...a copy of the Wiatts' will,

and Elizabeth's birth certificate.

- I'm not the right person for this.

- You're the only person, Miss Wiatt.

She's agreeable. Once you get the hang

of it, you'll be a wonderful mother.

I don't... I...

Mother?!

Oh! Oh, oh. Agh, agh...

Armand! No, just get... Yeah.

Now, careful, Armand.

Her diaper's just a little bit damp.

- (Elizabeth sneezes)

- Gesundheit.

- Would you mind?

- No, I don't mind. What?

Oh, yeah. There.

- Anything to check?

- Yes!

- No, no, no!

- Just for an hour. She's very agreeable.

- Hughes... JC Wiatt.

- Good to meet you.

Good to meet you. I'm so sorry I'm late.

Thank you. Would you like...

I see. You have something to drink.

I'll join you. Waiter, I would like

a glass of wine, the same as Mr Larrabee.

- Yes, ma'am.

- (crying)

So, how long you in diapers for?

In town for?

Just a day.

- I can't take too much of a good thing.

- (bawling)

That's very funny.

I wanted to tell you I was just so knocked

out when Fritz told me about your call.

- I've always been a huge fan of yours...

- Armand, what is going on?

Let me handle it. I'll find out.

Excuse me, Hughes, Armand.

Sh, sh, sh.

Look, miss. Miss! I'm in the middle of

a major meeting. Keep her quiet, OK?

- Look, if it's so easy, you try it!

- I don't know how to...

- (stops crying)

- She wanted her mama.

I am not her mother. By the way, she has

been through a traumatic experience...

...so a little compassion

would not be out of line, OK?

I will give you a very big tip.

I'll give you my Visa card.

Can you believe somebody

would actually bring a baby here?

- (crying)

- As I was saying...

...I'm intrigued by

the panache of The Food Chain.

- Tell me about you.

- Me, huh? Me.

Well, I... I... Oh, I just... I'm assigned

to all our Fortune 100 companies.

I personally handle

IBM, Xerox, DuPont, Polaroid...

- Excuse me?

...Texas Instruments, uh, uh...

...Atlantic Overseas...

- Yo!

- What?

- Your baby just barfed all over my boss.

This is not my baby! I... I went to Harvard

and Yale, and I don't have children.

She just... She's... She belongs...

Look, I'm gonna hold her for just a minute

but this is not going to affect me. Um, yes.

Let's see, who else do I handle?

I also handle Hewlett-Packard...

...um, Citicorp, Eastman Kodak. They

always ask for me. They love me there.

Oh, God. Oh!

Um, Luvs, here we go. Pampers.

God. Huggies Supertrim. OK, large.

23 pounds and over.

Hey! Medium...

...20. 12. 12 to 24 pounds...

...and newborns up to 14 pounds.

OK, so... You're not newborn, are you?

How much do you weigh anyway?

22... Oh, 22 pounds. OK.

Oh, my God.

There.

Hi.

Hi.
