Hey, Jim.
You ready for your Christmas present?

We're now the biggest
little ad agency on the West Coast.

[ Man On Phone I We got it back?
Yeah. I pitched. They caught. We closed.

We got the Infinity Airlines account
for the next two years.

They love us.
This is great, Buddy.

I thought he was gonna
give me a corsage.

I thought he was gonna
kiss me right there.

Did he sign? Yeah. I got the
signed contract in front of me.

I"m looking at it.
You want a quote?

He said, “I can't see why
we would ever leave.”

Buddy, this is great.
You did great, man. You did it!

Yeah, no problem.

I’m on the 6:00 flight.

I think I"m flying free for life.

Hey, Buddy, you really came
through on this one. What can I tell you?

That's some Christmas present.
No problem, man.

All right. I'll see you in a bit. Bye-bye.

Is it supposed to snow
like this all night?

We thank you for
your patience this snowy holiday season.

Shit.

O'Hare is hell with runways
and a couple of TCBYs.

LA?
Yeah. Why, does it show?

I-I think I flew out with you
on Tuesday. Ron Wachter.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Buddy Amaral.
Good to see you.

I don't know. I've seen worse. I
think we'll get out of here. Good.

Hey, Buddy.
You made it out.

Janice. I was gonna call you.

Yeah. I was gonna
hold my breath.

Nice talking to you.

So, did we like
your dog and pony show?

Well, what can I say, you know?
Love at first sight.

Mmm. Lucky us.
So, you on the 6:00?

Yes, I am.
Just about to push it back.

Mm-hmm.
No.

Goddamn it.

Well, time for a drink?

Yeah, that's why they called me in
on my day off—

Drinks with the freight.

So, next time, yeah?
I'll call you.

Whatever.

Jo'
I People Chattering |

Whoa. Sorry. Sorry, it's this bag.
I don't know where I am.

It's all right, man.

You got your whole Let's Go Europe thing
happening there.

I understand. Eurail pass, yogurt,

get stoned, see the
Anne Frank house. Sorry?

Sit down. Join us. Have a drink.

This is Mimi.
Hi.

We've known each other for, uh—
What, five minutes?

I think she's bored with me
already.

Thanks. Sure, why not?

The line at the snack bar
is, like, an hour.

Oh, God.

Let me guess.

Uh, English teacher.

Let me guess. Agent.

Advertising.

It's like agenting—
without the heart.

Am I that much of a cliché?

Hey, don't look at me.

I’m just sitting here
eating nuts.

And I’m not a teacher.
I’m a writer.

A writer? That's what I started out at.
Couldn't make a living.

I write for TV.

TV, huh? So that “I"m so much
better than you” look...

I saw on your face
when I said advertising,

I must have— I must have imagined it.

Maybe on /is face
you imagined it.

I got nothing against
advertising. It pays me, I guess.

That's right. It does.
What do you do again?

I told you.
I"m with the National Organ Center.

- I'm in development.
- You gotta love that. She's in organ development.

Can't, uh—

Gee, there's this whole great speech
on here that David Crosby gives, actually,

about, uh, transplants and stuff.

It's pretty— pretty compelling.

I write plays too. That's
what I was doing in Chicago.

A play of mine opened.
Oh. Good for you. Where?

What TV shows? It was
no big deal. It was a little theater.

Oh. I’m here again next week.
| love plays. What’s it called?

No, it closed. It closed.

Um, it was a limited—
It was—

It's called Lilacs in the Dooryard.

I wonder why
we have plays anymore.

Hello? We got movies.
Check a movie out.

Know what I mean?

Hmm. It's not in here.

Yeah.

What’s a dooryard?

It's from a Whitman poem.

“When Lilacs Last
in the Dooryard Bloomed.”

Well, yeah, but—

What is a dooryard?

Oh, look. They just
put sandwiches out.

Oh, great. Okay.

Oh, man. Another line.

I think I'm actually gonna
go check on my flight.

You guys want me to check
yours? Where you headed? Dallas.

Dallas?

Oh, yeah? L.A. Me too.
Okay, I'll just be back in a minute.

Thanks
a lot. All right.

And, uh, thanks.

You don't know
what a dooryard is.

This is what it is. You
have no idea.

This Greg guy
better stick to writing TV.

Did you read this review?

Boy, they don't like something,
they don't keep it a secret, do they?

Ooh. Here he comes.

Hey. We thought
we'd lost you.

So, you're still on for 10:00.
They say it's gonna take off.

Nothing for Dallas yet.
Oh.

Yeah, it'll be tomorrow
at the earliest.

I bet the airport hotels are
swamped. Hey, you know what?

Why don't you take this hotel voucher?
Room's guaranteed.

I"m gonna stick around here and see if
something opens up. What, you took a bump?

You know, two coach tickets
anywhere in the U.S. or Mexico,

plus 200 bucks.

I did this show down in Mexico, and I
promised my kids I'd take them, so—

200 and coach? It's—

I should have haggled?

He's pulling your leg.
You did great.

Tell my wife that— Abby.
Just gave her the good news.

Turns out I was supposed to work the
Christmas tree lot with Scott tomorrow.

I forgot.
It's a father-son Cub Scout thing.

You have any pictures?
Yeah, sure.

Oh, she's pretty.
Isn't she?

Our neighbor Donna and Abby,

they went to the mall and did
these glamour-photo things.

How old are your boys?
Scott's seven, and Joey's four.

Oh, he's so cute.

Say hello.

Oh, Jesus, you're not taping over
the Crosby speech?

Oh, relax. I fast-forwarded.
Crosby's fine. He's there, okay?

Here you go. Say something
for the transplant kids.

Well, uh, save a life
and become a donor.

Do what David Crosby said.
What did David say?

“Uh, sorry I drank. Thanks
for the liver.”

We-We are here,
for one thing,

to celebrate the opening and
the closing— Oh, no, please.

Of the new play, When Lilacs—
something on the dooryard. Right.

And we're here with
the author, Greg— Greg.

Janello.

And I want to say that the critic for the
Chicago Weekly Times is an idiot and an asshole—

- You read the review?
- that wouldn't know a good play if it punched him in the face.

And, Abby, please, forgive
him, huh? Yeah, please.

He did it for you, wherever
you are. I did. I love you.

...boarding Flight
82 to Los Angeles— Ah, that's me.

Well.

I"m gonna go to the men's room.

So, it was great meeting you guys.

Thanks for, you know,
nuts and everything.

Yeah.
Yeah. You too, man.

Nice meeting you. It was
nice hanging out with you guys.

Hey, good luck getting
wherever you're going. You too.

Good night.

See you.

Well, if you ever get to Dallas.

Hey. Greg. Greg.

Hey.

Go sell a Christmas tree for me.

What?
Go ahead, take it.

I want the layover, if you
know what I mean.

You know, Mimi— organ
development, video camera.

Think about it.

This is incredibly
generous. I just wanna say that.

It's a comp. It's free.
Take it. It's fine.

Oh. Oops.

Hey.

Hello, sir.

I really appreciate it. Look,
man, you're doing me a favor.

You're saving my marriage.
You have no idea.

Take care of yourself.
Thanks a lot.

All right, see you.
It was great meeting you.

Your ticket?

You know what?
You just took it.

What?

Still have that, uh, hotel voucher?

- Don't you just love air travel?
- ..Flight 82 to Los Angeles.

Can I get you
something else, sir? Something to drink?

What?

Sorry.

Can I get you something to drink—
some coffee, soda, water?

Oh, no, thanks. I'm fine.

What time is it?

We're here at the O'Hare
Airport Sheraton— Something happened.

Where friends and family of passengers
of Flight 82 have gathered...

to await bulletins
from Infinity Airlines.

Now, once again,
if you are just tuning in,

about an hour and eight minutes
after takeoff

Infinity Flight 82— the last flight
to take off from O'Hare before it closed—

Disappeared from radar screens
over Kansas.

Now this has not been
officially confirmed by Infinity,

but we're hearing reports
from Marysville, Kansas,

that a crash site
indeed has been found.

Hello?

Mom, what is it?
Is something wrong?

Chicago. No, he's coming
back tomorrow. Why—

Oh, what?

Oh, Jesus. They said Infinity?

No, no, no. Okay, he's not
taking that— I spoke to him.

Mother, stop it.

Will you put Les
on the phone, please?

Just put—

Les.

What’s the flight number?

Oh, thank God.
No, he's not on that flight.

He's coming back tomorrow.
He hasn't even left yet.

Tell her— What is she saying?

Because he probably
doesn't know.

He's in an airport hotel
or something.

Listen, I'll-I'll call you as soon
as I know anything. Okay?

I just don't want to tie up
the phone right now.

Okay.

Aviation sources tell us
that in an air disaster of this magnitude,

those aboard the plane— 208
passengers and eight crew members—

Would be unlikely to survive.

Witnesses near the scene,
some 75 miles northwest of Topeka,

report seeing a huge fireball
seconds after impact.

We are looking now
at pictures of the field—

Hey, Janice.
Oh, God, Buddy!

I knew three girls on the crew,
and the copilot was my friend.

Yeah, listen. We got a problem,
okay? The roster's not right.

Oh, Jesus.

You got to get into the system.
Can you do that?

Who was he?

J-A-N-E-L-L-O.
Greg Janello.

Was he on that flight?

Thank you.

Okay. So, um,

Flight 31, that's leaving when?

Okay. Thank you.
Thank you.

Okay. See? Now you can relax.

I just wish he would call me.

Yeah. Well, he's asleep.

You don't get news reports
when you're sleeping.

Come on. Drink this.
Then I'm gonna go home.

And if you need me,
I’m just across the street.

Don't you have anything
better than this to eat?

I’m so hungry.
| want something bad.

Mama?
Hey, what are you doing up?

Can I watch TV?

No, silly-billy.
You can't watch TV.

Now, come on. Let Aunt Donna
tuck you right back in.

It's okay. I'll take care of him.

My big boy.

What time is it in Chicago?

It's 9:00.

Christ, Donna!
Where the hell is he?

I don't know.

There's someone at the door.

Mrs. Janello?

Are you from the airline?

Yes. I'm Kevin Walters,
and this is Ellen Seitz.

Ma'am, the reason that we're—
No. He's taking a later flight.

When's the last time
you spoke to him?

Um, well, last night at about 8:00.

8:00. That's 10:00 p.m. Chicago.

We have conflicting manifests.

One of them— We can't
tell yet if it's accurate or not.

One of them lists
your husband on Flight 82.

No. See, I know he got—
He got bumped.

He's on a later flight.

We have a crisis center at LAX.

That's where the first news will be.

Okay. Just a minute.

Okay, okay.
we’re gonna go together.

And Jack is
gonna watch the children. Donna.

Do not cry.

Please do not cry.
I’m not crying.

Ladies and gentlemen, we
are making our final approach into Los Angeles.

Are you all right?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

So this flight was okay?
Well, it landed.

Yeah, well, that's good.

- How you been?
- Scared. How you been?

Those poor people.
It's terrible.

Mrs. Janello.

Don't touch me!
Don't touch me!

Don't touch me!

- You want a drink?
- Uh, no, thanks.

Infinity's already called. They want
us to help out with damage control—

TV spots, print, you know.

Yeah.

Weather conditions
there improved somewhat this afternoon,

allowing for the removal of several
sections of the downed plane's fuselage—

So you might want
to go easy on the drinking.

I don't want you hungover.

So, first thing tomorrow, okay?

Yeah, take
down the blue ones.

Hey, Dionne,
where's Jim?

No, they're all in a meeting.

Conference room.

Hey, what is this?

What happened to six months
trying to create a consistent,

you know, brand image
in the public eye?

Who okay'd— What is this?
This is dog shit.

Buddy, come on, it's just
giving families numbers to call, okay?

It's not like tomorrow's ad.

Hey, weren't you supposed
to be on that flight?

No, I, uh, stayed over
another night.

What do you mean
tomorrow's ad?

We want to recut the
commercial. That's Todd Exner.

Damage control— Infinity.

Please, people, um— We
don't have a lot of time today.

I'll be brief. I want to
thank you all for your ideas,

but, uh, 'm gonna recommend to the board
that we go with the concept...

that Josh and Sharon
have been working on.

That's Karen actually.

It's based on a wire photo
out of Chicago.

I"m gonna need someone to lock down
the rights on this, pronto.

Is that a joke?

You gotta be kidding me. We're not gonna
run this sentimental, self-serving crap.

Excuse me?

Who cares how Infinity Airlines feel?
Who gives a shit?

They crashed the plane. So what?
Right? Happens all the time.

They'll do an investigation. The F.A A, in 10
months, will say it was a hydraulic line...

or a fuel line or a rudder
or something, right?

I mean, shit happens.
Happens to TWA.

Happens to Delta.
Happens to United.

Why are we gonna
take responsibility for bad luck?

I don't think we want
to hide our heads in the sand.

Plus, you don't originate campaigns.

Okay, Karen? Neither do you, Josh.

We all do, together.

Buddy, this is not about
running the ball around you.

Okay, let's get on this, all right?

I want to fax a copy
to the board by noon.

USA Today, New York Times,
Chicago Tribune, L.A. Times.

Okay, come on. Let's go.

Married her college

and started a family.

While the people of Infinity mourn
the loss of Carol Wilson, flight attendant

the people of Clayton, Missouri, mourn the girl
they grew up with.

Hey, Buddy, Look, I can cover you
for, like, five months of staff meetings,

but not six, okay?

Will you call me, please?

[Announcer Continues I
Carol, who told friends,

“When you fall down,
getup and try again.”

Who said,
“When it's dark outside,

It's up to us
to look for the light.”

Boy, kind of makes you wish
you crash more often, doesn't it?

There are 216 stories
of our friends and family on Flight 82.

This one is Carol's,

And this year's winner for the best
national campaign is...

Tang Weller.

Client— Infinity Air.

The “We Remember” series.

Thanks.

Buddy, please sit down.
Jim, what are you doing?

Sit down. Please. No, Jim.
It's my account. It's my account.

Can't you control this idiot?

Next year. Next year.

Congratulations.

O

This is, uh— This is terrific.
Thank you.

Thank you for this award.
It's great.

Um, boy, it's so heavy.

That's what you're supposed
to say, right?

That and, uh, “Oh, this is what
it looks like up close.”

It's, uh— But thank you.
This is great.

It's good to see all of you.
It really is.

'Cause I've been, uh—

I haven't been around much this year,
and, uh, you know—

You see, I was supposed
to be on that flight.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's ironic, 'cause I could"ve
been one of those people who—

Who believed so much in Infinity Airlines
that they were glad to die...

just so we could show
how well it handled it really.

Isn't that what we're saying?

“Hey, we crashed,
but we're hurting,

and we're humble, and, uh,

we're ready to sell some tickets.”

All right. Thank you.
Thank you very much.

Um, thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you very much.

Shame about the dead people.

It's an ill wind, but it blew us
right onto the map!

Please, come on.

It's fine, Jim. I'm fine.

All right, get off of me.

No more, no more.
Please.

So, is there a party after?

Now that you’re
done with rehab,

what's next—
meetings, counseling?

No, I'm good. I'm fine.
I just want to get back to work.

You know what?
You should take your time.

I mean, we're in good shape.

How could you be in good shape?
I've been gone for 90 days.

Hey, you've been
gone for a year— since the crash—

But who's counting?

You look good though.
A bit, um—

Think it’ll take?

Yeah.
Hmm?

Feeling good?
Good.

Jo' I Crowd Chattering |

What we have here—
two floors, 24,000 square feet.

Employee and client parking.

And within one block,
we have two banks,

a Kinko's
and a couple dozen Starbucks.

Oh. What's the rent?
No, no, no. We buy.

I've already got a deal with the owner. He
wants to get out of the landlord business.

Old guy, not very savvy.

He’ll do it for 1.8
and without a broker.

Wow. Sounds great.

When do I, uh—
When do I get to see it?

That is assuming, you know,
you want my input.

Look, it's gonna be great, Buddy.
You're gonna love it.

Don't fight it because
you were out of the loop.

|— I don't, man.

Jim, come on. It's great. It's fine.
It's gonna be great.

Okay?
Uh-huh.

Just— Just excuse me for a second.

Jo

You sure you want
to do that?

Whoop.

Wrong drink. This is mine.
It's apple juice.

Right.

Uh, you don't want to stare at me
like that in the men's room.

It's sexual harassment.

Are you kidding?
I'm not gay.

No, but I am.
And you are my boss.

At least, officially, so—

Since when?

Since about a week after they
shipped you to Palm Springs.

You had some sort of a breakdown
during an awards ceremony or—

That-That's what I heard.

It wasn't a breakdown, okay?
It was an episode.

What do you do here exactly?

Uh, P.A. Just office floater.

I work with the computers mostly.

Would that have been your first drink
since they released you?

Boy, you got
some nerve, kid.

Relax. I'm a drunk too.

Six years sober.
AA. and N.A.

And we hired you?

Well, I had to sign
a “no episode” clause.

But, yeah.

Look, if you want some help with
your re-entry, I'd be happy to oblige.

Just don't screw up.

There's a lot of really
nice people working here,

and why should they
pay for your shit?

'Cause I own 20% of the company.

And in case you were picking pimples when they
covered this in your rehab, alcoholism is a disease.

Yeah. Yeah. You can catch it
from open bottles.

You're not gonna make me feel guilty
for something I had no control of.

Oh, you're that type. Cool.

When was the last time
anything was your fault?

I don't believe this guy.

Did they do AA. up where
they dried you out?

You know, the whole 12 steps,
all that jazz?

Yeah. Yeah, they tried,
but I don't believe in God.

He’ll be crushed
when he finds out.

You're not gonna
last a week sober.

- Hi. Hello.
- Hi.

I’m sorry. | just had to, uh,
put the dog in the bathroom.

I"m-I'm Abby Janello,
Vinegrove Realty.

Buddy Amaral. Just driving
by, saw your sign.

You know what? Actually,
the dog's not supposed to be here,

but, um, my friend who was
supposed to watch him—

He can't be left alone—
She has a doctor's appointment.

Everything's fine, and then—
involuntary urination.

Well, I hope the doctor
doesn't keep her waiting.

No, the dog.

Oh, right. You're kidding.
That's very funny.

Well-

This is a wonderful property. It's—
Buddy, right? Are you interested?

You want to check it out?
It'll just take a minute.

Sure. Sure.

Um— I Coughs ) Sorry.

The last, uh, person
I showed this to smoked.

Um—

Oh, God. Well, there's been a lot
of interest in this property.

Um, Let me just—

Ah! That's better, right?

Um, okay, well, here is the setup.

And there's my card.

Um, that beeper number's actually—

Ow!

I’m— I’m actually between
beeper numbers at the moment.

So, you know, just ignore that.
Um— Maybe you should let him out.

So, um, what line
of business are you in?

What's his name?

The dog, what's his name?

Fred.

You know what?
He doesn't like people.

And he's not trained
'cause I've only had him a year.

Hey, Fred, it's okay.

Hey, Fred,
Fred, come here.

That's it, Fred. See? I'm great with dogs.

Fred. Rottweilers are great.
I had one when I was a kid.

Fred, good boy.
Here you go. See?

Yeah.

You know what?
Actually, do you mind coming back?

Oh, my God. My boss is—
My boss is coming right now,

and, uh, I think it would be better
if you came at, like, noon.

I’m
sorry. Is something wrong?

I didn't say it was a rottweiler, okay?

I saw you— I
saw you with the dog outside.

That was half an hour ago.

You said you were just—
you were just passing by.

I was. I was passing by
half an hour ago.

I went to a meeting,
and I came back.

| swear to God, if you say one more word,
I’m gonna open this door.

All right, just calm down—

Whoa, all right. Hold on.

All right. You don't understand.
Everything's fine, okay?

Easy. Easy, Fred. Fred!
Get out!

Fred! Fred! No, Fred!

Buddy! Stop it!

Buddy! Buddy, stop it!

I’m just lying here.
I’m not doing anything!

Not you, the dog! Buddy!
The dog?

Come on, Buddy!
Oow! My leg!

Come on.

Let's go. Come on.

You told me
the dog's name was Fred.

Sorry.
Goddamn it.

My God!

I probably pissed him off
calling him Fred.

What was | supposed to do, you know? You can’t go
around telling a client that they’ve got a dog’s name.

Are you all right?

No, I'm not. Look at this.
The jacket, the pants.

I didn't see a license on the dog.
Does the dog have a license?

Oh, my God, please. You don't
understand. I cannot lose this job, okay?

If you cause trouble, I-1—

Please, you've gotta let me take
care of it.

I got him about
a year ago for my boys.

They like him.
It's just—

It's a lot of work, and—
I don't know.

I think they think of him
as a consolation prize for their father.

He, um, divorced me last year.

Well, we-we divorced each other.

Oh.

I didn't do it to bribe them.
I swear.

I just thought that, you know,
it would be a good distraction.

It worked better
on Joey, 'cause he's only five.

Yeah. I was almost married
once myself. A couple of years ago.

Really? What happened?
Oh, I don't know.

Some couples are lucky.
Some aren't.

Yeah. We weren't so lucky.

Greg used 10, uh, write for this TV show
called The Midnighter.

Did you— Do you ever watch that?
It's syndicated.

He wrote some episodes.

I mean— I mean, he still, you know,
writes episodes 'cause he's on staff.

You only took two puffs
of your last one.

That's 'cause I don't really smoke.

Yeah. Well, last year, I started
chewing the gum, you know?

Because my friend Donna,
she was trying to quit smoking,

and she found that the gum
was soothing to the nerves.

So I started chewing it.
Then I got hooked on the gum.

And then I got T.MJ. from the chewing,

so this I just do to get
me off the gum.

I"m 10 days off the gum.

Sounds like a good plan.

Next week,
you'll be on heroin.

Hey, mister.
Hey, mister, it's ready.

See? An hour or less.

Look at that.

Um, listen, when you—
when you get the bill,

you know, for having the pants rewoven,
I want you to send it to me.

There’s my number. I’m serious.
Please. Please. Not a discussion.

Thank you.

Oh.

Thanks.
Sure.

Come on, babe.

Well, it was nice
to meet you, Buddy.

You, uh— You weren't really interested
in seeing any property, were you?

Copies. The sign's still up there.

Then you launched into your
whole spiel. And the dog, and I-

Okay. Okay. I know,
I"m—I"'m sorry.

It was nice to meet you.
Yeah, you too.

Take care.
Bye-bye.

Oh, for God's sake.

What the hell did you eat?

[Horns Blaring |

The thing about heroes—

Yeah, Judy. Tell Karen that the color
on the GMC animatic...

is way, way too hot.

And before we test, I want to go
non announced on the V.O.

You know, get the guy who did
Southwest for us last summer.

You— Listen to this.

...In the tradition
of the great GMC truck—

Okay? Not that.

Come on, guys.

Get it together.

33 I Humming |

Hey, Scott, I said lights out.

I mean it.

Hello.

Uh, hello. Uh,
is this Abby Janello?

Uh, yes. This is—
This is her—she.

Uh, this is Buddy Amaral.

You know, the guy
from the strip mall.

Mm-hmm. Of course. Um, did—
Did you get an estimate on the pants?

No. Don't worry
about the suit.

It's business, right?
Listen.

My firm, Tang Weller, we're, uh—
We're relocating here.

We're trying to get out
of this building.

And our current Realtors
aren't quite cutting It

and I thought, you know,
maybe you could help us out.

Me?

Uh, you know what?
I don't, uh—

We have about
7,000 square feet here.

We need about
three or four times as much.

To buy, not to lease.
Somewhere under two.

Can you do that?
Million. Two-Two million.

Yeah. What do you think?

You know, why me?
You know?

I honestly don't have
the experience.

'Cause you're hungry.
You'll try harder, you know?

I"m hungry because I suck.

Okay? You know what?
Let me put you in touch with Norma,

because she's really the one
that handles—

You know, I would rather
that, uh, you did it.

And could you come by the office
around 10:00 on Monday?

And it'd be great if you had two or
three properties to show us right then.

You know, same area— Venice,
Santa Monica, Marina del Rey.

And there's one property
in particular...

that I'd like you to show us
on Abbott Kinney.

18385—

Uh, hold on one sec.

18385 Abbott Kinney.
The seller's primed.

In fact, he doesn't even
have a broker, so—

Who knows? Maybe you can
book a double commission.

I can give it a
shot, you know, but, uh—

Great I'll call you at your office tomorrow and fax
over the specifics— Say “Thank you.”

What? what we're
looking for, that kind of thing.

Say “Thank
you.” You okay with this?

Uh, yes. Yeah, sure. It's fine.
Thank you.

Great. All right.
Good night.

He wants to give me some business.

I'll bet.

Yeah, yeah. I know. I know.

Well, when do you need it by?

Hi. I'm Abby Janello.
I"m here to see Buddy Amaral.

I’m early. Should I just sit down?

Oh, sorry.

Okay, well, it's on its way.

Abby?
Oh, hi.

Gee, I hope you're not
getting too optimistic.

You know, packing already?

Oh, no. There—

There was a problem with this, uh—
The matte job.

I don't think they were acid-free,
which is key for matting.

You should always make sure
that your mattes are acid-free.

Otherwise, you'll, uh—

You’ll—
Have acid.

Exactly.

Well, I read through the materials
that you faxed over...

about your setup
and your business here.

And, uh—Oh, I-I don't know
much about advertising,

if you don't count Bewitched.

Well, we got our share
of twitching noses here,

but, with our drug-intervention
program, that's on the decline.

Oh, that's very funny.

Did you find any properties?

Yeah, I, uh—I have three,
besides the one that you mentioned.

The owner gave you the listing?

Yeah, but I had to promise him
that I'd get a higher price...

to make up for the commission.

Um, there is an offer for 1.8, but it—
It seems fishy.

Yeah, look, you know what?

When you bring it up to Jim,
just say you found it.

Who's Jim?

Jim's my partner.
Partner and boss, sort of,

Remember Larry Tate?

He doesn't always
like my ideas.

I think if you said it was yours—
Oh, I don't know.

I don't know if I'm so comfortable
with that. No, it's fine. Believe me.

- Ah. You must be—
- Abby Janello, Vinegrove Realty.

You must be Larry.

Jim. I'm pleased to meet you.

Ah. Well, hey,
any friend of Buddy's.

Um, so, you two guys
met at Palm Springs?

No. No, |— Well,
should we get going?

Is your car outside? Listen, I've got
the meeting with the attorney at 1:00,

so we should probably
take two cars.

Okay. Um, I'll drive us,
if that's okay with you.

Uh, sure. Great. I just have some papers
in the car that I should—

Oh, we can just meet
you right out front? Okay.

Don't mention Palm Springs.

It's supposed to be anonymous.
Oh, right. Oh, right.

And— And you made a Larry
Tate crack before I came in.

No.

Half an hour maybe.
She's got one more space to show me.

So I should be there before—

Oh, shit.

No. Not this building.

Buddy. Can I speak with you?

I do have other—

This is the building.
Oh, you think so?

No, no. This is the building—
the one I want.

The photos?
Well, I gave her the specs.

I guess there's only so much inventory
on the market. I"m gonna kill him.

I mean, we had a deal, and now
he goes and gets himself a broker.

Look, we can't let her show us this. We got
to get out of here before the broker shows up.

Hey, Abby, when's the
seller's broker showing up?

Um, I"m—I"m the seller's broker.
It's my listing.

Look, I understand
your disappointment,

but the seller was bound
to get some advice.

No one would let him
do a deal of that size...

without a broker
or a lawyer or someone.

Thank you. And how did
he happen to, uh, find you?

Um, I approached him.

Look, he's gonna list it 2.1,
and that's still under market.

He was gonna sell it
to me for 1.8.

Well, say, you go in at 1.9.
What were you putting down?

We were thinking of 30% of 1.8
at a fixed 8 1/2.

You’d be tying up a lot of cash
for a commercial property.

I say you go in at 20, 25 at the most
and free up some of that cash.

30% of 1.8 is what? 540K.

I say you go in at 20%— 1.9.

That's 380K.

Meaning we finance 1.520 at 7 3/4,

and I can source that
cheaper for you.

That's, um— 10,880 a month.

That's a $1,200 difference.
You can pass that on easy.

I don't know.

Are you, uh, waiting for me to offer
to kick in some commission?

Well, this is an easy deal
for you.

It's not like you had to knock
around for six months to find it.

Okay. One point.

That's a check for 20K at escrow.

But that's it, you know,
because—

He can get 2.1 if he waits
even two months, but—

You know, whatever
you want to do, so—

Well, thank you for your time.

All right, all right.

Bring it by my office,
and, uh, I'll sign it.

Thank you. Yes, I will.
Mm-hmm.

I did it. Wow.

How long you been doing this?

Oh, my God.

I don't even know where the
words came from.

I do feel terrible
about lying though.

Oh, you didn't lie. You just
didn't tell the whole truth.

Yeah, well, like I tell my kids,
that's called lying.

My God.

Norma is gonna die.

This is so out of my league.

I always got the feeling
that she gave me the job out of pity.

You know, my divorce and—

Well, maybe this will get you
off strip mall patrol.

God, wouldn't that be great?

Um, so, why did he think that we,
uh, met in Palm Springs?

Is he mixing me up
with a girlfriend or something?

Mmm. I don't know.

I might have told him
you were a friend of a friend.

Jim doesn't like Realtors.

I"m the salesman, you know? He
doesn't like salesmen. I like salesmen.

Greg had a
thing against salesmen too.

He wouldn't let Scott sell
chocolate bars for the school...

'cause he didn't want his kids
selling anything.

I mean, he still doesn't.

And now I am. It's funny.

Okay, so, um, do you just want me
to write this up here, or—

Yeah, that's fine.

Okay.

Um, thank you. I owe you.

Don't worry about it.

Take care. Okay.

Yeah. Thanks.

Yeah. Thanks.

Well, we're gonna have trouble
from Legal on eight.

You know what? Forget it.

Ship it. Let them tell us.

There you go. Thanks.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

Uh—

Well, I was just
in the area, I guess.

Wow. It looks like
the move's on track.

Yeah. Yeah. It's, uh,
this weekend.

You need Jim?

Um, no, I just, uh—

Um, I just wanted
to— What?

Well, I wanted to thank you.

It's, uh—
I, uh—

Well, I got two tickets for the Dodgers.

I know you like them
because I saw your coffee mug,.

They're for Friday.

I thought we could,
you know, go or—

If you want,
or-or you could just have them.

Both, if you're— if you're—
if you're seeing—

I mean, if you have a friend
who likes them.

Well, that's really nice.
I— I, um— Thank you.

Oh, shit. Friday.

I have a— a business dinner. These
clients are coming down from San Francisco.

No, that's been moved
to Monday, remember?

Is it?
Mm-hmm.

And it's a lunch.

Well, great.
The Dodgers.

Excuse me,
I think this is my seat.

Oh, hi.

Um, I think that's back there.

Someone's sitting here.
I'm sorry.

o/ didn't hear you leave ./

Yeah.

That was rude of me.
I should have taken longer.

I don't think I've ever bought a woman
a grilled-cheese sandwich before.

Well, that's what my boys
always order.

And after a while, you know,
you kind of get hooked on them.

There's probably some kind of
gum for that too, right?

J I'll do what I want—

You want to sit
for a while?

Yeah, sure.

Is this your car? No.

This is Greg's, my— my ex.

Mine's in the shop, so—

Sittin' in cars at the diner.

I never did that.
Did you?

No. No diners.

Bars.

I had a baby in a car.

Yeah?
Joey.

I mean, not actually in the car.
We made it to the E.R., but—

Not this car.

It was a Datsun.
Remember those?

I had it in school.

I was— Oh.
Well, Greg was driving.

And I just knew
I was gonna have this baby,

and he would not pull over.

So I got it into my mind that, you know, I
didn't want to have the baby in the front seat.

You know, like, it wasn't safe.

So I tried to climb
into the backseat.

And I broke his nose
with my foot.

Oh, my God.

I had this contraction and— pow.

I just got him right there.

And he could not drive.
I mean, the blood was pouring.

So I had to drive the rest
of the way to the hospital—

Screaming and crying and driving.

And he had a beautiful nose.

I mean, you know, a good face.
Handsome, but...

a beautiful nose.

That's all I could think about
the whole time I was delivering.

“Oh, I ruined his nose.”

And later, you know— He
didn't even know he did this, but—

When we'd have a fight, you know,
he'd kind of touch his nose like—

You know, like Danny Kaye in White
Christmas with the arm,

Like, “You owe me, pal.”

Oh, God, it used
to make me so mad.

What?

I don't know how women
get so brave. That's all.

You think that's brave?
I was so scared.

God, I'm always so scared.

It's not brave if you're not scared.

Well—

You have a good face too.

Okay.

Well-

Um, thank you.

Thanks for the tickets.
No problem.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

Hey, how's it goin'?

What do you think?

It's fine.

You get a window. I get to work
for a guy who gets a window.

What are you doing in here
already? It's not even 8:00.

I'm early.

How'd the date go
with the Realtor?

It was fine, I guess.

Fine, huh?

I thought she was nice.
What happened?

What is this, Gay Confidant Day?

Want me to hang on while you
go get a blow-dryer?

Hey, | don’t give a shit.
I’m just making conversation.

Well, it went fine,
you know.

I'm not interested, so, uh, if
she calls, just, uh, tell her I'm out,

or tell her I’m busy
and take a message...

and tell her
I'll get back to her, okay?

And if she calls back?

Just keep taking messages.
She'll get the point.

You know, that's what I love
about working for you.

It's a total freedom
from hero-worship.

It's very refreshing.

Look, you're the client.
That's not what I'm saying.

I’m just saying it’s not in sync
with your brand positioning.

It's Jim on three. Urgent.

Right. Oh—
Can I call you right back?

All right, thanks. Bye.
What’s up, Jim?

No, it's Abby.

It's— It's Abby Janello.
H-Hi.,

Hey. I just— I thought
you were somebody else.

Um, how are you?
I, uh—

I had a really good time
the other night.

Really?

Um, listen, I"m just
across the street,

and I've got all these extra sets of
keys for the doors and everything,

and I thought
maybe I could, um,

you know, buy you and Jim
a drink to celebrate moving in.

Jim's in a meeting.
Uh, and |- I don't drink.

Um—
Oh.

Um, uh, okay.
I can just, uh, mail them.

How about 10 minutes?

Okay. Great.

I'll see you there.

You know what, Seth?
That's not funny.

Okay? You don't know
what you're messing with.

Hey.

I ordered you a club soda.
I hope that's okay.

Yeah. That's fine.

You know, my husband
didn't drink either.

Not even champagne
at our wedding.

I used to drink.
I just don't anymore.

Oh.

AA.?

Yeah. Six months.

Oh. Well, that's great.

I had an uncle
who was in AA,

and he was, like,
a really bad drunk.

So was I.

I"m sorry. I don't know
why I said that.

The drinking wasn't the worst part.

It was the thinking
I was such hot stuff.

I've always been
one of those people.

Born salesman. A closer.
A people person.

Ew.

But I wasn't,
not by a long shot.

It's like how everybody thinks that they
have a good sense of humor...

or good taste.

Or they're a good driver.

I'd be driving along, and I'd, uh,
happen to look up in the rearview mirror.

And there'd be all these...

bloody people and crashed cars
in the street,

and I'd think, “Jesus, there's a lot
of bad drivers in this neighborhood.”

That was me with people.

I'd like to, uh—

I'd like to tell you
that I've wised up.

But I don't know.

Yeah.

I get it.

You're bad
with relationships.

And as a person who's standing
in the road ahead of you, thanks.

I'll be, uh, getting on
the sidewalk now.

Abby— No. You
know, it's okay. |-

I took a shot, you know?

I think
I misread stuff, and...

I’m sorry.

I’m just really grateful to you for
throwing me the sale and everything.

Bye.

Abby. Abby.

Abby, wait a second, all
right? I am not divorced, Buddy.

My husband died
a little over a year ago,

and I am sorry that I wasn't honest
with you about it, but you know what?

It's too soon for me, and it
is way too soon for my boys,

so just leave me alone.

I’m sorry.

Everybody's sorry.

And nobody's to blame,
except, you know,

sometimes I think exactly
the opposite is true.

God. Do you have a cigarette?

No. Abby, |-

I’m sorry that I lied to you,

but I liked thinking of
me and Greg as divorced.

Everybody's divorced.

It feels like
a decision we made...

instead of fate
or bad luck or chance.

Plane crash.

Come on, please. Let's just go
back inside and start over, okay?

Don't be nice to me.
Everybody is nice to widows.

You were the first
person in over a year...

who was nice to me
who didn't know.

Listen, I was wrong in there.

I just didn't want you
to think I was this great guy.

I wanted to tell you before
you found out for yourself.

I got scared.

What is it that you want, Buddy?

Your company.

The pleasure of your company.

I want your input
on video rentals.

I stand there for hours,
and I can't pick anything out.

I want someone
to say good night to,

a last call of the day.

I don't have a last call
of the day. Do you?

Don't feel sorry for me.

I’m happy.

I’m widow happy.
I’'m widow-with-two-kids happy.

If you grade on a curve,
I’m happy.

I don't feel sorry for you.

Okay?

Oh. Oh, well.

Okay, then nothing
with knives, snakes,

or women that have to go
undercover as hookers.

The videos.

Okay.

Don't worry. I don't
think he's bored. Do you?

Honey, it's a cookout.

Of course he's bored. Aren't you?
So, how far's he gone?

Nowhere.
You know, he's nice.

It's no big deal.
Mm-hmm.

It's just that, um, you know
when you go to a table,

and a guy does that, like, halfway
thing, like he's going to stand up?

He does that.
I love when guys do that.

Mom, can I be excused?

Yes, you may be excused.
Wait. Wait a minute.

CD-Rom, not AOL, okay?
It costs money.

Hey, do you
have Where's Waldo?

I'm eight, okay?

Come on, Joey.

Mama?

It's okay. You can take that in.
Just don't put the drink on the desk.

Okay.

I knew I shouldn't have
brought up Waldo.

- Well, he is eight. I mean—
- By the way.

Hey, here, let me help you.

Oh, no, no.
I"m going to do it later.

Get ready for
takeoff

Hey, Scott.
What are you doing?

We're losing
altitude. Losing.

Pull up! Pull up!

Yeah? Is it hard?

I’m done.
You can play.

Get ready for takeoff

We're losing altitude.

Pull up! Pull up!

Sorry.

He's still, uh, very angry.

Thanks. It's okay.

He's angry at me.

He's angry at Greg.
He's angry at Joey.

Sorry.

And he's scared to fly.

You know, I was thinking
of maybe taking them...

on a little flying trip
somewhere close,

so that if they can't make it,
I can rent a car and drive back.

Sounds good.
Could work.

That's a nice computer.

Yeah.

Greg got it
to celebrate his play.

He had this play on
in Chicago.

That's why he was there.

Lilacs in the Dooryard.

Not the title I voted for.

I mean, who knows what a
dooryard is anyway?

It's weird.

He wasn't even supposed
to be on that flight.

Even the paperwork
was all wrong, you know?

Which really made me crazy,
because it got me thinking.

Like, if I was, you know, getting the
boys ready to put them on the bus,

and Donna would say, “Oh, I'm going
down there. You know, I'll just take them.”

And I would think—

“Well, which one's
supposed to crash?”

You know? Do I send them with
Donna, or do I put them on the bus?

Which one is doomed?

Or is the whole thing
going to happen tomorrow?

It's crazy.

Abby—

What?

Do you have a good lawyer?

For your case
against the airline.

Uh, I don't really know.

| think so. You know, I’m just sort
of in with the group of other families.

I have his card right here
if you want to see it.

I've got a meeting
with him on Thursday.

Yeah.

Well-

What I can do, if you like,
is have our lawyers call around...

and ask some questions
about him.

For free.

Oh, I see. You're after
my money now. Is that it?

Yeah. Well, not just the money—
what the money can buy.

Hey, Scott.

Uh, thank you very much.

Yeah, thanks. Thanks for
coming by. It's great to see you.

I'll let myself out, okay?
Okay.

Mm-hmm.

See you, pal.

Okay, coming.

Hi.

I"m sorry. I just— I didn't know
where to go, and Donna has the kids.

That's fine. I'm glad I was here
when you called. Comeonin.

Do you want some dinner
or a drink or—

Here. Sit down.

I settled.

I saw my lawyer today,
and I settled.

Okay.

It's not okay.

It's like saying, you know,
I"m fine. I'm over it.

That's what everybody
wants me to feel anyway.

Even Donna,
who's been so good.

Or my mother.

“Only the plane crashed, sweetie.
You got to bounce.”

That was her take on it.

So that's what I've been doing—
bouncing.

It's just like crashing, except you get
to do it over and over again.

Yeah. I know
what you mean.

I mean, I can imagine
how that might feel.

It's the way
they talk about him—

like he's this saint.

And I don't even recognize
who they're talking about anymore.

It's not that he wasn't
a really good man, you know?

He was. He was
a really good man.

But he wasn't perfect.

He was a little tight with money,
for one thing.

I want to blame him...

or to be angry at him
or whatever, because...

when I don't,

he gets really far away.

God.

And I did love him, you know?
I really did love him.

You sure you don't want me to
drive you home? At least follow you?

No. I'm fine.

Listen, I know
what you're thinking.

I’m this widow and I’'ve got these
two kids and I’m probably not ready.

At least, that's what
I think myself half the time.

So— You're off the hook, okay?

You don't have to say
another word.

Can I see you this weekend?

No.

No. This weekend is our little
test trip down to Palm Springs.

Oh, right.

We had to drive to the funeral
because Scott wouldn't get on the plane.

And I really
don't want my kids...

to spend the rest of their lives
afraid to fly.

But Monday maybe.
Yeah.

Or I could come
with you guys.

Uh— I wouldn't mention
Waldo.

I did promise them
the water park.

What? They're afraid of
water now too?

Come on. It'll be fun.
Okay.

It's— It's a big plane, right?

I think so.

'Cause those would be
better for the kids.

The captain let you
go up there and everything.

Whatever.

That was all right,
huh, guys?

There was a few bumps,
but I was, you know—

Sir, do we need to
discuss a little attitude adjustment...

before we get
to the water park?

- Come on.
- What do you think?

on this dumb ride anyway.

We want snow cones

/. Ooh, ooh, ooh .,

Hey, boys.

Yeah?

You ready?

Yep. Where is it, Scott?
Oh. Right down here.

I want to do it.
Okay.

Okay. Close your eyes
and pick one.

What is this?

Oh, come on, just do it.
we'll tell you later.

You can open your eyes now.

Okay, now read it.

We couldn't decide on a name,
so it's up to you.

Uh, Darth.

Yes! That was mine.
That was mine.

It was my second choice, okay?

The boys don't think you should have
the same name as the dog.

Oh.

That's good, because
that's a good name for him—

Darth— because the dog's black,
and he kind of looks like Vader.

No. That's your new name.

Hey, seat belts, please.

What are you, uh, doing tomorrow?

You tell me.

There's just something
that I wanted to, uh, tell you...

which is sort of hard to say.

So I wanted to just tell you now...

that I was going
to tell you, so that, uh,

tomorrow, you'd hold me to it.

You know, it's probably nothing.
It's not a— You know—

It's just something I want
to tell you. Then tell me now.

No, I'll tell you tomorrow.
It's, you know—

I mean—

You just got
to make me tell you.

Oh, great. Well,
this will be a fun 24 hours.

It's nothing.
Relax. It's fine. You know.

All right. Well, whatever
it is, thank you for today.

It's the least I could do.

Can I help you?

Hi.

Hi.

Are you—
Are you Mrs. Janello?

Yes.

Now that I"m here,
I wish I'd just mailed this.

Hi. "m Mimi Prager.

Hello.

Here.

Would you like
to come in?

And I hadn't
looked at it since then,

but |- I was looking up this
speech I'd given, and there it was.

I remembered the review for his play
was in the Chicago paper,

so I checked their archives, and—

You probably don't even
want to see it.

You know, I just— I thought
since I had this business trip—

Thank you.

I’m sorry.

He seemed like
a very nice man.

Oh! Uncultured creatures!

Hey, Joey, Scott.
Hi, Mr. Amaral.

What's going on? Shh.

Where's your mom? She's in the
bathroom. She's been in since Rosie.

Boy. Who was on Rosie?
I don't know.

Abby?

Abby?

You all right?

I'll be out in a minute.
Okay.

Give me that! Guys. Hey, Scott.

Hey. Hey, stop.
Joey, Scott.

Joey, Scott, your mom's
trying to relax, okay?

Relax. Watch TV.
What do you want to watch?

- I want to watch my video.
- All right, great.

Scott. Scott.

Scott, stop it.
Scott, don't hit your brother, okay?

He bit me. Well, he's
younger than you.

Joey.

Joey, apologize, all right? Say
you're sorry. Can you do that for me?

Say you're sorry.
That's Dad.

...to celebrate the
opening and the closing, sadly,

of the new play, Lilacs—
something on your dooryard.

That's you.
We're here with the author tonight—

Greg.

- Greg.
- Janello.

And I would like to say, for
one thing, that the critic for the Chicago—

Hey, That's
my dad! I want to see that.

You knew him?
When was that taken?

Uh—

Boys.

Go to your room
until I call you.

But that was Dad.

Scott, please.

Who gave this to you?

Mimi. Mimi Prager.

Remember her?
Abby.

Abby, I said I was gonna
tell you something.

Remember I said I had
something to tell you?

That's what I was gonna
tell you. That's a lie.

Another lie.

He took my place,
and I felt responsible.

And I wanted to make sure
you were okay— you and your kids.

Who the hell
do you think you are?

God?

Some goddamn angel come to make
sure the victims are alive and well?

You lied to me.

I never expected
to fall in love with you.

Oh, my God.
You're a liar.

No. You know that's true.

I want you
out of this house.

I don't want
to see you again.

I don't want you to call.

I don't want to hear your
voice on my machine,

Look, you have to let me explain.

You son of a bitch.
You lied to me. Get out.

What's wrong, Mom?

Do you want me to
say what you did in front of them?

Because I will do almost
anything to get you out of here.

You better go, Mr. Amaral.

Yeah, I think so too, Scott.

I think you're right.

I"m going to go.

I'll call you.

Joey, come out here.

I want you to say
good-bye to them.

I don't want another guy just
disappearing from their lives.

Abby, please.

Mr. Amaral won’t be
coming around anymore.

Abby—

You can leave, or you can
say good-bye and leave.

Uh,

I got to go away for a while.

Why?

Because |- I kept a secret
from your mom.

You're not supposed
to tell a secret.

Well, then it wasn't a secret.

It was just—

I just didn't want to tell her.

Why can't you say
you're sorry?

I am sorry.

Don't worry about it, Joey.

All right? Come on.

Come on.

Look, you have
to let me call you.

Get out...

before I tell them
who you are.

Hi, you've called the Janello house.

You can leave a—
Please leave us a message.

Thanks. Bye.

Hey, Scott.

Uh, she's not home.

And even if she was—

She doesn't want to see me.

Nope.

You know, Scott, I'd understand
it if you were pretty mad at me too.

It's okay.

All right, pal.
I'll see you.

Did he say anything
about Christmas trees?

What?

My dad.

He was supposed to sell
Christmas trees with me the next day,

and maybe that was why
he got back on the plane.

And he did, and it crashed, so—

I was just wondering
if he said anything about that.

Nah. He didn't
mention that to me.

He just said, you know, he—
He said he just wanted to get home.

Everybody at the airport kind of
just wants to get home. That's all.

Yeah, because he didn't need
to sell those trees with me.

I didn't even want to.

Everyone has fake ones
anyway.

Yeah, no, he just— He said
he wanted to get home to work.

I remember him saying
something about work,

but nothing about any trees.
I’m sure of that.

Do you think
I should tell my mom?

Because...

maybe she thinks it's because
she yelled at him over the tree thing.

You know, Scott, I don't think
your mom will believe me.

But you believe me, right?

Yeah.

Yeah. That's good.

Could you help me with these?

Donna, he should've told me.

Of course.
Lying like that is terrible.

It's like telling people
you're divorced when you're not...

or that you found a property for your
biggest client on your own without help.

Look, he just wanted
to see if you guys were okay.

Yes, but then he should've
left us alone.

Yeah. I keep forgetting.
Who bought who the Dodger tickets?

Look, guys screw up.
That's what they do.

It's in their manual right after “Love
your grill,” “Leave socks on floor.”

But if you can't forgive him,
you can't.

It's not that I can't forgive Aim.

Do you know how I spent
the night after he left?

Trying to figure out if I was glad
that he didn't get on that plane.

If I say I'm glad he's alive,
I'm glad he found me that day,

or if I lie and I say I'm not,

either way, it feels like I"m doing
something wrong to someone |-

To both of them—
to him and Greg.

Being with him
is like making a choice.

You don't have that choice, Abby.

You have other choices.

It just can't be him. That's all.

Okay, then, fine,
but whether it's Buddy...

or someone else
a year from now,

whoever you choose
will be there because Greg isn't.

That's just how it is.

Hey, Jim.

Seth said
you wanted to see me.

How's it going, Frank?
What's up?

Are we being sued or something? Infinity
Airlines, according to its marketing V.P.,

is deciding today whether our
services will be required in the future.

What? Why?

Apparently, they received
some information...

that you coerced an Infinity employee
to illegally board a passenger...

under your name
onto Flight 82.

Yeah. I mean, we dealt with
this a year ago after the crash.

It was a computer problem
or something.

They have a correct version
of the roster in their system.

Yes, they do.

Uh, do you know
a Janice Guerrero?

She was fired six weeks after the accident
for altering the roster—

Removing your name, in fact,
and adding the name of a Greg—

What does this have to do
with our situation with Infinity?

The suit is being brought against
Infinity by the victims' families.

They want to prove that the
airline didn't follow procedures—

Even technicalities.

So Infinity wants to make sure
that if you get called to testify,

that you'll tell the court
what you told us today—

That you did not persuade this
gate attendant to board someone else.

Is this woman going to testify?

Maybe. But she's not
the most credible witness.

She's a bitter ex-employee,
ax to grind.

Infinity's position is that the roster
screwup is @ harmless computer glitch.

It's no big deal. They just want to
know if you have a problem with that.

Mr. Amaral?

For those of you Just joining us, it
is day seven of the civil trial against Infinity.

And believe me, tensions which have been
running high since the trial began...

are likely to reach their peak today.

The plaintiffs in this case are
the survivors of three passengers—

Two of whom, ironically, were seated just
across the aisle from each other in seats 18—

And here comes today's
principal witness.

Her testimony about
the flagrant disregard...

for safety procedures
was extremely damaging.

We're gonna move over and just
see if we can get a word with her.

Uh, Ms. Guerrero?

Ms. Guerrero, this is Stan Peters.

Do you feel
that your testimony was—

Quick question.
Ms. Guerrero.

Please. Please. Stand back. No comment. Thank you very much.

Hey, I"m gonna go get the kids. You
want to come along? we'll grab some dinner.

No, no. I'm okay.
I"m fine. Thanks.

Okay. I'll be back.

Mr. Amaral,
Yes.

You were scheduled to be a
passenger on Flight 82, were you not?

Yes, that's right

In fact, when the plane
went down,

your name was on the first list
of passengers, was it not?

Uh, that is correct.

But, instead, a Mr. Greg Janello
was in your seat. Isn't that correct?

I believe so, yes.
You believe so?

Uh—

Yes, he was in my seat.

Do you know how Mr. Janello happened
to be on that plane occupying your seat?

No. I don't know.

Excuse me?

I"m— I"m— I'm just very confused about
a lot of things that happened that day.

I don't—

Well, you're not confused about having just
taken an oath to tell the truth, are you?

Objection, Your Honor.

I'll rephrase, Your Honor.

Mr. Amaral, did you have a
conversation that night with Mr. Janello?

Mr. Mandel, I had a lot of conversations
with a lot of people.

You know, everything was delayed,

and |- |- I don't remember every—

This is Mr. Janello.

Did you have a conversation
with this man?

Yes, I did.

And did you offer to switch
boarding passes with him?

No, I did not.
No?

I just gave him mine.
I didn't take his.

And when Ms. Guerrero
recognized you at the gate?

Yeah, I talked her into it.

By telling her if they didn't board
you or someone claiming to be you,

they'd have to wait while they took
your luggage out of the hold.

Basically, yeah.

Are you aware that airlines
have to deplane the luggage...

of passengers who don't make the
flight as an anti terrorism measure?

Yes. It's, uh, so that somebody
doesn't check a bomb...

and then not get on the plane.

Mm-hmm.

So this employee of Infinity disregarded a safety
measure due to her desire to make the schedule.

Objection. Argumentative.

Sustained.

You know, she was just trying
to do me a favor. It wasn’t—

No one's blaming you,
Mr. Amaral.

It wasn't your job
to make sure...

the airline followed their own
safety procedures, now, was it?

He was scared.

Excuse me?

I didn't remember that
until now.

Not scared, just nervous,

Not a good flyer.

He told me he used to be braver
when he was like me—

By himself, no family.

No, uh, people in his wallet.

He had a wife now, two kids.

Two boys.

He knew that
if something happened to him,

if he didn't come home, that wasn't
something that anybody could make up for.

If— If you tried, I mean.

Only somebody who—

Only somebody who didn't
understand anything would try.

I didn't know that then.

I just thought,

“Here. It's a ticket.
It's free.

Take it. You'll be fine.”

And he did.

And he died.

So that's what I got to carry.

I'd just like to say that I'm sorry.

You're excused, Mr. Amaral.

Am I... excused?

Infinity Airlines
today settled the last of the lawsuits...

that have gone to trial as a result
of the 1999 crash in Kansas...

in which the 216 people
aboard Flight 82 lost their lives.

Hey, Seth.

Hey.

Word is you pretty much
single-handedly sank Infinity.

Yeah.

I noticed a chill on the way in.

Yeah? Well, bundle up, Nanook.
Jim wants to see you.

Could you do me a favor and type
this up for me, please? Mm-hmm.

I thought Jim's speech was nice.

Yeah, but everyone else— whew!

I know. I don't think I've ever been
to a farewell party where the theme was relief.

Well, I like to leave a place
happier than when I found it.

They were happy, all right. I was
dodging cartwheels all afternoon.

So, are you gonna find a new job,
or are you gonna go out on your own?

I stole you plenty
of office supplies.

Yeah. I don't know.

I"m kind of all “sold” out,
you know what I mean?

I told Jim you can
handle the transition.

He said he was going to
move you into account traffic.

He came up with that
all on his own? Roughly.

Means you get
your own assistant.

Is this you asking me
for the job?

You want to catch
an AA. meeting tonight?

Yeah. Uh, there's the one—

Hey.

Hey.

Uh,

I— I need to get back to work and
take down the “Good Riddance” banners.

We love the new building—
lots of space.

Even more after today.

I resigned...

about three minutes before
Jim was going to fire me.

You're moving.

Yeah. I can't afford
this place anymore.

How are the boys?

They're good.

Scott told me that
you came to see him,

and he told me
what you said.

Well, it wasn't Scott's fault.

Or yours.

Or even mine, which is something
that I thought for a really long time.

And you really helped me see
that, and I wanted to tell you, so—

Can you just stay for,
like, a few more minutes?

Please?

You know what Greg said
that last night he called?

That he had met some
really nice people in the bar.

And I think he was right.

Abby, wait.

What?

Should I sell this place
right away or, uh,

lease it out
until the market peaks?

I was really hoping you could
help me handle that.

Why me? I mean, I really
don't have the experience.

Yes, you do.

Can we try?

I know you're scared, Abby.

I am too.

It's not brave
if you're not scared.

You’d better not be waiting for
me to kick In any commission.

Deal.

Come on. I'll show you how
it looks from the beach, okay?
