Joy Page #8
Well, it wasn't the man,
Joy, it was the product.
I made 50,000 units
because you told me to.
I mortgage my house,
I'm in 200,000 dollars of debt, more.
Well, it's your business,
your debt.
And we indemnify up to a third,
if you read your contract.
To be honest,
that's even gonna be hard to get.
Neil, you gotta give us
another chance.
I'm SO sorry, Joy, I just can't
bring it to my boss, I can't.
I can't accept your answer.
I can't, and I won't.
Joy, you have to let
Trudy report this loss
to bankruptcy, because otherwise
she's gonna hemorrhage even more money.
You have to file, too,
because of your mortgage,
your children's future, and your loss
and you have to prepare yourself for that.
We have to file for bankruptcy?
I warned you many times, Joy.
Dad, I warned you not to
spend the money!
You can go out and gas
her from the very beginning, Peggy
I'm in a meeting
with our lawyers.
What do you think
you're doing?
"Go home, Joy."
"And watch the numbers
roll in on television."
"Make up to 50,000 mops."
Borrowing and owing every dollar,
including your home.
It could have been handled better,
I'll let Todd have another shot...
I don't want Todd or anyone
else to try it, it should be me.
We don't have regular people, we have
celebrities as spokesmen who do the selling.
I told you this.
Who showed YOU the mop?
Who you sold it to you?
And who convinced YOU that was great
after you thought it was worthless?
Excuse me,
can you give us a second?
Come with me.
Ever been in front of a TV camera? Are
you comfortable in front of a TV camera?
Because when you get there, there's lights,
and there's cameras, and people freeze up.
You said to me that David
Selznick, the son of immigrants,
married Jennifer Jones,
an All American girl from Oklahoma,
because, in America,
all races, and all classes,
can meet and make whatever
opportunities they can,
and THAT is what you feel, when you reach
into people's homes, with what you sell.
You said that.
What do you think?
Looks great, right?
Yeah, yeah, it's beautiful,
very girl, very classic.
All right, if you come back next time...
Lori, Lori...
Yeah?
I just want you to take
it a little bit forward,
Just like that...
if she comes back again.
Not with the comb,
not with the comb.
- Try the black.
- Okay.
- Okay?
- Okay.
It's gonna be perfect.
Wow.
Beautiful. What do you think?
How do you feel?
I'd like to change just one thing.
Do you mind?
- Okay, surprise me.
- One small thing.
- I'll surprise you.
- Okay, surprise me.
I want the small
thing is that she changes.
What!
You un-did the whole thing.
- This is me.
- This is you?
You've got the exact same outfit
you had when you came in here.
I wear a blouse and I wear
pants, that's who I am.
I wanna go on as me.
You wanna go on as you,
then I hope you make it back.
Joan, Cindy,
say good luck to Joy.
Well, you look great,
good luck today.
- Oh, thank you.
- Good luck!
That's her, that's how she is.
Blouse and... she should be in a skirt,
she's got nice, long legs, show her legs.
Good luck.
Joan Rivers wants me in a skirt,
but I'm gonna use the pants.
Do what you wanna do.
C'mon let's go upstairs.
- Are you nervous?
- Yes.
Just be yourself, and remember,
it's all about the hands.
Here we go.
Ready!
The stage is moving!
Household product three
hundred seventy-five.
In 3... 2...
What are you doing?
Come on! Go!
Go!
She's freezing.
Hi! These lights are so bright...
Nobody tells you how bright these...
well, Neil did tell me.
Neil is my boss here.
I should thank him for
letting me be up here.
- Uh... sorry.
- You're Joy!
I am Joy?
Just say something,
talk about the mop!
Oh, my God!
We have to do something.
We have to do something.
Do we have a call?
Can we go to a call?
We have a call.
- Is it a friendly call?
- It's a friendly call?
Okay, take it, take it.
Joy, we have a call.
A call? How did that happen?
Well, we have a call!
Hi, Jo Ann from New York.
Jo Ann from New York!
We have a call coming in
from Jo Ann from New York.
Yeah, I'm calling in because I would love a
mop that I don't have to touch when I wring it.
Ya know, my hands get raw when I...
mop broken glass, and I wring
the mop, I cut my hands.
Do you ever cut your hands
when you're wringing?
Jo Ann, that is so funny that you said
that, that is actually exactly how I
was inspired to invent this mop.
I had... there was glass shattered everywhere,
I was with my 2 kids, with my father,
and I... every time I would wring the mop,
I would get glass shards in my hand.
and the old mop just wasn't
very absorbent, so...
I... I went to my daughter's room,
I borrowed her crayons
and I designed this mop.
- Make sure you get down there, yeah, that's it.
- It's made of plastic, so it is lightweight,
- but very durable.
- Go in, go into the hands.
It's extremely absorbent,
with 300 continuous
cotton loops, that I looped
myself, when I designed it.
How much is it?
It is nineteen ninety-five.
I like that price, I want
a whole bunch of them.
Thank you.
H-375, that's the order number.
Household item 3-75.
I guarantee you...
- That's it, stay right there.
- You are not going to
- Now! Do it again, hands down,
- find another mop like this that exists
- Right there, that's good, get the hands.
- If there was, I woulda bought it
and I woulda, ya know,
cut my hands on it.
You can go across
the whole kitchen,
with one wring,
just imagine that.
Watch this.
Chocolate syrup.
Go to the syrup,
go to the syrup.
Baby food, a very big spill...
at my house.
- A very common spill for me.
- Hands, hands.
Now, the biggest difference,
I don't have to touch
this disgusting mop head.
There's not another mop on the market
that has as much absorbent
cotton as this mop right here.
And I guarantee you,
there will be no regrets,
no returns... I have been mopping for
most of my life, every single day...
The phones are ringing!
I cannot tell you how much
this mop has changed my life.
- The phones are ringing!
- The phones are ringing.
- The phones are ringing.
- The phones are ringing.
It's gonna be the greatest mop to have
around Christmas time when you have family over,
I can't... I...
I am a mother of two.
There is just spill after spill,
family comes to town,
you can mop your entire
kitchen with one wring.
Oh! My God! 29,000!
This is very special!
I haven't even told you about
my personal, favorite feature,
which is the
removable mop head.
that I can put into
the washing machine,
and it will come
out clean as new.
Yes! Yes!
Oh, my God,
these numbers keep climbing.
Thank you, I...
I... I...
Yes! That's how you keep it going.
- Thank you.
The is the most
absorbent mop on the market,
It's lightweight, it's the
only mop you're ever gonna buy,
the best mop you're
ever gonna use,
it is lightweight, and durable and that
