27 Dresses Page #3

They won't bother you.

They will pretend they never even met you.

You can't beat that.

Well, it's not gonna

matter much longer anyway.

- You're looking at my ticket

out of the taffeta ghetto.

- Keep on dreaming.

- Uh, go away.

- Yes. Okay.

What? I wasn't gonna come

to work in my bridesmaid dress.

Two-day walk of shame outfit.

Elegant.

What happened to you

the other night?

You were barely there,

and then you disappeared.

- You meet someone?

- Come on. No.

Oh. Ridiculous question.

- Good morning, Gina.

- Hi.

- You haven't seen my Filofax

anywhere, have you?

- No.

No. Okay.

I'll go look for it.

- Did you get those catalog pages in for George?

- No.

Okay. No worries.

I'll get them from production.

Attagirl.

Show her who's boss.

- I'm not her boss.

- You're the boss's assistant.

Same diff. What's the good of your job

if you can't abuse the power?

- Casey, go to Accounting.

- Now you're bossy.

Where the hell

did I put that thing?

That is a great idea for the front page

of the section.

Oh, come on, Doyle. How many times

have I heard this from you?

- I'm telling you, Maureen. It's a great idea.

- Really?

As great as your last great idea, an expose

on price-fixing at wedding bakeries?

Yes! Yes! They're ripping people off.

Flour costs pennies per ounce.

That's an 8000/0 markup.

It's outrageous.

Yes, it is.

Also, no one cares.

What about the piece I wanted to do on

the exploitation of workers in lace factories?

- That is a killer piece.

- Oh, right.

That's what people really wanna

read about in the Style section.

Kevin, this section practically

pays for the entire paper.

Our advertisers want fun, upbeat,

colorful human-interest stories...

- opposite their products.

- So that's what we're about now? Making money?

- Get out.

- All right. Listen. That was not right.

I get it. But this one is.

Look, this woman...

- has been in seven weddings--

- So?

This year. She was in two

on Saturday alone.

But it won't just be about her.

It'll be an incisive look at how the wedding

industry has transformed something...

that should be an important rite

of passage into nothing more

than a corporate revenue stream.

In a fun, upbeat, you know,

cheerful way.

Look, Maureen, I am dying

back there in Commitments.

If I have to write another sentence about

baby's breath, I'm gonna shoot myself.

This is a real story.

This is what I wanna do.

I need you covering weddings.

That's what you're good at.

And that's what

I need you to do.

If you don't start giving me feature stories,

I'm gonna have to quit.

One chance. If I don't like it, you go back

to Commitments for the rest of your life...
