I Feel Pretty Page #7

After falling off an exercise bike and banging her head, she believes a spell has suddenly made her gorgeous. Except to everyone else, she looks exactly the same. Renee's new confidence suddenly sees her climbing the ranks at the cosmetics company she works for, getting the respect of her idol and boss, Avery LeClaire (Williams). Ultimately Renee realizes 'the spell' has lifted, but through the process learns true beauty is not skin deep.

No, but you're honest

about it.

And it just

makes me feel really,

I don't know, close to you.

Are you going to kiss me?

I was just gonna

get as close as I could...

Uh-huh.

- To tell you...

- Yeah?

That I...

You have a girlfriend?

That I would love to kiss you.

RENEE:
Just give me

one minute.

Yeah, no worries,

take your time.

- Hey.

- Hey. Hey...

Wow.

I thought you might want a

sneak peek of what's to come.

I don't know if you know

what "sneak peek" means.

You're completely naked.

Oh, how embarrassing.

Do you want me to go cover up?

No.

No?

No.

Cool.

(SIGHS)

Okay.

- Ethan, are you coming?

- Yup.

Hi.

Thanks for coming over.

(RENEE MURMURS)

(MOANING)

- Um...

- What?

Yeah, I want you to see me.

You know?

Oh, yeah, no, 100%.

I'm definitely

loving seeing you.

I just didn't know

if you wanted to see me.

No, I want to see you.

- Okay.

- Yeah.

Oh, my God.

Oh...

Oh, my God!

Are you looking in the mirror?

Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, that is so hot.

It felt good the whole time.

- The whole time?

- The whole time.

- That was my favorite part.

- This is perfect.

I liked the whole time.

Yeah, and you were

such a great leader.

- You really took over.

- (BOTH LAUGHING)

Thank you, and you

follow the leader well.

I was willing to do...

Wait, shh... Do you hear that?

- What is it?

- Is that the ice cream man?

I think that's

the ice cream man.

(DISTANT SIREN WAILING)

Oh, no,

it's just an ambulance.

Renee, you're just naked

at the window.

Everybody down there

can see you.

Well, they're welcome.

(LAUGHS)

- It's a good neighborhood.

- Uh... How...

How do you do that?

Do what?

I don't know,

have all of the confidence?

I wasn't always like that.

And what changed?

I started to

really believe that

if I wanted it bad enough,

all my dreams could come true.

And they are. You know?

Yeah.

(CHIMING MUSIC PLAYING)

That is the ice cream man.

Okay. That might be

the ice cream man.

All right, follow me

right this way.

Your guests are

in the private dining room.

Private dining room?

Mmm.

It must be

a company-wide thing,

or I wouldn't have

been invited.

Okay.

- What the...

- Sorry.

That's a very small company.

So, how did you two meet?

Uh, we actually met

at the dry cleaners.

I had vomited Sangria,

like, all over a sweater.

It was pretty romantic.

- Sounds magical.

- RENEE:
Yeah.

So, Renee, I was just

telling Gram here about

all our great ideas

for the diffusion line.

- Hmm.

- Cool. Yeah.

Great ideas.

Yeah, oh, they're so great.

Mmm-hmm.

Wow, you're really

nailing this, Avery.

LILY:
Avery, relax, dear.

Renee, Avery

obviously wants you here

in order to legitimize

her whole plan for the line.

Gram.

I mean, Avery

has been incredible.

I still can't believe

I even get to work with her.

Oh, my God.

Is that Hidden Valley?

Only the best, my dear.

Oh, my God, that is

my absolute favorite.

In high school, I would just

eat it by the spoonful.

And by spoonful,

I mean I would just chug it.

You know,

KFC actually uses HV.

But nobody knows, because they

put it in their KFC packaging.

Do you want me to grab you

some, next time I'm in there?

A couple of the small packets?

That's the nicest offer

I've had in a long time.

(CHUCKLES) Sure.

Well, you know, collecting

travel-sized condiments

is, like, a very big

part of my life.

The tiny little

ketchup bottles?

Or the little Tabascos?

They slay me!

- So, as I was saying, Renee...

- Oh, yeah.

...has been instrumental

in helping refine our message.

LILY:
Uh-huh.

And just what is that message?

Well...

Just that I think that most

luxury brands get it so wrong

when they try to

make a diffusion line.

They treat it

more aspirational,

when it really needs to be...

Functional.

And practical and real.

I mean, these women,

they know who they are,

and they just...

They're proud

to be bargain hunters.

Avery's life experience

may not allow her

to connect with that customer.

Please tell me you're going to

be in Boston with us.

Yes, of course. She is.

Of course I am?

Yes, of course. Remember?

RENEE:
You never

mentioned that to me.

Yeah, we definitely had this

conversation about you...

Avery, we definitely didn't.

I would remember...

- Boston...

- That would be, like,

- a very big deal to me.

- Don't you remember?

I would have called you.

I would have called,

like, everybody.

Is your eye okay?

Oh, my God, would you

please just agree to go?

Before her fake eyelashes

come flying off

her bulging eyes.

(SNORTS)

Stop that.

Would you come with us

to Boston

for the Target pitch?

Oh, hell yeah, Gram.

I will be in Boston!

Of course I'll go!

Does the Pope sh*t in Boston?

I'm going.

(LAUGHING)

This is definitely where my

work friends said they'd be.

Why are we running?

It's like a super exclusive

speakeasy, with, like,

a hot crowd.

(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)

Hi. Um, we're here

for the speakeasy.

What speakeasy?

Uh...

Three girls for the speakeasy.

- No.

- Am I saying that right?

- Speakeasy...

- It's cool. We'll find it.

- Thanks, dude.

- Speak...

He was supposed to

just show us

where the doorway was. Right?

- That's clear.

- Right.

I don't understand. And now,

look, he's leading

these girls to it.

JANE:
Ew!

Those posers don't know

what they're missing out here.

Didn't I ask you guys

to wear heels?

Yeah, well,

I can't walk in heels.

- So...

- I'm just saying that

if we want to get

into places like this...

We don't really care about

getting into places like that.

But I guess now you do?

Jenn! Hi! Oh, my God!

- Oh! Hello.

- Hello, sir.

VIVIAN:
Can I get

one of all of those?

Thank you.

Okay, good news, bad news.

Um... Good news is

that I can get in.

Bad news is you guys can't.

So, you know, obviously

I'm going to stay

with you guys.

I want to be here

and not in there,

in some dumb club

with these girls

I barely know.

Yeah...

Unless that's what you guys

think I should do 'cause...

- Yeah...

- Yeah? Are you sure?

Okay. Okay, thank you so much,

you guys. Okay.

I will tell you guys

absolutely everything

tomorrow.

Enjoy the food.

Okay, is there where it is?

- In here?

- Mmm-hmm.

And then what I realized

is that I could eat

whatever I want,

and still look like this.

(CHUCKLING)

Shout out to

my genetic makeup.

(VOCALIZING)

So blessed.

We'll be with you momentarily.

Hello, Lily LeClaire,

you've got Renee.

- Hi.

- Hi. One second.

Yeah. I love

hearing your voice, too.

I have an appointment...

East Coast Escrow

is on the second floor.

You're gonna wanna

head down there.

I'm sorry, can you just...

If you could scoot

just a little bit.

Welcome to Lily LeClaire.

I am living for your bag.

Thanks!

Oh, my God,

you're waiting for me. Hi.

Hi.

Thank you so much

for still doing this.

Oh, my God, stop it.

I wouldn't miss

our first Grouper date.

I know, but you know,

Ethan and...

Hey, I want to do this.

- Okay. Yes.
