I Don't Know How She Does It Page #2
It's like the economy was waiting for me
to start my own business and then tank.
- Richard.
- No, Kate, I am bankrolling this firm
with change from our sock drawer.
Well, that's gonna change.
It has to, because you're too talented
- for it not to.
- I hope so.
The pay isn't much,
but in the long run,
- it'll be great for both of us.
- You're gonna get it.
- Am I gonna get it?
- You are gonna get it.
I'm gonna get it! OK.
- I gotta go.
- No, no, wait, wait!
Can you just wait one second
- while I take a really quick shower?
- Where the hell is Paula?
She's been late every day this week.
Honestly, I'm gonna talk to her.
Oh, no, Richard,
please don't talk to her! Please.
If we don't keep her happy,
she'll leave.
Would that be the worst
thing in the world?
Uh, frankly, at this point,
it would be easier if you left.
You know what I mean.
- She's here! She's here.
- Good morning.
Men and women
look at childcare very differently.
- The surf was beautiful today.
- Richard sees an outflow of cash
we badly need at the moment,
and I see a person who knows
which blankie Ben likes.
It's a good job. I love the kids,
and Kate is a great boss.
What does Kate do for a living?
I have no idea.
Works in a bank?
Is she... is she like a teller?
Come on, Mom,
we're gonna be late.
Hey, Paula, can you put
this in a container for me?
Sure.
- You... made a pie?
- Yep.
OK, can I just say that I work
for a high-powered investment firm,
daughter's kindergarten teacher
when we're late for circle time.
Does Mama love you
a little or a lot?
A little.
- A lot.
- A lot! Oh!
Have a good day, OK?
I love you. Goodbye. Go.
Go, go, go, go, go, go.
Late again,
Mrs. Reddy?
Yeah, sorry.
We'll do better tomorrow.
Perhaps.
- Good morning.
- You baked a pie, really?
Are you trying
to make me look bad?
It's from the deli
around the corner.
And you distressed it? Nice!
Did you have to throw away the
package before the nanny saw it?
Well, duh.
This is my friend Allison.
Oh, wait, you've already met her, right.
She's a single mom, and I can always
count on Allison,
especially for things like
making something much worse
than I did for the bake sale.
That is unset Jell-O, folks.
Kate and I bonded immediately.
A working mother needs solidarity.
And we know where we rank
in likeability.
Just below felon
and just above shoplifter.
God, it's so sad. Women used to
make the pies and fake the orgasms.
Now we fake the pies.
That's a big improvement
as far as I'm concerned.
Thank you. I was up all night.
Oh, sh*t!
There they are.
