All language subtitles for Platinum Blonde - Full Movie 2001 1h 31 min Compilation Video Pu

It's looked the same for a million
years.

And I know because that's how long I've
been watching over it.

Or, more exactly, watching over your sex
lives.

My name is Angela, and I'm a Cupid.

Most people think of us as fat babies
with bows and arrows flying around on

Valentine's Day.

Not true.

Cupids come in all shapes and sizes, and
we all take care of the affairs of the

heart. There's about a hundred of us
love agents working this planet.

Most of the time, folks find each other
pretty well.

Sometimes, love needs a little push, a
helping hand.

And that's where we cupids come in.

I mean, let's face it, if we left it up
to the mortals, nothing would get done.

Now, for the most part, we're supposed
to remain in the shadows, behind the

curtains and all that stuff, but not me.

I like to get down and dirty, if you
know what I mean.

And I will do anything in my power,
anything, to bring deserving lovers

together.

Sometimes it's hard to get people in the
right frame of mind, even when they're

surrounded by sex, day and night.

Lena, we need to get those codes.

Defuse the bomb and stop Dr.

Mangu from plowing up the moon.

I'm on the way with you, Tisha.

At first let's take a shower. Right.

That was beautiful.

All right, that's lunch, people.

You cutting zombie spies from space?

Yeah. Sign here.

You working on the pot?

I get around.

Cool.

She's pretty hot, huh?

Yeah, she's amazing.

She's not like the other actors. She's
got something, you know?

Well, here's your chance to tell her
because she's coming down the hall.

Crap.

You get a chance to read the new script
yet, baby?

Zombie cheerleaders on Skull Island.
That's going to be a classic.

Can't we do anything without zombies?

Tawny, baby. I simply give the public
what the public wants.

Hot chicks and zombies.

Okay, I don't start trends. I simply
ride them out.

Whatever. Let's move.

Hey, kid, how's the picture looking?

Oh, well, it's, uh...

Come on, spit it out.

I'm on the last scene, and it looks
pretty good.

Okay, of course it looks good. This is
what you do.

Spin off a copy, bring it by my house
this afternoon. I'm going to watch it,

and I'll give you notes.

I thought we were going out tonight.

No, sweetie, we're going to stay in.
Remember this.

Show business.

Waits for an old man.

Sure, I mean, that would be... Hi, I'm
Angela. I just started working for the

company.

It's nice to meet you, Miss Kane. I'm a
big fan.

Oh, well, thank you.

Jeff is just telling me what an amazing
talent you are. And I agree.

Well, thank you. Thank you both. Yeah,
blah, blah, blah. Come on, baby. We've

got to go to beat the traffic, okay?

Well, it was nice meeting both of you.

And Jeff, thanks for all your hard work.

What thanks? I'm paying him, okay? And I
pay him the work. Don't stare around and

gape. Come on, get to work, kid. Let's
go.

Go, go, go.

Well, I can see what you see in her, but
what's with that jerk?

He's my boss.

He's her boyfriend.

And a story.

Au contraire, my friend.

Hello? Anybody home?

Mr. Fontaine?

I can really see what you see in her.

Yeah, it's amazing.

They make

a really cute couple, but somehow I

get the impression that they're just
going with the motion.

It's just good news.

You're just the editor, right?

Yeah.

Is that the latest and greatest?

Yes, yes it is.

So what do you think?

You want my opinion?

Of course I do.

Next to Tony, you're probably the
closest one to the film.

Be honest.

Well, the plot is kind of a cliche.

Yeah, well, you don't need to tell me
that.

But even so, you managed to rise above
it.

It's like you're better than the movie,
you know?

You really think that?

Yeah, I do.

Well... Hey, you took the only towel.

Give me this.

Hey, is that my flick?

Thank you. Yes, sir. All right. We'll
just stand there looking at our yabus.

Give it here. Right. Sorry.

Anything else?

No. Okay. Then scram. I'll give you my
notes in the morning.

Right. Sorry, sir. Okay.

Hey, baby, how about whipping up one of
those sandwiches I love so much?

I'm dying of hunger over here.

Atta girl.

That was definitely a look.

Nah. You think so?

Oh, yeah.

I've seen a lot of looks, and that was
one.

Well, it still doesn't matter.

I mean, look at this place.

She couldn't get two squats about me.

Like I said before, au contraire, my
friend.

Yeah, but I still don't think... I know
what

you're thinking.

Him and her, it's a perfect match?

It's not that simple.

See, we have an overbearing boyfriend,
Jeff's self-esteem problems, and Tawny's

lack of confidence.

There's still a lot of work.

This is going to require my personal
touch.

Am I disturbing you?

No.

Sorry. Come in.

I just wanted to return this.

Oh, yeah, right.

No problem.

So you got Tony's notes?

Yeah, I'm just working on the final
touches now.

Do you mind?

No, please.

I never get to see

this part of the process.

Oh, it's not really a big deal.

Are you kidding?

Editing is what saves a movie.

Maybe.

Don't you ever get to take a lunch
break?

Usually not.

You hungry?

Actually, I'm supposed to eat lunch with
Tony, but he's been on the phone for the

last hour.

Would you like to join me?

Thanks.

So what scene are you working on?

Oh, the dressing scene.

Ah, yes, my centerfold moment.

My trademark, you know.

Let me see.

Heaven opened up and put you here.

It's so clear.

Oh, how, how could I not see that you
are golden for me,

dear? You are golden.

You've got something real and you can do
with it what you want to do.

Something's happening in you. You are
beginning to believe.

We are still learning, learning what we
know.

That we are masters of the dance, souls
of the world.

When we take a chance on someone, we
will find contagious rhythms moving

down. Something happening all around.

We are beginning to believe.

Thank you.

I remember that in the script.

Well, well, that's, uh... That was just
you, right?

Yeah.

Tells a lot of takes.

Doesn't it bother you being exploited
like this?

Oh, I don't look at it like that.

I mean, when I look through, I see this
hick farm girl who came to Hollywood

looking for stardom.

I mean, I know it's not the big leagues,
but in my little corner, it is big.

I actually think it's kind of a goof.

You ever want to go to the big leagues?

Oh, I don't have the talent for that.

Oh, yes, you do. I can see it.

Well, I'm flattered, but... You just
need a good script to shine in.

Like zombie cheerleaders on Skull
Island?

That's a piece of crap.

No, you read it.

Yeah, Tony likes me to make edit notes,
but it's really bad.

Well...

You know, I wrote something.

Really?

That's no big deal, but there's not a
zombie anywhere.

I love it already. Can I read it?

I don't know.

Please.

Well, it's just the first draft.

I can't wait to read it.

There you are. I've been screaming my
head off looking for you. Are we going

to tie on the feedback or what, babe?

I already ate.

Thanks, Jeff.

Pardon the F out of me. I'm still going
to eat. You can watch.

And you, editor boy.

Edit.

Sometimes you find yourself in the mood.

When there's no one around to satisfy
your special needs, what's the girl

going to do?

When you can't find a partner, make the
most of your time alone.

Platinum blonde vibrator.

Sometimes it's all you need.

So, if you really want good Chinese
food, you should go to China.

They've made an art of it.

How'd you do that? Weren't you just...
Must be the MSG.

So, how's it going?

Great. I just gave Connie my script to
read.

Oh, good for you.

Maybe she'll read it and then fall head
over heels for you.

I don't think so.

Why not?

Because stars like her fall for
directors and producers.

Never the writer.

Well, what if I told you she's reading
the script right now and she loves it?

I wouldn't believe you.

I am really impressed.

Told you so.

How did you do that?

Tricks with the trade.

Now, the question here is, are you going
to make your move?

I can't make a move on her.

Why not?

Because I don't have any moves. Oh, here
we go.

Look, I know my lot on life. This.

This is it.

It's okay.

Look, you'll never know unless you try.

Yeah, well, that's not going to happen.

You know what you need?

Is a little hands-on lesson.

In what?

You'll see.

Holy crap.

I know. Pretty cool, huh?

Now, let's get down to business.

What business?

This.

Relax.

I think that Chinese food gave me...

Poison. I'm hallucinating.

Hey, pay attention to me.

Now, feel me out.

But I... I... Come on, Jeff. You're
killing me here. Make your move.

I'm giving you permission.

Attaboy.

Slow down, killer.

Right.

Now, you just made love to a Cupid. And
let me tell you something.

You've got moves.

If you can make my wings sing, then you
can make Tony happy.

Well, I guess.

But it's not just moves. It's other
opportunities.

When will they learn?

Hello? Tony?

You read my script?

Really?

You want to discuss it?

Sure. Tonight?

Okay.

Bye.

Great. Now, if you've seen the grand
book, it's time for a change.

Like what?

Well, I have to do everything.

Perfect. Now go.

But it's not... I'm late.

Thanks.

I'm not some idol for you to put on a
pedestal.

You don't get it, do you?

Hell, you never did.

Pity.

We could have been really good together.

Now you can see what it's like to be
alone.

And don't say anything.

You'll only ruin my big exit.

Wow.

This is really good.

Not until you read it. I mean, my God,
you just bring it to life.

Have you shown this to Tony? Well, I
didn't think he would get it.

Yeah, he can be pretty thick sometimes.

Yeah, well... You know, I want to do
this movie, and I want you to direct it.

What? I can't. Of course you can.

Editors make the best directors.

They know exactly what to shoot.

Yeah, but I never... I mean, I always
thought, but... My God, this is

happening way too fast.

Listen, there's one thing I learned in
this business, and that's that you have

to move fast or you'll fall behind.

I mean, I know that sounds stupid. It's
kind of a Tony thing.

But, you know, if you've wanted
something all your life and it's staring

you right in the face, you have to grab
it.

Yeah, you're right.

What are you doing?

Kat, I'm sorry.

Yeah, what do you think you're doing? I
was just, uh, we were... Yeah, yeah,

yeah, I know what you were just doing.
Tony, just relax.

We were rehearsing a scene from his
script.

Script?

Yeah, that thing with all the words on
it that you always make me say. Yeah,

cute, but what is Edit Boy doing with
the script?

He wrote it, and it's great.

And I want to do it next, and I want him
to direct.

Yeah, well, you forget about it, baby,
okay? I'm your director.

Well, maybe it's time for a change.

What is this?

You edit boy, take your little script
and scram.

Now!

I'm sorry. I saw him come in and I
panicked.

We're doing this, okay?

Don't you worry.

I don't want to get you into trouble.

Listen, who's the star here, huh?

Say action.

Action!

Baby, wait.

You can't leave me.

I'm not some idol to put up on a
pedestal.

You don't get it, do you?

Hell, you never did.

Pity. We could have been so good
together.

Now you can see what it's like to be
alone.

Don't say a word. You'll only ruin my
big exit.

Cut. Cut!

Okay, people.

That's it, we're moving on.

The grand finale of all the Cupid's
efforts.

The union of two souls bound together by
love for all eternity.

Of course, sometimes it doesn't always
work out.

But that's because we Cupid's didn't get
involved.

Believe me, when we match you up, it's
sick.

Believe it or not, that's the happy
groom-to-be.

Slight problem.

That's not the bride-to-be. He's humping
in the closet.

Hank?

Hank, it's Joey.

Give me a second, bro.

Hey, how's it going?

Look, I was looking for a tie. I wanted
a different tie.

You're not wearing a tie.

I know, that's what I was looking for.

Oh, you.

Oh, cut it out.

Come on, bro, lighten up.

Everybody's leaving the party.

Should we go say goodbye?

Absolutely.

Come on, let's go.

Hey, thanks for coming, you guys.
Really.

Thank you so much for the gift. You
shouldn't have.

Thank you.

I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I see it.

I had such a good time with you,
sweetie.

Thank you so much.

When you're made of honor, of course I'm
going to be at your engagement party.

I'll see you later, Hank.

That's all I get.

Bye.

Bye.

What a day. I'm exhausted.

Well, do you want to take a nap?

Yeah. Just remember, you have to take me
out to dinner later.

I'm not even married yet, and already
with the bust in my balls, huh? Oh, no.

Come on.

Hey, you.

Hey,

you want to help me clean up the mess?

Sure.

Yeah.

This is the part I hate the most.

We'll have it done in no time.

You're going to be such a great
brother-in-law.

So, what did you think of Janice? She's
pretty cute, right?

I guess.

Well, she's the maid of honor. You're
the best man. You're going to be

spending a lot of time together.

I think it's a good match.

I think she's a trim.

Joey. Well, she is.

Well, she might be a little wild, but
she's a good person.

Well, yeah.

What about Hank?

He could be a little wild, too, I think.

That was in the past.

And we're looking forward to the future,
right?

Which reminds me, the wedding planner is
going to be here tomorrow, and I want to

know if you're going to be around.

You have such a great way with things.

Sure.

Great. I guess.

I'm glad you're going to be in my
family.

Now, the first thing I do when I get a
new assignment is find out who that

person desires.

Sometimes it's someone they haven't even
met.

Sometimes it's the girl next door.

Sometimes it's a fantasy so secret
they've never told anyone.

Now, honey, if you don't let me finish,
we'll never be ready for our guest.

Two surprises.

First, I called our guest and canceled
dinner.

And the second surprise?

Let's go upstairs.

No, we haven't done it in this room yet.

I have lived a thousand lives to fall in
love with you.

I would die a thousand times to be our
love renewed.

I have been your jubilee.

You have been much worthy.

Oh, it's only mute.

A painted masterpiece.

I could be a noble queen.

Or come and serve him well.

We could be and run and play.

Or be born to rule the world.

We could build a promised land.

Just to see it wash away.

to dawn.

I could be your next

big...

Oh, yeah, sure.

Have fun.

Here you go.

Some tea?

Yes, thank you.

Sure. So, you can have it big or you can
have it small.

Well, both our families are really
large.

Oh, then big.

You can have it right here in your
backyard. It's divine.

Really? Do you think?

Oh, this is my fiancé's brother, Joey.

Joey, this is Angela, the wedding
planner.

Charmed, I'm sure.

Well, what do you think? Do you think we
should have the wedding here?

Why not?

You spent so much time working in the
garden.

You should show it off.

Oh, great. I will throw a party that
will knock your socks off.

Elvis impersonators, palm readers, and a
wandering mariachi band.

Fabulous. Sounds like a circus.

Oh, well, I'm here to facilitate.

You know, this is the most important day
of your life, and you're showing the

world the man that you've chosen to
share that life.

Nothing short of spectacular will do.
Now, let's talk cakes. I have a chef

that makes a marzipan frosting that'll
knock your boots off.

Oh, let me get that. It's probably Hank.

You're crazy for her, aren't you?

Excuse me?

Maria. You wish you were marrying her
instead of your no-good, low-down,

cheating brother.

How did you... That was Hank.

Of course, I asked him what he thought
about having a wedding here, and he said

do whatever I want. That's my Hank. It's
okay, Joey. I know everything that's

going on. Do we have it three tiers or
two tiers or... Joey?

What's the matter?

I don't know.

I think I have a fever.

Oh, honey.

I kind of think she likes you too, Joey.
What are we going to do about that?

I can't. I got to... Excuse me.

Poor Joey.

Dude.

What the hell?

Relax. I'm a Cupid. I'm here to help.

But Maria... Oh, Maria's in the other
room with me.

I'm a Gemini. Split personalities and
all that.

So, it seems like we've got ourselves a
little situation here.

I don't know what you're talking about.

You really love Maria.

Maria loves Hank, but doesn't know he's
a pig.

Maria really needs to love you.

That's what I'm talking about.

Well, I...

Relax for it. I'm on your side.

Now, the thing is, I can only get her to
go so far, so you're going to have to do

a little work here yourself.

But I can't betray my brother.

But on the other hand, I can't let her
marry him.

I know just how he'll treat her.

But on the other hand, she sees me like
a brother.

Well, we can fix that.

Nice.

I love that idea.

I'm going to go ask Joey.

Uh, Joey?

What happened to your shirt?

I don't know.

What? I mean, uh, I spilled something on
it.

I'd better get another one.

You know, there's something about a set
of six-packs that really gets a woman

going, you know?

What are you trying to do?

To get Maria to see you in a different
way.

Joey, do you want to save her from your
brother?

Do you want to spend the rest of your
life with her? Or would you spend the

rest of your life fantasizing about her?

I thought so.

Leave it to me.

There's nothing like a little love
confusion to get the blood boiling.

What's love confusion?

You know, does she like me?

What does she kiss like?

I wonder what he looks like naked.

Those kinds of things.

Yeah, we can have it outside. That way
we can have some more people.

And we can get a gazebo.

Angela showed me some pictures.

They look so great.

Yeah?

Hank, are you even listening to me?

Oh, outside, gazebo, more people. Got
it.

Thanks.

What's the matter?

No, I'm not talking to you until you put
that stupid game down.

Okay, what?

Hank, do you even really want to go
through with this wedding?

Of course I do. I asked you to marry me,
didn't I?

But I feel like you felt obligated or
something.

I'm glad you think that much of me.
Well, you're not helping.

All right, what do you want?

I want you to be more involved in this.

I want to feel like this means the world
to you, too.

Well, it does.

And from here on out, you have my
undivided attention.

Hey,

babe, I'm kind of tired.

Don't stop. It's just that I just don't
think I can, you know, return the favor.

Never mind.

Hey, bring me back a beer.

Maria?

What's the matter?

I found these in our closet. These are
Janice's.

I'm sure there's an explanation.

Yeah, Hank's been screwing Janice in our
closet.

No wonder he's not interested in our
wedding.

He just wanted a trophy wife.

He doesn't think that.

Oh, no?

How would you know that?

Did you know about this? Who else knows
about this?

Forget it.

The last thing in the world I want is to
see you hurt.

Is my brother a saint?

No.

But he loves you.

How could he not?

You're so beautiful, so caring and
funny.

What I wouldn't give just to have one
moment with you.

I shouldn't talk like this.

No, no, Joey.

That's so sweet. You know, Hank has
never talked to me like that.

You should give him lessons.

He couldn't learn anything from me.

He's already won your heart.

You're so sweet.

I'm sorry. We never should have done
this.

I'm sorry.

Maria, wait.

See, that's love confusion.

Even with the confusion, you still have
a clear path.

Sometimes you just need a little push to
head down the right path.

That's where I come back into the
picture.

Tell her.

I can't.

Tell her.

I won't.

Tell her.

No. You know, I can keep this up for
years, you know.

Look, she's made her decision.

She doesn't know what she wants. She's
confused.

That's why she asked Hank to ask me to
leave the house.

That's why she won't talk to me, no
matter how hard I tried.

That's why she's going through with the
wedding.

She's made up her mind. She picked him.

So, you're just going to let her walk
down the aisle without telling her how

you feel?

Oh, that's good. Now you're being as
pig-headed as your pig-headed brother.

Hey, look at you.

Look at you.

Brilliant. You ready?

I guess.

Look, I know things have been kind of
frosty around here lately between you

and Maria, but I'm sure once we come
back from the honeymoon, things will

settle down.

You'll see.

What about all your other girlfriends?

What?

Yeah. What about the girls you're
screwing on the side?

You think that's going to make Maria
feel better?

I didn't mean to say that.

Yes, I did.

Stop this. What I do is my own business,
and I suggest you mind your own

business.

Pig. I'm sorry.

Stop it.

Listen, I kicked your ass when we were
little, and I'll still kick your ass. So

back off.

What are you trying to do?

Close your eyes.

Picture Maria and your brother.

They're alone and naked.

He's making love to her like you should
be.

She's crying because she wants you, not
him.

You see that?

Now what are you going to do about it?

Sometimes it's a little more than a
push.

Hey, aren't you happy?

It should be the happiest day of your
life.

Yeah, I'm happy.

You sure don't show it.

We have to talk.

Oh, I don't want to.

Do you mind?

Maybe you can put a smile on her face. I
give up.

Maria, listen to me.

I don't want to have this conversation
right now.

You have to.

I've been stupid to wait this long, but
I love you.

There. I said it.

I wanted you to have that information
before you walked down the aisle.

Tell me you don't feel the same way. I
can't. All those people out there, they

all expect me to be with Hank.

But I can't stop thinking about the time
we spent together.

Or you.

I am so confused.

See what I'm talking about?

Angela, how did you get in here?

Angela, do something.

Okay.

What has he been telling you? It's all
lies. I never touched those women.

Bear me.

Oh, hey, honey, now come on. And you
too, you little backstabbing bitch.

Hey. Ooh, could be a cat fight.

I know all about you two. The only
reason I didn't say anything was because

I didn't want to embarrass myself or
you.

You bastard. No, no. He didn't have to
say anything. The reason he came in here

was to tell me that he loved me. Real
love.

Which is more than I can say for you,
Hank.

What are you doing?

I'm leaving you at the altar.

And I'm running off with your brother,
if he'll have me.

Of course I will.

I'm going to kill you.

Whoa.

Okay, let's not turn this into a Jerry
Springer wedding.

She loved him.

He loves her, and you can screw whoever
you want.

Problem solved.

Thank me later. Now, there are about 200
people outside and 60 pounds of shrimp

baking in the sunlight. I suggest we get
to it.

Hey, you know it's better this way.

I guess.

Hank. Oh, forget it.

Weddings always make me cry.

Sometimes love needs a helping hand.

Take poor Stella Crenshaw.

She thought she was a lost cause, but I
taught her otherwise and it didn't ever

feel good.

You don't know how long I've wanted
this.

Sorry I've been holding back, baby.

Temptation. I like that in man.

Don't make me wait, Stella. You hear me?

I'm not going to wait any longer for
your report.

Hey, are you listening to me?

Yes, sir. I heard every word you said.

I didn't miss a syllable.

Did you get coffee on my rug?

No. Fortunately, I got it all on myself.

Good, because that's an expensive rug.

Oh, yes.

And you have excellent taste, sir.

Are you making fun of me, Stella?

No.

No, Mr. Stone.

I didn't think so. And your report is on
my desk by the end of the day. Your ass

is out the door. Are we clear?

Yes, sir.

Very clear.

Oh, and... Thank you for noticing my
ass.

That's all.

Thank you

for noticing my ass?

Stupid. Really stupid.

Rough day?

Huh? Oh, you don't have to say it. The
whole office heard that bastard chewing

you out for no good reason.

Eric's not a bastard.

It's just strong will.

Eric Stone, the original hard-ass
himself?

Excuse me, who are you?

Angela, mailroom. I'm working my way up
the corporate ladder.

Well, let me give you a little piece of
advice, Angela.

You're not going to get far spreading
office gossip or poking your nose in

other people's businesses.

Suit yourself.

But I'd sure like it if you performed a
sexy striptease for me.

See, this was a case of the right girl
going for the wrong guy.

So all I had to do was make the right
girl the wrong girl, and the wrong guy

the right guy.

Hmm, wait, that's not right.

Right guy, wrong girl.

Well, either way, it was time for my
favorite part of the assignment, the

revelation.

Well, it's never quite that dramatic,
but you get the idea.

Sorry.

Could I talk to you for a moment?

Sure. It's five shivers, right?

Right. How did you know?

It's my business to know.

Wow, they're getting really thorough in
the mail room.

Well, to tell you the truth, I'm not
really working my way up the corporate

ladder. I'm a Cupid, and I'm here to
help you with your love life.

Look, I appreciate your interest, but...

I have a file to file. Oh, relax.

It's no big deal.

Cupid's are everywhere.

You just don't know when we're around.

Now, the one thing that Cupid's do have
in common is that we're all here to help

you get laid.

Hey.

You know,

maybe you should see a doctor.

This company has a very helpful plan
with regards to mental health.

Okay.

Time to do a little magic here to prove
my point.

Would you care for a wink, a nod, or a
snap?

What? Never mind. I'll give you all
three.

I don't believe this.

I know.

I've got some work on my break.

What do you want from me?

I told you.

I'm here to help you land the man of
your dreams.

Although, frankly, I thought you'd pick
someone a little bit more suited to your

sensibilities.

Okay, I'm going to play along, because I
know this is a dream, and I'm bound to

wake up any minute, so what do you mean
by sensibilities?

Well, Eric seems a little too fast for
you. You know, a little too slick.

No, that's just his office thing.

I mean, he has to come off that way. He
has to appear strong. He has to appear

in charge.

I mean, underneath that, he's just the
guy who wants a girl to love him.

Wow, you do got it bad.

No, I'm so stupid.

Look, there's no such thing as stupid.

Misguided, yes.

Stupid, no.

You know what?

I don't have what it takes to get him.

Listen, I know that's what I said, but
you have what it takes. You just need a

little help bringing out that inner
seductress.

Yeah, that inner seductress.

Hey, that's Jake from McCown.

Kitty.

Yeah, but, you know. But watch.

Nice stick, Jake.

Thanks. When it's chalked, I can only
make it fly.

Oh. Well.

Then please, let me chalk it for you.

Yeah.

Is that me?

Your inner seductress.

Is that chalked enough for you? It's
perfect.

Mm-hmm.

Oh!

Ear ball.

Okay.

You have my attention now.

But you know what? I have daydreams like
that all the time.

Now, how's that going to help me?

It's time to make the dream a reality.

But that was not me.

It could be.

I don't know. You think that I... I
mean, I actually could, like, like that.

Oh, God.

Don't panic. Look, Eric is never going
to take notice in you.

Unless you start putting out the vibe
that you're the greatest lover around.

Oh, one thing Eric does not see me as a
great lover.

Stella, if you think you're a hot babe,
he'll see you as a hot babe, and then

you'll be a hot babe.

It's as simple as that.

I'm a hot babe. I'm a hot babe. I'm a
hot babe.

I'm a hot babe.

I'm a hot babe.

Okay, I'm a hot babe.

Watch out. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I was just bringing you this.

Nice. Nice.

So, so.

Are you okay?

Yes.

Is there something wrong with your back?

No, no.

You know, Eric.

What?

I was just thinking.

Really?

Do you ever play pool?

Pool?

Yes.

Pool.

Occasionally?

Well, you know, I could maybe chalk you
up if you want to.

Why don't you take the rest of the day
off and get some rest, huh? I think you

need it.

You ever try these things? They're not
half bad.

I really wish you wouldn't sneak up on
me like that.

You realize you're not dreaming anymore.

Oh, yes.

I realize.

My eyes are wide open. I'm wide awake.

I made a great big idiot of myself.

And you weren't there.

Hello. All knowing, all seeing. We're
everywhere.

Yeah, well, now Eric thinks I'm an even
bigger loser.

So you struck out first time at bat.

It's okay.

Look, the point of it is that you got in
there and you were swinging away.

Now all you've got to do is dig in,
choke up on the bat, and give it another

swing.

You know, I'm really not a sports person
here. This metaphor thing, it's going

right over my head.

Come on.

Okay, show me what you got.

What? Show me your sexiest outfit.

Come on, you work it, girl.

Wow.

See? It's all smoke and mirrors.

A little lace there, a little silk here,
and voila.

Babe machine.

Okay, so maybe I can look hot, but that
doesn't mean I am.

Could that be?

Hey.

I think this is yours.

Yeah, he must have climbed over the
fence.

Bad dog, Kobe.

I'm Troy, by the way.

I just moved in down the street.

Yeah, um, I saw you in the driveway.

Ask him in. Stop that.

Sorry? Oh, not you.

Dog. Kobe.

Do it.

Would you like to come in?

Uh...

Um, yeah, yeah, I guess, yeah.

I'm sure you're wondering why I'm
dressed like this.

I'm not complaining. I was just trying a
few things on. I think you look

incredible.

Really? Yeah, hell yeah.

Really? Yeah.

I'm sorry, I'm just a little clumsy.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay, I just want to try something here.

Since I don't really know you, it
doesn't really matter if I make a

complete act of it myself.

Well, I think that, you know, I just met
you and it seems like you're

very...

With confidence running high, it was
time to get Eric on the team.

Oh, yeah. She's a real tigress in the
sack.

But she doesn't put out to just anybody.
The guy has to be real special.

Yeah? Yeah, one time she made love to a
guy so good, she put him in the

hospital. Oh, my God.

Yeah, broke his things.

Wow. Wow, we're talking about Stella.

Stella?

Stella. I tell you, the guy who gets
hurt.

He's going to be one lucky son of a
bitch.

Don't you have some work to do?

Yeah.

Heads up, Cupcake.

Eric wants to see you in his office.

Oh, my God, you talked to him?

What's he expecting?

Do I look okay? Remember, you have the
power.

Use the power.

All right.

Got the power.

Got the power.

You wanted to see me, sir? Come on in,
Stella.

I read your report, and I must say, I
was pleasantly surprised.

Well, thank you, sir.

I also got your request for a transfer
to the Market Analysis Division.

You know you'll be forced to travel to
our corporate offices around the globe.

Yes, I guess.

Well, since you did such a good job with
this last assignment, I think a reward

is in order.

I'm going to grant you your transfer.

Congratulations.

Oh, thank you.

You know, I'm thinking you wouldn't be
my immediate supervisor then, would you?

No.

So I'll be answering directly to the
board of directors.

Of course.

Should be quite a challenge.

Well, it was nice working for you.

Ow!

Ow.

How would you like to kiss me?

Excuse me?

As a goodbye.

I've seen the way you look at me.

And now might be your last chance.

I mean, right here or right now?

You know what?

Never mind.

You wouldn't be up to the challenge.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. It's
just that it's the employee-boss

relationship thing.

You know, it's like kind of just
delicate.

But you wouldn't be my boss anymore,
would you?

Technically, you're right.

Well, then you have nothing to lose.

That's my girl.

Hey, you know, I was thinking, why don't
we go away together for the weekend,

huh?

Huh?

What do you mean, huh?

Uh, you know something?

What?

I'll let you know.

What? You'll call me?

I'll call you?

We'll do lunch?

Stella!

Thanks a lot. I know you wrote that
transfer request.

Well, it means more money, more
traveling, more prestige.

But that's all secondary to what just
happened, huh?

I mean, you got your dream lover, right?

Right.

Well, gee, don't be so excited.

Um, I mean, the sex was great.

But, I mean, it was everything I thought
it would be.

But you know something? What?

Well, I just didn't hear heartstrings.

I mean, there were no violins, no
fireworks.

Well, sometimes it happens that way.

I know. So you start dating, and you see
where it goes. He seems very interested.

Yeah, but you know what? I'm also
thinking about Troy and Jake, and then

that really cute delivery guy, and then
there's that guy over at Martini's.

Whoa, slow down.

I know. It's like you unlocked a gate
here.

I mean, why should I settle for just one
man?

I've got to live life and explore.

Discover who I am as a sexual being, as
a woman.

I mean, it's what my inner seductress
would want.

So, you're not in love with Eric?

Uh, when I'm in love, I'll know it.

Oops.

Until then, I just want to have some
fun.

Well, I guess that's good.

This kind of puts a little black mark on
my record.

Oh, well, I have so many other success
stories, I'm sure this little incident

won't matter.

Hey, I heard about your promotion.

Sorry to see you go. I feel like we
haven't gotten to know each other.

Well, you know, that can all change.

Do you have a play, old Jake?

Hey, where are you guys going?

Can I come?
