MIRA *

I have enough love for the both of *

us, you political royalty, you. *

GWEN *

I can’t keep using my mom for this *

stuff. I’m already using her to get *

Sophie into private school. Get in *

the car, I’m late to drop Sophie

off to hip-hop and get filler

injected in my nasolabial folds.

Mira stops Gwen. *

MIRA:

Tell me the truth. How bad is it?

GWEN:

It’s on Facebook, but it hasn’t

been re-mixed into a song yet.

Gwen hands Mira her phone. Mira watches a recording of her

toast.

MIRA (O.C.)

“Are we a hundred percent sure

she’s not a war criminal?”

MIRA (CONT’D)

Wow. I went to genocide.

GWEN:

You looked pretty, though.

MIRA:

Yeah, my hair’s not bad. Who shot

this? Why did they leave all this

space to the left of me? Know how

to center, much?

Untitled Mindy Kaling Show Pilot 1/9/12 11.

GWEN:

You’re right. That’s the takeaway.

INT. GWEN’S MERCEDES SUV - CONTINUOUS

SOPHIE, Gwen’s 6-year-old daughter, is in the back seat.

MIRA:

I’ll never give you crap for being

a housewife again. I don’t know how

to repay you.

GWEN:

I’m not a housewife. I’m an

attorney that has taken an

indefinite amount of time off to

raise my daughter. Everyone put

your seat belts on.

SOPHIE:

Mine was on the whole time.

GWEN:

Good girl.

(to Mira)

I know how you can repay me. You

could hit me up with some wink-wink

in my nasolabial folds.

MIRA:

I don’t do wink-wink. I do pap

smears. You need a plastic

surgeon.

Gwen pulls out of the parking lot.

GWEN:

I just feel like our relationship

isn’t reciprocal.

MIRA:

Uh, I protect you from yourself.

You’d look like Bruce Jenner if it

wasn’t for me.

SOPHIE:

What’s a pap smear? What’s wink-

wink?

GWEN:

Nothing sweetheart. It’s adult

stuff, like taxes.

(then, to Mira)

GWEN (CONT'D)

I want to tell you this, because I

am picking you up from a police

precinct and I think it’s timely.

You need to pull it together. *

MIRA *

I know. *

(gesturing to self) *

This person? This drunk, crime-*

committing person? She’s history. *

There is no reason for me to live *

my life like this. I went to a good *

college. I’m a successful doctor. *

My body mass index could be better *

but I’m not like, Precious or *

anything. This is my year. *

(then, empowered) *

Do you have a multi-vitamin? I feel *

like taking one. *

GWEN *

You have that date tonight with *

Dennis. Carl worked really hard to *

sell you at his firm. *

MIRA *

I am so psyched for this date. A *

real date. Not hooking up with a *

guy at the end of a party. Not *

sleeping with Jeremy because he has *

that insane, Biblical-quality hair, *

and then the next day I’m all: *
