I know your secret. I saw the airline tickets and the note from your new boss. I know you're not working at the Random House in New York. I talked to them.
You're taking the kids and moving to Los Angeles. |

What the heck are you doing reading my mail and snooping around behind my back like some little dishonest.... |

ISABEL
Dishonest? I wouldn't have to snoop around
if you were honest with Luke. |

I'd thought this was the answer to your prayers.
You lose the witch and the two little brats in one
fell swoop. Simplifies things. You get your life back.

Come on. There's plenty of publishing houses in
New York. Surely you can get a job here. |

JACKIE
Oh, so I'm supposed to rearragne my life so that I can accommodate your schedules? If you're so darn concerned, why don't you get a new career?
Why don't you and Luke move to Los Angeles? |

Oh. but you can make plans to rearrange everyone else's life without consulting us? |

Bicoastal parenting. People do it all the time.
Luke gets the kids one month during the summer
and every other holiday.
It's not ideal, but people make it work. |

No, you can't do that! You can't take Luke's
kids away from him. |

We?
Look, if Luke has a problem with this,
then tell him to talk to me.
This is not about you. This is not your problem. |

Because I'm going to marry this man and we're going to share our life together. I love him! His kids are everything to him and he would be devastated not to be near them. |

You guessed the wrong secret.
Charlie Drummond is a colleague of mine from Random House in New York and she moved to the West Coast office and I'm going to be crashing with her while I'm getting protein injections recommended by my oncologist.
You can only get them in Los Angeles. |

Yeah. Life's a tradeoff.
It's finally legal to smoke dope
but you got to have cancer. |
