 JAKE: YOU KNOW, I AM SICK
AND TIRED OF THESE GAMES.
I MEAN, HOW MUCH LONGER AM
I SUPPOSED TO TAKE THIS?
 VICKY: DON'T YOU TALK TO ME
LIKE THAT.
 JAKE: OH, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE
ME TO TALK TO YOU?
WHAT DO YOU WANT, THEN?
 VICKY: WHAT DO I WANT?
 JAKE: WHAT DO YOU WANT?
 VICKY: I'D LIKE A LITTLE
SPACE.
 JAKE: "SPACE."
THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT?
YOU GOT IT.
YOU CAN HAVE ALL THE SPACE
YOU WANT.
AND WHEN YOU START ACTING LIKE
A WIFE, I'LL BE AT THE BAR.
 VICKY: "ACTING LIKE A WIFE"?
 JAKE: ACTING LIKE A WIFE.
 VICKY: MM-HMM. FINE.
 JAKE: FINE.
 VICKY: FINE.
 JAKE: FINE.
MM-HMM. FINE.

 GRANT: I WONDER IF SHE'S ALL
RIGHT.
 CINDY: WHAT, ARE YOU KIDDING?
YOU COULDN'T HURT HER
WITH A BASEBALL BAT.
GRANT, I'M STILL IN THE ROOM.
YOU WANT TO FORGET ABOUT
HER FOR JUST ONE SECOND?
 GRANT: EXCUSE ME A MINUTE.
 CINDY: WHERE DO YOU THINK
YOU ARE GOING?
 GRANT: OH, SHE LOOKS LIKE
SHE COULD USE A FRIEND.
 CINDY: WELL, LET HER FIND
ONE, THEN.
YOU'RE NOT HER FRIEND,
AND SHE IS NOT YOURS.
 GRANT: NOW, NOW,
NOW, DON'T PROJECT.
IT'S VERY UNBECOMING.
 GRANT: CAN I TALK
TO YOU A MINUTE?
 VICKY: UH, SURE.
 JAKE: OK, VICKY.
LET'S SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO.

 LILA: I LOVE YOU,
CASS WINTHROP.
 CASS: OH, LILA.
WHO THE HELL AM I KIDDING.
 LILA: OH, CASS.
 MATT: HEY.
 LILA: OH. HEY.
I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE THERE.
 MATT: WOW, IT'S REALLY
RAINING OUT THERE.
 LILA: YEAH.
 MATT: LISTEN, I SENT OUT
FOR SOME VIDEOS.
I THOUGHT WE COULD -- WELL,
I HOPE I GOT SOMETHING YOU LIKE.
 LILA: FUNNY THING,
YOU KNOW -- YOU AND I,
MARRIED COUPLE WITH A CHILD,
AND YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT
MOVIES I LIKE.
 MATT: WELL, HERE'S MY CHANCE
TO FIND OUT, RIGHT?
YOU WANT SOME PIZZA?
I COULD ORDER A PIZZA.
 LILA: MATT, DON'T.
DON'T DO THIS.
DON'T ACT LIKE WE'RE HAVING SOME
KIND OF COZY EVENING ALONE
TOGETHER AT HOME.
 MATT: WHAT DO YOU WANT ME
TO DO?
 LILA: ACT LIKE WHAT IT IS --
THAT YOU WON'T LET ME OUT
THE DOOR WITH MY BABY,
AND I WON'T LEAVE WITHOUT HER.
THAT DOESN'T EXACTLY MAKE
FOR SOME KIND OF BANG-UP NIGHT.
 MATT: YOU SAID YOU WANTED US
TO BE A FAMILY FOR JASMINE.
NOW THAT WE ARE, I DON'T TAKE
THAT LIGHTLY.
I MEAN, I'M NOT ABOUT TO WALK
OUT ON MY RESPONSIBILITIES
BECAUSE THIS MARRIAGE --
 LILA: IS NOT A MARRIAGE.
MATT, I MEAN, YOU EVEN SAID THAT
YOURSELF.
IT'S NOT A MARRIAGE.
 MATT: IT CAN BE A MARRIAGE.
I MEAN, IT CAN WORK.
WE JUST HAVE TO TRY.
 LILA: NO.
NO, IT CAN'T WORK.
I'M IN LOVE WITH CASS.
AND SOONER OR LATER,
MATT, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO REALIZE THAT, AND YOU'RE
GOING TO HAVE TO LET US GO.
 MATT: YOU CAN GO WHENEVER
YOU WANT.
BUT JASMINE STAYS HERE.

 JORDAN: YOU'RE WORKING LATE
THIS EVENING.
 MARGARET: JUST TRYING TO KEEP
OUR HEADS ABOVE WATER --
OR AT LEAST ABOVE THE PILE
OF LEGAL DOCUMENTS THAT HAVE
COME FLOODING IN.
 JORDAN: OH?
 MARGARET: YEAH, SUBPOENAS,
ORDERS OF PROTECTION -- YOU NAME
IT, WE'VE BEEN SLAPPED WITH IT.
 JORDAN: WINTHROP
AND MONTGOMERY.
WHY AM I NOT SURPRISED.
THAT MAN'S BEEN TROUBLE SINCE
THE BEGINNING.
WELL, NOTHING LASTS FOREVER.
 MARGARET: AND WHO'S THAT?
 JORDAN: HMM.
FRANKIE.
MR. WINTHROP'S DEAR DEPARTED
WIFE.
 MARGARET: DEPARTED?
SHE LOOKS ALIVE AND WELL TO ME.

 MATT: I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL
ABOUT CASS.
AND IT'S PARTLY MY FAULT.
 LILA: NO.
NO, IT'S NOT.
MATT, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH YOU.
 MATT: YEAH, IT DOES.
 LILA: NO.
 MATT: BECAUSE IF I WAS
A BETTER HUSBAND TO YOU,
YOU WOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO TURN
TO SOMEONE ELSE.
 LILA: I DIDN'T TURN TO HIM.
 MATT: LISTEN, I WANT TO BE
THE MAN THAT YOU TURN TO.
JUST GIVE IT A CHANCE.
 LILA: I LOVE HIM.
THAT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE.
 MATT: YOU THINK YOU LOVE HIM
BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T GIVEN US
A CHANCE.
I MEAN, IF WE NEED COUNSELING,
WE'LL GET COUNSELING.
 LILA: "COUNSELING."
COUNSELING ISN'T GOING TO CHANGE
THE WAY I FEEL ABOUT HIM, MATT.
 MATT: LISTEN, WE MADE
A SERIOUS COMMITMENT TO EACH
OTHER, TO OUR CHILD.
YOU'RE GOING TO FIGHT THAT?
IT'S A FIGHT YOU CAN'T WIN.
 LILA: WHAT, ARE YOU
THREATENING ME?
 MATT: LILA, I WOULD NEVER
THREATEN YOU.
BUT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT
JASMINE IS STAYING HERE WITH ME.
 LILA: AND WHAT ABOUT ME?
 MATT: I WANT YOU HERE.
BUT YOU'RE FREE TO GO.
 LILA: WHILE YOU FIGHT
FOR SOLE CUSTODY, RIGHT?
 MATT: I'M NOT EVEN THINKING
ABOUT THAT.
LISTEN -- LISTEN.
I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT THAT
BECAUSE I KNOW WHEN YOU CALM
DOWN, WHEN YOU LOOK
AT EVERYTHING, YOU'LL REALIZE
THAT IT'S NOT LOVE YOU'RE
FEELING FOR CASS.
IT'S --
IT'S CONFUSION.
IT'S -- IT WAS A KISS.
A TOUCH.
IT HAPPENS.
YOU GET SWEPT OFF YOUR FEET.
I MEAN, YOU WERE PROBABLY
STANDING JUST INCHES AWAY,
JUST LIKE THIS.
AND YOU WEREN'T THINKING.
I CAN SEE HOW THAT COULD HAPPEN.
 LILA: YOU CAN?
 MATT: YES.
AND I CAN SEE HOW IT COULD
HAPPEN AGAIN.
WITH ME.

 LILA: WAIT.
WAIT. WAIT.
 MATT: WHAT'S GOING ON?
 LILA: NO. WAIT.
WAIT! PLEASE WAIT.
 MATT: LILA --
 LILA: MATT, I --
I THOUGHT I SAW SOMEONE.
 MATT: WHATEVER IT IS,
IT'S GONE NOW.
COME ON.
BACK INSIDE.
 LILA: OH, MY GOD.
WHAT HAVE I DONE NOW?

 JORDAN: CASS WINTHROP HAS
INTERFERED FAR TOO MANY TIMES
AS IT IS.
BUT ALL THAT'S ABOUT TO COME
TO AN END.
 MARGARET: YOU FOUND A WAY
TO STOP HIM?
 JORDAN: EVERYONE HAS
THEIR VULNERABLE PLACE.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS
CONCENTRATE AND YOU'LL FIND IT.
THERE'S NO LIMIT TO THE POWER
OF THE HUMAN MIND IF YOU KNOW
HOW TO USE IT.
 MARGARET: WHAT ARE YOU TRYING
TO SAY?
 JORDAN: WHAT IF I TOLD
YOU THERE'S NO SUCH THING
AS DEATH?
IT'S ALL SCIENTIFIC, REALLY.
IF MATTER CAN BE NEITHER CREATED
NOR DESTROYED, BUT ONLY CHANGED
INTO A DIFFERENT FORM --
 MARGARET: WELL, YOU'RE NOT
TRYING TO SAY THAT YOU COULD
ACTUALLY --
RAISE THE DEAD?
 JORDAN: NOT MY WORDS, NO.
BUT FOR ALL INTENTS
AND PURPOSES, YES.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M GOING
TO DO.

 GRANT: IS EVERYTHING ALL
RIGHT?
 VICKY: OH, YEAH. PEACHY.
CAN'T YOU TELL?
 GRANT: IS THERE ANYTHING
I CAN DO TO HELP?
 VICKY: NO, I --
THANK YOU, I CAN HANDLE IT.
I JUST -- I SHOT MY MOUTH OFF.
HE GOT MAD.
IT'S JUST A LITTLE SPAT.
I CAN HANDLE IT.
THAT'S ALL.
 GRANT: DOESN'T GIVE HIM
THE RIGHT TO BERATE
YOU IN A PUBLIC PLACE.
 VICKY: OH, PLEASE.
PLEASE, JUST GIVE HIM A BREAK,
OK?
HE SPENT WEEKS WORRYING ABOUT
ME, WONDERING IF I WAS GOING
TO BE OK.
I MEAN -- IN A WAY, IT'S KIND
OF LIKE PART OF HIM HASN'T
RECOVERED YET.
 GRANT: HOW DO YOU MEAN?
 VICKY: I DON'T KNOW.
YOU KNOW, MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT.
I MEAN, IT'S LIKE HE'S TREATING
ME LIKE I'M SOME SORT OF FRAGILE
CREATURE, YOU KNOW, LIKE I'M
GOING TO BREAK.
THAT IS NOT ME, YOU KNOW?
 GRANT: BELIEVE ME, I KNOW.
 VICKY: I MEAN, I FEEL
LIKE HE'S HOLDING ME HOSTAGE.
 GRANT: HAVE YOU TRIED
EXPLAINING THAT TO HIM?
 VICKY: TRIED AND FAILED.
YOU SAW HOW HE REACTED.
 GRANT: LIKE HE DID JUST NOW.
 VICKY: I MEAN, I KNOW
HE LOVES ME.
HE WAS SCARED TO DEATH FOR ME.
AND IT IS NORMAL THAT HE WOULD
HAVE SOME KIND OF A REACTION
WHEN I CAME HOME.
 GRANT: HE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL
THAT YOU'RE BACK AND HEALTHY.
IF THE MAN HAD ANY SENSE,
HE'D CELEBRATE SOMETHING LIKE
THAT.
 VICKY: BUT IT'S NOT ALL
HIS FAULT.
I MEAN, MAYBE IT'S NOT FAIR
OF ME TO ASK HIM TO BE THE SAME
MAN RIGHT NOW.
I DON'T KNOW.
I JUST -- I NEED SOMEBODY
TO TALK TO, SOMEBODY WHO KNOWS
WHAT I'M FEELING, WHAT I NEED.
I DON'T KNOW.
 GRANT: YOU CAN ALWAYS COUNT
ON ME.
 VICKY: OH, I DON'T THINK
I COULD DO THAT.
I COULDN'T.

 JAKE: OK, VICKY.
ENOUGH'S ENOUGH.
 CINDY: EXCUSE ME, JAKE.
UH --
 JAKE: SORRY.
I JUST THINK THAT'S THE LAST
PLACE YOU NEED TO BE RIGHT NOW.

 VICKY: THANK YOU.
 CINDY: I SAID EXCUSE ME --
EXCUSE ME.
 JAKE: SUIT YOURSELF.
YOU KNOW SOMETHING?
YOU WANT TO THROW YOURSELF
AT A GUY WHO'S DRIPPING SYMPATHY
OVER ANOTHER WOMAN?
THAT'S FINE.
 CINDY: THAT'S YOUR WIFE HE'S
DRIPPING ON.
 JAKE: DON'T REMIND ME.
NOW, YOU WANT TO MAKE A FOOL
OF YOURSELF, KNOCK YOURSELF OUT.
WELL, DO YOU WANT TO STAND WHILE
THE TRAFFIC ACCIDENT HAPPENS,
OR WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE
A DRINK?
GRANT IS TAKING CARE OF HER.
WHY DON'T YOU LET SOMEBODY
TAKE CARE OF YOU?
 CINDY: YEAH.
YEAH, WHY DON'T I.
 GRANT: YOU KNOW,
OUR RELATIONSHIP HAS ALWAYS BEEN
DIFFICULT AT BEST.
 VICKY: A MINEFIELD.
 GRANT: BUT I ALWAYS HOPED
THAT WE COULD SOMEHOW MOVE
BEYOND THAT.
 VICKY: WELL, YEAH.
YEAH.
FOR KIRKLAND'S SAKE.
 GRANT: I ALWAYS HOPED THAT
YOU COULD SEE ME LIKE KIRKLAND
SEES ME.
BECAUSE I'M A GOOD FATHER.
 VICKY: WELL, I KNOW YOU ARE.
KIRKLAND ADORES YOU.
 GRANT: AND I'M A GOOD MAN.
I AM.
I'D LIKE TO THINK THAT I COULD
BE SOMEBODY YOU COULD TURN
TO BECAUSE I PROMISE
YOU YOU WOULDN'T REGRET IT.
 JAKE: SO WOULD YOU LIKE
A COSMOPOLITAN?
THEY'RE CUTE, SOPHISTICATED,
AND THEY PACK A PUNCH, JUST LIKE
YOU.
 CINDY: WHY ARE YOU DOING
THIS?
 JAKE: I DON'T KNOW, YOU JUST
LOOK LIKE YOU COULD USE A DRINK,
THAT'S ALL.
I'LL HAVE A SCOTCH.
MAKE IT A DOUBLE.
 CINDY: SO WHAT HAPPENED?
 JAKE: TO WHAT?
 CINDY: YOU AND VICKY?
 JAKE: NOPE.
YOU WANT TO HAVE A DRINK,
THAT'S FINE, BUT I'M NOT GOING
TO SIT HERE AND CRY
INTO MY SCOTCH.
 CINDY: OK. WHATEVER.
 JAKE: ALL RIGHT,
THAT'S ENOUGH.
GRANT, WHAT ARE YOU --
WHAT ARE YOU PULLING?
 VICKY: JAKE, GRANT WAS JUST
TRYING TO --
 JAKE: I KNOW WHAT HE WAS
TRYING TO DO.
YOU TRY IT AGAIN, AND I'LL KNOCK
YOUR LIGHTS OUT.
 GRANT: SO THIS IS WHAT
YOU HAVE TO PUT UP WITH.
 JAKE: LET'S GO HOME NOW.
 VICKY: YOU'RE CREATING
A SCENE.
 JAKE: LET'S GO NOW.
 GRANT: NO, COME ON.
WAIT A MINUTE.
 JAKE: IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD
FOR YOU, YOU'LL STAY OUT
OF THIS.
 VICKY: SORRY, GRANT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOR EVERYTHING.
 GRANT: ANYTIME. ANYTIME.
 CINDY: "ANYTIME"?
WHAT DID YOU DO --
DRY HER EYES, BLOW HER NOSE?
THAT'S TOUCHING.
THAT'S SO TOUCHING I COULD PUKE.
 GRANT: I SHOWED HER SOME
CONSIDERATION.
SHE'S IN NEED.
 CINDY: YEAH, WELL, WHAT ABOUT
ME AND WHAT I NEED?
I NEED DINNER.
 GRANT: I'VE LOST MY APPETITE.
BUT DON'T LET ME STOP YOU.

[THUNDER]
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
 LILA: OH, CASS.
COME ON, PICK UP.
 MATT: IS EVERYTHING ALL
RIGHT?
 LILA: YES, YES, YES.
YOU KNOW HOW JUMPY I GET
DURING A STORM.
HI, SWEETHEART.
HEY.
HOW'S MAMA'S LITTLE GIRL?
 MATT: WELL, SHE HAD HER BATH
AND BOTTLE.
NOW SHE'S READY TO SLEEP.
 LILA: OH, GOOD.
WELL, I'LL TAKE HER UP.
 MATT: ACTUALLY, I'M GOING
TO TAKE HER AND PUT
HER IN MY ROOM TONIGHT.
 LILA: WHY WOULD YOU PUT
HER IN YOUR ROOM?
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU DON'T TRUST
ME?
 MATT: OF COURSE I TRUST YOU.
IT'S JUST THAT IF SOMEONE'S
LURKING OUT ON THE TERRACE,
I'D FEEL BETTER IF SHE'S WITH ME
TONIGHT.
 LILA: SHE'LL BE FINE WITH ME,
MATT.
 MATT: LISTEN, WHEN'S THE LAST
TIME YOU GOT A GOOD NIGHT'S
SLEEP, HMM?
WE'RE IN THIS TOGETHER,
AREN'T WE?
 LILA: YES, OF COURSE WE ARE.
 MATT: WELL, THEN GET A GOOD
NIGHT'S SLEEP.
THINK ABOUT OUR FUTURE.
 LILA: SWEETHEART.
YOU SLEEP TIGHT.
MAMA LOVES YOU.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.
AND I WILL SEE YOU FIRST THING
IN THE MORNING.
FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.
 MATT: LISTEN, ABOUT THAT KISS
EARLIER --
I KNOW IT DIDN'T CHANGE
ANYTHING.
BUT THINGS WILL CHANGE.
THEY WILL.
 LILA: MATT --
 MATT: I KNOW WHAT I WANT.
 LILA: WHAT DID THEY DO TO HIM
AT LUMINA?
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
 LILA: COME ON, CASS.
PLEASE.
 CASS: HELLO?
 LILA: CASS.
HI.
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO REACH YOU,
BUT I KEEP GETTING THAT INFERNAL
ANSWERING MACHINE, AND --
 CASS: YEAH, I KNOW.
 LILA: WHY DIDN'T YOU PICK UP?
 CASS: YOU KNOW WHY.
I SAW YOU KISS HIM.
 LILA: CASS, HE KISSED ME.
I DIDN'T WANT HIM TO, HONEST.
 CASS: WELL, YOU DIDN'T TRY
TOO HARD TO STOP HIM.
 LILA: THE ONLY REASON I'M
IN THIS HOUSE IS BECAUSE
OF JASMINE.
I LOVE YOU.
DO YOU HEAR ME?
I LOVE YOU.
 CASS: BUT WHEN YOU CAN'T BE
WITH THE ONE YOU LOVE,
HONEY, LOVE THE ONE YOU'RE WITH.
 LILA: OH.
STOP IT, WILL YOU?
YOU'RE ACTING LIKE A JEALOUS
FOOL.
YOU KNOW THAT?
 CASS: GOOD-BYE, MRS. CORY.
 LILA: CASS. CASS?
CA--
I DON'T BELIEVE THIS.
FINE, IF THAT'S THE WAY YOU WANT
TO PLAY IT.
THAT'S FINE WITH ME.
[THUNDER]
 LILA: OK, LILA.
IT'S ONLY THUNDER.
YOU CAN DO THIS.
YOU CAN DO THIS.

 GRANT: DID YOU ENJOY YOURSELF
TONIGHT?
 CINDY: OH, WATCHING YOU MAKE
AN IDIOT OF YOURSELF FAWNING
OVER VICKY -- YEAH,
THAT'S A GOOD TIME.
 GRANT: YOU KNOW, I'M FULLY
RECOVERED.
THERE'S NO REASON THAT YOU CAN'T
GO BACK TO THAT ROOM OF YOURS
IN THE -- WHAT IS IT,
THE -- PIANO FACTORY.
 CINDY: IT'S RENTED.
BESIDES, WHO'D STOP
YOU FROM MAKING AN IDIOT
OF YOURSELF?
 GRANT: WELL, MY PRESENCE
WASN'T EXACTLY UNWELCOME,
AS YOU AND YOUR NEW DRINKING
COMPANION COULD TELL.
 CINDY: GROW UP.
GRANT, THIS IS VICKY WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT -- THE WOMAN WHO'S
ALWAYS TRYING TO PUT
YOU IN JAIL?
IF SHE WANTS TO BE YOUR FRIEND,
THEN SOMETHING'S WRONG.
 GRANT: YOU KNOW,
THIS JEALOUSY OF YOURS IS
REALLY --
 CINDY: NO, LISTEN.
I'M THE ONE TRYING TO KEEP
YOU OUT OF JAIL, YOU MORON.
 GRANT: MAYBE YOU SHOULD SPEND
LESS TIME WORRYING ABOUT ME
AND VICTORIA AND MORE TIME
WORRYING ABOUT WHAT YOU LACK.
 CINDY: I THOUGHT YOU WERE
GOING TO BED.
 GRANT: I'VE CHANGED MY MIND.
 CINDY: WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
 GRANT: IN CASE YOU'VE
FORGOTTEN, WE'RE NO LONGER
MARRIED.
SO WHY DON'T YOU USE THIS
OPPORTUNITY TO PACK.
 CINDY: HEY, I NURSED YOU BACK
TO HEALTH.
I'M THE REASON THAT YOU'RE EVEN
ON YOUR FEET TO WALK OUT
THE DOOR.
 GRANT: OH.
HAVE I FAILED TO THANK YOU?
HAVE I FAILED TO PAY YOU?
THERE'S NO NEED TO BE HERE WHEN
I GET BACK.
 CINDY: GRANT --
GRANT.
OH, COME ON.

 LILA: I HATE STORMS.
NOBODY KNOWS THAT BETTER THAN
YOU, CASS.
AND IF YOU CLOSE THIS DOOR,
I SWEAR I WILL KICK IT IN.
YOU HAD BETTER LISTEN AND LISTEN
TO ME GOOD.
 CASS: YOU'RE PRETTY HARD
TO RESIST WHEN YOU LOOK LIKE
THIS, YOU KNOW.
 LILA: CASS.
YOU HUNG UP ON ME.
 CASS: LILA, I DIDN'T WANT
TO INTERRUPT YOUR EVENING.
 LILA: BEFORE MATT KISSED ME,
HE WAS TALKING ABOUT JASMINE --
HOW HE WOULD NEVER LET HER GO,
AND HOW IF I FOUGHT HIM THAT
I WOULD LOSE, CASS.
HE WAS BASICALLY TALKING ABOUT
TAKING MY BABY AWAY FROM ME.
AND HE'S SO LUMINIZED,
I'M AFRAID HE MIGHT ACTUALLY DO
IT.
 CASS: THAT'S WHY I TOLD
YOU NOT TO MOVE OUT,
BUT I CERTAINLY DIDN'T EXPECT
YOU TO START PLAYING HOUSE
WITH HIM AS SOON AS I TURNED
MY BACK.
 LILA: I DIDN'T WANT HIM
TO TOUCH ME, CASS.
HONEST, I DIDN'T.
IT'S JUST THAT I DIDN'T WANT
TO MAKE THINGS ANY WORSE.
HE WANTED TO KISS ME, AND I KNEW
THAT HE WOULD STOP THERE,
SO I JUST LET HIM.
I'M SORRY.
I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU,
BUT I DON'T WANT TO LOSE
MY BABY.
YOU KNOW THAT I CAN'T TAKE THAT
AGAIN.
YOU KNOW IT.
 CASS: LILA, YOU DO WHATEVER
YOU HAVE TO DO.
 LILA: I AM.
AND THAT IS WHY I CAME HERE
TO SEE YOU.
DON'T YOU SEE THAT MATT MAY NOT
EVEN LET ME BACK IN THAT DOOR
IF HE KNOWS I'M HERE?
 CASS: WELL, THEN YOU JUST --
WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO HOME.
 LILA: CASS, I WOULD NEVER
HURT YOU.
YOU HAVE GOT TO KNOW THAT.
 CASS: I THOUGHT I DID.
 LILA: WHAT CAN I DO TO PROVE
IT TO YOU?
WHAT CAN I DO?
 LILA: FINE.
FINE, THEN.
NO MORE WORDS.

 JORDAN: "MARY FRANCES FRAME
WINTHROP.
LOVE IS AS STRONG AS DEATH."
SOON YOU WILL KNOW WHAT IT IS
LIKE TO BE HAUNTED AS I HAVE
BEEN HAUNTED, MR. WINTHROP --
HAUNTED BY LOVE, ALL-CONSUMING,
EVERLASTING LOVE.

 VICKY: HONEY, I HATE FIGHTING
WITH YOU, EVEN IF IT IS
FOR A GOOD REASON.
 JAKE: OK, IT'S DONE.
WE'LL LEAVE IT AT THE DOOR.
HOW'S THAT?
 VICKY: GOOD.
UNTIL NEXT TIME.
 KIRKLAND: MOM AND JAKE!
 VICKY: HEY, GUYS.
 JAKE: HEY, GUYS.
 STEVEN: NANA SAID WE COULD
WATCH A VIDEO WHEN YOU GOT HOME.
 JAKE: THANKS, NANA.
 KIRKLAND: AND EAT POPCORN,
TOO.
 VICKY: IS THAT RIGHT.
 JAKE: POPCORN AND A VIDEO.
 VICKY: ALL RIGHT.
I'LL GO MAKE THE POPCORN.
YOU PICK THE MOVIES.
 JAKE: GO PICK A VIDEO.
GO, GO, GO, GO.
[FRENCH ACCENT]
YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE POPCORN?
 VICKY: [FRENCH ACCENT]
THIS I CAN DO.
 JAKE: [NORMAL VOICE]
NO, NO, STAND BACK.
SET IT DOWN.
LET THE EXPERT DO IT.
I'LL SHOW YOU.
YOU SEE, THE THING THAT MOST
PEOPLE NEVER FIGURE OUT IS
POPCORN IS ALL IN THE WRIST.
YOU JUST HAVE TO KNOW TO USE IT.
LIKE THIS.
THERE YOU GO.
 VICKY: [NORMAL VOICE]
JAKE.
OH, THAT'S GREAT.
 STEVEN: NICE MOVE.
 VICKY: COULD YOU SHOW ME HOW
THAT GOES AGAIN?
 JAKE: THAT'S FUNNY.
THAT'S VERY, VERY FUNNY.
GO AHEAD, LAUGH.
LAUGH.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, YOU GUYS
ARE LAUGHING SO MUCH THAT YOU'RE
NOT GOING TO SEE A MOVIE OR EAT
ANY POPCORN.
YOU'RE GOING TO --
 VICKY: NO, COME ON.
THAT'S --
 JAKE: LISTEN TO A GHOST
STORY.
 KIRKLAND: YEAH!
 VICKY: A GHOST STORY.
A GHOST STORY?
THEY'LL NEVER GET TO SLEEP
TONIGHT.
PLEASE, NOT A GHOST STORY.
 KIRKLAND: YEAH, PLEASE.
 STEVEN: OH, MOM, COME ON.
 VICKY: OH, ALL RIGHT.
ONE GHOST STORY.
GO GET THE BLANKETS
AND THE PILLOWS AND EVERYTHING
ELSE.
 JAKE: GET THE BLANKETS
AND THE PILLOWS.
 VICKY: UM --
LOOK, I'VE BEEN THINKING.
IF I COULD JUST SPEND A LITTLE
MORE TIME WITH GRANT --
 JAKE: DON'T THINK.
DON'T START.
 VICKY: BUT EVERYTHING'S
STARTING TO WORK OUT,
FALL INTO PLACE.
AND I REALLY THINK IF I --
 JAKE: LISTEN TO ME.
EVERYTHING STARTS TO FALL
INTO PLACE UNTIL IF FALLS APART
WITH YOU.
 VICKY: OH, COME ON.
[THUNDER]
 VICKY: JAKE, THAT WAS JUST
A COINCIDENCE.
LET'S GO HAVE FUN.
COME ON. HEY, GUYS.
 JAKE: OK, OK.
GATHER ROUND.
LISTEN UP.
LISTEN UP.
IT'S STORY TIME.
 KIRKLAND: NO.
 VICKY: OK, STOP IT.
GO.
 JAKE: ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
HERE YOU GO.
ALL RIGHT.
LISTEN UP
BECAUSE THIS IS THE STORY
OF THE RAZOR-TOOTHED,
HOOK-HANDED VINDA VASHA.
ONCE UPON A TIME, ON A STORMY
NIGHT JUST LIKE THIS NIGHT,
THERE WAS A FAMILY --
[THUNDER]
 JAKE: JUST LIKE OURS.
THEY LIVED IN A COTTAGE LIKE
THIS.
ALL THEY COULD HEAR WAS THE WIND
RIPPING AT THE WINDOWS
AND THE RAIN TEARING
AT THE ROOF.
AND OUT OF THE SILENCE
THEY HEARD FOOTSTEPS -- THUMP,
THUMP, THUMP.
AND A LOUD, RASPY VOICE THAT
SAYS, "I'M THE VINDA VASHA
AND I'M ON YOUR FIRST STEP."
THUMP, THUMP, THUMP.
"I'M THE VINDA VASHA AND I'M
ON YOUR SECOND STEP."
 KIRKLAND: OH, NO!
 STEVEN: HE'S GETTING CLOSER.
 JAKE: BUT NOTHING COULD SAVE
US.
NOTHING COULD SAVE US
BECAUSE THE VINDA VASHA THEN
SAID, "I'M ON YOUR PORCH,
I'M AT YOUR DOOR, AND I SMELL
THE BLOOD OF A FAMILY OF FOUR."
THEN --
THERE WERE THREE LOUD KNOCKS!
 VICKY: AAH!
[THUNDER]
 VICKY: JAKE, CUT IT OUT.
 JAKE: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING
ABOUT?
I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.
 VICKY: ALL RIGHT,
GO GET A FLASHLIGHT.
I DON'T LIKE THIS.
 STEVEN: IT'S THE VINDA VASHA.
 JAKE: GUYS, IT'S JUST
A STORM, OK?
THERE'S NOBODY WHO HAS -- WHO
HAS RAZOR TEETH OR A HOOK HAND,
AND THERE'S NOBODY ON OUR PORCH.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
 ALL: AAH!

 LILA: I LOVE YOU.
I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU,
I LOVE YOU.
 CASS: I KNOW. I KNOW.
 LILA: OH, CASS.
CASS, YOU'RE ALL I EVER THINK
ABOUT, EVERYTHING I EVER DREAM
ABOUT.
EVERYTHING I -- I NEVER EVEN
KNEW I WANTED, NEVER THOUGHT
I COULD HAVE.
AND NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE
THAT.
RIGHT?
 CASS: [IMITATING LILA] RIGHT.
 LILA: AND YOU WERE ACTING
LIKE A JEALOUS IDIOT TONIGHT,
RIGHT?
 CASS: [NORMAL VOICE]
THERE'S A LOT OF REASONS WHY
I DON'T WANT HIM KISSING YOU.
 LILA: CASS, WHAT HE FEELS
FOR ME ISN'T REAL, AND ONE DAY
HE'S GOING TO WAKE UP AND SEE
IT.
AND HE'S GOING TO LET ME
AND JASMINE GO.
 CASS: IF YOU WERE MINE --
 LILA: I AM YOURS.
I BELONG TO YOU.
AND MATT IS JUST GOING TO HAVE
TO UNDERSTAND THAT.
 CASS: BUT UNTIL HE DOES,
WHAT IF HE FINDS YOU HERE?
 LILA: SHH.
I DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT
THAT.
JASMINE IS SAFE.
I'M HERE, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME
IN MY LIFE I HAVE EVERYTHING
I WANT, CASS, BECAUSE I LOVE
YOU.
 CASS: GOD, I LOVE YOU, TOO.
 LILA: DON'T YOU EVER LET ME
GO, YOU HEAR?
 CASS: NEVER.
NEVER.
 LILA: LET ME LOVE YOU, CASS.
NOW
AND FOREVER.
 FRANKIE: "LOVE
IS AS STRONG AS DEATH."

 STEVEN and KIRKLAND: AAH!
 VICKY: IF THESE GUYS ARE UP
ALL NIGHT BECAUSE OF THIS GHOST
STORY, I KNOW SOMEBODY WHO'S
GOING TO BE SLEEPING ALONE.
BOYS, COME HERE.
 JAKE: I'LL GET A FLASHLIGHT.
 STEVEN: MAYBE IT'S THE MAN
WITH HOOKS FOR HANDS AND RAZORS
FOR TEETH.
 KIRKLAND: STOP!
 STEVEN: COMING TO GET US.
 VICKY: YOU SEE WHAT YOU'VE
DONE NOW?
 JAKE: I'VE GOT IT UNDER
CONTROL BECAUSE THE SECRET
MAGICAL SPELL FOR GETTING RID
OF MONSTERS IS THE LIGHT
FROM THE MAGIC TORCH.
[THUNDER]
 ALL: AAH!
 JAKE: I DON'T BELIEVE THIS.
 VICKY: GRANT, SORRY.
 GRANT: YEAH.
 VICKY: PLEASE COME IN.
 STEVEN: IT'S THE MONSTER.
 VICKY: SORRY ABOUT THAT.
 GRANT: IT'S OK.
 KIRKLAND: HI, DAD.
 GRANT: HI.
I WAS DRIVING BY AND I SAW
THE LIGHTS FLICKER OUT,
AND WITH THE STORM AND
EVERYTHING I WAS UPSET,
CONCERNED.
 VICKY: YEAH.
 GRANT: SO --
 JAKE: I WAS JUST TELLING THEM
A GHOST STORY.
YEAH, YOU SPEAK OF THE DEVIL
AND THE DEVIL WILL APPEAR.
 GRANT: AHA. YES.
 VICKY: IT'S OK.
YOU'RE -- PLEASE, YOU'RE WELCOME
TO DROP BY ANYTIME.
 GRANT: OK.
WELL, I HAVE THESE ANIMORPH
BOOKS.
I WON'T STAY LONG, BUT I'VE BEEN
CARRYING THEM AROUND IN MY CAR
THIS WHOLE TIME.
I KNOW KIRKLAND WANTED THOSE,
SO --
 KIRKLAND: COOL! 24 AND 25!
 GRANT: THAT'S RIGHT.
 KIRKLAND: HOW'D YOU KNOW?
 GRANT: WELL, BECAUSE A LITTLE
BIRD TOLD ME.
 VICKY: HOW DID YOU REMEMBER
THAT?
 GRANT: WELL, I REMEMBER
THE IMPORTANT THINGS.
 JAKE: WHY DON'T WE GO GET
ANOTHER FLASHLIGHT, GUYS.
I MEAN, SOME MONSTERS ARE HARDER
TO GET RID OF THAN OTHERS.
GO, GO.
UP, MEN.
 VICKY: SORRY ABOUT THAT.
 GRANT: YEAH.
 VICKY: JAKE'S BEEN, YOU KNOW,
PRETTY PROTECTIVE OF ME LATELY.
 GRANT: YOU ALL RIGHT?
 VICKY: YEAH, YEAH.
HEY, THANKS A LOT FOR BRINGING
THOSE BOOKS OVER.
THAT WAS -- YOU KNOW,
KIRKLAND'S REALLY BEEN BUGGING
ME ABOUT THOSE.
 GRANT: WHATEVER HE NEEDS.
WHATEVER YOU NEED.
JUST -- GIVE ME A CALL.
 VICKY: THANKS.
 GRANT: I'LL TALK TO YOU SOON.
I'LL SEE YOU.
BYE, KIRKLAND.

 LILA: WHERE'S CHARLIE?
 CASS: SHE'S SLEEPING OVER
AT FELICIA'S.
 LILA: GOD BLESS FELICIA.
 CASS: GOD BLESS HER.
 LILA: WHAT IS IT, CASS?
 CASS: NOTHING. IT'S NOTHING.
 LILA: COME ON, TELL ME.
 CASS: THIS IS NOT THE WAY
I WANTED IT TO BE.
LILA, I WANT YOU WITH ALL
MY HEART, BUT AFTER EVERYTHING
YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH --
I WAS JUST HOPING FOR MORE THAN
A BORROWED APARTMENT ON BORROWED
TIME.
I WANT YOU TO HAVE THE BEST
OF EVERYTHING.
 LILA: YOU KNOW WHAT?
ALL MY LIFE, I HAVE KNOWN
THE PRICE OF EVERYTHING
AND THE VALUE OF NOTHING.
WORRYING ABOUT WHAT EVERYTHING
COST OR WHAT EVERYBODY THOUGHT.
THAT IS WHY I WANTED TO LIVE
IN THAT MANSION ON THE HILL.
THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO MARRY
MATTHEW -- BECAUSE I THOUGHT
THAT IF I HAD A FINE NAME
AND A LOT OF MONEY THAT I WOULD
FINALLY BE HAPPY.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
I WASN'T.
BECAUSE THAT LITTLE GIRL WHO HAD
NOTHING AND NO ONE -- WHO WOULD
SELL HER SOUL TO CHANGE
HER LUCK, CASS -- IS DIFFERENT.
IT'S LIKE YOU SAID, YOU KNOW.
ALL THE SAPPHIRES IN THE WORLD
CAN'T BUY HAPPINESS.
I'VE CHANGED
BECAUSE OF JASMINE
AND BECAUSE OF YOU.
 CASS: ME?
 LILA: YES.
YOU.
DON'T YOU SEE?
I MEAN, YOU -- YOU MAKE ME FEEL
THINGS I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD
FEEL, CASS.
YOU MAKE ME DO THINGS THAT
I THOUGHT WERE IMPOSSIBLE.
YOU KNOW MY HEART AND SOUL,
AND YOU
LOVE ME ANYWAY.
DON'T YOU SEE?
YOU GIVE ME HOPE.
SO WE DON'T NEED PARIS.
OR CHAMPAGNE.
WE COULD HAVE TATTERED CLOTHES
AND BE ON A DIRT FLOOR
AND WE WOULD HAVE EVERYTHING
BECAUSE THERE IS NO AMOUNT
OF MONEY THAT CAN BUY WHAT
I FEEL WHEN I LOOK IN YOUR EYES.
 CASS: OH, GOD.
HOW MANY TIMES CAN YOU FALL
IN LOVE WITH THE SAME PERSON ALL
OVER AGAIN?
 LILA: I DON'T KNOW.
WANT TO FIND OUT?

 JAKE: NO, I MEAN IT, VICKY.
I MEAN, ALL BETS ARE OFF.
THIS THING WITH GRANT HAS GONE
WAY TOO FAR.
 VICKY: WHY, BECAUSE HE SHOWED
UP WHEN YOU WERE TELLING A GHOST
STORY?
 JAKE: NO, BECAUSE HE SHOWS UP
ANYTIME HE THINKS HE HAS TO.
 VICKY: BUT IF WE COULD JUST
FIND OUT HOW INVOLVED GRANT
AND CINDY ARE IN MY KIDNAPPING,
THEN WE CAN LEAVE THE WHOLE
THING ALONE, AND WE WON'T HAVE
TO -- WHAT?
 JAKE: WHAT IF SOMEBODY GETS
HURT, VICKY?
YOU KNOW, I ALREADY LOST
YOU ONCE.
I DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH THAT
AGAIN.
 VICKY: I THOUGHT WE WEREN'T
GOING TO TALK ABOUT THIS
ANYMORE.
I MEAN, CAN'T WE JUST --
CAN'T WE JUST FORGET IT?
 JAKE: HOW AM I SUPPOSED
TO FORGET THIS?
 VICKY: UM, LET ME SEE.
I THINK I MIGHT HAVE A LITTLE
IDEA.
YOU SIT DOWN ON THE SOFA.
I CURL UP IN YOUR LAP.
I TELL YOU A LITTLE STORY ABOUT
SOMETHING, AND WE'LL JUST SEE
WHAT COMES UP.
 JAKE: BUT, VICKY --
 VICKY: UH-UH.
NO BUTS.
 JAKE: ALL RIGHT.
WHAT IF THIS TRAPPING GRANT
THING GOES TOO FAR?
 VICKY: GRANT AND CINDY HAVE
ALREADY GIVEN IT THEIR BEST
SHOT, AND WE'RE STILL HERE.
NOW, YOU JUST RELAX, ALL RIGHT?
LET ME TAKE OF YOU.
 JAKE: MM-HMM.
 VICKY: EVERYTHING'S GOING
TO BE FINE.
DON'T YOU BELIEVE ME?
 JAKE: MMM.
 VICKY: HMM?
 JAKE: WELL, IF YOU PUT IT
LIKE THAT, HOW COULD I DISAGREE?

 CINDY: HI.
 GRANT: YOU'RE STILL HERE?
 CINDY: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED?
 GRANT: IF YOU MUST KNOW, YES.
 CINDY: THIS IS WHAT VICTORIA
WANTS.
YOU KNOW THAT, RIGHT?
 GRANT: YOU KNOW,
IF YOU INSIST ON WALLOWING
IN THIS JEALOUSY, YOU'RE GOING
TO HAVE TO DO IT ALONE.
I'M GOING TO BED.
 CINDY: OK. GOOD NIGHT.
SWEET DREAMS.
YOU'LL REGRET IT, GRANT.
YOU'LL BE VERY SORRY THAT
YOU EVER LIED TO ME OR HURT ME.
OR TRUSTED VICTORIA.
I WILL GET YOU, GRANT,
AND YOUR LITTLE VICTORIA, TOO.
YOU HAVE GOT IT COMING TO YOU.

 MATT: OH, I THINK MY LITTLE
GIRL'S A NIGHT OWL.
KEEPING ME UP, AREN'T YOU?
WELL, YOU CAN APPRECIATE THAT
WHEN YOU'RE STUDYING FOR FINALS
SOMEDAY.
YEAH.
LET'S CHECK ON MOM.
LILA?
WELL, I TOLD YOU SHE WAS TIRED.
LILA?
USUALLY ONE PEEP FROM
YOU AND SHE'S UP LIKE A SHOT.
