![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() September 29, 2003: Liza finds out Tad slept with Simone. Simone: [To Liza] Who are you calling? Liza: Tad. Maybe he knows something about this. Mia: [She smiles.] [To Simone, aside.] Please -- any excuse to talk to Tad. She's over Tad, like heck she's over Tad. Simone: Really? Mia: Mhmm. [A cell phone rings.] That's you. Simone: Oh, my phone. Hang on. Hello? Liza: [She turns around.] Simone? Simone: Liza? Mia: Simone? Simone: I must've picked up Tad's phone by mistake. Liza: When he was here yesterday? Simone: I guess -- yes. Yes, of course. That's silly. Wow. Oops. Liza: Wait a minute. No, no, no-- no, no, no, no, you couldn't have because I talked to him on his cell phone last night, which means you needed to pick it up... later. Simone: You did. Mia: [Sighs.] Tad. Simone, Tad? Tad: [Smiling.] You rang? Isn't it a glorious day? Simone: It was. Mia: [Glaring at Tad.] I've had better. [Tad's smile fades; he's confused. He looks at Liza. She gives him a small smile.] Mia: So, Tad, what brings you here this morning, hmm? Tad: Um, actually, I-- I, I-- [Simone holds up his phone discreetly.] Mia: Something that I can help you with, or Liza could help you with? Tad: Uh-- you-- Uh, well-- Um-- Okay, I was just wondering how many people voted with their cell phone. You know, with text messaging -- is there another thing you can do on the Internet, or anything like that? Liza: Uh, Tad, Simone has your cell phone and you have hers. Tad: Yeah. She does. [Mia sighs and goes to her desk. Tad and Simone hand each other their rightful cell phones.] Tad: [He turns back to Liza.] Um, this was just a total accident. I'm so sorry, I didn't mean-- Liza: No, no, no -- that's your business. Listen, the only reason I knew Simone had your cell phone was because I actually tried to call you about this [she hands him the invitation]. Tad: "Alexander Cambias... critical you attend" Who's Bill Masters? Liza: Yeah. Well, I was hoping you could tell us. [She smiles and walks away. Tad excuses himself with Simone and goes to Liza.] Tad: Look, about Simone, I never, ever intended anything like this to happen. Liza: No, no, no, no, no, you don't -- you don't owe me an explanation. This is your decision. Whatever you do, it's great. Tad: Well, I didn't decide for anything like this to go on. I mean, I just-- It literally-- I just-- Liza: Really. You don't-- You don't-- You don't owe me. I mean, we're just friends. Liza: [She walks away.] [To Simone] So what do you think? You think we're going to attend this Alexander Cambias thing? Simone: Well, how often are we summoned from the other side? I'm wondering just who else is invited. Liza: [To Greenlee] This was delivered right before you showed up. [She hands Greenlee the invitation.] Tad: [He hangs up the phone.] Okay. I'm off. Made a couple of phone calls. This Bill Masters is obviously a go-to kind of guy. Alexander Cambias must have hired him to create this whole event. Greenlee: Before or after he died? Mia: [Aside.] Liza? Liza: No. No, no, you know, I told him that I wasn't interested and I got what I deserved. So did he. Tad: Would you guys mind an escort to this little seance? Greenlee: I'd feel better. Simone: Me, too. Mia: Liza, what do you think? Liza: I think that it's a good idea. [She smiles.] Thanks, Tad. |
