09x21 - A Fair Race

[bunniefuu]

I can't get over what Greg did.

How could he presume that we'd take care of his child?

I was the one who presumed.

You talked to Greg about this and you didn't ask me?

I'm getting out of Lotus Point.

I've spent my last day worrying about what color to paint the bridal suite

and where they got the best deals on sheets.

I'm here because you're the love of my life.

Yeah, that and what other reason?

Why would I be putting up with this stupid routine of yours

to try to impress some other man?

-I'm Olivia Cunningham. -I'm Harold Dyer.

-[Manny] I'm very proud of you. -For what?

For meeting the boss's daughter.

[theme music playing]

[music continues]

[instrumental music]

Oh, let-let me get you a clean shirt, sir.

I only wore it twice.

[instrumental music]

-Hi. -Hi.

Oh, you got a run in your stocking.

-Mom? -Yeah?

I'm coming to Lotus Point after school, so I'll see you later.

Why?

Oh, Olivia's down in the dumps because Abby didn't get married,

so we're gonna drown our troubles in banana splits.

What are your troubles?

I don't have any troubles.

You just said, "Our troubles," plural.

I didn't mean anything by it.

I'm glad I broke up with Jody.

Oh.

I see.

Well, you're still young.

Why do people always say that?

When you're young, it feels just as bad when something happens

as when you're old, maybe worse.

I'm sorry.

-[Michael] I like the other outfit. -Don't say it.

See, you gotta stuff them with vegetables when they're young

to get them ready for when they eat all that junk when they get older.

[Michael] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-Like jelly donuts, crullers. -[Michael] Hi.

-Bye. -[Karen] Bye.

-[Greg] Hi. -[Mack] Hey.

Well, look who's here.

-I'm ready. -Hi.

I would have honked, but you get arrested in this neighborhood

for honking in the morning.

[Manny] Freddie.

How are you?

How am I?

I'll tell you how I am.

He broke my arm in two places.

It took an hour and a half to set this, Manny.

You want to know how I am? I'm fine.

This is like going to Hawaii.

We're in a trip to Hawaii with Vanna White. I mean, I'm in paradise.

These are for you, Freddie.

I'm sorry your arm got broken.

It didn't get broken. He broke it.

Sorry about that. It's not the way I do business.

-Tell Harold. -[Manny] I did.

And Harold has something to say to you.

He was out of line, and he's man enough to admit it.

I overstepped my authority, Mr. Pappas.

I was out of line when I broke your arm, and I'm sorry.

Please accept my apology.

I should have given you a 24-hour notice first.

-This is your 24-hour notice. -[ominous music playing]

Take care, Freddie.

Those are all cream centers with dark chocolate coverage.

Your wife, she said you like cream centers with dark chocolate.

See you tomorrow, Mr. Pappas.

-[Valene] Hi! -Hi!

-Come in. -Wow, you look nice!

Oh, thanks. Want some coffee?

No, thanks. Where's Meg?

Upstairs. Mack's changing her.

Oh. I just came by to drop these things off.

Kids outgrew them, every single one of them.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, I love this one.

Well, I just figured now that you have a baby of your own to raise.

Oh, you better promise to help me.

I've forgotten everything about raising kids.

Can you believe

the two of us raising kids together at our age?

[laughs]

I-I really meant to drop these things off sooner,

but, uh, things have been so topsy-turvy these last few months.

Karen, these clothes here are just an excuse.

An excuse?

Yeah, for me to get up the nerve to come over here.

You don't need an excuse.

Yes, I do.

Karen, I've been just awful to you.

This whole thing with Gary and the kids...

it's really been very hard on me.

I know.

I had to tell the truth in my deposition.

I didn't want to.

But when they asked me if Gary was the father...

I couldn't lie.

I know you couldn't.

And I figured if I could patch things up with Gary,

and I really hated what he did to me...

then I guess I could march over here and...

patch things up with my very best friend.

So that's what I'm gonna do. Come here.

-Oh! [laughs] -[laughs]

-I love you. -I love you too.

-[Jill humming] -What are you so chipper about?

Jury selection today.

The pre-trial maneuvering is over.

Gets the adrenaline going when we finally get to trial.

And this is my first day in court suit. What do you think?

And this is my four years at Lotus Point suit. What do you think?

It doesn't look that old.

Yeah, well, once you've seen one suit,

you've pretty much seen them all.

Of course, there are variations.

I mean, there's single-breasted and a double-breasted,

and a sport coat, and a herringbone,

and a checkered, and, uh, like that.

I know, Gary.

Throw caution to the wind.

-Wear a sweater. -[Gary laughs]

You really get excited about your work, don't you?

Yeah. My work.

-And you. -[Gary] Uh-huh.

Bye.

Mr. Ewing, the bath masks we ordered came in.

They misspelled the name. Take a look.

-Lotus Pint. -[Gary sighs]

The artist we're going to see is on the way up.

-He does great work. -Great.

Very talented, but a little strange.

Story of my life.

[phone line ringing]

-[Wayne] Wayne Doss. -Wayne, this is Greg.

-[Wayne] What do you need? -I got about 20 minutes to k*ll.

Why don't you give me a complete rundown on the, um, on the Waller case?

-[Wayne] Let me get my file. -Alright.

-I don't care to cast a vote. -You don't care about the marina?

No, I don't care to vote.

No, I don't care. No hard feelings.

-I just don't care. -That's a terrible attitude, Gary.

No, it's a realistic attitude.

-I am getting out of Lotus Point. -What?

I've spent my last day worrying about what color to paint the bridal suite

and where they got the best deals on sheets.

Well, we don't have the money to buy you out right now.

I'm not selling out.

I just don't want to be part of the day-to-day operations.

You want to be a silent partner?

A mute partner.

Abby and I have equal shares.

How are we supposed to break a deadlock?

Well, if you got a problem, work it out.

Um, exhaust all the possibilities.

And if you're stuck and you still can't come to an agreement,

I still don't want to hear about it.

Figure it out yourselves.

[instrumental music]

[Manny] You're going to make the marina your top priority.

I want projections tonight.

How much tonnage with the ship?

How many boats do you want to run?

Well, you figure a third of the yachts coming in are gonna be legitimate.

So let me know an amount we can handle

if we use the remaining slips.

Give me some options.

Try a fourth, a third, half.

I don't want to fill up the place.

-Don't want to be obvious. -[Harold] No problem.

-[Paige] It's very somber. -[Greg] It's depressing.

[Paige] It's a mood piece.

It's a bad mood piece.

Why ask for my opinion if you don't want it?

I want it, I just don't agree with it.

-[Paul] Greg. -Paul.

You trying to get out without introducing me to your lovely date?

Hey, this is Mack MacKenzie's daughter. Used to date her mother.

Paige Matheson.

Paul Evans. Sorry.

You're much too pretty for an old goat like him.

-Thank you. -I have to go before my wife empties our bank account.

Good seeing you.

I'm not a child.

I didn't say you were a child. I said you were Mack's daughter.

Mind your manners or I'll put you to bed without supper.

Hi!

I wish I had your parents.

Come on. Abby's a great mother.

Did she pay you to say that?

No, but I can ask her to. Here she comes.

Hi, kids. Ooh, that looks good.

-Want a bite? -No, thanks.

Honey, I was just about to run into the Rodeo Collection and do some shopping.

-You want to go? -No.

Okay, we'll do it another time.

Michael, why don't you come out for dinner sometime?

I'd love to, thanks.

Bye, hon.

[Michael] Bye.

You're right. What an awful mother.

She wanted to take you shopping.

What would you know about it?

You've got two parents straight out of Reader's Digest.

You know that dinner that she invited you to?

Who do you think is going to cook for it?

-Not my mother. -She works.

Give her a break.

Would you quit wanting to explain everything away?

You're right. Let's sh**t her because she doesn't cook.

Look, I don't wanna talk about it anymore.

Olivia, come on, come on.

-Let's go see a movie or something. -I don't wanna go to a movie.

Then let's go to the beach, come on.

I don't want to go to the beach either.

-What do you want to do? -Nothing.

Is there a problem here?

-Excuse me? -He's my cousin.

All the more reason why you should treat her with a little respect.

Uh, I don't think I need anybody to teach me manners.

Guys.

Are you sure you're okay?

I'm fine.

Okay.

[gentle music playing]

I think you should reconsider.

Howard, I am not dropping the charges.

My client will sound very credible in the witness chair.

-He's right. I will. -Oh, Howard, give me a break, will you?

The woman signed the governor's signature to two dozen checks.

And then passed herself off as being the governor's mother!

Come on, look at this face.

Look at this face, this beautiful face.

And the governor's face?

I mean, there's no family resemblance whatsoever.

Although I will say,

the job you did on those signatures,

signing those checks, they were remarkably similar.

[Howard] We're pleading not guilty.

-Howard! -Good day.

[Gary] A-ha!

[Gary laughing]

-You're fickle. -What's the occasion?

You're looking at a free man.

I'm leaving the management of Lotus Point

to your lovely wife and her lovely nemesis.

I quit. I'm out of there.

Mack? [laughs]

You got the worst taste in ties of anybody I know.

Here. This is for you.

-Thanks. -You know, I read someplace that people who change careers

in midlife have enormous job satisfaction.

But what are you going to do, Gary?

I don't know.

Well, it's hard to have job satisfaction

when you don't have a job.

That's good advice.

But that's good, if that's what you want to do.

You know, whatever it is.

And thanks for the tie.

[both laugh]

-I'm happy for you. -Oh, thanks.

[gentle music playing]

Thanks for the tie.

[music continues]

[Paige] Is there any way to get me privacy?

Yeah, just pick it up.

-[Johnny] Johnny Rourke. -Hi.

I got through earlier than expected,

so I'll be able to see you after all.

Uh, I'll see you at around 5:00 at your place.

If this is what I get when he's driving away,

don't tell him what would happen if I invited the old man inside for a visit.

[instrumental music]

-Hi. -Hi.

I wanted to thank you.

I'm Olivia Cunningham.

I'm Harold Dyer.

Gare?

Gary?

Good.

[singing in foreign language]

[Gary] Jill!

In here, Gare.

-Aunt Jill! -Aunt Jill!

Hi, kids.

Ah. [laughs]

I invited the kids over to celebrate.

Good. Good idea.

-We're having pizza. -We're having pizza.

[laughing]

-[Valene] Come on, kids! The pizza's getting cold! -[Gary laughing]

Give Mommy a kiss. Give me a kiss, sweetie.

Attagirl. I'll be back.

Don't worry, I'm not staying.

I just came by to drop off the kids.

-Val, you can stay. It's okay. -That's alright, Jill.

-[Betsy] Bye. -Bye!

See you later.

[Gary] How about pepperoni or vegetarian?

Whatever you've got most of.

What this is?

[Jill] That's great.

[pop music playing]

♪ I always think about you ♪

♪ Tell me where you disappeared ♪

-[Olivia] Pepperoni. -Large pepperoni

-And? -Iced tea.

Two iced teas.

Large pepperoni, two iced teas.

-So, you're staying at Lotus Point? -Yeah.

-Where are you from? -East. Philadelphia.

-I wasn't trying to butt in today. -It's okay.

Just that where I'm from, you don't let someone talk to a lady like that.

He didn't mean anything.

I wasn't trying to meet you, really.

I'm the one that introduced myself.

Yeah, I really appreciated that.

[Johnny] I'm waiting for my thank you.

-[Paige] Thank you? -Yes.

It was very difficult for me to pretend I enjoyed kissing you.

You fooled me.

That's why I deserve a thank you.

[chuckles] Over my dead body.

Oh, don't say dead.

Body, I like.

-Johnny. -[Johnny] Huh?

What are you doing here?

Trying to take your mind off my rival.

There is no rival because you're not in the running.

And why are you in Knots Landing?

I'm here because you're the love of my life.

Yeah, that and what other reason?

That's it.

There is no way that you came here because of me.

If I didn't, why would I be putting up

with this stupid routine of yours

to try to impress some other man?

Because we're friends.

Well, friend,

I don't find it all that amusing anymore.

I don't remember twisting your arm.

Did you ever think how I might feel about being used?

-I thought you were enjoying it. -Oh, yeah.

I would never want to force a friend

into doing something he didn't like.

I should have been more surprised

that Gary quit his job, but I wasn't.

Uh, it's called middle-age crisis.

You can read all about it.

His heart was never in the work.

Everybody's heart can't be in their work, Karen.

I mean, we're lucky to have jobs that we like.

You had to see this woman I had in the office today.

She was a forger, sweet little lady.

-She reminded me of Mother Teresa. -Mack.

Now that Gary's not there anymore,

I'm going to have a lot more work to do.

Oh, yeah.

And I was thinking

that maybe we should hire a full-time babysitter.

You know, I can't get over what Greg did.

How could he presume that we'd take care of his child?

-Does that take nerve or what? -[Karen] Mack.

I was the one who presumed.

I promised Laura I'd take care of Meg.

And anybody could see that Greg couldn't handle it.

You talked to Greg about this?

-Yes. -[Mack] Without asking me?

It was-it was just... it was the spur of the moment.

-I should have told you about it. -Karen.

-I'm sorry, but I... I don't even know what I... -Karen.

-I don't even remember what I said to him. -[Mack] Karen.

I just went there to see Meg, how she was doing,

and all of a sudden I asked him if we could raise her.

Oh, good.

You should have asked me.

I never thought he'd say yes.

Not in a million years.

Did you have a good time?

Uh, yeah.

-Where'd you go? -A pizza parlor.

Uh, tell me about it.

It was a pizza parlor. We ate pizza.

And who was your date?

This guy.

You told Ana that you'd met someone

and that you were going to have a soda.

That's not much information. I'd like to know little more.

I'm 17.

That's the part I already know.

[Olivia sighs]

Who is this young man?

Harold Dyer.

He's staying at Lotus Point.

Well, that speaks well of him. What more do you know about him?

I'm not marrying him, Mother.

How old is he?

Are you wondering if he's too old for me?

Or if he's too young for you?

I am not the source of all your problems, young lady.

But there is one problem that you do have.

You're not going to see this young man again until I meet him.

You understand?

[tense instrumental playing]

-[Manny] Where did you go? -We had pizza.

-[Manny] How old is she? -Seventeen.

[Manny] Does she have a boyfriend?

[Harold] I don't know, I didn't ask.

[Manny] Did you ask her out again?

[Harold] Not yet.

But you think she'd go?

Yeah.

I'm very proud of you.

For what?

For meeting the boss's daughter.

-What boss? -[Manny] That was Abby Ewing's daughter.

You didn't know?

[Manny laughing]

He didn't know.

[both laughing]

I-I didn't know.

Can I have the rest of the banana?

[Karen] Why are you so curious about Greg?

I'm just trying to figure him out.

Why?

[Paige] To learn his tastes.

He's our best customer at the gallery,

and he's kind of mercurial.

[laughing] "Mercurial"? Another 25-cent word.

-Now, who talks like that? -[Karen] Mack.

[Mack] Well, the guy blows hot and cold, you know, he's inconsistent.

He confuses everybody, he's like, uh...

[Karen] Mercurial.

[Paige] Thank you.

[Johnny] Well, how much is he worth?

A lot.

A lot Rockefeller, a lot Getty, a lot Klug?

I don't know. A lot.

Well, what was his wife like?

Laura? Oh, she was nice.

I kind of got the feeling, though,

that everybody thought she was too good for him.

Come on, let's go.

[Karen] She was too good for him.

Amen.

I mean, that's the kind of thing I normally don't say about anyone.

-It's true. -I thought you said he was an idealist.

When he was younger.

Now he became a...

lapsed idealist.

But Laura must have seen something in him.

Well, she's the only one that ever did.

[Johnny] Why did he quit the Senate?

[Michael] He had to take over his father's companies.

So he quit the Senate to make money?

I don't know, maybe.

[Karen] No, I never figured that out.

Because I don't think it's money that interests him, do you?

No, I guess, I-I don't.

Well, what does interest him?

-I don't know. -Power.

Playing with money.

Power interests him, I think.

Michael, Michael, hold on, hold on, hold on.

Come here.

How long was he married to Laura?

About two years before she died.

And Laura was his age, more or less?

More or less.

So, he's not particularly interested in younger women, is he?

Does anybody care anymore whether they're younger, older, same age?

As long as you have a woman.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Think he'll ever get married again?

How would I know? You know who you should ask?

-Oh, who? -Paige.

-Paige? -Yeah.

-She sees him a lot. -A lot?

Well, he's her best customer.

-You should ask her about him. -Yeah. Good idea.

Who did he date when he was younger?

Anyone who'd go out with him.

Well, I mean, what kind of women interested him?

Well, the female kind.

Mack.

Mother turned him down when he asked her out.

Your mother had good taste.

[Paige] Maybe I'll ask mother about him.

[Michael] He's a strange man, but maybe not evil.

Probably not.

[Karen's voice] It's gonna take him a long time to get over Laura.

I just wish he'd find someone as good as she was.

[Mack] His problem is he's an ex-idealist.

He's a rich son of a g*n and he's used to having his own way all the time.

[suspenseful instrumental playing]

Hi. How about a cup of tea?

Oh, I have some deliveries to make.

Hey, get away from those.

These are for the old man, aren't they?

You know, I'm tired of you calling him the old man.

Oh, you mean the senior citizen, grandpa.

How about millionaire?

Oh, Paige.

Gives a bad name to womankind

for you to be lusting after an old man's fortune like that.

-Gosh, I feel awful. -Yeah, I bet you do.

Hey, how about I ride along with you?

I'm working.

Oh, but you're wanting to make the old man jealous.

I'm only trying to help you out.

[sighs]

You make a good impression from a distance,

but I'm not so sure that he'd be as impressed close up.

-Excuse me. -I excuse you.

[engine starts]

Watch your hand. Watch your chin.

Yeah, I want to get to the playground before it gets too crowded.

Oh, sure, yeah. You got the sunscreen

-and all that stuff? -Yes.

-You got plenty of diapers. -Everything.

-Oops. -Bye-bye.

-[Karen] Bye-bye. Bye. -Bye.

Don't talk to any strangers, bye.

[Barbara] Here we go.

-Bye-bye. -See you.

Bye!

[door closed]

[Mack sighs]

You know, with Barbara here...

we can actually get to work on time.

Or...

almost on time.

[soft instrumental playing]

Yeah.

I just think that we should have discussed it.

Barbara.

Meg.

And you think you know me so well.

Well...

you always talked about...

being a father.

Talk is one thing.

You know how long...

[Karen moaning]

You know how long it's been...

Since the baby got here.

[instrumental music]

Thanks, Freddie.

Now this is the way I prefer doing business.

-Next time we won't have to-- -Harold!

Wait, we're gonna have breakfast.

-We don't serve breakfast. -Yes, you do.

-Hi. -Olivia, this is Freddie. Freddie, Olivia.

-Hi. -Hungry?

Oh, I'm starved, but I really shouldn't be late for school.

-Okay, uh, what's fast? -Whatever you want.

We have scrambled eggs, French toast, blueberry pancakes.

-I love blueberry pancakes. -Give me a minute.

Olivia's in a hurry, remember?

There's a great film playing at the Royale.

Can you go out on school nights?

Harold, I shouldn't have even come here this morning.

I can't go out with you at all

until my mother gets to meet you.

-Isn't that awful? -I think that's fine.

What?

I respect your mother for saying that.

-You do? -Yes, I do.

I think more parents should take an interest in the people their children go out with.

I'm looking forward to meeting your mother.

We're gonna be late for work.

Oh, ask me if I care.

-Do you care? -No.

We should talk about Meg.

[laughs] I don't want to talk about Meg.

-We have to talk about her. -No, we don't have to talk about her.

Well, you were right, you know.

It really is a big responsibility, taking care of her.

Karen.

You're so hard to distract, you know that?

-Here's what I think. -What?

I think we have a lot to worry about.

You know, whether she...

Is she going to remember her father?

Uh, is he gonna have second thoughts about her

-after she's become a part of the family, yeah? -I'm worried about...

-I-I'm worried-- -What happens when she goes to school?

What's her name gonna be?

Well, I thought--

And is this the right thing to do at this time?

And what happens if we don't do a good job?

-We go to-- -Huh? [mumbles]

-So here's what I've concluded. -What?

[Mack moans]

We can't not raise her.

We can't?

You know,

we're not gonna be perfect parents.

We're gonna make mistakes along the way.

Uh-uh, but if she grows up

feeling secure and loved...

then we've done a good job, and that's all we can do.

We can do our best, and that's what we'll do.

So...

we have to raise her.

[Karen sighs]

[Barbara] Hello, we're back.

Anybody home?

-Oh! -[both laughing]

[both] No, no.

[both laughing]

The door.

-It's locked. -It's locked.

Oh, Mack, I'm so embarrassed to go down there.

I'm never going down there.

Good, we have to stay up here all day.

Shh.

Sir?

Miss Matheson's here.

-Hello. -Hi.

I, uh, had two to show you,

but I must have left one at the gallery.

You did, I tried to catch up with you, but you were too fast for me.

Oh, how kind of you to bring it out.

I thought so.

[soft instrumental playing]

Better.

Are you serious?

Well, keep them for a week and see how you feel.

She doesn't know how to take no for an answer.

She does like to have her way.

But she has good taste.

In some things, yeah.

"She" is ready to leave.

I'll call you next week.

The horses are ready, sir.

-[Johnny] Horses? -Mm-hmm.

My grandfather raised thoroughbreds.

-For the races? -No, no, no, for jumping.

In fact, he was called to the good Lord's side

when a gelding he was riding missed a fence during practice.

Well, I was just gonna go pony one of my horses.

-Do you ride? -I was born to it.

Well, have the girl saddle York.

-Yes, sir. -Yeah, saddle York.

You were born to raise sheep,

like your grandfather who died from drinking.

He died of drink after he lost all his money betting on the horses.

Well, that qualifies you as an expert.

-What does he mean when he says he wants to pony the horse? -You figure it out.

Ah, ah, ah. You want me to look good in front of your boyfriend, now, don't you?

It means he wants to exercise the horse to lead him alongside.

Let's go around the track a few times.

Give me my horse.

What side of the horse do I get on?

[Paige] I hope you fall off and break your neck.

[laughs]

[energetic instrumental playing]

Have you been working with Paige long?

A few months.

Do you deal with other galleries?

No need to. She gets me whatever I want.

[Johnny chuckles] She's a go-getter.

[instrumental music]

Are you satisfied with her work?

No complaints.

[upbeat instrumental playing]

[soft instrumental playing]

[Johnny coughing]

You young whippersnapper, you.

Are you hurt, lad?

No, nothing.

Just a little roll in the hay.

[sighs] Your grandfather turned over in his grave

to see you lying there like that.

You sure can pick them.

Gary, I'm home.

[gentle instrumental playing]

[Gary] "Val had something she had to do, so I agreed to keep the kids.

"I thought you'd rather have me go over there than bring them here again.

Don't wait up. "

[instrumental music]

[playful instrumental playing]

You're not going to grill him, are you?

I'm just going to ask him a couple of questions.

Like what?

[sighs] Where he lives,

who... who his parents are,

what his intentions are.

-You're not. -[doorbell rings]

-Nah. -[Olivia chuckles]

Hi, I'm Harold.

[Abby] Hello, Harold.

And I'm his uncle, Manny Vasquez.

I hope you don't mind,

but I took the liberty of accompanying Harold.

[laughs] That's fine, come on in.

I was impressed by your desire to meet my nephew.

Most parents don't care who their children associate with.

Well, I'm glad to hear that you do.

Let's sit down.

-Come. -[Abby chuckles]

[soft instrumental playing]

[bottle thumps on floor]

Thank you. This is nice of you.

There you go.

[Johnny] Can you help me down here, please?

No-no, you're not going to leave me here like this, are you?

You can call room service.

Well, room service can't take off my boots for me.

Now, this is ridiculous.

I'm not going to get involved with you again.

Careful. Ow.

Look, look, alright, what I did was stupid, I acted like an idiot.

-Yes, you did. -Well, that's what I said.

-And I'm agreeing with you. -Okay!

You know, the two of you look like two big bucks locking horns

in mortal combat for the female prize.

Alright, Paige, Paige.

I am not interested in breaking my neck to prove a point.

And what is this?

It's a present.

You can't afford this.

You know, I'm getting very tired of you telling me what I can and can't do.

Now, I bought it for you, so it seems I can afford it.

Did you steal the money?

[Johnny laughs]

"Thank you, Johnny.

It's very pretty.

It was sweet of you to buy it for me, Johnny."

[Paige sighs] Thank you, Johnny.

[Paige sighs]

Now, you can say whatever you like...

but I don't believe you don't care about me.

[phone ringing]

Forget about it, let's... Ow! Ow!

Hello?

I was just calling to see how the boy is.

-The boy is fine. -That's great.

Listen, can you come out to the ranch tomorrow morning?

Why?

Well, I got a proposal for you.

Your boyfriend asked me, uh, why I wasn't doing business with any other galleries,

and I said that you pretty much got me whatever I wanted.

That got me to thinking.

Why should I be paying a commission to a gallery?

I could probably save 30-35% on this art stuff

if I just go ahead and hire you exclusively.

Uh, thank your boyfriend for putting me on to that idea.

Okay, I will.

So I'll see you in the morning?

-Alright. Bye. -Adios.

-Bye. -[receiver clacks]

[Paige sighs]

I've got to go.

[scoffs] What happened?

I just don't think this is smart.

What do you...

[Paige sighs]

"Don't think this is smart."

[Harold laughing]

Uh, the movie starts at 8:00. We better be going.

We're gonna be late.

-Harold, it was nice to meet you. -Likewise.

-Goodbye, honey. -[Olivia] I'll see you later.

Thank you for having us over.

Well, you don't have to go just because they are.

-How about a glass of wine? -Well, thank you very much.

-Uh, red or white? -Uh, red, please.

Uh, did you say you were in shipping?

Uh, not shipping, really.

I rent yachts, and my clients want luxury without the worry of the upkeep.

I worry about the upkeep.

-Where are you based? -San Francisco.

But I wanted to expand.

I've been looking at resorts in Southern California.

Have you thought about Lotus Point?

I'm afraid you don't have the docking facilities I need.

We're in the process of expanding our marina.

Are you?

Hmm.

Karen, I'd like you to meet Manny Vasquez.

I think we can do business together.
