Re: Last night
So who was over last night when I called? That didn’t sound like Sean. I’m sorry if I interrupted anything, I just wanted to know if you’d seen that comic dog on Conan. He was ripping on Eminem again, it was HILARIOUS. I know I’m not usually up that late, but Little John has a cold.
So. Who was she? Was it HER? What was she doing at your place after midnight? Naughty, naughty.
Besides, I thought she hated you, for getting her fired and all of that.

Re: Last night
Yes, it was HER. Or Kate, as you had better get used to calling her, since I’m hoping she’s going to become a permanent addition to—well, not the family, since I would never wish that on anyone, but at least to me.
Stacy, I have to say, when you married Jason, I thought you were completely insane. I mean, MARRY someone? Pledge to spend your entire life with one other person, until DEATH? For what? So you can end up like Mom and Dad, barely able to stand the sight of each other? Who in their right mind would ever wish such a thing on their worst enemy?
But I understand now. I get it. I want to be with her, and just her, forever. For the rest of my life. If she’ll have me. Which I think she might, if I just play my cards right. . . .
I can’t wait until you meet her. I think she’ll almost balance out Amy.
Almost.
Last night was the most incredible night of my life. Is this how you felt, the first time you and Jason . . . you know?
No. Strike that. I don’t want to know. The thought of the two of you. . . .
Gotta go.

Re: Last night
Oh, what, the thought of me doing my husband makes you want to barf?
Well, never mind. It does me, too.
Just kidding.
So, um, congrats on you and the girl. She must be something, if she’s got YOU talking wedding bells. But I always knew you’d find the right girl eventually.
By the way, did you hear about Stuart’s genetic test results? Turns out he’s a carrier for Tay Sach’s disease. Which means that somewhere back in our genealogical past, we were Jewish. No big surprise, is it, that we should have had a relative who, upon witnessing the pogroms, conveniently converted?
Mom is in fits over the whole thing. She thinks the country club is going to kick us out if they find out. Jason was like, “Why would she even want to belong to an organization that discriminates against ethnicity—or anything else for that matter?”
Poor Jason. You think he’d have learned by now, wouldn’t you?
Hey, so, what was Sean up to while you and Little Miss Dreamgirl were reaching the heights of ecstasy on those brown sheets of yours (we so need to take a little trip to Bloomies)?

Re: Sean
What are you talking about? Sean left me a note saying she was staying with you this weekend. Isn’t she there?

Can you believe this??
Katydid:
I’m freaking out. I really am. Jen—I have my job back. And you . . . you have the T.O.D.’s job! You are a DIRECTOR! A DIRECTOR!!! You so, so deserve it.
Sleaterkinneyfan:
I think you’re going to have to pinch me. I feel like I’m in a dream.
Sleaterkinneyfan:
Ow, bitch, that really hurt.
Katydid:
Did you see how she was crying? I felt a little sorry for her.
Sleaterkinneyfan:
Sorry for her? After what she did to you? Kate, you are way, way too nice. So where do you want to go to lunch to celebrate? My treat.
Katydid:
Can’t. I have plans already.
Sleaterkinneyfan:
With Loverboy?
Katydid:
No, Dale’s model, actually. I promised I’d go to the Olive Garden with her so we can talk about Dale.
Sleaterkinneyfan:
Oh my God. You really ARE too nice.
Katydid:
After work? Drinks at Lupe’s?
Sleaterkinneyfan:
You’re on. No drinks for me, though.
Katydid:
Why? Directors can’t drink?
Sleaterkinneyfan:
No. Pregnant women can’t.

Re: You
Oh my God, I’m sure they heard you all the way up in Peter’s office. Would you calm down? I’m trying to keep it under wraps. How thrilled are they going to be when they find out they just promoted a lady who’ll be on maternity leave in seven months? So keep the celebrating to a lower pitch, will you, please?
And yes, of course you can be the godmother.

Re: The News
By now you’ve heard the tragic news. I suppose YOU won’t see what’s so tragic about it. I suppose you’re PROUD that you’re descended from Those People. I suppose you just laughed when you heard, the way your father did.
But believe me, it’s no laughing matter. And it’s killing your brother. I know that you and I haven’t seen eye to eye about much lately, but maybe we can at least agree on this: Your brother needs you, Mitchell. He’s hurting, and quite badly. Can’t you, just for once, do the decent thing, and offer to go with him after work to that cigar bar he likes so much, or maybe take him to play basketball with those friends of yours? You know it was never easy for Stuart to open up to new people—he’s far too sensitive. What few friends he’s had, he’s never managed to keep for very long . . . except, of course, those friends he’s made through work. But of course they can’t afford to alienate him, or they’ll lose their jobs.
But what Stuart needs right now isn’t friends. It’s family. Won’t you, for once in your life, think about someone other than yourself, and help your brother?
I’d ask your sister Stacy, but she said something very rude to me about Stuart over the phone just now. It’s clear she’s in one of her moods.
If you won’t do it for Stuart, Mitch, will you do it for me?
