"I was working till 2:30 in the morning." "It's just like, mommy's working too hard." "Mommy's in her office all the time working." "Mommy was out partying again." "Pretend to be sympathetic, would you?" "I literally have had, maximum, six hours' sleep a night" "Since you've been away." "So you know..." " But why?" "I mean, what's the deal?" "Are you listening to me, or are you just" "Yeah, no, but why are you having every night?" "I mean, there's not- you haven't been" "Because I had my deadline."

"I mean, where does "swanning around"" "Come into my life?" "Seriously, just chill." "Excuse me?" "I definitely underestimated, when I moved here," "How much charles was gonna be away working." "It was quite a shock for me." "Coming up..." "Oh..." "My gosh." "What's up, baby?" "Charlotte!" "How are you?" "Mwah!" "Happy birthd." "You done good, baby." "You done good." "Thank you."

"What are people saying about my party?" "Um, I think everybody had a great time, honestly." "It was a lot of fun." "A fabulous night." "There's just one thing that I have to tell you about." "I did not want to ruin your night," "Because it was your birthday, and it should be perfect." "Oh, charlotte." "Um, I got a call from michaele's attorney." "He called you?" "He called me, yes." "It was very odd." "I'm, like, "what are you calling me for?"" "And he's, like, "I need you to put in writing" ""that my clients, michaele and tareq salahi," "Are not gonna have to pay for this party."" "Charlotte, I'm hoping this is an exaggeration." "No, I'm not exaggerating." "What he said, basically, was "my clients will not" "Come this evening."" "That's what he started with." "So they were threatening not to come to..." "They were threatening not to come" "Unless I could put in writing" "That they weren't gonna be held liable, which was ridiculous." "That's why she didn't show up" "To the four seasons, I bet." "I think they just wanted to give the appearance" "That they were hosting..." " Hosting the party..." " Right." "And bringing the wine." "Which he brought one bottle of champagne" "That he lanced on lynda's ass." "This is a tareq thing to me." "Well, I don't know them well enough to say." " Well, I do." " I know, I know." "And I don't see her getting with her lawyer" "And concocting some b.S. Like this." "A signed document saying" "That you're not gonna pay for anything" "To go in somebody's party?" "No, that's not what a good friend would do." "Honey, wait a minute." "Look at the eiffel tower right there." " Oh, my god." " It's right there." "Oh, I'm so happy to be here!" "Yeah, this is a good spot." "This is a good spot." "Honey, do you know the last time we were here" "Was, like, four years ago." "Oh, my god, has it been that" "And check this out." "I love this." "Jason and I share a love for adventure." "Hello, madam." "Hello,onsieur." "Bonjour, bonjour." "Merci beaucoup." " You have to talk in french." " Oh, sorry." "He can understand you." " Un peu." "Un peu." " Un peu?" "I speak french, you know:" "Je parle francais un peu." "That means, "I don't speak much french."" "When I go to France, I butcher their language to death."

"Nice to meet you." "You know, stacie, this is the most famous shopping" "In all of paris here." "Oh, I ve it." "See, we're normally near the champs-elysees," "But, oh, my god, this is ntastic."

"Wait a minute, the last time we were around some champagne" "Walter, you did not see this." "He cut the ." "I sliced the top of the bottle of champagne off" "With a saber." "And you learned this from what samurai?" "Michaele and tareq are unlike any of our friends." "Cheers." "We're so thrilled to be here in paris." "Our other favorite city." "He is extravagant." "He's just extravagant in everything that he does." "I just think that's how they roll." "Okay, here's to another great date." "Our friendship grows." "Global bff." "Yeah." "Bff forever." "Hello?" "Hi, paul." "W are you?" "I'm good." "What's going on?" "What's going on?" "I haven't spoken with you in a while." "How are you?" "Yeah." "Uh-huh." "Oh, my gosh." "You've got to be kidding me." "I received an invitation that paul wharton's birthday party" "Was gonna be hosted by michaele salahi." "In d.C., etiquette says that if you are hosting the party," "That means you are paying for the party." "Tareq and michaele didn't even pay for the cake." "Didn't even pay for anything." "And the fact that she was going to paris," "It's absolutely appalling to me." "If you can go to paris," "You certainly should be able to contribute" "To airday party that you're hosting." "I just want you to know that I'm here for you and love you." "Anytime." "Hey." "Hey, stacie." "How you doing?" "Are you excited?" "Beat assailant, aka my brother-in-law," "Is number one on the charts," "And he's introduced an entirely new genre" "Of music to paris." "I'm just glad y'all are here." "We are just so proud of that kid." "After college, adam just picked up" "And moved from atlanta to paris," "And could not speak a lick of french," "All to pursue his music passion." "I'm pumped up for him." "I mean, you know, he's about to go out there" "And do the damn thing." "B.A.!" "B.A.!" "B.A.!" "* *" "Oh, you can tell that michaele is a party girl." "She was right at home in the concert." "* *" "It was just so funny to see tareq let loose." "He didn't have on a sport coat, he wasn't stuffy anymore." "He was groovin' with his wife, she was groovin' with me." "I looked over there at one point," "And she was trying to dance up on stacie." "I was, like, "oh, okay." "It's getting a little euro here, but you know, it's all good."" "Bravo!" "Bravo!" "This is the best time we've ever had," "And I love it..." "That we met you all." "The salahis are going to be hanging with the turners." "Coming up..." "I don't want to be anywhere near" "Wherever my seat is, it better be" "On the other side of the mountain." "Well, where is our host and hostess?" " How's school?" " OK" "Today we had an assembly about "sexting."" "Sexting?" " Yeah." "Meghan..." "I don't think I've ever heard you use that word" "Sssss..." "The "s" word." "What is sexting?" "I haven't heard it as "sexting."" "I knew it was sex texting." "Do you know anyone who's done that?" "Really?" "Wow, I'm not ready for you to be..." "Even hearing about all this." "Oh, meghan!" "And there you are." "You can figure out how you want the bags" "Set up on you, or we'll take a look" "After you sort of visually get them on your arm." "I'm doing a photo shoot for the cover of my book." "Charles was in new york, and so he had to cancel me," "His wife." "How many bags can one woman hold at once?" "Down, bag!" "I'm not about putting on fake appearances," "And I want my book to represent me," "Which is not about shopping and looking glamorous." "I like that a lot." "Now laugh real loud." " Laugh?" " Yeah." "You're a good fake laugher." "Yeah, I know." "I don't know whether they like" "I don't know whether they want the laughing." "But okay, we can try it anyway." "Just as an option." "All right, angle your right foot more." "You actually want me to take steps?" "Yes, exactly." "Stop." "Think runway." "So" " Think runway, sweetie." " So you're crossing." "This time a little more dangerous." "Oh..." "I struggle with letting people tell me what to do" "When I don't feel that it's right." "Hold it." "Close your lips." "A little more shocking." "That looks good." "Okay, so see, you look great." "Uh, this looks a bit, um..." "Staged." "That's the kind of thing they're after, I think." "So you know, I need to give them what they want." " Right." " Right." "Let's do the one over the shoulder," "And then, um, I think we're done." "Okay." "Stay like that." "Perfect." "Nice." "Hold it like that." "Now you can relax a second." "Hey, it's charlie." "I was really happy when charles showed up" "Because I just couldn't wait to see him." "Charles was undoubtedly thinking," ""I'm gonna get her changed," "Get her looking the way she should look."" "I knew he couldn't wait to get me out of there." "If there's anyone that could photograph me," "And I could feel comfortable in front of, it's charles." "Whew." "Here we are." "This is where we're going, darling," "So park anywhere you can." "I've always wanted to come and shoot something here." "I always liked this kind of huge hole in the ground" "Kind of feeling." "And then we're going to go down a bit further, okay?" "Just a mild vertigo." "Okay, well, it is pretty hardcore up here," "That's great." "Stay just like that." "Perfect." "And we're moving across a little bit." "Lots of attitude, baby." "I love watching charles work" "Because he's so talented," "And he's so clever at what he does," "And he puts so much thought into it." "Oh, this is nice." "Stay just like that." "That's great." "And, of course, my husband makes me feel" "Much better behind the lens." "Great." "So hopefully they'll be happy with what we've done." "I think we've pretty much got it in the bag." "Yeah, and I prefer it without all the shopping bags as well." " I hate the shopping bags." " Me too." "See ya, dupont circle." "Well done, then." "We could not have had a better day for shopping." "This is so fun, shopping." "Like, for us, it's so cool" "To be here and to have family here." "And, you know, to have new friends come here," "Which was totally unexpected." "And what's so cool is that, you know," "Jason's family has really become my family." "'cause you don't know that much about me," "But I was adopted when I was a baby." "So like, six months." " Oh, okay." "Michaele seems to have a really nice and sweet heart," "So I just want to share with her" "This journey that I'm on to find my birth parents." "And you know, when you're adopted," "You just don't know what your family history is." "Right." "You still want to know, like, who you are." "Right." "I would." "I'm like you- I would want to know." "So I started on this whole journey" "Of trying to find my birth mother." "Found out information about her." " You did?" " Well, we made contact," "But we've had a complete breakdown." " In what sense?" " And the breakdown" "Well, the breakdown is coming in that" "I also want to know my birth father," "And I'm totally interested in that side of the family." "But she will not tell me anything." "In my life, I feel like I have everything." "The only thing that I don't have" "Is an answer to, "who are my blood relatives?"" "Will she let you know who your dad is?" "She's, like, "no, I can't tell you because, one," "He doesn't know about you."" "And I'm, like, "what do you mean?"" "He doesn't know about you-- the dad?" "Your dad?" " No." "Oh, my gosh." "Oh, my gosh." "So, I mean, it could be-- it's crazy." "It's crazy." " But I love that you set out" "On the journey to find her- I would do that." "Can you imagine being the parent of that beautiful child," "And never knowing it?" "That's not fair to him." "All I want is the information on where he is," "And for him to know that, hey, I exist." ""I'm out here." that's a story." "That's a great honor." "That's a privilege" "To have someone open up their heart." "It made the paris trip so much more special." "I love spending time with you." " I know." " It's great." " We're here!" " Oh, my god!" " Hi." " Oh, my god!" "Oh, my god!" "Who are you?" "I never see you with straight hair." "I know, I love it." "This is the first time I've ever seen it." "Oh, nice." "Isn't this hot?" " Is this where we're spooning?" " Uh-huh." "I'm in the middle." "I would consider ted and jason besties." "For sure." "We have become very tight." "Are we excited about the party?" "I'm so excited, I can't even begin" "To tell you." "All we had to do was put your name on the invitation," "And it went from, like, 6 people coming to 30." "Oh, stop." "Ted knows that I know some key players" "In fashion and the social world of d.C." " To fabulous friends..." " Yes." "And the movers and shakers of d.C. Getting all together." "I am so giddy." "Well, you know, the glam squad is gonna be here." " Okay." "Awesome." " They're on their way." "We'll figure out where we're gonna put everybody" "So we can get everybody dolled up" "Hair done, makeup done." "All the girls are coming to the event tonight," "And we're gonna get our hair and makeup done" "By the ted gibson team." "Are you ready for me, honey?" " I am." "what do you think about this?" "Rapunzel, rapunzel..." " Jewels." "It is about jewelry." "How was, um, paul's party?" "It was quite chaotic." "The salahis were the center of attention." "Apparently, the salahis didn't contribute anything" "To the whole evening." "And she was a co- and she was a co-hostess." "Wait, wait." "That's hilarious." "Because the day after paul's party," "I was coloring one of my guest's hair..." " Yes?" " And she was at the party." "And tareq came over to her table" "And said, "I hope that you're all having a great time," "Because I spent a lot of money on this party."" "Oh, my gosh." "Oh, that's..." "Can we talk about my hair?" "Can we change the subject and talk about my hair?" "Mary..." " Hi." "How are you." " Hi." "Whoo!" " Cherie!" "Hi, baby." "Bon soir!" "Mm, how are you?" "Oh, are you speaking english or french?" " darling!" " Come, come." " I'm gonna go get dressed." " We'll see you in a minute." " Hi, darling." " Hey." "How are you?" " Good." "The last few times that I've seen cat," "She's really rubbed me the wrong way." "I feel like I really don't know where cat is coming from." "Just a, like, a natural brown." "I love being pampered." "I kind of heard through the grapevine" "About the michaele scenario." "All right, I don't want to be anywhere near" "Wherever my seat is, it better be" "On the other side of the mountain." "All of a sudden there broke out" "All this talk about michaele, and I was just, like" "I don't understand." "Ted gibson, and then me, and then you." " Oh, good." " And then I think it's you." "Oh, yay." " Then--and then- -and then them." "I think." "Then and then and then and then and then and then" "And then and then and then and then and then and then." "meow." "I didn't even realize that there was friction" "Between those two people." "That's why I wanted to give you a little heads-up" "Yeah..." "That..." "I mean, I just don't want to be aggravated tonight." "I don't need that today." " Yeah." "Goodie bags!" "I love goodie bags." "Oh, look at this." "Oh, my god." " Wow, this is beautiful." " Very nice." "Very nice." "Hello." "Hi!" "You look magnificent." " Thank you." " How was paris?" " Paris was great." "It was so spontaneous." "It was absolutely fantastic." "Hello, hello, hello!" "Hello, stacie!" "How are you, love?" "Great to see you." "We had such a great time together." " It was the best concert." " We danced." " No, she's a hip-hopper." " Stop it." "There's a whole nother side here" "That we didn't know existed." "You look great." "Well, where is our host and hostess?" "Oh, yay." "That's all right." "The last time I talked to lynda" "Was at paul's party," "And, whew-- that was drama." "And you know what I've learned is move forward" "And forgive them." "I looked at tareq and I looked at michaele," "And I thought, "I don't want to be in your energy field." ""I'm not going to be rude," ""but I'm not going to go out of my way" "To speak with you either."" "Oh, my gosh." "I haven't seen michaele since my birthday." "So I have a little beef with michaele," "But I decided that it's ted's night," "And I don't want to take it up with her right there." "Hi, everybody." "Thanks, everyone, for coming." "We want to have a fantastic dinner with, I think" "Well, actually, we think" "The most spectacular people in d.C." "And this is the man." "We're so proud to have him in d.C." "Thank you." "And thanks for joining us, guys." " Thanks for joining us." " Thank you." "Wow." "My god, that looks amazing." " So tell me about paris." " Oh, my god." "Dancers, singers..." "It was ridiculous." "Stacie and I haven't got to hang out much." "And maybe she's got the wrong impression of me" "Because I know a lot of people do." "This is so divine." "I totally love cat." "I think she's hilarious." "And I love the fact that she calls it like she sees it." "Cat is our new soul sister." "Here's to my new soul sister." "Our new soul sister." "You're our new soul sister." "Now..." "Oh, my god." " Cat is our new soul sister." " Our new soul sister." "And actually, if you can sing," "We'll let you be diana ross." "I know." "Diana." "Okay." "Okay..." "Erika just turned around and said," ""what, so she can be the token black woman?"" "I just thought, "oh, my god," "Where the hell did that just come from?"" "It was so shocking" "And so inappropriate and aggressive" "Wanting to cause a fight with somebody." "It was, like, I don't think so." "I found it absolutely incredible." "Coming up next..." "She's really barking up the wrong tree with me" "Because I'm so not racist in any way." "I'm sponsoring the south america" "World cup cirque du soleil." "At the dinner, something happened" "Between erika and cat," "And cat got up from the table and walked outside." "So I got up and walked out after her." "What heck did you catch tonight?" "Lynda said something about," ""oh, you can be diana ross, " about stacie." "But she took it, for her friends," "As if lynda was maybe insulting her or kind of" "Do you know what I mean?" "I think erika might have been quite jeals" "Of my meeting all these people" "And becoming friends with people," "And she's quite, kind of, territorial." "And I think it prevented me" "From getting to know stacie better" "Because erika was like her kind of guard dog." "She kind of accused me of being racist as well," "Which I am quite offended by." "She's really barking up the wrong tree with me" "Because don't have any issues." "And I'm really quite shocked" "Because I'm so not racist in any way." " Oh, and I know that." " Sexist, racist..." "The first day I ever met you," "I was the one black person across the room," "And you were, like, "you!"" "Oh, my god, interracial love." " Don't kiss me- - you're gay and you're colored!" "Come on back here, you white woman." "Thank god for paul because he always makes me laugh." "And he knows I'm not racist, sexist--in any way prejudiced." "When I met michaele-- listen, this is a true story." "She gained at least 20 pounds" "In beautiful places after we met." "Some people make fun of michaele not eating," "But you know what, she has gained weight" "Ever since she married mr." "Salahi here." "Mr. Salahi!" "I think that tareq became very defensive" "About her eating habits." "I think he's just defensive about it" "Because he's looking at her," "And he can't possibly believe that that looked healthy." "She'll eat a whole filet mignon," "A whole chicken breast." "That's more than I eat." "Cheers to you, ted!" "A votre sante!" " Yay!" "I think he's obnoxious." "He's turning off everyone." "No wonder she's so skinny." "She's living with tareq." "We're married six years November 1st." "Am I a good husband that I know the date?" " Okay." " I am good." "I think michaele looks tired and stressed." "And if it comes down to stress," "Then you change your life." "Get rid of your husband." "On the next real housewives of d.C...." "" " Whoo!" "Tareq, I know you're american, but let's have some manners." " Cat..." " Let's just move forward." "Let's love everybody." "Love!" "Let's love everybody!" "Love is better than being bitchy towards everybody." "They snuck in and had no tickets." "Snuck into the congressional black caucus dinner?" "Oh, no."
