What's gonna happen
to Solomon...
when Solomon
finishes painting the trim ?
[ Michael ]
Well...
when he finishes painting,
we'll have to find something
else for him to do.
- Okay ?
- Okay.
Hurry up, sweetheart.
- Bye, Mom.
- Bye.
Mrs. Thompson ?
Mrs. Thompson !
[ Squeaking Brakes ]
Thanks.
- Thanks for stopping.
- No problem.
- Here you go, sweetheart.
- Thanks, Mom.
Thanks. l think it's gonna rain later.
That was really nice of you.
- You're welcome.
- Well, thanks. Thank you.
Excuse me, do you know
where the Bartels live ?
Well...
l'm Claire Bartel.
- Oh, hi. l'm Peyton Flanders.
- Hi.
- l was coming about the nanny position.
- Oh !
- All right. You wanna
come up to the house ?
- Yeah.
l can't believe l forgot
l had an appointment.
l'm usually so good
about these things.
Actually, l didn't have
an appointment.
Oh. Did the agency
just tell you to stop by ?
- Well, no. l'm not with an agency.
- Oh.
The truth is, l've only
worked with one family.
They're moving and l didn't
know what l was gonna do next.
l was with their
little girl in the park.
Nannies talk and l heard
that your family needed someone.
l'm sorry. l shouldn't
have just showed up.
- l've made you uncomfortable.
- Oh no, it's fine.
You're here
so come on in.
- Are you sure ? Okay.
- Yeah, yeah.
Usually l have a set
of questions l ask, like...
- are you old enough to drive ?
- Thank you.
Oh, here.
Don't lose this.
My husband's been after me
to fix this thing.
Well...
[ Chuckle ]
how did you come
to be a nanny ?
Well, um...
a few years ago
l was pregnant.
l lost the baby and my husband
within days of each other.
The miscarriage prevented me
from having more children.
lt was a very
difficult time.
A mutual friend set me up
with a family looking for a nanny.
lt turned out to be... a wonderful
experience for both of us.
l adore children.
l love being with them,
taking care of them.
For me it's...
the next best thing
to actually being a mother.
Well, l'm building
my own greenhouse.
And... although l'll just be
right in the backyard,
l'm anticipating
being very busy.
[ Crying ]
That's Joe.
Oh !
l'd love to meet him.
The nursery is across
from the master bedroom.
[ Solomon ]
Claire ? l need to ask you something.
l'll be right back.
Excuse me.
[ Crying, Cooing ]
[ Claire ]
Try to open the window from the inside.
lf you can't, wait
'til Michael comes home.
Solomon, this is Peyton.
Peyton, Solomon.
- Nice to meet you, Solomon.
- Oh, hello.
[ Gasp ]
Oh, l'm sorry !
l'm sorry.
- l'm sorry.
- That's all right. lt was an accident.
Anyone can have an accident.
Okay.
Ohh !
He's beautiful.
He's very hungry.
l've taken up
half your morning.
No problem,
l really enjoyed it.
l should be going. l'm gonna
leave a letter of reference.
l can show myself out.
You don't have to get up.
Peyton, would you like to
have dinner with us tonight ?
l'd love for you
to meet the family.
l'd love to.
Say around 6:30 ?
l'll be here.
l'm in charge of
the salad dressing.
And now you're in charge of setting
the table, sweetheart.
Daddy's gonna be home
any minute.
lf you don't mind my asking,
what does your husband do ?
Michael's a
genetic engineer.
He works for a research
outfit called Biotechnics.
Daddy is a
mad scientist !
[ Honking ]
lt's Daddy !
Here, let me help
with that.
Thanks.
Gimme a kiss.
Thank you very much.

What are you

[ Whispering ]
Oh, Joey's asleep. Thank you.

[ Michael ]

the all-time great meals.
