A Nanny for Christmas Page #3

I'm very dedicated.

Also I'm looking for

a disciplinarian.

I ran my division for two weeks

when Johnson went on vacation.

Hmm. Good.

I believe in being honest

so I'm gonna be straight with you.

My husband has been back East

for the last two months

opening our New York office.

Meanwhile I am here

desperately trying to balance

being a mother, being a father,

and running an entire

advertising agency.

I have come to

the inevitable conclusion

that I need help.

Excuse me. Yes?

Woman:

Mr. Donner's on line 1.

Oh, uh, thank you.

Excuse me.

- Hello, Mr. Donner.

- Susan.

- Well, it's Samantha, actually.

- Susan,

two weeks ago I was hunting

buffalo in the Adirondacks

and my annual sales report

came through on my phone.

In the 25 years since I started

this company from nothing,

I have never posted a single financial loss-

not one- until now.

- So you know what I did, Susan?

- No, sir.

I tossed my shotgun to the ground.

I immediately shut down my facility

and I started flipping through my phone

book for someone to hold responsible.

And you know who

I came up with, Susan?

Uh, your former advertising firm?

Bingo! I hear they

have product-placement people

handing out samples

at ice-skating rinks.

Ice-skating rinks, Susan!

- Oh.

- I want something new.

I want something bold.

And I hear you people are doing

some pretty amazing stuff, Susan.

Thank you, sir.

Actually it's- it's Samantha.

And after my meeting with

those boneheads over there at Halligan,

I can use a little bit of amazement,

Susan, believe you me.

I want a fresh start going into

the new year, Susan.

So I want to make a decision

by Christmas Eve.

Valentine's Day

is rapidly approaching

and it's the biggest day of the year

for a chocolatier.

So there's not a moment to lose.

You understand, Susan?

- Of course.

- Set it up.

Uh, thank you, sir.

The Ryland Agency is very-

Sir?

Yeah, call the team.

Assemble an emergency strategy meeting,

five minutes. Thank you.

Look, I'm really sorry to

cut this short,

but this is a really big

opportunity for us.

Believe me, I understand.

This is what I'm offering per week.

Monday to Friday, 8:00 to 6:00,

maybe as late as 7:00 sometimes,

weekends- overtime, of course.

- Dollars?

- What do you say?

When can I start?

Perfect.

I know you'll make a great nanny.

Ally:

A nanny?

Tina:

Ally, I swear I had no idea.

Tina, I'm an ad executive.

Look at the bright side: it's top dollar

and it'll get you through the holidays.

I don't know about this.

I don't know the first thing about nannying.

What's there to know? It's like babysitting,

only you get paid a lot more.

I don't know about this.
