Everett was with Steve, working out

their position for the IPO this spring.

- Well, of course, that's what I do.

- Really?

Within the Asian market.

Anyway, so lunch led to drinks,

which led to dinner,

and Rachel took off, and, really, that's how

Everett and I spent our first night together,

me putting in my two cents

going over that report.

I just showed Everett a few things

that needed to be done.

Meredith was a real help.

We were just lucky -

both in the right place at the right time.

- Destiny.

- Destiny.

- Right, honey?

- Right.

Well.

- OK, so...

- Here. Let me help you with that.

No, no, no. No, don't trouble yourself.

You're the guest. All right.

Well, then, maybe I'll just wash my hands.

- All right, Ben, come on.

- I'm still working on it, honey.

- I told you this...

- It's in there.

- Mom.

- What?

- Mom, listen. I wanna talk to you.

- Yeah, I'm sure you do.

- There's something I wanna ask you.

- Yeah.

I thought that might be it,

but now's not the time. I...

- Safe.

- Done.

- Open. Opening it out.

- Chest. Hair. Chest hair. No?

- "Billy Don't Be A Hero."

- What?

Thank you.

- That's a song?

- Yes, you've heard it.

- No.

- Whose clue was that? It's not good.

- I wanna go again.

- No, wind it down.

No, no, no, Elizabeth,

Meredith hasn't had a turn yet.

- No, that's all right.

- No, I'll find one.

- Really, I don't...

- Come on. Come on.

- Come on, La Mer.

- There. That one's perfect.

It's a movie.

- Movie.

- No talking.

Amy.

Movie.

Four words. Second word.

Beekeeper.

Ulee's Gold?

Second word.

- Wedding.

- Marriage.

- Ring.

- Bride.

- Princess Bride.

- Four words.

Always a bridesmaid, never a bride.

- No, that's six.

- You know the answer.

- I'm just trying to help.

- Third word.

- Clothes?

- Nylons?

- Style? Apparel?

- Suit?

Fourth word.

It's OK, it's OK. Fourth word.

- I can't believe you're pointing at him.

- What? Who?

- No...

- You're pointing at him.

- Which guy?

- I wasn't pointing at him.

- You still are.

- No, I'm not.

- My God.

- Is he a clue?

Fourth word.

- I wasn't.

- Fourth word.

- Yeah.

- Meredith.

- You guys are such unbelievable jerks.

- Meredith, come on.

- Whatjust happened?

- Fetch that for me, please.

- You don't even know how to read.

- What was the answer?

"The Bride Wore Black."

Thank you, Amy.

Why do you always have

to be such a meanie?

I don't.

What did I ever do to her?

You can't let her run you off like that.

She's getting back at you for taking her room.

Yeah. Some help you were in that department.

The natives would never dream

of letting their god sleep on a couch.

Not when they have me to blame.
