Mannequin: On the Move Page #2

---

at the airport tonight.

This whole event

has to go off without a hitch,

otherwise, heads will roll.

He's not kidding.

That's him right there.

Mr. James, I'm so sorry.

It was an accident.

It will never happen again, I promise.

- Excuse me, Mr. James?

- Not now.

An accident?

You destroy a mannequin

during store hours

and you call it an accident?

- Mr. James.

- Not now!

What do you do, Albert?

I work for Mr. Montrose, sir.

On the Hauptmann-Koenig presentation?

- Mr. James.

- Not now!

Do you realize

how important that presentation is?

The cream of Philadelphia society

is going to be here.

The eyes of the entire city

will be on that presentation

and on this store and on me.

- Do you understand?

- Yes.

- And have you learned your lesson?

- Yes, sir.

Good. You're fired.

For best effect,

deplore neglect, demand respect.

"Deplore neglect, demand respect. "

Now.

I'm Jason Williamson.

I think I'm supposed to report to you.

I'm the new trainee.

Ah.

Well, lucky you.

It seems we have an opening

on Mr. Montrose's staff.

Just because Hauptmann-Koenig is drab

does not mean that we have to be.

I'm going to breathe some life

into this presentation.

Remember, the password is pizzazz!

Stop! Wait!

Do you remember Miss Diana Ross

in the movie Mahogany?

Yeah.

Give me cheekbones, or give me death!

Five, six, seven, eight.

Mr. James is coming!

Mr. James is coming!

Scatter, children! Scatter!

Bring down the curtains!

Montrose. Montrose! I need to talk to you.

The Wizard's not here. Go away. Go away.

- Montrose!

- Laughing, joking, kidding.

I'd like you to meet your new assistant.

What happened to Albert?

Albert was a blemish

on the face of Prince and Company.

I fired him.

Just like you did

those 18 other assistants?

Guess there's no use in worrying

about the pension plan around here, huh?

He's got a sense of humor. I like that.

We can use that around here.

No peeking!

- Why won't you let me see it?

- Because I am an artiste.

You wouldn't want to interrupt

the creative flow, would you?

Montrose, this show

will be elegant and demure, won't it?

- No crazy stuff.

- You have my word.

Fine.

The pursuit of excellence

begins with elegance.

"The pursuit of excellence

begins with elegance. "

I haven't been elegant and demure

since I graduated from finishing school.

Entre.

She's pretty.

What is all this

enchanted-peasant-girl stuff?

Oh, it's a typical old world tale.

Girl meets prince.

Evil sorcerer turns girl into wood

for 1,000 years,

Lord knows how.

Wooden girl becomes

major tourist attraction.

Yeah, that's pretty typical, all right.

Would you like to try

one of our new fragrances?
