Original subtitles

Oh, shoot.

Hey.

You lost a piece.

I can't think.

No excuse.

Let me concentrate.

Checkmate. So fast?

You know the rule.

Show me you want me.

What do you want me to do?

Never mind.

Michael!

I'm sorry, Melody.

Melody looks pretty glum today, pal. Yeah?

Help up Uncle Nick.

I broke it off with her today.

Great job!

Gotcha. Thanks for getting too serious.

There's no way I can let him get that serious.

Why?

Melody's a sweet gal, guy.

Yeah.

She's sweet, she's caring, she's sensitive.

She's a goddamn Hallmark card.

What? You want to be treated badly, buddy? No.

I want something.

Anything.

Something more.

More what?

I don't know. I want someone exceptional.

Are you Michael Morgan?

Uh, yeah.

I'm marketing and media. I just transferred from New York.

Oh, lucky L.A.

Here's the preliminary Ken's I print by. I thought I'd bring it by and introduce

myself.

Great.

Oh, uh, Michael Morgan?

Suzanne Bronhill.

Nice name.

It means high-breasted in Gaelic.

Well, I'm glad we got that cleared up.

Well,

I guess I'll see you in the trenches.

Ms. Braunhill.

I got your key.

Are you free after work?

Nope.

I couldn't believe it.

This girl, she's, uh... Well, you're gonna have to see her, man. Wait a

minute, wait a minute. Reality check, guys.

She handed you a folder. I know. We barely met and spoke to each other. But

this girl, I can tell.

It's something special. Okay, okay.

What's the name of this paragraph?

Suzanne.

It's, uh... It's, uh, Gaelic. Gaelic for high-breasted.

Bronnell.

Suzanne Bronnell.

Oh, you know her.

That's right. You worked at the New York office.

She's trouble-making.

Big, big trouble.

What do you mean?

Believe me, I know.

You don't want to be messing with this girl.

What's the matter, Nick? She dump you?

Let's just say, buddy, that she is a barracuda.

Hello? Gary, it's Michael. Did I wake you?

Evil never sleeps, Michael.

What can I do for you? What, you want to transfer to New York? No, thanks, Terry.

It's much cheaper here.

I wanted to ask you about Suzanne Brania, though.

Oh, that one, huh?

What, is she making waves already?

No, why? Is she a bad ad woman?

No, no, she's a great ad woman. I would have fired her.

She cut a swat, that's all. She left a lot of guys holding their balls.

Oh, she's trying to sleep her way to the top.

No, no.

Nothing like that.

Yeah, we were all glad when she transferred.

Ah, she was too much for him, huh?

She's too much for you too, Mikey.

You want to bet?

A thousand.

You're on.

Hey, Mike.

Is there anything else?

Yeah. You got a personnel file?

Well, surely.

Don't call me surely.

Could you fax it to me?

Well, that's against department policy, pal.

Shall I incidentally row?

Pretty please.

Ambassador.

English lit.

Cum laude.

Harvard business.

French, German, Italian.

Competitive skier.

Retired.

Retired.

Flying, hang gliding, a little autocross, tattoo on the back of your

neck, no criminal record, and an income just this side of six figures.

Should I be flattered or threatened?

Flattered, definitely flattered.

Berkeley, philosophy.

With honor.

Stanford biz.

Why Stanford?

Mediterranean climate.

No languages, unless you count Japanese.

Test ranking.

Competitive bridge.

Retired.

Retired. Income just that side of six figures.

Surfing. Martial arts.

Published chaos theory expert.

Chaos theory?

Chaos theory.

Chaos theory, scuba diving, and women.

Is it fair to say women?

Yeah.

Sounds like you and I are just two of a kind.

You think so?

Have you heard what they say about me?

Yeah.

What'd you do to them?

I just like to play games.

My place, 7 o'clock.

Good show, huh?

Loved him, hated her.

All right, where to?

Anywhere you want.

Anywhere?

Anywhere.

It's your turn.

My turn?

When's it going to be your turn?

You'll know.

Hello, how are you? Good evening.

May I get you a cocktail or a glass of wine before your dinner?

Whatever you want.

We'll start off with two sats.

I'll be right back.

So, tell me the story of your life.

A show, a drink, some nice, light conversation.

Is this your idea of a good time?

To start.

And then what?

I was thinking about a nice romantic walk on the beach.

Some heartfelt talk.

Maybe share some childhood secrets.

And then you'll ask me what my astrological sign is, and then we'll go

back to your place, and you'll pour me some wine, and probably put on some

Frank Sinatra records.

It was your turn.

You could have done anything.

I would have done anything.

It's a first date.

What's your hurry?

That's not what I mean.

It's my turn now.

What do you have there?

Nice place.

I like it.

Take me.

Make me?

Yeah, sure.

It's about time.

Suzanne? Suzanne?

Tom.

That's about the only thing that I didn't do last night.

Excuse me?

You really are something, you know that?

See, I can tell why you scared them all the way.

Mr. Morgan, is there something I can help you with?

Oh, I get it.

No playing during work, right?

I have some research to do before the meeting.

So, if you have no further agency business, I'm gonna go.

Nick.

Nick. Hey, man, what's up?

You want to go to the doctor after work?

No, thanks. I'm kind of busy.

What's the matter, Nick?

You dating her?

Yeah, one date.

Don't do it, Michael.

Just don't do it.

You really fell for her, huh?

She's going to make you feel things, man, that you never felt before or will

again. She's going to twist you around, use you up, and then just toss you away.

I'm really sorry, Nick.

I am, okay?

That's not going to happen to me.

You know, I don't know what's worse.

The thought that she's going to break you, too, or the thought that she won't.

Should we emphasize the distance and accuracy?

No. Forget that.

Sell the sizzle. Golf.

Pacific Rim.

America. That's what sells in Japan.

American sports.

American golf.

Hit a home run with Kenzai balls.

Okay. Americana.

Put Elvis on the ball.

What's our psychographic?

Japanese businessman.

Competition.

Competitive.

The unfair advantage.

Good. More American.

The knockout punch.

But they're Japanese balls.

Even better.

Japanese workmanship and American image.

Our balls are unbreakable.

Whose balls are unbreakable?

Ah, good, Al. You recruit Suzanne Bronghill.

You know everyone, Suzanne?

I believe so.

Hi, Nick.

Well, Michael, you brought this client in.

Could we update Suzanne?

They're looking for an American agency.

Why?

They want the American side.

Drive.

Balls.

Yeah, balls.

I think that the American touch will feel very, very good to them.

They want something that's going to raise them above the competition here.

In the U.S.

See, their balls are already big there.

But here, in America... Big.

Big.

Unleash the giant.

Well, you see, I think on the whole, the competitiveness thing will feel very,

very good to them.

You owe me for that, son.

What do you mean?

I mean, I wanted to rip your clothes off.

You shouldn't say naughty things like that.

Please, let me go.

Why are you taking me? Here, get on.

You hold on tight.

Have you felt that before?

Please, mister.

What's your name?

You can call me sir.

Yes, sir.

I want you to take off your blouse.

Please don't make me do that, sir.

Do as I say.

Please don't hurt me.

I won't hurt you if you're obedient.

Now be a good girl and take off your skirt.

That's a good girl.

My panties too, sir?

No, not yet.

Don't fight me.

Well, what do you want me to do, sir?

I want you to give me a bath.

What are you doing to me, sir?

Shh. Don't talk back to your elders.

Do you like, huh?

I think so.

May I go now, sir?

No.

But I have a present for you.

Can I get it?

Not now.

Please.

I like it.

Okay, but be quick.

Okay. Close your eyes.

Close your eyes.

Okay, now start counting from ten.

Ten. Nine.

Eight.

Two.

One.

Zero!

Suzanne?

Suzanne?

Suzanne?

Suzanne, I need you to post bail for me.

Who is this?

Suzanne, get me out of here.

Don't ask. I don't have to ask.

She's hooked you already, hasn't she?

She's like a drug, Michael.

Lethal and addictive. Look, I can handle her, all right? I can play her games.

Michael.

Suzanne!

Michael. Sean wants this for you.

Nick.

You look bushed. I'll buzz for coffee.

No, that's okay.

I heard you spent the night in the clink.

Just a couple of hours.

Word travels fast.

They called us to verify your employment.

Indecent exposure.

Would you mind telling me what the hell you were doing?

Just taking a bath.

How long is it going to take you to complete the Kansai golf ball pitch?

I'll be finished within the week. I just have some research to do.

I just got a fax from Kobe.

He's flying in and he wants to hear the proposal tomorrow.

Tomorrow? Where are the concepts?

The art boards?

Make up the research. In 24 hours, we need something that will sell.

Yes, sir.

Ma'am.

Don't let me down, Michael.

Okay, Sean.

No, I told you I needed you Tuesday morning. Alexis, get the Kenzai team in

my office stat.

Anything in the... Sound the alarm. Colby's here tomorrow.

Oh, see if the lab can cut us any slack on the overnight price.

Okay, I'll talk to Larry about it. What time should we rehearse in the morning?

First thing at 9 a.m.

Suzanne, can I show you something?

Uh, yeah.

Thanks.

Margaret. Hey, it's Michael.

Hey, what's going on, sport?

You guys need some help with Kobe?

No, Terry, I need some help with Suzanne Braunhill.

Uh-huh.

So, she got you hooked, does she?

Where's my thousand?

I just, I want to know how to play her. I don't want to read this.

She doesn't have any.

There's got to be something she wants. Money and promotion?

She's got ambition, but she's not stupid. She'll wait her turn.

Any secrets or vices?

Just her games.

Terry, did you ever... No, no.

My barracudas don't swim together.

Terry, gotta go.

You were a bad girl last night.

We're not playing that game anymore.

Haven't you learned anything? We don't repeat games.

Is everything a game to you?

Everything's fun.

Well, that just doesn't give you the right to... To what?

To get you more turned on than you've ever been in your whole life and leave

you wanting more?

Come on, you can't seriously be mad at me for not screwing you on the second

date.

Besides, I told you.

Third time's a charm.

What are the rules of these games?

That's for you to find out. That's part of the game.

But they keep changing.

That's part of the game, too.

Put your

hands right here.

Now look at me.

Kiss me.

I'll tell you one rule.

You don't play the game, you're out.

Out like me.

You understand?

Yes, sir.

Michael, Michael. I found a great book.

Zen and Golf.

Oh, great. Look, I'll get it later from you. No, no. I have it right here.

By Cary Haver.

Good work.

I'll get that for you, Michael.

Thank you.

Thank you, Alexis.

Where are

you

taking me, mistress?

Where are you taking me, mistress?

Let me look at you.

Yeah, you'll do.

Oh, Michael.

Do you want me to make love to you?

Yes.

What?

Yes, mistress.

Good boy.

Hold still.

Wipe that smile off your face.

Hey!

What?

I have to go to the bathroom.

Come on.

Come on.

I can't.

No excuses.

I'm too excited.

Why?

Good boy.

Are you ready to take me?

Where are you going?

BF Quentin time.

I've got work to do.

Not today, you don't.

Suzanne! If you yell loud enough, someone might come.

If that's what you want.

Suzanne!

Shit!

Okay.

The golfer hits the golf ball.

The golf course turns into a baseball stadium.

Golf ball flies over the bleachers, and slogan, hit a home run with Kenzie golf

balls.

Okay, good.

Where's Michael?

Shouldn't he be here?

Uh, yeah, I'm sorry. I forgot to tell you he wasn't feeling well.

Oh, then he's probably in bed.

Let him off, Suzanne.

Let him go.

Stop warming him in.

I'll play your games.

Poor sweet Nick.

Do you know that Michael's twice the game player you are?

I think he just might make it.

Did you miss me?

You bitch.

That is naughty.

You feel neglected, don't you?

Shall we continue our game?

Oh, I guarantee you'll like this one.

Are you thirsty?

Yes, mistress.

What? Do you like?

Yes, mistress.

Yes. Yes.

Oh, yes.

Yes. Will you do anything for me?

Will you do anything for me?

Yes.

Yes what?

Yes, mistress.

What will you do for me?

I'll play all your games, mistress.

I'll play all your games Tell me again I will play all your

games

All right, do we have the dupes on the posters?

Oh, no.

No? We have them, Michael.

Suzanne,

did you get a call from ESPN?

Yep, such a deal.

Michael, did you have a chance to read that book?

What book?

Zen and Golf. Zen and Golf.

That was a great book, Alexi. Thank you.

Michael, these ideas we're presenting are just too... Just stick to the

script, Miss Brownhill.

Bagel! Kobe likes garlic bagels. Already handled.

Michael, we're ready.

All right.

I'm to the airport.

I'm going with you.

Me too.

God, it's hot.

are you hot

Why, Nick, what are you?

What, Nick?

Suzanne.

You'll share me, won't you, Michael?

Nick wouldn't care.

You'll share me, won't you, Michael?

You bitch.

You cold-hearted bitch.

What's the matter with you? Stop it right now.

My hero.

I think I'm in love.

Well, we'll see you this afternoon around 3 o'clock, Mr. Covey.

You will also be at the presentation, Miss.

Yes, but Mr. Morgan is in charge. Just think of me as his slave.

Is there anything you need, Mr. Covey?

Pops, someone can help me to the chicken.

Nick will do that, won't you, Nick?

It will be my pleasure.

Right this way, Mr. Covey.

Sayonara. Sayonara.

Sayonara, Mr. Covey. Sayonara.

Sayonara.

Think of me as his slave.

I thought Nick was going to die.

You were so mean to him.

Oh, I'm fun.

Kobe's here.

Field's tomorrow.

I kept one for luck.

You mean right here?

Welcome to Cotton Partners West.

Where's Mr. Morgan?

He's in the conference room, smoothing the way for you.

I hope he will.

Smooths my way. Tell us all.

Be an honor, Mr. Coburn.

Do you have the mock-up?

Coming. Get them.

Please.

You haven't spoken to me all week.

Don't I at least get an explanation?

Melody, look, I thought I explained that night.

I think I deserve better treatment from you. What treatment?

We went out. It just didn't work, that's all.

I'm sorry I didn't realize it sooner or I would have... Well, what's wrong with

me? Nobody's ever treated me this way. Nothing's wrong with you, okay?

It's me.

It's me.

You're a wonderful girl.

It's just, you're not what I'm looking for. Well, what do you want? Maybe I can

change. Melody, don't disgrace yourself like this, okay?

You're a sweet, caring girl.

I want you to go out and find somebody who's going to appreciate that.

Mr. Covey wanted to see where the fireworks were going to be.

Well, I think you're really going to like number eight.

Can die.

Mr. Kobe, I have a feeling you're not very happy with these ideas.

Well, I'm listening.

Is it the stress on competitiveness that bothers you?

Yes.

After all, in Japan, no businessman,

even cadets do.

would ever try to beat their client at golf, correct?

Quite true.

Japanese business and golf and philosophy is

about control.

Perfect placement.

Mental clarity.

Personal excellence.

Just like Kensei Golf Ball.

Can't say golf balls because golf is the ultimate mind game.

Hi. Hi.

I have a little victory prize for us tonight.

This is Tiffany, my L.A. friend.

Happy birthday, Mr. Morgan.

It's Michael.

It's not my birthday.

By the time I get through with you, you're going to think it was.

Do you have any bad habits I need to know about?

I snore in my sleep.

You're not going to be sleeping.

Why don't you say we get started?

I'm feeling kind of, you know.

Are you going to be a part of this?

I think I'll just...

Watch for now.

You look so good.

Your body looks so hot now.

I love when you kiss me like that.

No.

You two must be friends.

Ha ha.

I don't know if I've done enough.

Not at all.

Would you like your present, Michael?

Yes.

Thank you.

Okay.

That was pretty stupid, huh?

What the hell were you doing?

Doing a little of this, a little of that.

Cocaine?

Heroin?

Just like the old days, a mic.

This is about Suzanne, isn't it?

Oh, well, if I can't have her, at least I can have her pity.

Nick, this is crazy.

I can't believe that you let a woman do this to you.

Yeah.

I smuggled in your cigarettes here.

Quitting.

Go out with Melody for Christ's sake. Michael.

Stay away from Suzanne.

I can handle her. You don't get it.

I don't want you to.

I don't want you to make her happy.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I love her.

He's sick, so... I'm tired, Mike.

I'm tired.

Mike.

We're not gonna be friends anymore.

No, I call that a hello.

Do I know you?

What?

Do I know you?

I guess not.

Maybe I know you from a past life, though.

Maybe you owe me money from a past life.

Maybe you...

You know what?

I have a good theory.

You can tell a lot about how a man makes love by the way he dances.

Well, then that makes Marshall Jackson one hell of a man.

61.

Ever made love to a stranger?

Huh?

Did you think?

He doesn't know how much pain he'll get.

Huh?

And you don't know how much pain he'll get.

Hi, sweetie.

Good morning.

White slavery or Ozzie and Harriet?

Breakfast by the pool.

You know, last night...

No one's ever... I mean, I feel like you crawled out of the back of my brain.

I'm serious.

No one has ever played a game so well.

No one's ever understood me.

I love you Michael.

I love you.

I love you, Michael.

I love you.

I'm watching you

Thank you.

Make me part of your team so I can

be born again.

What am I going to do without you all day?

Drink lots of fluid.

Hi, lover.

Is he gone?

Who?

Kobe.

Just doing my part for the agency.

But you said you loved me.

What?

Doesn't that mean something to you? Something like fidelity?

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about what happened this morning.

That was a game.

A game?

Come on, lover.

Don't choke on me now.

You're good. You're very good.

You're the best I've had.

I got a surprise for you.

Normally I don't repeat games, but this isn't really the same thing.

Okay?

What is your wish, Master?

What shall we do with her, Master?

Melody, why would you do this? I wanted to give you what you wanted, Michael.

I wanted to please you.

I love you, Michael.

Play the game, Michael.

Look, everything can't be a game.

Suzanne said that if I... You know the rules.

She said if I play, or you're out.

She said if I play your games, I... Don't you care who you hurt?

All models over 18.

That maybe you'd love me.

I have given you more passion than you have ever had in your little account

executive heart.

Don't throw it away, Michael.

Michael, if you leave, it's over.

Please, Michael.

Nick Kelso, please.

Room 515.

I'm sorry. He has a do not disturb on his phone.

Oh.

Would you like to leave a message?

Tell him... Tell him... Never mind.

Hello? Suzanne, I'm sorry.

It's over, Michael.

I just, uh... I just lost it for a bit.

I'm okay now, though.

It's over.

Don't call me again, or you won't like what happened.

You just can't throw away what... That's the way the game is played.

You've choked, and you're out.

No replay.

Ask Nick.

Suzanne! Let me in!

Look, you just can't turn me off like a light!

I've already called the police. In two minutes, you're under arrest.

Who made you God?

It's always your games, your rules, and your turn.

Because I know what I want, which is more than you do.

Suzanne, you don't play games with this.

Don't get all holy on me.

You do it all the time.

Look at Melody.

It's not the same.

Isn't it?

Two of a kind.

That's what you said.

Only your games are no fun.

I wasn't trying to hurt her.

I was just looking for... For what?

For someone special?

Someone who matches you?

Yes.

Suzanne. That's all I was doing.

And I thought that you might be the one.

You're not the one.

Suzanne, don't do this.

Michael, you had your chance.

Please, give me another.

Get away from me.

Suzanne.

I'm begging you.

I love you.

And Melody loves you.

So what?

Please, Suzanne.

You're everything that I want.

Well, you're not everything I want.

Those $1,500, you want to post it?

Man, we're going to have to keep you if you don't post bail.

Aren't we missing Mr.

Morgan? I'm afraid he had a personal matter come up.

Oh, dear.

And Mr.

Kelso? I think I'm afraid.

I have made you people work too hard.

Oh, no. And I'm sure we can still meet all your needs, Mr. Kobe.

You already have, Miss Brownhill.

And I'm happy to let you know that. Suzanne, doing a good job on your balls,

Mr. Kobe? Make sure she works real hard on your balls.

Have you tried tying her up?

Oh, mud wrestling?

Michael! Oh, Suzanne's very inventive, aren't you, Suzanne?

Mr. Morgan, you're perhaps drunk.

It is unfortunate.

Then again...

You may have games that she's never even heard of, huh?

Michael, get out of here right now. Whatever you do, never, ever stop

playing her games because if you ever let her see how you really feel, she'll

cut your heart out, won't you, Suzanne?

Michael, you're fired.

I see.

You are not drunk.

You are lactic.

My sympathy.

You forgot that.

Terry, it's Michael.

Morgan, you owe me a thousand.

How about that transfer to New York?

No can do, Mikey.

You broke rule number one.

You made the agency look bad.

Everybody's got rules, huh?

That's right, sport.

And you've got to follow them.

Until you start making your own game.

Right.

I've got to take that call.

Right.

Jerry, how you doing? It's Michael Morgan with Kahn and Partners.

Well, how's it been going, Michael?

Great, great. Thanks for asking.

Listen, I need you to make a copy of the key for me really quick.

Glad to help you out.

Yeah? Great, thanks. I'll be right down.

Hi.

Hi.

I'm glad I ran into you.

I wanted to apologize.

You know, you get caught up with a fantasy.

Excuse me. Sorry I'm late.

I'm on it.

I'm on it.

Nothing real will do.

No one real.

I understand.

It's all right.

No, I hurt you a lot.

You hurt yourself a lot more, Michael.

Yeah.

I gotta go.

Michael?

Call me?

Ron Hill.

Nick was right.

Did you get the present I left for you?

Don't even start with me.

Nick was right.

There really is no other way.

What do you want?

Get dressed.

What are we doing here?

I want to show you something.

You remember this spot here, don't you?

Yes. This is the place I told you I love you. And I do love you, Suzanne.

I love you, too.

You don't have to lie to me.

You've already shown me I don't deserve your love.

I don't even deserve to live.

But I'm going to have to take you with me. Michael, please.

Suzanne. Suzanne, are you okay?

Are you all right?

Yes. Suzanne, do you love me?

Yes. Yes.

You might as well. Michael, I'll kill you.

It'll be better that way.

Don't make me do this, Michael.

Nick was right.

You dick!

It was my turn!

Yes!

Oh, shit!

Now we're even.

Oh, but I thought you liked to play games.

It's over, Nick.

Never over, guy.

I got her, Nick.

You got her. I got her good.

You over her?

Yes.

You'll never be over her.

Well, you're over her, aren't you?

Maybe.

All right, take it easy on me. Oh, take it easy. Sick.

Come on. Ah!

Police, don't move! I said don't move!

What could it be? He's already asleep!

What's going on out there? Get off the bed on your knees!

Get off the bed on your knees! Wait, this is crazy, man.

You just couldn't leave her alone, could you? No, wait. This is a game. Just give

me an excuse to use this! No, look, it's fake. It's just a game. Turn around!

Turn around!

Put your hands on top of your head.

You're under arrest for aggravated assault.

What are you doing, man?

Here,

this is... I have rights.

You lost your rights when you beat up that woman.

Mikey. Mikey. I can call you Mikey, right? Please, you've got to believe me.

You know what?

I could lock you up, Mike. But you don't want to be out again in the day beating

up other women. Oh, you know what, Mike?

I'd just blow you away forever.

No, this is murder!

See ya!

Wouldn't want to be ya!

No!

Touché, asshole.

Now we're even.

Come here, sweetie.

a new replacement.

Peace.
