Hello.
Mr. Brooks, there's a Margo Brofman
on the phone for you.
- Oh, yeah? Put her through.
- Okay.
- Hello?
- Hey, Margo.
I'm giving a surprise party
Sunday night. Can you come?
Who're you gonna surprise?
You.
- Who else is coming?
- Just Felicia and Liz.
Oh, yeah?
- What's the occasion?
- That's the surprise.
- Hey, Mac.
- Nice-looking threads.
- Can I take some roses?
- Help yourself.
Thanks.
Here you go.
Come in, Steve.
Looking good, slick.
- Felicia.
- Hello, Steve.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
And Liz.
- Hi, Steve.
- Hi.
Hey, Margo.
Come on in.
Unbelievable!
Looking good there.
Sexy!
Unbelievable!
Slick, you are something else!
Come on, Margo.
It's my turn.
Oh, yes.
I don't believe this.
I'm sitting here with three
beautiful women who said they hated me.
- I gotta be dreaming.
- We still hate you.
We decided you should be punished
for the way you treat women.
Oh, yeah.
Men like you
just have to be stopped.
How're you gonna stop me?
We're going to kill you.
What a way to die.
Oh, God.
We did it.
We still gotta get him out of
the hot tub and down to the river.
- I don't think I can.
- You have to!
We can't do it without you.
You b*tches.
Where am I?
Purgatory.
- Where's that?
- Between heaven and hell.
What happens now?
On one hand, you've earned enough
credits to get you into heaven.
- Thank God.
- You're welcome.
On the other hand, you've been
so consistently rotten to women...
you deserve to go
straight to hell.
- That's pretty rotten.
- Perfect record. They all hate you.
- All of them?
- As far as I know.
You should know, but...
it's kinda hard for me to believe
there aren't a couple of women--
Right now I'll settle for one.
So I've decided
that you should go back...
and find one female
who truly likes Steve Brooks.
If you find her,
you go to heaven.
If you don 't,
you'll spend eternity in hell.
- Back?
- Unless you have a better suggestion.
Back's fine.
Back's terrific.
Good morning. This is Ross Britain.
It's 8:
00 in the Big Apple.Here's Keith Slaughter
and the Butchers...
pla ying what Jerry Falwell describes
as the devil's music.
Excuse me.
- Yes?
- I wish to lod ge a complaint.
What is it this time?
I have as much ri ght
to Steve Brooks' soul as you do.
That's why I sent him back.
Ifhe can't find one female who
likes him, then his soul is yours.
That's not a fair test.
He'll pick some helpless...
unsuspecting female...
pretend to be everything he's not.
In the end she'll adore him.
And you'll be honor-bound
to admit...
an unregenerate debaucher
into heaven.
What do you suggest?
Teach him a lesson,
and at the same time...
make it impossible for him
to work his macho machinations...
on any more unsuspecting females.
And how do I do that?
Easy.
Make him a woman.
Security.
Okay, Mrs. Wetherspoon.
I'll take care of it
right away.
Some woman's screaming her head off
in Brooks' apartment.
Again?
She didn't sound like the others.
It was bloodcurdling.
- You want I should call SWAT?
- No.
Anybody here?
Are you sure
you don't need a backup?
It's Mac!
Hey, lady. Miss?
I'm up! I'm up!
What time is it?
You okay?
- What the hell happened?
- Easy.
Looks like you fainted
or something.
I guess I must have fainted
or something.
Oh, yeah.
Holy sh*t!
Where's Mr. Brooks?
Where's Mr. Brooks?
- Who are you?
- Where's Mr. Brooks?
Who am I?
How'd you get in here?
How do you know my name?
I never passed you through.
- Al was on duty.
- He didn't tell me.
You sign in?
I don't remember.
All guest are required
to sign the register.
You couldn't have gotten in unless
Mr. Brooks said it was okay...
and you signed that register.
Mr. Brooks must have said it was okay
and I must have signed, right?
Because here I am!
Here I f***ing am!
- I'm not feeling too well.
- Want me to call a doctor?
It's okay.
You know, I just--
I kinda--
I keeled over there
'cause I got some bad news...
but I'm gonna shower, shave.
I'm gonna
pull myself together here.
You know how it is, Mac.
You get up on the wrong side of the bed.
- You haven't brushed you teeth.
- When will Mr. Brooks come back?
Not for a very long time.
- Really?
- Yeah. He, uh--
You see, he told me
that he was going away.
- He's gone away.
- Yeah.
And he asked me
to take care of his apartment.
- You're taking care--
- Yeah. Because--
- Because we're sisters.
- You're sisters?
I'm the sister.
I mean, I'm his half sister.
We have different mothers,
but he gave me his key...
showed me how everything works...
so I'm gonna be fine,
just fine.
- Thanks a lot.
- Sure.
How you doing there,
Mrs. Wetherspoon?
Un-f***ing-believable.
- Hello?
- Hello.
Hey, Walter.
How you doin', buddy?
Who's this?
Who is this?
Okay, look, Walter.
I'm a woman.
Yeah?
It's me, Walter.
I'm a woman.
Is this Connie?
No, it isn't Connie.
It's me.
Okay. Forget it.
I'm a man.
I'm Amanda. I'm Steve's sister.
Wait till you get a load of me.
Steve doesn't have a sister.
Can I talk to Steve, please?
You are--
I mean, you can't.
It's after 1 0:
00.Steve hasn't shown up for work.
Look, it's really complicated.
Why don't you meet me for lunch
and I'll explain it to you.
Steve would have told me
if he had a sister.
No, he wouldn't.
I'll meet you
at the City Grille at 1 :00.
Wait, wait!
How I'm gonna know it's you?
You can't miss me, pal.
I'm blonde, about 5'7".
Built like a brick shithouse.
Desk.
Yes, Mr. Reed.
Hold on a second.
- That's the broad.
- I never passed her by here.
- You let her in?
- No, I didn't. She told me you--
- You let her in?
- No, I didn't. She told me you--
- Morning, May.
- Wait a minute.
- She still in the sack?
- Wait a minute. You can't go up there!
- I'd love a cup of coffee.
- Mrs. Brofman!
Mrs. Brofman, open the door!
What, May?
- Who are you? Get out!
- Are you all right?
Call the police!
Then you could tell them all about
that little party you threw last night.
What?
Divers shouldn't have any trouble
finding the body.
I can just hear
Felicia and Liz now.
Oh, yeah.
"We tried to drown him
in the hot tub, but...
Margo shot him.
Three times in the chest."
Don't call the police.
Forget the police.
- You sure?
- Yes.
All right.
Who are you?
Where's the gun?
Who the hell are you?
Oh, take a good look, Margo.
They say the eyes
are the windows to the soul.
Look into my eyes.
Whose soul do you see?
It's me, Margo-- Steve.
You're crazy!
I picked you because you're a lot
smarter than those other two bimbos.
Also, you believe
that fag psychic of yours...
told you you were Helen ofTroy
in another incarnation.
Way I figure it,
you'd have no trouble believing...
that I am the late, great
Steven Brooks, your ex-lover...
reincarnated as a gorgeous female.
Look deep, Margo.
You better believe it, slick.
'Cause after I borrow a dress
