For what?

Just space.

What am I supposed to say?

I can't really tell them my

Swedish girl joke, you know.

Great. Where did

you get those?

Nice, huh? Molly.

Are they me?

Oh, man. Look at

that, a Testarossa.

Wow.

- Ouch!

- Pay off your Mustang first.

How are you?

He said that it was contagious.

That it was really...

- Yeah.

He said I shouldn't

even be coming in today.

What about the rash?

On your genitals again?

Yeah.

Yeah, right on the genitals.

Basically everywhere.

Got it.

You bet.

I'll do it right now.

Thanks.

Bill, I'll call

is too far out.

Can you get this, man?

Where you guys from

the New York City Ballet?

Almost.

Saved your life!

You sh*t!

You scared me to death.

Why did you do that?

It's better than seeing this gorgeous

body splattered all over the place.

Look out!

Grab it!

Sam, Moll!

Are you guys home?

Carl! Did you invite him?

- Carl!

- What?

Watch your toes.

Where do you want this?

In the bedroom.

God, this place looks great!

Yeah.

You like it, huh?

Like? Like is

hardly the word.

I had no idea it would be

this beautiful. It's incredible.

Molly, what about her?

Why don't you just leave her

there until the other stuff is here.

What are these?

Oh, let me show you.

Will you help

me lift this up?

Wow.

Just finished it.

What do you think?

It's fantastic.

I love it.

Sam, what's this

chair doing here?

What do you mean?

I love that chair.

I know you love this chair,

but we discussed this and...

I've had it forever.

When I watch TV, I sit in it.

This chair is ugly.

- So?

- And it doesn't go with anything.

It goes with me.

You're right, it does.

We'll paint it.

We'll what?

Are you OK?

I'm fine.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Are you worried

about the promotion?

No, not really.

Then what?

Moving in together?

No.

I don't know.

It's...

a lot of things.

I just don't want

the bubble to burst.

It seems like...

whenever anything good

in my life happens

I'm just afraid

I'm going to lose it.

I love you.

I really love you.

Ditto.

The pilot's first report

of trouble was

the blew the number

two engine

the one in the tail of the plane.

It was fully loaded...

Oh, Jesus.

Another one?

Don't watch that.

I should cancel

my LA trip.

These things always

happen in threes.

Sam, get serious!

Besides, you lead

a charmed life.

Yeah, so did they.

It's amazing.

Just like that...

Blackout.

What are you doing?

I couldn't sleep.

Boy.

I really must have

passed out.

What time is it?

It's 2 am.

Oh, no.

I hope it wasn't

a masterpiece.

Well, it's not now.

Can I help?

Yeah.

Put your hands here.

Now get them wet.

Let the clay slide

between your fingers.

Oh, no.

What's the matter?

A glitch.

What's up?

The Greenberg and White accounts,

I can't get in. The macro doesn't work.

I changed it.

- Chaned it? Why?

- I just want to nose around a bit.

Is something wrong?

Can you keep a secret?

Yeah, sure.

What's up?

There's too much money

in these accounts.

Too much money?

That's impossible.

Sam, this is going

to take you hours.

- Let me do this.

- It already has taken me hours.

Well, let me figure

it out for you.

No, it's OK.

It's like a vendetta now.

Thanks, though,

I appreciate it.

OK.

If you start to go
