are going to give it to charity.

-You're throwing it out.

-No, I called Goodwill.

-Like garbage.

-No, Amy.

I was afraid of that.

-Let me talk to her.

-Please.

You know, you really should have

talked it over with her first, Jack.

Can I talk to you?

I'm sorry about your friend, Amy.

I really am.

Your father was only trying

to do what's best.

We both were.

I lost my mother too

when I was your age.

I know how it feels.

I know how brave you have to be.

We're a lot alike, you know.

You and me.

Why don't you come inside,

and I'll fix you a cup of tea.

Mr. Henderson, call lab four.

Mr. Henderson, call lab four.

Felice tells me VitaPlan's only been

in business here for five years.

Yes, and we've been quite

successful since we moved.

In fact, it was Felice

who encouraged me...

...to relocate our operations

from South Africa.

It was getting to be a bit

of a struggle down there.

But you know how persuasive

this young lady can be.

-Gordon, you deserve the credit.

-This way.

Thank you.

Hello, Mr. Tobin.

With all the testing the government

makes us do on our vitamins...

...you are looking at the healthiest

monkeys in America.

Beautiful creatures.

Aren't they?

As I was saying...

...I'm building much larger

research laboratory in Charleston.

But unfortunately,

we are way behind schedule.

Well, what seems

to be the problem?

Gordon, you told me you

don't trust your architect.

I think Jack can help you.

She's right.

I'd love for you to look

at the specifications.

Maybe you could work out

some arrangement.

I'm afraid they are not

used to strangers.

They're a little hyper today,

aren't they?

What the--?

Oh, my God.

Hello, Amy.

I'm sorry. Did I scare you?

What were you looking for?

Nothing.

You know, I collect

African talismans.

This one is very rare.

They say it carries the family spirit

down through the generations.

-Would you like to see it?

-No, that's okay.

Amy, if you're curious about me,

all you have to do is ask.

-I'd really like us to be friends.

-Okay.

Okay.

I think Felice got me a shot

at a new contract.

-I want her out of here, Daddy.

-Why?

-I was looking around in her room.

-Amy.

She gives me the creeps.

-You can't just go in--

-Dad, just listen.

I found Heather's sunglasses.

Heather left them behind.

Felice tried to catch you.

They had blood or something

on them.

That's right. The murder weapon.

Come on, Amy.

Felice cut herself

in the kitchen yesterday.

If you're worried about her

taking Mom's place--

No. No, it's not that.

It's something else.

I don't know how to describe it.

It's just instinct.

Don't you feel it?

Honestly, honey, I don't.

I'd better try some hotels.

Maybe someplace

can slip me in tonight.

No. Let me book you

somewhere in the morning.

Believe me, I feel awkward

about this...

...especially after all you've done,

recommending me to Tobin.

But I guess having another

woman in the house right now...

...it's just too hard for Amy.

Don't worry, Jack.

I'm disappointed, but I understand.

Thanks.

Jesus Christ.

Good morning.

-What happened?

-I don't know, honey.

A stray tomcat got

into the kitchen last night.

-You okay?

-Yeah. Just scratches.

Amy...

...your dad and I talked.

I'm booking into the Plaza

this afternoon.

So maybe we can spend a little

more time together on my next visit.

Yeah. Bye.

Gotta run,

or I'm gonna miss the bus.

Amy.

Bye.

I guess I have a teenager

on my hands.

I'm sorry. I'm screwing it up.

I don't know how.

You're doing just fine, Jack.

-Amy, you saw Heather in the hospital.

-Yeah, how gross was she?

You guys are sick.

Good morning,

ladies and gentlemen.

Philosophers used to say:

"The heart of a good man

is the sanctuary of his soul."

Poets thought the heart

was the source of love.

But nowadays, we know the heart

for what it really is:

The amazing engine

of the human body.

Only as big as your fist...

...and weighing less than a pound.

Amy?

Your heart beats 1 00,000

times a day.

Driving blood through the 1 00,000

miles of the pipelines in your body.

Amy?

-Amy?

-What's wrong with her?

I just realized how lonely I've been.

I feel the same.

What's this?

Just a birthmark.

You're very beautiful.

Bless you.

Bless you. She's so beautiful.

Here you go, Dad.

Don't worry, you won't break her.

Brenda.

Excuse me for a second.

Here, get out of that skirt.

You can put these on.

-What happened?

-I don't know.

I wasn't due for another two weeks.

It was like I had my whole

period in about 30 seconds.

-How are you feeling now?

-Weird.

-Maybe we should get a doctor here.

-No.

It was her, Brenda. I know it was.

-Who?

-Felice.

Amy, a lot of things can bring on

early menstruation.

No, it was her. She's been feeding

me all this health-food crap.

I want some Fritos.

I want a f***ing Diet Coke.

There's a machine in the hall. I'll get

you a Coke, but you gotta calm down.

We'll find out what's wrong.

-I shouldn't have bothered you.

-Amy.

-I shouldn't have bothered you.

-Amy.

Sh*t.

Halloran Planning and Building.

-Did I catch you at a bad time?

-No. No problem.

Jack? Gerhard Tobin.

Do you remember

the new research laboratory...

...I'm building in Charleston?

I just fired the architect.

The city planning committee's

meeting tomorrow.

Jack, I want you in on this.

Sounds like a challenge.

Good. I'm sending specifications

to you right now.

You work them up any which way

you want.

And I booked us both

on tonight's redeye flight.

I'll have to work right through.

It'll be a bit primitive.

It'll be better than it is now.

Thank you.

Jack Halloran, I thank you.

Got you!

Oh, my God.

You scared the sh*t out of me.

I'm sorry.

Really, that was a stupid thing to do.

Listen, do you wanna go

somewhere and talk?

-Yeah.

-All right.

Okay.

Okay.

I half think I'm going crazy.

This aunt, Mom hated her,

comes from nowhere...

...with this creepy stuff in her

suitcase, acting like she owns us.

She starts feeding me this gunk

she says is health food.

I feel like I swallowed a blender.

She's got my dad thinking

I'm totally nuts.

My best friend gets trashed, and she

had her sunglasses in her suitcase.

I don't know.

You think I'm an airhead too, huh?

No. No, look, she's bugging you,

and I believe that.

Listen, I'll tell you what.

I'll go to her hotel room

and straighten the b*tch out.

-No.

-No, it won't be--

No, really, please.

This is my problem, okay?

Okay.

-Okay?

-Okay.

All right, now, listen.

The least I can do is

give you a ride home.

-You don't have to.

-I have to.

Okay.

Terry, thanks.

You made me feel a lot better.

Hey, keep your chin up, huh?

You're a nice guy, Terry,

for an airhead.

I'll see you tomorrow.

What are friends for?

Damn it, where the hell

have you been?

-Out with Terry.

-Who's Terry?

-Just a guy I know.

-That's great.

That's great. Father calls to see

how you are because you left sick...
