11x09 - Perfect Couples

[bunniefuu]

[violin music]

Hello.

-[Danny] Hi. -Hi.

Hi. I have a surprise.

[Val] What?

Guess what I'm holding in my hand.

[Val laughs]

-I don't know what. -Well, come on, guess

-A ticket! You won the lottery. -Well, in a matter of speaking.

Amanda finally filed for divorce.

I have the papers.

Oh...

Well, come on! You're supposed to sound excited.

Well, I'm happy for you, if you're happy.

I am beyond happy. I'm thrilled.

-[Danny] Let's celebrate. -Right now?

Well, as soon as I can get over there.

And I have a surprise for the kids too.

What?

Now, if I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise, now would it?

No.

[Danny laughs]

-I'll see you in a bit. -Okay.

[eerie music]

[Danny cries]

[theme music]

[narrator] Previously on Knots Landing.

Quite a stroke of luck finding that evidence.

[drums music]

Yeah.

I don't want you to get me off.

I'm guilty.

I want you to plead me guilty.

[man #1] You were taken off the Mackenzie case

but you're still dating his daughter.

Don't think that you can tell me who I can or cannot see

who I have lunch with or who I date.

You do not own me.

We made love, Amanda.

We had sex.

I thought you wanted to get back together.

I never said that.

Hi...

Hi, Gary.

Come away with me for a week, a weekend, a night.

Let's just get out of here.

-Can I help you? -Detective Tom Ryan.

Yeah, all the way to the back of the corner.

You're welcome.

You creep, do you know how long I waited at that club?

I'm sorry.

And you didn't even have the class

or is it the intelligence to call me and lie about it?

-I'm sorry. -[scoffing] Oh, well.

Gee, that makes all the difference in the world.

I feel so much better now.

You're right. I should have called you.

To say what? That you were out on assignment.

You've already used that one.

No, to say that you were right in the beginning, okay.

About what?

About us being just too different.

I never said that was your line.

Although it was what you were thinking, okay?

And I'm agreeing with it.

[yelling] Don't tell me what I think.

Then it's what I think Paige, okay?

It's what I think. It's what I know.

It wouldn't work between us. That's it.

You hypocrite.

I've seen this kind of relationship before, Paige.

Okay? I've been in it.

It doesn't last.

[stammers]

-That's it. -[Paige] Funny.

You were worried...

...that I thought that you weren't good enough for me.

-What I said-- -Now I know why.

You're not good enough for anyone.

[phone ringing]

[instrumental music]

[elevator dings]

-Polly. -Yes?

Do I have any messages?

Here's one from your dentist, you're overdue for a check-up.

-Is that all? -Mm-hm.

-Nothing from Tom Ryan? -No.

Mask, fin, snorkels.

This is not what I thought you had in mind

when you invited me away this weekend.

Well, you'll love it. Be you, me and the fish.

-Who needs the fish? -Well...

Think of them as, um, halftime entertainment.

[romantic music]

I can't believe how good I feel. I'm so happy.

-I almost feel guilty. -What?

I thought I'd feel bad about finalizing the divorce.

But I don't. I feel released.

I can't believe I didn't do it sooner.

Just hope Danny's taking it well?

[murmuring] Who cares.

[screams]

-Sweety, are you okay? -I'm fine.

Ooh, let me see it.

No, it's all right. It's fine, really.

Let me see it. Come on.

[screams]

Did you smoosh your thumb?

Yes, smoosh is the word, all right.

Mommy, you should kiss it and make it better.

[Val] Are you sure?

-Should I? -Yeah.

[upbeat music]

How did she do that?

That's amazing. How did she do that?

Your mother is simply amazing,

[laughing] But not amazing

enough to figure out what this is for. What is this?

It's a house.

-For who? -That's my surprise.

[car door closing]

-Is this the Gibson residence? -Yes, it is.

-Are you Betsy and Bobby? -[both] Yes

I have something for you.

What did you do?

Well, I tried everything else with those two.

I thought bribery might do the trick.

-Mommy, look, bunnies. -Oh!

-Bunnies. -Are they for us?

Yep. One for each of you.

-Thanks. -Thanks.

-Hope you enjoy them. -Thanks.

You know that house I built? It's a hutch for the bunnies.

Why don't we take them over there and see how they like it?

Thanks. Would you mind? I'll take this.

[Val] Thank you.Huh?

Wow.

Charming rabbits, huh?

I can't believe you did this.

Do you realize how much maintenance bunnies require?

Who do you think is going to end up taking care of them?

Me, I hope.

I want to take care of the rabbits and the kids...

...and mom.

Well, Paige was just here. Let me look for her.

I know she's been expecting your call.

-Is that Tom? -No, it's Mrs. Richfield.

Do you want to take it in your office?

Yes, I suppose. Do I have any other messages?

No, sorry.

Hi, Mrs. Richfield. Do you want me to transfer you?

[Mack yelling] It's prison.

Not some country club.

You don't know how hard hard time can be.

I have a pretty good idea

and it scares the hell out of me.

[yelling] Well then?

There is no well then.

I have two choices. Bad and worse.

I'm going with bad.

You're letting someone else get away with m*rder.

[sighs]

Baylor confess to k*lling Jeri because he was scared, right?

Right.

If we make him feel safe, he might talk.

How do you make this guy feel safe?

By getting him into the Witness Security Program.

-He'll never go for it. -He might.

If you talk him into it.

-Forget it. -[Mack] Why?

You want us to tell him what it's like?

Yeah.

Okay.

For starters.

I'll tell him he can kiss his career goodbye.

He'll have to find a completely unrelated line of work.

One that he doesn't like.

One he's not qualified for

and he can forget about all the seniority.

Benefits, pension, bonuses.

And anything else he's earned over the years.

And forget about his old neighborhood.

His friends. He can forget all of that.

I'm gonna tell him that he can forget living a normal life.

-Frank... -Oh, honey.

You want to tell him what it's like saying goodbye...

...to family?

This guy got a mother and a father.

[Frank] I hope they're not too close

because he will never see them again.

Am I right?

At least we're still alive.

We didn't have a choice.

Man's going to prison to something he didn't do.

And maybe in a year and a half he'll be out.

You get him into the WITSEC.

It's for life.

[dramatic music]

[Danny murmurs] There we go.

[shushing]

I don't think you would wake them up if you set off a rocket.

[murmuring] It's a good thing they did fall asleep here.

I know they would have taken those bunnies to bed with them.

[whispering] Good night, sweety.

He's being Batman or something.

[hushes]

They sure do love those furry creatures.

First the bunnies, then me. It's part of my master plan.

Well, you two should go out, you need some time together,

and I'll just babysit, all right?

-I like the way you think. -Good.

Okay. What do you want to do?

We'll improvise.

[laughs]

-Bye. -Bye-bye.

[sighs]

Polly, what are you still doing here?

-I have a date. -With Harvey?

No. Jack from accounting.

That blonde guy I saw you with.

That was Paul from Business Affairs.

How can you date so many different men?

I don't know. I meet them when I give them messages

and it just happens.

Well, it's a good thing this is a large company.

Are there any messages for me?

Oh, no, I'm sorry.

But Jack has a really cute friend I can fix you up with.

Thanks, but no thanks.

Look, I can close up shop for you.

Oh, you don't have to. Mr. Sumner is still here.

Oh.

-Good night. -Good night.

Rain check, anyone?

I thought we could have that dinner

that you've been promising me.

Oh, that dinner.

Yes.

I... decided to accept your invitation

unless you're otherwise engaged.

Well, good. Where do you want to go?

Home.

Carlos has promised me some broiled salmon.

Ooh, that sounds great.

Unfortunately, there's only one portion.

-I don't understand. -Actually, I'm engaged.

I'm going to start a new book tonight.

You know how I like to read.

Well, I think we could come up with something

a little more exciting.

What's his name?

-Who? -The guy who stood you up?

Nobody stood me up.

The guy you brought to the party?

Nobody stood me up.

You must have it bad for him

if you're willing to swallow your pride and come on to me.

You know, you think you know everything.

No, but I'm willing to guess...

...you got to fight with your boyfriend.

And he hasn't called which explains

why you've been interrogating Polly

every five minutes about messages.

I've been out of the office, Greg.

After seven, Galahad hasn't called.

So what the hell, why not hit on old Greg.

I thought it would be nice just to have dinner.

Right.

Try me again when you're not on the rebound.

[door closing]

[sighs]

[romantic music]

[Val] Do you have any regrets?

[Danny] That it didn't happen sooner.

[Val] No, I mean about the divorce.

[Danny] So do I.

[Val] You're not...

depressed?

Well...

I felt very bad when we first separated.

It was months ago.

Now...

...we're just exchanging paperwork.

Took me a long time to get over my divorce from Gary.

You didn't have the help I do.

[romantic music]

Lovely help.

Wonderful help.

I love you.

I love you too.

Okay, now to hold them

you got to put one hand under his backside

the other hand under his chest

and kind of keep it close to you

because they like the warmth of your body.

It makes them feel secure, okay?

There you go.

Uncle Gary said that he'll eat almost anything in the house.

He's right.

And I don't think mommy wants him nibbling on furniture.

Was Uncle Gary here already to see the bunnies?

No, he'll stop by and see them after his trip.

He's going away?

Uh, yeah, with our teacher.

He told you that he was going away with your teacher?

No, I just heard them talking.

I'm going to bring my bunny to show-and-tell.

[intriguing music]

[shouting] I don't want her to get a thing.

Danny, be reasonable.

You don't have that much to fight over.

I don't want to be reasonable. All right, Scott?

I want the furniture. I want the books.

I want the pictures. I want the record albums.

You don't even own a stereo.

[shouting] I don't care. I want the albums.

All right, I'll work on it.

How long will it take you?

I should be able to have a response for them

in about a week or two.

No, I want that nailed on her door

by the time she gets back from her trip with that cowboy.

-Gary. -Hi. Counting the hours?

I can't go. The club called and asked me

to fill in this weekend.

Can't they get somebody else?

I don't know. It's not another amateur night.

It's a paying gig.

There'll be people from the music business there.

-It's a big opportunity. -Great.

We can go next weekend.

Are you sure you want to?

Do I want to? Gary.

The things I have planned would make you blush.

[laughs]

Well, we don't have to wait till the weekend.

Our first time should be someplace special.

On the beach.

Under the moonlight, just you, me and the fish.

[laughs]

You are a romantic.

That's why you like me.

So, Michael...

How's the lovely Teresa.

Who?

Well, must not be a very serious relationship.

You can't remember her name.

Oh, oh, Teresa. Yeah.

I thought you were talking about someone at the office here.

-Teresa's great. -Yes, sure she is.

My compliments to the chef, if you know what I mean.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

So, uh, how long you two been dating?

Oh, I don't know, a couple of weeks.

I don't know that you'd really call it dating.

Well, if you wouldn't call it dating

I mean, what would you call it?

I mean, you're going out with her or you going out?

We broke it off, okay?

We're not really seeing each other anymore.

Well, that's too bad. I'm sorry to hear that.

-Do you mind if I call her? -What?

I'd like to ask her out. What's her number?

No, I don't think that's a good idea, Mort.

Michael, if you're not gonna drink the wine.

You should pass the bottle.

I got to get back to work.

This very small minded of you.

[knocking on door]

Come in.

[romantic music]

When I'm depressed, chocolate is the only thing that works.

Who said I was depressed?

Well, he didn't call today either.

Who didn't?

-Tom didn't. -Tom who?

You know the guy--

Did I ask you if he called today?

No.

Well, that's because I don't care.

-I'm sorry. -Good night.

Good night.

[instrumental music]

-She hasn't called. -Are you sure, Bobby?

Tom.

Look, you get a lot of phone calls through every day.

Maybe you got to mix up with something else. Just check.

Look, there aren't many women named Paige who call here.

I promise you, I didn't take a call from a page for you

or for anyone else.

Thanks.

[upbeat music]

Whoa, no, no. We got it. This is on us.

-Let's split it. -You guys took us out.

We want to take you on, all right?

Michael, let us take care of it.

Okay, you got it. Thanks.

Yes, thanks. That was really nice.

-[Mort] Hey, Michael. -Mort, hi.

And Teresa, hi. How charming this evening.

-Thank you. -Teresa?

[grumbles]

Don't tell me you and Michael have made-up.

-No. -Yes.

-What? -That hurts, Michael.

Tell me this is a farewell dinner.

Tell me you two are parting friends.

Oh, heck. Part enemies for all I care.

Just give me some hope.

Mort and I work together at the Sumner group.

Mort, this is my cousin Olivia and her husband Harold.

I guess we're all slumming it tonight.

[Mort laughs]

Well, they do make great burgers here.

And... sometimes you just...

get the urge. You know, Teresa

I was thinking about what you said to me at the party.

I didn't say anything to you at the party, Mort.

That's what I was thinking about.

I wanna rectify the situation.

[Mort] You give me your phone number,

I'll give you a call.

Unless, of course...

you and Michael are back together.

Back together?

Mort, look, I'll tell you what. We're taking off.

I'll call you at the office tomorrow, okay?

-Bye. -Give me a reason to hope.

Gee, Mot, I'm sorry.

I'm just not interested in seeing someone new.

I understand. You think it's too soon.

-Yes, that's it. -Teresa...

When you meet the right person

it's never too soon.

Well, I'll tell you what, if I change my mind

I'll give you a call at the office.

Day or night.

Rain or shine.

Au revoir.

What does he mean? Have you two made-up?

He thinks that Michael and Linda are dating.

-Michael and Teresa? -Come on, what's going on here?

Well, I went as Michael's date to party.

-Are you kidding? -No.

Well, see, I didn't want anyone to know I was his sister-in-law

so I just kind of made-up the name.

Teresa.

Does Eric know about this?

No, and there's nothing to know.

I was just kidding, Michael.

[sighs]

[Danny] Hi, I can't get to the phone right now

but if you leave your name number and a message,

I'll get back to you. Thanks.

I just got your attorney's response to the divorce papers.

I thought we could be adults about this

but I guess that's too much to ask of you.

[Amanda] So, you want it all? You can have it all.

That's how much I want to get out of this marriage.

Just give me back my grandmother's dishes.

I'll come by tomorrow to pick them up.

Thanks for making this easy.

Grandmothers dishes.

I don't think that's so much to ask.

See if I can find them here.

[dramatic music]

Ah.

There we go.

Let's see.

Oh, this one's chipped.

[dish shatters]

Oh, what a shame this was shipped too.

She's not going to want it.

Won't want this one either.

[knocking on door]

Hi. Come on in.

You're lucky to catch me. I was on my way out to see a client.

-How are you? -Fine.

Are you planning anything special this weekend?

No.

Somebody told me that you and the cowboy

are planning a sightseeing trip.

Though I can't imagine you leaving the hotel room.

Who told you that?

Was it supposed to be a secret?

It's none of your business

but Gary and I are not going anywhere this weekend.

Oh, now, Amanda, it's a sin to tell a lie.

-Can we get on with this? -I don't know.

I mean, I'm curious. Come on, tell me.

Did you at least wait until the divorce papers were served?

Or have you and Hopalong Cassidy been doing it

ever since the beginning?

Give me the dishes, Danny.

No. Come on, Amanda. You don't have to be shy with me.

[shouting] Give me the dishes.

I've looked everywhere.

What are you talking about? I know you have them.

No, had them, I'm sure of that.

But well, two months ago I did some spring cleaning.

You know, start a new life out with the old, in with the new.

What did you do with them?

I'm almost sure I gave them to Goodwill.

How could you?

Forgot they were your grandmother's. I'm sorry.

They were the only things she left me when she died.

Well, you know, Amanda, maybe they didn't sell it.

Maybe we should go to the store. Here's the address.

Damn you, Danny.

[slam]

The problem is you didn't account for duplications.

It defects.

Yeah, I didn't know about that.

You have to factor in the screw ups to get an accurate picture.

Hey, Bobby, would you--

Michael, I have been looking all over the place for you.

You have got to help out your fellow worker.

What's up?

I spent the whole night thinking of Teresa.

Forget it, Mort.

She just needs a little encouragement, Michael.

If you could just give me a phone number.

[yelling] No, Mort.

You're not gonna get her number, okay?

Not now and not ever.

Just drop it.

Hey, amigo.

You don't have to be so hostile.

If you're still hung up on her, just let me know.

It's not as if I can read minds.

Adios.

He's really not such a bad guy.

He's just insensitive and crude.

I shouldn't have yelled at him.

Having problems with your girlfriend, huh?

I heard.

You must feel awful.

I could tell at the party how much you liked her

and who wouldn't?

She's beautiful and funny and intelligent.

And such a wonderful name.

I never dated a Teresa.

Can we just get back to the report?

Don't give up hope.

You never know how these things are going to turn out.

She looked like she was crazy about you.

I have a good feeling about you and Teresa.

[instrumental music]

[judge] The court has reviewed the file of Mark Scott Baylor.

You have pleaded guilty

to the involuntary manslaughter of Jerilyn Janet Maddox.

You did not mean to k*ll her

but you did deliberately strike her.

Because of the serious nature of the crime

probation is denied.

However, I find the mitigating factors in this case

your good standing in the community

your lack of prior criminal record

and your demonstration of sincere remorse

outweigh the aggravating factors.

Therefore I am sentencing you to state prison

for a period of three years. The low term.

Anytime already served in custody

will be credited to your sentence.

[gavel banging]

This court will take a 20 minute recess.

[bailiff] All rise.

May I have a minute?

Would you do me the favor of getting a note

to the lady with Mr. Mackenzie?

-Okay, fine. -Thanks.

-It's just not right. -You did all you could.

Well, then I'll have to do more.

It's Tom. I'm going to talk to him about Paige.

Don't badger him.

Excuse me.

This is from Mr. Baylor.

Aren't you the woman who hosted Open Mic the other night?

-Yes, I am. -I thought it was you.

You were great.

I was kind of channel chasing

and I didn't wanna watch for very long

but you hooked me for the whole half hour.

-Thank you very much. -Sure.

He could've done a lot worse, you know.

Yeah, he's innocent. So I know it.

You know it.

I can't prove it, but I know it.

So, when are we going to see you and Paige again?

Well, I guess you haven't spoken to her in a while.

-No. Why? -Yeah.

We're not seeing each other anymore.

Oh, come on, you're kidding. What happened?

Nothing.

You know, she's a bit of a snob.

But you can work around that if you try hard enough.

That's actually my decision.

Your husband is a very stubborn man.

He says the same thing about you.

He's going to have to give up this holy crusade

against Open Industries.

Why? What does it matter to you?

You already made your deal.

I'll tell you why it matters.

Right now, his case against Open Industries

is a footnote in their annual report.

If he keeps it up,

if he continues to antagonize them,

they're going to get nervous.

You don't trust the people you're covering for.

I trust them to be consistent.

Of the two retirees that have chosen to go up against them

one has been beaten, the other is dead.

Are you trying to scare me?

No, I'm trying to convince you

that Mack has to give up the crusade.

Call off the troops.

I don't want to fall out of a seven story window.

I don't want Mack to, either.

[guitar music]

Listen! We're late.

-[Val] Frank's already on. -[Danny] It's all right.

[Danny] He got two sets, we got plenty of time.

[blues music]

That's the Blues.

[applause]

Thank you.

This is great.

-There's a table right there. -Come on.

-Oh, no. -What's the matter?

Over there by the front of the stage.

Gary and Amanda. I didn't know they were gonna be here tonight.

-Do you want to leave? -No, why?

Because my ex-wife is with your ex-husband?

-Absolutely not. -Well, yes.

What am I going to do? Move to Utah?

Because I want to avoid ever seeing Amanda Michaels again?

-Absolutely not. -Okay.

I cared. It wouldn't matter.

I mean, it would matter, but I don't care.

All right.

I'm here to enjoy good music

with wonderful company.

-So am I. -Great.

[sighs] Great.

-What? -Danny and Val just came in.

Well, they're clear across the room.

Just seeing him makes me angry.

Okay, after you sing, we'll leave.

[sighs]

There's a woman in the audience

who has been knocking them dead on amateur day.

So we invited her to make her professional debut

here this evening.

Hey, that means that she's gonna get paid tonight.

[laughs] So come on, Ms. Amanda Michaels.

[applause]

I wish I'd pick another song.

It's too late now.

[applause]

[jazz music]

-Hi. -Hi.

Danny, we need to talk.

-Okay. -Now.

This will just take a minute.

Go ahead. That's all right. Go ahead.

[sighs]

So...

What's going on?

I don't know, I think your boyfriend is behaving

like an a*s.

Are you sure the problem isn't Amanda?

-Your attorney called today. -Yeah.

He says you want Chester.

I'm the one that took him from the pound.

You got him for me. He's my dog.

I'm the one who always took care of him.

Well, look how you take care of him.

-You lock him up in a car. -He loves the car.

[indistinct chattering]

...go nowhere to fantasy.

Well, so now we get down to it. It's my career.

Honey, singing a little dive does not constitute a career.

You can't stand the fact that I'm making it on my own.

Your own? You got a millionaire cowboy picking up the tab.

-Gary does not give me money. -Oh, he doesn't.

When you go out to dinner, who pays?

When you go to the movies, who pays?

When you go on a trip, who pays?

You're a b*stard.

What's the matter, Amanda? The truth hurt.

I am so glad to be out of this marriage!

So many years of being pushed and shoved and needled

into doing what you wanted to.

[yelling] Always what you wanted. Never what I wanted.

I never know what you wanted.

It changed every damn day.

Nothing. Nothing ever satisfied you.

The only one I feel sorry for is Val.

I hope she finds out about you sooner than I did.

Good luck with your cowboy.

Maybe he'll like moody, neurotic, insecure women.

And maybe Val like self-centered, insensitive,

immature men.

Maybe we should give it up.

Because of what Baylor told me.

Because I'm out of options. I don't know where else to look.

Honey, why do you just cool up for a while? Just relax.

Maybe we can have Paige and Tom over for dinner. It'll be nice.

That'll be a little awkward since they've just broken up.

-They broke up? -Yep.

-Well, why? -I don't know.

I don't even think they know.

Maybe they'll get back together again.

Not according to him.

You know, here she meets a nice guy, a cop.

I wonder if Greg Sumner had anything to do

with the breakup.

-Let's do invite them over. -Do you think they'd come?

Well, we'll invite them separately.

We don't have to tell them what we're doing.

[laughs]

You don't want a meddle, do you?

I'm not meddling. This is not meddling.

This is helping, you know.

I mean, they're a lovely couple.

They look good together and everything.

What's wrong with bringing them together?

-They're terrific. -Cook your pancakes.

I told you to stop seeing Paige Matheson.

And I'm not seeing her.

She was at the police station.

She was at the police station

because I stood her up the night before.

Because of you.

As she came by to tell me off, which she did.

Okay, it's over.

It's... very reassuring, Tommy.

I knew that you didn't want anything to happen

to that pretty young lady.

Good for you. Good boy.

Chester.

I'm home.

Chester?

Chester.

[intriguing music]

Chester?

Damn it, Danny.

-Why did you do it? -What?

Oh, grow up.

What did you think you'd accomplish by stealing Chester?

-Come here, Chester. -This is my dog.

Why are you acting this way, Danny?

It's over. Don't you get it?

Yeah, I get it. I understand. You want to take my dog.

I want--

He's mine.

-No, he's not. -Danny.

Come on, Chester.

-Come on, buddy. Come here. -Danny.

Come here.

-My dog. -I don't believe this.

I'm embarrassed to say I was ever married to you.

My dog.

You're really being childish, you know that?

Get out of the way.

How badly do you want him?

-Danny? -I guess not badly enough.

[eerie music]

[yelling] My dog. It's my dog.

You're not getting my dog

Sick, you need help.

Where you going? I thought you want the dog.

I have nothing else to say to you.

Maybe I have something to say to you.

Well then talk to my attorney.

You can't leave. I'm talking to you.

-I have some questions for you. -You're hurting me!

Like, how is your cowboy lovers?

Is he better than I am? What do you guys do?

You leave the lights on, huh?

You are my wife.

The least you can do is tell me how sex is

with the man you're going to bed with.

I want to know!

[barking]

Danny.

Danny. Danny, honey, I swear.

I promise. Danny, honestly.

Nothing has happened between us.

We haven't gone to bed together. We haven't had sex.

I always know when you're lying to me, Amanda.

I'm not lying. I'm not lying.

You go home, you shake hands and you leave, right?

No, Danny. Nothing has happened between us.

Danny. Danny, honey, listen.

You can have Chester, okay?

All right? Really. You can keep him. He's yours.

I was wrong to take him. He's yours. You can keep him.

-No one else I want. -What?

No. No, Danny, I don't want to.

No. No.

[yelling] Stop it.

You need a little coaxing?

[screaming] No, Danny.

[screaming] Danny, no. Help! Help me!

[screaming] No, Danny! Help me!

[screaming] Help! Help!

[screaming] Help me!

[screams]

[eerie music]

No, Danny, no. I'm gonna be sick!

-Shut up. -I really mean it. Danny.

You want the dog. You want the dishes.

-And everything you way. -Danny, no.

Shut up!

[sobbing] Danny.

[breathing heavily] Not... another word.

Yeah, that's better.

Much better.
