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.
Mary's drawn a picture
