(vanessa) the elevate contest is projecting bike sales

To triple from last quarter.

It's a huge hit.

(leah) great. Now we just have to worry about next quarter.

Before we worry about that.

(leah) you mean, like we all take a vacation?

(vanessa) something like that.

(leah) tell that to the stockholders.

No way.

Oh, I edited the copy for the new ad.

How soon can we make the changes and get it posted?

(vanessa) I'll get the team on it now

And make sure it gets it up by this afternoon.

No. We should reschedule that.

-Uh, which? -Tom.

(vanessa) I do, but before you hired me

To run your company,

Which I do spectacularly, I might add,

I was your best friend.

Which I still am,

And I want you to be happy.

-Vanessa, I am buried with work. -I don't care.

Look, I'm not about to let you lose another man,

Particularly one this great,

'cause you're not making time in your life to be happy.

-There's just too much to do. -Which is why you have me.

And I have no life.

And you have rachel, who doesn't have one either.

Either you go out with tom tonight

Or I'm calling him up and inviting him to my place

You wanna go back to jail?

That's why at mind body fitness,

You bring the gym to me.

Am I ready to change my life?

You bet, you bet I am,

Because I can have it all.

I deserve to have it all.

What's our motto?
