09x16 - If Not Now, When?

[bunniefuu]

I'm ready.

Ready for what?

To sleep with you.

I'm going to draft this letter with so much legal mumbo-jumbo,

maybe we can bluff Val into signing it.

Then you don't have any legal right to see those kids.

-What's going on? -My wife has been...

taping your conversations.

With me, with Greg Sumner, with God knows who else.

-I swear! -Val!

I'll leave, I'll leave the same way as Ben did!

[theme music]

[intriguing music]

Hey, come back to bed, wife-to-be.

It's cold under here without you.

-You gonna have to go home. -What?

Three o'clock in the morning.

You have to be gone before the kids get up.

They must be extremely early risers.

Oh! Oh, your-- your toes are cold.

My toes are perfect.

What's the matter with me?

Your toes are perfect.

[Abby chuckles]

Tell me.

I'm curious about one thing.

-My toes? -No.

Would you have agreed to marry me

if Judith hadn't made you so angry?

I'm curious about your curiosity.

Why?

Does it matter why I agreed to marry you?

Not in the least.

You still have to go home before the kids get up.

-[Patricia] Hi! -Oh, hi!

I hope I'm not interrupting breakfast.

-You're not. -[Karen] Good.

I just wanted to come by and invite

you and Julie to dinner.

Oh! Well, that's nice.

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

We're keeping her for a few days.

I didn't go to work today.

Mack and I are so exhausted taking care of her.

I don't know how you do it as a single parent.

Oh, well, that's...

I've been looking all over for you.

I didn't know someone was here.

This is our neighbor, Karen MacKenzie.

This is my husband, Frank.

-[Frank] Hi. -Hi.

-I guess I slept late. -[Patricia laughs]

[Karen laughs]

I-- I live next door.

I didn't know you were married.

I-- I never saw you move in.

Well, I arrived late last night.

I was taking care of our furniture.

Which hasn't arrived yet.

Oh, well, I won't keep you, I just--

Well, I was inviting your wife and Julie to dinner.

But I would love to have all of you.

Well, that's great! Thank you.

How about tomorrow night?

-Uh, well, maybe we should-- -That'll be fine with us, Karen.

What time?

Around 7:00.



Well, it was awfully good meeting you.

-Frank? -Yes.

-Yes. -[Patricia chuckles]

And welcome to the neighborhood.

-Thank you. -Bye-bye.

[Patricia] Bye.

That was not a very smart thing to do.

What?

We don't know anything about her.

I don't see what harm going out to dinner one time can do.

[intriguing music]

[seagulls squawking]

What are you doing here?

That's what I've been asking myself.

It just seemed like such a good idea last night.

You come home,

we make love like we used to.

Now it looks like what it is.

A pathetic gesture.

This isn't anyone's fault.

I only blame myself for not knowing when to let go.

But I'm finished with dramatic gestures, Charles.

No more incidents like the other night, I promise.

I'm sorry.

[intriguing music]

-[Brian] I'm tired of guessing. -You always make me guess.

-Now you said it's really great. -Mm-hmm.

-[Brian] Really, really? -Really, really.

And it's something we're all gonna like?

I think so.

We're having pizza, mashed potatoes

and spaghetti for dinner.

-How did you know? -Come on, Brian.

This is serious.

Does it have to do with Charles?

Are you getting married?

-Oh! -[Abby laughs]

-Do you have an attorney? -Aeneas.

Good.

Well, I thought since Horace was handling your side...

Right.

Aeneas is a good choice.

I called him this morning.

It was after 10:00 in New York and, uh...

I told him to go full speed ahead with the divorce.

Do you want the place in Connecticut?

Oh, yes.

I was counting on it, if you don't mind.

Fine.

I don't want the horses, though.

Can you have Horace find some place for them?

Sure.

Oh, and, um... can you also tell him

that Aeneas thought it would be a good idea

to keep this whole thing quiet for a while?

We may not want to file the papers

until the EMG acquisition is complete

and our holding company

has posted its first quarter earnings.

I told him that sounded perfectly reasonable to me,

so, um, you might have Horace call Aeneas,

if you have no problem with that.

-[Olivia] Mom! -[Abby] What?

-When is it going to happen? -[Abby] Soon.

-How soon? -[Abby] As soon as possible.

When's that?

Well, certainly not before you get dressed

to have your breakfast and get yourself to school on time

Now go on.

Mom! Oh, I think this is great!

You said my furniture would arrive here today.

Julie!

You also said you guys did not make mistakes.

Yeah, right, sure, thank you.

They say the furniture will be here tonight.

Good.

Right.

Julie, come on, honey, we're gonna to be late for school.

[Frank] Hey, I want a hug.

Oh, yeah. [laughs]

Hey, what's this?

Well, what's the matter?

Daddy, I don't want to go to school.

Why?

I don't know anyone here, and I don't like it.

[laughs] Baby, I don't know anyone here either,

but it's always fun to meet new friends.

-No, it isn't. -Yes, it is.

To-- tonight, we're gonna visit our new neighbors,

gonna have dinner with them. That'll be fun.

This is a great place to be, baby.

Okay?

Okay?

-Okay. -Okay.

Now let's go before we're late for school.

-Bye. -Daddy.

See you later, honey.

Isn't my mom's engagement great or what?

-So romantic. -Do you like him?

Charles is wonderful.

He's my mom's first love.

No matter how long they were apart,

they still both really loved each other.

So why did they break up the first time?

I guess he didn't realize how much he loved her.

It was awful for my mom when they broke up.

She didn't want to see anyone ever again.

But it's great how it worked out.

You know, I want a love like that.

Not someone who would leave me, I just--

I want someone who could never love anybody else.

When are they getting married?

Right away. They can't stand to be apart.

Oh. Oh!

O-- oh, oh, really, Horace?

Um, yes. What?

Oh, okay.

Yes, yes. For heaven's sake, yes! Yes!

All right. Well, just keep me informed.

All right. Goodbye.

Just going through the details.

Hmm. What's all this?

The most important part of the wedding.

The honeymoon. Mm. I can't wait.

Um, Greece, Rome, Tahiti?

Why not all of them?

Well, why wait till after the wedding? Let's take a trip now.

Sir, surely you would not have me sully my reputation

by consorting with a married man.

You said you couldn't wait.

Charles, I've waited 20 years.

I can wait a few more days until your divorce is final.

Well, it, uh, might take longer than a few days.

Why?

It's, uh, the first quarter report.

Charles, don't.

[Charles] Come on, Abby.

You're a businesswoman. You know about these problems.

We're in the process of acquiring EMG.

EMG?

[Charles] Eastern Mining Group.

Well, I could call it off, but I've...

already filed intent with the SEC.

Judith and I have equal shares in this investment group.

Well, if there was word of a divorce...

-Well, you know? -Oh, no, Charles.

I don't know. I don't know anything.

I don't even know if you intend to divorce your wife.

Oh, look, Abby, a little delay is not unreasonable.

And you do understand what's involved.

It's not as if I'm sleeping with my wife,

it's-- it's not as if there's any romantic--

It's not as if you're sleeping with me either, Charles.

Not until you get a divorce.

That's my Abby.

[Gary] I just want you to sign it, that's all.

Sign a piece of paper?

I don't understand.

This piece of paper I'm gonna send you

acknowledges that I'm the twins' father.

Why?

I love 'em.

The more I see 'em, the more I love 'em.

I-- I didn't plan on it.

I don't know if I expected to or not, I didn't think about it,

but... at night, I dream about losing 'em.

And you think that some piece of paper

is just gonna take care of all that?

No, no. I'm not-- I'm not equating my relationship

to them to a piece of paper.

I-- I...

I-- I just want to know that I'm connected to them.

Officially.

Why Ga-- I mean what are you-- Why no-- What are you doing?

Val, your permission has been so on again, off again.

It isn't fair to me.

Look, when Ben was here, I stayed away.

You know that. And now he's gone.

But what happens if he comes back again?

All of a sudden, you're gonna tell me I'm not their father?

And then he leaves and I am their father.

It can't work that way. I need some kind of assurance.

Assurance, not--

-Not custody. -No. No, no.

I-- I...

I just want some rights as a father.

So you can't say to me,

"Now you can, now you can't see them."

It's only fair.

-No. -What?

I can't, Gary, I'm sorry. I can't do that.

What do you mean, no? All I want you to do is--

I can't sign a piece of paper like that.

I just can't do it.

I can't.

[birds chirping]

There's a lot of EMG stock changing hands.

They were up a point and an eighth

when the market opened this morning.

Is it the stock we've been buying up?

Well, no.

No, we've been buying slowly

to hide our intent.

My God.

I hope no one leaked word of our takeover.

Don't see who could have.

[Greg] 20,000 shares of EMG for my holding company,



-I guess that makes us even. -Well, I guess it does.

[Karen] Laura's back door would always stick,

so I hired a man to fix it. I hope it's okay.

-[Patricia] Oh, it's fine. -[Karen] Oh, good.

The house is very comfortable, isn't it?

Have you heard anything about your furniture yet?

Well, they said it was misrouted.

Oh, that's awful.

Yeah, it's one thing to move into a new neighborhood,

but to lose your furniture, geez.

How long have you guys lived here in the neighborhood?

Well, I've lived here for nine years.

Yeah, and I married this lovely lady in '83.

-[Karen] Right. -So five years.

-Five years, honey. -Five years.

What about your other neighbors?

My best friend, Valene, she lives next door.

She has beautiful twins.

I bet Julie would make a wonderful babysitter.

-Do you like to babysit? -Ye-- yes.

Well, what if you help out

with Meg every now and then, huh?

Well, maybe after she gets to know everyone a bit better.

Well, one way of knowing the neighbors a little better

is to have a nice, juicy steak, and ours is about to burn.

-Anybody hungry? Let's go. -[Karen laughs]

[Karen] We can bring our glasses to the table. I'll help Mack.

Michael, get the salad from the refrigerator, okay?

-Come on. -Come on, honey.

[Mack] What line of work are you in, Frank?

-Sales. -[Mack] Sales?

You don't strike me as a salesman.

-No? -No.

Salesmen usually tell more jokes.

[laughing]

That's exactly what my customers say.

I sell chemicals, chlorine,

city water supplies, schools, you know, like that.

[Karen] Mm!

About the neighborhood, is it pretty safe?

Oh, well, we have to lock our doors, but it's pretty quiet.

As a matter of fact, it is so quiet that I forgot about Meg.

Michael, could you check her upstairs, please?

-Oh, yeah, sure. -Mm. I'll go with you.

What about the routine? How often is mail delivered?

Well, it's delivered pretty early, nine o'clock,

and, uh, the garbage is picked up on Thursdays.

Thursdays early.

How often are the meters read?

[Karen] Meters? Oh, jeez, I don't know.

Frank, I can call the city, honey. [laughs]

I mean, I should have brought a pencil and paper

to write all this down.

Is Mack such a stickler for details like this?

Mack? Well, actually, he is.

But I think it's because of his line of work.

What do you do?

-I thought we told you. -Mm-mm.

I'm a special investigator for the governor.

[Patricia] Uh-huh. What is that?

[Karen] Well, that is a cross between

a district attorney and a detective.

I'm very proud of Mack.

He's the best investigator in the state.

Well, thank you. I agree. [laughs]

-She's so cute. -Yeah.

[calm string music]

Come on, we better get back downstairs.

-Um, Michael? -Hmm?

Um, I've decided.

I'm ready.

Ready for what?

To, um, to sleep with you.

Jody?

Well, you do want to, don't you?

Well, what a question.

Of course I want to.

I'm so glad.

I mean, it was so hard for me to say.

I mean, I really want to, but I'm just not so sure

that it's the right thing to do.

Well, i-- i-- if you're worried about it being safe,

I mean, you don't have to, because I-- I've--

I've never slept with anyone else before.

It's not that at all.

Just say yes.

I know you're gonna say yes.

I have never met two more secretive people in--

Oh, just put them down anywhere, I'll get them.

Their daughter never talks.

I like them. I do. I really do.

But I just think it's-- Oh, Michael.

Could you, uh, babysit with Meg tomorrow night?

Mack and I have a fundraiser. We forgot about it.

-Okay. -Oh, I'd be glad to help.

Oh, good.

-That's great. -It's only babysitting.

I know.

I don't mean this.

And I know this is far-fetched,

but it's almost as if Pat and Frank have done something.

Robbed a bank. I don't know.

Kidnapped their daughter. Something.

-He's a cop. -What?

-He's a cop. -How do you know that?

-I don't know. I just know. -What do you mean, he's a cop?

-I'm sorry. -He sells chemicals.

The way he talks, the way he walks.

-The way he asks questions. -Oh, this is weird.

Why don't we just ask him?

No. That wouldn't do any good.

What do you mean, it wouldn't do any good?

-[Jill] A judge wouldn't care. -I can prove they're mine.

Gary, I spent all morning with an attorney

who specializes in family law.

Now, a biological father has two years

after the birth to pursue his rights.

-You're past that. -I didn't know it at the time.

It doesn't matter. The law is there to protect the kids.

Are you gonna help me with this or what?

Yes. I'm going to draft this letter

with so much legal mumbo-jumbo

that maybe we can bluff Val into signing it.

And if we can't?

Then you don't have any legal right to see those kids.

I gotta go.

He's just trying to bluff me.

He thinks I'll do anything he asks me to do just because...

once upon a time, I used to love him.

Oh.

I can't believe this is happening.

Yeah.

I've hired an attorney.

If he doesn't leave me alone, I'll get an injunction

to keep him from getting anywhere near the kids or me.

Well, next time, call with good news.

Goodbye.

Up another eight points.

This is gonna cost us 50% more, if we're lucky.

Judith, I can do arithmetic.

I know damn well what this is costing us.

If we could get out of it now, we would.

Right now, we don't have any other choice

but to acquire as much stock as possible.

As cheaply as possible.

You don't have to tell me how to play this game, Charles.

You know, I'll be really glad when this divorce is finalized.

Well, let's just try to get through it

with our portfolios intact, shall we?

Or are you planning on living off Ms. Ewing's wealth?

Go to hell.

What excuse did you give her?

What are you talking about now?

What excuse to delay the divorce? What did you tell her?

-I told her the truth. -Not about the merger.

Oh, I didn't think I was staying in this marriage because of you.

Well, now I know where all this sudden interest

in Eastern Mining Group is coming from.

Yesterday, nobody's heard of the company.

Today, they're up 12 points.

She is trading on the information that you gave her,

and she's making a fool out of you in the bargain.

-Get out of here. -You are unbelievable.

The next time you're rolling around in bed with Abby,

see if she's so overwhelmed by your animal magnetism

that she forgets to bring up the subject of EMG.

[Abby] You're accusing me?

You think I would do something like that?

I am not accusing. I am asking.

You must realize that trading

on insider information is a very--

I can't believe you want to marry me,

and yet you don't trust me.

-I do trust you. -[Abby] Oh, no, Charles.

You don't know the first thing about trust, do you?

I trusted you 20 years ago, and you humiliated me.

Then I trusted you 20 years later,

and you lied to me about the ambassador's dinner.

I trusted you again when you said

you were going to get divorced.

Then I find out that your divorce

is indefinitely postponed.

Just till after the first quarter report.

Why am I supposed to believe you?

-Because it's the truth. -[Abby] Oh!

And I suppose you are so trustworthy.

I'm supposed to overlook your deceits,

and yet you're allowed to walk in here

and ask me to prove myself.

Well, Charles, why don't you just do

an electronic sweep of the office while you're here?

-Oh, come on, Abby. Come on. -No, really, why don't you?

For all you know, could be taping this conversation,

ready to run to the SEC with your insider information.

Come on.

Why don't you check under the lampshade for a microphone?

Or maybe there's a tape recorder in the plant. You think so?

You want me to marry you, but you don't trust me.

[Charles] All right, Abby, I'm-- I'm sorry.

[Abby] Well, you know, you've got it backwards, Charles.

Because you're the one who has to prove himself to me.

So where was my furniture shipped?

Well, it seems as though your papers got mixed up

with a different load at the Illinois station.

Now, how could that happen?

-[man] We're human. -Uh-huh.

Could I see that clipboard, please?

It was an honest mistake. We're sorry.

If you're sorry, then I'd like to see the clipboard.

-[Patricia] Frank? -What is it?

Uh, excuse me. Can I talk to you for a minute?

Excuse us. [chuckles]

You've got to stop grilling everyone like this.

This isn't everyone, this is a man

who can't explain why our furniture arrived late.

What about the way you were talking

to the MacKenzies last night?

I didn't want to be there in the first place.

The man turned out to be a special investigator.

Now, how close do you want to get to his family?

Honey, we have to try to live a normal life here.

It's too late.

The-- the-- the couch is missing.

Say, where is my sofa?

We couldn't get it all in one van, so, like I said,

your papers went one way, your furniture, another.

You'll get your couch tomorrow, maybe.

-Probably. -[Frank] Tomorrow?

Frank, Frank, Frank.

We can live without the couch for one more...

You're going to bring me back my sofa

that you should have had here two days ago tomorrow?

If I'm caught with this, will I be charged

with a felony or a misdemeanor?

Well, just don't get yourself caught.

You won't have to worry about it.

[car horn honks]

-That's sound advice. -He's expecting that tonight.

Now, he's a steady customer, so don't screw up.

-[Michael] Hey, Johnny. -Hi.

Great set last night.

Paper gave the clubs great reviews.

That's the first time in months.

-I'd like to have a copy. -Oh, go ahead. Keep that one.

-You know, Johnny... -Huh?

We're really lucky to have you here.

[laughs] Yeah.

[Olivia] Oh, I love cerise rose.

I want cerise rose for my good china

and then wisteria for every day.

Um, what kind of dress is your mom going to wear?

I don't know.

But I'm tearing out all the good ones.

I want her to wear white, even though it's not our first time.

I wonder what it's like to sleep with someone

when you've already slept with someone before.

I mean, I'm just wondering if it was different

or if it was just kind of the same.

I've never slept with anyone.

But you could probably ask Paige.

[laughs] Paige.

I'm only going to sleep with the man I love.

Me, too.

Olivia?

What?

I love Michael.

Is he trying to get you to sleep with him?

No.

I think it's okay if you're in love. I really do.

I figure--

I figure we're going to be together forever.

Wouldn't that be great? Just like my mom and Charles.

If anyone had told me a year ago that I wouldn't want to sleep

with somebody as beautiful as Jody,

I would have said they were nuts.

-Excuse me. -Oh.

Are you going to be singing again tonight?

-Yes, I am. -Oh, I'm so glad.

I really enjoy your music.

-Why, thank you. There you go. -Oh, thanks!

So, what you gonna do?

I'm just too young for commitment.

There are some, myself included, who never aspire to matrimony.

[Michael] But-- but it's not just marriage.

I mean, she's not asking me to marry her.

But I know if I have sex with her...

she'll want to be with me forever.

[laughs] Well then, you have made the right choice.

What choice? I haven't made a choice.

How can I turn down an offer like that?

She's so gorgeous.

All I've heard is beautiful and gorgeous.

Is that what really matters to you?

-Well, it's hard not to notice. -Mm-hmm.

How can I look back when I'm old, when I'm 40,

and say I passed up an opportunity like this?

That's why I'm asking you. You're old. What would you do?

[laughs] Well, son, I don't really know.

But I'd love to trade places with you

and find out exactly how I'd respond.

Thanks, but no thanks.

-I'll catch you late. -All right.

Oh, um, when you go back to town,

could you drop this off by Reed's Music Store?

It's a tape. I promised to let the owner hear.

-Sure. -Thanks.

[Michael] Mm-hmm.

[intriguing music]

Get rid of the utilities and keep buying

that publishing company.

[knocking on door]

Well then, option every share of it

if they're not willing to sell yet.

I don't know. Give them half a point.

Fine. Bye.

My divorce papers.

What about your company?

To hell with the first quarter report.

-Robin. -[Robin] Yes, ma'am?

You can go home.

[Greg] They're starting to feel the pinch.

I've been checking up on the Scotts.

Mrs. Scott had to sell her options

on her publishing conglomerate

in order to protect her position in EMG.

[Abby] I know.

[Greg] It was rather fortuitous, wasn't it,

that you accidentally stumbled upon this acquisition?

[Abby] It was, wasn't it?

[Greg] Poor Mrs. Scott.

She's gonna show up at the annual board meeting,

and there you're gonna be

the largest stockholder in her company.

[Abby laughs] Isn't that a thought?

[Greg] Does it really tweak your spine

that you're gonna take all of her money?

[Abby] Her money and her husband.

[Greg laughs]

That's it. That's all we need.

[Jody] Mm, what time are your parents getting back?

Oh, around 11:00.

What time does Meg go to sleep?

Oh, sometimes not before 10:00 or 10:30.

-[toy] This is a horse. -[horse neighs]

Maybe if I read her a book or something,

then she'd go to sleep faster.

Maybe you should just get a bottle.

-[Michael] Uh... -[Jody] Come here.

There you go.

Come here.

Look at this.

[emotional music]

[Greg] Does it really tweak your spine

that you're gonna take all of her money?

[Abby] Her money and her husband.

[Greg laughs]

[suspenseful music]

Wait.

Oh, hi, um, listen, can you come over now?

Yeah, yeah, right now.

Good.

I'd like you to wait.

Look, um, maybe we ought to change this phrase, uh,

"presumption of parental rights" to something stronger,

like "guaranteed rights."

Gary, those are legal terms.

They don't mean what you think they mean.

Yeah, but I don't think it's strong enough.

It is.

All right, I'll run this over to her tomorrow.

Um, no, I don't think that's a good idea.

It's time to turn it over to the attorneys.

Look, I don't want this thing to end up in court.

If it does, it's gonna be ten times worse than it is now.

I'll explain it to her. It's worth a shot.

Gary, let the lawyers be the bad guys.

That's what you pay them for.

I think that the less you see of Val right now, the better it is.

What's going on?

My wife has been taping your conversations.

[intriguing music]

What?

With me, with Greg Sumner, with, uh, God knows who else.

Well, I guess I'll just have to file a lawsuit

for invasion of privacy, won't I?

I don't think any of us here wants this tape

to be made public.

You see, my casual references to business acquisitions

could be construed as, well, a violation.

Our fiduciary responsibility to our stockholders.

And the fact that you, Abby,

took advantage of our innocent conversation

may look to the SEC like insider trading.

And your ill*gal taping

was, frankly, Judith, ill*gal.

-Did you make a backup tape? -Backup?

Hmm. A duplicate.

No.

[Charles] No?

Well, Charles, I didn't do this for the SEC's benefit.

I did it to open your eyes to this woman.

Well, thank you so much for your concern.

Good night.

[Charles laughs]

-She went out like a light. -Yeah.

We'd better get back down there.

Well, we might not hear Meg if she cries.

I mean, maybe we should go to your room.

-Jody. -I love you.

I-- I know you don't like to say that you love me,

but you don't have to.

Let's just go to your room.

-Jody. -[Jody] Come on.

Look, I don't know what to do.

I think we can figure that out.

That's not what I mean.

Look, if this were a comedy,

I could go tickle the baby and get out of this.

-Get out of this? -Yeah.

I thought you wanted to sleep with me.

I do. No, I do.

I really do.

I've thought a lot about this.

And you'd just end up hating me.

Because I like you so much,

but I don't love you.

Then why do you always go out with me?

Because I like you.

-What's wrong with me? -There's nothing wrong with you.

Most people would say there's something wrong with me.

How come you never said this to me before?

I did.

-I hate you! -Jody! Jody!

[sighs]

I'm gonna regret this.

Hi. Look.

[chuckles] Came while you were gone.

Who brought it?

That same man who was here earlier.

Uh, get up and get off it.

Frank.

Believe me, it's okay.

I called the office. We got all our furniture.

They checked. They cleared everything.

Frank!

Make sure Julie's in her room.

Now, Patricia. Please!

[indistinct chatter]

Hey, Frank!

How you doing?

-[Frank] Morning. -Morning.

-How you been? -Pretty good.

Morning.

-Good to see you. -Yeah.

Uh, you believe this?

-It was the movers. -You're kidding.

Yeah, I've heard people tell stories before,

but I never thought they'd do something like this.

-You have insurance? -Oh, no. They'll cover it.

Looks like they went at it with a knife.

Yeah. Yeah, it does, doesn't it?

Get out of this house, and don't you dare come near here again!

Valene, if we have to go to court--

You go ahead and you go to court,

because you can't do anything.

-You have no rights! -[Gary] Those children are mine!

-They're not your children. -I'm their father!

You are not their father! Ben is their father!

-Ben? Ben's gone, and he's not-- -He is not gone!

Don't you say that! Get him out of here!

-Get out of here! -Come here! Val! Come on!

Stop! Stop!

Get him out of here! You leave here, Gary.

You leave right now! I swear!

I'll leave, I'll leave the same way Ben left!

Come on, Gary, just get out of here, go!

You stupid son of a b*tch! Get out of here!

Get out of here!

[sobs]

[relaxing music]

You know, this is hardly the response

I expected to getting caught.

The way I see it, you didn't take advantage of me.

You took advantage of Judith.

But you lost money in the deal.

I figured I owed you one.

We're even.

How do you know you can trust me now?

Because you've made your point.

And because you're gonna be my wife.

Which means that everything I own will be yours anyway.

I love you so much.

I can't believe I'm saying that.

-I love you. -I love you too.

Oh, mm, mm, mm, mm. I gotta go to work.

[Charles] Mm.

No, I really have to go to work.

[phone ringing]

Yes?

[man] Is there anything for me to tell the investors?

Oh, everything's going according to plan.

[man] So from here on out, it should be a piece of cake.

Yeah, we're right on schedule.

[man] Congratulations, Charles.

We all want you to have a long and happy marriage.
