Blinded by the Light
Lindsay: This is Margaret Ann from the National Institute. Emily: What national institute? Lindsay: We're doing a study on siblings of identical twins, and your name was in our computer book. Emily: Oh? Lindsay: You do have brothers that are identical twins -- is that correct? Emily: Yeah -- I mean I did. One of them passed away. Lindsay: Oh, I'm so sorry. Emily: Thanks. Lindsay: Do you have any other brothers? Emily: No, I don't have any other brothers, but -- oh, no. Lindsay: Ms. MacIver? Emily: I'm sorry, I have to go. Lindsay: That's ok. You already told me everything I need to know. (She knocks on the door) Troy: Coming. Emily: Troy. Troy: Emily! Emily: You're never going to believe this. Troy: What? Emily: That woman, Lindsay Rappaport -- she was pardoned. Troy: Yeah, I know. Emily: You know? Troy: Yeah. Emily: Did the police call you? Troy: No, actually, she told me herself. I saw her at the hospital. Emily: You saw her? Troy: Yeah. She couldn't wait to share the big news. Emily: So she's free now? Troy: It looks that way. Emily: Aren�t you worried? Troy: No. Emily: No? Troy: No, I am, I'm concerned, but I'm not worried. Emily: Is that some kind of joke? Troy: No. Emily, I mean, come on. You don't have to worry. I'm -- I'm going to keep an eye on her. I'm going to make sure that she doesn't bother Nora when Nora gets back from Chicago. Emily: I can't believe you're being so calm about this, Troy! Troy: Well, what else should I be, Emily? Emily: I don't know, but considering what that woman did to you -- Troy: Look, Emily, I'm not going to be stupid, okay? I'm going to watch my back. Emily: And Nora's? Troy: And Nora's. Emily: But you're not worried? Troy: No, Emily, I'm not going to spend every moment of every day on the edge of my seat because of something that happened before I told you, I -- I'm going to forget about the past. I'm moving on. Emily: You're really unbelievable sometimes, you know that? Troy: Look, Emily sometimes you just have to deal with bad things, just like the way I used to deal with your braces when we were kid. Emily: You jerk. Just when I think that you're cool, you --you show me how obnoxious that you can be. Troy: Obnoxious? I'm not obnoxious. Emily: Oh, yeah, you are. You always have been. Troy: What are you talking about? Emily: Remember your wedding, when I stood up to give that toast? Troy: No, I don't remember any of that. Emily: You screamed out "Jaws." Troy: Me? Oh, no. I would never do that. Emily: You were shielding your eyes from my braces. Troy: No, no, no� Emily: Troy, you hummed "blinded by the light." Troy: Oh, yeah, yeah, I remember that. Emily: Yeah. Troy: Yeah, so I was a little mean. Emily: I mean I'm standing there; I don't know what I�m doing there but just babbling. I looked like a total idiot. Troy: Yeah, you know that was pretty funny. Emily: I was traumatized by it, Troy. Troy: Maybe that trauma's a little good for you. Emily: Troy! Troy: Alright, I'm sorry, ok? I'm sorry so, what made you think of that? Emily: I was talking about it with someone the other day -- not all the gory details, mind you, just that I made a complete--- Troy: Emi -- Emily: Idiot out of myself. Troy: Emily -- you didn't tell anybody that I was married to Joanna, did you? (Flashback) Lindsay: Okay, so wait -- you were dangling Colin out of a window? Troy: That's right. Lindsay: From what floor? Troy: From the second floor. Lindsay: Ah -- that's not so bad. Troy: Listen, that's not it. I mean when my dad came into the room I told him that Colin was the one that was doing it to me. (Flashback closes) Lindsay: He talked to me about Colin. He talked to me about his parents. He talked to me about his sister. He told me about his whole family when he was pretending to love me. So why wouldn't he tell me about an ex-wife? He knows I of all people, would be the one to understand -- less she's not an ex. Stop it; stop it. You promised yourself you weren't going to think about troy. You're going to forget about Nora. You're free. You're free, Lindsay. That�s all that matters. Emily: No, Troy, I haven't mentioned Joanna's name to anyone except you. Troy: You're sure? Emily: Look, I know that you don't ever plan on telling Nora about Joanna or that you were married. And I totally understand that, considering what happened. Troy: Yeah, but you did tell somebody that I was married, Emily. Emily: I didn't say your name. I just said, �brother's wedding." And if anyone ever asks, I'll say that it was Colin's wedding. Troy: All right, good. You're a smart girl. Emily: Not that anyone ever will ask. The guy that I said it to -- he � he never wants to see me again. Troy: Chad, huh? Emily: Yeah, it was -- it was pretty awful. Troy: I'm sorry, Em. You know what? Why don't you come out to dinner with me, and we can talk all about it? Emily: Thanks. You're buying, right? Troy: Of course I'm buying. Listen, give me a minute to clean up, and I will be down in your apartment and pick you up in 20 minutes? Emily: Ok. But -- Troy: Understood. Emily: Let's not talk about Chad? Troy: Ok. Ok. But you're going to find somebody great. You know that? Emily: Yeah, right. Troy: Hey -- listen to me. You will, ok? You know what? I got a great idea. When Nora gets back in town, we'll see if she knows someone, maybe someone we could -- Emily: No, Troy. No setups. Troy: Yeah, yore probably right. Emily: Although I have to admit, Nora does have pretty great taste. Troy: She does have great taste, doesn't she? Emily: Mm-hmm. Troy: I wonder why she chose me? Emily: You are so lucky. Troy: Yeah, I know I am� Emily: You're going to have a great life with Nora. Troy: Hmm. The best; and you know why? Emily: Why? (Walking towards door) Troy: Because I finally realized that nothing can get in the way. (Lindsay is walking through his halls and she wants to knock on his door but stops herself.) Lindsay: Just forget it. (Turns to leave) No, just move on. Move on. Move on. (He opens door to see her at his door step.) Troy: What the hell are you doing here? (Episode ends.)
