Émission TV: Lipstick Jungle - 2x11
Previously on lipstick jungle...
What's going on with you and joe?
He gave me back my business.
As a gift.
Parting gift.
Look, i love owning my business outright, But now that joe and his safety net are gone...
Just if i got a deal like this, It would be a little bit easier to breathe.
You apply to be charlie's foster parent.
And then you would have to make every effort To find the mother, or any immediate family, Before they'd even consider making anything permanent.
We're megan's parents.
We're gonna take megan and the baby Back home to indiana with us.
I'm a lot better when i'm working.
You may not wanna hear this, but i like our arrangement now.
With you at home.
Well, then we need to have a bigger conversation.
'Cause i'm not looking to be a stay-At-Home anything.
Kirby isn't ready.
I mean, not even close.
And what if, when he is ready, i can't?
So if i freeze some eggs...
Are you considering doing that?
I think i might.
What happened?
They came, they saw, i conquered.
You got the deal?
I got the deal.
It's over.
Kirby and i are done.
These are our two choices for the ad.
A or b.
Ready?
Yes.
Wait.
On three, or after three?
After three.
One, two, three.
B.
Yay.
All right, you promise me, though, That you'll be slightly more professional At your marketing meeting.
Why, you don't want me to bring my hello kitty lunchbox?
Oh, i think these ads are great.
Oh, it's sexy, it's lush.
Makes me wanna run home, rip my clothes off, And get right back into bed.
Ooh, shane would love that.
Who?
Oh, him.
I don't think he notices what i wear to bed these days.
Or if i'm even there.
Well, what's going on?
Things still tense?
No, i don't know.
He just won't let it go.
He obviously does not want me to work.
Since when did shane become a caveman?
He's not a caveman, it's just...
We're just getting through a transition period.
It'll work out.
Hey, but you've gotta go to your meeting.
You're gonna be late.
Oh.
Yeah, i should probably go.
Wish me luck.
Luck, luck, luck.
Mwah.
Bye.
Thank you for your help.
Yes.
You look beautiful.
Thank you.
You'll do great.
All right.
It's my turn next.
Hello, dungeon people.
I come bearing gifts.
And by "gifts," i mean bagels.
And my new best friend.
Hey, josie, how you doing?
Do you wanna take ten, mate?
Cool.
I'm gonna grab a smoke.
Sure, sure, sure...
Uh, this is shane healy.
Shane, this is natasha...
Bedingfield, yes.
Absolutely, nice to meet you.
Likewise.
Yeah, i'm a huge fan.
Thanks.
What are you, working next door?
No, josie kidnapped me.
She wanted us to meet in person.
And by the way, the fan club is mutual.
Oh, come on.
So natasha Is going out on tour, And she would like you to join the band.
Me?
That's right.
My keyboard player is taking some time off, Josie played me your demo, and i think it's brilliant.
Wow.
Mm-Hmm.
Okay.
All right. "
Grasp the syringe like a pencil."
Aren't there many different ways to hold a pencil?
Some people Use their index finger.
I don't even get mine involved, actually, Unless i'm using chopsticks.
I should ask the doorman.
I got it.
It's okay.
All right, "inject with a dart-Like motion."
Okay, what if you don't shoot darts?
Wen, i asked you to do this because you're a mom, And i thought you'd be okay with it, And that you wouldn't be squeamish.
Are you gonna be okay with this?
Yes, nico, but you know, I usually put thermometers under my kids' tongues.
I don't inject them with fertility drugs.
Okay, how 'bout this?
How'd that look?
Encouraging.
You are gonna open your eyes When you do it for real, right?
I can do this.
This is not funny.
I can do it, okay?
All right, but if you'll feel more comfortable, There's a cat hospital down the block.
Am i crazy to be going through all this When i'm not even sure i should be having a kid right now?
It's not about right now, nico.
Okay?
You're not crazy.
Freezing your eggs just gives you the option.
Think of it as an insurance policy.
All right?
All right.
You're right.
What's next?
Okay.
Alrighty.
Now...
Show me the upper, outer quadrant of your buttock.
Talk about words i never thought i'd hear you say.
Come on.
Back it on up, sister.
I absolutely love it.
Oh, i'm so glad.
The baron brothers do too.
And, of course, it's my favorite.
But we wanted you to have options.
Well, we don't need options.
Where're we gonna run this ad?
Uh, we thought we'd concentrate our ad buys In the high-End trades.
And we wanna branch out internationally.
Have you heard of pascal dangin?
We wanna bring him aboard.
Um...
In...
in new york?
I'm sorry, what?
I...
I asked if you'd heard of pascal dangin.
Oh, um, no.
No.
He's a terrific airbrusher.
Best in the city.
Sorry.
Oh, man.
Can you excuse me for just a second?
Yeah.
Hello, joe.
Hello.
Didn't expect to see you here.
Well, they're doing renovation on my place, So i've taken a room till the scaffolding's down.
Stuart raines, victory ford.
Victory and i used to do a little business together.
Nice to meet you.
Yeah, you too.
So how are you?
Good.
Yourself?
Great.
Good.
I just started a home furnishing line.
So bed linens, curtains, washcloths...
Well, we're debating washcloths.
Well, it sounds like things are going well.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Listen, if you, um, get some time...
Obviously not now...
Um, i'd love to talk to you.
Sure.
Why don't you call ellyn.
She'll set something up.
Take care, victory.
Yeah, you too.
Nice to meet you, stuart.
My pleasure.
Hi.
Sorry.
I apologize for that.
No, no, it was good.
It was good.
It gave me a chance to catch up with an old, um...
colleague.
So this ad.
Are we thinking of using a model, or a...
a celebrity?
For what?
For the...
for the woman in the bed.
If you think that using a celebrity Would be too distracting.
Oh, um...
I'm sorry, was...
was this not clear?
Was what not clear?
In the actual campaign, The model would be you, victory.
Me?
As the...
the...
The naked lady in the bed.
Nude.
Me.
Read my lips ?
Be all that you can be ?
Make a difference ?
Give your dreams to me ?
No time for sleeping ?
There's too much to do ?
Don't you forget that ?
We do what we want to do ?
Let's get nuts ?
Let's make some money ?
Ooh, ooh ?
Take your shirt off, honey ?
Let's freak out ?
Ooh, ooh ?
Won't be sorry, charlie ?
Read my lips ?
I mean, why would i do that?
Why would i objectify myself just to sell bed linens?
To sell bed linens.
To tie your image to your brand.
I mean, look at martha stewart.
She's very smart, she put herself all over there.
Not naked.
Well, we never saw the prison calendar.
Am i the only one at this table Who thinks this is blatant exploitation?
You didn't think it was exploitation When it was somebody else on those sheets.
Well, i don't know that somebody else.
Maybe her parents are dead.
Maybe she doesn't have a girl scout medal That can be taken away from her.
Victory, you design clothes that show More flesh than is gonna be seen in those ads.
You know what, get them to hire a body double.
That way they can photoshop your face onto someone else's body.
Why would i do that?
Then everyone thinks i'm hiding something.
Plus, they'd still be looking at me.
...
and judging.
Trust me, honey, they're not gonna be judging.
Be envying, not judging.
I just would feel so vulnerable, and i hate vulnerable.
Are we gonna order dessert?
Why are you changing the subject?
Because cheesecake is a reality.
Your posing is a fantasy.
It's never gonna happen.
You have a nudity hang-Up.
Excuse me?
You wear your bathing suit in the sauna.
That's a germ hang-Up.
Well, you never shower in the gym.
Because i have better water pressure at home.
That...
guys...
Honey, in all the years that we've been friends, I've never seen you naked.
Have you ever seen her naked?
No.
I've seen you naked.
I've seen you naked too.
...
and cue porn music.
You know what?
Fine, fine, it's fine.
It's fine.
So i'm a prude because i don't want to shed my clothes In front of some strange, creepy photographer.
Well, then hire someone you know.
How 'bout kirby?
You'd be okay with that?
Yeah, i'd be fine.
I mean, they're friends and they've worked together.
And besides, he's really talented.
Thank you.
And he needs the work.
Is that supposed to make it less scary?
Honey, you know what, If this is gonna drive you insane, then just let it go.
But if you want people to buy what you're selling, Then they have to trust you.
They have to believe that you sleep in these sheets yourself.
So that when they get into their bed, They feel that they're closer to being victory ford.
Really.
Why?
It's such a cold and lonely bed.
I bumped into joe this morning.
What was that like?
Cold.
Lonely.
Did you tell him everything that you needed to?
It wasn't the place or the time.
Truth is i caved.
Maybe you just weren't ready.
I think i'm just...
Afraid.
Or you could do that today.
I mean, that's always a good choice too.
Hi.
'Scuse me.
Hey.
When you have a chance, look these over.
See if any of the candidates jump out at you.
What position are we trying to fill?
Head of bonfire's online content.
I'm head of bonfire's online content.
As it's currently conceived.
Oh, i'm sorry.
Did i miss the "dear nico, we're reconceiving The online content" memo?
There was no memo, i just think we need someone To do this job full-Time with no other distractions.
I can handle it.
This one was my assistant.
She eats her hair.
That might've had something to do with working for you.
She also writes a blog that gets 50,000 hits a day.
I want our website To be a daily destination.
All right, well, Give me a month, and let me work on it, And if you're still not happy, You can interview the hair eater.

Oh, come on.
I do have a say, don't i?
Yeah, but you know, i don't recall you consulting me Every time you jet off to a movie set, wendy.
Well, i never left for more than two weeks.
You're talking about four months.
Cumulatively, you were gone for more than four months.
Oh, so now we're taking attendance.
No, no, we don't have to.
We just don't have to do that, wendy.
We've got two children, And you think it would be An unreasonable amount of time for me to be away.
We're talking about four months, shane.
In god knows how many different time zones.
What's going on with you?
Two weeks ago, you tell me you wanna have another baby.
Yeah, and you kicked that one out Just as fast as you could, didn't you?
No, i questioned it.
And it's a good thing i did.
You thinking of taking off the first chance you get.
Look, shane, i know that this tour is tempting, And it's very flattering, Oh, finally, some words of encouragement.
When have i not encouraged you?
This afternoon, you poisoned the offer Before you could even take a second to be happy for me.
Well, i didn't poison anything.
Yeah, you did.
Right away, you went to why it couldn't work.
Oh, well, i'm sorry i didn't have the perfect response.
Why don't you write me a script the next time?
Yeah.
I will.
And when that script shoots in new zealand For ten months and you have to pack up and bugger off, And we have to watch you on web cam...
I have never left this family for ten months.
And i certainly wouldn't do it without consulting you.
What if i got a phone call tomorrow, huh?
Offering me a job in los angeles.
I wouldn't expect you to jump up and down with delight.
Damn sure to get more out of me than i get out of you.
I mean, wendy, i'm not asking for much.
It's pretty basic.
I'd just like a smile.
Congratulations.
Just something.
Okay, you know what, this whole tour thing, It came at me outta the blue.
You sure that's what it is?
What is that supposed to mean?
Well, it's gotta mean something Otherwise you wouldn't have said it.
Let's face it, wendy.
It was better for you when i was Someone you had to take care of, wasn't it?
Oh, god, if you honestly believe that, Then we've got a serious problem.
And maybe we do.
Oh!
Oh, miss ford!
I'm so sorry, i thought you were gone for the night.
No, no, it's okay.
It's all right.
I was just, uh...
no.
None of my business.
I'm, uh...
I'll just go upstairs.
No, don't, don't go upstairs.
I...
need to ask you a question.
I didn't see anything.
Honestly.
No, another question.
But that's...
That's good.
Would you consider me a bold person?
Your designs are bold.
Roy.
There is nothing wrong with being a cautious person.
I think sometimes it stops us from getting into trouble.
Yeah, but...
Sometimes it stops us from getting what we want.
Salty lunch?
No, it's just really warm in here.
He's still stuck in traffic, but close.
Thank you.
Yeah, let's hope he's better at negotiating web traffic.
They're tearing up 57th street.

Son of my college buddy's.
Is this a maybelline campaign?
It's so hot in here.
Are you feeling feverish?

There's no air in here.
Aren't you hot?
No, i'm comfortable.
Is everything okay?

I thought this would be A good idea since we know each other, But i...
I made a mistake.
This is...
this is totally weird.
Okay, you know...
you...
you doing this.
I can set up and stacy could take the pictures.
Who's stacy?
She's the woman in the back sharpening the eyebrow pencil.
Okay, i get it.
Breathe.
'Yello.
Uh, yeah.
Hold on one second.
Shane?
Yeah.
It's your wife.
My wife.
Hello.
Look, taylor's teacher Just called and she wants us to come in for a meeting.
Why?
There is something that happened today at school, And she's concerned.
Well, is taylor okay?
Yeah, he's fine.
He's in class.
But there's a behavioral issue.
Those are her words.
I don't know, she wouldn't elaborate on the phone, Which makes me think that it's something serious.
When?
Today at 4:00.
Today?
You know i can't do that.
The cut is due on friday.
I've told you that, darling.
You're gonna have to call her back And see if you can push it to next week.
You want me to "push" taylor's teacher?
Okay, look, i'll...
i'll...
i'll try to be there.
I've gotta get back to work now, though.
All right?
Thanks.
Bye.
Yeah.
Hey, hey!
Call 911.
Nico.
Hi, wen.
Um, hi.
Uh, you know that shane's at the recording studio.
Oh, yeah, i came to see you.
Really, i'm...
i'm actually doing fine.
I was not about to leave you in that hospital by yourself.
And i can go back to work.
I am really feeling great now.
They said you need to rest.
That was not gonna happen on your office couch.
So you know what's happening now?
You are laying down.
Okay.
Laying down.
I'm good.
There you go.
You hungry?
I could order something.
I'm fine, thanks.
Want some raisins?
That's what you got out of the vending machine?
Raisins?
I was at the hospital, i thought i should go healthy.
I take it it's a no on the raisins?
Fine.
Uh, how 'bout some tea?
I can make you some tea.
I'm going to make you some tea.
It's on the second shelf...
I can find it.
Did i ever tell you that my ex-Boyfriend is a musician?
No, i don't think so.
So over the last few years of our relationship, He was, um, on the road a lot, And it was just...
Fun and exciting.
When i wasn't with him, We would just do everything over the phone.
You know, it was great.
We bought a condo on the phone, We picked out sofas...
We had amazing phone sex.
Josie...
Then i asked him to come back here to new york city.
He would say that i clipped his wings.
I don't know, maybe i did.
I just felt scared, you know?
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
We broke up anyway.
There was just too much resentment once he got back.
Well, i'm really sorry that didn't work out.
Thanks.
But turning down the tour, That was a decision that shane and i came to together.
As a couple.
No, i'm just saying...
What?
Isn't this something he's always wanted to do?
Okay, you know what?
I think you're overstepping a little here.
Oh.
Wen, i'm...
His manager, so i just...
You know, it's my job to look out For his best interests as an artist.
Well, jose, i'm his wife, And it's my job to look out for his best interests Period.
So if you don't mind, i've gotta get back to work.
Thank you for the cupcakes.
Okay.
Call me.
Okay.
Okay.
That's a wrap.
What...
are you sure you got everything you need?
Because i'm not tired, if we need more options.
We got options for our options.
We're done.
You killed it.
Thanks, kirby.
It just escalated very quickly.
One second there was a small shove, And the next minute, He was on top of finn, throwing punches.
Finn?
But they're best friends.
I've never seen them fight.
There is something going on with taylor.
He's picking fights unprovoked.
Are you sure?
I mean, you know, he...
he's...
Wendy, let's not argue with her.
I'm not arguing with her, i'm just surprised.
I haven't noticed anything at home.
Well, it's not unusual.
Often when children act out, they do it at school.
Has anything changed recently at home?
Well, yes, um, Shane's recently just started working full-Time.
She asked what's changed.
That's not a reason why taylor Would be pummeling his best friend.
No, we don't know what caused it, do we?
Mr.
And mrs.
Healy...
You know what, maybe it's because his mother said She was gonna stop work recently Because she would better spend more time at home.
But she's actually started loading up with projects again.
That could be it.
Shane...
Tossing out ideas.
Clearly there are some new issues at home, And i'm concerned about how they're impacting taylor.
Yeah.
You know...
i'm so sorry, mrs.
Greene, We've just been under a little stress lately.
So we'll work it out.
Maybe you wanna let taylor know that?
Of course.
Here we go.
Oh, wow.
You need some sugar.
No, that's perfect.
Yeah?
Thank you.
Look...
I overhead the paramedics talking to you About your fertility procedure...
You know what, just so you know, Um, i'm just freezing some of my eggs In case i wanna have a child.
But i'm...
i'm not having a baby now, And i don't have any immediate plans...
Nico.
Uh, and the fainting won't happen again.
Um, my ovaries are overstimulated, But my medications Have since been adjusted, so i'm good.
So even your ovaries are overachievers, huh?
Uh, when is the retrieval?
Wow, that's very clinical of you.
I had friends that went through it last year.
They now have a beautiful little girl.
Her name is maisy.
Hmm.
Next thursday.
Hey, hey.
I'm sorry, did...
No, no, i'm just, um...
I'm bursting with estrogen, And, um, this keeps happening to me.
It's a...
just ignore me.
I just never thought that i would be doing this alone.
Leave it.
I'll get it later.
Later, you had better be asleep.
You want this last spring roll?
No, i'm done.
Thank you for babysitting me.
I'm sure you had better things to do tonight.
Not really.
I would've been sitting on my couch instead of yours Watching game highlights.
And actually, Your couch is much more comfortable than mine.
Where is your couch?
I mean where do you live?
81st and fifth.
The stanhope.
Are you kidding me?
That's three blocks from here.
What, you wanna carpool?
Carpool.
That what you're hinting at?
I don't wanna carpool.
I just...
i love that building.
I've always wanted to live there.
Yeah, the building is great, But i could be living in a hotel.
Basically, i use two rooms.
Never there.
Yeah.
This is a lotta space for one person too.
Why're you still single?
No, i mean, not that it's any of my business, But since you've become Intimately acquainted with my ovaries, I figured i could ask.
Uh, i was married.
For seven years.
Really?
You have children?
No.
I wasn't at home in chicago either.
Every job i've had since business school Has kept me moving.
Moving up very fast.
But not without some collateral damage.
Do you still speak with your ex?
Christmas cards.
Jonell remarried about three years ago.
She's got two beautiful kids.
And i've got a beautiful job.
Well, if it's any consolation, You have a really beautiful job.
I have spent years lusting after your job.
I've done plenty of that, But jonell would tell you, don't do what i did.
Don't waste your lust on a job.
You should definitely hire someone For that new media position.
If today is any indication, I have been overextending myself, And i need to prioritize.
You sure?
Yes.
I am.
Okay.
I should get going.
Highlight reel starts again at 10:00.
Thank you for everything.
It's my pleasure.
I should probably get going.
Yeah.
Good night.
I'll let myself out.
So what should we start with, huh?
Three at sea?
I want daddy to read that one.
Okay.
You know, daddy might not be home till very late.
How 'bout instead of reading we just talk?
How is everything with you and finn these days?
Teacher said you guys had a fight during lunch.
What was the fight about?
I want daddy to read this one too.
Honey, you can tell me.
Daddy!
Hey, you.
Come here.
Will you read to me in bed?
Uh, yeah, sure, but i just got in, So why don't you ask mum If she would do it for you?
He wants you.
Hello.
Uh, hello.
What're you doing here?
Just fixing the perfect martini.
Minus the vermouth.
That would make it imperfect.
Why don't you taste it first?
So i wanna talk about what happened with us.
I'd really rather not rehash that, if you don't mind.
Well, that's not fair, joe.
I mean, you pulled up in your limo And you got to say what you wanted to say, But i never got to say what i wanted to say.
So...
That night, at my store opening, I thanked rodrigo instead of you, And i know now why i did that.
To say out loud How important you are to me, That would've made me feel really...
Exposed.
But i'm getting a lot better with that these days, So i came here to say two things to you.
I'm sorry.
And two: Thank you.
Thank you for everything that you've done for me.
You're welcome.
Wait, three: I would've said yes.
To your proposal.
I woulda said yes.
May i say something?
I, uh...
i thought you were at the studio all day.
Yeah.
I am.
I'm on my way out now.
Did you get any sleep last night?
Not much.
I, uh, ducked into the bedroom as soon as the kids got up.
Did you talk to taylor?
I did.
He wanted to know if one of us was gonna move out.
I guess 'cause of finn's parents splitting up.
I told him we were fine.
Huh.
Is that a problem?
Well, i'm not so sure we are.
What?
Fine.
I think that we should, um, See somebody.
A marriage counselor.
Fine.
I've gotta get a move on.
You gonna be home for dinner?
Yeah, i'll try.
Hey, you.
Hi.
Sleep well?
Oh, those sheets are made of clouds.
I'm ripping them off for my line.
They used them at the burg al arab in dubai.
I had them shipped in.
So in other words, Out of my customers' price point?
Damn.
Do you have some place you have to be?
Lunch meeting in boston.
Sorry to be rude, But i made the arrangements Before i knew you would be stopping by.
Stop smirking.
You missed this smirk.
Admit it.
Haven't i admitted enough?
Have a nice breakfast.
So...
What are we now?
A day older?
Anna, stop.
Anna, anna.
Anna, stop.
Anna, stop.
Anna, anna.
I can't.
I can't just run off.
Whose life is it, anna, yours or your fathers?
It's not that simple.
Please, don't make me choose.
Let me be your family.
Okay, we should stop there.
That's enough.
We're done.
You are a genius.
Stop it.
I don't use that term loosely.
This score adds so much.
Uh, todd, can you excuse us for a minute please, mate?
Thanks.
So, uh.
So.
Listen, we...
we should talk.
Yeah, you want to do that right now?
Well, better do it sooner than later.
Shane, listen, the only reason why i went to wendy Is because i feel so strongly about this job for you.
I know.
That's why i want you to call natasha bedingfield.
Tell her i'm in.
Uh, oh.
You passed out at work?
I got carried off in a stretcher On the 27
What's going on with you and joe?
He gave me back my business.
As a gift.
Parting gift.
Look, i love owning my business outright, But now that joe and his safety net are gone...
Just if i got a deal like this, It would be a little bit easier to breathe.
You apply to be charlie's foster parent.
And then you would have to make every effort To find the mother, or any immediate family, Before they'd even consider making anything permanent.
We're megan's parents.
We're gonna take megan and the baby Back home to indiana with us.
I'm a lot better when i'm working.
You may not wanna hear this, but i like our arrangement now.
With you at home.
Well, then we need to have a bigger conversation.
'Cause i'm not looking to be a stay-At-Home anything.
Kirby isn't ready.
I mean, not even close.
And what if, when he is ready, i can't?
So if i freeze some eggs...
Are you considering doing that?
I think i might.
What happened?
They came, they saw, i conquered.
You got the deal?
I got the deal.
It's over.
Kirby and i are done.
These are our two choices for the ad.
A or b.
Ready?
Yes.
Wait.
On three, or after three?
After three.
One, two, three.
B.
Yay.
All right, you promise me, though, That you'll be slightly more professional At your marketing meeting.
Why, you don't want me to bring my hello kitty lunchbox?
Oh, i think these ads are great.
Oh, it's sexy, it's lush.
Makes me wanna run home, rip my clothes off, And get right back into bed.
Ooh, shane would love that.
Who?
Oh, him.
I don't think he notices what i wear to bed these days.
Or if i'm even there.
Well, what's going on?
Things still tense?
No, i don't know.
He just won't let it go.
He obviously does not want me to work.
Since when did shane become a caveman?
He's not a caveman, it's just...
We're just getting through a transition period.
It'll work out.
Hey, but you've gotta go to your meeting.
You're gonna be late.
Oh.
Yeah, i should probably go.
Wish me luck.
Luck, luck, luck.
Mwah.
Bye.
Thank you for your help.
Yes.
You look beautiful.
Thank you.
You'll do great.
All right.
It's my turn next.
Hello, dungeon people.
I come bearing gifts.
And by "gifts," i mean bagels.
And my new best friend.
Hey, josie, how you doing?
Do you wanna take ten, mate?
Cool.
I'm gonna grab a smoke.
Sure, sure, sure...
Uh, this is shane healy.
Shane, this is natasha...
Bedingfield, yes.
Absolutely, nice to meet you.
Likewise.
Yeah, i'm a huge fan.
Thanks.
What are you, working next door?
No, josie kidnapped me.
She wanted us to meet in person.
And by the way, the fan club is mutual.
Oh, come on.
So natasha Is going out on tour, And she would like you to join the band.
Me?
That's right.
My keyboard player is taking some time off, Josie played me your demo, and i think it's brilliant.
Wow.
Mm-Hmm.
Okay.
All right. "
Grasp the syringe like a pencil."
Aren't there many different ways to hold a pencil?
Some people Use their index finger.
I don't even get mine involved, actually, Unless i'm using chopsticks.
I should ask the doorman.
I got it.
It's okay.
All right, "inject with a dart-Like motion."
Okay, what if you don't shoot darts?
Wen, i asked you to do this because you're a mom, And i thought you'd be okay with it, And that you wouldn't be squeamish.
Are you gonna be okay with this?
Yes, nico, but you know, I usually put thermometers under my kids' tongues.
I don't inject them with fertility drugs.
Okay, how 'bout this?
How'd that look?
Encouraging.
You are gonna open your eyes When you do it for real, right?
I can do this.
This is not funny.
I can do it, okay?
All right, but if you'll feel more comfortable, There's a cat hospital down the block.
Am i crazy to be going through all this When i'm not even sure i should be having a kid right now?
It's not about right now, nico.
Okay?
You're not crazy.
Freezing your eggs just gives you the option.
Think of it as an insurance policy.
All right?
All right.
You're right.
What's next?
Okay.
Alrighty.
Now...
Show me the upper, outer quadrant of your buttock.
Talk about words i never thought i'd hear you say.
Come on.
Back it on up, sister.
I absolutely love it.
Oh, i'm so glad.
The baron brothers do too.
And, of course, it's my favorite.
But we wanted you to have options.
Well, we don't need options.
Where're we gonna run this ad?
Uh, we thought we'd concentrate our ad buys In the high-End trades.
And we wanna branch out internationally.
Have you heard of pascal dangin?
We wanna bring him aboard.
Um...
In...
in new york?
I'm sorry, what?
I...
I asked if you'd heard of pascal dangin.
Oh, um, no.
No.
He's a terrific airbrusher.
Best in the city.
Sorry.
Oh, man.
Can you excuse me for just a second?
Yeah.
Hello, joe.
Hello.
Didn't expect to see you here.
Well, they're doing renovation on my place, So i've taken a room till the scaffolding's down.
Stuart raines, victory ford.
Victory and i used to do a little business together.
Nice to meet you.
Yeah, you too.
So how are you?
Good.
Yourself?
Great.
Good.
I just started a home furnishing line.
So bed linens, curtains, washcloths...
Well, we're debating washcloths.
Well, it sounds like things are going well.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Listen, if you, um, get some time...
Obviously not now...
Um, i'd love to talk to you.
Sure.
Why don't you call ellyn.
She'll set something up.
Take care, victory.
Yeah, you too.
Nice to meet you, stuart.
My pleasure.
Hi.
Sorry.
I apologize for that.
No, no, it was good.
It was good.
It gave me a chance to catch up with an old, um...
colleague.
So this ad.
Are we thinking of using a model, or a...
a celebrity?
For what?
For the...
for the woman in the bed.
If you think that using a celebrity Would be too distracting.
Oh, um...
I'm sorry, was...
was this not clear?
Was what not clear?
In the actual campaign, The model would be you, victory.
Me?
As the...
the...
The naked lady in the bed.
Nude.
Me.
Read my lips ?
Be all that you can be ?
Make a difference ?
Give your dreams to me ?
No time for sleeping ?
There's too much to do ?
Don't you forget that ?
We do what we want to do ?
Let's get nuts ?
Let's make some money ?
Ooh, ooh ?
Take your shirt off, honey ?
Let's freak out ?
Ooh, ooh ?
Won't be sorry, charlie ?
Read my lips ?
I mean, why would i do that?
Why would i objectify myself just to sell bed linens?
To sell bed linens.
To tie your image to your brand.
I mean, look at martha stewart.
She's very smart, she put herself all over there.
Not naked.
Well, we never saw the prison calendar.
Am i the only one at this table Who thinks this is blatant exploitation?
You didn't think it was exploitation When it was somebody else on those sheets.
Well, i don't know that somebody else.
Maybe her parents are dead.
Maybe she doesn't have a girl scout medal That can be taken away from her.
Victory, you design clothes that show More flesh than is gonna be seen in those ads.
You know what, get them to hire a body double.
That way they can photoshop your face onto someone else's body.
Why would i do that?
Then everyone thinks i'm hiding something.
Plus, they'd still be looking at me.
...
and judging.
Trust me, honey, they're not gonna be judging.
Be envying, not judging.
I just would feel so vulnerable, and i hate vulnerable.
Are we gonna order dessert?
Why are you changing the subject?
Because cheesecake is a reality.
Your posing is a fantasy.
It's never gonna happen.
You have a nudity hang-Up.
Excuse me?
You wear your bathing suit in the sauna.
That's a germ hang-Up.
Well, you never shower in the gym.
Because i have better water pressure at home.
That...
guys...
Honey, in all the years that we've been friends, I've never seen you naked.
Have you ever seen her naked?
No.
I've seen you naked.
I've seen you naked too.
...
and cue porn music.
You know what?
Fine, fine, it's fine.
It's fine.
So i'm a prude because i don't want to shed my clothes In front of some strange, creepy photographer.
Well, then hire someone you know.
How 'bout kirby?
You'd be okay with that?
Yeah, i'd be fine.
I mean, they're friends and they've worked together.
And besides, he's really talented.
Thank you.
And he needs the work.
Is that supposed to make it less scary?
Honey, you know what, If this is gonna drive you insane, then just let it go.
But if you want people to buy what you're selling, Then they have to trust you.
They have to believe that you sleep in these sheets yourself.
So that when they get into their bed, They feel that they're closer to being victory ford.
Really.
Why?
It's such a cold and lonely bed.
I bumped into joe this morning.
What was that like?
Cold.
Lonely.
Did you tell him everything that you needed to?
It wasn't the place or the time.
Truth is i caved.
Maybe you just weren't ready.
I think i'm just...
Afraid.
Or you could do that today.
I mean, that's always a good choice too.
Hi.
'Scuse me.
Hey.
When you have a chance, look these over.
See if any of the candidates jump out at you.
What position are we trying to fill?
Head of bonfire's online content.
I'm head of bonfire's online content.
As it's currently conceived.
Oh, i'm sorry.
Did i miss the "dear nico, we're reconceiving The online content" memo?
There was no memo, i just think we need someone To do this job full-Time with no other distractions.
I can handle it.
This one was my assistant.
She eats her hair.
That might've had something to do with working for you.
She also writes a blog that gets 50,000 hits a day.
I want our website To be a daily destination.
All right, well, Give me a month, and let me work on it, And if you're still not happy, You can interview the hair eater.

Appreciate the permission.
Oh, come on.
I do have a say, don't i?
Yeah, but you know, i don't recall you consulting me Every time you jet off to a movie set, wendy.
Well, i never left for more than two weeks.
You're talking about four months.
Cumulatively, you were gone for more than four months.
Oh, so now we're taking attendance.
No, no, we don't have to.
We just don't have to do that, wendy.
We've got two children, And you think it would be An unreasonable amount of time for me to be away.
We're talking about four months, shane.
In god knows how many different time zones.
What's going on with you?
Two weeks ago, you tell me you wanna have another baby.
Yeah, and you kicked that one out Just as fast as you could, didn't you?
No, i questioned it.
And it's a good thing i did.
You thinking of taking off the first chance you get.
Look, shane, i know that this tour is tempting, And it's very flattering, Oh, finally, some words of encouragement.
When have i not encouraged you?
This afternoon, you poisoned the offer Before you could even take a second to be happy for me.
Well, i didn't poison anything.
Yeah, you did.
Right away, you went to why it couldn't work.
Oh, well, i'm sorry i didn't have the perfect response.
Why don't you write me a script the next time?
Yeah.
I will.
And when that script shoots in new zealand For ten months and you have to pack up and bugger off, And we have to watch you on web cam...
I have never left this family for ten months.
And i certainly wouldn't do it without consulting you.
What if i got a phone call tomorrow, huh?
Offering me a job in los angeles.
I wouldn't expect you to jump up and down with delight.
Damn sure to get more out of me than i get out of you.
I mean, wendy, i'm not asking for much.
It's pretty basic.
I'd just like a smile.
Congratulations.
Just something.
Okay, you know what, this whole tour thing, It came at me outta the blue.
You sure that's what it is?
What is that supposed to mean?
Well, it's gotta mean something Otherwise you wouldn't have said it.
Let's face it, wendy.
It was better for you when i was Someone you had to take care of, wasn't it?
Oh, god, if you honestly believe that, Then we've got a serious problem.
And maybe we do.
Oh!
Oh, miss ford!
I'm so sorry, i thought you were gone for the night.
No, no, it's okay.
It's all right.
I was just, uh...
no.
None of my business.
I'm, uh...
I'll just go upstairs.
No, don't, don't go upstairs.
I...
need to ask you a question.
I didn't see anything.
Honestly.
No, another question.
But that's...
That's good.
Would you consider me a bold person?
Your designs are bold.
Roy.
There is nothing wrong with being a cautious person.
I think sometimes it stops us from getting into trouble.
Yeah, but...
Sometimes it stops us from getting what we want.
Salty lunch?
No, it's just really warm in here.
He's still stuck in traffic, but close.
Thank you.
Yeah, let's hope he's better at negotiating web traffic.
They're tearing up 57th street.
Cut him some slack.
What, is this guy related to you?
Son of my college buddy's.
Is this a maybelline campaign?
It's so hot in here.
Are you feeling feverish?
No, it's just...
I don't know, i need some air.
There's no air in here.
Aren't you hot?
No, i'm comfortable.
Is everything okay?
You wanna take some aspirin?
I don't need to take any aspirin.

I made a mistake.
This is...
this is totally weird.
Okay, you know...

Who's stacy?
She's the woman in the back sharpening the eyebrow pencil.

'Yello.
Uh, yeah.
Hold on one second.
Shane?
Yeah.
It's your wife.
My wife.
Hello.
Look, taylor's teacher Just called and she wants us to come in for a meeting.
Why?
There is something that happened today at school, And she's concerned.
Well, is taylor okay?
Yeah, he's fine.
He's in class.
But there's a behavioral issue.
Those are her words.
I don't know, she wouldn't elaborate on the phone, Which makes me think that it's something serious.
When?
Today at 4:00.
Today?
You know i can't do that.
The cut is due on friday.
I've told you that, darling.
You're gonna have to call her back And see if you can push it to next week.
You want me to "push" taylor's teacher?
Okay, look, i'll...
i'll...
i'll try to be there.
I've gotta get back to work now, though.
All right?
Thanks.
Bye.
Yeah.
Hey, hey!
Call 911.
Nico.
Hi, wen.
Um, hi.
Uh, you know that shane's at the recording studio.
Oh, yeah, i came to see you.
Really, i'm...
i'm actually doing fine.
I was not about to leave you in that hospital by yourself.
And i can go back to work.
I am really feeling great now.
They said you need to rest.
That was not gonna happen on your office couch.
So you know what's happening now?
You are laying down.
Okay.
Laying down.
I'm good.
There you go.
You hungry?
I could order something.
I'm fine, thanks.
Want some raisins?
That's what you got out of the vending machine?
Raisins?
I was at the hospital, i thought i should go healthy.
I take it it's a no on the raisins?
Fine.
Uh, how 'bout some tea?
I can make you some tea.
I'm going to make you some tea.
It's on the second shelf...
I can find it.
Did i ever tell you that my ex-Boyfriend is a musician?
No, i don't think so.
So over the last few years of our relationship, He was, um, on the road a lot, And it was just...
Fun and exciting.
When i wasn't with him, We would just do everything over the phone.
You know, it was great.
We bought a condo on the phone, We picked out sofas...
We had amazing phone sex.
Josie...
Then i asked him to come back here to new york city.
He would say that i clipped his wings.
I don't know, maybe i did.
I just felt scared, you know?
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
We broke up anyway.
There was just too much resentment once he got back.
Well, i'm really sorry that didn't work out.
Thanks.
But turning down the tour, That was a decision that shane and i came to together.
As a couple.
No, i'm just saying...
What?
Isn't this something he's always wanted to do?
Okay, you know what?
I think you're overstepping a little here.
Oh.
Wen, i'm...
His manager, so i just...
You know, it's my job to look out For his best interests as an artist.
Well, jose, i'm his wife, And it's my job to look out for his best interests Period.
So if you don't mind, i've gotta get back to work.
Thank you for the cupcakes.
Okay.
Call me.
Okay.
Okay.
That's a wrap.
What...
are you sure you got everything you need?
Because i'm not tired, if we need more options.
We got options for our options.
We're done.
You killed it.
Thanks, kirby.
It just escalated very quickly.
One second there was a small shove, And the next minute, He was on top of finn, throwing punches.
Finn?
But they're best friends.
I've never seen them fight.
There is something going on with taylor.
He's picking fights unprovoked.
Are you sure?
I mean, you know, he...
he's...
Wendy, let's not argue with her.
I'm not arguing with her, i'm just surprised.
I haven't noticed anything at home.
Well, it's not unusual.
Often when children act out, they do it at school.
Has anything changed recently at home?
Well, yes, um, Shane's recently just started working full-Time.
She asked what's changed.
That's not a reason why taylor Would be pummeling his best friend.
No, we don't know what caused it, do we?
Mr.
And mrs.
Healy...
You know what, maybe it's because his mother said She was gonna stop work recently Because she would better spend more time at home.
But she's actually started loading up with projects again.
That could be it.
Shane...
Tossing out ideas.
Clearly there are some new issues at home, And i'm concerned about how they're impacting taylor.
Yeah.
You know...
i'm so sorry, mrs.
Greene, We've just been under a little stress lately.
So we'll work it out.
Maybe you wanna let taylor know that?
Of course.
Here we go.
Oh, wow.
You need some sugar.
No, that's perfect.
Yeah?
Thank you.
Look...
I overhead the paramedics talking to you About your fertility procedure...
You know what, just so you know, Um, i'm just freezing some of my eggs In case i wanna have a child.
But i'm...
i'm not having a baby now, And i don't have any immediate plans...
Nico.
Uh, and the fainting won't happen again.
Um, my ovaries are overstimulated, But my medications Have since been adjusted, so i'm good.
So even your ovaries are overachievers, huh?
Uh, when is the retrieval?
Wow, that's very clinical of you.
I had friends that went through it last year.
They now have a beautiful little girl.
Her name is maisy.
Hmm.
Next thursday.
Hey, hey.
I'm sorry, did...
No, no, i'm just, um...
I'm bursting with estrogen, And, um, this keeps happening to me.
It's a...
just ignore me.
I just never thought that i would be doing this alone.
Leave it.
I'll get it later.
Later, you had better be asleep.
You want this last spring roll?
No, i'm done.
Thank you for babysitting me.
I'm sure you had better things to do tonight.
Not really.
I would've been sitting on my couch instead of yours Watching game highlights.
And actually, Your couch is much more comfortable than mine.
Where is your couch?
I mean where do you live?
81st and fifth.
The stanhope.
Are you kidding me?
That's three blocks from here.
What, you wanna carpool?
Carpool.
That what you're hinting at?
I don't wanna carpool.
I just...
i love that building.
I've always wanted to live there.
Yeah, the building is great, But i could be living in a hotel.
Basically, i use two rooms.
Never there.
Yeah.
This is a lotta space for one person too.
Why're you still single?
No, i mean, not that it's any of my business, But since you've become Intimately acquainted with my ovaries, I figured i could ask.
Uh, i was married.
For seven years.
Really?
You have children?
No.
I wasn't at home in chicago either.
Every job i've had since business school Has kept me moving.
Moving up very fast.
But not without some collateral damage.
Do you still speak with your ex?
Christmas cards.
Jonell remarried about three years ago.
She's got two beautiful kids.
And i've got a beautiful job.
Well, if it's any consolation, You have a really beautiful job.
I have spent years lusting after your job.
I've done plenty of that, But jonell would tell you, don't do what i did.
Don't waste your lust on a job.
You should definitely hire someone For that new media position.
If today is any indication, I have been overextending myself, And i need to prioritize.
You sure?
Yes.
I am.
Okay.
I should get going.
Highlight reel starts again at 10:00.
Thank you for everything.
It's my pleasure.
I should probably get going.
Yeah.
Good night.
I'll let myself out.
So what should we start with, huh?
Three at sea?
I want daddy to read that one.
Okay.
You know, daddy might not be home till very late.
How 'bout instead of reading we just talk?
How is everything with you and finn these days?
Teacher said you guys had a fight during lunch.
What was the fight about?
I want daddy to read this one too.
Honey, you can tell me.
Daddy!
Hey, you.
Come here.
Will you read to me in bed?
Uh, yeah, sure, but i just got in, So why don't you ask mum If she would do it for you?
He wants you.
Hello.
Uh, hello.
What're you doing here?
Just fixing the perfect martini.
Minus the vermouth.
That would make it imperfect.
Why don't you taste it first?
So i wanna talk about what happened with us.
I'd really rather not rehash that, if you don't mind.
Well, that's not fair, joe.
I mean, you pulled up in your limo And you got to say what you wanted to say, But i never got to say what i wanted to say.
So...
That night, at my store opening, I thanked rodrigo instead of you, And i know now why i did that.
To say out loud How important you are to me, That would've made me feel really...
Exposed.
But i'm getting a lot better with that these days, So i came here to say two things to you.
I'm sorry.
And two: Thank you.
Thank you for everything that you've done for me.
You're welcome.
Wait, three: I would've said yes.
To your proposal.
I woulda said yes.
May i say something?
I, uh...
i thought you were at the studio all day.
Yeah.
I am.
I'm on my way out now.
Did you get any sleep last night?
Not much.
I, uh, ducked into the bedroom as soon as the kids got up.
Did you talk to taylor?
I did.
He wanted to know if one of us was gonna move out.
I guess 'cause of finn's parents splitting up.
I told him we were fine.
Huh.
Is that a problem?
Well, i'm not so sure we are.
What?
Fine.
I think that we should, um, See somebody.
A marriage counselor.
Fine.
I've gotta get a move on.
You gonna be home for dinner?
Yeah, i'll try.
Hey, you.
Hi.
Sleep well?
Oh, those sheets are made of clouds.
I'm ripping them off for my line.
They used them at the burg al arab in dubai.
I had them shipped in.
So in other words, Out of my customers' price point?
Damn.
Do you have some place you have to be?
Lunch meeting in boston.
Sorry to be rude, But i made the arrangements Before i knew you would be stopping by.
Stop smirking.
You missed this smirk.
Admit it.
Haven't i admitted enough?
Have a nice breakfast.
So...
What are we now?
A day older?
Anna, stop.
Anna, anna.
Anna, stop.
Anna, stop.
Anna, anna.
I can't.
I can't just run off.
Whose life is it, anna, yours or your fathers?
It's not that simple.
Please, don't make me choose.
Let me be your family.
Okay, we should stop there.
That's enough.
We're done.
You are a genius.
Stop it.
I don't use that term loosely.
This score adds so much.
Uh, todd, can you excuse us for a minute please, mate?
Thanks.
So, uh.
So.
Listen, we...
we should talk.
Yeah, you want to do that right now?
Well, better do it sooner than later.
Shane, listen, the only reason why i went to wendy Is because i feel so strongly about this job for you.

That's why i want you to call natasha bedingfield.
Tell her i'm in.
Uh, oh.
You passed out at work?
I got carried off in a stretcher On the 27
