Where's all my stuff?!

He told me not to tell you.

Tell me what?!

They sold, John.

They all sold.

They all sold?!

- Shh!

Please, don't tell him

I said anything.

Romeo, returns!

Unscathed by your travail,

one would hope!

Mark...

I'm hungry...

How 'bout buying me lunch?

Something simple,

but trendy...

sophisticated...

and expensive.

[John]

I need money.

[Mark]

How can I give you money?

You haven't earned

any money.

Lend it to me.

You know I've already

deducted your portion

from the auction.

And you still owe

me over $5000.

Well, I'm worth it.

I'm good for it.

Did you leave with one

of the female volunteers?

Come on, Mark...

[laughing]

The guests understood.

They did?!

They did not!

[sighs]

The auction went well,

didn't it, Mark?

You have the nerve to leave

with one of the female

volunteers after screwing

her in my toilet!

[John laughing]

You're not backing a loser,

are you, Mark?

All right,

let's talk money, here...

You love me...

You love what I do!

When you do it!

Which hasn't been very

much, of late.

Oh come on,

give me a break.

What do you think, it's

a question of just turning

a switch on or off?

Well, maybe not...

But I know this...

Nothing is going to happen

unless you put yourself

in front of a canvass

and dare yourself!

[sighs]

Not to leave with one of the

female volunteers.

Bravo!

How perceptive!

How astute!

How obnoxious!

You know, there oughtta be

a law against

people like you

being involved with artists.

You're just another form

of pollution, man.

Carelessly, recklessly,

f***ing things up!

[radio announcer]

A Sig Alert has been

announced on the Hollywood

Freeway coming through

the Cahuenga pass.

The one and two lanes

are closed and the

coroner's on the scene.

[John narrating]

I tried to avoid going east

of Lincoln as much

as I could.

In fact, I knew people who

refused to ever go that far

away from the beach,

that far inland.

[radio announcer]

A pilot of a light plane,

his companion and

two small children

were all found

dead earlier today.

[John narrating]

Paul was a friend.

Three bodies have been

found in a creek near San

Bernardino.

[John]

There was one thing that

was clear to each of us...

Paulo Mann saying goodbye

until tomorrow, 6 a.m.

And remember, only you can

prevent death

and destruction.

So beware, take care,

and God bless.

[John]

...That we would always

be there when we

needed each other.

[John]:
You're the good guy.

[Paul]:
And you're the hero.

Listen, uh...

We're splitting the

expense for the divorce.

Hey!

What's she like?!

Your wife!

Oh, Allison?

I don't know, I...

Hot?

- Yeah.

I was immediately attracted

to her immediate availability.

And she, yours, I'm sure.

But of course...

- Ah, well...

You always were an easy

lay.

Well, you know, I try.

Anyway, I told her

that I'd pay her back

half the money for Las

Vegas and the hotel...

Generous!

Well, it's only fair.

And you're totally

broke again.

Still.

That f***ing Mark won't

deal with me honestly

about what's selling,

I mean...

He's so carried away with

this control trip that he's

on...

How much?

What?

Do you need?

Five or six thousand.

Oh....

I-- But I could hold

things off for less...

Yeah, that's the good news.

Can you do it, Paul?

Can you help me out again?

Yeah, a little bit.

Hey!

You're lucky that I'm

a working schmuck!

[John narrating]

Working schmuck.

That's the way Paul

always described himself.

It was his destiny,

he used to say.

Something he inherited from

a long blue collar tradition

that produced them.

He got paid for working

at throwing people

what they really did

need to know.

Somehow, he lived a little

more freely through his

association with me.

He always told me,

I was a hero.

Let me have $100 worth

of lottery tickets.

You pick the numbers.

[smooth jazz ]

[John narrating]

A pure response...

Nothing to stop it.

Nothing to think about, really.

Nothing to fear.

Just hold on...

and go along for the ride.

[knocking on door]

[knocking continues]

[knocking gets louder]

Final divorce papers!

Congratulations,

you're a free man.

Can I buy you a drink?

Yeah sure.

Come on in.

So where do you want it?

The champagne...

Oh yeah, here,

lemme get that for you.

What a nice surprise!

Wasn't expecting anyone!

I worked late.

Yeah?

Haven't seen ya

in a long time.

Nice dress!

So where you

been hiding, huh?

Oh, I've been around.

- Hmm?

[birds chirping]

To marriage.

To divorce.

Whoop!

Ah!

[clears throat]

Look like you're

happy to see me.

I wanna paint you.

Now.

[smooth jazz ]

I don't wanna love.

We both need

the same thing...

To be able to forget

everything else.

The only thing that

matters is now.

[indistinct]

We can lose ourselves

right here.

Right now.

Here's a story

about Wally, okay?

He's a little frog who

likes to eat p*ssy!

I don't wanna hear that!

Oh, you'll hear it

and you'll like it!

[bar chatter continues]

John...

Hey, it's the girl

from the Polaroids!

John, I need to talk

to you outside.

Uh, well come on,

have a drink.

Arnie, you buying?

No, it's important.

I gotta talk to you now.

Arnie's buying.

- No, I don't want a drink.

Ohh... I guess I'll see

you guys later!

[hooting and hollering]

Big guy!

See you later, big guy!

I got it, I got it!

Buckle up for safety, man!

- Don't take too long!

Buckle up,

it's dangerous out there!

Slippery!

So how'd you know I was

at the Baja, hmm?

You left a note for Melissa

on your door.

Ooh, yeah, that's right.

Don't worry, it's still there.

Cool.

I'm um...

We're pregnant.

I knew it.

How?

I just did.

I just thought I'd--

- So what--

Go ahead.

- No, you go ahead.

I'm the only one.

[chuckles]

Yeah.

[softly]

Yeah.

[dog barking]

So, I guess we just...

have it taken care of.

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay...

Look, I...

I know you have to get

back for Melissa, so...

I'll have it taken care of.

Hey, wait a minute!

I'll go with you!

Come on, we started

this thing together!

We might as well

finish it together!

Hear me?!

You can hear me!

You can hear me!

[bottle spills on ground]

[radio announcer]

Fires still burn

in the Los Padres

National Forest,

threatening 65 homes,

as the wind-swept flames

pushed firefighters back

in their, what are so far,

losing efforts

to contain the holocaust.

Homeowners in the area

are beginning to lose all

hope of containment.

[John narrating]

I wanna set you guys free,

but they tell me you'll die.

That you can't make it out

there in the world anymore.

So we're both stuck...

I guess.

This has gotta be wrong.

[woman over intercom]

Can I help you?

Yeah, I'm sorry

to bother you,

but I'm looking for McKenzie,

Allison McKenzie.

Who's calling?

John Madler.

Does she know you?

Yeah, we used

to be married!

What is this place?

It's my family's home.

You mean, people

actually live here?

You actually live here?
