincoln. He'll be fine.

No! Stuart, we're going home now. I'm not going home! I'm not going home! I'm

not going home!

Douglas? What's the latest on Benny and Stuart? Both safe and sound. Great.

Roxanne, what happened here?

Stuart got upset about Lincoln and tossed the chair through the window.

Oh.

Abraham Lincoln.

We were having fun.

And then we came back, and it was scary.

I know.

Stuart was mad.

Stuart was mad at me.

No.

No, he was mad at himself.

Because he can't remember things.

Like your dad, Murray?

That's right.

Like Murray.

Only he had a disease called Alzheimer's. What?

Murray forgot it was Christmas?

Mm -hmm. He got upset about that.

Stuart's feeling confused, too.

Murray didn't get better.

Is Stuart going to get better?

Oh, I hope so, Benny.

Yeah.

Yeah, me too.

Night, Roxanne.

Night, Benny.

What's the matter?

Did you drop your beer?

Did you drop... Okay.

It's okay.

You wanted

to see me?

I received a call from Elaine Weston's attorney.

Is there a problem?

He feels that you and Alec Weston coerced his client into a settlement

dubious means. Leland, I did nothing unethical.

Well, there's a fine line between what is ethical and what is moral.

Gwen, if you had a problem, you should have come to me. I made a decision that

was in the best interest of my client, a client I was told to make happy because

we needed the business.

Now, hold on a minute, Glenn. If Arnold Becker had done the same thing, he'd be

applauded, but I'm second -guessed, reprimanded? You're damned right.

Someday you'll make a committed attorney, because you're passionate.

But while you're under apprenticeship here, you represent this firm.

In the future, when you come across situations where you're not 100 % sure

how to proceed, come to me.

I understand.

I'll see you in the morning.

Good night, Leland.

How'd you do in court?

Picked a winner.

You? Me too. Good. I think.

Mr. Weston, please. Gwen Taylor.

Mr. Weston, about these flowers you sent me... What?

I just assumed they were from you.

Sorry.

Goodbye.

Hi. You just delivered flowers to my office, Gwen Taylor at McKenzie

Mm -hmm.

The card was blank. Can you tell me who sent them?

No name.

Oh, how are they paid for?

Right.

Thanks.

You look tired. I am.

First day back, searching for Benny and Stuart.

I haven't fully recovered from my incarceration, which, by the way, has

my entire outlook.

Is that so?

Every moment was a challenge to keep my spirit unbroken in the face of

humiliation and despair.

Of course, until you've been in the inside, you can't understand.

What saw you through the darkest moment?

Soap and a rope.

I've been mulling over the idea of writing a book about my hellish

You think maybe we should paint the office?

Brighten the outlook around here.

Painters are expensive. They charge by the hour. I went looking for Benny and

Stuart because somehow I felt responsible that they ran off. Of

realize if you'd been my best man, none of this would have happened.

Boom.

I thought I smelled popcorn.

I thought everybody left that day. You mean you're not sharing?

Still

studying securities

law? I have an exam next week.

Non -accomplice mentis.

Funny.

I left something on your desk.

You did?

Mm -hmm.

Thanks. You're welcome.

It's just a back issue of the journal.

A what?

Law Journal article on 10b -5 disclosures.

You mean those flowers weren't from you?

No. Oh, God, I'm so embarrassed.

Don't be. No, I know. I shouldn't have.

Please.

You know what this is?

A case of wine?

Oh, not just any case.

Ambrosial Nectar Corcoran Estate Bottle Cabernet Sauvignon, 1958.

Neat. A gift from Sam and Greg Corcoran.

Congratulations. They settled out of court and decided to work together. And

know the best part?

After years of helping couples dissolve their relationships through divorce,

getting two people together feels wonderful.

A token of appreciation and celebration of the newly formed Corcoran Brothers

Winery. Make nice Christmas gifts. Are you kidding? This stuff costs $200 a

What's the matter?

I don't know.

Come on, Rox, talk to me.

Am I not a friend? First, last, foremost.

Actually, that's just it.

You're the most important person in my life. You're the most important person

my life.

There's something wrong with that.

All my closest friends are here in this firm. I have a failed marriage.

I have no parents, no brothers, no sisters.

Hey, I get lonely too.

You have a career that... It fills your life. It gives you purpose and

direction. I like my job, but it's not enough.

Do you want a raise? I can speak with Douglas.

Arnie, I want to have a baby.

Rox, I don't know.

I mean, I don't think so. Not with you?

Did you meet someone?

No, not yet.

But I'm ready.

I have space in my heart and in my home. All I need is somebody to fill that

space.

Roxanne, I think we need to open up one of these bottles of Cabernet and talk

things over.

I'm not going to change my mind.

I'm going to make a good mother.

Well, then this deserves a toast.

Jonathan. Hi.

I just thought Stuart might like a friend.

I had him washed and dipped, and I even bought him a leash.

This is Stuart's tie.

Ann.

These last few months, I've been pretzeling myself in knots, trying to

everyone and making excuses.

Truth is, I don't know who I am anymore.

But I do know that I was wrong.

And the last thing I want to do in the world is add to your pain.

I'm sorry.

Okay, I guess you can sleep in the corner. Come on.

Come on.

No!
