Anything for Love

1

I've been cheated...

...been mistreated

when will I be loved?

No, roxy...

You're snoring again.

Stop it.

I've been put down

Roxy, enough!

I've been pushed 'round

when will I be loved?

When I find a new man

that I want for mine

he always breaks

my heart in two

it happens every time

I've been made blue

I've been lied to

We need to pull out

of this deal.

It exposes us

to far too much risk,

and their earnings

look inflated.

Just put the brakes

on it now.

Morning, Ernie.

Oh, good morning.

See what our

cubbies done?

Ooh, white flag time

at wrigley.

Lester's finally

earning his keep.

Let's hope

he can keep it up.

There you go.

Oh, thank you.

Have a good day.

Yeah.

...when I find a new man

that I want for mine

he always breaks

my heart in two...

Good morning,

Ms. Benson.

...it happens every time

I've been cheated...

Morning!

Morning.

Morning, Debbie.

Whoo!

Busy weekend, I see.

Oof, grueling.

I mean, I don't know

how much longer

I can juggle

all these guys.

As long as it doesn't

interfere with your work.

Oh, mm-mm.

I've revised

the dunlop contract,

typed 20 letters,

and picked up your suits

from the cleaners.

Love is...

It's better

than a triple espresso

with a red bull chaser.

You're dating

three different men.

What do you know

about love?

A lot more than someone

who doesn't date any.

These better

be perfect.

Mm-hmm!

Daddy!

Kitten!

If you're free tonight,

Charles wants

to take you to dinner.

The ferguson deal

is closing tomorrow.

I will be eating

at my desk.

Oh, surely, you can spare

an hour or two.

I'm perfectly capable

of setting up my own dates.

Dates? Yes.

Your assistant, Debbie,

has single-handedly proven

that there are plenty

of dates to be had.

But don't you think

it's time

you got a bit

more serious?

You've been seeing

Charles for a while now,

and 35 is right

around the corner.

Which means I'm far too old

to have my father

playing matchmaker.

I know finding the right man

hasn't been easy for you.

Daddy, please...

I know how easily

men can be intimidated

by a woman's

professional success.

If their fragile egos

can't handle it,

that's their problem.

Well, few men are equipped

to deal

with a woman of your caliber,

but Charles seems to be able

to handle it.

What makes you so sure

he doesn't have

an ulterior motive?

That his real interest

doesn't lie

in getting his hands

on this company,

on everything

you and I have built?

Oh, kitten.

Is that what this is all about?

Remember how afraid

you were of that pony?

You refused to get on

until I promised

to walk by your side

the entire way,

and I ended up walking you

around that circle...

29 times.

I couldn't get you

off the darned thing.

I would walk

a million circles

before I'd ever let any harm

come to you.

I trust Charles.

I think he's good for you.

You make him sound

like a multi-vitamin.

You are stubborn

like your mother.

You know, she didn't

want to have

anything to do with

me at first either.

Thought I was

arrogant.

She was right.

I'll get us

a coffee.

Debbie?

Morning, Mildred.

Looking ravishing

as usual.

Any patients in need

of my medical expertise?

Yeah, the one

that's in for a heart valve.

Ah, kid?

Uh, you could

call him that.

Did he give you

a hard time?

Brandon!

I'm Jack Cooper.

How are you doing?

You tell me.

You're the

know-it-all doctor.

I am not a know-it-all doctor.

First one I've heard

to admit that.

I mean, I'm definitely

a know-it-all,

but not a doctor.

I'm a nurse.

A nurse!

You're, like, a guy.

I'm, like, a guy nurse.

You flunk out of med school,

or what?

That's a good one.

You can laugh,

laugh all you want.

Women love it.

Oh, yeah, I'll bet.

"Daddy, I'd like you to

meet the man of my dreams,

nurse Cooper."

It might behoove you,

young man,

to remember

that I can make your stay here

like the four seasons,

or like the bates motel.

It's your choice.

Okay.

Little sensitive.

I tell you, it's almost better

to be an orderly sometimes.

I mean, no offense.

Oh, none taken.

I know my gig

is sweet.

No one expects you

to be something you're not.

Did you get a load

of your brother

from another mother?

Okay,

we may share the same last name,

but that is where it stops,

my friend.

And that is

tough luck for you.

Oh, man...

Look at him!

He's a total womanizer.

I know, and he's

got no hair

and a horrible case

of halitosis.

And they're still

lining up for him.

You know, it's

a known fact that doctors

are at the top of

the dating food chain.

You put an "m. D." At

the end of your name,

nothing else matters.

An "r. N?"

Not so much.

Dr. j. Thomas Cooper,

please report

to labor and delivery.

I mean,

what is with these women?

Why is it always about power,

prestige and money?

I mean, whatever

happened to love, man?

Love for who we are,

in our souls, as men?

Wow, yeah...

You need to forget

all about that.

You've got to work

with what you got.

Take me, for example.

I've got this awesome

physique, right?

And so, when I

meet a woman,

I tell her that

I'm a pro athlete.

Okay... I'm sorry.

Wait, and she believes you?

Yeah.

She believes me

because she wants to believe.

Yeah, and what happens

when she finds out

that you're not?

Well, I mean, it doesn't

really get that far.

They realize that

they hate my guts

before they figured

out I lied.

Ah, great.

Yeah, it's not

foolproof.

How are we friends?

I'll have another.

On the rocks, sir,

or straight up?

Katherine!

I'm so sorry.

Thank you.

So, what's all this?

A hotel development

in Wisconsin.

I'd love for you

and your father

to be part of it.

Have you shown it to him?

Not yet.

It's still in

its early stages,

but if it works out,

we all stand to make

a small fortune.

Katherine...

Do you realize

it's been six months

since we started

seeing each other?

Has it?

After the Mancini closing.

That dim-witted notary

spilled his coffee on you,

and I lent you

my handkerchief, remember?

Yes, I do.

You went on

to extract

the highest price

per square foot

this city has ever seen.

You were breathtaking.

Oh, this is the lawyer

on the deal

that's closing tomorrow.

Just one second, dear.

I'll be five minutes.

Just go ahead and order.

Kat...

Katherine Benson.

- I...

- Yes, of course.

Let me grab a pen.

We can hash this out.

Okay.

Well, yeah...

All right, yeah,

give it to him.

Fine, so...

Excuse me?

Could you pack this up

for the lady?

Thank you.

You know,

Katherine,

it's really no problem

at all to drop you home.

Oh, I've got some things

to finish, and...

Well, um...

A small token

of my affection.

Oh, that's... Charles,

that's not necessary.

No, please.

Please.

No, I couldn't possibly...

I know we've kept things

fairly casual up until now,

but when you get the chance,

I'd like you

to put some thought

to our future together.

Our future?

Yeah. In a more

permanent capacity.
