Liza: What are you doing?
Adam: I didn't plan that.
I -- just couldn't help myself.
Liza: Really?
Did you enjoy it?
Adam: Oh, yes.
Liza: And you'll never
forget it?
Adam: No.
Very unlikely.
Liza: Good.
Because it's the last time
you'll ever get one like it.
I don't ever want you near me
ever again.
Now, sit down.
Adam: I love you.
And I believe you love me, too.
Liza: Believe whatever
you want, Adam.
Adam: You can't deny that
kiss we just shared.
There was something there.
You felt it, too.
I know you did.
Liza: There could have been
a symphony involved in that
kiss, Adam, and it doesn't
matter.
Now, please, sit down.
Adam: It does matter!
Liza: No, it doesn't!
Chemistry has never been
a problem with us.
Honesty has.
Honesty and everything that came
along with it.
Trust, respect, appreciation --
Adam: I appreciate you.
I respect you.
Liza: Really?
Is that why you bred me?
Adam: Don't say that.
I did what I did for us.
Liza: Let go of me.
Any little shred of hope that
I had for either one of us is
gone.
You killed it.
Adam: As long as we have
Colby, we still have hope.
Liza: Oh, I was wondering how
long it would take you
to use her.
You will not use my daughter.
Adam: I'm not using her.
She's my daughter, too.
Where is she?
Liza: She's with her father.
Adam: Jake Martin is not
her father.
I am.
You can't change that.
Liza: No.
But I can make sure she never
steps foot in this house again.
Adam: No --
all right, you don't need
to threaten me.
I've done everything you asked
me to do, Liza.
I didn't tell Jake.
And, believe me, I had plenty
of opportunities.
Liza: Oh, I'm sure that
probably killed you.
Adam: This is killing me.
I've kept my word.
Shouldn't that count
for something?
Becca: And that's Eli,
Ryan, and Tiffany.
Everyone, this is Mallory.
She and I work together
at the soup kitchen sometimes.
Mallory: Other times I'm
at PVU.
Ryan: Welcome, Mallory.
Eli: Can I get you something
to drink?
Mallory: Some ginger ale?
Oh, where shall I put this?
Becca: Oh.
Eli: Oh, I'll show you.
Becca: Yeah. Eat.
Fun, fun, fun.
Ryan: She seems upbeat.
Tiffany: Yeah, Eli thinks
so, too.
Becca: Oh.
[Key turns in lock]
Ryan: It's Scott!
Becca: Oh, my --
shh, shh. Everyone hide!
Quick, hide.
Ryan, get the lights.
Ryan: Ok.
Group: Surprise!
Scott: What's going on?
It's not my birthday.
Becca: Well, it's a good
thing, because this isn't
a birthday party.
Congratulations for getting
into film school!
Scott: Wow.
Ryan: Congratulations.
Scott: Thank you.
Look at this.
Look at this.
You guys went all out.
I'm touched.
And presents.
Hey, presents and everything.
Ryan: Well, not quite
everything.
No cake with candles.
Scott: Oh, well --
Becca: But we do have cake.
Right, Ryan?
Ryan: You know what I'll do,
is I'll douse it with brandy,
set it on fire --
Becca: No, no.
Don't you dare.
Please.
Ryan: Oh, ok.
Scott: Well, presents are
real, right?
Becca: Yes.
Tiffany: But no presents till
we toast you, and I'll get
the drinks.
Scott: Becca, I don't know
what to say.
This is great.
Thank you.
Becca: Um -- you weren't
really surprised, were you?
Scott: Sure I was.
Didn't you see my face when
I walked in?
Becca: Yes, and it's a good
thing you're going to be behind
the cameras instead of in front
of them.
Scott: That bad, huh?
Becca: Well, I don't think
anyone else noticed.
So, how'd you find out?
Scott: Oh, it's not important
how I found out.
It's still great.
I appreciate you doing this
for me.
Becca: You're welcome.
But when did you put it
together?
Scott: I didn't put it
together.
Someone let it slip
accidentally.
Becca: Who?
It couldn't be anyone here,
could it?
Oh.
So it had to be someone not
here.
Greenlee: Surprise!
Are we too late?
Becca: Accidentally, my foot.
Edmund: Hi, Alex.
Alex: Oh, my goodness.
Hello.
What are you doing here?
Edmund: I was looking
for you.
The nurse said you were doing
your rounds.
Alex: Yes.
Just about done, actually.
Edmund: Ok, good.
Would like to join me for dinner
and go over these foundation
papers?
Alex: Oh.
Edmund: Well, dinner?
Alex: I don't think I've
eaten today.
I don't want to go over those.
Edmund: All right,
well, that settles it.
I'll make reservations.
Ok?
Alex: You know what?
I can't leave the hospital.
There's a patient I want to keep
an eye on.
Rae: Hey.
I got your message that
you called, wanted to see me.
Hi, Edmund.
Edmund: Hi.
Rae: How are you?
I hope I'm not interrupting
anything.
I'm not, am I?
Alex: No, no, no, no.
Edmund: No, no, we were just
talking about --
Alex: Food.
Edmund: Cafeteria food, yes.
Alex: Yeah, sorry.
Edmund: I'll see if I can
bring us back something edible.
Yeah.
Alex: Good luck.
Edmund: Yeah.
Alex: Hi.
Rae: Hi.
Alex: You didn't need to rush
over here.
I just called you.
Rae: No, no, I didn't.
I was already in the hospital,
actually.
I'm doing a report on
an adoption story.
Alex: Oh.
Rae: I was very pleased,
though, that you called.
Even encouraged.
Alex: Oh, it's not about me.
Rae: Ah.
Alex: No, it's a patient
of mine, a little girl.
Rae: Oh.
Alex: She's suddenly stopped
speaking, and I can't find anything neurological
or physical that's wrong
with her.
So I think it's psychological.
Rae: So you're calling me
in for a consultant?
Alex: Yeah.
I think that she would feel
comfortable with you.
Rae: Oh.
Alex: Whatever it is,
we're going to have to approach
it carefully because she seems
so traumatized.
I have a feeling that there
might be abuse in the family.
Rae: Ah.
Well, you know, that is always
a possibility.
Alex: Yeah.
What do you think?
Rae: Where is she?
Alex: Great.
She's right in there.
Rae: Ok.
Alex: I want to bring these
books.
Hang on a second.
Hi, sweetie.
Hi.
This is a friend of mine.
This is Dr. Cummings -- Rae.
Rae, this is Karen.
Rae: Hello, Karen.
Alex: So, Rae has her own
radio show.
Isn't that cool?
Rae: Ta-da.
Alex: Yeah.
People call up and they talk
to her about their problems.
And then when she's not
on the radio, she talks
to people person to person.
And that way they can tell
her what's really bothering
them.
You know, sort of talk about
the private things that
they wouldn't like anyone else
to hear.
I know, sweetheart.
Sometimes these things are very
frightening to talk about
at first.
But you're safe here.
You have no reason to feel
afraid.
You can talk about anything
you want.
Anything at all.
Adrian: Hey. How's it going?
Mateo: "How's it going"?
I've been working on this thing
all day, and it's still leaking.
Look at that.
It's just flowing right
into the drain.
What am I doing wrong?
Adrian: I don't know,
but don't waste my time.
Don't waste yours, either.
Get back to work.
Adrian: Hayley.
Hayley: Adrian, hi.
Adrian: Uh-huh.
Looking for someone?
Hayley: Yeah, is Mateo around
tonight?
Adrian: Yeah, as a matter
of fact, he is behind the bar
working on the leaky beer tap.
You want me to get him for you?
Hayley: Oh.
Maybe I shouldn't bother him.
Adrian: Well, actually,
you'd be doing me a huge favor.
He has been working on that
thing for about an hour
and a half.
If you can preoccupy him
for about 15 minutes, I can have
it fixed myself.
What do you say?
Hayley: Sounds familiar.
Tina: Hayley, hi.
Hayley: Oh, hi.
Tina: I am so sorry about
your uncle.
I mean, it's got to be
a terrible mistake.
Hey, I've met him here a couple
of times, and even I could see
he was a straight-up guy.
Anyway, see, I really hope
everything turns out ok.
Hayley: Thanks a lot.
Tina: You're welcome.
Adrian: Hey, listen,
partner, there's a customer that
needs your assistance.
Why don't you let me take it
from here.
Mateo: Oh, no, no, no, no.
I think I got this thing.
You handle it.
Adrian: Well, actually,
I think she'd like it
if you handled her yourself.
Mateo: You ok?
Hayley: Hmm.
Everything's a mess.
Just hold me, please.
Mateo: Is everything ok?
How are Amanda and Janet
holding up?
Hayley: Barely.
Brooke is over there
with them now.
Mateo: Well, that's good.
Hayley: Yeah.
Leave it to Uncle Trevor.
He called Brooke,
asked her to go over there
and keep an eye on Janet.
Mateo: What do you mean keep
an eye on her?
Hayley: Just, you know,
to watch out for her, make sure
that she's ok.
Mateo: Do you know more about
what happened that night than
you're saying?
Hayley: I can't get into it
right now with you.
I just --
Mateo: All right.
Hayley: I just needed you,
is all.
I just had this
overwhelming urge to touch base.
Mateo: Hey, anytime.
Hayley: I should go.
Mateo: Yeah.
Hey, listen, listen.
Why don't you -- why don't
you stay?
I mean, Brooke's there, right?
Stay.
Decompress.
Relax.
Hayley: Yeah, I guess.
It's awful, you know?
When I'm here I feel like
I should be there.
But when I'm there I feel
so useless, so --
I mean, I had no idea that uncle
Trevor and Janet were dealing
with, like, life-and-death
issues.
Mateo: Well, I mean,
how could you know?
They were hiding it
from everyone.
Hayley: I was living
with them.
You know, maybe if I hadn't had
been so caught up in my own
world, I could have been there
for them.
But now I just have to,
you know, sort of
stay back and hold back,
and I hate that.
Mateo: Hmm.
Hayley: What's so funny?
Mateo: It just seems to me
that you admitted that you feel
powerless.
That's a big deal in AA.,
Right?
Hayley: Yeah, it is.
Glad you remembered.
Mateo: You know,
sometimes just being there,
standing by, you know,
that's the best thing
you can do.
It's enough.
Hayley: That's what you've
been doing for me, isn't it?
You've been standing by.
Mateo: Well, you know,
it hasn't been easy.
I've been wanting just to rush
in and sweep you off your feet.
You know that.
But I also know it's the last
thing you needed.
You know, quick fixes --
they don't last.
As far as you're concerned, I --
I have all the time
in the world.
Hayley: You're right.
Sometimes standing by is enough.
Mateo: Yeah.
Ryan: But in every other way,
they were completely identical,
which I didn't get.
Mallory: That's funny.
Greenlee: Nice little
gathering.
Scott: Yeah, well,
I'm surprised you came.
Greenlee: Oh, I wouldn't have
missed it.
Ryan: So, that sounds like
a good movie.
Mallory: It was.
Ryan: Yeah.
Mallory: So, are
you a filmmaker, too?
Ryan: Uh, no.
No, I leave that up to Scott.
Mallory: So, what do you do?
Ryan: Not enough, actually.
I sell airtime at WRCW.
Mallory: Hmm.
Ryan: Yeah.
You want another one?
Mallory: I'd love one.
Ryan: All right.
Oh, hey. Hi.
[Leo laughs]
Leo: Becca.
[Leo whistles]
Becca: Hmm? Oh.
I am so sorry.
Leo: I was telling you how
much I enjoyed the other night.
Becca: Oh.
Leo: At the soup kitchen.
Becca: Yeah, it was --
you were a really good sport
about it.
Leo: Are you saying that
my motives were less than
humanitarian?
Becca: Are you saying
you want to volunteer again?
Greenlee: Sweet little
gathering, Becca.
You know, I can't remember
the last time I had onion dip
and chips.
Becca: Well, it would have
been sweeter if you hadn't
ruined it, Greenlee.
Greenlee: Pulling off
a surprise party is a lot harder
than it seems.
Especially with a man as savvy
as Scott.
Becca: Or with a mouth as big
as yours around.
Scott told me that you told
him, ok?
And, speaking of big mouths,
you know, there's lost of chips
here.
So why don't you just take a few
of them and stuff them.
Leo: Cute.
Greenlee: Don't you start.
Leo: I was making progress.
Greenlee: Not much.
Judging by the looks of things,
Becca's not giving you a second
thought.
Leo: Timing is everything.
Who's the new babe?
Greenlee: Nobody.
It's some semi cute local
in cheap shoes.
Leo: Oh, ok.
Now I get it.
I see why you've been such
a drag all night.
So Ryan dumped you.
Greenlee: Come on, we've done
this party.
Let's get out of here.
Liza: So you want kudos
for keeping your word.
Well, prepare yourself, Adam.
Normal people do it every single
day without the aid of threats.
Now, please sit down.
Adam: Fine.
Go ahead, go ahead.
Take your shots.
You've earned the right.
Might as well enjoy yourself.
Liza: Is that what you think
I'm doing?
You think I'm taking pleasure
in this?
I didn't want to do this.
I have no choice.
Adam: Of course you have
a choice.
Liza: No, I don't have
a choice.
I didn't even have a choice
in my own child's conception.
Adam: Can't you get past that
and appreciate the beautiful
child that the two of us made.
Liza: I thank God for Colby
every day.
Adam: So do I.
I've wanted to make us a family
more than anything else in this
world.
Liza: So did I.
And we tried over and over.
It's no use.
Adam: We love each other,
Liza.
Liza: Yes.
But it doesn't matter.
Adam: Do you realize you just
admitted that you still love me?
Liza: Loving you turned me
into a fool, Adam Chandler.
And I'm not going to let that
happen again.
I would sooner tear out my heart
than let that happen.
Adam: Then why did you come
here tonight?
Liza: To get the divorce
papers
and to offer you a deal.
Alex: So, now, I had these
books in my office, and I just
love them.
I love looking at pictures
of other countries.
Don't you?
Rae: You know what?
So do I.
Alex: Yeah?
Rae: Yeah, it gives me
an idea of all the places that
I might get to go to one day.
You like the scarf, Karen?
Do you?
It's a pretty color, isn't it?
It's my favorite col-- well,
actually, I really shouldn't say
that because I have so many
favorite colors.
Do you have a favorite color?
Alex: I do.
Rae: Do you?
Alex: Yes.
I like blue.
Just like the sky here in this
picture.
You see that?
Maybe you have more than one
favorite color.
Do you?
Rae: Do you?
Can you name a color that
you love?
Alex: Well, that's ok,
sweetheart.
You keep this book.
And then maybe later you'll show
me the pictures that you like
the best, yeah?
Ok.
Rae: It was nice to meet you,
Karen.
I hope I see you again very
soon.
Ok?
Alex: I'll be back
in a little while, all right?
Look at the book
Rae: Bye-bye.
Alex: What do you think?
Rae: I think she is
traumatized.
It's smart of you not to send
her home so quickly.
Alex: Yeah, I sensed that.
Rae: How?
Edmund: Well, the selection
was kind of slim, so I got
you a good old burger and --
what do you call it -- chips?
Alex: Yeah, french fries.
Um -- I can't eat this with you.
I'm going to go to my office
and make some calls.
I'm going to figure out
a legitimate way to keep
her in the hospital.
Rae: Good.
Alex: Ok.
Thank you so much, Rae.
Rae: You're welcome.
Let me know, all right?
Alex: Yes, I will.
Rae: Ok.
Alex: I will call you.
Thanks.
Edmund: Uh-huh.
How's the kid?
Rae: Same.
Edmund: How's our friend?
Rae: Same.
She's so guarded.
You know, it's so fascinating
to me -- she wants so much
to help this little girl have
a breakthrough, and yet she's
terrified to have one herself.
Edmund: I wish she would let
you help her.
Rae: She will, I hope,
when she's ready.
Edmund: Ok.
Well, maybe she's not ready
for a therapist.
But she could use a friend.
Rae: You know that I'm here
in Pine Valley on my own kind
of business.
And as long as I'm here, I will
do anything to help Alex.
There is something I would like
to ask you, though.
Edmund: Shoot.
Rae: Are your --
your concerns for her right
now -- are they only
as a brother-in-law, or is
something else going on here?
Alex: I thought you'd gone
for the evening.
David: Well, let's just say
I had a change of plans.
My dinner from hell ended early.
Alex: Oh.
Well, since you're here, I was
going to talk to the
cardiologist on call about
a consult.
But actually, you'd be much
better.
David: I should hope so.
Who's your patient?
Alex: A little girl.
Karen.
She's suddenly stopped speaking,
and I can't find any
neurological or physical reason
for it.
David: What about
psychological trauma?
Alex: Yeah, more than likely.
That's what the social worker
thinks, too.
David: Well, I'd be happy
to assist you, but why do
you need a cardiologist?
Alex: We're trying to keep
her out of the home till we can
figure out the cause
of the trauma.
And her medical history
indicates that she had a heart
murmur, so I was thinking that
could buy us some time.
David: Is that her chart?
Alex: Yeah.
David: Let me take a look
at it.
David: No problem.
With her past history, I can
keep her here for observation
and tests.
Alex: Oh, good.
Thank you, thank you.
David: That wasn't
so difficult, now, was it?
Isn't it refreshing to be able
to work with one another
without going at each other's
throats?
Alex: Yeah.
Yeah, I appreciate the
cooperation.
But I'm not a complete idiot.
David: What is that supposed
to mean?
Alex: I know what Erica did
behind my back.
I think it's disgusting.
And I bet you had something
too with it.
Liza: Jackson has explained
to me every single crime
you perpetrated against me.
Adam: Bully for Jack.
Now let's see if he can
prosecute me.
Liza: Oh, he can.
Adam: I'll take my chances.
Liza: I won't prosecute
if you sign the divorce papers
and you accept the custody
arrangement.
Adam: Custody
arrangement, huh?
What might that be?
Liza: Well, I can simplify it
for you.
You don't get to be in her life.
You don't visit her, you don't
talk to her, you don't buy
her presents.
You don't even wave
at her from across the room.
Adam: Not in a million years.
Colby is my flesh and blood,
and I will be part
of her life
one way or another.
Liza: Is that a threat?
Rae: Well, is there something
else going on?
Edmund: You know,
Alex and I -- we've been through
a lot together.
Rae: Yes, I know that.
Edmund: And
we weren't always friends --
which is, by the way, all that
we are.
Rae: All right.
Edmund: Ok.
You know, I used to think
she was kind of an ice princess,
sort of cold.
But she's not.
She's sort of fragile,
and she's
vulnerable.
It's made me feel protective.
Rae: So you just want
to help her?
Edmund: Yeah, that's --
my brother.
He asked that we look out
for each other.
Rae: So you're trying
to honor your brother's wish.
Edmund: We're friends.
Ok?
Rae: Edmund, I'm sorry.
I'm making you feel
defensive.
You don't have to be.
You can certainly have any
feelings for Alex that you want.
I just think you need to keep
sort of an emotional distance
right now.
If we want her to open up,
we need to give her time
and space.
That's all.
David: I had nothing to do
with Erica's actions.
Alex: Oh, really?
You didn't make the suggestion
to her?
David: I didn't condone them.
I didn't encourage them.
In fact, I even asked
her to stay out of our
situation.
Alex: Good.
David: She promised she would
back off.
Alex: Like she promised she'd
stay out of it in the beginning?
David: It's over.
All right?
We have no intention of using
your past against you.
I won't ask you about
your mental state, why
you pushed me down a flight
of stairs, Geoffrey, any of it.
As far as I'm concerned,
it's your business.
You keep your distance
and I will keep mine.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go
check in on Karen, make sure
she isn't released to a hostile
environment.
Tina: Do you see anything
you like?
Man: Oh, yeah.
Tina: On the menu.
Man: Yeah.
I'm not hungry for food,
so for now, why don't you just
give me a boilermaker.
Second man: Yeah.
Make it two.
Three if you'll join us.
Tina: No can do.
Man: No?
Then what can you do?
Tina: You know, I can
dropkick you to Timbuktu
if you do that again, jerk!
Man: Spunky little thing.
Second man: Ah, shut up.
I could teach her a thing
or two.
But she ain't worth it. Besides, I kind of like this
joint.
Adrian: Hey, hey, hey.
I thought your klutz days were
over.
Tina: I'm sorry.
Can you just get me two
boilermakers, please?
Adrian: Yeah.
Coming right up.
Tina: You know what?
Would you mind bringing it over
to table five for me?
Adrian: Those guys giving
you a hard time?
Tina: Nothing I can't handle,
but you might not like the way
I handle it.
I just might trip and dump these
drinks in their hot little laps.
Adrian: Well, let them
complain to management.
Man: Greenlee.
How it's going?
Greenlee: Do I know you?
Man: Yeah, sure.
Greenlee: How?
Man: I guess you forgot.
Your grandparents' pool --
I took care of it this summer.
Greenlee: Oh.
Oh, that's right.
Kenny -- the pool boy.
Man: Just Ken.
Greenlee: Sorry.
Nice to see you again.
Man: You want to join us?
Leo: Thanks, but no.
We'll get our own table.
Shall we?
Greenlee: See you next
summer.
Adrian: Now, you boys don't
forget to tip the lady, huh?
Mateo: Go ahead.
Hayley: No, you go.
Mateo: No, go on.
Hayley: Oh.
Do you hear us?
Mateo: I know.
We're both like waiting -- we're
stuttering, not wanting to make
mistakes, say the wrong thing.
Hayley: Listen, listen.
Why don't we stop worrying about
making mistakes with each other,
at least not the small ones?
Mateo: Deal.
Adrian: Hey, you two
lovebirds.
I don't mean to break this up,
but why don't we bring this out
from hiding, huh?
Hayley: Oh --
Mateo: Oh.
Hayley: No.
I'm not a partner here anymore.
Adrian: Oh, well, you want
to rethink that?
Hayley: Hmm -- no.
Mateo: No. No.
Hayley: I'm happy with my new
job, and you two make a great
team.
Mateo: Yeah.
You're not thinking about
bailing out on me, are you?
Adrian: Oh, yeah,
right, and let you stay here
and play the fix-it man?
I don't think so.
But I see no reason why we can't
put this up in its rightful
place.
You know what?
I think I know the perfect spot.
Hayley: No, no, no.
I know the perfect spot.
Mateo: Back where it belongs.
Adam: Liza, you know me
better than anyone else alive.
And you know there's no way
on earth that I would accept
your terms, not without
a shotgun to my head.
So go ahead, put me in prison.
But I will never give up
my rights to my daughter.
Liza: Well, maybe I was being
a little harsh.
I don't want to drag this out.
Adam: I will fight
you with everything I've got.
Liza: I'll let you see
her once a month, under
my supervision and not in this
house.
Adam: That's a start.
Liza: It's not a start.
The floor is not open
for negotiations, Adam Chandler.
It is my final offer.
And if this isn't signed,
on Jackson's desk in 24 hours,
I will gleefully go
to the police and watch them
haul your butt off to jail!
Adam: Liza, wait.
Liza: No, I'm not --
Adam: Wait!
Liza: I am not waiting!
If you want to talk to me,
you can talk to me through
my lawyers.
Adam: No.
I'm not going to talk
to your lawyer!
This is between you and me!
It affects you and me and Colby,
all of us!
Adam: Liza, I'm not just
thinking of myself here.
This involves you and Colby.
She's not old enough to know
what's happening, not yet.
But what happens when she gets
older, when she finds out
the truth?
And she will.
When she finds out that
her mother willingly kept
her father from her?
Liza: She will have
a wonderful, loving,
gentle father.
Adam: Who's an imposter,
who is not her father.
Too many people know that
to keep it a secret forever.
Liza: No, not forever.
Just until she's old enough
to understand.
Adam: Oh, really?
When would that be?
What is the proper age
for turning a child's life
upside down?
Liza: How dare you.
You did this.
Ever since the beginning when
I found out that you switched
the samples, I've been thinking,
"how do I tell this little
girl?"
All I ever wanted for her was
love and security.
And I knew that one day I was
going to have to turn her whole
world upside down and give
her nothing but pain
and confusion.
That kills me.
I am not doing this to get back
at you.
I am doing this to protect her.
And she may hate me for it one
day, or she may thank me
because once she gets to know
who you really are, she may
thank me for keeping her --
Adam: Stop it!
Liza: Out of your clutches.
Adam: You make me sound like
some kind of an evil,
cold monster.
I -- I can't bear that.
Liza: No, neither can I.
I took pride in watching
you transform, thinking that it
was my love for you that did it
or your love for me.
Or you could conquer these
demons for me.
Adam: I did. I tried.
Liza: Were you just not
strong enough?
Adam, the ironic thing is that
all the while I was hoping
you would change, I was
the one who changed.
I became sad and weak
and stupid.
And I became weepy when I should
have been tough, and that's it.
It's over.
I'm going to find myself and I'm
going to find happiness for me
and my daughter.
Adam: Liza, please --
Liza.
Liza, I want you to be happy.
I want you to have happiness,
you and Colby.
Don't you believe that?
Please.
Before you go, before you walk
out of my life forever,
there's something I want
you to see,
something you have to
understand.
Becca: The Oscar goes to --
drum roll --
Scott Chandler for the best
audition tape in film school.
Ryan: An Oscar! Speech!
Man: Speech!
Ryan: Speech!
Scott: Well, uh -- I'm
overwhelmed.
And I haven't prepared anything,
of course.
But I'd like to thank
the acceptance committee --
fools, all of them, yes.
And my inspiration --
Becca.
Thank you.
And the people at WRCW
and junket donuts because I like
them.
I really, really like them.
Ryan: Someone get the hook.
This is boring.
Becca: Cue the music.
Get this guy off the stage.
Come here.
Mallory: So, it must be
exciting working at WRCW.
Ryan: Yeah, sometimes.
Sometimes.
Mallory: Becca didn't mention
if you were seeing anybody
or not.
Are you?
Ryan: No, not really.
But I'm not really
looking for a relationship
right now.
Mallory: That's too bad.
Ryan: Yeah.
It was nice meeting you,
Mallory.
Leo: So, we're here.
But I get the feeling that
your mind is still at the loft.
Why don't you just admit that
you got a thing for Ryan
you know, maybe I can help.
Greenlee: You can help me
with Ryan?
Ok.
So what should I do?
Leo: Well, first tell me why.
I mean, why Ryan?
What is it about him?
Greenlee: He told me it was
ok for me to be me.
It sounds pretty lame, right?
But he meant it.
I was enough, just me.
And things were really good
for a while, you know?
He liked me and he even
understood me.
Leo: But he dumped you.
Greenlee: Yeah.
I got too close, I think.
You know, Ryan has to take
his own advice.
You see, I understand him, too.
He's scared to let anyone
inside, but I know that
if he let me, I can make him
happy.
Tina: Hi.
Can I get you guys something
to drink, or would you like
to see some menus?
Leo: Nothing for her.
I'll take a margarita,
menus, and some nachos, please.
Tina: Sure.
Greenlee: You know,
don't you start.
I'm not like my illustrious boss
lady.
I can handle my alcohol.
Well, now --
Hayley's doing a good job
of handling something else.
Leo: Hayley's an alcoholic?
Greenlee: A.A.
Tina: Here you go.
Greenlee: Hey, are Hayley
and Mateo back together?
Tina: Yeah.
Ever since he rescued
her from that fire.
You know, maybe I should turn
helpless and play damsel
in distress.
It really worked for her.
Here.
Leo: You know, it's funny.
Her eyes don't look green.
Greenlee?
Hey.
Greenlee: Hayley's victim
thing worked with Ryan, too.
That's it.
Leo: Where are you going
with this?
Greenlee: I have to figure
out a way for Ryan to come
to my rescue somehow.
And I think I've got it.
Leo: The pool jockey?
You got to be kidding me.
What can he do?
Greenlee: Watch me lay
the groundwork.
Kenny.
Ken: Ahem.
Greenlee: I didn't recognize
you, you know, with a shirt
and without your tan.
Um -- could I buy you a drink?
What are you guys drinking?
Ken: Uh -- Ken.
And you don't have to buy me
a drink.
Greenlee: Well, maybe another
time, then?
I could call you.
You give me your number?
Ken: Here's my card.
My beeper number's on it.
Greenlee: Your beeper number.
Cute.
I'll beep you, then.
Man: Way to go, man.
You scored.
Ken: Not yet.
But I will.
And I can't wait to wipe that
stuck-up smirk right off
her face.
Greenlee: See?
Worked like a charm.
Leo: Yeah.
Very nice.
You just charged up
young Frankenstein.
Greenlee: Well, it could be
worse.
It could be you.
Leo: Oh, very funny.
Hayley: Mmm, this is heaven.
Mateo: Yeah.
You know what?
We should take thing just like
this dance -- nice and slow.
Hayley: Hmm.
Mateo: No pressure.
Hayley: Ok.
Mateo: But with lots
of style.
Geoffrey: Shh.
You didn't hear anything.
You didn't see anything.
Alex: Oh --
Edmund: Alex.
Adam: You want to send me
to prison?
Have a look around, Liza.
I've already had a taste of it.
This is where I've been confined
for the last few weeks.
You want me to suffer?
I've suffered.
Watching you and Colby
on the monitor, not being able
to talk to you or touch you.
Liza: You won't have monitors
in jail.
You might want to talk
to the warden beforehand.
Adam: Damn it, haven't I been
punished enough?
What would it take to make
you hear me out, to really
listen to what I'm saying?
Why won't you at least try
to understand why I've done what
I've done?
Liza: Because I don't care
how you feel anymore.
Adam: I don't believe you!
I know you better than that.
You still care about me.
And you could understand
if you'd just let yourself.
Liza: Is that you brought me
here for is to wring tears
of empathy out of me?
Let me go. I'm leaving.
Adam: Come on, lay it on me.
Just -- just --
Liza: No!
Adam: Give it to me.
Liza: I am not!
Adam: Get it out
of your system!
Liza: I'm going to stay angry
with you for the rest
of my life.
Adam: Don't walk out on me,
Liza.
Liza: Get away from me!
I am leaving!
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Let go of me!
Adam: Liza --
Liza: Let go of me, Adam!
Adam: No --
Liza: What are you doing?
What are you --
stop it!
What have you done?
What have you done?
Adam: Oh.
You gave me no choice.
I can't let you walk out on me.
Liza: Help!
Let me out of here!
Adam: No one will hear you.
Believe me, I know.
Liza: Let me out
of here, now!
Adam: No, I can't.
The remote's outside.
We're stuck.
Liza: No.
No!
Adam: Yeah.
I had to make you listen!
I have to make you understand
and feel what you can't help
feeling when we're alone
together.
Liza: I am not going
to listen to you.
And the only thing I'm going
to feel is hatred for the man
I know you really are.
