Material Girls Page #4

Oh, and girls, please behave.|Don't burn down the house.

Lock the door. See you later.

Do you remember this? This was yours.|Do you want it back?

No.

Not bad.

Cute.

(CHILDREN CHATTERING)

AVA:
Kids.

I feel so last year.

Calm down. Retro's really in right now.

Hi. It's the red Mercedes.

- What do I look like, a valet?|- Yes.

Honey, there's no valet here.

(SIGHS)

Oh, God. I'm God's personal joke.

I think he said we need to get on the 2

and then switch to the 37.

And then on the 6. On the 6!

Just like J. Lo.

And then...

And then we gotta get on the 2,|but a different 2 than the first 2.

This is ridiculous.|Somebody has gotta come pick us up.

You're right. You know, friends don't|let friends take public transportation.

Especially the bus. Ava.

I've heard about the bus.|People pee on the seats.

- Tanzie. They don't pee on the bus.|- They pee.

(BEEPING)

Wait for the beep.

Mic! Baby, it's Avie. Where are you?

What's going on? I mean,|I've called you, like, a million times.

We're announcing our engagement|in, like, two hours.

Call me, call me, call me. Okay?

But don't worry about Tanz and I.|We're on our way.

Our ride just got here. Bye. Love you.

- Lady.|- What?

I'm not tipping you|till I know how your service is.

It's $1.35 each.

- Fine.|- I've got change.

- We're going to 273 Benedict Canyon.|- Good for you.

Excuse me.

(GRUNTS)

Why do they have to start like that?

(SNIFFING)

- It smells in here.|- I know.

Hey! I could feel that.

Oh, my God.

Excuse me. I am not God's personal joke.

I'm his entire comedy routine.

That's why in Japan,|women have their own buses.

Wait, wait! This isn't Benedict Canyon!

- Where are you going?|- No tip for you!

TANZIE:
Why aren't there any sidewalks?

Ava, I can't do this anymore.|I've got blisters.

- And I didn't even really wanna come.|- Tanzie?

This is|my engagement announcement party.

Everybody already knows you're engaged.

I mean, they knew when you started|wearing that promise ring

and saying you guys were just friends.

Come on.

Ow.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

MAN:
Yeah, all right.|I'll take care of that. Yeah.

- Hi.|- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

- It's Ava and Tanzie Marchetta.|- I'm sorry, you're not on the list.

I am Mic's fiance, okay?|I wrote the freaking list.

It's Marchetta. With an M.|You know, like Manila.

Yeah, I know who you are.

My mama used to like|to wear your lipstick.

Yeah, but I bet if she had the same skin|shade as you, she'd like the raspberry.

Mama died last year.|Maybe now I know why.

Do you know how mad Mic is gonna be|when he finds out how you treated us?

- You're done. He is gonna be so pissed.|- Look! Look, it's Etienne.

- Etienne! Etienne, hey! Etienne!|- He can't hear you.

(ROCKMUSIC PLA YING ON STEREO)

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

- Go!|- Etienne, it's us.

We're outside,|and this guy isn't letting us in.

Actually, I decided not to go to the party|because my throat is a little tender.

Turn around.|I am looking at you on the patio.

That's not me.

(YELLS)

- We're being totally dissed.|- By Etienne?

- Yeah.|- He worships us.

- Well.|- He was gonna go straight for us.

You know what?|He's not straight for us anymore.

And you know what?|Etienne's not even Brazilian!

- Ava!|- Sol! Thank God.

I know, baby, I know.

We've been on this bus,|and we've been hiking around.

And then this guy won't even let us in!

Just take me to go and see Mic.

Yeah, actually,|that won't be happening now.

As his agent,|I have to look after Mic's best interests.

And the thing is, "Long Island" is|about to squeak into the top ten.

Let's face it. You're a liability now.|So, as far as the engagement goes,

I think we're gonna have to pass.

Pass? What are you saying?|Are you dumping me?

Well, technically,|Mic's dumping you. Look.

I have to think long-term,|and a career choice like...

Okay. Right.

From a business standpoint, you know,|I get where you're coming from, okay?

But look, on the other hand,|this was my engagement day,

and I risked my life to save this dress.

So, you know|what you can tell your client? Karma!

- I'll let him know. And one other thing.|- What?

We're gonna need the ring back.

You know what else?|"Long Island" is a really bad show!

- I hate it.|- TOMMY: This is a disaster.

Our sales have plummeted|precipitationally.

And the retailers have already returned|almost 90% of our shipments.

(FOOTSTEPS PATTERING)

- Hi.|- Hi.

Hi. Sorry.

Jaden, for heaven's sake,|get them a moist towel or something.

- What's going on?|- Carry on.

Carry on. Yes, well.

Fabiella did make us an offer.

It was lower than we hoped for,|but in light of present circumstances...

How much is it for?

How much is it for?

Sixty cents on the dollar|for all our private stock.

Sixty cents?

It's actually quite generous.|I mean, it could go down again next week.

What?

If we sell to Fabiella,|what happens to the Marchetta name?

If we're lucky, we disappear quietly.

Quietly disappear?|What about your investigation?

Well, I looked into the Everdew file...

Thank you, Pam.

And I don't know how to tell you this,

but there were some problems|in the testing stage.

And your father, for whatever reason,|decided not to deal with it.

What he's saying|is that the complaints are legit.

I'm sorry, girls.

But, Tommy, you're not just gonna, like,|accept this, right?

I mean, you're gonna track down|those people from the story.

Yes, yes. I'm gonna try.|I threatened to sue.

- But Nakamori won't give up his sources.|- People, can we pick up the pace here?

Yes. All right, let me be frank here.

This company was already a sinking ship.

With this new publicity scandal,|we're the "Titanic."

It's disfortunate but true.

And this is an excellent opportunity|for the shareholders to save their hides.

It's a great opportunity.

I gotta pee.

Yeah. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing.

Oh, my God. I am a federal emergency.

- No wonder Mic dumped me.|- What are we doing in here, Ava?

I don't know.|I just needed a second to think.

Well, come on! Let's just go in there|and vote to sell this stupid company

- that Dad totally screwed up.|- Hey, look, Daddy wasn't perfect, okay,

but getting things right|was so important to him.

- What do you mean?|- I don't know. I haven't figured it out yet,

but I know I want|to get my hands on those test files.

We vote no. We don't believe our father|is guilty of any wrongdoing.

The board doesn't need your votes to|pass this. Now, let's get this thing done.

I've got a plane to Maui in an hour.

All those in favor of bringing this offer|to the stockholders for approval

with our recommendation to sell?

- I'm going to exstain.|- Yes.

I will see you all in 30 days|at the stockholders' meeting.

You...

(REPORTERS CLAMORING)

MAN 1:
Can I get a statement?|When can I get a statement?

Hey, hold back!|Come on, come on, come on! Step back!

Please, people. Step back.

Sir, if you could step back|just a couple of feet. Just stay back. Guys!
