After the Ball Page #7
Never heard of him.
Yes and then Stan called me back.
He's not registered with us.
There's no personal information.
We're not even paying him.
How can this be?
I told you no to...
I've been thinking.
This Nate Ganymede is a real find.
Where did he come from?
I don't know.
Well, his new fall line
up is absolutely stunning.
How do you know
about the fall line-up?
Oops.
Oh, honey.
I'm so sorry.
That little bastard.
Nate.
Lee. I have to tell you something.
Too late. I know everything.
I need to speak with you in private.
I know that you lied about your training.
I know that you lied
about your experience.
There is no Nate Ganymede.
None of that matters anymore.
It doesn't matter?
You've been working for
Colin Frost all along.
She's the one conspiring with Colin.
That is your defense?
Stop. Stop.
Both of you stop.
We're taking Colin's offer.
Enough.
You cannot sell Kassell.
He has our fall line.
Kassell's finished.
You, you're quite the actor.
You had me believing that
Kassell could be great again.
Oh, honey... I am so sorry.
Oh no you don't, boyfriend.
Sorry.
Ah.
Ow.
Kate.
Kate?
Kate.
Hey.
What's wrong, sweetheart?
They're showing my line.
The one you saw Elise give to Colin...
last night in the storage room.
Damn.
Bloody, thieving spies.
Oh my God.
Spies.
Spyware.
Yes, they're spies.
Kassell Clothing.
For not much longer.
Maurice speaking.
Yes.
Hello, Maurice.
It's Nate.
I need your help with something.
Security is just
insane around here today.
Right.
After The Ball.
Okay.
I'm on my way.
Where's the computer?
It's just in the back.
Um, I didn't see you leave last night.
I love the grand entrances but
I prefer to slip out unnoticed.
Um, I need your help with something.
Y'know, Daniel. I'm kinda
in the middle of something.
It won't take a moment.
Please sit.
Maybe I...
Sit down.
I'm experimenting with
the feeling of a shoe.
So don't look, okay?
All right.
All right.
I won't look.
I don't want you influenced by...
how you think it's going to feel.
Perfect fit.
Stand up.
How does it feel?
Uh, a little tight in the toe perhaps.
Good for a night out but
not a hike in the woods.
Precisely.
I... I, you know I haven't shaved and...
I thought you were into
girls... one particular...
Kate.
Hi.
What the...?
Daniel?
Hmm.
That's ridiculous.
No, Maurice.
It's Kate.
It's Kate.
Kate?
You know,
you're the first woman
I've been attracted to...
since Hilary Swank.
I'm sorry I lied to you.
Hey.
Oh.
Here we are.
Last night.
Elise.
Ow.
I don't see anyone. Do you?
Yeah.
The two of us.
This changes everything.
Lee has to see this before he
signs the merger papers today.
In half an hour.
Let's go show him right now.
Wait.
He won't talk to Nate.
Yeah but this is important.
What would I say? I mean,
he doesn't believe me.
Either one of me.
Just because you
assumed a fake identity...
and have been living a double life?
Put the video online and call him.
How will we know that
he's actually seen it?
No, we need to
physically show it to him.
He needs to know
that Elise is the reason why...
my designs were
leaked and it wasn't Nate.
I mean me.
Except those weren't your designs.
Maurice, I saw Elise hand over a drive.
Frost Apparel is doing the
preview at the press conference.
No one's touched your work.
They have the decoy; Alien Chic.
Genius.
I know.
Yes, hi.
It's Nate Ganymede speaking.
Nate, this is Tannis.
I am calling to tell you that
Lee is selling the company.
I doubt that's why you're
actually calling me...
and I'm kind of in the
middle of something, girls.
Hello, Nate.
Hello, Kate.
Huh, I have to admit I
never imagined you two...
would be the ones to figure this out.
Well, we did and you aren't.
Right.
Well, good for you.
I'm actually...
Don't you want to
know what we want?
Want?
To stop us revealing to Lee...
that his daughter is actually a boy.
Uh, okay, yeah sure.
What do you want?
Well, Nate has to ensure that we
become head designers at Frost.
By turning down the job
when Colin offers it to you.
Publicly.
At the press conference.
Yeah and recommending us and
saying that we're awesome.
Yeah, cause we are.
Nate can't get into
the press conference.
Don't worry.
We can get you in.
Did you make samples of Alien Chic?
Yes.
It keeps me up at night.
To get the fall line designs
for the press conference.
Let's go.
You gonna change into Nate?
Or do you need a phonebook?
It's a phone-phone booth.
I need Maurice.
Finally.
All right. I'll be quick.
I'm getting pretty good at this.
Wait. What are those?
It's Nate's fall line designs.
There are samples?
Just two.
I've gotta be quick to
make the announcement.
No, no, no.
You're not gonna wear them.
We should wear them.
We should wear them.
We're gonna wear those.
Why would you wear those?
Don't try and trick us
and take all the credit, Kate.
We're smarter than that.
Give those to me.
Excuse me.
We will wear them.
Okay.
Shh.
Help me. Help me.
Okay, here.
The fourth largest apparel
concern in North America.
I'd now like to invite Lee
Kassell to say a few words.
Mmm.
Yeah. How many? 'Kay, coming.
I built Kassell to last.
When my first wife, Amanda died...
Stop.
How'd you get in here?
I need you to know,
Colin, before you sign...
that I have no intention
of joining you at Frost.
Furthermore, I
recommend Kassell's power duo,
Tannis and Simone would be far better...
to head the Frost design department.
They are awesome.
Don't laugh, peasants.
This is the new fall line.
That is not the new fall line.
I dunno what the hell is going on here...
but that is not the new fall line.
It isn't?
It isn't but Elise thought it was.
Security.
Please escort this man out.
Maurice, the video.
Get out of my way.
Don't. Don't.
Don't touch me.
My Colin is gonna
have to have design files...
if we're gonna get a
jump on production.
Oh, there it is.
The early fall line.
This is even better
than how we got Kate.
You should really consider bangs.
It would be really cute.
This is our ticket to better, girls.
You would turn me
against my own daughter?
Lee, no.
Lee, you misunderstand.
Just stop.
You've hurt my dad long enough, Elise.
Oh my God.
Is that you, Katie?
Only my mother called me Katie.
The name is Kate.
Ohhh.
Kate?
Oh.
We figured that out already.
Like a long time ago.
It all makes sense.
You see, Katie the traitor
came back as Nate the traitor.
That's-that's what happened.
I would stop talking unless...
you want us to play the next video?
A little number I like to
call 'Storage Room with Colin.'
What?
I-I...
It was me that you heard in there.
Remember.
You wicked, wicked girl.
No, it's not true.
It's not true.
Maurice, the video.
Wait.
Stop.
I think it's time for these two
gentlemen to escort you out.
Goodbye.
You'll regret it.
I've ordered 10,000
units of that monstrosity.
