05x05 - I Want Love

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Ally McBeal.

What about you and, uh,
the one they call Glenn?

I find myself becoming
increasingly attracted

to you, which I will
certainly admit to.

But the attraction is
one of the affair variety,

which means, at the finish line,
there will be nothing but casualties.

Do you really think being
a judge is... your niche?

How hard can it be?

- You lose!
- That one's boring.

See if you can find
somebody who cares.

You're supposed to
be fair. Oh, please.

He's missing. John Cage?

He left me a note. It said
not to worry. Uh, "I'll be back."

I don't know what to think. It could
be another spa. Could be he's tired.

Or he's really gone.

Why is it that you think
that if you and I... we...

Why would it be of the
affair variety? You're a boy.

I have no doubt that...
That it would be, um, fun.

But? But-But there's Jenny.

And for me to risk hurting her,

it would have to be for a
greater emotional good.

I'm a total slut. Jenny.

God, Ally.

I don't want to end up
with Raymond Millbury.

Am I in a crisis? This
could be a really bad sign.

I mean, I want love
and everything, but...

It's possible I might be attracted
to the guys who are wrong.

Jenny, the wrong
ones can't hurt ya.

It's the right ones...

They're the K*llers.

You're angry. I'm not.

I didn't plan it. You're
mad. Raymond. I'm not.

Whenever you call me by my
name, it means you're mad. Dink.

You can hit me if you want. We did
the double date once... you and Jenny.

That was a sham.
This was a real kiss.

Don't need to
hear about it. Mad.

Raymond! Dink! See?

Hit me.

Do you like her really? I do.

Then I'm okay with it.

As long as it isn't just for a
thrill ride. It wouldn't be that.

I promise.

"E" ticket? Hit me.

I'm late for a staff meeting.
What about you and the Thin Mint?

She thinks I'm a boy.

She's not inclined to date somebody
she doesn't see a real future in.

- That bitch.
- Later.

Frances. Glenn.

I'm looking for Jenny.
She's the next office down.

How are you? I'm fine.

You look fabulous.
Oh, well, so do you.

I mean, you know...
- Mom?
- Sweetheart.

Who's dead? No one's dead.

Why are you here? Can't a mother
just come and see her daughter?

Who's dead? No one's dead.
But something has come up.

Don't you look at her.

What?

Could we just go somewhere
private? Mm-hmm. Come on.

Who-Who's... Who's
that? That's her mother.

That's Jenny's mother?

Oh.

- You're fired?
- Well...

- You said they were making you
managing partner.
- I was.

But instead, I was
invited to leave. Why?

They don't like the man
I'm involved with. What?

They feel, to be managing
partner in an investment firm,

your significant other's an
important part of the equation.

So, this man, he's significant?

Well, that's the other
part of the bombshell.

Um, I'm getting married.

Oh. Well... Oh,
that's... amazing.

You're not pleased. Is this what you
came to tell me instead of who's dead?

I came to hire this firm.

I'm told this place specializes
in sexual harassment law.

And I want to sue my
former employers. Oh.

I'm also told you have this
amazing little dwarf here called...

- the Croissant?
- The Biscuit.

And he's full size.
Will he represent me?

Well, I'm sure that he
would, but he's missing.

- How do you mean he's missing?
- Well, Ally's a good lawyer.

She's handled a lot
of sexual harassment.

Well, the thing is that
the trial starts tomorrow.

Um, uh... What?

I fired my last lawyer, and the judge is
not gonna give me another continuance.

Ally, would you
do it? Uh, w-well...

I'm sure Glenn
will second chair.

Jenny, can I steal you a second?

Uh, listen, um...

That kiss the other
night... I know. Just forget it.

Well, uh, that isn't easy
for me to do. I, um...

Raymond, you're
Glenn's best friend.

I understand. Which-Which
is an obstacle, but...

Look, I'm gonna just say this.

I'm probably not great at being
genuine, you know, since...

You've never tried it.

Great. Make it more
difficult. You want to go out.

I do. Up close,
you're... really cute.

And-And... I like you.

Can I think about it? Of course.

And if the answer's no, would you
object to me dating your mother?

She's getting married, Raymond.

Oh. Well, that's great.

One obstacle removed.

Oh! Elton John...
Elton John is in the bar,

and we're stuck up
here preparing for trial.

I heard they had Sting
down there last year.

Yeah. He sang with my boyfriend.

Your boyfriend sang with Sting?
Yeah, I-I sang with Barry Manilow.

What happened to him? Uh, I think
he's on VH1, Where Are They Now?

Not Barry. Your-Your boyfriend.

Oh, uh, broke up. Next.

Oh, are these the pleadings?

Was there a next?

Sorry? You said next.
Was there a next?

No. That-That was
just an expression.

No, I-I've been in
between relationships...

for, you know, ever.

I had a dream
about you last night.

Duh. I was there. Remember?

What? Kidding.

Did you? Yeah.
We were in a lake,

and you wanted to water-ski,
but you refused to grab the rope.

What does that mean?

It means she wants to ski,
but she's afraid to grab the rope.

- Where's my mother?
- She's not here yet.

Well, you guys ready?
Well, on one day's notice.

The case is pretty straightforward,
so we should be okay.

Oh, God. There they are.

Come on.

Let's go meet my new stepdad.

Here they are.

Tim. My daughter, Jenny.

Jenny, Ally, Glenn.

- Tim Boyle, my fiancé.
- Very pleased to meet you.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Hello.

First of all, you
need to calm down.

Second of all, we cannot
lose a trial on purpose.

She deserves to
lose. He's 22. Jenny.

He's a sex toy. What, I'm
supposed to call him Dad?

Jenny. It's gross.
It's only about sex,

about welcoming his
little thing into the very

canal where I took
my first breath of life.

Which, when I did take it, he
wasn't even alive, by the way. Jenny.

- I want you to lose the case.
- Wouldn't that be unethical?

He's a kid, Mom. Why are
you with him, for God's sake?

When I was your age, I
looked for everything in a man.

- And now, I compartmentalize.
- Oh, please.

Excuse me.

We really need to get to court.

I don't want you winning.

Can I ask you something? Uh-huh.

This seems like a very...
sexually charged office place.

Isn't it great? Well,
you might think so, but...

But what? I'm not getting any.

Neither am I.

- Do you think
that's appropriate talk?
- We're in a bathroom.

- Are you getting any?
- Please.

All I have to do is
snap my finger. Um...

My mistake.

Hello. Hello.

Oh.

Uh, Ms. Shaw?

Uh, Richard Fish. It's
nice... nice to meet you.

Though-Though I feel I already
know you, if Jenny is any indication.

She's a wonderful young woman.

It's obvious whoever raised her had
to have a marvelous set of hangers.

Uh, values. Bygones.

You know, I'd like to,
uh, share with you, uh...

Uh, if I could,
something that, uh...

Actually, uh, would you
mind stepping in here?

It's-It's a... It's a
private, uh, thought. Oh.

Yeah, just... Right. Yeah.

It won't take just a second.
You dragged me into a stall.

You cannot marry that person without
at least hearing what I have to offer.

- Yeah. Just, uh...
- Right here.

Money. There.
Uh, you've heard it.

I don't mean to suggest
love can be bought.

Where am I? Oh. You're
in my hole, Frances.

♪♪

Now, since, uh, time is of the
essence. Let me just tell you...

Can I stop you, Richard? Please.

You've bitten off more
than you can chew here.

Well, you'd be surprised.
I've chewed... a lot.

Think you could so
much as kiss me...

without ending up a
puddle on the floor?

Oh, uh, I don't
really turn to liquid.

- If anything, I become more...
- ♪ Ow, she's a brick ♪

♪ House ♪

♪
She's mighty, mighty ♪

♪ Just lettin' it all hang out ♪

I did that, not to convey
any interest on my part.

Merely to confirm... you've
bitten off more than you can chew.

- Uh...
- ♪ Ain't holdin' nothing back ♪

♪ Ow, she's a brick ♪

♪ House ♪

♪ Well, we're together
Everybody knows ♪

♪ This is how the story goes ♪♪

Look.

We're in the business of getting people to
give us their money... huge sums of money.

It is imperative that
they trust our judgment.

Hers is undermined by
her dating a 20-year-old.

Do they have to know her private
life? We work the cocktail circuit.

A lot of business comes from socializing...
parties where spouses attend.

And you don't think customers would be
comfortable with her dating a younger man?

Of course not.

How about a 50-year-old man and a
22-year-old woman? That's never happened?

I'd question his
judgment as well.

So tell me what you know
about Tim Boyle. Very little.

So it's possible that he's an intelligent,
emotionally mature young man.

- I'm sure it's possible.
- So your asking
Ms. Shaw to leave,

that decision was based solely
on... on, uh, Mr. Boyle's age.

When a 50-year-old woman presents herself
with a kid half her age, it looks bad.

And perception is part of our
business. That's just a reality.

How old are you,
Mr. Rohr? Sixty-three.

Well. Uh...

Tell me, if a... if a woman like
me were to find you attractive...

Uh, powerful, even sexy...

And a woman like
me wanted to date you,

and you went to
one of your parties...

with a woman like me, and...

Well, are you suggesting to this jury
that you should lose your job for it?

No, but... But what?

You're in your 40s.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Thank you, Mr. Rohr.
Nothing further.

It actually dulled it.

Their wax made the
color duller than before.

It's subtle, but on a bright,
sunny day, the deficit is detectable.

I am an automobile aficionado.
I have waxed many vehicles.

I know their
product is defective.

You have a lot of cars? I do.

Then why not just drive
this one on cloudy days?

Well, that's not
really the point.

Mr. Pax, I have a problem.

See these lights? This is a
television show in addition to a court.

Our cases need to be interesting.
Otherwise, people won't watch.

Here I have a boring little man with a
boring little case about defective wax.

What kind of Nielsen share
do you figure I'll pull with that?

Their product left
my automobile dull.

If the car fits, drive it.

Judgment for the defendant.

- That's a cut.
- Let's reset.

Get me water.

- I wasn't comfortable with it.
- Can you tell us why,
Mr. Furnwall?

It was a gut feeling, I admit.

But when you're about to
plunk down six million dollars...

And that's what I
was prepared to do...

You want somebody who projects
stability, caution, conservatism.

Especially in today's
volatile market.

And is it your testimony, sir,

your decision not to invest
this money with Braxton Moses,

it was predicated on Ms. Shaw
being with a 20-year-old escort?

In part, yes. Did
you know this boy?

No. And admittedly, I
probably wasn't being fair.

But again, my gut told
me... And still does...

A woman who runs
around with a kid,

she probably tilts
toward fun loving,

perhaps impulsive,
maybe even radical.

I love those
qualities in a person.

Don't get me wrong.
I'd want to date her.

But to entrust her with
managing my money,

that's, uh... That's
something different.

Thank you, sir.

Anything to cross him on?
He sounded pretty reasonable.

I'm not sure we should give him
the chance to repeat his testimony.

I agree. But it's probably not
wise to let him go uncontested.

No.

- And I was caught.
- Sounds like you caught him.

I could not move.

I was just looking
into his eyes and...

And I-I think that-that...

Oh, I need mental help.

Well, that's why you're here.

You know, since the world
changed in September, that...

I read this article that
everybody's having sex.

First dates... boom.

Friends calling other
friends... boom, boom.

There's this whole
new attitude, and-and...

It's, "Why live for
tomorrow? Why not now?"

Do you know what I'm saying?

You want some boom-boom. No! No!

I am saying that I
live for tomorrow.

My whole world is about the
future and about tomorrow.

And-And now, with this
whole new prospect...

that-that there might
not be a tomorrow...

You want boom-boom with Glenn.

Oh, could you please
take me seriously?

It's very hard to do,
Allyson. I know you.

Your world hasn't
changed one bit.

What you want is what
you've always wanted.

Which is? Love.

In this case, older-younger.

It's opened up the
same Pandora's box.

Is it possible...
Is it possible...

you could find
love with the boy?

Hey, Nelle. How's it goin'?

- What's the catch?
- Nothing.

Corretta and I are having a
little girls' night out tonight.

We thought maybe you might
want to join. Maybe Ling too.

- Please.
- Is that a no?

You want to meet men.

Men are drawn to
beautiful women.

You want to use
me for bait. Ling too.

- What time?
- 8:00 at the bar.

- Fine.
- Great.

I-I think we're gonna need you to
testify why you're drawn to Tim...

- so we can establish
that it isn't frivolous.
- And if it is frivolous?

Frances, we're doin' well so far,
so if you come off reasonably...

So. What happened?

Well, so far, so good. I think
we're winning. Hooray for justice.

- Oh, grow up.
- Me grow up?

- Yes.
- All right.

And how would I do that... Find
a guy who plays Pop Warner?

- Maybe you could fix me up?
- I raised you to be silly,
Jenny, but never rude.

Did I hurt your feelings?
Maybe Mom will

nurse you later and
make you feel all better.

All right! Cut it out.

Can I just ask you one question,
assuming you do, in fact, speak?

Why are you with a
50-year-old woman?

I mean, you're cute. You
couldn't find a younger model?

I can excite younger
women, but I can't fulfill them.

You see, younger women are
searching for men to complete their lives,

to, uh, provide the missing
pieces of contentment.

It's the older woman who realizes
that she has to find this herself...

and share it with her partner.

And it's the older woman who knows
to look for what she lacks in a partner,

rather than what
she has in common.

It's the older woman who can
appreciate that the touch of a hand...

can be just as intimate,
if not more so, than sex.

Did I mention he
graduated from Yale?

- No. Why didn't you?
- 'Cause it doesn't matter.

Even if he bags groceries,
he's the one I choose to be with.

Aren't you special. You see
yourself with him forever?

- I see myself with him now.
- Oh, then go with it, Mom.

For sure. If it feels
right today, go for it.

Better I should run because
it might not be right tomorrow?

You know, that's another thing
that I don't like about younger women.

They tend to run scared.

Uh, Frances. Uh, one second.

Um, listen, I, uh... I enjoyed
the kiss, uh, by the way.

And I'm not usually
big on samplers.

Richard, I've got to go
to court. No, I know that.

I just wanted to say, uh...

Uh, if you change your
mind, I'm the first in line.

What? I'm still free.
Take a chance on me.

If you need me... ABBA.

Sorry? You're reciting the
lyrics from an ABBA song.

I... Well... Did you
not think I'd know that?

I didn't... All right. Okay.

I'm desperate,
okay? I can see that.

Look, I-I could just
laugh, I suppose.

But... I cry... because
your-your love has passed me by.

The Guess Who. Uh...

Late for court, Richard.

Women with wattle, they...
They know all the old songs.

Oh, bugger.

What are you doing in my office?

Oh. I'm sorry. I just...

I needed a place to escape for
a second. I thought you were out.

- What's wrong?
- Nothin'.

Oh, come on, Glenn. Men like
you don't suddenly become pensive.

Something's wrong. Is it the
whitener in your toothpaste?

That's what's wrong... women.

They just see me as
this GQ model/pretty boy.

- And that's my problem, Nelle.
- I see.

And what you're really
about is world peace.

You don't know who or what I am.

Neither does Ally, does she?

Look, Glenn.

You seem like a nice
fellow. But here's a tip.

Women lose interest in Ken dolls
around the time they toss their Barbies.

You need to... mess
yourself up a little.

Sprout a pimple... anything
to reveal a hint of character.

Ally goes for damaged goods.

She's damaged goods.

Now run along. Go
make yourself interesting.

In the meantime,
stay out of my office.

Your Calvin Klein
cologne kills my plants.

They couldn't play. Not true.

- The ceremony was ruined.
- All professional musicians.

Chalk on a Blackboard
in D Minor. Wait a second.

The wedding was ruined? Totally.

- The music was so distracting.
- Not true. Professional,
musical... every one of them.

Do you have a recording
of this music? No.

Then how can I rule? I'm
telling you they were lousy.

Ma'am, I could tell people you're
ugly, but unless they see for themselves,

how would they know
I'm telling the truth?

Are you saying I'm unattractive?

I'm saying I can't take your
word. I can't take yours either.

Get these musicians in
here. I'll listen for myself.

That's a cut.

Water.

I need smarter contestants.

Ms. Shaw, let's take a look
at logic for a second. Why?

Because the defense
reasonably wants its

brokers to cast the
impression of being logical.

In their love life? Yes.

Are we presuming
that love is logical?

As flawed as that perception is.

Objection! Who-Who's testifying?

- Who's asking the questions?
- I'm asking the questions.

Which means it's up to
me to provide the answers.

Assuming, when it comes to
love, there is a right answer.

Objection!

Can we look at logic? Certainly.

Since marriage has less than a
50-50 chance of success these days...

Any decision to wed
would be a leap of faith.

Your Honor, I don't
like the rhythm here.

There should be
questions and answers.

They can't play off each
other like Penn & Teller.

I'm in the next courtroom over.
My chambers is on this side.

- We're in session here.
- Oh, get over it.

I'm a judge. I shouldn't
have to walk around.

Uh, M-Ms. Shaw,

don't-don't you see the
defendant's point of view here?

Your being with a young
kid... The perception alone.

The perception needs
adjustment, Ms. McBeal.

As you touched on yourself, the
institution of marriage is in ruins.

Over half the people
who wed end up in divorce,

in large part because they cling
to these time-honored illusions...

One, that people should
have everything in common,

and the other, that they
should be the same age.

It's one thing to
admire tradition.

It's quite another to cling to it
in the face of obvious failure,

especially where logic
is your stated goal.

I love Tim Boyle.
Am I being silly?

If so, I wouldn't be
the first fool, would I?

I mean, there are other
fools out there, bigger fools.

Maybe some even here.

Look.

It's obvious.

You'd like to date Glenn, but you feel, for
some reason, that he's not right for you.

Well, he's too young. And
plus... Ally, you're young.

Thirty-two is young.
"One." Thirty-one.

The only way that
32... Or 31... is old...

would be in relative terms.

What do you mean?

Well, I mean, 31 would
seem old for someone...

who's only had two
serious relationships.

In her whole life... two.

Whatever you're doing,

your romantic triage system
has to be a little too discriminating.

I have a pretty good idea when
somebody's not right for me, Elaine.

With all due
respect, no, you don't.

You're clueless. You
thought Larry was right.

And if you still think that the
Larrys of this world are right...

I maintain... you're clueless.

That image simply is
not commensurate...

with the one my client's
firm wants to project.

You heard Mr. Furnwall and other
potential customers who testified.

They were afraid to
trust her with their money.

And you heard Mr. Furnwall
admit that it probably wasn't fair.

Now, there's been no evidence
that Ms. Shaw didn't do her job well.

And they say that they're not
trying to tell her who she can love.

They just fire her for
making the wrong choice.

Well, call me crazy.

But if you truly,
deeply love somebody,

then how can it
be a wrong choice?

Uh, lo-love is the
grandest of choices.

You, uh... Um...

In this movie, Guess
Who's Coming To Dinner,

Spencer Tracy didn't want his
daughter to marry Sidney Poitier...

because of the color barrier...

Until he realized the
power of their feelings.

And he said... He said, uh,

"If what they feel is a
fraction of what I felt...

and still feel for Christina"...

That was Katherine
Hepburn, by the way...

"then the only thing more
foolish than their getting married...

would be if they
didn't get married."

Uh, I don't really
know Timothy Boyle,

but I do know something
about relationships.

And if Mr. Boyle is a
good man who's kind...

If he makes her laugh,
if she's attracted to him...

Then why shouldn't
she be with him?

I mean, so what
that he's younger?

That... Is that a-a reason to...

Ms. McBeal?

Uh... Uh, y-yes.

Yes, uh, you know, even
when love comes along,

there-there's no
guarantee that-that he... it...

is gonna stay forever.

It's... Ms. McBeal,
are you all right?

Yes. Um, I'm fine. I just...

It was an unusual summation,
but the jury seemed to embrace it.

I did.

Mom.

Jenny. Have you been crying?

Oh, you know... Guess
Who's Coming To Dinner.

It always got you. Yeah.

- Listen, if you love this boy...
- He actually is a man.

Yeah.

If you love him,
I'm happy for you.

Really? Yeah.

I mean, it might be a little
hard to call him Dad, but...

I'd love to be your
maid of honor.

Whatever the jury finds,
it seems that I've won.

- This was a good gig.
- Jenny.

Members of the jury,
you've reached a verdict?

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

We find in favor
of the plaintiff...

and order the defendant
to write a blank check.

You can't order that.

In the alternative, we
order the defendant...

to pay the plaintiff $620,000.

Members of the jury, this
concludes your service.

We're adjourned.

Elton, you're the man! Whoo!

Um, you left Elton John.

Oh. Yeah, well, I'm
gonna go back down.

Ah.

- Uh, you?
- Ah, about to, yeah.

Hey, so congratulations. That
was... I mean, you tried a great case.

Thank you.

So, um...

You know, you-you never
answered my question.

Technically, I did ask
you out, and, technically,

you never answered.

Glenn, um,

You know, the fact
that I'm a... I'm a...

A little older and
perhaps wiser about this...

Just because you're older, that
makes you... Well, and I'm a woman.

And women are smarter than men
about love. Always. No exceptions.

Okay then. Give me your wisdom.

Well, if we were to go out, uh,
either of two things could happen.

It wouldn't work out, and that would be
very awkward because we work together.

Or it would work out, and-and
that would be a-a disaster.

Why? Did you ever consider
that if we were to go out...

and we started seeing each
other over and over and over again,

that we would start
spending the night together?

Never occurred to me, but
the danger of that would be?

Well, it could get
serious. And then?

We could even fall
in love. And then?

And I'd get crushed. Why?

Because that's what happens.

So it's all about fear?

No.

No. No, I'm not... I'm
not... I'm not afraid.

I'm just, uh...
I'm-I'm... I'm practical.

I made a promise to
myself that when I die,

um, it'll be written
on my tombstone:

"She was practical."

Got it.

Well, I'll see you
downstairs then, I guess.

Uh, yep, yep. See ya down there.
