"I knew you couldn't be trusted." "That's "the" Jake Terrance, right?" "The movie star." "Not some look-alike?" "We're just having a quick thing." "What's with you and all these letters, anyway?" "I'm surprised your hand hasn't fallen off." "They're from my sister." "There's some things I need to tell you... about your brother." "I'm not sure this is the place or the time." "Okay, how about dinner tonight?" "I don't know what you said to Aaron, but he'd really like to ask you out." "I usually date a different type of guy." "Oh, well..." "I hereby sentence the defendant to 12 months in County Corrections." "His pickup truck was totaled." "Edward Lawrence, your father?" "He died that morning." "Go, go, go!" "You see that?" "That's Daddy's team right there." "Babe, we're running late, and you're not even dressed." "Hold up a sec." "It's fourth and inches." "Craig, you have to get dressed." "Carla'll be here any minute." "( grunting ) Come on, it's Thanksgiving." "Oh!" "Ge..." "All right." "Stay right here, Henry, okay?" "Don't move." "Gotta clap for me, okay?" "Rachel, what are you doing here?" "I was..." "I was just finishing up some paperwork." "On Thanksgiving?" "What's going on, Rachel?" "Nothing, really." "Rachel..." "My boyfriend broke up with me." "( sniffles ):" "No biggie." "Happens every day, right?" "I thought he wanted to marry you." "I guess not." "How about this, then?" "Come spend Thanksgiving with me." "A bunch of the friends are going over to Craig's..." "Aaron..." "Oh, come on." "It'll be fun." "I mean, it's better than sitting alone crying at your desk." "Well, maybe a little better..." "No promises." "Thank you." "Is it weird?" "What?" "Being back home?" "No, not really." "You know, you get to see everybody." "Get everybody to see you." "Think they'll like me?" "Mm, probably not." "Shut up!" "No, I'm kidding." "They're going to love you." "Come on." "Just like I do." "And Sam?" "Do you feel nervous about seeing her after all this time?" "Vanessa, I told you," "Sam and I are just friends, okay?" "I love you." "It's as simple as that." "The six musketeers reunite at last." "I can't believe Jake Terrance is going to be here, in our loft, at our table." "Did you know there's a 50-foot billboard of him down in Times Square?" "Yeah." "Just try not to act starstruck when he gets here, okay?" "He's Jenna's husband first, a movie actor second." "Sure, whatever you say, honey." "No joke." "You ask for an autograph, and I divorce you on the spot." "And by the way, what's going on with Aaron?" "How come he's not bringing a date?" "Because my partner's too buried in his work to meet any women." "Not Will, though." "Sounds like he may have hit the jackpot with Vanessa." "Why do you say that?" "I don't say it." "He says it." "What was it he wrote in his last letter?" "That Vanessa might be "the one"?" "The turkey needs basting." "It's been a half-hour." "Sam, this is my nicest shirt." "Would you please just do it?" "Please?" "Hey..." "I was just kidding." "You all right?" "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." "I'm just, you know..." "Henry's got a cold, and I finished a double shift at the hospital, and the silverware..." "Hey, hey, hey." "It's going to be okay." "You see,Yoere I am, on my way to baste..." "I'm basting..." "I didn't even hear you come in last night." "'Cause I was chasing down a dead end in Jersey." "Come on, Ella." "I'm a cop." "I go where the case takes me." "So where are you off to now?" "The office... if that's okay with you." "I don't think it matters whether it's okay with me or not these days." "But if you have a spare moment, there's someone I'd like you to meet." "She sleeps down the hall, claims to be your daughter, has a school play today..." "I told you I'd be there." "I promised Isabella I'd be there." "Ken... this case... you need to keep your perspective." "I always do." "Oh, yeah?" "Well, on your drive in to work this morning," "I want you to remember the first day we met." "Then come talk to me about perspective." "What are you going to do, Kenny?" "What I should've done six years ago." "This is about Will Malloy, isn't it?" "The guy who crashed into Dad." "This is a bad idea, man." "It's Thanksgiving." "We should be at home with Mom." "You mean that person that sits in front of the TV set, doin' nothin' all day?" "Hmm?" "That empty shell?" "She's got her good days." ""Good days"?" "You don't remember what she was like." "Happy, always telling jokes." "The night that Will Malloy killed Dad, he killed her, too." "Killed all of us." "What are you talkin' about?" "Everything went wrong because of Will Malloy, and it's got to end." "It's been six years, Kenny." "What's the point in trying to scare this guy now?" "I'm not going to scare him." "I'm going to kill him." "Henry, can you turn the music down?" "Oh, thanks so much for coming early to help." "You kidding?" "I wanted to." "I've been looking forward to this day since forever." "All of us together again..." "God, you look great." "I know that we haven't talked lately as much as we usually do, but..." "Well, you're here, and I'm back in Bedford." "It's okay being back home?" "My father really appreciates my help around the store." "It's a little boring, but... after last year with Paul," "I could use a little boring." "TV ANNOUNCER:" "...throws it wide open..." "Go, go, go..." "Um, I need to show you something." "Okay." "This came in the mail yesterday." "Amy..." "There was a note from Meghan." "She and Amy are doing really, really well." "SAMANTHA:" "No return address." "No, there can't be." "Ever." "If Paul doesn't know where they are, then he can't hurt them." "CRAIG:" "Excuse me, ladies." "Two things." "One, our team just scored a touchdown." "And two..." "SAMANTHA:" "Hi!" "Hi!" "Jenna, you look fabulous!" "When did you get in?" "This morning." "The studio flew us in on their corporate jet." "Oh, Jake's running late." "Jake?" "Jake who?" "Yeah, it will be "Jake Who"" "if he doesn't get here soon." "He had some stupid interview." "Everybody wants a piece of Jake Terrance." "People magazine's "Sexiest Man on Earth"?" "I'll take a piece." "How about you, Carla?" "Count me in." "Um, which pieces are left?" "You want a drink?" "Yes." "We're all so proud of you, Jenna." "You did it." "You always said you were going to be a star, and here you are." "I'm just..." "I'm so impressed." "JENNA:" "Impressed?" "Look at you." "Mother, wife, med student, and still whipping up" "Thanksgiving dinner from scratch?" "You're Wonder Woman." "If there's some sort of speal pill, let me know." "If only it were that easy..." "Hey, Happy Thanksgiving." "Hey!" "CRAIG:" "Hey, where the hell have you been?" "It's already the second quarter." "Brought a last- minute date." "Hi." "I hope this is okay." "Aaron said..." "Yeah, of course." "Come on in." "Come on, we're missing the game." "I don't believe it." "You finally got the nerve to ask her out?" "Timing is everything." "Just sit back tonight and learn from the master, okay?" "VANESSA:" "I found more film!" "Oh, great." "Hey." "Something wrong?" "No." "Nothing." "I thought you said Aaron wasn't bringing a date." "I didn't think he was either." "But, you know Aaron-- can't resist a pretty face." "Most men can't." "I just thought Aaron wasn't one of them." "Hey." "Hey." "Hey." "Come on in." "This is Vanessa." "Hi." "Hi." "Vanessa" " Sam." "Nice to meet you." "You too." "How are you?" "Come on in, let me take your jacket." "Thank you." "How old is he?" "Nineteen months." "A little under the weather today." "Everybody says he looks like me, but all I can see is Craig." "Especially around the eyes." "Look." "SAM:" "Come on, you two." "You know you got the "catch"" "of Bedford High, don't you?" "Give me a break." "It's true." "What, he never show you his senior yearbook?" "What have you been keeping from me?" "As I remember it, it was "Most Likely To Break Hearts."" "( whispering ):" "We've got a celebrity sighting in the living room." "Go." "Go." "Excuse me, Jake." "This is my wife, Sam." "Pleasure." "We're so excited you could join us." "Well, I wouldn't have missed it." "I understand that you're a doctor?" "Almost." "JAKE:" "That's great." "Will, good to see you again." "Yeah." "So let me get this straight." "You go off, you fight a war, defend our country, and then come back to get your college degree." "So what are you going to do in your spare time, write a couple of symphonies?" "Yeah." "Excuse me for a moment." "Great group." "Really great." "So what do you say we, uh, what, spend another half an hour here" "And then go on over to Carrie's on Lexington?" "There's a producer there..." "Whoa." "Go where?" "Carrie's." "We talked about this." "No, I said we're having" "Thanksgiving dinner here." "You mean all night?" "Yes!" "These are my friends." "Fine." "Point me in the direction of the booze." "So be honest." "Isn't this better than crying alone in the dark?" "Yeah." "You have nice friends." "I never really told you, Rachel." "I mean, us being together in a working environment and stuff..." "I'm sorry, Aaron." "Would you mind getting me another drink?" "Oh." "Oh, yeah, sure." "Thanks." "( softly ):" "You have a lot of nerve coming here." "I was invited." "And we need to talk." "I said all I need to say to you last night." "It's over." "A message on my phone machine?" "You don't even have the guts to break up with me to my face?" "I've been telling you to your face for weeks now, you just don't want to hear it." "I love my wife." "I can't do this to Sam anymore." "You and me, it was a mistake." "Oh, thank you." "Every girl likes to be called a "mistake."" "I tried nice, but nice just isn't working, so I'll be blunt." "We're done." "Finished." "Now get a headache or whatever and leave." "I wonder if your wife would like to know you've been doing your secretary for the past six months." "You wouldn't dare." "Really?" "Why don't you stick around and find out?" "?" "So?" "Then how did he get in the loft the night of the murder if he's not on the tape?" "Maybe he wasn't there." "Since he's the murderer, he had to have been there." "Craig Brewster?" "I thought you were after the other guy-- the priest, Will Malloy." "I was wrong about Malloy." "The more I look at this thing, the guiltier Craig Brewster gets." "Ken, how in the hell do you switch gears right in the middle...?" "Samantha Brewster's $5 million life insurance policy with her husband as a sole beneficiary." "He's an ex-congressman." "He's got plenty of money." "Yeah, but it's no secret he wants to run for senate and that takes cash, my man." "A lot more than he has." "Anyway, he and his wife had a huge argument at the reunion only hours before her death." "Detective Matos." "Hey, Ella, how you doing?" "Hold on a sec." "It's your wife." "Tell her I'll call her back." "Uh, Ella, he said he'd get right back to you." "Okay, bye-bye." "Look, I hate to rain on your parade, Ken, but Craig Brewster's paralyzed." "How does he murder his wife then make a getaway?" "I don't know." "But what I do know is they're all involved in a cover-up and I'm going to prove it." "We've all lived with this thing way too long." "You want to trade places?" "Excuse me?" "Oh, I just seem to be in your way is all." "We can trade spots." "Oh, no, that's okay." "I'm good." "Thank you." "Well, well, I mean, you might as well come join me." "You're going to throw out your neck that way." "Come on." "I'm Ella." "Ken." "What are you watching up there?" "I'm just, uh... just waiting for somebody." "Friend or family?" "Neither." "ANNOUNCER:" "I'll tell you what it does do." "Even though the Patriots..." "Hey, I can't hear the game." "Too bad." "It's a party." "I don't think the Pilgrims celebrated Thanksgiving to the Top 40." "They didn't celebrate by watching a bunch of 300 pound guys smash into each other either." "Does it have to be so loud?" "Oh, come on, Craig, we're not our parents yet." "I don't dance." "There's a first time for everything." "All right, fine, I'll do this little dance move" "I picked up in Prague." "It's called "The Statue."" "How's that go?" "Rachel's hot." "You think so?" "You don't?" "I don't know, if you're into the sultry, goddess, vixen..." "sultry... yeah." "Hey, Will, can you get that?" "Yeah." "Dad, I thought you were going to be in Bedford today." "I'm going out tomorrow instead." "Thought I'd drop in... see that grandson of mine." "Share a little turkey." "Samantha." "Thank you." "So, Will Malloy's one of your honored Thanksgiving guests?" "He's a friend, Dad." "The guy who put me in prison." "Who brought down the family business." "UN Now he just scoots up to the table, breaks bread like nothing ever happened?" "Me and Will-- we've put all that behind us." "I don't know what's happened to you, buddy." "You had so many plans after college." "But here you are still hanging out with Will." "Spending all your energy on some nickel-and-dime business with your pal Aaron that's about go belly ." "That is not fair." "You talked about maybe going into politics one day." "I still think about politics." "Well, I'm your father, and it hurts me to say it, but right now you couldn't get elected dogcatcher." "Because lesson one for any politician is to surround himself with loyal people." "All right, I'm going to go around the block... a place I know, and get a drink or two." "I'll be back in an hour." "And when I get back, I expect Will Malloy to be gone." "Never could quite master that." "Yeah, my dad owns a landscaping business." "I think cutting and slicing is in the Malloy DNA." "I can't tell you how good it feels to be out of L.A." "Hang out with some regular people." "Hollywood" " I mean, you're always having to be somebody you're not." "I like you, Will." "I mean, I think you're, uh... an attractive guy." "Just putting it out there." "No offense, Jake, but I'm straight." "You sure?" "Yeah." "Real sure." "Sorry." "Well, like I said, you are who you are, right?" "I think that's enough turkey to get us started." "Can I help with anything here?" "No." "We're fine." "You sure?" "Positive." "Because I'd really like to help." "I mean, it looks like you guys are doing all the work." "You know, Rachel, there is something you could do if you don't mind." "You could quit sleeping with my husband." "That would be helpful." "Happy Thanksgiving, everyone." "Why didn't you tell us?" "I wasn't really sure myself untia few weeks ago." "And even then, I didn't want to believe it." "Are you sure you still want to do this today?" "I'll be okay." "Just give me a minute." "How's Sam?" "Oh, she'll be fine." "Didn't see that one coming, though." "No." "Speaking of things that I didn't see coming, um, just now, over at the kitchen, Jake-- he, uh... ( sighs ):" "Oh, no." "Please don't tell me he hit on you." "Yeah." "Wait." "You know?" "We live under the same roof, Will." "Of course I know." "But you're married." "And we'll stay married for another year and a half, and then we'll have an amiable split and remain very good friends." "Everything in Hollywood is scripted, Will." "I'm not sure I understand." "Look," "America doesn't like its action stars to be light on their feet, so I'm the sexy hot wife." "Exhibit A that Jake Terrance isn't gay." "And you?" "Me?" "I get publicity." "Publicity means bigger and better roles." "You disapprove." "No." "I'm just surprised." "So, from the very start, your whole marriage has just been..." "A lie?" "We all live lies, Will." "Even you." "Me?" "Forget I said anything." "No, I mean..." "What lie am I living?" "Did you ever tell Vanessa what really happened to her brother in Kuwait?" "No." "We all live 'em in our own way." "That's all I'm saying." "Can I please be alone, Craig?" "What is that?" "Aspirin." "Aren't I allowed to have a headache?" "I think today of all days, I earned one." "Sam, please, just let me... explain." "Rachel was..." "Craig, not now." "But I need you to know..." "Not... now." "Our friends came a long way to be with us to celebrate this holiday together." "We'll talk about this another time." "I better go check on Henry." "Yeah." "You've been sleeping with Rachel?" "Your timing sucks, Aaron." "What an idiot I am." "I mean, all those times at the office, me talking about Rachel, and you, my friend, sitting there, saying, "Oh, yeah, yeah, Aaron." ""Hang in there, Aaron." "She likes you, Aaron."" "So, what do you want?" "Do you want to hit me?" "Will that make you feel better?" "What I want to do is trust you, but I can't anymore." "I mean, how could you do this to Sam?" "Sam!" "Like, the most wonderful woman in the world, and you're cheating on her?" "It makes me wonder what else" "I can trust you about." "Like at work." "I mean, how can we even stay business partners?" "Maybe we can't." "Say the word." "Fine." "Make an offer to buy me out." "I guarantee I'll take it." "MARJORINO:" "So that's my story." "The guy who did it got nine months in jail." "Nine months." "For killing my father." "But it was an accident." "Not if you drink and drive and run a stop sign, it's not." "the bottom line is, there's no real justice in this world." "FO The only justice is the justice that we make happen for ourselves." "Don't do it." "Do what?" "Whatever it is you're thinking about doing." "What are you, a mind-reader or something?" "You're hurt." "I see it in your eyes, I hear it in your voice." "Don't throw your future away over this." "You just told me you want to be a police officer someday." "So what are you going to do, call the cops?" "I'm not going to do anything." "I'm going to get up from this table and I'm going to continue on with my life." "Why don't you walk with me?" "I can't." "I have something I need to do." "Today." "And that's my life." "You're a nice guy, Ken." "You're probably a lot nicer than you even know." "And you're smart." "Smart even to know that the choices you make today are going to stay with you for the rest of your life." "If you ever want to talk some more... that's where you can reach me." "You okay?" "Oh, yeah." "I'm great." "Best Thanksgiving ever, don't you think?" "I'm sorry, Sam, for... for what you've gone through today." "You can say it, you know." "Say what?" "That I chose the wrong guy." "I know that's what you must be thinking." "No, not at all." "Actually, what I was thinking-- if you want to know- is that Craig loves you." "Will..." "I wish I didn't believe it, but I do." "He's loved you since the first moment he first saw you." "Sure he did." "I was there." "Mr. Ditch's ninth-grade science class." "You'd just moved to town." "The new girl." "First day." "You were wearing that bright red scarf." "Craig took one look at you, told me he was in love." "Shouldn't have thrown away that scarf, huh?" "It wasn't that." "WILL:" "You don't know the impression you made, Sam." "Shy, but with that-that great laugh when someone told a joke." "How could Craig not fall in love with you?" "Why do you care whether my marriage works or not?" "Because I want you to be happy." "I want that more than anything else in the world." "Thanks." "JAKE:" "Guess dinner's off?" "Get the hopeful tone out of your voice." "We're staying." "Never mind that two of the most important producers in New York are just up the street at Carrie's." "The most important people in my life are right here." "Oh, and thanks for hitting on my friend, by the way." "Okay, let's just cut to the chase." "How much is this going to cost me?" "What?" "How much money?" "Oh, come on, don't look so shocked." "You and I both know that that joker's going to leave here and go straight to the tabloids." "That "joker" is my friend!" "You know what?" "Get out." "Enjoy wherever, because when we get back to L.A., this little charade is over." "I'm done." "You're not that dumb." "You and I have an arrangement." "You have a career." "My career doesn't need what you oryourpeople throw my way." "I'd be careful what kind of threats you make." "When I decide to threaten you, Jake, you'll know it." "Get out." "JENNA:" "No big deal." "More turkey for the rest of us." "And that's the lie that I've been carrying around, Vanessa." "The day that your brother died, it was supposed to be me on that patrol." "He took my place." "I don't know why I couldn't tell you sooner." "Will, you almost said it to me so many times." "I knew it was something." "Danny loved you." "He wouldn't have held you responsible." "Neither do I." "Look, I'm going to go back home tonight." "Alone." "Vanessa..." "It has nothing to do with Danny." "That was an accident." "Fate." "And it's not the lie you told me about Kuwait." "Then what?" "It's the lie you're telling yourself." "About you and Sam." "You know, I see you two together and... you look at her the way I look at you." "And the one thing I can't be is a backup romance." "A consolation prize." "That is not tr..." "If you ever get over her... call me." "I am not proud of myself for saying this." "I may still be waiting." "Smells great." "Oh, Vanessa, would you mind getting the bread out of the oven?" "I'm sorry, Carla." "I-I have to go." "I'm really sorry." "Enough!" "What is the matter with everyone?" "I mean, look at us." "Can you believe that-- stupid me-- for two months, while I've been off in Bedford helping my father sell toothpaste," "I have been dreaming of this day?" "Two months picturing how it was going to be, with all six of us finally under the same roof again." "Because I knew that no matter what happened to us over the past few years, when we came together, it would be great." "Warm and fun." "And now... this is what we've become?" "This is who we are now?" "The friends that would never fight, never break up." "You know, I don't expect it to always be nice out in the world, but in here, us together... that shouldn'h't change." "It can't change." "I don't know why I waste my time." "Go ahead and fight, beat each other's brains out." "I'm going for a long walk and a pack of cigarettes." "?" "What's he still doing here?" "I thought I told you, I wanted..." "You don't understand." "What happened between you and Will, it was a long time ago." "No, you're the one who's not understanding." "I'll take care of this myself." "My son doesn't have the guts, so it's up to me." "I want you out of this apartment now." "Dad!" "No, you had your chance." "This... this gardener's son that I took under my wing only to get stabbed in the back..." "Maybe you like it X tter when I'm the one taking the fall, huh, Mr. Brewster?" "I'm sorry about this, Craig." "No, stay where you are, Will." "You've told me what to do my entire life, but you will not tell me who I can or cannot invite into my own house." "It's him or me, Craig." "I'll call you soon, Dad." "You don't have a lot to learn, son." "You have everything to learn." "Listen, what I said before, about not trusting you and wanting to end the partnership, uh... can I rewind and delete that?" "Yeah, consider it deleted." "But to be honest..." "I'd rather be your friend than your partner, Aaron." "I don't think we can be both." "You still want out?" "What are you gonna do?" "Something I'm better at than business." "Like what?" "Politics." "Really?" "Really." "Sorry about Jake." "Sorry about Vanessa." "I guess Carla had the right idea." "Yeah, speaking of..." "I'd better go look for her." "She was pretty mad." "Sir..." "I think you dropped something." "Happy Thanksgiving." "I am so sorry, Sam." "I've been such an idiot." "I guess I never really got over the baby you had in London." "I know it's messed up, but on some level..." "You were trying to punish me." "I know." "Like I said, I've been an idiot." "No, you've been human." "I know that's why you did what you did." "It's why I can almost forgive you." "Almost?" "Give me time, Craig." "I will never be unfaithful to you again, ever." "Do you believe me?" "I'm going to try." "That's all I can promise." "I got some tacos." "'Cause, uh... well," "I know they're not the most traditional, but that's all I could find." "I'm glad you called." "Come in." "CARLA:" "To today." "And to many Thanksgiving dinners to come." "You think it'll always be like this?" "No matter who we start with, it'll always boil down to just us." "The group." "The six of us." "Carla said it best... to being in here instead of out there." "May we always take care of one another." "Cheers." "Cheers." "Cheers... cheers." "Hey." "You would've been so proud of your daughter." "She was the best little princess in the whole play." "I'm sorry, Ella." "Isabella's not there." "She's at my folks' place." "Which is where I'll be going." "We'll be there for about a week." "That should give you enough time to find your own place." "When your family starts to matter more to you than a 20-year-old grudge... you let me know." "CRAIG:" "I think it's clear our problem isn't going away." "Okay." "Talk to you then."
