history class.

You're showing up for

classes this term?

Screw off, Leo.

I can't help it

if all my go-sees

happen to be

during the day.

So... is your company

K2 Design based here?

No, London.

But our clients,

mostly commercial real

estate developers like Leo,

are from all

over the world.

I'm lining up the financing

on two properties...

So you get to travel a lot,

that must be nice.

For me, yes.

For my wife it

wasn't so much fun

which is why

she's now my ex.

What about you?

Oh no, I'm

not married.

I'll let you two

get acquainted,

we'll be right back.

What I meant was, what do

you want to do for work?

[Laughing]

I want to get a job at

an interior design firm,

and then once I have

enough experience,

open up my own shop.

Oh, no, no no.

I'm good.

Come on, it's not

a school night.

Okay.

Do I like him?!

He's ridiculously hot.

He has that sexy

English accent

and he gets what I want

to do with my life.

Of course I like-

[Gasps]

Ow!

You all right

in there?

No, I'm not.

I had like two or three

glasses of champagne.

I told you I'm

a lightweight.

I'm gonna stay over

at Leo's tonight.

Is it okay if James

gives you a ride home?

I think I'll manage.

[Car horn]

They were really

going too fast

or maybe it's all

that champagne?

[Soft piano music]

I should

get you home.

Why? It's not a

school night.

I need to be on a call

to Europe in an hour.

You're such a tease.

Not always.

You know, I always stop in

Seattle on my way to Asia.

And that's a trip I try

to make at least

once or twice a month.

Such a busy boy

from Leeds.

What I'm trying to

say, Katie, is...

I would really love

to see you again.

And I'm saying, I

would love that.

So, Tessa, what

do you think?

Looks great, if you're

going to a funeral.

Which you might be,

given how old Simon is.

Saul.

And this is the only thing

of yours that fits me, Tessa.

It looks conservative!

That's what

you want, right?

He invited me to an angel

investing panel

at the finance conference

that he's hosting.

And he catered a

dinner from Morton's.

All that and a few

dinners this month?

Are you sure he doesn't

expect you to put out?

He likes

my ambition.

The fact that I

have career goals.

I can't believe this!

This model is everywhere!

You're a million

times prettier.

Yeah but, she's like twelve.

She has no wrinkles.

Tessa, you don't

have wrinkles.

Why else would they hire her

again for a skin product?

She just did a huge

Victoria make-up campaign!

You'll land something

else, you always do.

I just need

more exposure.

Hey! Katie.

Hey.

I went by your dorm

the other day

but there was

nobody there.

Look, I'm really sorry about

this weekend, the party.

I feel like... I don't

know how to say it, an ass?

Don't worry

about it, seriously.

Ok, I mean...

truth is I can't really

talk to girls that well

without two

drinks in me.

You're doing

okay now.

You're being really

cool about all this.

Can I maybe, make it up

to you this weekend?

Umm, I have a

friend in town so...

maybe another time?

Yeah, sounds good.

Do you want me to put this

book on your account?

Yeah, that

would be great.

I know I owe

another payment.

Actually, your account

is paid for in full.

Uh, that's impossible.

I owe $400.

No, check it out.

Look! Zero balance.

Says there's an

envelope here for you.

Here.

It's my rich uncle.

Lucky you!

Yeah.

Oh hey, don't

forget your...

Right.

Why did you tell James I owed

money to the bookstore?

I didn't.

Then how did

he find out?

Look, James wanted

to give you a gift.

But something practical,

something you would

really like.

So I told him a lot of students

have accounts at the bookstore.

He doesn't need to

be giving me gifts.

We just met.

It's weird.

Well, he wanted to.

Like I said,

I thought it would do more for

you than a designer handbag.

And it's not

weird, Katie.

It's two people

who like you,

Tessa and this guy

who wanted to do

something nice

for you.

Look Katie, I didn't

mean to offend you.

I was sure he said

something to you about it.

About what?

There's nothing wrong

with getting a little

financial help

when you need it.

And we all need it.

Why would you

need it, Tessa?

Your father is

Charles Bouillette.

He watches me

like a hawk,

every penny I spend,

my bank accounts,

my credit cards.

And I'm trying to launch

a modelling career, okay?

I need new headshots all the

time, clothes, makeup.

Guys like Leo and

James, they get it.

They have the resources and

they don't mind helping out.

They want to help.

It's what

rich guys do.

Ken spoils me.

Especially when

I ignore him.

So they help by

giving gifts?

An allowance is part

of the arrangement.

Isn't that hooking?

What?

Hooking is about sex.

Having an arrangement

with a sugar daddy

is about companionship

with a guy

you'd want to spend

time with anyways.

Sophisticated men who

take you places

and show you things.

And expect sex in return.

Oh, so you wouldn't wanna

have sex with James?

Yeah, that's what

I thought.

Look Katie, James is

important to Leo.

I wouldn't have introduced

him to just anyone.

But you're perfect.

Brains and beauty,

the whole package.

True, she wouldn't.

This is all

really confusing.

Actually, its pretty

straight forward.

You're smart,

you're ambitious.

You're gonna graduate

from college

with a ridiculous

amount of debt.

And what, try and

land an internship?

That doesn't pay?

We're all in the

same boat, Katie.

I don't know, but

I really wish you had

told me all this

before the bar.

Why? So you could

act like this?

All judgemental and

holier than thou?

It's just not me.

Whatever.

Katie!

Hi. Do you have time for

a quick word?

Sure.

Well I'm sorry to have

to tell you this,

but you didn't get the

University of Florence

summer fellowship.

Damn.

It was very competitive

and they just had too many

qualified candidates.

Yeah, um...

Well, thank you

for letting me know.

No, no...

hold on, Katie.

From your performance

in class,

it's obvious you

deserve to be there.

So I did something I've never

done for any student before.

I spoke to the

members of the jury

and they've agreed to add

an extra spot for you.

Are you kidding?

No.

That's great!

Thank you so much!

The downside is,

while I got the fellowship

to pay for the course

you have to cover your own

flight and room and board.

But you can get a deal

at a pensione

and inexpensive food

on a meal plan.

Okay, uh, how much

will that run?

Around $7000

for the summer.

I just don't think

that's possible.

I'm already maxed

out on loans.

I literally have $22

in my bank account.

Can you talk

to your parents?

They're pretty much

tapped out now

helping me

however they can.

Look I know it's tough.

But this program is a

feeder into the top

interior design

firms in the country.

Believe me, I know.

I really wanna do it.
