05x12 - Quest for Mother

[bunniefuu]

Kimberly: The divorce
is all I want.

You can keep your assets

and you can forget alimony.

Now hold on a minute.

Kimberly, this is a
settlement negotiation.

Then consider it settled.

There's a community
property issue.

That's a joke, I don't own
anything but debt,

and she's welcome to that.

And the deed to the beach house?

Two mortgages and a lien on it.

Michael's on the verge
of bankruptcy.

What do you mean bankruptcy?

I'm broke, babe.

You can't be.
You have investments,

You have a thriving
medical practice!

I've had a bad year, okay?

What do you care?
You're leaving me.

There's nothing more to
talk about, Michael.

I've got my life.
You've got yours.

You've obviously become
fixated on this woman.

Okay, yes, I have deep,
complex feelings for Megan,

but I still love you, Kimberly,

and love is not like a faucet I
can turn on and off at will.

Spare me your plumbing problems.

Look, let's just try
to work this out, okay?

We've been through
way worse than this.

You've cheated on me
for the last time, Michael.

Then why are you being so
damn nice in the settlement?

Because alimony would just keep
reminding me that you still exist,

and as far as I'm concerned,
you're a bad memory.

Come on, Kimberly. Please.

Go on.

This is your life now.

Hey. I love you.

I love you, too.

♪ Baby, don't you know this
ain't no sweet life, honey ♪

♪ No-o-o-o ♪

♪ Baby, nobody said it was
a bed of roses ♪

♪ No-o-o ♪

♪ Baby, there's no promises
of love, oh, honey ♪

♪ No-o-o-o ♪

♪ This is not love ♪

♪ Baby, don't you know this
ain't no sweet life, honey ♪

♪ No-o-o-o ♪

♪ Baby, nobody said it was
a bed of roses ♪

♪ No-o-o-o ♪

♪ This is not love ♪

I'll get it.

Hello.

Yeah, this is Dr. Burns.

Oh, I... I see.

No, no. No, I understand.

Of course.

Right. Thank you.

Bad news?

That was Dr. Shulman. I didn't
get the chief of staff job.

What?

Those jerks!

What's a little
misstep in surgery

have to do with being
a good administrator?

It wasn't a misstep, Amanda.

I froze.

So you froze.
You'll get over it.

You don't get it, do you?

I trained for 15 years
to become a surgeon.

It's what I do.

And when I can't do it,
it's a very big deal.

It sort of affects my life!

And no one is gonna make
me administrative chief

if I can't cut it in
the operating room, okay?

Aw, forget it, huh?

Who wants to be
a paper pusher, anyway?

So, uh... what are you gonna do?

I'm going golfing.

Figure I oughta give myself
a little free time.

All things considered, isn't
that a little frivolous?

It's therapeutic, actually.

If someone were to come into
my office with my problems,

this is exactly
what I would prescribe.

Well, I've always heard that
a doctor who treats himself

has a fool for a patient.

Well... well, thanks
for all the support.

Hey! You'll be happy to know

that our friendship has my
husband's full consent.

Well, your husband
threatened to clean my clock

if I looked at you
the wrong way,

so, if you don't mind
I'd like to keep my distance.

Oh, forget Kyle. This is about
you and me being friends.

Right now I'd like
to be my own friend,

if you don't mind?

I hear, you I know you've
been through a lot lately.

And I don't want to add
to your pressures.

I just... you know. If you
want a friend, call me.

Okay, well, I might
take you up on that,

but right now I need
to knock some dimples

off a few golf balls.

What are you doing here?

Trying to see if I'm
sweating out the lawsuit?

Just teaching you
a business lesson, son.

In a high-stake game,
don't trust anybody,

especially anybody close.

When you learn that, maybe
I'll let you run the company.

You can't stop me
from running the company,

but you are going to
stop from suing me.

Why would I do that?

I guess you forgot.
I've got something on you.

What are you
talking about, Craig?

Just a little episode
of our family history.

You're in that as deep as I am.

I don't think so.

See, I was just
a little kid back then.

So if I go to the police, you'll
end up doing some serious time.

I'll walk.

If you bring me down,

you will lose everything here.

It'll all collapse.

I'll take that chance.

That was our secret, son.

We shared that together.

What are you gonna do,

throw all that away
for a fast DD takeover?

Come on.

Fast?

I've been waiting my whole life

for the right moment
to use this against you.

You know what it's been like

living under your thumb
all these years,

having to smile at
your little humiliations,

watching you destroy anyone
that ever got close to you?

What? Did you think I'd forget
what you did and just let it lie?

I'd love to tell the
whole world about it.

You wouldn't dare.
Call my bluff.

Mr. Field.

You okay?

I'm better than that.

I'm in control,
and I run my own company.

And at the end of the day,

I got a great girlfriend
who's waiting for me.

Life's good.

Girlfriend. You mean Sam?

Yeah, Billy. Who else?

I even got her
a place to paint in,

a little loft downtown,

and, man, talk about grateful.

Like father, like son.

I'm looking for Mr. Curtis.

Oh, right over there.

Uh, Mr. Curtis.

I'm Joe Curtis.

What can I do
for you, young lady?

I located you
through the academy.

You produced the movie
Troubled Hearts.

Don't tell me you're doing a
documentary on unsung classics.

No. Actually, no.

I'm... I'm looking for
this woman.

Do you recognize her?

Oh, Sherri Doucette.
She was the bad luck friend.

She d*ed in the second reel.

What do you want her for?

Is she in trouble?

No, no. She's...

She's my mother.

Oh, is that right? I... I
didn't know she had any kids.

Well, she gave me up
for adoption.

And you wanna meet her now.

Hey...

that's a great story,

if it's got a good ending.

Do you know where she is?

Well, I... I could make
some phone calls.

I might track her down.

I would really appreciate it.

You've got her bone structure.

She had great bone structure.

Well, um...

here's my number.

Please, let me know
if you find her.

Hey, if it works out,

I get the film rights.

You got a deal. Bye.

I already have a short-term
life insurance policy.

Whole life is the way to go.

It's a much better investment.

I don't need any investments.

What about accidental death?

I do a lot of traveling.

Sorry. I didn't think
you'd be here now.

Uh, listen, Tom, thanks for
running those numbers.

I will get back to you as
soon as I've gone over them.

No, uh... something's come up.

Okay, Tom. Good-bye.

What are you doing here?

I came to get
the rest of my things.

Well, get them and get out.

I'm sure Megan is panting
for your return.

Well, actually, I'm not
going back to her house.

I'm staying with Matt
for a while.

After all this, and you're not
moving in with your tramp.

Michael, you're gonna screw up
your chance with her

just like you have with
all your other relationships.

You know, when I lived here, you
couldn't even stand for me to touch you.

And now you're worried that
I'm gonna blow it with Megan.

What are you,
guilty about something?

Or maybe you're having
an affair is that it?

Don't be ridiculous.

Then who's this Tom guy you got
off the phone so fast with?

Nobody! He was just...

It was business.

Well. Okay, fine, you take
care of your business,

and I'll take care of mine.

I'm just gonna
get my clothes later.

Hey, Alison, you got a second?

Yeah.

Um... I've been really
pressed for time lately,

with school, and, well,
Dan and everything.

Things getting serious
with you guys?

Yeah. He can be kind of
smothering sometimes,

but he's working on it.

As long as you go in
with open eyes.

Yeah, definitely. The thing is,
with all these time demands,

I've got to quit here.
Jake gave me 2 extra shifts,

and I was wondering, could you
talk to him, maybe make it okay?

Thanks.

What was that about?

Oh. Uh, Matt just has
a little scheduling conflict.

Well, I trust you can handle it.

I already did.

Matt wanted to quit,
and I said okay.

He can't quit.
I just upped his hours.

Oh, come on. He's in love.

Love has nothing to do
with running a business.

Why didn't he come to me?

Because he was afraid
you'd yell at him.

I'm not going to yell at him.

So now that Kimberly
is divorcing Michael,

I'm letting him crash
at my place for a while.

No reason not to.

Besides the hospital
and your social activities,

you're hardly there
any more anyway.

Yeah. I figure I owe him one

for putting you and me together.

Hey, listen...

why don't you stay
at my place from now on?

Your place is nothing but a financial
burden at this point anyway.

If Mancini needs
a place to live,

you can maybe sublet
your place...

Hold on, I don't think

I'm ready to give up
my place completely.

I mean, I need my space.

Okay, I'm not going
to yell at you,

but where do you get off
quitting on me

without giving me any notice?

That's what I was doing.
I was giving notice.

Not to me you weren't.
Wait a minute.

He's not obligated
to give notice

for a minimum-wage bar job.

Jake: What are you, his lawyer?

No. No, I'm his lover,

and I won't see him
being bullied.

Matt: Whoa, whoa, guys.

Dan, Jake. Jake, Dan. Truce.

I'll be out in the car.

Well, this Dan's a pretty
take-charge guy, huh?

He's just looking out
for my interests.

Right. As long as yours
don't cross his.

Coming.

Billy.

How did you find me here?

Well, Craig told me
all about it.

Oh. Well, um...

come on in, I guess.

Okay.

Isn't this wild?

He actually rented me
a loft to paint in.

Yeah. Yeah. It's wild...

but you gotta ask yourself

why he's doing all this for you.

What are you implying?

It's not what I'm implying.

Craig is the one
that's bragging all about...

Look, I took this loft
on the condition

that it was strictly
a work thing.

I paint here, that's it.
Is that clear?

Yeah. Perfectly.

To me, at least.

Look... I'm really
busy right now.

Do you think you can
come back another time?

Yeah. Look...

I didn't mean to
stir anything up.

No. It's fine.

I just have a lot of work to do.

Okay, I'll see you
around, Samantha.

Yeah.

Taylor: I just need a couple
days off a week, that's all.

Taylor, this restaurant
is like a newborn baby.

It's demanding, but you can't
just walk away from it.

I'm not going to be any good

to anyone if I'm b*rned out.

So what are you saying?

You're saying you want to go
without a hostess 2 days a week?

No, but I just feel
work pressure, okay?

I just need some down time.

That's all.

Okay, I just hope
we can find somebody

on such short notice who's
good enough to replace you.

We will.

Jane, where were you all day?

It was Sam's day off,
so guess who got stuck

with working at the
boutique all by myself?

I'm sorry, Syd. I was stuck
with the supplier all day.

I just couldn't break free.

You couldn't call?

Syd, I'm really tired. Can we have
this conversation another time?

No!

Listen, for your information,

since I have been holding
down the fort alone lately,

as a partner in the business

I gave myself a little raise.

Just a little raise, but...

Jane, this is Sherri Doucette,

your mother.

Uh, Joe Curtis
got in touch with me.

I can meet you at Marino's
Hollywood Restaurant,

uh, noon tomorrow. See you then.

You found her?

Syd, this is so incredible.

I can't tell you.

Jane, this is Sherri Doucette,

your mother.

Uh, Joe Curtis
got in touch with me.

I can meet you at Marino's
Hollywood Restaurant,

uh, noon tomorrow. See you then.

Ahem.

Where were you last night?

I left a message on the machine

and said that I'd be late.

I went to bed at 1:00
and you still weren't home.

There.

What's this?

I won 1,000 bucks playing golf.

The guys wanted to get their
money back playing a little gin,

so I won 200 more,
and I was late.

You won $1200 gambling?

Yes. I can feel my luck
is changing, Amanda.

My life is back on track again.

Wait, Peter.

A good day on the golf course

is not exactly what
I call a life on track.

Oh, come on. Don't take
this away from me, too.

It's enough that I'm a
failure as a doctor.

I do not think you're a failure.

Well, I feel good about
winning on the golf course.

I feel like celebrating.

And don't want anyone
raining on my parade.

All right. By all means,
let's celebrate.

Good. Why don't we have
dinner together for a change,

over at Kyle's.

Do you have a problem with that?

No. Fine. Kyle's it is.

Good.

What are you doing here?

Making sure you're okay.

I'm fine.

So, where is she?

Don't tell me your so-called
mother is a no-show.

She'll be here.

Maybe.

But I think you could
use sisterly support.

Sydney, we're not...

really sisters.

Jane, we have been
together my whole life.

You taught me how
to bake toll house cookies.

You used to pinch me
under the table.

I got all your
hand-me-down clothes.

We used to have crushes
on the same boys.

We're really sisters.

I'd like you to be gone
before she gets here.

Jane, wake up.

The woman left you.
She's not coming back.

Excuse me, Miss Mancini.

Sherri Doucette just
called with apologies.

She got tied up at the studio.

But she asked if you'd
please come to her home

in Brentwood tomorrow at 4.

Here's the address.

Thank you.

You were saying?

Have this all typed up
and on my desk, please.

Yes, sir.

Hi.

You haven't been
returning my calls.

I've been busy.

Yeah, busy insinuating to Billy

that you and I
are sleeping together.

Oh, come on, I don't know
what I said

but whatever he inferred,
it was just guy talk.

What? Am I supposed
to be flattered

that the guys
are talking about me?

No. Of course not.

I guess I just wanted
to get closer to you,

and my fantasies got
the best of my mouth.

You'd better learn
to control yourself

if you want this
relationship to go

anywhere near your fantasies.

Hey, haven't I been
the perfect gentleman so far?

Close.

This is good.

I'll be in touch.

Okay. Thanks.

Hi.

I'm your new part-time hostess.

Oh... yeah?

What makes you think so?

I'm perfect, that's why.

I've filled in
for Taylor before,

I've seen where everything goes,

and I know the setup.

I don't know, Syd, it gets
pretty crazy in here sometimes.

You'd have to help out
behind the bar,

the kitchen, on the phone...

Look, when that party of 4
shows up with 7

and your last waitress
calls in sick,

I'm your gal.

I don't know, Syd.

Sounds like a
dangerous idea to me.

Look, whatever happened
between us, forget it.

It's ancient history.

You don't need
the complications,

and I don't need
my heart broken.

Can you start tomorrow night?

Yes. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Hey, Matt?

Hey. Hey. You got a minute?

Uh, what is it?

Is something wrong?
Is there an emergency?

There's nothing wrong.

I was just thinking about
our talk at sh**t,

you quitting and about Michael
moving into your place.

You got me out of
rounds for this?

Hey, I want you to be with me.

Okay, I want you to move
into my place for good.

What?

This is the perfect time.

You know, it's just,
I don't know.

Moving out of my apartment...

Listen, don't be cautious now.
This is not...

This is not something
that I take lightly.

Right. No, it's just...

It's... it's... it's a big step.

I've got a lot
of colleagues in France,

some of them very close.

But nobody makes me feel...

Nobody has ever
made me feel the way you do.

I mean, the house,

when you're in it,
the house comes to life.

When you're away...

it's just...

my small, little
lonely little world.

When I just look at you,
I just...

You make me smile.

I love you.

And I want you to be with me.

All right. I will.

If you don't want
to do surgery, that's fine.

There are other
less-demanding specialties.

You could do research.

Oh, there you go.

I actually thought about
becoming a golf pro at one time,

it was right before med school.

It's always been
a fantasy of mine.

Maybe I'll look into it
a little more carefully.

You are joking, right?

You wouldn't...
give up medicine for golf.

Well, I don't know.

I mean, look at me.

Look how my self-confidence
has come back

just a few days out
playing like that.

It felt great playing golf.

It felt great winning again.

Hey, I think you got
your old Peter back, baby.

Is everything okay?

Oh, this was
dinner for two, wasn't it?

Just trying to be of service.

But please,
if you need anything else,

just ask someone else.

Do me a favor.

Go be a gracious host over
at our landlord's table

before I spill soup in her lap.

So, what are
we celebrating this time?

Peter's glorious
golfing victory.

Really? Where do you play?

Over at Glen Oaks,
my favorite course.

I'll check it out sometime.

Yeah, you should.
It's very therapeutic.

Oh, the hospital. Thank God.

Calling you back
to the real world.

Yeah, either that
or it's the pro shop

calling with my starting
time for tomorrow.

Excuse me.

You'll excuse me.

I've gotta get back
to the kitchen.

Good idea.

Keep an eye on your wife
while you're back there.

I beeped you.

Why?

You know what tomorrow is,
don't you?

No. I don't.

It's the anniversary
of my sister's death.

Taylor, you don't understand.

I have tried for so long
to put that behind me.

It just hurts me too much
to remember.

Well, it's too painful
for me to forget.

You'll probably think
this is weird,

but I have this ritual
that I do every year.

I find a church and I light
a candle for Beth.

It would mean a lot to me

if you were with me
tomorrow when I went.

No. I couldn't.

It's not like
I'm religious or anything.

I figure I should spread
my prayers around, you know?

You never know
who's listening, right?

So if we could just share
her memory this once,

that's not too much
to ask, is it?

No.

All right.

Meet me at St. Andrew's chapel
tomorrow night at 8:00,

and we'll light a candle
for Beth together.

All right. Thanks.

See you tomorrow.

You had a lawsuit against Craig
and now you've dropped it.

I want to know
where that leaves me.

Amanda, you should not be allowed
on the courts without tennis shoes.

Why aren't you fighting for
control of the company anymore?

I just decided that my boy
had more on the ball

than I'd ever given
him credit for.

I thought I'd let him get
his feet wet at the helm

rather than at the hem
of your skirt.

Well, that's going
to make it harder

for me to keep an eye on him.

Actually, your snooping services
will no longer be required.

In fact, you're slipping lower
on the food chain around here.

Taking orders
from Craig today...

Well, who knows
where you might end up.

So, you're cutting me loose.

I'm completely on my own now.

I guess that's your problem.

No, Arthur. It's your problem.

You must be Jane.

Yeah.

I'm Sherri.

Hi.

Come in.

Thanks.

In here.

Did you have
any trouble finding me?

Well, no, the adoption agency
told me...

No, I meant the house.

Right. The house. No!

No problem at all.

I just took Sunset,
and I found you.

You're so beautiful.

Would you like something?
Some tea?

Sure. Tea is good.

Anything, really.

Tea is fine.

It's wonderful to see you
looking so well.

I'm happy.

What about you?

Oh, I keep busy...

Charity functions

and, of course, keeping
up with this place.

I bet you're a decorator.
The house looks lovely.

No, no, no.

I leave that sort of thing
to the professionals.

Gosh. I have so many questions.

I don't know where to start.

Jane, I have a new life now.

I know this might
hurt you to hear it,

but I can't make you
a part of it.

I have my own family

and they don't know about you.

They don't even know who
I was when I had you.

And I want to keep it that way.

Of course.

I don't want to intrude.

I just thought that, um...

maybe I could see
where I came from...

and who you are.

Jane, I gave you away
for very complicated reasons.

I couldn't even begin to explain
everything that was involved.

It doesn't matter.

It does matter.

It matters to me.

But can't we at least...

No. I'm sorry.

And please, don't try
to contact me again.

I can find my way out.

Good-bye.

Hey, doc!

What are you doing here?

Well, I know there's been some
bad feelings between us lately.

I thought this might
help us get over it.

I'm over it.

Can I join you?

Absolutely.

So, how do you
play this game, anyway?

Heh heh heh.

All right. What's your handicap?

You know what? It's been
so long since I played,

I don't even know anymore.

How about you?

5 on a good day.

Hmm. Even up, then?

Really?

Yeah. I'll go first.
Show you how it's done.

Great.

Hello. How are you?

What, are you checking up on me?

No. I just felt bad
about last time.

I wanted to apologize
about being chauvinistic

and politically incorrect

and implying anything
about anything.

That covers a lot of ground.

Yeah. Well, I think
I missed a spot,

so I wanna keep shoveling.

It's just you know
I've had it up to here

with guys and their assumptions.

I don't assume anything anymore.

There's no percentage in it.

You see? That's such
a guy concept.

You treat a relationship
like a game of craps.

Why can't you just be real?

Jealousy's real.
Where did that get me?

Back here.

Yeah.

Nice sketch.

Yeah, I wish I could finish it

but the model canceled.

And I can't quite get
the twist in the torso.

If you could just stand
over there for...

No, never mind.

What? You want me to model?

It's okay. I'm on my lunch hour.

I want to help.
You want the shirt off?

No!

Yes, okay.

If you don't mind,
you can, you know...

Okay, the pants are
gonna stay on

because I've had it up to here

with women and
their assumptions.

Touche.

If you could just...

You want me to...

No, no. Like this.

Yeah, just...

that's good.

Twisted torso?

Heh heh heh.

Well, I guess I win.

Check okay?

Fine.

You know, you don't
have to pay up now.

1,500 bucks, that's
a big chuck of change

to come up with.

I know your practice is just
getting back on its feet...

There's nothing wrong
with my practice.

Okay. We need to
do this again some time.

Too bad you had to go double or
nothing on those last 3 holes.

I know Beth would be happy
that we're together.

It's just like the old days.

It seems like, um...

a past life to me now.

Not to me.

I'm always thinking about...

how different life would
be if Beth hadn't d*ed

and how my world
wouldn't have tilted

and you wouldn't have left.

And I wouldn't have
had to cover for you.

What do you mean?

It was me, Peter.

I'm the one who put the fake
entry into Beth's diary

to make it look like a su1c1de,

because I knew it was you who
gave her the lethal injection.

I know Beth would have
wanted me to do that

because she loved you so much,

and we couldn't let you
go to jail.

I wanted you to come
back for me, too.

Well, why didn't you
tell me this weeks ago?

What is this, blackmail?

No! I didn't tell you
because I care about you,

and I wanted to spare
you those memories.

Well, then why tell me now?

I didn't want to,

but because it's... this day,

how could I not tell you?

Taylor, you can't... keep
bringing me back into the past!

Don't you understand?
This hurts me!

No, no, please!
I could never hurt you.

You were so special
to me back then.

You protected me.

All I ever wanted was to
live with you and Beth.

That was my dream.

And then she got so sick...

and it was like
my whole world exploded.

And you were just
ripped out of my life,

and I just...
I want you to be there.

I mean, you're back now.

And I just want you
to be there for me,

and I want to be there for you.

Tonight of all nights,
Peter, please.

Please just be here for me.

Okay.

I'm here.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay?

Yeah.

Shh. Shh.

It's okay.

I gotta go home now.

So you got Sydney
working for you now.

It's like you
hanging out with Peter.

Whom I happened to take
for 1,500 bucks

at golf yesterday.

What, you won $1,500?

Yes, I did.

Well, he can't afford that.

Don't worry about it.
He's a big boy.

He handled it very well.

No, I don't care. He can't afford that.
You got to give that back.

No way. Bet's a bet.

Okay.

Sydney can work
at the restaurant

if you give him his money back.

You want me to give it
back to him that badly?

Yes.

Fine. I'll give it back.

Oh, there you are.

I hope this isn't
a touchy subject,

but your rent is, uh, overdue.

Perfect timing, actually.

This oughta cover
what we owe you

and next month's rent.

Uh, what's this?

It's a result
of a little gambling debt

between your husband and me.

I see you have a joint account,

so you can tear it up
or deposit it.

Pleasure doing business
with you.

Be the ball.

Hey, what are you doing?

You didn't mention that
your little golfing fiasco

cost me 2 months' rent.

Oh. Yeah, well, I, um...

I ran into a little bad luck.

But I can make this
up in no time.

Being a golf bum
may be your fantasy,

but it's not mine.

It's my nightmare.
This has got to stop.

Well, what are you
gonna do, huh?

Throw me out?

No.

I'm gonna throw
your fantasy out.

Hey... Amanda!

Amanda! What did
you do that for?

Well...

I see things haven't
changed much around here.

Oh, Jesus.

Megan, you scared me!

What are you doing here?

I went to the hospital
looking for you.

I ran into your friend Matt.

He said that you'd be
in surgery until late,

and he was nice enough
to give me the key.

I hope you're not too upset.

No. But I am kinda surprised
to see you here...

especially like this.

Well, it seemed to me
that you needed

a surprise.

Oh, Michael.

I don't care if you
live with me or not.

I will make love to you

anywhere you like.

Come on.

Hi.

Hi.

Is your mom home?

Not for the past 2 years.

My folks are divorced.

Well, I just met her here
yesterday. Sherri?

Oh, Sherri.
No, she's not my mom.

She works for my dad.
She's his secretary.

Secretary.

Yeah. She always house-sits for
us when we're out of town.

We got back last night.

Do you know where she does live?

Yeah. Um... can I ask
what this is about?

Oh, it's a personal matter.

Okay, I'll go get
the address. Hold on.

Anybody home?

Sure. Come on in.

Thank you.

Look, I know that I've been
spending most of my time at work.

I just thought maybe
we could see a movie

andget a quick bite to eat

I can't, I have to get up
early tomorrow.

Okay, maybe we can
stay up all night.

Not right now. I'm working.

Oh, come on.

Please, Craig!

I'm just trying to
show a little affection.

Is that such a crime?

No, it's not a crime.

But this is my studio,
not your love nest.

Don't you get it?

Yeah, I get that we're dating.

We share experiences.
We help each other out.

It's a give and take situation.

Oh, okay, I get it.

So you give me the loft so
you can take what you want?

No, that's not it!

Come back here. Come on.

Ed, I thought we said s...

Can I come in?

No.

Wait. Please.

What do you want from me?

I just wanna talk.

I don't know what to say to you.

I don't even know you.

But I want to know you.

Really?

Well, this...

This is it.

This is me.

And this is me.

Why did you have to come here?

To see who you are.

I don't care where you live
or if you're well off.

I don't want you
to have to pretend.

I can't handle this.

I never thought
I'd see you again.

Well, here I am.

So...

is it okay?

I don't know.

I...

I don't know.
