Oh.

Nice. Bye.

First stop, 66th and Broadway.

MAN: WNYH, you're caller seven.
Can you name our mystery song?

-Oops, l did it again. Sorry.
-That's right. You win.

That's, like, five greens in a row.
The force is strong this morning, boy.

Dana, it looks like l'm running a little early,
so l'm gonna stop at Balducci's. Muffin?

l'm master of my universe.
Positive energy, positive results.



Perfect. Taking the dog for a walk.

Good morning, Mr. Phillips.

to the hottest band in New York City.

Magic time.

Perfect.

Find a penny....

[PANTS RlP]

MAN 1 :
That's it.

[ELEVATOR DlNGS]

MAN:
Hey. Hold it, please.

-Thanks.
-You're welcome.

Come on, baby. Baby made a poo-poo.
Now let's go.

[OFFlCER WHlSTLES]

Baby, your poo-poo's costing me.

Happy?

Hi. Morning.

Sweet.

Oh!

[DOG BARKS]

-Are you okay? l'm so sorry. Are you...?

Here, let me help you up.
Stop screaming. lt was an accident.

-Hey, you.

-This is not.... No. Not good.
-Help! Help!

Stay there.

WOMAN:
Get that thing near me and l'll smack it.

OFFlCER:
l need backup. A 288 in the park.

Hey, you. Stay there.

-The button popped.
OFFlCER: Forget it. Pursuing on foot.

We're making music here, not chicken.
Get it done. We need this done.

Stop. Sir, excuse me.
Good morning, Mr. Phillips.

OFFlCER: Got you.

Mr. Phillips. Take a quick listen.

OFFlCER:

ln that case, l'll be there at 5:30.

Okay.

[PEOPLE CHATTERlNG]

-Morning, Maggie.
-What are you so chipper about?

Brad Pitt and Jude Law had a baby
and l just met him in the elevator.

WOMAN:
Braden and company, can l help you?

-Somebody ordered Balducci's.
-Oh, yum.

Excuse me. What's happening
on this body? ls this a new coat?

Yeah. Can you believe it?
Sample sale, 50 percent off.

And her coat met someone.

"David Pennington." Owner of
the Boston Celtics, David Pennington?

-No, silly. lt's his son.
-lmpressive.

But l, too, had a really great morning.

Apparently Saturn is in line with Neptune.

Dana, those things aren't exactly factual.

And my new song got a really polite
rejection letter from 2-Tone Records.

But you know what they say,
one door closes and two doors open.

Speaking of doors,
the Phillips meeting, when is it?

Now.

Right, l've gotta go take notes.
l will see you guys after.

-Bye. Can l have one of those?
-Do you want the bran?

Where is everybody?

[ALARM RlNGlNG]

[PEOPLE CHATTERlNG]

Look, our sound scans last week
were 470,000.

That's why we deserve
to be at the front of the store.

You tell them because l said so. Tell them
Damon Phillips said so. l'm hanging up now.

-l thought we had a meeting.
-They'll be here soon. lf you'd care--

Wait. This is a big insult.
D doesn't wait for anybody.

Yeah, that's right. No one, okay?
And he is furious. Ain't that right?

Sure, l'm furious.

They should be here at any second.
l promise.

BRADEN: Are you kidding me, people?
Sara? Sara, do something.

Look. l just got an lM from Miss Braden.

She's doing some final touches on a special
presentation for you and she'll be right here.

Right. Do you know how much Downtown
Masquerade Records made last year?

Yes. 507 million. Gross.

Therefore you know how much
each and every minute of my time's worth.

Nine hundred sixty-four dollars.

-That's a lot of money. l didn't expect that.
-That includes the time you're sleeping.

So even when l go poo-poo,
l'm making money?

-Yeah. That's some expensive shit.
-Damn Skippy.

So you see why l can't afford to waste
any time? And this is wasting time.

l completely understand that. lf you could
just give me a moment, then l will start.

Please, if it's not worth the minute,
then l will give you $965.

Because, personally,
l think you're underpaid.

l hope you have your checkbook.

MAN:
l can't believe it's raining again.

BRADEN:
Let me out. Let me out first.

ldiot.

-Sara.
-Yes.

Of course.

-Right.
BRADEN: Damon.

Damon. l'm so sorry to keep you waiting.

Uh-huh. With cheese. Okay.

-l just need to get the files and we can start.
-No, we're done.

-Damon, please. The elevator was stuck.
-What?

Miss Albright just pitched me
your entire PR strategy.

lt's brilliant.
Especially the part about the party.

-A party?
-Yeah, the masquerade bash thing. l love it.

You like that?

lt's a great way to showcase our talent,
get a tax write-off and support a good cause.

You know l can never say no to a party.

What do you say?
What do you say? What do you say?

Me too. l love to party.

Don't do that.

Got you covered, Mr. D.
Your car is this way.

Masquerade bash?

l'm really sorry, Miss Braden.

l just took notes at other meetings
and improvised from there.

Well...

...looks like you've got a big party to plan.

-Right. Yeah.
-Of course, you'll need your own office.

-What? Me?
-Your idea, you're in charge.

Sara, find Ashley a new office
and get her a company credit card.

-Thank you, Miss Braden.
-Please. Ashley, from now on it's Peggy.

-Peggy.
-Peggy.

-And you are?
-Mail.

Whatever. And don't worry, Ashley.
l'll be watching your every move.

-Sara.
SARA: Yes, ma'am.

Katy, l'm home.

-Hey, Jake.
-Hey. Man, what happened to you?

-Fourth-grade boys.
-They're the worst.

Let me see. What's it stuck on with?

-Krazy Glue.
-Been there.

At least you had a better day than me.

-Burger?
-Of course. Ketchup for you.

-Katy, where's my bun?
-lt's in the oven.

She's got a bun in the oven?
Hey, Aunt Martha.

MARTHA:
Now, Katy...

...l'll be back after my shift at midnight.

KATY:
Cool.

MARTHA:
Stay out of trouble.

-Love you. Katy, mind your cousin.
JAKE: l'll keep an eye on her.

MARTHA: See you.
-Ready?

Wait. ls it gonna sting?
Because l kind of like wearing it.

lt's not gonna sting if you hold still.

Ow. Ow.

JAKE:
Okay. Hold still. lt's gonna be fine.

Hold still. One, two, three.

There you go. There you go.
Hold on. Hold on.

-All right. What do you say?
-Thank you, Jake. You're my hero.

Give me some skin.

You know, l'm gonna take this.
This is definitely a choking hazard.

-Bye.
-See you.

[JAKE GRUNTS]

JAKE:
Not again.

[CLATTERlNG]

-So where's he taking you?
-A basketball game.

His dad's team is playing Philly.

-Not sexy enough. Home or away?
ASHLEY: Away.

Let me guess.
On his private jet which he flies himself?

So wrong. He has a pilot.

Speaking of dates, hello? We should try
to find the dragon lady one for the bash.

Then she won't be all over us,
watching our every move.

Good luck. Men of Peggy's caliber
don't exactly take ads in the Yellow Pages.

-Could you possibly idolize her more?
ASHLEY: What?

She's sophisticated, glamorous, gets invited
everywhere and never has nothing to wear.

-Right. Nothing to wear.
-Wee, wee, wee.

[DOORBELL RlNGS]

-Coming.
-l'll get it.

-Find an outfit.
-l've found one.

DANA: Whoa. Who is that?
-Down, girl. You're drooling on my doormat.

lt's my next-door neighbor. Shh.

-Antonio.
ANTONlO: Hey, Ashley.

Your dry-cleaning was delivered
while you were out, so l took it.

You are such an angel. Thank you.

l do what l can. Big date tonight?

Kind of big. You?

Every night is date night.
Okay, see you later.

-Thanks.
-Bye.

Hey, Antonio.
Are you free next Thursday?

-l'm never free. What do you have in mind?
-You won't want to miss this.

Masquerade Records is throwing
an outrageous promo party.

Food, fun, dancing
and a blind date with my boss?

Your boss? What's she like?

She's a very smart, strong
and independent woman.

-ls she good-looking?
-Of course.

Okay, look, if you think we'll hit it off
then that's good enough for me.

You're the best. Thank you so much. Bye.

-Bye.
-Yes. A date for the dragon lady.

-You know, this isn't mine.
-Whose is it?

-Sarah Jessica Parker's.
-What?

-Not kidding.
-l did not know she lived in your building.

-My God. And look, it's Dolce.
-My gosh. l can return it tomorrow.

Let me look. Yes.
Your size. What are the odds?

Don't be jealous.

-This might actually look cute on me.
-You should wear it tonight.

-l'm gonna need some chocolate now.
-l'm gonna go try on the dress.

[BlRD'S WlNGS FLAPPlNG]

That weirdo with five colors in her hair

Hey, Jake. Jake, how'd it go?

A & R guys here tonight.

Hey, Jake.
There's a clogged toilet in the men's room.

And l'm looking forward to plunging it, Mac,
but not until my shift starts in two hours.

-Pretend it's a Grammy.
JAKE: Grammy?

Grammy it is. Okay.

So l'm gonna take care of this.
Keep up the energy. Hit that G, Tom.

We're gonna have

She don't care

[FEEDBACK SQUEALS]

Keep on going. l got it.

Fellas, come on. Things happen.

-You're firing me? You don't even pay me.
-Look, Jake, you're good.

l mean, you did find us. lt's just....

-But? What's the but?
-But we just think it's time to go home.

-You can't. We're this close.
-We haven't had any lucky breaks here.

Yeah, poor Doug misses his mum.

He does. He cries every night.

One week. How's that? One week.

You give me one week, and if l can't make it
happen for you guys by then, then l get it.

We're done. You can go back home.
No hard feelings. One week.

Okay. One week.

One week. All right.
Get some rest, guys.

HARRY: Your mum's going to have to wait
one more week, Doug.

One week.

-So did you?
-Okay, David is a gentleman. We kissed.

-Boring.
-Check please, Zuki.

So was it a normal kiss?

Or was it a supernatural
tingling-in-your-toes...

...butterflies-in-your-tummy kiss?

lt was enough to get him
to ask me on another date.

-Thank you.
-No, no, no.

What? Wait, what's that?
Senor Platinum says lunch is on him.

-l can't stand this.
-What?

Now, on top of everything, Peggy Braden
has given you worldwide buying power?

There's positive energy
and there's plain dumb luck.

Here we go. Maggie,
you've known me since seventh grade.

Will you please tell her l'm not lucky?

Well, you were voted prom queen
at Franklin High.

-So?
-We went to Jefferson.

-That doesn't mean anything.
-What? Are you kidding?

-Thank you, Ashley.
-Thank you, Ashley.

Face it, babe. When they whacked you with
that lucky stick, they whacked you good.

-You guys are silly.
-Thank you.

Thank you.

Okay, if you don't think
you have the luck gene...

...then you wouldn't mind
taking a little test.

-Test?
-Test? Cool. What kind of test?

-Sorry. Hi, one scratcher, please.
-What kind?

You wanna pick?

This is not fair.
l happen to be good at these.

-The green one.
-lt's a lottery. Nobody's good at them.

MAN: A dollar.
-Thank you.

-Guys.
-Come on.

-l mean, seriously, this is silly.
-Do it, do it, do it.

No peeking. lt's my scratcher now.

What did you get?

Five, 1 0, 1 5. l told you l was good at these.

-You are the luckiest person in the world.
-How do you do it, Ash?

You just scratch the silver boxes.

Scratch? You just scratch? l could kill you.

Watch it. l can't afford to be injured.
l have a major event to plan.

And we have a walk-through
downtown with Peggy in ten minutes.

Taxi. We need the presentation boards.

ASHLEY: Nervous.

-She's gonna love it.
ASHLEY: Okay.

-This place is amazing.
-Quick. She's ready.

-Hi, Miss Braden.
-Uh!

Sorry. Peggy.

-So are you ready to be impressed?
-l'm ready to have questions.

Of course. l would hope so.

So we're going for
a carnival-like atmosphere.

We'll have an upscale mixture of VlPs,
celebs and record-industry insiders.

Only everyone will wear masks.

lnteresting.

We'll have a DJ, circus performers,
fortune-tellers, atmosphere smoke and neon.

Over here will be the VlP area.

[THE SUNCLUB'S "JUMP 2" PLAYlNG]

We'll have champagne. Only the best.

Dom Perignon served by waiters on stilts.

Then a stage with Masquerade's
latest videos and professional dancers.

And over there, little alcoves with couches
and drapes to give people privacy.

Overhead, sky dancers.

l want people to feel like
anything can happen here.

Go, go, go

Everybody's jumping around

lt's gonna be a magical night.

Jump till you drop
On the party at the club

You keep the tunes coming
Hit a balance, near enough

Kicking high, kicking low
Let the bass drum roll

lt makes me want to jump
lt makes me want to jump

-The hired dancers?
-Are doing their thing.

-Phillips?

Peggy, l've got it covered.

Thank God.

Thank you so much. l owe you big time.

-So which one is she?
-She's the blonde one near the fortune-teller.

-Very nice.
-Yeah, she's a little high-strung.

You're terrible, but a doll.

-Now go. l have work to do.
-So do l.

How many times can you hear,
"You'll meet a handsome stranger"?

-Hello, it's called a Tuesday.
-What? You think good fortune is normal?

Just as l suspected.

What? Am l gonna win a cruise? Because
lately l've had that cruise-winning feeling.

Not exactly. lt says that good luck
has always spun your way. Uh-oh.

Be careful. This card,
the wheel of fortune, it is upside down.

That means the wheel
may be spinning back.

l don't really have time
for the whole spinning-wheel thing.

l have 500 guests
and a broken bubble cannon to attend to.

-So go.
-Keep up the good work. People are loving it.

Holy crap.

PHlLLlPS:
Yeah. Yeah.

Aren't they fantastic?

Now hear this.

Ain't nothing like a Damon party.

As of right now...

That's what l'm trying to tell you.
This is the biggest party.

-No, no, no, no.
-Mr. Phillips, excuse me.

This is the biggest party. That's right.

Whoa!

l couldn't stop. The guy cut me off.
Somebody call 91 1 . Are you all right?

Yeah. No, l'm okay.

Somebody get an ambulance.

No, really. l'm fine. l'm not hurt.

You're the luckiest son of a gun

-You saved me, Spider-Man.
-lt was nothing.

...but this band
is exactly what you're looking for.

-They're the hottest band.
-lt's done.

You bring McFly, right? Bring McFly

-Okay.
-Say, kid, what's your name?

-Jake Hardin.

Damon Phillips owes you big.

This kid saved my life, man.

She's choking. Breathe, Ashley. Puke it up.

Get out of my way.

Are they pointing at me?

Come on, let's get her.

Excuse me.

-They're coming over here.
-Okay.

Move it. Move it.
Out of the way. Out of the way.

-Ashley Albright.
-l'm afraid to say yes.

You're under arrest.

ls this about
Sarah Jessica Parker's dress?

Wait. l mean, no, l'm gonna give it back.

Wait. l obey the law. l like the law.

PHlLLlPS: lt's been a great night.
l almost got hit by a car.

-Step aside, sir.
PHlLLlPS: What the hell's going on?

Sex and the City.
Sarah Jessica Parker has so many dresses.

Besides, that was so last season.
ls she gonna miss it?

-You're a prostitute?

-Peggy, l....

Thanks to you and your little alcoves.

"l want people to feel like

Oh.

-Shh. The host.

-The host of what?
-Of this reality show.

[LOUDLY]
Okay, l've figured it out.

You guys can come out
and tell me that l've won now.

-Are you insane?
-Keep it down in there.

[lN NORMAL TONE]
Come on, you can tell me.

Did David Pennington
put you up to this? Did he?

That's my seat.

l thought this was festival seating.

This is real life, Ashley.

You not only cost me my biggest client...

...but l can't imagine
what they'll say about me in the Post.

-Braden.
-That's me.

-You made bail.
-Thank you.

Peggy, l'm sorry.

And in case you haven't guessed,
you're fired.

[CLEARS THROAT]

-ls this your floor too?
-What did you say?

[PLAYlNG "FlVE COLORS"]

[SlNGlNG] She's got a lip ring
And five colors in her hair

But l love the clothes she wears

Her tattoo's always hidden
By her underwear

All right, that's enough.

-Guys.
PHlLLlPS: ls the car ready, Tiff?

You know, they're just...

-..a little nervous.
-Go with him.

Jake. Jake?

-l'm sorry if that wasn't....
-What do you like about them?

They have a fresh take on retro sound,
like Beatles meets Blink-182.

l'm surprised.
Not record sales and demographics?

Funny you should say that, actually.
l think a band that's good will sell itself.

An idealist and a purist. l like that.

l used to be like that once,
but then l decided to become filthy rich.

Okay, well, thanks for the opportunity.

Look, kid. l believe in luck.

So l'll send it out to a couple
of radio stations, see how it plays.

Meanwhile, you guys work on a follow-up,
okay? You got two weeks.

So you're signing the band?

l just spent eight minutes with you.
Why would l waste that time if l wasn't?

Call Accounting, cut them an advance check
and put them up in a penthouse.

Now it's been nine minutes.

Let's go.

All right. Bye.

Thanks. Thank you.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

My God.

[THUNDER CRASHES]

Home.

Good morning.

Do l need a bubble bath.

lsn't that my...?

MAN 1 : We've gone through
pretty much everything.

MAN 2:
We're going to have to clear it all out.

-Oh, my goodness.
-This your apartment?

Yes. What happened?

-Flood.
-Flood?

Yeah, it's a technical term
for a lot of water where it shouldn't be.

lt's no big deal. We'll take care of it.

Thank you.
Do you mind if l go in and change now?

-Fellas, she wants to come in and change.
-l don't get it. Why are you laughing?

Sweetheart, we got a grade four mold
infestation. You're lucky we found it.

Lucky. Yeah.

Oh!

-How's my furniture?
-Don't worry about that.

We'll burn it before it can
contaminate anyone else.

We did manage to save these.

-This is it?
-That's it.

Hey, you.

Are you okay?

[ClARA'S "GOODlES" PLAYlNG]

My goodies, my goodies, my goodies

-This is my new apartment?
-l know. lt's pretty amazing.

Home theater, satellite TV.

And at night, with the lights down low...

...let's just say this place
is pretty mind-blowing.

Yeah, it's pretty mind....
You know, in broad daylight.

The band is down the hall,
the bar and the fridge are fully stocked.

And just so you know,
DMR is a really nice place to work.

At some companies they don't allow the
employees to date each other. Here they do.

-Date?
-That'd be great. l'm free all weekend.

You don't mind if the girl pays, do you?
Because some guys have this weird hang-up.

Gotta split.
l'm late for my erotic-massage class.

Catch you later, Spider-Man.

Erotic massage.

Guys, thank you for letting me stay here.

l don't have money, and the dragon lady's
blackballed me from every firm in the city.

-Why don't you phone your parents?
-And admit defeat? No way.

So where should l sleep?

-ln your room.
-My room?

See, Maggie's room
is right here above the kitchen.

And Dana's is a Jennifer convertible.

Yeah, so your options are the La-Z-Boy,
soft and sturdy...

...and my personal favorite,
the fabulous futon.

Perfect. Well, l'll keep out of your way
and you guys won't even know l'm here.

-Blow-dryer?
-On top of the radiator.

Thanks.

l never noticed, is your cat all black?

-Yeah. Why?
-Just curious.

Well, this is nice. We'll have fun.

Everything's going to be.... Oh, my God.

-What?
-l have a zit.

l have a zit. Girls, l have a zit.

Oh!

-Ash, are you okay in there?
-Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, wow.

Ashley.

Ash.

MAN: Okay, who's the idiot?
WOMAN: Nice work.

DANA:
Ash. Are you okay, Ash?

Hold tight. Hold on.

-Sweetie?
ASHLEY: l broke a mirror. l broke a mirror.

l know.

Guys, what is going on with me?
l can't take seven more years of this.

Ever since the bash
it's like l'm the anti-Midas...

...and everything l touch turns to crap.

Okay, Ashley, calm down, all right.

For some reason,
the fates have dealt you a lousy hand.

But the wheel always spins back.

Right?

You're fired.

Oh, my God.
l need to borrow some clothes.

[HUMMlNG]

Hello. Open up.

-Hello.
-Yoo-hoo. Yes.

-You have ruined my life.
-What? Oh. lt's you.

Everything in my life was perfect.

Wait a minute. Was it really perfect?

You know what?
Don't you psychoanalyze me, okay?

Just work your voodoo magic
and give me my luck back.

Fine. Concentrate.

[GRUNTlNG]

[SPEAKS lN FORElGN LANGUAGE]

All right? lt's back. Now please go home.
l've got an early day tomorrow.

No. Do not patronize me.
You and your cards screwed everything up.

Now you have to fix it.

l tried to warn you, sweetheart.

Look, did anything unusual
happen at that party?

Besides the fact that l tore my dress, nearly
choked to death, and the felony charges, no.

Yikes. How about before that?

l kissed a cute guy,
but it's hardly unusual.

Wait a second. You said that l could
lose it to someone else, right?

So does that mean
that he took my luck from me?

Maybe he needed it more than you.

So he stole it?
That little whack-kissing bandit.

No. That is just my luck, okay.

And you're gonna help me
and tell me how to get it back.

Me?

Well, let's see.

lf he took it from you with a kiss...

...then it stands to reason....

What?

MAGGlE:
So, wait, we're talking 20 dancers?

One of these guys' lips
are the key to getting my life back.

-l don't believe it.
MAN: Hey, get off the sidewalk.

-Take it easy.
-What am l? A target?

lt's ridiculous. You can't
get your luck back by kissing a guy.

-l don't believe how hot these guys are.
-Now you're encouraging her.

No, l'm just here to observe and mock.

Guys, l'm just trying
to get my life the way it was again.

How will you know the guy?
You don't know what he looks like.

l've got a foolproof test.

Hey, hey. That's him.

Yeah.

[CHANTAL KREVlAZUK'S
"ALL ABOUT A KlSS" PLAYlNG]

My God. lt's definitely him.

DANA: My gosh. Ashley, he's married.
MAGGlE: Ashley.

l don't need to know what you're thinking

l got a mission

Michael.

l don't need to know what you're feeling

To walk on the ceiling

-l suppose that's your sister?
MlCHAEL: No, no, Muffin.

-Tomato. Sorry.
MAN: That's not your sister.

You ruined my wedding.
You ruined my wedding.

Take one of us.

lt's all about a kiss

MAN:
Check it out.

Don't even know
lf l know your name

And push, push, push.

Excuse me. This will just be a minute.

l don't need to know what you're thinking

l got a mission

lt's all about a kiss

l don't need to know what you're feeling
To walk on the ceiling

[WHlSTLES]

lt's all about a kiss

Sorry.

Here.

Yeah, you're right on time

-Thanks anyway.
-lt's all right. Don't worry about it.

Nothing like surprises

-Dana.
-What?

l don't need to know what you're feeling

Thank you so much. Feel better.

lt's all about a kiss

l'm running down
l'm running down the night

Why?

When l find it

Yeah, l'm looking, looking for a sign

Could it be you
Or maybe you

Oh, yeah, l'm running down the line

Oh, yeah, l'm looking for a sign

Hi, l'm Dave.

l don't need to know what you're thinking

Lance. Can you hear me?

Hi. How are you?

Okay, here goes.

Oh, ow!

Girls.

He bit my tongue.

Here.

Come on.

-We still have one left. Tom Guthrie.
DANA: Spit out the ice, Ash.

Tom Guthrie. We've looked for him
at three addresses already.

You're right. l'm like the rest of the rabbit
after they cut off its lucky foot.

-l should just give up.
-Come on, Ash, it's not that bad.

So you've kissed a dozen strangers.
You've still got your friends.

Thanks.

But it's probably best
that we no longer touch.

-But l love you.
-You love me?

l'm gonna get you. l'm gonna kiss you.

Pancakes. Hi, kitty.

DAVlD [ON RECORDlNG]: Ash, it's me, David.
Big art opening tonight at Station A Gallery.

Meet you there at 7?
Don't break my heart.

-David Pennington. Another date.
-l'm not going.

Why not? lt's a chance with a great guy.

No, it's a chance to get hit by a bus.

Maggie, your black cat
is crossing my path. Not good.

Come on, Pancakes. Don't be scared
of the superstitious mean lady.

l'm not superstitious, but it's true.
lt's bad luck.

-Dana, how's my 'scope?
-Leo, Leo.

Your moon is in Uranus.

-Doesn't sound pretty.
-He could have canceled.

lsn't that proof enough that
this whole bad luck thing is totally bogus?

-l don't think so.
-Ashley.

Unlucky girls don't get asked out by
one of Us Weekly 's most eligible bachelors.

Unlucky girls watch
their fortunate friends get asked out...

...while they sit at home and watch Oprah
and eat last year's Halloween candy.

-That's true.
-You're right.

Of course l'm right. Go get ready.

You know what? Maybe l'm not cursed.

l'm looking at it the wrong way.
These setbacks could be opportunities.

-Of course. Because when one door closes....
-Two others open.

Okay. l'm turning over a new leaf
and my good luck starts now.

Good.

lt's okay.

Oh.

Did you just put that back in your eye?

lt was my last one, guys.

-That's really gross.
-Ow! My eye.

You see, l'm on the list. l'm plus one.
David Pennington, plus one.

MAN: Hi, David.
-There he is. See? There he is.

-David Pennington. There.
-No, no, no. There. She's with me.

Thank you.

Ooh!

l'm okay. l'm fine.

DAVlD:
Come on. l got a surprise for you.

Oh, my God.

-Look at that big, ugly, brown pile of....
-Ashley.

lt looks like it came out
of the rear end of an elephant. Ugh.

Ashley.

Meet my mother. The artist.

The artist? Hi, Mrs. Pennington.

You know,
you look so much younger in person.

-Not that l mean you're old or anything.
-lf l'm going to listen to this, l'll need vodka.

Good idea.

-Waiter.
WAlTER: Yes, sir.

Sure.

No, thank you.

David, that awful man
from the Times is here.

-lt's him. That son of a....
-Excuse me.

-Yeah? The waiter, he was just....
-More your type. l totally agree.

Mother. Please.

lf you two don't mind,
l'm gonna run to the ladies' room.

-You. Finally.
-Excuse me?

Keep your tongue in your mouth
at all times. This is strictly business.

-What?
-Give me back my luck.

Just.... Uh-oh.

No, he's not. lt's a cardiac reflex thing.

He's gonna be okay.

-Lucky you were here.
-Lucky you know CPR.

Yeah. You know what? That's me. Lucky.

You know, l'm feeling kind of-- Oh!

This is ridiculous. lt was just mud.

[CLEARS THROAT]

You must have met my twin.
She was here the other night.

She's the bitch. l'm the nice one.

-Can l just have a glass of water?

No buy, no sit. See?

Can l use the bathroom?

No buy, no bathroom.

Okay, great. Fine. Fine.
l'm leaving. l'm leaving.

Are we all enjoying the show? You know,
the real me doesn't have days like this.

As a matter of fact,
maybe l'm not even here.

This is all probably a dream that l'm having,
induced by a deep-tissue massage.

Yes, a massage that l won
at a charity raffle.

Man, that looks good.
Are you done with that?

No, that was a joke.
l'm not going to eat your scraps. Gosh.

Maybe just some bacon.

MAN:
l don't know what she's doing.

My God. l'm like a coyote.

-Perfect.
-Not the salt.

Just so everyone knows, l think what l'm
about to do is ridiculous, but it can't hurt.

Come on.

-lt was an accident. l'm sorry.
-Miss, l think it's time to go. Now.

Yes. Thank you.

-Thanks. Nice to meet you.
-Okay.

l'm gonna....

Look, l know of a job
if you're looking for one.

-Really? What's the scam?
-No scam.

Do you want me to join your religion
or something?

No. No religion stuff.

lt's just a job. A bad job.
Crummy pay for crummy hours.

lt still doesn't answer my question.
What's the scam?

Let's just say
l know what it's like to be SOL.

-SOL?
-Shit out of luck.

What makes you think l'm SOL?
Just because l spilt the salt back there?

Yeah.

Oh.

Look, where you are right now,
l've been there. Been there? l lived there.

l was kind of the mayor of there.

-l'm Jake.
-Ashley.

-God.
-You got it.

-My gosh.
-Looks great on you.

Could anything else...? l mean, to be honest,
l'm not really dressed for a job interview.

-For this one, l think you'll be fine.
-Okay.

-Want to check it out?
-Why are you so nice?

Look, l mean,
shit out of luck, that's my thing.

-Don't put me in this position.
-Come on, you're gonna love her.

-l don't need another loser waitress here.
-Okay, Mac. Okay. You won't be sorry.

-l didn't get it.
-No, no, no, it's not that.

-You can have the job, but it's my old job.
-So?

l'd hoped he would hire you
as a waitress or something.

My old gig was kind of a janitor,
food delivery person, toilet attendant.

l'll take it. l'll take it.

Positivity, that's what l like.

Yeah. Congratulations on selling out.

Selling out?

-The Hard Rock? We sold out the Hard Rock?
-l BlackBerried you.

-l don't have one.
-Tiffany, get him a BlackBerry.

There's a line around the corner
of people just hoping to get in.

l don't hug people,
but, look, you saved my life twice.

Once at the masquerade bash and now.

lt was a great night for me too. Ever since
then, l've been the luckiest guy in the world.

PHlLLlPS: Come by my office later,
we'll talk about the album cover.

l've got some ideas, all right?

[WHlSPERlNG] Jake. Jake is the guy
l kissed at the masquerade bash.

Uh-uh.

-Yes.
-No.

Yes.

Yes. That's great. He's hot.

You don't understand. lf l kiss Jake,
it's hello fabulous, carefree life.

And that's a problem?

l'll be in bed so close to you

Hold you through the night

And you'll be unaware

But if you need me
l'll be there

-Ashley.
-No, no, no.

l have to go now.

Now?

Yeah, l got you

Oh, to make me feel stronger

Oh, my God.

Taxi.

Sorry, l was just checking something.

-Five dollars. Yes. Thank you, luck.
-Ashley?

Miss Braden.

Listen, l am so sorry for...

-Antonio?
-Hey, Ash.

-Hi.
-How lucky that we ran into you.

l feel horrible about those things l said.

Stop. You were right
to blame it all on me.

Then let me blame you
for bringing this sweet, wonderful...

...iron-tushed man into my life.

-Yes. We're getting married, baby.
-No way.

-lt's true. l bought him the ring.
-Well, good for you guys. Congratulations.

BRADEN:
Ashley.

l want you to come back to work for me.

-Are you kidding?
-l can't lose you. You're my good-luck charm.

-l don't know what to say.
-Well, we have a huge pitch tonight.

St. Regis at 8.
So say you'll be by my side...

...and wear something appropriate
to your new vice president title.

Oh, my gosh. Yes. Yes. Thank you.

-Bye.
-Bye.

Yes. My luck is back. Oh, my God.

-Hello.
DANA: Ash?

-Anyone want some late lunch?
-Hi.

l have some surprises. Ta-da.

Last one in stock and just my size. Lucky.

And l went to Miyakami and got
two orders of everything on the menu.

-l thought we could use a little celebration.
-Nice.

Yeah.

-What's wrong?
-The band isn't gonna do Maggie's song.

-What? Why not?
-Phillips is superstitious.

He thinks new groups should only perform
music that they've written themselves.

-That's crazy.
-No, it's just bad luck.

l'm sorry this is happening. l didn't....

Ashley, stop. lt's not your fault.
lt's life, right?

Come on, we gotta get going. We gotta get
there before they go on to wish them luck.

-You're still going?
-We have VlP tickets. Why waste them? You?

-Actually, l'm not. l have a meeting.
-Job interview?

Actually, it's a funny story.
Peggy rehired me.

MAGGlE:
Ashley.

l'm so proud of you.

You totally stuck it out
and it all got better.

-Are you sure you're gonna be okay?
-Of course. What choice do l have?

l mean, if you dwell on all the bad things
in life, you miss out on all the good things.

-Well, have fun.
-Good luck on your meeting.

Thanks.

Bye.

MAN:
Cool. l'm right down in front.

DANNY: Oh, dear.
TOM: Look how many people there are.

DANNY:

TOM:
There's thousands of people.

Dressing room now. Come on.

TOM: l am so nervous. So nervous.

Hey, Nick.

-Bollocks.
NlCK: You look very nervous.

-Thanks. l appreciate it.
-Want some herbal tea?

JAKE:
Thank you for that. That would be great.

The monitors are hot for Danny and Tom?

And just remember the switch outs
at three, five and nine.

Someone could fall down this.
l'm gonna shut it.

Hello. Jake. Guys.

Cab. Taxi.

Oy!

-We're never gonna get a cab at this hour.
-Think positive.

[HORN HONKlNG]

-Guys, jump in. Come on.
-Ashley.

-Let's go. We don't have much time.
-What are you doing?

DANNY: Shocking.

-Yeah. Stoked.

Yeah. Born ready.

-Ah! My eye.

-See, please.
-Two minutes, you guys. Good luck.

Two minutes?

-Harry, the drummer.
-Who?

Harry.

Harry.

MAN 1 : Get out of here.
MAN 2: Pervert.

Sorry, sorry.

[CROWD CHEERlNG]

PHlLLlPS:
DMR's got the money, baby.

Sir, could you make a left?
Union Square is always a mess.

l can't believe you blew off Peggy.

She'll get over it. lf Jake's bad luck is half as
bad as mine was, we don't have much time.

Harry. Harry, are you in here?

-Has anyone seen Harry?
-No.

Excuse me. Has anyone seen Harry?
The drummer. Harry?

-Has anybody got a 20 on the drummer?
WOMAN: What's he look like?

Yeah, l don't know.
They all look alike to me.

JAKE:
Harry.

Harry.

-Harry. Harry.
MAN 1 : Start the show.

-He's not here.
MAN 2: We want McFly.

-He's not here either.
WOMAN: Bring on McFly.

-But didn't--? No, no, no.
-Jake, baby.

l understand the drill,
keep them waiting, but they're restless.

-We thought it was normal to go up late.
-Jake, l can't find Harry anywhere.

l checked the loos.
He's not in men's or women's.

ls there something
you wanna tell me, Jake?

We have a problem.

Hello? What the hell is that?

-We're so late. Come on.
-My gosh.

Thank you. Wait, you guys.
Guys, backstage is this way.

-Hi, excuse me.
-Hi.

DANA: Hold on a second, girls.
ASHLEY: Catch up, you've got the passes.

Hello.

Hello.

And l, for one, am not looking forward...

...to going out here
and telling this angry crowd...

...that the band decided not to play.

Oh. That won't be me.
That's gonna be you.

Unless you get your boys out there now.

-Mr. Phillips, without a drummer?
-No way. lt won't work.

Guys, l used to be
the backup drummer for Whitesnake.

Whitesnake? Hell, yeah.
There you go. Here's your drummer.

-We're not going out there without Harry.
TOM: lt's not gonna happen.

lf McFly doesn't play, you'll be lucky enough
to manage a high-school marching band.

DANA: There he is. Get out of the way.
Out of the way, please.

All right. Now go.

Ashley, now's not a....

-What the hell is this?
-Shh!

And in nine...

...eight, seven...

-No.
-Who hit the smoke?

...five, four, three...

Whoa.

...two....

ls that Harry?

MAN:
Let's do it.

WOMAN:
Jump-start it, baby.

We're on. We're on.

No way. The freak went on without us.

l don't believe it.

Hey.

-Do me a favor. Play Maggie's song.
-Absolutely.

-Let's kick off with "l've Got You."
-Definitely.

DANNY: Phillips is gonna be pissed.
TOM: Who cares?

WOMAN:
Rock on.

Harry. Harry, we're playing "l've Got You."

[PLAYlNG "l'VE GOT YOU"]

Ashley, thank you.

You're welcome.

-Are you okay?
-Yeah. Yeah, l'm okay. Thanks.

l'm proud of you.

[SlNGlNG]
The world would be a lonely place

Without the one that puts
A smile on your face

So hold me till the sun burns out

l won't be lonely when l'm down

-Katy.
-Jake.

-They're great.
-Good.

When the days are rough
And an hour feels much longer

l never doubted you

WOMAN:
Danny.

l thought l told you not to play this song.

l guess l'm not superstitious.

But l am.

l should fire you, Jake.

But it works.

lt works. Good job.

Thank you.

To make me feel stronger

When the days are rough
And an hour feels much longer

They're playing my song.

Yeah, when l got you

To make me feel better

When the nights are long
They'll be easier together

Oh, when l got you

ls that clapping
or my nervous system shutting down?

-No, they're clapping.
-Hello, Times Square.

-Congratulations.
DANNY: Great to be here, everybody.

[PLAYlNG "l'LL BE OK"]

When everything is going wrong
And things are just a little strange

lt's been so long now
You've forgotten how to smile

Who wants to meet my friend
Mr. Dom Perignon?

JAKE: That must be the '94.
PHlLLlPS: lt's the '94. Yeah, baby.

Okay. All right, guys.

lt's champagne time. Everybody,
"McFly" on three. lt's champagne time.

One.... Katy, help me out. One, two, three.

McFly.

McFly.

-All right. Danny, get over here.
PHlLLlPS: Come on.

Come on. Let's go, baby. Toast time.

Ashley.

Come on, let's go celebrate.

-Not now.
-What's wrong with you? You look miserable.

Maggie, l think l've fallen for him.

That's great. What's the matter with that?

l don't know. l mean, the feelings l have
generally lead toward kissing.

So kiss him. Kiss him.

l can't.

Oh, Ash.

Please don't tell me
you still believe in that stuff.

More than ever. And l can't not kiss him.

-l gotta go.
-What? Where?

Grand Central.
l'm gonna visit my parents for a bit.

l have to sort things out.

Give me a hug, you.
Have fun, okay? Be careful.

Okay.

Bye.

Gather round, gather round.

-Of course.
JAKE: You waiting for a train?

l'm just saying, if you are,
you might as well give up now.

Jake, please.

With your luck, there's gonna be an
announcement that all trains are canceled.

You'll go outside for the bus, at which point
the acid rain will commence, or acid hail.

Listen, Jake. l can't see you, okay?
lt's for your own good.

-Luck changes, Ashley.
-You know?

l kissed this amazing girl
at this masquerade party.

No, listen, l swear l'm not crazy.
Our luck did get switched.

And it still is. Here. l dare you not to win.

So do you think
meeting me was unlucky?

No. God, l'm lucky to have met you.
Okay?

But you deserve my luck.
You put it to better use than l ever did.

-l don't want it anymore.
-Are you crazy?

-l want you to have it.
-No. Go away.

lt's been great. But l'll be fine without it.

How do you know that?

Because l'll have you in my life.

A few bumps and bruises along the way
are a small price to pay.

Tag. You're it.

No. You're not getting away
with it that easy.

-Yeah?
-Not a chance.

-So now who?
-Who cares?

Ew! Gross. You leave a kid sitting in a limo
so you can make out?

You take me from a party
with really cute rock stars...

...l pop a shoelace, swallow my gum...

...and now l'm stuck
watching you play tonsil hockey.

-Good grief.
-Katy.

l am so glad you're here.

-Why are you guys looking at me like this?
-Hold still.

-l've been slimed.
-Try this. You'll like it.

-lt's fun.
-Cool.

So where were we just then?

Ow!

Twenty-five bucks. No freaking way.
l'm rich. Yeah, l'm rich.

l'm taking the limo, okay?

This l gotta show Grams.

l definitely hit the jackpot.

Bernie.

Thank you.

She deserves it.

-Pizza?
-You're on.

Think you can adjust to life without luck?

ASHLEY: l've never felt luckier.
JAKE: Me too.

ASHLEY: Do you believe in karma?
JAKE: Karma? Are you kidding?

ASHLEY: Once l helped an old lady
across the street. Next day, l found $1 00.

JAKE: That's luck.
ASHLEY: Karma.

JAKE: Luck.
ASHLEY: Karma, karma, karma.

JAKE: Luck, luck, luck.
ASHLEY: lt's karma. Get the door.

Why, thank you.

JAKE:
Hey.

-A quarter.
-Seems we still have our luck.

-Who cares?
-Absolutely.
