Thank you.

it's not frozen in time

All your fears should disappear.

You'll never be lonely.

Hello, Nancy.

Hello, Drake.

What did I do to deserve this?

Oh, it's just a little incentive.

I like it.

It's an incentive for you to stay.

You know, I was planning on sticking around for a few hours.

I had something longer in mind.

Like forever.

I can't make any promises.

That doesn't mean we can't still play.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yeah.

You like that?

Yeah?

Thank you.

So, I cleared out some closet space.

I had an extra key made for you.

I never said I was staying.

I know you didn't, but you need a place to stay.

And I don't see why you can't just move in here with me.

Because I've got things to do.

We can do them together.

Just give it a try until you find a place of your own.

I can't. I have a house-sitting gig lined up for tomorrow.

Whose house is it?

I don't know. Some lady named Carrie. She runs some new-agey clinic thing.

Will you be back?

It's hard to say.

Ah, depending upon how cute she is, right?

I bet she's nasty.

She's gonna scare me.

She's gonna have a bunch of cats and hairy armpits.

I want you to go back to the first moment that he touched you, as if it

were happening right now.

What are you feeling?

I feel alive.

I feel his desire running through every pore in my body.

All of his attention is on me, and I like it.

So I let him kiss me.

Go on.

We're in the conference room.

The fact that he's willing to risk everything because he wants me that

much.

As we kiss, he immediately runs his hand up under my skirt, over

my panties.

I'm already wet.

And he can feel it.

You've been waiting

so patiently

Come and give me some

Give me some of your lovin', baby Show me the way Come get

you some of my lovin', baby Anytime, night or day Come and

give me some of your lovin', baby I'll be here waiting for you Come and

get you some of my lovin', baby All my love's for you

Do you understand how I feel?

I'm sorry.

What were you saying?

Do you understand how I feel? I mean, it worries me that I can just give myself

like that to an almost complete stranger.

Especially when I love my boyfriend Nick so much.

So you've never been unfaithful then?

Not until a few weeks ago.

What changed?

I don't know.

I was hoping you could help me figure that out.

Well, it's gonna take more than one visit to figure that out Next time we'll

take a look at your relationship with Nick see if maybe the problem lies

there. I think it does Well, should I come back tomorrow?

I'm going away for a couple of days. So I'll schedule you for a week from

Tuesday. How's that?

Well, what am I supposed to do in the meantime?

Well, I'm gonna have a substitute filling in for me while I'm gone Aaron

Very capable.

So if you feel like you need to talk if you feel like you have an emergency Go

ahead and call, okay?

Okay.

Oh, Drake.

Up at noon again, I see.

Come in, why don't you?

Nice.

You seem to be settling in good.

Where's Valerie?

Not here.

You know what? She's never here.

I'm beginning to wonder if she actually exists.

You'll meet her someday.

She's just working all the time.

Oh, is that what they call it when they leave?

They just work?

That's what they told me.

Hey, so what did your agent say about that script anyway?

He said that it had no storyline, no character development, no emotional

depth.

Nice. Yeah, yeah.

So when are you going to write that big starring role for me then, huh?

When are you going to become a big enough actor to get one of my scripts

made? Did you just come here to make me feel good about myself?

Yeah.

No, I just need a place to crash for the night.

Nets, he kicked you out already?

No, she didn't. No, it's actually just the opposite.

She wanted me to move in.

Permanently.

Uh-oh.

Uh-huh.

Wasn't good.

So you're homeless again, huh?

It's just for tonight.

I actually have a house-sitting gig starting tomorrow.

Nice place?

I don't know.

Yeah, what about you? How's this going with this Valerie girl? Looks like it's

getting a little serious.

I don't know, man. She's acting all weird.

Something's wrong with them. They got it.

Yeah, but this is beyond the no more irrational behavior.

I mean, she's acting like I did something wrong, and she won't even tell

me what it is.

Did you apologize?

I didn't do anything.

Sure you did.

Look, the only thing women like more than a good compliment is a good

apology. Just tell her that you're sorry for whatever you did, and you'll never

do it again.

Crazy, man. I didn't do anything.

Look, I'm gonna make some coffee.

Hey, and if this Valerie girl ever shows up, maybe I can get her to tell me

whatever you did wrong.

I didn't do anything.

Yin Yang retreat for women cleanse the soul and the body will strengthen.

Yeah, right

I'm

Drake From the house-sitting agency Yeah, something wrong Well,

I just I had specified someone more mature Well, you might as well come in

You must be Mrs. Tooney?

Ms.

Oh, really?

Well, I'm in a bit of a hurry, so we might as well make this brief.

I'm interviewing two more candidates for the job this afternoon.

Well, you might as well just cancel those appointments.

Why is that?

Because I am the man you're looking for.

I've typed up a set of instructions that you are welcome to review.

Wow, you've got a great, you have a very nice place here.

Thank you.

What is this yin and yang?

It's a women's retreat which promotes emotional well-being.

So you're a therapist?

I'm not a licensed therapist, no. I'm a lay practitioner.

Lay practitioner.

I like the sound of that.

Perhaps you've read my column in The Globe.

Not unless it's in the sports section.

I'm sure it's fascinating, though.

Anyway, so how long have you been with the agency?

Um, like two years.

Do you only handle women here, or do you handle men, too?

Why do you ask, Mr... Brown.

Mr. Brown.

Do you need something handled?

Excuse me.

Hello?

What?

No, that can't be right.

No, it's supposed to... Okay, never mind.

No, I'll just, I'll catch an earlier flight.

No, it's fine.

It's fine, thank you. Goodbye.

Is there trouble?

Looks like I have no choice but to give you the job.

I have to leave for New York immediately, so looks like, since you're

here now, that you'll have to do.

Come with me.

I need you to fax this to the Globe first thing on Monday, okay?

It's going to be in this drawer, and the number is on the speed dialer.

What is that?

It's my article for this week's column.

Please.

Okay, uh, the instructions.

Okay? I'm gonna show you around the house now, and then I have to be going.

All right.

The alarm system is here by the door and the security code is on the instructions

here next to emergency phone numbers.

I have my replacement, Erin, coming tomorrow. So if you could confine

yourself to the guest quarters while she's with my clients, that would be

helpful. Can you think of anything else that you need?

That depends.

Is there anything else that you'd like to give me?

Just, um...

Make sure you take care of my things, Mr. Brown.

All right. Well, take care of all of your things.

Have a good time.

Very carefully.

Bye.

Hmm.

Nice.

Oh, this is gonna be...

Hey, babe.

You know, Nick, I don't mind you staying here, but I do mind you making this

place look like a dorm room.

I just got my two-sheet back in my head shop.

And I can't decide which one I want.

What do you think?

The one where I'm smiling?

Or the one where I look like James Bond?

Either one.

Come on, help me decide.

Just pick one. What difference does it make?

I just don't feel like looking at your headshots for the 10,000th time.

I mean, maybe instead of getting new pictures, you should think about getting

a job.

I have to go through this again.

I just... I would actually like to know when you're going to do something with

your life.

I had four auditions yesterday.

I got a rehearsal for acting class tomorrow, and I have a showcase in a

month. I don't know what more I can do, except get a job and be miserable like

you. I like my job.

No, you don't. All you do is complain about it. No, I don't. I complain about

how much work they're giving me.

You don't listen. That's the problem.

You just come home to rag on me? Because you know what? I was in a pretty good

mood before you got here.

I'm sorry.

I'm just under a lot of stress right now.

Come here.

I like the one where you look like James Bond.

Really? Yeah.

You don't think it's too serious?

No, it makes you look really sexy.

But you're a lot sexier in person.

Keep going.

And...

Through the mist, a heavenly

sound.

Nobody wake me.

She's all...

Where are you going?

I'll make myself a sandwich.

I am starving.

Well, don't you want to lay here for a while?

And do what?

Uh, I don't know, talk?

Sure, just talk louder. I'll be able to hear you from here.

All right, come on. Come on.

Come on.

Smell it.

These guys like to play good up-tempo basketball.

They really don't get enough credit.

Take it to the hoop. Go, go.

Two,

two. Yes.

Hello, Carrie.

How are you doing?

You know you're not a bad-looking woman.

You wouldn't mind if I looked in your drawers, would you?

Hmm.

Write your personal ad in the space provided below.

Professional woman.

Attractive.

Organized. Seeks clean, successful, civilized man.

Looking for a little love, are we, Carrie?

Hi. Let's see what else I can find.

Oh, the article.

Okay.

What a man wants.

May surprise you readers to learn that the short answer to this age-old

question is a man wants the same thing a woman wants.

Commitment, romance, long talks, and snuggling.

I don't know about that.

Oh, shit. Oh, damn.

I'll just print it back up. Where's the computer?

Carrie, Carrie, Carrie, you don't have a computer.

Okay.

Oh, shit.

A typewriter? You got a typewriter? That's the only thing you got? It's not

even electric.

I'm a writer.

I can do this. I'll just write something.

I'll write something.

No computer.

All right.

All right.

Here we go.

What a man wants.

Valerie,

I got your message.

You need some help going over those figures?

Uh, yeah, there were a couple of things that just needed some attention.

I'm willing to let you know I won't be able to come in for you this week. I've

got a family emergency.

I hope this won't cause you too much inconvenience.

She's not here, people.

You've reached Yin and Yang. Please leave a message after the tone.

Carrie, it's Valerie.

I did it again. I really need to see you today.

I just can't keep going on like this.

I have missed my calling.

So the chick that owns this place, she, uh, pretty cute?

She's all right.

It's kind of uptight kind of way. She's got a nice ass.

If she could ever get that stick she's got lodged in it, though.

Anyway, speaking of which, how are things going with Valerie?

I don't know.

You know, I mean, sometimes I think it's just way too different.

She's all wrapped up in her corporate world and just trying to make a living

as an actor.

Well, isn't that the same thing that brought you all together?

Yeah, but she doesn't understand why I don't want a day job, you know? I mean,

I have to keep my days free for auditions, and she just thinks I'm

making excuses.

You know, it sounds like y'all are putting a lot of stress on each other

that you don't need. You need to support each other.

Maybe if you could figure out what she goes through at work, she might be able

to understand how tough it is being an actor.

Listen to you.

One day at this house and you're already sounding like a therapist.

I'm sorry.

No, that's actually pretty good advice.

Yeah? Yeah.

Seriously?

Who's that?

I have no idea.

Thanks for the advice, Doc.

Yeah. All right.

Hi. Can I help you? Yeah, I'm here to see Carrie.

She's not here.

You must be Erin, her substitute.

I thought you were a woman.

Nope. I'm a man.

Anyway, I really need a session.

Session? A massage therapy session.

Massage therapy?

Yeah. Carrie said you were really good at helping a woman release her emotional

blocks through pure physical pleasure.

Well, I've been told that... Hey, no, I'm not the one... Do you have time to

give me a full body massage?

Uh,

I could fit that in.

Great. I'll go get ready.

Okay.

Okay So what we're gonna do today is I'm going to massage your body

And then as soon as your muscles are relaxed, I want you to tell me what's

bothering you You mean out loud Sure

Here's the deal.

My whole life I've saved myself for the man I want to marry.

Saved yourself, what is that?

No.

I'm a virgin.

Really?

I always thought it was the right thing to do, but now that I've found the man I

want to be with...

I'm not so sure.

Why not?

When the time finally comes, I don't want to disappoint him by being,

you know, inexperienced.

So what should I do, Aaron?

Is it wrong to have these feelings?

No, no, you know, it's not wrong to have any feelings. It's it's what you do with

them Well I'm thinking I should

just Find a man someone I have no emotional connection

with Have sex and get over my anxiety I

You know, I think that's a decision that you need to make on your own

Okay. Fine.

Will you make love to me, Doctor?

I'm not a doctor.

But you are a man.

Actually, I don't think this would be fair to your fiancé, though.

I want you to show me how to please a man.

Please.

Are you okay?

Yes, don't stop.

I'm so good.

Am I doing this okay?

Just like that. Just rock your hips.

So good.

Incredible.

Yeah, oh

I know my marriage will be better because of you.

How can I ever thank you?

Oh, no. Trust me. It was my pleasure.

Well, there you go.

Standard for you, right?

I can't take that.

You've helped me more than Carrie ever has.

You deserve it.

Please.

I'm gonna go to hell for this.

I'm definitely gonna go to hell.

Bye.

They're charging money for sex.

That's like prostitutions.

It wasn't like that, man.

She needed some advice, so I gave her some.

Yeah, like prostituting yourself.

It was therapy.

Therapy or not, you know how much trouble you can get for impersonating a

doctor?

You know what? I never said I was a doctor. In fact, I made it very clear

that I wasn't a doctor.

All right? It was a one-time deal. It's not going to happen anymore.

You might want to check out the next client before you say that.

Jeez.

Anyway, how'd the audition go?

Good, actually. I got a call back next week.

I might actually get this one.

All right, we'll break a leg or whatever.

You ever figure out how to fix things with Valerie?

Nah, I haven't seen her.

She's been all wrapped up with work.

Actually, I think she's getting home. I got to get out of here.

All right. You coming back?

Yeah, I've been actually busy having sex.

It was there, man.

Yeah, whatever.

Hi, hello. Hello. Is Carrie here? No, no, she's not. I'm sorry. She's out of

town. Oh, that's right. You must be Aaron.

I did it again.

I cheated on my boyfriend.

I just couldn't stop myself.

Um, it's okay.

It's, uh, you know what? I'm sure that you didn't mean to.

I just need to talk.

Okay.

It's this man from my work.

I don't think I've said more than three words to him in one day, but we just

look at each other.

Before you know it, we're going at it like a scene in a movie.

Really?

So why don't you tell me about your relationship with your boyfriend?

Buckner.

My boyfriend.

I love him.

I know I do. It's just lately we've been getting on each other's nerves a lot.

Maybe my guilt has something to do with all this conflict.

Well, what came first?

Was it the problems in the relationship or the cheating?

The problems.

So are you saying that you think I'm cheating because I'm not happy in my

relationship?

Sounds reasonable.

But the other problem is I just think we're too different.

Opposites attract for a reason.

You know, I was just saying to somebody that the more different that two people

are, it actually brings them closer together.

Like it creates a balance.

But it used to be so much more attentive.

I mean, we actually used to talk and make love all night long.

Lately, he just doesn't make me feel very desirable.

You're a beautiful woman.

And if your boyfriend doesn't wake up every day and thank God that he's with a

woman like you, then he's crazy.

Maybe he just needs to understand your need for attention and communication.

You're very understanding.

I try.

That's it.

What's that?

That's the way I want a man to look at me.

How am I looking at you?

Like you want me.

Like you can hardly contain yourself from taking me up into your arms and

tearing my clothes off.

That wouldn't be very appropriate of me, now would it?

Maybe I need someone who's a little bit more sensitive.

Someone who's more in tune with what's going on around him.

Someone like you.

I'm not really that in tune.

I think you need to go home and have a heart-to-heart with your boyfriend.

Tell him how you feel.

But he won't listen.

Not the way you do.

What are you doing?

Maybe I need a doctor in my life instead of an unemployed actor.

But I'm not a doctor.

I never said I was a doctor. All right, you can go to jail just for claiming to

be a doctor. Not a doctor, right? We clear on that first?

But you're a man who listens.

Do you know how that makes me feel?

Um... It makes me feel good.

It makes me feel desirable.

It makes me want to give myself to you.

All right.

You know how to make me feel so good.

Oh.

What is that?

$200 for a session.

I can't take that.

Well, of course you can. You helped me out, doctor. You deserve it. I'm not a

doctor. All right, whatever.

You're great at what you do.

Thank you, but I can't take that.

Please take it.

It'll make me feel better about it.

Bye now.

Hi.

Nobody knows I'm here. I'm your neighbor.

I wanted to stop by.

I have to admit I'm a little embarrassed.

Do you handle men as well as women?

That depends on what you mean by handle.

I just need a little advice.

Okay. Yeah, sure.

I don't think I know how to satisfy my wife.

Um, okay, well, uh, sex is always a good start.

Take her out to dinner, buy her some diamond earrings. No, no, no.

You see, we've been married for almost 15 years, and I don't think I've been

able to satisfy her sexually.

I thought maybe you could show me, show me what to do.

Show you?

Yeah, you're an expert, right?

Uh-huh.

What could I do different?

Why don't you tell me what you do, and then we can start from there.

Well, we have, uh, intercourse.

Intercourse. See, that's your problem right there. You're calling it

intercourse. You gotta call it fucking or making love.

Right, I see what you mean. All right.

That could be dirtier and more romantic.

Wait, I'm confused again.

Okay, you can do both of those things, but not at the same time.

You got to have a plan.

Figure out where you want to take your wife.

You know, wear leather or something.

Yeah.

I see what you mean.

Put a little thought into it, huh?

Absolutely.

Okay, I'll try that. Hey, thanks. Absolutely.

How much shall I owe? No charge at all on the house. Just remember, you've been

with your wife for 15 years.

Obviously, you're satisfying her.

All right, so just be a little bit more creative.

Have some confidence.

You'll do fine. Thank you. You bet.

Have fun.

Tell her I said hi.

Hey, babe.

Good to have you home.

Do you want me to make you some dinner or maybe get a video?

No, I just came to get my pad.

Oh. Well, how was work? Anything exciting happen?

What do you mean?

I don't know. Just making conversation.

How was it?

Why are you asking?

Because I really love to hear about your dad.

Don't mock me, Nick.

I'm not mocking you, all right? I'm just trying to show you that I'm interested.

Well, do we have to do this right now?

How are we supposed to have a relationship if you won't even talk to

me? I don't know. Maybe we're not.

What's that supposed to mean? You want to break up? That's not what I'm saying.

Well, do you? Do I what?

Want to break up.

Should I?

You know what? You're not making any sense of here. You're going back and

forth, not answering any questions.

All right, fine.

Oh, now you want to talk.

Great. So, how was your day?

Good, bad, long, short, what?

No, actually, I left work early today.

Why?

I don't want to talk about it.

I give up.

Look, Nick, I really don't want to argue, all right?

Maybe I just need some time alone.

How long?

Let's just start with tonight.

No, fine.

Take as long as you need.

I'll stay in the guest bedroom. I'll see you later.

You've reached Yin and Yang. Please leave a message after the tone.

Carrie, this is Paul Dietzen. At the Globe?

Your latest column has really caused a sensation.

You'll get some business out of this one. Call me.

A sensation.

You've reached Yin and Yang. Please leave a message after the tone.

Hello. I just read your article in The Glow. I thought it was so insightful.

I was wondering if I could make an appointment to meet you.

That phone's been ringing off the hook all morning.

You're not booked up for the next three days?

All this from the article.

That's pretty cool, isn't it?

So you actually didn't go through with this scam, huh?

It's not a scam, Nick.

I'm providing a service here.

You know, I actually feel good about helping these people.

And, you know, the sex, it's a little incentive.

At least you're getting laid.

Things haven't gotten any better with Valerie?

She didn't even want to see me last night.

Wow.

Maybe it's just a phase.

Yeah, well, a phase that's hanging me high and dry.

Hey, I got an idea.

Why don't you come help me out over here?

Help you?

I don't know. You could answer the telephones.

You know, maybe work with some clients.

Nah, nah. I'm not good with advice.

You don't have to talk to him. You just have to listen.

You know, girls, they really like it when you just listen.

Plus, you know, they really open up whenever you get them out of their

clothes.

You really want me to help you?

Absolutely.

Fuck.

Who is it?

It's the newspaper you ordered, ma'am.

Go ahead and just leave it right outside the door.

Okie dokie.

Yin and Yang.

Please hold.

Yin and Yang.

I'd like to make an appointment.

Yeah, can you call back maybe in an hour?

Sure. Thanks.

Hi, how can I help you?

Hello, I'd like to speak to the person who wrote Monday's column.

Uh, he's in a session right now. Can I help you?

A session?

Yeah, we've been pretty busy, but I can schedule in for an appointment. I have

tomorrow at 3. How's that?

Who the hell do you...

Could you hold on, please?

Uh, you know, tomorrow at 3 we'll be fine.

Great. And your name, Miss?

Anger.

Emily. Emily Anger.

Okay, Miss Anger, I have you for tomorrow. We'll see you then.

I can hardly wait.

Yes, could you connect me to Gulf Star Airlines, please?

Well, I think we made great progress, Ms. Kendall, so I want you to feel free

to come back if you have any other inhibitions to explore.

Thank you.

Hello, ladies.

Somebody will be with you in just a minute, okay?

How's it going, Karen?

Are you feeling aroused yet?

Just a little.

Good. Well, you keep at it, and I'll come back when you're good and ready.

I can see

I've got a plan

Well, I'll explain it to you later. Look, can you give me a little hand? I

need a little help here.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's safe.

Come on, man. Don't leave me like this. Hey, hey, you don't know what you're

missing, man.

Now,

where were we?

That's right. The floating release.

Now, I want you to close your eyes and try to relax as I hold you.

Now I want you to tell me what's been going on in your life.

And as feelings come up, I want you to just let them flow away.

Just let it go.

You got it?

I think so.

Well, I've been having these desires to be with another woman.

Really?

Wanting to make love to another woman is nothing to be afraid of.

In fact... It can be a beautiful thing.

A really beautiful thing.

I suppose you're right.

Maybe you need to be in a safe, nurturing environment to help you

experiment more comfortably.

I think what I need is for a man to be there to help me ease into this

scenario.

That's a great idea, actually.

I'll tell you what, keep your eyes closed and continue on relaxing.

I'm going to be right back.

What's the other one now? Oh, hey, hey.

Oh.

Very nice.

Where's that? Okay. I see what you're...

Jennifer?

This is Karen.

Karen?

Jennifer? Hello.

Hi, Karen.

Karen wants to experiment in a different kind of relationship also.

Right, Karen?

Yes.

And Jennifer thinks she might be attracted to women, but needs a safe

environment to explore it in.

While Karen's been in a serious relationship with women and wants to

experience a man.

So I thought maybe the three of us could... Alright,

great. Okay?

So I thought first we start off with each of you reaching out and gently

caressing each other's faces.

Not so fast.

Not yet.

Now, I want you to forget that I'm the counselor, that you are the client.

We're just three human beings, open to touch, to

pleasure.

What are you doing here, Valerie?

What am I doing here? What are you doing here?

Miss Buckner?

Miss Buckner?

What the hell is going on here? That's what I would like to know.

Oh, wait. Don't tell me this isn't Valerie, is it? Who do you think it is,

Drake?

Drake? I thought you were Aaron.

And I let you have sex with me?

What? I don't believe this. Valerie!

You're a dick.

What did I do? You slept with Valerie.

Hey, I didn't know that was Valerie, okay? I thought it was Miss Buckner.

Why would Valerie be here?

I don't know. You're the one that said you were having problems.

Look, the truth is... The truth is that she came here because she feels guilty.

Because she was cheating on you.

Cheated on me?

With who?

I don't know, really. It was some guy from her office.

I thought she was the one.

And she might be.

You just all have to learn how to communicate.

I tried to communicate with her. She wouldn't talk to me.

The next time you see her, tell her that she's beautiful.

She doesn't think that you're attracted to her.

My God, I think she's gorgeous.

When was the last time you said that to her?

See? That's what I'm talking about.

Just communicate.

Everything will be fine.

You don't have anything to worry about.

It'll all work out.

My office right now.

See ya.

See, I know that now.

Then I didn't know it.

So I had to write something up. So I wrote something up, put it in the real

fax machine, and I sent it in.

Problem was, people started calling.

So, I don't know, I started feeling like I could actually help them.

Or not.

Look, you have every right to be angry.

Hell, I mean, you have every right to have me arrested, but for the first time

in my life, I actually felt like I was doing something good.

Listening to these women, it really opened my eyes.

You know, I hope that I didn't do too much damage.

Well, judging from the appointment book, you were doing something right.

So how exactly were you helping my clients?

By providing them with a comfortable place to explore their emotions.

That's what I do.

No. I mean, I'm sorry, but talking to a lot of the women that come here, they

were coming here to control their feelings.

You know, like there's something to be reckoned with.

If we can learn to somehow work with our feelings and not be afraid of them, you

know, then they can't hurt us.

What? What is it?

I think you're right.

I just... I can't believe that for my entire career, I can't believe that

I've been doing this.

That I have just... I've been going about this all wrong.

That's not what I meant. No, it's okay.

You know, someone once said that we write what we need to read, and we...

Teach what we need to learn. Maybe that's why... Maybe that's why I opened

this place up. Because I'm the one who needs help.

I don't think you need help.

I think you need to stop being afraid to feel.

I don't think you want to see that side of me.

I would love to.

That's what makes you human.

That's what makes you beautiful.

What are you doing?

I'm taking your advice.

Should I stop?

Wants to know me and me know it gives me hope

To give you more

The

touched. That's the part I need to

feel.

control beyond my wishes and desires

that secret space is waiting there

and I have tried and

I have come to understand that it's yours to give

Why?

I've been waiting for hours, Valerie.

I tried you on your cell.

Where you been?

Driving around.

I've been trying to make sense of all of this.

And I only have one question, Nick.

What?

Why?

Why the two girls?

I don't know, okay? It's something that just happened.

Look, sometimes we do things without thinking about the consequences.

Don't we, Valerie?

What's that supposed to mean?

Drake told me about your office fling.

You cheated on me.

And you cheated on me.

I didn't think you cared about me anymore.

Why the hell would you think that?

I love you, you idiot.

How am I supposed to know?

All you've been doing lately is busting my balls.

Look, I know you have a lot of pressure at work, but I have a lot of struggle,

too.

I need to know that you're going to support me.

I will succeed as an actor, and I will make you proud of me.

But I have to know that you're going to be behind me.

I am so sorry.

There's something else you need to know.

What?

I think you're the most beautiful, giving, loving woman I've ever met.

You still think so?

God, more than ever.

And I don't want to lose you.

It's good to have ghosts.

three is I come close to losing it, I know.

Oh yeah.

It hurts the most.

Seeing you, watching you go.

You go, you go.

It's good to have goals.

And baby, you're the one I want. I need a

mama.

baby don't you know i'm gonna rule your world baby don't you know i'm your

number one girl

And in between, I think of all the things we could do

It's good to have ghosts

and be alone You're the one I want, I've made up my

mind

I love you.

Here's to Nick, the new TV star.

Well, it's only a small role, but it's recurring, so that means I'm going to be

working all year.

And here's to you, selling the option to your script.

A thriller, huh?

No, no, it's a character piece.

And my new agent says it shows a remarkable understanding of human

nature.

And there's more.

Carrie's asked me to unpack my bags and stay for a while.

Really?

How long?

Well, we're starting with indefinitely.

You're really moving in?

What can I say? You know, I found what I was looking for.

Cheers. Cheers.
