That's what happened. Mm-hmm. Ray?

Is that true?

No, it isn't.

Don't, Tim!

- Please!

- It's over.

Eva, we did take Ray.

And we lied about him

being dead.

This is the best funeral I've ever

been to in my life. You got that right.

I'm sorry.

It's not their fault.

Like hell it isn't.

You three...

have yet to feel my rage.

Eva,you don't understand.

It's because of me.

The only reason

I went out with you...

is because they paid me to.

I was supposed to...

make you like me,

then trick you

into moving away.

But I didn't know you then.

I didn't realize

how wonderful you are.

How much you changed me,

make me wanna change.

I know I was wrong,

but...

what we have is bigger

than all the mistakes I've made.

I'm certain of that.

How much did they pay you?

Eva, that's not-

How much?

Five thousand dollars.

But, Eva, I'm giving them

that money back, and I promise-

Oooh!

You are exactly

who I thought you were.

So, I guess

you're single now, huh?

Excuse me.

Police!

Eva, please. Let me

have a minute. Stalker!

Sixty seconds, Eva. Okay,

okay, one minute. Go, Raymond.

Raymond? How did I get all

the way back to Raymond? Right.

I don't want you

to stop being mad.

I understand how you feel.

I'm upset, too,

at myself.

But we need to remember what we're

losing here. Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick.

I know you still have

feelings for me.

I have feelings for you.

Life is hard, Eva. We both

passed up on a lot of good things.

We are too wise

for that now.

I am never, ever gonna find

another woman like you.

I love you.

You know what I learned

about love, Raymond?

It isn't a virus that

infects you. It's a choice.

We choose to be in love, and

we choose what love makes us do.

I earned your choice,

and you stole mine.

I was ready to give up

my entire life for you,

and all you were

ready to do was let me.

So are you sure?

Are you sure you love me?

Or are you just upset that...

I found out what you were...

and... made a different choice?

That's what I thought.

Excuse me, I have travel plans.

What's up, fellas?

Eva, you don't

have to rub it in.

We've been trying to apologize to your

sisters for weeks. They still hate us.

My sisters love you.

They love you so much.

I was just a distraction

and a huge pain in the ass.

And I am so sorry.

We dissolved the Dandridge fund

and split it up yesterday.

Let's go home.

Let's get out of here.

And I can read you a book.

Yeah. As long as

it's not a scary book.

I don't like scary books.

Maybe we could have

some, uh- some make-up sex.

Don't worry.

I have plenty of protection.

We don't need it.

I wanna do this right now

before I lose my nerve.

What are you doing?

Oh, my God. Oh, my God!

Oh, my God.

Will you?

Yes.

Congratulations.

You know what? We should all go to dinner. Eva, let's

- Yeah.

Holy mother of God.

Hey, Eva!

Whoa. Whoa.

I quit my job, sold my

house and bought him.

You shouldn't have.

I can't be bought.

I got him a home in a stable just

outside of town. It's paid up for a year.

Are you even

listening to me?

Yes. Now you listen to me.

You said love is a

choice. Well, I love you.

And I'm not leaving. I'm gonna

show up at your job every day.

I'm gonna send you gifts,

and tell you I'm sorry...

until you understand that

I will not live without you.

Or until you call

the cops on me, but...

even that won't stop me.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Is this your animal?

Yes, Officer.

This is my horse.

My horse.

You're gonna have

to move him off the street.

Will you buy

a horse for me?

No.

Hello, is Linda there?

Hey, babe.

Listen, I'll pick you up

over on Fairfax.

I'm at work.

No, you know you can't come by.

I'm pretending to be gay.

Because in L.A., a straight hairdresser

is an unemployed hairdresser.

Well, at least

until I get my own place.

Absolutely.

Okay, I love you too.

Telly, honey. Would it kill you

to come in there and do some work?

Oh, I'm sorry. I just had to check

on my honey. You know how they are.
