between me and the goddess.

She's playing games

to trick him into wanting her--

-And you're what?

-I'm working hard for the money.

Speaking of which, you hand

in your application? Management?

Yeah.

What are you doing?

-Dolce, nice.

-No, no, come on, get out of there.

I'm just taking a little peek.

They're going back anyway.

You're gonna get us in trouble.

Hello, ladies.

Leave that stuff alone. Come on.

You're supposed to be

helping me out in here.

Feel this material.

I mean, it's like butter.

Oh, my God.

This stuff is $5000.

For one white outfit?

How do you keep it clean?

Scotchgard.

Oh, yeah.

They're a 6, you're a 6.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?!

And shoes too.

Shoes. Size 9. Perfect.

-I'm a 7 1 l2.

-Which means you're an 8.

Just put on some gym socks,

you're good to go.

That's it. Put this stuff back.

What are you doing?

Not until you try it on.

I can't try on her clothes!

They're not hers. They're not Dolce's.

Technically, they've been abandoned.

Let's not let them hear us.

Who, the clothes?

Marisa Ave Maria Ventura...

...when will you or l ever get

to try on a $5000 anything?

Come on, feel how

the other half feels, huh?

Hey, Lily, what are you doing?

Hey. I'm sewing on a button.

What's the cook making for lunch?

Saturday, you'll have

mac and cheese.

Where you going?

Around. I'll be right back.

-Stay close, okay?

-Okay.

Rufus.

Rufus, come here.

Come here. Sit.

-Where are you going?

-For a walk.

No, there's a League of Women Voters

lunch downstairs.

-We should do a drive-by.

-A quick pit stop?

Yeah, in and out.

Leave them laughing.

-Hey, Jer, quick question. Be honest.

-Sure thing.

Do l look as stupid

as you think l am?

No. I mean, you're not stupid.

What are you talking about?

-Come on.

-Where are you going? No.

You have a problem

with the ladies' lunch?

I have a problem trying to upstage

Victor Delgado. Remember him?

The guy running against me for Senate,

scheduled to speak downstairs?

He's not speaking until 1 :30.

I know this offends your sense

of fairness, but l'd like to win.

-You don't give up.

-No, of course not.

That's why you hired me.

Look, you go to the luncheon, okay?

You go to Maddox's thing on Monday.

" Hello," "goodbye," you're home free.

Define "free."

Look, they have people who will

walk your dog for you.

-I mean, l know that's a crazy idea.

-I want to walk my own dog.

Relax. You're starting

to lose your hair.

He's friendly.

-His name is Rufus.

-Hey, Rufus.

So, what are you listening to?

-The Best of Bread.

-Best of Bread? lnteresting.

What's your name?

-Ty.

-Nice to meet you, Ty. I'm Chris.

I'm bald and no one in particular.

I know who you are.

Yeah? What do you know?

I know that you're

the state assemblyman.

I know you're thinking

of running for senator.

I know your voting record and

your stand on environmental causes.

Great.

-Look, l hate to interrupt, but--

-Are you Republican?

Yes.

Why?

Richard Nixon was Republican.

So what?

-He lied.

-So, what does that mean?

Nothing.

Who told you to ask

these questions?

Nobody.

What press are you affiliated with?

I'm 1 0.

Your parents?

Democrat or Republican?

-What's the difference these days?

-I love this kid.

Well, what's not to love?

-Where you going?

-I'm gonna walk Rufus.

What, are you writing a book?

ln 1 0 minutes, okay?

-One pee.

-If Mom says okay, can l come?

-What?

-If my mom says okay, can l come?

-Sure. Where's your mom?

-Back on 22. Park Suite.

No, you know what, Chris?

You're in a hurry.

-He doesn't have time.

-No, he's in a hurry. I'm fine.

-You take him.

-What?

I'll go up with you.

I forgot his ball anyway.

I don't want to-- Wait!

Hold on!

Hi, honey. It's Ty!

What are you doing up here?

Where's Mom?

It's for you, ma'am.

What are you talking about?

Ty, don't you--?

Hey, Ma, this is Chris. He's got

a giant gray dog named Rufus.

And if you say okay,

l'm gonna go walk with him, okay?

-Hello.

-Hi.

Let's not forget. I'm a kid and l need

fresh air. Please, can l go, Mom?

I'm Chris Marshall.

Caroline...

...you want your coat?

-What?

-The weather can be so tricky here.

Weren't you saying

what a beautiful day it was?

Oh, you're going out?

Weren't you saying how you

wanted to stretch your legs?

Well, if your husband

wouldn't mind....

She doesn't have a husband.

-I don't have a husband.

-I insist, then.

-Come with us, if you're free.

-Yeah.

-Come on, Mom.

-Here we go.

I can't.

-Put these on.

-The shoes are too big.

Have a good time. Have fun.

-Come on, Ty, let's go find Rufus.

-Come on, Mom.

Mr. Marshall, John Bextrum,

hotel manager.

This is fun.

-So be cool, okay?

-Okay.

What's this?

If that slips out again,

tuck it in for me.

And the night before.

You're not answering your pager.

-Really? l never got the message.

-Really?

You said you'd take us to Niketown.

Well, here, l'll go down with you.

Beautiful ensemble.

How does she keep it clean?

Scotchgard?

You think that's the new girlfriend?

For tonight.

Ladies, would you like to join us?

Pig!

Au revoir.

Bye-Bye.

Bye.

Come on, Rufus, just pee

because l have stuff to do.

-Pee! Lift your leg.

-Jerry Siegel, is that you?

Hey, Maddox, how are you?

Small world.

You know Victor Delgado.

Victor, Jerry Siegel,

Chris Marshall's right-hand.

-You groom also?

-That's good.

I was showing Victor our new

building on 57th. Wanna join us?

No, l can't. I'm jammed.

I've got--

-I can see that.

-Well, l mean--

Don't forget to scoop.

Kill! Kill! Rufus! Kill!

Let's go. You're gonna

have to hold it. Come on!

Okay, l'll handle it.

Walk to the park.

I'll get Rufus and Jerry,

and we'll catch up. Go ahead.

Guys, there's nothing here.

Just an old friend and her son.

-She got a name?

-Yeah, " Unidentified Old Friend."

You give me this,

l'll give you 1 5 minutes...

...inside the benefit,

Monday night.

You'll get us in at the Met?

-You got it.

-Open bar?

-Don't push it.

-Thank you.

Come on, Rufus.

Did you have fun

with mean, old Jerry?

A great time!

lt was perfect timing.

Both Delgado and Maddox

saw me walking your goddamn dog.

See, you should get out more.

Come on, Rufus.

He's gonna be there.

He's gonna be there at 1 :30.

I want you there at 1 :00, okay?

All right? Okay?

Bye. I'm going to shower.

I just borrowed them.

Pretty hot, though, huh?

I just borrowed them.

Pretty hot, though, huh?

-Wait up!

-Don't say anything. Just act--

I couldn't do it.

All those photographers all the time.

You don't know what you can do

until you have to.

There's not a lot of choice.

You get used to it.

-Can l take him?

-Sure. Go ahead.

-Be careful. He's strong.

-Come on.

-Be careful and stay close.

-I will.

Hang on!

Thanks for this.

He's been a little down lately.

Then yesterday, he gave a speech

at school, and he messed it up.

It was bad.

Speeches can be tricky.

What happened?

I don't know.
