:18:01
- We can't cancel.
- It's okay.
:18:02
- Mary Lou can handle it.
- She's not who he expects to see.
:18:06
You're the point person.
You told me you'd handle it.
:18:09
I did, but my child wasn't sick
when I promised you...
:18:12
Not my fault you can't find a sitter.
:18:14
Okay, I can come in for one hour.
That is it.
:18:18
If Alex beeps me, I'm gone
and you can fire me.
:18:21
Karen...
:18:22
Charlie, you're making me choose
between making a house payment...
:18:27
...and taking care of my sick child
and I don't appreciate it.
:18:32
Jerk.
:18:37
You tell Charlie I'm desperately ill?
:18:40
Thank you, Alex.
:18:43
Yes, he knows you're sick.
:18:45
What about the Family Leave Act?
:18:48
I just have to go in...
:18:49
...sign some papers and show my face.
:18:52
I'll be gone an hour at the very most.
:18:55
I called Mrs. Hess and...
:18:57
You called Mrs. Hess?
She knows I'll be alone?
:19:00
She said if anything comes up,
she'll be right over.
:19:03
- She wasn't happy about it...
- She'll come over and make me smoke.
:19:08
- Don't be ridiculous.
- What if there's a tornado?
:19:11
Not in winter.
:19:12
- Social unrest?
- I don't think so.
:19:15
Boredom? It's deadly in old folks.
:19:17
Goodbye, sweetie.
:19:21
What about crooks?
:19:25
That's not a problem during the day.
:19:28
Why not?
No one's home during the day.
:19:30
I'm 8 and I figured that out.
:19:32
Couldn't a grown-up crook
figure it out too?
:19:36
This is a very safe neighborhood.
There's only one road in and out.
:19:40
The doors'll be locked,
you have my numbers.
:19:43
- I'll be home soon.
- But, Mom!
:19:45
What about dragons, giant spiders,
mummies, the living dead...
:19:49
...and other figments
of my imagination?
:19:51
Alex, I can't help you there.
:19:54
Only you can control your imagination.
:19:59
That's a scary thought.
