All language subtitles for Obsessed (1992)

Nice line. Yeah.

You three bozos are on the green putting
for birdie.

Old Ed is stuck in the bunker.

You're not going to win this round too
easily, Eddie boy. I got a hundred says

get down before you guys. You're
covered.

Oh, can I have some of that?

I feel I'm being hustled.

Now you guys can live with yourselves.

Give it your best shot. Go ahead.

I guess some guys are just lucky.

You can make that shot again in a
hundred years.

I don't have to make it again. I already
got your door, Jeff.

Give these guys another round and put it
on my tab.

What, you're not going to join the
losers?

No, I've got to get down to the marina.
I'm meeting a surveyor.

Don't tell me you're selling the boat.

Apart with the tranquility? No way.

My insurance guy says I'm underinsured,
so I've got to get reappraised.

Come on, Ed. Let's play a little cards.
Give us a chance to get the money back.

No, Kurt, no.

The roll this guy's on, he'd probably
strip mine as well.

Ed, go on. Out of here. Go.

I'll see you guys next Saturday on the
tee.

All right.

Mr. Bledsoe?

Are you aboard, Mr. Bledsoe?

Hello?

Hi, I'm Ed Bledsoe. What can I do for
you?

I'm Lori Brindle with Pack Norwest
Marine.

I'm sorry I'm late, but I had traffic.

Oh, I was expecting Ron Katzen.

Right, Ron got hung up in Newport.

I offered to fill in so you wouldn't
have to reschedule.

Of course, if you'd rather wait until
he's available.

I'm a good surveyor. I don't think
you'll be disappointed.

Oh, no, you're fine. I was expecting a
guy.

Beautiful boat. How long?

About ten years.

She was a derelict.

Picked her up cheap and refitted her
myself.

Oh, you certainly did a nice job.

Plus a small fortune.

A lifetime of ours.

Do you live on board?

I use it as an office, though. My
secretary comes down three times a week.

Well, I've seen a lot of boats, but not
many that's old in this kind of shape,

Mr. Bledsoe.

You know, you could call me Ed.

Okay, Ed.

Should we get started?

That'd be my guess.

It's beautiful.

Did your wife help you decorate?

No, my wife hated this boat from the get
-go.

I knew I had made a tragic mistake. She
divorced me immediately.

Well, let's go forward and check the
operating system.

See, it's diesel -powered, right?

Yeah, twin diesels. I rebuilt them
myself last year.

Well, we should have this wrapped up by
the end of next week.

If you like, I'll copy your insurance
agent direct. That way it'll save you

postage. And I'll be very generous in my
appraisal.

Thanks. I'd appreciate that.

You're a very lucky man.

I'd give anything to own a boat like
this.

Well, you have to give just about
everything.

But as long as I'm captain of the
Tranquility, there's a crew jersey with

name on it aboard.

Is it my imagination or have you been
flirting with me all afternoon?

I hope I haven't offended you.

I just wanted to make sure.

Think that I had fun.

Did I give you my card?

Yeah, I think so.

Call me. I'll crew for you anytime.

Really?

Really.

Mail call.

Oh, Ron wants to get the paperwork on
the Phillips yacht for the buyer's

ASAP. I'm almost finished with it. We
can messenger it before lunch.

Who the hell is Captain Tranquility?

Oh, that's Ed, the guy I told you about.
His yacht's called the Tranquility.

I told you he would call, didn't I?

It's my crew jersey.

I'm impressed.

This guy shows potential.

Crew call this Saturday, 5 p .m., for a
wonderful sunset dinner cruise up the

coast. Bring nothing but your smile,
Captain Blitzo.

Sounds like a great date.

It's more than a date.

You say that every time, Laurie.

Yeah, but this time it's going to
happen.

Reporting for duty, Captain.

Welcome aboard.

Have you ever seen the sunsets at
Catalina? They're fantastic.

Unbelievable.

Great place to go on a weekend cruise.

Oh, I'd love that.

Listen, why don't we trade off here?

We'll head back, have this incredible
meal planned for us.

Unforgettable. I think the whole
evening's pretty unforgettable so far.

My father hit the roof when I dropped
out of university in the second

But what good was a liberal arts degree
going to be in real life?

So I bummed around on sailboats in
Florida for a few months.

Went to school there, got my marine
surveyor's license.

Packed Northwest recruited me for their
Seattle office.

Transferred me down here last year.

Dad must be very proud of you.

Why don't I make some coffee?

Well... Sarah, it's fair. You've been
working like a galley slave.

Look, I'll make the coffee and clean up.
You just sit back and relax.

Okay,

I'm spoiled.

Is this what you had in mind?

That's all I had in mind, Mr.

Blitzkopf.

Right there, that's good.

I was worried sick about you. You know,
I left like a jillion messages on your

machine last night. I called the country
club at six this morning. They said you

missed your tea time. You never miss
your tea time.

Oh, it's Saturday.

The guys are going to kill me.

So then I went by your house. You
weren't there. I was starting to freak.

You're freaking fool.

Stephen surprised me with a weekend at
La Costa. We're leaving in a few

We were supposed to have dinner tonight.
I didn't want you to worry.

So, Dad, what is going on? Why are you
sleeping on the bus?

We'll have dinner next week. You go to
La Costa?

And I'll see you later, okay?

Wait, can I get a drink of water?

I'll get it for you.

Here's your water, sweetheart.

Why are you whispering?

You got a woman stashed aboard or
something?

Yeah, I got a set of twins.

Joy LaCosta. Call me when you get back.
Dad, what is going on?

Well, excuse me.

Uh, sweetheart, this is Lori Brindle.
She, uh, she did the, uh, you know, the

marine survey on the boat for the
insurance company.

Lori, this is my daughter, Andrea.

Well, welcome aboard.

Hi. Well, Dad, I really ought to be
going now.

Oh, it was nice meeting you, Andy.

I can call you Andy, right? I mean, your
dad told me so much about you.

Look, why don't you two relax and I'll
go fix some juice and coffee.

Uh, thanks, but... My boyfriend's
waiting for me in the car.

Yeah, they're going to go to La Costa
for the weekend.

Oh, I'm jealous.

Well, maybe when you get back, we can
all have dinner.

Oh, that might be fun.

Yeah, I owe you one.

Well, it's nice to meet you, Laura.

Oh, Lori.

Sorry.

No problem. Have a good time.

I will. Thanks.

Bye. Come on. I'm going to walk her to
the dock.

You could have told me.

Yeah? She's really young.

You have a problem with that?

I didn't say that.

Actually, she's very bright. She's a lot
of fun.

I just don't want you to think that
she's just another roll in the hay for

How do you know you're not just another
roll in the hay for her?

Oh! You're cruel.

Go to Lacoste. Call me when you come
back. See ya. Right.

Oops. Everything okay?

Yeah.

You did great.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Listen, why don't you get dressed and
I'll show you a great place for

Oh, it's a work day. I have to be in the
office by nine.

So why don't we get undressed and get
dressed?

What do you say, Mr. Bledsoe?

So?

So, he's the man I'm going to marry.

Marry? You had one date.

You're talking great sex.

It was beyond sex. It was terrible.

I've never felt like this before.

Does he feel the same way?

Ed is going to love me forever and ever.
Amen.

Maybe we ought to notify the press.

It is news.

Not a single Bledsoe Hail Mary shot in
18 holes.

And to Lawson, he's got to pay off more
for one of his wallops.

You guys make me sound like Bobby Jones.
I don't play any better than you.

It's just I don't play as bad as often.

Can I help you?

Yeah, can we just sit anywhere? Sure,
sit anywhere you like. Enjoy yourself.

Have a great time.

Oh, man, check this out, guys.

Whoa.

Good work, God.

She's unbelievable.

Is she a new member here?

What kind of guy gets to go to bed with
a girl who looks like that, huh?

Man, not guys like us.

Speak for yourself, Jim.

Hey, listen to him.

You know, she looks like she might be
just your type.

Why don't you go hit on her? Yeah, why
not?

You're single.

I mean, old as hell, but single.

Two to one, she shoots you down.

Okay, I'll bet you 50 bucks, two to one,
that she leaves here with me.

Not with you, like she gets up and walks
out and you walk out with her? Uh -uh.

She's got to be on your arm.

Jerry, you're wounding me.

You think I'd run a cheap scam like that
on my friends?

All right, 50 bucks, two to one, she
leaves on my arm.

You got a bet? Done.

Don't wait up.

I can't wait to see this.

how she told him to buzz off.

She's getting up.

I do not believe this guy.

Excuse me, guys.

I'd like you to meet Miss Lori Brindle.

Hi. Are you guys really going to give
him $100 if he walks me out of here?

He promised me half of it.

You guys will never learn.

I'm going to let you off the hook.

It was worth the $300 to see your face,
don't you?

What do you say, Miss Brindle? Shall we
go do something interesting?

Oh, yes, Mr... Bledsoe. Ed Bledsoe.

Call me Ed.

Eddie. Fast, Ed.

When I was a kid, the girl rode on this
bar in the front.

You know, I haven't done this for years.

My butt's killing me. Well, let's go
faster.

Let's go faster? What are you trying to
do, destroy me?

This has been a great week.

Ready? Ready.

Beautiful.

Honey, are you sure you have to go away?

It's only going to be for a couple of
days.

I'll be back in a breath.

Never felt like this with anyone.

So safe.

Like nothing bad can ever happen as long
as your arms are around me.

Do you love me?

I surely do.

I think about you all the time.

Will you love me forever?

Until the Statue of Liberty sits down.

Do you think I'm kidding?

If this is some kind of a joke, I want
it to be forever.

Lori, honey, I didn't mean to upset you.
I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I love you so much.

It's going to be so perfect.

Thanks.

How was Phoenix?

It was fine.

What are all these clothes doing in
here? All these shoes.

Oh, Tina's boyfriend's in town from San
Francisco.

I thought that I would give them a
couple of days' privacy.

I didn't think you'd mind if I stayed
here.

All these clothes for a couple of days?

Well, it's kind of silly me running back
and forth between my place and yours

when I'm here most of the time, don't
you think?

Besides, we'll give us a lot more time
together.

What's wrong?

What did I do wrong? I thought you'd be
happy.

Well, it would have been nice if we had
talked about it. I mean, it's kind of a

major step.

You don't want me here? Fine.

I thought it would be a surprise, but I
guess the surprise is on me.

I'll pack my stuff.

Laurie, you don't have to pack.

It was a great surprise.

I'm really happy.

Now I have you all to myself.

Really?

Really.

I didn't mean to make you mad. I should
have asked.

You didn't make me mad.

I have a present for you.

You're not too tired from your trip, are
you?

You don't feel too tired.

Hi, Lori.

My dad with you?

He's meeting me for lunch. I'm a little
early.

Want to get something while you're
waiting?

One of those would be great.

Been shopping?

Yeah, I got a nice suit. My dad's in
town next week. We're going to think

for dinner.

I think he's going to like Adam. I mean,
there's so much to like. Of course, it

may come as a shock to Daddy that I'm
living with a man much closer to his age

than mine.

You're living together?

He didn't tell you?

It's been a couple of weeks now.

No, I didn't know things were so
serious.

We've made a commitment to each other,
Andy. I thought you understood that.

Oh, yeah, well, I knew you'd been seeing
a lot of each other. I just didn't

realize.

Well, I hope I haven't upset you.

No, not at all.

It's just, you know, it's been a long
time since my dad has had any kind of

relationship, and, uh... Oh, come on,
he's so attractive, he must have had

of girlfriends.

What were they like?

You better ask him.

Are you okay with your dad and me?

Yeah, why wouldn't I be?

For starters, my age. I'd probably like
it better if I was about 40 or so.

Then you'd still be daddy's little girl.

Excuse me.

Look, I make him happy, Andy.

Just because he loves me doesn't mean he
can't love you anymore.

Everything's a crisis today. Do you have
a phone that I can use?

Yeah, why don't you use the one up in
the office?

Cafe au lait, s 'il vous plaît.

Hi.

See Lori?

Yeah, she's upstairs making some calls.

You're living together?

She moves in and you don't even tell me?

She brought over a toothbrush and a
change of clothes. I don't think that

constitutes living together.

You better tell her that.

Dad, how serious are you about this
girl?

Not as serious as I am about you. Oh,
sure.

We're having fun.

I'm entitled to have a little fun, don't
you think?

Does it feel permanent?

I've only known her a month. The girl is
probably running around signing her

name, Lori Bledsoe, just to see how it
looks.

Hey, listen.

We're all grown -ups here, babe.

Everything's going to be fine.

I just want you to check and see if
you're playing by the same rules.

Do I look all right?

You look phenomenal.

Relax.

I'm the one who should be nervous.

I just want this to be perfect.

It'll be perfect.

Oh, damn it.

I'm not going to be jerked around by
Tanaka and his people like this.

You tell him that I'll meet him in
Vancouver at his hotel at midnight

That's right, but a meet is a deal. I'm
sure he understands that. You just set

it up. I'll get back to you.

Hi, Daddy.

Ah, you look sensational.

Thanks. I want to introduce you to Ed.

You're older than I am. You're too old
for her.

I'm 58.

Well, I think I just come in under the
wire. I'm Ed Blitzer.

Chuck Brentel, Ed.

What do you drink?

White wine for you. Your ice, would I?

Scotch rocks.

You're teaching her some very bad
habits, Ed.

Scotch rocks for this beautiful vision
you see before you who just happens to

my daughter.

What about you, Ed?

Oh, that'll be fine for me. All right.

So, Ed, what do you do besides rob
cradles?

Daddy, please.

Do you have any people in Chicago?

I do business there with Lou Bledsoe.
He's very big in real estate.

No, I'm the only Bledsoe I know, Chuck.

So you travel a lot, huh?

Oh, constantly.

And there's no substitute for that
personal touch.

And what about you, Ed?

Well, most of my clients are in the
Midwest.

You know, I talk to them by phone, and I
would say about four or five days a

month I travel.

We have a great travel day planned for
you, Daddy.

We're going to take you to Newport Beach
on Ed's yacht. It's really fabulous.

Oh, I'm sorry, sweetheart. I'm flying
out tonight.

It's just one of those further moment
things. Ed, I'm sure you understand. You

pause to take a breath, and somebody's
going to climb over your back.

Well, I was hoping that you'd get a
chance to meet my boss. I mean, I just

promotion. He thinks that there's a
chance. Well, that's terrific, Laurie.

know, she really is a go -getter, as she
always has been.

So, what's good here? And don't tell me
prime rib. I'm trying to cut back on red

meat.

Dad, can you just stay over one more day
so we can have some time together?

We'll do it next time. Don't worry.

And I'll have my secretary call and
coordinate.

And you, Bledsoe, you better take care
of her. I'm going to come looking for

you.

I'm sorry, sweetheart.

But you know how it is sometimes.

Well, now that we have him out of our
lives, what do you say we go dancing?

Don't you get it?

He said it couldn't be helped.

Why couldn't he do this? This is one
lousy time. Why can't I be important?

and worry.

How was the trip?

It was good.

So how do you like it?

It gives the room more of a feeling of
space. It's much more open.

How come you got the television over
there? You know, the afternoon sun comes

through those windows over there and
hits the screen and you can't see

Put shades up, problem solved.

Well, I don't want to put shades up. I
mean, with shades up, I can't see the

boats.

Actually, I like the room the way it
was.

Okay, fine.

We'll put it back the way it was. That's
no big deal.

Why don't you go fix yourself a drink?

I have a fabulous dinner.

Hey, Phil and Jerry picked me up at the
airport and we went over to the club and

had a sandwich and a few beers. Why
don't we just have a drink?

What's the problem?

You know, you could have called. I spent
all afternoon on this.

Who asked you to?

I've been married twice. I don't need
another wife.

Look, I just thought... I don't answer
to you. You have to understand that.

Otherwise, we're going to have a major
problem here.

The best part of fighting is making up.

Won't you let me make you happy?

Hey. You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Yeah?

I don't know. You seem a little, uh,
scrappy the last couple of weeks.

Business, uh, kicked in your ass?

Business is good.

I just picked up three new clients in
Chicago.

Things are great.

Okay.

It was a mistake letting her move in.

She's everywhere. I'm telling you, she's
everywhere.

She's watching it too, right?

So I decided to go in the bedroom and
get a little time to myself.

Two minutes, three tops.

She's in there next to me like she wants
to be.

She doesn't even want me to close the
door when I'm in the bathroom.

Oh, God.

Some guys would love to have your
problems.

Gorgeous young girl, so hot for you she
can't keep her hands off you.

There's no question.

A lot of it's great.

I never met with a woman who turns me on
like this.

I'm the one who has to get the headache
in order to get some sleep.

but I think it's getting to be too much
of a good thing.

I think I'm smothering it, Laurie.

What a way to go.

Have you talked to her? Told her how you
feel?

Wait for some space.

Space?

I couldn't pry her off me with an
abalone knife.

I'm not kidding you.

And I like her. I really like her. I
mean, you know, there's something.

she wants forever.

They've had two forevers.

So enjoy it when it lifts.

I'm going to get a beer.

Oh, Bertrand Gordon.

Oh,

God.

Oh, God. Remember that place in Madrid
where Jerry almost got in a fight with a

bartender? He thought the guy was
flirting with me. You were flirting with

bartender. Yeah, well, so were you.

Oh, you.

You look just like Julio and Clayton.

Julio is amazing. We should all do
another trip together, you know? Go

fun. Vegas. What do you say? Yeah, yeah.

You're going to take ad number one or
number two.

Do you remember the last time we went
there?

We saw Billy Crystal. He opened for
Liberace. It was so much fun. He did his

nanny. I almost wet my pants.

Sweetheart.

Laurie.

Laurie.

Laurie, will you wait a minute?

Now what the hell was that all about?

These are my friends. We have a history
together. We enjoy talking about old

times. I'm sorry if you were left out.

Left out?

Try invisible.

It's like that every single time we go
out with them, Ed. It's like I'm not

there. You didn't make any effort to
participate. You didn't say ten words

night. Okay, I'm guilty.

I don't have much to say about the
gossip at the club or cellulite or

stomach tapped.

My God, Ed, I felt like I was at a party
with my mother's friends.

They may be fat and they may be old, but
they're my friends.

I can be such a bitch sometimes, I don't
know how you can stand me.

All right, please don't be mad at me.

I'm not mad at you.

But I get so jealous, I don't want to
share you with anyone.

I'll get better, I promise. I mean, if
you want to go to Las Vegas, let's go.

I don't want to go to Las Vegas. I hate
Las Vegas, all right?

I want to know where we're going.

I want to know what's happening with us.

Everything's great. I mean, I've been
happier than I've ever been.

And I said I was sorry. Please don't
punish me. I'm not punishing you.

Listen, Seth.

It's been a long time since I've lived
with anybody.

I've gotten accustomed to being alone.

I need that time.

What did I do?

It had to be more than just tonight.
What was it?

Look, you're still paying rent at
Tina's.

Why can't you just stay there a couple
of nights a week? It'll make the nights

we spend together all the more special.

I thought you wanted to be with me. I do
want to be with you. I don't want to

see someone else.

It's just that I need some space.

Okay, Mr. Whitfield.

I want to be with you more than I've
ever wanted anything.

And that means only being with you a few
nights a week.

Fine.

You're terrific.

You know that, don't you?

You ever forget it?

Here we go.

Laurie. I really can't talk to you about
my dad anymore.

It makes me feel uncomfortable, and I'd
just feel better if he just left me out

of it.

If he was seeing another woman, you'd
tell me, wouldn't you, Andy?

Look, he's not seeing anyone else.

And if he was, he'd tell you.

You've got to give him some credit. You
know, he's not going to sneak around on

you.

You know, I get this terrible feeling
that I'm losing him, and I don't know

to do.

Like the more I love him, the more he
pulls away from me.

And I try and stay away to give him his
space, but it's tearing me apart.

Why can't he want me as bad as I want
him?

You know, if he's not willing to make
the same kind of commitment that you

maybe you should think about where
you're headed.

What do you mean?

Did he say that he wanted out?

No. No, we're talking about you here.

You've thought a lot about marriage,
right?

The day we met.

I know it sounds crazy, but I knew he
was the one.

Look, Laurie, he is a great father, but
a lousy husband.

I mean, is marriage what he wants?

Of course.

I mean, he doesn't say it, but I know
it's in his heart.

You're assuming an awful lot.

You know, it's weird.

Part of my heart says it'll love me
forever and we'll be happy.

The dark part says that I'm losing him.

Andy?

I didn't expect you.

Well, if you were, it wouldn't be a
surprise now, would it?

Here, sit down.

Make yourself comfortable, but not too
comfortable, because I'm kidnapping you.

Here's this, lover.

What's going on?

I'm driving us up to the mountain, to
the most romantic bed and breakfast.

For the next 48 hours, our most sensual
fantasies are going to come

true, Mr. Bledsoe.

That's fabulous.

But we got to do it next week. Then I'm
yours, body and soul.

The reservations are for this weekend,
tonight.

This weekend is the club championships.
That's the tournament I have to play in.

Golf? Yeah, golf.

You'd rather play golf than make love to
me? This is important, Ed.

Look, I planned this all week.

I heard flowers for the room,
everything.

Don't destroy this for me, not after I
worked so hard. Please.

I'm the defending champion.

It's a tournament I can't miss. It's
match play. The guys are counting on me.

The hell with the guys.

Damn you. Why can't I be important just
once?

Hey, you could have asked me.

Don't make me choose between you and the
rest of my life. You're not going to

like the choice I make.

I've had this.

I want you to get your stuff and I want
you to get out of here. I'm going to

give you a half hour. When I come back,
I want you gone.

I'm dead, senor.

Careful, it's hot.

Thanks.

This has been a really wonderful day,
Dad.

I missed you.

I missed you, too.

This is a lot better than that fancy
stuff you sell in that shop of yours.

Campfire coffee.

Made with the eggshells, just like he
taught me when we used to go camping in

the Sierras.

Like yesterday.

Have you heard from Lori?

Not a word in the last couple of weeks.

Do I hear a little disappointment in
your voice?

I'd be lying to you if I told you I
didn't miss her.

I just don't love her the way she loves
me, and that makes me feel guilty.

Like somehow it's my fault. Like I made
promises to her that I never intended to

keep.

Did you?

I may have committed a few sins of
omission, but... I never told her I

marry her. I mean, that was all her
idea.

So why do I feel like the bad guy?

Because that's exactly how she wants you
to feel.

This thing really knows how to
manipulate you, how to push your

I thought you liked her.

I just don't think she's very stable.

I really think you saved yourself a lot
of grief by cutting it off with her.

Here you go, Annie. Thank you.

Really, you should have her read your
cards. I mean, she's fabulous.

She got the whole situation with Enemy
right down to the time since I moved

When did you start smoking again?

Oh, a week, maybe longer. It's no
biggie.

So anyway, she reads my card, and she
tells me that this man loves me more

he's ever loved anyone.

But he's afraid to show his feelings.
He's afraid that he'll get hurt, so

why he won't call me.

He hasn't called you in two weeks, Lori.

I've been married twice, and he got
burned both times.

He's afraid that if he'll commit to me,
I'll hurt him.

He dumped you. Look, you've got to deal
with that.

Tina, don't say that.

That's the way it is.

I mean, you're just going to make
yourself crazy again.

Forget him. Move on.

He'll call.

When the pain of missing me gets too
much, he'll pick up that phone and we'll

spend the rest of our lives together.

The most romantic man in the world.

Oh, how beautiful.

Okay. Fine here? Mm -hmm.

Here, for you. Oh, thank you. You should
put those in water as soon as you can.

They'll last longer that way.

Thanks. Open the card.

Robert?

Oh, um, he's the one I told you about.
The guy I met at the museum.

You owe me two bucks for the tip.

Oh, sure. I'm sorry.

Tina, it was a joke.

You'll have to tell me more about him
later.

Hello.

Please wake up.

Please talk to me.

Lori, what's wrong?

I know you miss me, darling. Can't you
just tell me you miss me?

Lori, it's late. I'm tired.

I need to see you.

We need to talk. We owe each other that
much, don't we?

I don't think that's a good idea.

Why can't we just sit down and talk,
tell each other how we're feeling, what

went wrong? I mean, would that be so
hard?

It's over between the two of us.

Please don't call me.

I'll be at the Pier Cafe at 12 .30 at
our table.

I will sit there all day and all night
waiting for you, Ed.

Lori, I'm not going to be there. It's
over.

You'll be there.

I know you better than you know
yourself.

12 .30, darling.

I can't believe it. The putter has
abandoned me. One bad day, big deal. One

day. You three putt five greens. You
always win. Yeah.

Disgusting.

Come on, Pally. You know, Kurt and Phil
are going to think the hog's got us.

I got to take a pass, Jer. I got some
things to do.

Ed, don't do it.

Not unless you want it to start all up
again.

What, you think I'm going to go meet
her?

Forget it, I told you that. It's ancient
history.

Whatever you do, don't sleep with her,
okay?

I mean, you can talk, explain, listen,
but don't get into the sheet music.

Jerry, come on, will you?

Ed, it's me, Jerry, your friend,
remember? You say it's over, just let it

over. Come on, let's go inside while I
have a couple of laughs, huh?

It's a compliment to the gentleman.

Well, why don't you just take it back
and tell him I'm not interested?

No dice, man. I don't know what to tell
you. I tried my best. I guess it's not

your day.

Whoever you're waiting for is not
coming.

So let's be friends.

Look, I'm sure you're a really nice guy,
but I'm with someone.

I'm the only one you're with now.

Why don't I sit down here and we get to
know each other?

Why don't you just get lost?

Hey, be nice, baby. Hey, take your...
Hey, excuse me. Hey, now you just stay

of it.

I

knew

you'd come.

We tried being a part and it didn't
work, did we?

Tell me how much you missed me. I missed
you, Lori. I missed you.

But this thing has gotten out of hand.

We've come way too far, way too fast.

I would like to continue seeing you.

But I know you want more than that and I
can't give that to you.

I want you, Ed.

It's like you want me. I mean, I've
never wanted anything more in my life.

Look, you make the rules. I can't do
that.

I feel like I'm stealing from you.

I don't want to get married.

Not now.

You know, maybe never.

And I know that that's something that
you want, and I'm just not going to be

able to deliver.

You're scared, sweetheart.

You don't have to be.

I could never leave you. I could never
hurt you.

I can never be with anyone but you, and
I'm the only one for you. We're

soulmates, Ed.

Roy, will you listen to me?

I like my life the way it was. I'd like
to get it back.

I cannot be the guy you want me to be.

Where we are, Ed.

Like we made a complete circle back
where it all started.

This is where we first made love.

Nobody's ever loved me like you love me,
Ed.

I want to feel you against me loving me.

I want to go back to the beginning.

That's not going to make any difference.

You look tired.

So it's over?

No way. I told you it would be fine,
didn't I?

God, Ed was such an animal.

I mean, there was this creep at the pear
cafe where I was waiting, and he was

hitting on me, and Ed actually fights
him, puts his lights out.

Right in a restaurant?

You know, no man has ever fought for me
like that.

It made me so hot, we barely even made
it back to the boat.

His stamina is really amazing. He just
keeps on taking me higher and higher.

You made love to him again?

And again, and again.

Well, I hope you know what you're doing,
Laurie.

It seems to me like maybe he's just
using you.

You know, why can't you just be happy
for me?

Maybe you're just jealous.

Hi,

this is Ed. Leave your name and number
and I'll call you back.

It was unbelievable.

I'm still all tingly.

and I'll call you back.

It's after 3 o 'clock in the morning.
I've been calling since 10.

Where are you? Why haven't you called
me?

I'm worried about you, sweetheart.

Please call so I can get to you, please.

I'll call you back.

Hi, baby. It's me. Are you there?

It's you, darling. Where are you? Why
haven't you called me?

talk to Lori so she'll stop calling
here.

I'm trying to sleep.

Call me tomorrow.

Great.

It's 6 .15 in the damn morning. Where
the hell are you?

survive the crash?

God, what time is it?

It's quarter to nine. If you hurry,
we'll only be a few minutes late.

I know he was home. Why wouldn't he
answer?

Why don't you just get some rest now?

I'll cover for you at work.

I think that's okay.

We made love yesterday.

You made love.

Maybe he just had sex.

Look, if he wants to end it, there's
nothing you can do about it.

I'll call you later.

Look, I'm sorry you got caught in the
middle of all of this.

She's been here for nearly two hours
today, crying on my shoulder. That's

because she really likes you. Oh, Paul,
she's trying to leverage you through me.

And then she's trying to get me to give
you all this information about how she's

suffering. Listen, she's fond of you,
and you have been mean to her.

No, mean is what you are doing to her.

You tell her you don't want to see her,
and then you take her to bed.

It was done, and then you started it all
over again.

She seemed so together when I first met
her. Well, what about you?

You are like a junkie for her. Don't you
see that?

You can't keep giving her these mixed
messages. Because as long as she sees a

little glimmer of hope, she's going to
keep trying.

I told her it was over. I told her it
was not going to work out. But did you

tell her you cared for her? She says you
did. I don't know if I told her I cared

for her. I still have feelings for her.
I'm not that cold -hearted. But that is

exactly what you're going to have to be.

She is so desperate.

She misreads your kindness and your
decency as love.

I don't care how hard it is, but you've
got to turn it off. You've got to cut

her off.

Pretend like you don't care.

I don't know if I can do that.

Well, you're going to have to, Dad,
because she's not going to stop.

I'll go to the wars, Marge.

Messages, huh?

Most of them are from the same person.

I don't think she's buying that Mr.
Bledsoe's in Phoenix for a couple of

story. I never realized that you had
such an effect on women.

Neither did I.

She'll get tired of this game pretty
soon, though.

I'm sorry if it's a hassle for you.

She doesn't strike me as a quitter.

Everyone around here thinks they forgot
your birthday.

You are, huh?

Yep.

Why don't you take a walk?

Got it.

Laurie, listen to me. Listen to me.

This has to stop.

Look, I'm sorry about all the calls, but
I had to talk to you. I was going

crazy.

I don't blame you for being mad, but
didn't you like your present?

It's just not going to work, Laurie.

I tried to tell you that yesterday. I
tried to make you understand.

We made love, Ed. What was that all
about? Were you just using me like some

whore? Is that all I am to you?

Of course not.

You know that.

But this can't go on. Yesterday was a
mistake.

Don't do this. Not over the phone.

Look, at least have the decency to tell
me face to face. Please, we can meet

this afternoon.

No, we can't see each other again. It'll
just make it harder on the both of us.

Lori, I'm truly sorry if I hurt you.

I made Catherine swear a blood oath she
wouldn't try to matchmake while I'm in

town. She really tried to act surprised
when we ran into you, Ed. She can't help

it. She's been trying to hook me up for
years.

I actually dated Jerry before she did.

And you let a good thing get away.

You stole it. Hi, guys.

Hi.

I didn't know you played tennis, Laurie.

Well, I just took it off. A friend of
mine is a member here. We're playing in

few minutes.

I don't believe we've ever met.

I'm Louise Murphy.

I'm an old friend of Catherine and
Jerry's.

And a new friend of Ed's.

I'd like to think so.

If you'll excuse me, I'll walk Laurie
down to the tennis courts.

Sit down, Adam. I'm starved. You know,
it's been so long since I've seen you

guys. A friend of mine can get us
amazing seats for the Anita Baker

Let's all go on my treat.

Laurie, I'm late. Come on, walk me to
the car.

What do you say, Louise?

I mean, he's sleeping with both of us.
We might as well be friends, right?

Come on, Laurie. She'll think you're
serious.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm embarrassing
everyone.

These things can get so complicated.

Well, it was nice meeting you, Louise.

Let's have lunch. We'll swap bedtime
stories.

She's a little old for you, isn't she,
darling?

How dare you embarrass me like that?

You're embarrassed? How do you think I
feel?

Why are we hurting each other like this?
We love each other. We do not love each

other. I do not love you. This is not
love. This is insane. This is ugly and

sick. Please don't say that. Save the
tears. It's not going to work. I want

out of my life. But I love you.

I do not love you.

Do you understand that? I do not love
you.

I mean, you need this job.

I can't believe you just walked out
after Ron talked to you today.

I mean, you keep screwing up, and Ron
will fire you, Laurie, and your work's

gone to hell.

You're moody, distracted, rude to the
clients.

Not presenting the image the firm wants
to project. You'd be the same lecture

twice in one day.

Sorry, Tina, it's just that everything's
gone brown.

You've got to forget about Ed.

I mean, it's just tearing you to pieces.

I would love to forget about Ed.

Do you think I like humiliating myself
over and over?

But I can't. I can't get him out of my
head. I drive by his house all the time

just to see if he's there.

I follow him.

I know he's seeing someone else.

If I see him with her, I don't know what
I'll do.

How will I be able to take that?

Maybe you should talk to somebody.

A professional.

I shrink. You think I'm crazy.

No. No, I didn't mean that.

You seem so lost.

Maybe if you thought somebody talked
about it.

Hey, there are other guys out there.

Lots of them.

Nobody's worth what you're putting
yourself through.

You're right.

And when you're right, you're right.

And you're right.

Well, go have a good time.

Are you going to be okay?

Absolutely. Just wake me up and tell me
all the juicy details.

You sure?

Go. Get out of here. I'm fine.

Okay.

Look, I won't be home too late.

of $8.

Hi, baby.

You didn't think I'd forget your
birthday, did you?

Lori, don't do this. Go home.

Not until you open your present.

Happy birthday, Mr. Bledsoe.

Lori, for God's sakes, go home.

Oh, come on. I know it's your side. Let
me help you with the ribbon.

Dad?

Hello.

This is Tina, Lori's roommate.

We're taking her to the hospital.

Why? What happened?

She tried to kill herself.

She cut her wrist.

San Diego General, we're leaving now.

Gina,

how is she? She's alive.

At least she was when we got here.
Nobody will tell me anything.

Do you have any quarters?

This thing only takes quarters.

You found her, huh?

She was still conscious.

There was blood all over the place.

It scared me to death.

She wrote your name on the walls with
her own blood.

She told me about what happened at your
place.

I was really out of it.

I kept saying your name over and over
again.

My daughter was there.

I guess I shouldn't have let her... I
shouldn't have let her leave in the

she was in. You know, I should have done
something.

I wasn't thinking, God.

She's not real tightly wrapped when it
comes to guys.

She's done this before?

Not this bad. I mean, she never tried to
kill herself or anything.

She's done some weird stuff.

Awful. You want some?

No.

You didn't put that razor blade in her
hand.

It's not your fault that she loves you.

Why don't you go?

Is that all right?

Uh, yeah, yeah, fine.

Come on.

You're the one who brought her in, huh?

How are you holding up?

I've been better.

Yeah, she'll be up later.

Anna?

Where's Ed?

You're going to be okay, Laurie.

Just get some rest now. Everything's
okay.

He's not here.

Go.

Call him. Tell him he was here. He was
with me the whole time.

He stayed until he knew you were okay.

I knew he'd come.

Shh.

It's okay.

You know, everything was perfect.

On the outside.

But inside...

I had this big hole in my soul.

I was looking for anything to fill that
hole.

To stop that loneliness inside.

Like I was waiting for my life to start.

Then I met Ed.

I mean, it was so right.

It was so fulfilling.

Mystical, spiritual.

Like that hole had been filled.

Like a piece of the puzzle that fit
perfectly to make it complete.

I never felt so loved, so safe, so
cherished.

But I kept hearing this little whisper
deep inside my head that it couldn't

last.

But I wouldn't listen to it.

And I'd get this terrible feeling in my
stomach like I was going to vomit.

I mean, it had to be real.

It had to last forever. Ed could never
leave me.

Because if he did, the pain would
literally be too much to take.

God couldn't be so cruel.

To make me wait my whole life for Ed and
then suddenly take him away from me.

I mean, I want to believe that. Don't
you understand? I need to believe it.

Is that why you tried to kill yourself?

To pull him back to you?

No.

I just couldn't take it anymore.

The pain.

The way I humiliated myself over and
over.

I mean, I couldn't stop it.

I knew I was driving him away, but I
couldn't control myself.

It was like I was outside my body
watching a stranger do all these crazy

Lori, tell me about this guy.

He's about 6 '1". Maybe taller.

Thick brown hair, kind of long in the
back.

Amazing boy.

Has he asked you out yet?

Tina, he's my therapist.

There can't be any personal contact.

He's brought me a long way.

The guy must be great.

I should write him a thank you note for
giving me my best friend back.

Thanks, Tina.

Really appreciate how you've been there
for me through all this.

I had to go through a lot.

Deal with reality.

The reality that Ed doesn't love me
probably never did.

I was just a little diversion.

A great act to show off to his buddies.

You know, he trashes my life and he just
walks away.

I like to make him hurt.

Give him a taste of his own medicine.

I like to go in there when he's not
home.

Tear the place apart.

Splash his clothes, paint his walls.

I had to take a screwdriver to that car
of his.

Oh, boy, that's crazy.

I was only kidding.

But I had you going, didn't I?

The miserable little bitch canceled all
my credit cards.

The clients had to pay for lunch.

Call the bank for me, will you? I've got
to straighten this out.

I thought this was over.

This is never going to be over.

It was a terrific day.

Yeah, I had a great time, too.

Well, I didn't invite you up for a
drink, but I've got an early flight out

tomorrow. Will you take a rain check?
Sure, I'll take a rain check. When are

coming back?

A couple of weeks.

I'll let you know when my plans come up,
okay? I hope so.

You're a terrific guy.

You make me laugh.

I was hoping to make you swoon.

Oh, that too.

Good night.

Make sure you get shots on both sides
and talk to anybody that might have seen

that thing. I'm going to take you there.
All right.

Mr. Bledsoe, can I talk to you for a
second?

My

mother

gave me this book when I graduated from
college. Look at him, what a mess.

When's the last time that you saw Laurie
Brendel, Mr. Bledsoe?

A couple of months ago.

The night she tried to kill herself.

Did she make any threats at that time?

No.

Well, she tried to call your fence.

Tried to contact you in any way.

I get 20, 30 phone calls a day. All of
them hang up. She canceled all of my

credit cards. She changes my airline
reservations.

And I know she's following me.

Well, there are laws against harassment.
Why haven't you talked to us before

now? Because I didn't want to get her in
trouble. How's that for a laugh?

Okay.

Now, does anybody else have a grudge
against you, Mr. Bledsoe? Bad business

deal, jealous husband, anything like
that?

It's not anybody else. It's Laurie.

She knew how important that boat was to
me. She knew the thousands of hours I

spent restoring it. She knew this was
going to hurt.

She did it as sure as I'm standing here.
And she's going to get away with it,

right? Because you're not going to
arrest her.

I got but this here, Mr. Bledsoe, all
right.

I've got no physical evidence tying her
to it. I've got no witnesses. Her

roommate has given her a so -so alibi.

I mean, even if I popped her, the DA
would never run me down.

I could build a stronger case against
you.

What are you saying? You think I blew up
my own boat? You're going to get a

check for 250K from the insurance
company. You've got a likely candidate

the heat. No one would suspect you. I
mean, she's crazy. She's tried to kill

herself. She'd do anything, right?

But she doesn't get the check for 250K,
does she, Mr. Blitzer? Hey, I don't have

to listen to this.

I'll call my lawyer.

All right, listen, save your time.

My gut instinct is the lady did the
deed.

But there's no way I can prove it.

I hope you have a good sense to change
your locks.

Yeah. The locksmith's coming tomorrow.

You're lucky.

You could have been aboard the boat.

Gavin, I'm sorry.

Tell me what happened. What do you think
happened?

He fired me. Ed wins again. He's
destroyed my life. Laurie, let me take

home.

Dad, I closed early. You said it was
important.

It's stuck.

What are you doing here?

Where is my father?

Look, it won't go in. It's crooked.

Andy, no, listen.

I just came to get some of my things.

Lori, I believe you. I just don't think
we should be here when my dad's not

home. No, Andy, we should wait for him.

He needs to see what he did to me.

Don't do this.

Please, just don't. Shut up!

Well, I guess you'll be happy.

I'll be out of his life.

But so will you.

You know, I really liked you, Andy.

I wanted us to be friends.

We are friends.

Will you stop lying?

You were against me from the start.

You poisoned him with your lies.

I mean, I don't understand it.

I ever wanted was for Ed to love me.

But you just couldn't let him go.

He hurt me so badly, he has to be
punished for that.

Just give me the gun, Laurie.

Just put the gun down. Put it on the
table.

I know you, Laurie. You are a good
person. You're a sweet person.

You know, I've seen so many shrinks in
this nightmare.

Since I degraded myself, since I
humiliated myself.

Do you know what those geniuses had to
say?

That I wanted Ed to love me because my
father never did.

This was all to make my daddy love me.

He loves you, doesn't he?

Daddy just loves the hell out of his
little girl.

I'll show him.

I'll teach him how to cry.

Dad, she's got your gun!

Come on in, Ed.

Come kiss your little girl.

Get over here!

Let her go.

No, Ed.

You have to lose.

I mean, you can get a new boat.

You can get a new car. You can even get
a new girlfriend.

Not so easy to get a new daughter, is
it?

We can't just bury them.

We still have a lot of work to do.

I'm a great first mate, Louise.

I've had a good teacher, Captain.

This last year with you has been
incredible.

You've given me a whole new life.

How about some lunch?

Good idea.

Check it out for yourself.
