All right, feel those biceps,

baby.

That's five straight days of gym time.

Ooh, yeah, dude, you're getting huge.

Oh, yeah, well, it's the only good thing

about my suspension from practicing.

Think of it as a vacation.

Very unpaid, unfulfilling one.

Aw.

- Oh, it was in! - It was right there.

What is going on here?

Well, since we're both home alone

on a perfect date night...

Again. We've, uh, instituted

the Losers' Club.

It's more of a support group, really.

We talk about being single, properties of being single.

And, in fact, Matt,

we were just discussing how you've been holding out on us.

- Yeah, Matt. - Yeah, I'm sure you know

a few hunky corporate lawyers.

Cute stenographer. What's going on, man?

Ah, fix-ups, right.

Well, I'll thumb through the Rolodex tomorrow.

Until then, good night, losers.

Whoa, hey, members are

the only people that are allowed to use that term, all right?

- Oh, Kel. Everardo stopped by - What?

The store today, and he wanted me to ask you

if you've talked to Matt yet.

Oh. I totally forgot.

Courtyard janitor Everardo?

Yeah, he hurt his back at his day job last year,

and I told him that maybe

you could give him some legal advice.

- Well, technically I can't. - Not even a conversation?

He could really use your help.

All right, well, um... I have to pick up some stuff

at the office tomorrow, so tell him to stop by then.

Okay, all aboard.

Ooh! Good night!

Catch you in the gym, David.

Don't they just make you want to...?

- Yep. - Eh.

Nice!

- Nice one. - Sailed right in. Oh!

Honey!

Jennifer Lopez just asked me where I got my shoes.

Come on, what's wrong with you?

We're at the opening of the coolest club in Los Angeles.

I don't know why you invited me if you're gonna be all grouchy.

Invitation said "plus one."

You're beautiful.

Check out Noah and his tragic posse.

The, uh, tab's $1,500, buddy.

How do you plan on paying for that?

Yeah, I set up an account with Joe,

under the name Dylan McKay.

♪ Hey, baby, I need your love... ♪

Someone's looking for a boyfriend.

- Who's she? - I don't know.

She's a friend of Noah's.

She's a friend of Noah's?

They each have their own bottle of Cristal.

I sent that over.

Free champagne for strangers and compliments for me...

What's with all the generosity?

It's easy to be nice to people you don't care about.

I meant the champagne.

Names?

Uh...

Gina Kincaid. Dylan McKay.

You two together?

Current status: Unknown.

Got it.

You can take me off your guest list.

Hi-Bar. Heard you have to sell your firstborn to get in there.

Me and Dylan are hanging out

with the lamest, trendiest crowd.

I'm worried about him... He's not returning my calls.

- Is he okay? - Yeah, he's just...

he's enjoying his role

as social chair.

Oh, you and Dylan look cozy.

Yeah, that was a second before I left.

I am not getting sucked back in again by him.

He does that. Oh. I guess you know that.

Heh. Oh, look, it's only

9:30, and already I'm compelled to tell you to shut up.

Donna, I'm going to the post office.

Okay. Uh, when you get back, we have to talk about resigning

the store's lease... It's due at the end of the week.

Are they still pushing for three years?

- Mm, I tried for shorter; no deal. - All right.

- We'll talk about it tonight. - Okay.

- Bye. - Bye.

So that's what Matt's doing

with his suspension time... He's pimping out his friends?

We have to meet people somehow.

And, by the way, sister set-ups are completely welcomed.

Yeah?

Hi. Uh, I was just paged,

and my cell's dead.

Would you mind?

The phone? Right there.

Is that you, Jerry?

Yeah, this is Jerry.

- MTR Net... - MTR Net what?

- Want to get in on the IPO? - Do you have a pen?

You still there?

- No, no, I'm-I'm still here. - Great.

- Yeah. - They want to meet today.

They want in, let 'em in.

I can fly up to Palo Alto tomorrow, if need be.

That's great. I'll talk to them.

Right.

Thanks so much.

I'm Donna, by the way.

- Jerry Young. Hi. - I'm Gina.

- Hi. - Hi.

Hi. Nice to meet you. Thanks again.

Hey, uh, you want to try something on?

- We have men's sweaters and... - I sh-should

really get going, it's...

Nice to meet you.

You, too.

- See you. - Bye.

This is gonna seem really forward.

Are you free tonight?

Free? Yeah, I'm free.

That's an understatement.

This is her phone number.

Her last name's Martin.

Tonight it is.

- I'll call you. - Great.

Did that just happen?

Yes, thanks to me.

Hey, let's call Matt and tell him he's been replaced.

Before I hire a nanny, I want you

to meet my husband.

He's doing a stupid alien thing for his tabloid paper.

Just so you know, this is going to be

an everyday occurrence.

Fine with me.

I love tabloids.

- Well, bye, guys. - Bye.

Have a nice day, now.

So, when does she start?

She doesn't.

Why not? Her credentials are amazing.

You know, I think we should

- bring her back in for a second interview. - If you guys are

going to force me to be superficial and catty,

so be it.

Darby is cute.

So?

I hate cute, okay?

I hate her cute, perky little bob and-and her...

and her perky little smile and her perky boobs.

She's annoying.

I just don't want to share

my house and-and my child with her, okay?

We're not hiring Darby.

Honey, that doesn't make sense.

Wait a second.

Are you worried that I'd fool around with the nanny?

- Get over yourself. - Oh, so wait,

now you're saying she wouldn't be attracted to me.

Of course she would, honey.

And so will the ladies from Grandmas and More.

Um, they place retirees with young families,

and that's who we're gonna use.

And Durning,

you're dripping on my floor.

Sorry.

Hey, Dylan.

Come eat with me.

I'm kind of in a rush, Kel.

You can eat and leave.

Huh.

Haven't seen you since Maddy's baptism.

How are things?

Good. Busy.

Yeah? I know. Club-hopping.

Well, then you needn't ask.

Gina showed us the picture in the Chronicle.

Who's the new crowd?

Oh, just people.

People. Hm.

Um, listen, we were all thinking

about going up to the Hollywood sign.

Donna and David said they haven't been there

since graduation... You want to come?

Uh, I think I'll pass.

How about next week?

Probably busy.

Yeah. If you're too busy for us...

I'm a busy guy.

Can I get some service here, please?

Oh. Hey, I need to talk to you.

You know what?

Ladies, I'm not really in the mood for conversation.

I came here for a tuna melt.

Then I won't keep you.

Oh. Well, I'll see you...

You know, I've watched her do that a thousand

times, and it just gets more and more satisfying.

- Yeah. I'll see you. - No. Wait.

I want to apologize about last night.

Because... my old agent called...

You know Mia Stockman, right?

- No. - Yeah, sure you do. She's the ex-Wimbledon champ.

You know, the one who's opening up the chain

of fitness clubs in L.A.

Anyway, it doesn't matter.

She's looking for female athletes

to help with the, uh, publicity thing,

and she saw this.

Guess what I'd get in return for my spokesman duties.

A cut of the profits.

We're having a meeting at the end of the week

- to iron out the details. - So you want to thank me now,

or you want to thank me later?

Well, I was thinking that maybe, you know,

we could hang out at the After Dark,

because I heard that Noah booked Nu Flavor.

Mm, I don't know, I got some people coming by.

Oh, good, so you mean

that we could hang out with you

and 50 of your closest friends again?

You want to go or not?

Pick me up at 10:00.

According to your initial complaint,

Williams Foods refused to remove

any of the surplus shipping crates from the stockroom.

I said it was dangerous; they said

it wasn't none of my business, until they fell.

Okay, now, that was last January, and...

I'm not seeing any motions ever filed on your behalf.

I had some other crook lawyer telling me that

we could both retire if I pretended I couldn't work.

I said no, so they dropped me.

Everardo...

do you know what a statute of limitations is?

It's a window of time allowed for someone to file a case.

Now, in on-the-job injuries, that window is one year.

Yours is up in two days.

Man, my back keeps getting worse.

I already made a dozen calls to other attorneys,

and no one is available for a referral.

I didn't want another attorney, anyway.

You seem hard-working, honest.

All I want to do is pay my hospital bills.

Everardo, I can't take the case.

I'm sorry.

That's what the manager at Williams said, too.

Look what "sorry" got me.

Can we talk?

Jerry stood me up.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Who's Jerry?

Jerry.

Jerry's this gorgeous mystery guy

that came into the store today,

borrowed the phone, promised he'd call me,

and I was going to have his kids.

Oh, I mean, not today

but after we got married on some beach in Mexico.

What's this?

Oh, I was trying to find out how certification

- for teen counseling works. - Hmm.

Something tells me my name's going to be

the only one on the store lease.

I was just exploring my options.

Do you remember when you, me, and Brenda spent the beginning

of our junior year at West Beverly making sure

that our class schedules matched?

Yes.

I ended up with Mr. Silvera's geometry.

It's the first time we all went our different ways.

We cried for like a week.

But we survived.

You've been thinking about this for a long time.

You'll be fine on your own.

So will I.

Will we always be friends?

Of course.

I mean all of us.

I ran into Dylan today, and he made it very clear

that he wants nothing to do with me.

Yeah, Noah's been doing the same thing.

Just makes me sad.

Well, a lot of good things are happening, too.

You found this great guy, and you're engaged.

Oh, look at this.

I found that under my bed.

Check out Dylan's hair.

Look at Steve.

Oh, my God,

Steve Sanders is a father.

We've all been friends for so long.

Too long to just let go.

Well, I don't think I have any more questions,

although I do want that recipe for banana bread.

Of course.

So I'll just wait to hear from you?

Um, well, we've made our decision, Angie.

You're hired.

Wonderful.

Um, I wonder if I could see the little dear.

Oh, of course.

Are you sure about this?

She smells like VapoRub.

There's our girl.

Oh, hi.

Excellent.

The dimensions are perfect.

Now, when can we start the smudging?

- The smudging? - Oh, I'll cleanse

the room with a bundle of smoldering sage.

That way, no demons can enter.

Steve.

Yeah, um, Angie, I don't think

we'll be needing your services after all, or your smudging.

So you say.

I'll see my... myself out.

Hmm.

Okay, so I'll call the agency

and have them send over another stack of résumés.

We don't have time.

You have an article due,

and I'm three days behind in getting this issue laid out.

And you can shove the banana bread recipe.

Great.

Fine, hire that damn Darby.

Hello, Maddy.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Guess who I talked to last night.

Matt's friend Chrissy.

A lawyer named Chrissy?

How does she get any clients?

First thing that comes to mind is Three's Company.

She finished law school at 23.

- Geek. - She's really funny.

How cool is this?

She surfs every morning.

So she's funny and smart and successful

and thank you, Matt.

Yeah, we're meeting tonight.

That's great, that's really good for you.

'Cause Jerry didn't call me.

- Oh, no? - No, completely blew me off,

so let's not talk about Chrissy.

I guess the Losers' Club is down to one,

and I'm feeling a candy binge coming on.

What, are you just here to gloat?

Uh, no, actually, I'm... I'm looking for Noah.

I was wondering if maybe you've seen him.

You know, when he moved in,

he said he'd pay half the utilities,

and I'm kind of hoping to collect.

No, he's avoiding me.

Gina said he's been going out a lot, though.

Do you know if he's drinking?

Honestly, I haven't really seen him in action enough

to be able to say.

Donna,

I am so sorry about last night.

My board meeting ran late.

Oh, hi. I'm sorry, we're, uh, closed for lunch...

Brunch, whatever.

You must be Jerry.

- I'm David. - Hi.

- Hey. - I'm in big trouble, huh?

- Little bit, yeah. - Donna,

last night, the moment my meeting was over, I ran to get

my car, the sprinklers came on,

totally nailed me.

When I finally tried to reach you,

this is what I found in my pocket.

The ink ran everywhere.

If it makes you feel any better, people thought I wet my pants.

You got to give him credit for trying.

David, you, I like.

Oh, good.

Can I make it up to you?

Fine.

Here is my number... again...

Along with a waterproof laundry pen.

It's a gift.

- Tonight? - Tonight.

- David. - Jerry.

- That was Jerry. - Oh, yeah.

- Hey. - Hi.

What happened?

I was looking forward to the pasta primavera.

Yeah, so was I, but I can't stop staring at this cookbook.

I talked to Donna today.

- Hmm? - I'm out of the store.

Really? How'd she handle it?

She was very supportive.

Well, that's great. Let's go out and celebrate.

Yeah, now I just have to figure out

what I'm gonna do with the rest of my life.

You can agonize on our way to Orso.

Come on, I'll grab your coat.

Why are you so late?

Uh, well, I was on a conference call

with the attorneys at Williams Foods, discussing

Everardo Perez, my new client.

Matt, you're suspended.

You could get in trouble for that.

No, it'll be fine.

Besides, I persuaded them

to mediate at their offices tomorrow.

What if the Bar finds out?

They're not going to find out.

Mediation's different from litigation.

No courtrooms involved, very low profile.

No one will ever know.

So you're risking your career?

- Everardo needs me. - Okay, I'm gonna go ahead

and sign that lease because we need some kind of security.

Kelly, listen to me.

You don't belong at that store anymore.

Okay? I will take care of us

while you figure out what's next.

- I know that, I... - And no more excuses.

Okay?

I want you to trust me.

Okay.

Let's go eat, all right?

- It's quite the party limo, thanks. - Yeah.

Having fun?

Sure, the more the merrier.

Yeah.

What do we got here?

Ooh, share the wealth, come on.

Hey, not in my car.

What?

Last week we're having sex on your wet bar,

and now you're acting like my dad?

Nice.

Nice girl.

- Come on, we need some champagne. - We need something,

- don't we? - Pop that bad boy open.

Come on, come on.

- Yeah, whoo! - There we go.

Yes.

- Oh! - Yeah!

Noah, hey, I need to talk to you.

I can't, I'll see you inside.

That was my roommate.

- He's a popular guy. - Yeah.

Do I look like a spokesperson to you now?

Well, actually, I think Mia would be proud.

You know, I mean, grace under pressure and all that.

Just go inside; you're going to miss the band.

- I don't want you... - Oh, I can wait.

Come here, come here.

- There you go, champ. - Dylan, that's not helping.

That's not how you pat a girl's face.

Look, you're gonna have to go inside,

because I'm not going to go in there like this.

And I... you know what?

I don't even want to go in there with you.

What do you think about that?

Hey, Fred.

How about I take a ride in the car

and you go get yourself some dinner... my treat?

Yeah, right. I just paid off this car.

Let me rephrase that.

Hey, Fred, how about you go get some dinner,

I give you a thousand bucks?

You've got till midnight.

Okay, so come on.

- You feel like a little joyride? - No.

- Come on, let's take... - I don't feel like a little joyride.

Let's take a little joyride.

- I don't want to go on a little joyride. - Come on, it'll be fun.

It'll be fun.

Well, let me put your coat on.

My, uh, company does headhunting via the Web.

We're, um, getting ready to go public.

- That's huge. - I know.

I keep waiting for someone to knock

on my office door and say, "We were just kidding.

Go back to your programming job in Van Nuys."

Would you mind if I kissed you?

Oh, come on.

It's my secretary.

I'll be right back.

Okay.

All right, let's hear it for Nu Flavor, come on.

I got to get back to Chrissy.

- How is she? - Get this.

I get to her house, right, she's not ready.

So she sits me down on the couch, puts the game on,

and offers me a cold beer.

Oh, you're pretty much in love.

Yep, pretty much.

So, how do you think this big boy'll do on Mulholland?

So is that who you replaced me with...

That worn-out skank with the coke spoon up her nose?

That was just a one-time thing.

Oh, right, that's why you spend every single night

with her and her friends.

You know they're just using you for your money, right?

And what... what's Noah... your new best friend?

Hardly. Maybe I just need a break

from people who make demands on me.

Oh, like who, Dylan?

Who makes demands on you?

- Everybody. - Aw.

Steve and Janet are constantly...

Yeah, they're horrible.

Bitching I'm not a good godfather.

Kelly... she just sits and waits for me to make a mistake,

and then there's young David, who spent the last few months

preaching how I don't treat you good enough.

- Well... - Those people, they don't give me anything...

I know that... But they don't expect anything.

Oh, they expect a free ride, and you give it to 'em.

Eh, it's only money, and I'm done talking about it.

Will you take me home?

- Yeah. - Okay.

Uh...

Oh, damn it.

Well, pull over.

All right, just be cool, just relax.

Hi.

License and registration.

Well, yeah, I do... I got a license, but, uh,

the car's a loaner.

Would you both please exit the vehicle?

Yeah.

Anyone in back?

Uh, no, it's just us.

Here, look.

That's a lot of cocaine.

That is not ours.

Of course not. Would you please step

over to the vehicle and clasp your hands

behind your head?

- Excuse me. - You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will

be used against you in a court of law.

You have the right to an attorney and to have

the attorney present during questioning.

If you so desire...

Hi there.

Nice jacket.

Going somewhere?

Well, well, well,

if it isn't eligible bachelorette number one.

Sounds like you and David hit it off.

David's great.

- Thanks for the introduction. - Yeah.

But I'm gonna put that on the back burner

until I get something resolved.

Oh, yeah, with who?

With the guy who introduced us.

Last year, I was appointed to the Bar's ethics committee.

Yeah, I know.

Sent you that beefcake calendar

and a bottle of Blue Nun, remember?

That was funny, but that's not why I'm here.

David casually mentioned that you were still practicing.

A workman's comp case.

Really?

Well, maybe he misunderstood my level of involvement.

Are you helping this guy or not?

If you so much as lick a stamp on his behalf,

I have to report you on violating your suspension.

I'm sure that would be tough for you, Chrissy,

since we're friends and all.

And as your friend, I am asking you

to not put me in that position.

If you're involved in this, get out.

I hear you, Chrissy, loud and clear.

All right, well, thanks for stopping by.

See you.

No, I... Just listen to me.

I would never lie to a police officer.

I mean, the car... We borrowed it, you know?

And the drugs definitely were not ours.

The car was in your control; that equals possession.

You're awfully quiet.

Did you get in touch with Matt?

He's suspended.

Our lawyer is unavailable.

The instinct is to cut back on the chitchat.

You gonna charge us, or what?

As a violation of your probation,

I could haul you to jail right now.

So, why don't you?

We've been keeping tabs on your friends.

One of them is trafficking over $2 million a year in narcotics.

We want to know who he is.

Would you settle for a she?

I'm listening.

I don't know her name.

What do you mean, you don't know

her name? You make me so sick.

Of course you know her name.

Oh, you two can bicker, or I can call your probation officer

and he can haul you off to county.

Now, you make the decision.

Um... give me an hour.

For now, Maddy can sleep in the bassinet in our room

and you can stay in the nursery.

Yeah, you'll have Wednesday and Friday nights off,

as well as all day Sunday.

Any questions?

I don't think so, Mr. Sanders.

- Oh, please call us Steve and Janet. - Yeah.

I'll try, but I was raised to respect my elders.

Darby, we're not your elders.

Whe-When did you go to college?

I finished up CU in '98.

You went to CU?

I went to CU.

We probably bumped trays in the cafeteria.

Maybe.

Huh, what a small world.

Large coffee to go.

Hey.

Good morning.

- Hey, Noah. - Hey.

Oh, um, Noah, meet, um, Darby Shahan.

She's Madeline's new nanny.

Darby, this is Noah Hunter.

- A pleasure. - Yeah.

Why don't I, uh, make myself Darby's welcoming committee

and I'll take you out tomorrow night?

There's a great club next door.

Uh, Noah, can, can I talk to you for a second,

- please? - Yeah.

Don't even think about it.

I'm just being neighborly.

Yeah, I hear you're being neighborly all over town.

Look at you.

I am just having fun, Steve.

Remember what it's like to be young and single?

Yeah, I do, but you know how long it took us to find Darby?

I can't have you breaking her heart and sending her packing.

Do you know how sweet and innocent she is?

Steve, I will behave, I promise.

All right, but I want you back by 1:00, and no touching,

and you have to stay in group situations at all times.

Am I making myself clear?

Yes, Grandpa.

He used to live with Steve,

and he dated a really good friend of ours.

He's really sweet.

You'll have a good time.

I'm already nervous.

Really? Don't be. He seems like he likes you.

That's not it.

I don't want to make a fool out of myself.

How would you do that?

I'm a little embarrassed to talk about this, but...

I wasn't brought up that way.

Well, okay, let me just make this really clear, okay?

You don't have to do anything on that date

that you don't want to.

Trust me, I haven't.

Ever.

All right, um, I'll see you guys later.

Janet. Darby, I will call you.

Okay.

All right.

- Hey. - What's your problem?

My problem? I was in jail all night.

One of your friends left

coke in the limo, and a cop found it.

So how is that my fault?

One of your friends is dealing it, Noah.

They're not my friends, man.

It's none of my business.

I'm saying it is. What's her name?

Come on, the girl, what's her name?

Josie, okay?

The one you slept with.

Her last name.

Come on, Noah, give me the name!

Oliver... Josie Oliver.

You didn't hear it from me.

Not now, Kel.

Dylan, wait.

Donna said she saw something in the Chronicle.

Were you arrested last night?

- Yeah. - She said they found

drugs in your car.

Yes, they did. But I'm not using 'em.

So you can cancel the intervention, okay?

I'm just here because I care about what happens to you.

No, Kelly, you're here 'cause I don't want to go to

some stupid group picnic at the Hollywood sign.

Don't talk to me that way, Dylan.

Hello.

Hi.

How was the mediation?

Great. Whole thing took about an hour.

Williams Foods cut Everardo a check for 10,000 smackeroonies.

Oh.

Chalk one up for the good guys.

Congratulations.

I needed some good news. I've had a bad day.

- Why, what happened? - Nothing new.

Dylan was a jerk.

But I don't want to ruin the moment by talking about him.

- Let's get some coffee. - Right.

- You know you got a message on your machine here? - Ooh.

Hey, Kel, it's me. I'm leaving to meet Jerry.

Such boyfriend potential there.

Anyway, um, I was going to mail off the store lease,

but noticed you forgot to date it next to your signature

so I fudged it myself.

Is that illegal? I don't know. Bye.

What was that all about?

I thought we agreed you weren't going to sign the lease.

It was a tough decision.

Now how long are you stuck here?

Three years.

Three years?

What about exploring your options?

I did it for both of us.

No, don't say you did it for both of us,

because I was very clear on how I felt about this.

Okay, fine, I did it for me. I got cold feet. You happy?

No, I'm not happy.

Kelly, until you stop trying to control things

a-and start having faith that change isn't such a bad thing,

you know what, you're not going to be happy either.

I love this place.

It's where my grandparents got engaged.

Are you kidding?

1947.

He was just back from the war.

Wow.

Want to dance?

I'd love to.

You cheating bastard!

- Kimberly... - My meeting let out early.

I got home just in time to watch you pull out of the driveway.

You're seeing someone else?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. He married someone else.

But not for long.

We're through.

That's for lying to me.

And that's for making me believe in you.

Hey, Chrissy.

Three Williams Foods employees called

the Bar this afternoon.

Interesting.

Well, uh, I'm late for an appointment,

so I gotta...

They were looking for referrals

on the heels of a recent $10,000 settlement.

Your settlement, I presume.

I couldn't drop that client.

There are always other options.

Come on, Chrissy.

Would you have had time to squeeze in a mediation for a

measly ten grand?

No lawyer around was gonna take that case.

You violated my trust and the rules of our profession.

The trust thing I apologize for.

It's not enough. I have to report you.

I can't believe Chrissy had your suspension

upped to 60 days.

Say "two months." It sounds shorter.

She's definitely off the invite list.

And no more setups for David.

Well, it's not his fault.

Regardless of what happened to me,

Everardo still keeps his settlement money, so...

You're a hero.

Keep that in mind when they print my name

in the Suspensions and Probations page

of the Bar Journal.

Hmm, what about your clients?

A humiliating letter will go out to them

in a few days.

They're free to take

their business elsewhere, if they want to.

They won't.

I'm kinda having a hard time right now.

All of a sudden, this group that I've known

for so long is growing up, and friends are pulling away.

I just want to yank them back in,

keep everything the way it was, you know?

Mm-hmm.

I think staying at the store is a part of that.

Well, if that's what you need, I'll be supportive.

Mmm, no, I have to grow up, too,

starting with getting out of that lease.

I've got to talk to Donna in the morning.

Did you feel that?

What?

Your life just moved ahead.

Kinda scary.

It's like swinging through the air without a safety net.

Well, stick with me, kid.

You'll learn to love it.

I'm cold.

- You're cold? - Mm-hmm.

Oh, stop it. There's no way

you could have known Jerry was married.

I am never, ever letting strange men in my store again.

Why aren't you out with Chrissy tonight?

After Matt told me what she did to him,

I really didn't want to see her again.

Get this: She understood.

You know, some weeping or begging would have been nice.

Well, I think funny, successful

and athletic are highly overrated.

Highly. Mm-hmm.

So, what do you want to do?

You want to get some Chinese food or catch a movie?

I got a better idea.

Oh.

Open up!

Ow!

- You're bad at this. Open up. - Well, so?

You didn't get 'em. You didn't get any of 'em.

- None of them at all. - I don't know if I want...

Fed,

changed and happy.

Is that right, Maddy?

I was talking about us.

You know that Darby,

she's, uh, she's working out okay.

She's pretty great.

Yeah, if she's so great,

I'm actually rethinking my stand on cute.

Oh, yeah?

She, uh, picked up a new dress for her date tonight

at the Beverly Center.

- Really? - Mm-hmm.

Well, I had a little conversation with Noah.

He's aware that the nanny is to be seen and not touched.

Hmm, thank you.

I don't know why I'm so protective of her.

Well, Darby's like family.

You've bonded.

Yeah, I guess.

She was so nervous about her date tonight.

I hope

the Peach Pit After Dark's not too wild for her.

Hey, we've gotta go.

Oh, no, no, no, just one more song.

I-I told Steve I'd have you home by 1:00.

We'll take the limo.

- You have a limo? - Mm-hmm.

12-person stretch right out front.

Mm... sounds big.

Yeah, it is.

Then I'd love to see it.

Let's go. Come on.

More bad news for restaurant owners

in the Southland, following a local station's

investigative report on sanitary conditions.

- Yes! - Inspectors...

Oh, great.

Hey, did I wake you?

- No. - Oh.

Listen, uh, Noah gave me the name of the dealer, so...

Was it your girlfriend?

They dropped the charges.

Oh, good, well, that's one less thing I have to worry about.

What?

Mia Stockman's people called.

I'm off the gym campaign.

What?

Yesterday's Chronicle.

Nice picture, right?

So, what's the big deal?

I'll call the paper, and they'll print a retraction.

I already thought of that brilliant idea, Dylan.

I called Mia.

It seems that she's already given it to Michelle Kwan.

I guess her image is tamer.

More fitness-friendly.

I'll tell you what. You want a gym?

I will buy you a gym.

- No, you won't. - Oh, yes, I will.

I've got the money, you name your price.

You want me to name my price? I really would like you to stay

out of my life. I mean, for good this time, you know?

Because as much as I like having you in it,

you always screw things up for me.

- Gina... - No, I'm not getting

sucked back in, Dylan.

Just...

just go away.

Good night.

What the hell are you doing here?

The maid was turning down your bed.

I hope you don't mind.

I ate your chocolates.

Why don't you get out?

Cops with search warrants were by

my sister's apartment this morning.

Do you know what that means?

Did you hear what I said?

Two kilos of blow went down the L.A. sewer system.

I heard you pointed her out, Dylan.

That was a big mistake.

Oh, you were fantastic.

We got to pull it together. We're two hours late.

- Ah... - Steve is gonna kill me. He's gonna kill you.

Let's just keep this between us, okay?

Oh, you better believe it.

- Oh! - Darby, I gotta tell ya...

that was one heck of a floor routine.

You're not so bad yourself, stud.

Oh, my God.

Hey, let's go. Come on.

- Wait. Okay. - Oh...

Whoo! Hey, come here.

I gotta go. Come on.

Okay.

Well!

Sorry we're late.

Lost a contact lens at the club.

Did you have a nice time, Noah?

Yeah, she's a great girl.

Mm-hmm, well, okay then.

Yes.

Noah! Noah!

You seduced her, didn't ya?

Steve, I didn't...

Oh, come on! Fess up. Fess up.

You got that I-slept-with-the-nanny look

written all over your face.

Come on. Details, details!

Steve, listen.

I'm listening.

We're driving home, okay?

Yeah?

I'm minding my own business...

- Yeah? - And she wants

to pull over to the mini mart.

So we do.

She comes back with whipped cream and chocolate syrup.

Oh!

First thing I'm thinking is, "Where's the ice cream?"

Yeah, I'm sure that's the first thing

you're thinking. Come on! Come on!

Man, we did things in that limo I have never dreamed of.

She called me Hercules.

She called you Hercules?

Listen, she was a gymnast.

Did you know that?

CU gymnastic team?

Yes.

Did you say chocolate syrup?

And whipped cream, too.

Oh, man, that reminds me of this girl I knew in school.

Oh, she was out of control!

She gave me this nasty hicky.

It's Darby. Oh, my God.

What?

I did the nanny.

You got problems, buddy.

You really do.

Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy.
