Not in so many words.

I'm sorry. How rude of me. You're on

the phone. So I'm just gonna take off.

- Say i! with your eyes.

- Nice- Nice to meet you.

- Lovely house.

- That's it?

- Sorry. See you.

- Okay.

Hillary, you're gonna have

to step up your game.

- That was the most boring conversation

I've ever heard. - I think he heard you.

Hillary, you need to make an executive

decision to get back on the horse.

And by horse, I mean your neighbor.

I'm sorry, but am I speaking to Jan?

When was the last time you had a date?

You know what? I'm busy. I've got to go.

My meeting's about to start.

But, um, I-l really love

this interaction of ours.

Let's have drinks later. Good-bye.

[ Door Opens ]

Just the person I wanna see.

Um, hold up.

What's wrong with you, boy?

Oh, we hangin' out after school now?

Let me tell you somethin'.

If you get kicked out of that school...

I'm gonna take you to the Mississippi

and drop you off in the desert.

I thought the desert was in Nevada.

Oh, so now you smarter than me?

- Well-

- Don't get cute.

Now I've got to take

all this time off of work...

to plan some dance and a fund-raiser.

They want you to come to my school?

You cannot come to my school!

- Mm-hmm.

- Mama, can you not come to my school?

Well, that's what you get

for gettin' into trouble.

Please don't come to my school! Please.

Let me tell you somethin'. You are not

gettin' kicked out of that school.

- 'Cause you're not gonna turn out like your-

- Like who?

MY daddy? My brothers?

Hakim, baby, you are

gonna be somebody. Okay?

Go do your homework.

I did it already on the bus.

Well, let me see it.

Is it- Is it right?

And you don't know?

Oh, yeah, yeah. it's right. it's all right.

You so smart. You so smart.

Get out my face.

You want somebody to play with. Bye. Bye.

Go to your room. Get out my face.

[Whispering ]

What the hell was that?

Well, Jan,

you've been here a long time.

- Seventeen years.

- Yes, and you have been stellar.

But partnership will require a lot more time,

a lot of long hours.

Well, I'm no stranger to that.

But I know you have a daughter.

Yes, I do.

I'm determined that women can have it all.

Right. Of course they can.

But I have no wife or kids.

As a matter of fact, I'm exactly where Jan

was when she came on 17-

Seventeen years ago?

Wow! I was, like, in the fifth grade.

You're really gettin' up there.

How tall are you?

- Oh. Funny. I have a big heart.

- Mm.

And who knew that I would have been

taught everything...

by such a wise, old sage?

- Well, I didn't teach you everything.

- Right.

Because I wouldn't do that.

No, I wouldn't.

- 'Cause you don't deserve it.

- Ooh!

I'll handle it.

ls there a problem, Jan?

No. Uh, it's just one of my accounts.

Oh. Well, go.

Earn your commission. We'll wait.

Kramer and I will keep dialoguing

until you come back.

Dialoguing.

- Means talking.

- Yes.

[ Sighs ]

What's going on?

Some of our male students' parents...

want your daughter out of the class.

And I agree.

She was caught in the bathroom

making out with one of the boys.

Well, why does she have to leave?

Why can't one of the boys leave?

She was the aggressor.

She's 12 years old.

The boy was my son. Good-bye.

He wasn't that good of a kisser anyway.

First cigarettes, and now this?

I didn't want to go

to that piano class anyway.

What did I tell you about cold sores?

Kissing gives you cold sores.

What am I gonna do with you?

I have an idea. Do what you always do.

Book me into something else

to keep me away from you.

Book me into oblivion.

I don't need your sass.

Jan, we're going to have to leave.

But we weren't finished.

No, you're dealing

with something that's important.

We'll, uh, call you tomorrow.

- Are you sure?

- Yes. We'll talk later.

Cute kid.

- [ May] Who is it?

- It's TK.

- Who?

- [Chuckles] TK.

- On!

- Hi.

- My purse!

- Your purse.

Oh, my gosh! Where did you find this?

You left it on top of the car

when you drove off...

really rude,

didn't say good-bye or thank you.

I am so sorry.

I've been having the worst day ever.

Thank you so much for this.

I had to go through it to find out where you live.

I hope you don't mind.

Uh, no, I don't-

I hope you don't mind

I read a little bit of your story too.

It's actually pretty good.

Okay, thank you.

That's a little bit weird, but thank you.

I think one good deed deserves another.

You should take me to dinner.

I'm sorry.

It doesn't really work that way in my life.

- I'll take you to dinner.

- Thank you, but I got- I- Bye.

N' [ Mariachi ]

Oh, wow.

See, you could still do that.

[Veronica ]

The pause is good for that thing.

Hey. Who's that cake for?

My daughter.

Why did you pick this place?

I rented it. Thought it'd be a good place

for a birthday dinner.

- Hi, baby.

- [Veronica ] Hi.

Mmm!

[ Kisses ] You look so beautiful.

- I baked you a cake.

- Thanks, Mom.

- Look at that.

- Strawberries, how you like it.

Yeah. I love it.

Um, did you guys talk about smoking?

Yes, yes, we did.

And it's no big deal.

They were just messing around.

It is a big deal.

I went to the school. She could get expelled.

Then I guess her father's gonna have

to show her how to run his dealership.

- Santos, she can't be smoking.

- Oh, stop it.

Is she- Are you wearing makeup?

- Dad said I could.

- Come on. Relax. it's her birthday.

She's too young to be wearing makeup.

Honey, do me a favor. Why don't you go

hang out with your friends, okay?

- Glad to.

- Yeah.

- You are awful.

- Awful?

- Yeah. You are.

- How's that?

I bake a cake and you rent this place?

Yeah, so?

You undermine everything

that I do and say in front of her.

How do I undermine you when I support you,

in more ways than one?

That is my child too.

I will not tolerate this.

You need to be a little more grateful.

There are a lot of men out there

that won't do what I do. You hear that?

You might want to take it easy

with the lady here.

You might want to stay out

of our conversation.

Get her a drink. She needs one.

[Veronica ]

Come on, guys. Let's have a nice time.

[Santos]

All right. Let's do this pifiata.

What are we waiting for?

Come here, honey. You do it first.

Come on. Watch out, kids.

She's got a big swing. Come here.

Baby, I'm so sorry.

I didn't know he was coming here.

It's all right.

It's all right. You okay?

I'm sorry. Yeah. Yeah, I'm so sorry.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

- Are you sure?

- Mm-hmm.

Baby, stop. Not here.

- Shh.

- Not here.

Shh.

Stop.

Stop.

- Stop.

- I stopped already.

I stopped already. What are you-

[ Chuckles ]

Oh, my God.

You know, I think we should go out there

and tell them we're going out.

- No, no, no, no, no, no. It's not the

right time. - I wanna meet your daughter.

Baby, it's not the right time, okay?

What do you mean, lt's not the right time?

What are you talk-

We've been together for a year.

I know, but it's-

How long are you planning to hide me?
