but I told him that

I needed space, you know?

Spazio, Rudolfo!

Spazio.

Oh! This is so tiny

and cute. I love it.

Ah. Feels so good

to be home.

Six months away

feels like forever.

Mom was my age,you know?

- Almost to the day.

- Yeah.

It was the perfect wedding--

The Boathouse, the big band,

ceremony at sunset.

Except that dress.

I mean, the synthetic lace

and the inverted box pleats.

I think it was perfect.

- Well, they really did love each other.

- Yeah.

What are these?

Wedding announcements?

I'm-- No. They're just--

I was--

Excuse me. I was going

to recycle them.

Well, excuse me.

Into what? Wallpaper?

It's just this one guy.

Malcolm Doyle-- I only keep his.

He writes the best ones.

I just-- I love the stories--

The crazy proposals...

the engagements.

Yeah. Never mind. It's not really your thing.

So, um, how long you stayin'?

Um, a week or two 'cause the fall fashion

shows are done, so I don't have much work.

Speaking of work. I am meeting up with some

people from the office tonight for a party.

- You wanna come?

- Actually, I'm having drinks

with some friends from Milan.

All right. So, let me

get this straight.

You would rather go have drinks

with Italian models...

than come to my awesome

work party?

- Weird, huh?

- Yeah.

- But I'll try to make it.

- Well, thanks.

Grey Goose is in the freezer.

Red Bull's on top of the 'fridge.

-In the cupboard there are--

- Strawberry Pop Tarts.Jinx!

I said it first. I beat you.

- St. Marks and A.

- You got it.

- Hi, Gina.

- Hey, George.

- Great party.

- Thanks for comin'.

- You got them champagne glasses

and a bottle of Cristal.

- Good.

All right. Any way she's gonna believe

that it actually came from me?

- Maybe. I wrapped it like a car ran over it.

- Nice. Nice touch.

Ah, look. I'm gonna go to the bar,

get a couple of drinks.

You guys need anything.

A little liquid courage?

Maybe some hair of the dog for you?

I'm good. Thanks.

He asks if you want a drink,

you smile and you say, "Vodka soda."

If you already have a drink, you down it. Then

there's some flirting, some interoffice sex...

an accidental pregnancy,

a shotgun wedding and a life of bliss.

How many times do we

have to go over this?

- I don't want him

to think I'm irresponsible.

- Hey, guys.

Yeah. That's what guys want,

responsible. Mmm!

You're wrong. George appreciates

me for the way I am.

What good is it being

appreciated if no one is naked?

Hey,Jane. Look.

By the way...

did you get that thing

I left on your desk this morning?

- O-On my desk?

- Yeah. Was that okay?

- Okay? It was great.

- Okay. Good. Good.

'Cause, you know, we haven't really

had that kind of relationship before...

so I just wanted to make sure

you were okay with it.

- George!

- All right. Excuse me.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

He gave me flowers. He gave me flowers.

Okay. Stop it. This is real life.

This is not a fantasy.

You have to go over there

and tell him how you feel.

Okay. It's now or never,

so-- so now.

- Now, now. Go. Now!

- Yeah.

Whoo!

-Jane.

- Sorry.

George, this is my sister, Tess. Tess, this is

my George-- No! I didn't mean it like that.

Jane is my assistant.

Kind of like my right hand.

Lucky her.

Yeah.

It's kind of like whatever I need,

she takes care of.

As if I don't take enough

advantage of her already...

I even dropped my dry cleaning

slip off on her desk today.

Your dry cleaning slip.

- It was an emergency, so--

- Of course.

Good fluff-and-fold

is no joking matter.

Yeah. Especially when you're

down to your last pair of socks.

Right.

- You wanna get a drink?

- Mm-hmm.

Came to have a drink

with my sister.

Janey?

Hi. How are ya?

Were the flowers too much?

- They're from you.

- Uh-huh.

You sent them.

The angry marriage-hater.

Oh, that's--That's such...

good news.

Good news. Hey, Kev,

can you hold this for one sec?

- Uh, sure.

- Thanks.

Motherf--

Why? Why?

Oh.

I'm so sorry.

Congratulations.

Fifty. Wow. That's--

I'm sorry.

You were saying.

Uh, I just asked

if you'd got my flowers.

Oh, and I have

something for you.

I wanted to give you-

- Here you are.

- Oh, my God. Thank God.

Yeah. You left it in the cab.

It was either the engagement party tonight...

or Thursday's bikini wax,

so-- I thought that--

- You read it?

- Yeah. Well, no. I tried to read it.

It was very hard. All your little notes

in the little cramped handwriting.

It's very Unabomber. You know, they do have

these Space Age computer date books now...

- that take care of everything for you.

- Oh, yes.

- I don't need to be taken care of. Thank you.

- Uh, have a drink with me.

- Yeah?

- Uh, you know--

Thank you for bringing back

my Filofax. That was very nice.

It's a drink. It's not a week in Oahu.

Come on. It'll take the edge off.

Come on.Just one drink.

I'm sorry. I'm really not

gonna be very much...

fun tonight.

Got it. Totally got it. So maybe

I'll bump into you on Thursday.

Maybe not. I'll see

you around.

Who was that? And where

can I get one?

Is he coming back?

That's freakin' insane. I could never do that.

- No, no.

- You didn't eat it?

Oh, my God.

I didn't even see it. I promise.

It's late. You must be exhausted.

Let's--You wanna--

- Let's go dancing.

- What? No. I don't-- George, you don't wanna--

Yeah. No. I'll go.

Okay.

- Yeah, but I gotta warn you.

I'm a terrible dancer.

- Come on.

No. It's true. In fact, on several occasions,

they've had to call the paramedics.

- You wanna come too,Jane?

- Um--

No, no. You guys go.

- Have a good time.

- Okay. Let's go.

Go to sleep,Jane.

Go to sleep.

# Well, sometimes

I go out by myself #

#And I look across

the water #

#And I think of all the things

what you're doin'#

#And in my head

I paint a picture #

# 'Cause since I come home #

# Well, my body's been

a mess #

#And I miss your tender hair #

#And the way

you like to dress #

#Oh, won't you come on over #

#Stop making a fool

out of me #

# Why don't you come on over,

Valerie ##

Oh, hi, Tess.

How was your date? Nice? What?

You talked about me

the whole time?

Don't feel bad. I'm a really important

part of his life.

We spend every hour,

every day together.

- Hey! Still up?

- Hi.

Yeah. Yeah,just doin' a little bit of cleaning.

Harnessing my chi.

Janey, I had...

the best night ever.

Oh, that's right!

I totally forgot you went out.

- Ow!

- Is that weird for you?

What? Weird? Why would it be weird?

He's my boss. I don't care. Whatever.

- Okay. Great. 'Cause we're

having lunch tomorrow.

- That's so great!

Yeah. I think so too.

Except not quite at that decibel.

So tell me about George.

Oh. Well. I--

Uh, he, uh--

Well, he dropped

out of college...

and then climbed

every major peak in the world.

And then he started Urban Everest

from his apartment...

and turned it into one of the most eco-friendly

philanthropic businesses in the world--

all before he was 30.

- Wow.
