Devious Nanny

Hi, Emily.

Hey, what's up? How are you?

No.

He is definitely the most

well-adjusted guy I've ever dated.

I know, and the hottest.

No, I'm not worried about her.

Absolutely not.

Emily, I swear, I wouldn't even show up.

Hello? Hello?

Hello? Are you okay?

Is something wrong?

Are you okay?

Hello? Hello?

No, stop.

Uh, Mr. Simon?

Uh, Brian. Yeah.

I'm Amber Deschanel.

I'm so embarrassed.

I was supposed to be here

half an hour ago for my interview.

I got caught in traffic.

Um, I tried calling,

but I just kept getting voicemail.

Uh, we were interviewing other au pairs.

Um, well, I wasn't even going to come

because I couldn't imagine that you would hire someone

that was late for their interview.

But I thought I should at least come

and apologize to you in person.

So...

Um, I apologize.

Uh, um... Hang on a second. Why don't you...

Uh, why don't you come on in?

Are you sure?

Yeah. Yeah, come in.

Miss Simon?

Oh, Elise.

It's so nice to meet you.

Uh, are you from this area?

I am. Uh, well, I am now.

I have an apartment near the hospital.

I just finished an internship there.

Eventually, I'll be going to nursing school.

Nice. Um, well, why don't you come in, take a seat?

You want a glass of water or anything?

Uh, no. No, I'm fine.

So, tell us about yourself.

Uh, I majored in nursing at Southern.

But, to be honest, it's so expensive

that after I graduated,

I thought I would save a little money

and work as an au pair.

I love kids, and it beats waiting tables.

How do you feel about the whole cleaning part of it?

Well, I like kids more than cleaning,

but it still beats waiting tables.

But do you have experience as an au pair?

Oh. Ah, yes, here.

Um...

Great. Thank you.

Uh, last year, I spent six months

with a wonderful family,

down at Coulson Lake. The Falcones.

Unfortunately, the father was transferred to Dallas,

so that was that.

But feel free, please call them.

We were really close.

I was like a member of their family.

Well, um, let's see.

What about, uh, first aid?

I, I do have basic first aid training

of CPR and AED.

I'm also pediatrically and aquatically trained.

And I am certified as an allergy responder.

Most of these certifications I got through the university,

but I've kept them all up to date.

- - Oh.

That's Cody you hear now.

Oh... Um, should I leave?

- Uh... No. - No.

- No. - Just...

Uh, no. Why don't you stay here, and, um...

I'll go get him.

So...

Uh...

Duschanel? Deschanel?

Amber Deschanel.

Deschanel. Is that French?

- It's French-Canadian. - French-Canadian.

Yeah, I was born in Montreal.

Um, but I grew up in Toronto.

I came to the States for college,

and... I don't see myself ever leaving.

But you can never be president.

No, I can never be president.

Uh...

He's adorable.

Cody, this is Amber. Can you say hi?

Nice to meet you, little man.

He's strong.

Oh.

Well, I don't wanna overstay my welcome.

I'm sure you guys want some family time.

To be totally honest with you, you seem like

such a nice family, and I would take really good care of Cody.

If you give me a chance

I'll prove that I'm worth it.

All right. Um...

Let me walk you to the door.

It was really nice to meet you, Mister, um...

- Brian. - Brian.

It was a pleasure, Amber.

Well, Amber, uh,

we've got a lot of candidates that we still need to interview,

but, uh, we've got your number, so...

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Okay.

Okay.

I admit it, I liked her.

No...

you don't have to decide right away.

You can call her references and see what they have to say first.

Yeah, okay.

Maybe...

Maybe, I will, yeah.

What's the matter? You don't seem so happy.

This was your idea, remember?

I know.

I know.

She's pretty.

- Don't you think? - Um...

I mean, she's okay.

Pleasant, I guess.

Little plain Jane looking.

But we're not signing her to a modeling contract,

so it's perfect.

Look, if you're against the idea,

we don't have to go for it.

I'm fine with that.

Okay.

I'll call her references in the morning.

Good.

No?

Nothing.

How long are you gonna punish me for?

- You didn't hear, did you? - Hmm.

I can tell by the look on your face, you didn't hear.

Hear what?

Dude, we got the frickin' Virtue Ed account.

- What? - We got it.

- We got the Virtue Ed account? - We got it.

We got the Virtue Ed account! Whoo!

Whoa! We got...

- We got... - We got it!

- Yeah! - Yes!

Yeah!

When did you hear?

- Come here. - What?

The ice queen came to my office.

She just got off the phone with the chairman and the board,

and press release goes out EOD, baby.

She said she wanted to come tell you next,

but I said I wanted to be the one to tell you.

Bro, I-I just don't believe it.

- I-I mean... - Dude, we are going out tonight.

Polecats, Heartbreakers.

Yes!

Bro, you know what?

I-I gotta call Elise.

Uh, get out.

All right, dude, then, a drink or three

before I go over there to find my new wife.

I gotta call Elise.

What happened to you, man?

You play on those if you want.

Hey, I was just about to call you.

So, listen, I called Amber's references this morning.

- And? - And...

Well, the reviews were, um, glowing.

Basically, every single thing that was on our checklist.

Well, see? I had a good feeling about it.

But forget about that for a second.

I have even bigger news.

We got the Virtue Ed account.

Wait, what?

Wait, that's...

That's huge, isn't it?

Honey, it's enormous!
