3 Men and a Little Lady

---

Mary, come

and eat breakfast.

Mama-a-popala,

mama-a-popala,

mama-a-popala.

Huh-hum, mama,

huh-hum, mama.

Oh, you're just the person

I've been waiting for.

- Good morning, buttercup.

- Good morning, Jack.

Help me pick a tie.

How's this one?

Too traditional?

Absolutely right.

How 'bout this one?

Too avant garde.

No.

- This one?

- I like that one.

What would I do

without you?

- Did you see my red shoe?

- Your red shoe?

I don't think

I have.

If I were a red shoe,

where would I hide?

Right over here?

No.

Here? No.

What about back here?

Nope.

Mary, honey,

your breakfast is ready!

- Are you going to the "inner"?

- The interview? Of course.

I'm going to meet

your teachers,

tell 'em what a

great kid you are.

- What should I wear?

- Let's pick something out.

Thanks.

I needed that.

Mary?

Go eat your breakfast.

Hurry up.

- Did you get that review?

- Yes, thank you.

I loved seeing that guy eat crow

after what he said about you.

- You take my reviews too personally.

- I don't think so.

When we're in a restaurant

and you see a critic,

you want to throw

your butter knife.

I would've got the last

guy if he hadn't moved.

Oh, you missed

a spot.

Hello, lovely ladies.

- Here's your breakfast, Michael.

- Thanks.

- Toast is done.

- Damn!

Jerry, I realize you're

trying to save money,

but we are building an

office for 12,000 people.

You can't put a bathroom

on every other floor.

What if they don't go

before they come to work?

Fine, okay.

I'll hold.

Morning, everyone.

- Can you believe how

people try to save money?

- Jerry again?

Yeah, the Albert Schweitzer

of real estate.

Oh, no!

- Look, my foot must

have grown last night.

- That's my shoe.

Thank God.

I thought it was me.

Mary, don't you

like your oatmeal?

- It tastes like rubber.

- It's supposed to.

- What a crock.

- Where did you hear that expression?

What a crock!

What?

What'd I do?

Finish getting dressed.

I'll fix something else.

Oh.

Did I say "over night"?

I meant "over light."

- You don't like my eggs?

- You kidding?

That's the best

part about you.

They're perfect

just like you are.

- Look. You did your hair.

- Someone noticed!

Are we ready

for the interview?

- Absolutely.

- Definitely.

What about your

commercial shoot?

They gave me

an hour off.

This is the school

we want Mary to go to.

I've been here the 5 years it

took us to decide!

They put less research

into the salt treaty.

- Primary school...

- "Is the first watershed

event of a child's life."

Have I said that before?

Not in the last 5 minutes.

- I'll be there.

- Don't be late.

Have I ever let

you down before?

Mary, while we're

talking with the lady,

- you'll be in a class

with other boys and girls.

- Okay.

Relax. This

isn't going to hurt.

I think we

better start.

It's getting late.

Yes, it is.

- You're the architect?

- That's right.

And you are

the cartoonist?

- Actually, I'm a satirist.

- Michael draws Johnny Cool.

- Oh, that cute kitten!

- He's really not a kitten.

He's a cat who symbolizes

the angst of the single man.

- I adore that little hat he wears.

- Mr. Holden is...

- The actor.

- But very stable. Not one of...

Michael, they know

actors are normal people.

Good afternoon!

Oh, my God!

I didn't mean to frighten you.

Forgive the makeup.

I'm in the middle

of a commercial...

for Fairlawn Margarine

about Count Cholesterol.

Probably seen me

on TV, huh?

How do you do?

Hmm? How do you do?

I had a hell of a time

catching a cab.

What? Oh!

Thank you.

Ooo! Look.
