All language subtitles for Melrose Place - 06x07 - Secrets and Wives.DVDRip-FFNDVD.English.updated.Addic7ed.com

You know, we've been
sleeping together

for almost a month now
and I don't even know,

are you a breakfast person,
do you...

Mmm-mmm. No, I'm not even
a morning person. No?

Well, you could've fooled me.

It's 7:00 in the morning.
Mmm-hmm.

Who could that be?

Yeah?

Yeah!

Coop. I can't believe it,

my ex-wife is not gonna pull this
crap on me and get away with it.

Coop, I don't know what
your talking about.

Somehow, Lexi and her
bottom-feeding lawyers

got a hold of my books,
my real books.

They must've hired
burglars to steal it.

Oh, tough break.
Yeah, tell me about it.

They got some judge to
schedule a hearing

on the property settlement.

They're gonna subpoena
both you and Michael,

and all our partnership records.

I'm gonna be
wiped out financially.

Well, you're gonna need some
sort of damage control then.

Tell me, what can I do?

Okay, if you
could just be flexible

with the truth when you testify.

Tell them that I don't
draw a base salary,

that I only get paid for
the business I bring in.

Look, I hate to ask you this.

Oh, no. What are
partners for, right?

I'll say whatever
you want me to say.

Be straight with me, Peter.

Is this whole legal mess gonna

jeopardize my standing
in the partnership?

No!

Michael and I are in no position

to throw stones... we've all had

our share of women from hell.

And, you know,
every now and then...

you find a good one.

Trust me. They only come
along once in a lifetime.

All right, listen.
Sorry to barge in.

So, 9:00, tomorrow morning,
Beverly Hills courthouse.

So, you'll back me up?

Yeah, I'll do whatever I can.

Just... you can count on me.

What a snake!

He still thinks he's gonna
get away with this.

Oh! But that will
all change tomorrow.

I kinda feel sorry for the guy.

After everything that
he's done to me?

Look what he's done
for me though, huh?

He brought me you.

Yeah, right.

It's the gift that
keeps on giving.

Morning.

You were asleep
when I got back last night.

Checking in on Taylor turned
out to be quite a marathon.

I, for one, couldn't
make it to the finish line.

You were the one that
suggested that I go...

Mmm. Don't explain.

I know how traumatic
this miscarriage was for you.

Yeah, well, it was
traumatic for both of us.

Gotta say I'm impressed
with how brave Taylor's been.

Now, I am late for the office.

I am meeting Eric to go over
our first month's tallies.

Before you go, you wanna tell me

why you told Baines
I lost the Boston restaurant?

I mean, does he have to know
everything that happens

between the two of us?
He's my business partner.

We talk about the ad
agency, and that's it.

I never mentioned
the restaurant.

He must've heard it
from someone at the club.

No. No, he's up to something.
I can feel it.

He was involved with the
Boston buyout somehow.

You're right, Eric is
a rich, powerful man

who devotes what little
free time he has

to ruining your
restaurant empire.

Stop it, Amanda.

You know, if you wanna fight,

why don't you call up
one of your ex-marine buddies

and go a few rounds?

But stay away from
my business partner.

Come on, I want you to meet the guy
who's gonna make us all millionaires.

Hey, Dr. Mosley!

I want you to meet
my investor Craig Field,

and my sister Jennifer.

Oh, sorry.

Jennifer.
That's a beautiful name.

So is Mosley.

All right, okay.
Check this out, Craig, huh?

You just slip this on,

you put this little goody
over the tip of your pinky,

and zap-zap,
it's the sound of money.

I don't hear anything, and I'd
like to see how it works.

All right, well, let's plug
this sucker in. Mosley?

All right, go ahead, Mosley.

Strike a deal, here.

All righty.

Okay, pretend
this is a human limb, okay?

I'm making an incision.

Okay, you see how the blood
pools there, at the edge?

Okay, Mosley, zap it.

Voila, completely cauterized.

And the beauty of it is, this thing costs
even less than a normal cauterizer,

and we could charge
four or five times more.

Great profit margin. We'll be in
the black in less than a year.

Oh, no, no, no.

I'm not waiting a year
for my money.

It's not like you have
a choice, Michael.

All new businesses operate at
a loss when they start up.

Then forget it. We'll sell out
to a big pharmaceutical company.

Excuse me, gentlemen,
about my fee...

I'm telling you, Michael,
we'll make a lot more money

in the long run
if we do it ourselves.

Craig, I don't give a damn
about the long run.

Come on, you guys, chill out!

Let me make it simple
for you, Michael.

No company, no deal.

If I may interrupt,
I can't finish the project

without my check.

Give the man his check.

Yeah, Craig,
give the man his check.

All of you, back off.
Nobody's getting

anything until
we straighten this out.

Look, we owe the guy $20,000.

Now, give the man his check so we
could move on to the fun part.

When we all get filthy rich.

Dr. Mosley.

Thank you.

All right, I paid the man. Now we
do this deal my way or not at all.

Great. Hey, your timing
is perfect!

I just finished my call.

We have reservations
at Le Dome...

Listen, before we go,

I wanna talk to you
about our relationship.

Isn't it a little too soon to
be having that kind of talk?

No, that's not what I mean. Can
we just sit down for a minute?

Uh... Come on.

Okay. You know that I've
been looking for a job,

and it occurred to me

that, well, you're this
incredible businessman.

I mean, you own publishing
houses, radio stations,

sport centers... you'd
like to come work for me?

Before you answer, I know I
don't have a lot of job skills,

but I have a lot of people
skills, and I'm willing

to work hard, I learn fast...

Whoa, whoa. Megan,
Megan, slow down.

I'm sure one of my companies somewhere
has an opening for an assistant,

we'll work it out. No.

What I'm looking for
is an opportunity

to learn from you personally,

on a day-to-day basis,
how to become an executive,

so I can have my own
business someday.

You want me to be your mentor?

I promise I won't let you down.

Your enthusiasm's charming.

The answer's yes. Yes! Yes?

You can even work
for me part-time

until your job at
Burns-Mancini is over.

So we shake on it? Mmm-hmm.

Oh! Sorry.

Oh, no, no. That's all right.
That's all right.

Megan was just thanking me here.

I'm gonna be
teaching her the ropes.

Oh! Congratulations.

You couldn't find
a better teacher than Eric.

I'm glad to hear you feel
that way, Amanda.

You know what? We can go over
these accounts after lunch.

What did you do that for? Why
did you just kiss me like that?

I apologize, I apologize.

I just got carried away.

You know, the office isn't
exactly the place for it.

I'm sorry. Are we still
on for lunch?

Come on. I wanna
make it up to you.

All right.

You're such a good dancer.

I bet every woman
you ever danced with

ended up sleeping with you.

I know what you're
trying to do, Jennifer,

but I've already
made up my mind.

I'm not interested in any
get-rich-quick schemes.

Either we start a company,
or I'm not involved.

Can't you see
what Michael's doing?

He got the first $20,000 from you
to make the model of the glove,

and now he figures
he doesn't need you anymore.

He can sell the patent
on his own.

Fine, if that's what
he wants, I'll just

find myself another
investment opportunity.

No, you're falling
into his trap.

He's trying to
make you back out.

You don't know that.

No, no, trust me.

When you're dealing
with a Mancini

the only way to
come out on top is

to have another Mancini
on your side.

Ooh, you're scaring me.

I'm serious.

When all the other kids
were learning how to walk,

we were learning
how to manipulate.

I'll give you 24 hours
to turn Michael around.

I'll take care of him,
I promise.

24 hours, and then I'm pulling
out my money and leaving town.

This time, for good.

You got a minute?
For you? Always.

I just got this letter.

They're selling the building.
From now on, we are on

a month-to-month lease.

I know, I got the same letter.

First the Boston restaurant
gets taken out

from underneath us,
and now the same thing

is happening in Los Angeles.

You think this is more than
just a coincidence, don't you?

Yeah, and I think Eric
Baines is behind it.

Well, then I guess it was a good
idea that I paid the rent in person

and chatted up Mr. Bender.

You did?

What did you find out?

The buyer's name.
Upper West Holding Company.

Could be one of
Baines' companies.

The deal's going down
tomorrow night.

Bender's meeting
some company rep

at Bella Vista
Restaurant, 7:00 PM.

I don't even wanna know
how you got this information.

Well, you know me.

Tight dress, high heels.

Worked like a charm.

I'm sure it did.

I'm gonna be at the Bella
Vista tomorrow night,

I'm gonna find out who Bender's
contact turns out to be.

I'm going with you.
No, you're not.

Kyle, it's my restaurant too,

and I've gotta do something...

I've gotta do something to...

take my mind off
of losing the baby.

Okay.

We'll go together.

Purpose of this hearing
is to determine

whether this court
has the authority

to uphold the property laws
of the state of Ohio

in the matter of
Sterling vs. Cooper.

Where's Michael? Who knows.

He's not exactly reliable.

Bearing in mind
the reciprocity law,

the court rules to uphold
the out-of-state judgment

awarded to the plaintiff at the
time of their divorce last May.

Now the said judgment includes

the house on Cambridge Drive,
the country club membership,

the summer home in Nantucket,

as well as a percentage
of Dr. Cooper's wages

until such time as Miss
Sterling remarries or dies.

Damn you, Lexi!
I'm warning you, Dr. Cooper.

The court will not tolerate
any more of your outbursts.

Now, I'm due back in court.

You may take the time
to sort out the particulars.

I advise you to move on
with your life.

Thank you.

Tell me,

how many favors did your father
have to call in for this one?

Come on, Coop,
let's get some coffee.

No, no. I wanna know.

How many judges
did Daddy have to buy

to make little Lexi happy?

You brought this
on yourself, Coop.

You lied to me,
you cheated on me,

you didn't even bother
to hide your affair.

And you think you can just walk
away from this property settlement

like you walked away
from our marriage?

It's bound to catch up with
you one of these days.

Look, you're filthy rich! How
much damn money do you need?

The only way I could ever reach
you was through your wallet.

That answer your question?

I'm gonna find out
who turned over my books.

Because, outside of Lexi's
lawyers or a second-story man,

there's really only
two choices, Peter,

you or Michael.

Well, it's an easy choice. I'm
the one who's here, he's not.

Yeah.

Has to be Michael.

I'm sorry for dropping by
like this, but...

I just...

had to see you again.

You did?

Would you like a seat?
Something to drink?

I'll have what you're having.

Water from the cooler?

I just can't stop
thinking about you.

When I watched you demonstrate
the glove yesterday,

you were so masterful.

So powerful.

You must be a genius.

Technically, I'm highly gifted.

Semantics.

I have a little
confession to make.

I've always been really
attracted to brainiacs.

I mean, the mind is the biggest
erogenous zone, right?

I never thought about that.

But let me tell you, your brother's
design was really primitive.

Just a rough sketch on a napkin.

I had my work cut out for me,

went through several different
versions before I got it right.

Are you gonna show them to
me, or do I have to beg?

Sure, right away. Come on.

Okay, this one I call
Saturday Night Special.

What about that glove?

Oh, this is the one
I'm finishing up

for your brother.
It's in perfect shape.

This one, though, this is
the mother of them all.

Should I plug it in? No!

There's a short I can't
locate in the construction.

A reverse polarity problem.

In layman's terms.

The glove will turn
on its master.

Oh.

I had no idea that
research could be so...

dangerous.

Oh no! I guess
I'm still shaking.

Oh, it's cold.

I'm shivering all over.

I can see that. Here.
Use my tie to dry off.

No, I don't wanna ruin your
cute, little clip-on tie.

Would you go get me a towel from
the men's room and dry me off?

Um... sure thing. Be right back.

Thanks.

Be sure to get it all.

Uh... uh...

Hey.

What are you doing in my office?

Waiting for you actually.

Oh, the hearing, I totally forgot.
Sorry about that.

Anyway, how did it go?

Somebody turned over
my real books to my ex-wife.

Isn't that amazing?

But you know
what's even more amazing?

It's this new
cauterizing invention.

Hey, hey, hey.
That's my file, huh?

Personal property. Hands off.

This glove was my idea, Michael.

Actually I think
the idea was out there

waiting to be born, and we both
grabbed it at the same time.

No, we didn't.

It was my surgical accident.
I'm the one who came up with

the whole idea for
the fingerless glove.

Well, the patent
application's already in,

so, you don't have a leg
to stand on, my friend.

Hey, hey. Don't hit me.
I'm injured over here.

I'm not gonna hit you, Michael.

I'm gonna wish you luck
with the glove.

What's your angle? No angle.

We're partners here at
Burns, Mancini and Cooper.

We all share in each
others' good fortune.

Okay, but before we shake,
I wanna make this clear,

we're not partners
when it comes to the glove.

I know that, Michael.
I'm a realist.

Good.

And you're an opportunist.

Hey, it's a pretty
harsh term, Coop.

It's a description,
not a judgment.

In fact, it's one of the things
I like about you, Michael.

You're always true
to your nature.

I hope you get
everything you deserve.

The landlord just walked in.

Bender's sitting
at the bar alone.

Here, try this shrimp,
it's so yummy.

I called Boston, guess who
bought the restaurant.

Upper West Holding Company?

Bingo! Ah, that is so creepy.

Oh, isn't the wine good?
It's dry, not fruity.

Mmm... you know,

that's the one thing
I missed when I was pregnant,

not drinking wine.

I mean, not that I wouldn't
give it up in a second if it...

would bring back...

Hey, someday you'll have
another baby, Taylor.

To the future.

To both of us having
a family that we want.

Here you are, ma'am.

Oh, no. Amanda.

You're kidding.

Okay, don't look, don't look.

Don't... okay.

If she sees us, I'm a dead man.
We gotta get out of here.

But Kyle, we're on
a very important mission.

I mean, this is our only chance for
Bender to lead us to the buyer.

We will find another way
to nail Baines.

I am not gonna
blow it with Amanda.

All right. I understand.
There's a back entrance

by the ladies' room...
We could sneak out.

Eric: Amanda, I'm glad
you could join us.

Oh, you seem upset. You haven't
been waiting long, have you?

No, I just got here.

Ah... excuse me one second,
will you, please?

I see a colleague
of mine at the bar.

Mr. Bender!

Two blondes at one time?
Now that's living. Ah.

Here's the contract.

I put my John Hancock
on all the dotted lines,

and Kyle's restaurant and the
jazz club will be yours.

All it needs is your signature.

All right, I'll look it over.

Make sure there
are no surprises.

I'll give you a call
in the morning.

Oh, thank you.

Yeah? Mrs. Shaw: Brett?

Mrs. Shaw... Are you there?

Cooper: Tell me.
She was your daughter.

Why did Kimberly leave me
for a guy like Michael?

You had a hold over her
like nothing I've ever seen.

You don't know
what Michael's like.

Yeah, I do.

I've been here, what, a couple of months?
He's already screwed me over.

He stole this idea I had
for a medical invention.

It's gonna make him a rich man.

And I'm gonna
end up with nothing.

No. Less than nothing, if you
count what I owe my ex-wife.

Which is another piece
of his dirty work.

I know how Michael operates.

This is all a game to him,

and he will not stop
until he's ruined you.

Yeah, well...

two can play at
that game, you'll see.

When I'm done with him,

he'll have no practice,
no medical license,

and no hope of ever getting the
current Mrs. Mancini back.

He's gonna be pumping gas
for the rest of his life.

You know, Coop,
we shouldn't dwell

on the bad things in our lives.

We should eliminate them.

I'll be in touch.

Hey, you're up late.

I had a business dinner
and needed to wind down.

Yeah.

Sorry I didn't make it
to the club after work.

Busy night? Yeah.

Sort of. All the
regulars showed up.

What? Nothing.

You're not saying much.

How'd your meeting go?

It was very informative.

Good.

Good night.

Hey, I think you're going the wrong
way with those clothes, aren't you?

Uh, look. I gotta get going.

I got a lot of packing to do.

Oh, really? Mmm-hmm.

What, did you find
an apartment or what?

I'm flying home tomorrow.

To Cleveland? For how long?

It's where I live.

Look, now that this property
settlement has been taken care of...

Hey, hey.

You can't just leave, I mean...

I mean, what about us?

Look, I have to go
see my parents,

my friends, my charity work.

Look, please, don't make
this any harder on me.

Lexi, wait a second.

Hey, hey, hey!

Oh, I get it.
So I get you Coop's books,

and now you don't need
me anymore, is that it?

No, of course not. I just...

I can't drift from man to man
without any direction.

Well, I didn't realize
that this was drifting.

I thought you actually
cared about me.

I do care about you.

But what we've been doing is
sneaking around like teenagers,

it's exciting,
but it's not real.

Well, it's been real for me,
so let's figure out how

we can make it real
for you then, huh?

Going public? Let's do it.

Yeah, right. And then what? Hmm?

Coop's your partner.

When he finds out about us, he's
gonna make your life a living hell.

All right. No,
this is impossible.

How can you do this, though?

Tell me, how can you do this?

How can you make love to me the
way that you did last night

and then just
walk out of my life?

Look, I'm not
really in your life.

Besides we haven't even known
each other really that long.

You know what,
this is all excuses.

That's what this is.
Excuses about...

about Coop and about
your life in Cleveland

because you're scared.

You're scared because you never
thought it would be like this.

Well, I'm scared too.

It feels so right that everything
without you feels wrong.

Just say that
you'll stay with me.

I'll never forget you, Peter.

So what do you think
of Mr. Cheese here?

Looks great.
It's a great concept.

God, we work together,
we live together,

and I still never get
a chance to see you.

I know, I miss you too.

But we can't do
anything about it here.

You know what the best thing
about this thing is?

It's got a real
good sense of privacy.

Right. He's a romantic
willing to help.

Hungry couples, come here.

This is actually perfect timing
'cause I have something for you.

Well, it's gonna have to
wait until we get home.

Well, we could
kind of start now.

That... this...

It's beautiful.

And so are you.

Nobody is gonna see us.

Amanda.

Is there a problem with
the Acapulco display?

No, it's just a little
unsteady, I'll fix it.

Oh. So, what's up?

I like what you've done
with your office.

Oh, yeah. Well, I know.
It's the same as ever.

Really? I guess I've just taken
your good taste for granted.

Oh, that's okay.

So, is there something
you wanna talk about?

Well, I've been thinking how men and
women sometimes sleep with their exes.

Why is that?

Are you sleeping with Peter?

No! But I think Kyle
is sleeping with Taylor.

Don't be ridiculous. Kyle is...
I mean, he's crazy about you.

Yeah, so, I'm glad
I could be of help.

Then why did he lie to me about having
a romantic dinner with her last night?

Maybe they were scoping out
a new restaurant.

Come on. Don't think twice about it.
Now, if that's all...

No, and then there was
the time that he went down

to Taylor's apartment to check
on her, he was gone for

3 hours and 20 minutes.
Explain that.

Why are you doing this to yourself?
Okay, Kyle is not Peter.

He's a stand-up guy.
He's in love with you.

So don't drive him away
with your suspicions.

Okay, so just take off
your battle armor,

and, for once, be happy
with what you have.

You've made your point.

Thanks for your advice.

You're welcome.

Oh, by the way, Samantha,

when I say there's
a relaxed dress code here,

it still means more than
wearing just your bra.

To hell with Amanda.

Ladies, gentlemen, I'd like
to say it's been my privilege

meeting all the fine minds

that run the St. George's
Pharmaceutical Company.

Thanks to Mr. Pierson, here.

And now that we've had an
opportunity to see the thing,

let's see the Mancini
glove in action.

Do I have any volunteers?

Sir, step right up here.

There ya go, put that
right on your right hand.

Mosley.

Plug it in.

It's burning my hand!

Michael, do something.

Yeah, yeah.

Get me a doctor, quick.
It's an emergency.

I'm a doctor. I'll look at him.

Don't touch him, Mancini.
You'll probably kill him.

Hey, I resent that.
And may I remind you,

if you're contemplating
litigation, this man

volunteered to try that glove
on of his own free will.

Needless to say, Dr. Mancini,
we don't have a deal.

This is very distressing.

What the hell went wrong?

I can postulate one theory...

Oh, shut up, Mosley.

You're fired.

Michael, we've got to calm down.

And just think
this thing through.

I am thinking, I'm thinking

I gave a fortune
to Dr. Frankenstein

to electrocute a
pharmaceutical executive.

I bet they're all over
the water cooler right now

telling everybody about
our little accident.

All it takes is for one
pharmaceutical executive

to talk to another one,
and before you know it

the Mancini glove
is an industry joke.

Oh, thanks, Jennifer. You really
know how to cheer a guy up.

I'm sorry, Michael, but...

the fact is we have
no other alternative.

We have to go back
to our original plan.

No, you mean Craig's plan,
manufacturing the glove ourselves.

It doesn't matter
whose plan it is.

It's our only choice.

For once, you're right.

How much groveling do you
think I'm gonna have to do?

Oh, I got it.

I'll start with a gift basket,

then I'll hit him
with the groveling.

Sounds like a plan, Michael.

Hi. Sorry to keep you waiting.

I was finishing a call but...

I'm ready for you now.

Whoa, this is exactly what I
came here to talk to you about.

There is dating,
and there is business.

Now, if we are dating,
which I'm not so sure we are,

then I'm not doing
one for the other.

I mean, when I came in

and approached to you
about a job the other day,

you grabbed me and you kissed me,
you crossed the line, mister.

I mean, I won't allow it.

Just because you're offering me

this... great job opportunity,

don't expect me
to sleep with you.

Because I won't.

That's okay. I didn't ask.

What?

What are you laughing at?

Oh, we've obviously
had a misunderstanding.

Oh, I don't get it.

What's the point
of my coming over here,

to your hotel suite for a
late night business meeting?

I had a long day and just
this boring dinner meeting,

I thought this would be easier.

Look, Megan, when I said
"meeting", that's what I meant.

I'm always clear
about what I want.

And to be honest, I'm not
interested in you the other way.

Coffee?

Decaf.

Are you gay?

No. So you're just
not attracted to me?

I think I'm insulted.

Well, don't be.

All I want is to have
somebody in my arm

when the occasion calls
for it and nothing more.

Now, can we please get to work?

I'm just going over
these latest reports

from New York.

Surprise!

Hey, Amanda.

Where you going?

Anywhere that I don't
have to see you

carrying on with that alley cat.

Damn it, nothing is going on
between Taylor and me.

How many times
do I have to say it?

Oh, so you're not
having any more

candlelight dinners
at the Bella Vista?

So you saw us?

Look, that wasn't a date.
We were tailing our landlord.

Oh, so you're
private detectives now?

You know, someone's trying
to buy this building out

from under us, just like
Boston, it's terrible.

You get an "A"
for effort, Taylor.

You found a new way to dress
up the same old bait.

I haven't done
anything wrong, Amanda.

And I don't have to
take this from you.

Taylor. Let her go.

Can't you see what she's doing?

She's feeding your paranoia
about this building,

just to get close to you again.

Whatever you may
think about Taylor,

she is doing everything she can

to save her restaurant
and this jazz club.

Half of which you own.

Save it from whom?

From the Upper West Side
Holding Company,

the same company who took
our Boston restaurant.

Oh, you may be on to something.

Maybe the holding company
is a front...

All I know is that your partner
wants more from me than business.

I can feel it.

For your information, Eric
is dating Megan Mancini,

he is not interested in me.

Megan or no Megan, yes, he is.

I'm standing in his way, that's
why he wants to destroy me.

He doesn't have to.

You're doing a pretty
good job of it yourself.

And you're destroying us
in the process.

Megan, good morning.
Good morning.

How are things going
with you and Eric?

Getting along okay?

Yeah, why do you wanna know?

Oh, my motives
are purely selfish.

If he's happy and in love, then maybe
he'll lose interest in my agency.

Well, all I can tell you is,

he is all business,
all the time with me.

Oh, that's hard to believe.

I mean, he has needs
like any other man.

Well, maybe he does,
but all he needs from me

is an occasional
dinner companion.

Oh! Or maybe he wants you to
think of him as a challenge.

No. He's not interested in me.

In fact, I get the
distinct impression

that he is in love
with someone else.

I think he's using me to make
this other woman jealous,

which is fine, because in
some weird subconscious way,

I think I used him to
make Michael jealous.

Why I bothered. I don't know.

Well, if you're looking
to start a support group,

2 of Michael's ex-wives
are dead,

but I do have Jane's
phone number in Chicago.

Dr. Cooper.

What the hell. Mrs. Shaw, what are
you doing here, for God's sakes?

I'm not quite sure myself.
Call it a premonition.

If Michael sees us together,
it could ruin everything.

Now, I'm sorry you flew all the
way up from Ohio for nothing.

Have a nice trip back.

Please take your hand
off my arm, now!

Don't you understand?

Michael is as smart
as the devil,

and the only edge I have

is that he doesn't
know what's coming.

Don't dismiss me, Coop.
I can be a valuable asset.

We've got to get him.

I will keep you posted,
I promise.

Now go back to Ohio and
wait till you hear from me.

All right. I'll go home, soon.

Might do a little
sight seeing first,

you know,
make the trip worthwhile.

But I am only a phone call away.

Megan, I can't read
this message here...

what are you doing?
I'm quitting.

As in cleaning out my desk
and walking out the door.

You can't quit.
You gave 2 weeks' notice.

It's only been 11 days.

Okay. Fire me, Michael.

You know what?
You got a lot of attitude

for a woman with no
apparent job skills.

How long do you think you
can live on unemployment?

You know what, I hate
to disappoint you, Michael,

but I already found a new job.

I'm working for Eric Baines.

Oh, really?

He must've hired you for
your extensive background

in advertising.

But I guess a "900" number
is a mass-marketing tool.

Once a hooker, always a hooker.

You know what, Michael, if you
ever call me a hooker again,

I will kill you.

Please, let go. Megan, please.

And so now Kyle thinks
you're the evil land baron

behind all of his
financial troubles.

I'm sorry, I've been
talking about Kyle...

No, no, no! It's okay.

You know, I've been wanting
to say this for a while...

he's beneath you.

I've been coming
to that conclusion myself.

But at least you're having luck
in the romance department.

Oh, well...

How are things
working out with Megan?

Moving in the right direction.

Hmm. Lucky girl.

Do you ever wonder
if you and I...

Never mind. What?

What, what, what? Say it.

We never seem to be free

at the same time.

We can be.

I shouldn't have brought it up.
It's not fair to Megan.

My relationship with Megan

is strictly business.

Really?

And our relationship?

How would you describe it?

Close.

But it could be closer.

I have loved you
for a long time.

I love you too...

I knew you'd finally
come around.

As a friend.

I love you as a friend.

What are you doing?

I need to set
the record straight.

You are my business partner,

and you're very important to me.

But I'm in love with Kyle,
and that's not gonna change.

You've been baiting me.

Did you take Kyle's
Boston restaurant from him?

I need to know.

And you're buying the jazz club out
from under him also, aren't you?

And that's why you met with his
landlord at the Bella Vista.

You're trying to ruin him.

Answer me.
Yes. You're right, yes.

That's all I needed to know.

Did you honestly think there
were no strings attached?

Well, I just lent you
a million dollars

'cause you're God's gift
to advertising!

You'll get a full return on your
investment. Just give me the time.

No! No! What I will
give you is a choice.

Kyle or your ad agency.

Oh, that's simple.
I choose Kyle.

Well, then,
you'll lose everything.

The agency,
the apartment building,

the jazz club, everything!

Do your worst, Eric.
You don't scare me.

You should be scared, Amanda.

'Cause when I say you're
gonna lose everything,

I mean Kyle, too.

Oh, it's you.

Look, why didn't you
just get your hired guns

to take care of this?

Because I wanted
the satisfaction

of picking up
the first settlement check

from you in person.

I'm on my way to the airport.
Could you hurry this up?

Yeah, I need a minute
to fill it out.

And don't come in.

You're not welcome.

Craig: Michael, we have a signed contract.
You can't get out of it

I never gave my okay. And why are
we going with Amanda's agency?

I have my reasons. We're very
excited about the Mancini glove.

We just think
we should change the name.

The name stays, damn it.

You're not getting rid
of Mancini that fast.

Michael.
What are you doing here?

If it's to see me, forget it.

Look, Megan,
this is a free country.

I can come to this
building if I want to.

Lexi! Thank God,
I'm not too late.

What's Peter doing here?

Look, don't avoid
the issue, Michael.

I don't wanna see you anymore.

Peter, how did you know
I was gonna be here?

Listen, I went by
your lawyer's office.

They said you were coming by
to pick up the check.

Peter... No, no. Please,

I don't know if
I said the right thing

so I wanted one more chance.

I love you, Lexi.

What did you just say
to my ex-wife?

I said, "I love you, Lexi."

You love her? Yeah, I love her.

And I don't care
who knows about it.

Oh, Peter, I can't...

I can't leave you.
I love you, too.
