1
00:00:13,820 --> 00:00:15,000
Let them all speculate.

2
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,240
Rumors are far more interesting than the
truth, even in this crowd.

3
00:00:18,580 --> 00:00:21,800
The only reason this crowd bots
communicate is to look for their names

4
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,420
column. Well, tell them I'm on hiatus
while I produce Mark Merrill's play.

5
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,080
I don't think you realize just how risky
investing in a play can be. You could

6
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:31,760
stand to lose a lot of money.

7
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,080
What's money when it's someone else's?

8
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:36,900
Really? You have investors?

9
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:38,400
I have my sources.

10
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,680
God's a thought of other people's money
in your hand.

11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,820
You can't even hold on to a pair of
earrings.

12
00:00:48,940 --> 00:00:51,040
Oh, damn, my favorite pair of Lisa
Jenks.

13
00:00:51,420 --> 00:00:52,420
Do you want me to help you look?

14
00:00:53,460 --> 00:00:54,920
I'm sure someone will find it.

15
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:56,640
I'm lucky that way.

16
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:25,520
Here we go.

17
00:01:30,100 --> 00:01:31,420
So what did you do all evening?

18
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:38,140
Grading papers, working on my play,
making dinner, not necessarily in that

19
00:01:38,140 --> 00:01:39,140
order.

20
00:01:39,380 --> 00:01:42,040
Oh, and Carrie stopped by earlier.

21
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,280
She's actually got some pretty good
ideas.

22
00:01:45,540 --> 00:01:46,720
It's all very exciting.

23
00:01:47,500 --> 00:01:50,600
Except for one continuous aching
annoyance.

24
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,000
And what's that?

25
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,100
I miss my wife.

26
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:02,160
What's the matter?

27
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,780
I just need a few minutes in a hot tub.

28
00:02:07,460 --> 00:02:08,459
Doing what?

29
00:03:26,190 --> 00:03:33,110
Passion, love, sex, lovey, violence,
religion, justice, and death.

30
00:03:36,950 --> 00:03:42,950
I called

31
00:03:42,950 --> 00:03:51,550
the

32
00:03:51,550 --> 00:03:54,710
Globe to get Alex's number. They'd
already dumped their file. Good

33
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:56,720
Hey, she's not as bad as she seems.

34
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:58,840
You know what our problem is, Peter?

35
00:03:59,940 --> 00:04:04,280
We delude ourselves into thinking that
women are actually warm, sincere, loving

36
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:09,500
creatures. Then along comes someone like
Alex or Deanne, and it's like, reality

37
00:04:09,500 --> 00:04:10,500
check.

38
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,300
So what are you trying to say?

39
00:04:13,660 --> 00:04:15,120
Never deal with the female species.

40
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,339
I mean, beyond procreation, I guess.

41
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,040
By God, I think I'm in love.

42
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,060
Hey, I don't think you're in need of the
Heimlich maneuver unless that ice

43
00:04:33,060 --> 00:04:34,200
cube's stuck in your throat.

44
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:35,900
If it is, it's melted by now.

45
00:04:40,260 --> 00:04:45,580
How you doing?

46
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,200
You're Peter Fairchild, aren't you?

47
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:52,400
Yeah.

48
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:54,480
Rachel Dennis.

49
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,320
Carrie's friend from boarding school.

50
00:04:57,100 --> 00:04:58,100
I'm meeting her here.

51
00:04:58,570 --> 00:04:59,570
Rachel, wow.

52
00:05:00,770 --> 00:05:01,870
It's been a long time.

53
00:05:02,390 --> 00:05:03,390
You've grown up.

54
00:05:03,710 --> 00:05:06,630
I'd say we've both grown up, and rather
nicely, I might add.

55
00:05:07,330 --> 00:05:09,910
Um, Gil Chase, Peter's dear old friend.

56
00:05:10,990 --> 00:05:12,750
Amazing. It didn't scar.

57
00:05:13,790 --> 00:05:14,790
What didn't scar?

58
00:05:15,390 --> 00:05:18,910
A cut, if I remember correctly, on the
right side of the chin. When we were

59
00:05:18,910 --> 00:05:20,170
skiing, you starred with Kerry.

60
00:05:20,470 --> 00:05:23,250
Poor boy hit an ice patch, left a trail
of blood.

61
00:05:23,970 --> 00:05:25,750
Spring break years ago.

62
00:05:26,330 --> 00:05:27,330
Lucky me, huh?

63
00:05:27,710 --> 00:05:30,790
Oh, I don't know. Sometimes a little
scar can be sexy on the right face.

64
00:05:31,010 --> 00:05:32,010
You see this?

65
00:05:32,130 --> 00:05:34,370
I got that when I was playing third base
in Little League.

66
00:05:36,550 --> 00:05:38,550
So, Rachel, what are you doing in New
York?

67
00:05:39,030 --> 00:05:41,490
Oh, I thought you knew. I'm the new
fashion editor at Communique.

68
00:05:42,490 --> 00:05:43,490
That's wonderful. Congratulations.

69
00:05:44,130 --> 00:05:45,370
And I'm rooming with your sister.

70
00:05:46,170 --> 00:05:47,930
Temporarily, at least, until I find my
own place.

71
00:05:48,230 --> 00:05:49,250
Must be like old times.

72
00:05:49,830 --> 00:05:50,830
Almost.

73
00:05:52,390 --> 00:05:54,090
Anyway, it was fantastic seeing you
again, Peter.

74
00:05:54,910 --> 00:05:55,910
Don't be a stranger.

75
00:06:01,420 --> 00:06:03,860
Your childhood friends were the love of
my life.

76
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,020
Bill, I hardly even know her.

77
00:06:07,140 --> 00:06:08,780
Well, I'm about to.

78
00:06:13,380 --> 00:06:16,360
We're cutting two paragraphs from the
body of the piece, but otherwise I'm not

79
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:17,360
touching it.

80
00:06:17,700 --> 00:06:19,720
I think Christopher did a wonderful job.

81
00:06:21,500 --> 00:06:23,680
No, I absolutely will call and tell him
myself.

82
00:06:23,980 --> 00:06:25,840
Okay. Talk to you soon.

83
00:06:28,660 --> 00:06:30,100
Want to see me? Yeah.

84
00:06:30,750 --> 00:06:32,830
This is personal business, so I'll keep
it short.

85
00:06:33,230 --> 00:06:34,230
How unusual.

86
00:06:34,750 --> 00:06:38,630
The theater you booked to produce Mark's
play has never even heard of you.

87
00:06:39,670 --> 00:06:41,170
And there's no production scheduled.

88
00:06:41,870 --> 00:06:43,570
Well, there must be some kind of mix
-up.

89
00:06:43,810 --> 00:06:44,810
Where'd you get your information?

90
00:06:46,290 --> 00:06:47,350
I went to the theater.

91
00:06:48,910 --> 00:06:49,910
Personally.

92
00:06:50,310 --> 00:06:52,150
You have no right to spy on me.

93
00:06:52,410 --> 00:06:54,610
And you have no right to play games with
my husband.

94
00:06:55,730 --> 00:06:56,730
Games?

95
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:02,360
Where'd you find it?

96
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:03,880
Right where you left off.

97
00:07:04,940 --> 00:07:07,400
I saw Mark yesterday. I must have lost
it then.

98
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:08,960
Yes, I know.

99
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,000
We tell each other everything.

100
00:07:12,380 --> 00:07:14,580
It's very comforting to be with a man
you trust.

101
00:07:15,460 --> 00:07:18,520
Of course, that's probably beyond your
experience or capability.

102
00:07:19,860 --> 00:07:21,740
Now, are you going to tell Mark the
truth or am I?

103
00:07:22,740 --> 00:07:24,480
I guess you're not leaving me with much
choice.

104
00:07:53,630 --> 00:07:56,030
Leland Hopkins, please. Carrie Fairchild
calling.

105
00:07:56,270 --> 00:07:57,270
One moment, please.

106
00:07:57,590 --> 00:07:59,530
Hello? Leland, it's Carrie.

107
00:07:59,730 --> 00:08:00,689
How are you?

108
00:08:00,690 --> 00:08:01,950
Fabulous. How's the theater?

109
00:08:02,230 --> 00:08:03,250
Even more fabulous.

110
00:08:03,750 --> 00:08:06,530
That's wonderful. Listen, Leland, I need
a small favor.

111
00:08:12,650 --> 00:08:14,490
So you actually sold this one, too?

112
00:08:14,950 --> 00:08:16,710
I sold the entire show.

113
00:08:17,110 --> 00:08:21,430
This is no accounting for taste. As if
you had any. Now, to what do I owe the

114
00:08:21,430 --> 00:08:22,430
honor of this visit?

115
00:08:22,970 --> 00:08:25,230
I want you to be the first to know that
I'm in love.

116
00:08:25,930 --> 00:08:28,070
Oh, God. Who is this poor girl?

117
00:08:28,350 --> 00:08:29,329
Rachel Dennis.

118
00:08:29,330 --> 00:08:30,249
Do you know her?

119
00:08:30,250 --> 00:08:34,429
I know that she's not some airhead model
who will succumb to your devastating

120
00:08:34,429 --> 00:08:36,549
charm. What's that supposed to mean?

121
00:08:37,070 --> 00:08:40,950
She's a world -class fashion editor with
a world -class divorce settlement

122
00:08:40,950 --> 00:08:41,970
coming her way.

123
00:08:42,250 --> 00:08:45,950
Who needs a nice Wall Street broker to
help her invest and forget?

124
00:08:46,410 --> 00:08:47,410
You're dreaming.

125
00:08:47,970 --> 00:08:49,330
What are you saying? I'm not good
enough?

126
00:08:49,710 --> 00:08:54,370
No, it's just that she's obviously a
very ambitious lady whose criterion in

127
00:08:54,370 --> 00:08:56,470
extends far beyond romance.

128
00:08:57,250 --> 00:09:01,870
God, you make it sound so calculating. I
mean, you're beautiful, successful,

129
00:09:02,110 --> 00:09:05,130
ambitious. You're not going to go date
some guy just because he's got money or

130
00:09:05,130 --> 00:09:06,130
power.

131
00:09:06,810 --> 00:09:07,810
Excuse me.

132
00:09:12,850 --> 00:09:13,850
Nicky Sheridan.

133
00:09:14,050 --> 00:09:19,150
I cannot stop thinking about your thighs
as I run my tongue in the back of...

134
00:09:21,260 --> 00:09:24,840
I agree. That is a wonderful picture.
Certainly one of my favorites.

135
00:09:25,180 --> 00:09:28,280
I'll meet you at the gallery at 8, but
I've only got an hour. Linda's dragging

136
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:29,280
me to some benefit.

137
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,320
I'm not sure if I can make it then. I'm
meeting with a client.

138
00:09:32,680 --> 00:09:33,680
Damn right you are.

139
00:09:34,100 --> 00:09:35,100
Me.

140
00:09:39,560 --> 00:09:40,560
Clients.

141
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,500
Sometimes I wonder if they're worth all
the aggravation.

142
00:09:43,860 --> 00:09:45,980
You should meet some of the jerks that
I've got to deal with.

143
00:09:46,740 --> 00:09:47,740
Part of the game.

144
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:50,520
I guess.

145
00:10:09,710 --> 00:10:10,710
Bad news first, okay?

146
00:10:11,870 --> 00:10:13,170
Yeah, I guess. What's wrong?

147
00:10:13,830 --> 00:10:15,070
I feel terrible, Mark.

148
00:10:15,570 --> 00:10:18,370
All my negotiations for the theater were
with the wrong person.

149
00:10:19,530 --> 00:10:22,630
It was someone who loved your play but
had absolutely no authority to make any

150
00:10:22,630 --> 00:10:24,530
decisions. And I believe them.

151
00:10:25,430 --> 00:10:27,390
So what are you saying? The theater's
out?

152
00:10:28,530 --> 00:10:29,530
Yes, for now.

153
00:10:30,150 --> 00:10:33,730
You know, Carrie, maybe we should just
rethink this whole arrangement.

154
00:10:34,210 --> 00:10:35,210
Well, wait.

155
00:10:36,070 --> 00:10:37,250
Don't you want to hear the good news?

156
00:10:38,010 --> 00:10:39,010
There is any.

157
00:10:39,689 --> 00:10:43,350
Tomorrow night, the Hampton Theatre
Company will present a stage greeting of

158
00:10:43,350 --> 00:10:44,350
your play.

159
00:10:44,370 --> 00:10:45,370
Stage greeting?

160
00:10:46,550 --> 00:10:47,550
So fast?

161
00:10:47,870 --> 00:10:51,050
How? Well, the piece they scheduled fell
through at the last minute.

162
00:10:51,270 --> 00:10:52,430
So everything's in place.

163
00:10:52,670 --> 00:10:54,550
We have to move quickly. Are you on
board?

164
00:10:54,990 --> 00:10:58,030
I don't know. It just sounds so last
minute.

165
00:10:58,490 --> 00:10:59,630
Well, what are your reservations?

166
00:11:00,090 --> 00:11:01,570
No, no, no. No reservations.

167
00:11:06,110 --> 00:11:07,250
Why not? Let's do it.

168
00:11:07,630 --> 00:11:10,780
Fabulous. You and Stephanie will stay
with me at our family cottage in

169
00:11:10,780 --> 00:11:14,640
Southampton. That sounds nice. I'll talk
to Stephanie and... Let me know.

170
00:11:15,820 --> 00:11:17,560
Don't lose faith in me yet, Mr. Merrill.

171
00:11:29,380 --> 00:11:32,960
I just landed an exclusive first look at
the Milan Spring Collection.

172
00:11:33,460 --> 00:11:35,200
Brilliant, isn't it? That's fantastic.

173
00:11:35,900 --> 00:11:36,900
How'd you do it?

174
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,680
Hopefully, Stephanie, I didn't lose my
connections at British Vogue by moving

175
00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:40,680
here.

176
00:11:40,820 --> 00:11:42,720
Can I get five pages of next week's
issue?

177
00:11:43,140 --> 00:11:44,140
I'll let you know.

178
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:46,840
What's my competition?

179
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:49,520
Circulation figures.

180
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,200
Rachel, don't ever take things off my
desk.

181
00:11:52,940 --> 00:11:53,940
I'm sorry.

182
00:11:54,140 --> 00:11:55,460
You know, I didn't mean to pry.

183
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,220
No. No.

184
00:11:58,440 --> 00:11:59,440
I'm sorry.

185
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:00,820
Is everything all right?

186
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,200
It's just... Yes.

187
00:12:07,180 --> 00:12:08,180
Thanks for the scoop.

188
00:12:09,420 --> 00:12:11,000
I'll get to these as soon as possible.

189
00:12:11,580 --> 00:12:12,580
You got it.

190
00:12:28,380 --> 00:12:29,960
Good afternoon, Mr. Rush's office.

191
00:12:30,500 --> 00:12:31,880
Hi, it's Stephanie Wells calling.

192
00:12:32,900 --> 00:12:35,680
I need to set up a meeting with Mr. Rush
as soon as possible.

193
00:12:36,609 --> 00:12:37,609
It's urgent.

194
00:12:49,150 --> 00:12:50,150
Hey, honey.

195
00:12:50,590 --> 00:12:51,650
Sorry I'm late.

196
00:12:52,270 --> 00:12:53,450
Today was hellish.

197
00:12:53,670 --> 00:12:55,150
Well, mine was no picnic either.

198
00:12:55,810 --> 00:12:56,810
Is everything okay?

199
00:12:56,910 --> 00:12:59,670
Something from the bar? Vodka martini,
dry up, two olives.

200
00:13:01,590 --> 00:13:02,590
Oh, my God.

201
00:13:02,750 --> 00:13:04,130
I'm turning into my father.

202
00:13:04,590 --> 00:13:06,250
Oh, that is one frightening thought.

203
00:13:08,170 --> 00:13:09,230
So, what happened?

204
00:13:10,170 --> 00:13:11,170
You first.

205
00:13:11,990 --> 00:13:14,610
Well, Carrie met me after school with
some bad news.

206
00:13:15,690 --> 00:13:17,370
Tell me. The theater fell through.

207
00:13:19,710 --> 00:13:21,230
I'm sorry, honey.

208
00:13:22,050 --> 00:13:25,010
I knew you were asking for trouble the
minute you got involved with that girl.

209
00:13:25,070 --> 00:13:26,110
She's nothing but talk.

210
00:13:26,430 --> 00:13:30,090
Well, not quite. She's already arranged
for a staged reading at a theater out in

211
00:13:30,090 --> 00:13:31,090
the Hamptons tomorrow night.

212
00:13:32,170 --> 00:13:36,830
What? Yeah, I don't know how she threw
it together so quickly, but she's

213
00:13:36,830 --> 00:13:38,370
us to their family cottage.

214
00:13:38,830 --> 00:13:41,310
And somehow I don't think we're talking
fast roof here.

215
00:13:43,690 --> 00:13:45,470
Well, I can see that you're just
thrilled.

216
00:13:47,010 --> 00:13:49,470
Oh, I am. I just wish I'd known earlier.

217
00:13:50,150 --> 00:13:51,610
Now I'm not sure I can make it.

218
00:13:52,430 --> 00:13:53,430
Why not?

219
00:13:54,670 --> 00:13:57,430
I scheduled an urgent meeting with Alan
Rush for tomorrow night.

220
00:13:58,570 --> 00:13:59,950
Well, can't you change it?

221
00:14:01,450 --> 00:14:03,110
You know those reports I've been
devouring?

222
00:14:03,810 --> 00:14:08,250
They're circulation figures, and they're
full of discrepancies. Big, frightening

223
00:14:08,250 --> 00:14:12,270
discrepancies. I wish I hadn't even
noticed, but now that I have, I have to

224
00:14:12,270 --> 00:14:13,270
sure that Alan's aware.

225
00:14:14,250 --> 00:14:17,910
Why do you always feel it necessary to
go above and beyond the call of duty?

226
00:14:19,350 --> 00:14:22,050
Surprisingly enough, some people
actually find that an asset.

227
00:14:23,150 --> 00:14:24,970
I just don't want you to miss this,
that's all.

228
00:14:26,870 --> 00:14:29,830
I'll call Alan first thing tomorrow, see
if this can't wait till Monday.

229
00:14:32,479 --> 00:14:35,300
Thanks. Hey, I wouldn't ask if it wasn't
important to me.

230
00:14:37,620 --> 00:14:38,620
I know.

231
00:14:42,220 --> 00:14:43,300
Here you go. Thanks.

232
00:15:43,500 --> 00:15:44,500
Yeah, hi, it's me.

233
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,420
Things are moving along quicker than
expected.

234
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:48,800
Grab a pencil, darling.

235
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,540
I'm only going to say this once.

236
00:16:02,420 --> 00:16:04,660
I'd love to join you, but I've got an 8
a .m. deposition.

237
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,340
It's okay. I just need your expert
advice.

238
00:16:06,660 --> 00:16:07,660
What's the problem?

239
00:16:07,980 --> 00:16:08,859
Rachel Dennis.

240
00:16:08,860 --> 00:16:11,100
This is getting real boring. I need a
strategy.

241
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:12,360
Ask her out to dinner.

242
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,800
No, the thing is, I gotta get to know
her first, and without a little help

243
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,200
my friends, our paths are never gonna
cross.

244
00:16:17,460 --> 00:16:18,299
I see.

245
00:16:18,300 --> 00:16:20,320
Well, you may be in love.

246
00:16:21,940 --> 00:16:24,840
Is that the key to her heart? No, the
key's to my family's house in the

247
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,260
Hamptons. Carrie's spending the weekend
there. I was supposed to drop this off

248
00:16:28,260 --> 00:16:32,400
by myself, but if you'd like to
messenger it over for me, you may just

249
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,260
her houseguest, Rachel Dennis.

250
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:36,280
You gonna be there?

251
00:16:36,820 --> 00:16:40,020
Unfortunately, no. The Central Park
Arboretum's holding the benefit tonight.

252
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:41,280
I'm on the committee.

253
00:16:41,550 --> 00:16:43,210
There's no way I can bathe her. That's
too bad.

254
00:16:43,730 --> 00:16:44,730
I owe you one, buddy.

255
00:16:45,250 --> 00:16:48,350
Just get over there now before she
leaves for work. I'm on my way.

256
00:16:52,950 --> 00:16:58,910
Who is it?

257
00:16:59,830 --> 00:17:00,830
Hey,

258
00:17:03,070 --> 00:17:04,070
come in.

259
00:17:04,589 --> 00:17:05,609
What are you doing here?

260
00:17:06,010 --> 00:17:07,490
Peter asked me to drop these off for
you.

261
00:17:07,849 --> 00:17:09,190
For your weekend in the Hamptons.

262
00:17:10,380 --> 00:17:12,740
Is this some kind of backwards attempt
at getting an invitation?

263
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,800
Well, now that you insist, yes, I'd love
to join you.

264
00:17:16,599 --> 00:17:19,160
We'll be leaving from the downtown
heliport at 5 o 'clock sharp.

265
00:17:19,819 --> 00:17:20,819
I'll be there.

266
00:17:21,140 --> 00:17:22,920
Carrie, do you have a white silk blouse?

267
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,940
Yeah, underneath the Agnes B. jacket you
borrowed yesterday.

268
00:17:26,859 --> 00:17:27,859
Thanks, you're welcome.

269
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,760
Hey, Rachel, Gilchase. Nice to see you
again.

270
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:32,560
Lovely seeing you.

271
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,400
So, are you going to be joining us in
the Hamptons this weekend?

272
00:17:36,150 --> 00:17:38,130
You were planning a weekend without me?

273
00:17:38,410 --> 00:17:41,910
Not really. The Hamptons Theatre is
doing a reading of Mark Merrill's play.

274
00:17:42,150 --> 00:17:44,990
At first it was just going to be Peter,
Nicky and I, and now it seems to be

275
00:17:44,990 --> 00:17:46,070
turning into a house party.

276
00:17:46,550 --> 00:17:47,550
Is it?

277
00:17:47,750 --> 00:17:49,690
Well, I could certainly use a weekend
away.

278
00:17:50,250 --> 00:17:51,870
Do you think you've got room for one
whole guest?

279
00:17:52,410 --> 00:17:53,410
I do.

280
00:17:55,310 --> 00:17:56,310
Definitely.

281
00:17:57,650 --> 00:17:58,890
There's always room for you, Rachel.

282
00:17:59,750 --> 00:18:01,410
Great. I'll go throw some things
together then.

283
00:18:02,950 --> 00:18:03,950
I'll see you out there.

284
00:18:05,439 --> 00:18:06,419
You too.

285
00:18:06,420 --> 00:18:08,640
I'm so glad you'll be there to support
Mark's play.

286
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,000
See ya.

287
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:18,920
Yes, yes.

288
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,320
Tell Mr. Rush I'll be meeting him this
evening as scheduled.

289
00:18:23,500 --> 00:18:24,920
And I'm sorry for the confusion.

290
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:26,480
Of course, as well. Thank you.

291
00:18:27,620 --> 00:18:28,620
Damn it.

292
00:18:29,620 --> 00:18:31,840
Yeah, Steph, where do you keep your
bathing suits?

293
00:18:32,140 --> 00:18:33,140
You'll find one anyway.

294
00:18:33,460 --> 00:18:34,640
Any, uh...

295
00:18:34,910 --> 00:18:36,010
I have some bad news.

296
00:18:36,910 --> 00:18:38,510
Alan won't reschedule. I'm sorry.

297
00:18:39,430 --> 00:18:40,430
Really?

298
00:18:40,850 --> 00:18:43,750
Well, I can't say I'm not disappointed.

299
00:18:44,530 --> 00:18:46,950
Look, if it weren't so urgent, it'd be a
different situation.

300
00:18:47,730 --> 00:18:49,610
You don't need to explain.

301
00:18:49,830 --> 00:18:52,630
Just, I'm going to miss you. That's all.

302
00:18:53,230 --> 00:18:54,230
Me too.

303
00:18:55,410 --> 00:18:57,810
But I know you're going to be a huge hit
tonight.

304
00:19:02,410 --> 00:19:04,810
Do you remember what time I met you for
dinner last night?

305
00:19:05,550 --> 00:19:07,410
No, it was 9, 9 .31.

306
00:19:08,830 --> 00:19:11,850
Looks like someone accessed my computer
at 10 o 'clock last night.

307
00:19:12,430 --> 00:19:14,810
Well, maybe the cleaning lady is surfing
the internet.

308
00:19:16,590 --> 00:19:17,590
Yeah, maybe.

309
00:19:17,910 --> 00:19:19,150
All right, look, I gotta go.

310
00:19:20,830 --> 00:19:21,830
I'll call you tonight.

311
00:19:21,990 --> 00:19:22,990
I love you.

312
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,260
I'm sorry Stephanie couldn't make it.

313
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,860
Well, you've got your stepfather to
thank for that.

314
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,640
I have my stepfather to thank for a lot
of things.

315
00:19:46,980 --> 00:19:48,480
Geez, what did you do, pack for a month?

316
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,300
These tiny cups just have weight limits,
you know. Just give it to me.

317
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:56,339
After you.

318
00:19:56,340 --> 00:19:57,340
All right.

319
00:20:01,300 --> 00:20:02,660
Wait a sec, what about Rachel?

320
00:20:03,540 --> 00:20:06,360
I don't know, but if she doesn't show up
in the next 30 seconds, we're taking

321
00:20:06,360 --> 00:20:07,360
off without her.

322
00:20:11,500 --> 00:20:12,500
There she is.

323
00:20:13,980 --> 00:20:14,980
Oh, my God.

324
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,600
Sorry, traffic was horrendous. Carrie
was ready to take off without you. I

325
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:19,600
convinced her to wait.

326
00:20:19,620 --> 00:20:22,480
I don't think Peter would have allowed
that to happen. Peter's not coming.

327
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:24,560
No, why not?

328
00:20:24,860 --> 00:20:28,620
He had to show up for some charity event
for the Central Park Arboretum.

329
00:20:29,580 --> 00:20:32,200
Oh, yeah, the Arboretum. Very worthwhile
cause.

330
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:33,640
If you like trees.

331
00:20:35,780 --> 00:20:39,460
Hi, I just came by to tell everyone that
unfortunately I'm not going to be able

332
00:20:39,460 --> 00:20:40,379
to make it.

333
00:20:40,380 --> 00:20:44,320
But I wish you a lovely time and best of
luck with your plane, Mark. Thank you.

334
00:20:44,940 --> 00:20:45,940
Bye.

335
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:47,320
Bye.

336
00:20:48,180 --> 00:20:49,180
Have fun.

337
00:20:50,820 --> 00:20:51,579
Let's go.

338
00:20:51,580 --> 00:20:52,620
Wait a second. What happened?

339
00:20:53,020 --> 00:20:54,020
Come on.

340
00:21:09,629 --> 00:21:12,430
You'll get.

341
00:21:52,970 --> 00:21:55,530
Law school should prepare you for
anything you want to do, Peter.

342
00:21:55,750 --> 00:21:58,730
There's nothing at Harvard Law that
quite prepares you for a hostile jury

343
00:21:58,730 --> 00:21:59,990
distrusts your every word.

344
00:22:00,770 --> 00:22:01,890
What about politics?

345
00:22:02,310 --> 00:22:05,830
Politics is an option, but right now I
like the idea that I'm actually doing

346
00:22:05,830 --> 00:22:07,830
something rather than running for
something.

347
00:22:08,430 --> 00:22:12,650
Of course, if my father were still here,
I think we all know how he'd feel about

348
00:22:12,650 --> 00:22:13,650
that.

349
00:22:14,610 --> 00:22:15,850
Would you excuse me, please?

350
00:22:18,930 --> 00:22:20,890
Alex, what are you doing here?

351
00:22:21,230 --> 00:22:22,730
I'm on the benefit committee. Can't you
tell?

352
00:22:22,990 --> 00:22:26,510
Wait a second. I need to talk to you.
Not now. I can't afford to lose this

353
00:22:26,750 --> 00:22:28,670
Come on. I've been trying to reach you.
Where have you been?

354
00:22:29,130 --> 00:22:30,130
Pounding the pavement.

355
00:22:30,770 --> 00:22:33,270
Unfortunately, when you get fired from
the Globe, the New York Times isn't

356
00:22:33,270 --> 00:22:34,530
exactly banging down your door.

357
00:22:34,810 --> 00:22:35,810
What can I do?

358
00:22:36,510 --> 00:22:37,770
Stay out of my life, please.

359
00:22:38,330 --> 00:22:40,090
Sorry. I can't do that.

360
00:22:41,270 --> 00:22:42,270
Peter!

361
00:22:42,750 --> 00:22:43,750
What a surprise.

362
00:22:44,190 --> 00:22:49,310
I thought you'd be with Carrie in the
Hamptons. No, I promised to be here.

363
00:22:49,810 --> 00:22:53,150
Rachel, I'd like to introduce you to...
I'll have another vodka tonic, please.

364
00:22:54,090 --> 00:22:55,090
Coming right up.

365
00:22:55,690 --> 00:22:56,690
I'll find you later.

366
00:22:58,270 --> 00:23:00,350
No, darling, they find us. That's their
job.

367
00:23:01,150 --> 00:23:02,730
Now, who did you want to introduce me
to?

368
00:23:02,990 --> 00:23:04,830
I swear I don't know a single soul.

369
00:23:06,270 --> 00:23:08,690
Judging from the attention you're
getting, a lot of men wish that wasn't

370
00:23:08,690 --> 00:23:09,690
case.

371
00:23:12,350 --> 00:23:13,350
Thank you.

372
00:23:14,090 --> 00:23:15,090
Alex,

373
00:23:16,770 --> 00:23:17,850
there you are. We've got to talk.

374
00:23:18,300 --> 00:23:21,740
So talk, but you gotta do it while I'm
pushing baby quiche. If you never want

375
00:23:21,740 --> 00:23:25,680
see me again, tell me now and I'll stop
harassing the hell out of you. Of course

376
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,740
I want to see you again, but this wasn't
exactly the rendezvous I had in mind.

377
00:23:28,940 --> 00:23:30,360
Then let's discuss our options.

378
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,640
I can't talk to you here. I have to
work.

379
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,140
What time do you get off?

380
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:37,520
Around one.

381
00:23:38,020 --> 00:23:39,420
Will you meet me at the Zink Bar
downtown?

382
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:41,640
I think so.

383
00:23:43,420 --> 00:23:44,420
Yeah.

384
00:23:45,940 --> 00:23:46,940
Fine.

385
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:48,560
I'll be waiting.

386
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:50,400
Okay.

387
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:52,400
I'll see you then.

388
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:06,400
Stephanie,

389
00:24:10,820 --> 00:24:12,720
before you begin, can I give you a
little word of advice?

390
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:15,200
Absolutely.

391
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,820
Don't ever call an emergency meeting for
a Friday night and then try to

392
00:24:24,820 --> 00:24:25,820
reschedule.

393
00:24:27,100 --> 00:24:28,120
I apologize.

394
00:24:29,260 --> 00:24:32,840
Maybe she didn't tell you, but Carrie
arranged a reading of my husband's play

395
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,500
tonight in the hamper. Could we skip to
the urgent business?

396
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:38,160
Of course.

397
00:24:40,380 --> 00:24:44,280
Comparing advertising revenue with sales
figures, I discovered that our

398
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,540
newsstand and subscription sales are
down.

399
00:24:47,340 --> 00:24:53,620
But our internal audit says that
circulation is up over 100 ,000 copies.

400
00:24:53,620 --> 00:24:59,000
the surface, this discrepancy appears to
be to our advantage, but I'm nervous

401
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,280
how advertisers will react if they ever
find out.

402
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,480
Stephanie, if I was looking for an
accountant to run my magazine, I would

403
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:06,480
hired an MBA.

404
00:25:07,740 --> 00:25:09,780
I'm a detail -oriented person, Alan.

405
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:14,020
I oversaw every aspect of my publication
in Seattle. Now you're in New York.

406
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:16,840
Things run differently here.

407
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,740
I still have an obligation to our
advertiser. You have an obligation to

408
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,940
which is to focus on the content of the
magazine.

409
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,460
What's happening, what's hot, what
sells.

410
00:25:28,100 --> 00:25:30,440
You want to crunch numbers? Go balance
your checkbook.

411
00:25:31,420 --> 00:25:33,440
Fine. I think you made your point.

412
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,720
I just don't have time to explain the
intricacies of our accounting procedures

413
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:38,720
here.

414
00:25:38,820 --> 00:25:39,820
Understood.

415
00:25:40,500 --> 00:25:42,840
I'm terribly sorry to have wasted your
time.

416
00:25:43,060 --> 00:25:44,060
Not at all.

417
00:25:44,780 --> 00:25:46,640
I'm always available when you have a
problem.

418
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:49,940
Talk to you Monday morning.

419
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:52,280
Of course.

420
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:58,080
Have a nice weekend.

421
00:26:01,260 --> 00:26:04,680
Listen, thank you very much for coming.
It was a pleasure. Thank you for your

422
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,500
company's donation. The plaque's going
to look lovely at the Arboretum.

423
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:08,720
Thank you very much.

424
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:10,940
I understand it was your doing.

425
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:12,720
Thanks very much.

426
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:14,740
Have a lovely evening. Safe journey
home.

427
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:16,600
Jackson.

428
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:17,920
Peter.

429
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,820
I must say, I'm impressed.

430
00:26:23,100 --> 00:26:24,720
You really know how to work a crowd.

431
00:26:26,620 --> 00:26:29,680
Anything to make people part with their
money, as long as it's for a good cause.

432
00:26:30,020 --> 00:26:33,240
I mean, the way these Fortune 500 people
talk, you'd think treasury bills were

433
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:34,740
the most exciting thing on the planet.

434
00:26:35,060 --> 00:26:38,180
I know the feeling, except with me,
everyone wants to talk fashion.

435
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,000
I think your little fan club back there
would settle for any subject.

436
00:26:43,070 --> 00:26:46,070
If I'd wanted to hobnob with Eurotrash,
I never would have bothered to have left

437
00:26:46,070 --> 00:26:47,070
British Vogue.

438
00:26:47,330 --> 00:26:52,350
So, now that you've fulfilled your
philanthropic obligations, what's the

439
00:26:52,350 --> 00:26:55,710
stop on the old party set? Oh, Rachel,
Rachel, you've got the wrong fairchild.

440
00:26:56,030 --> 00:26:58,010
The next stop is my head hitting the
pillow.

441
00:26:58,610 --> 00:27:00,930
Well, I hate to waste such a lovely
evening.

442
00:27:01,470 --> 00:27:03,310
I think I'm going to walk all the way
home.

443
00:27:03,670 --> 00:27:04,970
All the way to Carrie's?

444
00:27:05,450 --> 00:27:07,550
In that, I don't think so.

445
00:27:08,110 --> 00:27:09,830
But a big brother you must have been.

446
00:27:10,490 --> 00:27:11,750
Of course, I wouldn't mind company.

447
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,700
Good. Because there's no way I'm letting
you walk home alone.

448
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,320
Okay, everybody, quiet, please.

449
00:27:29,260 --> 00:27:30,260
Quiet.

450
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:31,680
Thank you.

451
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,380
First, I want to thank you all for
coming to this celebration of a

452
00:27:38,380 --> 00:27:39,380
talent.

453
00:27:43,790 --> 00:27:47,310
You know how I feel about your work, and
tonight those feelings were shared by

454
00:27:47,310 --> 00:27:48,149
us all.

455
00:27:48,150 --> 00:27:53,030
Here's wishing you only successes in the
future, with me being responsible for

456
00:27:53,030 --> 00:27:54,030
all of them.

457
00:28:02,570 --> 00:28:03,169
How you doing?

458
00:28:03,170 --> 00:28:05,330
I don't know. My feet still haven't
touched the ground.

459
00:28:05,950 --> 00:28:07,630
I just wish Stephanie could have been
here.

460
00:28:07,870 --> 00:28:09,090
Me too. Maybe next time.

461
00:28:10,350 --> 00:28:13,390
Look at that guy. One success and his
head's like twice its normal size.

462
00:28:14,270 --> 00:28:16,370
Since when are we jealous of someone who
writes?

463
00:28:17,710 --> 00:28:19,170
What's wrong with you tonight, anyway?

464
00:28:19,390 --> 00:28:21,110
Hey, I was lured out here under false
pretenses.

465
00:28:22,110 --> 00:28:23,910
Still sulking about Rachel Dennis.

466
00:28:24,430 --> 00:28:25,530
Hey, I thought you'd be happy.

467
00:28:25,890 --> 00:28:26,829
I'm in love.

468
00:28:26,830 --> 00:28:28,310
I'll be happier when you grow up.

469
00:28:30,740 --> 00:28:33,040
Oh, excuse me. I'll be right back. Sure.

470
00:28:33,460 --> 00:28:34,460
Hello?

471
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:39,680
Hi, Carrie.

472
00:28:40,060 --> 00:28:41,060
It's Stephanie.

473
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,020
Hello? Can you hear me?

474
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,000
Yes, I can hear you just fine. You don't
have to shout.

475
00:28:48,180 --> 00:28:49,180
Sorry.

476
00:28:49,820 --> 00:28:50,820
Listen,

477
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:52,360
I'm still in the city.

478
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,240
Well, I certainly hope you're not
calling from here. We'd never forgive

479
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:56,240
missing Mark's reading.

480
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:58,240
So how'd it go?

481
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,000
What can I say? Your husband's a star.

482
00:29:01,260 --> 00:29:03,320
Everyone loves him as much as me. That's
wonderful.

483
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,860
Right now, I'd like to have a word with
the star himself.

484
00:29:07,380 --> 00:29:09,820
Sure. I'll try to find him. Don't go
away.

485
00:29:17,860 --> 00:29:18,260
I'm

486
00:29:18,260 --> 00:29:25,300
sorry,

487
00:29:25,540 --> 00:29:26,920
Steph. There's no sign of him anywhere.

488
00:29:27,380 --> 00:29:28,380
Well, okay.

489
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,400
We'll just... I

490
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:40,660
didn't

491
00:29:40,660 --> 00:29:42,220
realize it was such a long walk.

492
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:44,040
Sorry.

493
00:29:44,260 --> 00:29:45,280
I'm just a little beat.

494
00:29:45,940 --> 00:29:47,100
Well, yeah, this will help you sleep.

495
00:29:48,180 --> 00:29:50,100
I must say, Carrie only buys the best.

496
00:29:50,980 --> 00:29:52,700
You go ahead. I'll stick to water.

497
00:29:53,820 --> 00:29:56,080
Are you sure that you and Carrie are
really related?

498
00:29:58,379 --> 00:29:59,379
Now, where were we?

499
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,300
You and your ex -husband.

500
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:03,880
Oh, yes.

501
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,040
The less said about that one, the
better.

502
00:30:06,940 --> 00:30:10,480
Besides, if one can't find something
nice to say, one shouldn't say anything

503
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:11,480
all.

504
00:30:11,820 --> 00:30:12,820
He really hurt you.

505
00:30:14,300 --> 00:30:15,300
I'll be fine.

506
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,680
But no matter how mature we may think we
are, you don't know how devastating a

507
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,740
divorce is until you've actually gone
through one of your own.

508
00:30:22,300 --> 00:30:23,300
I wouldn't know.

509
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,320
And I don't ever plan to find out.

510
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:26,980
You remember that, Peter.

511
00:30:27,420 --> 00:30:28,420
When it go and get tough.

512
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:32,940
Am I detaining you from something?

513
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:34,800
Or someone?

514
00:30:35,660 --> 00:30:36,660
It's almost one.

515
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,140
I really should get home.

516
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,680
You know, I was watching you tonight,
Peter.

517
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:44,800
Do you know who you reminded me of?

518
00:30:46,620 --> 00:30:47,620
Your father.

519
00:30:48,380 --> 00:30:49,319
You knew him?

520
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,600
We met once. He came to the school to
visit Kerry.

521
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:53,800
I don't know why I remember it so well.

522
00:30:54,580 --> 00:30:56,960
But then again, he was hardly a man one
forgets.

523
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,260
Sometimes I feel like it's so far in the
past that maybe my mind's playing

524
00:31:00,260 --> 00:31:01,260
tricks.

525
00:31:02,140 --> 00:31:06,940
It's like I can't tell the difference
between what I hear about Dad and what I

526
00:31:06,940 --> 00:31:07,940
actually remember.

527
00:31:09,140 --> 00:31:12,440
I don't mind sharing him with the world,
but I still have the right to keep some

528
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:13,440
things for myself.

529
00:31:14,020 --> 00:31:15,020
Of course you do.

530
00:31:16,100 --> 00:31:17,760
But you already have the best thing of
all.

531
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:20,280
He's inside you.

532
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:21,600
I saw it tonight.

533
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:23,520
I hope so.

534
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:25,520
It's a comforting thought.

535
00:31:26,750 --> 00:31:27,750
Shall we taste through it?

536
00:31:29,130 --> 00:31:30,270
Rachel, I really gotta go.

537
00:31:34,530 --> 00:31:36,330
Let's plan something with Carrie when
she gets back.

538
00:31:38,270 --> 00:31:39,270
Good night, Peter.

539
00:31:39,610 --> 00:31:40,610
Sleep well.

540
00:31:58,860 --> 00:31:59,920
You're waiting there for someone.

541
00:32:00,380 --> 00:32:03,240
She's got long, dark, curly hair, rather
slim.

542
00:32:04,020 --> 00:32:06,300
Sort of attractive in a rather common
way.

543
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:09,440
Depends on what you consider common.

544
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,000
Then she's there.

545
00:32:11,460 --> 00:32:14,360
Would you tell her that Peter Fairchild
called to cancel?

546
00:32:14,900 --> 00:32:16,540
Oh, could you do me one last favor,
please?

547
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:18,940
Could you tell her that he made this
call himself?

548
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,220
I mean, there's no point in pouring salt
on the wound.

549
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,880
Okay, Peter called to cancel. I'll tell
her that.

550
00:32:24,300 --> 00:32:25,580
Thanks. You're a love.

551
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:10,340
If someone had told me six months ago
that I'd be where I am right now... You

552
00:33:10,340 --> 00:33:13,060
know, Mark, it's one thing to be humble
and honest, but why do you always have

553
00:33:13,060 --> 00:33:14,060
to sell yourself short?

554
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:16,280
I don't sell myself, period.

555
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:18,120
That's your job.

556
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,220
And you sure have done it well.

557
00:33:22,020 --> 00:33:23,580
All I've done is expose your work.

558
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:25,540
I'm not the genuine talent here.

559
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,160
You know, it's funny. Stephanie assigns
freelance pieces all the time.

560
00:33:32,910 --> 00:33:34,650
He thinks you'd be thrilled to give you
first crack.

561
00:33:35,950 --> 00:33:37,150
Conflict of interest, we agreed.

562
00:33:39,550 --> 00:33:42,430
But you said you needed exposure. I'm
just surprised you wouldn't try to help.

563
00:33:45,230 --> 00:33:46,530
What do you get out of all this?

564
00:33:49,230 --> 00:33:51,450
It's a nice change of pace to be taken
seriously.

565
00:33:53,790 --> 00:33:55,690
And to help someone whose talent I
respect.

566
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:12,980
I saved the best for last.

567
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:27,080
Gary?

568
00:34:51,690 --> 00:34:52,850
I don't know if this is a good idea.

569
00:34:57,610 --> 00:34:58,790
That's right. Take it off.

570
00:35:00,690 --> 00:35:04,110
Take it all off.

571
00:35:12,570 --> 00:35:13,570
What are you waiting for?

572
00:35:22,860 --> 00:35:23,860
This feels great.

573
00:35:29,900 --> 00:35:30,900
Carrie, what?

574
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:33,400
Carrie.

575
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:39,259
All right.

576
00:35:39,260 --> 00:35:42,280
That's very good. Now, give me back my
underwear.

577
00:35:43,220 --> 00:35:44,420
If you want them, come and get them.

578
00:36:05,070 --> 00:36:06,070
if you want them.

579
00:36:08,790 --> 00:36:12,210
Carrie, this has been a perfect evening.

580
00:36:13,330 --> 00:36:14,530
I planned it that way.

581
00:36:16,390 --> 00:36:17,890
That's why I don't want to spoil it.

582
00:36:18,610 --> 00:36:19,610
I know.

583
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:43,160
Thanks for tonight.

584
00:36:44,300 --> 00:36:45,300
And everything.

585
00:36:51,940 --> 00:36:53,160
Not quite everything.

586
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,180
Alex, what happened to you last night? I
showed up, you weren't there. I just

587
00:37:18,180 --> 00:37:19,300
wanted to make sure you're okay.

588
00:37:20,460 --> 00:37:21,520
I'm fine, thanks.

589
00:37:21,780 --> 00:37:22,800
And I was there.

590
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,040
And I got your message.

591
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,000
What message?

592
00:37:27,420 --> 00:37:29,620
Peter, I'm tired of playing games.

593
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:31,580
The truth is, this just isn't working.

594
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:33,440
That's your opinion?

595
00:37:33,540 --> 00:37:34,540
Yeah.

596
00:38:17,260 --> 00:38:18,420
I missed you this weekend.

597
00:38:20,300 --> 00:38:21,300
Hi, Owen.

598
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:28,280
Want something to drink?

599
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:30,160
No, I'm fine.

600
00:38:30,740 --> 00:38:31,740
Fine?

601
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:32,920
Fine

602
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:40,080
is

603
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:41,140
an understatement.

604
00:38:44,300 --> 00:38:45,600
What do you want to do for dinner?

605
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,240
Actually, that's what I came up here to
tell you.

606
00:38:50,220 --> 00:38:51,220
I've made other plans.

607
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:53,640
Excuse me?

608
00:38:54,640 --> 00:39:00,220
Alan, you've really come to mean a lot
to me in the last year, and we've had

609
00:39:00,220 --> 00:39:01,420
some times I'll never forget.

610
00:39:02,220 --> 00:39:04,420
But I think our relationship may have
run its course.

611
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:07,220
You met somebody this weekend?

612
00:39:08,300 --> 00:39:09,780
Alan, I told you I was with friends.

613
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:11,320
At my house?

614
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,180
That's right, your house.

615
00:39:13,839 --> 00:39:17,780
Your pool, your piece of Long Island. As
long as you're making a list of my

616
00:39:17,780 --> 00:39:19,420
holdings, let's not forget your gallery.

617
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,400
That is not fair, Alan.

618
00:39:21,980 --> 00:39:23,140
I made that gallery.

619
00:39:23,620 --> 00:39:25,400
Maybe you did, but I paid the rent.

620
00:39:25,740 --> 00:39:27,780
Well, look on the bright side.

621
00:39:28,180 --> 00:39:29,260
Now you won't have to.

622
00:39:30,340 --> 00:39:32,300
Listen to you, the big businesswoman.

623
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,080
Honey, you can just kiss that business
goodbye.

624
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:37,520
Is that a threat?

625
00:39:37,740 --> 00:39:38,740
Bet your ass.

626
00:39:38,980 --> 00:39:41,540
You know, I thought this was going to be
hard for me, Alan, but you just made it

627
00:39:41,540 --> 00:39:42,479
real easy.

628
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:43,368
Oh, no.

629
00:39:43,370 --> 00:39:44,810
This will be anything but easy.

630
00:40:00,850 --> 00:40:01,850
Stop.

631
00:40:03,190 --> 00:40:04,930
Hey. Back.

632
00:40:05,750 --> 00:40:06,750
I see.

633
00:40:08,190 --> 00:40:09,190
How'd it go?

634
00:40:09,500 --> 00:40:13,160
Fantastic. The audience loved it. They
laughed at the right places and then

635
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:14,160
applauded at the end.

636
00:40:14,420 --> 00:40:16,500
And then afterwards carried through this
great party.

637
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:18,660
That's what it sounded like when I
called.

638
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:20,480
You did?

639
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:22,100
I never got a message.

640
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,120
Somehow that didn't surprise me.

641
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:27,980
Still, you could have called this
morning.

642
00:40:28,900 --> 00:40:30,000
Let me know how it went.

643
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:34,280
I'm sorry. I overslept and barely made
the one o 'clock flight back.

644
00:40:35,540 --> 00:40:36,580
It's been quite a night.

645
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:39,700
Actually, yeah, yeah, it was.

646
00:40:42,620 --> 00:40:45,260
Well, I don't get it. Are you mad at me
or something?

647
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:52,920
You know, Mark, every day I have to go
into my office and be

648
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:54,940
the big boss.

649
00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:02,520
I have to be tough enough to get their
attention,

650
00:41:02,780 --> 00:41:05,220
smart enough to get their respect.

651
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,420
And human enough to feel good about
myself.

652
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:14,360
So I hope you understand.

653
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:19,740
It is very important for me to feel safe
at home.

654
00:41:21,100 --> 00:41:28,060
Because there's no way that I can keep
my guard up

655
00:41:28,060 --> 00:41:29,480
24 hours a day.

656
00:41:39,020 --> 00:41:40,340
I can't help my heart.

657
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:42,080
It's okay.

658
00:42:25,229 --> 00:42:26,910
I'd remarry my ex if I could wear that.

659
00:42:27,710 --> 00:42:28,710
That's great.

660
00:42:33,190 --> 00:42:34,190
Excuse us, Rachel.

661
00:42:39,330 --> 00:42:40,510
Alan, what is it? What's wrong?

662
00:42:40,810 --> 00:42:41,810
Read!

663
00:42:47,050 --> 00:42:50,630
Though both newsstand and subscription
sales of Communique have fallen, their

664
00:42:50,630 --> 00:42:54,150
circulation figures are somehow on the
rise, at least according to an internal

665
00:42:54,150 --> 00:42:56,890
report. A miracle or just the new math?

666
00:42:57,310 --> 00:43:01,190
Advertisers would like to know, as would
any adult who can count. My God, how

667
00:43:01,190 --> 00:43:02,490
did this happen? You tell me.

668
00:43:04,010 --> 00:43:05,630
I haven't discussed it with anyone.

669
00:43:05,870 --> 00:43:06,870
Not even your husband?

670
00:43:07,250 --> 00:43:09,030
Alan, that's crazy. In New York?

671
00:43:09,250 --> 00:43:10,310
Happens all the time.

672
00:43:11,370 --> 00:43:12,470
I don't know what to say.

673
00:43:16,170 --> 00:43:18,710
Except that last week somebody accessed
my computer.

674
00:43:19,070 --> 00:43:21,410
Then it's your job to find out who that
someone is.

675
00:43:43,210 --> 00:43:45,570
I'm not sure, Peter. I'll try to find
her.

676
00:43:46,700 --> 00:43:47,700
Is that Peter Fetcher?

677
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:49,180
Mm -hmm. I'll take it.

678
00:43:49,740 --> 00:43:51,020
But he's calling for Carrie.

679
00:43:51,260 --> 00:43:52,880
Well, then go and fetch her.

680
00:43:53,380 --> 00:43:55,360
And don't ever address me in that tone
again.

681
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:03,480
Rachel Dennis.

682
00:44:04,500 --> 00:44:06,380
Here. How sweet of you to call.

683
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:08,680
Oh, you were?

684
00:44:08,900 --> 00:44:10,280
Well, I don't think that she's in.

685
00:44:12,580 --> 00:44:15,480
Thanks again for Friday night. I really
enjoyed our talk.

686
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:18,240
When do we hit our next benefit?

687
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:20,500
Well, you made the last one bearable.

688
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:24,240
Listen, darling, I'm due in a meeting.

689
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,240
It was really nice to hear your voice
again. I'll speak to you soon.

690
00:44:29,340 --> 00:44:30,520
What are you doing at my desk?

691
00:44:31,700 --> 00:44:34,540
I'm sorry, my phone's been down all
morning. There's just no place around

692
00:44:34,540 --> 00:44:35,540
to have any privacy.

693
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:37,240
Which you need with Peter.

694
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:39,160
Why?

695
00:44:40,020 --> 00:44:43,240
Because I don't broadcast my
conversations with him or with anybody

696
00:44:44,870 --> 00:44:46,710
Rachel, I'm going to make this very
clear.

697
00:44:47,610 --> 00:44:51,330
You're welcome to stay at my loft for as

00:44:51,330 --> 00:44:52,810
clothes, drink my champagne.

You can run up my phone bills with
Transatlantic Call.

00:44:56,790 --> 00:44:57,870
You're welcome to anything.

Except my brother.

702
00:45:01,490 --> 00:45:05,050
No one's good enough for Peter. How
sweet. I didn't say no one.

00:45:05,610 --> 00:45:06,610
I said you.

Was it at that?
