Obsessed

Stop.

This is coming down.

What? Why?

No, I love the idea of the mirror

on the ceiling, but that's just ugly.

But the thing is,

you look beautiful in it.

Now, see, if we're gonna take it down,

we gotta at least try it out...

...christen the new house.

And what do you suggest we use

for a bed?

We don't need a bed, because we got

this fine carpet right here.

So I guess we'll have fine carpet

tattoos all over our asses.

Wait, baby,

don't you have to go to work?

I don't want any 30-second nookie.

I told them I'd be late. Now what?

- What about the movers?

- The movers?

- Yeah.

- They're gonna be here in an hour.

Which is just enough time.

Derek. You are so bad.

Like that isn't why you married me?

What about Kyle?

He'II be all right.

That boy will sleep through anything.

Gage Bendix?

Excuse me?

I couldn't help but notice

we were both going to 22.

Gage Bendix, yeah. I work there.

I thought that you might.

You have an appointment with us?

Why, do I look like a client?

Actually, you do.

Well, well, I hate to shatter the illusion,

but I'm a temp.

You're a temp?

Girl's gotta pay the rent.

I would've never guessed a temp.

Let me help you out.

There you go.

Thanks. I owe you one.

- Good morning.

- Morning.

Are you following me?

No, I'm taking these files

to Mr. Charles's office.

- Derek Charles?

- Yeah, I guess you probably know him.

Yeah, I know who he is

and he's an a**hole.

Takes himself way too seriously.

But don't tell him I said that, okay?

- I could get you in trouble?

- Oh, yeah. Big trouble.

My lips are sealed.

- Patrick.

- Good morning, Derek.

- Hey.

- How's the new house?

Chaos, man, chaos. I got out

just as the movers showed up.

Sharon must have loved that.

Yeah, if she calls mad,

you telI her I'm in a meeting.

Hey. Remember who used to sit

at this desk, huh?

She'll know I'm lying.

Can I help you?

That's Derek Charles?

Yes.

Better watch out, girl, he's married.

- The good ones are always married.

- Right. Or straight.

Did you talk to our German friend,

Herr Ganz?

Actually, I just got off the phone

with him.

- And?

- He doesn't like the way...

...the stock market's gyrating, thinks

the hedge-fund wave is about to crest.

- You think he's right?

- No, no. I don't think he's right.

He's wrong. You know Ganz.

He gets paranoid when

anything goes mainstream.

So he makes a lot of noise...

...but I managed to talk him

into a private-equity portfolio instead.

To the tune of 155 million.

I want you to throw Derek

your support on this.

I am just honored

to exist in Derek's world.

Whose legs are those?

- Never seen them before.

- I think she's a new temp.

I think you mean temptress.

Always nice to have a girl

around the office, isn't it?

Derek married the last eye candy

we had, took her off the market.

Yes, sir.

Miss us a little Sharon around here.

I don't think you do.

- Patrick, forward my calls.

- Will do.

- Okay. Good night, Marge.

- Bye, Derek.

D, you cutting out early? I grabbed us

a couple tickets to the Lakers tonight.

You're killing me. I'm moving.

- I gotta get home.

- So?

So do I look like a man

who wants to get a divorce?

Why don't I call her and say

we got a work emergency?

- No, thanks, I'll stay married.

- Coward.

Yeah.

Goodbye, Mr. Charles.

- You punked me.

- I'm sorry, but you set me up.

I'll get my revenge.

You might like to know...

- ... that everybody disagrees with you.

- About what?

About Derek Charles

being an a**hole.

They say he's the nicest guy

in the firm.

Yeah, well, I've got them fooled.

I'm Lisa, by the way.

Hey, Lisa By The Way.

Good luck at your next job.

Hold the door, please.

They're keeping me on

for a few more days...

...so I might see you on Monday.

Sharon!

Your turn.

No, I think it's your turn!

Don't even try it.

It's definitely your turn.

Looks like I'm stuck, huh?

Huh, Kyle?

Come here.

Oh, my God.

What is your mom feeding you?

What do you think about giving

that magic mirror another test drive?

Sharon, you're so bad.

Like that's not why you married me.

- Morning, Marge.

- Morning, Derek.

Hi.

Remember me?

Lisa By The Way, right?

Very good, I'm impressed.

Hey, Marge, where's Patrick?

Out with the flu.

I did some trading

with the other temps...

...and I wrangled your desk.

I hope that's okay.

No, that's fine. Why don't you

grab a pad and a pen, follow me?

Here's a memo

for the Christmas party this Friday.

- Is it that time already?

- Yeah.

Sit down.

So why don't they invite spouses?

What?

To the party. It says no spouses.

Yeah, it's Joe Gage's rule. Actually,

it's like that at a lot of companies.

I guess they figure you're not gonna

kick back and let loose...

...if your spouse is there.

The reason of having the party, right?

- So does this party get pretty wild?

- Oh, not usually.

Well, that's no fun.

I called Patrick. He said that

you like it black with two sugars.

If it's cold, I can go nuke it

in the kitchen.

No, actually, it's perfect. Thank you

very much. Let's get started.

- Ready when you are.

- It's Monday.

- First things first.

- Took care of that.

Took care of what?

On Mondays

you always send your wife flowers.

This week you sent her

a dozen long-stemmed red roses.

I called to confirm

they've been delivered.

Thank you.

So how long have you two

been married?

Three years in March.

And you still send her flowers

every week. Lucky girl.

Yeah, it's kind of a tradition.

Patrick said that you started back

when she was your assistant.

You and Patrick had quite

a conversation.

- Let's run some calls.

- Fire away.

Why don't we start

with Phil Trendle?

See if you can get a lunch

appointment next week...

...but push for The Water GrilI.

I like the fish.

- The Water GrilI's fantastic.

- Terry Mills.

- Am I going too fast?

- I'm just waiting on you.

Are you always this efficient?

Does that surprise you?

Yeah. Yeah, most of the temps

we get here, they're like-

I think you'll find

I'm not your typical temp.

We were at the grocery store,

I look over...

...and Kyle is flirting

with the checkout girl.

She's about 16, and he's 2.

He was giving her the same look

you give when you see a pretty girl.

I think you've been teaching my baby

how to flirt. Like father, like son.

So, anyway, on the way home,

I stopped by campus today...

...and I picked up a catalog

for next semester's curriculum.

Let me tell you, I cannot wait.

Do you need me?

I'm gonna show it to you tonight.

I need your opinion on my courses.

Are you listening to me?

Baby.

If I bundle Managerial Economics

and Operations Management...

...then I won't take Management

Information Systems...

...untiI next semester, right?

School?

- Derek.

- It's like an online degree?

Come on, baby, not tonight.

You know this is important to me.

Well, it's important to me too...

...but I was kind of hoping you liked

being a mom, staying home with Kyle.
