It's a

wonderful offer,

but it's a crucial

time for Mary.

It's not because of

our relationship, is it?

No, not at all.

My asking you

is purely professional.

I never let my emotions

interfere...

with my professional

decisions.

Except, of course,

when I'm horny.

Look, I won't pretend

that I don't adore you,

or that I wouldn't

give anything...

- if you'd finally agree to marry me.

- I know,

but I have to consider

Mary's needs.

And what about

your needs?

I'll think about it.

There you go.

What's this button?

Don't touch that.

That's the delete button.

- How do I get it to move?

- Move the cursor down.

Try it.

- I did it.

- Good. That was easy.

- What about Mary's new shoes?

- Got 'em yesterday.

Mary has a dentist

appointment Friday morning.

I've got my

cooking class.

- Jack, can you cover it?

- Yeah.

Who's coming to the airport

to pick up my mother?

Your mom? Damn, I have

that kidney operation.

- What about you, Pete?

- Michael, I'll give you

$1,000 if you'll do it.

I would, but I've got

a meeting with my, um,

publisher!

I thought you had

a date with Laurie.

That's tomorrow.

- I like Laurie.

- So do I.

Been a while,

huh, Michael?

- How's it going?

- That's what we're going to talk about.

- Ooo, time to fish or cut bait, huh?

- That's really romantic.

You'd be surprised

how practical women are.

No matter

what they say,

a woman wants to be

swept off her feet.

- Like I swept you off your feet?

- Knocked me off my feet.

Women want security.

You know

what I want?

I want a man to make

a fool of himself over me.

I'd make a fool of myself

over you any day.

Michael, you're not breaking

up with Laurie, are you?

We have to shake

our relationship up.

Nothing shakes up

a relationship like... marriage!

Who said anything

about marriage?

- I don't know if I like

this attitude around Mary.

- How come you're not married?

- Oh...

- Oh...

- Oh...

I'd like to get

back to the penis.

We never did

cover that.

Come along, before

you're permanently warped.

- Thank you for coming.

I can always count on you.

- Sure.

- Darling!

- It's wonderful to see you.

- Welcome, Mrs. Bennington.

- Michael.

- Peter.

- Oh, yes.

Jack wanted to come,

but he was busy.

Spreading his seed,

no doubt.

- How is Mary?

- You won't believe

how much she's grown.

Michael?

What?

No furniture?

- Oh, thank you, Michael.

- Peter.

Look. It's

the biological one.

Mom.

Why when you say it,

does it sound frightening?

Great to see you.

You're looking... so close.

I hope you can stay

for a while.

- Mother's staying at The Plaza.

- I'm leaving the day after tomorrow.

Gee, so soon?
