Big Shots (2007) s01e08 Episode Script
The way we weren't
Previously on "big shots" she hates me.
Anshe's in love with you.
Do you have any idea how hard it is for me to find a guy I like as much as like being with you? We've got something in common.
Duncan's my dad,too.
I got a call from the lab this morning -- he is my son.
Where are you hurrying off to? I-I forgot I was supposed to show a house.
Hey,look,duncan.
You're on tv.
Duncan collinsworth was the most notable client in the pre-op transvestite's black book.
They fired me.
Effective immediately.
Hey,nice moves! They say boxing's great cardio.
Oh,boxing,huh? I thought you were "sweating to the oldies.
" Give me a break.
I'm getting pretty good.
Any word from duncan yet? I don't mind telling you,I'm getting a little worried.
Yeah,it's been a couple days since he was canned.
Maybe we should send out a search party.
Yeah,or drag the bottom of a scotch bottle.
You guys talking about duncan? I'm getting kind of worried about him.
He's not returning my phone calls.
What are the odds he's at a bible retreat? Not good.
I mean,unless it was a major rewrite.
What's wrong with you? I think I know that guy getting the tour.
Who is he? Eddie jenowski.
I went to high school with him.
Yeah,I met him.
Prospective member.
Nice guy.
"Nice guy"? You must be kidding.
He was the biggest bully at scarsdale high.
Tortured me for four years.
Made my life a living hell.
That was 20 years ago,rl.
I'm telling you,I talked to him for a while.
He's a decent guy.
He stole my locker.
Come on.
I can't believe anybody bullying you,karl.
I mean,president -- audio/video club.
Chess club,debate team.
I'm surprised you weren't on the math team.
It conflicted with band.
So,changing the subject to me for a moment, guess what I found in janelle's closet? What? Evidence of the man you used to be? Worse.
Lovletters from a guy she used to know in college.
All girls keep their love letters.
Yeah,but these were full of poetry, and she didn't even tell me about 'em.
- So? - "So"? I mean,this is not a woman who keeps secrets.
I know everything about her.
To the millimeter,how far her gums have receded.
If she has a blackhead,she calls me.
You're a lucky man.
So,what,you think she still has a thing for the guy? No.
Janelle is totally dedicated to me.
So,what's the problem? I don't know what the problem is.
That's the problem.
Hey,guys.
Sorry I'm late.
You okay,buy? Never better.
All right,what's her name? It's not aer.
It's a him.
We should probably sit down for this,right? I'm talking about gavin carter.
Airlines,record stores,hot-air-balloon gavin carter? Word's out he might consider unloading a bunch of reveal stock that he's been holding onto.
I've been trying to make the deal come together.
Think he's open for an offer? I've been known to be persuasivE.
Plus,lisbeth's been holding on to the reveal shares she got in our divorce settlement.
Promised to sell them back to me,so and here I thought we'd be scraping you off the floor of some bar by now.
I close this deal,you will be.
So,what did I miss? Uh,let's see.
Stacey and I are getting along.
Almost have the settlement worked out.
Alex and I broke uP.
I kissed katie.
And my mom needs cataract surgery.
Slow down,james.
Back up.
You kissed katie? Yeah,it just happened.
It was an impulse.
Like my second marriage.
So now what? Nothing.
Just go back to being friends.
The level of denial.
As a man,I admire that.
Thank you.
Besides,she's got a boyfriend.
You don't think it's gonna be weird between you? "Weird"? No.
Like I said,she's seeing oliver.
Why would it be weird? This is weird,right? Yeah.
Do you know why it's weird? Because we haven't talked about it.
That's what makes it weird.
Okay.
Let's talk.
Okay.
You first.
Well,I,uh -- I kissed you.
Obviously.
But here's the thing.
It was a moment.
A blip.
We lost our heads,and now we can move forward.
- Exactly.
- Right.
So it shouldn't be weird.
It doesn't have to be weird.
Unless you keep saying the word "weird.
" Right.
And -- and you're with oliver,so oh,um,actually I broke up with oliver.
But it had nothing to do with the kiss,so,again,not weird.
Right.
So,uh,so,what happened? Oh,you know,beg with a married man isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Really? What about you? How's it going with alex? Oh,we -- we broke up,too.
Well,I am starving.
Uh,what do you say we grab some lunch? Lunch.
Great.
I love lunch.
And that's not weird.
Right? Lunch is not weird.
- See you next week.
- Bye.
Duncan.
How'd my backhand look? Almost as good as your front.
Thanks,I think.
Did you get my messages? My stock is yours if you want it.
Yeah.
Thanks,lizzy.
I really appreciate it.
Of course.
Whatever you need.
You know that.
How about a quickie in the pro shop? I was worried about you,but it's nice to see you're the same old duncan.
And I was worried about you.
Me? Why were you worried about me? I may be unemployed,but you're the one who's engaged to the prince of darkness.
- So? - So? It's supposed to rain this weekend.
- Is it? - Yeah.
Big storm from canada.
Well,so much for free trade.
Tight-assed ex-girlfriend at 6:00.
Hi,james.
Katie.
Hi,alex.
How are you? Fine.
Busy.
Interviewing the secretary of the treasury tomorrow.
I'll call to warn him.
So,how are you? Uh,fine.
We're fine.
Just having lunch.
The ex-wife.
Excuse me.
I should take this.
So,I see the covenant's finally been broken.
Excuse me? You and james.
Come on,katie,I could see it across the room.
What happened to all the witty banter and the flirting? If I had to guess,I would say something happened to shut you guys up.
Wow,and I thought your ignorance was just limited to the financial.
Some advice -- woman to woman? - It's lose/lose for you.
- Meaning? Meaning even if he has feelings for you, which he does,it's all a diversion for him.
From what,exactly? From the reality that he isn't over his marriage.
Look how quickly he jumps when the ex calls.
It's rebound time,katie.
This guy is nowhere near ready.
Enjoy your lunch.
I was up until a moment ago.
Stacey wants to see me.
Says it's important.
Alex leave? There was an opening at the local charm school.
She didn't want to be late.
Glad to see you're getting some exercise.
Oh,yeah? Why's that? Well,relieves the stress of being unemployed.
I know it was you.
Sorry? I know you told the press about what happened at threst stop.
Well,on the off chance that you could prove it, what are you gonna do about it? I haven't decided yet.
But whatever it is,it's gonna suck.
For you.
Thanks for coming.
No problem.
What's going on? Well,I have news.
Okay.
A lot of news,actually.
I'm pregnant.
It's nick's,obviously.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
It wasn't -- you know,I mean,we didn't plan it.
Yeah,yeah,you can spare the whole part about the failed birth control.
Right.
Uh,so,now that we are,we're,um, we'rehinking aboutetting married.
"Married.
" Well,you know,when you find something you're really good at -- no,thank you.
Nick has been offered a job in california.
He's seriously considering it,so we're gonna move.
And I would like -- of course,I would want to take the kids with me.
Just -- just slow down.
Back it up.
You're acting like this is a done deal.
Oh,no,no,no.
No.
T-that's not what I meant.
You know,it's just that things are happening really fast,and -- and this opportunity came along for nick.
I don't care.
I don't care.
If you knew how little I care about nick and his opportunities.
I know it's a loT.
Let me make this very clear to you,stacey.
You're taking sam and dash,our kids -- my kids -- to california over my dead body.
proudly presents Big Shots Season01 Episode09 What a joke.
Thought we had this whole custody thing figured out,but now looks like you may need to go to court.
I'll get you a number just in case.
I know a great lawyer.
Yours? No,lisbeth'S.
Took me for every penny I had.
Y,I thought you were taking off to see carter today.
I am.
I'm gonna pack right now.
Gonna be okay? Yeah,I'll be fine.
Hey,good luck.
Watch out for this guy.
I heard he's nuts.
He may be nuts,but he's my only chance at getting reveal back.
So,james,this should cheer you up.
I figured out why janelle kept those letters.
Why? Think about it.
My wife's the kind of woman that's not afraid to ask for anything,right? She kept those poems because it's the one thing she doesn't think I'm capable of.
You know,being artistic and creative and romantic.
Well,clearly,she's right.
Wrong! You are wrong! And I will prove it to you and her.
Yeah,I'm gonna write her a love poem so good it'll knock those little manolo blahniks right off her feet.
Good for you.
Who are you looking for? Remember that guy I told you about? Eddie jenowski? The guy who bullied me? He called me up,asked me to have dinner with him.
So,are you,uh - Still afraid of him? - No.
And by no,I mean yes.
Come on,you're not a pimply faced nerd anymore,karl.
Yeah,now you're the pimply faced C.
E.
O.
Of a major corporation.
You know what? You're right.
I'm a success.
A huge,amazing success.
Okay,don't go overboard.
At least I'm more of a success than eddie jenowski,right? I mean,what's he got? A few steakhouses.
Red meat,for god's sake.
Karl,he actually helps you keep the country on lipitor.
If you think about it,buddy,he actually works for you.
Karl? Karl mixworthy? Eddie jenowski? Ready for dinner? Sure.
That's a big guy.
Hope he doesn't eat him.
So,you're spending the weekend wi gavin carter?" You know they call him "carter the cat.
He's been given up for dead like 10 times.
He's some kind of extreme-sports enthusiast,right? And the poster child for chemical imbalances.
All I need to do is woo him with my daredevil prowess, he sells me his reveal stock,and I take back control of the company.
It's a genius plan.
It was nice not knowing you,duncan.
What? You don't think I can hang with this guy? Barhopping is not an extreme sport.
Proves how little you know your own father.
I'm an adventure-seeker.
Yes,but the adventures you seek require antibiotics.
Look,I want you to both know how much I appreciate you quitting after the board fired me.
Welcome to the family.
The drama never ends.
Yeah,but if this trip goes well,we'll all be back at reveal soon enough.
And,uh,keep an eye on things for me here.
I want this place in one piece when I get back.
That was pretty cool of him to let us stay here.
Pretty cool of him to let us have a party.
Oh,see,the second I saw you,I knew we shared the same blood.
I've got to tell you,eddie,it's been very nice seeing you again.
Yeah,it has.
Hey,I really appreciate you taking the time,karl,considering well,you know,thway things used to be between us.
You remember that.
Yeah,well I was a pretty rotten kid back in those days.
I got to tell you,karl,the way I treated you was Well,let's just say those weren't my proudest moments.
It's all in the past,eddie.
We're both adults now.
Happy,successful.
Well,I'm glad you feel that way,'cause,uh I need a letter of recommendation from a current member to help get me into firmwood.
Really yeah.
Look I was hoping that once you saw what a different guy I was,that,uh well,maybe you'd help me out.
I'm really sorry,eddie.
I'm afraid I can'T.
We're limited to two letters of recommendation per year.
I've already filled my quota.
Well,you're a popular guy,karl.
I should have known.
Thanks.
Duncan! Gavin.
Great to see you,man! Great to see you,too.
All of you.
I hardly ever wear clothes up here.
Something about the air.
It just gets me all Pumped up.
Yeah.
I can see that.
Come on.
Let's get you settled in.
I-I was hoping we could talk a little business first.
Business? You just got here.
I was just about to jump in the river,take a swim.
"A swim"? It's like 35 degrees out.
I mean,the water's probably freezing.
It's great.
Nothing like the cold to get the blood flowing,huh? Unless,of course,you can't handle it.
"Handle it"? Are you kidding me? I love the cold.
I'm,like,half polar bear.
By any chance,did you happen to bring a crossbow with you? "Crossbow"? No.
I mean,I-I-I was going to,but mine's in the shop.
No worries.
I'll lend you one.
GreaT.
See that? I told you he was a nice guy.
You were right.
He's nice.
He's really nice.
I guess people can change.
What are you writing? That poem for janelle.
This is a lot harder than I thought it was gonna be.
I was president of the poetry society in high school.
Really? And yet eddie still wanted to beat you up? You know,in the end,I'm kind of glad I couldn't write him that letter of recommendation.
Really? Why? Who wants to be reminded of their agonizing youth every single day? karl? Look,here's the thing.
He asked me,and,well,I -- Brody johns! Just want to shake the hand of the man that got me into firmwood.
You got him in? One word from brody,they threw open the gates.
How'd you get the letter in so fast? E-mail.
Well,they just made it official,so,uh thanks again,buddy.
I -- karl,I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
But you said he was a changed man,and he practically begged me.
I-I didn't know you felt this way.
Look,I'm sorry,all right? Look,would you just go rack the balls? I'll get us a couple beers,all right? Congratulations,eddie.
I'm glad it worked out.
Are you? Yes,of course.
So,uh eddie,I was waiting for the table.
Were you? Yeah,I'm next,actually.
You were next,mixworthy.
And now you're next again.
After me.
Matter of fact,since you're not doing anything, why don't you wander over to the bar there and get me a beer? Oh,unless you want to be the 8 ball.
I just want to do what's right for the kids.
I assume homicide wouldn't qualify.
No,not in most states.
The thing is,I feel that consistency is the most important thing.
I mean,tell me if I'm wrong.
You're not wrong.
In divorce,consistency is very important.
Unfortunately,their mother's departure would hindethat, regardless of what you do.
So,no matter how you slice it,the kids lose.
In these cases.
Given the circumstances,the age of the children,et cetera, more often than not,the judge leans towards the mother.
I just -- it just doesn't make sense.
I am just as involved in my kids' lives as she is.
I know you are.
But that's the reality.
It would be a long,painful,uphill battle.
One you'd more than likely lose.
Big boxer now,mixworthy? Hey,you could have used those gloves back in the day,huh? Is that how you box? My 92-year-old grandmother could kick your ass from her walker.
Why don't you just go work out,eddie? Uh,no.
No,I think I'd rather watch you.
Hey,who taught you how to box? Hilary swank? Look,eddie,I realize this used to be a lot of fun for you, but we're not in school anymore.
If you have a problem with me,you should just tell me.
We'll talk it over.
"Talk it over"? What are you? My therapist? LookI would just rather handle our difficulties as mature adults.
Well,that wouldn't be as much fun.
For me,anyway.
Okay,eddie.
I see where this is going.
Let's just stay out of each other's way.
Seriously.
Go work ouT.
Or what,karl? What are you gonna do about it? You know what,eddie? You're right.
Maybe we shod settle this your way.
Yeah? How are we gonna do that? You and me in the ring.
Fair fight.
"You and me"? Okay.
Yeah,sure.
There's a great idea.
I mean it,eddie.
Oh,come on.
You don't want to fight me,mixworthy.
Actually,I think I do.
Okay.
All right.
You know what? You asked for it.
You and me.
Right here.
Friday.
10:00 A.
M.
Oh,my god.
I'm gonna die.
All right,so I will handle thievery and vandalism.
You are on puke patrol and alcohol-related fisticuffs.
Got it.
Hey,uh,any word from duncan? No.
Probably too busy spelunking.
Why? Oh,just,you know,wondering how it's going.
Zack.
Zack! Man,how you doing? Mike.
I-I didn't know you were in new york.
Yeah.
Yeah,for a while now.
Uh,how'd you hear about this shindig? Wendy is lisa's cousin's roommate.
She works with a guy in my office.
Sorry if I'm interrupting here.
Oh,you're not.
Trust me.
I'm his sister,cameron.
"Sister"? Sincwhen do you have a sister who looks like this? Uh,incoming.
Catch up with you later,bud.
Oh,is big brother protecting my virtue? Oh,god.
Puke patrol.
Get on that.
Okay,hold on.
I'm coming! Come here,you.
Brody,I did something really stupid.
I'm gonna fight eddie jenowski.
What? I tried to be reasonable with him.
But then I thought,if I don't stand up to this guy, I'll never get past this.
Bold move.
You nervous? I was.
I was really scared.
But you know what? You guys are right.
I've been boxing for a while -- uh,boxercising.
It's not quite the same thing.
Not to mention,I'm a grown man.
You're 5'4",actually.
That's not fully grown.
Best of all,I have you to help me.
You were golden gloves,right? So,we'll do a little training.
Sure,karl.
All righT.
Boxing is all abt strategy,all right? It's all up here.
You just got to use your head.
Okey And we're gonna get you a helmet.
Better.
I can't lieve you're zack's sister.
You and me both.
How do you two know each other again? We went to college together.
I guess if I had a sister who looked like you, I'd keep her away from my frat brothers,too.
Thanks.
Do all of your compliments sound so creepy? It's too bad,really.
We could have had a hell of a time out in L.
A.
L.
A.
,Like,as in "los angeles"? Yeah.
Convenient place to put ucla.
Zack went to princeton.
Zack went to ucla with me.
You two really ought to get your stories straight.
But I think we should take a stand and see where it gets us.
Or I could take the meeting naked and distract them.
You're not listening to me,are you? No,I am.
Pasties and a g-string would be much more effective.
Keep the mystery alive.
Uh,it's fine.
Wean do this later.
Katie,I'm sorry.
No,let's -- let's do it now.
I just can't seem to foc on anything else but the kids right now.
I'm not surprised.
Is there anything I can do? No,not really.
Unless you want to weigh in on whether or not to have a nasty court battle with a soon-to-be-ex.
Acey's not willing to compromise? I-I don't know what stacey's willing to do.
I n barely even look at her anymore.
Do I follow the kids out there? Do I try and fly back and forth? Every bone in my body is telling me to fht, but to drag this thing through court If I didn't think she was legally insane, I'swear this was a joke.
How could I have been married to her for so long and not see how self-absorbed she is? What? You know,you might not want to hear this.
But the reason you don't know what to do right now is because you're still so angry at stacey.
And this isn't about you.
This isn't about stacey or her cheatg on you or any of it.
I know that.
Well,then act like it.
I can't tellou what's right or wrong,but what I do know is that your children are the most important thing in the world to you.
So you need to ask yourself what's best for them.
Are you yelling at me? Yes,I am.
And I'll tell you something else.
You deserve it.
Hey,how's it going? We've been doing everything but talking business.
We've been off-roading,slack-lining,ice climbing.
I don't know if I'm here to make a deal or train for the x-games.
I got to get this guy to focus.
Otherwise,I have no chance at reveal.
What's going on there? Well,james' lawyer told him that stacey's getting the kids, karl challenged eddie jenowski to a fight, and I've been writing poetry in my spare time.
All in one day? I got to quit leaving town.
Did you say you were writing poetry? Yeah.
I need a word that rhymes with "overbearing.
" I gotta go.
Gavin! Morning! Morning,duncan.
Beautiful day.
What do yosay? Ready to talk a little business? Definitely.
But let's do it out in the fresh air.
"The fresh air"? Oh,no.
When you said "fresh air," I thought you meant the patio! It's pretty tough to talk business up here! Exactly! First we jump! Then we talk! I got to be honest,carte I never jumped out of an airplane before! Don't worry! There's a man on the ground to help you with the landing! Does he happen to have an ambulance down there? I like you,duncan a hell of a lot more than those sons of bitches on the board! Does that mean you're gonna sell me your stock? I'll tell you what -- you jump out of this plane with me,you got yourself a deal! Deal! So,what's the latest with zack? Something's just not right about him.
Well,that makes perfect sense.
Look who his father is.
Well,that's the thing.
I -- I can't shake this feeling.
What? That duncan isn't his father.
Uh,cake for my wedding.
There's tahitian vanilla and lemon chiffon.
We have to choose.
I thought they did a paternity test.
They did.
I-I know it doesn't make any sense, but there's all these weird inconsistencies in his stories.
Look,cam.
Zack hasn't had it easy.
I mean,he came from a completely different background.
I mean,it must be a heady thing for a kid like that to find out that duncan is your father.
Yeah,I've known all my life.
I'm still not over it.
Exactly.
But here's a radical idea.
Why don't you just ask him? What? Be ufront and straightforward? I'm not sure that's in my dna.
You forget,I'm duncan's kid,too.
I did it! Yes! I did it! What a rush! Nothing like it.
How long till carter gets down? We got a deal to close! Well,he should be diving just about there he goes.
- He does this a lot,huh? - Yeah.
He's the most experienced diver I've ever worked with.
Shouldn't that chute be opening? Nah,he likes to wait it out.
It's gonna open,right? Right? Wait! There's something wrong.
Carter! Oh,my deal.
Zack,you -- you scared me.
Well,I'm incredibly imposing.
Uh,wherd you disappear to last night? I got lucky.
Didn't you see me leave with the cute redhead with the tramp stamp? No,I didn'T.
Anyway,um,I should go.
I-I have an appointment.
Sorry for leaving you one last night.
I hope mike didn't t on you relentlessly.
He told me you went to ucla.
I did,yeah.
Uh,senior year at princeton,I,um,had a little trouble getting to class on time.
Or at all.
So,uh so,the dean and i made a deal.
If I completed my credits elsewhere,I'd still get a princeton diploma.
Hence,ucla.
Hello.
Uh,nope.
No one here by that name.
Sorry.
Wrong number.
Unless my name's felix.
Which I'm sure mike told you it was.
I really got to go.
As most of the financials have been agreed upon, I'd ke to address the proposed change in custody.
Now,given mrs.
Walker's intended relocation -- there's no need to discuss a change.
If your intention is to bypass negotiations entirely and go directly to court -- that is not our intention.
The custody arrangement previously agreed on in mediation can remain intact given the fact thatmr.
Walker has requested a transfer to california.
Since this move -- w-wait a minute.
You're resigning? The particulars will be in mr.
Walker's financial disclosure.
I'm not asking about the financiadisclosure.
James,if you walk away from that job,your career at amerimart is over.
And what? Only women can choose their kids over their careers? I worked my way to the top once before,stacey.
I'll do it again if I have to.
Diagnostic Hedical Testing What made you decide? The kids.
I mean,a job's a job,but I think about my priorities,they're right there in front of me.
I have no choice.
I've got to follow my kids and be their dad.
Yeah.
California's not so bad.
Great women,great beaches.
Great golf.
Yeah,we'll fly out.
You'll come here.
How you holding up? I have no luck.
That's my problem.
Uh,no,carter has no luck.
So,would you guys think a lot less of me if I don't show up for my fight tomorrow? Oh,come on,karl.
You can stand up to this guy.
Yeah,at least for a couple of seconds.
That's what I'm afraid of.
Oh,look.
The happy couple.
If that guy steps one foot in my direction come on,let's get out of here.
Ah,too late.
Are you okay? Cameron to me about the accident.
Yeah,I'm fine.
I'm not the one whose chute didn't open.
Good luck just seems to follow you wherever you go,duncan.
Helped along by you,right,terrence? Get some rest.
Terrence.
I forgot to tell you something.
Yeah,what's that? You okay? You all right? DuncaN.
Duncan.
Wait a second! What the hell was that? You cannot go around punching people in the face.
Especially people I'm abouto marry.
He's not who you think he is,lizzy.
What does that mean? He ruined my life.
No,you ruined your life,duncan,with your own bad behavior.
You know what? You're right.
I did.
But that was my mistake.
People do a lot of screwed-up things.
They don't end up on the 11:00 news.
What are you saying? Did terrence go public with that story? Don't marry him,lizzy.
Don't do it.
Don't do it.
They said that I could wait for you in here.
We need to talk.
Yeah,I don't think that's such a good idea.
James,I have something that I want to say.
I really don't want to do it through a lawyer.
You know,the,uh The fact that you were willing to give up everying that you've ever worked for look,I know that we we may not be a family anymore,but what you were willing to do to make our kids' lives work I can't take that away from them.
What are you saying? I'm not going to california.
I'll stay here and raise the baby,and nick will fly back and forth.
How's nick taking that? Apparently he's not as interested in his kid as you are in yours.
That's it.
James I always thought your career was the most important thing in the world to you.
You were wrong.
So,he was telling the truth.
You exposed him to the press.
Lisbeth -- you know,I think we should put our wedding plans on hold.
Look,lisbeth,I'm not proud of what I've done.
I had a moment of insecurity.
I let jealousy cloud my judgment.
Can you forgive me? The way you've forgiven duncan all his transgressions? Duncan never hurts anyone intentionally.
Lisbeth,let me make this right.
How? I mean,duncan's lost everything he's ever worked for.
He's been plicly humiliated.
How are you gonna make that right? Okay,this isn't public knowledge, but I've been buying up reveal stock for years.
In small increments.
Together,with the shares you have,we could get duncan his job back.
And he never needs to know.
You would do that? Of course I would.
If I knew it meant you would marry me.
I love you,lisbeth.
And I believe you love me,too.
I made a mistake.
Let me help him.
Do we have a deal? All right,remember,karl -- jab,jab,power,jab.
Jab,jab,power,jab! All right,and if he gets too close,hands up,duck.
Duck.
Hey,why isn't he warming up? Because that would indicate that he actually sees you as an adversary.
But with a lot of hair on his back,he doesn't need to warm up,anyway.
So,who do you think is gonna win? "Win"? I'm hoping karl survives.
Let's go! Come on,karl! Keep your hands up! Stay in it.
Stay in it.
Come on,karl.
Yes! There you go! All right,come on! Hey,I thought I told you to duck.
Yeah,you also told me to buy triflecta global at 90.
Why should I start trusting you now? Come on,karl! You can do this! Come on,karl.
Hey,you need to set this guy straight.
all that crap he did to you in the past? If you don't,he's gonna spend the next 20 years doing it to you all over again.
Do you remember high school,karl? Oh,come on.
Four years of sleepless nights and wedgies and swirlies and purple nurples.
- Is that what you want? - No! No? All right! So you need to stand up for yourself,karl! Put an end to this! Do it now! Come on! All right,all right.
This is done.
Back off,eddie.
This is over.
- That's it.
- No,it's not.
No,no,no.
No,no.
I need an apology.
You drag me in this ring,you don't even let me break a sweat.
You know what? That's just rude,mixworthy.
- You want an apology? - Yeah.
I'm really sorry.
Remind me never to ask brody for an apology.
Hello? So,I just wanted to let you know I'm taking the hudson account off of valerie's hands.
Uh,katie,wait a second.
Uh,I just wanted to say thank you.
For what? For kicking my ass about stacey.
You were right.
As soon as I cooled off and thought about the kids, I knew what I had to do.
I'm glad everything worked out.
Thanks.
It's just,I mean,no one gets under my skin the way shdoes.
Well,as your ex-wife,that's her job.
Yeah,and she's very good at it.
It's not gonna always be that way -- how crazy she makes you.
It's just a matter of time.
Yeah.
The thing is,she may get to me, but,katie,you're the one who knows me.
And,you know,about what happened with us -- uh,james.
before you say anything else,um oliver and I,we're back together.
He left his wife.
"An angel's smile what you sell.
"You promise me heaven,yet put me through hell.
"Chains of love got a hold on me.
When passion's a prison,you can't break free.
" What is that? It sounds familiar.
Bon jovi.
What? You guys said I could steal.
I meant from shakespeare.
Janelle's from new jersey.
In new jersey,bon jovi is shakespeare.
Shot through the heart and you're to blame darling, you give love a bad name bad name Thank you,firmwood.
Thank you.
Rock on.
I got to admitit does describe your relationship perfectly.
She didn't mind that you stole it? "Mind"? She thought it was the most romantic thing I've ever done for her.
You're a lover and a fighter.
Hey,what can I say? You were inspiring.
It was so muchun watching you hit terrence,I couldn't resist.
Have I thanked you enough,buddy? Don't worry about it.
I'm not gonna write you a poem,though.
By the way,karl,eddie jenowski withdrew his membership.
At least you don't have to see him every day.
Actually,I wouldn't mind.
The truth is,I feel kind of sorry for him.
Why? Even though eddie kicked my ass, now that I think of it,he never had any friends.
After all these years,he had to ask me to write him a letter of recommendation? How sad is that? Almost as sad as a grown man plagiarizing bon jovi.
Oh,what say? You want to hear verse two? Ooh,saved by the bell.
Hello? Well,how did that happen? You're kidding.
I'm,uh I'm on my way.
You're not gonna believe this.
I got my job back.
The board reinstated me.
How? I have no idea.
Duncan,it's me.
I've been looking everywhere for you.
Call me when you get this.
I need to talk to you.
It's important.
PROBABILITY OF PATERNITY:0% Cam,open the door.
I need to talk to you.
Cam.
Open the door.
Cam.
Openthe door.
proudly presents
Anshe's in love with you.
Do you have any idea how hard it is for me to find a guy I like as much as like being with you? We've got something in common.
Duncan's my dad,too.
I got a call from the lab this morning -- he is my son.
Where are you hurrying off to? I-I forgot I was supposed to show a house.
Hey,look,duncan.
You're on tv.
Duncan collinsworth was the most notable client in the pre-op transvestite's black book.
They fired me.
Effective immediately.
Hey,nice moves! They say boxing's great cardio.
Oh,boxing,huh? I thought you were "sweating to the oldies.
" Give me a break.
I'm getting pretty good.
Any word from duncan yet? I don't mind telling you,I'm getting a little worried.
Yeah,it's been a couple days since he was canned.
Maybe we should send out a search party.
Yeah,or drag the bottom of a scotch bottle.
You guys talking about duncan? I'm getting kind of worried about him.
He's not returning my phone calls.
What are the odds he's at a bible retreat? Not good.
I mean,unless it was a major rewrite.
What's wrong with you? I think I know that guy getting the tour.
Who is he? Eddie jenowski.
I went to high school with him.
Yeah,I met him.
Prospective member.
Nice guy.
"Nice guy"? You must be kidding.
He was the biggest bully at scarsdale high.
Tortured me for four years.
Made my life a living hell.
That was 20 years ago,rl.
I'm telling you,I talked to him for a while.
He's a decent guy.
He stole my locker.
Come on.
I can't believe anybody bullying you,karl.
I mean,president -- audio/video club.
Chess club,debate team.
I'm surprised you weren't on the math team.
It conflicted with band.
So,changing the subject to me for a moment, guess what I found in janelle's closet? What? Evidence of the man you used to be? Worse.
Lovletters from a guy she used to know in college.
All girls keep their love letters.
Yeah,but these were full of poetry, and she didn't even tell me about 'em.
- So? - "So"? I mean,this is not a woman who keeps secrets.
I know everything about her.
To the millimeter,how far her gums have receded.
If she has a blackhead,she calls me.
You're a lucky man.
So,what,you think she still has a thing for the guy? No.
Janelle is totally dedicated to me.
So,what's the problem? I don't know what the problem is.
That's the problem.
Hey,guys.
Sorry I'm late.
You okay,buy? Never better.
All right,what's her name? It's not aer.
It's a him.
We should probably sit down for this,right? I'm talking about gavin carter.
Airlines,record stores,hot-air-balloon gavin carter? Word's out he might consider unloading a bunch of reveal stock that he's been holding onto.
I've been trying to make the deal come together.
Think he's open for an offer? I've been known to be persuasivE.
Plus,lisbeth's been holding on to the reveal shares she got in our divorce settlement.
Promised to sell them back to me,so and here I thought we'd be scraping you off the floor of some bar by now.
I close this deal,you will be.
So,what did I miss? Uh,let's see.
Stacey and I are getting along.
Almost have the settlement worked out.
Alex and I broke uP.
I kissed katie.
And my mom needs cataract surgery.
Slow down,james.
Back up.
You kissed katie? Yeah,it just happened.
It was an impulse.
Like my second marriage.
So now what? Nothing.
Just go back to being friends.
The level of denial.
As a man,I admire that.
Thank you.
Besides,she's got a boyfriend.
You don't think it's gonna be weird between you? "Weird"? No.
Like I said,she's seeing oliver.
Why would it be weird? This is weird,right? Yeah.
Do you know why it's weird? Because we haven't talked about it.
That's what makes it weird.
Okay.
Let's talk.
Okay.
You first.
Well,I,uh -- I kissed you.
Obviously.
But here's the thing.
It was a moment.
A blip.
We lost our heads,and now we can move forward.
- Exactly.
- Right.
So it shouldn't be weird.
It doesn't have to be weird.
Unless you keep saying the word "weird.
" Right.
And -- and you're with oliver,so oh,um,actually I broke up with oliver.
But it had nothing to do with the kiss,so,again,not weird.
Right.
So,uh,so,what happened? Oh,you know,beg with a married man isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Really? What about you? How's it going with alex? Oh,we -- we broke up,too.
Well,I am starving.
Uh,what do you say we grab some lunch? Lunch.
Great.
I love lunch.
And that's not weird.
Right? Lunch is not weird.
- See you next week.
- Bye.
Duncan.
How'd my backhand look? Almost as good as your front.
Thanks,I think.
Did you get my messages? My stock is yours if you want it.
Yeah.
Thanks,lizzy.
I really appreciate it.
Of course.
Whatever you need.
You know that.
How about a quickie in the pro shop? I was worried about you,but it's nice to see you're the same old duncan.
And I was worried about you.
Me? Why were you worried about me? I may be unemployed,but you're the one who's engaged to the prince of darkness.
- So? - So? It's supposed to rain this weekend.
- Is it? - Yeah.
Big storm from canada.
Well,so much for free trade.
Tight-assed ex-girlfriend at 6:00.
Hi,james.
Katie.
Hi,alex.
How are you? Fine.
Busy.
Interviewing the secretary of the treasury tomorrow.
I'll call to warn him.
So,how are you? Uh,fine.
We're fine.
Just having lunch.
The ex-wife.
Excuse me.
I should take this.
So,I see the covenant's finally been broken.
Excuse me? You and james.
Come on,katie,I could see it across the room.
What happened to all the witty banter and the flirting? If I had to guess,I would say something happened to shut you guys up.
Wow,and I thought your ignorance was just limited to the financial.
Some advice -- woman to woman? - It's lose/lose for you.
- Meaning? Meaning even if he has feelings for you, which he does,it's all a diversion for him.
From what,exactly? From the reality that he isn't over his marriage.
Look how quickly he jumps when the ex calls.
It's rebound time,katie.
This guy is nowhere near ready.
Enjoy your lunch.
I was up until a moment ago.
Stacey wants to see me.
Says it's important.
Alex leave? There was an opening at the local charm school.
She didn't want to be late.
Glad to see you're getting some exercise.
Oh,yeah? Why's that? Well,relieves the stress of being unemployed.
I know it was you.
Sorry? I know you told the press about what happened at threst stop.
Well,on the off chance that you could prove it, what are you gonna do about it? I haven't decided yet.
But whatever it is,it's gonna suck.
For you.
Thanks for coming.
No problem.
What's going on? Well,I have news.
Okay.
A lot of news,actually.
I'm pregnant.
It's nick's,obviously.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
It wasn't -- you know,I mean,we didn't plan it.
Yeah,yeah,you can spare the whole part about the failed birth control.
Right.
Uh,so,now that we are,we're,um, we'rehinking aboutetting married.
"Married.
" Well,you know,when you find something you're really good at -- no,thank you.
Nick has been offered a job in california.
He's seriously considering it,so we're gonna move.
And I would like -- of course,I would want to take the kids with me.
Just -- just slow down.
Back it up.
You're acting like this is a done deal.
Oh,no,no,no.
No.
T-that's not what I meant.
You know,it's just that things are happening really fast,and -- and this opportunity came along for nick.
I don't care.
I don't care.
If you knew how little I care about nick and his opportunities.
I know it's a loT.
Let me make this very clear to you,stacey.
You're taking sam and dash,our kids -- my kids -- to california over my dead body.
proudly presents Big Shots Season01 Episode09 What a joke.
Thought we had this whole custody thing figured out,but now looks like you may need to go to court.
I'll get you a number just in case.
I know a great lawyer.
Yours? No,lisbeth'S.
Took me for every penny I had.
Y,I thought you were taking off to see carter today.
I am.
I'm gonna pack right now.
Gonna be okay? Yeah,I'll be fine.
Hey,good luck.
Watch out for this guy.
I heard he's nuts.
He may be nuts,but he's my only chance at getting reveal back.
So,james,this should cheer you up.
I figured out why janelle kept those letters.
Why? Think about it.
My wife's the kind of woman that's not afraid to ask for anything,right? She kept those poems because it's the one thing she doesn't think I'm capable of.
You know,being artistic and creative and romantic.
Well,clearly,she's right.
Wrong! You are wrong! And I will prove it to you and her.
Yeah,I'm gonna write her a love poem so good it'll knock those little manolo blahniks right off her feet.
Good for you.
Who are you looking for? Remember that guy I told you about? Eddie jenowski? The guy who bullied me? He called me up,asked me to have dinner with him.
So,are you,uh - Still afraid of him? - No.
And by no,I mean yes.
Come on,you're not a pimply faced nerd anymore,karl.
Yeah,now you're the pimply faced C.
E.
O.
Of a major corporation.
You know what? You're right.
I'm a success.
A huge,amazing success.
Okay,don't go overboard.
At least I'm more of a success than eddie jenowski,right? I mean,what's he got? A few steakhouses.
Red meat,for god's sake.
Karl,he actually helps you keep the country on lipitor.
If you think about it,buddy,he actually works for you.
Karl? Karl mixworthy? Eddie jenowski? Ready for dinner? Sure.
That's a big guy.
Hope he doesn't eat him.
So,you're spending the weekend wi gavin carter?" You know they call him "carter the cat.
He's been given up for dead like 10 times.
He's some kind of extreme-sports enthusiast,right? And the poster child for chemical imbalances.
All I need to do is woo him with my daredevil prowess, he sells me his reveal stock,and I take back control of the company.
It's a genius plan.
It was nice not knowing you,duncan.
What? You don't think I can hang with this guy? Barhopping is not an extreme sport.
Proves how little you know your own father.
I'm an adventure-seeker.
Yes,but the adventures you seek require antibiotics.
Look,I want you to both know how much I appreciate you quitting after the board fired me.
Welcome to the family.
The drama never ends.
Yeah,but if this trip goes well,we'll all be back at reveal soon enough.
And,uh,keep an eye on things for me here.
I want this place in one piece when I get back.
That was pretty cool of him to let us stay here.
Pretty cool of him to let us have a party.
Oh,see,the second I saw you,I knew we shared the same blood.
I've got to tell you,eddie,it's been very nice seeing you again.
Yeah,it has.
Hey,I really appreciate you taking the time,karl,considering well,you know,thway things used to be between us.
You remember that.
Yeah,well I was a pretty rotten kid back in those days.
I got to tell you,karl,the way I treated you was Well,let's just say those weren't my proudest moments.
It's all in the past,eddie.
We're both adults now.
Happy,successful.
Well,I'm glad you feel that way,'cause,uh I need a letter of recommendation from a current member to help get me into firmwood.
Really yeah.
Look I was hoping that once you saw what a different guy I was,that,uh well,maybe you'd help me out.
I'm really sorry,eddie.
I'm afraid I can'T.
We're limited to two letters of recommendation per year.
I've already filled my quota.
Well,you're a popular guy,karl.
I should have known.
Thanks.
Duncan! Gavin.
Great to see you,man! Great to see you,too.
All of you.
I hardly ever wear clothes up here.
Something about the air.
It just gets me all Pumped up.
Yeah.
I can see that.
Come on.
Let's get you settled in.
I-I was hoping we could talk a little business first.
Business? You just got here.
I was just about to jump in the river,take a swim.
"A swim"? It's like 35 degrees out.
I mean,the water's probably freezing.
It's great.
Nothing like the cold to get the blood flowing,huh? Unless,of course,you can't handle it.
"Handle it"? Are you kidding me? I love the cold.
I'm,like,half polar bear.
By any chance,did you happen to bring a crossbow with you? "Crossbow"? No.
I mean,I-I-I was going to,but mine's in the shop.
No worries.
I'll lend you one.
GreaT.
See that? I told you he was a nice guy.
You were right.
He's nice.
He's really nice.
I guess people can change.
What are you writing? That poem for janelle.
This is a lot harder than I thought it was gonna be.
I was president of the poetry society in high school.
Really? And yet eddie still wanted to beat you up? You know,in the end,I'm kind of glad I couldn't write him that letter of recommendation.
Really? Why? Who wants to be reminded of their agonizing youth every single day? karl? Look,here's the thing.
He asked me,and,well,I -- Brody johns! Just want to shake the hand of the man that got me into firmwood.
You got him in? One word from brody,they threw open the gates.
How'd you get the letter in so fast? E-mail.
Well,they just made it official,so,uh thanks again,buddy.
I -- karl,I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
But you said he was a changed man,and he practically begged me.
I-I didn't know you felt this way.
Look,I'm sorry,all right? Look,would you just go rack the balls? I'll get us a couple beers,all right? Congratulations,eddie.
I'm glad it worked out.
Are you? Yes,of course.
So,uh eddie,I was waiting for the table.
Were you? Yeah,I'm next,actually.
You were next,mixworthy.
And now you're next again.
After me.
Matter of fact,since you're not doing anything, why don't you wander over to the bar there and get me a beer? Oh,unless you want to be the 8 ball.
I just want to do what's right for the kids.
I assume homicide wouldn't qualify.
No,not in most states.
The thing is,I feel that consistency is the most important thing.
I mean,tell me if I'm wrong.
You're not wrong.
In divorce,consistency is very important.
Unfortunately,their mother's departure would hindethat, regardless of what you do.
So,no matter how you slice it,the kids lose.
In these cases.
Given the circumstances,the age of the children,et cetera, more often than not,the judge leans towards the mother.
I just -- it just doesn't make sense.
I am just as involved in my kids' lives as she is.
I know you are.
But that's the reality.
It would be a long,painful,uphill battle.
One you'd more than likely lose.
Big boxer now,mixworthy? Hey,you could have used those gloves back in the day,huh? Is that how you box? My 92-year-old grandmother could kick your ass from her walker.
Why don't you just go work out,eddie? Uh,no.
No,I think I'd rather watch you.
Hey,who taught you how to box? Hilary swank? Look,eddie,I realize this used to be a lot of fun for you, but we're not in school anymore.
If you have a problem with me,you should just tell me.
We'll talk it over.
"Talk it over"? What are you? My therapist? LookI would just rather handle our difficulties as mature adults.
Well,that wouldn't be as much fun.
For me,anyway.
Okay,eddie.
I see where this is going.
Let's just stay out of each other's way.
Seriously.
Go work ouT.
Or what,karl? What are you gonna do about it? You know what,eddie? You're right.
Maybe we shod settle this your way.
Yeah? How are we gonna do that? You and me in the ring.
Fair fight.
"You and me"? Okay.
Yeah,sure.
There's a great idea.
I mean it,eddie.
Oh,come on.
You don't want to fight me,mixworthy.
Actually,I think I do.
Okay.
All right.
You know what? You asked for it.
You and me.
Right here.
Friday.
10:00 A.
M.
Oh,my god.
I'm gonna die.
All right,so I will handle thievery and vandalism.
You are on puke patrol and alcohol-related fisticuffs.
Got it.
Hey,uh,any word from duncan? No.
Probably too busy spelunking.
Why? Oh,just,you know,wondering how it's going.
Zack.
Zack! Man,how you doing? Mike.
I-I didn't know you were in new york.
Yeah.
Yeah,for a while now.
Uh,how'd you hear about this shindig? Wendy is lisa's cousin's roommate.
She works with a guy in my office.
Sorry if I'm interrupting here.
Oh,you're not.
Trust me.
I'm his sister,cameron.
"Sister"? Sincwhen do you have a sister who looks like this? Uh,incoming.
Catch up with you later,bud.
Oh,is big brother protecting my virtue? Oh,god.
Puke patrol.
Get on that.
Okay,hold on.
I'm coming! Come here,you.
Brody,I did something really stupid.
I'm gonna fight eddie jenowski.
What? I tried to be reasonable with him.
But then I thought,if I don't stand up to this guy, I'll never get past this.
Bold move.
You nervous? I was.
I was really scared.
But you know what? You guys are right.
I've been boxing for a while -- uh,boxercising.
It's not quite the same thing.
Not to mention,I'm a grown man.
You're 5'4",actually.
That's not fully grown.
Best of all,I have you to help me.
You were golden gloves,right? So,we'll do a little training.
Sure,karl.
All righT.
Boxing is all abt strategy,all right? It's all up here.
You just got to use your head.
Okey And we're gonna get you a helmet.
Better.
I can't lieve you're zack's sister.
You and me both.
How do you two know each other again? We went to college together.
I guess if I had a sister who looked like you, I'd keep her away from my frat brothers,too.
Thanks.
Do all of your compliments sound so creepy? It's too bad,really.
We could have had a hell of a time out in L.
A.
L.
A.
,Like,as in "los angeles"? Yeah.
Convenient place to put ucla.
Zack went to princeton.
Zack went to ucla with me.
You two really ought to get your stories straight.
But I think we should take a stand and see where it gets us.
Or I could take the meeting naked and distract them.
You're not listening to me,are you? No,I am.
Pasties and a g-string would be much more effective.
Keep the mystery alive.
Uh,it's fine.
Wean do this later.
Katie,I'm sorry.
No,let's -- let's do it now.
I just can't seem to foc on anything else but the kids right now.
I'm not surprised.
Is there anything I can do? No,not really.
Unless you want to weigh in on whether or not to have a nasty court battle with a soon-to-be-ex.
Acey's not willing to compromise? I-I don't know what stacey's willing to do.
I n barely even look at her anymore.
Do I follow the kids out there? Do I try and fly back and forth? Every bone in my body is telling me to fht, but to drag this thing through court If I didn't think she was legally insane, I'swear this was a joke.
How could I have been married to her for so long and not see how self-absorbed she is? What? You know,you might not want to hear this.
But the reason you don't know what to do right now is because you're still so angry at stacey.
And this isn't about you.
This isn't about stacey or her cheatg on you or any of it.
I know that.
Well,then act like it.
I can't tellou what's right or wrong,but what I do know is that your children are the most important thing in the world to you.
So you need to ask yourself what's best for them.
Are you yelling at me? Yes,I am.
And I'll tell you something else.
You deserve it.
Hey,how's it going? We've been doing everything but talking business.
We've been off-roading,slack-lining,ice climbing.
I don't know if I'm here to make a deal or train for the x-games.
I got to get this guy to focus.
Otherwise,I have no chance at reveal.
What's going on there? Well,james' lawyer told him that stacey's getting the kids, karl challenged eddie jenowski to a fight, and I've been writing poetry in my spare time.
All in one day? I got to quit leaving town.
Did you say you were writing poetry? Yeah.
I need a word that rhymes with "overbearing.
" I gotta go.
Gavin! Morning! Morning,duncan.
Beautiful day.
What do yosay? Ready to talk a little business? Definitely.
But let's do it out in the fresh air.
"The fresh air"? Oh,no.
When you said "fresh air," I thought you meant the patio! It's pretty tough to talk business up here! Exactly! First we jump! Then we talk! I got to be honest,carte I never jumped out of an airplane before! Don't worry! There's a man on the ground to help you with the landing! Does he happen to have an ambulance down there? I like you,duncan a hell of a lot more than those sons of bitches on the board! Does that mean you're gonna sell me your stock? I'll tell you what -- you jump out of this plane with me,you got yourself a deal! Deal! So,what's the latest with zack? Something's just not right about him.
Well,that makes perfect sense.
Look who his father is.
Well,that's the thing.
I -- I can't shake this feeling.
What? That duncan isn't his father.
Uh,cake for my wedding.
There's tahitian vanilla and lemon chiffon.
We have to choose.
I thought they did a paternity test.
They did.
I-I know it doesn't make any sense, but there's all these weird inconsistencies in his stories.
Look,cam.
Zack hasn't had it easy.
I mean,he came from a completely different background.
I mean,it must be a heady thing for a kid like that to find out that duncan is your father.
Yeah,I've known all my life.
I'm still not over it.
Exactly.
But here's a radical idea.
Why don't you just ask him? What? Be ufront and straightforward? I'm not sure that's in my dna.
You forget,I'm duncan's kid,too.
I did it! Yes! I did it! What a rush! Nothing like it.
How long till carter gets down? We got a deal to close! Well,he should be diving just about there he goes.
- He does this a lot,huh? - Yeah.
He's the most experienced diver I've ever worked with.
Shouldn't that chute be opening? Nah,he likes to wait it out.
It's gonna open,right? Right? Wait! There's something wrong.
Carter! Oh,my deal.
Zack,you -- you scared me.
Well,I'm incredibly imposing.
Uh,wherd you disappear to last night? I got lucky.
Didn't you see me leave with the cute redhead with the tramp stamp? No,I didn'T.
Anyway,um,I should go.
I-I have an appointment.
Sorry for leaving you one last night.
I hope mike didn't t on you relentlessly.
He told me you went to ucla.
I did,yeah.
Uh,senior year at princeton,I,um,had a little trouble getting to class on time.
Or at all.
So,uh so,the dean and i made a deal.
If I completed my credits elsewhere,I'd still get a princeton diploma.
Hence,ucla.
Hello.
Uh,nope.
No one here by that name.
Sorry.
Wrong number.
Unless my name's felix.
Which I'm sure mike told you it was.
I really got to go.
As most of the financials have been agreed upon, I'd ke to address the proposed change in custody.
Now,given mrs.
Walker's intended relocation -- there's no need to discuss a change.
If your intention is to bypass negotiations entirely and go directly to court -- that is not our intention.
The custody arrangement previously agreed on in mediation can remain intact given the fact thatmr.
Walker has requested a transfer to california.
Since this move -- w-wait a minute.
You're resigning? The particulars will be in mr.
Walker's financial disclosure.
I'm not asking about the financiadisclosure.
James,if you walk away from that job,your career at amerimart is over.
And what? Only women can choose their kids over their careers? I worked my way to the top once before,stacey.
I'll do it again if I have to.
Diagnostic Hedical Testing What made you decide? The kids.
I mean,a job's a job,but I think about my priorities,they're right there in front of me.
I have no choice.
I've got to follow my kids and be their dad.
Yeah.
California's not so bad.
Great women,great beaches.
Great golf.
Yeah,we'll fly out.
You'll come here.
How you holding up? I have no luck.
That's my problem.
Uh,no,carter has no luck.
So,would you guys think a lot less of me if I don't show up for my fight tomorrow? Oh,come on,karl.
You can stand up to this guy.
Yeah,at least for a couple of seconds.
That's what I'm afraid of.
Oh,look.
The happy couple.
If that guy steps one foot in my direction come on,let's get out of here.
Ah,too late.
Are you okay? Cameron to me about the accident.
Yeah,I'm fine.
I'm not the one whose chute didn't open.
Good luck just seems to follow you wherever you go,duncan.
Helped along by you,right,terrence? Get some rest.
Terrence.
I forgot to tell you something.
Yeah,what's that? You okay? You all right? DuncaN.
Duncan.
Wait a second! What the hell was that? You cannot go around punching people in the face.
Especially people I'm abouto marry.
He's not who you think he is,lizzy.
What does that mean? He ruined my life.
No,you ruined your life,duncan,with your own bad behavior.
You know what? You're right.
I did.
But that was my mistake.
People do a lot of screwed-up things.
They don't end up on the 11:00 news.
What are you saying? Did terrence go public with that story? Don't marry him,lizzy.
Don't do it.
Don't do it.
They said that I could wait for you in here.
We need to talk.
Yeah,I don't think that's such a good idea.
James,I have something that I want to say.
I really don't want to do it through a lawyer.
You know,the,uh The fact that you were willing to give up everying that you've ever worked for look,I know that we we may not be a family anymore,but what you were willing to do to make our kids' lives work I can't take that away from them.
What are you saying? I'm not going to california.
I'll stay here and raise the baby,and nick will fly back and forth.
How's nick taking that? Apparently he's not as interested in his kid as you are in yours.
That's it.
James I always thought your career was the most important thing in the world to you.
You were wrong.
So,he was telling the truth.
You exposed him to the press.
Lisbeth -- you know,I think we should put our wedding plans on hold.
Look,lisbeth,I'm not proud of what I've done.
I had a moment of insecurity.
I let jealousy cloud my judgment.
Can you forgive me? The way you've forgiven duncan all his transgressions? Duncan never hurts anyone intentionally.
Lisbeth,let me make this right.
How? I mean,duncan's lost everything he's ever worked for.
He's been plicly humiliated.
How are you gonna make that right? Okay,this isn't public knowledge, but I've been buying up reveal stock for years.
In small increments.
Together,with the shares you have,we could get duncan his job back.
And he never needs to know.
You would do that? Of course I would.
If I knew it meant you would marry me.
I love you,lisbeth.
And I believe you love me,too.
I made a mistake.
Let me help him.
Do we have a deal? All right,remember,karl -- jab,jab,power,jab.
Jab,jab,power,jab! All right,and if he gets too close,hands up,duck.
Duck.
Hey,why isn't he warming up? Because that would indicate that he actually sees you as an adversary.
But with a lot of hair on his back,he doesn't need to warm up,anyway.
So,who do you think is gonna win? "Win"? I'm hoping karl survives.
Let's go! Come on,karl! Keep your hands up! Stay in it.
Stay in it.
Come on,karl.
Yes! There you go! All right,come on! Hey,I thought I told you to duck.
Yeah,you also told me to buy triflecta global at 90.
Why should I start trusting you now? Come on,karl! You can do this! Come on,karl.
Hey,you need to set this guy straight.
all that crap he did to you in the past? If you don't,he's gonna spend the next 20 years doing it to you all over again.
Do you remember high school,karl? Oh,come on.
Four years of sleepless nights and wedgies and swirlies and purple nurples.
- Is that what you want? - No! No? All right! So you need to stand up for yourself,karl! Put an end to this! Do it now! Come on! All right,all right.
This is done.
Back off,eddie.
This is over.
- That's it.
- No,it's not.
No,no,no.
No,no.
I need an apology.
You drag me in this ring,you don't even let me break a sweat.
You know what? That's just rude,mixworthy.
- You want an apology? - Yeah.
I'm really sorry.
Remind me never to ask brody for an apology.
Hello? So,I just wanted to let you know I'm taking the hudson account off of valerie's hands.
Uh,katie,wait a second.
Uh,I just wanted to say thank you.
For what? For kicking my ass about stacey.
You were right.
As soon as I cooled off and thought about the kids, I knew what I had to do.
I'm glad everything worked out.
Thanks.
It's just,I mean,no one gets under my skin the way shdoes.
Well,as your ex-wife,that's her job.
Yeah,and she's very good at it.
It's not gonna always be that way -- how crazy she makes you.
It's just a matter of time.
Yeah.
The thing is,she may get to me, but,katie,you're the one who knows me.
And,you know,about what happened with us -- uh,james.
before you say anything else,um oliver and I,we're back together.
He left his wife.
"An angel's smile what you sell.
"You promise me heaven,yet put me through hell.
"Chains of love got a hold on me.
When passion's a prison,you can't break free.
" What is that? It sounds familiar.
Bon jovi.
What? You guys said I could steal.
I meant from shakespeare.
Janelle's from new jersey.
In new jersey,bon jovi is shakespeare.
Shot through the heart and you're to blame darling, you give love a bad name bad name Thank you,firmwood.
Thank you.
Rock on.
I got to admitit does describe your relationship perfectly.
She didn't mind that you stole it? "Mind"? She thought it was the most romantic thing I've ever done for her.
You're a lover and a fighter.
Hey,what can I say? You were inspiring.
It was so muchun watching you hit terrence,I couldn't resist.
Have I thanked you enough,buddy? Don't worry about it.
I'm not gonna write you a poem,though.
By the way,karl,eddie jenowski withdrew his membership.
At least you don't have to see him every day.
Actually,I wouldn't mind.
The truth is,I feel kind of sorry for him.
Why? Even though eddie kicked my ass, now that I think of it,he never had any friends.
After all these years,he had to ask me to write him a letter of recommendation? How sad is that? Almost as sad as a grown man plagiarizing bon jovi.
Oh,what say? You want to hear verse two? Ooh,saved by the bell.
Hello? Well,how did that happen? You're kidding.
I'm,uh I'm on my way.
You're not gonna believe this.
I got my job back.
The board reinstated me.
How? I have no idea.
Duncan,it's me.
I've been looking everywhere for you.
Call me when you get this.
I need to talk to you.
It's important.
PROBABILITY OF PATERNITY:0% Cam,open the door.
