Alex!

- You're humming!
- What is with you?

You hummed the entire
overture to Fiddler on the Roof.

I did not.

You did! You were
humming and "yidle-didling"

at the same time!

Look what you did, Alex! You
made me smudge my sketch.

Oh, I'm sorry, Mal.

Did the crayon go
outside the Smurf's hat?

For your information, Alex,

this is a sketch for my
advanced design class.

I've done a whole collection.
Do you want to see it?

No, Mal, I don't.

You obviously don't understand
how important clothes are.

If we didn't have clothes,
mister, we'd be naked.

And if we were naked, we'd
look pretty stupid wearing shoes.

You know, Mal, if you were to
spontaneously combust right now,

those would be some
pretty special last words.

- Oh, hello!
- Hey, how was the mall?

Oh, fun, fun. All the
clerks send their love.

They're so sweet.

Yeah, they-they
missed your mother,

but I explained she was
out of town on business,

and they took it very well.

I got some really hot
sweaters, Mal, and a belt.

Dad got attacked by women
in lab coats spraying cologne.

Didn't affect me
in the slightest.

I got it.

Hello. Yes.

Oh, hi.

Uh-huh... Yes...

Yes?

Yes, I'm... Yes.

Uh-huh. Yes.

Well, thank you.

Yeah, okay. Bye.

Yes.

Scarf sale at Lazarus?

I just got a job at David
Campbell Fashions.

They are the top fashion
design firm in Ohio!

Oh, honey, did we even
know you were up for this?

No, I didn't want you to know.

I mean, I didn't
think I had a chance.

They pick from the entire

Grant College
fashion department.

Whoa.

Now I know how you got the job.

Everybody else sewed
themselves together.

Oh, now I'm in fashion.

I mean, I really, really am!

Well, Mallory,
you're on your way.

Jennifer, you don't know.

It's such an honor
to be chosen for this.

You have to work long hours,

you have to be
on call at all times

and you don't get paid.

Sounds like your job, Dad.

"And so, Robin Hood and
Maid Marian, Friar Tuck

"and Little John went
back to Sherwood Forest.

"and lived happily ever after

"off the interest
they were earning

from Robin's
investment in junk bonds.

The end."

It's amazing.

Each time you hear
one of those classic tales,

you discover something new.

Alex can really tell a story.

This one was even better
than the one about Rapunzel

and her lucrative
hair salon franchise.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, what,
uh, what was this one about?

It was about Robin Hood;

how he stole from the
poor and gave to the rich.

No, no, that's-that's
not Robin Hood, Andy.

That's Ronald Reagan.

Well, there you go again, Dad.

Is that any way to
treat a lame duck?

I mean, what did Ronald
Reagan ever do to you?

He made a mockery of
everything I value and hold dear.

And that was just
during his acting career.

Come on, Andy,
I'll put you to bed.

Everyone, I want you
to meet Jamie Carter.

Alex, Alex...

she said "Jamie," not Jimmy.

You ought to get that changed.

That's not fair.

Jamie is a star designer
at David Campbell Fashions

where I'm gonna
be an apprentice.

- Oh, hi, hi.
- Hello.

I don't know if you
guys remember,

but in his Spring '87 collection

there was this incredible
mint chiffon split skirt

with a matching Jacquard bolero.

It was a Jamie.

See, Dad...

I told you that was a Jamie.

You said it was a Coco.

Pay up.

Come on, Alex.

Let's, uh, let's let these
fashioneers design away.

We can go out and
do something manly.

- Let's, uh, let's go shave.
- Yeah.

Come on.

I'm sorry.

Aw, that's okay.

I have a brother just
like that, so I'm used to it.

Anyway, I'm here to
formally welcome you

to David Campbell Fashions

and to answer any
questions you might have.

This is so exciting.

Well, it's not all that
glamorous, really.

It's a lot of menial work,

you know, cutting
fabric, basic sewing.

Oh, I can do that.

And also running errands

and making coffee.

No problem. I'm great at that.

Coffee, tea, cocoa, any
of the hot water beverages.

Um, also, Jamie,

I-I have these
designs I did for school

and I'd really love to
hear what you have to say.

Oh, Mallory...
these are very good.

Especially for someone
with so little training.

You really have a lot
of talent in this area.

I've-I've done a
whole line. It's called

"Dress For Your
Fear Of Success."

- Hmm...
- Huh?

It's for the young
businesswoman.

Okay? These clothes
say, "Yes, I'm competent.

"Yes, I'm making
a bold statement.

Yes, I'm a woman.
Can I help you?"

I also have this idea to
design something where,

if your panty line is
showing, a little bell goes off.

Uh, oh, and also, if you
accidentally tuck your skirt

into your panty hose,
you get an electric shock.

When we're finished here,
do you want to go to lunch?

Oh, yeah, that'd be great.

Jamie, this has been the
most exciting week of my life.

I mean, I cannot
believe I got to see

the new David Campbell fashions

before anybody
else at my school.

You said this wasn't
glamorous, but it really is.

Oh, my God.

Oh, here.

Oh, my God, it's David Campbell,

and I'm sewn to a dummy.

Oh, Jamie?

Oh, David, let me introduce you.

This is Mallory Keaton,
our new apprentice.

Hi.

I love your hair.

Jamie, I love your new designs.

It's been quite a while

since we've seen
anything new from you.

Yeah, well, thanks.

It just kind of came to me.

Well, I think we should
share them with everyone.

Everybody, please.

Now? No, no, you don't have to.

Don't be silly.

Yvette's going to model.

I didn't know you had
done some new designs.

You're so modest.

No, I'm really not.

No, you are.

I mean, all this time you've
been doing these designs,

and you still had time to show
a new apprentice the ropes?

Isn't this exciting?

Bone-chilling.

This is Jamie's latest creation.

Very nice.

Dress for your fear of success.

This design allows the
young professional woman

to assert herself,

yet keep every bit
of her femininity.

It's beautiful.

Thank you.

I go now.

I want that in tomorrow's show.

You've done it again, kid.

It's over, Alex.

It's not over, Jen.

It's not over until
the fat bishop sings.

Well, tell him to
start warbling, pal,

because you're
looking at checkmate.

Jen, look out behind you!

Nice try, Alex.

Jen, I'm serious!

Jen, it's a monster!

Jen, it's a beast.

It's a giant furry creature!

Jen, I mean it!

What do you think I
am, still six years old?

I'm gonna turn around,

you're gonna knock
the pieces off the board?

No.

Jen... it's hideous.

Jen! No, monster,
don't touch her!

Leave her alone!

She's my sister! I love her!

Aah!

Oops.

You're seriously ill.

You know that, don't you?

That may be true, but
I'm also undefeated.

Hey, Mal. Where you been?

You guys are not
gonna believe this.

I'm so confused.

Just generally, or is
this something specific?

Why? What happened?

Jamie Carter, she stole
the designs I did for school.

Wait, she did what?

She took my designs

and she presented them to
David Campbell as her own.

David loved them.

They're gonna be in the
new collection tomorrow.

Well, that's awful, Mallory.

What are you gonna do?

I don't know.

What do you mean,
you don't know?

You're gonna go in there,

you're gonna tell
him what she did.

I don't think I could bring
myself to do that, Alex.

It's just not me.

Are you saying you're
just gonna do nothing,

just chalk it up as a
learning experience?

I guess so.

Is it possible maybe just once

a learning experience
could be fun?

What about calling Mom?

She'll know what to do.

No, I want to handle
this on my own.

So don't tell Dad either, okay?

I can't believe this.

My first experience
in the fashion world,

and look what happens.

I mean, is it always
like this, Alex?

Is this what the
business world is like?

Lying, stealing,
cheating, corruption?

If it's done right, yeah.

Then I can't compete.

- I can't live my life like this.
- No, Mal, I'm kidding.

Mal, I'm kidding.

No, it should be tough.

It should be competitive,
but-but it should also be fair.

I mean, lying and stealing
should not be a part of it.

You know, I just have to believe
this is gonna come back to her.

You know, her
karma will get her.

Yeah, there's something
we can hang our hat on.

Her karma will get her.

Come on.

It's pretty much a fact, Alex.

I mean, whatever
you put out there,

it comes right back at you.

Get out of here.

No, it's a never-ending
cycle of cosmic retaliation.

Come on.

It's true.

If you're mean or
petty or vengeful,

that type of energy
flows out around you,

and into the universe
that you inhabit.

If you're negative or selfish,

concerned only about
yourself and your own feelings,

soon that negativity
will envelop you

and become the very
air that you breathe.

I'm doomed.

It's packed out there;
everybody ready?

- Yeah, I'm ready.
- Yeah.

Joe, you work with Renee.

Jamie, you work
with, uh, Mallory.

- But I really...
- You have a problem with that?

- No. Not at all.
- Good.

Do you have a problem with that?

No, I'm fine.

Okay, everybody, let's go.

No, whoa, whoa, wait a
minute. That's not the way it goes.

No, Mallory, leave
it, I like it that way.

No, it's wrong.

Mallory, you are the apprentice.

I think I know a little
something about this design.

Jamie, it's bunching up in back.

It looks fine.

No, I'm telling
you, it's bunchy.

And I'm telling you it's fine.

Now, Yvette, is it possible

for you to stop
complaining just once?

Say it, don't spray it.

Hi. I'm...

I'm sorry, I didn't know
you were getting breast.

Dressed. I'm s...

Alex... Alex, what
are you doing here?

I, um, just... I came by
to wish you luck, Mal.

Oh, good luck,
honey. I just wanted...

No, no, no, this
is totally wrong.

Who did you? Who did him?

No, I'm s... Thank
you, thank you.

Did you, uh, did
you confront her?

Alex, I can handle
it myself, okay?

No, you're not handling it, Mal.

I know you. You're...
you're too soft.

You're too forgiving, you know?

You're too good
for your own good.

Ouch, man!

I am not a pincushion, you know.

Look, Alex, I
appreciate your concern,

but I have a lot
of work to do here.

Yeah, I just don't like to
see you taken advantage of.

They love me.

Will someone stop Dad
before he goes around again?

Dad, what are you doing?

Mal, Mal, I never really
knew what you saw

in the fashion world, but
now that I've had a taste of it,

I'm hooked.

It's great, Mal.

Well, I'm gonna go out and
watch the rest of the show.

Okay, yeah, yeah.

Hey, Dad...

I hate my hair.

Jamie, I love this suit more
and more every time I see it.

Thank you.

It will be the hit
of the new season.

I think it's the best
work you've ever done.

Mallory, grab that box
of bracelets, please.

I need those bracelets.

I can't believe this.

That is my outfit.

I made that jacket,
it took me months.

How can you stand here and
smile and take the credit for it?

You really don't understand

the business world,
do you, Mallory?

No, I don't, Jamie.

Why don't you explain it to me?

Explain how someone
can pretend to be your friend

and pretend to like you,

and then turn around
and stab you in the back.

Why did you do this to me?

Because I'm no good anymore.

What?

I'm just burnt out, okay?

The ideas are gone,
and if I didn't come up

with something soon, I
was gonna be gone, too.

What are you talking about?

You've been the star
designer here for five years.

Oh, let me tell you something.

In this business, you are only
as good as your last design.

But that doesn't
give you any right...

You don't know
what it's like for me.

I sit in front of that drawing
board night after night,

waiting for the ideas to
come and nothing happens.

I-I look at my old drawings,
and I have to ask myself,

"Why can't I do this anymore?"

Let's just get this over with.

- Uh, David?
- Yes?

Uh, Mallory has something
she wants to say to you.

Yes, Mallory, what is it?

Um... uh...

I-I just wanted I-I-I really
appreciate this opportunity.

It's really been great.

Thank you. It's nice
having you here.

You know, this
would be much easier

if you would just hate me.

It'd be easier for me, too,
but I can't do that, okay?

If it's any consolation,
my brother hates you.

That's it, people.

- The show's over.
- Good.

Okay, everyone, let's
take a bow, huh? Come on.

Yeah.

What a night.

Yeah, you were the
hit of the show, Dad.

Just glad none of my peers
were there to witness it.

Why didn't you let me in on
what was happening, Mal?

Well, I wanted to
handle it myself, Dad.

I mean, you're a parent,

and you always want
to make it all better.

And you usually do.

But I wanted to make
it all better by myself.

Well, you handled yourself
tonight with grace and dignity.

I wish I could say the
same thing for you, Dad.

You know, I guess this is
mostly my fault for being so naive.

I mean, I've always
looked at the world

through rose-tinted glasses
in expensive Italian frames.

I gotta stop doing that.

Whoa, Mal, no, you don't.

You don't, okay?

You go through life trusting

and always believing that
the best is gonna happen.

You can't give that up.

You're helping, nurturing,
reaching out to people.

That's what life
is all about, Mal.

Whoa, where am I?

I should have said something.

I mean, doesn't this
make me kind of a...

I don't know, a pansy?

Oh, no, no, no...
Listen, not at all.

If anything, it gives you
strength of character.

No, not a pansy.

More like... a rhododendron.

- I'm proud of you, Mal.
- Thanks.

So, kids, what do you say?

Should I go into
modeling professionally?

You do that, and
I'm transferring

to a high school in China.

That color's all wrong for you.

Hey, Mal, you doing okay?

I don't know, Alex.

I'm so disappointed.

I mean, I never thought

the fashion world
would be like this.

I had this, I had this vision

of, of, of what
it would be like.

That it'd be a bunch of
designers, all working together,

creating beautiful clothes.

Then people would
pop their heads into

other people's offices and say,
"Does this need a raglan sleeve

or a dolman sleeve
or a kimono sleeve?"

And I'd say,

"No, a regular set-in
drop sleeve will be fine."

And then we'd all
laugh and go to lunch.

Yeah, that'd be great, Mal.

Course, there's a fine line

between what you're describing
and a mental institution.

Mal, you're good, you know?

Your-your designs were
the best in the show.

Nobody can take
that away from you.

Thanks.

Oh, it's Jamie.

All right, well,
good night, Mal.

Good night.

And, uh, Mal, count the
silverware when she leaves.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Can I come in?
- Sure.

What are you doing here?

I mean, it seemed to me that
there was nothing more to say.

Oh, yes, there is.

I told David.

You told him? Why?

Because I couldn't
live with myself.

How could I do that
to someone like you?

How could I do that at all?

You don't need to steal, Jamie.

I mean, I've seen your
work... It's incredible.

Maybe you're in
a slump right now,

but you'll come out of it.

You know, when I
saw your sketches,

they were so wonderful.

They were so alive
and fresh and...

They reminded me
of what I was once.

I think I almost convinced
myself they were mine.

I-I'm so sorry, Mallory.

Can you forgive me?

Yeah, I can forgive you.

'Cause you know, I was thinking.

If my designs were good enough
for someone like you to steal,

then they're good enough
for someone to buy.

And maybe I really
do have what it takes.

You definitely do.

You know, I told David
about your other sketches,

how good they are...

And he wants to meet with you.

- Really?
- Uh-huh.

That's great. Thanks.

Mallory, you're
really gonna go far.

Maybe, one day, you can
even give me some pointers.

Oh, you know, I have
one of your skirts.

And to tell you the
truth, in the back,

it's a little bunchy.

Sit, Ubu, sit. Good dog.
