Ashley?

Ash, you up?

You home?

You here?

Marco...

It's 7 a. m.
Where are you?

I miss your face.

I was hoping you'd
make it home last night

or at least before I left.

Don't rush back to work
without eating anything.

I left you out juice and toast.

I'm not sure how much
juice is left.

And I hope the toast
is still good.

Does toast keep?

I hate this!
I need you in my life, Mike.

I need you next to me.
I need you to open that jar on the counter.

Thank you!
You are so strong.

I love you, my little Hercules!

O.k. I want the notes from
last night's session.

I want an intravenous line
dripping coffee into my left arm.

And I want the jaws of life
to get this damn jar open!

Thank you.

Hey, hey.
What are you doing?

You can't throw that out.
There's a garbage strike going on.

It's the core.

That's food.
That's good for you.

That's fiber. Eat it.

Go. Eat.

You didn't get much sleep
at all last night, did you?

I got about 10 minutes.
Party went around the clock again.

You gonna be o. k.?

Oh, yeah. I get 8, 9 minutes,
I'm good for the whole day.

Good morning, good morning.

Tell us we're almost
there, Mike.

Tell us this strike
nightmare is almost over.

I wish I could.

I had to cancel
3 dates this week.

I moved into a new apartment
with my girlfriend.

We haven't spent one
night there together.

You always have to win,
don't you?

Yes, I do.

Fine. You're more pathetic than me.
You happy?

Yes, I am.

This strike, it's gotta end.

I'm going to press conferences,
I got nothing to say!

I'm shootin' blanks!

I'm doing impressions just to
keep the reporters in the room.

Try to stay positive, Paul.

We've already been positive.

We've been hopeful,
optimistic, upbeat,

hopefully upbeat,
optimistically hopeful.

We-I-I-

Paul, Paul, Paul.

We're unbelievably bored.

All right, people.
Try and stay with me.

We gotta move
quickly. Mine.

I'll be at the bargaining
table all day.

I can't afford to let
any other balls drop.

So, Carter, first you.
Minority affairs.

You've only been
on the job a few days.

I assume you're still
settling in.

I've spoken with
the minority task force.

Just an opportunity
to open up dialogue.

I have the hispanic society and the
asian american federation tomorrow.

Logistically,
the naacp is a hassle,

because they have 27 locations
in Manhattan alone,

so I'm proposing
a meet and greet breakfast,

maybe have the mayor
do a drop-by.

That's excellent.

All right.
Who's next? James.

Uh, do I have to
go after Carter?

I mean, I'm writing
the mayor's speech

to the city college administrators,
but I only started 2 minutes ago.

Give us what you got.

I have, uh, "good morning,
city college administrators. "

Well, I mean, the rest
really writes itself.

O.k.

Bitchin'.
I am outta here.

Stewart, you're in charge
while I'm gone, all right?

No problem.
I'll cover for you.

No, you don't understand.
I'll be thinking about the strike all day.

I need you to be
deputy mayor-me.

Well, if it's o. k.
, I'd like to set the bar a little higher.

Knock yourself out, stew.

At last, my time has come.

Hey, Stewart.

Get your ass outta my office.

Sorry, Mike.

Still here, huh?

Yep. Just counting
the seconds

until we are officially late
for the bargaining table.

And there it is.
We're official.

Can I buy you a drink?

We'll celebrate.

That's all right.
I don't feel that festive.

Missing your girlfriend
a little?

I'm trying to remember
what she looks like.

I saw her this morning.
Very attractive woman.

You know, if you're into
that sort of thing.

I am.

You two just moved in
together. Big step.

Yeah, but we've been serious
for such a long time,

I don't think it's gonna
be all that different.

Ha ha.
You're lying.

Yeah, I am.
Sounded good, though, right?

That's a tough road.
I lived with a guy for 21/2 years.

If you don't mind
me asking-

it's exactly the same.

Really?

Except we get to skip

the whole toilet seat
argument thing.

Well, there's a perk.

You know it.
Up, down. Who cares?

Tell me you don't have to
listen to "how's my outfit"

and I'm switching sides.

Naw, we got that, too.

It's no different.

What happened?
You and, uh...

Spence. He moved out.

I was always
too busy with work.

Never had time for him.

Well, that's good.

We're not exactly
Christopher Columbus

exploring new lands here.

It's been the same deal
for the last 5 mayors.

8.29% over the next
36 months.

And we're adding
a dollar a week

to each worker's
severance package

retroactive to last December,

plus a dollar increase
starting next December.

Why is that pen
not in your hand?

8.29
is not gonna do it.

We want 8.3.

8.29, 8.3.
What is the difference?

It's-it's tiny.
It's minuscule.

It's like this.

Then give it to us.

Not a chance.

We also want 100 new trucks,

2 more sick days, and badges.

Badges.

Uh, may-may I
ask why?

We don't want people

passing themselves off
as sanitation workers.

Oh, yeah.
That happens a lot.

8.3. Think about it.

8.29. Learn to love it.

Gentlemen, we're all working
towards the same goal here.

We consider ourselves in partnership
with the municipal unions.

But I think this is
a fair offer,

and I urge you to consider it.

We're gonna take 5.

Just 5.

Why not 5.1?

How great was that?

When they came back in,
we were all over 'em.

We offered, they countered.

They offered, we countered.

I think we even countered
our own offer.

That one
confused them. Yes.

Sir, this strike is over.

Forget about it. Turn out the lights.
The party is over.

They are caving.
Watch this.

See this?

I can do that, 'cause
that's just garbage,

and that is gonna get
picked up tomorrow.

I was eating that.

But you see my point,
though, sir.

This thing is in the bag!

Mike, I-I need you to
stop bouncing up and down.

You're making me carsick.

Oh. Sorry, sir.
I haven't slept in a few days.

Mmm.

I got a lot of sexual tension going,

about 100 gallons of coffee
running through my system.

I mean, I'm feeling a little
nervous energy right now.

Bring it down a couple
of notches, Mike.

This is down
a couple of notches.

Listen up.

Does anybody know

what this is?

It's the circle of influence.

James!

You've read 7 habits of
highly effective people.

No. You Drew a circle and you wrote
"circle of influence" in it.

So nobody's read this book.

Well, look at ya.
Course you haven't.

What we need to do

is expand this circle.

Stew, we're real busy.

Busy, yes.

Effective? No.

But it's not your fault.

You see, Mike
is just a manager.

I, on the other hand,
am a leader.

Are you paying attention?

I'm over here in the circle
of "you gotta be kidding me. "

All right. Excellent.

I worried you all
might be working.

Help, Mike.
Stewart's scaring us.

O.k. Fake Boss out.
Real Boss in.

Everybody huddle up.

All right, Nicky,

I want you to go short.
Get on the phone.

I want your best estimate of what
the union's next offer will be.

James, square out to your desk.

I want a speech, o. k.?

This thing could happen
at any minute.

I want the mayor ready to talk.

Carter... throw in the bomb!

Second floor.
Concerned citizen's group.

Find out what they want
and make 'em happy.

Basic schmooze and snooze.

Put me in, Mike.

Paulie...
You're my blockin' back.

Go right up the middle
to the press room.

You got it, coach!

All right, lassiter.
Lassiter!

Everybody in!

And...

Break! Break!
Break!

People. Ple-people,

I'm not gonna continue

until it's quiet
and everyone is seated.

I have some pertinent
information about the strike

that I think you'll all
be interested in.

All right.

The mayor's office
can finally say

with 100% certainty,

that we are extremely...

Hopetimistic...

About the possibility

of-of the strike p-

wait-wait-please! Hey!
Please, people!

So you feel comfortable conceding
on these minor points?

It's smart bargaining.

Hey, cutie!

Hey, miss schaeffer.

Catch up to me later, Mike.

Yes, sir.

So how's my favorite
reporter doing?

I have some very, very
personal questions for you.

You know me.
I always have time for the press.

come back, please.
This is unprofessional.

Mike, can you give us
a definitive time

when the strike will be over?

Guys, I can't comment
on any of this.

We're in negotiations.
You know that.

Just one more question.

I gotta go. My schedule may
open up later tonight, though.

You think so,
mr. Flaherty?

I really do.

that's enough!
Hey, you had your chance to listen.

James. Speech.

I think you're gonna like it.

Nicky. Numbers.

On your desk.

Carter, concerned citizens.

Schmoozed and snoozin'.

Stewart, budget report.

No.

Did you call the governor's
office with that strike update?

Not yet.

Did you sign these?

I was gonna read 'em first.

There's 700 pages of legal documents here.
It'll take you 8, 9 months.

Oh.

So basically
you've done nothing.

Mike, that's all busywork.

I can do that in 15 minutes.

I did do something, however,
that will make you smile.

Let me have it.

I set up the mayor
for ribbon cutting

at the opening
of waterside park.

No, you didn't.

I did.

Oh, Stewart!

That park is being used

as an alternate dump site.

It's filled with garbage!

Uh-huh.

I believe the word you're
looking for is... Oops!

hi, honey.
It's your dad.

Just trying to get
your attention.

Hopefully you're holding some
flowers and some chinese food.

Either that,
or you have no food,

and I just sent a dozen
roses to the hunan kitchen.

Anyway, same old story.

Lonely deputy mayor seeks quiet night
at home with wonderful girlfriend,

but will have to settle
for a night in a small room

with sweaty garbage men.

There will be dancing.

I really miss you...

A lot.

Hi. I saw your ad.

You handle waste disposal?

Great. 'Cause I had
a little barbecue in a park,

and things got kinda
out of hand,

and I have some trash
that I need cleared.

A little over a ton.

Hello?

Sorry, guys.
That's it for my list.

You're telling me
that no one in this city

will pick up that garbage?

Apparently, that's the
whole concept of a strike.

Well, thank you, new guy.

O.k. For the enemy
to pass?

Hi.
Hi.

He hasn't come in yet.

Would you do me a favor?

I got him a clean
shirt, his vitamins,

and a couple of swatches of
wallpaper for the bathroom.

I take it the hockey
pattern was his idea.

I'm humoring him.

Gotcha.

See you later.

Bye.
Bye.

Hey, James.
Give Paul his present.

Paul, I got something for you.

Oh, yeah? What?

It's a thesaurus.

A thesaurus!

Jeez, I haven't seen one of
these since I was a kid.

Really? Look up
optimistic, Paul.

Optimistic.

Oh, my God!

Oh! This is great!

Oh, gee! I'm "expectant,

"brilliant, happy-go-lucky,

ebullient. "
I can't believe it!

Ah, light off.

Didn't know you were here.
You just missed Ashley.

She was here?

Yeah. She had to
run, though.

She brought you some stuff.

Oh, wow. She is
amazing, isn't she?

Oh, cool wallpaper!

I'm gonna head out,
try and figure out

how to clean this park.

No luck yet?

Nada.

You know what's weird?

She works in this building.

I walk the halls all day.
I never get to see her.

But I can sense her presence...

All around me.

That was so beautiful.

I have never heard anything that
romantic in my entire life.

Really?

Really never.

Like never never?

Don't rub it in, Mike.

God, what a beautiful park.

Look at the Hudson.
All the money spent to clean it up.

You could stick a cup in,
pull it out, drink it down.

I'll take your word
for that, sir.

Yes. So the park is
full of garbage.

Yes. Union picketers
are out in force.

Yes.
Basically it's an ambush.

I suppose you have a plan
for dealing with it.

You'd like me to say yes,
w- wouldn't you, sir?

Well...

Dead man walking.

Parks are not only important

for what they bring
to the community.

They are invaluable in the
development of our children...

And our children's children.

You gotta watch
closely, Stewart.

Have a seat.
O.k., see?

O.k. There it is.
The breeze just shifted...

And he's getting his first
whiff of all that garbage.

I remember the pa...

Park...

In the neighborhood
that I grew up.

O.k. See?
Now his eyes are tearing up.

I'm getting a little Dizzy.

I can't seem to focu-

right there. There he goes.
Down on his knees.

And what does he do when
he's down on his knees?

you should see channel 4.

They're running it
in slow motion.

That was disgusting.

I don't think we need to
hear from you, James.

Stewart, if I were you, I
wouldn't be giving James lip.

I'd be working on my resume.

Sorry, Mike.

I tried to do the best I could.

Oh, what?

Oh, w-what do you
want from me, huh?

I'm-I'm killing myself
trying to fix this thing,

I haven't seen
my girlfriend in days,

and-and I'm supposed to,
what, feel guilty?

Pff!

Maybe I should
go and talk to him.

Hello.

Hey.

Wait a minute.
I- I know you.

Don't tell me.
God, this is embarrassing.

Uh... oh, that's right.

We live together.

That's a vicious rumor.
Unconfirmed.

No one has ever seen
us in the same place.

Well, on the plus side,

this whole commitment thing

turned out to be a lot
easier than we expected.

Yeah.
We're doing great.

I mean, if we keep this up

when we're still
spending time together,

we have ourselves
a relationship.

Look at me looking at you,

face-to-face,
finally.

I don't even know what to say.

Yeah. I made a list.
Um...

We need toothpaste.

We're out of detergent.

For some reason, you brought
the jam to the office.

Let me just skip
to the important stuff.

I love you.

Some tv guys
just pulled up outside.

Something going on?

Mike, the mayor's office.
Now.

I guess so. So...

Yeah, um...

Yeah.

I think it's a good
proposal, sir.

We're getting almost
everything we need.

They get almost
everything they want.

Yeah, but, I think
we can live with it,

because we held firm
on the precedents.

We didn't let them
go to 8.3.

8.29... 999, Mike.

Yeah, but it's not
8.3.,

and I think we can
hang our hats on that.

Is there a statement ready?

Right here.

"So that's why, for the
sake of this city,

"for the save of
this union, we've-

"put aside our differences

and reached a fair,
satisfactory agree-"

ment.

Good.

Uh, sir, if it's, uh,
all right with you,

I'm gonna bow out on this one.

Are you sure?
This is the good part, Mike.

Mr. Mayor,
you better get in here.

The press is gonna
tear me apart.

Ah, they're excited, huh?

Oh, they're... ebullient!

They're zealous,
they're impassioned!

They're ardent!

Can't believe you're
passing this up.

Oh, yeah, listen, stew.

You go in instead of me,

in case the mayor
needs any help.

You trust me?

You're the right guy.

You want a hug or something?

Really don't.

Ashley?

Ash.

hey, honey. It's me.

Pick up if you're there.

Listen, I thought
I saw something

in the way you looked
at me today, and I-

listen, I'm just
going to come home.

Anyway, I'll be there
in a few minutes,

and hopefully, you will, too.

Hello.

hey!

oh...

so...

Do you want to sit here where
we're going to have the couch

or over here where
the love seat's gonna go?

Uh...

The love seat.
I'm no fool.

So were you busy
solving the strike,

or did you miss me?

You have no idea how much I miss you.

Aw!

Mike, come down
if you can.

The deal is sealed.
We're celebrating.

You should be here!
You deserve it!

I love you, man!

He's right.

You should go.
You deserve it.

What about you?

This is a huge story.
You've been chasing it all week.

You should go down there, too.

So...

How was your day?

what time is it?

6:15.

Wow, they're really loud.

Yeah.

Beautiful, isn't it?

sit, ubu, sit. Good dog.
