Obsessed Page #2

You know I love being a mom.

We got all this room. I make

enough money for you and I to-

It's not about the money.

We had an agreement.

You said that you'd work hard, I'd have

the baby, you'd get your promotion.

Then I'd get my degree.

- I said that?

- Yes, you did.

You have something to talk about

when you get home.

I need some things to talk about.

- So Kyle's gonna be an only child?

- Let's get him a puppy.

A female that looks

like your side of the family...

- ... and tell him it's his sister.

- Can we call her Little Sharon?

Hey, Little Sharon. Come here.

You know exactly

who I'm talking about.

You know what, I wanna see you

say that in front of her face.

D? Why didn't you

calI me back today?

- What time did you calI?

- Around 4.

- You should leave a message.

- I did leave a message.

Oh, Patrick was sick,

and, you know, the temp-

We had a temp and she said...

...Shannon called

but didn't leave a number.

She? I thought we had an agreement,

no female assistants.

Baby, I don't control

temp availability.

Is she pretty?

Pretty plain.

Actually, you know what,

she did a better job than Patrick.

Except for messing up

your message.

- I want her fired immediately.

- Immediately.

- I'm serious.

- I promise.

Good night, Shannon.

Hope we're not interrupting

anything.

No, no, it's a treat to have you here.

I'm taking Kyle to The Grove today

to see Santa.

You wanna come?

Get your picture taken on Santa's lap?

No, I would, but I'm swamped.

You need me back in the office,

don't you?

Excuse me.

Here's your coffee, freshly nuked.

Hey, Lisa.

This is my wife, Sharon. Sharon,

this is Lisa. She's temping for Patrick.

It is such a pleasure

to meet you, Mrs. Charles.

- Hi.

- Hi. And this must be Kyle.

I can already telI

he's gonna be a heartbreaker.

Hi, Kyle. I'm Lisa.

Say hi, Kyle.

Oh, he can say hello. He's usually

not this shy around strangers.

What a handsome boy.

He looks just like you.

You think so?

Most people think he looks

like the beautiful Sharon.

Talk about the perfect family.

The three of you should be

on the cover of a magazine.

It's a good thing you won't be here

too long.

I know my husband

can be very demanding.

Actually, I'm learning a lot

from your husband.

I bet you are.

Joe Gage needs to see you

when you have a moment.

Great.

It's nice to meet you, Sharon.

You too, Liz.

- It's Lisa.

- Excuse me?

It's Lisa. You said Liz.

Sorry. Lisa.

- Sharon.

- Wasn't me. Blame Shannon.

- What's the deal with her?

- What do you mean?

"Looks just like you, Derek. "

But he is kind of handsome like me.

You said she was plain.

That girl may be a lot,

but she ain't plain.

I wouldn't know.

I only have eyes for you.

And you really think

that's gonna work?

Come on.

Take you around the office.

You can see the gang.

I know that you must miss it.

- When is Patrick coming back?

- Tomorrow.

You better hope so.

Crudo.

Wow, look at the tree.

Christmas already.

- Hey, Stan.

- Good morning, Mr. Charles.

- I'm back.

- Patrick.

- Feeling better?

- Yeah, thanks.

You know it's gonna take a lot more

than some stomach bug...

...to keep me away

from that Christmas party.

Yeah.

Not sure we can say the same

for Marge.

You get around, don't you?

Poor girl called in sick

with the stomach bug.

She caught it from Patrick.

That's what she gets

for using my lip gloss.

All right, girls.

Behave yourselves out here.

So how many times did you get busted

listening in on Derek's calls?

As if you don't.

I'm way too smooth

to ever get caught.

- I bet you are.

- How long have you been here?

- Ten years in April.

- I bet you know more...

...about what happens

behind these doors than anybody.

Sweetie, you have no idea.

My nickname around here is 411.

a cocktail after work sometime.

You can catch me up with girl talk.

If you think you can pump me for

information with a couple of Cosmos...

...you're right.

I'm sorry, I thought everyone

was at lunch.

- I should go.

- No.

You stay. Okay?

I'm gonna just grab my lunch and...

...head on back to my office.

Okay?

- You okay? You wanna talk about it?

- It's nothing.

Nothing?

You know, most people I know

don't cry over nothing.

You think I'm crying?

This is just allergies.

Oh, allergies, okay.

What are you allergic to?

Men, apparently.

Can I sit down?

Yeah.

You having boyfriend troubles

right now?

I'm beginning to think

there's something wrong with me.

There's nothing wrong with you.

I wish I could believe that.

Maybe you haven't met

the right guy yet.

I'm beginning to think

all the good ones are taken.

I'm no expert, but, you know,

if it didn't work out...

...then maybe it wasn't meant to be.

Maybe.

And then, you know,

you're gonna meet the right guy...

...you'II know immediately.

Is that how it was

with you and Sharon?

Yeah. Yeah, it does happen.

- Great. Now I'm jealous.

- Why?

She has everything.

Perfect husband, perfect child,

perfect marriage.

No. No, nothing's perfect.

You know, there are problems

in every relationship.

The most important thing

is to move forward.

You gotta keep moving forward,

you know?

Hey, Lisa, look, don't beat yourself up

over this guy.

Look at you, you're a bright,

attractive woman.

Any man would be lucky

to have you.

Yeah, right.

No. Honestly, if I were single...

You're just trying

to make me feel better.

Is it working?

Yes.

Good.

You hang in there, okay?

It's gonna be just fine.

Thanks, Derek.

Mister- Mr. Charles.

I'm sorry, excuse me.

- Excuse me.

- That's all right.

What was that all about?

Oh, man, her boyfriend dumped her

and I was being nice.

I'll take up that slack.

That is one smoking hot piece of ass.

- Stop it, Ben.

- Come on. Like you haven't noticed.

No, dude,

I'm not in the game anymore.

I'm retired and coaching, as are you.

I'm still in the game. I'm just

on the bench, waiting to play again.

Careful, D.

It's not like the old days...

...where you could get away with

office nookie and not get nailed for it.

Careful, D?

You went and married yours,

that's all.

If you're thinking of that girl-

- You saw her first.

- You are a fool.

Sadly, I don't think I'm her type.

Now, you, on the other hand...

All I'm saying

is that these single gals...

...see the workplace

as their hunting ground.

And I think this one has got you

in her cross hairs.

Sharon. Hey.

I just put him to sleep, baby.

Red? Blue?

- Red? Blue?

- The red one.

- What you doing tonight?

- The usual. Formula, oatmeal.

How do I look?

- You look all right.

- I look all right.

Remember the last time you went

to that party and got drunk.

Kyle.

Eat something.

I wilI. I'm gonna grab a burger

at Jake's.

- Okay. I love you.

- Okay. I love you too.

Fourth quarter, Derek Charles

puts it up, three seconds to go.

- I love you, baby.

- Bye. Eat something, baby.

- This seat taken?

- Yeah.

No, I'm kidding.

Be my guest.

- Look at you.
