What are you doing?

What are you doing here?

Hello? Are packed to ensure that you get
Megan and I get Ryan, ring a bell? I

haven't given up on the direct seduction
route, and for that I don't need you.

Oh, what's taking you so long?

Megan's right next door. No, the frontal
approach is out. This is going to be a

long, drawn -out affair, more a war of
attrition.

Yeah, well, so is Vietnam, and look how
that turned out.

Incoming. You know what? This doesn't
make sense.

You didn't have to tell me you had an
affair with Lexi. I would never have

out in a million years.

I guess my conscience got the best of
me. I think you were intentionally

to break us up. You went to New York in
love. You came back from New York out of

love. I mean, did you meet someone
there?

Maybe I just saw it before you did that
it would never work out.

Oh, I think that's a load of crap.

Well, maybe it is, but we're over. I
mean, you want to fight for something

that's already dead?

You know what? Amanda offered me a job,
and I turned it down.

But I think I'm going to take it,
because if you can turn off your

easily, then so can I.

Do what you want. I don't care.

This is your shot. Go.

Hey,

Megan.

Hi. For a lady out of work, you're sure
up early.

Go to hell, Michael.

Right.

Like I said, it's going to be a long,
long battle.

Yeah, but something that Megan said was
exactly right.

Go to hell, Michael?

No, the part about New York.

That's when he changes.

He goes, he comes back.

Shut off.

Unable to love.

All because of what?

You gotta find out. Me?

No, no, Ryan hates my gut.

It would never... Yeah, but it's time
for you to buddy up to him. Come on, you

get him to open up.

Go, hurry, change. Put on some
basketball shoes and a t -shirt. Go,

for you to be one of the boys. Go.

Mand offered Megan a job at her agency.
Is she crazy?

No. I think that you're crazy for going
out of your way to hurt Megan, though.

No, I didn't have a choice, Kyle. I
didn't ask for your opinion. Then you

shouldn't have told me your secret,
Ryan.

My mistake.

You know what?

When I was keeping my secret from
Amanda, I thought that was the only

had, but the fact is I had a thousand
other choices, and every single one of

them was better than going out of my way
to hurt her. I made a promise to my

little girl, Kyle.

No, you created a promise, Ryan. One to
hide behind.

I think you want me to be an ally in
this, and I've thought about it. I'm not

going to do it.

Well, you can try to understand.

I do understand.

I understand that you feel so guilty
about what happened to Sarah's mom that

want to punish yourself.

I mean, we make brides, we're all alike.

We love to wallow in our misery until
we've wrecked our whole lives.

Don't do it.

Give me the ball back when you're done.

Yo, hey, Kyle.

Hey, big guy, you want to play a little
one -on -one? All I need is the house

rules. One rule, no talking.

Peace.

All this fuss and fighting we just let
out of them.

What is so important?

Oh, what is it all about?

Let's go to sleep.

Ignore it. Let's just leave this for
now.

I guess it's easy to let things lie.
What if we don't get to say goodbye?

If the sun doesn't rise All I'm sure of
now Is that I Don't wanna let this

wait Oh no, don't leave it Till it's too
late Yeah, we should

Nice wake -up call. God, I can't get
enough of you.

It's like we're in a honeymoon that's
never going to end.

You know when all this started, don't
you?

Yeah, when we inherited the money from
my old man.

It's like we're consumed by it.

We don't know what to do with it. We
don't know not what to do with it. Not

this isn't a good way to get over the
preoccupation.

So how do we stop obsessing over it?

I don't know.

Why don't we just put it away?

Huh? Everything.

We'll lock it up.

Put it in a trust or a bank account and
just forget about it. Just go about our

lives. I mean, it's not like we need it
right now. We're happy, we're in love.

Yeah, yeah, right.

We never needed the money before.

No, I mean, you keep on singing, I'll
keep on doctoring and... How about it?

Shake on it.

I'm gonna kiss him.

I'm worried.

What's it gonna cost me?

Two million dollars.

You're worth it.

First off, I want you to make three
lists of Lexi's clients.

Those who are happy, those not so happy,
and those unsatisfied. And then we'll

know which ones to go after first.

Is this the only reason you hired me, so
I could stomp on Lexi?

Basically, yes.

I see this as a golden opportunity.

Lexi's made a point of trying to screw
me, and I'm just taking the initiative,

and I'm going to screw her first.

We already have soft here, Megan.

Jane, most of my art department, Ryan
too much of the time.

I need cutthroats.

Are you up to it or not?

You'll have your list by lunchtime.

By the way, what business did you send
Ryan to New York on? I didn't send him

anywhere. He took personal days.

That's not what he told me.

Hold it right there. I am not running a
stud service here. Personal

relationships will not be tolerated in
the workplace.

Amanda, could you... I'll come back. Oh,
no, you won't. Both of you will go into

the conference room right now, sit down,
and work out a civil working

relationship. Go, shoo.

I have work to do.

Miss Woodward? Whatever it is, it'll
have to wait. I want to buy your

building.

My name is Sam Lieberman.

I had my second look this morning, and I
love it.

Are you making me an offer?

Yes, your full asking price.

And no, I'm not tearing it down.

I'm not going to evict anyone.

I want to keep it just the way it is.

So, do we have ourselves a deal?

I guess we do.

There's really nothing to discuss. We'll
talk work, we'll talk business, we'll

talk nothing else.

You are just so changed. I don't get it.
I'm sorry, are you talking business?

Because it doesn't sound like business
to me.

Neither was your trip to New York, was
it? No, that was personal.

And we will not be discussing personal
either.

Done. The building is yours.

I don't believe this. Delivery guy was
supposed to be here an hour ago.

Had to get back to the house.

Oh, well, go on. I'll cover for you.

Well, I'm stuck here all day anyway.
Peter's busy with labor struggles at the

hospital.

That's great. I owe you one.

Wait, what am I thinking?

Eve, you want to take over as manager of
the club? I mean, I was thinking about

hiring somebody anyway.

Well, it's not like I need money.

Partners, then.

How do I do that? You buy in.

30%, 40%, whatever you're comfortable
with.

You can book the bands, you can pick
your own hours.

The only problem is Peter and I decided
not to touch the money. Yeah, but you

would be investing the money, not
spending it.

Think about it, okay?

Kyle, wait.

I'm in.

Full partners, though, 50 % before you
change your mind.

This is great.

Hey,

neighbor, how's it going?

Great game this morning, huh?

No, I don't get a lot of exercise, so a
game like basketball is perfect.

It's really strange because every time I
turn around, you're there.

I know, and we've never been friends. I
mean, we were enemies most of the time.

But, hey, things change.

I kind of feel sorry for you. You know,
you were engaged, and you got dumped,

and, well, you're sort of like me.
You're a lonely guy.

Do I look lonely?

Frankly, buddy, you do.

But nothing's that bad, right? So,
bottoms up, huh?

I was kind of hoping maybe you'd start
going out with Megan, you know? Get her

out of my hair.

Oh, no, not me, man. I'm trying to free
myself of that second -time -around

syndrome. You know, I give my women one
chance. They blow it, the ship is

sailed.

Listen, now, you got any munchies?

Uh, sure.

Great. I'll turn it on television. I'll
get that for you.

Hey, y 'all, I got tortilla chips.

Yeah, well, check the label. Make sure
they say low salt, okay?

And, um, I like my chips in a bowl.

Hey, here's to bachelorhood, huh? Long
may it reign.

It's supposed to be a charm.

Peter used it on me once. Knocked me out
in three seconds flat.

All right.

We're looking for anything that has to
do with New York. Let's go, hurry. Look,

there's stuff on the table.

You know, he's not a bad guy, you know?

I know that. That's why I want to marry
him.

Hey, what's this?

Hey, round -trip tickets, New York.
We're getting warmer.

Hey, keep your voice down. Are we all
drugged, Lexi?

Elephants' flatulence wouldn't wake them
up. Bingo.

Car rental map, upstate New York.

Katona, Chippewa, destination,
Poughkeepsie.

Hey, visitor pass, St. Agnes School,
huh?

Oh, my God, he's Catholic.

St. Agnes School, Poughkeepsie, New
York.

Brian, I know you're in there.

Great, it's Megan. Shh, hide.

I'll handle this. Go.

Megan, Miguel.

How the hell are you?

Michael, what are you doing here? Well,
me and me new bro, Ryan, we're just

throwing a few bucks.

Well, listen, here's some of this junk
from my place.

Good night, Michael.

Wait!

I was just thinking, maybe if you have
time, we could see a movie or talk or

have coffee.

You see, just the sight of you sobered
me up. As usual, your timing is way off,

Michael. How so?

You're manless again and I'm womanless?

No, just because you break up with
someone doesn't mean you're not still in

with them. What do you mean? You fell
out of love with me when we broke up.

I don't mean to hurt you, but I never
loved you as much as I love Ryan, okay?

Come on, Megan, you can't qualify these
things. Remember what you were saying,

that Ryan is an A and I'm a B? No, right
now you're a C -.

Lexi. What?

Bad news.

No matter what we may think, Megan is
still madly in love with that dude. And

this dude is still madly in love with
her.

Yeah, well, I'm afraid it's just a
matter of days before they get back

Not unless we can find out what happened
in New York.

Michael, we have no choice.

Pack your bags.

We're going to Poughkeepsie.

Tonight, we celebrate two things.

You sold the building, and I sold a
piece of the club.

And now we got all the cash we need to
finish the house.

Who bought in?

Eve.

She and Peter had all that money they
inherited. I knew she was itching to

some of it.

Okay.

So, what is this?

You got a hot bath?

Long face?

Teller's remorse?

No, I'm just more attached to this
building than I first thought.

Yeah, but maybe it's a money pit. We
agreed.

Yeah, but I've always lived in rentals,
condos, apartments. This place was home.

Our house will be home, too. It's not
the same.

My life is wrapped up in this place, and
the memories... I'm part of the

memories?

I guess not all the memories.

So what do you want to do? You want to
back out? You want to not move?

No, I'm just saying it's all happening
too quickly.

We've failed this, failed that. We're
putting everything we have into a place

that doesn't even have a roof yet.

It's all right. To hell with it.

Why don't you call your broker in the
morning and back out?

We'll spend the rest of our lives in
this dump.

All I want you to do is hold me, tell me
we're doing the right thing, and

promise me that it'll all work out.

It will.

With all my heart, I believe it will.

Then we'll do it.

We'll never look back.

Michael,

come on. The school's right outside of
town.

It's very exclusive. It's run by nuns.
Nuns? Yeah, nuns. No visitors allowed.

Family member and other clergy alike. I
can't believe I let you talk me into

this trip.

This is nuts. I'm 3 ,000 miles away from
Megan, who, by the way, was very

impressed by that nurse's walkout I
organized. That was terrific.

Wait a minute.

I've always looked good in basic black.

Remember, no money, no care. No money,
no care.

Just relax.

Take it easy. Now just tell me what
happened.

Well, I kind of made a crazy decision.

And I should have talked to you about it
first.

But it was an opportunity. And so I
grabbed it.

But it cost a lot of money.

Our money, money we said we weren't
going to touch.

I bought into Kyle's Club, and I'm
managing it now. You and I are 50 %

With the money, we decided yesterday
that we weren't going to touch.

It was a great opportunity.

It gives me a chance to turn my career
in a more realistic direction.

I mean, what else is this money for
except it's a buying opportunity?

Why don't you just petition you and
Michael got the doctors to sign?

You're chief of staff and you're
supporting the nurses' strike?

Well, that's my signature on top,
actually. Okay.

I'm going to the board with this Burns
and we'll see what they have to say

it. Well, I hope they reverse their
position.

Or maybe they'll toss your sorry ass out
of here.

Especially after I add up all your
weaknesses.

Incompetency on the job.

jailbird wife.

No, bitch. There's something I've been
wanting to say to you, especially after

the way you messed with my friend
Jackie's life.

Well, say it, lady. I don't have all
day.

I'll add assault to the charges.

Watch out.

You don't have to worry about getting a
bouncer upstairs at Kyle's.

Now that you're on board.

This is good. What else can you tell me?
Just that of all of Lexi's clients, the

most dissatisfied is Jacobi Toys, and
unfortunately all of my research was

behind. That's okay, Ryan. This will be
yours.

Schedule a lunch, say it's a general
call, and then hit him with everything

you've got.

It's a rating.

It's unethical.

It's good business, and the way I've
always done business.

Well, I consider it bottom feeding, and
we're above that. Well, I consider your

sleeping with Lexi both bottom feeding
and unethical.

I warned you two about bringing your
personal affairs into this office.

Oh, and this whole vendetta you two have
against Lexi, that's not personal? It's

self -defense.

Megan, Jacobi Toys is yours.

Land them any way you can. Just land
them.

All the people you choose to emulate,
you pick Amanda.

Oh, it's too bad you can't emulate Kyle.

By doing what? Maybe keeping your
manhood in your pants.

Mr. Jane.

Oh, sorry. I was just aging. Yeah. God,
I've been doing it a lot lately. Maybe

because I don't have a guy in my life
and I miss it. You know, someone to

by me at night and shining armor. You
know, I don't have time for this. Okay,

wait, wait.

There's something I want to show you. A
company I want to pitch.

Madison Galleries. This guy buys up old
churches and turns them into the most

amazing galleries. And he does no
advertising.

Well, go pitch him. Sounds interesting.

Really? A cold call? I've never done
that. Well, here's your chance.

Just remember, you usually only get one
shot, so make it count.

Yeah, I'm Father Michael, and this is
Sister Alexandra from the Catholic

Association. And actually, we just
stopped by for a routine tour.

Well, bless you, my child. Oh, thank
you, Father.

I believe Sister Abby, our head of
school, is on the way to math.

Would you like to join us?

Ah, yes.

Good old math.

That time again.

Thank you.

Afternoon, my son.

Father, won't you catch Al not going to
Mass?

Once does not a sinner make thee.

Well said.

Is that from the Bible?

The St.

Mancini version. It's very rare.

Listen, we're looking for someone with
the last name McBride. You wouldn't

happen to know who that might be.

Sarah McBride, right over there.

Thank you. Thank you.

A wife, I knew it.

Sister, sister, we don't know for sure.

Excuse me.

Sarah McBride?

No, actually, I'm her aunt, Terry O
'Brien.

Sarah's right over there.

Oh, my.

We're from the Catholic School
Association. We were told we could talk

get her candid opinion of the school.

Sister Abby okayed it.

That is, of course, if, as her aunt, you
don't think she'd mind.

No, no, no. Go right ahead.

Sarah loves it here.

Wonderful. Thank you. Bye -bye, girls.
Be good.

You too, Tara.

Hey, bless you.

Good afternoon.

Hello. Sarah, we'd like to ask you a few
questions. I'm Sister Alexandra, and

this is Father Michael. From the
Catholic School Association.

Yes, we're doing a little research for
the diocese.

Can you tell us how you first came to
St. Agnes?

Well... After my mother died, my Aunt
Terry took me in.

And then when she went to work here, I
enrolled.

That was about four years ago.

First grade.

I live right on campus in the dorm.

And your father?

He lives in California.

But he visits when he can.

But you want to know what I think about
school?

Oh, sure. Yeah.

I think it's a great school.

The greatest.

Is everything okay here?

Sure, everything's fine. Yes. with such
a big help.

Well, good day to you both. Bye -bye.
Good day.

Holy mother, a Pearl Ryan's got a kid.

Hello? Anybody here?

Sorry, we're not open yet.

Another couple weeks at least.

And no solicitations either.

Even from a beautiful woman.

Uh, actually, I'm in advertising.

We do the selling, so you don't have to.

Nice line.

Where'd you get it?

Oh, I made it up.

I work for Amanda Woodward Advertising,
a large firm here in L .A., and I

noticed that you do no advertising.

Oh, wait, you...

You are the owner, right? James Rogers?

Jim. Jim. And you're... Jane. Jane
Mancini.

I called several times. You didn't
return.

Don't really believe in advertising.

But since you came all the way down
here, let's hear your spiel.

Okay.

Well, it all comes down to enticing them
in, luring them through that door.

I want to go almost religious with this.
Not a gallery, a temple.

Then, like, Tibetan music.

Quite an artist.

Nothing worth showing anyone.

It's a hobby.

Well, I think it's a...

Very interesting.

You should show it.

An artist's hand.

An artist's eye.

Do you know my theory on why people
create?

Passion for art.

A need for expression.

Loneliness. Really?

Are you lonely, Jane?

Sometimes.

Me too.

Are you seducing me?

No.

You seduced me the moment you came in
the door.

Sister? No.

No, it's all right, though.

I'll be honest with you. I'm actually,
I'm not a sister.

This was the only way that I could get
in to see you.

I know your dad.

I know Ryan.

And while we're very close, actually,
I'm in love with him.

You mean you're Megan?

Well...

Daddy told me all about you. How pretty
you were. I mean, are.

Oh, well, thanks.

I work out.

I just... What are you doing here?

Well, Sarah, I went through this great
length because your dad has this

and I'm not sure you're aware of it.

You see, he won't marry me, or anyone,
because of the problems that he made to

you.

It's not a promise.

It's just the way he is.

He can't love anyone as much as he loved
my mother.

Yeah, but, you know, your mom's gone
now, and, well, he's got to move on.

got to find someone else.

But, hey, that doesn't mean he's going
to love you any less.

In fact, when Ryan and I get together,
I'll make sure you see him much more.

You better go.

Just think about what I said, okay?

Promise you'll think about it.

Okay.

You know, I keep going over and over it
and coming back to the same thing.

Ryan's hiding something, some dark
secret, and that's why he's done this

complete 180. I thought I made myself
clear the other day.

I'm just thinking out loud. Well, I
would just like to maintain a little

professionalism around here.

For instance, see that guy in the
conference room?

Major entrepreneur.

And Jane landed him. She landed him
without dating him or falling in love

him. Right, Jane?

Right. Enough about Jane. Let's talk
about you.

You haven't come close to getting Jacobi
toys from Lexi.

I think it's time for a little
creativity of your own.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Well, I sent the papers to my lawyer so
we can start any time.

Great. Then I'll schedule the first
concert meeting.

Before you go.

I just wanted to say that last night was
incredible for me.

Yes.

I love you, Jane.

You, uh, you what?

Will you marry me?

Jim.

My God, um, I've only known you for 24
hours.

I don't need more time to know that this
is it.

I've waited my whole life.

To find someone like you.

Look, I can't rush into this. I mean,
I'm separated.

My divorce isn't even final.

Last night was just crazy. I thrive on
impulse, Jane.

But I'll respect your caution. Just tell
me that you'll at least consider a

relationship.

Okay, I'll consider it.

Let's have dinner tonight.

I'd take you to my place, but it's a
mess. And you said you live by the

That'd be great. How's 7 o 'clock?

7's okay.

Perfect. See you then.

I think it's important that we all
take... Oh, excuse me, everyone. Sorry

late. Uh, this is a closed meeting, Dr.
Burns. He's chief of staff. Just get on

with it.

All right, then.

I have before me a document with the
signatures of 18 doctors at this

Supporting. Supporting the nurses' walk
-in. Irene, if I may.

No, you may not, Doctor.

We all know how you feel about this, and
you have no vote here. Actually, I have

the only vote that counts.

So, I've spent the last 12 hours in
negotiations with your bosses, the

that owns this hospital.

And as of about 15 minutes ago, I bought
the hospital.

Excuse me, Dr. Prince. How is that
possible? I've run into a lot of money

recently. Actually inherited it.

But I couldn't decide what to do with
it.

Well, not until last night, anyway.

I'm yielding to the demands of the
nurses and the doctors.

And I'm allowing them the opportunity to
buy into their hospital.

From now on, this will be an employee
-run enterprise.

Oh, this can't be happening.

It's already happened.

Dr. Burns, good luck.

I think this institution is finally in
good hands.

This meeting is over.

How true is your reign of terror, Dr.
Schulman?

Come in.

I'll assume I'm fired since I didn't
sign your petition.

I'm going to leave that up to you,
Irene.

But just so you know, $200 ,000 buys you
a piece of this place and a voice on

the board.

Even if it's a dissenting opinion?

Only if it's a dissenting opinion.

I need my rivals.

You keep me on my toes.

Well, you've got yourself a deal,
Doctor.

I hope you don't regret it.

You know, money usually corrupts people.

But in your case, it's made you a better
man.

Well, I accept that opinion, Doctor.

Even if it's not a dissenting one.

Whoa, what's cooking? Man, it smells
terrific.

I knew you'd be a great cook.

Oh, what's in the bag?

Just some stuff, toothbrush, change of
clothes, since I'm probably spending the

night.

Well, this place is great, too. Too big
for just one person.

Wasted space.

Are you saying that you're moving in
with me?

I thought you'd never ask.

Jim, I can't do this.

You are moving way too fast.

Come on. No, I'm serious.

I've done this before and with guys I've
known much longer, and it never works.

Both feet, Jane.

You jump right in. That's how it's done.

No.

Okay, no.

I'm sorry.

Guess I got carried away by my feelings
for you.

You know what?

I'm going to leave. I'll call you
tomorrow, okay? We'll plot a new course.

I was just picking up a few things. You
can't tell Lexi I was here.

Or me.

Or what you saw.

What did you see?

Um, nothing.

But I, uh, I did get an earful.

You can't tell Lexi. She hates this kind
of thing in the workplace.

We'll do anything you want.

Anything.

I'm glad you called this meeting. I can
thank the man personally. Thank him for

what? Didn't you hear he's cutting
everybody's rent in half?

You're joking.

What about the rent?

Well, where have you been, huh? Amanda
sold the building.

Well, there's got to be a catch. I mean,
he didn't say anything about cutting

the rent. It's ludicrous. Hey, what's
going on?

You're about to meet your new landlord.

Yeah, well, he's late.

Sorry, Lexi, this is for tenants only.

Yes. Yes, I understand you're going to
meet the new landlord.

Well, how would you know that?

Well... I'm the new landlord.

I know him, Lexi. I met him.

Short, gray hair. Yeah, Sam Lieberman.
Yeah, he's my friend.

Well, I see you all got the notices.

Well,

don't all thank me at once.

Amanda, honey, I've been doing the math,
and while you've been gouging these

poor souls for years... Which apartment
should I make mine?

Wait, I got it. Let me rephrase that.
Which apartment's the best?

Take mine. If you're moving in, I'm
moving out.

Oh, wow, thank goodness.

Because that'll save me the trouble of
tripling your rent. Quit it easy.

Amanda, I want you out in 30 days. I'll
be out in 30 minutes.

Come on, don't look so glum.

I am really going to liven this place
up. You'll see, we're going to have

barbecues and pool parties.

Hmm? I was thinking about turning one of
the garages into a rec room.

Yeah? Ping pong, anyone?

Trust me, people, you'll see.

Well, doesn't matter.

It's mine.

It's all mine.

Welcome, gentlemen, to the Amanda
Woodward Agency.

Jacob E. Toys will not be disappointed.

You thieving whore! These are my
clients! Not anymore, Lexi. We're

our out clause.

You stole my files, Julie told me.
You're a thief. You're a petty thief.

No, they were my ideas. You just left
them sitting there. You were my employee

when you came up with them.

Gentlemen, can we talk fair here?

It's too late, Lexi. The papers are
already signed.

Fine. In that case... Take it easy! Come
on, take it easy!

I got this.

You're mine.

Okay, all right. I'm fine.

Oh, God.

Who are you calling me crazy? Will you
relax? It was an act. I'm playing

savior. Did you see her face, huh?

Totally appreciative. If this does not
close the deal, I don't know what will.

Yeah, well, it cost me a huge deal.

I don't know what's gotten into Megan. I
mean, Amanda turning into a clone of

herself. It's really scary. Pretty
impressive, huh? She stepped right up to

plate. Yeah, I forgot. You're attracted
to deceit.

Oh, God, I've got to go meet the movers.
You know what? You tell Megan if she

breaks into my office again, I'm
pressing charges.

Thank you for that. You okay?

I'm fine. I just feel like celebrating.

Well, that's not fun to do alone.

No, not at all. Where do we start?

I see a couple of barstools over there.
Oh, you know what happens when you get

me drunk.

I have to drive you home?

No more forays on the roof, promise?

Cross my heart and hope you get lucky.

Come on.

Get up, Ivy League.

We gotta make this a great game. It's
gonna be your last chance to whoop me

a while.

Man and I are moving in with Jane at the
beach house.

Hello? Move was just finished. Light's
leaving. Come on. Hey, hey.

Got a letter from my daughter.

What? She's, uh, she's freeing me. Hear
exact words.

Apparently when I went to go talk to her
about Megan, I made an impression she

wants me to go ahead and marry her.

What? This is a good thing, right?

She's so unexpected.

What? The kid grew up. That happens.

You can't waste any more time. You gotta
go tell Megan. Tell her the whole

story. Give her your reasoning.

And then explain why you pushed her
away.

I don't know, man.

Yeah, you do.

Thanks a lot.

I thought for sure you'd be coming now.

Is it true what I heard? You're moving
in with Jane in her beach house? Her

spare room, until our house is finished.

You know, Amanda, I would have let you
stay.

Excuse me.

Boy, Amanda, you really are a sore
loser.

Have you always been like that?

You know something?

You can buy my building, you can move
into my apartment, and you can stab me

the back a million times, but you'll
never be me.

You'll always be a distant second.

Enjoy your new apartment.

That was a quick shower.

I lost the hot water after two minutes.

Oh, that shouldn't happen. I'll have
Kyle look at the hot water here. Well,

husband, the handyman.

I guess the office is going to have to
use my cell phone until you get a second

line installed here.

Amanda Woodward.

Yes.

He did?

Terrific.

The gallery boy called.

He bailed. I knew this would happen.
Then why did you break up with him?

We were never together.

Rumor has it you slept with him.

Yeah, well, anything for the account,
right? Isn't that your philosophy?

Whatever it takes to get him to sign.

In ink. After that, do with him whatever
you want. Amanda, the guy was a wacko.

I was just being honest with him. No,
you were being an empty -headed fool.

The guy was gorgeous, rich, into
everything you're into.

I don't see any man around here.

What are you holding out for, another
madman like Michael?

All you had to do was date the guy, give
him a chance, get him to sign.

He said he loved me after one night.

I thought Michael had given up. Not
Michael, a top -shelf client.

He was moving too fast. I broke it off.
And then he blew off the agency.

Well, if the guy's a jerk.

You don't know anything about this, and
neither do you. You don't have a clue

about this business, Jane.

I'll talk to her.

What is going on here? Finish building
that house, Kyle, because I don't know

how much longer I can live here. She's
letting us stay here rent -free. Yeah,

and now I know why.

We can go to bed listening to the din of
traffic on PCH.

No one would ever pay for a room this
pathetic.

I'm going to bed. I've had a rotten day.

You okay?

Everything she said is true.

You can't think like that.

No, I'm serious. I thought advertising
would be creative, you know, but it's

not.

It's about selling.

What am I saying? It's about
manipulating.

Amanda is the best at that.

Do you ever feel like you'll never
measure up?

Every day.

What do you do about it?

You live for yourself.

And to hell with what anyone else has.

I just need a couple minutes.

Ryan, wait.

Ryan, if this is about work or Jacobi
toys, I... No, it's about us. It's about

what's going on with me.

You know, your timing is really bad, and
you... What? You said you didn't love

me, and... And what?

And can you come back tomorrow?

What are you doing?

I was, uh... I was sleeping.
