I Don't Know How She Does It Page #9

things I hear and see during the day.

I know, given our... your

circumstances, this is crazy,

but I had to tell you, because...

...if there's any part of you

that feels the same...

I told you my story,

keep it simple.

However, you make

complicated look appealing.

And I, for the first time

in a long time, feel ready to...

I... Jack, I am so happy

you feel that way.

And now you're gonna find someone

who will mean as much to you

as Richard does to me.

I have made a terrible

mess of things,

and I hope I still have

a place with him,

because that's where I belong.

And it's...

It's snowing.

Yeah.

Oh, my God!

I have to go!

I'm sorry, I... I'll call you later.

There's something...

There's something

that I have to do.

Thank you.

Thank you, thank you!

I need to talk to him now.

He's in a meeting,

dear, and I don't...

...gentlemen, I...

Hey, how are you?

Hey, Mitch, Jon.

Yeah. Um, Clark?

Uh, I just wanted to let you know that

I'm gonna go to Atlanta on Monday.

- So... take care, then.

- No.

No, you're going this weekend.

Client's expecting you.

Can we talk

about this in private?

We can talk about it on Monday,

when you come back from

your Atlanta trip this weekend.

- OK. So, my view on...

- Yeah.

See, the problem is that...

...I'm...

...unavailable.

Because?

Because...

...I have

to make a snowman.

Reasons it's OK if I don't work

at Edwin Morgan Forster anymore:

Number one:

Because I have two lives,

and I don't have time

to enjoy either one of them.

- Merry Christmas!

- It's snowing.

Mommy's coming home early, right?

No, honey. She's...

- She's gotta work. We'll see her later.

- No, she is.

Taxi! Taxi!

Number two:

Because trying to be a man

is a waste of a woman.

She's coming.

She said the next time it snows,

we'll make a snowman together.

She'll be there.

She promised. Twice.

Number three:

Because my kids will be grown up

in a flash, and I will have missed it.

Honey, Mommy loves you very much.

But she's gotta work, OK?

Really? You sure?

You wanna go play?

Come on, Ben.

Number four:

Because somehow, some way,

someday, things have to change.

Richard, I...

I know things

have to be different.

I know if I didn't have this job,

things would be better in so many ways.

But... me without that job isn't me.

And me without you and Ben and Emily

is... it's nothing.

So... I went in to see Clark today.

Look, I've given everything

I have to this job.

And I love it. I do.

But I can't dump my family

at a moment's notice anymore.

I won't do it. If what I have

to give is not enough for you...

...then fire me.

But I won't quit.

I will not...

I cannot give up.

Then get out.

You can go on Monday.

Now... leave,

before I reconsider.

- Really?

- Leave.

Thank you! Thank you!

Bunce.

Wipe that smirk off your face.

You land a major fund

with Jack Abelhammer,

we'll talk about

relaxing your schedule, too.

So from now on, if somebody's

gonna be disappointed,

it's gonna be Clark or Jack or Bunce.

And if that's not OK with my bosses,

then I will get a new job.

You know, there will always

be another deal to be made.

But there will only

be one first haircut.

- OK.

- Also, from now on...

- Yeah.

... I will carry that store-bought pie

and I will wave it around bravely.

Uh... that's right!

I bought that freaking pie!

Yep!

- What's wrong with her?

- Richard, Richard, look.

I know I drive you crazy.

But I love you...

...an amazing amount.

And I am so sorry about everything.

- Are you done?

- Yes.

'Cause I have something to say, too.

Something to... read, actually.

A list?

Uh... yeah.

"Change the carpet on the stairs. "

I did that. Oh, I got a leotard

for Emily's ballet recital.

Ben's speech therapy

starts Thursday.

It's all set.

I got an Ab Roller.

I'll never use it. But maybe just

looking at it will tone me up.

"Me and Kate. "

Yeah.

That's number one.

Oh, Richard.

It'll still be a mess, you know.

I mean, that's the only thing

I'm sure of. It will still be a mess.

Yeah, it will.

It'll be our mess. Right?

- Where are they?

- I don't know. Let's go find them.

Where are they? Oh!

Hey! Hi!

Let's make a snowman!

In these circumstances,

an ending that wrapped

things up neatly

might be out of the question.

Kate got her own fund.

And we're all very happy for her.

I think, of everyone, I'm the

least very happy for her.

But I'm still very happy for her.

- Oh, Momo, he is so beautiful.

- Yeah.

It's all so...

...hard to compute.

The second they gave him to me,

it was just like...

...just like...

Why didn't

you tell me any of this?

It's rude not to share.

It's not funny.

You know, we expand

into global funds,

we could get our percentages up

two or three percent.

God, you would sound so much

more compelling saying that

if you didn't have mustard

on the side of your face.

Ah...

- Here? Thank you.

- Uh-huh.

Are you 100 percent sure you don't

wanna run off to Aruba with me?

- Yeah, 200 percent.

- Oh...

But my friend Allison loves Aruba.

She's smart, she's beautiful,

she's available.

You would love her.

Hey, how's it going getting that

meeting with Victor Chau?

He'll be in New York on Saturday.

He said he can meet in the morning.

Oh, I can't, I've got another

appointment on Saturday.

One, two, three!

# L is for the way you look at me

- Mommy?

- Yeah?

- Can I have that?

- Steps back, eyes the ball...

Boom! I got back

from Berlin on Tuesday.

Kate had to go straight

to San Francisco.

I'm actually going

to New York next week.

Man, that sounds like

a hectic schedule.

It is.

Listen, um,

I can't remember,

what does...

what does Kate do again?

Something complicated

with money, right?

Oh, no, no. It's, uh,

pretty simple, actually.

She's, uh...

She's a juggler.

# Please don't break it

Love

# Was made for me and you

You've got an e-card.

Oh!

Greetings

from Jack and Allison in Aruba.

Dear Kate, she's a great girl.

Thank you.

Thank you, thank you,

thank you.

Maybe he's Irish,

maybe he's Scottish,

but whatever is going on

underneath that kilt,

let me just say they don't call

him Abelhammer for nothing.
