Because then I think that

the beauty will...

Come out in my work.

You must lead a very

glamorous life, Mary.

I suppose so, Bob...

Sometimes sitting here...

Day after day...

Banging away at my keyboard...

Writing can be so...

So lonely.

I guess you got to have a very

vivid imagination...

To write this

romance novels, don't you?

Yes, I do.

But I also do a lot of...

Research.

" She entwined her

limbs about him..."

"As ivy may wrap itself

around some massive pillar."

"When his love nectar was spent..."

"They drifted into the bliss of sleep."

Maybe he had an accident

and got amnesia.

Don't be a jerk!

If he lost his memory...

The people at the hospital

would just look in his wallet.

And what if his car

slipped off the road...

And he got smashed into

little bloody pieces?

Stop talking like that!

Andrew put that animal down!

Your father drove someone home...

And he probably just blew a tyre

on the expressway.

And it got late...

Bob!

Is that you?

Come on, Fuzzy.

Hi, honey!

Where were you?

Oh, you'll never believe

what happened.

I'm headed home on

the expressway...

And KABUM!

The rear tyre blows up!

By the time I got

the damn tyre changed...

It was so late...

I figured I'd better

check into a motel.

You know, I certainly didn't

want to fall asleep at the wheel.

How're you doing, champ?

Why don't you call me?

Oh, you want me to call at 4:30

and woke up the whole house?

Come on!

Good morning, princess!

Good morning!

Boy, am I hungry!

You are in a good mood

this morning!

By the way, I have got

some great news!

I've landed the

Mary Fisher account!

And that's just the beginning!

With Mary Fisher

as my star client...

I'm not just an

accountant, I am...

Business manager!

Daddy...

Are we going to be rich?

Right away, princess!

- All right!

- All right!

My husband is having an

affair with Mary Fisher!

Ruth, how can you say that?

I've always been totally

honest with you.

You are my best friend!

What's going on between me and Mary

is purely professional.

I would never, ever do anything

to hurt you and the kids.

Come on, honey!

Trust me!

Mary Fisher, I hope your

pink palace crumbles into the sea...

I hope your delicate white skin

breaks up in hives...

And your shiny blond hair

falls off at the roots!

But meanwhile...

I will watch...

And wait.

I will keep busy in

taking care of our home.

I will try to look attractive

for my husband.

Bob's just going into a phase...

And when it's over, I'll be here.

Ready and waiting for him.

Mary Fisher, you are just a fling.

A novelty, an infatuation.

Bob doesn't love you!

I love you!

I know my husband better

than you ever will, Mary Fisher.
