Original subtitles

See that aspiring model? That was me, Deb,

until the day I died.

I thought I'd go straight to heaven,

but there was a bit of a mix-up

and I woke up in someone else's body.

So now I'm Jane,

a super-busy lawyer with my very own assistant.

I got a new life, a new wardrobe.

The only people who know what's going on with me

are my girlfriend, Stacy, and my guardian angel, Fred.

I used to think everything happened for a reason.

And, well, I sure hope I was right.

Ooh. New lipstick?

Smoke Red, Tom Ford.

Private Blend?I splurged.

So jealous. What's the occasion?

I'm becoming a rainmaker.

Isn't that a lawn sprinkler?

Someone who brings in a lot of money.

I just landed a great new client.

Her boss demoted her for being too old.

There should be a law against that.

There is. And she works for a company with deep pockets.

Deep pockets. So late '90s.

Different kind of pockets.I know. Just messing with you.

Anyway, the client saw one of my cases

online and called me.

I'm getting a reputation.

What's with the new lipstick?

Jane's getting a reputation. The good kind.

I gotta go make rain.Heh.

Good luck, sweetie.

Ah. Fred, how many times have I told you?

InStyle Magazine is not a coaster.

Sorry. Uh--

This was in the mailbox.Still?

Oh. It came a couple days ago.

And I left it there hoping that the mailman would take it back.

It's from your credit card company.

Says "final notice," all capital letters.

I know. They ruined the color pink forever.

How did this happen?Well,

I was all set to make the minimum payment of $150.

And?

Marc Jacobs ankle boots, 60 percent off.

Let me help. Can I loan you the money?

No, I can't take your money.

Good, because I don't have 150 bucks.

What if we ask Jane?I can't ask Jane again.

You could mail the shoes to the credit card company.

They were 60 percent off. Heh.

Cream, two sugars, right?

How did you know I was here?

Reflection in the microwave.Ooh.

Very Jason Bourne. I like it.

I'm former CIA. Don't tell.

Oh, you have a little something on your tie, Mr. Bourne.

Don't worry, no one saw. I checked the microwave.

Ms. Kaswell, be ready to update us

on the Hobbs divorce at the staff meeting.

Absolutely, Mr. Parker, sir. I'm on top of it.

Good day.

Crap, the Hobbs divorce.

Good morning. Code red.

Hobbs is waiting on us to pull the trigger on his divorce.

Get an expedited server to bring his wife papers.

Expedited? That's 175 bucks.

I don't care. I was supposed to do this days ago.

How could I forget?

Easy. You're in a new relationship.

Your brain is soaking in endorphins which never dissipate

because the object of your affection is a co-worker.

The question was rhetorical.

Hey, Stacy. How would you like to make 175 bucks?

It's our first house. We bought it from the bank.

It was a foreclosure. We thought it was a good deal.

But now you want out of it?We can't go back there, ever.

It's haunted.

Haunted?Well, there were issues

from the day we moved in.

Weird sounds, flickering lights.

And then two weeks ago...

I woke up and I saw a ghost standing by our bed.

Tracy screamed. I woke up.

But by then, whatever was there had disappeared.

It happened the next three nights.

We've been at a motel ever since.

Are you guys putting me on?

Is this some sort of practical joke?

You don't have to believe us.

You just have to help us. Please.

Let's move on to new business.

This isn't civics class, Bingum.

I'm sorry. I'm just so excited.

I have an age discrimination suit.

I like it. Keep talking.

She was a drug rep for Clasky Pharmaceuticals.

Clasky. They're Fortune 500. I'm falling in love with it.

She was arbitrarily demoted to a desk job

and replaced by a 24-year-old.

I see a seven-figure judgment.

We're on the right side of the issue.

So it's a win-win.I like to win-win.

Kaswell, lead.

Bingum, introductions.What?

Absolutely.No. This is my case.

Excited about the case. I get it.

Kim will be happy you're second chair.

Moving on, who else has pending litigation?

How does this happen?

I've been your second chair plenty.

The client's waiting in your office.

What's she doing here?She is meeting her client.

Parker made her first chair.

Teri, please, tell me that is not my client.

That's your age discrimination? How old is she?

And if she's over 50, who did her work?

She's 34.

A 34-year old suing for age discrimination?

Is this your way of sandbagging me?

Yes. I knew that you were going to steal my case,

so I cleverly arranged for my client to be 30 years younger

than I thought she'd be. I'm a diabolical genius.

That would be cool if you were.I know, right?

Well, after you, first chair.

Clasky recruited me right out of college

to sell heart medications.

In three years, I covered half of L.A. County.

So, what happened?I got older.

Once I hit 30,

they started handing off parts of my territory

and most of my commission--To younger salespeople?

Twenty-four-year-olds.

Clasky wants their reps to be young and cute.

Like most drug companies, they recruit a lot of

cheerleaders and pageant girls.

But they haven't fired you?

No, they exiled me to Customer Service.

My family...

depends on my income,

which is down 50 percent since they put me on a desk.

Can you think of any other reason

you might have been demoted?

I know they were unhappy I cut back

on their extracurricular functions.

What kind of extracurriculars?Booze cruises, happy hours,

trips to Vegas.

I have kids. I need to be home nights and weekends.

Plus I was making my numbers

without doing Jell-O shots with the doctors.

Discrimination laws weren't designed

to protect people your age.

So I'm too old to sell,

but too young to sue?

I didn't mean that. I just want you to realize--

We will do everything we can to fix this.

Okay, not that I'm complaining, but what are you wearing?

Duh.

It's my Swiss Alps Oktoberfest barmaid outfit.

Why?

Last time I delivered a singing telegram,

it was a big hit. I got tips.

This is not a singing telegram, Stacy.

These are legal documents that initiate a divorce.

You need to hand them to Mrs. Hobbs and say,

"You've been served."

You've been served.

That's right.

You've been served.That's good too.

You've been served.

I see why you got tips.

Mm-hm.

Ghosts?

I can't believe you can sit there

with a straight face and tell me--

The house is sold. Escrow's closed.

Thought you'd be open to discussion.

Nothing to discuss.

What about the fact the house is haunted?

I saw the ghost.It appears there are problems--

Our inspectors did a thorough examination,

which your clients signed off on.

There's nothing wrong--We have proof.

We do?

The "International Bureau of Paranormal Investigations."

Based in Trenton, New Jersey.

They analyzed the aura over the phone

and concluded that there is a supernatural presence.

And a strong possibility that the house is a portal.

A portal? Why didn't you say that before?

Here, let me open up my checkbook and write you a...

Are you kidding?No need to be sarcastic.

Tell me something, Mr. Kent.

Do you believe there are ghosts in your clients' house?

With all the foreclosures,

is it possible the bank has a different property

we can roll the mortgage into--?Here's my offer.

The Prescotts continue to pay the mortgage.

I don't have them evicted and torch their credit rating. Deal?

Don't forget proactive and peremptory.

If it feels right, I'll use it. Now, shh. I'm first chair.

Your Honor, we move for immediate dismissal.

California's Fair Employment and Housing Act

grants no age protection to people under 40.

We understand that, but Clasky Pharmaceuticals'

unnatural obsession with youth

amounts to de facto age discrimination.

Counsel saying it doesn't make it so.

Our country is increasingly youth-oriented.

We have sports figures who are over the hill at 30,

a president in his 40s.

Let's not forget Ashton Kutcher.

Three careers and a stepfather to teenagers

by the time he was 27 years old.

Shh.

The law needs to recognize that

while we live longer, we're being aged out sooner.

Your Honor, Charlotte Perkins is an at-will employee.

She can be demoted or even fired at our discretion.

I will take the matter under advisement.

Your Honor, this is proactive

and peremptory discrimination.

They purposefully demoted Charlotte

before she turned 40 to avoid a lawsuit.

Is that it?

Or is somebody else gonna jump up and yell at me?

No, that's it.

You've been served.

You've been served.

You've been served.

Okay.

Just a second.You've been--

Welcome home!What?

You're not Donald.

No.

Just delivering something.I'm so embarrassed.

My husband is due back from a business trip today.

And, well, we're newlyweds.

Oh, it's beautiful.I know.

I've never been one of those girls

who dreamed of wedding rings.

But then I saw this and...

How long have you been married?Six weeks on Saturday.

Donald's been gone three days, but it feels like forever.

It's true what they say about marriage.

What's that?

It's a slumber party every night.

I'm sorry. Did you need me to sign something?

You know what? I think I have the wrong house.

Oh.

Okay.

Hi, Jane.

Bye, Jane.

Wanna talk about it?She shushed me.

What?Kim shushed me.

She wouldn't listen to my ideas--

You brought in the case.I don't even care about that.

I care about Charlotte.

And now I'm just supposed to sit on my hands

and let Kim muck it up?

How could Parker give her my case?

I wouldn't take it personally.

How am I supposed to take it?

Parker's not thinking straight.

You know how it is. His brain is soaking

in a stew of endorphins.

They cloud the judgment.

What are you talking about?

I wasn't gonna say anything before

because it wasn't relevant, but-- Wow.

Look at me, I sound like a lawyer.

But I should probably tell you.

Parker is in a new relationship.A relationship with whom?

It's possible I've said too much.

Son of a bitch.

I know what you're doing.What am I doing?

You're sleeping with Kim and that's why you gave her my case.

You want to shut the door.Oh? Why?

Afraid everyone will hear the truth?

Fine, leave it open.

I did not give anyone your case.

I simply made you second chair.

Semantics.Before you say another word,

think what you're alleging.Oh, I've thought about it.

And I can even cite code section

for you if you'd like.

I have no doubt.

Bingum, this firm is my legacy.

Think I'd let my personal life

get in the way of my business judgment?

I think you already have.

You aware Kim has the firm's best record

with employment discrimination suits?

I'll take that as a no, but at least you'd acknowledge

I've previously given you cases Kim brought in.

Yes, I guess that's true, but the poi--

Before you storm into my office again,

please, get your facts straight.

Not that it matters in this case.

Why?Judge dismissed your suit.

If you were in your office doing your job,

you'd know that.It doesn't excuse the fact--

I know where the lines are, Bingum. I haven't crossed any.

Have a good day.

Somewhere else.

Stacy. What are you doing here?

With the papers you were supposed to serve today.

There was a little--

A little bump in the road.

Did you find the house?Mm.

And she was there?Yeah.

I see no bump.

Fred, she showed me her ring.What?

She is like the happiest married person in America.

You should see her face.Stacy--

No, I know what's in this envelope.

And I couldn't be responsible for destroying her happiness.

I am not a love assassin.

You're just the messenger.You said this would be easy.

It is. All you do is hand her the papers and say--

I'm sorry.

Maybe it's for the best.

I mean, age discrimination. She's only 34.

It wasn't a great case.

But it was my case, not Kim's.

I promised Charlotte.

Did you know about Parker and Kim?

I suspected.I don't get it.

I mean, what is he doing with her?

Guess he's into dirty blonds, emphasis on "dirty."

I mean, he's managing partner.

He has an obligation to avoid

even the appearance of impropriety.

A boss sets a tone and that impacts how the employees feel.

And this employee feels like another round. Are you in?

Oh, my God.

What? Do I have to hold your hair while you throw up?

You should know I'm a sympathetic puker.

No. I have an idea.

We're suing the boss for sexual harassment.

You're gonna sue Parker?No.

Charlotte is going to sue her boss.

Forget age discrimination.

Clasky Pharmaceuticals created a hostile work environment.

Okay, we have to get back upstairs to the office, mm,

prepare a new filing.

This goes against my "never drink and draft" policy.

Tonight we're making an exception.

You filed something with the court in my name?

Well, you're first chair, so you should have thought of it first.

This isn't 31 Flavors.

We don't get to sample every cause of action

until we find one we like.

And sexual harassment?

How do you plan to argue that?

In case you've forgotten,

there are two types of sexual harassment.

There's quid pro quo,

where someone gets special treatment

for sleeping with her boss.

And then this is the second type:

Hostile workplace sexual harassment.

You heard Charlotte talk about her office.

It's all cheerleaders and pageant finalists

who are basically required to flirt and dress provocatively.

We can argue that it meets the standard

of severe and pervasive harassment.

I'm not so sure.Just saw the filing.

Hostile workplace?

Brilliant move, Kaswell. And you, too, Jane.

I can't believe

I let you talk me into cancelling dinner

with Vanessa for this.

I can't believe you were gonna drop the Prescott case

without even visiting the haunted house.

Teri.Don't "Teri" me.

I have lived in two haunted homes

and one very poltergeist-y college dorm.

What are you doing?

In my haunted dorm, the ghost smelled like burnt molasses.

Although that could have been my roommate.

What was that?The floor.

And that?A light bulb. They do that.

Okay. We are not leaving until we see a ghost.

I'm gonna look upstairs.

I'm going to see if I can salvage my dinner plans.

Boo.Knock it off.

Look at you. Heh-heh.

Hard at work in a haunted house.

Deb?

Were you expecting some other girl?

How could this--?I wanted to say hi.

Let you know that I'm A-okay.

The afterlife kind of rocks.

How are you doing?

How am I doing?You look good.

Are you seeing anyone?

No. Of course not.

Grayson? Are you all right? You're talking to the wall.

Yeah, no, I just saw a--What?

I just saw a ghost.

We were always told Clasky wasn't just a job,

it was a lifestyle.

But after my girls were born,

my lifestyle changed.

I cut back on the outside socializing

and started dressing my age.

And what happened?

Well, it started with nasty looks,

rude comments from management.

Then they pulled me off the road,

gave me a headset,

and stuck me on a desk in the annex.

What type of drugs does Clasky Pharmaceuticals produce?

Primarily heart medications.

Is it true that nine out of ten

cardiologists are men?

Yes. That's why they hire

female sales reps who appeal to those men.

Heh. Management calls us their Bond girls.

Your Honor, is it all right if I hand off to my co-counsel,

before her head explodes?By all means.

So this is your company handbook.

Could you please read the highlighted portion?

"Skirts shall be no longer than an inch above the knee."

"Heels shall be at least 3 inches."

Charlotte, why did you decide to file this suit?

Because I'm good at my job.

I understand these drugs. I know how to sell them.

I just don't want to do it with my cleavage.

Ms. Perkins, you understand that your lawyers are arguing

your work environment was hostile?

Yes.

Have you ever been subject

to unwanted sexual advances

while employed by Clasky?No.

Has pornography ever been on display at the office?

No.Have you ever had to endure

crude or vulgar jokes?No.

The harassment was more subtle than that.

So subtle it didn't exist.

Molly Hobbs?You're early.

I am?You're by yourself?

Uh... Yeah.

You must be stronger than you look.

I cleared a wall for you.

And I really want it to be a surprise,

so I'm hoping you can install it quickly.

What am I installing?The 60-inch plasma TV.

It's a gift for my husband.

You bought your husband

a 60-inch high-definition flatscreen.

I know. He really wanted one, so, what the hell?

I pulled a couple of extra shifts.

He's gonna love it, right?

So where is it, in the truck?

Um, uh--

Yeah. Let me just go make sure I've got the right one.

Okay.

My favorite restaurant in the city?

Hmm. Lawry's.

And why do I need to know that?

Because you're gonna want to buy me dinner.

Look at what I found.

SpookyMaps.net?

It's a website that catalogues

Southern California haunted houses.

The Prescott's house is on a haunted house registry?

And it has been for years.

According to Stambovsky v. Ackley,

a 1991 Supreme Court decision,

"nondisclosure of a house's reputation for being haunted--"

"Entitles the buyer to a refund."

You know your ghost law.Well, it's kind of my thing.

Your clients want the purchase agreement voided.

On what grounds?You're gonna love this.

The house is reputed to be possessed by poltergeists.

That last part again, counselor?Ghosts, Your Honor.

And the bank knew it, or should have.

Here's where we ask that you dismiss this case with prejudice

and award sanctions.

These are reprints from a website

SpookyMaps.net.

Note that the Prescotts' house has been listed since 2004.

Either the bank knew and failed to disclose,

which is fraudulent misrepresentation,

or should have known, in which case it's negligence.

There's a third option. My client didn't know

the house was listed on some crackpot website

and shouldn't be expected to.

Unlike opposing counsel,

they had better things to do than go Googling for ghosts.

I'm inclined to agree.

Do you have any other evidence?Yes.

I saw one.

You saw one what?

A ghost in the house.

Case dismissed.

Mr. Kent, seek help.

♪ You make me believe ♪

♪ There's something special ♪

Well, that's done.

You gave her the papers? How did it go?

Tell me everything.

It was, uh-- It was a piece of--

Was it awful? Was Mrs. Hobbs devastated?

Did she collapse from the weight of her broken heart?

Did tears well in her eyes--?I couldn't do it either.

Ha-ha! I knew it!

She bought him a 60-inch flatscreen TV,

just for being him.

She loves him. Kim is gonna kill me.

I will speak at your funeral.

What am I doing?

Couldn't stay away, huh?

Deb.I think I've stopped aging.

And my skin is glowing.

That was a joke.

What's wrong, Grayson?

Deb, I never lied to you before.

I don't want to start now.

You asked me if I was seeing anyone.

I am.

Yeah, I had a feeling.

Hey.Vanessa.

What are you--?Teri told me you were here.

I heard about your day in court.

Actually everyone did.

Yeah, tell a judge you see dead people,

watch how fast word travels.

So tell me about your ghost.

It's okay. You don't have to humor me.

Grayson.

She was a young woman.

She stood right about where you are now.

Right here?

She disappeared, then I saw that.

It looks like a face.

Are you sure your clients aren't moving back here?

Absolutely.

Well, in that case...

What--?

Whoa. What are you doing?

Yeah.

See that right there?Yeah?

Toxic mold.

My brother buys old houses, taught me all about this.

It grows behind walls,

interferes with the structure of the house,

the electrical system.Flickering lights.

Creaky floorboards, peeling wallpaper.

And get this:

Exposure is also known to cause hallucinations.

Really?

Hallucinations.

Looks like your clients may have found some new grounds.

Where is the depo transcript?

How's it going, team?

Awesome.Super.

You want some dinner?Busy.

No, thanks.

All right, then. Back at it.

What?What, "what?"

I didn't say anything.

You looked like you wanted to.

Maybe I always look like this.

Fine.

So when Parker offered dinner,

was that offer for both of us or just for you?

That's it.What? What did I say?

I'm dating Parker. Get over it.

I'm sick of passive-aggressive comments.

I haven't said anything.Please. Every time you speak,

I can hear that tone in your voice.

And the way you've been looking at me since I got this case?

Say it. You think I'm sleeping my way through the firm.

You're sleeping through the firm.

I can't believe you just said that.

Really? First Grayson and now Parker.

I mean, who's next, Carl with the sideburns in Payroll?

I've dated two men in the last year

and, yes, they both work here.

Do you know why? Because this is where my life is.

You of all people should understand that.

Date any lawyers lately?Yeah, I didn't work for Tony.

So, I wasn't sleeping with him to get ahead.

I was sleeping with him for fun.

I'm not dating Parker to get ahead.

For the record, I really liked Grayson at the time,

but he's still in love with that dead girlfriend.

I couldn't compete. Anything else you'd like to know,

send me an e-mail. I'm going home.

Mr. Clasky, do I have this right?

You admit to recruiting cheerleaders

to fill out your work force.

Yes. Businessweek, sales journals,

they've all published studies

that show cheerleaders and other athletes

do better in business than their counterparts.

It's all about focus and commitment.

Your witness.

Why did you demote my client?

Her performance hadn't declined.

Oh, I knew it would.

Are you psychic?

No, I've just been doing my job for the past two decades.

I knew when Charlotte stopped attending

the weekly social functions,

let her gym membership lapse,

started dressing more like a...

A mom?Less sexy.

Once people opt out of the Clasky lifestyle,

their numbers start going down.

Maybe not right away, but eventually.

So you believe that dressing sexy is a bona fide

occupational requirement?

Absolutely.Nothing wrong

with hiring matchmakers to coach staff on seduction?

My business strategy is legitimate.

And any reasonable person would agree.

Nothing further.

Are we ready for summation?

Yes.Not yet.

What?We have to call another witness.

Who?I don't know yet.

That is not an acceptable answer.

Kim, we are losing this case,

and Charlotte is about to get nothing.

Counselors, we're waiting.

Uh-- We have a rebuttal witness.

Who?

Uh--

Her. Miss. You, with the sandwich.

Hi. Could you please give your name to the court?

Um...

Laura Curtis.

And what do you do for a living, Laura?

Executive assistant.

I'm on my lunch break.

It was too hot to eat outside.

It's perfect.How is that perfect?

Your Honor.Sidebar.

This is nuts. She's not on the witness list.

This is a stall tactic.

Mr. Clasky said any reasonable person would agree

with his business strategy.

But according to the Ninth Circuit--

The standard for hostile workplace

is what a reasonable woman finds offensive.

Not person, woman.

Ms. Curtis has a reasonable job, wearing reasonable clothes,

and she came out of the heat, a reasonable thing to do.

She is our average reasonable woman.

Your Honor, you have to agree, this is absurd.

Actually I don't. It sounds reasonable to me.

Proceed.

Ms. Curtis, do you think going to the gym

is a reasonable job requirement?

Not unless you're a Laker.

What about dressing provocatively?

Maybe if you're a stripper.

Would you feel comfortable

if your boss made you flirt with clients?

Um-- No. It would be awkward, embarrassing.

Would you call it hostile?Of course.

I found stachybotrys chartarum,

commonly known as toxic black mold.

The colony's been present for over a year and still growing.

How'd the bank miss this?They never checked.

What do you mean?

I've been through the documentation.

There's an electrical report,

seismic, structural, but no environmental.

Not uncommon during foreclosure when banks try to save bucks.

Thanks for your time.

Ronnie's ready to testify and I have to say,

I find him very credible.

What do you think?

I think we at Southwestern Mutual

see no reason to return to court.

I'm sure your clients will find this to be more than generous.

Not enough.

You didn't even look at it.Not enough.

Fine.

I believe we have a deal.

So thanks again for coming in.No problem.

Hey, I was wondering,

how quickly does toxic mold affect people?

I mean, could someone walk into a house with mold

and just have a hallucination right there on the spot?

Mm. Some people are more sensitive.

Usually takes weeks or months of exposure.

That long?

Of course, anything's possible, right?

What's the deal with Molly Hobbs?

What do you mean?

I should've heard from her attorney

right after she got served.That is odd.

The client's coming in today.

Confirm with the process server that everything went smoothly.

Ms. Bingum. Ms. Bingum.

That was some maneuver this morning.

It worked.

I know that. I saw how the jury reacted.

We have an offer.

Your old job and back pay.

Her old job, back pay and a settlement large enough

to let people know that internal policy is going to change.

How big a settlement is that?

I don't know. Charlotte, what are you thinking?

I'm thinking stock options.

Lots of stock options.

Donald Hobbs here to see Kim Kaswell.

Uh-- Mr. Hobbs. Hi. I'm Ms. Kaswell's assistant.

How was your business trip?

Between us, I didn't go anywhere.

I've been crashing on my buddy's couch.

Molly has no idea I'm meeting a lawyer.

You don't say. That's--

Hey, can I ask you something?Yeah.

Why would you get divorced after only six weeks?

I thought I was ready.

A wife, a mortgage, someday, kids.

But as soon as it became real,

I knew I'd made a huge mistake.

I'd wake up in the morning and I couldn't breathe.

There's a reason you asked

Molly to marry you in the first place, right?

I guess.Yeah, I think it's this:

You know that you only get one chance in life.

And you want to spend it with someone

you can't wait to come home to.

Someone who makes your heart race,

whenever she enters the room in her fuzzy bunny slippers.

You know, someone who, even when she's yelling at you

for using her InStyle Magazine as a coaster,

still makes you feel like she's the reason

you're here on earth.

Wow, that was some speech.

So this perfect woman...Yeah?

You know where I can meet her?

If your boss does her job right,

I'll be single by the end of the week.

Excuse me. Um--

I have to make a delivery.

Dinner? I'm thinking Japanese.

I need you to be honest with me. Did you give me this case

because we're sleeping together?Excuse me?

You heard me.No.

Of course, I didn't.If you did, we're done.

I don't need Jane or anyone thinking

I get special treatment because of this.

Oh, come on, you too?

That's not the way I run my--

I'm not the kind of boss--

It doesn't look like special treatment.

Parker.

Okay, I guess maybe it does.

How did I not see it?

It happens.

To make sure it doesn't happen again,

starting immediately, I'm going to remove myself

from all discussions of your assignments,

compensation and partnership tracking.

How's that sound?

Like the most romantic thing anyone's ever said to me.

You again.

Mrs. Hobbs, this isn't gonna be easy.

Ugh. Just give me the papers.Excuse me?

You're here to serve me with divorce papers, right?

On with it.

Wait, how did you--?I've known the whole time.

So the whole thing

about the big-screen TV--?

My husband is a jackass and he doesn't deserve me.

So, I've been trying to make this

as difficult on him as possible.

Molly Hobbs, you're gonna be all right.

Well, she has been served.

Oh, my God. How was it?

Uh--

Easier than you'd think.Mm.

This is for you.

Oh, I don't deserve that.

No, no, no. I hired you.

And besides, the check is made out in your name.

Really?

Thank you so much.

$150 is going straight to the credit card company.

And the rest?

Hmm. Just enough for dinner.

Well, enjoy.

Wait, no. I meant with you.

Did you just invite me to dinner?

Absolutely.

Ahem. As long as we don't spend more than $25.

Congratulations on your big win.

I was only second chair.

Maybe, but calling the average reasonable woman?

That was genius.

Everyone is talking about you.

When they are not talking about you.

Right.

See, you impress people. I get mocked.

You still won.

And Teri said you were awesome, by the way.

So, what about this ghost?

Ah. You're gonna think I'm crazy.

Never.

It was Deb.

You're laughing. See? You do think I'm crazy.

No, I just-- I don't know what you saw.

I wasn't there.

I do know that the brain can play tricks on you.

And sometimes you just see what you want to see.

Yeah, you're probably right.

Wishful thinking.Nothing wrong with that.

I don't know why Deb would hang around some moldy house.

Right? Unless she got lost on the way to Bloomies.

Yeah.

Well, if I believed in ghosts, and I'm not saying I do,

I'd like to think Deb

would have found a way to stay close to me.

Yeah, it would be nice to think so.
