You're incredible.

Mr. Winston:
Is she?

Oh, um...

Mr. Winston.

What a surprise.

Oh, um, I think I

should take this moment

to tell you how

deeply sorry I am

that I didn't make it

over this afternoon

to personally apologize about,

you know, last night,

but the most incredible

thing has happened to me.

You see, s-s-she...

Shut up.

I'm going to enlighten

you, young man.

Uhh! Now, you

and this floozy

of yours here...

Hi. I'm Eddie Winston.

It's an honor to meet you.

Uh, um, Mr. Winston,

this is, um... Her.

You see, she was hurt, and

I wanted to help her.

You see, Patty

totally misunderstood

when she came over...

Say no more, Jim.

I completely understand.

Why don't you two

just have a good time?

I'll explain to pattycat

and take care of everything.

You don't worry about a thing.

I-I don't think that

would be a very good idea.

You, you just take good care

of this lovely lady.

You promise me that?

I promise.

Great.

Ok, now you two

just have a wonderful time.

I-I just think you make

a wonderful couple

and I'll just take care

of everything, ok?

Good night, Jim.

Jim:
Good night, sir.

Good night, miss.

I hope I do get

to see you again.

Golly.

Ah. I feel really good!

Wait a minute.

Wait!

Good boy. Good dog.

Stay.

Sit!

Stop!

Aaah!

Owwwaah!

Had enough!

Ha. Hello.

Is something the matter?

I mean...

Don't you sleep?

Uh, no, I...

do you remember the girl?

The girl... Patty?

Well, we're gonna get married.

I mean, it's not like I don't

wanna go with you, but...

look, tomorrow, I promise.

We'll figure

everything out, ok?

I mean, we'll find out

where you belong

and who you are.

Ok?

Woman:
Winston's cosmetics.

Man:
Well, I heard...

Second man:
Yeah, I heard

they may go under.

I'll transfer you. Thank you.

Winston's cosmetics.

Aldridge, we all know

the test results

on the ethereal line,

and I for one don't want

to hear them anymore.

The question that we are

here to answer is

what was at fault?

Why did it fail?

Who are we gonna blame?

Uh... The advertising

campaign was

poorly conceived, sir?

I agree.

Right. We can

teller and gillette

and we start again. Agreed?

Uh, Mr. Winston, excuse me, but

isn't the situation

far more crucial

than just changing ad agencies?

I mean, doesn't

the whole future

of Winston's cosmetics

depend on...

now, that is not true!

I want these rumors squashed.

This company is

in perfectly capable... oh!

Excuse me.

I don't know

if you all know, but

I was attacked last night.

We're sorry to hear that, sir.

It was worth it.

For what I discovered...

I found a face to die for.

A complexion

that every female on earth

would sell her soul for.

I'm telling you, this girl

is the ethereal beauty.

With her, we could

go international.

She is everything

we could ever hope for.

That sounds great, Mr. Winston.

We're behind you 200%, sir.

Yeah. Who is this girl?

My daughter's

fiance's mistress.

Are you sure

we can get her, sir?

Oh, we'll get her.

I will definitely get her.

Uh, what about

your daughter, sir?

This is business, aldridge.

Ed Winston's daughter

will understand.

Get out!

I don't want to hear any more.

Now, wait, wait, wait. Now,

just think about the good...

Aah! Look, once I get

this girl working

and out of the way,
