Two Weeks Notice Page #6

it's hard to remember who did what.

- Sounds like an amazing team.

- George, do you mind...?

I was saying how incredibly presumptuous

it was of me to come waltzing in here...

...but Miss Kelson was nice enough

to see me.

They're calling from

the Zoning Commission, Lucy.

June, why don't we set up

a proper interview for tomorrow.

It's all right. It's all right.

I could finish up with June.

You're not coming to the meeting?

- Have I ever come to the meeting?

- Good point.

- Alrighty.

- Alrighty.

Stupid plant. Do something

with this, will you?

Absolutely. The ficus is fired.

- Bye-bye.

- Bye.

- So tell me...

- Yes.

...first of all, you come from which...?

- Harvard.

I was just wondering, are we still on

for the Mets game tonight?

I love baseball.

So are we still good?

I'm a Red Sox fan, all the way.

A Red Sox fan? Interesting.

You obviously have a rich fantasy life

which is a fabulous plus in this company.

Okay, that means you're a Boston girl,

probably a little bit Irish, Catholic...

...big family, dirty, that kind of thing.

- Exactly.

Let's go, Mets! Let's go, Mets!

Let's go, Mets!

Strike him out!

So, what did you think of June?

Loved her. Loved her.

Great. Yeah, me too.

Yeah, she smiled obsequiously,

flattered me constantly.

She'd have no problem picking out

an ottoman. Exactly what I'm looking for.

A tad weak on the experience side, but...

We went out for a drink,

talked for an hour.

She's a very clever girl, you know. Sharp.

So you guys went out for a drink and...

She got nowhere to stay at the moment,

so I found her a room at the Grand.

And I invited her to the company outing.

Turns out she's a useful tennis player.

Well, I can swing a racket.

Yes, I know, at my head.

I've experienced it.

But listen, thanks to you

for finding her. Genius.

Oh, God! It's gonna hit us!

Get out of the way. Move!

- Mike, you all right?

- Yeah.

- Take it easy, the season just started.

- Thanks, George.

Next time, go to a Yankees game.

Hey, look, you're on TV.

I don't hear you.

I don't hear you.

Nice!

- Nice one.

- Thank you.

- Three-Iove.

- All right. Cool.

Nice.

Yeah!

Mine, mine, mine! Okay!

Come on!

Lucy! Oh, my God, Lucy, are you okay?

Do I have a concussion?

Ask me something.

- Name all the Supreme Court Justices.

- Thomas, Ginsburg, Scalia, Stevens...

...Kennedy, Rehnquist, Souter, Breyer,

O'Connor. Is that right?

How should I know?

Want some?

Thanks, I really shouldn't.

Okay.

You think she's a natural redhead?

You know, I was gonna give June a lift,

and then Howard offered.

The fact that he liked her is

a big strike against her.

Although I will say she's

an excellent tennis player. Very nice form.

- Fantastically nice form.

- Oh, man.

Incredibly lithe.

What? I thought you liked her too.

No, I jus... I think I just ate too much.

Really? What did you have?

Just a chili dog and some fries

and a soda...

...and a bag of some little girl's

cookies...

...and another chili dog

stuck in there somewhere.

Okay.

Let's try and take your mind off it.

Okay.

Heard from Ansel lately?

I'm sorry.

I've been thinking about this.

You should move on. Forget him.

Plenty of other pebbles on the beach.

The world must be full of men who'd die...

...to be with a compulsive

eater who can't fall in love.

What? I've fallen in love.

- Yeah?

- Yes!

With whom, might I ask?

And no pets.

Billy Westhouse.

Billy who?

Westhouse. I knew him in high school.

Did you tell Billy that you loved him?

Did you say, "Billy, I love you"?

Goodness!

It's not funny.

Sorry.

That last chili dog is really barking.

It's not perfect timing, I must say.

We'll be in the city in 20 minutes.

I don't have 20 seconds!

I feel like I swallowed a cruise missile.

What...? What am I? 5 years old?

- It's only a Volvo.

- Well, people just don't go in Volvos!

- I'll buy you another Volvo.

- No!

That'll be the only thing you'll ever

remember about me.

I'll be the woman who went

on the front seat!

That would be hard to forget.

Okay, I have an idea. See that RV?

- Yes.

- That is our target.

Can you make it?

Therein lies your salvation.

- No.

- Yes, it's an excellent idea.

- It's unclean! I can hold it!

- It's a brain wave. Out of the car!

I can hold it! George, I can hold it!

I'm holding it! I'm fine, I can hold it!

No! No, no, George, I don't want...

I'm not going. I'm holding!

Hi there!

- You all right?

- Yes.

- Okay?

- Yeah, I'm good.

- You all right?

- I'm good.

- What?

- My ankle. My ankle.

No! No, no! Oh, God! No!

Hi, there!

Oh, God!

Excuse me. Sorry to bother you.

I'm not insane, but my friend needs to use

a bathroom. It's an emergency.

- I'll give you $100.

- A thousand!

Okay.

Thank you. Very sweet of you.

Thank you.

Clean, clean, clean.

Where are you guys from?

Well, Kentucky originally,

but now this is pretty much home.

Come here, babies.

Hurry!

What kind of mileage do you get

out of this thing? It's an RV, right?

A recreational vehicle?

Traffic's moving.

Hold it! Hold it! Hold it! Hold it one sec!

Honey, how are you doing?

Are you nearly ready?

Kill me!

Look at that poor jerk.

Yes, poor jerk.

Whoa, Nelly.

George, where's the car?

I'm sure it's been safely towed by now.

Oh, God! George, George, George!

Don't worry, don't worry! In many ways,

it was the perfect end to the day.

Except for those poor children

in the trailer.

They actually looked quite frightened.

Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.

Once it's published in the company

newsletter, there'd be absolutely no point.

All right, I'll call for a lift.

Would you like to have

your nails done?

A Hollywood tan, perhaps?

God, it is such a beautiful city.

And my favorite building of all time.

Look at that.

Nirosta steel, sunburst tower,

gleaming gargoyles...

...all designed by a man called

William Van Alen...

...obsessed with beating

his former partner...

...who was building the

Bank of Manhattan tower at 927 feet.

So Van Alen announced

the Chrysler Building at 925 feet...

...and then surreptitiously assembled

the 180-foot mast inside the tower...

...and only revealed it after

the bank tower had been completed...

...giving Van Alen the tallest building

for three months...

...until of course...

- Until the Empire State Building.

All right, please give me the name

of Van Alen's former partner.

Who is H. Craig Severance?

- I find you annoying.

- Yes, I'm sure you do.

But it is pretty amazing what dreams

and lots of money can do, isn't it?

Yes, it is.

- And you know you're part of that, George.

- Yes, I am.

All you have to do is use your power

for good instead of evil.

If only I would.

Listen...

...I'm very sorry that these last couple

of months have been unbearable for you.

Not at all.

Unbearable would have been bearable.

Then I suppose it's a good thing

that your two weeks are almost up.

This is it.

I'll do the Children's League benefit.
