You know what I feel

I'll

be free when you want me, I'll be ready

I'll be ready.

I'll be ready.

Good morning.

Hi.

Vanessa? She's gone back to her room.

Good morning.

I already said that.

Right.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Of course.

I love you.

You better.

Have you seen my purse?

It's on the chair.

I mean the other one.

I thought we were supposed to spend the day together.

I know, I know. I'm sorry.

The article of guts we scheduled for this morning.

Article? For what?

I told you about it. The article for the Times.

You remember.

Oh, that top ten thing.

The top 40 fashion writers. Under 40. So you're sharing the spotlight with 39

other writers.

Exclusives. Careful, Cormac.

Your horns are showing. I'm sorry, I'm just not in the business of giving ink

other publications.

It's an article about us, about our magazine.

It was about you.

Same thing.

Hey, come on.

This could be great for us.

This could get the magazine international exposure.

It'll give you exposure.

Someone sounds jealous.

Hardly.

Marketing loves the idea.

Remind me to fire them. Oh, Cormac, don't be such a poop.

Come on. I'm just kidding.

I'm really proud of you.

Really? Yeah.

It'll be a huge opportunity for you.

For us.

Thank you.

See what's good for me can be good for you too.

I'm beginning to see your point.

I thought you might.

What about your interview?

I have a few minutes.

Something to tide you over while I'm away.

How does somebody so small fit so much into their mouth?

I can tell you one thing that's never going to be in my mouth.

Oh, please, help yourself.

Well, thank you.

I don't mind if I do.

Are you stalking me?

What? I just came by for some breakfast.

There's a whole empty counter over there.

Well, sure, but I look better in close -up.

Better than what?

Yeah.

Hey, honey.

Can I get you anything?

No, no. He's not staying.

Actually, I would love some coffee.

Sure. Be right back.

I'll be coming down in seconds.

Oh, excuse me while I barf. Oh, so that's how you stay so thin.

So funny.

So, anyways, how are you doing?

Good, till about a minute ago.

And how are you?

Actually, pretty good.

Javon has really been giving me a...

Helping hand.

Oh, I bet.

Hey, Cody.

Richard, what are you doing here, man?

You know, an agent's work is never done.

You said giving me a helping hand.

What kind of helping hand?

Just some tricks for the runway, you know. Some tips I picked up over the

I do it with most of my new clients.

Oh, well, hey, man, I could always use some tips.

Oh, you're being too modest.

Giovanna says you're doing great.

Oh, so I guess that means you got a few more modeling gigs lined up for me?

Yeah, we're working on it. I'm sure something's going to happen soon.

You ready to go?

Ready when you are.

Here's the coffee.

Thanks.

A little more attitude.

We want to project everything bigger.

Okay. Sure.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Just nervous, I guess.

Nothing to be nervous about. You are going to kill that next photo shoot.

I just feel bad that I'm taking up all your time. I know how busy you are. No

trouble at all. You know, I'm never too busy for my clients, especially ones

with so much potential.

I think so.

Absolutely. Come here. Take a look at that.

I look like a deer stuck in headlights.

No, you're focusing on the details.

Notice the way your skin and eyes look on film.

Mesmerizing.

You know, poses and attitude can be taught, but at the end of the day, the

camera either loves you or it doesn't.

Lucky for you, the camera loves you. A lot.

Oh, hey Lacey, how's it going?

Oh, hi Joanne.

Where is everyone?

Oh, it doesn't usually pick up until around six.

But you're here early. You want to meet Jason?

Marilyn, girls night.

Do I have a new job going?

Oh, it's not exactly the industry that I had hoped for, but, you know, I still

get to audition now and then, and, you know, I paid the bills.

Do you do this part -time or full?

Part -time.

Can I get you a drink, though?

Yeah, gin and tonic, thanks.

You know, my assistant quit.

Stephanie? Yeah.

Anyway, I could use some help, if you're interested. No, I mean, yes.

I mean, I'd love to.

It's only part -time, but we can work around your schedule here. At the very

least, it would help.

Um, I mean, much more than that. I'd just be happy to be back in the fashion

industry. Good.

I'll stop by my place in the morning, then. That sounds perfect.

Cheers.

Cheers.

What are we toasting?

My new assistant.

Hey, congrats.

You still serve drinks, though, right?

Yeah, what can I get you? Rum and Coke.

So how'd the interview go?

Great. I made number seven.

Number seven out of top 40?

Oh, my God.

Weren't we this hot shit fashion writer? It gets better.

They offered me a job.

What? Writing for the time?

Yeah, it's just a monthly article to start, but... Shit.

Who's that?

Who else?

Cormac.

Seriously, he's been calling for an hour.

He probably just wants to know how it went.

Yeah, that's the problem.

What do you mean?

You know how possessive Cormac is.

What's he going to see when they tell him that I'm writing a monthly article

another publication?

It's the time.

Tell him it's great exposure for his magazine.

Yeah, I already tried that. I don't think he bought it.

What? Nothing. You just look really pissed off.

The first thing I teach any of my new clients is that a strong, aggressive

down the runway exudes confidence.

Or it just looks like someone owes you money.

Yeah. Whatever works. Now you try.

What?

I'm not doing it right? No, no. You're fine. It's just...

I never realized I looked like that.

Oh, man.

Thank you.

So is this what you teach all your clients?

Actually, the best things can't be taught.

They can only be learned through experience.

Like what?

Well, like how to control an audience, how to get the perfect angle on camera.

Anything else?

Well, that depends.

What do you want?

Everything.

Well, I can teach you how to get that, too.

with your boyfriend and your roommate.

And this morning things got awkward.

Very awkward.

Imagine that.

Seems like a good idea at the time.

Just keep an eye on how he acts around Vanessa.

Don't forget about that little fling they had.

He may love you, but this whole threesome thing is just going to whet

appetite for more.

You think once isn't enough for him?

It's time you tightened the leash a little bit.

Speaking of Dwight Lewis.

Hi, Cormac.

Yeah, I'm sorry. I meant to call.

The interview went well.

Yes, very exciting.

Listen, I'm just with Lacey right now.

Um, how about I give you a call in about an hour or so?

Okay.

Talk soon.

Are you going to tell him about the job offer?

I'm going to have to eventually.

Like when courage read my mind.

Lacey?

Hey, Lace.

Where have you been? I tried calling, but... Hey, Jason.

Can you hand me the towel?

You okay?

Yeah, I thought you were lacy.

Are you blushing?

Relax.

Nothing you haven't seen before.

In fact, as I recall, you weren't nearly so shy last night.

Yeah, but, you know, that was... Oh.

Sounds like someone's having regrets.

No. No.

I should get going. I'll let you get back to, uh... I enjoyed last night.

Maybe we should talk to Lacey about doing it again sometime.

I don't think that'd be such a good idea.

Yeah.

Maybe you're right.

I love Lacey.

Of course you do.

Very much.

So do I.

All the more reason we should do it again.

Bye.

Hi, Joanne.

Lacey's here.

I know.

You didn't say hi to her?

Well, I waved, she waved, so we're good. But how are you?

Busy. Luckily, my shift is almost over.

Long day, huh?

Yeah, but not all bad.

Lacey offered me a job.

Really? That's great.

Thanks.

I guess I was kind of worried you were going to be too happy about that.

Why wouldn't I be?

Well, if Stephanie's leaving, maybe you'd be a bit bummed. Me?

No.

It's time she and I took a break.

A break?

She moved to Cleveland.

I said it's time to move on.

Besides, you're going to be perfect as Lacey's new assistant.

You think?

Sure. You're smart.

You know the business.

And I mean, you know how to deal with models because you're one.

Besides, I'll be able to see a lot more of you.

Oh, is that what you want?

To see more of me?

Forget it.

What I mean is, I miss you.

You and I, we had a good thing, though.

We didn't have a thing. We had sex. Good sex.

Drink your beer.

What time do you get off?

You and I can go somewhere and we can just talk. We're talking now. And it's

noisy.

Read my lips.

I'm not going home with you.

When I said you could walk me home, I meant my home. Oh, relax.

It'll only be a minute. I'm just looking for my cell phone. You're expecting a

call at 11 .30 on a Monday night?

Talent agents call at all hours.

You know?

Uh -huh.

Ah! Found it.

Oh.

Since we're here, why not stay for a drink?

I don't think so. I start a new job in the morning. Remember?

The one with your sister?

Yeah, I know. I am familiar with the concept of work.

But one glass of wine is not going to kill you. Wow, with lines like that,

amazing you ever get laid.

Laid?

You have the wrong idea.

Yeah, I can see that.

I don't buy it.

It's not the way I remember it. Ah, you do remember.

I'm starting to think I lost my charm.

I hate to break it to you, but you didn't charm me over here.

I didn't?

Did I bruise your little fragile male ego?

No.

I'm going to let you in on a little secret.

Nothing you have said or done in the last hour has brought me to where I'm

standing right now. And yet, here you are. So I must be doing something right.

I'm here because I wanted to be here from the moment you sat down at the bar.

So you knew what I was doing the whole time?

Uh, yeah. James Bond, you are not. Why are you here?

I don't know.

You're kind of cute.

Cheap wine, bad lines and all.

Thank God I'm cute.

Wait.

You're seducing me.

Is that a problem?

No, I just... Should I be taking notes?

Alright.

That all you got to you?

Well, that was different.

That was better.

You're welcome.

I'm gonna head home.

Jason's probably waiting on me.

You going to Cormac?

Speak of the devil.

I'm gonna head home.

Let me know what happened.

Good luck.

Good night.

Hey, Cormac?

Hey, hon.

Sorry for calling again. I was worried.

Yeah, I meant to call sooner. Sorry.

So how was the interview?

Great. Really well.

You coming over tonight?

Not tonight.

I've had a lot to drink.

I think I'm just going to go home and sleep it off.

So, I'll see you in the morning.

Bright and early.

Just do me.
