"Um, most importantly, any questions about my personal life" "Should be answered as follows." "These are blank." "That's right, because you should say nothing." "Nothing about Roy, though he is a client of this agency." "Uh, and if pressed, just bring that conversation" "Right back to me in a positive way." "Um, what if we really" "Or work with you at all ?"

"Me creep took my picture" "On one of the worst days in my life." "I mean, this is..." "This is my first date in 12 years," "And I specifically left out the fact that I'm a widow," "And there I was on the wall," "Crying my eyes out over my husband." "So I did something kind crazy." "You stole it off the wall." "Yeah." "How did you know that ?" "Oh... this is gonna get complicated." "You know this lunatic ?" "She's not a lunatic." "She's a friend," "And she's going through a really difficult time." "Oh, what's that like, I wonder." "Look, this photo..." "Can you at least talk to her ?" "No." "I don't want to get involved, Steven." " Can you ask her to talk to me, then ?" " To you ?" "Yeah, just..." "Just the two of us." "No lawyers or anything." "I want to talk to her." "You think that's a smart idea ?" "You're not really a people person, Steven." "That's just my reputation." "Come on." "Please ?" "Come on." "Come on." "Come on." "Is name is Sherman Jeffries." "He's in rikers on an attempted murder charge." "He's your client ?" "Charged with what you did." "His wife just had a baby." "He's 23 years old, and he's facing 8 years." "Man, I-I don't know what to say." "It's not what you're gonna say." "It's what you should do." "This was a mistake." "I don't wanna go back to jail." "I'll get you the best deal that I can." "This wasn't even supposed to happen." "But it did." "You say you're sick of living a lie," "Then... do something about it." "I thought I told you I need some space, Damian." "I'm..." "I'm giving you your space, I just..." "Came by to tell you that'm..." "Giving myself up." "What's gonna happen to you ?" "I don't know." "I'll probably go away for a little while." "I wanted to say good-Bye" "And say that I'm sorry." "I'm really sorry, Regina." "Look, I never meant to hurt you." "I just wanted to be the man you wanted." "I don't know who that is." "But you will." "I-I..." "I'll take my lumps on this," "Do whatever it takes to wipe the slate clean." "I'm proud of you, Damian." "Yeah ?" "It's just, when you told me what you did..." "It really scared me, Damian." "I saw you as something completely different, and I..." "I don't know if I can puthose two things together." "As hard as I try, I..." "I get it." "Yeah, look..." "All right, all right." "So you take care of yourself." "You, too." "Laura ?" "Hi, Steven Caseman." "Hello." "Hi." "How are you ?" "Please." "?" "?" "?" "No, thank you." "You don't seem like your average kleptomaniac." "Oh, god." "I'm sorry that I took it off the wall." "I just..." "I..." "Apology accepted." "No, no, i'm not actually..." "I'm not actually sorry that I took it." "I..." "I'm..." "I don't know what I'm saying." "I'm..." "I mean, you wanted to meet with me." "Yes, I did." "Well, what do you want ?" "They want to use the photo on the cover of a..." "Of a very prestigious book." "I won't agree to any use of that photo." "Okay, then." "Okay what ?" "I came prepared with a big spiel about..." "But I'll save it for my memoirs." "I'm kidding." "I looked you up on the internet." "There are two Steven Caseman." "That's it ?" "One is a sausage maker in Maryland." "He's somewhat famous." "And then there you..." "The photographer who..." "Makes a career out of this, out of exposing people." "I don't see it that way." "Okay." "Look, I'm a happy person." "And that moment..." "That was a very, very sad moment fome," "And I don't wanna be seen like that," "And I don't want my daughter walking into a playdate" "And seeing me on the coffee table sobbing my eyes out." "How old is she ?" "How old is..." "She's 8." "That second grade or third grade ?" "Do you understand what I'm saying to you ?" "I was not trying to embarrass you when I took that photo," "Believe me." "I was in a relatively difficult state myself at the time." "I saw you." "I... couldn't help myself." "That's..." "That's the first good series I've taken in a long time." "Very good." "Very, very good photos." "You know, a good photo has very little to do" "With who takes it and who's in it." "So believe me," "When people look at that picture," "They will nosee you." "They will see themselves." "Well, I-I will see me." " I recognize that, but..." " Sorry." "Just..." "Think, Melanie." "Okay." "What about Randy ?" "Who's Randy ?" "The security guard on the weekends." "Asy date ?" "He's tasty." "Okay, okay." "My cousin gary." "He's good-Looking, he's tall and he's engaged," "But I still think he'd do it." "Okay, see, Roy is gonna show up with a supermodel on his arm," "So I need someone who is impressive and good-Looking" "And might actually piss Roy off." "Like who ?" "Hi." "When I said I owed you a favor," "This isn't exactly what I had in mind." "Just smile and be charming." "Thank you." "I'll do my best." "Hi." "Hello, Roy." "You look beautiful." "Thank you." "This is Steven Caseman..." "My date." "Oh, good." "Nice to meet you." "You, too." "Is that your date ?" "Uh, no." "No, I didn't, uh, bring anyone." "I thought it would be in bad taste..." "Considering..." "You were here, but, uh..." "it's really nice to meet you." "Let's have a drink." "Sure." "So, Roy, you are, uh, British ?" "That's right." "Have you ever been ?" "Yes, I have, many times." "Shocking we never met there." "What are the odds ?" "I'm sure I'd have remembered you." "What ?" "Stop being so nice." "I thought I was supposed to be charming." "Not to Roy." "Now pretend I'm saying something really hilarious." "What" "Oh." "Oh, you." "You..." "You said he'd have a date." "He doesn't have a date." "I don't know what he's doing." "So, Steven, tell me, uh, what kind of photography do you do ?" "Uh, he does everything." "He has an opening this weekend," "Has, um, four books published." "Thank you, Whitney." "Don't be shy." "He has a piece hanging in the moma." "And, u he won a macarthur grant." "Wow." "I'm impressed." "Me, too." "Some more champagne, Ma'am ?" "Mmm." "Yeah." "Thank you." "Yeah, that's a great idea." "Good evening, everybody." "Uh, I can't resist a captive audience," "So I just wanna say a few words..." "Actually, maybe I'll make the toast." " You always make the toast." " I'm not sure that's a good idea." "Oh, no, no." "It's gonna be fine." "I'm really good at it." "I gave one at my dad's 60th birthday." "I made my uncle cry." "Um, I just wanna say at, um," "When, uh, two companies come together, uh, to work together," "It's a partnership... a marriage." "And, uh, I just wanna tell you what you can expect From your partners here at ralston p.R..." "Uh, honesty, loyalty," "An undying trust that we'd never lie to you." " Cheers." " No, i'm not done." "Um, this company was founded on love And respec which is why I love it here," "And I love each and every one of you." "Ahem." " Uh, what was I saying ?" " You love each and every one of us..." "Yes, I'd I love each and every one of you," "And I hope that never changes." "L'chaim !" "I'm going out for some air." "What's the matter, the uth hurt ?" "No, that's fine." "That I can take." "It's just seeing you..." "I knew this was a lousy idea," " Working on the same project, and..." " No, you don't understand." "Look, you deserve to be happy, okay ?" "And lord knows I've made a huge mess of everything." "But still, it's hard for me to see you with another man." "What ?" " There you are." " Whatever you may think," "I'm still a human being, Whitney, okay ?" "No, no, no." "What..." " This is a little tricky." " Time to call it a night." "Hard for you ?" "Yeah, oh, my god." "I am so sorry that this is hard for you." "Imagine if I was sleeping with everything with two legs." "Imagine that..." "If I was sleeping with this guy here, huh ?" "How do you think that would make you feel ?" "How about him ?" "Hey !" "Yeah, what if I was sleeping with him ?" "Would it matter to you ?" "How about him right there ?" "Hi !" "Hi !" "You want some of this ?" "He doesn't want it !" " It was an excellent meal." " Um... maybe she could" "She looks available." "She has a pulse." "It was nice to meet you." "I don't feel bad for him." "I just would like if he would just disappear Off the face of the thing, you know ?" "Just the... the planet ?" " It would be so nice..." " Yep." "If he would just be gone, you know ?" "Just like..." "Just in an instant, just poof !" "Like a vapor." ""Darling, darling," ""I've been vaporized." ""How am I gonna screw the rest of Manhattan if I'm just a vapor ?"" "I was such an idiot at that dinner, wasn't I ?" "Oh, who cares ?" "I do." "Whoa." "Well, maybe that's your problem." "What ?" "You care too much about what other people think." " And you don't care what other people think ?" " No, I don't." "Here, this is a tall..." "glass of water." "And oh, look," "A smooth receptacle in case of emergencies." "Now I'll just..." "I think you care." "I think you care" "That people know you're the great Steven Caseman." "Yeah." "I'm sure you think that I think that." "Um, you're gonna be embarrassed in the morning a little." "Don't be." "I've been through this a million times," "And there is absolutely nothing..." "I think you care." "I see through you, Steven." "I'm sure you do." "You need to get some sleep." "Harry !" "Wait a minute !" "What if I told you I could deliver The real washington heights shooter ?" "I'd do flying cartwheels across chambers street at rush hour." "You'd drop the charges against my client Sherman Jeffries ?" "All right, joke's over." "I have actual work to do." "Come on, I'm try to plead here." "You didn't hear ?" "The vic woke up this morning..." "O'Malley." "Took a look at the Jeffries mug shot" "And didn't know him from Adam." "Said it was two black guys, drove off in a town car." "So... my guy's free." "Cutting him loose as soon as we can file the paperwork." "Now go ahead." "Make my day." "Who's the real shooter ?" "You know what ?" "You got me." "I was bluffing." "You're learning, kid." "You should have seen him staring at me With those sad, puppy-Dog eyes like a wounded animal." "I would have kicked him." "Like I'm the bad guy." "Like I should fe bad for him." "How was even Caseman, the date ?" "He was fine." "A gentleman." "What, is all this stuff multiplying ?" "We just got a new shipment." "This is for the third wave of the campaign." "You know, archery used to be my thing." "I used to be camp wissahickon's champion three summers in a row." "Whitney, we really..." "You did not." "So the arrow's been remod, and there's no permanent damage." " Oh, thank god." " He's resting comfortably." "Lucky guy." "A few inches to the right," " And he'd be singing mezzo-Soprano." " She's got bad aim." "It was an accident." "Mm-Hmm." "It was." "In any case, we expect him to make a full recovery." "Thank you, doctor." "Two weeks." "I asked you to keep it together for two weeks." "Do you honestly think that I did this on purpose ?" "What kind of person do you think I am ?" "Well, right now, I'm not so sure." "But it doesn't matter," "Because you've gotta get in tre," "And you've gotta make this right." "He could pull the traxx account." "He could sue us." "He could sue you." "Okay, fine." "I will talk to him," "But you have to believe that I did not do this on purpose." "Keep telling yourself that." " Hi." " Uh, hello." "I got your address from Whitney." "I, um..." "I don't mean to bother you at home." "I have a thing about sending these through the mail." "They're your negatives..." "All of them, of you." "Thank..." "Thank you." "Sometimes I have a little difficulty" "Seeing outside of the frame, you know what I mean ?" "But i'm grateful for the inspiration." "Ouch." "Roy, I am so sorry." "I'm so sorry." "I didn't mean to do that." "Oh, what's it matter ?" "I deserved it." "So we're even, right ?" "Joke." "That's what's weird..." "I shot you with an arrow, and I don't feel any better." "Yeah, well, I guess you're likely to be royly pissed off With me for, well, the rest of our lives." "Maybe." "But I'm sitting here watching you, thinking..."
