There's something wrong
with these sleeves.

Billy. They're French cuffs.

You have to fold them over,
then put the cufflinks through.

This is like prom night. Instead of
embarrassing myself in front of peers,

I get to embarrass myself
in front of advertising elite.

Taking Billy won't help.

I already told you.
Everybody at work had dates.

So there's got to be a reason
you came over here,

besides to tell me
how gorgeous I am.

He's here, in LA. Jo's husband.

I caught him by the mailboxes
looking for her.

I got rid of him by telling him
I'd never heard of her.

God. Jo must be freaked.

She doesn't know yet.
I haven't told her.

This is Scott Michaels,
Michaels Photography.

We're going to go
with another photographer.

I'll keep you in mind.
Thanks a lot.

Hi! Come on in.

You wouldn't believe my day.
Six rejections.

You're taking me someplace
loud and numbing.

You're getting me out of here.

- You don't have any plans?
- No...

- I thought we'd start at Shooters.
- Wait a minute.

- We have to talk.
- Sorry.

Talk's not on my agenda for tonight.

Come on, let's go. Come on.

OK, OK, OK.

Reality ends here.

I dunno, a veil?
Veils are too virginal, too Catholic.

Will you hold still?

You said that Terrence wanted
a traditional wedding.

A veil and some kind of train
are virtually mandatory.

Should've seen Jane's.
You could've booked passengers.

Go with the full sleeve.
I want to make you a wedding dress.

Sleeves are out. By the time
it's in a magazine it's already passe.

At least that's what Kay says.

- I love the plunging back idea.
- Also passe.

- You forgot her inseam.
- Look, Syd,

I've got three weeks to make
this dress, so do you mind?

Sorry. Just trying to be helpful.

I'm outta here.

And I thought nobody
could rattle your cage.

- I have to be more patient.
- Wait a second.

Since when do sisters
have to be patient?

Siblings are the only people
you can piss off and it doesn't matter.

It's just been building.
She's crowding me at work,

she's relying on me to provide her
with friends, her job, her life.

If she wasn't your sister
you'd have thrown her out.

My brother and I used to be like that,
always at each other's throats.

Now we only talk
at required family functions.

Polite, formal
and perfectly dysfunctional.

- It works.
- But that's what scares me.

I don't wanna end up like that.

Sometimes there's no getting around it.

When am I ever gonna get a job?

God, this guy today,
Howard something, what a jarhead.

I'm surprised he knows what end
of the camera to look through.

And he says I can't do glamour.

I actually think he expected me
to come on to him.

I know there's a recession,
but it is not that bad.

Jo, stop.
This is important.

Oh, there's that look.

That furrowed brow
and squinty-eyed look.

I saw your ex-husband.

Oh, my God. He was here?

Outside the building. I told him
I'd never heard of you. He left.

- Jo?
- I have to get out of here.

I'm sorry.

Once in awhile I like to dust off
the Arthur Murray steps.

- Don't worry about it.
- So, Alison, who's this?

Lucy, I'd like you to meet
my date, Billy Campbell.

The Lucy? The most incredibly talented
woman executive on earth?

He's too charming
to be the married one.

No, I'm the roommate one.

Roommate?
Alison, you continue to surprise me.

Not that kind of roommate.

I'll explain later.

Don't you get tired of explaining?
The same conversation.

We're platonic,
not boyfriend and girlfriend.

Not brother and sister.
We're not gay and we're not weird.

- We're just roommates.
- She seemed to like you.

Was there any doubt?
Have you been worried

- I was gonna embarrass you?
- This is about survival.

- Getting through the night.
- The best way

- is to relax and have a good time.
- Elinor.

- There you are.
- Danny, it's Alison.

I knew that.

I got stood up, can you believe it?

- Danny Baker, VP Creative.
- Billy Campbell, date.

Billy, this is the guy
I asked to the party.

Classic case of bad timing.
I already had a date.

- And now you don't.
- Bingo.

Look, Alison,
would you like to dance?

Sure.

Will you hold that?

Thanks.

- I don't believe you're still married.
- Well, I lied. It was easier.

I planned to file and everything
when time had gone by.

You should have told me sooner,
the minute you knew.

Hey, I wanted to.

Do you realize he's been looking for me
since the moment I left?

- What am I gonna do?
- I told him you don't live here.

- That's not gonna stop him.
- I'll stop him.

You don't understand.
Four years together.

Some of the years were good.
It's never all bad.

You left him. You ran off.
No notes. No calls.

Yes. I did.

- It was...
- Easier?

I think you better leave.

It's my problem, Jake.

You know where to find me.

It's Beth.

Look, I know he's out here.

Just tell me where he is, all right?
Where's he staying?

- Here you are.
- Yep. Here I am.

Just heard last call.
Can I get you anything?

No, thanks, I'm fine. Listen...

Is it OK if I go
to this post-party with Danny?

Everybody who's anyone is going
to be there, and he asked me...

Sure. Go ahead.
Have a great time.

Thanks. I'll see you later.

You were a great date.

You look great, Beth.
Sit, please.

- Soda water.
- How did you find me?

Your father. Took some convincing,
but he finally gave in.

- Look, what can I get you?
- I'm not staying.

I just came to tell you
what you probably figured out,

that it's over,
our marriage, all of it.

I realize that my departure
from New York was abrupt,

but I was scared.
I was in a panic.

This isn't just for show.

- I've stopped drinking, Beth.
- It's Jo now... again.

- I really can't stay.
- You know,

when I discovered you'd left,
I was crazy.

I was out of my mind.

I wound up passed out in the park.

The next day, I checked into a rehab.
The Moseby Clinic.

I remembered it from a brochure
you showed me.

I stopped, Beth. Cold turkey.

These guys at the rehab
made me realize

how many people
I'd hurt with my drinking.

People like you.
The people closest to me.

And part of my therapy,
my recovery,

is to heal those old wounds if I can.

To find those people that I've hurt
and if nothing else, to apologize.

That's the only reason I'm here.

I'm not here to win you back
or to take you back.

I'm just here to...

To say I'm sorry
for what I stole from you.

Listen, I'm just in town for a few days.

Would you have lunch with me?

Just lunch.

Michael? Syd?

Honey?

Jane!

- You overslept.
- I did?

- I did.
- Don't sweat it, I already called Kay.

She's not coming in until late herself.

I've got to get dressed.

No, I'm not sure about the place yet.

I'll have to get back to you on that.

No, no, gifts.
Well, no big gifts.

Yeah, yeah, it's a surprise party.

That's great.
I'll talk to you later. Bye.

Michael, Kay's studio would be perfect.

We'll lure Jane
with some work excuse.

It's a lot better than Shooters.

I told you,
I'm planning this party.

I just want to help.

I don't think that would be a good idea.

You've got no time.
You're out of places.

It's the eleventh hour
and you're desperate.

OK, OK.
You can help.

Check on Kay's studio
and get back to me.

Great.
You're the best, Michael.

He's such a doll.

- I made her breakfast.
- What a guy.

Yeah?

- Morning.
- Morning.

How'd it go last night?
Have a good time?

All he talked about was work.

Nothing worse than someone
obsessed with advertising.

Present company excluded.

Billy, I'm sorry about last night.

- Don't sweat it.
- No.

I was a jerk just leaving you like that.

The minute I left
I realized how stupid it was.

I just figured
it wasn't really a "date" date.

- I mean, we are just friends.
- Yep, just friends. Exactly.

- You are mad.
- Alison, what do you expect?

I rent a tux, blow-dry my hair
three times, kiss up to your boss.

Maybe I am your roommate.
It was a date and you dumped me.

I did not dump you.

You want to know if I was mad
and if it it bothered me? It did.

Don't ask me why.
It just did and it still does. I'm late.

Billy, you're being unreasonable!

Unreasonable is
not expecting me to care.

Don't ask.

Good morning.

Here. I'll clean this up.

I was thinking,
there's things you can do.

Injunctions, quick divorces.

Well, I went to see him last night.

At his hotel.

It's really confusing,
because he says he's quit drinking.

He admits it's a problem,
which he never has before.

That's why you're confused?

No, what's confusing me is
that I can't be married to someone

for as long as I have
and just not give a damn.

I can't just walk out and say it's over.

Who's asking you to?

Jake, I care about you.

I really do.

But this is my past.
This is my problem.

Terrence is budgeting
100 dollars a person,

but I'm going to need at least 150.

- Here, fuel.
- Oh, thanks.

- You think that's too extravagant?
- Not for Terrence.

Yeah. Hey, wait a minute.
What's that supposed to mean?

I don't know.
It's an observation, I guess.

You're changing. You used to make fun
of anything extravagant.

Now you're planning
the wedding of the century.

OK, all right, I'm changing.
You know, I have to.

I'm gonna to be living
a whole different kind of life.

What about your other life?

What about your volunteer work?
Rebuilding the neighborhood?

You don't know
what goes into planning a wedding.

You're right about that.

When we're married, I'll get back
into all that kind of stuff.

There'll be room for both. You'll see.

This had to have been difficult for you
with no money, credit cards.

- I'm working as a photographer.
- Really?

Yes, Charles, someone is paying me
for what you always considered a hobby.

"A worthless hobby", you called it.

I underestimated you, Beth.

I tried to make you
something that you weren't

and I can't take that back,
but I can say that I'm sorry.

If I forgive you, can we put an
end to this and get on with our lives?

Yeah, but it's how
we go on with our lives.

Separately. How else?

I made my decision. I left.

It all stems from this deep insecurity
that I was never good enough for you.

- You never thought that.
- No, I did.

No, Charles. Drunk or sober,
you were never insecure.

Well, I know this.

I never could believe
how fortunate I was.

And the truth is,

that most of our marriage
I didn't think I deserved you.

And maybe I didn't.

Beth, we've got to get past this.

Don't you understand
that I have a new life?

- A life that I like.
- I know.

I see that and I'm happy for you.

Look, I'm leaving town on Sunday.

So, I was thinking, if you weren't
doing anything this afternoon,

you could show me around the city.

We always talked about
coming out here.

Hey, doesn't four years together
at least buy me an afternoon?

- Whatcha doing?
- Revised patterns.

I guess Kay had a busy night last night.

Yeah. She said she couldn't sleep.

So, how's the apartment hunt coming?

It's coming.

Is that a cuff or a flub?

Could you do me a big favor
and get me some lunch?

- I have to work through my break.
- I dunno.

Sydney, errands is a part of your job.

Yeah, but I like to be near the action
in case Kay needs me.

Yeah, I get the idea.

Come on,
don't turn this into something.

I've got work to do.

Go kiss some butt,
or whatever it is you are here to do.

No, two orders of Mu Shu
and one order of sizzling rice soup.

Yeah, all right, thanks.

I've called her five times.

- She hasn't been home all day.
- Driving yourself crazy

- isn't going to accomplish anything.
- I hate this.

I can't push her, I can't give her
my opinion without blowing it.

It was going so good, too.

I mean, out of nowhere,

I finally meet someone
I think maybe could be it.

- I haven't even slept with her.
- You haven't?

- You?
- Don't be a jerk.

- No, I think it's great.
- It was great.

Now I have no choice but to sit back
and do nothing. Maybe even lose her.

Well, all the women I've done this to.
I guess maybe I deserve it.

Women are in control.
Check out The Simpsons.

You ever seen Homer say anything bright?

What happened to
shows like Magnum, PI?

- Shut if off.
- What?

Shut if off!

What do they actually do?

Well, it's a friendly building.

Listen, I had a great time today.

I really appreciate
all the time you gave me.

I guess I probably did
a little too much talking.

No.

- Nice try.
- What?

The jog. You said
it would help clear my head,

but all it did was give me
an opportunity to think.

You're absolutely right.
I have to ask her to leave today.

Today? Really? So soon?

All week you've been saying
I have to do something.

It's Saturday and I'm doing something.

I'm just surprised by the timing.

I can't take it anymore.

I've tried, I really have, but it's like
we are destined to repeat the past.

The same pattern as when we were kids.

You know, she had this condition
when she was younger, this heart murmur.

It went away in time, but for years
we were all on our tiptoes.

And Syd, she played it
for all it was worth.

She expected people to do things for her
and she got used to it.

- People grow up, though.
- But it's what they grow up into.

She latched onto my life then
and she's doing it now.

- My friends. My job.
- Well, that's true, but Jane,

if you don't think you've given
her a chance, you'll hate yourself.

So, I'm on rotations tonight.

Why don't you two go out, talk,
try to work this thing out.

Then tomorrow, if you still feel
the same way, good-bye, Sydney.

All right,
just promise me one thing.

Tomorrow night, for my birthday,
we'll leave her home

- and it'll just be the two of us.
- You got it.

Cross my heart.

This is, like, an actual date?

You made this guy out
like some madman.

He was when he was drinking.

Alcohol was like giving him
a loaded gun.

This is just the last thing I expected.

Hey, I'm as blown away
as you are, if not more.

I don't know if I trust him,
or I don't trust him enough.

Give him a chance
or keep slamming the door?

You went through
so much trouble leaving.

But this man and the man I left
are two different men.

This is who I fell in love with
before the drinking,

before the possessiveness.

The truth is, I'm just letting
what happens happen

without any anticipation.

You wanna get that?

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Jo, how's it going?
- She's got a gallery interested.

- They want to see more of her work.
- Great!

Thanks. I'm really excited.

Well, are you guys going
to go to Jane's surprise party?

Are you kidding?
I wouldn't miss it.

- No, I can't, I'm afraid.
- Oh, that's too bad.

I thought maybe we could go together.

Sorry.

Right. So...

- I'll see you there.
- Right.

- Good luck with the gallery.
- Thanks.

And then there's the Jake issue.

Alison, some advice. Never go out
with anyone in the building.

- How're you gonna get Jane there?
- Syd's taking her out,

then gonna lure her to Kay's.
The address. Seven o'clock.

Don't be late
or you'll mess everything up.

I'll see you guys there.
Don't forget the cake.

- We're bringing the cake?
- I'm bringing the cake.

Billy, this is ridiculous.
We go to things together all the time.

Yeah, well, we used to.

OK, so we'll go to this thing
together, but separately.

OK. Together. Separately.
Maybe this time I'll get lucky.

This is what we should have done
right from the start.

Girls' night out.
Just the two of us. Just to talk.

You always did that
when you didn't agree, but had to.

- You never change, Jane.
- Neither do you, Syd.

Sure I have.
Maybe that's been our whole problem.

You still think of me
as this little kid.

Your whole life you've been
able to do whatever you want.

I was left with the wreckage.
Mom, Dad and I.

- Three against one.
- No one was against anyone.

You just had this way
and you still have this way.

If you really want to know,
it's starting to get in the way.

- My fault again.
- I'm not saying that.

You're blaming me for everything
that's not working in your life.

- I am not blaming you.
- Come on.

I hear you talking to Michael.

You smile to my face, then dump
all your real feelings behind my back.

The reality is, you can't accept
that I'm doing well at all.

- That's not true.
- Why can't you just be happy for me?

Why is there always this tension?

I think you're trying to steal my life!

I think you've always been jealous
and now you see some kind of opening.

- I'm that terrible?
- You picked this fight.

- You deliberately provoked me.
- You provoked yourself.

This was obviously a mistake.
I'm going home.

Come on in, come on in.

- I'm getting a beer.
- Thanks.

Would you hold that for me?

I'll take this.

This is it.
OK, come on everyone!

- Where's the birthday girl?
- Where is she?

She's not coming.
We had a fight.

That's terrific.
Nice time to pick a fight, Sydney.

- She started it.
- I doubt that very much.

Well, all right, you stay here,
I'll go find her.

- The best laid plans.
- Want a beer?

You look like you could use a refill.

That won't help.

You're doing the only thing you can,
giving Jo room to make her decision.

She's making a decision,
she's only hearing his side.

I've never told her how I feel.

Hell, I've been as
confused about this as she has.

Even though
I think about her all the time...

...and I look forward to being with her.

And when we're together,
it feels right and special.

I never thought
I'd feel that way about anybody.

Jake, where're you going?

You can't do this.

- What's he doing?
- Why not?

- He's doing it.
- Who?

So, what? You're going to walk in there
and punch him out?

Get down on your knees
and propose?

Jake, she had years with this guy.
She can't just end it by running away

or by saying it's over. You've got
to give her the time and the space.

I would've moussed if I'd known
we were gonna take the bike.

Listen, Beth...

I've been honest with you, from
the moment I got here, about everything.

Everything that's happened
since you left.

Because I wanted you to know
and because...

I never thought there was
enough honesty before.

We never talked.

Is there someone new in your life?
I wouldn't blame you,

and I know it would be out of your needs
and not some desire to hurt me.

- It doesn't matter.
- I realize that.

It's just, I feel
like I need to know just to...

Just to see if I can deal with it.

Jake, the guy downstairs.
We've been seeing each other,

but it's nothing I would call serious.

He's very different from you.
More rough edges.

Hey, look at that.

No jealousy whatsoever,
not even a tremor.

Does that pass the test?

Cheers.

Surprise!

Hold it, everybody.
She already knows.

I had to tell her to get her over here.

You guys are terrible,
but thank you.

- Happy birthday, Jane.
- Thanks.

This is great.
Thank you.

Come here, I wanna talk to you.

I want you out of our apartment
by tomorrow.

We'll pay for the flight, hotel...

- Because I blew your surprise?
- Because we don't get along, Sydney.

We never have and we never will.

That's the way it is sometimes.
It's life. I'm tired of fighting it.

I'll tell you what, you won't have
to wait until tomorrow.

Couldn't sleep?

I figured you'd be spending
the night with your husband.

All right, I guess I deserve that.

I've been meaning to talk to you,
but haven't been able to

because I haven't had anything to say.

- I didn't think it would be fair.
- Don't worry about it.

You're angry.

Yeah, I'm angry.

I spent three days doing nothing,
sitting on the sidelines,

not saying anything, letting it happen.

That's what everyone
told me I should do.

"Sit on it, Jake."
"Don't push her, Jake."

I'm sorry, I can't do that.
That's not who I am.

I've been thinking about you...
and I've been worrying about you,

and I'm scared to death
that I just fell in love with someone

that I'm gonna lose
before we get started.

- I shouldn't have come down here.
- I'm glad that you did.

Fine, that's fine.
You just walk away.

- What do you expect?
- What do expect me to do?

Just sit back and watch you slip away?

When you came here you told me
what you wanted to do

was rediscover yourself,
to see if you could make it.

As soon as things get complicated
you run back to the thing you ran from.

That isn't fair!

- Tell me about it.
- Jake, go to hell!

How many times do I have to
warn you, Sergeant? Inside.

You, too.

- Hey.
- OK, now what I think this is,

is some odd sort of jealousy
and as is our usual custom,

we've blown it out of proportion.

There is no reason
we can't do things together

- without this weird, tense thing.
- That's very profound.

- Billy, I'm serious.
- Alison,

you're intellectualizing this thing.

You went to the ball, saw your chance
to get laid, and you went for it.

- Where on earth did you get that idea?
- Hey.

You were more attracted to him.
You're not attracted to me.

I'm not attracted to you,
so don't sweat it.

I guess old Danny Boy
just couldn't close the deal?

This is so interesting.

So exactly how would you
"close the deal", Billy Boy?

- Oh, you really wanna know?
- No! Forget I asked.

First of all,

I'll fill you up with my
fudge peanut butter cookies.

Then maybe I'll pick out a little U2,
One, your favorite song.

You and Keith,
evoke some memories.

And maybe my famous
monkey impersonation.

No. No! No!

Oh, God!

Women love a sense of humor.

Good night, Alison, buddy old pal.

- Who is it?
- It's me, Charles. I wanna talk to you.

- Oh, God, you've been drinking.
- I'm all right. I'm fine.

Charles, please, don't do this.

You had no business...
You and that bum downstairs.

We're still married
and you're screwin' around.

- I want you out of here.
- No, I don't think so.

You messed with me, Beth. All this
pretending that you actually cared.

You leave or I'm calling the police.

You slept with him, didn't you?
Didn't you?

Probably the first night you got here.
Another way to get back at me.

That's it.

Damn it, you owe me
for what you put me through.

- Let me go.
- You are ungrateful.

You're selfish.
This time I'm not going to forgive you.

Walking out on me.
The embarrassment with our friends.

"I don't know where she is.
She just left. No note. No nothing."

I was humiliated.

No, no, no! Get out of here!
Get out of my life!

You don't mean that.
You need me.

You need help.

You think I give a damn
what you think about me?

Please.

You're not even worth it.

You know what,
you were nothing before you met me,

and now you're nothing again.

Jo? Jo? Are you OK?

I heard a noise.

Yeah, just both of you,
just leave me alone.

That's funny,

I don't see any rough edges.

Excuse me, I gotta get a cab.

Wait.

I've got a note, so, if it's OK,

I'd like to leave
without a lot of fanfare.

- Why do we put ourselves through this?
- Sisters.

That's a lousy excuse.

I let you walk out of Shooters.
I wanted to ruin your party.

I didn't mean to, but when
the opportunity was there,

I couldn't control myself.

- It was a chance to hurt you.
- It worked.

Look, it's real basic.

I've just always wanted to be like you.

I saw the way Mom and Dad were
around you, all the attention you got.

And all I got were a lot
of lowered expectations.

All I remember was Mom and Dad saying,

"What're we going to do with Sydney?"

I felt like I had to excel
just to get noticed.

All I ever heard was,
"Why can't she be more like Jane?"

It doesn't matter anyway, does it?
I mean, we are who we are, right?

Look, I've got a plane to catch.

Mom and Dad'll be thrilled to hear
I've flunked out of another school.

Least now I've got some more direction.

I figure there're other designers
out there besides Kay Beacon.

Maybe there'll be two of us
in the business.

Well, I welcome the competition.

- Let me get Michael, we'll drive you.
- No, you've done enough.

Billy's taking me in his cab,
special airport fare.

So...

...bye, Jane.

- I love you, Syd.
- Me, too.

You were cool with Terrence.

You barely said
three words to me at the party.

- What's up?
- Rhonda, do we have to? It is Sunday.

Yeah.

Look, I'm not going anywhere
until you tell me what's going on.

All right,
you wanna know what's going on?

I'll tell you what's going on.

I'm scared.

Too scared to find somebody for myself.

I keep in shape,
do all the right things,

constantly preparing myself for
something that I'm afraid to go after.

I know it's not easy.

Want to know what scares me worse?

- Losing you.
- Oh, Matt.

Oh, God, don't you think
I'm scared, too?

I mean, taking a big step like this,
going so fast...

I'm going nuts.

But you and I,
we're not gonna lose what we have.

Yes, it'll be different,
I'll be married,

but it's not going to just go away.

All I want to know is, are you happy?

- Only if you're happy for me.
- Yeah, I'm happy for you.

- Have you got a best man yet?
- No, Terrence is still deciding.

No, not Terrence, you.

I've never heard of a bride
having a best man.

- You have now.
- Cool.

- To hell with tradition.
- That's what I say.

Thank you, sir.

Oh, come to see me off?

How thoughtful and how so unlike you.

I'm filing for divorce.

I forgave you once.
I'm getting on with my life,

no matter how difficult it is
or what it entails.

- And you owe me this chance.
- I owe you?

Oh, I get it.
Little short this month, are we?

There, that's what I owe you.

That's what I pay all my whores.

Excuse me.
This is for you.

Mr Reynolds is a big tipper
and not much else.

Goodbye, Charles.

When you're done,
how about doing mine?

- Well, I charge double on Sundays.
- Charles is going back to New York.

I'm filing for divorce.

I appreciate all the room you gave me.

- Well, it wasn't easy.
- Yeah. I wasn't much help.

But it is gonna be time
before I can commit to anyone.

So long as I don't
lose my place in line.

You want to go for a ride
up the coast later?

- Come on.
- Yeah, sounds like a plan.

Good.

Jo?

Welcome home.
