225, little under that. about 215, around there. this is definitely under... it should be 7%.what is this? but what a bonus.i mean, still... still nothing. i mean, i knowit's a lot of money to you,but, i mean... but you don't havemy degrees. this isn't the only placei can work.
right. it's not about whetherit's a lot of money or not, it's about what's fair. jeff, he's always pushingto get as much as he can. (footsteps approaching) hey, jerry. hi, jerry. hey. (door opening) (door closing)
(whispering)well, it's gotta besome kind of mistake. i mean, everyone knowshow important you areto this company. and you're here, like,12 hours a day, at least. you've beentheir number one seller. well, maybe not this year,but not that long ago. the last thingthey would want isto offend you, i am positive. then they need tostart prioritizing peopleover money, because otherwiseyou got a guy like me, who is the bonesof this place,
walkin' aroundfeeling very gypped. very, very gypped. (indistinct chattering) may i ask who's calling? oh, yes,that's extension 3250.i can transfer you. (blues music playing on radio) (both moaning) sit down. oh, babe, i can't.
we're meetin' some vendorsover at scarantino's. oh, lucky! don and i had a huge fightlast night. he started complainingabout my nails. said it looks likei've been trying to crawlmy way out of a well. great. oh. and then i wantedto get a glass of wine, you know,to calm my nerves,
so i went to the fridge,got a bottle out, and i don't knowwhat i was thinking, but i pulled the cork outwith my teeth and chippedmy freakin' front tooth. it looks fine. that's becausei ran to the bathroom and stuck it back onwith krazy glue. can you imaginethe insults if he saw mewith a chipped tooth? i gotta go to a dentist.
(inhaling) every time i do that,i can feel wind up my tooth. and i'm scared totouch it with my tongue, so i'm talkin' likei got a speech impediment. i don't know,i think he makes me insecure. layla, come on,you're so beautiful. and you're sweet and funny.you're a catch. you shouldn't feel insecure.that's crazy talk. i just thinkif we were engaged,i'd mellow out.
it's just,how many times can you keep pointin' outrings in magazinesand crap like that? mmm-hmm. smoked cod tipor the chicken quesadilla? i feel the wind again. don: hey, sexy lady.what's your name? come here.let me check that out. (giggling) (peggy and robin chattering)

bret: well, we're hopingthat the allergiesare under control. he loves it! i just wanna... it seems neurotic, but i just... pier: it's fine, honey. i just doa little sniff test now, because we've got to check for artificial fibers because some of themwill set those allergiesright off. here, here.i want toget a picture with it. god, this thingdrives me crazy.
i want it. okay. lissie, share thatwith your brother. share that with benjy.lissie? pier: (chuckling)she just does not share. as if the whole halloween thing wasn't nightmare enough with benjy's asthma attack... it was crazy. last week we found out
that norali... norali has been doping benjywith benadryl. what? that's awful. we don't have proof. it's so obvious.every time i would come home, she would say,"he slept all afternoon,"or what have you, (babbling) which is weird,'cause with mehe's practically spastic. energetic,very energetic boy.
i mean it in a sweet way. but, uh, one time we came back, it was at night, and he was... he was like comatose. yeah. i mean,he would not wake up.you know, it was... it was terrifying. and she had all these, like,red stains on her shirt. so i went upstairs and i looked in the cabinet, and the benadryl was out, and it was, like, almost gone. gone!
i just went, "oh, my god.oh, my god! "this woman has beendrugging my son!" i can't believe it.that's horrible.i mean, jeez. we were really gonnado something. but, i mean, this womanhas two young childrenof her own. so what are you gonna do? we need to do something! what, throw her in jail? well... hello.
i mean,maybe in some universe,or third world country, sorry, that's, uh, what you dofor a crying baby. but i gotta tell you what,not here. (man chattering on tv) (crickets chirping) (pencil whimpering) do you have to gotee-tee, pencil? come on now, i mean it!mommy's mad! oh, just stay out there.

he got into something.ate something. boy... this might be a good timefor me to... i was gonna waittill closer to christmas, but i think you deservea little boost. i would've liked to give you more, but since it's a percentageof what they give me... you deserve more, but i'm still debatingwhat to do about that.
peggy: i'm just so sad. layla: no, don't cry. (sighs) oh, i have justthe thing for this. it's nothing.just a xanax. you won't even notice,but it'll help calm you down. no, i don't...i don't want that. i know!let's go seea crappy movie. let's go findthe stupidest moviewe can find.
a stupid funny movie, yeah? i know. let's go out tonightand get drunk. let's just get plastered. you need to get laid.when was the last timeyou got laid? oh, it's beena long time, huh? (sobbing continues) bret: ooh, i thinkwe may have a dirty diaper. could you change that, maria, before dinner? thank you. why is aunt peggyhere again?
because she needssome cheering up. oh, honey,could you get me one of thoseserving dishes up top? yeah. yeah. so, two girlsfrom lissie's class were sent home todaywith lice. i had to spend an hour fastidiously combing through poor lissie's hair. thank god, she's clean. yay, lissie!
why does aunt peggy need cheering up? you know what, sweetie? because she's sad,honey. okay? she's sad. why is she sad? because pencil died today. (bret sighing) wow, that's a lot to process. d-e-a-t-h.
it's natural, honey. oh, doesn't knowwhat that means.i'd rather just skip that one. okay, okay. we are gonna get readyfor dinner! wash our hands.we'll be back. peggy... you know what?maybe we should goto san francisco. see my sisterand do some shopping.
that sounds like fun. a little girls' weekend. woman on tv:my husband was concerned because it was $59.95,and that wasn't in the budget. but when i told himi could save $20, twice... hey. so, what happenedwith your dog? he died. oh, nuts! really?
(sighing) i'm so sorry. i had a dogwhen i was younger, and when she died,i was devastated. i was just destroyed by it, so i'm really sorry. it's so weird. i feel likei should do somethin' for you.bring you some food... i'll be okay.
can i take youout to dinner? i mean, not tonight,but another nightwhen you're up for it? maybe thursday? oh, okay. sure. he seemed likea real sweet little dog. take care. peggy, that is great! that is exactlywhat you should be doing. you little vixen!is he hot?
um, no. do not let him take youto some place gross. because if you guysget married, then you'll always rememberyour first date, and you do not want itto be in some stank, beefy,bo burger place. go italian.go to scarantino's. ooh, i am so excited! it might not evenbe a date, layla. i mean,he might just bebeing nice.
no, no! i believe in fate.don't you? i believe thatthere is somebodyon this planet for us all. even retarded cripple peopleget married. you just have to be open. so, hey,maybe your dog died so thatyour love life can live, and you could find, um,what's-his-name. al. al. you could find al. yes. maybe this is all fate.this is all for the best.
i really think so. so i thoughtwe'd go to scarantino's.you ever been there? that's so... um, no,i've never been there,but it sounds great. here, let megive you a hand. (dog barking) let me get your door. buckle up. (italian music playingon stereo)
his name was pencil. 'cause when i got him,he was thin as a penciland, you know, he was brown. sounds really cute. also, he didthe sweetest little thingwith his paw. he would wipe iton the floorback and forth, like he was trying towrite something to me. he had a really unique personality. was he a water dog? not really.
so, you were saying you had a dog who died when you were young? tessie. i loved that dog. i had hersince she was a puppy.we did everything together. she was my right hand bitch. sorry. i mean in a dog wayof being a bitch. yeah, she died way too young.she was only six. how did she die? i shot her in wyoming. you want some more wine?
wait. what do you mean? it was an accident.a hunting accident. i still feel terrible. what were you hunting? huntin' moose. mooses. they gota lot of moose up there.don't worry about it. you ever been hunting? no. it can be a rush.
but, you know,accidents do happen, and, uh, you know, a gunis a very powerful weapon. i learned that the hard way. that's why i neverkeep guns in my house. well, that's good. just knives. that's it. thank you.i had a nice time. so, you ever been married? no. no.
i mean, i was, um... i had boyfriends,but i never, you know. i guess i never... that never happened,but... you know, i think some peoplejust aren't as, you know... um... i don't even knowwhat i'm saying. just, you know,whatever, you know.what are you gonna do? and the whole dating thingis just kind of, yuck,no, thank you, so...
yeah, so that's basicallyhow i feel.just, you know... i don't know. just like that, i guess.but... so you wanna get the tour? al: it can bea real addiction. you know, some peoplespend all kinds of moneytraveling the world just to findsomethin' to shoot that's newand hard to find, you know? like leopards,rare birds and...
and they have tours in africaand asia and india. even endangered species. you know, so you can get onebefore they're all gone. this was a lucky shot. isn't it a beauty? and those are my knives. can i see your garage? my garage? sure.yeah, right through here.
(al chuckles) was this openthe other night? what? this garage door was open,wasn't it, the nightthat pencil got sick? yeah. could be. what are you looking for? do you keep antifreezein here? uh, yeah, i have.
i don't knowif i have any now, but... what about rat poison? uh, no. hmm. no? why? you got a rat problem? are you lookin' for somethin'?can i help you? i like you. what are you doing?don't do that.
what? i was just... stay away from me. don't do that. no, i was just... come on. i gotta go. (sniffing) so, how was your date? he's not my type. well, what is your type?do you have a type?
i kind of havea lot of work to doright now. (phone ringing) hello. man: is this miss spade? yes. hi, miss spade.i'm newt erdrichat the spca l.a. uh-huh. i'm a client services manager. i work in the adoption programto place animals
to prevent themfrom being euthanizedby the city, and i noticedthat you were very upsetabout losing your dog. and my instinct is that you're a very sensitive, caring pet owner, and that is exactly the kind of people that we're looking for. and, well, we have a dog here who needs a home. and this dog, um,valentine is his name, um, has somebehavioral issues, and i just thought that maybe you might fall in love with him. it's a shot in the dark here,
but i'm just desperate because i don't want to see him die. but no pressure. this is king.he's diabetic,unfortunately. aren't you?big goof. and this is myrtle. myrtle! she came inwhen i was first startingat the center. and who's this? that's buttons.
oh, my god. and of course,this is valentine. now, i've kept himin the pen because he still isn'tplaying well with others. easy. i brought him home because,you know, he spoke to me. and that happens sometimes. but i can't keep him 'cause legallyyou're only allowedthree pets.
mmm. animals are like us,they live for love. and if you havetoo many of them, then there's not enough loveto go around, right? valentine, say helloto your new mommy. listen, he's been abused, so you're really gonnahave to work with him. mmm-hmm. but look at his eyes.
there's an old soulin there, i think. i just love himso much already. well, if you need helptraining him, i do that part-timeon the weekends. and my methodsare very positive. it's about reward,it's not about punishment. good boy.you like that... (growling) down, valentine!down, valentine!
down! down! peggy. layla! (squealing) oh, layla! i guess all my whiningpaid off. oh, my gosh! i totally was not prepared. we went to go seethe new spider-man...superman...
no, no, no! spider-man.anyway, it was cute. so then we wentto greenstein's deli.not romantic. and he's actin' all weirdand nervous, and i'm like, "what is goin' on?" and then, bam!he just pulls it out! and i'm not even pregnant! it's kind ofa mellow engagement. that's what don's callin' it. but we'll see.
guess what?i have some good news, too. oh. what, what, what? i got another dog. it's a shelter dog,and his name's valentine. peggy, how are you evergonna find a boyfriend if you keep shackin' upwith dogs? (toilet flushing) do you have any soy milk? i'm sorry, i don't.
(valentine barking) that's okay. it's okay. it's very political. because on the one handyou have the city, and they want toterminate every animalthey get their hands on. yeah, they just havea killing routine. wow. and i know for a fact that they have paper productsstored in those cages.
i could write an expose.it would explode like a bomb. and on the other hand,you have the animal activists, who don't wanna seeeven one animal die. and we comeunder criticism becausewe work with the city, but there are 5,000 kittensthat come through the systemeach year. you can'tsave them all, right? wow. that must beso much pressure for you. and i have nightmares,you know? i had a nightmarelast night
that i was being attacked and raped bytwo bull mastiffs. yeah, but what ami supposed to do?stop caring? oh, no. i mean,you can't stop caring. this is your passion. right. you know. makes sense to me. you're right.
good boy. eyes to me. eyes to me. he knows. and big ups. big ups. no, no, no. he needs to knowhe can't play that part. ...and i was literallyat a loss... valentine. that's good.that's good. you can just sign your name there.
you know, i've always hadbetter relationships with animals than people. mmm-hmm. i can relate. animals aren't petty, for one. they don't backstab you. so what about girlfriendsand that sort of thing? oh, i don't know.that's very complicated. i was raised in a very culty...
hmm. adults being very... no boundaries. i just used to go off by myself... and i always had this connection with animals. and that's why i'm a vegan. people say, "if you couldn't kill it, you shouldn't eat it." and i could never kill an animal. i understand.
(groans in disgust) i'm so excitedto be eating here. there's a couple of things that are really amazing. the seitan sloppy joe. the tempeh blt is good. tofu chop. one of everything. no, not really. (both laughing) i think, um, a veggie pizza.
what? nothing. (dog panting) do you sleep with your dogs? guilty. three dogs? yeah, it gets crowded. king hogs the covers.don't you, king? hmm?
(chuckling) wipe that grin off your face. you know, it's really niceto finally meet someonewho just... i don't know,i think we havea lot in common. and you've reallyopened my eyesto so many different... i think you're great. yeah? yeah. definitely. well, thanks.
and you know what? i'm gonna be a vegan. really? yeah. i mean, after readingall those books,how can i not? absolutely. well, i think that's great. it's been a while since i... i'm just... well, we don't have to do anything. oh. okay.
man: cupcakes! woman: these are diabolical. i just had a croissandwich. peggy: they're vegan. they're what? there's no milk, butter,or any animal product in them. no animal was harmedin the makingof those cupcakes. different. no butter.that's weird.
hey, susan.you gotta try this.it's a vegan cupcake. thank you, but i'm fine. oh, come on,you gotta try it.it's delicious. there. robin:you know what happened,don't you? they put me on the green teamwith greg and paul. two of the oldest guysin this division. i feel likei've been put inwith the dinosaurs. what are you so happy about? you know whati was just thinking, robin?
and you're probablygonna hate this. but you should adopt a dog. what? you need somethingto come home to.a little life in your house. something to love.and i have the perfect dogfor you. it's a maltese-poodle mix.and i havea picture right here. peggy, no.absolutely not. i don't want a dog.get your headin the game here. i don't want a dog.
what are you doing? don't everbring that up again. listen, i can't really talk right now 'cause my boss isgetting a little aggravated. but guess what? i got another one for you. yes, the receptionist wants the dachshund. isn't that great? no, it's fun. i feel great about it. i know,making a difference.
yeah. but listen, i really should go. yeah. i'll call you later. okay. bye. peggy. what's goin' on? well, i'm volunteeringfor this animal shelter and i'm trying to getall these dogs adopted. but robin doesn't want meto be doing it during work, so i'm just tryingto keep it quiet. hey, but now that you and donhave moved in together,
you two should get a dog! i have the sweetest maltese. no, peggy. you have beenrunnin' around here like mary pippin poppinssunshine or something. have you met somebody? what do you mean? come on,don't bat your eyelashesat me! have you met someone?
come here! come here! tell me everything! have you slept together? well, have you kissed? you made out? well, kind of. peggy, you really like him,don't you? he's a really nice person. this is so exciting!look at you! i am liking this a lot.
(in a singsong voice) peggy's got a man. peggy's got a man. babe! we don't have this one. (chuckling)no, we don't. there's pretty dramatic stuff in that one. she's so sensitive. but you know what? maybe. why not, huh?i think so. do you wanna say thank you to aunt peggy? thank you, aunt peggy. you're welcome, sweetie.
i'm gonna go watch it! i feel so sorry for her. she has missed so much schoolbecause of the lice. she keeps getting re-exposed because they can't coordinate with the parents. the kids need to get delousedon the same one day. we've been saying thisfrom the beginning. there's no leadership. it's kind of tearingthe first grade class apart.
the class? the community! there's a no nit policy! it's a total meltdown. but enough about that. you're so sweet. you always bring presents for the kids. yeah. you really do. you know, i was thinking,for christmas, maybe a dog. yeah... i don't thinkthat's such a good idea. benjy's still a little too young.
well, we had a dogwhen we were little, pier.little tippy. yeah... you know, even a small dog, 'cause i thought, you know, a hypoallergenic dog, maybe a toy poodle, but, ooh, one bite for benjy and that's his entire finger. we just have enoughgoing on over here as it is. oh, hey, stay for dinner! you know, maria made pasta with spicy sausage. (pier exclaims)
you know what, that's okay.i'm a vegan now so... actually,there are so many thingsthat i can't eat. is that healthy, peggy? oh, yeah, it's very healthy. actually, most people do itfor health reasons, but i'm doing itfor animal reasons. the corporate farmingin america is awful.i read a book about it. oh, peggy,you can buy free range,did you not know that? and organic.
yeah, but it's still,you know, murder. well, it'll be interestingto see how long that lasts. yep. vegan. it's nice to have a wordthat can describe you. i've never had that before. come on, valentine! he knows. up! good boy. hey, how's it going?
hi. so, that dog cansure bark, huh? it's good to get him accustomed to being in the park and seeing other dogs before we take him off the leash. but you have to watch, because sometimes they get more aggressive when they're on the leash. hey, newt. i like you, too. yeah, but...
do you know what i mean?like in... peggy, um... i'm not able to be in a relationship. i mean, with a woman. or a man. either, really. i don't understand.you like men? i'm celibate, basically,anyway, so that'sbeside the point. but...
i hope i haven't misled you. (barking) whoa! cody! come here! newt: valentine! get down! valentine! no! no! get down!
valentine! (barking continues) i'm sorry. get him away! i'm sorry, ma'am. i'm so sorry. crazy. valentine, no! no! come on! what are you doing? newt: you know,i really do like you.
if you wanna find someone elseto train valentine, i totally understand. but he really needssomeone that will buildon my approach. i've always been disappointed by people. so... i've really only been able to count on my pets. i know it's pathetic, but... hey, it's not pathetic. but it's enough.
it was enough last monthand last week, and it'll be enoughnext week. because of you, i've really been able to acknowledge that part of my life in a deeper way, so... so thank you. and this just, you know, confirms what i already know, so... valentine. come on.
(car door closing) layla:christmas is gonna be nuts. oh, and i knowyou're gonna be bummed, but don didn't gofor the dog idea. he said it just didn't fitinto our lifestyle. sorry. so how's the guyyou're seeing? i don't wanna talk about it. why? what happened? (keyboard clacking)
that was a good meeting. i mean, i know it'sthe meeting thatyou wanted to have, and everything's clear now. greg, would you get vince and bob in here? i wanna do a post-mortemto make sure we're onthe same page. okay. vince and bob. robin, hi. first of all,i'm on my lunch break,so this is my time. i am not on the clock.
i've been doingsome research, and i've discoveredthis science lab in maryland that's doing animal testing.it's evil. so i am collecting signaturesfor peta to protest. you gotta be kidding. would you sign it, please? how do you thinkwe've made allthe medical breakthroughs that we've made? that's how you figure stuff out, peggy.
you test it on animalsso people can live. what they're doing is torture. people don't test stuffon animals for fun. they do it for a reason,for science, and to help save lives. and this isn't the forumfor politicalsignature gathering, okay? this is a business. not in the office! sorry.
i mean, come on. (inaudible) what are we talking,like spring,summer, fall? don! what? we're not thinkin'anything, babe. we just got engaged. relax. we're young.what's the rush? it's not likewe're 40, right? anyway, i gotta go pee.
so, layla says you don'twant to get a dog. doesn't fitinto your lifestyle. i'm never home. i think you shouldget a dog. yeah? it teaches responsibility. well, maybe i don'twant to be responsible. might keep youout of trouble. yeah? how's that?
i don't know.you're getting married. you could, you know,go home and walkthe dog instead of... i don't know,going to the malland meeting other women, at victoria's secret, say? that line was too long. i'll just go later. peggy, get a sorbet or something. it's christmas. and don and i are paying. i'm okay. (robin chattering)
layla: peggy. oh, my god, you scared me. guess what?don and i got to talkingafter lunch, and we've come aroundon the whole dog thing. so when we get backfrom our trip,we're gonna take one. a small one. are you happy? oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.very much so. see, we're nesting already.
oh, it's great. (snarling) ow! (groaning) get out! out! (wincing) (woman chattering on tv) hi. oh. look, i have a friend over,
and we're tryingto watch a dvdand your dog is... do you think you couldget him to quiet down? you know what?i don't know. well, do you thinkyou could at leastbring him inside? he's right under my window. well, maybe you shouldn'thave poisoned pencil. who? my other dog. the one that diedin your yard
after you left outwhatever it washe got into that killed him. look, i did notpoison your dog! well, he was poisoned. toxic poisoning,that's what the vet said. well, that's not my problem. well, now it is. what is your deal? (scoffs) ooh.
it's a shawl. i like it.thank you, bret. it's from me, too. oh, thank you, pier. it's so pretty. and i got something really neat for all of you. oh, thank you. there's one for everybody. that's for you.pier, you can open benjy's.
benjy! peggy: i found this really great place online. it's an animal sanctuary for discarded farm animals. so i sponsoreddifferent animalsfor each of you. and they actually namethe animals after you. they named a chicken lissieafter you, lissie. lissie: they did? peggy: yeah. isn't that neat? she was rescuedfrom a slaughterhouse.
and now she'sa very happy chicken becauseyou're sponsoring her. when do i get her? well, you don't. but she's livinga very nice lifethanks to you. but i want her here. well, you could go visit her. she's only an hour away. that would be fun, wouldn't it? to go visit your chicken?
that'll be fun. you named chickens after us? well, there's actuallya pig named after you. (laughing) pier: a pig. that's good.that's good. i know it seems funny,but it's a reallyamazing organization. i'm sure it is. but it's not a joke. it's really sweet, peggy.
(both chuckling) pier, stop it! and what kind of animal is bret? oh, yeah. a cow. (laughter continues) bret: stop it! robin heaton's office. yes, may i tell himwho's calling?
mr. heaton is in a meeting in another city, actually. but i know he really admiresyour organization, which is why he made the donation, obviously. right. yes. but he is a very private person, and i don't think he wants to be on any mailing lists. yes, anything you wanna send, you can send to me, okay? i'm his assistant,peggy. right. peggy.
who was that? that was just someone,you know, asking about... how was your christmas? fine. asking about what? what did you do? caught up on some stuff. please tell meyou took the day off.
well... you know,i should've brought youwith me to my brother's. i can't find the numberfor long, green & tessler. can you bring metheir file, too? oh, look at the puppy!i just love you! i just love you! (exclaiming) so cute! (rap music playing on stereo)
christmas was great.don's family loves me. at least that's what he said. they kept talkin' aboutall the girlfriendshe had in high school, which really startedto piss me off. it's like,"do you have to go there?" and, evidently, he's still in touchwith someof these girlfriends. and i am not downwith that at all. i just don't wanna come offlike a paranoid nag too soon.
(whimpers) oh! peggy! he just peed on me! this is my favoritesweat suit! dang it! go on. thank you so much for doing this. i really appreciate it. i hate leaving him, but my brother doesn't allow dogs in his house, so... one of those, huh?
i think i need toalter my approachwith valentine. maybe more firmer. okay. but you won'tkeep him in the penthe whole time though, right? no. no, no.it's just till he acclimates. good. okay. and, um, maybei can take you out for dinnerafter as a thank you? oh, please,it's not necessary. no, i know,but i wouldreally like to. okay. good.that'd be great.

it's just another momentin its life, but you know it's its last,its last moment. and you're gonna take it. al: yeah, so then she started to hang outwith that girl lindaand kimmy. you know, the one withthat thing in her lip. oh, yeah, that piercing. and they just had herpartying like crazy. bad news.
