In Good Company Page #4

Okay, l got to go.

Listen, uh, you're gonna have

to riff some more people, man.

Okay. Riff them?

Reduction in forces.

Shitcan them.

Right. Um, but l think we're

gonna get ad pages up here.

So l don't think

we need to riff anybody yet.

Well, sooner or later everybody

has to deal with reality.

Thanks for coming in.

You, great job today.

Louie, great job. You want to,

uh, grab a drink or something?

You know, l'd love to, but l'm

a recovering alcoholic.

Well, better not, then.

How about you, Morty.

Drink?

Uh, l'd better

get home for dinner.

My wife is slowly poisoning me to death

and she gets very angry

if l'm late.

Okay. Alicia?

Uh, you know what, l got

to go home and do my hair.

Oh, shut up.

How about you, Dan? You want to,

uh, grab a drink or something?

lt's Sunday.

l have to go home and

have dinner with my family.

You want to have dinner

with my family?

Oh, yeah! Are you... Let me,

uh, let me just grab my stuff.

Wait.

Who taught you

how to drive?

No one.

No kidding.

l'm home.

Yes.

Oh, this is what

l'm talking about.

This is like

a real home-type home.

Hey, sweetheart. This is

Carter Duryea from the office.

Hello, it's nice to meet you.

Hey, Mrs. Foreman.

What a pleasure

to meet you.

Thank you so much for

having me into your home.

You're very welcome.

l hope you like baked ziti.

Baked ziti! Uh, this is...

This is so perfect.

That baked ziti. That's

so... This is what l need.

Like a-- Like a real,

home-cooked thing.

This is great.

ls there something wrong

with him?

Clearly.

Let's just feed him and get

him the hell outta here, okay?

He's really young.

He's a lot younger than you.

Yeah. Thank you for that.

Thank you.

So, um,

l did the numbers on NYU.

Do you know how expensive

that place is?

Hmm.

Plus living expenses.

Plus Jana's orthodonture.

Plus baby costs.

Don't worry about it.

Well, that's not actually a solution

to a problem. ''Don't worry about it.''

l think we may have to

take out a second mortgage.

Why don't l just go into the living

room and ask my boss for a raise?

Oh, hey.

l was, uh, just looking

at you and...

And you've...

We never got to...

That day in the elevator.

My name's Carter Duryea.

Yeah, l know who you are.

Does my dad

know you're here?

Uh, your dad invited

me over for dinner.

Technically.

Uh, who's that?

Uh, it's Dad's new boss.

You can't be Dad's new boss.

You're too young.

Yeah, and he's also

scared shitless.

Wow, good memory.

And you're too cute

to be Dad's boss.

Oh, well, thank you.

l got it!

So, uh, how's it going?

Okay.

So what are you

doing here, really?

Uh, my wife left me, and today's

the anniversary of our first date.

l found the idea of going

home to be so depressing

that l kind of leeched

onto your dad

and invited myself over

for dinner.

Wow, you're sort of a

bizarrely honest guy. Huh?

No.

No. Honestly, l'm...

l'm not.

Just around you,

for some reason.

People would probably say

that l'm an emotionally guarded

anal-retentive a**hole.

You wanna play foosball?

Okay.

Cool, l'll just change.

Okay.

Good. Yeah.

Do you think Alex could cope with

living in the city on her own?

Well, l'm less worried about her

coping with it than l am about you.

Yeah, well, frankly, l'd rather

keep her under house arrest

with a homing device

around her ankle.

Then why did you agree to it

without even talking to me?

And why is your

teenage boss here?

And why am l so nauseous?

l hardly had any morning

sickness the first two times.

Hey, hey, hey!

and l'm so sick of it!

Calm down.

Let me have that.

l'm not really

that into tennis anymore.

What l'm really not into

is being the jock.

You know, it's like people don't

even invite me to their parties

because they think

l'm in training or something.

Also, there's this rumor going

around that l'm a lesbian.

Man, that sucks.

Or not. l don't...

Not being a lesbian.

Yeah, well, l'm not.

lt'd be one thing if l wanted to

go pro and make a ton of money,

but l'm not at that level.

l've played girls

at that level and l'm not.

l mean, not that

l'd want that, really.

Their lives have peaked

by the time they're like 21.

Oh, nice.

l wonder that

about myself sometimes, too.

Like maybe my life

has peaked at 26.

Maybe it's all

downhill from here.

Well, it probably is.

Yeah.

Here you go.

Keep the change.

Dinner's ready!

l'm on an important call!

With who?

My boyfriend.

Your what?

Hi, this is Mr. Foreman. Who

is this and how old are you?

All right.

Well, l just wanted to say

if you ever give my daughter an

alcoholic beverage or a joint,

l will hunt you down

and neuter you.

Dad!

Dinner's ready!

There you are.

You kids ready

to come in for dinner?

God.

l lived in the same town

as my mom.

And l mean...

You know what l mean?

The entire...

The whole family thing was--

Right.

Yes, l'm...

No, no, it's really not

a good time right now.

l know, but l

really like him a lot.

Oh, my God, this pizza's

amazing. Where'd you get this?

lt's from a wonderful little

ltalian restaurant called Domino's.

So, are you really

Dad's new boss?

We're not, uh,

we're really more colleagues.

No, that's not true. He's

the boss man. l'm the wingman.

Are you married?

You're wearing a wedding ring.

Um, yes, l am, sort of.

Um, or...

Yes, no. l'm married.

So you're like

prematurely old.

Jana, would you

pass the pizza?

l got it. Oh, my God, Dan. My bad.

l'm sorry. l mean, l got it. l got it.

Carter, Carter, C-Carter.

Only my wife

is allowed to touch me there.

Excuse me.

l'm gonna go upstairs.

l'm gonna change

my pants again.

Good job.

Thank you.

Thank you so much. Terrific

pepperoni, by the way.

You're very welcome.

Goodbye. Go home.

Okay.

Good night.

Thanks again.

And it's official.

You're divorced.

Okay, two things.

sales team captain.

You are my new power forward.

to the Knicks game

on Wednesday night?
