I Feel Pretty Page #4

You look like you.

All we have to do

are get new photos of me.

You know, like, a photo shoot

for the new Renee.

Like maybe a hip-hop vibe.

Like St. Tropez.

You know,

let's get this in a bikini,

on a jet ski with,

like, Lil Wayne,

or Lil' Bow Wow,

or one of the Lil's.

I don't think that's a thing.

Which thing?

The whole...

Like, all those things.

One of the... A big one...

Big... Medium George?

I don't know who it is,

but it's going to be

hip-hop

and it's going to be hot.

No, we're going to do it.

Hot bikini action.

You know,

I don't have a yacht, but...

Does your brother

still have a kayak?

MAN:
(ON ANSWERING MACHINE)

Hi, this message

is for Renee Bennett.

Please call Helen Grey's

office at Lily LeClaire

to set up your interview

for the receptionist position.

(SIGHS)

(EXCLAIMS)

Renee Bennett?

Yeah. I'm Renee. Hi.

No, I'm looking

for Renee Bennett

for the receptionist job.

That's me. Here.

Okay.

You must be Renee.

I'm Helen Grey, CFO.

We spoke on the phone.

And this is our CEO,

Avery LeClaire.

Hello, Renee.

Hello.

Take a seat,

make yourself comfortable.

Thank you so much.

Uh, it's nice to finally meet

you face to face, Ms. Grey.

And I of course know

who you are, Miss LeClaire.

Renee currently works

in the online division.

Oh, wow, super.

Yeah, but I figure I can be

real with you guys,

like Gayle King real, and say

that it would be a shame

to waste all this in

a tiny Chinatown office.

I think we've got more

of a front-of-house

situation on our hands.

Am I right or wrong?

(CHUCKLES) Yeah.

Renee, we appreciate

you taking the initiative,

but you're not exactly

the obvious choice

for this job.

Helen.

RENEE:
No, I totally get it.

Because I already

work for the company,

and this job would actually be

a pay cut

to my current salary.

It doesn't make much sense

why I'm here.

So what are your goals,

exactly?

(SIGHS)

To work here

as a receptionist.

Wow.

Okay, because most girls,

they view this

as a stepping stone

to modeling

or to opening their

own e-commerce boutique.

I hear you. And yes,

modeling is an option for me.

You are taking a risk.

Is this girl going to

walk out of this office

and right onto the runway

and never look back?

Is that realistic for me?

1,000%. But it's not who I am.

My only real goal

is to come here

to this office every day,

and help people feel

the same way I feel

when I step off that elevator,

that this is

the only place to be.

(SIGHS)

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

(SCREAMS) Yes, yes, yes, yes!

I got it!

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

I work here now!

- (KNOCKING)

- Mason, you in here?

It's me, Renee.

Can we talk in the office?

We can just talk here,

it's fine.

(SIGHS) Things have changed

for me, Mason.

They're moving me to HQ.

(CHUCKLES)

It's headquarters.

Everything I've ever wanted...

I really need you to leave.

I really would rather

you not hear the splash.

Don't worry.

I talked to them,

and HR is already

interviewing

for my replacement.

- HR is just human resources.

- (QUIETLY FARTING)

Go, please. Go.

And I know you're happy here.

But anyway, I gotta go.

If you just finally

got the courage

to ask me out, it's too late,

buddy.

(FORCED LAUGH)

Go please. Go.

I'll miss you. You want me

to leave it open?

- No.

- No?

(SIGHS)

Sh*t!

Whoo!

You're gonna wanna

head to marketing,

and you're gonna wanna

have a great time.

- (BOTH CHUCKLES)

- (PHONE RINGS)

She's headed to you,

she's adorable.

Good morning.

Hi, you know what,

I think I pressed

the wrong floor.

I'm looking for Lily LeClaire,

and this is not...

RENEE:
Nope, that's us.

Welcome to Lily LeClaire.

You're probably used to seeing

Angie sit here,

but I promise

to win you over, too.

She served her bottle

of water room temp.

Now, I prefer

to serve it chilled.

I also serve it with a straw,

so you don't have to mess

with your fierce lipstick.

God, I love that shade.

What is it, Rogue Red?

Fall 2015?

I don't know any Angie.

What confused me

when I walked into this place,

honestly, is you and...

I know, right?

You're not the only one. Okay.

People don't expect a girl

sitting back here

to just be so on the ball.

See, that's not what I was...

But I know what it means

to work hard.

And I don't plan on

coasting off the benis

of this face or this body.

I'm going to bring it

every day.

I can see by your portfolio

that you're here

from the Rose Sheet,

which happens to be

my absolute favorite

trade publication.

So I'll let them know that

you're here for your 10:30,

and you can have a seat.

Or if you prefer,

get steps in to meet

your Fitbit goal for the day.

This hallway loops around,

and I'll let you know

when they're ready.

Welcome to Lily LeClaire.

Thanks.

And my name is Renee,

if you need

absolutely anything at all.

Ever, ever.

- (LAUGHS)

- (PHONE RINGS)

Hi, Lily LeClaire,

you've got Renee.

Oh, I'll put you through.

Hello, Renee.

(SIGHS)

It's all right.

I overheard your name.

I'm here to meet Avery,

but could you not make me wait

next to that lady.

I don't think I'll be

as nice to her as you were.

(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)

Oh, thank God. Okay, okay.

You're Grant LeClaire.

Yes.

Holy sh*t. Holy sh*t.

Relax, you're good.

Okay, okay.

Right. Um...

Well, Grant,

I noticed on Page Six,

that you are often

photographed drinking

these Pressed Juicery

Greens 1.5.

Correct? I saw that

and I brought it here, in case

you were ever to come in.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome,

Grant LeClaire.

Sorry, what, you've seen me

holding these?

So you got them in

just for me?

I've also seen you holding

a lot of Brazilian models,

but I didn't think they'd fit

in the mini-fridge.

(LAUGHS)

Okay, cool, I thought

you were gonna be mad

'cause I called you out

so hard.

Who hired you, Renee?

Avery. Your sister.

Yes, I know who she is.

Good. 'Cause Thanksgiving

would be really weird.

I don't know if you guys

do things like Thanksgiving.

Yeah, we do.

Oh, my God, that's crazy.

So, Avery, huh?

Good for her.

Yes.

Oh, my God.

AVERY:
This is our first

diffusion line,

and I really owe it

to my grandma

to get it right.

We are at a critical stage

for both the product itself,

and the packaging

and the copy.

So, now for the exciting part,

let's look at out samples.

This is our...

I'm so sorry. So sorry.

I am so sorry!

Okay, going to put it all back

right where it was.

Here is the blush.

All right, and here is

the packaging,

and I just need to find

the application brush,

and then we can move on

with our lives.

There is no application brush.

Oh.

Really?

Okay. Got it.

Does that come

as a surprise to you?

Because if you knew

our products,

you'd know that

our blush never comes

with an application

blush brush.

Of course I know that.

Same as the Shimmering

Face Powders.

I just figured

for this particular product,

you know,

that there might be one.

But never mind, you guys,
