- Melissa?

I wanted to know,

when would you like

to get together again?

How did you get my number?

It wasn't that difficult.

There is this thing called the phone book.

Look, hold on a second.

- Hello?

- Doug?

- I finally caught you.

- Laura.

Hi, baby.

Where have you been?

I've been trying to get a hold of you.

Look, just hold on a second, okay?

- Melissa?

- Who's Melissa?

Oh, just hold on.

- Hello?

- I don't like being put on hold.

Look, fine.

I'll call you back, okay?

Do you still have my number?

Yeah, I got it somewhere.

- Laura.

- Who's Melissa?

She's just a friend of my mom's.

- How is your mom?

- She's okay.

It's tough on her, though, you know?

She talks about my dad

like he's still around.

So how is San Francisco?

Wonderful.

I take it your interview went well?

It's official.

I've been accepted.

So how come you don't sound excited?

I'm going to be in San Francisco.

Yeah?

Well, you may not be alone.

What do you mean?

There's a scout coming to see me...

from the Giants.

As in San Francisco Giants.

When did this happen?

Coach told me about it today.

- Do you wanna get that?

- No.

I'd rather talk to you.

F*** you, you bastard!

So, when are you coming home?

I'm leaving first thing in the morning.

I should get there around eight,

depending on traffic.

So, What, should I meet you

at your place?

I have a better idea.

Oh, yeah?

What's that?

- The library.

- The library?

Isn't that what you wanted?

No, that was different.

I've been doing a lot of thinking, Doug.

I mean, you were right.

I don't know Why I make

such a big deal out of it.

I know I have to change.

So the library it is.

Is there a better place to learn?

I'll meet you there.

Bye.

Laura?

Yeah?

I miss you.

I miss you, too.

- I'll be back soon.

- Bye.

- Hey, Doug.

- Earl.

- Doug.

- Hey, Earl.

Do you know what it took

to get this part?

Where'd you get it?

Never ask a cop about his sources.

You better take good care of that bike,

just like your father did.

I will.

Thanks, Earl.

Listen, tell your mom that...

Marge and I will meet her

at one for lunch.

- 1:
00.

- Okay?

- All right.

- All right.

- Thanks, Earl.

- All right.

Earl said he'd meet you

at one for lunch.

Oh, good.

I do hope you're joining us.

Actually, Mom, I can't.

Doug, is there something Wrong?

No. Nothing. Why?

You just seem a little on edge lately.

It's not like you.

The coach said that a scout

from the Giants is coming to see me.

Oh, Dougie, that's terrific.

Maybe you should shave

this thing off.

Ma, it's not that big a deal.

You never know.

We're talking professional.

It's probably the Giants now.

- Hello?

- Is Doug there?

Oh, hi, Laura.

No, it's Melissa.

Do I sound like Laura?

I'm Doug's tutor.

Oh, Melissa.

Is he around?

I'm sorry,

Doug's not home right now.

He's not?

Do you know Where he went?

No, I don't.

He drove off about an hour ago.

Really? Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

Would you like to leave a message?

No, that's okay.

Melissa.

Who's Melissa?

It's nobody.

It's just somebody I met at a party.

So Why did I have to lie?

I'm sorry, Mom.

I just didn't feel like talking to her.

Douglas?

Yeah, Mom.

Don't get yourself into trouble.

Oh, sh*t.

I don't believe this.

Surprise, surprise.

What are you doing here?

I was about to ask you

the same thing.

Why did your mother lie to me?

I told her to.

Why?

Because I said I would call you.

But you didn't,

so what's a girl to do?

So, what do you want?

Well, I made reservations for two

at Carmichael's tonight.

- I already have plans.

- My treat.

I can't.

Not tonight.

- When?

- I don't know.

Oh, I see.

So I served my purpose,

and now you're moving on.

No, that's not it at all.

Melissa.

You've got to shave that thing.

I missed you.

I missed you, too.

All I could think about...

was us.

What's Wrong?

Nothing.

What do you mean nothing?

- Aren't I...

- No, it's not you.

It's just- I don't know.

Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.

I'm trying, Doug.

Really.

I know.

We will begin today's class

by making a longitudinal incision

along the abdominal cavity.

You will remember from last week

the proper surgical techniques

of opening the body.

- And we will go through lessons...

- Why don't you have the honors, Doug?

...26 through 30 of the tutorial.

- Follow along through steps 11...

- Go for it, slugger.

...through 16,

and you will realize

that Makon's descriptions

are reasonably close to reality.

Are we ready?

It's easy once you get the hang of it.

Very good, Mr. Gordon.

Now identify...

this.

Gall bladder.

Gall bladder.

Very good, Mr. Gordon.

Now, tracing away

from the liver, you...

Strike two.

Watch the ball, Rich!

Take it easy, now!

Don't rush yourself!

Come on, Filipelli!

- Strike three!

- What?

You're outta here!

Okay, we'll take it.

Keep it up, Rich.

Son of a b*tch has gotta be throwing 90.

He is.

I clocked him on radar.

- No sh*t.

- Come on, Gordon!

Come on, Gordon.

Let's go, now.

Come on, Gordon.

Ball.

That's the Way to Watch it!

Good eye!

Three!

Lucky pitcher.

Unlucky batter.

It happens.

Get dressed.

Judy's here.

Maybe we'll all go out.

Okay, I'll be a sec.

Meet you at your truck?

Don't worry.

You played well.

Last one, chief.

Didn't mean to make you jump.

Maybe you ought to switch to decaf

or meditate

or some f***ing thing.

Lose something?

- Get out.

- Don't worry.

No one's gonna interrupt us.

Not unless they're a locksmith.

Look, Melissa, this has gotta stop.

Doug, you almost finished in there?

Judy and I want to get something to eat.

Yeah, look I'll be there in a minute, okay?

I'm just gonna take a quick shower.

Go ahead.

Doug, are you alone?

Yeah, why?

I have a better idea.

What's that?

Why don't I come in

and help you dry off?

Look, that sounds really good,

but the coach pissed at me,

and he's coming back in a minute

to talk to me, okay?

So just go ahead

and I'll meet you there.

Okay.

Let's go.

Finally.

I like it when you play rough.

Just get the f*** out of here.

Doug, what's Wrong?

Look, I just want to get

something straight with you, okay?

Melissa.

Don't be embarrassed.

It's a good idea to spice things up.

Otherwise, love will never last.

- There is no love.

- How can you say that?

- After everything...

- I'm sorry you misunderstood.

It's Laura, isn't it?

Yes, but I told you

right from the beginning, okay?

What does she have that I don't?

Look, I'm not gonna have

this discussion with you.

Well, I bet she doesn't have this.

That's not real, is it?

Now, what would be special

about a fake tattoo?

I can't believe you did that.

Why?

Because all we did was f***.

We didn't make love.

We f***ed.

And it didn't mean a thing.

What about me?

Huh? What about the Way that I feel?

Did you ever stop to consider that?

Huh? What did you think,

that I was just some slut plaything

you can do what you want with
