I Don't Know How She Does It Page #6

I am so, so, so sorry, honey.

I know you have a dinner,

and I am on my way

and then you can go.

I am on the stairs.

I'm approaching

a revolving door.

I am in the revolving door.

A woman just keeps the puzzle

of family life in her head.

She just does.

The inside of a working

woman's head is like...

...the control tower at O'Hare Airport.

Richard, honey!

I'm here! I'm home!

- Mommy, Mommy!

- Hi, honey. Where's Daddy?

- He had to go to dinner.

- He's at dinner?

Then who are you here with?

I'm sorry,

I didn't know what to do.

- Yeah, I know that, but...

- So I called Wendy what's-her-name,

and I asked if her babysitter

could come over after work.

You called Wendy "I do

everything perfectly best"?

And then you left my kids

with somebody that I don't know?

Kate, you weren't here.

I left them with a sitter.

- Yes, who doesn't know them.

- It was OK!

Sometimes OK has to be good enough.

I mean, the kids are fine.

So, in this case, I would say

the old lady was the perfect babysitter.

Getting a backup sitter

is on my list.

Oh, Jesus, with these lists.

Really?

I mean, do Pilates,

bake lasagna,

you might as well

put down dock the space station.

Well, that's not very nice. You know,

I get a lot done from those lists.

I know, I'm sorry, honey.

Let's just... let's go to bed. OK?

Wait, Richard, wait.

I have to go to Cleveland tomorrow.

It's just for one night.

Jack and I have to meet

these potential brokers,

you know, to just get a sense of how

much they're willing to commit

before we put this

in front of Harcourt, and...

Come on. Let's go to bed.

I'm still...

I'm still in here.

Look, you have to travel

in this job. We're road warriors.

And if you are tethered to anything,

uh, then you are a bird that cannot fly.

And no one goes to a pet store

and says,

"I would like a bird that cannot fly. "

...volatility...

We're talking about bringing

a closed-in...

Thank you.

They'll be some

persuading Harcourt to commit.

Thank you very much.

How big was the potato

that this came from?

This is the sort of thing

that cracks my family up.

Sorry.

So the brokers,

you feel good about them?

They love it. You know...

Should we go visit some of the

famous sights of Cleveland?

What were they again?

You wanna know the joke

of business travel?

My mother always says,

"Oh, it must be so exciting

to see all those different cities,"

but we mostly just see

the insides of hotels and airports.

Mm-hm. Not tonight.

- You bowl?

- Do I look like I bowl?

You guys are all set, except it's gonna

be like a half hour for a lane

because it's R&B night.

Unless you wanna play

with one of the groups.

They can get

a little competitive.

# I'm just a sucker for love

- # For love

- # I'm just a sucker for love

# Sucker for love

Sucker for love

Ah!

You're little,

but you can throw! Whoo!

Just watch and learn.

Lumber Liquidators

is going down!

Timber!

Abelhammer, you're next!

Show them what

you can do, New York!

It's pretty simple.

You just balance, and then you...

...aim right down the center.

I'm just gonna throw it

and hope for the best, OK?

Whoo!

OK, I got it!

- I got it!

- They get a little slippery.

OK.

# I'm just a sucker for love

Sucker for love

# Sucker for love, baby

Max's Automotives is going down!

I see what you mean! Bowling's fun!

- Hey, time to refuel.

- Cheers, everyone.

Well done.

Yeah!

Oh... Very nice.

Doesn't she look like me?

Oh!

If you win this for us,

we'll forgive you for being a banker.

# Sucker, sucker

Sucker, sucker

Yeah!

- There we go, great!

- Get in here. Thank you.

Thank you.

Yes!

Yeah.

Whoo!

I can't believe

you're a closet bowler.

Well, when I went to college,

all my buddies bowled.

It was, uh...

It was fun.

But not as much fun as tonight.

Yeah.

- And then?

- Then I, uh, went to my hotel room,

ate all the Swedish Fish,

and fell asleep.

But then he showed up at your door and

said, "Kate, I can't live without you.

- Run away with me. "

- No.

- No, it was not like that.

- Really?

Did you tell Richard

that you went out with Jack?

No, because we didn't go out.

We went bowling.

And this is absurd.

Jack and I are just...

...friendly.

- No, you're right.

I know how straight, single guys

hate to hit on attractive

coworkers on business trips.

He's not creepy like that.

How does he sign his emails?

- What?

- Jack.

"Best"? "Yours"?

- "Thinking of you"?

- I don't know.

Is it "XO"?

It's "XO," isn't it?

Will you stop cross-examining me?

This isn't one of your depositions.

- Oh, my God, you're blushing.

- I am not.

Kate, promise me... promise me

that you won't do anything

disgusting or immoral...

...without telling me everything.

OK, it's microwave fresh.

Mm... Come on!

It's gonna get cold.

- OK, hold on.

- Hey, how was your trip?

- What?

- You went to Cleveland.

Oh! Uh, it was fine. Fine.

Anyway, um, good news is

the project is in good shape.

- Jack's happy.

- Jack's happy.

Jack likes the tech sector.

Jack's allergic to tree nuts.

You know, I Googled him.

Sit down.

He's a hideous-looking fellow.

My gosh.

Just... must be a nightmare

hanging out with that guy.

- Is he? I hadn't noticed.

- Oh, you hadn't noticed?

- Is he... is he not hideous?

- No...

So he's happy.

Which means that we can go to

your parents' for Thanksgiving.

And then we can get the Christmas tree

on Friday like we've been talking about.

And then I was thinking that maybe...

...we could get a sitter.

- Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, we can get a sitter,

and then maybe we go

to the movies, you know?

- Yeah. That'd be fun.

- Yeah.

It's gonna be a great,

perfect, fun trip.

OK, OK. I like it.

I woke up in the middle of the night and

I realized we should adjust the charts

so that dividends are grouped

by asset class.

Great. We can go

over this tomorrow.

No, you can just email

it to me. It's OK.

I'm out of the office

till Monday.

You are? But there is so much

that you said...

It's Thanksgiving.

It's fine. We are OK.

- Are you sure?

- Yes. Yes.

And I really wanna

spend time with my family.

- One more thing.

- Yeah?

I'm having the baby.

I'm sorry, what?

I'm only disclosing that

because, as my superior,

- I believe that you...

- Oh, my God, Momo!

Momo, forget about all that.

I'm uncomfortable now.

I'm just so happy for you.

I'm still uncomfortable.

There's no way anyone

can explain it to you

before you have a baby,

and once you do,

you'll wonder why no one

ever told you how it felt.

Please stop holding me.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Same to you.

Being pregnant

doesn't feel awesome.

It feels like a mistake.

But lots of people

have babies as mistakes.

Maybe... maybe my baby

will turn into Justin Bieber.

He started as a mistake.

Now he's a billionaire.

- Good night.

- Good night, Kate.

There you are.

Heard you're taking off what?

Five days? I love that carpe diem thing

you have going on.

But, just so you know,
