Making of 'The Nanny Diaries': Bravo Special Page #8

---

for a romantic

anniversary.

All I need now

is my husband.

I just called

the airport.

There wasn't a single

delay or cancelation out of Chicago

so...

Where can

that man be?

Nanny,

call La Grande Nuit

- and tell them we're running late.

- Come on.

I don't want to

lose the reservation.

Is it "Le Grande Nuit"

or "La Grande..."

"Le... Les"?

I think it's "La."

Thanks, smarty-pants.

- Hello?

Uh yeah, it's me.

Listen, I'm losing

cell service here.

I need you to find

my wife and explain to her

that my flight

was canceled.

Uh, and since I'm gonna have to be back

here Sunday night,

I'm just gonna spend

the whole weekend in Chicago.

- No no no...

- Make sure to tell her I'm sorry.

No no no, Mr. X, you can't do this.

Look, she...

Nanny, who was it?

What did he say?

Um...

he said that...

his flight was canceled.

And...

and he's very

very sorry.

Make sure you

put that one on top.

I don't want

anything to wrinkle.

Mommy,

where are you going?

Mommy, don't go!

No, Gray... no, Grayer.

Don't... don't be difficult.

Mommy has to go away for

a few days to get some rest.

Nanny, I've decided to

take a few days off.

I'll be at the spa

at Canyon Ranch in Lenox.

- Maria has all my numbers.

- Oh God.

Nanny, can we go upstairs?

I feel funny.

Oh my God!

How did this come on so fast? 104?

Oh my God, oh my God.

Okay okay.

Honey, come here.

You okay?

I'm so sorry.

That's okay, that's okay.

All right.

Okay, wait.

No.

Hey, Lynette, it's Annie.

Listen, I need your help.

Grayer has

a temperature of 104

and I have vomit all over me

and there's nobody here.

God. Did you

call his mother?

Yes, I called his mother.

She's at some friggin' spa.

I left three messages

and she won't call me back.

I don't know what to do.

I mean, should I take him to

the emergency room or something?

- Annie, I can't answer that.

- I...

Do you know a number of a doctor

I could call for advice,

or a nurse even?

Of course I know a nurse.

Your mother.

Nanny?

Lynette, I have to

call you back.

What is it, sweetheart?

What's wrong?

I want my mommy.

Me too.

How is everything?

His fever's down.

But I think he's

got the croup.

The steam should help

open his passages

and hopefully it'll ease up his cough

and he can get some rest.

Is... is there anything

I can do?

Just close the door.

He's okay now.

Much better.

Oh, thank you, God.

Even so, you should bring him

to the doctor in the morning.

He's probably gonna

need a prescription.

Okay.

Hey, Ma, um...

l... I don't know

how to...

thank you for

coming here, and helping...

Why'd you lie

to me, Annie?

I have never lied to you.

Ever.

I know.

I just...

Oh, Mom, I couldn't

handle it anymore.

- I just couldn't handle it.

- What?

What couldn't you handle?

You're young, you're smart,

you're energetic. You got this

incredibly bright future ahead of you.

It was too bright, Ma.

All right?

I just... I just, I got...

I had to get away.

And do this?

You understand?

Every night shift I worked,

every overtime hour

I accepted,

I did it because I wanted

something better for you than I had.

Nanny!

Good, you're up.

Just leave that there.

So listen, the spa

was just awful,

totally overrun

with suburban riffraff.

And then in the middle

of my body scrub,

Mr. X called

and believe it or not,

he wants to take us

all to Nantucket next week.

So I figured I might as well

cut my trip short and...

Who's this?

I'm Judy.

It's my mom.

You never mentioned

you had a mother, Nanny.

Um...

my mom's a nurse.

She came over here to help me.

Grayer's been very

very very sick.

- I tried calling you...

- Where is he?

Well he's...

he's sleeping now.

Then he can't be

that sick now, can he?

So listen, could you

quickly unpack my luggage

and just put everything

in the laundry?

I'm exhausted and Mr. X is expected

sometime before 9:00.

I will see you

in the morning.

Oh, very nice

to meet you, Julie.

Judy.

Call me when this phase

of your life is over.

I desperately wanted

to yell out after her,

but it was like one of

those awful dreams

where I had no voice.

My desire to be an observer of life...

...was actually keeping me

from living one.

Clearly, the woman's

heinous.

You gotta quit.

It's just that simple.

I can't, all right?

I tried.

What if I made you

a tempting offer?

I'm gonna go to my father's house in

Southampton for a month.

I've got to take some time, figure out

if law school is really right for me.

Why don't you join me?

Do a little soul-searching.

We'd get the whole house to ourselves...

won't cost us a cent.

We'll walk on the beach.

We'll drink red wine,

grill fresh fish.

That sounds like heaven.

But what if this vacation

can save their marriage?

If I quit now,

I'll ruin it

and break Grayer's heart.

What about my heart?

Do I count for anything?

Come on, say yes.

Be young with me

in the Hamptons.

Don't go to Nantucket

with the weirdoes.

What do you say?

Not a chance in hell,

is there?

- I can take a hint.

- Come on, I didn't say no.

You weren't exactly screaming

yes though, were you?

I'm starting to wonder

if you're really selfless

or just a little

self-obsessed.

Thank you.

Thanks.

I have to go.

Listen, if you change

your mind, my offer stands.

We're going to 'Tucket.

We're going to 'Tucket.

Guess what else?

I'm getting a puppy.

Oh!

Oh my God!

Daddy, Daddy,

where's my puppy?

Been waiting for you right up

in the car there, sport.

- Isn't it wonderful?

- Mmm.

A family trip has been

long overdue.

Mmm, listen, I didn't

want to say anything in front of Grayer,

but the truth is,

I can only stay for a few days.

They're really pushing me to

finish up in Chicago.

You can't be serious.

You're not gonna leave us

on this island alone.

Okay, we'll talk

about it later.

# But I'm moving on #

# I'm gonna be your

number one #

# I'm not the kind

of girl #

# Who gives up

just like that #

- # Oh no-o-o-o... #

Hi.

It's Annie.

I haven't heard from you in a while.

You're probably

in Southampton,

but I just wanted to

let you know that...

my cell phone

doesn't work here.

So if you wanted

to call...

if you wanted

to call,

- you probably have the number...

Nanny, hurry up!

...already on your cell phone,

but I will give it to you

just in case.

It is 508...

Hello?

- Oh.

- What, hello?

- Hello, Nanny?

- Wha...

- I need to use this phone.

- Immediately.

- Okay, so sorry.

- Oh God.

- Nanny, we're going to the beach.

When I grow up,

I want enough money

to build a real castle.

Just remember, Grove,

that money can't buy love.

But Mommy pays you money

and I love you.

Surprise surprise, dear.

- Mother?

- My, you've gotten portly.

Hi, Grandma.

What the hell

are you doing here?

Ask your wife.

She's the one who requested I come.

- Darling, l...

- Not that I need an invitation.

It is my house.

I just wanted your mother

to be here for the news.
