tomorrow, huh?

It is tomorrow.

Oh, I love you!

I've always loved you!

- Oh, I'm sorry!

- No, no, I love it! I love it!

- What are you doing?

- Nothing. Where is this thing?

- It's in the front.

- Okay. Wait.

I broke your shower!

I gave him a key.

I'm only gonna ask you this once.

Did you tell Leslie

about my screwing around?

No.

I believe you.

I want you to know that I believe you,

and I'm sorry I hit you.

I don't think...

...that I am ever gonna be able

to get Leslie back.

Buddy...

...I kind of got some company.

Oh, Jesus.

- I'm sorry.

- It's all right.

- I never thought...

- I'll call you tomorrow.

- I never thought it was possible.

- Let me call you.

- Hey, just a minute. Tell me.

- What?

- Is it the fat chick from the party?

- Let me call you later.

Come on. Come on.

I have to know.

Is it the fat chick from the party?

It's not the fat chick.

No way that this is happening.

It happened.

- Alec...

- Shut up!

Where is Kirby Keager?

He took my new car.

It started!

You better hurry up before

it starts snowing again.

So drive carefully.

Nice meeting you.

Honey, I'll get the camera,

and we'll take a photo of you guys.

I don't really know you that well,

but you seem like a fine person.

And I want you to know

I'm flattered by all this.

Deep down, I'm sure for a long time...

...I'll wonder if maybe

this isn't my loss.

Smile.

There you are.

Later, dude.

Hi, Daddy.

This is some neighborhood.

Did you get your car fixed?

I got a personal letter

from Lee Iacocca.

I did.

They fixed everything for nothing.

Good.

But I can't keep it.

I can't drive that car and work

with people who can't afford to eat.

Keep the car.

You and Howie will need it.

Well, Daddy...

...I'm giving Howie back too.

I don't love Howie.

Well, we learn to love.

I mean, there's marriage

and there's family...

...and the family business.

That's what's important.

I have my own job.

And I want to get my own apartment.

But you can keep your job

until you're pregnant.

I mean, Howie's a fine boy...

...and I don't think

you need your own apartment.

- Do you ever hear me?

- Well, I do.

I don't love Howie.

I don't love him.

I love Billy.

Billy from the roof?

I took off work because

I thought you wouldn't be here.

I'm sick.

What's wrong?

Just sickness.

You can't have the Pretenders album.

- That's mine.

- I bought it.

You did not!

You can have all the Billy Joels.

Except The Stranger.

I'm taking Thriller...

...and Mahler's Ninth.

Kevin is so fond of Mahler.

I moved in with Jules.

Oh, how nice.

Roomies again.

No Springsteen leaves this house!

You can have all the Carly Simons.

You got me those for Valentine's Day.

Remember Valentine's?

You ran out on this relationship.

Take the consequences.

I didn't run out on anything.

You ran out.

- You f***ed Kevin!

- You f***ed many!

Nameless, faceless many!

I feel much better now.

Thanks.

You're not taking The Police...

Anyway, I didn't just f*** Kevin!

I was confused and angry,

and I care about him deeply.

Get your clothes,

give me the keys and get out!

Now!

I can't believe

this is happening to us.

Wasted love!

God, I just wish

I could get it back!

You did it!

I think I'll probably

be back doing obits tomorrow.

You're gonna attract

a lot of attention with this.

You think?

It's because of you.

I couldn't write anything till you.

What?

Don't you guys ever use a bed?

I'm gonna show Jules your piece.

Wait, wait, wait.

What?

Kevin has his first byline.

Really? That's great.

Let me see.

"Housing in Maryland"?

- The other piece.

- "The Meaning of Life."

Forrester's waiting. Did the hospital

call? Did my step-monster die?

- He's waiting.

- I want to meet him.

Not now, but I'll have him wave up.

- She's out of control.

- Since the day we met her.

Who is that?

Jules' boss and lover.

International banking

has gotten sexier.

Speaking of which, not to get ahead

of myself, but I was thinking...

...maybe we'd get a place together.

What?

I know it's fast,

but I also know I love you.

Sex isn't love.

What's that mean?

That means that you were sitting there

with all these feelings...

...incredible feelings, tied up

in a box with my pictures.

And I needed to break away from Alec.

I'm not proud of my behavior.

- Hang up.

- Who's that?

That's not Kevin, is it?

You're not with Kevin

playing my records?

Stop it, please.

- Tell him we're moving in together.

- We are not!

So the two of you are

moving in together.

I wish everything could be like

it was, all of us friends.

I don't want to be friends.

I didn't mean that.

I mean, it was an accident.

I'm beginning to think

there aren't any accidents.

And I would really like it...

...if you would just leave.

Okay?

Great.

You were right all along.

- Love sucks.

- Yep.

So you gonna get the old job back?

No way.

Once I'm back in school,

I'll work part-time for a law firm.

Did you know there are

as many students in law school...

...as there are lawyers?

Sounds familiar.

I always thought

we'd be friends forever.

Yeah, well, forever got a lot

shorter suddenly, didn't it?

Okay, call Mary Dusit at that number.

Yeah, I'll call.

I'll call you back.

I'm sorry to bother you here.

Did you forget one of your albums?

It's Jules.

After she left for work

this morning...

...some finance company came

and took everything.

I couldn't reach her,

so I went over to her office.

She's been pretending

to go to work...

...telling me she's having

an affair with her boss.

He fired her three weeks ago.

I confronted her,

and she denied everything.

But then she went crazy. And now

she's locked herself in the apartment.

Please, I need your help.

Hi, Jules. Open the door.

- Open the door.

- She's in there.

She's got it deadbolted.

- What's he doing here?

- I called him.

Did you call all your lovers?

Will your high-school prom date

be joining us too?

- What's happening with Jules?

- She's bolted the door.

The fire escape!

Open up!

What are you doing?

- You'll freeze.

- That's the idea.

Jules, honey, it's me!

You're really scaring me now!

The country's falling apart,

but these bars are perfect.

- We need a hacksaw.

- Or an experienced thief.

I'll find Billy.

I was kidding.

He's working at the Amoco station.

I'll see what he's got.

- He's around the corner.

- Billy's working at a gas station?

He needed the money.

You little sh*t!

Here!

What's happening?

- How do you feel now, best friend?

- My notes!

You won't be needing

your notes anymore.

Stop it!

You'll kill him!

This won't solve anything.

Think of your career.

- Stop it!

- After all I've done for you!

I've done a lot for you too.

Pull me up.

What you did for me, you sh*t...

...was steal the woman

that I was gonna marry!

Kirbo, you need any help?

- Quick!

- Help! Alec, pull him up!

Looks pretty out of hand.

Stop it! Do you think this

is helping Jules?
