How do you feel?
I'm Dr. Berkus,
Marin County Hospital...
and you are one
very lucky woman, Mrs. Merrick.
I wish I could say the same
for your husband.
No.
We're doing everything we can,
but you have to understand...
he went all the way down
in that car.
He's in a deep coma.
Honey...
it's me, darling.
It's Judith.
Who?
It's me...
Judith.
We call that
psychogenic amnesia.
The patient doesn't know
his name, his family...
his personal history.
Everything else, he remembers...
the year, who's president.
He can drive a car.
He can function professionally.
But anything personal
is out of reach.
For how long?
Could be... a week.
I'm going to have to be honest.
It could also be permanent.
Mexico. Cabo San Lucas...
Our vacation with Jeb
and Jenny last year.
Oh, darling, don't.
I'm so afraid.
There's nothing
to be afraid of.
You're alive.
And you're not alone.
I'll always be with you.
Always.
Do you know who they are?
Sure. You told me.
That's Jeb and Jenny Scott.
She's kind of attractive.
Oh, yeah. She also writes
horoscopes and reads palms.
I take it she's not an active
part of the business.
Her contribution
to Merrick-Scott development...
is to spend Jeb's money so fast
it keeps him hustling.
Hustling?
He's a real killer.
Remember, I told you...
It hurts. It hurts!
You know the therapist said
you have to do this.
They had this on the jukebox...
in that funky little bar
in Mexico.
You put it on so many times...
some drunk offered us
10,000 pesos to give it a rest.
Did we accept?
10,000 pesos is only $5.00.
We were insulted.
Dan, should I tell you...
what I want more than anything?
When we're through here...
I want to go back to Mexico.
Jeb can ride out
the marina development.
That's his baby anyway.
And besides, he owes you, Dan.
We need time together.
Alone.
Sounds OK to me.
After I get back
to San Francisco...
find out where I live,
where I work.
Mexico.
Shall I tell you
what we used to do there...
on that beach at night?
Shall I tell you?
Shall I?
Yes.
Remember?
Yes. Yes, I do.
That's the Transamerica
building, right?
Right, and on the 36th floor...
Merrick-Scott Development.
Oh, wow.
Hey, I know this place.
You really remember?
Well, I don't know...
but I could swear
I've been here before.
Don't say anything.
Hello?
Oh, hi, Jeb.
No. We just got back.
Oh, he's fine.
He's a little tired.
Well...
thanks, Jeb, but you know...
we just want to lie low
for the first few days.
That would be great.
No. I promise.
OK.
Well, maybe next weekend.
OK.
Love to Jenny. Bye.
Dan!
Stop! No! Dan!
Darling, I'm here to help.
Easy.
We were warned
this might happen.
Remember, we're a team.
We'll face this together.
There's something
about this room.
These mirrors
just make me crazy.
I'm so sorry.
let's just go away.
We'll leave tonight
if you want to.
I don't want to go.
Whatever you want.
Careful.
Jesus.
Where'd you get thrown out?
I don't know.
Up there somewhere.
I was pretty smashed, huh?
Well, Jeb's idea of playing host
is soak the guests.
He did everything
but pour it over our heads.
So...
happy New Year.
You know what I like
about amnesia?
What?
Well, after seven years
of marriage...
I get to fall in love with you
all over again.
Oh, Dan.
I mean it.
Hey, was I always
this sentimental?
No, but don't stop.
- Hi.
- Oh, Jenny.
Is something wrong?
No. I was just running
for the phone.
- How's Dan? Is he OK?
- Yes.
Really?
Everything's fine?
Yes. Dan's getting back
to his old routines.
That's great, great news.
Yes.
Back in shape?
Yes, he is.
Yeah.
Yes, he does, Jenny.
He looks great.
He sounds sexier than ever.
So here you are.
into going over there
for dinner tonight...
but I said you weren't
quite ready for it.
Dan?
Is something the matter?
We can go over there
if you want to.
I just thought...
No.
I'd like to go.
Hell of a thing, pal,
when you think about it, huh?
Start a new life,
see everything with a fresh eye.
Kind of like being a kid again.
It definitely has its upside.
Boy, when I think of some of
the things I'd like to forget.
Like the time when I was 15...
I took Mary Louise McBirney...
to Lou Ann's Diner on a date.
I came up two bucks short.
She called her father
to come and bail us out.
He called me
"a pathetic little pissant!"
He spoke like that.
Anyway, he scared
the sh*t out of me.
I couldn't get it up
again for two years.
I was a virgin
until I was seventeen.
Dan, it's so good
to have you home.
I can't even imagine how ghastly
this has been for you.
We really wanted
to visit you...
in the hospital,
but Judith just insisted...
Oh, lord. It wasn't me, Jenny.
It was the doctors.
The psychiatrist
vetoed all visits...
till the surgery was over.
I thought Dan needed...
all the memory stimulation
he could get...
but the doctors
left it all to me.
It's been very strange
and very wonderful.
Like being shipwrecked
on a desert island...
having to rediscover
each other again.
All right. Let's get serious.
When do you think you might
want to, you know...
start phasing your way
back into the office?
Tomorrow.
Look, I didn't mean
to rush you, pal.
I gotta back and forth
to L.A. All week.
Well, l...
No. No. I don't...
you probably forgot...
Forget it.
No, but I feel the sooner
I start, the better.
Find out what kind
of player I am...
or if I'm just dead weight.
I did your chart today, Dan.
Every sign is positive for you.
Do you really think
you're ready for this?
Don't you think I am?
Listen, why don't you
come back in tomorrow morning?
We'll find out.
But right now, come on, pal...
let's us boys go do a brandy
and business, huh?
Honey, why don't you
show Judith...
whatever it is
that you bought today?
In this unreliable
old world, about the...
about the only thing
I can count on for sure...
is that Jenny has been out
hitting the stores.
Well, Jenny,
you buy anything gorgeous?
Who gives a sh*t?
Wait until you see
what we're doing...
with the marina development.
We're gonna clear five big ones
on the first phase alone.
I think I finessed Miller
down at City Hall...
so all we have to do
to get past go...
is be a little creative
on our teamster deal.
- I need to ask you a question.
- Shoot.
Before the accident,
was I having trouble...
with Judith, with my marriage?
We all have trouble
with our marriage.
What we've gotta address...
is how to avoid trouble
with the teamsters.
Jeb, I need to talk,
really talk.
You mentioned divorce
a couple of times...
but you were drinking.
So what?
Jenny threatens divorce
once a month.
I mentioned divorce?
Yeah, that night at the party.
Aw, come on, pal.
You were juiced.
We were all juiced.
Listen, Dan,
you must know that, uh...
you know,
I feel kind of guilty.
I mean...
how was it between Judith
