You know, you can leave your stereo system with Megan.

I've got a great one at my place.

I mean, our place.

I'm just bunking there, try to remember that, okay?

Oh, you know, that reminds me,

we should get you an elegant bed to sleep in,

instead of that lumpy, old pull-out couch.

Listen to me, I don't want to get too comfortable there.

And we're not spending a penny of your father's bequest

because when I divorce you,

I plan on being

a very wealthy man.

Oh, bye, sweetheart.

I'll see you after work.

Bye.

Don't wait up.

Well, you two are pretty friendly.

Well, we should be.

We got married last night.

You what?

Yeah, we've committed to each other, Peter.

Coop's come home.

Thank God your sorry butt moved out,

make room for a real man to move in.

I bail you out of jail, I try to be there for you.

You're changing.

It's not very attractive.

I think I've become a little bit more focused

ever since you shared with me

your special little feelings for Amanda.

Get used to it, Peter,

because I'm not gonna be stepped on anymore.

Not by you,

not by my father,

not by Coop,

not by anyone.

Dr. Perkins to respiratory stat.

Dr. Perkins to respiratory.

You need to sign

these insurance forms so I can get them out today.

Sure.

We still on for tonight?

Oh, I don't think so; something's come up.

What's her name?

Um, it's not anybody, all right?

I just have to get some things done.

You know, you come on to me,

you imply advancement at the job,

I put out, and you cut me off.

- Oh, Nurse Lynn. - You know,

some people might call that actionable

sexual harassment.

Uh, we'll work that out later; I got to go.

I could page him if you'd like.

- No. - Nurse, nurse,

I'll handle this.

Oh, Megan, you look awful.

I-I talked to Lexi this morning.

She told me she married Coop last night.

You must be a wreck.

No, I'm fine, really.

I mean, that rat.

After all that bold talk

about being through with Lexi.

You know, I knew he was no good for you.

You know what, Michael? I really don't want

to talk about this right now, okay?

Okay, no pressure, okay.

Look, I just want you to know

I'm here whenever you need comfort or joy.

Look, forget it, Michael.

Coop or no Coop, we're never getting back together.

We were never meant to be together in the first place.

Okay, why don't you just start your fabulous career

with women all over again, okay?

Oh, Coop.

Congratulations on your marriage.

Too bad you had to trash Megan to do it.

Shut up, Michael.

Can I, uh, walk with you for a second, please?

Oh, God, I missed you so much.

Not only do you spend the night with Lexi,

but you take the ring that you gave me and you give it to her.

How do you think that makes me feel, huh?

Let's see, used, discarded,

maybe a little less than worthless.

What was I supposed to do?

Jordan was standing there watching,

and I needed a wedding band.

I mean, it's not like I can wear two rings at once,

- you know, yours and hers. - Yeah, well,

it might as well have come out of a Cracker Jack box,

the way you just passed it around.

Come on, Megan.

You're the only one I love.

You know that.

You got to know that.

How're we gonna do this?

Hey, you know,

it's only 364 more nights apart.

Well,

it's, uh, not night right now,

and I, um...

I have a little free time.

I see this on the right-hand side of the magazine,

then we turn the page, and...

"what you see is what you get."

This was excellent.

I'm most impressed.

Thank you, Giorgio.

Um, we're all very proud of how it's turned out.

And Billy, I understand,

was the lead man in the campaign?

Very nice.

- Mille grazie. - Thanks.

We had a good time with it; we're looking forward

- to your next project. - Actually,

our office in Rome is expanding.

We plan to do our advertising

in-house from now on

and, sadly, Amanda has refused my offer

to come to Italy to join the firm.

Now, Billy, perhaps, um,

you could come to lunch with me

and give me your thoughts on our winter campaign?

Well, I'm sure we can survive without him

for a couple of hours.

Thank you. Sure, let's go.

- Ciao. - Ciao...

Oh, that does it; you know, I bet

he's gonna offer Billy the job in Rome.

That is so unfair.

I did as much work as he did.

You did the art, Billy ran the show.

I don't get why everything is just so rosy

for him all of the sudden.

You know, he had an affair just like I did.

He is not standing on any moral high ground,

and now job offers are just dropping into his lap,

and Jennifer, she waits on him like a house slave.

He's paid his dues.

You know, if you want my opinion,

you need to learn some patience.

Ah, patience takes too long.

Look, I'll tell you what.

I don't really want Billy to go to Rome.

I want him to stay here.

But if Giorgio's open to it,

how would you like to go instead of Billy?

I would love it.

Can you fix it?

I'll just tell Giorgio how key you were on the ad.

And maybe undercut Billy just enough to give me an edge?

Maybe.

But the rest is up to you.

The rest is just good advertising.

Hey, Michael, where are you going?

Why are you packing?

I turfed my patients to Coop,

and I'm off to Chicago for my college reunion.

I thought you threw that invitation away

as soon as you got it?

You said, and I quote,

"Those idiots were losers then,

and they're even bigger losers now."

They were, and they are, and that's why I'm going,

to remind them how sorry they are they don't see me anymore.

Hmm, it's nice to be admired.

Hey, it sounds like fun.

I'll come with.

The hell you will.

But, Mikey, I want to see your humble beginnings.

I was born this way, okay?

Now, be a good girl and stop asking questions

and let me pack.

I'm not asking questions.

Hey, who are you really going to see in Chicago?

There you go,

more questions.

Taylor, you're probably too pregnant to travel anyway.

- I'm not that delicate. - No,

but you'll probably throw the plane's balance out of whack.

That is the end of our discussion.

I'm going alone.

You're late.

What do you think of dreams?

I think they're the secret language of the soul.

Why do you ask?

I've been having this dream about Amanda.

She comes by the apartment to pick up the rent check,

and she's dressed in this hot red dress,

very sexy.

And I offer her some wine

and embrace her.

She resists me.

Then I get physically assertive.

That excites her,

and she ravishes me.

We call that wish fulfillment.

I don't know, it's like we're on the same wavelength,

like I can sense what she really wants me to do,

not what she says she wants.

Of course, in reality,

it's not possible to read people's minds.

So, you have to respect what they say,

right, Peter?

I'm not delusional, you know?

No,

but I wouldn't take obsessional off the table.

Why, because I moved back in to Amanda's apartment building?

Because I want what I want, and I'm willing to go after it?

Because I can focus on what's meaningful to me

and not lose sight of it, not give up on it,

and not fall apart at the first obstacle that gets in my way?

Peter, remember when I loaned you

my cabin in the woods to go deep inside yourself,

and I told you not to go to a party resort?

Well, I think the time has come for the party resort.

Peter, I think you've gone too deep.

It's funny how clear it looks down here.

Hey, you look great.

Why'd you get so dressed up?

- We're just going to have pizza. - Oh, God, I'm so sorry.

I have to cancel.

I have this business dinner

that just came up.

I'm really excited.

I might get to go to Italy.

Really? On assignment?

No, for good.

That's what this business dinner is,

it's a job interview.

- Italy? - Yeah.

Where would that leave me?

Well, I'm sure you would like it there, and you could come visit

- and then maybe... - Wait a minute.

When were you planning on telling me all this?

I just did.

Listen, I don't have time for this.

♪ I know a little bit about a lot of things ♪

So, Giorgio took me to lunch,

basically said that the Rome job is between me

and a couple other guys.

This is so exciting, Billy.

Yeah, he said he found me to have a...

maturity beyond my years.

Guess he wasn't fooled by your boyish good looks.

Can you imagine? I mean, we're talking Italy.

- I can speak Italian, you know? - Yeah, that's nice.

Well, I got to get back to the office so I can, uh,

- put together a résumé. - Well, I can help you,

mio amore.

All right, I'll see you at home.

Ooh, Lexi.

I think your father may have known what he was doing,

putting the two of you back together again, Lexi.

Well, Tom had some pretty strange ideas.

Mmm, but he sure knew what I liked.

Sex and money?

All wrapped up into one cute,

little package.

That's us, just a cute little couple.

Yeah.

Oh, my God!

Oh, gee, oh!

I'm sorry, that was, that was

- completely my fault. - Oh, God, yes, it was.

Excuse me, I, uh,

I got to go to the bathroom and clean up.

Hmm.

Michael?

Michael Mancini! H-Hey, it's me!

Irv Zuckis! Eta Kai Pi!

Oh, yeah, yeah, the cow pies. How's it hanging, Zuckis?

Ah, it couldn't be any better!

I sold more rugs than anyone in the state this year.

Really? You must be one hot carpet salesman!

No, not carpets, toupees!

Oh, hey, hey, here's my wife Faye,

my little Georgia peach! Ah, remember her?

Here you go, honey!

I made the guy mix it just the way you like it.

Hey, Faye, you remember this yutz?

Michael, how are you?

I'm sensational.

And it's, uh, very good to see you again.

Irv, show him pictures of the kids.

Oh, oh, yeah!

You must have quite a family yourself now, Michael.

Oh, yeah, I bet you married Jane,

boom, right after graduation, just like us, huh?

First love, true love, hmm? Am I right?

Actually, that didn't work out and then my next two wives died.

Um...

So, are you gonna give me a hug?

Jane, you look great!

Hi!

Well, you're not so bad yourself.

So, uh, did you just come in for the reunion?

Oh, I was in town for a big medical conference,

but, yeah, I just stopped by at the spur of the moment.

Oh, well, it's good to see you.

So, how've you been?

Well, you know, business has been booming.

You know, I was the chief of staff at the hospital, until...

some bigger opportunities came along,

like buying and selling medical clinics.

- Wow! - Yeah.

Unfortunately, it hasn't left much time

for a love life, so, uh, you know,

I've kind of sworn off women this year.

I'm living alone at the, uh, beach. H-How are you doing?

Oh, actually, I'm house-sitting for my parents,

they're out of town.

No, I-I meant, how's your life going?

Oh, it's...

Oh, it's terrific.

I-I'm working for a clothing design firm on the North Side.

I've got a really interesting bunch of new friends...

Kind of an artsy crowd.

Yeah, things are really coming together.

So, um, listen, um,

you want to tear yourself away, uh,

from these fascinating alumni? Maybe get ourselves a drink?

- Oh, no, no, I don't think... - No, no, just the hotel bar!

Scout's honor, I won't try to get you back up into my room.

Really, I-I should get going.

No, no, how about tomorrow night then?

I'll pick you up at your folks place.

No, no, uh,

tomorrow's the pre-wedding party.

- Wedding? - Yeah, it's, uh,

it's in a few days!

Really? Who's getting married?

- I am! - Oh my... that's great!

- Congratulations! - Thank you.

He's a great guy, he's very, very successful,

very loving... I'm really happy.

It's really great to see you're not

wilting away here in Chicago.

Oh, hardly. Listen, I've got to get going,

I've got a million things to do to get ready.

Oh, yeah, you must, absolutely, you, uh...

Well, you must be very happy and, uh,

I'm very happy for ya!

Thanks.

- So. - So.

So, I, uh, well, I guess I'll see ya around then.

Yeah, uh, catch you at the next reunion.

Yeah, right.

- Okay. - Okay.

- Bye. - Bye.

Hello?

Your service said you were in Chicago, Michael.

What are you doing in Chicago?

Jennifer, why is this any of your business?

All right, whatever, don't jump down my throat.

Listen, I need your advice about something.

- Uh-huh. - Um, Billy got offered

this job in Italy and he didn't ask me

to go with him, and I feel terrible about it,

but I'm gonna be damned if I'm gonna beg him to take me,

you know?

A-And then I was thinking,

well, maybe I should just show up on my own,

but what kind of idiot would do that, you know?

So, I don't know what to do.

Well, if he didn't ask you to go right away,

that's, like, a big red flag.

It means he doesn't want you to go

and he's not saying that loud and clear.

So, I'd dump this creep before it's too obvious he dumped you.

But, I still love him.

Oh, love is just an arrangement, kiddo.

You got to learn when it's time to move the furniture.

God, you make it sound so cold, Michael.

It's just realistic.

Listen, take me, for example.

I ran into Jane yesterday.

It didn't make me suddenly wonder what if or...

You saw Jane in Chicago?

How is she? Oh, I loved her.

I wish you guys had stuck it out.

Oh, calm down, girl. She's getting married.

Well, stop her, you moron!

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about what a weenie you are

if you went all that way to see her and...

That's not why I went.

And you're just gonna let her

slip through your fingers again?

True love doesn't happen all that often, Michael.

You can't just walk away.

Oh, yeah? Just watch me.

Look, I'm glad I could help you out

with this Billy thing and all.

See you when I get home.

- Hi. - Hi!

Yeah, I just came by to let you know...

Oh, I'm so glad that you came here.

I just tried to call you and you weren't home.

I need to apologize. I'm sorry that I forgot about our date

and I didn't tell you about Italy.

Look, Sam, I'm tired of all the head games.

You're obviously trying to put some distance between us.

You're right, that is what I'm trying to do.

I-I promise, I'm gonna work harder.

Whatever.

I just stopped by to tell you that now that my knee's useless,

I'm gonna go for a career in sportscasting.

Something I know and it's...

something that I could support a family on.

Because, despite everything that's happened,

I'm still doing this for us.

I don't know what to say.

Well, don't say anything.

I'm leaving town for some job interviews back east,

give you some time to think about it.

I still want to marry you.

I just won't be made a fool of anymore.

So, uh, when you come to your senses,

I'll be here.

But not forever.

Hey!

Everything all right?

No.

I found out today that Sam's trying to...

steal Giorgio's job right out from under me.

She can't match your credentials, right?

Well, it sounds like she doesn't have to.

Guy saw them out to dinner last night,

said Sam was practically sitting in his lap.

Yeah, well, I'm sure he'd never

fall for a trick like that, right?

I mean, he's probably a family man

and men like that would never fool around

with babes on the prowl.

You know what? That's an idea.

We could do like a big family-style Italian dinner

for the guy, you know? You could cook!

You're a good cook, like your mom, huh?

Yeah.

We will fight fire with pasta.

You want me to wear a sexy dress?

No, you look okay.

Oh...

I look okay.

God, that is so gratifying.

Okay, um,

we will start with an antipasto.

I do an "okay" antipasto.

And then maybe a nice manicotti.

The "okay" girl doing a nice manicotti.

What is the matter? Why are you crying?

I-I'm just gonna...

be so sad when you go to Rome.

I'm gonna miss you much more

than any of the other guys that ever dumped me.

Miss me? Aren't you coming with me?

I don't know. You never invited me!

- Well, I just assumed... - Y-You assumed?

Billy, you never said anything!

I-I thought that you were done with me!

I thought that you hated me!

Are you nuts? I love you!

Of course, of course I want you to come with me.

I'm counting on it!

Oh, you're counting on me coming?!

Like, you're just assuming that I want to go?

What if I don't want to go, Billy?

Well, do you or don't you?

- Yes, I do! - Oh, good.

Good.

No. Billy.

Jane! You can't marry this jerk.

He's not good enough for you!

I just caught him making out with this bimbo.

This "bimbo" happens to be my fiancé, you... clown!

Oh, Michael...

What...?

W-What does he mean, that she's his fiancé?

There's, uh, been a little misunderstanding, everyone.

But it's, uh, it's clearing rapidly.

I'll explain later.

- Sorry about the door. - Oh, Michael...

This is, uh, really embarrassing, Michael.

I'm not getting married.

To that guy? Good, because you know,

I think he's involved with this other woman.

No, to any guy.

I'm giving this party for my girlfriend's wedding,

and I kind of exaggerated to you last night

when I said it was mine.

I don't understand. Why would you do that?

Well, um...

Seeing you last night was really hard, Michael.

I mean, I came there to see you, and when I did, it...

it sort of threw me.

I...

I have had this really bad year.

I was giving this party, and I...

I embellished a little.

Or maybe I was trying to push you away, I don't know.

I'm sorry.

Ah, forget it.

Come on.

Let's go for a walk.

Thank God you came.

Oh, I am so sorry about what happened

in the club last night.

No, I'm sorry. I couldn't help myself.

The way Lexi was drooling all over you,

I thought I was going to kill her.

I-I could have sat in a different chair.

We still could have fooled her lawyer.

It's just so hard publicly pretending

that I don't love you anymore.

And-and that "cute couple" comment,

you got to understand, I was just trying

to satisfy Jordan while getting Lexi

to back off a little bit, and it just...

it was a stupid thing to say, and I-I...

Just shut up and kiss me.

Oh, man.

I haven't done this since high school.

Well, then, you're in luck.

It's how I won my letter.

Hi.

I was just passing by and was wondering

if you wanted to give me the rent check.

What?

Oh, nothing. Um, I'm sorry.

I-I was just, um...

I was noticing your dress. It's...

Oh, that's right.

This used to be your favorite, didn't it?

You know, if this is a bad time, I can...

No, no. No, not at all.

Actually, it's a... it's a perfect time.

Come in. I'm sorry.

Would you like some wine? I...

No, I don't need any wine.

Just the check will do.

Right. Right, of course.

I was just, um...

celebrating moving back in here.

Oh. Well, that's great.

But I'm kind of in a hurry.

Is something wrong?

No.

No, nothing.

You see, I've...

I've seen this dream before.

You are crazy if you think this is somehow going to get me back.

- Peter! - Well, I-I...

What? I was just doing what I thought that you wanted.

What I want is... is for you to drop the check in the mail.

Moving back here was like moving backwards in time.

It was kind of surreal.

Yeah. I think about the good old days.

- Puts a smile on my face. - Yeah.

I remember sneaking you back into your dormitory after hours.

- Oh, God. - Hmm? How about that?

Oh... ah, you were so beautiful.

Uh, hey.

Uh, y-you still are.

I didn't mean it that way.

Well, what I think about is moving out to L.A.

and moving into the apartment.

- Ah. - Yeah, buying you that...

that cheesy coffee mug with the picture of L.A. on it.

- That was my favorite! - It was your favorite.

I know!

We were so young.

There was this feeling that anything was possible.

Hey, everything was possible.

I was doctoring the rich; you were designing fashions.

We were living fast and having kids.

Oh, those are probably some years

we don't want to revisit, Michael.

Um... you know, Jane...

I'm amazed you even like me anymore.

Oh, I always have.

I guess I always will.

Well, thank you for...

Thank you.

You know, it was nice

thinking about some of the good old days,

even if, uh, some of them weren't so great.

Yeah.

Oh, I guess I better go, uh, survey the damage.

Yeah, well... well, um, good-bye.

Yeah, bye.

Give me a call sometime.

See how I'm doing.

It's a deal.

Please tell me that this is just office gossip.

Not only is Sam competing with me, but you're backing her?

Live with it, Billy.

The last thing I need right now is you traipsing off to Italy.

What you need? Get this.

I want that Rome job, okay,

and if you ruin it for me, I'm out of here.

So, what, take your marbles and go home?

This is a business decision.

Don't turn it into a personal vendetta.

It is personal, okay?

I...

I need to get out of here.

I want to leave L.A.

I want to leave here with Jennifer.

It's not good for me around here anymore.

I just keep tripping over bad memories.

Well, if you haven't figured this out yet,

let me be the first to spring it on you.

Can't run away from your memories.

You and I have been friends for a long time.

If that means anything to you, you will help me here.

I'm in love with somebody, okay?

Do you remember what that's like?

All right, I'll call Giorgio.

You are such a pain.

Thank you.

What?

I've got to talk about Coop and Lexi,

or I'm just... I'm going to go nuts.

Oh, it's not really a good time, Megan.

I'm trying to make gnocchi,

learn Italian and clean the house

before Billy brings Giorgio home for dinner.

Who's Giorgio?

Giorgio...

Yeah, whatever.

So, is there anything I could do to help?

Yeah, you could cover for me at the bar tonight.

Okay, if it's okay with Kyle.

You know what? I'm going to come back,

and we can talk later.

Hello.

Hey, Jennifer, it's your big brother.

Look, uh, I'm sorry I was a little out of line yesterday.

You sounded a little down.

I just want to make sure you're okay.

Oh, that is so sweet, Michael, but I'm fine, really.

In fact, I'm making this huge dinner

for the guy that Billy is trying to impress,

and then we're moving to Rome.

Rome?!

Didn't you hear a word I said?

You gotta run from this situation, Jennifer.

Michael, Billy loves me.

Love is just a word, Jennifer.

It's not even a word; it's a sound,

like... like Pavlov's dog drooling at a dinner bell.

This call is quickly losing its charm.

Well, did he give you the big ring?

No, not yet, but I'm sure he will.

Oh, yeah, and I'm sure pigs will fly, too.

Does that mean you're coming home soon, Michael?

You bet I am... tonight.

To save you from your own illusions.

Michael, Billy's feelings for me are real,

and not every man is like you.

You know, guys are guys.

They're like hounds.

They just can't help themselves.

The best they can do is not rub your face in it.

Yeah, like you're doing right now?

Jenn...

Oh, shut up!

♪ I spent with you ♪

Amanda, look, I want to apologize

- for the other night. - Don't touch me.

I don't want you to talk to me. I don't even want you

to look at me, so I'm going to make it easy on you.

Your lease is up at the end of the month.

No, no, no. Now, listen to me.

- I just want to tell... - Don't!

Amanda told me what happened last night.

You're not welcome here, either.

You hang around, you're going to end up

- a patient in your own hospital. - Oh, you think you scare me?

Huh? You overgrown soldier boy.

Okay, excuse me. Nobody wants a scene here.

So, if you don't mind, I think

I'll just escort this gentleman outside.

You're doing him a big favor.

Just had to thank you for getting me out of there.

I was really no match for him in my present condition.

Honey, you are not a match for him

on the best day of your life.

Well, thanks for your support.

You know, I never thought

that you could actually make me happy again,

but seeing you shot down that way

by the woman you worship... Oh, oh, sweet music.

That's funny.

You know, when we were together, I never saw this part of you.

This must be the woman that was married to Coop all those years.

Mmm. This smells delicious.

Oh, it's so nice to have an appreciative audience.

You should always appreciate what you have.

In advertising, more is better.

By life, what is on your table is what you must love.

Hi.

Hope I'm not late.

- What are you doing here? - Well, I was just

curious as to why Amanda was pushing me for Giorgio's job,

and then, all of a sudden, she's your biggest fan.

Are you kidding me? Sam, you don't know

the first thing about running a company.

All right, you'd fall flat on your face.

You'd end up pulling Giorgio down with you.

Is that what this is all about? Like, winning some,

- like, imaginary contest with me? - Hello.

- This isn't imaginary. It's very real... - Hey.

My flight's in an hour.

You're gonna go through with this dinner thing?

It's happening right now, but Sam

is gate-crashing and the whole thing is

falling apart, and I don't know what to do, Michael.

All right, put me on speaker phone. I'll fix everything.

Yeah, what are you gonna say?

Oh, what a great exec Billy is, that Sam should get a grip,

and everybody else should relax and have some Chianti.

I'm sick of you getting what you want

- instead of what you deserve. - I don't know, Michael.

- You know what I deserve? - Jennifer, come on.

Want me to call Mom, get her involved?

I promise you, you'd rather have me on the box than her.

All right.

Um, okay, attention, everybody.

My brother would like to say a few words.

Go ahead, Michael. You are on the air.

But you listen to me, Campbell.

If you go to Italy, you're not taking my sister with you.

I don't see how this is any of your business, Mancini.

Okay, Michael, thank you a lot for calling.

No, no, let's hear what he has to say. I'd like

to see the puffed-up phony exposed for who he is.

Yeah, yeah, and you, Mr. Honcho from Rome.

Now, I know Billy's a top-notch ad man...

Oh, like we need another one of those in the world...

But he happens to be taking advantage

of someone I feel very strongly about.

Advantage-taking is perhaps

not such a bad trait in a businessman.

Oh, unless it's been taken by a business woman,

and then she's a bitch. It's just not fair.

Look, listen, all I know is, personal life

interferes with business dealings.

Now, how long do you think this relationship is gonna last

once it reaches sunny Italy, huh?

Yeah, try forever.

Oh, try two seconds.

Oh, hang on a sec.

It's the bellman. He's got to bring my luggage downstairs.

Hey, bags are right there. I'll be down in a second.

Now, now, face it, Jennifer, okay?

You fell for Billy on the rebound.

He's not the kind of guy you'd want to spend your life with.

I mean, he's not the kind of guy you can love and love again.

Even after you both crash and burn,

and-and you dust yourselves off for the fiftieth time,

and you're just hanging on the ropes.

And you wake up one morning in a cold bed,

and your life's missing something, and you...

And you realize you're still thinking about her

after all these years.

I do love you like that.

Will you marry me?

Yes. Mmm.

Yes, I will marry you. Mmm.

Oh, I may puke.

I love you.

- I love you. - I love you.

He loves me! Mmm!

Thank you.

Well, I guess I better be going.

The airport limo leaves in ten minutes.

Last night was wonderful, Michael.

Yeah, yeah, it was.

You know, Jane, it...

It'd be a real shame if we lost touch,

but you know, I know you're not gonna come near L.A. again.

No. No, I have a life here now.

No, no. Yeah, I know. Of... Of course.

I'm gonna miss you, though.

I'm gonna miss you, too.

Thank you, Michael, for everything...

For talking and listening, and...

And hey, don't forget the night of fantastic sex.

Thank God some things never change.

Hey, nothing never changes. Not even me.

I'll remember that.

I'll never forget you.

Have a great life.

You deserve it.

I keep thinking Lexi's gonna come home and catch us.

Ah, don't worry.

Her plane's not even due back from Sacramento until noon.

- Ah. - Mmm.

Mmm.

What the hell are you two doing?

I'd say,

it's fairly obvious. What are you doing back so soon?

Oh, my meeting

got rescheduled, decided to take an earlier flight.

Apparently, not early enough.

What did you do, you little tramp?

You tell your mommy that you were sleeping

over your girlfriend's house?

Hey, what's the matter with you, Lexi?

This is a matter of convenience, remember?

Yeah,

well, it's not gonna be very convenient

if we all get thrown in jail for fraud, is it?

- You better get out... - Oh, excuse me!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Enough! Look, I love this woman, and we had an agreement.

No, I never agreed to get

humiliated in my own home.

You know, I am human. I do have feelings, too.

You know what? I've had enough of this. I'm out of here.

No. -Megan, wait.

Wait, wait, wait a minute, Coop.

We need to talk about this, and...

I got to get out of here.

I just might kill you.

Dr. Burns.

What a pleasure it is to see you.

Mr. Beck, good to see you.

I hope I'm not intruding here.

No, no, no, not at all. Please sit down.

- Oh, thank you. - Can I get you a drink?

No, no, no, no, really, really.

How you feeling? You taking those meds?

Absolutely. Feel a thousand percent, thanks to you.

Oh, I just did what doctors do.

Oh, no, no.

You took my case when all others had written me off.

You saved my life, Peter.

That's not something I take lightly.

You know, I didn't get to where I am by beating around the bush.

I can tell something's on your mind.

Well, you always were a very astute man.

When I got out of surgery,

I told you, if there was ever anything you needed,

anything at all, all you had to do is ask,

it'd be done.

Yes, I remember.

Anything, Doctor.

Now, what could I do for you?

There's a woman I know.

She owns an advertising agency.

No. I'd be glad to do it, Alison,

for old time's sake.

Good-bye.

That was Alison?

- No. - Yeah, it was.

I heard you say her name.

What were you talking about?

She's applying for a job,

and she needed a recommendation from me.

I thought she already had a pretty good job.

Well, she lost it.

Alison's been having

some adjustment problems in Atlanta.

How do you know all this?

- I know, that's all. - How do you know?

- I've been in touch with her. - Since when?

Since she left L.A., if that's all right with you.

Actually, I've...

I've helped her get a few different jobs.

She's fallen off the wagon a couple of times,

and has been in and out of rehab.

When were you...?

I mean, you never

bothered to tell me any of this?

What were you gonna do, run off and save her?

Yeah, maybe.

- Maybe I'll call her right now. - You can't!

She's on her way into another treatment program,

and they don't allow calls there.

Look, Billy, you have a life here.

Don't blow it on a flaky ex-girlfriend

out of some misplaced sense of debt.

Hello.

Hi, Jeff.

Um, it's so good to hear your voice.

Hi, Sam. What's up?

Well, um, I just miss you. That's all.

I've been thinking about you, and about what you said,

and...

I want to make things right between us.

Okay, what do you have in mind?

Um, well, um, I want to be there for you.

Whenever and wherever you are.

Um, I just... I just need you to do me one favor,

and I promise I won't ask anything again.

Have you been to Atlanta yet?

No. I get there in a couple of days.

Hi, Michael.

Hey, why were you at the hospital so long?

Oh, surgery.

You could have at least called.

Yeah, well, I was busy.

And you stayed an extra day in Chicago at that stupid reunion.

Even though you're a pain, it got kind of lonely

here without you.

Here, I made you something.

What's this?

Our baby.

He's been kicking me all day, and

I have to pee every ten minutes, and my back hurts

and I just don't feel good!

Uh, Taylor, why don't you take a warm shower?

I'm gonna make myself a stiffer drink.

Okay, but you have to promise to rub my shoulders when I get out.

Fine. I'll be there in a few minutes.

Okay.

Oh, geez, what now?

Hello.

Michael, hi. It's me.

Jane. Jane, uh, is everything okay?

Everything's fine. Perfect, in fact.

Listen, I'm, uh... I'm calling from the road.

Oh, oh. You're on your way to dinner?

No, no. I'm here. I'm in L.A.

I got a rental car at the airport.

I am about to turn on PCH right now.

I will be at your place in about five, ten minutes.

I-I know this is a big leap,

but it's like you said this morning.

I do deserve a good life, and I've decided to try it out here.

- You're in L.A.?! - Hey, I'll be

ready for that back rub in a couple of minutes.
