- No, I said I'd

be home after work.

(PHONE CHIMES)

Hey baby, I was

just about to call.

- So why didn't you?

- Mom?

- I left a message

at your office.

What could be more important

than your mother's life at risk?

- Wait, Mom, hold on.

I'll call you right back.

- Marty, where the hell are you?

Move it!

We have to be at the

restaurant at seven.

I need a glass of wine now.

So pick up a bottle

and not a cheap one.

See you on time,

assuming you love me.

You understand?

Bye.

- [MARTY] Mom, are you okay?

- I'm fine.

Don't worry.

- Don't worry?

What the hell?

What happened?

- It was a typical young

man blowing off steam.

I said a few things I probably

shouldn't have, you know.

One woman had to

hold him back

- Held him back, holy sh*t, Mom.

What did I tell you about

mouthing off to the wrong people?

- I know.

Lately I just feel so unsettled.

- God, Mom.

Just don't act out.

- Well, I'm really

worried because I

I did another stupid

thing at work.

I let a woman make false

claims on her paperwork.

I screw up everything.

All I make is mistakes.

- Come on, Mom.

You made me.

- And I never see you.

You live in sunny California

and you never come here.

- Well, I'm planning on

coming to New York soon.

- You promise?

- I don't know.

You know, when I do,

we're gonna have some

We're gonna have a great time

and check out some of

those edgy galleries

off the beaten path

you like, you know?

And then you'll forget all about

these risky little

mistakes, okay?

- Okay.

- $55.95.

- F***.

- What, what, what, what?

Are you okay?

- Yeah.

Everything's great.

How long do you think

this is gonna take?

Because some big stuff

came up at work tonight

and I just gotta get

- Stop, stop, Marty.

This is important, okay?

I need you to be nice,

especially to Ray,

because all of his blogs are

about the major

retailer buyers, okay?

And he might do a write

up on my line, remember?

Good, okay, so

(LAUGHS) He thinks your

commercials are funny too,

so they're gonna be

encouraging, right?

Right?

- Absolutely.

- Promise?

- Yes.

- How perfect, honey.

(LAUGHS)

- Well, you know, I heard

you know who is wearing Gucci

to the Oscars.

- Oh gosh.

- How perfect.

(LAUGHS)

- I'd never wear Gucci.

I mean, who wears Gucci anyway?

- How can I convince you

to come down to my studio

and see my lingerie line?

- Oh, I'd really love to,

Miss Lydia, just love it.

(KISSES) But I'm

just so overbooked.

Don't you have a

website I can glance?

- Well, the website,

it's coming.

- You ain't got no website?

- No, but it's coming.

- On the way.

- Yeah, we're just

still in production.

We're trying to get

that off the ground.
