The Nanny Diaries Page #9

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.

News, what news?

What in the hell is going on here?

I'm having another baby.

...virtually impossible.

What exactly do you want?

And now my mother is here

so I can't go to Chicago.

One lousy week!

You know something?

You are an infuriating woman.

You really are!

That's what you get for

rejecting debutante season.

Who asked you, b*tch?

Can you look after

the kids for a minute?

I'm the only nanny here.

I just have to use the restroom.

Hmm.

Make it snappy, dear.

I'm on the last chapter.

Oh, thanks a million.

Oh.

You look gorgeous.

Listen, I need some nanny advice.

- Okay.

- To tell you the truth,

I don't know what's gotten

into her lately.

Well, I installed

a Nanny Cam.

So we'll soon see

the truth.

It might be time

to let her go.

I saw another one.

Make a wish, Grove.

I wish we could stay

in 'Tucket forever,

Mommy, Daddy, you

and my puppy.

Grove?

You know I...

I'm not gonna be

your nanny forever.

I can't be.

That doesn't mean I'm not

gonna always be your friend.

What, there's no OJ

in the goddamned sh*t-shack?

Oh, I was just

about to make some.

Mm-hm.

Where's Grayer?

Isn't he up yet?

Um, he had a little

trouble sleeping.

So...

Concentrate? You have

got to be kidding me.

All my money and I can't

get fresh-squeezed? Come on.

Uh, we used it all

at the party, so...

Hmm.

Well then, why don't you and I

take a little trip to the market

and get us some, huh?

I'm not in right now.

Leave it at the beep.

Be the new one,

burn to shine

I take the blue ones

every time

Walk me down

your broken line

All you have to do

is cry

Yes, all you

have to do is cry

All you have to do

is cry.

- Where's Grayer?

- With his grandmother.

And where, may I ask,

have you been?

Um...

- I just had to clear my head.

- Did you?

I imagine your

unacceptable behavior

has something to do

with that boy in the building.

Nanny.

I wasn't

born yesterday.

He called several

times this week.

He called?

Why didn't you tell me?

I suppose I forgot.

It's really for

your own good.

He's a little out of

your league, don't you think?

It couldn't possibly

end well.

Clearly this

isn't working out.

Mr. X has arranged for

a taxi to take you to the ferry

and then for a car to

pick you up on the other end.

Please don't...

please don't do this.

Not... not for me,

but for Grayer.

Not until you and your husband work

your problems out.

Don't you dare.

You stupid...

you stupid girl.

As if you know anything

about my life.

As if you know anything

about the real world.

All I got's $100.

All right, you know what?

Just give me the change

when you come back for my mother

at some point, okay?

Keep 10 bucks

for yourself, all right?

Nanny...

here's your final payment.

I expect you to

have all your things

out of our apartment by

the time we come back.

Just leave the keys

with the doorman.

Grayer, I think you

should take a nap.

I'm certainly ready

for one.
