[exhaling deeply] Gary.

You're not supposed to see me in my wedding dress

before the wedding.

Oh, better cover up here.

I don't want to marry you.

You cannot cancel a wedding because of a stupid dress.

He k*lled mom

and I let him drown

because I didn't want him to k*ll anyone else.

I don't feel bad.

I'd do it again.

$10,000 makes a million.

[beep]

[exhales deeply]

Will there be anything else?

Not unless you have a spare liver.

Greg, Greg.

Greg.

[theme music]

You knew.

You knew I was going to say no and you just couldn't give me

the satisfaction of turning it down.

All those proposals you made so uninviting?

I hate you.

[door open]

[dramatic music]

[Holter monitor beeping]

You'll stay with him while I phone my daughter?

Yeah.

I hate you.

If they can print that about Nelson Rockefeller,

they could certainly print this about Greg Sumner.

Yes!

A giant of American industry collapses

and in the arms of his beautiful assistant.

Well, that sounds like an important story to me.

If you won't break it, I know people who will.

You're very welcome.

[telephone ringing]

Katie.

Honey, I have some bad news.

[elevator bell]

[suspense music]

Oh, hi. I was just leaving you a note.

-Now, I don't have to. -You don't know me.

I just wanted whoever cleans up in here

to know that my daughter is being tested for...

I'm Paige Matheson's mother.

Well, I figured.

Paige is being tested for allergies.

It's really quite serious. So until the tests come back,

we don't want anybody to clean up in there.

We don't know if it's the dust or the chemicals or what,

but it's really affecting her badly.

How long should I leave it alone?

We should know in a week.

Well, I'll have to talk to my supervisor.

I've already spoken to your supervisor.

Okay.

Hey, I was allergic to jellyfish

when I was a kid and I hated not having pizza

and ice cream and all that.

Anyway, one less room to clean up

no skin off my nose.

What?

Nothing.

I thought your mother...

was just going to die

when she heard her baby was to get engaged.

I thought she was going to scream.

I can't believe.

Mack was looking at my ring.

I know he wanted to ask me how much it costs.

That's all their generation thinks about

is how much things cost.

-Did you see that ring? -How could I miss it?

I felt like screaming.

What are we going to do with all this food?

Well, let's give some to Frank and Julie.

I'm so worried about Julie.

She seems pretty calm.

Still waters. Here.

You know, I couldn't afford a ring like that

-until I was over 40. -Michael can't afford it.

He's just lost his judgment.

But... I can't believe I'm saying this.

And God knows how Eric is going to feel about it, but...

I just I've decided it's Michael's choice

and I'm not going to stop seeing him because...

I can't stand his fiance. So I've...

decided I'm going to take her to lunch

and make peace.

Oh, peace and indigestion.

Does this need to be refrigerated?

Yes. And then we're gonna have to find out

what happened to Val and Gary.

Well, maybe they could use some of this food.

-Don't joke. -It's not a joke.

-How'd she sound on the phone? -Matter of fact.

Karen, we've called off the wedding.

She didn't want to talk about it.

I wonder what happened.

I mean, what really happened?

Look...

There are a lot of things in life I'm pretty dense about.

But when my fiance tells me

she's going to cancel our wedding

because I saw her in her wedding dress,

I know there's something else going on here.

Now what is it? What did I do?

You saw me in my wedding dress.

Nobody cancels a wedding because of that.

I do.

[scoffs] You mean...

we're not going to get married until you buy a new dress?

No, I mean we are not getting married.

I don't believe this.

First you call me silly, and then you call me ridiculous.

And now, are you calling me a liar?

You 're back.

You sound surprised.

I mean back so soon.

Well, I'm glad that's what you meant,

because it sounded like you expected me

to run off with the money.

What's it going to take to get you to trust me?

-Did you see anyone? -No.

I dropped off the money where I was supposed to

and I got the heck out of there.

Did you hear anything?

No.

What difference does it make?

All's well that ends well.

Hey, guys.

Come here a second. Come here.

I got an announcement to make.

Your mother and I aren't getting married today.

Why not?

Because she's not feeling well.

When she gets better, we get married.

-I'm not sure yet. -Why not?

Because this is something that adults have to discuss

and then decide. It doesn't mean we don't love you.

We do.

And as soon as we decide, we'll let you know.

-When will you decide? -I don't know.

Why not?

Because you can never tell how long it takes

to decide something.

When will you discuss it?

As soon as your mother's feeling better.

Look, I know you guys are disappointed.

There's not going to be a ceremony,

so we'll do something special today.

-You can't wear that dress. -Yes, I can.

But you can't. It's for the wedding.

I can still wear it for the party.

No, honey, the reception's been cancelled too.

-Aw! -Aw!

But you can still wear that dress.

I think you should wear it. You look great in that dress.

See?

-Don't push me. -Don't push me.

Hey, hey, hey. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Well, yeah, I'm looking forward to it too.

Okay. Bye.

You're not going to believe this.

Your mother asked me to lunch.

-With me? -No, just me.

She thinks that we got off on the wrong foot

and she wants to get to know me better.

-You don't have to go. -Well, it could be fun.

Besides...

if we're going to make her grandmother someday,

I need to get on her good side, don't I?

Yes, but I have to get back to work.

Okay.

Oh, do you have Bob's research on that Callaway project?

No, that's confidential. Only Paige has that.

Well, Paige doesn't own this company.

I mean, it's Paige's project.

Do you think Paige is going to have

any credibility at all after this?

Listen to this.

"Greg Sumner was reportedly discovered

"unconscious in his private penthouse

"at corporate headquarters by Paige Matheson,

"a junior executive who called

for emergency medical assistance."

Everybody's going to read between the lines, yeah.

Yeah, well, that's not Paige's fault.

And anyway, it's still her project.

I'm not going to undercut her,

and I don't think anybody else should either.

Michael.

You talk as if I'm going to go ransack her office.

[suspense music]

[clatters]

Gary, it's just a case

of prenuptial jitters, that's all.

It's kind of like a bump in the road of life.

[Mack] I like that bump in the road of life.

I'd say it was more of a head on collision.

Look, you love her

and she loves you--

And you're pressuring the wrong party here.

I didn't cancel the wedding. She did.

But why?

What did she say when you asked?

She just said she was busy making phone calls

canceling the wedding.

Actually, she...

She didn't want to talk about it.

Right. Well, why would she?

I mean, it's got to be pretty embarrassing

to tell the whole world

"I cancelled my wedding

"because my fiance saw me

in my wedding dress before the ceremony."

-What? -That's it?

That's what I said. That's it.

She said. Yeah, that's the reason.

-Can't be. -[Gary] That's what I said.

Well, it's got to be something more than that.

That's what I said, I kept asking

and asking and I figured we'd sleep on it.

So this morning I get up.

She's busy cancelling everything.

Karen, you're a woman. Maybe this is a woman thing.

Maybe there's something here I don't understand.

Maybe you could explain it to me.

-Gary-- -That's what I thought.

Well, I tell you something. We better find out

what a problem is pretty soon,

because it's not just me anymore.

And it's not just Gary and Val.

It's Gary and Val and the kids.

And I am furious about

what this is doing to my children.

-Do you have to leave? -Yes.

I'll miss you.

You can come and visit me at Rome on the weekend.

I left the water running.

-The toilet is broken. -I'll take care of it.

-[Nick] No, I can do it. -No, let me do it.

I can take care of it.

No, I've fixed it a hundred times.

What is this?

-I guess that-- -Well, let me help you.

This is the money you were supposed to leave

at the department store.

Don't be silly.

Now who else would've stacks of $1 bills

with hundreds on each side.

Don't lie to me.

What did you do with the briefcase?

There's no way I would tell you that.

Anne, when I tell Mister Conti,

do you think he will let you keep

a million of his dollars?

Anne. You misunderstand me.

I don't hold this against you. I admire you.

I admire anyone who would do what you did.

You admire me?

No one will know we get the briefcase.

You put in a safe place, didn't you?

Very safe.

We split the money and...

that's it.

Well, you do deserve a 10% commission.

Fifty-fifty.

Sixty-forty.

Fifty-fifty.

All right. Fifty-fifty.

And you give the negatives to Marco.

I knew I liked you the first time I saw you.

I have to go.

I really appreciate this, Harvey.

I'd love to give you more to appreciate.

Thought it was an accident.

But you know how much big executive types are.

They think the furniture has to look just perfect.

[Harvey grunts]

I'd really, really appreciate it

if you didn't tell anybody about this.

-Okay? -Don't worry.

I can keep a secret.

I owe you one, Harvey.

Exactly what I wanted to hear.

[suspense music]

I have to pick up something from my daughters office.

Under here.

Oh, my God.

Maybe you made a mistake.

I did not make a mistake.

Don't lie to me.

I wouldn't lie to you about losing a million dollars Nick.

Anne...

you did not lose a million dollars.

-You have it? -It's at the apartment.

You set me off with an empty briefcase.

It wasn't empty.

It wasn't empty?

I wasn't empty.

[eerie music]

What was in it?

What was in it?

An expl*sive device.

You sent me out with a b*mb.

You sent me out with a b*mb?

It will explode only when opened.

And I knew you couldn't open it.

[yelling] You sent me out with a b*mb?

[eerie music]

[grunts]

Excuse me.

The person I'm meeting for lunch is late,

and I'm just wondering if there was a message left for me.

[Karen] From Linda Fairgate.

-My name is Karen Mac-- -MacKenzie.

I know you, Karen.

Oh, I watch your show all the time

except when I have a late shift or a carpool.

Thank you.

-Well? -No messages.

But if you get a call, I'll put it right through.

Would you like to have a salad while you're waiting?

No, no thank you. Well...

I'll have a salad.

Right away.

All I have to do is pry it open.

-No. -Well, I can break the hinges.

Oh, no, no.

Well, it's not that hard to cut through.

Well, I just... I just don't want to damage it.

Are you sure this is your briefcase?

Yes, I told you, I just forgot the combination.

I'm just going to take it back to the store.

And if I happen to hear that anyone's missing a briefcase,

I certainly won't mention your name.

Now, about that favor you owe me.

Oh, and I am so grateful to you, Harvey.

I just...

Is that Bob's research on the Callaway project?

-Among other things. -Can I see it?

What is it worth to you.

-Harvey. -Harvey yourself.

I've been trying to get your attention around here

for a long time.

Nice tie.

-Oh, excuse me. -Young lady. Wait.

-Yes? -I'm waiting for Paige Matheson.

Well, I haven't seen her.

Well, it's very important that I talk to her.

-I'm her mother. -Oh, her mother?

Well, I guess I can tell you then,

it's kind of an open secret around here.

But if you're her mother, you must know.

Well, everyone just assumes she's at Mr. Sumner's bedside.

-What? -At the hospital, I mean.

He was hospitalized last night.

-Where? -[Linda] Northside.

Northside Hospital, please.

The rumor is he just collapsed right there in her arms.

Tell Paige we're all thinking about her

and if there's anything we can do,

she should just let us know.

Greg Summers room, please.

If you see her before I do,

tell her I'm looking for a briefcase I left in her office.

What if somebody stole it?

[Anne] I'm holding for Greg Sumner.

Well, I just can't imagine anybody stealing it.

I'm sure my daughter has it.

Well, if I see her, I'll tell her.

[telephone ringing]

Well, they won't put calls through to his room

and they won't page a visitor in that wing of the hospital.

Let's go.

And leave a b*mb in the building?

Do you suggest we hang around until he blows up?

Or do you want to call the lost and found

and see if someone has turned in that b*mb?

[instrumental music]

[elevator bell]

[telephone ringing]

Hey. You're not going to take advantage of Paige's absence

and burglarize her office, are you?

Juvenile, Harvey? Juvenile.

You don't get to be a part of management

by cracking juvenile jokes.

Um, I don't know, I've heard some pretty stupid jokes

from management.

Is that the Callaway file?

-Might be. -I need a copy

of that file, Harvey.

I still need to know what's in it for me.

Well, my eternal gratitude.

-That's all? -Isn't that enough?

That depends how you express your eternal gratitude.

I do so like your taste in ties.

-Linda, how could you? -What Michael?

You stood up my mother.

Oh, my word. I completely forgot.

What are we going to do?

You know, I really admire

how you're handling your wife's death.

So how am I handling my wife's death?

Well, very well.

I'm doing great.

Half the time I'm staring at these log books.

Not reading a thing.

I'm daydreaming

or thinking about what to pick up

on the way home for dinner.

Then I realize it's just... me and Julie.

I sleep maybe two hours.

Keep wanting to reach over and...

Well, hey...

I'm sorry I brought it up.

You know...

you know how many times I have to stop myself

from picking up that phone and calling her?

[telephone ringing]

Mackenzie's Law Offices.

Uh, speaking.

Uh, yeah. Are you sure?

Thank you. Yeah. Goodbye.

What?

Julie ditched school again.

[Holter monitor beeping]

Hi.

How do you feel?

I feel like I need a new oil filter.

You wouldn't be in a mood to be a donor, would you?

Wish I could.

I'll tell the nurse you're awake.

I don't call this being awake.

Well, that's probably the medication.

I'll see if they can change it.

Uh, send in Paige, will you?

Paige is not here.

Oh, see if you can find her.

Right away.

Has he told you that you remind him of his daughter?

No. No, he hasn't.

But everyone else has.

-What was she like? -I don't know.

I never really spoke to her.

From what he told me they didn't get along too well.

-Uh, Paige. -How is he?

Not well, but not any worse.

Apparently there's some small emergency at your office.

Somebody called, said that you were needed there.

-The office can wait. -But Kate and I will be here.

And we'll let you know the minute that there's news.

[Claudia] It'll do you good to get away.

Yeah, maybe you're right.

All right, I'll see you later.

Oh, don't forget our tennis match.

-You're on. -[Kate] Okay.

Sweetheart, would you go in with your uncle?

-I want family there. -Sure, mom. Yeah.

-See you in there. -Yes.

Oh, nurse.

My brother is awake,

but he's very, very weak.

Well, that's to be expected.

And he'll probably be a little disoriented

until the medication wears off.

-I'll check on him. -Thank you, oh, uh...

He's a very proud man,

very self-conscious of his condition.

And at the same time, he'd be furious at me

for pointing this out so please

could we restrict his visitors to family members only?

Absolutely. And I'll leave word at the nurses station.

-Thank you so much. -You're welcome.

[dramatic music]

[Kate] "Anyone lived in a pretty how town

"with up so floating many bells down,

"spring, summer, autumn, winter,

"he sang his didn't

"he danced his did.

"Women and men, both little and small.

"Cared for anyone not at all.

"They sowed their isn't, they reaped their same,

"sun, moon, stars, rain.

"Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight.

"Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be g*y.

"Rage...

"rage against the dying of the light.

"And down they forgot as up they grew,

"And you, my father, there on the sad height.

"Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears...

"Do not go gentle into that good night.

"Rage...

"rage...

"against the dying...

[grunting on TV]

[movie eerie music]

-The hell is going on here? -We're watching a tape.

I can see you're watching a tape.

Dad, these are my friends Carla, Paul and Jason.

-Hey, how you doing? -Howdy.

Hey, Mr. Williams.

Yeah, it was a weekday special $0.99

if we return it before 6:00.

It's Return of the Living Dead Part Two .

Shouldn't you all be in school?

Well, actually, sir, I was excused early.

Um, my fourth period teacher got sick

and band practice was cancelled.

Band?

-What about you two? -Same with me, sir.

Yeah, same here, Mr. Williams.

Uh-huh. So you're in the band?

-What instrument you play? -Clarinet.

-At the marching band? -Yes, Sir. No, Sir.

Um, ensemble.

Son, your school has not been able to afford

a music program for ten years.

So get your lyin' butt out of my house.

-Dad-- -[yelling] Now.

It's okay. We're gone.

[Julie sighs]

-Bye, Julie. -Bye.

[Carla] Bye, sir.

-We can watch it at my house. -Oh, good. Let's go.

I'll see you guys later.

You're crazy if you hang around here.

Well, then I'm crazy.

All right. See ya.

-You wanna explain yourself? -Not particularly.

[yelling] Hey.

Don't talk to me that way.

-Do you have an explanation? -School is boring.

Not half as boring as your life is about to become

outside of school.

No TV for a week, no movies for a month.

And that's nowhere near as boring

as you will become if you drop out.

[door shut heavily]

-That don't work. -Toys break sometimes.

-Fix it. -I don't know how.

I'll fix it.

-I beg your pardon? -I can fix it.

-Well, thanks anyway, but... -No really, no strings attached.

When I was little, I used to have one of these and...

I broke it, I was so mad.

My parents wouldn't give me a new one

and nobody could fix it.

I know just how you feel.

There you go.

Meg, don't forget to say thank you.

-[Meg] Thank you. -Anytime.

Gone?

Well, how long ago did she leave?

A while ago. I don't know.

Well, did she have a briefcase with her?

You'll forgive me. I didn't notice.

I'm sorry. We have a little emergency of our own.

-[Anne] How is he. -Sick.

Can we see him?

Sorry, family members only. It's the hospital policy.

-Well. Give him our best. -I will.

What are you doing?

-I'm calling in a b*mb threat. -No.

It's the only responsible thing to do.

Do you want them to find a b*mb

with your fingerprints all over it?

You're not worried about my fingerprints!

Yours are all over it.

I can be out of this country in two hours.

Do you want to go to jail?

There are limits to what I'll do, jail or no jail.

I'm not going to leave a b*mb in a building

with hundreds of people in it.

[dramatic tense music]

Get me the police. This is an emergency.

Disguise your voice.

I'd like to report a b*mb.

[police siren wailing]

Excuse me, this building being evacuated.

Yes, I know. I'm getting my things together,

Do you mind?

Well, excuse us for taking a b*mb threat seriously.

You're probably the one who phoned it in.

Let's go.

[Linda] You've gotta help me out with this.

It was just a total oversight of my car.

Paige, your mother asked me to tell you

that she needs a briefcase. she left in your office.

-May I? -Ten seconds hurry up.

-Let's go. -Okay.

I'm rooting for the b*mb.

I hope this building is blown into pieces.

[police siren wailing]

Michael, your mother must just think I'm terrible.

I could send her some flowers.

-We'll go over for dinner. -This weekend?

Great.

No, tonight. We better do it right away.

She won't have time to develop a grudge.

Terrific. You call her. No, I'll call her

and we'll pick up some good take out.

-It'll be great. -Okay.

It'll be horrible.

I can't believe we're doing this.

Do you know how long she left me waiting?

An hour and a half. And not even a phone call.

No common courtesy.

-You told me. -She said she forgot.

You told me.

I hope Michael realizes

I'm being nice to her for his sake.

And don't mention the cost of the ring.

And don't talk about money.

-Hi. -Hey.

Oh, Karen, can you ever forget me?

Oh, don't be silly.

So what have we got?

-Chinese. -No MSG.

Is that okay?

Well, you can never get enough food Chinese.

I used to cook a lot,

but now we've become takeout experts.

Linda is really a good cook.

But you're a good cook too, Michael.

Oh, I would have had you over a lot sooner,

but the dishes are still boxed.

-From the move? -From the store.

Oh, you'll die when you see the pattern.

-Oh, I'll bet. -It's nice to get new dishes.

-I can remember-- -Oh, we had to.

The ones we had didn't go with anything

once we repainted.

Expensive paint job.

Well, we had to repaint after they replaced the carpet.

Carpet. Isn't that a big...

-Undertaking? -And they had promised us

-this one shade in a cut pile. -Yeah.

And what they installed was definitely not we asked for it.

No, but so now we have kind of a Berber

and we like it better anyway.

-Isn't that a lot of m-- -Effort?

Effort...

to put into a rental unit?

Well, we were going to wait

till it was all fixed up and then surprise you.

You've already surprised us... a bit.

It's not a rental unit.

-It's our first home. -Well, it's a condo.

-Con-- -...gratulations.

Thanks.

[Linda chuckles]

[woman on PA] Doctor Brian Peach at ICU Staff.

[telephone ringing]

[eerie music]

Sweetheart.

What did he want?

What do you think he wanted?

Sometimes I wonder about you.

It's just that they have this family only policy.

[woman on PA] Michelle Rumples, please report to radiology.

[eerie music]

Val, we can't leave the kids in limbo.

Children understand we're not getting married.

I don't understand it. How could they?

-This water tastes funny. -No. Val.

Look, if if you're afraid it's going to be like

our past marriages, I swear to you I've changed.

If you wonder if I love you, don't wonder, I do.

And if I've done something awful, please tell me.

Gary, you are so melodramatic.

We're not getting married. It's as simple as that.

-Because of the dress? -No, not because of the dress.

-I knew it. What? -All right. Yes.

-It was the dress. -Good God.

-Are you making fun of me? -No.

I'm trying to understand you.

Well, Gary, the dress was an omen.

It represents everything

that ever went wrong between us. All right?

Val.

Why did we get married twice before, huh?

There must have been good reasons.

There were also good reasons why we got divorced.

[dramatic music]

[chatter on PA]

[eerie music]

Oh.

Carlos, I didn't know it was you.

It was sweet of you to come to the hospital.

Thank you.

Oh, Carlos.

I know it's forward of me to talk like this.

I hope you won't think it's inappropriate, but...

I know my brother, I know how self absorbed

he can be and with--

without meaning to he can overlook the people

that mean the most to him.

Who are the most dedicated to him, so I...

I want you to know that if.

I pray to God this doesn't happen.

If...

if he dies.

I will help you find employment.

That's nice of you, Mrs. Whittaker,

but your brother... has been more than generous to me.

Oh?

Well, I'm relieved to hear that.

He has willed his ranch to me.

Oh!

Well, that that is wonderful, but...

Well, that is reassuring that Greg still has a heart.

Yes.

I'm sure then, that he's made provisions for his daughter Meg.

-I presume he has. -You don't know for certain?

I haven't read the will.

I know how upset Greg was by his own father's will.

Do you remember how hurt he was

by the way his father treated him?

So it's funny how your parents,

even after they die, can still affect, still affect you.

Oh, I would just...

hate to think that little Meg, when she grew up,

would find out that her father forgot about her.

It's going to be bad enough when she learns,

and I hope they do not tell her until she can handle it.

That he abandoned her.

All right, now, maybe that is too strong a word, but...

he gave her up.

[emotional music]

It'd be even worse if it turns out

that he neglected her financially.

There might be time for Greg to alter the will

if he hasn't included her.

-Yes. -Yes, you see.

But first we have to know what he left her.

I-- I couldn't just ask him and he's so hostile towards me.

He just suspects my motives.

I guess there's no way to find out what's in the will?

[eerie music]

Mother?

Mother?

Mother?

Oh, great. Thank you so much.

They finished searching the building.

-And there's no b*mb. -Whoa, what a relief.

Yeah. Well, listen, everybody.

I feel like the rudest person on earth. I really do.

But there's some things back at the office

-I have to get tonight. -It was really great seeing you.

It really was.

But why don't you stay in visit Michael?

No, I got to get going too. Yeah, but thanks for everything.

-Good to see you. -Well, it's good to see you too.

-Bye. -It was fun.

Michael, I can meet you at home. Which car did you want to drive?

-How about the new one? -How did you know?

[Michael] He didn't. He was joking.

I thought I was joking.

You.

-Goodnight. -Goodnight.

[crickets chirping]

[instrumental music]

[Karen] I don't want to know.

I don't even want to know what it looks like.

Harvey,

Harvey?

My God.

I know how much you liked the tie.

Do you have the research?

-That's not all I've got. -Is that my copy?

No, it's an original.

-Just like me. -[Linda scoffs]

Let's copy.

Now this is the kind of regional research

I prefer doing.

Harvey, I think you're getting a little carried away.

No, you'll know if I get carried away.

This is not getting carried away.

This is just getting started.

[machine whirring]

Harvey.

Harvey.

[scoffs]

-Please, I think I've got to go. -Go?

Yes.

I didn't put my job on the line for nothing.

Well, my word, I don't know what you thought--

You know exactly what was gonna happen.

Harvey, I am engaged, for heavens sakes.

Now, I really appreciate you

helping to get this research and I'm going to pay you back,

but not like that.

-Why'd you lead me on? -I didn't lead you on.

Your imagination led you on. Honestly.

Harvey...

if you really thought that I would have sex with you

just for a stack of papers,

you must think I don't respect you.

You must not respect yourself.

-The new George Michael's okay. -His video is kind of lame.

Well, he says he wants people to concentrate

more on his words than his face.

It's okay if you don't want to think.

He's not disco, sort of. You know.

I like Sinead O'Connor. She's got brains.

And you kind of have to be in the mood for her, you know?

She's not just background music.

And Ziggy Marley lets you dance and think at the same time.

Yeah. Yeah, you ever hear of b*llet Tribe?

[Julie negation humming]

They look like they'd k*ll you and stuff.

But they talk about peace and stuff.

-It's weird. I like them. -Really?

I thought you were in your room.

-Go inside. -Dad, we're just talking.

[Frank] Inside.

See you.

If you're here another minute, I'll call the cops.

Yes, sir. Mr. Williams, sir.

Loud and clear, sir.

Absolutely, sir.

I'm on my way, sir.

I'm gone, sir. I'm out of here, sir.

Good night, sir. Goodbye, sir.

-She'll change her mind. -No.

-Yes, she will. -No, I'm telling you, she won't.

You were made for each other. I mean it.

You even argue like married couples.

-This is it. -She'll change her mind.

This is it because I don't care

if she changes her mind. I've had it.

I am too old to enjoy marriage to the queen of her own drama.

You love her.

That's not exactly the point anymore, is it?

-Yes, it is. -No.

I've been through it. I'm used to her.

I've known her for 27 years.

I can't subject the kids with the same ups and downs,

and I'm not willing to go through myself.

There is something about me that sets her off.

The two of us together. It doesn't work.

I don't know, but it's making the kids nuts

and I'm not willing to put them through it.

I'm going to back off.

This is insane. I should be allowed to see him.

If he knew I was here, he would want me in there.

I'm sorry, young lady, but it is not up to me.

Paige. Thank you very much.

Paige. Paige, I am so sorry about this family only policy.

I have lodged a complaint.

I've tried to talk to the administrator.

They just keep giving me the runaround.

Look, maybe tomorrow I can get it

all straightened out, okay?

I will tell Greg you were here.

Okay. Thank you.

[woman on PA] Doctor Michael Silverman.

Please report to the admissions desk.

Doctor Michael Silverman, to the admissions desk.

[dramatic music]

-Sumner's residence. -Hello. Carlos, it's Claudia.

-How is he been doing? -There's no change.

What about the other thing

that you and I were so worried about.

You don't have to worry.

He left everything except the ranch

to his daughter Meg.

I'm so relieved. Thank you, Carlos.

-Good night. -Good night, ma'am.

She's not here, she's not in her office,

she's not at the hospital.

Now what?

-Going home. -Oh, great.

-Plant a b*mb and go home. -I only did my job.

That's the excuse of a lifetime.

Fine. Get out.

Just leave me my half of the money.

Fine. It will be worth more than half

just to get away from you.

But it's not soon enough for me.

-Oh, my God. -She brought it back.

Thank God no one will be hurt.

[tense music]

-Which one has the money? -I don't know.

[yelling] Nick.

[tense music]

[narrator] Next on Knots Landing.

You can unrig the b*mb, can't you?

I can't unrig it because that was the whole point

of a b*mb like this.

And leave me the keys.

-These keys? -Yes.

We don't want the patients to feel

in competition with each other.

They are in competition. And you are saying to me

that even if there was a liver, you wouldn't give it to him.

No funeral, no preacher.

-No flowers, no speeches. -Hey, Greg.

Cremate me.
