Well, in retrospect, I agree with you, but

at the time it seemed like he was just

grabbing a condom out of the rubber bowl

and headin' over to meet my girlfriend.

So, as you all know, we

begin construction today

on our next Candy Systems

and Research Superstore.

First order of business, to

suss out the competition.

Are there any other nearby

candy stores we need to

"know about"?

The only one we could find

is just this really small

quirky candy shop across the

street from our location.

- It's called Upper Sweet Side, NYC.

- Kind of a dumb name for a store, huh?

That's so stupid.

- No, I think it's kind of clever. I like it.

- What was that, Joel?

Nothing, sir.

That'll be $100,000 dollars.

I'm just kidding. It's all free.

Oh, I love my little shop, Wanda.

It's what I've always dreamed of,

ever since I was a little girl.

And it's never going anywhere.

Nothing is ever going to threaten it.

- Oh, no.

- What?

They're building a Candy Systems

and Research Superstore

directly across the street from us.

Oh, my God! They'll put

us out of business!

Discovering this information

is a huge turn of events.

You weren't kidding. Your story

really is like a corny movie.

I know. The only difference is it's

not a movie. It's our real life.

So with a Superstore going up across the

street, I went to go see my accountant.

- Hi, Molly.

- Hi, Mr. Flaps.

- Oh, Please. My friends call me Eggbert.

- Then they must not be very good friends.

No, that's just my name.

Eggbert. Or Eggman, for short.

I know. It's kind of a lame

name, but what can you do?

How about we take a gander

at those documentos?

- Yes, please.

- Right.

So, Molly, how is your love life?

You livin' la vida loca?

Um, well, not really,

Eggman. I'm guessing

you heard that Frank and

I finally broke up.

I did hear. Yeah.

I heard about your

divorce. I'm sorry.

Apology accepted.

- I...

- It's just one of those things.

We wanted different things.

I wanted a family, settle

down, start a life together.

- And what did she want?

- Who can say?

I guess you'd have

to ask my brother.

Oh.

- Is he here? Can I ask him?

- Yes. Keith.

- You have a second?

- What's up?

Hey, Keith. I was just wondering,

what did Hillary want that was

different than what Eggbert wanted?

Uh, she just wanted to

travel more, she wanted

to focus on her

photo-journalism career.

And marriage just wasn't

conducive to that.

- Thanks, Keith.

- Thanks, Keith.

Listen, I am lookin'

over these numbers,

and just goin' off this data...

- You have breast cancer.

- What?

Corporately speaking.

Oh. Oh.

Your business has, at

best, six months to live.
