All language subtitles for Swingtown.S01E13_English

Previously on Swingtown...

I'm pregnant.
You're...

Haven't told him yet.

I don't want to hide
what we have, Laurie.

I'm turning down the position.
LISA:
Sam's coming to live with us

in Naperville next week.
RICK:
She's moving away?

LISA:
My mom's gonna try
to get legal custody.

I got the job.

That's fantastic.

I need to know how
you feel about me.

I want you to take
the job in Cincinnati.

BRUCE:
I can't stand
the thought

of not seeing
you every day.

Is the window still open?

BRUCE:
I've got to go back

to the office--
I left my briefcase.

It's got all
of today's receipts.

TOM:
You are one sexy little lady.

Some hot water,
a little butter...

and I will gobble you right up.

(Trina giggling)

Are you flirting
with a lobster?

Who says I'm talking
to the lobster?

(laughing)

MAN:
Here's the
next batch, Captain.

Is that the rest
of the clams?

Yep, right off the plane,
100 pounds of them.

Where do you want
them, Captain Decker?

Right where you're
at's fine.

I still got
ten boxes

of seaweed in
the truck.

Well, you can't
have a clam bake

without seaweed--
bring it on in.

(Trina laughing)

Littlenecks,
cherrystones, quahog.

Ah.
Phew!

How long were those
sitting on the tarmac?

Since when did you
get so squeamish?

That's the aroma of fresh
Bar Harbor, Maine, baby.

Smells more like
Davy Jones' locker.

Glad Susan agreed

to store some of
those at her house.

I can't believe
it's already Labor Day weekend.

Have to say I'm kind
of looking forward

to the change of seasons.

Really?

I kind of like the idea
of an endless summer.

Just you

and me, the sunshine

and all that beautiful
tan skin of yours.

Clam hands, dear.

Excuse me.

(sniffing)

What's that smell?

SUSAN:
Mothballs.

I'm pulling our winter clothes
out of storage.

It's a little early
for that, isn't it?

You know how quickly
the weather can turn.

One day, it's warm and sunny,

next thing you know,
you're freezing to death.

Did you get all your
work done last night?

Last time I looked
at the clock,

it was past midnight,
and you still weren't home.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

Uh, I guess I lost track
of time.

Guess so.

Yeah, and I'm running
late again.

Could you drop me
at the train?

Just take the car.

Don't forget your briefcase--
it's right there.

JANET:
Pack your bags, I want you out
of this house immediately.

Those are the only words
a four-time philanderer

like your husband
might actually hear.

It's time to grow a spine
and toss the swine.

Would you believe
the original response advised

this poor woman to hang in there
with that creep?

I was up half the night
rummaging

through old Dear Trudys
and found at least a dozen

reckless replies to women

like "Weeping
in Wheeling."

Is that the same phone call

from before I got
in the shower?

Henry, I have to go.
I'll see you at the office.

(laughing):
Bye.

Oh, dear, look
at the time.

Henry and I got carried
away on Dear Trudy.

Don't worry, you have
absolutely nothing

to be jealous of.

I'm not jealous
of Henry.

I was just expecting
a phone call.

Falstaff Properties?

Mm-hmm.

(sighs)

Roger, have you ever heard
the old saying,

"No news is news"?

I've heard,
"No news is good news."

I just want you to be prepared
in case it isn't.

Actually, they already
offered it to me.

Oh, my goodness, that...

that is terrific.

Oh.

Why on earth
didn't you say something?

I wanted to sleep on it,
make sure it's what I wanted.

What are you talking about?

I thought this job
is exactly what you wanted.

It is.

And I'm going to accept it.

But there is one thing.

What?

We're moving to Cincinnati.

give it up *

* Give it up for love

* Ah, ah, ah *

* Give it up for love.

MELINDA:
That bad?

I think an actual
hair of the dog

is the only thing that
could make that drink

look more disgusting.

It's a Prairie Oyster.

Real breakfast
of champions.

Someone should
inform Bruce Jenner.

(gulps loudly)

How'd it go when you
got home last night?

Any trouble
with Susan?

Uh, she was
already asleep.

I think.

Well, that's good--
at least you didn't

have to make up a story.

I did that when I left
in the first place.

And not a very good one.

She's not stupid,
Melinda.

Can't imagine you would have
married her if she were.

Still, I'm glad
you called.

It was nice just
talking to you.

Yeah.

But next time we
get together,

maybe we should find somewhere
a little more private.

Uh, the bell's
about to go off.

You need another Prairie
Oyster to get you going?

I think I'm good to go.

So am I.

Janet, there you are.

Sorry, I'm... I'm a little late.

Ten minutes early is only late
for people like you and me.

Ah, not so fast.

Life and Style editor
asked to see you

the minute you walked in,

which is already
one minute ago.

He did?

I gave him your writing sample.

Oh, Henry, I...

I wish you hadn't done that.

Well, if wishes were fishes,
then beggars would ride.

Horses.

If wishes were horses,
then beggars would ride.

Fishes makes no sense.

But it rhymes with wishes.

This is why you're the writer.

Go, go, go,
you don't want

to keep Mr. McColl waiting.

(typewriters clacking;
low, indistinct conversation)

"Once again, Mayor Daley
is facing...

questions of ethics
versus efficacy."

Mind your Ps and
Qs, Lorraine.

Well?

Mr. McColl loved
it, didn't he?

Actually, he didn't.

He didn't?
No.

But, apparently,
Mrs. McColl did.

And?

He wants to publish it.

He offered me the column--
on a trial basis.

I knew it.

Way to go, Janet.

I turned him down, Henry.

LAURIE:
I suppose physics
could be interesting,

but do I really want
to take advanced calculus

my senior year?

Do you need it
to graduate?

Well... I don't need any
of this to graduate.

I finished my requirements
this summer.

I could take nothing but PE
and study hall

and still go to Northwestern.

But you wouldn't
do that.

You're brilliant,
and you like a challenge.

Well, that's why
I have you.

Oh.

So, have you figured out
what you're gonna be doing

while I'm slaving away
in advanced calc?

Nope, and I have
to say it feels good.

At this moment,
I can do anything.

I could... I could find
another teaching job,

I could write a book,

I could learn a craft.

What, like making furniture?
(knocking at door)

I would love
to make furniture.

I had an idea once

for this really
cool chair.
(laughing)

I'm serious.

No, it had a headrest
so I could...

I could lean back and think,

and then it would swivel.

Hey, Liz, what's up?

There was an earthquake
in Guatemala City.

20,000 people
are dead.

That's terrible.

Has anyone heard
from Dave?
Uh-uh.

Who's Dave?
He's my roommate
from grad school.

He's in the Peace Corps.

I'm sorry, Doug.

Well, that ought
to do it.

Iced
tea?

Don't mind if I do.

Susan, thanks
for letting us keep some

of these little
monsters at your house.

I'm sorry about
the smell-- blech.

SUSAN:
If you don't
like seafood,

why are you having a clam bake?

Tom's been closing
out the summer

with this party since
he was a little boy.

My dad used to fly
puddle jumpers

full of Maine lobster
up and down the coast.

It's a Decker
family tradition.

TOM:
Well, I better get
down to the beach

and start digging
that fire pit.

Mmm.

(yelps)

I'm trying to imagine Tom
as a little boy.

(laughs)

He's really just
a big kid anyway.

He sure is.

So...

how did everything go
between you and Roger

at Janet's birthday?

Fine.

We're never seeing
each other again.

Susan...

Oh, it gets better.

I think that Bruce
is officially having an affair

with Melinda from his office.

Well, why would you think that?

I caught him
on the phone

asking someone
if "the window was still open,"

and a few minutes later,
he was headed downtown

to pick up his briefcase,

and he didn't get home
till after midnight.

Oh, it could just be
a misunderstanding.

Bruce is a terrible liar.

His briefcase was sitting
in our hallway the entire time.

Have you confronted him?

No.

What if he says yes?

Then you'll both deal with it.

(sighs)

Trust me, the
longer you wait,

the worse this will get.

You should have
a garage sale.

We could really cash out
on all this crap.

I'm leaving tomorrow, so...

We could do it
when you get back.

(chuckles)

The last guy my
mom was with...

he was really into
tropical fish.

I'm pretty sure it still
works, if you want it.

Lisa, check it out.

Is Lisa gonna do me
before she leaves?

LISA:
Does it have a message
that says, "You wish"?

"Things are
looking up."

(all laughing)
BJ:
Here, give it a try.

Ah, I hate these things.

BJ:
Come on.

Just one question?

"Don't bet on it."

You didn't even
ask it anything.

Yeah, I-I did.

(horn honking)

It's our moms.

RICK:
This ought to be good.

Hi, Mom.

Hi, kids.

Having fun?

Laugh a minute.

We're just helping Samantha
find her suitcases.

I hate you,
Maggie!

(Gail sobbing)

Sam, look...

I know this
is hard,

but we found a
fantastic facility

to help your mom
with her... problems.

I spent some time there
myself, didn't I, sweetie?

Look at me now.

You'll have her
back in no time.

You'll see.

Gail!

Heard that before.

After my dad left.

(sighs)

Mom!

(indistinct conversation,
laughter)

Melinda.

Susan.

I was looking for my husband.

His office said
I could find him here.

You just missed him.

See you,
Melinda.

Maybe it's just as well.

Maybe you're the one
I should be talking to.

Why don't I get us a drink.

("The Boys are Back in Town"
playing)

(giggles)

Thanks so much.

How do you know that?!
It's confidence,
all right?

MELINDA:
Vodka soda okay?

It's a different world
down here, isn't it?

All this...
testosterone and bravado.

Takes a certain kind, I guess.

Not many women get to see men
the way you see them,

in their element, like this,
away from their families.

I suppose you're right.

Do you remember
the night we met?

You called my husband

"one of the good ones."

I meant it.

You also told me
that you didn't mind

doing certain things
to get ahead.

Is that what
you're doing

with my husband,
using him to get ahead?

Bruce is a smart guy.
If that was the case,

he'd see right through me.
So is it just

something you're doing for fun?

We haven't slept together,
if that's what you're asking.

Then what are you doing?

(sighs)

We're a lot alike, Bruce and I.

We're both ambitious,
analytical.

We like a quick read.

Like to take risks.

With one key
difference:

Bruce is married.

We have children.

We have history.

I know.
Do you?

Maybe not fully.

I hope you do one day.

I hope you know exactly.

Are you in love with him?

In love, no.

But we definitely
have a connection.

Do you?

Do I what?

Do you feel connected to Bruce?

That is none of your business.

I'm sorry.

It's just that Bruce told me

that he doesn't feel like
you get him lately.

I have to go home.

You don't have
any right to do this!

It's the only way.
You're not
my mother!

Yeah, that's right;
Mom's six feet under.

Which is exactly
where you're headed,

Gail.

No!

MAGGIE:
That's your stash?

Give me that!

Look at yourself, Gail.

This is no way to live.

I've been there.

Do you want Samantha to end up
the same way we did?

Fine.

Take everything!

Dump it all!

GAIL:
But you're not
taking my daughter.

MAGGIE:
Oh, and then
who's gonna

take care of her
these next six weeks

while you dry
out-- Stu?

Jesus, you can't even
take care of yourself,

let alone
a teenage daughter.

You need
the program!

Why?!

Because I like
to have a good time?!

All right, so did you, before
you became a righteous bitch!

You just think you're so much
better than everyone else.

MAGGIE:
Oh, that's
ridiculous.

GAIL:
You know what?!
You can go to hell!

Leave me alone!

MAN (over P.A. system):
4:00 train arriving
from Chicago on track two.

Susan.

Did you, uh, get a job, too?

Lot of that going around.

(chuckles):
No.

I, uh, I had
an appointment.

Don't suppose
Janet was on the train?

Is she usually
on the 4:00?

The office said
she left work early today.

So I figured I'd come down here
and try and meet her,

make sure she's all right.

Why, uh, why wouldn't she be?

I accepted the job
in Cincinnati.

Oh.

Good for you.

Janet didn't
take it so well?

Uh, you know, we've lived here
our whole lives.

It's not an easy thing to wrap
your head around over breakfast.

No.

I suppose not.

Uh, do you,
do you think you might

make it to
the Labor Day party tomorrow?

We'll try to stop by, but I'm,
uh, I'm actually flying out

tomorrow night
to start house hunting.

Well, this is all
really good news.

She's bound to see that.

I'm proud of you, Roger.

Tell Janet to call me, okay?

Yeah.

(doorbell rings)

(chuckles)

Janet.

Sorry to drop by
unannounced.

Yet again.

Um...

this is for you.

What is it?

I saw it in a window

on my way home from work
and thought of you.

Come on in.

(chuckles)

I wish someone had given me
a copy when I was raising Ricky.

Course, at the time,
I was bound and determined

to do it all on my own.

(chuckles)

Under normal circumstances,

I would simply march over here
and show you how it's done,

but seems I won't be around
nine months from now.

Uh, perhaps even
one month, so...

What are you talking about?

Uh, Roger took a job in Ohio.

You're kidding me.

Wish I were.

He's flying down to look for
a place for us tomorrow.

Never mind that
my entire life is here--

my home, everyone I care about.

Janet.

(breathes deeply)

What am I going to do?

Tell Roger you don't want to go.

I can't do that.

I'm his wife,
and I took vows to support him.

What do you see?

A Convair 880 twin jet?

(chuckles)

What year does it say?

1976.

Right. Not 1954.

Father doesn't necessarily
know best anymore.

You have a say in this, Janet.

LAURIE:
We're trying to figure out
what's going on in Guatemala,

and I figured
you're a newspaper,

so you might be
getting information.

Yes, I'll hold.

Oh.

What are these?

LAURIE:
Lobsters.

I mean, what are
they doing here?

Waiting to be boiled. They're
for the Decker's party tomorrow.

They're gonna
kill them?
Then eat them.

BJ, could you
go someplace else, please?

Yes, I'm still here.

Is there anything
you can tell me?

Okay.

I will.

Thank you.

They're trying to confirm
details over the AP wire.

She said to call
back in an hour.

20,000 people are dead, all I
can find are stupid game shows.

The hell's the matter
with this country?!

Laurie, what's going on?

Mom, Doug's friend
teaches English in Guatemala.

There was an earthquake
this morning.

I'm sorry for barging in,
Mrs. Miller.

I don't have a TV.

No, it's all right.

Is your friend okay?
DOUG:
Nobody knows.

I've called everywhere
I can think of,

and no one seems
to know anything.

I need to go.

Where?

I don't know,
but I have to do something.

I'll go with you.

No, you stay here.

The news should be
coming on soon.

I'll call you later, all right?

Okay.

BRUCE:
Man, you wouldn't believe

the holiday traffic
on Lake Shore Drive.

It took me nearly two hours
to get home.

Laurie, go find BJ and tell
him to get ready for dinner.

I'm not hungry.

Uh, yeah, that makes two of us.

We are having dinner together,
as a family.

I guess I'll, uh,
go wash up then.

Okay.

(phone ringing)

Hello.

ROGER:
Susan, hi.

Roger.
Look, I'm sorry
to bother you,

but I was wondering
if you've spoken to Janet

since I saw you.

She isn't
home yet?

She hasn't called either.

That's not
like her.

Yeah, I'm not sure
what to do.

I'm right
here, Roger.

Oh, never mind.
She just walked in.

(click)

Janet, where the heck
have you been?

I was about ready
to call the police.

I don't want to move.

What?

My life is here.

My work is here.

It's a temp job.

I was offered the advice column.

I don't want
to leave my friends.

Who? Henry?
Susan.

We'll make new friends.

I don't want to
make new friends.

I know you wanted this job.

I know I promised
to stand by you,

but I don't think this move

is the right thing
for our family.

Well, that's my decision
to make.

No, it is our decision.

Look, you might be the heart
of this family, Janet,

but I'm the head.

And if I say we're moving
to Cincinnati,

then we're moving to Cincinnati
and that's it.

End of discussion.

* I wonder
how you're feeling *

* There's ringing in my ears

* And no one to relate to

* 'Cept the sea

* Who can I believe in?

Man, it's a hot one.

Here you are, dear.

Susan! Bruce!

Wow, you guys really
went all out for this.

Only good way to close out the
summer is with a bang.

Speaking of which, gonna
need your house keys.

Our house keys?

Oh, yeah, I-I don't, uh...

Yeah, I think we're just here
for the seafood.

Seafood is a powerful
aphrodisiac.

Mmm, ain't
that right, honey?

Not for everyone, dear.

(knocking on door)

It's open.

Your phone's been busy all day.

We finally got in touch
with someone from Peace Corps--

Dave's okay.

Thank God.
But it's a mess
down there,

and they need help.

And there's a flight
that leaves at 11:00 tonight.

You're going to Guatemala?

Yeah.

I want to go, too.

No, Laurie,
you can't.

You have to go
back to school.

I can miss a week of school
or two weeks.

Even with an international
effort,

it will take months to clean up,

and even longer than that
to rebuild.

So, I'll take the semester.

This is important.

Or is there some other reason
you don't want me to go?

No, of course not.

Th... This isn't about you
and me.

Right. This is about
a humanitarian crisis

in need of volunteers.

I want to help.

Okay.

Talk to your parents.

You're gonna need a birth
certificate to travel.

Okay.

Laurie...

...I love you.

I love you, too.

Here I go.

One, two, three!

You talk to Bruce
about Melinda?

No.

But I talked to Melinda
about Bruce.

How did that go?

Apparently, he told her

he feels like I don't
"get" him anymore.

Want to?

Oh, I missed it.
Oh no!

I'm not sure
I disagree.

Hey, give me that!

(giggling)

Oh, you were
absolutely right.

What you said about
Tom yesterday.

He really is just
a big kid.

I-I didn't mean it
in a bad way.

Oh, neither do I.

But it's...

one of the reasons we
chose not to have
kids of our own.

Children shouldn't
raise children,

isn't that what
they say?

I think you'd make
a great mother.

How do you know
for sure?

There's so many ways
to screw it up.

Are you pregnant?

Oh, I'm... I'm not
gonna keep it.

It wouldn't be fair.

To whom?

The baby.

What does Tom think?

He doesn't know.

My body, my decision.

Trina,

all summer you have been
espousing the virtues

of openness and honesty

in marriage.

Explain to me
how that doesn't apply here.

JANET:
Trina, Susan!

I made Rosy
Perfection Salad.

My favorite.
I'll put it out.

Janet, why haven't
you called me?

Trina told you
about Roger's job, didn't she?

I'm sorry, I should
have been the one.

I guess I thought,

maybe I could talk
him out of it.

But...

It seems like a great
opportunity.

It is.

For him.

For both of you.

It's funny, I...

I just always assumed
we'd grow old together.

You will.

I'm talking
about you and me.

If Roger chooses this,

I'm not sure I'll be
able to go with him.

BRUCE:
Sure am happy
for you, Roge.

We are sorry
to see you leave.

BRUCE:
Don't be
a stranger, okay?

Come on, boys,
it's your toss!

Bye, guys.

TOM:
Can't keep
a lady waiting.

BRUCE:
Be right there.

BRUCE:
We're coming.

Janet, you ready?

(The Doobie Brothers'
"It Keeps You Runnin'" playing)

Let's go,
if we're going.

Wouldn't want you
to miss your flight.

* It keeps you runnin',
yeah, it keeps you runnin' *

* I know it does, baby

* It keeps you runnin'...

Says here they
mate for life.

Also says lobsters grow
a pound a year.

And they can live
to be 40.

So which one's you and
which one's Samantha?

Don't be a doof.

We're gonna be
leaving soon.

Come on, Rick, I'll let you
French me good-bye.

Awesome!

I... see ya.

See ya.

Ew.

Where'd you get
those guys?

They were supposed
to get boiled at the beach.

I rescued them.

You know, you can't
save everything.

I know.

Is your mom...
Gone.

My Aunt Maggie took
her to that place.

Here.

This belonged to your Dad.

Well, now it's yours.

Samantha, I can't.

I...

I want you to have it.

Please.

As long as you promise
to come back for it.

Thank you.

(cheering and applause)

Thank you, everyone,
for joining us

in sending the summer of '76
off to the history books.

(cheering)

WOMAN:
Whoo!

WOMAN 2:
Yeah!

Whoo!
Speaking for myself

and my lovely wife,

I can safely
say that

this has been
one unforgettable summer.

A lot of laughs,
a lot of parties;

new adventures,

and some new friends.

And in keeping

with the adventurous spirit
of '76,

it is now time
for the men bold enough

to have thrown their keys
into the fishbowl

to find out who their wives will
be going home with

(laughter)
this evening.

So, who's gonna
be first?

Let's see.

Michelle, will you
do us the honors?

WOMAN:
Oh, no!

BRUCE:
Susan.

MAN:
Pick me. Pick me.

Mine!

BRUCE:
Susan, wait!

Hold up, Susan.

I know you lied to me.

I know you went to meet Melinda
after Janet's party.

You spoke to Melinda?

Actually, I went to see her.

At least she had enough respect
to tell me the truth.

Nothing happened.

We talked, that's all...

That's all?!

God, Bruce...

I am just saying,

it's not like we
slept together.

That is not the point!

You lied right to my face!

Maybe I should remind you
that you're the one

that opened this door
in the first place.

Opened what door?

The one to our bedroom.

I was perfectly happy
the way things were.

Really, Bruce?

Is that why you needed
the new job?

And the new house?

You wanted those things
just as much as I did.

No, none of that
mattered to me.

You're gonna stand there
and tell me

that you preferred
the other side of the tracks?

You're no Janet, Susan.

And I am certainly no Roger.

You got that right.

I need to get out of here.
Fine.

Let's go.
No.

Not with you.

MAN 2:
Those are mine.

(crowd sighing)

(applause and laughter)

Whose keys are these?

Hi, I'm Tim.

Great.

Let's go.

* Too many broken hearts have
fallen in the river *

* Too many lonely souls have
drifted out to sea *

(doorbell rings)
* You lay your bets

* And then you pay the price
for things we do for love *

* The things we do for love... *

Henry. Uh...
I know.

Me.
In the suburbs.

It's as weird for me
as it is for you.

(both laughing)

Oh, come in.

What are you doing here?

Home delivery.

Congratulations.

Oh... I don't
understand.

Well, Dear Janet
would understand.

Dear Janet?

You're published, baby.

It's an advance copy.

This time tomorrow,

everyone in Chicago is
gonna know your name.

But... But I...

I don't understand.

I-I turned Mr. McColl down.

And I un-turned him down.

Listen, if you quit,

who's gonna help
Needy in Naperville

pull herself together?

(laughs quietly)

What happened today?

It's a long story.

Well, you were born
to do this, Janet.

I don't know what to say.

Well, don't say anything.

Pour yourself a glass
of champagne

and celebrate with your husband.

Oh, Roger's in Cincinnati.

But-But if you want to stay,
I-I can put this on ice.

Uh, I-I wish I could.

Um, but I have a date tonight.

Oh.

Is it, um, anyone I know?

Jenny from accounting?

Uh...

Mark from shipping.

Right, uh...

of course.

Uh, Mark from... shipping.

Well, uh...

good for you.

Uh... Oh.

Remember to wear something nice
on Tuesday.

They're taking your picture
for the column.

(laughs)

ELTON JOHN: * When I think of
those East End lights... *

MAN:
That's me.

* ...muggy nights,
the curtains drawn... *

WOMAN:
Go this way?

MAN:
Yeah, sure.

(woman and man laughing)

You lose something?

Why, yes, it appears I have.

Disappointed?

Confused.

Kind of messing
with tradition here.

Sit down.

* And I don't hear you anymore

* We've all gone crazy
lately... *

I'm pregnant.

* My friends out there...

And I-I know

we decided that this...

children...

is not what we want.

So I already know
what I need to do.

But I feel like

something has been changing
inside me.

Just thought
you should know this time,

just in case
we felt different somehow.

No.

No?

Maybe we don't have
to make that choice.

(laughs)

Tom, you understand

this would change
our lives forever.

What do you want to do?

I want to think about it.

You know,
if we decide to do this,

I want to know exactly
what it means.

Then we'll think about it.

I'm telling you
with total certainty

I have never loved you more
than I do right now

in this moment.

(laughs)

That has to count for something.

* I never realized
the passing hours *

* Of evening showers

* A slip noose hanging

* In my darkest dreams...

Laurie?

Mom. Hi.

You're home early.

Yeah.

Any word on Doug's friend?

Yeah. He's okay.

(sighs with relief):
Oh, I'm glad.

Are you going somewhere?

Just to Doug's.

He's leaving for Guatemala

to help with the cleanup
from the earthquake.

Are you okay?

He won't be gone forever.

These people need help.

Please tell him
our thoughts are with him,

and, uh, to travel safely.

I will.

Don't be gone too long.

I'll be back before you know it.

(phone ringing)

Hello?

Hello?

Roger?

Yes.

Are you okay?

I couldn't get
on the plane.

I know I shouldn't
be calling.

I just...

I had to.

Where are you?

At a hotel...

by the airport.

Will you meet me?

(static)
Samantha?
Where are you now?

SAMANTHA (staticky):
We're on the expressway.

We're passing a bunch
of buildings.

I see Stuckey's.

Samantha, can you hear me?

(breaking up):
BJ? Hello?

I can't hear you.

Samantha?

(static buzzes)

Hello, Samantha?

(static crackles)

She'll be back.

It's only six weeks.

(Gail laughing in distance)

GAIL:
Get over here.

(laughing)

(mumbles)
Ooh.

(laughing)

(disco music playing)

Give me that.

(sniffing)

Ah, God, it's good
to be back.

(Gail laughing)

(knocking)

Liz. Hi.

Where's Doug?

He's gone.

What do you mean?

Gone where?

He asked me to
give you this.

Whatever's in there,
you should know,

he was ripped up
before he left.

Can you go, please?

Sorry. I just...
I need to...

I'm one floor up
if you need me.

Okay?

("Take It to the Limit"
intro fading in)

* All alone at the end
of the evening... *

DOUG:
"I know it's hard to understand
why I had to leave like this.

"Without you.

"But you have one more year
of school,

"one more year of living
in your parents' house,

"before you launch into college
and the rest of your life.

"I don't want you to rush that,
not because of me.

"I will miss your voice,

"your smile, your kiss.

"I love you, Laurie Miller.

"And I know you know that.

* And I've always
been a dreamer... *

"Doug.

P.S. Look under my pillow."

* And it's so hard to change

* Can't seem to settle down...

"You already have the key
to my heart,

"and now you have the key
to my apartment.

"If you need a place to escape,
it's yours,

"and since all my stuff
is there,

maybe you'll think of me."

* And burning out
and turning out the same *

(laughs)

* So put me on a highway

* And show me a sign

* And take it to the limit
one more time *

* You can spend all your time
making money *

* You can spend all your love
making time *

* If it all fell to pieces
tomorrow *

* Would you still be mine?

(laughter and chatter)

* And when you're looking
for your freedom *

* Nobody seems to care *

* And you can't find the door

* Can't find it anywhere *

* When there's nothing
to believe in *

* Ah, ah, ah *

* Still you're coming back

(knocking at door)

* You're running back

* You're coming back
for more *

(knocking continues)

* So put me on a highway

* And show me a sign

* And take it to the limit

* One more time

* Take it to the limit

* Ee-ee, ee-ee-ee *

* Take it to the limit...
