Oh, God, it even has a barn.

Do you wanna make love?

Do you?

Oh. OK, I guess you do, huh?

(JC clears throat)

Mmm.

Mm, that was incredible.

(phone)

Hello.

One moment, please.

- JC, it's for you.

- I'm in a meeting. Take a message.

- JC, it's the telephone. Come on.

- What?

- It sounds like overseas.

- Oh. Ohh...

Hello?

Mm-hm.

Yes.

Cousin Andrew? (chuckles)

No, I don't have a cousin Andrew.

Oh, wai... No, wait, wait, wait.

My mother's cousin's daughter's son?

Yeah, you're right. I do.

Really? (gasps) Oh?

Well... Hello? Are you there?

This is a very bad connection.

What happened?

Oh, wow, that's awful.

I'm sorry, I really... I'm terribly sorry!

I still can't hear you!

What about his will?

No, no, no, I heard that part.

I just didn't hear the part... Hello?

- What's going on?

- I didn't hear the part... My goodness.

A cousin of mine died with his wife

in some accident.

I met him once when I was little.

He lived in England.

But anyway, he left me something

cos I'm his only living relative.

- This could be big. Was he rich?

- Of course he was rich. My family?

Hello? Yes! Yes, I'm here.

Uh-huh. JFK tomorrow.

Mrs Atwood.

All right. What time?

Yeah, no, but... Wait! Wait, excuse me...

...but I still didn't hear what it was

you said he left me. Hello?

Yes, hello...?

Can you believe this?

(snores)

(sighs)

Flight 701 now arriving

from London at Gate 29.

- Miss Wiatt?

- Oh, yes. Mrs Atwood?

British Department of Health

and Social Security. Let's go over here.

Sure. Sure.

- I'm sorry about Andrew.

- Tragic. I didn't know them personally.

Oh, no, neither did I, but it was very awful.

I mean, you know, what happened, so...

I have a lunch meeting in 40 minutes so

if I could sign for whatever it is I inherited.

Certainly. I just need you

to sign one thing. There.

So... what is it? A million dollars?

I beg your pardon?

- What is it? What is it that I inherited?

- Why, Elizabeth, of course.

- What Elizabeth of course? I mean...

- Your cousin Andrew's Elizabeth.

Are you jo... are you joking?!

Didn't Mrs Simpson tell you?

What?!

What? Wait a minute now.

I... Are you telling me I inherited a baby

from a cousin I haven't seen since 1954?

No! No way, uh-uh. This isn't possible.

Sorry. I assumed you understood

the nature of my trip.

Well, that's the funny thing. I can't have

a baby as I have a 12.30 lunch meeting.

I'm sorry, I have to reboard. I'm

on my way to visit relatives in Florida.

Now, Elizabeth, this is your Aunt JC,

the one I was telling you about.

You're going to live with her now. She'll

take care of you and love you very much.

- Mrs Atwood...

- Here are her things in there...
