09x13 - Only 'Til Friday

[bunniefuu]

That was Judith.

How is your wife?

This isn't about Val, it's about the kids.

It's all about Val.

You're in for a big surprise.

Because Valene doesn't want Gary anymore.

It's better this way, for the first time in our lives,

let's just be to each other what we really are

ex-husband and wife.

[car whirring]

I'm very, very happy you came to visit.

Now it's time to go home.

[instrumental music]

[theme music]

So, Goldilocks takes a spoonful from the first bowl,

and she says, "Oh, holy Toledo,

ah, [speaks Spanish], you know what I'm saying?"

So she heads off to the second bowl to take a shot at it.

So she whacks back a teaspoon of this stuff that she thought...

Said, "Oh, my gosh, how long has this been sitting here?

It must be there a couple of days."

-[Meg crying] -So she's--

Oh, that's not working?

So she went to the third bowl,

and she said...

And you know what happened?

And suddenly, you know, Goldilocks realized

that maybe the baby that she's been walking for the past hour

would lay down in the crib and just...

Oh, but what did Goldilocks know [indistinct] babies?

Right, I know, Meg.

Mack, hey, is there anything I can do?

Uh, no, Mike. You speak baby?

Yeah, maybe she's hungry.

She's a very picky eater, Mikey.

It should be ready.

Okay, look who's here, oh, look, look, look, look, look.

You're going to give her a bagel?

A bagel, you're gonna give her a bagel?

A frozen bagel.

I can't tell you how many nights this helped me

when you were teething.

-Is that the problem? -I have no idea.

[Mack] A bagel!

-Oh, look, here, here, look. -[Meg crying]

Here, here, here.

Here we go.

Does she need changing?

Oh, no, sweetheart, she's as dry as sandpaper.

Oh, Meg, please, talk to me.

Tell me what you want.

Maybe she'd prefer a crème brûlée.

Charles.

[grunts] What?

You're not dressed for the meeting.

I thought we could start the meeting right here.

I'm not going to be late for this meeting, and neither are you.

Oh, come on, we're both,

quote, "high-powered executives," unquote.

Now, no one ever challenges a high-powered executive's excuse for being late.

And what excuse do you plan to use?

I wouldn't call you cute.

[chuckles] We don't have time for this.

No, puppies and five-year-olds are cute.

I mean it, we're supposed to be there in five minutes.

Mm, I'm pretty--

Well, it's-- it's too noncommittal.

It's like-like calling someone nice or interesting.

This is important.

Even "attractive" falls short.

It's too academic.

So let's take a look at you.

Mm.

You are...

You are what is termed...

Hmm, you are beautiful.

[man over TV singing "Won't You Be My Neighbor?"]

Uh, Mrs. MacKenzie's on vacation, but I have her proxy.

Sorry I'm late, I got tied up with someone, uh, who wouldn't let me go.

We all know how difficult that can be.

[sighs] So, what have you got for me?

Well, we want to showcase Lotus Point

With an international teleconference.

We'll provide our facilities and costs.

You'll pay for the satellite time, and give us the media campaign.

This is turning into much more than I expected.

More than you can handle?

Do you have anything on paper?

[soft instrumental music]

I shall need to study the paperwork

before we talk any further.

So, should we meet back here at, say, two o'clock?

Sure.

[clears throat]

How are you going to swing the capital

for all the equipment you'll need?

Well, I've been talking to a company in San Francisco,

and they're new, and need the exposure.

So, if I give them the right publicity during the conference

I think I can persuade them to, uh,

do the whole thing for just the cost of setting it up.

[chuckles softly]

[whistles]

You're good.

You noticed?

[alarm beeping]

What's that?

My alarm.

So we won't be late for the meeting.

Charles...

You don't want to be late for the meeting, do you?

[Karen] That's great.

Yeah. Thanks a lot.

[receiver clacks]

What are you doing?

It's a baby gate. Val dropped it off.

Meg is only going to be here till Friday.

Karen, that's three days.

If something happened between then and now I'd never forgive myself.

Sheesh.

Minor adjustment.

Why don't you let me put it up?

-You think I can't do it? -I didn't say that.

-You're doing the wash. -This is more important.

Did you look for the stud?

Yes, I looked for the stud, who was on the phone?

Real estate people. They rented Laura's house.

-Where's the magnet? -For what?

-And who rented Laura's house? -To find this nail in the stud.

-To find the stud. -Oh.

I don't know who rented Laura's house, we'll find out on Friday.

I just hope it's not another one of your ex-girlfriends.

You know, I looked for studs in this room once before using a magnet.

Then found out that they didn't use nails.

And if you were so concerned about an ex-girlfriend moving in next door,

you should have rented the property yourself.

I would have.

-Ssh. -But I thought I was going to Tahiti.

Stop, you're going to wake her.

Ah.

Wait a minute.

-Excuse me. -Sure.

-[clattering] -That's it.

Push this down.

-[phone ringing] -Nice.

-Hello. -[Greg] Mack.

I thought I'd check up on the diaper and bottle brigade.

Hey, how you doing?

We're having a ball. Everything's fine.

-How's New York? -I'm still here.

It's a good place, but it's going to take

a little bit longer than I expected.

Uh, listen, I forgot to give you an emergency authorization form.

-What? -An emergency authorization form.

It's, um-- You know, it's a form.

A hospital won't admit Meg without a release signed by her father.

-It's a release. -Hospital?

He's sending a hospital release form

-in case something happens to Meg. -For what?

In case. In case, right?

Yeah, it's just a precaution.

I'll have Carlos bring it over.

Hey, listen, why don't you give us a number where you are, and in case something happens,

I'll call you right away.

Well, I'm all over the place this week.

If you, uh, if you have any problems,

call Carlos at the ranch,

and, uh, I'll be checking in there,

and I'll check in with you whenever I can.

And listen, give Meg a big kiss for me, will you?

Don't worry about anything.

Bye.

I think we're gonna need another baby gate

up at the top of the stairs.

At the top, absolutely.

[suspenseful music]

Sir, is there anything else you want me to take to the MacKenzies?

No, that's all.

Listen, Carlos.

Make sure that you, uh...

let them know that I'm working really hard in New York, okay?

Of course, sir.

New York.

Hell of a town.

Abby?

I have a fabulous evening planned for us tonight.

I didn't want to tell you till it was all set.

Charles, I can't go out tonight.

I have tickets for the American Ballet Theater.

Third row center. They're doing Push Comes to Shove.

Ryan's school play is tonight.

He has the lead.

And Baryshnikov's dancing.

It's his only performance for the entire tour.

[orchestral music]

Life's too short to make the same mistake twice.

[audience applauding]

Wasn't he wonderful?

That's just the way I imagined De Niro would play it

if he were 13-year-old.

[applause]

Bravo!

-You were terrific. -I thought so, too.

Oh, go on. Go get changed.

Come home with me.

I've got to take Brian home.

Come by later?

I'm too tired.

We don't have to do anything.

-Sure. -Hmm?

Ah, you don't trust me.

Charles, I, uh--

I hate to ask you this.

Then don't.

What about Judith?

What about Judith?

Do you have an arrangement with your wife

about this sort of thing?

No, I don't.

Because there's never been this sort of thing before.

-Never? -No.

Not once.

-I've got to go. -What did I do?

Listen, what did I do?

I thought we were having a great time.

This is all getting just too crazy.

Abby, listen.

I know that I kid around a lot,

so maybe you don't think I'm being sincere.

But, Abby, I--

Don't say anything.

Please.

[Abby sighs]

Charles.

I'm having a great time.

I feel like I'm 19 again.

But I'm not 19.

And I've got two kids and two ex-husbands,

and 20 years of experience that's telling me...

that this is nothing more than a lovely week between...

two old friends.

Are you trying to convince me or you?

I don't need to be convinced. I need to be reminded.

If I say I'm convinced,

then will you spend the night with me?

[instrumental music]

[Greg] Trust me, ace, you're gonna love being a daddy.

I've been conned by the best,

but you get the blue ribbon, Red.

Go ahead, and tell me again about children giving me a sense of purpose.

Missed you calling Red.

You could have been dealing three-card monte on the streets of New York,

you'd have made a fortune.

[sighs]

So I'm waiting to hear for you to tell me one more time

about the bonding process between parent and child.

That was one of my favorites.

Didn't you know deep down what was going to happen?

You knew me pretty well.

Didn't you know I was gonna make a lousy parent?

Hmm?

[Meg crying]

Oh. Oh, listen.

-I'll get up. -Are you sure?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got her, I got her.

[Meg crying]

Oh.

-Oh, it's Meg. -It's meg.

-I'll get her. -Yeah, I'll get her.

-You got her? -I got her.

[Meg crying]

I'll get her.

-I got her the last time. -Yeah, I got her.

-I just changed her. -Uh-uh.

-Didn't I just changed her? -Uh-uh.

-Okay. -Your turn.

Okay.

[Meg crying]

Okay. Okay.

Okay, here I come.

[Meg crying]

I'll pay you five dollars if you do it.

Not enough.

You don't understand. I really mean it.

I'll pay you five dollars.

[Mack grunts]

Not enough.

I'll pay you five dollars,

and I'll take the garbage out for a week.

[Meg crying]

[playful instrumental music]

[stewardess over PA] The captain recommend to keep your seatbelt fastened in your seat.

We anticipate a smooth flight and on-time arrival

in New York tomorrow morning.

Let us know if there's anything we can do to make your flight more comfortable.

Is this your first visit to America?

No, I've been to the States before.

This is my first time visiting my girlfriend.

Is she an American?

Mm-hmm.

-You're not. -[chuckles] No.

I can tell.

What's her name?

Paige.

Here.

-Mm, she's pretty. -Mm-hmm.

Paige is a neutral name.

-I suppose. -Like mine. Leslie.

The agent looked at my reservation, and called me mister.

[laughing]

-Leslie Johnson. -Hi. Johnny Rourke, Mrs. Johnson.

The clerk must have been terribly distracted

to overlook the charms of such a fine example

of the fair sex.

Oh, you've got the gift of gab.

No, I speak the truth.

[chuckles]

Somebody taught you good manners.

Johnny, would you be kind enough to look after my things?

I'm going to go and see what magazines they have.

Sure.

[ominous music]

Does Paige know you're coming?

No, it's sort of a surprise.

That's nice.

[phone ringing]

Sumner residence.

This is Paige Matheson from the Hampton Art Gallery.

Mr. Sumner bought a painting from our last show,

and I wanted to drop it by this morning.

Will anyone be there to receive it?

Yes, I'll be here.

Thank you.

I need the, uh-- I need the banana rack.

-I don't know where it is. -It's got to be over there.

I don't... I didn't see it.

Yeah, it's over by you.

-[knocking on door] -[Valene] Hi!

-[door clicks open] -Come in!

The banana rack.

Ooh, nice.

Looks like we've got the same decorator.

Your place never looked like this.

Well, you have not seen the kids' room.

Why don't you come down here, and play with us?

[Valene] No, I can't.

I'm taking the twins out to Gary's for a visit.

I just stopped by to give you one of Betsy's silkies.

-[Karen] Aw. -I don't know if it'll help Meg sleep,

-but it should-- -Sleep?

What an interesting concept.

Ah, I can't wait to get back to work so I can get some rest.

You two aren't sorry that you got into this, are you?

[both] No!

Are you kidding?

I never had a chance to raise my own kids.

I love hurting from being up all night.

I like finding the remote control in the toilet.

And I'm forever grateful for being able to change diapers

at least eight times a day.

[laughing] Well, look at it this way,

I've got that seven days a week, and you've only got Meg until--

-When is it? -[both] Friday.

Friday, if we last that long.

You'll last.

[Val] Bye!

[chuckles]

[Mack snoring]

This puts you right to sleep, watch.

-[toy rattles] -[Mack snoring]

[sighs] Well, thank you so much for helping.

You're welcome.

May I use the phone? I need to call my office.

There's one right there.

[Greg over phone] Who's on the line?

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize.

Who is this?

Paige Matheson.

Mr. Sumner?

What are you doing on my phone?

Oh, I'm--

Oh, I was gonna make a phone call.

I thought you were in New York.

I am in New York. In spirit.

So tell me, is eavesdropping

a full-time profession for you or just a hobby?

It was an honest mistake.

I didn't think you were capable of an honest mistake.

How come we got two paintings?

We having a one-cent sale, are we?

Oh, well, I thought you might like this.

It has the same qualities as the Fuentes.

-The same qualities, huh? -Mm-hmm.

You sound like an announcer on public, uh, television.

Thank you very much.

I do kind of like it, though.

I can tell the top from the bottom.

You think maybe you should buy this for me?

I already have.

Well, if you didn't like it, I could have always told Ms. [indistinct]

that it didn't complement the room, and, well, I knew you would.

-Would what? -I knew you would like it.

Well, how did you know I'd like it?

I just knew.

That's what I like, good, sound reasoning.

So when did you, uh, get back from New York?

I haven't gotten back from New York.

I'm still there.

Want to take a stroll in Central Park?

[soft instrumental music]

I've been thinking of putting something out here

for the, uh, pigeons to roost on.

A birdhouse?

I was thinking more of sculpture,

you know, David Smith or something.

You do know about art.

[uplifting instrumental music]

[Paige sighs] This would be a great place for sculpture.

This would be a great place to contemplate the, uh, appreciation on my investment.

You are gonna be a big-time art patron, Pops.

Oh, when I find something, where should I call you?

New York?

-And your credit card? -Thank you.

You will be departing from gate nine.

-Have a nice flight. -Thanks a lot.

Oh, Johnny, have a good time in America.

I'm sure I will.

If all Americans are as generous as you are, I'll have a great time.

[Mrs. Johnson laughs]

You do have a gift of gab.

Bye-bye.

[announcer over PA] Flight 211 to Los Angeles now boarding at gate 21.

Flight 211 to Los Angeles, now boarding at gate 21.

Oh, there he is. Oh, my goodness.

Oh, there she is. Oh!

Oh, boy, you guys are getting heavier.

-[Betsy] I'm hungry. -[Bobby] Me, too.

-Well, me, too. -I made you a nice snack.

Come on, we'll go wash your hands.

[all laughing]

Okay, okay, now come on.

Okay, I want you two, whoa, whoa, whoa, to be good.

You mind your Uncle Gary and...

and Jill, okay?

Mommy's going to lunch. Give me a kiss.

Come on.

Come on, kids, come on, kids.

[Valene] You walk on your knees?

-[Jill] Betsy, get up, come on. -[Betsy] No!

[Jill] Yes!

Come on, I'll walk you to your car.

Good.

Thanks for including Jill when you talked to the kids.

You know, she stayed home from work today to help you.

Well, I'm glad you two worked everything out.

What do you mean?

I'm glad you're back together again.

Who said we were apart?

I don't know. I just--

I didn't tell you. I didn't tell anybody.

Jill.

When did you talk to her? What...

-What did she say? -I don't know.

She came by the house one day.

Gary, don't blame Jill.

Don't blame Jill for something she did?

What is it that I'm not supposed to be blaming her for?

What did she tell you?

Gary, my decision about you and me

has absolutely nothing to do with Jill.

Oh, it doesn't?

Well, everything was fine until she talked to you.

No, it wasn't fine, and it still isn't!

It isn't? Well, that's news to me.

Well, it shouldn't be.

Did you think that our going to bed together would solve everything?

It's-it's just confused everything.

Ex-husbands and wives sleep together all the time.

Maybe they do at first, yes.

But we've been divorced for how long?

Four years? We both married other people.

I-I don't know if I'm still married,

and you're still living with Jill.

In the middle of all this, we have two beautiful...

[Valene sighs]

-Val. -What?

-Seatbelt. -Thank you.

Look, Gary, it's better this way.

For the first time in our lives,

let's just be to each other what we really are.

Ex-husband and wife.

[soft instrumental music]

I don't want to go to work.

Not feeling executive-ish?

[Abby chuckles]

Well, call in sick.

Yeah, come on. Play hooky.

[sighs] I wouldn't do that.

Hmm.

You would if you were 19.

Hmm? Come on.

Come on, your day.

Anything you want to do.

-Anything? -Mm-hmm.

Anything.

[cheering]

Wait a minute! Hey!

How about that?

Oh, no!

[cheering]

[instrumental music]

[Abby laughs]

Oh, she's so adorable.

Isn't she adorable? She's so adorable.

That's because she's asleep.

Don't you think it would be really nice to have a baby?

Oh, you have no idea the amount of work involved.

Yeah, no idea.

The-the feedings and the changing and constant watching.

And none of that sleeping.

You know, eight hours a night?

-Right out the window. -[Michael] And the crying.

Don't forget the crying.

♪ It's four o'clock on Friday ♪

♪ My work is almost done ♪

♪ I got the rockabilly playing On the radio all day long ♪

[muffled conversation]

[Michael] She looks a lot like her mom, huh?

She's so cute.

-[Karen] Hi. -[Paige] Hi.

What's up?

We're just watching Meg sleeping.

Isn't she adorable?

You know, it's six o'clock.

If you let her sleep, she'll be up all night.

Yeah, that's a good point.

Babies have their own schedules.

Yeah, I know what that means.

Oh, come on, it's not that bad.

It's just for one more night.

I wonder if Greg's gonna see the difference in Meg.

Babies change so much at this age.

But I guess, he's anxious to get her back.

Get his baby back?

You had no right to go see Val.

Did you have any right to spend all night with her?

If you had that right, I certainly have the right to talk about it.

Or is talking about it somehow worse than doing it?

It's none of your business, Val and I are trying to work out a way for me to see my kids.

And I'm not gonna let you or anybody else interfere with that!

Hey, I am all for you seeing those kids.

I stayed home from work today to play with them.

I made dinner. I played ball with them.

I did everything I could to see they had a good day!

Uh-huh, you sure you didn't stay home to make sure Val didn't stay?

I am not that desperate.

Well, you must have been pretty desperate to go see Val.

What were you trying to do?

Convince her not to let me see my children?

Oh, great. Tell me what else I did.

You know my motives. You know everything I'm doing.

You think I'm so desperate that I went over there to scare Val off?

Well, guess again, Gary.

I went over there to tell her you're a free man.

That's right.

So you can rethink this little scenario you've dreamed up.

Because it looks like Val doesn't want you anymore.

This isn't about Val. It's about the kids.

No, it's not. It's all about Val.

You're in for a big surprise.

Because Valene doesn't want Gary anymore.

"Once upon a time, in a cozy house in the middle of the woods,

"there lived three bears.

"One was a great big father bear with a thick, shaggy coat,

large paws," see right there?

[in deep voice] "And a deep, gruff voice.

"The next was a mother bear with a soft fur coat,

"a middle-sized body, and a gentle, low voice.

And the third was a little baby bear," like my baby bears.

Did you have fun today?

-[both] Yeah. -Yes?

Did you like Uncle Gary's horses?

[both] Yeah.

Can we live with Uncle Gary?

Oh, no, you can't live with Uncle Gary, we live here.

-I don't want to. -[Valene gasps]

But families gotta live in their own houses.

Uncle Gary and Aunt Jill make up one family,

and they live in their house,

And Bobby and Betsy and mommy make up another family.

We live right here in our house.

Uncle Gary in my family.

Yeah.

And Gary be my daddy.

-Yeah. -[Betsy] Yeah?

Let's find the--

Here's the page where the baby bear

runs after the mommy bear and the daddy bear.

We'll, uh-- We'll fly to San Francisco,

we'll rent a car,

and we'll spend the weekend in San Francisco.

Mmm.

[phone ringing]

Yeah.

Hello.

Oh, it's-- it's--

it's going well.

Yeah, better than I hoped for.

Well, on Saturday?

Oh, look, um, look, can't you get me out of that?

Yeah, no, okay, no, alright, no.

Yes, you're right, you're right.

I-I'd forgotten.

Yeah, no, no, I'll be there.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'll call.

I do, too.

Mm-hmm. Goodnight.

That was Judith.

How is your wife?

[soft instrumental music]

[Charles sighs]

I'll have to go back to New York on Saturday.

It's, uh--

It's a presentation and a-and a lunch.

It's, uh--

Well, I'm the co-sponsor.

It's...

[sighs] ...silly, really.

Mm.

-Hi. -Hi.

-Did you see my car keys? -Where'd you have them last?

If I knew that, I wouldn't ask you if you saw them.

Well, where do you think you had them last?

I think I had them on the coffee table.

[laughs] Oh, well, then I bet Meg has them.

Uh, where is she?

I thought she was in the living room with you.

Well, I thought she was in the kitchen with you.

Meg!

Meg!

[Karen] Meg!

Michael!

-Paige! -What's the matter?

-Is Meg up there? -No.

[Karen] Meg!

Was that gate open when you went up?

I don't know, I don't think so.

I told you to keep it closed!

-Meg! -[doorbell rings]

[Mack] Meg, come on, where are you, Meg?

Uh, is this the MacKenzie residence?

-Yes. -Oh, hi.

I'm living next door, and I'm looking for Karen MacKenzie.

I believe that she has the keys to our house.

Meg, is she alright?

They're-- they're here about Laura's house.

Oh, my God. Maybe she got outside.

Excuse me.

Meg!

[Paige] Maggie!

-[Mack] Meg! -[Paige] Meg! Where are you?

[Mack] Come here, Meg!

[Karen] Meg, where are you?

[Paige] Meg.

Come on.

[Mack] Meg, where the hell are you, Meg?

Mommy!

Oh, hi.

Now, how could anybody misplace something

as sweet-looking as you?

-[Mack] Where is she? -Hi.

[Karen] Meg!

Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

My plane leaves at five o'clock,

so I'll be in New York at one o'clock in the morning.

Now, the lunch is at 12:00.

There's a presentation and three speakers,

so I'll be out at, ooh, 3:30 at the latest.

Well, that gives me plenty of time

to catch the 4:45 back to Los Angeles.

That gets in at 7:15,

so allow what, 45 minutes for delays

and, you know, whatever.

But I don't see why I can't make a reservation at some trendy,

intimate restaurant, nine o'clock.

You won't even miss me.

[chuckles] It's hardly even a day.

In fact, I don't need all this.

There.

Packed.

Go to Judith.

We both knew, sooner or later, you'd go back to her.

That this wouldn't last forever.

But I'm very, very happy you came to visit.

Now it's time to go home.

[door bangs closed]

Don't get that package, because it's too heavy.

I can carry it.

Hi, can I help?

Oh, hi. Oh, no, we're fine, thanks.

Well, I thought I would welcome you to our neighborhood

with my famous chocolate cake.

So what do we say?

Thank you.

Well, you're welcome. [chuckles]

-Uh, can I help you? -Oh, no, really, we're fine.

I was just getting some staples.

Oh, oh, you know, it was so crazy before, we didn't get a chance to talk.

It's, uh, Patricia, right?

-And Julie. -Yes.

Yes.

-Well, where are you from? -Cleveland.

-[Karen] Ooh. -Actually, a suburb of Cleveland, on the east side.

Mayfield Heights. We lived there for four years.

Before that, we lived in Pittsburgh for five years.

Originally, I'm from Syracuse.

That's where Julie was born.

Oh, Julie, how old are you?

It's okay.

Twelve.

She's still a little shy, you know, with the move and all.

It's not easy to leave your friends,

and Mayfield Heights was such a lovely place.

But I got laid off when they cut back at Republic Steel.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I was beginning to think that I just wasn't going to find another job,

but I have an uncle who lives in San Francisco,

and he works for City Western Bank,

and he agreed to look out for me.

Well, finally, he saw an opening here at Knots Landing.

-Good! -And arranged for an interview.

So I start work on Monday.

It's all really very exciting for me.

Oh, I'm sure it is.

And I know how hard it is to leave friends.

Well, I would love to talk to you some more,

but we really better get this stuff inside.

Oh, okay, um,

if there's anything I can do,

or if you want to use the phone, just--

Well, just come on over whenever you want.

Okay. Thank you.

-Bye. -Bye.

Did I do okay, Mommy?

You did fine, sweetheart.

-I was afraid. -[door click closed]

I know.

Here, let's go.

[Michael sighs]

Here we go.

Look what I got.

-[Jody] Good. -[Michael] Here's the stuff.

-[door clicks closed] -[Michael] Shh.

What?

Aww.

Poor baby.

He's so adorable.

Yes, he is.

So, uh, what are the new neighbors like?

I don't know.

What do you mean?

Nothing, really, I just--

I guess, they're just nervous moving to a new city not knowing anyone.

These clothes are so sweet.

I wish some of them came in my size.

Hi, oh, I had to change her clothes.

She spilled juice all over this.

Grape juice, I hate grape juice.

Oh, Greg will be here soon.

I don't want to give this to him dirty.

Let's just send it to the cleaners.

He won't miss it.

At least you're in one piece, aren't you?

You're healthy and you're happy.

What more could your daddy want, huh?

[phone ringing]

Hello?

Karen, hi. Greg Sumner.

Oh, hi, Greg.

Listen, I've had a last-minute snag in negotiations here.

[kiss smacks]

Oh.

Hi, Mrs. Bunny.

[Karen speaking in high-pitch voice] Hi, Mack.

I'm so glad you're up.

Me too.

[Karen] I've got some good news

and some bad news.

Oh, alright. Let's have the bad news.

[Karen] The bad news is, Mr. Gregory Sumner

is having some problems in New York.

Oh.

How about the good news?

[Karen] The good news is, we get to keep Meg

until he gets back.

Oh, boy.

Ah.

Don't worry about it, Dad.

-It's only until Monday. -Mm.

Where is she?

Quiet.

Hmm. Good. Good.

[gentle piano instrumental music]

[calling tone ringing]

You know better than that.

Charles.

Would you believe it? I missed my plane.

No, I wouldn't believe it.

A snowstorm's hit LA?

I'd already seen the in-flight movie?

What are you doing?

I came back, because...

I love you.

Because life's too short to make the same mistake twice.
