How do you know?

I know Sanders, remember?

He likes his secrets.

Excuse me.

-I'll be in diagnostics.

-Where were you?

They're pulling the drives apart.

-John Levin called.

-Levin with Sematach?

-He said it was important.

-Why didn't they come this morning?

Susan called to remind you

you had the benefit tonight.

-Call Susan and--

-She said don't think about canceling.

-The Lewyns paid a lot for the tickets.

-I'll be there at 7:30.

-Ask her to bring me a shirt and jacket.

-Sure. Tom.

-Yeah.

-Is everything all right?

Everything is fine, thank you for asking.

I'm gonna kill Arthur.

We gotta solve this before Friday,

and you get the drives an hour ago?

LEWYN:

What is Arthur doing over there?

All he does anymore is pass

macadamia nuts to people.

Is he a manager or a flight attendant,

for chrissake?

-He's sending you nuts?

-What's slowing it down?

Over here.

Let me show you something.

Arthur was right.

There's a compatibility problem

with the controller chip.

Is it a bug?

Don Cherry debugged Arcamax.

There are no bugs.

-Fabrication problem?

-It could--

-What are you doing?

-Huh?

This is a sophisticated piece

of electronics, not a pickup truck.

Don, how bad is it? We have 4,000

of these. I gotta junk all of them?

I told Arthur to send me 10 units in

heat-sealed plastic bags. It's a hunch I have.

Do what you can.

I don't understand it.

In prototypes, we got no problems.

We go to manufacturing, it falls apart.

Mr. Garvin wants to see you.

He said not to tell anyone.

Catherine Alvarez on 2.

Thanks. Could you close the door?

Hello.

Hi. How are you?

They wanna mediate. We should agree.

I don't want this getting out either.

Mm-hm.

Yeah.

If we get this all over in a week,

my wife doesn't have to know.

No, I do not wanna tell my wife.

I don't wanna upset her if I don't have to.

Yeah.

Wait a second.

Guess what.

They locked me out of my computer

and cleaned out my files.

I guess it's starting.

Mark, come in.

Sure I'm not interrupting?

No, not at all, sir.

Going down?

Aw, don't tell me you're scared of me.

I didn't want it to be this way.

Oh, yeah, we could be f***ing

in the elevator right now.

-I think of you as a friend.

-Oh, come off it!

You called Blackburn--

To beat you to the punch.

I knew you'd play that card.

I wasn't playing a card.

You were the one that was supposed--

[ALARM BUZZING]

Uh-oh. Alarm. Alarm. Alarm.

This isn't a game.

Come on. You'd have a great job,

the spin-off would make you a millionaire.

We'd have a little fun.

It's not like breaking rocks.

You don't get it.

Poor Sanders. You have no idea

what you're up against.

As usual.

By this time tomorrow

you'll wish you took that Austin job.

We'll see.

SUSAN:
I'm trying to figure out whether

to get a fat Barbie for Eliza.

ADELE:

Mattel makes a fat Barbie?

SUSAN:
Yeah. They call her

the "Happy to Be Me Barbie."

ADELE:
Does she come with the

"Happy to Be Divorced Ken"?

SUSAN:

Heh. I'm serious.

Which is more stigmatizing?

Yeah, Barbie's stigmatized.

It's that whole male,

Women are oppressed.

It's just a fact.

Women are oppressed? Ah.

Eighty percent of suicides are committed by

men. They're dropping from heart attacks.

-You're not as tough.

-Sorry. We're just fighting the wars.

You start the wars.

I'm sorry.

I don't have my own crisis hotline.

-You're taking this Meredith thing well.

-That doesn't have anything to do with it.

What was today's rumor?

She was once a man?

-Just tell her.

-Tell her what?

Tell her there's a lot of us

who have worked as hard as you...

...and you're blowing this merger

for all of us because you f***ed up.

What happened?

-Who got to you?

-It's not that simple, Tom.

The thought of losing millions happens

to get stuck right here in my throat.

This was my big shot, a**hole.

It's not like I'm being scouted by the NBA.

Mark, what happened?

Who knows? The old girlfriend,

the bottle of wine, the late meeting...

-...fill in the blanks.

-Thanks, pal. Thanks.

You're like these women...

...who think they're going back

to the hotel room, drunk, to watch HBO.

Could you possibly be more lame?

For your information, Mark,

Tom told me everything.

Everything that happened.

And I support him 100 percent.

-That is so sweet, but I don't think--

-I don't think we should talk about it.

Can we just enjoy the evening?

TOM:
Susan--

-Obviously, something happened.

-Did you have sex with her?

-No!

-Think first. Because if you're lying--

-No, I said, no.

She kissed me, and she unzipped

my pants, and....

-And?

-And that was it. Nothing happened.

Nothing happened?

How did it get that far?

-You think I encouraged her?

-Her hand was in your pants?

-Yeah, but nothing happened.

-How did that happen?

Then she accuses me

of sexual harassment--

-She harassed you?

-You don't believe me?

-Mark doesn't believe you.

-Mark.

He's got, uh, stock options on the brain.

He's got fits of back-stabbing.

Everybody's sure you're having

an affair with Cindy.

-I'm not having an affair.

-How could you let this happen?

-Nothing happened.

-Something happened.

She's an old girlfriend of yours.

Like I'm surprised. That's as

exclusive a club as the white pages.

-I was gonna tell you.

-I can't believe everyone knows but me.

-Nobody knows it.

-You're so naive. Of course they know.

I'm old-fashioned.

I greet my subordinates with a handshake.

-I'll take care of it.

-Jesus.

What does she look like?

She's attractive.

One to ten.

Eight.

Nine.

What does the company say?

They want me to transfer to Austin,

do some therapy.

Austin? I'm not moving there.

-We're not moving to Austin.

-Texas?

TOM:
Susan, I'm pressing charges.

SUSAN:
For what?

Sexual harassment.

We have a mediation tomorrow.

When were you gonna tell me?

That's brilliant.

Show up without your wife, who's a lawyer.

I'll take care of it.

They'll try to destroy you.

-It won't go that far.

-It'll take over our life.

Depositions and whispering and legal fees

for some damn personal vindication.

And all anyone remembers is that

you were involved in something sleazy.

-Do you have a lawyer?

-Catherine Alvarez.

Great. When are we on Hard Copy?

But if it had happened to you--

You know how many times

it's happened to me?

-You never said this ever happened--

-You're so narcissistic.

Nothing ever happens

until it happens to you.

-You should've said something.

-I do what women always do.

I deal with it. I do not make a federal case.

Now go in there tomorrow and work it out.

Right. I should shut up and f*** her.

What the hell?

Apologize and get your job back.

-Apologize?

WOMAN:
Shh, shh!

The children are sleeping.

Wait, I got a better idea.

Why don't I just admit it?

I'll be the evil white male

you're all complaining about.

-Then I can f*** everybody.

-Tom, stop it.

Chau-Minh, come on down,

I wanna exercise my dominance!

-You're scaring her.

-I have an urge!

-The children!
