All language subtitles for After The Ball English

*

* There's been a
lot of talk of love. *

* But that don't
amount to nothing. *

*

* You can evolve
the stars above. *

* But that doesn't
make it something. *

* And the only way to last...

* And the only
way to live it... *

* Is to hold on
when you get lost *

ANNOUNCER: Welcome to the
Metro Academy of Fashion's

graduation showcase.

*

KATE: Oh, come on.

ANNOUNCER: ...sporting
a fresh new look!

*

KATE: Pins, pins, pins...

*

KATE: Yes!

*

ANNOUNCEMENT: ...20 seconds.

*

Oh my God, Kate!

Total disaster!

She completely
mangled the elastic--

MODEL: Not my fault.

You make it so flimsy!

It wasn't flimsy.

You tore it with your stiletto.
Who puts shoes on first?

Russians.

Polly, breathe.

...gonna pin it.

ANNOUNCEMENT: 10 seconds, Polly.

KATE: Go, go.

You're a lifesaver.

Not your fault.

ANNOUNCEMENT :Kate
Kassell, 1 minute.

Where's the pins you wanted
to get? You just had them.

Okay, well, I
don't have one

so you're just gonna
have to hold it up.

I won't be able
to remember that.

It's in 30 seconds.

MODEL: I won't be
able to remember.

*

Oooh!

*

(applause)

Hi, um, I just wanted
to introduce myself.

I'm Kate Kassell.

I was the last designer
of the showcase.

I admire
Prada so much.

I was wondering if maybe
you had a position--

Kassell?

Of Kassell clothing?

Yeah.

Well, that's my
father's business

but I actually wanna work...

You're the daughter of the
man whose business is built on

taking our designs and
turning out knockoffs

and you'd like a job?

Yeah.

Uh, well that's actually
why I went to fashion school.

Dear, you're
obviously very talented

but with your pedigree
who would hire you?

Nice meeting you, Kate.

(sigh)

(cellphone beeps)

(pop)

(cellphone beeps)

(pop)

(cellphone beeps)

(cellphone beeps)

(airplane passing by)

Ow, ow, ow, ow...

*

*

Shouldn't you
be in bed?

It's only 8:30.

I'm allowed to stay
up to 10 these days.

Hello, my
darling Kate.

(sigh)

You look so thin.

We need to get some soup
into you. Richard's here.

Richard!

Did you call your Dad

or is this another secret
visit to Montreal?

RICHARD: All hail
the conquering heroine.

RICHARD: There she is.

Hup!

You look more like
your mother every day.

Doesn't she and she
has the talent to match.

My goddaughter can make a
ball gown out of a burlap sack.

RICHARD: Oh, such fond
memories of burlap.

Not for mixed company though.

Vino, Tinto?

Yes, please.

BELLA: Who's that?

It's Dad.

He's sorry that he
missed my showcase

and he's asking if I want
to work at Kassell.

We should think
about it.

Seriously and work for my
stepmom and her two devil spawn.

Forget about them.

You could design.
You could learn the trade.

I want to work in a couture
fashion house, Bella.

And I want to perform
"Priscilla, Queen of the Desert"

on Broadway
opposite Channing Tatum.

BELLA: I'd see that.

Honey, anyone would

but sometimes even the
best ideas don't work out.

What'd you do if
you were in my shoes?

Get new shoes.

Amen.

If I were you,
I'd take his offer.

You have nothing to
lose and you never know

where this might lead.

But seriously,
new shoes.

No one wants to see a
dentist with bad teeth.

Okay.

Who's pouring me
some of that vino?

*

You're going for
a job in fashion

and this is what
you're wearing?

Oh, stop fussing.

It's just Dad.

Well, at least let
me add some colour.

Humour me.

(whistle)

*

(sigh)

*

(sigh)

*

(bang)

(laughing)

Are you okay?

Ow!

You okay?

I'm sorry.

Just... I'm a little
bit nervous and um,

it's my first
day. So...

It's gonna
be fine.

Just go
slowly. (laugh)

All right, I'm going
to try this again.

(bang)

(phone ringing)

(talking French)

(phone ringing)

Kassell Clothing.

One moment
please.

(phone ringing)

Kassell
Clothing.

Hi.

I'll see if he's in.

I'm here...

She's in a meeting.

Excuse me.

Can you just...

With whom?

(phone ringing)

Hello, girl who
can't work a door. Hi.

Um, I'm here to see Lee Kassell.

He's in Europe.

You can speak to the
Vice-President, Elise Kassell.

Fantastic.

ELISE: Let me be very clear.

The price I will pay is
the price I was quoted.

I don't care about the shortage.

I didn't cause the typhoon.

So what you need to do is get
me that shipment at that price.

You got it?

Fine, thank you so much.

Yes, okay, thank you, bye-bye.

Katie!

Oh my goodness.

Is that really you?

It's been so long.
Look at you.

What a cute hat.
That's so brave.

It's good to see you, Elise.

What are you going here?

Well, uh, I was
going to see my dad.

Oh, your dad's in
London for the week.

Yeah...

It doesn't matter.

Y'know your stepmom is
here for anything you need.

Just ask away.

I'd like to take him up
on his offer of a job.

Wow.

That's great.

I... you know what I
think I'm just surprised

because there was
that, you know,

that difficult separation
before you went to New York.

Yeah, um, here's my portfolio.

It's just... it's some
mock ups and sketches.

I thought you wanted
to work in couture?

I'd love to work here.

I grew up here and
it's the family business.

The business has changed so
much since you were young

and so has the family.

Oh Katie, we are
thrilled to have you back.

(sigh)

There's just a long queue.

Everyone wants to design.

Well, I don't want
any special treatment.

Really, you would
just work your way up

and pay your dues just
like everyone else?

Of course.

Yes.

That... that's just
such a great attitude.

You know what, I'm going to put
you under Tannis and Simone

and just keep it
all in the family.

Your daughters
are designing?

You'll see them
in the meeting.

What meeting?

ELISE: Everyone, this is Katie.

Go take that seat, dear.

Mm hm.

ELISE: Fresh out
of design school

and here for some real
world experience.

I see everyone has a
water and I don't.

I guess I'm not thirsty.

(small scream)

(banging)

You okay?

Yeah.

It's really...

It's okay.
It's-it's...

I'll take care of it.

I'm sure no one noticed.

So sorry.

Don't worry.

Nobody here thinks
you're awkward or anything.

Oh my God;
no one.

We're all just
embarrassed for you right now.

Maurice, where's
our model.

The twins fired
her on Wednesday.

(together) We're not twins.

TANNIS: Stop saying that.

Well, who's going to
try on the dress for us?

How about Kate?

Me?

I'm not really a model.

Absolutely it
should be you, Kate.

Yeah, we need to
support her right now.

Yeah, she just had
that humiliating fall.

We all saw it.

ELISE: Excellent idea.

Come on, Katie.

Okay.

*

(clears throat)

*

Um, excuse me.

There's a screen
right there.

*

SIMONE: How hard's it to
change into something.

TANNIS: How hard?

We have a
good variety of fabric.

Where is it written that every
piece must come in five colours?

MAURICE: On the
requisition orders you signed.

ELISE: No, I only sign those
things for the pieces I like.

MAURICE: But you signed them.

Well, I like it
better already.

Okay, as instructed by
the powers that be,

I stripped
down the design.

It looks boring.

That's what happens when
you take away the fun.

We're not focusing
on fun, Maurice.

Our customers are
worker bees who shop

during their lunch hour.

Girls, I'd like you to come up
with something better so go back

to the inspiration board
and for everyone else,

we're done. Bye-bye.

I want the two of
you to supervise Kate.

I thought she was
too good for retail.

She is.

I don't think
she'll like it here.

Why not?

Why won't
she like it?

There's free coffee
and donuts...

Tannis, she's saying she
wants us to get Kate to quit.

Oh, yeah.

Um...

SIMONE: Kate?

I'm-I'm Daniel by the
way; from Shoes.

Hi.

Hi.

Is it always like this?

Oh no, normally
it's really tense.

Kate?

MAURICE: Forget him, honey.

He's been single so long I
think he's forgotten how.

Kate! Now!

*

I left my stuff back there.

Do you guys think I
could change out of this?

Why?

You look so cute.

Way better than
what wearing before.

And this room hasn't
been sorted in years.

*

Okay.

How do you want it?

Uh...sorted.

(gasp)

(sigh)

*

*

(whispering) Yes.

*

(quietly) That will do.

(chattering)

(phone ringing)

Be nice cause she's
nice and you're not.

KATE: Hey.

Um, I have some
ideas for this dress.

It's very nice
already, Maurice.

Please, I hate it.

Elise noted it to
death at sample.

(laugh)

Um, okay,

well, there's-there's
two darts at the back.

Um, if you left out a
panel the waistline is...

Oh, I love this.

Very Twiggy.

Yes, 60s, right?

And with these
buttons I found--

we've got thousands of them.

Kate, if I wanted you to have
an idea I'd give it to you.

Yeah, where'd you
think I get all of mine?

So, is the accessory
room all done yet?

Uh, no, nope.

I should... well, I
just, I should get on that.

Yeah.

That was not nice.

Tannis?

What?

Get in here!

Okay.

*

BELLA: Kate, you're seriously
wearing those overalls to work?

Is it bring your
shame to work day?

I'm sorting buttons and
I needed the pockets.

Sorting buttons when you should
be designing and they know it.

Right now I'm
just paying my dues.

Dad's back today.

I can't give Elise a reason to
say I'm not working out.

Just push for
what you want.

All I want right
now is a cab.

(whistle)

*

KATE: Yes.

Um, Elise needs
to speak to you.

And she's the
boss of you.

Okay.

ELISE: I understand but I'm
gonna show them this.

Hey, Dad.

Kate.

Kate.

Hi.

Hi.

Look at you.

Well.

I'm, um, Elise told me
that you accepted my offer.

I'm so pleased.

Uh, well, you've,
uh, um, you're taller.

Ah, I'm exactly
the same size.

(laughing)

I mean, well
you know,

I mean, you've
grown up.

Yeah.

Four years,
you know.

Has it?

No, it hasn't been
that long, has it?

(clears throat)

Okay.

Um, I'm very sorry that I
missed your graduation.

No...

No, it was-it was
rescheduling the...

Yeah. No, Dad.

I'm sure that
you were just really,

really busy
here and...

He's a very busy man.

Ah, here I am
apologizing again.

No, Dad, I'm sorry.

I...

We need to
reconnect.

Dinner, Friday.

You pick it.

My treat.

Okay.

Okay?

Yeah, let's do it.

Great.

Yeah.

*

(sigh)

*

Good talk.

*

*

(walking down the stairs)

*

*

Hello?

*

*

Are they alright?

Oh!

I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

Ow.

Oh.

You gotta start
wearing a helmet--

(laughing)

KATE: They're really
nice, these shoes.

DANIEL: Thanks.

Wanna try them on?

Oh, no.

It's okay.

I've never seen
them with someone.

I have to
get back...

This is work.

Okay.

I'll do it.

Safer that way.

(laugh)

*

I'm an odd size.

Yeah, they're
a bit big.

KATE: They're nice.

DANIEL: Nice?

Oh, you're a designer.

You can do better than that.

Okay.

Um, the pitch
needs work

and the width of the
lash is a bit narrow.

I would actually close the
peep and lower the vamps,

see more toe cleavage

and then you could just-
just get rid of the straps.

(laugh) I don't know.

I was expecting maybe
like one adjective but...

...I asked.

I-I asked for it and
actually you're right.

Yeah, you're right.

Well, buttons await.

If I can find my
way back there.

(laugh)

Do, uh, can I
walk you there?

Oh, yeah.

Sure.

Okay.

Um, kids?
Married?

I'm quite
unattached.

Same for me.

Yeah, Maurice
was telling me...

Ah, Maurice.

I like the guy
but sometimes...

what did he say?

I'm a broken man hiding in
the basement licking my wounds.

Cursing my fate.

That you
were single.

*

Oh.

KATE: So terrible, all
these people laid off?

DANIEL: Yeah well, back when Mr.
Kassell actually gave a damn,

this used to be a
great place to work.

Now he's like
some mythical beast.

You know there's been sightings
but no one knows much about him.

Including me.

Well, you
just got here.

You do know that
he's my dad, right?

(laugh)

No, really.

What? Oh.

Just going over
everything I just said and...

Oh, uh, I'm...
I'm sorry.

I thought you knew. I thought
everybody would know that.

No don't-
don't be sorry.

Um, I'm the one that
was bad mouthing him.

I didn't mean to
make you feel bad.

Really?

Yeah.

KATE: Whoo!

Ow!

Huh.

Looks like
we're neighbours.

Yeah.

I might have taken
you the wrong way.

Hmm.

It's a
beautiful room.

Very cozy.

That yours?

Yeah.

They... it's-it's
really nothing.

They're just really
loose, uh, sketches.

*

(laugh) Is that me?

No.

That's me.

No.

It was... I... it was
another designer.

(laugh)

The coat is awesome.

It's a nice coat.

Thanks.

It's yours if I
ever get to design.

Well, thank you.

(laugh) Um...

Thanks.

There you go.

Have fun.

I'll let you work.

Try not to
hurt anyone.

Yup.

Bye.

Bye.

*

(sigh)

Okay...

*

*

*

I don't know why
she hasn't quit yet.

TANNIS: I dunno. I think
buttons are kinda cool.

Shh!

If she won't quit.

We'll just have to
get Lee to fire her.

Yeah.

Hey, I just finished,
uh, metals versus plastics.

Follow me.

I was just
telling the girls

this is a waste
of Katie's talent.

It's time we moved
you into design.

Thank you, Elise!

I promise I won't
let you down.

I have so
many ideas.

Just remember,
you're the CEO's daughter.

So always be
a team player.

Absolutely.

(sigh)

Everyone, Katie Kassell.

Yes, that Kassell but
no special treatment.

That's your place.

Girls?

Well, that was a
quick promotion.

Yes, well, she's
here to help.

Aren't you Katie?

Dad, I found the most amazing
restaurant for dinner tonight.

No student dives.
This is my treat.

Honey?

We have dinner with the mayor
tonight about that tax thing.

Took us
forever to get.

Right.

Tomorrow then.

Tomorrow,
you're in Laval.

Why don't you let
me arrange it?

Let Elise arrange this.

She, uh, arranges things.

Okay, girls.

Daddy Lee, are you
ready for our pitch?

So you know how we hate to
see clothes go to waste?

No, I didn't
know that.

SIMONE: Exactly.

So, um, when
Maurice's designs flopped

we wanted to find
a frugal solution.

Yes, one that didn't
cost a lot of money

and so we came up with this.

Show him.

Buttons.

Buttons.

LEE: Well, well, well.

I like it.

Now a simple design
with a bold concept.

Exactly.

In my day, we
called that a runner.

Who knew?

(clapping)

Um, guys?

That was... I
came up with that.

There's no I in
Kassell, Kate.

Except at the end.

What?

After the "e".

SIMONE: Those are "L's".

Duh, but you write them like
"I's" Simone. Google it.

It's called grammar.

Anyways.

We pride ourselves on being
a holistic creative team.

So why don't you start by
just putting our designs

into the computer.

Can I just go get my
stuff in Accessories?

Oh, yeah, no. I'll
get that for you.

It's kind of like an
inputting emergency.

So...

SIMONE: Okay. Bye.

*

TANNIS: Nice buttons...

Oh, we should totally upload
dirty pictures to her Instagram.

Gimme that.

Mom told me exactly what
to do. Don't mess this up.

I won't mess this up.

Tannis.

Mom told me
exactly what to do.

I wrote it down.

TANNIS: Take these to
the flagship store.

SIMONE: But before
she does that

you need to upload the
designs to the company FTP.

Take these to the
flagship store.

Before that,
upload the designs.

Have you ever done that before?

Get a pen. I'll give
you the address.

*

(sigh)

KATE: No, "I" in Kassell.

Are these the
new pieces?

Yeah.

Um...

So...

I think what they're going
for... you don't like them.

Yeah.

Um, not so much.

Hold on. Just need
you to sign something.

Okay.

MOM: What do you think?

GIRL: I don't like it.

MOM: Sweetie, you
look beautiful.

It doesn't make me feel special.

Come on.

You look gorgeous.

No, I want that one over there.

MOM: Honey, we talked about
it. It's too expensive.

GIRL: Please.

MOM: C'mon.

MOM: We can make this
one work, right?

GIRL: I guess.

MOM: You'll look beautiful.

MOM: I promise.

GIRL: Whatever.

You should've
seen her face.

She was so
disappointed.

(sigh)

It was such an easy
construction though

and then she
settled for a dress.

A boring, rigid, a
least inspired dress.

I don't get it. What
happened here?

Well, Elise wanted
to focus on bridge,

day-to-night wear.

You know
business casual.

Yeah, business boring.

(laugh)

I don't get it.

Why aren't we
using the cutting room?

I mean, I could've
made that dress

and it could've
been affordable.

It would've been so
easy for me to transform it.

You know what?

What?

You're going
to do great things.

I'm sorry.

ELISE: There you are.

Come with me, Kate.

Now.

Okay.

No problem.

KATE: Hey, Dad.

KATE: Something wrong?

Katie, did you upload
the dress designs

to the Kassell
FTP server?

Yes.

Did they not go through?

They did.

To a public FTP server
that anyone can access.

And 10 minutes
later, Frost Apparel

downloaded those designs.

How would they know
that they were there?

I don't know.

I mean, what are you saying...?

ELISE: Someone would have
to tell them wouldn't they?

KATE: I guess.

Simone gave me the address.

ELISE: Is this your writing?

She dictated it to me, Elise.

Tannis told me
that you were upset.

That you felt that you
contributed to their collection.

I did and they took my ideas.

I would never do
something like this.

May I see your phone?

Oh.

Our samples.

What?

Let's hope they have
gone nowhere else.

I didn't take those!

But they're in your phone.

I've been set up.

Clearly, I've been
set up by somebody.

Who would set you up?

I cannot have this kind of
behaviour in the workplace.

Do you understand me?

LEE: I cannot tolerate this.

I'm sorry.

ELISE: Oh, Katie.

You have to stop
hurting your father.

You've gotta be kidding me.

Now obviously this is
not going to work out.

Clearly.

You need to clean
out your desk

and I will have HR arrange
two weeks of severance.

*

Can I have my phone back please?

*

She totally played me
and I walked right into it

and now I can't even work at
my own family business?

How could Lee be so blind?

KATE: She's driving the
company into the ground.

She's stifling the designers
like some evil corporate witch.

No offense to witches.

None taken.

I have gotta show him
who Elise really is.

We have to do something.

BELLA: That's it.

Let's do something.

That's the spirit.

Let's egg their house.

What are you
- twelve?

BELLA: You know,
shame on your father.

(sigh)

Why didn't you tell Lee that
the girls stole your designs

in the 1st place?

I tried but Elise.

I don't know why
I'm so scared of her.

I open my mouth and
nothing comes out of it.

I know exactly what
you mean, buttercup.

I have the same problem.

BELLA You do not have
the same problem.

He just says what he thinks
and then regrets it later.

You need some of
Richard's chutzpah.

Yeah.

Hmm hmm!

Richard you stand
there and people listen to you.

You know, they
make space for you.

Come.

Let's have them listen to us.

We'll tell them, "Make
your own damn designs."

Make your own
damn designs!

(laughing)

KATE: Make your
own damn designs!

Or I'll kick
your ass!

Your surgically
enhanced asses!

RICHARD: Yes!

KATE: All the way back
to the tanning salon.

(laughing)

Kate.

Richard.

What-what if Richard
applied to Kassell to design?

See this is when
Bella's had too much wine.

And the mind. It's
the first thing to go.

I don't mean
you as you.

I mean you as him.

We could get some
clothes from the shop.

Think Twelfth Night in disguise.

Good Madonna, please give me
leave to prove you're a fool.

Why?

To do what?

You need to get
back into Kassell.

Get close to your dad again.

You can't do that as Kate.

Where's that picture?

There!

The little boy model
didn't show up

and your mother
used you instead.

Oh, is that you?

That's her.

She said it's
all in the attitude.

See, he didn't
even recognize you.

Wow.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

I know that look.

No way.

You need to go
back to Kassell

as someone that they will
listen to and take seriously.

*

RICHARD: I'm a
man. Here I am.

Yes!

No. No, no. No, no.

(chattering)

If you walk like this,
people are gonna think...

I have my hands here-- look!

See? Look at this. Look.

*

No, I haven't done this since we
mounted "Cyrano" at the Centaur.

We also did a play.
Can't remember the title.

Just turn your chin.

KATE: Last night,
this was really funny

but I just-- I don't...

Don't talk.

You know the sideburns and the
eyebrows could be better

but the jaw; that's the real
giveaway and that is...

let's go show Bella.

It's Nate Ganymede.

Sergio, you will
not regret this.

You haven't seen a designer
this good in a very long time.

Trust me.

Okay.

Ciao, bello.

(kiss)

Oh, yes.

Hello, may I help you.

Jaw line's a real
giveaway don't you think?

(gasping)

Ah, Kate!

RICHARD: Fooled you!

Oh geez, Richard.
Are those contacts?

(chuckling)

Are you ready
to go for a test drive?

No way. No way.

No, no.

Just remember... remember do the
opposite of what Kate would do.

Just be me.

Be me.

Wait, no...

(clears throat)

(sigh)

Can I help you with
something, pal?

I mean, bro?

I mean, fella?

Yeah.

I-I need a tie for a date.

I just can't decide.

Um.

(clears throat)

You know, they both are pretty.

You know, uh, I
mean, pretty badass.

RICHARD: That's terrible.

Be me.

Um, you know, on second thought.

Don't be so boring, buttercup.

This- this is
absolutely the, um,

tie for you, right here.

Oh, lovely.

Uh, I don't know.

Pink?

Of course, it shows
that you're comfortable

with your masculinity.

We like that.

I mean,
women like that.

Heterosexual women.

Or so I've heard.

(clapping) Oh, bravo!

(laughing) Bravo!

BELLA: Oh my...

...and you sold the tie
twice what I would've asked for.

D'you think
he could tell?

Not a chance.

He was utterly
convinced you were a man.

A weird awkward man.

Well, I am
imitating you, Richard.

Opa!

(laughing)

Go.

Okay, so, um, I
called in a favour

with the head of
recruitment at Kassell.

What favour?

I told him that I had a
lead on a fabulously talented,

new designer named Nate.

Who's Nate?

You are.

It's what your mom
would've called you

if you had been a boy.

And sweetheart, you have an
interview with Lee in 2 hours.

What?

You can do it.

No. I can't.

Yes, you can.

You just did it.

Don't-don't be scared.

Don't... breathe.
Kate is scared.

Nate is not scared.

He is fearless.

Nate is--

Fierce!

Fearless!

Nate is fearless!

You can do it.

You guys know that
I'm Nate, right?

Hi, I'm Nate Ganymede.

Oh, wait.

Excuse me.

Oh.

*

You will stop for me.

Hey, cool.

BELLA: Kate?

This is one of Kassell's early
designs and the first runner.

Your dad loves
this jacket.

This is insane.

Good luck.

*

This will work.

Oh, yes.

Well, I think we should at
least consider his offer.

I hate Frost Apparel.

Colin Frost has been
stealing my ideas

since we were
students together.

Well, that is
what competitors do.

What the hell
happened here?

I don't know, honey.

Online shopping,
yoga pants.

(sigh)

People used to
smile at work here.

*

Designers used to stay up
all night working together

just to get one
piece perfect.

It felt like family.

*

Is this gonna work?

Okay, stop it!

Do what Richard would do.

Do what Richard would do.

*

Kassell Clothing...

one moment, please.

(phone ringing)

Kassell Clothing... please hold.

(phone ringing)

Kassell...

Good
afternoon.

Nate Ganymede.

I'm Lee Kassell's
two o'clock.

Actually, I believe
you're meeting Elise.

I don't think so.

Um...

Lee Kassell, please
report to reception.

Your two o'clock is
here and looking fabulous.

RECEPTIONIST: Give me that.

What're you...?

I'll be needing
a security pass.

Nate Ganymede.

Take off your glasses.

And ruin this ensemble?

Forget it!

Due diligence.

Last I checked the eyes
were the windows to the soul.

Darling, we're in fashion.

You don't want me
to have a soul.

Hmm.

So you trained at Parsons.

Interned at Dior and two
years in house at Zoom.

Why'd you want to
work at Kassell?

Because you've lost your way

and I'm the man to
help you find it again.

ELISE: Excuse me.

Your customers
are bored.

So am I.

ELISE: Ah, Nate this is
the CEO of our company,

Lee Kassell.

Pleased to
meet you.

Hello, Nathan.

Hello.

Nate is, uh...

I know it.

Autumn Expressions
1993 collection.

(sigh)

Right?

Right?

Yes, the jacket.

Vintage, uh, Kassell.

What they used
to call a runner.

Yes.

This is Nate.

The one Serge
called us about.

Have we met
before, Nate?

Not in this
incarnation.

Hmm.

Nate was just telling me
that he finds Kassell boring.

It's a bold strategy
for a job interview.

Boring?

How so?

Oh, honey, I can handle...

I am bored.

I'd go to Kassell
to see something new.

Now I go there and see
what I see everywhere else.

I don't think your
designers are being challenged

to come up with surprises.

Well, surprises
can be disastrous.

Exactly.

NATE: Take this
jacket, for example.

It could have been a
disaster but it works

and the customers
told you that.

Yeah, we sold a million
of these coats at least.

Literally a
million, uh huh.

And we opened six
other stores with this.

Kassell's one of the
few companies left with,

uh, in-house
manufacturing.

Only for samples.

Why not try limited runs.

Lee, what luck.

Nate is not only a
designer but also a businessman.

Yes, but we have discussed
limited runs haven't we?

ELISE: But every sample costs us
thousands of dollars to make.

I mean, this is all very
inspiring but talk is cheap.

You're right.

So Nate, you, uh, you
like surprises, do you?

I do. Yes.

Well then, surprise me.

Bring me something
unique but simple enough

to build in-house.

Consider it done.

How's Friday?

If I like it, we're going
to put your theory to test.

You won't be sorry.

*

LEE: Oh, come on.

Let's have a
little fun.

*

Friday.

(big sighs)

Friday.

Friday!

I still can't
believe that worked.

What?

You guaranteed me it would.

Well, I'm on medication.

Strong medication.

You should never listen to me.

Congratulations.

You are now
a designer.

That's exactly
my problem.

I don't have
anything to present.

Elise has already
seen my portfolio.

There is nothing that
they have not seen before.

No.

There must be.

Yes.

Yes!

Dad and Elise missed
my school showcase.

They haven't
seen this one yet.

You see.

I always say everything
happens for a reason.

If you had an attentive father,
you wouldn't have been able to

trick him into
distributing your designs.

BELLA: Ahh!

Oh Kate, that is
absolutely stunning.

*

The hautest of haute couture.

Kassell should be
knocking you off.

And that's just
what they'll be doing.

*

*

Welcome, everybody.

We are here to
reveal our new line:

Touch of Glamour.

SIMONE: So it's a mixture
of glamour and touching.

Go ahead, touch it.

We also have a variety of animal
prints for a sustainable living

and you can really mix
it up with this piece.

Drinks at work.

Work at drinks;
your choice.

A couple of accessories
in the bathroom and tada.

Is this daywear?

Yes.

Because it looks
like eveningwear.

(together) Yes.

All right.

Thank you.

ELISE: Love it.

Practical and affordable.

Boring, predictable.

LEE: Wait!

We have one more pitch
from a Mr. Nate Ganymede.

Present.

I don't think you go
from day to nightwear

by adding earrings and a
pair of sparkly heels.

Now that's just me.

All right.

This is Everyday Princess.

Trust me to transform.

Women don't want a
Touch of Glamour.

They wanna be the
belle of the ball.

You know what women want?

I wanna be the
belle of the ball.

I thought we agreed
you weren't gonna speak.

Just because you work a 9 to 5

doesn't mean you don't dream
of becoming someone else.

Here we are.

Who wouldn't want to take
this lovely lady for a spin?

You made that
sample in two days?

NATE: Yeah.

It's just something
I whipped up.

Forget about 6:30 cocktails.

Let's start thinking
about that midnight kiss.

(chuckle)

Special occasions
are not our forte.

Lee?

Yes, well
unfortunately that is true.

LEE: But, um, I think we
should take a shot at this.

You're hired.

Lee, are you reverting
to impulse decisions?

We worked on that.

Everyone, that's it.

Let's get back to work.

(chattering)

Nate, do you know there's
something about your work

that reminds me of the
way Kassell used to be.

Hmm.

It's quite wonderful.

So let's get you a station
so you can get to work.

This is Nate's resume.

Look into him.

Dig up dirt.

If we're lucky we'll
find some leverage

that can pry him out
of Lee's favour.

(together) What?

Don't talk in unison.

It's creepy.

(together) Sorry, Mom.

Hey!

Nothing.

We weren't
planning anything.

Cool.

Do you know where I
might find some buttons?

NATE: Well, this is just...

this is just spectacular.

What an exquisitely
ordered room.

Whoever did this should
really get a promotion.

Well, she doesn't work
at the company anymore.

Well, what
happened to her?

Same thing that's
gonna happen to you.

All right.

Look, sugar tits. I know
that your mom runs the company

and all but I don't take
crap from anyone,

especially two mediocre talents
who are in way over their heads.

Now if you want
war. I'll give you war.

But trust me, you
don't want war.

All right.

That was weird.

You are my hero.

No one talks to
those two like that.

I just say what I feel
and regret it later.

Please, don't
regret, sugar tits.

We should do
something to celebrate.

To welcome you
to Kassell.

Oh no. That's
just... it's really.

Just leave it with
me; drinking, dancing.

We'll blow the
night away.

Oh, Daniel.

You should come
with us for drinks?

Welcome me to Kassell.
Maurice is organizing.

Oh, Daniel doesn't
like to go out.

I'm in.

Just don't let him
choose the place.

(sigh)

Oh, it's a shame he's
straight, isn't it?

If you're into
that kind of thing.

French, gorgeous.

Trust issues.

About five years ago, he caught
his fiancée letting someone else

dip his fork
into her fondue.

And by fondue
I mean...

Yeah, I get
the idea.

He hasn't
dated since.

He hasn't even
put the train...

Yup, yup, yup.

I, uh, I
figured it out.

See you tonight?

*

Isn't this great!

Told you not to let
him pick the place.

To the bar!

*

What?

Vodka!

DANIEL: All right.

To the font of
all inspiration.

Cheers!

Cheers!

*

(coughing)

Another round!

Yeah!

Cheers!

Cheers!

*

*

*

It's cool, mate.
It's alright...

*

BELLA: Ah!

You're home early.

Uh oh, what's wrong?

(scream)

I've installed some spyware so,

if somebody steals your
design, you'll know.

And I've hidden your
folder on the network.

Wonder what's
in this...

Don't open those.

It's a decoy
design as a precaution.

Just please,
don't look at it.

Hey, hey, hey!

What is it?

(sigh)

My latest idea for
my own ears at Kassell.

Alien chic.

No!

Ohh.

What happened?

What is that?

That- that was
the 2000's.

Everything
was shiny.

Okay, I have
no decence.

Hey.

Um, nope...
I... bye.

DANIEL: You
ignoring me?

Nope.

You're totally
ignoring me.

Nope.

Just really
gotta...

Come on.

Gotta skedaddle.

DANIEL: You're not the
first guy to think I'm gay.

NATE: I wasn't ignoring you.

I'm usually very
good at telling.

Well, you've put
yourself out there.

It takes balls and I could
learn a thing or two from you.

Hmm.

Does Mr. Bergeron carry a
little torch for someone?

Nope.

Really.

No one?

No.

Nobody?

Aw, come on.

You can tell me.

She's a designer. Kate.

She was working here
before you arrived

and she's
talented but humble.

She has no idea how
beautiful she is.

She's the opposite
of everyone here.

And, um, I
don't know.

I just can't stop
thinking about her.

It sounds too
good to be true.

Yup.

Y'know, I've
been burned before.

She doesn't really
look interested anyway.

She is...
I wager.

You simply
must find out.

I'm dying of
curiosity.

Yeah, you're right.

*

What, um, are you calling
her right at this moment?

Yeah.

You're right.

I'll-I'll give
it one more try.

You know, I-I just...
I left something...

I'm just gonna
give you privacy.

Okay?

(phone ringing)

KATE: Daniel?

Hi.

Hey, I was just, um,
thinking about you.

Yeah.

I've been, I've-I've been
working at this vintage shop

called After The Ball and we
just got this A stilettos in,

and I was like, they're not Cs.

You should, um,
you should come by.

Yeah, sure.

(through phone)
Seriously, drop by any time.

Okay.

(through phone) Okay.

Okay, bye.

(sigh)

Yes, I...you know...

(mumbling)

*

Yes!

(dancing and singing)

Why is he so happy?

So how did it go?

Thanks, I mean,
you-you were right.

She-she invited me
to stop by her work.

So, um, I'm
knocking off early.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

No, no, no.

You're-you're going right now?

Yeah.

Wait, oh you can't.

Why?

Um, oh gosh, look
at, look at the roads.

There's traffic just...

Wish me
luck, buddy.

*

*

(trying to whistle)

Halt.

A man is just about to
come out and get in this cab.

It is very important that, um,

you don't take him
on expressways.

He has a real, uh, dizziness
problem on expressways.

*

DANIEL: Oh, man.

Sounds like you
want me to delay him, uh?

Uh?

Ohh.

60 bucks.

Yeah.

*

Vintage clothes?

Like old clothes
worn by other people.

Ew, I need a shower.

*

(singing)

Why are you singing that?

Oh, because-because
we're spies-- we're spying.

*

SIMONE: Is that Daniel?

Daniel drives a cab.

No, getting
out of the cab.

Yeah.

Getting out.

SIMONE: ...the same place.

Maybe they're working together.

Or maybe they're
having an affair.

*

(knocking)

*

(sighing)

Okay.

(knocking)

Hey.

You came?

Wow!

You look great.

You've got something...

Oh, yeah.

It's, uh, a cheek cleanser.

Um, come in.

SIMONE: Kate lives here too.

TANNIS: Of course.

Daniel and Kate
are the spies

leaking Kassell
designs, Simone.

Phew.

Solved.

I just solved it.

It's us, dummy.

Us.

We're leaking
the designs.

Mm hmm.

Do you remember...?

Mm hmm.

Yeah, no I just... that...
you make a good point.

*

KATE: I'm quite impressed.

I didn't take you for a
chocolate connoisseur.

There's a world of things
you don't know about me.

(laughing)

A world of manly
things you don't know.

Hmm.

I tried to call you a
couple times since you left.

I tried.

I didn't succeed.

Why not?

Um, I don't know.

I'm a little bit out of
practice and an idiot.

Hmm.

Well, don't let
that stop you.

Hah.

It's not easy for me
asking out the boss's daughter.

Well, we're out
right now, aren't we?

It's not the same.

I didn't ask
and you know.

Okay, well ask me.

Where do you wanna
go? Anywhere.

I promise I'll say yes.

No matter where?

Mm hmm.

You name it.

*

(awkward laugh)

Do you want to go to the
Fashion Week Ball with me?

Oh my God.

I... yes, yes.

Of course, I'll
go with you.

It took a long time.

You're sure.

Yes, yes. I
would love to.

Okay, good.

Okay?

Okay.

TANNIS: Hello.

I'm calling about Nate Ganymede.

We have just hired him
here at Kassell Designs

and I was just wondering, did
he work well with others?

Really.

Team player.

Employee of the month.

What month?

(sigh)

(phone ringing)

*

Versace.

Sergio, (yelling in Italian).

I'm sorry I do not
speak foreign.

Bonjourno.

Gucci.

Come va?

Bonjour.

Chanel.

Dolce Gabbanna.

(sigh)

I'm telling you
this for nothing.

If he had worked
here another month

he would have discovered
the cure for cancer.

Everybody loves Nate.

I think I might be
starting to love Nate.

We are so
screwed, Simone.

Don't worry.

We'll figure it out.

*

This is it.

Are you nervous?

Oh, I may faint.

NATE: This is good, right.

I mean, it looks good.

Elise, let's uh, set Nate up
with press for the trades.

Is it worth it
for a dress?

No, but they want to talk to the
designer of the new fall line.

This early fall?

LEE: Mm hmm.

Oh geez.

ELISE: What about
Tannis and Simone's line,

Touch of Glam?

No, no, no, we're
not going to do that.

NATE: I'll need
somewhere private to work.

LEE: Don't worry about that.

LEE: Well, it's a little late to
turn back the orders from China.

Well, why not
do it in-house?

Put those dusty machines to use.

Excellent idea.

That's a big risk.

Ah, Colin, I hope
you washed your hands?

You know I don't carry
germs unless I can accessorize.

(laughing)

Well, Lee, it looks
like you have a hit.

We'll see how the
numbers add up, Colin.

COLIN: Please keep
my offer in mind.

Kassel Frost has a
nice ring to it.

Like breaking glass.

By way this is my
new designer, Nate.

Nate, Colin.

Oh, well you've always
had an eye for talent.

Oh, look
at the time.

I have an 11
o'clock with the Pope.

His new hat.

(laugh)

He is funny.
I'll give him that.

I wonder what the
hell he's doing here.

Who cares?

I have the perfect
place for you to work.

*

A runner?

How could you
let this happen?

This is a serious setback.

Just play your part.

Let me worry about
bringing Kassell down.

Who was that... Nate?

I don't know him.

I know everyone.

ELISE: Relax.

Nate has convinced Lee to
produce his line in-house.

It is so risky that
even one slip up

and we are back on the shopping
block cheaper than ever.

That is the moment to close
the deal once and for all.

Woo.

COLIN: Wait, wait, wait.

This Nate has his own line.

Don't worry.

It will be useless
if you have it first.

I love the way you say useless.

The moment's over.

So here we are.

Every piece
we ever made.

We have one copy here
including the first

and I was the only
one with the key.

Ah!

Amanda and I did
something right at Kassell.

Once upon a time.

But then she passed

and I haven't been
able to find it since.

But maybe you can.

Here I want to
show you something.

It was 1989 in London.

I was at a party.

A really rather
dull party

and then I saw her
standing in the doorway.

She was wearing
this skirt

and cherry red
Doc Marten boots.

So tough but pretty
at the same time.

I'd never seen anything like it.

So I knocked off
the skirt and I,

and I married
the woman.

(sigh)

Even now, there's not
a day that goes by

that I don't
think about her.

Do you know that my
daughter is just like her?

Almost exact and
lives, breathes fashion.

Of course, I was hoping

that she'd take
over the business.

Really?

Yeah but
she hates me.

Deep down I think
it's probably my fault.

Are you close with your father?

Yes.

Yes, I am.

The fact is every
time I saw Kate,

I saw her mother and
I couldn't stand it,

so I pushed her away,

But I wish I could
make it right.

Maybe you can.

It's complicated.

Anyway, let's talk
of other things.

Yes.

(sniff)

Are you all right?

Yeah, it's just, uh;
it's a very moving story.

Oh, well.

But it's all yours.

Perfect.

I'm expecting great
things from you Nate.

*

*

NATE: Right, right.

Nate!

What a great sight.

Ha!

Making our own clothes again.

Monday trades are going to read

"Kassell brings
production back home."

NATE: Just lovely, isn't it.

It swells the heart.

Yes, it does.

It certainly does.

Of course, it also
swells our expenses.

Let's hope your idea pays off.

Of course it will.

LEE: Bravo, gentlemen.

(clapping)

Of course it will.

Can you see
anything?

No.

Can you?

No.

LEE: What're you doing?

Nate is totally
hogging the archive.

Can you speak
to him please?

(knocking)

(clears throat)

Nate

Yes?

Well, may I come in?

Yes, please.

Oh.

Shoo, shoo, shoo.

These are very preliminary

but I think that you
get the sense of it.

Oh.

What do you call it?

"Girls Will Be Boys."

Fantastic.

I have an idea.

We're gonna
create some buzz.

We'll drop the name at
the Fashion Ball tonight.

Oh, you're just going to have
such a great time doing that.

It will be when you
introduce it to the press.

Oh, um, no.

I'm not going.

Did you say
you're not going?

Yeah, I can't, I can't make it.

You realize you
have an interview

with Women's
Wear Weekly.

The girls told you
that, did they not?

Yes.

Well, no.

They... I didn't
really hear that.

Hear them saying that.

Well then let me
explain something to you.

That interview sets up
the whole year for Kassell.

It is a tradition
and it is key.

Let me repeat.

Key for our marketing.

Lee, listen.

I would, oh, I would
really love to but I just...

y'know I'm just in
over my head here.

I...

Nate, you're the new
designer for Kassell.

It's not a negotiation.

You're going.

Oh!

LEE: Go.

TANNIS: What? It's not like...

*

Nothing.

Nate takes
his sketchbooks

home with him at night.

Whoa.

Forget sketches.

My Colin is going
to need design files

if we're going to get a
jump on production.

ELISE: Oh, there it is.

The Early Fall Line.

This is even better
than how we got Kate.

Way better.

Oh, this is our
ticket to better, girls.

Oh.

To bigger and better things.

Well, I have a lot more if
none of these work for you.

Please stop, Bella.

You don't understand.

Eventually, one
will speak to you.

Wait.

He wants me to do press
and pictures as Nate.

*

We have a winner.

Okay.

That's pretty amazing.

You'll look gorgeous. I have
just the thing. Hang on.

No.

Bella, I can't.

RICHARD: Can't?

Can't.

Buttercup, have
you learned nothing.

If you think you can't do
it, then you can't do it.

But what if you
believe you can,

and you arrive as Nate and you
do your best version of me

and you answer wild
and witty questions.

Oh yeah, and then-then
you-you-you whisk off

and you are Kate and then it's,

"I'm just a girl standing
in front of a boy,"

and you steal his
heart and you dance.

(humming)

Honey, I used to do
five changes a show.

RICHARD: You can do one.

Sounds easy when he says it.

He always does.

Ohhh.

RICHARD: Wait... this is mine.

It's gorgeous, Bella
but I'm arriving as Nate.

I won't need a coat.

What about
the ride home?

Hmm, hmm, hmm.

Look.

(humming)

*

*

Nate.

Well, how about that?

Oh, it's
marvellous.

Isn't it.

Come with me.

Now, listen.

There's gonna be lots
of people you know

and those you don't know
I'm going to introduce you.

By the way,
Ron is here.

Who?

Ron Sakamoto.

From Zoom.

You apprenticed with him.

Ohhh.

Ron.

Yes, yes, of course.

The Ronster.

I'm just gonna
run to the loo.

Uh, I've got
to freshen up.

All right, hurry up
and comb your hair.

I want this interview
over so I can zip outta here.

Mmm.

I think you have to
wait to be called.

Why so glum, chum?

DANIEL: Nothing.

I've been stood up, I think.

No, no, no.

I'm sure you haven't.

I'm certain of it. You know...

She's probably just
running behind schedule.

Yeah.

I'm sure he's...

I'm sure you're right.

(phone buzzes)

Um, you know, excuse me.

I gotta...I gotta take
this. I'll be back.

Come on, Kate.

Pick up.

You haven't lost your prized
show dog already have you, Lee?

You should keep him
on a short leash.

Colin, you annoy
me. Go away.

(laughing)

I was afraid you
changed your mind.

No, just got dressed
about 50 billion times.

COLIN: Nate!

Gotta go.

Ganymede.

NATE: Oh, Mr. Frost.

COLIN: Colin, please.

I am a big fan of your work.

Wish I could
say the same.

(laughing)

Look who's getting
cozy with the enemy.

Aren't you a
glass of sass?

Ho, ho, ho.

RON: Are you worried your
prize designer will jump ship?

Don't worry, Ron.

I won't make the
same mistake you did

by letting talent slip
through my fingers.

I've never heard of
him before your runner.

Nate didn't work at Zoom?

Did he say
that he did?

I'll call HR.

Why don't you
come work for me?

You're young.

You should be
with a winner.

I prefer to work somewhere
with a little bit of legacy.

Nothing lasts
forever.

(laughing)

Glare away.

Okay.

Ha, ha, huh.

*

*

Ugh.

*

*

*

Hi.

Wow.

I'm sorry that
I was late.

It's okay.

Um, I want to dance with you.

Okay.

KATE: So formal.

DANIEL: (laugh) Trying.

*

*

Look at you.

*

DANIEL: Barely
recognize you.

You're all coordinated.

Shut up.

KATE: You're not so bad.

Mm hmm.

Mm hmm.

LEE: Excuse me.

Kate?

Dad?

What... I didn't
expect to see you here.

I'm with Daniel.

Oh.

Yes. Hello, Daniel.

Ah well, uh, Daniel
have you seen Nate?

Uh, yeah.

He's around
somewhere.

Uh, he's got a very
important press interview.

I can't seem to find him.

Anyway... well,
enjoy yourselves.

Uh, will you excuse
me for a second?

You okay?

Yeah, yeah.
I'm fine.

I'll be back
in one minute.

*

Hello.

Oh, you're going to
mess up my lipstick.

Are you always
this pushy?

Only when I want
something this badly.

How would you like
Nate's entire fall line?

COLIN: Oh, you
wicked, wicked girl.

ELISE: I think it's time
to finalize deal points.

You'll have papers
ready for Kassell.

Mm hmm.

And for me as...

Full partner in
every sense.

And my daughters?

COLIN: Huh, fine.

Bring Nate with you.

ELISE: Mm.

Well, I can't promise
that he'll come.

Where else is
he gonna go?

(laughing)

(clunk)

COLIN: What was that?

Hello?

*

Hmm.

Something must have tipped.

Let's go.

All right.

You go first.

Go on.

(heavy breathing)

I knew it.

*

Lee!

Lee, come here.

Get down here.

I think you are right
to worry about Nate.

Just got off the
phone with Angela at Dior.

Never heard of him.

What?

ELISE: Yes and then
Stan called me back.

He's not
registered with us.

There's no
personal information.

We're not even
paying him.

How can this be?

ELISE: I told you no to...

I've been thinking.

This Nate Ganymede
is a real find.

Where did he come from?

I don't know.

Well, his new fall line
up is absolutely stunning.

How do you know
about the fall line-up?

Oops.

(laughing)

Oh, honey.

I'm so sorry.

That little bastard.

Nate!

Lee. I have to tell
you something.

Too late. I
know everything.

I need to speak
with you in private.

I know that you lied
about your training.

I know that you lied
about your experience.

There is no Nate Ganymede.

None of that matters anymore.

It doesn't matter?

How dare you?

You've been working for
Colin Frost all along.

This is all Elise.

She's the one
conspiring with Colin.

That is your
defense?

Stop.

Stop.

Both of you stop.

We're taking Colin's
offer. Enough.

You cannot sell Kassell.

He has our full line.

Kassell's finished.

You, you're quite the actor.

You had me believing that
Kassell could be great again.

ELISE: Oh, honey...
I am so sorry.

*

(grunting and sobbing)

(crying)

(crying)

*

TANNIS: Oh no you
don't, boyfriend.

DANIEL: Sorry.

*

*

(heavy breathing and sobbing)

KATE: Ah!

*

Ow.

Kate!

*

DANIEL: Kate?

*

Kate!

*

*

BELLA: Hey.

What's wrong,
sweetheart?

(sniffling)

KATE: They're showing my line.

The one you saw
Elise give to Colin

last night in the
storage room.

Damn.

Bloody,
thieving spies.

*

Oh my God.

Spies.

Spyware.

Yes, there's spies.

*

Kassell Clothing.

For not much longer.
Maurice speaking.

Yes.

Hello, Maurice.

It's Nate.

*

I need your help
with something.

Security is just
insane around here today.

Right.

After The Ball.

Okay.

I'm on my way.

Where's the computer?

It's just in
the back.

Oh, hi Daniel.

Um, I didn't see
you leave last night.

Oh, uh, yeah.

I love the grand entrances but
I prefer to slip out unnoticed.

Um, I need your
help with something.

Y'know, Daniel. I'm kinda
in the middle of something.

It won't take
a moment.

DANIEL: Please sit.

Maybe I...

Sit down.

I'm experimenting with
the feeling of a shoe.

So don't look, okay?

All right.

All right.

I won't look.

I don't want you
influenced by

how you think it's
going to feel.

*

Perfect fit.

Stand up.

How does it feel?

Yeah, it's okay.

Uh, a little tight
in the toe perhaps.

Mmm.

Good for a night out but
not a hike in the woods.

Precisely.

Daniel!

I... I, you know I
haven't shaved and...

I thought you were into
girls...one particular...

Kate.

Hi.

MAURICE: What the...?

Daniel?

Hmm.

That's ridiculous.

No, Maurice.

It's Kate.

It's Kate.

Kate?

You know,

you're the first woman
I've been attracted to

since Hilary Swank.

I'm sorry I
lied to you.

Hey.

Oh.

Here we are.

Last night.

Elise!

*

Ow.

I don't see
anyone. Do you?

Yeah.

The two of us.

This changes
everything.

Lee has to see this before he
signs the merger papers today.

In half an hour.

Show him right now.

KATE: Wait.

He won't
talk to Nate.

Yeah but this
is important.

What would I say? I mean,
he doesn't believe me.

Either one of me.

Just because you
assumed a fake identity

and have been
living a double life?

Put the video
online and call him.

How will we know that
he's actually seen it?

No, we need to
physically show it to him.

He needs to know
that Elise is why

my designs were
leaked and it wasn't Nate.

I mean me.

Except those
weren't your designs.

Maurice, I saw Elise
hand over a drive.

Frost Apparel is doing the
preview at the press conference.

No one's touched your work.

They have the decoy; Alien Chic.

(laughing)

(phone ringing)

I know.

(phone ringing)

Yes, hi.

It's Nate
Ganymede speaking.

(through phone) Nate,
this is Tannis.

I am calling to tell you that
Lee is selling the company.

I doubt that's why you're
actually calling me

and I'm kind of in the
middle of something, girls.

*

Hello, Nate.

Hello, Kate.

Huh, I have to admit I
never imagined you two

would figure
this out.

Well, we did
and you aren't.

Right.

Well, good for you.

I'm actually....

Don't you want to
know what we want?

Want?

SIMONE: To stop us
revealing to Lee

that his daughter
is actually a boy.

Uh, okay,
yeah sure.

What do you want?

Well, Nate has to ensure that we
become head designers at Frost.

How could I do that?

By turning down the job
when Colin offers it to you.

Publicly.

At the press
conference.

Yeah and recommending us and
saying that we're awesome.

Yeah, cause
we are.

TANNIS: Cause we are.

Nate can't get into
the press conference.

(laugh)

Don't worry.

We can get you in.

*

Did you make
samples of Alien Chic?

Yes.

It keeps me
up at night.

*

SIMONE:
Where's he going?

To get the fall line designs
for the press conference.

Let's go.

*

*

SIMONE: You gonna
change into Nate?

Or do you need
a phonebook?

It's a phone-
phone booth.

I need Maurice.

*

KATE: Finally.

All right. I'll
be quick.

I'm getting pretty
good at this.

Wait. What are those?

It's Nate's fall
line designs.

There are samples?

Just two.

I've gotta be quick to
make the announcement.

No, no, no.

You're not gonna wear them.

We should wear them.

We'll wear them.

We're gonna
wear those.

Why would you
wear those?

But I...

Don't try and take all
the credit, Kate.

We're smarter
than that.

Give those
to me.

Excuse me.

We will
wear them.

Okay.

(laughing)

Shh.

Help me. Help me.

Okay, here.

The fourth largest apparel
concern in North America.

(applause)

I'd now like to invite Lee
Kassell to say a few words.

Mmm.

(applause)

Yeah. How many?
'Kay, coming.

I built Kassell to last.

When my first
wife, Amanda died...

Stop.

ELISE: How'd you get in here?

I need you to know,
Colin, before you sign

that I have no intention
of joining you at Frost.

What the hell...?

Furthermore, I
recommend Kassell's power duo,

Tannis and Simone
are far better

to head the Frost
design department.

They are awesome.

*

(laughing)

Don't laugh,
peasants.

This is the
new fall line.

That is not the new fall line.

I dunno what the
hell is going on here

but that is not the
new fall line.

It isn't?

NATE: No.

It isn't but
Elise thought it was.

Security!

Please escort
this man out.

Maurice, the video.

Get out of my way!

*

Don't!

Don't!

Don't touch me!

My Colin is gonna
have to have design files

if we're gonna get a
jump on production.

Oh, there it is.

The early fall line.

This is even better
than how we got Kate.

You should really
consider bangs.

It would be
really cute.

This is our ticket
to better, girls.

You would turn me
against my own daughter?

Lee, no.

Lee, you misunderstand.

Just stop.

You've hurt my dad
long enough, Elise.

ELISE: Oh my God.

Is that you, Katie?

Only my mother called me Katie.

The name is Kate.

Ohhh!

Kate?

ELISE: Oh.

We figured that
out already.

Like a long
time ago.

ELISE: It all makes sense.

You see, Katie the traitor
came back as Nate the traitor.

That's-that's what happened.

I would stop
talking unless

you want us to play
the next video?

A little number I like to
call "Storage Room with Colin."

What?

ELISE: I-I...

It was me that
you heard in there.

Remember.

You wicked, wicked girl.

No, it's not true.

It's not true.

Maurice, the video.

Wait!

Stop.

Elise.

I think it's time for these two
gentlemen to escort you out.

Goodbye.

You'll regret it.

*

COLIN: My God.

I've ordered 10,000
units of that monstrosity.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Frost's new fall line.

(laughing)

No.

COLIN: Go you half-wit,
moronic baboons.

Go!

Move, you
bobbleheads from hell!

Just move!

Kate.

I'm so sorry.

Can you ever
forgive me?

I wish Mom
were here.

I think she is.

I know she is.

(clears throat)

Ladies and gentlemen.

I present to you
Kassell's fall line.

KATE: "Girls Will Be Boys."

*

(applause)

Bravo!

*

*

Maurice, this is Jennifer.

She's thinking of joining
us here at Kassel.

Hi.

Hi.

Thank you.

Mm hmm.

If he ever asks you out dancing,
make sure you pick the club.

Oh my God.

Is that Daniel
Bergeron?

His shoes are
to die for.

Not just his shoes.

Hi.

Hey.

*

LEE: Kate!

Come see.

(chuckling)

Hey, dad.

Here's the creator
of our new runner.

(applause)

Not a runner yet.

Let's wait until
it's in stores.

No.

So what do you think?

Oh, I
couldn't say.

I just say what I
think and regret it later.

I think it's beautiful.

And...

Um, I would
maybe add a trim.

Why not?

Yeah.

Yeah, good idea.

What'd you think?

Why not?

Embellish the
lace line?

Yeah.

LEE: We could embellish...

*

* I can't stand the heat when
you're next to me. *

*

* No one said that this is
how it would feel. *

*

*

*

*

*

*

*

*

*

*

*

ELISE: Colin, I want you to
know that we will be happy

to do whatever it takes
to help Frost recover.

Oh, I think I found
the perfect job for you.

COLIN: This room hasn't
been sorted in years.

Enjoy.

TANIS: Buttons!
