What?

That's ridiculous.

Do not indulge her.

Look.

What is he doing here?

Well, he is a plastic surgeon.

He's probably done half the faces in here.

That's true.

You okay?

Yeah, its...

I drank a little too much.

I'm being summoned.

Hi, Dr. Broswell.

- Hey, Noelle.

All healed up.

Looks good, right?

It does.

Even if I do say so myself.

This is my sister I told you about, Karen.

- Hi.

Nice to meet you.

- It's nice to meet you.

Terrance..

- Yes

I want to introduce you to the

newest member of your team, Trista Miller.

James, you hired supermodels

to get me to stay?

Trista is one of our sharpest agent.

- I see.

Who looks like a supermodel.

She's going to be representing

you in independent features.

So.

How should we celebrate?

A little dancing.

No, no. No one actually

dances at these things.

How are you going to pave for Oscar,

win a path for me by doing

everyone else does?

Dance with him.

You heard the man. Dance with Me.

- Okay.

Yes?

- Hello, beautiful.

And don't worry,

I won't always talk to you like that.

When you start making me some money,

you'll be upgraded to gorgeous.

I love how I am two steps

away from my desk.

And they put you

through to my cell already.

Let me get this straight.

You've never worked

with a major movie star before.

How about I take you out to dinner.

To show you how the

whole thing is working?

How about we do lunch instead?

Because I'm a major movie star,

and I think that I just made

a request for my new agent.

Are you going to keep throwing this

major movie star thing around?

That's just kind of what

major movie stars do.

But this is work, right?

- Of course it is.

Look, we can meet tomorrow for dinner.

and you can tell me about how much

you accomplished on day 1.

Okay you go ahead you get back to work...

...and I'll give you a call tomorrow.

Yes, boss.

Bye.

Is Cory ready?

- Oh he's almost finished.

Well, that smells good.

You expecting somebody?

Well, I thought it would be nice

if we have a family dinner.

Oh, yeah.

We're going to the (LA)Kings' game.

Since when do you like hockey?

- Hey, little man.

You know he's excited

about the game though.

So, Maybe we'll do it another time?

Yeah, sure.

- Alright, come on.

He has a history project

coming up next weekend.

His counselor thinks

we should work together...

...on it with him...

together.

Yeah, just call me tomorrow and

we'll work out the schedules.

Okay.

- Alright. come on, man.

Have fun.

- We have great seats.

You know what.

- Then, we can both join the rally..

Check them right in the glass.

Right there.

You're good.

You gave me just the address on purpose...

...because you knew

I 'wouldn't' have dressed like this.

Barbecue and fried chicken.

I assumed that you

would be business casual.

You said it was work.

Are you dressed for a date?

Okay, you're funny,

but, since you brought up work.

I brought you these.

I've put notes on top.

Which one I think are 'No'

and which one I think are 'Yes'

This...

This is the best one out there.

Now, they were going in a

different direction, but...

I convinced them to consider you.

Your brain works like one of those

computer screens in Minority Report.

This sweeping things around

and reorganizing them.

Which is kinda cute.

- Kinda?

A little hot.

I'm into professional-agent client

relationship type of way.

Oh yeah, now.

I'm a professional like...

Sexually platonic.

Or is it platonic sexual?

What is 'platonic'?

Let's just like, swoop that word out.

You're funny. Okay.

- You looked amazing.

Thank you...

What?

- Happy to see you too.

If you're here to taunt

me again about the vow.

Honestly,

I don't need it.

No.

That's not what it is.

I know it's not my place,

and it's really none of my business.

But,

I think it's a good idea...

...to keep a bit of professional distance

between you and the clients.

And you think you're so much

sharper than me...

...that you needed to come in here

and state the obvious?

No, not sharper.

Just...

...more removed.

I've seen Terrance operate before.

- Well, thank you.

But, I'm good.

Trista,

why are you an agent?

Because...

- Because, why?

I grew up... in Compton,

just outside Hollywood,

but still outside Hollywood.

One year, my dad took me

to the Oscar's, just the bleaches.

And you could see the fans

and actresses and the paparazzi.

And suddenly being a latchkey kid from

Compton thought it just seemed so...

...far away.

You know.

The movies took the regular world and...

...turned it into something better.

And...

I knew then,

that I wanted to be a part of it.

I want you to think about that...

...every single time

you speak to Terrance Robb.

'Cos if you get too close,

all of that...

is in jeopardy.

Compton, huh?

How do your parents feel about

their little girl becoming a hot shot agent?

They're both gone now.

You know my friends are my family.

But they are very proud.

Maybe we should wait,

just...

Hey, look.

I was thinking the same thing.

I'm sitting here trying to be professional,

To get some work done

and you're trying to seduce me.

No, honestly.

It's just...

I don't think right

You don't have to explain.

If you want to wait,

we'll wait.

I mean I can wait for you.

Standing on my head.

Do it.

Right now?

- Yeah.

Don't tempt me,

because I'm gonna do it.

Don't let this big house

and this nice suit fool you.

I'll turn up.

Don't make me do it.

I ain't going to do it.

- Stand up.

Terrance is very excited about this.

We are too.

We would never have thought...

...to go that way with the role.

But he's definitely our Nick.

And sure adding his huge

box office doesn't hurt.

We find a way to be okay with that.

I know you will.

Call me for lunch.

Nice work, Trista.

- Thank you, James.

Now call your client.

Tell him you just got him the lead

in the hottest script in town.

I got an idea.

Terrance?

What are you doing here?

I'm... sorry.

I'm sorry.

Wait.

Wait.

I'm.. I'm...

I just. I...

...280 DAYS REMAINING

Can I run you a bath?

Since when do I take bath,

Viviane?

Only a woman with no self worth...

...would think of not having at least

one relaxing bath a week.

Well, I never take baths. So.

- There you go.

So, what is this Terrance Robb business?

I just got him a movie.

The movie.

And if he doesn't win an Oscar,

he would at least get nominated.

And.

I'm so excited.

You know I just...

I wanted to tell him and I called him

and I called him. He doesn't answer.

So I'm like,

I'll go over and maybe we can...

...celebrate or...

I walked in and it looks like some kind of...

...bad out take for Purple Rain.

I mean he's got strippers,

and they're popping pills,

And this masseuse man just...

...spraying body oil over everybody

and rubbing Terrance.

Wow.

So.

What's gonna happen with your job?

Well, I...

I mean I just got him that movie.

So...

I should be safe.

You know.
