After the Ball Page #2

Yes.

That will do.

Be nice cause she's

nice and you're not.

Hey.

Um, I have some ideas for this dress.

It's very nice already, Maurice.

Please, I hate it.

Elise noted it to death at sample.

Um, okay,

well, there's-there's

two darts at the back.

Um, if you left out a

panel the waistline is...

Oh, I love this.

Very Twiggy.

Yes, 60s, right?

And with these buttons I found...

we've got thousands of them.

Kate, if I wanted you to have

an idea I'd give it to you.

Yeah, where'd you

think I get all of mine?

So, is the accessory room all done yet?

Uh, no, nope.

I should... well, I

just, I should get on that.

Yeah.

That was not nice.

Tannis?

What?

Get in here.

Okay.

Kate, you're seriously

wearing those overalls to work?

Is it bring your shame to work day?

I'm sorting buttons and

I needed the pockets.

Sorting buttons when you should

be designing and they know it.

Right now I'm just paying my dues.

And I don't wanna give Elise

a reason to tell him...

that I'm not working out.

Just remember to push

for what you want.

All I want right now is a cab.

Yes.

Um, Elise needs to speak to you.

And she's the boss of you.

I understand but I'm

gonna show them this...

in the meeting.

Hey, Dad.

Kate.

Kate.

Hi.

Hi.

Look at you.

I'm, um, Elise told me

that you accepted my offer.

I'm so pleased.

Uh, well, you've,

uh, um, you're taller.

Ah, I'm exactly the same size.

I mean, well you know,

I mean, you've grown up.

Yeah.

Four years, you know.

No, it hasn't been that long, has it?

Okay.

Um, I'm very sorry that I

missed your graduation.

No...

No, it was-it was rescheduling the...

Yeah. No, Dad.

I'm sure that you were just really,

really busy here and...

He's a very busy man.

Ah, here I am apologizing again.

No, Dad, I'm sorry.

I...

We need to reconnect.

Dinner, Friday.

You pick it.

My treat.

- Okay.

- Okay?

Yeah, let's do it.

Great.

Yeah.

Good talk.

Hello?

Are they alright?

Oh.

I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

Ow.

You gotta start wearing a helmet...

I'm sorry.

They're really nice,

these shoes.

Thanks.

Wanna try them on?

Oh, no, no, no. It's okay.

Come on. I've never seen...

them with someone.

I have to get back to work anyway...

This is work.

Okay.

I'll do it.

Safer that way.

I'm an odd size.

Yeah, they're a bit big.

They're nice.

Nice?

Oh, you're a designer.

You can do better than that.

Okay.

Um... the pitch needs work...

and the width of the

last is a bit narrow.

I would actually close the

peep and lower the vamps,

and then you could just-

just get rid of the straps.

I don't know.

I was expecting maybe

like one adjective but...

I asked.

I'm sorry, I didn't...

I-I asked for it and

actually you're right.

Yeah, you're right.

Well, buttons await.

If I can find my way back there.

Do, uh, can I walk you there?

Oh, yeah.

Sure.

Okay.

Um, kids? Married?

I'm quite unattached.

Same for me.

Yeah, Maurice was telling me...

Ah, Maurice.

I like the guy but sometimes...

what did he say?

I'm a broken man hiding in

the basement licking my wounds.

Cursing my fate.

That you were single.

Oh.

So terrible,

all these people laid off?

Yeah well, back when Mr.

Kassell actually gave a damn,

this used to be a great place to work.

Now he's like some mythical beast.

You know there's been sightings

but no one knows much about him.

Including me.

Well, you just got here.

You do know that he's my dad, right?

No, really.

What? Oh.

Just going over everything I

said in the past ten minutes...

Oh, uh, I'm... I'm sorry.

I thought you knew. I thought

everybody would know that.

No don't-don't be sorry.

Um, I'm the one that

was bad mouthing him.

I didn't mean to make you feel bad.

Really?

Yeah.

Whoo.

Ow.

Huh.

Looks like we're neighbours.

Yeah.

I might have taken you the long way.

Hmm.

It's a beautiful room.

Very cozy.

That yours?

Yeah.

They... it's-it's really nothing.

They're just really loose, uh, sketches.

Is that me?

No.

That's me.

It was... I... it was another designer.

The coat is awesome.

It's a really nice coat.

Thanks.

It's yours if I ever get to design.

Well, thank you.

Um...

Thanks.

There you go.

Have fun.

I'll let you work.

Try not to hurt anyone.

Yup.

Bye.

Bye.

Okay...

I don't know why she hasn't quit yet.

I dunno. I think buttons are kinda cool.

Shh.

If she won't quit.

We'll just have to get Lee to fire her.

Yeah.

Hey, I just finished,

uh, metals versus plastics.

Follow me.

I was just telling the girls...

this is a waste of Katie's talent.

It's time we moved you into design.

Thank you, Elise.

I promise I won't let you down.

I have so many ideas.

Just remember,

you're the CEO's daughter.

So always be a team player.

Absolutely.

Everyone, Katie Kassell.

Yes, that Kassell but

no special treatment.

That's your place.

Girls?

Well, that was a quick promotion.

Yes, well, she's here to help.

Aren't you Katie?

Dad, I found the most amazing

restaurant for dinner tonight.

No student dives.

This is my treat.

We have dinner with the mayor

tonight about that tax thing.

Took us forever to get.

Right.

Tomorrow then.

Tomorrow, you're in Laval.

Why don't you let me arrange it?

I know his schedule.

Let Elise arrange this.

She, uh, arranges things.

Okay, girls.

Daddy Lee, are you

ready for our pitch?

So you know how we hate to

see clothes go to waste?

No, I didn't know that.

Exactly.

So, um, when

Maurice's designs flopped...

we wanted to find a frugal solution.

Yes, one that didn't cost a lot of money...

and so we came up with this.

Show him.

Buttons.

Buttons.

Well, well, well.

I like it.

Now a simple design

with a bold concept.

Exactly.

In my day,

we called that a runner.

Who knew?

Um, guys?

That was...

I came up with that.

There's no I in Kassell, Kate.

Except at the end.

What?

After the 'e'.

Duh, but you write them like

'I's' Simone. Google it.

It's called grammar.

We pride ourselves on being

a holistic creative team.

So why don't you start by

just putting our designs...

into the computer.

Can I just go get my

stuff in Accessories?

Oh, yeah, no.

I'll get that for you.

It's kind of like an inputting emergency.

So...

Okay. Bye.

Nice buttons...

Oh, we should totally upload

dirty pictures to her Instagram.

Mom told me exactly what to do.

Don't mess this up.

I won't mess this up.

Mom told me exactly what to do.

I wrote it down.

You need to take these to...

the flagship store.

But before she does that...

you need to upload the

designs to the company FTP.

Take these to the flagship store.

Before that,

upload the designs.

Have you ever done that before?

Get a pen.

I'll give you the address.

No, 'I' in Kassell.

Are these the new pieces?

Yeah.

Um...

I think what they're going for...

you don't like them.

Yeah.

Um, not so much.

Hold on.

Just need you to sign something.

Okay.

What do you think?

I don't like it.

Sweetie, you look beautiful.

It doesn't make me feel special.
