So, it sounds like you got Lauren situated.

Situated.

Yeah, that's what she is.

I meant, uh, sounds like she's doing okay.

I know, and she is.

(sighs) You know, you were really great with her.

You were understanding and kind.

I just did what anybody would do.

Well, not just anyone would go to Mexico.

Seriously, what you and Dylan did-- I just, uh...

We didn't do anything.

Nothing that any friend wouldn't do

for another friend, that is.

Kelly, you could've been arrested.

We weren't, so end of story.

Gratitude accepted.

(chuckling)

You are so modest, you know that?

And funny and...

And I think about you a lot.

I think about you, too.

If you need more time, I totally understand.

You know what I don't understand?

How could you possibly be so good?

Believe me, I'm not.

Criminal mismanagement?

That's just what my lawyer called it.

The lawyer she spoke to as a friend.

No one's been hired yet or anything.

Aunt Felice, there was 75,000 in there before,

and now there's less than 15.

You were the trustee, so who do you think I should blame?

Your mother asked for the money.

Yeah. She said it was for expenses.

For what?

New master bath, shag carpeting?

How was I supposed to know that?

You could've asked.

You would've if you cared.

Now, see what you've gone and done?

Like I was the one who ordered the shag carpeting.

You know what?

We were supposed to be working things out here.

Noah, did you see Gina?

Yeah, she just peeled out.

What's going on?

(sighs) She's upset about my mother,

and she's gonna sue her.

You okay?

No.

I feel like I'm stuck in the middle,

and it's a really difficult place to be.

Here I have family on both sides, and...

and yet I feel completely alone.

You don't have to be.

Okay?

(sighs)

I should go talk to him.

Okay.

Save it, all right? I see what's going on.

Wait. You made your choice.

Live with it.

(slamming)

Whoo-hoo!

Yee-haw!

(grunts)

Dude, what's your problem?

Hey, I got no problems, man.

Come on, I'll race you to the pier.

All right, you're on.

Whoo-ha!

Yeah, come on, baby!

(laughing)

Yee-haw!

Whoo!

(cackling)

Come on, baby! Yeah!

(Jet Skis banging)

(banging) Whoa!

(coughing) WOMAN: Hey!

(onlookers murmuring)

DYLAN: Hey!

(groaning)

You and Noah looked awfully cozy this morning.

Are you guys back together?

Well, we were never officially apart.

A fact that seems to have escaped David's notice.

Well, going on a date with him

might have given him mixed signals.

Unlike the door he slammed in my face this morning.

Well, I'm sure you guys will work it out.

You always do.

Like you and Dylan?

I don't know about that. Did something happen?

Did you guys not get along in Mexico?

Something like that, yeah.

Hi, uh, listen,

I've been thinking a lot,

and I've kind of come to a decision.

I'm not gonna sue your mother for $60,000.

Well, that's good news.

I'm gonna sue her for $1.1 million.

Very funny.

Donna, it's for pain and suffering.

Are you kidding?

No, I'm not.

Listen, I understand if you're upset.

I mean, she's your mother.

Upset, Gina?

We're family.

You know, when no one looks out for you,

you have to look out for yourself.

No, no, no, no, you came here.

I introduced you to my friends.

I gave you a place to stay.

I'm very grateful for that.

You have a hell of a way of showing it.

Do you realize how insensitive you're being?

Oh, please, Kelly, this coming from a woman

who doesn't even have the decency

to let Lauren's side of the bed get cold?

That's not a very nice thing to say.

You know, I was really worried

about you and Dylan in Mexico together.

But obviously you're still after Matt.

Matt, the kid who bought the drugs ID'd your client.

He said she was the dealer.

We're talking about a straight A student here

with no criminal record.

What was she doing in Beverly Hills?

Using the public library.

The kind the public in her neighborhood doesn't have.

Oh. Jay, she walks by minding her own business.

These two white kids are doing the deal.

All right, the buyer gets busted,

points the finger at her.

Why, if she's innocent?

There could be a number of reasons.

Maybe the dealer's a friend.

Maybe, maybe he doesn't want to lose his connection.

But he knows it's gonna fly

because she's the only African American around.

Your client should think about

pleading guilty and getting the best deal she can.

What did he say?

He wants to cut a deal.

What kind of a deal?

It's your first offense.

If you plead guilty,

you may not even be looking at jail time.

What?! No, I'd rather go to jail

than plead guilty for selling drugs.

They've got a witness.

She is not pleading guilty under any circumstances.

Why not?

Because I didn't do it.

All right.

(knocking on door)

Oh, come here.

You know, I would not have been able to do that

if some guy hadn't saved my life today.

What are you talking about?

A total stranger jumps in the water,

pulls me out, I didn't, you know...

What, uh... Are you okay?

Yeah, but I... I didn't get a chance to talk to him.

So, I, uh, you know, gotta find him.

Oh, um, this thing with your mother,

you need help with that?

Uh, no.

You're sure?

Yeah, actually I'd kind of

like to keep that separate from us.

Why is that?

Uh, I don't know, um,

if you're gonna go look for that guy, I could come with.

No, I kind of just want to talk to him.

Yeah, I'll stay out of your way and you stay out of mine.

Not the way I want it.

Just, uh, just the way it is.

Perfect.

JANET: Have you seen a manila envelope addressed to the printer?

Would that be the envelope with the $3,000 check

in it for the printer?

Yeah, that's the one.

Yeah, well, I... I ripped that check up.

I reallocated the funds.

Reallocated? Yeah.

I used the money to pay a prostitute last night.

Oh, well, I hope it was worth it.

Oh, yeah. And, uh,

by the way, I never want to see your face ever again.

Uh, no, Janet...

she sold me this.

It's the black book to the Madam of the Stars.

She stole it from her boss.

She was in quite a hurry

to get out of town last night, too.

Well, why'd she come to you?

She reads our paper.

Oh, a rousing endorsement. Look at this.

It reads like a who's who of Hollywood movie stars,

power brokers, super agents...

Wow. That guy uses a prostitute?

Why? He's so young

and super famous. Why would he need a prostitute?

My favorite are the closet philanderers.

Those holier-than-thou, squeaky-clean family men like

famous talk show host Mark Chapel.

Do you know what would happen

if we ran an article based on this book?

Yeah, circulation would triple.

And lawsuits would bankrupt us. Ah.

His name is Patrick Ferrall-- two Rs, two Ls.

Right. Uh, am I...?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

I got the bracelet right here in my hand.

Anyway, that is... that's not possible,

because I saw him today.

You're, you're telling me he died in December?

(knocking)

I'll get back to you.

Hey. Oh.

Am I interrupting?

No.

I'm just, uh, trying to find somebody

that doesn't want to be found.

Well, then, do him a favor.

Don't try too hard.

Well, I have to.

He, uh, did something I appreciate,

and I want to thank him.

Yeah, well, we did something that Matt appreciates.

He's very grateful.

Hmm. So was I.

The more he thanks me, the guiltier I feel.

Oh, come on.

Uh, what's it gonna be-- beer or... beer?

Did I cheat on Matt?

The guy was with his wife, Kel.

Yeah, but...

I knew that that relationship was gonna end,

one way or another.

Did you have another choice,

or must you overthink everything?

It doesn't bother you, cheating on Gina?

Uh, not particularly, no.

See, I don't understand that.

Oh, it's, uh... it's what we do.

Me and you.

With Brenda.

You know, on Brandon.

And now Matt.

Mm-hmm.

It's who we are.

This is different.

He's different.

I love him.

I'm sure that you do.

I'm also sure that someday

you're gonna want to be with me again.

(rock music playing)

(knocking)

Yeah?

(door opening)

One minute.

Just hear me out.

Song's almost over.

Talk fast.

Well, I told you I wasn't over Noah.

Big difference between not being over someone

and being with them, Donna.

Come on, we're not gonna really

let this ruin our friendship, are we?

No.

Besides, you didn't really want me.

You wanted what we had.

I still do.

Well, you're gonna find someone else.

Lately, my love life has been pretty pitiful.

Well, maybe you expect too much too fast.

Oh, so what you're saying, I should lower my expectations?

No, just change it up a little bit.

You know, expand your horizons.

Get out of this booth once in a while.

Are you kidding me?

This booth is the only thing I have going right now.

No. You know what?

You... you're absolutely right.

You should stay right here,

and you should let them come to you.

What are you talking about?

Well, you have a very big audience,

and most of them are women.

The last time

I got together with a call-in, she was 17.

Yeah, yeah, well, you know, this time you'll ask for ID.

No, no, I can't.

Come on, take a chance.

The song's ending.

There's a new high in lows.

I have a challenge

to all eligible women.

I'm convinced there's no one out there for me,

so... prove me wrong.

Give me a call, write me a letter, send me

a picture.

I dare you.

(rock music playing)

This is never gonna work.

(Donna laughs)

DYLAN: Look, Doctor, I have talked

to every administrator here,

and the only thing they will tell me is

that you were Patrick Ferrall's attending.

Yes, that was three months ago.

Yeah, but it says Patrick Ferrall right here

on this bracelet from this hospital.

Now, if he is dead,

there's got to be some kind of connection.

Mr. McKay, I-I just had 18 hours on call.

All right.

Oh, watch out.

Oh. Oh, that's great.

That's great.

Now, the state-- they-they spend thousands

of dollars on light fixtures,

and they can't spare a dime to fix a lousy playground.

Oh, yeah. Listen, he...

This guy was in, you know, his mid-twenties

uh, brown hair.

He was maybe my height. I...

Patrick Ferrall was seven years old, brown hair.

Oh, this kid was definitely not seven years old.

I mean, he jumped in the water, saved my life.

He was wearing this, and it says Patrick Ferrall.

You know what?

Patrick had an older brother.

He kept a vigil here.

He-he never left his side and he...

never gave up hope.

I remember when Patrick died, it was...

Ugh! It was hard.

It really hit him hard.

Maybe he kept his brother's tag.

Must, uh...

test your faith, working here, huh?

I wonder when we learned to give up.

Because these kids-- they never do.

Tell you what.

I think his brother's name is Tim Ferrall.

Tim. And he lives in Simi Valley.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Hmm.

Hey.

Hey. How you doing?

Wow. That looks heavy.

Yeah.

Um, yesterday--

us together-- did that feel awkward to you?

Matt, we have plenty of time.

There's no need to rush anything.

Yeah, you keep saying.

Um, look, tomorrow night,

I want to take you and Dylan out for dinner.

My way of saying thank you.

You've already done that.

Indulge me.

I'm sure that Dylan won't be able to go.

I already checked. He's free.

Okay.

Okay.

STEVE: Ah, there you are.

You guys are here early.

Well, what's the verdict? Can we print

the information we found in the black book or not?

Well, here's the deal.

You can't be sued for libel if what you print is true.

Yes. What did I tell you?

So, where's this infamous

black book I've heard so much about?

(sniffing)

Mmm! Lightning in a bottle.

(chuckling): All right.

Thank yourself. Thank you.

Could you, uh...?

Thanks.

Um... You got it?

Now, you just have to be able to back up every word

you write with, um, proof of its accuracy.

Uh, that's not a problem. Check this out.

(laughs)

Yeah, you weren't kidding.

There are some very, very interesting names in here.

Yeah. JANET: Well, how are you supposed to prove that

Mark Chapel's sleeping with a prostitute?

We tail him.

We follow him everywhere he goes.

It'll be fun.

Are you in, Counselor?

No, I'll sit this one out,

but you mind if I hold on to this for a while?

Just want to do a little more research.

Yeah, okay. Just don't go selling that

to any other tabloids.

Okay? Yeah. Don't worry about that.

Come on.

Yes. Thanks.

JANET: Oh. Got it?

Yeah. Thanks. Okay.

Come on. Bye.

Thanks a lot.

Oh. Sorry.

Yeah, you should be.

Whatever.

Are you still planning on suing my mother for a million dollars?

Actually, I'm suing her for one million,

$100,000.

You do know what you're doing is so wrong.

You know, see, now, that's not what you said

when you told me to go after the deep pockets, remember?

Yeah, that's when I thought

it was some big financial institution.

Oh, what? And what, now, because it's your mother?

She's not some bank or a financial whiz.

I'm sure she did the best she could.

How do you know that?

Look, all I know

is that I used to have a secure future,

and now I don't

because of your mother.

(sighs)

Listen, why don't...?

Why don't we all go to dinner

and at least try to work this out?

Do you remember when we were kids,

and I came to visit you that summer?

And the neighbor made fun of me

because I was wearing your hand-me-downs?

Yeah, I remember that.

And you stood up for me.

Why can't you do that now?

Jay, wait up.

I, uh... I got a question for you.

Is it about the Barret case?

No. A, uh, journalist I know got his hands

on a madam's black book,

and one of the names in it is heavily political.

No kidding? Who is it?

Yeah. Well...

A young guy, but I hear

he's already positioning himself for D.A.

He's a friend of mine. Yup.

They say the guys who like

to give orders all day like to take them at night.

Check out the notes right there. Oh!

Anybody can write a name in a book.

Yeah, and anyone can point a finger in a drug bust.

Linda Barret could have taken a plea with no jail time,

but she's willing to roll the dice,

because she's innocent.

She's not the only one willing to take a risk.

You just blackmailed a deputy district attorney.

(rock music playing)

Look, we're gonna have to work together,

so we're gonna have to deal, okay?

I'm the one that has to deal

with you and Donna being together.

Yeah? You got a problem with that?

Those for me?

Claudia from the cleaning crew found them out by the back door.

Oh.

(sniffing)

(laughs)

It smells like cotton candy.

(sniffing)

Nice. Bodes well.

Look, uh, good luck tonight.

I mean it.

Thanks.

I'm sure you do.

This is KVIB.

You're on the line with David Silver.

WOMAN (on phone): You have some nerve.

What makes you think

you're so special you can pick and choose

between so many women?

If I were so special,

you really think I'd need to be doing this?

(chuckles) Well, I'll say this for you:

At least you're honest.

(laughing): Yeah, so are you.

You're the first person to call me

on how ridiculous this whole thing is.

It's not as bad as being alone

when all your friends are hooked up and in love.

You always this direct?

Always.

That's a great accent. Where are you from?

Caracas, Venezuela.

Hold on, all right, we'll talk off the air.

I'll get your, uh, name and number, you know.

Just hold on.

(Latin music playing)

Hello?

(dial tone droning) Hello?

Hello?

What a day I've had.

Three hours at Lieberg and White.

I'm sure you've heard of them, Gina.

Ranked in the top ten law firms in L.A.

Oh, actually, no, I don't.

Are you trying to intimidate me, Aunt Felice?

Intimidate you?

My beloved niece who's suing me

for a million dollars?

Perish the thought! Mom, stop.

I have to admit they did say that your case

doesn't stand a chance in court.

Bobbi, do you have to keep rummaging through that

ghastly bag of yours?

Well, I'm just looking for my cigarettes.

Mom, you can't smoke in here.

Yeah, in L.A., you can't smoke in any restaurant.

Gotta have a smoke.

The woman has absolutely no self-control.

Never has. Never will.

(hammering)

Hey.

If you came to say thank you, you're welcome.

Don't mention it, my pleasure.

Whatever my life is, you, uh, you saved it.

No offense,

but your life doesn't mean a whole hell of a lot to me.

Either way,

I'm sorry for your loss.

My parents can't even look out here without crying.

I let a seven year old kid sit on my lap

and drive the car around the block.

Some guy runs a red light, barely taps us,

airbag goes, he dies three days later.

You think it was fate,

my saving you?

Some cosmic favor that put me out there just swimming by?

Yeah. Yes, I do.

The truth is, before your accident,

I decided to keep on swimming

and not turn back.

I was going to kill myself.

Now what do you think of Tim Ferrall, the big hero?

I think if you really wanted to die,

you'd have gotten back in the water.

Night's still young.

We're gonna nail this guy for stepping out on his wife.

We don't have any proof.

Come on, he's in the madam's book.

He snuck out last night at 10:00.

Went to a hotel room,

then slithered back home at 5:00 in the morning.

What's that?

Yeah, but when he pulled in the driveway,

the light went on immediately.

I mean, I don't understand why she didn't just kick him out.

Who cares about her?

She's not news; he is.

We're just gonna have to settle

for a picture of him coming out of the house.

You know, we waited all night at the hotel,

and we didn't see anyone go to or leave his room.

Guy keeps a hotel room full-time.

Just because he didn't have a prostitute last night

doesn't make him a saint.

I'm just saying, we don't know

anything about his life.

Okay, here we go.

Oh, don't you dare kiss him good-bye.

She should take that knapsack

to her husband's head.

(chattering)

You know what, I think you're right, Janet.

We don't know anything about this guy's life.

And we do now?

You know, I'm thinking that he keeps that hotel room

because he doesn't live here anymore.

I bet they're separated.

And they just haven't broken it to the kids yet.

Trust me on this one.

DAVID: Noah.

NOAH: You giving Claudia extra work?

Hey, you can't wait for the floors to dry, man?

Sorry.

Uh, dude... she's coming here.

Who? The girl I told you about.

So, one conversation, you're sold?

What can I say?

I'm intuitive.

Thought she got disconnected, man.

DAVID: Yeah, well, she, uh, she wrote me a letter.

Banco de Chile stationary.

(chuckling) Oh, yeah.

I talked to her assistant.

I thought she was in Venezuela.

Yeah, it's the same continent.

Yeah, and now she's conquering this one.

(chuckles) (knocking)

Cecile?

DAVID: David.

I was afraid you... you didn't get the message

but well, here you are.

I'm sorry,

this is Noah.

Cecile. Nice to meet you.

You don't have an accent.

You were hoping for someone else?

Look, you're way more beautiful

than I expected and great, I'm sure.

But yeah, yeah, I was.

I'll, uh, never forget what you did for Lauren.

Nothing.

You know, I used to

have a hard time with you two spending so much time together.

Well, that's because Kelly follows her heart.

What does that mean? No, I mean, it's just that,

uh, she does whatever she wants.

There's nothing you or I can do about it.

Okay. Thank you for the bio.

But Matt knows me just about as well as you do.

And he's just trying to thank us.

Thank us for what?

She didn't even take the pills.

Dylan...

Unfortunately, at the end of the day,

we didn't help her any, Kel.

So, you're saying neither did I?

It's nobody's fault.

And if I hadn't tried to help her?

Same result.

Is this really so awful for you,

admitting that you actually care about someone or something?

Hypothetical situation.

The guy saves my life.

Same guy wants to end his own life.

What are you talking about, someone committing suicide?

And what?

Me the, uh, all-powerful Oz,

I'm supposed to get in there and make a difference?

Yeah, that would be what one would do.

No, Kel.

If he really wanted to off himself, he would.

And if he didn't, he won't.

Now, there's a theory that'll get you

through the day without trying.

Or failing.

Or is that what you're afraid of?

Hmm, activism in stereo.

You two are perfect

for each other.

Is your, uh, cottage cheese the large curd or the small?

I haven't looked lately.

Just water is fine.

Okay.

So, Mom,

how come we never visit your family?

Isn't that clear?

What, are you embarrassed of them?

Honey, look at Bobbi.

She and I have absolutely nothing in common anymore.

Except Gina.

Well, let me tell you something about Gina.

There are two kinds of people in this world.

The givers and the takers.

And... that girl is a taker.

Believe me, I know exactly how Gina can be,

but it's not all that she is.

Well, sweetheart, that's because you only see the good in people.

No, I see the bad, too.

And now I understand how you feel about your family.

That you would rather turn your back on them

than admit you made a mistake.

Bobbi blew that money.

I know.

But your name was on the trust.

Therefore, you had a responsibility,

and you ignored it.

You should give her the 60,000.

For the simple fact that it's the right thing to do.

(giggling)

How are Matt and Kelly?

(sighs)

Annoying.

(sighs) It's a funny thing about dying.

I kind of always thought I'd go kicking and screaming.

Weren't you?

No.

I mean, I felt like I was choking.

I couldn't really tell up from down

and then... nothing.

You were losing consciousness.

No.

I was numb.

I have been for months;

I just go through the motions.

You should stop.

And do what?

Figure out what you want.

You should've been at dinner.

Matt and Kelly were full of easy solutions.

Not you, though.

You are a fighter.

And what are you?

I'm just somebody that doesn't care very much.

About anything.

Present company excluded, right?

I'm just saying that I know how it is between us.

I'm not proud of it.

The fact that I'm still here...

neither am I.

You always get in this early?

Anytime the D.A.'s office calls.

Waiting on a friend coming in on an early flight from New York.

So, uh, what's up?

You win. I'm dropping the charges.

Why?

You know damn well why.

What's the official story?

Cops pushed the kid at the library hard.

Gave up his dealer.

Caucasian, two priors.

Nice.

An innocent 17-year-old girl would've gone to jail.

The jury might've decided otherwise.

What can I say, I lost my faith in happy endings.

It's no excuse.

What you did was unethical,

not to mention illegal.

What was he talking about?

I lost Lauren. There wasn't a damn thing I could do about it.

I could save this client,

and I was willing to do anything it took.

Hi. I could get some coffee if you need a minute.

No. Come on in.

It's good to see you. I, uh...

Kelly, this is Anna Murphy from New York.

Hi.

Nice to meet you.

Lauren's best friend, actually.

Oh. How is she?

Uh, well, not taking visitors at the moment.

What's this?

We can talk about it later.

The manager and client for me?

You said you were here on business. Is this it?

You might want to open that when you're alone.

Lauren is suing me for divorce?

She's doing it for you.

Matt, she loves you.

Yeah, she loves me, but she's divorcing me.

That doesn't make sense.

When I saw you two in New York,

and she asked to see me alone.

Yeah? She wanted to say good-bye.

She wanted to see a lawyer.

I sat with her while those were being drawn up.

Look, this was not easy for her,

but she was determined,

and she was sane.

You're shredding it?

Yeah.

Who knows? Maybe Mark Chapel was just lonely.

Maybe he made an appointment with a call girl

and never kept it.

Or maybe he made a lot of appointments,

and that's why his marriage broke up.

Spare me the details, okay?

I've been down the disappearing parent road before.

(shredder whirring)

(sighs): When I was young,

my parents told me they were getting a divorce.

I couldn't believe it.

They hardly ever fought.

They were trying to protect you. Yeah.

Maybe.

Anyway, the next day, my dad takes me over

to my new room at his place.

Oh, it was great.

It had bunk beds and indoor climbing forts.

It had everything.

The guy really tried.

But then I saw the laundry

building up in his closet.

Saw the expired dairy products in his refrigerator.

I knew then that he had left us a long time ago.

You know, not all marriages fail.

Not all men cheat.

It's just that when you see it happen,

like the way we did this week, it...

(sighs)

It kind of opens up old wounds.

(paper tearing)

(shredder whirring)

After Donna and I talked, I realized I did make a mistake.

Dr. Martin and I have agreed to give you

the $60,000 your mother misspent.

Just like that?

I mean, this isn't a loan?

Well, you have to drop the suit.

I don't know if I would take it.

I mean, she knows she's gonna lose.

She's just trying to minimize the damage.

Mother, what do you want me to do, call my lawyer?

DONNA: Gina?

You asked me to stick up for you, and I am.

Look, Gina,

I want to help you.

And I'm sorry I was unavailable when you needed me.

Oh, well, I'm sort of sorry

for all those names I called you.

Such as?

Well, just when I was growing up,

I thought "stuck-up bitch" was kind of one word.

(gasps)

(both laughing)

(cackling)

(laughing)

You know, I don't think

Donald Trump would have pushed this through faster.

Yeah, he could, if he were willing to do the work himself.

(laughs)

Well, thank you, Mr. McKay.

Oh... you can just call me Dylan.

The mister part kind of freaks me out.

I read it on your extremely generous check.

Thank you very much.

Take good care.

Why did you ask me here?

I hate this place.

My brother died in this hospital.

I appreciate your coming.

If you're worried about me offing myself again,

forget about it.

I already live in hell.

No, I think I found us a way out.

Come on.

(children shouting)

These kids need a new playground.

I say we give it to them.

You mean, build it?

Well, I saw that tree house you were tearing apart

in your backyard.

Figure maybe it's time to put something back together.

They're waiting.

(laughing)

So this equipment will do the trick?

It's ours to fail with.

Check it out.

Hey.

Uh, listen,

we're all going to the After Dark tonight.

Thought maybe if you wanted to meet up.

Uh, I don't know. I...

It's a group thing. You won't even know I'm there.

Oh, my goodness, I am so unbelievably grateful!

So's my mom. So's my little brother, my teacher.

You... you saved my life. This guy--

he's the best.

Heaps of good Karma.

Tons of happiness.

That's what you deserve.

Thank you.

(squeals)

Client. I... Yeah.

You know, that's what Lauren was trying to tell you

with those papers she sent.

You deserve everything.

I blackmailed the deputy district attorney

is what I did.

Yes, but you did everything you could to save your wife.

So, what are you saying?

You win some, you lose some?

Lauren wants you to live

the kind of life she wants but can't have,

even if it's without her.

Kelly, I feel really guilty about us.

You know, when Lauren came here,

and-and I thought we had a second chance,

I-I just... I felt...

Guilty about hurting me.

Right.

Well, it did hurt

more than I can tell you.

You asked if there was

a reason why I needed more time,

and I thought there was, but there isn't.

I'm still a mess, you know?

Join the club.

(laughing)

I told you she'd pay.

Oh.

Well, I had my doubts when you called me about this,

but you were right.

Her lawyers at, uh, Fop, Phooey and Phony...

(giggling)

...were no match for my little Gina Bina.

Guess what I did for you.

I got you bumped up to first class like you love.

Ooh. Sweet.

And I also...

This is your portion of what we scammed from Felice.

Whoa.

Put it away, Mom.

(cackling)

(laughing)

You know, if Matt doesn't show up,

you can always cry on my shoulder.

Oh, they're big, broad shoulders.

It's very nice of you, but I'm fine.

Okay.

(chuckles)

I'll be right back, guys.

DAVID (over the air): I want to thank all the women

who answered my plea for a girlfriend.

All submissions were gratefully received,

but the contest is over.

'Cause I remembered something.

I remembered how love kind of sinks

its teeth in when you're not looking.

You can't make it happen or re-create it,

no matter how hard you try, so

I am hereby

officially... giving it up to fate.

Thank you.

(Latin music playing)

What?

If you are giving up,

why are you playing our song?

You... you're...?

Claudia.

Why didn't you call me back?

I was testing fate, too.

Which isn't a stretch, since we work together.

(laughs) Mm.

I didn't realize you're the girl who cleans the club.

Well, I'm here three mornings a week

for the last month.

Don't look so shocked.

I didn't mean to sneak up on you.

I was just saying how that can happen.

I heard.

Lucky for you.

And me.

Okay, you guys, I'm out of here.

Oh. Bye. Bye.

See you. See you later, Kelly. Drive safe.

Hey.

Hey.

Sorry I'm late.

Oh, I didn't think you were coming.

Yeah. Well, uh,

it's just...

It's taking me the longest time

to do anything these days.

Kelly...

It's just that she was such a big part of my life.

I know.

And so are you.
