It's soup.

Not the sou...

The tune you're humming.

What is that?

Oh. Was I humming?

Yeah.

Oh.

You didn't know

you were humming?

No, I didn't know

I was humming.

I knew you were humming.

Mmm.

- You know, I was thinking...

- Don't think. Eat.

I'm serious.

I was... I was thinking

we should get outta here.

Are you sure

you're up for that?

No, I mean, um...

"out of here"

out of here.

I can't be in

this city anymore, Chloe.

It's not healthy.

I wanna go somewhere else

and start all over.

The right way.

With you.

My little lady.

What do you think?

Um...

What's new

How did that romance

Come through

What'd you expect?

You don't return any of my phone calls.

Super let me in.

He mentioned, by the way, he loves

what you're doing with the place,

and I have to agree.

As good

as that looks, I...

I'll just stick

to my glass of wine,

but thanks for the offer.

What, are you mad at me?

I'm on your side.

I'm not mad at you.

I'm just...

I don't have anything

left inside of me.

I don't have the energy

to return my phone calls or...

sit on the couch and talk about

what's going on in my life.

Sorry.

It's the girl.

You know, when we met, I thought

there was something so familiar about her.

I couldn't figure it out,

and then just last night,

it occurred to me how much

she reminded me of your mom.

That's ridiculous.

She does.

You remember your mom.

Before she got depressed,

she had that same sunny,

optimist...

Of course I remember!

I moved on!

You should be trying

to do the same thing, Angelica.

You're not

exactly young anymore.

Maybe you should sit down

and try to figure out

what's really going on in your life,

what you're going to do,

instead of just playing

my wet nurse.

Everybody deals with

heartbreak in their own way.

Some people drink.

Some people eat sweets.

You...

you just push away

everything you love.

And everybody, too.

- Hello.

- Hi.

- Just one.

- Yeah.

- Thanks.

- Thank you.

Thank you very much.

We're gonna take a short intermission.

We'll be right back.

Hey, Frank.

How ya doin'?

- Nate, how ya doin'?

- Good to see you.

- Sounding pretty sharp up there.

- Thank you, thank you.

Yeah.

Frank, what?

I did what I had to do, and that's that.

I'll be fine, okay?

I'll find something else.

All's I'm sayin' is you could have thought

of me before you did something rash.

I have a feeling you'll be okay.

Ah, anyway,

it's good to see that you're back.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

So what's the plan?

I'm not sure.

Look, have you seen

Chloe at all?

No. That girl,

she just vanished.

Anyway, I hope

you've been practicing.

I got you booked here

for next Wednesday.

This is Nate Holden.

Please leave a message.

Nate, it's Angelica.

Forget about

the other night.

There's a new firm looking for a partner,

and they're asking for you.

Hello. Hi.

No, look, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Yeah.

No, I really appreciate it,

Angelica. I do.

Wait a minute. Who?

The crash.

The crash was really

more of a fender bender.

It had

a healthy rebound.

All I did was reinvest

Beretsky's funds

into what pretty much amounted

to the portfolio you created.

It went up 12 percent.

And this...

this I've been planning

for quite some time.

But it was your investments that gave

me the push I needed to make it happen.

I mean, you and I together,

I mean, we could make

an incredibly strong team.

And I know Beretsky

feels the same way.

The only question is...

how do you feel?

- How'd it go?

- Incredibly well.

Now, would you meet me...

at this address tonight?

Here.

What is this?

And in the meantime,

David wants to see you.

- What for?

- Just go on in. He's waiting for you.

Me?

You're gonna be great.

Go on.

He's expecting me.

Why do I let you do the...

- Hey.

- Hi.

Did you, um,

finish up in there?

Does, um, that have anything to do

with this sheet music?

You, um,

love him?

Jesse...

You know,

it's funny when...

I mean, when you think

you've lost everything,

you find out you can, um,

always lose a little more.

Hey...

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

At this time, I'd like to bring

a very special guest up,

personal friend of mine,

Mr. Nate Holden.

Ladies and gentlemen,

please make him feel welcome.

It's his first time

here at The House.

Thank...

Excuse me. Thank you.

Hey. Angelica? Hi.

Oh!

- What a pleasure to meet you.

- Hi. Pleased to meet you.

If the nightingales

could sing like you

They'd sing much sweeter

than they do

For you brought

a new kind of love

- to me

- Hello, let's hear it for Chloe!

Microphone. Yeah.

And if the sandman

brought me dreams of you

I'd want to dream

my whole life through

'Cause you brought

a new kind of love to me

I know that I'm the queen,

you're the king

Still you can

understand

That underneath it all

I'm a girl

And you, you're only a man

I would work

and slave my whole life through

If I could

hurry home to you

'Cause you brought

a new kind of love to me

Yeah.

You brought

a new kind of love

I love you.

I love you, too.

Love walked right in

and drove the shadows away

Love walked right in

and brought my sunniest day

One magic moment

and my heart seemed to know

That love said hello

Though not a word was spoken

One look and I forgot

the gloom of the past

One look and I had found

my future at last

One look and I had found

a world completely new

When love walked in with you

Love walked right in

and drove the shadows away

Love walked right in

and brought my sunniest day

One magic moment

and my heart seemed to know

That love said hello

Though not a word was spoken

One look and I forgot

the gloom of the past

One look and I had found

my future at last

One look and I had found

a world completely new

When love walked in with you
