M is for mystery.

And I really shouldn't have

told you that,

because we're keeping the concept

under wraps

until we launch the fragrance tomorrow.

But, you know, since this is educational...

It's, you know...

I guess, technically speaking,

I'm an intern, at the moment,

but I've been taking initiatives

at a high level.

Such as...

Well, for example,

I've been brainstorming in some depth

about names for the fragrance.

At first, I thought of Perfume...

...or Scent.

Straightforward, you know?

Anyway, when this M idea came up, I...

Well, to be honest,

it was my idea, actually.

Well, right away I thought of tag lines,

such as "the mystery thing",

or "M is for mother",

you know, for the mother's market.

A lot of people are buying perfume

for mothers.

mujer.

That's Spanish, right, Michelangelo?

There's a great big niche right there.

God, the Latin American sector.

Or M is for motherf***er...

...which is for the African-American...

...community.

I like to do invisible or very visible.

Same thing.

It's about quality.

I give quality.

Er... no matter if they see or not see.

Come.

Come, come.

Like me.

I am not visible.

In this city, I no exist.

I come, I go, when they want.

Er...

It's better for me

and it's very better for them,

because they no have to pay

insurance, vacations, you know.

Used to be all on 8th Avenue,

and then it was Asian families

in Brooklyn.

And now it's China.

Everything's made in China.

You don't believe me,

look inside your shoe.

They say the time will come

when nothing is made here, not a thing.

I do believe that life

will become difficult for some people

in this country in the near future.

Indeed...

It already is difficult,

and that is what the people outside,

yes, that's what

they're protesting about.

OK, OK, OK, OK, Michelangelo.

One second, Michelangelo.

(Sighs)

It is true the collection

is not inexpensive. OK.

But you have to pay for beauty.

One way or another, you have to pay.

In this case, OK, with money.

OK?

I must go now.

Wait, wait.

Except... the point is,

my work influences everyone

even if they cannot afford it.

You see, it is like

a secret research laboratory.

In that sense, I am a scientist.

Yes, I make discoveries!

You see, a dress is not just a dress.

It is a...

...a revelation.

It is like a sacred vessel

for the... miraculous.

In that sense, I am also a priest.

Yes, fashion is very spiritual. Very.

OK? Now I must go.

Rhoda, she's my agent.

She said, like, if I work really hard

this year, I can make it big.

But, of course, she said in order

to be big, you have to be little.

That's Dorothy.

She's crying cos she thinks
