Careful. Whoa,

whoa, whoa. Whoa, what was that?

These are sash and droids, Ross. If you shoot some of those, you can use spare

parts to be a Starfleet.

Ooh.

Hey, black hole, black hole. No.

That's a bag.

Careful.

Whoa, I don't know.

Black hole.

What do you think? That's a pretty good game, dude.

That's your best work ever.

I killed myself trying to meet the deadline for that thing, I'll tell you

Someone was in my office this morning.

Drives me fucking crazy when people come in my office.

Ethan, Ethan, Ethan.

Morning.

They've decided to move the debut of the new Proteus system up six months.

Now, you know we are positioning the Proteus to be the biggest thing to hit

video games since 3D graphics.

Well, it is. I mean, I've been testing some of the beta platforms, and I'll

you what, Spencer, the processing speed?

Unbelievable. Great.

Marketing also wants a new game to debut with the Proteus system. Something

totally radical.

Out -of -the -box kind of stuff.

Now, Ethan, you're our best programmer, so I want you on it. Okay.

And I want a list of ideas on my desk within the week.

Within the week? Come on.

I've been spending the last eight weeks working 12 hours a day on Alien Doom.

I thought I was going to get some time away.

I got you covered.

I've arranged for you to spend a couple days in Palm Glen.

Cole, too.

You can soak up a little sun while you're working on Project X.

Good one. I'm counting on you on this.

So don't get distracted on anything else, all right?

Perfect.

Great. I hope my boyfriend likes these.

He will. Trust me.

You're doing awesome.

You know what? Why don't you take the top off for me?

We'll do it to you that way.

Hurry.

I'll be over here.

Sorry about that.

Make them hot.

I don't know about you, but I'm getting a little...

I think

we

got it. Cool.

When can I see him?

Monday. You can go ahead and get dressed.

Thanks.

I don't know. Spencer's got me into a new huge project and he wants something

next week. No.

I thought we were going away.

We are.

Just for the weekend. They're going to send us to Palm Glen.

Palm Glen?

Not too shabby.

I saw the way you were touching her.

Bye, Sarah.

Bye.

You liked that, didn't you?

To watch me play with her.

I believe I would.

And run my fingers over her nipples.

That'd be nice, too.

And suck them.

Sure.

And what would you be doing while all this was going on, huh?

That all depends, dear.

What would you let me do?

Anything you'd like.

yesterday. What?

You know, me and another woman.

Yeah, who wouldn't? I mean, two girls, what could be better than that? Do you

think you could handle two women?

Yeah, I think I could manage to handle them if you let me join in.

Don't be so sure.

You know, my boyfriend in college once, he tried to set something up, but he

chickened out at the last minute.

Chickened out.

Some guys are all talk.

Yeah, well, I suppose the, uh...

Fantasy is a little better than the reality anyway. It's a lot less

Honey, what started doing Palm Glen?

Pretty much just relax.

It's a corporate resort. It's called the Paradise Sands.

Now it just caters to the industry, the computer industry.

Cole's going to be there too.

Great. So we can watch them picking up women all weekend.

Uh -uh. I know. So you're way too busy for that.

Thank you, my man.

It's not even fun.

Hey, cold work weekend.

No. It's a little bit of fun.

It's a little bit of fun.

This is nice.

He did all right for a change.

Where did he find this place?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Welcome to Paradise Sands.

Do you have a reservation?

Uh, yeah, we do.

Uh,

Allegro Game Systems. Should be under Goodwin.

Okay.

Goodwin, party of two. Mm -hmm.

And Russell's, party of one. Well, now, that depends.

Depends?

Yeah, um, you're due tonight.

Look, I have to stand here and listen to lines like that five days a week.

So why don't you give me a break?

Let me check the expiration date on that milk you're drinking.

Room 202, right next to the laundry room.

Sorry about that.

No problem.

Room 212, enjoy your stay.

Thank you. You're welcome.

Honey, I'm going to go in the gift shop and get some sunscreen, okay? Okay.

See you.

Dude. It's Paris, they link.

It's a 12 -mile hike up to this waterfall where they have coyotes and

rattlesnakes and shit along the way. Nice.

Act yourself out. Work with me, buddy.

Come on.

Here I came myself.

Okay, that's fine.

This place packs in the beans, you know. I'll look it back up with the next

book.

But, uh, okay.

Want to make it a little more interesting?

You bring out the girl for me. Me? Yeah.

And I'll have her in my room at midnight tonight.

Guaranteed.

Oh, come on.

What? Come on.

Not today, buddy. You need the chance.

How's it going?

Terrible.

How am I supposed to come up with the most exciting video game ever created in

two days?

Maybe you're trying too hard.

Maybe you should just ask yourself what's the most dangerous thing that

and go from there.

Look at that.

I saw her on the plane. I think she might be by herself.

So?

Maybe we can invite her over.

For what?

Ethan. I mean, we are on vacation, so you'll never know who we are.

Could be the perfect opportunity.

Fine.

If you go over there and ask her for a threesome.

I'm okay with that.

Eh.

You should probably wait for somebody anyway.

What?

Funny. You're all talk.

Yeah, fuck.

I'm going to go right now.

What? You don't think I'm going to do it for you? No. You don't think so? No.

All right.

Look right there.

What?

Mm -hmm.

Mm -hmm.

Mm -hmm.

So we're just going to walk all the way over there.

Cole!

Ethan, Sarah.

You remember Candace from the friend desk, don't you? Yeah.

Hi. Hi.

Oh, and by the way, Ethan, I want to thank you for that tip earlier.

It's going to pay off real nicely.

Boy.

Thanks for dinner.

My pleasure.

I do have to kind of admit I'm a little nervous.

Why?

Well, I've been thinking about kissing you ever since dessert, but I don't

really know how you're going to react.

What do you mean?

Well, I figure that you're either going to kiss me back or you're going to slap

me.

Well, it depends on the...

Yeah.

Just can't get enough, can you?

What? These fries are awesome.

Women, Cole. I mean women. How many women is it going to take to make you

buddy? I don't know. I haven't really figured that part out yet.

Do you prefer having sex with people you hardly know?

I don't know. It keeps me on my toes.

Besides... I don't really get the whole monogamy thing, you know?

Being with the same partner every single night.

Don't you think that it gets just a little bit predictable?

First of all, Cole, it's not every single night, is it?

I'm sure Ethan and I will find a way to keep it exciting.

Hello, folk.

Hey, I get off work at four if you want to have dinner or something.

Actually, I think we might be busy, but I'll call you.

Okay. Okay,

on that note, I'm going to go back to the room.

You guys have fun.

Tell me, bro, how the hell did you end up nailing that girl? She hated you.

First off, I apologized.

And then I asked if I could make it up with dinner.

From there, I took her for a walk under the stars and got her all dreamy.

That's it, huh?

Yeah, pretty much.

You know, women like to have sex just as much as we do, Ethan.

The only difference is that they've got this voice inside their head that says,

don't be easy.

So you got to see Cass tonight or what?

Hell no.

Enjoy them and move on. Besides, I think I'm going to go to Vegas this

afternoon. Really?

Yeah, I can't really operate with her breathing down my neck.

Actually, you know, I've got to get going now.

I'll see you back at the office.

Enjoy the rest of your very quiet vacation.

Hi. Hello.

Nice suit.

Oh, thank you.

Something about the water makes you feel so sensual. Don't you think?

Yes.

It's nice to meet a girl who knows how to enjoy herself.

I'm an expert at it.

Who would you like to make someone very, very happy?

You?

Actually, me and my girlfriend.

We know that you make video games.

What do you do, Sarah?

Photographer. Portraits mostly.

Really? Have you ever done any modeling?

Why?

You really have great features.

Oh, well, thank you.

So, what is a girl like you doing in a place like this all alone, anyway?

Well, I came here once with an old boyfriend, and I always promised myself

I'd come back again, even if it was alone.

But I have to leave tomorrow.

Has either of you ever done anything like this before?

Not exactly.

Me either.

Then again, I never got an invitation.

Hey, do you mind if I take some pictures of you?

I'd love it.

Hey, what do you say I take a few pictures of both of you?

Okay.

Hey,

what do we say we lose the bikini time?

Okay.

It's so amazing.

And oh, how I've tried to break free.

Every time I'm awake.

My heart is nothing if you're the one that I

need.

So come to me.

One touch

and

I call out your name In the middle of a dream

One touch and then

My heart right in my feet

The

ones that you just would have needed To push

away my pain To satisfy my

endless hunger And touch me once again

So come to me in the nighttime

And give me your love once again And

try to help me believe, oh baby

That we are more than just friends

One touch and there'll be nothing.

One touch and there'll be nothing.

One touch and there'll be nothing.

There can be no one without me.

One touch and I'll cry out to me.

And I'll live a dream.

On one touch, it sent me a shiver in my heart, right to my

feet.

Thank you.

Before I'm begging for more.

I'd love to see some of those pictures sometime.

Actually, there wasn't any film in the camera.

Oh, well, that's too bad.

Well, maybe I'll see your work in a magazine.

What's your last name?

Bishop. Sarah Bishop. She's in California Digest all the time.

Okay, well, thanks for a great evening.

So long.

Hi.

Why'd you tell him my name?

I thought we were going to keep this anonymous.

She won't remember.

She'll be gone tomorrow morning.

Let's spend the rest of the weekend alone together.

What were you thinking about last night?

Well, you must admit, it did go quite well.

I mean, you might have opened up a whole new avenue of exploration, Sarah.

Well, we opened up something.

You know, I think we should close it, though.

Quit while we're ahead.

Come on, Sarah, where's your sense of adventure?

We're all adults. What's the worst that could happen?

Mind if I join you?

Sophie.

I thought you left this morning.

I decided to stay an extra day.

So, do you think it's weird?

You know, because of last night?

No. We're all adults here.

How about some margarita?

Nope.

Cheers? Sure.

Hello, hello, hello.

Hi, honey.

Oh, my gosh.

This is my husband, Ray.

I thought you had meetings all week.

Canceled.

Well, Ray, this is Sarah and Ethan.

Sarah, Ethan. How you doing?

So what do you guys got going on here?

Have a little, uh... Have a margarita.

Yeah? Yeah.

Ethan, you sure you know what you're getting yourself into here?

What do you mean?

Margaritas can be dangerous.

Couple of those, find yourself doing all kinds of crazy things.

Guess what, honey?

Ethan's in computers, too.

They are?

He develops video games.

Who are you with?

I'm with the Lego game system.

A good outfit.

You guys got that new secret system going on, right?

I really can't say.

If you're hiring, I've been looking for a few months.

Yeah, I don't think we are, Ray. I think they just went through a couple of

weeks of recruiting to staff up for the... The what?

The summer. Staff up for the summer.

Well, enough of that shop talk.

Probably boring the girls anyways, right?

Yeah,

we're probably a little tired ourselves. We're going to head up to the room for

a little nap here.

All three of you?

Just kidding with you.

So what do you think, sweetie?

Let them get on with their vacation?

Sure.

Ethan, I'm going to be interviewing for Centrosoft next week.

Out in San Mateo.

Is that anywhere near Allegro?

It's a couple miles from Allegro, yeah.

Maybe I'll see you around.

Yeah, yeah, great.

It was nice meeting you two.

Bye.

Nice guy.

Especially from this angle.

Why the hell didn't she tell us that she was married?

Did you even bother to ask her?

You're right about this mess around with other people stuff.

I think we should quit while we're ahead.

Good idea.

Besides, you are all the woman that I need.

Promise? I promise.

Proteus System is going to dominate the marketplace next season, sending our

stock options through the roof, but only if we have a game to go with it, Ethan.

I was just trying to polish up the presentation before I gave it to you,

all. Hey.

Quit fucking around. All right.

Hey, buddy. What's up, Cole? How was Vegas?

Good and bad. I lost $2 ,800 on the blackjack.

New girl on legal.

Haley.

She's fucking smoking.

I don't see you dating a lawyer, though, Cole.

I didn't say anything about dating.

Figure, file an appeal, make a few motions, and the case closed, you know

mean? Sure.

By the way, how was your vacation?

Were you getting enough sleep?

Are you getting enough sleep? No, actually, believe it or not, we had a

bit of excitement.

But now, we're both quite happy to be back to our nice, peaceful, quiet lives.

Welcome home, buddy.

Sarah? Oh, hi, honey.

Hi, Ethan.

Ray and Sophie just got here. When they called me over at the studio, they said

all the hotels were booked up because of a convention.

So they asked if they could stay a few nights.

I don't mind, do you?

Hope you're hungry, buddy.

Found some steaks.

You're going to love them.

So, obviously, programming handles the programming.

CGI handles the actual images.

But as for the concepts, the characters, the goals, and challenges, it's all me.

It amazes me.

I just analyze the systems.

You creatives, be able to get ideas right out of thin air.

It's a wonderful gift, Ethan.

Pay must not be bad either, huh?

Get you a place like this.

Well, it took a lot of scrimping. I mean, you can do the same thing also if

guys, you know, willing to sacrifice.

I couldn't save a dime myself.

You know, money just comes and goes.

Especially if my Sophie gets a hold of it.

Oh.

Honey, why don't you give me a hand with the dishes?

What? Wait.

Sarah.

He's a man of the house.

Can't have him doing dishes, though.

Sophie would love to do it.

Not a big deal. I can help her out.

I don't mind, really.

Besides,

us manly men get to smoke our cigars, right?

You can borrow off the equity, right?

Get yourself something nice. A boat, something like that?

Yeah, we probably could, but we're going to put it back into the house.

You see, we refinanced the whole deal.

Obviously, the monthly is going to be a little bit higher, but the mortgage can

get paid off a lot quicker.

I gotta focus like you, you know?

I gotta get out there and make some real cash.

I'm afraid if I don't, Sophie, she's gonna go out there and find someone who

make her happier than I can.

She's a good girl, though, huh?

I'm sure she loves you.

Yeah.

She, uh, told me about the threesome y 'all had in Palm Glen.

I know you guys agreed not to tell me, but Sophie never could keep a secret.

We didn't know she was married, Ray.

Don't worry about it.

It's true.

I understand.

She's on vacation.

I would have done the same thing.

It's a misunderstanding. It should have never happened. I apologize.

Don't worry about it, man.

God.

Friends, right?

You do want to pay me back.

Let me have Sarah for the night.

Ray, we're not swingers. It was a one -time deal.

Okay.

Forget I ever mentioned it.

Honey, what are you looking at?

Bray and Sophie are in the pool.

Oh, I want to see.

They're naked.

Definitely want to see.

You got a really nice body, doesn't he?

Thank you.

Morning. Got some eggs cooking.

You're going to love them.

I'm hungry, Ray. Oh, come on. Look at these.

They're going to be great.

Look, I need to talk to you for a minute, okay?

Yeah? Well, hold on a second.

Got to get these just right, buddy.

Just right.

Yeah?

So what's up?

I think that you and Sophie need to find another place to stay.

It's about last night, isn't it?

God. You know, I told her.

I told her to keep it down.

It's not about last night.

Sarah and I just need a little private time.

Sophie's going to be pissed.

I mean, she really likes you two.

She's going to be sad if she knows we've got to leave.

But, you know, that's what you want to do.

It is.

Fine.

We'll be gone in ten minutes.

Look, I didn't say to leave immediately.

Come on. Hey.

I got the message, all right?

Problem.

By the way, we bought help.

Thanks.

The lady bring you a sword?

Well, he called my house and left me a message that he's going to show me

something in his office. I don't know what it is. That'd be good.

Hi, Haley.

I wanted to introduce to you Ethan, this developer.

Hi, Ethan. And you are?

Haley. Hi.

So you're doing anything for lunch?

Well, I don't date in the workplace, if that's what you're getting at.

I'm sorry to hear that.

But if you're just talking about lunch, I could use a bite.

Great. Like cheeseburgers?

I like sushi.

At Sendai.

Sendai. Any chance you'd settle for something just a little less fancy on

first lunch?

Can you explain why I should?

That's who she is.

Ethan, catch you later.

It's a set they built for the new Proteus system commercial.

What is it?

It's a spaceship.

Tagline's going to be, let Proteus take you to new worlds.

We're spending a fortune.

It's going to be smoke, lasers, space girls in bikinis, the works.

Very cool.

Where's it at?

They built the whole thing at our old warehouse on mission.

I want you to see this so you understand how important the role out of Proteus

is to this company and why we need a killer game to go along with it.

Hey, what do you think? I should probably go check that place out, huh?

Yeah, good idea.

You're going to need an access code to get in.

All right.

All right.

So we finally had to get rid of the press any key command because we got

everybody calling in asking where the any key is.

What are you doing here?

Hey, just...

Coming to apply for a job, you know, introducing myself to a few of the guys.

Yeah, I thought you had an interview down at Centrosoft.

Yeah, I fell through.

So... Yeah.

Yeah. Why don't you guys get out of here? I got stuff to do.

Can I have a chair back, please?

Sweet,

you got time?

You want to go grab some lunch? No.

Is there something wrong here?

Ray, this is my private workspace, okay? I'm very busy.

Yeah, I see you working on the Proteus system.

Yeah, how do you know about that?

It's only the worst -kept secret in the business.

You know, since you're soft, pay a fortune to get a look at that system.

I know a guy who sold the beta version of the Penron chip.

200 grand in macro image.

I've got work to do, Ray.

Sure.

He's trying to be friendly here.

I'm home.

Hey.

How'd it go?

Things are okay.

How's it going? Good.

Can I talk to you for a minute?

Sure. Is everything... Yeah, it's fine. Come on.

I want to give you something.

It's not an engagement ring. Don't get too excited.

Oh, my God, Ethan.

It is so beautiful.

I know how much you like sapphires.

Call up and get a good deal on it.

So I just want you to know how much you mean to me, and I'm going to dedicate my

life to making you happy.

I'm going to make you happy, too. I promise.

Oh, my God. Can we call this a pre -engagement ring?

Sure. Call it what you'd like.

All right. Now, I have to get you something in return.

How about dinner for starters?

For starters?

Come on.

Hey, how you doing?

How you doing?

It's quitting time.

Close your eyes.

Close your eyes.

Come here. Come here with me. Keep them closed.

What are you doing? Sit down, sit down, sit down.

What are you doing?

Hello? What's up, Brady?

What?

What is this?

Two Ethan's final days of bachelorhood.

I'm not even engaged yet.

Dude,

you got her a ring. It's just a matter of time now. Besides, we kind of needed

reason to party.

Spencer's out of the office, so what the fuck, right?

Sure. Oh, oh, we took the liberty.

I'm getting you a few gifts.

Got a pipe? A pipe.

Slippers? Slippers.

Got... My yearly mag.

A few DVDs. And such.

Uh -huh.

Yeah, those are good.

Yeah, these are great. Let's see.

Chesty cheerleaders.

Freaky facials. Classic.

And what's this?

Shaved and ready.

You need something down the line for when the old wifey gets just a little

too familiar.

I'm touched, Cole.

I'm going to donate these to Terry. Here you go, buddy.

Thanks, man.

Hey, no problem.

Okay. There's a DVD player in Spencer's office.

Want to check these out?

Okay.

Hey, guys.

Girls coming?

Uh, we'll pass. We have work to do. Okay.

See you, ladies.

Well, now that it's just you and I, Cole, why don't you tell me about Haley?

What happened?

Ah, M .G.

About three dates.

No sign of action, so I just gave up.

Three dates?

Oh, well, maybe she's worth a little extra effort?

She's the type of girl who's got a major stick -up rash, you know.

Thinks that she's too good for any guy.

Yeah.

Hello.

Package for Mr.

Goodwin.

That would be he.

Who are you?

I'm here to dance.

Dance? Yeah. A stripper? Yeah.

Call. Come on, bro. Seriously. Sarah's going to have a fit.

Don't look at me. Yeah. I didn't call her. Although I should have.

Who are you?

Someone named Sarah. She said you would enjoy this. Sarah, seriously.

That Sarah, wow, she's one rare breed.

Is there someplace where we can have a little privacy?

No. Yes.

No. Yes.

Yes. No. Conference room. No. Take him to the conference room. No.

Yes.

Down the hall, first door on your right.

Come on. Yeah. You shouldn't be doing this, Cole. Seriously.

They're a whip, right? You are a hadn.

She said?

She said every woman should experience you.

Really? Yeah.

Help me take this towel off.

Excuse me, baby.

Oh.

We'll be right back.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

We'll see you later.

Hey, Ethan.

What's up? What are you doing here?

A little car trouble?

Yeah, it won't start.

Funny, huh?

Life throws you these little curves right when you least expect it, huh?

Well, sometimes you get that feeling something's wrong in your life.

Just don't know quite what it is.

It's the kind of problem I've been having lately.

I think I figured out what it is.

Yeah.

The problem's you, Ethan.

The problem's me.

You upset the balance of things.

You took without giving.

The way I see it, you owe me.

I owe you? What are you talking about? My wife.

You had my wife, Ethan.

Least you could do is let me have Sarah for a night.

Not even up for discussion.

There is something you can do for me.

So this isn't such a one -sided relationship here.

Say something like the Proteus system.

What?

Give me an advanced copy of the Proteus system.

I can do good business. You are out of your mind.

Out of my mind.

That hurts, Ethan.

That hurts.

So you, uh... Can you give me a copy of the system?

Deaf? No.

No.

Ethan, friends are supposed to share.

The stripper.

It's a gift.

From me to you.

I had Sophie make the call.

Say she was Sarah.

That way you could sit back, relax, enjoy yourself.

It's your fucking grace, son.

There you go, man, with that crazy talk again.

I don't like that talk, Ethan.

The guy once told me I was crazy.

Broke his arm and three of his ribs.

You're lucky.

Look, I can tell you, my friend.

Give me a copy of the Proteus system.

Or maybe I'll go talk to Sarah.

Let her know about Roxy.

Tell you what.

I'm staying at the Marina Motel, room 102.

Come see me when you're ready to talk.

And this?

That'll help you start your car.

By the way, got a little lipstick under your hair.

See you later, Ethan.

Have a nice night.

You look like you fell a goat.

Can you sit down here? I want to talk to you for a minute.

Sarah, first I want to tell you that I really love you. I'd die if anything

happened to you. Oh, Ethan, nothing's going to happen to me.

I want you to promise me something.

I want you to promise that you'll never sleep with anyone else ever.

What? Wait a minute.

What is this all about?

Did you sleep with Sophie again?

Of course not.

It's weird.

Yeah.

I just want to make sure no one ever comes between us.

So promise me you'll never sleep with anyone else.

Including Ray.

Ethan, I have no intention of sleeping with Ray.

I promise I will never sleep with anyone else, including Ray.

Cole, you ever got yourself into a situation you didn't think you could get

of?

Hmm? Yeah.

So what happened to you?

I thought you and I were working towards something, and you drop off the radar.

I, um... You, um, what?

Are you afraid to tell me you're not interested?

No, no, no, not that at all.

What is it, then?

I just don't think that I'm the type of guy that you're looking for, really.

Why don't you let me judge that?

Come on.

Spencer's up.

You've been telling people I have a stick up my ass.

That was just a joke.

Oh, I see.

Look.

Spencer's going to have a fit if he finds it in here.

What's wrong?

Are you afraid of lawyers?

Afraid of boots?

Afraid to actually feel something?

Are you messing with me or what?

Try me.

Who can see us in here?

Spencer designed this so that he could see out.

Thank you, Steve.

Thank you.

It's not good enough, good enough for me

Teach at the gym after work.

Okay, this weekend.

We'll see.

We'll see.

What does that mean?

The new game

manufacturer's journal.

Give you just an idea of what we're up against.

Programming is waiting.

Marketing is waiting.

I need to know what you got, Goodwin.

How about a submarine race? You got torpedoes, you got sea monsters. You

that out of the box?

And besides, Bauer's already working on something like that.

Okay, how about marine grunts versus dinosaurs?

Oh, come on, Goodwin. Tell me that's not all you have.

Just give me a few more days, will you, Spencer? You got one.

And either you deliver...

Where you start putting your resume together.

Do I make myself clear?

You are not going to make me look bad on this. Got it?

Yeah.

Yeah.

The answer is no. The answer is always going to be no.

So take your fucked up ass to someone else. Ethan, I don't think you want to.

So, what's this big secret?

Look, when Sarah and I were in Palm Glen, we met a girl down by the pool.

And we had a threesome with her. Dude!

Score!

Not really.

Turns out that the girl's actually married. She has a husband.

Yikes.

And her husband wants to sleep with Sarah.

Sarah up for that?

Is she up for... No.

Of course not.

Well, tell that guy no deal.

I did.

But now he's threatening me.

So call the cops.

I did.

And they said they can't do anything because there hasn't been a crime

committed. And now the guy's coming over. He's calling.

The guy's crazy. He might even be dangerous.

I don't know what to do, Cole.

Call Ned.

Call Ned?

In shipping.

Ask Ned.

To go down and tell this guy to fuck off.

You think that'll work?

You scared the shit out of me.

Let me get this straight.

You want me to tell this guy to leave you alone?

That's all. That's all I want.

Why?

Is he bothering you? It's kind of a long story. I just want him to go away.

That's it. I'll pay you.

I'll give you $100 right now.

Five.

$500?

You give me $500, I'll scare this guy so bad, he'll leave the state.

Guaranteed.

Guaranteed.

All right, I gotta go to the ATM at lunch.

You do that.

Where's Ray?

Well, he won't be back till later.

Can I help you?

Ethan has a message for Ray.

Oh, I get it. You're part of the game.

The game?

All right, if you want to play like that.

I don't think that we should be left out.

Do you?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Ah!

I'm sorry, Ned. I didn't... Did you fuck that guy's wife? What?

That's what she said.

No, no.

I don't blame you for that.

But you should have given me the whole fucking story before you asked me to do

this shit.

You asshole.

Hey, I'm sorry.

Look at me, Ethan.

Look at me.

You're a fucking jerk, you know that?

I don't do to you what that son of a bitch did to me.

Don't come around here no more.

You ought to keep your face the way it is.

He also said he would stop by tomorrow.

Yeah, look, Nat, if he calls again, put him through, will you?

He's on four right now.

Thanks.

Hey, Ray.

Ethan? Yeah, look, Sarah doesn't want to sleep with you, okay? So just get that

through your thick skull. You think I care about Sarah?

Look at my chicks fucking around with other people's wives like you.

I want the proteus system, Ethan.

If I don't get it, I'm going to be in a world of hurt.

You have no idea.

You can find out anything, right?

Sure, man.

I need to background check on somebody.

Okay.

What's your name?

Ray Griffin.

Ray Griffin?

Yeah, I need to know if he's got any record or if there's any warrant he

be arrested for.

Okay.

Yeah, I really can't work with you watching, man.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

That's okay. Hey, I'll bring it to you when I have something, all right?

Okay? Yeah, thanks. No problem.

Sarah, you all right?

Yes, Mike.

What was Ray doing here?

He was delivering a message.

What message?

What was he doing here?

Did you sleep with a girl at the office, Ethan?

I don't think so.

Is that true?

She wasn't a girl at the office, Sarah. She was a stripper. And we didn't have

sex. We didn't really have sex.

You didn't really have sex.

When were you planning to tell me that?

I thought she was a gift from you.

From me?

Yeah. Have you lost touch with reality, Ethan?

Ray hired this stripper. He made me think it was your idea.

Oh, that's good.

Where are you going?

I'm going to go stay at Debbie's for a while.

Why?

Because I just, I need to think, Ethan, and I can't do this here with you. I

can't do this. Sarah, Ray is out there somewhere and he's crazy. He wants me to

steal the Proteus system from him. He might try to use you to pressure me into

it. That's so imaginative, even for you.

It's true, Sarah.

But I want you to stay here so I can watch out for you.

It's always about what you want, isn't it?

Let me go.

Okay.

Make sure you give me a number where you're staying at, though.

I have my cell.

Don't call me.

Hi. Sophie, what are you... How are you?

Good.

So this is where it all happens, huh?

This is it?

You know, I've been thinking a lot about this night in Portland.

I think it would be... It would have been a lot nicer if we could have just

relaxed and enjoyed ourselves.

We could have put it on our show for someone.

What's wrong?

You know, Ethan's been acting really strange lately.

He's telling me Ray asked him to steal something from work.

That sounds like Ray.

Every time he makes a new friend, he cooks up this little prank to try and

him.

I keep telling him to knock it off, but he thinks he's being funny.

That's what I thought it was.

So what brings you here?

Well, I was hoping that you would take some more pictures of me.

Sure.

Oh, my clothes are back at the motel. Maybe we could do it there.

Why don't we shoot some without your clothes?

But if I get naked in front of you, I'm going to be tempted to go further.

And if that happens?

It happens.

Ethan wouldn't mind.

Oh, what's Ethan got to do with it?

I mean, I don't need his permission to enjoy myself.

He doesn't ask for mine.

Let's forget about those pictures.

Let's forget about them.

Something can't be broken, other than love.

I'm sad that we can't die.

Never want anyone.

Hey, doesn't matter. Time has brought the fact that you've

mistaken. Hey, doesn't matter.

Do that, do that.

We'll go for a ride.

No. I just want to be alone for a while.

Well, I'm sorry, but I don't think that's possible.

Hi, honey.

Hi, sweetheart.

I said fetch her, not fuck her.

Hey, Houston.

This guy Ray is a friend of yours?

Good, because he's a crazy fuckerman.

What do you mean?

Well, it is some time for cutting up a guy in a bar fight.

Check this out.

The court ordered a psych evaluation after he threatened an old boss.

I got the whole report off the courthouse computer.

It says here that he was arrested in high school for holding up a gas

And almost got away there.

He hid himself in a tree and that's why he's screaming to the cops to come save

him.

Fear of heights or something, I don't know.

Here we go, specimen.

Oh, by the way, his real name is Francis Heber.

Francis Heber.

You're crazy, Ray.

Crazy?

I'm going to use it against you, buddy.

I'm going to use it against you.

sir who is this hey buddy she's about to give you a call

ray bingo where's sarah she's here

picked her up from the studio tonight son of a bitch if you like you're gonna

get your little princess home just as soon as you give me that proteus system

don't have it

If you touch her, Ray, I swear I will kill you.

Oh, Ethan, I'll be sure to make a note of that, okay?

Now, meet me underneath the 4th Street Bridge.

15 minutes.

I get the system.

You get Sarah.

No.

There's a warehouse at 1135 Mission.

Meet me there.

This isn't a fucking game, Ethan.

That's where the system is.

This is some kind of trick.

You think I'd risk Sarah for a game system, Ray?

Fine.

But if you try anything, you won't get her back.

Ever.

And Ethan, don't try to call anybody else.

Don't worry.

Soon as you give me the system, she's all yours.

Sir, are you all right?

She's not going to be if you don't give me the system!

Give me the fucking system!

Leave her there and come over here.

I'll give it to you.

You think I'm an idiot?

Huh?

Give it to me now!

Stay there.

Don't fucking move.

You got a joke?

Get out of there, Francis.

No, no, no, no!

Ethan!

They're right here, okay? Don't come out. I'm going to get back.

Ethan!

You're starting to piss me off here.

Damn it.

Throw it down.

What do you want to break it?

Fucking down. You shot me in the leg.

Ray, we're pretty high up here. You better be careful.

Shut up.

Don't say another fucking word.

We're a long way down.

Don't fall.

Now, Sarah!

Help me, God damn it!

Help me!

God damn it, help me!

I'm gonna fucking kill both of you!

Help!

So it's called Nemesis. As you play the game, it actually learns your

weaknesses. It discovers where your reflexes are the slowest, things you

avoid, things that you're attracted to, and then it uses the information against

you. So you see, Cole, as you play the game, it's actually playing you. That is

wickedly brilliant.

You guys in programming are going to hate it, but the marketing people, they

love it.

And Spencer cut me the biggest bonus in company history.

Nice. Hey, honey, how are you? Good.

Hi,

Cole.

So where are you going to spend the money?

Honeymoon. My man.

Good for you guys.

Where are you going to go?

Well, Ethan found this resort in the South Pacific where we can rent an

by ourselves for a whole week.

Just the two of you? What's that going to be like?

Have it.

You got me going round and round.

Losing myself to you again.

But I don't really care.

Lost within your heavenly hell.

Lead me down your wicked way. You know you got me blind.
