Red Oaks (2014–2017): Season 1, Episode 2 - Episode #1.2 - full transcript
- What? No way.
- Why not?
- Because he's a dick.
- Barry is harmless,
and it's really good money.
I don't care.
How good?
$75 for, like, three hours of work,
which is way more than I make
in a whole day at the club.
I don't know.
I just thought that you'd be
more into the idea, you know?
I mean, you're the one
who spent all last summer
saving up to buy a video camera
instead of a car like most guys.
Which I like, I really do...
not the part about you not having a car,
but the part about you
not being like most guys.
I think this thing with Barry
could be really good for you.
I mean, you are so smart,
and you are so creative.
And who knows where it could lead, right?
Like, today, yes, weddings,
and tomorrow? Corporate events.
So just promise me that
you'll talk to Barry about it.
Okay.
Thank you.

$2,800.
[chatter over radio]
For this price we could
have spent a week in Aruba.
- [radio off]
- Listen, you're alive.
I don't know how we're going to pay for it.
For your next heart
attack, you can go to Aruba?
I'll tell you one way we could cut corners.
They're never not fighting. It's amazing.
- Important it is to me.
- Come here, come here.
- I...
- Come here.
- Seriously.
- Give your old man a hand.
- Hey, Dad.
- Hey, honey.
- Hi, Mr. Myers.
- Hey.
Hey, who else is hungry for waffles, huh?
- Ignore him.
- Waffles!
Not pancakes. Waffles.
You know, fine. Eat whatever you want.
Drop dead. See if I care.
Sweetheart, do me a favor.
When you get married, don't become a nag.
- [chuckle]
- Come on.
- You okay?
- Good. You good?
Yeah. I could have used two
more days in the hospital.
That would have been a vacation.
That would have been nice.

Nasser.
Skip.
Ah, Mr. Getty.
Nasser. Oh...
You're wasting your time with the ponies.
It's the stock market
you should be playing.
- Oh?
- Dow's taking off like a rocket.
Like the fucking space shuttle.
Nobody knows how high it's going to go.
Oh, it's going to break 1500 by year's end.
You mark my words.
You got any hot stock tips?
Uhh.
Three crack.
Don't you dare pick it up.
I'll never talk to you again.
- [laughter]
- That might be a blessing.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, ladies, picture day.
Oh, we love picture day.
Who's going to be on the
cover of this newsletter?
There's one way to get on the cover.
You got to show me a little skin.
I'm the mahjong maven.
Uh, but I'm going to be the cover girl.
Hey, hey, can I talk to you a minute?
Tick-tock.
Karen says you're looking
to hire someone to help video weddings.
And bar mitzvahs, the occasional bris.
Of course, those are just for starters.
I'm building my business.
I got a five year plan. Why do you ask?
Because I'm pretty good with a camcorder.
And I'm interested.
You got a reel?
Huh?
You got a reel of your work?
Uh, not really,
just a few old Super 8 films
I made back in high school.
I've been talking to a guy who's in a band
about making a rock video,
but we haven't gotten
around to doing it yet.
Well, get around to it,
and then you and I can parlay.
Capisce?
West?
Ooh. This is where the action is.
- Hiya, girls.
- And I'm jokerless.
Mm. Now, that's a Caesar.
Ah, yes.
Bears and bulls,
the two strongest animals.
You invest?
A man would be a fool not to,
the way this market has taken off.
Mark my words, boychik.
By the end of the year,
the Dow will have hit 1500 points,
and when that happens...
What happens?
I don't know.
But you can bet that whatever it is,
it'll be glorious.
Get a white wine spritzer.
Hey. I got to book a
few hours with you later.
Excuse me?
6:00 at my home.
I assume you have some
sort of transportation,
you got a skateboard,
pogo stick, big boy bike.
Sure, yeah, I do, but, uh...
Okay, then. Terrific. There's the address.
Don't be late. We got to be done by 9,
and my associate's got
to get back into the city.
Uh, Mr. Getty?
Sorry. I'm confused.
What exactly am I doing in your home?
We're going to watch "Falcon Crest"
and whack each other off.
We're playing doubles.
Do you have plans?
Just going to hang out with my girlfriend.
Well, now you're not. Make it up to her.
Heh. That putz.
My hearing aid battery must be going.
Of course, it sounded like
he ordered a wine spritzer.
- He did.
- Oh.
Was he recovering from a hysterectomy?
[laughing]
My name's Herb, by the way.
David.
David. Nice to meet you.
Shall we go for a drink?
- Sure.
- Come on.
[toilet flushes]
Ohh!
Nash.
Good morning, gentlemen.
Ah, enjoying the breakfast
of champions, I see.
Do you want a bomb?
No, thank you.
I've got to teach a children's clinic.
Although I do have to
teach a children's clinic.
No. I've got to teach a children's clinic.
Children are our future.
[sniff]
Mm-mm!
Yeah!
So what do you do when
you're not teaching tennis?
I go to NYU.
Oh. What are you studying?
I haven't declared a major yet.
Mostly I've been taking accounting classes.
Why accounting?
Thanks. Well, my dad says
the only two things in
life that are certain
are death and taxes,
so if I want job security,
I should become a mortician or a CPA.
[chuckle] He's not wrong.
I don't know. I just wish
my accounting classes
didn't put me to sleep.
You know what my dad wanted me to be?
What?
A proctologist.
What did you end up becoming?
A proctologist.
I hated every day of it.
I couldn't wait to retire.
I longed for the day
when I could stop staring up assholes.
♪ I've got a long night ahead of me ♪
Hey, Misty.
Hey.
I have a question to ask you.
Okay.
What are you doing at 5:45?
I'm getting off work.
Would you like to meet me
at the golf cart parking garage?
I have a little surprise planned.
What is it?
That's for me to know
and for you to find out.
Man: There you go.
Getty: Almost prompt.
Hey. This is a beautiful place.
[scoffs] Yeah.
What are you... Are you
wearing a club shirt?
Uh, yeah. Well, I came straight from work.
Did you bring a change of clothes?
I did.
Well, go put them on in the pool house.
And hurry up 'cause they're
going to be here any second.
Okay.
Don't fuck up the grass!
Can you lift that?
A little higher. Good boy.
[door opens]
I'm sorry. Uh, you're, uh...
I didn't know y... y...
you... that you were...
What are you doing in here?
Your dad told me to change, so...
Well, don't let me stop you.
Can I have some privacy?
No.
Well, um, could you hand me my bag, please?
Thanks.
You have an interesting body.
Thanks.
That was an observation, not a compliment.
Your stuff reminds me a
little of Alice Neel's.
[laughing]
I see someone has taken
an art history class.
Uh-huh. Freshman year.
As it so happens, I, uh,
I am a big Alice Neel fan.
Her portraits are so feral.
She does... Ah, she has this great one
of Jackie Curtis. He's
the cross-dresser from...
Lou Reed's "Walk On the Wild Side."
Yeah, it's amazing.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's a good one.
It is a good one.
Yeah.
Well, they taught you a lot in that class.
Yeah. Uh, I should... I should go.
You're getting your money's worth. Sure.
Have fun with my father.
Tha... Uh, thanks. You, too,
with your paintings of dicks.
Hey, foxy.
Hi.
Brought you an Orange Julius.
That was really sweet of you.
You didn't have to do that.
Full day's supply of vitamin C.
Well, thanks.
Mm. This is really good.
Yeah. Yum-yummy in that tummy, huh?
[camera shutter clicks]
What are you doing?
Taking pictures for the newsletter.
No, no, no. No, no. Not of me, please.
I am so gross and sweaty. I... No.
Yeah, you are. You're perfect.
Come on. Hold that pose.
[click]
Pout your bottom lip out more.
What, like this?
- [click]
- Yeah, just like that.
[click]
"Georgeous."
- Hey.
- Hey.
Nice wheels.
For the next half hour,
it's yours, my lady.
What?
Today is the day you finally
learn to parallel park.
It's really nothing super fancy.
I just prepared an
instructional simulation,
using these battery-powered
vehicles. No big deal.
You look amazing,
like, better than the last time I saw you
an hour ago.
Are you high?
Not yet.
Don't be afraid.
Fear is just an illusion.
The greatest of all, according to Lao Tzu
of the Tao Te Ching.
What are you talking about?
I can't believe I'm doing this.
What's that song you're listening to?
That "Money For Nothing
And Your Chick's For Free"?
- Love that.
- Right?
- There you go.
- Not too bad.
Hey. Come on. I want
you to meet my associate
Martin Van Deen. This is his son...
- Brett.
- Brett.
It's my nephew David.
Martin: Visiting for the summer?
Uh, David's interning at my firm.
- Is that right?
- You bet.
What do you think of the trading desk?
- Huh?
- Yeah.
It's been, uh, intense.
First time at a trading desk
is worse than rushing my fraternity.
- Oh, yeah.
- All right, gentlemen,
what do you say we get started?
- You're on.
- All right?
Let's go.
Nephew?
Just go with it.
How much money is riding on this?
Excuse me?
If I'm going to be an accomplice
to hustling these guys,
I'd like to know how much
we're taking them for.
Listen to me, you little pisher.
I made seven figures last year.
I don't have to hustle anybody.
We play for a case of Bordeaux
and bragging rights. That's it.
We never play for money. We have scruples.
This isn't golf. Just... Just play.

That nearly killed me out there.
You fellas got time for a drink?
- Well, a quickie.
- All right.
Come here. You're my brother Marvin's kid.
You live outside Philly.
Your old man's always
been a disappointment,
so you kind of look up
to me as a father figure.
Have one drink, make
an excuse, and then go.
- You got it?
- Yeah.
All right. Hey, fellas,
I got to show you something.
Do you like Matisse?
Uh, who's Matisse?
I think you're ready to
try it in the real world.
What do you say? Travel to Hoboken,
find a side street to practice.
You mean like tonight?
Like right now.
Oh. Yeah. Uh, no. I... I can't.
I... You know Steve, he has band practice,
and he likes me to be there, so...
That's cool. Are they any good?
Um...
I don't think you'd be into them.
Really?
I'm not even sure I'm into them.
Who am I kidding?
What kind of music are you into?
Like...
all kinds, I think.
Yeah. I don't know. Whatever's on.
Do you like Roxy music?
I don't know. Who's that?
Are you kidding? Roxy music.
Who?
- Don't go anywhere, okay?
- Okay.
What, this is good?
One of the best ever recorded.
Roxy music. Okay.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
I should go now.
Okay.
Thanks again.
Okay.
Martin: Where are you going to school?
- NYU.
- What are you studying?
Accounting.
Uh, finance.
Uh, yeah. Accounting and finance.
Yeah, he's double majoring.
Impressive.
Brett, here,
going to Wharton in the fall.
- Good for you.
- Yeah.
Sweetheart, what, uh,
what are you doing here?
I thought you were out with Mommy.
I got bored and left her at the mall.
Oh. Oh.
- How was your game?
- We got creamed.
Your cousin here has a wicked serve.
- He's got the eye of the tiger.
- Hey, cuz.
That's it. He's like, uh,
he's like Billie Jean King out there.
Um, hello.
Uh, you know what, sweetie?
Would you mind? Will you fix us up
some cheese and crackers or something?
Corn chips or something? Pretzels?
I'd get them myself, but
I'm already sitting down.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
I'm going to give my cousin a hand.
Okay. That's a good idea.
His father's my older brother Marvin.
Bit of a putz.
Let me guess.
My father told them that you are his nephew
in order to disguise the fact
that you're actually a ringer.
Uh, something like that.
And you agreed to this?
Hey, what choice do I have?
He could have me fired.
Plus, the money's good.
What's he paying you?
50 an hour.
You shouldn't settle for any less than 100.
Tell that to your dad.
No.
You're going to.
Don't you see?
You've got him by the balls,
and all you got to do now is squeeze.
You know what I'm not a fan of?
Change. I don't like it.
- At this point, let's leave every...
- Morals.
Let's leave it how we have it.
- Mmm-hmm. Right?
- I like what we've got now.
Why does everything have to change?
You make a good point.
I'm gonna bring it up at the next meeting.
Let's leave everything as it is.
- [laughing]
- Pull up the ladder, baby.
Hey, can I talk to you a second?
Do you see we're in the
middle of something here?
No, you know what? I got
to go to the john anyhow.
God bless the Cubans. Jesus.
What?
I want a hundred an hour, not 50.
I beg your pardon?
- My fee?
- Yeah.
I want a hundred.
What do you mean, 100?
You agreed. We agree...
Yeah, to be your doubles
partner, not your nephew.
Oh, so it's more to be my nephew?
I didn't realize that.
What the hell do you care?
You're never going to see Marty
or his smiling kid again.
I... Well, I don't like lying.
Hmm.
But you're okay with extortion.
100 is fair.
But shortsighted.
What do you mean?
Well, you could have left here tonight
with something a lot more valuable:
me owing you a favor.
You take it.
Take the money.

Hey, kiddo.
Hey. What are you doing?
Just enjoying the nice night.
You were sneaking a cigarette, weren't you?
Don't tell your mom.
So where you coming from?
The club president's house.
He hired me to play doubles
against some business associates.
Getty's got a tennis court?
I don't even know why he
needs to belong to Red Oaks.
For the contacts. He
doesn't worry about dues.
A guy like that, he wipes his
ass with that kind of money.
And not every deal is done in a boardroom.
Do it on a golf course or over martinis.
And it's a write-off.
Hey, look who's coming.
How much he pay you?
300 bucks.
$300.
Oh, well, I hope you're saving most of it
because you never know when life
is going to throw you a curveball.
I swear, one day you're riding high,
next day...
you're looking at a $2,800 hospital bill.
Don't worry, Dad. I'm saving.
Hi, Mr. Myers.
Hey, look at you.
You're a vision in denim.
Don't be a dummy. Marry this girl.
Oh, hi, kids. I'm glad you're here.
Well, supper's ready, so come on in.
What are we having?
Uh, cottage cheese and salad.
Great, great. Do me a favor.
Put a dollop of cyanide
on that, will you, please?
Hey, uh, by the way,
I talked to Barry about the job.
Oh, you did?
Yeah. He didn't hire me yet.
He needs to see some of my work.
I think I'm going to talk to Steve LeFevre
about, you know,
maybe making a music video for his band.
Awesome.
Uh, can I tell you something
and you promise you won't get mad?
So I was talking to Barry,
you know, about modeling,
and, um, he says that I have a look
that he thinks that magazine
editors would really go for.
He said that, uh, he'd help
me put together a portfolio
and meet people if that was
something that I'd be interested in.
And are you? Interested?
Well, I wanted to talk to
you about it first, so...
That could be great.
- Really?
- I mean, yeah.
How amazing would it
be to live in the city,
riding the subway everywhere,
eating Indian food,
seeing Éric Rohmer movies
in an actual theater?
I mean, it would be amazing.
I don't want to live in the city.
I mean, my school's out here, you know,
and all of our families and our friends,
and the city's really gross.
How are you going to pursue a
modeling career from the burbs?
You need to be...
I don't want a real modeling career.
It's just something to do on the side
while I'm finishing my RN.
You know Annika from my
school? She's the tall one.
Okay, well, she made $200 last month
for a J.C. Penney circular,
and I guess she's in the
running for a Payless campaign.
She has pretty feet, but it just
would be good money on the side.
Judy: Coming in?
Thank you for being so supportive.
I'm really lucky to have you.

which is way more than I make
in a whole day at the club.
I don't know.
I just thought that you'd be

Oh. What are you studying?
I haven't declared a major yet.
Mostly I've been taking accounting classes.
Why accounting?
Thanks. Well, my dad says
the only two things in
life that are certain
are death and taxes,
so if I want job security,
I should become a mortician or a CPA.
[chuckle] He's not wrong.
I don't know. I just wish
my accounting classes
didn't put me to sleep.
You know what my dad wanted me to be?
What?
A proctologist.
What did you end up becoming?
A proctologist.
I hated every day of it.
I couldn't wait to retire.
I longed for the day
when I could stop staring up assholes.
♪ I've got a long night ahead of me ♪
Hey, Misty.
Hey.
I have a question to ask you.
Okay.
What are you doing at 5:45?
I'm getting off work.
Would you like to meet me
at the golf cart parking garage?
I have a little surprise planned.
What is it?
That's for me to know
and for you to find out.
Man: There you go.
Getty: Almost prompt.
Hey. This is a beautiful place.
[scoffs] Yeah.
What are you... Are you
wearing a club shirt?
Uh, yeah. Well, I came straight from work.
Did you bring a change of clothes?
I did.
Well, go put them on in the pool house.
And hurry up 'cause they're
going to be here any second.
Okay.
Don't fuck up the grass!
Can you lift that?
A little higher. Good boy.
[door opens]
I'm sorry. Uh, you're, uh...
I didn't know y... y...
you... that you were...
What are you doing in here?
Your dad told me to change, so...
Well, don't let me stop you.
Can I have some privacy?
No.
Well, um, could you hand me my bag, please?
Thanks.
You have an interesting body.
Thanks.
That was an observation, not a compliment.
Your stuff reminds me a
little of Alice Neel's.
[laughing]
I see someone has taken
an art history class.
Uh-huh. Freshman year.
As it so happens, I, uh,
I am a big Alice Neel fan.
Her portraits are so feral.
She does... Ah, she has this great one
of Jackie Curtis. He's
the cross-dresser from...
Lou Reed's "Walk On the Wild Side."
Yeah, it's amazing.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's a good one.
It is a good one.
Yeah.
Well, they taught you a lot in that class.
Yeah. Uh, I should... I should go.
You're getting your money's worth. Sure.
Have fun with my father.
Tha... Uh, thanks. You, too,
with your paintings of dicks.
Hey, foxy.
Hi.
Brought you an Orange Julius.
That was really sweet of you.
You didn't have to do that.
Full day's supply of vitamin C.
Well, thanks.
Mm. This is really good.
Yeah. Yum-yummy in that tummy, huh?
[camera shutter clicks]
What are you doing?
Taking pictures for the newsletter.
No, no, no. No, no. Not of me, please.
I am so gross and sweaty. I... No.
Yeah, you are. You're perfect.
Come on. Hold that pose.
[click]
Pout your bottom lip out more.
What, like this?
- [click]
- Yeah, just like that.
[click]
"Georgeous."
- Hey.
- Hey.
Nice wheels.
For the next half hour,
it's yours, my lady.
What?
Today is the day you finally
learn to parallel park.
It's really nothing super fancy.
I just prepared an
instructional simulation,
using these battery-powered
vehicles. No big deal.
You look amazing,
like, better than the last time I saw you
an hour ago.
Are you high?
Not yet.
Don't be afraid.
Fear is just an illusion.
The greatest of all, according to Lao Tzu
of the Tao Te Ching.
What are you talking about?
I can't believe I'm doing this.
What's that song you're listening to?
That "Money For Nothing
And Your Chick's For Free"?
- Love that.
- Right?
- There you go.
- Not too bad.
Hey. Come on. I want
you to meet my associate
Martin Van Deen. This is his son...
- Brett.
- Brett.
It's my nephew David.
Martin: Visiting for the summer?
Uh, David's interning at my firm.
- Is that right?
- You bet.
What do you think of the trading desk?
- Huh?
- Yeah.
It's been, uh, intense.
First time at a trading desk
is worse than rushing my fraternity.
- Oh, yeah.
- All right, gentlemen,
what do you say we get started?
- You're on.
- All right?
Let's go.
Nephew?
Just go with it.
How much money is riding on this?
Excuse me?
If I'm going to be an accomplice
to hustling these guys,
I'd like to know how much
we're taking them for.
Listen to me, you little pisher.
I made seven figures last year.
I don't have to hustle anybody.
We play for a case of Bordeaux
and bragging rights. That's it.
We never play for money. We have scruples.
This isn't golf. Just... Just play.

You fellas got time for a drink?
- Well, a quickie.
- All right.
Come here. You're my brother Marvin's kid.
You live outside Philly.
Your old man's always
been a disappointment,
so you kind of look up
to me as a father figure.
Have one drink, make
an excuse, and then go.
- You got it?
- Yeah.
All right. Hey, fellas,
I got to show you something.
Do you like Matisse?
Uh, who's Matisse?
I think you're ready to
try it in the real world.
What do you say? Travel to Hoboken,
find a side street to practice.
You mean like tonight?
Like right now.
Oh. Yeah. Uh, no. I... I can't.
I... You know Steve, he has band practice,
and he likes me to be there, so...
That's cool. Are they any good?
Um...
I don't think you'd be into them.
Really?
I'm not even sure I'm into them.
Who am I kidding?
What kind of music are you into?
Like...
all kinds, I think.
Yeah. I don't know. Whatever's on.
Do you like Roxy music?
I don't know. Who's that?
Are you kidding? Roxy music.
Who?
- Don't go anywhere, okay?
- Okay.
What, this is good?
One of the best ever recorded.
Roxy music. Okay.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
I should go now.
Okay.
Thanks again.
Okay.
Martin: Where are you going to school?
- NYU.
- What are you studying?
Accounting.
Uh, finance.
Uh, yeah. Accounting and finance.
Yeah, he's double majoring.
Impressive.
Brett, here,
going to Wharton in the fall.
- Good for you.
- Yeah.
Sweetheart, what, uh,
what are you doing here?
I thought you were out with Mommy.
I got bored and left her at the mall.
Oh. Oh.
- How was your game?
- We got creamed.
Your cousin here has a wicked serve.
- He's got the eye of the tiger.
- Hey, cuz.
That's it. He's like, uh,
he's like Billie Jean King out there.
Um, hello.
Uh, you know what, sweetie?
Would you mind? Will you fix us up
some cheese and crackers or something?
Corn chips or something? Pretzels?
I'd get them myself, but
I'm already sitting down.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
I'm going to give my cousin a hand.
Okay. That's a good idea.
His father's my older brother Marvin.
Bit of a putz.
Let me guess.
My father told them that you are his nephew
in order to disguise the fact
that you're actually a ringer.
Uh, something like that.
And you agreed to this?
Hey, what choice do I have?
He could have me fired.
Plus, the money's good.
What's he paying you?
50 an hour.
You shouldn't settle for any less than 100.
Tell that to your dad.
No.
You're going to.
Don't you see?
You've got him by the balls,
and all you got to do now is squeeze.
You know what I'm not a fan of?
Change. I don't like it.
- At this point, let's leave every...
- Morals.
Let's leave it how we have it.
- Mmm-hmm. Right?
- I like what we've got now.
Why does everything have to change?
You make a good point.
I'm gonna bring it up at the next meeting.
Let's leave everything as it is.
- [laughing]
- Pull up the ladder, baby.
Hey, can I talk to you a second?
Do you see we're in the
middle of something here?
No, you know what? I got
to go to the john anyhow.
God bless the Cubans. Jesus.
What?
I want a hundred an hour, not 50.
I beg your pardon?
- My fee?
- Yeah.
I want a hundred.
What do you mean, 100?
You agreed. We agree...
Yeah, to be your doubles
partner, not your nephew.
Oh, so it's more to be my nephew?
I didn't realize that.
What the hell do you care?
You're never going to see Marty
or his smiling kid again.
I... Well, I don't like lying.
Hmm.
But you're okay with extortion.
100 is fair.
But shortsighted.
What do you mean?
Well, you could have left here tonight
with something a lot more valuable:
me owing you a favor.
You take it.
Take the money.

Hey, kiddo.
Hey. What are you doing?
Just enjoying the nice night.
You were sneaking a cigarette, weren't you?
Don't tell your mom.
So where you coming from?
The club president's house.
He hired me to play doubles
against some business associates.
Getty's got a tennis court?
I don't even know why he
needs to belong to Red Oaks.
For the contacts. He
doesn't worry about dues.
A guy like that, he wipes his
ass with that kind of money.
And not every deal is done in a boardroom.
Do it on a golf course or over martinis.
And it's a write-off.
Hey, look who's coming.
How much he pay you?
300 bucks.
$300.
Oh, well, I hope you're saving most of it
because you never know when life
is going to throw you a curveball.
I swear, one day you're riding high,
next day...
you're looking at a $2,800 hospital bill.
Don't worry, Dad. I'm saving.
Hi, Mr. Myers.
Hey, look at you.
You're a vision in denim.
Don't be a dummy. Marry this girl.
Oh, hi, kids. I'm glad you're here.
Well, supper's ready, so come on in.
What are we having?
Uh, cottage cheese and salad.
Great, great. Do me a favor.
Put a dollop of cyanide
on that, will you, please?
Hey, uh, by the way,
I talked to Barry about the job.
Oh, you did?
Yeah. He didn't hire me yet.
He needs to see some of my work.
I think I'm going to talk to Steve LeFevre
about, you know,
maybe making a music video for his band.
Awesome.
Uh, can I tell you something
and you promise you won't get mad?
So I was talking to Barry,
you know, about modeling,
and, um, he says that I have a look
that he thinks that magazine
editors would really go for.
He said that, uh, he'd help
me put together a portfolio
and meet people if that was
something that I'd be interested in.
And are you? Interested?
Well, I wanted to talk to
you about it first, so...
That could be great.
- Really?
- I mean, yeah.
How amazing would it
be to live in the city,
riding the subway everywhere,
eating Indian food,
seeing Éric Rohmer movies
in an actual theater?
I mean, it would be amazing.
I don't want to live in the city.
I mean, my school's out here, you know,
and all of our families and our friends,
and the city's really gross.
How are you going to pursue a
modeling career from the burbs?
You need to be...
I don't want a real modeling career.
It's just something to do on the side
while I'm finishing my RN.
You know Annika from my
school? She's the tall one.
Okay, well, she made $200 last month
for a J.C. Penney circular,
and I guess she's in the
running for a Payless campaign.
She has pretty feet, but it just
would be good money on the side.
Judy: Coming in?
Thank you for being so supportive.
I'm really lucky to have you.
