00:00:00Midnight Blue
00:00:30Dreams spent by the memories
00:00:37Oh, let the music play
00:00:44Moon and blue
00:00:51Those treasured thoughts of you
00:00:59Gone now and forever
00:01:07Oh, please let the music play
00:01:16Midnight, midnight
00:01:23I forgave you, could save you
00:01:27Drove you from my mind
00:01:31Midnight, blue
00:01:37The tears come flowing through
00:01:43I'll never forget you
00:01:51Oh, please let the music play
00:02:01Midnight, midnight
00:02:09I forgave you, could save you
00:02:13Drove you from my mind
00:02:19Midnight, blue
00:02:25The music play
00:02:31The music play
00:02:33The music play
00:02:35The music play
00:02:37Oh, my God.
00:03:07Shit. Hey, Mike, clean that up for me, will you?
00:03:13I'll get right on that, sir.
00:03:15Lucky it wasn't a mirror, huh?
00:03:17You bring up an extra case of tequila.
00:03:19You can't have enough of that stuff.
00:03:20Uh-huh.
00:03:21He's at the door tonight.
00:03:22Lou?
00:03:23Yeah, well, tell him to cart anyone younger than his mother.
00:03:26You're already in trouble tonight.
00:03:27It took me too damn long to get that license, you know?
00:03:31You're gonna be alone at the bar till 9 tonight.
00:03:34You think you can handle it?
00:03:35As long as there's no business.
00:03:37Come on, buddy.
00:03:38Let's get that ball up.
00:03:41Hey, what's that?
00:03:43The messenger brought it about an hour ago.
00:03:45Be careful with this.
00:03:46I made it myself.
00:03:47Looks like it.
00:03:48Watch it, buddy.
00:03:49It's the joke.
00:03:51There are no jokes.
00:03:52A happy ending.
00:04:00Your own club.
00:04:02Congratulations.
00:04:03Love, Beth.
00:04:05Hey, Mike.
00:04:13Yeah?
00:04:13Remember the TV?
00:04:16I don't care how you do it, but I want it working before we open the club tonight.
00:04:20Okay?
00:04:21Sure thing.
00:04:24Sure thing.
00:04:32Nick, the movers are gonna be here any minute.
00:04:34I know.
00:04:35This is where it all began.
00:04:38Two years ago, they were all but complete strangers.
00:04:41Who would have thought that a couple of margaritas and one night of bliss on this imported rug would lead to...
00:04:48Darling, won't you be mine?
00:04:53Come on, Nick.
00:04:54We have to meet the real estate guy to give us the keys to the warehouse.
00:04:57Just a second.
00:04:58Nicholas Taylor, believed by most people to be writer of serious fiction.
00:05:04But in actuality, he's the owner of the wildly successful new nightclub, Zex House.
00:05:11Zex House?
00:05:12Mr. Taylor, I hear you have big plans for this new night spot.
00:05:16Can you tell us about them?
00:05:17Hang on.
00:05:18I'm almost finished with this chapter.
00:05:20You know how it worked better under pressure.
00:05:22Here we have it.
00:05:24From fiction to fact.
00:05:25Art versus business.
00:05:27Can he do it?
00:05:28Or will success spoil Mr. Taylor?
00:05:30Here, read this.
00:05:32Read it?
00:05:33What if I don't like it?
00:05:34You'll like this.
00:05:36It has a happy ending.
00:05:41For the past two years, they had shaped their love in the confines of these walls.
00:05:46Now he believed they could make it.
00:05:49But even if he didn't, in their hearts they would always carry the imprint of their romantic maneuvers.
00:05:55This is a happy ending.
00:05:57There's more.
00:05:58There's more.
00:05:58There's more.
00:06:02No there isn't.
00:06:03Yeah.
00:06:05He looks into her eyes.
00:06:08With a sincerity he hasn't felt since he was 15.
00:06:11And in love for the first time.

00:07:59Maybe we shouldn't be doing this.
00:08:01We paid a lot of money for this place. I'm going in.
00:08:14I'll meet you at the front door.
00:08:29What time did you get home?
00:08:39I don't know. Maybe an hour ago.
00:08:42Well, how'd it go? Did you get the money?
00:08:46Not exactly.
00:08:48What happened?
00:08:49He didn't want to do it.
00:08:51Did you explain it to him? How much money he could make?
00:08:54Yeah, I told him. He's not interested.
00:08:57I see. And that's that?
00:09:01That's that.
00:09:02Nick, what is it with you?
00:09:04Once again, your husband fucked up.
00:09:06Oh, spare me the self-pity.
00:09:07What do we give Eddie when he comes over tonight? Milk and cookies?
00:09:10It's a long drive. I'm sure he'll be hungry.
00:09:12Do you have to turn everything into a joke?
00:09:15First, I'm self-pitying. Now I make too many jokes.
00:09:18Nick, I'm trying. I really am.
00:09:20Do you want to work this out or what?
00:09:22I don't know.
00:09:23You don't know.
00:09:24All right, maybe I don't.
00:09:26It's all right. Just a bad dream.
00:09:35I had too much to drink.
00:09:40What time did you get home?
00:09:55One, maybe two.
00:09:57You want to talk about it?
00:09:59Good morning.
00:10:01Good morning.
00:10:04Why don't you get ready for bed?
00:10:21Beth?
00:10:31I was like, oh, come on.
00:10:32Yes.
00:10:34What time did you get?
00:10:35You should go.
00:10:36I never asked.
00:10:37I was never shown.
00:10:38I'm going to have a beer.
00:10:40Something you want to buy.
00:10:41That's what I was looking for.
00:10:42I didn't come for a beer.
00:10:43I didn't find the beer.
00:10:44I got it.
00:10:45I was waiting for wine.
00:10:46That's exactly what I saw.
00:10:47The depository of the city.
00:10:49I was worried.
00:10:50What's it going for?
00:10:51I didn't get home?
00:10:52Have a beer.
00:10:53Hey, we'll have a beer.
00:10:54Oh, are you still drinking that piss?
00:11:18As you know, Nick, I'm really a very, very patriotic guy.
00:11:22But even I got to admit, the only good thing about American beer is the twist-off.
00:11:30Eddie, you scared the shit out of me.
00:11:33Hey, you like these?
00:11:35They see you.
00:11:36Fuck that.
00:11:37Last time I was here, I couldn't see a damn thing.
00:11:40Just about fell out of your fucking loft up there.
00:11:42Almost broke my fucking neck, just about.
00:11:43Put the railing up.
00:11:45Good for you.
00:11:46Hey, Peter!
00:11:48Lawsuit like that sure could spoil a club opening.
00:11:52Hey, you see, with Peter here, you get European taste and American conveniences.
00:12:00You know, when I was out of town, I had the weirdest feeling.
00:12:10You know how it is, Nick.
00:12:11Instincts.
00:12:12Some people got bones.
00:12:14It rains, they get the ache, and they can't sleep.
00:12:17My bones tell me my money's not in good hands.
00:12:20Tell me it's all a bad, bad dream, Nick.
00:12:23Tell me you have my money, Nick.
00:12:24I don't have it.
00:12:27You don't have it.
00:12:29I don't have it.
00:12:30That's what I thought you said.
00:12:32Fuck!
00:12:34Fuck!
00:12:34But I got sentimental over the old man.
00:12:36I knew it.
00:12:37He's the one who goes on and on about owning property.
00:12:39He never did.
00:12:40But for him, it was the only thing worth putting money into.
00:12:44Because it's the only thing that's real, he'd say.
00:12:47You can touch it, you can walk on it, you can grow on it, build on it, and you can get buried in it.
00:12:57You know why they call it real estate?
00:13:00Because it's real.
00:13:04Fucking real.
00:13:06Starting a nightclub in an old factory probably wasn't my old man's idea of real estate.
00:13:12But he's still the only reason I was willing to get into a deal with a putz like you.
00:13:18Don't tell me how it's all going to work out and what a great concept it is.
00:13:23Get real, Nick.
00:13:25Where is my 200 grand?
00:13:28It's kind of hard to explain.
00:13:31Peter, don't just stand there.
00:13:32Help the man.
00:13:33Hold on, Eddie.
00:13:34Give me...
00:13:34Look, I know we had a deal.
00:13:38All right?
00:13:39I know you wanted to have your money tonight.
00:13:41It's just been a small delay.
00:13:42That's all.
00:13:43What, it's Columbus Day?
00:13:44You can't get to a bank?
00:13:45There's been an accident.
00:13:46Someone hurt?
00:13:47An industrial accident.
00:13:48Somebody get squashed?
00:13:50Hold on, Peter.
00:13:52I want to hear this.
00:13:53You're telling me you spent my 200 grand to clean the place?
00:13:56Look, that old furnace over there is insulated with asbestos.
00:13:59Behind the building, the city inspectors found two storage tanks lined with pesticide reservoirs.
00:14:04We need experts in here.
00:14:06I'm an expert, Nick.
00:14:07Levin, what else?
00:14:09Well, the city is so paranoid about this place, they wouldn't let me change a light bulb without their permission.
00:14:14So, you can't have the club, so I should be able to get my money back.
00:14:17It's tied up in the leasing.
00:14:19Well, get a refund!
00:14:20I'm trying to, but that's the delay.
00:14:23The leasing company says we took the plant at our own risk and expense.
00:14:28Plain dumb.
00:14:30Are they dumb?
00:14:32Or are they right?
00:14:33Was I supposed to know we'd have a mini-boat ball on your hands?
00:14:36Hey, Greenpeace is on my list of charities, so don't get environmental on me.
00:14:42Who's right?
00:14:44At this point, nobody.
00:14:46Fuck!
00:14:48Fuck you, Nick!
00:14:49Come on, Annie, you're not the only one who's got money tied up in this place.
00:14:53Everybody's busting my ass!
00:14:55You're asking me for simple deed.
00:14:57I can't reach that deed.
00:14:59If I pulled up what's down there now...
00:15:03Out.
00:15:04Very out.
00:15:06Ask Peter here.
00:15:07He's seen it.
00:15:09Deborah's negotiating with him right now.
00:15:12Not to get all the money back.
00:15:14At least to cover your expenses.
00:15:17I'm sorry, what could I do?
00:15:18All I know is that I tried to be a good neighbor.
00:15:21Come on, you saw a good deal here, and you couldn't resist.
00:15:24A short-term loan, interest-free.
00:15:26That was the arrangement.
00:15:27A short soak and a quick rinse to launder some of your money.
00:15:31Okay.
00:15:33So we don't have to kid ourselves where my money comes from.
00:15:37You gave it to some lease-creep company, fuckhead!
00:15:41I'm only asking for 24 hours.
00:15:45Deborah's gonna take care of it.
00:15:47I need you another beer.
00:15:52It's your whole fucking generation.
00:15:56People are stealing from us.
00:15:57What is he trying to steal from me?
00:15:58You're stealing from me right now!
00:16:02What gripes my ass is that you people have so much more.
00:16:05And we made it so fucking easy for you because for so long, we didn't give a shit about money.
00:16:11All you need is love.
00:16:13How fucking naive.
00:16:17You guys never even bother with mottos.
00:16:21Bullshit slogans.
00:16:23Make love, not war.
00:16:27Gotta hand it to you.
00:16:30No.
00:16:32That's just it.
00:16:33I don't have to hand it to you.
00:16:35Some of what you have is mine.
00:16:37I don't see why you're getting so upset.
00:16:38Upset?
00:16:40I'm not upset.
00:16:42I'm way past upset.
00:16:44I'm fucking bullshit!
00:16:48I gotta make room for this.
00:16:51The can!
00:16:51So what do you think, Peter?
00:16:56Should we make him clean the fucking thing himself?
00:16:58It's illegal.
00:17:00Shit.
00:17:01What is it?
00:17:03The biggest crooks are the ones that write the laws that make things illegal.
00:17:07For everyone else.
00:17:08Nick, crime pays.
00:17:10Whoa, whoa.
00:17:10Leaving town?
00:17:15Death has an assignment in Europe.
00:17:19New York.
00:17:21Paris.
00:17:22Berlin.
00:17:24Bohemian Triangle.
00:17:26That's quite a trip.
00:17:28Shit, man.
00:17:29We'll miss you.
00:17:32You'll get your money.
00:17:33You'll get your tickets when I get my money.
00:17:38Think about that, Nick.
00:17:40Eddie!
00:17:41Eddie!
00:17:42Eddie!
00:17:44Eddie!
00:17:45Eddie!
00:17:46You have the key to that.
00:17:47You have the combo to this, right?
00:17:48The combo to this?
00:17:49I don't have the combo to this.
00:17:51I thought you did have the combo to this, Peter.
00:18:04You're an investor, Edward.
00:18:06Edward?
00:18:07My old man used to call me that whenever I fucked up.
00:18:10And I didn't fuck up here.
00:18:11Not this time.
00:18:13He's fucking up.
00:18:15Your hubby.
00:18:16As an investor, you have a right to your money.
00:18:19You do not have the right to be an asshole in somebody else's place.
00:18:25Soft shell.
00:18:27Hardcore.
00:18:27He's just kidding around.
00:18:29I suggest you leave, Edward.
00:18:32The next time I see you, you'll have your money.
00:18:36And that's the last time I'll lay eyes on you.
00:18:44That money I so generously invested in your club concept.
00:18:49That money likes to move.
00:18:52I had plans for that, though.
00:18:54Plans you're fucking up.
00:18:5824 hours.
00:19:02Okay.
00:19:07Major inconvenience.
00:19:09I'll let it go.
00:19:11Two, four.
00:19:13Otherwise, there's going to be another industrial accident.
00:19:17Peter, what is it I always tell you about long shots?
00:19:21All right.
00:19:22If you're going to bet a long shot,
00:19:26make sure you break the other horse's legs.
00:19:29They've left.
00:19:45They've left.
00:19:59Yep.
00:20:00You shouldn't want to push you around.
00:20:03Tell him you said so.
00:20:04Tell me that you like it.
00:20:19Of course I like it.
00:20:21I love you.
00:20:23Would you like it if you didn't love me?
00:20:26Would you want me to?
00:20:27Yeah, why not?
00:20:30You're in an odd mood tonight.
00:20:34Some women don't take sex seriously, I guess.
00:20:38Maybe you take it too seriously.
00:20:41You're my husband.
00:20:43I love you.
00:20:44I don't want you to love me.
00:20:47What do you want?
00:20:50I want you to fuck me.
00:20:53Fuck you.
00:20:54I'm sorry.
00:20:58I am sorry.
00:20:59Don't you get tired of saying you're sorry all the time?
00:21:03This whole club deal, it's got me all keyed up.
00:21:07I'll make it up to you as soon as it's over.
00:21:09I mean, we're practically on our way to Europe,
00:21:11and it's just going to be you and me,
00:21:13and I can finish my book.
00:21:15It will be finished before that book is.
00:21:17Why do you have to make such a big deal of everything?
00:21:19You know, I put up with a lot of shit from you
00:21:21since this whole club thing.
00:21:22I am tired of living in this factory.
00:21:25This place gives me the creeps.
00:21:26It's too big.
00:21:27And on top of all of this, you're being a shithead.
00:21:30We're in this together, remember?
00:21:33Instead of confiding in me, it becomes a matter of survival.
00:21:35Every man for himself.
00:21:37My money got you started six months ago.
00:21:39It was my $50,000.
00:21:40They got you $100,000.
00:21:41She got you a quarter of a million.
00:21:42Beth, I know this scheme.
00:21:43It was my idea, remember?
00:21:44It was my money.
00:21:45It was your dad's money.
00:21:46He left it to me.
00:21:48It's your own fault for giving it to me.
00:21:49You didn't have to do that.
00:21:50Nick, that's not the point.
00:21:52I did it because I thought it'd be a good investment.
00:21:55Okay, this whole deal could blow up in our faces,
00:21:57but it's only money.
00:21:59They could be other clubs.
00:22:01It's our marriage I'm worried about.
00:22:04There can also be other marriages.
00:22:15Hello?
00:22:16Yeah.
00:22:18Yeah.
00:22:19Debbie, hi.
00:22:21He's right here.
00:22:23Your lawyer.
00:22:24My lawyer.
00:22:25Your sister.
00:22:29Debra?
00:22:30Something happened.
00:22:31It's the lease.
00:22:32They're giving me the runaround.
00:22:33Well, when will you know for sure?
00:22:35Eddie was over here earlier, and he was pretty pissed.
00:22:37He gave me 24 hours.
00:22:38Our final meeting is in the morning.
00:22:40If everything goes as planned...
00:22:41God, I hope so.
00:22:42Well, I can't take much more of this.
00:22:44I'm trying, Nick.
00:22:45I just wanted to open my own club, and I didn't want all this business shit.
00:22:49Look, we'll talk about it tomorrow.
00:22:51Okay.
00:22:52See you then.
00:22:53What did she say?
00:22:55Come on, Beth.
00:22:56Let's have a fight.

00:27:27That's a pact.

00:27:56We don't have it.
00:27:56We split.
