Ally McBeal (1997–2002): Season 5, Episode 20 - What I'll Never Do for Love Again - full transcript

Previously on Ally McBeal.

First of all, let's welcome
Liza. She starts today.

- What?
- John extended an offer of
employment, and she accepted.

- We're glad to have you.
- Thank you.

- I want her.
- I kinda like being sweaty.

She's an itty-bitty
little sexual package.

- Let's go somewhere and do it.
- I want to just unwrap it.

I think on some level you
know that I'm not "it" for you.

And on some level, I
know you're not "it" for me.

Can you imagine...

what it must be like
to make love to me?



Yes. Good.

You can go now.

Uh, oh... No. No. No, no.
Wh-What? Wait. What? What?

It would be wrong for us
to actually sleep together.

See you at the office.

W...

You're not counting for me.

Oh. Uh, yeah. All
right. Uh, start over.

Richard, I feel like you're imagining
what it would be like with me again.

Now, I thought we were
past that juncture in our lives.

Oh, y... We have. It's just,
uh, you're so, uh, sweaty.

And i-it's the
salt. I crave salt.

If I let you lick
me one little time,

do you promise to
behave? Uh... Uh, yes.



Okay. Well, I get
especially moist here.

Oh. Uh...

Oh! Hello, Richard.

You're here. Hello, dust mite.

Would you like me
to perspire for you?

Uh, that's okay.

Richard, uh, there is a man in
the office. He says it's important.

- Uh, now?
- I think he mentioned
that he was...

your father.

My...

Oop. Bugger. Fell off.

- Dad?
- Son.

Hi. Uh... Oh.

Um... Okay.

Uh... Hi, Dad. Hello, Son.

How... How's
Mom? Oh, she's fine.

Listen. I'm, uh... I'm
in a little bit of a jam.

Oh? I'm, uh... Well,
I've been sued.

You... Sued? Bygones. My
lawyer thought he could handle it.

The problem is my lawyer turns out to
be a clunker. The trial starts tomorrow.

Now he's saying I
should settle. Settle for a

lot more than I can
afford to settle for. Bugger.

The funny thing is, it's right
in your firm's wheelhouse.

So, well, here I am. Well, uh,
what have you been, uh, sued for?

Sexual harassment. I fell in
love with my secretary. Bugger.

So I fired her, and now
she's suing me. Bygones.

Can you help me, Son? The whole
thing seems so unconstitutional.

Pursuit of happiness. Res ipsa.

Search and "Caesar."
It's all... It's all right there.

- Uh...
- Uh...

Okay. Bye.

Oh, she's running
a fever of 102.

I... I think I'm...
I'm just gonna...

have to stay home with her. Mmm.

How are you doing?
I'm okay. I'm okay.

I mean, you know, about Victor.

Oh. Well, you know, that was for the
best, but thank you very much for prying.

I wasn't just prying,
Ally. I do care about you.

I know. Okay.

Is there... anything
else you need?

Um, no. No. Thank you.
I think I have everything.

Okay.

Is there something
maybe you need, Elaine?

Well, um,

I know this is gonna
sound really stupid,

but they're doing a
revival of A Chorus Line

to open here in Boston,
and then go on tour.

Mm-hmm. There's an open
tryout, and I was thinking...

I mean, I'll never
get it, of course,

but I thought, if you didn't mind, I would
really like to go to that open tryout.

It would mean missing this afternoon,
and a few other days, if I got called back,

which I never would, of
course, but, um, is it okay?

Well, it sounds like
something you really want to do.

It is. Well, yeah. It's okay.

Thank you.

I mean, I'll never
get it, of course, but...

thank you.

So the reason you gave
was that you loved her?

Yes. Oh. Bit of soot. Oh!

Twenty-nine. Spinner. Dad.

This little thing is nasty hot.

Dad. N... Now,

with your secretary,
did you ever... No.

I-I was completely
appropriate with her.

Other than a few wattle
swipes, I was professional.

I was afraid I... I might lose
myself, 'cause she's just so...

So I had to fire her. I didn't
want to do anything I'd regret.

Well, Mr. Fish, I really don't think you
can discharge a woman because you love her.

Well, what am I gonna
do? She wants $300,000.

She's suing me personally, so
my homeowner's doesn't cover it.

Plus your mother. I mean,
if she ever found out...

You know her, Richard.
Right. My mother.

Okay. Look. Can you let me
and Fishy discuss this a minute?

Sure. "Fishy."

Uh, uh, bygones. It's...

I'll hold. I ain't holdin' long.

Is that thing permanently
attached to your head?

Oh, and there's nothing
artificial attached to your head.

Yeah. Call Jacobs back.

Tell Walters that I died.
I'll talk to Mathers. ♪♪

When it begins to sound
like a disco, I get concerned.

I'm trying out for
A Chorus Line.

What chorus line?

The A Chorus Line.

They're doing a revival.
There's an open audition.

What?

When are you gonna
give up this nonsense?

Look, Nelle. I didn't
ask for your input.

I've already cleared this with Ally,
who you'll remember is a partner.

You'll also remember
that you're not.

It's impossible, Liza.
He's got no defense.

A jury might smack him for more
than 300. You're not focusing, Richard.

Oh. Uh, on what?
Jurors are people.

Ah. In the end, they
don't always follow the law.

They follow this.
Oh, your breast.

Their hearts. Oh.

Look at me, Fishy.

Look into my eyes.

Do you know why
God gave me big eyes?

I... Fishy.

The better to see me.
My eyes are like windows.

The jury will see into my heart.

My "pure as the
driven snow" soul.

Right. And they'll follow me.

And that's why your
father has a chance.

Do I have a chance?
Look into my windows.

Oh, yeah. Um... Mmm.

Do you see it? You and me?

No.

But if you reach into my
bulkhead, you can feel it.

That was vulgar.

Now, as I go into court today to defend
your dad, you don't want me to be vulgar.

Do you? No. No.

You look like a
little, itty-bitty boy.

So cute.

And so hard to say no.

Here.

Have your thumb,
little, itty-bitty boy.

Okay. You'll each be given a number
when you give us your sheet music.

When your number's
called, get your can onstage.

The conductor will give you
about five seconds before he starts.

We've got a lot of folks here,
people, so let's not waste time.

If the director says "Thank you"
or "Okay" or "Stop," you're done.

Just exit stage left, and for
callbacks, we'll let you know,

and they'll also be
posted outside the theater.

Thank you all very much for
coming, and good luck to each of you.

Claire? What are you doing here?

Oh, Elaine, hello. What
are you doing here, Claire?

I've come for my
brush with stardom.

You see, I thought, before I go,

well, it would be rather
nice to come out of my shell.

The truth is, you've helped
me, Elaine. You've inspired me.

Twenty-seven. Sheet music.

Thank you. Twenty-eight.

Thank you. Well, if it
can't be me, I hope it's you.

It's a career,
executive secretary,

and I took mine very seriously.

And what started to go
wrong, Ms. Stewart? Well,

at first, he would just
sort of... smell me,

comment on my perfume.

Then he started touching
me, mainly on the throat.

And he hovered so.

Finally, I confronted him on it, and
he told me he'd fallen in love with me.

Then he fired me.

He said that was the reason
for terminating your employment?

Yes.

The funny thing
is, at age 15 on,

we learn the little
things that attract men.

I bet you've attracted
your share, Ms. Stewart.

You are quite
beautiful. Thank you,

but that doesn't mean
I should lose my job.

- Are you married?
- No. I hope to be someday.

- How many times?
- Well, once.

Odds on that.

Statistically, most
marriages fail.

I'm sure you know that.

They fail because
they're fragile,

and most people don't
treat them as such.

Marriages, relationships... they should
be handled with care. Don't you agree?

Does counsel have a
relevant question for my client?

When you do get married,

do you think you'd be okay...

with your husband working side by
side every day with another woman,

who he happens
to be in love with?

A beautiful woman at that.

I don't think that woman should
be punished just because...

No, no, no. That wasn't my
question. My question was,

would you want your husband
working alongside a beautiful woman...

that he was
falling in love with?

No. Of course not.
And if he were to...

treat your marriage with
respect, uh, with care,

might it be a good idea for him to
have this woman work elsewhere?

But if she didn't do anything
wrong, then I don't think that...

Given the choice of pleasing
his secretary or his wife,

who should a husband choose?

That's all I have.

There's a very angry woman
in back. Do we know her?

Excellent. That
would be my mother.

Oh, no.

Look. Honey, nothing happened.

You fell in love with your
secretary. That is something, Charlie.

But that's why I fired her. Love
without sex is an empty experience.

Senior Fishism.

Why didn't you tell
me about this lawsuit?

Because I knew it
would upset you. Oh!

Maybe we should give
them a little privacy.

Not a good idea to
leave them alone.

Look. I'm in court because
of fidelity to you, Ellen.

You're in court because
you fell for your secretary.

Dad. W... We're due in court.

I'll get him.

So, how's it goin'?

"How's it going"?

Mom, nothing happened,
uh, between them.

Given his track record,
what-what's the big deal here?

I'll tell you the big deal.

The big deal is that
it was very difficult

to stay with him
during all of his affairs.

It was undignified for
me to stay with him,

and I did so for you
and for your sisters...

and because I could cling
to that I was the one he loved,

no matter what the hell...

I was the one he loved.

That was my claim.

What do I stake my
claim on today, Richard?

Well, I didn't want
to be inappropriate.

And I certainly didn't want
to be disloyal to my wife.

So, as I found
myself having feelings,

I thought I'd better
take preventative steps.

So, to paraphrase
your testimony,

firing Ms. Stewart
was an act of love,

an incredible gesture of love
and commitment to your wife.

Excuse me. That
paraphrasing was a little liberal.

I apologize.

Mr. Fish, let's be fair.

This was your problem,
not Molly Stewart's.

You were the one
struggling with your feelings.

Why shouldn't you be
the one to change jobs?

Why shouldn't you be
the one to go elsewhere?

Is there a reason Molly
Stewart had to leave?

Well, i-it's... my company.

Oh!

Well, now, of course, it makes
perfect sense. Say it with me.

- Duh.
- Objection.

Your Honor, I'd like to do
something slightly unorthodox here.

I'd like to call cocounsel
as my next witness.

I beg your pardon?

Well, this is the
defendant's son,

and I think it's possible
genetics could be a factor here.

Genetics? How?

Well, that's why I want to
call the son, so I can show you.

It'll just take a sec.

Oh, I'm sorry. Oh. Hello.

Do I know you?

Well, I auditioned earlier.

Oh, yes. "Dance:
10; Looks: 3." Yeah.

You were very
good. Oh. Thank you.

Bye. Uh, excuse me.

You really were good.

I-I'm sorry. Your name?

Elaine. Uh, Elaine Vassal.

Elaine. Yeah. You had
no résumé, no experience.

That's why you didn't
make the cut. Oh.

So you need experience
in order to get experience.

Well, look. We have a very short
rehearsal... This was an open audition.

How many people
came in with résumés?

You saw what I can do.
Isn't that the whole point?

Otherwise, people could just fax
in their tryouts. Are you a lawyer?

No. But I work for one.

Uh-huh.

Look. I don't have time to talk
about it right now. Yeah, fine.

But if you'd like
to get dinner...

This is going to be a
little bit difficult, Richard,

because I might have to ask you
to reveal some private thoughts.

Oh.

Now you've heard your father...

talk about how he
struggled a little bit with lust.

Has that ever happened to you?

- Well, uh, sometimes.
- In fact,

you told me a former girlfriend of yours
said you were governed by... What was it?

Uh, my dumb stick.

Oh.

Specifically, the way
your father started to...

obsess over a coworker
he worked closely with,

where it got to the point
that he had to do something,

to be so close to her
and not fall in love, uh,

became impossible.

Has that happened to you?

Yes.

Recently?

Yes.

Now, I know you're not married.

But if you were,
however happily,

can you see yourself...

working side by side with me,

sometimes late at night,

and still staying
faithful to your wife?

No.

I'd have to go, wouldn't I?

Yeah.

I can see you're struggling now.

Would you like to take a break,

so you can go off somewhere
and reach into your bulkhead?

W... Uh, yes.

That was embarrassing, Liza. I'm just
trying to show a genetic predisposition...

That what? We're more
likely to become obsessed?

We have to paint your
father as a victim, if we can.

Otherwise... You didn't
have to refer to my bulkhead.

Richard. Look.

We are trying to
win a case. Dad.

Dad, wh-what... I thought
you were going home.

What... What's wrong?

She filed for divorce.

She... What?

Your mother.

She's leaving me.

- You're blaming me?
- Yes, I'm blaming you.

That little seduction thing in
court. My mother watched that.

She could only imagine
that... Yes, I'm blaming you.

Richard, we're in there
trying to win a lawsuit.

Okay, I can't be worried
about... Well, I'm worried about it.

They're my... They're
my parents. I...

I... I'm sorry.

They're 60 years old. What
are they gonna do? Die alone?

No.

No. No. Listen. Why don't
you go talk to your mother?

She's obviously acting
on a lot of hurt right now.

Do you talk to your
parents, Richard?

Uh, I...

'Cause, if you'd like,
I'll speak with her.

No. I'll-I'll...
I'll talk to her.

And you never
danced professionally?

No. And you never studied?

In high school a little, but
mostly I just really love to do it.

Every day, after
school, in my room,

I'd put on the
music, and off I'd go.

So, at 30... 30
what? Thirty's good.

At 30, you decide to go try
out for a professional tour,

of one of the greatest dance
musicals ever mounted. Yes.

And you did so with high
expectations. You don't understand.

I may not have actual
experience, but...

I've danced every day,

with a dream basically
that's been on hold.

If this is your dream, why
not move to New York?

I've been thinking
about that, actually.

Thinking of it?
Elaine, you're 30.

Ah... Something.

If you're gonna walk this
plank, it better be soon.

It was today, Miles.

I walked it today.

And I think I earned a callback.

I have put up with a lot
through the years, Richard.

I don't think I
need to tell you.

Your father has an infinite
capacity for boorish behavior.

His womanizing, his...

When you said "dumb
stick" on the stand today...

Your father has always been
ruled by that part of his anatomy.

- You were named after it.
- Excellent. Glad to know that.

But like I said, I
always endured...

because I felt he could
never love another woman.

But, Mom, people
lust all the time.

It's whether they act or... I just think,
wh-what are you gonna do? Live alone?

What kind of a life is that?

Why don't you tell me, dear?

Richard, you've never been
married and never lived with anyone.

You never had a true partner.

You tell me. What
kind of life is alone?

I don't recommend it, Mom.

You know what?

You are just like him,
and you know you are.

That little, uh, Liza thing.
You're in love with her, why?

Well, she's nasty.

Uh, good fun.

Uh, she's-she's smart
and compassionate.

I go for givers.

You have some sexual craving.

When I look at you,
my heart breaks,

because I know
you'll always be alone.

You are incapable of
truly loving another, and...

I have to accept
that as my failing.

I will love somebody.

Who? Ling? Liza? Whipper?

Look at your pattern, Richard.
You're a chip off the old block.

you do that, please?

Why are you such a bitch?

What is wrong with you?

What did you say?

I didn't... Why is it always me?

Because it is.

Are you dying? No. I'm not.

What's going on?

I went out with the
director last night.

The director... Of the
musical I tried out for.

I went to his hotel, and I
slept with him, after which...

he asked me to leave, since
he had an early morning.

- Did you sleep with him
to get a callback?
- No. I really liked him.

Ah. So you're feeling stupid.

I'm feeling like a loser.

And you know something else?

At my audition, I
didn't even go all out.

I picked a safe
"tits and ass" song.

I didn't dance... not
like I can. Why not?

I don't know. Probably so I'd
have this excuse after not making it.

What's this director's name?

Oh, why?

I'd just like to know.

W... Wait a second.
She hired a lawyer?

No. No, she doesn't
even know I'm here.

Why are you here? Are
you gonna call her again?

I don't know. Why? Mr. Josephson,
I know what men tend to think...

of women who sleep
with them on the first date.

Excuse me. Since you
don't know me at all,

I don't think you should
presume to know what I think.

I-I will tell you Elaine and
I had a nice time last night.

- Obviously you know
how it ended.
- I'm not here to fight.

I'm sorry. I realize I've already
asked this twice, but why are you here?

Oh.

She's an extraordinary woman,

with extraordinary hopes, both
personally and professionally.

I guess if you're not gonna
call her again personally,

or even if you are,
could you at least...

call her back to... Oh...

No. I... From what I understand,
you haven't even seen her dance.

Not the way she can. I'm...
I'm a little uncomfortable...

bringing someone in simply
because of a personal relationship.

I understand. So, uh, maybe
you could take my word for it and...

invite her back.

She really is very talented.

And... five, six,
seven, eight. Please?

What'd she say?

Uh, it doesn't look good. Yeah.

So, you... you're working
on the... the closing.

Yeah.

Yeah. Well, let's at least bail
him out of this lawsuit if we can.

That's what I'm trying to do.

Yeah. Oh, that's
yours there. So...

Richard.

Hmm?

Do your parents love each other?

Yeah, well, of course they
do. They love each other a lot.

I mean, why else...

Wh-Why... Why
do... Why do you ask?

I was just curious.

Oh. Uh, look. Can
we get your mother...

in the room for closing?

It's important that the jury at
least think she supports him.

Right. Okay.

So, I'll... I'll see you there?

Right. Well...

Could I speak with you
for a second, please? Why?

What did you do?
I didn't do anything.

I just got a call from Miles, and he
said I could come back in to try out again.

Then he went on to say that I had a
pretty good friend in you. What did you do?

I just went there and asked
him to call you back because...

Forget it.

Elaine.

I don't need your charity.
And I don't need his pity.

All I did was suggest
to him that he hadn't

really seen you dance
to your potential...

and that maybe he could
at least give you that chance.

That's hardly charity,
and it certainly isn't pity.

Look, Elaine.

It doesn't matter to me one way or
the other. Then why did you go there?

Because it matters to you.

And chances... despite
what our parents tell us...

They don't come
in unlimited supply.

Look, Elaine.

I'm jealous of you.

The way you have dance,

something to believe in.

I have no passion in my life.

I... I don't mean a man.
I mean something...

You say this isn't something
you expected to get,

but you needed to know for
yourself that you went for it.

So do that, Elaine. Go back
to that theater and go for it.

And this time,

really dance.

Nothing's in dispute here.

The defendant admitted
in his testimony...

the discharge was predicated solely
on his personal feelings for the plaintiff.

That is an unlawful termination,
ladies and gentlemen.

And as illegal as
it is, it's also unfair.

This woman
performed her job well.

Her behavior was
beyond reproach,

and she was fired because her
boss became too attracted to her.

Never mind the law, people.

Go back to that room
and do the moral thing.

For once, let's
do the moral thing.

We are here today, in part,

because Mr. Fish became
attracted to the plaintiff.

But mainly we're here
because this man...

is profoundly in
love with his wife.

We are here because my client
didn't want to jeopardize that love.

Now, personally,
I've never been a wife.

And maybe Mr. Fishy Sr. has
been a very imperfect spouse.

Who knows?

But what I do know is
that when I get married...

And I very much plan to...

I want a partner who
will put that marriage first.

Was this discharge legal?

Well, that's your call.

Fair? I'm sure, from where
the plaintiff sits, not at all.

But moral? When you
love somebody deeply,

being loyal to that love is the
most moral thing you can do.

Charles Fish couldn't
leave the company.

He owns it.

There was no place to transfer
the plaintiff within the company.

It's too small.

His choice... his only choice...

Was to either continue
working side by side...

with a woman he was
developing feelings for...

or to prioritize his marriage.

If you knew the power of
the love he has for his wife,

you'd know that there
was really no choice at all.

Forty years of marriage,

and she still means
everything to him.

Maybe what he did was
technically wrongful under the law.

But here sits... a
very, very moral man.

Mr. Foreman, has the
jury reached a verdict?

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

In the matter of Stewart versus
Charles Fish and the Fish Industries,

we find in favor
of the plaintiff...

and order the defendant to pay
damages in the amount of $68,000.

Ladies and
gentlemen of the jury...

A year's severance pay.

We're adjourned.
Well, that's not so bad.

Compared to what could have
happened, I'm thrilled. Thank you, Liza.

Well, uh, you dodged one.

From now on, first rule of management:
Hire, uh, ugly assistants. Fishism.

Got it. Now, my divorce? Uh...

Do I need a divorce lawyer?

I was moved by her closing.

Not by anything you said.

Why do I have to hear it
from her, Charlie? Ellen,

everything I've learned
about expressing feelings,

I've learned from Richard.

Bygones.

But if it's expression you want,

how's about us getting married?

Excuse me? Renew our vows.

- Would you be best man, Son?
- She hasn't said yes yet.

Well... Honey?

Would you marry me, again?

Why do I always forgive you?

Because you love me?

As much as I love you.

I-I didn't get it.

It turns out they
already cast that part.

But I was good enough.

And you went for it.
You'll always have that.

I was there. You were?

And you were amazing. Thank you.

You know, maybe you didn't get
it this time, but the day is coming.

I can't believe it.

I really owe you.

Owe me? For what?

That closing was
designed to bring them back

together as much as
it was to win the case.

Well, win-win.

Win-win-win, actually.

What's the third?

The third'll have you quickly
hailing a cab. I don't follow.

Uh,

my mother accused
me of something that I...

Well...

This little fixation of
mine on you, uh, Liza...

It isn't just sexual.

You probably don't
want to hear this, but I...

I'm falling in love with you.

You see, uh, I have started to
see inside those windows of yours...

Taxi!

Get in.
