"Drink me"?

"Pour me."

A cassette.

What am I supposed to do
with this?

"Play me." I knew that.

Hello, Angela. Ahem.

I just wanted you to know that
the juice is fresh-squeezed,

the coffee is fresh-ground,

and I'm the one
who got you fired.

What did you say?

I said I'm the one
who got you fired.

But look at the bright side.

You don't have to go back
to the office anymore.

I mean,
it was making you so uptight.

You couldn't even tear
yourself away for a vacation.

I am not going
to Mexico

and there is nothing you can
say to change my mind.

All right.
Then I guess...

I won't say anything.

Tony, what are you doing?

Tony, put me down.

Excuse me.
Do you know the way to Mexico?

Through the door, senor.

Tony, I'm still your employer.
You put me down!

And even when we got
on vacation,

you still couldn't stop
working.

What's this?
My bookmark.

Bookmark, huh? You've been
working again, haven't you?

Well,
surf's up.

Tony. I don't have to
make any excuses.

My work is important to me.
Now please stop badgering me.

Badgering? I'll stop badgering
when you start having some fun.

Tony.
Tony, give those back to me.

Are you having fun yet?
Yes.

Yes, I'm having fun.
I'm having the time of my life.

You don't look like it.

Tony,
those are my prescription!

But then eventually,
you loosened up. Thanks to me.

And it was amazing, Angela.

You were actually fun
to be with.

From now on, no more work.

No work. I'm going to have fun.

I'm gonna get down.

I'm gonna boogey, oogey, oogey,

till I just can't boogie
no more.

So when you got another
one of those messages

from back a the office,
I didn't want to ruin your fun.

You will give her the message,
hey?

Oh, hey, Carlos, would I forget
something as important as this?

Gracias.
No problem, baby.

Ole!

[MARIACHI BAND PLAYING]

Ole!

And then when you got back
to the office...

Well,
you know what happened there.

I just laid it all out
for them.

I told them people
have to replenish themselves.

And that was the way
I was running my life,

and that was the way
I was running this company,

and if they didn't like it
they could get a wimp

like Jim Peterson for president.

A wimp! Ah!
I love it, I love it!

All right, Angela! Way to hang
tough. What'd they say?

Congratulations, Jim.

Angela, you...

You're telling me you...
you got canned?

No, Tony. People at my level
don't get canned.

I got fired.

I could have told you this all
in person,

but I thought this way
would be a lot less painful.

For both of us.

You're mad at me, aren't you?

You hate me, don't you?

You want to kill me, right?

Cat got your tongue?

I worked ten years for that job,
and now it's gone.

My life is in shambles.
Why did you do this to me?

Because I like you.

Ah, come on, Angela.
Come on, Angela,

you needed that vacation.

You were headed
for executive burnout.

I'm talking great balls of fire.
Psh. Psh.

You can't blame me, can you?

Yes!

I thought so.
You get the flowers?

Jonathan,
what's the matter?

You're not eating your cereal.

I'm letting my stomach shrink

in case Mom
doesn't find another job

and we can't afford food.

Jonathan, you're not going to
starve in Connecticut.

Haven't you ever heard
of happy hour?

You can live forever
on those little hot dogs

and chicken wings.

What if she never
gets another job?

What if we end up poor
and miserable?

What was it like, Sam?

Don't worry about it.
Everything's gonna be okay.

Nothing's gonna change.
Trust me.

Dad,
did Angela find a job yet?

She just got fired yesterday.

Well, what's she waiting for?

What if we have to sell the
house and move to the slums?

Or a condo?

Yeah, Dad,
where would that leave us?

I can't move back to Brooklyn
without my accent.

All right, all right,
the two of youse. Sit down here.

You listen up, the two of youse.

Sure you're upset
that Angela got fired,

but aren't we being
a little selfish here, huh?

Huh? What about her feelings?

What about her future?
What about me?

How are you, dear?
I'm terrible.

I just found out that Tony
was the one who got me fired.

Well, have you thanked him yet?

Thanked him? For what?

He kept you from killing
yourself with work.

He helped you see what was
really important in life.

He made you take a vacation.
And thanks to him,

you had a terrific time.

It wasn't so terrific.
I'm starting to peel.

Oh, Angela,
you did not lose your job

because Tony threw away
a message.

You lost your job because
you had the personal integrity

to stand up
to Wallace & McQuade.

How could I be so stupid?

I blew the best job
of my career!

I'm never going to get
anything as good.

Oh, Angela, you used to come
home from school

and say you'd failed,
and you always got an A.

You were worried
that you wouldn't graduate

and you were valedictorian.

You said you wouldn't get
a date for the prom--

Well, that's another story.

But the point is,
you always come through.

You're a winner.

I didn't know
you felt that way about me.

I have to. I'm your mother.

And as your mother,
I want you to have this.

Hm. Two years of unpaid rent.

Oh, Mother,
I-I couldn't take that from you.

Oh, Angela, look,

I would've had to pay
at least $500 a month

for any other apartment.
Huh?

Of course,
I would have a better view,

and two bathrooms

and a doorman.

But I insist.

No, Mother,
I really can't take this.

Okay.

Look, Angela,
I know you're mad at me,

but I've got an idea.

I'm going to march right
into that Wallace & McQuade

and I'm gonna tell them,
look, it was my fault.

I didn't give you the message.

And don't worry, I'll have them
eating out my hand.

Before long
you'll have your job back,

a better office and a raise.

Tony, it's okay,
I'm not mad at you anymore.

Oh, great, I would have never
got past the receptionist.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Len Pudney, Pudney Pools.
My card.

Huh. Nice touch. Kidney-shaped.

You're the pool man. I forgot
we were building a pool.

Oh. Hey, yeah, uh, listen, pal,

we're sorry you had to come all
the way out here for nothing,

but things have changed
because of circumstances.

You got canned, huh?

TONY:
Oh, oh, hey, hey,

a lady at Mrs. Bower's level
does not get canned.

She got fired.

Can I have my card back? Look me
up when you're not broke.

Hey, bub. She's not broke.
She's nouveau poor.

Yeah and don't you
worry about it.

She's going to find a job.
No problem.

Does that mean
you still want a pool?

No! Well, I mean--
I mean, not right now.

Well, maybe I do. Mr. Pudney,
let me see those plans.

Hey, ho, Angela,
not for nothing,

but people without jobs
don't usually go

building swimming pools.
You wanna bet?

Tony, you just said yourself,
I'm gonna get another job.

I know you will. I don't know
when and I don't think

you should spend 15 grand
while you're looking.

Doesn't anybody have
any faith in me?

I do.

So do I.
And just to prove it, dear.

Hey, Len, throw in a Jacuzzi,
huh?

Hey, Dad, why are we saving
coupons for denture cream?

We don't use that stuff,
do we?

Hardy-har-har. One of us might.

Ah, no, no, no, I'm trading
with old Lady Reilly.

For every denture cream
I give her,

she gives me
two spaghetti sauces.

But you always make your own
spaghetti sauce.

Ah, ah, but not Ms. Goldberg.
See, for every two

spaghetti sauces I give her,
she gives me three oatmeals.

And what do we get
for the oatmeal coupons?

Oatmeal.
I was afraid of that.

Ta-da!

Whoa, look at you.

Angela, look at you.
You look terrific.

All right. You must have a big
meeting set up already, huh?

Not yet,
but if you look successful,

you feel successful and
that's the way to be successful.

Hey, works for me.
Dress for success.

Dad,
if you buy me those new jeans,

I'm sure I could get
better grades.

Throw in a sweater,
and we're talking straight A's.

Well, well, wait a minute.
Why don't I get you

a whole new wardrobe?
You could graduate early,

get a job
and buy your own clothes.

Very funny.
I'll see you later.

Bye-bye.
Bye, sweetheart.

Bye.

So, what are we doing
with that rolodex?

This is not just a rolodex.

This is an intricate network

representing ten years of my
personal and business contacts.

Who will be the lucky person
to hire Angela Bower?

Wow, let's--
Let's spin the wheel

and find out who wins, Vanna.

[LAUGHING]

Oh. And the winner is...

Ed Franklin, Jr., of Franklin,
Franklin, and Franklin.

I wonder how he got his job?

Harvey, remember how many times
you said you wished

you had somebody like me
at the helm of your ship?

[CHUCKLING]

No, no, no, Harvey.

You are woefully misinformed.

I did not sink a six million
dollar account

for Wallace & McQuade.

It was eight million.

Come on, baby. Come on,
momma needs a new swimming pool.

Jack, I wish I'd called
last week too,

but last week I had a job.

Look, Jack, you're the best
headhunter in town.

There must be something for
somebody with my background.

Copywriter? Ha!
With my credentials?

I might as well be a secretary.

Seventeen words a minute.

Hello? Jack?

Jack?

How's it going?

Good prospects. A lot of leads.

I definitely
made some progress.

Nothing, huh?

Zilch. President's jobs
aren't easy to find.

Neither are vice-president's,
director's, manager's.

You've got to know somebody
to be a truck driver.

You mean you called everybody
in the rolodex?

Yeah,
even my hairdresser.

Why would you call her?

She likes me.

Don't worry about this,
Angela.

Come on,
you're gonna find something.

The main thing
is not to panic.

I'm not panicking.

Why would I panic?
My reputation is mud?

Because the market is flooded
with qualified people?

And I misspelled education
on my résumé?

Come on, Angela,
we're gonna get through this.

We?

Well, yeah, we.

We're a family, right?
And families stick together.

Why Tony, that's the nicest
thing I've heard in a long time.

I'm a nice kind of guy.

You feel better?

Much.
Okay.

What am I going to do?

Thank you, Tony.

A good cry always helps.

So does a good shoulder.

I've got another one
if you need it.

No.

[BLOWING NOSE LOUDLY]

I'm so embarrassed.

Ah, don't be.
My nose runs when I cry too.

No, I mean,
I'm not the kind of person

who does this sort of thing
in front of other people.

Ho, hey, I'm not other people.
I'm Tony.

I'm lucky.

Hey, look, uh, I know this
is a tough time, you know,

so I've got an idea. Don't
pay me. At least for awhile.

Oh, Tony.

I could never do that.

Why not?
It's not that much money.

It's a lot of money.
I mean, it's very generous.

Don't worry about me, Tony.

I've got a nice severance

and I've got the savings,

and stocks and C.D.'s,
T-bills, real estate.

Great. Great. Great.
Could I have a raise?

[LAUGHING]

Hi, Mom. Hi, Tony.
Hey!

Mom, guess what?

Grandma took us to Pool Palace
and Pool Kingdom.

Pool Heaven was closed.

Jonathan, if you wear that thing
when my friends come over

I'm letting the air
out of your dinosaur.

Hey, get used to it.

This is my poolside look.

Then I'm letting the air
out of your lungs.

Oh. Come on, Godzilla.

Before you're extinct.
Get out of here.

I brought you something too.

Oh, Mother, candy.
That's very thoughtful,

but I don't want any.

Angela, when you were
depressed as a little girl,

candy always cheered you up.

Well, Mother, life isn't
that simple anymore.

Is that a caramel?

Mm-hm.

Oh, there, doesn't that
make you feel better?

I don't understand it, Mother.
I called everyone I know.

There are no jobs
in advertising.

Well, perhaps you should
consider another field.

You are a very bright
and creative woman.

There are a lot things
that you're good at.

Name one.

Well, nothing comes to mind
at the moment,

but let's talk about it.

I used to be
a personnel counselor.

Mother, I don't need counseling.
That's what they all say.

Here, let me give you
this little test

and we'll see what career
you're best suited for.

All right. Name?

Mother!

Hey, just wanted to loosen
you up a little bit.

Resistant to authority.

Question two. Which of the
following would you rather do?

Climb a mountain
or eat a hot fudge sundae?

Climb a mountain.

Very good, dear.

Compulsive liar.

Three. How many times
in the past year

have you had sexual relations?

What does that have to do
with getting a job?

Nothing. I was just curious.

Tony.
Hey, Mona.

you're just in time.

Here, put this on.
Oh, my God, it's New Year's Eve

and I don't have a date?

Nah, nah, nah,
this is all for Angela.

Any minute she's gonna come
through that door

and say "I got a job!"

She really did just walk
through the door.

And she's gonna say...

Hello.

Hey. And what else?
What else are you gonna say?

I got a job.
TONY: Ah!

Did I tell you?

I don't want to toot
my own horn, but I'm good.

[HONKS HORN]

So, so?
Come on, tell us all about it.

Yeah, yeah, what's the name
of the company

with the talented new president?

Sterling & Simkin.

Sterling & Simkin?
Bigger than Wallace & McQuade?

Much.

But I'm not exactly
the president.

Well, creative vice president,
executive vice president,

what's the difference?
Copywriter.

Copywriter? Now I'm not good
with these corporate titles,

but that sounds
really bad.

It's head copywriter.

Head copywriter? Well,
that sounds really bad too.

Let's face it.
It stinks.

Angela, this job
is way beneath you.

Why would you take it?

Because it's all I could get.

Ah, just the person
I wanted to see.

Now, which shade of blue
do you want for the tile?

We've got Mediterranean Blue,
Pacific Blue, Caribbean Blue,

or the standard Dead Sea Blue.

I don't know,
they're all so blue.

Can't it wait?

Sure, but may I remind you

that you have a large hole
in your backyard

filled with men
paid by the hour.

Hey, Angela, look--

Ah, just the person
I wanted to see.

Which shade of blue
do you want for the tile?

Hey,
this is Angela's department.

I checked with that department,
it appears to be closed.

Take it easy here, Len, she'll
make a decision. Right, Angela?

Whatever you want, Tony.

Good choice. Um...
Hey, look, look,

we'll have to get back to you
on this, Len.

I think we have to match
the drapes. Get out of here.

Angela, what is going on?

I mean, you can't make
a simple decision,

you take a no end,
dead end job.

What's happening to you?

I got fired, remember?

Hey, Angela, that's that's not
the end of the world.

I mean, sometimes these things
work out for the best.

Look at me, I thought
I'd never find anything

better than playing second base
for the Cardinals.

But look at me now.
I'm a housekeeper.

Don't you get it?
If I hadn't, you know,

gotten injured
and signed on here,

I'd have never met you.

Met who? I don't even know
who I am anymore.

Ho, hey. Hey, ho.

You're Angela Bower.
And that's somebody.

Somebody we all care about
and love.

Tony, I haven't made
a smashing success

in many areas of my life.

There's my personal
relationships.

Ah,
what's one little marriage?

And I'm not really great
at running a household.

You hired me, didn't you?

But running an advertising
agency was the one thing

I knew how to do well,
and now it's gone,

and I feel lost.

The Angela Bower I know, she
wouldn't let that be her excuse.

Excuse!
What do want me to do?

Make myself president?
Start my own agency?

Now you're talking.

Don't be naive. You don't just
start your own agency.

Well, why not?
Well, because you-- You...

You need experience.

You've got that.

You need capital.

You'll borrow that.

You need clients.

You can steal them.

[jjj]

No peeking. No peeking.
I feel silly.

And you look ridiculous.

What do you think?

Oh.

Oh, it's so charming.

It's so inviting.

So empty.

This is crazy.
Do you know what it takes

to get an organization like this
off the ground?

Yes, but I'm sure
you'll tell us again.

Come on, Angela, wait a minute.

Use your imagination.

Come here.
Look here, look here.

This is where-- This is where
your office is gonna be here

with your desk and your phone.

And your picture of your mother.

And out here-- Out here is gonna
be your reception area

with the one thing
that every agency needs.

A knockout secretary.

Oh, say no more.

You have just caught me
between jobs.

You would do that.
That is so sweet.

No, no, I don't think
it would work.

I mean,
I would be your employer.

No problem. It'll be fine.

Just don't tell me what to do.

I-I just don't know.

Oh, come on, Angela.
Come on. Look, I'll help.

I'll move furniture.
I'll hang drapes.

I'll dust. I'll buff.

You won't have the biggest
agency in town,

but it'll be the shiniest.

I can see it now.
I can see it now.

Here's the plaque. The plaque.
The little plaque on the door

that says, "The Bower Agency."
Huh?

You like the little plaque?

Oh, maybe not so little.

What do you think?
Hey, check it out in the light.

Hey, hey, look.
Here, hold this.

Mother, take a memo.

Tell Tony to fix that shade.

Yay!
Ah!

[jjj]
