01x02 - It's a Man's World

[bunniefuu]

Well, what we really need
is a good lawyer to examine and review

the contracts before Faisal signs them.

Yes. I'll look for a good lawyer.

What's that?

-Where did you get this pager?
-Give it to me.

This is Singapore's country code.

Dad, it's that one hotel in Singapore.

Should we take it in the study?

We're eating.

But, Father,
Singapore's in a different timezone.

This is 1987.

-The times are changing.
-Mm. Why don't you call him then?

Serious? You want me to call him?

Yes, very serious.

The scales have been tipping.
You're now the spokesman of our family.

Yes, Father.

I'll call him up. Excuse me.

Father, they're saying at work that Faisal
has some construction projects in London.

I know, sweetie, yes. Thank you.

Munira, are you really going out
into the world

wearing such mismatched colors?

Times have changed, Mother. It's 1987.

Is the year
an excuse to dress like this?

Maybe you should be more like Farida.

You want me to be honest?
Her taste is much better than yours.

So sweet. She always seems happy.

She's sweet just like chocolate.

Hey, you.

Your jealousy is pointless,

so get over it already.

Just be grateful you're not
the only woman working there now.

Ah, but they'll eat her alive, I'm sure.

Of course they'll eat her.

Didn't you say she's sweet as chocolate?

The dress looks so bad.

It looks
like I'm literally wearing a potato sack.

You're going to school,
not a fashion show.

Come on.
As soon as I save up some money,

I'll send you back to private school.
We're all compromising a little.

It doesn't even fit me.

Come out. I'll fix it for you.
Let me see it.

Don't be shy now.

It's not right.

Come on!

Let's go!

You look amazing.

Let me fix this up.

Come.

Mm-hmm.

They make you wear a uniform
so you focus on studies,

not on dresses.

It's not fair.

Today is both my first day at school
and your first day at work.

But me, I look miserable,

and you get to look so pretty.

Is that true? I look pretty?

Oh, come on. Is this about me or you?

It's about you.

It's definitely you.

Listen to me.

I know it's new for you, and you're not
used to it yet. You're frightened.

But just listen.

You are the most beautiful.

Come on. We're running late!

Come on.
Don't keep Roshen waiting. Let me see.

Come here.

You look so pretty.

Thank you.

You'll do amazing today.

Yeah. You too.

-How are you, uncle?
-Hey, can't complain.

How is it driving
your little girl to work?

It feels good, of course.

But please, take care of her.

Leave it to me.

Where's your lunchbox, Farida?

Surely Daddy packed one.

Let me show you around
so you can say how kind I am.

Just don't stand next to me on the floor
while I'm trading.

Fellas.

Fellas! Just great! We're getting
more and more women in here.

-Just ignore them.
-God help us!

Hey, there. Please take
these reports with you to the guys.

Sure.

Your day has just begun.

-That was Mishari. You'll meet later.
-Yes, I know him.

We met when I
came to see Amir last month.

When you came to see Amir?
When you went behind my back?

Why are they staring at us like that?

Just at you.

They're staring at you, honey.

-Women are taking over the world.
-Give them an inch, they take a mile.

But I gotta say

she's gorgeous.

Hasan, we have work, okay?

We need to finish some trades. Let's go.

What did I say?
I just said she's gorgeous.

-You coming?
-Thank you.

Thank you.

Here's where you make chai and coffee.
We can't leave our traders thirsty.

Chai?

What else did you think
you'd be doing here?

Corporate partner with a yacht?

Walid takes his chai with two sugars.

Hasan takes coffee with heavy cream.

And for me, I never drink at work.

Oh, never? Why is that?

I do not have time to waste
running back and forth to go pee.

Munira.

I have 70,000 shares of Chemic,

Have you seen Hasan?

Rahim, you had them yesterday.
Bring the price down and we'll talk.

-You didn't introduce me to the lady.
-Not necessary, she won't last a week.

Hm? What is it?

Am I moving too fast for you?

I'm looking and it seems

we're the only women in here.

Wow, you're so observant.
A regular detective.

So, how about we help each other out?
Wouldn't that be nice?

I paved the road for you.
Isn't that enough?

Oh, is this regarding what happened
with the Kazima trade?

So what? I thought we could both benefit.

Huh? But anyway, if it offended you,

I apologize.

You had my respect until you apologized.

Well, the tour is over now.

Go and take that desk.

Here is where our team

lives, breathes, and dies.

You both friends?

My cousin.

-Mm.
-Oh.

You're cousins.

I need you to buy me 11,000 shares
from Mobile Telecom right away.

-You two split it.
-Why such a big amount?

In the bathroom, I overheard
Nabil's son saying something important.

His father has a lot of shares
he needs to sell at 12.2.

Excellent. I've been tracking
this company for a while.

They're launching
a new pager in two weeks.

Did anyone else hear about this
in the bathroom?

Everyone was tipped off.
All the banks probably know.

I'm sure he made it known on purpose.

So come on.
Sweep the market right away.

-You must be--
-Farida Al-Ma'mun.

Our new office clerk, hm? Welcome.

Welcome to the top team in the exchange.

If you have any questions, ask away.

Well, uh, I'm honored
to be part of the team.

-That's not a question.
-Hopefully, we start you off with a win.

Today's lesson is
about the traits of different creatures.

The topic of today's lesson is the spider.

You're our new student today, huh?

Come in and find yourself an empty seat.

Right.

No, thanks.

What enables a baby spider
to make the same type of web

its mother makes? Mays?

I'm not sure.

Stand up and speak clear
so I can hear you.

Miss, I said I don't know.

Hm.
Can the new student answer the question?

Ma'am, I wasn't here for this.

Surely you learned some of this
at the British School before you came.

A baby spider can make
the same web as its mom

because she passes down
her innate ability,

which is an inherited trait.

Well done. Right.

An inherited trait
is when a being passes down

the same type
of genetically derived behavior.

Here's a piece of gum for you.

Your hair was all over my desk.

Each one of you will buy 5,500 shares

from Mobile Telecom at 12.2.

-We're both buying the same stock?
-Nabil's the spearhead.

No one can predict what he's really up to.

And Saud wants to hedge up his bets.

And he knows Nabil
won't sell to both of you.

So he's hoping at the least
maybe one of you might succeed.

-You take Telecom. I'll take Chemic.
-I'm the one who sets the strategies here.

It's my job, not yours.

We are dealing with--

We're dealing with Nabil.
I want what's best--

I want what's best for me.
I think if you fail to get those shares,

they'll finally understand
you don't belong here. Neither of you.

k*lling two birds…

…with one Nabil.

Excuse me, but who's Nabil?

Nabil,

the head of the spear, deluxe stockbroker.

He has the most money,
but he never shares.

He'll make you sorry
if you stand in his way.

He'll steal right from your hands,
and cut off your feet.

-Where's the…
-Hm?

…girls' restroom?

-Honey, there's no ladies' room here.
-For real?

Oh.

Well, what happens if it's an emergency?

If you desperately have to go,
Hungry Bunny is across the street.

You need to come back within five minutes,

because trading starts in five minutes.

Don't take too long!

Six thousand over here! Six thousand!

Are you okay?

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Fifteen thousand, Mobile Telecom!

5,500! 5,500!

5,500 shares of Telecom!
Five thousand five hundred, Telecom.

One thousand two hundred

Okay, don't worry.

-5,500!
-1,200, Mobile Telecom!

-1,200, Mobile Telecom.
-Nabil, I'm talking to you. 5,500.

All we have left
from Mobile Telecom stock

is 15,000 shares at 12.2.

Five thousand…
Five thousand five hundred shares!

12.2, okay?

5,500 for the Bank of Tomorrow!

-Five thousand--
-15,000, Mobile Telecom!

-15,000 shares?
-15,000 shares!

-Very good! Very good! Very good!
-Yes, sir. Thank you.

I'm sorry.

I got to you before him.

Don't embarrass yourself.

Don't cry, my friends. Don't cry.

Tomorrow, we'll have
another 20,000 shares from Mobile Telecom,

but the price is going to change.

-It will be 12.7 instead of 12.2.
-Sorry, ladies. I'm out.

-You could've sold me 5,500.
-If I sell to you, I have to sell to her.

-I was standing here way before.
-Yet I saw nothing.

Now do you see me?

Do you happen to know why
I do not like to trade with women?

Because they have
seemingly no control over how they act

and how they behave.

What are you waiting for? Pick those up!
Pick them up! Pick up those tickets!

Well, if this is how you think
you're gonna win,

then I believe
you won't last too long in here.

Thirteen thousand five hundred…

Carry the one.

Sorry to interrupt you. Mr. Saud wants
the Logic Warehouse financial report.

The upper floors think we should invest,
but he's of another opinion.

Yes, of course.

Tell him we're giving

this task to the new girl.

Well, aren't you quite lucky.
Have it ready noon tomorrow.

Don't lay too much work on her.
And we still haven't mentioned the keys.

Ooh. Don't tell her.

Why not?

Mm.

What keys do you mean?

Come here.

Closer.

I need you to swear.

-Okay.
-Say, "I swear I won't tell."

-I swear I won't tell.
-You sure?

-We lost the clearing house keys.
-Clearing house?

Not so loud. Shush.

Without these keys, we can't clear
anything that we're trading.

And girls, obviously, are better
at picking the smallest details.

-You'll find the key.
-Great idea.

Look from a different perspective,
because the keys are in the building.

So if you find the keys and finish
the file with the time left,

I think it will make up
for your loss today with Nabil.

Deal?

-Okay.
-Yeah.

Everything okay down there?

Uh…

Uh…

Uh, yeah. It's-- It's all good.

All good.

Uh, my earring. I lost my earring.
I was just looking for it.

It must've come loose
when you took that bad spill earlier.

So you saw me.

Uh, everyone there did.

I'll help you find it.

That won't be necessary.
Don't waste your time.

No, no, it's okay.

While we wait for chai.

Sir, you really
don't have to go through with this.

No one has to do anything in this life.

So, how's it going? First day?

Is it that obvious it's my first day?

So obvious. You're pretty hard to miss.

That earring is really not worth it.
I'll just buy another one.

Thank you, sir.

Thanks.

You sure? Yes, I'm sure.

But if you do find it, let me know.

So I can sleep easy at least.

Khalifa Saber.

Trader clerk.

Bank of Kout.

Farida Adeeb.
Trader clerk, Bank of Tomorrow.

Here, this chai will soothe you.
Long day ahead.

That's mine?

Yes. I didn't know if you'd want chai.

Should be okay.

See you later.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Did you know her dad divorced her mom?

Her dad just left her.
He doesn't even want to see her.

He's probably ashamed.

She thinks she's better than everyone
'cause she went to the British School.

She's just like chicken nuggets
from Hungry Bunny:

brown on the outside,
white on the inside.

Where's the key?

I'll work on the financial report for now,
but I'll look for it later.

It's better that way.

So, is everything okay back home?

Everything's doing all right.

That's good to hear.

Sir, do you know her? Look.

-Saud.
-Go, Youssef. Go.

Saud?

No need for formalities!

I want to talk to you about Nabil.

Well, I do not talk about work
in the barbershop.

No problem. I'll wait.

Youssef, come finish up. Come.

This is a nice change.
Usually I'm the one buying.

I know your time is valuable,
so I'll treat you.

And what an expensive treat.

Why didn't you talk to Hasan about Nabil?
Why did you come to me instead?

Because Hasan hates me
even more than Nabil.

Hm.

You familiar with the saying that goes,

"If you don't have enemies,
then you haven't experienced pleasure"?

Hasan can be annoying sometimes.

But you can learn a lot from him.

I've always relied on myself.

And what do you want
in exchange for this bribe?

Sometimes I can't rely just on myself.

I don't know why Nabil
is treating me like this.

He won't trade with me.

-Last week, he gave you Al-Taqa shares.
-There's one thing Hasan was right about.

The presence of my cousin Farida
made things worse.

Before, I had to beg Nabil
to trade just with me.

Now that she's here, I have
to persuade him to accept all women.

Hm.

Well, just leave it to me then.

After all, the Bank of Tomorrow
is much bigger than Nabil.

And Nabil wouldn't want
to lose his business with us.

I'll drop by the lounge tomorrow
and take the guys with me.

And hopefully after,
you'll be able to trade with him.

You and Farida.

-Me and Farida?
-Of course.

But then the priority goes to the bank.

Put her under the impression
she has you to thank.

Make her owe you something.

By the way, I was impressed when you
threw the tickets in Nabil's face.

And just so you know,
force won't work with everyone you meet.

With some people, just a compliment,
or a glass of juice like this one,

and they'll be swayed.

Well then, enjoy.

Are you hungry?

-One biscuit or two?
-Give me two, if you could.

So? You getting the hang of it yet?

Well, I certainly know
how to make chai and coffee.

And I know that my head is just spinning.

After you.

The difference between the exchange
and other markets is it's like a jungle,

where investors are monkeys,

chasing each other to steal bananas.

Come on.

Salem. Thanks, my friend.

Come. I'll show you.

-Look. Here, we have the--
-The brokers.

Bravo. Look.

See those desks?

The stockbrokers hang out there.

We need to figure out
who are clever brokers,

who keep the best deals away from us.

You know? They know how greedy we are,
so they hide the bananas.

That so devious.

As for deviousness,
no one competes with Nabil.

-He's the most devious.
-Hm. He's the spearhead.

He can propel you up,

or he can sink you to the bottom.

The trick is to get to him.

That's how you win.

As long as no one pushes you away
to take your place of course.

Come on. Forgive me

Here.

Look. That's Nabil's lounge.

He's the only broker
who has a lounge here.

Wow!

See the table?

-Bribery?
-Uh…

Might want to change your phrasing.
It's flattery.

Figure out what each broker
likes and be nice to them. Flirt a little.

-Um…
-Not literally.

Take Nabil, he likes Iranian pistachios.

But due to the current situation,
Iranian goods are hard to come by.

But lucky for you, I know a guy.

And he can get them.

Here you are.

But uh…

…we're both competing, aren't we?

That's right

But that doesn't mean I can't have
someone owe me a banana one day.

You know?

In case I'm hungry.

-Thank you.
-Welcome.

-Don't lose it.
-I won't. Promise I'll keep it safe.

-My turn?
-Mm.

It's five.

A seven.

Gonna get an earful from you mom.

-You missed dinner.
-Come on, Dad. I was held back.

It was my first day. They asked me
to work late. I couldn't say no.

Though, to tell you the truth,
I'm really hungry right now.

Hm.

Hm.

Hi.

Did Grandma Nojood
braid your hair like this?

Um, no, I did it.

-Your turn, Grandpa Adib.
-Hm.

Did you practice your violin
before playing?

-The new school doesn't have an orchestra.
-You shouldn't stop practicing, Jude.

Even if I practice, who am I
gonna play for? Queen Elizabeth?

Okay, how was your day?

I gave a detailed report
this evening at dinner time,

the dinner you weren't there for.
Must I really say it again?

Seems she had an amazing day.

That's good.
Both of us did well on our first day?

So, what are the girls like
at school Jude? Huh?

They're nice.

I'm gonna take care of some stuff,
then finish my financial report.

Dad, don't keep her up late.
She has school tomorrow.

So, tell me.

But tell the truth.
What are the girls like at your school?

Really evil.

Mm. Mm-hmm.

Stop! Stop, stop, stop!

Tell me.
Why are you mostly playing defense?

This strategy is called the blitz.

Sometimes, you need
to attack your opponent,

uh, with a big shock.

Like a shock attack.

See here.

But I need a whole army for me to attack.

On the contrary.

You need to be brave
in order to strengthen your position,

and to use the element of surprise
to your advantage.

I think you heard your mother, huh?

Turn off the lights on your way.

Sure.

But, Dad, what they mean to say

is that trading with this company
is very slow.

Just buy one stock, a single stock.

And watch it rise.

Did you hear that, guys?
We all have to buy.

What do you have there?

Is it someone's baby shower?

What? I was supposed
to expect them yesterday.

Dad, look.

-Can you go get that?
-Yes.

What?

A gift for your father.

Oh.

Seems like a glass set.

Thanks.

Welcome.

-Dad, she says it's a gift for you.
-Hm?

So, Faris, we must buy from this company
as much as we can. Okay?

Excuse me, Dad.
What about this company?

You trying to sweet talk Nabil?

You don't need to.

I took care of that problem for us.

It's "us" now?

I thought you wanted to work separately.

True.

But unfortunately,
we're both on the same boat.

I must help you in order to help myself.

You're supposed to thank me, no?

My father said he's going
to save you 5,500 Telecom shares

at 12.7.

Just for you and for no one else.

Just for her, huh?

You reap what you sow.

Well, thank you.

Munira?

When will you talk to Nabil?

Sorry if I'm interrupting something.

No, not much.

Better than the barber shop at least.

Come on in.

-What is it?
-When are you going to talk to Nabil?

Yes, Mr. Saud?

Mishari, what time
is our meeting with Nabil?

2:30.

Much thanks.

-2:30.
-I'm going with.

I said leave it to me.

-What you need to--
-I need you to get within reach.

-As for the rest, I can handle it.
-Okay.

Come. But promise me
that you'll control your temper.

I'll serve him milk chai,
and I'll clean the whole lounge for him.

I swear.

I hope you are not planning
to eat it all yourself.

Not really.
I'm sharing with friends.

Hey, girls. Who wants some?

Okay.

-Thanks.
-You're welcome.

Anyone else?

So, you girls want
some chicken nuggets?

How crude!

She eats her own kind.

Well if you want more, I have some.

Yes. Give it.

You want some?

It's not possible. I mean, things happen
sometimes, and you can't always--

Without cheese for Mishari.

Thank you. Thanks.

-This is for you.
-At least you got one order right.

Two, actually.

Here.

-And this is for Saud.
-Thank you. You finished it on time.

-He'll be pleased.
-You're welcome.

Mine's without tomatoes.

Five thousand five hundred shares at 12.7.

Twelve point seven?

Why didn't you get it for 12.2?
Did you even try?

So how did it go last night?

Actually, it went pretty well.

-We'll see what Saud says.
-What's Saud got to do with it?

We're talking about the keys.
Or did you forget?

Uh, I had to finish all my work
on the financial report

for Logic Warehousing.

So you finished. Now what?

I'm done if you need to make a copy.

No, no, no rush. Take your time.
I'm working on something else.

Uh, by the way,
when you want that banana--

-Did the pistachios work?
-Yeah.

I was able to get 5,500 shares,
but I got them at 12.7.

-Success.
-But that jerk Walid.

He doesn't care about the shares.

-Looking for something?
-Huh?

Well, nothing. It's just… a piece
of paper. An important piece of paper.

I've been looking for it
for a few days now, but I can't find it.

Looking for the clearing house keys?

Do you know where they are?

What?

-The clearing house is a department.
-A department?

I mean, it's not an actual place
with a door and key.

The clearing house is…
How do I explain this?

Well, consider it a prank.

It's okay. It's okay.

They do it all the time to all new clerks.
It's like a silly welcome.

Don't mind them.
But you wanna know something?

I haven't seen a new clerk
trying that hard to find that key.

-It shows how efficient you are.
-Yeah.

Efficient at embarrassing myself.
They got me.

You live and you learn.

Hello. Yeah, come in.

-It's a pleasure to have you here.
-The pleasure is ours.

Thank you, Abu Khaled.

You've always been
generous and hospitable.

You guys are worthy of a banquet,

even though some of you having no decency

nor respect for men
who've worked here before you.

But I'm a considerate man,

and I can forgive and forget.

That's kind of you, Abu Khaled.
You've always been such an honorable man.

Yes, Saud, it is true
that I've always been a fair man.

True.

And I'm wealthy enough, thanks to Allah.

Of course.

And if some of your new clerks are here…

here to apologize, let's say,

and to resolve our differences,
I'd have no problem with that.

Well, Abu Khaled,

we came here because

you're a prestigious and wealthy man
and because we need you.

And you need us too.

We need to deal with each other
in honest good faith.

But as of late, you have been reluctant
to trade with any of our clerks.

You're quite practical, honestly.

But some of your new clerks here
have been harming our little relationship.

But nevertheless, what can I say?

Like they say, "If the current changes,
go with the flow."

Well…

And my son here, God bless him,
he always says, "Times have changed."

-True.
-And it's true. Times have changed indeed.

And that's why today, Saud,

I traded
with that other female clerk of yours.

As for this one,

I'm going to punish her.

And why is that?

Well, because… you have no respect

What do you want? You want to fight me?

God forbid.

-And because you're rude, to boot.
-Shouldn't you respect me as well?

Now you look, I am still waiting
for your apology, young lady.

I've never seen
a man ever apologize to you.

Huh!

And do you consider yourself to be a man?

Listen, little girl.

Never forget that you're a girl, a woman,

which means that I can't treat you
the way I treat men

or talk to you the way I talk to men

or tell a joke to you
the way I joke when I'm around other men.

You wanna joke with me?

Are you serious?

Yes, actually, I am.

The way I joke with men is not the same.

Can I tell you a joke then?

Is this the time for that?

When can a woman
make you a millionaire?

-Is this a joke or a question?
-I don't know.

When you're already a billionaire.

Hey, Dad.

-Yeah.
-Seems she's neither a woman nor a man.

Yeah, you're right!

Are we good?
Can we start working with each other?

Write it down. Write it down.
Give her 5,500 shares from Telecom

at 12.7.

Point two.

Twelve point two, good sir.

All right.

Twelve point two.
Now, take it and get out of here

before you make me lose even more.

Done, Dad.

Excuse me.

I need to use the bathroom.

Get out, everyone!
Don't stare at me! Yeah! Yeah! Out!

Out! Out! Out!

I'm in a hurry! Come on! Out! Out!

I'm in a hurry! Come on! Come on!

Come on! Out!

The way she handled it, I was shocked.

I broke into a sweat. That was scary.
Scariest thing--

I was like, "You want to tell a joke?"

-A joke?
-To Nabil?!

I couldn't believe
when he started laughing.

-You missed one hell of a show.
-And that ending…

Wow! Wow! Unbelievable! Unbelievable!

Oh my God!
Your cousin, she's really something!

There she comes. There she comes.

Oh, hello! Hello.

You can't help but show off, as usual.

I'm entitled.

I got the Telecom shares at 12.2.

Farida, finish what you're doing
and find me those keys.

The keys are lost.

Like your manners.

The babe is angry.

Come here. Come here.

-Munira.
-Ah…

Ah…

This envelope's for you
from the executive floor.

Was that your idea?

Not exactly.

But the girl has a right
to fend for herself.

She needs a father to guide her.

Adib, the girl needs you,
and you're giving her the wrong advice.

Her mother suffered 13 years of marriage.

And I was simply supposed to teach her
how to fend for herself.

The least I can do is to teach Jude

what I failed to teach her mother before.

Uh, sorry.

-Should I come back later?
-No, no, please. Your timing is perfect.

Come in. Come in.

No, wait. Sit over there.

-Thank you.
-Come in. Have a seat.

Welcome.

My wife's always asking about you
and how you're doing at your job.

Yeah, Yara's a sweetheart.

How is she doing?

She's fine.

She's thrilled Amna got the solo
in the school's orchestra.

Congratulations.

Thank you very much.

So, tell me. How is work downstairs?

She is actually fantastic.

And it only took her two days
to find the keys to the clearing house.

Ah. You've adjusted quickly.

Uh…

Look here.

Hasan and Walid,

I know they can have a mean sense
of humor, but they're harmless.

There's only one person
you need to worry about, him,

because this is the man
whose opinion matters.

Hm?

How's her work?

-The Logic report was excellent.
-Hm.

It was quick, accurate,

and deep,

with a stubborn streak.

That's what we need,

stubbornness.

I'm a bit worried
about her loyalty, though.

I heard that you've been, uh,
friendly with one of our competitors.

Who? Khalifa?

Well, he was just telling me how things
work around here, you know? That's all.

It's nice to trust everyone.

I just need you to know one thing.

See, whoever's been trying to befriend you

and get close to you,
no matter how nice they may seem,

they're doing it to get information
out of you, nothing more.

Sure. It won't happen again.

Well, then, Farida, you never told me.
Why are you here?

What I came in here for? Uh…

Yeah.

Well, I was just thinking, uh,

that maybe we could have
a ladies' room in here.

Well, I just now learned from you now
that there's no ladies' room in here.

-This is embarrassing.
-Yeah.

We have no authority
over the exchange administration.

Look, though.
Munira never made a complaint about this.

-No, never.
-Yes, I see.

Okay, then. Excuse me.

Sure, yeah.

Sure.

Hey there. Farida, how's your day going?

What's up?

Just checking
to see if your new pager works.

Glad to know that it's working just fine.

Thank you for the gift.

Well, that's the least we could do.

You bought the Telecom shares for us,
so we bought you a Telecom pager.

But this is too much.

You think I deserve it?

After your performance today,
you deserve a promotion, not just a pager.

And who's going to page me?

The administration, of course.

We might need you on short notice.

Hm, so it's just for work, nothing else.

You'll have to answer it every time
to find out. And I'll keep in touch.

I'll see you tomorrow.

The official spokesperson of the family.
Don't tell me you can't sleep.

Father won't be happy
if he sees you in here.

What are you doing in the study?

I'm tipping the scales.
