Melrose Place (1992–1999): Season 4, Episode 9 - Amanda Unplugged - full transcript

You should get some
sleep, Mrs. Parezi.

Woodward.

Jack and I
are separated.

What a shame it took
something like this

to bring you
together again.

How's he doing?
He's stable.

Is he gonna live?

Well, miracles
can happen.

I hadn't noticed.

You know, sometimes
coma patients respond

if their loved ones
just talk to them...



touch them...

remind them of
special times.

You think he
can hear me?

I'm sure of it.

It's me, Jack...

Amanda.

I was just
thinking about

some of our special
times we had together.

Like the time I forgot
to fold your socks,

and you pounded my
face into the bedpost.

I needed
18 stitches that time.

Or, remember when
you broke my hand

because I wore the
wrong color dress?

Remember how I
cried all night?



Remember this, Jack.

For every black eye

and bruise
you ever gave me...

you son of a bitch...

I hope you die.

I have something
in my eye.

Just keep blinking,
it'll wash out.

I tried. Would you
look at it?

You just wanna get me
back into bed, don't you?

Ooh, you have a
very high opinion of
yourself this morning.

Here, let me look at it.

Arrrr, oh...

Mmm, fortunately,
so do I.

Yeah, well, let's just
hope my new client

shares our opinion.

Ohh.

Ow! You're a
party pooper!

Are you planning
to go to work today?

Yes.

But, fortunately,
I don't have

any breakfast meetings,
so I plan on showing up

at a civilized
time, thank you.

[small crash]

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine,
I just, uh,

knocked over
some junk.

[humming]

What's this?

Looks like my
diaphragm case.

Right. And it,
uh, fell open,

and there's
a diaphragm inside.

Well, what did
you expect to find

in my diaphragm case?
A toaster?

You didn't use it
last night, did you?

Guess not.
Guess not?

Well, why would I use
it when I've been trying

to get pregnant
all month?

Excuse me?

How could you do this
and not tell me?

I want to have your baby,
is that a crime?

I was doing this for us.

No, you were doing it for
you and manipulating me.

Billy, I don't
manipulate you.

Me and everybody else.

It's like breathing, you
don't even think about it.

And I'm getting
sick of it.

♪ ♪

Hey, Syd.

Hey, Matt.
Michael.

I need a favor.

I hope you don't want
your old job back.

Nope, I just need a
doctor's recommendation.

I'm going back
to med school.

Medical school?

Matt, that's great.

No, no, that's
ridiculous.

What makes
you think you--

I already put in
two years, Michael.

And then what,
you tanked?

No, I left because it
was so dehumanizing.

Michael, just sign the
damn recommendation.

Sure, why not?

I need to have a word
with you two, now.

Alone, please.

Thanks, Matt.

You actually hired an
actor to stalk Kimberly?

Well, I can't
take full credit,

though I'd like to.

It was one of those
inspired plans

that just blossomed

out of the union
of two great minds.

This is
really sick,

not to mention
unprofessional,

unethical,
and illegal.

Whoa, whoa, excuse me.

But as Jack Parezi's
doctor, it seems to me

you'restanding on very
shaky ethical ground,

you and his dear wife
Amanda hovering at
his bedside--

Leave Amanda
out of this.

Amanda?
[knocking]

Oh, good.
You're all here.

What are you doing
on the loose?

Well, it is almost
Halloween, Michael.

I guess all the monsters
and goblins are out.

I came here for my
therapy session with Peter,

but first,
I wanted to say

how thankful I am
to you and Syd.

For what?

[laughing]

For hiring that bad
actor to lurk around.

It made me realize

that I am completely
sane again.

Henry was just a figment
of my imagination,

and now he's
gone for good.

Thank you.

From the bottom
of my heart.

And a deep, dark
bottom it is.

I think I had a
little breakthrough.

So, what's this about
Amanda's husband?

Just stay out
of it, Syd, okay?

Haven't you been in enough
trouble for a while?

And how are we?

We are hopeful.

Good.

I just have some papers
for you to sign.

Can't it wait
for a slightly more
appropriate moment?

I'm sorry, I forgot.
You're a lawyer.

And you're a...

grieving wife.

I think you
better leave.

Well, first, I just wanted
to express my concern

on behalf of
Jack's family.

They're only concerned
about cold cash.

Well, then you can
imagine their discomfort

at the idea of you
inheriting all of
Jack's millions.

I don't want
Jack's money.

Good.

That's good.

Because we don't want any
trouble for Jack...

or you.

Now, if you would
just sign this.

What is it?

Well, this just
indemnifies Jack

against any future claims
that you may think you have

for prior acts,
or whatever.

Send it to
my lawyer.

Why don't we do this
without lawyers?

Why? You want to
try and defraud me
out of something?

Well, fraud is something
you know about.

Isn't it,
Ms. Parezi?

I mean,
Ms. Woodward.

Do you have any idea
how Jack treated me?

I was afraid for
my life in Florida.

It sounds more
all the time like...

you've got a
motive for murder.

Now, if you don't
help me out--

Help you out?
I'll help you out.

Get out of here and
leave me alone!

Ms. Parezi, you would
be wise to deal with me.

I'm the white sheep
of the family.

♪ ♪

Hi.

Hey, Billy?

What do you think
of this dress?

Hayley's taking me
to a charity ball.

I need
something elegant.

Yeah, that's great.
Yeah?

I need to start dressing
better for dinner anyway.

He's got a five-star
chef at the mansion.

Well, maybe you
could bring me

a doggy bag sometime.

I'm sorry.

You seem kind of down.
Are you okay?

Uh, I had a little
fight with Brooke.

No big deal.

You want to talk
about it?

I'll send you a memo.

It's all set.
We're going to Hawaii.

That's impossible,
we have the whole
summer line to organize.

Well, it's the summer
line I'm talking about.

We'll do an inspiration
shoot, it'll give us
new direction.

Oh, is this to help
you grow to love me?

Richard, I just wanna
spend time with you.

Give me a chance.

Look, Jane, I don't
stir your passion.

I can deal with it.

Fine.
Then we'll consider

the Hawaii shoot
strictly business,

but I still think it
makes sense to go.

Okay, then we should
take Jo along

to shoot the
locations, in that case.

Jo, would you come
in here, please?

Richard, we can pick up
a photographer there.

Nobody knows what we're
looking for like she does.

She's way too busy, she's
working with layout,

designing the catalog--
The catalog can wait.

Hi. What's up?

We were just wondering
what's on your plate
this week.

Um, not much.
Pick-up stuff.

Then it's all settled.
We're going to Hawaii.

The three of us,
that is.

To, uh, shoot summer
colors. You up for it?

Yeah. I would
love to go.

♪ ♪

How's it going?
'Cause business sucks.

The computer
has spoken.

Your accounts
are a disaster.

Great.

Well, am I
bankrupt yet?

I prefer to think of it as
financially challenged.

[knocking]

Hi. Jake, I need
to talk to you.

Well, I've never known you
to be early for a date.

I'm sorry,
I have to cancel.

I'm going on a business trip
with Jane and Richard.

Tonight?
No, but I have to pack,

and I have to finish
cropping this catalog shoot

and I have to buy a
bathing suit, and--

For a business trip?

It's in Hawaii, Jake.

Well, that makes
it okay, I guess.

What? This is a great
opportunity for me.

Well, don't let a little
thing like a promise

to me stand
in your way.

Oh, for God
sakes, Jake.

What? I'm wrong?
We didn't have a date?

Would you just
grow up?

I'm sure you'll
do well in that
swimsuit competition!

Come on. I'll dance
your troubles away.

I'm not much
in the mood.

Yeah, well, are you
in the mood to focus

on how you're gonna fill up
this bar with customers?

Hey, one more couple gets
out on the dance floor,

we can call it a crowd.

That's a great idea.
What?

We'll have a dance
night, we'll, uh...

set a cover charge,
hire a DJ,

and generate
a cash flow.

You're a genius,
you know that?

♪ ♪

I just think you should
go for a wider market.

More user-friendly.

Well, that's easy
for you to say,

but who are you
gonna target?

Young women.

Even those who work
like to feel taken care of.

Is that what you like?

It's one of the things.

Well, working women is
one of the things I like.

Did Brooke's mother
have a career?

I'm sorry, I--
No.

[doorbell rings]

A-ha.

Alison, where
are you going?

Charles will
get the door.

I'm afraid I dismissed
Charles tonight,

as well as the
kitchen staff.

Hi.

Why?

I'll be doing
this evening's meal.

Yeah.

Dinner is served.
Mmm.

I love you,
you know that?

[telephone rings]

Ah, why don't you get us
a bottle of Bordeaux?

There's a wine
cellar down the hall--

I'm sorry, I forgot
you don't drink.

It's okay.

I'll get some
for you.

Maybe I can
seduce you faster.

Ahh.

♪ ♪

Don't ever go
in that room!

What is it?

It's private.
Is that understood?

Is that
understood?

Of course.

I'm sorry.
I'll get the wine.

Excuse me.

I'm looking
for Jack Parezi.

I'm sorry, only
immediate family

is allowed in
the room.

Oh. Is Uncle Jack
doing worse?

I'm afraid he's
slipped into coma.

Oh, how awful.
How did it happen?

He took a
rather nasty fall.

Hi. Are you a
friend of Jack's?

I'm his lawyer,

but you are not
his niece.

Actually...

niece is a polite term
for what I was to Jack,

if you know what I mean.

Well, I hope you're not
looking to get your hands

on any of his money.

[giggles]

How much money are we
talking about here?

More than you wanna be
poking your nose into, honey.

I don't know.

I have a
pretty long nose.

You wanted to see me?
Yes.

I'd like a progress report
on my father's account.

We're just having concept
meetings at this point.

Identifying markets,
prioritizing goals.

How do you like
living in my house?

I like it.

Actually, um...

I find it kind
of intimidating.

All those rooms, they make
me feel kind of lost.

Well, I'll have to draw
you a map sometime.

As a matter of fact,

there's a locked door
next to the wine cellar.

Do you know
what's in there?

It's my mother's--

Do you really wanna
hear about this?

Of course.

[sighs]
Well...

Maybe you should check
it out for yourself.

This opens the door.

Then you'll see why you can
never compete with her.

♪ ♪

Hi. I'm looking for
Jo, is she around?

Uh, yeah, but she's busy
right now, I'm afraid.

Can I give
her a message?

No, um, this won't
take long, though,

I just need to see
her for a minute.

Well, she's in
the dark room,

and she doesn't
want to be disturbed.

You think you know her well
enough to speak for her?

Yeah, I do.

Richard, we've got an
angry buyer on line three,

I need you right away.

Hi, Jake.
Hey.

Well, I guess you
better get that.

♪ ♪

[knocking]
Yeah?

My God, you can't just
come barging in like that.

You said "Come in."
I said "Yeah."

Well, I thought "Yeah"
meant "Come in."

You're lucky these
prints were fixed.

Well, I'm a
lucky guy.

It's nice to
see you, too.

We've been missing
connections lately.

I just wanted to tell you
that I started a dance night

at Shooters, I'd like
you to come tonight.

Tonight?
I'll try.

I just have 1,000 chores
between now and Hawaii.

And where am I?
960? 975?

Oh, Jake.
You know this trip

is gonna be really, really
good for my portfolio.

So, I guess wishing
you weren't leaving

would be politically
incorrect then.

Let's just call it
hopelessly romantic.

Besides, it's only a week,
strictly business.

Promise not to have fun?

I actually think that
Richard wants me to go

partly to be a chaperone

to keep Jane's mind
on her work.

I think he's
after you.

Come on, don't get
paranoid on me.

You're the guy
I'm coming back to.

Yeah, well, he's the guy
you're going away with.

Look, I have to get
these to layout.

I'll make it
tonight if I can.

damn sensitive.

Thank you.

No problem.

You know, you're really a
jerk sometimes, Michael.

What do you care if he
goes to med school or not?

Remember? He faked your
blood alcohol level.

that ancient history?

I just don't think
you should forget it.

You know, you really
could use an ally

awful in the morning.

I feel awful now.

please don't go.

I know, but
it could be.

have been ruined by secrets.

It's not gonna
happen anymore.

Wait.
Please.

Just listen.

Okay, go ahead.

I married Laurel

because I got
her pregnant.

And because
she was rich.

Thought she was supposed to
be the big love of your life.

The big lie
of my life.

We had that
contemporary curse...

a thoroughly
modern marriage.

So free, so adult,
so empty.

Why stay married?

I thought it was
best for Brooke.

Laurel, I think, just
did it to punish me.

She flaunted
her affairs.

Hayley,

why is that room
there then?

I don't know.
For Brooke, maybe?

Or maybe as a reminder
of the charade,

what never

I'm sure that she
sent you in there

just to cause a

Yeah, right.

No, really, Billy,
I'm pregnant.

This kind of joke isn't
funny after what happened.

It's not a joke.

It's our baby.

You can't
be pregnant.

We were gonna discuss it
first, and you were
gonna start

using your
diaphragm again.

This happened weeks ago,
it's just now showing up.

No.

Are you saying that you
don't want this child?

[laughing]

I'm...

really having a baby?

Mm-hmm.

But, let's keep it
private for a while.

Why?

Oh, I just want to get
used to it ourselves

before we go
public with it.

A baby.

[laughing]

Uh-huh.

Hey, Matt.

What you got in there?
Practice tests?

Uh, no, just clearing
out the last of my stuff

from my old office.

The exam
was yesterday.

Wait a second, wait a
second, how'd you do?

I don't know my
test scores yet,

but if it went as
badly as it felt,

you won't be seeing me
around here much anymore.

Oh, come on,
you're a smart guy.

I'm sure you got at least
the 500 you needed

to pass the test.
Or not.

Well, give yourself
a break, okay?

I mean, with everything
you've been through
lately, you know?

I'm not looking for any
excuses, but I'm going crazy

wondering whether I got
in or not, you know?

I just wish someone would
tell me one way or the other,

and put me out of
my misery, huh?

See ya.

Uh, yes, this
is Dr. Hoffman,

and I need to access a med
student's phone number,

but I have
misplaced my password.

Could you,
um...

Yes, thank you.

How could I have
forgotten that?

Cranium.

Bingo.

Okay, Fielding.

Oh, Matt, you
were so close,

but you didn't
make the cut.

I'll tell you what.

Maybe you did.

Your carriage
is waiting.

Great.

So, is Jane
already in the limo?

Uh, no.

Okay, then I'll
just go get her.

I didn't tell you
that Jane's not going?

Some nightmare
miscommunication

with our New York buyer
only Jane could deal with.

I'm just thankful that she
felt she could take it on

with such short notice.

Anyway, to make a long
story short, uh,

the upshot of it is that
Jane's not going to Hawaii.

The upshot, Richard,
is that neither am I.

What?
Jake was right.

You planned this whole
setup just to get me alone.

No, wait a minute.

This is a business
trip, okay?

You can't bow out now,
I need a photographer

who knows our line.

Well, I know your
line now, Richard,

and I'm not gonna fall
for it again.

Jo.

Jo, wait a minute.

Look, I admit
I wouldn't have objected

to a little romance.

But, just come
with me now,

and I'll be a perfect
gentleman, I promise.

Let me show you
the real me.

No, I think I've
seen it, Richard.

I'm gonna spend the weekend
with the real Jake.

I'm going home.

Can you handle
any emergencies

that come in tonight,
Michael?

I can if they
have insurance.

Michael, psst,
come here.

Guess what this is.

Voodoo Lounge?

Amanda's secret
confession, about what
she did to her husband.

Where did you get that,
Syd? Give that to me.
Give it to me!

Want to know what
happened to Jack?

I know what happened.

Oh. You do?

Sydney, I'm already
covering for Amanda.

So, if you make
that tape public,

you're gonna bring me
down along with her.

Michael, this is a
million-dollar tape.

If I could at least just
threaten Amanda with it.

Syd, everything in life

is not about exploitation
and betrayal.

What, are you nuts?
Of course it is.

You never change.

I care about Amanda, and I
don't wanna see her hurt.

Oh, right.

Amanda this,
Amanda that.

You wouldn't be acting
this way if it were
my ass on the line.

Oh, come on, Syd.
You know I would.

Really?

Yeah, I'm a very
caring person.

Now, I told you once
before, this stuff

is over your head, and I
don't wanna see you get hurt.

So, um, stay
out of it.

I will try,
Michael.

I really will try.

And on the laptop,
ladies and gentlemen,

we have Miss
Shelly Hanson.

Thank you, thank you.
And for my next number,

I'd like to do some
Chuck Berry.

Why don't you do me?

Does Jo know
where you are?

Jo is otherwise
engaged.

Jake, you know how
I feel about you.

Yeah, you mentioned
something

about a
cleanup crew.

Look, you're a little
toasted right now.

Why don't you let
me take you home?

Mm, okay.

You be the
designated driver.

I'm sorry, I didn't

I hope you

Aah!
