After the Ball Page #3

Come on.

You look gorgeous.

No, I want that one over there.

Honey, we talked about it.

Remember, it's too expensive.

Please.

C'mon.

We can make this one work, right?

I guess.

You'll look beautiful.

I promise.

Whatever.

You should've seen her face.

She was so disappointed.

It was such an easy

construction though...

and then she had to settle for a dress.

A boring, rigid,

Elise inspired dress.

I don't get it.

What happened here?

Well, Elise wanted to focus on bridge,

day-to-night wear.

You know business casual.

Yeah, business boring.

I don't get it.

Why aren't we

using the cutting room?

I mean, I could've made that dress...

and it could've been affordable.

It would've been so

easy for me to transform it.

You know what?

What?

You're going to do great things.

I'm sorry.

There you are.

Come with me, Kate.

Now.

Okay.

No problem.

Hey, Dad.

Something wrong?

Katie, did you upload the dress designs...

to the Kassell FTP server?

Yes.

Did they not go through?

They did.

To a public FTP server

that anyone can access.

And 10 minutes later,

Frost Apparel...

downloaded those designs.

How would they know

that they were there?

I don't know.

I mean, what are you saying...?

Someone would have

to tell them wouldn't they?

I guess.

Simone gave me the address.

Is this your writing?

She dictated it to me, Elise.

Tannis told me that you were upset.

That you felt that you

contributed to their collection.

I did and they took my ideas.

I would never do something like this.

May I see your phone?

Oh.

Our samples.

Let's hope they have

gone nowhere else.

I didn't take those.

But they're in your phone.

Clearly, I've been set up by somebody.

Who would set you up?

I cannot have this kind of

behaviour in the workplace.

Do you understand me?

I cannot tolerate this.

I'm sorry.

Oh, Katie.

You have to stop hurting your father.

You've gotta be kidding me.

Now obviously this is

not going to work out.

Clearly.

You need to clean out your desk...

and I will have HR arrange

two weeks of severance.

Can I have my phone back please?

She totally played me

and I walked right into it...

and now I can't even work at

my own family business?

How could Lee be so blind?

She's driving the company into the ground.

She's stifling the designers

like some evil corporate witch.

No offense to witches.

I have gotta show him

who Elise really is.

We have to do something.

That's it.

Let's do something.

That's the spirit.

Let's egg their house.

What are you, twelve?

You know, shame on your father.

Why didn't you tell Lee

that Tannis and Simone...

stole your designs...

in the first place?

I tried but Elise.

I don't know why I'm so scared of her.

I open my mouth and

nothing comes out of it.

I know exactly what

you mean, buttercup.

I have the same problem.

You do not have the same problem.

He just says what he thinks

and then regrets it later.

You need some of Richard's chutzpah.

Yeah.

Richard you stand

there and people listen to you.

You know, they make space for you.

Come.

Let's have them listen to us.

We'll tell them, 'Make

your own damn designs.'

Make your own damn designs.

Make your own damn designs.

Or I'll kick your ass.

Your surgery enhanced asses.

Yes.

All the way back to the tanning salon.

Kate.

Richard.

What-what if Richard

applied to Kassell to design?

See this is when

Bella's had too much wine.

And the mind.

It's the first thing to go.

I don't mean you as you.

I mean you as him.

We could get some

clothes from the shop.

Think Twelfth Night in disguise.

Good Madonna, please give me

leave to prove you're a fool.

Why? To do what?

You need to get back into Kassell.

You need to get close

to your dad again.

You can't do that as Kate.

Where's that picture?

There.

The little boy model didn't show up...

and your mother used you instead.

Oh, is that you?

That's her.

She said it's all in the attitude.

See, he didn't even recognize you.

Wow.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

I know that look.

No way.

You need to go back to Kassell...

as someone that they will

listen to and take seriously.

I'm a man. Here I am.

Yes.

No. No, no. No, no.

If you walk like this,

people are gonna think...

I have my hands here... look.

See? Look at this. Look.

No, I haven't done this since we

mounted 'Cyrano' at the Centaur.

We also did a little play.

Can't remember the title.

Just turn your chin.

Last night,

this was really funny...

but I just... I don't...

Don't talk.

You know the sideburns and the

eyebrows could be better...

but the jaw; That's the real

giveaway and that is...

let's go show Bella.

It's Nate Ganymede.

Sergio, you will not regret this.

You haven't seen a designer

this good in a very long time.

Trust me.

Okay.

Ciao, bello.

Oh, yes.

Hello, may I help you.

Jaw line's a real giveaway

don't you think?

Ah, Kate.

Fooled you.

Oh geez, Richard.

Are those contacts?

Are you ready to go for a test drive?

No way. No way.

No, no.

Just remember... remember do the

opposite of what Kate would do.

Just be me.

Be me.

Wait, no...

Help you with something, pal?

I mean, bro?

I mean, fella?

Yeah.

I-I need a tie for a date.

I just can't decide.

Um.

You know, they both are pretty.

You know, uh, I mean,

pretty badass.

That's terrible.

Be me.

Um, you know, on second thought.

Don't be so boring, buttercup.

This-this is absolutely the, um,

tie for you, right here.

Oh, lovely.

Uh, I don't know.

Of course, it shows

that you're comfortable...

with your masculinity.

We like that.

I mean, women like that.

Heterosexual women.

Or so I've heard.

Oh, bravo.

Bravo.

And you sold the tie

twice what I would've asked for.

D'you think he could tell?

Not a chance.

He was utterly

convinced you were a man.

A weird awkward man.

Well, I am imitating you, Richard.

Opa.

Go.

Okay, so, um, I called in a favour...

with the head of

recruitment at Kassell.

I told him that I had a

lead on a fabulously talented,

new designer named Nate.

Who's Nate?

You are.

It's what your mom would've called you...

if you had been a boy.

And sweetheart, you have an

interview with Lee in 2 hours.

What?

You can do it.

No. I can't do this.

Yes, you can.

You just did it.

Don't-don't be scared.

- Don't... breathe.

- Kate is scared.

Nate is not scared.

He is fearless.

Nate is fierce.

Fearless.

Nate is fearless.

You can do it.

You guys know that I'm Nate, right?

Hi, I'm Nate Ganymede.

Oh, wait.

Excuse me.

Oh.

You will stop for me.

Hey, cool.

Kate?

This is one of Kassell's early

designs and the first runner.

Your dad loves this jacket.

This is insane.

Good luck.

This will work.

Oh, yes.

Well, I think we should at

least consider his offer.

I hate Frost Apparel.

Colin Frost has been stealing my ideas...

since we were students together.

Well, that is what competitors do.

What the hell happened here?

I don't know, honey.
