>> Quelle surprise... Mary Sunshine, already

hard at work. >> Good morning, Bobby.

>> There's nothing good about mornings.

>> You don't know what you're missing.

>> Yes, I do...sleep. Thank God I've never

wanted to be King, or Queen for that matter.

I need my beauty sleep.

>> Gottman hates the layout! >> He always hates the layout.

>> No, I mean he really hates it this month.

>> Relax, Christine. >> Well, she is the one

who turned that boring piece of crap on Health Food Stores

into 'Viva Las Vegans'. >> That was my boring piece

of crap, thank you. >> Don't mention it.

>> Same goes for you. It was not a boring

piece of crap. Although I was grateful

for your title suggestion. >> Relax, Christine.

>> You already said that. >> Well, she can say it

but she can't do it. Not if she's going

to get what she wants. >> Really, and pray tell

what is it she wants? >> Um...dah...

She wants to get to the top in as little time as possible.

Zero to 60 in 10 seconds. Oh, and she always

tries to be the best. >> Will you two stop talking

about me like I'm not in the room.

And I don't try to be the best,

I just naturally am. >> Oh, and she's modest.

[music]

>> Good morning.

Paul >> Circulation is down, folks.

We need something hot for September.

George >> How about the three best day spas?

Paul >> George, I said hot. >> Three best martinis

in Manhattan? Paul >> Hot! Blistering,

boiling, burning. >> Oh, nice alliteration.

>> What was that? >> Blistering, boiling, burning.

I like it. So then, how about something

with a 'B'? >> That's the kind of genius

that comes from going to Harvard.

>> Brooklyn, no... basketball...bachelors.

>> Bachelors? >> 'Manhattan's Three

Most Eligible Bachelors.' >> Cosmo did it last year.

>> Or was it last month. >> Really, Hallie?

Eligible bachelors? Paul >> Leave her alone.

Last issue she wove straw into gold with that piece of crap

on Health Food Stores. >> I'm sorry,

did I say eligible? I meant confirmed.

>> That's just slang for gay. >> Bernard Shaw said that.

>> That's George Bernard Shaw. Hallie >> Actually he

detested his first name and he insisted that no one use it.

Bernard Shaw said that kind of slang is what

mutilates the English language. You see 'Manhattan Line'

magazine would have the opportunity to set it straight.

>> 'Straight', 'gay'? >> No, no pun intended, sir.

What I'm talking about is the truly confirmed bachelor.

The man who resolutely refuses to share his life.

The man married to his work. George >> Sounds more like

a certain woman we all know. >> It's the man for whom

no amount of beauty, brain or bank notes...

>> More alliteration. Christine >> I hate to say it,

Hallie, but it sound to me like the most heartless men

in Manhattan. >> No, see, that's just it.

These men have a heart, but no one's been woman enough

to reach in there and touch it. >> That sounds like surgery.

>> Yes...love surgery. It's the ultimate challenge

for the single woman to catch the uncatchable.

Come on, doesn't every woman want to be the Annette

to some Warren? To be the one who finally

is able to storm the barricades?

>> Another 'B'. >> And just so there's

no gold digging, we'll make it an auction,

an auction for charity.

The magazine will offer the opportunity to win

a dinner date with one of the confirmed bachelors.

And we'll have a big splashy, charity event gala.

We'll need a sponsor. Barbosa!

>> Another 'B'. >> We'll get Barbosa to sponsor

the gala, and display some of their jewelry.

>> Hmmm....

>> I love, it.

I love it, I love it, I love it.

Men and jewelry - the two things women can't resist.

All right. Make it happen.

>> Yes! Paul >> Hallie?

You increase circulation 25 percent...

you're my new Senior Editor.

[music]

[Christine snickers]

George >> Well, uh...

Good luck with your b-b-b-bonfire.

>> Thanks, George, but I don't believe in luck.

[music]

Christine >> You're just lucky looks can't kill.

Hallie >> Oh, you know I don't believe in luck, and besides,

if those boys aren't up to the task, then I am impervious

to their petty jealousies. >> What about mine?

>> Your what? >> My petty jealousy.

>> You're not jealous of me, Christine?

>> Oh yeah? You're always prepared.

You're ingenious, relaxed. What are these anyway?

They're delicious. >> They're Thai spring-rolls.

I made them this morning. >> And, you can cook.

Ticker >> Hey, hey, pardon me, ladies, can I interest you

in a lovely watch? >> No, thank you.

Eddie >> Leave them alone, Ticker.

Come on, scram. Go on.

>> I'll catch up with you later.

>> Step this way, ladies. Step right up, ladies.

Are you feeling lucky today? Christine >> She doesn't

believe in luck. >> What?

Come on, everybody believes in luck, and today could

be your lucky day if you play the 'Big Chance'.

All I need right now is a lovely assistant.

What about you, sweetheart? >> Well...

>> Oh, you're not serious! Eddie >> Step right up.

All you got to do is ante up a buck and you could

win a hundred. Here you go...

one hundred, one dollar bills.

A nice little bonus on your lunch break, right?

Okay, thank you.

Okay, a hundred, one dollar bills in the briefcase.

Keep your eyes on the prize.

>> If I win, I promise to relax. >> Ha, ha.

>> You ready to play the Big Chance?

And here we go, the Big Chance. Oh, now you're

watching very closely, right?

I don't how I make a living. I'm trying okay,

so bear with me. Okay, keep your eye

on your briefcase. Okay, this is going to happen

very fast because the hands are quicker than the eye.

Pay very close attention.

You must pay very close attention.

Keep your eyes watching, hands are quicker than the eyes.

Look out, whoops! I don't know where it went.

I'm not quite sure yet. Paying attention?

Which case has the dough?

[Hallie coughs]

>> Excuse me. No pay, no play, lady.

Which case has the dough?

[Hallie coughs]

>> That one!

>> This one right here? Christine >> Uh-huh.

>> This is the case? You choose this one?

Are you sure? Want to try this one,

or this one? Okay, is this the Big Chance?

[clicks]

>> Whohoo! >> Ta da, there you go.

Okay. Let's give Lady Luck a hand.

[applause]

Christine >> I've never won anything in my life, Hallie.

Hallie >> Yeah, you! >> And you still haven't

sweetheart. Your friend here cheated.

>> I cheated? No, he cheated.

Those briefcases have false bottoms.

He dropped the packet of money out of one,

and picked it up with another. >> He did?

>> He did. >> She's lying.

>> Hey, wait a minute. This happens to be Hallie

Galloway, the Features Editor of Manhattan Line magazine.

>> Christine! >> Oh, Hallie Gal,

the Features Editor of Manhattan Line magazine.

You know what? You got bad luck written

all over your face, Hallie Gal. >> Oh, I'm sorry,

that's Galloway. >> Whatever, Babe.

>> Babe? Babe?

>> I was being polite. >> No, no, you were being

your crass, slovenly, ignorant, smelly self.

>> You know what? Goodbye, Hallie Gal.

>> Jerk! >> Bye-bye Manhattan Line.

>> He cheated. >> You said that.

All men cheat. At least I won 100 bucks.

Besides, he was sort of cute.

>> Cute? >> Yeah, scrape off all

the grime, put him in an Armani suit and he could be one

of your confirmed bachelors.

>> Yeah, well, that's true of any of this riffraff.

>> Riffraff? Did you just say 'riffraff',

Hallie? >> Yes, I did.

Riffraff, riffraff, riffraff.

[music]

Eddie >> Angelo, winning this race will make you and I flush.

Announcer >> And down the home stretch, Top Hat in the lead.

She looks to have this race sewn up.

>> Attagirl Top Hat! This is unbelievable.

Announcer >> Wait now, Hallie Gal is moving to the rail.

>> Hallie Gal? Who the hell's Hallie Gal?

Announcer >> Billy Thompson's trying to pull her out,

but that little filly's got a mind of her own.

Look at her go! >> No, no, Top Hat.

Top Hat's the one supposed to win.

>> Take is easy. It's not over.

Announcer >> Yes sir, Hallie Gal's run off with Billy

Thompson who's only choice now is to hang on or he'll

be thrown over the rail. >> Billy Thompson, you

stupidest, stupid jockey! Announcer >> Hallie Gal's

trying to thread the needle folks, and Top Hat

sees her coming. >> There we go!

Atta girl Top Hat. Announcer >> Hallie Gal's

pushing through...Yes, Hallie Gal's a gal with heart.

>> No! No! No! Announcer >> Now it's Top Hat

and Hallie Gal neck and neck, down the home stretch.

>> Come on, come on, Top Hat. Come on, Top Hat!

Announcer >> And Hallie Gal moves into the lead.

>> No, no, Hallie Gal. What is that?

Announcer >> It's Hallie Gal and Top Hat,

Hallie Gal and Top Hat, and Hallie Gal wins by a nose.

>> No, God!

[click]

How could that happen?

[Eddie sighs]

>> Take it easy. Eddie, it's just money.

No, Ange.

I let you down.

Again.

Sorry, sorry. >> Eddie, hold on....

Eddie, come back.

[phone rings]

>> Good morning, Sunshine.

Hallie >> No, I can assure you, you would only be required

to have dinner with the auction winner.

No further physical or emotional commitment would be expected.

Eddie >> Hello! Hallie Gal, Manhattan Line!

Hello, Hallie Gal! >> Don, can I call you back?

Thank you. Ed >> I want to talk to Hallie.

You, you're Hallie Gal. >> That's Galloway.

Ed >> You, you jinxed my luck! You owe me a grand.

Hallie >> Call the police. Christine >> No, wait.

It's the guy from the square. >> That's right.

And you're the one made me lose my bet.

>> Call...the...police! Christine >> Come on, Hallie,

he's just drunk. We met at lunch

yesterday in the square. I won 100 bucks.

>> You! You hexed my luck.

George >> That's not a surprise. >> What?

>> She do that to you, too? >> Repeatedly.

>> She took my... >> I beg your pardon!

Eddie >> Did she take your hair?

Angelo loaned me the money. >> Angelo...?

Ed >> My Angelo, he's so good. Loves the restaurant.

Loves to cook. >> You love to cook.

>> And what does that have to do with anything?

>> I'm sorry? Why have we let a bum

just walk into our office and start yelling at me?

Oh, dear.

>> Oh my god, is he dead? Hallie >> Yeah, he's dead,

dead drunk. We have to get him out of here.

[click of telephone receiver]

What? >> We should to something

to help him. >> We?

That's why you're all staring at me?

>> You're the one who hexed his luck.

>> Oh, give me a break, George.

>> There, but for fortune.

Hallie >> As if you give a damn. [slams receiver]

All right, George, if you're feeling so generous,

why don't you dig into those pockets of yours?

Give him $1000 and send him on his way.

Eddie >> My $1000. >> Hey, I could be out

of a job soon, remember? If you snag my position,

what's to keep me from ending up like him?

>> Funny, that's kind of like what we were talking about

yesterday, but in reverse. Remember, in the square?

You said that you could turn any one of those riffraff

into one of your bachelors. >> But...

George >> Did you really say riffraff, Hallie?

>> Maybe.

>> You should try it with him.

It'd be a good deed. >> Good deed!

How am I suddenly responsible for cleansing

the unwashed masses? George >> Then how about

a wager? I bet you can't do it.

>> What are we betting on?

>> My job. [Hallie laughs]

>> George... I don't need a bet

to get your job. >> Then why don't we

up the stakes? >> And how would we do that?

>> Well, if you fail to cleanse this unwashed mass

and effectively include him in the auction,

then you resign from the firm.

No matter how successful your charity gala.

>> And how do you propose we convince him to participate?

>> We pay him $1000. >> Last time I checked, you're

not supposed to pay people to volunteer at a charity event.

>> You could tell him it's an honorarium.

>> Et tu, Bobby?

>> Just how good are you, Hallie Gal?

[music]

>> The best.

>> So is it a bet?

>> You bet your ass it is.

[music]

[Christine stifles gasps] [tries not to breathe]

Bobby >> Oh, very smelly, very smelly.

Christine >> Come on muscles. Bobby >> Oh, he smells like

dirty spaghetti. Christine >> Can't breathe.

>> Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa... Do not put him on my new sofa.

>> Where, already?

>> Um...oh, leather. I can wipe that down.

>> Okay... Yeah.

[gasps from exertion]

>> Hm...

All right, now, first things first.

He needs a bath. >> Can I watch?

>> Oh, you can do better than that, you can give it to him.

>> Now, wait a minute... >> Ah, haw, haw.

Who's the one who said we should do something to help him?

Here's your chance? What are you doing?

>> Monitoring your progress. I love a make-over.

>> Come on, we've got work to do.

>> We apples float. Christine >> What does

that mean, anyhow? >> I have no idea.

My mother used to say it at times like these.

Christine >> Times like these? There are no times like these.

Bobby >> Carry your end. Christine >> Carry your end!

[sound of water dripping]

>> And what do I do with these? >> Oh, toss them.

>> Is there a toxic waste dump near by?

>> Uh...no. But this will have to do.

>> Phew.

>> What a view! >> It's all right.

>> All right? It's spectacular, in case

you haven't noticed.

And you haven't, have you?

>> You know what they say, all work and no play.

>> Mom again?

>> Why don't you start with the hair.

>> Me? No way. >> But you have sisters

and brothers. >> And you have hair.

>> It's different when it's your own head, honey.

>> It was your idea.

[music]

[rattle, clatter] >> Hey!

[splash!]

Eddie >> What the...?

You! Hallie Gal, I ought to sue you!

>> Ha! Sue me?

For what? Hexing your luck?

You know what? I should sue you.

For verbal and nasal abuse.

>> So call my lawyer, 1 800 kiss my ass.

>> Now, children. >> Who's he?

>> The question is, who are you?

Or more importantly, who are you going to be?

>> What's he talking about? >> Miss Galloway has offered

to help you get the money to pay back your friend.

>> Angelo.

>> Right, Angelo.

>> Yeah.

[music]

Could I get some privacy?

>> Right.

>> Do you work out?

[footsteps]

Hallie >> No, really, try the dragon fruit.

Christine >> No thank you.

Bobby >> And more. Hallie >> Easy, Mary.

>> You know, you really could have your own cooking show.

>> Thanks.

>> Oh, man...!

>> Where are my clothes?

>> Pierre Du Monde's. >> Who?

[music]

[music]

>> Two hundred bucks for a t-shirt!

And you think I got a racket?

>> Sir, may I remind you that Pierre Du Monde

has a reputation for the finest in quality fashion.

>> What does he do, sit at home by himself

all day long and sew each one by hand?

>> We'll try this in a large and as far as his shirt size goes,

I defer to your expertise.

>> Yes, Madam, I'll just get my tape measure.

>> "Yes, Madam, I'll just get my tape measure."

Come on...! >> Oh, all right.

How about this? >> No.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You got this blue?

It's available in teal, azure, ocean, slate and winter sky.

>> You got this in blue?

>> Okay, you dress, I'll talk.

>> I just asked for blue, and he gives me

a frigging weather report. >> Pants.

[music]

>> These things all real?

>> Ha, ha, ha. He's such a kidder.

>> Which one, madam? >> That one.

>> How much?

Holy sh...! >> We'll take it!

>> Yes, Madam.

>> Hey, whoa! We bought this thing, right?

Hands off.

>> The gentleman prefers to wear it.

>> Very well.

[music]

>> Ticker's got dozens of these things.

Twenty bucks tops.

>> Yes, but yours is real.

>> I get to keep this? >> Of course.

You get to keep everything, including your honorarium.

It's all on Manhattan Line.

>> Why are you doing all this for me?

>> We're doing it so that you can pay back your friend Angelo.

>> Yeah, but what do you get out of it?

Helping out some bum?

>> You really shouldn't refer to yourself as a bum.

>> That's what I am, lady,

no matter what you cover it with.

>> Thank you.

[music]

>> My, my, my.

>> Are we all set? >> Well, I did have to call in

the SWAT team, but yes, they're ready for him.

[music]

>> All right, here we go.

>> Hello, gorgeous.

>> Not bad. >> Nice work, boss.

>> Thank you. Thank you very much.

>> Hey, what about me? I've done all the work.

>> Oh, well, then clearly you don't know the meaning

of the word, because the real work begins now.

>> Come on, what babe won't bid on me?

>> Ha, ha. Well, let's see?

Hmmm... Any babe with half a brain.

[music]

>> Oh, too bad you got such a crappy view, huh?

Bobby >> Yes, dreamy, isn't it? >> It's fan-fu....

>> Eddie! No profanity!

>> That means swearing.

>> There's no room for crutches in a cultured man's vocabulary.

>> I was just going to say, it looks like someone

took a handful of diamonds and tossed them across the sky.

>> I love diamonds.

>> Wow.

>> So, I've been making a list of some of Eddie's

less than desirable habits.

Your posture is terrible, your diction is atrocious,

and you clearly know nothing about world events.

Let's just say we have a lot of work to do before your debut.

>> What are you talking about? >> Your make-over.

>> Make-over? We already done that.

>> 'Did that', and no, we haven't.

Your appearance is only part of the package.

Whoever wins the date with you at the auction is going to

scream for her money back the minute you open your mouth.

You have to fit in with Manhattan's elite.

>> You know, you're probably one of those type A's right?

You probably got straight A's all through school, right?

>> As a matter of fact I did. But you know what?

This isn't about me. It's about you.

And if you would just learn to apply yourself you could

meet the right people, and if you met the right people,

you have a chance at a whole new life.

>> Hey, hold on. I got a life.

>> Oh, what? That little shell game

in the square. >> I do all right.

I turn a buck. >> Okay, well, if that's all

you want out of life, that's fine, but in the

meantime, on our dime, you're going to learn

to be a gentleman.

Bobby >> Um-hum.

>> Okay, so what is it exactly you want out of life?

>> Not that it's any of your business,

but I want to pull off this charity event and then I want

to be appointed Senior Editor of Manhattan Line magazine.

That's what I want. >> Yeah, then what?

Bobby >> Ahem, I should be shuffling off about now.

>> Oh no, no, no, you don't. You think I'm staying here

alone with him tonight, you're so wrong.

>> Okay. >> You do want to be

the Executive Assistant to the Senior Editor

at Manhattan Line magazine, don't you?

Please!

>> I really have been drinking a lot today,

and that couch looks so comfortable.

Hallie >> There's an air mattress in that chest.

If you could grab it for Eddie it would be wonderful.

Bobby >> Um-hum. >> Well, I am out of here.

It's been... Well...

Let's just leave it at that. Good night, Eddie.

>> 'Night. >> Bobby.

Bobby >> Um-hum.

>> Oh, no. No, no, sit.

We have work to do.

[music]

>> Okay, art in the 15th and 16th centuries.

I can read you know.

>> Wonders will never cease.

[air pump whooooooooshhhhh....]

[music]

[music]

>> I see someone's been hard at work.

[footsteps]

>> Ahem.

>> Where's Bobby?

>> He just left. And I've been working.

All night, okay?

Give me a quiz. Come on.

Go ahead. Ask me somethin'.

>> It's 'something', by the way, and...

Okay, why don't you tell me about Picasso?

>> Did you know Picasso invented Cubism,

along with some guy named Brackee?

>> Braque. >> Well, he did.

>> But that's very good. >> Um-hum.

>> There you go. >> What is this?

Like a doggie biscuit? Good boy!

Here's a treat. >> Well, actually I baked

those and I thought you might be hungry.

>> Did you know Picasso was also the first guy to use

'collage' in oil painting.

>> You have been working. >> And that Nels guy,

his whole Zen thing about investing money,

you know, "don't go bananas with your emotions

if you lose your shirt." Very cool.

>> Well, that is actually what he's asserting.

>> You made these? >> Yes.

>> Good. You know, all those books

kind of say the same thing, right?

You dream it, you live it, you get it.

>> Right, so you see that you could have the same thing.

You could do anything you want. >> Me?

Oh, no, no. That would never work with me.

>> We're gonna have to work on that one.

[camera clicks] Okay, so a little more serious.

That's good, that's great. Okay, so pretend that you've

just come back from a really important lunch meeting.

You're on your way to have drinks with a gorgeous girl.

You know what? Let's try the flowers.

[music]

We'll try the flowers, see if they work.

>> Thank you. Hallie >> Okay, that's good.

Why don't you try putting your leg up on the statue.

Great.

[music]

You know what? Don't do that.

That's not right. Leg down, leg down.

It's not a cheesecake calendar, right?

Okay, and, um... You know, look over here.

Great, that's great.

[music]

>> Tell me something good, Bobby!

Oh, yes, I knew Barbosa would come through with the goods.

It is amazing what the words 'charity' and 'tax deductible'

can get you. Bobby >> Um-hum.

>> How are we doing with the construction of the

display cases for the gala? >> Oh, we are green light go,

girl. >> Oh good, I want these

women to be blinded by bling and they will just bid

their little tails off.

We finally have all three bachelors on board,

I mean, that is if Eddie can hold up his end of the deal.

>> Hallie. >> Mr. Gottman.

>> Rise, rise, rise. How's our pet project coming?

>> Perfectly. >> Good, Barbosa's on board?

>> 100 percent. >> Good, good, let's see.

We've got a doctor, a therapist. What does this fellow do?

>> Oh, he's a businessman.

Very reclusive so he conducts most of it out of the country.

>> Where?

>> Where was he? He was in Hawaii.

>> You said out of the country. >> Well, for like a week.

Oh, Fiji.

>> Oh, my second wife lives in Fiji.

>> He's not there anymore, because he went from Fiji

to Dubai and then to Galapagos Islands

because he conducts his business on a yacht.

Yes, always going east to west, west to east,

you know, full of surprises.

>> Wow, sounds like we're lucky to have him.

What's his name? >> Uh...Ed...mond

Edmond...pen broke Penbroke the Third.

>> Listen, I'm having a little get together at my

country club in Connecticut a week from Saturday.

Bring this Mr. Penbroke.

>> That sounds fantastic. We'll be there.

[receding footsteps]

[music]

Hallie >> We really need to work on your profile.

Eddie >> My what? >> Your profile, your identity.

You know...who you are. >> Okay.

So, who am I?

>> Well, thanks to me, you are Edmond Penbroke the Third,

you have a yacht and you're a very successful businessman.

>> Nice. What kind of business?

>> What kind of business? And, I don't know.

That's all I have. I don't know anything else.

All I know is that I have to take you to my boss's country

club the weekend after next. That's less than 10 days.

Oh, my god, what have I done? >> Oh, relax, take it easy.

>> Easy? Easy for you to say! I'm the one who's going

to lose her job. I'm the one who's never

going to work in publishing again.

I'm the one... >> And you're the one who got

straight A's in school, right? >> Yes, so?

>> So, I'm just another subject.

Hey, come here. >> Oh, oh, oh.

What are you doing? >> I was just going to

walk you into the kitchen. >> Why?

>> From what I've seen, that's where you do your best thinkin'.

>> Thinking. >> Thinking.

Okay, so let's take a deep breath, yes, we'll start over.

So what kind of business do I do?

>> Well, let's see, uh...there's real estate,

or import-export.

How about mergers and acquisitions?

You know you're going to be speaking with some

very intelligent people.

>> You do know yer way 'round food.

>> It's your, not yer, and around, not 'round.

>> You could say thank you. >> For what?

>> For what I just said about yer cookin'.

>> It's not like I'm Angela Lawson or something.

>> Who? >> Never mind.

All right, I've made a list of your grammatical mistakes

and tomorrow I am enrolling you at the learning institute.

>> For what? >> English as a second language.

>> I was born right here in America, thank you.

>> Yes, but you have to learn how to speak properly,

and you have to learn to do it fast, all right?

So there's no more dese, dem and dose.

Those words begin with a 'th'.

It's these, them and those.

And it's you, not ya and your, not yer,

and it's kind of, not kinda, and you have to stop

dropping your G's. It's ing, like coming and going.

>> Cooking, and you still ought to say thank you.

>> You need to work on etiquette.

Your table manners are atrocious.

>> Manners, okay that's rich, because you don't even

got the manners to say thank you.

>> You need to learn to use cutlery properly.

Some of my cutlery is missing.

>> Why don't you check your

dishwasher, okay? Because I am not a thief.

>> This coming from the man who uses false bottom briefcases.

>> You know what? You're not the only one

who can makes lists, okay? 'Cause you are not

perfect neither. >> Either.

>> Number 1, you make lists. Number 2, you're uptight.

Number 3, you are always givin'...giving orders.

Number 4, you don't have faith in anybody but you.

You don't laugh. You don't smile.

I don't think you even know how to have fun.

>> I know how to have fun. >> Yeah, like what?

>> My work is fun. >> A minute ago, you were

freaking out about it so bad, I had to walk you

into the kitchen. >> You didn't have to walk

me anywhere. >> And then, you're always

on your damn computer, or on your cell phone,

e-mailing or testing everybody. >> Texting. Texting.

>> Texting, whatever. I think you probably do that

when you have sex, too, if you ever even do have sex.

>> I have plenty of sex! >> Do you? Really?

[phone rings]

[clatter]

>> You agreed to be Manhattan Lines bachelor

so that you could pay back what's-his-name.

>> Angelo is his name.

If it wasn't for him, I would be long gone.

>> Well, nonetheless, you agreed to do this.

And you agreed to do whatever was necessary to pull it off.

[music]

>> It ain't broke.

>> Heaven forbid.

>> And I apologize.

>> Thank you.

So, Mr. Penbroke, what line of work should we put you in?

You know, I think it should be something in keeping

with your skill-set. That, uh...

That shell game you do. What is it called?

The Big, uh... >> The Big Chance.

It's a hustle, same as Wall Street,

except I don't want to do the big hustles like them,

'cause... because I like people.

And I don't want to take advantage of them.

Too much.

>> That is why we are going to put you in real estate.

It's win-win. The buyer and the seller are

both getting what they want, or at least what they need.

>> Now you sound like Mick Jagger.

>> From you, I will take that as a compliment.

>> It is.

[music]

Hallie >> Ahem. Eddie?

[music]

>> Thank you.

[music]

Your napkin.

[music]

Ahem.

On your lap.

[music]

Bon appetit.

[music]

Uh...

Not like that.

Like this.

[music]

Eddie >> Like this?

[music]

[slurp]

>> Sip, don't slurp.

[music]

>> Honestly, this might be the best thing

I've ever tasted in my entire life.

[music]

"Why, thank you, Eddie."

>> Thank you, Eddie.

>> You're welcome.

Mmmm... Who taught you how

to cook like this? Your mother?

>> Ha, ha, ha. Hardly.

I don't think my mother could find her way

to the kitchen with a map.

No, actually I had this amazing Jamaican nanny

when I was growing up.

And every day when I came home from school,

she would just be cooking up a storm.

I mean pots everywhere. It was amazing.

She'd pick me up and hold me over the pot and make me stir

and I just got the bug I guess.

>> Well, your boyfriends were lucky.

>> Not really.

I mean one of us was always working too late and never

had time or they wanted to go out to some fancy restaurant

or something, instead of staying home.

But thank you, Mr. Penbroke.

I will pass your compliments along to the chef.

>> Please do.

[music]

Uh...you have a... >> What?

>> I don't know that this is the proper etiquette,

but you have a little bit of yummy chocolate stuff

right there, right there on your lip.

>> Oh dear. Well, that's embarrassing.

>> No, it's...right... still...

>> Did I get it? >> Please, allow me.

>> I'm so embarrassed.

>> It's right... here.

>> Get it? Some teacher I am.

>> Well, you know if you had been using your cutlery

properly, this would-a never-a happened.

>> Never would have happened. >> That's what I said.

>> No, it's not. >> Yes.

>> It's not. You can't cover that.

[music]

>> It's late.

We have a big day tomorrow.

>> Big day, yup. Never have a little day?

>> What's that supposed to mean?

>> Nothing.

[music]

>> I must be the stupidest woman in New York.

I'm jeopardizing everything...

my promotion, my job, and for what?

A guy.

I mean, I'm falling for a guy that, less than two weeks ago,

was not much more than a park bum.

And you know what? Before that, my life

was perfect. I mean, okay, I didn't have

any fun and I never smiled or laughed but it was perfect.

You're a therapist, you must hear this all the time.

I don't know what to do and I have no one else to talk to.

[knock, knock, knock] >> Come in.

Eddie. >> Hola. Como estas?

>> Now if that's what they're teaching you,

I want my money back. >> No, no, you don't

have to worry. I'm just taking a bonus Spanish

lesson during the break. Can I talk to you for a minute?

>> Sure.

Okay. >> Ahem.

Geez, this is tougher than I thought it would be.

These two guys staring at me.

>> What is it, Eddie?

[music]

>> Thank you.

[music]

Okay, well... Do what you have to do.

>> You said you'd do it.

>> No, no, I said I would answer whatever questions this

Mr. Angelo might have. >> He's going to have plenty.

>> Okay, well, time is of the essence.

>> Huh? >> I'm running late.

>> What else is new?

[music]

>> Sorry folks, we don't start dinner for half hour.

Hallie >> Oh, but we're not here for dinner.

>> So, what can I do for you?

>> Angelo, it's me... Eddie.

>> Eddie... >> Yeah.

>> Eddie, I been worried sick.

>> Angelo, I'm sorry. Things have been going,

you know, happenin' real... Could you, could you...?

>> I've got it. Angelo, my name is

Hallie Galloway. Eddie has undergone a make-over

for his participation in a very special competition

we're having at Manhattan Line magazine.

See he's going to earn the money he needs to repay you

by participating in an auction at a charity gala

later this month. >> Eddie.

>> I just gotta pretend I'm some rich guy.

>> A wealthy confirmed bachelor.

>> Hold on. This is about the grand?

>> Yeah. I can pay you back, Ange.

>> Eddie, it's nice to see you all cleaned up,

but I'm in no big hurry to get the cash back.

>> What are you talking about, Angelo?

I can pay you. >> Eddie...

It's the people that matter, Eddie.

I ought to know, huh? The money, it's not important

to me. Pay me back when your

ship comes in. >> Well, the auction's

not just about money. There's a lot more to it.

Eddie will have opportunities to better himself in society.

>> Better himself in society.

Better's a good thing, but this auction...?

>> You always said I could make something of myself.

>> Of yourself, you, Eddie, not some pretend rich guy.

How is he supposed to keep up this charade

after your auction is over? >> Well, he'll meet people,

important people, and if he plays his cards right...

>> I always been good at cards.

>> Just make sure that they're not playing fifty-two pick-up,

if you know what I'm saying. >> Don't worry, okay?

This time I'm betting on me.

Hey? >> Hey.

Eddie >> I look good, huh? >> Yeah!

[music]

[Bobby whistles] >> Thank you, Bobby.

You know we really need a new picture of the therapist.

He looks miserable. >> Well, you'd be miserable,

too, if you had to listen to all the crap

that he does every day.

>> Well, then maybe he should give up his Ferrari

and his Brownstone at 63rd off Park and move to Brooklyn

with some nice lady who will spend the rest of her life

devoting herself to his happiness.

>> That's a rhetorical question, oui?

>> Oui. Look, he has everything

he wants. All I want is a decent

picture of him. He wrote a book.

See if the photo off the dust jacket's any good.

>> And if the dust cover photo sucks?

>> That's what Photoshop is for.

Just get it done, please. I've got too much to do here.

Oh, and I need you to email the printer.

I'd like the invitations as soon as possible.

>> Done, they'll be here Thursday by three.

>> Okay, I've pulled the profile of some of Manhattan's

who's who, so that when Eddie runs into them he might know

something about them, and, well who the hell

they are for starters. Now, what are we

working on for his debut? >> Did someone say debut?

>> Yes, I did, what do we have? >> Let's see.

Wine tasting at Lampert's.

The Halfmoon Art Gallery opening.

>> Oh, that's good. We'll do that.

>> Art? Do you really think he can handle himself, Hallie?

>> Oh, he's been studying really hard.

He's very bright.

>> Hm...and cute.

>> You talk about him like he's a French poodle.

Standard, of course. >> I'm just saying that he's

come a long way in a week from, you know, the street.

>> Mm-hum?

>> Mm-hum.

[music]

[music]

>> Oh, hey, pardon me, sir.

Afternoon, can I interest you in a watch?

That's a very nice watch.

Have a nice day.

Do I know you from somewhere?

I know you from somewhere. That's for sure.

Can't fool Ticker.

[music]

>> His brush stroke is fluid and elegant,

and his use of colour gives it an effervescence.

[music]

>> What do you think?

>> His brush stroke is fluid and elegant,

and his use of colour gives it an effervescence.

>> You have a good eye. >> Thank you.

[kiss]

Edmond Penbroke the Third.

[music]

>> Effervescence.

>> It means bubbles.

>> Really? >> You were great tonight.

Tomorrow's the big test.

Eddie >> Either sitting would be fine for me.

Just as long as they did what they said.

[laughter]

>> Just don't use it in mixed company.

>> Fair enough, fair enough. >> So, tell me Mr. Penbroke,

what made you decide to locate in New York?

>> Oh, one tires of travel. >> I'm afraid I can

only imagine. 'Manhattan Line'

is a full time mistress. >> Well, I admire your

work ethic. Ms. Galloway here, she tells me

that you are the best in the business.

>> She exaggerates. Excuse me.

>> Cheers. Nice enough.

>> Well, you certainly have a knack for saying exactly

what people want to hear. Carter, Sean Carter.

>> Edmond Penbroke. >> The Third, so I hear.

>> Yes, that's right. May I introduce

Ms. Hallie Galloway. >> Yeah, we've met.

>> Sorry, excuse us. >> Cheers.

Who was that? >> Nobody.

George >> Must be awkward running into the ex.

>> Ex? >> Oh, sorry, Hallie.

>> Ex? Ex what?

>> Husband. >> Really?

Then why did you say nobody? >> Because that's

what he is to me. >> Edmond, I can't tell you

how thrilled we are to have someone of your stature

in our charity auction. >> Well, like I say, any

publicity is good publicity. >> Well, that's certainly true

in the publishing business. Whether good or bad,

publicity can boost sales, and make careers.

>> Cheers to that. >> Cheers. [glasses clink]

Hallie >> To the auction. Eddie >> To the auction.

Paul >> Thanks for coming. Eddie >> All pleasure.

What a way to go. Hallie >> Thank you.

[footsteps]

[Eddie chuckles] [Hallie heaves sigh of relief]

Eddie >> Yes.

You never said you were married. >> Neither did you.

>> I never was.

>> Right.

>> How long did it last?

>> Oh, a year, which was exactly 365 days too long.

>> Why'd you do it?

>> It seemed like a good idea at the time.

He was perfect.

He was Harvard educated, well travelled, charming,

punctual. I thought I knew him.

What I didn't know was his

proclivity for cocktail waitresses.

>> Oh, that's rough. >> Yeah.

Actually, you know, I think I did know.

I just chose to ignore it, because, everybody loved him.

Everyone...my friends, and my parents, and...

as usual I was doing things for the approval of others.

>> Well, you don't have to do anything to get mine.

>> Why? Because I'll never have it?

>> No. Because you already have it.

You want to take a walk?

>> Um...yeah, sure. >> We'll come pick that

up in a minute. >> Okay.

>> Thanks. Oh, I'm getting the arm.

[music]

>> Honestly, I was sweating bullets all day.

I thought I was going to blow it at any point in time.

>> Really? Couldn't tell.

You were a pro out there. You really pulled it off.

>> 'We' pulled it off.

Didn't we, Hallie?

>> Yeah, I guess we did.

[music]

[phone rings]

>> Huh...!

Ohhh... This better be good, Bobby.

[footsteps]

>> Good morning. >> 'Morning.

>> I thought I would cook for you for a change.

>> Okay.

I'm not used to seeing you from this side.

>> Well, get used to it.

>> So you're not upset about last night when we

got back here, are you? >> No, no.

I think you're absolutely right about not taking

things too fast.

>> It's just I'm not sure about...

Well, about mixing business with pleasure.

>> Here, try this. Eggs a la Angelo.

I learned it from the man himself.

Those profiles that you gave me...

>> Yes. >> It got me thinking.

All these guys... they're really rich.

Right? >> As Croesus.

>> What? >> A really rich guy.

>> Well, I didn't see his profile in here,

but I bet you I'm as smart as all these jokers.

I'm just lacking the education

and a few five syllable words.

So, I've decided I'm going to do it.

I'm going to go back to school.

>> Eddie that's fantastic!

That is a great idea.

>> When I was five my mother used to like to go

to the carousel. She loved the painted horses,

and the corny music.

So I went out and I found one of those little music boxes

that played the same tune.

When I gave it to her she cried.

She used to play it over and over and over.

One day my father came home, drunk,

and he smashed it to bits.

It made me feel like it was pointless to do anything

that you cared about.

And, well, that's...

But now I feel otherwise,

thanks to you.

>> To me? I don't understand.

>> Other than Angelo, you are the only person

who ever believed

that I could make something of myself.

And for the first time in a long time,

I'm feeling like it's worth a shot.

I don't mean to bum you out.

>> No, no, no, no. You're not, you're not.

It's just been a really long time since I've felt responsible

for someone else's feelings.

Actually, I don't think I've ever been responsible

for anyone else's feelings.

>> I'm sorry I ran off at the mouth.

Seriously, I got to go to English class and I know you

got to get to the office because you got a lot of work

because you always got a lot of work.

So, no big deal, okay? And don't worry,

I will memorize these.

[music]

>> So how perfect is the timing for this weekend's do

at Chazz Haberman's?

>> It's perfect. >> I told you it was good.

>> You were right, as always.

>> Are you okay?

>> No.

Yes.

I don't know. >> Oh, dear.

You bad boy.

What have you done?

>> He didn't do anything,

that I didn't want him to do. >> Tsk, tsk, tsk.

[Hallie sighs]

>> Bobby I need you to make a dinner reservation...

for two. >> Okay.

Where? Crystaline?

The Blue Room? L'Oiseaux?

>> No.

I think I'll try something different.

[music]

[music]

Hallie >> This is a family secret of mine, this joint.

>> This is a very surprising but wonderful choice.

>> I just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work.

And to say that I don't think

mixing business with pleasure is such a bad idea.

[gurgle of wine being poured]

>> Wait, wait...

Let's see if I remember what you taught me.

Fine colour...

Wonderful bouquet...

Excellent.

Gratsi.

How'd I do?

>> Very good, very good. You're pro.

>> To the prettiest girl in Manhattan.

>> To Edmond Penbroke the Third and his continued success.

[glasses clink]

>> It's good to have you home.

>> Thanks, Angelo.

>> You know this place has been like a home to me.

When I was a stupid teenager I used to hide out in the kitchen

when the cops were looking for me.

I didn't have such a good upbringing.

I came here to the city,

fell in with a kind of a rough crowd.

Then I started stealing.

I stole everything, stereo equipment, cars,

valuable jewels, you name it.

If I could sell it, I would steal it.

But that was a long time ago.

Another lifetime.

Now, I play with briefcases in the park

and I accost the pretty editors from Manhattan Line magazine.

>> Do you ever think about returning to it?

>> No.

Only on the really bad days,

you know, when I feel like I'm nothin'.

Nothing.

But when I feel like that, I come here

and I talk to Angelo and he sets me straight.

Angelo >> Excuse.

>> Ah. Ahhhh...

>> Thank you.

>> Uh?

>> Ah-ha, ah-ha. >> Ah-ha.

Eddie >> That's how we do it. >> Save some room

for the zabaglioni!

>> Yeah, you just tuck it right in there.

>> To what?

Hallie >> So these are some of the jewels that will

be on display at the gala.

>> Impressive bling! >> Yeah, I'll say!

It's two million dollars' worth.

Between you and jewelry, that's going to be

an awful lot of eye candy.

[a child starts crying]

>> I have an idea.

Hey.

Hi, what's your name? >> Abbey.

>> Abbey, do you want to see a trick?

Are you sure you want to see a trick?

Watch. See these?

I'm gonna make them fly. Ready?

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...

[clap, clap, clap...]

Okay, want to see one more trick?

See this right here?

See if you can see where it goes.

It's going to go in this hand right here

and I'm going to squish it and squish it

and squish it, and...

poof! Do you know where it is?

It's right here!

In your ear! How did that happen?

How did that happen? In your ear!

Would you like to keep this?

It's a magic cork, so you've got to take care of it.

There you go.

>> That's impressive.

>> It's his favourite.

>> Thanks, Angelo.

Would you like to see a magic trick?

Ready? I'll take this napkin

right here in the middle of the table.

Abracadabra!

Oh!

For you.

I couldn't find any wrapping paper so I took

some paper from your printer. I hope that's okay.

[paper rustles]

[music box music]

>> I love it. Thank you.

>> Thank you.

[music]

>> Hi.

>> Good morning. >> 'Morning.

>> I just want you to know,

you're late for work. >> Yes!

How do you feel about a weekend in the Hamptons?

>> I'm in.

>> Don't misunderstand me. This will be work.

>> Some work. >> Yes, well Chazz Haberman

is having one of his elaborate parties at his posh estate.

>> Good old Chazz. >> Yes, well, everyone at the

office thought it was a good idea to have a run-through

before the auction.

>> Will there be plenty of pompous, pugnacious

and pretentious people there?

>> Nice alliteration. >> Thank you.

You're a good teacher.

>> I can show you a few other things.

[music]

Eddie >> So I came around the corner and I pushed

the bushes aside and there I was nose to nose with the

biggest rhinoceros I have ever seen.

I could feel the breath on my face.

>> God, what did you do?

>> I slowly reached up and...

changed the channel!

>> Sean, will you stop following me wherever I go?

>> Hallie, I need to talk to you please.

>> No, there's nothing to say. >> Can you just step inside

for one minute?

>> No. >> One minute.

>> All right, fine.

[footsteps]

>> Would you excuse me for one minute, I'll be right back.

>> Certainly. >> Thank you.

>> I know I made some big mistakes and I've done

a lot of growing up lately and what I've learned is that

we're meant to be together.

>> Wha...? [cell phone rings]

>> Do you need to take that? >> No, it's fine.

It's just the office. Look, Hallie, we both know

I'm far better for you than that phony Edmond Penbroke.

>> Phony? What do you mean? >> Well, the way he's sucking

up to Gottman, any publicity is good publicity.

Come on...

We're two of a kind and you know it.

[music]

>> Wow, you have unbelievable timing.

[music]

I'm with Edmond. >> I know.

Just have dinner with me next week.

Or lunch, at least? [cell phone rings]

>> That might be important. Maybe you should take it.

>> It's not important. They can do without me.

[cell phone rings] >> Since when do you

not take a call? >> Hallie...!

>> "Thanks for the hot night last night, sugar,

love and kisses, Tammy." >> Hallie...

>> It's good to know some things never change.

Oh, and that phoney Mr. Penbroke?

He's about as genuine as they come.

[music]

Eddie >> Okay, now keep your eyes on the prize,

it's going to happen fast.

Are you watching? >> I am.

Now where's the prize? >> Right there.

>> This one? >> Um-hum.

>> Is this your lucky day? >> Um-hum.

Oh, yes it is. Look at that.

>> And so do you stage private performances?

>> You are a naughty woman, aren't you?

>> You have no idea.

[music]

>> All right, so everyone's getting ready to go

to the horse show. There's going to be a van

out front in about five minutes.

Christine >> Okay.

>> Are you coming, Hallie Gal?

>> No, I've got a ton of work to catch up on.

I'll just be in the tent. Christine >> Eddie?

>> Why don't you go ahead? You seem to be doing

just fine on your own?

>> You look like you're doing just fine on your own, too.

>> What do you mean?

>> I mean I just happen to walk by here before

and glance inside and I saw you and your ex, Mr. Nobody,

and you guys sure looked cozy to me.

>> I'm sorry you had to see that,

but it's not what you think. >> Oh, it wasn't two people

kissing? >> Look, Eddie, he caught me

off guard. Okay?

But I promise you it's over between Sean and I.

There's nothing left there. >> You know what, Hal?

You don't even owe me an explanation.

>> Eddie...

I need you to trust me on this. It's done.

>> Really?

>> Really.

>> I wasn't jealous.

>> Yeah, well, you're making quite an impression on everyone.

Especially the ladies.

You could have any girl you want.

Clearly. >> I don't want any girl.

I want a particular girl.

I'm just not sure if she wants me.

>> She does.

She does.

[music]

>> Oh, my god!

I did this with my parents once.

>> What are you doing here?

You're supposed to be at the horse show.

>> I left my glasses here, and the driver's waiting

for me to get them. But more importantly,

what are you doing here?

>> Uh.... I'll leave you guys to...

you guys talk... >> Okay.

>> What does he mean by 'letting us talk'?

What haven't you been telling me?

You've been sleeping with him! Are you out of your mind Hallie?

I mean he might have the others fooled but you know

who he really is! >> Whatever happened to

'doing something to help him'? >> Helping him doesn't mean

sleeping with him for god's sake!

George >> Hey, did you see where Christine went?

The van driver told her he'd wait, but he's gone.

>> Uh...She's in the tent there with Hallie.

I'll, uh...I'll tell her. >> Okay.

Christine >> You called him a hustler and a scam artist,

a slovenly unkempt loser.

This isn't about this stupid bet, is it?

>> Bet? What bet?

>> The one she made with me.

About how she could turn you into one of her VIP bachelors.

Why don't you tell him, Hallie?

>> That's what this whole thing's been about?

You bet him you could turn a loser into a somebody?

>> Yes... >> And I thought it was

about me and Angelo, and that you believed in me.

But it was all about a stupid bet?

>> Eddie, please, I can explain....

>> Whoa, whoa, look at the big high rollers, okay?

Playing me for a chump. I mean...

Here, let's turn a loser into a big shot and win a bet.

I...I may be a hustler and a scam artist

but I am an amateur compared to you.

At least when I bet I play with money,

not people's lives.

[music]

Ticker >> Excuse me, gentlemen, can I interest you in a watch?

You're passing up on a good deal.

Quality heritage time piece here.

Yeah, yeah.

Nah...

How're you doing? Got no money.

Yeah, it is you! I knew it was you!

Fast Eddie! Ha, ha, ha! I thought I recognized you.

So I didn't recognize you last time.

Where you been? >> Jail.

>> Ah, so that's what happened to the old...?

>> Yeah, you know how they do you.

>> Yeah.

>> Ticker, do you know where I can find

a good fence for this thing?

>> I'll give you $5 for it. >> It's the real deal, Ticker.

>> Really? You know, I ain't never seen

a real one of those before. Can I, can I....?

I don't know. Can't tell the difference.

>> So who do you know?

>> Yeah, well, I know some guys...

But, uh...do you know where that came from?

You know, it's a shame. It's a shame, because

a few more pieces of that quality and you could write

your own ticket, my friend.

[music]

You got something? Huh?

You do! You got something!

>> Maybe.

[music]

Christine >> How long since you talked to Eddie?

>> Oh, he'll be here. Eddie will be here.

>> Even after he found out about your little bet?

>> He gave me his word. [door clicks open]

>> Oh, the jewelry's here!

Security >> We're looking for Hallie Galloway.

>> Oh, yes, that's me. Right this way, please.

[music]

No, no, it's all right. She's with me.

>> And I just love jewelry.

[music]

>> It's going to be dry by the time the guests arrive.

Hallie >> Thank you very much. Ticker >> You're welcome.

Have a good night. >> You, too.

[music]

Security >> It's gone!

>> Ohhh.... Security >> We got a Code Three!

[music]

Ticker >> Smooth as butter. Couldn't have been easier.

I made the switch right from underneath the noses of them

guards and the high class blond that was running the thing.

Man, I'd love to see her face when she realized

these babies was gone. Oh, and by the way,

these trick cases of yours? Oh, they're a crook's dream.

It's good to have you back, Eddie.

You're a good thief.

[music]

[murmur of voices]

Bobby >> Excuse me.

>> How's Christine? >> Nothing a little morphine

can't handle. >> And Eddie, is he here yet?

>> No, but the other two bachelors are ready,

so it's show time. [applause]

Emcee >> All right ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much.

There's bachelor number one and a fine, fine bid.

Thank you so much for coming out tonight.

And up next is bachelor number two.

Okay, come on, ladies, he's a cardiologist.

If he breaks your heart he can fix it.

Seriously, you get dinner at Le Cirque, and if you're lucky

the good doctor will give you mouth to mouth.

Do I have some bids for our cardiologist?

I see $10,000 in the back. We have $11,000 over here.

I've got $14,000 in the back. Do I see...?

I have $20,000, $25,000.

>> Who is that cutie? I don't see him anywhere.

Emcee >> $27,000.

>> I mean I could be bachelor number three.

I could pretend I'm a little straight.

>> It's time. Hurry!

Emcee >> And now for our final bachelor of the evening.

He's handsome, he's brainy, he's on a first name basis

with the Dali Lama. Just yesterday I heard him say,

"Hello, Dolly!"

Please welcome bachelor number three,

Edmond Penbroke the Third!

[applause]

That's, Edmond Penbroke the Third.

[applause]

Calling Edmond Penbroke.

[applause]

>> Can I have this?

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much

for coming to our charity event.

I do have some bad news, however.

Our third and final bachelor will not be here...

on time, because he likes to make an entrance.

Everyone welcome Edmond Penbroke the Third.

[applause]

>> If I wasn't such a bitch I'd cry.

>> I knew you would come. I am so sorry.

>> Hallie, I realize I like the new Eddie

more than the old Eddie.

And even if you don't believe in me, somebody should,

and that somebody should be me. >> But I do!

I do believe in you, Eddie. >> Hallie, I need

to tell you something. >> We don't have time now.

You have to go on stage. Please, just go, go, go, go.

>> I want to return this. >> No, no, keep it.

It looks great. Just get up there.

>> No, Hallie... >> You got to get up there.

Go on, go, go. [applause]

Emcee >> And here he is, Edmond Penbroke the Third!

Multiple voices >> $15,000, $30,000, $40,000, $50,000,

$60,000, $70,000, $80,000, $90,000, $100,000...!

[music]

[rattle of diamonds]

Christine >> The jewelry!

Security >> Don't move! Get on your knees!

[music]

Don't move, sir. Eddie >> I'm really,

really sorry. I tried to tell you.

Emcee >> What do I do?

>> Hallie, you're fired!

[music]

[knock, knock, knock...]

>> Oh hi, Mr. Gottman. Hi.

>> Hallie, what you did was inappropriate, unorthodox

and downright deceptive. In 30 years of publishing,

I've never seen anything like it.

>> Yes, you already told me that, Mr. Gottman,

and I already agreed. >> But, it was brilliant!

>> That part you didn't say. >> When I told you to boost

circulation, I didn't expect 100 percent increase

in sales. >> Excuse me?

>> They're flying off the racks faster than we can deliver them.

Nothing like a good old scandal to sell magazines.

>> Or, put a good man behind bars.

>> Not any more. When I took the stand today,

I told the court the whole thing was a publicity stunt.

What could they do? Besides, the judge is an old

friend of mine from way back. Eddie was back on the street

by noon. >> Oh, Mr. Gottman!

Thank you so much! >> Any publicity is good

publicity indeed! Actually, I'm surprised our

friend Mr. Penbroke hasn't called you by now.

>> He hasn't spoken to me since he was arrested.

He thinks I was just doing all this to mess around

with his life. >> Ah.

Hallie...

I want you to come back to the magazine.

You've got what it takes to be Senior Editor,

and I want you to get right to work on your next

brilliant scandal.

>> Mr. Gottman, I'm flattered, I think.

But I don't need to get A's anymore.

>> I beg your pardon? >> I'm saying no, thank you.

I'm not coming back. >> Oh, nonsense.

>> Actually, it makes perfect sense.

I mean I have no idea what I'm going to do next,

but I'm damn sure it won't be what I was doing.

>> Okay, good luck.

>> Thank you.

>> Nice view.

[music]

>> Eddie, you got a delivery.

[music]

[hoof beats] [wagon rattles]

Driver >> Whoa.

Angelo's?

>> Yeah.

>> Get in.

Get in.

[music]

Let's go boy.

[music]

Whoa, boy.

That's for me.

And, uh... That's for you.

[music]

>> Will you hear me out?

Please?

Okay, yes, it started out as a stupid bet,

and for that I am sorry.

Then something happened.

Things changed.

I thought I was changing you.

You were changing me.

And I...

I made a list.

[paper rustles]

Money doesn't mean anything.

Success doesn't mean anything.

Manhattan Line doesn't mean anything.

None of it means anything if I'm not with you.

I miss you.

I want to be with you,

because I love you.

>> You know I hate lists.

[paper rips] Um-hum.

[music]

Driver >> Let's go boy. Come on.

Atta boy.
