I Don't Know How She Does It Page #7
I'll be in town.
Wife cooks dinner
for about 20 people.
Makes three turkeys.
So if you need me
to cover for you,
I'll be right here.
Three turkeys? Wow.
That's... that's amazing.
You know, why not give Abelhammer
my cell in case he needs anything.
Happy Thanksgiving.
This is what you need
to know about Bunce.
He's one of those guys
who loves to come in at the end
and take the credit after someone else
has done all the hard work.
If I slip up even a little,
he is so ready to pounce.
I make a great turkey, too,
by the way.
It's delicious.
Everyone says my breast
is very juicy.
- Ah!
- Oh, my God.
You like the mule
in Treasure of the Sierra Madre.
OK, I got the changing pad
and the portable high chair,
the porta-crib, bibs,
Thomas the Tank Engine
cereal bowls.
There's no reason to pack.
Everyone knows that you buy
two of everything,
you keep one set at the country house.
Boom. Done.
I swear to God, Louis XIV
traveled lighter than we do.
You ready to have fun?
Well, I like the spirit.
Just don't tell your mother about my new
project or that I'm on deadline, OK?
What do you wanna do?
You wanna lie to her?
Hm... let's see. Yes.
Oh, OK. All right.
- Here. Ah!
- That's not gonna wanna stay.
- One, two, three...
- Whoo!
Don't worry about that.
- That's ours, right?
- Oh, no.
Who knows the lyrics?
- You do, Daddy.
- Come on. I love this part.
# Bears heavy on my mind
Take it, Kate.
OK.
# Then I look at you
Emily, come on!
# And the world's
all right with me
That's right.
Take it, Kate.
# Just one look at you
What are we gonna do?
# And I know it's gonna be
- Here we go!
- One, two...
- # A lovely day
- Oh!
Look at this.
We're on a trip.
We're all in one place.
Right?
You're right.
You're right, this is great.
- It's nice.
- Really.
- You're buzzing.
- Oh.
- Sorry.
- No, it's all right.
I'm gonna silence this thing.
And it's... quiet.
- And I'm not gonna work.
- Sounds good. OK.
I'm...
I am not working.
See?
- Don't need it.
- Are you sure?
- Yes!
- It's OK.
If you need to take the call,
it's fine.
- I don't need it.
- OK.
Oh!
That's a mistake!
Big mistake! Who wants some?
- Come over here!
- Ah!
- Get him, get him!
- Ah!
- Those look great.
- Thank you.
Thanks for doing this.
Those smell delicious, Kate.
- So a bunch of snowmen are standing...
- Oh, no!
A bunch of snowmen are standing
in front of the barbershop,
- and one of them says...
- Who smells carrots.
- Uh... Oh, come on!
- Same one as last year.
- Thank you.
- You ruined my joke!
- You ruined my joke!
... 30 years ago...
That's my joke!
- I don't get it.
- Because of their nose.
- 'Cause their nose is a carrot.
- You know the pond is frozen.
So if anybody wants
to go skating tomorrow...
Well, I promised Em that we were gonna
build a snowman tomorrow, right?
- Yeah.
- We can do it at the pond.
Oh, that was great,
Mom. What did you do this year?
I ran out of canned
pumpkin, so I had to...
You used cream?
Yeah.
I used light cream,
- but heavy cream's better.
- You OK?
- Yeah, she's here.
- Yeah.
Kate, it's for you.
It's someone named Nono.
Oh, no, Momo.
I'm gonna take it in the other room.
Momo,
what does that mean?
- Are you OK?
- What is the matter with you?
- I left you 100 messages.
- OK.
- Jack is trying to reach you.
- OK, I'll check my phone.
Remember Barry Brentwood?
- He was arrested.
- Mm.
- What?
- He's going to prison.
- Really?
- Barry Brentwood?
- Barry Brentwood.
- What did he do?
Oh, my God.
He got into something
with a drug dealer, and they
hired him to kill somebody...
Oh, no.
Who did he kill?
I don't know!
I don't know. Somebody...
Hi, Jack, sorry I missed your
calls. My cell reception is...
Um, anyway, what's up?
Sorry, Kate.
Harcourt's schedule changed.
- He can only hear the pitch tomorrow.
- Oh, sh*t.
Well, um, when did that happen?
If you can't make it,
maybe Bunce can take over.
So Harcourt has to go to Hong Kong
the day after tomorrow for a week.
There's some emergency
with the Asian brokerage house.
Which means that tomorrow
morning is our only shot
to get this thing in front of him.
But Jack said Bunce would do it.
- Let him go.
- Come on, Richard.
I can't let Bunce take this. You know
how hard I've been working on it.
But I can't control
It's not my fault. I have... I have
planned everything so this exact thing
would not happen.
But we were supposed
to make a snowman.
Sweetie, I know. Listen.
The very next time there's snow,
we're gonna make a snowman.
I promise. OK?
You already promised.
Hey. Bye-bye, bunny.
- Bye-bye, Mama.
- Oh, my God!
You spoke!
Ben!
You said, "Bye-bye, Mama. "
- He spoke!
- "Bye-bye, Mama. "
Well, it'll come in handy.
- Richard, I'm...
- You gotta go, Kate.
And we'll talk about it
when you get back, OK?
Bye.
Oh, we all heard
about Thanksgiving.
Leaving right after dinner?
Seriously? Who does that?
No, I prefer
to be with my family.
You know, clean up while my husband
and his friends watch football
and I chase after the kids because
they've had eight slices of pecan pie.
Then I make 11 sandwiches of leftovers
for everybody for the next day.
Listen to my mother-in-law yammer on
for the 15th time
that my stuffing was too dry.
Like I've never
heard that one before.
I just...
It's family, and I love it.
I love it.
I'm feeling
much better, thanks.
- Let's focus on the proposal.
- OK.
I was thinking we could
start with an overview
of dividend payers
versus non-payers.
Whoa! Careful!
Or you could... throw up
again a few more times.
- Momo, you OK?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
This does not
feel like a miracle.
Oh! Don't worry, morning sickness
only lasts about, um,
nine months.
Ooh, oh, yeah.
I've been there.
- You OK?
- Don't I look OK? Let's walk.
Oh, Momo! Momo, Momo! Momo!
Oh, my God!
It's official.
I'm disgusting.
How did this happen?
Don't answer that.
I didn't get any
sleep last night.
I think this baby's
on a treadmill.
Thank you.
- Hey. Hey, good morning.
- Good morning.
Thank you for your lovely note
and the room is beautiful.
You know what? You knocked yourself out
getting this thing right.
You deserve a nice room
and if this thing has any chance at all
with Harcourt, it's gonna be because
- of the way you pitch it.
- He's ready for you.
Let's go.
Remember, we're a great team, Bill.
Good morning.
We're here today
to talk about possibility.
The possibility of a
new financial product
that could restore some of the faith
we've lost with our customer.
We wanna show them that we understand,
that we wanna make money
for them as well as for us.
So I would like to start off
with a few charts
showing you the dividend
base strategy we've devised.
Momo!
- Which will show you...
- The PowerPoint presentation
was going really well.
No one could tell Momo and I
