    Carol meets Tyler at Number 37 for dinner to discuss Tyler's progress. Tyler hands her the disc and she ask what is on it, but he says he hadn't looked at it yet. Tyler continues on and says that he would have gotten more files had Henry not come in. Carol says that she'll up his reward if he can get his hands on those files. He says he'll try again as soon as the office is left unattended. Carol says that she needs the files sooner rather than later and hopes that he can fulfill the job. Tyler says he'll work as fast as he can.

    Dr. Roosevelt comes to see Lynette on her shift at Number 37, asking her how things are going. She says she likes the job and is glad that it is challenging. Gregory then ask how Jim is taking it and she replies by saying he's having a hard time adjusting. Gregory says that in time he'll learn to accept it, but for now she shouldn't be worried about him. Lynette says that he doesn't want there to be any friction in her marriage over a job, she just wants to be able to have a family and a career. Gregory suggest that if it does put a strain on the marriage, that they should come for counseling from him. Lynette says she just might take him up on that offer. He tells her that his door is always open if she needs someone to talk too and she says she's glad that she has someone to talk to.

    Amee is working late at the office when JC comes in and asks her if she wants any company, she says yes and tells him to sit down. She says she's working on more designs for the new furniture line and shows JC some of her sketches, which he says are very good. JC asks her if she likes working for McGregor and she says so far it's been great and she's looking forward to future projects. She asks him what if he likes working for his family and he says that it has it's ups and downs, but he wouldn't work anywhere else. Amee says she knows it must be hard having his mother's family as business rivals, he replies by saying that he's become desensitized to the fact, because all he's ever known is fighting. Amee says she can't imagine what it must be like, JC replies by saying he sometimes have hard time understanding it. JC warn Amee that things can get quite demanding at times, so she should prepare herself for it.

    Norm meets Yvette at the bar in Number 37

    Norm: You had better have a good reason for pulling me out a business meeting.
    Yvette: Rest assured, you'll find what I have to say very satisfactory.
    Norm: All right, let's hear it.
    Yvette: It turns out that our little trip paid off. The lady I talked to in Markham dropped by my house earlier and she said a mouthful.
    Norm: Go on.
    Yvette: It turns out that my dear father started his career committing mortgage fraud.
    Norm: (sarcastically) Nice.
    Yvette: I'll say.
    Norm: Did you find out why he was sending so much money to that address?
    Yvette: That part I haven't figured out yet.
    Norm: Well, I'm sure it was connected to something shady.
    Yvette: My mother sure is in for shock when she hears about what her upstanding, model of citizen husband did.


    Meanwhile at the Donahue mansion, Cody begs Carol not to give in to B.P., saying that such a lowlife has no place in the company. Carol says that she's made up her mind and is going to d whatever she has to keep her family safe, even if it means compromising business principals.

    Cody: Mom, this guy is involved in all sorts of illegal things, even money laundering. If you put him on the board, you're going to be associated with all of that.
    Carol: At this point, I have no other choice.
    Cody: It is all through the papers that I owe him money, if something happens to me, the authorities will know who is responsible. He's not going to take that kind of chance, the feds are already after him and he'd only make it worse on himself by harming me.
    Carol: I cannot take that sort of chance, Cody.
    Cody: I know that you are afraid, but you have got to trust me on this. If you don't give into his demands, he won't have anything to gain by coming after me.
    Carol: Think about what you're saying, this could be life or death.
    Cody: I know what I am saying, so please just trust me on this.

    At McGregor, Joseph comes into Anna's office looking a little upset.

    Anna: What's wrong?
    Joseph: I still haven't found that disk that went missing from the Novi store
    Anna: I didn't think you were still worried about it, after all, it was encrypted.
    Joseph: If it fell into the wrong hands, they'll figure out how to break the code.
    Anna: You mean if someone like Carol got a hold of it?
    Joseph: Who else?
    Anna: Oh, she's always out to get us. It's not like we won't be prepared for any stunt she pulls, we've had enough experience.
    Joseph: Well, we certainly don't want anything floating around that could give her any ammunition.
    Anna: Chances are that the disk is probably tucked away in some file cabinet, it will eventually turn up.
    Joseph: When it comes to Carol, we can't leave anything to chance.

    Meanwhile, Teddy is in an office typing at a computer. On the monitor, a message reads "CD Rom duplication complete".

    Yvette meets with Stephen over the prospect of overriding Anna on the shopping mall project, but he tells her that Andrew had it in his will that the land was to be left alone and that she has little chance of overturning it. She then suggest that the provision could be overturned on the grounds that her father wasn't in his right mind when he added it to the will. Stephen responds by saying that it would be ludicrous and disrespectful to her father's memory to suggest and that he'll have no part of it. He also warns her that dragging it into court would only embarrass her family.

    Edmund and Anna are discussing business when Anna notices Edmund still has a photo of his estranged wife. She asks Edmund if he still misses her since she abandoned him, but he just shrugs and says he isn't sure how to feel about her. Anna tells him it's time to move on with his life and find someone new. He says that he isn't ready to make that step yet and needs time to sort his feelings out.

    Joseph and Trish run into each other Guido's restaurant and Joseph brings up the subject of their divorce. Trish tells him that the divorce was no fault of her own and that it happened because he was more concerned with business than his marriage. Joseph snaps back by saying that she was never patient with him and didn't give him a chance to make things right. She says that their son practically grew up only seeing his father briefly between business trips and that she had to play father and mother to JC. Joseph says that he was only trying to give her and their son the life they deserved and that she was never grateful.

    Carol offers Cody a job to help him get a fresh start, but he tells her he doesn't want to work in the family company. Carol accuses him of being as difficult as ever, but he responds by saying that it's not the right time for him to work with his family. Carol asks him why even even bothered to come back, if he was going to put her through the same stress as he did before he left. Cody tells her that he wanted try and make things right, but it's clear that she doesn't want the same thing.

    Back at Guido's, Lynette and Jim are having dinner and talking. She says that she is rethinking her decision of not pursuing a career, flooring Jim. He says that he doesn't want to have to drop his own career so she can have one, but Lynette says she's not asking him to do that. Jim says that they have two young children who are used to having their mother around and he doesn't want someone else taking care of them. Lynette says that she isn't even sure what she is going to do, but hopes that Jim will support her in what ever she decides. Jim says he can't promise if he will support her or not.

    Trish and Henry hear the gunshot

    Trish: That sounded like a gunshot.
    Henry: I wonder where it came from.

    Trish goes out into the hallway and looks around.

    Trish: Well, I don't see anyone on this floor. I'm going to go upstairs and check on my Mother.
    Henry: Well, I'm coming with you.

    Trish and Henry leaves the office.

    Meanwhile, Carol is coming out of the restroom, when she finds B.P. lying on the floor.

    Carol: My god.

    Carol unlocks her office and attempts to use the phone, but remembers that B.P. yanked the cord out. So she runs back into the hall just as Trish and Henry are coming up the stairs.

    Trish: Mother, I thought I heard a gunshot, so I came up here to check on you.
    Carol: It's that crook B.P. Charles, somebody has shot him.
    Trish: Oh, my god.

    Henry kneels down to check B.P.'s pulse.

    Henry: He's dead.,
    Trish: What was he doing here?
    Carol: He was here making more threats.
    Henry: Well, who was this guy?
    Trish: Cody had gotten himself in some trouble over gambling debts and Mr. Charles was determined to collect on them.
    Carol: I need to call the police.
    Henry: I'll call them.
    Carol: Thank you.

    Henry takes out his cell phone and dials.

    Henry: (into phone) Yeah, I'm calling because a man has just been shot and killed at Donahue Department Stores corporate office. It's urgent, the shooter might still be in the building. You'll send someone right over? Thanks. (hangs up) They are on their way.

    Over at the McGregor estate, Edmund is sitting on the patio alone, when Yvette steps outside and sits in the chair across from him.

    Yvette: You all right?
    Edmund: I'm trying to keep from falling apart right now.
    Yvette: I know this whole ridiculous custody case is hard on you.
    Edmund: I was making progress with Troy and Kevin, I think they finally started to heal and she just had to come back and complicate matters.
    Yvette: Well, she's the type of person who just doesn't know when to leave well enough alone.
    Edmund: She's back in their life now, but if things don't go her way with this case, she's just going to walk out again and devastate those kids once more.
    Yvette: The important thing is you don't let her get custody, she's far from a fit parent. Who knows how the boys would turn out if she raised them? I don't even want to think about it.
    Edmund: Hopefully, the judge will see through her.
    Yvette: If there is anything I can do, just let me know.
    Edmund: Thanks, I need all the support I can get.


    Back at Donahue, the police have arrived and are examining the crime scene.

    Det. Lewis: Now there was no one else on this floor what the time of the shooting, except for you, Mrs. Donahue.
    Carol: That's right, I was in the restroom and when I came out I found him lying on the floor.
    Det. Lewis: You don't mind if I take a look in your office, do you?
    Carol: Not at all.

    Det. Lewis starts to examine Carol's office. He looks in her desk drawer and finds the gun.

    Det. Lewis: Mrs. Donahue, is this yours?
    Carol: Um, it was my late husband'cs, he kept it there for protection.
    Det. Lewis: I need to run a test on this.
    Trish: Officer, my mother would never shoot anyone, it's just not in her nature. Besides, she was in the restroom at the time.
    Det. Lewis: Being in the bathroom isn't a credible defense when there are no witnesses.
    Carol: It's all right, Trish, Det. Lewis is just doing his job.
    Det. Lewis: I'll need for all of you to come down and file a formal statement later on.
    Carol: Will do.

    Det. Lewis leaves

    Trish: Mother, you have got to tell the police about B.P. threatening you.
    Carol: I can't do that, because they would automatically think that I shot the man.
    Trish: Ballistics will prove that the gun hadn't been fired recently.
    Carol: I can't take any chances, I just can't.

    Anna is at Lynette to comfort her after Jim moves out.

    Anna: I can't tell you have sorry I am, this must be so hard on you.
    Lynette: I'm coping pretty well, it's just hard for me to make the children understand.
    Anna: I can imagine, they're too young to have to deal with something like this.
    Lynette: I just keep telling them that their Dad is coming back soon.
    Anna: You don't know that.
    Lynette: It's going to work out.
    Anna: You may hope for it to work out, but you need to prepare yourself and those kids for the worst.
    Lynette: I don't feel that things are that bad yet.
    Anna: Not that yet? The man walked outh, to me that says that the situation has gone bad.
    Lynette: There are times I think about the reality of all this and when I think about what could happen,
    it scares ch
    Anna: Your father always said that there wasn't something right about Jim and I guess he was right.
    Lynette: Mother, Dad's biggest problem with Jim is that he wasn't some wealthy heir.
    Anna: You were raised to strive to be the best and follow your dreams. Jim was content with never being anything
    more than a supermarket checker, so this marriage was bound to have problems some time or other.
    Lynette: I don't need this from you right now, I'm trying to keep myself from breaking down for the sake of my kids
    and all you can do is criticize Jim for not being the kind of person you expect everyone to be.
    Anna: Well, I'm sorry if you don't like it, but I'm telling you exactly what you need hear.
    Lynette: No, you just saw an opport unity to get in your little potshots.
    Anna: It won't be long now before you are going to open your eyes and see that every single thing that I've said is right.

    Anna is in the kitchen at the McGregor Estate and has a copy of the local paper, the headline says "Man shot dead at Donahue Inc." Joseph comes in.

    Anna: Carol finally went over the edge.
    Joseph: Mother, you don't know that she shot that man. I mean, he was a bookie, he probably had all sorts of people after him.
    Anna: But, I heard he was threatening Cody over some gambling debt. That certainly gives her a motive.
    Joseph: Carol is capable of a lot things, I just don't think that murder isn't one of them.
    Anna: There's a first time for everything.
    Joseph: Let's not jump to any conclusions, the police haven't even charged anyone yet.
    Anna: I'm just speculating.

    JC comes into the kitchen.

    JC: She didn't do it.
    Anna: Sweetheart, it's best to let the police make that conclusion.
    JC: Is that why you're sitting here making snap judgments?
    Anna: I'm not judging anyone---
    JC: Sure, you aren't.
    Anna: I don't know why you are trying to defend her, she practically despises you because of your last name.
    Joseph: Mother, that is enough.
    JC: Just forget it, I don' have the time for this, I'm going over to the CoffeeRoom to meet Amee.
    Joseph: I'll see you later.

    JC goes out the back door.

    Joseph: And you wonder why Carol accuses you of trying to turn him against her?
    Anna: I am not going to going to walk on eggshells when it comes to Carol.
    Joseph: But you can stop making comments about her not despises' JC.
    Anna: That's the way I see, it's not like I'm saying without any reason.
    Joseph: The only to reason you have is your own petty little feud with Carol. Granted, I'm not a big fan of Carol, but I don't involve my son in any dispute I have with her.
    Anna: Well, you just have all the answers, don't you?

    Anna walks out of the kitchen

    Over at the Donahue Estate, Cody is on the terrace with Carol.

    Cody: All of this is my fault, if I hadn't been such an idiot---
    Carol: Don't blame yourself, you aren't responsible for what happned.
    Cody: You don't have to cover for me.
    Carol: Yes, you made a mistake, but there is not point in blaming yourself now.
    Cody: I just feel like I should have never come back here.
    Carol: I'm glad you came back, it was time to let the past go.
    Cody: But with all that has happened, it sort of proves that I was right in having stayed away all this years.
    Carol: We'll get through this, once the police get to the bottom of this, they'll know that I had nothing to do with this.
    Cody: I hope so.
    Carol: I just have to take care of this whole PR nightmare, the media is hounding me for a statement and I've got to get them one.
    Cody: I can't tell you how sorry I am about all of this
    Carol: I'm sorry it turned out this way too.

    Yvette is at her office at night, when a woman comes in.

    Yvette: May I help you?
    Woman: Yes, I'm Cassandra Lightner and I'm looking for an Yvette McGregor?
    Yvette: That's me, what can I do for you?
    Cassandra: I'm here because I heard that you were up north asking around about Andrew McGregor?
    Yvette: Yes, but how did you know about that?
    Cassandra: I used to know Andrew and an old friend of mine called and told me.
    Yvette: How did you know my father?
    Cassandra: Let's just say that we we're old high school classmates.
    Yvette: Okay, but that doesn't really explain why you are here?
    Cassandra: I take it that you found out about his little real estate scam?
    Yvette: Yes, I did.
    Cassandra: Well, I'm here to settle the trouble that he caused everyone in that town.
    Yvette: Look, if you are trying to get money, I suggest you turn around and go back where you came from.
    Cassandra: I'm afraid I can't do that.
    Yvette: This happened 40 years ago, now I'm not denying that my father was wrong, but you really need to move on.
    Cassandra: My parents lost their 4 room house and farm, their life's work. Now that may not sound like anything to you, since your some affluent corporate executive, but that farm meant everything to my family.
    Yvette: Yes, yes, everyone has a sob story and most of the time they always have a price tag on it, but you aren't getting one cent from this company.

    Cassandra turns to leave.

    Cassandra: I'll be back to make you an offer you couldn't possibly refuse.

    Cassandra leaves.
    Down the hall, Edmund is sitting in a conference room, when Joseph walks by the door.

    Joseph: Hey, buddy.
    Edmund: Hey.

    Joseph comes in and sits down.

    Joseph: I didn't expect to see you back at work just yet.
    Edmund: I got tired of sitting around feeling sorry for myself, especially since Troy and Kevin will be back from their visit soon.
    Joseph: Well, good for you, Dad always said nothing could keep a McGregor down.
    Edmund: I guess he was right.
    Joseph: Work helps you keep sane, I know it did during my divorce.
    Edmund: I've taken a lot in the last few months, with Carolee leaving and then this custody situation, it's been hard to keep it all off my mind.
    Joseph: Whatever you do, make sure you stay focused on that case, because you don't know what kind of tricks Carolee's lawyer might have up his sleeve. He's already tried to denigrate this family's name in cour
    Edmund: You know, the thing that concerns me is Carolee filling Troy and Kevin's heads with garbage about me.
    Joseph: You don't think she'd go that far.
    Edmund: Oh, I'm sure she would, because that's the only way for her to possibly get custody. This whole thing is about money and since I'm not obligated to give her a dime, she wants to use the kids to get me to pay support.
    Joseph: Then maybe you ought to consider finding a stronger strategy. If she can throw bogus allegations of instability around, why can't you?
    Edmund: I don't think so, we already have the fact that Carolee left and didn't contact the boys for months, that's reason enough she shouldn't have custody.
    Joseph: Yeah, but the judge isn't seeing it that way, he's been incredibly understanding to her, otherwise she wouldn't have been granted such a long visitation. If you want to keep your children, you better start fighting and fighting hard.

    Norm is having coffee at the food court in the mall, when he sees Yvette and walks over to her. Yvette tells him that she doesn't want a rival this close to her, but he tells her he might be of help to her. Yvette asks how that is possible and Norm replies that he knows about the project she's trying to get off the ground and that he wants a piece of it. Yvette says that what she is doing is strictly for McGregor, but he says that he's not looking for a partnership in companies, just a partnership between him and Yvette. He says that he has connections to people who can help her go over Anna's head and start building immediately. Yvette asks if he is doing this just because he dislikes Anna, but he says that he only wants to profit from the venture. Yvette says she's willing to try anything to get the shopping center built, even if it means partnering with Norm.

    Anna and Joseph are in the den at the mansion, when she brings up Trish. Joseph says he's not in the mood to talk about her, but Anna continues anyway. She says that he should fight for his relationship with Trish before it's too late. Joseph asks her why she even cares, she never really liked Trish anyway. Anna says she never had anything against Trish and that she's the only decent person in her family. Joseph says that his relationship is over and he doesn't want to get back into it, because he can't deal with Trish's demands. Anna says that sometimes you have to admit when you were wrong, but Joseph insist that he did nothing wrong. Anna reiterates what Trish said about him never being at home and Joseph accuses her of taking Trish's side. Anna says she's not taking sides, she's just trying to help him. Joseph says that he doesn't need help, because even if he wanted Trish back, she wouldn't agree to come back to him.

    Henry comes into Trish's office with a pastry box. She looks up and tells him to sit down, saying that she's surprised to see him, but is glad he's here. Henry says he brought her the donuts she always liked. Trish says that it was nice of him to remember that and thanks him. Henry says that she looks tired and she replies by saying that she's had a double work load for the pass few days and hasn't any rest. They start reminisce about old times in school, they laugh until they get to the point that Trish married Joseph. Henry says that he never understood why she married Joseph, seeing how she knew he was work obsessed when she met him. Henry then asks her if she regrets it, but before she can answer Carol comes in.

    Sure that Joseph was behind Anna's job offer, Henry confronts Joseph in his office.

    Joseph: Haven't you ever heard of knocking?
    Henry: I'm going to get right to the point.
    Joseph: Right to the point, eh? You could start by telling my what this is about.
    Henry: I know that it was you that put your mother up to offering me a job.
    Joseph: I didn't put her up to anything, I just merely suggested to her that you might want a better paying job.l
    Henry: Or perhaps you wanted me away from Trish
    Joseph: Don't go there.
    Henry: Everyone knows that you haven't really gotten over Trish.
    Joseph: You don't know anything about me, I move on. Unlike you, who sat around for years hoping that you would get a second chance with Trish after she rejected you.
    Henry: All I ever tried to do was be a friend to Trish, especially when she you weren't around.
    Joseph: Seems like you were trying to be a whole lot more than a friend.
    Henry: Well, that's not the way Trish saw it.
    Joseph: Trish can't always see people for what they are.
    Henry: Well, that might be true seeing that she married you

    Henry turns and leaves the office.


    Teddy and Carol are meeting in the Donahue boardroom

    Teddy: I reexamined disc from McGregor and found another folder
    Carol: And?
    Teddy: It was encrypted, heavily.
    Carol: Shoot, I thought we might be on to something.
    Teddy: I made a copy and sent it to a friend of mine who knows computers
    Carol: Good, good.

    JC unexpectedly comes into the boardroom.

    Carol: J.C.
    J.C.: Grandma, what is he doing here?
    Carol: Well, I---
    Teddy: Not that it is any of your business, but I came over here to reject Mrs. Donahue's job offer.
    J.C.: Job offer?
    Teddy: She wants to get me caught up in this silly feud by hiring me, but I said I don't want in the middle of it and I like working at McGregor.
    Carol: That's pretty much it.
    J.C.: Whatever. Grandma, I came to invite you to a party I'm having just for a few of my friends and family.
    Carol: Will Anna be there? If so, no thanks.
    J.C.: Can you please just put that aside for a few hours and come to my party, it would mean a lot.
    Teddy: I don't need to here this, I'll just be leaving.

    Teddy leaves.

    Carol: I don't know, J.C., I don't feel comfortable being in the same room with anyone named McGregor, excluding you.
    J.C.: I'll personally make sure you don't run in to anyone. I'd really like you to come.
    Carol: All right, you got me.
    J.C.: Thanks..

    J.C. leaves. Once he gets on the elevator, Teddy comes back into the boardroom.

    Teddy: That was close.
    Carol: We'll have to be more careful from now on, now that someone has seen us.

    Meanwhile, at Anna's office, Yvette confronts Anna.

    Yvette: I thought we could talk about my project again
    Anna: Unless you found another place to build, there is nothing to discuss.
    Yvette: I think I might have something to change your mind.
    Anna: I don't think so.
    Yvette: When I get finished saying what I have to say, you'll be singing a whole different tune.
    Anna: I don't like the sound of this, what have you done.
    Yvette: It isn't a question of what I did, it's Father's actions you should be concerned with
    Anna: What are you talking about?
    Yvette: Did Father ever tell you about his life before he met you?
    Anna: He grew up in the Upper Peninsula and worked for a lender, but why on earth are you asking me?
    Yvette: Because it is time that you learned the truth about the man you believed was such a saint.
    Anna: I don't know what you are getting at, but I don't want to hear it.
    Yvette: Not long before he met you, the town he lived in went through some economic problems. Some of the people couldn't afford to keep their homes, so he offered to help them.
    Anna: He was always trying to help someone, that's the way he was.
    Yvette: But this time he was only trying to help himself. He had over a dozen people put him on the deed to their homes, with the promise that he would save them, but instead he sold the houses without their knowledge and ran off with the profits.
    Anna: Oh, my god. I can't believe this.
    Yvette: I know this must come as a shock.
    Anna: I don't know what to say, it's horrible. I just can't believe that you would tell me such a lie.
    Yvette: Oh, it's true. I spoke with a resident of the town, she gave me a copy of the deed that she added his name to. (shows her the deed)
    Anna: This doesn't mean anything, this doesn't prove that he conned these people out of their homes.
    Yvette: What reason would this woman have to lie?
    Anna: This has to be a misunderstanding.
    Yvette: The sooner you face the truth, the better.
    Anna: Why are you doing this? What are you trying accomplish? Are you trying to hurt me?
    Yvette: Because this is the only way I can keep you from shooting down my proposal.
    Anna: I don't understand.
    Yvette: You wouldn't want Joseph, Edmund and Lynette or even JC to find out that their beloved father and grandfather was crook.
    Anna: You wouldn't dare tell them this.
    Yvette: Just sign off on my proposal and I won't say a word.
    Anna: This is insanity.
    Yvette: This is business. I don't want to tell anyone else this, but I will do it if I have to.

    Anna looks at Yvette with an expression of shock, while Yvette stares back at her coldly.

    Anna, who is still reeling from Yvette's revelation about Andrew, comes into the laundry to talk to Claire.

    Claire: Hey, Anna.
    Anna: Hi, Claire.
    Claire: You don't look to happy, what's wrong?
    Anna: I just needed to talk to someone.
    Claire: All right. It's been a long time since we had a nice talk anyway.
    Anna: What would you do if somebody loved and thought you knew did something that was just so wrong?
    Claire: You know, my late husband did a lot of things he shouldn't have, but after awhile it just didn't phase me.
    Anna: I've been trying to put it all in perspective, but I can't.
    Claire: Well, what is it that's got you so upset?
    Anna: You have to promise that you won't tell this to anyone else.
    Claire: I promise.
    Anna: I found out that Andrew once ran a scam that caused people lose their homes.
    Claire: When was all this?
    Anna: Just before I met him and before he started the company.
    Claire: You don't think that he started the business with the dirty money, do you?
    Anna: That's what I don't know, because we did apply for a loan and Andrew told me that we got it. I don't know if he was lying to me or not.
    Claire: Either way, it doesn't make a difference now. I mean, what's done is done, there's no use being upset about something you can't change.
    Anna: It just sort of changes my memory of him. I thought he was the most honest, upstanding person I had ever met. And now, I know that's not true.

    Trying to make things better, Lynette has invited Jim to dinner at Number 37 on her night off.

    Lynette: Are you having a good time?
    Jim: As good a time that any person can be expected to have.
    Lynette: Please, let's just try to make this as pleasant as possible.
    Jim: It's not easy for me to be fake, Lynette.
    Lynette: I thought it would be nice if we had a quiet dinner out, but I guess I was wrong.
    Jim: We can't pretend that nothing is wrong.
    Lynette: That is not what I am trying to do and you know it.
    Jim: I don't think I know anything about you anymore.
    Lynette: And why is that? Because you never talk to me.
    Jim: I've never been one for talking, you've always known that.
    Lynette: Yes, but I thought you could make an exception for me.
    Jim: We were just fine until you decided to get this stupid job.
    Lynette: Don't lay this on me, it was youtr attitude that started all this.
    Jim: I just made it clear that I was against you working.
    Lynette: It wasn't your decision to make.
    Jim: I never said it was.
    Lynette: It was written all over your face. You couldn't even be supportive
    Jim: You want supportive? I've been supportive of you by not saying a word to you about your job.
    Lynette: (sarcastically) Oh, yes, that is such a noble gesture.
    Jim: I don't have to sit here and take this.
    Lynette: Well, why don't you just leave?

    Jim gets up from the table and leave the restaurant.
