Previously on
lipstick jungle...

I keep going over and over
the conversations

trying to figure out
what signals I gave him.

You didn't do
anything wrong.

There's this charity event,

Saturday,
in central park.

You want to go
with me?

Aren't I still the guy

who filed for sexual
harassment at bonfire?

No.

You're the editor-in-chief's
boyfriend.

I just want to know

if you think
she would be open

to a second chance.

Joe, you've built
your fortune taking risks.

I think this one
is worth taking.

What do you think?

I think if I made
a quick dash for the door,

I could retire comfortably
in The Bahamas.

Hey, Dennis.
How are you?

Good. Good.

Uh, look, I want to apologize
for the other night again.

I'm sorry.
Please.

It never happened.

Kirby, nothing about you
embarrasses me.

You are the hardest-working,

most decent--
stop.

Save the speech
for my mom.

What?

She's coming into town
next week.

Most importantly,
there's one very special guy

who I wouldn't be
standing up here without.

So, Rodrigo,

can you please
come up here?

Jeez, my hand
is cramping.

It might be easier
if you just dot your "i"s

instead of all
those little hearts.

They are not hearts.
Your pen is leaky.

How come your boss hasn't
called me, by the way?

He does have other
businesses, Princess.

Yeah, I know,

but I'm getting
baskets of fancy jam

from complete strangers.

He could call and
say "nice job."

He is a man
of few words.

And he doesn't
like jam.

Hey, honey, do you
have this in a 10?

Uh-huh.
Yeah, but why?

Are you planning on hiding
Kirby under it?

Try the four.

No, I don't want to wear
anything tight.

I haven't met
a boyfriend's mother

since I was dating Charles.

Well, stop it.
She's gonna love you.

Try the four.

Missed one.

Well, please tell Mr. Awol that
I need an answer about Friday.

What's Friday?

Nico's having
that launch party

for the new
sports magazine,

and Anna kanatova
will be there.

Ballerina?
She's a tennis player

and she's got
this new licensing deal

that I'm up for,
if I can win her over.

Which would be a lot easier
if Joe was there.

I'm as tennis-illiterate
as you are.

I will check his schedule.
My leaky pen, please?

Vic, what do you
think of this?

Yeah, that'll
impress her,

if she was a librarian
at a women's prison.

How did you even put
this look together

with my clothes?

I need your help.
I'm trying to de-cougar-ize.

Well, you need to stop
over-thinking this, honey.

Just dress like
you always do.

You always look great.

What are you and mother atwood
going to be doing?

Well, I made
a reservation at megu.

Really?

If you want to get in
with her midwestern graces,

you should skip
the raw sea urchin

and go for
a home-cooked meal.

Emphasis on the cooked.

You're right.
Megu's way over the top.

You and Rodrigo--
no more Rodrigo.

What?
What about the whole,

you know,
after the show?

Yeah, that was
my adrenaline talking.

Reality crashed in
about an hour later.

Wait, you and Rodrigo
are not--

don't rub it in.

Just chalk it up
to one more

big, fat,
romantic failure.

I love the break-up scene.

The flashbacks are
much better.

And, um,
it's just good, Cassidy.

Really well delineated.

I've got one note
on act two, though--

I'll e-mail you.

Hey.

Where have you been?

I have just had
an interesting lunch

at the four seasons.

Midtown?

You get nose bleeds
above 14th street.

I, uh--
I met with a manager.

Josie scotto.

Oh.
Don't know her.

I didn't realize
you were looking.

Why don't you
let me call Ian?

Mm. Don't need to make
any calls, darling.

Josie is hungry.

She is keen on keeping
her client list small.

And, um--

I like the fact
she came after me.

Who does she work for?

At the moment?
Herself.

Herself.
She's very pro-active.

Middle of lunch,
she calls up

this big indie
film producer,

Ted rubin--

rabin, Ted rabin.
He's good.

So, she says to him,

"I'm sitting here
with the composer

for your Irish movie."

She'd already
sent him my cd.

She booked me the job
on the spot.

Wow.

Well, maybe you should
sign with her.

I did.

Oh. Wow.

That's fast.

You seem underjoyed.

No.

No, there's
a lot of joy here.

It's--
it's just a manager--

it's a big decision
to make alone.

Wendy, I'm trusting
my instincts here.

And I'm fairly certain
you'll feel the same way.

She sounds great.

I'm looking forward
to meeting her.

You will.
Tonight.

She wants to take us
to dinner to celebrate.

I think Ted's gonna
be there as well.

You up for it?
Sure.

Well, then--
well--

I think I'm gonna go and do
a little bit of homework

before this dinner.

What was her name again?
Josie what?

Scotto.

I think the cucumber's
dead already.

You sure she likes feta?

Baby, relax.

She's a real estate agent,
not a food critic.

My mom is
totally casual.

Are you saying
that I'm overdressed?

Always.
Let me help.

No, honey,
I have to do this.

No, I can't do this now.

Kirby, let me get
the swordfish.

I can't do this.

Yes, you can.
No, I can't.

All right, zip me.
Zip me now!

All right, I'll do it.
I'll do it.

Why didn't they call up?

Hi.

Mrs. Atwood?

Oh, Tina, please.
I'm so glad to meet you.

Thank you.

My baby boy.
Mmm!

You look great.

Thanks.

Let me take your coat.

I hope I'm not
too early.

Oh, no.
No, not at all.

How was your flight?

It was cramped.

Whoa.
This is something.

You could play contact sports
in this living room.

Don't tell me,
you already have.

What is that
I'm smelling?

Oh, Nico cooked for us.

Really?

In that outfit?

I'm impressed.

Love the shoes.

Thanks.

read my lips

be

all that you can be

make a difference

give your dreams to me

no time for sleeping

there's too much to do

don't you forget that

we do what
we want to do

let's get nuts,
let's make some money

ooh

take your shirt off, honey,
let's freak out

ooh, ooh,
you'll be sorry, Charlie

read my lips

bone China.
Big changes, kiddo.

What happened to eating
out of take-out cartons?

Beautiful collection.

Oh, it was a gift from...
My mother-in-law.

Nice.

My mother-in-law
gave me a broken TV

and shingles,
but that's another story.

How do you ever go
home to your hovel

after spending time here?

I don't...Much.

Honey, we put
champagne in ice.

We don't put ice
in the champagne.

Yeah, the ice cubes are
made of champagne, mom.

We had it at the club and now
I make it here all the time.

But I have juice

in the fridge,
if you prefer?

No, this sounds delicious.
Champagne ice cubes.

Fancy. And I thought
I was living high

when grand rapids got
a drive-through coffee bar.

So Tina, tell me,
is there anything special

that you want to do
on this trip?

I could get tickets

to the Salvador dali show
at moma or--

I'm more intrigued
by clubbing.

Where do you two
like to go?

Um...

Why don't tell her
about swap-a-palooza, babe?

Well, I, um--

i don't know how
to describe it exactly.

Um, it's--
it's like strip poker

with musical chairs,
but without the poker.

Yeah, so, a once in
a lifetime experience.

Literally, it was

and will be
the only time.

What are you talking about?
You loved it.

Are we listening
to Annie Lennox?

Is that her?

Mm. It sounds like her,
but I'm not sure who it is.

God, I used to love
Annie Lennox.

I remember her
first solo show.

I was here in New York
visiting my college roommate,

and we begged, borrowed,
and stole for those tickets.

I think that was
actually my first concert.

Really?
At the roxy?

That's wild.

You two could have
been standing

next to each other
waving your cell phones.

Tell him we used to use
lighters back then.

Right after
we invented fire.

I think I'm gonna check
on the swordfish.

No, no, no.
You stay right there.

I'll check on the swordfish.
You two talk.

Oh, oh--
okay.

Look at him.

When I was here in January,
he couldn't even make jell-o.

Now he's checking swordfish

and turning champagne
into ice cubes.

Someone's
training him well.

Yeah.

So we are having our date

and we're going
to Lincoln center.

We're on the subway.

There's a M&M on
the empty seat beside him.

And without
missing a beat,

he picks it up
and eats it.

God.

That's disgusting.

That's what's out there. It's okay.

After years of feeling
suffocated in my marriage,

I'm happy to be free.

Wendy, have you been here?
No.

I just knew that
Shane would love it.

You know,
it's so merchant ivory.

Well, that's very kind,
but remind me

never to show you the pub
I grew up over. And in.

Did Shane tell you about the movie?

Yes, period piece.
Set in Ireland.

Belfast.

In the sixties.
Romeo and Juliet.

Catholic and
protestant families

at each other's throats.

A real stew of anger,
sex, whisky, poetry.

Which I saw in Shane
the second I met him.

Guilty as charged.

Wendy, um,

your husband is--
he's a major talent.

I know.

I've know that
for a long, long time.

Honey, how are you
doing in there?

Just a second.

So, was...

Your late husband
a cook, too?

Charles?
Um--

not--
not really.

I don't mean to
bring down the room,

but it was very sudden,
wasn't it?

You know what?
Can I get you a refill

or maybe I could
open some wine or--

no, I'm fine.

I think it's admirable

how quickly you turned
your life around.

I mean, most people
in your situation

would have just
stayed stuck.

But then again,
you had Kirby.

Yeah, yeah.
He was, uh--

he helped me
out a lot.

Oh, I know.

Before and after.

Before what?

Your husband's death.

I'm sorry.

Am I not supposed to know
about your history?

Too late.

My son tells me everything.

Yeah, but there are probably
some really important things

that he left out.

Nico, look, I think
you're very sweet together.

I do.

I'm not here to try
to tell anybody

how to live their lives.

Yeah, well, I'm guessing

that you probably
weren't thrilled.

You know what, Tina,
it was a complicated situation.

But I do believe
that people come

into your life
for a reason.

Even if at the time--

honey, relax.
You had me at the shoes.

All right,
the fish is done.

I think we're
ready to Rumble.

Good.

It's been a bumpy ride.

I had to fire the editor
after two weeks.

The German money fell out.
The distributor bailed.

I'm sorry, are we
celebrating the same movie?

There's some good news, too.

You're the best thing that's
happened to us in months.

Told you.

You need an editor?

I've got the fastest
cutter in New York.

And don't wait to finish
the whole film to sell it.

Put together a trailer

and take it out to
some hedge-fund guys.

I can get you names.

Listen to her.

Tossing this stuff off
between bites of Risotto.

She's what we need, guys.
How do we get her on this film?

I can't be bought
with an entree.

Order a dessert.

I already have a project.

One project?
For you?

What are you
sleepwalking?

Shane, we want her on this.
She's better than me.

And she makes
her own decisions.

It's win-win
for you, Wendy.

It's your first indie credit

and your husband's genius
is all over it.

Shane, tell her
she has to do it.

Well, darling,

the gentleman wielding
a steak knife

is making a demand.

We can make it happen.

There's an energy at this table.
Am I right?

I feel it.

It's a love fest.

Fine.
I am in.

Wow.

I think we should start
with roan inish

because it's got that montage
in the beginning.

The beautiful flute,
remember that?

I haven't seen it.
Really?

Oh, then we'll definitely
start with that one.

Hmm. It's just getting
a bit late for me, darling.

Come on, grandpa,
what happened to the nights

that we used to stay in bed
and have our all-night--

shut up, mate!

Get off your cell phone!

Shane?

Hey, are you okay?

Look, honey, I don't have to
work on this film, okay?

I can call Ted right now and
tell him I changed my mind.

You should do it.
It's good for the film.

It's good for me.

I've got another project
to work on.

So, it's perfect.

You won't be
too wrapped up in this.

My mother was right.

You're a good
first husband.

Where's Lloyd?

Uh, 19th street.
The cops made him move.

You'll still make
cipriani by 8:30.

Okay, the short list
for your new jet's pilot

is down to three.

And victory asked me
to remind you about

the Anna kanatova meeting?

Have you returned any
of victory's calls?

Have you
returned the ring?

What are you
waiting for?

For her to come
to her senses.

Ellyn--
I know, I know.

I'm way out
of bounds here,

but when it's clear that
two people belong together,

I think that it's valuable
for a friend step in--

I didn't ask a friend
to return the ring.

I asked my assistant.

An assistant who has
arranged your dates

for the last 10 years

and broken up with
most of them for you,

but this one
is different.

I know it's different.
I'll do it myself.

I still can't believe
that you and my mom

were at the same concert,
dancing in the same mosh pit.

That is crazy.

But now that it's over,
I have to admit,

I was little bit nervous
about dinner tonight, too.

Which part made
you nervous?

Whether you two
would get along.

You know, you put
two strong, smart,

independent women
in the same room,

it could easily
turn into--

a mosh pit?

She liked you, though.
I mean, a lot.

When my mom isn't
into somebody,

it is very obvious.

She is no good
at hiding her feelings.

Yeah, well, I just wish
I knew something about her.

It was like she had
an encyclopedia on me.

And us.

What do you mean?

Well, like when
we first started dating

and the fact that I was
still married to Charles.

Look, my mom was in a bad
marriage, and she gets it.

Hell, my dad left when
I was still in the crib.

Look, all I'm saying is,
I just wish that it was

an even playing field,
that's all.

I'm sorry about that.

It's just always been
the two of us,

so I guess I'm used
to telling her everything.

But you know what?

What difference does it make
when or how we met?

We're together
now, right?

Yeah.

I'm feeling
kind of dirty.

How about
we take a shower?

You know what, there's
still stuff on the table.

Yeah, yeah,
but the dishes can wait.

I can't.

Well, you know what,
you're gonna have to.

I dug through
my old boxes

and I found
waking ned devine.

It's got a superb score.

Are you joking?
We were up half the night

watching every Irish movie
ever made, darling.

Please, no more.

Why not?

Darling, I don't like
to start a project

listening to
other people's music.

You see, because
if it's rubbish,

it gets in my head, okay?

And if it's good,
it just makes me anxious.

And if it's really good,
I get a little bit suicidal.

Yeah?
Okay.

Okay?
All right.

Don't get your knickers
in a twist, okay?

Besides I've already got
something in my head,

and it's sort of Celtic
and it's kind of haunting.

Like a harp?

Darling, I'm scoring
an explosive family drama,

not a mother's day brunch
at the Carlyle.

Okay, what were
you thinking?

What I'm thinking
is that my whiskers

are growing inward.

Now, please, can I
just finish this off?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Hey, I am sorry.

Okay, I'm sorry.

And on an empty
stomach, too.

Why were you guys up till 3:00
watching Irish movies?

I'm sorry.
Did we keep you up?

No, but I had a weird dream
about a homicidal leprechaun.

Oh, I must have slept
through that one.

I've signed on to produce
your dad's next project.

Pretty exciting, huh?
I'll go make coffee.

By the way, honey,
what's going on here?

Hmm?
Oh, I don't know.

I'm toying
with a mustache.

Josie wanted me to do
some p.R. Shots

and she thought
a little facial hair

might lend me
some distinction.

What do you think?

I think you're distinct.

Let Josie grow
her own mustache.

Right.

Listen to me, Lou.

You don't show your mug
at that party

tomorrow night
and thank our advertisers,

you're gonna lose
a helluva lot more money

than you can make
at a poker table.

He's the founder
of the magazine

and he's not even coming
to his own launch party?

What do you expect
from a guy

who thinks these should go
in the goody bag?

Fold your hand

and get your flabby ass
back to New York.

What?

He likes it rough.

Aren't you supposed to
wear a leather mask

when you talk
to people like that?

He's an ex-wrestler.

Yeah, but you sound
like the one on steroids.

What's up? What went down
with mother atwood?

Oh, I wouldn't
call her that.

What would you call her?

Sis.

What does that mean?

I don't know.
It's weird.

I mean,
there is something--

she and I are very--

not so different.

If we were both
in a police lineup,

I could do time
for her crime.

Don't laugh.
It's not funny.

Well, it kind of is.

Oh, yeah,
it's a riot.

I'm dating a guy

who subconsciously
wants to date his mother.

Maybe not.

Or maybe so.

How fast does he go
for the breast?

Listen, last night
was the first time

that Kirby and I
slept together.

No, no, just slept.

Whoa.

Well, do we get to
meet/judge

your evil twin?

Well, she's not evil.

She's actually kind of nice.

But there is something
that is-- Nico.

If she's nice, why are you
looking for problems?

You know, it's not
that weird, actually.

I read this article
in newsweek

that said that people are
attracted to other people

whose features are similar.

So in some ways,
we're all dating our cousins.

Ew.

It was in newsweek.

See, instead of having
lasting relationships,

I read articles about them.

So do you really want one?

Of course I do.

No one wants to be
speed-dating at 75.

Okay,

this isn't working.

It's just--I'm not gonna
get this job.

Honey, what's going on?

Why is this one meeting
so important?

A licensing deal where
I design tennis-wear

means cash flow,
and oddly,

the electric company doesn't
let you pay your bills

with a glowing review.

So does anyone
know anyone

who knows anything
about tennis

besides the missing
Joe Bennett?

Honey, you know what?

Don't worry about it.

There's a library
one floor down,

and there are tons
of sports magazines.

I'm sure that marva
can help you out.

Okay.
okay, bye-bye.

Now what?

You have to call Joe
right now.

Again? I am one phone call away
from a restraining order.

Again.

oh, I'm sorry.

I thought you were
working alone.

I am.
It's just Josie.

So you didn't hear
the delivery guy?

No, we've been immersed.

Well, this was ice cream.

So what are you
working on, huh?

The title sequence?
No, mostly motifs.

Josie brought over some
Dolores o'riordan vocals

from her next album,

and we might want
to sample them.

Sampling? Well,
it can get expensive.

I'm just putting on
my producer's hat.

Uh, Dolores is a client,
so we can get a rate.

Uh, the label's having
a listening party.

It is tomorrow night.

Shane and I were gonna go.
Why don't you come with?

Oh, well, we actually
already have plans.

Nico's launch party?

Oh, right.

Hello.

Shiver me timbers!
Arrggh!

Arrggh!
Arrggh, you!

Why are you dressed
like that?

Duh. Because I'm a pirate.

Hey, can Finn's parents take me
to the birthday party tomorrow?

Sure.

Shane, why don't you,
uh, call Dennis?

His dad doesn't
live there anymore.

Oh, god,
I didn't know that.

Did you know that,
darling?

No.

Uh, but, uh, maybe it would
be easier

if we
just dropped him off.

Well, hang on, if Nico's
party is in the city,

why do we want to
take Taylor to Brooklyn?

Because I don't want
all the other parents

to think that we're too busy
to go to Brooklyn.

I think you're over-thinking
that one,

if I put
my producer's hat on.

Taylor, you go
with your mate.

Yay!
Yay!

I'll call Dennis.

Great.

Yeah, well, that's it. That's
all I want to say to him.

I--

What are you doing here?

So you're not returning
my phone calls either.

I don't need any more
of your "insider tips."

Joe, I didn't
give you bad advice.

I didn't know
about Rodrigo.

But the fact is, victory
isn't seeing him anymore.

They're done.

And so are we.

No, we're not.

You can't walk away
from something this big

because of bad timing.

Timing?

Do you know
how many times in my life

I've bought a business

that I wasn't
absolutely certain

was gonna make a profit?

Once.

I wasn't looking to buy
a clothing company.

I didn't want to buy
a clothing company.

What I wanted--

It doesn't matter
what I wanted.

I have gambled enough
on victory Ford.

The fact is, you're still
her business partner.

She needs you
to land this tennis deal.

The least you could do
is show up.

Taylor honey,
Finn's here.

I'm making my card, mom.

Taylor, please, hurry up.

I'm coming.

Hey, Dennis.
Hey, Finn.

Come on in.
Hey.

We were just
getting ready to go out.

Is it a pajama party?

No, not quite.

Oh, uh,
this is for you.

Oh, wow. You didn't
have to do that.

Nah, it's just
a peace offering.

Yeah.

Real Australian,
you know.

It's not bottled
in mineola.

It sounds great.

Sure you don't want
to save it for yourself?

Nah, nah, i'm, uh--

I'm living in two rooms now

and Kate's got
the wineglasses, so--

besides, drinking alone
isn't my idea

of a rocking good time.

Darling, did you pick up
my John Varvatos shirt?

Oh.

Oh, hello, Dennis.

Shane, how's it going?

Yeah, fine.

Sorry to hear
about you and Kate.

Your shirt's right in the middle there, okay?

Boys, you're gonna
be late.

Uh, any help
you need with Finn,

just let us know,
and the same goes for you too.

If you fancy
a little home cooking,

you just pop by, okay?

Wendy's taken up
torturing chickens.

Now, what do we got here?

Um, uh, that was
a thank you for, uh,

for Halloween.

For making the costumes.

You made costumes?

Well, I de-coutured them
and Dennis helped.

Guys, gotta go.
Double parked.

Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah.
Go, go, go, mate.

'Cause they'll give you
a ticket in about 30 seconds.

I'll bring the boys down
to you.

Thanks.

Poor bloke.

Looks like she really
broke his heart.

Boys, come on.
Chop, chop, chop, chop, chop.

All right, now it's my turn.
Now it's my turn.

Now bring the preseason,
now bring the preseason.

Keep your eye on the--

now look, I happen to be
distracted, mates.

This is a rugby ball
in england, see?

And what you do is,
you pass it down the line.

Don't look
at the girls, okay?

Just through the hole.

You have a go then.
All right, watch.

Left foot forward.

Hard court or soft court?
What's the difference?

I would think the surface.

Oh, there she is.

Nico!

Wendy, I'm over here.

Well--wow.

There's a woman
over there--

yeah, that
would be Tina.

Wow, you weren't kidding.

Man, if she's pushing 50,
50 is afraid to push back.

Is that my dress?

Yeah, I loaned it
to her.

So I could make sure

that we wouldn't show up
in the same thing.

Come on,
I'll introduce you.

Oh, welcome
to the NBA, buddy.

You need a stepladder?

You need some help
with that there, huh?

A little David
and Goliath.

Tina.

You're missing
our boy in action.

He's mopping the court
with a New York knick.

I want to introduce you
to my closest friends.

Wendy, victory.

I've heard your names
from Kirby.

He neglected to tell me
how stunning you both are.

Aw!

Then again, he is wrapped up
in one person, isn't he?

Well, you know, you meet
someone like Nico,

it's hard
not to be enamored.

I think the word
is bewitched.

Well, I'll try to use
my powers for good, not evil.

Well, sometimes it's hard
to tell the difference.

Let me get another mojito.

Would you like to join me?

Maybe in a minute, thanks.

Okay, so I'm not
losing my mind, right?

There is something off.

"Our boy," "bewitched"?

She's gunning for me.

You don't know that.

But just in case,
will you get the dress back

before you throw her
off the roof?

I don't want bloodstains.

Did not hear any cheering
coming from this section.

Did you
see that last basket?

I haven't missed a thing.

I feel bad for Dennis.

What?

Well, I gathered
his marriage was a bit dodgy

from some of the things
he'd said on the soccer field,

but I don't know,

I wouldn't have thought
they would split up.

Yeah, well,
you never really know

what's going on
with people, huh?

Yeah.

Hey, so when do I get to hear
what you're working on?

Off the clock, darling.

How often do we get
the chance to dance

without being mocked
by a 15-year-old?

Yeah, well,
there are some benefits

to having
an in-house producer.

Well, you'll hear it when
it goes to all the producers.

I want to work in
Josie's notes first.

You played it
for Josie already?

Yeah, she's my manager.

I'm your wife.

No, you're my producer.

Or we'd still be dancing.

Oh, I appreciate it.

You throw a great party.

Thank you.

You've given my son entree

into a very exciting world.

I just hope he doesn't
get too used to it.

Why shouldn't he?

Come on, Nico,
let's be honest.

Nobody wants
to see their son

treated like a dress that
you wear a few times,

then toss to the back
of the closet.

Why do you think
that's who I am?

Honey, I know your type.

I am your type.

It's lovely to be adored,

but you're not
thinking long-term

and unfortunately,
my son is.

I don't want
to see you hurt him again.

Tina.

Do you see yourself
marrying Kirby?

All right, you know what?

I think this is getting
a little too personal.

Oh, well, have a kid and
you'll know what's personal.

I mean, have you even
discussed children?

Well, I think
it's a little premature

for us to be talking
about children.

Maybe for him.
He's got time. You don't.

I mean, you have to
face the facts.

Tick-tock, chicken.

Your eggs are not getting
any fresher.

What's going on?

What are we talking about?

Mojitos.

You can't get a decent one
of these back home.

Actually, you know what?

Your mom was just questioning
my level of commitment.

She thinks I see you
as a shiny distraction.

Mom, what the hell?

No, no, no, it's okay.

You know what, Tina?

You came up with a really
good point, actually.

I mean, you do spend
so much time at my place.

Why don't you pack up
your stuff and move in?

What?

I mean, we do have
your blessing, right, Tina?

Welcome, everyone,
I'm Nico Reilly.

Thank you so much for
helping us launch hang time,

the magazine that celebrates
"big toys for big boys."

Unfortunately,
Lou peterman,

the founder
of our great magazine,

won't be able
to join us tonight

because he was held up
in personal matters.

In Vegas.

So how's it going
with Anna?

Well, it's not.

I've just been
hanging back,

waiting
for Joe to show up.

What if he doesn't?

Then I'm gonna switch
from sipping champagne

to sipping antifreeze.

The average hang timereader
is an affluent male, 25 to 50,

who used to dream of playing
for a professional team.

Now his dream is to own it.

What did you say to her?

You had her alone
for five minutes,

and suddenly she wants me
to move in?

Believe me,
that wasn't my plan.

You came here
with a plan?

Look around you, Kirby.

You are in over your head.

You're dazzled by who she is
and all of this.

That's not your call.

She's driving this,
not you.

I don't want you to be
a passenger in your own life.

And we are lucky to have them here tonight.

Thank you.

Okay.

Let's see if you can go
three for three here.

You seem like a natural.

I am. So are you.

Joe!

Um, can you excuse me one--

one second.

Joe! God, thank god!

Better late than never.

Anna is upstairs.

I've been vamping,

just praying
that you'd show up.

Yeah, I saw the vamp part.

So her manager's been
hovering all night.

I was thinking that
I'd do a small-talk dance

and then you'd talk Turkey,
close the deal.

Can we just talk tennis?

Good plan.

You know,
it would have been nice

if we would have spoken
before today

so that we could have
worked all this out.

Where have you been?

Busy, but I'm here now.

Let's take advantage of
that before it changes, hmm?

Here.

"I quit"?

It's my letter
of resignation.

I'll call Ted
in the morning.

Is this the part

where I'm supposed to
beg you to stay on?

No.

Good, 'cause I
don't want to.

I know.

Oh, honey,

I know that I shouldn't have
said yes in the first place.

Why did you then?

Because of something that
happened a couple weeks ago.

I didn't think
it was worth mentioning,

but it kind of
stayed with me

and I think it just
made me a little clingy.

I just--i thought if it
could happen to me,

it could happen to you,
and--or--or it maybe has.

Sorry, darling, you know what
would be terrifically helpful?

Is if I had the slightest clue
as to what you're talking about.

Um...

When you were in Vancouver,

Dennis kissed me.

He what?

We were just hanging out
on Halloween,

and the boys were
in the other room,

watching a movie.

And I don't know,
he just kind of went for it.

Did you go for it too?

No. No, I threw him out.

It was stupid
and meaningless.

Mm-hmm.

If it was stupid
and meaningless,

why has it taken you,
what, about two weeks

to tell me?

I don't know.

Well...

That bottle of wine
this evening,

what'd he think
was gonna happen?

It was a peace offering.

And you let me stand there
like a bloody idiot

whilst I invited him
to dinner?

Bloody hell, Wendy.

She wants her line to stand out
but not lose tradition.

Be classic, unique,
but beautiful.

Like yourself.

Yeah, but not silly.

Not like I play tennis
in a nightclub.

Exactly.

I was thinking white knit

with one bright green streak
across the back.

Just something
a little bit playful,

like a well-placed
grass stain.

I like this.

Let her talk.
Go on.

I just think that it could
really pop in certain settings,

like, um, a tournament
that you play on the lawn.

Like the U.S. open.

You mean wimbledon.

The U.S. open is
on hard courts, not grass.

Oh, isn't--isn't that
what I said?

Any thoughts? Joe?

No.

And we could also
do a line

that complements
Clay courts.

You know,
a terracotta stripe

for the, um--
the, um--

the French open.

You have a store in Paris?

No, not yet, but we, um,

we have big plans.

Right, Joe?

Well, plans change.

You know what's so great
about tennis?

Love means zero.

Billionaires.

Excuse me, just--

they must be married.

So you're just
leaving now?

Mission unaccomplished?

What just happened
up there?

I realized I'm not cut out
for the rag trade.

Fashions change
too quickly.

What the hell
does that mean, even?

Joe, this is the moment
that we've been waiting for.

The store's open.

The offers
are finally coming in.

And just when I finally start
gaining some traction,

you bail?

Why is it that you

are the only person that
doesn't seem happy for me?

I'm happy for you.

No, you're not.

I think
you want me to fail.

At least be consistent.

Me?

What about you?

It changes
every day with you.

Monday I'm your investor,
Tuesday I'm your best friend,

Wednesday you need me
because I occupy

some kind of special place
in your life.

The next day
you're up there on the runway,

thanking your contractor
for making it possible.

What am I doing?

Thanks for the party.

Well, aren't you coming in?

No, I'm gonna head
back to my place.

I'm guessing
it's not to pack.

Nico, I'm not moving in.

Well, you don't
have to move in right away.

Oh, I don't?

Thanks.

Kirby, will you at least
come in so we can talk?

Look, Kirby,
I don't want to come

between you and your mother,

but I also don't want her
to come between me and you.

You know what?

Right now
I feel like a pawn

that's being pushed around
by two queens.

I already told my mom
to back off,

but that is not the way you
ask somebody to live with you.

I'm not just
a piece of furniture

you move in
like Ben Franklin's desk.

All right, well, I'll move
it out and make room for you.

I'm kidding.

It's not just about
the desk, Nico.

It's everything.

I eat dinner
on Charles' old lady plates.

We have sex
in Charles' bed,

on Charles' sheets,

and I take a shower

and dry off
with Charles' towels.

If he hadn't died--

don't, don't.

No, I need to
ask you this.

If he hadn't died,

would you have come back
to me?

Because I want to feel
like I'm the one you chose.

There--just--there's no way
I can answer that.

Kirby, we're together
and it's really good, and--

I love you.

I love you too.

I'm sorry
I didn't tell you sooner.

Did you
want to sleep with him?

No, of course not.

Why didn't you
tell me sooner?

I didn't want to upset you.

Wendy, I thought
we were better than this.

I think this
is the kind of thing

we really should have been
able to laugh about.

Shane, everything
is different now.

I'm home.

You're starting
your new life.

You're going on locations

with music people

and actresses and Josie.

Sweetheart, I don't want
to sleep with Josie.

And I don't want to sleep
with any actresses.

I-I just--

I don't know
what to hold onto anymore.

You can hold onto me.

Come here.

It's all right, love.

I'm sorry.

I love you.
I love you, sweetheart.

Ellyn.

Mr. Bennett
doesn't know I'm here.

Can I come in?

Of course, of course.
Come in. I'm sorry.

I--um--

I just opened
a bottle of wine.

None for me, thank you.
I haven't eaten.

Well, I think I may have
half a fortune cookie

lying around here somewhere.

Look, um,

he would murder me if he knew
that I was talking to you.

Yeah, well, I can see that.

What's up?

I just wanted to ask you
to go easy on him.

You can't expect him
to just bounce back.

You don't know
what it took for him

to buy that ring.

What--what--what ring?

Oh, my god.

He never asked.

Joe was gonna ask me
to marry him?
