SALESWOMAN:

(sot.to)

There ' s nothing I love more than a dumb

blonde with daddy's plastic.

She grabs a dress off the Clearance Sale rack, ripping off

the "HALF PRICE" TAG.

ON ELLE AND THE GIRLS

. SERENA

I can't wait to see you wearing The Rock!

Elle looks at them, suddenly concerned.

ELLE:

Wh at if -- you know -- it's not the

night?

MARGOT:

Why else would he be taking you to The

Ivy? You've been dating for a year --

it's not like he's trying to impress you.

SERENA:

Elle, you've heard the man pass gas in

his sleep. That practically means you're

pre-engaged. '"

The Saleswoman approaches with the dress, kiss-assy smile on

her face.

SALESWOMAN:

Did you see this one? We just got it in

yesterday.

Elle fingers the dress, then the new price tag, looking back

at the saleswoman, excited.

ELLE:

Is this a low-viscosity rayon?

SALESWOMAN:

Uh, yes -- of course.

ELLE:

With half-loop top-stitching on the hem?

SALESWOMAN:

(smiling a lie)

Absolutely. It's one of a kind.

^ Elle hands the dress back to her, no longer pretending to be

excited.

ELLE:

It's impossible to use a half-loop

topstitch on low-viscosity rayon. It

would snag the fabric. And you didn't

just get this in, because I remember it

from the June Vogue a year ago, so if

you're trying to sell it to me at full

price, you picked the wrong girl.

The saleswoman slinks off, embarrassed.

MARGOT:

(to the saleswoman)

Nice try...
