Previously on lipstick jungle...

I got us two
plane tickets to Aspen.

Stop smirking.

You missed this smirk.

Natasha
is going out on tour,

and she would like you
to join the band.

Me?

You're talking
about four months, Shane.

It was better for you
when I was someone

you had to take
care of, wasn't it?

Just so you know,

I'm just freezing
some of my eggs

in case I want
to have a child.

Hey, hey.
Call 911.

Thank you for everything.

It's my pleasure.

Turning down the tour--

that was a decision
that Shane and I

came to together,
as a couple.

Call Natasha bedingfield.

Tell her I'm in.

I'm gonna be the most
demure bride ever.

Did you just say "bride"?

Bri--did Joe propose to you?
Did you just say "bride"?

No, it's my turn
this time.

I'm gonna ask him
to marry me.

so do we have our winner?

Well, 297 intrigued me.

I mean, he's smart,
healthy, talented.

It's too bad
my eggs and I

didn't meet him
at a restaurant

or at a party
instead of a petri dish.

It is a strange process,
I freely admit that.

I'm actually
leaning towards

freezing my eggs
unfertilized.

Really?

Well, just
so you understand,

the odds of
a successful pregnancy

down the line are
a lot slimmer that way.

Yeah, I know,
but, uh,

there's no significant other
in my life right now

and this donor thing, uh--

I'm not ready

to take that leap
just yet.

I'm gonna take my chances
and try it alone.

All right, then.

We'll see you tomorrow.

Great.

Okay, go.

How did you ever

get this out
into the cab?

I shoved it
in the backseat

and I sat in
the driver's lap.

Was he cute?

God, I don't remember
it being this heavy

when I moved it into
the store with those guys.

They weren't
wearing heels.

Okay, back up.
Keep going. Uh-huh.

Keep going,
keep going.

And--right there,
right there.

Oh!
Oh.

Okay.

All right.

All right.

Hey! That's not bad.

No, it fits
perfectly.

This in korean,
by the way,

means "tranquility"

and "good fortune."

Or maybe it means
"extremely heavy"

and "extremely heavy."

Well, at least I
won't have to look

at dirty dishes
or balled-up underwear.

You are going to love
working from home, hon.

There's so many perks.
Mmm?

You don't have a grumpy boss
in the morning

unless you haven't
had your coffee.

Oh, it's
a reasonable commute.

Private bathroom.

Deal or no deal
is just a click away.

Oh, and a blocked
conference room

that's kind of homey.

Do we know anyone
who knows Howie mandel?

Honey, no one is gonna
open up a briefcase

that says "marry me."

Why not?
Stop thinking so grand.

Be personal.

But Joe loves grand.

On our second date,

he sent a private plane
to Tokyo to pick me up.

And what do you remember
the most about that trip?

The cupcake
he sent with it.

Hmm, okay.
Thank you.

what do you think?

It's a little butch
for our summer line,

but what do I know?

I just heard back
from the public library

and the jumbotron
in Times Square.

Both really pricey.

Well, we don't
need them anymore

because I figured out how
to propose to Joe my way--

with needle and thread.

Hmm.
Take your pants off.

What?
You heard me.

Okay.

marva?

What did I do right
and who noticed?

I don't know.

They were here when
I got in this morning.

No card?

Now what
could that mean?

Hmm.

Griffin wants you to clear
the decks this afternoon.

First interview
is at 2:00.

I thought he already
whittled down this list.

He did--there were three
of these when we started.

This position is
important to him.

Yeah.

"Bonfire blogger-in-chief."

You'd think
he's hiring someone

to take over the company.

Be happy he asked
your opinion.

Hello.

Nico. Hey.

I, uh, just wanted to call
and say thanks again

for hooking me up
with the victory job.

Yeah, oh, of course.
No problem.

And anyway, you've already--
you've thanked me plenty.

Huh?

The flowers.

They're beautiful.

Get out of the road!

And, oh, god.

They're not from you.

Uh, is it too late
for me to say they are?

'Cause, god, right now
I feel like a total loser.

No, no.
I'm sorry.

I didn't mean
to make you feel bad.

So flowers, huh?

Sounds like you have
a secret admirer.

It's good
to hear your voice.

Yeah. Yours too.

Well, I should go.

Okay.

Take care of yourself.

You too.

Bye.

So it's "bring your daughter to work day" today.

You like?

So now it's like
you'll be 20 feet away.

All the time.

Great.

Just because i'm
working from home

does not mean I'm going
to be cramping your style.

The scary thing is
you actually believe that.

Did dad
change his mind?

About what?

The tour, I thought
he wasn't going.

He's not.

What are you
talking about?

Looks like he's still

trying to find flights
to San Francisco.

So we've got the kid from Yale at 2:00.

We have her at 2:45.

And she is at 3:30.

I hope you don't mind
that they're all today.

I know you're going to be
out of the office

for a couple of days.

One.
Well, you know.

You may need some
extra recovery time

after the procedure.

I don't want you
to push yourself.

Anyway,

this girl,
Angie Wilson.

She seems like the standout
candidate to me.

Forgive me--
this woman.

She graduated
college in 2005?

"Girl" is fine.

Number seven on wired's
bloggers of the year list.

She's never published
anything on actual paper.

And I'm guessing she's
never driven a Ford pinto.

Does that automatically
disqualify her?

No, I'm serious.

I want to make sure
whomever we hire

still values
the written word,

and that it's not
all cyberspeak.

Ah. L-o-l.

T-t-f-n.

Ta-ta for now.

Ah, I'll see you
at 2:00.

Put some sugar
in the water.

The flowers
will last longer.

They're beautiful,
aren't they?

I'm glad you like 'em.

They're from you?

They are.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

But why?

Why not?

You didn't want
to leave a card?

Always wanting
a paper trail.

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

work the summertime

read my lips

Nice partition.

How was work?

Oh, you know.
Tedious.

I seem to have been
saddled with a drummer

who's unburdened by
any sense of rhythm.

Want a cup of tea?

Yes, please.

Funny story.

I was showing maddie
my new office

and I found these
in the printer.

What's that?

Just research.

That you're still doing

for a trip
you're not taking?

Why?

It--it--it's just
been a bit harder

than I thought it would be
to say, "no," Wendy.

Oh, so let me
get this straight--

i was gonna come home,
say, one Monday

to an empty closet
and a note from you?

Or was I just supposed
to catch your act

on live unplugged?

Oh, please, let's avoid
the melodrama, Wendy.

I've been wanting
to bring it up, okay?

When? Last night?
This morning? Tonight?

Not now, certainly.
Not when you're like this.

Are you gonna go on
the tour or not, Shane?

I'm still mulling
it over, darling.

Fine, then you can mull it
over with Dr. Kress.

We're seeing her at 5:00.

Who?

Susan kress.
The marriage counselor.

Right.

Brilliant.

You got this done fast.

Fueled by love.

And a deadline.

Okay, put your wallet,
um, on the inside pocket.

I keep my wallet
in my pants.

Then reach for
a handkerchief.

In the inside pocket?
No, that's--that's vulgar.

I always keep it
in my back pocket.

Especially
during flu season.

Okay, you know what?
Forget it.

Just, uh, take it off.

Take it off.

Ah!

Good choice.

See, that's where
I keep my cell phone.

What do you think?

I hope Mr. Bennett

answers his own phone.

Putting my college
newspaper online

tripled its readership.

I can guarantee
I could bring in

a whole new
demographic to bonfire.

How do you mean "new"?

Young professionals
with disposable income

who've been
texting their friends

since they
were in ninth grade.

They're not stopping
at newsstands

or mailing in
those annoying cards

that fall out.

I'm still curious
about your approach.

My next cover
is a profile

on Patrick Boyd,
security guard--

the one who had the affair
with the Hamptons socialite

who turned up dead.

He's the primary suspect.

How would you
use his story

to get new readers
to the site?

How about a slideshow
of the estate,

following the killer's steps
and the victim's?

It's a little ghoulish,
don't you think?

Lot of ghouls out there.

Maybe an online
whodunit poll.

Provide clues,
make it interactive.

You could run the results
exclusively in the magazine.

Imagine what she can do

if she actually had
time to think about it.

Hire me
and you'll find out.

You're on.
How soon can you start?

How's right now?

Why do none of his suits
have sizes in them?

Because they're
all custom-made

by a small,
nervous man in London

who will be
even more nervous

because you're
taking his job.

Huh. Well,
I don't want his job.

I just want a pattern.

Ugh. I've never seen him
wear this before.

You won't.

He think the lapels make
him look like Frankie valli.

You're welcome to that.
Yeah. Hmm.

Victory?
Yeah.

I--i hate to be rude,

but this day
is a little crazed.

Oh, this'll work.

Do you think
he'll miss it?

No, he's more
attached to his socks.

Does he have plans
on Friday night?

I left him a message
this morning,

but he hasn't
called back yet.

Well, that's
because he's away.

And where did he go?

China.
He left last night.

And when does
he come back?

Not sure.
You need help?

Oh, no, no.
I got it.

Since when do you
not know his schedule?

What do you mean?

Oh, well, you replace
his toothpaste tubes

before he has to do
any major squeezing.

This trip called
for flexibility.

Ellyn, this is not
just any Friday night.

This will be
a year to the day

that Joe and I
had our first date.

Happy anniversary.

So I just need Joe
at my place for dinner

so I can propose to him.

Did you hear
what I just said?

Uh, I really should
be getting back.

Ellyn, whoa.
Freeze.

What's going on?

What are--what are
you not telling me?

Is he--

is there someone else
in his life right now?

No, absolutely not.

Is he sick?

No.
Well, then what?

Don't hold out on me

and don't show up at
my place a week from now

with some sorry story
when I'm embroidering a--

ellyn,
you sent me down there

with the wrong report.

China?

Town?

Did I know
you were coming?

No, I just,
um, I stopped by

so, uh, ellyn could--
could try something on

but it's--it's,
uh, too fluffy.

Uh, I thought you
asked for 2006.

'07.

Rough day?

I've had better.

So, um--

give me a second.

Yeah, i--i can't
talk right now.

Call Pearlman.

This is why
we retain lawyers.

I understand, but I
have a call coming in

and someone
is in my office.

Can we talk tonight?

Very good.

So, um,

listen, I know
you're really busy,

but I just wanted to check
in about Friday night--

here's 2007, and I
need a signature on this

before I fax it back.

What are we talking about?
Friday. Dinner.

Can we do that
another night?

Well, we could, but it
wouldn't be the same

as Friday night.

Victory, if you
need something,

just tell me, please.

Well, i'm--i--

I would like
your undivided attention.

You have it. Go.

Okay, fine--
okay, Hong Kong, uh, reports are here.

But they're certified.
You have to sign.

That's fine,
send him up.

Tell the car I will be down
in a minute, all right?

Oh, I'll get it.
Hello.

Yeah.
No, I don't.

Wait.

Yeah, i--i--
I understand.

Hold on.

Okay, look, all I need
is one hour Friday.

We can forget dinner.

Just one sip of wine
and we'll split a crab cake.

Are you in or you out?

I'm in.
I want my own crab cake.

Yeah.

I think we made
the right choice, don't you?

Yeah, I don't remember
making a choice.

I remember
you hiring her

and not asking me.

Who would you
have hired?

Angie.

All right,
you know what?

That's not the point.

You just like
busting my chops.

No, I just think
you could have waited

a couple hours.

Played a little hard-to-get.
Make her want it more.

That's not my style.

When I know what I want,
I go for it.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

I'm not implying,
I'm asking.

Do you think
there's a part of you

that wanted Wendy
to find those pages

in the printer?

Why aren't
you asking him

why he wants to run
away from his family?

Okay, hold on, Wendy.

I think that's a leap.
Shane, let me ask you.

Why is this tour
so important to you?

Does it represent
something?

Yeah, it represents
the freedom

he doesn't think
he can have at home.

Good, okay, let's--
let's hear from Shane.

Hmm? Well, this whole
therapy thing,

it was all her idea.

If she wants to tell
you what I'm thinking,

that's fine by me.

What I'm hearing
is that maybe the job

represents
some external validation

that you're not getting
elsewhere in your life.

Is that something
you need right now?

Doesn't everybody?
What are these?

Are these
just covering up

unsightly holes
in your walls?

I give him nothing
but validation.

Would I have passed on
your work to directors

if I didn't
believe in you?

Honey, would I be trying
to round up people

to hear you play tomorrow
night if i--

Wendy, there's no need for
you to fill the house, okay?

Natasha bedingfield's gigs
are usually sold-out.

So that's who you're
backing tomorrow night?

Oh, so you've
already joined the tour.

No, I have just agreed
to play one set with her.

Here in New York,
okay?

Now, can you see this?

See the curious forms
her validation takes?

She goes crazy.

If I decide to do anything
outside of her world,

she just loses it.

Yeah, I'm crazy--

for wanting
to know major news

that affects
our entire family.

45-minute set.
Downtown New York.

How are we gonna
survive that, eh?

Let's just say,
for arguments' sake,

that your wife's support
is not in question.

If she's recommended you
for films in the past--

yeah, yeah, she has.

But she thinks
all the success I've had

has been because of--
because of nepotism.

What?
Yeah.

And that
sound in your ears?

That's my 15 minutes of fame
ticking down, isn't it?

Okay, Shane.

Let's get back
to tomorrow night.

Why do you think you
neglected to tell Wendy

who you
were playing with?

'Cause I didn't want
to talk about it then

any more than I want
to talk about it now.

I'm sorry.

I'll tell you this, though--

I don't want
to be the guy

sitting on a barstool

telling anybody
who'll listen

that he could
have played keyboards

on a 30-city rock tour.

She'll be awake
any minute now.

Uh, can I ask--

are you going to carry
the baby or is she?

What?

Well, there was
a couple in last week

and she carried
the first child

and her partner
carried the second child.

Oh, no, no.

Uh--no.
That's just--no.

No shame.

Hey.

Everything
went really well.

They retrieved
eight eggs to freeze.

I'm having eight babies?

Oh.

Don't tell Charles.
He'll be so mad at me.

I won't.

Now he'll never
send me flowers.

Did you see the flowers
that Griffin sent me?

They're so pretty.

Don't tell Charles
about that, either,

or Kirby.

Shh.

Sorry I'm late.

How's everything going?

Well, Nico's
juggling three men,

one of them's dead,

and the nurse thinks that
we're Ellen and portia.

Hey.

Hi.

Hi.
How you doin'?

Where's Kirby?
Is Kirby here?

No.

But we're here.

Me and Wendy.

I'm not all alone?

Of course not.

I thought I was all alone.

incompatible

it don't matter, though

'cause someone's bound

to hear my cry

speak out if you do

you're not easy to find

who doesn't long for

someone to hold

who knows
how to love you

without being told

oh, somebody tell me

why I'm on my own

if there's a soul mate

for everyone

if there's a soul mate

for everyone

yeah-eah

thank you, everyone.

Thank you.

Whoa! Hello.

Great set!
Ha, thanks, mate.

Shane, that
was so fantastic.

Yeah, I can see why
she wants you on tour.

Ow. What?

Why'd you kick me?

I'm sorry, would you
buy me a drink?

You guys want anything?

How about a bottle
of champagne?

Are we celebrating
something?

Just walk.

I can see why you want
to be a part of this.

Once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity.

What if we go with you?

What?

On tour.
Me and the kids.

After we got
home last night,

I was just looking
for ways to make it work

and this is what
I came up with.

Wendy, wh--

well, it'll be
an adventure for them.

An educational
experience.

All right, yeah,
living in hotel rooms--

our 15-year-old daughter who's
already whipped up a fake I.D.?

Have you gone mad?

It's not like her parents

aren't gonna be
there to supervise.

Oh, is that
what I'd be doing?

No, I'll be doing that.

I'm just looking for a chance
for us to be together.

I can just imagine
the phone calls

to the schools
as we're saying,

"we're pulling our kids
out for a rock tour."

I mean, come on.

I've made those calls.

And they're
already sending me

home-school study guides

and, um, a whole
semester of assignments

and all
the reading materials.

No.
No what?

No, we are not
touring as a family.

I thought
you'd be excited.

You're wrong, okay?

This was never meant
to disrupt their lives.

But the school's
given them permission.

Well, I haven't.

Look, I'm not
going on the tour.

Case closed.

I don't want to hear
any more of it.

Listen, we should
go up the corner.

We'll get one
quicker from there.

Come on.

There you are.

We've been looking
for you.

We're heading down
to a snow patrol gig.

Do you want to come?

Thanks, um,
but i'm--

uh, I'm Wendy,
by the way. Sorry.

I'm, uh,
I'm Shane's wife. Hi.

Um, it was
a great show tonight.

Thank you. Please come,
it will be fantastic.

Mmm, yeah,
yeah, sounds great.

But, um, we--we should
get back to the kids.

Right?

Well, I mean, honey,
if you want to go.

I--

wouldn't mind, but.

What do you think?

Yeah, hey, go.

Sure?
Just go.

Okay.

Good night.

We need to talk.

Step into my office.

What were you trying to prove
with that item on the website?

You hired me
to make sure

the sun never sets
on the bonfireempire.

Not by pillaging

the cover story
of an upcoming issue.

You beat me to it.

I assume you
saw the website.

Yes, I did.

I'm sorry, I know
how much extra work

this is going
to cause you.

The jury came in
late yesterday.

I had to jump on it.

Would you rather
be scooped by me

or by a rival publication?

How did you get
Patrick Boyd to talk to you?

I paid him.
You did what?

Not directly.
I--I'm not an idiot.

It's an advance.

I set up
a book deal with Larry.

Larry.

You mean Lawrence kellard?

Senior v.P. Of publishing?

I did a profile of him
on my blog last year.

I had his email.

I guess he doesn't
sleep much, either,

because we were I.M.Ing
about it all last night.

You can feature
a chapter in bonfire,

parador can buy
the film rights.

Didn't you say you're
all about the synergy?

You know what else
I'm a big fan of?

Chain of command.

If I didn't get
on this right away,

we would have
lost the story.

You work for Nico Reilly.

If that's something
you can't respect,

maybe this isn't
the right place for you.

Maybe it isn't.

I like her.

You're kidding me.

She did a total
end run around you.

Your February cover's
a complete wash.

Who does she think she is?

Me, ten years ago.

Look, when
I saw the site,

I wanted her head
on a stick.

But you know
as well as I do,

this is
a big score for us.

I'll find
another cover story.

But just so
that we're clear,

I fight my own battles.

I still don't understand
how this happened.

Oh, it was dark.

He probably
just didn't see it.

Here, do you want
some glue, honey?

Yeah, thanks.

Why'd he come home
way later than you, though?

I thought you guys
went out together.

What are you,
writing a book?

Was he wasted?

Your father
does not get wasted.

Uh, yeah,
but if he did, he might

wake up the next morning
looking a bit like this.

Don't I get
a "good morning"?

Eh, you kind of
get what you give.

Sorry about this.

Is there any coffee?

There was at breakfast.

I'll make some
fresh coffee for you, dad.

No, no,
that's all right.

You go help your mother.
I'll look after myself, darling.

So how did last night go?

Was it, like, sold-out?

What was Natasha like?

Whoa, you ask your mother.
She was there.

Yeah, but you
got to play with her.

You were, like,
on stage with her.

Was it totally awesome?
Are you going on tour?

Hey, maddie, please.

Oh, next time
you see her,

you have to get
an autograph for Chloe

because I told her
and she didn't believe me

and I really think that...
Maddie, maddie, maddie, maddie.

Could I just have
a cup of coffee, okay,

before we start
talking about rock stars

your little pals want
to get autographs from?

Please.

Don't worry.

I'll have all my stuff out
of here by the end of the day.

You mean your laptop?

Relax.

You're not fired.

And you're
not quitting, either.

Oh, I'm not?

No. You're not.

Now sit down.

Let's get
something straight.

New media is a division
of bonfiremagazine

which I run.

If you need to call me
at 3:00 in the morning,

you call me
at 3:00 in the morning.

I know you think
you know everything,

but there's a lot
that you can learn.

Lesson number one--

as long as you're here,
you want me on your side.

Fine.

Thanks.

I could use someone
like you on my side.

You know, someone your--

with your experience.

L-o-l.

Now get back to work.

Should we get the check?
Yeah.

No, I may want
to get another latte.

Don't you have to get back
and sew buttons on?

I thought you
were on a deadline.

Maybe not.

I mean, maybe he's not

in the marrying
place anymore, you know?

I could be taking
this huge leap

and go, "splat."

Honey, every guy that has
ever gotten down on one knee

has felt that way.

I mean, by the time
Shane asked me to marry him,

he was a mess.

I had to empty
the popcorn bag

so he could
breathe into it.

And we turned out okay.
If you don't count last night.

What did I miss last night?

Oh, just more drama on
the tour that ate my family.

She wants them to all
go on tour together,

and he doesn't
love the idea.

Well, I can see that.

I mean, honey,

you never packed up
your husband and kids

when you went
on a movie location.

Look, I know that I may
get kicked to the curb

for saying this,

but, sweetie,
all Shane wants

is to have
what you've always had.

Right?

A chance to be completely
absorbed in his work.

He wants to focus
on his music.

He wants to be surrounded
by other musicians

on a stage.

I want to go on tour,

and I don't even
play an instrument.

It's his turn,
isn't it?

Oh!

You're still here.

Uh...

Would you like me
to call victory

and tell her
you're on your way?

Would you like me
to call her

and tell her
you're running late?

Mr. Bennett.

Sir.

You--you really need
to tell her something.

Hey there.

Hi, mom.
Hi.

All right, dinner
is almost ready.

Go clean up.

I'm not that dirty.

Oh, do it anyway, please.

Thank you.

So why so late?

Oh, Taylor's music
teacher cornered me.

Asked if I wouldn't mind

writing
a few original songs

for the Christmas pageant.

Offers just keep
rolling in, don't they?

What's this?

What's this?

Are you kicking me out?

Yep.

For four months.

Go on, open it.

Go on.

What is--ah!

Do you remember that?

That's just--

promise me you won't even
think about putting it on.

I won't think about
putting it on, no.

Well,

I'll call
Taylor's teacher

and just say
you're not available.

Wendy, look, i'm--

I'm really sorry
about last night.

I behaved like an idiot and
i'm--I'm just really sorry.

It's all right.

It's okay, really,
I know, okay--

I know why we both
acted the way we did.

Shane, I really think
you should go on that tour.

Just you.
We'll manage.

No, I've made peace with it.
I--i don't have to go.

Yes, you do.

And believe me,

I don't want you
to be that guy

on that last barstool
any more than you do.

Well, honey.

Well, we'll visit you.

Okay, not--not often.

Don't worry.

Mmm.

It's gonna be hard for
you to come home, though.

I mean,
how can I compete

with 15,000 adoring fans?

And what happens
when other people

find out how
amazing you are

and ask you
to join other tours?

I'll tell 'em
I'm already booked.

Need some help?

Oh, I'm good.

Thanks.

Staff is brainstorming

on a new concept
for the cover.

I should have something
to show you on Monday.

Hmm.

I've always liked
rules, structure--

I like things clear.

All my life people
were always telling me

that I should have
joined the military.

Why didn't you?

Like the rules,
hate the guns.

Agreed.
Hmm.

One of my
own personal rules,

one that I
have never broken--

don't date anybody
who works with you.

And the way
I acted this morning

is part of
the reason why.

I know you can
handle yourself, Nico.

In pretty much
any situation,

especially here.

But for some
damned reason,

I have this urge

to take care of you.

I don't need you
to take care of me.

I know.

So how about you
take me out to dinner

tomorrow night?

I can live with that.

You know what I'm gonna
miss most

when I'm on tour?

It better be this.

I was gonna say
our comforter.

With you beneath it,
of course.

Oh, I'm gonna miss
mornings like this.

But then I'll hear
Taylor complaining

that there are no waffles
and I'll be okay.

Won't even notice
you're gone.

Yes.

Mmm, I'm not
waking up with you

for four months.

Darling,
you call me

when you get up
in the morning, okay?

It doesn't matter
where I am,

what time zone I'm in,
you call me, okay?

You know what?

Now might be a good time
to set some road rules.

Mmm...really?

Well, for instance,

no inappropriate touching.

Okay.

This.
Yeah?

No way.

Oh.

Can you give me
another example

of what wouldn't
be allowed?

Well...

This.

Definitely
not allowed.

Uh-huh?
Mmm.

Anything else?
This.

Don't even
think about it.

Anything else?
And this.

Oh, I'll hurt you.

Come on.

Ellyn.

Good morning.
Are congratulations in order?

No, is he there?

No, isn't he with you?

He never showed up. Oh, no.

Yeah, do you know
where he might be

or why he
didn't even call?

Maybe.

Nico?

Kirby. Hey.

What are--what
are you doing here?

I'm dropping off some
contact sheets for victory.

She asked me
to do it in person.

Oh.

Yeah, she wasn't
too keen on me

emailing
nude pictures of her.

Was afraid they'd
end up on Facebook.

She said that you
were her saving grace.

She was great.

And I think it's gonna
lead to some more work,

so thank you, again.

Good, good.

Any room in your office
for more flowers?

Hey, I was, um...

I was gonna mention
it the other day,

but are you gonna

use the Aspen tickets
this Christmas?

Oh, god, I'm sorry.

I completely
forgot about them.

I'll messenger them
to you Monday.

Oh, no, no.
Don't bother.

I'll--I'll just get a refund.
I'm not gonna use 'em.

Oh, you should.

It's beautiful, especially
this time of year.

Ask a friend to go.

You'll have
a wonderful time.

Yeah, you're right.

I should do that.

Yeah.

So...

Friend?

You want to come with me?

Either you have
remarkable psychic ability

or ellyn
just lost her job.

Then let's go with
"remarkable psychic ability."

Happy one-year anniversary.

A day late
and a dollar short.

You have no idea.

I really did want
to have that dinner with you.

And yet here you are,

dining with
the seagulls instead.

If there's something
that you need to say,

please just say it.

See that
wonder wheel there?

Neighbor of mine,

when I was a kid--
his name was Lou.

He was the ticket
taker there

when I was young.

And he used to let
me work for him

in the summertime.

It was my first job.

The money was lousy,

but I was in it
for the free rides.

I used to love being
suspended from on top,

just dangling up there.

Look over the whole
neighborhood,

the ocean.

God, I loved that.

Anyway, Lou
used to always say,

"the trouble with
being on top, Joe,

is that you can't go anywhere
from there but down."

So what, you're thinking
of buying the boardwalk

or something?

I'm not up there,
victory, I am down here.

I don't understand.

I had a nice run,
victory.

But I gambled big.

And I lost big.

Stop talking
like a fortune cookie.

What's going on?

I am overextended.
I am under-capitalized.

I--

I'm starting over,
okay?

I can't drag you
down into this.

It may be--

it may be a while before
I'm out of this hole.

Joe.

Now, I know what
you're gonna say.

"It's only money."

And I'm sure
that you're right.

But the problem
is i--

I don't really know who
the hell I am without it.

I know who you are.

You're the man
I want to marry.

What is this?

Did you make this?

Yeah.

It's a good color.

Try it on.

It may not be
a Gulf stream private jet,

but it's my version
of a cupcake, you know?

How's it look?

Look on the inside pocket.

What--

Don't you still
want to marry me?

I do.

But--
no "but."

Just, "I do."

I may not be able to
bankroll you, Mr. Bennett--

yet.

But I know how
to keep you looking sharp.

You own my heart, Joe.

Whatever else you do
or you don't have,

you'll always
own my heart.
