person in the world.

How do you do it, Ash?

How do you do it?

I told you. You just

scratch the silver boxes.

Scratch? You just scratch?

I could kill you!

Hey, watch it. I can't afford to be injured.

I've got a major event to plan.

And we have a walk-through downtown

with Peggy in 10 minutes.

Taxi! We have to pick up the presentation

boards. We're never gonna make it.

Negativity.

That's your problem.

- That's true. Bye, sweets!

- Make mama proud!

- Of course. Love you.

- Au revoir!

- How you feeling?

- Nervous.

- She's gonna love it.

- Okay.

- How about right here?

- Yeah.

- This place is amazing!

- Quick. She's ready.

- Hi, Miss Braden.

- Uh!

Sorry. Peggy. So, are you

ready to be impressed?

- I'm ready to have questions.

- Of course. I would hope so.

Okay, so we're going

for a carnival-like atmosphere.

We'll have an upscale mixture

of V.I.P.'s, celebs...

and record industry insiders.

Only, everyone will wear masks.

Interesting.

We'll have a deejay,

circus performers...

fortune-tellers,

atmosphere smoke and neon.

Over here will be the V.I.P. Area.

We'll have champagne-

only the best.

Dom Prignon served

by waiters on stilts.

And then a stage with Masquerade's

latest videos and professional dancers.

And over there, little alcoves...

with couches and with drapes

to give people privacy.

Overhead, sky dancers.

You know, I want people to feel

like anything can happen here.

It's gonna be a magical night.

- The hired dancers?

- Are doing their thing.

- And Phillips?

- Is happy and is going up in five.

Peggy, I've got it covered.

See that you do, my dear.

Oh, thank God.

Thank you so much.

I owe you big time.

So, which one is she?

Oh, she's the tall blonde one,

near the fortune-teller.

- Ah, very nice.

- Yeah, she's a little high-strung.

No problem.

It is gonna cost you extra.

You're terrible. But a doll.

Now go.

I have work to do.

So do I.

- Got another freeloader.

- What? No, no, no.

If they're not on the list,

they cannot get in. No exceptions.

I'm on the list. "Plus one."

I'm on the list.

It's the jacket!

- Hey, look this way!

- Ow! My foot!

- Sorry. They threw me.

- What a loser!

Of course I'm all right.

Just get the next one.

Yeah, I got these.

Uh, mm, is this

the Masquerade bash?

- Are you Ronald?

- Uh, yeah. Yeah.

- Th-That's me. Ronald.

- You're late.

- Dancers change in Room 5.

- Okay.

So go on.

Up to Room 5.

Hope these clothes fit.

Just as I thought. The Lovers.

Oh, fantastic!

- See, I told you, baby.

- Ashley!

Antonio. Peggy.

You two look like

you're hitting it off.

Yes, we really are.

Thanks for hooking us up.

- You set us up?

- Guilty as charged.

Well, thank you.

He is adorable.

Oh, my pleasure.

You two look made for each other.

That's what Madame Z just said.

- Did she?

- The Lovers.

Come on, baby.

Let's... dance.

Whoa.

Keep up the good work, Z.

You, come. Don't you want Madame Z

to tell you what's in the cards for you?

- No, it's okay. Save it for the guests.

- Ah, a skeptic.

No, it's just, how many times can you hear,

"You'll meet a handsome stranger"?

Hello? It's called a Tuesday.

What? You think that

good fortune is normal?

Just as I suspected.

What? What'd it say?

Am I gonna win a cruise?

'Cause lately I've been having

that cruise-winning feeling.

Not exactly. It says that good luck

has always spun your way.

Uh-oh. Be careful.

This card, the Wheel of Fortune,

it is upside down.

That means the wheel

may be spinning back.

Right. Yeah. I don't really have time

for the whole spinning wheel thing.

I have 500 guests and a broken

bubble cannon to attend to.

- So go.

- Well, keep up the good work.

People are loving it, Z.

Holy crap.

Yeah! Yeah!

Aren't they fantastic?

Now hear this!

- Now hear this!

- Now hear this!

Are you guys having a good time?

- Do you like the music?

- I love the music!

I said do you like the music?

Ain't nothin' like a Damon party!

And I want to thank you for comin' out

and supporting the Second Street Shelter.

As of right now...

we've raised $270,000!

Give yourselves

a round of applause.

That's a lot of money!

It's not enough.

I promise you,

if you dig deep...

and show me some money,

I'll show you a good time.

Music!

Hit it! Come on! Oh!

Wha- Wha- Ooh, ooh!

Ooh, ooh!

Damn I'm good!

No, no, no, no, no.

- Where's the bubbly? Let's party, yo.

- Mr. Phillips? Excuse me!

Hey. I'm gonna see you at church.

What's up, man?

Hey, hey. The dancers are

supposed to be on the dance floor.

- And the dance floor is that way.

- Uh, right. Sure.

I just-

I was just about to ask

this lovely lady to dance.

- Oh!

- Oh, sucking up to the boss, huh?

The bo- Sorry.

You should go dance.

Go dance with him.

- Come on. You're earned it.

This party's amazing.

- He's kinda cute.

You know what? I will.

I deserve to have a little fun tonight.

Ooh. Bye!

Can I go dance? I wanna go dance.

Can I go dance?

- Please.

- Fine. Go, go, go. Play. Play.

- Hey, watch it, jerk!

- Sorry.

- I'm sorry.

- No. No. Don't- Don't be sorry.

I- I, uh-

What? I can't hear you.

It's too loud in here. Let me step outside.

- I have to go.

- What? Wait.

Look, I have to take care of one thing,

but I promise I'll be right back.

- But-

- Just stay where you are. All right?

Okay.

Ashley, who was that?

Um, I honestly don't know.

You were just kissing that guy

you honestly don't know?

Yeah. Yeah. Oh!

- What?

- My shoe.

Oh, my God.

- What?

- My dress.

- My dress!

- At least you're wearing underwear.

That- That's what I'm trying to tell you.

This is the biggest party.

- Mr. Phillips? Excuse me.

- No, no, no, no.

The big-This is the biggest party.

Yes, we're throwin'-

Right. Hey!

- The kid! The kid!

- The guy cut me off! Somebody call 911!

- Unbelievable!

- Are you all right?

- Uh, uh. No. No, I'm okay.

- No, no, no.

- I'm okay. I'm okay.

- Somebody get an ambulance.

- Uh, no, really. I'm fine.

- Let me help you, man.

- I'm not hurt. Mr. Phillips.

- You're the luckiest son of a gun I've ever seen!

Mr. Phillips, you okay?

You all right?

I'm better than okay, man.

I'm alive!

- You saved my life, Spider-Man.

- It was nothing, really.

There's gotta be a way

I can repay you.

I'm just glad you're okay.

There's gotta be something

I can do for you.

Um, okay. You know what?

I don't want to put you out or anything...

but this band is exactly

what you're looking for.

- They're the hottest band in New York City.

- It's done.
