00:00Really?
00:02Laid out in baskets and everything?
00:04Well, that's not the hallmark of a classy joint, I don't know what it is.
00:08Well, you do definitely know how to treat a lady.
00:12I gotta spend my money on something.
00:16Oh, that came out totally wrong.
00:18Because you are not something that I just would spend money on.
00:22It's not like a possession.
00:24But I would. I would. And I do.
00:26Well, why do you think I'm with you?
00:31Okay.
00:34How's work going, Face?
00:37It's going really well, thank you.
00:39I got a promotion, actually.
00:42Really? To what?
00:44I don't know. There's no title.
00:46But I get an office, and I get a secretary. That's kind of cool.
00:50Oooh.
00:51Yeah.
00:52Fancy.
00:54You certainly won't want to talk to me after tonight.
00:57Sorry.
00:59See? I knew you would understand.
01:02Don't kick a girl when she's down, you know?
01:05I'm strapped for cash, and they cut my hours because everyone's on spring break drinking elsewhere.
01:11I guess that means you're free for dinner next Saturday.
01:16Well, anything for a free pill.
01:20A classy lady like you I might even throw in a free dessert.
01:24You must be serious about me.
01:27I am.
01:37Okay. Well, I think that's my cue.
01:41I'm just going to cut my losses.
01:48I'll have my secretary call you about dinner.
01:50PC, I had a lovely time.
01:54So did I.
01:58Goodnight.
01:59Goodnight.
02:24My feet have left the ground. My life is turning around.
02:32Every voice inside my head is telling me to run like mad.
02:40Oh, poles and arrows, stars and sunsets.
02:45Hey, hey, hey, yeah. Hey, hey, hey, yeah.
02:50Every heartbeat, every kiss just makes me wonder
02:56what all this is.
02:58Suits of armor, parts and barrels.
03:02Hey, hey, hey, yeah.
03:05Hey.
03:17And then sunshine.
03:21Where's Grace?
03:23She's downstairs stirring porridge.
03:29Really? Shall we then?
03:33Shall we what?
03:36Oh, sure.
03:39Shall we that?
03:41Yeah, that.
03:43Yeah.
03:48No?
03:49No.
03:51I really don't know.
03:53No, we need to move.
03:58What?
03:59Nothing an old toothpaste won't fix.
04:01Oh, fine then. Don't kiss me. See if I care.
04:06Not so sexy when you're pouting.
04:14Do you know how many of these were in here when I brought them?
04:18Twelve.
04:19Mm-hmm. I'm gonna meet her in here now.
04:21Twelve.
04:26I haven't had sex in a week.
04:29I haven't had sex in a week, John.
04:31That's hardly true.
04:33Not since Grams went to bingo. That was a week ago today.
04:37When am I sex on a stick? I'm not a boy.
04:40I don't have the same kind of sex drive that you do, all right?
04:45Not to mention the fact that I live in mortal terror of my Grams walking in on us
04:50in the middle of some ungodly act, so maybe that helps you to understand
04:54why I'm not jumping your bones every chance I get.
04:58Wow. That is true what they say.
05:02What?
05:03Once you start dating, sex goes right out the window.
05:06You are such a drama queen.
05:11You know, there are other ways for us to be intimate.
05:17I'm all for that stuff.
05:19Yeah, it's all right.
05:21Well, come on.
05:27Come on.
05:33Is this what you're talking about, snuggling?
05:36Yeah.
05:41What did you think I was talking about?
05:46Nothing.
05:58Let me check around.
06:00Hey, Joe.
06:02Oh.
06:03Hi.
06:04What do I owe this honor?
06:06I brought you an office warming gift.
06:09You won't get in trouble for having visitors, will you?
06:12No, no.
06:13How did you stop distracting the boys?
06:15Want to step into my office?
06:18Sure.
06:20So, everyone's just on the phone. Is this what you do all day?
06:23Well, it's a little more complicated than that. Can I grab those?
06:26Thanks, Tom.
06:28So, what makes you so busy now that you need an assistant?
06:32I don't know, but to tell you the truth, you can't freak me out.
06:37Marcy?
06:38Hi. I'd like to introduce you to my friend, Joe.
06:41Nice to meet you.
06:42FYI for you, Mr. Whitter, the meeting's been pushed to three, and Mr. Rinaldi's in your office,
06:47and when you have a moment, I'd like a word.
06:50A word?
06:51Don't patronize me, Mr. Whitter.
06:54I'm sorry, ma'am, I won't.
06:57You can talk now, if you like.
06:59Fine, Mr. Whitter. If you must know, Mr. Rinaldi fired me, and I'll be leaving at the end of the day.
07:10Just breaking it in for you.
07:15Oh, who's the looker?
07:19You do realize that I'm standing right here?
07:22And you do realize that was a compliment, right?
07:27Rich, this is Joey.
07:29Joey, you remember Rich.
07:31And Rich, why is it exactly that you fired my secretary?
07:34Well, uh, she tried to kick me out of your office.
07:37But doesn't that deserve a raise?
07:39You know, I didn't like her attitude, Whitter.
07:42Or the cut of her jib, for that matter.
07:44You can just fire somebody because you don't like the way they look?
07:48Isn't that discrimination?
07:51Is she Human Resources?
07:53No, no, no, she's a friend of mine.
07:59So, uh, why aren't you in school today?
08:02I'm on spring break.
08:04What do you do nine to five, Johnny?
08:06Joey.
08:09Nothing at the moment.
08:12Nothing at the moment. Um...
08:15I say, you spend the next two weeks filling in here.
08:19You know how to play office, right?
08:22Why don't you set that up, Whitter?
08:28T's kidding, right?
08:30Rich? No, he doesn't really have much of a sense of humor.
08:35Well, how much does it pay?
08:38I don't know. I think it's like 600 bucks a week.
08:41Are you serious?
08:44Would you actually want to do it?
08:46Well, you have to admit, Pace, I mean, it is perfect timing.
08:49I'm broke. We never see each other anymore.
08:52Yeah, but hanging out by the coffee machine is not exactly a date, now is it?
08:56Who's kidding who, Pace?
08:59Now, we both know that the boss doesn't hang out by the coffee machine.
09:05That would be the assistant's job.
09:08And you're sure you'd be comfortable with the whole boss-secretary power relationship?
09:14We both know who's boss here.
09:22Uh, well, okay, yeah, I mean, what's the worst that could happen, right?
09:25Barring me taking over the company, nothing.
09:29How fun is this gonna be?
09:36It's about a lot of things.
09:39But more than anything, it's about what it feels like to be 15.
09:44By the time you're laughing, everything's new and you're constantly on the edge of a broken heart.
09:48I mean, you should be stylized and operatic and...
09:52And?
09:55I'd like to direct it.
09:58Whoa, Junior. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
10:01Walk before you run.
10:04Okay.
10:07What do you think?
10:10I like it. I do.
10:13And I think your passion for it is great. It's just...
10:16What?
10:19It's a little soft.
10:22And in case you haven't noticed, we don't really do softer on here.
10:25We do exploitation.
10:28Larry learned everything he knows from Roger Corman.
10:31He's a pain. Unless there's a minimum of three nude scenes, he'd give you luck like you just smelled a fart.
10:35Okay, that's all well and good, but I'm not sure I know how to make that movie.
10:38My advice to you? Just play up the sex.
10:41He'll understand that.
10:44What makes this pitch so interesting and unique is the fact that it's this epic love story without the sex.
10:49I'll let you in on a little secret.
10:52Larry Newman is the horniest man alive.
10:55A world-class pervert.
10:58He's on his third wife. She's 23.
11:01And done a lot of work in the Valley, if you know what I mean.
11:04Which doesn't seem to stop him from coveting my rack, mind you.
11:08I'm so sorry. It must be terrible to work in an environment like that.
11:13Please.
11:16You've been staring at the twins for the past 20 minutes.
11:19Not that I mind, of course.
11:22They are fantastic.
11:25And worth every penny.
11:30What's my point?
11:33I don't know.
11:36My point is, if you want to make a movie with us,
11:39find a way to tell your story while still appealing to the lowest common denominator.
11:44Pitch Larry the same thing you pitched me, only throw in a stripper.
11:48A three-way.
11:51With a teacher or something.
11:58I can do that.
12:14Helpline, this is Jen speaking.
12:18Are you sure that that's actually a problem?
12:21Because, speaking as a girl,
12:24whose boyfriend wants to copulate every waking moment of the day,
12:28I would actually welcome the break.
12:31I mean, I appreciate the enthusiasm, it's just, it's a little exhausting.
12:35Disposition that position, you want my legs where?
12:41I mean, I can't even wear a skirt anymore without him taking it as an invitation.
12:46That is an invitation to hike it up.
12:49Hey, Witter. Nicely done.
12:52Nicely done indeed.
12:55What are you talking about? The new hire.
13:01Joe, I gotta go.
13:07Morning, Gnace.
13:09Morning.
13:13Excuse me.
13:18Are these guys bothering you?
13:21Oh, they may be trying to, but I can't exactly tell.
13:26Did any of you go to college?
13:29We're just showing her the ropes, basically.
13:32Are you comfortable, Joey? This seems a little high.
13:35Oh, oh, whoa.
13:38That's super. Thank you.
13:41Well, great. I'm glad we got that all fixed up.
13:44But seeing as this is my secretary,
13:46why don't you guys all go back to your office temp?
13:49It's not important right now.
13:51What's important, she's not going to be here long, so don't get too attached.
13:56Bye-bye.
13:59All right, bye. See you.
14:02Pander creeps.
14:05Sorry about that.
14:12What is this?
14:15Oh, well, that's your office warming gift.
14:18You forgot to open it yesterday.
14:20I thought since now you're a true professional
14:23and you have an office of your own
14:25that you deserve pointless gadgets to stick on your desk.
14:28Oh, thank you, Miss Ponder. That's very thoughtful of you.
14:31Well, I am the best assistant ever.
14:34Of course you are.
14:38You know, when I got here this morning,
14:41you forgot to make the coffee,
14:43and I'd like to start the morning with a cup.
14:46Right, well, you were a chef, right?
14:49I mean, you can make it yourself.
14:56Sure, yeah. Could you run this down to Tom, please?
14:59Sure.
15:03Are you sure you need to find a replacement?
15:06She's got another job, and she's in school,
15:09and most importantly, she's unavailable, Rich.
15:12All right, okay.
15:14I'll tell you the truth, the whole thing's becoming a bit of a debacle.
15:17I got here this morning, the guys were all over her desk.
15:20Like that's not going to happen with anything remotely female.
15:23And she's also my friend, which makes it a little awkward
15:26when I'm trying to tell her what to do.
15:28You got to get yourself together, man.
15:30There's a reporter coming in to talk to us later,
15:33and I don't want you to be snotting all over your tie
15:36because you haven't had a nonfat cafe mocha latte grande whatever.
15:41Reported for who?
15:44I don't know, some chick from the financials section
15:47to discuss our little up-and-coming company here.
15:50See the big boys playing and whatnot.
15:53Cool. Yes, well, you better straighten up,
15:56because it seems like this broad is interested in you
15:59in particular, rising to the top in record time or something.
16:03Really? She wants to talk to me, huh?
16:06Seriously, it's the financials section. Who reads that?
16:16So she wants to talk to you?
16:21Are you eavesdropping?
16:23Well, yes, I'm your assistant.
16:26It's my job, it's what I do.
16:29Huh.
16:44Hey.
16:46Hey.
16:48Did you get me one?
16:50I didn't know you wanted one.
16:52You're gonna be my boyfriend.
16:54Yeah, right. Good one, John.
16:58So I still don't know what CJ stands for,
17:01but maybe the C stands for crabby?
17:05What's the matter?
17:11Nothing.
17:15Nothing.
17:17That's it?
17:20I don't like you using our problems in the bedroom to help other people.
17:25Oh, well, first of all, I wasn't aware that we had problems in the bedroom.
17:30And second of all, why not?
17:34Forget it.
17:38Is this about sex?
17:41Pretty much, yeah.
17:43Okay.
17:46But, you know, if some girl called up
17:48and said that her boyfriend was pressuring her into having sex,
17:52she would slip on your very best, Dr. Drew,
17:54and you would tell her not to stand for it.
17:56Look, if what you told me about your past is true,
17:59then I'm guessing what I don't understand
18:01is why the creeps and the scumbags who treated you so poorly
18:04got the benefit of your sex drive.
18:06Whereas guys like me, who actually treat you fairly well,
18:10we get ridiculed for wanting to have sex with you.
18:15Well, kudos to you, CJ.
18:17That is the nicest way that anybody's ever called me a slut.
18:21What are you talking about?
18:23Basically, what you're saying is if I can be a slut for other guys,
18:26why can't I be a slut for you?
18:28That's not what I mean.
18:36Please tell me you're going to kick ass in there.
18:39Oh, I'm relatively certain I won't throw up,
18:41but beyond that, I can't promise anything.
18:43Fabulous.
18:51Dawson Leary.
18:53How in the hell's my favorite young director?
18:56Good to see you, kid. Good to see you.
18:59You know Mr. Newman?
19:01Mr. Newman was my father,
19:03and that bastard's long gone.
19:05You just call me Larry.
19:07Have a seat, please.
19:09OK.
19:11Larry?
19:13OK.
19:15Oh!
19:17Oh!
19:19Peter!
19:21Yes, Larry?
19:22My ass hurts.
19:24Why does my ass hurt?
19:26I'm sorry, Larry.
19:28I forgot.
19:30Actions, Peter. Actions, not excuses.
19:35Ah.
19:37This prostate.
19:39Damn thing's big as a cured ham.
19:43Getting old, boy.
19:45Ooh.
19:47It's just a series of indignities.
19:50You'll find out.
19:52OK, so what are we doing here?
19:56Uh, well, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
19:59I can't believe I almost forgot this.
20:03You are my hero, kid.
20:08Larry, that means a lot.
20:11The reshoots were tough,
20:13but I was pretty happy with how they turned out.
20:15I gotta say, by the end of it,
20:17I actually felt like a real director.
20:19Right.
20:21Uh, no, the reshoots were fine.
20:23What I'm talking about is Natasha.
20:27She was great, wasn't she?
20:29I was very happy with the performance
20:31that I got out of her.
20:33Her performance was mediocre at best.
20:35What I'm talking about here is the fact
20:37that you managed to get yourself
20:39into her knickers.
20:44Heather tells me everything.
20:47See, here's my thing with directors.
20:49I can tell any schmuck where to put the camera,
20:52how to say action, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
20:55But when a friggin' P.A. figures out
20:57how to bang the leading lady, buddy,
20:59that is somebody I want to be in business with.
21:03And that's you, big fella.
21:05Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
21:07Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee.
21:10Woo!
21:11Yeah.
21:13Okay, Dawson.
21:15Tell me a story.
21:17Okay, so we opened
21:20in a teenager's bedroom.
21:22Walls plastered with movie posters.
21:24Now, wait.
21:25This isn't one of those
21:27movies about making movies, is it?
21:29No, not at all.
21:31Not really.
21:32Well, either it is or it isn't.
21:34Well...
21:35All right, never mind. Go ahead.
21:38Okay, so, on the bed,
21:41boy and a girl.
21:43Both 15.
21:44They've been best friends for as long as they can remember.
21:47Are they, you know...
21:48No.
21:49Huh?
21:53Not yet.
21:55I gotcha.
21:56Let the audience get a little wet first.
21:58I like this.
21:59This is good.
22:01Yeah.
22:02So, uh, in the bedroom,
22:04and we're talking about movies.
22:06Wait a minute.
22:07I gotta ask you something here.
22:09Uh, is this a horror movie?
22:11No.
22:12Not at all.
22:13This is a coming-of-age story.
22:17Actually, Larry,
22:18it's a teen sex comedy.
22:20With hearts.
22:22American Pie meets Stand By Me.
22:30But it's got sex, right?
22:34Yeah.
22:38Sure.
22:39Yeah.
22:40Good.
22:41See, this is interesting.
22:42Trends will come and trends will go.
22:46But I say
22:48there's always room for a movie
22:50in which teenage girls take their clothes off.
22:55All right, let's cut to the chase, pal.
22:57Hey, my ass is on fire here.
23:00Um, okay.
23:01Here's the part of the story
23:03that I think you'll find the most interesting.
23:05Our main character thinks of himself as one of the good guys.
23:08He's always trying to do the right thing,
23:10and it always gets in the way when it comes to girls.
23:13Um, so it's really interesting
23:16to watch him go through this moral dilemma
23:19when he meets this girl at school that he really likes,
23:22but it turns out that she's...
23:27a stripper.
23:34A stripper.
23:36A student by day, a stripper at night.
23:39See, I've seen this probably a hundred times,
23:42but I'll be damned if I wouldn't stay up till 3 a.m.
23:45to watch it on Skin Max.
23:47And if you cast one of those hot little
23:51pastor-primed starlets
23:53who's willing to show off her new boob job,
23:56you got yourself a mini-blockbuster on your hands.
24:00This is good.
24:02This is real good.
24:04I like this.
24:06You got yourself a deal.
24:08It's the best pitch I've heard in...
24:11a long time.
24:13Well, you guys want to hear the rest of it?
24:15I mean, that's just a very small part of it.
24:17Let me give you a little advice, pally.
24:20When somebody tells you you got yourself a deal,
24:23you zip it.
24:25You know, you nod, you smile,
24:27you look grateful.
24:29You do not say another word.
24:31Another word can only do you harm.
24:33You know what I'm saying?
24:46Absolutely.
24:48Outstanding. Okay.
24:50Listen, we'll figure out the beats after lunch.
24:53In the meantime...
24:56Tell me a little more about Natasha.
25:11I hear what you're saying, Walter.
25:13I'm just not willing to push it that hard.
25:15Look, I just don't have the numbers, okay?
25:20Well, when?
25:22Okay, hold on a sec. Let me have a look.
25:24Hey, Joe?
25:26You looking for this, Mr. Ritter?
25:28Yes. As a matter of fact, when did this come in?
25:31Um, well, I didn't want to inundate you with information.
25:37Good. Thank you.
25:42Okay, Walter, I got it right in front of me.
25:44Shoot.
25:46Walter?
25:48Oh, I pressed the wrong button.
25:50Walter?
25:52Oh, I pressed a button when I came in here.
25:54I thought it was hold.
25:56That's okay. That's fine.
25:58We could just get him on the line again.
26:04You know what, Joe? You're such a smart girl,
26:06I honestly thought this was going to be a little easier for you.
26:08Well, I kind of made it a point not to learn secretarial skills.
26:12You might have wanted to mention that earlier.
26:15Well, if I'm too good at it,
26:18you'll never let me do what I really want to do.
26:21I find that very hard to believe, Ms. Potter.
26:27Hi.
26:29Hi.
26:31What are you doing here?
26:33Well, your secretary wasn't at her desk.
26:36I hope it's okay that I...
26:38No, it's fine. She's there.
26:40Oh. Okay, well, here.
26:42You wouldn't mind hanging this up for me, would you?
26:44Do you have an appointment, miss?
26:46Yes. As a matter of fact, I do.
26:49Mrs. Sadie Shaw is the reporter I was telling you about.
26:53Of course.
26:55Pleased to meet you again.
26:57So, I guess the rumors I've been hearing are true.
27:00Pacey, you're certainly moving up in the world.
27:03So you guys know each other?
27:05Not entirely, but I guess that's what the interview's for.
27:10I guess so.
27:13Hey, is there anything we can get you to make you more comfortable?
27:17Jo, would you mind grabbing us a pot of coffee?
27:20Sure, Mr. Whitter. I will get right on that.
27:23I will just whip up a batch.
27:30Yeah, thank you.
27:32Why don't you step in?
27:34Come on.
28:05And cut!
28:07Gentlemen, Satan himself would be proud.
28:12All right, let's take a break.
28:14Take a break.
28:33What the hell are you doing here?
28:35World quandary, you got a minute?
28:37Bollocks, Leary.
28:39You're like some bloody little angel that pops his head up over my shoulder
28:42every time I'm about to engage in meaningless sex with a company extra.
28:46You are a bloody moral quandary.
28:49Excuse me, I'm in the band, Todd.
28:53My apologies, love.
28:55Can you ever forgive me?
28:59Shorty's car and wait five minutes.
29:01Five minutes?
29:03Gee, what a treat.
29:12So, Rich, would you say that Pacey's arrival
29:17and your rise in profitability had a direct correlation?
29:22Well, let's not get crazy here.
29:25We all know how unpredictable the market is.
29:28It just so happens we also started to push new stock around that time
29:31and it did very well for us.
29:33And that would be Stepatech.
29:35Yes, and as a matter of fact, I was the first person who went out with Stepatech.
29:40Yeah, that's correct, Pacey was the first.
29:43Excuse me, Pace, Jack's on one.
29:48That's okay, you can hold all my calls, thanks.
29:51Even from your roomie?
29:56Yes, even my roommate.
30:00Hmm, okay.
30:02My bad, carry on.
30:05I apologize for that, it's her first day.
30:08I understand.
30:10This must be quite a coup for you, Pacey, having an assistant.
30:13I heard that until recently you were a cook.
30:18Yeah, actually, I did a double for a while in food service industry, but...
30:27The buttons stick on those sometimes.
30:29I apologize.
30:31Where was I?
30:32I wish I could remember, I was riveted.
30:35Fresh coffee?
30:37Great, you can just put it on the desk.
30:40Pacey takes tons of sugar in his coffee, otherwise he can't drink it.
30:43You know, he puts sugar in his Rudy Babbles, can you believe it?
30:50Alright, thanks for your help, Miss Potter, that'll be all.
30:53And how do you take yours?
30:55Uh, just like that.
30:58And how do you take yours?
31:00Uh, just a splash of cream nonfat, if you have it, please.
31:06Of course.
31:10Oh!
31:11Hey!
31:12What?
31:13Oh!
31:14Oh my god, I am so sorry.
31:16You know what, I can get it.
31:19Sorry, I got it.
31:21Winter, why don't we continue this interview in my office?
31:26I'm sure you'll be more comfortable there, it's much bigger.
31:42It was an accident.
31:44Really, an accident?
31:47Why do I find that so hard to believe?
31:50You better get going.
31:52You don't want to miss your 15 minutes of fame.
31:57I don't understand what you're so torn up about, man.
32:01Job is a job.
32:03Work begets work.
32:05Do you know what I mean?
32:06Yeah, but I just have a really hard time doing something that I don't believe in, you know?
32:12I mean, I'd learned so much working for you and doing the reshoots and everything,
32:15but I lost a chunk of my soul in the process.
32:18You're such a bloody drama queen, Larry.
32:22The trick is to keep working so one day you get to a point where you can write your own ticket.
32:28What about the time you get to? I don't know who the hell you are anymore.
32:31You have to decide what kind of filmmaker you want to be.
32:34Me? I'm a journeyman.
32:36I go where the jobs are.
32:38Maybe I'm just not cut out for any of this.
32:41Oh, I see.
32:43So this is that bit where I give you a bit of a lift, is it?
32:47No.
32:48So this is that bit where I give you a bit of a lift, is it?
32:51No.
32:52Because I'm not going to do it.
32:55Even if you are a talented little bugger.
32:58Even if you are light years ahead of where I was at your age.
33:02All right, all right.
33:07So, go make a movie.
33:11For ten bucks?
33:12It's a start.
33:14Look, if you're not willing to do it their way, with their money, then don't cash the chip.
33:19Write your own.
33:21Sometimes, with a little bit of money and a lot of faith, you can almost will an entire movie into existence.
33:28That's what I did.
33:31How'd it turn out?
33:33Rubbish.
33:35But, it got me here.
33:38Here I am, doing the devil's work in sunny Los Angeles.
33:43Listen to me.
33:45I know no matter what you do, you're going to do it with heart, and balls, and swagger.
33:52That is all that matters in this world.
33:55Remember that.
33:58Go on, get out of here.
34:00Go change your diaper or something.
34:14What was that earlier?
34:17How do you know that woman?
34:19The reporter?
34:21I've met her once.
34:23At a function.
34:24Months ago.
34:25I didn't even know her name.
34:27Why does that not shock me?
34:29We were never formally introduced.
34:31I don't know her.
34:33I don't know her.
34:35I don't know her.
34:37I don't know her.
34:39I don't know her.
34:41We were never formally introduced.
34:43I mean, would it have killed you to have acted professionally today?
34:47Come on, Pacey.
34:50You guys are pigs.
34:53I mean, according to caveman standards, I'm not the professional type.
34:57And what type is that?
34:58The type that can pour a cup of coffee without painting it all over the walls?
35:01Because you're not that type.
35:03That's all an assistant is to you, isn't it?
35:05Just some chick who pours coffee.
35:08I didn't realize that you wanted to be a career assistant.
35:12Why do you think Rich fired Marcy?
35:15Because she's over 30.
35:19Have you ever even noticed the assistants here?
35:22I feel like there's no good way to answer that question.
35:25They look like the maxin' girls of the office out there.
35:29I guess I'd never noticed.
35:31Because when I come here, it's to do my job.
35:34Which I was actually pretty good at until you came here and sabotaged me.
35:38Get real, Pacey.
35:41All I'm asking for is a little respect.
35:44A little humankind.
35:45But you see, that's the whole point.
35:47I don't have to respect you or be kind to you.
35:49You're my secretary.
35:50Oh, that's the whole point?
35:52You regressed to 18.
35:53You are wrecking my head.
35:55Could you not just accept the temporary income with a smile and maybe a little grace?
36:01No.
36:03Not if this is how you plan on treating your future assistants.
36:06Frankly, Pacey, I'm beginning to understand the nickname.
36:12What nickname?
36:17They call you Witless.
36:20Who calls me Witless?
36:22Well, I think that would be unprofessional of me to disclose such information.
36:25Where was that professionalism when you were pouring cream down the reporter's leg?
36:29Oh, please.
36:30Don't say reporter like you haven't burned that girl's name into your memory.
36:36You know, I don't think that this is the proper arena to vent your jealousy.
36:40Jealous?
36:42Hardly.
36:43Okay, yeah, I might have had some sort of psychotic lapse, but that was odd, really.
36:48Because why would I be jealous?
36:50I don't know.
36:51It's not like you'd ever be attracted to the shrewd business type, right?
36:54Well, what does it matter?
36:56Because you're not jealous, right?
37:02You know what?
37:03I'd like to issue an apology.
37:06Take a letter, would you?
37:10You're going to need a pen and paper.
37:17Dear Miss Shaw.
37:25It was wonderful to see you this afternoon.
37:30No, no, go back.
37:32It was lovely to see you again.
37:35However, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for my secretary's behavior.
37:42Because, you see, she's new and very bad.
37:51I missed the last part.
37:53Something moronic followed by something inane.
38:24I'm, uh, headed out with her.
38:30Jeans, man.
38:32Least I waited a week with mine.
38:39Pigs.
38:40We're all pigs.
38:44Mm-hmm.
39:07Whatever is the matter with you two?
39:10CJ thinks I'm a slut.
39:12I do not.
39:13Well, why would you think such a thing, Jennifer?
39:15Because he pretty much said so.
39:17No, I didn't.
39:19Well, CJ, why do you think Jennifer feels this way?
39:23Well, she seemed to like having sex right up until the moment she started having sex with me.
39:28That's not true.
39:31I see the problem here.
39:33You do?
39:34Mm.
39:35CJ, Jennifer is attempting for the very first time in her young life to have a full, well-rounded relationship with a boy.
39:47And Jennifer, CJ's problem is that he, like any young man of pure heart and good intention, is worried that you will always be more attracted to the rakes of this world.
40:02Well, you can tell CJ that nice pecs and a good six-pack won't go so far.
40:09And you can tell Jennifer that what she just said didn't make me feel the slightest bit better.
40:14I have nice pecs.
40:18Jennifer, you can tell CJ that the best sex that I've ever had in my life has been with him.
40:30That and you.
40:38You can tell Jen that I'm sorry if I made her feel bad.
40:43And that I was never insinuating that she be of questionable morality.
40:51And that I'll snuggle with her any time she wants.
41:00Well, I think my work is done here.
41:04I have peace to broker elsewhere in Beantown.
41:12I'm so sorry.
41:14No, no, I'm sorry.
41:18But I'm not sorry about wanting to have sex with you. That's just how it is. That's how it's always going to be.
41:23You promise?
41:25Oh, I promise.
41:29Oh, I think I'm in the mood.
41:34In the mood for what?
41:37Oh, no, it just passed.
41:39No, I was just kidding.
41:45Ciao.
41:58Well, I think we're in pretty good shape here.
42:02Just make sure that the fire at the strip club is spectacular.
42:07I mean, all right.
42:09Now, have you thought about a title, Dawson?
42:14Uh, no, I haven't, actually.
42:16I got one for you.
42:18Sunset Stripped.
42:22Sunset Stripped.
42:24What do you think?
42:25I, um, think it's very clever.
42:30Economical.
42:32It works well.
42:34Um, you know, being that her name is Sunset.
42:37And I think it'll help with the foreign, too.
42:39Which reminds me.
42:41A minimum of three nude scenes, please.
42:45That's not including the scenes in the strip bar.
42:48I want this picture to be wall-to-wall boobs.
42:51Okay?
42:53This is going to be a very good picture.
42:55My friends, thank you.
42:57That's it.
42:58Congrats on a great meeting.
43:01Good job, sweetie.
43:03All right, congratulations.
43:06Very good.
43:07Good work.
43:09It's going.
43:10Nice going.
43:12You know what?
43:13Excuse me.
43:14I'm sorry.
43:18Well, what is it?
43:19Out with it.
43:20I came in here the other day.
43:23Because I wanted to tell a story about something small, something personal.
43:27Something I've been trying to figure out for quite some time.
43:31I wanted to write about growing up.
43:34And why it's so hard.
43:35And I want to write about falling in love.
43:38And why it can't last, but at the same time how it lasts forever.
43:44And somehow that got twisted into a story about a stripper.
43:49I guess what I'm trying to say is I can't do this.
43:53I appreciate the offer and the confidence.
43:57But I just wouldn't feel right taking your money.
44:01Are you absolutely sure about this?
44:08Yeah.
44:10Yeah, I am.
44:13I put together a director's list.
44:15I want to get somebody on this by the end of the week.
44:18Nice knowing you, kid.
44:20Best of luck to you.
44:24Yeah.
44:26Sure.
44:28Yeah.
44:30I'll see you later.
44:32Yeah, you too.
44:33I'll see you in a minute.
44:36I just need somebody to turn it off.
44:38Get on it.
44:43Hey, Mr. Ritter.
44:44What can I get you?
44:46Nothing, actually.
44:47I'm kind of partial to this jacket.
44:49Not the best of first days, I'll admit.
44:52No.
44:53But I'm of the opinion that some roles should never collide.
44:55Plus, how are you ever going to take me seriously?
44:57Now that you know the guys call me Willis.
45:00I don't know.
45:01My whole jealousy act really didn't showcase my best features.
45:05Actually, you know, I kind of like that part.
45:08You were just hoping she and I would wrestle.
45:11What kind of man do you take me for?
45:15I guess I'm just not used to office combat.
45:18I'm more of a drunk wrangler.
45:20That's good news, actually, because I wanted to tell you, don't quit your night job.
45:25What do you mean?
45:27Well, I mean that under no circumstances do I ever want to see you in my place of work again,
45:31regardless of how hot you look in pinstripes.
45:37You're firing me?
45:39Yeah, but, I mean, can you think of any better solution?
45:42Is this because of the whole coffee thing, Pacey?
45:45Because I can make coffee.
45:47And I can serve it and everything.
45:49It's nothing if not a professional service.
45:51It's not about the coffee thing.
45:53Okay?
45:54Then what's it about?
45:56Jo, how can you expect me to concentrate if you're around all day?
46:00Am I really that much of a distraction, Pacey?
46:04I mean, my desk is outside of your office.
46:07You can't even see me.
46:08But I know you're there.
46:09And I would not have come as far as I have if you were five feet away from me all the time.
46:14I just wouldn't.
46:15Trust me.
46:16Really?
46:18And why is that?
46:23Okay, now you're just milking this for all it's worth, aren't you?
46:29Fine.
46:31I wouldn't have been able to concentrate because every time you're five feet away from me,
46:35or 25 feet away from me for that matter,
46:39there's really only one thing that I want to do.
46:43Do tell.
46:45I'm sorry, Mr. Ritter.
47:12I don't think I can work for you anymore.
47:19Fine.
47:20Just remember that I fired you.
47:21No, no.
47:22I quit.
47:24You have to let me keep my dignity.
47:27Okay, but if I fire you, then you get severance pay.
47:34Well, just remember, you'll never find another girl like me.
47:38Well, I prefer to think of my secretaries as women, but okay.
47:42Well, enough of that.
47:43I think we can both agree that this wasn't the best idea.
47:46No doubt.
47:48My current thinking is that relationships make terrible platforms for multitasking.
47:53Pity that.
47:54I was looking forward to seeing you on a regular basis.
48:00I just have to make a point to make more time than one.
48:06Is it almost done here?
48:09I just have to close up the register.
48:12Well, that's excellent, because, you know, I was thinking,
48:15I just happen to live right across the street.
48:18I was thinking that, too.
48:21Really? What a coincidence.
48:22Probably right there.
48:24I'll see you soon.
48:29Hey, you don't think there's any chance you might be willing to wear that secretary's outfit?
48:33I had your chance.
48:37We'll talk about that later.
48:50Hey.
48:57Hey.
49:27Hey.
