and you'll hit the spot

# I can sell

everything you've got

# Make you into

what you are not

# Package and mould you

Lick you and fold you

# Get your head around this

I am offering bliss

# Blow me a kiss

Do you know who I am?

# Do you know who I am?

# Do you want

to feel the heat

# Of people

screaming at your feet?

# Oh!

Hold yourself steady

# Ah!!

# Yeah, you're already mine

# It's time

# Sign here

# Go get your high heels

I own the big deals

# And if you squander this,

your life is done

# It comes but once, now

# Don't be a dumb cow

# This is your final chance now,

sugar plum... #

Tomorrow, we fly to New York,

just for a few days,

to bang out the deal.

You schmooze and charm

while I screw them

for every cent they've got.

Then it's back here to pack

and off we go.

# Break the glass

Make a pass

# Shake that ass

while you still can

# Do you want

to feel the heat

# Of people

screaming at your feet?

# Oh!

Hold yourself steady

# Ah!!

# Yeah, you're already mine

# It's time

# Sign here

# Da-da-da-da-da

# On the dotted line

# Da-da-da-da

# You're not

that special, baby

# Da-da-da-da

# Da, feel the heat, da-da

# Da-da-da-da-da-da

# Da-da-da-da... #

Ralph! Bring the contract.

Now, as you can imagine,

I have got a million things

to do before we go,

so I will see you

tomorrow morning...

...in the limousine.

- Scary.

- I heard that!

Oh!

It seems just a blink ago

I was sentenced to kitchen duties

for the term

of my natural life, and then...

...you spotted me.

And now I'm off for...

How long is this tour thing?

Oh... Uh, best guesstimate?

Let's see. Uh...

- Three months-ish.

- Three?!

Well, I'll have to get

a full-time nanny.

Yay! A full-time nanny!

You can get

a whole fleet of nannies!

- Whoo!

- Hooray!

And then I can just take them

from hotel to hotel with me.

Sure.

Or you could just...

leave them at home.

Sure. But maybe not

for three months.

People work and travel

with kids and partners.

Look at movie stars.

They do it all the time.

Yeah.

Anyway, I get it.

This is my big chance.

I'd be a fool not to.

Yeah, so,

I need you to sign...

...there, sign there,

initial there and sign there.

- Right.

- Mmm!

With the money

you make from this,

you could pay for

your kids' entire education.

- Oh...

- Mm-hm.

Ralph, I've got to

sit with this.

Read it like

a proper grown-up.

Can I bring it to the airport

tomorrow morning?

Not if you want

to see me alive again.

Oh...

No, why don't I swing by tonight

and pick it up from the hotel?

Oh, Ralph!

You're such a champ.

Thank you.

Thank you for everything.

That's OK.

Oh, what happened, pal?

Did you hurt yourself?

- You OK?

- Fred fell down.

- It's OK. Dada's got you.

- Mama song.

Mama song?

# For you

light up the darkness

# You glow

Don't give up

# Don't give in

Don't let go. #

- Mama song.

- OK, Mama song. OK.

# If you didn't do

what you wanted to

# If you only did

what everybody told you

# Who would you be?

# You will always try

You will always fly

# You will always

look a tiger in the eye

# Take it from me

# I see in your eyes

# There's a movie of dreams

# See there is more to you

# Than it first seems

# See you are brighter

than all the moonbeams

# You know

# For you

light up the darkness

I You glow

# Don't give up

Don't give in

# Don't let go. #

Yeah.

- What's up, buttercup?

- Sorry.

I was just

watching my family.

Oh.

You're gonna be fine.

James is doing a great job.

Yeah. He...

How do you know?

I've been watching too.

Everybody can see it.

It is on your website.

Huh?

You... You...

You just switch from the Sydney

webcam to the Hobart webcam.

You know that.

- Bollocks.

- How could you not know that?

- Can you show me how you...

- What are you so panicked about?

I haven't even told him

about the webcam.

I mean, about me

doing the webcam thing,

let alone the fact

that he and the kids are now...

Oh, how could I?

How could you?

I... I thought you knew.

I'm sorry.

I'm such an idiot!

If I'd just...

Who's done all this artwork?

They... We...

We thought you'd be pleased.

Alright.

Well, I think it's ready.

Oh, there you are.

- Can you please go?

- I need the contract.

I'm starved.

Thank you.

Um...

You've just... missed one.

Just there.

Thanks.

Pick you up from the lobby

in the morning, then.

Oh...

- You're very tense.

- Yeah.

You worry about things,

don't you?

Oh. Oh...

- Is that OK?

- Yeah. Yeah, right there.

Oh, God, yes. Oh...

Where's Fizz?

Oh. Right there.

Oh...

- I'm gonna get going.

- Yeah.

- Yeah. Yeah.

- Um... Oh. Pantry.

Um, are you

feeling better?

Yeah. Good. Alright.

Well, I'll see you... Oh!

I'm sorry.

I'll see you later.

Oh. Bag.

Cherry, you've been great.

Thanks very much.

Oh. No worries.

Sorry. 'Bye! See you later.

- Hello?

- James!

I've got something really big

to tell you

and you're

not gonna like it.

Oh, God. What?

See the plant on the shelf

in the middle of the window?

Hang on one second.

- It's the babysitter. Coming!

- James.

James!

There's a webcam

hidden in your kitchen

and everybody's watching you

on the internet.

What?!

There's a webcam

in your kitchen.

I have to go.

They're coming.

James!

James! James!

James!

Bugged

I'm so sorry, Cassandra.

- I can't come. I'm not coming.

- This is just nerves...

I don't want to be

the next big thing.

Stop. Let's just

get in the car...

All this time, I have been

blaming James and the kids

for making me a nobody.

But it's them that have

turned me into somebody.

No-one is asking you

to leave your family behind.

Don't you see?

That's exactly what will happen.

Three months this time.

- Longer next time, until...

- Get her bags.

No, Cassandra.

I'm not coming.

You signed

a legally binding contract.

Actually, she didn't.

I went to pick up the contract

last night

and she hadn't signed it.

She... said that she was gonna

bring it this morning,

but she's obviously...

ripped it up... or something.

That's right.

There is no contract.

Idiot.

Women like me spend years

doing the hard yards,

creating opportunities

for girls like you.

And what do you do?

You nancy about

with all of this vague,

feel-goody,

New Agey crap

and piss it all away!

Well, if it means

ditching my husband

so that I can break through

the glass ceiling, yeah.

I choose

to piss it all away.

Don't you presume to know

anything about me.

I didn't ditch my husband.

He left me because

I couldn't have children.

And guess why I don't

tell that story to anyone.

I didn't...

Because that story makes me

a sad, lonely loser.

So forgive me

if I spin the story

in a way that seems superficial

to you, Elspeth,

but that is not

how I see myself.

That is not who I am.

I am Cassandra Wolfe.

I run the most successful agency

in the Asia-Pacific.

And I am fabulous!

You are fabulous,

Cassandra.

Good bye.

Thank you.

Come on.
