Mirrors 2 Page #2

next week...

get back to a regular

appointment type thing?

Sure.

Yeah.

I'll run the numbers tomorrow.

Okay. And then I placed the orders

for size 8 through 12.

- No. No!

- Why? But-

It's like I told you earlier. I don't

want to order any of the larger sizes.

But I don't-

Why, Jenna?

Why?

Because this Mayflower has to convey

the message that it's a boutique.

And boutique

implies skin and bones.

Yeah, I'm really sure.

Right, right. Okay.

So, if we do the research...

and it shows that the demographic

is full of heifers...

then we'll order accordingly.

But listen to me- Until then, four is

the new eight. Do you understand me?

- Yeah, I got it.

- Thank you. Talk to you later.

Camera in the bathroom?

Henry, you dirty dog.

Just want to check in

on my new favorite employee.

I'm good. Just happy to be here,

Mr. Landreaux.

We're happy to have you, Max.

Your dad entrusted me with the opening

of the new Mayflower as my top priority.

You seem committed,

being here so late.

Yeah. I can't let anything

interfere with our grand opening.

Yeah. I should do my rounds.

Hey, Max,

will you do me a favor?

Call me Keller.

We're all family here at the Mayflower.

Okay.

Jenna?

What are you-

No!

F***.

Morning', rookie.

So, how did that last night go?

Everything all right?

Dr. Beaumont's office.

This is Max Matheson. I need to see

Dr. Beaumont as soon as possible.

Okay, let me see what I have.

How do you think this happened?

I don't know.

Looks more like a-

just a terrible accident...

but maybe someone killed her.

Homicide by handmade guillotine?

That would impress even yours truly.

Yeah, me too, Pete.

Me too.

- Dr. Beaumont?

- Yes?

Do you really believe all that, your

explanation for what's happening to me?

Well, of course.

There's really no other explanation.

And the fact that it's

all related to the mirrors...

that that's how

I'm seeing these visions?

Mco naissance.

What's that?

It's a French term from Jacques Lacan's

mirror stage of psychoanalytic theory.

The ego is a product

of false reflections.

Mco naissance-

when the subject is alienated

from his or her self.

In English?

Nobody sees anything in a mirror...

that isn't simply a part of them...

not even things

they think they're seeing.

Every culture has its own particular

myth set regarding mirrors.

In Korea, for example...

it's believed that a person's soul

can be trapped inside of a mirror...

as it leaves the body.

You've heard the old adage, a cracked
