YOU SEE THE DODGER GAME

LAST NIGHT?

MANNY CRACKED IT OUT.

UH, WELL, I WORK SO MUCH,

I DON'T REALLY HAVE TIME

TO FOLLOW BASEBALL.

IT'S A GREAT SPORT.

OH, NO, IT'S AWESOME.

DADDY!

HEY, GIRLS!

YOU DONE PLAYING ALREADY?

OH, MISS THING

WAS THIRSTY.

HEY, BIRTHDAY GIRL,

I WANT YOU TO MEE MY FRIEND, JONATHAN.

IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU, PAIGE.

NICE TO MEET YOU TOO.

UH, NOW, PAIGE,

FORGIVE ME.

I DON'T KNOW YOU

VERY WELL,

SO I WAS JUST WONDERING,

ARE YOU A PRINCESS EVERY DAY

OR JUST TODAY:

ON YOUR SPECIAL SIXTH BIRTHDAY?

WELL, I'M A PRINCESS

EVERY DAY,

BUT I DON'T SHOW IT OFF

ALL THE TIME,

ONLY ON SPECIAL DAYS.

WELL, I THINK THAT'S

A GOOD IDEA, PRINCESS PAIGE.

'CAUSE IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY.

IT'S AWESOME!

I'VE GO THIS OLD '57 I'M FIXING UP.

IT IS GORGEOUS.

HEY, JONATHAN LOVES CARS.

TELL HIM.

OH. NO, UH...

WELL, NOT EXACTLY.

I-I PAINT MODEL CARS.

YOU MEAN, LIKE KIT CARS

THAT YOU FIX UP:

AND YOU CAN RIDE.

UH, NO, MODELS,

LIKE, UH, YOU KNOW, TOY CARS?

CLASSICS MAINLY.

I MEAN, THEY'RE NO FOR PLAYING WITH, OF COURSE,

BUT THEY'RE FOR DISPLAY.

OOH, BABE, TELL HIM

ABOUT THE ONE THAT I PAINTED.

UH, IT STARTED WITH A "V."

- VIPER.

VIPER?

OH, MAN, A VIPER.

YOU GUYS REMEMBER MR. CHAVEZ

FROM THE OLD NEIGHBORHOOD?

HE HAD THAT CAMARO

THAT HE SAID:

HAD A VIPER ENGINE IN IT.

HE SAID HE FOUND I AT THE DUMP.

THE OLD MAN COULDN'T GE THAT THING TO GO ABOVE 40.

IT WAS AWESOME.

[laughing]

WONDER WHERE HE IS?

YOU LIKE THAT?

PERFECT.

[Paige giggles]

SO IS THIS:

THE BEST BIRTHDAY PARTY

YOU GUYS HAVE EVER BEEN TO

OR WHAT?

PRETTY MUCH?

YEAH, I THINK SO.

OOH, DID YOU TRY

A CUPCAKE YET?

I'M GETTING ONE.

NOW, THOUGH--

[laughing]

DUDE, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO--

I CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU.

BIRTHDAY GIRL.

HERE YOU GO, SWEETS.

DID EVERYBODY GE A PIECE OF CAKE?

YOU WANT SOME CAKE?

WHO NEEDS A PAPER TOWEL?

EVERYBODY NEEDS A PAPER TOWEL.

THERE WE GO.

EXCUSE ME.

OH, SORRY.

NO, YOU'RE GOOD.

DON'T YOU WANT A CUPCAKE?

HERE WE GO.

HERE WE GO.

THERE. ENJOY.

[kids laughing]

OF COURSE, YES.

I'LL GET YOU ONE RIGHT NOW.

I FROZE AT AUTO-SE MAKE A TUNE,

INTERNET:

HEARD MY NAME:

HEY, LIB?

UM, I DON'T MEAN

TO SOUND HARSH,

BUT I DON'T, UH...

I DON'T THINK

THAT YOUR JONATHAN

IS HAVING A VERY GOOD TIME.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

HE'S HAVING A GREAT TIME.

THIS IS:

A REALLY FUN PARTY.

OH!

UH, GOD.

LET ME CALL YOU BACK,

ALL RIGHT?

DON'T CRY

SOMEBODY LOVES YOU

BUT TONIGHT...

HEY, JONATHAN.

OH, NICK.

I'M NOT IN THE MOOD

TO HEAR YOUR COMMENTS

ABOUT LIBBY, ALL RIGHT?

DUDE,

WE HAVE BIGGER ISSUES.

YOU INVERTED THE STOCK PRICE

ON THE KELLER AGREEMENT.

INSTEAD OF $51 A SHARE,

THIS SAYS:

THAT THE BELL CORPORATION

IS BUYING OUT 60%

OF KELLER'S STOCK

AT $15 A SHARE.

YOU THINK KELLER

WAS SKITTISH BEFORE?

HA! WITH THESE PRICES,

HE CAN'T EVEN AFFORD OUR FEES.

DID THE PARTNERS SEE THIS?

NO.

I CAUGHT IT FIRST.

LISTEN, JOHN,

I GET WHAT YOU SEE IN LIBBY.

I DO.

TRUST ME, I HAVE DATED

MY FAIR SHARE OF PARTY GIRLS.

LIBBY IS NOT A PARTY GIRL.

BUT YOU'RE

A PARTNER NOW.

NOW IS NOT THE TIME

FOR YOU TO BE GETTING DISTRACTED

OR MAKING MISTAKES.

AND I KNOW YOU'RE GONNA

THINK I'M A JERK

AND A SNOB FOR SAYING THIS,

BUT COME ON.

LIBBY IS NEVER GOING TO FI IN YOUR LIFE.

I MEAN,

WOULDN'T THE NICE THING BE

JUST TO END IT NOW

BEFORE IT GETS TOO COMPLICATED?

[sighs]

JONATHAN?

YOU ALL RIGHT?

HMM, I DON'T KNOW.

[sighs]

REMEMBER WHEN YOU TOLD ME

THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION

TO CERTAIN PEOPLE

WHO ENTER YOUR LIFE?

SURE, I DO.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF THAT PERSON

IS THE RIGHT PERSON?

WHAT IF THE BEST THING TO DO

IS TO LET THEM GO,

AND HOW CAN YOU:

TELL THE DIFFERENCE?

THOSE ARE:

ALL GOOD QUESTIONS.

IS EVERYTHING OKAY

WITH YOU AND LIBBY?

I DON'T KNOW. I JUST--

I LEAD:

A VERY STRUCTURED LIFE,

AND LIBBY:

IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE.

YOU KNOW,

I'M NOT USED TO THAT.

THAT CAN BE A GOOD THING.

YOU CAN LEARN:

FROM EACH OTHER.

AND, JONATHAN,

YOU KNOW, THE ANSWER

TO A GOOD RELATIONSHIP

IS COMPROMISE.

JUST...IT'S CONFUSING,

YOU KNOW?

YOU ARE THE ONE THAT SOLVES

PROBLEMS FOR A LIVING.

[laughs] YEAH.

WELL, MILLION-DOLLAR MERGERS

SEEMS LIKE CHILD'S PLAY

COMPARED TO THIS.

[groans]

I BETTER GET GOING.

I HAVE AN EARLY MEETING

IN THE MORNING.

ALL RIGHT.

[engines revving]

SORRY.

OH, HEY, I KEEP

FORGETTING TO ASK YOU.

UM, MARTY AND TESSA

HAVE TWO EXTRA TICKETS

TO THE DODGER GAME

TOMORROW NIGHT.

YOU WANT TO GO?

I CAN'T. I HAVE A DINNER

WITH CLIENTS TOMORROW.

- OH.

- WHAT ABOUT THE NEXT NIGHT?

UM, NO,

I GOT A CATERING GIG.

HOW ABOUT THE NEXT NIGHT?

UH, LET ME SEE.

LET ME SEE.

UM...

UH, NO. ACTUALLY, I'M OU WITH NICK THAT EVENING.

WHAT ABOUT THIS WEEKEND?

WELL, FRIDAY NIGHT,

I'M DJing A SWEET 16,

AND THEN SATURDAY I'M

CATER-WAITERING AT A WEDDING,

AND THEN SUNDAY IS...

THE SPA.

LIB, DON'T YOU EVER WAN TO PICK ONE JOB

AND STICK WITH IT?

I DON'T KNOW.

I MEAN, WHY SHOULD WE

HAVE TO PICK ONE THING?

ONE THING:

CAN BE SO BORING.

I KNOW, I JUST--

I WORRY ABOUT YOU, YOU KNOW?

IT'S LIKE

IF LIFE WAS AN OCEAN,

I MEAN, MOST OF US

ARE CONSTANTLY SWIMMING

TOWARDS SOMETHING.

YOU KNOW, SOME GOAL

OR A PLAN,

AND I DON'T KNOW,

YOU JUST KIND OF LE THE CURRENT DRAG YOU AROUND.

JUST BECAUSE:

I DON'T HAVE EVERYTHING

PLANNED OUT LIKE YOU DO,

I MEAN, THAT DOESN'T MEAN

I'M BEING...

JUST DRAGGED AROUND.

LOOK, EVERYONE

IS AFRAID TO FAIL, OKAY?

BUT YOU'RE NEVER

GONNA SUCCEED:

UNLESS YOU FULLY COMMI TO SOMETHING.

I MEAN, I KNOW YOU FEEL

LIKE YOU'RE PROBABLY

PROTECTING YOURSELF,

BUT YOU'RE REALLY

JUST MISSING OUT.

THAT'S JUST YOUR OPINION.

I DON'T FEEL LIKE

I'M MISSING OUT ON ANYTHING.

I MEAN, YOU SPEND ALL THIS TIME

PLANNING EVERYTHING,

YOU DON'T EVEN END UP

LIVING ANYTHING.

ALL RIGHT,

I DON'T WANT TO ARGUE.

- NO, WE'RE NOT ARGUING.

- OKAY.

I DON'T WANT TO ARGUE.

I JUST-- I WANT YOU

TO BE HAPPY, THAT'S ALL.

IAMHAPPY.

I MEAN, AREN'T YOU HAPPY?

OF COURSE, YES.

OKAY, SO THEN

LET'S JUST BE HAPPY.

OKAY?

- OKAY.

OH, AND MAKE SURE

WE HAVE LUNCH TOGETHER.

OKAY.

I'LL SEE YOU.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

HEY.

HEY.

IS JONATHAN READY

FOR LUNCH?

OH, HE'S NOT BACK YET, LIBBY.

OH.

GET THIS TO RICHARD

UPSTAIRS A.S.A.P., ALL RIGHT?

CAN YOU GET O'DONNELL

ON THE LINE, PLEASE?

HEY. ARE WE STILL

GOING TO LUNCH?

UH, LIBBY, I CAN'T,

ALL RIGHT?

SOMETHING CAME UP.

I'M SORRY.

WEREN'T YOU JUST SAYING

THERE'S MORE TO LIFE THAN WORK?

I MEAN,

THERE'S NOTHING SO IMPORTAN IT CAN'T WAIT AN HOUR

SO YOU CAN GE SOMETHING TO EAT.

ACTUALLY, THAT'S NOT TRUE,

ALL RIGHT?

THIS ENTIRE DEAL

COULD FALL THROUGH

WITHIN THE HOUR IT TAKES ME

TO GO TO LUNCH WITH YOU.

MY JOB IS VERY IMPORTAN TO ME, LIBBY.

PLEASE TRY:

TO UNDERSTAND THAT.

ROSEMARY, DO YOU HAVE HIM?

- LINE TWO.

- THANK YOU.

HELLO?

YES, MR. O'DONNELL.

YES. YES, I GOT THE CONTRAC RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, SIR.

I KNOW THESE AREN'T THE NUMBERS

WE AGREED ON.

I KNOW. I'M NOT HAPPY

ABOUT IT EITHER,

TO HIS ASSISTANT,

AND-- AND I DON'T KNOW
