Jack's twin brother?

What kind of coincidence is that?

Well, I don't believe it is.

I think it's God making a way.

You honestly think

you're gonna walk up into that kitchen

and nobody's going to know

that you don't belong there?

Hmm-mm-mm.

I already called that country club

and I told that woman

I was part of the new staff.

She told me what time to be there.

She told me what to wear.

I'm just gonna go on in there.

Pretend I'm one of them folks.

Mm-hmm.

All right. Suppose that works out.

Then What?

You gonna be working.

You think you just gonna

walk up to either

Richard or Lottie DuLonde

and start talking to them?

What you gonna say?

Yeah, I believe that the Lord

is gonna put the right words

right up in my mouth.

Okay, and suppose

they decide not to help you.

What if instead they decide

to have you arrested?

Well, you just gonna come bail me out,

and we figure out what we gonna do next.

You know you crazy.

No, hon, I'm Cajun.

- Dad.

- What?

I'm not so sure about this anymore.

What? Why?

All the judges are men.

It seems weird.

Well, look.

This... this was your idea.

You know, you...

you can't back out now.

It's...

Wait here.

- Yeah.

- Most of the buyers aren't interested.

Okay, could you, uh...

You think I'll make more than last time?

Oh, she's younger, for sure.

- That bring lot more.

- Okay.

Now the one to the side is the deal.

He's got more money

than all buyers combined.

You get his interest, you got it made.

- All right?

- Okay, so, okay.

Sweetheart, you see that man there?

He's the most important judge

of the pageant.

You get him to like you,

no matter what, okay?

- Okay.

- No matter what. Come on.

I'll introduce you. Huh?

I've never seen him touch

a girl's hair like that.

That's a very, very good sign.

Well, gentlemen, we look ridiculous.

This was not the costume

I was expecting.

Why didn't you tell us about this?

I just found out about it myself,

but I appreciate

you guys being good sports.

- It means a lot to my mom.

- And you don't look too bad, Matt.

Maybe you'll actually now

be able to pick up a chick.

Ooh, there's gonna be

some single ladies here?

There's gonna be single ladies here,

but not that we'll be

paying attention to, right?

Gotta be on point.

All work and no play

makes Wil a dull boy.

I may be dull, but we are here to work,

least until my parents leave,

then you guys can play all you want.

Maybe you can pick up those chicks.

To business. Tonight's security

is really cut and dry.

These pins I'm about to

give you guys are the key.

Last week we Fed-Ex'd one

to every guest and every

employee that's gonna be here,

letting them know they had to

have them on at all times.

No pin no entrance.

No pin, no stay.

Your only job tonight is make sure

everybody's wearing one at all times

and if they're not,

you bring them straight to me.

You got it?

- Got it.

- Real simple.

The three of you with me.

Matt you take those four.

- We know what we're doing?

- We do. Let's do this.

Okay, Aggie, you can do this.

Looks like it's gonna be

a fine ball, don't you think?

Yes, they always are.

Have I seen you here before?

No, uh, this is my first time, actually,

and I want to make a great impression.

Then don't worry about a thing.

I can show you where to go.

- I'm Julie.

- Oh, thank you so much.

I'm Aggie.

They've been really picky

about who got to work this gig.

I'm surprised

they brought in someone new.

Oh, well, I'm sure

the only reason I got in

was because of, um,

my good friend, Bessie.

Who's Bessie?

Oh, well,

uh, Bessie is, um,

Miss Lottie DuLonde's

personal housekeeper.

And Miss Lottie told her

that she's worried about having

enough servants for this event,

so I told her I'd be happy to help out

and, um, um, it's been...

things have been

real tight lately, you know?

So, I am so grateful

for this extra work.

- How lucky.

- Uh-huh.

I'm sure tonight's

gonna be an amazing party.

And don't forget your gold pin.

- What?

- Your gold pin.

Didn't you get one?

Oh, Bessie,

she told me Miss Lottie has one for me.

Oh, okay.

I'm gonna go ahead and

start going over the agenda

- with the staff.

- Okay.

Just to make sure the guys

are checking for pins

that we talked about.

Why don't you go

and get everybody's attention.

Thanks, man.

Hello, everyone. If I could have

your attention just for a moment.

This is Wil.

He's gonna be giving us

our instructions for tonight.

So let's listen up.

Hi, Guys. Thank you so much

for being here.

Uh, here's the deal.

It's real, real simple.

I just want to go over

the schedule for this evening.

All right, at 6:
00 o'clock

we're gonna start serving

hors d'oeuvres and pre-dinner drinks.

6:
30 we'll have a greet.

7:
30 we'll start with dinner.

And then at 9:
30, we'll move

all the festivities back in the mansion.

Okay?

Real simple,

but if you have any questions

you certainly can speak with

Tyler, or Matt, or myself.

We'll be hanging out

for a few minutes, okay?

Let's have a great evening.

Thanks for being here.

Excuse me, ma'am.

- Hi.

- Hi.

I don't think we've met before.

I'm Wil. What's your name?

Uh, Agata Prejean.

I... as you know I forgot my pin

and I was just gonna

go downstairs and get it.

I could come right back up

here and show it to you,

so please don't send me home.

I'm... I'm not gonna send you

home, okay? You're not in trouble.

I just knew

that I hadn't met you before.

- Oh.

- Okay. What was your name again?

- Agata Prejean.

- It's beautiful.

- Thank you.

- Will you do me a favor?

Will you go get your pin,

bring it back up here.

I'm gonna hang out here

for a few minutes.

- Okay?

- Oh, okay.

- And then we'll speak again.

- All right.

But I'm not gonna send you home, okay?

- Thank you, sir.

- Thank you.

I'll see you in just a few minutes.

- All right.

- All right.

That's it.

That's it.

How long are we gonna

wait for her to come back?

Just a few more minutes.

You really think this lady's a threat?

No.

- Excuse me, Wil.

- Hi.

- I don't expect you to remember me.

- Of course.

- You're Julie McDonald, right?

- Yes, wow.

Good to see you.

What can I do for you?

I saw you talking

to that older lady, Aggie.

Yeah, I think

that was Agata Prejean, right?

- Do you know her?

- We just met.

But she's so sweet, and real nervous

about working here.

It sounded like

she really needs this job,

so I was hoping

you'd take it easy on her.

Yeah, I... I know I freaked her out.

I didn't mean to.

I just never met her before tonight.

Oh, well, that's probably

because your mom hired her

at the last minute.

- Really?

- Yeah. Aggie says

she's good friends with your

mom's housekeeper, Bessie.

That's how she found

out about the job.

Got it.

Okay, well, thank you so much

for the information.

- Will you do me a favor?

- Sure.

When you see her, just let her know

that I wasn't trying to freak her out.
