April 9, 1997:
After Tad finds Liza and Jake kissing.


[Tad stares at Liza and Jake for a few moments, then shuts the door loudly. Liza and Jake break their kiss and look at him.]

Tad: Excuse me. I hope I didn't interrupt anything.

Jake: I didn't hear you drive up.

Tad: Obviously. [He looks from Jake to Liza.] So what's the story here, guys? Some kind of rerun or preview of coming attractions?

Jake: Liza and I are together.

Tad: Since when? I mean, that's not exactly the story you've been giving me up until now -- I think that went something like, 'It was over a long time ago'?

Jake: Well, I was kidding myself. We both were.

Tad: [To Liza] You love my brother?

Liza: You have a problem with that? [Tad doesn't answer.]

Jake: Tad, maybe just scoop your chin off the floor, all right?

Tad: Fine. You're going to have to forgive me, I'm having a little trouble processing this.

Jake: Well, look, I was going to tell you the other night, but, um, when you announced your engagement to Gloria, I just thought it'd be kind of an overkill.

Tad: [He sees Jake's bags.] You're moving out?

Jake: Yeah. I'm going back to Stanford to get my M.D..

Tad: I see. Suddenly there's a rush on sunny California. [to Liza] I guess it's no coincidence that you're giving notice and looking for a job in San Francisco?

Jake: We're moving out there together. It's what we want.

Tad: Well, it's your life. Are you sure this is really what you want to do with it?

[Jake and Liza look at him.]

Jake: Liza and I know what we're doing. Um, it would be great if you could wish us well, but if you can't, uh, that's you're problem, not ours.

[Liza's cell phone rings.]

Liza: Excuse me. Oh. [She answers the phone.] Hello? Oh, what time? All right, I'll be there. [She hangs up.] Uh, it's Belinda. Um, Adam called a meeting with the attorneys.

Jake: Oh, good. It seems like he's ready to deal, right?

Liza: Yeah, well, you never know with Adam.

Jake: Come on, let's be positive. Quick divorce and we'll be onto bigger and better things.

Liza: Yeah.

Jake: Okay.

Liza: I'll keep you posted.

Jake: Okay.

Liza: All right.

Jake: Um, good luck today.

Liza: Thanks. [They kiss. Tad looks on unhappily *cough*jealous*cough*.] I'll see you.

Jake: All right. Bye.

Liza: Bye.[She leaves.]
