"Erin!" "Erin?" "Erin:" "What?" "Erin, turn off the sh -oh, God." "Turn off the shower!" "Why?" "Just turn it off!" "What's going on?" "There's a leak in the ceiling." "Oh, God." "It's leaking now?" "You knew about this?" "I knew there was a stain, but I didn't think it was a full-on leak." "Can you hand me a towel, please?" "I'm gonna call a plumber." "I already did." "I called three." "I got three bids." "So why isn't it fixed?" "It's gonna be expensive, and I wanted to talk to you about it first." "Well, we got to fix the leak, or the ceiling will collapse." "I know, but I just..." "I thought if we're gonna spend all this money on the bathroom, we should just go ahead with the renovation we talked about." "Let's just fix what needs to be fixed -please." "Okay, honey, but I think it really makes better financial sense to go ahead and do all the new tile and fixtures while the floor and walls are all ripped up." "Can we just go back in time to when I didn't know there was a leak and I was happy?" "Come on, honey, isn't it time we had an adult shower big enough for the both of us?" "You know, with a glass door and a bench?" "I mean, imagine if we had an actual master bathroom." "There's a place for me to shave my legs, maybe a fogless shaving mirror" " by the-it all sounds way too expensive." "Okay, no fogless shaving mirror." "Come on." "Please?" "I'm dying here." "I'm dying." "All right, all right." "Okay." "Just make a few calls, start the process." "Okay, okay." "I'll make a few calls." "Ugh." "These expense reports look familiar?" "A little, uh... bigger than I recall." "Over the course of three trips to I." "A." "And eight client dinners, we noticed some irregularities." "You had dinner here at the Ivy in I." "A. With a "p." "Meyer."" "Assuming "p" is for Paul Meyer, copywriter." "Yeah." "Who no longer works" " at the agency-hasn't for three years." "Still family, though, huh?" " $37 on cab fare-here, here, there, there, and there." "Those are expensive cab rides." "A lot of traffic, a lot of waiting time." "But you provided no receipts." "And..." "You had a rental car at the time." "Do you want me to drive while I'm intoxicated, Bruce?" "'Cause that is what it sounds like." "Look, Conner, I get it." "Minibars get emptied." "You don't want to write "crazy girls strip club"" "on your expense report, so you say you took a few taxis." "I know it's fun to play Hollywood big shot while you're off shooting your 15-second power-drill commercials." "We shot a 30-second version, too." "You creatives need to understand-the party's over, and it's b." "Y.O.B. These are tough economic times, Conner." "From now on, too much creativity in the expense report is a dismissable offense." "You're saying I could get fired." "No, I'm saying you will get fired unless you reimburse the company for any unsubstantiated expenses." "I did go to the Ivy." "That one's true." "Your bill comes to $4,217." "I got called down to h." "R." "They have blowups of all of my expense reports." "Oh, no." "Did you-did you put my name on any of those?" "You're listed on, you know, a few dinners you might not actually have eaten." "How..." " How much do you owe?" " A couple of grand." "This is serious." "A couple of grand might not be such a big deal to you, but we're not all making creative-director money." "We all have money problems." "Not you." "You have creative-director money." "Erin wants to redo the bathroom." "I'm getting whacked on the head with a metal pointer, and you-you're trying to find new ways to spend all your creative-director money." "Stop saying that." "You can't silence me." "There are some things your creative-director money cannot buy." "There is" "no creative-director money!" "What?" "I never got the raise." "When did this not happen?" "When I got my new business cards with the... with the fancy raised print." "Look!" "I'm rich!" "And I never told Erin." "So, now she wants to redo the bathroom." "I don't want to say no." "No, no." "You know what?" "You-you were promised a raise, Mason." "Let's go yell at Tony." "Wait, no, no." "Tony's in Portugal for the global creative review." "Calm down." "Calm down?" "Calm down?" "You calm down." "I'm not calming down." "You know what I'm gonna do?" "I'm gonna phone Tony." "What time do you think it is in Portugal?" "See, this is why I never told you." "Could you just-can you put... just give me a second." "You're not gonna... look-Tony said the raise is gonna come." "I'm sure it will." "He told me to not worry about it." "And what do you do?" "I worry about it." "You know what you need to do?" "Talk to Denise." "I can't go over Tony's head." "Can I?" "His head's not here." "It's in Portugal." "And do a good job." "I'll do a good job." "You and Amy." "You guys an item?" "What?" "No." "God." "Why would you think that?" "Because you're blushing, which means you're embarrassed, which means you love her." "It does not." "Mm-hmm." "It just means we were talking." "What's the big deal?" "The big deal is that you have no business reason to talk to her." "So that means you love Amy." "What are you, 12?" ""Tom and Amy sitting in a tree"?" "No." "We're just going over the dove hair care brief." "Mason." "Hey." "Tom and Hector are working on dove, huh?" "I didn't know that." "I was gonna tell you last night, but then you left." "I don't need any help on dove." "They're the only client producing anything till the end of the year." "Why should you get all the fun?" "Can I talk to you for a second in my office?" "Am I not doing a good job?" "Yes." "I mean, yes, you are doing a good job." "'Cause I've been trying to," "Mason." "I really have." "Look, I know I said shampoo is not my thing, like I'm an anthropologist studying a bizarre alien race, but I have been working my ass off all by myself, and I still don't have a partner!" "O-okay, quit, quit." "Let me spell this out for you, okay?" ""A", Tom and Hector-not that much of a threat." "You know, I'm giving them a shot on this, and they may come up with some funny ideas, but they'll be off-strategy." "Okay, what about "b"?" "And "b"..." "Uh, "b", I may have found for you a great new - temporary-art-director partner." "Who?" "He's very talented." "Who?" "Very much in demand." "Who is he?" "Mason Mcguire." "Looking forward to working with you." "Shut up." "I'm not good enough for you?" "You already have a partner." "For the next couple of days, I'll have two." "It's nice to meet you." "You too." "I have some ideas." "Um... oh, oh." "These don't need full storyboards... just some key frames." "There's a product demo in the middle that might need some animation." "I thought this illustration style might work, if you want to take a look." "This is gonna be really fun, you know?" "Kind of like old times." "Uh, but, you know," "I can't" "I can't get to these just this minute." "I... just set up a meeting with Denise." "So, after lunch?" "Sure." "Okay." "No prob... but hold on." "You got a little..." "Hair right there." "Hmm." "You got some schmutz on your face." "There." "Now you're ready to see Denise." "Thank you." "You know, Tony never said anything to me." "Well, it was..." "Probably a few weeks ago." "I know you're busy." "You are aware that there's an agency-wide salary freeze." "Yes, but given that I'm now basically running dove hair care, effen vodka, bertolli, and potbelly sandwich works, I thought you might make an exception." "Really?" "Why would you think that?" "Well... uh, uh, I-I'm - you know, I'm not asking for more money for the same job, you understand." "I did get a promotion to creative director." "It was a promotion I think I earned, and..." "I don't mean to belittle your achievement, but..." "Didn't you get that promotion because someone dropped dead?" "Well, yes." "Bonuses and raises, stock options-you don't get these things by just passing "go." They're based on merit and accomplishment." "Now, outside of shooting a commercial behind your boss's back and losing the arc mobile account, what have you actually accomplished as creative director?" "You said losing arc mobile was not our fault." "Hardly a feather in one's cap, either." "Mason, I do make exceptions... for exceptional people." "You will get a raise when you prove that you deserved this promotion to begin with." "And in the meantime, you can rest assured..." "You are officially on my radar." "Hey." "Does this look like a real I." "A. Taxi receipt to you?" "Tony never even asked her about the raise." "But you did." "How much you get?" "What'd she say?" "She said, and I quote," ""the only exceptions to the salary freeze will be people who are exceptional."" "You're exceptional." "Thanks, mom." "Oh, no." "You didn't get-oh, come on!" "We should be coming up with brilliant ideas, not... not being forced to beg for money." "We are being taken for granted around here." "You know what?" "It's the age-old advertising rule." "You want to show an agency how valuable you are, how loyal you are, there's only one thing to do." "Do exceptional work?" "Leave." "We got to leave." "A lot of the books that come out of Rothman are a little lame." "But these are good... very good." "Thanks, Jan." "That's very kind." "I need you to assure me that you're not just jerking me around, like the rest of the creatives in this town... call a headhunter, get a job offer, then use it to extort more money" "out of your current employer." "I'm a little offended." "I'm a little..." " Are you a little offended?" " Little bit." "And he doesn't offend easy." "Nope." "Little bit." "Okay." "Then I've got a couple of questions." "First, you guys have different titles." "But if you're gonna go out as a team, you've got to go in at the same level, and it might not be as creative directors." "You okay with that?" "Not a problem." "Of course." "Yeah, whatever." "This is not about titles." "This is about money." "So, what kind of salary bump are you looking for?" "Well, we're not greedy." "No, no." "Just undervalued." "Heh." "Uh, 20% seems reasonable." "I can get that." "Well, for Mason." "Obviously, it would be less for you, Conner, since you're starting out at a higher salary." "I just think you should both make the same." "It's cleaner that way." "So, what do you think?" "You make more money than me?" "For now." "That would have been good information for me to have going into that meeting." "I'm not so sure I agree with that." " Oh, really?" "Why?" "Why?" " 'Cause you enjoyed watching me humiliate myself in front of Jan?" "It was not humiliating." "Will someone explain the logic of this to me?" "I am the creative director... technically, your boss." "I make less than you, and I can't get a raise." "How is that possible?" "The President of the United States makes less money than 90% of the c." "E.O.S in America." "That doesn't make me feel better." "You think you should make more money than the president?" "When did you start making more than me?" "Don't go backward-go forward." "Soon, we'll be making the same salary, so crisis averted." "Did Tony give you the money?" "Not Tony." "Stu." "Ohh, of course." "The last couple years," "Stu went and talked to Denise, got me a little bit extra." "I didn't ask him to do it, okay?" "Stu just did it." "I can't help it if he likes me more." "Liked me more." "You should have told me." "I'm sorry." "I-I didn't - I didn't know what to say." "But we're doing something about it now, okay?" "So look on the bright side." "What side?" "!" "Where is it bright?" "!" "I may make more money than you." "You have more money than me." "You got a house, you have savings, retirement." "What do I have?" "$4,000 in debt which I owe good old Uncle Rothman by the end of the week, and I don't have it." "You want humiliating?" "That's humiliating." "You said a couple grand." "A couple grand, give or take a couple more grand, which I have to pay in installments." "And if I don't, guess what." "I'm looking at a dismissable offense." "You're kidding." "That's what they told me." "But, lucky for me, we're lining up a new job." "Maybe I can get a $4,217 signing bonus." "Seriously, you don't have the money?" "I was hoping that my expense reimbursements could float me till the old Christmas bonuses kicked in, but I just flat-out don't have... what are you doing?" "What are you... are you writing a-don't write me a check, okay?" "Don't." "Don't even think of it." "I'm not thinking." "And I'm not giving you anything." "It's a loan." "Mason, will you get-no." "There's no chance I'm gonna-ohh." "This is humiliating." "I know, but we'll get over it." "Ohh." "Oh." "You scared me." "Sorry." "Wow." "It's a cute office." "Thanks." "Haven't you ever seen it before?" "Um, no." "Actually, I've never even been on this floor before." "I guess not." "So, what's up?" "Well, actually, Amy, I just wanted to have a little chat-you know, uh, woman to woman." "Okay." "Let's have a chat." "Um..." "In the future, I'd really appreciate you not going behind my back." "Excuse me?" "You briefed Tom and Hector on a TV assignment I was working on without even telling me." "It's not really my job to tell you." "Look." "This place is such a boys' club," "I kind of figured that us girls would sort of..." "You know, look out for each other, that's all." "And is that what you've been doing-looking out for me?" "You've made it very clear that you find my account to be beneath your great talents and that any woman shallow enough to take this work seriously was... silly." "Well, I never meant you to think that." "The truth is, Sarah," "I've been trying to get you taken off this account since day one." "But, for some reason," "I've been stuck with you." "So putting Tom and Hector on this assignment was your idea." "It was." "And I have every expectation that their work will be creative and insightful and that they will be producing next year's campaign." "Oh, really?" "Huh." "Well, then, you'll be disappointed to know that I will be working with" "Mason on this assignment from here on out." "That's right -my art director is also your creative director." "How nice for you." "So I wouldn't be surprised if he were more inclined to recommend my work to his client." "His client?" "They hardly know Mason." "I've been working on their business for three years." "It'll be very interesting to see who has more influence with the client." "What the hell?" "Oh, God." "Oh, my God!" "Did the ceiling collapse?" "!" "Oh, no." "I know, I know." "It's horrifying." "But come here." "I have something much more fun to look at." "Mark brought over some tile samples." "Who's mark?" "The contractor." "You hired a contractor already?" "You said to." "I said we could start the process." "Well, doesn't the process usually start by hiring a contractor?" "No, it usually starts with getting some bids." "I did." "When did you get these bids?" "A month ago." "You started this whole thing without asking me?" "!" "We didn't talk about this!" "Yes, we did-yesterday morning." "Mason, I have been talking about a new bathroom for three years." "Besides, mark said the most economical way to do this is all at once." "You - you tricked me." "You tricked..." "I did not!" "H-how much is..." " how much is this tile?" " $60." "Each?" "A square foot." "Look, I know." "But cheaper tile won't look as good." "Erin, we don't have the money." "Yes, we do." "No, we don't." "Yes, we do!" "You just won't spend it!" "Oh, I won't spend it." "Is that the pr... have you looked at our visa bill lately?" "Maybe there's nothing left to spend!" "I'm good with money." "I'm not the one going around buying $345 shoes." "You didn't ask me about those." "These are for work." "Well, if I'm just the homemaker, then hiring the contractor falls under the category of "my work."" "And I don't have to ask you!" "The dove is the symbol of peace." "And it's right there on the package." "So, we were thinking, "how do hair-care products connect to the concept of peace?"" "And when we were reading the research, it seems like a lot of women really struggle with their hair." "Struggle... war." "Dove... peace." "That's when it came to us." ""Make peace with your hair."" "That is amazing!" "Oh, my God!" "You guys!" "Morning, guys." "Amy." "Mason, have you heard" " their idea yet?" " No." "Have you?" "Uh, we're actually waiting to unveil it at the meeting." "An unveiling?" "Sounds very impressive." "I can't wait." "Hey, dude?" "Thanks for letting us work on this." "It could be a real turning point for us career-wise." "You're welcome." "Glad you guys are so into it." "Mason!" "Psst!" "Come in here." "Come here." "Come on." "Ever since you put Tom and Hector on this account," "I've had, like, this creative eruption." "So it seems." "And with you helping me execute the stuff, I just know it's going to be so great." "I shall do my best." "I saw you talking to them." "What's their idea?" "Is it good?" "Is Amy pimping their idea?" "Sarah... relax." "I can't." "I didn't realize how much this means to me." "And I haven't had anything good happen in so long, so..." "Um, when do you think you can sit with me and go over this stuff?" " Half an hour, okay?" " Just let me check in with" "Conner, return some e-mails." "That's fine." "So, that would be, what, about 10:41?" "10:41." "Okay." "It's a date." "Oh, no." "When I heard that dove was the only client doing any production in the group, I say to myself, "Conner, why are you not working on it?" Oh, no." "Oh, yeah!" "Nothing quite generates the extra cash quite like the out-of-town commercial shoot, am I right?" "Come on." "Grab a few blank tax receipts, pad the expense report." "Don't do this." "I have to-seriously." "You've been so good to me." "You've been so generous." "The least I can do is help you out on dove." "If you want to help me, don't help me on dove." ""All you need is dove." That's good." "Who else is gonna help you?" "Huh?" "Tom?" "Hector?" "Please." "Rank amateurs." "Sarah?" "No." "I got the ideas, and believe me, they're humdingers." "I'm sure that they are, but Sarah, Tom, Hector-they've got their hearts set on this one." "They're working their asses off, not to mention the fact that I already promised Sarah I'd partner with her on this." "You-really?" "That's fine." "You're my partner." "I know, and you are my first priority." "But the girl is going stir-crazy without someone to work with, and I want her to feel secure." "Would you-look, please." "If you work on this, I-I'm not just faced with disappointing one person." "I'm looking at pissing off the entire group." "Don't worry about the group." "They'll understand." "Everyone's gonna understand," "Mason." "All you have to do is pick the best work, and, my friend, that is gonna be self-evident." "Do you have any aspirin?" "Sure." "I got some aspirin." "Coming at ya!" "You have two messages." "Message one." "G. Mcguire, this is mark, the contractor." "Your wife wanted me to call you." "I had to make a couple adjustments to the bid." "I underestimated the water damage." "Call me back." "I'll give you the bad news." "Message two." "Mason, this is Jan." "Great news." "Fallon is looking for a team in Minneapolis." "They've got someone they want to hire, but when they heard you and Conner were available, they decided to defer." "They need to make a decision fast, so what do you think?" "Call me." "Jan, it's Mason Mcguire." "Set up that interview with Fallon." "As soon as humanly possible." "How about this?" "A husband comes home from work." "Is his house torn apart?" "What?" "No." "A husband comes home from work." "He finds his house dark." "He takes off his jacket, but he hears a noise." "He flips a light switch." "He finds his wife making out with a stranger on his couch. "Honey..."" "Honey.... he says." "Your hair looks great." "Come on." "This is some good stuff right here." "What if Fallon offers us the job?" "I am being brilliant over here." "You're not even paying attention." "I am." "I'm sorry." "It's very funny." "It's not exactly on-strategy." "It's supposed to be about controlling and repairing damage to your hair, not just looking good." "Seriously, I mean, we got this phone interview with Fallon tomorrow." "What if they say... "Come work here"?" "Fallon's a good agency." "Would you ever consider moving?" "Minneapolis?" "I don't know." "It sounds so cold." "And it's so close to Canada." "It could be a fresh start for us." "You know, we get away from the stigma of losing arc mobile." "I wouldn't have to renovate any bathrooms or choose between three competing dove campaigns." "Or-how about this?" "Instead, the wife... she simply picks up a bottle of dove conditioner and smiles." "And the announcer says," ""new dove therapy conditioner with repairing serum." "This is all you need to control and repair damage..."" "To your hair." "That's good." "Let's try and pull it out." "We get this going, maybe we don't even have to move to Minnesota." "Tom and Hector have to recuse themselves." "I don't know what that means." "Legal term-judges recuse themselves from cases." "Ah." "That explains nothing." "They are a couple-Tom and Amy." "Look." "Tom fuller-that dog." "Hey!" "Do either one of you understand what this means?" "It means we have to find some way to tease and embarrass them." "Tom is having an inappropriate relationship with the account supervisor on dove hair care." "That means it is unfair and unethical for me to be competing against Tom and Hector on this assignment." "Whose idea do you think Amy's going to support?" "What-what is all that?" "What-those aren't my ideas." "They're mine, okay?" "What's that?" "And you just stop your nebbing." "And what's that?" "Mason, what's going on?" "I did not assign this." "Conner just started working on it." "Have you even started on my boards?" "Not exactly yet." "Because you've been too busy working on Conner's ideas." "I was gonna do yours next." "Whatever." "Whatever." "Sarah." "Hey." "Hey." "I'm gonna be pretty late tonight." "I got to comp up full campaigns for two people." "Can't you delegate any of that?" "I promised Conner and Sarah both that I would help them out on this." "Okay?" "So just don't count on me for dinner." "I'm shocked." "What does that mean?" "Just that you're incredibly predictable." "Any time there's something you want to avoid, you immerse yourself in work." "What is it exactly you think I'm avoiding?" "Me." "You'll do anything to get out of a difficult conversation about the bathroom." "That is not a difficult conversation, Erin, okay?" "It's a very simple conversation." "It goes like this." "There's no way in hell that I am buying tile that costs $60 each." "We'll talk about it in person when you get home." "Y- don't ha- what?" "I can't stand being here any longer than I have to" "Fred, the usual." "Actually..." "I know that you feel it, too how you guys doing?" "How's it going?" "Hey, watch out." "I'm not joking." "Okay." "Are you mad or something?" "Are you mad at me?" "No." "No," "I'm not mad at anybody." "I'm just..." "I'm sick of all of you." "For what it's worth," "I had no idea you and Mason were working on dove together." "We're not." "He hasn't done anything." "He's too busy with your campaign." "Anyway, who cares?" "I don't care." "It kind of seems like you do." "No, I don't." "Mm." "I don't care about everybody working on my account." "I've never minded competition." "It's just..." "Nobody's helping me, you know?" "Everybody else has someone else looking out for them, and I'm just..." "I'm on my own." "I never know what's going on politically." "Nobody's ever rooting for me to win." "And the one time I thought I had a leg up by partnering with the creative director, it turns out everybody else has two legs up." "Mm." "Well, that's an image." "Well, enjoy it, Conner." "Go forth and be the savior of dove hair care." "I am done fighting unfair fights." "Sarah... there's a reason nobody helps you." "Really?" "Yeah." "What's that?" "Your reputation is huge." "Y-you seem confident, you know, in your... your own bizarre way." "Okay, let's just stop right there." "With me calling you bizarre?" "It's not like I haven't thought about it, you know." "But it would just be too weird." "What would be too weird?" "Oh." "Oh." "You think I'm hitting on you?" "Yeah." "And it is not a good idea." "Our offices are right next to each other." "Plus, with the whole me-and-Mason thing, I don't need the drama, okay?" "The whole you-and-Mason thing makes this a bad idea?" "It's always so weird after you make out with someone." "It's even weirder when the guy you made out with in an alley becomes your boss, but... that was a long time ago, so... you and Mason..." "Mm-hmm." "A few too many drinks at the company Christmas party." "No big deal." "Yeah, no big deal." "You're still here?" "Hey." "I'm just going through some of your scripts." "They're not funny." "Well, thanks for the input." "Good night." "No, no." "I-I mean that in a good way." "You know, I was expecting snarky and cynical from you, but these are, uh... emotional." "You sound so surprised." "I am-pleasantly." "I think these could be great." "Really?" "Which campaign?" "Well, um, they're all good, but, I mean, if I was to pick just one," "I'd start with the park-bench script." "'Cause it's simple, insightful, honest." "But I wouldn't go with illustrations." "I actually picked some photography I had on file." "It's elegant and really captures the emotion of the thing." "Do you know Robert Whitman's stuff?" "If you're saying all of this to make me feel better, it's very sweet, but I don't need your pity." "You can't have my pity." "I need that for myself." "Look, I know it's late, but do you feel like doing some work?" "Seriously?" "I think this area is right on." "But, overall, I think the tone is a little down." "Well, I mean, it kind of has to be down." "The whole point is that it's hard being a woman, and any product that pretends that it's not is full of it." "I know, and I get that." "I get that." "But... there's got to be a way of being honest without being brutally honest... you know, some little executional something that just leaves the viewer with a little hope." "I'm a lot better at locating heartbreak, collapsing career prospects, and dysfunctional relationships." "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "I've heard all that before." "Come on." "Use your imagination." "Okay." "Okay." "How about this?" "How about..." "I've been thinking about this a little bit." "I don't know if it's gonna work or not, but..." "Wake up." "Oh, man." "Must have dozed off." "You didn't sleep here last night?" "Huh?" "No." "Wearing the same clothes." "You smell awful." "You have a fight with Erin?" "And I had a lot of work to do." "Not mine, I see." "Yeah." "Yours is over here." "You don't like it?" "Looks great." "Not as nice as what you've been doing for Sarah." "Is something wrong, Conner?" "Nope." "Nothing wrong." "Whose sweater is that?" "What?" "I don't know." "Sarah's, I guess." "Why?" "No reason." "See you at the meeting." "Yeah." "Oh, don't forget... we've got the phone interview with Fallon at 11:00." "I didn't forget." "Good morning, everybody." "Let's get started." "Client meeting is at 4:00." "Why don't we run through our ideas with the client-service team here and see if we can come up with a consensus recommendation?" "I wouldn't worry about culling things down right now." "This client likes to have a lot of options." "I realize that." "I just don't want to present anything we can't live with." "Well... okay." "Hey, guys." "Mind if I just sit in?" "Of course not." "Uh, please sit at the table." "You'll see better." "Oh, no, Mason." "Don't mind me." "I'm just a fly on the wall." "Please-continue." "Okay." "Can we finish this?" "So, the Mayor has his pants down around his ankles, and the reporter is just staring at him." "Finally, the Mayor's press secretary pulls a bottle out of her purse." "The announcer says, "next generation dove therapy conditioners-"damage control..." "For your hair."" "It seems like the whole deal with women and their hair..." "I-it's kind of like a battle." "They're never happy about it." "They're always trying to fix it." "Tom:" "And we think it's time that everyone..." "Make peace with your hair." "Oh." "Now, we think this idea is bigger than just advertising, so we're proposing a whole series of events that take place in all the major markets." "Imagine... it's noon in Manhattan." "You're walking through midtown, want to get some lunch." "When suddenly..." "Thousands of white doves are released into the air." "The white dove... symbol of peace." "Oh..." "God." "Oh." "Oh, I am so sorry." "Oh, my God." "I got it." "It's good luck." "Here." "I got it." "It's a normal partly cloudy day in an American city." "A young woman sits on a bench in a park all by herself, and one look on this woman's face, and you can tell that it has been a bad day." "We, um, we watch this young woman as she struggles to try to keep it together." "And at that moment, a nice-looking man walks up, passes behind the woman, and he offers her a tissue." "And the announcer says, "we can't repair your love life." "But we can repair your hair." "And that's a start."" "Well, those are three very different ideas." "What are you going to recommend, Mason?" "Um..." "Well, I think all three are, uh Really strong." "But I would go with Sarah's campaign." "Hmm." "Okay, how about this?" "A young woman, early 20s, walks into her mother's kitchen." "The girl is dressed for her first day of work." "And her mother looks her up and down." "And the mother says..." ""You're not going to wear that, are you?"" ""We can't repair your relationship with your mother, but we can repair your hair."" ""And that's a start."" "Nicely done, everybody." "Mason, thank you so much." "No need." "I recommended the best." "Oh, I had forgotten what it felt like to have a good day." "Well, you earned it." "Now you just got to go and sell it to the client this afternoon." "Well, you're coming, too." "No." "Your work, your meeting." "Really?" "Really." "Okay." "That sounds great." "Go get 'em." "And, uh, get your sweater while you're at it." "Okay." "Hi." "Congratulations." "Thank you very much." "I thought your senator spot was really funny... yeah, he was a Mayor." "Denise seems happy." "You don't." "No, I like my campaign better." "You always do." "Something on your mind?" "Yeah." "Or did you forget about it?" "What?" "Phone interview with Fallon." "Oh, God." "Do you have the... you are joining a conference already in session." "Hey, it's Mason." "And..." "Why didn't you tell me you had an affair with" "Sarah Krajicek-hunter?" "I tell you everything-everything." "You and Sarah-that's why you picked her work over ours." "I picked the best campaign." "No, you didn't." "Tell me you're not having an affair with her." "I am not having an affair." "So, two months ago," "Sarah Krajicek-hunter, out of nowhere, comes to work for our group, and then, two short months after that, you're recommending her work over our work?" "That's just ridiculous!" "Is it more or less ridiculous than you waking up on your couch with her sweater over you?" "Oh, just stop, okay?" "Let's get back on the phone and finish this interview." "I'm not moving to stupid Minneapolis, freezing my ass off for someone I don't really know." "And you know what else?" "You know what else?" "You know what?" "I don't need your money." "Thanks." "No, thanks." "All right?" "I don't want to be in debt to a liar." "I didn't lie to you." "You never told me." "That's not lying." "Yes, it is." "Does Erin know?" "Nothing happened," "Conner!" "It... it was eight years ago." "It was one minute eight years ago." "It was the Rothman" "Christmas party." "You and I weren't even working together yet, okay?" "It - it... everyone's dancing, everyone's drinking, having a good time." "And-and you know what?" "She kissed me." "First." "A-and it could have gone further." "It didn't." "Because I stopped it." "Me-I stopped it." "There was no affair." "It was one kiss in an alley, and that's it." "I'm not proud of it." "But I-I pretty much forgot about it." "You know, u -until Stu hires her." "Now she's here, and there's nothing I can do about it." "I tell you everything." "You didn't tell me about the raise." "I tell you everything important." "So do I." "Amy." "Good to see you." "Judy, it's so good to see you, too." "Please, have a seat." "Thank you." "Are we waiting for Mason?" "Uh, actually, Mason will not be joining us today." "You all know" "Sarah Krajicek-Hunter." "It's just" ""Sarah Krajicek" now." "Oh." "Okay." "Mason wanted Sarah to come today because he felt there was only one campaign worth presenting and that it was Sarah's." "Well, I'm excited to see it." "Though many of us felt there was a lot of good work in the room." "There was actually one with a... dove." "Okay, thank you, Amy." "I'll take it from here." "Great." "I've been trying to get myself taken off this account for the past, oh, two months." "No offense." "I've just never really gotten hair-care advertising... gorgeous, confident women tossing their perfect hair around in the mirror." "It's not what I feel like." "And I know no matter how good a conditioner is, it's not going to make me feel like that." "Not if my career is stalling out." "I can't even get my ex-husband to call me back." "Look... don't tell me you can make me a supermodel, because it's a lie, and I'm sick of being lied to." "You know, you can lie to someone, and for a while, they'll like you, and they'll be happy." "But sooner or later, they're going to realize that you lied to them, and they'll never trust you again." "And that's fine for other brands, but not for you guys." "You aren't just selling a product." "You're building a relationship." "And you want to build trust with people for years and years to come." "Erin, would you sit down for a minute?" "Uh, there's... something I need to tell you." "And that means you have to be honest with them." "I haven't been entirely honest with you about something." "Stupid-it's nothing, really, but..." "Well, the longer I don't say anything, the bigger a deal it is." "What is it?" "I, uh..." "I never got that raise." "And that's why I was so upset about the renovation." "Why didn't you tell me that?" "Did you think I was gonna be mad?" "No, I-I just..." "I was embarrassed." "You don't think" "I'm one of those shrewish wives that just spends and nags, do you?" "No, I don't think that, and I'm-I'm sorry that I didn't say anything." "I am, too." "I must have given you an aneurysm with that $60 tile." "Mild chest pains." "You know, some numbness in my extremities." "But..." "No more secrets, okay?" "No more secrets."
