Shit!
Andrew, hey.
Here you go. Your regular lattes.
Literally saved my life.
Thank you. Thank you.
- Everyone OK?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Me too.
Hello, Frank?
How`s my favourite writer?
Of course you`ve been thinking about
our talk because you know l`m right.
People in this country are busy,
broke, and hate to read.
They need someone to say,
``Hey! Don`t watch
CSI:
Indianapolis tonight.Read a book! Read Frank`s book.``
And that person is Oprah.
- Cuttin` it close.
- One of those mornings.
Thank you, Captain Obvious.
Sweet...
- Sorry.
-...Jesus!
Rub some dirt on it, brother.
Frank, the truth is
all A-plus novelists do publicity.
Roth, McCourt, Russo and...
Frank! Can I tell you what else
they have in common? A Pulitzer.
I need the shirt off your back.
Literally.
- You`re kidding, right?
- Yankees, Boston, this Tuesday,
two company seats for your shirt.
You have five seconds to decide.
- Five, four, three, two, one.
- I know...
Later.
Hello. Hello?
Morning. You have a
conference call in 30 minutes.
Yes. About the marketing
of the spring books. I know.
- Did you call... What`s her name?
The one with the ugly hands.
- Janet.
- Yes, Janet.
Yes. I did. I told her that if she
doesn`t get her manuscript in on time
you won`t give her a release date.
Your immigration lawyer called.
He said it`s imperative...
Cancel the call, push the meeting to
tomorrow, keep the lawyer on the sheets.
Get a hold of PR, have them
start drafting a press release.
- Wow. Nicely done.
If I want your praise,
I will ask for it.
Who is... Who is Jillian?
And why does she want me to call her?
- Well, that was originally my cup.
- And l`m drinking your coffee why?
Because your coffee spilled.
So, you drink unsweetened
cinnamon light soy lattes?
I do. It`s like Christmas in a cup.
- Is that a coincidence?
- lncredibly, it is.
I wouldn`t drink
the same coffee that you drink
just in case yours spilled.
That would be pathetic.
Morning. Miss Tate`s office.
Hey, Bob.
Actually, we`re headed
to your office right now. Yeah.
Why are we headed to Bob`s office?
Have you finished
the manuscript I gave you?
I read a few pages.
I wasn`t that impressed.
- Can I say something?
- No.
I`ve read thousands of manuscripts,
this is the only one l`ve given you.
There`s an incredible novel in there.
The kind of novel you used to publish.
Wrong. And I do think you
order the same coffee as I do
just in case you spill,
which is, in fact, pathetic.
- Or impressive.
- l`d be impressed
if you didn`t spill in the first place.
Remember, you`re a prop.
Won`t say a word.
Our fearless leader and her liege.
Please, do come in.
Beautiful breakfront. Is it new?
It is English Regency Egyptian
Revival, built in the 1 800s
but, yes, it is new to my office.
Witty. Bob, l`m letting you go.
Pardon?
I asked you a dozen times to get
Frank to do Oprah, and you didn`t do it.
You`re fired.
I have told you that is impossible.
Frank hasn`t done
an interview in 20 years.
That is interesting, because I just got
off the phone with him, and he is in.
- Excuse me?
- You didn`t even call him, did you?
- But...
- I know, I know.
Frank can be a little scary
to deal with. For you.
Now, I will give you two months
to find another job.
And then you can tell
everyone you resigned, OK?
- What`s his twenty?
- He`s moving. He has crazy eyes.
Don`t do it, Bob. Don`t do it.
You poisonous bitch!
You can`t fire me!
You don`t think I see
what you`re doing here?
Sandbagging me on this Oprah thing
