03x09 - Engagements

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Cedar Cove...

Linnette: We should stay away from Gloria.

He thinks that she's stolen someone's identity.

I'm staying in Cedar Cove.

Well, the job is here, in Seattle.

[slams]

You are on probation.

If this case is not handled properly, you will be out of a job.

She didn't come to work?

Nope.

The sheriff said that because she's an adult, there's nothing they can do for 24 hours.

What if she was kidnapped or swept away in a flood?

It's not raining out.

Well, you're not ruling out kidnapping.

Rebecca!

Where were you?

You disappeared, and you didn't show up for work.

Paul was looking for you. He called.

Several times.

Yeah...

I know.

I missed two appearances.

I'm b*at.

No.

Explanation. Now.

Last night, I pulled an all-nighter at work, and this morning, I had to drive all the way to Brower County to file a motion to avoid a statute of limitations.

On my way back, I was feeling tired, so I pulled off to the side of the road, and I closed my eyes for a second.

I just woke up an hour ago.

My phone was dead, and I had no charger.

So, can I go now?

You're working too much.

And too hard.

Yeah, well, you can say, "I told you so," but I'm going to go to bed.

Excuse me.

David won't budge on your working full time in Seattle?

Not in the first year, no.

He's a hands-on manager who apparently likes to pop into the staff's office for brainstorming sessions, so...

It's a great job.

You're more important. We're more important.

You can't turn the job down just because it's going to be hard for us to spend time together.

We'll have weekends.

Yeah... until you have to prep for a big court case, or I have a looming deadline.

I have to ask you one more time... are you absolutely sure, you support me taking this job?

Olivia?

Yes, Jack.

Of course I support you taking this job.

[knocking]

Thought I'd save your clerk the trip.

Thanks.

Any word from Rebecca?

Ah, yes, finally.

What happened to her?

She didn't say.

Well, that's not good.

[phone vibrates]

No. No, it's... not.

Alex.

Oh!

I take it things went well.

The game was great.

And the company?

She's, uh... affable.

Affable?

How romantic.

That's me.

You went to a baseball game with Alex, and all you have to say is she's affable?

Could... could we not talk about this?

Okay.

I should get ready for court.

Roy: You seem off.

What's up, honey?

We waited too long to get back to the adoption agency.

Yes, but we did write back.

Today's her birthday.

I know. I remember.

She'd be 28.

Look, Corrie... we wrote them.

The agency wrote our daughter, but then she didn't write them back.

They said it's normal, that sometimes, people make an inquiry, but then they change their mind about making contact.

I know it sounds crazy, but I just thought this birthday, I'd spend it with her, or at least talk to her.

You could find her.

But she doesn't want to be found.

That's clear, or she would have reached back.

Neither one of us feel good about this situation, but if she wants to be left alone, we should do that, no matter how difficult that is.

When she's ready, all she has to do is contact the agency.

Okay?

Buck: I've gone over the proposal.

Take a second look at the numbers.

We're missing something here, and I'm going to assume, since you barged into my office without knocking, that you're having a medical emergency.

[laughs]

Uh, no.

Fire drill?

Giving notice?

You two having fun?

Mm-hmm.

Or maybe you've come to your senses, and you're ready to sign over your half of Charlotte's house.

No, Dad, that's not the reason I'm here.

I'm here because I want to talk to you about a deal.

E-mail me the specs.

Unfortunately, I can't do that.

There's a deadline.

And since I can no longer pull the trigger on a deal by myself...

Leave the proposal on my desk.

I'll have a look at it when I get back.

Thanks.

Okay, what are you up to?

What do you mean? Who says I'm up to anything?

You were practically civil.

You know, Alex, this is very sad.

Oh, you're so jaded for such a young person.

You don't have to say any more.

If you want me to move out, fine.

Message received.

I just want you to take responsibility for yourself.

I do.

You don't!

I want things to be better with us.

You're my sister.

If you're serious about us having a real relationship...

I am.

Okay, clean slate, fresh start.

Stay as long as you need to.

Just wear pants.

One time!

Seeing my brother at 6:00 in the morning in his boxers is one time too many.

Got it. Pants.

Is Rebecca okay?

Yeah, I think.

Are we okay?

Still just trying to wrap my head around this.

You really don't want to have children?

It just seems so extreme.

I'm not going to change my mind.

How do you know?

Matt and Missy are struggling.

Yeah...

Part of that struggle is because Missy wants things from Matt that he can't give her.

So you don't even want to get married?

Marriage, yes... maybe.

But kids? No.

I'm not a white picket fence guy.

I love you, but I'm never going to be that guy driving around in a minivan.

Sorry.

[quiet conversation]

Okay, what's wrong?

Court?

Justine?

Will?

Ah, going to ask you that one again.

Is it Will?

You know it's Jack.

I do, I just thought it would be easier if you didn't know that I knew it was Jack.

His job in Seattle requires him to be in Seattle.

He'll have to commute.

Well, but... then you two won't see each other much.

I know.

But if you lived together...

It may be the only way we get to see each other during the week.

Well, has he asked you again?

No.

But even if he had, I don't think that convenience should be the main reason for living together.

Well, you and Jack have been through tougher things than a long-distance relationship.

Have faith... It's all going to work out.

So...

Maryellen and I are almost finished planning your shower.

[gasps]

Ooh! I want all the details right now!

So, um... where? When? Theme? Food? Game?

You really want to know?

I do, I do, I do.

No.

It's supposed to be a surprise.

Right.

But I do have to call Moon's.

Moon's?

This is not a Super Bowl party. This is a shower.

This is my shower.

That was a test. And you failed.

Of course I'm not going to have it at Moon's.

But come on, Grace.

Just relax.

Let me and Maryellen surprise you for once.

You are so right.

As of right now.

This is the new easy-peasy Grace.

I'm just going to sit back and enjoy my party.

That wouldn't be a new leaf.

That would be a whole new tree.

Oh, you just wait and see.

You're the one who's going to be surprised.

Mm.

Easy peasy.

Miss Jennings...

Welcome back.

I think we need to talk.

End of the day.

Linnette.

Hey.

I have to go.

Rebecca's lying about me.

My driver's license.

Oh...

Rebecca totally has it out for me.

I don't know why. I haven't done anything.

Let me explain... please.

I really have to go...

I just want to be your friend.

Okay.

My car's over there. I could give you a ride.

I really have to go. I'm late.

So I see you're seeking a permanent order of protection against your husband.

Yes, your honor.

And a temporary order was issued two weeks ago, ex-parte... without any input from your husband.

And this hearing today is your husband's opportunity to offer any testimony or evidence against your request... but I do not see him.

No, your honor.

And was he served papers?

Yes.

And he was aware of the court date?

Yes.

But he... chose not to show?

I haven't spoken to him since the... incident.

I've been staying with my parents.

Why don't you tell me what happened?

A couple weeks ago, Tom, my husband, we... we had a fight.

It was silly, something about work or my job, and... things got out of hand.

He pushed me. I fell.

I had to go to the emergency room.

I sprained my wrist.

I didn't know what to do, and my parents helped me file that paperwork to protect me.

Well... seeing that your husband has chosen not to appear, I have no choice but to...

[door opens]

Wait!

You do not rush into my court and tell me to wait.

I'm sorry.

You are in contempt of this court, of this proceeding, and me.

Please, let me explain... I'm Lisa's husband.

I know who you are.

We will take a short recess.

[bangs gavel]

Jack.

David.

First day.

That it is.

I was on my way up to see you.

That's funny, I was just coming by to see you.

Fortuitous.

It would appear so.

What do you think of Eddie Wilson?

Uh... he's young, but eager.

He's a pretty good writer.

I think he'd make a great number two.

For me?

Well, your old position is open now.

Yeah, but I kind of figured I'd find my own number two.

Ah, you're going to love Eddie.

Uh, okay. Sure.

I'll talk with him.

Good.

Now, what did you need from me?

Holt Prison has had a number of recent prison breaks this past year, and I think that their security, or lack thereof, needs to be looked at.

I have one of their prison guards willing to talk to me off the record, but even better than that, I have one of the inmates who escaped early this year also willing to talk.

I like it.

Yeah? Great!

All right, I've got a meeting set up for tomorrow.

Give the information to Eddie.

What?

I want Eddie to take this and run with it.

No, no, no, no. No.

No?

No?

David, I'm in charge of the whole paper.

I assign the stories.

Now, look, this guard and inmate, they're not going to talk to somebody they've never met before.

It's not just about reporting anymore for you.

Now it's about the bottom line... sales, numbers, meeting projections.

Listen, David, I have spent months setting up this story.

You need to focus on getting up to speed.

You need to be looking at the bigger picture.

Your wife is seeking an order of protection, and you admit to pushing her.

This seems pretty cut and dry.

I pushed her in self-defense.

E-Excuse me?

We both have tempers.

We do.

She said some things, I said some things.

I should have just walked away, but I didn't, and now I'm here, and I want my wife back.

The question is not whether you get your wife back or not.

The question is whether your wife needs a protective order from the court to guarantee her safety and well-being.

She doesn't.

I swear.

We took vows... for better or worse.

This is worse... but I am totally committed to making our marriage work.

I love my wife.

I miss her.

I want her back.

Alex: Okay.

What game are you running?

What do you mean?

I mean the deal that you want Buck to go in on with you.

Alex, come on, it's a great deal.

For Saget... not for you.

Really?

Oh, please.

You know as well as I do that the deal indemnifies the Saget company for any possible legal action, but not you, since you'll be investing as an individual.

There's no mention of individual indemnification.

But Buck and the company would be protected.

There is no way that you would expose yourself like this.

This is clearly a fake deal and a scam.

Now, do you want to tell Buck, or should I?

Sorry.

I'm sorry, I... [clears throat] Um...

Okay, you got me. All right? It's a test.

A test?

Yes. I'm so sick and tired of listening to Buck always insist that he has my best interests at heart.

So when he takes this deal, I will be proven right.

And what do you get out of being proven right?

A bad deal and the knowledge that your father will sell you out for money?

Uh, yeah, hello. That's the point.

Okay.

You two take dysfunctional to the next level.

But we're Sagets! It's what we do.

We pride ourselves on not being average.

You should be really proud, because you two really excel at dysfunction.

Thank you.

It's not a compliment.

Peace offering.

You didn't do anything that requires a peace offering.

But I'll take the latte.

And the company.

I think I owe you an apology, although I don't know what I did.

You touched a nerve.

A nerve?

Yeah. A pretty raw one.

Did things not go well with Alex?

No, no, they went well.

And I could have handled that.

Uh, she asked me out.

This time, it's a date. She made that clear.

Straightforward.

Yep.

Too much so?

Uh, no.

No, I like people who say what they mean, mean what they say.

I'm just not even ready for the idea of this.

Dating. Relationships.

Marriage. Another divorce.

Wow.

In the span of 10 seconds, you just got a divorce from someone you haven't even dated yet.

[they laugh]

Okay.

I get it.

Divorce... Been there.

Not sure you want to jump back in.

My divorce... crushed me.

That's what divorces do in the beginning.

Yeah, but I didn't want my marriage to end.

I mean, sometimes, marriages are hard work.

Right? You don't give up.

You don't quit. You don't walk away.

And that's what she did.

It crushed me.

We took vows.

We had a contract, and she... broke it.

There is life after divorce.

I will never go down that road again.

You're never going to fall in love again?

Correct.

Impossible.

Possible.

Not unless you close your heart off.

Already done.

It's not worth it.

It's the only thing that is worth it.

You just haven't met the right person yet.

No... see, I did.

And it didn't work out.

I have to accept that.

You just got divorced.

You may change your mind.

Not everyone gets to have love in their life.

Not everyone gets to have a partner.

That's okay.

Thanks for the latte.

[sighs]

I couldn't resist.

Ooh!

Stamps.

Yeah!

Stamps?

For the shower invitations.

I sent them digitally.

Oh.

What?

It's just that people like paper invitations.

The card stock, the teeny pieces of tissue paper, an envelope, a stamp...

You can't very well press e-mails into a scrapbook, now, can you?

Everyone does everything online.

Yeah, well, that depends on the person, I guess.

Personal preference.

Uh-huh.

But I'm sure your way is good too.

Do you want me to send out paper invitations?

No, no, honey, you have too much to do already.

I'll do it.

Mom...

Don't worry about it.

You just have to e-mail me the guest list, and I will take care of it.

The shower is the day after tomorrow.

I will do up an invitation that people can remember my shower by.

Mom...

Olivia and I are supposed to be doing everything for you, remember.

It is one little thing.

You don't even need to tell Olivia.

Really... don't tell Olivia, okay?

But...

Because it's one little thing.

It's one little thing. It's so easy, breezy...

Hey, sis.

Hi.

What's wrong?

I have a slight problem.

Oh...

My car!

Yeah, that's the problem.

It's really just a little fender bender.

Why didn't you bend your own fender?

I was out of gas.

How did you get my keys?

You left them on the counter.

It was good that you rode your bike.

You didn't even call me!

I was just running to the store.

I wasn't driving cross country.

I'm going to get your car fixed.

And what about the fender that bent my fender?

Hardly a scratch.

It's all good.

Really?

Yup.

And I'm going to take your car into the shop, and I'm going to pay for everything.

And I'm even going to get you a rental car.

Okay.

Okay?

Just fix it.

[sighs]

You had everyone worried.

I filed the motion, didn't I?

Yeah.

But you missed a separate filing and two appearances.

It won't happen again.

No.

It won't.

I'm sorry, are you f*ring me?

Suspending.

You need a break, and I'm not sure if that break needs to be permanent.

I need this job.

You need to wake up and look around.

I'm awake.

No, you're not.

You're sleepwalking through this job because you're so concentrated on mine.

Huh?

I have sat where you sit, and I think we both share a strong drive and a career ambition, but in order to one day do my job, you have to first do yours.

I am the best A.D.A. you have.

I am the hardest working A.D.A. you have.

Yes... to both of those things.

And I'm a damn good attorney.

You are a liability.

So... you're suspending me because I work too hard?

That is one way of looking at it.

But it is the wrong way.

Please just... call me when it's ready.

Thanks.

[knocks on door] Hey.

How was Seattle, Chief Editor Jack Griffith?

Well, uh...

David doesn't really want me to be a reporter anymore.

He wants me to focus more on the nuts and bolts of the job.

But...

You know what? I can do both.

David doesn't know how fast and how hard that I work.

I can still run that paper and be a reporter.

I mean, that... that prison story... that story is mine.

If you have a story to tell, tell it.

You so believe in me, don't you?

Always.

And you can be very persuasive when you want to be.

Ah...

Mm. How's that?

Oh... persuaded.

Just... do what you know is right.

Run the paper.

I'm getting freaked out.

Well, just stay away from her.

We're neighbors.

Your mother wants you to move back home.

No.

I... I like my place and my roommates.

Okay.

Well, can you just keep your distance from her until I get some more information?

Okay, Dad.

Love you.

Love you too.

I'll see you later.

Okay.

Tough day?

Tough case.

That you cannot talk about?

Correct.

Okay.

So we will not talk about the case.

And we won't talk about Rebecca.

Why not?

Because I think you're making a mistake, and it's none of my business how you run your office.

Fair enough.

I heard Jack got a big job in Seattle.

He did.

Can we talk about that?

Do you want to talk about that?

Did you and your wife live together before you got married?

No.

I'm an old-fashioned guy.

You never cease to surprise me.

Did Jack ask you to move in with him?

He did... a while back.

But you didn't?

Maybe you're an old-fashioned girl.

It's more complicated than that.

He was lying to me... for a while, as it turns out.

I was devastated.

I... almost ended the relationship.

But people that love us can hurt us, and we can come back from that.

How did we stop talking about you and start talking about me?

And can we go back to talking about you?

Why don't we just sit here and not talk?

Sold.

This is nice.

You're still talking.

I'm stopping.

Still talking.

Sorry, I'm not interested.

Really?

Yes.

Are you sure?

Yep.

And I know you're not going to listen to me, but I don't think you should be interested either.

He didn't take the deal.

Did you warn him?

You two and this range w*r thing you've got going on...

I want no part of.

I didn't warn him or talk to him.

[laughs]

Oh... He's playing me.

Or maybe he really cares, which I think he does.

Okay, this whole mixed-up plan of yours was a test to see if Buck cares about you more than the company.

He just gave up a no-brainer, easy-money deal.

Warren... you've got the results from your test.

You just don't like them.

Alex, what you're not understanding is, he knows I'm playing him, so he's playing me, and you know what?

I'm going to play him right back.

And what would you like this cake to say?

Um...

[whispering] "Grace... wishing you a marriage showered in love."

Are you planning your own wedding shower?

No!

I'm just, you know, helping out here and there.

Yeah, which includes this cake, and light hors d'oeuvres, cookie favors, dessert trays times two...

Don't forget the fruit bouquet.

And the fruit bouquet. How could I forget?

Sounds to me like you are planning this shower.

No, I'm not, I am simply filling in the holes.

You just can't help yourself, can you?

I've known you for a long time.

There's one thing you cannot stand.

It is suspense.

Okay, that is so not true.

I quite like a good gotcha.

You make me e-mail the daily specials to you the night before.

I thought you sent that e-mail out to everybody.

Just to you.

Right...

Oh! Okay.

So please remember... do not tell anybody that I was here.

Especially anyone named Olivia?

Exactly. So you got it?

Got what?

You're not here.

[slams book]

[chuckles]

What?

Why aren't you at work?

I'm not in the mood.

You can't treat us this way.

It's not right.

We care about you.

We're just trying to help you.

Rebecca, what is going on?

You're dropping your protection order?

I just want to get this over with.

I miss Tom. I miss being with him.

I just want to get my life back.

He apologized. He won't do it again.

He even said he would go to counseling.

But if it's not mandatory...

I trust him.

But I think this is best.

Lisa...

I can help you.

That's not necessary... but thank you.

[door opens]

Thank you.

David. Hi.

Jack.

Here, let's have a seat.

You, ah, read my piece on Holt Prison?

Look... as Chief Editor, I made a decision that falls within the parameters of my job.

And now we have a problem.

A big one.

I told you I didn't want you to write it.

You were wrong.

Oh, was I?

Yes.

I was the right person to write that story.

Look, just tell me, what did you think of it?

It was good.

It was great.

One of your best.

So, what's the problem?

You undermining me... it sets the wrong tone for everyone else.

David, you're undermining me.

Excuse me?

When I took this position, I was promised that I could write the stories that matter to me... and run the paper my way.

It seems we're at an impasse.

I'm not.

You are.

She just took over my last responsibility.

What was that?

Games.

I didn't think we were having any games?

Not anymore.

Oh.

Moon: Hey, ladies.

How's that shower going?

How do you know about the shower?

Uh...

Moon...

I don't know anything... and Grace wasn't here, I swear.

Oh, and here I am, lying to a judge.

That's never a-a good idea, is it?

Oh... someone's calling me.

[chuckles awkwardly]

Mom... [gasps]

Can you believe her?

Grace hates not knowing how things are gonna turn out.

Always has.

When she was eight, she planned her own surprise party.

Really?

I can't picture her as a little kid.

She was the same, just smaller.

She's already pretty tiny.

Tiny, but a force of nature.

Mm-hmm.

The party won't have anything she hasn't already seen, and that's so wrong.

Hmm...

We'll see about that.

Okay, so I'll make the deposit.

Here.

What's this?

Well, have your lawyers look it over, Dad.

It's my proposal for Charlotte's house.

Really.

Don't get too excited.

You're not going to get off cheap or anything, but I'm sure we can work out a deal.

Hmm.

Nice to see you come around, son.

Dad.

Wow.

I don't believe it.

What?

You're finally going to end this w*r with your father.

What makes you say that?

You're going to sell him the house.

Who said?

You just did.

Oh, right, well, okay... it's obvious you're clearly a rookie, Alex.

I have no intention of selling any of my shares of Charlotte's house.

You see, what I am going to do is make sure that Buck thinks he's getting his way, and then when he lets his guard down... Bam!

That's when I'm going in for the k*ll.

Warren, what do you want?

What I want, Alex, is control of my company back.

Not to mention I'd like my father on the first boat out of Cedar Cove.

And I want Charlotte's house.

'Cause you see, I'm a simple man with simple desires.

Unbelievable.

[crashes]

Lisa!

Judge Lockhart!

Let me help you.

But I don't need your help.

You're making a mistake.

I have to go.

Hey.

Hi.

She looks familiar, no?

Really?

I guess not.

You walking back to work?

Yes, and I'm going to be doing a lot more walking because Will wrecked my car.

Ahh... Ouch.

Yeah. It's classic Will.

Did the same thing in high school, except that back then, he said a large dog hit the car.

A dog hit your car? Was that dog Thor?

[they laugh]

Oh, that's great! Thank you.

That's the best laugh I had all day.

Good.

So, what did you decide?

Decide?

About Alex?

Oh, oh, the e-mail.

Um... I haven't.

Well, what are you waiting on?

I don't think she's waiting by her computer.

Well, maybe she's not sitting beside the computer, but she put herself out there, and she took a chance.

You seem to have a vested interest in me returning this e-mail.

Well, you're avoiding her, and that's not like you.

Well, why do you care so much?

Honestly?

Yeah. I love honesty.

Because I hate to see you shut your heart off and spend the rest of your life alone just because you got hurt.

And... you're my friend, and I care about you.

That's nice... that you care.

And the friend thing. That's nice.

[phone rings]

Oh, sorry.

Hello.

Yes, this is Olivia Lockhart.

Excuse me, could you say that again, please?

Will!

Really?

You didn't think I would find out?

The people that you hit called me.

They did?

Surprised?

Yeah... I left them my name and number.

Left them?

You told me you spoke to them.

No, I said I left a note.

No, you didn't.

What did they say?

They said that you left the scene of the accident, and they tracked me down by my license plate.

There was no one in that car when I hit it.

Not according to this woman.

She and her husband were sitting in the car when you rear-ended them in the parking lot.

They are lying.

Well, we're never going to be able to prove it because you left the scene without filing a report with the police or the insurance company.

What's the problem?

It's my responsibility.

I'll take care of it.

But you didn't take care of it, and now I have to because they're coming after me.

Hi.

Hi.

Okay, I just want to understand.

Can you tell me why no kids?

Because you would make such a good dad.

The world isn't like Cedar Cove.

This place is the exception, not the rule.

Where is this coming from?

I've seen some terrible things, and I don't want to bring another person into a world with wars.

Right now...

I think it's too soon for us to worry about whether or not we have a family.

Yeah, but the future that you want?

I don't think I can give you that.

I'm okay with that... for now.

Why?

Because I think I love you.

♪ Oh why, oh why ♪
♪ Why can't this love I know comes from within... ♪

[♪♪]

♪ ...It can't be this way for long ♪
♪ Oh no ♪
♪ It won't be this way for long ♪
♪ No, it won't be this way for long ♪
♪ No ♪
♪ Only the trees heard us... ♪
♪ You told me that you loved me ♪

Now for my gift.

Oh, please tell me it's not another waffle iron.

It's not a waffle iron.

♪ Dance with me under the stars ♪

Cliff is on a boat?

He doesn't know how to drive a boat.

He has a captain.

And a romantic dinner for two, and the sunset is not optional.

Oh...

Grace, you planned your whole shower.

I wanted to make sure that you had a surprise.

I am surprised.

Are you happy?

Yeah.

I'm getting married!

[giggles]

Hi, honey!

Hi!

Oh, thank you.

What's this?

One is my resignation.

And the other?

A story pitch.

Working at this paper has been a gift, and I will spend every waking minute making sure that it thrives under my leadership.

I love what I do, and I am lucky to be able to do it, and I swear to you, I won't let you down.

But?

But...

I have be able to write, and I decide who writes what.

And if I say no?

Then you'll be making a mistake.

I have been waiting my entire career.

For a break like this, and I'm not going to let either one of us down.

I'll surprise you. You'll see.

So... what do you say?

Which piece of paper do you want to see?

My resignation, or my story?

I don't give second chances.

You won't have to.

Thanks for coming.

We need to talk.

You need to leave my daughter alone.

You've got her scared half to death.

All I did was talk to her.

If you don't back off, I'll get a protective order from the court to make sure you back off.

Now, you should know, I'll stop at nothing to protect my family.

Now, I am serious. Whoever you are... stay away from my daughter.

'Cause if you push me, you're not gonna like what happens.

I'm not afraid of you.

If you leave Cedar Cove, whomever or whatever you're running from...

I won't give it a second thought, but if you stay...

Don't thr*aten me.

You have no proof and no right, Roy Mcafee.

I'd be less worried about me and more worried about you.

I know you, and I know what you did.

Jack: I'm late.

You called.

And you texted!

And you called again.

I did.

Aw... your article was beautiful.

Aw.

What did David think?

The same.

I can continue to write the stories I want, I can do the reporting I want...

I just have to keep up with everything else, which is going to... keep me in Seattle more.

Oh.

Yeah.

You know, we're just getting to a good place, and now I have this job which is going to keep me away from here... and you... more than I'd like.

I have a solution.

Okay...

Let's move in together.

What?

I've been thinking about it a lot, and...

I really want to.

What changed your mind?

I love you.

And I want us to have a fighting chance, and that means we have got to spend time together.

You don't have to do this.

I know I don't have to.

I want to.

So...

Hmm.

Your place or mine?

Mine.

Really?

Jack... yeah.

I mean, I know you've got the beautiful ocean view, but, you know, where am I going to put my big-screen TV?

I mean, do you even have a sports package?

[as she laughs] Cable is very important to a man.

I'm just saying that.
