to pick up the dry cleaning

when she gets Charlie

Never a dull moment

No. Charlie is so adorable

Thank you

I can't eat

I'll have a coffee

Well, I guess I'll have coffee, too

Excuse me again.

Ladies room

- God, she looks good

- Mm-hmm

Do you think she's had work?

Why would she have work?

She still looks gorgeous

That's when they're having it now

Early, before it all goes to sh*t

I have friends out there

You take me to the best places

Wait

Let me...

She's not like that.

She's really nice

Of course she is.

That makes it worse

She is nice, and she's sweet...

and her ass is in exactly

the same place it was

when she was in college

Are you taking tennis?

Oh, I wouldn't call

what I do taking tennis

- Ok

- There you are

I was beginning to worry

No, it's fine. I'm fine

We thought you were

abducted by that heartthrob

What heartthrob?

You didn't see him at the counter?

He was gorgeous

I miss everything

Your button's undone

Oh, thank you

That's him

I guess I could see the appeal

Well, if he looked at me twice,

I would be on my back in a second

Oh, you would not

Oh, I would so. Why not?

Well, a couple of reasons.

Adam for one, your kids for another

Well, you know, Tracy, they

wouldn't have to know about it

It could be just something

that I did for myself

You know, to... broaden my horizons

It'd be like taking a pottery class

Having an affair is nothing

like taking a pottery class

- Could be

- No. It would start out like that

And then, um, something would happen

Someone, uh, finds out,

or someone falls in love...

and it ends disastrously

They always end disastrously

Tracy!

No

When?

It was a long time ago

And it's the one thing in my

life I would undo if I could

Did you just f*** me

across the street?

Mm-hmm, I did

You know, we could end this

now, and no one would get hurt

Yeah?

I think if we ended

this now... I'd get hurt

So, no matter what,

someone get's hurt?

Maybe not

Maybe we'll get tired of each other

God, I hope I get tired of you

You're in my mind

You're the only thing in my

mind when I wake up every morning

You're in my brain

before I even open my eyes

What do you think of?

It depends

If it's a day when I don't know

if I'm going to get to see you

I'm anxious... thinking of excuses

to come into the city and see you

And the days you know we meet?

On those days...

I'm...

calm...

and... hating myself

Oh, God

This is what we have over here

And... I'll have it ready

for you this afternoon

That happens all the time...

Ed, what's up? It sounded important

I've heard you're talking

with Dunbar and Brinks...

a few other companies

Oh, yeah? Where'd you hear that?

Well, look, I mean, I

suppose they could be...

uh, wooing me,

if that's what you mean

Apparently a lot of people

are wooing you these days

Now, who's wooing who?

Whoa. Whoa. Wait.

What are you talking about?

So I talked

to some people. So what?

This is about loyalty, Bill

I'm letting you go

You'll have my

recommendation, if you need it

I have a family, Ed

You had a family here

Wait. Wait a minute. You're

telling me... about family?

Well, you don't know the

first goddamn thing about it!

Why don't you take a look at

your own f***ing family, Ed?

Take a goddamn look at that

- Hi, Ed

- Frank

Thanks for coming

on such short notice

This is personal.

It's not business...

So you think about it

I don't know if you're gonna

want to get involved with this..

but I need someone I can trust

I want you to follow somebody

I...

I want you

to follow my wife

It's burning, Mom

What?

It's burning.

The chicken

Oh, sh*t!

Sh*t

It's boiling, Mom

It's boiling!

Thank you

Watch it. Watch it.

Watch it. Watch it

Chicken's a little dry. I'm sorry

It's fine

I have to go to Chicago tomorrow

For how long?

Not long. Probably

just a night

What time's your flight?

A. M.

Diane Dryer's son is

marrying Amy Lynne's daughter

I'm never getting married

Why not?

I hate giris

Well, you might change your mind

That happens sometimes

I won't

What?

I fired Bill Stone today

So that's what's

bothering you

Nothing's bothering me

Why did you fire him?

He's not accountable

What's accountable?

Is it, like, people who eat people?

No, no... that's a cannibal

Anyway, I can't

trust him anymore

So if you run into

Dolly, you'll know

Well, how are you gonna clean up the

area so pedestrians can get through?

What?!

I can't believe you!

What are you doing?

Sh*t!

Charlie...!

Sh*t!

Come on!

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry

I', sorry

Honey, are you ok?

You must have been so worried, huh?

- Stop, Mom

- What?

- People can we see

- Ok

Hi, this is Paul Martel

Leave a message after

the beep. Thanks

Mom?

Honey...

You're supposed to be in bed

You're crying, Mom

Oh, honey...

mommy's just a little sad,

that's all

Come on, I'll take you to bed

Let's get you into bed

Don't be sad, Mom

Dad will be home tomorrow

His name is Paul Martel

He lives at 433 Mercer Street,

apartment 3

She sees him during the day

Usually goes around lunchtime

Stays about 2 hours,maybe 3

They go to the movies?

They did that day. Otherwise,

they're in his apartment

Pick up!

Hey. Hey, lady!

Forgot your keys

Wait!

Who is she?! Who is she?!

No!

Calm down!

Why are you doing this?

How many are there?

God, what am I?

The Monday one. What,

did I get my day wrong?

She's just a friend, ok?

Just a friend

You're a f***in' liar

Me? I'm the liar?

I can't do this anymore

Fine. Go back to

your suburban carpool

Your tennis dress on your...

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

F*** you!

That'll make you happy

F*** you!

No

No, I can't

Paul, it's over

I can't!

I hate you. I hate you

I know

Stop it. I can't

You gonna f*** me?

- Huh?

- You want it?

Yeah, I want you to

Say it

- I want you to f*** me

- Say it

I want you to f*** me

Oh, thank you

Thank you very much

Thank you very much, indeed

Yes?

You're Paul Martel?

Yes

How old are you?

Who are you?

Edward Sumner

Connie's husband

May I...

may I come in?

Yeah. Sure

Would you like a drink?

Yeah. Why not?

I have scotch,

vodka... prune juice

Uh... vodka

Is it cold?

Yeah

I keep it in the freezer

So do I. At home

So tell me, how did you...

...meet my wife?

By accident

On the street

There was a wind storm,

she hooked her knee...

Oh... you're him

She told you about that?

Yes

How's it going?

Fine

Fine. I mean, ok

This is... this is where you meet?

Yes

She likes it?

Well, I guess.

She never complained

Do you stay in all the time,

or do you go out, too?

It depends. Sometimes,

yes, we go out

She likes that?

She...

...likes this neighborhood?

Oh, yeah

More exciting than

the suburbs, I guess

Do you know that we have

been married 11 years?

We have a son

Yeah, she told me

More?

Yes, please

He's the reason

that we left the city

Connie thought it

would be better for him

Oh. She told me it was your idea
