Picture Perfect Page #3

married to the guy yet.

You will be... in March.

You wanted a spring wedding.

And also, I figure

it gives you 9 months

until you have

to break it off.

And who knows? I could throw you

a little shower.

You could score

some pretty nice gifts.

God, I can't believe you did this to me.

To me, your friend.

Well, excuse me

for changing your life.

I didn't do it to you,

I did it for you.

And only because I knew you'd never

work up the courage

to do it for yourself.

Courage? To what?

To lie?

What about my work?

What about my talent?

What about my...

What about

your integrity?

Your Girl Scout

code of ethics?

What?

Kate, you are a director of creative

affairs at Mercer Advertising.

I told a little fib

to get you the gig.

So what?

That doesn't change

the fact that you deserve it.

Oh, by the way,

there's a reception for

the Gulden's people tomorrow night,

and Mercer asked me

to ask you to be there.

He also asked me

if you owned any nice dresses

he hadn't already

seen at work.

What does that mean?

It means

buy a new dress, Kate.

What?

Hey, hey, hey!

Congratulations!

Congratulations,

congratulations!

Oh, thank you.

Yeah, thank you.

Hey, Jesus Christ, Kate.

You know, you're breaking my heart.

I never even

got my shot.

Oh, come on.

You're married.

I would have left her for you.

You know that.

So what

does he do?

Um... videos.

What do you mean?

Like, music videos?

Yeah, sure.

Sometimes there's music in them.

Really?

Wow.

So happy for you.

I'm happier.

Thank you. That's

very nice, you guys.

Okay, I'll see you later.

I'm a little late.

Videos. Crap.

I give them two years.

18 months, tops.

Now, it's a fruitful acre...

Got to cross

the mighty river

And you got

to get along

And I'm singing

Oh, I got to keep

from goin' down

Oh, though I don't know

where I'm bound

It's too late

to turn back around

Hey!

Ah! Wow!

Have my baby?

Okay. Something happened,

though, between the store and here.

I really-

I had more dress.

Believe me, the part that's left

looks amazing.

Really? Oh, good.

Well... cheers.

Oh, thank you.

Have fun.

You look beautiful.

Thank you. So do you.

Mingle. Mingle.

I will. Whoop. Big mustard

right behind you.

Bye.

Oh...

Jim Davenport,

Katherine Mosley.

Miss Mosley.

Hello.

Saw you walking across the room

in that fabulous dress.

I asked Alan and

Sela who you were.

They tell me you're the author

of this wonderful catch phrase

we'll be using

in our new campaign.

Oh, well.

Now, we work as a team,

and Sela is actually

our team leader.

I'm just,

you know...

Tell her yours.

Jim's come up with an idea

for another campaign,

something we can

use down the road.

Great.

Well, just imagine

a big bowl of mustard...

Gulden's mustard...

and a model...

a beautiful model.

And she's behind

the bowl of mustard...

and I don't know if she

has to be nude or not.

I mean, maybe she wouldn't

actually have to be nude,

but because of the way

the bowl is in the picture

and given the parts of the model

you would actually see,

she would appear

to be nude.

We'll leave

the technical stuff to you.

Anyway, you've got this model

and a bowl of mustard,

and in big letters across the top

of the picture

are just the words,

"Spread this."

"Spread this."

I mean...

What do you think?

Um...

I like it...

because it has

so many meanings.

Yeah. I mean,

can't you just see it?

In dorm rooms, posters,

on bumper stickers...

Yeah, I sure-

I sure can.

Ha ha!

Oh, I mean,

you know...

I hear something

like that,

and I actually... I actually

have a physical reaction.

I mean, you know,

how often can you say that

nowadays, you know?

Not very damn often!

Nope!

Excuse me, please.

Pleasure to meet you.

Well...

She is terrific!

So, what's different?

It's... It's the dress,

I'm telling you.

No, it's not just the dress.

It's something else.

It's...

I don't know.

Success?

Or... it's like some part of you

that I've never seen before.

Aren't we going

to get in trouble...

I mean, leaving

the party like we did?

Oh, nobody's ever going to notice.

Are you kidding?

The big guys are

all hammered anyway.

The working stiffs

will be leaving soon

to catch the 9:
31

to Syosset.

Ha ha!

I like you.

Um...

Okay.

Oh, oh. This isn't me.

I don't normally do this.

I don't know...

I don't know if it's the wine,

maybe, or if it's the beer,

or it's...

Me?

Maybe.

So, uh... so tell me

about this guy.

Huh?

The guy.

You know, the guy

in the picture.

I know all about him.

You are a bad girl.

Hi, Mom? It's me.

It's Kate.

No. I just wanted

to call you for a change.

Look...

- Whispering?

- I'm not whispering.

Nice work. Good.

In here.

Si.

Nice view.

Hi there.

Bad time?

No.

Um... guys, could I just

have one minute, please?

Thank you.

So I woke up this morning,

and you were gone,

and it occurred to me

that I may have done

a really shitty

thing here.

What do you mean?

Well, I knew that you were involved

with this other person. Uh...

Nick. Yeah.

I'm supposed to be

your friend here.

I feel-I feel

responsible.

Listen, Sam... I mean,

don't beat yourself up

about this whole thing,

you know?

I mean, I'm a big girl.

I know.

You know?

So what are we

going to do?

- About?

- Nick.

Oh.

Yeah. Um... I don't know.

I don't know.

What do you think

we should do?

Well, a lot of people

would tell you

to be honest,

confess everything.

I've had a lot of

experience with this.

I think

that's just cruel.

I mean, what good

is going to come of it?

You're only going to

hurt someone's feelings.

You can't take

the moment back.

It's not like you can

turn back the clock.

And it's... It's not like it's ever

going to happen again.

Really?

I mean, yeah. No.

Yes, I know. No.

Right.

So maybe the less

Nick knows, the better.

Yeah, yeah. I would-I think

I would be of that mind. Mm-hmm.

Good.

- Yeah. Great.

- Great.

- Good.

- Great.

Great.

Have you ever been

to a tennis tournament?

'Cause I got these two

tickets this weekend.

I mean, purely as a friend thing,

if you wanted to...

Well, that's...

That's very sweet, Sam,

and I would love to,

as a friend thing,

but, uh, you see,

the thing is...

Nick's coming

into town this weekend.

Right, right, right.

Right, okay.

Right.

Hey.

Yeah.

Nick's a lucky guy.

You think so?

I do.

Oh...

God.

Oh! Ma!

Jesus F-ing Christ!

I did not go through

3 hours of labor-

not to mention 81/2 years

with your father-

Why do you

do this to me?

So that I could spend

my days worrying...

Can't I just

put my stuff down?

Whether my daughter was lying in

some ditch somewhere or something worse!

Ditch?! Mom,

listen to yourself!

There are no goddamn

ditches in New York!

Don't you raise

your voice to me, young lady!

You want all

the neighbors to hear?

My neighbors, Mother. This is

my apartment. What are you doing here?

Let me ask you
