Previously on lipstick jungle...

Hi.
I'm sorry I didn't call.

What are you doin' here?

My parents
don't know about Charlie.

I'm wondering if you could
watch him for the night.

And I'm gonna tell
my parents everything,

come back first thing
in the morning.

I'm glad we kept them.

Why? You got the sudden urge
to suck your thumb?

No. I'd like to have
another.

You are talking about
another piece of pie, right?

I think we should have
another baby.

What is this?

Your business.
I don't want to be paid back.

I don't want
any connection at all.

Are you thatWendy Healy?

Cool.

Um, I can't actually
read something

not submitted
by an agent.

Isn't this a charity read?

Why are you slogging through
the whole bloody script?

I'm gonna make
this movie, Shane.

I'm not coming back.

Megan, listen to me.

It's a little late
to be deciding

that you can't take care
of this baby.

It's better this way.

Megan.

Megan.

Mmm, they always look so
innocent when they're sleeping.

Probably having
such sweet dreams.

Do we really
have to wake her?

Yeah, we should.

Nico.

What?

You nodded off
for a little while.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Right in the middle
of your blueberry muffin.

Kirby isn't here yet?

No.

Hey, don't worry, if you've
gotta go, I can watch Charlie.

Oh, thanks.

Kirby offered
to cover days

until I find someone,
which, between us,

I'm not exactly--

I'm not exactly
running to do,

'cause I kind of
want them to bond.

So Kirby's more on board
with this now?

Well, on board-ish.

How are you holding up,
beside being sleep-deprived?

Oh, it's intense.

It's life-changing,
but you know.

I mean,
that feeling of someone

completely depending
on you for everything.

I've never felt
so necessary.

Okay, that's it.

I'm gonna get myself
knocked up right now.

The next man I see.

Morning, ladies.

The nextnext man I see.

I was beginning to think
that you might not show up.

You got me.

I was halfway to jfk

and realized I didn't
have my passport.

Come on, who do you think
I am? Megan?

Do you want a paper?

No, thanks.

Already read it, already
was annoyed by it. Why?

You know the baron brothers?
Yeah, of course.

They co-financed
Bombay highway.

What'd they do to annoy you?
Thank you.

Well, there's a piece
on them in the style section:

"Look out Martha."

Apparently they've been meeting
with every designer in town

except for me.

They're doing this big
lifestyles project.

Hotel decor first, because
they own so many of them,

and then a website,
probably a TV show.

Oh, you gotta get in on this.

I know.

Look, I love owning
my business outright,

but now that Joe
and his safety net are gone--

just, if I got
a deal like this,

it would be a little bit
easier to breathe.

So are you gonna ask me?

Ask you what?

To call the baron brothers
for you.

I didn't want to put you
on the spot.

When did we become formal?

Well, are you sure
that I'm right for this?

You know, right enough
to put yourself

on the line for it?

I've never done this kind
of work before.

And yet you're offended that
they didn't call you to pitch.

I'm complex.
It's part of my charm.

Vic, if Scarlett O'Hara can
make a dress out of curtains,

you can make curtains
out of a dress.

One of the baron brothers,
they're cute.

One of them's single.

Yeah. No, no thanks.

Wendy Healy
for Neal baron, please.

So what time you think
you'll be back?

I've got the lawyer,
um, you know, for Charlie,

and then I've got
a staff meeting,

which I'll try to duck out
by 6:00.

Good.

You got nothing to say
about the lawyer?

I hope it goes
the way you want it to.

How do you want it to go?

I'm not sure.

What, you're not
ready to commit

to helping me raise
my dead husband's baby?

What's the matter with you?

Well, when you
put it thatway.

I'm trying, Nico.

I'm really trying to wrap
my head around this,

but you talk
about something coming

out of the clear blue sky.

I know.

I know it's tricky,

and you've been
really great with it,

and I appreciate it.

And Charlie
appreciates it.

You have to admit, sometimes
the most unexpected things

come into your life
and end up being the things

that you wouldn't want
to live without.

Like you.

And you.

I gotta go, all right?

Bye.

See you later.

See you later, boys.

Bye, buddy.

Dude, it's nothing personal.

Hey, Healy,

you stole my movie!

I have been waiting for you
all morning.

Haven't you ever heard
of calling someone

and making an appointment?

Come on, I gotta pee.

Oh, you are not going
to urinate on my building.

Watch me.

For god sakes,
come inside.

Was that so difficult?

So this is where
you're working out of now.

You need an office.

Why are you here?

Why are any of us here?

Don't keep me
in suspense, Stephen.

What grand theft
did I allegedly commit?

Under a speckless sky.

Cassidy's project?

Mind if I smoke?
Yes, I do.

It's just pot.

Technically,
that movie is mine.

How do you figure?

She submitted it to me
six months ago.

And?
And it sat in a pile on my desk.

What can I say?

But then I saw in the trades
that you optioned it,

so I took a look.

I laughed, I cried.

It's the story
of my life.

It's about
a 19-year-old runaway girl

from bend, Oregon.

It spoke to me.
Loudly.

I want to make
this movie.

Help yourself.
Thank you.

I'm glad you like the script.
Yep.

Makes me even more confident

in my decision
to produce it.

It's gonna be
a bear to sell, though.

Small personal story,
female lead.

Nothing blowing up.

Oh, I'll sell it.

I've already got
pepper gleason

attached to star.

That Hannah bananakid

or whatever the hell show
she was on?

Yeah. Cassidy and I saw her
do Ophelia off-Broadway,

and she was good.

Really raw, rough, edgy.

I heard three studios
turned you down already,

whereas I have a blind
commitment from gemstone.

$20 million or under,
no questions asked,

any movie I want to make,

and I want it to be this one.

So you've said.

Excuse me, we are in
a serious discussion here.

No phone calls.

Stop touching me.
You're all sticky.

And my seven little gold friends
named Oscar don't entice you?

I know you have
seven academy awards, Stephen.

We were supposed to win
one of those together.

Or have you forgotten
that fiasco? How could I forget?

Every time I see you,
you remind me.

Okay, fine, so you're afraid
to work with me again.

I'll move on to plan b.

I'll write you a check.
A gesundtaone.

You'll get an executive
producing credit.

I'll make a movie.
Everybody's happy.

Do me a favor, okay?

Go back to your planet
and go to the pile,

pick a different script
to produce.

You're not bribing me
off my project.

So then you will do it
with me. Excellent.

Good-bye, Stephen.

What? No kiss?

Uhh!

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, ooh

take your shirt off,
honey

let's freak out

ooh, ooh

won't be sorry, Charlie

read my lips

Hello.

Hey, I thought you were
recording all day?

Yeah, and all night.

But I forgot
one of my lead sheets.

I tried calling,

thought you could run it
down to the studio for me,

but you didn't answer.

Are you reconsidering
my proposal?

No, I'm just getting some things
together for Charlie.

You weren't really serious,
were you,

about us having another?

Well, I mean, I don't know,

I mean, there was something
special about that time

when maddie was born
and then Taylor was a baby.

It kind of felt like we had our
own little island, didn't we?

Yeah, but, I mean, do you really
want to start over again

with an infant?

Honestly, honey,
at this point,

I'd rather make movies
than babies.

But it'd be different
this time, though.

You wouldn't have to
race back to an office

six weeks after giving birth,
right?

Shane, it all worked out the way
it was supposed to.

Us, Taylor, maddie.

I wouldn't change anything.
Would you?

Oh, my god.

Was somebody having a party
without inviting me?

Give it to me.

Remember Stephen draper?

We met him at that, uh--

that time
at the golden globes.

Oh, yeah, he's a bit
of a nut-job.

Well, he came by,

joint and checkbook
in hand,

and had this crazy pitch

about buying me
out of Cassidy's project.

He offered me money
and a credit to walk away

so that he could produce it.

Can you believe the nerve
of this guy?

Oh, I mean, the bastard.

Do nothing, get paid.

Sounds like a sweet deal
to me, darling.

Not to me.

I'm a lot better
when I'm working.

I've learned that
about myself.

And I'm a better mother.

And a better wife.

Yeah.

Uh, you may not
want to hear this,

but I like
our arrangement now,

with you at home.

Well, then we need to have
a bigger conversation

when you're not
running out the door.

'Cause I'm not looking to be
a stay-at-home anything.

Hmm.

I've got to get back
to my session.

Nobody's offering me money
not to work.

Child abandonment
is a felony, sid.

I looked it up.

That's true, but since
Megan left the baby

with somebody responsible,
namely you,

it's unlikely
she'd be prosecuted.

She hasn't called.

Just that one to let me know
that she wasn't coming back.

How do you not call
and ask about your baby?

Obviously
there is something there.

Okay, hypothetically, we notify
child services now, today.

You apply to be
Charlie's foster parent.

And then what?

Assuming you get
temporary custody,

there's still
a waiting period

before you could apply
for any adoption proceedings.

All right. How long?
At least six months.

Well, I can live with that.

And then you would have to make
every effort to find the mother

or any immediate family

before they'd even consider
making anything permanent.

My husband was his father.

Charlie was conceived
during my marriage.

I mean, how much more
immediate does it get?

I love this little boy,
and, um,

I can't explain it.

But let's just make sure
we do whatever we need to do.

Okay.

My roommate, he is such a nightmare.

He curses in his sleep.

Oh, no, he does not.
He does, yeah.

I taped him,
put it on YouTube,

look it up.

Okay, well, bye.

- All right.
- Bye.

Bye.

Food's here.

Cute sandwich boy
doesn't happen to be

a professional photographer,
does he?

I don't know how I'm gonna

get this presentation
done in time.

Uh, his name is Paul,
and no,

he's a freshman at nyu.

He likes you.
I can tell.

What?

No, he's nice to me

because
you're a good tipper.

Why would he like me?

Oh, about 100 reasons.

You're cute, you're smart.

Those bright,
beautiful eyes.

That big smile.

Stop it. I'm not.
I'm plain.

Especially compared
to my mom.

No, you stop it.
Maddie, don't you see yourself?

Not like that.

Well, that is a pity,
my friend,

because you're all that
and more.

Come on,
we're going shopping.

Where?

Right here.

Pick anything you want.

It's my treat.

I can't do that.

Well, I'm your boss,
and I say that you can.

This one?

Exactly the one I would have
picked out for you.

Now listen, the next time
that Paul comes by,

this is the vibe that I
want you to put out, okay?

He is so lucky that I'm even
giving him the time of day.

I'll try.

Thanks.

You tell that prima Donna bitch diva

that I will pay her
her full quote

when I can actually get
full range of motion

out of that naugahyde face!

Where's your assistant?

Getting an endoscopy.

Third one I hired
who got an ulcer.

It's weird, huh?

Shocking.

So Wendy,
you've come crawling back.

Is it safe to be here,
or do I need a tetanus shot?

I like the mess.

It makes me feel alive.

I've been thinking.

Let's say we made this movie
together.

I knew you'd come around.

I've got some stipulations.

Stipulate away.

Cassidy does
all the rewrites.

No $250,000 a week script doctor
friend of yours coming in.

I want her to see
her vision through.

Good enough, although Carrie
Fisher does owe me a favor.

Forget it.
Forgotten.

You and me, we're a team.

A united front.

Any differences we have,

we have them
behind closed doors.

Not necessarily
these closed doors.

I'll be the Fred
to your ginger.

More like the Fred
to my Wilma.

The crass to your class.

Oh, god help me.

What else can I tell you?

That I'm not gonna
regret this.

Get on the ride,
Wendy Healy.

This is gonna be
the most fun

that you ever had
with your clothes on.

I did it.
I got him down.

You know, Charlie is
really mature for his age.

I'm thinking
that he's old enough

to stay up here by himself
while we go catch a movie.

All right,
seriously, though,

I'm starting to get
a little bit of cabin fever.

Aren't you?

Well, you can go out
if you want.

Oh, it's victory.

Ask her if she can
baby-sit.

Hey, Vic.
Hey.

Quick question.
Kirby?

Yeah, he's here right now.
What's up?

Well, I'm putting together

a proposal last minute

for the baron brothers.

Wow, that's great.

I know.
Wendy hooked it up.

But I can't find
a photographer.

All my usuals
are unavailable this week.

Is Kirby available
by any chance?

Oh, I don't know,
with Charlie and all.

I mean, how many days
would you need him?

I don't know,

but he would
have to start soon,

like tomorrow morning.

Oh, that's really
last minute.

Um, you know what?

Maybe I can take Wendy up
on her offer to baby-sit.

Yeah, no. She has that meeting for her movie tomorrow.

You know what? Never mind.
I shouldn't have even asked you.

I know it's a really weird time
for you right now.

No, no, no. Let me see
what we can do.

Can I call you later?

Yeah, no, um,
I'm gonna keep looking.

But--but let me know.

Okay. Thanks.

What was that about?

She needs a photographer
for her presentation.

Tell her that she found one.

Okay, um, I guess I could
take Charlie with me to work.

You're the boss.
You can do whatever you want.

Yeah, but then, everyone's
gonna be asking me questions,

which I really don't need.

Maybe I could work from here.

But if not, I'm not sure
what we should do.

Wait, hang on.
That's a real job.

Charlie's a favor.

Wow.

He's not my kid.

He's not even your kid.

Okay, well, um,

give me a second,
and, uh--

Nico, I'm not gonna miss out
on actual work

so I can stay here
and be a "Manny."

What's victory's number?
I'm calling her.

I'll get him.

No,

I'll get him.

The man with the golden touch
strikes again.

I am in love
with this script.

Do I have taste
or what?

So is it a true story?

It's so genuine.

Uh, part of it's true,

plus some fantasies
are thrown in

for good measure.

I'm sure Stephen
has told you

that we already have
our lead actress in place.

Yeah, about that.

Who else are you thinking of
for that part?

Actually, we're not thinking
about anyone else.

Pepper gleason
is our first choice.

We've already had
a long talk with her

and she said yes.

I don't see it.

That's the beauty.
It's unexpected.

Allison, use your imagination.

Chop off the ponytail.

Throw in a couple
of chicken cutlets.

It'll work.

Sorry, guys, this is a non-starter.

Jim carrey's manager is calling for you.

Oh.

Sounds like he's calling
from a plane.

Uhh!
I'll be right back.

You said any movie
that you wanted to make,

no questions asked.

I might have overstated
for dramatic effect.

Or lied.

Cassidy, we should at least see
who else is out there.

No, no, no way.

Are you ready to walk
away from this deal

if we can't
get pepper approved?

I'm gonna throw up.

Hang on, ladies.

This isn't Sophie's choice
just yet.

I have been
on this ledge before.

Here's what we do.

We take miss thing out
for a makeover,

dirty her up, bring her
in here for a meet and greet.

I can lead this horse
to water

and I can make her drink.

Hi, buddy.

Hey.

Hey, Freddy, what's up?

Send them up.

Yeah, it's gonna be okay.

Nico.

Yes.

I'm Ann albright.
This is my husband ed.

We're Megan's parents.

Um, please, come in.

Have you--
have you seen Megan?

Has she gotten
in touch with you?

Yes, yes,
she's at her apartment.

The apartment your husband
set her up in.

Ed, don't.

Is Charlie here?

He's--he's sleeping
in the other room.

He's good.

He's a good and happy baby.

You can't imagine
how stunned we were

when we found out
about him.

Actually, I can.

I think she was afraid
to tell you.

She thought you might
react badly.

We did, at first.

Thanksgiving
was a nightmare.

But she's our daughter,
he's our grandson.

It's our responsibility
to take care of them.

When she realized
we meant that,

she finally gave us
your address.

We're gonna take Megan

and the baby back home
to Indiana with us.

Oh.

Can I see him, please?

We haven't even seen
a photograph.

Of course.

Um, just give me a minute.

Sid, it's Nico.

Listen, Megan's parents
are here,

and they want to
take Charlie home.

Do I have any say in this?

The guy's
a total piece of work,

but he's had a hand
in every stand-out movie

in the past five years.

Well, it'd be nice

if we could only do business
with people we loved.

And if potato chips
gave you lower cholesterol.

Okay, this is what I have
for the baron brothers.

Kirby took these pictures
this morning.

And as we speak,
he's photoshopping the images

into a hotel room,
so that they can see

what it'll really
look like.

Oh, Vic,
these are beautiful,

and the colors
are so lush.

But don't you want them
to get the full effect?

Well, I'm gonna
bring samples.

No, no, no, no, no.

These guys
have to be dazzled.

They own casinos,
they own sports teams.

They like big,
they like glitz.

You know, your store
is fantastic.

Turn it into your canvas.

You could do
a hotel room set.

With these models and
these robes on those bedspreads.

And the pitch could be,
oh, I don't know, it could be

something like, um,
"glamour doesn't stop

just because the day's over."

The party after the party.

I love it.

And what if you had
little videos playing,

you know, of people
using your designs?

Just, like, little pops.

I could get you a crew.
It would hardly cost anything.

We could do it in black
and white, like old movies.

Oh, it's so you.

Oh, my god.

Okay, we have to get
back to the store

so I can start
working on this.

Can I eat my sandwich?

Nope, you're coming with me

so we can talk on the way.

Fine.

Oh, and you should see
the bathrobe I designed.

When you put it on,

it's totally
like wearing a hug.

Oh!

I knew your clothes were sexy,
but I had no idea--

oh, my god.

Oh, my god.

Um, uh, this--

this is Paul.

Uh, Paul,
you know victory.

Hey.

Uh, and this is my mom.

Uh, how are you doing?

Oh, I'm doing wonderfully.
Thank you for asking.

Yeah, I'm gonna go, okay?

Yeah.
I'll see you later.

Oh, bye.

Bye.

Who is he?

He works at the place
we order lunch from.

Oh. Oh, really?
And what?

Since you've been here,
what, three days,

you're probably
really close.

What's his last name?

Uh, maddie, could you
go help that woman, please?

Okay, relax.

It's not that big
of a deal.

How old is he?

He goes to nyu.
He's 17, 18.

What--college?
He goes to college?

She's 15.

Okay, look, in maddie's defense,

I may have encouraged her
to flirt with him.

Okay, victory,
you know what?

Maybe you should
start worrying

about your own love life
instead of maddie's.

Um...

She wants to know if you
have the burgundy satin

in a size 8.

We're expecting it later
or maybe tomorrow,

so just get her number
and we'll call her, okay?

Okay.

Don't think
that this is over.

Look, wen,

can I talk to her
about this?

What do you think,
I'm too angry

or irrational
to talk to my daughter?

I just think that
she might hear it better

coming from someone
who isn't...You.

Fine.

Hey, you want
to meet someone?

You want to meet
someone?

He looks exactly
like Megan did

when she was this age.

Yeah, and he's, uh,

he's got his father's eyes.

This was down
in the lobby for you.

This is, um,
Megan's parents.

They're taking Megan
and Charlie back home with them.

Oh.

We need to get going.

Okay, yeah.

You be good, sweet pea,
okay?

Here you go.

Nico, thank you.

It's okay, Charlie.
It's okay.

What time is it?

It's early.

Go back to sleep.

Nah.

I was having
stupid dreams anyway.

Come on.

It's been a couple days.

That's gotta be
a record for us.

But not one I'm proud of.

I'm gonna go into the office

and catch up on what
I missed yesterday.

Do I look tough
or what?

This is exactly who I pictured.

When I closed my eyes
and imagined the character,

it's you.

Come on, ladies.

Let's get over
to the studio

and show 'em
what's what.

Excuse me,
I need to check your bags.

It's probably just
a security tag they forgot.

Miss?

Wait, I don't know what that is.

Please come back
inside with me.

Wait, this is a mistake.

You can tell that
to the police.

No, leave me alone!
Wendy.

Leave it be,
leave it be.

We've got to help her.

No, no, no, no.

Thanks, guys.

We are helping her.

We are helping her
get the part.

That guard, he's a plant.
He's an actor.

I've got somebody in there
taping the whole thing.

So you're saying that you set up
this entire shoplifting thing?

Holy crap,
that is so cool.

No, it is not cool.

If they want to see her
tough yet vulnerable,

we'll show them tough
yet vulnerable.

This is gonna be one of the best
demo reels she's ever had.

So this has been
your plan all along?

You said
she wouldn't audition.

So you ambushed
the poor girl.

Excusez-moi.

I thought a woman who
forged medical documents

to get a movie made

would appreciate
my out-of-the-box thinking.

How did you know about that?

Finger on the pulse,
ear to the ground.

So just save your
righteous anger, Norma rae,

and let's
get this thing cast.

She's probably been
tortured enough by now.

I'll go call off the dogs.

Do you remember when the worst
thing that could happen to you

would be to not get picked
for the team?

Yeah, not me.

You're looking at dodge ball
champion of p.S. 17.

Why am I not surprised?

You know, Charles and I
were pregnant once.

What? When?

Right around
when you had Taylor.

It was only a couple weeks,

and we hadn't said
anything to anyone,

and then I started bleeding,
so--

Nico.

We would have been
raising our kids together.

No, don't.

That's why
I never told you.

Charles was relieved,

and I think I was too,

'cause I knew
that he didn't want it.

But this,

giving Charlie back,
this is worse.

Hey, the plus side

is you can get pregnant.

Yeah.

But Kirby isn't ready.

I mean, not even close.

And what if, by the time
he is ready, I can't?

And you know what?

Even if he was,

I don't even know
if I am with him.

And so, if I freeze
some eggs--

are you considering
doing that?

Yeah, I think I might.

As backup.

But then, do I ask him
to do that with me

or do I just do it
by myself

and then
not even tell him?

Oh, I don't know.

What do you mean,
you don't know?

You know everything.

True, but in this--
hi, guys.

Hot chocolate.

Is very healing.

That's so sweet.
I'm okay, thank you.

Oh, god, my phone
won't stop buzzing.

I feel like I'm playing
hookey in the park.

I gotta go.
Bye.

Thank you.
Bye.

That reminds me.

Maddie has a history exam
tomorrow,

so I gave her
the afternoon off.

So how was your big chat?

Uh, you know what?

At the end of the day,
I didn't feel like I needed

to make a federal case
out of it.

Oh, you didn't? Hmm.

'Cause it looked to me

like they weren't planning
on stopping anytime soon,

and that might have
merited a little talk.

But what do I know?
I'm just her mother.

Okay, look,
so he might have been

a little too old for her,

but nothing bad happened,

and it was really good
for her self-esteem,

so what's the harm?

Maddie doesn't have a problem
with self-esteem.

Yeah, she kind of does.

I've been helping her
with it.

All right, cool aunt,
that's my job.

Okay, did it ever
occur to you

that you might be
part of the reason

that she doesn't feel
totally good about herself?

What?
Come on.

You're eight feet tall.
You're gorgeous.

People want
to get to know you

the minute
you walk into a room.

I mean, try having that
as a mom.

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

Okay, yeah, you're right.

I don't know anything
about life or love

or feeling insecure.

How could I possibly know
what I'm talking about?

My buddy's been working on this thing for months.

It's a really cool concept,
actually.

You get people to write
their secrets on the walls

in glow-in-the-dark ink,

and you can only see them
once an hour.

The rest of the time,

the walls
of the gallery are blank?

Well, they're blank,
but, you know,

not--not really.

It's symbolic that you can't
always see the truth.

Yeah, but it's always there,
isn't it?

Do you mind if we don't
spend too much time there?

I'm exhausted. I didn't
sleep well last night.

You miss being woken up
every hour on the hour?

Sorry.

Forget it.

Hey, look at these guys.

How about I get us a puppy?

That'll keep you up
late at night.

We can get a pug,
we can get a beagle.

We could get a labradoodle,
just for the name alone.

Kirby, please,
just stop.

Hey, honey, why don't you
go to your room

and I'll tell you
when supper's ready.

Okay.
Okay?

Maddie, we should talk.

I don't get why you're making
such a big deal out of this.

I made out with someone.
So what?

Someone you barely know.

You know what?
You should be happy.

I'm, like, the only person
in my grade

who hasn't had sex.

Does that bother you?

Sometimes I think I should
just get it over with.

It's not a race.

It's not something
you get over with.

Honey, sex is...

Great.

It's great
when it's right.

And when
you're mature enough

to be in a relationship
like that,

and when you're with
a loving partner.

It's as close
as two people can be.

What if...

Never mind.

Honey, please.

What if nobody
ever falls in love with me?

Then what?

I'm supposed to be a virgin
forever?

Of course somebody is gonna
fall in love with you.

Lots of boys will.

No, mom.

That's you.

Honey, I know that you think
I have to say these things

because I'm your mother,

but when I was your age,
I would have given anything

to have as much going for me
as you do.

But I'm practically
invisible.

I'm the one who delivers
the messages

to the popular girls.

Oh, sweetheart.

I promise you,

you don't want to be the person
who peaks in the ninth grade.

Come to a high school
reunion with me.

And you'll see
what I mean.

Okay.

What were you like
in ninth grade?

Oh.

Oh, I think
we're gonna need

some ice cream
for this one.

Mmm, good.

You gonna write
something?

Maybe.

I'm going to.

I'll find you after.

Ships passing in the night.

Yep.

Pull up a glass.

Long day?

Oh, long and crazy.

Yep. Me too.

Sax player
with an attitude problem.

Well, I'll see your sax player
with an attitude problem

and raise you one
morally-challenged producer.

You didn't take
Stephen draper's buy-out?

You're gonna be working
on the project with him?

Oh, yes.

Well.

What happened to your
"message from the universe"

to spend more time
with your family?

I love my time with you
and the kids.

You know that.

But it doesn't have to be
all or nothing.

Today I had my meeting

and I took Taylor
to the dentist

and I had a two-hour
conversation with maddie.

Two hours?

About what?

Apparently she took a liking

to the delivery guy
at victory's.

Vic and I caught them
making out.

Well, you know, maybe if maddie
had a mother around

keeping better track on her,
she wouldn't feel free to go

macking with every boy
she comes across.

Okay, uh, it turned out
to be a good thing.

The catching her part.

Maddie opened up to me

in a way that she never did
before.

I hope you told her
she's done with that job.

No, I didn't.

Well, then I will.

No, you won't.

What is this,
your new world order?

None of the females
in this family can work?

Don't punish her
'cause you're mad at me.

Well, what is it, eh?

You think my well is suddenly
gonna run dry?

You think I just got lucky?

Better stay in the game

in case Shane
falls flat on his face.

No, of course not.

Well...

Why can't you just let it
be my turn?

Well, in case you were wondering,

I didn't write that thing

about leaving the toilet seat
up on purpose.

Yeah, I feel sorry for
the woman in that relationship.

I'm not happy anymore,
either.

I know your handwriting.

You remember
how I asked you

if you'd have picked me
over Charles?

I think maybe
you would have.

But I know you would have
picked that baby over me.

I want us to work, Kirby.

Yeah.

But--

I know.

It's not the right time.

Maybe someday.

But let's just--

let's just stop
before we get into

that hating each other
phase.

I could never hate you.

Healy house.

Mom, it's Stephen draper.

On a Saturday morning.

Tell him just a minute.

She'll be right with you.

Okay, I'll tell her.

He says, "chop, chop,
time is money."

Just tell him to shove it.
Make both of us happy.

I am not bailing
on this project.

I love the script, and I made
a commitment to Cassidy.

And if have to suck it up

to work with a complete lunatic
to get the movie made,

so be it.

Stephen, hey.

Put down all sharp instruments.

I come in peace.

I'm listening.

Okay, so it turns out
you were right about maddie.

And I made her promise

that if there's ever anything
she wants to talk about

or know about and she can't
quite bring herself to ask me,

she'll come to you.

Really?

Who better?

So what are you doing?

Are you preparing for
your pitch?

Oh, um, no.

You know, I forgot
to tell you yesterday,

probably 'cause you were
yelling at me,

that they moved the meeting
up to this morning.

Yeah, they had this crisis
at their hotel in San Juan,

so they called me
and they asked me

if I, uh--if I wouldn't
mind meeting today,

even though it's
the weekend, and I said,

you know, I don't mind,

because I love
working on Saturdays.

You know--

okay, don't make me beg.

What happened?

They came, they saw...

I conquered.

You got the deal?

I got the deal.

Oh, my god.

Oh, that's so good
for you.

We have to celebrate.

What are we celebrating?

Hey, you.

Hey.

Hey, are you okay?

Oh, I was just
taking a walk,

and I thought I'd do
a little retail therapy

in my favorite store.

Movie star.

It's over.
Kirby and I are done.

Oh, honey.

It's just, um,

it's just a lot.

But, um...

I think it was
the right thing to do.

Oh, I'm sorry, honey.

Come here.
Come here.
