- Well, I love you!

- Are you talking to me?

You and only you.

Okay, have a good day.

You, too.

Hey.

- You need to leave.

- Why? Come on. Come over here.

Just go.

- What are you doing?

- Just get your sh*t and just go.

Just... Here.

- What's wrong with you?

- Get out, please.

I don't know who you are.

- Well, I'm Jonathan, you...

- No, you're not Jonathan.

- Get your stuff, and just get out.

- You asked me to be Jonathan.

You're not Jonathan. Get the f*** out.

You're not Jonathan. Go!

- What did I do?

- Please. Please just go.

- Well, I would, but what did I do?

- You did nothing wrong.

- I mean, I...

- I don't know you! Get out!

Just get out! Please, please.

- You got my other shoe?

- I don't know where your shoe...

I don't know who the hell you are!

Get the f*** out of my room!

Okay, okay. I'm going.

- See you later?

- Please, just go. Please!

All right.

Surprise!

Happy anniversary to you!

Congratulations.

- Hi.

- I'll get your stuff for you.

Happy anniversary.

Wow. Hey.

- In from the cold.

- I had no idea.

Party, party, party!

This is our song, honey!

Jonathan was so ambitious

keeping this a secret.

He just wanted so much to surprise you.

He's so sneaky. Did you even have a clue?

No. No idea.

The look on your face was priceless.

Joan, can I steal my sister away

for a moment?

- Yeah, sure.

- Come on.

Okay.

Where's Claire?

- Thanks for saving me.

- No problem.

I mean, she's nice, but, God,

she can talk your ear off.

Sometimes I feel like

I'm the only smoker left in Los Angeles.

- So, how have you been?

- Okay.

Hey, I was trying to lay low

so I wouldn't say anything about the party.

I mean, you know me.

It doesn't take much to get me to talk.

You all right?

What?

I cheated on Jonathan.

- Don't say another word.

- I didn't mean to.

God, just, Claire.

This is a big mistake.

Seriously, Claire. He's an amazing guy.

He's the best thing

that ever happened to you.

I mean, the way he cares for you,

other women would line up for.

- I know.

- Good.

Because you can't get back trust.

And you can't take away pain.

Believe me.

Claire.

Thank you. It was great to see you.

Thanks for drinking me

out of house and home.

- You behave yourself. Later.

- All right, honey, yes,

- I'll call you real soon.

- Okay.

- Okay?

- Good night.

Good night.

- Thank you.

- All right, see you later.

Sorry.

Yeah, you know, what can you do? I mean,

- you've been busy, right?

- It's no excuse.

I know, I know.

Next year, I'll be busy,

and I'll forget it, all right?

So I'm gonna go to bed.

- I'll be right up.

- I've cleaned up everything else.

- It's all good.

- Of course.

- Well, good night.

- All right, good night.

All right. I'll be asleep.

Simon Phillips.

We haven't officially met, but well,

I'd like to take this occasion to...

- Night, CD.

- See you tomorrow.

Hi. Simon Phillips.

We haven't officially met,

but I'd like to take this occasion

to really get to know you.

- Claire Dennison.

- Pleasure.

- Mrs. Claire Dennison.

- Yeah. I know.

I read the e-mail.

I mean, it's very well written,

very well composed, but yeah?

What happened to the spontaneous Claire?

I like the spontaneous Claire.

You know, you're not answering my e-mails

or my phone calls,

so I figure I'll come over, I'll protect you

from the rain, I'll take you out

- for a little dinner, a little wine.

- I can't.

Some closure.

Come on. Well, just one drink then.

You've got time for one drink.

I know you do.

- Simon, I can't do this.

- I know you've got time for one drink.

- I need a little clarity, here.

- What are you doing here?

Claire, let's just have the drink,

and then I'll go away. Yeah.

- You'll go away?

- Just like that.

You promise?

- All right, one drink.

- Great.

- You look beautiful.

- Thanks.

- Beautiful.

- Just follow me, okay?

All right.

- How are you, tonight?

- Great.

Tonight's special, we have the rack of lamb,

and my personal favorite,

the steamed bass.

It's a cassoulet of white beans...

- Okay, great.

...vegetables...

- Nice.

...and basil.

- Sorry, we're not eating.

- That sounds great, doesn't it?

- We're not eating.

- Sure.

I'm just trying to understand, Claire.

I mean, you moved so fast.

Like, one minute you're in,

the next minute you're out.

I've never done this before.

Okay, that's a good thing.

It makes you a decent human being.

You got any kids?

You've gotta take my feelings

into consideration in all of this, Claire.

I understand your feelings, okay? I'm sorry.

But I love my husband.

And that's good. That's a very good thing,

because I'm not saying

you shouldn't love your husband,

but there's also my feelings for you

because I feel for you.

- I have feelings for you.

- You can't.

Did you feel something for me?

Because we had something real there.

You told me, you know, everything.

I didn't make that up.

- The kisses, the touching...

- I don't even know you.

Well, you told me you love me.

You told me you love me,

and your kisses know me.

And your hunger knows me.

Okay?

Why don't we have lunch tomorrow,

all right?

I have plans.

I'll join you, okay?

They're with my husband.

I have to go.

Wait.

I'm a decent human being,

- okay?

- Get off me.

I promised you one drink.

Goodbye, Simon.

Don't do that.

- Hey.

- You on your way home?

I'm close by.

- You need anything?

- Yeah, could you stop by,

- pick up my dry cleaning?

- Sure.

I've got to go get my stuff anyway,

so I'll see you in a bit?

Okay.

I love you. Bye.

Bye.

Hey, honey.

Yes? Come in.

Can I help you?

Bizarre.

What's going on? What's going on?

Did someone send you?

May I?

Yeah.

- Simon Phillips.

- Jonathan Dennison.

Pleasure to meet you.

- Yeah, please.

- Thanks.

I mean, I've heard...

I've heard myths about them,

and I've read some things in books.

Doppelgngers.

But I never thought I'd find myself

sitting opposite my own

doppelganger, in his office,

- like this.

- Is there something I can do for you,

Mr. Phillips?

Yeah, my son goes to Cornell.

Yes, I went there.

It's my wife.

She's been having serious problems.

Bipolar issues.

And medication seems ineffective

at this point.

And Professor Samuels...

Samuels?

...told my son

that you were the best in the field.

He also mentioned our likeness,

but I never...

Likeness is an understatement.

An understatement, yes.

Likeness is an understatement.

Samuels. I can't believe he's still there.

Still there, still going strong.

What is he, 83 now?

Yeah, anyway, to get to the point, my wife...

She's here with you now?

No, I couldn't bring her. She... No.

Well, I'm running late, I'm afraid,

and I fly off to this

four-day conference in Chicago,

which I have to go to tomorrow.

- You and your wife?

- That would be wonderful.

That would be wonderful.

Thank you very much.

It's just so hard, I mean,

she's changed so much.

- This person I love...

- Yes, well, I really am
