Wanted to know

if you would like

to spend tonight with him

and his beautiful wife

and their two perfect kids

in Connecticut.

And...oh, finally,

your shrink called.

She's got to cancel

your session today

because her husband

surprised her

with a fabulous trip

to Paris for Christmas.

That's...all?

It rang

a couple more times,

but I was scared for you,

so I stopped answering it.

[chuckling]

What's so funny?

Oh, it just struck me

as being funny

that a, you know,

a woman

who's never had a child

is editing a children's book

when maybe

it would be more appropriate

for me to work on

Cooking For One

or, you know,

How to Survive

the Holidays Alone.

Don't look at me

that way.

I'm fine.

Do you want

my advice?

No.

You've been looking

after your mother for...

nearly ten years now,

right?

Yeah.

Before that,

you were looking after

your father

and also your husband,

who walked out on you

the day your mother

came to live with you,

and let's not forget--

What is the point?

It's time that you stop

taking care

of everybody else

and start thinking

about yourself.

As my nana used to say,

what you need is--

I know; I know.

Someone to take care

of me for a change.

Wrong, what you need

is sex.

Good sex.

Your nana

said that?

Yes, she did.

And by the way,

Marco has been

looking for you again.

Hm?

He is so tenacious.

That guy is sexy.

He's too young

for me.

Every woman

in the building wants him.

Not me.

I just want

some coffee.

Coffee it is.

Please, Rose,

sleep with him for me.

No.

You can tell me

all the details.

I'll love it.

No.

Coffee.

Just get coffee.

[sighing]

Geez.

Okay, okay.

[upbeat Latin music]

Nina, no.

No, I got to go.

I can't be late.

^^ ^^

Listen, Dennis is waiting

for me, all right?

I got to go.

^^ ^^

I can't be late.

^^ ^^

(men)

^^ Ay, ay, ay,

Micaela se bot. ^^

^^ Bailando mi boogaloo,

Micaela se pas. ^^

^^ Ay, ay, ay,

Micaela se bot. ^^

^^ Micaela se pas. ^^

^^ Ay, ay, ay,

^^ Micaela cuando baila-- ^^

^^ Si, seor. ^^

^^ El boogaloo la arrebata. ^^

^^ Toda la gente la llama-- ^^

^^ Si, seor. ^^

^^ La reina del boogaloo. ^^

^^ Ay, ay, ay,

Micaela se bot. ^^

^^ Que se bot. Que se bot.

Que se bot. ^^

^^ Ay, ay, ay,

Micaela se bot. ^^

^^ Y cuando yo bailo con ella,

atrs me dej. ^^

^^ Ay, ay, ay,

Micaela se bot. ^^

^^ Cuando yo bail

con ella, ^^

^^ Micaela se bot. ^^

^^ Cuando yo bail

con ella, ^^

^^ Micaela se bot. ^^

^^ Pues, yo s

que ella es candela. ^^

(man)

I was beginning

to worry.

Absent from work
