Excuse me.
Wendy Beamish and William Hicks.
They were in a car accident.
Good evening.
Alec Newberry.
Congressman Langston's office.
If I can be of any assistance...
- Congressman who?
- Langston.
Clear, please.
Are they dead?
- Hi, you guys.
- Wendy.
- Wendy. You okay?
- I'm fine.
I'm fine.
The car my dad got me
for graduation is totaled.
Go find Billy.
See if you can sober him up.
and you're paying?
Jules, please.
Is that your date?
No.
That is.
We're dealing with
a first-time offender here.
Miss Beamish won't press charges,
so why not let it slide?
Forget it, counselor.
I wouldn't strike a match
near his blood.
Okay, you're under arrest.
Watch the sax.
Do you believe in premarital sax?
May I assume the accident
left you injury-free?
Billy, four months after graduation...
...and you still act like
every night's a frat party.
Aren't you even a little
concerned about Wendy?
- How bad is it?
- Severe.
She might have exceeded
the limit on her father's VISA.
You're being arrested
for drunk driving.
Drunk, definitely. I don't know
if you can call it driving.
- Are you okay?
- I'm fine.
I'm sorry, Wendy.
Alec, I've got a lot of cash.
Dale?
Dale Biberman.
- Do you remember me?
- Yes, but I'm...
Kirby Keager.
You were a senior
when I started Georgetown.
Right. Kirby. How are you?
I graduated.
I always knew you would.
And I'm a lawyer.
I mean, I'm a waiter...
...studying to become a lawyer.
Dale Biberman.
I can't believe it.
Still like Woody Allen?
I've gotta go.
Nice seeing you.
Don't you worry.
Everything's gonna be all right.
- Hey, thanks for bailing me out.
- Again.
When are you gonna get a car...
...that expresses your lifestyle
as the perfect couple?
Not everyone got recruited out of
school into international banking.
My parents gave me the car. I bet
I was conceived in the back seat.
It's still sticky.
Wait till my father hears
the car is totaled.
Wally, undergrads
sitting at our table?
- Only been there for 10 minutes.
- We've been here four years!
Kirbo, come here.
Where have you been?
It's busy. Where'd you go?
- The hospital.
- What?
- The hospital.
- You sick?
- It was an emergency.
- You could have told me.
- Gonna fire me?
- I fired you last week.
Blinding white light.
Skid.
Tree.
Impact.
I was out of hand! It was a
metaphysical-precision collision.
Was it beautiful for you too, Wendy?
Somebody get me a screwdriver.
And a hammer.
Of course, you do know what it means
to have drunk driving on your record?
I'll never be a cop in D.C.
Wally!
Hi, Wal.
Betrayed.
- So you're not angry?
- No, I'm not angry.
Never trust a woman
who says she isn't angry.
- Tell me about it.
- I'm not.
You're the angry one. I thought
writing for the paper made you happy.
- You should call your wife.
- I'll tell you something, Jules.
Obituaries isn't writing.
All my characters die.
I'd like to write about
the meaning of life.
- You'll get a chance, Kevin.
- Don't hold your breath.
Tommy.
Who's that?
Tommy Bancroft. Senator Hodges'
key guy. I want you to meet him.
- And to be impressive.
- Oh, yes, sir.
The meaning of life,
Kevin, is fun, good times...
...a little H-U-M-O-R.
Don't you enjoy anything anymore?
Like girls?
I enjoy being afraid of Russia.
Russia feels national
worth from our paranoia.
- How's that?
- Good.
Good. I have to check in
- Did you see her?
- Who?
- Dale Biberman.
- Who?
No, I said I'm sorry I woke the baby.
Well, I kind of got
in an accident.
I know I don't have insurance.
Just stop shouting.
I need the phone.
- You gonna ask if I'm okay?
- Give me the phone.
Kevin's here. He says
he wants to say hello.
Hi, Felicia. How you doing?
Me? Oh, you know,
it ain't easy being me.
Will you give Billy a break?
He lost his job today.
- The job Alec got for him?
- Yeah.
- Did you give him any money?
- A little.
Wendy!
I thought you were cutting out
things that don't work in your life.
Doesn't leave much.
I better break this to Alec gently.
This thing with Billy
is too destructive.
Life in the fat lane.
Wendy, you're not fat.
My thighs are fat.
No diet works.
Only way to lose weight
in your thighs is amputation.
- What you need to amputate is Billy.
- I know.
I know, but I can't.
I don't get it.
Me neither.
- How about we cut out of here?
- Well, I came with some girlfriends.
Look, this face seats five.
Excuse me.
Could I see you
in the men's room, please?
Sure. Wait,
it'll just be a second.
Alec.
Alec!
Excuse me.
- What?
- Step into my office.
A little pick-me-up?
All right.
Why didn't you tell me
you lost another job?
For some insane reason,
I thought you'd take it badly.
- Don't drown him. He's a father.
- That's right. You're a father.
When are you gonna grow up?
- This is mature, Al.
- I just get angry...
...because you put
pressure on all of us.
Working for Sen. Pomerantz
wasn't for me.
- I'm so sorry.
- It's all right. The wet look is in.
- A**hole.
- That's Mr. A**hole to you.
- How come they put ice in urinals?
- Tastes better.
If we could find the money, it would
be better to get a longer sofa.
Tommy Bancroft said I could work
on the weekends for Hodges.
