09x18 - The Blushing Bride

[bunniefuu]

I'm sure you'll win.

I'm not.

Your case is looking better and better, trust me.

If Karen knows, then Mack knows.

So we go after Mack next.

You're the one who's so buddy-buddy

with our next-door neighbor!

[Pat] I can't help what the MacKenzies do!

Baby, look, you're gonna ruin

this thing for all of us, you understand?

[Johnny] The man is old enough to be your father.

I like men with experience.

Do you also like men who prefer the company of other women?

[theme music]

Val lied. She denied everything.

She told me on the file. And she told Karen.

-[Jill] Gary, calm down. -What, is it going to be...

my word against hers?

No, we've got Karen's deposition as well.

And she admitted that Val told her the truth.

Uh-huh. What if Karen retracts her statement?

What if Val talks her out of it?

Karen's not on my side, she's on Val's.

Gary, we're going to court.

We're not playing a game where you choose up sides.

Now, Karen's under oath.

No matter how much she likes your ex-wife,

no matter how much she dislikes you,

she is not going to perjure herself.

Well, Val didn't seem to mind perjuring herself.

[Mack] The law allows you

to amend your deposition.

Well, I'm not going to do it.

Val, this is perjury!

It's going to hurt your case. The truth's going to come out.

Didn't your attorney advise you to tell the truth?

Of course he did.

Val, they've got my sworn statement.

So what?

How do they know that's the truth? That's just hearsay.

No, it's not.

You're a party to the suit, you stated a fact.

That's an exception to the hearsay rule.

You told both Karen and me that Gary was the father.

Well, I was wrong.

I'm telling you both right now, I was wrong.

And if that's all the proof they've got, your statement,

that's not going to convince anyone!

Gary, your case is looking better and better.

Trust me.

Listen, if Karen knows, then Mack knows.

So we go after Mack next.

-Yeah. -[melodramatic instrumental]

I don't know how attorneys put up with this

kind of garbage every day. I couldn't do it.

It makes me too angry.

Oh, well, attorneys just don't get

emotionally involved in their cases.

[emotional music]

[music continues]

[rain pattering]

Oh! Good morning!

Good morning.

Oh, here, get under.

I was going to call you.

A friend of mine, I ran into her.

She works for a local paper,

and she wants to do a story about you.

-About me? -Yes, well, about the family.

You know, it's a column on new neighbors.

And Sarah wanted me to work out an interview with you.

She could call you. Is it alright?

Karen, gosh, I just don't think

that we're very interesting material...

-for a newspaper story. -Oh, come on!

Of course you are. Anyway, it's a great way

to get settled into the neighborhood.

And merchants find out about you,

and you get giveaways from all the stores.

Well thanks, see, I would love that.

I love that sort of thing. But Frank is very shy, Karen.

And I know he's not going to be interested.

He's shy. You know, he's private.

Oh, well, then Sarah can talk to you.

-Really? -Yeah.

Her name is Sarah Brock.

And I'll tell her to call you.

-[Pat] Okay. -Good!

Now run. Don't get wet.

Alright!

[Mack] Uh-oh!

You know what?

Next time, I'm going to wear the bib.

Here we go.

[Karen] Hey, Mack.

Hi! I just talked to Pat.

And she's not too thrilled about having

an interview in the paper.

Well, then she shouldn't do it.

I'm not forcing her.

Well, you know, Karen,

you're more forceful when you're not forcing someone to,

than you think. Here we go.

That's it, pal. It's the pen for you.

Thank you.

I'm just trying to be neighborly.

Oh, boy.

[faucet running]

[Frank] Why did you say yes?

[Pat] If you don't like the way I'm handling this, Frank,

then why don't you just handle it yourself?

How... Handle it?

How can I handle it? I wasn't even there.

Besides, you're the one that's supposed to be so good

-at handling things. -Alright, alright, alright!

I'm not perfect, I make mistakes, Frank!

This is new for me!

[Pat] Maybe you're used to living like this, but I'm not.

[Frank] Wait a minute!

Whoa, whoa, wait, wait! This is not my fault!

-What's happening? -Frank and Pat. Fighting.

[Frank] You're the one who's so buddy-buddy without me!

-So? -Mack, it sounds...

It sounds suspicious.

Well, get away from the window.

Mack, it sounds... criminal or something.

If it was criminal,

then we'd be arrested twice a week for fighting.

-I got to go to work. -[sighing]

-Bye. -Go to work.

-Go to work. -See you later.

[instrumental music]

[Mack] Stay away from the window.

[Abby] Swim the crystal waters of the Aegean.

Explore ancient temples in the moonlight.

Leave your cares at home and let our international staff--

Let our international staff cater to your every whim.

-Don't tell me you own this one, too. -[laughing]

-Sorry. -[laughing]

You've really done well with your parents' money, haven't you?

-Come on, Abby. -Well, I mean it.

You've worked hard. You've bought other businesses.

I really admire that.

A lot of people I know who inherited money

never did a thing with their lives,

just became trust fund junkies.

Well, it keeps them off the streets.

Charles!

Uh-uh.

Speaking of trust fund junkies.

Charles, if I don't get an introduction

to the future Mrs. Scott right now,

I'm going to feel very slighted.

Abby, I'd like you to meet an old friend of mine,

M. Dawson Hanson.

Friends call me MD.

Nice to meet you, MD.

[MD] I like your place here, Abby.

Thank you.

When you get the work on the marina finished,

won't be a place on the West Coast can touch you.

Work on the marina?

[MD] Well, sure.

Charles told me how you plan to enlarge it,

make room for the big little yachts.

Well, we don't really have--

[MD] Now, you just teach that sly old dog to obey you.

-Thank you, MD-- -Have him sit, roll over, play dead.

-Goodbye, MD! -[MD] Remember, he's the lucky one.

Don't you let him forget it.

-Goodbye. -Goodbye, Charles.

-Goodbye, Abby. -[Abby] Goodbye.

Why did you tell him we were planning to enlarge the marina?

I didn't say you were going to.

I said I thought it was a good idea if you did.

And I still think it's a good idea.

You know, I have a lot of friends who dock here at Lotus Point.

But, well, you need more slips.

And, you know, maybe even dry dock facilities.

Oh! Be serious.

I am being serious.

Have you considered dredging?

Charles!

You know, some of these big boats today

have very large displacements.

You're talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Perhaps $2 million.

[scoffs] You know how cash poor we are now.

Business has been terrible lately.

I'm in the business of lending people money.

And I think that my fiancee qualifies

for the highest credit rating.

-In favorable terms? -Mm-hmm.

Just short of free money.

You'd be willing to put up the investment capital?

Yes.

-And the customers? -Hmm?

All your friends with those big little yachts?

-Yes. -And the large displacements?

Absolutely.

What's in it for you?

Just this.

[romantic music]

[whispering] I see.

[instrumental music]

Everything going according to plan?

Uh-huh.

-Everything on schedule? -Yes.

[Manny] You say that,

but you have no trust deed.

No escrow papers.

And you still don't own a single share of stock in Lotus Point.

You don't have to own a place to use it.

I'm taking up residence here.

-Full-time? -Full-time.

This is very good news, Charles.

Isn't it, Harold?

It's terrific.

Was that performance really necessary?

Investors are like children.

You have to hold their hands and tell them

everything is under control.

They trust me.

I had to show them that I trust you.

Well, don't expect me to do a tap dance

every time you need to show the stockholders our facilities.

Rent a bus and take them to Disneyland.

[Charles] I've got to go.

-Love to meet your fiancee. -No.

No.

She doesn't know about our investment here.

Is that prudent?

This is my business, and I don't want my wife

involved in my business.

-Hello. -Hi, darling.

Luncheon awaits, my lord.

Oh, you're wonderful.

[instrumental music]

[Sarah] One last question, okay?

Sure.

How do you like California?

Oh. [laughs]

Well, I love it here.

Uh, except for the earthquakes.

Oh, yeah. [laughing]

Oh, you and me both.

Well, thanks so much for your time.

Well, you're very welcome. Thank you.

The interview should be published in two weeks.

Paper is delivered on Thursdays.

I'll send you some extra copies.

-Oh, that would be nice. -Bye.

-[Pat] Bye-bye. -Oh, and welcome to Knots Landing.

Oh, gosh. Well, thank you. Sarah, right?

Yes. So nice to meet you both.

-[Pat] Well, thank you, and you. -Hope to see you around soon.

Okay, well, you have a good day now. Thank you.

-[sighs] -See?

Now, that wasn't so bad, was it?

No, it wasn't. I'm sorry I got so upset.

Well you were right.

I should have figured out some way to get out of the situation.

[laughs]

I love it when you admit I'm right.

Oh!

And you know what?

What?

You are so damn sexy

when you apologize.

[upbeat music]

You handled yourself beautifully.

It was a good interview, wasn't it?

Uh-huh.

[both giggling]

They were really nice.

Oh, good.

But camera-shy.

They wouldn't let me take their picture.

-Why not? -I don't know.

Most people like to get their picture in the paper.

Well, I'll see you later, Karen.

Okay. Bye.

[Charles] Now, I've had this made to show you

where you can build those additional slips.

There, you see?

Boy you don't waste any time, do you?

Well, where my future wife's money is concerned,

oh, you better believe it.

Well, do you think we're gonna be able

to rent all these spaces?

At the rate of interest I propose to pay you,

you should be able to turn a profit, even, uh,

well even if you rent only 40% of these slips.

And you are gonna do much better than that.

You know something, Charles?

You have spent more time and effort

on this marina than you have on our wedding.

I hope that doesn't reflect the relative importance

you attach to the two things.

Olivia!

Hi.

[Abby] Olivia.

[sighs]

Aren't you gonna say hello to Charles?

Hello.

What's the matter?

She thinks I stole you from your wife.

I'll explain it to her.

After all, I am the one behind all this.

[distant seagulls cawing]

Frank and Pat wouldn't let the reporter

take their picture.

Here, call the cops.

-Mack! -No, really, they should be shot.

You know, whenever you gain five pounds,

you don't let a camera within 30 miles of you.

Whenever anyone asks them where they're from,

they recite the same speech over, word for word.

That's because people keep asking them the same question word for word!

-Aren't you curious? -No!

[Frank] She's too nosy.

I like Karen.

She seems like she wants to be our friend.

Pat, you can't get involved with her.

Am I supposed to give up all friends...

forever?

Every time this woman does us a favor,

she jeopardizes us.

She's too dangerous.

Turn off the light!

What is it?

[sighing]

What are you doing?

The light is on in the Williams' kitchen.

I don't want them to see me watching.

Karen, you're gonna cause trouble.

I'm just watching.

I don't like this.

I'm just curious.

You're just a peeping Tom.

[switch clicks]

You said he's a cop.

What?

You said it yourself.

He acts like a cop.

Forget I said anything.

He probably quit the force and makes twice

as much money as a chemical salesman.

You said cops aren't in it for the money.

Karen, forget I said anything.

Any time I say anything

that I want you to remember, you forget.

So let me help you forget.

Mm-mm.

Mm-mm.

Mack.

[Karen] We can't.

The baby.

That's it. You're going back to work tomorrow.

I mean, you're getting housebound with Meg--

I wonder how long we're gonna keep her.

Her father never calls to find out how she's doing.

Yeah. She's young, but she must have

some kind of a conception of who's taking care of her.

The longer we keep her...

the more she's not gonna want to go back.

Well, we're doing the best we can.

Hey. You wanna speculate on something?

-Mm. -I know you love to speculate.

[snickering]

Can you imagine what the Williams' think of us?

Taking care of someone else's child that isn't even ours.

-That's it! -What?

Shh!

The child.

-The daughter, Julie. -What?

She was...

She was probably from another marriage.

And they didn't get custody, so they just took her.

They didn't steal her.

Mack, that's it.

It's all so clear.

That's why they didn't want their picture taken.

They didn't want to be in the papers.

[suspenseful music]

Oh, boy.

Oh, boy. Oh, boy.

Well, that's what I think.

That's it.

In the car.

I like staying home.

Yeah, I know.

But if you stay home again, I'll just die.

Besides, Peggy will have a fit if I don't bring

-Meg to the office one day. -Alri...

-Morning. -[Mack] Hi.

-Bye. -That little girl is just so quiet.

-Well, she's shy. -Yes, I know.

-Maybe we should just talk to her. -Karen.

-[Karen] Hi! -Oh, hi!

-How's it going? -Well, it's going pretty well, actually. Thanks.

Look, I was just wondering

what you were doing for Grandparents' Day.

Um, I didn't know about it.

[Karen] Oh, well, it's, uh...

It's in a couple of weeks.

Karen, Julie doesn't have any grandparents.

See, my parents died about three or four years ago,

and Frank's parents died before she was even born.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I just thought it was...

Well, it was a nice way for us all to get together.

Well, actually, it would have been nice. Thank you.

We gotta go. She's late.

-[Karen] Okay. -[Pat] See you later.

-Bye, Julie. -[Julie] Bye.

Bye.

[car engine starting]

Grandparents' Day? Grandparents' Day.

-Well, I just didn't know what... -That is kind of lame.

...to say. You didn't say anything.

Well, I just wanted them to think that there

was only one nut in the family.

But a nut that I'm nuts about.

-Meg. -Hmm.

-Meg. -Oh, Meg.

-Bye. Bye! -Bye!

[Abby] No lobster Newberg.

No shrimp Newberg. No seafood Newberg. No Newberg.

Close the arm, please.

-Alright, alright. -Please.

Ceviche?

Actually, that sounds kind of nice.

But remember, I'm real concerned with the presentation.

Can you do something special with that?

Well, well, well.

Let me call you back, alright?

Phoebe?

-Yeah. -Thanks.

Does that mean you approve?

Yeah. Great dress.

At these prices, this is a gown.

Not a dress.

What do you think of the marina plans?

Um, I want to spend a little more time looking them over.

Well, sure. Why don't you go ahead and take those?

I'll have some more copies made.

As a matter of fact, I'll have two more copies made.

One for me and one for Karen.

-Um, Marsha? -What?

Uh, get the architect on the phone for me, will you?

Sure.

-Just the arm. -Okay. Alright.

Listen, um, I hope you'll be very happy.

Thank you.

I do. I hope you'll be very happy.

[Marsha] The architect that drew up the plans is out of town.

I've got his partner on line two.

Uh, alright. Phoebe, could you get that?

-Line two. -[Phoebe] Sure.

-Here. -Thanks.

Hello?

Yeah, this is, uh, Abby Ewing.

I need two copies of the plans that your, uh,

partner just finished for me.

Oh, we'd be happy to send them over, Mrs. Ewing.

Just as soon as I can have our office manager locate them.

Well, they were just completed.

We're talking about the marina plans, right?

Mm-hmm. Yeah, I just got them.

Really? I don't understand that.

He finished the work five months ago.

Uh...

The marina plans?

[architect] The plans for expansion.

Yes.

Well, I'm sure we're talking about the same thing.

He finished the work in October.

October?

[architect] Oh, well, I wouldn't worry about it.

I'm sure they're in the files.

We'll get copies to you as soon as we can.

Tomorrow at the latest.

How many copies would you like?

Mrs. Ewing?

Uh, two copies, please.

Two copies.

Is there anything else?

No, thank you.

You're welcome. Bye-bye.

[Phoebe] Well? What do you think?

When I, when I came here three months ago,

I had no intention of falling in love with your mother.

Mr. Scott's New York office contacted us about--

now let me see, five months ago.

They asked to see samples of our work,

particularly the work we were doing for you here at Lotus Point.

Including the marina?

Specifically the marina.

[Charles] I told myself, this,

this can't be happening.

I can't be falling in love with her again.

And, Olivia, you must understand,

your mother didn't break up my marriage.

Oh, no.

No, my marriage was already over.

All she did was to show me that I could love someone again,

that I could believe in marriage again.

Last month, I proposed to her.

But only after I was certain I was madly in love with her.

[architect] He commissioned these expansion plans

after studying the work we did on the marina.

Now, we presumed that this was with your understanding and approval.

[Charles] I guess all I'm asking is for your...

understanding, and... if I'm lucky,

your approval.

[whispering] Well.

Thank you.

I-I appreciate you bringing these over for me.

It's quite alright.

-Bye-bye. -Bye-bye.

[door opening]

-[Peggy] Oh, working hard, I see. -[shushing]

[Peggy] I got that information you wanted.

Good.

This is harder than it looks.

There are two Frank Williams in Mayfield Heights.

Neither one of them was a cop.

But one of them was a chemical salesman,

and his wife did work for Republic Steel.

Neither one of them has a police record, either.

They have a daughter, Julie, age 12.

Good, thanks.

Is there anything else you want me to do for you?

Uh, no.

Well, you know what?

You can watch Meg for a minute.

-I'm getting a cramp. -Oh, sure.

Oh, she's such a sweetie.

How long are you gonna take care of her?

Uh, till Greg gets his act together.

I hope she turns out more like her mother,

than like her father.

He's a dud.

Oh.

-Hi, Mack. -Hi. Are you crazy?

[chuckles] Is that a question or a comment?

Are you both crazy?

I got a subpoena today to give a deposition.

Well, I would have called you earlier and told you about it,

but my attorney advised me not to.

I'm an attorney, and my advice to you

and your attorney is to drop the whole thing!

You know, everybody's very quick around here

to tell me to back off.

Come on, Gary. Let's go.

They're Val's kids.

And she has a right to say how they'll be raised and by whom!

Come on, Mack. Don't you think that's for the court to decide?

You tell me just how far you think parents' rights should extend,

because I think kids have a few rights, too.

And if you ask those kids, I think they'd tell you

they want to spend some time with me.

I'd stay with you, too, if you dropped the truckload

of toys off at my place.

Val lied. Those kids are mine, and you know it.

And you're going to have to testify to it.

Gary.

You don't think I know how I look in all this?

I don't want anybody's support. I don't expect it.

I had my first daughter taken away from me,

but I am not going to give up on these twins.

Everybody says I'm not acting responsibly,

but that is exactly what I am being.

I wanna be responsible for those kids.

I wanna help them!

I wouldn't hurt them.

I just don't want to lose them.

How can that be wrong?

[emotional music]

[Val] Lift it.

Okay, now, let's put the glass on top of the leaf.

One, two, three.

Betsy's finger. There you go. Alright, now push.

One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

Alright, press. Did you press your hands over it?

[horn beeping]

Oh, no, you know what?

We need a better leaf. Why don't you run and go

get some more leaves, okay?

Go just run off there. That's it. It's okay.

Hi!

The kids look happy.

They're kids. They don't know what's going on.

Valene.

Even if Gary can prove he's the father,

he doesn't have automatic rights to see the kids.

I know that's what you want.

And I'm sure you have nothing to worry about.

So when do you think that I should start worrying?

Maybe the first day of the trial when I have to testify?

Or maybe the day that Gary drives up to take the kids away to his house?

Why are you so afraid?

All Gary wants to do is to see the kids.

His kids.

[sighing]

I'm sure you'll win.

[softly] I'm not.

[buttons clicking]

[phone ringing]

-Yeah? -[Paige] Hi, it's Paige.

I never heard back from you about the photos I dropped off.

Were you interested in any of the pieces?

What am I, your only client?

It's after five o'clock. Don't you go home?

You're some high-pressure saleswoman.

Thank you.

I like the cheek and elbow.

[Paige] Oh, great.

I could bring it by tonight if you'd like to see it.

Nuh-uh, I got plans.

Oh.

Uh, well, when don't you have plans?

Uh, tomorrow afternoon?

-Fine. -[Greg] Three o'clock?

-Fine. -Great, bye.

Bye.

[exhales]

[piano music]

You came to hear me sing.

I'm flattered.

Will I see you after the show tonight?

Will I shave my head and walk on burning coal?

Hmm. If that's your version of playing hard to get,

I must say it would be a bit more persuasive

if you hadn't spent the other night in my bed.

Oh. Was that your bed?

Oh, play it your way.

That's him?

What?

That's your boyfriend.

What are you talking about?

The man is old enough to be your father.

Oh. Maybe you like the paternal types.

I like men with experience.

Hmm.

Do you also like men who prefer the company of other women?

My, uh, contacts amongst the younger generation

tell me you have a decent singer here.

You have contacts in the younger generation?

-Oh, they number me as one of their own. -[snickering]

-When's he coming on? -Soon, I think.

-Alright, we'll see you. -Alright.

You know, I've been thinking...

how nice it's gonna be to live somewhere else.

What?

To leave Knots Landing.

[laughs]

But why should you leave?

Because we're getting married.

[Charles] Yes, but I...

I don't expect you to leave.

You wouldn't want to take Brian and Olivia out of school.

Well, I think it might be good for them to, um,

experience some other places.

I don't want them to grow up provincial, you know.

[distant guitar riff]

What about your friends?

I'm not worried about making new friends.

I'm not gonna ask you to give up your work and your friends.

You're not asking me, Charles.

I'm offering.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

I'm Johnny Rourke.

[applause]

Thanks for coming to spend the evening with us.

I hope it's a pleasant one for you.

I've decided to relocate my company here anyway.

Why?

Because I like the sunshine

and because I like kiwi fruit with my pizza.

Well, that's certainly a good reason to move a corporation.

But, Charles, I don't mind moving.

I really don't.

I don't want to live anywhere else.

I plan to stay right here in Knots Landing and...

we're all gonna live happily ever after.

[instrumental music]

[emotional music]

[music continues]

[knocking on door]

Are you busy?

No, come on in.

I know I've been pretty awful about your wedding.

It's okay, honey.

No, it's not.

I've been terrible.

I just want you to know that I am sorry for what I said.

And I do want everything to work out okay for you and Charles.

Thank you.

If you want, I'll be a part of the wedding ceremony.

A flower girl or a maid of honor, whatever you want.

[instrumental music]

I have to tell them what I know.

Why?

Because it's the law.

It's what I should do.

It's what I'm supposed to do.

Val, I know it's going to be hard for you,

but you have to change your deposition.

It's just going to make it look worse.

No, you'll be telling the truth now.

The truth is better than lying.

It's better to you because those aren't your kids upstairs.

-It's not better for me. -Val...

they're going to prove that Gary's the father.

Or that you think he's the father.

It doesn't mean he's going to get visitation rights.

It's just a matter of court record.

[instrumental music]

Thanks for coming over.

-Throwing me out, huh? -Yeah.

Mack.

I'll think about it. I'll think about it.

The longer you wait, the worse it gets.

[instrumental music]

With enemies like you, who needs friends?

Did you practice that line?

[Mack] I called Julie's school.

I checked Pat's employer.

I checked the police department in Mayfield Heights.

-He's a cop. -No record of it.

Their story checks out, not one discrepancy.

Alright, don't rub it in.

They are Mr. and Mrs. Perfect!

Well, what do you want me to do, sign a piece of paper saying you were right?

Too perfect.

What?

Too perfect. So I called the moving company.

The moving company?

Yeah, you know the couch they said that the moving company destroyed?

They didn't put a claim in for it.

-Isn't that strange? -Why?

Well, that's an $800 or $900 couch.

That's an expensive couch in anybody's ballpark.

They didn't put a claim in for it? That's strange.

[Karen] Mack?

Turn the light out.

Turn it off.

What?

Shh.

I want to know all his assets.

I want a list of every company that he owns.

Every company that he has stock in.

I want a record of his CDs, his retirement fund,

his Swiss bank accounts.

I want to know more about Charles Scott's business than he does.

[man 1] That's gonna be pretty tough to do.

If it weren't hard, you wouldn't be getting paid so much.

-[man 1] That's true, but-- -The next time you see...

a laborer up on a roof mopping hot tar

for minimum wage, call me.

Tell me how hard your job is.

[man 1] I'm not complaining, Mrs. Ewing.

I want the report on Monday.

[phone thudding]

[tense music]

My God.

California suits you.

Thank you, thank you.

Horace called.

-My attorney. -Oh, dear, sweet, adorable Horace.

My divorce is final.

[MD] Surely you can't be planning to marry this scoundrel.

Not while I'm available.

I'm richer.

Cuter.

Got all my own teeth.

[laughs]

I don't think I could keep up with you.

[chuckling] Well...

So when's the big day?

Yes, I was gonna ask that myself.

The sooner, the better.

I don't want Charles to get away.

-Next, on Knot's Landing. -I'm just sure that he wants Lotus Point.

I'm not sure how badly he wants it.

I plan to find out.

-She agreed to marry me. -I didn't ask you that.

I asked you if she trusts you.

If she believes you when you tell her

how important the expansion of this marina is

to her economic well-being.

You don't trust the guy, but you're going to marry him?

You might think it's strange

that my wife left in the middle of the night.

But I think it's stranger that you would spy on us

and not have the guts to ask me outright what's going on.

I now pronounce you husband and wife.
