[theme music playing]

What's the absolute worst thing that could happen to Mack?

-Disbarment. -Oh, come on

His Honor, Judge Percal has aspirations for higher office,

and he thinks Mack made him look bad

in the Jason Lochner case.

He wants to discredit the man who discredited him.

You can't file a complaint for a reason like that.

-Sure, he can't. -For any reason.

He doesn't even need a reason.

It's my reputation against his.

You know, I have no problem looking at myself

in the mirror in the morning.

My conscience is clear.

Your conscience may be

but your record reads like Robin Hood.

And what have I done?

[Frank] It's not what you've done.

It's what Percal can make it look like you've done.

Manufacturing evidence in the Baylor case.

Doctoring photocopies in the Okmin case.

Contempt of court in the Lochner case.

You're making a mountain out of a molehill.

You may have done it in the name of justice

but you've broken enough procedural rules to fill a book.

You're taking it too seriously.

[Mendoza] You're not taking it seriously enough.

His Honor holds a grudge.

You put him on the spotlight on a child abuse case

and now he wants his pound of flesh.

[Frank] Yeah, and he's just the man to get it too.

Mm, I can't wait until tomorrow.

First time having a cellophane on my hair.

And I'll get a pedicure while the color's lifting,

and then I'm going to go to Flingers for a cucumber mask.

[knock on door]

Wait. I'll get it.

-Who is it? -[male #1] The landlord.

Hi.

Come in.

Hi.

I-I was going to call you in the morning.

There's-There's a cracked tile in the kitchen.

It's not really that noticeable

but I'm sure you're as concerned

about proper maintenance as we are.

What concerns me is the funny money

you tried to palm off on me.

-What? -Funny money?

Yeah. My wife said I should go to the police.

-Police? -No, no, no, no, no.

If anyone should call the police, I should.

That is the money I got at the airport

when I exchanged my lira for dollars.

You took fake money?

I didn't know there are such crooks in this country.

[Anne] I told you to go to the bank window.

A man by the window offered me a better exchange rate.

-[Nick sighs] -I-I...

I can't believe it's not real.

That was all the cash I had with me.

I'm having the rest of my funds

wire transferred from Italy.

If you can wait a week,

we'll reimburse you as soon as the money arrives.

I can't wait a week.

I can't believe this.

Here, take this.

It's worth thousands.

How do I know it isn't a phony?

-It's worth a year's lease. -I'll have it appraised.

From now on, I want prompt,

legitimate payment in the future.

You took fake money?

You did too.

Why didn't you notice?

It was American, not Italian.

You are supposed to be the expert on American money.

You have spent enough of it.

Yeah.

Well, I don't have any to spend now, do I?

Did Mr. MacKenzie coerce you to come with him?

No.

Do you know what I mean by coerce?

Yes.

What do I mean by coerce?

He didn't force me. He didn't pressure me.

He didn't try to persuade me to come with him.

Did he suggest you leave the courthouse with him?

No.

So you simply saw him

ran off and got in his car?

Yeah, that's that's about it. Yeah.

With no prior communication?

Depends on what you mean by communication.

I knew he'd help me use that communication.

Did he confine you against your will?

No.

Did he threaten you in any way--

No

May I finish the question?

Did he threaten you in any way in order to keep you

from asking to leave or go home?

No.

Did he tell you he was breaking the law?

[Jason] No.

What is this anyway, huh?

Mack is the only adult whoever stuck his neck out for me.

And if you want to put him in jail because of that

the system's messed up and you're messed up.

We are not worried today than we were yesterday.

That's supposed to make me feel better?

We don't need money to be happy.

Some of the richest people in the world are miserable.

Yeah? Name two.

This is America.

Everyone is equal and money doesn't buy happiness.

Yeah. Buys food and rent.

Darling.

We have each other.

Why am I listening to this?

And buying it?

Because it's true.

We can't cut back. We can be like other people.

Yeah.

You don't have to buy such expensive shirts.

Yeah, you can cancel your pedicure.

That's pretty silly anyway.

And why spend all that money on hand finishing?

You can iron your own shirts

Bleach your own roots.

And wine.

You know how much money you spend on wine?

I mean, certainly you could drink a less expensive wine.

No. I would rather drink no wine at all

than a cheap wine.

Alright. No wine.

You know, if we did these things

we really could save a lot of money.

But we need to make money

to save money.

That really emphasizes your hips.

I'm on a diet.

You like it better with the jacket?

No.

What about this one?

Oh, that color makes you look like The Walking Dead.

Spaghetti and meatballs?

That's what you're ordering at an Italian restaurant?

I love it.

I know, but that's not really Italian.

Let me show you what's really--

Excuse me. Giuseppe.

One second. I'll be right back. One second.

-Yes? -Giuseppe

I know you're new in this country

but just smile

take the orders and say "Mwah. Perfecto. "

This is the one.

That is perfect for the dinner I'm attending.

But I can't afford it.

A woman can afford anything she looks good in.

Well.

Bring it back after the dinner

and I'll give you a full refund.

Now, you can't get any cheaper than that.

That's not honest.

You want to be honest or stunning?

-What's this? -My card. I'm a minister.

It wouldn't hurt for you to sit in

in a few of my servants.

I'll have the checca.

That's checca I'm sorry, checca.

-Not checca-- -Giuseppe.

Wonderful selection.

Perfecto.

And for my friend Spaghetti and meatballs.

Perfecto.

May I help you?

I'm just checking to see what's left on the racks

Yeah, I know it all looks like last year's leftovers

but don't give up on the store yet.

I'm planning to have a long talk

with the buyer for this department.

She obviously needs a few tips.

I am the buyer for this department.

I'll have a Caesar salad.

Perfecto.

Spaghetti and meatballs.

And can you tell me where the men's restroom is?

- Perfecto. -Giuseppe!

The Turkey has no preservatives

and this fruit is organically well.

No fun stuff?

There's fun stuff.

Cookies.

Homemade cookies.

What?

-I'm waiting. -Waiting for what?

I'm waiting to find out what you want.

Your cookies smile like a bribe.

Okay.

I have a friend who needs a job.

A boyfriend?

Not a boyfriend, he's just a friend.

His name is Steve Brewer.

Oh, you better keep your cookies.

You've been talking to my mom.

I've been talking to several people.

You haven't talked to him.

He's a terrific hard working guy.

I think that you should hire him.

We don't make a practice of hiring men out of prison.

Did you know that he's on parole?

Yeah, I knew it.

I mean, I just don't understand

why you're being so prejudice. This is the kind of thing

Steve must go through all the time

we're the closest thing to family he has.

If we won't help him, who is going to help him?

These cookies better be good.

-I lied for you. -I didn't ask you to.

-You didn't tell me the truth. -I did.

Well, you left out a pretty big chunk.

Why didn't you tell me you're on parole?

I shouldn't even be on parole.

Well, that's good to know

Because I never should have gone to prison.

Because I never did anything wrong.

Just like I never asked you to get me a job.

So you don't need a job?

I didn't say that, I said who asked you to get me one?

Look, correct me if I'm wrong,

but don't parole officers frown on unemployment just a bit?

Okay, I need a job.

I just hate getting one from your uncle.

Surprise again, Steven. My uncle is your uncle.

That's why I hate it. It's nepotism.

And I hate being a nepot.

There is no such word.

Are you going to tell me where this job is

and who I'm supposed to work for?

It's at the Sumner Group.

Your uncle works there?

That's a disgusting corporation.

They-they strip mine in New Mexico,

they clear cut Oregon, they--

Look, he doesn't work there. He owns it.

Wait a minute...

I hate everything I've ever heard or read

about Greg Sumner.

And you're telling me he's my uncle?

Yeah.

Ciao, bella.

-Nice to see you. -You too.

[Anne] So how was your first day on the job?

Very educational. And yours?

Oh, I got such a sense of accomplishment.

I got fired.

Well...

I did too

but I felt good about it.

Perfecto.

Would you like some more coffee?

Something to eat?

You must get hungry making your rounds.

No, I'm fine, thanks.

You look good.

Okay.

I didn't make my grades to stay on the soccer team

but Coach says maybe next semester's, so.

I'm sure you will.

[Mack] It's the math.

I've been helping him with it

and it's way past me.

It's past me too. I'm sure.

I have some information for you.

What?

The court has denied all custody

and visitation rights to your father.

Hey, you're going to be sticking around.

I know it must be hard to leave your dad.

It's not hard.

We generally like to set up a final meeting

so you can say goodbye.

I don't want to do that.

You don't have to do that if you don't want to.

Jason.

We could go with you if you'd like.

It's brief.

We suggest you exchange gifts.

Nothing elaborate. It's a keepsake.

Something to remember each other by, that's all.

[gentle music playing]

No.

Jason.

I-I don't want to see my father in jail.

Your father's not in jail.

He's out on bail.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

Oh gosh.

Nice skirt.

-It'd be a little shorter. -Mort, give me the files.

[Linda] Hold up, please. Hey!

Pardon me.

-I forgot she owns that. -Made in Matheson.

She owns everything around here.

Heard she practically does.

Not everything.

Good morning, sir.

Morning, Fairgate. How's research?

Oh, it couldn't be better.

Mortski.

I don't believe in nepotism.

Neither do I, Sir.

And I don't believe in finding jobs

for people who are not qualified.

Oh, I know that, Sir.

But I have this nephew who needs a job.

I see, Sir.

And he's very well qualified.

That's good, Sir.

So I've decided to give him a job.

I think you should, Sir.

The problem is, I don't know

what he's qualified for.

Well, I'm sure we can find something... challenging.

I'm glad you said that, Mortski

because I was thinking of giving him your job.

I got you.

Can't you tell when I'm kidding?

Of course.

Well, I want you to find...

something for this guy to do.

Don't ask me one

because I've never even seen the man

but it should be something worthwhile.

After all, he is a relative.

And no matter what happens, Mortski,

don't ever stop laughing at my jokes.

That's good, Sir.

Very good, Sir. Good, good.

[knock on door]

Can I have a minute with you?

Depends.

I want to introduce you to somebody.

-Who? -Somebody I just hired.

Oh, who's that?

Wonderful guy. Super.

Handpicked by Mr. Sumner for an entry level position

at the company.

I thought and I thought and I thought

about the best place to put him.

Guy with this many capabilities

and he's got to start off right.

He needs to learn the ropes. Get into the thick of it.

This guy's going to take off like gangbusters.

Make it straight to the top.

Who better to learn from than you?

-Me? -Yeah, he's your new assistant.

Well, great.

[Mort] You happy?

I need an assistant. Yeah.

He doesn't type.

-He doesn't type? -No.

Doesn't use the fax machine

copy machine.

Doesn't make coffee or answer the phone.

What does he do?

I have no idea.

But he's the old man's nephew

and we're going to love him.

Paige.

Steve Brewer.

Steve Brewer.

Paige Matheson.

You?

How dare you stick me with your nephew?

-What? -He has no experience.

-So train him. -That is not my job.

It is now.

If you expect me to quit

you're gonna be disappointed.

I don't expect you to quit.

I expect you to act professionally.

There is no professionalism in staffing a company

with your own relatives.

Have you ever stopped to think how your employment

and your promotions look to the rest of the workers?

Do we have to go over that again?

[Greg] And you know what they say.

She would have never gotten where she's gotten today

if she hadn't boinked the boss.

Boinked the boss?

If you can make him forget how you got here,

you ought to be able to make him forget how he got here.

Dismissed.

I have to keep you.

Would you get out of my chair?

You mean, your throne, don't you?

I'm not happy about you being here.

I'm not doing cartwheels myself.

Well, it cost me $150.00

to fix the dent that you put in my car.

You got taken.

You owe me $150.00.

-I said I'd fix it myself. -You're still responsible.

You're not getting a penny from me

unless you garner my wages.

Well, that's a good idea.

So where do you want this?

What is that?

It's for your assistant.

Oh, no, no, no. Down the hall, on the roof.

Anywhere but in here. Okay, guys?

We were instructed to bring it in here.

Well, I'm instructing you to get it out.

Well I'm sorry, I got to take my instructions

from Mr. Sumner.

[instrumental music]

I know something is wrong.

I know that I don't always...

behave right.

Sometimes...

Sometimes I can even tell

that I'm about to do something...

irrational, something...

awful, but I just can't stop myself from doing it.

And they know that it's hard on Gary.

The treatments aren't working.

Isn't there anything else you could do?

I'm ordering some additional tests

and MRI and another blood panel.

Valene.

Your personality changes have been too extreme

to be accounted for by the original diagnosis.

What else could be causing these problems?

Well, we won't know until we see some results.

Something might show up

that wasn't evident in the beginning.

This has gone on too long.

We're trying our best, Mr. Ewing.

Look.

I don't care what you have to do

or what it costs.

I don't care who we have to see or where we have to go.

But I want you to find out

what's wrong and take care of it.

That's exactly what we're trying to do, Mr. Ewing.

[knock on door]

-Who is it? -[Anne] Your mother.

What do you want?

I wanted to borrow your green suede pants.

Go away.

It's for a good cause.

I'm working, I have a job.

Doing what?

Well, I'm in sales at Stanley's department store.

I had another job, but it didn't work out

because I had better taste in the customers.

And then Stanley's put me in the children's department.

But you know, I just don't have the temperament

to work with two year olds.

So then they put me in men's ties.

That's perfect for you, selling the men.

I knew you'd be proud of me.

Yeah, I probably should be proud of you

and at least you got the job on merit.

It's not because you're someone's niece

or nephew.

Honey, that's anxiety eating.

Gives your hips.

Greg's nephew has been assigned to work with me.

Greg doesn't have a nephew, honey.

He does know.

Well, who are his parents?

Claudia.

Claudia?

I didn't know she had a son.

She did. She does.

And he's as big a jerk as his uncle.

Really?

Jason.

Whatever you call it you made for dinner was terrific.

Ratatouille? My father taught me that.

He makes it a lot better than me.

Who wants more dessert?

I do.

Your tummy won't hold anymore.

Yes, it can.

[telephone ringing]

Jason.

Would you remind me to put eggs and bread

on the grocery list tomorrow?

MacKenzie household. Mack here.

I got eggs and bread this afternoon.

You did?

Thanks.

-How did you-- -I walked over there.

You know.

Honey, you'd make me feel a lot more comfortable if you didn't.

Go out alone for a while.

Sure.

Sure.

Your dad didn't call or...

No, I haven't heard from him yet.

Who was it?

It was trial council from the State Bar Court.

Hey, go with Toothbrush Town.

One more bite.

Yeah. Go brush your teeth.

Jason, would you take her go brush her teeth?

I'll take you upstairs. Let's go.

What?

They suspended me.

b*stards.

[dramatic emotional music]

You are the coldest, cruelest

most unfeeling snake in the grass.

-What are you talking about? -You hired Steve.

You had no right to do that.

I can hire anybody I want to hire.

No, you can't. Not if it means keeping someone around here

that's going to cause us all a lot of grief.

-What? -Oh, I got it. I got it.

You think this is funny, don't you?

Well, there are other people to consider besides yourself.

I considered them.

You certainly didn't consider me.

And you did not consider Kate.

I considered Kate for most of all.

Oh, if that were true, you wouldn't want Steve

around here to hurt and confuse her.

She is not confused.

She is the one who asked me to hire him.

What?

I don't give a damn about this kid.

I did it for Kate.

-For Kate? -For Kate.

Yeah, I would have preferred to hire her

but that's not what she asked.

She asked me to hire him, so I did.

[razor machine hissing]

Well.

Stupid.

Mack, if the experts say it's a good idea

for him to say goodbye to his father

they must have their reason.

Stupid reasons.

I'm sure they have research on older foster children.

They shouldn't make them do it.

Mack, it's for his benefit.

They're not making him do it.

It's just a suggestion.

Why don't you leave it to Jason?

And don't try to prejudice him.

-What? -Don't try prejudice him.

You think I'm prejudice against his old man?

You think I might suggest that he punch him out

before he says goodbye?

Cut it out.

Bye, Jason.

We'll see you after work.

Okay, bye. Bye.

Bye.

How's it going?

Catch up.

I want to go back to school Monday, if that's okay?

Yeah, fine. That's good.

What are you going to tell them?

That I won the lottery and I went to Hawaii?

Those who know, know. Those who don't.

Yeah, sure.

What about the suggestion your social worker made?

What about it?

Well, she arranged the meeting with your dad at 5:30.

He's coming here?

She didn't think that would be a good idea

to come to our house or your--

His house.

So she made the arrangement to meet him at a restaurant.

I'll drive you there.

Well.

Am I going alone?

No.

Your social worker will be there and...

I'll wait in the wagon.

Jason, you don't have to do this.

I think it's...

I want to say goodbye to him.

Alright.

I'll pick you up 4:30.

She said I could get him a present.

That's right, she did.

If that's okay with you.

Absolutely.

This would help.

Thanks.

I'll pay you back.

I want to get him something nice.

You want some more?

No, no, no.

That's enough.

I just want to get him something nice, you know?

He's really important in his profession.

I don't want to get him anything, you know,

tacky, embarrassing.

I mean, he has a lot of big clients.

He's pretty big in his business.

One of the best.

It's like...

they had some division or something.

Yeah.

Be nice.

Pick you up at 4:30.

[instrumental music playing]

I made $42 on tips yesterday.

Oh! I make a 3 percent commission on all my sales.

I don't get paid until the end of the month

but I made $35 yesterday.

That's wonderful.

Oh, I gotta go.

Me too.

Here's your lunch, sweetie.

Thank you.

The earlier bird makes the tips.

[Anne laughs]

[Nick] Hi, what a lovely day it is.

-Yes. -My name is Carlo.

Where may I take you?

-5850 Barham. -Barham.

Barham.

You don't mind if I look in my map, do you?

-No. -[horns honking]

Next time you decide to drive someone to Barham,

pick up another sucker.

Hey, the map was wrong. I'm sorry.

Not sorry enough!

Eat your fare!

Hey, but it's over $20.

-Hi. -[Mack] Hi.

Your dad isn't here yet

but I have a table for you inside.

-He'll be right in. -Okay. Thanks.

You ready?

-Yeah. -Hey, what'd you get him?

I got on a pin set.

He can...

refill it or use the cartridge, you know you can.

[Mack] What's-- What's that?

Oh, you're funny looking.

-It's dumb? -No.

Jason. Just go in.

Say goodbye.

Hey, Jason.

Jason, come here.

You get over here.

Straighten this tie out, pal.

Look sharp.

Okay. Look good.

I'm Steve Brewer.

Long as I'm going to work here, I thought we should meet.

I don't care if you're Elvis Presley

nobody comes through that door

without an appointment.

However, I am glad that you came by.

I too, wanted to meet you.

I'm Gregory Sumner.

So did you come all the way out here

to shake me down or what?

I need a job.

My uncle's company seemed to be a good place as any to start

but maybe I was wrong.

You know, you remind me of something.

Your sister.

No, no. Somebody...

Somebody tall and skinny.

You know, if you're going to work here, you got to dress up.

I am dressed up.

You don't own a tie.

Oh, I see. Wear a tie.

Mind my manners.

Laugh at your jokes. Do a little generic sucking up.

Yeah, but don't make the sucking up too obvious.

I shouldn't call you Uncle Greg in public?

I don't think so.

Are you really as rich as they say you are?

Well, how rich do they say I am?

Hideously rich.

Sinfully rich.

I like that.

Jesus, what a pompous.

I mean, with all due respect, Sir

you are a pompous

self satisfied potato of the sea.

I mean, you could have anything

you could do anything you want.

But what do you do? What do you do that's original?

It's worth remembering. You know

you buy a company here, you sell a company there.

I mean, you don't care if they're selling plastics

or plastique.

Jimmy Steward.

Jimmy Stewart. That's who you remind me of.

You remind me of Jimmy Stewart.

But I don't think my sister ever met Jimmy Stewart.

I'll do my best to find a nice tie.

You want another soda, Jason?

No, thank you. Thank you.

You hungry?

We'll give him a few more minutes.

Traffic is pretty heavy today.

I know if I work hard enough

I can have the American Dream.

And that's a wonderful feeling.

Oh, you better pull over.

-Excuse me? -My dogs sick.

Too late.

[Radio] Heard a person's name. London just boots it out.

For any good signal.

It's for Johnson to take advantage of this.

Possible to hit it right.

Well, this great division goes buried in the mound.

It looks like this is simply right-hander allergy.

We'll take a break.

Mr. Lochner missed his appointment.

Guess he could have forgot.

I'll call you as soon as I find out what happened.

-I'll see you later, Jason. -Bye.

[Social Worker] Okay?

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

Hey, sorry.

Can we stop by the house?

I don't think that's such a good idea, Jason.

Please.

Hey, so Carlo, where are you from?

Paloma.

It's, you know, so romantic

so beautiful.

You should visit one day.

I'll have my cousin take you on a tour.

[Passenger] Hey okay. How long have you been here?

Just one week.

But I've already made over 40.

Oh, no.

I lost one fair and after I had to get the car washed

but I still have $15.

$15 in six times.

Yeah. So you're able to get a work permit pretty quickly.

-Work permit? -I hope you have one.

I'm with immigration.

[car horn honking]

Where are you going?

Got to go buy a tie. Boss's orders.

I am your boss.

Wait, hold it.

I wanted to get off.

Thanks a lot.

Too much coffee. Relax. You're right down.

You're right back up.

Well. If you haven't noticed, we're not riding anywhere.

We're stuck.

[knocks on door]

[jazz music]

[knocks on door]

This is my stuff.

Let me get the wagon.

[objects clattering]

Somewhere between one and thirty.

How am I supposed to know what floors we're between?

I mean, isn't that your job?

Can't you tell where this thing is?

What do you mean you don't have many elevators drop?

-That means some of them do. -Let me talk to her.

Look, she's getting hysterical, alright? Just don't--

Look, just get this thing moving, okay?

I am not a hysterical female.

I'm a very angry human being.

We have been stuck in this elevator for 90 minutes.

What did you hang it up for?

I didn't hang it up. It went dead.

Well, you should have grabbed it from here.

I was going to tell him I was going up top

but who cares if I'm up here

and they get it moving I get smeared.

It'll be on your conscience.

Get down. No. Men are such jerks.

What do you know about elevators?

I don't know anything about elevators

but I know some about machines

and what could hurt if I take a look?

Look, as long as I'm in this elevator

nobody's gonna touch anything, okay?

-You're scared? -[sighs]

[gentle jazz music]

-Bye, Mort. -Goodbye.

-If I ever get out of here. -What's wrong?

-The elevator's stuck. -Again?

Paige and your assistant are trapped inside.

Oh, that must just be awful.

-You ditched the cab? -I can't do it anymore.

Hey, look, I have less money now than I did two days ago.

[sighs] Well, let's not panic, alright?

I know we've had get-rich schemes in the past

that haven't worked out, but we can do better.

I know.

We were, we were just very unlucky with the briefcases

because that was actually very well thought out.

It was very well thought out.

It's just that we were at odds with each other.

Yeah.

And the thing in Barcelona could have happened to anybody.

-What thing in Barcelona? -Oh, it was nothing.

The opals weren't real, that's all.

-Opals. -No. I hate dealing with opals.

They are brittle. They craze. No.

[chuckles] No.

When Claudia and I were younger, she had this beautiful ring.

It was Coober Pedy opal

and she would never tell me who gave it to her.

But one day I saw her with a man.

[chuckles]

You know, Claudia has a son who's driving everybody crazy

but nobody knows where he came from.

I know who she was having the affair with.

There's got to be some money in this, Nick.

You're working late again.

Not working as much as just hanging around

waiting for the offices to clear out.

-Trying to set a good example? -No. Hoping you'd drop in.

Why, thank you ever so much.

You know, Fairgate, this is...

This is a very odd relationship we have.

What's odd about it?

What do you expect from me?

-Nothing. -Nothing?

Of course not.

Although I'm not surprised you would ask.

I have often thought that men of your age

tend to have a rather primitive view

of sexual relationships.

I mean, they think women use sex

because they want to snare a rich husband

or get ahead in business.

I think that view reflects much more poorly on the man

than it does on the woman.

I mean, it implies that men have to give favors to get sex.

That's rather sad.

I think it's much healthier just to view the sexes as equal

with the same desires and the same biological needs.

Which leads me to my final thought.

I'm beginning to worry that you might be taking

this relationship more seriously than I am.

I promise I won't.

What time is it?

Don't you own a watch?

Just what time is it?



I told you, you should let me fix this thing.

You went up there twice.

How can I concentrate? You wouldn't let go of me.

You're not in our health plan yet.

Besides, you shouldn't get your picture in the newspaper

for acts of heroism with your hair

looking like that.

What's wrong with my hair?

Nothing. It's perfect.

For the sixties.

[chuckles]

I feel sorry for you.

Are those metal?

-What? -Those buttons.

-Yeah. -Rip one off.

No. I'm not gonna rip one off.

-It's a new blouse. -Then take it off.

I beg your pardon?

I can use the edge of one of those buttons

to unscrew that panel there.

See, I figure one of the wires came loose

when you patted on the elevator buttons.

Oh, great, blame it on me.

Look, you want to be here all night?

Turn around.

What do you mean you feel sorry for me?

You're a beautiful woman.

I feel sorry for beautiful women.

What am I supposed to say to a stupid comment like that?

Think about it.

Your whole life people liked you

because you're beautiful.

-Or hated me. -Mostly liked.

See, one day, you'll get older.

Nobody will notice you.

That's why I feel sorry for you.

[elevator whirring]

-[thud] -[elevator bell ringing]

[chuckles] Oh.

Thank God.

Thanks.

I think we better take the stairs.

We're on the 30th floor.

I hate this building.

I'm going to make Greg relocate the Sumner Group.

Wou-would you get the file out of the elevator?

[jazz music]

Greg, I have been stuck in...
