Picture Perfect Page #8

I'll tell you what

I'm saying!

I can no longer play sloppy seconds

to you and your job!

You are so in love

with Mercer Advertising!

It's all you do! It's all you

think about! It's all you talk about!

Son, I want you to lower

your voice and sit down.

Excuse me!

Do either of you know what it's like

to always be number two

in the eyes of

the woman you love?

I do.

Now I know

how Gulden's feels.

Katie, I can no longer compete

with this man and his company,

and I want out!

What! What!

No, no, Nick!

Nick, no. You

can't do this.

Young man, this is not

the time and not the place.

Excuse me!

I don't want to marry you, Kate!

Do you understand?

I don't want to marry you!

It's over! You hear me!

I don't want to marry you anymore.

Not today!

Not tomorrow!

Let me tell you

something.

You may be a hero,

but you're no gentleman.

Come on, Katie. Dinner's over.

Let's get out of here.

Okay.

You know, it's one thing to cheat

after a few years of marriage,

but while you're

still single?!

Shame on you!

Don't bother looking back.

He is out of your life.

Come on.

Hey, how's your leg?

Think I'll live.

Yeah?

Sorry. I got a little

carried away in there.

So I guess now, um...

Now your life's

perfect, huh?

Well, uh...

Yeah, actually.

That's great.

Really, that's great.

I never met anyone in my life that knew

what they wanted more than you do.

Is that a compliment?

Yes, it's a compliment.

Definitely a compliment.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

That Sam's

a lucky guy.

Make sure you tell

him I said so, okay?

Aren't you supposed

to be with your boyfriend?

How in God's name did

you get rid of him?

Oh, it was awful,

so awful.

We had this huge fight

in front of everybody.

But it's okay.

It's over. We ended it.

What?

Well, I hope you

didn't do this for me.

No.

Egomaniac,

I did it for me.

Now, why are you over there

and I'm over here?

I just think you should take a breath

and think this through.

I mean, what you had with Nick

was really special.

Really?

You think so, huh?

Hmm.

You know what, Sam?

You're just always going to be

that guy at the restaurant

who, when he gets

what he ordered,

always wishes he got

what the guy next to him did.

Oh, wait, wait.

Come on, what are you doing?

Please don't

leave mad.

No, I should just leave.

What are you

talking about?

Come here, let me make you

a nice cup of coffee.

You don't even know

how I take my coffee.

Well, you'll tell me,

and then I'll know.

No. Come on! No!

Will you just let me out of here?

Hold on,

this one sticks.

God, I'm so sorry.

Are you okay?

That was fast.

Sorry.

Jesus!

What happened, Kate?

Did he hit you?

No. Just like everything else

that sucks in my life,

I did it to myself.

Come here.

It's not a big deal.

What do you mean it's not a big deal?

You look like a raccoon.

I just need to get ice

on it, that's all.

Okay, I'll get you ice.

I'll get you ice.

Oh, I'm a big girl.

Sit down. Sit down.

Don't go anywhere.

Stay.

You have any steak?

No.

Well, I don't think this Lean Cuisine's

going to get it done.

Here.

By the way, your mother

called about 5 times.

I let the machine

get it.

Thank you.

They're peas.

Go ahead.

They' refrozen.

All right.

Ahh... no, no, no.

Okay? Aww.

Oh, God.

It's on the floor

under my shirt.

Hello? Hi, I'm fine.

I'm alive. Don't come over.

My floral dress, my snakeskin sandals,

and my beaded bag.

Yeah. Yeah. No.

They loved him, Mom.

It was

a great night. We...

I mean-but you know,

something happened actually. No.

And, um... Ma,

I gotta call you back.

Why did you do that?

I don't know what to do.

I don't know what to do.

Answer the phone.

No, I don't want to lie.

I don't want to lie to her.

Then don't.

Hi, Ma.

Yeah. No.

Uh, something happened.

I don't know

what happened.

No. I know, I know, Ma.

I do know what happened.

I just-I panicked.

Because I don't want you to be

disappointed in me.

Right.

I know that you think that I could never

disappoint you, but, Mom, let me tell you,

I could.

Oh, yeah, that's what you were

talking about, right?

Well, you know,

they mostly loved him.

Where is he?

Now?

Um...

Well, see, now, what do you mean

when you say "where is he? '

You mean, like,

physically now?

I'm

right here, Rita.

But, uh, you have to

promise not to be shocked

or think any less of

your daughter, okay?

Right now?

Um... Well, a pair of boxer shorts,

a T-shirt, and a smile.

Yeah?

Well, you know what, I am looking

at your picture right now, too.

Yeah.

Yeah, I, uh,

I like her a lot.

Well, in fact, uh...

I like her more

every minute I spend with her.

I'm gonna give you

back to Kate now, okay?

Well, I look forward

to meeting you, too, Rita.

Bye.

Listen, Mom,

I'm gonna hang up now, okay?

Oh, my God.

A diaphragm, a sponge,

and a rubber. Good-bye.

Thank you for that.

Macy Gray:
Games, changes, and fears

When will they go from here?

When will they stop

I believe that lie,

and I choke

I try to walk away,

and I stumble

And though I try to

hide it, it's clear

My world crumbles

when you are not there

Good-bye, and I choke

I try to walk away,

and I stumble

And though I try to hide it

It's clear

My world crumbles

when you are not near

You're kidding.

His mistress showed up

right there at the dinner?

Yeah. I heard Kate

had a complete breakdown.

And then Mrs. Mercer

either punched him

or punched

the girlfriend.

I heard the guy

punched Mr. Mercer.

I heard it turned into a giant brawl,

everybody punching everybody.

Shh.

Morning.

See that?

She looks like

Petey from Our Gang.

Hello.

You're still there.

No. I-nothing's wrong.

I just had this awful

feeling, uh,

that, um...

That you were gonna leave and I wasn't

gonna have a chance to say good-bye.

You know how you said,

um, last night about

coming down on the weekends-

Ahem.

Uh, you know what?

I got to call you back.

Are you gonna be around for a while?

Can I call you back?

Don't go far.

That must have been quite a show

you put on last night.

It's all anybody's

talking about.

I like

the Audrey Hepburn thing.

Nice touch.

Everyone will assume you're still

crying your eyes out.

Yeah.

Uh, Darce, I really got to

talk to you about something.

Well, Mr. Mercer and I, we have

something we'd like talk to you about.

What? What did I do?

Yeah, well, I'm pleased

you're pleased.

I know.

Absolutely.

Ahem.

Uh, hold on.

My troops are just arriving.

Yeah, I'll call you back.

Ladies.

Um, everybody okay?

Oh, well,

she's just... you know.

Good. Good.

We've just gotten the results from

Gulden's advertising test in Rochester,

and everyone is so pleased that they've

decided to launch nationally A. SA.P.

Oh, God!

Now, what this early go-ahead means

is that we've got a shot

at putting something together

for the Super Bowl.

Baby, the Super Bowl!

The Super Bowl, baby!

Oh, my God!

The Super Bowl.

Oh, wow.

Oh, there's the chest pain.
