In Her Shoes Page #2

Synopsis: Two sisters, plus a dead mother, a remarried father, and a hostile step-mother. The sisters, each in her way, have perfected the art of losing. The elder, Rose, is an attorney, responsible, lonely, with a closet full of shoes. The younger is Maggie, beautiful, selfish, and irresponsible. Her drunken behavior gets her tossed by her step-mother from her dad's house; worse behavior gets her tossed from Rose's apartment. Then, while searching in her father's desk for money to filch, Maggie finds an address; the past and the future open up to her and, with any luck, may open to her sister as well.

a deposition schedule today.

And, Ellen, you should start drafting

a summary judgment motion.

I'll need to see that before we file it,

so you'll need to get it to me by Thursday, okay?

Let's get to it.

[ Man ] Listen, uh,

I'm supposed to go to Chicago...

to do some recruiting interviews

next weekend, but it's my kid's birthday.

- Can you go for me?

- Chicago?

- Yeah.

- It's cold there.

- Aw, come on. I promised I'd be the clown.

- I don't know.

If I could drag an associate along to help

with interviews so I don't fall behind.

Uh, Feller?

- Any interest? Chicago?

- Oh, gee, I don't know.

I mean, like you said,

it's... pretty cold there.

- [ Chuckles ]

- Buy some mittens.

Rose. Your sister.

Guess who's in New York waiting for

her callback to be the next MTVveejay?

Well, uh-

[ Chuckles ]

Out of curiosity, um, how much

did it cost you to get up there?

Who cares? I'll make it back.

Oh, right, when MTV hires you

and makes you a great big star.

Would it kill you to be supportive?

I mean, would that just send you

into "anaphallic" shock or something?

Anaphylactic, Maggie, not "anaphallic. "

- [ Sighs ]

- [ Man ] Maggie May Feller!

I have to go. That's me.

- [ Man ] You're next.

- Excuse me.

- [ Man ] Welcome back, Maggie May.

- Thank you. It's good to be back.

Now, you see the screen

with the words on it?

Just read what it says...

andjust... look into the camera...

and give it that- that personality.

Just let it shine through.

Okay, whenever you're ready.

"It's Friday afternoon on"- Oh.

- [ Exhales ]

- Okay. Let's try again.

- Okay.

- Just relax.

"It's Friday afternoon on TRL and"-

[ Man ]

Take it back.

"It's Friday afternoon

on TRL and later today"-

[ Laughs Nervously ]

[ Man ]

You okay, Maggie May?

[ Whispering ]

Yeah.

[ Door Opens ]

[ Door Closes ]

Well? Are you famous yet?

Aposition in retail.

Employment history?

- dd [ Dance ]

- [ Sighs ]

What was your last job?

- LuckyJeans for three weeks.

- Why'd it end?

[ Sighs ]

Some crazy b*tch with a coupon.

The coupon says 15%!

What's your problem?

Okay, well, if anyone asks, just...

say it wasn't challenging enough.

And before that was the restaurant, right?

The Canal House?

[ Laughing ]

[ Metal Letter Clanging ]

- And before that?

- [ Sighs ]

Before that? The Gap.

Before that? The Limited.

Wanamaker's Fragrance,

Wanamaker's Accessories.

Oh, come on. You really don't

want to do this right now, do you?

No, but I also don't want you

on my couch for the next three months.

[ Sighs ] I'll let you do my resume

if you let me do your makeup.

- [ Scoffs ] Forget it.

- Why?

I don't know- at some point today,
