Material Girls Page #6

Synopsis: The silver spoon daughters of the late cosmetics empire founder Victor Marchetta, Avan and Tanzie, never even took an interest in the business, happy to let it be run by their and the firm's administrator, Tommy Katzenbach, while they lead socialite lives, aiming at a marriage with soap star Mic Rionn. Suddenly a scandal wrecks the firm's stock and their family reputation. Their credit cards are canceled, one of them torches the mansion, the other hands their sports-car to a thief mistaken for a parking valet. So they end up living with their Latina former cleaning lady. Help to investigate whether the firm is really best sold to competitor Fabiella, as Tommy claims, comes from hunky lab technician Rick, whom the previously mistook for the inexistent firm parking lot attendant, and Henry Baines, whose free law for the poor charity they didn't even consider for sponsoring.

Okay, come on, let's go.

Shoot!

- Ava, come on, this is nuts. Let's go.|- Hold on. Wait, wait.

Do you know how to pick a lock?

What you think I look like,|Ma, a gang banger?

(RICK CLEARS THROAT)

- Nice outfits.|- Rick?

- We're interning.|- Obviously, I mean, with those bags.

Your hair looks really nice today.

Maybe you could help us with something.

- In Tommy's office.|- All right. Let's just make it fast.

- Do you have a bobby pin?|- I do.

Thanks.

- How'd you learn that?|- I was a gang banger.

Just kidding.

But I did have my juvie moments.

All right.

I can't believe|I let you guys talk me into this.

You know, I could get arrested.|I could get fired.

This whole thing was her idea.

Look, I promise|you're not gonna get fired, okay.

In fact, whenever we're in charge again,|we're gonna promote you.

We're gonna make you|head of the whole parking lot.

Parking lot? Why do you think|I work in the parking lot?

Because you park our car.

- We don't have a parking attendant.|- Really?

I parked your car because I'm nice.

I'm a lab technician.

That is so cool.

Look, I'm glad you two lovebirds|are having so much fun over there.

Meanwhile, I just found all the files.

Look, Everdew Night Cream formulas,|lab analysis, test results.

And names and numbers|of all the people we tested.

Oh, my God. We gotta get out of here!|Come on.

What? Why?

Yo, wait! Hold on, stop!

Wait!

(DOGS BARKING)

(BOTH SCREAMING)

Why do we have dogs?

We got them last year|after all the break-ins.

We had break-ins?

You guys didn't pay any attention|to the business, did you?

- No, apparently not.|- No, kind of.

- I really like chemistry.|- Get out of here. So do I.

That's why I work down in the lab.

I love it. I've actually been filling out|all my applications...

- No way! Where?|- Okay! Hey!

While I can really appreciate|this whole exchange of sexual banter here,

there's dogs outside|that want to rip our faces off!

Yeah, let's go.

(BARKING)

TANZIE:
So, are we outside the fence now?|RICK: Yes. We're safe here.

Oh, good.

- Here, take this.|- What?

- RICK:
Okay, here, give me your bags.|- Don't drop that.

Hold up.

- Come on.|- These shoes rock!

I don't even feel like I'm gonna plummet|to my death at any moment.

Speak for yourself.

- RICK:
Okay, I'll go first.|- What? Go where first?

- Down there.|- No! Not into the trash.

- Rick, no!|- Tanzie, no. Wait.

Tanzie, I am serious!

- Do not! Do not!|- You can do it!

Just pretend you're diving in the ocean|in St. Bart's.

- No, I can't.|- This is so not St. Bart's.

- Come on, Tanzie.|- No!

You caught me. I guess that, like,|makes you my hero or something.

You bet.

(AVA SCREAMS)

- Get me out!|- Ava!

Get me out! Grab my hand!

Are you okay?

Whoa. Beam me up, huh?

I smell jasmine.

We have it piped in.

- I love Century City.|- The Marchettas are here.

- Please make yourselves comfortable.|- Thank you.

These are so ugly.

Velvet. Sweet.

Remember,|we have to speak her language.

Okay.

FABIELLA:
May I offer you some coffee?

Latte, espresso, cappuccino, mocha.

Caramel macchiato, chai tea?

I'd kill my first born|for a caramel macchiato.

Honey, if you knew my first born,|you'd kill him for a lot less than that.

- You?|- I'll take a chai tea.

- Janet, make it happen.|- Yes.

Now tell me. Tell me the truth.|Are you well?

Are you truly, truly well?

Because if you're not,

I have two of the most|"wunderbar" psychiatrists on my payroll,

and I'd be so pleased to lend you one.

Thanks.

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

I'll have one of those expressos, Janet,|with the chocolate shavings.

It must be easy coming to the office|every day when you have a spa like this.

Yeah, this way no one can pack heat, huh?

(LAUGHING)

Just breathe. Relax.

Now, I know things have really|sucked bigtime for you lately, girls,

but all that's about to change.|I want your company.

I want you to make the deal.

You want to be a chemist? Be my chemist.

Go to any college you want.

You want to travel?

The ancient ruins of Pompeii.

The bronzed island boys|of Mustique await you.

Do it on my dime.

I want you girls|to be the face of my new line.

A line we create together.

But our reputations|have been completely ruined.

Oh, I'll clear his name.

I'll make your father a hero again.

Listen up.

My father, Morris Farbrinsky,|pulled himself up by his bootstraps

to become mattress king of Atlantic City.

Everybody called him a crook.

But his memory means everything to me.

- I know what you're going through.|- Thank you.

Oh, Tran, Bob. Hurrah.

Why don't you give the girls foot rubs?

Tran? Better yet,|why don't you massage Ava's temples?

Remember, girls. I can give you|everything you ever wanted.

(MOANS)

So, maybe Fabiella wasn't so bad after all.

- Ava!|- What?

I cannot believe you.

I mean, one temple rub and you...

Wait.

How psychic was she|about how much you liked those?

So she did her homework.

But that doesn't just mean|we're gonna give up and sell, right?

JK.

Well, you're gonna help me|go through these lists, right?

Yes. But if Dad did it, we sell.

And if he didn't, we fight!

Okay.

Out of the thousand tested,|153 people had adverse reactions.

- So I divided up all the phone numbers.|- Okay.

And now we start calling people.

Let's do this!

Hi, Dinah? Ava Marchetta.

Thank you.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Actually, I was calling to talk to you|about your reactions

to the Everdew Night Cream.

You're sure your skin was fine after that?

Hi, Ava Marchetta.

I was just calling to speak with you|about our Everdew Night Cream.

Thank you very much.

Yes, thank you.

- INEZ:
What?|- That's another one.

She said her rash|was nothing like the story on TV.

- What?|- Tanzie, wake up. 92 through 103.

Thank you so much.|Okay, great. Thank you.

- Well?|- That was the last one.

That woman's doctor said|she had nothing but a rash.

This is crazy.

Not one person|had long-lasting side effects.

Where did Ned Nakamori|find all these victims for his story?

Teanne, no!

What did you do? Huh?

Oh, Razz. I love you so much.

- It's okay. It's okay.

(CHA TTERING ON TV)

TEANNE:
I deserve to die!

Don't die, baby. Don't die!

We have to get you to the hospital.

- Three-months' worth of birth control pills.

Oh, hey. What are you doing here?

Thought you were the pizza.

I brought you these.

And where's your sister?

I thought you two|were borderline Siamese.

I thought you didn't watch TV.

- It smells like beef in here.|- It's the "carnicera."

Is that why you came here?|To smell my office?

Ha ha.

So, interesting books you've got here.

What is this? Pleasure reading?

My sister works|for "The New York Review of Books."

So, she sends me the ones|with the funniest titles.

And, yes, I do read them. I like to read.

So, sister, huh?

That's something we have in common.

Yeah, it's probably about the only thing|we have in common.

Well, you're awfully quick to judge.

As much as I'm enjoying|your spontaneous attack
