Must you continue to work

while we're eating?

Honey, I got to get this wrapped up,

corrected, typed

by tomorrow morning.

I don't want to work while we eat.

I gotta work while we eat.

Sorry.

- Is it good, sweetheart?

- Mmm, it's good, Mommy.

The eggplant's delicious.

I do appreciate it.

- Alex called today.

- Yeah?

He invited us

to a consulate reception.

Good.

You want more milk, sweetheart?

Yes, please, Mommy.

I'll give him a call tomorrow.

Okay, fine.

You can call him...

But, personally, I'd rather not go.

What do you mean?

Why don't you want to go?

Do I have to give a reason?

I just don't want to go.

- LAURA:
Ah!

- Amy, be careful!

- AMY:
It wasn't me!

- LAURA:
Oh, God.

Ah...

TED:
You ready, baby?

Is this okay for where we're going?

The Japanese?

Well, I don't know

about the Japanese,

but this American thinks

you look fabulous.

Come on.

Oh...dear.

LAURA:

A note for my friend Rita...

Sorry.

Sorry.

Sure.

Thank you.

Ted, right behind you.

See that guy at the table?

The one with glasses.

- He edits four magazines.

- TED:
Oh, yeah?

Look, I think he's--

Why don't you go over and say hello?

It'd be a good outlet for you.

Don't worry about Laura.

We'll have a drink, and we'll dance.

Go on.

You'll be okay?

Of course, I'll be okay.

- Thank you Alex.

- Go get him, pal.

Well...would you like to dance?

Yes, I'd love to.

Well, beautiful blonde lady,

what did you mean by that phone call?

Take me outside.

What?

I said, take me outside.

Sure.

MAN:
Why don't you visit me

next week in Tokyo,

and we'll discuss business,

and I will show you the Ginza.

TED:
I'm looking forward to it.
