Hello. This is Angela Bower.

Please leave your name and number.

I'm going to Puerto Vallarta. But don't worry,

if this is about business, I'm only a phone call away.

And I will be checking in. Every 10 minutes. Ha.

You ruined my message. Oh, was that a message?

I thought it was your memoirs.

Allow me.

We're going to Mexico. Adiós, gringos.

[LAUGHS]

Maybe I shouldn't be going.

Angela, what are you kidding me here?

I've known you two years, and in two years

you've never taken a vacation.

All it is with you is work, work, work.

Well, that's why I am the person I am today.

Ey, buenos días, señor.

[CHUCKLES]

Hey, Mona. Where's the rest of your bags?

This is all I'm taking.

For a whole week?

I don't plan on wearing much.

Mexico is going to like you. Ha.

Hi, Dad.

Hi, sweetheart.

You got it? Oh, yeah.

Here, let me help you.

Oh, thank you, sweetheart.

Thanks. I can get the door.

Thanks.

Hey.

[PHONE RINGS]

I got it.

Hello?

Yeah, sure. Hold on.

Angela, it's Howie from the office.

Uh, yes. Yes, Howie. What's the problem?

No, Howie, the presentation is gonna go fine.

You're a highly respected art director.

Well, I respect you.

Howie, look. I'm only a phone call away.

No. No, I-I cannot change my plans.

I'm going to Mexico. Goodbye.

Way to go, Angela!

I thought you'd cave in at the last minute,

and that you'd figure those idiots at the office--

They can't do anything without you.

And that when you got back,

Wallace & McQuaid would be out of business.

[CHUCKLES] You're right, I'm not going.

Tony!

No. I have got to be at this presentation.

This is the Super Soft Corporation.

If we do a good job with their toilet paper,

it could lead directly to cotton balls and ear swabs.

Oh, shoot for the moon.

Angela, now you have got to get

your priorities straight.

Now, look at me. I am going on vacation.

Mother, you quit your job.

See? Priorities.

Tony, she's pooping out again. Ah!

Angela, no you don't.

Tony, I know you mean well.

But I have made a decision. I am not going to Mexico.

And there is nothing you can say to change my mind.

[GROANS]

All right.

Then, I guess I won't say anything.

[GASPS] Tony. What are you doing?

Tony, put me down.

Excuse me, do you know the way to Mexico?

Through the door, señor. Thank you.

Tony, I'm still your employer. You put me down!

Tony, you're fired!

You're history, you're out of here!

We're all out of here. Heh!

[MARIACHI MUSIC PLAYING]

TONY: ¿Dónde está el baño?

ALL [REPEATING]: ¿Dónde está el baño?

TONY: Come on, Angela. Come on, let's go. You might need this.

Hey, what if you're on a long trip--

Huh! --to a foreign land.

You've had a few margaritas, and you can't find the el baño.

ANGELA: I am not speaking to you in any language.

You picked me up and dragged me out of my own house.

TONY: Yeah, you loved it.

[TONY LAUGHS]

[MARIACHI MUSIC PLAYING]

[ALL EXCLAIM]

ANGELA: Hey. Please, would you go? Would you go?

MONA: My goodness, where are you going?

TONY: What's the matter? What's the matter?

ANGELA: Excuse me, sir. Could you tell me where the bathroom is?

MAN [IN SPANISH]: I don't understand.

ANGELA: ¿Dónde está el...?

...Tony!

TONY: It's baño, Angela. Baño.

[MARIACHI MUSIC PLAYING]

Angela?

Angela.

Yeah?

How's this? What?

My postcard to Chad McCann.

Oh.

"Dear Chad, Mexico is great.

Wish you were here. Yours truly, Sam."

It's too pushy, isn't it?

Yeah. You're practically proposing.

[CHUCKLES]

Well, I have to get it right.

It should be friendly, but not too friendly.

And I don't want to say too much.

Well, how's this?

Chad, Mexico. Sam.

[CHUCKLES] Read your book.

I mean, your advertising report.

I mean, your book.

Huh? Hi, Dad.

Hi, guys. Hi.

Angela,

I'm so proud of you. You're not working.

You're reading a novel. How's it feel?

Oh, wonderful. Terrific.

Carefree. Never better.

Aw. What's it about?

What? The book.

Oh!

It's...um...uh...

See, there's this guy. Yeah?

And he...

Well, these weird things, and he does the--

There's this big hill, um...

and it's very hard to explain,

but it's very gripping.

Uh-huh. Well, hey, you sold me.

Hey, can I borrow it when you're done? Yeah.

Mom, don't move.

Sweetheart, I thought you were making a video about lizards.

I am. Isn't he a beaut?

[BOTH SCREAM]

Mom, you scared him away.

Oh, darn.

Don't worry. I'll find him.

Go ahead, kid.

What's this? My bookmark.

Bookmark, huh?

You've been working again, haven't you?

[SIGHS] Well, surf's up!

"Transverse Marketing Strategy: Boon or Bane."

Oh, talk about gripping.

Tony. No, please, please.

Don't tell me how it ends. You'll ruin it for me.

Look, Tony, I don't have to make any excuses.

My work is important to me. Now, please stop badgering me.

Badgering? I'll stop badgering when you start having some fun.

Tony. Tony, give those back to me.

Are you having fun yet?

Yes. Yes, I'm having fun. I'm having the time of my life.

You don't look like it.

Tony! Those are my prescription!

Tony, you hand those over!

What, these? Yes!

These? Yes!

Señora Bower.

Sí.

You have a phone call from Howie in New York.

He says it is muy importante.

Hold it, hold it, hold it.

That's the fourth time he's called.

I'm sick of his muy important phone calls.

You tell him Ms. Bower's on vacation,

and she don't wanna be bothered.

Desk phone? Sí, señora.

Gracias. De nada.

Oh, hey, what about our swim?

Hah.

Listen, you win some, you lose some, eh?

You do win some, don't you?

[CHUCKLES]

How you doing? Hi.

Oh!

[MONA HUMMING]

Hey, Mon. Hey, Ton.

See you later. I have a date with Raul.

Oh, yeah? Where you going, scuba diving?

No. Rumba lessons.

Oh, then what's the spear gun for?

In case Raul gets frisky?

No. In case he doesn't.

Having a great time... Oh. Hi, Tony.

Hi. Hey, look who showed up.

What'd you find a doctor

to surgically remove the phone from your ear? Ha.

All right, Tony.

I have to admit, you were right.

Of course, I was right. I'm always right.

About what?

About all those phone calls.

Howie is making a presentation over lunch,

and he couldn't decide between cold cuts and shrimp salad.

Ha! No contest. Right.

Shrimp salad. Cold cuts.

Shrimp salad is better, isn't it?

No, no, cold cuts are fine. Cold cuts are fine.

And anyway, Madison Avenue is the baloney capital

of the world. Ha, ha,

How could I have told him cold cuts? I'm gonna call him.

Better yet, I'll call the deli. No, no, wait a minute.

Angela, relax. You're being obsessive again.

Sit down. Relax.

Take a look at that view.

Oh. It's beautiful, isn't it?

Forget about advertising for once in your life.

You're right.

Forget about your work,

and come on down to Mexico. Ha, ha.

Yeah.

That would make a great ad for Fiesta Airlines.

[EXCLAIMS]

[♪♪♪]

MAN: In all modesty, Bill,

I believe this campaign will revolutionize

the sale of toilet paper as we know it.

But, hey, I want to know what you think.

I think you're a bozo.

Where is Angela Bower?

Angela-- Uh, she's in Puerto Vallarta

sunning herself.

Oh, wonderful. Just when I need her most.

I'm pumping out 100,000 rolls a day.

With a campaign like this, I'll never get rid of them.

Jim, are you going to buy them.

Well, uh...no.

I only have one and a half baths.

[LAUGHS]

Bill, if you have any problems, I'm sure we can take care of it.

Just tell us what you don't like.

The design, the color scheme, the whole concept.

How are the cold cuts?

You'd think the president would be here

with an eight million dollar account.

Hey, Bill, look. We have a room

full of high powered creative executives.

What do we need Bower for, huh?

Because without her,

you can kiss my toilet paper goodbye.

Oh.

[MARIACHI PLAYING GUITAR]

Oh!

Oh, you're right. This is just beautiful.

Does the sun set at home like this?

Almost every night. Ha.

You're just too busy to see it.

Thank you for making me see it now.

Anytime.

Tony, I...

I want to give you something.

My key.

It's so small.

It's to my briefcase.

Oh, yeah, right. Right, right.

From now on...

...no more work.

No work. I'm gonna have fun.

I'm gonna get down.

I'm gonna boogie oogie oogie

till I just can't boogie no more.

Okay, Angela. Okay.

Whoa!

That's powerful stuff.

What do they call this thing?

Pineapple juice.

[MARIACHI BAND PLAYING]

This-- This is the Mexican Hat Dance.

Let's go, hombre.

No, no, no. Come on.

Angela, please, no. We don't even have a hat.

Thanks a lot, pal.

Hey!

Señor Micelli. Hey, Carlos. ¿Qué pasa?

I have another message from Señor Howie.

He says it is muy importante.

Oh, this guy with his muy important messages.

"We just lost the toilet paper."

Now they're going to have to buy their own, huh?

[LAUGHS]

You will give her the message, eh?

Oh, Carlos, would I forget something as important as this?

Ah, gracias. No problem, baby.

[LAUGHING]

Olé!

Olé!

[MARIACHIS CONTINUE PLAYING]

TONY: Hey!

ALL: ♪ La Cucaracha ♪

TONY: Hey! What a great vacation.

Yeah. Yeah. You know, if I'd had any more fun, I'd be dead.

[LAUGHS]

That's what my scuba instructor said.

[TONY & MONA CHUCKLE]

Well, I really learned something this week.

Before, my life was totally wrapped up in my job.

Now, I have a whole new outlook.

My job is not my life.

My life is my life.

Heavy duty.

Sweetheart. Yes, Mother.

You're leaking. What the...

What the...

Sand.

Well, you told me to pack everything.

I didn't mean Mexico.

What? That's my beach.

I'm going to put it in the backyard.

That's a great idea. You know,

we could have as much fun here as we had in Puerto Vallarta.

Yeah. And we can drink the water, too.

Sweetheart, how would you like

an ocean to go with that beach?

An ocean? With stingrays, jellyfish, and sharks?

No, with a diving board, a float, and chlorine.

A pool? A pool!

Yeah! Angela!

You're going to build a pool? That's terrific!

Hey, Angela. That's expensive.

Oh, Tony. Loosen up.

This is the new Angela.

She knows you need to relax, have fun,

replenish your resources.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna like the new Angela.

I'd better call a pool man

before the old one comes back.

This is going to be great.

Pool parties, pool outfits.

A pool phone.

Come on, Sam. Let's go see where we're going to put the slide.

Let's go see where we're going to put the extension.

Did you see the excitement on their little faces?

Yeah. It's amazing how much happiness

you can buy for 15 grand.

Aw, Tony, Tony. What's the good of earning it

if you can't enjoy it?

You know, I just-- I feel like a changed person.

I owe it all to you.

I'll put it on your tab.

Hey, look. We got some messages.

Oh, that's nice.

See? Old Angela would have rushed

right over to the machine.

But not the new Angela.

You got it.

Well, why don't I check them?

I mean, in case there's a message for the old Tony.

[BOTH LAUGH]

[BEEPS]

HOWIE [FROM MACHINE]: Ang, it's Howie. Where are you?

When are you coming back?

Oh. Do you hear the tension in that voice?

Is that what I used to sound like?

Oh, no, no. You were worse.

HOWIE [CONTINUED]: In case you haven't guessed by now,

the presentation bombed. I'm talking--

[BLOWS RASPBERRY]

He always exaggerates.

Anyway, call me. If I'm not in, call my shrink.

He'll know what bridge I'm jumping from.

Oh.

Do you believe this guy? Now, he needs a vacation.

[CHUCKLES]

[BEEPS]

Hello, Angela? This is Donald Stewart.

Whoa! Listen to this dude. Ha-ha-ha-ha.

He's so tense you could bounce a quarter off him. Bink!

[LAUGHS]

That's not funny.

I thought it was.

Then again, what do I know?

This dude, Donald Stewart, is the chairman of the board.

It's Sunday, 4:17 p.m.

There will be an emergency meeting at 5:30.

Be there.

Oh, I am in big trouble.

Don't hold dinner, and don't wait up.

Where are my car keys? Where's my briefcase?

Where's my business suit? Wait a minute, Angela.

Wait a minute. Just relax. Wait a second here.

No, I can't change. I don't have time. I've got--

I knew I shouldn't have gone away.

It was just stupid. It was irresponsible.

Angela, take it easy. Get a grip on yourself.

You had a right to take a vacation.

It was the wrong time. It's always the wrong time.

But you've got to go away, otherwise you'll burn out.

It's like my grandmother in the old country always used to say.

"Tired chicken's lay stale eggs."

It rhymes in Italian.

You're right.

Oh, I really lost it there for a minute.

It's okay. It's okay. The new Angela is back.

Okay, then, then the new Angela can have these.

[SIGHS] Thank you.

Oh, Tony. I just hope

that we don't lose

that toilet paper account.

Uh, lose the toilet paper?

Yeah, the presentation that went--

[BLOWS RASPBERRY]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[DOOR CLOSES]

Good afternoon, gentlemen.

Well, I'm sure you'd all like to hear about my vacation,

but that'll have to wait until later.

Oh. From uh...Puerto Vallarta to Mount Rushmore.

What's the situation, Donald?

Jim.

Angela, we lost the Super Soft account.

It's all your fault.

My fault?

You told us you'd be available.

I was available. My secretary had my number.

Howie?

I tried to reach you, Ang. I left a message.

I told the guy it was muy importante.

Well, maybe he lost it.

It's Mexico.

They lose things.

Just ask Bank of America.

Jim.

Angela, we're mad at you.

It was the wrong time to go away.

The wrong time, huh?

Well, tell me, when is the right time, Jim?

Well, I'll tell you when the right time is.

[STAMMERS] It's whenever he says it is.

Donald, I'm sorry we lost the account.

But I had the right to take a vacation.

You know what they say about tired chickens.

No. What?

Well...never mind. It rhymes in Italian.

Anyway, people need to be replenished.

It makes them creative and productive

and a whole lot happier.

Angela, with all due respect, I think that's a lame excuse.

Huh! I'll say it is. Shut up, Jim.

I manage to do my job without replenishment.

I never take a vacation, and...I'm a very happy fellow.

Boy, after all that time in Mexico,

it's gonna be great to have a home cooked meal.

So, what are we having? Burritos.

You know, Mona, I don't know what to do.

Well, first you take a tortilla.

Then you put in some beans, and some beef,

and some cheese-- No, Mona.

That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about Angela.

If she loses that account, it's all my fault.

Why?

Because you cared about her?

Because you were concerned about her welfare?

And because you encouraged her

to take a much-needed vacation?

No, because I threw away

a much-needed message from her office.

Oh!

Aw, Mona, Mona.

Mona, when they said they were losing the toilet paper,

I thought they were losing the toilet paper.

I didn't know they meant the account.

I know it sounds stupid now,

but it made a lot of sense on the beach.

Tony, you did the right thing.

No question.

[SIGHS] I'm glad I didn't do it.

Aw, Mona, she was having so much fun dancing, you know?

She ruined a perfectly good sombrero.

But hey, she was happy. You know.

And now, look what happened. Ah, nothing happened.

And nothing's going to happen.

Let me tell you something about Angela.

You know, in many ways, she's awkward.

Well, let's be honest. She's a downright klutz.

[LAUGHS]

But when it comes to her work,

that girl is a pistol.

[IMITATES GUNSHOT]

She gets them every time.

Hi. Hi.

Mm, Dinner sure smells good.

So, what happened? Did you save the account?

No. Actually, in point of fact,

we lost it.

But we did get some things straightened out.

Oh. Well, that's good, right?

Well, of course it is. What did you tell them?

Well, I just laid it all out for them.

I told them that people have to replenish themselves.

And that was the way I was running my life.

And that was the way I was running this company.

And if they didn't like it,

they could get a wimp like Jim Peterson for president.

A wimp! Ah! I love it. I love it. All right, Angela.

Way to hang tough. What'd they say?

Congratulations, Jim.

Angela, you-- You're telling me...you got canned?

No, Tony.

People at my level don't get canned.

I got fired.
