00:05People don't talk about money in the suburbs.
00:10Mostly because they don't need to.
00:13The ones who have it let you know with their brand new clothes,
00:19their expensive appliances,
00:22and their manicured lawns.
00:26The ones who don't have it let you know with barbecues that need replacing,
00:32walls that need painting,
00:35and classic cars that need to be sold.
00:39Here you go, Walter. She's all yours.
00:42This is so awesome. Where's Tom?
00:44I want to thank him for making this the greatest day of my life.
00:46He's inside, but Dwayne sobs he wished you happy driving.
00:55Where is that man going with Tom's car?
00:57Oh, that man is Walter Brodsky, and he just bought it.
01:00Tom loves that car. Why would you sell it?
01:02Sadly, we can no longer afford Tom's midlife crisis.
01:06Okay, here's the deal. We're sort of broke.
01:10Oh, Lynette.
01:12Between Porter's legal fees and that ghost town that we call a restaurant...
01:16I thought Scott was doing well.
01:18When times get tough, people do without things like pizza and sports cars.
01:22I am so sorry. I had no idea.
01:24It's okay. Just keep it under your hat. It's a little embarrassing.
01:27You should not be embarrassed. This is a horrible economy.
01:30We're all in the same boat.
01:36Hello, ladies. What do you think?
01:39You bought a new car?
01:41My book just made the Times bestseller list.
01:43Now they're talking three book deals, so I got the urge to squirt.
01:48Oh, and look what just blew on my windshield at the stop sign.
01:53Ah, life is good.
01:56Yes, people don't talk about money in the suburbs.
02:00Because when they do, other people get angry.
02:10Whenever someone on Wisteria Lane buys a new car, a simple ritual is performed.
02:17So, how do you like my new car?
02:19It's gorgeous.
02:21I'm so jealous.
02:22I wish I had one.
02:24But on this day, one of the owner's friends refused to participate in the ritual.
02:29And even more surprisingly, the owner of the car in question didn't seem to notice.
02:36Look, there's even a refrigerator.
02:38The Lexus dealer said there's just enough room for a split of champagne and two chilled glasses.
02:46And the best thing is, it's a hybrid, so you can barely hear it.
02:50Let me show you.
02:51Actually, I have to go to work.
02:53But congratulations, Brie, it's a beauty.
03:01Was it just me, or was that a little abrupt?
03:04Don't take it personally.
03:05I think she's got other things on her mind.
03:07Oh dear, is something wrong?
03:11Well, apparently.
03:13She and Tom are having financial problems.
03:14They just had to sell Tom's car.
03:17And you know, I saw her at the recycling center.
03:19She was turning our cans in for money.
03:22Yikes.
03:23That's like a half a step away from selling your eggs on the internet.
03:26And here I am, rubbing my fabulous new car in her face.
03:30I feel awful.
03:31You don't.
03:32How could you have known?
03:33Thank God I didn't show her how the car parks itself.
03:38But you're gonna show us, right?
03:42Well, it is pretty amazing.
03:50Well, it's nice to see you again, Mrs. Meyer.
03:52Thank you for agreeing to see us, Mr. Hobson.
03:55Running a school like Oak Ridge
03:57mustn't leave you with much...
04:00free time.
04:03Happy to oblige.
04:05So, I heard through the grapevine that there might be an opening for another student.
04:11I assume you're referring to the Henderson boys' expulsion?
04:14Yeah.
04:15He bit his teacher, huh?
04:17They had that problem with their older boy, Toby.
04:21It's a family of biters.
04:26Well, the whole situation was incredibly unfortunate, but...
04:29we can't tolerate that kind of behavior.
04:33Well, you wouldn't have to worry about that with MJ.
04:37He's so well-behaved.
04:39Look, I know how much you want your son at Oak Ridge.
04:42You've called us every week for the past five months.
04:45I've been too pushy.
04:46Oh, please don't take it out on MJ. He is such a bright kid.
04:49Say something in Spanish.
04:51I'm bored.
04:52Be bored in Spanish.
04:54Mrs. Meyer, you can relax.
04:57We would love to have MJ join us here.
05:00Seriously?
05:01Yes. As a matter of fact, his name was first on our waiting list.
05:05Fantastic!
05:07Here's a schedule for you.
05:09Here's some insurance forms you need to fill out.
05:12And here's the tuition.
05:13As you can see, it's gone up a tad.
05:17Yeah, it's quite a tad.
05:20But we're starting in the middle of the year, so we only pay half, right?
05:23Yes, we've already prorated it. That is half.
05:31Fantastic!
05:38Hey!
05:40I just thought of a way for us to celebrate our anniversary next week.
05:44What do you think about dinner at the Palm?
05:46The Palm?
05:47As in, they don't even show the prices on the menu at the Palm?
05:52Honey, we're still paying off credit card debt.
05:54Not anymore.
05:56The deal closed. I got the bonus.
05:58Oh, my God! That's great!
06:01Oh, why didn't you tell me this when you were begging for sex this morning?
06:04You would have closed that deal, too.
06:06Oh, we're rich again! Hallelujah!
06:09Well, we are not lighting cigars with $5 bills rich, but we are headed in the right direction.
06:14Oh, honey. We're gonna be us again. The old Carlos and Gabby.
06:19You know what? I'm gonna wear my dress from the night you proposed.
06:22You still fit in that?
06:26We're rich again! Hallelujah!
06:28Have you not noticed me working my butt off?
06:31I'm almost back to the weight I was when we got married!
06:35All I meant was, you don't have to wear an old dress.
06:38I will buy you a new one.
06:40No, no. This will be way more romantic.
06:43I'm one good colonic away from being the old me.
06:48I'll call the restaurant. They can write that on the cake.
06:58Sorry, I know how much you love that car.
07:01This is all I have to remember about it.
07:06I called her Foxy. You wanna know why?
07:09No.
07:11I just heard. You sold the car?
07:13Yeah.
07:14Well, we needed the money. The restaurant is dying.
07:18Apparently people don't want to buy their pizza from parents of an alleged arsonist.
07:21Yeah, but Porter didn't do it.
07:24Well, maybe people still think that he's guilty, or maybe it's the economy, or maybe it's both. I don't know.
07:31All I know is I am driving a dad car while some other guy is out rolling with Foxy.
07:37Oh, buddy, I'm so sorry.
07:43I wish there was something I could do.
07:45We should get going.
07:47But if we can help in any way, let us know, okay?
07:51Thanks, Ron.
07:58Okay, what just happened back there?
08:01Nothing.
08:03Oh, yeah, wait, that's gonna work.
08:04Why can't you ever remember who you're dealing with?
08:07Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, I can keep this up all day.
08:10Bob, fine.
08:12The day the case against Porter was dismissed, I was going over the discovery materials that the DA sent me.
08:17Okay. So?
08:18The witness who put Porter in the storage room at the club.
08:21The only one linking him directly to the arson?
08:24Tom's helpful buddy there, Dave Williams.
08:27What?
08:27Yeah.
08:29Porter wasn't even in the building.
08:31What the hell is Dave doing?
08:33I don't know, but we have to tell Tom and Lynette.
08:34No, it'll just get ugly.
08:36I'm okay with that.
08:37Lee, the charges have been dropped.
08:39It is no longer our business.
08:42Besides, there's something about that Dave guy that scares me.
08:57Oh, I don't get it.
09:00I'm only a few pounds away from my runway weight.
09:02You want me to let it out?
09:04That would be cheating.
09:05I'm gonna try to go pee again.
09:07It's okay.
09:08You've had two children.
09:10The weight redistributes.
09:11Give in to it.
09:12I did.
09:13Gene, you didn't just give in to it.
09:15You slapped a piece of cheese on it.
09:17Yeah, I said it.
09:18Now just fix the hem.
09:19And this time, try not to leave the edges frayed.
09:28Hey, Edie, wait up!
09:33Now don't forget the clasp is broken.
09:35Oh, I'll replace it.
09:36It may not match exactly, but your hair will cover it.
09:39Jean, Carlos is taking me to the Palm.
09:42Not out for hoagies.
09:44Make it perfect.
09:46Ah, I see Jean is back.
09:48Yeah, times are good.
09:49Not for her.
09:52Hey, Miss McCloskey said something about you losing five pounds in one day.
09:55How'd you do that?
09:56I got drunk on bourbon and threw up all over her lawn.
09:58No, not that story.
10:00Something about a boot camp.
10:01Oh, yeah.
10:02Just started.
10:03Very military.
10:04Very intense.
10:05That's perfect.
10:06I'm trying to fit into an old dress.
10:07I need intense.
10:08Forget it.
10:09You can't get in without a recommendation.
10:11And I'm not recommending you.
10:13Why not?
10:14Because.
10:14You'd embarrass me.
10:15This is real exercise.
10:16It's not the lotus position followed by a mocha latte.
10:20Oh, you're just afraid I'm going to look better than you.
10:256 a.m.
10:26The park.
10:27Prepare to die.
10:30Jeez, this is the tuition?
10:32We're going to blow his college fund on first grade.
10:34I know, I know.
10:36We may have to give up a few luxuries.
10:38Yeah, like food and heat.
10:40Okay, you know the problems they're having at his school.
10:42And now with all the budget cutbacks, this place is fabulous.
10:45I'm not saying it's not.
10:46I'd kill to send him there.
10:47I just can't swing it.
10:49Well, we've got to do something.
10:52My editor just quit and my books are not exactly flying off the shelves.
10:56Could you pick up some extra shifts?
10:58Oh, yeah, I will.
11:00As soon as they create a 30-hour day.
11:02I'm working around the clock.
11:04What about that big job you just did for the last three months?
11:07What did you do with that money?
11:09Susan, we're not married anymore.
11:11What I do with my money?
11:12None of your business.
11:14Yeah, well, if we were still married, you'd...
11:17Probably would have waited until I finished my sentence.
11:23What's this?
11:24A check.
11:24I understand you and Tom are going through some rough times.
11:28No.
11:31Thank you, but I can't accept this.
11:35However, I would like to know how much I'm not accepting.
11:40$20,000?
11:42How many cookbooks are you selling, woman?
11:44We just went to a second printing and now they're talking a three-book deal.
11:47So seriously, I am not going to miss that money.
11:49Wow.
11:50That must be nice.
11:52But...
11:53I can't accept it.
11:56Why not?
11:57What's the point of success if you can't share it with the people you love?
12:00Because the people that you love may not be able to pay you back and then you stop loving them.
12:04Then it's not a loan, it's a gift.
12:07Don't you have a birthday coming up?
12:10Then so do you.
12:12And I'm going to feel real crappy when you unwrap your lavender bath beads.
12:16Come on, Lynette. You can't tell me this money won't take the pressure off.
12:20It would.
12:23But I can't.
12:24I wouldn't want it to affect our friendship.
12:28Okay.
12:29Although...
12:31How would you like to own a piece of an Italian restaurant?
12:34What?
12:35It wouldn't be a loan or a gift.
12:37It would be an investment that would buy you, say, 15% of Scavo's.
12:44Oh!
12:44Well, that's an intriguing offer.
12:45If we do well, you get a cut of the profits. If we go belly up, we liquidate and you
12:50get the first 20,000.
12:52And then, of course, my family moves in with you.
12:57So, do we have a deal?
12:58We most certainly do.
13:01Partner.
13:04Some people think it's strange I have a contract for my exercise class.
13:08But I want people to understand the commitment I expect from them.
13:10I found in the past...
13:11There you go. All signed.
13:14You didn't even read it?
13:16Oh, no need. I'm up for anything.
13:18Although I did just get a manicure, so nothing that might chip and nail.
13:22Mrs. Solis, let me tell you what I learned in the Israeli army.
13:26A group without commitment is a group that will fail.
13:29The women in my morning class are committed.
13:32I am starting to think that you are not tough enough.
13:36Not tough enough?
13:38Let me tell you something, Mr. Iraqi army guy.
13:41Israeli.
13:41Whatever. I used to be a model.
13:43And you don't know what war is until you've been in a dressing room with a bunch of size zeros
13:47reaching for the last rice cake.
13:48I am plenty tough.
13:50I'm not so sure.
13:51Hey, I know some of those women in your exercise class.
13:53The most exercise they ever get is cutting a piece of cake.
13:55That's a lap.
13:57Excuse me?
13:58In the contract, there are certain words I do not tolerate.
14:02Cake.
14:03Tired.
14:04Cant.
14:05Donut.
14:06If I hear them, you owe me a lap.
14:10It's an exercise class. Why would anyone say donut?
14:12That's another lap!
14:15You know, maybe I should give this a little gander.
14:24Come on, ladies.
14:25When I was in the Special Forces, we would do sit-ups in 115 degree weather.
14:30I still have sand in my ass.
14:32You people are weak.
14:33Let's go! Let's go!
14:38Gabby, knock it off! You're gonna get us all in trouble!
14:41It's hard!
14:42Of course it is!
14:44That's why it's called boot camp.
14:45Just hang in there, Gabby. We all went through it.
14:48Shut up, Mona. I'm puking air.
14:52He's coming. Get crunching.
14:56Hey! Did I hear talking?
14:58Sorry, sir. She got a little nauseous.
15:02I don't give a rat's ass what your problem is.
15:04You wretch on your own time!
15:06Okay.
15:07We need to talk!
15:08Gabby, no!
15:10What the hell are you doing?
15:11Get your butt back down!
15:12Yeah, yeah, yeah. Time out.
15:14Time out?
15:15Look, I appreciate this whole military commando act.
15:17But I'm new at this, and frankly, this is a bit much.
15:20A bit much?
15:21Yeah.
15:22Are we gonna get a break soon?
15:24Oh, and we want a break.
15:27Like maybe some coffee.
15:29Some pastries.
15:30Oh, that sounds so yummy.
15:32You got any?
15:33No, I don't got any!
15:34Now get down or I'm gonna put you down!
15:36I said time out!
15:37There is no time out!
15:38You signed a contract!
15:39Now get down!
15:40Don't take that tone with me!
15:42I am paying!
15:42Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!
15:46Who brought that here?
15:48That would be me!
15:50Sorry, sir!
15:52Because of Edie, our two-mile run is now four miles!
16:07Oh, my God! Look at those! Wow!
16:10Hey! What's going on?
16:11Oh, Susan, you gotta check these out.
16:14Oh, please don't make a fuss.
16:15They're magnificent!
16:16Susan, look at them!
16:18Uh, what am I looking at exactly?
16:19The pearls.
16:21Oh, those!
16:23Oh, they're stunning. Thank you.
16:26Well, I have a big bar mitzvah to prep.
16:29See ya.
16:32She's so lucky. Mike is such a great guy.
16:35What? Mike bought those? He bought her pearls?
16:38He's a keeper.
16:41Oh, that's right. You didn't keep him, did you?
16:46Suit.
16:52Hi!
16:52Lynette, hi! Oh, I wish I had time for a chat, but I'm on my way to a meeting.
16:55I might design my own line of bakeware. Can you imagine?
16:58This'll just take a sec.
17:00Okay.
17:00Tom and I are so grateful for your investment that we want to do something special for you.
17:04Oh, that sounds lovely.
17:06We'd like to shut Scavo's down for the night and throw a party in your honor.
17:09Just family and friends, we'd toast your success and have a night of fun, just like old times.
17:14What do you say?
17:14Well, that sounds nice. Can we walk and talk?
17:16Yeah, yeah.
17:17You know what might be even better?
17:18My publisher has been begging me to do a local launch for my book.
17:22I could do a signing at your restaurant and finally fill the place.
17:26Would you hold that for a moment?
17:27Oh.
17:28Well, we've filled the place many times, but it's your party. Whatever you want.
17:32Oh, you can just put that on a hanger in the back.
17:34What I want is to make this an opportunity for you.
17:37We could turn one of your dismal Thursday night seatings into a real event.
17:43I don't know what to say.
17:44Don't thank me. It was your idea.
17:47Right.
17:53Bad I thought of it.
17:57Susan Meyer knew she couldn't always give her son everything she would have liked.
18:05But when she saw her child's tuition around Catherine Mayfair's neck, she felt something had been stolen from him.
18:14And it didn't take her long to decide how she was going to get it back.
18:26Susan, hi.
18:27Hi.
18:28You home?
18:29Uh, yeah. I'm just about to jump in the shower. What's up?
18:31I'm going crazy because I think I left my front door unlocked. Could you run and check? I'll stay on
18:36the line.
18:39I don't know. I totally understand.
18:42One day I don't lock up. I always think that's the day something's going to break in.
18:47Exactly.
18:52And so even though I was already halfway to the airport, I turned around and I came home and yep,
18:58I had left the garbage disposal on.
19:00So ever since then I always check.
19:03Oh, on the same way. Anyway, you can relax. Front door's all locked up.
19:06Oh, you know what? I'm actually still worried about the side door. Do you think you could check that too?
19:11Already did. You're good.
19:13Well, I'm going to take that shower now. See you later, hon.
19:49Hi, is that you?
19:57You're just in time.
20:00Susan?
20:01Hi.
20:04Hey!
20:10Susan Meyer! For God's sake! Give me back my pearls!
20:17Pearls or towel? You decide.
20:19You wouldn't dare.
20:20I have been naked on this street. It would be nice to take the heat off that story.
20:24Have you lost your mind?
20:25Mike said he can't afford to pay for MJ's private school. Now I know why.
20:29He wants to see his girlfriend wearing pearls when she flashes him.
20:33What? He wouldn't pay for MJ's school?
20:36No. So I was going to take these and sell them to try to pay for it.
20:40And yes, now that I'm saying it out loud, I hear how stupid that sounds.
20:43I can't believe Mike would do that.
20:45Well, he'd do that.
20:49Hey, Mrs. Mayfair. It's nice to see you.
20:57Perhaps we should discuss this later.
21:15This can't be good.
21:20So is this a welcome home, we missed you kind of thing, or...
21:25Oh.
21:27Damn right, O.
21:28What happened to I'm broke and can't afford to send MJ to private school?
21:32Don't get me wrong, Mike. It was a wonderfully generous present.
21:35But you can't go around blowing your kids' money on jewelry for your girlfriend.
21:40What did these cost you? Four thousand? Five thousand dollars?
21:43A hundred and twenty-nine.
21:47What?
21:47They're fake, okay?
21:49And I knew how badly you wanted pearls. I couldn't afford real ones.
21:53And the salesman swore you'd never know the difference.
21:55And she didn't.
21:59Well, at least you won't feel bad if you ever lose them.
22:07I just wanted to get you a really nice gift, and I don't know, I...
22:11I guess I was embarrassed when I couldn't.
22:13Mike, don't ever feel like you have to spend money to impress me.
22:18Okay?
22:19Trust me.
22:21I'm already very impressed.
22:29Okay, okay, point made.
22:32Move along.
22:34I'll go fix us some dinner.
22:38How dare you?
22:40I didn't know they were fake.
22:42I mean, how dare you think that I would put jewelry for my girlfriend ahead of my son's education.
22:47Okay, maybe I jumped to conclusions, but...
22:50this school is important for MJ.
22:53I feel really bad that we're falling short.
22:56Susan, I've been at work since six o'clock this morning.
22:58And after I inhale a five-minute dinner, I'm going back out till midnight.
23:01I'm busting my ass to give our son the best, so if we're falling short, it's not because of me.
23:21What?
23:23Where are you?
23:23You're late for training.
23:25Oh, yeah, I quit that.
23:28There is no quitting.
23:29It's in the contract.
23:30Yeah, well, maybe you should take it up with my lawyer.
23:33Here he is.
23:40We're not leaving.
23:45Come on, ladies. Keep going. Keep it moving.
23:51What the hell do you think you're doing?
23:53When you don't come to boot camp, boot camp comes to you. Fall in.
23:56Are you out of your mind? I have two sleeping children.
23:59Oh, I know. I've seen the cellulite.
24:01Fall in.
24:02Do it, Gabby. There is no quitting.
24:04Don't get all holier than thou, Mona.
24:06I saw you pull into the donut shack yesterday.
24:09Donut! That's a lot!
24:10Oh, really? Well, try this on for size.
24:13I'm going back to bed because I'm tired.
24:16And when I wake up, maybe I'll have some cake and you can't stop me.
24:28Gabby, where are you going?
24:31If you don't get out there, he's going to take it out on the rest of us.
24:33Well, frankly, some of them need it.
24:35I just came for a little remodel, and there are some real teardowns out there.
24:38Wow. You are one spoiled, selfish little brat.
24:42Oh, for God's sakes, Edie. It's a stupid exercise class.
24:45I tried it. It sucked. I don't want to do it anymore. Lighten up.
24:48Well, that stupid little exercise class is filled with women who bust their asses three times a week,
24:54while raising kids and holding down full-time jobs.
24:56Well, they're crazy.
24:57He yells and they jump. He tells them to run all the way over here and they do it.
25:01He didn't make us come here. We agreed to.
25:06What the hell for?
25:07Because you told us that it was important to you to get into that dress.
25:11So we came here to support you.
25:17You wanted the old Gabby back? Well, congratulations, you got her.
25:21A self-centered, obnoxious jerk.
25:25Personally, I liked poor, paunchy Gabby better.
25:29At least she had some humility.
25:53Okay, time to stretch. Not you! You are 25 minutes late. Give me 50.
26:15Oh my god, your purr!
26:17Well, technically I'm she.
26:19But yes, your turkey tetrazzini saved my marriage.
26:23Would you sign this for me?
26:25Certainly.
26:26I am so excited to be tasting your food tonight.
26:29My food? What are you talking about?
26:31Oh, well it says here the chefs of Skavos are going to be making recipes from your book.
26:35They are?
26:37I can't wait to try that four cheese pizza.
26:40Well, you might have to.
26:42Excuse me.
26:44Look at that.
26:45I understand you and your fellow chefs will be serving my four cheese pizza tonight.
26:49Yep. Just adding the Parmesan.
26:54But that's commercial Parmesan.
26:56So?
26:57So that's like the dust they sweep off the floor of a place that makes real cheese.
27:01Oh no, it's fine. We use it all the time.
27:03Perhaps you do, but my recipe specifies fresh grated.
27:07Brie, no one will notice.
27:09Parmesan is the fourth cheese in a four cheese pizza.
27:11It's the Ringo of these cheeses.
27:13Hey, Mr. Skavos said the grease trap is overflowing again.
27:17Oh, for Pete's sake. I'll be right back.
27:19Take your time.
27:23I'm sorry, we haven't been introduced. I'm Brie Hodge, part owner.
27:27Hi, I'm Cindy.
27:28We'll chat later.
27:29Roll out some dough and show me where the basil is.
27:32We'll be serving three cheese pizza tonight.
27:35But what about the pizzas that we just made?
27:50Tom, I can't tell you how happy I am for you.
27:52This place is packed.
27:53It's packed!
27:54Yep, you know what? Brie really came through for us.
27:56Wait, wait, wait. Even if she hadn't, you would have landed on your feet.
27:58I had total faith in you.
28:00And you have had three scotch and sodas.
28:02Dude, this money goes right in your pocket.
28:04Oh, I'm just supporting you.
28:07Hey, I gotta go check on that grease trap.
28:08Yeah, I gotta get back to Edith. She wanted me home by 10.
28:10But dude, congratulations.
28:13I'm proud of you.
28:14See ya.
28:16Hey, Tom?
28:17Yeah?
28:19Nothing. Never mind, you're busy.
28:21You know, wait.
28:23I just want you to know that that guy's not your friend.
28:27Who, Dave?
28:29Is there someplace we can talk?
28:31Yeah.
28:41Son of a...
28:46If this doesn't stop your mother-in-law from criticizing your cooking, I will give you a full refund.
28:51Hey, can I borrow you a sec?
28:52Now? People are waiting.
28:54You'll still be a celebrity in five minutes. Come on.
28:56Here.
29:05You wanna explain this?
29:07Oh dear, I was hoping to spare your feelings, but since you know, I wasn't comfortable having my recipe made
29:13with substandard ingredients.
29:14We use that Parmesan all the time. You can't go changing things without asking me.
29:20Hey, you made me partner. I can change 15% and I chose the Parmesan.
29:24And I don't know if you've heard, but people are raving about my pizza.
29:27Well, they probably would have loved my pizza too, but we'll never know because my partner threw it in the
29:31garbage. What a waste.
29:33Fine. I'll reimburse you if that'll make things right.
29:37Oh, sure. It's only money, right?
29:41What's that supposed to mean?
29:43We all know how well you're doing, Brie. You have made that very clear.
29:46But you shouldn't be lording it over everybody just because you've caught a couple of breaks.
29:50Caught a couple of breaks? I've worked my ass off to get where I am.
29:55I've worked my ass off too. I just wasn't as lucky as you.
29:57Well, I've always believed that we create our own luck.
30:00Meaning that I've created my own failure?
30:03Well, not completely, but let's face it, you do cut corners.
30:06I mean, one of the things I can teach you is the importance of the attention to detail.
30:10Wow, talk about luck. When I offered to throw you this little thank you party, I never imagined that it
30:16would turn into an opportunity for me to learn from the great Brie Hodge.
30:20Well, I'm not the one who needed $20,000 to keep my business afloat.
30:24No, you're the one who's never going to let me forget it.
30:27Where are you going?
30:28Home. Tell me how the party I threw for you turns out.
30:31Annette, I don't understand why you're so upset.
30:34I know you don't, but five years ago you would have.
30:41My car!
30:44You know that was an accident, right?
30:48I did the best I could on the class, Mrs. Solis. I don't think you'll be able to tell the
30:52difference.
30:53Okay, be honest. Here I come.
31:06So what do you think?
31:09You are stunning. Radiant.
31:14Really? Really. You're back, Mrs. Solis. Exactly like you were before.
31:20Oh, I think I've changed a little bit. Not that I can see.
31:29If there's nothing else, I'll be going.
31:32Jean, wait. What is it? Is there a problem?
31:35No, no. It's perfect.
31:38I just want to tell you how helpful you've been to me over the years.
31:42And I'm really grateful.
31:55Hey, buddy. How was the rest of the...
32:00I know what you did.
32:01What?
32:03Don't give me that. I know that you told the cops that Porter set that fire.
32:07I didn't say he set the fire. I only said I saw him in the back hallway.
32:10You couldn't have. He wasn't there!
32:12Tom, the cops were really grilling me. They wouldn't let up.
32:17I mean, I had to tell them what I thought I saw.
32:20Porter could have gone to jail.
32:21You almost destroyed my family. Destroyed our business.
32:26I'll make it up to you. I swear. I never meant to hurt you or Lynette.
32:31She doesn't know about this. I didn't tell her.
32:33If I had, you'd be dead.
32:36I am so sorry.
32:38I never should have said anything to the cops.
32:40It was dark. I've been drinking. You've got to believe me.
32:47Stop. Just stop.
32:51Are you done?
32:52Yeah.
32:57This is crazy.
32:58I mean, there's got to be some way we can work this out.
33:01We're not. We're friends.
33:04That's what I thought, too.
33:07But I don't know who you are.
33:14Tom.
33:17Tom!
33:18Tom!
33:32Can I ask you something?
33:34Go ahead. Shoot.
33:36I've been thinking a lot about your first wife.
33:41Edie.
33:42I know.
33:43Just one question and then I'll shut it.
33:45I don't like talking about her.
33:48It has been weeks since I found out she even existed and I've never mentioned her once.
33:53Come on.
33:54Look at this as my reward.
33:59Okay.
34:01One question.
34:04Being married to her.
34:06Well, being married to me.
34:09What's the biggest difference?
34:13Honestly?
34:15Our marriage is more real.
34:19Really?
34:20Hmm.
34:21In what way?
34:27Well, with her it was like a fairy tale.
34:31I thought it would last forever.
34:34It didn't.
34:35What you and I have is more real because I know it's not forever.
34:41When I hold you.
34:43When I kiss you.
34:45I try to remind myself to appreciate the moment because tomorrow may never come.
34:51Love.
34:53It's just temporary.
34:57The way the fairy tale ends.
34:59Is death.
35:07My first instinct was to ask you if she was prettier than me.
35:12When will I learn to go with my gut?
35:23I'm sorry.
35:24You can't afford the tuition?
35:25No.
35:27But I read in your brochure that faculty members get a 50% discount.
35:32So, for your art department, how would you like to hire an award-winning children's book illustrator
35:39who's great with kids and has a face you can't say no to?
35:43Unfortunately, our art department is fully staffed.
35:47Can't say no.
35:51Ms. Meyer, I appreciate your enthusiasm and the face, but I'm afraid it just won't work out.
35:58I wish you the best of luck.
36:01Yes.
36:04Great.
36:09No, wrong.
36:12Mrs. Meyer, please, I'm so busy.
36:14Look, I know I said that MJ was a star student, but the truth is, he's one of those kids
36:20that needs extra attention.
36:21The classes at his school are way too big and I see him getting lost in the shuffle.
36:27And if he gets lost now, my ex-husband is doing everything that he can.
36:33And I need to know that I am too.
36:38I will serve lunches.
36:39I will be a janitor.
36:42Anything.
36:45But I am not walking out on my son's future.
36:51Well, one of our art teachers does need an assistant.
36:56But you're completely overqualified.
36:58I'll take it.
37:04Congratulations on your new job.
37:08Congratulations on getting me out of your office.
37:15What's that?
37:16A check for the damage to your car.
37:18I can't afford to go through my insurance company.
37:20Oh, Lynette, don't be silly. It's just a bumper. You don't need to do that.
37:26Yes, I do.
37:28And the minute we're back on our feet, I am going to pay back your investment.
37:32Every penny.
37:34With interest.
37:36Lynette, stop. Wait, please. Don't be this way.
37:39I don't want money to get in the way of our friendship.
37:42Yeah.
37:44I think it's a little late for that.
37:57There's a lot you can do with money in the suburbs.
38:02You can pay for a night on the town.
38:08You can provide a private school education.
38:15You can purchase a token of affection.
38:23But the one thing you must never do with money is use it as a weapon.
38:28Because someone always gets hurt.
