can't believe you're locking

me up in this hellhole for two months you got something i don't gilchase does

big fat envelope with the word starworks written right across it i assume That's

what you wanted. Alan Rush has our Starworks bid.

So, are we going to have to go higher or pull out? I spent 13 years with a man

who didn't care about anything but money and power.

I don't need to spend any more time with another.

I think you are the woman I've been looking for for a long time.

Okay, Alan, I will marry you.

What you're saying is you overpaid for Starworks.

I did spend more than I intended.

But taking the long view, Starworks is worth every penny we spent to acquire

However, we have taken on a rather substantial debt load, which means that

Global is now a very tempting target for sharks, and it wouldn't surprise me a

bit to find Alan Rush circling our boat.

Brock, I know there's no love lost between you and Rush, but don't you

you're being a little paranoid?

Well, let's hope so.

In the meantime, let's get prepared.

There's a number of subsidiary companies that no longer fit within the group.

These can be sold off to free up some cash. We can downsize. We can

We can even bring in a white knight if we have to. Surely it won't come to

If we don't panic, we can fight off any bid, which is exactly what I intend to

do.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's been a long morning.

Meeting's over.

Tell me, what is it I hear about your father putting you to work in the

mailroom? That's where he started.

Or so he says.

At the bottom.

He did.

Started working for my father right after he got out of the Navy.

Looked so handsome in his uniform.

Yeah, well, for some of us, the bottom was a hell of a lot lower than the

mailroom. I started working when I was eight years old.

Standing on a street corner freezing my butt off selling newspapers.

And not for pocket change, either. It was to help put food on the table.

I really started with nothing, not even a pair of socks without holes in them.

And now, I bet I got that brave sailor trembling in his big shine boots.

I certainly would be, sir.

Sir?

Well, I like that.

Yes, sir. Thanks.

Excuse me a minute, will you?

What?

Hey.

Who are those guys?

Members of your father's board of directors.

You know, I don't get it, Mother.

A couple of days ago, all you wanted in the world was to get back together with

Dad.

Now you're dating the guy whose chief aim in life is to plant a knife in his

back. Your father has made it perfectly clear that he and I have no future

together. Don't tell me you finally learned to take no for an answer.

I know when to cut my losses.

Yeah, I remember.

I also remember that when you decide to go, you just run right over anyone in

your way.

Even if they happen to be two little kids who love you.

I've done what I could for you, Tyler. You know that.

Unlike your father always favoring Jordan.

Yeah, well, she never gave him any trouble.

And she's been handsomely rewarded for it, too.

With 2 % of Brock Global stock on her 25th birthday.

What? That's right.

And you've got nothing.

Are you sure?

Positive. I found a record of the transaction in the company files.

But I can make it up to you.

I can, Tyler.

I promise.

Now, you mustn't breathe a word of this, but Alan is about to make a hostile bid

for Brock's company.

He's sure to succeed, and when he does... Now, you can help us, darling.

you do, you'll be out of that lousy mail room and running the whole damn show.

Hmm?

That last outburst, the way Carrie just fell apart... Frankly, Mrs.

Rush... I don't understand it.

She was doing so well. And she's been fine ever since.

Yes, certainly. Otherwise, I wouldn't consider releasing her, as it is. Dr.

Rose, the private psychiatrist that saw her found her perfectly competent.

And she's promised to continue therapy with him. And no criminal charges have

been filed against her.

You have no choice but to let her go.

Well, I have a few.

But let's just say I don't see the point in pursuing them right now.

Good.

Bring in Miss Fairchild, please. Yes, Dr. Rose.

You know, no matter what you think, I do only want what's best for your

daughter. I appreciate that, Doctor.

Hello, Mother.

I certainly hope you've been threatening to sue Dr. Rose's tale from here to the

Supreme Court. That won't be necessary.

What? You don't believe I'm a threat to myself or others?

You'd have to have your tongue surgically removed before I believe

That's a lethal weapon.

I could get to like you.

You're not going to have the chance. You're out of here.

And I don't want you back, young lady.

You work hard with your psychiatrist, and you get Mark Merrill out of your

and out of your life.

Believe me, Dr. Rose, I intend to.

Your job is to solve legal problems, not create more.

Well, you find a way to do what I want. Otherwise, I'm going to wind up without

a company, and you're going to wind up without a very lucrative client.

Come on in, Gil.

Here's the list you asked for. Names, addresses, phone numbers of all major

shareholders and members of the board.

Well, Lincoln Bradmore and I go back a long way. I think I can count on him.

But Harry Dyson, Miranda Zane...

Oh, man, I'm gonna have a hell of a lot of phone to do over the next few days. A

lot of whining and dining.

Damn it. With Mrs. Brock holding 25 % of your shares.

Yeah, I've got my lawyer working on a way to deal with that right now.

Meantime, I've got my 30 % and Jordan's 2%. So now all I have to round up is

another 19 % to get the majority vote I need.

While keeping Alan Rush or some other barracuda from doing the same damn

We're in a meeting, Tyler.

Yeah, well.

I've got some news I think you'll want to hear.

I just had lunch with Mother.

She told me that Alan Rush is planning to launch a hostile takeover of the

company.

Why don't you tell us something we don't already know?

You know, if I sat in on the power meetings, maybe I'd be an even bigger

-ass than you.

But in the meantime, I just do what I can to help. All right, look, we got a

battle looming, and I think it's important for us to remember that we're

the same side.

Glad to have you on the team, son.

Yeah.

Father, go back to work.

What are you doing in Gil's office?

I just had to do some calculations.

Personal stuff.

And the mail room doesn't come equipped with a computer.

Not here. Anyone can see.

I know.

to see how she was doing, they said that Carrie had already been released.

So soon?

Soon? To Carrie, it must have seemed like she was in that place for years.

You think I don't feel sorry for her? I do. That's why I didn't press assault

charges. Now, but you saw what she's like, how crazy she can get.

What if she decides you're what's standing between her and me?

Who knows what she'd do then?

It's you who I'm worried about, Jordan.

Carrie doesn't like me any more than I like her.

But I really don't think she'd do anything to hurt me.

I'll get it.

Who is it?

Gordon.

Daddy. What a surprise.

Hi, sweetheart.

I was... Brock.

It's good to see you. Come on in.

Wow. I should have known you'd be busy. I'll just go. We can talk another time.

Not on your life. Come on. Day for dinner.

Pasta primavera.

Well, if you're sure it won't be an imposition.

Oh, we love having you. Come on, sit down.

Let me make you a drink.

Here you go.

Sweetheart, you sure about this guy?

I've been there cooking dinner, Dad.

Admit it. He's beyond good.

He may even be perfect.

It's amazing how love can smooth out all the rough edges, isn't it?

You ought to know.

Dad, what's happened?

Did you and Linda have a fight?

She, uh... She walked out.

Why? Oh, she's got some nutty idea that I'm still interested in your mother.

You sure it is a nutty idea? Oh, come on, not you too.

Just checking.

I mean, you've been spending a lot of time talking about her. Only because

in cahoots with Alan Rush.

Plotting to take over my company.

You know whose side I'm on. Yes, I most certainly do.

Come that stockholders' meeting, I expect to see you there voting your 2 %

way.

If I do anything else.

I was watching Business Line in the kitchen, and this came on.

In a press release issued just minutes ago, Alan Rush disclosed his intention

acquire Brock Global Communications.

The move was described as a hostile bid.

No surprise since leaked copies of the Rush divorce settlement revealed that

Adam Brock, CEO of Brock Global, was named as co -respondent.

Stockholders, generally wary of any bad publicity, were already nervous about

the effect the recent Starworks takeover might have on the company.

negatively to the story, sending Adam Brock's personal and corporate dock

plummeting. That was a stroke of genius, leaking that divorce settlement.

Getting Linda to sign it, that was the hard part.

Now, about the wedding.

What, what wedding?

Ours. You did ask me to marry you, remember?

Of course I remember. What's the big hurry?

Oh, no, darling.

I'm not that easily manipulated.

What are you talking about?

Well, just the possibility that you might decide after you get your hands on

Brock's company not to marry me after all.

Come on, I'd never do anything like that. So why don't we say I do before

make your bid?

That way I'll be sure of you and you'll be sure of my 25%. After all, it's so

important to have trust in a marriage.

Oh, my God.

Listen to this. Linda Fairchild Rush sure doesn't come cheap.

Our uptown spy reports that when she needed two million to bail out her

killer son, now a fugitive from justice, Linda bartered herself to tycoon Adam

Brock for that very sum, cutting herself a one -night -only deal.

That's absolutely outrageous.

Reached at her apartment one floor below, ex -wife Diana Brock had no

The hell she didn't.

Where are you going?

Get to the bottom of this.

I'm aware that some of you have been approached by Alan Rush.

We could hardly refuse to talk to the man.

Not asking you to.

I would like for you to consider his M .O. and staging a takeover.

Leaking stories to the press about his own divorce.

Depressing the value of Brock Global stock. Real backdoor stuff.

But that's just the way this man is, and it's the way he'd run this place.

I'll tell you something.

I've worked too hard. We all have.

Have this hog treating the place like his own personal mud hole.

Brock, pardon me. May I speak to you for a few minutes?

Oh, excuse me for a minute.

Oh, this is a surprise.

So is this.

Wonder you don't think I had anything to do with this, do you?

Imagine Diana feeding this rubbish to the globe, saying I'm for sale when

do anything for a buck.

And you know what really burns me the most?

That she actually made me believe all her lies.

That you didn't love me, and that you were just after my Rush Media stock.

Darling, you know that was never true, don't you?

I do now.

I love you, Brock.

And I'm never going to let anybody get between us again.

Now, not ever.

Roxanne, will you copy those for me, please? Yes, Miss Tate.

Mother, what are you doing here?

Oh, I know I should have called first, darling. But do you have a moment? It's

important.

So, this is where you work.

Well... I must say, it has potential. Once my decorator's finished with it,

won't even recognize it.

You said it was important?

Yes. What are you doing tomorrow night?

You came here to ask me that? I came here to invite you to my wedding.

Wait a minute.

You're getting married?

Well, it's just a small ceremony with you and Tyler as witnesses. I know it's

sudden, but, well... Well, then you won't mind my asking to whom?

You act as though there's more than one man in my life.

I'm getting married to Alan Rush.

Alan Rush.

I didn't even know you were dating.

Well, we've never flaunted our romance, unlike your father and Linda.

But the feelings are very deep.

So are his pockets, I assume.

Darling. Is that fair?

You're right.

Maybe it is for the best.

Of course I'll be there.

Congratulations.

Oh, thank you, darling.

I hope we'll all be happy, even your father, despite what I found out he did

Tyler. Well, last I heard, they were getting along.

Well, that's only because he doesn't know, and I didn't have the heart to

him.

It seems that on your 25th birthday, your father gave you 2 % of Brock

stock. Well, he didn't do the same for Tyler. In fact, he didn't do anything.

He will. I mean, at the time, they weren't even talking.

At least he could put 2 % in trust.

Obviously, you've got some sort of game plan, and I don't even want to know what

it is.

I'll be a witness at your wedding, but I won't be a party to one of your plots.

Now, Jordan, you don't understand. Goodbye, Mother.

Well? I'll say this much for my daughter. She's nobody's fool.

Between you and Brock, she had a 50 -50 chance.

So, what about her stock?

Don't worry, I'm working on it. I'm launching a takeover of Brock Global

Communications that needs a 51 % majority to fly, so your kid's 2 % may

piddly, but trust me, in a close call, that's what swing boats are made of.

Relax.

I know how to push Jordan's buttons. After all, I'm the one who installed

Come on, let's go!

Yes, sir.

He shoots.

He scores.

Looks like my aim's getting better.

It should. You've got all that time to practice.

Yeah, well, not for long.

I learn something new every day. You know, you and Rachel have really taught

so much.

You're welcome.

As for Rachel, I didn't know you were into fashion.

I didn't say that's what I was into.

Gil, I've got Jeremy Rice from Hastings Webster. He said it's urgent. It's about

your broad global stock.

All right, put him through.

Shut the door on your way out.

Okay, Jer, where's the fire?

Just tell me, what did I ever do to make you go and set me up?

Excuse me?

Look, you emailed me to buy you Brock Global stock just hours before a

attempt.

Coincidence? Yeah, I don't think so, and neither will the SEC.

What the hell are you talking about?

Look, I can see why you're covering your ass, Gil. The question is, what am I

going to do about mine?

Jer, I swear I don't know a thing about this, except that someone's trying to

take us both down.

thing blows over believe me i'll be doing the same

securities

exchange commission yeah hi um i work at hastings webster and my boss

just got a call from a guy who used to work here and then moved over to brock

global communications now his name's gil chase

And he's tipping us to buy up their stock.

I don't know what's going on here, but it sure smells like insider trading to

me. Hold, please. I'll put you through to an attorney in our division of

enforcement. Terrific.

Thank you very much.

To you, darling.

For changing my life.

Well, I actually think that works both ways.

I'm afraid I lost my appetite.

Shall we go? No.

You leave now, she wins.

Besides, we got the better table, and if I know Diana, that's a defeat right

there.

What a coincidence.

Seven million people in this city, and somehow we just keep running into each

other. Somehow.

And no sooner do we arrive than Alan's working the phone. Well, poor darling.

He's been so busy lately, working on his new takeover deal.

Oh, I suppose it is important, but then so is our wedding.

And since neither one of us want to wait... You're marrying Alan?

Not even you would stoop that low. Why not?

You did?

Well, of course, the difference between us is that I'm not stupid enough to

sleep with him.

But then your last performance in that department really wasn't much, was it?

Otherwise, why would you have to resort to Brock to bail your son out of jail?

Diana, I'm warning you.

Oh, by the way, where is the little wife killer these days?

Not a clue.

Well, I'm not surprised. You know what Freud always said?

hatred of women starts with another.

In my case, it starts with you.

Why, you!

you step out of those wet clothes and into a dry martini.

Listen, if you and Linda Rush are willing to duke it out on a regular

could probably get you booked as an act.

Would you work in mud?

Well, I am glad to see you're getting so much amusement at my expense.

Oh, come on, Mother.

Can't you take a joke?

You know, I'm beginning to think I was wrong about you.

Perhaps. It requires somebody with a bit more tact and common sense to head up

Brock Global.

Let us see now.

Oh, yes, well, of course, there's Gil Chase.

That's not funny.

What's the matter, darling? Can't you take a joke?

Let us not forget who's buttering your bread.

Let's not forget who's buttering yours.

Ah, yes.

All right, you're learning.

You do what you have to to get what you want in this world.

So tonight, when I marry Alan...

I want you to show the proper respect and enthusiasm.

You show up on time, dress well, and look very happy to be there.

Oh, and one more thing.

We're going to need the voting rights to your sister's stock.

How am I supposed to get that?

Please, Tyler. Do I have to be the one to think of everything?

Did you miss me?

Don't worry. I'm still here.

I thought you should know that I'm not.

Congratulations, Mark. You've done the one thing I thought no one could ever

Drive me out of New York.

Hope it doesn't spoil your book.

You'll be back. I can wait.

And what will you do in the meantime?

Knit? You bitch. You think I can't find you?

I don't know. Can you?

Operator, this is an emergency.

The phone call I just received, I need to know where it was coming from.

I'm sorry, we can't give out that information.

Well, was it local or out of state? At least tell me that much. This is a

of life and death!

Excuse me, Mr. Brock. The chairman of the SEC is on the phone. He asked to

to you right away.

Thank you.

It'll be a break for us.

They're stopping this thing before it even gets started.

This is Adam Brock.

Yes, sir.

Gilchase?

Yes, he works for me.

No.

No, I can't be.

There's got to be some sort of mistake.

Yes, sir. I will look into it.

You're absolutely right. That is the last thing I need right now.

I can explain.

Then let's hear it.

Someone used my name to tip the brokers at my old house.

So you knew about this?

Yeah. And I should have said something, but I figured like you did, it had to be

some kind of a mix -up.

Now, the way I hear it is that the heaviest trading was done in your

Oh, come on, Brock. You know I'd never do a thing like that. I know that greed

is a disease they're never going to find a cure for.

Well, you're a smart fellow.

Got a good head on your shoulders.

I'm sure you'll land on your feet.

Brock, how could you believe this?

You know me?

Gil. I'll let you knock next time.

You lowlife dummy. Oh my God, are you okay?

And you're sleeping with him.

What was your first clue?

Look, I'm sorry you had to find out this way.

Yeah, I get the picture.

The son of a corporate tycoon.

I bet you put up a real struggle.

Oh, just so you know, he doesn't give a damn about you. He just wanted to get to

me.

Fine, Gil. I mean, if that's what you need to believe. Don't you get it?

I was in the way.

He managed to get me fired just now.

Made it look like I was doing insider trading. I don't know what you're

about.

Stop it!

Stop it!

Leave him alone.

Fine.

He's all yours.

But if I were you, I wouldn't turn my back on him.

It should only be for a day or two.

Mark, a biopsy?

Sounds serious.

The doctor said it's just a precaution. They're 99 % sure it's nothing, but it's

just... I know how much my mother hates hospitals.

You have to be there.

I miss you, though.

You know, a couple more minutes of this and I'm going to miss my plane.

Okay.

No. You're going to be with your mother. You're not going to work.

You're right. It's just a... It's a force of habit.

Call me. Let me know how she is. You got it.

Bye. Bye.

Hey, Donna. How you doing?

His mother's in the hospital.

He's flying to Seattle tonight.

Uh -huh. And does he live here now?

has become of my demure and respectable sister.

What about my wild, irresponsible brother?

Look at you and your tux, working for Daddy.

Something I never thought I'd see in my lifetime.

Yeah, well, one thing I've learned, being a black sheep definitely has its

drawbacks. You know, you don't have a home or a family.

You tell yourself that's the way you want it, but it's not really true.

And you miss out on a lot.

Mike, I found out the other day that Dad gave you stock in his company.

It's no big deal.

More symbolic than anything else.

It's worth a ton of money.

Only if I sell it, which I never would.

Yeah. And the truth is, I would have.

A long time ago.

So it's probably better that he didn't give it to me, since he's going to need

every vote he can get his hands on to fight off that takeover attempt from

Rush.

I can't believe I have to be in the same room with that man tonight.

Don't worry.

Dad isn't.

Oh, but he wanted me to get you to sign this proxy voting your shares.

Why?

I told him I'm going to be at the meeting tomorrow.

You know Dad.

Doesn't like to take any chances.

He's got all the board members signing them, too. So he can just walk in, drop

his 51 % on the table, and walk out.

Very high noon.

Always my favorite movie.

Shouldn't I read this first?

Sure. Go ahead.

It's just that Mom's getting married in 15 minutes.

All right, all right.

Don't lose it.

Not a chance.

You both come here of your own free will, with the full knowledge that a vow

this kind is not to be entered into lightly, that there must be care,

commitment, and most of all... Money.

Love. So if anyone here knows any reason why this man and this woman should not

be lawfully joined, let them speak now, or forever hold their peace.

Dad!

Forget it, Brock. You're too late.

Technically, he isn't.

Oh, Brock.

I knew you'd never let me marry him. I knew you'd come back.

Oh, no, Diane. I wouldn't dream of breaking up you two lovebirds.

I just wanted to be the first one to give you a wedding present.

Oh, how thoughtful.

And look, you wrapped it yourself.

Well, perhaps this can wait.

No!

A restraining order?

Come here. Let me see that.

He's suing you for fraud in the Star Wars deal, and he's got the court to

your assets.

What? Your stock.

You can't sell it, trade it, transfer it, and best of all, you can't vote it.

Right now, all it's good for is making paper airplanes.

You're not the only one with a lawyer, you know. Give me your phone. Just a

minute. We have a wedding to finish.

You think I can be taken in by this little ploy of yours? I know exactly how

feel about this wedding, and there's only one thing in this world you can do

stop it from happening.

I'd sooner die.

You're gonna wish you had. Mother, you can't marry someone just to get back at

Dad. Oh, you are so young.

Now, where were we? I'm not sure.

Do you, Alan, take this woman, blah, blah, blah? Yeah, yeah, come on, let's

this over with, hurry. And do you, Diana? Absolutely.

Well, then, I now pronounce you man and wife.

Choke on that.

Time to find out how the story ends.

Oh, Your Honor, this restraining order is a complete miscarriage of justice.

I'm just as entitled to my vote and my stock as Brock is to his.

Objection, Your Honor.

Sustained. He's nothing but a frightened bully. You cannot allow him to get away

with this. Mrs. Rush, you will please refrain from any further outbursts. You

know I might, darling.

No further questions, Your Honor. Mrs. Rush is packed, and decorums speak for

themselves. You may sit down, Mrs. Rush. Thank you, Your Honor.

The circumstances would seem to argue in favor of a restraining order against

Mrs. Rush from voting, selling, or otherwise disseminating her stock,

in light of her relationship with Mr. Rush and the obvious possibility for

collusion.

However, since...

Brock Global Communications was founded by Mrs. Rush's father, the court finds

her interest in the company highly intrinsic and invaluable and would

be completely remiss in depriving her of her voting rights.

I therefore rule that the restraining order prohibiting Mrs. Rush from voting

her shares of Brock Global Communications be lifted at once.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Well, I'll see you at the shareholders' meeting.

Alan, I'm looking at the only piece of my company you're ever going to get your

hands on.

And based on my personal experience, you paid too much.

Sore loser.

You don't have any Merrill registered at all?

You're sure?

I am positive he said she was registered at this hospital. No,

I'm not a relative.

OK, thank you.

Jillian Braylor, insane with fear, now realizes that her only salvation lies

within.

Her sanity questioned at every turn, she takes sanctuary at her family retreat

in East Hampton.

What began as a girlish game of seduction has turned into a nightmarish

death, one from which she realizes she may never emerge.

And so, Jillian Braylor, half -mad with fear, runs away to her country house to

set a trap for her former lover, using herself as the bait.

I like that, Carrie. That's very clever.

But then you always were a very clever girl.

But not half as clever as I am.

You see, in the final chapter of my book, the hero robbed of everything he

loved, his wife, his job, his life.

Besides that, under the circumstances, revenge is an entirely justifiable act.

So why expand into new markets while there's still so much money to be made

here? And by selling off many of Brock Global Communications' ancillary

holdings, I'll be able to create a debt -free environment for profit.

And as shareholders, it is my belief that you deserve to make money.

Now! Not five years from now, not ten years from now, but now!

appealing to.

Instant gratification.

Man, when are people going to wake up and realize there's no such thing as a

free lunch?

I have, Dad.

These past few weeks have been pretty illuminating for me.

Profound, almost.

No, seriously, I mean, the hard work, the humility, I think it's really done

good.

Son, I believe you just talked yourself out of the mail room.

Keep that up, hard work, learning the business.

A few more years, you're going to make a fine young executive.

A few years, huh?

Oh, they fly by like the wind, trust me.

Wish me luck.

Good luck, Dad.

You're going to need it.

Well, that was a hell of a speech.

The fellow should have been a politician.

Alan Rush is promising you instant gratification.

Not five years from now, not ten years from now, but right now.

Here, come here.

Here, take a hike for about ten, fifteen minutes. Yes, sir. Now.

Harry.

Something tells me I still don't have your support.

Well, Alan, I've been sitting on Brock's board for...

Very long time now. And now you'll be sitting on Alan's board, which will be

much more lucrative, I can assure you.

To the tune of $500 ,000 for starters. You like that, huh?

Well, that's very generous, but let me voice one of my primary concerns.

I hear a very unsettling rumor that once the takeover is completed, you're going

to put Brock's boy in a pretty powerful position.

I'd never do anything that stupid.

The kid is a bum.

No offense, darling.

Please, Harry.

Like all spoiled children, Tyler sometimes, well, he wants to bite off a

bit more than he can chew.

But there's no reason to worry.

I can handle my son.

Well, I'm glad to hear that. Alan, get out your checkbook.

You've got my full support.

...has always been and continues to be the bedrock of this company.

From my father -in -law to myself, we have thrived on a continuity of

and your support.

Today, I would like... I'd like to introduce you to my son, Tyler, who just

started with us here in New York. Tyler, where? There he is, right there.

Alan Rush wants to fillet this company.

And believe me, he's going to keep all that nice tinder meat for himself.

He's going to leave the table scraps to you.

I trust that after 20 successful years together, you're just not going to let

that happen.

Thank you.

I just realized something very important that's missing.

Dialogue.

What do you have to say for yourself, Jillian?

What do you want from me?

Maybe all I really want is for you to say you're sorry.

I'm sorry.

For what?

For seducing you, for toying with you, for destroying your marriage. I'm sorry.

It feels so good just hearing you say that.

But it's too late.

You know, I think when Jillian decides to kill herself, I think she'd have some

fun with it and turn it into a game of Russian roulette, huh?

What do you say, Jillian? Want to play?

You've gone too far. No, you have gone too far with the wrong guy.

hell is Jordan? Come on. I'm tired of waiting. The vote is in. No, not yet. It

isn't. Brock, I'm sorry. We can't hold out any longer.

Ladies and gentlemen, after counting the votes, the results were as follows.

Mr. Rush has received 49 % against Brock's 49%. No,

it's not.

I've got Jordan's proxy.

Wonderful.

Darling, it's time to catch your vote.

Son, what's going on here?

Looks like it all comes down to me.

For once.

Congratulations, Brock.

What? What took you so long? Nearly gave me heart failure.

Stabbed in the back by my own son?

How could you do this to me, Tyler? As usual, Mother.

You left me no choice.

It's over.

Trust me, Ken.

You're going to live to regret this.

Do you have any idea how much money I wasted?

Not to mention the public humiliation.

You know what I feel like?

A laughingstock. Stop whining, Alan.

I mean, Brock may have won this battle, but he hasn't won the war.

I don't roll over that easily.

I didn't think you did either.

Oh, well, I guess it depends on who's doing the rolling.

Oh, this is hardly the time. It's exactly the time. Come on.

I need some cheering up.

Back off, Tiger. I think I can handle things from here.

Oh, my God.

Oh,

God.

What's wrong?

Alan. Alan.

What time is it?

Hello.

Frog, it's Diana.

Oh, what do you want?

I'm sorry to wake you, darling, but I didn't know who else to call.

It appears that Alan Rush, well, he's just had a major heart attack.

And the prognosis...

It's not good. What?

Before you start dancing on his grave, let me remind you that I'm due to

everything.

Well, let's look at the bright side.

I've always looked fabulous in black.

What is it?

Well, hon, I've got some good news and I've got some bad news.
