07x22 - The Shower

[bunniefuu]

She's been doing that
most of the night.

She hasn't done that
since she was an infant.

- Was she restless?
- Yes, very. All night.

- You should have called me.
- She finally fell asleep about : .

- Mommy.
- Oh, hello, darling.

- Do you feel okay?
- I'm tired, Mommy.

I know. I want you
to get some rest today, okay?

All right, Mommy.

Mrs. Johnson, call me
if Kristina ever needs anything.

Mrs. Carrington, I have taken care
of children for a long time now.

Don't you think you're being
overly protective?

Overly protective?
I'll decide what's best for my daughter.

Now, close your eyes.
Get some sleep.

[GRUNTlNG]

You lied to me.

Repeat it after me, Michael.

"l am Adam Carrington."

Say it for me so I can make peace.

I am

Adam Carrington.

I am Adam Carrington.

I am Adam Carrington.

Liar. Oh.

You lied.

Liar. You lied to me.

You lied!

Adam?

It was just a nightmare.

Well, listen, I wanna talk to you.

I've got a hangover,
I'm not in the mood to talk right now.

Adam,
what is happening between us?

Oh, not a scene, I hope.

I am definitely not in the mood
for a scene.

Well, I am talking about the way
you acted with me last night.

I couldn't sleep all night because of it.

That, and because I'm so worried
about you, Adam.

I mean, all the things you said,
and the way you were drinking--

Which probably accounts
for some of the things I said.

Look, Dana,
don't you have to go to work?

I want to lose myself
under a hot shower for a long time.

- Adam, please don't treat me this way.
- Treat you what way, Dana?

It's morning. In the morning
people take showers, they go to work.

Oh, would you stop it?

Adam, what does it take for me
to get through to you?

I am not your enemy.

I am the woman you asked
to be your wife.

Except I'm not your husband yet.

You don't own me yet.

I still live my own life.

I still do and say what I want
without apologising to the world for it.

Is that clear?

Very clear.

Adam...

I love you.

And I love you.

Maybe we can chalk this up
as a lovers' quarrel?

Nesides, I really do have a hangover.

It's a lousy excuse, I know,
but it's the truth.

Okay?

Sure.

[DOOR CLOSES]

SARAH:
Good morning, Nlake.

Oh, Sarah,
how are you this morning?

A lot better than last night,
if that's what you mean.

- Well, I didn't mean to imply anything.
- You don't have to dance around it.

Yesterday, I wanted to end my life.

NLAKE: Well, I didn't intend for you--
SARAH: It's a fact, nothing to hide.

The important thing is that
thanks to Krystle, here I am, alive,

ready to fight back all the way,
and I will.

Well, Sarah, I don't mean to interfere,
but have you thought about

the possibility of getting
some professional help?

If you're talking about therapy,

or some sort of grief counselling,
I don't need it.

Where I come from,
we handle these things ourselves.

All right.

Again, I just want you to know
how pleased we are

to have you as our guest.

The guest from Wyoming.

Our friend from Wyoming.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

You know,
Dex has talked so much about you,

I'm really anxious to get to know you.

Good. Incidentally, if you ever feel
that you wanna get out of the house

and do some sightseeing,

just tell Gerard
and he'll get you a driver and a car.

No, no, I'd rather stay here now,
be close to Krystle and Kristina.

Nut thank you, anyway.

Thank you.

The maps aren't there because
I brought them home to study them.

Well, that's very admirable,
but I'd like to see them.

- So bring them by when you check in.
- Yes.

What? I'm sorry, I must have
a bad connection. What'd you say?

Heh. I said yes.
What'd you expect me to say?

"Yes, sir"? "Yes, Mr. Fallmont?"

[LAUGHS]

Yes, Clay.
All right, I'll see you at work. Nye.

Morning, Dad.

Getting pretty friendly with Fallmont,
aren't you?

Are you ever gonna tell me
what you really have against him?

Why don't you just enjoy
your breakfast?

You know, there are some people
who enjoy talking over breakfast.

Well, this morning,
I am not one of them, Leslie.

Especially when the subject
is the Fallmonts, right?

What is it, Dad?

I'll tell you exactly what it is.

I've learned that it's best
if you work with someone,

not to have any kind
of social relationship.

Null.
Well, I'm sorry, I just don't buy that.

Dad, you don't even know Clay.

Okay, so you know his father.

Is it Senator Fallmont
you have something against?

I don't like the man,
but no, it's not that.

I'm jealous.

I'm a jealous new father.

I haven't had my daughter back
in my life for very long

and she starts to run around
with this young good-looking guy

without even giving me a chance
to let her know how much I love her.

Dad, there's room enough
for both of you in my life.

You should know that.

When it comes to being a father,

no matter how tall your daughter gets,
she's still a baby.

Well, it's time for this tall kid
to get to work.

Oh, there's a bridal shower
for Dana tonight.

I'll be home after that. Bye.

- Sarah.
SARAH: Oh, hi, Dominique.

It's so good to see you.

I heard you were here,
that Krystle brought you back.

Yes, Krystle brought me back
after I tried to k*ll myself.

- Look, Sarah, l--
- Don't be embarrassed, please. I'm not.

It was just a stupid mistake,
and I'm having to face up to it.

I owe it to myself,
and I owe it to the two people I loved,

and I owe it to their memories.

Nut life goes on, doesn't it?

Yes, and I'm glad
that you're here with us.

Thank you, that's very sweet.

- Good morning.
- Morning.

Mommy, doesn't Valez look nice
this morning?

- Yes, very nice.
- I gotta go take him in now.

Okay. There you go, cowboy. Unh.

You weren't there
when I got up this morning.

Yeah, I decided
to go for an early ride.

Well, I know you're an early person,
but you must have left at least by .

Yeah, I did.

I just wanted to get out of the house
for a little while, get some time to think.

I'm sorry for what happened last night.
It wasn't fair to you.

Oh, Sammy Jo,
you don't have to apologise.

You didn't do anything wrong.

Well, we made a bargain
and I broke the rules.

I promise it won't happen again.

Adam, in case you forgot,

we had a breakfast meeting
this morning, which you missed.

A power meeting with Mother.

Strikes me as being a little bizarre,
somehow.

Is this your way of apologising?

Ny getting drunk
and being cute with me.

Mother, I have a hangover.
I think I'm allowed once in a while,

just as I'm allowed to miss a meeting,
just as I'm allowed to take the day off.

Oh, really? So you're not going
to the office today, hm?

You got it, Mother.

I'm celebrating the new me,
if you like.

Speaking of celebrating, Adam,

why the hell did you invite
Neal McVane to the party last night?

You know I despise that creep.

I didn't invite him.
He sort of inveigled his way in.

- And you had nothing to do with it?
- No.

Nelieve a convicted m*rder*r
or believe me, take your choice.

- Scotch on the rocks, please.
- Nothing, thank you.

Adam, this is not like you.
This is not like you at all.

A bit of rebellion, Mother?

No.

I think you're playing
a little game with me.

You think you know me very well,
don't you?

Mm-hm.

Well, Alexis Colby, you don't.

Goodbye, Adam.

- I won, Mommy.
- Ha, ha. You sure did.

You've made just about
the tallest building in all of Denver.

- I'll be right back, darling.
- Okay.

KRYSTLE: Sarah.
- Yes?

Why didn't you come in?

I used to play with Cathy all the time.
I loved being alone with my daughter.

And I just didn't want to inv*de
on your time with yours.

Oh. You mustn't ever think that.

Necause without you, l--

I wouldn't have
these special moments with Kristina.

- Well, still--
- Please, come back in with me.

I'd like that. And so would Kristina.

- So would l.
- Good.

Later, while she's taking her nap,
we could have lunch.

After that,
why don't you come riding with me?

Oh, great. That sounds great.

[DOOR OPENS]

Somebody send you
a belated Christmas present?

It's for Dana's
surprise shower tonight.

Oh, yeah.

Sammy Jo's all excited about that.
In fact, everybody in the family seems

to be pleased with this marriage,
including you.

Yes, Dana's a very likeable girl,

and she is contributing
to Adam's happiness.

Which is one of the reasons
that I've asked to see you.

Why, is something wrong?

Yes, something is very wrong,
Steven.

I just left Adam this morning,
and he was drinking heavily.

Something's obviously troubling him,
and I don't know what it is. Do you?

No, I don't.

Well, I need your help
to try and get to the bottom of things.

Well, Mother, Adam's his own man.
He might not appreciate my interfering.

Well, I know that, but you and he
have become closer recently.

Thanks to Dana.
She's been wonderful.

Yes, but right now it's your brother,
and only your brother

that I'm concerned with.
He really needs your help, Steven.

- What do you think?
- Mm. Very good.

That niece of yours is something else.
She's really quite extraordinary.

Well, Leslie's a Carrington,
isn't she?

Blake, about Sarah.

I think it's great the way
that you and Krystle have taken her in.

I have known Sarah
since we were kids.

And I should have read
what was going to happen.

- I mean, her su1c1de attempt.
- Well, how could you know?

Those signals are difficult to read.

They're given,
but we don't always see them.

How is she, Blake?

I'm not sure.
Outwardly, she seems to be all right.

I mean, putting her life back in order.

Nut I noticed something about her
this morning.

She has kind of a desperate facade,
holding everything back in.

Yeah, that's Sarah. Ne strong,
be brave, don't show your sorrow.

The important thing for now is that
Krystle is being a fantastic friend to her.

Yes, but Krystle is a new friend.

Now, you, you're an old friend.

I think you could help Sarah more
than anyone.

Oh!

- How do you like riding my horse?
- Oh, she is wonderful.

I'm from just outside Laramie,
what's your excuse?

- For what?
- For being such a good rider.

I thought you said
you were from Dayton, Ohio.

Heh. Yes, but I spent every
summer on my grandparent's farm.

Up at the cr*ck of dawn.

Helping with breakfast
and some chores.

And then my reward of rewards
was riding all afternoon

and helping out in the stable.

As a matter of fact, I helped birth this
horse I'm on, a couple years ago.

She is a beauty.

Oh, God.

I'll tell you, I can't tell you how many
foals I helped birth in my lifetime.

You know,
we've got a lot in common, Krystle.

In fact...

In fact, what?

That night,
that terrible night in California,

when I got off the plane with Nlake and
they were rushing Cathy to the hospital,

and I saw you standing, waiting for us,
it was dark, but I could see your eyes.

It was like the sister
I never had before.

The closest friend left to me
on this earth.

And that's what you've been
to me since, a sister.

Yes, we do have a lot in common.

Like our beautiful little daughters.

-YELLS]

[lNAUDlBLE DlALOGUE]

- Dr. Edwards.
- Dana.

Thank you.

- Would you like some coffee?
- No, thank you.

I would like to thank you for agreeing
to see me before you left for home.

You said you needed my help.
That's what doctors are for.

Even ageing doctors like me, huh?

[CHUCKLES]

What I want most from you
is for you to be honest with me.

I've always tried to be that.

When we spoke earlier,

you didn't seem to approve
of my marriage to Adam. Why not?

I don't disapprove.
I'm simply, well, caught by surprise.

Oh, I don't think that's all there is to it.
In fact, I know it isn't.

That's a rather rude
and uncalled for remark, Dana.

Well, is that why you look upset
right now?

Or is it because I've hit a nerve?

I have to know, Dr. Edwards.

Well, there a few things
I know about him that...

That, what?

I'm afraid you'll have
to get your answers from him.

As Adam's physician,
I must respect rules of confidentiality.

As Adam's physician.

When we were in high school,
I remember Adam missed a semester.

Now, people said
that he was having a breakdown

and that you were treating him for it.

Is that what's happening again?

Please tell me, Dr. Edwards.

I'm talking about Adam.

I'm talking about a lifetime
of loving him.

I'm sorry, Dana.

It's Adam who'll have to answer
your questions.

You're not helping me at all.

I am drowning with him,
and you're just standing by watching it.

I wish I could help, but I can't.

[SlGHS]

I don't have time for any of this.
I'm very worried about my son.

You'd better take the time, Alexis.

[SlGHS]

All right.
You have exactly one minute.

Nut I didn't agree to keep you posted
on my business moves.

We're not talking about
just any moves here.

I'm the one who introduced you
to Dirk Maurier, remember?

Yes, and I repaid you
on the Four Crossings Deal,

and I owe you nothing.

Alexis, nobody dumps me that easily.

Now, I have hard information
that you and Maurier

are negotiating without me,
and I want in.

Oh. What sort of hard information?

Who've you been paying
to spy on me?

It's true then, isn't it?

Your minute is up,
and you and I are finished.

Through.

- Through?
MlCHAEL: Oh, yes.

Nut I told her
not to be so sure about that.

Listen, Alexis Colby will use you
till she's done,

and then she'll spit you out.

I know. She did it to me once.

Once. Nut she'll never do it again.

So, Culhane,
you're ready to talk business.

That's right. I wanna be a part
of whatever deal you have in mind.

- Are you sure about that?
- Very sure.

Because it'll cost.

Don't worry about the money.

I know where
I can get my hands on plenty.

Now, wait a minute.

You're telling me that you suddenly
wanna sell back to me

- your share of the crater. Why?
- Why not?

- I have no further quarrels with you.
- I see.

Nesides, those natural gas deposits
at the crater

could be very important to Colorado,
as well as the rest of the country.

And you, Michael Culhane,
don't wanna stand in my way.

- Is that it?
- Exactly.

So I'm willing to take
what you offered me

for my share in the crater,
and get out of your way.

Is there a problem?

There usually is
where you're concerned,

with members of my family
or in business.

Look, I have been out of Fallon's life
for a long time now.

And as for Amanda,
she's gone off to Europe.

I don't think it's necessary to get into
that history. Let's talk about now.

You have muscled your way to where
you are today by using everybody.

What I really should do is to bring you
back down and make you crawl.

Nut I'll be honest with you,
I'm so happy to get you out

that I'll pay you exactly what it cost you
in the first place.

That's very generous of you.

Yes, I know.

Now, I'm busy.
Get the hell out of here.

[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES]

[SlGHS]

All right if I come in?

Yes. Of course.

Do you forgive me for last night
and this morning?

Of course I do.

You are so lovely
when you accept an apology.

[CHUCKLES]

Has anyone
ever told you that before?

- Oh, dozens of men.
- I'm jealous.

And I'm miserable
for what I've put you through.

For what you're putting
yourself through, Adam.

Dana, please,
let's not start that again.

All right, all right.

It's just that I'm not the only one who's
worried about you. Dr. Edwards is...

What about him?

Nothing.

Have you been talking
to that old man?

I saw him for a few minutes today.

What did he say about me?
What did he tell you?

Nothing.

- If you have a secret, Adam--
- There are no secrets.

Will you ever understand that?

There is something wrong, Adam,
and it scares me.

Can you understand that?

Whatever it is, don't you think
it's about time you shared it with me?

Please.

Something is bothering me,
and it scares me too.

Nut I don't want you
to worry about it.

Because I swear, l--

I'm gonna make it right.

I am.

"Cinderella and the prince
lived happily ever after on his ranch."

I thought they lived in a castle.

Well, he had both. How about that?

- You're funny, Mrs. Curtis.
- Ha, ha. So are you.

Hello, sweetheart.

- Hi, Mommy.
- Hi.

Sarah, where's Mrs. Johnson?

She asked me
to sit with this little treasure

while she went on a coffee break.

Actually,
it's been a pretty long break.

Nut I haven't minded.
We've had a great time, haven't we?

Yes.

Mrs. Johnson, I'd like to speak to you
outside for a minute.

Now, what kind of animals
do you suppose Cinderella and...

What seems to be the problem,
Mrs. Carrington?

You were due back here
quite a while ago.

You know my daughter might need
professional care at any given moment.

I'm aware of that, Mrs. Carrington.

I'm also aware
your daughter was not alone,

that I was in the kitchen,
not off in town somewhere.

And that if there'd have been
a problem,

Mrs. Curtis would have called me
on the intercom.

I am not interested
in the geography of this house.

I'm only interested
in my daughter's health.

I won't overstay my break again.

Please don't.

We could lay the pipe here,
and we could bridge it over here.

- You don't wanna do that.
- What don't I wanna do?

- Leave the pipe exposed.
- It's solid steel. Why not?

It's environmentally offensive.

Oh, that's right. I forgot I was working
with a woman engineer.

Well, why don't we just paint it
a shade of pastel?

Ooh, sounds great.

You could even have one
of your groupies pick out the shade.

- Ha. What groupies?
- Oh, come on.

Those girls that drive out here
every afternoon to ogle you.

Oh, yeah, them.

Well, maybe they think
I'm kind of cute.

You don't?

Eh. Ha, ha.

Looks don't do it for me. Brains do.

Well, I'm all for brains,

but the idea of a little sex
never turned me off.

Come here.

[CHUCKLES]

Uh, Sammy Jo. Ahem.
What are you doing here?

Leslie has the other key
to Dana's apartment

and we need it
to start the decorations.

Oh. Sorry I forgot to give it to you.

Well, ahem, ladies, if you'll excuse me,
I've gotta see a man about a pipe.

- Thank you.
- Do you mind if I get personal?

How personal?

Why did you and Clay break up?

Well, it's kind of complicated.

Nut I guess you could say
I fell out of love with him.

Ah.

Did he, uh, also
fall out of love with you?

I think you should ask him that
yourself.

Maybe sometime
when you're not working.

Oh. Sammy Jo, it was just a kiss.

Relax. Our marriage was annulled.
Clay is back in circulation.

I'm perfectly happy
with my life right now.

See you tonight.

[SlGHS]

- Hello?
- I'm sorry, Mr. McVane isn't here--

Mr. McVane is expecting me.

I see.

Thank you.

Mr. Torrance.

[CHUCKLES]

You're wasting your time.

Those negatives you're looking for,
they're certainly not in here.

I'll k*ll you, McVane.

I see you've been drinking.

Heh. I hope it wasn't my better stock.

Damn you.

Let me tell you something.

That evidence
that I described to you,

along with that
there's a letter to my attorney.

If anything ever happens to me,

how long do you think
your secret will be safe?

Now, with your cooperation,
I'll keep your secret.

Nut no matter what you do
for the rest of your life,

it won't make you a Carrington.

You never were, Mr. Torrance.

You never will be.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[DOOR OPENS]

- Oh, Dex.
- Just hold on, Sarah.

Hold on.

- Nack home yesterday--
- I know, I know, I heard.

But that's past now.

You're here. You're safe.

I feel safe, I really do, l...

You'll be living here for a while.

I don't know how long exactly,
but I'll stay here for a while.

Good.

Now, how about having dinner
with an old friend tonight?

Go out?

I might not be the best company
in the world.

You'll sure be the best-looking.

I mean, I didn't campaign
for you to be prom queen for nothing.

Except I didn't win.

The vote was rigged.

Okay for tonight?

Yes.

You're sweet, Dex.

Sammy Jo,
what are you doing here?

- I came by to pick up Dana's present.
- Ah. What did you get her?

It's a negligee
from the hotel boutique.

Yes, they do
do rather good things there.

Sammy Jo, since you're here,
I wanna ask you something about, uh...

About Steven living with you.

Go on. You don't usually hesitate
about anything.

- What exactly is it you wanna know?
- Is he happy?

He's always happy
when he's with Danny. You know that.

What about when he's with you?

We share a son, Alexis.
We share a lot of good memories.

Oh, I know,
but is that all you're sharing?

I don't think that's your business.

Steven's happiness
is always my business, Sammy Jo.

Anyway,
I'll see you later at the shower.

If I'm a bit late, tell the others
that I'll be along as soon as I can.

[SlREN WAlLlNG]

Now, the first thing,
hand me that flask.

And then let me see your licence
and registration.

SAMMY JO:
That's so pretty.

You have a wonderful touch,
Dominique.

Thank you.

You know, when Nrady and l
were married, we were so poor

the only bridal shower I had was
inches of rain on my wedding day.

What is that old cliche?

"Happy is the bride
that the sun shines on."

Well, we were happy.
We were for a while.

Then it all fell apart.

Well, that's the way it goes.

You never know
how a marriage will end.

That's right,
you never do know, do you?

Sammy Jo, have I said something to
upset you? Necause I didn't mean to.

No, no, it's not that.
It's just that I've gotta tell someone.

Well, what is it?

It's about Steven.

I'm sure you know he's living
at the ranch with Danny and me.

- Yes.
- Nut we sleep in separate rooms.

And I want it to work out differently.

It worked with us before,
and we were very happy.

And Steven is Danny's father.

Fathers and mothers.
I know what you mean, Sammy Jo.

It's a very special bond between a man
and a woman, parenthood.

Unfortunately, sometimes,
that bond just isn't enough.

And believe me, Sammy Jo,
I know what I'm talking about.

[DOOR OPENS]

DOMlNlQUE: Oh! Hi. Oh.
- Hi.

- Thanks.
DOMlNlQUE: It's beautiful.

- Doesn't it look great?
DOMlNlQUE: Oh, yes.

- Oh. She looks delicious.
SAMMY JO: Yeah.

LESLlE: I hope she loves it.
SAMMY JO: Oh, she will.

Good evening. Thank you, George.

- Hello, darling.
- Hi.

- Have a good day?
- Mm-hm.

- How's Kristina?
- Oh, she's fine.

And very happy to hear that her daddy

- was coming home from work early.
- Ha, ha.

- Krystle.
- Yes, Sarah, what is it?

- Kristina's developed a rash.
- A rash?

The doctor said to watch
for anything out of the ordinary.

Let's have a look.

Mrs. Johnson,
how long has Kristina had this rash?

- It appeared a little while ago.
- A little while ago?

KRYSTLE: Dr. Chadway, please.
Krystle Carrington calling.

Mrs. Johnson, it's now : ,

there haven't been any notations
made on this chart since noon.

I have my own way of doing things,
Mr. Carrington.

Does that also include disregarding
any vital information on my daughter?

Well, that's gross negligence.

I have not been negligent.
I know what's best for this child.

Nut I am not prepared
to take this kind of abuse.

In that case,
you won't mind leaving this house.

No, I'll be more than happy to go.

The doctor will be right over.

Darling, I'm sorry to have created
such a big to-do.

I've been wanting to do that all day.

- Thank you for being here, Sarah.
- I'm happy to be useful.

I'll go downstairs
and wait for the doctor.

- All right, sweetheart, back in bed.
- All right, Daddy.

NLAKE: All right, now close your eyes,
little one.

I forgot to ask.

Ask what?

How much do I owe you
for bailing me out?

- Call it a gift.
- Heh.

To celebrate what, Steven?

Oh, Dana's shower.
My secret present to the bridegroom.

Accepted?

- Adam?
- Hm?

Yeah, thanks.

Good girl. Nack under the covers.

There's really nothing to worry about.
The rash is just a minor irritation.

Oh. That's good to hear.

You can understand
why we were so concerned, doctor.

Yes, she's been overly tired lately.

That's normal for a recovery pattern.
She's doing beautifully.

That's very reassuring.

Nut call me
if anything seems at all unusual.

Yes. Yes, we will. Thank you.

I'll walk you out.

I'll be back in a minute, all right?

All right, Mommy.

I'll stay with her, Mrs. Carrington.
She'll be just fine.

Won't you, darling? Hm?
Of course you will.

Krystle, how is Kristina?

- The doctor said she's all right.
- Oh, good.

I'm calling the nurses' registry.
We'll need someone right away.

If you have any problem
trying to find somebody,

I'd be happy to watch her.

And if you wanna go
to Dana's shower--

No. I wouldn't feel comfortable
anywhere but here tonight.

But thank you for the offer.

She's very special to me, Krystle.

She's all that I have left of Cathy.

I know.

Oh, we'll miss you.
Yes, I'll tell the others.

Nye-bye, darling.

Well, Krystle sends her apologies,
but she's had a problem with Kristina.

Oh, nothing serious, I hope.

No, she said it was minor,
but she just didn't wanna leave her.

- Alexis, what did you buy for Dana?
- Mm?

Oh, I bought her the most beautiful
vermeil dressing-table set

that used to be owned
by Madame Pompadour.

Louie XV's mistress?

Oh, that's very good, Dominique,
very good.

Actually, I heard that the old man
wasn't such a great lover after all.

Of course, she told you this herself.

Ha-ha-ha. No, dear, I'm very friendly

with her great-great-great-great niece,
the Comtesse de Vigny,

and she's an expert
on the family of Louis XV.

Oh.

WOMAN:
Shh, shh!

ALL:
Surprise!

Goodness.
Somebody should've warned me,

I would've been more prepared.

Come on, everybody.
Dana, have a glass of champagne.

Everybody have champagne?

- Dominique, there's one for you.
DOMlNlQUE: Thank you.

One for you.
Has everybody got a glass?

All right,
now I would like to propose a toast.

To the lovely girl who is soon
going to marry my handsome son.

- Cheers.
ALL: Cheers.

Thank you.

DOMlNlQUE: May you have a long
and wonderful life together.

DANA:
Oh, thank you.

[WOMEN GlGGLlNG
AND CHATTERlNG]

How you feeling?

Sober, almost.

A bit more coffee would help.

Adam...

Why are you on this binge?

I don't wanna talk about it, Steven.

Well, I wanna talk about something.

I'm glad you called me today.

Are you?

Neing dragged away from what you
were doing, having to bail me out.

No, I am glad.

I told Dana how we've always been
at each other's throats,

treated each other more as strangers
than as brothers,

but how that's changing.

What did Dana say about me?

[LAUGHS]

- Nothing too bad.
- Steven, would you excuse me?

- I've just remembered something.
- Where are you going?

There's something I've gotta do.

[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES]

What can I tell you? It's not
the first time I've been stood up.

I'm sorry,
I know I forgot about dinner,

but with the excitement
about Kristina this afternoon--

Come on, I understand.
I understand.

Look, we still have time
to make it to that steak house.

- Uh...
- Sarah.

All right,
as long as it's not too far from here.

I don't wanna be away from Kristina
too long, okay?

I'll go get dressed.

[SlGHS]

Dana, are you sure
you don't need any help cleaning up?

I told everybody else,
I'm going to tell you now, no.

Nut thank you for coming
and for the wonderful gift. Ha, ha.

You're welcome.

Enter the lucky bridegroom.

Hello, Adam.

Well, I'd better get going.
I'll see you both later.

They didn't believe me,
but the shower really was a surprise.

Is that what they didn't believe,
Dana?

What do you mean?

Who else have you been talking to
about me?

Nesides Dr. Edwards, I mean,
and Steven and God knows who else.

What?

You been talking to my father too,
about how strangely I've been acting.

And told Mother
I've turned into a drunk.

- Adam, I don't know what it is--
- It won't work, Dana.

I can't pretend everything's fine
between us when I know it's not.

Have you stopped loving me?
Is that what's really wrong?

ADAM:
I don't know.

I'm not sure anymore.

I only know that I'm being smothered
by you, by everybody.

And I've got to get away.

- Adam, if it's the wedding--
- Wedding? What wedding?

There's not gonna be
any damned wedding.
