l'm... l can't

predict the future. Um,

the thing is, Dan,

you're not head

of ad sales anymore.

Carter Duryea is.

Who is Carter Duryea?

Some hotshot from GlobeCom.

This a bummer, Dan.

lt's a real bummer.

But you're lucky. A lot of people

are getting canned immediately

across the company.

Are you getting fired?

Me? No.

This is a joke.

This is a joke.

We have had our biggest

year ever this year.

My sales team

works incredibly hard.

l'm not gonna

put up with this.

Well, you have to

put up with it.

What are you gonna do,

start somewhere new?

You're not a kid anymore.

You know how tough it is

out there.

People are cutting back.

They're not looking for guys

like you who make a decent salary.

Hey, buddy, l am as pissed off

about this as you are.

So then why are you smiling?

l'm not smiling.

Yeah, your lips

are curling up.

They do that naturally, Dan.

Hold up! Hold up! Thank you.

Thanks.

47. Are you going

to Sports America offices?

Yeah.

You an intern or something?

Uh, no, my dad works there.

Oh.

Are you interning there?

No, l'm starting

a job there today.

That's cool.

Congratulations.

Oh, thank you.

l'm totally scared shitless.

l have no idea what l'm doing.

Don't tell anyone, okay?

Okay.

Please.

Thank you.

Dan, your daughter's here.

She is?

Hey, boss, what's this

gonna do to our stock options?

l have no idea.

Don't call me ''boss.''

Now, look. l insist.

Let me take that.

No, that's okay. l'll hold

onto it. Oh, no, really.

Dan, you hear anything?

Are we fired?

Mr. Colon is so excited

to work with--

Oh, God. l'm sorry.

Christ.

No, l'm sorry. You okay?

l'm fine.

lt was all my fault.

Uh, you okay?

Yeah, uh, no broken bones.

No harm, no foul.

Terrific.

Okay, terrific.

Hey, champ.

Hi, what are you

doing here?

Tennis.

Oh, sorry.

Yeah. Yeah.

Why?

ls today a bad day?

Ah, no.

No, no, it's-- it's fine.

lt's just... To hell with it.

Let's...

Let's go. Come on.

Okay.

You all right?

Man, you sort of

sucked today.

l was just holding back

to give you some confidence.

Yeah, right.

Yeah.

You're an old man.

Hey, Dad.

Yeah?

Remember when l said l might

want to transfer to NYU?

Yeah.

Well, l got in.

What, to NYU?

Yeah.

Sweetheart, that's fantastic.

Yeah.

l'm so proud of you.

Thank you.

You'd-- you'd have to

live here in the city, though.

Yeah. And, uh, l want to

study creative writing.

And NYU has

such a great program.

But what about SUNY

and the tennis team?

Dad, l'm not gonna be

a professional tennis player.

Well, look, sweetheart, being

a writer is just as tough.

You're living in the city and l don't--

l don't-- l don't like that idea.

This is a lonely place.

You got to have

street smarts.

l don't think

that's such a good idea.

Dad,

l want to try

living in the city.

And

l know that NYU

is more expensive,

but it would be such a

great experience for me.

Yeah. lt is more expensive.

Yeah.

But

it's your education.

Yeah.

That's the most

important thing, right?

Yeah.

We could manage it.

Dad!

What?

You're drenched.

Oh. Oh.

l think you're gonna be

very happy here.

You're really stepping

into an all-star team.

Oh, uh, this is

Morty Wexler.

Morty, Carter Duryea.

Duryea. You're on

the Ford account, right?

Correct.

Well, it's a pleasure

to meet you.

You, too. l'm really looking

forward to working with you.

Oh, terrific.

Thanks.

Okay.

''l really look forward

to working with you.''

Bite me.

Uh, we have a terrific office for you.

Great view. Um, lt's not

cleared out yet. But, uh...

Not bad, huh?

Uh, excuse me a second? l'm going

to use the little boys' room.

Oh, yeah. Sure.

Tasty.

May l help you?

Oh, l'm sorry.

This is your office.

Yeah.

You're the guy l bumped into.

Dan Foreman. Carter Duryea.

You're Carter Duryea?

Yes, and, uh,

it's a pleasure to meet you.

The Carter Duryea that's

come in to run ad sales?

That's correct.

How old are you?

l'm 26 years old.

Twenty-six

and you're my new boss.

Uh, l guess so.

That's, uh,

that's quite a...

That's quite a kung-fu grip

you got there, Dan.

Oh, well. So,

what kind of experience

do you have in ad sales?

Uh, well,

l'll be honest with you, Dan.

Not much.

How much?

Um...

None.

None.

That's not much.

But l'm a fast learner, Dan.

Hey, now that you know

how old l am,

how old are you?

l'm 51.

Fif... Wow!

Wow. That's crazy.

Yeah.

That's like a year older

than my dad, so that's weird.

Oh, well, this is...

This is great.

You two have met.

Are you kidding me?

We are old buddies by now.

Dan, it was a pleasure

to meet you.

Pleasure.

Um, Dan, you want

this door closed? Or...

Yeah, you can go, um,

go ahead and close it.

So it was

pretty unexpected.

But it's-- it's like

a pretty big promotion.

That's fantastic!

Way to go.

So, uh, the Boxster S

has more guts.

You'll sure feel

the extra horsepower.

But if you really wanna go,

l'd say

take the 911 Carrera.

l'm gonna go with the 911.

/ You're a rhyme

without reason /

/ And you know it so well /

/ Well, who's

the king of the season /

/ Well, you never can tell /

Go ahead.

/ Though it's so plain

to see /

Carter.

/ Surround sister /

/ 'Cause I'm not afraid

to fall /

Yeah.

/ No, I'm not afraid

to fall //

Jackass!

Hey.

Hi.

Uh, l hurt my arm.

But l-l'm okay.

l'm glad you're okay.

Carter.

Kimmy.

Kimmy, again?

Seven months?

We've been married...

Come on.

Okay, l know things have been

a little off.

l've been swamped at work.

l mean, God, l should have

taken you on a real honeymoon.

Well, l should have just shut

that cell phone off. lt was...

lt was ringing off the hook.

That's-- that's my bad.

You know, this whole thing

is my fault.

Okay, here's the good news.

l can change.

l'm gonna change.

This-- this has actually been a

very good lesson for me. Thank you.

Don't try to sell me, Carter.

l love you, Kim.

Kim, l want to

have kids with you.

But l don't want to have kids

with you.

l don't even know

if l want to have kids.

l told you that.

l told you that

on our second date.

Wow, l thought

you were kidding.

Carter, is this really

such a surprise to you?

Are you sleeping

with somebody else?

l was,

but l broke up with him.

Well, it must have been

really rough on him.

Well,

l'll be at my parents'.

They're really excited

to have me back.

We're gonna hear

two heartbeats now.

Mmm-hmm.

That strong, slower one

is yours, mom.

And that... that's your

baby's heartbeat.

Oh, my God!

Nice, strong heartbeat.

That's your new baby, Dan.

Dan?

Yeah?

Are you okay?

Uh, yeah.

That's fantastic.

Uh, l'm feeling a little,

uh...

You are having

a little bit of arrhythmia.

Have you been drinking

a lot of caffeine lately?

No.

You under

a lot of stress?

Well, l...

l did sort of

get demoted at work.

Ah.

You what?

Yeah.

l, uh... We'll talk.

Another?

Yeah, just keep them coming.

You don't even have to ask.

How was everyone's weekend?
