Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:23,107 --> 00:00:25,609
We are all Cinderella.
2
00:00:25,776 --> 00:00:27,757
No matter what our size.
3
00:00:27,861 --> 00:00:32,137
Within each one of us
there is a unique beauty and grace.
4
00:00:32,762 --> 00:00:35,890
Finding that beauty, however, isn't easy.
5
00:00:37,037 --> 00:00:41,312
See, Cinderella had to first recognize
that her problem wasn't her evil stepmother.
6
00:00:41,521 --> 00:00:45,275
Her problem was that it was easier
to hide out, cleaning the house
7
00:00:45,379 --> 00:00:47,569
than it was to go out
and find happiness.
8
00:00:48,611 --> 00:00:51,010
She needed a fairy godmother
9
00:00:51,114 --> 00:00:53,929
to empower her with the kind
of self confidence it takes
10
00:00:54,033 --> 00:00:58,517
to reject the insecurity brought
on by unrealistic, overachieving,
11
00:00:58,621 --> 00:01:01,437
airbrushed, anorexic
princess images in the media.
12
00:01:28,339 --> 00:01:32,614
It took some very large
ovaries for Cinderella
13
00:01:32,718 --> 00:01:35,408
to make a change
to trade in her scrub brush
14
00:01:35,637 --> 00:01:38,140
for a fabulous pair
of dancing shoes.
15
00:01:39,808 --> 00:01:44,292
But boy, was it worth it.
16
00:02:13,488 --> 00:02:15,677
I'm gonna be so late.
17
00:02:23,185 --> 00:02:27,564
No! I'm so late! Not today!
18
00:02:28,399 --> 00:04:51,875
You okay?
19
00:02:28,607 --> 00:02:34,863
Yeah. It's Pumpkin, my car...
Broke down. Thank you.
20
00:02:35,072 --> 00:02:36,636
You named your car "Pumpkin"?
21
00:02:37,053 --> 00:02:43,726
Yeah, she's a 65 Mustang restored.
You know, kind of a
22
00:02:43,768 --> 00:02:47,689
pumpkin-into-a-coach
kind of thing.
23
00:02:47,793 --> 00:02:50,504
I'm at Shine. Do you work here?
24
00:02:50,921 --> 00:02:53,006
It's just part-time. You?
25
00:02:53,048 --> 00:02:58,324
Yeah. Until I get fired
for being late to a meeting!
26
00:02:58,429 --> 00:02:59,263
Thank you!
27
00:03:02,495 --> 00:03:04,685
Joy, I'm late.
28
00:03:05,206 --> 00:03:07,813
The meeting's already started.
Lori's having a stroke.
29
00:03:07,917 --> 00:03:08,751
Oh, my God.
30
00:03:09,690 --> 00:03:11,567
Nice of you to join us
this morning.
31
00:03:12,505 --> 00:03:16,259
Lori, my car died and...
32
00:03:17,927 --> 00:03:23,975
So, Nancy, tell me.
Can they sue us?
33
00:03:24,079 --> 00:03:27,207
People can sue for anything.
It's my job to stop them.
34
00:03:27,249 --> 00:03:29,918
But let's be careful,
the names we throw around
35
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,525
when we write an article
about "celebrity cougars".
36
00:03:32,629 --> 00:03:36,696
She should be flattered.
Okay, people, other ideas.
37
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:37,947
Forty is the new twenty.
38
00:03:37,989 --> 00:03:38,990
Foisty foreplay tips.
39
00:03:39,032 --> 00:03:41,075
Feel great naked workout.
40
00:03:41,180 --> 00:03:42,222
Nola!
41
00:03:43,161 --> 00:03:45,767
We were talking
about ideas for November.
42
00:03:46,185 --> 00:03:46,602
Yeah.
43
00:03:46,643 --> 00:03:50,043
Come up with something that ties Belinda
Apple's book and her November column?
44
00:03:51,711 --> 00:03:53,901
What book?
45
00:03:55,152 --> 00:03:56,799
For those among you
who couldn't bother
46
00:03:56,841 --> 00:04:00,053
to get here on time, Nola Devlin,
I'll repeat myself.
47
00:04:00,157 --> 00:04:03,181
Stanson Publishing which
owns Shine and therefore me,
48
00:04:03,222 --> 00:04:05,892
wants to publish a book
of Belinda Apple's columns.
49
00:04:05,933 --> 00:04:08,916
"Apple gets to the core",
sort of a best-of self help book.
50
00:04:08,957 --> 00:04:11,314
Belinda never mentioned
a book to me.
51
00:04:11,356 --> 00:04:13,504
You edit her column.
You're not her best friend.
52
00:04:13,545 --> 00:04:15,797
I will be writing
the foreword to the book.
53
00:04:15,839 --> 00:04:16,736
You?
54
00:04:16,778 --> 00:04:18,509
You have a problem with that?
55
00:04:18,550 --> 00:04:23,409
No. I just thought
since I edit her column I...
56
00:04:23,451 --> 00:04:25,912
And this matters to me
because...
57
00:04:26,016 --> 00:04:27,267
Precisely.
58
00:04:27,476 --> 00:04:29,248
I'll need the next column myself.
59
00:04:29,353 --> 00:04:31,542
And for God sakes,
clean yourself up.
60
00:04:33,941 --> 00:04:36,443
You should totally be writing
that intro. You know...
61
00:04:36,485 --> 00:04:40,614
You know Belinda better than
anyone and you're an amazing writer.
62
00:04:40,718 --> 00:04:41,240
Thanks.
63
00:04:41,448 --> 00:04:44,472
It's okay. It's really
exciting about the book.
64
00:04:44,514 --> 00:04:46,453
Yeah, for Belinda.
65
00:04:46,495 --> 00:04:48,017
Devlin!
66
00:04:48,747 --> 00:04:51,562
Lunch? Saturday?
You, me and Deb?
67
00:04:52,918 --> 00:04:54,795
I need everything you have
on Belinda Apple.
68
00:04:54,795 --> 00:04:57,506
Her life growing up in England,
education, childhood photos,
69
00:04:57,548 --> 00:05:00,008
articles she wrote for
"Go Fab" magazine before.
70
00:05:00,050 --> 00:05:02,719
Well, I don't have any of that.
71
00:05:02,761 --> 00:05:05,743
Idea. Wait! Call her!
72
00:05:07,099 --> 00:05:10,519
Right. Or I could do a sort of
73
00:05:10,561 --> 00:05:13,876
rough draft of the foreword
for you and then you...
74
00:05:13,918 --> 00:05:17,317
I'm sure your knickers are in a knot
about this but look at you.
75
00:05:17,526 --> 00:05:21,280
No offense but you're
sugar-encrusted nobody.
76
00:05:21,321 --> 00:05:22,844
Do you really think Stanson
77
00:05:22,885 --> 00:05:25,242
wants you to write the foreword
to a book by its biggest star?
78
00:05:26,910 --> 00:05:29,413
- No?
- No. "No" is right.
79
00:05:29,517 --> 00:05:31,185
Then get me what I need.
80
00:05:31,227 --> 00:05:32,332
Go!
81
00:05:38,693 --> 00:05:41,091
Sorry to hear about your car.
82
00:05:41,300 --> 00:05:42,029
That's okay.
83
00:05:42,551 --> 00:05:46,096
But Chip, the new computer guy
is working today and he lives near you
84
00:05:46,138 --> 00:05:48,390
so he could give you
a ride home if you want.
85
00:05:48,807 --> 00:05:50,580
Chip, like "computer chip"?
86
00:05:52,769 --> 00:05:56,315
Anyway, shall I get him to meet you
in the parking lot at six?
87
00:05:56,315 --> 00:05:59,860
Sure. Yes. Thank you.
That would be great.
88
00:06:01,215 --> 00:06:02,154
Okay -Okay
89
00:06:06,325 --> 00:06:08,723
Oh, yeah. It's all limo
rides for you, isn't it?
90
00:06:08,775 --> 00:06:12,581
Me, I get to take a ride home
with the geek squad.
91
00:06:21,757 --> 00:06:24,259
He is computer chip? Oh!
92
00:06:27,387 --> 00:06:29,160
Hey, Hi!
93
00:06:30,307 --> 00:06:36,146
You probably don't recognize me standing
upright but this really is my better side.
94
00:06:37,084 --> 00:06:40,838
I'm Nola Devlin.
You are computer Chip, right?
95
00:06:40,942 --> 00:06:42,194
Is that a joke?
96
00:06:42,611 --> 00:06:47,303
Apparently not a very good one.
Thank you for waiting for me.
97
00:06:47,345 --> 00:06:50,118
Joy told me you live
near me on the north-end
98
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,455
so I really appreciate...
the ride.
99
00:06:53,872 --> 00:06:56,375
You did offer
to give a ride, didn't you?
100
00:06:56,416 --> 00:06:58,981
Well, I'd be happy
to give you a ride.
101
00:06:59,086 --> 00:06:59,711
Oh, yes.
102
00:06:59,815 --> 00:07:01,797
You edit Belinda Apple's column.
103
00:07:01,901 --> 00:07:02,839
Yeah.
104
00:07:05,238 --> 00:07:07,949
So, did you end up getting fired?
105
00:07:08,470 --> 00:07:10,868
No, not yet. But I am sure
that that's in the works.
106
00:07:12,328 --> 00:07:13,371
Bad day?
107
00:07:15,873 --> 00:07:19,523
When I was in the 6th grade a boy
asked me to a Halloween party.
108
00:07:20,148 --> 00:07:23,276
I went as a cheeseburger because
that's the only costume that fit.
109
00:07:23,318 --> 00:07:27,510
Well. When I got there I found out
that you were supposed to be dressed
110
00:07:27,552 --> 00:07:29,741
as what you wanted
to be when you grew up.
111
00:07:30,471 --> 00:07:33,912
Yeah. Today was worse.
I don't wanna talk about it.
112
00:07:35,059 --> 00:07:37,040
And my car, the one that died...
113
00:07:37,666 --> 00:07:40,168
My dad bought me that car
for my 16th birthday.
114
00:07:40,064 --> 00:07:42,045
You know, I mean...
That car took me to college.
115
00:07:42,087 --> 00:07:46,633
I was to the Jersey Shore in that car. That
cat took me to Boston to see Cold Play.
116
00:07:47,050 --> 00:07:49,553
I made out with Ronnie Spilman
in that car.
117
00:07:49,657 --> 00:07:51,221
That car defines me.
118
00:07:52,368 --> 00:07:54,453
Defined you. Past tense.
119
00:07:54,662 --> 00:07:56,435
Hey, look. You know, change is good.
120
00:07:56,539 --> 00:07:58,937
Old car dies.
New car could be better.
121
00:07:58,979 --> 00:08:01,857
What about a... Porsche.
122
00:08:02,378 --> 00:08:04,463
That is my back-up fantasy car.
123
00:08:04,568 --> 00:08:05,819
Back-up fantasy?
124
00:08:06,132 --> 00:08:10,928
Well, my fantasy-fantasy car
s a powder-blue 55 Thunderbird.
125
00:08:10,970 --> 00:08:14,890
I mean, if I had to break the bank,
that would be my sledgehammer.
126
00:08:14,932 --> 00:08:15,933
Now you're talking.
127
00:08:16,392 --> 00:08:21,460
Now I'm dellucinating.
Can't afford that car on my salary.
128
00:08:22,085 --> 00:08:24,588
Don't let work get in the way of your dream.
I speak from my experience.
129
00:08:24,629 --> 00:08:28,341
I am all about the dream and
so not about the job.
130
00:08:29,176 --> 00:08:31,365
Girls like me
don't drive cars like that.
131
00:08:31,407 --> 00:08:34,598
- Says who?
- My low self-esteem.
132
00:08:37,204 --> 00:08:40,103
Well, maybe it's time for you
to grow up,
133
00:08:40,145 --> 00:08:43,044
take charge of your life
and be all that you can be.
134
00:08:45,338 --> 00:08:46,276
Oh, okay.
135
00:08:46,318 --> 00:08:49,925
It's the advice
my father gives me.
136
00:08:50,030 --> 00:08:52,532
But hey, listen, if the whole
dream thing doesn't work for you,
137
00:08:52,574 --> 00:08:55,035
you can always do as he tells me
and demand change.
138
00:08:56,495 --> 00:08:57,850
This one. Right here.
139
00:08:57,892 --> 00:08:59,727
- Right there?
- Yeah.
140
00:09:03,794 --> 00:09:07,026
Thank you for the ride.
It was very nice of you.
141
00:09:08,590 --> 00:09:09,945
Can I offer you anything for gas?
142
00:09:11,301 --> 00:09:12,448
No. I'm cool.
143
00:09:13,491 --> 00:09:14,429
All right.
144
00:09:16,202 --> 00:09:18,391
It's probably none of my business but...
145
00:09:19,851 --> 00:09:23,501
I think your father is wrong. I don't
think you can demand change from people.
146
00:09:23,542 --> 00:09:27,567
I think you have to... inspire it.
You know?
147
00:09:28,923 --> 00:09:30,383
Yeah.
148
00:09:37,577 --> 00:09:39,871
All right.
Let's see what we got.
149
00:09:40,288 --> 00:09:41,644
You ready?
150
00:09:45,502 --> 00:09:52,279
Dear Belinda.
This is my life. Or non-life.
151
00:09:52,279 --> 00:09:54,678
I am a plus-sized woman
in her thirties
152
00:09:54,719 --> 00:09:57,284
with a cat in a pastel
colored apartment.
153
00:09:57,326 --> 00:10:02,602
Could I be any more of a stereotype?
154
00:10:03,019 --> 00:10:04,896
I'm under-appreciated at work.
155
00:10:04,938 --> 00:10:07,190
And the only physical contact
I get is from my cat.
156
00:10:07,816 --> 00:10:10,402
Am I hopeless?
Can I get out of this rut?
157
00:10:10,443 --> 00:10:13,029
Or should I just buy another cat?
158
00:10:13,655 --> 00:10:17,513
Signed "Lifeless in Los Angeles".
159
00:10:20,641 --> 00:10:24,291
All right, Belinda. What do you got?
160
00:10:25,333 --> 00:10:27,732
Dear Lifeless,
161
00:10:27,836 --> 00:10:34,092
Your cat must be tired of the pity party
you've been throwing yourself everyday.
162
00:10:34,613 --> 00:10:39,514
Maybe if you didn't put yourself down
so much you wouldn't be so pathetic.
163
00:10:39,556 --> 00:10:42,121
You want a life? Get one.
164
00:10:43,164 --> 00:10:52,444
Grant yourself a wish to change,
then stop complaining and do something.
165
00:10:56,197 --> 00:10:57,762
Yeah, I did something.
166
00:11:00,785 --> 00:11:01,515
What?
167
00:11:02,975 --> 00:11:05,165
Hi, Lori.
168
00:11:07,146 --> 00:11:09,127
Lori,
169
00:11:10,587 --> 00:11:14,090
you know how you said Shine
needs to distinguish itself
170
00:11:14,132 --> 00:11:17,260
by adding an advice columnist
to address issues facing women today?
171
00:11:17,677 --> 00:11:19,763
I said I wanted a columnist
to answer all the dimwits
172
00:11:19,804 --> 00:11:22,057
who ask embarrassing questions
about their sex lives.
173
00:11:23,934 --> 00:11:26,957
Well, I answered
your sample questions
174
00:11:26,999 --> 00:11:32,171
for the advice columnist in what
I believe is a biting and edgy way.
175
00:11:34,986 --> 00:11:37,072
Oh, you're serious.
176
00:11:37,489 --> 00:11:39,261
I wanna write...
177
00:11:39,678 --> 00:11:41,347
So, write.
178
00:11:41,868 --> 00:11:45,413
here. Lori, I wanna write here.
179
00:11:45,830 --> 00:11:50,731
Listen, I've been an assistant editor for
over a year. And before I came to Shine I wrote
180
00:11:50,773 --> 00:11:53,859
articles for my college paper.
Good stuff. I can do this.
181
00:11:53,901 --> 00:11:55,632
It's good to dream big.
182
00:11:56,779 --> 00:11:58,343
Thank you.
183
00:12:01,262 --> 00:12:06,163
Being a columnist is a very important,
very public position.
184
00:12:06,205 --> 00:12:09,604
It's the face of the magazine.
185
00:12:09,646 --> 00:12:10,751
Right.
186
00:12:11,168 --> 00:12:13,045
You're not a face.
187
00:12:14,088 --> 00:12:17,007
You are just a big girl
with a big dream.
188
00:12:18,154 --> 00:12:19,406
Nice try, though.
189
00:12:33,378 --> 00:12:37,444
She wants a face.
I'll give her a face.
190
00:12:38,383 --> 00:12:38,904
Bing!
191
00:12:50,478 --> 00:12:52,147
I'm hot.
192
00:13:08,830 --> 00:13:09,873
Hi, Lori.
193
00:13:09,977 --> 00:13:11,437
What's wrong with Belinda?
194
00:13:12,479 --> 00:13:13,418
What do you mean?
195
00:13:13,522 --> 00:13:15,712
I can't get her on the phone
to discuss the book.
196
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,527
If she doesn't call me back I'm
going to have to fly to London tomorrow.
197
00:13:18,569 --> 00:13:20,300
Is that really necessary?
198
00:13:20,717 --> 00:13:24,471
This book is a huge deal. It will launch
a new division for the company.
199
00:13:24,888 --> 00:13:26,556
They're dumping a load of
money into promoting it.
200
00:13:26,660 --> 00:13:29,684
Book tour, TV, Oprah...
Belinda will be everywhere.
201
00:13:30,101 --> 00:13:30,831
In person?
202
00:13:30,873 --> 00:13:33,334
That's why they call them
"personal appearances".
203
00:13:33,375 --> 00:13:35,628
I'm gonna try to conference her in.
Hold on.
204
00:13:35,732 --> 00:13:36,983
No, wait!
205
00:13:39,903 --> 00:13:41,884
- What's that?
- Nothing.
206
00:13:42,197 --> 00:13:43,031
Hello!
207
00:13:43,073 --> 00:13:48,453
Belinda... Belinda, finally.
Hi. It's Lori and Nola.
208
00:13:48,661 --> 00:13:51,581
Hello, Lori. Hello Nola.
I'm actually just headed...
209
00:13:51,998 --> 00:13:53,249
At two in the morning?
210
00:13:52,728 --> 00:13:54,188
Yes... in. Just headed in.
211
00:13:54,813 --> 00:13:56,690
- Nola?
- Yeah!
212
00:13:56,899 --> 00:13:59,297
Do you wanna tell her
about our promotional plans?
213
00:14:00,235 --> 00:14:01,800
Is this about the book?
214
00:14:03,364 --> 00:14:08,473
Yes, it is, actually, Belinda.
They want you to come out here.
215
00:14:09,307 --> 00:14:11,288
Well, that's impossible.
I'm in London.
216
00:14:12,018 --> 00:14:13,895
So, it's a good thing
we have planes.
217
00:14:14,729 --> 00:14:17,962
Yes, isn't it?
You know, I don't think I can make it.
218
00:14:18,003 --> 00:14:19,421
You don't even know when it is.
219
00:14:19,734 --> 00:14:21,715
- Oh, when is it?
- End of October.
220
00:14:21,820 --> 00:14:22,654
Definitely can't make it.
221
00:14:22,695 --> 00:14:24,948
Yeah, she's going to... Africa.
222
00:14:25,365 --> 00:14:25,886
How do you know?
223
00:14:25,928 --> 00:14:27,450
Yes! Africa!
224
00:14:27,867 --> 00:14:32,768
Nola and I have been planning
this trip for ages. It's for a charity...
225
00:14:33,081 --> 00:14:34,228
for children.
226
00:14:34,332 --> 00:14:37,043
Did I mention this is launching
a whole new book division?
227
00:14:37,085 --> 00:14:40,797
Goodness! Gracious me! It's two o'clock
in the morning here. I've got to go to bed.
228
00:14:40,839 --> 00:14:42,465
You two work it out.
I'll talk to you later. Bye!
229
00:14:44,759 --> 00:14:50,285
- Nola, are you still there?
- Yeah, hey.
230
00:14:50,327 --> 00:14:52,892
Do you think I give a rat's ass about
her vacation plans?
231
00:14:52,934 --> 00:14:55,290
You better make sure
she's here by October 30th.
232
00:14:56,020 --> 00:14:56,646
Or?
233
00:14:56,688 --> 00:14:59,305
Or you're fired.
You recommended her.
234
00:14:59,347 --> 00:15:01,964
I don't care
if she's boosted circulation 50%.
235
00:15:02,006 --> 00:15:04,466
If she blows this for me
I will destroy her.
236
00:15:04,571 --> 00:15:05,718
And you.
237
00:15:06,656 --> 00:15:07,386
Have a good night!
238
00:15:09,784 --> 00:15:11,244
I'm screwed.
239
00:15:13,955 --> 00:15:16,666
Could we get that table by the window?
That's our favorite spot.
240
00:15:16,708 --> 00:15:18,439
Oh, I'm really sorry.
That table's reserved.
241
00:15:19,377 --> 00:15:21,671
Oh, really! I didn't know that
you could reserve tables.
242
00:15:22,818 --> 00:15:24,278
We can now.
We're under new management.
243
00:15:24,903 --> 00:15:27,197
Chester... is it?
244
00:15:27,239 --> 00:15:30,013
Well, this is Nola Devlin.
She edits Belinda Apple's column
245
00:15:30,054 --> 00:15:32,307
which I'm sure everyone
in America has read.
246
00:15:34,184 --> 00:15:38,563
It's just that, you know, the first Saturday
of every month we sit at that table.
247
00:15:38,605 --> 00:15:40,544
And this Saturday it's reserved.
248
00:15:42,004 --> 00:15:43,359
Oh, God, here we go.
249
00:15:44,089 --> 00:15:46,279
You wouldn't, by any chance,
not be giving us that table
250
00:15:46,696 --> 00:15:48,052
because we are
on the zaftig side. Would you?
251
00:15:48,093 --> 00:15:49,616
I don't know what you mean.
252
00:15:49,657 --> 00:15:50,867
Because we're fat.
253
00:15:52,431 --> 00:15:53,474
Would you like to order?
254
00:15:53,515 --> 00:15:57,540
Yes. We'd like
the table by the window.
255
00:15:57,582 --> 00:16:02,232
Ladies, if you're not happy with the service here
there are a number of other restaurants in Princeton.
256
00:16:04,526 --> 00:16:07,133
Zaftig? What are we?
Russian peasant women?
257
00:16:07,550 --> 00:16:08,801
This is fat discrimination.
258
00:16:08,843 --> 00:16:10,470
Sorry!
259
00:16:17,352 --> 00:16:20,793
I wish I had a magic wand so
I could instantly make us thin.
260
00:16:20,834 --> 00:16:25,172
Like Cinderella. Except instead of a
ball gown we'd get hip bones and a waist.
261
00:16:25,214 --> 00:16:27,883
Sorry, my magic wand
is in the repair shop.
262
00:16:27,925 --> 00:16:31,324
Maybe it's time
for a fairy godmother.
263
00:16:31,366 --> 00:16:32,992
Don't do it. Don't pull her out.
264
00:16:33,034 --> 00:16:36,120
Belinda Apple represents
the woman I would be if I could
265
00:16:36,162 --> 00:16:39,457
reclaim my power and
get out on my own way.
266
00:16:39,666 --> 00:16:41,125
We all need to do that.
267
00:16:41,167 --> 00:16:43,065
If Belinda is so great
at giving advice
268
00:16:43,107 --> 00:16:45,400
then how come Nola works
for her and she's still such a mess?
269
00:16:45,505 --> 00:16:46,547
Hey!
270
00:16:46,652 --> 00:16:50,405
Honey, you're a fantastic writer
but you're editing someone else's work.
271
00:16:50,447 --> 00:16:52,908
You're a wonderful woman but
there are no men in your life.
272
00:16:52,950 --> 00:16:55,306
And that pizza delivery guy...
not Prince Charming.
273
00:16:56,140 --> 00:16:57,079
Come on now, listen.
274
00:16:57,392 --> 00:16:58,747
Dear fabulous Belinda,
275
00:16:58,789 --> 00:17:01,771
I'm tired of being overweight,
bla bla bla,
276
00:17:01,813 --> 00:17:05,525
I've dieted my whole life,
and now I'm almost 250 pounds.
277
00:17:05,942 --> 00:17:06,463
What should I do?
278
00:17:06,567 --> 00:17:10,113
Two fifty! Wow! She should
stop weighting herself.
279
00:17:10,947 --> 00:17:12,511
Dear sexy underneath it all.
280
00:17:12,553 --> 00:17:16,577
I will let you in on my deepest,
darkest secret.
281
00:17:16,619 --> 00:17:22,208
I used to be desperately overweight.
Finally I couldn't stand it any more.
282
00:17:22,625 --> 00:17:25,649
I had to take control of my life.
Was it hard? Yes. How did I do it?
283
00:17:25,691 --> 00:17:29,090
By reclaiming my power,
getting out on my own way,
284
00:17:29,132 --> 00:17:32,844
by finding a symbol to remind myself
of the person I knew I was inside
285
00:17:32,885 --> 00:17:35,346
and by being honest with myself.
286
00:17:37,849 --> 00:17:40,143
There's no way
that woman was ever fat.
287
00:17:42,854 --> 00:17:45,252
Let's say we follow
Belinda's example and just do it.
288
00:17:46,295 --> 00:17:49,527
No, I can't, you guys. I have
way too much on my plate right now.
289
00:17:49,569 --> 00:17:51,508
You're just scared of change.
290
00:17:51,550 --> 00:17:53,489
I like my life.
I have a good job,
291
00:17:53,594 --> 00:17:56,617
a husband who loves me with whom I
have sex once a month. Why should I change?
292
00:17:57,035 --> 00:17:57,973
But, are you happy?
293
00:17:58,015 --> 00:18:01,413
I mean, completely, utterly,
every moment happy.
294
00:18:02,769 --> 00:18:04,959
I'm not. I mean...
295
00:18:05,376 --> 00:18:08,609
Paul loves me
but I don't love me.
296
00:18:10,173 --> 00:18:14,344
Every spring we take the kids
to Paul's parents in Seattle.
297
00:18:14,865 --> 00:18:17,576
Kids want to go some place warm
but we don't because they know
298
00:18:17,618 --> 00:18:20,495
I would never step foot
on a beach on a bathing suit.
299
00:18:21,851 --> 00:18:25,083
I just wanna be with my family
doing normal family things.
300
00:18:26,230 --> 00:18:27,586
Oh, come on, don't cry.
301
00:18:29,046 --> 00:18:32,799
Let's do it. Let's do
what Belinda said
302
00:18:32,841 --> 00:18:35,719
and let's become the women
we know we are inside.
303
00:18:36,657 --> 00:18:38,430
You really believe in her, don't you?
304
00:18:38,534 --> 00:18:39,264
Don't you?
305
00:18:39,306 --> 00:18:43,227
Don't you want the person inside
of you to finally emerge?
306
00:18:43,539 --> 00:18:45,312
That's a complicated question.
307
00:18:45,354 --> 00:18:46,459
We've all been on diet.
308
00:18:46,501 --> 00:18:47,814
But this time we'll do it together.
309
00:18:47,856 --> 00:18:51,985
We're there for one another.
Totally honest and no one's off the hook.
310
00:18:52,027 --> 00:18:53,758
On one condition.
311
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,469
In four months we go back
to the Willoughby Cafe,
312
00:18:56,511 --> 00:18:58,659
we get that table
by the window and
313
00:18:58,700 --> 00:19:03,142
we shame Chester until
he is groveling at our feet.
314
00:19:03,184 --> 00:19:04,081
Done.
315
00:19:04,122 --> 00:19:08,773
One, we meet September 5th
to humiliate Chester.
316
00:19:09,294 --> 00:19:13,048
Supporting each other no matter
where and no matter what.
317
00:19:13,090 --> 00:19:14,612
We can work out together
every other day.
318
00:19:14,654 --> 00:19:16,072
To start.
319
00:19:16,114 --> 00:19:23,162
Work out and diet. No secret stashes.
Nola, you know what I'm talking about.
320
00:19:23,684 --> 00:19:27,125
And we need our symbols to remind us
of who we're gonna be.
321
00:19:27,166 --> 00:19:32,859
Mine is red. When I was thin,
I wore color. Now I just...
322
00:19:32,964 --> 00:19:35,362
well, I wear Eileen Fischer
versions of a burka.
323
00:19:36,300 --> 00:19:44,225
Nancy wants bold proud red and I...
wanna wear bikini on the beach.
324
00:19:44,329 --> 00:19:45,268
Nola?
325
00:19:47,145 --> 00:19:48,604
I don't know.
Can I think about it?
326
00:19:49,126 --> 00:19:51,138
All right. Nola's goal TBD.
327
00:19:51,284 --> 00:19:54,235
We have weekly weigh-ins
with our weight-loss pact.
328
00:19:54,965 --> 00:19:55,799
Can we call it something else?
329
00:19:56,842 --> 00:20:03,515
Well, since Belinda is our fairy godmother
how about "the Cinderella pact"?
330
00:20:04,454 --> 00:20:06,852
A toast! To change.
331
00:20:09,771 --> 00:20:11,023
To friendship.
332
00:20:12,065 --> 00:20:14,672
To the Cinderella pact.
333
00:20:18,426 --> 00:20:20,094
Belinda would be so proud of it.
334
00:20:20,136 --> 00:20:23,327
I hope so. I really do.
335
00:20:33,024 --> 00:20:34,484
I can't go in there.
336
00:20:36,048 --> 00:20:39,176
"Can't" is not part
of our vocabulary, okay?
337
00:20:39,217 --> 00:20:43,451
Together we have strength.
338
00:20:42,721 --> 00:20:44,494
We give each other confidence.
339
00:20:49,394 --> 00:20:53,982
Honey, listen, nobody said
this was gonna be easy, right? We can...
340
00:20:54,295 --> 00:20:56,693
We should hire a personal trainer.
Work out on our own terms.
341
00:20:56,735 --> 00:20:59,300
Great idea! What do you think of that?
342
00:20:59,342 --> 00:21:00,343
Okay.
343
00:21:00,384 --> 00:21:04,931
Nola? Hey, you work out here too?
344
00:21:05,139 --> 00:21:06,703
No.
345
00:21:06,745 --> 00:21:10,665
No, because we already
worked out actually.
346
00:21:10,707 --> 00:21:13,481
It was really intense.
We had a good one, right?
347
00:21:17,652 --> 00:21:22,135
This is my friend Nancy and
this is my friend Deb.
348
00:21:22,177 --> 00:21:25,785
This is Chip. He gave a ride
when Pumpkin died.
349
00:21:26,202 --> 00:21:27,453
Really!
350
00:21:31,207 --> 00:21:35,482
I'm gonna go in. It was nice
meeting you, guys. Good to see you.
351
00:21:35,524 --> 00:21:37,046
Yeah!
352
00:21:37,255 --> 00:21:39,340
Oh, my God. I'm such a looser.
353
00:21:39,382 --> 00:21:41,738
He is adorable!
354
00:21:41,780 --> 00:21:45,909
Deb, don't get any ideas.
He is too adorable for me.
355
00:21:45,951 --> 00:21:48,203
Oh, come on. He would be lucky
to have you, wouldn't he?
356
00:21:48,307 --> 00:21:49,141
Absolutely.
357
00:21:50,914 --> 00:21:52,374
Cinderella pact.
358
00:22:00,194 --> 00:22:02,488
Well, that was exhausting.
I felt the burn.
359
00:22:02,697 --> 00:22:05,199
Me too. I think I pulled
something back there.
360
00:22:05,241 --> 00:22:06,346
Oh, great first day, ladies.
361
00:22:06,450 --> 00:22:07,597
Keep it coming. Let's go. Punch.
362
00:22:07,910 --> 00:22:09,474
Final stretch, Deb.
How you doing?
363
00:22:09,996 --> 00:22:11,560
- Hangin' in.
- All right.
364
00:22:12,290 --> 00:22:13,541
Push it. Let's go.
365
00:22:13,749 --> 00:22:15,105
Keep it tight, keep it tight.
366
00:22:15,209 --> 00:22:16,773
Okay, 45 seconds.
367
00:22:18,233 --> 00:22:19,276
Come on, Deb. Let's go!
368
00:22:26,575 --> 00:22:29,286
Oh, my God!
What do you guys eat for breakfast?
369
00:23:12,245 --> 00:23:14,956
Oh, Deb, they're waiting!
Let's go Deb!
370
00:23:20,691 --> 00:23:22,047
Go, Deb!
371
00:23:22,151 --> 00:23:22,881
Yeah!
372
00:23:29,241 --> 00:23:32,057
That's it. That's my goal.
373
00:23:32,161 --> 00:23:33,412
Oh, Nola, it's...
374
00:23:33,829 --> 00:23:34,664
Perfect.
375
00:23:34,705 --> 00:23:36,645
Cinderella would be proud.
376
00:23:51,555 --> 00:23:54,371
- Hello!
- Belinda,
377
00:23:54,412 --> 00:23:56,769
it's Charlotte, your agent,
who you never call back.
378
00:23:56,811 --> 00:23:59,271
Hi, Charlotte.
How are you, darling?
379
00:23:59,313 --> 00:24:00,523
I'm sorry to call you so late.
380
00:24:00,940 --> 00:24:02,921
But we really do need
to talk about this book.
381
00:24:02,963 --> 00:24:06,466
I've been getting calls from
a Lori Digrigio at Stanson.
382
00:24:06,508 --> 00:24:07,717
Over twenty, to be exact.
383
00:24:07,759 --> 00:24:10,324
She really needs to
schedule personal appearances
384
00:24:10,366 --> 00:24:12,514
and a promotional tour
to launch this book.
385
00:24:12,556 --> 00:24:15,746
It's part of your contract.
They really need some dates.
386
00:24:15,788 --> 00:24:19,291
Do you know what?
I will check my calendar
387
00:24:19,709 --> 00:24:22,941
and I will get back to you
with many options, okay?
388
00:24:22,983 --> 00:24:25,235
No, no, Belinda.
It would be really helpful
389
00:24:25,277 --> 00:24:27,216
if we could do this right now
while I got you on the phone...
390
00:24:27,258 --> 00:24:31,700
This is... Charlotte, I have to call
you back. It's a terrible line! Bye! Bad line!
391
00:24:36,183 --> 00:24:37,852
Oh! No!
392
00:24:47,757 --> 00:24:53,284
Mr. Tuchman, everything's under control!
I just burned my dinner again!
393
00:24:55,056 --> 00:24:55,890
Hi!
394
00:24:55,932 --> 00:24:57,246
What happened?
395
00:24:57,288 --> 00:25:01,625
I'm sorry. I set off the smoke alarm
again. It happens all the time.
396
00:25:01,667 --> 00:25:05,379
Don't worry about a thing. There.
397
00:25:05,421 --> 00:25:06,735
What's up?
398
00:25:07,777 --> 00:25:10,384
I brought over something
I want you to watch.
399
00:25:10,801 --> 00:25:11,844
Okay.
400
00:25:15,076 --> 00:25:19,560
Gastric bypass.
Miracle answer or helpful tool.
401
00:25:20,186 --> 00:25:23,418
Once you get past the black stools
and the possible death thing
402
00:25:23,460 --> 00:25:26,650
it's actually pretty okay.
403
00:25:27,902 --> 00:25:30,404
Deb, you can't be serious
about having this surgery.
404
00:25:33,845 --> 00:25:38,329
Mr. Tuchman, everything's
under control. See? It stopped.
405
00:25:38,433 --> 00:25:40,206
Don't hang up. It's Chip.
406
00:25:41,874 --> 00:25:44,272
Chip? How did you get this number?
407
00:25:44,794 --> 00:25:47,609
The company directory.
408
00:25:47,651 --> 00:25:51,675
Oh, did I leave something
in your truck?
409
00:25:51,884 --> 00:25:53,657
No, I was actually
in your neighborhood
410
00:25:53,698 --> 00:25:55,325
and was wandering if
you wanna meet for a drink.
411
00:25:56,785 --> 00:25:58,974
Meet for a drink? Meet tonight?
412
00:25:59,016 --> 00:26:00,226
Yes! Yes!
413
00:26:00,538 --> 00:26:02,415
Could you hold on
for a second, please?
414
00:26:02,457 --> 00:26:05,648
I wanna talk to you
about this surgery.
415
00:26:06,065 --> 00:26:08,150
I'm not having it tomorrow.
Are you nuts?
416
00:26:08,192 --> 00:26:10,965
Stomach surgery DVD
or amazingly hunky guy?
417
00:26:12,112 --> 00:26:13,989
All right. I got it.
418
00:26:15,136 --> 00:26:18,369
Yeah, I think I could
probably make it.
419
00:26:19,516 --> 00:26:20,663
Where are you?
420
00:26:20,704 --> 00:26:23,478
Brown's? In half hour?
421
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:24,729
Tell him you'll be there.
422
00:26:24,771 --> 00:26:27,023
Half hour. I'll be there.
423
00:26:27,065 --> 00:26:29,421
All right. Bye.
424
00:26:31,507 --> 00:26:32,237
Oh, my God.
425
00:26:32,383 --> 00:26:35,365
Don't just stand there.
Let's get you dressed. Come on.
426
00:26:35,407 --> 00:26:37,867
Half an hour! What am I?
Wonder Woman? Look at me!
427
00:26:37,909 --> 00:26:39,849
But you've got four hands!
Come on!
428
00:26:48,503 --> 00:26:49,650
Nola...
429
00:26:50,171 --> 00:26:50,693
Hi!
430
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,134
I kind of feel really overdressed
431
00:26:56,532 --> 00:26:59,139
Excuse me. The lady will have...
432
00:26:59,180 --> 00:27:01,433
A white wine spritzer.
433
00:27:02,267 --> 00:27:04,144
Thank you. Right over here.
434
00:27:04,185 --> 00:27:08,836
Wow. It is a good thing I changed.
I was gonna wear the exact same outfit.
435
00:27:11,338 --> 00:27:13,319
- You look nice.
- Thank you.
436
00:27:13,361 --> 00:27:14,884
So, did you buy a new car yet?
437
00:27:14,925 --> 00:27:17,073
I rented one. A Volvo.
438
00:27:17,115 --> 00:27:18,846
- Very safe choice.
- Yeah.
439
00:27:18,950 --> 00:27:20,827
But safe is not all
it's cracked up to be.
440
00:27:20,869 --> 00:27:22,975
Sometimes you need to step
outside your comfort zone
441
00:27:23,017 --> 00:27:24,789
and take risks to be successful.
442
00:27:25,519 --> 00:27:26,458
Okay.
443
00:27:28,752 --> 00:27:32,192
Another one-sided conversation
I've been having with my father for years.
444
00:27:37,823 --> 00:27:40,013
So, what's his definition of success?
445
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,767
Someone who is hard-working,
responsible and focused.
446
00:27:43,808 --> 00:27:48,042
So, you're lazy,
reckless and unfocused?
447
00:27:48,876 --> 00:27:52,525
That's the old me.
Apparently I was avoiding success.
448
00:27:52,567 --> 00:27:55,549
It sounds to me like you might've
been avoiding failure.
449
00:27:55,591 --> 00:27:58,260
Not a bad life strategy, you know.
You never try, you never fail.
450
00:27:59,303 --> 00:28:03,161
Probably. A very astute observation.
451
00:28:03,203 --> 00:28:04,204
Yes, well...
452
00:28:04,245 --> 00:28:08,166
I'm very insightful and intuitive.
It's a gift and a curse.
453
00:28:08,208 --> 00:28:09,834
- Really?
- Yeah.
454
00:28:10,251 --> 00:28:12,441
What am I thinking right now?
455
00:28:15,152 --> 00:28:17,446
You're thinking that you
don't wanna tell me
456
00:28:17,488 --> 00:28:19,949
all your secrets 'cause it'll
make you seem vulnerable.
457
00:28:23,911 --> 00:28:25,579
You're right.
458
00:28:27,977 --> 00:28:30,063
Never talk about my personal life.
459
00:28:31,627 --> 00:28:33,712
I'm gonna do something
for you here, okay?
460
00:28:34,129 --> 00:28:35,798
I'm gonna tell you one
embarrassing thing about me
461
00:28:36,215 --> 00:28:38,613
so that we can be equally
vulnerable.
462
00:28:38,655 --> 00:28:40,386
That's only fair.
463
00:28:42,888 --> 00:28:44,244
I'm a criminal.
464
00:28:44,348 --> 00:28:48,832
I downloaded a movie illegally
off the Internet before it came out on DVD.
465
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:50,813
So, you're in the run
from the law.
466
00:28:50,917 --> 00:28:52,690
Yes, you're aiding
and abetting a criminal.
467
00:28:56,548 --> 00:28:57,486
Damn.
468
00:28:57,528 --> 00:28:58,320
What?
469
00:28:58,362 --> 00:29:00,406
That woman's just walked out
of the ladies' room.
470
00:29:00,447 --> 00:29:03,847
She's sort of an old girlfriend.
Things ended badly.
471
00:29:05,306 --> 00:29:10,937
Ended badly like "she went to yoga and never came
back" badly or "she boiled your pet rabbit" badly.
472
00:29:12,292 --> 00:29:13,544
Go with me on this.
473
00:29:18,653 --> 00:29:21,051
Well, hello. I thought you died.
474
00:29:21,093 --> 00:29:25,431
Not dead. Just traveling,
busy with work and...
475
00:29:25,472 --> 00:29:27,099
This is my girlfriend, Nola.
476
00:29:28,559 --> 00:29:29,914
Nola?
477
00:29:29,956 --> 00:29:33,772
Nola... Devlin. Hi!
I'm his girlfriend.
478
00:29:33,814 --> 00:29:36,963
You are beyond pathetic.
479
00:29:37,005 --> 00:29:41,071
You stopped calling me
because you're dating this fat lady?
480
00:29:41,113 --> 00:29:44,616
No, I stopped calling you
because we broke up six months ago.
481
00:29:45,034 --> 00:29:45,763
We're over.
482
00:29:45,868 --> 00:29:48,787
We're not over until she sings.
483
00:29:49,204 --> 00:29:50,039
You know what?
484
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,081
Hey!
485
00:29:57,233 --> 00:29:58,693
Classy, Ange. Thanks.
486
00:30:01,508 --> 00:30:02,864
Nola, wait up!
487
00:30:02,906 --> 00:30:03,802
No, no, no!
488
00:30:03,844 --> 00:30:07,035
I'm so sorry.
Angie is a total psycho. I...
489
00:30:07,076 --> 00:30:09,641
Please, can I at least walk you home?
490
00:30:10,059 --> 00:30:11,518
No, obviously I can take care of myself.
491
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,812
What if I just walk
six steps behind you?
492
00:30:14,229 --> 00:30:16,210
Then if I get mugged
you can step in and save me.
493
00:30:17,670 --> 00:30:22,050
I'm an idiot, okay? I got caught off-guard.
I had no idea that she'd be there.
494
00:30:22,154 --> 00:30:24,448
I never should've used you
like that. I'm sorry.
495
00:30:24,448 --> 00:30:25,699
You know, you should be sorry.
496
00:30:26,325 --> 00:30:27,785
Don't you get it?
497
00:30:28,410 --> 00:30:32,894
Girls like me are easy targets
for girls like that, you know?
498
00:30:32,998 --> 00:30:36,543
You should have never put me
in that position.
499
00:30:36,648 --> 00:30:41,965
It was humiliating for me. And
believe me, my life is humiliating enough.
500
00:30:42,382 --> 00:30:45,094
You have every right to be angry.
But I would never humiliate you.
501
00:30:45,511 --> 00:30:47,596
I just wanna know one thing!
Why did you call me tonight?
502
00:30:48,534 --> 00:30:49,994
To meet for a drink.
503
00:30:50,036 --> 00:30:54,165
No. You could have called
a hundred girls just like that.
504
00:30:54,207 --> 00:30:55,521
Why did you called ME?
505
00:30:56,980 --> 00:30:59,170
I don't know. I...
506
00:30:59,587 --> 00:31:02,090
I feel comfortable with you,
I thought we could be friends.
507
00:31:02,611 --> 00:31:06,469
You have a really interesting way
of making new friends, you know?
508
00:31:07,616 --> 00:31:08,972
I screwed up.
509
00:31:09,076 --> 00:31:11,578
Come on, you've never done
something stupid you regret?
510
00:31:12,621 --> 00:31:13,559
Never.
511
00:31:15,332 --> 00:31:18,877
Do I really need to remind you of the
cheeseburger costume debacle?
512
00:31:22,214 --> 00:31:23,882
I'm really truly sorry about tonight.
513
00:31:23,924 --> 00:31:25,134
No, it's okay.
514
00:31:25,175 --> 00:31:26,176
Friends?
515
00:31:27,219 --> 00:31:29,304
Sure. Friends.
516
00:31:29,346 --> 00:31:30,764
Okay.
517
00:31:30,806 --> 00:31:33,267
So, what are your Saturdays like?
518
00:31:33,308 --> 00:31:38,480
Oh, well. Saturdays I...
I train with Oscar de la Hoya. Why?
519
00:31:39,523 --> 00:31:43,694
Well, I wanted the chance to thank you
for protecting me against Angie.
520
00:31:43,735 --> 00:31:46,613
I'm working in a new project
in L.A. for six weeks.
521
00:31:47,447 --> 00:31:49,533
June 13th. Pick you up at noon?
522
00:31:51,723 --> 00:31:54,538
Sure. Yeah. Noon.
523
00:31:56,936 --> 00:31:58,917
- Six weeks?
- Six weeks.
524
00:32:00,377 --> 00:32:02,775
Bye -Bye
525
00:32:10,074 --> 00:32:11,951
Who am I kidding?
526
00:32:12,055 --> 00:32:17,165
Hot, sexy guy does not want
ordinary zaftig me.
527
00:32:17,582 --> 00:32:20,189
He wants someone like you.
528
00:32:23,317 --> 00:32:24,672
Hey, girls, check this out.
529
00:32:24,714 --> 00:32:27,279
These jeans that you see me
wearing today?
530
00:32:27,696 --> 00:32:28,739
Found them in the back of my closet.
531
00:32:28,780 --> 00:32:33,014
Last time I wore them I was 18.
I tried them on and they fit!
532
00:32:34,786 --> 00:32:36,350
When is your date with Chip?
533
00:32:36,663 --> 00:32:38,227
We... we're friends.
It's not a date.
534
00:32:38,269 --> 00:32:39,687
Oh, but it could be.
535
00:32:39,896 --> 00:32:41,668
Yeah. He's way out of my league.
536
00:32:41,877 --> 00:32:45,214
Why? Because you're smart and
you're funny, and...
537
00:32:45,255 --> 00:32:47,090
Hello! You gonna help me out here?
538
00:32:47,507 --> 00:32:50,177
The lap-band is an inflatable
device placed around the stomach
539
00:32:50,219 --> 00:32:52,512
creating a small pouch.
They don't remove any
540
00:32:52,554 --> 00:32:55,328
of the digestive system
and it's easy to reverse.
541
00:32:55,369 --> 00:32:58,352
This is way better for me
than a gastric...
542
00:32:58,393 --> 00:33:00,437
Thank you.
543
00:33:00,479 --> 00:33:02,314
than a gastric bypass.
544
00:33:03,461 --> 00:33:05,651
Well, at least they're not going
to reroute your intestines.
545
00:33:07,215 --> 00:33:12,115
However the procedure is not without risks.
One in 2500 patients die?
546
00:33:12,532 --> 00:33:15,452
I already have
high blood pressure.
547
00:33:15,494 --> 00:33:19,206
I'm at risk
for diabetes and heart disease.
548
00:33:19,248 --> 00:33:23,064
It's been almost a month
since we started the pact.
549
00:33:25,358 --> 00:33:27,443
And you and Nola
have lost weight.
550
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:30,467
I gained.
551
00:33:32,135 --> 00:33:36,098
I want... need this.
552
00:33:36,515 --> 00:33:39,643
Of course, you do.
And we're your best friends.
553
00:33:39,685 --> 00:33:42,145
We're here for you
no matter what.
554
00:33:43,814 --> 00:33:44,856
Good.
555
00:33:45,169 --> 00:33:51,217
Cause I already have it scheduled
and you guys better be there.
556
00:33:54,032 --> 00:33:55,701
I got your message.
What's going on?
557
00:33:55,742 --> 00:33:57,160
Richard Stanson called.
558
00:33:57,202 --> 00:33:59,246
He wants to launch
the book at September.
559
00:33:59,288 --> 00:34:01,540
September?
What happened to late October?
560
00:34:01,581 --> 00:34:02,895
They want the book out
before fall.
561
00:34:03,521 --> 00:34:04,459
And it gets better.
562
00:34:04,501 --> 00:34:07,587
Shine is hosting a launch party
for Belinda September 5th
563
00:34:07,629 --> 00:34:09,047
and she's not even
returning my e-mails
564
00:34:09,089 --> 00:34:12,488
I talked to the editor at "Go Fab" magazine
and she never even worked there.
565
00:34:12,530 --> 00:34:15,721
This could be like Jayson Blair
and the New Times all over again.
566
00:34:16,138 --> 00:34:17,285
You're overreacting.
I doubt that...
567
00:34:17,326 --> 00:34:19,579
What the hell is going on?
It's like she doesn't even exist.
568
00:34:19,620 --> 00:34:20,726
She exists!
569
00:34:20,767 --> 00:34:25,314
You talked to her on the telephone.
She is very shy and the book tour...
570
00:34:25,355 --> 00:34:27,816
I mean, she hates
doing personal appearances.
571
00:34:27,858 --> 00:34:28,754
I don't care.
572
00:34:28,796 --> 00:34:32,195
Belinda's contract specifically
includes promotional tie-ins.
573
00:34:32,237 --> 00:34:35,324
If she doesn't understand that
then she'll have plenty of time
574
00:34:35,365 --> 00:34:37,200
to reread the contract
she's violated
575
00:34:37,242 --> 00:34:40,120
in a little retreat called
the Beacon Correctional Facility.
576
00:34:40,162 --> 00:34:42,727
Now find her.
577
00:34:42,831 --> 00:34:43,561
Go.
578
00:34:49,296 --> 00:34:51,381
I'm thinking of using.
579
00:34:51,485 --> 00:34:52,382
Don't do it.
580
00:34:52,424 --> 00:34:54,718
Whatever happened
that'll be okay, eventually.
581
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,908
I'm not so sure about that.
582
00:34:56,949 --> 00:34:57,950
What's wrong?
583
00:34:57,992 --> 00:35:01,183
Can I ask you a legal hypothetical?
584
00:35:01,224 --> 00:35:04,832
All right. Let's say
there is a person. A singer.
585
00:35:04,874 --> 00:35:08,169
- What kind of singer?
- I don't know. A country singer.
586
00:35:08,211 --> 00:35:09,837
- I like country.
- Oh, okay, good. So...
587
00:35:09,879 --> 00:35:12,861
Let's say this country singer
she's supposed to do a concert
588
00:35:12,903 --> 00:35:14,425
but she doesn't show up.
589
00:35:14,467 --> 00:35:17,449
I'm assuming that concert people
would probably sue her but
590
00:35:17,491 --> 00:35:20,786
what if she doesn't have any money?
Does she go to jail?
591
00:35:20,827 --> 00:35:23,497
- What, like debtor's prison?
- Yeah.
592
00:35:23,914 --> 00:35:25,686
Yeah. If Dickens were still alive.
593
00:35:25,728 --> 00:35:29,544
These days they'd figure out something
else. She'd do another concert for free.
594
00:35:30,796 --> 00:35:32,568
Wow. What's going on?
595
00:35:32,777 --> 00:35:38,303
Nothing. I just...
I'm doing research for Belinda.
596
00:35:38,345 --> 00:35:40,180
Right. No wonder you're eating.
597
00:35:40,597 --> 00:35:41,430
What does that suppose to mean?
598
00:35:41,472 --> 00:35:43,204
You do all the work,
she takes the credit.
599
00:35:43,246 --> 00:35:44,351
Not true.
600
00:35:44,768 --> 00:35:47,270
Oh, come on. You've always been
the one to take the broken cookie.
601
00:35:47,375 --> 00:35:51,024
Because you don't think you deserve
the good one. It's like you...
602
00:35:51,066 --> 00:35:53,631
you stand in the shadows
while other people shine.
603
00:35:54,257 --> 00:35:57,593
I get it. It's easier to sabotage
yourself stuffing your face
604
00:35:57,635 --> 00:36:00,199
than it is to just put yourself
out there and risk failure.
605
00:36:03,327 --> 00:36:07,290
You know, broken or whole
a cookie never rejects you.
606
00:36:09,272 --> 00:36:13,025
When you're ready you'll stand up.
You'll take center stage.
607
00:36:13,234 --> 00:36:17,717
But until then you need to
find comfort without food.
608
00:36:18,552 --> 00:36:22,514
Dear desperate in Duluth,
do not give up on yourself.
609
00:36:23,138 --> 00:36:27,102
You are worth a million times more
than that cheating husband of yours.
610
00:36:27,519 --> 00:36:30,751
Your life isn't over because he is gone.
611
00:36:33,150 --> 00:36:36,382
It is just beginning
because you are free.
612
00:36:36,424 --> 00:36:41,178
Free from the lying,
the deceit, the pain...
613
00:36:42,638 --> 00:36:47,643
You, my friend,
can be anything you want now.
614
00:36:50,980 --> 00:36:59,217
On my honor I will try to do my best
to love my country and God
615
00:36:59,843 --> 00:37:03,388
and obey all the rules
set out in the handbook.
616
00:37:06,308 --> 00:37:07,976
I always feel better
after I pray.
617
00:37:08,018 --> 00:37:10,479
That was the "Brownie Promise".
618
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,919
It's still sacred and I have
the badges to prove it.
619
00:37:13,961 --> 00:37:16,422
I think the Valium is working.
620
00:37:17,152 --> 00:37:19,237
Honey they're going to
come get you soon.
621
00:37:19,967 --> 00:37:22,991
Thanks for being here, guys.
It means a lot.
622
00:37:23,304 --> 00:37:25,598
Where else would we be?
623
00:37:25,639 --> 00:37:28,413
Paul should be here.
624
00:37:29,873 --> 00:37:33,210
You know what?
You're changing. You know?
625
00:37:33,251 --> 00:37:36,233
And some people
are afraid of change.
626
00:37:38,110 --> 00:37:41,760
What's Paul think?
I'll lose a few pounds and
627
00:37:41,801 --> 00:37:46,869
George Clooney'll want to take me
and the kids to Italy to ride Vespas?
628
00:37:48,225 --> 00:37:51,144
Seriously no, right?
629
00:37:51,186 --> 00:37:53,647
Listen: you can't let Paul
dictate what you want.
630
00:37:53,959 --> 00:37:58,235
You have to stand up for yourself.
631
00:37:59,486 --> 00:38:02,510
I am so going to do that,
632
00:38:02,551 --> 00:38:07,098
once my stomach has been reduced
to the size of a dill pickle.
633
00:38:15,335 --> 00:38:19,402
I can't believe Paul's not here. Honestly,
I mean, he's just... He's clueless.
634
00:38:19,610 --> 00:38:20,861
So are a lot of men.
635
00:38:20,903 --> 00:38:23,051
Ron's a man. He's not.
636
00:38:23,093 --> 00:38:24,928
Yeah. But Ron's different.
637
00:38:25,345 --> 00:38:27,952
Mm-mm. You're different.
You stand up for yourself.
638
00:38:27,993 --> 00:38:30,454
Not always.
639
00:38:30,496 --> 00:38:32,018
Yeah. Right.
640
00:38:33,374 --> 00:38:35,772
Okay. I'm gonna admit something here.
641
00:38:36,919 --> 00:38:41,507
I think that...
Belinda Apple may be right.
642
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,408
I kinda feel like
our Cinderella pact is working.
643
00:38:47,138 --> 00:38:51,204
You know that I wasn't always like this.
I mean. I used to have a waist and...
644
00:38:51,246 --> 00:38:57,043
Then I started working at Stanson and
there wasn't a day that Ted Fines
645
00:38:57,085 --> 00:38:59,859
wouldn't stare at my chest or...
646
00:38:59,900 --> 00:39:03,091
accidentally grab my ass.
647
00:39:04,447 --> 00:39:06,115
I was like the ultimate doormat
648
00:39:06,157 --> 00:39:07,679
You never told me that.
649
00:39:08,096 --> 00:39:09,243
That's embarrassing.
650
00:39:09,452 --> 00:39:12,684
Here I am representing employees
against sexual harassment
651
00:39:12,726 --> 00:39:13,831
while I'm taking it myself.
652
00:39:14,769 --> 00:39:16,333
So you put on weight.
653
00:39:17,689 --> 00:39:20,713
Well, the bigger I got
the less Ted hassled me.
654
00:39:23,841 --> 00:39:27,073
You know, I've lost 21 pounds
and I should be happy.
655
00:39:29,054 --> 00:39:33,851
But what if I keep loosing weight
and the harassment starts again?
656
00:39:33,893 --> 00:39:38,230
It won't. You won't let it.
657
00:39:50,430 --> 00:39:52,203
Hey, sweety, we're here.
658
00:39:53,141 --> 00:39:55,018
Am I thinner?
659
00:39:55,956 --> 00:39:56,790
Definitely!
660
00:39:59,397 --> 00:40:02,004
Excellent.
661
00:40:11,284 --> 00:40:13,787
I snagged this from
the fashion closet upstairs.
662
00:40:14,308 --> 00:40:16,706
Very nice.
It'll look great with you eyes.
663
00:40:16,915 --> 00:40:19,000
It's not for me.
It's for you date... with Chip.
664
00:40:20,251 --> 00:40:23,484
Again, not a date.
A friend thing.
665
00:40:23,526 --> 00:40:26,820
Whatever. You can still look nice.
Your clothes are swimming on you now
666
00:40:26,925 --> 00:40:30,157
but you boobs, they still look great.
And this tent look is getting old.
667
00:40:30,783 --> 00:40:32,138
My boobs look great?
668
00:40:32,555 --> 00:40:36,101
Totally. Chip will be very impressed.
You know, in a friendly way.
669
00:40:48,613 --> 00:40:49,656
Hi!
670
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:50,907
Hey, you ready?
I have a surprise.
671
00:40:53,618 --> 00:40:55,495
My purse, my keys...
672
00:40:55,704 --> 00:40:56,642
What?
673
00:40:56,684 --> 00:40:58,623
You look different.
674
00:41:00,396 --> 00:41:01,960
Good different or bad different.
675
00:41:02,001 --> 00:41:04,567
Definitely...
definitely good different.
676
00:41:05,401 --> 00:41:07,382
Okay, let's see this surprise.
677
00:41:07,434 --> 00:41:08,320
Yeah, come on.
678
00:41:10,614 --> 00:41:11,865
Right over here.
679
00:41:19,269 --> 00:41:21,354
Oh, my god!
680
00:41:21,396 --> 00:41:23,857
Yeah, well I do a lot of work
for the dealership
681
00:41:23,909 --> 00:41:25,734
so they said we could
take it for a test drive.
682
00:41:30,426 --> 00:41:32,303
You brought this for me to ride?
683
00:41:32,344 --> 00:41:35,535
Yeah. I wanted to apologize...
again.
684
00:41:35,577 --> 00:41:37,829
You could've bought me
a houseplant.
685
00:41:38,246 --> 00:41:39,289
Come on. Let's take
this baby for a ride.
686
00:41:39,330 --> 00:41:40,331
I can't
687
00:41:40,373 --> 00:41:41,791
Why not?
688
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:47,630
She's so beautiful... I...
I can't drive this car.
689
00:41:49,612 --> 00:41:53,678
Well, there is some element of risk
in living your dreams.
690
00:42:04,001 --> 00:42:05,148
Hold on.
691
00:42:08,693 --> 00:42:12,760
You're no longer Volvo-safe.
You are sports car fearless.
692
00:42:16,513 --> 00:42:17,556
Thank you.
693
00:42:19,746 --> 00:42:23,708
Yes! There is something just
so wrong about ketchup on a hot dog.
694
00:42:24,125 --> 00:42:25,272
You sure you don't want anything?
695
00:42:25,314 --> 00:42:26,628
No, I'm good. It's...
696
00:42:26,669 --> 00:42:30,548
I'm kind of doing this Cinderella
pact with my friends.
697
00:42:30,590 --> 00:42:33,197
We're trying to eat healthy,
lose a little weight.
698
00:42:34,135 --> 00:42:36,950
- Well, you look great.
- Oh, thank you.
699
00:42:36,992 --> 00:42:39,557
Okay. That makes it official.
This is the most fun I've ever had
700
00:42:39,599 --> 00:42:40,913
without trans-fats being involved.
701
00:42:40,954 --> 00:42:44,458
Fast cars, compliments,
what could be better?
702
00:42:44,500 --> 00:42:46,648
Yeah, you can't beat
fast cars for fun
703
00:42:46,856 --> 00:42:50,610
and I've definitely had my fill in
my danger-seeking irresponsible youth.
704
00:42:50,819 --> 00:42:52,070
Oh!
705
00:42:53,947 --> 00:42:54,843
What?
706
00:42:54,885 --> 00:42:56,032
No, nothing.
707
00:42:56,345 --> 00:42:59,682
All right. It's just...
You have a relationship
708
00:42:59,723 --> 00:43:02,601
with a Porsche dealership, right?
You've had a lot of fast cars.
709
00:43:02,643 --> 00:43:05,208
And not that it's not a
wonderful profession but
710
00:43:05,250 --> 00:43:09,066
I didn't realize you could make
so much money fixing people's computers.
711
00:43:09,900 --> 00:43:12,507
My... family has money, not me.
712
00:43:12,549 --> 00:43:17,095
You know, and I've been slacking
for a few years but I'm trying to change.
713
00:43:17,136 --> 00:43:19,180
Oh, yeah?
How's that working out for you?
714
00:43:19,222 --> 00:43:21,474
Well, you know,
one step forward, two steps back.
715
00:43:23,038 --> 00:43:24,185
Croquet!
716
00:43:24,602 --> 00:43:27,313
- You play?
- Oh, no, not anymore.
717
00:43:27,730 --> 00:43:30,441
That was part of
my danger-seeking, irresponsible youth.
718
00:43:32,735 --> 00:43:36,802
I don't just play. I... I dominate.
719
00:43:38,053 --> 00:43:39,096
Really?
720
00:43:39,138 --> 00:43:40,243
Mm-mm
721
00:43:40,285 --> 00:43:41,077
Mm
722
00:43:41,119 --> 00:43:44,935
Well, I guess we're...
going to have to see about that.
723
00:44:03,495 --> 00:44:08,813
It's the last point in the match and Nola
appears to be crumbling under the pressure.
724
00:44:08,855 --> 00:44:10,794
Stop stalling!
725
00:44:10,836 --> 00:44:14,027
Losing to a girl would be
humiliating for the cool guy.
726
00:44:14,068 --> 00:44:18,615
She should remember that he
found her her back-up fantasy car.
727
00:44:19,240 --> 00:44:21,117
True. He should know
728
00:44:21,159 --> 00:44:24,662
that if she let's him win it's only
cause she took pity on him.
729
00:44:25,079 --> 00:44:25,496
What is that?
730
00:44:25,538 --> 00:44:26,331
What?
731
00:44:26,372 --> 00:44:26,956
No!
732
00:44:26,998 --> 00:44:28,207
Yes! He wins!
733
00:44:28,249 --> 00:44:29,980
- No!
- Yes! I did!
734
00:44:30,022 --> 00:44:31,023
- You cheated!
- No, I did not.
735
00:44:31,064 --> 00:44:32,483
- He cheated!
- No.
736
00:44:32,524 --> 00:44:33,525
- You guys saw that!
- I did not.
737
00:44:33,671 --> 00:44:34,777
Cheat!
738
00:44:34,985 --> 00:44:37,800
- Thank you, guys.
- Thanks, guys.
739
00:44:39,052 --> 00:44:41,554
- That was fun.
- Yeah.
740
00:44:44,995 --> 00:44:46,142
- So...
- So...
741
00:44:46,663 --> 00:44:48,645
What's it like working for Belinda Apple?
742
00:44:50,939 --> 00:44:54,588
Uh... exciting, frustrating.
743
00:44:55,839 --> 00:44:58,133
Sometimes I feel like
she's taken over my life.
744
00:44:58,550 --> 00:45:01,783
Sounds demanding.
745
00:45:01,824 --> 00:45:04,285
More like all-consuming.
746
00:45:07,413 --> 00:45:10,646
Do you ever feel like you're...
living in Belinda's shadow?
747
00:45:10,687 --> 00:45:14,295
You know, like no one
would ever take you seriously
748
00:45:14,337 --> 00:45:16,381
if she weren't
the name ahead of yours.
749
00:45:17,528 --> 00:45:20,447
Yeah, all the time.
750
00:45:22,011 --> 00:45:23,680
How'd you know?
751
00:45:23,721 --> 00:45:27,329
Well, you have Belinda.
I have my father.
752
00:45:28,059 --> 00:45:30,144
We're both treading water
at the same end of the pool.
753
00:45:31,604 --> 00:45:33,481
Except I don't know how to swim.
754
00:45:34,419 --> 00:45:36,609
Yeah, I found people will
generally tell who they are
755
00:45:37,026 --> 00:45:39,529
the first three minutes you know them.
You just have to listen.
756
00:45:39,737 --> 00:45:44,847
Well, I don't think Angie told me she
was a complete nut-job when we first met.
757
00:45:44,888 --> 00:45:48,913
Sometimes you have to close you eyes
and listen between the lines.
758
00:45:50,686 --> 00:45:51,937
Um, here.
759
00:45:51,979 --> 00:45:52,980
Oh, thank you.
760
00:45:53,021 --> 00:45:57,463
Thanks. So, thank you for
a wonderful, wonderful day.
761
00:45:57,880 --> 00:45:58,402
No, thank you.
762
00:45:58,923 --> 00:46:02,155
Hey, so, listen. I'm going
out of town again for work
763
00:46:02,197 --> 00:46:05,388
but maybe when I get back
we can get together. Dinner?
764
00:46:05,430 --> 00:46:09,142
Oh, god. No need. You know,
you're totally forgiven
765
00:46:09,183 --> 00:46:11,436
for Angie's behavior.
You're off the hook.
766
00:46:11,477 --> 00:46:14,459
Well, this next date would have
nothing to do with Angie.
767
00:46:14,564 --> 00:46:16,336
- Date?
- August 31st?
768
00:46:16,962 --> 00:46:19,360
Oh, wow. You really like to plan
in advance, don't you?
769
00:46:19,464 --> 00:46:21,758
What are you doing Thanksgiving
two years from now?
770
00:46:23,740 --> 00:46:24,782
All right. Well...
771
00:46:24,824 --> 00:46:26,242
Hey, you bowl?
772
00:46:26,284 --> 00:46:27,285
No.
773
00:46:27,326 --> 00:46:29,162
Good. We'll go bowling.
774
00:46:29,203 --> 00:46:32,185
That way I can reclaim
my manhood. You in?
775
00:46:33,958 --> 00:46:34,792
Sure.
776
00:46:35,105 --> 00:46:36,773
All right.
777
00:46:46,054 --> 00:46:49,390
Now Corporate has decided they want
Belinda to write the intro to the book.
778
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,518
Call her in Botswana
or wherever the hell she is.
779
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:53,561
I need it next week.
780
00:46:55,334 --> 00:46:59,504
I don't think Belinda wants
to be part of the book's publication.
781
00:47:00,651 --> 00:47:02,215
Excuse me?
782
00:47:02,257 --> 00:47:05,093
No, it's just she's only been writing
for the magazine seven months.
783
00:47:05,135 --> 00:47:08,785
Maybe she thinks it's too early.
784
00:47:08,826 --> 00:47:13,581
The publishing world is in serious trouble.
Magazines are folding every day.
785
00:47:13,998 --> 00:47:17,335
Shine was on line-support before
Belinda started her column.
786
00:47:17,376 --> 00:47:20,046
Ad-revs are up
and Mr. Stanson likes her.
787
00:47:20,088 --> 00:47:23,904
If she doesn't show up to support the book
at the launch party he will be furious.
788
00:47:23,946 --> 00:47:27,136
He could kill the magazine. You got it?
789
00:47:27,553 --> 00:47:29,117
Go.
790
00:47:36,416 --> 00:47:40,066
Hi. You're obviously the food lady.
Can I leave these with you?
791
00:47:40,108 --> 00:47:44,237
Why am I obviously the food lady?
Is it because I'm not size two? Hm?
792
00:47:44,278 --> 00:47:46,739
All right.
Let me tell you something, Sherlock.
793
00:47:46,948 --> 00:47:51,744
Real women, they don't look like the women
you see on TV or magazine covers, okay?
794
00:47:51,848 --> 00:47:54,768
So go ahead. You tell me.
795
00:47:54,977 --> 00:47:57,479
Why must I obviously be
the food lady?
796
00:47:57,521 --> 00:48:00,920
Because your...
your desk says you are.
797
00:48:04,882 --> 00:48:07,593
Right. Sorry.
798
00:48:10,617 --> 00:48:15,935
All right. I'm going to head home a little
early tonight, everybody. I kind of...
799
00:48:15,977 --> 00:48:20,314
Yeah, 'cause, you know, the last ride
to Crazytown leaves, and I got shotgun.
800
00:48:24,172 --> 00:48:25,632
Oh! Oh, my god!
801
00:48:25,674 --> 00:48:26,883
What?
802
00:48:26,925 --> 00:48:29,594
The size 18 is too big!
803
00:48:29,636 --> 00:48:34,182
Oh! Okay, wait. Here, I'm going to...
804
00:48:34,224 --> 00:48:37,415
bring you some other sizes.
Maybe these will fit.
805
00:48:37,519 --> 00:48:39,187
- Thanks.
- Okay.
806
00:48:39,229 --> 00:48:41,377
Why can't Paul be excited about this?
807
00:48:41,419 --> 00:48:43,984
The more weight I lose,
the angrier he gets.
808
00:48:44,026 --> 00:48:47,112
I begged him to go to counseling,
but he refused.
809
00:48:47,154 --> 00:48:48,676
That's no right, Deb.
810
00:48:48,718 --> 00:48:50,761
What do you think Belinda would
tell me to do?
811
00:48:50,803 --> 00:48:54,098
Well, I think she'd say that you
deserve to be loved unconditionally,
812
00:48:54,140 --> 00:48:57,748
and if you're not
you should consider your options.
813
00:49:00,876 --> 00:49:04,734
I know, right? It's a 14.
814
00:49:04,775 --> 00:49:08,905
You know the last time I was a size 14?
High school.
815
00:49:08,946 --> 00:49:11,616
Oh, my god, Deb, you're so thin.
816
00:49:11,657 --> 00:49:12,658
Oh, I'm not that thin.
817
00:49:14,327 --> 00:49:15,369
Oh, I've lost 37 pounds.
818
00:49:15,411 --> 00:49:20,583
37 pounds? Oh, my god. I'm just...
I'm so proud of you.
819
00:49:20,625 --> 00:49:23,502
Oh, I couldn't have done it without you
and Nancy and Belinda.
820
00:49:25,379 --> 00:49:26,839
The Cinderella Pact rocks.
821
00:49:26,881 --> 00:49:30,176
Now we need to find you something
fantastic to wear on your date.
822
00:49:30,593 --> 00:49:31,010
No, no, no. I'm good.
823
00:49:31,052 --> 00:49:32,741
I've got something in the back
of my closet. I can pull it out...
824
00:49:32,783 --> 00:49:35,077
Okay, your brain needs
to catch up with your body.
825
00:49:35,118 --> 00:49:37,475
Yeah, you need some
clothes that actually fit you.
826
00:49:37,892 --> 00:49:40,916
All right. We are not
back-of-closet girls anymore.
827
00:49:40,957 --> 00:49:42,167
Deb, I...
828
00:49:43,105 --> 00:49:46,651
You need a new dress.
Good. Here, try.
829
00:49:47,276 --> 00:49:48,319
Go.
830
00:49:49,362 --> 00:49:50,717
You know what? Why...
831
00:49:50,759 --> 00:49:52,803
Eh, eh, eh. Do it for me. Go.
832
00:49:52,844 --> 00:49:54,054
I don't need...
833
00:49:54,096 --> 00:49:56,139
I don't want to hear it,
I want to see it.
834
00:49:56,181 --> 00:50:01,666
Dear stuck in a rut:
A date is nothing to freak out over.
835
00:50:03,647 --> 00:50:08,756
Wear something that says "I am
confident and prepared for anything"
836
00:50:16,889 --> 00:50:22,728
Makeup should enhance, not camouflage
your own unique qualities.
837
00:50:22,770 --> 00:50:25,127
And most importantly, be yourself.
838
00:50:25,168 --> 00:50:28,880
You don't want to be with anyone
who doesn't see the real you.
839
00:50:43,165 --> 00:50:44,208
- Hey.
- Hi.
840
00:50:44,625 --> 00:50:45,042
Hi. Come on in.
841
00:50:45,772 --> 00:50:51,507
Hey, you look great.
I mean, you know, not that, you know,
842
00:50:51,924 --> 00:50:54,844
you didn't look great before,
but you were... more...
843
00:50:54,885 --> 00:50:56,825
more...
844
00:50:56,867 --> 00:50:59,223
No, I...
845
00:50:59,265 --> 00:51:01,413
There's not really a graceful way
out of this, is there?
846
00:51:01,517 --> 00:51:03,498
This is uncharted territory.
Come on. Can I...
847
00:51:03,540 --> 00:51:04,854
offer you something to drink?
848
00:51:04,895 --> 00:51:08,607
I have diet root beer,
diet cola, diet ice tea, wine...
849
00:51:08,649 --> 00:51:10,589
- I'll take the wine.
- Okay, great.
850
00:51:10,630 --> 00:51:11,944
But only if it is diet.
851
00:51:11,986 --> 00:51:15,489
Uh, make... make yourself at home.
852
00:51:17,053 --> 00:51:22,267
So... how long since
I've seen you, anyway?
853
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:31,234
So, that was either totally
inappropriate and awkward, or...
854
00:51:31,276 --> 00:51:35,509
Or it was really spontaneous and
and nice. I mean, it was nice for me.
855
00:51:35,551 --> 00:51:38,325
- It was nice, wasn't it?
- Very.
856
00:51:38,950 --> 00:51:40,827
- And not at all awkward.
- No. Not at all.
857
00:51:41,036 --> 00:51:42,600
- Not like this conversation.
- Right.
858
00:51:43,017 --> 00:51:44,685
- Drink?
- Oh, yeah. I'd love one.
859
00:51:44,685 --> 00:51:45,311
Great.
860
00:51:49,273 --> 00:51:50,003
I can't seem to...
861
00:51:50,107 --> 00:51:52,818
- May I?
- Yes. Please.
862
00:51:55,112 --> 00:51:56,989
- Can you excuse me...
- Oh, yeah.
863
00:52:00,326 --> 00:52:01,681
I'll be right back.
864
00:52:02,515 --> 00:52:04,288
Nola Devlin, girl gone wild.
865
00:52:05,122 --> 00:52:06,061
Okay, don't freak out.
866
00:52:06,686 --> 00:52:07,938
Nance, what's wrong?
867
00:52:08,042 --> 00:52:09,919
I'm working and my computer crashed.
868
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:13,464
Oh, well, Nancy, I know that's a real
bummer, and I'm sorry, but I gotta...
869
00:52:13,506 --> 00:52:16,592
Yeah, but they sent Chip over to fix it.
He's standing in front of me right now,
870
00:52:16,634 --> 00:52:19,407
and believe me, he is so not
the hot guy from the gym.
871
00:52:21,076 --> 00:52:25,455
No, Chip is standing in my living room
right now. He just kissed me.
872
00:52:25,497 --> 00:52:28,375
Whoever kissed you
isn't Chip, the computer guy.
873
00:52:31,399 --> 00:52:33,901
Well, then, who the hell
is standing in my living room?
874
00:52:37,029 --> 00:52:37,863
Who are you?
875
00:52:38,697 --> 00:52:39,949
I know you're not Chip.
876
00:52:40,053 --> 00:52:41,200
Oh, god. Listen...
877
00:52:41,409 --> 00:52:43,077
No, no, no. Are you even in tech support?
878
00:52:43,494 --> 00:52:44,537
No.
879
00:52:44,578 --> 00:52:46,518
Oh, god, please tell me
you're not a serial killer.
880
00:52:46,559 --> 00:52:48,290
I'm not a serial killer.
881
00:52:48,707 --> 00:52:50,167
Look, you can put down the candlestick.
882
00:52:50,209 --> 00:52:52,148
Who are you?
883
00:52:54,130 --> 00:52:55,277
Alex Stanson.
884
00:52:57,258 --> 00:53:02,263
As in Stanson Publishing "Alex Stanson"?
885
00:53:02,304 --> 00:53:04,765
That would be my father, Alex senior.
886
00:53:10,292 --> 00:53:16,339
So... Why did you let me
think you were computer Chip?
887
00:53:19,780 --> 00:53:23,742
That day that you got
in my truck thinking I was Chip,
888
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:27,183
I had just come
from a meeting with my father.
889
00:53:27,225 --> 00:53:33,752
My relationship with him is
strained at best.
890
00:53:35,004 --> 00:53:38,966
And you totally turned
that day around for me.
891
00:53:39,383 --> 00:53:45,222
You were unguarded, gutsy, funny,
and you were interested in me.
892
00:53:45,952 --> 00:53:48,246
I didn't want to ruin it
by telling you who I was.
893
00:53:48,288 --> 00:53:52,104
I tell people who I am
and they just start acting differently.
894
00:53:52,250 --> 00:53:55,337
Plus, I'm kind of in this
new phase of my life.
895
00:53:55,441 --> 00:53:57,318
Your "fat girl" phase?
896
00:53:58,569 --> 00:54:01,280
My "trying to be
a better person" phase.
897
00:54:01,906 --> 00:54:06,285
I have one last shot to prove
my worth in the family business.
898
00:54:07,745 --> 00:54:12,124
You see, I quit five years ago,
and now that I've come back,
899
00:54:12,166 --> 00:54:15,461
my father put me in charge
of a new book division.
900
00:54:17,025 --> 00:54:17,650
My idea.
901
00:54:18,797 --> 00:54:20,257
Our first book...
902
00:54:20,299 --> 00:54:24,637
is a collection
of Belinda Apple's columns.
903
00:54:24,678 --> 00:54:29,329
I'm so achingly aware of that,
and this has just become a nightmare.
904
00:54:34,230 --> 00:54:37,566
You knew I edited her columns.
905
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,277
Yeah.
906
00:54:42,258 --> 00:54:43,614
Please go.
907
00:54:43,656 --> 00:54:44,448
Look, Nola...
908
00:54:44,490 --> 00:54:45,908
You used me.
909
00:54:45,950 --> 00:54:47,576
That is not true.
910
00:54:47,618 --> 00:54:52,164
Yes, okay, in the beginning,
I maybe I saw an opportunity
911
00:54:52,206 --> 00:54:54,875
to learn more about Belinda,
but then that changed,
912
00:54:54,917 --> 00:54:58,629
and I wanted
to learn more about you.
913
00:54:59,880 --> 00:55:00,923
Belinda works for you.
914
00:55:00,965 --> 00:55:03,113
I work for you. Your family...
915
00:55:03,217 --> 00:55:05,824
This doesn't work. Okay?
It doesn't work.
916
00:55:05,928 --> 00:55:08,222
You have...
please don't say anything else.
917
00:55:08,264 --> 00:55:11,350
Just... just go.
918
00:55:31,370 --> 00:55:34,811
Alex Stanson Jr., the only heir
to the Stanson empire,
919
00:55:34,853 --> 00:55:39,920
which includes magazines, newspapers,
extensive real estate holdings,
920
00:55:39,962 --> 00:55:42,318
has turned being a trust fund
playboy into an art.
921
00:55:45,551 --> 00:55:48,158
He goes through women
like other men go through socks.
922
00:55:48,199 --> 00:55:49,096
Devlin?
923
00:55:50,452 --> 00:55:51,599
Yeah.
924
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:53,475
Do you know what this is?
925
00:55:53,517 --> 00:55:55,561
Belinda Apple's
contract for her book.
926
00:55:57,438 --> 00:55:58,897
Do you know what
should be right there?
927
00:55:58,939 --> 00:56:00,044
Her signature.
928
00:56:00,462 --> 00:56:03,485
The book launch party is in less than a week.
Legal is going crazy.
929
00:56:03,527 --> 00:56:07,031
I sent someone from our London office
to the address Belinda gave us,
930
00:56:07,072 --> 00:56:10,889
but all she found was a post office box
with some fan mail addressed to Belinda.
931
00:56:10,930 --> 00:56:12,453
I need proof of life.
932
00:56:12,494 --> 00:56:15,164
What, like Belinda's severed ear
wrapped in today's newspaper?
933
00:56:17,770 --> 00:56:20,586
No. Like a personal
appearance on September 5th.
934
00:56:20,628 --> 00:56:23,297
If she doesn't show,
that will be my proof.
935
00:56:24,444 --> 00:56:27,051
I will go talk to Legal
after lunch, okay?
936
00:56:37,478 --> 00:56:41,231
Hey, Nancy, are we still meeting
at the track after work? I...
937
00:56:41,273 --> 00:56:43,317
I really need to talk.
938
00:56:46,445 --> 00:56:47,383
Nance!
939
00:56:47,425 --> 00:56:49,365
Oh! thank god!
940
00:56:49,406 --> 00:56:51,659
I guess that you don't want
to talk about the last night,
941
00:56:51,700 --> 00:56:53,431
and I'm glad that
you're still alive, but
942
00:56:53,473 --> 00:56:54,995
who the hell was
the guy in your apartment?
943
00:56:55,037 --> 00:56:57,706
All right, it turns out that
the most perfect guy I've ever met
944
00:56:57,810 --> 00:57:00,104
is the guy publishing
Belinda Apple's new book
945
00:57:00,146 --> 00:57:02,503
Alex Stanson junior.
946
00:57:03,545 --> 00:57:04,797
Your "Chip" is Alex Stanson?
No way.
947
00:57:05,214 --> 00:57:07,195
Yes. yes, yes. yes way.
948
00:57:07,237 --> 00:57:08,550
Wow.
949
00:57:08,592 --> 00:57:10,114
Oh, god. there's more.
950
00:57:12,617 --> 00:57:15,182
I really liked him, a lot.
951
00:57:15,224 --> 00:57:17,726
And the awful part is
I think he really liked me.
952
00:57:17,768 --> 00:57:19,916
Well, why are you talking
about this in the past-tense?
953
00:57:19,958 --> 00:57:23,565
Because there can be no future-tense.
There can't be any tense.
954
00:57:23,982 --> 00:57:25,234
Listen, I...
955
00:57:26,589 --> 00:57:28,153
I need to tell you
something, okay?
956
00:57:29,405 --> 00:57:30,447
What?
957
00:57:32,220 --> 00:57:34,097
I'm Belinda Apple.
958
00:57:36,704 --> 00:57:39,727
What? That's impossible.
959
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:42,230
You know, nine months ago,
Lori wanted an advice columnist,
960
00:57:42,272 --> 00:57:44,315
she wouldn't give me a shot
because I didn't look the part?
961
00:57:44,357 --> 00:57:47,131
All right, well,
I came up with a plan, and...
962
00:57:48,903 --> 00:57:50,467
I created "Belinda Apple".
963
00:57:50,509 --> 00:57:53,178
That's not a plan,
that's insanity.
964
00:57:53,220 --> 00:57:54,117
Yeah.
965
00:57:55,368 --> 00:58:00,373
- Who's the woman on the billboards?
- Me, with a little Photoshop.
966
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:03,293
Does anyone else know about this?
967
00:58:03,334 --> 00:58:06,734
No! It wasn't supposed to go this far.
968
00:58:06,775 --> 00:58:08,819
I mean, she wasn't supposed
to become famous.
969
00:58:09,653 --> 00:58:13,615
I just... I was gonna write as Belinda
for a little while to prove that I
970
00:58:14,032 --> 00:58:16,848
could do it, and then I was gonna
go into Lori's office and tell her
971
00:58:16,889 --> 00:58:19,559
that she shouldn't judge
people on their jeans size,
972
00:58:19,601 --> 00:58:21,749
she should be judging them
on their qualifications.
973
00:58:21,790 --> 00:58:23,625
Yeah, I really wish that you had.
I mean...
974
00:58:24,042 --> 00:58:26,368
You deserve that job,
fat or thin.
975
00:58:26,409 --> 00:58:28,109
You need to believe
that you deserve it.
976
00:58:28,151 --> 00:58:29,047
Yeah.
977
00:58:29,777 --> 00:58:31,133
Nancy, listen.
978
00:58:34,782 --> 00:58:38,223
I'm so sorry
I didn't tell you sooner.
979
00:58:39,996 --> 00:58:44,271
Look, putting aside the fact that
one of my best friends couldn't...
980
00:58:44,313 --> 00:58:49,276
wouldn't tell me about something
this important, putting that aside,
981
00:58:49,318 --> 00:58:52,717
do you have any idea what kind
of a professional crap-storm
982
00:58:52,759 --> 00:58:54,281
you've just rained down on me?
983
00:58:54,698 --> 00:58:55,324
I'm so sorry.
984
00:58:55,741 --> 00:58:58,556
Look, if I don't say something,
and this comes out,
985
00:58:58,598 --> 00:59:01,371
I could be fired for knowing about it
and doing nothing.
986
00:59:02,935 --> 00:59:04,187
So what are you going to do?
987
00:59:05,751 --> 00:59:06,585
Nothing.
988
00:59:07,315 --> 00:59:08,670
I know you.
989
00:59:09,296 --> 00:59:10,026
I love you.
990
00:59:10,339 --> 00:59:11,799
And you will do the right thing.
991
00:59:13,571 --> 00:59:14,718
Yeah.
992
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:17,221
You know, one good thing
has come out of all of this.
993
00:59:17,638 --> 00:59:18,368
What?
994
00:59:18,409 --> 00:59:21,809
The Cinderella pact.
You look amazing.
995
00:59:21,850 --> 00:59:23,998
Yeah, I've lost
another five pounds.
996
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:27,856
How am I going to get out
of this in one piece?
997
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:29,525
Lori's coming apart
at the seams.
998
00:59:29,566 --> 00:59:33,591
I mean, she's got this contract she wants
Belinda to sign. You know? she's crazy!
999
00:59:33,633 --> 00:59:36,824
And I can't keep
stalling her for very much longer.
1000
00:59:36,865 --> 00:59:38,492
Come on.
We're gonna figure this out.
1001
00:59:40,369 --> 00:59:41,724
It's Deb.
1002
00:59:41,766 --> 00:59:42,975
- Where?
- Shh.
1003
00:59:43,705 --> 00:59:44,748
Hey, Deb.
1004
00:59:46,729 --> 00:59:50,066
Hey. Deb, where are you?
1005
00:59:50,796 --> 00:59:55,697
- If anything, scotch makes you happy.
- Hey, guys! this is Josh.
1006
00:59:55,905 --> 00:59:58,303
Josh, these are the friends
I was telling you about.
1007
00:59:58,345 --> 00:59:59,450
Do you want a drink?
1008
01:00:00,493 --> 01:00:02,474
No. No, I think we're good.
1009
01:00:02,516 --> 01:00:04,977
I thought you weren't supposed
to drink after your surgery?
1010
01:00:05,018 --> 01:00:06,228
Who are you, her mother?
1011
01:00:07,166 --> 01:00:09,147
No, Josh. Her best friend.
1012
01:00:10,086 --> 01:00:10,920
Come on.
1013
01:00:14,152 --> 01:00:15,612
Do you mind telling us
what you think you're doing?
1014
01:00:16,029 --> 01:00:18,949
I was just having some fun.
Is that a crime?
1015
01:00:19,575 --> 01:00:23,537
Okay, "fun" is a pedicure.
"Fun" is a great day at the beach.
1016
01:00:23,579 --> 01:00:24,892
A fast car is "fun",
1017
01:00:24,934 --> 01:00:27,916
not knocking back manhattans
with some random businessman.
1018
01:00:27,958 --> 01:00:29,063
You're married!
1019
01:00:29,105 --> 01:00:33,755
I know. I've been settling my whole life.
I don't want to settle anymore.
1020
01:00:34,381 --> 01:00:37,050
You know, it's terrifying,
1021
01:00:37,092 --> 01:00:41,659
but for the first time ever,
I feel like I have choices.
1022
01:00:41,889 --> 01:00:44,182
And isn't that why
I went through the surgery?
1023
01:00:44,287 --> 01:00:45,747
Do you know what I did today?
1024
01:00:45,788 --> 01:00:48,145
I went to an assembly
at my son's school.
1025
01:00:48,249 --> 01:00:52,211
I was so happy being there,
just a mom sitting in the audience,
1026
01:00:52,253 --> 01:00:55,235
not some fat woman
everyone was staring at.
1027
01:00:55,757 --> 01:00:57,216
Paul never showed.
1028
01:00:57,633 --> 01:01:01,074
Do you know why I married him?
1029
01:01:01,116 --> 01:01:04,098
Because I was scared
no one else would have me.
1030
01:01:04,140 --> 01:01:06,392
Do you know what's worse?
He knew that!
1031
01:01:06,434 --> 01:01:09,416
He doesn't love me,
he just wants to control me.
1032
01:01:09,729 --> 01:01:11,710
Are you gonna leave him?
1033
01:01:13,170 --> 01:01:14,421
I don't know.
1034
01:01:15,047 --> 01:01:17,028
What would Belinda say?
1035
01:01:18,175 --> 01:01:21,824
Yeah. what would Belinda say?
1036
01:01:26,725 --> 01:01:32,460
I think she'd tell you that you deserve better than
trolling in bars for attention from strange men.
1037
01:01:32,502 --> 01:01:35,588
You are better.
And you know what?
1038
01:01:35,630 --> 01:01:37,986
You should create
the life you deserve.
1039
01:01:39,967 --> 01:01:41,636
That's exactly what she'd say.
1040
01:01:41,677 --> 01:01:42,991
Yeah, no joke.
1041
01:01:45,077 --> 01:01:46,224
Tell her.
1042
01:01:47,788 --> 01:01:48,518
What?
1043
01:01:52,063 --> 01:01:54,878
She is Belinda.
1044
01:01:56,755 --> 01:01:58,006
That's impossible.
1045
01:02:01,030 --> 01:02:02,073
You're Belinda?
1046
01:02:03,637 --> 01:02:05,514
I'm Belinda.
1047
01:02:09,059 --> 01:02:10,102
But how?
1048
01:02:10,143 --> 01:02:13,021
It's really complicated.
I mean...
1049
01:02:14,272 --> 01:02:16,984
Well, I started by submitting
my columns electronically to Lori...
1050
01:02:17,088 --> 01:02:19,590
Do you mean all the advice
I got from Belinda,
1051
01:02:20,737 --> 01:02:25,638
the advice that I changed my life for,
the Cinderella pact, that was all a lie?
1052
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:29,600
No. No! I believed every word.
1053
01:02:29,642 --> 01:02:33,250
It just... it seemed like you
would listen to it more
1054
01:02:33,667 --> 01:02:35,127
when it came
from someone like Belinda.
1055
01:02:35,168 --> 01:02:37,212
I just want what's best for you.
1056
01:02:37,108 --> 01:02:40,132
And to regain my power
and be the person I am inside.
1057
01:02:40,173 --> 01:02:42,113
Yes! yes! yes!
1058
01:02:42,154 --> 01:02:45,241
That was part of the pact,
and we were supposed to be honest
1059
01:02:45,283 --> 01:02:47,326
We would always be honest
with one another.
1060
01:02:49,412 --> 01:02:51,184
And you were lying
from the start.
1061
01:02:51,226 --> 01:02:54,104
You never believed
any of this could be real.
1062
01:02:54,521 --> 01:02:58,379
That's not true.
I hoped it would be. I did.
1063
01:03:00,882 --> 01:03:03,175
Losing weight
has given me the confidence
1064
01:03:03,217 --> 01:03:05,782
to stand up for myself
and be honest about my feelings.
1065
01:03:07,868 --> 01:03:10,266
You have no idea
how much you've hurt me.
1066
01:03:14,228 --> 01:03:17,044
Well, I don't want to deal
with this right now.
1067
01:03:17,565 --> 01:03:18,920
I can't.
1068
01:03:20,589 --> 01:03:22,049
I'll go.
1069
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:31,433
Nola, hi. Sorry about
leaving a message. Again.
1070
01:03:32,267 --> 01:03:33,623
Since I haven't heard from you,
1071
01:03:33,664 --> 01:03:37,689
you are either, "a" on a road trip with
Otis and too busy to check your messages,
1072
01:03:37,731 --> 01:03:42,277
or "b" in the finals of an international croquet
tournament and unaware you have messages,
1073
01:03:42,319 --> 01:03:45,301
or "c" avoiding me
and hoping I stop calling.
1074
01:03:45,343 --> 01:03:49,055
I vote for "a" or "b",
because "c" makes me sad.
1075
01:04:00,420 --> 01:04:03,340
Yes, hello, is Charlotte there?
1076
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:06,676
This is her client, Belinda Apple.
1077
01:04:08,136 --> 01:04:12,516
Could you let her know that I need her
to call me as soon as possible, please?
1078
01:04:13,454 --> 01:04:14,601
Thank you.
1079
01:04:40,877 --> 01:04:41,607
Charlotte?
1080
01:04:41,649 --> 01:04:42,858
Yes?
1081
01:04:44,527 --> 01:04:46,925
I'm Nola Devlin, Belinda Apple's editor.
1082
01:04:46,967 --> 01:04:48,072
Where is she?
1083
01:04:48,114 --> 01:04:50,157
Actually, you're looking right at her.
1084
01:04:50,199 --> 01:04:51,513
I'm Belinda Apple.
1085
01:04:52,556 --> 01:04:55,579
Of course you are, darling.
There's a little bit of "Belinda" in all of us.
1086
01:04:55,684 --> 01:04:56,726
No, Charlotte.
1087
01:04:56,768 --> 01:04:59,646
I'm your client.
I'm Belinda Apple.
1088
01:05:01,419 --> 01:05:07,675
But you're so not-British, or stylish.
No offense.
1089
01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:12,471
I thought you'd be younger, but then
1090
01:05:12,513 --> 01:05:16,121
maturity is just experience
wrapped in wrinkles, isn't it?
1091
01:05:16,538 --> 01:05:20,083
Oh, my god.
You really are Belinda.
1092
01:05:20,292 --> 01:05:24,984
Correction: I've been pretending to be her,
and I've hurt the people I love the most.
1093
01:05:25,026 --> 01:05:27,799
My whole life is
a monumental train wreck.
1094
01:05:27,841 --> 01:05:30,719
I'm probably gonna get fired, go to jail,
and never work as a journalist again,
1095
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:32,908
and I was just wondering
if you could help me.
1096
01:05:33,221 --> 01:05:35,619
Oh, lord, let's get you a drink.
1097
01:05:37,288 --> 01:05:40,312
Wow, you have got yourself
into quite the quandary.
1098
01:05:40,937 --> 01:05:43,961
I know, and I can't fake it anymore.
I can't.
1099
01:05:44,003 --> 01:05:46,933
You can fake a lot of things,
but you cannot fake talent,
1100
01:05:46,975 --> 01:05:50,113
- whether you call yourself Belinda or Nina...
- Nola.
1101
01:05:50,217 --> 01:05:55,744
Whatever. You are a writer.
Believe in that. Women love your column.
1102
01:05:55,785 --> 01:05:58,038
I have the fan mail to prove it.
1103
01:05:58,079 --> 01:06:01,374
Fan mail is not going
to keep me out of jail.
1104
01:06:01,416 --> 01:06:03,877
Okay then. Okay then.
1105
01:06:04,294 --> 01:06:08,152
You do have some options.
One: do nothing.
1106
01:06:08,194 --> 01:06:09,925
Let the chips fall where they may.
1107
01:06:09,966 --> 01:06:15,242
Two: write a letter of resignation,
quit before the whole thing falls apart.
1108
01:06:16,598 --> 01:06:18,475
But your legal problems
won't go away.
1109
01:06:19,517 --> 01:06:24,522
Or three: show up, tell the truth,
and watch the whole thing implode in person.
1110
01:06:25,774 --> 01:06:26,712
It's perfect.
1111
01:06:26,754 --> 01:06:29,527
Well, not the imploding part,
of course, but
1112
01:06:29,569 --> 01:06:32,030
why shouldn't you go
to that party?
1113
01:06:32,030 --> 01:06:35,679
Um, here's a clue:
I'm not Belinda Apple.
1114
01:06:35,784 --> 01:06:39,120
Not yet. But with a little work
1115
01:06:39,746 --> 01:06:41,936
I think
you could bring her to life.
1116
01:06:43,083 --> 01:06:44,125
You're crazy.
1117
01:06:44,167 --> 01:06:46,628
Yeah, "crazy" is sometimes
the basis of genius.
1118
01:06:48,713 --> 01:06:51,007
Go as Belinda.
1119
01:06:51,049 --> 01:06:56,117
You keep your secret, I keep my commission,
that's a win-win situation.
1120
01:06:56,158 --> 01:07:00,287
Nobody is ever going to believe
that I'm Belinda Apple.
1121
01:07:01,226 --> 01:07:02,477
Think about it.
1122
01:07:12,904 --> 01:07:14,218
Nola?
1123
01:07:14,260 --> 01:07:18,326
Chip! Alex... whoever you are.
1124
01:07:18,368 --> 01:07:19,890
What are you doing here?
1125
01:07:21,142 --> 01:07:24,582
Um, I was supposed to meet
Belinda Apple's literary agent
1126
01:07:24,624 --> 01:07:27,294
but I just got a message
saying she had to cancel.
1127
01:07:30,317 --> 01:07:31,464
Have you eaten dinner?
1128
01:07:31,881 --> 01:07:35,010
Haven't eaten lunch
and this is dinner.
1129
01:07:36,678 --> 01:07:40,223
Wow. It looks like your Cinderella
diet's a little extreme.
1130
01:07:40,327 --> 01:07:41,891
- Cinderella pact.
- Right.
1131
01:07:42,309 --> 01:07:43,873
And you have no idea how extreme.
1132
01:07:43,914 --> 01:07:46,688
It kinda messes
with your head, you know?
1133
01:07:47,105 --> 01:07:51,276
I don't, but I know
you need some food, real food,
1134
01:07:51,693 --> 01:07:54,612
and since it looks like
you've lost even more weight,
1135
01:07:54,654 --> 01:07:56,177
I think you could afford
to eat something.
1136
01:07:56,281 --> 01:07:57,115
Thank you.
1137
01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:00,139
Sorry I lied.
1138
01:08:00,181 --> 01:08:03,997
Okay, listen. you lie, I lie,
everybody lies.
1139
01:08:04,039 --> 01:08:07,959
We all tell little lies, and big lies,
and middle-of-the-road lies.
1140
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:10,045
We're not to be trusted.
1141
01:08:10,462 --> 01:08:13,798
Cheaters never prosper. Or is it liars?
Gosh, I can never remember.
1142
01:08:15,675 --> 01:08:19,742
Go home, Alex Stanson.
1143
01:08:19,950 --> 01:08:21,931
I don't want to go home.
1144
01:08:23,391 --> 01:08:25,581
You're a nice guy.
1145
01:08:25,623 --> 01:08:29,960
You're a really, really nice guy.
You're too nice for me.
1146
01:08:30,002 --> 01:08:31,316
That's not true.
1147
01:08:34,027 --> 01:08:40,179
You don't know the real Nola Devlin,
the inner-workings, the heart and soul.
1148
01:08:40,221 --> 01:08:42,890
Well, here's what I do know:
1149
01:08:42,994 --> 01:08:49,355
Nola Devlin is
funny, smart, pretty.
1150
01:08:50,189 --> 01:08:53,317
See? Too nice.
1151
01:08:53,359 --> 01:08:56,237
I like who I am with you.
1152
01:08:57,384 --> 01:09:02,597
I'm not who you think I am.
I mean, I am, I am, but I'm not.
1153
01:09:03,535 --> 01:09:05,204
Don't we all feel that way?
1154
01:09:05,246 --> 01:09:07,498
Oh, listen, I'm serious.
There is no...
1155
01:09:13,754 --> 01:09:15,005
Very nice.
1156
01:09:18,029 --> 01:09:19,906
Did I just say that out loud?
1157
01:09:20,323 --> 01:09:20,740
No.
1158
01:09:28,873 --> 01:09:29,603
Oh, sorry.
1159
01:09:38,153 --> 01:09:38,779
Wait.
1160
01:09:39,405 --> 01:09:43,993
I am not like other girls
you've been with.
1161
01:09:44,034 --> 01:09:44,722
Thank god.
1162
01:09:48,580 --> 01:09:51,604
No, it's just that...
See, my body is...
1163
01:09:51,709 --> 01:09:52,751
Beautiful.
1164
01:09:54,211 --> 01:09:55,984
You have a beautiful body.
1165
01:10:07,141 --> 01:10:09,852
Let's never leave here, ever.
1166
01:10:12,041 --> 01:10:15,899
Oh, god. Let me guess.
Taiwan for six weeks.
1167
01:10:17,464 --> 01:10:20,102
No. Actually L.A.
for a shareholder's meeting,
1168
01:10:20,143 --> 01:10:22,573
and then back here Friday
for the book launch.
1169
01:10:23,824 --> 01:10:26,222
Alex, about the book launch...
1170
01:10:28,412 --> 01:10:33,938
What if Belinda doesn't show?
I mean, she can be really unreliable.
1171
01:10:35,711 --> 01:10:41,863
Well, if she doesn't show
she'll be letting down a lot of people.
1172
01:10:43,323 --> 01:10:44,782
I'm sure it would be
disappointing for you,
1173
01:10:44,824 --> 01:10:47,181
since you're as much a part
of the book as Belinda is.
1174
01:10:48,745 --> 01:10:50,309
- Look, Alex, I...
- Nola,
1175
01:10:50,455 --> 01:10:52,707
I think I'm falling in love with you.
1176
01:11:09,495 --> 01:11:11,684
Chip? Alex?
1177
01:11:13,144 --> 01:11:15,751
- Hey.
- Hi.
1178
01:11:15,793 --> 01:11:16,898
Good morning.
1179
01:11:20,130 --> 01:11:22,737
I have to catch my flight.
Go back to sleep.
1180
01:11:23,884 --> 01:11:25,865
I'll see you at the book launch.
1181
01:11:26,699 --> 01:11:27,534
All right.
1182
01:11:27,638 --> 01:11:29,202
- Get some rest.
- Okay.
1183
01:11:35,041 --> 01:11:35,771
Bye.
1184
01:11:40,046 --> 01:11:41,297
Wait.
1185
01:11:41,339 --> 01:11:46,407
There is no Belinda Apple,
and I'm a big fat liar.
1186
01:12:14,038 --> 01:12:16,332
Hey, Nola! whatcha doing?
1187
01:12:18,209 --> 01:12:19,877
Hey, Joy, have you seen Lori?
1188
01:12:19,919 --> 01:12:21,859
She's getting her dress
fitted for the party.
1189
01:12:22,380 --> 01:12:25,404
Oh, but, hey, if you see her,
can you tell her that Belinda's agent
1190
01:12:25,508 --> 01:12:28,636
sent over a ton of fan mail
from her office last night?
1191
01:12:29,679 --> 01:12:31,034
Fan mail?
1192
01:12:31,139 --> 01:12:33,016
Well, it is in the mail room.
1193
01:12:34,580 --> 01:12:35,935
Thanks, Joy.
1194
01:12:51,993 --> 01:12:56,581
Dear Belinda,
you saved my life! I was 216...
1195
01:12:56,623 --> 01:12:59,709
Dear Belinda, thank you,
thank you, thank you.
1196
01:12:59,813 --> 01:13:01,690
You gave me the courage
to stand up for myself...
1197
01:13:01,899 --> 01:13:06,695
Belinda, you are my guardian angel.
You inspired me to follow my dreams...
1198
01:13:06,591 --> 01:13:10,553
Dear Miss Apple, if it weren't for you,
I wouldn't be here writing this letter.
1199
01:13:19,729 --> 01:13:20,772
Hey, Nance.
1200
01:13:21,189 --> 01:13:22,023
Hey. You ready for tomorrow?
1201
01:13:22,065 --> 01:13:23,691
What's tomorrow?
1202
01:13:23,378 --> 01:13:24,108
Oh, it's end-game.
1203
01:13:24,150 --> 01:13:28,071
The day we go back to the Willoughby Cafe
and witness some serious grovelling?
1204
01:13:28,696 --> 01:13:31,720
Right. Right. God.
1205
01:13:32,971 --> 01:13:36,934
My dress is gone.
1206
01:13:37,872 --> 01:13:38,915
Your goal dress?
1207
01:13:41,417 --> 01:13:43,086
Have you heard from Deb?
1208
01:13:43,127 --> 01:13:44,650
No.
1209
01:13:46,631 --> 01:13:48,612
Alex Stanson said he loves me.
1210
01:13:50,385 --> 01:13:54,034
I don't know what to do.
1211
01:13:55,702 --> 01:14:01,020
I have this invitation here for Nola
to Belinda Apple's book launch.
1212
01:14:02,271 --> 01:14:05,817
This is a letter from a woman in Duluth
1213
01:14:06,442 --> 01:14:09,779
telling Belinda that she saved her life.
1214
01:14:10,717 --> 01:14:14,367
Alex wants me, Nola,
to go to the book launch with him.
1215
01:14:14,409 --> 01:14:16,661
This woman needs Belinda to show up.
1216
01:14:17,704 --> 01:14:20,936
I can't be both people at the same time.
1217
01:14:21,874 --> 01:14:24,168
Rewind. He said he loves you?
1218
01:14:24,210 --> 01:14:25,732
Yeah.
1219
01:14:25,774 --> 01:14:26,567
Wow.
1220
01:14:26,713 --> 01:14:28,026
And it's killing me.
1221
01:14:30,633 --> 01:14:34,700
I just... should have listened!
You were right.
1222
01:14:34,908 --> 01:14:36,681
You know, why did I make
all this stuff up?
1223
01:14:36,723 --> 01:14:40,643
I should have just believed in myself enough to
tell Lori the truth from the beginning, and...
1224
01:14:40,685 --> 01:14:41,790
That is disgusting.
1225
01:14:41,832 --> 01:14:44,293
Well, a little simplistic maybe, but...
1226
01:14:46,795 --> 01:14:50,132
For years, I have been hiding myself
under a homemade fat suit
1227
01:14:50,173 --> 01:14:52,217
so you wouldn't treat me
like a sex object,
1228
01:14:52,259 --> 01:14:56,284
and then I started shrinking
my body and building my self-esteem.
1229
01:14:56,325 --> 01:14:59,308
I even started to think
"maybe Ted's not so bad",
1230
01:14:59,349 --> 01:15:01,184
"Maybe I was just imagining things"
1231
01:15:01,289 --> 01:15:05,981
but there is no way that
I imagined your hand on her ass.
1232
01:15:06,023 --> 01:15:10,047
A kid so fresh out of law school that
she still has the bar tapes memorized.
1233
01:15:11,194 --> 01:15:12,237
You're fired.
1234
01:15:14,218 --> 01:15:15,782
I don't think so.
1235
01:15:17,138 --> 01:15:19,849
When I put together the
sexual harassment suit I have planned,
1236
01:15:19,891 --> 01:15:22,456
you'll be the one
holding the pink slip.
1237
01:15:29,129 --> 01:15:31,110
- Did that feel as good as it looked?
- Oh, so much better.
1238
01:15:36,949 --> 01:15:39,243
This doesn't feel right without Deb.
1239
01:15:39,660 --> 01:15:42,789
She's... she'll come around.
She's just... she's got a lot going on right now.
1240
01:15:44,040 --> 01:15:46,021
Ladies, table for two?
1241
01:15:46,959 --> 01:15:48,106
Remember us?
1242
01:15:49,149 --> 01:15:51,234
Oh, no. I'm so sorry.
1243
01:15:52,069 --> 01:15:53,633
We were here four months ago.
1244
01:15:53,674 --> 01:15:56,344
You wouldn't seat us
at the table by the window.
1245
01:15:56,385 --> 01:15:58,221
I'm sorry. I don't remember.
1246
01:15:58,638 --> 01:16:01,974
We were a little bit...
larger then.
1247
01:16:02,016 --> 01:16:03,643
Yeah, we were fat.
1248
01:16:04,581 --> 01:16:06,041
You said it was reserved.
1249
01:16:06,083 --> 01:16:08,804
You were paranoid
about people walking by,
1250
01:16:08,846 --> 01:16:11,984
thinking this is restaurant
where fat, pathetic women eat.
1251
01:16:15,008 --> 01:16:20,117
So, you got all that from me telling you that that
table was reserved, and I'm the one who's paranoid?
1252
01:16:22,620 --> 01:16:24,184
We'll take the table by the window.
1253
01:16:24,226 --> 01:16:26,791
I'm sorry. It's occupied.
1254
01:16:35,341 --> 01:16:38,782
Do you mean we've been holding a grudge
for four months for nothing?
1255
01:16:38,824 --> 01:16:40,867
Oh, but don't we look fabulous?
1256
01:16:40,909 --> 01:16:42,536
I mean, the Cinderella pact worked.
1257
01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:45,247
Yeah, then why are you still wearing black?
Where's your red?
1258
01:16:45,288 --> 01:16:51,190
Deb, Deb, Deb. It's about
discovering the women we are inside.
1259
01:16:52,650 --> 01:16:55,778
Let me tell ya, Ron is loving
the woman I am on the inside.
1260
01:16:55,820 --> 01:16:58,906
Well, girls, I'm afraid
my bikini dream is over.
1261
01:16:58,948 --> 01:17:00,992
- It was a tad too ambitious for me.
- No!
1262
01:17:01,826 --> 01:17:05,684
No, but I'm looking forward to
dealing with reality in a tankini.
1263
01:17:07,039 --> 01:17:14,025
You guys, I'm so happy that the
Cinderella pact worked for both of you,
1264
01:17:11,314 --> 01:17:14,547
but I don't think it worked for me. See...
1265
01:17:15,381 --> 01:17:19,030
I have no idea who I am or
what I'm supposed to do here.
1266
01:17:19,072 --> 01:17:22,117
You know, like, the book launch
is tomorrow night, and if I don't go,
1267
01:17:22,159 --> 01:17:25,704
I'm going to betray all of those women who
poured their hearts out to me,
1268
01:17:25,746 --> 01:17:27,372
and I don't want to hurt them
1269
01:17:27,414 --> 01:17:30,396
the way you were hurt when you
found out Belinda Apple didn't exist.
1270
01:17:30,438 --> 01:17:36,548
And Alex? I'm in love with him,
and he's gonna hate me.
1271
01:17:36,861 --> 01:17:38,279
I should have told him.
1272
01:17:38,321 --> 01:17:40,927
I should be telling him right now,
and I don't know how to.
1273
01:17:41,657 --> 01:17:43,326
Belinda has to go to that party.
1274
01:17:43,951 --> 01:17:45,307
Belinda doesn't exist.
1275
01:17:48,643 --> 01:17:53,127
It's your wisdom, your wit, your insight.
You're the one every one's listening to.
1276
01:17:53,169 --> 01:17:56,151
You're the one who gave me
the courage to start a new life.
1277
01:17:57,089 --> 01:18:03,346
As hard as it is, I have to leave Paul.
But it's okay. It's good, even.
1278
01:18:03,763 --> 01:18:07,412
And do you think that I could have
stood up to Ted without you or Belinda?
1279
01:18:07,454 --> 01:18:12,626
She's been there all along. You've just been looking
on the outside when you should've been looking in.
1280
01:18:13,877 --> 01:18:18,465
So, no more broken cookies.
No more standing in the shadows.
1281
01:18:18,507 --> 01:18:22,010
It's time you took center stage. Okay?
1282
01:18:22,052 --> 01:18:23,053
Okay.
1283
01:18:23,574 --> 01:18:25,347
Nola? Before we get started...
1284
01:18:25,388 --> 01:18:27,703
It wasn't gone.
1285
01:18:27,745 --> 01:18:30,665
We bought it for you
a couple of days ago.
1286
01:18:32,333 --> 01:18:34,105
Somehow we knew
that you'd need it.
1287
01:18:34,731 --> 01:18:36,295
And these.
1288
01:18:36,337 --> 01:18:38,381
Oh, m--!
1289
01:18:38,798 --> 01:18:40,883
And this. Your fantasy car.
1290
01:20:15,144 --> 01:20:17,542
You are Cinderella!
1291
01:20:20,566 --> 01:20:22,130
Here it is.
1292
01:20:23,694 --> 01:20:25,571
Oh, my goodness.
I'm so nervous, you guys.
1293
01:20:28,178 --> 01:20:31,097
Let's cover you up a little.
1294
01:20:31,139 --> 01:20:32,974
Oh, that's perfect
1295
01:20:34,017 --> 01:20:34,747
Beautiful.
1296
01:20:35,164 --> 01:20:37,458
- Ready?
- Yeah, I'm ready.
1297
01:20:37,500 --> 01:20:39,022
- Here we go.
- Up.
1298
01:20:46,425 --> 01:20:47,989
Belinda! Belinda!
1299
01:20:52,264 --> 01:20:53,203
Belinda?
1300
01:20:54,767 --> 01:20:56,331
She's really looking forward to meeting you.
1301
01:20:56,435 --> 01:20:57,999
Is she ready?
I'd really like to see her.
1302
01:21:01,544 --> 01:21:03,317
I will... I will do that. thank you.
1303
01:21:03,359 --> 01:21:07,592
- Alex, right? hi! I'm Deb.
- Hi. Yeah.
1304
01:21:07,634 --> 01:21:11,450
- Friend of Nola's. Gym.
- Right, the gym.
1305
01:21:12,076 --> 01:21:15,204
ladies and gentlemen, tonight
we are here to introduce to you
1306
01:21:15,621 --> 01:21:19,792
Stanson publishing's new book
"Apple gets to the core"
1307
01:21:19,792 --> 01:21:26,048
a compilation of columns by Shine magazine's
renowned advice columnist, Belinda Apple.
1308
01:21:26,090 --> 01:21:31,783
It is now my great honor to
introduce to you Belinda Apple!
1309
01:21:43,461 --> 01:21:45,442
it's so nice to finally meet...
1310
01:21:47,111 --> 01:21:47,945
oh, my god!
1311
01:21:55,140 --> 01:21:59,936
Oh, thank you all for
the very warm welcome.
1312
01:22:01,292 --> 01:22:07,965
I'm so happy that
Stanson books is publishing my book.
1313
01:22:09,842 --> 01:22:10,989
My book...
1314
01:22:12,866 --> 01:22:14,638
It is my book.
1315
01:22:18,705 --> 01:22:19,956
I can't do this.
1316
01:22:21,624 --> 01:22:26,838
I thought I could but I...
I can't.
1317
01:22:30,905 --> 01:22:32,573
A year ago
1318
01:22:33,720 --> 01:22:37,578
I was an overweight copy editor
1319
01:22:37,995 --> 01:22:39,455
who couldn't get a break.
1320
01:22:41,436 --> 01:22:47,484
There were people
who told me that
1321
01:22:41,436 --> 01:22:48,214
I was just a big girl
with a big dream, and...
1322
01:22:48,318 --> 01:22:52,697
somehow, I let myself believe that.
1323
01:22:54,574 --> 01:23:00,517
So I created Belinda Apple, someone
I thought I could never be.
1324
01:23:00,622 --> 01:23:05,940
Pretty, beautiful, confident, thin...
1325
01:23:07,399 --> 01:23:08,963
Someone with all the answers.
1326
01:23:10,215 --> 01:23:14,907
I used Belinda to protect myself
from rejection and failure.
1327
01:23:16,367 --> 01:23:18,661
I'm so sorry that I lied
1328
01:23:20,746 --> 01:23:26,585
to all of the women who have been
so honest with me, with Belinda.
1329
01:23:29,713 --> 01:23:31,903
I have to be honest with you.
1330
01:23:34,301 --> 01:23:41,496
There is no Belinda Apple,
there's just me, Nola Devlin.
1331
01:23:43,477 --> 01:23:49,212
But here's the thing-- inside,
me and Belinda, we're the same person.
1332
01:23:49,254 --> 01:23:51,610
It just took me till tonight to figure it out.
1333
01:23:53,591 --> 01:23:56,198
To all the beautiful women
that brought me here tonight,
1334
01:23:57,241 --> 01:24:02,350
just know that you're your own
fairy godmothers, so,
1335
01:24:02,392 --> 01:24:07,564
keep dreaming your dreams
and creating your magic
1336
01:24:09,440 --> 01:24:11,630
and writing your own happy endings.
1337
01:24:14,133 --> 01:24:15,280
That's all.
1338
01:24:29,669 --> 01:24:31,337
Great party!
1339
01:24:31,379 --> 01:24:32,484
Oh, they loved you!
1340
01:24:32,526 --> 01:24:35,300
They love Nola Devlin
as much as they love Belinda Apple!
1341
01:24:35,404 --> 01:24:36,030
Yeah!
1342
01:24:36,176 --> 01:24:39,679
- Have you guys seen Alex?
- Sorry, honey.
1343
01:24:40,096 --> 01:24:42,494
You know, I thought for sure
he was gonna forgive you.
1344
01:24:43,433 --> 01:24:44,997
Oh, maybe he'll change his mind.
1345
01:24:46,144 --> 01:24:46,978
Maybe.
1346
01:24:48,334 --> 01:24:50,627
All right, I think
I'm going to head home.
1347
01:24:50,669 --> 01:24:51,670
Oh.
1348
01:24:51,983 --> 01:24:53,339
You guys, have fun.
1349
01:24:53,380 --> 01:24:55,945
Well, you know what happens
to Cinderella at midnight.
1350
01:25:05,121 --> 01:25:06,164
No!
1351
01:25:06,623 --> 01:25:08,041
Wait!
1352
01:25:09,396 --> 01:25:10,960
Wait, please! Wait!
1353
01:25:13,504 --> 01:25:15,027
Wait!
1354
01:25:16,591 --> 01:25:19,093
Wait, stop, sir! Please, stop!
1355
01:25:24,307 --> 01:25:27,122
Just perfect.
1356
01:25:27,164 --> 01:25:29,208
You lose something?
1357
01:25:32,649 --> 01:25:35,255
Yeah.
1358
01:25:36,402 --> 01:25:38,801
Yeah. My shoe.
1359
01:25:40,677 --> 01:25:42,659
May I?
1360
01:25:54,441 --> 01:25:56,527
Midnight.
1361
01:25:56,568 --> 01:26:00,385
Isn't that some kind of
defining moment for Cinderella?
1362
01:26:02,679 --> 01:26:09,352
Well, it's the moment where she
turns back into her true self and...
1363
01:26:09,665 --> 01:26:12,751
hopes that Prince Charming will see
through the disguise and forgive her and...
1364
01:26:12,793 --> 01:26:15,504
But just...
one last question for Belinda.
1365
01:26:16,755 --> 01:26:17,485
Yeah?
1366
01:26:18,945 --> 01:26:20,509
Well, there's this girl...
1367
01:26:20,551 --> 01:26:22,907
Ah, well, see?
there's always a girl.
1368
01:26:24,471 --> 01:26:25,931
What's the problem?
1369
01:26:26,869 --> 01:26:29,163
A few days ago,
I poured my heart out to her
1370
01:26:29,205 --> 01:26:31,249
and told her I thought
I was falling in love with her.
1371
01:26:33,126 --> 01:26:34,064
Have you changed your mind?
1372
01:26:34,106 --> 01:26:36,254
No.
1373
01:26:36,567 --> 01:26:38,131
I told her how I feel.
1374
01:26:39,278 --> 01:26:41,363
But she hasn't told me how she feels.
1375
01:26:44,491 --> 01:26:47,724
Well, that's not a problem
1376
01:26:47,765 --> 01:26:50,122
cause I happen to know
she loves you right back.
1377
01:26:55,544 --> 01:26:56,795
Whoo-hoo!
