(vacuum humming)

(phone ringing)

Matt Durning.

KELLY: I know you're busy, but I just wanted

to call and say "hi." Hi.

I'm vacuuming.

Well, a clean carpet is important.

But why don't you hire somebody to do that,

so you can hang out with me?

Which is also important.

Well, actually, I've been avoiding a research memo.

Okay.

(clears throat)

Um, honey, hold on one second.

Hi. Hi.

What are you doing here?

Actually I'm, uh, servicing a bowl of cereal.

It's in dire need of some milk, so...

Oh, a tragic tale.

I want to talk to you about something.

Okay? So, stick around, okay?

So, sorry.

Uh, it's a no go, huh?

Next time, I promise.

What are you doing later?

Uh, just some errands and stuff.

I'll stop by in a few hours?

Okay, sounds good.

That year, I had sex with every best actor nominee.

And few supporting, as well.

I made up my own little Special Effects Award,

if you know what I mean.

But times have changed

and so have I.

My involvement here with all of you

has really made the difference.

Okay, so...

do we have any newcomers here this morning?

Yes?

Hi, everybody.

I'm Steve.

I'm addicted to sex.

ALL: Hi, Steve.

KELLY: Okay.

So, what did you want to talk about? Nothing.

I lied.

See, I figured running into you was the best thing that's

gonna happen to me today, so I didn't want you to slip away.

I'm not avoiding you, if that's what you think.

We never see each other, Kel.

No, no, Matt and I were at the After Dark last night.

That's not what I mean.

I mean you and me alone.

Yeah, that's not a good idea.

Why is that? Because friends aren't

supposed to want to sleep together?

And we don't. We don't want to?

Or we just don't?

I mean, you were just talking

to Matt on the phone right now

and you didn't tell him about me.

It just didn't come up.

Well, for future reference,

drinking coffee is not a crime.

Give me your purse.

Give me your purse, now! Mommy!

Don't hurt him, please! Give me your purse.

Please! Please, don't hurt him!

Just let him go! Mommy!

Come right over here. Are you okay?

(labored breathing)

Oh. Are you okay?

I just need to sit.

Mommy, are you sick?

I'm fine, honey.

I'm not due for another month,

but I think it's time.

"Time"?

Time! Mm-hmm.

Okay. Okay, uh, do some breathing.

And, um, I'll just-- I'm gonna go and I'll Okay.

come right back and I'll take you to the hospital.

Okay? Just stay right...

Okay, listen, I'm going to take her to L.A. Memorial.

Are you okay? Yeah, son of a bitch broke my helmet.

Well, did he get away?

Nope, he's right in here.

Can't make up his mind: paper or plastic.

MAN (screaming): Let me out of here!

I'm claustrophobic, bro!

It's not my problem! Shut up!

(banging)

Oh, wait.

Let me out of here!

(continues banging)

Ooh, it's all right, sweetie.

The nurse will take you to the playroom for a few minutes.

I called your husband. He's on his way. Oh, thank you.

Good luck, okay? Breathe.

Listen, I'm going to be a little late.

Something's come up.

GINA: I have great news.

A job offer.

That's, that's great.

I'll, I'll call you when I can get away.

Oh. Away from what?

Look, I, I got to go. I'll see you later.

Dylan, but wait. I want...

Hello?

(mouthing): Perfect.

Hi. Hi.

I'm Jason Chang of the Tribune's "Metro" section.

Oh, hello. That was a great thing you did today.

Oh, thank you.

Kelly Taylor.

Did you say the L.A. Tribune? Mm-hmm.

You know that mugger your friend bagged

has a long rap sheet.

You got a bad guy, a pregnant mom,

couple of Good Samaritans.

It's a reporter's dream.

I'd like to know everything.

Where you were? What you were doing? Uh, we were

um, just having coffee. Who's "we"?

You and your boyfriend?

Oh, um...

This really isn't necessary, is it?

We'll only mention your names in the lead in

and the photo caption.

In this case, there is no such thing as bad publicity.

I don't know about that.

So, what's his name?

Um...

(mouthing): No.

Steve Sanders.

Hey! Did David stop by?

He was supposed to pick up those

on-air promos he's doing for us.

Did he talk to you?

You were supposed to write them, right?

Janet, is everything okay?

(on machine): Steve, it's Katie.

Thank you for being so open at our meeting this morning.

You know, afterwards, I got... This is nothing.

a chance to chat with Kenny.

Wait. Listen.

Kenny's a compulsive

masturbator like you are. (laughing)

After he heard you talk, well, This is nothing.

suddenly, he didn't feel so alone.

Oh, I got your message.

Lunch today sounds good.

So I will see you later. (machine beeps)

This was a hunch.

It turned out to be a gold mine.

The Beverly Hills meeting

of Sexual Dependents Anonymous.

(chuckles)

And what exactly were you mining for?

Stories for the paper.

Now, there were no celebrities in attendance.

However, this girl, Katie, happens to have

a play-by-play.

She also happens to be my sponsor,

so she and I will share intimate details of our experiences.

Perversion. No.

Genius!

(cackles)

Hey. Hey.

I'm parked in a red zone, so I don't have a lot of time.

What's with that hair, Eddie Munster?

Thanks, Steve.

Uh, can I get the ad copy, please?

Oh, yeah, give me 20 minutes. I'll put it together. Here.

Steve's had a tight schedule.

Oh, do you want to share with David your problem? No, no.

You know, about the, uh, compulsive...

No! No, look. It's, it's gonna be great.

You're gonna be very proud of me.

Come on, Steve. Share with me.

I don't think so. Please?

Hi, Steve.

Hi. I'm Katie.

I'm brimming with pride.

Janet. David.

Hi. Hi.

This is my lunch date.

I'll see you later.

Shall we?

Who is she?

That's an alarming new friend of Steve's.

Charming.

You said "alarming."

Yeah.

Hey.

Hey. New hangout?

What are you doing here?

Oh, fabric's 40% cheaper down here.

Merino wool, feel.

It's definitely wool.

What's the matter?

Nothing. Everything's cool.

Hmm, well, is the menu any good here?

Um, I couldn't tell you.

It's my first time here.

The coffee's not bad though.

Do you want me to leave you alone or something?

'Cause I'm feeling weird.

I saw you and I was happy to see you...

No, I'm happy to see you, too.

Okay.

Let's get out of here.

Sure.

Noah, where are you going?

I think Sal finally made these the way you like them.

Donna... No, just go eat your eggs.

So, uh...

Do you want to take these to go?

Hey! Am I interrupting?

No. Please, interrupt.

Oh, good. I'm here on business. Um, official business.

Legal business. Really? What's up?

You don't watch the Skating Channel do you?

I've, I've flipped by, yeah.

They offered me a job!

Congratulations.

Color commentary, it's the regionals

of the World Figure Skating Championships.

Kitty Shavers?

Her contract is up and they're looking for some new blood.

And you want me to negotiate your contract?

Oh, no, there's nothing to negotiate.

It's just that they called me up and they said

"Who's your lawyer?" and I didn't want to seem,

you know, unprofessional. Okay, well.

Um, here. Here's my card.

The fax number's on it.

And, uh, can I take a look at their offer? Oh, yeah.

I'll take it.

Well, see, Gina, a first bid is always a lowball offer.

They don't really expect you to jump on it, you know?

No, see this is a real job. It's a big break for me.

Oh, yeah, I mean, Gina,

you got the break, they made you an offer,

but you were a national finalist, you know what I mean?

Yes, and now my job is to go to people's homes

and teach them the correct way to do sit-ups.

Listen to me, okay,

do you know how many executives had to approve this offer, huh?

It is done, they picked you.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

All right.

Okay, well, go ahead and do your lawyer stuff

or whatever, but do it really fast, okay?

Okay, all right. See you later.

So when I whacked this guy in the head,

he broke the face mask on my helmet

which made me mad and I put him in the trunk.

Yeah. You threw him in the trunk?

How Jackie Chan of you.

How come I never get to be the hero?

What happened to the woman?

So she goes into labor

and we all go to the hospital

and she has the baby.

She's doing fine.

He's a little early, but healthy.

I go to make a phone call.

when I come back Kelly is surrounded

by reporters and policemen

who need to file a report.

Yeah, so then what happened?

I might not have done the right thing.

What? What?

Nobody ever actually saw me at the scene. Yeah.

So?

So I told them I was with you.

You saved the day.

Wait a second, with me? Why?

Because there were TV cameras at the hospital. Yeah.

Look, Steve,

we just didn't want Gina and Matt

to be wondering why we were hanging out.

KELLY: We were just having coffee.

Yeah, decaf. It wasn't like it was some clandestine

meeting or anything.

Well, it is now.

That's not like you to lie, Kelly.

So what really happened?

Nothing. Talking.

Talking. Nothing.

Oh, boy.

KELLY: Gina's already jealous

and I sort of made a promise to her

that I would stay away from him.

Way to keep a promise.

Yeah. DYLAN: The thing is, Steve,

right now the Tribune they need your-your picture.

My picture?

For a feature.

And the mayor's office would like to know

how to contact you to thank you.

(laughing)

And see the media they need a-a like a hero right now.

And we just need a big favor.

I don't think so.

(phone ringing)

Beverly Beat, this is Steve Sanders.

Courageous?

Not quite.

A Gary Cooper for our times?

Can you hold on a second?

How many times did I hit him?

Uh, once. Once.

Once.

It was a, a big left-hand hook.

(rock music playing)

Hey, I was looking for you all day.

With or without the waitress?

Would you sit down, please.

The club's packed and I'm shorthanded.

Can we talk about this later?

Would we even be talking about this if I hadn't run into you?

How long have you been seeing her?

I'll tell you as much

as I understand myself, okay?

Her name is Rene.

I hate sentences that begin with "her name is."

And, yes, I've been going to see her the last couple weeks.

When are you gonna get to the part

that's going to make me feel better here?

I can't tell you everything right now.

But I'm not involved with her.

Except for the fact that she's my sister.

Well, when he picked up the kid,

that's where he crossed the line with me.

I knew then it was going to get ugly.

I didn't know you had it in you.

WOMAN: In addition to receiving... I knew.

the Highly Regarded Citizen's Award,

Steve will receive tickets to several Dodger home games,

and 100 pounds of sausage from Raffi's of Beverly Hills.

Oh, yeah, if you guys want sausage, you come see me.

It's often said that what this town needs

is a hero.

The Michaels family found one in Steve Sanders.

Why didn't you tell me about this yesterday?

Well, you know me-- I don't like to brag.

Okay, enough of this. We all have things to do,

places to go,

people to save, right? Yep.

He is so cute. Thanks, honey.

Well, you two make quite a team.

Oh, it was all Steve.

Oh, I beg to differ.

But when did you two meet up yesterday?

I thought you were running errands.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, my car was acting funny, so...

Yeah, it was smoking a little bit.

A little oil leak on the exhaust manifold,

so I just tightened up her valve covers, that all.

It's okay? It's fine. It's fine.

You sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

All right.

Um, are you coming with me or...?

Oh, no, I'm gonna-- I'm gonna stay with Steve for awhile.

All right.

See ya, man. See ya.

Bye-bye.

Hi. Bye.

Um, hero's thataway.

Flowers humbly accepted. Oh.

These ain't for you.

Hey. Hey.

Hi. Hey.

These are for you.

I'm sorry that I doubted you.

And I would love to hear all about your sister.

All right, um, okay.

She's my half-sister,

and, look, I don't, I don't blame you

for being upset with me, okay?

I just-- I have so many questions.

Does your mom know?

She doesn't have a clue.

Are you going to tell her? I don't think so.

Look, my dad's personal estate was settled

a few months ago

and his lawyer came to me and said,

"I want you to clear out his desk."

And I did and I found some pictures

and some returned checks, stuff like that.

Then his legal advisors pretty much explained the rest.

So he had an affair.

He had a second life.

I mean, hopefully, it was better than his first.

Do you know if he was in love with her mother

or did they spend a lot of time together? I don't know.

Was Rene close with your dad?

I don't think she knows who he is.

So what does she say? Rene?

"How do you like your eggs?"

Are you telling me she doesn't know who you are?

Look, my father's gone.

I can't bring him back, okay?

But there's this little part of him left.

I just want to see what she looks like and how she acts.

I'm not looking for hugs and kisses here.

Yeah, but she's your family.

That's her bad luck.

Well, it sounds like you have some issues with intimacy.

Here you go.

Meal is on the house.

We have a no-charge policy for crime fighters.

(chuckles)

And please don't take this the wrong way,

but maybe a spiritual void.

I'm working on that.

But, I mean, I think you've come a long way.

Some people can't even get through an hour

without acting out.

I was inspired when you shared with the group.

It was pretty bad for a while.

How bad?

I mean, well, that story about the premiere.

That was moving.

You really had a thing for actors.

Politicians, too.

Really?

Steve, you're enjoying this a little too much.

You might as well be reading a dirty magazine.

No. This is way better.

I won't indulge your addiction.

It's not helping either one of us.

Katie, I'm in the newspaper business.

The tabloid newspaper business, to be exact.

And these stories,

well, they're really great.

Steve, don't even ask me

what you're gonna ask me.

I wouldn't use your name.

That group is a lifeline.

You publicize membership and you'll destroy it.

Steve, I saw you on TV.

You're a hero.

Now act like one.

Hey, guys.

Hi. David-- I think we met yesterday.

Hi. Yeah, I remember you.

I'm not interrupting anything here, am I?

No.

We're done.

Oh, man, I'm starting to trip on my superhero cape.

I'm starting to hate this.

She is beautiful.

There's something about her--

she's very...

Sexual?

You know, that could work against you.

Yeah, right.

MATT: So anyway, I looked over their offer,

and if they want you as much as I think they do,

we can get more money.

Really? Mm-hmm.

They paid Kitty Shavers

twice the amount last year. Yeah, that's because she's a name,

but she stinks as a skater.

Well, you ready to play a little hardball? Mm-hmm.

You're not going to ask for too much, right?

Only what you deserve.

Good.

And how do you know how much that is?

You know. You just have to.

Or you won't know when to walk away.

Right. When is that? When you're being undervalued.

If you don't think you're worth more, you won't get it.

That's right. Same is true in life.

Same is true in life.

WOMAN: Business affairs.

Yes Matt Durning for Cyril Rycoff.

Please hold.

RYCOFF: Hello.

Yes, Mr. Rycoff. I'm representing Miss Kincaid.

Okay, how'd you like to proceed?

Well, we've gone over

your offer sheet

and we're proceeded to line my birdcage with it.

Ooh, this is fun.

I like that-- curveball.

See ya.

See ya.

"Within seconds, Mr. Sanders had run up

"and bagged the convicted felon

like the sack of groceries he..."

"Soon became intimate with

in the trunk of Mrs. Michaels' car."

How embarrassing.

Okay, here's the best part.

About the mom.

"The Michaels family welcomed its newest member,

"a six-pound, three-ounce

baby boy named... Steve."

Aw... Oh, come on--.

You love all this attention.

Janet, it's just... not me.

What, brave?

Humane? Selfless?

Yeah, all that stuff.

Yeah, all that stuff, that stuff that I just knew you could be.

Huh.

What is wrong with you?

You know what, I need to get back to the office.

You're going to work-- now?

Yeah, there's a few loose ends I need to tie up.

Well, do you want me to go with you?

No, no, I will, uh, I'll see you later.

DYLAN: All right this looks pretty done.

Oh, Chef Dylan McKay.

(humming tune)

Hey, hey, look out.

What?

Listen, don't do that.

I-I'm supposed to be cooking for you here, okay?

It's done. I know, but--

You do the pasta, I do the salad.

Mm-mmm. Here's what we'll do. No.

I'll take you over here. Mm-hmm.

And we'll work on the main course

and then later, we'll get to the salad, okay?

That's very European. Mm-hmm.

Wait. Why are you being so nice to me?

It happens.

(phone rings)

It does?

Sometimes.

Yeah. Hello?

Your local hero at your service.

Yes, well, I am here with Gina

right now, Steve.

We need to meet, the three of us.

(sighs)

Yeah, yeah. I know the spot. I'll meet you there.

No, you call her.

About ten minutes.

All right.

That was Steve and he's got a problem.

And you're leaving.

Yes.

But I'm also coming back, okay?

So keep the pesto warm.

And, um, we'll do this when I get back, okay?

Who is "she"?

Janet.

Janet?

Yeah. Bye.

Bye.

(chuckles)

(groans)

I just wanted to collect my sausage and be done with it.

Now I got a kid named after me!

I know that it might not seem like it right now,

but you are doing all of us a huge favor.

I lie in bed with my girlfriend at night

and I can't even look her in the eye.

Tell me, Kelly, how do you do that with Matt?

Because it was a cup of coffee.

It was perfectly innocent.

A cup of coffee?

Please. You two may as well sleep together.

You know, you two don't really fit and yet,

in some kind of weird way, you do fit.

We see it. We all see it.

Matt sees it and so does Gina.

So, for our sake, get it over with already, okay?

Thank you. Good night.

Your friend certainly has a flair for the dramatic.

I'll say.

(sighs)

I should go.

You think?

How come?

Because of some of the things he said.

Because he's right.

(engine revs)

Okay, Steve, tell me everything.

What's up, bud?

I've got a date with Katie.

Oh, boy. Oh, boy.

Oh yeah, I caught up with her yesterday

and we totally hit it off! We're going to have lunch today.

Did she tell you? About herself?

Yeah, she-she's from Oakland.

Likes red licorice and...

Is that it? Is that all she told you?

What? What? What, does she have a boyfriend?

No. Not currently.

Steve, tell me. What?

I can't tell you.

You know how my luck has been with women.

Look if she's... if she's got a husband

or-or some infectious disease,

or some war crime that she's running from...

Nope, none of the above. Is she gonna reject--

She's gonna reject me, isn't she?

Au contraire, Mohair.

So what, Steve?

Tell me. What?

Hi, baby. Hi.

Hey.

Um, oh, an Officer Mills just called.

Um, and they want you to come down

to the station to I.D. the mugger.

I can't do that.

Well, they just messed up some paperwork, or something.

And they said it'd take, like, two minutes

to look at a line-up.

Well, that's shoddy police work. Can't they call Kelly?

I don't know.

I have to call Kelly.

Wait, Steve. Hey. Hey, wait.

No. No. Where are you going?

She's a nymphomaniac, okay? Katie.

You're on your own.

But be careful-- she eats bigger things than you for breakfast.

Is he acting weird?

He just said she's a nymphomaniac

like that's a bad thing.

(laughing)

Yeah, I'd say he's acting weird.

Yeah.

I got flowers yesterday and this morning a message

saying you're taking me to lunch.

Well, it's National Be Nice to Your Boyfriend Week.

Didn't you know?

I do now. (moans)

(moaning)

(chuckles)

So, where to now?

Rose City Diner.

I don't want to go there.

I-I got what I want. I saw her.

She's just like you, Noah.

Except that she understands herself even less.

You talked to her?

Yeah.

I didn't-I didn't tell her anything.

But you were right.

She has a life of her own and a mom and a stepdad.

Well, good. Then she doesn't need me.

And she's leaving, so it might not be so easy

to find her next time.

Do you know I love you?

Yes.

You know I'd never hurt you.

I know.

So I think that you should go and introduce yourself to her.

And maybe...

Maybe I'm completely wrong here, but...

what if you never get the chance to do it again?

Huh?

(giggles)

(groans anxiously)

Okay, we've got our line-up.

Sorry about the delay.

Um, did Kelly Taylor show up yet?

Ms. Taylor called from her car.

She's stuck in traffic, but we only need one I.D.,

so we're okay.

I think I'm gonna be sick.

Are you okay?

No, I think I got to sit down.

Would you like some water?

I don't think that's gonna do it.

Am I late?

Uh, actually, we had a delay of our own.

Steve's sick.

No problem. We only need one ID.

The report on this guy is somewhere. No one can find it.

Kelly, would you come this way, please?

Uh, okay.

Uh...

(groans)

Steve...

normally, you would take credit for an earthquake

if you thought you could get away with it.

And you're saying

that all this attention doesn't suit you?

No. What I keep saying

is that it's not me.

Why? It's really great.

It's-It's truly heroic.

Yeah, but... I didn't do it.

It wasn't me.

Thank you.

You're a fast eater.

Yeah, I guess I am.

They have the best desserts.

You know, I have a cappuccino machine back at my place

and my roommate isn't home.

I just thought, you know, we could relax, do something.

I can't go to your place.

I can swing at your place. That's cool.

No!

I have a nail appointment.

At, um, 2:30.

A nail appointment?

(chuckles humorlessly)

Hey. Listen. Hey.

I need to talk to you. Okay.

I'm alone. Um...

I just came from the police station.

Janet knows.

So?

Dylan, people know, okay?

You do whatever you need to do,

but I think that I'm going to tell Matt the truth.

About everything?

Yeah, about everything.

About Mexico?

Yeah, I think so.

So, in other words, you and Matt are breaking up.

It's what's best for me, okay?

Yeah, well, think about what's right for us, Kel.

Us?

The way I see it, we're in this thing together.

And I don't really like

the way I've been treating Gina,

so maybe it's time for a change.

Well, don't change for me.

What time is it?

Ten of 3:00.

Rycoff said we'd get the final offer by 3:00.

Oh, 3:00. Is that normal?

I mean, we weren't too tough on him, were we?

Gina, relax, okay?

What's in my hand?

It's confidence. (laughing)

Take some, okay?

Okay, I'm trying.

Wait, you're not out of fax paper, are you?

I mean your fax machine is on and it's working

and you've had it checked recently?

Phone line is fine.

Plenty of fax paper. You?

You have to start believing in yourself, all right?

Right, okay.

When you know what you want, sometimes you got to start

by saying what?

(both, in low register): No!

Right. Oh, yes.

And the same is true in life, as well.

See? You remember.

Yeah, I remember you said that.

Maybe I should be a little less available to Dylan from now on.

(laughs)

(gasps) Okay. Here it is! Here it is!

You get it. No, I'm gonna get it

and read it to you. No, no, you get it and read it to me.

You... Okay, you.

(giggles anxiously): Okay, I'm listening.

Here we go.

(goofily): "Mr. Durning, we regret to inform you

"that Kitty Shavers...

(muted): "We regret to inform you that Kitty Shavers

"has agreed to terms.

Thank you for your interest."

Oh.

I...

But, uh, you said, "Believe in yourself."

You said that I should take a chance.

Right?

That's what you said!

Gina, she was always their first choice,

I mean, asking for more or less

wouldn't necessarily change that.

Matt, what are you talking about?

If we would have said yes to begin with, then maybe...

She would have lowered the fee more quickly.

You don't know that that's true, do you?

I mean, sometimes in life,

people just need to take what they can get.

Not big corporations with millions of dollars.

Well, maybe not them, but me.

I wanted this.

I really wanted this.

You blew it.

I don't see her.

That's that, then.

Two?

Um, actually, we're looking for Rene.

She left early. Got some sort of a deal

on her plane ticket over the internet.

Kind of left me in a jam, thank you very much.

Do you think you can give me her number?

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

It's just not meant to be.

Noah, wait.

Don't be mad.

Look, I'm not mad at you .

I'm just kidding myself thinking something good

might come out of my family,

and I could actually be a part of it.

Sal, can we talk?

(door closes)

Hey.

Why didn't you answer?

How you doing?

I have been looking all over for you.

Yeah, I know-- I got your messages.

You said we need to talk.

What's the matter?

Is...

something wrong with your deal?

Uh, no, there is no deal.

Kitty Shavers signed another three-year contract, so...

I thought you were set?

No. They were just using me as leverage.

Mm. (laughs, sniffles)

It's kind of the story of my life.

The next best thing.

You know, Gina, you don't need that.

You can live without that deal.

Yeah, I know.

Especially since everything else in my life

is so fulfilling. (laughs)

Are you about to tell me what else I can live without?

It's nothing.

(whispers): Come here.

Mm.

I got a strange message from Sal.

Sal? Yeah,

he's the owner of the Rose City Diner.

He said that you wanted to see me.

Yeah, um, I was thinking about you.

If you're asking me out, I can't, because...

I'm leaving for Florida tonight.

Plus, Donna's a really great girl.

(chuckles): I know she is.

Look, don't you think

we kind of look alike a little bit?

I mean, our eyes

or the way we smile?

Uh, yeah, sure we do.

I'm so glad I came by.

Look, there's a reason I'm acting like this, okay?

The reason is, um...

you're my sister.

Say that again, because I thought you just said

that I was your sister.

Well, your biological father and my father,

they're the same guy.

Maybe I shouldn't have told you.

(laughs): You've got to be kidding me.

I've got a brother?

Listen, I'm not telling you this 'cause I want you to stay

or I want to mess with your life in any way.

I just want you to know, wherever you go,

whatever you do, you've got a brother...

right here.

Okay?

Yeah.

Come here.

I don't even know how to tell you this, but, uh...

I'm not a hero.

I wasn't even there.

I don't understand.

Why wouldn't your friend want to take the credit?

Because he likes his privacy.

So if you want

to change your son's name, I'll understand.

Steve's not exactly the name of a hero.

Of course it is.

It's also the name of my husband.

Oh, we're all packed up.

Hey,

you're the guy...

JACKIE: Um, sugar bear?

Can you give us a minute?

Sure.

That was my Steve.

Now I have two: a big and a little.

Steves are nice.

I like them.

You should hang on to yours.

Hear that?

You should hang on to yours.

(laughs)

(knocking)

Hey.

Hi.

Uh, Kelly isn't here, so...

I know; she left me a message. I'm gonna meet her later.

But, uh... we never opened this.

Yeah. We didn't really have a reason.

Well, maybe we do.

Okay.

I'll drink.

What are we celebrating?

Um... I want to offer you a job.

A job? Yeah. You know,

around my office, just filing, maybe some research.

There's plenty of stuff to do-- I figure you can

probably make back your Skating Channel money

in about six, seven years.

(laughs)

Great.

Uh, look, Matt,

I know it wasn't your fault.

Uh, no, no, no, Gina, this is not out of guilt, believe me.

I just, I'm-I'm worried you're taking some lesson from this,

and if it's the one that you're not worth much,

well, that's the wrong one.

Well, the jobs aren't exactly rolling in for me right now.

I'm talking about your life.

Okay? At my office, you wondered if you should say no

to Dylan more often.

Dylan isn't exactly pushing for more from me.

Then maybe you should push him away.

Believe me, it would be his loss.

(rock music playing)

Katie.

Hi. I wasn't sure

you got my message-- thanks for coming down here.

Actually, I'm on my way to the airport. How are you?

I'm fine.

I kind of wanted to talk about yesterday.

So did I, actually.

Yeah? You want to sit?

You know what? I can't.

I'm really in a hurry.

Come on. Huh?

Okay.

(exhales): David...

I bite my nails, I hate manicures,

and I ended our date early the other night because I'm...

Okay, you know, this was a bad idea.

I know.

I, uh, I-I know about your problem with sex.

Steve told you.

He was trying to do the right thing.

It's kind of been a hobby for him lately.

Well, I guess that saves me from having to admit it.

So what do you want to know?

I wanted to know if you would go out with me again.

Just for a nice, leisurely dinner.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'd like that a lot.

You sure you won't be violating your recovery or anything?

(laughs)

Sexual Dependents Anonymous

has helped me understand myself so much better.

(chuckles)

It's been a long time since...

Well, you know.

No kidding.

A really, really long time.

(laughs)

And I'm feeling much...

healthier now.

I'd like to move forward, David.

And I'd like to do it with you.

Hey. I got your message.

Can we talk? Yeah. You want to...

you want to go for a ride or...? No.

Well...

what's on your mind?

The other day--

the morning that Jackie Michaels had her baby...

Yeah?

I wasn't with Steve, I was with Dylan.

We lied to everybody.

You lied to me.

Why?

It was so stupid.

I didn't want to hurt you.

Do you want to tell me how you might have?

I just, I didn't want you to worry.

We ran into each other,

we sat in my car and had coffee and talked.

You talked-- and after you talked, what?

Nothing happened.

Nothing.

Nothing happened?

No, nothing happened, huh?

Except you got Steve in on it, and Janet.

And what, huh?

A few more intense moments with Dylan to go over

the little game plan, is that it? No.

We were never playing a game.

Why do you hang on to him?

Huh? What, do you enjoy it?

He... he's my friend.

He's your friend-- well, if that were true,

you wouldn't need to lie to me, would you?

You're not making it very easy to tell the truth right now.

Point taken.

So, if I run into him, and we end up alone,

you want me to tell you, is that it?

I'll get jealous, I don't know.

But you want me to tell you the truth, right?

Kelly, of course I want you to tell me the truth, okay?

And let me tell you the truth.

The idea of you two spending time together, I don't like it.

Hi.

How'd you find me?

Your girlfriend said that you were opening up.

Girlfriend.

I guess the breakup didn't go so well.

I may not know what kind of relationship I'm capable of,

but I do know that Gina is the only one who can deal with me.

How'd it go with Matt?

He was angry,

but we'll work through it.

I didn't tell him about Mexico.

Do you feel better?

Sort of.

So... you're still together,

and it looks like we are in the same boat.

Not really.

I'm with somebody that I love and want to be with.

I don't know what you're doing.

Well...

neither do I.
