14x14 - The Way Things Were

[bunniefuu]

[bus horn honking]

Hey, hey, hey. Don't forget your lunch.

[Bobby] Peanut butter and jelly? I'm sick of peanut butter.

I don't want cream cheese and jelly.

Yeah? Well, I made tuna fish. Okay?

And no trading lunches for candy, alright?

-Betsy does that. -I don't do that. You do it.

Remember the time you traded your lunch for a candy bar?

No. You... No, you got it...

[indistinct chatter]

Hi. Where's Meg?

With Karen.

-Problem at school? -No.

Meg's sick?

No.

So how come Karen drove Meg?

Karen took Meg with her to New York.

-New York? -She went to see Diana

for a couple of days.

You know, she hasn't seen her in a while.

Why did Karen take Meg

in the middle of the school year?

I don't know. I'll give you Diana's number.

You can ask Karen.

-Mack. What's going on? -Nothing.

Karen decided that she can't trust me.

-What? -Yeah.

[chuckles] I don't understand.

What's to understand?

-She left me. -She's left you?

You make it sound like a big thing.

It ain't no big thing

Mack, has Karen left you or not?

Yeah, she left me. She hasn't left me.

What's the difference?

I don't know.

[theme music]

[Paige] So, with this new program

no one will have to hand-deliver messages.

It will streamline our interoffice communications.

What about privacy?

Well, we each enter a personal code.

-[keys clacking] -[computer beeps]

[Claudia] Ah! This machine doesn't like me.

This machine isn't alone.

-Would you like me to help you? -I'll figure it out.

Okay, but I know what button to push.

You certainly do.

-Greggie. Good morning. -Good morning, girls.

So, is this business or pleasure?

It's both. Aren't you going to welcome me back?

I've come to reclaim my empire.

-No. -Yes.

-You can't. -I can.

Gregory, you turned everything over to us.

Lock, stock, and barrel, legally.

Listen, I'm gonna offer you market value for your shares

and if you're a good girl during the transition

I'll let you head up the foundation again.

I don't want that job. I like this job.

And you can continue doing what you're doing

and you can also have that office.

Oh, I'm holding on to my shares.

Is that a no, girls?

That's a "no, thank you."

Yes, reverend. No. No, sir.

No, I can come there if you like. Yeah.

Okay. Looking forward to it. Okay, you too. Bye.

-Morning, Kate. -Morning.

-Kate, look... -Gary, it's okay. I'm okay.

You don't have to say anything, really.

No, I just wanna say this, okay?

Your friendship is one of the things

I value most right now.

I know that.

I've been lying awake trying to come to terms

with what happened.

Gary, I need your signature.

It was too fast. I was way too fast.

I don't know what I'm feeling right now

and you're being around is kind of thrown me.

You don't have to explain.

What happened, happened, and I just...

jumped to the wrong conclusion.

When you seemed to move in

it just caught me off guard, that's all.

It doesn't mean I don't want you there.

[door opens]

[telephone ringing]

Yeah?

Gary, it's Peterson.

He needs to see you down at the site.

Alright, I'll be right there.

You don't know what it's like right now.

I don't know what it's like.

All these... All these feelings all at once.

The loss of Val, the discovery of you.

I didn't mean to crowd you, and I didn't wanna push you.

I just wanted to help.

I know.

So we'll just...

see, right?

Right.

[somber music]

Well...

I better be going.

I'm back. I sent the package.

Where have you been?

Running the errands you gave me. Remember?

What are you up to?

What does it look like I'm up to?

A mess?

-We gotta fix this. -I don't know, Mack.

Looks like you've had enough caffeine already.

Very funny. Damn.

Why don't you leave it before they declare you

a public menace?

Did you get envelopes and stamps?

Yes, I did.

Well, you should have got more coffee too.

I can see that now.

Hey, Pegg. Look.

Don't use that "men" attitude with me, okay?

Stop barking at me, Mack.

If you're mad at Karen, bark at her.

-Why don't you call her? -Who?

Don't give me that.

I know when something's bothering you

and half the time I know what it is.

Well, this is one of the half times

that you're wrong.

Oh.

Where'd she go?

Who said she went anywhere?

Nobody.

New York.

Oh.

I'm going out for coffee.

Hi.

Why were you so surprised I made that offer?

You knew it was coming.

Just didn't expect it so soon.

Look, if you wanna try to come back here

that's your business.

I don't have to sit around and watch you try.

I'll make you the same offer I made to Claudia.

I like what I do here. I intend to keep on doing it.

-Well, you can keep on doing it. -Without you.

It's a rough world, babe. Survival of the fittest.

Well, you're not looking so fit to me, friend.

Get out.

Get out.

[sighs]

It's all your fault, Mortski.

It's all your fault.

He never told her about how he got the money?

About anything, as far as I could tell.

I mean, I think Mack was trying to protect her and they...

but it was...

Oh, gossiping?

Mack, I...

-Don't let me stop you. -It's my fault.

-I brought it up. -Well, let's hear it.

-Come on, out with it. -No, Mack. I'm sorry.

Come on. Out with it. It's my personal life.

-Let's hear it. -Oh, stop it.

You wear your heart on your sleeve

and people react.

People who like you and wanna help.

-By gossiping? -By trying to understand.

So long, boss.

You have that effect on all women

or just the ones that like you?

What do you want?

World peace and end of famine, but I'll settle for a drink.

-I asked you what you wanted. -A drink.

Thought maybe you'd like to join me.

[scoffs] What for?

Well, we can discuss a little business.

It'd be nice if Karen can come too if she's available.

-She's not. -Well, how do you know?

-Call her. -She's in New York.

I'm not calling her now.

Karen didn't take a powder, did she?

Go get you a drink.

Come on, I'll buy you the beer to crying.

-Not tonight, Gregory. -Tonight's the night, Mack.

Take your mind off your troubles.

Talk about the good old days.

[chuckles]

-The good old days. -They were good to me, pal.

Well...

I'll be over at Clancy's having a pop.

If you wanna join me, I'll see you there.

[indistinct chatter]

-To perfection. -[Mack chuckles]

Do you believe in that?

Perfection, huh?

[Mack] Oh.

Nobody's really perfect.

You think you're perfect.

Well, I'm an exception to the rule.

Oh, you're right.

Like when you were trying to turn this country around

[laughs] and you...

and you sold yourself from being the right guy

to steer the rudder.

Well, I was.

For a minute, there was the right guy at the right place

at the right time to do the job, but just for a minute.

-Where the hell is five? -Up at the top.

Looks like an S.

So what happened?

-And then it went by. -Yeah.

-You let it go by. -I did.

I did that, my friend.

[laughing] No, no, no, no, no.

I'm not your friend. I'm just an old acquaintance.

You think I went through all this trouble to bail you out

because you're an old acquaintance?

Hey, I didn't ask you to bail me out.

"I didn't ask you to bail me out."

You're starting to sound like a broken record.

-I'll take one. -You invited me here, you know.

Starting to remind me of Karen.

-You two have a lot in common. -That we do.

You're so sure yourself, you know.

It's kind of hard living with someone

who thinks of themselves as self-righteous

all the time, you know?

Six.

Well...

And I gotta start acting stupid

just to let her know that stupidity exists.

Well, you got that act down.

To you and Karen and everyone else

and all that self-righteousness.

-I'll drink to that. -[clinks bottle]

Another round here, gentlemen?

[grunts] Where's the phone?

Over in the corner by the ladies' room.

Yeah. Thanks. You know what I'm gonna do?

I'm gonna call Peggy and, you know

tell her I'm sorry or something.

Looks like he's reached his limit.

Well, it's his birthday, you know.

He's celebrating the... Well, it's got a zero in.

[indistinct] how old he is, but I'm driving anyway

so why don't you give us doubles this time

but put ginger ale in mind?

Good idea.

[Claudia] Hmm.

[Claudia chuckles]

That's perfect.

Good.

Keep relaxing.

Ow. Ow.

-What's that? -Oh...

It's my brother.

He's trying to take everything I have.

-He will not succeed. -I know he won't.

What do you mean, everything I have?

-The Sumner Group. -[chuckles]

He can't.

-I know he can't. -And he won't.

I know he won't.

In which case I have a small favor to ask.

I already did you a favor, Nick.

If it were up to me, I would have ended there.

[tense music]

There are no more favors, Nick. We're even.

Sorry, Claudia, but neither of us has a choice.

There better be a choice.

I'm about to start the fight of my life.

The last thing I'm going to risk is any more favors.

Capeesh?

I will see what I can do.

[coughs]

Hey, you know, Paige is doing a fantastic job

at Sumner Group, isn't she?

Where's that coming from?

Well, that's why you invited me out there, isn't it?

I mean, talk about the Sumner Group

so I thought I'd cut to the chase finally--

Got any spare change?

Well, I was hoping that I would get you

drunk enough so that you would sell me Meg's shares.

-Why would I do that? -Must be the recession.

You never cared much for the Sumner Group.

This way, you can get away from it

-and make a profit. -Sounds good to me.

You don't know him like I know him.

-What's the catch, Gregory? -There is no catch.

-It's a great deal. -I don't know.

I gotta get back to you on this one.

Looks like you could make a lot of money here.

-[man] Go for it. -Huh?

He's saying you should sell me your shares.

Why don't you get us a cab or something?

Sure. Got nothing better to do.

Look, you never liked the Sumner Group anyway.

It's board of directors and all that kind of stuff.

-It's not your style. -I know.

But Gregory, come on, I just can't do that.

You know, I gotta get her to approve it, you know.

How are you gonna get approval

of someone you're not even talking to?

Business. It's business.

That means you're gonna call her?

Yeah, I guess... Look, I'm drunk.

I'm tired. I wanna go home.

Thank you. Goodnight.

Goodnight.

I would have worked for shares, you know.

That's because you're a bright guy.

Not quite what I had in mind, but, hey, it's the recession.

Where have you been?

I've been working on my return to prominence.

I'm getting back in the saddle again.

Are you drunk?

No. Mack's drunk.

Where is he?

He's in a cab.

What saddle are you getting back into?

I'm returning to the Sumner Group.

Oh, yeah?

Does Paige know about this?

She knows.

Hates the idea.

Thinks she can get along without me.

What do you think?

Greg?

We had a deal, remember?

[instrumental music]

Mack?

Mack, wait. Wait, please.

Look. I...

I know we ended on a bad note the other day,

but I think we can put the past behind us if we try.

I'd just like to talk to you and Karen about it.

Karen's not here.

-Where'd she go? -She's in New York.

You know, if she's planning to take a vacation

I wish she'd checked with the other directors.

Greg does wanna come back to the company.

I think we should stand together.

Yeah, well, she's not on vacation.

-She's visiting her daughter... -No?

Diana, in New York.

-That's not a vacation? -No. No.

Oh? Oh. Are you alright?

Yeah. No.

You know, I really can't deal with this right now

'cause I'm tired of this damn Sumner Group.

I'm tired of all the damn stuff.

I'm tired of your damn brother for getting me drunk.

-Excuse me. -Oh. Greggie got you drunk?

Oh, no, he didn't get me drunk. I got drunk.

He invited me out and I got drunk.

-Oh. -You'll have to excuse me.

I got to go to the office where Peggy is waiting for me

with two aspirin, some water, maybe some juice

maybe like a bagel or something.

-[indistinct chatter] -Fine. Fine.

Fine.

Hope you feel better.

-[sighs] Women. -[Gary chuckles]

-What's up, Bob? -Betsy.

She says I always try to make her cry.

Yeah? Do you?

I don't try to, but she always does anyway.

She says Kate won't take us bike riding on Saturday

because you made her cry.

She says boys always make girls cry.

[sighs] Yeah, well, works both ways.

Bob, Kate was upset

because she thought we didn't want her around.

Why do you think that?

Well, I guess because you and Betsy and I

have our hands full and we forgot to show Kate

how much we appreciate her.

You mean we have our hands full of thinking about mom?

Yeah.

I think about her all the time, even when I try not to.

I know. So do I.

Makes me feel lonely.

Me too, but...

that's what happens when someone

who made you feel special is gone.

Mom didn't mean to make us cry either, did she, dad?

No, Bob, she didn't.

I guess I just don't understand yet...

but I'll keep trying if you will.

Okay.

Women.

[Gary chuckles]

[Claudia] Here, these should make you feel better.

I can't believe I ever enjoyed tequila shooters

with beer chasers.

I must have been truly nuts in the old days.

Gregory.

You're nuts every day.

So what's the story, sis?

-You're going to sell or what? -Or what?

-No. -Mistake.

I don't think so.

Claudia, I got you by the what-do-you-call-it.

I beg your pardon?

There's a $500,000 discrepancy floating around here.

What five hundred thousand dollars, hm?

Never heard of it. Excuse me.

Plus a little finagling with foreign funds.

-Finagling? -Finagling.

-Could you be more specific? -Not at the moment.

Has to do with money laundering. I'm just getting into it.

Can't imagine what you're referring to.

I bet you can.

Just for curiosity, what's your offer?

Market value.

Plus?

Ten percent.

Twenty percent? Oh, how generous.

Alright. Twenty percent. What do you say?

I don't know.

Okay, I'll throw in general amnesty.

Sure. I don't need amnesty.

You never can tell.

And it'll be there.

I'll let you know in a couple of days.

[grunts] Okay.

Good. I'll be talking to you.

Looking a little pale, ace?

Sister worked you over, did she?

No, it was your mother.

Got some appetite for an old broad.

I think Claudia's coming to her senses.

[elevator bell ringing]

-[knocks on door] -Yes?

Paige, it was sweet of you to knock.

What did Greg mean, you're coming to your senses?

I'm thinking of selling Greg my shares.

What?

[Claudia] I'm becoming bored.

We can't let him get away with this.

-We? -Don't be flip, please.

Why?

I don't have to explain that to you.

Yes, you do. You enjoy being on top here

just as much as I do.

Now we have the power to stop him together.

We agreed to stop him.

-We did? -In substance, we did.

-You can't cross over now. -Yes, I can.

I'm gonna sell Greg my shares.

I think it's the right thing to do.

[tense music]

-I don't get it. -I want out.

Too bad. We could have made a great team.

Buon appetito.

Enjoy.

-[Nick] Ciao. -[Anne] Thank you.

I wanna thank you for not canceling today.

I know how busy you are.

I can't believe you brought me here.

Why? The food's great. The ambiance is wonderful.

The host, your ex-lover.

My ex -lover. So what difference does it make?

Well, judging by the way you two look at each other

I don't think it's gonna be ex-anything for much longer.

I don't look at him any differently

than I look at anybody else.

He's just being friendly.

And do you think he'd be so friendly

if you weren't married to Greg's millions?

He was friendly with me long before I was involved

with Greg, if you recall.

Yes, I seem to remember.

He stole all your money and then took off

in the middle of the night.

He had a family emergency, Paige.

And I didn't bring you here to talk about Nick.

Oh, you just wanted to show him off?

I want to talk about Greg.

He wants to come back to the Sumner Group, you know?

So?

Well, how do you feel about that?

Do you mean, am I worried that I'm going to lose my job

or that I'm glad that the two of us

are gonna start sleeping together again?

-Are you? -What?

Glad he's coming back?

Why should I answer that?

Because if you don't want him to

the two of us could work together

to keep him out of the company.

[laughs] And what do you propose to do?

Spend all of his money before he can buy

the company back?

[laughs] I love the way you think, Paige.

Why don't you forget about Greg, mother?

Concentrate on something that you can actually change.

[somber music]

Hey, feet. Feet on the couch.

-Oh. Sorry. -Oh!

I can't get over that Meg. What a mouth on that kid.

Just like another little girl I once had.

Oh, I wasn't as smart as she is.

-Oh, yes, you were. -Well...

I know it wasn't as pretty.

You know, I'm thinking of keeping her here

and I'm gonna turn her into a model.

I just think the designers would eat her up.

-That's what I'm afraid of. -[chuckles] Oh, come on.

You were worried about me moving out here

and look at how great I've done.

-[telephone ringing] -Yeah.

I'm very proud of you.

[Diana]I know you are.

-Hello? -Karen.

-Mack? -Hi.

Is everything okay at home?

[chuckles] Everything's fine. Quiet.

-Is that daddy? - Yeah. Um...

How are you?

-Let me talk to him. -Okay, honey, just in a second.

Wait. I'm sorry.

Karen, I miss you and Meg.

Well, she misses you too.

Um...

-Look, Mack... -Karen.

I know you need time and I respect that.

[Meg] Please, mommy, please.

Gregory needs to know about the shares and ...

-Mommy... -Okay.

Okay. Okay. Here. Look, Mack.

Meg really wants to talk...

-Karen, I-- - Hi, daddy.

Hey, Meg.

How you doing? Are you having a good time?

Yeah. I love New York.

So busy and noisy.

And the people are funny. They all talk at once.

Well, that's New York.

Don't pick up any bad habits

and help Diana around the apartment

so she enjoys having you.

Oh, she loves having me here. She thinks I should be a model.

Yeah. Wow.

I bet you she thinks you should finish school

first too huh?

Meg, listen.

You make sure mom takes you to that famous toy store

I've told you about.

Sure. Daddy, um...

I filled the cookie jar so you wouldn't get hungry

and I left my teddy bear at the table

so you wouldn't have to eat alone.

Yeah. I'm looking right at him.

-I love you, sweetheart. -I love you too.

-Bye. -Let me talk to your mother--

[hang up tone]

[sighs]

She had two foals when I owned her.

They both turned out to be winners.

Well, she always was a problem breeder.

Just keep reading her until you settle her.

Alright. Let me know what happens.

Who's a problem breeder? An old girlfriend?

Uh, no. A horse I sold a guy.

She's a lovely mare.

Couldn't race herself

but she had very fast babies.

Problem was, she hated to be bred.

Find that hard to believe.

You coming to bed?

Not for a while. Don't wait for me.

What I had in mind requires a partner.

Little gin rummy, huh?

You know, Greg, somewhere along the line

somebody must have told you you were funny.

You're not.

You're sad.

Do you think you'll ever tell me something I don't already know?

You think you'll ever make love to me again?

I don't know.

The heart wants what the heart wants

and at the moment, it doesn't want you.

[dramatic music]

Well, then I'm gonna get dressed and go shopping.

A little late for shopping, isn't it?

But I'm shopping for something all night.

-Good luck. -[door closes]

-[Nick] Mmm. -[Claudia] Ooh.

[Nick] Mmm, mmm, mmm.

-Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. -Oh? Oh.

[Claudia giggles]

-I almost forgot. -[laughing] What?

My little favor.

A little high-tech love note

for the Sumner Group computers.

Uh-unh, Nick. No more favors.

We're free of your friends.

-[Claudia laughs] -What are you talking about?

I'm leaving the Sumner Group.

I struck a deal with Greg.

What?

What kind of a deal?

Well, I'm planning to sell him back my shares.

Market value plus. A very handsome plus.

No, you can't.

-I can. -No.

-You have certain obligations. -[Claudia laughs]

Not that I know of. Here.

Oh, no? Yeah?

Wait till your brother finds out.

I'm sure a general amnesty

can be folded into my sales agreement.

Claudia, this is not going to work out.

-[knocks on door] -It will.

Vanessa. Working overtime?

-How unlike you. -Come in, Anne.

-Join the party. -Darling, well...

you just have to relax.

-I am relaxed. -Does she come here often?

Not very.

Five, maybe six times a week.

Oh.

Nick. Darling.

[chuckles] Oh. Anna.

Ciao. What a surprise.

Annie.

Claudia.

What a surprise.

What brings you out so late at night?

I was shopping

and I decided to stop in for a little sweet.

Ah, shopping.

At this hour?

Fewer crowds, less traffic.

Well, I'll leave you to your calories.

Do give my love to your husband.

I will.

I will see you... later.

-Ciao. -Ciao.

Ciao.

Anna, what's that necessary?

Not necessary. Fun.

Why are you here?

Guess.

Excuse me?

I thought we were going to be just friends.

Yes, we were.

Now we're gonna be better friends.

Anna...

Aren't you gonna kiss me?

[dramatic music]

Anna...

No. You're right.

This isn't gonna work.

Anna, come on. Anna?

Ciao.

Vanessa, darling. Come over here. Play with Nick.

[music continues]

[telephone ringing]

[telephone ringing]

Hello?

Yes. Hi.

Yes, I was just with her. I--

[suspenseful music]

No, please, no.

Just... You can't do that.

I can convince her not to sell the shares.

Yes, I just need a little bit more time.

[Greg] How was shopping?

-Fine. -Find anything you liked?

I wouldn't be here if I had.

-What are you staring at? -You.

[chuckles] What for?

You want something?

You see something you like?

-Anything I can do for you? -Just being sociable.

Then be sociable by yourself, okay?

'Cause, you know... I gotta tell you something.

Up until now, I've been ready.

-Ready for what? -Anything. Everything.

Ready to make you happy. Ready to make you a nice home.

Ready to make you proud in public.

Drive you nuts in bed, but you didn't want that.

Okay.

But you know

because I'm the one who knows what you're missing,

I'm also the one that knows what a loser you are.

So if you'll excuse me,

it's hard to strip naked in front of a loser.

When I first started at the Sumner Group

I knew what they said behind my back.

"There goes Sumner's bimbo."

Well, I took it because I knew that I could

prove myself, and now they know

I'm not just a bimbo with an attitude.

Well, I love your attitude, Paige.

Hey, I probably shouldn't have had that office

on the penthouse floor first, but I've earned it.

Now you're afraid Gregory will take it away?

Of course he will.

Mack, I don't wanna live in his shadow again.

It's like you.

When you first started your law firm,

you did it because you didn't wanna live

in the shadow of the State Capitol anymore.

You wanted your own identity, and that's all that I want.

Well, it is his company, you know.

It was. He gave it away, remember?

Besides, he doesn't care about the company.

He just wants more people to push around.

You know, I bet he even misses Mort

drooling all over him.

Everybody has somebody to look up to.

Come on, Mack.

You know, I told him he could have Meg's shares back.

Have you done it?

No, I kind of promised.

I made a... Like a gentleman's agreement.

A gentleman's agreement with Sumner?

How many times has he broken his word to you?

To everyone on this planet?

A lot of times.

You wanna know something, Paige?

I'm tired of hating this guy.

It just takes too much work.

Well, what does Karen think?

Well, she says it's up to me.

And?

What are your thoughts?

-What are my thoughts? -Yeah.

My thoughts just are I'm as proud of you

as I possibly can be.

The best daughter a man could have.

And if I could do anything for you

I would do that to help you.

Now if you want those shares, just say so.

-I want them. -Then you've got them.

Not because of him. Because of you.

Thank you, Mack.

You gotta get her signature on 'em.

-Will you ask her for me? -She's not here.

When she gets home.

I don't know when that'll be.

-Uh-oh. -Don't uh-oh.

She's just not here.

Something's up with you two?

Ask her. She's got all the answers.

Hey, look.

To my daughter, the financier.

-Uh-oh. It's burning -[indistinct chatter]

[knocks on door]

-Morning. Come on in. -Hey.

-Are the kids ready yet? -Yeah, almost.

They had kind of a hard time getting up this morning.

Well, we could have done it later.

No, we just stayed up past our bedtime

watching Beauty and the Beast for the fifth time.

Sounds like fun.

Yeah. I woke up humming the tunes.

-[Bobby] No. It's mine. -[Betsy] No way. It's mine.

-[Bobby] No. This one's mine. -Hey, you guys.

It doesn't matter. They're both the same.

Just promise me you'll wear them, okay?

-Okay? Okay. Good. -[Betsy] I promise.

Now look. Uh...

Your sweatshirts and your lunches

are both in your knapsack.

And be sure and give Kate a fair share of lunch.

That was the deal.

I'll do it, or else Bobby

will eat everything.

-Will not. -Think you can handle this?

Yeah, I think so. You guys ready to go?

-[Bobby and Betsy] Yeah. -Okay. See you later.

Okay. Have fun.

What are you doing here?

Shouldn't you be at the restaurant?

I should be, but I can't keep away.

Oh, I can live with that.

[Claudia laughs]

You were very naughty to me before.

Oh, you think I was naughty before?

-Come here. -No, come on.

I mean, teasing me about selling your shares back to Summer.

Oh, wait.

That was no tease. I am selling my shares.

[chuckles] I don't think so.

-Why? -Oh, come on.

You are on top of the world

ruling one of the most powerful companies in the country.

-Why give that up? -Because it's not fun anymore.

And why isn't it?

Let's just say that your friends had a little bit to do with it.

-Oh, come on. That was so small -Once is small.

Twice means more is on the way.

[Bobby] Come on. A race up the hill.

[Betsy] Not fair. You had a head start.

[Kate] Hey, guys, careful around the corner, okay?

I gotta stop for a sec.

[tense music]

[Bobby] Hurry up, Betsy. You're way too slow.

[Betsy] I am not. I'm gonna beat you.

[Nick] It's not going to be that easy, Claudia.

My associates will not allow--

[Claudia] Your associates bit the hand that fed them.

Now I am out of the Sumner Group once and for all.

-End of discussion, Nick. -[Kate] Guys, be careful.

[Nick] Claudia, you don't know what you're dealing with.

You're jeopardizing much more than just a company.

These people would do whatever it takes to get what they want.

Believe me, they will convince you

to do what I ask.

They won't take no for an answer.

[engine rumbling]

[tire screeching]

[Bobby] Kate, get out of the way!

[Betsy] Kate, I'm scared.

[Kate] Get off the road now.

[Bobby] Kate, look out!

[indistinct chatter]

[thudding]
