"Previously on "Cashmere mafia"." "he's a little intense and focused, and you want that in your brain surgeon, but as a date, I just get enough stress at work." "Every hotel must be worthy of the gerard dumais name." "I just e-mailed everyone," he's a pompous little bastard." "" From now on,we have a problem, we communicate directly." "Gorham just named clayton senior managing director." "The only people who get promoted around here are men." "I don't like what you're insinuating." "I quit." "catch me if you can." "hey,you got longer legs!" "That was a great warm-up." "you wanna go again?" "Well,someone's got a lot of pent-up energy." "You should see me on more than five hours of sleep." "Hey,do you wanna get some breakfast?" "Oh,I can'T." "How about lunch?" "It'd have to be at the hospital." "I only have 45 minut between rounds." "If you promise we can,uh,eat on those little cafeteria trays with those sporks." "we could skip lunch altogether and go check out the janitor's closet." "You are making that up just to impress me." "I could come over after, but it'd be close to midnight." "Great." "I'm at my best after midnight." "well,that is irrefutable." "Booty call from a brain surgeon?" "You don't get that every day." "We'll figure it out,okay?" "Let's meet up later." "Bye." "another headhunter?" "No,it was juliet." "Len dinerstein-- he's this corporate raider-- he's making a move on her company." "And you're supposed to be catching uon ten years of sleep deficit." "I just clocked eight hours." "Which is hardly a dent." "And she needs me." "You need to recharge." "And you've earned it." "I know." "I will.I just." "I'm kinda rusty at this whole unemployed thing." "Think of yourself as a lady of leisure." "Yeah,as soon as I get a moment." "So I'm gonna get the kids ready for school." "Adam handles that." "Well,th gotta brush their teeth, take their vitamins." "Which they always do." "Gotta make sure luke doesn't forget his spanish workbook." "Zoe,it's all covered." "Relax." "I just slept eight whole hours." "I couldn't be more relaxed." "See ya." "Hey,what are you doing today?" "I'm just asking." "Top secret government project." "Can't talk about it." "Love you." "Once again,I have not spoken with mr.Dinerstein and cannot comment on his intentions beyond complimenting him on his investment savvy for taking such a large position in our company." "Thank you." "so what do you know about him?" "Len dinerstein buying up 5 million shares is him wanting to take a closer look." "You're a mail der bride, and he just paid your airfare over." "You've got time for exercise now." "I don'T." "Tear me off a little piece and put the rest away." "So what do we do?" "Okay,your board has a few options." "There's the pac-man defense, where you reverse course and acquire the would-be buyer." "Seeing as his net worth is somewhere around a couple of billion, that might be difficult." "Right." "Or there's the lobster trap, where you block individuals who have more than 10% ownership from transferring securities to voting stock." " Or there's the nancy reagan defense - just say no?" "Yeah,it's actually an official and quite often successful tactic." "Any thoughts on the best way to send him the message?" "Face to face,aggressive as hell." "If guys like that smell fear,they pounce." "So I ask for a meeting?" "No,no,you won't have to ask." "He's gonna wanna check out his bride as soon as he can." "Can we find another metaphor?" "He's gonna wanna kick your tires and take you for a test drive." "I'll call you." "Hey!" "Bye!" "Get me more of these mock-ups right away." "That ungrateful little meeskait."

"Some icelandic upstart that no one's ever heard of." "Fase with an "S." "" Did he say why?" "Some crap about the new new thing." "This is your fault." "What?" "I have been talking to his marketing people for months!" "I never heard this-- you're supposed to anticipate this." "An icelandic hostile makeover?" "This is fashion week." "We are on the outside looking in." "Fix it." "I'm sure tuesday would be better." "There you are." "Mia,thank god you're here." "I have to pull this cover." "Ug i need ten minutes and a tranquilizer before I can deal with one of your crises." "Who's this?" "wylie jim." "I found him crossing 7th avenue." "He was almoshit by the m21." "Hi,wylie jim." "Aren't you gorgeous." "Do you want him?" "Me?" "Aren't you keeping him?" "Please,I'd love to,but six dogs is just weird." "You should take him." "No,I couldn'T." "Why can't you?" "Because my personal life right now is like." "rtelo Laguardia in a snowstorm-- arrivals and departures all screwed up." "So just foster him, just for a couple of days until the shelter finds him a permanent home." "all right." "Hi,wylie." "Do you wanna come home with me,huh?" "Oh,he kinda has stinky breath." "Ciao." "Mi chiami zoe." "Come ti chiami?" "Hey,you learning italian?" "Uh,yeah." "It's always been on the list." "you know,of things I wanted to do." "Plus sasha expressed an interest, so,you know," "I thought it might be fun thing for us to do together." "Allora,se hai bisogno di ato,mi chiedi, perch?" "italiano ?" "la lingua pi bella nel mondo." "You speak italian?" "I picked up a little here and there." "Uh,so I hope stir-fry is okay for dinner." "Actually,I printed out a recipe for sausage lasagna I really wanted to try." "No problem." "We'll just try stir-fry tomorrow night." "Actually,I,uh,I sort of printed out dinner for the next three nights." "You are certainly on it." " Whoa.God." " Yeah^^." "All right,uh, then I'll go pick up some supplies for sasha's "go green" project." "Oh.Right.Yeah.That sounds fun." "I'll do it." "You know,mommy job." "What is it?" "Well,sasha and I talked about testing if plants will grow in other liquids besides water." "Oh,we can do better than that." "what is it,clayton?" "Zoe,hey,just checking in." "How's it goin'?" "Never been happier." "Hanging up now." "Oh,wait,wait,wait,wait,come on." "Give me 30 seconds." "About what?" "Okay,I just have a couple questions about the tate deal." "Really hanging up no" "gerard,you entered into an agreement with me to brand a chain of hotels under our umbrella on a schedule,on a budget." "Yes,but not with an architect who doesn't inspire me." "We've just signed a contract." "There's a substantial kill fee if we should change course." "I changed my mind." "You can't just snap your fingers and undo everything because you're not inspired." "We've committed." "Then uncommit me." "Is that a word?" "We need to find somebody else." "I'll tell the attorneys to pay out his contract." "Is that all?" "I have len dinerstein's people walking in here any moment." "His people can wait." "I need you to set up a new round of meetings with a completely new type of architect someone younger,hungrier." "Someone." "irr?" "encieux,you know?" "Yes,irreverent,and who also happens to specialize in the restorati of 19th-century cast-iron buildings." "Should be a snap." "your 4:00." "Good-bye,gerard." "Juliet,len dinerstein." "Mr.Dinerstein,I wasn't expecting you." "I mean,I was expecting your people, but not actually you." "Uh,len dinerstein,gerard dumais." "You own the bastia hotel in miami." "Among others." "My daughter likes to stay there." "Hopefully,next time you will join us as well." "I don't see that going anywhere valuable." " See what going - you guys and dumais." "His business model is driven by the whims of second-rate celebrities and eurotrash hangers-on." "The only constant is that the core consumer is fickle." "His numbers and growth are anything but." "I'm looking forward." "But it is just one man's opinion." "But when that man is len dinerstein, well-- don't flatter me,juliet." "We're talking about a man who's never actually run a service business, a man who either takes a company's stock for a ride or buys the company to break it up for parts." "Listen to you." "Our board understands that we know our brand better than anybody, and they trust me to do my job." "I'm pretty sure with all your money, you wouldn't wanna be stuck battling with me on a daily basis" "I don't know." "Battling with you on a daily basis might be fun." "What do I have to do to get you off of stanton hall?" "I've taken a position because I think your stock is undervalued." "Do you wanna convince me that it's not?" "Point taken." "I'm only looking to create more value." "You don't have to fear anytng from me." "That would be a pleasant surprise." "I'd imagine there are a lot of things about me you'd be surprised at." "Really?" ""Billionaire" is not a character profile." "It's just a word that goes next to my name these days." "I never thought of it that way." "Listen,you've made it clear that you don't want this company in play." "What about you?" "Re you in play?" "so that's what you're up to." "If that was the case, this meeting would have cost me $34 million." "No,the interest in stanton hall is genuine, as is my curiosity about you." "Dinner?" "Sure." "I'll be in touch." "wylie,fetch." "Oh,wylie,see,I bring you the ball, pick it up, and you bring it back to me,okay?" "Let's try again." " hi!" " hey!" "Is it too late?" "No,not at all." "Sorry." "There was a complication, and I had to stick around." "You know,if you're too tired-- no,not at all.Are you hungry?" "You want something to eat?" "I've got leftovers." "No,I'm okay." "Where did that come from?" "Come here." "You've gotta meet wylie." "Wylie,this is jason." "Jason,this is wylie." "I'm fostering for a couple ofays." "Isn't he great?" "Why isn't he moving?" "I don't know." "Wylie?" "Come to mama." "Come on!" "what's that smell?" "Oh,he's got a little halitosis issue come on!" "listen,if this is a bad time." "no,no,what are you talking about?" "Sit." "Are you talking to me or the dog?" "I am talking to you." "Cashmere Mafia Season 1 Episode 7 asleep?" "Please tell me he at least groped you a little." "Very little." "give the guy a break." "He's just done some grueling procedure wi an unpronounceable name." "Yeah,I know,but between surgeries, teaching and life." "I think I see him maybe once a week." "Oh,come on." "You're busy,too." "That's the point." "It's just,it's so much work right now." "I just wanna jump to the part where we know each other's stoes and--and weird habits, and I could just give him a hard time about, you know,falling asleep when we're about to have sex." "She wants married life after three weeks." "No,I just want it to be easy right now." "I just wanna come first." "Don't we all?" "hey,sorry." "Hey,you look nice." "I'm trying to pull off a fashion week miracle." "In 48 hours, every cosmetics company in the country is gonna have a ek's worth of free publicity except lily parrish, which is,of course,somehow my fault." "So what are you gonna do?" "I don't know." "I've tried every major designer." "We've been completely shut out." "I need to find somebody undiscovered who I can prop up as the next big thing." "You know what?" "I know the dean of the fashion institute." "You could probably find one of their star students and take advantage of that." "Really?" "That would be perfect." "Can you call now?" "Sure." "So gerard dumais just fired our very talented and very,very expensive architect." "So now I have to find someone." "young,hungry,irr?" "encieux!" "What about eric?" "eric does commercial projects?" "He wants to expand." "Restoration's his specialty." "Well,at least give him a chance to pitch." "He's perfect for this." "Okay,I'll say it." "You're nervous about mixing friends and business." "I am not!" "I amI am a little." "We always mix friends and business." "We do!" "We just did." "Isn't that the point?" "If I bring eric in to pitch and gerard doesn't buy it,then." "he's a professional." "He gets it." "Just give him a shot." "All right." "I might as well do it now while I still run the company." "Len dinerstein is circling juliet's company, and now he's asked her out to dinner." "really?" "Guys,guys,it's just dinner, and it's here at the hotel, so it's more like a working date." "Still,you have to be pretty psyched about being courted by a billionaire." "That's just a word that goes xt to his name." "He's actually an interesting man." "What?" "That is what he says in interviews-- the thing about the word next to his name." "Well,it happens to be true." "The fourth mrs.Len dinerstein." "Oh,shut up!" "You know he keeps a kosher kitchen." "You should really,you know,read up on those." "jewish traditions,and - mia." "Fine.Sorry." "Just don't order the shrimp." "wylie,look what I got you." "Look.get it." "Aren't you supposed to be running an empire?" "I think he's broken." "What are you talking about?" "He just lays there." "Look at him--like a lump." "I don't think he likes me." "Noevery dog is gonna bound into your arms the minute you meet 'em." "He's probably just feeling you out." "I know you were hoping I was gonna keep him,but I have read the book, and he's just not that into me." "Okay,I'll call the shelter and arrange to have him picked up." "Wait,wait." "Aren't you gonna argue with me?" "Some people aren't dog people." "I'm a dog person." "It's just not a good match." "Don't worry about it." "no,no,I need 70% blend of black rock soil and peanut meal, and I need it tomorrow." "Yeah,my daughter's science project is due on fray." "Thanks." "Hey!" "Nice one." "Okay,let's do some dribble drills just to get up our field awareness." "I really just wanna kick." "Okay,but,uh,you know,being able to control the ball is--is the key to the whole game." "Kicking's good." "Just a second,honey." "What are you doing here?" "Listen,when we got cut off the other day we didn't get cut off.I hung up on you." "Come on." "Let's talk through this." "No,clayton,you belittled me." "You pushed me aside." "You took all the credit for a deal that I closed." "What could be possibly have to talk about?" "And I am sorry about that." "But there was a lot of miscommunication and-- you know,the only reason you'd leave the office to track me down is if you needed something from me." "I don't need anything." "But now that we have landed tate,don't you wanna put his money to work?" "Tate wants to know where I am, and you don't have an answer." "Actually,I told him you were having your eyes done." "You what?" "Well,I didn't tnk saying that you had a temper tantrum and stormed out would make either you or the firm look too good." "So you told him I was having cosmetic surgery?" "You should be thking me." "Oh,by helping you smooth a deal that's going sour?" "I wouldn't say it's going sour." "Maybe curdling a little,and." "mom!" "Keep kicking,honey!" "I'd be happy to put a good word in to henry, if you think that would help." "Oh,would you do that for me,clayton?" "Would ya?" "Would ya?" "Ge I'm sensing sarcasm." "Go away,clayton." "We're done here." "Coming,honey." "You know,typical move for a mommy run back to the playground when things in the real world get too tough." "Oh,luke burden!" "see,honey?" "Control." "Well,the head of the design institute said you were their brightest star,denis, and I casee why." "These are beautiful,sophisticated,mature." "and doable?" "Absolutely." "At the speed of light?" "Because my job is on the line here." "Not at that should mean anything to you, but I am offering you the opportunity of a lifetime, and that should mean something to you." "Seriously,this is a dream come true." "I mean,I've been wearing lily parrish since I was.15." "Well,uh,brand loyalty is always a plus." "I can do this." "Under pressure,can you pull enough of these pieces together by friday so we can have some semblance of a show?" "Semblance?" "Was tom ford's first for gucci a semblance of a show?" "oh,aim high." "I like that." "Go.Start.Sew." "okay,I was thinking first we'll put down the ground soil, and then we'll work on the irrigation system." "Does that sound good to you?" "'Cause this is your project." "Okay." "So I spoke to juliet." "And?" "Apparently this guy she's working with is insane." "He wants something,he wakes up the next morning, he wants something else." "That is all gonna change once he meets you." "I don't know." "All my recent work is residential." "Well,show him the barn in rhinebeck." "That was ten years ago." "He's gonna wanna see something a little more current." "He doesn't have to know that." "When you make a deal,you play your highest card." "You're talking to me like I don't know how to get my own jobs." "No.Oh,was I?" "I'm sorry." "No,I'm just saying, if you rearrange your portfolio-- still doing it." "Sorry,sorry.Hands off." "Oh,no,honey,honey,you're-- u're pressing it down too hard." "Here,let me,okay?" "It's like this." "Press it.Press it.Okay?" "taxi!" "You weren't actually kidnapped." "I was for three days in la paz when I was on a U.N.Fact-finding mission." "And I thought i led a privileged life." "I've been lucky." "I've been able to access some amazing experiences." "Can I ask you a question?" "Anything." "Three wives,three divorces." "uh,I apologize,but not about my previous relationships." "Some things a man must keep private, no matter how long it's been or how wronged he may feel." "I didn't intend it to be a test, but that was the perfect answer." "Mr.Dinerstein?" "Could you please bring out the sauternes now?" "Uh,we don't stock sauternes." "Or the burgundys we've been drinking." "I did a little recon on you and had them sent from my cellar." "But you should stock more vintage french wines and be able to get room service in your london hotel in less than 43 minutes, and a hundred other little improvements I'd implement,if I actually ran a service business." "Which is what you're planning to do?" "Ah,just when I thought this was turning into something like a date." "And if it is,would that be like dating the help?" "I never thought of the chief operating officer as the help." "In context." "I bought some stock in your company." "But if it only serves to make our introduction," "I'll consider it money well spent." "So you're satisfied with your position as it is?" "If I say yes?" "Then I can relax and enjoy myself." "please do." "You' absolutely right." "We do need to start carrying this." "I'm sorry that things didn't work out between us." "It's just,you know,god knows I've tried everything." "Okay,so somebody is gonna come, and they are going to find you a great home." "oh,my gosh." "What is th-- okay,that's my very expensive shoe." "But is that a "hi"?" "That is a "hi"!" "I'm from pets be friends animal shelter." "I've come to take wylie." "Hi." "We were just making some progress down here." "Um,you know what?" "I'd like to keep wylie for a little bit longer." "Oh,I'm sorry." "It's not possible." "We've made other arrangements." "Well,can't you unmake them?" "I'd like to keep him." "What,permanently?" "Well,I don't know." "It's just that." "you know what?" "Yes,permanently." "First you wanna give him up, then you wanna keep him?" "In any case,uh,you'd have to schedule an interview." "Well,can we do it right now?" "Have a seat." "No,this is--this is great." "Because,you know,I've always wanted to own a dog, but I never thought I had the time." "We don't say "owner." "" We say "guardian" or "life companion." "" "Owner" implies the dogs are property instead of living beings in their own right." "Okay,well,then I have always wanted to be" "A.life companion to a dog." "So could you please list all your previous pets, starting with childhood?" "Are you kidding me?" "Chinese families aren't even allowed to wear shoes in the house." "that was a joke." "So who do you live with now?" "Uh,no one." "No husband?" "Boyfriend?" "Girlfriend?" "no one." "So,uh,how many hours a day do you work?" "Oh,a lot,but I would have a-a dog walker,of course." "And,uh,what's your longest relationship with a human?" "that is not a real question." "Those plants are,uh,plastic." "Am I right?" "Um,well,uh,it's just for looks." " And - that's faux." "This is.cheap." "Canal street.Chinatown." "I think I have enough." "Great." "So?" "From my assessment, it doesn't appear that you're ready for this kind of commitment." "Excuse me?" "Well,we look for certain qualities in our guardians, and you don't seem to have those qualities at this time." "Sir,with all due respect," "I have 137 employees working under me, and last quarter my revenue was $110 million." "I assure you that I can walk and feed a dog twice a day." "Being a guardian to an animal is much more than just remembering to feed it." "I know that." "This is insane!" "Three days ago,this dog was ting garbage off the street." "I mean,isn't being with me an automatic step up?" "Not from what I've seen." "j-- you're taking him right now?" "You know what?" "I-I don't need you or anyone else to validate who I am or how I live my life!" "And I'm getting him back!" "Please don't tell me you placed our biggest event of the season in the hands of a 22-year-old neophyte." "what?" "Of course not." "He's 23,but he's quick,and he's brilliant, and he's responsible way beyond his years." "He better be." "I have tried every space from harlem to battery park." "The only option is a fabulous space I found in midtown, but it'll cost you $75,000 to rent it for the day." "Done.Approved." "Where are we gonna get that money?" "I'll borrow it from next quarter's budget." "Seriously?" "Just do it." "If I don't get this done," "I won't be here for next quarter." "A quarter million for one of his drawings." "I have a painting I bought out of his studio 8 years ago for 10 grand." "The dinerstein touch?" "Hunch." "What do you think of his stuff?" "Honestly?" "I don't have much of an eye for contemporary art." "I love jn currin,but as everybody points out, he paints like the old masters." "You develop the eye,like any other muscle." "It's on the to-do list." "Any chance you'd spend next weekend with me on my boat in st.Barths?" "one tiny thing,juliet, and I hope you won't be offended, but if we're going to continue seeing each other, and I hope we are," "I might have to ask you to sign a confidentiality agreement." "You're kidding." "Unfortunately,my business follows me wherever I go." "I wouldn't want there to be any awkwardness if you overheard something." "Well,it might be less awkward if you'd sell some of our stock." "Let's not turn this into a business meeting." "Agreed." "And,yes,len," "I'm sure I could wrap my head around signing a confidentiality agreement, as long as you'd sign one,too." "But we're really getting ahead of ourselves,aren't we?" "I don't like to waste time." "I'd rather be direct." "So would I." "My relationship with my ex-husband-- we were less than honest with each other." "Been there." "Hope it didn't put you off monogamy." "Not permanently." "Good,because family's important to me, and I do want another one someday." "Someday as in next fiscal quarter?" "That's unfair." "I'm sorry.It's just." "this is our second date, and I feel like we're on the clock." "It's worth getting this ght." "I negotiate all day long." "I don't wanna do so in my person life." "We all do it." "I'm just more open about it." "yes and no." "What do you mean?" "Well,are you the len dinerstein who just bought another block of our shares in after hours trading?" "The more I get to know it, the more I like it." "Me or my company?" "Both." "That won't fly,and you know it." "What did you have in mind here,len-- a little pillow talk about our upcoming quarterly projections?" "Oh,come on." "How do you tell the man who has everything that he can't have everything?" "You don'T." "I think I just did." "You know,so we were just bonding, and then I think he was trusting me." "Now all of a sudden he's yanked away." "I don't know." "I hope he's doing okay." "But you only had him a couple days,right?" "So?" "So just let it go." "I don't wanna let it go." "Oh,come on." "Don't make me be the bad guy here." "We've been talking about this all night." "We talked about belays and carabiners for 45 minutes, and I have absolutely no interest in rock climbing, but you do,so I listened." "Yeah,that's a lifelong passion of mine." "This is an animal you met 72 hours ago." "I miss him." "The dog just sat there." "He didn't do anything." "Yes,he di he ate my shoe." "Wait.He what?" "He ate my shoe." "It was a connection." "It meant something." "I'm sorry." "I just don't get this at all." "all right,let me ask you something." "When we're not together,do you think about me?" "Of course I do." "I mean,all the time." "Listen,I mean," "I know we haven't spent a lot of time together since we started this, but we're both busy people." "I don't think it's about making time for each other." "I mean,not this early on." "Do you think we should instantly be able to insert a relationship?" "I ink that we should be in each other's systems right from the start,you know?" "like we wanna be with each other all the time." "So what are you saying?" "I'm saying that,yes,I agree with you." "It is a little weird that I'm so obsessed with this dog." "Good." "But it feels so great to be crazy about someone you just met." "And frankly,I just." "I don't think that we feel that way about each other." "I don't know if I've ever felt that way about anyone." "Well,you will." "I think this is good night,jason." "I've always wanted to do a large-scale cast-iron building, a true innovation that shows off how beautifully these buildings were built." "You have a gorgeous example here." "I wouldn't wanna ruin it." "The country house in rhinebeck?" "Yes,the mueller house?" "I thought so." "I have been there." "Very impressive,eric." "Thank you." "I think we're done here." "Thanks for coming up,eric." "We'll make a decision as soon as-- now." "Can you come to the site with me this afternoon?" "Well,sure." "And then I'll need you to get drawing as soon as possible." " Okay?" " Okay." "Thanks very much." "I'm thrilled to be part of this." "And I'm thrilled to have you,and she's thrilled to have this done with." "so everybody's happy?" " Yes?" " Yes." "Congratulations." "Thank you." "You have a delivery from a gallery?" "A drawing from the current exhibition courtesy of mrdinerstein?" "Yes." "Would you like us to hang it?" "No,thank you." "I'd like you to return it." "Could you get him on the phone for me,please?" "Is there anything else?" "Dinerstein is sending you art?" "Why is that?" "Can you keep a secret?" "Yes." "Good.So can I." "you so enjoy being mysterious." "And you so enjoy being a provocateur." "We could dri each other crazy if we don't watch out." "I have his voice mail." "len,juliet." "I don't think the S." "E.C.Would look too kindly on a corporate raider sending an expensive drawing to an executive of a target company." "Think of this as a favor and a warning-- the company and its C.O.O. Are not for sale." "Talk soon." "I'll tell you one thing-- that wild horses aren't gonna drag me off this floor until those people have heard everything I'vgot to say, even if it takes all winter." "hey." "Hey!" "How'd it go?" "The site's fantast." "Gerard's a royal pain." "it's gorham sutter.You want it?" "yeah,hand it over quick." "don't they know we're tching a movie?" "Come here,you two." "Well,mr.President,we seem to be alone." "I-I am not complaining for a social reason." "it's just." "I think it'd be pity if these gentlemen missed any of this." "Call his studio again." "If he doesn't answer,I'm putting you in a cab so you can find him and kill him." "Where have you been?" "You're two hours late." "You really can't rush me right now." "Wanna bet?"
