and that--

That we nurture each other.

It's not just you, it's me.

I-- I want to support you

more too.

You mean,

like we two as one?

Yes!

It sounds just like

my marriage.

It does. That sounds exactly

like my marriage.

I get you to help me

with my gestures on my speech.

Oh, don't joke, please.

Ah, no,

this is not what we wanted.

We were stupid.

I mean, we talked about,

uh, space.

Give each other

a lot of space.

We have too goddamn

much space!

I'm sorry.

I don't think I can do

what you're describing.

I-I-I really don't.

I mean, I did that,

and it really

drove me crazy.

I know.

Frankly,

I-I prefer the jokes.

I know.

I really don't wanna live

through every moment

of another person's life.

I mean, not even yours.

[LAUGHING]

I don't know what happened

in New York.

I really don't know,

but I don't want it

to turn my life inside out.

I don't--

I don't want that.

I know you don't.

You never have.

I knew something

was wrong.

I knew it.

I just didn't know

what it was till I left.

And you know now what...

Yeah, now I know.

Do you realize

what this sounds like to me?

I do.

Boy, see, I-I knew we should

never have sat down to talk.

I knew what I was doing.

This is really...

Oh, boy.

[]

Hey, Dr. Gunzinger.

Oh, hi.

Hi, Mr. Cooperman.

Hi.

How was your weekend?

Weekend?

Yeah.

Uh,

you made any progress?

Well,

I'll tell you,

I've been thinking.

Yeah?

KATE:

I think I've been looking

in the wrong place.

I have some new ideas

about the two fusion.

COOPERMAN:
What? What?

Yeah.

COOPERMAN:

You mean Dot O

to Dot G?

KATE:

Right. Just in

the simplest case though.

Oh, but that might be the hinge

of the whole problem.

Yeah, right away that's

gonna give you the quotient.

That's immediate.

Right.

It's just

a beginning though.

Show me what

you're talking about.

Oh, I can't do it now.

Show me.

Look, I-- I'm gonna

be here for a while.

The classification

might even drop right out.

This is incredible.

Yeah, if this works

we could be famous.

What? Listen,

it's just a beginning.

The tough part

is working it out.

Yeah, I know.

[]

Dr. Gunzinger?

Yeah.

First they sent me

to New Hall,

I thought I was

gonna miss you.

From Benjamin Lewin, Jr.,

who owes you one.

He said to tell you he's working

on re-routing through Toronto.

[DIANA ROSS' "IT'S MY TURN"

PLAYING]

[SIGHS]

It's my turn

To see what I can see

I hope you'll understand

This time's just for me

Because it's my turn

With no apologies

I've given up the truth

To those

I've tried to please

But now it's my turn

If I don't have

All the answers

At least I know

I'll take my share

Of chances

Ain't no use in holding on

When nothin' stays the same

So I'll let it rain

'Cause the rain

Ain't gonna hurt me

And I'll let you go

Though I know

It won't be easy

It's my turn

With no more room for lies

For years I've seen my life

Through someone else's eyes

And now it's my turn

To try and find my way

And if I should get lost

At least I'll own today

It's my turn

Yes, it's my turn

And there ain't no use

In holding on

When nothing stays the same

So I'll let it rain

'Cause the rain

Ain't gonna hurt me

And I'll let you go

Though I know

It won't be easy

It's my turn

To see what I can see

I hope you'll understand

This time's just for me

Because it's my turn

To turn and say goodbye

I sure would like to know

That you're still

On my side

Because it's my turn

It's my turn

It's my turn

To start from number one

Trying to undo

Some damage

That's been done

But now it's my turn

To reach and touch the sky

No one's gonna say

At least I didn't try

It's my turn

Yes, it's my turn

It's my turn

It's my turn

It's my turn
