BMW.

Whoopi Goldberg.

I'm late for a meeting.

Just let me out here. I can run, OK?

Cos you guys didn't come in, I asked

you for all the research on Thursday.

When was it? When did I...? Oh! Sorry.

Whoa. Very sorry.

Where was I?

Caught in between

It comes back to

You and me, everchanging times

I gotta find me a better understanding

Every day I keep forgetting what's mine

I gotta find me a way less demanding

Tchaikovsky.

Great gray owl.

Shrimp sushi.

And I had some big ideas

So much of my life's still not completed

Hopes and fears

Watching them change

into something new

Wondering if

I'm going to find the answer

Loving you all of my life

It comes back to

You and me running out of time

I gotta find me a better understanding

Every day I keep forgetting what's mine

I gotta find me a way less demanding

And we're holding on so tight together

If we convince Larrabee that it's a rational

thing to do, which it is, he'll go for it.

Right? So you know what you do?

You put a shark repellent in the deal.

Hey, you know what, Rog?

Let me handle it, OK? Thank you.

Charlotte, can you get me

Elyse ASAP? Thank you.

JC, uh...

I thought you were taking the day off.

What brings you back so early?

- Fate, I think.

- Fate? (chuckles nervously)

- We had a breakfast meeting in here.

- Oh, you did?

- You just have so much more room.

- Big, isn't it?

- I'll be out in just a second.

- OK.

- Excuse me.

- Sorry. I'm sorry.

- Ken, do you know anything about...

- Fritz. Hello.

Oh, you're here.

Listen, Larrabee's all over me about

that target list. Know when it'll be ready?

Oh, I'll have it on your desk

first thing in the morning.

- OK.

- Well, JC, actually I roughed out a draft...

...while you were at that baby thing.

D'you mind if I...?

No. No, not at all.

It wasn't due until tomorrow, but if you

have it done, I... think that that's great.

Oh, terrific.

- Good. Great.

- Great.

(buzzes)

Hey... Ken, this is my office.

- Yeah.

- All right?

OK. Yeah.

JC Wiatt.

- It's for you.

- Oh, great. Thank you.

Mama!

(babbles)

Oh, I see. You took

your diaper off again, didn't you?

Huh? Huh? Huh?

- (sneezes)

- I hope you're not catching a cold again.

You wanna sleep with me tonight?

You know, I sure could use the company.

Mary, would you have Robin see me

as soon as she gets in?

She's already here.

They had an early meeting.

Oh.

(chatter)

Oh, Robin? I need the flash report

in my office right away.

Uh, Ken said that we're going

to pass on the flash report from now on.

Oh, no, no, no, no. Wait a minute now.

Since when is Ken calling the shots?

- Ken?

- Yeah.

I asked Robin for

Food Chain's flash report...

...and you've made a decision

I'm not aware of.

- We talked about this. The figures are...

- Robin, will you excuse us for a moment?

Thank you, Robin.

Their figures are on track for the year...

...and we feel it's counterproductive, so...

- The Food Chain is my account.

I decide what is and

what is not counterproductive!

- You're taking this personally.

- You bet! I'm your superior...

...and I will not be countermanded!

- OK.

Don't walk away from me! If it wasn't

for me, you'd be selling shirts at Barneys!

JC, can I see you for a minute?

Well, of course.

I'm sorry. I know I went over the top,

but this guy's getting out of control.

I know he's inexperienced and young,

but I can't use him any more.

- Pawn him off on somebody else.

- It's not that easy.

Sure it is. Give him to Joel or Ted.

They can use him, but...

- JC! JC.

...I can't use him any more.

I'm turning The Food Chain over to Ken.

No.

This account is too important

for us to take any risks.

Wait a minute. I mean, I...

We have this account because of me!

I know that, but you've changed, JC.

You've lost your concentration.

I don't know, you've gone... soft.

Fritz, a baby came into my life. It's taken

me a few weeks to adjust, but I'm back.

Look, I need a solid team on this thing,

and Larrabee feels comfortable with Ken.

No, I think it's for the best.

I'm putting you on

the Ferber Dog Chow account.

Oh. Well, I see...

I...

I thought that I was gonna be

a partner. That's what I thought.

Well, maybe next year

after things have... cooled down.

Oh, swallow your pride, JC.

Ferber's is a low-profile account. You'll

have more time to spend with the baby.

I told you, you can't have it all.

Nobody can. Not me, not anybody.

I don't even know my grandchildren...

...but I've got this company

grossing $200m a year!

Well, something has got to give!

You've been on the fast track a long time,

kiddo. It's OK to slow down.

Nobody's keeping score.

Fritz, I can't go out there now and say I'm

working on the Ferber Dog Chow account.

Well, I guess you're gonna

have to do what you have to do.

Let me see...

OK. OK.

Hello? Yes, I'm calling about

the 62-acre Vermont estate.

I was wondering, is it still for sale?

Uh-huh.

Honey, you know that big car

I bought yesterday?

Well, the reason I bought it is because

we're gonna go and live in the country.

Yes, we are. Here, look. See? See?

Yes. This is our house!

Can you believe it?

I just phoned the number and I bought it.

Honey, it's so exciting!

We actually own a house

with fruit orchards, a pond and a barn.

Elizabeth, it's going to be

a whole new life for us. Yup.

I'm going to learn to relax and sleep late,

bake apple pies, get into quilts.

I can't wait/ We're gonna be

just like the farmer in the dell.

A cow! Honey, look. Moo!

Over there. Moo, cow. Moo, cow.

- New York plates.

- Oh-oh.

Aaah! Aaah!

Hi! Hi!

We're gonna go. Yeah!

Damn!

Isn't this just fabulous?

I'm gonna rest for just a second.

I'm just a little bit out of shape.

This isn't exactly the rowing machine.

Oh, no, the oars.

Oh, no. Oh, God, I need those.

Don't worry, don't panic.

I can handle this. Everything's fine.

Help!

I think that should be enough for a pie.

(babbles contentedly)

And then the prince

kissed Sleeping Beauty...

...she woke up and looked into the prince's

eyes, and you know what she said?

She said "Thank you for waking me,

Prince, because I overslept...

...and I have medical school today and I'm

going to be an important doctor one day...

...like all women can be."

And then... you know what they did?

They made a date to meet each other

after her graduation.

And you know what?

It's a little bit chilly in here.

Let's go see what the radiator's doing.

Let's see what the radiator's doing.

It's cold. Huh? Huh?

See? Here. Here.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Them pipes is corroded, Miss. There's

no way I can get this system going.

(squawking)

- It's a bad break. Gonna be a cold winter.

- Yeah? How do you know?

Well, you see them birds?

They're gullywillows. When they flap

like that it means a big snow's coming.

- I better call the newspaper.

- Wait. Mr Boone, are you saying...

...there's no way of saving this system?

- Uh, yup.

- Do you know how much it's gonna cost?
