Melrose Place (1992–1999): Season 5, Episode 9 - Farewell, Mike's Concubine - full transcript

Michael campaigns to become the new chief of staff at Wilshire Hospital, as does Peter, and as does Dr. Irene Shulman, the overachieving chief resident. Meanwhile, Kimberly meets with Megan thus revealing that Kimberly hired Megan to seduce Michael to get him sexually active again. Kimberly orders Megan to end the charade with Michael. But Michael refuses back away from Megan. After Amanda saves Craig from botching an account, he reluctantly agrees to tell her about his father's plans to oust her from D&D. Alison sees an opportunity to come back to D&D temporarily when Amanda asks her help to keep a major account. Dan exercises emotional caution in his burgeoning relationship with Matt after their first date. Craig continues to pursue Samantha, much to Billy's wariness, while Sydney does the same with Kyle, and Taylor continues the same with Peter who continues to lie to Amanda about what he knows about Taylor.

I won't be needing
your services
any longer.

Why? Are you and Michael
intimate again?

What was he doing here?

He followed me.

Our deal was very specific.

You were to entertain him
only at the beach house.

There was nothing
I could do about this.

I hired you
to service him in bed,

not to become
his new best friend.

I know, but Michael
likes to talk.

When I wouldn't talk
about my life,
he got very weird.



We had a business
arrangement,
and now it's over.

I'll have a final
check for you in
the next day or so.

In the meantime,
cut him loose.

Just like that, Kimberly?

Kimberly!

Michael won't go away
that easily.

I took him places
he's never been before.

Michael is mine, Megan.

End the
relationship now.

Ooh. Someone's
trying hard
to impress you.

It's Craig.
Looks like there's
gonna be a second date.

Ooh, lucky you.
Listen, I'll see you
at the shop.

Hey, shouldn't you
be taking off
a few days?

I mean, after everything
that's happened?

After everything
that's happened,
I need to keep busy.

You know, stop living
in the past, start
working on my future.

Take your time.
I'll open up.

Oh.

Relax. She's not
out to get us.

Hey, Jane.

Hi.

I'll see you later.

So, how's it going?

O.K. Alison still
seems a little shaky.

Guess she's just
waiting for me

to heave another brick
through your window.

Jane, come on.

Actually I'm thinking
about moving.

I'm sure you guys
would be more
comfortable

if I wasn't living
right next door.

Just give it some time.
Everything will be--

back to normal?

I don't think so,
Jake.

But in the meantime,
I promise to keep
my distance.

Hey. We need
to talk.

Not now. I've got
enough problems at home.

No. Come here.

While you were
in Portland,

Arthur Field
met with the board
twice.

Big deal, he meets
with them all the time.

No, it was a big secret.

The meeting wasn't
even on the schedule.

I found out because
I wandered into
the conference room.

Amanda, they were
discussing some kind
of reorganization.

That will reorganize me
right out of the agency.

What else did you hear?

Nothing. That's it.

I'm sure our heir apparent
knows all the gory details.

It's after 9:00.
Where is he?

Craig's pitching
Midline Airways
this morning.

He set up
the meeting himself.

And you let him?

Well, if you recall,
you demoted me
and made Craig my boss.

This is a disaster.

Where are you going?
Let him flop.

Don't be an idiot.
It's a $2 million account.

[Michael]
Oh, thanks, Dr. Shulman.

Um, listen,
I'll be right back.

Michael, what's
Dr. Shulman doing
in your office?

She's feeling me out
for the chief-of-staff
position at the hospital.

That's fantastic!

Yeah, I helped her
bust this drug ring

involving some
medical students.

Some heads had to roll,
including Matt's,

but the important thing is
I proved my loyalty
to Wilshire Memorial.

Listen, is Peter in yet?

No.

Oh, good. I have to use
his office, use the phone.

[line ringing]

Hey. What did you do
last night after I left?

Or should I say,
who did you do?

That's precious,
Michael.

I can't see you
tonight.

What do you mean?
I miss you.

I've been
counting the hours.

No, not tonight.
Not ever.

What does that mean,
"not ever"?

Not ever on Monday,
not ever on a weekday?

This is
not negotiable.

First of all,
don't ever say
"not ever" to me.

And second,
I'll stay away...

all morning
and all afternoon.

But I'll see you
tonight at 7:00.

I don't know
what's going on
at D and D,

but it sure isn't
the same agency

it was 6 months ago.

Mr. Baker, why don't you
give me a chance

to walk you through
the campaign again.

Better yet,
walk yourself out.

Hold all my calls.

Amanda. What are you
doing here?

Just tell me
you didn't blow it.

No. The pitch
went okay.

There were a couple bumps,
but we'll smooth them out.

We'll get Baker
back in the groove
in our follow-up meeting.

We're gonna lose
the account.

Why all the negativity?

Look at this
as an opportunity.

We go back,
we fine-tune the campaign,

you re-pitch it and bask
in all the glory.

You're asking me
to save your butt?

It's my butt
on the line here.

Come on, Amanda, you do this
for me and everybody wins.

Besides, you don't
understand the first thing

about my relationship
with my father.

He won't let me
live this down.

Maybe there is
something you can
do for me.

The notes from
the board meetings

your father had
while I was in Portland.

I want them.

What meeting?

Okay. I'll get you
the notes.

Deal. Get lost,
Junior, before
I change my mind.

Tell Mr. Baker
Amanda Woodward
is here to see him.

Oh, he asked not
to be interrupted.

Maybe I didn't
make myself clear.

I'm Amanda Woodward.
Mr. Baker will see me. Now.

Do you mind?

So, where's the rock?

What?

You know, that big,
hunky diamond ring
of yours.

Didn't it fit?

What do you know
about that?

Hardly anything.
I just saw Peter
showing it to Taylor.

From what
I could surmise,

they went shopping
for it together.

Frankly, I thought
Peter had exquisite
taste,

but maybe he didn't
trust himself this time.

Actually, come to think of it,
they were awfully chummy.

Michael, no.

What? What's wrong?

It's over. Get back
in your car and go.

Lose my number.

What's it gonna take
to get you to leave me
alone, Michael?

I thought we resolved
this last night.

I am a prostitute, Michael.
You are a married man.

It would never work
between us.

So we don't have the perfect
relationship. So what?

The electricity between us
could power the entire
San Fernando Valley.

You see this?

I have slept
with every man
in this book.

This is who I am.
This is my life.

Give me that.
Give me that!

Look, you don't have
to sell your body anymore.

I want to take care of you.

Maybe I like
what I do.

Did you ever think
about that?

Maybe I don't want
to get too close to you.

My life was perfectly
okay before I met
you, Michael.

I don't need this,
so get out.

Leave me alone.
It's over.

I've got a john
coming over.

[Peter]
So how was your day?

[Amanda]
Like you care.

What's the matter
with you?

Why are
you still so angry?

What 2 minutes did you not
spend with Taylor
while I was in Portland?

I ran into her
at the jewelry store.

It wasn't like
I met her there.

It was a chance
encounter.

Nothing Taylor does
is by chance.

You know, you used to be
so perceptive about women.

Why can't you see
through her act?

Maybe you can.
Maybe you're hiding something.

You know, I told you
what would happen

if you lied to me again,

so if there's anything
that you haven't told me

you can tell me now--

not in a week,
not in a month.

There's nothing
to tell.

Fine. I'm going to bed.

[knock on door]

These are for you.

You brought bagels.

Why?

Consider it
a peace offering.

Can we talk inside?

Sure. Jake is still
asleep.

Midline's getting ready
to pull their account.

They haven't been happy
since you left.

Really?

Yes, really.

I was wondering
if you'd be interested

in a short-term
consulting
arrangement.

How short-term?

Well, you'd be in charge
of the account

for the next 3 days,
through the pitch
meeting.

And in return, I pay you
a substantial
consultant fee,

say $5,000?

Oh.

I take it
your answer is yes.

Look, I am really happy
working at Shooters.

Happy doesn't pay
the bills.

At least tell me
you'll think
about it.

Please.

All right.
But only because
you brought bagels.

Here are the files.
Take a look at them.

And get back to me
by the end
of the day.

Okay.

Didn't know
you were a pool shark.

I come here at lunch sometimes
to blow off some steam.

If you're having
problems at the office
or anywhere else,

you can talk to me.

As a matter of fact,
I do have a problem.

His name
is Craig Field.

Oh, that's right,
I forgot.

You and old Craig
had a date the other night.

To hear him tell it,
all he did was talk
about me.

Billy, who I go out
and what we talk about

is none
of your business.

Because we're
barely acquaintances.

We went out a couple times.
No big deal.

Why are you
doing this?

I'm not doing anything.

I'm just trying
to get the ball

in the side pocket there.

Craig is a nice guy.
Why do you have such
a thing on him?

Because underneath
that great tan

lies the heart of a snake.

I can't believe
you don't see it.

There you go.

Oh, thank you.

What do you need?

A few days off,
if you can spare me.

Yeah, I guess. Why?

Amanda's in a jam.
She asked me to go back
to work for a few days.

Don't tell me
you want to go back
to the rat race again.

No, but the money
she's offering is
too good to pass up.

So you're doing it
for the money.

Jake, I lost everything
in the fire.

If I do this, I can buy
myself some new clothes--

Why didn't you
say something?

I'd be happy to spring
for some new jeans

or T-shirts
or whatever you need.

That's very sweet,
but I still need

my independence,
at least financially.

You okay with that?

Sure! Take as many
days as you need.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Hey, Amanda.

Hey, yourself.

I thought I might come by,
get a look at the
preliminary sketches

for my restaurant's
ad campaign,

since I was sort of
in the neighborhood.

For 2 people
new to L.A.,

you and your wife
sure do get around.

I'm beginning
to resent

your attitude
towards my wife.

Resent it
all you want.

If your marriage
is in trouble, lady,

my advice to you,
look a little closer
to home.

And my advice is,
keep the little
woman on a short leash,

or I'll run her over.

I'm not afraid
of you, Amanda.

I've seen much worse,
in the marines.

Is that a fact?
It's a fact.

Underneath this
steel exterior

is a frightened
little woman.

I'm beginning
to think she isn't
marriage material.

Go to hell, and give
my regards to your wife
when you get there.

I'll check on
those sketches later.

Oh, Peter! Wait up.

I didn't know
you had surgery
scheduled.

Oh, actually,
it's one of yours.

Mrs. De Carlo.
Carotid artery.

You're more than welcome
to assist.

It would be a good way
to ease yourself back
into the O.R.

I'm sure
you can handle it.

Okay, look, I'm throwing
my hat in the ring
for chief of staff.

What?!

So I took the liberty
of composing

a letter of recommendation
from you to Dr. Shulman.

Here, all you have to do
is sign it.

Forget it!

Michael, you don't
have time to be
chief of staff.

You've got to put
everything into
our practice.

Hey, being head
mucky-muck here

can only help our anemic
little practice.

Take a look.

"While I was recently
incarcerated for
first-degree murder,

my partner shouldered
the burden of our
medical practice."

If you think
that I'm signing this--

Oh, come on. Read on.
I paid you a lot
of compliments.

Dr. Mancini?
We're ready.

[whining]
Oh, just be a pal,
all right?

Jeez, I almost forgot.

Once you sign that,
just hand-deliver it
to Dr. Shulman, would you?

This is it.

Nice.

In case you were
wondering...

I thought it was
a great first date.

I'd kick myself
if I blow this now,

but I was wondering
if you want to come in.

Maybe spend the night.

I'm moving too fast?

Matt, something
you should know.

I'm a one-man man.

You don't know
how relieved
I am to hear that.

Good, because I don't
participate in casual sex.

Not what I was asking,
honest.

I know, I know, it's just
not a race, okay?

I need to know that you
are absolutely sure

that it's what you want

before we become
emotionally attached.

Dan, I've never
been more sure
of anything.

Please stay.

I got early rounds
in the morning. So do you.

So why don't we just
call it a night, huh?

Sure. Whatever.

I'll see you
tomorrow?

All right.

I'll see you
in the morning.

Anything
you'd like more of?

Coffee? Wine?

You wouldn't have had
to ask that question
a month ago.

Maybe I can do something
to erase your memory

of the last 30 days.

Are you all right?

I was so worried
when I got your call.

I needed to talk to you.

Dropping by the restaurant

or knocking on your door
seemed out of the question.

This is about
Amanda again, isn't it?

She's got this crazy idea
about the 2 of us,

you and me.

She thinks we're fooling
around, I know.
So does Kyle.

You're kidding.

But it doesn't matter
what they think

because you and I
are just friends.

And as your friend,
I've gotta tell you,

you kind of look down.

It's more than Amanda,
isn't it?

There's something
else wrong.

Things aren't going
very well in my practice.

Being accused of murder

doesn't really instill
confidence in your
patients.

And my partner's
about to bolt.

Peter, you are
a great surgeon.
You always have been.

I can remember
my father telling me

he'd never met anybody
with so much natural skill.

You remind me
of Beth right now.

She was always
my cheerleader.

And Amanda?

It's different
with Amanda, you know.

She doesn't believe
in pedestals.

We share everything.
It's all equal.

That's why I think
it might have been
a mistake

not telling her
that you're Beth's
sister.

Well, you're not thinking
of telling her now.

I think it would
clear the air.

Maybe with Amanda,
but not with Kyle.

We've already kept it
a secret,

and he's gonna
want to know why.

Peter, I'm begging you.
You have to do this for me.

Please don't say anything.

I love Kyle so much
and our relationship
is so fragile right now,

I don't know what
I would do if I lost him.

Okay, I won't
say anything.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

I just want you
to love me the way
you used to.

Mmm. Megan...

Here.

All right,
what's your problem?

I'm not sure
I trust you anymore.

What?

Oh, if this is gonna turn
into another discussion

about Amanda Woodward
and her ridiculous suspicions,

then I'm getting dressed.

This has nothing
to do with her.

This has to do
with Peter.

I've seen you
flirting with him,

standing too close,
doing that thing you do
with your lips.

What thing that I do
with my lips?

Are you attracted
to him?

This is a trick
question, right?

No, this is
a simple question,

requiring a simple
yes or no answer.

Well, none of the above.

I'm attracted
to a lot of men, Kyle,

but I'm married to you.

Kyle, don't do this.

I would be lost
without you.

You're my whole world,
and you know that.

I'm sorry.

I guess
I'm just reacting

to something
that Amanda said.

It's okay.
I understand.

But if the interrogation's
over,

I have to get
to the restaurant.

Alison! It's good
to see you again.

It's good to
see you, Guy.

Miss Parker,
how are you?

Oh, this is so weird.

You're supposed to say
it feels great
to be back...

and tell me your
consulting gig
is permanent.

Billy.

I could use an ally now that
Craig Field works here.

What about me
working here?

Uh, nothing.

Alison Parker,
meet Craig Field.

He meant to add
son of Arthur Field,

but I'm sure you
already know that.

Oh, am I supposed
to be impressed?

No, it's an albatross
around my neck.

I considered
changing my name,

but then I'd have to get
a new driver's license,

stand in line
at the DMV.

You're not what
I expected.

Good.

Everyone's waiting for us
at the conference room.

Shall we go?

Yes. I'll see
you later.

Great. Thanks.

Ready to wow them?

Let's hope so.

We've got a deal.
I'm about to satisfy my end.
What about you?

I'm working on it.

You have 48 hours.

I get the notes
or your father gets
an earful.

You look different.

Oh! I'm not sure.

Is that a positive
or a negative on
the Jake Hanson fashion meter?

It's just different.

So how'd it go?

Well, Amanda trotted me out
like a circus animal,

but Midline agreed
to stay with the agency,

so I guess
it went great.

But?

But it is still
a scummy business,

and I can't believe
I allowed myself to get
sucked back in.

Amanda offered me
a permanent job...

with a substantial
raise.

So what did you
tell her?

I haven't told her
anything yet.

When I do, it'll be
a big N-O.

Is that relief I see?

Maybe.

But I'm thinking that
you do need something
more substantial

to challenge you
than just waitressing.

What would you say
to a partnership
interest in Shooters?

Oh, Jake!

You don't have
to bribe me.

I'm not going anywhere,

except to go
put on my jeans.

I'll be in the office
if you want to watch.

Matt, you've seen Michael,
haven't you?

No, not tonight.

Oh, it's just that...

I brought him dinner,
and it's getting cold,

and I can't find him.

Maybe I just got confused.
He's probably waiting for me
at home.

Uh... Kimberly?

Are you okay?

I'm fine, Matt.
I'm sorry to have
bothered you.

Oh, oh, oh,
it's starting already.

I don't want to die.

[panting]

You heard me. She's out
of the business.

Closed up shop,
gone fishing.

What part of that didn't
you understand?

Give me that,
Michael.

You lose her number.

The next call I make
is to your wife.

Oh, yeah? Same
to you, pal.

What are you doing?

I'm calling
all your clients,

from Aames to
Zutavern,

telling them that
you're retired.

Hand over the book
and get out.

Look, who do you think
pays the rent on
this place, Michael?

It's not like I have
a medical degree
to fall back on.

You don't have to
worry about that.

I want to take
care of you.

Oh, so you think you can
just come in here and save me?

How naive are you?

There are people
depending on me, Michael.

My mom, my dad, I can't
just let them down.

I'll take care
of them, too.

Look, Megan, I just want
to be the only man
in your life.

Nobody's ever
done anything
like this for me.

I want to do
a lot more, Megan.

I want us to make
a commitment to
each other.

I want you to be
my mistress.

I know that sounds
old-fashioned,

and I wish I could
give all of myself
to you,

but I can't.

Me and my wife, we've been
through a lot together,

and you know
how it is.

I hate that book
and every name in it,

so, yes.

I'll even take a small
part of you.

No matter what
the consequences are.

Hi.

Need some help
with that?

Let me take that.

Thanks.

You know what, Amanda?

This is absolutely
ridiculous.

Come on, I think
it's time

that we cleared
the air here.

I'll go first,
okay?

Okay.

You know I always had
this picture

of the way it was
going to be between us,

that I was gonna buy you
this big fancy house

and take you shopping
on Rodeo Drive,

and whisk you off
to Paris for the weekends,

but you see,
I always thought

that ordinary just
wouldn't cut it
with Amanda Woodward.

That whether
you wanted it or not,

I had this compulsion
to take care of you,

but because of what
I've been going through
for the last 6 months,

you've been
taking care of me.

And I'm not dealing
very well with that.

That's why I've been
acting like a jerk.

And I'm sorry.

Your turn.

Okay.

Well, over
the past year,

you've become this big
presence in my life,

and it's not something
that I was looking for.

It's just something
that I got used to.

And I suddenly
found myself

needing someone.

You.

And then you were
taken away from me,

and you haven't exactly
been back since...

if you know
what I mean.

So I think maybe
I've been

punishing you
because of that.

I don't mean to.

And um...

I love you...

and I'm sorry, too.

And now I'm
through talking.

Hang on one second.

Don't push
your luck.

Hang on one second.
Wait a minute.

I, um...

No.

I went out and bought it
by myself this time.

Go on, open it.

It's uh...

mood ring.

Only cost me 10 bucks.

Changes colors,
depending on what
mood you're in.

I thought it might
help me understand
you better.

Ha! Well,
I'm all for that.
Thank you.

It's still red.

Oh, red.

What does that mean?

Well, red means that...

you're crazy about me.

And uh...

that you can't
keep your...

hands off me.

You wasted 10 bucks.

I could've told
you that myself.

[siren blaring]

[knock on door]

Ah, Dr. Burns.

Oh, Dr. Shulman.

Guess my secretary
must be late again.

What can I do
for you?

I understand my partner's
up for the position
of chief of staff.

Actually, his exact
words were,

"it's in the bag."

Well, we all know
Dr. Mancini's propensity

for self-exaggeration.

Oh, right.

So then he doesn't have
a lock on it?

I'm afraid not.

The selection committee
is looking for someone

a little more
established,

aggressive, but not
unprincipled,

and if we're
really lucky,

hungry to get into
administration.

I'm plenty hungry.

You are?

Yes. I've done
the job before,

and if being jailed
for a crime I didn't commit

hasn't changed your
good opinion of me,

I'd like to throw my hat
into the ring.

On the contrary, Peter,
I've always believed
in your innocence.

And given your
past experience,

I'm sure the committee
will look favorably
on your candidacy.

Well, then consider me
a candidate.

Okay.

All I'm asking for
is a little clarification.

You said take some time
to decide what I really want.

Well, it's been almost
48 hours.

That's a blink
of an eye, Matt.

Maybe for some people,

but it's been the longest
2 days of my life.

So when do I get
to tell you

what I've decided
what I want?

Look, maybe I'm the one
that needs more time.

Well, then maybe
you should take it.

Wait a minute.

Matt, it's not what
you think.

The last couple days has
been like a blur for me.

All I could think
about is you.

I care about you...

maybe more than
I've got the right to.

I just don't want
to see you get hurt.

Well, unless we're
going sky-diving
or bungee-jumping,

I don't see how a second date
is going to hurt.

Or a more committed
relationship,
for that matter.

Dr. Hathaway, please report
to the nurses' station,
third floor.

Ahem.

I gotta go.

We'll talk
about it later.

Right. Later.

[Jane]
Sydney, really, I'm not hungry.

Come on, Jane,
a night out

with your own flesh
and blood

will do you a world
of good.

Oh, I can't
handle this.

I just want to go home
and go to bed.

Come on, Jane,
it'll be fun.

Sydney,
what are you up to?

Nothing. The food
here is great.

Hey, Syd, I just
left a message
on your machine.

Hi, I'm Kyle McBride.
You are?

Her sister,
Jane Mancini.

Hi. You're the one
that had the trouble
with...

I mean...

you used to date
Jake Hanson...

or something.

Guilty as charged.

Look, I didn't mean...

Sorry, I guess I really
stepped in it, huh?

It's okay.

So no Taylor
again tonight?

I don't see her.

No, she's a no-show.

Oh, I'd be happy
to fill in,

except I was looking
forward to spending
some quality time with Jane.

Some other time?

Sure. I gotta get back
to the kitchen.

Jane, it was nice
to finally meet you.

Yeah, nice
to meet you.

Sydney, are you
a glutton for punishment?

Don't get involved with
another married man!

I'm not!

I just like being
around him.

Is that such
a bad thing?

When it comes
to you, yes.

But do what you want.
I'm going home.

Jane!

Jane, come on!

This was supposed
to be our night.

You wouldn't believe it.

They should offer
a course at Wharton--

Backstabbing 101.

That might have
prepared me for
working at D and D.

I'm sorry.
Am I boring you?

No. I like hearing
about your work.

I'm usually the one
doing all the talking.

So it's nice to sort of
listen for a change.

You're just being kind.

No, I'm not.

I just don't
have anybody

I can really
talk to about this.

It tends
to be a drag

when everyone's
gunning for me.

Well, not everybody.
Not Billy.

I know that you
and he are
just friends,

but I did take
most of his clients,

his corner office,
and now I'm seeing you.

He's not a backstabber.

No, but I think that
this thing that's happening
between you and me,

it's kind of
getting to him.

But he's an okay guy,
I guess.

Yeah. Um...

do you wanna come in?
I could make us some coffee.

Sure.

Why not?

On second thought...

I think that
this is moving

a little too fast.

Look, I'm very
attracted to you.

I can tell by
the way you reacted

that you feel
the same way.

I feel something, too,

but I just...

you know, to me,
coffee is coffee.

You know, in a cup
with enough caffeine

to keep you up
all night?

You get the idea.

Yeah.
Well, I better be going.

Gotta finish a project for
Amanda tomorrow morning.

I had a really
great time.

Honest.

I'll talk to you later.

Sure.

Yeah, I'd like
to make a collect call

to Chicago, Illinois,
to a Mr. or Mrs. Andrews

from Jane.

Thank you.

Mom, hi. Listen,

I was thinking about
coming home for
a few days.

Well, because
I miss you guys

and I'm just...

Well, I'm just not sure
who I am anymore.

[knock on door]

[Craig]
Dad?

My God, Amanda.

"Last Will and Testament...

"Craig Field,
on his 21st birthday...

controlling interest of
stock in D and D."

What are you doing
in my study?

Is this true?

Did Mother will me
all her stock in D and D?

Has it been mine
since I was 21?

Yes, but--

Why didn't you tell me?

What were
you waiting for?

You weren't ready
for that kind
of responsibility, Craig.

You're still not ready.

That's why you pitted me
against Amanda?

Everything I do,
I do for your benefit,

so you can have
the security that I never
had when I was young.

You think I feel secure?

I'm at your mercy!

You never give
me anything

unless you talk to
your accountant first,

or when you need me to do
your dirty work for you.

Well, you know what,
this time I'm taking
what I want.

That's what I'm
talking about, Craig.

You're a businessman.

You're not some
wet-behind-the-ears

Wharton
grad who resorts
to infantile griping

to get his point
across, come on.

You know what, Dad,
why don't you drop dead.

Craig, I'm not prepared
to discuss this

any further
until you calm down.

Why don't you
go to your room
and sleep it off.

You see, I own 33%
of a publicly held company.

At Wharton
they taught us
that translates

into controlling interest.

So why don't you
go back to your room.

I'm in control now.

Hey!

Come on, come on,
if I don't leave now...

Okay, so go.

All right, I'll call you
tomorrow, okay?

Okay.

[engine starts]

How was your evening?

Kimberly.

I didn't want
this to happen.

I wasn't looking
for a relationship
with Michael.

It's okay.

The truth is I don't think
I'll be able to cut it off.

I have these
feelings for him.

I said it's okay.

You can have him.

I don't understand.

I'm giving him
to you, as a present.

That's crazy.
You can't just give
your husband away.

You can if you're dying.

I only have
a few months to live.

And I want you to be there
for him after I'm gone.

Promise me
you'll be there.
