Get out of the vehicle.

Put your hands on the fender.

Mickey tries to convince the cop

he's not a perverted lunatic.

He brings him up-To-Date

on the whole story.

Thank you!

Good luck!

Excuse me!

And?

Hello, this is mrs. Gordon,

calling for the results of my pregnancy test.

Just a moment, please.

Mrs. Gordon?Yes?

That result was negative. Hold, please, and

i'll schedule you for another appointment.

Thank you.

You have to remember.

Besides the disappointment,

She's pumped full

of those hormone shots.

She's a wreck.

It's horrible for her.

Forget about it. Most of that time,

mickey's on the road.

So she's doing this alone, but

they try again... for two years.

Two years? Yeah.

Until finally...

Get it?

Yeah.Uh-Oh, he wants

his mommy.

You look pretty natural.

Come here,

you beautiful boy.Jesse, you big boy.

Here, grab

one of us.Sure.

Turn him around,

honey.Okay, all right.

Say hello.

Look at uncle mickey.

Oh! Mmm!

What's the matter?

Cute.I'm tired.

Let's go home.

I mean i'm tired

of the whole thing.

I want to stop.

You want to adopt?

I don't know.

I just...

I just want some time not to have

to think about it for a while.

All right?Okay.

They looked into adoption,

But the agencies

were not that cooperative.

He traveled.

She worked full-Time.

They were on

a ten-Mile-Long waiting list.

We didn't see them that much

after that. You know...

We had a baby. Yeah.

I saw them. It wasn't good.

There's a spot

right there, mickey.I can't get in that spot.

Of course you could.I can't get

in that spot.

I could get in that spot.Maybe the "phantom"

could get in that spot.

What is that

supposed to mean? school days, school days

It was just a matter of time.

Sit down, please.

Ever been in california,

captain?

Lots of times. Recently?

Mickey?What?

General, you're

a soldier and officer.

You know as well as i do

i can't give you...i want to move to dallas.

What are you talking about?

The airline offered me a big promotion, but

it involves moving to dallas and i want to.

Oh.

It shouldn't make that big of a

difference to you if you're in dallas.

I mean, you'd be home

the same amount.

Right. But

i'd be in dallas.

So what? It's a city.

They have veal parmigiana.

You just can't walk into a room and say,

we're moving to dallas.

- Why not?

- "Why not?"

Because this is my home, you know?

And i'm not givin' in this time.

What do you mean,

"this time"?Yeah.

I always end up

giving in to what you want.You?

Me. Would you like to add them up?

Want to see my list?

Do you want to see my list

while we're at it?

Look, they need an answer

by this week, so...

Make up your mind.

I don't need a week.

I'm not going.

Must i remind you

that a chain...

Is no stronger

than its weakest link?

Well, in that case,

i'm moving to france.

France? France?

How did france

get in the picture?

They gave me my choice

between dallas and paris.

I wanted paris,

but i figured that wasn't fair to you.

But now since you're not even

willing to move to dallas,

I might as well take the job in france,

because that's the one i really want.

No! No!

Stop the cab! Ellen!

Stop, please.Stop the cab.

Ellen, please.

Let's talk about this.

Please!

Ellen, please.Don't do this.

We've been through it.

Let's go in the house

and we'll just talk about this.

I have to go.You mean

you want to go.

Look, are we happy?Yeah!

You know, sometimes we have ups and downs.

But everybody does.

Mickey, are you happy?

I just think for right now

it's better if we just...

Just what? Separate?I'm not saying that.

You're not saying that, but you're going

to paris and i'm going in the house.

That's not staying together.

Look, please...

No, i just need to go

for a little while...

What if you stay

until the season ends?

We'll go to paris together.

We were great in paris.

Forget paris.Forget it?

How do you forget

the best week in your life?

Maybe that's all we were

is just one great week.

Is that what you think?

Huh? After four years?

You know what then?

You're right. You should go.

Absolutely, go.

Have a nice trip.

Take care of yourself,

mickey.

Let's go, please.

That's it? Yeah.

No. She turns around

and comes running back, right?

Nope. She got on that plane

and flew to paris.

And he went after her?

No. He got on another plane

to do a game in sacramento.

That's how it ends?

Yeah. That was what?

Four months ago.

Now mickey's alone

in a house he didn't want.

He's, you know,

adjusting... slowly.

And ellen? I spoke to her

about a month ago in paris.

She was lonely and,

You know,

But you know when you're talking to

someone and they tell you they're fine,

But you hear that thing in their

voice and you know they're not.

You know? That thing?

She's got it.

We're still waiting for someone.

Do you happen to know what happened

tonight at the knick game?

Did they go overtime or something?

Because our friend is unbelievably late.

I don't think so, pal.

People at that table were at the game.

They've been there

for over half an hour.
