Melrose Place s02e11 Episode Script

First one to the door! Smoked you, Campbell.
Ow.
You cheated.
Think you guys could be a little more competitive? He started it.
Come on, finish the argument at my place.
I've got fresh-squeezed O.
J.
I gotta get to work early.
Go ahead, cheater.
Bye.
Hi, Jo.
Hi.
Why don't you join us at my place for breakfast? Oh, I'd like to, but I have to get to the photo lab.
So, how are things with Robert? Fine.
Real good, as a matter of fact.
Jo Another time, Alison.
See ya.
What was that about? Oh, nothing.
It's complicated.
Somehow I got between Jo and Steve McMillan, and she blames me for their breakup.
What do you mean "got between"? Well I think he sort of fell for me or something.
The other night he kissed me.
Well, really, we kissed.
Uh, wait a minute.
You and Steve? Yeah.
I feel really guilty about it.
And the worst part I am sort of drawn to him.
I don't know what to do about it.
You don't, huh? Well, uh, let me give you a few pointers from the front.
Don't poach off other women's relationships, is that clear enough? Jane listen, this is not my fault.
No, you listen.
It was never Michael's fault either, or Kimberly's or anybody's.
It was just fate.
Well, I don't call it fate, I call it weakness.
This is not the same thing.
Yes, it is.
You keep it up and Billy's gonna end up trusting you about as much as Jo does.
I have to speak to you right away.
Leave me alone, Michael.
I'm working.
Kimberly, you have every right to be mad I'm not mad.
I'm busy.
I see it.
Now I finally see it.
You've really been there for me all the time, and I've never appreciated it.
But I do now, and I love you.
And I don't want anybody else but you forever.
Oh, come on.
Don't you understand? I know how wonderful you are, and how blind I've been.
And I'll do anything to get you back.
Pay any price.
You're everything to me, Kimberly.
And, yes, I've abused you, and for that, I'm very, very, sorry.
Michael, we have an agreement.
We work together.
That's all I want or can handle right now.
That's not true.
I can see it.
You're lying to me, Kimberly.
No.
I'm not.
You're the expert at that, remember, not me.
I mean it, Ellen.
As far as I can see, everybody in this town is out for themselves.
You're kind of young to be so cynical, aren't you? Just realistic.
Sounds to me like you've got boyfriend problems.
Don't worry.
You'll get over it.
We better rock if we're gonna set up before the lunch rush.
Some of the other girls say that's a fake, you know, a copy watch? Ah.
It is the genuine article.
See the second hand? It sweeps.
It doesn't stop at the second mark.
That's how you can tell.
It's beautiful.
God, if you can afford that, what are you doing working here? It was a gift.
Maybe you should come to a party with me tonight.
I don't know.
I'm kind of tired of people.
Not these people.
I'm talking Hollywood "A" list party, kiddo.
I think you would have a great time, and it would sure get that mind off your boyfriend of yours.
Maybe you're right.
Maybe I could use a night on the town.
What is it, Sydney? Hi, uh, don't be mad, OK? But see, this friend of mine asked me to this fancy party tonight, and I'm really jazzed, but I've been looking in my closet, and the only dress I have that's even half nice is kind of out of date.
So I was wondering if you would like to come, and if you have a dress that I could borrow just for the night.
I mean, your designs are so cool.
I'll take real good care of it, I promise.
You amaze me.
Is that good? No.
And no, I don't want to go with you.
And no, you cannot borrow one of my dresses.
Good night, Sydney.
You're just plain mean, you know that, Jane? I make one mistake, and Miss Perfect is gonna hold it against me for the rest of my life.
It wasn't a mistake, Sydney.
You slept with my husband.
Now leave me alone.
Oh, my God! Oh! What is it? Damn you, Michael.
You scared me to death.
I'm sorry, really.
I still had the extra car key.
I didn't want to miss you.
Oh, my gosh.
I guess I fell asleep.
Please get out of the car.
I want to go home now.
Wait, I just wanted to tell you that you were right.
I have been a liar, and though I may not deserve you, I am changing.
Michael, I can't do this now, OK? I'm tired.
And I can't take this anymore, all right? I don't believe this.
I've ruined everything.
I love you so much.
And you don't, do you? You don't love me anymore.
You know it's not true, and for God's sakes, get a tissue out of the glove box.
I can't stand seeing you like this.
Michael, what is the matter with you? First you scare me half to death, and now you're having a nervous breakdown.
What are you doing to me? Honestly? I guess I'm trying to wear you down.
Oh, sweetheart.
I'm you know I'm getting help.
And it's helped me realize that although I may not deserve you, I can't live without you.
Is that what you said to Jane? No, no.
No, no, this is you and me.
And, look, even if you decide not to take me back, I'll always love you.
Always.
Why don't you let me take you out again just once? It's possible.
It's possible, but right now I still want you to get out of my car.
I have to get some rest.
Whatever you say.
Kimberly I love you.
Maybe you do after all, Michael.
I guess we'll see.
Now close the door.
Oh, yeah.
Yes! This party is just like you advertised, Ellen.
It's just like walking around inside People magazine or something.
Yeah.
Pretty cool, huh? Now, there's a fresh young thing isn't it? How much? I don't know yet, but you've got your hands full tonight, anyway, Carl.
Do you think this dress is all right? I mean, it's kind of Yeah, it's great, Syd.
Come on.
There's somebody I'd like you to meet.
Lauren, I have someone here I think you'd like to meet.
This is Sydney.
Sydney, this is your hostess, Lauren Etheridge.
Hello.
Hi.
Nice to meet you.
And thanks for letting me come to this great party.
You're more than welcome.
I'm so glad you could come.
I guess everyone tells you this, but you have a beautiful house.
And you're a wonderful addition to this jaded bunch.
I'm Carl Canin.
This is so great.
Mr.
Canin, I love your movies.
Excuse us.
Sydney, there's some wonderful food inside.
Why don't you go in, have a bite, and I'll come by later and introduce you around.
OK.
Thanks.
I can't believe I just met Carl Canin.
You'll get a chance to know him better.
That would be great.
Sometimes I'm kind of a geek.
I hope I'm not embarrassing you.
Oh, no, no.
You're perfect.
Steve, you can't hide from red tape up at the ranch.
That's why someone like you invented fax machines.
Mark any problems you have with the press releases and zip them back to me.
Yeah.
Same to you, buddy.
Oh, listen, Jo's here with some proofs.
I got to go.
Yeah, I can do that.
Bye.
These have been color-corrected.
So I think you and Amanda will like them better than the last batch.
Thanks.
That was Steve on the phone.
He said to tell you he sends his best.
Jo, please.
We're friends.
Can't we straighten this out? I don't see how.
Look, I am honestly sorry things didn't work out between you and Steve.
I did not mean to get in the way, but this is all just a misunderstanding.
I'm with Billy.
You know that.
Steve is the one who made the mistake, and I know that he's sorry, too.
He is really a good guy.
He's just he's sensitive and and maybe a little impulsive and, I guess, indecisive.
I don't know.
Anyway, I know he didn't mean to hurt anybody.
You should hear yourself.
What do you mean? Well, if you're really with Billy, maybe you should concentrate on him instead of going on and on about your sensitive friend Steve.
Did you see that dweeb on 42? He sent his burger back three times, and me with the hangover of the century.
Why do you think I dropped two shifts? Too much hassle.
Hi.
How are you two ladies doing? Hi, Lauren.
I didn't expect to see you here.
Would you like a burger or something? Uh, no, thanks.
I've already eaten.
Sydney, would you like to go out with Carl Canin tonight? What? Me? Sure.
He doesn't really want to go out with me, does he? Yes, he does.
He told me he was very impressed with you last night and would like to take you out to a couple of the happening clubs.
Lauren, I don't know.
I mean, I wouldn't know what to say.
He's a big famous guy.
We'll make it a double date, how about that? I know a friend of his.
Great.
Come by my house around 10:00.
They'll pick you up there, OK? OK.
Great.
Bye.
This is too cool to be true.
Hey.
What's the occasion? Call it a "I'm sorry I've been so nuts at work" "and ignored my boyfriend too long" dinner.
You stuck with me through a lot lately and even saved my skin a couple of times.
And I owe you big time.
If it was Monday night, I'd even watch football.
Did you read a relationship article in some magazine or something? No.
I just love you.
I have chicken cordon bleu and wild rice.
Did you make that? Well, the rice came in a boiling bag, and the chicken came frozen.
You pop it in the oven like dinner rolls.
Ooh, you're naked under this.
That's your appetizer, mister.
That's homemade.
Oh, yeah, let me tell you.
The ocean loses its luster when you're trying to sleep alone in an empty house.
There I'd be at 3 A.
M.
, and every time I'd finally doze off, some big-ass wave all the way from Japan would hit the beach, and I'd jump out of bed again and look for you.
You know what I think's keeping you awake? What? Your guilty conscience.
No.
It was King Neptune.
Can you believe people actually buy tapes of the surf to go to sleep? It can be quite soothing under the right circumstances.
And this is my point exactly, Doctor.
I haven't, um, had any of those circumstances for a long time.
Oh.
Uh, plenty for me, thank you.
I should have stopped after our first bottle.
What's the matter? Afraid your libido might get loose? Actually, that happened a while ago.
Seems like old times, eh? Mm-hmm.
Why don't you take me home, and we'll see what we can do about those bad old waves? Oh, now that's a great idea, but one minute.
There's something I want to give you first.
Michael, what is this? Just open it.
Open it.
Open it.
What is this? Marry me, Kimberly.
Has your guilty conscience made you crazy? What? I know you don't mean this.
I was there for your first marriage, remember? Come on, I'm not crazy.
I'm dead serious now.
I love you very much.
Damn you, Michael.
If only you'd done it a month ago.
Get the check.
I'll meet you at the car.
Mmm.
Music soothes the savage beast.
Something like that.
Michael, I'm sorry I reacted so badly back there.
It's just that after everything we've been through, that we were more realistic with each other.
What, you want to use me up and never make me legal, babe? Come on.
You just caught me off-guard, that's all.
I don't want to do this for the wrong reason.
Besides, I'm not used to all this mushy stuff from you.
Hey, I'm just trying to make you happy, babe.
Michael! Whoa! Whoa-oh.
Are you all right to drive? Oh, yeah, yeah.
I'm fine, I'm fine.
Now come on, try it on just to see what it looks like.
No, I know you.
This is some kind of trap.
This is the new me Sensitive, honest.
Oh, I hate that "sensitive man" thing.
You know I Come on, where's the rat I love? No, not the ring.
I'm not that kind of girl.
How many carats is that? Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Come on and say it.
Come on, say it.
Come on, say it.
All right! I'll marry you.
Michael! Aah! My God.
Help me! Please help me! I can't move.
I can't move.
Don't worry, sir.
We'll get you out.
How many in the car? What? Huh? How many in the car, sir? Just two.
We got two in the vehicle! Just oh, my God.
Just me and Kimberly.
Kimberly! Kimberly.
We'll start at the top.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
God.
Try to keep calm.
Please! Oh, no! Kimberly she can't be dead.
She can't be dead.
It's going to be all right, Michael.
Snapped fibula, maybe some spinal trauma to the guy, but the woman looks bad.
Multiple fractures, internal bleeding a real mess.
Take him to room four and clean him up! Call the neuro and ortho residents, stat! This one, room one! And get a surgeon! We've lost the pulse! Code blue! Let's go! This dress is great, Ellen.
Thanks for the loan.
No prob.
Looks better on you than on me anyway.
Look.
When they pick us up, they'll probably want to go to Eighty-Six Altman, but you and I are going to say the Hyena Club.
It's a much more happening place, all right? Sure.
Sounds cool.
It is, believe me.
Matt, I want you to meet a friend of mine.
Sorry, Sydney, I can't.
Matt, what's the matter? I just got a call from Katya at the hospital.
Michael and Kimberly have been in a very serious car accident.
Oh, no.
Michael's pretty badly banged up, but he's stable.
Kimberly they don't know.
I'll tell Jane.
Good idea.
I'll tell the others.
We better get going.
Lauren will be pissed Listen, I can't go.
My brother-in-law's has been in a car accident.
Brother-in-law? Can't somebody else take care of it? No.
Tell Carl I'm sorry.
I'll talk to you later.
Whatever.
Who is it? Jane, it's an emergency! Damn it, Sydney, I'm tired of this! Michael has been in an accident.
He and Kimberly are in the hospital.
They're both pretty bad.
Jane Michael's in the hospital.
I I heard you.
How'd it happen? I don't know.
Get dressed.
I'll drive.
What's going on? Oh.
I didn't know you had company.
Michael's in the hospital.
He's been in an accident.
Jane, if you have to go, go.
Like she needs your permission? It's her husband.
No, he's not.
Not anymore.
What are you saying? We're divorced, Sydney.
Try to understand that.
I I don't wish him any harm.
I'll call the hospital and see how he's doing, but I'm not going to stand at his bedside.
Are you crazy? Michael could die, and you're going to stay here with your lover? How can you be so heartless and cold? Can't you stop thinking about yourself for one minute? Go, Sydney.
Get out.
Michael was right.
You're a horrible, unfeeling bitch! Ohhh Ohhh We have taken a look at your x-rays, Michael.
You have some severe back injuries.
Your surgeon may have to fuse a couple of vertebrae.
I don't care.
What about Kimberly? We don't really know yet.
But she's stable.
Tell me doctor to doctor how is she? of diazepam, please.
Tell me.
Kimberly's got a lot of problems including some severe head injuries.
It's serious, Michael.
Very serious.
Look, the police don't really know what happened.
Somehow, he lost control of the car and it flipped over.
They're both being rushed into surgery right away.
We won't know anything until later.
Maybe we should come back tomorrow.
We probably won't be able to see him tonight.
Somehow I feel we should be here.
If Jane comes, she'll need support.
Where'd you go? It took me forever to get a cab! Sydney, I thought you were coming with Jane.
Where's Michael? He's going into surgery.
I have to see him! No! You can't! Sydney! Kimberly's going to be in the operating room right next-door.
Michael! Syd Let me see him! I love him so much! Get her out of here.
I'm trying, Doctor! Hey hey Michael I love you.
This is all you this is all your fault.
If you hadn't come between us this never would've happened.
Stay away from me.
Oh! Michael! Dr.
Petrova, one moment.
Please make sure copies of all the blood work are sent to me tomorrow.
We suspect this accident could be alcohol-related.
I'll get it to you as soon as I can.
Right now we have to get these people treated.
This seat taken? One of these is for you.
Cream or black It's up to you.
Hey, come on.
It's It's really bad coffee.
It'll make the rest of your life seem rosy.
Cream, I guess.
Got any sugar? Yeah.
You know, Sydney, I, uh I know this has got to be difficult for you.
I know you feel alone, huh? I'm all right.
Good.
Good, but can I offer you a, uh bit of advice? Michael, um as a friend probably is not going to be available to you for a while.
But with some help, maybe, uh family counseling, whatever there's a good chance you could repair your relationship with your sister.
I could recommend somebody, even talk to Jane for you.
Matt, can I tell you something? You're a sweet guy and all, but you don't know what the hell you're talking about.
My sister's a witch.
And Michael and I have something very special that you couldn't understand.
Yes um well, if you ever need to talk, you know where I'm at.
Hey.
Butt out.
OK? What happened? Is he OK? This is terrible, isn't it? It's pretty bad.
We just came back from this club.
I got the message on my machine.
Is there any word? No, sweetie.
I'm gonna take off unless you think we'll hear something soon.
I'm going to check right now.
Kind of makes you think, doesn't it? Yeah, it does.
Carl was all disappointed and pouted for hours because you weren't there last night.
Oh, right.
Truth.
Well, trouble is, you probably missed your big chance with him.
Plus Lauren was pretty pissed.
Yeah, well, I'm sorry, but my night sucked, I'll tell you that.
So how is your your brother-in-law, was it? He's not good.
He might be paralyzed.
Oh.
That is not good.
Yeah.
See, the thing is, he's not only my brother-in-law.
He's kind of my boyfriend.
God.
Uh, Sydney Yeah.
And we have this understanding, right? But now, 'cause of the accident and my sister and her friends all crazy, we have to play it cool, which is hard for both of us.
Your sister doesn't know.
She knows but she pretends, you know? She could never satisfy him.
Anyway, now he doesn't want to hold me back.
So I'm just going to kind of date around until things get straightened out.
You come off all innocent, but you really know your way around, don't you? I'll talk to Lauren.
Maybe we could see what Carl and his friend are doing tonight.
Would you like to finally check out the Hyena Club? Sure.
Why not? That's bull, Dr.
Petrova.
I'm going to be fine.
I've been studying in this country a little longer than you.
My medical knowledge is a little bit more advanced.
That may be so.
I was just saying Yeah, I know what you're saying.
What I'm telling you is, I'll be walking as well as you do after the trauma subsides.
I'm sorry, Michael.
There are no guarantees.
Stop playing this game with me.
This is temporary, and you know it.
Fine.
However you want it.
He's all yours.
I brought the neurology text you wanted.
Oh.
Thanks, Matt.
Doing all right? Beside being paralyzed? Peachy.
How's Kimberly? Not good.
She, um She hasn't regained consciousness.
Uh, Michael Um I know this is hard.
Matt Come here.
Listen to me.
Right before I went under the knife, I heard a cop talking to Katya.
He wanted copies of my blood work.
They're going to try and pin driving under the influence on me.
Had you been drinking? Maybe a little.
We both were.
But with the new legal limit being so low, I still might be in trouble.
I mean what if Kimberly doesn't make it? We're talking manslaughter.
This is bad, Michael, I know but there's nothing you can do about it.
Yeah.
Maybe not me but if I had a friend who could get access Or had access To the hospital computer you could change a couple of numbers for me.
Are you nuts? Not only do I have major problems with this ethically, but it's illegal.
Ooh! You shove your ethics, Matt! I could end up in prison and never practice medicine again over one stupid mistake.
I wasn't really that drunk.
We were just just goofing around in the car and she grabbed the steering wheel.
Michael I can't do this.
Fine.
You stay pure and I'll be locked up and my life will be over.
But you'll be able to sleep at night, Matt because you never broke one of your own rules even for a friend.
Michael, there is a chance Look why don't you go back to that job I got you? I should've known I couldn't ask you for a favor.
Go on.
Go on, get out, now.
Hi, Michael.
Hi.
Can you believe this? I don't even know how it happened.
One minute on the road, the next minute, in the hospital.
Thanks for coming.
Sorry I couldn't come last night.
Oh, hey, you couldn't get in anyway.
Nobody could.
Oh, of course, you probably could've you know, being my wi Ex-wife.
Anyway I knew you'd show up, Jane.
We still have a connection no matter what.
Are you in much pain? Kind of the opposite problem.
Can't feel much.
Would you do me a favor? Bring me a cup of water? Mouth's a little dry.
Oh, sure.
I talked to Matt this morning.
Told me how you were doing.
He's a great guy.
I'm sorry, but could you hold it for me? My hand's a little shaky from the drugs.
Mmm! Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I got to go.
Can't you stay a little longer? No, really, I've got to get going.
I hope you feel better.
Jane.
Can't we be friends? I know a lot of bad things have happened, but that's water under the bridge now.
So much water, there's not much of a bridge left.
Take care of yourself.
Working late is one thing.
Stay any longer, and the restaurant will be closed.
I'll be ready to go in a sec.
I need to make a few copies of my brilliant words.
I'll be right back.
Make yourself at home.
This car is so great.
And you drive it like a pro.
Yeah, I actually took a competitive driving class.
On a track.
The whole thing.
Pulled 130 on the straightaway.
Amazing.
Wow.
What a great house.
It's, like Japanese or something.
Oh, just modern, really.
Yeah, I call it the house that Bold Lightning bought.
Paid cash right out of my percentage of the grosses.
Think you might want to let me visit the set of one of your movies sometime? Anything can happen, sweetheart but that's unlikely.
Come on, Carl.
I won't embarrass you.
I'll get us something to drink.
Why don't you take your clothes off and get comfortable? Yeah, right.
Is there a problem? No.
Then take off your damn clothes.
Wait a minute I'm sorry.
I forgot.
Lauren's girls Always want the money up front.
Carl, I don't Shh.
OK, now.
Maybe we can take this slow.
Start with the blouse.
Let's see that nice young stuff in there.
All right.
This act is getting old, sweetheart.
Get your butt over here and lift that skirt up, or I swear to God What? What is this? Some kind of setup? Listen, you little bitch! Get back here! I could end up in prison and never practice medicine again over one stupid mistake.
One stupid mistake.
Stupid mistake.
