Previously on Ally McBeal.

You're suing me?

I think it's time for you to cry.

You need to go to Detroit.
Can't take him away

from his mother,
and he needs his father.

You still haven't really given
me an answer, Melanie.

John, you can't just
propose to somebody

inside the wall of a bathroom stall...

and expect a quick answer.

Ling and I got biblical
one evening after we met in a bar.

-You had sex?
-Yes.

Oh.

This thing between you
and Ling--Is it over or not?

It's over.

Melanie, I don't want to be
engaged to a person...

who can't conceive
of "happily ever after."

I'm willing to work on it.

[Larry] That dream you had
where I left with a note?

That'd be exactly what I'd do.
I will come back.

I know you will, baby.

Or you'll come to Detroit.

Mmm. Or I'll come
to Detroit.

[Bell Dings]

Oh. Oh, hi. Excuse me.
Um--

Can you tell me
how much longer till we land?

We just took off.

[Chuckles]
Oh.

Right. So, can you tell me
how long this flight is?

Just over three hours.

Oh, that's great.
That's great,

'cause I'm going to Detroit.

Yes. As is the plane.

[Chuckling]

[Mutters]

Don't you just love Detroit?

You got a fella there.

Well, actually, I do.
[Chuckles]

How long
since you've seen him?

Six weeks.

Oh, goodness. I imagine
he'll be quite frisky.

Probably picking out his
little condom as we speak.

Does he wear
a condom, sweetheart,

or are you on the pill?

Well--

They have pills for men now.
Did you know that, honey?

Oh, they've got little pills
for everything.

If he can't get firm, they've
got a little Viagra pill.

Now they have other
little tablets to make

little spermy soldiers
shoot blanks.

Oh. Six weeks?

He's probably got the
whole artillery lined up.

He's--Excuse me.

I'm-I'm, um, gonna go
to the little ladies' room.

Gonna go put your little
"diaphragmy" in, I'll bet.

A three-hour flight, dear--
It'll ride up on you.

Mmm. Ah. Hi.

Um--Um--Uh--
The lavatory?

First door on your left.

Not that door!

[Screaming]

[Gasping]

[Pants]
Oh.

-[Both Scream]
-[Screaming]

[Screaming]

-[Gasping]
-[Shouts] What are you doing?

I-I--I thought that it was you.
I-I--I--

Oh, my God.

No, no, Renee,
I didn't know that you two--

Get out. Get out!

Get out, Ally!
Get out! Get out!

I can't believe it.

I slept with him
on a first date.

Renee, it took me
and Larry two months--

Yes, and that's
another discussion.

-I can't believe it.
-What happened?

Okay. Well, he dropped me off.
He was actually leaving.

-We kissed.
-You kissed?

Ally, we had sex.

Right. Right. So you kissed on
the first date. Fine. Then what?

And then it sort of led
to a second kiss.

And during that second kiss,

my hand just kinda...
slid down a little.

What do you mean,
it slid down a little?

It slid.

It slid, "oops,"
or it slid, "I moved it"?

-I moved it.
-Frontal or "backal"?

Backal.
And then after mine slid down,

his kinda slid down.

And then we started
grabbing, and next--

Okay, okay.
Where is he now?

He left
after you rushed in.

He didn't even
stay the night?

No! He said, you know--

[Both]
He had an early morning.

Oh. Oh. Oh.
Okay, okay, okay.

Okay, things happen.

Okay? Just remember me
and the car wash.

Yeah. But I like the guy,
Ally.

Watch. I'm never, ever
gonna hear from him again.

Okay, uh, let's get started.
Seats, please.

First up, Bennett versus Clapp.

What this?
Another annulment case?

We're becoming a little
niche firm in annulments.

-John, help me out.
-Well, our client,

Eric Bennett, took Mary Clapp
to be his wife.

One presupposition of

the marriage is that
they would raise a family.

Now she has decided
she doesn't want children,

neither vaginally nor through
cesarean nor adoption.

Obviously, that's
unacceptable to our client.

He wants the union dissolved.

Oh, please.

Thank you, Nelle,
for that thoughtful input.

Is he prepared to stay home,
give up his job,

scrape pieces of vomit
off the little burpy blanket,

aspirate the mucus out of its
little plugged nose,

wipe its bottom clean
from lime green poopy?

You certainly hit
the big issues.

Why don't they just divorce?

Well, divorce
is a blemish, Mark.

It could also be against God,

-depending on your religion.
-Is he rich?

Filthy. Yeah, annulment
would be the right result.

[Larry's Voice] It'd be
different if they had a child.

[Giggles]

[Chuckles]
Well, we're not quite done

here, Ally, but, you know,

I love the eager-beaver--
Uh, vulgarism.

What?
[Grunts]

[Exclaims]

Yeah, we just, uh--uh--
Moving on--

-[Sighs]
-What's wrong?

I-I'm just--
I'm starting to, um--

I just--You know,

maybe-maybe
some fresh air.

[Elevator Bell Dings]

I just need some--
[Gasps]

-[Screaming]
-[Body Hits Ground]

-Therapy before?
-Many times.

But I feel like I've been
doing so well lately.

-Airplane?
-Yes.

-Elevator?
-Yes.

-Hallucinations?
-Yes.

-He's been gone--
-Uh, six weeks.

Together how long?

Oh, no, we're still together.

How long before he went
to Detroit?

Oh, uh, two months.

-Married? Ever been?
-No. No.

-Him? Children?
-Once. Some.

-The mother?
-Detroit.

[Sighs]
He's coming back when?

[Stilted Voice]
He hasn't said.

Hmm.

"Hmm"? "Hmm"--
Wh-What does that mean?

"Hmm"--See, that's what
my dentist says

when he sees a cavity.
What does "hmm" mean?

I see a cavity.

End the relationship
with this man.

It's a dead end.
Do it today.

Is there anything else
I can help you with?

Huh--[Stammers]

No, I'm not gonna just--
No, no, see--He loves me.

-Yes, I'm sure he does.
-No, he does. He does.

Detroit is so lovely
in winter.

End the relationship.

He wants to be close
to his son.

Yes. End the relationship.

[Scoffs] No. How can you
just--You don't even know me.

You don't know him.

Ally, I have been doing
this a very long time.

People move in one
of two directions--

forward or backward.

One day you two are together

looking lovingly into
one another's eyes,

the next he's in Detroit
with the mother of his child.

This is not forward.
End the relationship.

While we were dating,

we even talked about the names
we liked best for our children.

We talked about the number
we wanted to have.

How many was that?

Four. Which is a lot
by today's standards, so--

She didn't just want
to have kids.

She wanted to have a lot.

And when she changed
her position

on having a family?

It changed everything.

I won't go so far
as to say I was duped--

Objection. "Duped"
is an inflammatory word.

-He didn't say it.
-I just heard him say it.

-No, he said--
-We all heard--

He wouldn't go so far
as saying it.

He still uttered it.

But in a context
of saying he wasn't saying it.

I want it stricken.

Let's move along.

Mr. Bennett.

We got married in large part
to raise a family.

That was the meeting
of the minds

when we entered
into our marriage contract.

-Oh, I'll object to that.
-Now what?

"Meeting of the minds,"
"contract"--

Counsel has pumped
up the witness with buzzwords.

It's the court
being duped now.

-All right.
-Oh, balls.

-Buzzword.
-[Groans]

You don't need to stare
at yours, Ally.

You can just call Larry.

-You can call Jackson.
-No, I can't.

-Why?
-You know why.

Tell you this--
If he doesn't call...

after where he's just been,
he's a total pig.

Is Larry a pig?

-What?
-Well--

This therapist--
As cold as she was,

it did sound a little
like cold truth.

-Ally--
-Well, Renee,

it's been over a month,

and he has given me
no real indication

of when he's
coming back.

Maybe it does make sense
for me to see other people,

if for no other reason
than to protect myself.

You don't need to be
protecting yourself.

He's in Detroit because he has
a child. He's got a family.

Well, I want a family.
I mean, not now.

Not tomorrow.
But someday. I--Don't you?

-Yes.
-Well, I could be wrong,

but we're both sitting here
staring at our cell phones,

neither of which are ringing.

I don't think we're making
any progress.

[Ringing]

-Hello?
-Hello?

[Ringing]

He's come back
to surprise ya.

Hi.

-Oh, my--Mmm.
-Mmm.

You got issues.

I-I--

[Mutters]

-Hey.
-Hi.

You're embarrassed?

Yes. Well, I slept
with you on the first date.

Why are you embarrassed?

What, man can't get embarrassed?
That's just a woman thing?

-Yes.
-Why?

'Cause guys don't want girls

they can sleep
with on a first date.

-That is a fact.
-Do girls want guys

they can have on a first date?

No.

Oh, okay.

Okay then. Well, I guess
it's settled.

We must not want each other.

-Okay, well--

[Ally] No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no.

Now, of course you want
each other.

Now, you just listen
to your-your, um,

sliding hands.

Now, you are gonna kiss her
like a gentleman,

and then you're gonna
leave like a gentleman,

and then you're gonna call
tomorrow like a gentleman,

and you're gonna
make dinner plans.

Kiss her.

I maintain... you got issues.

Is it your testimony before this
court of law that my client...

did not intend
to have children

on the day you were
wedded in holy matrimony?

-I didn't say that.
-She changed her mind?

-Probably--
-Thank you.

And isn't your testimony
before this court of law,

that when two people join
hands in holy matrimony,

they then become precluded
from changing...

their preconceived aspirations
toward parenthood?

Is that your testimony
before this court of law?

Objection, Your Honor.
We know this is a court of law.

None of us are here to
strike up a game of tennis.

Sanctions.

[John] Throwing out verbiage
like "holy" and "matrimony"

and "court of law"--

all these revered terms,
hoping the reverence

will rub off on him somehow.

This from a man who objects
to the word "dupe."

Listen to me, both of you.

I want this jury to be hearing
the witnesses, not the lawyers.

Mr. Cage, let him finish.

Thank you, Your Honor.
Mr. Bennett,

you have no actual or
constructive knowledge,

do you, sir,
in this court of law...

that my client,
as she took her vows--

and by that, sir, I mean
at the time she took them,

contemporaneously
with the ceremony itself--

Do you know, sir,
that my client,

at that particular juncture,
did not plan to have children?

I already said she may have
changed her mind after.

Thank you.

That concludes this portion
of my cross-examination.

I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know, I don't know,

I don't know,
I don't know.

-Are you losing?
-I might be.

He made a very good point
at the end

about state of mind
at the time of the wedding,

he punctured my momentum
on direct,

then he made a good point
to close his cross.

He's an objectionable
little man

who makes good points,
damn it.

-Damn it!
-[Sighs]

Listen. She's gonna
get up there and testify,

and you're gonna work
your John Cage magic on her.

Maybe I'll come by and watch

and get all hot with desire
just watching you.

Yeah--
All right. Okay, that--

-that would be an overture.
-Yes, it would be.

Can you imagine, the woman

suddenly decides
she doesn't want children?

I mean, isn't that
the essence of getting married?

The essence? No.

But it's
one of the essences.

I don't want
to have children.

[Chuckles]
Okay. Funny.

I don't.

But--
[Stammers]

You don't?

No.

-May I ask why?
-Don't get me wrong.

I love kids.
That's why I teach.

-I just don't--
-[Nose Whistles]

I've upset you.

No, I just, uh--
[Stammering]

-[Stammers, Hums]
-[Hums]

Ally, we always confide

No.

Whatever. You need to talk,
I'm here. Yeah.

[Mutters]
It's just, um--

Well, it's just that I feel
so lucky.

-Lucky?
-Yeah.

Yeah, to have somebody that it
hurts so much to be apart from.

I mean, most people
don't have that.

And I know, you know,

that a love that is so strong
is with you even when he's not,

and it should keep you
strong--and it has.

I mean, I am stronger
than I have ever been, but--

But, see, I just, um--
Well, I get my weekdays.

Yeah. John and I just
went to this therapist--

[Scoffs]
No, no, no.

[Both Talking At Once]

Richard--Richard--
Richard, I have--

This guy's different.

G-G-G-G-G-Go.

[Stammering] I can't even say
I like him, but he got results.

He didn't tell us
what was going on.

He kinda made us discover
the roots by ourselves.

Richard, I don't really
want my roots discovered.

I just want Larry.

Look at me.

You've been
walking around our offices

being the source of
strength for everybody else.

You have to let yourself
cry with somebody,

and, frankly, I don't have
the time or the interest.

This therapist is good.
Give him one try.

I'll find a way to pass
the cost on to a client.

Yeah.

-Hey, Ling.
-Hey. Nice tie.

Just got it.

Oh, yeah.
Big date tonight.

Really? With Renee?

Hmm? Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Let me ask you something.
How well do you know her?

Oh. Pretty well, I guess.

The girls have had a lot of
slumber parties at their place.

I'm not missing anything,
am I?

She's not like
an ax murderer or anything?

She's a pretty
good woman?

She's a great woman.

Okay.

Thanks, Ling.

Uh, where you going
on your date tonight?

Oh. Dinner, and then we'll
probably stop by at the bar.

She's supposed to be
singing tonight.

So, uh, maybe we'll
see you there.

Maybe.

[Door Opens]

[Door Closes]

[Sighs]

Can you tell us why you changed
your mind, Ms. Clapp?

Well, first off,
the world is overpopulated.

Let's not forget that.
Schools are overcrowded.

People are starving. I think
the automatic mind-set...

that everybody
should have children--

that needs to be addressed.

[Attorney] Yes, but I'd like
you to focus, if you could,

on your specific
decision-making.

Could you tell the jury,
as they sit here performing...

their civic duty
in this court of law...

why you, Mary Clapp,
did not want offspring?

I just didn't feel
equipped to raise them.

I enjoy my job.
As an only child,

I admit I was raised
rather selfish.

I began to question...

my capacity to make
the necessary sacrifices

parenting requires.

And I, quite frankly,
didn't think it would be

fair to the children.

So, for the good
of the children,

you decided
not to give birth to them?

-Objection.
-Sustained.

Ms. Clapp, is it not true

that at the time you got
engaged to my client,

you expressly wanted
to have children?

Yes, but--

And you knew that he wanted
them, didn't you?

I did.

And you knew that
one of the reasons...

he in fact got married
was to in fact have children.

-Isn't that a fact?
-Objection. Too many facts.

[John] And after you marry
this man who happens to be...

of considerable wealth,
you suddenly decide

not to have children.

Is that what happened?

Yes, but I didn't
dupe him.

What kind of person
doesn't want children?

-Objection!

-Is it the kind
that says they do,

and then says "kidding" after
they qualify for alimony?

Mr. Cage.

his man planned
a life for you.

You just decided to switch
the plan, didn't you?

Well, you're right,
Ms. Clapp.

Any woman who doesn't
want children certainly has

no business being a mother.

Pip-squeak!

Nothing further,
Your Honor, except to say...

repugnant.

The witness may step down.

-Boo!
-[Shrieks]

I'm sorry.

Well, I understand
about the airplane

and the elevator... thing.

-[Clears Throat]
-Uh, falling. [Chuckles]

Well, you know, it's about
lack of foundation...

or feeling unsafe,
but, um--

[Chuckles]
The-The nun, I--

What about the nun?

Well, I really believe
that she was judging me.

I mean, she was very sweet.
You would have liked her.

But, um--

Well--[Chuckles, Stammers]
When you, um--

When you talk to a nun
about birth control, it's--

I mean, it's-it's--Well, it's
not like we were dishing.

May I open my eyes?

Please.

It's likely you view the nun
as a symbol of celibacy,

and on some level regard sex

foremost as a means
of procreation.

You're going to see
the man you love,

flying on a plane, talking
to a nun about birth control.

You want to marry Larry Paul
and have his children.

It's really not complicated.

Ah. Ah. So-So why did
I fall out of the plane?

Because deep down
you know it'll never happen.

Let me salute your insight.

The reason many people marry--
the reason they got married--

was to start a family.

Eric Bennett dreamed
of it, in fact.

Mary Clapp
shared that dream--

or so she declared.

To have and raise a child--

Now, what greater joy
is there?

Poop!

All right.

My client got married to
Mary Clapp to start a family,

after which she declares
she doesn't want children.

Well, there's no union here.
There was no coming together.

And this marriage should be
rightfully dissolved.

[Attorney] A marriage
is about many things,

children sometimes
being one of them.

But Mary Clapp's wedding vows
went to Eric Bennett,

to love and cherish
and be faithful to him.

Many men dream of conceiving
their own biological offspring.

Do we dissolve their marriages

if the wife turns out to be
infertile? Of course not.

Because marriage
fundamentally is about...

two people committing
to each other.

Mary Clapp
stands by that commitment.

Do we really mean
to suggest here

a woman shouldn't
be free...

to change her mind about whether
she wants to have a child?

Come on.

Totally agree with you, Elaine.
They must be biblical.

Hey, can we just be quiet

Sure. Uh, Mark,

could you pass the
feminine napkins, please?

-Bygones.

[Man On TV]
Millions of people everywhere...

have already made Tae Bo
the hottest workout--

Renee?

Now Billy Blanks introduces
a brand-new version...

of the ultimate
total body workout.

-[Ally] Renee?
-[TV Continues]

This is Billy Blanks
in a jam-packed room

full of
Tae Bo heroes just like him.

Plus, you'll sweat
like never before...

to a phenomenal music track

of super-charged recordings
of your favorite songs.

Tae Bo Live is a hot new
version--

[Gasps]

[Panting]

Hey, hey, hey! Hey.

Mmm, hmm, hmm,
hmm, hmm.

No, no, no, no.
It's not what you think.

What's going on?

She's back.
That's what's going on.

No, I just came in looking
for the remote for the, um--

the, uh--the--
the-the-the-the television.

I felt her hovering.
I think she was watching us.

-[Sighs]
-Were you watching us?

[Stammering]

As a matter of fact, yes.

-Why?
-Well, it was nice.

It just made me feel a little
less lonely for a second...

to just look at you two.

I really was going
for the remote.

Mm-hmm.

It was--It was--It just--
[Stammers]

Madam Foreperson,
the jury has reached a verdict?

-We have, Your Honor.
-What say you?

We, the jury, find in favor
of the defendant...

and rule that the marriage
shall not be dissolved.

Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,

this concludes
your service.

-Thank you. We're adjourned.
-[Gavel Raps]

I'm sorry.

Ah, you did your best.
Thanks again.

I didn't sleep much
last night.

-Yeah.
-I could barely tic.

Why don't we go
back to the office.

-Yeah--Can we do that?
-Sure.

My problem...
is you love children.

-Of course I do.
-Yeah, but hear me out.

Uh, why? I am agreeing
with you.

Just-Just hear me out,
damn it.

Oh. Peanut.
[Groans, Sighs]

Go ahead.

Look, I mean,
you teach children.

You write children's books.

You love them and you
get them, Melanie.

You totally tap into
their magic, their world.

What's your point?

My point is
I don't believe you.

When you say you don't want
them, I don't believe you.

[Sighs]

You know, Ally said
something that--

I mean, she--
she implied that--

that many couples, when they opt
to have children, they're--

they're motivated
to-to celebrate their union.

And to have a baby with the
person you love most in life--

I mean, that's--I mean, what
could be richer than that?

I think at some point,

you're gonna meet the man

who you do want to have
children with.

I just don't think
you've met him yet.

I--This is--
This is about me,

evidently.

I'm not the one, am I?

[Exhales]

You could very well...

be the one.

You could be the love
of my life.

And I'd still
walk away from you.

Oh, John, I was married once.

Years ago.

Happily--Happily married,
and I walked away.

Why?

Because it's what I do.

Things flatten out.

Normalcy--
[Scoffs]

Uh, contentment--

And I walk away.

Children--

You have to believe
in forever...

before--

Yeah.

I love you.

I don't want to go
today or tomorrow,

but I'm gonna go one day.

I don't understand.

[Sighs]

I know. I mean,
you say you love somebody.

I--And--
You know, you--Uh--

It's just what I do.

I told you I would work on it,
and I did.

I do. I will. I-I am.

But I know that one day...

I'm gonna go away.

Well, then maybe, you know,

before either of us
get too hurt--

You know, maybe-maybe
it should be today.

[Door Opens]

[Door Closes]

I think somebody's
in the unisex.

[Larry]
You stuck me in a freezer?

[Sighs, Exhales]

Well, um--Well, what--
[Stammering] Um--

[Laughs]
Are you back?

I'm back.

[Sighs, Stammers]

Look. I'm not
much better at hellos

-than I am at good-byes.
-How long?

-What?
-Well--

No. How--
I mean, is this a--

Is this a visit or--You know,
how long are you back for?

Oh. Well, does, uh,
forever work for you?

I was hoping to move in.

[Panting, Clears Throat]

Are you thinking about it?

Uh, no--Larry, Larry--

I promise I won't
shave my legs in the tub.

Mmm, no. uh-uh.
Huh-uh. I'm-I'm--

Well, I just won't be able
to take you leaving again.

Which works out well,
'cause I don't plan to.

I told you before,

I'm only at the beginning
of loving you.

Well--Mmm.
