"Spot-checks on....

[MUMBLING]

Speaking of the merger,

are you rich and famous yet?

Congratulations in

advance on your promotion.

Arthur."

Dad, you got a e-mail.

SUSAN:
I'm not a pain in the ass,

I'm being a lawyer.

There's a difference.

TOM:
No more computer games, Matt,

it's time for school. Eliza, where are you?

ELIZA:

You got a e-mail, Dad.

SUSAN:
Matt's got toothpaste all over!

TOM:
Matt.

SUSAN:
If you can't get them ready

for school, don't say you'll take care of it.

TOM:
You're welcome.

SUSAN:
Yeah, I'm here.

-And Liza needs a jacket.

TOM:
I know. Liza!

ELIZA:

A jacket doesn't go, Dad.

TOM:

Matt, put on a sweatshirt.

MATT:

That's for girls, a white sweatshirt.

TOM:
Since when? Liza!

ELIZA:
Dad, leave me alone.

TOM:

Liza, I am the father.

When your father says put your jacket on,

you put your jacket on.

ELIZA:
Ariel doesn't have a father.

She has two mothers.

TOM:

That's interesting.

SUSAN:
He's in a hotel with his secretary

patched in from New York...

...while I'm brushing the Cheerios

out of my file folders.

It's insanity.

TOM:
Put your jacket on.

ELIZA:
No.

SUSAN:
Put this on, sweetie.

ELIZA:
No.

SUSAN:

You can take it off when you get to school.

TOM:

When I say listen to Mom, listen to Mom.

SUSAN:
Matt, did you pee?

MATT:
Yes.

SUSAN:
I don't know why

you said you'd help me out...

...on a day like today,

with your promotion.

MATT:

What's dad wearing around his neck?

TOM:

You don't know what this is?

This is a tie.

SUSAN:

Daddy's getting a promotion.

ELIZA:
Dad, you got a e-mail.

TOM:
Thanks. Let's go.

We're late.

Did you call about those

Disneyland tickets?

-With everything I have to do today?

-It's just one call.

Who are they for?

Mohammed Jafar.

He's foreman of the Malaysian plant.

You're the one person I know

who sucks up to the people below you.

Matt, don't kick the seat.

-What's that on your tie?

-Toothpaste. Let's go.

SUSAN:
The one day you wear a tie,

it shouldn't look like a bib.

Hi, Cindy, what's up?

Garvin came by the office this morning?

About the promotion?

Matt, will you stop that?

He was surprised I was late?

What does that mean?

Did he say it in passing,

or like he really meant it?

I wonder why Garvin's coming by

the office at 8:
00 in the morning.

To congratulate you.

That's not like him.

He treats everyone like dirt.

Except the top guys.

Yeah. Except the top guys.

When this merger with Conley-White

goes through...

...and they spin off our division,

we're gonna be rich, Susan.

-We're already rich, if you ask me.

-No, I mean-- I mean really rich.

My grandmother used to have

this expression:

"Don't climb up there too close to God,

He might shake the tree."

Tom!

Thanks for this morning.

Go! Go, go, go!

[BELL RINGING]

[PEOPLE CHEERING]

[HORN BLOWING]

PRICE:
Smaller, faster, cheaper, better.

TOM:
Yeah, heh.

PRICE:
Remember the first ones,

the way you lugged it around?

People were amazed. It was like

showing a Polaroid to a bushman.

Now, if it's bigger than a credit card,

it's too inconvenient.

Keeps you on your toes.

Eddie, it's Tom. Cindy said you called.

Sure, I can hang on.

How's the job search?

Did I tell you what they told me?

I was "surplussed."

Ever hear that word?

What's going on down there, Eddie?

What? That's crazy.

They should've said, "sodomized."

They're not gonna sell the Austin plant.

That's just a rumor floating around.

You don't see it coming. You go along,

and then one day there's no room.

Boom. No more room for you.

Smaller, faster, cheaper, better.
