- Hi.

- Hi.

I need a drink.

OK. I'm leaving you for a few minutes,

so I'm trusting you not to touch anything.

- Bye-bye.

- Bye-bye.

(key turning in lock)

JC!

I'm home!

Mm, great hunting boots.

Now if I only hunted.

- Hi!

- Argh!

- (Elizabeth screams)

- God! Whoa!

(crash/)

- What is this?

- A baby.

- What is it doing here?

- You know that pin I thought I inherited?

- Yes.

- Well, it wasn't a pin.

Ah, here it is. "We hereby request

that JC Wiatt act as guardian...

...to our only child, Elizabeth Wiatt."

- Mm-hm.

"If JC Wiatt is unable to act as guardian,

we leave it to her discretion...

...to find suitable adoptive parents."

Thank God you have an out clause!

- You do want the out clause?

- Of course! What do you think?

I thought I heard

your biological clock ticking.

Oh, Steven, please! Tomorrow I'll contact

whoever it is who finds adoptive parents...

...but in the meantime we'll make do.

Would you hold her?

- Oh, no, no.

- I can't...

- I never held a baby.

- Oh, I see. What, I have?

- Oh, God.

- Thank you very much.

Look, there is nothing

in the world to get uptight about.

We're two summa cum laudes. We can

handle one little baby for eight hours.

- (Steven humming)

- (JC) Mm. Yum.

Mm-hm. Thank you very much.

(Steven) It's linguini time.

I think you're gonna like this.

(JC) Here you go.

Bon apptit.

Great idea. Give her linguini. Wonderful.

Ugh! I think it would

be easier to just move.

What are you doing?

Spaghetti's dropping from the ceiling.

"Put between baby's legs, release tapes,

position over front of absorbent padding."

(sighs)

Now... Oh.

"Release the tapes."

There.

"Front of absorbent..."

Agh!

This is really fabulous.

"Position over front

of absorbent padding."

OK, I've got it!

Perfect!

(coos and laughs)

(Elizabeth) Agh!

(Elizabeth laughs)

- (Elizabeth cries)

- Yes, now the diaper... OK.

Oh.

Sit. Yes, now, there. Sit.

Play with it. Here.

Yes, you can play with that.

Fine. You're doing splendidly.

A lot of them. There must be 30, 40.

Weinberger insisted he needs everything

he asked for to negotiate with the Soviets.

This opportunity to go over

the growing nature...

(crying drowns out speech)

Do you mind? I'm trying... JC, please.

- I don't know what to do.

- All right, I'll handle this.

- Stop crying, please. Stop. I'll pay you.

- Elizabeth, now listen.

It is 11.53 and it's time

for you to go to sleep.

It's late, we have a lot of work to do,

and we need some peace and quiet.

Elizabeth, grow up. I have a conference in
