Two Weeks Notice Page #2

Synopsis: Harvard educated lawyer Lucy Kelson, following in the footsteps of her lawyer parents, uses her career for social activism. She hides any sense of femininity behind her work. George Wade is the suave public face of the Manhattan-based Wade Corporation, a development firm that Lucy routinely opposes and whose true head is George's profit-oriented brother, Howard Wade. George, who has a reputation as a lady's man, has had as his legal counsel a series of beautiful female lawyers with questionable credentials, they who have more primarily acted as his casual sex partners. Needing a real lawyer, he offers Lucy the job of his legal counsel on a chance meeting. Despite warnings from her parents in working for the "enemy", Lucy, who has no intention of being the latest in his bed partners, accepts the job as she feels she can do more good from the inside, and as George, as part of the job offer, promises not to demolish a community center in a heritage building as part of a development projec

- Right.

Forty-five minutes, 6.5 miles an hour,

at an elevation of three.

It's incredible how much

more relaxed I feel.

- Helen does an hour a day too.

- Yes, you both seem extremely relaxed.

You can cut the relaxation with a knife.

So why am I here, Howie?

We lost the West Side waterfront deal

because your chief counsel...

...your latest model/attorney...

...forgot to file

an Environmental Impact Report.

I will admit that the law

is not Amber's strong point.

- That's why I fired her.

- No, I fired her.

Just as I fired Debbie

from St. Barts' Law School...

...and Stacy from Online Law School.

I want someone from Yale or Columbia

or from the continental United States.

Women of that level of intellectual ability

often find me shallow.

- Then hire a man.

- Don't be absurd.

Because they wouldn't sleep with you?

No, because it would make you

and Dad too happy.

Dad has been dead for 10 years.

Well, there is no reason for him

to start enjoying himself now.

You need someone who can write

a brief instead of removing yours.

And she can handle your divorce

while she's at it.

You are still getting divorced?

Unless my ex-wife decides to fall in love

with me again, or for the first time, yeah.

No! Why do you always

find that so funny?

- It's very hard to say.

- Hire a real attorney by tomorrow.

Don't!

- Hello, have a good day.

- Thank you, ma'am.

- So you're Russian, you say?

- 100%% .

Hence, blond hair,

blue eyes, cheekbones.

Sorry to have kept you so long, but at least

I feel I know everything about you.

And I you. You know, usually I'm so nervous

at interviews, but that was fun.

Yes. Isn't "fun" fun?

It's been a pleasure, Tiffany.

Mr. Wade? Mr. Wade?

Hi, I'm Lucy Kelson. I'm an attorney.

Have you ever heard

of Saint-Tropez Law School?

- No.

- Shame.

- Where did you go to law school?

- Harvard.

- Harvard?

- Yes.

Intriguing. Tell me more.

What's your background?

I don't see how that's relevant.

I work for the Coalition for the Homeless.

- I'm working at Legal Aid.

- That can't pay much.

Well, I'm not very interested in money.

Now, Mr. Wade...

Wait a minute. You're Kelson.

You lie in front of our wrecking balls.

- You attacked the Zegman brothers...

- I did not.

It's not my fault they walked

under a protest sign.

- You're not here for a job?

- I'm here representing...

...the Coney Island Community Center.

It was built in 1922.

It's the heart of Coney Island.

It has adult education, basketball...

...CPR, Lamaze, water ballet,

senior's tae kwon do. It's great.

For children, it's a home away from home.

I mean, I practically grew up there.

It's lovely, but Trump

has the inside track. Nice to meet you.
