HER NAME IS JODIE PAPADAKIS, AND SHE'S MY IDOL.
I'VE BEEN FOLLOWING HER CAREER, LIKE, FOREVER.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I FINALLY GET TO MEET HER.
WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT SHE WAS RUNNING THE Y.E.T.I. PROGRAM,
I SCREAMED. AAH!
AAH!
I SHOULD PROBABLY BUY MRS. BOWEN A GIFT.
OKAY, LESS TALKING, MORE TAPING. HELLO.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I SET THIS PARTY FOR FRIDAY.
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET ALL OF THIS DONE IN THREE DAYS?
THAT'S WHAT YOUR FAMILY IS FOR. DON'T WORRY.
WE'LL GET IT DONE. OH, DID I TELL YOU THAT SHE STARTED OUT
AS A JUNIOR ASSISTANT AT "THE NEW YORK OBSERVER"?
FIVE YEARS, SHE BECAME THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF.
SHE'S A GENIUS. WOW. AND YOU CHOSE US OVER HER?
NO, TONIGHT'S JUST A MIXER. I GET TO SEE HER TOMORROW.
OH, BETTY, WHAT DO YOU THINK IF, FOR THE REOPENING,
I HIRE SOMEONE TO DO MUSIC OR MAGIC OR SOMETHING-- MA, NO MAGIC.
I TRY SO HARD TO GET THE BRIDGE AND TUNNEL OUT OF THIS FAMILY.
WOULD IT BE TOO WEIRD TO ASK HER TO BE MY MENTOR RIGHT AWAY?
BETTY, YOUR SISTER JUST ASKED YOU A QUESTION. YEAH. HELLO?
OH, RIGHT. YES.
(gasps) DO YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE WOULD BE FUN? GIFT BAGS.
I CAN'T AFFORD GIFT BAGS.
I SPENT ALL MY MONEY ON THIS BEAUTIFUL SIGN
AND THIS NEW MERCH.
THAT'S SHORT FOR "MERCHANDISE."
HILDA, IT WON'T COST YOU A THING.
"MODE" GETS SAMPLES ALL THE TIME.
I CAN JUST BRING SOME HOME TOMORROW. HEY, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
(sign buzzing)
OH! OH!
HILDA'S BEAUTILITIES PLUS. OH, MY GOD! THIS IS SO EXCITING.
THIS PARTY IS GONNA BE LIKE MY VERY OWN BROADWAY OPENING.
YEAH, IT'S LIKE "SPRING AWAKENING," "AVENUE Q."
AND "SOUTH PACIFIC" ALL ROLLED INTO ONE.
GRANDPA, NICE.
HEY, I KEEP UP.
(chuckles) (Betty) HEY, SHOULDN'T THAT FACE OUTWARD?
PAPI. AY, DIOS MíO.
(Ignacio) I WASN'T DONE.
THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO SPIN IT.
"ELLE" KICKED OUR BUTTS LAST MONTH.
WAS IT CLASSY TO SHOW SARAH SILVERMAN ON THE TOILET?
NO. BUT THEIR NUMBERS WERE WAY UP, AND A WIN IS A WIN.
SO TRASHY. THAT NEVER WOULD HAVE HAPPENED AT "ELLE" ON MY WATCH.
WEREN'T YOU AN INTERN? SHUT UP.
(Betty whispers) GUYS. ANYWAY, WE ARE NOT GONNA LOSE AGAIN.
IF WE DO, ONE OF YOU DIES.
I HAVE SOMETHING BIG PLANNED FOR APRIL.
I CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT JUST YET. TREAT EVERYTHING WE DISCUSS IN HERE AS PROPRIETARY.
THOSE COWS AT "ELLE" WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHAT WE'RE UP TO. ON THE FLIP SIDE,
IF ANY OF YOU HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT THEM,
THERE IS A VERY NICE BOTTLE OF WINE IN IT FOR YOU.
AND MAYBE YOU'LL LIVE TO SEE ANOTHER DAY.
NOW GET BACK TO WORK.
I LOVE THE WHOLE GOOD COP/BAD COP THING
YOU TWO HAVE GOING.
AH, IT'S NOT REALLY A THING.
IT'S MORE LIKE I'M NICE, SHE'S NOT.
MM. CAN I HELP IT IF MY BALLS ARE BIGGER THAN HIS? GOD, I LOVE THIS WOMAN.
(chuckles nervously) YEAH.
WILL I SEE YOU AT MY PARTY ON FRIDAY?
I BUMPED GRAYDON CARTER FOR YOU. I WOULDN'T MISS IT FOR THE WORLD.
MOLLY HAS A SCHOOL PAGEANT THAT NIGHT,
BUT I PLAN ON TALKING HER OUT OF IT.
OH, MOLLY'S COMING?
IS THAT ALL RIGHT?
WELL, OF COURSE. SHE'S YOUR FIANCéE.
I GUESS I'LL JUST HAVE TO BUMP ANNA WINTOUR OFF THE GUEST LIST,
BUT, YOU KNOW, SERVES HER RIGHT.
I THINK SHE STOLE A PAIR OF SUNGLASSES FROM ME LAST YEAR.
GOOD. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
(fireworks explode)
THIS IS THE RECENTLY UNEARTHED HALSTON ORIGINAL
FROM THE FIREWORKS COLLECTION.
WOW. THAT IS INCREDIBLE.
I FOUND THIS PRIVATE COLLECTOR
WHO'S GONNA LOAN IT TO US FOR ONE SHOOT.
KEIRA KNIGHTLEY WILL DO OUR COVER
IF SHE CAN WEAR THIS DRESS. SHUT UP!
I MEAN, ON THAT COVER ALONE, WE GOT 30 MORE PAGES OF AD BUYS.
THIS COULD REALLY BE A BIG GAME CHANGER FOR US. SUCK ON THAT, "ELLE."
♪ GO, DANIEL, GO, DANIEL ♪ WE TALKED ABOUT THAT.
I... (clears throat) I NEED YOU TO ARRANGE
TO PICK THIS UP FROM THE COLLECTOR'S LOFT TOMORROW.
HERE'S THE INFO. PLEASE, BETTY, KEEP IT HUSH-HUSH.
I FEEL LIKE AN INTERNATIONAL SPY.
(beeping) EXCEPT REAL SPIES DON'T ANNOUNCE THEY'RE SPIES.
(knock on door)
DANIEL, WOULD YOU MIND STEPPING INTO MY OFFICE?
I'D LIKE TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING.
I HAVE SOME FRIENDS HERE IN SECURITY.
I DIDN'T REALIZE YOU AND MOLLY WERE SO CLOSE.
YOU'RE AWFUL.
PERHAPS IN THE PAST, BUT NOT THIS TIME.
LOOK, THIS IS THE ONLY COPY. IT'S YOURS.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
NOTHING.
THIS IS A PERSONAL MATTER.
(scoffs) I UNDERSTAND.
SHE'S ENGAGED TO YOUR FRIEND, OUR--OUR COLLEAGUE.
LOOK, I'M SURE
YOU PROBABLY DON'T WANT TO TALK TO ME ABOUT THIS,
BUT SOME THINGS ARE WORTH THE RISK.
WE BOTH KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO FIND LOVE.
IT'S--IT'S NOT LOVE.
LOOK, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS OR HOW SHE FEELS.
YOU KNOW HOW YOU FEEL.
AND IT LOOKS LIKE MOLLY MIGHT BE ON THE SAME PAGE.
DON'T YOU THINK YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF
TO SEE WHETHER THERE'S ANYTHING THERE?
(elevator bell dings) YOU GAVE HIM THE DVD?
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH YOU, WOMAN?
AND DON'T SAY, "NOT EVERYTHING'S A SCHEME, MARC,"
BECAUSE I WILL SLAP YOU.
NOT EVERYTHING IS A SCHEME, MARC.
OKAY, I THINK WE BOTH KNOW THAT I'M NOT GOING TO SLAP YOU. SOMETIMES HONESTY WORKS, TOO.
OH, I GET IT. SO HONESTY'S THE SCHEME.
THE OLD HONESTY SCHEME. YEAH! THAT'S A CLASSIC.
NO, NO, NO. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE RARE TIMES
WHERE WHAT DANIEL WANTS AND WHAT I WANT INTERSECT.
NOW IF DANIEL AND MOLLY END UP TOGETHER,
WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE... (whispers) CONNOR?
(gasps) HEARTBROKEN.
AND THEN YOU'LL BE THERE TO PICK UP THE PIECES.
(normal voice) YOU KNOW ME. I'M VERY NURTURING.
(laughs) YEAH, VERY NUR-- VERY, VERY NURTURING.
CHRISTINA.
"BETTY SUAREZ, YOUNG EDITOR IN TRAINING." OH.
THIS IS SO SWEET. OH, I WANTED YOU TO HAVE
SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR YOUR FIRST DAY.
JUST DON'T YOU FORGET ABOUT ME WHEN YOU'RE A BIG STAR
AND I'M STILL STUCK HERE IN MY TAILOR'S DUNGEON.
ALL RIGHT, I KNOW WHEN YOU'RE FEELING SORRY FOR YOURSELF.
WELL, I'VE BEEN RELINING WILHELMINA'S DRESS
FOR HER SUPER ELITE COCKTAIL PARTY,
EVEN THOUGH THE OLD ONE WAS PERFECTLY GOOD.
AND ALL THIS EXTRA BENDING DOWN'S MAKING ME FEEL DIZZY
BECAUSE I'M CARRYING HER LITTLE RODENT,
WHICH SEEMS TO BE KICKING ME IN THE GUT
EVERY FIVE SECONDS TODAY.
(crying) AND THE INTERNET HAS GONE DOWN.
(sobs)
SORRY.
IT'S ALL MY HORMONES. JUST...
OKAY. ALL RIGHT. OKAY.
HEY, HEY. YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD CHEER YOU UP? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?
COME TO HILDA'S.
SHE'S HAVING THIS HUGE REOPENING OF HER SALON. IT'LL BE FUN.
YEAH, THAT DOES SOUND LIKE FUN. I LIKE YOUR SISTER.
SHE SAYS WHAT'S ON HER MIND, AYE? AND SHE DRINKS.
(crying) I USED TO DRINK.
(whimpers)
OH, CHRISTINA, ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE GONNA BE OKAY?
NO, I'M FINE. I D-- I DO THIS ALL DAY LONG.
(sniffles) OH. OOH.
(normal voice) NOW GO. GO!
ARE YOU SURE? I'M POSITIVE. GO. GO.
UH, OKAY, BUT YOU'LL CALL ME IF YOU NEED ANYTHING?
YES! NOW GO AND HURRY UP.
I KNOW YOU'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS.
I AM. I AM SO EXCITED. CHRISTINA, THIS COULD BE
THE BEGINNING OF THE REST OF MY LIFE.
WELCOME TO THE FUNERAL.
THE MAGAZINE BUSINESS IS DYING.
(singsong voice) DYING.
(normal voice) DOES THAT FRIGHTEN YOU? IT SHOULD.
IT SCARES THE HELL OUT OF ME.
SO... WHAT DO YOU DO?
DO YOU GIVE UP
OR DO YOU TOUGHEN UP?
WHEN I ARRIVED IN NEW YORK
WITH MY CURLY HAIR AND THIS VOICE,
DO YOU THINK ANYONE TOOK ME SERIOUSLY?
NO.
THEY MOCKED ME.
SO FROM THEN ON... (whispers) I LOVE HER.
(whispers) DID YOU EAT ONIONS FOR LUNCH? I MADE DAMN SURE-- DO I HEAR TALKING?
HOW CAN THAT POSSIBLY BE? I'M TALKING.
GOOD. THANK YOU.
NOW LET'S GET STARTED. (mouths word)
UH, MARC ST. JAMES, RAISE YOUR HAND.
TELL ME THE NAME AND MAGAZINE
OF FIVE OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM. GO.
UH... HEATHER JACKSON, "GOURMET,"
TOM BUCKLEY, "SPORTS ILLUSTRATED,"
ERIC WEST, "HARPER'S,"
UH, EVIE F-FOSTER, "OUT"
AND RITA THOMPSON, "ROLLING STONE."
EXCELLENT.
BETTY SUAREZ. YES.
FIVE PEOPLE--NAME AND MAGAZINE.
UM...
UH... (exhales deeply)
UH... UH...
UM... WELL, I KNOW MARC. HE WORKS WITH ME AT "MODE."
HI, MARC. WHO ARE YOU?
HE'S JUST KIDDING. DIDN'T YOU MEET ANYONE AT THE MIXER?
OH, I WASN'T AT THE MIXER. I HAD A FAMILY OBLIGATION.
AND SINCE IT WAS JUST CASUAL, I SKIPPED IT.
WHO ELSE MISSED THE EVENT LAST NIGHT?
ANYONE ELSE HAVE A FAMILY OBLIGATION, A SICK HAMSTER?
NO?
GOOD. BECAUSE LAST NIGHT WASN'T CASUAL.
LAST NIGHT WAS AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR YOU TO LEARN SOMETHING
ABOUT YOUR FUTURE COLLEAGUES,
BUT I GUESS THAT WASN'T IMPORTANT TO MS. SUAREZ.
IT IS. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO ME.
CAN I CHANGE SEATS?
NO. FIRST ASSIGNMENT-- CONTACTS--
BY THIS TIME NEXT WEEK,
I WANT EVERYONE IN HERE TO HAVE 40 NEW ONES.
AND FAMILY DOESN'T COUNT.
YOU HAVE TO MAKE A LOT OF TOUGH CHOICES
IN THIS BUSINESS.
IF YOU CAN'T DO THAT,
THEN DON'T PLAN ON COMING BACK.

THANKS, BETTY.
YOU'RE DOING Y.E.T.I.
HUH? OH, UH, YEAH.
MY FRIEND JODIE'S RUNNING THAT THIS YEAR.
SHE'S REALLY TERRIFIC.
YEAH. YEAH, SHE'S, UH, GREAT.
SHE CAN BE PRETTY TOUGH, THOUGH.
YEAH, WELL...
SHE WAS A LITTLE UNFAIR TO ME... YESTERDAY, 'CAUSE,
YOU KNOW, I SHOWED UP TO CLASS COMPLETELY PREPARED,
AND THEN SHE CALLED ME OUT
'CAUSE I DIDN'T GO TO SOME SILLY NETWORKING THING.
WELL, NETWORKING IS ONE OF THOSE ANNOYING THINGS,
BUT IF YOU'RE SERIOUS ABOUT YOUR CAREER,
IT'S SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO DO. (elevator bell dings)
WELL, I HAD A FAMILY THING, YOU KNOW?
I COULDN'T DISAPPOINT THEM.
I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW MANY THINGS I'VE HAD TO MISS
BECAUSE OF MY JOB.
YOU JUST ASK MOLLY.
YEAH, WELL, IT MIGHT NOT MATTER ANYWAY.
SHE TOLD ME THAT IF I CAN'T GET
40 NEW CONTACTS BY NEXT CLASS,
NOT TO COME BACK.
ALL RIGHT, BETTY,
YOU DO WHAT I DID WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE.
YOU FIND SOMEBODY
WHO'S REALLY GOOD AT THE SUPERFICIAL STUFF
AND YOU DO WHAT THEY DO.
(gasps)
MY ANSWER IS NUH-OH.
OH, MARC, COME ON. PLEASE. I'M SO DESPERATE.
OKAY. GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON WHY I SHOULD DO THIS.
UM, WELL, MAYBE BECAUSE IF I HADN'T STEPPED ASIDE,
YOU WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN INTO Y.E.T.I. TO BEGIN WITH.
OH-HO! YOU'RE GONNA BRING UP THAT OLD CHESTNUT AGAIN. FINE.
YOU DO NOT GET TO PLAY THIS CARD AGAIN. OKAY?
MEET ME AND AMANDA AFTER WORK. WE'LL TAKE YOU TO SWILL.
EVERYONE YOU NEED TO MEET WILL BE THERE.
GREAT. OH, WAIT. NO, MARC, I CAN'T DO THAT.
I PROMISED MY SISTER I'D HELP-- BUP, BUP, BUP, BUP, BUP. DON'T CARE.
YOU GOT ME TONIGHT OR NOT AT ALL.
(scoffs)
HILDA, HI.
LOOK, I'M SO SORRY,
BUT I'M NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO HELP OUT TONIGHT.
OH, BETTY, WE WERE SUPPOSED TO DO THESE GIFT BAGS TOGETHER.
I KNOW, AND--AND WE STILL ARE, JUST TOMORROW.
SEE, IF I DON'T DO THIS Y.E.T.I. THING TONIGHT,
THEY'RE GONNA KICK ME OUT.
FINE. I GET IT. WE'LL DO IT TOMORROW. BYE.
BYE. (beep)
SWEETIE...

IF BETTY HAD A CHOICE, YOU KNOW SHE'D BE HERE.
YEAH. COME ON. WE GOT WORK TO DO.
ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
UH, EXCUSE ME A SECOND. MOLLY.
DANIEL. HEY.
HI.
SO DID THE DRESS WORK OUT?
OH, YEAH. IT WAS GREAT.
YOU KNOW, IT WAS VERY, UH, GLAMOROUS.
ACTUALLY, I JUST CAME TO RETURN IT, SO...
UM...
ALL RIGHT. UM, AWESOME.

YOU KNOW, I-- DANIEL, CAN WE--
I... NO, YOU GO. GO AHEAD.
(chuckles)
UH...
(lowered voice) WE JUST--WE NEVER...
GOT A CHANCE TO TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED,

YEAH.
I JUST--I WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT--
(Connor) HEY, BABE. HEY.
READY FOR LUNCH? MM-HMM.
THANKS FOR KEEPING HER COMPANY, MATE.
BYE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
YOU KNOW, I-I'VE BEEN WITH A MILLION WOMEN.
EVERY TIME I'M AROUND HER, IT'S LIKE...
I JUST ACT LIKE A STUPID TEENAGER.
BECAUSE YOU CARE FOR HER.
GOD, I'M SUCH AN IDIOT.
YES, BUT YOU'RE ALSO HUMAN.
YOU KNOW, I-I SWEAR MOLLY WAS
JUST ABOUT TO SAY SOMETHING IMPORTANT,
AND, OF COURSE, THAT'S WHEN CONNOR CAME UP AND KISSED HER.
(scoffs) WELL, MAYBE "MODE'S" NOT THE PLACE FOR THAT CONVERSATION.
YEAH, BUT WHAT CHOICE DO I HAVE?
WELL, YOU'RE BOTH COMING TO MY PARTY ON FRIDAY.
KNOWING CONNOR, HE'LL BE WORKING THE ROOM.
IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO FINISH YOUR CONVERSATION,
UNINTERRUPTED.
HMM.
HERE'S MY CARD. M-MAYBE WE'LL DO BUSINESS SOMEDAY.
UH, "THE GORGEOUS GOURMET"--
THAT IS CATCHY. OH.
HERE'S MINE. THANKS.
ALL RIGHT, TALK TO YOU LATER. OKAY.
WELL? THAT WASN'T SO--
TERRIBLE. HORRIBLE.
COULD NOT HAVE GONE WORSE. (scoffs)
YOU SPENT 22 MINUTES AND 47 SECONDS
TALKING TO A CATERER. A CATERER.
A CATERER! HE WAS INTERESTING.
USELESS!
THE POINT OF NETWORKING IS TO GATHER INFORMATION
TO ADVANCE YOUR CAREER.
WATCH AND LEARN.
STEP ONE--FORGE A BOND...
YOUR NAME, WHERE YOU WORK AND ONE MEMORABLE FACT.
I'M MARC ST. JAMES. I WORK FOR WILHELMINA SLATER.
I ONCE HAD A THREESOME WITH JON HAMM AND MIA HAMM.
I CALLED IT THE NIGHT OF THE HAMM SANDWICH. (woman chuckles)
WELL, THAT'S RIDICULOUS.
IT'S MEMORABLE. BUT IT'S A LIE.
OR IS IT? IT IS.
(gasps)
STEP TWO-- GATHERING INFORMATION...
IN ORDER TO GET INFO, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GIVE INFO.
DO YOU KNOW WHY HEIDI KLUM NEVER WEARS OPEN-TOED SHOES?
THE TRICK IS TO MAKE IT SOUND JUICY
BUT REALLY MEAN NOTHING.
12 LITTLE PIGGIES. OH, YEAH. IT'S DISGUSTING.
I'M NOT EVEN KIDDING ABOUT THAT.
SO WHAT WERE YOU SAYING ABOUT NEXT MONTH'S COVER MODEL?
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, STEP THREE--THE EXIT STRATEGY.
GET IN, GET INFO, GET OUT.
SEE, I-I DON'T LIKE TO BE RUDE.

ABOUT SOMETHING I WAS DOING FOR A CHANGE. OH, I AM. I AM. I-I JUST--
I JUST HAVE TO DO THIS REALLY QUICK. I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
YOU KNOW WHAT, BETTY? DON'T BOTHER.
HILDA.
PAPI, CAN YOU TALK TO HER, PLEASE? SHE'S BEING RIDICULOUS.
NO, SHE'S NOT. YOU ARE.
WHAT? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW HARD HILDA WORKED
TO GET ALL THIS READY, BY HERSELF, I MIGHT ADD?
THAT IS NOT FAIR. PAPI, THIS IS MY CAREER.
I AM WORKING HARD TO TRY AND MOVE UP.
AND IF THAT MEANS THAT I'M GONNA MISS
A FAMILY PARTY EVERY NOW AND THEN,
WELL, THEN I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE. I HAVE TO DO THIS.
YOU DO HAVE A CHOICE. YOU'RE CHOOSING TO LEAVE.
DAD. NO, NO. NO ONE SUPPORTS YOU MORE THAN YOUR FAMILY.
WE ARE ALWAYS BEHIND YOU 100%.
BUT RIGHT NOW HILDA NEEDS YOU.
PAPI, I AM SORRY THAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS,
BUT I HAVE TO GO.

CONNOR, MOLLY,
SO GLAD YOU MADE IT.
HEY. YOUR PLACE IS AMAZING. WHAT A GREAT VIEW OF THE CITY.
OH, THANKS. WELL, I LOVE LOOKING DOWN
AT THE LITTLE PEOPLE GOING ABOUT THEIR LITTLE LIVES. (chuckles)

OKAY. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
THE BEST WAY TO SAY THIS,
BUT.. THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ONE.
UM...
I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET YOU OUT OF MY MIND
SINCE WE MET.
DANIEL, I--
PLEASE. J-JUST LET ME FINISH.
I KNOW I SHOULDN'T DO THIS.
I KNOW IT'S--IT'S BAD AND TERRIBLE AND WRONG,
AND I'M JEOPARDIZING A FRIENDSHIP
AND A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP.
I MEAN, YOU... CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MANY TIMES
I'VE TRIED TO TALK MYSELF OUT OF THIS.
BUT I CAN'T CHANGE THE WAY I FEEL.
DANIEL...
I'M ENGAGED.
I-- CONNOR AND I HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR ALMOST FOUR YEARS.
HE HAS BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH WITH ME.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH. I DON'T WANT TO HURT HIM.
NEITHER DO I.
MOLLY...
IF YOU CAN HONESTLY TELL ME YOU DON'T HAVE FEELINGS FOR ME,
I'LL LET YOU WALK OUT THAT DOOR, GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE.
I'LL NEVER SAY ANOTHER WORD ABOUT THIS AGAIN.
I PROMISE.
SO I LEAN ACROSS TO HER AND I WHISPER...
(whispers) "NO, THAT'S AL PACINO."
(normal voice) SHE SAYS, "I DIDN'T ORDER A CAPPUCCINO."
(laughs) OH, ZAC. IT'S THAT ACCENT.
I MEAN, WHO CAN UNDERSTAND A WORD HE SAYS?
WHO CARES WHAT HE SOUNDS LIKE? LOOK AT THE WAY HE LOOKS.
SO, UH, HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DATING?
OH. OH, NO, NO. NO. NO, WE'RE NOT.
WE'RE--WE'RE NOT DATING. I'M SORRY. IT'S JUST--YOU MAKE THE MOST DIVINE COUPLE.

WELL, WE DEFINITELY GET WHERE EACH OTHER'S COMING FROM.
THAT CAN BE HARD TO FIND.
CONNOR, I, UM, I-I HAVE TO ADMIT,
EVER SINCE WE HAD OUR BUSINESS TRIP,
I FIND IT HARD TO BE AROUND YOU.
I'M SORRY. I'M NOT FEELING TOO WELL.

NO, NOT AT ALL.
