Synopsis: Marcus is a successful advertising executive who woos and beds women almost at will. After a company merger, he finds that his new boss, the ravishing Jacqueline, is treating him in exactly the same way. Completely traumatized by this, his work goes badly downhill. But then, Jacqueline's more quietly attractive assistant, Angela, who has been dating Marcus' best friend, shows herself more than a little concerned by his perilous state.

I was callin' all over New York. You

could've been on a road somewhere.

That's very sweet.

That's very, very sweet.

One of my tricks, OK?

I know the flower thing.

Listen, I'm upset with you. What you did

was inconsiderate, and I'm upset.

Well, maybe I should just go.

Yeah.

I'll go.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Listen...

Look, I had a long day.

You had a long day.

I'm trippin', I'm buggin' out,

and maybe I'm goin' a little overboard.

You dry off. Let's put this whole thing

behind us and just squash this thing.

So, does this mean

that you forgive me?

This means I'm being a bit emotional,

and I acknowledge that,

and we should just squash it.

Well, I think it means you forgive me.

- You have no clothes on underneath.

- No.

You're too much.

You knew you was wrong, that's why

you came over in your drawers.

Cos you knew that it wasn't right.

- It's Jacqueline's.

- Say it.

Jacqueline.

- Whose is it, huh? Whose is it?

- It's yours. It's yours.

Wait, wait, wait,

I don't wanna come yet.

No, no, no, no. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yes.

No, wait, wait, don't do nothin'.

No... Don't you say nothin'.

Don't say nothin'. No, don't touch me.

Don't touch me. Don't move.

Don't do nothin'. Just hold still. Hold...

No, no. Don't, don't. Oh, no. Sh*t.

You knew I was coming.

You knew I was. You knew I was.

I have to call my mother.

Where you goin'?

Home. I have to give a speech

in the morning to the board of directors.

But thank you. You were great.

God, Marcus, I was so tense when I got

off the plane, but you really relaxed me.

So, Mr Graham, thank you.

You really have to go?

But I'll call you

sometime tomorrow, OK?

Get some sleep.

Call me.

- Would anyone care for some dessert?

- Yeah, I'll have the tiramisu.

- I just want some coffee.

- And for the lady?

I am on a diet.

- v ery good.

- Diet? Diet, schmiet.

Are you crazy? You look great. I can't

wait to get you down to the Caribbean.

I'm not sure I'm going anywhere.

You've gotta go. Marcus has planned

a wonderful trip. We're gonna have fun.

Yeah. I'm gonna make a phone call.

- Go make a phone call.

- Excuse me. Yeah.

I know you were concerned about

how the layout was gonna be,

but I'm picturin' you

and beautiful white beaches,

and powder-blue skies,

crystal beautiful water.

You stand in the middle of it,

lookin' breathtakin'.

So, when are we gonna f***?

- What?

- According to Jacqueline,

you are really great in bed.

Jacqueline told you

I was really good in bed?

Well, according to Jacqueline,

you really know how to

move your ass, you know?

She told you I know how to

move my ass in bed? OK.

OK, well, I don't know what Miss...

what Jacqueline has told you,

but it's not that kinda party,

and I'd appreciate it if... Stop that.

Stop. Stop it. Will you stop it?

Merde, alors. Man, I don't believe this.

You are going to turn down

a p*ssy like this?

Staring you smack in your face?

No man can turn down this p*ssy.

- Will you stop it?

- I don't know any man that can refuse.

Stop saying p*ssy, people are eating.

P*ssy. P*ssy.

P*ssy. P*ssy.

P*ssy. Puss, puss, p*ssy.

Tryin' to find our cat. Where is that cat?

- What's the matter with you?

- You don't like women?

Yes, that's it.

I don't like women. I mean, I'm gay.

You're not gay. You're not gay,

you just don't wanna f*** me.

I know a gay man. I know what

a gay guy looks like. My brother is gay.

And you. You. He's gay.

And he is gay.

- OK, what did you say to her?

- What did I say?

I heard this woman

screaming from the bathroom.

How dare you discuss what I do with

you in bed sexually with that woman?

As soon as you leave,

she starts sayin' she wants to f*** me.

- How could you talk about what I do?

- She said that?

- You said it...

- She's a little off.

She starts talkin' about

how my ass moves. I know you said it.

Don't expect me

to sleep with people for business.

- You did with Lady Eloise.

- Excuse me, that is a rumour.

We do not know if I slept with

Lady Eloise. I had a chitchat with her.

- Please, Marcus.

- Please, my ass.

Don't discuss what I do with you

with other people.

I'll handle this.

OK, Strang, what's the problem?

- I'm not going.

- Now, listen.

You're gonna

have yourself on the plane,

or I will not only take back

the million-two I am paying you,

I will sue you for every goddamn dime

you've got. Do you understand that?

What an absolutely

exhausting evening, huh?

To tell you the truth, Marcus,

I don't feel very well.

Don't touch me. Don't touch me.

You've made me feel dirty.

I don't believe this is happenin' to me.

Look at you. God, Marcus,

you're gettin' yourself all upset

and worked up over nothing.

Nothin'? That's what sex is to you.

Whatever happened to

caring and commitment?

Some people still think

things like that are important.

You've made it painfully obvious

that you're not one of them people.

Well, why don't I give you a second

to think about it, hm?

Really?

Yeah. I think you should, you know,

do your own thing.

OK, Marcus.

It's over.

Good night.

Good night.

Marcus. Marcus. I don't believe the way

you let her dog you out like that.

You're walkin' around

with your head down, mopin'.

Where's your pride?

Where's your dignity?

You think Malcolm X died so you could

walk around lookin' like a chump?

Bony, not today, OK?

Sad, man.

First the Fat Boys break up, now this.

There's nothin' to believe in.

Good morning, Marcus.

Morning.

- Morning.

- Good morning.

Good morning, Marcus Graham.

Morning.

Marcus? Excuse me.

I need the storyboards for the Strang

spots. I'm shooting next week.

- Shoot whatever you wanna shoot.

- Whatever I want to shoot?

It's your show.

- I have complete autonomy?

- You the man.

Thank you. Bless you. Bye.

Excuse me. Jacqueline,

can I talk to you for just a second?

- Yeah, sure.

- I know it's none of my business,

what's going on with you and Marcus,

but can you try to take it easy on him?

Please?

Excuse me?

Well, whatever it is you're doing to him,

it's starting to affect his work.

What I am doing to him?

Yeah.

Well, it seems like whatever it is

I'm doing to him,

you are taking rather personally.

- Am I mistaken? Huh?

- No, Jackie.

I'm just saying, it's just

affecting his work, that's all.

Well, we don't wanna do that.

Thanks, Jack.

We have something exciting coming up.

After months of hard work by our

creative team, you are about to see

the commercial that will launch

our $18 million push

for the new Strang fragrance.

Lights, please.

- How is it?

- I haven't seen it. I let Nelson do it.

This is my vision. It is fabulous.

Fabulous.

Strang.

It stinks so good.

That is ridiculous.

Well, the board

wanted me to let you go.

I convinced them

to give you another chance.

Well, as an employee, I thank you

for saving my job, and as your lover,

- I thank you for ruining my life.

- Come on, I didn't ruin your life.
