Singer: ♪ there's a time for
love and a time for livin'


so take a chance
and face the wind


an open road and
a road that's hidden


a brand-new life
around the bend


nights are long
but you might awaken


to a brand-new life

brand-new life

a brand-new life
around the bend


Tony: artist?
All: munch.

Title?

All: the scream.
yes.

Wrong.

It's angela
without her makeup.

Tony: mona, listen to me.

Listen to me, mona.

We got two days
to cover 500 years of art.

Can you give us
a break here?

Okay. All right.
I'm going.

Ugly picture anyway.

All right. Can we
start again, please, folks?

Okay. Next picture.
All right.

What year was it--

[Doorbell chimes]

Who is it?

Kathleen: kathleen!

Oh, no!
It's little miss
i-have-a-better-idea.

That woman drives me nuts.

Hey, hey, hey now.
Take it easy, guys.

I mean, she may be
a little stubborn

And a little
totally obnoxious,

But she's got the spare
bulb for the projector

Hi. Hi. Come on in.
Come on in.

We were just
talking about you.

All good, I hope.

Have a seat.

Sit over here,
kathleen.
Oh.

Well, you look
nice tonight.

Thanks, dave, but I've been
waiting tables

For the last eight hours.

I'm not exactly feeling
like michelle pfeiffer.

Oh, yeah. You
look like hell.

Can we please
get back to work, g*ng?

Come on here. Okay.

Ha ha ha!

Oh!

Hi! Hi--
hi, all.

Hi, angela. How are you?

Angela,
this is my study group.

Study group,
this is my boss, angela.

Hi.
Hi.

And this is jon petrie
and peter gerber

Of encanto records.

Please, no applause.

Well, well,
I had no idea

You're going to having
a study group over tonight.

Well, that's funny
'cause I told you twice.

we'll talk about it
later


i can hardly wait

Why don't we just go
into my study?

whatever you say

Just trying
to fit in.

All right. Please, could we get
back to work now?

You're starting with
a 19th century artists.

Yes, I'm starting
with a 19th century artists

Because that's what
the exam is emphasizing.

You know what?
I have a better idea.

Oh!
Aw!

You have a lot
of r&b artist.

I wanna plug
the college markets,

The urban areas.

Good. She is very good.

She knows advertising,
she knows music,

And she is beautiful.

Oh, come on.

I don't know that much
about music.

All: leonardo da vinci!

Uh, I have a really interesting
idea for this campaign.

All: virgin of the rocks!

Aimed at young urban virgins.

[Rock music playing]

Angela!

Could we please
turn that down?

Have we learned nothing
from pete townshend?

Tony...

Ha ha ha!

This isn't working.

You're telling me
it's not working.

You know what?
When I was in college,
and dorms got crazy,

You know what my friends
and I do?

We rented a motel room.

A motel room?

I don't want
to go to a motel room.

I don't think these guys
want to go to a motel room.

Hey, let me know
when you get to something

In a fig leaf.

Like I said, let's go
to the motel, okay?

Come on, let's go.

Tony: oh, yeah,
this'll be great.

This'll be great.

Anything else I can get
for you lovely couple?

Turn down your bed?

I told you,
we're not a lovely couple

And we don't need the bed.

We're college students
here to study.

I hear you, chief.
You're college students.

Very old
college students.

Please, I hope you're not
expecting a tip.

Pizza!
We deliver.

Oh, great.

And I got
something special
for you, kathleen.

A dinner salad.
Aw.

Ooh, giant croutons.

You dog, you.

All right. Hey,
what do you think?

We'll start
with a little michelangelo

Since he was one of
the great religious artists.

I wouldn't call him
a religious artist.

What, are you kidding?

Hey, he worked four years
on the sistine chapel.

What do you think he was doing,
measuring for wallpaper?

Michelangelo
painted religious works

Because he
was commissioned to,

Not because
of inspiration.

I disagree.

Yes, he was commissioned,
but he was truly inspired.

But wouldn't he have had
that same inspiration

Had he been painting,
say, apples and oranges?

No, because his passion comes
from deep within his soul.

And I think it's obvious
in his adam,

His david, and his pieta.

You're right.

I am?

I mean,
you agree with me?

Well, I was just thinking
what it's like

To see his works
in person.

Oh, you've been
to italy?

I saved up my tips
for five years

To take that trip.

No kidding?
Wow.

Well, you know, I'm doing
the same thing now.

Oh, housekeepers
get tips?

Oh, no, no, no. But we get
to keep all the change

We find
under the cushions.

So far I got $40
and about 1,000 tic tacs.

So, where were we?
Uh, da vinci, eh?

Michelangelo.

Whatever.
They're both italian.

Jon: hey, hey, listen, angela,
I love your ideas for the logo.

You know,
you've really connected

With the energy of the music.

Well, it's only rock 'n' roll,
but I like it.

Listen, you gotta let me know

If you'll join me
for the music awards.

I always like to have
a beautiful woman on my arm.

Jon, you know our rule

About mixing business
with pleasure.

Yeah. We do it.

What do you think?

I say
get back, jojo.

All right!

God, I slay me!

It was
a great meeting.

It was great.
Thanks.

Monet's
impression sunrise.



Stop! Stop, stop, stop.
No more numbers.



If I hear another number,
I'll scream.

All right, okay, okay.
Maybe we should take five.

Oh, god!

Oops!
A thousand pardons.

All right.

I have a suggestion.

We're all tired.,
Why don't we pack it in

And finish studying
tomorrow night?

Hey, that's not
a good idea, guys.

Guys, we got 36 hours

To cover 200 years
of art.

Don't you want
to get as on your final?

Right now, I just want
to go home and crash.

Isn't that just like guys?

They study
for a couple of minutes,

Then roll over
and go to sleep.

Come on,
I'll take you both home.

Bye-bye, guys.
Drive safe.

The younger generation

Just doesn't have ambition
to learn.

Yeah, they don't have our love
of knowledge.

Our yearning
for self-improvement.

Gosh, we're
wonderful people, huh?

You're more fun
than I thought.

Well, thank you.
Thank you.

You didn't think
I was fun?

Well, a little driven,

A little serious,
a little pushy,

But don't
be offended.

That's what people
usually think about me.

Oh, really?
I don't believe it.

Sure you do.

You're the one
who said it.

Well, that was
before I knew you, you know.

That's okay.

I dropped out of school
when I was 18, you know.

And now that I have
this chance to be back,

I'm really into it.

Same here, you know?

I actually get a kick
out of studying.

I never thought I'd say that.

I guess we're both a couple

Of thrill-seeking
bookworms, huh?

Couple of evel knievels
of the mind.

Well, I guess we should look
at some slides.

Right.

Ahem.

Okay. Here we are and...

That's, uh...

That's psyche and cupid
by antonio canova.

Talk about your
alabaster skin.

Uh, it's paolo and francesca

Alexander munro.
Yeah.

Rodin the kiss.

And that is, uh...

[Knock on door]

That's a knock
at the door.

Who is it?

Man: room service!

Coffee for five?

Yeah, yeah,
it's for five.

For the study group.
They were here.

They just left just
before you got here.

It's the nineties,
ace. Relax.

Nobody cares.

Study hard.

Tony: uh...well,
where were we, huh?

Okay.

Ahem!

starry night.

There's such a fevered
intensity to it.

Yeah. It's like
a dream, you know?

The colors
are so alive.

The lines
are so organic...

Sensual.

Yeah.

Organic.

Passionate.

And passionate.

I mean,
it's, uh...

It's burning up.

Like fire.

Yeah.

Like fire.

Man: morning,
mr. Micelli!

Angela: rise
and shine, jonathan!

Good morning.
Good morning,

Sleepyhead.

Hey. What time did you
get in last night?

I didn't hear you.

Oh, late.
Late, about 12:00.

Oh, I went to bed
at 12:00.



Isn't that
the same outfit

You were wearing
yesterday?

No, no. You had the blue
shirt on yesterday.

Oh, angela. You--
you are so observant.

Mmm.

Tony, I just, um...

I hope that you
weren't upset with me

About asking you
to go to the motel.

Because I just hate
to think

That you went to bed
angry last night.

Believe me,
i--i didn't.

Good morning.
Look what just came.

Oh, thanks.

Dad, it's for angela.

Of course.

Oh! Oh, goodness!

Who could
they be from?

"We're only
rock 'n' rollers,

"But we like you.
Great to have you

On our team.
John "jojo" petrie."

Oh, isn't
that sweet?

I'll put them
in a vase.

Hey, isn't that
the same outfit

You wore
yesterday?

What's the point, sam?

Talk about
fashion sensitive.

Good morning.

Morning, mona.
Good morning.

You got lucky
last night, huh?

How'd you know that?

How does a sailor know
when a squall's a-brewin'?

I also know it wasn't
with angela.

Another feeling?

No. I didn't
hear her singing

climb every mountain.

Uh, mona, uh...

I mean,
you're gonna find out

About this anyway,
so, um...

It was with,
um, kathleen.

You know,
from my study group?

Oh.

Mona, what did I do?

You tell me.

Mona,
I'm feeling, uh...

You know, I feel
kind of weird, like...

Like I betrayed angela.

Oh, I see.

You know, tony,
nobody in this world

Wants you and angela

To get together
more than I do.

But the fact is,

You haven't exactly made
a binding commitment yet.

Well, so?

So...

You and angela
may be on the road

To something permanent.

But let's face it,

You're taking
the scenic route.

In a slow car.

I know.

With a flat tire.

Driven by a nun.

Who is blind.

I get the picture!

The point is,
you're human.

Be honest
with yourself.

Accept the fact
that you wanted
last night to happen.

Yeah...

But I also have to be
honest with angela.

No, you don't.

Oh, men!

What good will it do
either of you

For angela to know
what happened last night?

What, are you
kidding me, mona?

I got to tell her.
I owe it to her.

Mona, I'm telling her.

Got to tell her mona.
Ton', no.

Please.

I can't find her.
Got to go!

Anybody home?

Hi, tony.

Hi, angela.

Hi, tony.

H-hi! I mean, uh...

Hi.

Bet you're surprised
to see kathleen.

Oh, yeah.

What are you doing here?

Angela
invited me over.

Oh, angela.

And tony, the rest of your
study group will be here

Any minute.

Oh, so,
you invited everybody?

That is right.
It is my way

Of apologizing to you
for kicking you out

Last night and I know
it's been bothering you,

But you are too nice
a guy to say anything.

I'm really not that nice.

Yes, you are.

Yes, you are.

Hey, tony.

Some guy from
the motel called

And said you left
some slides

Of fat naked women
in your room.

Those are not
fat naked women.

Those are
rubenesque nudes.

I don't care.
I'll go pick them up.

C-could I speak to you

In the kitchen
for a second?

Sure, sure.
Excuse us a second.

Um...

Angela, there's something
I have to tell you.

Tony, there's something
I have to ask you.

And I know you'll probably
gonna think

That I'm being silly
but--

I just don't want you
to find out

Any other way.

I'm not being silly.

Am i?

So...

That's why you were
acting so strange today.

Angela, I really--i really
don't know what to say.

I don't know
what to say either.

So, I guess you know things
have been pretty intense,

And you know, you're under
a lot of pressure,

And you did
something impulsive.

And now it's over.
Let's just forget about it.

Is it over?

I don't know.

[Doorbell rings]

Uh...

That will be
your study group.

You better get it.

Yeah.

[Knock on door]

Come in.

Hi, um...

We have to talk.

All right.

Done studying
so early.

Really couldn't keep
my mind on my--

On my work.

Well, neither could i.

You know, it's funny.

And we never talk here.

Sort of like, um...

I always think
about this place

As your own private
space, you know.

Your papers, your books,

Your secret safe
behind the painting.

Well, i--i was cleaning
walls and I found it.

It's okay.

I know the combination.

Uh, i--i was dusting,

And then, it fell
a huckleberry finn.

It's okay.
I trust you implicitly.

Thank you.
I opened it.

Why--why are you
telling me this now?

Because angela,
I don't want us

To have any secrets
between us.

I mean, I think we know
more about each other

Than most married
people do.

And that's why I had to tell
you about kathleen.

Uh, tony, um...

I've been thinking,

And the last thing
I want

Is for you
to feel badly

About seeing someone
because of me.

Well, I don't want you
to feel badly

About anything.

Look, I wasn't
looking for this angela.

I believe you.
I believe you.

Look, tony...

Our relationship
has always been...

Our relationship.

Yeah, sort of like a blind nun
driving with a flat.

Never quite
thought about it

Like that,
but...

I...

I think what I'm--
what I'm trying

To say is that...

Maybe for now,
it's time that we...

Explore our options.

You know, broaden our horizons.

Define broaden.

Well, in the past,

I've had feelings
for other people,

But because
of what we had,

I always put up a wall.

You-you have
feelings?

Yeah.

For people?
Yeah.

Men people?
Yeah.

When?

Oh, god, I don't know, um...

Well, last month
when I went to wisconsin,

And I met this ad exec,
and we hit it off.

Nothing happened,
but I was tempted.

Tempted...

In the dairy state.

My...

My point is that...

I don't know
what's happening with us,

But I think
it's important

That we let it
run its course.

Tony...

I have...

Become closer to you

Than to almost anyone.

And I don't wanna
lose that.

Well, neither do i.

So...

You know, maybe this is part
of our journey.

Maybe we have
to go through this

To see if we can
go any further.

[Doorbell rings]

Um...

That will be
jon and peter.

I, um...

Better get it.

Hi.
Hi.

All right,
come in.

Thank you.
Oh, where's jon?

He had to go to l.a.
You are stuck with me tonight.

Oh.

Okay.

Um, um...

Uh, why don't we go
to the studios

To see those--to hear
the tapes.

Sure. Are you
all right?

Um...

Rough day.

[Sighs] you know what I do,
when I have a rough day,

When I'm feeling
really down?

What?

I whine, I complain,
I curl up into a ball,

I'm a pathetic wretch.

Listen, you're in no mood
to work.

What do you say

We just go out
for a cup of coffee?

My treat?

Okay.

Good.
I'd like that.

Angela.
