Previously on Lipstick Jungle...
Hi. I'm sorry I didn't call.
What are you doing here?
My parents don't know about Charlie.
I'm wondering if you could watch him for the night?
And I'm gonna tell my parents everything, come back first thing in the morning.
I'm glad we kept it.
Why? You got the sudden urge to suck your thumb?
No, I'd like to have another.
You are talking about another piece of pie, right?
I think we should have another baby.
What is this?
Your business. I don't want to be paid back.
I don't want any connection at all.
Are you that Wendy Healy? Cool.
Um... I can't actually read something not submitted by an agent.
Isn't this a charity read? Why are you slogging through the whole bloody script?
I'm gonna make this movie, Shane.
I'm not coming back.
Megan, listen to me.
It's a little late to be deciding that you can't take care of this baby.
It's better this way.
Megan? Megan?
Mmm. They always look so innocent when they're sleeping.
Probably having such sweet dreams.
Do we really have to wake her?
Yeah, we should.
Nico. What?
You nodded off for a little while.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Right in the middle of your blueberry muffin.
Kirby isn't here, yet?
No. Hey, don't worry. If you've got to go, I can watch Charlie.
Oh, thanks.
Kirby offered to cover days until I find someone, which between us,
I'm not exactly...
I'm not exactly running to do 'cause I kind of want them to bond.
So, Kirby's more onboard for this now?
Well, onboard-ish.
How are you holding up, beside being sleep-deprived?
Well, it's intense. It's life-changing, but, you know...
I mean, that feeling of someone completely depending on you for everything.
I've never felt so necessary.
Okay, that's it.
I'm gonna get myself knocked up right now, the next man I see.
Morning, ladies.
The next next man I see.
I was beginning to think that you might not show up.
You got me. I was halfway to JFK, and I realized I didn't have my passport.
Come on. Who do you think I am? Megan?
Do you want a paper? No. Thanks.
Already read it, already was annoyed by it.
Why? You know the Baron Brothers?
Yeah, of course. They co-financed Bombay Highway.
What did they do to annoy you? Thank you.
Well, there's a piece on them in the style section, "Look Out, Martha."
Apparently, they've been meeting with every designer in town, except for me.
They're doing this big lifestyles project, hotel decor first,
because they own so many of them, and then websites,
probably a TV show.
Oh, you've got to get in on this.
No, I know.
Look, I love owning my business outright,
but now that Joe and his safety net are gone...
It's just, if I got a deal like this, it would be a little bit easier to breathe.
So are you gonna ask me?
Ask you what?
To call the Baron Brothers for you?
Oh, I didn't want to put you on the spot.
Okay, when did we become formal?
Well, are you sure that I'm right for this?
You know, right enough to put yourself on the line for?
I've never done this kind of work before.
And, yet, you're offended that they didn't call you to pitch.
I am complex. It's part of my charm.
Vic, if Scarlet O'Hara can make a dress out of curtains,
you can make curtains out of a dress.
Oh, and the Baron Brothers, they're cute.
One of them's single. Yeah. No, no, thanks.
Wendy Healy for Neil Baron, please?
So, what time do you think you'll be back?
I've got the lawyer, um...
You know, for Charlie, and then I've got a staff meeting,
which I'll try to duck out by 6:00.
Good.
You got nothing to say about the lawyer?
I hope it goes the way you want it to.
How do you want it to go?
I'm not sure.
What? You're not ready to commit to helping me raise my dead husband's baby?
What's the matter with you?
Well, when you put it that way...
I'm trying, Nico.
I'm really trying to wrap my head around this,
but you talk about something coming out of clear blue sky.
I know.
I know it's tricky, and you've been really great with it,
and I appreciate it.
And Charlie appreciates it.
You have to admit, sometimes the most unexpected things come into your life
and end up being the things that you wouldn't want to live without.
Like you. And you.
I got to go, right? Bye.
See you later. See you later, boys.
Bye, buddy.
Oh! Dude, it's nothing personal.
Hey, Healy! You stole my movie!
I have been waiting for you, all morning.
Haven't you ever heard of calling someone and making an appointment?
Come on. I got to pee.
Oh, you are not going to urinate on my building.
Watch me.
Oh, for God's sakes, come inside.
Was that so difficult?
So this is where you're working out of now. You need an office.
Why are you here?
Why are any of us here?
Don't keep me in suspense, Stephen. What grand theft did I allegedly commit?
Under a Speckless Sky.
Cassidy's project?
You mind if I smoke? Yes, I do.
It's just pot. Technically, that movie is mine.
How do you figure?
She submitted it to me six months ago.
And?
And it sat in the pile on my desk.
What can I say? But, then, I saw in the trades
that you optioned it, so I took a look.
I laughed. I cried.
It's the story of my life.
It's about a 19-year-old runaway girl from Bend, Oregon.
It spoke to me, loudly. I want to make this movie.
Help yourself. Thank you.
I'm glad you like the script.
Yep. It makes me even more confident in my decision to produce it.
It's gonna be a bear to sell, though.
Small, personal story, female lead, nothing blowing up.
Oh, I'll sell it.
I've already got Pepper Gleason attached to star.
That Hannah Banana kid, or whatever the hell show she was on?
Yeah, Cassidy and I saw her do Ophelia off-Broadway,
and she was good. Really raw, rough, edgy.
I heard three studios turned you down, already.
Whereas I have a blind commitment from Jenstone,
20 million or under, no questions asked, any movie I want to make,
and I want it to be this one.
So you said.
Excuse me? We are in a serious discussion, here. No phone calls.
Stop touching me. You're all sticky.
And my seven little gold friends named Oscar don't entice you?
I know you have seven Academy Awards, Stephen.
We were supposed to win one of those together,
or have you forgotten that fiasco?
How can I forget? Every time I see you, you remind me.
Okay, fine, so you're afraid to work with me again.
I'll move on to Plan B. I'll write you a check, a gesundta one.
You'll get an executive producing credit.
I'll make a movie. Everybody's happy.
Do me a favor, okay? Go back to your planet, and go to the pile,
pick a different script to produce.
You're not bribing me off my project.
So, then, you will do it with me. Excellent.
Goodbye, Stephen. What?
No kiss?
Ugh.
Hello.
Hey. I thought you were recording all day.
Uh, yeah, and all night, but I forgot one of my lead sheets.
I tried calling. I thought you could run it over to the studio for me,
but you didn't answer.
You reconsidering my proposal?
No, I'm... I'm just getting some things together for Charlie.
You weren't really serious, were you, about us having another?
Well, I mean, I don't know. I mean, there was something special about that time,
when Maddie was born, and then Taylor was a baby.
I kind of felt like we had our own little island, didn't we? I mean...
Yeah. I mean, do you really want to start over, again, with an infant?
Honestly, honey, at this point, I'd rather make movies than babies.
But, it'd be different this time, though.
You wouldn't have to race back to an office six weeks after giving birth, right?
Shane, it all worked out the way it was supposed to, us, Taylor, Maddie.
I wouldn't change anything. Would you?
Oh, my God.
Was somebody having a party without inviting me?
Give it to me.
Remember Stephen Draper?
We met him at that, uh... That time at the Golden Globes.
Oh, yeah, he's a bit of a nut-job.
Well, he came by, joint and checkbook in hand,
and had this crazy pitch about buying me out of Cassidy's project.
He offered me money and a credit to walk away, so that he could produce it.
Can you believe the nerve of this guy?
Oh, I mean, the bastard. Do nothing, get paid.
Sounds like a sweet deal to me, darling.
Not to me.
I'm a lot better, when I'm working.
I've learned that about myself.
I'm a better mother and a better wife.
Yeah.
Uh, you may not want to hear this, but I like our arrangement, now,
with you at home.
Well, then, we need to have a bigger conversation
when you're not running out the door,
because I'm not looking to be a stay-at-home anything.
Hmm.
I got to get back to my session.
Nobody's offering me money not to work.
Child abandonment is a felony, Sid. I looked it up.
That's true, but since Megan left the baby with somebody responsible, namely, you,
it's unlikely she'd be prosecuted.
She hasn't called,
just that one time to let me know that she wasn't coming back.
How do you not call and ask about your baby?
Obviously, there is something there.
Okay. Hypothetically, we notify Child Services, now, today.
You apply to be Charlie's foster parent.
And then, what?
Assuming you get temporary custody, there's still a waiting period
before you could apply for any adoption proceedings.
All right. How long? At least six months.
Well, I can live with that.
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.
My husband was his father.
Charlie was conceived during my marriage.
I mean, how much more immediate does it get?
I love this little boy, and um... I can't explain it,
but let's just make sure we do whatever we need to do.
Okay.
My roommate, he is such a nightmare. He curses in his sleep.
Oh, no, he does not. He does, yeah.
I taped him, put it on YouTube. Look it up.
Okay, well, bye. All right.
Bye. Bye.
Food's here.
Cute sandwich boy doesn't happen to be a professional photographer, does he?
I don't know how I'm gonna get this presentation done in time.
Uh, his name is Paul, and, no, he's a freshman at NYU.
He likes you. I can tell.
What?
Uh, no, he is nice to me, because you're a good tipper.
Why would he like me?
Oh, about a hundred reasons.
You're cute. You're smart. Those bright, beautiful eyes. That big smile.
Stop it. I'm not. I'm plain, especially compared to my mom.
No, you stop it. Maddie, don't you see yourself?
Not like that.
Well, that is a pity, my friend, because you're all that and more.
Come on. We're going shopping.
Where?
Right here.
Pick anything you want. It's my treat.
I can't do that.
Well, I'm your boss, and I say that you can.
This one?
Exactly the one I would have picked out for you.
Now, listen, the next time that Paul comes by,
this is the vibe that I want you to put out. Okay?
"He is so lucky that I am even giving him the time of day."
I'll try. Thanks.
You tell that prima donna bitch diva
that I will pay her her full quote when I can actually get full range
of emotion out of that naugahyde face.
Where's your assistant?
Getting an endoscopy. Third one I hired who got an ulcer.
It's weird, huh?
Shocking.
So, Wendy, you've come crawling back.
Is it safe to be here, or do I need a tetanus shot?
I like the mess, makes me feel alive.
I've been thinking. Let's say we made this movie together?
I knew you'd come around.
I've got some stipulations.
Stipulate away.
Cassidy does all the rewrites.
No 250,000-a-week script-doctor friend of yours coming in.
I want her to see her vision through.
Good enough. Although, Carrie Fisher does owe me a favor...
Forget it. Forgotten.
You and me, we're a team, a united front.
Any differences we have, we have behind closed doors,
not necessarily these closed doors.
I'll be the Fred to your Ginger.
More like the Fred to my Wilma.
The crass to your class.
Oh, God help me.
What else can I tell you?
That I'm not gonna regret this.
Get on the ride, Wendy Healy.
This is gonna be the most fun you ever had with your clothes on.
I did it. I got him down.
You know, Charlie is really mature for his age.
I'm thinking that he's old enough to stay here by himself
while we go catch a movie.
All right, seriously, though, I'm starting to get a little bit of cabin fever.
Aren't you?
Well, I mean, you can go out, if you want.
Ah, it's Victory.
Ask her if she can babysit.
Hey, Vic. Hey!
Quick question. Kirby?
Yeah, he's here right now. What's up?
Well, I'm putting together a proposal, last minute, for the Baron Brothers.
Wow. That's great.
I know. Wendy hooked it up, but I can't find a photographer.
All of my usuals are unavailable this week.
Is Kirby available, by any chance?
Oh, I don't know with Charlie and all.
I mean, how many days would you need him?
I don't know, but he would have to start soon, like tomorrow morning?
Oh. That's really last minute.
Um, you know, maybe, I can take Wendy up on her offer to babysit.
Yeah, no, she has that meeting for her movie tomorrow.
You know what? Never mind. I shouldn't have even asked you.
I know it's a really weird time for you right now.
No, no, no, let me see what we can do. Can I call you later?
Yeah! No, um... I... I'm gonna keep looking, but let me know.
Okay, thanks.
What was that about?
She needs a photographer for her presentation.
Tell her that she found one.
Okay, um...
I guess, I could take Charlie with me to work.
You're the boss. You can do whatever you want.
Yeah, but, then, everyone's gonna be asking me questions,
which I really don't need. Maybe, I could work from here.
But, if not, I'm not sure what we should do.
Wait. Wait. Hang on. That's a real job.
Charlie's a favor.
Wow.
He's not my kid. He's not even your kid.
Okay, well, um... Give me a second, and, uh...
Nico, I'm not gonna miss out on actual work, so I can stay here and be a manny.
What's Victory's number? I'm calling her.
I'll get him.
No, I'll get him.
The man with the golden touch strikes, again. I am in love with this script.
I have taste, or what?
So, is it a true story? It's so genuine.
Part of it's true. Plus some fantasies are thrown in for good measure.
I'm sure Stephen has told you that we already have our lead actress in place.
Yeah, about that, who else are you thinking of for that part?
Actually, we're not thinking about anyone else.
Pepper Gleason is our first choice.
We've already had a long talk with her, and she said, "Yes."
I don't see it.
That's the beauty. It's unexpected.
Allison, use your imagination. Chop off the ponytail.
Throw in a couple of chicken cutlets. It'll work.
Sorry, guys. This is a non-starter.
Jim Carrey's manager's calling for you.
It sounds like he's calling from a plane.
Ugh. I'll be right back.
You said, any movie that you wanted to make, no questions asked.
I might have overstated for dramatic effect.
Or lied.
Cassidy, we should at least see who else is out there.
No. No, no way.
Are you ready to walk away from this deal,
if we can't get Pepper approved?
I'm gonna throw up.
Hang on, ladies. This isn't Sophie's Choice just yet.
I have been on this ledge before.
Here's what we do. We take Miss Thing out for a makeover,
dirty her up, bring her in here for a meet and greet.
I can lead this horse to water, and I can make her drink.
Hi, buddy. Hey.
Hey, Freddy, what's up?
Send them up.
Yeah, it's gonna be okay. Okay, there you go.
Nico? Yes.
I'm Ann Albright. This is my husband, Ed.
We're Megan's parents.
Please, come in.
Have you... Have you seen Megan?
Has she gotten in touch with you?
Yes, yes. She's at her apartment.
The apartment your husband set her up in.
Ed, don't.
Is Charlie here?
He's... He's sleeping in the other room.
He's good. He's a good and happy baby.
You can't imagine how stunned we were, when we found out about him.
Actually, I can.
I think she was afraid to tell you.
She thought you might react badly.
We did, at first. Thanksgiving was a nightmare.
But, she's our daughter. He's our grandson.
It's our responsibility to take care of them.
Once she realized we meant that, she finally gave us your address.
We're gonna take Megan and the baby back home to Indiana with us.
Oh.
Can I see him, please? We haven't even seen a photograph.
Of course. Um, just give me a minute.
Sid, it's Nico. Listen, Megan's parents are here,
and they want to take Charlie home.
Do I have any say in this?
The guy's a total piece of work.
He's had a hand in every standout movie in the past five years.
Oh, it'd be nice, if we could only do business with people we loved.
And if potato chips gave you lower cholesterol.
Okay, this is what I have, for the Baron Brothers.
Kirby took these pictures this morning.
And, as we speak, he's Photoshopping the images into a hotel room,
so that they can see what they'll really look like.
Oh, Vic, these are beautiful, and the colors are so lush.
But, don't you want them to get the full effect?
Well, I'm gonna bring samples.
No, no, no, no, no, these guys have to be dazzled.
They own casinos. They own sports teams. They like big.
They like glitz. You know, your store is fantastic.
Turn it into your canvas.
You could do a hotel room set, with these models,
and these robes on those bedspreads, and the pitch could be...
Oh, I don't know, it could be something like, um,
"Glamor doesn't stop just because the day's over."
The party after the party.
I love it!
And what if you had little videos playing, you know, of people using your designs,
just like little pops. I could get you a crew, it would hardly cost anything.
We could do it in black and white, like old movies.
Oh, it's so you.
Oh, my God. Okay. We have to get back to the store,
so I can start working on this.
Can I eat my sandwich?
Nope. You're coming with me, so we can talk on the way.
Fine.
Oh, and you should see the bathrobe I designed.
When you put it on, it's literally like wearing a hug.
Oh, I knew your clothes were sexy, but I had no idea that...
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Um... This...
This is Paul. Uh... Paul, you know Victory.
Hey. And this is my mom.
How you doing?
Oh, I'm doing wonderfully. Thank you for asking.
Yeah, I'm gonna... I'm gonna go, okay? I'll see you later.
Oh, bye.
Bye.
Who is he?
He works at the place we order lunch from.
Oh! Oh, really? And what?
Since you've been here, what, three days you... You're probably really close.
What's his last name?
Uh, Maddie, could you go help that woman, please?
Okay, relax. It's not that big of a deal.
How old is he? He goes to NYU.
He's just 17, 18?
What? College. He goes to college. She's 15.
Okay, look, in Maddie's defense,
I may have encouraged her to flirt with him.
Okay, Victory, you know what? Maybe, you should start worrying
about your own love life, instead of Maddie's.
Um, um... She wants to know if you have the burgundy satin in a size eight.
We're expecting it later, maybe tomorrow, so just get her number,
and we'll call her. Okay? Okay.
Don't think that this is over.
Look, Wen, can I talk to her about this?
What? Do you think I'm too angry or irrational to talk to my daughter?
I just think that she might hear it better coming from someone who isn't you.
Fine.
Hey. You want to meet someone? You want to meet someone?
He looks exactly like Megan did, when she was this age.
Yeah, and he's, uh, he's got his father's eyes.
This was down in the lobby for you.
This is Megan's parents.
They're taking Megan and Charlie back home with them.
Oh.
We need to get going.
Okay, yeah. You be good, sweet pea, okay?
Here you go.
Nico, thank you.
It's okay, Charlie.
What time is it?
It's early.
Go back to sleep.
No. I was having stupid dreams, anyway.
Come on. It's been a couple of days, that's got to be a record for us.
And not one I'm proud of.
I'm gonna go into the office and catch up on what I missed yesterday.
Do I look tough, or what?
This is exactly who I pictured,
when I closed my eyes and imagined the character.
It's you!
Come on, ladies. Let's get over to the studio and show them what's what.
Wha... Hey, excuse me?
I need to check your bags. It's probably just a security tag they forgot.
Miss? What's going on?
Wait. I don't... I don't know what that is.
Please, come back inside with me.
No, wait, wait. This is a mistake!
You can tell that to the police!
I didn't steal anything! No, leave me alone!
Wendy? Leave it be.
We can help her? No, no, no, no.
Thanks, guys.
We are helping her. We are helping her get the part.
That guard, he's a plant. He's an actor.
I got somebody in there taping the whole thing.
So, you're saying that you set up this entire shoplifting thing?
Holy crap, that is so cool.
No, it is not cool.
They want to see her tough, yet vulnerable,
we'll show them tough, yet vulnerable.
This is gonna be one of the best demo reels she's ever had.
So, this has been your plan all along?
You said, she wouldn't audition.
So, you ambushed the poor girl?
Excusez-moi.
I thought a woman who forged medical documents to get a movie made would appreciate
my "out of the box" thinking.
How did you know about that?
Finger on the pulse, ear to the ground,
so just save your righteous anger, Norma Rae,
and let's get this thing cast.
She's probably been tortured enough by now.
I'll go call off the dogs.
Do you remember when the worst thing that could happen to you would be to not get picked
for the team? Yeah, not me.
You're looking at dodge ball champion at PS 17.
Why am I not surprised?
You know, Charles and I were pregnant once.
What? When?
Right around when you had Taylor.
It was only a couple of weeks, and we hadn't said anything to anyone,
and then I started bleeding, so...
Nico!
We would have been raising our kids together.
No, don't. That's why I never told you.
Charles was relieved, and I think I was, too,
'cause I knew that he didn't want it.
But this, giving Charlie back, this is worse.
Hey, the plus side is you can get pregnant.
Yeah. Kirby isn't ready.
I mean, not even close, and what if, by the time he is ready, I can't?
And you know what? Even if he was...
I don't even know if I am with him,
and, so, if I freeze some eggs...
Are you considering doing that?
Yeah, I think I might, as backup.
But, then, do I ask him to do that with me, or do I just do it by myself,
and then not even tell him?
Oh, I don't know.
What do you mean, you don't know? You know everything.
True. But... Hey, guys!
Hot chocolate is very healing.
That's so sweet. Thank you.
I'm okay. Thank you. Oh, God, my phone won't stop buzzing.
I feel like I'm playing hooky in the park.
I got to go. Thank you. Bye.
Bye. That reminds me,
Maddie has a history exam tomorrow, so I gave her the afternoon off.
So, how was your big chat?
Uh, you know what? At the end of the day,
I didn't feel like I needed to make a federal case out of it.
Oh, you didn't? Hmm.
'Cause, it looked to me like they weren't planning on stopping any time soon,
and that might have merited a little talk, but what do I know?
I'm just her mother. Okay, look,
so he might have been a little too old for her, but nothing bad happened,
and it was really good for her self esteem, so what's the harm?
Maddie doesn't have a problem with self esteem.
Yeah, she kind of does. I've been helping her with it.
All right, Cool Aunt, that's my job.
Okay, did it ever occur to you that you might be part of the reason
that she doesn't feel totally good about herself?
What?
Come on, you're eight-feet-tall. You're gorgeous.
People want to get to know you the minute you walk into a room.
I mean, try having that as a mom.
You don't know what you're talking about.
Okay, yeah, you're right.
I don't know anything about life or love or feeling insecure.
How could I possibly know what I'm talking about?
My buddy's been working on this thing for months.
It's a really cool concept, actually.
You get people to write their secrets on the walls in glow-in-the-dark ink,
and you can only see them once an hour.
And the rest of the time the walls of the gallery are blank?
Well, they're blank, but, you know, not... Not really. It's symbolic,
that you can't always see the truth.
Yeah, but it's always there, isn't it?
Do you mind if we don't spend too much time there?
I'm exhausted. I didn't sleep well last night.
You miss being woken up every hour, on the hour?
I'm sorry. Forget it.
Hey, look at these guys.
How about I get us a puppy?
That'll keep you up late at night. We can get a pug. We can get a beagle.
We can get a Labrador, just for the name alone.
Kirby, please, just stop.
Hey, honey, why don't you go to your room,
and I'll tell you when supper's ready?
Okay. Okay.
Maddie, we should talk.
I don't get why you're making such a big deal out of this.
I made out with someone, so what?
Someone you barely know.
You know, you should be happy. I'm like the only person in my grade who hasn't had sex.
Does that bother you?
Sometimes, I think I should just get it over with.
It's not a race. It's not something you get over with.
Honey, sex is great.
It's great, when it's right, and when you're mature enough
to be in a relationship like that, and when you're with a loving partner.
It's as close as two people can be.
What if... If... Never mind.
Maddie, please?
What if nobody ever falls in love with me?
Then, what? I'm supposed to be a virgin forever?
Of course, somebody is gonna fall in love with you. Lots of boys will.
No, Mom, that's you.
Honey, I know that you think I have to say these things,
because I'm your mother.
But when I was your age, I would have given anything
to have as much going for me as you do.
But, I'm practically invisible.
I'm the one who delivers the messages to the popular girls.
Oh, sweetheart.
I promise you, you don't want to be the person who peaks in the ninth grade.
Come to a high school reunion with me, and you'll see what I mean.
Okay.
What were you like in ninth grade?
Oh!
Oh, I think we're gonna need some ice cream for this one.
Mmm, good.
You gonna write something?
Maybe.
I'm going to. Find you after.
Ships passing in the night.
Yep. Pull up a glass.
Long day?
Oh, long and crazy.
Yeah, me, too. Sax player with an attitude problem.
Well, I'll see your sax player with an attitude problem
and raise you one morally challenged producer.
You didn't take Stephen Draper's buyout?
You're gonna be working on the project with him?
Oh, yes.
Wow.
What happened to your message from the universe to spend more time with your family?
I love my time with you and the kids, you know that.
But it doesn't have to be all or nothing.
Today, I had my meeting, and I took Taylor to the dentist,
and I had a two-hour conversation with Maddie.
Two hours? About what?
Apparently, she took a liking to the delivery guy at Victory's.
Vic and I caught them making out.
Well, you know, maybe, if Maddie had a mother around keeping better track on her,
she wouldn't feel free to go macking with every boy she comes across.
Okay, uh, it turned out to be a good thing, the catching her part.
Maddie opened up to me in a way that she never did before.
Yeah, but you told her she's done with that job?
No, I didn't.
Well, then, I will. No, you won't.
What is this, your new world order,
none of the females in this family can work?
Hey, don't punish her, 'cause you're mad at me.
Well, what is it, eh? You think my well is suddenly gonna run dry?
You think I just got lucky?
Better stay in the game, in case Shane falls flat on his face.
No, of course not.
Well, why can't you just let it be my turn?
Well, in case you're wondering,
I didn't write that thing about leaving the toilet seat up on purpose.
Yeah, I feel sorry for the woman in that relationship.
I'm not happy anymore, either.
I know your handwriting.
You remember how I asked you if you'd have picked me over Charles?
I think, maybe, you would have,
but I know you would have picked that baby over me.
I want us to work, Kirby.
Yeah. But...
I know.
It's not the right time.
Maybe, someday.
But, let's just...
Let's just stop, before we get into that hating each other phase.
I could never hate you.
Healy house.
Mom, it's Stephen Draper.
On a Saturday morning.
Tell him, "Just a minute."
She'll be right with you.
Okay, I'll tell her.
He says, "Chop, chop, time is money."
Just tell him to shove it, make both of us happy.
I am not bailing on this project.
I love the script, and I made a commitment to Cassidy.
And if I have to suck it up to work with a complete lunatic to get the movie made,
so be it. Stephen, hey.
Put down all sharp instruments, I come in peace.
I'm listening.
Okay, so it turns out you were right about Maddie.
And I made her promise that if there's ever anything
she wants to talk about or know about,
and she can't quite bring herself to ask me, she'll come to you.
Really? Who better?
So, what are you doing? Are you preparing for your pitch?
Oh, um, no! You know, I forgot to tell you yesterday,
probably because you were yelling at me,
that they moved the meeting up to this morning.
Hmm? Yeah,
they had this crisis at their hotel in San Juan, so they called me,
and they asked me if I, uh, if I wouldn't mind meeting today,
even though it's a weekend, and I said, "You know, I don't mind,"
because I love working on Saturdays. You know...
Okay, don't make me beg! What happened?
They came. They saw.
I conquered.
You got the deal? I got the deal.
Oh, my God. Oh, that's so good for you.
We have to celebrate.
What are we celebrating?
Hey, you! Hey... Hey, are you okay?
Oh, I was just taking a walk,
and I thought I'd do a little retail therapy in my favorite store.
Movie star.
It's over. Kirby and I are done.
Oh, honey.
It's just... It's just a lot,
but, um, I think it was the right thing to do.
Oh, I'm sorry, honey.
Come here. Here.
You'll be okay.
Now, I will.
