Melrose Place s06e10 Episode Script

My Little Coma Girl

1 Come on, Kyle, please don't do this.
You wanna die, Baines? 'Cause my arm's getting tired, and I'd just as soon drop you as break a sweat.
For God's sake, just tell him! I didn't sleep with her.
Now pull me up, damn it! Is that true? Yes! Just pull him up! Are you all right? Who the hell cares if he's all right? Come on, let's get out of here.
I'm not through with you, Baines.
What the hell were you thinking? That you could save your agency by sleeping with Baines? No! I was doing it for you! I didn't want you to lose everything.
I love you! Yeah, well, you got a screwy way of showing it, lady.
I know how it must've looked.
But you have to believe me.
It's the only way I knew how to save your restaurant, the jazz club.
How could you prostitute yourself for any reason? Prostitute myself? Think it was a one shot deal, huh? Slam, bam, thank you.
Here's your advertising agency back.
It wasn't like that at all.
It was a business deal.
Eric had papers drawn up.
He was gonna sign it right after Right after you what, chased each other on the bed a couple of times? Wait.
Don't you walk away from me.
Tell me something.
If I hadn't shown up, what were you going to tell me? That's not the point.
That's what I thought.
Every morning brings another chance To figure it all out So I grit my teeth and give the world The benefit of the doubt And just when I think I've got it nicked And finally understand Life takes me 'round all interesting Corners that I've planned But you never know Where it leads You'll never understand What it means You'll never know Hi.
I know you can hear me, Megan.
I asked Jennifer to drop by a few of your CDs.
You know that music can get through to a person when words can't? I can hear a song that I haven't heard in years, and it takes me right back to wherever I was the first time I heard it.
To whoever I was with.
I have a feeling music does the same thing for you.
Now, I don't want you worrying about anything except for opening those big, brown eyes of yours.
And when you do, I'm gonna be right here, waiting.
I told you there must be some mistake! I'll be right back.
Can you read this nametag? I belong here! Hey, did you give orders that my wife wasn't to have any visitors? Yeah, that's right.
She's my wife, damn it! No.
You're legally separated, which means you don't have any rights.
But she is my patient.
I'll take care of this, nurse.
Thanks.
Okay.
Now, you know the drill, doctor.
I decide what's best for Megan, and it's my candid opinion that you'd only upset her.
You want to know what I think of your opinion? Hey! Michael, for once, can't you think about somebody other than yourself? All right.
You win, but I'm putting you on notice.
My name goes on that visitor's list or you're looking for a world of trouble.
Are we clear? Kyle, what happened last night? Did you find Amanda? Was she with Eric Baines? Do we sell the restaurant? What? Tell me.
Taylor, get out of my way.
Amanda.
What do you want? I'm here to pick up Kyle's things.
His toothbrush, t-shirt, underwear.
You know, things.
Get out.
No can do.
I'm on a mission.
Kyle wants me to pick up his stuff since you and he are Well, what are you exactly? You couldn't keep your mouth shut, could you? You had to tell Kyle all about Eric's offer.
Hardly.
Kyle's not a fool.
He can put two and two together.
Oh, well, however he found out, I'm sure gonna miss having him around here.
You know, he always made me feel so safe.
I guess from now on, I'm gonna have to fend for myself.
But luckily, before I met Kyle, I took lessons.
Filled out the registration forms 'cause you never know when somebody might break into your apartment.
Or be a general nuisance.
Amanda, what are you doing? Put that gun away before somebody gets hurt.
Well, I bought it a long time ago.
I never used it.
I don't even know if it works, but I'm willing to give it a try.
You've definitely got a screw loose.
Then get the hell out of my apartment before I blow that smirk off your face! And don't come back! Take a tuck here, lose an inch off the sleeve.
Okay, I'll take your jacket now.
Okay.
So, what's up? You're not having second thoughts about being my best man, are you? What? No, I'm sorry.
It's Jennifer.
I blew it with her.
How'd you do that? Night of the bachelor party, remember the assistant hotel manager? Miss Lindstrom.
Hard to forget.
Yeah, well, I invited her back to my place and Jennifer caught her leaving in the morning.
Oh, that's not good.
I mean, what was I thinking? I mean, we live in the same building.
Maybe I wanted to get caught.
I mean, why do I always do this to women? I mean, instead of being honest with Jennifer and telling her that I wasn't ready for a serious relationship, I sabotaged what we had.
Which was pretty damn good.
Yeah.
All right, you know what I think? I think you should be telling this to Jennifer.
You love the dress? It's perfect.
In fact, when I daydream about getting married, that's the dress I'm always wearing.
You're gonna be a beautiful bride, Sam.
And I'm always gonna be just a bridesmaid.
Excuse me, please.
What's with Jennifer? She doesn't seem like the breakdown and cry type.
Well, she's in love with Billy's best man.
She thinks he's the one, only he's got a problem with commitment.
Then he's not the one.
That's what I told her.
So what do you think? I designed it myself.
I think I envy Billy.
I just hope you're sure about all of this, that's all.
I've never been so sure with anyone.
I love Billy so much, I can't even put it into words.
Good.
You know, 'cause if you're not, you could always just But you are.
And I'm so happy for you.
I'm just gonna miss what we had.
I'm gonna miss it a lot.
Oh, me too.
Yeah.
Michael.
Hey.
Thanks.
Hey, partner, listen, I really appreciate the dinner invite.
Ever since Kimberly's whacko mother scalpeled Megan, I haven't had a decent meal.
Well, listen, Michael, we may have had our beefs in the past, but when tragedy strikes, I mean, tragedy greater than your normal tragedies, I'm there for you! So, how's Megan? Beats me.
Coop won't let me see her.
Really? He say why? No.
He just gave me a lot of new age mumbo jumbo.
Did they teach you in med school to treat a coma patient by holding hands with them? He's holding her hand? Yeah.
He even spent the night with her.
And the guy just sits there in ICU, brushing Megan's hair, whispering in her ear, serenading her with music.
I mean, what's next? A moonlight sponge bath? I'll be damned.
He's doing it again.
Who? Who? Doing what? Coop.
Falling in love with a coma patient.
I think he's a pervert.
I would know that, having been married to him, wouldn't I? Wait.
Wait a second.
Um, what other coma patients has he been in love with? Kimberly.
Okay, I know he was involved with Kimberly back in Cleveland Michael.
The involvement started when she was in a coma.
Talk about your twisted one-sided relationship.
Coop used to do just what you described.
And he wouldn't let anybody come and visit her, not even Kimberly's mother.
You know what? I don't think I'm gonna be able to have dinner.
Hey.
Michael.
Michael, Michael, listen to me.
Now, you and your hot temper just can't muscle the guy out of ICU.
I am not going to let some pervert make time with my wife while her lights are out.
Coop is always looking for a fight.
Don't give him one.
Okay, I'll go through official channels, all right? I'm Chief of Staff, I'll boot Coop off the case.
For what? Huh? Incompetence? Negligence? Michael, the guy is our partner.
You're right, I'll just hand my wife over to him.
Let him get off on her shallow breathing.
All I'm saying is just cool your jets for a day or two.
We'll get Coop away from Megan, but we'll do it quietly.
Through some third party.
Michael? Now, how about that glass of wine? Make it a scotch, and I'll even stay for dessert.
Hello.
Hello.
You got any idea what time it is? Well, I couldn't sleep and I thought maybe you couldn't sleep either.
Can I come in? Yeah.
This is insane, Kyle.
We had a life together, we were happy.
Don't let Eric destroy that.
The way I see it, you destroyed it.
What do I have to do to convince you that nothing happened? I don't I don't know anymore.
I never gave you any reason not to trust me.
What about finding you in Baines' bed with your clothes off? Could we forget about Eric and go on from here? I miss you.
Sex, sex, sex.
No, that's your answer to everything.
Well, you know what? That's not gonna work with me.
You can ask Taylor.
I want you to go.
Like you've never made a mistake? I mean, tell me, how many women in this building did you sleep with while you were still married to Taylor? I don't hold that over your head.
What we had, it's over.
Oh, Michael, Michael.
I need a favor.
Hey, not today.
I got a medical emergency.
It's just a small favor.
I need a date to Billy and Sam's wedding, so I was thinking maybe you could fix me up with a doctor.
Somebody cute and straight, with more than a couple of hundred bucks in their bank account.
Wait a second.
Wait a second.
Aren't you dating Craig? I've decided to play a different field.
This isn't going to impact our glove business, is it? Who cares? What about that cute new partner of yours, Brett Cooper? Oh, yeah, you'd be just his type, only you're conscious.
Oh, I got to go.
But I'll scratch your name on the men's room wall.
Didn't you get the message? Yes.
But frankly, Michael, I'm reluctant to challenge a colleague's judgment.
Besides, you're Chief of Staff.
Why don't you remove Cooper from the case? Well, it's kind of complicated.
But listen, as Chief of Neurology, I'm asking you to handle it.
Look, why don't we just give it some time? See if Megan comes out of the coma.
Irene, don't you like being Chief of Neurology? And aren't you up for review next month? Fine, Michael.
I'll have a little talk with Dr.
Cooper.
That's nice.
Hey.
Got great news.
It's kind of like the swallows coming back to San Juan Capistrano.
Oh.
What? I just got off the phone with Midline Airways.
They re-signed.
So did Lindy Toys, so did Sagebrush Beer.
No.
No, this can't be happening.
What's wrong? I mean, whatever you did to counter Baines' assault, it worked.
You know, that's just it.
I didn't do anything.
But now it's gonna look like I did.
You must have done something.
This is about Kyle, isn't it? The other night.
Am I getting warm? Come on, talk to me.
Kyle and I He broke it off.
Every couple has their ups and downs.
Look at Sam and me.
She ran back to Maryland.
Please, this isn't some stupid little lovers' quarrel.
I blew it, and now Kyle doesn't trust me.
I mean, he thinks that it doesn't matter.
I I just didn't expect the agency to rebound.
You know, I'm all talked out.
Um, close the door on your way out.
Okay.
Oh, and Billy.
If you hear any more good news, keep it to yourself.
Hi.
Hey.
Mind if I pour myself a drink? No.
No, help yourself.
There are glasses in the box over there.
I spent the morning job hunting.
I put in an application to hostess at the Pancake Palace.
Life reeks, doesn't it? Kyle, I'm sorry about everything that's happened.
I hope you don't think I've caused any of it.
No.
No, dreams die, you know.
Why blame anybody? Yeah.
Did you ever think that maybe LA just wasn't in the cards for us? Maybe it was a lousy move on a lot of levels.
We could go someplace else, though.
I mean, we could go back to Boston, open up a new restaurant.
LA is my home, for better or worse.
Come on, baby, we had some great times before.
We could have great times again.
I made a horrible mistake with Peter.
And you made one with Amanda, and maybe it's not our fault, you know.
I mean, maybe we were destined to be together.
I mean, why else would I have gotten pregnant? You know, it might've just been the universe trying to send us a message.
The universe wasn't sending us squat.
And for the record, I have no interest in getting back together with you.
Well, look, if you have residual feelings for Amanda, I don't get it.
I mean, how can you care about somebody who's destroyed your life? I'm sorry, I don't get that.
You just don't get it, do you? No, this isn't about Amanda.
This is about me and you, the two of us.
It's over, Taylor.
It's been over for a long time.
Give me some credit, I knew that.
Oh, you know what? There's something I need to talk to Kyle about.
Won't take long.
Okay, but Craig's not gonna be home for a couple of hours.
Well, then let's just forget dinner and I'll meet you in the bathtub.
Hey.
Hey.
Got a minute? Uh, I got nothing but time.
Come on in.
So, what's up? Um hmm.
I'm kind of worried about Amanda.
You know, she's really down, and I don't know what happened between you two.
No, that's right.
You don't know.
Look, it's probably none of my business, but when I went by her office to tell her that the agency had bounced back, it was kind of like somebody had died, you know? The agency is bouncing back? Yeah.
Well, all I could get out of her is that, you know, that she felt that she had blown it with you.
So, what caused the sudden turnaround? In the agency, I mean.
I don't know, actually.
But whatever Amanda did, it sure worked like a charm.
Well, thank you for the info.
Sure, no problem.
So, I'll see you at the wedding, right? Wouldn't miss it.
Take care.
So now you're siccing the Chief of Neurology on me? You got a problem with Dr.
Shulman, take it up with her.
Michael, Megan is alone in ICU right now.
There is no one with her, talking to her, giving her a reason to come back.
And if you ask me, she needs a rest from all the jabbering you've been doing.
Please tell me you're heading over there to see her.
Oh, yeah.
Always wear a tux to the hospital.
And scrubs to black tie dinners.
You're going to a dinner? Excuse me, but that does not make me a lousy husband.
I don't need any new age medical guru giving me advice on how to take care of my wife.
She'll wake up when she wakes up.
You keep telling yourself that, Michael.
A watched pot never boils, Coop.
You're quoting platitudes? Hey! Your wife could spend the rest of her life in a coma.
And you'd really like that, wouldn't you? 'Cause you really get off on women with flat line EEG's.
First Kimberly, now Megan.
How many other little coma girls have you fallen in love with? Where you getting your information? You been talking to Lexi? Hey, I'm not about to let history repeat itself.
The weirdness stops now.
Is it weird to be compassionate? About wanting to give life back to a patient? What? Dr.
Frankenstein said the same thing.
Now, Cooper, you stay away from my wife.
Heard you got your agency back.
Congratulations.
What do I say? How do I make you believe me? I believe you.
I believe you would do just about anything to save Amanda Woodward advertising.
Kyle, listen to me.
Sure.
I don't give a damn about the agency or this building or the jazz club.
None of it matters to me.
So, you just slept with Baines for the heck of it? Go ahead, take your best shot.
But you're all I care about.
I don't have anything if I don't have you.
I love you.
Doesn't that mean anything? Really? Okay, maybe I was too stubborn to say it, maybe you needed to hear it.
But I swear, I do love you.
It's been a long couple of days and I'm tired.
Good night.
I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but overhear that.
I mean, where does that woman get off peddling that hooey? "Oh, Kyle, you're all that matters to me.
I don't have anything if I don't have you.
" I mean, please, what a tramp.
You got off lucky, Taylor.
I could have so easily jumped in there and held your head underwater.
Ah, coffee.
I need some coffee.
Oh, sit down, I'll pour you a cup.
I'd rather share.
Mmm.
You know, Peter, about what you said before.
You're right, I need a job.
Or I need to find a charity, or maybe both.
Or maybe I could go to the country club with you and play some golf.
Somebody even told me about an equestrian center nearby.
I could ride every day.
I could even ship my horses out here.
What was in your toothpaste? And I never told you this, but I've always wanted to be an interior designer.
Maybe I could redecorate your condo.
Maybe I should go get that before you spend all of my money.
Hey.
Hey, Dr.
Burns.
How are you, Richie? All right.
Love the new suit.
Great.
Thanks.
Yeah, that'll be 40 even.
Oh, right.
I'm all tapped out.
Hang on a second, will you? Lexi, got any cash? Yeah, in my purse.
Great.
Hang on.
Purse.
Purse.
How much you need? 40 bucks.
Here, I'll get it for you.
What's the matter, you don't trust me? Silly, of course I do.
I'm just trying to be helpful.
There.
Thanks.
Mmm-hmm.
I'm calling security.
No, no.
Amanda, no, no, no.
I'm not here to hurt you or cause any more trouble.
I'm just, I I owe you and explanation.
And an apology.
If you want to talk, call my assistant, make an appointment.
Oh, I don't know what I was thinking.
I mean, trying to force you into bed, it was just wrong.
Stupid.
I plead temporary insanity and throw myself at your mercy.
What you did went a lot further than trying to get me into bed.
You destroyed Kyle's restaurant business, his jazz club, put all of his employees out of work.
I know! I feel terrible about it.
That's why I've changed my mind.
I signed the papers.
Your boyfriend can have his club and restaurant back, you can have the agency, free and clear, no strings attached.
You called all of my clients, didn't you? And told them to re-sign.
Well, you can't have an agency without clients.
Look, I'm going back to New York tomorrow.
I'll get you the papers before then.
All right? Good night.
And listen, I'm I'm sorry, about everything.
Hi there.
I'm sorry, I wanted to be here for you, believe that, but You know what? I bet nobody's been playing your favorite music for you, have they? What would you like to hear? I'm the only one who knows what's best for you.
Call security.
Yes, doctor.
You just couldn't stay away, huh? Michael, listen to me! She's responding.
She just squeezed my hand.
No, you listen.
You have no business being here.
Hey.
You're not my wife's doctor, you're not a friend of the family, and I want you to go.
And if you fight me on this, I'll suspend all your hospital privileges, and I don't give a ding dong what it does to our practice.
Escort Dr.
Cooper to his car.
Guard: Yes, doctor.
Right away.
You're gonna regret this, Michael.
Michael.
Megan? You really are awake.
Oh, this is great.
Awake? What's happening? Everything's so fuzzy.
Yeah, yeah.
That's normal, honey, don't worry.
You've been in a coma for a few days.
I remember hearing music and someone whispering to me and holding my hand.
Well, that was me.
I've been here with you the whole time.
Waiting for you to come back to me.
Oh, baby.
This is gonna be the best Thanksgiving ever.
Thank you, God.
Joan: Billy and I talked it over, and well, we'd both be honored if you wore my broach today.
May I see? Billy's father, my late husband gave it to me on our wedding day.
Oh, how romantic.
Oh.
Mrs.
Campbell, I hope that you don't take this the wrong way.
I just I promised my mother that I would wear her necklace.
She felt really bad about not being able to be here.
And I just I think that if I wore your broach too, it'd be too much for the gown.
I could carry it, though.
It was obviously a mistake for me to impose my taste on you.
No.
I just thought that Alison always loved this broach.
Alison.
I hadn't thought about her all day.
All week, for that matter.
I was kind of hoping I wasn't gonna have to hear her name again.
Well, it's too bad for you that your son's not marrying Alison Parker.
Sam, it's, uh it's getting late.
You should really get into your gown.
Mrs.
Campbell, I didn't mean No.
It's all right.
I know when I'm not wanted.
Sam, don't worry, you did the right thing.
Mom.
Hi, what's wrong? Ask the future Mrs.
Campbell.
Billy, don't you know it's bad luck to see me in my dress before the wedding? What did you just say to my mother? Billy, she wanted me to wear this broach.
And it was an ugly thing and Sam told her no.
So what? How could you hurt her feelings this way? Billy, why are you talking to me like Because it meant the world to her for you to wear it today.
Correction.
You care more about your mother than you do about Sam.
Are you sure you wanna spend the rest of your life with this guy? This conversation is between Samantha and me.
Please butt out.
Yeah, I think that's a really good idea, Connie.
No, Sam is my best friend and I'll defend her till the end of time.
Connie, it's really not that big of an No, if it's so important to Billy, why doesn't he wear the ugly broach? That's good.
Hey, Billy, it's, uh, show time.
The minister wants you to take your place.
Just get this thing over with, all right? I'll see you at the altar.
Oh, my God.
Billy hates me.
He's probably not even gonna be at the altar when I get there.
Sure he will.
Sam, you don't have to go through with this.
Yeah, she does.
What are you talking about? Get dressed and get married, Sam.
Now! Amanda: Oh, I'm not sitting here.
Look at it this way, Amanda.
You don't have to introduce yourself to anyone.
Excuse me.
Don't you just love weddings? Almost as much as funerals.
It's a great day for a wedding, huh? Yeah, it is.
Amanda.
Kyle! What are you doing here, Baines? Oh, same thing as you.
Guest of the bride and groom.
Unfortunately, I can't stay for the ceremony.
I'm on my way to the airport.
But, uh, I wanted to deliver this in person.
We had a bargain, and I kept my side, Amanda.
I think you'll find those papers in order.
What is he talking about? Amanda got what she wanted.
And so did I.
You know, for the record, I did sleep with her.
And it was great, and she loved every minute of it.
It's a pleasure doing business with you, Amanda.
Whatever he said, it was a lie.
Then why would he sign those papers? Oh, man.
I am such an idiot.
Driver: Hey! Now I got what I wanted.
Take Baines to the airport and you drop him off at the curb with the rest of the baggage.
What are you doing? You're ruining everything.
I'm sure you two will be very happy together.
Oh, God.
Nice guy you got there.
You guys are supposed to have the first dance.
I don't feel like dancing.
Me neither.
But what the heck.
Come on.
So, you owe my mom an apology.
Fine, I'll make sure she gets one.
Time out.
I think I need a drink.
No, come on.
I'm just getting warmed up.
Well, then I'll get one for you too.
Oh! Well, Lexi seems to be enjoying herself.
You really turned her life around, haven't you? That was my plan.
Well, I wouldn't take all the credit for her mood, Pete.
She just might be susceptible to other, uh, influences.
Mike: You're lucky you have an in with the Chief of Staff.
Otherwise, you could be having Thanksgiving dinner with nurse Amy.
I know.
I really appreciate all that you've done, I really do.
It's just that I'm not so sure about moving back into the beach house with you.
Well, I'm sure enough for both of us.
I just think it would be less complicated if I went back to Jennifer's.
Megan, when you were in a coma, I made a promise.
To see you through recovery, take care of you, and protect you for the rest of our lives.
So you can forget about moving back with my sister.
You belong with me.
Aw.
Michael, you are so dear, but But what? You're telling me I slaved over a hot stove all day for nothing? You cooked for me too? Yeah, 10-pound turkey with all the trimmings.
Nurse, I was just checking on Megan Mancini in ICU.
She's not there.
Did Dr.
Shulman move her to a private room? No, Dr.
Mancini released her.
You just missed them, doctor.
It's the duty of the maid of honor to dance with the best man.
Oh, yeah? Well, this isn't the army, and you're really not my type.
Ah.
Mrs.
Campbell, um, I wanted to tell you You better keep your eye on him.
Excuse me? You're not the first love of his life.
And you won't be the last.
Well, how about a toast? Here's to my current daughter-in-law.
May your marriage to Billy last longer than the first one.
Or, am I not allowed to mention Brooke either? Just don't you wear your high heels around the pool.
Now that you're married to Sam, I thought you should know, she's crying.
Uh Sorry.
I'll take a rain check.
Thank you.
Thanks.
I'm sorry about what I said earlier.
I didn't mean to pick a fight with you.
Your mother hates me.
Wait, she doesn't even know you.
Then why is it all she talks about are your former girlfriends and fiancée and dead wife? Honey, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry for everything.
I wanted today to be the happiest day of your life, and I yelled at you for not wearing that hideous broach.
My mother made you cry.
You're not sorry you married me, are you? No.
No.
I'm just sorry that I didn't ask you to marry me the first day we met.
'Cause I knew then, you know, even way back then that you were the one.
And that I totally loved you.
Only you.
I love you too.
I knew that.
Exactly how much champagne did you have at that wedding, huh? One glass.
No, you've hardly touched your wine, so, how come you're flying without a parachute? Well, I guess I'm just high on you.
Damn.
What did I do with those sweet potatoes? I guess I left them in the car.
Give me the keys.
Oh, right.
Listen, I can go out and get them.
No.
Candles, music.
Back in a flash.
Coop.
Kyle, what do you want? My ego cannot take any more rejection, all right? I want what you've wanted for months.
