The Nanny Diaries Page #4

Anyway, where were we?

Ah yes.

After Gagosian,

I met Mr. X.

You know, my grandmother

worked as a domestic

so we wouldn't have to.

And here you are,

fresh out of college

voluntarily taking

a nanny gig.

I told you, this is not

a lifelong commitment.

Okay? It's just a way

for me to get my head together.

Besides,

the money is great.

I finally get to

move to the city.

I'm moving to the city

to go to grad school,

not to be somebody's

servant.

Plus you know you're wrong,

or you wouldn't be lying to your mother.

This is all just

happening too fast.

I don't understand why you can't

just live at the house for a while,

just to get on your feet.

Mom, I lived at home through

four years of college.

Don't you think

that's long enough?

Well, how could you find

a decent apartment so fast?

The bank has, you know,

an excellent program.

They got me hooked up with

a trainee, which is great.

I'm getting in

the car.

Can I come with you?

I would feel a lot better if I could

at least see where you were living.

Come on. The other

trainees, you know,

they went to fancy

boarding schools

and European exchange

programs.

I show up with my mom,

I'll just look like a big dork.

Guess that makes sense.

Come here.

I love you.

Let me know the minute

I can visit you.

I'll call you when

I get there, okay?

Freedom, freedom...

Hey, you're gonna

get me a ticket.

Freedom

You got to give

what you take...

- You're crazy.

- Freedom

- Freedom...

- Sing it again.

Freedom

You got to give what you take.

I love that song.

I'm telling you, like the bees,

you're free, girl.

That's okay, I'll

take care of it, miss.

Oh, thank you.

I can't believe this.

I could get used to this.

- I'm telling you that.

- Thank God I'm getting a shrink degree.

You know, I love you,

but you're harsh.

A little bit.

Just give me a hug.

Mwah! I'll see

you soon, I'm sure.

Annie?

You know the path

of least resistance?

It can lead through

a minefield.

Oh, hi.

You are the new nanny?

Yes, and you must

be Maria.

- Nice to meet you.

- Hmm.

Can I come in?

Okay.

Leave it there.

The floor is clean.

Mmm.

Wow.

This place is

incredible.

I hope you last longer

than the last one.

Who, Bertie?

Oh yeah.

Mrs. X told me that she

left to get married.

Married? She had one date

and she get fired.

Oh, Maria? Are you gonna tell

Mrs. X that I've arrived?

Mrs. X is shopping.

But she left you

a note on the table.

Now I have to go run

the vacuum, okay?
