[MUSIC]

It's all a blur.

[MUSIC]

A hazy, crazy blur.

[MUSIC]

Try, Maxine.

[MUSIC]

All I do is try.

[MUSIC]

All I ever wanted was to belong.

To be a somebody in this world.

[MUSIC]

But there's a catch when a woman wants to be a somebody.

And that catch is everyone else.

[MUSIC]

[MUSIC]

[MUSIC]

[MUSIC]

[MUSIC]

[MUSIC]

It was the beginning of the season.

Those heady months when the wealthiest sand on Palm Beach to mix and

mingle like crabs and a barrel.

[MUSIC]

Question is, which crab bit me?

[MUSIC]

Evelyn Rollins, the self-appointed queen bee, and

stalwart adversary in the fight against pediatric cancer.

Her advocacy made her a superstar.

>> All I'm here of the year, nine years in a row.

>> I am one humble volunteer.

>> Or was it, Dinah Donahue, the ambassador's wife.

>> Have a good day.

See you in the club.

>> She was poised to dethrone Miss Evelyn.

[MUSIC]

If her libido didn't get the better of her.

It could have been any one of the ladies in the shiny sheet.

The widow who was as fizzy and dizzy as a glass of champagne.

[MUSIC]

Or the sugar heiress with 30 million despair and a mobster husband.

[MUSIC]

[MUSIC]

>> I felt all your kisses, I took it.

Now you gotta go over me next to the dream.

>> What else to do?

>> Right.

>> Like some other big stoop.

>> There's an old saw here that goes.

When you first come to Palm Beach, you think you're the oldest and the richest.

And then you realize, you're the youngest and the poorest.

I had only been in Palm Beach two weeks, but I already knew the palm royale,

the most exclusive club in the world, was where I belonged.

Crayops be damned.

[MUSIC]

>> Your brass hopper.

>> Oh, he found the cream to cack out after all.

>> We sent someone out for it.

>> Well, that is what I call going above and beyond.

>> Oh, wait, don't you need me to sign for it?

>> Excuse me?

>> Did I spill?

>> In a manner.

>> You're not going to believe this.

>> Harry said the women stormed into the oak room, demanded a table,

said it was their right.

>> It's a men's only lunch.

>> I'm all for segregation of the sexes, private spaces for our private faces, I say.

>> If this is the state of the feminine world in 1969, can you imagine what 1970 will bring?

>> Communists, ladies, a country can fall.

Nothing of beauty is safe.

>> Nothing of beauty is safe.

>> Palm Beach is the last American sanctuary, ladies.

It goes to hell, unclean, to Capri, and this country can lose my number.

>> I long for a kinder, gentler time when a woman's capacity to humiliate herself wasn't

so bottomless.

>> So true.

>> This is Nixon way, then, said women are rehab people rights.

They simply need to choose to exercise them.

>> Exactly.

Did you know she was a teacher?

>> Yeah.

>> Pat Nixon.

>> Before becoming first lady, a teacher.

>> Fascinating.

>> She lifted herself up from that lonely station all the way to the White House.

>> A marble, Mrs. Rollins.

>> You know my name.

>> Of course I do.

You're in the shiny sheet.

All y'all are.

Read about you every day.

Your family to me.

Mrs. David Saul.

>> Oh.

Mrs. Donna Hugh.

Mrs. Kimberly Marco.

>> We don't know you.

>> I'm Maxine Simmons, charmed.

>> I'm not interrupting, am I?

>> Actually, I loved what you said about the death of gentility.

I mourn.

I mourn.

>> They certainly live in opportunistic times.

>> Hear, hear.

>> Where were we?

Ladies, let's raise a glass to the fettin of our dear Diana.

>> Oh.

>> Pleasure.

>> To the volunteer of the year, our very best friend and pediatric cancer's worst enemy.

>> Don't make me blush, Evelyn.

>> Oh, who's doing your gown for the ball?

>> Raymond, for seal Chapman, as one does.

But it isn't about the gown or the party.

>> It's not my night.

It's cancer's night.

>> Yes.

>> To be honest, I really thought it was going to be Evelyn's year.

Again, we all did.

I may not be volunteer of the year, but that only opens up my calendar to rise to a higher

station.

>> Oh, thank you.

>> What do you want to talk about?

>> You're always here to talk about it.

>> Oh, well, thank you.

>> Do you mind if I just finish monitoring this concert went through Quadon or do you a common

gathering during the cream de cacao?

>> I will allow you your dignity another four seconds.

But that kind of serve will drag you out by your toenails.

He's a veteran of Korea.

He can do things.

>> Thank you for your service, soldier.

>> How did you get past security?

>> I came in the back.

>> There are no doors on the back of the palm Raya.

>> I never said I used the door.

I used the wall.

>> Oh, it's athletic.

>> My athleticism is just one of my many positive attributes that would make me a wonderful addition

to the roster of members here at the palm Raya.

>> You will never be a member of the palm Raya.

>> It's a ha bar, I know.

But one I could surely reach just given the chance.

>> As you know, to even start the membership process, I need another member to nominate me.

And how can I get that if I can't get to know anybody?

>> I'm just a really nice person new to Palm Beach looking to make a friend or two.

The palm Raya represents safety in a rapidly changing world, embodying that which is sacred.

>> Refined companionship, sanctity, and a deep heart conviction that beauty is not dead.

>> Okay, stand up.

Robert will take your picture.

>> You will not regret this.

>> Come on.

>> Promise.

Thank you.

>> You want to do this?

>> Okay.

Oh my gosh.

So exciting.

Okay.

No, no, wait, no, how about this?

[MUSIC]

>> It's the grand ballroom.

So much bigger than it is in pictures, while on this very dance floor, Marjorie, Maryweather

post refused the advances of one Joseph Kennedy, father to the deceased president.

>> This one, please.

>> Good.

>> Someone making a grand crack or a crumb?

>> So are you.

>> Top of the morning, pal.

>> Okay.

>> Okay.

>> All right.

Well, okay.

Until next time.

>> Oh, not.

>> Well, Robert, I hardly knew you.

>> Ever since my pageant days, I've maintained a posture of relentless positivity.

When I was doing pageants, the other contestants would always underestimate me.

The same seemed true for the entire aisle of Palm Beach.

The ladies who ruled it all vying for a shot at being one thing.

[MUSIC]

Queen of the season.

[MUSIC]

But soon they'd love me.

Soon these old money mavens would see my value and affirm what I've always known.

[MUSIC]

That I belong.

[MUSIC]

One simply must trust that the path to personal glory will reveal itself if one remains resolutely sunny.

[MUSIC]

>> Right now.

[MUSIC]

>> I'm so glad we're the same size Norma.

This one was a real hit.

>> Oh, a range of print maxi.

Dara?

Dara, I do.

These are some impressive bobbles Norma.

[MUSIC]

>> Gucci croc clutch, should I?

Yes, I should.

[MUSIC]

>> Satisfied this great desire right now.

>> Right now.

>> It's my man, it's a place.

Right now.

[MUSIC]

>> You are too good to me Norma.

[MUSIC]

>> I'll have these back by tomorrow.

It's a scorcher out there.

The weather lady said you could take an egg and actually fry it on the asphalt.

I might just try it.

>> Okay.

[MUSIC]

>> I'm gonna make you so proud.

You get some rest.

[MUSIC]

>> Love her, you can be right now.

>> Right now.

>> Come and give yourself to me.

[MUSIC]

>> True at the present moment, I found myself in less than stellar accommodations.

But this was merely a temporary base of operations until I stepped into my destiny.

[MUSIC]

>> This I took office four months ago.

Nothing has taken so much of my time and energy.

It's the search for a way to bring lastly peace to you.

I know that some believe that I should have ended the war immediately after the inauguration.

[MUSIC]

>> I've tried to present the facts about Vietnam, but complete honest.

I shall continue to do so in my report to the American people.

[MUSIC]

>> Hiya.

Have a moment for your sucks.

Pardon, excuse me.

>> Maybe you've heard monumental changes in the air and you're a part of it.

I'm Linda Shaw, Maxine.

Maxine.

>> Yeah, you are, I'm part of a group of women dedicated to raising the collective consciousness of the global sisterhood.

>> I love that.

>> Yeah.

>> I do have a nail appointment.

>> I would love a couple minutes of your time to ask you about yourself.

>> Got me?

>> Yeah.

>> Oh.

>> Fire away.

>> Do you work, Maxine?

>> God, no.

>> You want to work.

>> God, no.

>> I'm not dying inside.

>> You've heard of the problem that has no name?

>> Since it has no name, no.

>> Betty Friedan coined it.

Unhappy women have been immersing themselves with the idea that they're not supposed to have any ambition outside their own home.

>> Here, it's an invitation to our Thursday circle.

You should come.

>> Our bodies are shelves.

>> It's a bookstore.

Safe space dedicated to lifting the underserved, the woman, the woman of color, the native woman, and all types of sexualities.

>> I do appreciate your spiel.

We're heading into charity season.

My time is simply not my own.

>> Maxine, are you not aware that all women are fighting for their very right to exist?

>> Honestly, I think you're being a little dramatic and kind of presumptuous.

You look well fed, and I mean that in a nice way.

You're clearly educated, plus you're an American.

>> Do you want to know what I see when I look at you, Linda?

I see a vibrant woman whose only limitation is the lack of imagination for herself.

But I do hope you have a fabulous party.

>> Truly.

>> What color does one wear when being fed for volunteerism?

When the entire town is raising its glass to you?

>> What color is the dress?

>> No dress yet, just muse and aloud, Mitzi.

>> Lots of ladies are digging zimbliss pink.

For pink?

It's really a neutral.

>> I love that.

Let's try it.

>> Did you see the shiny sheet this morning?

It's an Evelyn Rollins poised to roll the town to spot setback.

>> I'm not a reader.

>> Mitzi, I'm disappointed.

Don't you want to grow up someday and not work?

>> I'm going to model.

>> Been studying on my free Saturdays at the Barbizon.

>> Well, just don't take on too much debt with your education.

[MUSIC]

>> Why, it's the fitted volunteer at a Cuban restaurant.

>> What in the age is Donna Donahue doing in West Palm Beach?

>> What do you think they're talking about?

>> That is all the markings of a lover's quarrel.

>> How do you know?

>> Don't you see the way he knocked over that chair?

That is passion for you if I've ever seen it.

>> There he goes, storming off.

>> Oh, this isn't good.

>> Oh, look at her, she's crushed.

>> Now she's slumping over her car.

[MUSIC]

>> Mitzi, it's an opening and a path to personal glory.

[MUSIC]

>> Poor Donna was distraught.

I couldn't very well just saddle up on her like a perfect stranger.

Sure, she was in pain, but if I confronted her vulnerability publicly,

she'd never let me into her confidence.

It had to be done very carefully.

>> The introduction, discrete.

[MUSIC]

[MUSIC]

[MUSIC]

[MUSIC]

>> Are you all right?

This is all my fault.

>> No, I'm fine.

It's just a scratch.

>> A scratch, I convex your bumper.

You must allow me to pay for the damage.

>> No, please, I couldn't accept that.

>> We've met before, yes?

>> This is Simmons, was it?

>> It was, it is.

>> Yes, please, I'd feel much better if you'd take Simmons.

>> No, how about just about me lunch instead?

>> You're forehead, it's hemorrhaging.

>> What?

>> We must hail an ambulance.

>> No, please, I don't want to cause any attention.

Maybe you could just drive me to the emergency room?

>> I will do you one better and I will take you to my personal physician.

>> If you insist, it's amazing that you could get me in here so fast.

I really appreciate it.

>> It is the least, honestly.

Dr. Prescott is on the pediatric cancer board with me.

Our families have known each other going back some 75 years.

>> My grandmother is his mother's second cousin removed.

>> That is quite a connection.

>> Do you have family maxi?

>> Yes, my husband.

>> He's a pilot.

>> A well decorated airman.

Very well known.

Pilot circles.

And he's the only scion of a plastic and mouthwash fortune.

>> Plastics and mouthwash?

>> Mm-hmm.

>> Well, there's only one family in both plastics and mouthwash.

>> Mm-hmm.

>> Is he a Delacorte?

>> Yes, yes he is.

>> Should have led with that.

>> Well, I'm new to Palm Beach.

>> I've been gathered.

>> I didn't want to come off-tech.

>> I've only been here myself going on three seasons.

>> Look at how far you've come.

Faded in year three.

>> It's been a hasty rise.

What do you say after this?

You and I go grab a couple of Cobb salads.

I would love to bend your ear about potentially joining the club.

>> Nice and happy, honest.

>> I feel terrible for the position I've put you in.

But I fear friendship between us simply won't be in the cards.

>> Why not?

It wouldn't be the thing.

That's all.

>> It's lonely being the new girl, Donna.

You should know that.

>> If I were to sponsor you, the initiation fee is $30,000 with another 500 and monthly's.

Be honest, do you have that kind of money, Maxine?

>> Gee, I'm a wee insulted.

>> Maxine, your clutch is from Gucci's 1960 collection.

It's lovely, certainly quality, but I'm sad to say it gives you away.

>> Kina, to what do I owe the pleasure, kiddo?

>> Hello, Percy.

Oh, Maxine here is feeling off after a minor traffic something.

>> Let's take a look.

>> Oh.

>> Okay.

>> To what happens, will you?

>> Donna plowed into my Belvedere.

>> Donna, you were involved in this accident?

>> She was.

>> I'm absolutely fine.

>> After I'm done with Maxine, I'm giving you a full once over.

>> That won't be necessary.

>> I insist.

>> You should listen to him, Donna.

He's right.

What if they're extenuating circumstances on your internal organs?

>> I said no.

>> I agree with Maxine, Donna.

You're here.

Let's be on the safe side.

>> I don't want to be examined.

>> I'll give you a sedative.

>> I don't want you sedative.

I would like to leave.

Please, Maxine, would you hurry the fuck up?

Please.

>> Donna, you're hysterical.

Now I insist you take a sedative.

>> Take care of this.

It's nothing a little girl can't fix.

>> Okay.

>> You okay in there?

>> Donna, honey, he's your doctor.

You've said he's family.

Why won't you let him take a look at you?

>> I have a feeling this outburst doesn't have anything to do with the accident, does it?

>> No.

>> I'm an amazing listener.

>> That's very kind, but...

>> No, but listen, Donna, Donna, I don't know any of the people that you know.

So you have some to get off your chest.

Well, I'm your gal.

Let me in.

>> Fuck.

>> Thank you.

>> That's okay.

Just tell me everything.

Don't leave anything out.

I can't have it, of course.

>> Well, just pass it off as your husband's.

That's what my friend Chrissy back in Atlanta did.

>> It might come out the wrong color for that particular ruse.

>> There's a doctor in San Juan who takes care of these things.

My friend, Heather Quincy Moneypenny, has availed herself of him multiple times, but both his discretion and forceps are questionable.

Well, still, there's your answer.

I can't just disappear.

Harry arrives for the season on Friday, the ball is Saturday, and then there'll be no getting away.

>> I don't mean to push, but there's another option.

Have it.

Go with your Cuban.

You love him.

>> He's the tennis pro at the club, Maxine.

>> It's romantic.

>> Romance.

Here's what I've known of romance.

>> My first husband was a real rake.

His hefty trust fund fanned the flames of his incorrigibility, and when I committed the unforgivable sin of turning 30, he found another, and I ended up with a park avenue floor through and a hefty settlement.

>> And now?

>> Here I am with Harry.

>> And six months north of 40.

In one of these years soon, I predict.

He will move on.

I will be traded in for some gamming widow whose lost her husband in that tragic sailing accident.

And when that happens, the Palm Beach Estate and my jewelry collection will keep me company

until some old codger and oil decides that he's lonely and that I won't embarrass him at parties.

I'm at peace with the knowledge that my marriage will fail, but I could never initiate its demise.

I would lose everything if I did.

So you see, only the poor can afford to know romance.

>> Well, that's certainly true for me.

I mean, I don't need to suggest that I'm poor.

>> Hmm.

>> I'm rich in love.

>> I believe in love above all else.

>> Love is a lie.

>> And what is it?

>> It is.

>> It isn't.

>> It is.

>> It isn't.

>> I should get you home.

>> No.

No, you've done too much already.

Please.

>> There's no need to be proud of me, Maxine.

I do hope we're past that.

[MUSIC]

>> Ah.

You live here?

>> No, only until the house is ready.

>> Thank you, Maxine, for everything today.

>> Maybe we can do it again tomorrow.

>> Get into a car accident, teleperfect stranger, all my secrets.

>> Break a man's heart.

I can't say I'm going to do any of it again.

I guess I meant the friendship part.

I'm new in town, and I'm so, so lonely.

>> You're very good at making things awkward.

You must work a lot.

>> I didn't mean to say anything to make you uncomfortable.

>> And yet here we are.

>> Yes.

[SOUND]

[SOUND]

>> I can find you something closer that works with your deadline.

>> You would do that for me.

>> I'm very resourceful.

And oh, so discreet.

[SOUND]

>> Simone de Beauvoir wrote in the second sex.

One is not born, but rather becomes woman.

>> Linda and I have discovered three cultural notions of femininity.

>> Women as inferior, she is not worthy of equal pay because she's lesser than, burned alive.

[SOUND]

>> Woman as passive, she leaves the politics to her husband and can't be bothered getting off the couch.

Beheaded.

[SOUND]

>> Woman as a beautiful object.

She is the locus of desire, a body to be plundered.

She self-destructs.

[SOUND]

>> Let's take a moment.

>> Stay in this.

>> With open-eyed silence.

>> Look at a partner.

>> Don't be afraid to cry.

>> Give him, right.

>> Linda.

>> Oh, Maxine.

>> Hi, I'm glad you're here.

>> Listen, listen.

>> We have a sister in need.

>> Okay.

>> We're just in, what a beautiful table scape.

>> That's our Linda.

>> Mm, we're in the middle of a ritual and we're communicating through the eyes.

[SOUND]

My friend needs an abortion.

>> It was Lauren.

[SOUND]

>> I met a friend Norma, an honest goodness friend.

She's a member of the social set and honoree at that.

>> Can you believe it?

[SOUND]

I don't know what sounds of crass when I say it out loud.

But I know that you know I have a vast amount of love in my life, a vast amount.

[SOUND]

Just hanging on gets harder as the years pass.

I'm trying to do it with a smile or my, I really am.

I'm just tired.

Stop it, Maxine.

Pity is for the pitiful.

[SOUND]

Norma, why don't you have anything from this decade?

[MUSIC]

I wish we were the same shoe size.

[MUSIC]

You are hanging in there, aren't you Norma?

Honestly, you are an inspiration.

[MUSIC]

I am the only one that ever visits you, you know.

[MUSIC]

See you tomorrow.

[MUSIC]

Make sure it's taken care of.

[MUSIC]

I'll be back tomorrow.

[MUSIC]

She had no idea anyone had eyes on her.

She looked so, I don't know.

Human.

[MUSIC]

Stolen?

They won't be missed.

Are they stolen?

The family's really struggling right now, so I think they'll part with them for the

right price.

I give you 20 for the lot.

$20?

$20,000?

Are there more where these came from?

There's a lot of struggling in the family at this moment.

[MUSIC]

[MUSIC]

[MUSIC]

Here you are.

Thank you.

[MUSIC]

Heaven must be missing an angel.

[MUSIC]

Gream.

Have any of the other ladies been in?

They have, but you are the honoree.

I wouldn't let you recede.

What is Evelyn wearing?

Sleeves.

[MUSIC]

You're a terrible graven.

Evelyn's doing her best to keep up.

She's slipping.

Her husband has had her on a real roller coaster in and out of hospice all these years.

I guess he's simply on his last leg.

Opportunities for a sense?

Mm, that's wrong.

Gream.

She said she had her sights set on something higher.

The only thing higher than pediatric cancer is the beach ball, and we all know that's not

happening this year.

The end of an era.

It's just so sad, isn't it?

I hate to be the one to rush this along, but we have to go meet a friend for tea.

Yes.

Yes, Graman.

I'll send someone for it on Thursday.

It will be ready.

Bye, Graman.

[MUSIC]

Wow.

I appreciate you not saying anything in front of Graman.

He's a gossip of the worst sort, but my word can hate you right.

Can hate you right?

We all have our place.

Yeah.

[MUSIC]

Maxine, I do love Eddie.

Understand, I can't have his child.

Of course you can't.

And he can never know about this.

It would kill him.

He won't.

Don't worry.

[MUSIC]

Do you read the shiny sheet?

No.

You should.

Well, the women in those pages have no identity.

No worth.

No impact.

Those women are credit to their sex.

The reason great money for good causes and look good while doing it.

Forgive my language, but I don't concern myself with the shenanigans of vapid poons.

Linda didn't want to come?

Linda finds women like your friend.

Very trickery.

Dinette.

She'll be okay, won't she?

She'll be fine.

And who are these women anyway?

I didn't even bother to ask.

They're all nurses.

An underground collective.

The doctor lets them use this place after hours.

It's honestly the best you can do in Florida.

That's clean and that's safe as money concurrently by.

She's a new friend.

I just want to make sure she's okay.

Maxie, you're a feminist.

[LAUGHING]

Me?

[LAUGHING]

Which one's going to look out for her over the next couple of days?

It's me.

I'm not as normal, but keep an eye out for excessive bleeding and fever.

If anything does go wrong, which it shouldn't, you are never here.

Technically, you're a fugitive, so zip it.

Right on, sister.

No.

That'll be a thousand.

Cash.

Dinette didn't pay you?

Honestly, that seems like a lot.

We work on a sliding scale.

You look like you can afford it.

That is so kind.

[LAUGHING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

It's so peaceful.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Ah.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Got it?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

I keep thinking about how beautiful what could have been could have been.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

But this was right.

Of course.

[LAUGHING]

You might be the only true friend I've ever had.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Nothing.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Honestly, I feel tip-top like none of it ever happened.

Oh.

Ooh.

You're good.

What you mind running to seals to pick up the gown for Saturday?

I called Graham and he's expecting you.

Don't you have people for that?

I have you, my pal.

Oh.

I'm so glad to feel that way.

[LAUGHS]

I don't want to be on coups, but since you're feeling sweller

than expected, I was thinking maybe you would reconsider

sponsoring me.

I'm not going to sponsor you, Maxine.

I have the money.

I do.

Yes.

Delacorte millions.

I never told you how Douglas and I met.

He have plastics and mouthwash.

He was a judge at the Miss Chattanooga pageant.

You don't say.

Anywho, I was a finalist.

I'd already gone through, evening gown, swimsuit,

and that was time for the interview portion.

Oh, this was a category.

I usually excel that.

This time, the question flat outs taught me,

what is your greatest flaw?

I mean, it's the kind of question that pageant girls are

supposed to answer with deprecating humor

while still acknowledging the ones appeal.

You know, like, my sister says I'm too generous

for my own good or some such.

But I honestly couldn't think of one flaw.

So I said so.

I was honest.

I said, look, I'm pretty darn happy with who I am.

And I lost.

I went into interview with high marks.

But because I thought too much of myself

and I refused to lie, I was destroyed.

Douglas was the only judge that thought it was a good answer.

He voted with the other judges against me,

but do you want to know why?

Because if I would have won,

I would have gone on to Miss Tennessee and then Miss America.

And I would have belonged to the world.

And Douglas wanted me to belong to him.

I have lost the thread here, Maxine.

I'm asking you to help me belong.

Well, why do you want it so badly?

Why do you?

You don't know what it's like to be a real person, Donna.

Scary of anything.

Real.

If you take a right out of the drive,

three estates over the Delacorte mansion,

but you knew that, of course.

Actually, I did.

And did you know that the owner of that estate

hosts the annual beach ball?

I did.

Of course I did.

And did you know that there will be no beach ball this year, Maxine?

Because the last Delacorte is at Death Store.

And I assure you that when she goes,

that will be the end of the beach ball

and the end of the Delacorts.

You are a liar, Maxine.

But you said I was the only two friends you've ever had.

I never said any such thing.

I'd like you to leave, please.

Now who's the liar?

You are, Jesus.

You are, Jesus.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[SIGHS]

[SIGHS]

[SIGHS]

[SIGHS]

[SIGHS]

I had hoped to sit on her one last time,

but I suppose I'm forced to wait for the shiny sheet.

I hope she makes a showing.

She will.

Graham?

Oh.

Hello.

Should Mrs. Donna, you call you if she needs any adjustments?

My clients are free to call me any time, day on night.

Mrs. Donna, who knows that?

I'm sure she'll be fine.

[SIGHS]

Why wouldn't she be?

I certainly didn't mean to suggest anything.

I think you did.

Graham, it is so great to know that Donna has your support

during these difficult days.

Oh, of course.

And as her friend, I'm so very reassured by that.

[SIGHS]

Mrs. Rollins is waiting.

You should see to her on-sest.

But as president of the United States,

I would be untrue to my oath of office,

if I allowed the policy of this nation to be dictated

by the minority who hold that point of view,

and who try to impose it on the nation

by mounting demonstrations in the street.

[KNOCKING]

Oh, yes.

Come in.

Oh, she's done it.

Oh.

Come in.

That's my dress.

Oh, I was just trying it on for size.

I'll take it off.

Why did Graham and Evelyn Rollins bring the abasket

of cupcakes from Ganesh?

Oh.

I don't follow.

In Palm Beach, Ganesh Cupcakes are reserved for the sick.

But you're not sick.

Someone gave them the idea of us.

Oh.

Oh, look at that.

I've been so stupid.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Did you manage to put them off?

What else did you tell them?

Nothing.

Please, believe me.

I'm not the kind of woman that would ever betray another woman.

I'm a feminist.

You're a bitch.

I really don't like the way that you're talking to me right now.

Dana, I'm not nothing.

I'm a person of tremendous value to you.

Is any part of you real?

What is that supposed to mean?

Oh, hi, Don.

Oh.

Why aren't you looking snazzy?

Why aren't you looking snazzy?

Why aren't you looking snazzy?

Why aren't you looking snazzy?

Why aren't you looking snazzy?

Why aren't you looking snazzy?

Why aren't you looking snazzy?

Why aren't you looking snazzy?

Why aren't you looking snazzy?

Why aren't you looking snazzy?

Why aren't you looking snazzy?

Why aren't you looking snazzy?

Why aren't you looking snazzy?

Why aren't you looking snazzy?

Why aren't you looking snazzy?

Why aren't you looking snazzy?

Why aren't you looking snazzy?

Why aren't you looking snazzy?

Why aren't you looking snazzy?

Why aren't you looking snazzy?

Why aren't you looking snazzy?

Why aren't you looking snazzy?

A pilot.

And a Delacorte.

Why don't you go in there and wash your paws

and have some meatloafs in it?

Mmm. I mean...

That...

That is what I hope for you.

Real love.

I know how much your station means to you.

The financial value of your marriage.

And I don't want to make this awkward.

Donna, I want to be a good friend to you.

Honestly, you're just making it really hard for me.

Thirty thousand dollars.

Welcome to the club, Mrs. Simmons.

Mrs. Delacorte.

I just want you to know how happy I am to be here.

And that Donna would vouch for my character.

You're a grasshopper.

Thank you, soldier.

Didn't think I could do it, did you?

I'll be at the bar if you need anything else.

Robert, don't underestimate a Delacorte.

I wouldn't have.

How long do you think she'll last?

She's toast.

I told you I'd make you proud.

I did it.

I really did it.

(Sighs)

Thank you.

She's positively glowing.

I'd like to share this with the good women of Palm Beach

who know better than anyone

that charity does indeed begin at home.

(Applause)

(Music)

You were born for this.

Aw, thanks, babe.

Douglas, I couldn't be more surprised to see you.

Eveline, it's been too long.

Yes, it has.

Eveline, this is my wife, Maxine.

I believe we met last week.

You didn't tell me who you were, darling, you should have.

You know now.

Be a love, Douglas Fetch, we girls from Champers.

Of course.

You two behave.

(Laughs)

Two.

It was always such a lovely boy.

Lovely and...

Wayward.

It's positively such a beautiful night.

Isn't it?

Diana looked absolutely smashing, didn't she?

You know, in the end, I suppose it was right that they honored her instead of me.

She certainly was the more charitable of the two of us, but of course you already know that.

Excuse me?

She sponsored you.

And I would never, ever after what you did.

How didn't you do anything to Diana?

Not Diana, Norma.

You don't think I know what's going on?

Douglas was the apple of her eye.

She had such high hopes for him.

Instead, he was tricked by an also-ran pageant queen.

You don't belong here.

What happened, Maxine?

I have no memory of the incident in question.

And that other makes everyone else liars.

[music]

Norma.

I snapped.
