06x06 - The Light At the End of the Tumble

[bunniefuu]

Hey, guys. Oh, thanks.

Thanks very much.

Can I get you anything else?

No, no.

What are you doing here?

I thought I told you...

I came to say
good-bye, all right?

I'm going back to L.A.

Look, I need to say this.

You don't see
what your mother is doing.

She's manipulating you into
staying here for her own sake

because that's what she wants,
what she needs.

It's all about her guilt.

She thinks she blew it
the first time she raised you.

And now, she wants
a second chance,

and you're just playing
right into her hands.

That's not true.

There is history here
you don't understand.

What's to understand?

Your daddy's a criminal,
and your momma's got a shotgun.

I'm telling you, Sam,
it doesn't matter.

You are a grown woman.

You have to live now,
in the present.

What happened
in the past is over.

I'll see you.

We've come so far together,
you know that?

We have our whole lives
ahead of us.

Why do you wanna
throw that away?

I need to stop thinking
about myself for a change.

My mother needs me...
and I need her.

More than you need me?

Samantha?

Crowd's getting hungry...
I could use your help.

I'll be right there.

I guess this is it then.

Yeah, I guess it is.

♪ ♪

Hey.

I love you.

Nothing will ever change that.

♪ ♪

Why don't you take a rest, Sam?

You're probably not used
to being on your feet all day.

I'm not tired.

Did I tell you about
our plans for the weekend?

Saturday, we'll head over
to a swap meet.

And then,
on Sunday after church,

there's a big picnic
down at the park.

I don't care about any of that

because, in case
you haven't noticed,

my boyfriend just walked out
of my life.

We've been over
this before, Sam.

You're better off
without that Billy.

He's nothing but trouble.

You don't even know Billy, Mom.

You never even gave him
a chance.

I know enough.

He wasn't good for you.

He didn't help you.

That's why you came
back here, isn't it?

We can start over...

together.

This is where my little girl
belongs, with her mother.

You are trying
to raise me a second time.

No.

I... I just want you
to understand

that there were mistakes made,

and I'm trying to make up
for lost time.

You were a good mother.

Dad was the problem, not you.

You did the best you could
under the circumstances.

Then why did you leave me?

I wasn't running away from you.

I was... I was trying to get away
from a... a bad situation.

God.

I wanted to spare you
from that, Sam.

I wanted to protect you
from that shame and that fear.

Damn it, why wasn't I stronger?

I should have fought back
when your father hit me.

I should have taken
you children and left.

I just couldn't do it.

I was weak.

No.

You were scared.

Dad would've k*lled you
if you would

have tried to run with us.

You saved us, Mom.

You're not a little girl
anymore, are you?

You're a strong, young woman...

with your whole life
ahead of you.

See, you did raise me right
the first time.

Besides, if we can't
be seen in public,

this is our only alternative.

Oh, that's true.

Mm.

But it's only
until I get my hands

on Coop's second set of
accounting records,

and the settlement is final.

I couldn't believe you let that
slip like that the other day.

Oh, no, but thank you
for telling me.

You know, this whole thing
with Coop is rather intriguing.

Tell me...

Tell me about this patient
that he had the affair with.

Well... she was in a coma

when Coop fell in love with her,

if you can believe that.

He would sit by her bed,
and hold her hand,

and project
his fantasies onto her.

Then one day, Snow White woke up

and batted her big,
blue eyes at him,

and my poor excuse for a husband
jumped into bed with her.

I couldn't compete.

I was alive.

So did this Snow White
have a name?

Yeah, Kimberly something.

Kimberly?

Not Kimberly Shaw?

Yes, Kimberly Shaw...
Did you know her?

She was a doctor
at Wilshire Memorial.

She was married to Michael.

Well, now that seems like
a strange coincidence.

Well, what are the odds?

Coop's on staff
at Wilshire Memorial

partnering with Michael?

You don't think
that Coop came here

for some other reason
besides me?

Could be.

Man.

Coop really scares me sometimes.

You watch out for him, Peter.

Yeah, don't worry...
I can take care of myself.

I'm a big boy.

I can take care of you too.

Want to know where I've been?

No. I've been in therapy.

I'm making leaps and bounds

Now... right now,
I'm locked up in purgatory,

but I can easily be paroled
for good behavior

if you'd just give me a chance.

Yes, anything to avoid
going to Hell.

Right, Michael? Exactly, Megan.

I've seen the light!

I'm in touch with
my inner child.

And what I've come to realize
is that I love you dearly.

You're my soul,
my life, my inspiration.

Look, you can hit me with all

the psychobabble
you want, Michael.

I'm not gonna change
my mind... it's over.

Come on... deep down,
you know I can change,

or you wouldn't still
be working with me.

She won't be.

Megan's given
her two-week notice,

which is too bad
because she's really good

at taking care of all of us.

Yeah, I probably know more

about the three of you
than I want to.

And that's what makes you
so helpful.

Do you mind?
This is between me and my wife.

Hey, I got marital problems
of my own.

Last thing I want is
somebody else's baggage.

Excuse me.

Megan...

Burns/Mancini/Cooper.

Megan... it's Eric Baines.

Um, hello, Mr. Baines.

Will you please call me Eric?

Of course, Eric.

Listen, I was wondering

if you'd like to have dinner
with me on Friday night?

Friday? Um...

I'd have to check my schedule.

It's not in front of me...
Can I get back to you on that?

Of course.

But, you know, I have to admit...

I won't back down
until you say yes.

Okay.

I'll let you know.

Bye.

That was the jerk who shoved me
last night, wasn't it? Huh?

What did he want?
It's none of your business.

I'm going to lunch.

Here I am baring my soul to you,
and you're dating?

You know what?
Don't try snooping in my desk.

My diary's at home... locked.

I'd like the flowers
delivered to Megan's office

every day of the week
until I tell them to stop.

Okay? Yes, sir.

Hi, there.

What are you doing here?

Oh, just making
myself comfortable.

I couldn't help but overhear

that you're still using
that same old

send-them-flowers-
every-day trick.

You should know better by now.

It doesn't work
with every woman.

No, it just
didn't work with you.

Otherwise...

Otherwise, I think
I'd be batting . .

Well, I'm not so sure
you'll be hitting

a home run with
Megan Mancini either.

She's a knockout,
don't you think?

She's married.

And if you're gonna date,
you should find someone

who didn't just split
from her husband a month ago.

Jealous?

Not in the least.

Now, if you don't mind,
I have work to do,

so make yourself comfortable
someplace else.

After all, this is my office.

Hi. Hey.

More of McBride's finest?

No, it's, uh...

it's for you actually.

For me? Yeah.

Mr. Max!

My parents sent him.

It's for the baby.

That is so sweet.

Can I call them and thank them?

Sure.

So how much longer
do we have to wait

for that paternity test?

- It should be any day now.
- Good.

You know what'd be nice?

If you gave the baby this.

I know when I was a kid,

the gifts that meant
the most to me

were the ones
that my father gave me.

I guess I could do that.

The truth is
it's hard not having

a man in my life right now.

I feel very alone.

And I know this
has been weird for you,

but you've been so great,
and I'm so lucky to have you.

Amanda is too.

Kyle, you gotta
be patient with her

because this has gotta be
rough on her.

Maybe you should take her out
to a romantic dinner

or buy her lingerie
like you used to do for me.

You know what? I don't need
you or anybody else

how to handle my life.

Great time for you

Hey, face it...
Your time has run out.

You're not pregnant,

it's too late to get pregnant,

way too out of hand.

Kyle's gonna accept the truth?

No, but at least it'll rid you

Michael, no need

I know what you're doing here.

It's no big deal.

I gotta confess...
I was in therapy once myself.

Yeah, no kidding?

Yeah.

I lost a patient in surgery.

I tried using the cauterizer
to seal the puncture,

and the damn thing
slipped right out of my hands.

The guy d*ed right there
on the table.

Man, that's tough.

And you're right,
those cauterizers,

they're... they're
so damn clumsy.

Yeah... wouldn't
it be great if someone

could invent an instrument
that's less cumbersome?

Like, maybe some kind of...
I don't know,

a... a glove or maybe a...

Maybe some kind
of finger attachment.

on the third floor.

Hey, I gotta finish rounds.

Good luck with therapy, Michael.

Yeah, thanks.

♪ ♪

In summation, the new cauterizer

is essentially
a fingerless glove

covering only the palm
and the pinky,

the tip of the pinky being used
as the actual cauterizer,

leaving the rest of the fingers
free for surgical procedures.

So what you're saying is
this new whatever-it-is

can stop the bleeding with
just the touch of a finger?

Like God reaching out
his finger to Adam.

And where'd you get that idea,
the Sistine Chapel?

It came to me in surgery.

I thought you still
couldn't operate.

Well, before the accident.

Michael, I have to admit...

I think it's great
that you try to better yourself,

Oh, Kyle.

Such a great place.

just those memories.

Thanks for listening, Kyle.
Yeah.

Every time I turn around,
one of your ex-lovers pops up.

If you mean Taylor,
that problem's not going away.

Right, because the problem's
not the pregnancy... it's Taylor.

She wants you back,

at nothing

Just the other night,

she expressed concern about you,

so you're the one

and you're acting paranoid.

Taylor is not up to anything.

And if she was,
I would see it coming

a million miles away.

But nothing is coming,
so just let it go.

I don't wanna fight.

It's just hard
to figure you out sometimes.

Yeah, well,
maybe that's my fault.

I mean...

sometimes, it's easier
to keep things under wraps.

the Boston restaurant today.

from underneath me so fast,

a little time alone.

You know, do me a favor...
Next time, don't think for me.

Why are you acting like this?

Taylor slipped on her own...
She missed a step.

Yeah, and so did you
when you lied to her.

Oh, for God's sake,
it's not like

I pushed her down the stairs.

Might as well have.

I need a drink.

♪ ♪

Mm-hmm?

Hey, partner.

Hey.

By the way
you're holding that pen,

it seems your hands
are healing nicely.

Oh, you know, I guess

I was just so wrapped up
in what I was doing

'cause ow.

You know, speaking of pens,

I've been thinking a lot
about our conversation,

and I think I might
just have an idea

for a new
cauterizing instrument.

Really?

Yeah.

I think I got it figured out.

Uh, a fingerless,
glove-like device

where one finger actually
serves as a cauterizer.

It's awkward, clumsy.

Bad idea.

Gee, thanks for the opinion.

Oh, all I'm
saying is it won't work.

Besides, if it was
such a good idea,

someone would have
thought of it already, right?

Listen, um, are you going
back to the office?

Yeah. Great.

Megan needs these
requisitions immediately.

All right.

Oh... thanks, partner.

You bet.

Hello? Yeah, where's Craig?

I might want to take
you up on your offer

to finance my invention.

Leave everything to me.

Information.

Hi, I need the number
for Seaside Cruise Lines.

I... I hope I'm not
disturbing you.

Well, actually,
I was just leaving.

Kyle told me about the baby.

I'm so sorry.

Well, truthfully,
it's just a little too painful

to talk about right now.

I understand.

Listen, I was feeling
a lot of anger towards you,

and sometimes, I don't consider

what other people
are going through,

and I tend to only
see things from my side.

Well, I guess we all
do that sometimes.

Um... can I give you
a ride home?

Sure... why not?

That would be nice.

Oh, oh, oh! There he is.

Excuse me!

Craig!

Jennifer... what are
you doing here?

I came to see you off,

but by the looks of things...

Yeah, what's going on?

We were all set to board
when the cruise director

announced that we are
being delayed.

Someone placed
an anonymous phone call

claiming there was an infectious
disease on board.

So why are you here, Michael?

No, no, we're here because...

Michael wants you.

He needs you.

He's got this great idea
for a medical invention,

and he just needs capital,

and he realizes that
you're the best person...

The... the... the only person...
To go into business with.

Yeah, I really
do need you, Craig.

And it'd be a chance to do
some good for humanity

and get rich in the process.

And it's just what you need
to get your life back on track,

and I'll help
with whatever you need,

and I promise I won't ask
for anything

more than just a friendly smile.

Well, the truth is

I don't know anything
about the medical field.

Well, of course not...
I'll handle the technical side.

All you have to do
is be a salesman.

Well, there's a lot of things
that I want out of life...

but an infectious disease
is not one of them.

So, um, partners?

Partners.

Yeah.

♪ ♪

I'm glad you finally
agreed to see me.

Well, I just felt bad
because some florist

would have been in business
for a long time if I...

If I hadn't said yes.

Whatever it takes to get
a beautiful woman to say yes.

God, I'm not used
to all these compliments.

Oh, come on,
Michael didn't tell you

how gorgeous you are
on a regular basis?

Actually, you know,
I'd rather not talk

about Michael if you don't mind.

Oh.

Well, he's not exactly
my favorite subject either.

I'm sorry I brought him up.
Mm, it's okay.

You know, we'll have a lot more
pleasant things to talk about

when I get back
from powdering my nose.

All this blushing has made me
a little self-conscious.

Hey, sorry to hear
about your Boston restaurant.

That's a tough break.

So who told you
I lost the Boston restaurant?

Oh, uh... I guess
Amanda said something.

It's... it's really a shame.

Well... finally something
we agree on.

You know, I have
to admit I had no idea

you were such a romantic.

Well, you learn something new
every day, sweetheart.

The more I learn,
the more I love you...

which is why I don't want
to do anything

to jeopardize you and your
position at the agency.

What do you mean?

I heard some people talking,

and they think that
the only reason I got the job

is because I'm your girlfriend.

Honey... you were hired
because of your talent...

just like everyone else.

Billy, you don't
have to protect me.

I... I don't want to be

the girlfriend problem
at your office.

Fine, you won't be
my girlfriend.

You'll be my wife...

'cause the truth is...

before, when you suggested
that we get married,

I was so stupid
for not agreeing with you.

I don't know what I was
thinking 'cause I love you.

I do.

Samantha... will you marry me?

There is nothing I would rather
do in the whole wide world

than walk down the aisle
with you, Mr. Billy Campbell.

I love you!

Oh, my God.

Wasn't sure you were
gonna stay here tonight.

Yeah, well.

And Taylor told me what you did
for her today... thanks.

Actually, it helped me too.

Glad to hear it.

♪ ♪

I saw Eric tonight.

You know, I think
you should go downstairs

and see Taylor.

She's really hurting.

Could use a shoulder to cry on.

If that's what you want.

Thanks for a wonderful evening.

You're welcome.
