The Women Page #4

Will you put that thing away?

So impressive turnout. Congrats.

- Well, thanks for opening up your Rolodex.

- Hey, what are best friends for?

- What's wrong? Nothing.

- What's wrong? Nothing.

- Why are you asking?

- You looked at me funny.

- What's going on?

- Nothing.

Yeah, something. Your eyes just shifted.

- You're not telling me something.

- I tell you everything.

And what's with you,

and your tense shoulders up to your ears?

Oh. Okay, I wasn't gonna say anything...

...but I think my father's getting ready

to hand me the, uh...

- Business?

- Yes.

- Wow. Is that a good thing?

- Of course, yes, it's a great thing.

It's a fantastic thing,

it's just a lot to take on.

I have to talk to Stephen.

He's not gonna be thrilled.

Stephen, right.

So where is he on a Saturday afternoon?

The office, where he has been

almost every day and night...

...for the last month,

working on some hedge fund.

Hmm.

- Really? Ahem.

- Yeah, but in 24 hours...

...we are gonna be sipping cappuccino

at the Piazza San Marco.

- Are you sure you're all right?

- I'm fine. I'm just kind of hungry.

I'll get something to eat.

- Oh. Oh.

- Oh.

- No, that's okay.

- Lucy.

- Take this.

- Oh, no.

You have to.

You can come work for me.

- Oh, my.

- Take the card.

- No, I won't do it.

- Please take the card, sweetheart. Take it.

No carbohydrates at all, which is fine...

...because the human body

does not need them.

- Hey, cute dress.

Thanks.

Cool shades.

- There you go.

- Thanks.

Cheers.

Edie, that's a lot of food.

Where are you putting it?

Well, I might as well tell you.

You'll find out soon enough.

I'm eating for two.

- Aw. For crying out loud, Edie, jeez.

- Oh, my God.

- Don't you ever say no?

- How many kids do you need?

- What's happening?

- Edie's knocked up again.

Oof. Ugh.

- Are you sure?

- Of course I'm sure.

- I wanna keep going until I get a boy.

- Don't we have enough of those?

You know what?

You two don't understand.

There's absolutely nothing

more thrilling...

...than knowing that you're actually

growing a human being inside of you.

Right, Mary?

Well, you know,

I was going through some junk...

...in the attic the other day,

and I saw this box labeled "jars. "

Yes, I am a jar saver.

And I open up the box, anyway,

and I look in there, and it's not jars.

It's just a whole pile

of Molly's baby clothes.

I just picked up one of those little rompers,

I could just feel the tug on my uterus, so...

What are you saying?

You're thinking about having another baby?

I don't know, you know. I'd never thought

about having more than one, but lately...

Maybe since I know the gate's closing,

I don't know.
