GILLIAN - Nanny Maureen. I brought her in case you couldn't handle the kids. 

ANNABEL - Maureen's getting a divorce. 

JOE - Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. 

MAUREEN - It's my own fault. Never marry a man who lies. 

JOE - That is so wise. Yes, Annabel, remember that.

JOE - Really? Let's hear it. 

MATT - F-O-X. 

JOE - Excellent, excellent, you know, I've got this covered. You can have the day off. (to Gillian) I'm sure you must be late for something. Volunteering at the Henry Street Setlment, rolling bandages....for Bosnian refugees

GILLIAN - I am. I'm having my eggs harvested. 

JOE - And getting those eggs harvested. Don't worry about a thing. See you latter.
