You're Ryan's daughter?

But don't you live in New York?

Not anymore.

Oh, great. You ran away.

Look, do you know where my father's or
not? He's probably out on a hot date.

With Megan?

Wait a second. I'm Megan.

I mean, with the other Megan. The Megan
who came to see me in New York with...

With you.

Where's your collar, father?

Um...

A father? The kid's delusional. Why
don't you come in and we'll have some

cocoa and we'll straighten everything
out, okay? Now, by any chance, did the

other Megan have red hair?

Yeah. How'd you know?

Well, sometimes people get it confused.

So calm down, Ryan. I mean, if it were
for you, she wouldn't have run away in

the first place.

Oh, you're kidding. Now it's my fault?

You mean you're constantly upsetting
her?

You're coming by whenever you feel like
it and calling at all hours?

I don't know who the hell you think you
are.

Well, he's her father.

You stay out of this. No, no, I am her
father. And you know what? I think

doing anything you can to turn Sarah
against me. Oh, please.

What? Mayday.

Ryan's kitchen. Just walk through
Megan's front door.

What is it? Oh, my God.

I found Sarah. She's in California.
California?

Sarah, honey?

No, no, no. This is Michael, honey.
Sarah, honey's in the kitchen having

with Megan. Hold on. I'll get it for
you.

I'm talking to my daughter. Do you mind?

Sarah, don't ask me how, but I found
your father.

Daddy? Hey, Sarah, you okay?

I'm fine. Where are you?

I'm at St. Agnes. It's your school.
Why'd you run away?

I wanted to see you.

I needed to see you.

Oh, well, look, I'll see you tomorrow.
I'm going to have Megan take you over to

Uncle Kyle's at the beach. You'll really
like him.

Okay? Everything's going to be all
right. I'll be back.

Uh, Ryan?

Hey, listen, I know the timing's kind of
awkward, but will you do me a favor?

Take Sarah over to Kyle's?

Well, why can't she stay here?

Yeah, I don't want her near Michael.
And, you know, don't take this the wrong

way, but neither are you two or family.

All right, you're right.

She needs to be with family.

I'll take her right over.

Tell Kyle I'll pick her up tomorrow. And
Megan...

It's okay.

Kyle's going to take care of her. No,
I'm the one who's responsible.

No, no, I know that you're responsible,
okay? I'm sure you take great care of

Sarah, but you must have said something
to her to get her to run across the

country like that. I never said or did
anything.

All right, you guys, look, shouldn't we
just be happy that Sarah's okay?

Yeah. She'll be okay when she's back
here where she belongs. Well, we'll see.

That's one of the reasons I came out was
to find out if she does belong here.

Are you threatening a custody battle?

You know, I guess I am.

Come on, Lexi.

I wonder why Sarah ran away.

What did she say, huh?

Lexi, I know that you're up to your butt
in all this.

Unless, of course, you can explain why
Michael called you when Sarah showed up

on Megan's doorstep.

I didn't think so.

I'm sure there's a logical explanation
for this, other than the one that's

raising my blood pressure. Yeah, and
you'll never guess what.

I'm trying not to.

Uh, you're never going to believe who
this is.

Sarah, I want you to meet your Aunt
Amanda.

Hi, Aunt Amanda.

Aunt Amanda?

Uh, Ryan's daughter.

Oh. Oh, of course, Ryan's daughter.

She's just spending the night we're
making up her bed. Ryan's in New York.

Oh, well, that bed looks pretty comfy,
and I'm exhausted, and I want to get in

my bed, too. So what do you say we have
a contest and see who can fall asleep

first? You're on.

Okay, well, I should get going. I'll see
you in the morning, and you sooner than

that, I hope.

We're tired.

Go ahead. I can take care of this.

But Daddy always does my prayers with
me.

Now I lay me down to sleep.

I pray the Lord must go to keep thy love
day with me through the night and wake

me with morning light.

In my head, a young man said he didn't
even know my name.

Pulled away with a wink and an arm full
of secrets, took down a rival name.

Right from what I said, I don't want to
survive. Oh, oh, it's going to change my

past.

Well, I'll just die, then skin the
throat.

I've got nothing left.

Good morning.

Hey. Some fresh Colombian kickstart,
just the way you like it. Oh, just what

need, thank you. What you need to do is
get away from that club for a while.

Oh, I'll be all right.

Amanda had me entertaining Tony Marlin
again, that's all. She's really trying

land his cruise line account. She wanted
me to make sure he had a good time.

What does that mean, have a good time?

I don't know.

Talk to him, sing to him, give him a
special night.

Well, I could say something right now,
but we'd probably wind up fighting.

Peter. I'm Amanda's personal
entertainment consultant.

Sounds to me like you're turning into
his concubine.

God, I hope that's a joke.

Eve, listen to me.

You know, Amanda uses people to get
ahead, especially in business. Now,

or no friend, just warning you, you
could get hurt here. Don't worry. I

get hurt. I won't let that happen.

Well, maybe you might consider being my
entertainment consultant for a quick

little trip to...

Maui. The tickets, you got them.

Where did those... I don't... Do you
want to go? I don't even know if you

to go.

Peter, I love you.

Oh, I can't believe how late I am.

Michael, stop right there.

You're not going anywhere until I get
the truth. And don't tell me you have

of those faces. Sarah recognizes you
from New York. Okay, okay.

I ran into her once, but that's it.
Where? In New York? At the zoo? At the

Natural History Museum in Central Park?

Actually, it was the St. Agnes School
for Girls. But it was Lexi's idea. She

doing a background check on, well, Ryan.

Well, first I talked to Gail and Robin
and Jennifer about your engagements.

Wait, check that. First I got them
drunk.

You talked to my ex -fiances?

Yeah, blimps at the palm court.

All three of them together?

Mm -hmm. And they all had the same
story.

You get engaged, and then you get cold
feet.

And sure enough, when you came back from
New York, you broke off your engagement

with Megan.

See, Lexi realized that something or
someone was keeping Ryan from getting

married. And he wasn't talking, so we, I
mean, she figured the answer was in New

York. So we broke into your apartment
looking for any sort of clues, and sure

enough, we found the visitor's pass to
St. Agnes.

You broke into my apartment? You broke
into his apartment?

Not exactly. We drugged him first.

That was easy. I mean, we went to St.
Agnes school and we found Sarah.

Wait a minute. How did you get into St.
Agnes? You have to be either a relative

or work there.

Or a nun.

You pretended to be a nun?

You dressed up like a priest?

Believe it or not, I was very
convincing.

I had this heart -to -heart with Sarah
and I told her that, you know, you'd

never get engaged again without her
permission.

The letter?

So that's why he came by my apartment
the other night. He wanted to tell me

about Sarah and the letter and the whole
thing, and that's why he wanted me to

know about the affair with Lexi, because
he wanted me to break off the

engagement, because Sarah didn't want
him to get married again.

Megan, I'm glad you understand why I did
what I did.

Understand? I'm a heartbeat away from
strangling you, Michael.

Ryan, I only did this because I love
you.

You're my Mr. Right. You always have
been.

I had to take some desperate measures.

Desperate? No, no.

Pathetic measures, Lexi, okay? If these
windows opened right now, you'd be

skydiving. It's no wonder Megan hates
me. I can't imagine Ryan's pain.

Poor Megan.

Poor Ryan.

Mr.

Woodward, would you like to join your
party now?

Oh, I'm not ready to interrupt just yet.

Okay.

So I stood in center field on that
Saturday, and I sang the national anthem

sold -out stadium.

I was 13 years old. I don't know whether
I was fearless or incredibly naive.

You don't strike me as naive.

Ah, you wouldn't say that if you knew me
better.

Growing up in Oakhurst, California, 15
years in prison for a crime you didn't

commit, I make it a point to really get
to know people.

Who told you, Amanda?

No, I just did a little checking on
Amanda, too.

So far, I've been impressed with
everything I've seen on both of you.

Tony, I'm sorry I'm late. Traffic was
horrible.

I hate to say this, Amanda, but we're
going to have to talk later. I'm already

pushing my next meeting. Later, of
course, but just so you know, the plans

your commercial are coming along
beautifully.

I'm sure you'll be impressed.

Oh, and I'll call you later with an
incredible casting suggestion.

I can't wait.

Thank you for a memorable breakfast.

Good work.

What do you mean? I didn't do anything.
I was just supposed to be here to help

you sell an idea. Well, you sold the
idea, all right. The idea was you.

You're going to be my casting
suggestion.

You're going to star in our commercial.

But why me?

Well, let's see, because you're my
friend, because you're inexpensive, and

because Tony Marlin adores you.

I don't know.

What's there to know? I mean, this is a
chance of a lifetime.

Where would Kathy Lee be if she hadn't
done her commercial and met Frank

Gifford? First of all, I already have my
Frank Gifford and all the money I need.

And second of all, I can't act. This
isn't about acting. This is about using

your spectacular good looks.

You're beautiful. Just think beautiful
and help me. Please, all I'm asking is

for one week out of your life to shoot
the commercial.

And if Tony buys it, my agency is the
biggest on the West Coast. And I don't

have to grovel after smaller clients.
Please, please do this for me. Okay, all

right. All right, you have a deal on one
condition.

Don't ever compare me to Kathy Lee ever
again.

Ever.

Great.

Megan.

Hi. Hi.

Welcome back.

Thanks. I was just getting a blanket. I
came by to check on Sarah, and Kyle

invited me to stay.

Oh, yeah. Well, thanks again for
bringing her here. Yeah, she's an

Yeah. I know she's dying to see you.

Now that you're here, I should probably
get going. They're just down at the

beach.

I just want to say I'm sorry for the way
I treated you, for the things that I

said.

It was stupid. It was cruel. I
understand.

You do?

Mm -hmm.

I mean, my God, all those things that
Michael and Lexi did to you.

Daddy! Sarah!

Sarah!

Hey!

All right. Hey, is this your Frisbee?

Got your note.

Oh, my God.

What? What have you done to a man's
apartment? It looks like a brothel in

You would know.

Oh, uh, by the way, if you weren't aware
of it, you'd have to find a new boy to

seduce.

Ryan is probably out shopping for swing
sets by now, thanks to you.

Would you quit panicking? This isn't a
temporary setback.

You know, I don't know why I listened to
you in the first place.

I had Megan in the palm of my hand.

And now I'm dead in the water.

It's all over.

Yeah, making schmagan, honey. It's not
over till I say it's over.

We'll have to make a few little
adjustments.

Like what?

Shooting the kid?

No, Michael.

Actually, the kid is not our problem.
The kid is our solution.

Once I'm done with her, she's going to
beg Ryan to marry me.

Wow.

Using a kid.

How low can you go?

A lot lower.

I mean, I used you, didn't I?

How's it going?

It's going.

You used a good dinner.

It was nice to see Sarah and Ryan
hanging out together.

I bet, in the same room and everything.

So what are you working on, a new
account?

I'm working on how to pay for it. In
order to produce the commercial, I have

downsize. I'm letting half my staff go.

Wait, is that Jane's name?

Yeah, it's a tough call, but the truth
is Jane's okay financially.

She's your friend.

We're staying at her beach house rent
-free. I'm aware of that.

Really? Are you really?

You know what? Who gives a damn about
your commercial? We're talking about

friends. We're talking about loyalty.

You know, this may seem heartless to
you, but it's business to me. Good

business. So you abandoned Jane for the
bottom line?

Listen to you. You'd think she was your
mother or wife or lover.

What's that supposed to mean?

You tell me, Mr. Handy -to -have -around
-the -house.

Okay, I get it.

So you can't keep her on because she's
your friend? You have to fire her

she's my friend? This is going nowhere.

You're right. You fire Jane, you and I
are through.

Put on sunblock like I asked?

Tons, Dad. I'll be the palest person in
California.

I look like I don't even live here.

You know, we still have to talk about
that.

You mean how I got all the way across
the country by myself?

I cashed in Aunt Terry's freaking flyer
miles.

All of them.

Oh, no.

Ryan McBride? That's me. You have a
signature? Uh -huh.

Oh, it's a letter from some lawyers.
They want me to return you to your Aunt

Terry.

What if I don't want to be returned?

Don't you worry about it.

I want you to have fun at the beach, and
I'll take care of the rest.

I can get lawyers, too, you know.

But I want to stay with you.

They can't make me go back.

Can they?

If they do, it'll just be for a while, I
promise.

I apologize for the short notice, but
what I have to say is very important.

Sorry I'm late.

You're just in time.

I have some bad news.

This agency is at a critical point in
its history, and in order to survive,

we're going to have to downsize.

So I'm asking those of you whose names
are on the list to stay with me and work

harder than ever.

And those of you who are leaving, I
offer my sincere regrets.

Thank you for understanding.

Jane, you've been here longer than me,
okay? I'll talk to Amanda. She can fire

me and you can stay. What are you
saying? I should go. Last hired, first

I'll be fine, okay? Let me take care of
it. No, you won't be fine. You can't win

a custody fight without the job.

Neither of you is going anywhere. The
truth is, I'm not right for this

I don't have the stomach for it.

It's not fair.

Jane, I don't want you to think... What?

That this is personal? Of course it is.
You and I both know it.

Hey,

Sarah.

Remember me?

You're the one who pretended to be a nun
and pretended to be Megan.

Who are you pretending to be today?

What are you doing here, Lexi?

Oh, is that her real name?

Uh, I think so.

Ah, you McBrides, you're all alike.

Such kidders.

Listen, Sarah, I was just thinking about
going to Disneyland.

You want to join me?

Thanks, but I'd rather go with my father
and my uncle.

And the real Megan.

Well, what now? You and I take a walk,
Lexi. I'll be right back, sweetheart.

Come on.

What's going on, Lexi? What are you up
to?

What? Sarah and I are friends. I thought
we could have a good time.

Come on, you're acting like I got some
sort of hidden agenda.

What's hidden about it? I want to thank
you for stopping by. Next time, call for

us. We'll save on gas.

Oh, mock away, smartass.

But I love children, and children love
me.

I thought a Michael Wood children's, you
know.

Exactly when are you taking me to
Disneyland?

When am I taking you to Disneyland?
Right after we put a few more nails in

wood. Come on. Ready?

Thanks.

Hey.

What's so urgent? I came here as soon as
I could.

I've got great news. Don Perignon.

Well, what are we celebrating?

Amanda cast me in her new commercial.

I am the spokesperson for Tony Marlin's
cruise line.

Really? Oh, that's great.

I know what you're thinking, but I owe
this to Amanda for everything she's done

for me.

Yeah.

Spokesperson, huh? Actually, I get to
think, too, kind of like Kathy Lee. But,

Peter, I want you to know that I won't
put business before us.

Amanda or no Amanda.

Well, okay, let's get to the champagne,
then, huh? A little celebration to Maui

and your new job.

To Maui.

To the next Kathy Lee.

Hey, what's up?

Dad's in the conference room.

Couldn't take it anymore listening to
them try to pick out a song for that

commercial.

Got a tenure, you know.

I'm just picking a song out. This is
great stuff, this flattened stuff. It's

its own rhythm thing.

So, Sarah tells me you could use some
help.

No, no, I'm fine, fine. Just, you know,
narrowing it down.

So what are you down to?

Oh, about 135 songs.

I feel like I'm losing my mind. It's all
sounding the same.

Oh, I love this one. I have this at
home.

Remember, I used to play this when we...

Well, to be honest with you, I wasn't
really paying attention.

I was concentrating on other things.

Remember?

Mm -hmm.

Mm -hmm. It's coming back to me now.

It makes me want to move.

Yeah, it makes me want to dance.

No, no, no. Move. There's a big
difference, you know.

There is a big difference.

Huge.

Um, yeah.

Great. Uh, yeah, um, that's it. That's
the song. I'm glad I could help. Good

night, everyone. Yeah, thanks.

What was that all about?

Oh, yeah, that. We were, we were just,
um, just dancing.

That wasn't dancing.

You didn't say, I'm not saying sex
education.

Oh, jeez, this is impossible.

This furniture doesn't fit.

Michael, you're supposed to have the
skilled hands of a surgeon. Don't knock

these hands. You bought a defective
dollhouse. Pieces are missing.

Oh.

You see that?

Nothing fits.

Michael, trust me. This is going to
benefit us both. You're going to be

me big time. All over a dollhouse? I
don't think so. This is not just a

dollhouse. This is a home.

Look. With a mommy.

And a daddy.

Look. And a little... You see, it's a
family. This is exactly what Sarah

What are you doing?

Well, I'm just checking to see if it's
anatomically correct.

Well, let me get this straight. The red
-haired doll, that's Lexi, and this stud

doll, this is Ryan, huh?

And the little girl is Sarah.

You see, this is a game that you're
getting. It's played on sentiment, not

And if you play your game right, you'll
end up with your own doll house with a

nice little blonde ex -hooker to go with
it.

Kyle home?

No.

Did you tell him?

Oh, and spoil your fun?

We'll be out first thing in the morning,
unless you want to throw us out

tonight. Yeah, you'd like that, wouldn't
you?

You'd like me to throw you out so that
you can look like the victim and I would

look like the bitch. Jane, none of this
has been easy.

Don't take it personally.

How should I take it?

I mean, I was your friend, and you fired
me.

And then you cut me out like you cut out
everyone sooner or later, like you're

cutting out Kyle now.

Leave Kyle at it. Why?

I mean, that is why you fired me.

Because you're jealous of our
relationship?

Oh, now it's a relationship.

Kyle called it a friendship.

Well, as a friend, I think you treat him
crappy.

Well, who the hell asked you? If he
doesn't share your dream, he doesn't

your life. Right, Amanda?

Yeah, I shouldn't just fire you. I
should kick your ass.

Take your best shot.

You're scared, aren't you, Amanda?

I mean, you pretend to be the big boss,
but in the end, you're just cowering in

the corner like some kind of animal.

Kyle is mine.

You go near him, and I'll eat you alive.

It's coming back to me.

Makes me want to move.

Well, the dinner is cold, and the wine
is warm.

But we can still decorate the Christmas
tree. I mean, that was the whole idea,

right? To do that together.

Was it the whole idea?

Oh, sure.

I mean, I did go out and buy the tree
and the ornaments. I mean, I'm ready.

Well, yeah, I'm ready, too. I've been
ready for weeks.

We're not talking about Christmas trees
anymore, are we?

You see, McBride's father stares in his
face.

He had a nervous breakdown, whatever
that means.

I'm not having a nervous breakdown. I'm
just, uh, thinking is all.

You're funny.

You love Megan.

Megan loves you.

You're happy when you're with her, and
you're sad when you're not.

You two should be together.

So what do you do? You think about it?

I just want to be sure.

How long did you think before you were
sure about Mom?

I didn't do a whole lot of thinking in
those days. I acted first, and if I

thought about it, it was much later.

Lucky for me.

Yeah.

Is Megan a lot like Mom?

How do you mean?

Did you laugh with Mom the way you
laughed with Megan?

Did you dance with her the way that you
danced last night?

Is that why you love Megan?

Because she reminds you of Mom?

No.

No, I love Megan because she reminds me
of Megan. And I love Mom because she

reminds me of Mom.

If anybody reminds me of Mom, it's you.

You're beautiful like she was. You're
smart.

You're brave.

You mean Mom wasn't afraid of the dark
or the boogeyman?

No. No, I mean Mom wasn't afraid to
stand up for what she believed in.

Just like you, you're not afraid to say
what's on your mind.

I'm not as brave as you think.

There's something I've been afraid of
and I never told you.

I'm afraid that if you forget about Mom,
you'll forget about me.

That's why I made you promise not to get
married again.

I'll never forget about you.

I love you.

I love you more than anything.

Maybe you should break that promise.

It was stupid, isn't it? No, it wasn't.

Dad, what I mean is maybe it's time to
stop thinking and start

proposing.

That's good advice.

Since you know so much, why don't you
show me how to fly?

Think you can handle it? I don't know.

All right.

How do you get to go high like this
before?

Ravel it. What? Let the air do all of
it.

You're up early, big day? Very big.

We're moving.

We're what?

We can't live here anymore. It's
destroying us. What are you talking

What's going on?

Oh, no. You did it. You fired Jane when
I told you. Don't go there. Don't tell

me how to run my business.

No, I am trying to tell you how to act
like a human being. No, you're

threatening me and giving me ultimatums.
How human is that? You're destroying

our marriage. Well, we've got to do
something with it. Yeah, we fix it. We

on it. Or put it out of its misery.

Hey, you can't mean that.

Every word.

You know what? I get it now. This is
your way out. You knew how I was going

react. This had nothing to do with Jane.
Jane was just another disposable

friendship. Jane got exactly what she
deserved. Yeah, so did I, I guess. No,

got the best of me, and it was never
enough.

But you're free now. You can go find
that ideal woman.

Hell, she might even be in that beach
house. You are my ideal woman.

No,

I have too much ambition for you, and
you can't deal with it.

You can't keep up.

Hey there, kiddo. Put on your clown
makeup because we have tickets to the

circus.

Uh, gee.

Um, I don't think so, but thanks anyway.

What, you don't like the circus?

You know what? I don't blame you. Those
animals smell.

No problem.

Why don't you and I take a little cruise
down Rodeo Drive, huh?

Do a little damage on my gold card.

Um, it's okay.

I'm happy here.

Well, right.

Who wouldn't be with a brand -new
dollhouse, huh?

You like it, don't you?

Lexi, you don't have to do this.

What? I love dollhouses.

You don't have to win me over just to
get to Dad.

Oh.

Well, I just wanted you to like me.

It doesn't matter who I like. It matters
who he likes. From everything I've seen

so far, Megan's the one for him.

Well, honey, I don't know about that.

She's the only woman he ever talks
about, the only woman he ever dances

the only woman he ever kisses, the only
woman he ever... Enough! I get the

point.

Sorry.

If you want your dollhouse back, I'll
understand.

How about lunch at Spago? There's tons
of movie stars, huh?

Maybe some other time.

Hey, Pete. Hey.

Buy your beer?

Yeah. Sounds good.

Look, I made an offer to Eve. I'm
selling my 50 % of the club, and since

already owns half, I'm giving her first
shot.

So you and Amanda are getting out of the
business? This doesn't have anything to

do with me and Amanda. It just has to do
with me selling my 50%. Hey. Hey.

Kyle tell you about his offer? Isn't
that great?

Yeah. Yeah, it's nice. It's a big
decision. You know, maybe we ought to

about it. Oh, yeah, sure. No, take your
time.

Kyle, can you just give us a second?

Yeah. Look, if you want to buy this
club... No, no, no, no, no. That's not

this is about.

They want to shoot the commercial at the
exact same time we're in Maui.

Shoot it next week?

It took me a month to arrange my
schedule. I know, but Amanda's in this

hurry and there's nothing I can do.

Well, then forget about it. Blow the job
off. Quit.

You know I can't do that. Well, they
have to rearrange our schedule. I can't

them to do that.

Well, I can.

Got the handle to you, Amanda.

It's coming together.

I knew you'd like it.

Hey! I hope I'm not crashing the party.
I was in the neighborhood. Oh, come in.

Tony Marlin, this is Peter Burns. This
is Eve's husband.

Hey, Tony.

Nice to meet you, Doc. Great save over
at that hospital.

About the whole thing, I understand.

Yeah. It's better the way I do business.
If someone irritates me, I put them out

of business.

What do you think?

Wow.

Look at that.

You know, it's too bad you're shooting
that commercial next week. Eve and I are

going to be in Maui.

Since when?

Amanda didn't mention it.

I'll leave it to you to handle, Amanda.

I've got to run.

You'll work it out? Yes.

Nice to meet you, darling. Oh, you too,
sir.

I have a million dollars riding on this,
and you expect me to put it off so that

you could take a vacation?

Maybe you and Kyle should take one.

When I need a travel agent, I'll call
one. Why don't you just admit it? Your

marriage is on the rocks. So what if it
is? That doesn't change the start date

of the commercial.

All right, Amanda, I'm asking you as a
friend here.

And if I don't say yes, you'll hate me,
right?

Well, I don't care if you hate me. I
don't care if Kyle hates me or Jane

me. It doesn't matter anymore.

In fact, I would like nothing better
than to be left alone.

You split up with Kyle, didn't you?

That's right. My marriage is over.

And for the first time in a long time, I
feel great.

So if you'll get out of here, I can
finish my work.

What?

I love all the new lingerie you bought
me.

You're taking this on your cruise? What
kind of business trip is this anyway,

huh? The kind a wife can get very lonely
on unless her husband was there every

night to tear these off.

You want me to go on this cruise with
you? I packed all sorts of things to

you forget Maui. Well, what am I going
to do the whole time?

There are 24 hours in a day.

I only work eight of them.

So you can just imagine all the things
we can do with the other 16.

It boggles the mind.

I told

you that little girl would be a problem,
but no.

Yeah, well, she says that Megan is the
only woman that Ryan ever talks about or

dances with or kisses or et cetera, et
cetera. You mean Megan is doing et

cetera, et cetera behind my back? Honey,
she's probably doing et cetera, et

cetera right now. What do you expect of
a slut?

Whoa, hey, hey, that's the woman I love
you're talking about. You don't love

her. You just want her. Men just want
women. Yeah, men know what they want.

That's more than I can say for women.
Yeah, you just want her because you

have her. No way.

If I wanted every woman I couldn't have,
I'd go crazy.

Michael, you're living in this dump.
You're playing with dolls.

That's not crazy.

Well, I mean, you know, we needed a
better plan.

Oh, I was a great nun.

What? Yeah, I'm not searching for Mr.

Right, headhunting for a maid. You know,
that's for geeks.

Not for a woman of your anatomy.

Anatomy? You know, that is such a
doctor's word. I've had my fill of

Oh, yeah? Well, I've had my fill of
redheads.

Oh, great. Now I'm just another redhead?
Honey, you don't know redheads until

you know this redhead. Oh, yeah? Well,
I've never met a redhead undressed in a

laundry room before. Well, it's my
laundry room. I can do whatever I want

Et cetera, et cetera. Hell, yeah.

Oh.

Yeah, Michael.

Are you sure you want to do this?

Since they were back to New York?

Well, just until I can get a lawyer and
open up the custody question again.

Hey, um, thanks for everything you've
done.

Yeah.

So what are we going to do about us,
huh?

Oh, yeah, that's right.

Well, I know what I don't want to do.

I don't want to mess up again.

Or rush into anything?

Or send me signals.

Always thin mixed signals. Changed your
mind.

You changed your mind, too. Yeah, but it
was only after you changed your mind.

It was?

Yeah. Oh, yeah, I guess it was.

All right, I know that I never want to
hurt you again.

Can we start from there?

Yeah, I think that's a great start.

I've never spent so much money for a
candy bar in my entire life.

Weren't that your flight?

Look, I'm going to call you every day. I
can't do this. I can't go back.

Yeah, I know this is hard, but you have
to, just for a little while.

Oh, my God, look at you two. This is
crazy. You're family. Family should

together. If you're going to have a
custody fight, I think you should fight

from here.

I don't know. We'd be risking
everything.

Well, risk it, damn it. She's worth it.

Yeah, damn it. I'm worth it.

Yeah, damn it.

You are worth it.

Don't ever use the word damn it again.

Amanda, good.

Finally. I had to make a stop before I
came here. I guess I should have called

first. I was beginning to think that you
changed your mind again. Oh, quite the

opposite. And I happened to bring along
another check for the entire sum of my

investment. And some champagne to
celebrate our new club.

I guess this means it's really going to
happen, huh? I guess so.

Congratulations, partner.

You know what? What do you say we keep
this professional and we just shake

hands? Kyle, if you're still feeling
weird about that kissing last night...

no weirdness at all. I mean, we're
business partners, nothing more, so

skip the bubbly, get our club built.

Hey, what are you doing here?

Oh,

those things I said.

I don't know where all that came from. I
never should have said the things I

said either. I'm sorry.

Me too.

I'm sorry for every fight that we ever
had.

A fight. A couple of fights.

Yeah, about the small things. But for
you and me, it was always the big

Somewhere along the line, I lost you.

You lost the fantasy of who you wanted
me to be. Someone I could never be.

And I don't do well during that.

And there were plenty of those, right?

Running down the house, rehab, baby.

Right now?

Yeah.

I'm selling my half of the club to Eve
to give you the money. Oh, you don't

to do that. For your half of the beach
house.

I want to finish it this time.

You'll be happy there.

I hope you don't hate me.

No, I don't. I thought I would, but I
don't.

You just feel empty.

Yeah.

And a little relieved.

I mean... I know what you mean.

It's funny.

This is where it all started, right?

Right here in this room.

You give me the money for my dream.

And this is where it ends with me giving
it back.
