In Good Company

After months of speculation

analysts expect an announcement this week

that GlobeCom International will acquire Waterman Publishing

and its flagship magazine, Sports America.

The man at the helm of GlobeCom,

billionaire media magnate Teddy K.

Has been on a spending spree recently,

acquiring a food service company, a cable operator

and two telecommunications providers

in deals totaling more than $13 billion.

And how did one lucky ferret owner come to own

the largest dog treat manufacturer on the East Coast?

Mr. Kalb.

Dan.

Thanks for the Lakers tickets.

You bet.

Seats were terrific.

But I'm still not going to advertise in the magazine.

My son-in-law tells me that people don't read much anymore.

Too much effort moving the eyes back and forth.

So we're gonna put most of our budget

into television, radio, Internet.

Okay.

"Okay"? What does that mean?

I'm not gonna try to sell you.

Why the hell not? You're a salesman.

Yeah. Just not a very good one, that's all.

I'll say.

But I am gonna ask you one favor.

Oh, yeah?

I'm gonna leave you an issue of the magazine.

And I'm personally gonna send you a new one every week.

Now, I'll call you in a few weeks,

and if you want to, we'll talk.

There's a great article in there

comparing today's quarterbacks with Johnny Unitas.

Unitas would kick their butts.

So, this is your sales pitch?

I've been with the magazine for 20 years. I believe in it.

Well, good for you.

So, are you worried about all these rumors

that your parent company is about to be sold?

No, not really.

I don't see how it would affect us.

Well, hopefully it won't.

You know, that Teddy K. Character

offered to buy my business a few years ago.

I told him to go screw himself.

My son-in-law says I'm a dinosaur.

Don't knock dinosaurs. They ruled the earth for millions of years.

They must've been doing something right.

Simply put, we are never gonna be able to reach

this significant, untapped market,

until we learn to think like them.

In point of fact,

less than. 05 percent of all cell phone users

are under the age of 5 years old.

That's why we have the T-Rex phone

and the Triceratops phone, and the Pterodactyl phone.

'Cause it's gonna change all of that

and each one of these phones has its own unique ring.

Mommy, Mommy, I want one.

Buy me one for Christmas.

P.F.G., Carter. P.F.G.

What's P.F.G.?

Pretty fricking good.

Gentlemen, ladies. I have an announcement to make:

It's on.

Teddy K. Has busted his move

and we are taking over Waterman Publishing.

Ow!

Let's give it up for Teddy K.

The man has vision. He's a maniac.

And, I guess it's okay to tell you Teddy K.

Has personally asked me to go over there

and turn around marketing in the magazine division.

So, if you'll excuse me...

Carry on.

Waterman! That's incredible.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Mark. Mark, you're taking me with you.

Tell me you are taking me with you.

Carter, I'm gonna take that place

and whip its fat ass into shape.

And... And?

I want you to come run ad sales at Sports America.

I knew it. I knew it.

The magazine's a cash cow.

It's the cornerstone.

I mentioned your name to Teddy K.

He liked what you did with cell phones.

Oh, hold up, hold up. I'm...

I'm sorry. Teddy K. Knows my name?

I'm gonna tell you something.

And I don't want it to go to your head.

You're being groomed.

I'm being groomed? Yeah.

Mark. Thank you.

Thank you. I am going to kick so much ass for you.

I'm gonna take no prisoners.

I'll be your ninja assassin.

Wow. You're the new me.

No, I'm the new me.

Congratulations.

What's up?

Hey, Dad.

Hey, button.

What are you still doing awake?

Couldn't sleep.

Can't sleep?

What, were you worried about something?

No, not really.

'Cause, uh,

you know if... if... if you are worried about something

you can always talk to me about anything.

Remember? You know

when you were a little girl we crossed our hearts

and said we'd always tell each other everything.

Be honest with one another.

Yeah.

I'm kind of tired.

Hmm. Okay.

We still gonna hit tomorrow?

Yeah, sure.

All right. I'll see you then. I love you.

I love you, too.

Hmm.

Uh, what time is it?

It's after 3:00. Go back to sleep, honey.

Sorry I woke you up.

Hi, sweetheart.

Hi.

Honey,

does Alex have a new boyfriend?

Uh, no.

W-What about that Myron kid?

I think that they're just friends.

Yeah.

I'm pregnant.

What?

I'm sorry. I thought you said that you were pregnant.

Yeah.

You can't be pregnant.

Yeah, I can. I'm... I am.

Now, how could that happen?

Well, I think that you were there, too.

No, honey.

You know you're done with all that.

That's what Dr. Steinberg said, but he was wrong.

You're pregnant? Yep.

Holy crap.

Holy crap!

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Does it feel like a boy?

Right now it feels like a stomach flu.

You can't be serious. Are you serious?

I am serious.

This is fine. This is fine.

This is... This is fine.

Yeah.

That means when he's 21,

I'll be 72.

Three.

Two. Three.

Holy crap.

I'm just so excited. I'm so excited.

Is excitement contagious or what?

Um, no.

I'm being groomed. I'm being groomed.

Do you have any idea what this means?

That you're a chimpanzee?

It means that we're on the road.

You know, things are fallin' into place.

We can buy a bigger house.

We can have kids. You know?

I'm sorry. We got a life going on here!

Carter, it's 3:00 a. m.

How much more enthusiasm are we looking at here?

15 minutes? An hour?

Honey, I'm sorry.

It's just, Teddy K. Knows my name.

Are you even qualified for this job?

What? Yes. Sure.

Selling cell phones, selling ad space.

You know, it's all the same crap.

Anyway, it's just a stepping-stone.

Love you.

Love you, too.

The light. Yep.

We're all gonna get fired.

Well, anything's possible.
