All language subtitles for 2002 - Close Enough To Touch

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hey, Ashley.

Hi.

How are you doing?

I'm doing good.

How are you?

Good.

How's your summer?

It's going okay, I guess.

It's been kind of quiet.

Are you going to be working all summer?

Just until grad school starts.

Or, you know, if I'm lucky, maybe law
school.

I thought you might be thirsty.

So I had Flora make up some lemonade
next door before she went marketing.

Thank you, Mrs. Henderson.

It's nothing.

And please, call me Amanda.

Thank you, Mrs. Henderson.

Amanda.

Mrs. Henderson, I don't think I could
call you.

Come now, Brad.

Don't you think that's a little bit
formal?

Yeah, I guess so.

Amanda, thank you for the drink.

My pleasure.

This is really good lemon. Hey, I didn't
realize you had such good lemons.

Off a backyard tree. I have good health.
Oh, yeah, you're... Lemons?

Uh -huh.

You like them?

What?

Brad.

My husband doesn't have time for
gardening.

Shall we go up to a bedroom?

Somebody might see us. I know.

That's the best.

What did you say your name was again?

Brad.

Brad.

I'm out of here. Wait, Neil.

Can't we have a little family time?

I mean, we hardly ever get to see you
anymore.

You're either off at law school or then
you're off.

Somewhere. Yeah, well, where's Suzanne?

At a modeling shoot.

We can't really have family time without
the prodigal sister, can we?

But... They ain't one of my friends,
Mom. Just one.

Jason?

Jason! I'm reading, Amanda.

Your son is asking you a question.

What question?

Never mind.

Wait, Neil!

Maybe if you brought some of your
friends around sometime.

You want me to bring friends by here?
You've got to be kidding me. This is

dysfunction 101.

I'm out of here.

What?

What did I do?

Neil?

Just a minute!

Come in!

I wanted to talk to you about an
opportunity that's come up with the

An opportunity?

Yeah, another attorney's being hired to
pick up some of the slack, and we need

another paralegal.

You recommended me to be a paralegal at
your law firm.

You have a problem with that? No, no,
not at all.

It's part -time. You can still go to law
school.

Fine, I'll make it work.

You'll need to maintain your grade point
average.

Yeah, when do I have to start?

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

I need to make senior partner, Neil.

Don't disappoint me.

Could you at least try to take a little
more interest in our children?

Suzanne is perfect.

And not that I owe you any explanations,
but I've made Neil the new paralegal at

the firm.

I'm sure he's thrilled.

Especially since you know he wanted to
spend his free time in art school. Could

you care just a little less?

Well, I guess that makes you mother of
the year.

At least I try.

Every fifth Tuesday of the month. Very
impressive.

You can't just stick Neil in your
pathetic, work -obsessed little world.

pays for all this.

And expect him to be happy.

I guess he'll just have to learn to live
with disappointments.

I do.

Every day.

You did some nice work today, Suzanne.

Here, I just finished developing these
from our last session.

These are very hot, Robert.

Oh, the client will be pleased.

Yeah, that's nice.

What about you?

I think you did a great job.

And?

And your portfolio is very impressive.

And what else?

I can't take a bad picture of you. The
camera won't let me.

So you like them.

I've been drooling into the developing
tray.

Now I know you're lying.

What do you want me to say, Suzanne?

That I'm sexy.

You already know that.

And that you're still attracted to me.

Against my better judgment.

And that you still want me.

Aren't you satisfied yet?

No.

Wait. If you're looking for an escape,
okay, I'm with you.

But let's both know why we're doing
this.

I don't want to get married, Robert.

I just want to fuck up your set a
little.

Hold that thought.

I hope so, probably.

Thank you.

Wow.

Bye -bye.

No You

mom

nearly took ten years off my life

No, no, wait, wait.

Go, get me. Go, go. Just a minute.

Come in.

I thought we should talk.

What do you want to talk about?

Well, uh, I worry about you, about your
future.

You're so young, Ashley, and for God's
sakes, Mom, I'm not a baby.

I can make my own choices and make my
own decisions.

And what if they're the wrong decisions?

What if they're not?

I just want you to be careful, honey. I
don't want you to get into something you

might regret later.

You're talking about Neil, aren't you?

I don't like him. I've made no secret of
that.

You never even gave him a chance.

He's going to be a famous attorney.

And where will you be? Right beside him.

You mean dependent upon him.

Honey, I just don't want you to get
stuck with the wrong person.

Now you're talking about Dad.

I won't miss him.

Ashley, that's your father you're
talking about.

I won't, and neither would you if you're
honest with yourself.

If it wasn't for me, you two never would
have gotten married.

That's not true, honey. I mean, who told
you that?

I heard you two arguing.

You were always arguing.

You better get some sleep, I think.

It's a little late for you to be up.

God, I was going to have to live under
there.

Hey, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

She was just in a lecture mode.

Look, Ash, about this lawyer thing...
You really want to talk about that right

now? It's just I'm having a little...
You were saying?

Nothing.

Nothing at all.

Thank you.

Hi.

Thank you.

Neil? I'm sneaking back, babe.

Be careful.

Always. You know me.

Neil? Yeah?

You seemed far away tonight.

Are you okay?

I guess so.

I don't know.

Lately, I've been feeling like I want
more.

More than me?

Ash, I don't mean it like that. I've
been feeling restless.

What I mean is...

I want more from my life.

Go ahead, then. Go search for whatever
it is that you're looking for.

But from where I sit, you have
everything right now.

You just don't appreciate it.

Neil!

You scared the crap out of me. What the
hell are you doing up there?

That's funny. I was going to ask you the
same thing, brother.

I was just dumb.

Oh, I know.

Exposing your legal briefs.

You're a wit, Suzanne.

Really.

My, you're touchy.

How's Ash?

Look, Suze, Mrs. Pratt doesn't exactly
know that I see Ashley, and I need to

keep it that way, okay?

Oh, and I thought all mothers wanted
their daughters to marry lawyers.

I think she'd rather marry anybody else
but me.

And anyways, Ashley and I are just
screwing around.

And she thinks a very overprotective mom
just wouldn't understand.

So just leave it alone, okay?

It's better that way.

As long as no one finds out.

What do you want, Suzanne?

What?

I know.

Which is why I love watching you grovel,
Neil.

I just can't think of anything I really
need from you right now.

Not yet, anyway.

But I will, little brother.

I will.

God, how I hated that shirt.

Hi, sweetie.

Off to a shoot?

For the day of fun beforehand.

Sounds like a plan. When am I going to
get to see my little girl on a cover?

Soon, Daddy. I promise.

Be careful with Suzanne, Ashley. You
know how she is.

Whatever.

Come on, Ashley. If you want to spend
the day with me today, you need to move.

Hi, Ashley.

Hi, Mr. Henderson.

Here, let me grab those.

Oh, no, no. That's okay.

No, I got them.

I got them. Okay.

Thank you very much.

Ah, no problem.

Funny thing is, we've been neighbors for
so long, I can't remember your name.

I don't feel I can call you Mrs. Pratt.

Charlotte. I'm Jason.

I know, um, my husband's mentioned you
before.

Yeah, probably, uh, on flattering terms.

Made him trim back the hedges.

Yeah, well, he didn't like very many
people.

Yeah, I'm sorry that he, uh... Oh, no,
it's okay.

If you need anything.

I know where you live.

Here's your signing bonus.

Welcome to the firm.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

I'm looking forward to us working
together.

I understand I have a paralegal to help
me out.

Is that what you really want to talk
about?

Yes. And I'd like to know more with
regards to the Stevens case.

When I left Brown and Trope, I knew that
we would work together again.

I just didn't think it would be so soon.

I hope you hired me because I'm an
excellent attorney, Mr. Henderson.

This is strictly business.

Really?

All right, Elaine.

I'll play you a little game.

I filed a motion for a partial summary
judgment in the Stevens case. I'll need

for you to do an ex parte application
while I go over the papers of the

opposition.

Together...

If we win, I will become senior partner.

And you will move up very quickly.

How quickly?

Junior partner by the end of the year,
quick enough.

So, uh... How's Amanda?

She, uh, still sleeping around behind
your back?

I'm painfully ignored.

Oh, I'm sure you are.

I guess this is where you want to leave
now.

Run along like a good little lawyer.

Work on your demears.

I could.

Tell me that you missed me.

I missed you.

And that you wanted me.

Say it.

I want you. Say it again.

I want you.

You know what you want to hear?

Huh?

You know what you want to do?

You've got an actual smile on your face.

You know how old these glasses make you
look?

I know.

Don't go.

I'm planning a party for when the court
grants my motion.

You're cocky. I'm determined.

Partial summary judgment's a big
request.

I know. That's why I have you.

75 % of the Stevens case will be gone.

Well, then we'll be primed to win, won't
we? And I will get that promotion I

deserve.

Don't you mean we?

We, yeah.

We, I meant we.

Mr. Henderson, your son is here to meet
with Miss Brill. I'm finishing up a

meeting, Marjorie. Have him wait in the
reception area of Miss Brill's office.

Your son?

Your new paralegal.

Hello.

Sorry I didn't mean to keep you waiting.

Neil Henderson.

Pleased to be reporting as your new
paralegal.

My father speaks very highly of you.

Oh, does he?

Wonderful.

Well, um, Stephen's case is most
important right now.

And, uh, well, I understand you have
classes.

And, um, well... For me?

Yeah. Go on in, and I'll catch up with
you.

Oh, don't forget your note pad.

Oh, sorry.

I was doodling while I was waiting.

It's very nice.

Thanks. Last stop.

So, are you sure it's okay that I watch
your shoot today?

Yeah, of course.

Well, you didn't seem too happy about it
when I mentioned it earlier today.

I was just PMSing or something.

Besides, can't a girl change her mind? I
guess so.

It's kind of silly, actually. But
Robert, the photographer, and I, we used

date, that's all.

I just didn't want it to be awkward or
anything for you.

Okay? Well, yeah, if you're sure about
it. I'm positive.

Okay. Come on.

All right, we'll go for some more in
here.

There you go.

That is wonderful.

Let's try another move right there.

Move that right there.

That's amazing.

That is wonderful.

Million copies.

Oh, amazing.

Beautiful, beautiful, Suzanne.

All right. Yep, okay.

Perfect. Right there.

All right.

Get another one over here.

Oh, nice.

Nice. There you are. Okay.

You just look wonderful.

Perfect. Perfect.

Okay. Flip your hand on your leg. Right
in there. Perfect.

Get up there a little bit. Okay.

Do the back. Do the back. Okay.

You look amazing.

Okay.

Okay. Pick up the snow. Pick up the
snow. Okay, right there. Yeah. Okay,

like that.

Oh, lovely.

Lovely.

Right there. Okay.

Okay. Right there.

Beautiful.

Amazing. Wonderful.

Let me get another one.

Right there.

Great curve. Great curve.

Right there.

Okay. Oh. Okay.

You know what? All the snow, we're going
to have to cancel Christmas right here.

You ready?

Oh, Suzanne.

Suzanne. You look wonderful.

Okay. Let's try this one. Right there.
There you go. Right there. Stay right

there. Oh.

Oh, lovely.

Lovely. Oh, Suzanne.

All right. Reload.

Let's do the next section, Suzanne.

Just a minute, okay?

Ashley,

um, I was thinking maybe you might want
to get some air for a bit.

I'm fine.

I'm glad, but... Ready, babe?

Just a minute.

Um, well, I don't want to shock you or
anything, but, um,

well, I do some nude modeling on the
side.

Nude?

Really?

Well, I haven't made it as a real model
yet, though I'm working on it. And you

know I like having expensive things.

I understand. It's just that I always
thought that you were, you know... I

I know what you thought.

Anyways, a woman's body is beautiful,
don't you think?

So, picture. Let's go.

All right, all right.

You're not going to tell anyone, are
you?

No, I won't tell anyone.

You got awful quiet.

Yeah, I didn't realize you lived here.
Hey, Mom, this is Brad.

He said I should bring friends by, so I
dragged him here to dinner.

You remember him. He was in my
graduating class, right?

Right after paralegal land, I ran into
him at my law school. He's going to stay

in the guest room since he's checking
out classes with me, okay?

Nice to meet you, Mrs. Henderson.

It's a pleasure, Brad.

Want a beer?

Absolutely.

Okay, wonderful.

Excellent today.

Just great.

Okay, right there, put your hand. Drag
it down a little bit.

Beautiful. Hold it right there. Stop
there.

Oh, amazing.

Yep, okay, perfect.

Perfect.

You just look wonderful.

Okay?

All right, watch right there. Okay, you
got the light.

Okay, turn your face towards me just a
little bit. Just a little bit more.

arch your back.

Bring your hand down just a little left,
right over there.

Move your hand.

Perfect. You just look amazing.

Keep your head still. Look just to your
eyes to me. Just bring your eyes to me.

Perfect.

Okay, Suzanne, that's excellent.

Excellent, Suzanne.

Okay, slowly I want you to look over at
me.

All right, there you go.

Perfect right there. Hold it just like
that.

A little bit on the hair right back in
there.

Those beautiful locks you got. Let's see
them.

Beautiful. Just like that.

Come down just a little bit. Lean in
quickly.

Through the back. Through the back.
Okay.

Right there.

Perfect.

Beautiful. You just look wonderful.
Okay. Hold it right there.

You pick up the snow a little bit.
Beautiful.

Drop it right there.

Let it just soft down. Slow right there.
Beautiful. Hold it right there.

Well, Brad, I think it's admirable that
you put yourself through law school.

Others seem to get things much too
easily.

Subtle, Dad.

You know, I don't even know why I try to
please you.

Is that why you're going to law school,
to please me?

Well, that's just great, Neil.

There's something you can have a lot of
pride in.

Lots of direction in your life, son.

Jason, stop it. Enough.

We're very proud of you, honey.

Yeah.

Can I get anybody anything else?

No, I'm fine, thank you.

Oops.

Christ, Amanda, did you have to ruin
everything?

It's all right, really. Christ, Jason,
do you overreact to your clients this

way? Can't help them.

Come on into the kitchen, Brad.

I've got a towel there.

We'll get you mopped up.

Hurry, we only have a minute.

Jesus Christ, Mrs. Henderson. I think
we've progressed to Amanda by now.

stop it. What's wrong? What's wrong?
Your husband and son are five feet away

from here.

Oh, cute. Now you're shy.

If you think for one minute... Brad.

Very nice to meet you.

You're welcome anytime.

Thank you, Mr. Henderson.

In fact, we're planning a dinner party
once the courts grant a very important

motion of mine.

You're more than invited.

Thanks.

God, Neil, your mom is, uh... Young?

Yeah, I know.

They got married in, like, senior year
of high school or something.

She even took beauty school along with
my sister Suzanne.

It was extremely embarrassing.

Come on.

Let's go.

You're leaving?

We'll be back. We've got to study.

I'll

see

you when you get back.

Limbaugh's here.

I'm leaving for the airport.

Stevenson deposition, remember?

See you tomorrow.

Like Elaine.

I mean, Miss Brill.

That's the third time you've done that.

What? Corrected yourself with her name.
What? You like her. She's my boss.

And she's beautiful.

Oh, my God, you do like her. I'm seeing
Ashley.

Oh, come on, you're in denial. Besides,
you said the whole Ashley thing was

getting old. She only likes you because
you're going to become a boring lawyer.

Oh, you want to be a boring lawyer.

But I have no talent, which means I'm
going to be a perfect lawyer. Hit my

Is that what you're going to tell Lane?

Fuck off, Brad.

Damn, you do have it bad, huh?

That looks like my sister.

You don't talk much about her.

Not much to talk about.

She's a model.

And everything that implies.

Man, I had the biggest crush on her in
high school. I don't even think she knew

my name.

Consider yourself lucky. If she had
known your name, she would have made

life miserable.

I don't know, man. I used to watch her
stand up for people being teased.

You must be confused.

Suzanne only cares about Suzanne.

You know, she did a lot of nice things
when no one was watching.

She's changed.

I hope not.

a little bit okay take up the snow a
little bit beautiful drop it right there

sort of just drop down flow right there
beautiful hold it right there

Definitely approve of the new Gordner.

He's a brand of nail.

Really?

You were out all night again.

I was, uh, club hopping.

It's important to be seen if I'm gonna
make the jump from modeling to acting.

Is there someone you're seeing?

Not yet.

But I'm working on it.

I'm ready to call in my marker now,
little brother.

Really?

Do tell.

Hey, I kept your secret from Mrs. Pratt.
Now it's payback time.

What do you want?

A date with your friend outside.

Paid for by you, of course.

Oh, and pick an expensive restaurant.

That's a real nice thought, Suzanne.
Very romantic.

But it's not going to happen.

What are you up to, Neil?

You don't think I'll do it.

Fine. I will.

It's ringing.

When you're done, let me talk to her,
because I'm sure she'd also like to know

that her daughter's good friend is a
nude model.

Maybe I'll tell Mom and Dad, too.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Should I talk first?

All right, all right.

How did you find out?

Suzanne, Suzanne.

Ain't life a bitch?

Laura!

Why is she cleaning upstairs when she
knows we haven't had breakfast yet?

It's okay, Mom.

I gotta get my books anyway.

I'm coming in. Oh, no, that's okay.

All right, thanks.

We've got to stop meeting like this. You
know, garbage really isn't the greatest

topic of conversation.

Well, I really appreciate your help.

Did you just get home?

Yeah, yeah, I just, uh, court just
granted a partial summary judgment.

Is that important?

Well, I could win a big case, get a
promotion.

Oh, wow. Well, that's exciting.

Your reference, please.

Hmm.

Hey, we're having a big, uh...

Party tomorrow afternoon to celebrate.
Why don't you and Ashley join us? Oh,

that's okay. Thanks.

Not really.

I like both of you.

Why are we doing this anyway?

I'm replacing the furniture.

All at once?

Oh, yeah. There's no sense in doing it
halfway, is there?

Yeah, I agree.

Well, let's get started.

Oh, no. I didn't mean you and I. No, no,
no. There's no way I'm going to sit in

my house and watch you drag this stuff
all the way to the curb by yourself.

All right.

But you have no idea what you just got
yourself into.

Elaine.

Ms. Brill.

Hello, Neil.

I was actually looking for your father.

He didn't come back by the office, and
I've got some paperwork here that has to

be signed.

Really? Doesn't sound like Dad. He never
misses anything that has to do with

business. Yeah, that's why I came.

Well, his plane landed hours ago, so I
know he got back.

Mom might know where he is, but she's
shopping as usual.

Why don't you come in?

Thank you.

Can I get you something to drink?

Sure. Water would be wonderful.

Thanks.

You work on the Stevens case. It's been
excellent.

Thanks.

How's law school going?

I hope our extra hours haven't hurt your
grades any. No, no, everything's been

fine. You don't talk about it much.

Yeah, I know.

Wow.

This is beautiful.

You think so?

Absolutely. I mean, look at...

The shadow and the attention to detail.

You know, I went to art school one time,
so I can appreciate good work when I

see it.

Who's the artist?

I am.

Really? Yeah, painting lawyer. Pretty
funny, huh?

Neil, you're so talented.

Why aren't you in art school or
something instead of law school?

I mean, it's obvious you don't want to
be a lawyer.

You know, I've been asking myself that
question a lot lately.

You know, take my advice for what it's
worth.

Follow your dream.

Because if you don't, you're going to
regret it for the rest of your life.

I've got to go.

Wait!

Can't believe we finished.

Theme work, huh?

I must look a mess.

I think you look...

Beautiful. I don't think beer's payment
enough, but it's all I could do on short

notice.

I'll think of something.

You okay?

Yeah, sorry.

I never had a beer before.

You're kidding, right?

My husband never allowed alcohol in the
house.

So I just bought one.

What,

the greatest trial lawyer in the country
doesn't have anything to say?

I like your laugh.

I like you.

Hi, Mr. Henderson.

Hello, Ashley.

Mom, I'm going out with Suzanne.

What are you wearing, Ashley?

What everyone of my age is wearing.

I don't think so, honey. Go right to
your room and change right now. I gotta

Ashley, wait.

I got two myself just like her.

Yeah, I know. They've influenced her.

Hey, I can't control my kids either.

Did you ever think it would be so hard?

No, that's why I've abdicated.

You have not. I'm sure you're a
wonderful father.

I try.

Look at Ashley. Bright.

Beautiful.

I guess she'll find her own way.

I gotta learn to let go.

Jay, I've never done this before.

And your wife? My wife and I married
young. We haven't had a real marriage in

years.

Do you want?

Yes. Good, because I do too.

Yeah.

I looked for you in the guest room.

I figured that much.

We had the whole house.

Sick of this shit.

Stop it.

What's the matter?

What's the matter?

You have a husband.

I know.

That's what makes it so fun.

And you're Neil's mom, all right? I
mean, you have a family.

I didn't bother you before.

Well, that was a mistake.

I'm sorry.

Wouldn't it seem funny if I said I thank
you?

No, not at all.

But I think I should be thanking you.

Kind of funny, huh, you and I?

Yeah, funny.

This was a one -time deal, wasn't it?

I can't break up a marriage.

Yeah, but you wouldn't be.

I can't do it to myself, Jason.

I just... It's not you. I just can't do
it to me.

You understand that, right?

It was fun while it lasted.

Yes, it was.

Ashley! I'll be right out. I need to
talk to you.

Take a seat. I'm almost ready.

I really want to talk to you. What
happened to your room?

Do you like it?

What's up?

I had a very enlightening week.

Sort of.

Turned my world upside down a little
bit.

And I thought that you might want to try
something a little different tonight.

Are you okay, Ash? Look, I really think
we should talk.

I'm great, really. And it's about time.

We can talk later.

Look, I think we should talk now. Not
now.

Later.

Don't look so worried.

Goodness, Neil, you can be such a dick
in the mud.

You never said that before.

When I nod...

Push the play button and promise me you
will not move until I say so. Ashley.

Promise me.

Promise.

Just sit back, watch, and enjoy.

Let's deal a golf cart and try to do
some of the school.

Let's get real crazy and lose our jobs
for something to do.

Give me too much excess.

Make it loud and crazy.

More is more is more.

Let's go.

Do you still think that you want more?

Ash, I don't... I think I know what you
meant.

You do?

Yeah.

I've been giving it a lot of thought,
actually.

I don't want to hurt you, Ash.

It's okay.

We've been together a long time, and I
think that it's time that we break out

this perfect little mold that we put
ourselves in.

I always love you.

You know that.

I always love you, too.

Hi there, Mr. Henderson.

Hi, Ashley.

Looking for Neil? Not exactly.

Enjoying your workout?

Yeah.

You look great.

Very muscular.

And very hot.

Thank you.

Where's your mom?

Oh, she's out trying on new men. I mean,
dresses.

Strong equipment.

I like that.

Helps relieve stress.

I'll have to try it.

You know, I was going to ask if you'd
seen my car keys, but I think I'll walk.

Neil, wait. Shut up. You disgust me.

Neil, what are you doing here?

I brought the signed papers, but I want
to talk to you.

Talk?

You can't do it, Elaine. You can't just
turn my thoughts upside down and then

leave. Everything's changed now.
Everything's different.

Look, Neil.

I didn't make any decisions for you.

You knew exactly what you wanted before
I even walked into your life.

You didn't have the guts to do it.

But I do now.

But I don't want to do it alone.

Look, I...

I don't want you to regret this
tomorrow.

I won't.

Neil, if you're making this big decision
because of me, don't do it.

Elaine, I'm doing this because it's time
I became the person I've always wanted

to be.

Nothing to say?

Well, I'm proud of you.

Thanks, Mom.

Neil, what do you want me to say?

Then you'll start over with me.

Then you'll tell my dad and his cronies
to kiss off. We can pursue our dreams

together. Look, I have a life. I have a
career. And you're miserable.

I'm content.

You're walking dead. I know. I've been
there.

Look, I can't, okay? It's too late for
me.

No, it's not.

I won't let it be.

Neil, you're so young.

I'm so right.

Don't make me decide now.

I can't think.

Don't think.

Feel.

Bye.

Yeah.

Gin and tonic.

Coming right up.

I don't think we've met. I'm Suzanne,
Neil's fabulous sister.

I'm Brad, and I don't think your brother
ever gave you that kind of introduction

before. Probably not.

So, you like a twist with your gin and
tonic?

I like a lot of things.

Quite a piece of work, aren't you? You
notice.

That means I must be doing a good job.

I know you, you know.

Excuse me?

We went to high school together.

Really? That's nice.

You'll excuse me, won't you?

What are you running away from?

I don't run away from anything.

So why don't you just stay here and talk
to me?

Suzanne, you look beautiful, as always.
Let's see.

Brad, will you step up my dress?

Actually, he promised me a walk around
the grounds before the party starts.

Didn't you, Brad?

Excuse us. This is a

really

nice yard.

Even better, because I'm in it.

Hold up, Suzanne.

You're playing hard to get.

No, I just want to get to know you.

What you see is what you get.

No, that's what everyone else gets.

I want more.

What if there isn't any more?

I think there is.

What are you, a shrink?

No.

But I could be your friend.

You know, I remember you in high school,
Suzanne.

You were kind and sweet. I mean, you
weren't afraid of just being yourself.

Yeah, well, that girl got hurt a lot.

Well, maybe that girl went out with the
wrong guys.

Maybe.

I'm not good at playing games.

And I'm tired of playing them.

You're quiet.

Thank you.

What about?

About what it'll be like to just be
myself.

It's scary, but I think I could like it.

I could get used to it.

Me too.

Stephen's judgment was a coup.

My sons, apparently, were working up the
details with Brill for the hearings. We

need to circulate. If you'll excuse us.

Talk to you later.

The witch and all the kids here.

Should I get more warm or should I get
to guess?

Well, I'll show you mine if you show me
yours.

Bastard. Bitch.

Judith, so good to see you again.

Elaine, can I get you a drink?

No, I'm fine, thank you.

Hello. Welcome to our home.

I don't believe we've met.

I'm Amanda, Jason's wife.

Elaine Grill.

A new attorney at your husband's office.

Really?

Fascinating.

Miss Brill is parched. Come on, I'll get
you a drink. No.

No, I wouldn't hear of it.

You two stay and chat.

I'll get you a drink.

Thank you.

You two belong together.

Move it, buddy.

Bug you straight up. Make it a double.

You're a very lucky woman.

You think he's so great, you marry him.

I'm paying you. Keep it filled.

Who's your son?

How should I know?

Don't you care?

I care.

He'll turn up.

Aren't we going to talk about us?

There's no us, Jason.

You know, I've been becoming a person
that I don't like very much lately.

That's going to change.

What are you talking about?

I'm switching firms.

Our compilation is on your desk, and it
will win you the Stevens case, since

that's what you care about.

That and what's between your legs.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to
go find Neil.

Neil?

What the hell is going on between you
and that pathetic excuse of a son?

Jason, your son is more of a man than
you will ever be.

Get your hand off me.

I heard someone say that the bartender
needs more wine.

Okay.

Then I'll help.

I can't stop thinking about the other
day in the gym.

Ashley, look, I don't think... Don't you
find me attractive?

Well, of course, but I... I'd have to be
blind not to.

I think that you are very handsome.

Ashley, stop.

I want you.

Stop. I can't.

I want you. It's not you. It's me. I'm
sorry.

Ashley, you're so young.

But you can teach me.

Actually, listen.

I have made too many mistakes to teach
you anything.

Please, just forget that this ever
happened.

Find somebody who is going to really
love you and make you happy.

You were spying on me?

I was worried about you. You were
worried about me.

Yes, I was.

No, you weren't.

You just wanted to be able to sit there
and say I told you so.

That's not true, Ashley. I... I just
wanted someone

who would love me.

You will find someone, sweetheart. You
will.

Honey, I promise you, you'll find them,
usually when you're not looking for

them. Like you did.

I made a mistake, Ashley. I should have
left your father a long time ago.

I've learned my lesson.

You have to find someone who wants to
share your life, not own it.

Maybe, with a little luck, we can find
that together.

Hmm? I'd like that. Me too.

Let's go home, huh?

Well, hello, friends, family,
associates.

The son has returned.

Neil, what are you doing?

He didn't get a chance to change.

Your father will see you. Ask me if I
care.

This is who I am, Mom. I'm sorry if it's
a disappointment to you.

Elaine.

Neil.

You're late.

This is the person I wanted to see.

You want to go for a ride, escape this
party, prison?

Be my other half.

I'd love to, but I can't. Tell me you
understand that.

Come outside.

There's something I want to show you.

Bye, Mom.

Tell Dad I said hi.

You know, on second thought, never mind.

Wait, wait, wait. Neil, you know, Jason.

You know what? Come here. I am so proud
of you. Do you know that? I'm proud of

you. You've got to see this.

What did you do?

I got her today.

She's beautiful.

You inspired me.

You inspired me, too.

For a while, it was a wonderful dream.

Thanks.

Neil! What are you doing?

I'm leaving, Dad.

Traded in the Beamer for this beauty,
and I'm off to see the world.

Maybe be an artist, maybe... Not with my
money, you're not.

No.

On mine.

See, I got a little something, too.

And it'd mean the world to me if you
took it.

I can't.

I'll call you from now on. Please.

Don't.

Bye.

Neil. Neil, you're not throwing your
life away on this art dream. Now you get

back in that house!

Neal, you get back here.

Neal!

Well, Amanda, at least we still have
each other.

Yes, we do have that.
