There you go!

And he's got something for you!

Hannah, when is your birthday?

Three more months.

Three months?

I can't wait that long.

Me, too.

I cannot wait to give you your

present for three months.

You can write anything you want in there:

your secrets, your dreams...

...and only you can read them.

It's wonderful!

Mom!

Mr. Lucky's got one for you!

There you go!

And Mr. Lucky's

got one for you!

There you go!

Who else wants one?

- How's it going, Chef?

- Crazy.

Interesting bunch over there.

Yeah. That's part of

a parenting group.

Personally,

I'd rather belong to a satanic cult.

Probably be easier

on the kids, yes.

- Boy, they really like these suckers raw.

- So how old is...

Hi.

How are you?

Great party.

Thanks, Elliott.

I particularly liked the part

where Mr. Lucky couldn't find his hat.

I never get tired of that.

Can you make purple?

- Purple?

- Milk.

Do you want magenta purple

or fuchsia purple?

Emily said you were good.

What else does our friend say?

That you're a great dancer.

I'll settle for that.

- So how old is...

- Pin the Tail on the Donkey.

I forgot to put up the donkey.

Can you believe it?

Peter!

Didn't I just see him?

You know what?

We really have to be going.

- But aren't you going to

stay for cake? - Cake?

I'm sorry.

Jeez!

- Thank you.

- You're going?

You don't want any cake?

Thank you.

- Purple! - If you're going

to have a hot fling...

...you might as well have it

with someone who looks like that.

Donkey.

You wanted to meet my friends.

I guess they don't hold your attention.

They seem like very nice people.

We don't exactly have a lot in common.

- So what?

- No. You don't.

You make that sound

like an accusation.

You wanted to come,

but you just wanted to come and go.

I'm not leaving. This is my

goddaughter's birthday party.

I'll stay till the last gift is open

and the last kid goes home.

All right.

You want me to stay, I'll stay.

I never wanted you to

come in the first place.

All right.

I get the picture.

You'll get home all right?

- Kathy will take me.

- Okay.

Remember we said we would stop

this when it wasn't fun anymore?

Are we having fun now?

No.

Careful, Liana.

I know.

Elliott leave?

Why can't I be attracted to a nice,

solid professional?

- You got any divorced MBAs around?

- I liked him. I thought he was disarming.

- We broke up.

- In a phony sort of way.

And look what he calls purple.

You can do better than that.

- Anyway, his bod wasn't that great.

- Yes, it was.

Yes, it was.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah.

Great party, Mom.

Come to dinner Friday.

I can't. I'm supposed to

be in Denver on Friday.

Denver?

Elliott's got a show there
