to come in?

Mimi:
And I hadn't

looked at it since then,

but I... I was looking up

this speech I'd given,

and there it was.

I remembered the review

for his play

was in

the Chicago papers,

so I checked

their archives, and...

You probably don't even

want to see it.

You know, I just...

I thought

since I had

this business trip...

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

He seemed like

a very nice man.

Woman:

Oh! Uncultured creatures!

Hey, Joey, Scott.

Hi, Mr. Amaral.

Uhh.

What's going on?

Shh.

Where's your mom?

She's in the bathroom.

She's been in

since Rosie.

Boy.

Who was on Rosie?

I don't know.

Abby?

Abby?

You all right?

Abby:
I'll be out

in a minute.

OK.

[TV On]

Joey:
Give me that!

Buddy:

Guys. Hey, Scott.

Hey. Hey, stop,

Joey, Scott.

Joey, Scott, your mom's

trying to relax, OK?

Relax. Watch TV.

Buddy:
What do you

want to watch?

Scott:
I want

to watch my video.

Buddy:

All right, great.

Aah!

Scott. Scott.

Scott, stop it.

Scott, don't hit

your brother, OK?

He bit me.

Well, he's younger

than you.

Joey.

Joey, apologize, all right?

Say you're sorry.

Can you do that?

Can you do that for me?

Say you're sorry.

That's Dad.

Buddy:

... to celebrate

the opening

and the closing, sadly,

of the new play

Lilacs Something on your Dooryard.

That's you.

Greg:
Greg...

- Buddy:
Greg.

- Janello.

Buddy:
And I would like

to say, for one thing,

the critic

for the Chicago...

- [Turns OffTV]

- Joey:
Hey, That's my dad.

I want

to see that.

Scott:
You knew him?

When was that taken?

Uh...

Boys...

Abby:
go to your room

until I call you.

But that was dad.

Scott...

please.

Who gave this to you?

Mimi.

Mimi Prager.

Abby:
Remember her?

Abby.

Buddy:
Abby, I said I was

going to tell you something.

Remember I said I had

something to tell you?

That's what I was

going to tell you.

That's a lie.

Another lie.

He took my place,

and I felt responsible,

and I wanted to make sure

you were OK...

you and your kids.

Who the hell

do you think you are?

God?

Some goddamn angel

come to make sure

the victims

are alive and well?

You lied to me.

I never expected

to fall in love with you.

Oh, my God.

You're a liar.

No. You know

that's true.

I want you

out of this house.

I don't want

to see you again.

I don't want you

to call.

I don't want

to hear your voice

on my machine.

Look, you have

to let me explain.

You son of a b*tch.

You lied to me.

Get out.

Scott:

What's wrong, Mom?

[Abby Sighs]

Abby:
Do you want me

to say what you did

in front of them?

Because I will do

almost anything

to get you

out of here.

You better go, Mr. Amaral.

Uh...

Yeah, I think so,

too, Scott.

I think you're right.

I'm going to go.

I'll call you.

Joey...

Abby:

come out here.

I want you to say

good-bye to them.

I don't want another guy

Abby:
just disappearing

from their lives.

Abby, please.

Mr. Amaral won't be

coming around anymore.

Abby...

You can leave,

or you can say good-bye

and leave.

[Sniffles]

Uh...

I got to go away

for a while.

Why?

Because I...

I kept a secret

from your mom.

You're not supposed

to tell a secret.

Well, then

it wasn't a secret.

It was just...

I just didn't want

to tell her.

Didn't you say

you're sorry?

I am sorry.

Scott:
Don't worry

about it, Joey.

Come on.

Come on.

[Sighs]

OK. You have

to let me call you.

Get out...

before I tell them

who you are.

[Door Opens]

[Door Closes]

[Dial Tone]

[Buddy Dials Telephone]

[Line Rings]

Joey On Machine:
Hi, you've

called theJanello house.

You can leave a...

Please leave us a message.

Thanks. Bye.

[Beep]

Hey, Scott.

Uh, she's not home,

and even if she was...

She doesn't want

to see me.

Nope.

You know, Scott,

I'd understand it

if you were pretty mad

at me, too.

It's OK.

All right, pal.

I'll see you.

Did he say anything

about Christmas trees?

What?

Scott:
My dad.

He was supposed to sell

Christmas trees

with me

the next day,

and maybe that was why

he got back on the plane

and he did

and it crashed, so...

I was just wondering

if he said anything

about that.

Well...

Nah. He didn't

mention that to me.

He just said,

you know, he...

he said he just

wanted to get home.

Everybody at the airport

kind of wants to get home,

that's all.

Yeah, because

he didn't need

to sell those trees

with me.

I didn't even want to.

Everyone

has fake ones anyway.

Yeah, no, he just... he said

he wanted to get home to work.

I remember him saying

something about work,

but nothing about trees.

I'm sure of that.

Do you think

I should tell my mom?

Because...

maybe she thinks it's

because she yelled at him

over the tree thing.

You know, Scott,

I don't think

your mom will believe me.

But you believe me, right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's good.

Donna:
Could you

help me with these?

Donna, he should've

told me.

Of course. Lying

like that is terrible.

It's like telling people

you're divorced when you're not

or that you found a property

for your biggest client

on you're own

without help.

[Sighs]

Look, he just wanted

to see if you guys were OK.

Yes, but then he should've

left us alone.

Yeah.

I keep forgetting.

Who bought who

the Dodger tickets?

Look, guys screw up.

That's what they do.

It's in their manual

right after

" Love your grill,"

" Leave socks on floor."

[Sighs]

But if you can't

forgive him,

you can't.

It's not that I can't

forgive him.

Do you know how I spent

the night after he left?

Trying to fgure out

if I was glad that he didn't

get on that plane.

If I say I'm glad

he's alive,

I'm glad he found me

that day,

or if I lie,

and I say I'm not,

either way,

it feels like

I'm doing something

wrong to someone I...

To both of them...

to him and Greg.

Being with him is like

making a choice.

You don't have

that choice, Abby.

You have other choices.

It just can't be him,

that's all.

Donna:

OK, then, fine,

but whether it's Buddy

or someone else

a year from now,

whoever you choose

will be there

because Greg isn't.

That's just how it is.

Hey, Jim.

Seth said

you wanted to see me.

How's it going, Frank?

What's up?

Buddy:
Are we being sued

or something?

Infnity Airlines, according

to its marketing V.P.,

is deciding today

whether our services

will be required

in the future.

What? Why?

Apparently,

they've received

some information

that you coerced

an Infnity employee

to illegally board

a passenger

Frank:
under your name

onto flight 82.

Yeah. I mean, we dealt

with this a year ago

after the crash.

It was a computer problem

or something.

They have a correct version

of the roster

in their system.

Yes, they do.

Uh, you know

a Janice Guerrero?

Frank:
She was fired

6 weeks after the accident

for altering

the roster...

removing your name,

in fact,

and adding the name

of a Greg...

What does this

have to do

with our situation

with Infnity?

The suit is being

brought against Infnity

by the victims'

families.
