Birth department working on layouts for big ads. It'll come out when the line

takes off.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Hey, I'm just returning the last time of favors. After all, you always on my

side when I was growing up.

And now that I'm growing up. I'm on your side.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

After all, what are baby brothers for, right?

To Julian Morrell.

To Julian Morrell.

Julio, these dresses are really nice. If they all looked this good... You call

these nice?

I call them fabulous.

Julio.

Hey, I'm happy for you.

Well, that's a switch from the last time I saw you. She was telling me to get

lost. Well, the last time I saw you, you were driving me crazy. I mean, you

deserved it. So you get me fired?

I'm sorry. I just thought they'd give you a warning. I didn't think that they

would... Stacey.

It's okay.

The way I look at it, without you, there would be no Julian Morrell.

So, thanks for getting me fired.

Well, I always pride myself on my helpfulness to others.

Yeah, well, you can be helpful now and help me move this mannequin over there.

Don't push it, Julio.

Guard him with your life.

Morning, Mr. Hughes, Mrs. Barringer.

Tammy Springer, isn't it?

Yes, that's right. Oh, this is very interesting.

Are you upgrading the apartment?

A new line.

Julian Murrell collection.

Babs' latest discovery.

Oh, right.

I'm so surprised that Simon gave her a go -ahead on a business venture like

this. Oh, he didn't. Miss Bradley did.

Oh, Shane Bradley approved this.

Then it must have merit.

Keep up the good work, Miss Bradley.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Do you have any of these in an eight? Well, these are just samples.

Oh, miss, they'll be available to you the day after tomorrow.

You like them?

Love them.

I'll be back.

She'll be back. She loved them. I heard.

I'm here to see Shane Bradley.

Danny Kruczek.

I'm afraid you have to settle for seeing me, Danny.

Shane's in Los Angeles.

Thanks, fellas.

What can I do for you?

For me?

You can make sure that I got three of Berenger's trucks for next week. I got

them coming in from the suburban store.

I say the trucks need maintenance.

No one misses them.

Great. What's Shane doing in L .A.? Well, officially meeting with designers.

Unofficially, he gets her off the hot seat with the press.

Out of sight, out of mind.

What are you bringing in with the trucks?

Uh, it's nothing important.

It might next in the line. I want to know what I'm getting into.

Don't press me, Todd.

I'd hate to think that you don't trust me.

Look, I know how busy you are, so I'll let you get back to work, okay? All

right? All right, Danny. Take care. Yeah.

Danny.

Listen,

about the 10 grand I owe you... Billy, I'm not here to collect the money.

I trust you.

Great. Couple of more hours and we're home free.

Julio, promise me one thing.

What's that?

If they sell out and we need more... If?

When?

When we need more.

We'll do this the right way, won't we? I mean, stop sneaking into this place.

Contract with the factory instead.

And no more creative bookkeeping.

We'll tell Mrs. Segarba the truth.

Make her aware of how much it really costs.

Who makes these dresses?

Give her realistic figures. I'm way ahead of you.

We deliver this order, and we're home free.

We won't make the same fight.

Please connect me to the police. This is an emergency.

I'd call this breaking and entering, wouldn't you?

Your honor's brother, aren't you? Yes, but she didn't say it was my idea.

You're here.

It's a great relief to know there was someone present who's familiar with the

equipment. Any maintenance problems?

Good. I like to run a tight ship.

Look, when the dress is sold, I'll reimburse you for the use of the

All right?

All right?

All right?

Julian Morrell.

Upscale. Nice.

I don't recognize you.

I'm Julia's wife.

More family, I see.

Sort of a cottage industry you have going here.

Anyone ever tell you you're supposed to use your own cottage? I'll pay you twice

the going rate.

You may be a fair designer, Julian, but you're a lousy negotiator. After all,

you used my machines in my factory without my permission.

As I see it.

That gives me the rights to all these garments.

What, are you out of your mind?

Mr.

Allen, they're expecting delivery of these dresses today.

When they sell, we'll pay you what you want.

But if you keep them here off the rack, how will we be able to repay you? It

makes good sense for you to let us deliver them.

Julio did not intend to take advantage of you, sir. He was trying to make the

most of an opportunity, that's all.

What we did was wrong.

But taking away his one opportunity, that's worse.

You want me to beg?

Is that it?

All right.

I'm begging.

Let me have the dresses, please.

We can work something out.

I'm not an unreasonable man.

Pay the rental fee by tonight and the dresses are yours.

How much?

$20 ,000.

What?

Why

is

Julian doing this to me? You know Artis. Very talented. But not very dependable.

He promised me the garments today.

Well, Julio has a tendency to be very, uh...

What?

Well, he doesn't do things in a conventional way.

That was meant to make me feel better, it didn't.

I'm not asking you to give away your life savings, baby.

Just whatever you can spare.

I mean, isn't that what family's for?

We'd do the same for you.

What can I say?

We need your help.

Busy. Thank you, baby. We appreciate it.

So far, I've managed to round up around

$800. $800?

What is that?

Chicken feed. We need $20 ,000.

Then I'll just keep making calls until I get it.

I knew this whole business would lead to trouble.

Dreams. Where do they get you?

Anna.

Please help me with these calls.

He's your brother.

Don't remind me.

I've pleaded with Julio to ask Mrs. DeGala for more money. He won't.

He's my husband.

I'm scared for him.

What am I supposed to do?

Pretty hot.

Listen, you want me to meet you at the restaurant tonight? That way you don't

have to come all the way uptown.

Honey, I have to cancel.

Now, it's not the end of the world. The restaurant's still going to be there.

That's not the point.

Hey, don't pat.

You'll start looking cute again.

John, this was supposed to be a special dinner to make up. I'm sorry it wasn't

important to you, but it meant a lot to me.

Well, me too.

What came up?

Your friend attempted suicide again? No, don't tell me he had to go to the

hospital.

Cammy, that's... That's not fair.

John, I went to bed with you. Doesn't that mean anything?

Well, sure.

Now, look.

You want to be sophisticated.

Now, all of New York goes to bed with each other, and nobody makes a federal

case out of it.

Well, I guess I haven't been in New York long enough, because it means a lot to

me. So all I did was cancel a date.

I mean, you're making a big deal out of it.

Now, we can have dinner tomorrow night.

No, we can't. We're going to be busy.

I'll call you, huh?

I get the impression that you may be free for dinner.

What?

I'm asking you to go to dinner with me tonight.

What's the matter with you guys?

What do you think I am, some kind of pushover?

Sorry.

Speaking of Behringer, Shane, how did you get yourself into that mess?

Oh, Ellen, not you too.

It was getting a divorce when I met him. I didn't break up that marriage.

Well, you know Simon Berenger gave me my job. Wait, wait, look. I'm not accusing

you of anything. You're still my hero.

Heroine.

I broke into this business because of you.

And I followed your advice every step of the way, not just about style and

fabric. But you taught me never to mix my business life with my personal life.

Great advice.

Look at me.

That's what I thought. I'll pick up a piece. Is that okay with you, Cammy?

Cammy.

You guys go ahead. I'll catch up to you.

Her taste is finally improving.

Hi.

Oh, hi.

I believe in a well -balanced diet, you know.

Listen, I'm really sorry for blowing up at you earlier.

No, look, it was bad timing on my part, really.

I apologize.

Okay, okay.

It was your fault.

The invitation is still open.

For dinner.

Oh, I don't know. Stacy was going to pick up a pizza.

I was kind of in the mood for Italian myself.

Mr. Barringer, Miss Bradley is not in her room and doesn't answer her page.

Thanks, Phyllis.

She's probably out at a meeting. Why don't you leave word and try again in an

hour? Thank you.

Well, it can't be all bad.

Paul Barringer is cute.

But he's married. I'm in love with a married man who happens to be my boss.

don't knock love.

I haven't been in love since I was 15.

Bye.

See you soon, Ellen.

Danny?

Shane. Danny, what a surprise.

Pleasant surprise?

Oh, sure.

Are you here in business?

What else?

Staying at this hotel.

Any objections?

No. Good.

Let's go.

Okay,

your turn. Tell me what it was like growing up in a family like this.

Oh, it was great.

It was like the shop.

I think that would be so much fun to have a whole store to play in.

That's what we did on our first date.

We spent the whole night in the store.

You and John Higgins?

I don't want to talk about it.

Neither do I.

I even knew about his reputation.

I just thought I could be different.

Well, if he doesn't know that you're different, then you don't want him

right?

Right? Right.

Right.

You did knock my socks off.

You what?

Faith, you told me that... John Higgins would knock my socks off.

And he did.

What else did Stacy tell you?

He would break my heart.

at either one of those numbers.

Thank you. I'll try again later.

I can't raise $20 ,000 in one day. Not enough time.

Not my problem.

Charge me interest, okay? You name the rate, I'll sign a note.

If you could afford the interest, you wouldn't be here now.

Look, I'm good at what I do.

My designs will sell, then there'll be more orders.

I'm just getting started.

$20 ,000 is nothing compared to what I can earn in the future.

$20 ,000, son, is everything when you don't have it.

What do you want from me, man?

We're wasting our time.

Are you crazy?

That's serious. I can't agree to 50%. Well, I'm sorry you feel that way.

But I can respect your decision.

Look, I'll be right with you.

This order has first priority.

So what can I do for you?

One -third.

And you rehire my sister and the others.

Of course, you would bring any and all production work to this factory.

All right, agreed. One -third.

Write a note to that.

Your brother insists I rehire you. He drives a hard bargain.

You'll be in the stockroom, of course, but in time.

If you prove yourself, I see no reason why you can't be here on the floor

Welcome back.

Very nice, Julio.

Well written.

Ah, just one moment.

What is it?

Just time.

Yes, please do. I don't want anyone to think I coerced you.

Good morning.

How's the water?

Great. I thought you were supposed to be working.

I am.

But that doesn't mean we can't have a swim.

A good breakfast.

How nice. I've been staying at this hotel for many years and I've never had

service like this.

Well, I'm expecting a big tip.

Please.

Oh, this is lovely.

Like it?

Yeah. Good.

Isn't it good to be away?

Yeah.

It must be kind of rough, what you've been through lately.

Newspapers, television, that whole routine.

No worse than being hit by a truck or run over by a train.

Well, look, if you need me, I'm here.

Uh -uh.

You've done too much already.

Thank you.

So, when do you finish your work here?

Oh, I'm finished with my work.

You are? Well, why are you... Here?

Because you're here.

Danny, I'm a little bit... You need a friend right now.

This isn't the first storm I've weathered.

I'm used to being alone.

Traveling alone.

Sometimes it's simpler that way.

Coffee?

You know, Danny, it would be very unfair if I let you think that this could be

anything more than a friendship.

How about a good friend?

Good friend.

Have you seen the Julian Morrell line?

Is it marked down?

No, it just arrived.

Excuse me, but you have a telephone call, Julia?

Excuse me.

What is the matter with you?

Hi. How's it going?

The dresses aren't moving, Babs.

What do you mean, not moving?

What's wrong with these people? Why aren't they selling? I don't know. Maybe

we just change the display.

Hold it. Wait a minute.

We have been open approximately one hour and 32 minutes. What do you expect?

I expect them to sell.

Take a walk.

Get some fresh air. Have a cup of coffee. Have a shot of whiskey. Anything

but...

Couldn't we change the lighting in here or something?

I don't believe this. I know how we can sell these dresses.

Are you out of your mind?

We want the most dramatic outfits and more people will notice it. More people

will notice it in the middle of 3rd Avenue, Julia. Where I will put it if

don't get down from there. I think this is better. No? What do you think, Stacy?

I think...

I think we should trust the good judgment of our display department.

Oh.

Are we getting in your way?

No, you're getting in the customer's way. I mean, how can we sell anything if

you're fussing with it?

You're right.

Oh, Julian, my goodness.

What are you doing? Ow, ow, ow.

The dress.

Thank you.

Yes. Do you like it?

Mm -hmm.

You certainly have an eye.

So I'm told.

What is it you wanted to tell me, Gloria?

You look like the proverbial cat who swallowed the canary. Simon, you know me

too well.

Paul and I are halfway to reconciling. No, I'm delighted to hear it.

Congratulations. A rare victory for taste and good judgment. And with Shane

of town.

Oh, well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but she'll be back tomorrow.

Oh, well, whenever.

Because when Paul gets over this embarrassingly juvenile infatuation with

which for David's sake I hope is soon, I'm going to make a real effort to

a part of the store.

I think it might strengthen my marriage.

I only hope that Shane's professionalism isn't compromised by the end of the

affair. I know from experience how hard it is to break up with Paul.

And she's so valuable to the store.

Don't be too hard on her if the emotional trauma affects her work

Thank goodness for Todd. He's taking up the slack in her absence.

One can already see he's doing a terrific job.

Remove the Julian Morrell line?

Substitute some other merchandise.

You know how valuable this sports base is?

But we just introduced these dresses. We're not voting on this decision, Miss

Russell. I said replace the Morrell dresses with a proven seller.

But Miss Bradley said... When Miss Bradley's in town, you follow her

When she's not, follow mine.

Oh, wow. That is one fabulous dress. Whose is it?

Julianne Morel.

Julianne Morel, the hot new designer.

Where could I get a dress like that?

The Young New Yorker shop, second floor.

The Young New Yorker shop, second floor.

Thanks, Laura.

I think we might... What are they doing?

Replacing Julian Morrell. What?

Orders. Can you show me the line your model is wearing?

Julian Morrell. Oh, yes, certainly, ma 'am, but we better hurry.

Yes, here, follow me.

He's so wonderful.

Well,

what a coincidence.

Leaving at the same time.

I wouldn't be surprised if we're on the same flight.

Must be in the stars.

What if I were going to Mexico City?

istanbul oh i've got urgent business all over the world you take your

friendships very seriously don't you then

I think you've heard about our very important plan in connection with the

Chinese government to have a merchandising program.

Mr. Barringer, the Julian Morrell collection could be a great seller if

would just give it a chance. No designer could make it with only a couple of

hours' exposure to the public. I can't believe you're doing this, sir, with all

due respect.

If you had any respect, young lady, you wouldn't have barged into my office

uninvited. What's your name?

Camus. Springer, young New Yorker shop. I'm sorry, but it's... I have no idea

what it is you're talking about, young lady.

And if you have any problem, will you please take it up with your supervisor?

Good day.

But you're canceling the Julian Morrell line without even seeing what it looks

like. At least look at it.

It's a natural seller. It's a beautiful line. The customers love it.

Laurel's only been modeling it for a few hours, and already we have requests

coming in by the dozen. It could put Berenger's on the map.

I have a vague suspicion that millions of New Yorkers think we're already on

map.

Of course, I know. I meant that it could be a great seller. It just needs a

little more exposure.

And you say the customers like this line?

Yes.

Well, it's wise not to second -guess the customers.

Tell your supervisor to leave the line on the floor.

Yes, sir.

Thank you, sir.

And the Springer.

I suggest that in the future you find a less dramatic way to make your

recommendations known. Not everyone is as tolerant as I am.

Yes, sir.

Are you sure you wouldn't get to sit in the car, Miss Bradley? I don't want to

sit.

Thank you.

The Seattle police has confirmed the warrant for your husband's arrest. My ex

-husband's. I'm sorry.

The warrant for your ex -husband's arrest is outstanding.

And the photo you supplied.

That's five years old.

I appreciate that fact.

But it's more than we get to go in on a lot of cases.

Did you call the cab company?

One of our detectives is trying to trace the fairness.

Did you run a name check?

The phone book?

Credit cards?

Library card.

You know our procedures well.

Unfortunately, I've been through this before.

So then you should also know that police resources are limited.

If your husband saw you... I'm not sure he did.

I understand.

But if he did recognize you, it's a safe bet that he's taking special

precautions to stay undetected.

I want you to be realistic about our chances of finding him.

We will do our best.

But the odds are not good.

Jane?

All right, I'll catch the next plane out.

There's nothing you can do here, Paul.

I can be with you.

Look, Shane, I'll do anything you want me to do.

No, don't come out.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

There's no hurry for you to get back.

Take all the time you need.

Shane. What?

Are you sure this time?

I'm never sure, you know that.

It's been five years.

Let's talk later, Paul.

Okay.

I love you.

Thank you.

Excuse me, I can't find a size six in a white one with a big puffy sleeve.

Could you check in the back for me? Oh, all of our stock is on the floor. I am

so sorry.

Where can I try this on? Oh, the dressing room is right back there. The

rooms are full. I'm sorry you're going to have to wait.

You better be happy to be this busy. It's a size six. Now, if you can't sell

this now, I'm going to be back to pick it up later, okay? Okay.

I'll have them delivered.

I heard there was a course for celebration.

Oh, you heard right.

All right.

Here you go. Oh, I've never proposed a toast to the best designer.

Uh -uh. The best partner.

Oh, no. The best sales team. Well, here it is. The champagne.

Oh, this improves working conditions considerably.

I'll say. I'll say. Oh, Daddy.

Oh.

How about some champagne?

There's a time and place for everything.

And this seems to be the right time and place for champagne.

I only hope your little celebration isn't premature.

Cheers. Cheers.

Excuse me.

Working.

You and your young friend deserve a lot of the credit for this.

Not really.

This is exciting, isn't it?

Oh, you heard about these two girls barging into my office. They gave me a

pitch I couldn't refuse.

Your line is very beautiful, Mr. Chicago.

Thank you.

Well, excuse me.

Certainly.

Well?

Well, what, Barbara?

You just can't say it, can you?

Say what?

You can't say I was wrong about my daughter.

My daughter did something worthwhile.

My daughter has good judgment.

You can't say congratulations, Beth.

They still don't give medals for a 10 -yard dash, Barbara.

When you prove to me that this isn't a fluke, you'll get more than my

congratulations.

You'll earn my respect.

Let me get you some more champagne.

Give the old girl a break.

You can do it.

Hey, baby.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Babs.

Very impressive. Thank you. Thank you. I really am proud of you, Mom. Thank you,

Melody.

You know, we all should get together sometime to celebrate.

So what did the cabbie say?

The cabbie didn't know anything about them. He just dropped them off at the

restaurant. The restaurant's never seen them before. Dead end.

Wait a minute.

You're telling me you stopped looking?

Nowhere to look.

You knocked on every door in L .A.? Danny, we got better things to do

chase after some brat.

We've got nothing else to do.

You got it?

Okay.

I got some free time.

I'm sorry.

But don't worry.

Maybe people would buy the dresses tomorrow.

Yeah, well.

We'd better hurry up, because most of them were sold today.

How could you do that to me?

It's just such an easy target.

The Moreau line for success in the Beringers is going to reorder.

You're so wonderful.

And so talented.

And so handsome. And I'm all yours.

Okay. Go get dressed because Julie and Moreau are going to take you out to

celebrate. Where are we going?

To the most expensive restaurant I can find.

Non -smoking will be fine, thank you.

No, I'll pick the ticket up at the airport.

Thank you.

Are you going somewhere?

I don't have time to chat right now, Gloria.

Shane saw our daughter in Los Angeles and I'm flying out there to help her

the search.

Oh, the poor woman.

Well, I hope she finds her.

Be sure to pack your vitamin E.

Paul.

Shane is very newsworthy right now. It would be awful if word of her

were published. It might alert her husband, and then she'd never find her

Not even you would stick to that.

So that's what you think of me.

I only meant that if you suddenly turn up in L .A., it's going to draw

to Shane.

I was only thinking of her.

Here's another one of Emily.

She was just learning to walk, then she'd fallen and she cut her lip.

He must have told her I was dead.

Can you imagine how hard that was for her, thinking her mother had died?

Here she is, five years old.

She wanted a pony for her birthday.

I guess most kids do at that age.

I should have bought her the pony.

Why didn't I buy her the damn pony?

You want to... You want to know the worst thing of all... I don't remember

what I last said to her.

She was out in the garden playing and Jack came to pick her up. And she came

running over to me to tell me something.

I keep...

I'm trying to remember what it was.

Oh, it was something about her.

Her fish.

I keep trying to remember what I said to her.

I don't know if I said, go brush your teeth, or... I don't know if I told her

loved her.

Oh, God.

I hope I told her I loved her.

I thought I told her everything.

I taught her not to ride her bicycle in the street. I taught her not to talk to

strangers.

But I didn't... I didn't tell her how to find me if her father stole her.

I had so many things I wanted to talk to her about.
