:12:03
Thank God she hasn't learned how to use
the new electric can opener yet.
:12:06
My mother's moving in with us.
:12:09
- What?
- l'm so angry at her.
:12:12
Wait a minute.
Did l miss something?
:12:14
She left her boyfriend.
:12:17
What happened?
l thought she was finally settled.
:12:20
What happened is she's Madame Bovary.
:12:23
She's married to a Park Avenue doctor
and that's too dull for her.
:12:28
Then there's Tom,
the money market maven,
:12:30
and Perry, the travel agent guy.
But, no, she wants more.
:12:34
More? More what?
:12:37
l'm sure she doesn't know.
More fantasies.
:12:41
Her youth back.
:12:44
She wants to ''fulfill her life
before it's too late.''
:12:48
- Those are her words.
- Why is she coming here?
:12:51
She has no money.
She has nowhere else to go.
:12:55
Amanda, we have no room.
There's no room here.
:12:58
l figured we'll put a bed in the office.
:13:01
ln the office, Amanda?
That's where l write.
:13:05
That's where l create.
My whole world is in there.
:13:08
You can create in the living room.
:13:10
ln the...? No, Amanda.
Everything is in there, okay?
:13:15
That's my space.
lt's where l write.
:13:17
All of my rituals
revolve around my space.
:13:21
- l can't...
- She's my mother.
:13:23
- She's not staying in a shelter.
- Why didn't you tell me earlier?
:13:27
- l didn't want to ruin your dinner.
- My anniversary tuna fish sandwich?
:13:31
You're making matters worse, okay?
You're giving me a migraine.
:13:36
[phone rings]
Hello.
:13:38
l'll only be a minute.
When l left you, l ran into Danny Wax.
:13:43
He said the baby-sitter routine
you wrote for him is not working.
:13:49
There are no laughs.
Not one laugh in that routine.
:13:52
People are sitting with stone faces.
:13:55
The routine is fine.
The guy's just in the wrong profession.
