Who are those people,

and why do they keep taking
our picture?

That's Rolling Stone,
and they're here today

doing a feature
on Bottom Dollar.

I didn't come here to write
about Bottom Dollar or Minx.

I came here to write about you.

There's a whisper campaign that
a good number of our readers

- are homosexuals.
- Isn't it better

if our work is interesting
to all kinds of people?

We have advertisers
that are paying

specifically to reach women.

Tonight,
ladies choose their partners.

Len, I was, um, thinking
about going back to Minx.

Oh. It's about time.

I would like you to consider it

my application
to be your secretary.

But I need you to come up
with more ideas for Minx.

I've gotten everything
I've ever wanted,

and it's happened so fast.

Have you ever
considered that maybe

you are exactly
where you belong?

Ow!

I could've sworn
I set my wake-up call for noon.

Oh.

I can send up the concierge
if you would prefer.

You do know that I have a thing
for a man with a comb-over.

Did I tell you this?

Come here.

I am very late.

I have back-to-back meetings.

You're not gonna look
very professional

without your knickers on,
are you?

Just saying.
Do you want these back?

Mm...

We're shooting the album cover today.

I could use your eye.

If you want to add
another shoot to my schedule,

then I am going to require
payment in advance.

Oh. Well, that can be arranged.

- All right.
- Yeah.

You got five minutes.

- Five minutes?
- Mm-hmm.

Yeah, but what if I want
to, you know...

Okay, 25.

That's three days this week.

43 minutes.
It's my personal best.

I'm telling you,

you gotta try
this jogging thing.

You really do. This is the...

well, it's the healthiest
I've ever felt

in my whole life.

Hey, boss.

I covered your office windows

so no one can sneak a peek of...

...Secret Project X.

Sorry, Rita. It's a secret.

We know.

- Doug?
- Mm?

As your probationary secretary,

can I ask you a question
about Secret Project X?

You can ask me anything.

Um,
does it have to be a secret?

I mean, wouldn't it be more fun

if people knew
what they were excited about?

Well, it's about, you know,
keeping people guessing,

so that's kind of the idea.

Oh, but...

they're not.

Well, maybe not out loud,
Bambs, but...

but inside, they are.

I mean, look at them.

They've got an itch
inside their brains,

and they don't know
how to scratch it.

But none of these people matter
anyhow, right?

We've got an audience of one,

and when Connie sees
what we are cooking up,

we're gonna be writing
our own ticket.

And then I'll officially be
your gal Friday?

Absolutely--we pull this off,

you're gonna get a raise
and benefits.

Yes!

Oh, but can I still do
my own dental?

Yeah, whatever you want.

I can't believe it's real!

It just needs
Bella's signature.

And also, you need to trim
about 100 words

'cause I don't want
to mess with the design.

Oh.

Maybe lose the bit

about Bella finding
the earring?

What?
It's the soul of the piece.

Ugh, you really are a writer.

Yeah!

Oh, it feels great to be back.

I have missed this place.

Aw. Well, we missed you too.

A lot of people here care
about you,

and you sort of disappeared
on us.

Well, I--I needed to figure
some stuff out, you know?

Mm. Like Bella?

And her escapades seem to have
brought some stability.

And adventure.

Yeah, Bella's been
around the block now.

Those San Marino blocks
are long and leafy.

You don't know the half of it.

But Bella started her journey

through some other
neighborhoods too.

Ones with more experimental architecture.

Think she's tempted
to revisit those?

Well, Bella is in
a--a better place

with her husband, Gian-Paul,

and uh, Bella needs to focus
on her work

while at work

and nothing else.

Do you get what I'm saying?
I'm not good at this.

No, I get it.

♪ But I woke up this morning ♪

♪ With that taste
In my mouth ♪

- Oh, what's going on here?
- Oh, nothing.

Just finishing up some stuff
for tonight.

Oh, right.
Your secret special something.

- What time is it again?
- Uh--

Doors open at 8:00.

Don't worry
if you can't make it.

You work hard, you play hard.

You deserve a quiet night in.

No, I can spare 90 minutes.

That's just an estimate.

I didn't factor in
applause breaks.

Okay, you mind heading in
and finishing up?

Yeah. But all good, Prigger.

I mean,
Connie's coming tonight,

and those are really
the only eyes I need,

so honestly,
don't worry about it.

- Uh-uh.
- Okay.

Okay.

- Hey!
- Oh, hi! Mwah!

Oh, both cheeks! That's new.

Maybe I'll use that for Bella.

- Oh, you should!
- Yeah.

Listen, um, I'm just popping in.

I'm gonna drop these off,

and then I'm gonna go meet
Constance in Beverly Hills.

Oh, excuse me.

- Field trip with the boss?
- Mm-hmm.

Somebody's making
an impression.

I think she just wants
to give me notes

on the August issue

in her, you know,
natural habitat.

But anyway,
it's so good that you're back.

Oh, well, it feels great.

Everything got so shiny.

- I know.
- Right?

Oh, did you look
at those revisions?

No, not yet, but I will.

I'm just--you know,
I'm swamped.

There's just--
there's so much going on here,

and--and I--
I'm trying to write my book,

and I have the--the renovations
on the new condo--

And?

Plus crashing at the Margaux, yes,

so I'm just getting no sleep.

Now, is that the hotel's fault

or your rock star boyfriend?

He's not my boyfriend.
He is just--

The famous musician
you're shacking up with.

I cannot believe
this is my life

and not some story
that I'm writing in my head.

It's wild!
It's almost as wild as Bella.

Where do you come up
with that stuff?

Oh, well, actually--

Does my hair look okay,
by the way?

I did not have time
to wash it this morning

because I was having sex.

Yes, yes.

It looks perfect.

I'm here, I'm here,
I'm here, I'm here.

Okay, I hope
you can uh, read my notes.

They got a little bit smudged.

Whiskey and, uh...

...mint chip.

What a Wednesday.

Well, I learned from the best.

Yes, you did.
Okay, I call it...

...Good Clean Fun.

Oh, your dream shoot.

Okay, I am ready.
Tell me everything.

A bathhouse, West Hollywood.

More men that we know
what to do with.

A bathhouse? Very sexy.

Okay, what's the angle?

Okay.

Communal bathing.

Men lounging, reading,
playing board games.

It's an exploration
of the male form

without artifice,
out in the wild.

Huh.

Do you think it might be
too, um...

...straightforward for Minx?

It's real.

You know, actual male desire.

Totally.

Yeah.

It's, uh, it's--
it's very, um...

Maybe I can, um, think on it. Okay.

Richie's been waiting weeks
to pitch this to you.

We've already rescheduled twice.

- We have to pull the trigger.
- Yeah.

I just--I don't see how, um,

this slots into
a women's magazine.

What if, you know,
it's not in a bathhouse?

What if it's the same,

but just, you know,
somewhere else?

Then it would be different.

I think that
we should put a pin in it

and we should think about

something more aspirational, okay?

Our centerfolds
are the ultimate fantasy.

For our female readers.

Sounds like
you have a very clear vision.

Any fixes?

Uh...

...what about backstage?

A-a stolen moment

with a rock star
in his dressing room?

Wow. Lightning strikes.

How'd you come up
with that one?

I guess I'll go find us
a rock star.

Didn't your mama ever teach you
how to turn someone down?

My mother? No.

My mother...

My mother wasn't around
for that kind of stuff.

Not something
you want to talk about?

No, not really.

Well, my mama
is a serious bitch,

and she taught me that

if you don't like something,
you just say no.

- Who says I didn't like it?
- You, in 40 ways.

Body language, tone of voice,
even the way

you keep scratching
the back of your head.

Okay, I feel observed.

You think it's nicer,

but it only makes everything worse.

Just be direct.

By the way, I've looked over
your work expenses.

Mm-hmm?

14 valet stubs
from the Margaux.

I'm living out of a suitcase.

I--I--I need a place to work.

You have an office.

I'm not accepting these.

- Yeah, but I'm staying--
- No.

See how easy that was?

Not a problem.

Bella quivered

as Gian-Paul shivered.

Ooh, that's good.

- Shel.
- Hi, Doug.

Can I talk to you?

That Bella LaRouche stuff
is sexy stuff.

It really is.

I didn't expect it
from a Prigger.

Oh, well, I've always had
a wild imagination.

Imagination--she's married
to an orthodontist

from La Cañada.

It's actually San Marino, so...

Either way, I need a little bit
of that sexiness

on my special project.

My copy could use a spark.

Well,
my spark doesn't come cheap.

How's a hundred bucks
and a peek on the inside?

I'm in.

Shellfish!

You're gonna be working
pretty closely

- with Bambs on this one.
- You know what?

I'm on a deadline, actually,
so I should just--

Oh, come on.
It's an afternoon, and that's--

Well, that's really
all the time we've got.

So I'm gonna lock you two girls
in this room,

and please make some magic.

Magic's on hold.
We have a huge problem.

The archdiocese said we can't
use their venue anymore.

Oh, no.
I guess it's all falling apart.

- I'll just get back to--
- No, no.

Just a little speed bump.
It's a hiccup.

Everything's gonna be
just fine.

I'm so sorry.

You give me one thing to do,

and I already screwed it up.

Oh, Bambi, it's fine.

I'll have a new venue by lunch.

But here's
what I need you girls to do:

just stay in this room
and grind it out

until you make something great
together, okay?

Please.

Sorry, appointment only.

She has one.

- This is Betty, the designer.
- Hi.

My latest discovery.

An all-female staff
confronting the sartorial ennui

of the working women's
wardrobe.

Right. Uh...

okay, well, while I agree

that professional women do need
more clothing options,

I wonder if uh, fashion coverage
is beyond the scope of--

No, we're not here
for the magazine.

We're actually here for you.

I'll grab the second rack.

A little wardrobe rethink.

Multiple racks?

Didn't realize my wardrobe
was so stale.

Oh, you have beautiful style.
You do.

It just needs to catch up
to the woman that you've become

and the magazine that
you've elevated so beautifully.

Okay.
That's very kind.

Thank you, Constance,
but it's--

I actually put a lot of thought
into what I wear.

Right.

Navy suits and pussy bows,
they got you here,

but you do not need
to dress like a man

to earn the respect of one.

Mm-mm.

Not anymore.

Surely, there is something here
that catches your eye.

Huh.

What a figure!

See, I had a feeling.

Y--yeah.

It feels like
a bit of a departure.

No one at your level

is claiming sexuality
and intelligence

with equal confidence.

We can be powerful
and feminine.

Give our girls something
to aspire to.

See, I had to make this all up
as I went along.

And boy, do I have the scars
to prove it.

Let me ease your path a little.

I have loved having you
to look to.

It's not something I'm used to.

And I have really enjoyed

having a smart younger woman
to fuss over.

No one is gonna force you
to do something

that you don't want to do.

Ah.

Why don't you wear this out,
see how you feel?

If you don't like it,
we'll scrap the whole thing.

You know what?

I think we might have room
after all.

Bring back one of those chunky
books for her to read.

Hmm. I call it Backstage Ass.

She's not dumb.
This can't be in the magazine.

Honey, lift up your chin
a little bit.

Less bored, more judgmental.

You don't care how hard
he worked on that song.

You're at 90% fuck you.

You need to bring this thing
down to about ten.

Only 90?

Hey, Danny,
fly in that typewriter.

She wants everyone to know
how busy she is.

Oh, um,
typewriting costs extra.

- Richie?
- Excuse me.

What?

We both know I should be
shooting Bathhouse right now.

She's the boss, remember?

Joyce and I used to have
a dialogue.

Now it feels like a lecture.

I understand your frustration.

If you can't do this concept,
just scrap the shoot.

We'll go with a retrospective.

Easy.

The magazine isn't even
a year old.

That's creative bankruptcy.

Telling your boss to go screw
herself is career suicide.

Don't sweat it.

I already pulled some goofy,
behind-the-scenes shots.

- We can just--
- Stop hurting me.

Okay.

I'll figure it out.

What?

No, I swear.

I thought I was done,
but she kept squealing,

so I shoved both my hands
back inside

and pulled out another piglet.

Oh, my God.

The things that happen to you
on the 405.

Oh, I have missed
these stories.

Oh, my God, and look how fast
the work went.

Is there anything else?
Are we--

- No, I think that's it.
- Okay.

Should we have sex now?

Oh, n--no. Uh, but--no.

I--um, I--
I can't do that again.

I just thought with you coming
back here, just--

Yeah, well, I'm--

Bambi, I'm back,
but we need to be friends.

No more... you know.

- Orgasms.
- Yes, that.

Or any associated behaviors.

That's okay.

I love friends.

Friends are the family
you choose,

and you don't have sex
with family.

Unless it's your stepsibling.

And even then,
you have to keep it a secret

because of
his political career.

I just want you to be happy.

Oh, I am. I'm very happy.

Good.

So am I.

Beautiful, beautiful.

Yeah, you've got
a lot of girls out there

that'll wanna see this.

That's nice. That's great.

That's excellent.

- Groupies are always circling.

They devour everything.

Well, you're just in time

'cause we're all out.

- There you go.
- Mm, thank you.

Um, so...

We're with Graham.

He wanted our eyes on this.

Did he?

And how do you know Graham?

I was at this party

and got invited onstage
to play the shakers.

You don't say?

He told her that
she had the best rhythm

- of any girl he'd ever met.
- Stop.

Joyce, my minx,

you want something
from the kitchen?

We're putting in an order.

- Um--
- Oh, my God.

- You're the Minx lady?
- Mm-hmm.

Oh, my God!

My mom loves your magazine.

Your mom? That is great.

That's so--that's so great.

We have a lot of older,
um, readers.

How old is your mom?

32 next week.

And you're dating Graham?

Uh, would definitely
not say dating.

So what about you?

I mean,

that is a great question.

All the letters I can write

Syllables of velvet,

Where'd you land on the shoot?

Now, am I supposed to find

I haven't been this entertained

Oh, I knew it!

But this is just the start!

I want to start
with medium-size markets,

two troupes,
East Coast, West Coast.

- really just--
- Joyce has some concerns.

Oh, yeah. I saw you.

You seemed to be very concerned
with my pal Xavier.

The show was really fun.

It was acrobatic,

and the men had
impressive physiques.

Oh, these boys have
rock-hard bodies.

It takes real dedication,
and they got it.

I saw you liking it.

You throw a great party.

Oh, thank you.

But I don't want to be
the host of it.

It just--it wasn't Minx.

Well, what are you
talking about, right?

Minx is so much more
than a magazine now.

We can be whatever the fuck
we want, right?

No one at our level

is claiming sexuality
and intelligence

with equal confidence,

and this was one
of those things, but it just--

I don't see a world
where it ever becomes both.

You said you wanted
to be wowed, right?

Well, were you
fucking wowed tonight?

Yes, and as much
as I enjoyed myself,

I have to defer to Joyce.

That was our deal.

But Joyce, you look at that.

What a waste.

You know, I haven't had a boss
since I was 16 years old,

and now I have two,

and one of them
is Joyce fucking Prigger.

I was wondering when
you were gonna figure that out.

I have been busting my ass.

I've been working so hard, Tines.

And what do I have to show
for it?

A Rolls-Royce,
a six-figure deal,

and...
how many Speedos did you buy?

Minimum was 2,000.

I got a little cocky
and bought 4,000.

You could uh, slap a Minx logo

drive up the coast,

so I can get drunk in the car.

Deal.

You never said goodbye.

I was told
not to interrupt the talent.

I made a mistake.

I wanted you there, it's just--
I don't know.

Sometimes--sometimes
I get caught up.

You're a star, Graham.

And you should enjoy that.

I plan on doing the same.

Just not with you.

Come on.

- Don't be mad.

I'll be over here.

- Was that--
- Yeah.
