I thought your book was just - wow!
We think it's absolutely perfect for the big screen. DK adores it.
She's the hottest actress on the scene.
We already have a director attached - Leon. What I suggest we do
is that we fly you out to New York to meet them. Oh!
All I wanted was move to in with you and try and have a normal relationship.
This is a completely fucked-up situation.
Maybe you shouldn't have moved in with me and my fucked-up situation!
Sometimes you just have to get away from it all.
You know, work, home, boyfriends...
And do what you want to do.
And for me that means...
Bit of shopping, few laughs. (LAUGHS)
Oh, yeah, and maybe making a hit movie!
New York City!
Here I come!

What is a girl to do?
That's the thing men don't understand about shopping: it's not about the clothes.

I'm getting it. Don't. I said leave it!
I thought you were cool with all this.
The clients and the phone calls?
She's not here, OK?
So you'll just have to find some other girl or wank yourself off, you twat!
Er, no, I'm not interested in an upgrade. Thank you, though. Yeah.
Sorry about the...you know, the wanking.
Yeah.
I have to get out of here.
You've got to be kidding me.
Where the hell is she? I've been calling all morning.
New York. Typical!

Sweetie!
Wow! Oh, my God!
You are even more fabulous in the flesh.
I already know we're going to be friends.
Thanks. So you must be Dava or...?
Oh, seriously, what is wrong with me?
Yes, I'm Dava. But please - my friends call me DK.
OK. We are so lucky to have Leon attached to this project.
He's going to do an awesome job with your story.
Well, I haven't quite said yes yet.
Oh, I know.
But you will. You must!
Because I already feel we're like soul sisters!
I love this book.
Thank you.
Let's workshop it because I want the movie to go deeper
into Belle's character.
Yes. I want to explore where reality and fantasy overlap.
OK. Like rubbing the condensation
off a bathroom mirror without touching it.
Yes! Yeah, yeah.
Good! I mean, here, for example. Let's see...
When you meet a new client.
I want you to tell me more about what you're thinking. Yes.
But don't just tell it to me. No.
Feel it to me.
Imagine that I am the client and DK is you.
Oh.
Yes. This is good. This is good.
And...action!
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm not entirely sure what I should be doing?
Talk us through it. But with your heart.
You are our eyes, our hands.
Action!
OK, well, um, first of all I might start by putting on a little music.
No, no, no, no, no! No.
I want to know how you would deconstruct the client.
I... And...go!
OK, well, clearly you have a dominant personality
so I'd want to work with that.
Maybe start off by standing behind him. Yeah.
It keeps them off guard. Right.
Now, um...caress him.
Just gently. Very good.
That'll make him excited.
(MOUTHS)
Ah! Yes!
No! No peeking.
Yeah, exactly.
Because dominant people love being forced to give up control.
And come round.
And kiss him.
Oh! OK. Well, no. Soft! Light.
You know, like, barely touching. OK.
Yeah.
Yeah, good.
Ow! Ow!
OK, good, good.
Rip off my dress! Well, I wouldn't really...I wouldn't say rip.
You could always use the buttons.
I want you inside me so bad. Oh, my!
Take me, you sexual viper! OK!
We're animals! I think we've got the basic shape.
(GIGGLES)
There it is. Here we go.
OK, and cut! And cut!
Please! Please, stop!
Cut!
It's a good thing I came by.
These books are an utter disgrace.
But I suppose you miss your darling Belle.
Good riddance to her. Well said, child.
Well?
Be honest. How was it?
I can g-genuinely say that that was a...
..truly extraordinary performance.
Yes! (GIGGLES)
(ALARM BEEPS)
Are you listening? Right.
Not only am I not going to give you a reduced rate
but you are going to book the same girl at the same rate
and you are going to enjoy it.
Mr Bennett, you do realise I beat men for a living?
Tomorrow at four will be fine. (HANGS UP)
You're amazing. I know.
How do you do that? It's quite simple.
Men need to be told what to do.
Believe me, when they say no, they really mean yes.
(SQUEALS) Go on.
That's it, give it more wrist.
What the fuck is going on here? What's she still doing here?
She was running the business that allows you to live
in this rather bourgeois maison de famille.
Get out.
Do let me know if Belle ever returns.
(CHUCKLES)
What the hell's going on, Poppy? I'm sorry.
Don't give me that. You're not a kid anymore!
(SOBS)
I'm sorry. No, don't. Don't!
No-one cares about me.
That's not true. Yes, it is.
No, it's not. Of course we care.
You're great. You're funny, you're bright.
You're really good with that whip now. (GIGGLES)
You just kissed me back. No, I didn't.
Poppy, no! No?
No!
Look, I'm with Hannah
and I'm not going to do anything to jeopardise that.
So you and Leon, you're quite a liberated couple, aren't you?
Oh, honey, we're not in a relationship! God, no!
I'm married. But I mean, in...
In there you just... I mean, you had sex!
And?
How can you do that?
I am surprised you of all people should ask.
How can we really sink our teeth into your story if we're afraid to get our hands even a little dirty?
I suppose. I just hope the aim is...
I don't want it to be strictly about bonking, you know.
I want it to be about relationships and family... Oh, yeah. Absolutely!
Absolutely! And I want to know everything!
So, you have a man?
Yes, I do. Ben. Fabulous.
Though actually, we're kind of in the middle of a row at the moment.
Oh, sweetie, I had no idea.
Well, no, it's not... Hang on.
Angelo! Two more. Stat!
I guess relationships can be pretty hard to keep up in your line of work.
Yeah. Yeah, they can.
But you know, Ben's different.
He's there for me, so...
You really trust him. More than anyone in the world.
(CELL PHONE RINGS) Yeah?
Oh, hey, Bobby!
Uh-huh...uh-huh.
OK, yeah, I'll see you there in a few. OK.
Uh, OK, I got a thing.
Awesome hanging out.
Don't forget about the read-through tomorrow.
Leon's writing some scenes specially.

I don't care what the PE is, Mitchell, it's a piece of shit company!
No, it is not my opinion, it is a fact.
Sorry. It's fine.
Do not BS me about the yield, Mitchell.
The yield is six times overinflated because the copper markets are on some kind of suicide pact.
Um...do you mind if we...?
No, no. Of course. It's just round this corner.
(CELL PHONE RINGS)
(GIGGLES) Do you want to get that?
What?!
Listen, Mitchell, you asshole...
When you are showing an Alpha of one point three,
you come back to me, and at that time I can guarantee
I will tell you to go fuck yourself.
Yeah, why don't you do that.
Sorry, again, um...
Is it... Is it good? An Alpha of one point three?
No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have...
Are you kidding me?
One point three is fucking amazing!
Sorry, excuse my language. But it is, like, unheard of.
I'm afraid I don't really understand what it is you do.
I basically specialise in CTA and systematic diversified macro investments.
OK, well, that wasn't in English! Right. Sorry.
Um, I guess you could say I assess value.
Let's take...you as an example.
You are a commodity.
Oh, thanks.
No, I mean like your services are a commodity
that you sell for a price, right? Right.
And your price rises with experience, exclusivity et cetera.
But you also factor in risk, future earning capacity,
asset value deterioration Deterioration?
Yeah, you know, as you get older,
perhaps put on weight, have kids, wrinkles.
It all detracts from the value.
Oh, that's good isn't it? That's nice, yeah.
And it's my job to make money
by taking advantage of the tiny little differences
between what something is actually worth
and what somebody thinks it's worth.
You see, the secret is to be real careful
before letting go of what you've got,
because you only really know something's true value when it's gone. Then it's too late.
(CELL PHONE RINGS) Yes, Mitchell.
I thought you might say that
but unfortunately, the price has just gone up.
Sorry, do you mind if we, um...?
Oh, no, of course. Come on. Sorry.
You're up early. You know me. Busy busy, busy.
Listen, I hope we're OK after...
You know, last night.
Oh...
I've made you some breakfast. Sit.
Go on, sit.

It's from Hannah.
Thank you all for coming.
Belle, don't worry about these guys - they're just the money!
So, this morning we're gonna show you a sample scene from the movie
to give you a feel of where we're coming from.
Enjoy.
Well, hi, there! I'm Belle.
That's Italian, by the way, for "totally gorgeous".
(GIGGLES) Come on in.
I love champagne in the morning.
But only the best for me: 'Don Perigone' all the way.

Feet. Knees.

Oh, my God!
Wasn't it great? She hated it.
I thought it was cheap. No way.
No, no. I thought...I thought she was shallow
and, frankly, just a bit stupid.
Like, I totally do not agree.
You know, I think the character has real warmth and...
..she's just so funny - like you.
Well, that's the thing, because I don't think she was anything like me.
Really? Leon. No, no, it's OK.
Why? She likes men, luxuries...
Look. OK...
She's a modern woman who knows what she wants
and isn't afraid to go after it.
Isn't that what you're all about?
Well, yeah. Actually, no. I mean, that's not really my point. My...
No! I'll tell you the point.
The point is those idiots in there loved it
and this could make us a nice chunk of change.
OK. Well, I just, I think I had...
Unrealistic expectations and I'm sorry.
OK, I'm sorry. OK. No. I hear you.
I hear you. We'll give you points off the gross.
OK? Now can we please just do this deal? You don't get it.
Come on! Belle, Belle, come on, let's talk about it. Belle!

No, no. I thought everything I wanted was here, but it's not.
