- About what?

- About what?

There's an emergency board meeting today.

I appreciate the time that... Oh.

- Good morning.

- What's going on?

Well, the Board has reached

a vote of no confidence

in Mr. Connelly's handling

of the Marina deal.

And they've decided to hand it over to me.

What?

Mr. Connelly's been working

on this project for two years.

Yes, and it's come to our attention

that it's going nowhere. Fast.

- I trusted you.

- And I appreciate that.

Well, if that's all...

Wait, wait, wait...

I have been working out all of the problems.

And thanks to your problem-solving skills,

an inflatable castle fell on my son's head

last week.

- Not to mention your blatant dishonesty.

- I don't understand.

Well, it appears that there were several,

let's say, embellishments on your resume.

Harvard? The Stock Exchange?

Fluent in several languages.

Apparently, Mr. Connelly neglected

to do his homework

when it came to hiring you.

But, Debra, you were the one that wrote...

You should also know that

the Board is determining

whether to take legal action against you

for your misrepresentation.

Mr. Connelly took our advice

and resigned this morning.

What?

- I'm so sorry, Mr. Connelly.

- I should have seen it coming, Katie.

I... I didn't know Debra was going to do

this to me.

I used to think that thing people

wrote in yearbooks was stupid,

"Don't ever change." But you know what?

Don't ever change.

How could you do that to him?

- Oh. I didn't do it to him, honey.

- Party pooper.

You did.

I mean, come on.

Didn't you find it a tad odd that

some little country bumpkin,

fresh off the turnip truck would land

a job like this?

But you were supposed to be my mentor.

Oh?

I'd say I taught you a thing or two.

There's no way you're gonna get away

with this,

because I can go straight to the Board

and tell them everything.

Tell them what?

Unless you wanna see your Pap Paw's store

leveled and turned into a strip mall.

- Would you like that?

- You wouldn't do that.

Wouldn't I?

Let's face it, honey.

If I'm in charge now, there's gonna be

some changes around here.

Starting with you, Richard,

and that freeloading son of his.

- What was his name again, Frederick?

- I believe he goes by the name Ben.

Ben? My... My Ben?

The Ben that works in the mailroom

is Mr. Connelly's son?

Oh, dear. Don't tell me he didn't tell you.

Does that mean he lied?

Why wouldn't he tell me?

Poor, poor little small-town girl.

You're just so easy to fool.

It's hard to pass up the opportunity.

Welcome to the Big Apple, sister.

Hey.

Can we talk?

Can we talk? Talk about what?

Betrayal? Strippers? Billy 2.0?

- You're right. I shouldn't be here.

- No, you shouldn't.

Can we just talk about this

for a second, please?

You really hurt me, Billy.

All right. Guess I'll see you around.

Hey. Look who I found out here

wandering around in the hall.

- Just back from Timbuktu.

- What?

- You know, the place where you...

- Where you were modeling.

You know, that really big modeling job

you got?

I told Pap Paw all about it.

Right. Right.

See, I'm kind of a big deal over there.

- Do you wanna know something?

- What?

It just wasn't the same

without the woman I love by my side.

And we were both just saying how great

it would be to move back to Minden.

Together.

Now, that's wonderful.

It does my heart so much good

to see you two getting along so well.

Tell you what.

In the morning, we'll take that old truck

and head back to Minden.

Y'all can ride back with me.

Let's go, let's go. I wanna beat traffic.

Hey. Give me a hug.

Come on. Come on.

Hmm, see? That's better.

We are gonna be so happy together

back home.

You and me, just like old times.

Give me a kiss.

- Better get going.

- Yeah.

I'll get the rest of the bags.

- Hey, little girl.

- Hey, Pap Paw.

Are you sure this is what you wanna do?

Oh, yeah. I'm unbelievably happy.

Funny thing, but I don't exactly believe you.

I thought that Billy was

what you always wanted for me.

In a way, yeah.

What do you mean, in a way?

Well, in the way that he makes you happy.

That's all I ever wanted, you know.

You always seemed happy with Billy,

but last night your face said

something a little different.

I did a little investigating and Haley told me

about what happened between you two.

And I think it was a real lowdown,

dirty thing for him to do.

When I first came up here

and I first saw you,

I couldn't believe how much you'd grown.

- And how happy you seemed.

- Damn it, baby. Hey!

Didn't I tell you not to pack your

perfume with my clothes?

It spilled all over the place.

I'll tell you what let's do.

Man.

- All right, let's vamoose.

- All right. Come on, baby. Get in.

Sorry, Billy.

- This eagle's gotta fly.

- What?

Hey! Hey! Wait, Katie! What about me?

Would you shut the hell up?

We got a long way to go.

Give me a dog with onions, please.

Mustard and onion, coming right up.

A little more, please.

Oh, my God, Ben,

I've been looking for you everywhere.

Oh, yeah, what... What do you need,

your toilet fixed or something?

Debra is gonna close a huge deal tomorrow

and you gotta help me.

The truth of the matter is, I'm pretty busy,

what with the mailroom and all,

but I'm sure you can handle it.

I got faith in you.

Yeah, we're having a very important

meeting today.

There is a disgruntled employee out there,

okay? This woman.

Do not let her in the building.

She looks cute.

Very cute, this woman. See her?

Not so cute, okay?

Wow. Hello. The Marina group. Great.

Large group of Marina people.

- Hey. Wait. Can I get a lift?

- By all means.

- Whoa. Whoa.

- My name's Eric.

Nice to meet you, Eric.

You like my rig?

Miss O'Brien? I would like to

present to you the Marina group.

- Yes, hello. Welcome. Welcome.

- Welcome.

Thank you for coming.

You like to brush your teeth?

- Only when I'm nervous.

- There's nothing to be nervous about.

We're fully insured.

Well, before we begin our presentation,

I trust you've all had the opportunity to

review the documentation I sent earlier.

- So, are there any questions or issues?

- I have a question.

It's Section A, Article 4,

Paragraph 3.2. Curious...

- Thanks, Eric.

- Anytime.

- Here we go.

- Stairs are over there.

Okay.

Bye.

Ben?

Miss Gregerstitch.

- I thought you weren't gonna help me.

- I'm not helping you.

I'm helping my dad. Nothing more.

Why didn't you tell me about him?

Look, my whole life he's been trying

to get me to put a suit on and be like him

and the truth is, that's just not who I am.

- Well, you clean up really nice.

- Thanks.

Well, now that we have that out of the way,

you ready for this?

I have them all prepped

and everything for you.

- Is Debra taken care of?

- Yeah, I spoke to your cousin.

- Okay. Let's do it.

- Okay.

Just walk behind me.

Morning. Hey, look. Is that Ryan Seacrest?

- Wow.

- Really?

- Morning. How are you?

- Morning.

Hi.

Miss Gregerstitch, I'd like to introduce you
