Thank you.

Thank you.

Hey, Ashley.

Hi.

How you doing?

I'm doing good.

How are you?

Good.

How's your summer?

It's going okay, I guess.

It's been kind of quiet.

Are you going to be working all summer?

Just until grad school starts.

Or, you know, if I'm lucky, maybe law school.

I thought you might be thirsty.

So I had Flora make up some lemonade next door before she went marketing.

Thank you, Mrs. Henderson.

It's nothing.

And please, call me Amanda.

Thank you, Mrs. Henderson.

Amanda.

Mrs. Henderson, I don't think I could call you.

Come now, Brad.

Don't you think that's a little bit formal?

Yeah, I guess so.

Amanda, thank you for the drink.

My pleasure.

This is really good lemon. Hey, I didn't realize you could get such good lemons.

Off a backyard tree. I have good help. Oh, yeah, you're... Lemons? Uh-huh.

You like them?

What?

Brad.

My husband doesn't have time for gardening.

Thank you.

Should we go up to a bedroom?

Somebody might see us. I know.

That's the best part.

Oh.

What did you say your name was again?

Brad.

That's right.

Brad.

I'm out of here. Wait, Neil.

Can't we have a little family time?

I mean, we hardly ever get to see you anymore.

You're either off at law school or then you're off...

Somewhere. Yeah, well, where's Suzanne?

At her modeling shoot.

We can't really have family time without the prodigal sister, can we?

But... Name one of my friends, Mom. Just one.

Jason?

Jason! I'm reading, Amanda.

Your son is asking you a question.

What question?

Never mind.

Wait, Neil!

Maybe if you brought some of your friends around sometime.

You want me to bring friends by here? You gotta be kidding me. This is

dysfunction 101.

I'm out of here.

What?

What'd I do?

Gale?

Just a minute!

Come in!

I wanted to talk to you about an opportunity that's come up with the

firm. An opportunity?

Yeah, another attorney's being hired to pick up some of the slack, and we need

another paralegal.

You recommended me to be a paralegal at your law firm.

You have a problem with that? No, no.

Not at all.

It's part-time. You can still go to law school.

Fine. I'll make it work.

You'll need to maintain your grade point average.

Yeah. When do I have to start?

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

I need to make senior partner, Neil.

Don't disappoint me.

Could you at least try to take a little more interest in our children?

Suzanne is perfect.

And not that I owe you any explanations, but I've made Neil the new paralegal at

the firm.

I'm sure he's thrilled.

Especially since you know he wanted to spend his free time in art school. Could

you care just a little less?

Well, I guess that makes you mother of the year.

At least I try.

Every fifth Tuesday of the month. Very impressive.

You can't just stick Neil in your pathetic, work-obsessed little world.

Which pays for all this.

And expect him to be happy.

I guess he'll just have to learn to live with disappointment.

I do.

Every day.

You did some nice work today, Suzanne.

Here, I just finished developing these from our last session.

These are very hot, Robert.

Oh, the client will be pleased.

Yeah, that's nice.

What about you?

I think you did a great job.

And?

And your portfolio is very impressive.

And what else?

I can't take a bad picture of you. The camera won't let me.

So you like them.

I've been drooling into the developing tray.

Now I know you're lying.

What do you want me to say, Suzanne?

That I'm sexy.

You already know that.

And that you're still attracted to me.

Against my better judgment.

And that you still want me.

Aren't you satisfied yet?

No.

Wait If you're looking for an escape, okay, I'm with you, but let's both know

why we're doing this I Don't want to get married Robert.

I just want to fuck up your set a little

I expect hobbies.

Oh, wow.

um um

Bye.

Your mom nearly took ten years off my life

No, no, wait, wait.

Go, get me. Go, go. Just a minute.

Come in.

I thought we should talk.

What do you want to talk about?

Well, uh, I worry about you, about your future.

You're so young, Ashley, and... For God's sakes, Mom, I'm not a baby.

I can make my own choices and make my own decisions.

And what if they're the wrong decisions?

What if they're not?

I just want you to be careful, honey. I don't want you to get into something you

might regret later.

You're talking about Neil, aren't you?

I don't like him. I've made no secret of that.

You never even gave him a chance.

He's gonna be a famous attorney.

And where will you be? Right beside him.

You mean dependent upon him.

Honey, I just don't want you to get stuck with the wrong person.

Now you're talking about Dad.

I won't miss him.

Ashley, that's your father you're talking about.

I won't. Neither would you if you're honest with yourself.

If it wasn't for me, you two never would have gotten married.

That's not true, honey. I mean, who told you that?

I heard you two arguing.

You were always arguing.

You better get some sleep. I think it's a little late. We need to be up.

I thought I was going to have to live under there.

Hey, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

She was just in a lecture mode.

Look, Ash, about this lawyer thing... You really want to talk about that right

now? It's just I'm having a little... You were saying?

Nothing.

Nothing at all.

Hmm.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Neil? Sneaking back, babe.

Be careful.

Always. You know me.

Neil? Yeah?

You seemed far away tonight.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I guess so.

I don't know.

Lately, I've been feeling like I want more.

More than me?

Ash, I don't mean it like that. I've been feeling restless.

What I mean is... I want more from my life.

Go ahead, then. Go search for whatever it is that you're looking for.

But from where I sit, you have everything right now.

You just don't appreciate it.

Neil!

Holy shit!

Suzanne, you scared the crap out of me. What the hell are you doing up there?

That's funny. I was going to ask you the same thing, brother.

I was just dumb.

Oh, I know.

Exposing your legal briefs.

You're a wit, Suzanne.

Really.

My, you're touchy.

How's Ash?

Look, Suze, Mrs. Pratt doesn't exactly know that I see Ashley, and I need to

keep it that way, okay?

Oh, and I thought all mothers wanted their daughters to marry lawyers.

I think she'd rather marry anybody else but me.

And anyways, Ashley and I are just screwing around.

And she thinks a very overprotective mom just wouldn't understand.

So just leave it alone, okay? It's better that way.

As long as no one finds out.

What do you want, Suzanne?

Moi?

As much as I love watching you grovel, Neil, I just can't think of anything I

really need from you right now.

Not yet, anyway.

But... I will, little brother.

I will.

God,

I always hated that shirt.

Hi, sweetie.

Off to a shoot?

For the day of fun beforehand.

Sounds like a plan. When am I going to get to see my little girl on a cover?

Soon, Daddy. I promise.

Be careful with Suzanne, Ashley. You know how she is. Whatever.

Come on, Ashley. If you want to spend the day with me today, you need to move.

Hi, Ashley.

Hi, Mr. Henderson.

Here, let me grab those.

Oh, no, no. That's okay.

No, I got them.

I got them. Okay.

Thank you very much.

Ah, no problem.

Funny thing is, we've been neighbors for so long, I can't remember your name.

I don't feel I can call you Mrs. Pratt.

Charlotte. I'm Jason.

I know, um, my husband's mentioned you before.

Yeah, probably, uh, unflattering terms.

Made him trim back the hedges.

Yeah, well, he didn't like very many people.

Yeah, I'm sorry that he, uh... Oh, no, it's okay.

If you need anything.

I know where you live.

Here's your signing bonus.

Welcome to the firm.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

I'm looking forward to us working together.

I understand I have a paralegal to help me out.

Is that what you really want to talk about?

Yes.

And I'd like to know more with regards to the Stevens case.

When I left Brown and Trope, I knew that we would work together again.

I just didn't think it would be so soon.

I hope you hired me because I'm an excellent attorney, Mr. Henderson.

This is strictly business.

Really?

All right, Elaine.

I'll play you a little game.

I file a motion for a partial summary judgment in the Stevens case. I'll need

for you to do an ex parte application while I go over the papers of the

opposition.

Together...

If we win, I will become senior partner.

And you will move up very quickly.

How quickly?

Junior partner by the end of the year, quick enough.

So, uh... How's Amanda?

She, uh, still sleeping around behind your back?

I'm painfully ignored.

Oh, I'm sure you are.

I guess this is where you want to leave now.

Run along like a good little lawyer.

Work on your demurs.

I could.

Tell me that you missed me I missed you and that you wanted me

Say

it I want you say it again

Huh? Is that what you wanted to hear?

Is that an actual smile on your face?

You know how old these glasses make you look?

Bye.

Yeah.

Yes! Yes!

I'm planning a party for when the court grants my motion.

You're cocky. I'm determined.

Partial summary judgment's a big request.

I know. That's why I have you.

75% of the Stevens case will be gone.

Well, then we'll be primed to win, won't we? And I will get that promotion I

deserve.

Don't you mean we?

We, yeah.

We, I meant we.

Mr. Henderson, your son is here to meet with Miss Brill. I'm finishing up a

meeting, Marjorie. Have him wait in the reception area of Miss Brill's office.

Your son?

Your new paralegal.

Very nice.

Hello.

Sorry I didn't mean to keep you waiting.

Neil Henderson.

Pleased to be reporting as your new paralegal.

My father speaks very highly of you.

Oh, does he?

Wonderful.

Well, um, Stephen's case is most important right now.

And, uh, well, I understand you have classes.

And, um, well... For me?

Yeah. Go on in, and I'll catch up with you.

Oh, don't forget your note... pad.

Oh, sorry.

I was just doodling while I was waiting.

That's very nice.

Thanks. So, are you sure it's okay that I

watch your shoot today?

Yeah, of course.

Well, you didn't seem too happy about it when I mentioned it earlier today.

I was just PMSing or something.

Besides, can a girl change her mind? I guess so.

It's kind of silly, actually.

But Robert, the photographer, and I, we used to date, that's all.

I just didn't want it to be awkward or anything for you.

Okay? Well, yeah, if you're sure about it. I'm positive.

Okay. Come on.

All right, we'll go for some wine here.

There you go.

That is wonderful.

Let's try another. Ooh, right there.

Let's do the next section, Suzanne.

Um, just a minute, okay?

Ashley, um, I was thinking maybe you might want to get some air for a bit.

I'm fine.

I'm glad, but... Ready, babe?

Just a minute.

Um, well, I don't want to shock you or anything, but, um,

well, I do some nude modeling on the side.

Nude?

Really?

Well, I haven't made it as a real model yet, though I'm working on it. And you

know I like having expensive things.

I understand. It's just that I always thought that you were, you know... I

know. I know what you thought.

Anyways, a woman's body is beautiful, don't you think?

So, picture. Let's go.

All right, all right.

You're not going to tell anyone, are you?

No, I won't tell anyone.

You got awful quiet.

Yeah, I didn't realize you lived here. Hey, Mom, this is Brad.

He said I should bring friends by, so I dragged him here to dinner.

You remember him. He was in my graduating class, right?

Right after paralegal land, I ran into him at my law school. He's going to stay

in the guest room since he's checking out classes with me, okay?

Nice to meet you, Mrs. Henderson.

It's a pleasure, Brad.

Want a beer?

Absolutely.

Okay, wonderful.

Excellent, Suzanne. Just great.

Okay, right there, put your hand, drag it down a little bit.

Beautiful. Hold it right there. Stop there.

Oh, amazing.

Yep, okay, perfect.

Perfect.

You just look wonderful, okay?

All right, watch right there. Okay, you got the light.

Okay, turn your face towards me just a little bit. Just a little bit more.

Okay, arch your back.

Bring your hand down just a little left, right over there.

Move your hand.

Perfect.

You just look amazing.

Keep your head still. Look into your eyes to me. Just bring your eyes to me.

Perfect.

Okay, Suzanne, that's excellent.

Excellent, Suzanne.

Okay, slowly I want you to look over at me.

All right, there you go.

Perfect right there. Hold it just like that.

A little bit on the hair, right back in there. Those beautiful locks you got.

Let's see them.

Beautiful. Just like that.

Come down just a little bit. Lean in towards me.

Do the back. Do the back. Okay.

Right there.

Perfect.

Beautiful. You just look wonderful. Okay.

Hold it right there.

Pick up the snow a little bit. Beautiful.

Drop it right there.

But it just slopped down and flowed right there. Beautiful. Hold it right

there.

Well, Brad, I think it's admirable that you put yourself through law school.

Others seem to get things much too easily.

Subtle, Dad.

You know, I don't even know why I try to please you.

Is that why you're going to law school? To please me?

Well, that's just great, Neil.

There's something you can have a lot of pride in.

Lots of direction in your life son Jason stop it enough.

We're very proud of you, honey. Yeah Can I get anybody anything else

No, I'm fine, thank you

Oops

Christ Amanda, do you have to ruin everything? It's alright really Christ

Jason Do you overreact to your clients this way can't help them

Come on into the kitchen, Brad.

I've got a towel there.

We'll get you mopped up.

Hurry, we only have a minute.

Jesus Christ, Mrs. Henderson. I think we've progressed to Amanda by now.

Amanda, stop it. What's wrong? What's wrong? Your husband and son are five

feet away from here.

Oh, cute. Now you're shy.

If you think for one minute...

Brad. Very nice to meet you. You're welcome anytime.

Thank you, Mr. Henderson.

In fact, we're planning a dinner party once the courts grant a very important

motion of mine.

You're more than invited.

Thanks.

God, Neil, your mom is... Young?

Yeah, I know.

They got married in, like, senior year of high school or something.

She even took beauty school along with my sister Suzanne.

It was extremely embarrassing.

Come on.

Let's go.

You're leaving?

We'll be back. We've got to, uh, study.

I'll

see

you when you get back.

Limbaugh's here.

I'm leaving for the airport.

Stevenson deposition, remember?

See you tomorrow.

Like Elaine.

I mean, Miss Brill.

That's the third time you've done that.

What? Corrected yourself with her name. What? You like her.

She's my boss.

And she's beautiful.

Oh my God, you do like her. I'm seeing Ashley.

Oh, come on. You're in denial. Besides, you said the whole Ashley thing was

getting old. That she only likes you because you're going to become a boring

lawyer. So?

You want to be a boring lawyer.

But I have no talent, which means I'm going to be a perfect lawyer. Kiss my

ass. Is that what you're going to tell Elaine?

Fuck off, Brad.

Damn, you do have it bad, huh?

That looks like my sister.

You don't talk much about her.

Not much to talk about.

She's a model.

And everything that implies.

Man, I had the biggest crush on her in high school. I don't even think she knew

my name.

Consider yourself lucky. If she had known your name, she would have made

your life miserable.

I don't know, man. I used to watch her stand up for people being teased.

You must be confused.

Suzanne only cares about Suzanne.

You know, she did a lot of nice things when no one was watching.

She's changed.

I hope not.

there. Put your hand, drag it down a little bit.

Okay, pick up the snow a little bit.

Beautiful. Drop it right there.

Let it just drop down, flow right there. Beautiful. Hold it right there.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

I want to cry.

I want to

cry.

Definitely approve of the new gardener.

He's a friend of Neil's.

Really?

You were out all night again.

I was, uh, club hopping.

It's important to be seen if I'm gonna make the jump from modeling to acting.

Is there someone you're seeing?

Not yet.

But I'm working on it.

I'm ready to call in my marker now, little brother.

Really?

Do tell.

Hey, I kept your secret from Mrs. Pratt, and now it's payback time.

What do you want?

A date with your friend outside.

Paid for by you, of course.

Oh, and pick an expensive restaurant.

That's a real nice thought, Suzanne.

Very romantic.

But it's not going to happen.

What are you up to, Neil?

You don't think I'll do it.

Fine. I will.

It's ringing.

When you're done, let me talk to her, because I'm sure she'd also like to know

that her daughter's good friend is a nude model.

Maybe I'll tell Mom and Dad, too.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Shall I talk first?

All right, all right. How did you find out?

Suzanne, Suzanne.

Ain't life a bitch?

Laura!

Why is she cleaning upstairs when she knows we haven't had breakfast yet?

Flora! It's okay, Mom.

I gotta get my books anyway.

Bye, sis.

Slide over, I'm coming in. Oh, no, that's okay.

All right, thanks.

We've got to stop meeting like this. You know, garbage really isn't the greatest

topic of conversation.

Well, I really appreciate your help.

Did you just get home?

Yeah, yeah, I just, uh, court just granted a partial summary judgment.

Is that important?

Well, could win a big case, get a promotion.

Oh, wow. Well, that's exciting.

Your wife must be pleased.

Hmm.

Hey, we're having a big, uh...

party tomorrow afternoon to celebrate. Why don't you and Ashley join us? Oh,

that's... Okay, thanks.

Not really.

I like both of you.

Why are we doing this anyway?

I'm replacing the furniture.

All at once?

Oh, yeah. There's no sense in doing it halfway, is there?

Yeah, I agree.

Well, let's get started.

Oh, no. I didn't mean you and I. No, no, no. There's no way I'm going to sit in

my house and watch you drag this stuff all the way to the curb by yourself.

All right.

But you have no idea what you just got yourself into.

Elaine.

Ms. Brill.

Hello, Neil.

I was actually looking for your father.

He didn't come back by the office, and I've got some paperwork here that has to

be signed.

Really? Doesn't sound like Dad. He never misses anything that has to do with

business. Yeah, that's why I came.

Well, his plane landed hours ago, so I know he got back.

Mom might know where he is, but she's shopping as usual.

Why don't you come in?

Thank you.

Can I get you something to drink?

Sure. Water would be wonderful.

Thanks.

Here.

You work on the Stevens case. It's been excellent.

Thanks.

So how's law school going?

I hope our extra hours hasn't hurt your grades any.

No, no, everything's been fine.

You don't talk about it much.

Yeah, I know.

Wow.

This is beautiful.

You think so?

Absolutely. I mean, look at...

The shadow and the attention to detail.

You know, I went to art school at one time, so I can appreciate good work when

I see it.

Who's the artist?

I am.

Really? Yeah.

Painting lawyer. Pretty funny, huh?

Neil, you're so talented.

Why aren't you in art school or something instead of law school?

I mean, it's obvious you don't want to be a lawyer.

You know, I've been asking myself that question a lot lately.

You know, take my advice for what it's worth.

Follow your dream.

Because if you don't, you're gonna regret it for the rest of your life.

I gotta go.

Wait!

Can't believe we finished.

Teamwork, huh?

I must look a mess.

I think you look...

Beautiful. I don't think beer's payment enough, but it's all I could do on short

notice.

I'll think of something.

You okay?

Yeah, sorry.

I just never had a beer before.

You're kidding, right?

My husband never allowed alcohol in the house.

So I just bought one.

What,

the greatest trial lawyer in the country doesn't have anything to say?

I like your laugh.

I like you.

Hi, Mr. Henderson.

Hello, Ashley.

Mom, I'm going out with Suzanne.

What are you wearing, Ashley?

What everyone else my age is wearing.

I don't think so, honey. Go right to your room and change right now. I gotta

go. Ashley, wait.

I got two myself just like her.

Yeah, I know. They've influenced her. Hey, I can't control my kids either.

Did you ever think it would be so hard?

No, that's why I've abdicated.

You have not. I'm sure you're a wonderful father.

I try.

I mean, look at Ashley. Bright.

Beautiful. I guess she'll find her own way.

I gotta learn to let go.

Jason, I've never done this before.

And your wife. My wife and I married young, and we haven't had a real

marriage in years.

Do you want?

Yes. Good, because I do too.

I'm sorry.

Oh.

I looked for you in the guest room.

I figured that much out.

We have the whole house to ourselves.

I'm so sick of this shit.

Stop it.

What's the matter?

What's the matter?

You have a husband.

I know.

That's what makes it so fun.

And you're Neil's mom, all right? I mean, you have a family.

That didn't bother you before.

Well, that was a mistake.

I'm sorry.

Wouldn't it seem funny if I said I thank you?

No, not at all.

But I think I should be thanking you.

Kind of funny, huh? You and I.

Yeah, funny.

This was a one-time deal, wasn't it?

I can't break up a marriage.

Yeah, but you wouldn't be.

I can't do it to myself, Jason.

I just, it's not you. I just can't do it to me.

You understand that, right?

It was fun while it lasted.

Yes, it was.

Ashley! I'll be right out. I need to talk to you.

Take a seat. I'm almost ready.

I really want to talk to you. What happened to your room?

Do you like it?

What's up?

I had a very enlightening week.

Sort of.

Turned my world upside down a little bit.

And I thought that you might want to try something a little different tonight.

Are you okay, Ash? Look, I really think we should talk.

I'm great, really. And it's about time.

We can talk later.

Look, I think we should talk now. Not now.

Later.

Don't look so worried.

Goodness, Neil, you can be such a stick in the mud.

You never said that before.

When I nod push the play button and promise me you will not move until I say

so Ashley promise me Promise just sit back

watch and enjoy

Let's steal a golf cart and drive into the neighbor's pool.

Let's get real crazy and lose our jobs for something to do.

Give me too much excess.

Make it loud and crazy.

More is more is more.

I say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

We're having fun.

Making fun.

Let's open up a can of worms and shake it all around.

Let's tell some stories that aren't. true and see what goes down

let's peek into somebody's window and make a

loud sound i'll give me too much excess

make it crude

yeah yeah yeah yeah having too much fun

Watch my-

Do you still think that you want more?

Ash, I don't... I think I know what you meant.

You do?

Yeah.

I've been giving it a lot of thought, actually. I don't want to hurt you, Ash.

It's okay.

We've been together a long time, and I think that it's time that we break out

of this perfect little mold that we put ourselves in.

I'll always love you.

You know that.

I'll always love you, too.

Peace.

Thank you.

Hi there, Mr. Henderson.

Hi, Ashley.

Looking for Neil? Not exactly.

Enjoying your workout?

Yep.

You look great.

Very muscular.

And very hot.

Thank you.

Where's your mom?

Oh, she's out trying on new men. I mean, dresses.

Strong equipment.

I like that.

Helps relieve stress.

I'll have to try it.

You know, I was gonna ask if you'd seen my car keys, but I think I'll walk.

Neil, wait. Shut up! You disgust me!

Neil, what are you doing here?

I brought the signed papers, but I want to talk to you.

Talk.

Have a seat.

You can't do it, Elaine. You can't just turn my thoughts upside down and leave.

Everything's changed now. Everything's different.

Look, Neil.

I didn't make any decision for you.

You knew exactly what you wanted before I even walked into your life.

You just didn't have the guts to do it.

But I do now.

But I don't want to do it alone.

Look, I... I don't want you to regret this tomorrow.

I won't.

Neil. If you're making this big decision because of me, don't do it.

Elaine, I'm doing this because it's time I became the person I've always wanted

to be.

Nothing to say?

Well, I'm proud of you.

Thanks, Mom.

What do you want me to say?

Say you'll start over with me.

Say you'll... Tell my dad and his cronies to kiss off. We can pursue our

dreams together.

Look, I have a life. I have a career. And you're miserable.

I'm content. You're walking dead. I know. I've been there.

Look, I can't, okay? It's too late for me.

No, it's not.

I won't let it be.

Neil, he's so young.

I'm so right.

Don't think.

Feel.

Ugh. Ugh.

Yeah.

Gin and tonic.

Coming right up.

I don't think we've met. I'm Suzanne, your fabulous sister.

I'm Brad, and I don't think your brother ever gave you that kind of introduction

before. Probably not.

So, you like a twist with your gin and tonic?

I like a lot of things.

Quite a piece of work, aren't you? You noticed.

That means I must be doing a good job.

I know you, you know.

Excuse me?

We went to high school together.

Really? That's nice.

You'll excuse me, won't you?

What are you running away from?

I don't run away from anything.

So why don't you just stay here and talk to me?

Suzanne, you look beautiful, as always. Let's see.

Brad, will you zip up my dress?

Actually, he promised me a walk around the grounds before the party starts.

Didn't you, Brad?

Excuse us, Mrs. Henderson.

This is a really nice yard.

Even better, because I'm in it.

Hold up, Suzanne.

Are you playing hard to get?

No, I just want to get to know you.

What you see is what you get.

No, that's what everyone else gets.

I want more.

What if there isn't anymore?

I think there is.

What are you, a shrink?

No.

But I could be your friend.

You know, I remember you in high school, Suzanne.

You were kind and sweet.

I mean, you weren't afraid of just being yourself.

Yeah, well that girl got hurt a lot.

Well, maybe that girl went out with the wrong guys Maybe I'm

not good at playing games and I'm tired of playing them

Um...

Bye.

Ah.

You're quiet?

Thank you.

What about?

About what it'll be like to just be myself.

It's scary, but I think I could like it.

I could get used to it.

Me too.

Stephen's judgment was a coup.

My son's apparently, but working out the details would grill for the hearings. We

need to circulate. If you'll excuse us.

Talk to you later.

So which bingo is it this year?

Should I get forewarned, or should I get to guess?

Well, I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

Bastard. Bitch.

Shoot it.

So good to see you again.

Elaine.

Can I get you a drink?

No, I'm fine, thank you.

Hello. Welcome to our home.

I don't believe we've met.

I'm Amanda, Jason's wife.

Elaine Brill.

The new attorney at your husband's office.

Really?

Fascinating.

Miss Brill is parched. Come on, I'll get you a drink. No.

No, I wouldn't hear of it.

You two stay and chat.

I'll get you a drink.

Thank you.

You two belong together.

Move it, buddy.

Vodka straight up. Make it a dollar.

You're a very lucky woman.

You think he's so great, you marry him.

I'm paying you. Keep it filled.

Who's your son?

How should I know?

Don't you care?

I care.

It'll turn up.

Aren't we going to talk about us?

There is no us, Jason.

You know, I've been becoming a person that I don't like very much lately.

That's going to change. What are you talking about?

I'm switching firms.

Our compilation is on your desk, and it will win you the Stevens case, since

that's what you care about.

That and what's between your legs.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go find Neil.

Neil?

What the hell is going on between you and that pathetic excuse of a son?

Jason, your son is more of a man than you will ever be.

Get your hand off me.

I heard someone say that the bartender needs some more wine.

Okay.

Then I'll help.

I can't stop thinking about the other day in the gym.

Ashley, look, I don't think... Don't you find me attractive?

Well, of course, but I... I'd have to be blind not to.

I think that you are very handsome.

Ashley, stop.

I want you.

Stop. I can't.

I want to. It's not you. It's me. I'm sorry.

Ashley, you're so young.

But you can teach me.

Ashley, listen.

I have made too many mistakes to teach you anything.

Please, just forget that this ever happened.

Find somebody who is going to really love you and make you happy.

You deserve that.

You were spying on me.

I was worried about you. You were worried about me.

Yes, I was.

No, you weren't.

You just wanted to be able to sit there and say I told you so.

That's not true, Ashley. I... I just wanted someone

who would love me.

You will find someone, sweetheart. You will.

Honey, I promise you, you'll find them, usually when you're not looking for

them. Like you did.

I made a mistake, Ashley. I should have left your father a long time ago.

I've learned my lesson.

You have to find someone who wants to share your life, not own it.

Maybe, with a little luck, we can find that together.

Hmm? I'd like that. Me too.

Let's go home, huh?

Well, hello, friends, family, associates.

The sun has returned.

Neil, what are you doing?

He didn't get a chance to change.

Your father will see you. Ask me if I care.

This is who I am, Mom. I'm sorry if it's a disappointment to you.

Elaine.

Neil.

You're late.

Just the person I wanted to see.

You want to go for a ride, escape this party, prison?

Be my other half.

I'd love to, but I can't. Tell me you understand that.

Come outside.

There's something I want to show you.

Bye, Mom.

Tell Dad I said hi.

You know, on second thought, never mind.

Wait, wait, wait. Neil.

Jason.

You know what? Come here. I am so proud of you. Do you know that? I'm proud of

you. You gotta see this.

What did you do?

I got her today.

She's beautiful.

You inspired me.

You inspired me, too.

For a while, it was a wonderful dream.

Thanks.

Neil! What are you doing?

I'm leaving, Dad.

Traded in the Beamer for this beauty, and I'm off to see the world.

Maybe be an artist, maybe... Not with my money, you're not.

No.

On mine.

See, I got a little something, too.

And it'd mean the world to me if you took it.

I can't.

I'll call you from now on. Please.

Don't.

Bye.

Neil. Neil, you're not throwing your life away on this art dream. Now you get

back in that house!

Neal, you get back here!

Neal!

At least we still have each other.

Yes, we do have that.
