Yeah, but it clears out at about midnight or so.
You hungry? You want to get something to eat?
Are you asking me to dinner, Bob?
I guess.
[laughing]
There's a...
Sizzler up here a little ways.
Sizzler?
Look, Bob, if this is going to be my last meal,
I'd like it to be something special.
I don't get out much, Sizzler's all I know.
Then this will be a treat for the both of us.
Right, this way, sir,
we have a lovely table for you, hidden away in the back.
[bang] Oh.
Six months I've been trying to get a table here,
you've always been too crowded?
Well, tonight must be your lucky night.
Oh, yeah, it's amazing what a bullet to the spine will do for your luck.
I should go out and get some Quick Picks!
I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time here at the restaurant.
Here you are.
Your waiter will tell you about the specials.
God, I hate snobs.
Then why eat here?
Because it's supposed to be the best in the city,
and I don't want you to forget this night.
I don't think that'll be a problem.
You're not going to chicken out on me, are you, Bob?
No.
Because this will be a wasted meal
if you don't go through with it.
It's not a wasted meal.
Then stop looking so goddamn sad.
Sir,
Madam,
would you like to hear the specials?
Oh, no need, we'll take the two most expensive dishes on the menu.
[Waiter] Excellent choice.
I imagine you'd like a bottle of Opus One to wash it down?
You read my mind.
I'll bring it right over.
Don't worry, if you really have my job,
you can afford it.
Aren't you going to miss anything?
Your friends, your family...
Bob, how many flowers were in my room?
I don't remember. None.
And how many people came to wish me well?
I don't know. None.
And who came to see me today?
The day I got to go home?
Just me.
Just you.
You're such a beautiful woman, so full of life, your smile--
Yeah, I could light up a room, I know,
it's my first line of offense.
I don't understand.
I'm 26 years old, Bob. 26?
Yeah, and I was a heartbeat away from being Senior VP
at a Fortune 500 company in just one year on the job.
You're an incredibly educated woman--
No, no I'm not.
My entire extended schooling is two years at Valley Junior College.
I have a brain, Bob, but the only reason why
I got to where I am so fast is because,
one, I was a complete knockout, and two,
I gave the best goddamn blow jobs in the entire state.
Your wine. Great.
And it didn't hurt that I also had that whole woman/child thing going on.
Men either wanted to protect me or fuck me, so,
it helped me get up the ladder,
and I did a hell of a lot of climbing, Bob.
More than my share.
Right.
Look, the point is, you don't make any friends
stepping all over them on the way up.
Look, enough with this doom and gloom.
Let's see what a $300 bottle of wine tastes like.
Me first. Here, can you take this off?
Ohhh...
Okay?
Yeah.
Don't worry.
Ohh..
Whoo...
Ow, that's so much better.
Now that I'll miss.
Bon appetit.
You have any brothers and sisters? Umm...yeah....
What was your most personal-- I do like apple juice a lot...
Really? One time at the office I was talking shit about Paula
Sweet Orchard apple juice... and she was right behind me.
Oh, Paula...
[laughing]
But are goldfish like cats,
where you can't leave food out for them?
Pretty much. Everyone's due for a good hangover.
It's easier to ask what hasn't been my most...
You go ahead, I'm stuffed.
How can you tell? You can't feel anything below your neck.
I know my limit.
Besides, they're closing this place out, I think.
It's only ten o'clock.
I guess we're going to have to try and find something else we've never done before.
What haven't you done before? [drums]
** [rock music]
You're doing the back-up lines.
You hear me? No...
Yes you are! No, no, no.
Gladys is nothing without the Pips.
Take the mic. Bob!

*So he's leavin' the life *
* He's come to know *
Bob. You gotta do this.
* He said he's going back to find *
Where are the Pips? Do the Pips!
* Ooh, what's left of this world *
You're killing me, come on.

Bob, get me out of here!
[audience consternation] Oh shit!
[mic feedback] Bob! Oh my God!
Get me out of here!
Thank God I'm not in a wheelchair.
[distant siren]
There it is.
[subway train passing]
Keep going, Bob.
[wheelchair squeaking]
Right here. Stop.
I've been here so many times.
You're going to let go, you promise?
I promise.
I'm glad I got to know you, Bob.
So am I.
[horn approaching]
Now Bob. Now.
[train approaching]
[increasing roar]
[shouting] Bob, let me go! Bob!
Bob, you promised me! You fucking promised me!
Goddamn it, Bob! Let me go. I'm sorry!
You promised me! You fucking chickenshit!
You fucking cocksucker! Let me go!
Bob! Bob! No! I'm sorry! I know!
[screaming]
[brakes screeching]
Oh, the-- Bob! Shit!
Myelinated actions below the wound were not as contused
as the original MRI indicated.
So we rescanned, using NMR microimaging.
That revealed an overabundance of progenitor cells,
which apparently caused glia
to be secreted around the C-7 thoracic synapsis.
What does all that mean?
It means there's hope. There's definite hope.
[monitor beeps]
Hi.
Come here.
Closer.
Closer!
Closer.
[Heart beat] [Man singing acapella]
Thank you for saving my life.
Again.
This time you won't regret it.
[Man singing] * Inside, outside*
* Make up your mind *
* Put on your face *
* And close your door Step out of your mind *
...isn't anymore, is it? No, it certainly is not.

I told you guys to be here as soon as possible.
It's an emergency. [indistinct]
Where'd you learn how to drive? Huh?

[laughing]
The big problem's a lack of communication between departments,
but I notice there's one place people don't have any trouble expressing themselves,
and that's by the water cooler, so I thought if you put a little miniature water cooler
by every phone in every office and promote communication between departments.
That's good thinking, Bob.
[everybody] Yeah, yeah.
* And I said some days may fade *
* I will let this one fade *
* Sometimes rain falls *
* And I will let it fall *
* And some things are bound to change *

I guess we overdid it today.
It was a great day.
But it could be perfect.
It's not already? [kissing]
It just needs that final touch.
Your finger's definitely getting stronger.
Take me to the couch.
I want to satisfy you, Bob.
You have. You are.
Not intellectually, I mean intimately.
Sexually.
All you have to do is reposition me,
put my head over the couch, and I'll do the rest.
Vanessa! What? You're my boyfriend, right?
Come on, you've done so much for me.
Please, just let me do this for you.
No, no, I don't think we should. I don't see you that way.
Well that's just it. I want you to. I want you to find me attractive.
I do. You're beautiful.
Not enough to be intimate with?
Vanessa,
from the first moment I saw you
I wanted to be close to you in every way possible.
I fantasized about you
being naked.
Can I at least fulfill that fantasy then?
Please?
** [Man singing]
Buttons, Bob?
[giggles]
It's okay.
There's a clasp.
Touch them.
But you won't feel anything.
I will if you do.
* So don't you worry at all *
* And ooh, can't you see *
* The world's here for you *
* And ooh, can't you see *
Take your glasses off.
[whispered] Come here.
* And ooh, can't you see *
* The world's here for you *
* I'm here for you *
* Here for you *
Take me with you.
What?
Take me with you.
Vanessa, it's Monday. I have to go to work.
I know. I want to go with you.
Why?
Because, it's time to see where it happened.
All those people seeing what's happened to you.
The ones that you said you stepped on,
are you sure you're strong enough to handle all that?
I will be if you're with me.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait.
Is the lipstick overdone?
No, the nurse did a good job.
This hair is in the way.
Let's no do this. Not today. No! No no no no no!
When are you going to learn to put your emotions away and just do it?
Stop! Dammit, don't do that!
Don't be weak. Come here!
Look at me.
Show some courage, Bob.
I need that.
You're all I got in there.
Vanessa. It's really a shame what happened.
But you look ravishing as always.
Such a tragic thing, Vanessa. If there's anything I can do, really.
You okay? Keep moving.
[Vanessa] It smells different.
[Bob] They started to pump in air freshener.
How come?
It's supposed to make you happy.
It stinks.
Wait, stop.
I was filling my water bottle.
Where were you?
I was over by the hula girl.
Take me to where I fell.
I heard the shots, but I didn't see where they came from.
Where was Coleman standing?
He was right there.
Show me.
I wanna see.
[gunshots]
What's wrong?
I wish I would have seen his eyes.
If you had, he wouldn't have fired.
How do you know?
I know.
Vanessa?
They told me you were here. I couldn't believe it.
I wanted to see where it happened.
I understand.
I am so, so sorry about what happened.
Yeah, so am I.
Bob. Come on. Let's go. We're done here.
You can move?
I-I thought you were permanently paralyzed.
Yeah, so did I. I guess we were both wrong.
Bob.
It was so good to see you.
Freak show's over. Everyone back to work.
That's Hawaii, definitely. Or maybe it's Japan.
Both would be great.
God, it would be nice to go somewhere.
You're awfully quiet tonight.
If you hadn't been shot, would you ever have thought of being with me like this?
That's kind of a cruel question.
You wouldn't, I know.
I didn't even know you.
Who would you be with then?
What does it matter? We're in a different world.
Mr. Shelby...
Did you love him?
He was married, Bob.
So? So I told you who I was before.
And why I did what I did.
[jet roar] Love was the last thing on my mind.
Why are we talking about this right now? What happened happened.
And in this world I'm with you, you are the one I want to be with,
and nothing's going to change that unless you want it to change.
I don't want anything to change.
Then it won't.
Bob,
you should've told me you like your women submissive.
I would have accommodated.
Your day will come.
Hey Bob.
What are you doing in here? We need to talk.
Don't you ever stop? I have nothing to say. I'm fine.
Well, I'm not, okay?
I'm failing here, Bob, and I need your help.
See, I wasn't good enough to do my job.
And now I think something really wrong is going to happen,
and it's going to be my fault. What could go wrong?
Let me show you something.
All right, Bob. You gotta see this.
I haven't shown this to anybody.
Sit down.
Where did you find this?
In the copy machine.
You see, the good thing is, it's in the form of a question.
That means whoever wrote it
hasn't made up their mind what they're going to do yet.
Maybe they already have, and they're not going to do anything.
Can we take that chance?
No. The person that wrote this note is reaching out.
He may not even know it.
But that would be a real tragedy
if you and I didn't try to save him.
How can I save him?
Help me bring him out into the open.
Otherwise, I gotta go down to Mr. Shelby,
initiate a company-wide handwriting analysis
and, my friend, that's just a bitch.
It's just a bitch.
Oh, shit.
[beep] Bob, you there?
[clears throat]
Ah. I need you to go out and buy a gift.
I wanna get something-- something really special,
but I don't know what's appropriate
for someone in Vanessa's condition
I figured you would know what she'd like these days,
because I certainly don't know.
I can not get over seeing her come in like that.
What a brave woman.
Here. Take the afternoon if you need it.
We-- here.
What? Do you think it's not enough?
I don't think it's right.
Why not?
You shouldn't be buying presents for another woman.
Vanessa is not another woman.
She happens to be a valued and appreciated member of the ADD team.
Is that what you tell Mrs. Shelby?
Are you questioning my fidelity?
Because if you are, you are way out of line, pal!
I just don't wanna see her hurt again.
And what are you? Her protector?
I care about her.
Oh, Jesus, you're in love with her.
[laughs] I can't believe it.
She's done it to you too.
Bob, that woman
will do anything to get a man to give her what she needs.
She's changed.
Yes. She's disabled.
She doesn't want anything from me.
Bob, you're the spoon.
Because that's what she needs right now.
But let me ask you something.
What happens if she starts to wiggle more than her finger?
What if she starts to move her entire hand?
Or her arm?
What happens if she can feed herself,
move herself, take care of herself?
Do you really think that a woman like that
is gonna choose a man like you?
I mean, honestly now.
I...
am not...
a spoon.
There he is. Man of the people.
Now this thing between you and Little Miss Bottle Rocket serious?
Don't call her that.
I'm just saying, Bob, you're at your peak right now.
Great money, great car, great friends.
Some men wait a whole lifetime for that.
Why would you wanna waste it on a gimp?
[grunts]
You are a very cruel man!
Bob, come on. Hey.
Forget golf on Sunday, you fucking freak!
[door creaks, slams]
Don't touch her.
She was mine.
Well, you threw her away.
No, I didn't. She was broken. She was in pieces.
She's all better now.
She was mine.
Say bye-bye.
What's this? He's the guy you're looking for.
He's the one with the problem.
Henry from Maintenance.
That's your man.
Bob, I think you misunderstood what I was asking of you.
No, I didn't. You wanted me to find the next Coleman,
that's-- that's what I did.
How did you actually do this?
I had the sense, remember?
The sense.
You know, how I knew something was gonna happen here.
How I knew to bring my gun in the day Coleman went off.
Right. And you're right.
This man is very dangerous.
You need to do something. You need to get him some help,
and you need to get him out of here, just like you said.
Bob, he's not the one.
You didn't see him. He's this tall!
You're the one, Bob.
You're the one that needs help.
I'm the hero. I shot the bad guy.
I know.
That's why I wanted you to come to me on your own.
That's why you're up here on the top floor.
You're wrong.
Think about it-- Vice President of Creative Thinking?
Do you really believe that someone like you would have a job like that?
Someone like me?
[sighs]
Just admit you're the one, Bob,
and you'll be halfway home.
No.
I'm not the one.
I'm not the one!
I'm not!
Not the one!
No. No, no, no.
No!
Let me through! Let me through!
[plane landing]
[panting]
Mr. Shelby?
Hello, Bob.
What's going on? Why is he here?
Well-- I just came--
I didn't ask you!
I think you better go.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
I, uh-- I'll see you tomorrow, Bob.
Right?
I didn't know that he was coming over.
The nurse let him in before I could stop her.
He's never come over here before. Why here? Why now?
He wanted to talk.
About what? About your miraculous recovery?
Or how-- how he wants to ask you back into his life.
Don't do this. Don't do what?
Don't turn this into something it's not.
Don't tell me how to feel!
He came over here because he was worried about you.
He said that you two had words earlier
and that you left very upset.
Did he tell you why I was upset?
How he wanted me to buy you a present from him? Huh?
I bet he didn't tell you a thing about that, did he?
Yeah, he did. He also told me that you harassed Paula
and that you choked Harper in the elevator.
That's 'cause they disrespected you.
My God! What is so wrong?
I'm not the one who has the problem!
I don't need any help! I--
[panting]
Do I?
Bob, everybody needs help sometimes.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Look at me. Without you, I'd either be hopeless or dead.
That's because you need me right now.
What happens if you start to get better?
If you could feed yourself, clothe yourself,
take better care of yourself--
What're you gonna do with me then, huh? Bob, please stop it.
What're gonna do with me then?
You're gonna throw me away. That's it.
No, I'm not. Listen to me. Yes, you are!
Sit down. Come here.
No!
I'm not coming over there!
Bob. Sit down.
Come here and sit down, now.
Jesus.
Listen to me.
I didn't just find you in this tragedy.
I found myself.
And I can tell you with all honesty
that it doesn't matter if I never walk again or I can fucking fly.
It's your heart and your soul that I desperately need,
and I'll always need.
So you have a problem? So what?
I'm gonna help you get through this.
You just need the courage to do the right thing.
What is the right thing?
To do what's in your heart.
And you need the courage to face that.
It's easier to find when I'm with you.
And if you feel it's slipping away,
just look into my eyes...
and it'll be right there.
Do you love me?
Bob...
that's such a foreign word to me, you know that.
It doesn't mean that I won't,
I just-- I have to be sure before I say it.
[plane landing]
It doesn't matter.
Yes, it matters.
It does matter, Bob!
Please. Don't go.
Stay with me tonight, please.
Please.
Why?
Because I'm afraid if you leave feeling this way...
you won't find your way back.
[soft moan]
What-- what?
[Bob] So, she couldn't say it. So what?
It'll come. It'll happen.
I just have to be patient.
'Cause in the end,
it's all about timing.
[groans]
The bitch lied.
[yells]
Excuse me, sir!
Where's Shelby?
He's not up here. He's downstairs.
Maconel!
Maconel.
Dammit, I told that drone not to leave.
You know where Maconel went?
[office chatter]
[Woman] You see that?
[Man] Yeah.
He's got a gun!
[siren]
You're the one, Bob. You're the one that needs help.
[Bob] You may ask why I did what I did.
But what choice did you give me?
How else could I get your attention?
All I wanted was to exist in your world.
Just one person
who took time to actually see me,
who helped me...
find...
a way out.
[gunshot]
There comes a time
when the diseased and the weak
must be sacrificed in order to save the herd.
He seemed like a nice guy.
He was a quiet man.
