structure to his face.

Mm-hmm. I mean, what's the point?

He's in the fashion business.

He probably only dates... you know.

- Promiscuous women?

- No. Models.

Fine. If you think he wants a model,

we will give him a model.

Oh, no.

No!

- Make over!

- If you change your mind I'm the first in line

Honey, I'm still free

Take a chance on me

If you need me, let me know

Gonna be around

If you got no place to go

when you're feelin' down

If you're all alone

when the pretty birds have flown

Honey, I'm still free

take a chance on me

Gonna do my very best

and it ain 't no lie

Can you put me to the test

Can you let me try

Take a chance on me

Take a chance on me

I can't wearthis. I look like a skank.

You can wear it, honey.

I'm just not sure how long you'll keep it on.

Remember, when you walk in,

you're the most beautiful woman in the room.

Well, you're in the top four.

True.

Oh, and keep your cheeks clenched.

Not those. These.

Oh, and most important, don't forget to turn them on,

the headlights.

Okay. Allright.

Here comes--

Hey, Jimmy, a piece of heaven fell into

my office today, I swear to God.

And she signed with you, Nick.

When did she get the third eye removed?

Ladies. Ladies.

Ladies, the first glass was free,

but this one is gonna cost ya.

My God.

Hey, Ivan. Harold.

Hey, Jimmy, just got some new samples in.

You wanna open 'em now or later?

I will take her now...

and her later.

- [ Barks ]

- [Women Giggling]

Bernie!

- Megan!

Just because we work

together doesn't mean

We can't, you know--

- I mean, why do you have to act all--

- Excuse me.

Hey,Jade? I'll see you.

Yeah?

- Where are you going?

- I think I was wrong about Jim. I'm out.

So, what was that

you were saying about me?

Hold it! Wait!

- Amanda?

- Jim!

- Ah! Ah!

- OW!

Guh!

Oh, hi.

I didn't recognize you

without your big, drooling dog.

I barely recognize you.

Yeah, I live with models.

I was their science project tonight.

So, you're a model.

Oh, yeah. Supermodel.

I meant to say that I hope you're not a model.

You're not like most of the women I see

at these parties.

What is it you do?

I restore paintings at the Met.

- Really?

- Yeah. That's why I'm leaving.

I wish I could leave.

- Why? You seemed like you were having a great time.

- Oh--

Well, my job basically consists of kissing ass

and smiling while I do it.

- Ah.

- But that's not really me.

So the split personality emerges.

You're really two different people.

You could look at it that way.

We'd, uh, both like to talk to you.

Well, I don't want to keep

you two from your party, so--

Hey, as far as we're concerned,

you are the party.

Allright!

Ha-ha!

But why did she leave you?

I mean, you're practically perfect.

I mean, it sounds like you two were a great couple.

You know what my problem is?

I think everybody's basically good.

Then I fall for them right away.

And then I get disappointed.

Hmm.

I know exactly what you mean.

Not saying that I was ever the best boyfriend.

Work kept me away for long hours.

She thought it was dangerous.

She thought the fashion business was dangerous?

Dangerous. To my health.

You know, stressful.

Well, I'd hate to see anything happen to you,

and I onlyjust met you.

Thereyou are. Jim.

Come back to the party, man.

There's somebody I Want you to meet.

Great. Was the chairman able to make it?

Oh, no, not the chairman.

Just some V.I.P.s in from Antwerp.

Okay, okay.

Hold on a second.

Remember that ass I hate kissing?

Well, this is Belgian ass.

The worst.

Well, I wouldn't know,

but I'll take your word for it.

Hey, maybe we could meet on purpose next time.

A date?

Yeah.

You know, actually, my schedule's pretty crazy

the next few weeks.

Uh-- Yeah, me too.

I have this big project at the museum.

And Mr. Rankin--

Goodnight, Jim.

Good night.

- Amanda.

- Huh?

- My jacket.

- Oh.

Thanks.

Jim, come on.

Forget about that one.

This party's swarming with 'em. Come on.

Amanda!

I...

wanna...

go out with you.

- Asthma?

- Only when I'm under stress.

Look,

I usually hide in my work--

I mean, behind my work.

So I don't hurt anyone.

I mean, get hurt.

I think we're both alike.

You mean, inarticulate?

Yeah.

That's the word I was looking for.

- What are you doing Saturday?

- Huh?

Whoa! I thought I told you

to get those knees looked at.

And you know What?

What?

He likes me without the dress

and the makeup and the stiletto heels.

Oh, Mandy, maybe the next one

will work out for you.

Mmm, there's not gonna be a next one. He is the one.

Oh! Oops!

[Thudding]

There you are!

We thought you got a room.

You guys looked

so cute together.

Guess what.

What?

- He totally kissed me.

- Oh!

- You go, girl!

- You are in love with him.

Oh!

Who's that?

- Oh, it's--

- Another woman.

Maybe they're

just good friends.

Then why is he closing the blinds?

He nevercloses the blinds.

- Maybe she's his sister.

- We are not in the outback, Candi.

We are so sorry. Our creep radar didn 't

go off with him at all.

It's okay. I haven't been able

to believe my eyes or my heart.

- Why should my knees be any different, right?

- You know what? Forget him.

- Why don't you come out with us?

- No, no, no. You guys go ahead.

- You sure?

- Uh-huh. I'm totally fine.

Okay.

Oh, Mandy, I can't see you,

but I know you must be sad.

My God.

[ Woman Screams ]

- Oh, my God!

- Did someone scream?

Temporary blindness has improved my hearing.

You guys, get out here.

What?

Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God.

- What's happening?

- Are they having sex?

- I think he killed her.

- How do you mean, "killed"?

Killed, as in dead.

Well, Where's the body?

Huh?

She's gone.

She was lying right there.

Where are you going?

You're calling him?

Yeah, I wanna make sure he didn't hurt himself

while he was killing the blonde.

- That's so sweet.

- I'm calling the police.

Hi. Um, I'd like

to report a murder.

I'll hold.

How many screams did you hear?

Just one.

It's right here?

It's right here.

And so you turned around and, poof,

the body just disappears?

I didn't say "poof", I believe I said "bam."

And bam, the body's gone.

I'm sure it is.

Hello, Officer. What's happening?

Okay.

So, what exactly did this Winston guy do?

Well, there were the Catholic schoolgirls--

What did he do with the schoolgirls?

He was buying candy bars.

But that's not--

- Were the schoolgirls witnesses or accomplices?

- Well, I don't know,

but Mr. Perfect sure did spend a lot of money.

Who's Mr. Perfect?

We call him Mr. Perfect...

- because of the old lady, the big dog and the love child.

- The love child?

Look, forget about the love child.

I will tell you exactly what I saw--

We saw him lifting.

The body didn't disappear? You saw him lift it?

No! We saw him lift himself

up and down, up and down.

Yeah, he gets very sweaty.

- Okay, so you didn't see him lift the body?

- Like I told you before--
