Profile.

Name, age, place of birth?

Rebecca Cross, 35,

St. Paul, Minnesota.

Any tattoos or gang affiliations?

No.

No cigarettes, lighters, or contraband.

All right, take off the cuffs

and put her in the holding cell.

I couldn't help listening.

Whatever got into you to marry two guys?

I mean, I can see a side dish to spice up the main meal,

but why marry both of them?

That's a very good question.

Ah, oh.

Oh Jeffrey, Jeffrey, it's beautiful.

Thank you.

Isn't it pretty?

It's fabulous.

To Rebecca.

I didn't think it was possible,

but I love you more today than the day we were married.

To Jeffrey.

In this unpredictable world,

you are my safety net.

Thank you.

I hope Harvey and I are as happy as you

when we've been married seven years.

It's gold.

To Jeffrey, the best partner I ever had.

Practicing medicine with you is almost as much fun

as playing golf on a good day.

Oh Harvey, you're supposed to toast romance not business.

Marriage is a partnership, this is an anniversary.

I made a logical association, Desiree.

Our marriage is a partnership and a friendship.

Dr. Madison here.

Yeah, yeah, I'll be there as soon as I can.

Oh, Jeffrey, not tonight.

You promised.

I know, I'm sorry.

I didn't factor in the Lucas boys ruptured appendix.

Of course, I understand.

I love you, Rebecca.

Poo.

Happy the anniversary, Madam.

He is so romantic.

Oh please, if I pull something like that

on our anniversary, it max out my gold card.

Morning, Rebecca.

Did you have a nice anniversary dinner?

Short and sweet, thanks to Jeffrey's beeper.

The good news is I wrote up 14B.

It's in your box.

You're amazing.

Johnson asked me to help him bring

14C's mutation rate within limits.

But you're on three research projects already.

I function best under pressure.

If you really want 14C,

you're gonna have to write it up too.

I can handle that.

It's your life.

If you want it, it's yours.

Rebecca Cross.

Angie, I haven't spoken to you in...

I'll be there as fast as I can.

This is Dr. Jeffrey Madison.

Leave your message at the sound of the beep.

Jeffrey, it's me, pick up.

Please pick up if you're there.

I really need to talk to you.

Angie called from Lakeview.

My father's taking a turn for the worse.

I'm heading up there now.

Jeffrey, I'm scared.

Becky, I'm so glad you're here.

- How is he? - Not so good.

Dr. Marks can't convince him to go to the hospital.

Oh, thanks for coming over, Angie.

Sure.

Daddy, you have to listen to Dr. Marks.

You have to go to the hospital.

Honey, honey, honey, I let him take your mom

and hook her up to those machines.

It didn't make any difference.

I ought to have brought her home like she wanted.

Things are different now, daddy.

Ah, I wish I'd spent more time with you both.

The people that you love should come first,

not your work, not your hobby.

Your work was important too.

It'll last forever.

You see, I always thought we'd spend time together later.

We spent lots of time together.

Daddy, stop it.

You're gonna be all right.

You're going to the hospital.

Don't you wait for later.

Okay.

Okay.

Come on, Becky.

Gary will drive us to the cemetery.

I can't believe he's gone.

At least you got to say goodbye.

I should've come sooner.

The last thing dad said was "Don't wait till later."

I'm so sorry, Becky.

Thank you.

Come on, let's go.

Can we have just another minute alone again?

Sure.

Dad was working on these files at home.

It looks like new research.

Thank you, Rebecca,

you have no idea how much your father meant

to this university.

His work and his greenhouse have been such an inspiration.

Well daddy loved this place.

I spent half my childhood out here with him.

You must know every plant and cutting by name.

They were practically my best friends.

That's what I was hoping you'd say.

You know his work better than anyone,

you have a master's.

We need someone to catalog his work,

particularly the orchids and finish teaching the semester.

Oh, but I've never taught college.

It's only three hours a week.

That and reviewing thesis proposals.

I don't know if you plan to sell the house,

but this could give you the chance

to sort through his things and finish his work.

Wow.

Thank you, professor Gray.

I'll think about it.

So how many days a week are we talking about here?

Three or four.

I'll spend weekends with you in the city.

Rebecca, don't you think that teaching's

a step backwards for you?

It wasn't for my father.

Medicine's not the only profession, Jeffrey.

I know Rebecca, I just meant,

what about your research?

Well, as long as I turn my reports in on time,

they don't care where I do the research.

All I need is my laptop and a library.

With my father's library and the university,

I'll have access to everything I need.

You wouldn't have access to me.

I really wanna do this, Jeffrey.

Okay, so do it.

Makes sense.

You love Lakeview,

you gotta settle your dad's things anyway.

You don't spend that much time together

during the week anyhow.

Who knows, maybe I won't even miss you.

Oh, you think not?

Sure, it's not gonna be forever.

Thank you.

Hello, I'm Rebecca Cross, I'll be teaching.

Hi, I'm Harrison Cross's daughter.

I'm Ms. Cross.

Becky?

Mike.

What are you doing here?

I'm finishing up the semester for my father.

He passed away.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

I just moved back to town last month.

Nobody told me, I would've come to the funeral.

Oh, it's okay, thanks.

Wow.

I thought you were living in the city.

I'm commuting.

I go back on weekends.

I thought you were living in Wyoming

with your wife and kids.

They're in Wisconsin.

We got a divorce.

I'm coaching basketball here now.

We're in six and four.

Your kids?

No, the team.

My boys are 10 and 12.

You look sensational.

You look the same.

My lecture's starting.

Today's my first day.

Oh, good luck, I'm sure you'll do fine.

You wanna have dinner tonight?

I'm done with practice at eight.

I'm staying at my dad's.

Great, I'll see you then.

Oh.

Hello?

Hi, it's Desiree.

If Harvey calls looking for me,

would you tell him I'm with you

helping sort your father's things?

Desiree, what are you doing?

It's not a big thing, Rebecca.

It's just I haven't had any time for me, you know,

with a fundraiser deadline and Harvey driving me crazy.

And I'm supposed to lie to Harvey?

No, of course not.

Just fudge a little.

Say Desiree stepped into the shower.

She'll call you later.

And where would I reach you?

Ask for Mrs. Smith

in the St. James Hotel.

Please, Rebecca, please.

I'll stall, but I won't lie.

You be careful, Desiree.

Oh.

♪ It's gonna take a lot to satisfy me ♪

♪ Summer is here and school is history ♪

♪ Do you wanna break the rules? ♪

♪ We wanna have some fun ♪

♪ We're not gonna stop rocking till the summer is done ♪

So what do you think?

Too short?

Well what I'm thinking is why should it matter

what you look like?

You get dressed up for church, don't you?

Same thing.

Yeah, right.

There is nothing wrong

with wanting to look your best.

What's the matter?

Does your wedding ring clash with the ensemble

or didn't you mention your marriage?

We didn't get to that.

It didn't come up.

I guess I forgot.

That's the kind of detail

that shouldn't be slipping your mind, darling.

Oh, Mike might have felt awkward

asking a married woman to dinner,

although there is nothing wrong

with two adults enjoying dinner.

And that's all it is, Angela, dinner.

But you are gonna tell him, right?

Yes, eventually.

Oh Angie, I just wanna talk to Mike the way we used to talk

without all the baggage.

Just for tonight, I wanna feel like I'm 17 again

with my whole life in front of me.

Is that so terrible?

I thought you got over him a long time ago.

Yeah, so did I.

What amazes me is how everything looks and feels

exactly the same.

Do you remember the night

we walked down the mountain?

- Our junior prom? - Yeah.

Your car broke down.

I was wearing heels from hell.

And I carried you from miles.

And then you gave me your shoes.

Your size 12 brand new formal shoes,

and you walked bare down there.

Seems like last week, thanks.

You know you haven't changed a bit.

Yes, sure.

So tell me about your life.

You must have been married at least once.

- Any kids? - No.

Still want it all,

a career and a husband and a house full of babies?

You still wanna play for the Celtics?

It could have happened too

if I'd been 10 inches taller and a step quicker.

Just a bit.

You still read sci-fi?

You remember what I used to read?

Oh yeah, among other things.

You're the most memorable person I ever met.

Any men in your life?

I would love to finish this interview, Mr. Donahue,

but it's getting late.

I should get back to the house.

I've got an early morning.

So why did we break up anyway?

It would've been crazy to settle down.

I wanted to go to college,

have a different life.

Yeah, you had big dreams and I didn't wanna hold you back.

You're so incredibly beautiful, Becky.

It's getting late.

I can still picture you digging out here in the garden

on hot summer days.

Yeah, daddy was so impressed

with how eager you were to help.

It was those short shorts you used to wear.

Ah, so you really were who I thought you were.

Actually, I was.

I was exactly who you thought I was.

You knew me better than anyone.

I didn't have any defenses around you.

I know what you mean.

- Do you wanna come inside... - I don't want tonight

to end.

This is still my favorite fireplace of all time.

Where are you living now?

I'm living in a dive.

I'm alimony poor.

Was it hard for you, your divorced?

Yeah, I miss living with my kids,

but our marriage died a long time ago.

How about yours?

- Excuse me. - Sure.

Hello?

Where have you been?

It's after midnight.

I had dinner it with an old friend.

We had so much fun talking over old times.

I thought we were gonna talk about 10.

I've been calling you every 15 minutes.

I lost track of time, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to keep you awake.

When are you gonna get home tomorrow?

As soon as I can.

Could you be a little more specific, please?

Harvey and Desiree asked us to dinner.

The Ivy at 07:30.

Couldn't we go someplace ourselves?

Someplace different?

Why? I thought you liked Desiree.

Anyway, Harvey and I have some business to discuss, so.

Damn it.

Let's talk when you get home, okay?

Don't be late, all right?

Bye.

Bye.

Who was that?

Someone in the city.

Listen, I...

Maybe you'd better go.

Don't I get a good night kiss?

- You should go. - Should I?

Oh my God, hasn't hit you yet?

It's like time has stopped.

I thought I'd never feel like this again.

Me either.

You want me to go?

- Stop. - Morning sunshine.

We don't have a garbage disposal.

Daddy was making compost.

Not to worry, I've got everything under control.

You're wearing my robe.

Oh, we can fix that.

No, no, that's all right, leave it on.

That's not what you said last night, so.

My plan was breakfast in bed.

Where you keep the plunger around here anyway?

I'll call a plumber.

Well that's okay, I'll take care of it.

I just need to know where things are.

Please, please stop opening everything.

You're not a morning person.

Yes.

No.

Why don't we just skip breakfast?

As a matter of fact, you should get going.

I've got a lot to do today.

You're not the only one.

We play the division champs tomorrow.

I was hoping you might come and cheer us on?

I've got work in the city.

What exactly do you do in the city?

My degree is in biochemistry, now I do research.

I've identified over 10 potential enzymes and proteins

that consistently destroy cancerous cells.

Wow, sometimes you'll have to explain that to me

in one syllable words.

- I'll get it, hello? - No.

She's right here, it's Angie.

- Hello. - Hey, it's me.

Did Mike just pick up the phone?

What's he doing there so early?

Becky, tell me he didn't spend the night.

Angie, I can't really talk right now.

Oh my God, what about Jeffrey?

Angie, I'll call you later.

Please don't answer my phone again.

Could have been anyone.

I'm sorry, I was just trying to help.

- Here. - That's nice, thank you.

But could we take things a little slower?

Sure, that's the way you want it.

Jeffrey?

Jeffrey, I'm home.

In my office, Rebecca.

Jeffrey.

Jeffrey, it's so good to see you.

It's only been a few days, Rebecca.

Well, I felt very far away from you.

I brought you flowers from dad's Garden.

Oh, thanks, they're beautiful.

The good news is I've been able to get a lot of work done

without you distracting me.

I've almost finished my article on dermoid cysts.

You wanna read it?

Maybe later.

Well, we've got about a half an hour

before our dinner reservations.

Do you mind if I proof it?

No, not at all.

I want you to do what makes you happy.

You're the greatest, Rebecca.

Let's play 20 questions.

- Me first. - Go.

Tell me about your kids.

They're terrific.

Josh has great passion of soccer,

he's a guard, boy can run all day.

Thank you, Mark is Mr. Video King

and my ex, Chris is her name, she's a real good mom.

So I know they're all right,

but I miss doing the the little everyday things, you know?

Helping 'em with their homework

and taking bike rides after supper,

that kind of thing.

We talk every other day at least

and I see 'em on the weekends, but it's not enough.

Summers are great though.

At least they come stay with me in the summer.

I knew you'd be a great dad.

Kinda surprised you're not a mom yet.

How long ago did you get divorced?

Seems like just this morning.

What did he do?

Oh, he's a surgeon.

I meant why'd you leave him?

Scratch that, we don't have to open door number one today.

No, Mikey.

- You ought to know... - No, it's okay.

It's your turn anyway.

Ask me something else.

Anything except the secret ingredient of my spaghetti sauce

if you remember how much you loved it.

That I will take to my grave.

Why'd you get divorced?

Well, the lawyer said irreconcilable differences.

The marriage counselor said communications breakdown.

But the bottom line was we refinanced

and Chris fell for our mortgage broker.

She had an affair?

Yeah, that too.

I was too busy doing whatever I was doing

to give her what she needed obviously.

I figured we'd both let the other one down there.

What about you?

Did you ever have an affair or anything?

Oh, I could never do something like that.

Once I was married, that was it.

Were you ever attempted?

Yeah, but the point of getting married

is just say no, right?

Yeah, I knew you'd feel like that.

Oh, this is so beautiful.

I wish we could stay here like this forever.

Me too.

I gotta meet to organize in a basketball club.

Yeah and I've gotta get back to my office in the city.

Mike, Mike!

Great, right on time.

We'll make cocktails.

Pop the trunk, please, thanks.

What's this?

My father's jacket.

Your dad? I can't picture your dad in something like this.

He didn't show that side to many people.

Did you bring it for me?

Like it?

Yeah.

I brought it for you.

Thanks.

- Excuse me. - Absolutely.

Rebecca, you look fantastic.

Are you really teaching

or did you sneak out of town and get a facelift?

Now Desiree, I would never do a thing like that

without asking you for a recommendation first.

Must be those college boys.

You can practically smell the hormones on the rampage.

Catchy name for perfume, Hormones by Desiree Parnell.

I can see the ad campaign now.

And what are you two lovelies discussing?

You, sweetie.

I was just telling her about your golf game.

Is that so?

How did I do it today?

Rebecca?

I wanna talk.

About what?

Anything, everything.

I haven't seen you for a week.

Harvey says there's a good chance

they may ask you to be keynote speaker at the convention.

Hmm, you smell so good, oh.

I thought you wanted to talk.

I do.

Let's talk about Lakeview.

You think Lakeview's boring.

No I don't, not if you're there.

I'll bet you're the hottest thing that ever hit that town.

It's not supposed to be a compliment?

Yeah.

Harvey says Desiree loves it

when he tells her how hot she is.

You're taking cues from Harvey?

He's been married four times.

What is the matter with you?

I talked to Harvey into taking my calls,

I'm trying to communicate,

I'm willing to risk real intimacy.

I appreciate that,

but it's almost midnight.

If we don't go to sleep right now,

you won't get five hours.

Okay.

Boy, sometimes I think you know me better

than I know myself.

Night.

Night.

- Happy? - I've never been happier.

Hungry?

Oh yes.

- Hi, Mike. - Hey Angie.

- She's not home. - But she's on her way.

How you doing?

Good.

So I guess you two have been seeing a lot of each other.

As much as we can, yeah.

Has she told you about her marriage?

Not much, seems to be a painful subject.

Uh-huh, in what way?

Well divorce is always a bitch I guess.

You and Gary are two of the lucky ones.

What was her ex like anyway?

I didn't know him that well.

So would you please ask her to call me?

Yeah, good to see you.

Yeah.

I love Mike differently than I love Jeffrey.

Becky, it's easy to love somebody

passionately for a month.

It's not just passion.

It's all these emotions I never knew I had.

Mike makes me feel alive.

He knows me.

Well what about Jeffrey?

After seven years, he's gotta know a little something

- about you too. - He does.

He's been my best friend.

Jeffrey exposes me to a world

I wouldn't otherwise see on my own.

He loves me, but it's that quiet kind of love.

I know where I stand with Jeffrey.

Yeah, you can count on him.

If it was meant to be Mike,

it would've worked out with him the first time.

You really think so?

How the hell should I know?

I just want you to be happy.

I don't think I can be without Mike.

Look, you got over Mike before, you can do it again.

I don't know if things can be the way they used to be.

Becky, try.

Don't you owe Jeffrey that much?

Yeah.

I did tell you, Rebecca.

You simply forgot.

Can't we cancel?

No, we can't cancel.

It's for the pediatric wing.

We've got orchestra seats,

I don't wanna walk in there late.

Alright, Jeffrey, alright.

I'll try to be there by eight o'clock.

No don't try, be there.

I'll try.

Wear your blue dress.

Frank, wait a minute, I wanna talk to you.

It's the biggest game of the season.

I kind of expected you'd be there.

Well I would've been there if I wasn't so far behind

on this 14C project.

There's always something, isn't there?

Something more important than you and me.

Why is that?

That's the way life is.

Yeah, can we talk about it?

We'll talk when I get back.

I need to know you're taking

this relationship seriously, Becky.

Mike, we've only been back together for one month.

You're expecting too much too fast.

But we've known each other for over 20 years.

What is so fast?

I can't just drop everything.

My life is very complicated.

I don't want you to drop anything,

I like that we have different lives and jobs and kids

and basketball games and whatever.

We need to take another step.

You wanna move in?

It's more than that.

I feel like I'm supposed to kind of love you

sometimes or something.

It's making me crazy.

We don't have a lot of time with each other.

When we are together,

I wanna know that you're committed to me.

I can't talk about this now.

You should talk about it now.

Why? Isn't love worth waiting for?

Why Wait?

Maybe you're scared your ex-husband did something to you.

I'm not him.

Becky, we lost each other 18 years ago.

It was a mistake.

Let's not do it again.

I can't make a commitment, not now.

I gotta go.

Drive carefully.

This isn't goodbye, is it?

That's up to you.

I told you what I need.

What's the matter?

Nothing, why?

Something bothering you?

Well, it always bothers me when you're late.

It's so passive aggressive.

You're right, something is bothering me.

You feel it too, don't you?

Something's missing.

- We're stuck on cruise control. - Shh.

No highs, no lows, no passion.

Rebecca, is it that time of the month?

- No. - Shh.

I hate when you're condescending.

Rebecca, Rebecca, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to be condescending.

Come here.

I think that you are confusing passion with stress.

Now I get my highs and lows at the hospital.

When I'm with you, I just want peace and comfort.

So let's not create problems where there aren't any.

But there are.

Rebecca, the only problem is I think

you are working too hard and I understand,

I've been there myself.

I mean, everybody thinks that they're your only patient.

They want more from you than any human could possibly give.

- Something like that, yes. - Yeah.

But Jeffrey, Jeffrey,

I need to get away for a while and sort things out.

Right now? Right in the middle of the first act?

My bags are still in the trunk.

Rebecca, where is this coming from?

I need to think.

What about my needs?

I need you to be the way you were.

I need to see the rest of the ballet.

Oh, I have to go.

Fine, be melodramatic.

Have a swell time on your little vacation.

I will.

I dare you to make one from there.

Wow, I must have died and gone to heaven.

Is that your lab coat?

I went to the ballet after work.

So what do you say, gonna take my dare?

If I make it, will you stick around?

For how long?

Forever seems fair.

It's a pretty long shot.

If you think too long, you'll miss.

Just do it.

Come on, baby.

Just goes to show you if you really want it,

anything is possible.

- Really? - Really.

I don't think I can live without you in my life again.

Becky, you don't have to.

Let's go.

- Where? - Trust me.

Give you the best surprise of your life.

The wedding boat?

- I get seasick. - No problem.

It's a riverboat and it's high time

you made an honest man outta me.

Why do we have to get married?

We haven't done well by marriage so far.

Why don't we just live together?

My parents are dead,

they won't give us any grief.

We can always get married sometime later.

Becky, our whole lives, we've been coming to this night.

Let's not wait for later.

I do.

I now pronounce you man and wife.

You may kiss the bride.

What?

Just put it down by the mattress, guys.

I'm late for practice,

but I'll put it together as soon as I get home.

Why didn't you tell me about us a new bed?

Well, it was supposed to be a surprise.

Think of it as a wedding present.

But I didn't get anything for you.

Oh, that's cool.

But if you don't go to the city this weekend,

we can take a honeymoon.

We can have a really great time.

It's the bedroom on the right, guys.

We'll hop the train for Atlantic City,

spend the weekend indulging the pleasures of the flesh,

and I'll scout a high school forward.

It'll be a blast.

Think about it.

Bye.

I love you, Becky Lewis.

- Oh hi, Mike. - Hi Angie.

Hi, Becky.

- I saw the moving van... - Congratulate me, Angie,

I'm a married man.

- You're what? - Why so shocked?

I thought you and Gary believed in matrimony.

I told Angie she could be my maid of honor.

She's a little disappointed, that's all.

Oh, well, maybe we can have another ceremony

on our first anniversary.

Are you completely crazy?

This can work, Angie.

Men have been doing it for centuries.

Two wives, two families.

Why can't I?

What about children?

Well, Mike already has two

and Jeffrey doesn't want any.

Well, you want them, don't you?

And what about when you're 60 years old?

Who are you gonna grow old with?

Oh, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

I tried to talk Mike into living together,

but you know how he is, all or nothing.

Oh, so you let Mike talk you

into being a bigamist?

Why do you have to label everything?

Mike doesn't know.

He thinks I'm divorced.

Do you really believe you're gonna get away with this?

Maybe.

Well, neither one of them really wants me full time.

When Mike goes north to see his kids,

I'll go south to see Jeffrey.

Everybody gets what they need.

No, Becky, sooner or later, you'll have to choose.

Nobody gets everything.

Sweetheart, oh, I'm glad you're back.

I missed you.

Here, are you feeling better?

- Jeffrey. - Hmm?

Jeffrey, we have to talk.

All right.

They asked me to teach next semester again.

I said yes.

Without talking to me?

Oh Rebecca, we hardly ever see each other anymore.

Yeah well, when we do get together on weekends,

it'll make it that much more special.

Rebecca, married people live together,

single people see each other on weekends.

But we've been making it work on weekends so far.

Why are you objecting to it now?

Because I thought the arrangement was temporary.

But it's working so well.

Jeffrey, you are married to your work first.

I'm not jealous.

I plan around your schedule without complaining.

All I'm asking for in return is your support

and your patience while I try a career

that means something to me, teaching.

How can I argue with that?

I think it's terrific

you're mature enough to encourage Rebecca

to have a life totally separate from yours.

Not totally separate.

I mean, most men would be jealous and possessive.

Rebecca's so beautiful

and all those young, handsome college boys.

Well that's one thing I don't have to worry about.

It must be great to be together so long

that you know absolutely everything about each other.

I learned something new from Desiree every day.

Well, it's not that Rebecca doesn't ever surprise me,

but I just think that underneath all the highs and lows,

the ups and downs, you know,

that there's a core of trust.

That's what marriage is.

We belong to each other.

Who is he?

I know, Rebecca, I can tell.

Someone I loved a long time ago.

So it's serious?

- Are you gonna leave Jeffrey? - No.

Not if I can help it.

I love them both.

So you're gonna get your heartbroken twice.

Why?

How do you know that?

Passion clouds your judgment.

When you fall in love, you lose.

I actually have an idea.

Why don't I go to the city with you this weekend

and we can move down one of your bureaus?

No, no, I wouldn't look right in this house.

I think we should start fresh with all new furniture.

- You think? - Yeah.

Well, I could still go with you this weekend

because Chris has plans for the boys and there's no games.

So maybe you should show me your apartment

and we can break it in.

Yeah, yeah, but the truth is.

I'm only stopping by for a minute

because my place is on the market.

I'm staying with my friend Desiree,

and I don't think the two of us can fit on her couch.

Oh, well, I guess I could ask Chris to trade

for another weekend.

Yeah, that's a good idea.

Is my jacket is still in your car?

I don't know.

Here's a french fry rapper from the Middle Ages.

What are you doing with a prescription pad?

I work for a pharmaceutical company, remember?

Yeah.

I'm sure your jacket will turn up somewhere.

Drive carefully.

I will.

Good bye.

Becky!

She'll never get through the weekend without this.

Mike, what are you doing here?

Hi, hi, I knew you would need this.

You left it behind.

Becky, this is amazing.

This is, this is beautiful.

Thanks, but you know,

I have an open house here in just a few minutes

and I've really gotta get organized.

Can you wait for me someplace else?

Well, how about a cup of coffee first?

I've been on the road for about three hours.

Hello?

Rebecca?

Where are you going?

Rebecca? Who are you talking to?

Myself, where are you?

Elms Street, I'll be home in about 10 minutes.

You're on the car phone?

Yeah, what's the matter with you?

You don't sound like yourself.

No, nothing.

I just left the shower running.

You know how I hate to waste water.

Well hop in, I'll join you when I get there.

All right, I'll be right there, bye.

Be right where?

- Who is that? - My boss.

He needs me at the lab.

The temperature control on the culture media

has malfunctioned, I gotta go.

Sounds serious.

Very serious.

Anything I can do to help?

No, no, I...

- Yeah, you wanna help? - Yeah.

You know what you could do?

Run back to Lakeview and look for my file folder on 14C.

- Now? - Now.

Your your file folder on 14C.

Mike, you better get on the road.

I gotta get dressed.

I love watching you get dressed.

I know, not today.

Okay, so your file folder on 14C.

You have any idea where that would be?

All right, all right, all right,

you wait right here, we'll leave together, okay?

Wait right there.

Who's this guy?

That's my husband, my ex-husband, Jeffrey.

Mike, we really gotta go.

Yeah, I'm ready.

Ah, here's my jacket.

Oh yeah.

Why don't you let me take that to the leather cleaners?

I'll bring it back out to you.

You know, it's really not dirty.

I insist.

Let's go, let's go.

- Hello, Dr. Madison. - Hi Greg, how are ya?

Hello, Rebecca.

Mr. Greene.

I haven't seen you around much lately.

Yeah, I've had some business out of town, Mr. Green.

You go directly to Lakeview

and look for those folders on 14C.

I will try to straighten out this mess

and I'll be home as soon as I can.

Where's your ring?

I never wear my rings at the lab.

I have my hands in cultures and everything.

Well, hurry home.

Okay.

Rebecca?

He's gone.

Mr. Green, I didn't get a chance to introduce you

to my brother now, did I?

Darryl's his name.

Yeah, I can see the resemblance.

Yeah, people say that all the time.

Must be the hair thing.

Rebecca, what happened?

- Where were you? - Jeffrey.

I was double parked.

They were gonna tow me away.

I thought you were in the shower.

I was waiting for you, I didn't wanna waste water.

Come on.

Oh, okay.

What are you doing here?

I picked up the books you wanted at the library.

I was hoping I could - Thank you.

Pick you up too.

Oh, thank you.

Not for an hour, I wanna finish this row.

Okay.

I don't wanna make a big deal of it,

but we need to book our honeymoon.

Mike, I don't know if I can take time off.

Ah, you gotta take time off to go on your honeymoon.

You gotta.

I'm gonna go home and make dinner.

You show up hungry.

I love you.

I love you too.

Fine, I'll be in touch with you, thank you.

Do you believe it?

They officially asked me to do the keynote speech.

I knew they would.

Oh, isn't it great?

You'll do a terrific job.

Thank you.

That means you'll be in Miami next weekend?

Do you wanna go with me?

We can stay through the following week.

I'll clear my calendar.

I'd love to, Jeffrey,

but I have midterms next week.

The last train leaves from the city of five.

I'll pick you up at your apartment.

No, no, why don't we meet at the train station at four?

Why leave your car downtown?

Because, because it'll be more romantic that way,

like "Casablanca".

But Ilsa stood Rick up.

I will not stand you up, I promise.

You better not, it's our honeymoon.

Yes, I understand, thank you.

Bye.

That's it, that's the last time I volunteered for anything.

What happened?

Some Pulitzer winners flying in

to give the keynote speech.

But you're going anyway, right?

No, what's the point?

They don't need me.

That's not true.

You have a lot to contribute.

Oh Rebecca, I'd much rather spend my time with you.

This will be perfect.

My calendar's totally clear.

But my job, I've gotta be in Lakeview.

I'll go with you.

I'm already packed.

It'll be great.

Here we go.

Let's not go to Lakeview.

What about your job?

Oh, I'd rather stay right here with you.

We never have to leave the apartment.

In fact, I'm gonna tell the doorman not to let anyone up

no matter what they say.

I like the sound of that.

Let's take the phone off the hook.

Attention, attention,

the Express is now arriving.

You said you'd do the same for me.

What exactly do you want me to do?

Lure Harvey home so Jeffrey has to cover

and keep Harvey home with you as long as possible.

Which one are you trying to kill?

Harvey or Jeff?

Desiree, can you do it?

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

What?

What are you thinking?

Oh, not too much.

Is that your beeper?

Boy, has it been that long

since you've been in the kitchen?

No, that's the microwave.

And this is the toaster and here's the blender

and that's...

My beeper.

What are you, psychic?

It's Harvey at the hospital.

I gotta go in.

- Oh. - Yeah.

Oh.

But don't worry about me.

I've got some work to do at the lab.

Yeah, should I call you there?

No, no, we both concentrate on our work.

I'll see you back home whenever.

Take things to the limit, why don't you?

Are you trying to gimme a heart attack?

Where's your luggage?

I can't go this weekend.

What are you talking about?

I already got the tickets, everything's arranged.

Mike, the lab is in chaos.

The lab can wait.

The lab doesn't own you.

Doesn't love you like your husband.

- I can't. - You can.

- I can't. - You can, it's 48 hours.

You can make it up next week

when the kids are taking midterms.

I don't have any clothes.

Becky, the one thing you don't need

on a honeymoon is clothes.

Sunset Special to Atlantic City

now departing on track number four.

All aboard, please.

I have to make a quick call.

I'll hold the train.

Jeffrey, it's Becky.

I'm gonna go to Lakeview for the weekend.

I'm gonna take the phone off the hook

so I can concentrate, okay?

I gotta go, I'll call you Monday.

I love you, Jeffrey.

Bye.

Jeffrey, it's Becky.

I'm gonna go to Lakeview for the weekend.

Hi, we're the Lewis's

and we have the honeymoon suit booked.

Don't we, Mrs. Lewis?

The honeymoon suit.

I'm surprised you don't gamble with the way you love games.

Oh I play, but only for fun,

definitely not for profit.

I'll steak you if you want.

Oh no, thanks.

Last thing I need is a gambling problem.

I wasn't aware you had any problems.

Everybody's got problems,

things they'd rather not talk about.

Rebecca?

Rebecca?

Angie, it's Jeffrey.

Do you know where Rebecca is?

No, no, she didn't tell me where she was going.

Well, there's a note here.

It says, "See you after the basketball game, luv."

Spelled L-U-V, "Mike."

Do you know who Mike is?

No.

Mike?

Mike who? There's no last name?

No there's not.

He calls her Becky.

On the phone, she called herself Becky.

Gee, I really wish I could help you out,

but I think you better ask her.

Thanks.

- What? - I told him

you'd better talk to you.

If I were you, I'd start planning my defense.

Insanity springs to mind.

Oh my god. Angie, don't do it.

I'll be right there.

What, what is it?

Angie, Gary's having a midlife crisis.

He grabbed the kids and left town.

Now Angie swallowed too many sleeping pills.

I'm afraid she'll finish it off.

It does sound like Angie and Gary.

Ya never know what goes on behind bedroom doors.

I think we better go home.

Are you serious?

She's my very best friend.

She'd do it for me.

But I've gotta see that basketball game.

Oh, that's right.

Mike, these have been two of the happiest days of my life.

And they would be completely perfect

if I could see that game with you tomorrow,

but I just wouldn't feel right about it

if it was anybody but Angie.

It's our honeymoon, for God's sake, Becky.

I'd never forgive myself if she did something crazy.

Bye.

Rebecca?

Jeffrey, what are you doing here?

The question is, where have you been?

I decided I'd get more work done at the lab.

It's funny, I called you there.

They probably told you I wasn't there.

So they did.

That's because most of the week, I'm at Lakeview.

But this weekend, I decided to work at the lab.

Why aren't you sleeping in the new brass bed?

Because I'd never seen it there before.

It's new.

You talked about wanting to spend some more time here.

I thought the least I could do was get us a decent bed.

Rebecca, who's Mike?

He's the graduate student in biology.

I've never taught at the college level,

they had to assign me an assistant.

You never mentioned him before.

It's because I wanted to impress you.

I wanted you to think I was Superwoman

doing everything by myself,

but I'm not Superwoman.

I'm very, very tired.

Why are you asking me so many questions?

There's a man's clothes in the bedroom.

My father's, I couldn't throw them away.

This guy, Mike, left you notes on the refrigerator.

He's got a little crush on me.

I should have had him reassigned,

but he's such a help.

The truth is, I've been kind of flattered

with the extra attention.

You and I stopped leaving each other notes.

Actually, we never left each other notes.

I'm sorry, Rebecca,

I'm really sorry that I've been grilling you.

I feel like I haven't been there for you

and I'm sorry about that too.

It's alright.

I don't want to lose you, Rebecca.

I don't wanna lose you either.

I can't believe he fell for it.

People hear what they wanna hear.

He wants to believe me so badly

that he made himself believe me.

And doesn't that make you feel guilty?

Guilty, scared, and totally confused.

Oh, Angie, you were right, right about everything.

Marrying Mike was unbelievably stupid.

Real love, real marriage is work not fun.

Me and Gary work at it.

You think I'm having fun?

But Angie, if you could,

wouldn't you choose to be loved completely?

Becky, how can either one of those men love you

when they don't even know who you really are?

You don't have a clue what real love is.

How can you say that?

Because I love you enough to tell you the truth.

Your kind of love, it's all on the surface.

Real love is when you're vulnerable.

When you let someone see who you really are

and they love you anyway.

It's too late.

All those lies, they'd both hate me.

Maybe, maybe not.

But Becky, you have to choose.

You have to choose one of them and give 100%.

That's the only way you'll know.

Rebecca, what happened?

You know I can't submit this report.

I'll redo it.

No, I'm afraid you've already taken on too much.

Is it your father's death?

Is that what's wrong?

I'm sorry, I never meant to let you down.

I thought I could handle it.

We all need to reassess sometimes.

Maybe you need some time off.

You could take a leave of absence,

get some perspective.

Yeah, that, that may be best.

Ah, petal blight.

I should have been here sooner.

Ow.

Even if you were here, we wouldn't talk about it.

Oh God, mulched and pruned away.

But we never talked about what went on inside.

Oh, daddy, how can I make a mess of things?

You said, "Honor your first commitment, Becky."

But what about my first love?

Why are you looking at our wedding album?

I wanted to remember how it was

when we first got together.

Look how all of these, I am.

I'm smiling like the joker.

That Pat Riley do makes me look like a pinhead.

Isn't it funny?

We only see ourselves in the picture?

No, I always see you in the picture with me, Rebecca,

always will.

Jeffrey.

I'm gonna ask Mike to move out this afternoon.

I can't keep deceiving him.

You're not gonna tell him the truth?

The truth is, I love him.

Everything else I've been telling him is a lie.

It's poisoned whatever we could have had.

I can't keep lying.

I can't keep hurting him.

I'm gonna make it work with Jeffrey.

Why Jeff?

We've been married seven years.

It's the honorable thing to do.

Not to mention he's got the money.

I'm gonna forget you ever said that.

Oh, come on, don't be so self-righteous.

I know it's politically incorrect to admit

a man's financial status makes any difference,

but I for one would never dump Harvey for some PE teacher

on a motorcycle.

That is not why I'm choosing Jeffrey.

The worst lies are the ones you tell yourself.

You'll see, in a couple of hours,

this will all be over.

I'll have one husband.

Okay.

Desiree, hi, it's Jeffrey.

Tell Harvey I can't make golf, will you?

I wanna spend some time with my wife.

Okay, bye.

Were you lying when you said you love me?

No.

Were you lying every time we made love?

- No. - Then you must be

lying now, right?

This is a joke.

Rebecca, pick up, pick up, pick up.

- No. - It sounds like a joke.

You don't marry somebody and bare your soul to 'em

and then say, sorry, I got on the wrong bus.

I meant to go in the other direction.

It's not like that.

Then how is it?

Tell me how it is.

You owe me a reason, Becky.

All right, all right, you want a reason?

I'll give you a reason.

You and I are like kids playing house.

I can't go on being a kid with you forever.

I've gotta get back to my life.

Go ahead and hate me.

Hate me, I deserve it.

Easier for all of us that way.

I could never hate you.

And I don't know what the hell this is about,

but I know you don't mean what you're saying.

You don't mean it.

You tell me to my face that you don't love me

and I'll walk out the door.

Tell me you don't love me.

I can't.

I'm not gonna lose you again, understand?

I'm not gonna let it happen.

I can't, I can't.

I love you, Becky.

I love you.

Oh, I love you too.

Excuse me, can I help you?

Help me?

Who the hell is this, Rebecca?

Is this Mike, your assistant?

The assistant that has the little crush on you?

You know this gentleman, Becky?

Oh my god, that,

that's his jacket, isn't it?

This is your jacket.

You didn't give this to me.

This is his.

Take your clothes and get the hell outta here.

Actually, mister, I was about to ask you

to do the same thing.

I am her husband.

I want you to get the hell out of this house.

- What are you talking about? - I'm her husband,

this is my wife.

Now get the hell - Maybe Becky forgot

- outta my house. - To mention it pal.

Stop it, stop it!

This is my husband.

This is my other husband.

What?

What the hell are you talking about, Rebecca?

We've been married for seven years.

I know.

Then you couldn't be married to him.

I know,

but I am.

I did.

- I did it a month ago. - I don't believe you.

I wanted to break it off.

That's what I'm doing here.

That's obviously not what you were doing, is it?

Look at you.

It doesn't matter anyway, the hell with it, the whole thing.

The whole thing is just a bunch of lies.

Jeffrey...

Well I may be slow, but I get there eventually.

You never got divorced.

I tried to tell you.

You didn't try hard enough.

You've been going home to him on the weekends.

I didn't mean for this to happen.

Evidently, she actually married him.

I can't believe that she would...

Look, just just do whatever you have to do

to clear this mess up, but no publicity.

Rebecca Cross a bigamist?

You've got your wires crossed, mister.

What newspaper did you say you're with?

Listen, I don't know who you are,

but that's the kind of malicious gossip

that can get you sued.

Oh Rebecca.

We'll go to the scene right away.

Ascertain a crime has been committed.

Your girlfriend made bail.

We've worked out a deal with a district attorney.

You plead guilty to a misdemeanor,

you'll get probation and community service.

That's fair.

Now about the divorce,

Jeffrey's willing to go 50/50.

I don't want anything from Jeffrey.

He insists you take half.

But and this is extremely important,

he doesn't wanna see you again.

He wants you to move out this Friday

while he is at the hospital.

That can be arranged.

Now, you and Mr. Lewis did not have

any community property.

No.

He too would prefer not to interface.

He's moved his things out of your father's house.

Any further communication should be through his lawyer.

I understand.

I'll get back to you, Missus, Rebecca.

Thank you.

Just don't tell Harvey I referred your attorney.

He'll have a cow if they split at practice.

I told you I don't want anything from Jeffrey.

- Mike. - Is it okay if I'm here?

Yeah, sure.

Hi, I...

I've been thinking.

About what?

Well I just didn't wanna leave things the way they were.

Me either.

I'm sorry, it was all my fault.

I ruined everything.

We don't have to get into that, Becky.

I want to.

I love you, Mike.

I'll always love you.

I'll always love you too, Becky.

I always will

but I can't deal with the idea

that you cheated on me

or whatever you'd call it.

Like I told you, I take marriage seriously.

I know.

I accept that.

And I wish things could be different between us, but I...

But we are who we are.

Yeah.

So where will you go?

What will you do?

I like teaching.

I just can't do it here.

Not after all the publicity.

I applied for a job in California.

I have a one year contract.

Great.

Okay, well, I just...

Do you have a forwarding address?

Not yet.

You can check with my probation officer.

I'm required to stay in touch.

Bye, Becky.

Bye, Mike.

Desiree, your intentions are good,

but I'm not gonna let you lock me and Jeffrey in the pantry.

I'm not making this up, Rebecca.

I swear Jeffrey will be at your place at five.

He'd rather you came earlier.

Well, if I get the same message from my attorney,

then maybe I'll believe it.

Thanks for trying, Desiree.

There's just no point.

Isn't love worth fighting for?

Go to your place early, Rebecca, okay?

Thanks for trying Desiree.

Bye.

Didn't Desiree tell you to come early?

I thought it was a trick, I'm sorry.

I'll come back later.

No, wait, wait, wait, Rebecca, please.

Was it something that I did that made you go to him?

No, no, it was me.

It must have been something I,

I should have paid attention.

I don't know, I should have seen the signs I guess.

I'm not sure it would've made any difference.

I'm so stupid, I was so busy working.

I thought that if I was a good doctor,

if I was a successful doctor, that you would love me.

Oh Jeffrey, you never had to earn my love.

Then what did I have to do to get it?

I'm just learning that

love doesn't really have anything to do with

how worthy a person is,

but rather how capable the other person is of loving.

You mean that I should have loved you more?

And I was thinking I didn't love you enough.

I always held back a piece of my heart.

I shut down 'cause I was afraid of getting hurt.

And then I blamed you for what was missing.

Can you forgive me?

Yes, I can forgive you.

I just dunno if I can forget.

But I'm willing to try if you are.

I can't, not now.

I can't go back to the way we were,

half married, half in love.

I'm not blaming you.

I let love turn into habit too

and then I lied about it.

I still love you.

I love you too.

You're a wonderful man, Jeffrey.

I should have treated you more honestly.

Yeah well, I could have done better myself.

But I need to learn who I am by myself

before I can really love anyone.

I'm sorry.

This is absolutely the last box, any room?

Yeah, we can squeeze it in here.

Lot of memories of this old place.

Will you miss it?

I'll take it with me.

You, you I'm gonna miss terribly.

Oh, me too.

Now you'll call as soon as you get there, right?

- I promise. - And drive carefully.

You know how those Californians are.

I guess I'll find out.

Gonna be okay?

I'm gonna be fine.

Love's not through with you, you know?

If there is a next time, I'm gonna get it right.

You watch me.

I have no doubt, Rebecca Cross.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye, Becky.
