Two Weeks Notice Page #3

No, Mr. Wade, you don't understand.

I live there, as well as my parents.

They know Assemblyman Perez,

who's on the board.

If you can guarantee the preservation

of this center, I can guarantee you the build.

But why us? Why Wade?

Well, I can't get in to see Trump

and the Zegmans have a restraining order.

Mr. W?

You're supposed to be taping

The View in half an hour...

...and Public Policy magazine needs a quote

on the challenges of urban planning. Hey.

Right. Yes. Quote, quote, quote, quote...

What I love about architecture

is its ability to shape a community.

This center has shaped the community!

It turns strangers into neighbors...

Its ability to change

strangers into neighbors.

How the right design for a park

makes people feel secure.

How a school building can be functional

and beautiful so that kids feel...

No, the community center makes children

feel engaged, and it allows them a place...

Functional and beautiful so that kids

feel engaged instead of imprisoned?

- Yeah, it sounds good.

- I like that.

But I said a community center,

not a school.

I know, it's all very good.

Jump in. Thanks.

- Nice shirt.

- Thank you.

So do we have a deal?

No. I want something else from you.

No. I am fully aware of your reputation

and there's no way you're getting that. No.

- Getting what?

- You know.

The sex. That's not gonna happen.

No, that would be nice.

I promise to save your community center.

On top of which, you can direct

our pro bono efforts.

That's millions at your charitable disposal.

I've spent my entire life

working against people like you.

Well, maybe if you work for me,

you'll win occasionally.

I need an answer, I'm afraid, immediately.

Here is my direct number at the Grand Hotel.

- You live at a hotel?

- Well, I own the hotel and I live there.

My life is very much like Monopoly.

And I know you wouldn't care,

but I'll start you at $250,000.

There's also usually

a very nice Christmas bonus.

Thank you.

- I can't believe how much I ate.

- I'm proud of you.

The whole left side of the menu.

You know when I get tense,

I just start to eat.

- Honey, you cannot work for that man.

- Hey, we can use the bail money.

- Remember what Sun Tzu said?

- Yes.

"Keep your friends close

and your enemies closer."

Sun Tzu didn't have a daughter.

What's this? Oh, dessert. Thank you.

It's the only way to save

the community center.

It is. And if I work for him...

...I have huge resources

at my disposal for charities and shelters...

- Yes, but...

- Mom, I promise.

I will still be your daughter.

I will still be a lawyer.

And I will still have

all the same ideals.
