Melrose Place1992

Megan Lewis Mancini:
Look, the hospital board still has no idea about the feud that is going between the two of you, and I've decided that it's going to stay that way. For your welfare and the welfare of Burns-Manicni, a medical corporation.

Dr. Peter Burns:
Well, the lenghts some people will go to keep their job.

Megan Lewis Mancini:
No, it's your job I'm saving, Peter. Let's review the facts. Fact number one: you both acted like insane, egocentric, overly-ambitious idiots.

Dr. Michael Mancini:
And what if that's what we are, huh? Have you ever thought of that?

Dr. Peter Burns:
And that we're proud of it?

Megan Lewis Mancini:
Fact two: through a nefarious plot, worthy of Satan, Michael stole your job, Peter. Fact three: rather then go through the proper authorites of the medical and hospital boards, and the police, you, Peter, attacked and threw Michael through a glass window.

Dr. Peter Burns:
Going to the police or the hospital board wouldn't have accomplished anything. Michael would have just denied everything and then make up some story about my fictitious "medical condition" to the board to put the blame back on me.

Dr. Michael Mancini:
You're right. I definitely would have.

Megan Lewis Mancini:
Enough! Now the purpose of my being here today is to negotiate a peace treaty.

Dr. Peter Burns:
Forget it! I'm not signing anything util he gives me my chief of staff job back.

Dr. Michael Mancini:
Oh, and leaving me with squat, just a pair of crippled mitts? No way, Jose! You're going to pay for this. As much as my acts were evil and amoral, I would never physically attack you.

Megan Lewis Mancini:
Stop it, both of you! Okay? The solution is right here in front of you. Michael, all you have to do is agree to give Peter his job back once your hands are healed. Peter, in exchange for this, all you have to do is keep Michael on at Burns-Maninci as a partner, paying him equally, until he can operate again.

Dr. Michael Mancini:
I am not giving up that job that I scamed so many people for.

Dr. Peter Burns:
And why should I share my money with him?

Megan Lewis Mancini:
Because the alternative sucks, that's why. If either one of you squals, the other one is finished, kaput. I have thought and I have thought about this, okay? And this is your only chance. Now if you were realy good men, you would stand up, shake hands, and that would be the end of that. Your word being your bond.

Dr. Michael Mancini:
And what if we're not good men?

Megan Lewis Mancini:
Then I would have to turn both of you in. We all go down in flames. Michael, you go down for stealing Peter's job, and Peter goes down for assaulting you, and I'm left with nothing. Good riddens!
