90210 (2008–2013): Season 4, Episode 17 - Babes in Toyland - full transcript

I've decided to go
to Princeton University.

ADRIANNA: He wants you
to ask him to stay.

I'm not gonna hold
him back from this.

Put your own stuff
up at a gallery.

Don't ruin mine.

DIEGO:
I'm not in this for the money.

I'm trying to make people think.

You, on the other hand,
you're just selling pretty pictures.

You're right, it's much better.

Got any other advice for me?

ANNIE: Here at
the Hillingsbrook Foundation,



we think it's very important to
try and take care of our planet.

But your spending more
money on this event

than most people
make in a year.

I thought this was a chance

to do something positive
with my life.

And you know who's
the worst offender?

That Hillingsbrook guy.

I mean, what kind of person
doesn't show up

- to their own charity event?
- I heard that guy is a real tool.

(Scoffs)

You know, maybe
Sheila was right.

Maybe I'm just not
movie star material.

Help!

REPORTER: How do you feel about
people calling you a hero?



I just did what
I had to do.

I just talked to a couple
of casting directors,

and they said you looked
pretty great up there.

VANESSA: Nice job.

Hope the water
wasn't too cold.

ANNIE: Mr. Hillingsbrook?

I am the person who you left
hanging out to dry yesterday.

I'm not the person
you're looking for.

I think the last time

we talked, you told me

what a tool I was?

(Doorbell rings)

Jen?
Hello, darling.

Jacques and I thought you
could use a houseguest or two.

♪

Just figured with Deb and Ryan
on holiday in Spain,

it was the perfect
time to visit.

And it's so wonderful
to be back. (laughs)

I mean, how adorable
are all these tourists?

(Chuckles):
Adorable?

Are you forgetting
the time

when you tried to make
fanny packs in Beverly Hills

a "felony offense"?

Naomi, I've changed.

I've come to appreciate

how thin they
make me feel.

Everyone in Paris
is much too willowy.

(laughs)
Especially the men.

Between that and the
insufficient hygiene,

dating prospects in Paris,
they're not so bon.

Well,

maybe you can...

find someone
while you're here.

Ooh, you and I
can think alike.

While I'm here, I plan
to meet and marry

a handsome American
billionaire.

You don't mind
babysitting, do you?

Just while I
go on dates.

Um, typically I
wouldn't mind,

but I've been really
busy as of late.

(Chuckles)
Doing what?

And don't say coursework.

You go to C.U.

Actually, I started
my own business.

(laughs) Naomi
Clarke Events.

And not to brag
or anything, but...

I just pulled off a very
challenging birthday party

for Mitchell
Nash's daughter.

That's wonderful, Naomi.

You know,

partying has always been
your one strong suit.

So, I think it's great

you're trying to
turn it into a job.

- Well, actually...
- Hold my latte! I want to see if they have

those boots in my size.

So, tomorrow at 10:00,

you're auditioning to play

"Hot Partygoer #4."

And then at 2:00, you've
got an audition for...

oh, this one's for
an indie movie.

Uh, the part is
"Shirtless Roofer."

What, they couldn't even dignify
the guy with a name? (chuckles)

Come on, he does hard labor.

Hey, babe.

So, guess who
just called me.

- Who?
- Lee Brodsky's assistant.

Lee Brodsky,
as in the movie producer?

Yeah. Apparently
he's heard our track,

and he wants to
meet tomorrow

about some songs for
the new action film.

That is amazing.
Right? (laughs)

Uh, wait, I just told Liam

that I would cover
for him tomorrow.

- Is there any way we could maybe push it?
- Uh, pr-probably not.

He's super busy.

I mean, they're recasting a
role, or something like that.

I kind of feel like
it's tomorrow or never.

Okay. Well, maybe you can do
the meeting without me, then.

Babe, babe, no. No,
no, I can't do...

Look, we're a team, okay?

- Yeah.
- We got to do this together.

He's not gonna want
to just meet one of us.

- Okay.
- Look, I know you were really nervous

about getting back
into the music thing,

but... you got to
let me know, okay,

if you're in this
a hundred percent.

No, of course I am in it.

I'm totally in it.

Okay.
(laughs)

I'll go talk to Liam.

I'm sure we can
figure something out.

Ah, that's my girl.
Come here.

Mmm. I'm gonna start
getting ready, okay?

- Mm-hmm.
- I love you.

(Giggles) I love you, too.

Hey, uh,

so about my shift tomorrow...
Yeah,

thanks for covering...
you're a lifesaver.

Uh, okay, something
kind of just came up.

Dixon and I have
some pretty big stuff

happening with our music,
and it's really important, so...

Well, that's great, but
I've got all these auditions,

and I really need
someone to be here.

That's kind of why I hired you.

(laughs)
Yeah, well, you hired me

because you were
being a good friend.

- Right?
- Well, now I have to be the boss. Sorry.

Okay. Well...
well, then I'm sorry, too.

(Sighs)

Wait, you're quitting?

I just, I don't see another way.

(Sighs)

Thanks.

Mr. Hillingsbrook?

PRESTON: Incoming!

ANNIE:
Oh...!

What are you doing?

Wine balloon archery.

I break the balloon,

it fills the glass,
and I drink it.

Would you like to try it?

It's an excellent
Chateau Latour.

No. No, I want to talk.

I really need you
to reconsider.

You're being the world's
biggest do-gooder?

Don't you want to call
me a phony jerk first?

I'm sorry that
I called you names.

But I'm not really buying
the "eccentric rich kid" act.

If you really hate
those charity functions

then why were you there
pretending to be the bartender?

I was just stopping by
for some free champagne.

Oh. Because you're
so strapped for booze at home?

I think you secretly
really care about stuff,

and you want your life
to be about more than just

writing checks and drinking
rubbery tasting wine.

And I bet you know just the
thing to give my life meaning.

Yes. A nonprofit business.

We are going to make and market
designer tote bags.

All proceeds
go to charity,

and the bags themselves
help the environment...

It sounds like work.

Maybe you should
try that sometime.

Really?

Is that how you made your money?

No. I inherited it
a couple of months ago.

There you go.

- New money, new guilt.
- What are you talking about?

I'm talking about your
obvious discomfort with wealth.

It's killing my buzz.

I'm just trying to make
what I have mean something,

and honor the person
that gave it to me.

Which is exactly
what I'm doing.

Generations of Hillingsbrooks
have worked very hard

for me to live this way.
But...

Good day, Wilson.

You could show yourself out,
or I'll release the hounds.

Look, if you change your mind

and decide to do something
meaningful with your life,

let me know.

Whoo!

Look! Good boy!

Okay, Silver, I'm supposed
to meet that Diego kid later

at his studio, and he wanted me
to bring an interesting image.

What do you think
about this one?

All I see is the caption:

"Two-time NYU reject."

(sighs) Two minutes,
and I find out if I got in.

Two minutes.

Since Navid is off at Princeton,

I just, I can't keep sitting
around here, wondering

when my life is going to start.

You hear that, Jacques?

Don't wait.
Seize the day.

You're supposed to
be playing with him,

not trying

to turn him into some sort
of counterculture anarchist.

- Sorry.
- Okay, I got to go. You promise to text me

the minute you find out?

Yeah.
Okay. Good luck!

Hey, how was your
shopping trip with Jen?

Well, if I was shopping
for passive-aggressive digs,

it would have been
a wild success.

(Sets bags down)
(groans)

All my life my whole family
never thought

I could do anything important.

I mean,
every year for Christmas,

Jen would get books
and brainy stuff,

and I would get...
hair products.

Family dynamics can be intense.

Just try not to care
too much what she thinks.

No, I don't.

I just want to rub her face
in how successful I actually am.

Which is why, when
she was out shoe shopping,

I cold-called
Paddington Publishing House.

You know they
throw that annual

book announcement party
every year.

Didn't they once have Stephen King
jump out of a red velvet cake?

That was a low point
for them, yes.

But I spoke to their
public relations VP,

and she wants to meet me,
here, later today.

And my house looks like

- a well-appointed Chuck E. Cheese.
- Yep. That's my bad.

I'll help you clean
those up in three...

two...
one.

I got in.

- You got in?
- I got in!

To NYU?!

(Squealing, laughter)

Ahh!

Are we still gonna
pick up the toys?

(Exhales)

Okay, so I wasn't able
to get you a meeting

with Lee Brodsky.
I honestly

have no idea how Adrianna
and Dixon managed that one.

But... I was
able to get you

the next best thing:
An audition.

Another audition?

Liam, this character
actually has a name.

Private Wilkerson.

Now, it's a small,
supporting role

but it has got
breakout potential.

So, before you get too excited,
it is an open call.

There'll probably be
hundreds of guys trying out

for the part, but, Liam,
I just know you can get this!

So this is for
the part of the soldier?

A monologue by... "Goath"?

Goethe. It's, like,
subtext or something.

Whatever.
Anyways, go ahead,

give it a shot!

(Clears throat)

"To this has it come!

"To this!

"Treacherous,
contemptible spirit,

"and thou hast
concealed it from me!

"Stand, then...

"then stand.

"Roll thy devilish eyes
wrathfully in the...

in-in thy head!"

Yeah! Y-You just have
to go over it a couple of times.

You're gonna be great!

Sweet.

Yes, hello.
This is Adrianna Tate-Duncan

calling to confirm
my meeting with Mr. Brodsky.

The Carrington, at 4:30.

Yes, that's right. Thank you.

Oh, I'll be there.

( 90210 theme playing )

WOMAN: I am loving your ideas,

but tell me,
do you have much experience

- dealing with celebrities?
- Oh, yes; as a matter of fact,

- I just did an...
- Naomi, I had to borrow some of your

Crème de la Mer.

(laughter)

Amanda Dean,
is that you?

Jen, what are you doing here?

She's my sister; I didn't
know you two knew each other.

We went to high
school together.

Yeah, we were
always duking it out

- to be the smartest one in the class.
- Mm-hm,

and now look at us.

I'm a jet-setting
publishing executive,

and you... have a baby.

And you're living
in your little sister's house.

Oh, no, no-no-no.

I live in Paris.

My life is
much more glamorous than this,

I can assure you.

And as I was saying,

I actually just did an
event for Mitchell Nash.

Well, it was... actually,

it was a birthday party
for his daughter.

- Isn't that adorable?
- It was still an event.

Oh, yes,
of course it was.

I'm sure the children
had a wonderful time.

You do have the infrastructure
to handle a really big event?

I can't be sending
my boss any amateurs.

I can handle anything.

(Phone ringing)
Ah, speak of the devil.

This is my boss.

He really wants
to lock things down.

Can I tell him you'll give him
a full presentation tomorrow?

Perfect.

Okay, what's the address
of your office?

The address of my office is...

2153...

Harper Boulevard.

Well, if it's anything
like your house,

I'm sure it's to die for.

He'll see you
there at 4:30.

I'm gonna
walk you out.

So, tell me more
about this boss of yours.

Oh...

Go ahead.
Peel it off.

Okay, that is awesome.

Yeah, it's gonna
look even awesome

when you actually put it up.

Up?

What do you mean?

Like-like on the street?

Yeah, hence the
term "street art."

What's the matter?

- I thought that you were into this.
- No,

I am, I just... I don't know.

I don't know
if I want to be part

- of the whole criminal aspects of it.
- Okay, wait.

Hang on a second; it's not
like we're going out there,

putting up gang
signs or anything.

I know that.
We're provoking people.

Trying to add some mystery

to their otherwise
boring-ass daily lives.

Would you rather put
this up on a canvas,

so that it ends up on some
rich old d-bag's bathroom wall?

Obviously not, but...

You want to spend the rest of
your life hiding in a gallery

just 'cause you're afraid
to take a little risk?

Okay, first of all,

I've surfed Mavericks,

and I was married to a guy
who was dying of cancer.

I'm not exactly afraid
of taking risks.

All right, I'm just...

sick of them, actually.
No.

I think you're scared.

I just don't if it's
of getting caught,

or of getting close to me.

I got to go.

All right, but, uh,
if you change your mind,

me and my crew are going out
tomorrow night.

You should come by.

DIXON: Okay, so, tell me
what you think.

Okay.

(Mid-tempo jazz playing)

Pretty epic, right?

Yeah, in a Dixieland band
sort of way.

(Chuckles) I think we just
need to add like a little bit

more beat or something.

A little beat...

(phone ringing)
Oh, wait.

Hold on.

(Ringing continues)

Hello?

Wait.

The VP of A&R for Def Jam
Records wants to meet with us.

Tomorrow at 3:00?

We got the other meeting.

Um... yeah, is there any way

we could do it another day,
another time?

No, no, no,
I totally understand, yeah.

We'll be there.

Yeah, both of us.

3:00 Echo Park Grill?

Do you mind if I get
your number, actually?

Perfect.

Okay, cool.

Thank you so much.

Okay, bye.

Can you believe this?

Two huge meetings?

Ah!

Wow, um...

Oh...

This is... this is awesome.

But... the other meeting's all
the way across town at 4:30.

Do you really think
we're gonna make it?

Well, the Def Jam guy's
only in town for one day.

Yeah, I get that, but...

Okay, you asked me
if I was in this 100%, and I am.

Okay, we cannot waste
any opportunities.

It's fine.

We'll just...
we'll talk really fast,

and we won't take the freeway.

Okay, all right.

Okay, okay.

Oh, I'm so excited.

So, you just made up
a totally random address, huh?

I was on the spot,

and it wasn't completely random.

My hair salon used
to be on this block.

Nobody is gonna hire
an events planner

who works
out of a hair salon, Naomi.

Okay, so I'll figure it out.

I'll offer to rent the place for
some obscene amount of money.

I'm sure they'll go for it.

And then slap my
name on the wall,

and bribe whoever
works there to pretend

to be my staff
for a few hours.

But it's practically
too easy.

Oh, my God!

There it is.

(laughs)

And look, it's just
a quaint little...

... sex shop.

Uh, you know,
I'm just gonna go.

Stay here and help me.

And try not to think of
what people do with those.

- Ugh.
- Hi.

Excuse me.

It's a fabulous
store you have here.

What would it cost to
rent it out for the day?

I don't know,
I'd have to ask my manager.

Thank you, Mr. Smith.

We appreciate
your business.

Okay, blondie.

Are you high
or just a moron?

You think
you can rent us out

like a karaoke room?
I don't think so.

Well, I'm willing
to make it worth your while.

That's impossible.

Uh, the weekend
before Valentine's Day

is our biggest sales event
of the year.

We call it black
leather Friday.

(Giggles)
Clever.

Just cancel the meeting.

And prove Jen right?
Are you insane?

(Sighs)

What if I buy everything?

Everything?

Yes, down to the last...

novelty condom.

Except that.
I won't buy that.

I-I'm allergic vinyl;
It gives me a rash.

I will, however,

give you a thousand dollars each

to pretend to
be my employees

provided that you
can find some...

non-crotchless clothing.

I take it role-playing
is on your résumés?

You got yourself a deal.

Excellent.

All right, ladies,

welcome to Naomi Clark Events.

ANNIE: I'm glad
you finally came around.

Well, resistance
seemed futile.

Besides, you seem like
one of those...

plucky, annoying people
who don't give up.

So, I decided
to do your project.

Thanks.

With one condition.

I cannot work with someone

who's going to make guilty
about my money,

so I need you to prove to me

that you're not gonna
be guilty with yours.

And how exactly
am I supposed to do that?

- I want you to buy something.
- That's all?

- Yeah.
- Listen,

PJ, I went
to West Beverly High,

I can shop.

Here.

Not a $200 wallet.

Something big,

something you've always wanted,

something that
you secretly wanted

but you could never afford.

Uh...

Mm!

These are kind of nice.

No looking at price tags!

Money is no object.

Come on.

Hm.

That is quite a bag.

It's no canvas tote for charity,
but it'll do.

I'm impressed.

And you know what?

It's on me.

Looks like we're
in business together, Wilson.

Enjoy the bag.

DIXON: We're going to miss
our other meeting.

Please let this be him.

Come on.

(Sighs)

Um, maybe you should
call his assistant, huh?

Make sure
the guy's on his way?

Okay, yeah.

Okay.

That's weird.

It says the call can't
be completed as dialed.

It's okay. Um, let's just

give it five minutes,
and then we can get out of here.

All right?
Five minutes.

Yeah, five minutes,
we can do this.

Five minutes, okay.

Ugh, don't mind me,

I'm just pretty sure
I got stood up.

And I thought I
was the only one.

Really?

Wow, well,

maybe we're supposed
to meet each other.

You don't happen

to be a musical duo, do you?

Nope.

No, I'm just a single gal.

NAOMI: I'm so proud of us.

You would never know
this was a sex shop.

Whoo!

Okay.

Wow.

Shirazi Studios, very nice.

Okay, that reminds me,

I've got to go to the doctor
to get my vaccinations,

It is the last hurdle until I'm
officially a college student.

Yeah!

All right, is this it?

Oh, wait. No.
There's another one.

I swear to God, they keep
popping out of nowhere.

It's like some pervert

got a magical wish
granted or something.

Okay.

Well, good luck to you.

Oh.

Mr. Paddington.

And Jen.

JEN:
Well, we just happened

to bump into each
other outside.

What a wonderful coincidence.

Yes. Truly.

Your sister's
a real delight.

JEN
Tell me, does

Mrs. Paddington work in the
publishing business, as well?

Uh... no.

No, there is no Mrs. Paddington.

Oh, thank you.

How interesting.

(Clears throat)

So, to get started,
I'd like to say,

I am sick and tired,
as you probably are,

of the monotonous
party parade...

You know, I always say
that a party's really only

as interesting as the
people in attendance.

That is so deeply true.

And since you publish books...

I love books.

WILLIAM (laughing):
Oh.

I'm glad to hear that.

I do. I read a lot.

Oh.
I went to Yale.

So...
Really?

What better way
to evoke the wonder of books

than by returning us to the ones

that thrilled us the most
during our youth?

I give you...
The Enchanted Forest.

Intimate, mysterious.

It's a welcome relief

from the generic Hollywood
glitz. There will be

trees growing out of tables...

Speaking of forests,
do you like hiking?

WILLIAM:
I love it.

But do you know
what I love even more?

An excellent meal

with a charming companion.

Pick you up at 8:00?

Mm.

All right, well,
I've heard enough.

- You know, there's more that I can show you.
- No, Naomi.

I think the concept
is fantastic,

and Amanda had
already sold me.

I have no doubt
that you and your staff

will make it a night
to remember.

(laughs)

Jen?
Yes?

Walk me out?

JEN: Sure.

(Whispers):
Yes!

Thanks.

Erin Silver, how are you?

Hi.

I can't believe
you're heading off to college.

Last time I filled out
vaccination forms for you,

I think it was for summer camp.
(scoffs)

Well, don't worry. I'm not
coming back from NYU

with poison oak
and swimmer's ear.

(laughs)
Good.

Guess that means
you're all grown up.

Yeah.

Which means
we should probably talk

about your family
medical history.

Erin, your mom, your aunt
and your grandmother

all died of breast cancer.

And I know the drill.

Self-exams, regular checkups.

I'm gonna start doing those.

Good. You also
should consider

getting tested
for the Braca gene.

If you have the Braca one
or two mutation,

your future includes
an up to 60% chance

of getting breast cancer.

You'd have to consider
preventative measures,

such as a prophylactic
mastectomy and...

Do we have to talk about it now?

We do.

I've... I've had
a pretty crappy year,

and I finally have something
to look forward to.

So, right now, I just want
to get my life started.

You're going to college.

I probably won't be
seeing you anymore.

And by your early twenties,
this could be a very

urgent concern.

It's my job to make sure
you're informed about this.

I just want
to be excited about my future.

And I just want you
to have a healthy one.

JEN: Oh, look at your little
party decorations. FYI:

I may be bringing William
back here later.

And if my powers are anything
like they used to be,

he may well have proposed
by morning.

(laughing): Well, you're
not wasting any time.

Well, I just have a really
good feeling about him.

And not just for
me. For Jacques.

Yes, I'm sure he can get Jacques
many free copies of Babar.

It's not about that.

Or really even about the money.

I see Debbie and Ryan
and Jacques together,

and they are like a
perfect little family.

Is it so wrong to think

that maybe I could have
something like that, too?

That I am not
destined to be alone?

No, of course not.

(Footsteps approaching)

Hey, guys.

Uh,

is that the new
Tradesrogue crocodile hobo?

I picked it up today.

That's a really
expensive bag.

You know what?

I didn't even look at the price.

But even if it was, like $1,000,

I'm okay with that.

Yeah. Try $40,000.

Mm.
Mm.

$40,000?

Oh, my God.

I let him buy me a $40,000 bag?!

Well, whoever he is,
he sounds like a keeper.

I have to run.

Jacques might
wake up...

No. No, Jen, you can't
leave me with Jacques.

I have too much
to do for this party.

... and if he does, he'll
need a diaper change.

Any interest in baby-sitting?

Sorry. I just realized
there's something I need to go do.

Right. And I'm just... standing here
with my thumb up my...

(baby crying)

Aah! Don't worry.
Auntie's coming.

I need a baby-sitter.

DIXON:
Okay, yes.

Okay, I get it.
I get it.

Um, but are you sure he can't
squeeze us in, like, right now?

(Nervous chuckle)
I mean, we can meet anywhere.

Well, we weren't
exactly snoozing.

We were actually stuck
in traffic...

Hello?

Oh! I can't believe it.

(Sighs)
We totally blew it.

No, it's okay.

Um, I know this sucks, but

there will be
other meetings, okay?

We'll just learn
from our mistakes.

We can't make any more mistakes.

I quit my job, Dixon.

Uh... (nervous laugh)

Baby, uh, that's kind of
jumping the gun.

Don't you think?

You do know the phrase,

"Don't quit
your day job," right?

Yeah, well, I thought, according
to you, the phrase was,

"And if you're not in it with me
100%, you're not in it at all."

Um, what are you talking abo a?

That is what you were saying,
isn't it?

I mean, if we don't make it
as a team,

we don't make it as a couple?

Whoa, Ade. No.

Babe, our relationship

and our business are two
completely different things.

If the business side
doesn't work out,

it's not gonna affect
our relationship.

Do you promise?

Yes, I promise.

And I'm sure Liam would give you
your job back in a heartbeat.

He's a friend.

Hey, your door was unlocked.

Whoa, what happened with this?

Ugh. Well, I asked
Jacques' baby-sitter for help,

but apparently, she's no whiz
with the hot glue gun.

(Glue gun squeaking)

So, how is prep
for NYU going?

Have you started
practicing hailing cabs

and being snobbish
about pizza?

You know, I'm not really feeling
the whole NYU thing today.

(Scoffs)

What are you talking about?

You've been excited
about this for years.

Yeah, I know. It's just...

(phone ringing)
Wait.

Hold that thought.

Mr. Paddington,
how can I help you?

Your wallet?

That you left in the pocket
of your coat at my office.

I understand.
Of course.

I will send one of my assistants
there right away to look for it.

It's not a problem.

(Nervous laugh)

Except it's not your office,
and you have no assistants.

Listen, guys, we're not
gonna have long to put it up.

All right? So, we're all gonna
have to, like, move as fast

as we can,
you know what I'm saying?

(Clears throat) I'll catch
up with you guys later.

Just so you know, okay,
I'm not here for you.

I'm just into
doing the art.

Okay. And you thought
you'd look less conspicuous

dressed up as
a, uh, ninja?

I just thought it would help me
blend in with the night, okay?

Yeah, uh, it's just that there's
been this little invention

that's called
street lamps.

Right.

Ooh.

Why don't we put it up here?

Yeah, the, uh...

the garbage and the rats
will be really impressed.

(Sighs)

Come here.

I say we do it where people
can actually see it.

All right.
You're on.

(Glass breaking)

(grunting) Oh.

(Grunting)

(yelling)

(clears throat)

Now... okay.

There must be a light

or a desk lamp
or something or...

(thudding)
Ow! Oh!

Oh.

A flashlight. Thank you.

(Buzzing)

Okay, not a flashlight.

All right.

(Sighs)

(sighs)

Okay.

(Sighing)

Oh.

(Panting)

Son of a bitch is married.

Okay, dude, you were right.

That looks
so good up there.

(Siren toots)

Run!

(Siren wailing)

(grunting)

(grunts)

(alarm sounding)
Oh, my...

(fabric tearing)
Oh!

Ohh!

Seriously?!

(Panting)

Over there.

(Siren wailing)

(sighs)
(laughs)

(both laughing)

Oh. Hi.

I was just taking inventory.

Come back tomorrow.

There's a sale on... handcuffs.

Oh, I see you brought your own.

Oh! You don't understand;
I really do work here.

I don't know your life, lady,
but I do know that

I come in here all the time
and I've never seen you.

O-Okay, Officer, please.

If I don't get out of here
right now and warn her,

my sister is going to make
a huge mistake.

Then call her
from the station.

Somebody's got to
post your bail.

No, if she finds
out I was arrested,

it'll blow my cover story,
and I'll look like an idiot.

You get one phone call;
Do what you have to do.

This is just stupid!

(Footsteps approaching)

(clears throat)

This is a
$40,000 bag?

Thirty-seven five.

You peeked.

Well, it's very,
very pretty,

but you have to
take it back.

Well, you know what that means.

I'm not wasting my time
with a guilt-ridden heiress.

Well, I'm not spending my time
with a self-indulgent jerk.

What was the whole point of
this little exercise, anyway?

To get me to admit that I'm not
comfortable with this money?

Fine. I admit it.

I want to earn what I have.

I want to build something that
is lasting and meaningful.

And not just so Marla's death
means something,

but so my life
means something, too.

Well, I happen to believe life
means something if you enjoy it.

And is that what
you're doing right now?

'Cause you just look
lonely and bored.

Look, I thought that

you helping me start
all this would make it easier,

but you know what?

Building something on my own

is going to be
that much more satisfying.

I still don't understand
why they would arrest you.

And why you were wearing this
when I called.

(Chuckles)

Well, I find it
keeps me sharp,

you know,
when I'm thinking about

hors d'oeuvres and menus and...

... other things.

Okay, I haven't been
completely honest.

I don't have an office,
I don't have employees.

I made all of this up because
I really wanted this job.

William, this is
incredibly embarrassing.

I hope you know I had
nothing to do with this.

And I hope this doesn't

ruin the rest of our evening.

No.

Jen, wait.

You know what, you're annoying,
you really are,

but you're my sister,
and I can't let you do this.

I believe that belongs to you.

I found it in
your wallet,

where you probably stuffed it
before our meeting.

(Clears throat)

Yeah.

I thought you said
that weren't married.

No, I said there was
no Mrs. Paddington.

My wife kept her maiden name.

Oh. Okay.

WILLIAM: Well...

Unfortunately, it looks like
none of our party planning

is going to work out
after all.

Yeah.

Y-You know what,
I think it will.

You're gonna let
my sister here

plan your silly little party,
or your wife is going to get

a very interesting
phone call from me.

(Clears throat)

(chuckles)

(waves lapping)

Hey.

Heard about NYU.

Congrats.

Thanks.

I actually just got
some good news, too.

I'm gonna be in a movie.

It's not a huge part,
but if it gets me noticed,

it's worth putting myself
out there.

Wow.

This is a whole new Liam.

Yeah.

I guess, ever since my accident,

I just want to not worry
about stuff so much.

You know? I want
to live every day

like it could be my last.

Wow, that sounds really morbid.

No, no, actually, it...
sounds like a good idea.

Why spend time
planning for a future

you might not even have?

Yeah, something like that.

Hmm.

You all right?

Absolutely.

I'm just saying, people should
live every day to the fullest,

no matter what.

I guess I'm just not sure yet
if that means going to NYU.

It's what I've wanted
for so long,

and now that I've got it, I...

I feel like
I don't know anything.

Hmm.

Well, you don't have to
figure everything out

right this second.

Not everything.

Hi.

Hey.

(Chuckles)

Look, I'm sorry
about the other day.

Okay, and I hope that you're not
still mad at me, because...

Um, well, this is actually
kind of embarrassing, uh...

Do you think that maybe you want
to give me my job back?

Ade, I can't do that.

- Oh.
- Not because I'm mad at you,

but because I actually
already gave your job away.

I'm, uh, I'm in this movie
that starts rehearsals today.

Wow.

Well, your auditions
must be going pretty well.

Actually, I didn't
even audition for this one.

Vanessa was at The Carrington,

and happened to bump
into the producer.

Wait, The Carrington?

Yeah, I guess
he had seen my billboards

and that rescue video,

and, uh, I don't know,

she somehow convinced him
that I'm the guy.

She's pretty amazing,
don't you think?

Yeah, she certainly seems to be.

- Why are you being so weird about
coming back down here? - I'm not.

You had fun, right?
Yeah, obviously it was exciting.

Okay, I just don't want
you getting the wrong idea.

I'm not ready to start coming
down here with you all the time

and, you know...

Oh, wow.

IVY: That looks amazing
in the light.

DIEGO: Well, you aren't
the only one that thinks so.

On second thought,

what are you doing tonight?

I cannot believe I get a
whole trailer, just for me.

Are you kidding me?
It's hideous.

It's fine.

I like shag carpet.

Liam, you are on
a bullet train to stardom.

She's right, this is major.

Finally, someone
around here who knows

what they're talking about.

All right,
I'm gonna speak to Lee

about getting you an upgrade.
Oh, my...

Liam, thank you so much

for getting me the
interview for this P.A. job.

I'm just glad it worked out,

- if this is what you really wanted.
- It is.

Why should I wait four years
to learn about filmmaking

in a classroom, when I can
actually start doing it?

Live the dream like
there's no tomorrow.

Well, it definitely
feels like a dream.

What do you want?

Six years ago,

I tried to start a magazine.

This very cutting-edge, brainy,

politically-minded thing,

that could not have been

a bigger flop.

I believe
my mother called it

the Dilettante Monthly.

Ouch.

Yeah.

Well, I tried to earn on my own,

and I failed.

And...

I've been afraid...

to be involved
with anything since.

But I don't know...

there's something
about your little project here

that I just don't want to see
you fail as miserably as I did.

Well, that is
very generous of you.

So, what do you say?

Do you want to be partners?

Good morning.

Morning.

I'm glad to see
you didn't sleep

in the God-awful
Catwoman costume.

(laughs) I almost had to.

It was so hard to get off.

Oh, my God, now I'm all itchy.

Naomi, you have
to be honest with me.

Is it really that hard

for you to get a job?

I mean, what was the point
of going to such extremes?

Maybe I just wanted
to do something

that would impress
you for once.

Come on.

Are you saying
that this was all about me?

No, of course not.

Oh, Naomi.

What do you want me to do,

give you a round of applause?

I think this whole little
business that you've created

is impressive.

I think this house that
you've bought is impressive.

And all these friends you have
who absolutely adore you...

I think it's
all very impressive.

You really mean that?

Yeah, I do.

Maybe if you weren't so intent
on finding a husband,

you could so something
with your life, too.

I mean, look at me.

I gave up chasing boys,

and now I channel
all of my energy

into a career.

I'm just saying...

you don't need a man,

and neither do I.

We can be a team.
(laughs)

Oh.

Oh, um, I'm here with Annie.

We're working
on a charity project together.

I'm Preston.

I'm Naomi Clark.

It's a pleasure to
meet you, Preston.

The pleasure's all mine.
