You know, just trying to move the process along, Jeffrey.

is that there is a process.

is that I'm a businessman, Jeffrey,
and what I understand is winning.
Now, my wife and I patiently waited for you to call us
for over three weeks.
We took matters into our own hands,
when all that was really necessary
was for you to make a simple phone call to Everett.
- Sometimes, my friend, things aren't as simple as they look.
However, I have spoken to my client.
He's made his intentions very clear,
and he will be here this afternoon
to sign the paperwork.

Are you gonna be down in West Palms this winter?
- Oh, cut the crap, Everett.
Why are you doing this?
You know you're supposed to sell that land back to me.
- Back? What do you mean?
- When Moses and I were first married,
his father was having trouble keeping the bank.
So to help his father, Moses sold the land
to Everett's granddaddy, with a stipulation
that if it was ever sold,
ownership would be offered to the Brittons
at fair market value.
- Is that true?
- That may have been mentioned a time or two.
My grandfather and old man Britton, they were friends.
So they would help each other out from time to time.
- Exactly.
Which is why it had no business being
announced at a community meeting, with what,
just anybody to hear?
You know good and damn well that your father
promised to sell that deed back to us
right before he got sick.
- He may have.
But Carolyn, I'm not my father
or my grandfather.
I have to live off of this estate.
I mean, other than this land and the house
we sold on River Road, you know, Daddy really didn't
leave me much to live on.
- Oh, poor Everett.
Fool, I would have offered you fair market value.
- That's only $4 million.
I'm getting eight, unless of course, you want
to bid a little higher.
I mean, we haven't signed the deed yet, right? So--
- This is exactly what you wanted to happen.
You purposefully created a bidding war.
You manipulative, conniving, little--
- Pot meet kettle.
I guess you'll just have to decide how much this property
really means to the Brittons.
And if it means that much to you,
then I guess you'll have no problem
doing what needs to be done.
Jeffrey, why don't we give Carolyn an extra couple of days

always a pleasure seeing you.

- I hear you. Okay. - All right. Hey.
Pleasure, man. Thank you so much.

We're gonna make sure we get you one of those phone

Ohh, whoo!
Yo, Vanessa, this was major!
- Mm-hmm. - I don't know how I'm
gonna repay you.

You could buy me dinner,
and then we could hit the after party.
- Oh, I can definitely do that. - All right.
- My treat. - Let's go.
- Yeah. [laughs]
- You should be proud of yourself.
The way you handled that Anthony Johnson
and Sing situation was brilliant.
- [chuckles]
Yeah, it was masterful, wasn't it?
- It was.
And sexy as hell, might I add.
I love a boss who knows his power.
- Not the boss I wanna be yet.
But if I keep following my father's footsteps,
soon coming.
So am I gonna see you this weekend or what?
- I don't think so.
Richard asked me to go to Provincetown this weekend.
- And you're going?
- Yes.
I'm tired of being your little secret.
But let me let you in on a little secret.
Richard proposed to me last week with a ring.
- And what did you say?
And remember, you told me you two weren't that serious.
- The fact that that man loves me and doesn't care who knows
makes me see how serious he is.
- You never answered my question.
What did you say?
- I told him I was coming here for the Fourth of July.
- [sighs]
- And I'd give him an answer when I returned.
His parents love me.
- You can't marry him, Morgan.
You love me.
- You're right.
I do.
But as much as I love you, I'll never have with you
what I can have with him. - Don't say that.
We've got ten years invested in this.
If you're looking for a commitment,
then that's what you'll get.
- Well, we both know that we can't have that.
It's been over ten years, and you haven't even
told your mother about us.
- Then that's what I'll go do right now
if it's gonna stop you from marrying Richard.
I can't lose you, Morgan.
I'm willing to do anything to prove it.
