Anything for Love Page #4

Here, let me get that.

There.

Good morning, buddy.

How did you sleep?

If it isn't

little miss sunshine.

You ever heard of

something called "karma"?

What about it?

This venom

you're spewing...

It's not going

to help you

in the long run.

Maybe I don't need to worry

so much about the "long-run."

See?

There it is.

That's what I'm talking about.

A good attitude

might help you beat this thing.

The doctor said

a new heart valve

will help me beat this thing.

Your parents know

you play this?

Yeah, they bought it for me.

Helps me...

Distracts me

from my problems.

When's the last time

you read a book?

Yeah, right.

Hey, Kim, what's up?

There's a guy here

to see you.

Who is it?

Says he's a friend of yours.

17th floor.

Okay, thanks.

May I help you?

Hi!

I'm here to see

Debbie celvin.

I'm Debbie...

...celvin's boss.

You're Debbie's boss?

Mm-hmm!

Katherine Benson, yup.

President of, uh,

Benson alliance inc.

Okay.

Debbie's in

a meeting right now,

an assistants' meeting

of all the assistants,

but I can pull her out...

Because I am the boss.

So just wait

over here,

and I'll go get her.

Don't go anywhere.

Okay.

Oh, my gosh!

He's here!

Who's here?

Mr. Hodges...

I didn't know

you were...

It's the decorator...

For the reception area.

He wants to show you

some paint samples.

I thought you already had

the reception area done?

We did.

Yes, well...

Katherine, uh, really

doesn't like the color.

Makes her nauseous.

So... I'll have her back

in a jiffy.

Yep. Come on.

Since when does beige

make anyone dizzy?

Sometimes,

you can be so dense.

Okay.

He's here, he's cute,

and if you mess this up,

he's mine.

Jack?

Jack is here?

Yes, in the reception area.

I will take care

of Charles, and, uh...

I may have told him

that I am your boss, so...

- What?

- Yeah. It's okay. Go.

You're good.

Gorgeous.

Looking great.

'Kay.

Oh, God!

Yeah.

Hey there.

Great tie.

Thank you.

[Katherine laughs,

clears throat.

Hi!

Hi! Jack!

Uh, what a surprise.

I didn't get you in trouble

with your boss, did I?

No, no. No.

It's... fine.

Did you get

my flowers?

Yes! Thank you.

They're beautiful.

You're welcome.

Um, hey, did you want

to go grab a bite

to eat with me?

There's a place I know

that's great,

and it's really close.

Oh! Um...

I'm not ready

to quit for the night.

I have, uh...

That's okay.

I'll wait.

What time do you get off?

I've really got to work

on this deal

that's closing, so...

It can wait.

No, it can't.

Yes, it can.

Remember, I am

the boss of you,

and what I say goes.

I work her

to the bone,

and she really deserves

a night out.

So get out of here,

you two.

And you can thank me

tomorrow...

If you decide

to come in.

Thank you, miss, uh...

No "Benson" here.

Call me Katherine,

or better yet, "Katie."

- Thank you, Katie.

- Yeah.

- 'Kay.

- Get out!

Okay, thanks, Katie!

Get your horse

and carriage.

Get out of here,

you cute kids.

You look great

together.

I love

what's happening.

What a tangled web we weave.

When I was a kid,

I used to go to work

with my dad on Saturdays,

and we would come

here for lunch.

Oh, what does he do?

He used to be

a typesetter

for the "Chicago tribune,"

but him and my mom

both passed.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's okay.

He would have so much ink

on his hands,

that no matter what he tried,

he couldn't get it off.

He'd get so embarrassed

that he would have to put them

in his pockets.

Aw...

Yeah... and he said to me

that I have to find a job

where I would never

have to get my hands dirty.

Oh!

Well, he must have been

very proud of you.

He was.

Everything okay?

You haven't touched your food.

Oh! Yeah.

I'm just missing silverware.

Oh-ho-ho...

Oh, no.

You've got to eat

with your hands.

It's the house rules.

Okay, this is

how it's done.

Okay...

Take a piece,

you dunk,

like this.

Mm!

Now you.

Even just

a plastic fork is...

Okay...

Trust me.

It tastes

so much better like this.

Just... go for it.

Okay...

Okay, okay.

Mm-hmm, take a piece.

And, uh...

Take a dunk.

You dunk it.

Uh-huh.

Yup...

And then

have at it.

I don't even know what...

Just go for it.

Just go for it!

Yeah!

Mm!

Oh, my goodness!

Oh, it's so good!

See? See?

I told you.

Um...

Well, I had better

get back to it.

Really?

Yeah.

Yeah, your boss

is long-gone, no?

Oh, no. No...

You don't know her.

She's, uh...

She practically lives here.

That's a shame.

Do you ever go all

the way up to the top?

Yeah, um...

I think I was

about eight.

No way!

You work in this

building every day,

and you don't go

up to the top?

Come on.

Come on...

If you look

over there,

you can see

all the way

to Wisconsin.

Oh, wow.

Have you ever been

to Wisconsin?

No.

It's incredible,

the pine trees

and the fresh air, and...

You go outside at night there,

and you look up at the stars,

and you can't even believe

there are that many stars

in the universe.

It's my favorite place

in the world.

Sounds beautiful.

I have a little cabin

in lake Geneva

that my parents left me.

Oh, wow!

We could go up

for the weekend.

Oh... I don't know.

It has

two bedrooms.

Oh!

Um...

No, I just, uh...

I just have to work

this weekend.

Sorry.

It's okay.

It's not your fault.

We'll just...

We'll do it

another time.

I'd like that.

How about

next weekend?

Oh...

Next weekend, um...

I've got to work on

this deal that's closing.

And the weekend

after that?

Yeah...

Okay, now I'm starting

to get the feeling

that there's something

you're not telling me.

What do you mean?

Debbie,

if you're not into me...

It's... it's okay.

Oh, no, no,

that's not it.

Because if you don't

want to see me,

I mean, you could just...

Go ahead and say so.

I...

I can handle it.

I want to see you.

I want to go to

the cabin with you.

Good...

Because I lied.

I wouldn't have been able

to handle it.

Good.

I like you, Debbie.

I just don't want

you to think

that I go around inviting women

up to the cabin.

You're the only one.

I'm sorry, I'm having, like,

an allergic reaction.

Oh-ho, that...

That is a first.

I've never had

that effect on a woman.

No...

No, it's...

I don't know,

the chicken, or...

The hot sauce.

I'm not good

with spices.

I think...

Cinnamon is about

as far as I go,

and so... even that's

pretty adventurous.

This is...

It's... yeah.

It's the hot sauce.

I think you've just got

to build up your tolerance.

You know, fight fire

with fire.

Any more fire

in here,

and we'll have

to call 911.

Let me look at it.

It's... look.

Yeah, yeah,

don't touch it.

You have a rash,

but it's going

to clear up

if you drink

plenty of water

and 50 milligrams

of Benadryl

every four hours.

Okay!

- You hear me?

- Yes.

50 milligrams.

No more, no less.

You are bossy.

I am bossy!

Yeah, it's true

what they say

about doctors.

You have

a God complex, huh?

Wait, what?

That was a joke.

I'm sorry.
