- in a bit of a hurry.

- I'm sorry.

- My wife is expecting me for lunch.

- I'm on my way.

- You're married, too?

- Yes.

This is her?

Wow.

Wow, she's beautiful. You really...

- You're a lucky man.

- Very.

Please, if you'll... I've got to get going.

This way, please.

Well, will you look at that.

It's...

I have an idea.

Why don't you come to lunch

- with Claire and I?

- I don't want to impose.

No, no, no. You see,

she won't understand that you're my double.

She has to see you,

to see the magnitude of our likeness.

- It's...

- Oh, okay.

This will be one heck of a surprise.

Yeah.

Hey, sorry I'm late.

I got caught up at the office,

and the traffic was horrible.

Well, I just got here myself.

I always get what I want.

I always get what I want.

I...

I always get what I want.

I have a surprise for you.

- What's the surprise?

- Turn around.

Surprise.

It's uncanny. Please sit down.

- I mean, I'm still amazed.

- Simon Phillips.

I recognized her from the photos.

- What photos?

- The photos at the office.

Mr. Phillips is...

Well, there's an old professor of mine,

who has requested me

for a seminar at the university

up in Oakland, next month.

I told Jonathan

that I didn't want to impose on this lunch,

but he insisted.

Well, of course. If I hadn't dragged him here,

- would you even believe a word I said?

- That is correct.

It's a very strong resemblance.

Excuse me. Yes, I have to take this.

Hello? Yeah.

- What are you doing here?

- Well, you told me you were married,

- but you left out one minor detail.

- You have your detail, now leave.

And spoil his fun? That would be rude.

I missed you, Claire.

I can't stop thinking about you,

can't stop fantasizing about you, I...

Haven't you missed me even a little?

Take your hand off me.

It was a big mistake.

- Don't be delusional.

- You really couldn't tell? Between us?

- Were you wet the moment you saw me?

- What are you doing? Stop!

I'll make you come. Right now, shut up.

- I'm gonna make you come.

- Get off me.

I know you want it.

Why don't you laugh

like I said something funny?

I don't find this funny.

Laugh anyway,

or I'm gonna tell him everything.

Yes. Yeah, yes, I will. Okay, bye.

Sorry about that.

Sorry, but well, you know, the university

has to reschedule these classes, so...

- I really must, I've got a flight to catch.

- No lunch?

- My wife is expecting me.

- My card

with my cell phone,

and the home number on the back.

You call me if you have any questions.

- Yeah, I will. This your cell phone?

- It is.

Okay, thanks.

The pleasure is all mine, Claire.

- Have a nice flight.

- Thank you.

Waiter, waiter. Some water, please.

I still think we need to go

with a younger director.

Someone who speaks to the audience

that we're trying to get a hold of.

Hurley just doesn't get it.

- How old is Hurley, 32?

- Thirty-two has nothing to do with it.

What do we need?

He's hip, he's fresh, he's edgy.

- I don't have time to deal with...

- Sam. Sam, the deal is done, okay?

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Picking up.

- Hi, Mrs. Dennison.

Your husband pick up your clothes already,

this afternoon.

- Jonathan.

- Hey, honey.

- They cancel your lecture?

- You're home!

Perfect timing.

Look at this.

- Smells good.

- How did you get in here?

What do you mean? I used the key.

What key?

What key? The one that,

the one that's outside, under the pot.

What are you talking about? The key.

Look at this. I made this beautiful

mango reduction wild salmon.

I'd appreciate it if you'd leave now.

Well, fine. I mean, I'll leave.

Yeah, okay, I'll leave.

After we have dinner, all right?

Come on. Sit down.

Come on. Sit down. Come over here.

Sit down. Don't make me do this by myself.

I opened up a wonderful Sancerre for us,

and I'm behaving.

We'll eat. Okay?

We'll reminisce about old times,

San Francisco a little bit, New York,

and then I'm gonna go away.

I'm going to just disappear, forever.

- No, you won't.

- I promise you.

Man of my word.

I'm gonna go.

Unless, of course,

you decide you want me to stay.

Get out of my house.

Oh, my God.

I really nailed this mango sauce.

And the fish is seared to perfection.

What? Me?

Well, you know, I was a lonely kid.

I didn't have any siblings.

Mommy and Daddy, they were long gone.

But I love the water, so when they died,

I inherited all this money.

What sign are you, anyway?

Wait. Don't tell me, let me guess.

Aries?

Virgo?

Gemini? Maybe a Gemini.

Leo. Leo the lion, right?

Still pretty clean.

It's really nice here with you.

I just want to say that. I...

Anyway, I'm a man of my word,

and I said I'd leave, so I'm out of here.

This bird's gotta fly.

Wanna show me out to the door?

Sure.

After you.

After you.

Why? Are you afraid that I'm gonna see

that knife behind your back?

Okay.

Tell me something, Claire,

if you could blink or wiggle your nose

or do something cute,

would you choose me or Jonathan?

That's my foot.

I only have one regret in my life.

Marrying Jonathan isn't it.

Answer the phone, answer the phone.

Please answer the phone.

Come on.

God, no.

Well, Mrs. Dennison,

there must have been something

that gave him the idea

you were more than friends.

I didn't say we were friends.

It was business.

Maybe you were flirtatious

without realizing it.

Maybe after a few drinks in a hotel bar,

you and he became familiar.

You know what? You're really rude.

I called you guys for help.

I don't need this.

What about the dry cleaning?

Are you making

a separate complaint on that?

These are signs of a stalker.

If for any reason, known or unknown to you,

he may feel that you like him in any way,

he might be acting on it.

Have you received an unusual amount

of e-mails or phone calls from him?

No.

So what do I do?

- Start by changing your locks.

- What are you guys gonna do?

Well, actually, we can't do anything,

unless there's an assault on you.

A premature restraining order

will only agitate him more,

and it's not really gonna protect you.

Don't answer his e-mails,

stop taking his calls.

If you ignore him, he should go away.

And if he doesn't?

You really are gonna have to

call Claire back after dinner

because she has

something very important to tell you.

Very important.

Yes, I miss you, too.

- I love you.

- Are you talking to me?

You and only you.

All right,

I'll talk to you in the morning, okay?

- Night, Claire.

- Okay.

Just a normal conversation with my wife.

That's weird.

- That's...

- What do you mean?

A normal conversation...

Wow.

Hey, hey, hey, what do you want?

You hungry? You must be hungry.

Here we go.

You know,

I seared the salmon to perfection.

Let's get a nice big bite for you.

I cooked it for Claire tonight.

No more? What?

You didn't like it?

Probably thought it was underdone, right?

On you.

Want to know how I prepared it?

Listen to this.

First of all, I caught the fish myself

because I'm a fisherman, you know?
