you

Morning, sir. How's it going,
sweetheart? Can I help you?

Long as your computer plays bingo.

Cutler with a C, Steve.

Bingo. Parent Comstock check in yet?

You might want to try a house rent, sir.

Sure.

Maybe I'll see you tonight at the ball,
Cinderella.

Sorry, my glass slippers are being re
-healed.

What was that all about?

He thinks he's Prince Charming.

I think he's still a bullfrog.

Mr. McDermott?

Lauren Webb.

Oh, Comstock's regional head.

My reputation precedes me. You're doing
a marvelous job. Mr. Comstock will be

thrilled. Well, I wish I could take the
credit, but I can't. Why not?

Miss Francis is my assistant. She's
sought everything.

That's what happens when you learn to
delegate authority.

Tell me about it. You know, I took a
management seminar last weekend.

Everything's running so smoothly now.

It's a little disconcerting. Something
like that, yeah.

Oh, you sure there's nothing I can do to
help?

I'm great at blowing up balloons.

Well, so am I, but it looks like Miss
Francis beat us to the punch.

Of course, she always leaves the hard
part for me.

Watch this.

Let him rip.

Okay.

Jean, look at the nice lady.

Cute little guy, isn't he?

Hi, Mark Danning. Welcome to the St.
Gregory.

Hi. Is there something we can do for
you?

I got a room reserved.

Cassie Ray?

It's all paid for, isn't it?

Uh,

yes, it is.

I'll get you a bellman.

No need for that.

I can manage.

Here, let me give you a hand. It's a big
hotel.

Wouldn't want you guys getting lost.

I'll show you the way.

In light of our plans for the current
fiscal year, we look forward to hearing

from you.

I'm sorry.

I didn't realize you were still working.
We're just finishing.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely, yours, et cetera, et cetera,
et cetera.

I can't find the wallet. Well, it's in
your top coat.

If you need me, I'll be in Mr.
Comstock's suite.

About to make wild, passionate love.

Oh, no wonder your patients adore you.
Well, they don't have you to come home

every night.

I'm running late.

You're setting me off to the shower?

Keep your fingers crossed.

Is this your first time in San
Francisco?

Mark? Oh, good day.

We want the little guy falling out of
bed. And I brought up a bottle warmer,

too. He's not on a bottle.

I give him my own.

Well, nothing like the real stuff.

Do you need anything else?

We're okay, thanks.

Housekeeping will make up the crib.

Would you like a sandwich?

Ate on the bus, but I appreciate, you
know, you're asking.

If you need me for anything at all, you
know where to call, okay?

Mark?

Yeah. Thanks.

No problem.

We'll see you two later.

Yes, this is Mr. McClain in 417.

Has a Miss Kathy Ray checked in yet?

Thanks a lot.

20 minutes ago.

Well, she's right on time.

Looks great.

There is nothing to worry about, right?

Nothing at all.

It's just that we're so close. I don't
want anything to go on.

Oh, I know.

I know. It's just that's what we
thought.

Honey.

Everything's going to work out.

You just have to stop worrying, that's
all.

I'm trying.

I'm so organized, I can't find a damn
thing.

Oh, you wouldn't happen to know where I
put the budget breakdown, do you?

That file that was on your desk?

Christine already took care of it.

Oh, that was fast. Yeah, great.

What about the expense account vouchers?

She sent them down to accounting last
night, I think.

Christine strikes again.

I suppose she already ordered my lunch.

Rare roast beef with Russian dressing.

about ancient history.

I was a brash young man fresh out of
Wharton.

The only thing I knew about hotels is
that young women never went to them

unescorted. Not a bad idea.

In its day.

Yeah, times have changed all right. Now
here you are sitting on the board of

Comstock Industries.

And you were enjoying the St. Gregory's
world -famous hospitality.

And paying for it dearly, I might add.

Oh, poor Byron. At the mercy of an
unscrupulous innkeeper.

Here she is.

Come in, Lauren.

You've met Victoria Cabot, the
unscrupulous innkeeper?

Yes, we have met. Nice to see you again.

I hope he's not working you too hard.

Oh, he lets me up for air once in a
while. Don't let her fool you. She

under pressure.

Yes, that's what Charlie Desmond used to
say. No wonder he's retiring.

Hell of a good man, Charlie.

I don't know who I'm going to get to
fill his shoes.

I'd try filling them with a brand new
pair of stockings.

Works every time.

Her husband certainly knows his way
around a dance floor.

Dr.

Webb, you leave me breathless.

Dentist by day, waltz king by night. I
should say.

Question is, can you keep up with him?

Dance -wise, no, but I'm lucky he
doesn't hold it against me.

Besides, with my schedule, we don't get
out that often.

Tom's wonderful about my work, though.
Very supportive.

How do you think he'd feel if we moved
you up the corporate ladder?

Is that an offer, Byron?

Looks that way, doesn't it?

So, as soon as the board meets, I'll
bring up the promotion.

Vice President of Marketing and
Development.

How does that sound?

Oh, I think Tom will be as excited as I
am.

Well, I always knew you'd be in demand.

Hi, it's nice to see you again.

What are you doing here?

What do you want?

I just want to dance with you,
sweetheart. What else?

You know, this reminds me of one of your
old movies.

I think it was the first one you ever
did for me.

Don't you remember?

That big scene.

Where you danced for all those guys.

Of course, you had a lot less on then.
In fact, you weren't wearing anything at

all.

I guess that's why we called it naked
and naughty.

You certainly were.

That's a boy.

Baby's gonna have sweet dreams.

Here comes the Sandman, Eugene.

It's Gail McLean.

Miss Ray, are you in there?

Maybe she went down to the coffee shop.

What if she left the baby alone?

Miss Ray, are you in there?

I don't understand that. Where can she
be?

She has to eat sometime.

She'll probably be back in a second.

Trey?

Cassie, it's Mark Danning. I brought you
some supper.

That's just me. They've gone.

Hi.

I thought you might be hungry.

I am little.

You know, the couple I saw... Why didn't
you come to the door?

Got scared.

Didn't know what to say.

I don't understand.

Who are they?

I have to give up my baby.

Three, please.

Hold that elevator.

And I thought we were going to have this
wonderful little reunion, Amber.

It's Lauren.

Really? I like it. Has class.

Something I never learned from you.

You certainly have come up in the world,
haven't you? What the hell do you want

from me anyway?

Same thing I wanted 15 years ago. I just
want you to be happy. Isn't that what

life is all about?

It's all about forgetting you, Steve.

And believe me, I have.

You're wounding me, sweetheart.

You're really hurting my feelings,
Amber. I told you it's Lauren.

Amber Cloud is dead and no one misses
her.

Queen of the porno flicks? I do.

Well, she's not making a comeback.

Not for you and not for anybody.

I was so scared, I didn't know where to
turn.

What about your folks? Couldn't they
help?

Daddy's been gone a couple years now.

Mama's got three little ones to feed.

She said, girl, you get rid of that
baby.

I couldn't.

Seems like you've had a rough time,
haven't you?

Not as rough as some.

Besides, it's not Mama's problem, it's
mine.

Just gotta solve it the best way I can.

Eugene's father, isn't it his problem,
too?

He don't know about it.

He works on ships, you know, merchant
seamen.

He shipped out and Eugene Jr. came
along.

Didn't want him to feel he had to marry
me.

Wouldn't it have been fair? Be like I
was... Trapping him.

Holding on to something I had no right
to.

So that's why you're giving him up for
adoption?

At the hospital, there was a social
worker lady.

She was real nice to me, too.

That's how I met Mr. Fielding, the
lawyer.

He said not to worry.

He'd find Eugene a good home.

That couple I saw in the hall.

He needs lots of things.

Deserves them, too.

I don't have a job.

No way to take care of him.

God knows I don't want to give him up.

What else can I do?

You do love me, don't you?

Promotion blues?

I thought Comstock said it was in the
bag.

Career.

Promotion.

It doesn't mean a thing if I can't share
it with you.

I'm always here for you, darling. You
know that.

I was just on my way to the kitchen. I
heard the pastry chef was on the

You should have seen it. It was like
Laurel and Hardy movie down there. All

those cream pies flying through the air.
But I thought I might be able to calm

him down.

Oh, no sweat. I sat him down and got him
to cool off.

It's all taken care of.

Oh.

Oh, good.

It's called diplomacy, right? Learned it
from a master.

Besides, you've got plenty to do.

I do?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, I do.

You have a message for me? I'm Victor
Fielding.

Sixteen.

Here you go, Mr. Fielding. Thank you.

Excuse me.

I don't know a Mark Danning.

He's our guest relations director.

As a matter of fact, I think you're in
luck.

Mark? Yes.

You left a message for Mr. Fielding? I
certainly did.

Oh, you're early. Great. How do you do?
I'm Mark Danning.

Listen, since you have a couple of
minutes...

I'd like to talk to you about Cassie
Ray.

Thank you, Pat.

That's what I like when things go off
without a hitch.

You did the St. Gregory proud, Mr.
McDermott.

I think Christine takes all the honors
for this.

She wouldn't let me lift a finger or
even blow up a balloon.

He'd just become wonderfully adept at
delegating authority.

That's the key to all successful
management teams. Pretty soon, things

running so smoothly that all you do is
just sit back and reap the rewards.

Yeah, but it's the sitting back that's
getting coming.

Nick West is calling for you.

Poor Tom, he's never able to face
scrambled eggs alone.

Hello?

I told the dentist it was important, so
he gave me the number.

I hope I didn't catch you in a bad time.

You did. I'm busy.

Big company executive. I hear they're
even making you a VP.

But you can't keep putting me off like
this, honey.

What is it you want?

I have nothing to say to you.

Then I guess I'll have to do all the
talking.

About the past and how it affects the
present.

We got a lot of catching up to do,
Amber, so the sooner we get started...

right, we'll talk.

Good. I'm in 603, and like they say in
Hollywood, let's take a meeting.

Relation of hers?

No, we just met.

Then I don't understand the concern.

After all, everything's legal. The
transfer's been okayed by a judge.

It's not that.

It's just that... Now, I know it's none
of my business.

Maybe Cassie hasn't really thought this
through.

She's so young.

Maybe she doesn't understand what it's
all about.

She has no job.

Her mother won't take her in.

There's no husband.

She loves him.

It's her child.

It takes a lot more than love to clothe
and feed an infant.

It takes money.

She doesn't have any.

I'm sorry.

Just a... Kid, I was naive. I didn't
know any better.

You weren't that naive.

You were living by your wits when I
pulled you off the street. And throw me

front of a camera.

You took great care of me, Steve. You
were so good to me, I couldn't wait to

away from you. I cared about you, babe.

I broke my back trying to make you into
something.

Yeah.

Amber Cloud was something, all right.

Something I'd have to live with for the
rest of my life. Ah, come on. You made

good bread.

Oh, you did.

But that didn't matter to me.

I just wanted you to care. Wanted you to
say I meant something to you.

You meant a lot. Oh, no. I just meant
money in the bank.

Hey, come on now. You went legit. Now
it's my turn.

Look, I got this picture I want to make.
A feature.

Lots of action, adventure.

No hardcore stuff.

The problem is I need financing.

A couple of well -heeled backers and I'd
be in business.

Invest in your future?

I invested in yours.

Sorry, I don't have that kind of money.
But Byron Comstock does.

Now look, if you get your company to
invest in my project, we can bury Amber

Cloud for good. Forget she ever existed.

Nothing ever changes, does it?

Especially you.

What if I refuse?

I don't think that would be a very good
idea.

You see, I'm planning this interesting
little party.

A screening of all your old pictures.

Getting involved is one thing. I'm sure
I'd do the same, but you might not be

able to solve it for her.

And that's what worries me. The kid's
all alone.

Seems she got herself into a terrible
bind and can't see her way out.

What about the father? Does he want the
child?

Well, he's a merchant brain, and he
doesn't know anything about this.

Well, Cassie was afraid to tell him she
was pregnant.

Oh, I wonder what he'd do if he knew he
had a son.

I don't even know where to find him.

Well, maybe his union can help. I'm sure
they keep records.

Hey, I never thought of that.

Sure, they know how to locate him.
That's great. But Mark, he might be

of miles away.

But at least we made the effort.

Oh, hi.

Hi. Listen, thanks again for your help.

Anything I can do?

No thanks. Christine beat you to it.

I'm not surprised.

At this rate, pretty soon I'm going to
be obsolete.

Oh, absolutely.

Laurel will be perfect for the job.

Yeah, well, I've been thinking about it
for some time now. It makes sense. You

know, she's got the best record in the
company.

Okay, I'll tell her.

All right.

You two.

That was Geller.

The Hong Kong deal?

Yeah. They've met our terms.

And he's delighted about your move. He
thinks that you're just what we need in

that spot.

Marketing and development.

Covers a lot of territory.

And it's the development end that has me
concerned.

Meaning?

Well, with our magazines and radio
stations, maybe now's the time to

Reach out into other areas of the
entertainment field.

Television?

Film.

No, thanks.

I just read this terrific script.

I got burned once.

I like to go to the movies, but I don't
want to invest in them.

Certainly a lot of money to be made. And
lost.

No, it's not for us.

There's a three -to -one write -off in
the first year, so even if... Lauren, I

said I'm not interested.

I'm sorry I didn't see you before.

I guess I was scared.

We understand how difficult it is for
you. But just remember, we're all

concerned about the same thing. The
baby's welfare.

I know I can't give him all the things
you can.

That doesn't mean I don't love him. No,
quite enough.

Isn't he pretty?

He's got such big eyes.

Just like his daddy. Could I hold him,
please?

Cassie, the paper's ready.

Can I...

I'm sorry. I'm just not ready yet. Not
now, please.

Who? No, honey, don't.

I'm just scared.

Peter, I think a compliment's in order.

There's probably not a top manager in
this country that runs his establishment

as efficiently as you do.

Well, I've been getting a lot of
cooperation.

Oh, believe me, it shows.

I'll pass the word down.

You wanted to show me some paintings?

Paintings? Oh,

you mean the presidential suite?

Well, you said you needed help choosing
which ones to hang.

Oh, well, you have so many other things
to deal with. I took care of it already.

I thought you liked my input, Victoria.

Of course I do.

But you know, why should you be bothered
with all these little details?

Because it gives me something to do.

Peter, you know what I think?

What?

I think you need a vacation.

I think you've been working too hard.

Looks the little girl.

Thank you.

He's been sleeping real good.

Doesn't cry or anything.

I get up around two and feed him. Oh, my
doctor has already suggested a formula

for Brandon.

I keep forgetting he won't be Eugene no
more, will he?

Cassie, I really do understand how
you're hurting inside.

But we're going to love him like our
own.

Mr. Fielding said you lost your first
baby.

Can't have another?

Yeah.

Yeah, we've wanted a child for a long
time.

We've got the nursery all decorated.
It's bright and it's pretty and it's got

lots of teddy bears.

You like that?

He's going to have a good life, Cassie.
He is going to have everything you want

for him.

I know he will.

You'll be real good to him, too.

Sign the papers like I promised.

Yes.

Yes.

Listen, don't worry, Mommy had a little
errand to do, but she'll be right back

real soon.

Yeah?

Well, I think the 49ers are going to
win.

Apparently, you don't.

There we go.

Fix you right up, clean you up, and
we'll head down to the bar, have a

drinks, check out the women.

Yeah, you'd like that, wouldn't you?

Yeah.

You stay right there.

Good boy. Where are the diapers? You
have any idea where the diapers are?

Under here?

No. Let's see.

Don't move.

There you go.

No, no, wait, wait, wait, please, wait.

No, wait, wait, wait.

Yes, a lot, Eugene.

You had me worried there.

Thought you weren't going to show.

I was trying to sell you to Comstock.

So, what did he say?

He wasn't interested.

Why not? It's a great script.

He doesn't want to get involved in the
movie business.

I tried my best to convince him, but he
wouldn't buy.

Sorry, Steve.

Sorry isn't good enough.

If Comstock won't invest, you better
start looking for somebody else who

Now, you've got plenty of connections.
Use them. Because if you don't start

coming up with something... What the
hell is going on here?

Honey, I'm practically family. The least
you could do is introduce me.

What's he talking about?

She never told you?

Well, that's not like it.

Lauren, I thought you knew.

Please.

We were close.

Mrs. and me, real close.

You're not telling me everything,
Lauren. What's Cutler have on you? He's

an operator. He wants me to use my
connections to help get the film on his

the ground. Is that why you're so
frightened of him?

I was just seeing him again, that's all.

Were you as close as he said?

That was 15 years ago. I want to forget
that part of my life.

He obviously won't let you. What
happened, Lauren?

I made a lot of mistakes.

He made a lot of promises he couldn't
keep.

I did some... a few... adult films.

Adult? You mean porn?

I know there's... no way you can
understand.

But please don't blame me, Tom.

Using them to blackmail you, isn't he?

Unless I get the money, he'll show them
to Comstock.

When you grow up, you won't be bad at
me, will you?

You understand why I had to do it?

I love you more than anyone.

I want you to have all the good things
in life.

Things I can't give you.

So don't even think your mama didn't
love you.

She did, Eugene.

She always will.

Eckhart, Eugene.

Looks like you're in luck. He's been
back for about a week now.

Chip's out tomorrow, though. From where?

Right here in town, the Griffin.

She ties up at Pier 32.

32, you say?

Great. I really appreciate this.

You're not from the IRS, are you?

No, but he's going to get a great
deduction on his next return. Thanks

your time, okay?

I figured you'd want to do some
business.

Have you read my script?

That's not why I'm here.

I want you off her back.

I didn't think she had guts enough to
tell you.

Then you don't know my wife.

Honest relationship.

I'm impressed.

This what you're looking for?

How much?

I think the value's in the seeing.

I'm not interested.

Oh, come on. Aren't you curious?

Ah, sure.

You gotta be.

Well, I'm going down to have a little
drink. I've already caught this act.

But if something should happen to that
tape, I've got a copy.

Eugene Eckhart?

Okay.

That's what my daddy named me.

Hi, Mark Danning.

You're a hard man to find.

Well, I'm running with the tide, man.
We've got to get this thing loaded up

before we ship out.

Well, you may want to change your plan,
now that you're a father.

Why won't you tell me what happened?

These things take time.

I made him an offer. He said he had to
think about it.

Did he tell you what he wanted?

Whatever the market can bear. Look, I'm
going to get some air.

Tom, he didn't let him. I don't want to
talk about it right now.

You showed him the film, didn't you?

Is that what he told you?

He didn't have to tell me.

I could see it in his eyes.

You want some money?

I can understand that.

Why'd you have to go out of your way to
hurt me?

A man has a right to know what he's
buying.

He's not buying anything.

You know, you've been so on top of
things, I finally have a chance to get a

little ahead.

But that stuff from the employee's
suggestion box, I can't find the file.

it's around here somewhere. I took care
of it last week.

Here.

I hope you don't think I'm trying to
take over.

Come on, you know me better than that.

I'll just have to figure out what I'm
going to do with all this free time.

Maybe I can get a head start on next
year's convention schedule.

Yeah.

You did that already.

Oh.

Well, then, in that case, I'll be down
in the garage washing my car.

Oh, I... I... You took care of that,
too.

I'll be in the barbershop.

Unless, of course, you want to get my
hair cut for me.

I guess I was like so many other kids.

Dreamed of being a big Hollywood movie
star.

He said everyone had to start somewhere.

And when I finally realized what I was
doing to myself, I walked out on him and

I never looked back.

But the point is, I can't let my past
interfere with my responsibilities, can

I have no choice but to offer my
resignation.

I'm sorry if I've caused you any
embarrassment.

I never meant to, Byron.

I think of you every day.

I swear.

We're not leaving till tomorrow.

I made reservations for myself.

Myself.

But why, Tom?

I haven't changed.

I'm still the same person you married.
Oh, God, I wish I hadn't seen those

films. But I did.

And every time I close my eyes, it's
right there in front of me.

You were smiling, Lauren. You liked it.
Tom, please.

I didn't know what I was doing.

If Steve said jump, I jumped.

I didn't know any better.

Why did you let him use you? Why?

All those guys.

And that smile on your face.

If I ashamed you, I... I've shamed
myself so much more.

We have a good marriage. We have a good
life. Don't throw it away. Not now.

Not now, Tony.

I love you, Lauren.

You know that.

But I'm human. I have frailties, too.

I can't just change the way I feel.

Loving you isn't enough anymore.

It is for me.

I can't handle it.

I can't make it go away.

Who'd have thought she'd be in a place
like this?

I called everywhere. No one knew where
to find her.

Cassie.

Jane.

No, it's all right.

He knows about the baby.

Honey, you're all packed.

Where is he?

I already signed the papers.

I guess you forgot we were meeting with
Grossbard.

Oh, by the way, this letter of yours, I
think we should file it under past

mistakes.

Once it comes out. So what?

You think I'm going to let some lowlife
tell me how to run my business?

Besides, you're the best marketing VP
I've got.

Thank you.

Thank you, Byron.

We're going to go for a little ride.

We're just going to go see a new house.

A new room.

Heather, I'm sorry to bother you, sir.
Mr. and Mrs. McClain.

Eugene Eckhart.

Eugene?

Yes, ma 'am.

That's my son you're holding.

Well, not anymore.

Cassie signed the papers.

Nobody forced her.

Well, I know, but I... I had no idea
about the baby.

She was scared.

Too afraid to tell me.

I'm not the ship anymore, honey. There's
plenty of work right here in the docks.

We're gonna be a family now.

It's only right.

Look, we went through hell to get our
son.

I can't think we're going to give him
back now just because you... We're his

and dad.

You want him back?

You take us to court.

Come on, Gail. We've got a plane to
catch.

You're so pretty.

You are such a beautiful baby.

Honey, don't.

We'll fight this.

We can win.

Even if we did, Larry, I'd always feel
that we lost.

He belongs with them.

We'll just have to try again.

It's all right.

Mama's here now, sweetheart.

You've made us so happy.

I really hope you'll be a family too
someday.

I hope we will too.

No.

I know we will.

We will.

how busy you are.

But can you spare a few minutes?

Spare the whole day.

Good.

Every time I turn around, my staff's one
step ahead of me.

There's nothing left for me to do. Oh,
but there is.

So you can't handle everything on your
own, huh?

I guess not.

I guess I'm about to find out what I'm
good for around here.

Well. How about a raise?
