Looks great.

I'd buy one.

I think we got a natural winner here.

There are no natural winners. There are
only well -marketed winners.

If the rest of the campaign looks this
good, we've got a winner.

Well, then.

Looks like Babs deserves some credit
after all.

I'll reserve judgment on that.

Meanwhile, let's call it luck.

Oh, come on, Pop.

Can't you give your own daughter a
compliment?

It isn't going to cost you a cent.

Your sister is an overgrown cupidon.
She's been pampered all her life.

She lives in a fantasy world of chic
parties and jewels and limousines and

yachts. Let her face the real world
once.

Then, if she makes it on her own, she
won't need compliments from me.

Now, do you and I have any further store
-related business to discuss?

Oh, yeah.

The music video.

We've already dismissed that idea. No,
no, no, no, no, Pop.

You dismissed that idea, but let me tell
you something. I think it's a hell of a

great marketing tool. We're already a
year behind Norma Kamali, Ken Zu, and

several of the others. Now, that
videotape will make a great point -of

display, and you'll be able to cut your
ad campaign from it.

And also, there's a long shot. A long
shot, I admit. But if it's as good as I

know we can make it, there's a chance
that we'll be able to get it on one of

those music video channels.

All in all, Pop, it is the way for us to
reach the market that we're after.

Fine.

What?

Use this model.

Well, Pop, I think we ought to let the
director make... No, use this girl.

Well, we don't have a lot to go on.

Did you try the airport, the train
stations, the bus depots?

The cab driver dropped them off at a
coffee shop on the corner of Santa

and Purdue.

We questioned the hostess and the
waitresses, but nobody remembers a man

girl of that description.

Doesn't anybody pay attention to
anything?

There are thousands of fathers and
daughters in Los Angeles, Miss Bradley.

And we are doing everything we can.

Please, call me if you hear something.

Of course.

Good day. Thank you.

Shane, I won't stop looking.

How can you accomplish what the police
couldn't?

Well, I did what Max Kaufman couldn't
do.

And I did what U .S. Customs wouldn't
do.

Try me.

Cammy.

I'm going to apologize to you.

I shouldn't have broken our date.

John, I don't know why you act this way,
but I'm beginning not to care.

And I've been nervous about seeing you.

I don't know why. We don't see each
other that much.

Cammy. John, you've stood me up and
you've broken dates.

I told you.

I didn't know we had a firm date.

Your idea and my idea of a firm date or
commitment or just playing common

courtesy is so radically different, I
don't think we have anything to talk

about.

I know I've done everything wrong.

Stop it, John.

Look, Oscar, him won't forget everything
I have.

You and I, we come from different
backgrounds.

I don't have your marriage.

Please.

Please give me another chance.

Cammy, I've been scared to death about
relationship. That's why I keep fighting

it. That's why I keep breaking our
dates. I'm just afraid to get close.

Just agree to talk to me. That's all I
ask.

I'll leave him cookie dinner.

Come on, give him a chance.

I'll think about it.

How long has this been going on? The
first time that David forged my

was... Wait a minute, I wrote it down.

Um, yes.

The day after...

He met Shane Bradley in the elevator
with you.

Now, I'm not one for value judgment,
Paul, but you really shouldn't have done

that. That was not planned and you know
it.

Can we assign blame at a later date?

But nobody's blaming you, darling. Shane
deserves at least half the credit for

this. I believe the business at hand is
why is David cutting school and what are

we going to do about it? Okay, okay.

Don't yell.

I think...

Let David go from playing hooky to using
drugs. Oh, come on, Gloria.

That we have to make an appointment to
see the people at the school.

I've already asked my secretary to make
an appointment with David's counselors.

You have?

Well, then what are we arguing about?

Well, I don't know. Whatever you can
make at least. Cammy, this is Zach

Billy's told me a lot about you.

Oh, and this is Stacy Russell.

She's a department manager. And Stacy,
this is Zach Shepard. He's going to do a

video for Julian Morrell. Oh, great.

You do fashion videos?

I've done a lot of commercials.

I love commercials. I always go to the
bathroom doing the show.

I know we can get the look we want if we
work together.

And I'd really like your input.

Excuse me. Yeah. Could you just show me
some of the rails so I can get an idea

of what we're working with?

Well, we've almost sold all of them,
but... I'll show you what's left.

Over here.

Well, I think they'll be able to work
together.

You sure you're not matchmaking?

Not on purpose.

But I do have four tickets to the
Springsteen concert tomorrow night, if

like to double.

Sorry, I can't. I just made other plans.

Ah, let me guess. You're giving John
Higgins his tenth chance.

That's very generous of you.

And you think I shouldn't?

You want an unbiased opinion?

Yes.

I think you'd better ask somebody else.

We made it into production.

I have to admit, I was right.

About what?

The gamble paid off. We're getting out
of debt.

The dream is coming true.

With this huge order, we're going to be
a real success. So, Anna, come on, be

happy, okay? I'll be happy the day we
don't have to do business with that bum.

Yeah, well, we have to, so let's just
make the most of it.

More price to pay.

We'll see.

How's it going, Julio?

Great. Mr.

Allen, couldn't be better.

Judging from all this activity, I'd say
you've got a pretty hefty order.

According to my partner, this is the
largest order Beringer's has ever given

a first -time designer.

Well, as your other partner, I'm glad to
see things are turning out to be so

successful.

What's good for you is good for me.

You know, I should have held out for
that 50 % instead of settling for your

offer of one -third.

You're a tough businessman, Julio.

A small price to pay.

Well, Garrick's beat us out on a sales
item for the third time this month.

I'll handle it when I get home, all
right?

I miss you, Shane.

I miss you, too.

I, uh, don't like sleeping alone.

How are things at the store?

Hey, enough about the store. I want to
talk about us.

Uh, could we talk about this later?

Sure. Well, um, David's having some
problems in school lately.

We're, uh, having a meeting with his
counselor tomorrow morning.

I just, uh, can't seem to get through to
David anymore. It's so tough being a

good parent these days.

I think you're lucky.

I wish I had an appointment with my
daughter's school counselor tomorrow.

We're trying to keep this line open.

Where? What, is the police still with
you there?

No, it's Danny and some of his... Danny?

Danny Krujic. You met him at the
benefits.

He's in L .A. on business.

He's using his contacts to help me find
Emily.

What contacts? I thought he was an
importer.

Paul, can we talk later, please?

I'll call you, all right? Sure.

Bye -bye.

I understand construction on the West
Side Parkway has really slowed up

Here's the key to the storage room.

Let's go!

Who do you think you're talking to? I
only meant the shipment's already been

inspected. Mr. Krucek wants to keep it
sealed so the merchandise doesn't spoil.

When you're finished, I want the key to
the storage room back.

Who is that shepherd?

You should have seen him fawning over
the guy.

It is no big deal.

And I was not funny.

Sorry. Drooling.

At least he is the kind of guy I would
be proud to bring home to meet my

Yeah, but you come to that.

No, I think he's the kind of guy you'd
like to take home when mother's not

there.

Stacey? Always Stacey?

That's not like you.

Oh, Miss Advice to the Lovelorn has
stopped following her own advice. Now

do as I say, not as I do.

I will give you both some advice.

Lay off.

They detect too long. Oh, no, no, no,
no. States would never fall for some

But you better watch out, States,
because he might knock your socks off

break your heart.

Your relationship with John Higgins has
made you a very bitter person, Cammie.

What do we know about this guy?

Nothing. He's 29.

He's divorced.

He likes Italian food.

We were discussing the fashion video,
and in the course of the conversation,

just slipped out. What else just sort of
slipped out?

Nothing.

Except he is a friend of Billy
Berringer's from college.

He majored in film.

He won a lot of student awards. He got
sidetracked into commercials.

Won more awards.

He's looking for his big break, and he
has a six -year -old daughter who lives

with his ex -wife, who is a dancer.

I'm surprised you didn't find out his
birth son.

Leave him.

Todd, what are you doing out here this
late?

It's after 11 o 'clock.

Oh, hi, Paul. I was working late. I
heard there was a problem down here, so

just thought I'd check it out.

What's the problem?

Oh, a mix -up in shipping. These came
here instead of the Suburban store.

I ordered the guys to take them back.

I don't remember carrying this brand.

No, I ordered it myself.

Look, you don't run a promotion on
shoelaces without checking it with me

That was an oversight on my part, Paul.

And I want to get to the bottom of the
shipping error. I want every piece of

paperwork on my desk in the morning.

You're right.

We shouldn't let this kind of
carelessness slip by.

You want me to design your logo?

Yes. I want you to design all of Julian
Morrell's artwork.

Labeling, packaging, logo, everything.

Wonderful. You told me you wanted your
own design company.

Well, Julian Morrell is your first
customer.

I don't know how to thank you. You
thanked me by doing your best work ever.

Ooh, you got it.

Oh, excuse me. I want to tell Melody.

Melody. Melody.

Melody. Oh, I'm so glad I caught you.

Why?

Well, I like to see you, and I wanted to
tell you the news.

Your grandfather has approved a big ad
campaign for...

Julian Morrell.

And I have asked John to do the artwork.

I think with all your success, Mother,
you'd set your sights a little bit

than John Higgins.

Why can't you give him a chance, Melody?

He's really very talented.

And he means a lot to me.

You really don't see through him, do
you?

He's only after your money. That's a
terrible thing to say to me. He's so

insincere. Mother, he makes a path that
every woman he sees. I will hear no more

of this melody. Now, please, for my
sake, try and get along with him.

Of course, Mother, for your sake.

David is a bright student, but he used
to be a fun -loving, outgoing bright

student. Now he's defensive with the
other children. He neglects his

He cuts classes.

It's pretty classic.

He's asking for more attention from his
parents.

But I try to provide a good home.

But you separated recently, didn't you?
No, it's been quite a while.

Well, don't expect too much from David.
It takes a child a while to adapt to his

parents breaking up. His family and his
life are literally being torn apart.

We both try to show him all the love
that we possibly can.

But there has been some damaging news in
the newspapers recently.

Well, try to provide him as much
stability as you possibly can.

Twelve is an awkward enough age for any
boy.

And whatever your personal differences,
you should not speak ill of each other

in front of him. When you are together,
you should try to get along.

For your son's sake. I think we
understand.

Thank you very much.

If you hadn't tried to foist another
mother off on David, none of this would

ever have happened.

Gloria, I never did that.

And let's just leave Shane out of this.

Besides, we're not seeing each other
right now.

You're not?

I'm sorry.

Don't look at me that way. I'm not being
hypocritical.

I'm not sorry you broke up.

I'm sorry that you'd have to go through
such a thing.

It's only temporary.

Oh. Well, whatever.

Why don't you come to dinner tonight?

We could work out how to make David's
life a little easier.

I'd rather not talk about our problems
in front of David.

Why don't we go somewhere right now and
discuss it over coffee?

Fine.

Good.

I forgot.

I have an appointment.

Dinner will just be easier for me.

We'll talk after David's gone to sleep.

He'd love to have his dad at dinner.

Fine. Kay, it won't be anything fancy.
That's all right. Don't get in trouble,

please.

Taxi!

What's this?

A contract covering our business
arrangement.

You already have a piece of paper on
that. How many do you need?

It's better to have a formal agreement
made up by a lawyer.

Lawyer, huh?

Wait a minute.

I didn't offer you one -third of the
company. I offered you one -third of my

share. I only own 50%. What?

Mrs. DeGava owns the other 50%. So you
get a third of my share.

Got it? I agreed to one -third of the
whole company, and you signed the note.

Yeah, but then you would own more than I
do.

I won't sign it.

If you don't sign the contract, I'll go
to Mrs. DeGava. I'll tell her how you

broke into my shop, used my equipment,
lied to her about it. She might not like

working with... A criminal has a part.

Yeah. Well, if I end up with nothing, so
do you.

Flumming again?

No. I just wanted to apologize.

For what?

I've been really treating you badly.

I'm sorry.

I really hope we can start over.

Why the turnaround?

I was angry at my mother and I was
taking it out on you.

I'm sorry.

I hope you can forgive me.

Yeah. Sure.

Thanks.

I'm just trying to grow up.

I'm not sure about this.

Can I see you tonight?

I can't.

I understand.

As long

as you put it that way.

Your place, 8 o 'clock.

Yeah.

305 -0024.

Expiration date, 886.

Yes, I'd like to send something
extravagant.

Say, two dozen long stem American
beauties.

One dozen.

Put this on the card.

Babs, dearest, comma.

Thanks for my big break, period.

I'd like to show you my sketches and my
gratitude tonight.

Period. 8 .30 at my apartment.

Period.

Can you read that back to me?

Fine. Sign it, John.

Thank you.

Can I buy a ranch?

I beg your pardon?

Well, I looked for you in your office,
but they told me I could find you here.

I want to buy a ranch, and you said my
portfolio has increased its value in the

past year up to 14%. Well, there are
certain tax advantages in buying

raw land, especially unproductive land,
but... I don't want it for tax

advantages. I want it for Mom, Dad, and
me.

We can go there on vacation.

Well... David, as your trustee, I'm
afraid I would have to advise you

such an investment.

Well, what about season tickets to the
Knicks?

Do you want a glass of water, Mr.
Ludwig?

I believe, David, we already have a
permanent box for the Knicks games.

It's deductible for the company as
business entertainment. I don't want the

company's tickets. I just want three for
Mom, Dad, and me.

I take it that you want to buy something
to help keep your parents from being

divorced, hmm?

Right.

What about a trivia game?

Sure I can afford that.

I just don't see how that would help.

Well, you can't play alone.

You need at least two people to play.

I could give Mom the board and Dad the
card.

That way they couldn't play without each
other.

David, I think you're right.

You can afford this game.

Sure you'll be able to deduct it. Now,
wait, wait, wait. We are not in the

business of trying to fool the Internal
Revenue Service, David.

Yes, sir.

Bye, Mr. Ludwig.

Goodbye, David.

This one in blue.

Oh, that's lovely. Wouldn't that go nice
with your eyes?

Just got to like this. Yeah.

Excuse me.

Make it fast. We got a directive about
not conducting personal business on the

sales floor.

What does it matter?

Doctor calls it a 24 -hour bug.

It's unscientific. Oh, John, I'm sorry.
Are you in pain?

No, I breathe.

This is a common virus.

I'll be right as rain tomorrow.

Well, you should go home and you should
rest.

I can't.

Fused up on my sick leave. Is there
anything that I can do?

No. I just want to set a time to get
together.

Oh, we can do that another night.

Are you sure?

Of course.

Miss, I'm in a hurry.

I gotta go. Take care of yourself and
call me if you need anything.

Okay.

Hang on a minute, Nick.

Have you reached Miss Bradley yet?

I've got the hotel operator on the line
now, sir. I'll notify you as soon as I

reach her.

Thank you.

Look, the truck authorization code ends
in 02 instead of 01.

That's a pretty simple error.

If it was an error. Well, it could have
been a typo.

That's the problem with computers. One
digit off, and it was sent to this store

instead of the suburban store.

07, the shipment could have landed in
Moscow.

A little humor there, Paul.

All right, never mind.

The code tells us that Hanson made out
the form.

What have you got on Hanson?

Hanson, Hanson.

18 years with us, has had several merit
raises.

He's straight as an arrow.

I read this as a mistake.

What if it wasn't, Nick? What then?
Missed you.

Some other clerk could have wanted
Hanson's job.

Practical joke.

I mean, with a truckload of jams, Paul,
I'm inclined to suspect a mistake.

I mean, there isn't a big black market
out there in strawberry preserves.

Yes? Mr. Barringer, the hotel operator
reports that Miss Bradley has had her

calls transferred to a Mr. Krucek suite,
but there's no answer there either.

Shall I leave a message?

No, no, that won't be necessary. Thank
you.

Nick, do me a favor.

Name it.

Check out an importer by the name of
Danny Krucek for me.

Quietly. He won't hear a sound.

And on this wall, I want tiny strobes,
smoke on the floor, and then, when the

dancers come in, we can either drop a
ton of glitter or light the sparklers.

Sparklers? Oh, don't worry. It'll be
safe.

Well, I'm sure they will be, but will
all of this show off the clothes as

Well, we're selling a look, a feel.
That's more important than the clothes.

Nothing is more important than the
clothes.

You don't have a look. You don't get a
feel without the product.

Will they see the product?

Hey, I've done this before. Trust me. I
know how to sell.

Well, you know how to sell yourself,
sure enough, but do you know how to sell

product? Hey, how's it going?

Great. Huh? Great.

Good.

You know, you really should have eaten
something.

I wasn't hungry. I'm not asking you to
pamper yourself.

Just enough to stay alive.

Will you excuse me? There's something I
need to say. Sure.

Now, chew.

Good.

What

the

hell are you doing here?

Well, as you Americans say, it's a free
country.

Living is free.

Funerals are expensive.

A clever turn of phrase. I'll have to
remember it.

No doubt that lovely lady has brought
out the poet in you.

I'm here to renegotiate our contract.

Recent seizures in Miami have driven the
market value of our commodity well

above what it was when we first made our
deal.

Well, it seems to me that...

We had a price at our phone, and my
trucks are ready for shipment.

Now, you deliver according to our
contract, and you'll live to spend that

Is that clear?

Yeah.

And never, ever meet me again in public.

Bartender, let this set up here, please.

Put it on my bill.

At least some for me.

They're all gone.

Well, I guess my little lecture worked,
huh? Mm -hmm.

Would you like some more?

No, thanks.

I have to pack. I'm leaving for New York
tomorrow.

The police ran into a dead end here.
There's nothing more I can do.

I guess I just have to get on with my
life.

Great game, huh?

Of course you think it was a great game.
You won.

It's about time for you to go to bed,
isn't it?

While your dad stays up and reads the
encyclopedia so he can compete with you

next time.

Good night, Dad.

Good night.

I love you, David.

You know what he wrote on the card?

On my half of the gift?

Rule number one, this game must be
played by the entire family.

Not very subtle.

Good night, Gloria.

Must you go so soon?

Gloria, it's not going to work.

What's not going to work?

Come on, Gloria.

First you manipulate me into coming over
here, and then you come moseying out in

that kind of outfit?

I took a bath.

Oh, honey, we've lived together for 14
years. Now, surely you've seen me in a

robe before.

Good night, Gloria.

Oh, all right.

All right, I... I admit it.

I was trying to seduce you.

I was trying to sleep with my own
husband. Call the police. A crime has

committed. Come on, Gloria. I'm in love
with you.

I want you.

We've been making love for years, and I
want to go on making love with you.

All right.

All right, you win.

You can have the divorce.

I beg your pardon, what did you say?

I've been trying to fight for something
that doesn't exist anymore, and I'm not

going to hold on any longer.

I'll sign the papers, um... I'll sign
the papers tomorrow.

I feel like such a failure.

You're not a failure, Gloria.

No one's a failure.

We got married too young.

I grew up, grew apart.

Do you hate me?

I wouldn't blame you if you did. I hate
myself.

Gloria, please don't. I can't help it. I
know how awful I've been.

Just that I kept thinking, if I fought
hard enough, that I wouldn't lose you.

Gloria, we tried our best.

Nobody blames you.

Could... Could you just hold me?

I'm so sad.

Could you stay with me tonight?

Please.

I was thinking, Annie's out there.

She could be anywhere in the world. I
feel like I might not see her again.

Shane, I promise.

I know, Danny.

You've done everything you could. I want
you to know how much I appreciate it.

Shane, I would do anything in the world
for you. Danny, I told you I...

I can't let this happen.

You feel the same way I do.

I don't. I don't believe you.

I love Paul.

We've had some terrible problems, but
we're going to work them out.

I can't do this to him.

I hope he appreciates you.

We've paid off most of our debts with
the money we made from the test sale.

Connie, I'm so glad.

If Hooley is careful with the next
order, we might start making money.

Who is it?

I work for Mr. Allen. I got contracts
from the shop.

What contracts?

I don't know.

Rental fees, I guess.

Where's Julio?

He's on his way home right now.

With all his friends.

They're playing cards.

Cards, huh?

That sounds nice.

Well, uh, aren't you going to invite us
to stay?

Oh, you don't have to wait. I can give
the contracts to him.

Oh, you hurt my feelings.

He hasn't forgot to sign these.

You should think real hard before he
forgets again.

Or we're just going to have to help him
sign.

You look great.

Yeah, I planned to start.

You also have a guitar.

Yeah, well, I used to play.

You have all these things, but you don't
use them?

When I have time.

You busy with my mother?

Yeah, well, uh... Are we here to

talk about your mother?

I was wondering if you thought we were
alike.

Who?

My mother and I.

I never kiss and tell.

Surely you've done more than kiss.

I never tell.

You know, she's a lot older than I am.

She's more experienced.

Sure about that?

Sketches are beautiful.

No wonder my mother loves your work.

You want some help with that?

No.

I've been undressing since I was three
years old.

I think I can handle it.

I'll go in the bathroom. No, I'm not
going to get that.

This is ridiculous. Come on, it could be
important.

What are you doing here?

I was worried about you.

Aren't you going to let me in?

I really don't feel like company now.

Well, I won't stay very long. I just
brought you some food.

Yeah, all right.

How are you feeling? I'm fine.

I was just sleeping.

You don't have a shirt on. You shouldn't
be walking around like that when you

have a cold.

Cammy, I gotta get back to bed.

Okay, I'm going. Who was that?

Cammy, wait!

Cammy! Cammy, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Explain everything. How could you
possibly explain?

I didn't plan it.

that you want, and if you didn't plan
it, then it's not your fault?

No.

That's not what I meant. You are
pathetic.

I was so stupid to believe you.

Tammy, please.

I love you.

She doesn't mean nothing to me.

Just give me one more chance.

60th and Park, please.

I appreciate your efforts, Detective
Schmidt.

Yeah, thank you.

You have my New York number?

Please call me if you hear anything.

Thank you.

It's open.

I found your daughter.
