Hey.

You better get going.

Don't you have surgery this morning? Oh,
hey, baby. You know what? I'm not going

to go in today.

What are you talking about? What about
our deal? You were going to work double

shifts, and I was going to work overtime
so I could pay off her debt. Yeah,

right. But, you know, I'm having a
little problem at the hospital.

How little?

Well, don't get mad, okay? But I've been
suspended.

What? Yeah, one of the nurses in the
hospital filed a complaint against me.

I knew it. Michael, was it that nurse
that I saw at the hospital that was

straightening your tie and laughing at
your stupid joke?

Yeah, and she claims I sexually harassed
her.

And did you?

No, of course not, Jane.

The woman's a psycho. She's got some
sort of fatal attraction thing.

Oh, God, Michael. How stupid do you
think I am?

All those nights you told me you were
out working late or you were too tired

sex? Jane, will you please stop hitting
me? I didn't cheat on you, I swear.

Honestly, I've changed.

Oh, yeah, you've changed, all right.
You're worse than before. You can't even

keep your damn pants up past the
honeymoon. God, I can't even stand to

you. You're despicable. Ow!

Ow!

Morning,

Jane. Hi, Ryan.

Death? Oh, I didn't want you to see me,
right? I was going to sneak up and

surprise you.

Yeah, surprise, all right. What's the
occasion?

Since when do I need an occasion to hang
out with my boys, huh?

Right. Well, your other boys upstairs
are going to have four on the end.

I got to run now. Hey, where are you
heading off to so fast?

We'll go see your brother, do some
catching up. I'm running late for work.

But he's up there with Amanda. You know
he got remarried, right?

Yeah, I...

Well, we keep in touch, all right?

We'll see you later.

Wait, wait.

You come home early.

We'll grab a couple beers. We'll yak
about all times, huh?

See you later.

Morning.

Morning.

Do you want me to make you breakfast?

I thought I was the cook around here.

Oh, I didn't mean... I mean...

Of course, you can make it.

No.

No, I'm not really hungry.

Whoever it is, I'll get rid of them very
fast.

Wow.

You're not too hard to look at, are you?

Who the hell are you?

Pop?

Do you? Ah, you must be Amanda. I'm Mac
McBride. Oh, it's a pleasure to meet

you. No, no.

My pleasure.

You know, now that Kyle has finally
found himself a real lady, let's hope it

makes him a real gentleman. And what
would you know about being a real

gentleman? Hey, take a lesson, Kyle.

What are you doing here?

Ah, your mom. She went to visit her
sister. And you know how much I love

charming gal.

So I figured I'd come see you.

You know what? I'm going to give Ryan a
call. I'll get him up here.

No, no, no. Forget it. Forget it. I
already ran into him.

He had a runoff, jumping through hoops
for some slave -driving boss.

That would be me.

No. No, no, say that ain't so.

Ryan is one of my key players. I
couldn't run my company without him.

Oh, it takes a strong hand to run a
company.

I know my way around the boardroom.

How about a bedroom? You got a bun in
the oven yet?

Come on, Pop.

Wait. Come on, what are you doing? Stop.

Not yet, but we're working on it. Ah, I
never doubted that, darling.

Now, if you could point me toward the
head, I clean up pretty good, like a

gent. Yeah, right through there. Oh,
thank you.

I like him.

He's a good guy. No nonsense.

And I've always been able to lean on him
when I needed help.

You love him?

Yeah.

I think that everything is going to be
okay.

I'll be caught in a dream of tangled
memories

and water.

You are here and I'm

okay.

Yeah. I'm here for the rent check.

Um, Peter dropped it in the mail.

I hope that's not a problem.

No, of course not.

Good.

Can I come in?

Yeah, sure.

For what it's worth, I wish I hadn't
encouraged you to lie to Peter about

past.

God, is that an apology?

I'm admitting I made a mistake, okay?

All right, I apologize.

You're my oldest friend. I don't want to
keep fighting with you. It's not even

all your fault anyway.

I could have told Peter the truth so
many times.

I just couldn't quite figure out how to
say, guess what, honey?

I have been in prison for 15 years for
murder.

I never kept a secret yet that didn't
turn around and bite me. You'd think I'd

learn. Well, you are kind of hard
-headed. Yeah, and controlling and

a bitch.

Go ahead, say it.

Yes, but a good bitch.

Oh, I promise I will never come between
you and Peter again.

Oh, good.

You're sitting down.

Promise not to fly off the handle when I
tell you this.

Why, what did you do? Did you run over
my dream date with your car or

No, no, it's nothing at all, really.
It's just that I sort of had to tell

that I was helping you look for Mr.
Wright. You did what?

You told him about my project? There was
nothing else I could do. He thought I

was hooking again. You know, all the
guys coming to the building. My 800

That's great. He's probably bludged it
all over Amanda's office by now. God

knows what she'll do with this kind of
ammunition.

You know what? He swore he wouldn't say
anything to anyone.

Right. Just like you swore, right? You
know what? I'm doing the best I can do,

all right?

Which brings me to bachelor number
three.

What?

Gary Johnson.

Import -export.

Drugs.

Pharmaceuticals, that is.

You're meeting him at the stage bar
tonight.

Correction, you're meeting him at the
stage bar tonight. Remember our little

deal? You milk the cow, I get the cream.

I told Ryan I wouldn't have any more
dates with strange men.

Break your promise.

You don't seem to have any problem doing
that.

You know what?

I have a great idea.

How about if Ryan and I double date with
you in tonight's candidate?

You're right. So you can, what, rub it
in my face?

No, it'll just take some of the pressure
off, that's all. I mean, you might as

well have us along. It's not like you
have any secrets from Ryan anymore.

That's very funny.

Sure, you're in love, and me, I'm a
lonely heart.

All right, fine, fine.

What time is the date?

You know what?

I just remembered.

I have dinner with Ryan's father
tonight. He just got into town. We're

have to change Mr. Wright to tomorrow
night.

Wait, wait, wait.

Valentine's Day?

Oh, come on, great. That's not too much
pressure on me.

Megan!

Audrey Williams, right?

I'm Jane Mancini, Michael's wife.

Look, I'm sorry about the lawsuit.

I mean, I'm sorry for you, but I'm the
victim here. Your husband came on to me,

and he harassed me.

Oh, he says that you have an overactive
imagination.

I didn't imagine anything, including the
promotion he promised me if I had sex

with him. Michael never had to use
leverage to get a woman in bed.

Maybe I had the good sense to hold out
for what I wanted.

And what exactly did you want?

Step up, that's all. A little help.

So you cooked up a sex scandal and filed
a fantasy lawsuit?

No fantasy involved.

Let's see.

Michael likes to start with a foot
massage.

But he'll actually lick my toes if we're
in the bath.

That's enough.

What's the matter?

Too close to home?

If you're looking for a liar here, why
don't you try the guy who's cheating on

you?

Let's go somewhere else for dinner, like
Paris.

I've racked up some frequent flyer
miles.

No, it'll be fine. Come on, relax. I'm
looking forward to meeting your dad.

Sorry we're late.

Dad, I want you to meet Megan Lewis.

Oh, another knockout. You sure don't
look like a librarian.

Why would I?

Well, this kid wastes his entire life in
a library. I thought that's the only

kind of woman you'd ever meet.

Real men don't read books.

Well, if you want to spend the rest of
your life hunched over a desk, go right

ahead. Better than spending it hunched
over a pool table like you and your

drinking buddies.

Hey, guys, can you just relax?

Hey, hey, don't look at me.

Kids all in a twist. Must be that time
of the month, huh?

It was just a joke. Don't leave.

Let's start the evening over and order
dinner.

Sounds good.

Open the door.

Now, Jane. Hey.

Watch it.

Guess what, Michael?

You're moving out.

Jane, I know you really don't want to
hurt.

You know, honestly, I don't think you're
handling this like a mature adult.

Stay out of my way, Michael, or next
time I won't miss.

Okay, we just have to talk about this,
honey. That's all.

Maybe not.

to insult you.

I'll tell you what, I'll give you a free
compliment.

Moving out here next door to your big
brother was the smartest thing you ever

did. So he could keep an eye on his
little brother. That's quite a

Dad. I can't wait.

Why? That's not what he said.

You know what? It was kind of
patronizing.

It's a library word.

You know what? Why don't you check on
the dinner and put a fire under Mario?

Good idea.

So, Mac, I hear you were a Marine.

Ah, you're always a Marine, darling.
It's the way of life. Cold to live by.

Semper Fi speech.

You're always true to your buddies,
which means you never rant them out like

did with your partner.

You're talking about his Wall Street
partner.

He was breaking the law.

The law is a man never turns in his
friends.

Oh, so Ryan's not a man. Is that what
you're saying?

I find him caring, responsible,
successful, and you should try being

him instead of tearing him down all the
time. Unless, of course, you're just too

threatened because he's more educated
than you. Megan, that's hardly helpful.

No, no, no, Amanda.

It's all right. Unlike some people at
this table, I don't need a woman to

me. And I don't need your permission to
leave this table.

I'm sorry, Amanda.

So am I.

You know, Megan was right about one
thing.

I think you make Ryan feel like a
failure when his only crime is that he's

like you.

Yeah, Amanda, someday you're going to
find this out.

That when you're raising boys, you've
got to toughen them up.

Some figure it out.

Others... All I know is in business,
when you play two competitors against

other, sometimes they both turn on you.

I hate that old man.

He's so awful.

No, it was nothing compared to our
dinners growing up.

Look, I hope I didn't make anything
worse.

He's never given a damn about me.

I went to college, the first one in our
family. Do you think he ever bragged

about that to his drinking buddies? No.

No. No, I come home for Christmas, and
nobody even knows what the hell I've

doing. All he talks about is Kyle. Kyle,
the war hero. Kyle, the club owner.

Kyle, the pride and joy of that pathetic
old man.

I just wish I could stop caring what he
thinks about me.

I'm so sorry.

You know when you told him off?

Yeah. That was the first time anybody's
ever stood up for me.

The first time I ever felt like I wasn't
alone.

No.

You're not alone.

You're not alone.

Oh.

Hi.

Oh, what happened to your hand?

Oh, a little domestic violence.

Um, listen, I gotta get out of town for
a couple days, so I, uh... I moved the

face work meeting in New York back. Oh,
you know what? It's Kyle's birthday

tomorrow, and your dad wants to throw
him a surprise party.

Oh, I shouldn't have known that's the
reason he came to town.

So you'll move the meeting back?

Look, Amanda, you're not dealing with
the Brady Bunch here, okay? Bottom line

I show up to this party, and I'm going
to ruin it.

Kyle's going through a really hard time
right now.

I can't imagine why he's got his biggest
fan around.

But you saw how he was drinking last
night.

I was worried. I thought you would be,
too.

I'm sorry. My mind wasn't exactly on
Kyle last night.

For what it's worth, I think your father
was way out of line.

It's like he's a different man when he's
drinking.

Yeah. Mean, abusive, and get used to it,
Amanda, because Kyle's headed down the

same road.

Don't give up on your brother.

He really needs you right now.

Please?

Okay, I'll stay.

For Kyle.

So... Now she's suing me for three
million bucks, but, you know, I figure

could be a lot worse, you know?

The board of directors has decided not
to indemnify you, Dr. Mancini.

You're on your own. Good luck.

Uh, excuse me, sir, but are you kidding
me? Because I've already been suspended

from my surgical duties, but are you
expecting me to defend myself against

lunatic alone?

It was spelled out very clearly at the
sexual harassment seminar.

The hospital will not defend you against
harassment charges if you violate

hospital protocol, which you have done
repeatedly.

Yeah, but I mean, come on. I mean,
seminar was for the little worker bees.

Talking about me here.

Gifted healer.

Talented surgeon.

I was hoping we could do a little
better.

I'm sorry, but you'll have to resign.

Resign?

No. I refuse.

Then we'll be forced to fire you.

And if that happens, your license will
be put under review by the state board.

And how am I expected to make a living?

Sir, I have given seven years of my life
to this hospital.

And now you people are dumping me.

Without even hearing my side of the
story.

Where's the loyalty?

You know, one day, the tables will be
turned, my friend.

And then we'll see if I indemnify you.

Michael, I'm sorry. Oh, you're sorry.
That's nice. I feel warm and fuzzy

now. Especially since the only job I
have left is working for free for the

Children's Foundation.

You can't be treasurer of the foundation
not with this hanging over your head.

What are you saying?

You've got to hand over the books. But,
Peter, I love the Children's Foundation

and those kids.

You know, those little guys are very
close to my heart.

Now, come on, please, Peter. You've got
to leave me some dignity here.

Sorry, Michael. I have to insist.

You know what? I don't know where the
books are.

You know, Jane's thrown out half my
stuff and we're not talking.

Find those books, Michael. I want them
on my desk tomorrow morning, along with

your resignation.

Peter, I'm going to fight you the whole
way on this one, buddy. You and that

whole lousy board of directors. Don't
yell at me, Michael. I'm not the enemy

here. No, you're just a foot soldier in
the war against a little guy.

The real enemy here is Big Brother.

Yeah, that's right.

Amy, you want somebody breathing down
your neck, snooping into your personal

life every day, huh?

No, not me.

No, I thought not. And you?

You want somebody to tell you how to
think? Or you, you want somebody to tell

you what you should say?

Or whether or not you can look at a
beautiful woman and not have somebody

federal case out of it?

These are our rights.

Our God -given rights as red -blooded
American males.

And these rights cannot be abridged.

I have passion in my veins.

That's who I am.

Are we going to be denied our
inalienable rights to be who we truly

I think not, my friends.

I think not.

Go, Michael.

You're right.

You know,

Lexi is from Ohio. You said you
graduated from Oberlin, right? Right, in

You're still young enough to last all
night.

Can you last all night, honey?

Waiting for an answer.

So, Gary, I hear you like to travel.

Thailand, Indonesia, you must be doing
well. Of course he's doing well. Or else

he wouldn't have made the cut.

Money, look.

Lexi, we've all read the questionnaire.

I think maybe we should dance, huh?

That's a good idea.

Chivalry? That's extra credit.

This is not how I planned on spending
Valentine's Day.

Well, it's for a good cause. I just hope
it turns out all right. I hope Lexi can

relax.

Here we go, Megan.

She's blowing it big time.

You know, Valentine's Day rolls around,
and I think, oh, God.

Another year without someone special in
my life.

I was really looking forward to meeting
you.

Well, what do you think? Am I everything
you ever hoped for in a woman or what?

I admire your initiative.

Going after what you want.

Well, honey, why don't you admire this?

You know what?

I was trying to take tonight seriously.

But obviously it's just one big joke to
you.

Do me a favor. Next time,

Find someone else to be your punchline.

Okay, buddy.

Maybe he went to the bathroom.

Or not. I'm going to go talk to him.

Yeah.

You ask me, I think you screwed things
up on purpose. No.

Well, you know what? I didn't ask you.
Yeah, you never ask. You tell.

I don't remember you having a problem
with it when I told you what I wanted.

How long did that last?

I mean, take tonight.

You never let him see the real you.

The real me.

Ah, yes, the real me. The one that Peter
dumped. The one that Coop, my ex,

dumped. Honey, if you haven't noticed,
when I show them the real me, they just

walk right over me.

Then they were the wrong guys.

You know, I'm starting to think I've got
a special radar for that.

Yeah, I seem to find the predator and I
zero in on them and they just circle me

until I fall.

Now, why are you selling yourself short?

You can be difficult, but you can also
be exciting, passionate, crazy.

And I know you have a vulnerable side.

You let a guy see that, he'll never
forget you.

Oh, my God. What were you thinking?

Please, don't start with me.

You guys, it's Valentine's Day.

You guys definitely need to be alone.

I'm going to get out of here.

Megan, honey, you guys would be a great
guy over there.

I'm calling.

Hey,

happy Valentine's.

They're beautiful. Thank you.

Kyle said he needs you on stage in a
minute.

Nice outfit.

Where's the rest of it? Oh, I know it's
kind of skimpy, but I need something

really smoking for Friday night.

We've got a gig in San Francisco.

You're traveling with the band?

Yeah. Well, it's only for a couple of
nights.

If you're worried about my parole
officer, don't. I already checked with

Everything's totally cool.

Oh, that's good.

You know, we did just get married. I
thought we might spend a little time

together, given what we've been through.

What I've been through is 15 years of
hell and five months of bottling up

inside. I need to turn it all loose.

Oh, I understand.

I'll just wait for you at home.

Oh, come on. Don't be angry.

I'm leaving after Kyle's party, and I'll
be gone only a couple of days.

What party?

It's his birthday. Amanda's throwing him
a surprise party.

Come on. Please come.

I promise I won't make you talk to
Amanda.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Hey,

Pete, have you met my dad yet?

No. This is Peter Burns.

Ah, Mac McBride. Pleasure.

You look a little too uptown to be a
buddy of Kyle's.

Peter used to be married to Amanda.
That's how we met.

Are you still friends?

Yeah, not only that, he's my doctor and
he's married to my singer.

It's very L .A., isn't it?

Your people are too damn close.

So Eve tells me that you're giving her
some time off to go on the road with the

band. Yeah, I mean, she's got a problem
with that.

Well, I'm a newlywed.

I can spend a little time with her.
She's running off with a bunch of social

misfits.

Well, I think she can handle her stuff.
I mean, if things get out of hand,

she'll walk away.

Oh, really?

So you'll just be able to handle it,
huh? Just like you.

What does that mean?

It means you're not the type of person
that can tell somebody how to take care

of themselves.

First you quit the pills, and then you
get right back on with the booze here.

Office hours are over, Doc.

That takes care of that.

Here, have another one.

I'll send the bill to your widow.

Moving on.

I'm ready for my next date.

You know, I don't think you should jump
right in again. Oh, come on, Megan. It's

like falling off a horse. One bad fall
doesn't make me a bad rider. That's the

problem. Right now, you are a bad rider.
I mean, dater. It's your attitude.

Great. Now you're trashing me.

Do I have some big target on my forehead
or something?

Come on, everyone. Hit me with your best
shot.

No, this is not a battlefield. It's just
about putting yourself out there and

hoping to connect to someone.

Yeah, as if I didn't know that.

Look, I know it's hard, okay? I just
think you should take some time off.

Megan, I don't have any more time.

Every day that goes by, I get a little
bit more empty inside.

I mean, my gosh, there won't be anything
left for Mr.

Wright. I'm convinced he's on that list.

You know what? You're going to have to
find him yourself, because I can't go

through another fiasco like last night.

Fine. That's just fine. I try to
delegate responsibility, and, you know,

if I want something done right, I better
just do it myself.

Thanks.

You know,

you got to stay on top of these guys.

You got to show up every morning first
thing.

Let them know the boss is watching. I'll
stay on them, Pop.

It's going to be a great house, Kyle.

Yeah, big yard.

Good place for your kids to grow up.
Yeah, that's what we were counting on.

Yeah.

Oh, your kids.

They're part of you.

That is the strongest love you'll ever
know. It's like a holy feeling.

It ties them to you and back to me.

I don't know if that's ever going to
happen.

Of course it is. You're young. You have
plenty of time.

Pop, did you hear about the Gulf War
vets?

About a lot of them getting sick when
they came home?

Yeah, yeah, sure.

A bunch of crybabies, most of them.
Because if they were really sick...

Something happened to me over there.

What are you talking about?

I can't have kids.

Says who?

Says my doctor.

That guy I met at the bar told him to
fix you up. No, it's just the way it is.

Then see a specialist.

I can't have kids.

Amanda and I, we're just, I mean, we're
going to have to adopt.

Oh, come on, Kyle. That's not your own
kid. That's somebody else's mistake.

I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't say
anything to Amanda. I haven't told her

yet.

She has her heart set on having a baby.
You're building a damn nursery here.

Yeah, I know.

I've tried to tell her, but I can't.

You're scared.

You're scared if she finds out you're
only half a man, she'll dump you.

You have to tell her, Kyle.

Or you ain't any kind of man at all.

Hey. What are you doing home?

Um, I'm sorry.

I don't know what I was thinking,
letting my beautiful wife go to a party

herself.

Oh, I mean, you're going. That's great.

Might have flipped your mind, but that
foundation dinner's tomorrow night,

Oh, oh, well, I'll be in San Francisco
tomorrow night with the band.

Oh, that's right.

Yeah, but it's a very important dinner.

Well, it's a really important gig.

This is going to open up a whole bunch
of new things for us.

What's going on? Are you...

Giving me a guilt trip?

No. No, no.

Mom, I was just hoping that... Were you
hoping that you were going to be able to

use the foundation dinner as an excuse
to keep me from leaving town?

I don't know.

I don't know. I... I feel a little silly
here, you know? I don't... I

don't want you to go.

And I... I love you.

All right? I... I don't want the
honeymoon to be over yet.

moon is not over.

Look, before you say anything, yeah,
I've been drinking a little bit. I can

that. But I gotta brace myself, and I
gotta start facing facts.

Well, here's a fact.

Mac is up there waiting for us, and I
want you all to myself tonight. So if

could think of a good excuse that'll
give us just an hour alone.

Babe, there's something I gotta tell
you. Well, there's something I've gotta

tell you.

Me first.

You two get up here, and I mean right
now. Come on.

Do you remember this birthday party? Oh,
my God.

Eight years old. Look at Ryan in his
cowboy hat. Oh, my God. I love that hat.

That was Kyle's. He let me wear it until
Dad made me give it back.

Oh.

What is that?

You know what? I know you only came here
for my sake, but since you're here, how

about breaking the ice with Amanda?

Don't push it.

Hey, Jane.

Hey.

Hit me up too, will you?

Do I dare ask what the problem is?

Oh, same old thing. Michael's in heat
again. Let's see, this must be a fair

number. Oh, God, where's my pocket
calculator?

Oh, come on, he wouldn't dare to yell at
you this time around.

Well, he's got you snowed. Hey, you
should be a character witness at his

Trial?

You're not suing him again for divorce.

No, the nurse he's sleeping with is
claiming sexual harassment.

So if you still think Michael's
innocent, you can have him.

All right, how did it go at St. Emery's?

Not that great.

No, they're very judgmental.

Like we're supposed to believe none of
those quacks ever nailed a nurse in a

linen closet.

I'm glad you showed up tonight.

Let's not get carried away. I'm only
here because of you.

You know, we said some pretty terrible
things to each other. And I probably

deserve every shot that you took. She
went to prison for both of you.

I was 17. I did the best I could. I'm
sorry if I screwed up.

That's about the lamest I'm sorry I have
ever heard.

Oh, really?

Oh, okay. Well, how about this?

I'm sorry that I ever introduced you to
Eve.

I'm sorry that I helped her fall in love
with you. And I'm really sorry that I

stood by her side when you got married.

You pretty much covered it all there,
didn't you?

Okay. Apology accepted.

Would you look at that? I don't know
what kind of bull they've been feeding

but something's going on between those
two.

Happy birthday, Kyle.

I'm sorry I can't say.

No, it's all right. San Francisco, I
know. Good luck. Yeah, yeah. Take Romeo

with you. He'll drag himself away from
Amanda.

Oh, I'm glad they finally made up. Would
you excuse me?

He'll have a kid all right, Kyle, but
don't expect him to look like a McBride,

huh? Hey!

You enjoying the party? Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

You got a one of a kind here, Amanda.

God made my boy and I broke them all.

Dad, take it easy. You're drinking a
little bit too much.

What's going on?

Hey, we need more coffee filters and the
natives are getting restless. Okay.

I'll show you. Come here.

I don't know what happened, but you and
the Marines came back after me. I told

you to lay off of me.

I've been thinking, Ryan, why don't you
get hitched to that girl of yours and

give me a couple of grandkids, huh?
Don't rush him. Kyle and I will take

the baby department.

Are you packing a punch, Ryan? Are you
always going to be my little girl, huh?

Mac, what's your problem?

It's okay, Amanda.

His problem's leaving right now.

Where's your party spirit?

I can't take anymore of Dad's bull
tonight.

You can't take it anymore. I'm the one
he's always dishing it out to, Kyle.

No, man, he is always biting me. You
just don't notice.

I mean, you, you get to do whatever the
hell you want to do. He doesn't expect a

damn thing from you. And he never lets
me forget it.

Well, it must be real tough being the
perfect son.

Happy birthday, Kyle.

Hi. Come in.

Eve asked me to check in on you.

Check in on me? Why?

Well, to see if you're still worried
about her traveling with the band.

Oh, please, I'm fine.

Want some coffee?

Sure. What happened last night? I turned
around, I looked, and all the McBrides

were heading to the door.

Oh, God. From what I've seen so far, I'd
say it's a tradition.

Here. Thank you. Let me, uh... Oh.

Hello. Oh, great, I caught you.

Hey, listen, we're doing two shows
tonight. Any chance you can fly up for

late one?

Oh, no.

There's no chance at all with that
foundation dinner, but I'll make the

one, I promise.

Next time you mean it?

Yeah, absolutely. I know I can't have
you all to myself.

You do have your own room, don't you?

You're not crashing with the band.

No.

But I am glad you're okay with this,
though.

I was having second thoughts. I asked
Amanda to check on you.

Oh, well, she's right here.

You want to talk to her?

Both of you, actually.

Um, I just wanted to tell you guys that,
uh...

I'm really happy we made it through all
the bad stuff.

I love you both.

Love you too.

And knock them dead.

Um, I'll see you tonight.

Yeah, I'll see you at the foundation
dinner. Right. Okay.

Okay, Ms. Sterling, we're all ready to
go.

Now, you sure you transferred all the
data from Megan's hard drive into mine?

Oh, not just the data, but the analysis
of the data as well.

Good, so it's all ready to kick out to
name my number one candidate?

Well, like I told Megan, all you have to
do is press enter.

Okay, finally.

Here goes.

Hmm.

Ryan McBride.

Gee, Megan told me to delete this guy.
He's popped up a couple of times.

There's got to be some sort of mistake
here, right?

No, no, no. He's the right guy.

Ryan McBride.

99 out of 100 answers matched your
specs.

Ryan McBride. He's the one.

Oh, wow.

Who are these from?

Your loving husband.

Consider it a belated Valentine's Day
gift. Yeah, get out of here, Michael,

before I call security.

Oh, Jane, please. Audrey is suing me for
$3 million.

My attorney says that if you don't stand
by me in court, the jury is going to

crucify me. Wait, wait, wait. You want
me to save your butt? Yeah, well, you

don't have to do much, really. Just
stand there, smile at the jury, maybe

my hand during the bad parts, like when
Audrey's testifying about having sex

with me.

You know what? You got a lot of nerve.

But then again, you need it because
you're a full -time liar and cheat.

trust me, by the time this is all over,
everybody's going to owe me an apology,

including you.

Did you say trust you?

You know, you must really think I have a
thick skin that nothing ever gets to

me. That, you know, they could destroy
my reputation, ruin my career, and it

would be no big deal.

Oh, well, you'll bounce back, Michael.
You always do.

Not from losing you, Jane.

That I would never bounce back from.
Yeah, well, I wish I could believe you,

Michael. We've been through this a
million times. You know what? You make

feel like a fool for loving you. Just
get out.

Take these.

Oh, boy. Typical foundation dinner. Bad
food, bad speakers, huh? Did you like

the way that I blacked out Michael's
name as treasurer? Very discreet. Yeah.

Great party!

Uh, Dr. Burns, Mr. Castor's feeling a
little bit woozy. Would you mind getting

the key for 719 from the front desk? I
don't think he can make it to the lobby.

Does it matter if he doesn't? He's
donating $50 ,000 to the foundation.

We'll meet you upstairs.

I think I've actually heard that joke
before.

Um...

Thank you so much for signing with me,
gentlemen. I promise to make your freeze

-dried sushi the best ad campaign this
town has ever seen.

Um, if you'll excuse me for just a
moment.

Well,

I already got you first.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, bro. Hey.

Just want to apologize for last night.

No, no, it was my fault. I threw the
first punch. I'm sorry, man.

That makes us both pretty crazy
sometimes.

Yeah.

I've been thinking of keeping a low
profile until he heads out of town, you

know? Oh, man, I wish I could do that.
It sounds good.

Hey.

Hey, there you are.

You've been avoiding me all day.

Hope you got some beauty rescue.

Because we're going to be playing all
night. You know what? I'm out of here.

No, Ryan, stay.

What is it with you two? I asked you to
play a couple of hands of poker, and

it's like... What? It's like death in
here.

Open for a buck without even looking.

I'll raise you two.

Okay, two.

I think that you're bluffing, Ryan.

I think you've got a handful of nothing.
You should know, Kyle.

Shut up, okay?

You mouth off to me like that again, and
I'm going to smack you right in your

face.

And you, you're going to make me a
promise, kid.

You promise me that you come up with the
goods, keep my name alive, because it's

all on you now, huh?

I am warning you, Dad, don't do this.

Why? What are you going to do, Kyle?

Not a damn thing, because you don't have
any guts.

You can't even look your wife in the eye
and tell her you're shooting blank.

Is it true, Kyle?

Yeah, it's true.

Your brother's a gelding.

Get off me, Ryan. This isn't your fight.
Why? You can kill him.

He's still our father, Kyle.

Get up. I'm going to take you to my
place.

I'm really sorry about your problem,
Kyle, but you're going to have to learn

to handle it better than this.

You ought to think about heading back to
Boston.

At least you're doing something, Kyle.

Come on, Dad. It's something.

Michael, you're late.

I only had another fight with the wife.
