You're Ryan's daughter?

But don't you live in New York?

- Not anymore. - Oh, great. You ran away?

Look, do you know where my father is or not?

He's probably out on a hot date.

With Megan?

Wait a second.

I'm-I'm Megan.

I mean, with the other Megan, the Megan who came to see me

in New York with...

with you.

Where's your collar, Father?

Um...

- Father? - Kid's delusional.

Uh-huh. Why don't you come in and we'll have some hot cocoa,

and we'll straighten everything out, okay?

Now, by any chance,

did the other Megan have red hair?

- Yeah. How'd you know? - Well, sometimes

people get us confused.

Oh, calm down, Ryan. I mean,

if it weren't for you, she wouldn't have run away

- in the first place. - Oh, you're kidding, now it's my fault?

I mean, you're constantly upsetting her.

You're coming by whenever you feel like it

and calling at all hours.

I don't know who the hell you think you are.

Well, he's her father.

- You stay out of this. - No, no, I am her father,

and you know what, I think you're doing anything you can

- to turn Sarah against me. - Oh, please!

What?

Mayday. Ryan's kid just walked

through Megan's front door.

What? What is it?

Oh, my God.

I found Sarah; she's in California.

California?

Sarah, honey?

No, no, no, no, this is Michael, honey.

Sarah honey's in the kitchen having cocoa with Megan.

- Hold on; I'll get her for you. - Let me speak to her.

I'm talking to my daughter; Do you mind?

Sarah, don't ask me how,

but I found your father.

Daddy?

Hey, Sarah, you okay?

I'm fine; where are you?

I'm at St. Agnes, at your school.

Why did you run away?

I wanted to see you.

I needed to see you.

Oh, well, look, I'll see you tomorrow.

I'm gonna have Megan take you

over to Uncle Kyle's at the beach.

You'll really like him.

Okay, everything's gonna be all right.

I'll be back before you know it.

Can you let me talk to Megan now?

Uh, Ryan?

Hey, listen, I know the timing's kind of awkward,

but will you do me a favor; take Sarah over to Kyle's?

Well, why can't she stay here?

I don't want her near Michael, and you know,

don't take this the wrong way,

but neither of you two are family.

All right, you're right, uh, she needs to be with family.

Um, I-I'll take her right over.

Tell Kyle I'll pick her up tomorrow.

And, Megan, um,

thanks.

She's okay; Kyle's gonna take care of her.

No, I'm the one who's responsible.

- I should be... - No, I know that you're responsible,

Okay, I'm sure you take great care of Sarah,

but you must have said something to her to get her to run

across the country like that.

I never said or did anything.

All right, you guys, look,

shouldn't we just be happy that Sarah's okay?

- Yeah. - She'll be okay when she's back here

- where she belongs. - Well, we'll see.

That's one of the reasons I came out

was to find out if she does belong here.

Are you threatening a custody battle?

You know, I guess I am.

Come on, Lexi.

I wonder why Sarah ran away.

What did she say, huh?

Lexi, I know that you're up to your butt in all this.

Unless, of course, you can explain why Michael

called you when Sarah showed up on Megan's doorstep?

I didn't think so.

I'm sure there's a logical explanation for this,

other than the one

- that's raising my blood pressure. - Yeah,

- and you'll never guess what. - Trying not to.

Uh,

you're never gonna believe who this is.

Sarah,

I want you to meet your Aunt Amanda.

Hi, Aunt Amanda.

Aunt Amanda?

Uh, Ryan's daughter.

Oh.

Oh, of course, Ryan's daughter.

She's just spending the night.

We're making up her bed; Ryan's in New York.

Oh, well, that bed looks pretty comfy,

and I'm exhausted and I want to get in my bed, too,

so what do you say we have a contest

and see who can fall asleep first?

- You're on. - Okay, well, I should get going.

I'll see you in the morning, and you sooner than that I hope.

Sleep tight.

You can go ahead.

I can take care of this.

But Daddy always says my prayers with me.

Now I lay me down to sleep...

I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

Love stay with me through the night,

and wake me with the morning light.

- Good morning. - Hey.

Made you some fresh Colombian kick-start,

- just the way you like it. - Oh, just what I need; thank you.

What you need to do is get away from that club

- for a while. - Oh, I'll be all right.

Amanda had me entertaining Tony Marlin again, that's all.

She's really trying to land his cruise line account.

She wanted me to make sure he had a good time.

What does that mean?

"Have a good time"?

I don't know, talk to him,

sing to him,

give him a special night.

Well, I could say something right now,

but we'd probably wind up fighting.

Peter, I'm Amanda's person entertainment consultant.

It sounds to me like you're turning into his concubine.

God, I hope that's a joke.

Eve, listen to me.

You know, Amanda uses people

to get ahead, especially in business.

Now, friend or no friend,

I'm just warning you, you could get hurt here.

Don't worry, I won't get hurt.

I won't let that happen.

Well, maybe you might consider being

my entertainment consultant for a quick little trip to Maui.

The tickets.

- You got them. - Tickets?

Where did those... I don't...

Tickets, I mean... Do you want to go?

- I still want to go, yes! - I don't even know...

Peter, I love you.

Oh, I can't believe how late I am.

Michael, stop right there.

You're not going anywhere until I get the truth,

and don't tell me you have one of those faces.

Sarah recognizes you from New York.

Okay, okay, I ran into her once, but that's it.

Where? In New York? At the zoo?

At the Natural History Museum in Central Park?

Actually,

it was at St. Agnes School for Girls.

But it was Lexi's idea.

She was doing a background check on, well, Ryan.

Well, first I talked to Gail and Robin and Jennifer

about your engagements, and...

Wait-wait, check that... First I got them drunk.

You talked to my ex-fiancés?

Mm, yeah. Lunch at the Palm Court.

All three of them together?

Mm-hmm, and they all had

the same story: you get engaged,

and then you get cold feet.

And sure enough, when you came back from New York,

you broke off your engagement with Megan.

See, Lexi realized that something

or someone was keeping Ryan from getting married,

and he wasn't talking.

So, uh, we, I mean,

she figured the answer was in New York.

So, we broke into your apartment,

looking for any sort of, uh, clues,

and sure enough, we found the visitor's pass to St. Agnes.

You broke into my apartment?

You broke into his apartment?

Not exactly; we drugged him first.

From there, it was easy.

I mean, we went to St. Agnes school,

and we found Sarah.

Wait a minute, how'd you get into St. Agnes?

You have to be either a relative or work there.

Or a nun.

You pretended to be a nun?

You dressed up like a priest?

Believe it or not, I was very convincing.

I had this heart-to-heart with Sarah,

and I told her that, you know, you'd never get engaged again

without her permission.

The letter?

So, that's why he came by my apartment

the other night; he wanted to tell me about Sarah,

and the letter, and the whole thing.

And that's why he wanted me to know about the affair with Lexi,

because he wanted me to break off the engagement

because Sarah didn't want him to get married again.

Megan, I'm glad you understand why I did what I did.

Understand?

I'm a heartbeat away from strangling you, Michael.

Ryan, I only did this

because I love you.

You're my Mr. Right.

You always have been.

I had to take some desperate measures.

Desperate? No, no.

Pathetic measures, Lexi, okay?

If these windows opened right now, you'd be skydiving.

It's no wonder Megan hates me.

I can't imagine Ryan's pain.

Poor Megan.

Poor Ryan.

Miss Woodward, would you like to join your party now?

Oh, I'm not ready to interrupt just yet.

Okay.

So, I stood in center field on that Saturday,

and I sang the national anthem to a sold-out stadium.

I don't... I was 13 years old.

I don't know whether I was fearless or incredibly naive.

You don't strike me as naive.

Oh, you wouldn't say that if you knew me better.

Growing up in Oakhurst, California,

15 years in prison for a crime you didn't commit.

I make it a point to really get to know people.

Who told you? Amanda?

No, I just did a little checking.

On Amanda, too.

So far, I've been impressed with everything I've seen

on both of you.

Tony, I'm sorry I'm late.

Traffic was horrible.

I hate to say this, Amanda,

but, uh, we're gonna have to talk later.

I'm already pushing my next meeting.

Oh, later, of course,

but just so you know, the plans for your commercial

are coming along beautifully.

I'm sure you'll be impressed; oh, and

I'll call you later with an incredible casting suggestion.

I can't wait.

Thank you

for a memorable breakfast.

Good work.

What do you mean?

I didn't do anything; I was just supposed to be here

to help you sell an idea.

Well, you sold the idea all right.

The idea was you.

You're gonna be my casting suggestion.

You're gonna star in our commercial.

But why me?

Well, let's see.

Because your my friend,

because you're inexpensive,

and because Tony Marlin adores you.

I don't know.

What's there to know?

I mean, this is a chance of a lifetime.

Where would Kathie Lee be

if she hadn't done a commercial and met Frank Gifford?

Hmm?

First of all, I already have my Frank Gifford

and all the money I need, and second of all, I can't act.

This isn't about acting.

This is about using your spectacular good looks.

You're beautiful.

Just think beautiful and help me.

Please. All I'm asking is for one week out of your life

to shoot the commercial.

And if Tony buys it,

my agency is the biggest on the West Coast,

and I don't have to grovel after smaller clients.

Please, please do this for me.

Okay, all right.

All right, you have a deal on one condition.

Don't ever compare me to Kathie Lee ever again.

Ever.

All right.

- Oh! - Oh!

Megan?

- Hi. - Hi.

Welcome back.

Thanks.

Um, I was just getting a blanket.

I came by to check on Sarah, and Kyle invited me to stay, so...

Oh, yeah. Well, thanks again for bringing her here.

- Yeah. She's an amazing kid. - Yeah.

- I know she's dying to see you. - Mm.

Um... now that you're here, I should probably get going.

They're just down at the beach.

I just want to say,

I'm sorry for the way I treated you,

for the things that I said.

It was stupid. It was cruel.

No, I understand.

- You do? - Mm-hmm.

I mean, my God, all those things

that Michael and Lexi did to you.

Daddy!

Sarah!

Sarah.

Hey. Ah.

All right. Hey, is this your Frisbee?

- Got your note. - Oh.

- Oh, my God. - What?

What have you done to Amanda's apartment?

It looks like a brothel in here.

You would know.

Oh, uh, by the way, if you weren't aware of it,

you're gonna have to find a new boy to seduce.

Ryan is probably out shopping

- for swing sets by now, thanks to you. - Would you quit

panicking? This is just a temporary setback.

You know, I don't know why

I listen to you in the first place.

I had Megan in the palm of my hand.

And now, I'm dead in the water.

It's all over.

Oh, yeah, Megan Shmegan, honey.

It's not over till I say it's over.

We just have to make a few little adjustments.

Like what? Shooting the kid?

No, Michael.

Actually, the kid is not our problem.

The kid is our solution.

Once I'm done with her,

she's gonna beg Ryan to marry me.

Wow.

Using a kid.

How low can you go?

A lot lower.

I mean, I used you, didn't I?

Mm.

How's it going?

It's going.

You missed a good dinner.

It was nice to see Sarah and Ryan hanging out together.

I bet. In the same room and everything.

So what are you working on, the new account?

I'm working on how to pay for it.

In order to produce the commercial, I have to downsize.

I'm letting half my staff go.

Wait.

- Is that Jane's name? - Yeah.

It's a tough call, but the truth is,

Jane's okay financially.

She's your friend.

We're staying at her beach house rent-free.

I'm aware of that.

Really? Are you really?

You know what? Who gives a damn about your commercial?

We're-we're talking about friends.

We're talking about loyalty.

You know this may seem heartless to you,

but it's business to me, good business.

So you abandon Jane for the bottom line?

Listen to you.

You'd think she was your mother or wife or lover.

What's that supposed to mean?

You tell me, Mr. Handy-To-Have-Around-The-House.

Oh, okay.

I get it. So, you can't keep her on

because she's your friend.

You have to fire her because she's my friend?

- This is going nowhere. - You're right.

You fire Jane, you and I are through.

You put on sun block

- like I asked? - Tons, Dad.

- I'll be the palest person in California. - Mm.

I'll look like I don't even live here.

You know, we still have to talk about that.

You mean, how I got all the way across the country by myself.

I cashed in Aunt Terry's frequent flyer miles.

All of 'em.

Oh, no.

- Ryan McBride? - That's me.

I need your signature on line one.

Uh-huh.

Thank you.

Bad news?

Oh, it's a letter from some lawyers.

They want me to return you to your Aunt Terry.

What if I don't want to be returned?

Don't you worry about it.

I want you to have fun at the beach,

and I'll take care of the rest.

I can get lawyers, too, you know.

But I want to stay with you.

They can't make me go back, can they?

If they do, it'll just be for a while, I promise.

I apologize for the short notice,

but what I have to say is very important.

Sorry I'm late.

You're just in time.

I have some bad news.

This agency is at a critical point in its history,

and in order to survive, we're gonna have to downsize.

So I'm asking those of you whose names are on the list

to stay with me and work harder than ever.

And those of you who are leaving,

I offer my sincere regrets.

Thank you for understanding.

- What about...? - This can't be happening.

All right.

Let me talk to her.

Jane... you've been here longer than me, okay?

I'll talk to Amanda. She can fire me,

- and you can stay. - What are you

saying? I should go. Last hired, fired.

No, I'm gonna be fine, okay? Let me take care of it.

Oh, you won't be fine.

You can't win a custody fight

without a job.

Neither of you is going anywhere.

The truth is, I'm not right for this business.

I-I don't have the stomach for it.

Oh!

It's not fair.

Jane, I don't want you to think...

What? That this is personal?

Of course it is. You and I both know it.

Hey, Sarah.

Remember me?

You're the one who pretended to be a nun

and pretended to be Megan.

Who are you pretending to be today?

What are you doing here, Lexi?

Oh.

Is that her real name?

Uh, I think so.

Oh, you McBrides... You're all alike.

Such kidders.

Listen, Sarah, I was just

thinking about going to Disneyland.

You want to join me?

Thanks, but I'd rather be

with my father and my uncle.

And the real Megan.

Oh. Well, what about...

Let's you and I take a walk, Lexi.

I'll be right back, sweetheart.

Hmm.

- Come on. - Hmm.

What's going on, Lexi? What are you up to?

What? Sarah and I are friends.

I thought we could have a good time.

Come on. You're acting like

I got some sort of hidden agenda.

Huh? What's hidden about it?

I want to thank you for stopping by.

Next time, call first.

- You'll save on gas. - Mm, mock away, smart ass.

But I love children, and children love me.

Outside of Michael, what children do you know?

Hmm.

Hey! Wha...?

- Uncle Kyle? - Yes?

Exactly when are you taking me to Disneyland?

When am I taking you to Disneyland?

Right after we put a few more nails in some wood.

Come on. Ready?

Thanks.

Hey. What's so urgent?

I came here as soon as I could.

- I've got great news. - Dom Pérignon?

Well, what are we celebrating?

Amanda cast me in her new commercial.

I am the spokesperson for Tony Marlin's cruise line.

Really? Well, that's-that's great.

I know what you're thinking, but I owe this to Amanda

for everything she's done for me.

Yeah. Spokesperson, huh?

Actually, I get to sing, too.

Kind of like Kathie Lee, but Peter,

I want you to know that I won't put business before us.

Amanda or no Amanda.

Well, okay, let's, uh...

let's get to the champagne, then, huh?

A little celebration... To Maui and to your new job.

To Maui.

To the next Kathie Lee.

Uh.

♪♪

♪ Feel the heat, move your feet... ♪

Hey, what's up?

Dad's in the conference room.

I couldn't take it anymore, listening to them

trying to pick out a song for that commercial.

He's got a tin ear, you know.

♪ Uh-uh... ♪

♪♪

Hey. Just, uh, picking a song out.

This is, uh, great stuff, this Latin, uh, stuff.

It's got its own rhythm thing.

So, Sarah tells me you could use some help.

No, no, I'm fine, fine.

Just, uh, you know, narrowing it down.

So what are you down to?

Oh, about 135 songs.

I feel like I'm losing my mind. It's all sounding the same.

Oh, I lose this one.

I have this at home.

Remember? I used to play this when, uh...

we, uh...

Oh. -Uh...

Well, to be honest with you,

I wasn't really paying attention.

I was concentrating on other things.

- Mmm. - Remember?

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. It's coming back to me now.

Makes me want to move.

- Mm. - Mmm.

Yeah, makes me want to dance.

No, no, no. Move. There's a big difference, you know.

There is a big difference.

Huge.

Um, yeah.

Great, uh, yeah.

Um, that's it; that's the song.

I'm glad I could help; good night everyone.

Yeah, thanks.

What was that all about?

Oh, yeah, that. We were...

We were just, um, just dancing.

That wasn't dancing.

Even at St. Agnes,

they teach sex education.

Yeah.

Oh, geez, this is impossible.

This furniture doesn't fit.

Michael, you're supposed to have the skilled hands of a surgeon.

Don't knock these hands.

You bought a defective dollhouse.

Pieces are missing.

Oh...

You see that?

- Nothing fits. - Michael, trust me.

This is gonna benefit us both.

You're gonna be thanking me big time

Oh, all over a doll house?

- I don't think so. - This is not just a dollhouse.

This is a home.

Look, with a mommy, hm?

And a daddy.

Look, and a little girl.

You see, it's a family.

This is exactly what Sarah wants.

What are you doing?

Well, I'm just checking to see if it's anatomically correct.

Let me get this straight.

The red-haired doll, that's Lexi,

and this stud doll, this is Ryan, huh?

And the little girl is Sarah.

You see, this is... it's a game that you're getting.

It's played on sentiment, not sex.

And if you play your game right,

you'll end up with your own dollhouse

with a nice, little, blonde ex-hooker to go with it, hm?

Is Kyle home?

No.

- Did you tell him? - Oh,

and spoil your fun?

We'll be out first thing in the morning,

unless you want to throw us out tonight.

Yeah, y-you'd like that, wouldn't you?

You'd like me to throw you out

so that you can look like the victim

and I would look like the bitch.

Jane, none of this has been easy.

Don't take it personally.

How should I take it?

I mean, I was your friend, and you fired me.

And then you cut me out, like you cut out everyone

sooner or later, like you're cutting out Kyle now.

- Leave Kyle out of this. - Why?

I mean, that is why you fired me,

because you're jealous of our relationship.

Oh, now it's a relationship?

Kyle called it a friendship.

Well, as a friend, I think you treat him crappy.

Well, who the hell asked you?

If he doesn't share your dream,

he doesn't share your life, right, Amanda?

You know, I shouldn't just fire you.

I should kick your ass.

Take your best shot.

You're scared,

aren't you, Amanda?

I mean, you pretend to be the big boss,

but in the end, you're just cowering in the corner

like some kind of an animal.

Kyle is mine.

You go near him,

and I'll eat you alive.

Mm-hmm, it's coming back to me.

- Makes me want to move. - Mmm.

Well, um, the dinner's cold,

and the wine is-is warm.

But, um, we can still decorate the Christmas tree.

That was the whole idea, right?

Just to do that together?

W-Was it the whole idea?

Oh, sure.

I mean, I did go out and buy the tree and the ornaments.

I mean, I'm ready.

Well, yeah, I'm ready, too.

I've been ready for weeks.

We're not talking about Christmas trees anymore, are we?

What Christmas tree?

Nancy McBrady's father stares into space.

He had a nervous breakdown, whatever that means.

I'm not having a nervous breakdown.

I'm just, uh,

thinking is all.

You're funny.

You love Megan, Megan loves you.

You're happy when you're with her,

and you're sad when you're not.

You two should be together.

So, what do you do? You think about it?

I just want to be sure.

How long did you think before you were sure about Mom?

I didn't do a whole lot of thinking in those days.

I acted first, and if I thought about it,

it was much later.

Lucky for me.

Yeah.

Is Megan a lot like Mom?

How do you mean?

Did you laugh with Mom

the way you laugh with Megan?

Did you dance with her

the way that you danced last night?

Is that why you love Megan?

Because she reminds you of Mom?

No, no, I love Megan because she reminds me of Megan.

And I love Mom because she reminds me of Mom.

If anybody reminds me of Mom, it's you.

I mean, you're beautiful

like she was, you're smart, you're brave.

You mean Mom wasn't afraid of the dark or the boogeyman?

No, no, I mean, Mom wasn't afraid

to stand up for what she believed it, just like you.

You're not afraid to say what's on your mind.

I'm not as brave as you think.

There's something I've been afraid of, and I never told you.

I'm afraid of that if you forget about Mom,

you'll forget about me.

That's why I made you promise not to get married again.

Oh, honey, I'll never forget about you.

I love you.

I love you more than anything.

Maybe you should break that promise.

It was stupid anyway.

No, it wasn't.

Dad?

What I mean is

maybe it's time to stop thinking

and start proposing.

That's good advice.

Since you know so much,

why don't you show me how to fly that thing.

Think you can handle it?

I don't know.

All right.

You're up early. Big day?

Very big. We're moving.

We're what?

We can't live here anymore.

- It's destroying us. - What are you talking about?

What's going on?

Oh, no.

You did it; you fired Jane when I told you...

Don't go there.

Don't tell me how to run my business.

No, I am trying to tell you how to act like a human being.

No, you're threatening me and giving me ultimatums.

How human is that?

You're destroying our marriage.

Well, we've got to do something.

Yeah, we fix it; we work on it.

Or put it out of its misery.

Hey.

You can't mean that.

Every word.

You know what, I get it now.

This is your way out.

You knew how I was gonna react.

This had nothing to do with Jane; Jane was just

another disposable friendship.

Jane got exactly what she deserved.

Yeah, so did I, I guess.

No, you got the best of me and it was never enough.

But you're free now.

You can go find that ideal woman.

Hell, she might even be in that beach house.

You are my ideal woman.

No, I have too much ambition for you,

and you can't deal with it.

You can't keep up.

Hey there, kiddo.

Put on your clown makeup because we have tickets

to the circus.

Um, uh, gee,

um, I don't think so, but thanks anyway.

What? You don't like the circus?

You know what, I don't blame you.

Those animals smell.

No problem.

Why don't you and I take a little cruise

down Rodeo Drive, huh?

Do a little damage on my gold card.

Um, it's okay.

I'm happy here.

Well, right, who wouldn't be with a brand-new dollhouse, huh?

You like it, don't you?

Lexi, you don't have to do this.

What? I love dollhouses.

You don't have to win me over just to get to Dad.

Oh.

Well, I just wanted you to like me.

It doesn't matter who I like.

It matters who he likes,

and from everything I've seen so far,

Megan's the one for him.

Well, honey, I don't know about that.

She's the only woman he ever talks about,

the only woman he ever dances with, the only woman

he ever kisses, the only woman he ever...

Enough. I get the point.

Sorry.

If you want your dollhouse back,

I'll understand.

How about lunch at Spago's?

There's tons of movie stars, huh?

Maybe some other time.

Hey, Pete.

- Hey. Buy you a beer? - Yeah.

- Sounds good. - Look, I made an offer to Eve.

I'm selling my 50% of the club,

and since she already owns half, I'm giving her first shot.

So you and Amanda are getting out of the business?

This doesn't have anything to do with me and Amanda.

This has to do with me selling my 50%.

- Hey. - Hey.

Kyle tell you about his offer? Isn't that great?

Yeah. Yeah, it's nice.

It's a big decision.

You know, maybe we ought to think about it.

Oh, yeah, sure. No. Take your time.

- Uh, Kyle, can you just give us a second? - Yeah.

Look, if you want to buy this club...

No, no, no, no, no.

That's not what this is about.

They want to shoot the commercial

the exact same time we're in Maui.

Shoot it next week?

It took me a month to arrange my schedule.

I know, but Amanda's in this huge hurry,

and there's nothing I can do.

Well, then, forget about it. Blow the job off. Quit.

You know I can't do that.

Well, they have to rearrange your schedule then.

I can't ask them to do that.

Well, I can.

Got to hand it to you, Amanda.

It's coming together.

I knew you'd like it.

Hey. Hope I'm not crashing the party.

- I was in the neighborhood, so... - Oh, come in.

Um, uh, Tony Marlin, this is Peter Burns.

- This is Eve's husband. - Hey, Tony.

Nice to meet you, Doc.

Great save over at that hospital.

Bought the whole thing, I understand.

- Yeah. - Sort of the way I do business.

Someone irritates me, I put them out of business.

What do you think?

Wow! Look at that.

You know, it's too bad you're shooting

that commercial next week.

Eve and I are gonna be in Maui.

Since when?

Amanda didn't mention it.

I'll leave this to you to handle,

Amanda.

I've got to run.

You'll work it out?

Yes.

Nice to meet you, Doc.

Oh, you, too, sir.

I have a million dollars riding on this, and you

expect me to put it off so that you can take a vacation?

Maybe you and Kyle should take one.

When I need a travel agent, I'll call one.

Why don't you just admit it? Your marriage is on the rocks.

So what if it is?

That doesn't change the start date of the commercial.

All right, Amanda,

I'm-I'm asking you as a friend here.

And if I don't say yes, you'll hate me, right?

Well, I don't care if you hate me,

I don't care if Kyle hates me, or Jane hates me.

It doesn't matter anymore.

In fact, I would like nothing better than to be left alone.

You split up with Kyle, didn't you?

That's right.

My marriage is over.

And for the first time in a long time, I feel great.

So, if you'll get out of here, I can finish my work.

What?!

Nothing.

Wow.

I love all the new lingerie you bought me.

You're taking this on your cruise?

What kind of business trip is this anyway, huh?

The kind a wife can get very lonely on

unless her husband was there every night to tear these off.

You want me to go on this cruise with you?

I packed all sorts of things to make you forget Maui.

Well, what am I gonna do the whole time?

There are 24 hours in a day.

I only work eight of them.

So you can just imagine all the things we can do

with the other 16.

Boggles the mind.

Oh, yeah.

Mmm.

I told you that little girl would be a problem, but no.

Yeah, well, she says

that Megan is the only woman that Ryan ever talks about.

Or dances with, or kisses, or etcetera, etcetera.

You mean Megan is doing etcetera, etcetera

behind my back?

Honey, she's probably doing etcetera, etcetera right now.

What do you expect? She's a slut.

Whoa, hey, hey, that's the woman I love you're talking about.

You don't love her. You just want her.

- Men just want women. - Yeah, at least men know what they want.

That's more than I can say for women.

Yeah, you just want her because you can't have her.

- No way. - Oh.

If I wanted every woman I couldn't have, I'd go crazy.

Michael, you're living in this dump, you're playing with dolls.

That's not crazy?

Well, I mean, you know, we needed a better plan.

Oh, I was a great nun.

- What?! - Yeah.

Yeah, and that searching for Mr. Right.

Headhunting for a mate.

You know, that's for geeks.

Not for a woman of... of your anatomy.

Anatomy? You know, that is such a doctor's word.

I've had my fill of doctors.

Oh, yeah? Well, I've had my fill of redheads.

Uh, uh, great. Now, I'm just another redhead?

Honey, you don't know redheads until you know this redhead.

Oh, yeah. Well, I've never met a redhead

who undressed in a laundry room before.

Well, it's my laundry room. I can do whatever I want in it.

- Etcetera, etcetera? - Hell, yeah. -Mmm.

Oh.

Ooh, Michael. Oh!

Are you sure you want to do this?

Send Sarah back to New York?

Well, just until I can get a lawyer

and open up the custody question again.

Hey, um, thanks for everything you've done.

Yeah?

So what are we gonna do about us, huh?

Oh, yeah, that's right.

Well, I know what I don't want to do.

I don't want to mess up again.

Or rush into anything.

Or send mixed signals.

I always send mixed signals.

Change your mind.

You changed your mind, too.

Yeah, but it was only after you changed your mind.

- It was? - Yeah.

Oh, yeah, I guess it was.

All right, I know that I never want to hurt you again.

Can we start from there?

Yeah, I think that's a great start.

I never spent so much money for a candy bar

- in my entire life. - Flight 55

- to New York is now boarding... - Oop, that's your flight.

Uh, look, I'm gonna call you every day.

I can't do this. I can't

- go back. - Yeah, I know.

This is hard, but you have to, just for a little while.

Oh, my God, look at you two.

This is crazy. You're family.

Family should stick together.

If you're gonna have a custody fight,

I think you should fight it from here.

I don't know. We'd be risking everything.

Well, risk it, damn it. She's worth it.

Yeah, damn it, I'm worth it.

Yeah, damn it, you are worth it.

Don't ever use the word "damn it" again.

Oh.

Amanda, good. Finally.

Well, I had to make a stop before I came here.

I guess I should have called first.

I was beginning to think that you changed your mind again.

Oh, quite the opposite.

And I happened to bring along another check

for the entire sum of my investment.

And some champagne to celebrate our new club.

I guess this means it's really gonna happen, huh?

I guess so.

Congratulations, partner.

You know what? What do you say

we keep this professional, and we just shake hands?

Kyle, if you're still feeling weird about that kiss thing

- last night... - No. No weirdness at all.

I mean, we're business partners, nothing more, so,

let's skip the bubbly, get our club built.

Hey. What are you doing here?

Uh...

Um, those things I said...

I-I don't know where all that came from.

Yeah, I never should have said the things I said, either.

- I'm sorry. - Me, too. I'm...

I'm sorry for every fight that we ever had.

But fight... couples fight.

Yeah, about the small things,

but for you and me, it was always the big things.

Somewhere along the line, I lost you.

You lost the fantasy of who you wanted me to be.

- Ah. - Someone I could never be.

And I-I don't do well during bad times.

And there were plenty of those, right?

Burning down the house, rehab.

The baby.

Right now.

Uh, yeah.

I'm selling my half of the club to Eve

to give you the money.

Oh, you don't have to do that.

For your half of the beach house.

I want to finish it this time.

You'll be happy there.

Yeah.

I hope you don't

- hate me. - No, I don't.

I thought I would, but I don't.

I just feel empty.

Yeah.

And a little relieved.

- I mean... I mean... - I...

I know what you mean.

It's funny.

This is where it all started, right?

Right here in this room.

You giving me the money for my dream.

And this is where it ends, with me giving it back.

Forgive me.

Yeah.

Hey.

Please forgive me.

- Yeah. - Yeah.
