The Women Page #11

It's going to be great.

By the way,

your father stopped by earlier...

...and said to tell you

he didn't think you had this kind of talent.

- Fantastic.

- Don't be bitter. It leads to Botox.

Listen, I'm not sure about

the opening sequence of the show.

And I think you need to reconsider

where you place the coats.

Mom,

when you said you'd underwrite me...

...I didn't think it meant

that you'd be popping by...

...every five minutes

with helpful suggestions.

But you said you'd value my input.

That's what you say when you take a lot

of money from someone, Mom.

Nobody ever means it.

Now, go find a seat.

Just take a look at those coats again.

Skinny.

Don't bother Mary.

Okay.

Hey. Oh, honey, what are these?

They just came.

They're from Dad.

They're from Dad?

Hey, hey. Fingers crossed for me, okay?

Okay.

- Mom?

- Yeah.

This is really cool.

Excuse me.

Hi, Edie.

You look very rested, Catherine.

Thank you.

Oh, Mary, I am so proud of you.

Okay, Mom.

Everything was beautiful.

Okay, Mom.

I guess I'm just living a little vicariously.

Maybe even jealous.

A little competitive.

- Mom, more than I need to know.

- Okay.

I'll take Molly home.

Mary.

Mary.

All right, tell it to me straight.

What did you think?

It was transforming.

But it doesn't matter what I think.

This is the lady whose opinion counts.

Glenda Hill, meet Mary Haines.

This is the head buyer

from Saks Fifth Avenue.

Hello.

- Oh.

Wow, I didn't realize you were coming.

Well, I don't ordinarily crash fashion shows,

but Sylvie called me, insisted that I come.

Said I'd be missing something if I didn't,

and she was right.

Really? Really?

I don't know what to say.

It's a small collection,

but I find it fresh and forward.

I assume you'd be open to some changes

for the Saks customer.

Hemline here, maybe a jacket there.

Saks Fifth Avenue

is gonna order my clothes?

Well,

we'll start with the New York store...

...and if the clothes do well,

we'll expand to all 59 stores.

And of course,

we need everything shipped by spring.

Are you geared up for that?

I think she's a little shell-shocked.

- Would you mind if I think about it?

- Think about it?

Well, don't think too long.

What do you have to think?

- I have to think about it.

- What is there to think about?

Mary.

It was so amazing,

and we're so proud of you.

And I am so sorry that I won't be able

to stay longer to help you celebrate.

But my water just broke.

What?

- Are we in the right place?

- Are you all right?

- Hang in there.

- Here comes another contraction.

- Oh, my God.

- Oh, God.

The contractions

are only a couple of minutes apart.

Every baby comes faster

than the one before.

- My last one came in just two hours.

- It's okay.

Excuse me, our friend is having a baby.

We need a room now,

so we need you guys to hurry up.

- Does she have insurance?

- She doesn't need insurance.

Have four, get the fifth one free.

Get her a room.

Oh, I feel another one coming. Ah!

- Another one.

- They're a minute apart.

One minute? She's got a minute.

- She's got a minute.

Okay.

I'll take you right to the delivery room.

And who's the birth coach?

- I am.

- Oh, no, no, I want Alex to do it.

- What, me?

- I think it'll be a good experience for you.

Don't worry, I'll help you through it.

- Oh, oh.

- Oh, my God.

This is gonna be a big baby.

Don't point that thing at me, Edie.

It's loaded.

Come on, honey. Come on.

Let's go.

Glenda Hill? She is an arbiter of taste.

She's a big deal.

Why didn't you jump on that?

- I don't think I want such a big order.

- You don't wanna be a success?

Depends on how you define it.

I mean, I would be very happy

with just a little boutique business.

And I have a daughter

who really needs me.

Your daughter looked at you today

in a new way.

You gave her a mother who got something

for herself. That's important.

Remember when they said

we couldn't have it all?

We can have it all.

The question is, do we want it?

I don't want it all.

I just want a nice piece of it.

I don't want it all either,

because it's exhausting.

We can handle anything.

We'll be each other's wives.

Do you know how loveable you are,

Sylvie Fowler?

Do you have any idea

how loveable you are?

Funny you say that, because I met a guy.

- You met a guy?

- Yeah.

I'm thinking of giving him

my real phone number.

- How did it feel?

- Oh, I don't know.

- I think it was because...

- No, no, no.

No thinking. How did it feel?

I felt like... I felt like...

I couldn't talk. I had butterflies.

Like that time I found my dog

at the pound.

- Aw.

- We're very close. You better come inside.

I want my husband!

Where the hell is that schmuck?

He's coming, for crying out loud!

You are not doing the breathing right.

What is so complicated?

It's like this:

Somebody get here

before her head spins off.

I've got your back.

It's okay.

- Hey, is that Jungle Red?

- Okay.

Nice.

Focus on my voice.

Focus right on my voice.

Focus on my voice.

- Here comes another contraction.

Okay, now, Edie, use it.

Use it, Edie, just use it.

I am never having sex again.

Sew me up right now.

Okay, so you got through that one, honey,

you got through that one.

- How's she doing?

- We're a couple pushes away.

- This baby has a big head.

- Oh, can you see it?

Oh, God, it's the head.

Okay, okay, okay.

It's me, it's me.

Hello. Stephen?

A strong one is coming.

- Mary, Mary.

Oh, okay. Hold on, okay.

Edie, see that Christmas tree?

Just focus on that Christmas tree

and send all your pain right there.

That was a good one.

I'm not gonna make it. Oh, God.

Edie's having a baby.

Can I call you back?

No, don't hang up. Talk to him.

- Alex, I just...!

- Oh, my God.

He wants to go on a date.

- Good.

Good? I don't think

I can get past everything.

You can get past it, just like Alan did.

- What? Whoa, back up.

- Come on.

Oh, don't look so shocked.

Five years ago. It just happened.

When Alan found out,

it nearly killed him.

And that nearly killed me.

But he forgave me.

Not right away, but he did.

And you know why?

Because he's a good man.

He knew I loved him.

And I love him and he loves me.

And we love the kids.

And now I'm gonna stop

because I am so exhausted...

...and I want this kid out of me

right now.

Get it out!

Okay, Stephen, here it is, here it is.

I'm gonna own up to my part in all this.

How could I share myself with you

if I had no idea who I was?

I want things now that I've put aside,

and I'm gonna get them...

...and anybody who is a part of my life

is gonna have to want those things for me.

But this is gonna be hard.

This is hard work

because trust doesn't happen overnight.

And if you can accept all of that,

I will see you Tuesday at 8.

That's all I have available, I'm very busy.

- We're crowning.

- I gotta go.

Okay, ladies.

Get her shoulders, get her knees.

- Her shoulders and her knees.
