Addicted

Come in.

Hi. I'm Dr. Spencer.

But you can just

call me Marcella.

Zoe Reynard.

I got your name through a friend

and she says you're

discreet.

Absolutely.

It comes with the territory.

Make yourself comfortable, okay?

Take off your coat.

Sit wherever you like.

I'm glad you found the time

to come and see me.

I assure you

that everything we talk about

is completely confidential.

No one sees these notes but me.

Well, it's not like I'm

a movie star, or anything.

Why don't we just try something?

Maybe you can tell me

what brought you here.

You know, would that

be easier for you?

Um, okay.

Well, it started the moment

that, um, I realized that

all the good things in my life

could never fill this void

that's always been there.

I have the perfect life.

Wonderful home.

Best family

anyone could hope for.

Show it to Granny.

My kids are the light

of my life.

They're funny...

Go!

...and bright

and just delicious, you know.

A soldier holding

a baby kangaroo... What?

No! You're, like... Okay.

Hold this thought. What else?

Gimme something else.

Up high. It's a torch!

It's a...

Uh, Statue of Liberty!

Yay!

Oh, my God!

How did he get that?

Whoo-hoo!

Okay, now you.

My momma's the kind of woman

whose hug could turn

a dark day bright.

My husband Jason

is every woman's dream.

He's my first love

and my soul mate.

Oh, yeah. Yeah!

It was so good, baby.

You wanna go for Round 3?

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm. Wanna do something special.

Do you?

Mmm. Yeah.

That feels so good.

I love you.

Really?

Mmm-hmm.

Good morning, Zoe.

Would you like a tracking number,

so you can give them a call?

Good morning, boss.

Good morning, Shane.

You look absolutely dazzling,

as usual.

Thank you.

Can you tell Brina

to come see me

when she gets in?

Mmm-hmm.

Brina is here.

Brina is always here.

Brina lives here.

Hmm. Maybe I should

charge you for rent.

Maybe you should start

paying me more.

Maybe I should.

- Maybe you can't afford it.

- Maybe I'll do it anyhow.

Maybe I won't let you.

Hey! I'm the boss.

And I'm here to keep you

being the boss.

You try to pay me more,

and I'll quit.

Okay, I'm confused.

All right.

Down to business.

Quinton Canosa...

Quinton Canosa exhibit.

I need...

A catalog of his art.

And also...

His bio,

references, history...

And finally...

Nope, can't get that.

What?

His photo.

He doesn't let people

take his photo.

I was gonna say "croissant,"

but thanks for the info.

So, wait, this guy

still doesn't have a rep?

Amazing.

I know.

Well, he's all about the art.

"Quinton Canosa,

the people's artist. "

Mmm-hmm.

He's amazing.

Yeah.

You know,

every piece just grabs you,

you know, in the gut.

We could license his work

and introduce him to

a whole new world of revenue.

Okay.

"Revenue" is a good word.

Do your thing, girl.

Go get that revenue.

Ooh!

And once that happens,

we need to reinstate

mani-pedi Fridays.

Uh, excuse me.

Do you like it?

Like it? I...

I love it. Yeah.

Quinton Canosa's

an incredible talent.

Huh. If you say so.

Do you know anything about art?

That what you call it?

Okay, uh...

Quinton Canosa's genius, okay?

He's one of the greatest

artists of our time.

If you can't see that, I don't

know what you're doing here.

Nice work, Quinton.

Really nice.

Appreciate it.

Lovely lady as well.

No, no, no... You? You...

You're Quinton Canosa?

I'm sorry.

I couldn't resist.

Okay. Yeah, you got me.

I feel like such a fool.

No, no. Please don't.

Well, just a little bit.

I'm so embarrassed.

I'm just kidding.

Oh, I don't speak Spanish.

Oh, you don't?

Um, I was saying, it, uh...

It's a pleasure to meet you.

It's an honor to meet you,

Quinton.

Yeah. I didn't catch

your name, Ms...

Oh. It's Mrs. Zoe Reynard.

Oh.

Oh, Mrs.

Yeah. I see.

God, that always happens, right?

The good ones,

they're always taken.

Oh...

Oh, thank you.

Uh...

I think he's my favorite.

Really?

That's mine.

Uh, I don't know if this is

the right place or time

to talk business?

Well, if it's the only way

to keep you next to me...

Um...

Oh, well, uh...

Um, business?

What?

You were gonna

talk about business.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Well, I have a company

and, uh, we represent

contemporary artists.

Oh, wow. That's nice.

Yeah.

Okay, can you tell me about it?

Oh. Yeah, okay, uh...

We would license your work

to the highest bidder,

you know, it could be a classy

advertising campaign,

or, um, you know, inspiration

for a clothing line.

I mean, you are

an incredible artist, solely,

but we would expand

on that artistry into a brand.

That's nice.

Can you explain that

to me again, please?

Oh, I'm sorry. Spanish...

Am I talking too fast?

I just love to watch

the way your lips move.

Um, so, you know,

if you're interested,

uh, my office could contact

you and set up a meeting.

Okay, um... I don't think...

Uh, you know what?

Honestly,

I don't like to be so formal.

Besides, you already know

I'm interested.

So let's do something.

Monday morning. 9:00.

Come to my studio.

Oh! Great.

Pleasure to meet you...

Zoe.

Oh, can I call you "Zoe"?

Call me Zoe.

Okay.

Meeting Quinton Canosa

just made me realize

how much I missed

excitement in my life.

And did you act out

on that feeling?

I sure did.

I tried to relive it with Jason.

And?

And nothing.

Hello?

Hey, handsome.

Are you on your way?

Oh, sweetie.

This is gonna be

one of those long nights.

I gotta finish the plans for the

civic center by the weekend

and I'm way behind.

We didn't have any plans

tonight, did we?

Guess not.

Um, hurry home, okay?

I'll try my best.

But don't wait up, all right?

And kiss the kids for me.

Okay. I will. Love you.

Our love is forever.

Always has been.

Always will be.

All right. Sweet dreams.

Oh, hi, Momma.

Um, I'm going to the store.

Do you need anything?

Hmm. You are definitely going to be the

best-dressed lady in the produce department.

Well,

I got dressed up for Jason.

I'll see you in a minute.

Thank you.

Mmm.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Oh. Hi, Mom.

Hey, you still at the store?

Um, I'm in the parking lot.

I'm just leaving.

Can I get you something?

Oh, I don't want you

to have to go back in.

You're probably ready

to hop into bed.

Is that music I hear

in the parking lot?

Oh, someone's just blasting

their stereo. Um...

What is it?

I don't mind.

I'm already here.

I could sure use some

ice cream. I mean, uh...

That cookie dough flavor,

if they have it.

Cookie dough ice cream,

coming right up.

You sure?

Yes, I'm sure, Mom.

I'll be right there.

Holy sh*t.

Mmm.

Oh!

Oh, hi.

Just got home.

Mmm.

I couldn't wait

to make it up to you

for missing dinner.

I'm sorry.

Mmm.

Well, I forgive you.

I love you.

I love you, too.

You look so beautiful

when you sleep.

Mommy!

Wake up, sleepyhead!

Oh...

Lucky me.

My own personal wake-up call.

You must be hungry.

Come on. Let me

make you some breakfast.

Dad's already made breakfast.
