- Yes, Winston. We're cool.

Chaz.

We're cool about the computers, right?

Avery Price.

- Lucinda.

- You mean Lucinda Harris?

Yeah. Could you tell her

it's Charles Schine?

Ill put you through to her office.

- Charles.

- Hey.

We have this beautiful house

in Lake Forest,

just the kind of house

I dreamed about as a kid.

What's your husband do?

- He golfs.

- For a living?

He wishes.

No, he's a broker. We met at Stanford.

He's up at 3am so he can be

in the offices when London opens.

We also have an apartment in the city.

He stays there during the week

to avoid the commute,

and of course,

the weekends are for golf.

So when do you see each other?

The usuals.

Birthdays, Christmases.

We communicate mainly via Hallmark.

But hey, I have a beautiful,

wonderful baby girl, so there.

Deanna!

Amy. Amy!

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me, sweetheart?

Breathe. Breathe, Amy.

Breathe. There you go.

Daddy's here. It's OK.

Everything's OK. Daddy's here.

There you go.

There you go, sweetheart.

Stay with me.

There you go. There you go.

It's OK, sweetheart. It's OK.

Shh.

Amy. There you go.

- It's all right, baby.

- There you go.

- Diabetes?

- Type 1. Worst kind.

We took out

a second mortgage on the house

to get her one of those

mobile dialysis machines

so she doesn't have to go

to the hospital every day.

Cant they, um...?

Cant they give her a new kidney?

They have. Three times.

Her body keeps rejecting them.

There's this new anti-rejection drug

coming out, supposed to be amazing.

Has to be approved,

but they say it's got a 99 percent rate

- of success in the tests so far.

- Expensive?

Like you wouldn't believe.

And, of course,

insurance won't cover it.

Sure. Probably cheaper

to let her suffer, right?

We're OK.

We've been saving for years.

So now we just sit around

and wait for the call.

Hi. Amy, don't let Bernie out.

Hey. You home?

Yeah, just now. What's wrong?

I just got out of Eliot's office.

He slammed me

with some big new account.

I'm gonna be home late,

so, uh, don't wait up.

All right. How come you're

calling from your cell phone?

Amy, your bag's in the back.

I don't know.

I'm just down the hall and wanted

to let you know as soon as possible.

Thanks.

I'm sorry.

It's been kind of hectic lately.

Um, I gotta go.

All right. See ya.

Bye.

Yeah. All right, honey.

Excuse me.

Same again?

I'm drinkin' you under the bar, mister.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- I bet I can do it in three drinks.

- You like to gamble?

Lt's not really gambling

when you never lose.

- I got a bet.

- Really?

Ill bet you $20

that I can kiss you

without ever touching your lips.

- Kiss me?

- Without touching.
