PREVIOUSLY
ON "SIX DEGREES"...

I'M BACK. I'VE GOT EVERYTHING
I'VE EVER WANTED... EXCEPT YOU.

I'M SELLING THE FIRM.
RALSTON'S FOR SALE.
YOU'RE GONNA BUY IT FOR ME.

DO I KNOW YOU?
NO, YOU--YOU DON'T,

BUT I KNEW YOUR HUSBAND.

DAVID INTRODUCED ME TO A FEW
PEOPLE WHO HELPED ME

GET THE PLOTS I NEEDED.
THEN HOW ABOUT A JOB?

YOU TEACH ME, AND I'LL MAKE YOU
SOME MONEY, I SWEAR.
I WANNA HIRE YOU.

WHAT EXACTLY AM
I GONNA BE DOING?
I DON'T KNOW YET.

IT'S HARD, MAN. EVERYONE
AROUND ME IS MOVING ON OR UP,

AND I'M--I'M STILL EATING
RAMEN FOR DINNER.

COME ON. IT--IT'S
JUST ONE INTERVIEW.

IS THERE ANY CHANCE
THAT MOM'S STILL ALIVE?

EVERYTHING I COULD FIND
ABOUT MARGARET HANSSEN.
SHE MIGHT BE ALIVE.

I THINK WE HAVE
A FRIEND IN COMMON.
YOU KNOW WHITNEY?

WE WORK TOGETHER.
GUESS WHO I RAN INTO.

YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER FRIEND,
STEVEN CASEMAN.

Is he single?
ARE YOU SERIOUS, LAURA?

ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR!

♪♪♪

OH!

♪ GET UP, GET ON UP ♪
OH, DAMN.

WHAT?

Sounds like
somebody's waking up

on the wrong side
of the bed.
RAY. HEY.

You weren't sleeping now,
were you?

NO, NO. COME ON, MAN.

I'M--I'M ALWAYS UP
AT 5:32 IN THE MORNING.

RAY, YOU OKAY?

COME ON, DAMIAN.

TOKYO STOCK EXCHANGE
HAS BEEN OPEN FOR HOURS.

MM-HMM.
Silver's down
a buck and a half.

SO I'M--I'M GUESSING
THAT'S BAD.
BAD
I SOLD SHORT. I'M UP 500 GRAND.

YOU NEED ME
TO DO SOMETHING, RAY?

YOU'RE MY EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT
IN CHARGE OF SPECIAL PROJECTS.

Right? All right, well, I got
something special for you to do.

I NEED YOU TO GET ME
INTO WOLLMAN ICE RINK.

OH. WELL, HEY, YOU KNOW,
IT'S--IT'S A PUBLIC RINK.

YOU WANT TO GO SKATING,
IT'S LIKE 20 BUCKS AN HOUR.
I don't want to go skating.

I WANT THE RINK, AND I WANT IT
CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC.

WHAT I-I DON'T KNOW
IF THEY DO ALL OF THAT.
10:00 A.M.

TODAY?
TODAY IS THE ONLY DAY
THERE IS, DAMIAN.

OH, ALSO,
I NEED A, UH,

a liter of Aquavit--
the good stuff
WHOA.

and 3 pounds
of surstromming.
PASTRAMI?

SURSTROMMING.

IT'S, UH,
FERMENTED HERRING.

It's a Swedish delicacy.

WHERE THE HELL
DO I GET--

HEY.

ALL RIGHT, LIZZY, I GOT AN HOUR
BEFORE I GOTTA BE DOWNTOWN.

BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF ME.

GOOD MORNING, LAURA.
RAY JONES,
THIS IS MY BOSS, J.T. ZEFF.

THANK YOU FOR AGREEING TO MEET.
I'M A BIG FAN OF YOURS.

STAYED IN A HOTEL
YOU DESIGNED IN PARIS

ON THE PLACE des VOSGES--
STUNNING.

FLATTERY
WILL GET YOU EVERYWHERE.
I HOPE SO,

'CAUSE I GOT 60,000 SQUARE FEET
OF OFFICE SPACE IN MIDTOWN,

AND YOU'RE
THE ONLY DESIGNER I WANT.

YOU REALIZE THAT I'M BOOKED
ALMOST A YEAR IN ADVANCE.

WHICH IS WHY I CAME ALL THE WAY
DOWN HERE TO BEG YOU...

TO FIT ME IN.

I SUPPOSE IT WOULDN'T
HURT TO, UH, LOOK AT THE SPACE.

GREAT. JUST LET ME KNOW WHEN,
AND I'LL SEND A CAR.

HE'S DELICIOUS.

ARE YOU AND HE...

OH. OH, NO, NO.
WE'RE NOT.

OH. OH, MY.

LOOK AT THIS BEAUTY.

OH, IT'S LOVELY.

SHE, DEAR.
IT'S A FEMALE.

OH.

ORCHIDS HAVE SEX,
JUST LIKE PEOPLE.

J.T., ARE YOU--

AM I WHAT?

ARE YOU HITTING ON ME?

CERTAINLY NOT.

OH. WELL, GOOD.

WOULD IT BE SO TERRIBLE
IF I WERE?
SEE, THAT'S WRONG.

BECAUSE I'M A WOMAN?
NO, BECAUSE YOU'RE MY BOSS.

WELL, IF THAT'S
THE WAY YOU FEEL...

TELL ME,
HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN?

THAT IS NONE
OF YOUR BUSINESS.

I'M JUST SAYING,

I SUGGEST THAT YOU HAVE SEX
WITH SOMEONE... SOON.

J.T.

LOOK, IT'S LIKE THIS ORCHID,
DEAR.

IF YOU DON'T GET
PROPER CARE,

YOU'RE GONNA SHRIVEL UP
AND DIE.

JUST BECAUSE YOU GOT
REJECTED BY ONE FIRM

DOESN'T MEAN THERE'S NOT
ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY OUT THERE.
I DON'T KNOW.

MAYBE I'M NOT CUT OUT
TO WORK AT AN IVY LEAGUE FIRM.

WHAT I DO NOW,
IT HELPS PEOPLE...

AND YOU'VE
PAID YOUR DUES,

SO WHY NOT HELP YOURSELF
TO A 6

ARE YOU WORRIED
ABOUT MY CAREER

OR WHETHER OR NOT I CAN AFFORD
TO TAKE YOU TO CRAFT?

I JUST THINK
YOU DESERVE MORE.

♪♪♪

YOU... WANT MORE,
RIGHT, CARLOS?

♪♪♪

UNH-UNH.

WHAT IF IT'S OPPORTUNITY
CALLING?

FINE. GO AHEAD.

HELLO?

YOU KNOW WHO'S IN CHARGE
OF THE WOLLMAN ICE RINK?
Is that a trick question?

NO, SERIOUSLY, MAN.
MY JOB'S ON THE LINE HERE.
PARKS COMMISSION.

YOU KNOW ANYBODY
WHO WORKS THERE?
Yeah, me and the, uh,

COMMISSIONER PLAY GOLF
TOGETHER EVERY SATURDAY.

AW, COME ON, MAN, SERIOUSLY.
OH, I GUESS YOU CAN'T TELL ME

HOW TO GET 3 POUNDS
OF SURSTROMMING EITHER.
LINDQVIST'S ON 3rd.

ARE YOU PULLING MY CHAIN, MAN?
NO, MAN, I'M SERIOUS.
I USED TO DATE A SWEDISH GIRL.

HER NAME WAS, UH, WAS PIA.
SHE WAS--SHE WAS VERY LIMBER.

UH, THANKS, MAN.
YEAH.

THIS IS OPPORTUNITY LEAVING.

OW!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

♪♪♪

THIS FUND IS TAKING OFF.

I'M REALLY HOPING I CAN
CONVINCE YOU TO PARTICIPATE.

MMM. HOW MUCH
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

20 WOULD BE ENOUGH TO TAKE
SOME STRONG MINORITY POSITIONS,

AND IF YOU WANT TO BE
IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT, THEN--
WHAT ABOUT $40 MILLION?

HMM?

I'D LIKE YOU
TO MEET SOMEONE. DAMIAN.

DAMIAN HENRY, MY ASSISTANT
IN CHARGE OF SPECIAL PROJECTS,

ARNE BENGSTON.

DAMIAN PUT THIS MEETING
TOGETHER.

HE'S A RISING STAR.

VERY PLEASED
TO MEET YOU, DAMIAN.

NOW IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME,
I'M GOING TO GO JOIN MY BOYS.

WHO IS THAT GUY?

SWEDISH OLYMPIC
HOCKEY TEAM.

MADE A FORTUNE IN SHIPPING
AND MORE IMPORTANTLY,

JUST KICKED IN $40 MILLION
TO OUR FUND.

NO KIDDING.

BEEN AFTER THE GUY FOR MONTHS.

HE WAS GONNA
CANCEL ON ME AGAIN

BECAUSE HE PROMISED
TO SPEND THE DAY WITH HIS KIDS,

BUT YOU MADE IT HAPPEN.
I CAN'T TAKE ALL THE CREDIT.
I MEAN, I DID HAVE

TO DO SOME TAP DANCING TO GET
TO THE PARKS COMMISSIONER,

BUT ONCE I SAID YOUR NAME?
YOUR NAME IS LIKE GOLD.

TREAT BUSINESS LIKE FRIENDSHIP
AND VICE VERSA,

YOU'LL ALWAYS
BE SUCCESSFUL.

I'LL REMEMBER THAT.

YOU'RE KIDDING ME, LAURA.

J.T. ACTUALLY
SAID THAT TO YOU?

Her exact words,
"shrivel up and die."

WAS SHE TALKING ABOUT YOU
OR YOUR... ORCHID?

WHITNEY!
Sorry.

I CAN'T WORK
IN THIS ENVIRONMENT.

IT'S SEXUAL HARASSMENT.

THEN QUIT.
I can't.
I need this job.

OH, BESIDES,
WHAT IF SHE'S RIGHT?

WHAT, THAT YOU NEED
TO HAVE SEX?
It's not just the sex.

IT'S MORE
JUST THE COMPANIONSHIP.

You know,
just having someone

TO HOLD ON TO
AT THE END OF THE DAY.

YOU'LL MEET SOMEONE, LAURA.
Yeah?

SOMEBODY WILLING TO DEAL
WITH A WIDOW AND AN 8 YEAR OLD?

YES, YOU WILL,
BUT THIS IS A CONVERSATION

WE SHOULD HAVE OVER WINE.
CAN I CALL YOU LATER?
Okay.

OKAY. BYE. NICE CACTUS.

IT'S JUST A LITTLE TOKEN

TO COMMEMORATE YOUR FIRST DAY
AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF.

WELL, THANKS. IT'S NOT LIKE YOU
TO COME BEARING GIFTS.

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING.
IT'S SO... PRICKLY.

BUT THAT'S ONLY ON THE OUTSIDE.
TO REMIND ME OF YOU?

AH...

IT'S SWEET.
I'LL TREASURE IT ALWAYS.

I'M SURE YOU WILL.
I'M NOT INTERRUPTING THERE,
AM I?

FOR YOUR FIRST DAY AS BOSS.
WOW. THEY'RE GORGEOUS.

COMPARED TO YOU,
THEY PALE.

WELL, I, UH...
I BETTER...

SEE YOU LATER.

STEVEN, THANKS.

FOR THE LITTLE
PRICKLY CACTUS?

FOR COMING BY.
OH.

SURE. HAVE A GOOD DAY.

MINE'S BIGGER.

THAT'S VERY MATURE, RAY.

LOOK, WHIT, I KNOW YOU GUYS
ARE FRIENDS AND ALL,

AND YOU LIKE WORKING WITH HIM,
BUT BE CAREFUL.

THE GUY'S A DISASTER.
HE'S A WORLD-CLASS
PHOTOGRAPHER,

AND I PLAN TO USE HIM ON JOBS
AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE.
WASTE OF MY MONEY.

SILENT PARTNER, REMEMBER?
RIGHT, RIGHT.
OH, BY THE WAY,

I NEED YOU TO MEET THE DESIGNERS
AT THE NEW OFFICES WITH ME.

WHAT NEW OFFICES?
I'M PUTTING ALL MY HOLDINGS
UNDER ONE ROOF.

I'M NOT MOVING OFFICES,
RAY.
LOOK, WE'RE GONNA HAVE
TO DISCUSS

THIS WHOLE
SILENT PARTNER THING.

MAYBE I COULD BE MORE LIKE
A WHISPERING PARTNER,

A SPEAKING VERY SOFTLY PARTNER,
YOU KNOW?
MAGGIE NEWTON'S
ON HER WAY.

THANK YOU.
WHO'S MAGGIE NEWTON?

NEW CLIENT.
WROTE A SENSATIONAL MEMOIR.

PLANNING A BIG BOOK TOUR.
SOUNDS REALLY INTERESTING.
YOU MIND IF I SIT IN?

OKAY.
THE BOOK
IS JUST BRILLIANT.

WE PLAY OUR CARDS RIGHT,

I THINK WE HAVE
AN OUTSIDE CHANCE AT OPRAH,

BUT YOU NEED TO BE READY
FOR WHAT'S COMING.

HOW DO YOU MEAN?

IT'S AN INTENSELY
PERSONAL STORY

AND HEARTBREAKING,

AND THE INTERVIEWERS ARE GONNA
WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT.

YOU THINK YOU CAN HANDLE IT?

HOW YOU HANDLING THINGS?

YOU STAYING OUT OF YOUR HEAD,
SPENDING TIME WITH PEOPLE,

THE SOBER KIND?

YEAH. I STOPPED BY
TO SEE WHITNEY TODAY.

OH, WHO'S HE?

SHE.

OH.

SHE WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO BE
A TALL BRUNETTE, WOULD SHE?

YOU KNOW HER?
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
I'M JUST GUESSING.

SHE PUSHES YOUR BUTTONS,
GIVES YOU A HARD TIME,

YOU KNOW,
MAKES YOU A LITTLE CRAZY?

WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT
RIGHT NOW?

STEVEN CASEMAN DOES NOT JUST
STOP BY TO SEE A WOMAN.
WE'RE FRIENDLY.

STEVEN, HAVE YOU EVER HAD
A WOMAN WHO WAS JUST A FRIEND?

YOU KNOW, THE KIND
WITHOUT THE BENEFITS?

YOU KNOW, BE CAREFUL.
YOU JUST GOT CLEAN.

DON'T GO REPLACING
ONE ADDICTION WITH ANOTHER.

STEVEN, HI.
HEY, MAGGIE.

HEY.
HOW ARE YA?

GOOD.
GOOD TO SEE YA.

HEY, JIMMY.
HEY, MAGGIE.

SO LISTEN, THANKS
FOR RECOMMENDING WHITNEY CRANE.

SHE'S GREAT.
OH, YEAH,
I'M GLAD THAT WORKED OUT.

SHE SAID YOU
BROUGHT HER A CACTUS.

YEAH.

STEVEN CASEMAN
BEARING GIFTS.

WHAT'S THAT ABOUT?

I'LL TALK
TO YOU LATER, STEVEN.

YEAH. LAURA.

OH, HEY.

HEY.

HEY,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I'M, UH...
DOING PENANCE.

OH.

WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?

UM, OH, UH, WIDOW,

UH, SUPPORT GROUP
FOR WIDOWS AND WIDOWERS.

MEETS ONCE A WEEK.
UH, GOOD TIMES, YEAH.

IT'S GOOD TO HAVE
SOMEPLACE TO GO.

YEAH.

ARE YOU WALKING SOUTH?

UH, YES, I AM.

SO ANYWAY, THERE I AM, SITTING,
UH, IN THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE--

A PLACE I HAVE NOT BEEN
SINCE I WAS 11 AND--

A PLACE I HAVE
NEVER BEEN, F.Y.I.

YEAH, WHY DOESN'T THAT
SURPRISE ME?

UH, ANYWAY, THE PRINCIPAL
TELLS ME THAT MAX, MY SON,

HAS BEEN DISTRIBUTING
PHOTOGRAPHS

TO HIS FELLOW CLASSMATES--

PHOTOGRAPHS OF NAKED WOMEN,
PHOTOGRAPHS THAT I TOOK.

OH!

NOT THAT I HAVE ANYTHING
AGAINST NAKED WOMEN.

WHO DOES? WHO...
WHO DOES?

WELL, WHAT
DID MAX GET IN TROUBLE?

NO. PUNISHMENT FOR THAT

WOULD SEEM LIKE A CRIME
AGAINST NATURE, I THINK.

BESIDES, THE PICTURES WERE GOOD.
DID I MENTION THAT?
YES, YOU DID.

YES. WELL, DO
THE TEENAGE YEARS FRIGHTEN YOU?

OH, ONLY HOW CLOSE
THEY ARE.

YEAH, I'M TERRIFIED MAX
IS GONNA TURN OUT LIKE ME.

OH, WELL, WHAT WOULD BE
SO BAD ABOUT THAT?
THIS IS YOUR HOUSE, YES?

OH, YEAH.

SO...

LISTEN, UM... I--

SO I GUESS I'LL, UM...

I... I'LL SEE YOU
AROUND THE 'HOOD?

"I'LL SEE YOU AROUND THE 'HOOD."
WHO SAYS THAT?

NERVOUS WOMEN
WITH CRUSHES ON CUTE GUYS.

I POUNCED ON HIM LIKE...
LIKE A MARMOSET IN HEAT.

OKAY, AT LEAST YOU GOT

THAT AWKWARD FIRST KISS
OUT OF THE WAY.

AWKWARD? "AWKWARD"
DOES NOT DO IT JUSTICE.

OH, MY GOD. WHAT AM I GONNA SAY
TO HIM THE NEXT TIME I SEE HIM?

WELL, IT DEPENDS.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO HAPPEN?

I DON'T KNOW, UH...

I'D LIKE TO GO ON A DATE.

OH, THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
HE PROBABLY THINKS I'M CRAZY.

WHO THINKS YOU'RE CRAZY?

NO ONE. THE ONLY ONE
I'M CRAZY ABOUT IS YOU.

YOU HUNGRY?

YEAH.
OKAY.

WHEN I SAW THIS PLACE,
I WENT NUTS.

WELL, IF I WERE
TO TAKE IT ON,

I'D DO ROMAN ARCHES TO CONTRAST
THE CONTEMPORARY VIEWS.

AFTER ALL, RAY,
YOU ARE A MODERN EMPEROR.

SORRY I'M LATE.

WHITNEY.
HI.

YOU TWO KNOW EACH OTHER?
YEAH, WE'RE FRIENDS.

HOW DO YOU TWO
KNOW EACH OTHER?

RAY'S MY NEW PARTNER.

OH,
YOU'RE THAT RAY.

SHE TALKS ABOUT ME?
WHO WOULDN'T, DARLING?

SO I THOUGHT
THAT MAYBE WE COULD...

I THOUGHT
SHE WAS A LESBIAN.

I THINK
SHE SWINGS ALL WAYS.

WHAT'S FUNNY, DEAR?

WHY DON'T YOU GO MEASURE
THE GREAT BIG WINDOWS

AND WAIT FOR ME
DOWNSTAIRS?

RIGHT. OF COURSE.

YOU SHOULD
HAVE CONSULTED ME.

SHE'S INSANE,
AND SHE TORMENTS LAURA.

I'M THINKING
A TEXTURED FINISH

WITH A MEDITERRANEAN PALETTE.

J.T.
YES, DARLING?

I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU
COMING DOWN HERE...
MM-HMM.

BUT I DON'T THINK
THIS IS GONNA WORK OUT.

I'M JUST SENSING
WE'RE NOT ON THE SAME PAGE.

WELL, I WISH YOU HADN'T
WASTED MY TIME.

COME ALONG, LAURA.

ACTUALLY,
I'D LIKE LAURA TO STAY.

WHATEVER FOR?
I WANT HER
TO DESIGN THE SPACE.

WHAT?

SHE'S MY ASSISTANT.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO LOOK
INTO GETTING A NEW ONE.

WHAT DO YOU SAY, LAURA?

RAY, I'VE--I'VE NEVER DONE
ANYTHING BY MYSELF.

THIS IS A HUGE PROJECT.

I KNOW IT IS,

BUT I'D RATHER HAVE SOMEONE
WITH LESS EXPERIENCE

WHO'S WILLING TO THROW
EVERYTHING THEY HAVE INTO IT

INSTEAD OF ACTING LIKE THEY'RE
DOING ME SOME SORT OF FAVOR.

LET'S GO, LAURA.

IT'S BEEN A REAL EXPERIENCE
WORKING FOR YOU, J.T.

RAY IS A FORCE OF NATURE.

IT TOOK HIM 5 MINUTES
TO CLOSE A DEAL FOR $40 MILLION.

I'M LEARNING SO MUCH
FROM THIS GUY,

MEETING ALL KINDS
OF IMPORTANT PEOPLE.

YOU SAY RAY'S NAME,
DOORS JUST FLY OPEN.

ALL I HAVE TO DO IS CONTINUE
TO WALK THROUGH THEM,

AND EVENTUALLY I'LL HAVE
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES OF MY OWN

AND PEOPLE WORKING FOR ME.

I'M GLAD IT'S GOING GOOD
FOR YOU, DAMIAN. YOU DESERVE IT.

YEAH, THANKS. THANKS A LOT.
HOW ABOUT YOURSELF?

I, UH... I GOT TURNED DOWN
BY REMINICK, BELL & HERGOTT.

HERGOTT? YEAH, YEAH, YEAH,
THAT'S, UH,

THAT'S THE FIRM
THAT REPRESENTS RAY.

THAT'S GREAT. NOW I KNOW
THEY'RE OUT OF MY LEAGUE.

NAH, NAH. YOU KNOW WHAT, MAN?
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA DO?

I'M GONNA TALK TO RAY.
YEAH, WHY NOT, MAN?

I MEAN,
HE'S THEIR BIGGEST CLIENT.

MAYBE HE COULD PUT IN A WORD
FOR YOU OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
NAH, I-I APPRECIATE IT,

BUT I MEAN, IF--IF THEY WANTED
ME, THEY WOULD HAVE HIRED ME.

COME ON, CARLOS.

SERIOUSLY, I'M...
I'M OVER IT.

OH, HEY, HEY, HEY, NO.
NO, COME ON.

GOT THE EXPENSE ACCOUNT.
IT'S ON ME.

ALL RIGHT. THANKS.

YEAH.

UH, I GOT AN ARRAIGNMENT
IN 20 MINUTES, SO...

I'LL SEE YOU AROUND.
OKAY.

ALL RIGHT, MAN.

YEAH, YEAH,
TAKE IT EASY, MAN.

I HAVE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT
IN AN HALF AN HOUR.

TAKE YOUR TIME, RELAX,
COME UP WITH SOME IDEAS,

AND WE'LL TALK
ABOUT IT LATER.

RAY, OKAY. I JUST--
I WANT YOU TO KNOW,

I'M GONNA PUT EVERYTHING
I HAVE INTO THIS.

DAVID DID SO MUCH FOR ME.

I'M HAPPY I COULD
DO SOMETHING FOR YOU.

I HOPE THAT'S NOT
WHY YOU HIRED ME, THOUGH.

JUST AN ADDED BONUS.

OKAY.

ARE YOU FAMILIAR

WITH A PHOTOGRAPHER
NAMED STEVEN CASEMAN?

UM... FAMILIAR?

DO YOU KNOW HIS WORK?

OH, YES. I MEAN,
I KNOW HIM. I...

GREAT. UH...

I WANT YOUR DESIGN TO INCLUDE
SOME OF HIS PHOTOGRAPHS--

AN ORIGINAL SERIES,
50 OR 60 PRINTS.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

WOW.
YOU MUST BE A BIG FAN.

NOT REALLY,
BUT WHITNEY IS,

AND I WANT HER TO FEEL
COMFORTABLE HERE.

MAYBE THE THREE OF US CAN
DISCUSS IT. HOW'S TONIGHT?

UM...
LET--LET ME CALL HIM.

GREAT.

OKAY.

LET ME KNOW.

THANK YOU
FOR MEETING ME.

SURE. YEAH.

IT SOUNDED IMPORTANT
FROM YOUR MESSAGE.

SO THIS IS WEIRD.

LISTEN, IF--I MEAN,
LAST NIGHT, WE DON'T HAVE TO--

OH, NORMALLY, I WOULD FEEL LIKE
I HAD TO EXPLAIN ALL THAT,

BUT THAT'S ACTUALLY
NOT WHY I CALLED.
OKAY.

I MEAN, THE TRUTH IS,
I-I AM... RUSTY

WHEN--WHEN IT COMES

TO THIS MAN AND WOMAN THING,
BUT...

COULD--COULD WE JUST PRETEND
THAT IT NEVER HAPPENED?

WE COULD PRETEND, YES.

GREAT, BECAUSE
I HAVE THIS BIG, NEW JOB,

AND MY CLIENT
REALLY WANTS TO HIRE YOU.

YOU'RE KIDDING ME.

YEAH. RAY JONES.

LAURA, I WOULD HAVE TO SAY
NO, THANK YOU.

OH, BUT YOU HAVEN'T
EVEN HEARD--

RAY JONES AND I HAVE A...

HMM, WHAT DO WE HAVE?
WE HAVE A HISTORY.

STEVEN, HE WANTS YOU
TO DO A WHOLE SERIES--

50 NEW PHOTOGRAPHS--

AND HE IS WILLING
TO PAY... A LOT.

IT'S FOR THESE OFFICES

WHERE HE'S GONNA PUT
WHITNEY'S COMPANY,

AND I'M SURE SHE WOULD BE
SO HAPPY TO KNOW

THAT YOU'RE WORKING ON THIS.
UH, I WOULD LIKE
TO HELP YOU OUT, BUT--

BUT--BUT, YOU WOULDN'T REALLY
BE WORKING WITH RAY, THOUGH.

YOU'D REALLY BE WORKING
JUST WITH ME.

UH, CAN I...

CAN I GET BACK TO YOU

YEAH. GREAT.

THANKS.

LIKE THAT FEELING,

BEING PART OF SOMETHING
LARGER THAN YOURSELF.
YES, EXACTLY.

I'M NOT BIG ON CROWDS. HOW IS
THAT A SERIES OF PHOTOGRAPHS?

I DON'T KNOW, STEVEN.
THAT'S WHAT I HAVE YOU FOR.

YES, WE WILL TAKE
THE WHITE PIZZA

WITH QUAIL EGGS AND REGGIANO,
JUST TO GET US STARTED.
QUAIL EGGS. WOW.

I--I'M STRICTLY OLD SCHOOL
WHEN IT COMES TO PIZZA.

IT'S JOHN'S OR NOTHING.
JOHN'S

I'M SORRY?
NO, SAL'S

SORRY, I HAVE TO TAKE THIS,

BUT IF YOU TWO

TAKEOUT IS INEVITABLE.

WELL, YOU'RE NOT AS BAD

WHEN SHE TOOK OFF,
SHE LEFT THE TAPE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
"SHE TOOK OFF"?

UH, SHE LEFT...
WHEN I WAS 6.

I'M PRETTY SURE
SHE MOVED TO NEW YORK,

SO... THAT'S WHY
I MOVED HERE,

'CAUSE I WAS HOPING SOMEHOW
I'D FIND HER, YOU KNOW.

AND THEN WHEN MAX
KNEW THE STORY...

RIGHT.

BUT...

AS FAR AS I KNOW,
SHE DOESN'T HAVE ANY CHILDREN.

YOU KNOW,
STORIES GET PASSED AROUND...

SINCE HOMER.

MAYBE YOUR MOTHER AND MAGGIE
BOTH HEARD IT SOMEWHERE.

YEAH. YEAH, MAYBE.

I MEAN,
SHE IS A WRITER.

SHE IS?

YEP.
SHE TEACHES AT N.Y.U.

YOU WANT ME
TO TALK TO HER?

NO. NO,
I'M SURE YOU'RE RIGHT.

I'M SURE IT'S NOTHING.

I APPRECIATE
YOU MEETING WITH ME.

SURE.

HEY. WHAT'S UP?

I want to talk
to you about a job.
UH, ACTUALLY I'M BOOKED.

WELL, IT'S AN IMPORTANT CLIENT.
CAN YOU GET OUT OF IT?
No, I-I--

I GOTTA DO THAT THING FOR LAURA.
I THOUGHT YOU KNEW ABOUT IT.
LAURA?

I'M SHOOTING A WHOLE SERIES
FOR YOUR NEW OFFICES.

WHAT... RAY HIRED YOU?
HE DIDN'T TELL YOU?

NO, AS A MATTER OF FACT.
Yeah,
it's a big place, Whit.

I GOTTA SHOOT IT, INSTALL IT,
I GOTTA LIGHT IT.

IT'S GONNA KEEP ME BUSY
FOR A WHILE.

YOU TELL ME NOT TO HIRE
STEVEN CASEMAN

BECAUSE, IN YOUR EXACT WORDS,
HE'S "A DISASTER,"

AND THEN YOU HIRE HIM
OUT FROM UNDER ME?
I DID IT FOR YOU.

OH, OKAY.
THIS SHOULD BE GOOD.

I DID. I--LOOK, I KNOW
YOU'RE RELUCTANT TO MOVE,

AND YOU'RE A FAN OF HIS WORK,

AND I FIGURED IF I GOT HIM
INVOLVED SOMEHOW,

IT MIGHT MAKE THE NEW OFFICES
MORE ATTRACTIVE TO YOU.

THAT IS A LOAD OF CRAP.
THIS IS A POWER PLAY.
HOW DO YOU FIGURE THAT?

I TELL YOU I'M GONNA
RUN THINGS MY WAY.

YOU NEED TO PROVE
THAT YOU'RE IN CHARGE,

SO YOU TAKE AWAY
SOMETHING YOU KNOW I WANT.

CASEMAN!

THERE ARE OTHER PHOTOGRAPHERS
IN NEW YORK CITY, WHIT.

WHAT MAKES THIS GUY
SO SPECIAL TO YOU?

SO SP--IS THAT
WHAT THIS IS ABOUT?

YOU'RE JEALOUS
OF STEVEN CASEMAN?

I DON'T KNOW. SHOULD I BE?

ONE WEEK IN THE JOB, AND IT'S
ALREADY GOING TO YOUR HEAD.

WHAT'S THAT?

I GOT A CALL FROM REMINICK,
BELL & HERGOTT.

WELL, HEY,
THAT'S GOOD NEWS.

NO, I TOLD YOU
TO STAY OUT OF IT.

WERE YOU TRYING
TO EMBARRASS ME?

WHAT? WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT, MAN?
"OH, I-I KNOW

"HE'S NOT REALLY QUALIFIED
TO WORK AT YOUR BIG-TIME FIRM,

BUT THROW HIM A BONE
AS A FAVOR TO MY BOSS."
IT'S NOTHING LIKE THAT.

ALL RIGHT? I WAS JUST
TRYING TO HELP YOU OUT.

I MEAN, AFTER ALL YOU DID
FOR ME, I FIGURED--
I NEVER ASKED
FOR PAYBACK, OKAY?

LOOK, EVERYTHING
I'VE EVER GOTTEN IN MY LIFE

I'VE GOTTEN ON MY OWN,
ALL RIGHT?

NOBODY'S EVER
HANDED ME A THING.

CARLOS, I GET IT.

ALL THAT YOU'VE DONE,
IT'S BEEN FOR SOMEBODY ELSE--

YOUR FRIENDS, YOUR CLIENTS.

LET SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING
FOR YOU FOR ONCE.

IT'S TOO HARD OUT THERE
ON YOUR OWN.

I KNOW YOU'RE TRYING
TO HELP, BUT I...

I JUST...

IT DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT.

I JUST GOT YOU IN THE DOOR.

IT'S UP TO YOU TO PROVE
THAT YOU CAN STAY THERE.

TAKE THE MEETING,
CARLOS.

HEY.

HELLO.

UH,
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

UM, NAVAJO WHITE
OR SILVERY MOON?

I'M PARTIAL
TO ANTIQUE LINEN.

OF COURSE YOU ARE.

CAN YOU BELIEVE
I'M DOING THIS?

YEAH. LISTEN, I...

I KNOW THIS IS AN AMAZING
OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU,

BUT JUST BE
A LITTLE CAREFUL, OKAY?

WHAT, YOU THINK
I'M IN OVER MY HEAD?
NO, I THINK
YOU'RE GONNA DO GREAT.

IT'S RAY. HE HAS AN ULTERIOR
MOTIVE FOR EVERYTHING.

WELL, WHAT'S GOING ON?

UH, HE'S BEEN AFTER ME
SINCE THE DAY HE GOT BACK,

AND HE'S GOT IT IN HIS HEAD THAT
I HAVE THIS THING FOR STEVEN,

SO HE HIRED HIM ON THIS JOB
AS SOME KIND OF BIZARRE TEST.

OH.

WHAT?

DO YOU?

WHAT?

HAVE A THING FOR STEVEN?
NO.

BECAUSE YOU TOLD ME
ONCE THAT YOU DIDN'T,

YOU KNOW, BUT IF YOU DID,
I-I NEVER WOULD HAVE...

I'M--DO YOU HAVE...
S

I DON'T KNOW. I MEAN,
I MIGHT BE INSANE,

BUT I ACTUALLY THINK THERE'S--
THERE'S SOMETHING THERE.

ARE YOU... SERIOUS?

I MEAN, YOU KNOW,
WE'VE BEEN WORKING TOGETHER,

WHICH I THOUGHT WOULD BE AWKWARD
BECAUSE WE SORT OF... KISSED.

YOU KISSED STEVEN?

I PUT HIM IN A LIP-LOCK
THE OTHER NIGHT.
I...

LOOK--BUT LOOK,
IF YOU AND HE,

IF--IF YOU HAVE FEELINGS
FOR HIM, I CAN...

I TOLD YOU,
HE'S A FRIEND.

ARE--ARE YOU
ABSOLUTELY SURE?
I'M SURE.

OKAY.

HEY, MAX.
HEY, ELIZA.
BYE, ELIZA.

HEY, THAT'S PRETTY COOL,

TO KNOW ONE OF THE BIG KIDS,
ISN'T IT?

I GUESS.

WHAT'S WRONG, HONEY?

MAX SAID THAT HIS DAD
IS YOUR BOYFRIEND.

NO, NO. I TOLD YOU,
WE'RE JUST WORKING TOGETHER.

WOULD THAT--WOULD THAT
BOTHER YOU IF HE WAS?

DADDY ALWAYS SAID
THAT YOU WERE HIS GIRL.

HE WOULDN'T WANT YOU
TO HAVE A BOYFRIEND.

HEY, ELIZA!

HEY!

I SHOULD HAVE
BOUGHT A GUIDEBOOK,

YOU KNOW, A HANDBOOK
FOR WIDOWED MOTHERS

ON HOW TO TALK
TO YOUR KIDS ABOUT IT.

WHAT

UM, ELIZA'S WORRIED THAT
I'M TRYING TO REPLACE HER DAD.

OH.

I GUESS I JUST THOUGHT,
IT'S BEEN A WHILE, AND...

SHE'S DOING PRETTY WELL,

AND I THOUGHT IF I JUST DIDN'T
MAKE A BIG DEAL OUT IT,

YOU KNOW, I COULD MAYBE MOVE ON
WITH THAT SECTION OF MY LIFE.

I DON'T KNOW.
WELL, IF YOU'RE HAPPY,
SHE'LL BE HAPPY, TOO.

WELL, I WISH
IT WERE THAT SIMPLE.

IT'S JUST, SHE'S ONLY 8,
YOU KNOW. SHE DOESN'T...

HEY,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

ARE YOU GONNA
TAKE SOME CLASSES?

NOT REALLY.

UM...

THERE'S THIS TEACHER THERE--

MAGGIE NEWTON.

YEAH?

SHE...

THERE'S A CHANCE THAT...

AS IMPOSSIBLE
AS IT MIGHT SOUND...

THAT SHE EITHER
KNOWS MY MOTHER...

OR IS.

YOUR MOTHER?

YEAH, I KNOW.

ALL THESE YEARS I'VE
BEEN WONDERING WHERE SHE IS,

WHAT SHE'S DOING.

IT TURNS OUT SHE COULD
BE SIX BLOCKS FROM HERE,

FRIENDS WITH
YOUR FRIEND STEVEN.

IT SOUNDS IMPOSSIBLE,
BUT I DON'T...

ARE YOU GONNA GO
AND SEE HER?

I DON'T KNOW.

SHE MADE A DECISION TO LEAVE,
YOU KNOW.

SHE NEVER TRIED
TO CONTACT ME, SO...

MAYBE SHE DOESN'T WANT
TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH ME.

IF I HAD A DAUGHTER
LIKE YOU...

I WOULD WANT TO KNOW HER.

THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT.
HOW SO?

WELL, FOR ONE THING,
SHE'S A BLONDE.

I DON'T KNOW.

SHE DOESN'T MAKE ME CRAZY.
SHE DOESN'T PUSH MY BUTTONS.

SHE'S SMART.
SHE'S STABLE.

WE'RE BOTH PARENTS.

I FEEL EASY WITH HER.

IT'S TOO SOON.

ARE YOU LISTENING?
YOU'RE NOT READY.

YOU--YOU SAY SHE'S BEEN
THROUGH A HARD TIME?

SO HAVE YOU.

YEAH,
WELL, MAYBE IT'S TOO SOON,

MAYBE IT'S NOT TOO SOON,
BUT...

WHAT IF A GOOD THING
COMES ALONG AT THE WRONG TIME?

IT'S GOOD, JIM.

IF IT'S RIGHT,
IN SIX MONTHS, A YEAR,

IT'LL STILL BE RIGHT.

HEY.
HEY, STEVEN. HEY, CLAIRE SAID
YOU WANTED TO TALK TO ME.

I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND,
I JUST, UH...
OH, NO, NO, DON'T.
COME ON IN.

NO, NO,
I CAN'T STAY, I--I'M...

UH...

LISTEN, RECENT DECLARATIONS
OF FRIENDSHIP ASIDE,

I, UH, I DO FEEL LIKE
THERE'S SOMETHING...

HERE...

WITH US.

AND, UH, BUT SINCE WE'RE GONNA
BE WORKING TOGETHER,

OBVIOUSLY, I, UM...

JUST... I SHOULD
TELL YOU THAT--

AND THIS HAS LITERALLY
NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU AT ALL--

BUT I'M JUST NOT, UM...

I'M NOT IN A PLACE RIGHT NOW
IN MY LIFE WHERE, UH...

IT WOULD BE SUCH
A GOOD IDEA FOR ME TO, UH...

TO--

IT'S OKAY. I GET IT.

UH, YOU KNOW, IN TRUTH, MY LIFE
IS PRETTY COMPLICATED, TOO.

I JUST HAD THIS FANTASY...
I COULD MAYBE GO BACK TO LIVING

LIKE A REGULAR PERSON,
YOU KNOW,

AND HAVE THE THINGS
THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE AND...

SO MAYBE I CAN'T.

I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH I
APPRECIATE YOU SEEING ME AGAIN.

WELL, CAN YOU START
ON MONDAY?

WHAT...
I

GOOD TO HAVE YOU,
CARLOS.

WELL, THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I, UH, I JUST
WANT YOU TO KNOW

THAT I'M GONNA WORK MY TAIL OFF
TO DESERVE THIS.
COUNT ON IT.

I'M GLAD
WE FINALLY HIRED

SOMEONE WITH
REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE

INSTEAD
OF ANOTHER HARVARD CLONE.

CONGRATULATIONS.

THANK YOU.

HAVE A SEAT.

YOU ENJOYING THE JOB?

YEAH, DEFINITELY.

GOOD.
YOU WANT TO KEEP IT?

WHO'S CARLOS?

OH, RAY,

I WAS GONNA TALK TO YOU
ABOUT THAT, ACTUALLY.

UH, HE'S A FRIEND OF MINE
THAT I-I KNOW FROM--

LISTEN TO ME.

YOU EVER USE ME OR MY NAME AGAIN
BEHIND MY BACK,

YOU'LL BE BACK DRIVING...
GARBAGE TRUCKS.

YOU UNDERSTAND ME?
RAY, LOOK, I'M--I'M--
I'M SORRY, REALLY, I AM,

BUT... I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW,
I WAS JUST THINKING

ABOUT ALL OF THE STUFF
THAT YOU WERE SAYING TO ME

ABOUT TREATING BUSINESS
LIKE FRIENDSHIP, AND CARLOS--

YOU KNOW, HE'S A GOOD ATTORNEY.
HE'S REALLY GOOD.

AND SO IT'S NOT LIKE
YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HIM

MAKING A FOOL OUT OF YOU
OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. W
I'M SORRY.
YOU GOTTA SEE YOUR FACE.

I HAD... I'M JUST--
I'M JUST MESSING WITH YOU.

I'M JUST MESSING WITH YOU.
I GET IT. RELAX.
YOU DO?

YEAH. YOU DID YOUR FRIEND
A FAVOR,

PUT SOME MONEY
IN HIS POCKET.

NOW IF YOU EVER NEED
ANYTHING FROM HIM, YOU'RE SET.

NO, NO, NO. I DIDN'T
DO IT SO HE'D OWE ME.

THEN WHY'D YOU DO IT?
CARLOS IS A FRIEND.

A FRIEND?
I THINK YOU FORGOT

THE SECOND PART
OF WHAT I TOLD YOU, DAMIAN.

TREAT BUSINESS LIKE FRIENDSHIP
AND FRIENDSHIP LIKE BUSINESS.

ALL DUE RESPECT, RAY,
I DON'T DO THAT.

I'M NOT GONNA HELP A FRIEND OUT
THEN ATTACH STRINGS.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU,
RAY?

I HIRED A NEW GUY
THIS WEEK--DAMIAN.

YEAH, I MET HIM.
I THOUGHT, HERE'S A GUY
I CAN MENTOR, MOLD.

A MINI RAY.

YEAH, I GUESS,

BUT HE REMINDED ME
OF SOMETHING I FORGOT.

LOOK, WHIT, I KNOW YOU DON'T
HAVE ANY REASON TO BELIEVE ME,

BUT... I'M GONNA
DO SOMETHING FOR YOU

AND EXPECT
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN RETURN.

I WILL BE
YOUR SILENT PARTNER,

STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY--
IN BUSINESS

AND IN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE.

THANK YOU, RAY.

I REALLY HOPE
YOU MEAN IT.

I DO.

OH, AND JUST FOR THE RECORD,
THE THING ABOUT CASEMAN

AND ME HIRING HIM OUT
FROM UNDER YOU AND ALL THAT?

YOU WERE RIGHT.

I GUESS I... JUST WANTED TO SEE
HOW MUCH HE MATTERED TO YOU.

I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
