It's going to be

all of Mom's boring friends.

I'll try.

Not good enough.

I said I'll try.

Now let me go.

Pretty please?

Out!

[Telephone Rings]

Damn.

Hey, is that your article?

Yeah, itjust came in.

Great.

Will you two come on?

Michael's waiting.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

There's something very wrong here.

Good work, Maddik.

Thankyou.

Hid in the rose bushes two hours

to get that money shot.

Mm-hmm.

Michael, I'd like to go over that

before you read it.

One ofthe copy editors--

The article's fiine.

Get this to the art department.

We're resetting the whole issue.

You got the cover, Maddik.

You owe it to your friend here.

All right!

Thankyou, sir.

[Intercom Buzzes]

Mr. Siegal's office

isholding on linesix.

Eliot, not only is

your research excellent,

but your text is clean, concise.

You even have some style.

Thankyou.

[Music Plays]

What the hell.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Oh, Nick,

I'm so glad you could make it.

Honey, this is Nick.

Nick, this is my husband

Cliff Forrester.

My wife speaks very highly ofyou.

How's everything out back?

Oh, well, it's great, sir.

You have a beautiful place.

Thankyou.

You enjoy it.

Thankyou.

Honey, look,

there are the Mortins.

I think she's had her eyes done.

Saperstein did her eyes

fiive years ago.

No.

It's her breasts

I was wondering about.

Excuse us, Nick.

Come on.

Hang in there, Nick.

[Piano Playing]

Excuse me.

That was lovely, Adrian.

Thankyou.

Thanks.

I knew you'd come.

Ifyou were 1 0 years older...

You'd what?

So how did your boss

like the article?

It was you?

You rewrote it?

Hi, Mr. Fogel!

Hello, Adrian!

How'd you get in?

It ain't Fort Knox.

Adrian, you can't do that.

It worked, though, didn't it?

Poor Nick.

You have such a terrible time

with the objective case,

and your split infiinitives

put such a stress on the adverb.

You just can't

go around doing that.

It isn't right.

I just wanted you to like me.

Ofcourse I like you.

Then take me for a ride.

Now?

Just for a little while.

There's a place

I want to show you.

I...I don't know.

Please?

Come on, I want to show you.

Adrian.

Beautiful, isn't it?

Yeah, it is.

Look, I'm sorry

about the article,

and I won't do it again.

Look, I know I'm not

the world's greatest writer,

but, uh, believe me,

it's hard to take being bettered

by a 1 4-year-old kid.

It's okay really.

No, it's not.

You don't know how hard it is

for me to make friends.

My parents made me skip

two grades in school.

My only friend is Cheyenne,

and it's only because...

my mom and her mom

went to college together,

so she kind of has to.

It's like everybody thinks

I'm some kind offreak or something,
