Post by bunniefuu »

Hello.

Oh. Still not checking

your answering machine, I see.

I... I called to say
I was coming over,

and I thought we could
discuss things.

And I am so sorry about
forgetting our breakfast date.

Aren't you gonna invite me in?

I really don't think we have
anything to talk about.

W-w-wait!

Wait, you can't be angry.

It slipped my mind.

All this work stuff came up,

and I got distracted.

I know all about
your work stuff,

and I would appreciate not
having it rubbed in my face.

Goodnight.

Well, look who's
finally leaving.

I hope it's for good this time.

Yeah, you got what you
wanted, didn't you?

Nagged poor Kyle until
he had no choice

but to throw me out.

He's up there worried
sick, by the way.

Hey!

Where were you all night?

None of your damn business.

Unless I make it my business.

Look, if she comes in,

I want you to call me
and let me know.

Never mind, I just found her.

Don't start with me. I'm
really not in the mood.

Where have you been, huh?

You know how crazy I've been looking
for you, calling everywhere?

Where have you been?

I spent the night in a motel.

And before you ask me,

the reason I didn't call you

is because I wanted you to know

what it feels like to be
left alone all night.

Is that right?

I threw Nick out. He's history.

Well, it's a day late, isn't it?

Leave me alone.

Oh, you're up.

Hi.

Boy, I don't think I
have ever slept so well.

I guess running away
from your life

can be exhausting.

Thanks.

Hey, don't...
Don't be angry at me.

I mean, everyone,
once in their life,

is entitled to one
gloriously impulsive act.

Right?

Sure.

It's just...

I mean, you've moved
right in, Carter.

And, I mean, I know it's
just on the couch and all,

It's Walter.

Quick, hide. Go, go.

Back there. Go, hide.

Hello, Walter.

What a pleasant surprise.

Cut the crap.

Where is he?

If you're referring to
Carter, I wouldn't know.

I haven't seen him. This
isn't some game, Sydney.

An entire company
relies on that man.

And the minute
anyone knows he's gone,

we're in for a serious panic!

Employees, stockholders,
distrib...

Isn't this his bag?

Yeah, that's right, Walter.

That's my bag.

And my desire to leave.

Carter, I have no idea
what this woman said

to get this started.

But it's my duty to inform you...

No, you have no more
duties, Walter.

You're fired.

And you can spread it
around the company

that anyone else
who comes looking for me

will be fired, as well.

You can't do this.

I've been with the company
for over 10 years.

And you'll receive
a nice severance.

And if you're still upset at me,

sue me.

This isn't
the end of it, Carter.

You wait.

God, I handled that well!

Don't you think?

You know what?
I gotta get cracking

because today is the day
that I hit the street

in search of a real job,

something ordinary, mundane.

You know what?

Walter was right
about one thing.

If it hadn't been for you,

I would have never
had the courage to do this.

Thank you so much, Sydney.

You're welcome...

I guess.

Where are you going?

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't
want to wake you.

I've got patients lined up.

You managed to do
the impossible, Michael.

For an entire night,

I never once thought
about my condition.

Thank you.

I'll grab a shower
at the hospital.

Look, I'm sorry.

I didn't... I didn't mean to
make you feel uncomfortable,

and I know that...

I know that for you,
last night was just about

granting me a final wish.

No, it was much more than that.

It was great, really.

Ironic, isn't it?

It's easier for me
to forget about my cancer

than for you to
forget about Megan.

You gonna tell her

Oh, no. What would be the point?

See you later?

But hey, if you talk
to him before I do,

will you give him my best?

Not in a million years.

All I'm saying is it's
just a matter of time

until Amanda pushes me aside

and gives Alison
all the good accounts.

So what's wrong with that?

Alison's been through
a lot lately.

She needs to feel
good about herself.

Of course, I'll be nice to her.

away gonna accomplish?

It'll do a whole hell

As your new chief of staff,

it's my opinion that at
our present level of spending,

Wilshire Memorial will have
to close its doors

by midsummer.

Now my suggestion is...

Taylor. Don't get up.

Don't you move a muscle.

You know, I always wondered
why Kyle had an affair.

Now I understand.

It's the danger
and the anticipation.

Taylor, this is my office.

You know the good news/
bad news routine? Yeah.

I'm gonna give you the
good news first. Okay.

Kyle had to go to
Boston for a few days,

leaving me all alone.

What's the bad news?

The bad news is I'm stuck
running the restaurant

while he's gone,

starting in about 20 minutes,

and pretty much
'round the clock.

However, if you stop
by the restaurant,

say around closing tomorrow,

before we slip away I could
feed you a nice meal.

No!

Stay. I was just leaving.

the extramarital area,

just recently tell me

that you and Amanda were on
the road to reconciliation?

It didn't work out.

Oh, so you go and wreck
Taylor's marriage?

That sounds like
something I would do.

Um... but wasn't it
a morals issue

Until yesterday, I couldn't even

imagine myself as a mother.

really be able to do it.

And, uh, and the alone part?

I think that'll be okay.

Truth is, Jake and I were probably
never meant to be together

you might be able to find
something out for me.

It's possible.

seeing anyone romantically.
