Ass Backwards
Mmm.
Oh, breathe that in.
Mmm-mmm-mmm.
Mornings in New York.
Got to tell you.
It's another gorgeous day.
Oh, I never get sick of
Mother Nature.
It's just so lush here.
I never understand why people
say it's so hard to live in
Manhattan.
I know!
Oh, spoke too soon.
Let's go over.
Hello, sir.
It's a pleasure to meet your
acquaintance.
I'm Kate.
And I'm Chloe.
Kate me, Chloe her.
Kate and Chloe.
Okay?
We've got some things for
you.
Yeah, buy one more and get a
medium frozen yogurt on me.
And this is a 12-hour energy
shot.
It just lets you keep your
sparkle.
Yeah.
All right?
Oh, well, thank you!
Honestly. It's who we are.
Thank you.
[ Effeminately ] Why don't
you go just put a f***ing animal
inside yourself and call
yourself a f*** party, 'cause
that's what the government's
doing to all of us.
Thank you. Have a great day.
Bye!
Thank you.
I got energy!
I got energy!
He's in a tough spot.
Homeless and battling sexual
identity?
That's a tricky combo.
And one I respect.
Absolutely.
Nice guy, too.
Oh, lovely.
B*tches!
I don't want to waste
anyone's time today.
There are a lot of people who
work in my industry who are
gonna make you promises that
they really can't keep.
But I feel I should tell you
that I've got a lot of other
couples who are banging down my
door, trying to do business with
these ovaries.
In fact, my eggs are some of the
finest that you will find in
Manhattan.
And right now... today... they
are ripe for the picking.
Ma'am, you cannot conduct
your meetings here any longer.
You can't sit here all day
without ordering a coffee.
This is my good friend,
Seth.
Listen.
I didn't hear a "no" from you
guys, so I'm gonna go ahead and
take that as a maybe.
And remember... Kate Fenner,
C.E.O. Of Fenner enterprises,
egg donor to the stars!
That's craigslist for you.
[ Clears throat ]
Okay. You must knock.
I cannot do what I need to do
out there if things are crazy in
here.
We're at places.
Thank you, places.
This...
[ Whispering ]
[ Mid-tempo dance music plays ]
New York City!
Stop!
[ Horns honking ]
Morning, sparkle. Morning, special lady.
Whoa! Whee! Whee!
Okay, time for our horoscopes.
Yeah, what's mine say?
Uh-oh. Chloe? Hmm?
Is that what I think it is?
It's from the pageant.
[ Water gurgles ]
"The town of Neptune invites you...
Anniversary beauty pageant"?
[ Both laugh ] Um... Um...
No, thanks. I'm all set.
I'm good here. I'm okay, thank you, sir.
Oh, my God, when we tell Laurel
about this tonight, she's gonna die!
She's gonna be dead.
[ Sighs ] Thanks, but no spanks.
We're not going.
Yeah, we're not going, and
that's the end of the discussion.
So, the 50th anniversary... they're
just inviting everybody back to compete.
Wow. This is...
Really something.
I can't remember the last time I
thought of our pageant days. Oh.
Pssh! I haven't
thought about that in ages.
Little Kate, when you grow up, do you want
to be a mommy who enters the workforce or a
mommy who stays home? Um... Well,
can you maybe repeat the question?
When you're a mommy, do you want to enter
the workforce, or do you want to stay home?
Workplaces are where people work.
Are you a moron, kid?
[ Audience laughs ]
Such fun times. Here she is, singing
the song Tammy Wynette made famous.
Take it away, little Chloe! [ Audience
applauds ] [ Microphone feedback buzzes ]
[ Loudly and off-key ] ? stand
by your man ? give him two arms
to cling to ? Jesus, kid, you're
blowing everybody's eardrums out.
Back off the Mike!
[ Loudly and off-key ] ? stand by
your man ? and tell the world...
[ audience boos ] All right.
Come on. That's enough.
How about some Mike technique, huh?
[ Booing continues ]
Those were the days.
It's little Megan! [ Audience applauds
] Spent four hours on that hair,
such a patient girl. And now the
moment you've all been waiting for.
Please give a big round of applause
to Neptune's newest little li'l,
little miss Laurel. [ Audience applauds
] ? I can dream about you ?
Little Laurel... it's her second win in this category.
This girl is just a winner.
Don't cry. I thought you
were really good out there.
I loved your answer. And you
really do have the voice of an angel.
Well, your answer wasn't easy, and
Honestly, Chloe, even if we did want to go, I
don't think we'd be able to find the time.
Okay, who has the time with our
careers blowing up the way they are?
And so, yes, up until then, my entire life
had been about winning... winning the crown,
winning the modeling contract, winning the husband.
But what I would soon learn is
that helping others would be my
greatest win of all. Wow.
Okay. Wow! That's...
Yes! Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Shh!
The proceeds from today's sales will
go to Laurel's ladies, my charity,
which gives makeover to low-income gals so
that they can have the opportunity to look
like me... If only for one day.
Thank you, Laurel.
Wow! Thank you, Laurel!
People, get up!
You are such an inspiration. I'm a huge fan.
Okay, she gets it!
You're embarrassing yourself. Book, please.
Who am I making it out to?
Good one, Laurel! If you haven't bought
a book, I'm gonna have to ask you to...
silly goose. It's Kate and Chloe.
Kate and Chloe?
Kate me, Chloe her. Kate and Chloe.
ThaKate and Chloe, from my
pageant days? There she is.
She's on the page.
Yes, of course. I want you to know that
both of you have been in my prayers all
these years. Coming in dead
last couldn't have been easy.
Well, you know, that was then, and this is now.
So, I'd say we're doing pretty
good. Not too shabby.
Now, if we can let the
paying customers in, shall we? Yes, we should.
Guys, keep a single file,
okay? She does not have
all day, so, in and out.
Have your books ready. I'm
actually headed to Neptune next weekend.
They asked me to... compete
in the anniversary pageant?
Yeah, we got an invite, too. No,
they asked me to be a celebrity judge.
Can you even stand it? What have the two
of you been up to since the circuit?
[ Sighing ] Oh, God. Chloe, I know
for sure you haven't been doing anything
creative. Talent was never
really your thing, was it?
You know what, actually, Laurel?
Chloe's been performing every
single night for crowds of about 500-plus.
Well, you do.
Wow! That's really surprising.
What about you, Kate?
If times serve me, you weren't the
brightest bulb in the light shop.
Okay, Kate works in the medical profession now.
Got to have big-time brains for
that. What do you specialize in?
You know, I don't have a
medical degree, per se...
she's an egg donor. Yeah.
But she's got big dreams of managing other
girls' eggs when she inevitably ages out of the
field. That's long-term stuff,
but it's gonna be exciting.
I love the way the two of you aren't
embarrassed about where you are in life.
Thank you. Listen. If
you two need any help from
