I Don't Know How She Does It Page #4

on the floor.

I doubt they even read them.

And I certainly doubt

they picked one from here,

but mark my words, if they did,

it will be Bunce's.

Don't ask me how, but that

guy just keeps failing up.

Oh, speak of the devil.

Kate!

There's Chris Bunce.

He's our DOA:

Designated Office A**hole.

Bunce loves that I have kids.

Keeps me from getting an edge

on the competition,

the one men get when they take clients

out for drinks and dinners

and golf games. You know

what I'm talking about.

The schmooze.

There you are.

Everything OK this morning?

I was looking for you

and I couldn't find you.

- Nothing with the kids, I hope.

- Oh, I had a...

- Don't ask.

- Anyway,

I was just saying to Clark,

Kate is amazing, isn't she?

I mean, I don't know

how she does it.

- All those children...

- I have two.

- It's so impressive.

- You have four.

Yeah, but two of mine are twins.

Bunce.

How the hell is equality

between the sexes supposed to work?

They can give you good jobs,

maternity leave,

but until you program a man to notice

when you're out of toilet paper,

the project is doomed.

I resent when people say

there's a double standard.

Men also have a lot to juggle.

Take our shoes.

Do women's shoes need to be

shiny all the time? No.

You never see a woman

getting her shoes shined.

Women's shoes

can be flat and dull.

Not men's.

That's a double standard.

Bunce had a great series

of meetings this week

with the institutional investors from

Oakland about their retirement fund.

Yes, meetings went great. Even got in

a little culture while they were here.

Took them to a dance show.

Hey! Whoo!

Interpretive.

Interpretive dance show.

Nice work, Bunce.

Moving on to new business.

Jack Abelhammer in our New York office

has sparked to a proposal

from this office, and he'd

like to meet the author.

Kick the tires, see if it's an

idea worth bringing to Harcourt.

Bunce, I know how long

you've waited for this chance.

Keep waiting.

Congratulations, Kate.

You'll be heading to New York tonight.

You've got a 9am with Abelhammer.

Really?

Guess someone finally

read one of your proposals.

Wow!

Congrats to the B team.

OK.

If this works out,

this could be a big step up.

A lot of travel,

a lot of one-on-one with Abelhammer.

It's gonna be great.

Plus, gives your kids a chance

to spend all that extra quality time

they've been hoping for...

...with your nanny.

And your husband will be thrilled.

Congratulations.

You know she's married,

right?

Well, in her marriage,

she has to call her husband

every time she has to work late

or go across the country

or she can't pick up her kids

from school.

It's like she's on parole.
