Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:09,633 --> 00:00:10,800
- Get closer.
2
00:00:10,867 --> 00:00:12,133
Lips almost touching.
3
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:13,400
We want the almost kiss, people.
4
00:00:13,467 --> 00:00:15,267
You need me to show you?
5
00:00:15,333 --> 00:00:17,867
- I had no idea there was so
much involved in a cover shoot.
6
00:00:17,933 --> 00:00:20,100
- Yeah, well, romance novels
keep the lights on
7
00:00:20,167 --> 00:00:21,933
for the rest
of literary fiction.
8
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,600
The cover is everything.
9
00:00:23,667 --> 00:00:24,767
That's it!
10
00:00:24,833 --> 00:00:26,600
That's the money shot!
11
00:00:26,667 --> 00:00:28,933
Oh, Charles.
12
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,233
Charles, come see
what we've got so far.
13
00:00:31,300 --> 00:00:33,867
Show us some options.
14
00:00:33,933 --> 00:00:35,700
That's a good one.
15
00:00:35,767 --> 00:00:37,700
Uh-huh. Okay.
16
00:00:37,767 --> 00:00:39,267
Sword or no sword,
what do you think, Charles?
17
00:00:39,333 --> 00:00:40,867
- You're call.
18
00:00:40,933 --> 00:00:42,667
Uh, but let's make sure
that we have
19
00:00:42,733 --> 00:00:44,133
these models under contract
for the next five books.
20
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:45,133
- Five books?
21
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:46,133
I don't understand.
22
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:47,567
Uh, Belinda's dead.
23
00:00:47,633 --> 00:00:48,800
- Tom Clancy's
been dead for years,
24
00:00:48,867 --> 00:00:50,233
but he's hotter than ever.
25
00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:52,000
- Empirical can continue
to publish
26
00:00:52,067 --> 00:00:54,400
Belinda Lacroix posthumously
at our discretion.
27
00:00:54,467 --> 00:00:55,667
- As long as
the readers keep buying,
28
00:00:55,733 --> 00:00:57,133
we will provide the H.E.A.s.
29
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:58,367
- H.E.A.s?
30
00:00:58,433 --> 00:01:00,267
- "Happily ever afters."
31
00:01:00,333 --> 00:01:03,100
- We just have to find
a new writer to carry the torch.
32
00:01:03,167 --> 00:01:06,100
- Oh, maybe a torch
instead of a sword.
33
00:01:06,167 --> 00:01:08,500
No, no.
Back to the sword.
34
00:01:17,367 --> 00:01:18,867
- Here you go.
35
00:01:18,933 --> 00:01:19,967
- Wow.
36
00:01:20,067 --> 00:01:21,200
Nice technique.
37
00:01:21,267 --> 00:01:23,800
- Thank you.
38
00:01:23,867 --> 00:01:25,800
So I have some big news.
39
00:01:25,867 --> 00:01:27,800
I quit working for Maggie.
- What?
40
00:01:27,867 --> 00:01:29,867
- Mm-hmm. Yeah,
I don't really have time
41
00:01:29,933 --> 00:01:31,467
to be anyone's
assistant anymore
42
00:01:31,533 --> 00:01:33,133
because I have a show
of my own coming up.
43
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:34,433
- That's amazing.
- Thank you.
44
00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:36,133
- Yeah.
45
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,633
- Do you want to come see
my studio tonight?
46
00:01:37,700 --> 00:01:39,267
I have to bring over
a canvas,
47
00:01:39,333 --> 00:01:41,267
and I could really use
a big, strong man
48
00:01:41,333 --> 00:01:42,933
with big, strong biceps
to help.
49
00:01:43,067 --> 00:01:44,933
- Yeah, no problem.
50
00:01:45,067 --> 00:01:47,167
Oh, my--
Wow.
51
00:01:50,233 --> 00:01:52,800
- * Keep on dreaming
out loud now *
52
00:01:52,867 --> 00:01:56,133
* Hey, oh, hey, oh *
53
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,200
- I've created a giant mess.
54
00:01:58,267 --> 00:01:59,867
- What now?
55
00:02:00,067 --> 00:02:02,367
- I have a date tonight
with Zane Anders.
56
00:02:02,433 --> 00:02:03,700
- The hot editor
at Rivington?
57
00:02:03,767 --> 00:02:05,133
Why is that a problem?
58
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,133
- Because I also
might be poaching
59
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,367
one of his biggest authors,
Lachlan Flynn, as we speak.
60
00:02:09,433 --> 00:02:10,933
- Okay, yeah,
that's a problem.
61
00:02:11,067 --> 00:02:12,533
- Do I tell Zane or not?
62
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,467
- Well, how about
not go out with him at all?
63
00:02:14,533 --> 00:02:16,200
- I was kind of
hoping for, like,
64
00:02:16,267 --> 00:02:17,867
"have your cake and eat it, too"
kind of advice.
65
00:02:17,933 --> 00:02:19,700
- Okay, well...
66
00:02:19,767 --> 00:02:21,800
All right, nothing
is certain yet with Lachlan.
67
00:02:21,867 --> 00:02:23,800
And the date tonight with Zane
could totally suck.
68
00:02:23,867 --> 00:02:26,067
- The date's
not going to suck.
69
00:02:26,100 --> 00:02:28,133
But I understand why
Lachlan wants to leave Zane.
70
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:29,500
His numbers over there
are dropping,
71
00:02:29,567 --> 00:02:31,367
and he's got to go
somewhere.
72
00:02:31,433 --> 00:02:33,367
- Well, business is business,
and personal is personal.
73
00:02:33,433 --> 00:02:35,267
- Exactly.
74
00:02:35,333 --> 00:02:36,867
I can keep them separate.
75
00:02:41,933 --> 00:02:43,267
- Sure.
76
00:02:49,767 --> 00:02:52,067
- You come out here every day?
77
00:02:52,100 --> 00:02:53,800
- I know, it's far.
I just--
78
00:02:53,867 --> 00:02:56,800
I really need
the peace and quiet to paint.
79
00:02:56,867 --> 00:02:58,600
- I just use
this meditation app,
80
00:02:58,667 --> 00:03:00,600
but this works, too.
81
00:03:05,667 --> 00:03:07,433
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
82
00:03:07,500 --> 00:03:10,867
Wait, your studio is a mansion
in Croton-on-Hudson?
83
00:03:10,933 --> 00:03:12,767
- You're so funny.
84
00:03:12,833 --> 00:03:15,200
No, it's actually just attached
to my parents' house.
85
00:03:15,267 --> 00:03:16,433
- I'm meeting your parents?
86
00:03:16,500 --> 00:03:17,933
- Oh, come on, don't be weird.
87
00:03:18,067 --> 00:03:20,333
I'm not capital-I
introducing you.
88
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,333
- Here we are.
89
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,333
- Hmm.
90
00:03:27,467 --> 00:03:28,967
My, God.
91
00:03:29,067 --> 00:03:30,400
Get a muffler, child.
92
00:03:30,467 --> 00:03:33,400
Hi. Baby girl.
- Aw, Mom.
93
00:03:33,467 --> 00:03:36,533
- And hello, sexy man friend.
94
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:37,767
Stacey, this is Josh.
95
00:03:37,833 --> 00:03:39,667
Josh, this is my mom, Stacey.
96
00:03:39,733 --> 00:03:41,667
- Perfect timing. We were
just sitting down to dinner.
97
00:03:41,733 --> 00:03:43,600
- No, Mom,
we're not gonna stay for dinner.
98
00:03:43,667 --> 00:03:46,100
- Josh, I've had to force-feed
this beautiful waif...
99
00:03:46,167 --> 00:03:47,733
Stop!
100
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,567
- Since she was in diapers.
101
00:03:49,633 --> 00:03:51,233
- We're dropping a canvas,
and that's it.
102
00:03:51,300 --> 00:03:54,233
- Ah. I hope you like
squid-ink risotto.
103
00:03:54,300 --> 00:03:56,633
- She over-parents me.
104
00:03:56,700 --> 00:03:58,067
Just excuse her.
105
00:03:58,133 --> 00:04:00,200
- You are just full
of surprises, huh?
106
00:04:00,267 --> 00:04:02,200
- But they're
cool surprises, right?
107
00:04:02,267 --> 00:04:03,467
Right?
108
00:04:05,533 --> 00:04:08,200
Here it is.
109
00:04:08,267 --> 00:04:09,633
- Wow.
110
00:04:09,700 --> 00:04:11,267
- Cool, right?
- Yeah.
111
00:04:11,333 --> 00:04:13,733
- Has my baby showed you
her art before?
112
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,733
- Mom, let's dial it down
from an 11 to a 4.
113
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,733
- What? I'm not allowed
to be proud of you?
114
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,600
- I have to pee.
115
00:04:20,667 --> 00:04:22,700
Don't say another word
till I get back.
116
00:04:24,567 --> 00:04:27,933
- You know, that one, she, uh--
she makes a mean macchiato.
117
00:04:28,067 --> 00:04:29,933
- I give Amy a lot of credit
118
00:04:30,067 --> 00:04:31,933
for working
at that--that coffee shop.
119
00:04:32,067 --> 00:04:33,933
She is a true artist.
120
00:04:34,067 --> 00:04:35,400
She's keeping it real.
121
00:04:35,467 --> 00:04:37,167
- Did you--
did you say Amy?
122
00:04:37,233 --> 00:04:38,933
- Oh. Sorry.
123
00:04:39,067 --> 00:04:40,667
Amy is her real name.
124
00:04:40,733 --> 00:04:44,600
She changed it to Montana
when she moved to Brooklyn.
125
00:04:44,667 --> 00:04:46,800
- As one does.
126
00:04:46,867 --> 00:04:49,300
- She experimented
with different styles
127
00:04:49,367 --> 00:04:50,700
in art school,
128
00:04:50,767 --> 00:04:53,533
but this is what is getting her
129
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,633
her first show.
130
00:04:59,133 --> 00:05:00,800
- A painting with a state on it?
131
00:05:00,867 --> 00:05:02,467
- The state of Montana.
132
00:05:02,533 --> 00:05:04,133
- Uh-huh.
133
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,733
The stuff that's underneath
the stencil--
134
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,233
does she paint that, too, or...?
135
00:05:07,300 --> 00:05:08,667
- No, of course not.
136
00:05:08,733 --> 00:05:10,800
It is what is known
as appropriation.
137
00:05:10,867 --> 00:05:11,800
- Appropriation.
138
00:05:11,867 --> 00:05:13,400
- We started off
139
00:05:13,467 --> 00:05:15,067
by giving her a few pieces
from our collection,
140
00:05:15,067 --> 00:05:17,667
but since then,
she has assisted other artists
141
00:05:17,733 --> 00:05:19,333
who gift her their work.
142
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:20,567
It's a genius concept.
143
00:05:20,633 --> 00:05:21,800
She's really pulling it off,
144
00:05:21,867 --> 00:05:23,400
and she's--
all by herself.
145
00:05:23,467 --> 00:05:25,233
Only thing we pay for now
are the lawsuits.
146
00:05:25,300 --> 00:05:27,233
Let's see what this one is.
147
00:05:32,100 --> 00:05:33,533
- Wait.
148
00:05:35,467 --> 00:05:36,900
Is that a Maggie Amato?
149
00:05:36,967 --> 00:05:38,533
- That poor woman.
150
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,733
She was a bit of a-a hit
in the late '90s.
151
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,800
Don't you just love her work?
152
00:05:42,867 --> 00:05:44,800
- Wait. Are we talking
about Maggie or Montana?
153
00:05:46,867 --> 00:05:48,567
You are so funny.
154
00:05:48,633 --> 00:05:50,067
I am trying really hard
155
00:05:50,133 --> 00:05:51,400
to get her into
the Whitney Biennial
156
00:05:51,467 --> 00:05:53,067
because I am on the board,
157
00:05:53,133 --> 00:05:54,900
But don't tell her.
She would kill me.
158
00:05:54,967 --> 00:05:56,333
She's so modest.
159
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,233
- Yeah, well, she, uh--
160
00:05:58,300 --> 00:06:01,733
she's definitely done a good job
hiding this from me.
161
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,733
- You didn't see anything.
162
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,467
Huh? Act surprised
at her show, okay?
163
00:06:06,533 --> 00:06:09,300
Amy! It's risotto time!
164
00:06:09,367 --> 00:06:10,733
Come on.
165
00:06:22,367 --> 00:06:23,867
- I need to find a replacement
166
00:06:23,933 --> 00:06:25,733
to write under
the Belinda Lacroix moniker.
167
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,733
My authors wouldn't go near it.
168
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,533
- Why?
- Writers who do romance
169
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,467
are in hiding, online.
170
00:06:31,533 --> 00:06:33,467
They self-publish
their sexual fantasies,
171
00:06:33,533 --> 00:06:35,667
and then they take their kids
to soccer practice
172
00:06:35,733 --> 00:06:37,600
and cook dinner
for their overweight husband.
173
00:06:37,667 --> 00:06:39,933
- Yes, but one of those women
turned into E.L. James.
174
00:06:40,067 --> 00:06:41,933
I would love to find
the next "50 Shades" writer
175
00:06:42,067 --> 00:06:43,833
among the Internet sea
of fan fiction out there.
176
00:06:43,900 --> 00:06:45,500
- Okay, you got to be
more specific.
177
00:06:45,567 --> 00:06:47,500
Are you looking for someone
who writes historical,
178
00:06:47,567 --> 00:06:51,067
paranormal, time-travel,
and/or Amish romance?
179
00:06:51,067 --> 00:06:52,833
- There are
Amish romance novels?
180
00:06:52,900 --> 00:06:54,467
- Yeah. Trust me.
181
00:06:54,533 --> 00:06:56,533
It all goes down in the buggy.
- Oh.
182
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,400
- You should do yourself
a favor and spend an evening
183
00:06:58,467 --> 00:07:01,200
on the site
"Smart Bitches, Trashy Books."
184
00:07:01,267 --> 00:07:03,200
- You sure know a lot
for denying you have anything
185
00:07:03,267 --> 00:07:05,200
to do with the stuff.
186
00:07:05,267 --> 00:07:07,467
- Well, what else
am I supposed to do
187
00:07:07,533 --> 00:07:09,867
alone on a Friday night
after an entire bottle of rosé
188
00:07:09,933 --> 00:07:11,467
and seeing an ex on Instagram
189
00:07:11,533 --> 00:07:13,667
with his new boy toy
in Costa Rica?
190
00:07:13,733 --> 00:07:15,267
Four Seasons. Papagayo.
191
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,333
- I'm sorry.
- I'm fine.
192
00:07:22,300 --> 00:07:24,400
Next time you ask me out for
a drink, make it something good.
193
00:07:24,467 --> 00:07:25,667
Okay? Bye.
194
00:07:38,100 --> 00:07:41,267
- I can't believe
you brought me to a cigar club.
195
00:07:41,333 --> 00:07:43,500
That's skating as close
to douchey as you can get.
196
00:07:43,567 --> 00:07:45,333
- Oh, come on, Peters.
197
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,333
Cuban cigars
are pretty literary.
198
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,400
- Oh, really? How is that?
199
00:07:49,467 --> 00:07:51,067
- In the cigar factories,
200
00:07:51,067 --> 00:07:52,833
workers used to pay someone
to read to them
201
00:07:52,900 --> 00:07:54,500
while they rolled the leaves
202
00:07:54,567 --> 00:07:57,167
to engage their minds
while they met their quotas.
203
00:07:57,233 --> 00:07:59,167
- Well, okay.
204
00:07:59,233 --> 00:08:00,633
I didn't know that.
205
00:08:00,700 --> 00:08:02,400
- It's a tradition
kept up to this day.
206
00:08:02,467 --> 00:08:04,800
News in the morning,
novels in the afternoon.
207
00:08:04,867 --> 00:08:06,600
- Huh.
208
00:08:06,667 --> 00:08:10,567
- Actually, that's how these
got their name.
209
00:08:10,633 --> 00:08:12,233
Monte Cristo.
210
00:08:12,300 --> 00:08:13,733
- No way.
211
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,333
"The Count of Monte Cristo"?
212
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,567
- One of my all-time
favorite books.
213
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,133
Have you been to Cuba?
- Of course.
214
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,067
It's where I learned
how to appreciate these.
215
00:08:24,133 --> 00:08:26,400
First, you lick it...
216
00:08:26,467 --> 00:08:27,900
to get it wet.
217
00:08:31,100 --> 00:08:33,767
Don't inhale,
just taste it and let it go.
218
00:08:33,833 --> 00:08:35,533
You just got to go with it.
219
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,100
- I know how to smoke a cigar.
220
00:08:38,167 --> 00:08:41,067
- Right.
221
00:08:41,133 --> 00:08:43,267
- How'd you get
so successful so young?
222
00:08:43,333 --> 00:08:44,933
- I'm not really
that successful.
223
00:08:45,067 --> 00:08:46,767
- Don't do that, all right?
224
00:08:46,833 --> 00:08:48,333
I want to hear your story.
225
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,167
- Okay. Um...
226
00:08:50,233 --> 00:08:53,533
I fell in love with books
when I was a kid
227
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,667
because they were an escape.
228
00:08:55,733 --> 00:08:59,667
It was just my mom and I,
and we were pretty broke.
229
00:08:59,733 --> 00:09:02,667
So, you know,
when it came to my career,
230
00:09:02,733 --> 00:09:05,667
I had no choice
but to be scrappy.
231
00:09:05,733 --> 00:09:08,100
It was like,
make this job work,
232
00:09:08,167 --> 00:09:10,500
or...
233
00:09:10,567 --> 00:09:11,833
or else.
234
00:09:11,900 --> 00:09:13,367
- The wolf at the door.
235
00:09:13,433 --> 00:09:16,733
- Mm.
- Ah, I get it.
236
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,833
The hustle looks good on you.
237
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,867
- You're so quiet.
238
00:09:33,933 --> 00:09:36,467
Did meeting Stacey
freak you out?
239
00:09:36,533 --> 00:09:38,133
No.
240
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:39,633
Your mom's great.
241
00:09:39,700 --> 00:09:41,633
- But..?
242
00:09:41,700 --> 00:09:43,633
I saw one of Maggie's paintings
243
00:09:43,700 --> 00:09:45,067
in your studio.
244
00:09:45,100 --> 00:09:47,067
- She gave it to me.
It was a gift.
245
00:09:47,100 --> 00:09:49,667
- Yeah, but does she know
you're using it in your show?
246
00:09:49,733 --> 00:09:52,067
- No. She doesn't need to know,
247
00:09:52,067 --> 00:09:54,400
and I'd really appreciate it
if you didn't tell her.
248
00:09:54,467 --> 00:09:56,833
- I'm not. I...
249
00:09:56,900 --> 00:09:58,833
I was just asking.
250
00:10:01,300 --> 00:10:03,833
- It's not like
Ray Charles was mad at Kanye
251
00:10:03,900 --> 00:10:06,167
for sampling his music.
252
00:10:06,233 --> 00:10:07,933
- It's the job of our generation
253
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,600
to build on the work
of the generations
254
00:10:09,667 --> 00:10:11,100
that came before us.
255
00:10:11,167 --> 00:10:13,933
If Maggie's a true artist,
she'll get that.
256
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,733
- I'm cool...
257
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,600
as long as Maggie's cool.
258
00:10:18,667 --> 00:10:21,000
- Why are you not on my side?
259
00:10:21,067 --> 00:10:23,167
I feel like you should be...
260
00:10:23,233 --> 00:10:24,800
supporting my art
261
00:10:24,867 --> 00:10:27,867
and not worrying about
your ex and her roommate.
262
00:10:27,933 --> 00:10:29,700
I mean, hey, I'm--
263
00:10:29,767 --> 00:10:31,700
I paint on things.
264
00:10:31,767 --> 00:10:33,133
That's what I do.
265
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,233
I've been
very up front about that.
266
00:10:36,733 --> 00:10:37,767
- Okay.
267
00:10:39,733 --> 00:10:41,967
Hmm.
- Are we good?
268
00:10:42,033 --> 00:10:43,467
- Yeah.
269
00:10:48,067 --> 00:10:49,400
We're good.
270
00:11:04,433 --> 00:11:05,600
- Hello, Liza Miller?
271
00:11:05,667 --> 00:11:07,600
- Hey, smut lover.
272
00:11:07,667 --> 00:11:10,300
I did a think, and it turns out
I do have someone for you.
273
00:11:10,367 --> 00:11:12,700
- Go on.
- She's a short-story writer,
274
00:11:12,767 --> 00:11:14,267
been featured
in literary magazines,
275
00:11:14,333 --> 00:11:15,800
won several awards,
276
00:11:15,867 --> 00:11:17,600
professor of literature
at Columbia.
277
00:11:17,667 --> 00:11:19,533
Never made a dime in her life.
You get it.
278
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,067
- Got it.
The struggle is real.
279
00:11:21,067 --> 00:11:22,667
- We don't say that anymore.
280
00:11:22,733 --> 00:11:24,667
- Oh.
- The only reason I keep her
281
00:11:24,733 --> 00:11:26,733
on my roster is to stay one
with the people who still like
282
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,233
experimental, second-person,
surrealist fiction.
283
00:11:29,300 --> 00:11:30,400
- And she wants
to write romance?
284
00:11:30,467 --> 00:11:32,100
- Lord, no!
285
00:11:32,167 --> 00:11:34,200
She wouldn't be
caught dead near the stuff.
286
00:11:34,267 --> 00:11:36,400
Child número three of four
is heading off to college.
287
00:11:36,467 --> 00:11:38,267
- Ahh. Well, we're meeting
authors later today.
288
00:11:38,333 --> 00:11:40,233
Do you think she could make it
on such short notice?
289
00:11:40,300 --> 00:11:42,400
- What part of "four kids
to put through college"
290
00:11:42,467 --> 00:11:43,700
did you not understand?
291
00:11:43,767 --> 00:11:45,900
She'll be there.
Bells. Bye.
292
00:11:45,967 --> 00:11:48,733
- Okay,
I am officially not a fan
293
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,233
of the girl Josh is seeing.
294
00:11:50,300 --> 00:11:52,433
Montana?
She Porky-pigged me.
295
00:11:52,500 --> 00:11:54,067
- Oh, you're gonna
have to help me here.
296
00:11:54,100 --> 00:11:55,933
You mean, she has a stutter?
297
00:11:56,067 --> 00:11:58,433
- Just the top, no bottoms,
298
00:11:58,500 --> 00:12:00,167
walking around the apartment
at 7:00 a.m.
299
00:12:00,233 --> 00:12:01,500
with her muff out.
300
00:12:01,567 --> 00:12:03,733
- I hate
that she even has a muff.
301
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,967
- When were you going to tell me
that Lachlan Flynn
302
00:12:06,067 --> 00:12:07,633
is interested in Empirical?
303
00:12:07,700 --> 00:12:09,333
- I was coming
to tell you just now.
304
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,100
- I got distracted.
- I distracted her.
305
00:12:11,167 --> 00:12:13,433
I'm a distracter.
It's my thing.
306
00:12:13,500 --> 00:12:15,067
- Well, he's waiting
in the conference room,
307
00:12:15,067 --> 00:12:16,600
and he wants you
to be in the meeting.
308
00:12:16,667 --> 00:12:17,933
- Right now?
- Yeah.
309
00:12:18,067 --> 00:12:19,767
Good that he's here,
310
00:12:19,833 --> 00:12:22,100
but you, uh, kind of dropped
the ball on this, Kelsey.
311
00:12:24,700 --> 00:12:26,800
- So I take it the date
with Zane went well?
312
00:12:26,867 --> 00:12:28,733
- Yes, it did.
313
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,067
Now excuse me while I go steal
one of his top authors.
314
00:12:39,533 --> 00:12:42,533
- Lachlan was saying how excited
he is by Empirical's promise
315
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,300
to sell him
to a female audience.
316
00:12:46,367 --> 00:12:47,933
Kelsey?
317
00:12:48,067 --> 00:12:51,267
- I'd consider
doing pink covers.
318
00:12:51,333 --> 00:12:53,933
- If your next novel
can have a female protagonist
319
00:12:54,067 --> 00:12:56,767
just as adept
as your previous male ones,
320
00:12:56,833 --> 00:12:58,333
this market is yours.
321
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,167
And I can guide you there.
322
00:13:00,233 --> 00:13:02,733
Women who love spy novels
will love you.
323
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,067
No pink covers necessary.
324
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:19,567
One second!
325
00:13:19,633 --> 00:13:20,800
Coming!
326
00:13:25,533 --> 00:13:26,933
Hi.
- Hey.
327
00:13:27,067 --> 00:13:28,367
- Don't worry,
you timed it right.
328
00:13:28,433 --> 00:13:30,800
Liza's at work.
329
00:13:30,867 --> 00:13:32,700
What's up?
- Uh...
330
00:13:32,767 --> 00:13:34,067
I got to talk to you
about something.
331
00:13:34,100 --> 00:13:35,533
- Oh, I know.
332
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,533
I lost a good assistant
because of you.
333
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,133
Ever tell you
not to shit where I eat?
334
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,800
- Hey.
You introduced us, okay?
335
00:13:41,867 --> 00:13:45,133
But I'm not sure
I'm the reason she quit.
336
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:46,833
- What do you mean?
- Did you know
337
00:13:46,900 --> 00:13:48,600
she's got this show coming up
at Gray Space?
338
00:13:48,667 --> 00:13:50,467
- Of what,
her painted jackets?
339
00:13:50,533 --> 00:13:52,367
- Yeah.
340
00:13:52,433 --> 00:13:54,367
I mean, she's also painting
over other things, too...
341
00:13:54,433 --> 00:13:56,200
- Oh.
- Like, uh...
342
00:13:56,267 --> 00:13:58,133
other people's art.
343
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,600
- What?
- Look, Maggs...
344
00:14:00,667 --> 00:14:02,600
one of your pieces
is in the show.
345
00:14:02,667 --> 00:14:05,800
It's weird. She has this,
like, whole theory behind it.
346
00:14:05,867 --> 00:14:07,567
I don't know.
The opening's tonight.
347
00:14:07,633 --> 00:14:09,633
Honestly, I just--
348
00:14:09,700 --> 00:14:12,633
I didn't feel good about going
without telling you first, so...
349
00:14:12,700 --> 00:14:14,633
- I appreciate that.
350
00:14:14,700 --> 00:14:15,967
- You okay?
351
00:14:16,067 --> 00:14:17,067
- Oh, yeah. Yeah.
352
00:14:17,133 --> 00:14:18,467
I'm just fabulous.
353
00:14:18,533 --> 00:14:19,900
Coffee?
354
00:14:19,967 --> 00:14:21,233
- Yeah.
355
00:14:26,300 --> 00:14:28,233
- I think we have
a real shot with Lachlan.
356
00:14:28,300 --> 00:14:30,800
You were a shark in there.
357
00:14:30,867 --> 00:14:32,633
- Yay.
358
00:14:32,700 --> 00:14:34,233
Well...
359
00:14:34,300 --> 00:14:35,800
it's a good thing
some female sharks
360
00:14:35,867 --> 00:14:38,233
can reproduce alone.
361
00:14:38,300 --> 00:14:39,467
- Can they?
362
00:14:39,533 --> 00:14:40,733
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.
363
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,333
Some hammerheads.
364
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,433
- That's, uh, super weird.
365
00:14:53,833 --> 00:14:55,767
Of course he cooks.
366
00:14:55,833 --> 00:14:57,200
God.
367
00:14:57,267 --> 00:14:58,867
- If it were up to me,
368
00:14:58,933 --> 00:15:00,700
I would do everything
Belinda Lacroix did
369
00:15:00,767 --> 00:15:01,933
but with much kinkier sex.
370
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,467
- I'm thinking vampires,
but they don't have fangs.
371
00:15:07,533 --> 00:15:10,467
It's all about longing,
frustration, and veganism.
372
00:15:12,133 --> 00:15:14,400
- Picture wolves
with human genitals.
373
00:15:17,233 --> 00:15:18,800
- And, of course...
- They get their...
374
00:15:18,867 --> 00:15:19,867
- H...
- E...
375
00:15:19,933 --> 00:15:21,133
- A.s.
376
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:22,867
- I think I am allergic...
377
00:15:24,067 --> 00:15:25,367
To these women.
378
00:15:34,067 --> 00:15:35,667
- As someone
who teaches literature,
379
00:15:35,733 --> 00:15:38,067
I would want
to elevate the genre,
380
00:15:38,133 --> 00:15:39,700
make it more grounded.
381
00:15:39,767 --> 00:15:42,800
- So you mean
no shape-shifters?
382
00:15:42,867 --> 00:15:44,867
- Excuse me?
- Just checking.
383
00:15:44,933 --> 00:15:46,700
Uh, please continue.
384
00:15:46,767 --> 00:15:48,700
- I don't know if my agent
mentioned this to you,
385
00:15:48,767 --> 00:15:52,133
but I can't always deliver
happy endings.
386
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:53,533
- Then don't.
387
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,533
- You would consider that?
388
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,800
- After the pitches
we heard today,
389
00:15:57,867 --> 00:15:59,633
we would consider
almost anything.
390
00:15:59,700 --> 00:16:02,333
- I know the happy ending
is the big rule in romance,
391
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,567
but I want to blow it up.
392
00:16:04,633 --> 00:16:06,133
It's just too expected.
393
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,567
And my stories would be
about real love.
394
00:16:08,633 --> 00:16:10,467
Lust and desire, yes,
395
00:16:10,533 --> 00:16:14,100
but also about the damage
that people do to one another.
396
00:16:14,167 --> 00:16:16,667
- And you wouldn't mind
writing under Belinda's name?
397
00:16:16,733 --> 00:16:20,667
- Writing as Belinda appeals
to me because of the pseudonym.
398
00:16:20,733 --> 00:16:22,067
Columbia would not
give me tenure
399
00:16:22,133 --> 00:16:23,533
if they knew I wrote romance.
400
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,133
- Great.
401
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:26,767
I mean, wildly unfair
about the tenure,
402
00:16:26,833 --> 00:16:27,933
but otherwise great.
403
00:16:34,067 --> 00:16:36,100
- So who do you like?
- Columbia.
404
00:16:36,167 --> 00:16:38,533
I know her take on the genre
isn't the most commercial,
405
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,533
but it's definitely
interesting.
406
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,067
- What about the readers?
407
00:16:42,133 --> 00:16:44,067
They won't miss
their "happily ever afters"?
408
00:16:44,067 --> 00:16:46,100
- The readers might be comforted
to know they're not crazy
409
00:16:46,167 --> 00:16:47,867
if love doesn't work out
for them
410
00:16:47,933 --> 00:16:50,533
like it does for the heroines
in these books.
411
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,700
- It's certainly more realistic.
412
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,600
I am so sorry.
413
00:17:02,667 --> 00:17:04,433
I, um--
I have to go.
414
00:17:04,500 --> 00:17:07,433
My roommate is in trouble
or about to be trouble.
415
00:17:07,500 --> 00:17:09,867
It's hard to tell.
- Yeah. Of course.
416
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:16,633
Have a good night.
417
00:17:16,700 --> 00:17:19,133
- * You're a new song *
418
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,133
* You're a new song, baby *
419
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,967
* You're a new song to me *
420
00:17:24,067 --> 00:17:26,967
* You're a new song *
421
00:17:27,067 --> 00:17:28,533
- That seems a little obvious.
422
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,267
And was that
a Robert Longo? Bold.
423
00:17:31,333 --> 00:17:34,200
- Liza, she's selling
my work for $20,000.
424
00:17:34,267 --> 00:17:36,067
I only get $5,000!
425
00:17:38,133 --> 00:17:41,467
- Patrick's an incredibly
important collector.
426
00:17:41,533 --> 00:17:43,967
Oh, my God.
What are they doing here?
427
00:17:44,067 --> 00:17:46,967
- Ooh, M-M-Montana,
hold up. Mm!
428
00:17:47,067 --> 00:17:49,400
- Well, I-I hope
they plan to thank Montana
429
00:17:49,467 --> 00:17:51,133
for making her relevant again.
430
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,833
- Somehow, I don't think
she's here to say thank you.
431
00:17:55,367 --> 00:17:57,200
- Okay, she's coming over.
- Huh. Good.
432
00:17:57,267 --> 00:17:59,400
- Don't smile like that.
It scares me.
433
00:17:59,467 --> 00:18:01,067
- I need you to know
that I keep a secret stash
434
00:18:01,133 --> 00:18:02,567
in the Halloween pumpkin
in my room.
435
00:18:02,633 --> 00:18:03,900
- A secret stash of what?
436
00:18:03,967 --> 00:18:05,167
- Bail money.
- Oh, boy.
437
00:18:05,233 --> 00:18:06,567
- Maggie!
438
00:18:06,633 --> 00:18:08,167
What a surprise.
439
00:18:08,233 --> 00:18:09,867
- Not as surprised as I am.
440
00:18:09,933 --> 00:18:11,867
- Oh, Mags, I didn't want you
to find out this way.
441
00:18:11,933 --> 00:18:14,133
I'm sorry.
This must look so bad.
442
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,267
But I'm doing you a favor.
- Really? How's that?
443
00:18:16,333 --> 00:18:17,867
- I'm elevating the monetary
444
00:18:17,933 --> 00:18:19,933
and philosophical value
of your work.
445
00:18:20,067 --> 00:18:22,933
If you went to art school,
you'd understand. Trust me.
446
00:18:23,067 --> 00:18:24,233
- That's my painting.
447
00:18:24,300 --> 00:18:25,667
- Mm-hmm.
And you gave it to me.
448
00:18:25,733 --> 00:18:27,567
I put my mark on it,
and now it's mine.
449
00:18:27,633 --> 00:18:29,400
That's the point
of the whole show.
450
00:18:29,467 --> 00:18:31,067
- Oh.
451
00:18:32,533 --> 00:18:34,133
- No. Oh, my God!
452
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:35,800
- Whoa!
453
00:18:35,867 --> 00:18:38,600
Oh, my God.
454
00:18:38,667 --> 00:18:39,600
- There...
455
00:18:39,667 --> 00:18:41,267
now it's mine again.
456
00:18:56,867 --> 00:18:58,533
- You told her.
457
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,600
Look, I'm sorry, Montana.
458
00:19:00,667 --> 00:19:02,600
I had to.
It didn't feel right.
459
00:19:02,667 --> 00:19:05,367
You were assisting Maggie
just to get her painting.
460
00:19:05,433 --> 00:19:07,800
- You only slept with me
just so you could hurt your ex.
461
00:19:09,367 --> 00:19:12,367
I cannot believe you
chose them over me.
462
00:19:12,433 --> 00:19:14,933
I'm gonna be such a big deal.
463
00:19:15,067 --> 00:19:16,967
- Good luck with that, Amy.
464
00:19:18,700 --> 00:19:21,067
- I haven't been called Amy
in, like, a year.
465
00:19:36,767 --> 00:19:38,200
- Zane...
466
00:19:38,267 --> 00:19:40,433
You're not cooking
with the microwave.
467
00:19:40,500 --> 00:19:42,267
You're using shallots.
468
00:19:42,333 --> 00:19:44,067
You're now stirring my drink.
469
00:19:44,100 --> 00:19:46,933
You're almost too perfect.
470
00:19:47,067 --> 00:19:49,500
- "Almost"?
- Almost.
471
00:19:58,300 --> 00:20:00,500
I have to tell you something.
472
00:20:00,567 --> 00:20:02,000
- Yeah?
473
00:20:03,700 --> 00:20:06,167
- We signed Lachlan Flynn
at Empirical.
474
00:20:11,700 --> 00:20:15,067
- This "Vulture" article
hit about an hour ago.
475
00:20:15,133 --> 00:20:16,300
Game on.
476
00:20:16,367 --> 00:20:17,933
I'll get you back.
477
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,367
- What?
478
00:20:20,433 --> 00:20:22,700
You're not mad?
- Not at all.
479
00:20:22,767 --> 00:20:24,700
You just got
a lot more interesting.
480
00:20:24,767 --> 00:20:28,100
Besides, we were gonna cut him
from the roster anyway.
481
00:20:28,167 --> 00:20:30,367
- Why?
- Mm...
482
00:20:30,433 --> 00:20:32,767
He's your problem now.
He's your author.
483
00:20:32,833 --> 00:20:35,533
Okay. I'll go.
484
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,033
- No, no, no. Stay.
485
00:20:38,133 --> 00:20:40,300
But no sleeping over.
486
00:20:40,367 --> 00:20:42,567
I saw the toothbrush
and panties in your purse.
487
00:20:42,633 --> 00:20:45,300
- Okay. Don't flatter yourself.
488
00:20:45,367 --> 00:20:47,633
I always have a toothbrush
and panties in my purse.
489
00:20:47,700 --> 00:20:48,900
I'm a New Yorker.
490
00:20:48,967 --> 00:20:50,400
- Mm-hmm.
491
00:20:54,133 --> 00:20:55,500
- It needs salt.
492
00:21:10,867 --> 00:21:13,900
- I mean, I knew Maggie
could handle her herself,
493
00:21:13,967 --> 00:21:15,367
but...
494
00:21:15,433 --> 00:21:17,367
A switchblade?
495
00:21:17,433 --> 00:21:19,800
It's, like, a whole new level.
496
00:21:19,867 --> 00:21:21,633
Thank you for giving her
the heads-up.
497
00:21:21,700 --> 00:21:23,633
It means a lot.
- Yeah.
498
00:21:23,700 --> 00:21:25,133
She's my friend.
499
00:21:26,767 --> 00:21:28,300
Just...
500
00:21:28,367 --> 00:21:29,800
tell me...
501
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,233
Why'd you have to kiss him?
502
00:21:37,233 --> 00:21:40,133
- I just--
I don't know.
503
00:21:41,867 --> 00:21:43,800
Some part of me needed
to blow things up.
504
00:21:47,633 --> 00:21:49,367
Why?
505
00:21:49,433 --> 00:21:51,900
- Because I want you
to have everything.
506
00:21:51,967 --> 00:21:54,233
I want you to have time
to decide about kids,
507
00:21:54,300 --> 00:21:57,233
to decide when it's right
or if you want one
508
00:21:57,300 --> 00:21:58,767
or maybe even five.
509
00:21:59,900 --> 00:22:03,600
And maybe someday I can be
that fun Aunt Liza who...
510
00:22:04,867 --> 00:22:07,633
Reads them books
and takes them to the beach
511
00:22:07,700 --> 00:22:09,633
and builds them blanket forts.
512
00:22:09,700 --> 00:22:13,533
I build
the best blanket forts.
513
00:22:16,100 --> 00:22:19,367
Just please tell me
that you'll be in my life.
514
00:22:19,433 --> 00:22:21,100
Please. Somehow.
515
00:22:21,167 --> 00:22:25,433
There's got to be
a better ending to us than this.
516
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,267
Yeah.
517
00:22:34,967 --> 00:22:36,500
Okay.
518
00:22:40,367 --> 00:22:42,067
Good night, Liza.
519
00:22:44,067 --> 00:22:45,767
* I made--
I made a mistake *
520
00:22:45,833 --> 00:22:47,633
* Please just look me
in my face *
521
00:22:47,700 --> 00:22:49,633
* Tell me everything's okay *
522
00:22:49,700 --> 00:22:51,633
* 'Cause I got it *
523
00:22:51,700 --> 00:22:54,133
* Ooh *
524
00:23:03,367 --> 00:23:05,133
- So does Josh forgive us?
525
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:06,400
- I think he just might.
526
00:23:06,467 --> 00:23:07,700
Hey, did you see this?
527
00:23:07,767 --> 00:23:09,167
You're in "New York" magazine.
528
00:23:09,233 --> 00:23:10,700
They're calling you
"The Slasher."
529
00:23:10,767 --> 00:23:13,100
- Ooh! Well, anything's
better than Mags.
530
00:23:13,167 --> 00:23:14,600
Ooh. Not my best angle.
531
00:23:14,667 --> 00:23:16,300
- "A literal knife fight
occurred
532
00:23:16,367 --> 00:23:17,900
"in the art world last night
533
00:23:17,967 --> 00:23:19,900
"when venerable artist
Maggie Amato
534
00:23:19,967 --> 00:23:23,300
"arrived at Montana Goldberg's
first show at Gray Space.
535
00:23:23,367 --> 00:23:24,967
"From the depths of obscurity,
536
00:23:25,067 --> 00:23:27,967
Amato reminded us
she's still relevant."
537
00:23:28,067 --> 00:23:31,400
- "These older artists will not
go gently into the night.
538
00:23:31,467 --> 00:23:34,967
An Amato show of her own
is long overdue."
539
00:23:36,333 --> 00:23:37,433
- Is this woman your roommate?
540
00:23:37,500 --> 00:23:39,067
- Uh, she's part roommate,
541
00:23:39,100 --> 00:23:40,767
part mentor.
542
00:23:40,833 --> 00:23:42,867
- I would love to meet her
and see her work.
543
00:23:44,100 --> 00:23:45,267
Make that happen.
544
00:23:45,333 --> 00:23:46,367
- Really?
545
00:23:46,433 --> 00:23:48,167
Okay.
546
00:23:48,233 --> 00:23:49,767
- I'm glad to see
you're surrounding yourself
547
00:23:49,833 --> 00:23:52,767
with older, wiser women.
548
00:23:52,833 --> 00:23:54,100
We're good for you.
549
00:23:56,167 --> 00:23:57,833
Okay, go.
550
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,233
- Yeah?
551
00:24:05,300 --> 00:24:07,900
- I've been thinking more
about the Columbia professor.
552
00:24:07,967 --> 00:24:09,900
She's really smart,
but I think it's a mistake
553
00:24:09,967 --> 00:24:12,333
not to deliver a happy ending.
554
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,167
- I'm glad to hear you say that.
555
00:24:14,233 --> 00:24:15,800
I already told Redmond
we passed.
556
00:24:15,867 --> 00:24:17,533
- You did?
- Yeah.
557
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,533
I'm not going to be
the one to deprive readers
558
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,767
of their "happily ever afters."
559
00:24:22,833 --> 00:24:25,500
They just want
to believe love exists.
560
00:24:25,567 --> 00:24:27,433
- Exactly.
561
00:24:27,500 --> 00:24:30,100
And a happy ending isn't
the worst thing to hope for.
562
00:24:30,167 --> 00:24:32,100
Right?
563
00:24:32,167 --> 00:24:34,433
- Not to mention
good for business.
564
00:24:38,900 --> 00:24:40,833
Good night, Charles.
565
00:24:42,300 --> 00:24:43,667
- Good night, Liza.
