A Family Man Page #4

Lou, I'm bringing in

another person to help.

His name's Sumner Firestone,

he's a great guy.

Recruiting savant.

We have any other prospects

on the horizon that look good?

No, not at the moment, Lou.

You call me when you hear

something, okay?

- So, how did it go?

- Oh, they uh,

they decided to go with the

other candidate, no big deal.

- Thank heavens!

- What?

I'm sorry, sweetie,

I know you were interested

in doing this job,

but I was praying that we

wouldn't have to go to Mobile.

I have no desire to see

a hurricane up close.

Besides,

after 29 years,

I kinda like having you

home with me.

Bea, it's been

nearly a year.

And?

Are you complaining?

Three layoffs in eight months.

Your plant is dying.

I can hear the death rattle

from here. And when it does,

the only steady job you're gonna

find within a hundred miles

of Elkhart won't require

an engineering degree,

but a little blue vest and the

phrase "Hi, welcome to Walmart."

What am I missing?

[Time kills all deals, Eric.

Or reading about their new hire

not named Eric on Monday.

[When I told him about

your opportunity,

His wife's already looking at

homes and schools in Raleigh.

Now is Friday morning better

for you or afternoon?

He's an excellent surgeon.

He's an excellent

plastic surgeon.

The grim reaper is coming

through the cornfield

and he's half Mexican,

half Chinese and he doesn't

take prisoners.

That hole in his resume

is because he's been,

he's been off the grid,

he's been, you know, working

with Doctors Without Borders,

he's in the Sudan sowing up

cleft palates.

This is one of the best offers

I've seen...

before or since a recession

and it ends when I hang up this

phone. Now when can you start?

One week or two?

For Christ sakes, Elise!

It's not battery acid!

Where the hell did you get

that idea from anyway?

You try it!

Believe me,

I would if I could.

Well, maybe if I hadn't

already been down there...

for forty minutes already.

Well, maybe if you did it

more often...

I wouldn't drag it

out so long.

Maybe if you didn't

drag it out so long...

I'd do it more often!

You know, most women

appreciate a man...

who's not a premature

ejaculator.

Sweetheart, when

it comes to blowj*bs,

every woman appreciates a man

who's a premature ejaculator.

- Right.

- I'm sorry.

I said I'm sorry. Look, I was

fine with it until the end.

I just wasn't expecting you

to ask me to do... that.

I don't know, I just

wanted to try something

a little different, that's all.

My fault. Should've

pre-coached you on it.

Well, I'm not one

of your candidates.

I'm just worried about Ryan.

He's not himself.

Come on.

There's nothing wrong
