Bye
Hey, Annie!
Where do I go now?
Big Ed's
Big Ed's Tires?
Why?
Because you work there
I sell tires?
That's what I do
I'm a tire salesman
Good Lord
Morning, Jack
Jack, my boy
Guess who I played bridge with two nights ago
You'll never guess One Sydney Potter
That's Sydney Potter CEO of BuyRite Transport!
Only the third biggest trucking outfit in the state
Anywho, he's looking for a new parts supplier
We can handle volume like that can't we?
I'll have to get back to you on that
Right on
Excuse me
Do I have a private office somewhere in the building?
Yeah, sure, Jack
Where is it?
It's right back there
Oh no
You must have needed this every day
What are you smiling about?
1 988?
I was in London in 1 988
You never went to London
Jack
you're needed in mag wheels customer waiting
I was the number one junior sales associate for E.F. Hutton in 1 988
Did you know that?
No, I didn't. That's great
You could really build on that
I mean, sales has always been a feeder for M and A. Anyway
Well, here we are
Mag wheels. There it is
Hey, Jack... are you sure you're okay?
I'm just a little confused about why I work here
I just started here last Tuesday
The closing tick was a mildly bullish + 76
Today's action was fueled by the latest round of merger mania
when Global Health Systems and MedTech Pharmaceutical
announced their intentions to join forces
in a massive $1 22 billion stock swap deal
The largest ever in the health care industry
When asked about anti-competitive implications
Global CEO Bob Thomas referred reporters
to P.L. Lassiter & Co. President Alan Mintz
the architect of the deal
That's my deal
Mintz first met Thomas at a Lamaze class
While coaching their wives they struck up a dialogue
and two months later the deal was born
He wasn't the architect! I'm the architect!
The kids are asleep
The kids, hon. Honey
Sweetheart
I said the kids are asleep
Well, that's great. Those little monkeys can be a real handful
Hey, I was watching that
Not tonight
Please leave my socks alone
You want me
That is the general idea
Maybe we should grab a bottle of wine first. Kind of break the ice
That's very funny Jack, it's 1 0: 30
By 1 1 :00 you'll be snoring like a monster
but that's very sweet
You remember that for next time
Whatever you say, honey
Oh, God, you're beautiful
Thanks, Jack
No, I'm serious
You're really stunning
This is good stuff. Keep it up
I mean, you were always a pretty girl in college, no question
But this...
You've really grown into a beautiful woman
How can you do that?
What?
Look at me like you haven't seen me every day for the last 1 3 years
Okay, wait, don't move
Don't move
Stay right there
I got something
Good night, sweetheart
Okay, we're almost out of here
Mary Janes, Mom! You promised!
That's right, I did promise
Okay, we're going to the kids' shoe department
then we'll pick up my watch from the battery store
then go to the linen store
Let's got to all the stores
Every store in this godforsaken shopping mall!
Wouldn't that be exciting?
You know what? Why don't I take the kids
and you hang out here in the men's department
Come on, hon
It's perfect for your frame
Why don't you try it on?
Maybe take an inch out of the back
Lengthen the sleeve
You look amazing in that suit
I mean, really wow, off-the-charts great
It's an unbelievable thing
Wearing this suit actually makes me feel like a better person
I'll by it
It's 2,400 dollars!
Are you out of your mind?
Come on, let's go
She got those shoes
Those shoes were $25
Come on, take it off
We'll go to the food court and get you a funnel cake
Your daddy's a crazy guy
No
Do you have any idea what my life is like?
Excuse me?
I wake up in the morning covered in dog saliva
I drop the kids off
Spend eight hours selling tires retail
Retail, Kate
I pick the kids up, walk the dog
which, by the way carries the added bonus
of carting away her monstrous crap
I play with the kids take out the garbage
get six hours of sleep if I'm lucky
then everything starts all over again
So what's in it for me?
Where are my Mary Janes?
It's sad to hear you're so disappointed with your life
I can't believe it doesn't disappoint you
Jesus, Kate
I could have been a thousand times the man I became
I could have been one of the richest...
How could you do this to me?
How could you let me give up my dreams like this?
Really, I want to know
Who are you?
All right, look, I'm sorry
I'm sorry I was such a saint before
and I'm such a prick now
But maybe I'm just not the same guy that I was when we got married
Maybe you're not
Because the Jack Campbell I married
would not need a $2,400 suit
to feel better about his life
But if that's what it takes then buy it
Jesus! We'll take the money out of the kid's college fund
Forget it
We'll get a funnel cake
It'll be the highlight of my week
I'm sorry about that back in the store
I don't want to fight with you
I just sometimes wonder how we ended up here, you know?
I mean, back in college did you see us here?
Life has thrown us a few surprises, I know
It really has, hasn't it?
If you had to, what would you say was the biggest surprise?
I'm just curious
Annie, for me
Surprise, we're pregnant
Yeah, that must have been I mean, it was
It was a very unexpected moment
But what are you going to do?
I think it turned out all right don't you?
Yeah, I really like Annie
Good, maybe we'll keep her
No, I love Annie
I'm just...
We had a lot of good times, huh?
Remember that place on Charles Street we used to go to?
Charles Street?
What, in the Village?
When we lived in Greenwich Village
Yeah
Yeah, great times. Great place
Why did we ever leave?
You can't raise a kid in an apartment in the Village
And then there was that trek out to that hospital
You were great
But surviving the heart attack was one thing...
You had a heart attack?
Jack, stop that I'm still mad at you
Who knows what would have happened
if you hadn't stepped in at the store?
That's why I work for Big Ed?
That's why I work for Big Ed
Yeah
So we had a baby Big Ed had a heart attack
we bought that house and since then I've worked for him
Sayonara, Wall Street
My life in a nutshell
If you want to look at it that way
How would you look at it?
A great success story
Come on, Jack
Jack, we need a strike
Damn!
Jesus, what are you doing?
It's a league match
Where's your follow-through? Your stance?
You know what? I'm doing the best I can
Sorry Why am I always so competitive?
You can still pick up that spare
Crack 'em, Jack
You're Jack Campbell
You're better than this sport
You shot the rapids at Kenai
You ran with bulls at Pamplona
You skydived over the Mojave Desert, for Christ's sake
You can do this
Victorious
All right! High-five
You're up
Get 'em!
Hi, Jack
Evelyn, right?
Very funny, Jack
I saw you out in lane 20
You got the flu or something?
Something like that
Need a nurse?
Are you a nurse?
If that's what you want
Wait
Don't run away
Are we...?
Are we what, Jack?
Well...is there something going on between us?
Are we...
finally being honest?
It would help me if we were
You're right. We've been dancing around this for years
Well, here goes
When I know you're going to be at a party
lets just say I don't go strapless because my husband likes it
I've got six sets of snow tires piled up in my garage
and I won't even drive in the snow
And our kids just...
happen to be in the same ballet class every year
So if you're asking me whether I'd like it to be more
the answer is yes
Kate would never have to know
Do I have your number?
Steve's out of town with the kids this week
Why don't you just stop by?
Hey, Jack, you're all flush
I feel good
Guess that 7 1 took a lot of you
No
I just saw Evelyn Thompson
She's relentless
She wants to have an affair with me
She said that?
Pretty much
What is it about you?
So if you would write her exact address down there...
Whoa, hold on a second
You're going to cheat on Kate?
Well, it wouldn't really be cheating, Arnie
It's complicated
Maybe I haven't been as good a consigliore as you've been to me
but hear me out
Flirtation is harmless
but you're dealing with fire here
The Fidelity Bank and Trust is a tough creditor
Make a deposit somewhere else and they close your account
forever. All right?
I don't want your head to explode
but those rules don't apply to me
Come on, I'm not even...
I'm not talking about rules Jack, I'm talking about...
I mean, you...
There isn't a guy in Union County
who wouldn't give his left nut to be with Kate
She's amazing and you're going to fuck it up
Just think about that, all right?
Hey, honey
How was the game?
Long and boring and generally sad
Arnie seemed to enjoy it
Sort of
Where's that chocolate cake?
Do you mean this chocolate cake?
That's mine I was saving it because...
that pre-cooked mini-mall rotisserie chicken nauseated me
It's good
Give me that cake
No way
Come on
I'm sorry It's too important to me
I want that cake!
You want this cake?
I want it
Thank you
It's good, right?
Are the kids asleep?
Say it to me, Jack
What?
You know what I like to hear
Yeah, baby I know what you like to hear
Then tell me. Tell me
You're a bad girl You make me so hot
What?
Not it?
Nice, Jack
You're sweeping me off my feet
You make me hot
It's Kate's birthday What do you say?
Happy birthday, Kate
Are they still together?
Hello, kids
Look at that Evelyn, you're tremendous
Now look what happens
Jack
The man
Do you have anything to say to your wife on her birthday?
What?
Today's your birthday?
Yes, 22
Well, you know what?
Wow, your birthday!
You are my wife
and today is your birthday
Actually, I do have one thing that I want to say to you
And, God, I hope you like it
Bill?
Oh, no
You hit it, Bill
You wore that shirt last year by the way
Many guys have come to you
With a line that wasn't true
And you passed them by
Passed them by
Now you're in the center ring
And the lines don't mean a thing
Why don't you let me try
Let him try
Now I don't wear a diamond ring
I don't even have a song to sing
All I know is la la la la la la means...
I love you
La la la la la la means...
I love yu
The things I am saying are true
And the way I explain them to you
Yes, to you
Listen to me la la la la la la means...
I love you
La la la la la la means...
I love you
Happy birthday, sweetheart
There's love in the air
He loves her It's official. There's love
Come on it's time to get up, honey
Morning, Joshie
Happy anniversary, honey
Now...
before you do whatever crazy stunt you've got planned
open mine first
Maybe I should wait
No! Come on!
Come on, come on, open it
''Zeena''?
I found it at an outlet store
I know it's a knockoff
but I think it will look great on you
Oh, enjoy it, sweetheart
Yeah, you're probably expecting something from me
Um...here's the thing
I hadn't really planning on giving you...
your anniversary gift until tonight
Anniversary's good all day
What? What are you talking about?
But you can never wait all day
You can't even wait until it's light out
I know
I know, that's me. It's true
But...
it's funny, I...
You forgot
You actually forgot our anniversary
I'll fix it
I'll go out right now and get you something
I'll make it right
Is there enough chocolate in there?
Not bad
Good
I should have warned you
Dad always does something special for their anniversary
Like what?
One year he had a star named after her
He had a star named after her?
Well, that's nice but isn't that a little...
corny?
Mom liked it
Maybe I can pick her up some earrings at the mall
That's good, but...
you did forget the anniversary
Right, that is a major oversight
Okay, so if I'm Kate
I can't afford the finer things
my husband's career is definitely a crushing disappointment to me
I'm trapped in suburbia
Did he ever take her to the city?
Now you're getting the hang of it
Can we afford this place?
I'm taking my baby out for our anniversary, damn the costs
May I have your order now?
We'll have the terrine of quail breast
with shitake mushrooms &, to start
Then the veal medallions in raspberry truffle sauce and...
the sea scallops with pureed artichoke hearts
Very good, sir
And may I say those are excellent selections?
You may
Also, we'll have a bottle of Lafitte '82
Honey
that's an $800 bottle of wine
We'll just have some red wine by the glass
You are so not off the hook yet, Slick
But I'm getting close, right?
You want to dance?
I don't think there's dancing here
Sure there it
Not bad for a tire salesman from New Jersey
I have my moments
Try one of these
God, I missed that taste
I need to tell you something
I think it may help us...
but there's a chance it could make things worse
I'm living someone else's
I feel like I'm living someone else's life
I remember I used to walk to work
and I had a warm bialy in my hand
and a hot cup of coffee from Dean and Deluca
the crisp feeling of the Wall Street Journal
the smell of leather from my briefcase
I used to be so sure about everything. Confident
You know, I knew exactly who I was
and what I want
And then one morning I woke up
and suddenly it was all different
Worse, do you mean?
No
Well, maybe a few things, but...
mostly just different
And it's okay
But I never used to be like this, Kate
I was the guy who had it all figured out
I had no doubts. I had no regrets
And now?
Now, I don't I don't have it all figured out
Me, neither
But you always seem so certain
You think I never wake up
and wonder what the hell I'm doing in New Jersey?
Yeah
Yeah?
My office is a dump
I answer my own phone and you've seen my paycheck
Your paycheck is a disgrace to paychecks
Can you imagine a life where everything was just easy?
Where you ask for things and people just bring them to you?
It's wonderful
I think about it, too
I do
I wonder about the life I would have had if I hadn't married you
And...?
And then I realize
I've erased all the things in my life that I'm sure about
You...and the kids
Good things
What are you sure about?
I'm sure that right now
there's nowhere else I'd rather be than here with you
You like it?
This is beautiful
You know champagne makes me do crazy things
I'll fill yours up to the top
I don't know how you did it but you pulled it off
I'm out of the doghouse?
Way out
Happy anniversary, sweetheart
You may even get lucky tonight, Jack
You're so beautiful
I already told you you were going to get lucky
Oh, my God
all this time, I never stopped loving you
That's all I wanted to hear
I'm going to wear the usual today
What are you thinking? You want to come to work with Dad?
Help me sell some tires? It's fun
I'm pretty good at it. Who's this?
Who's that?
Who is that?
Who's on that tie?
That's Grandpa
Have a great day
For the money, this is hands down the best radial we carry
Okay, I'll take them
You won't regret it
Tommy, set Mr. Conlin up with four B.F. Goodrich G-force T/ A's
And give him 1 0% off for having the best costume
Thank you
You bet
Right this way, sir
Tell me, does the tire smoke?
