However, when I decided

to take over this company,

I considered you a prime asset.

Thank you very much.

We need strong department heads

to oversee this merger.

- Beet juice?

- No, thank you.

It keeps the skin tight,

and none of us are getting any younger.

Well, some women have a girlish

quality that lasts a lifetime.

I've always heard you were

very beguiling to women.

But my schedule is also very tight.

Meet me at my house tonight.

Todd, see to it that

he's at Lavender Hill.

- Good evening, Mr Graham.

- Good evening.

Lady Eloise has been

eagerly anticipating you.

Marcus Graham, Lady Eloise.

Marcus, darling.

Welcome to Lavender Hill.

Lady Eloise, I cannot begin to tell you

how happy I am to be working with you.

I grew up using your products - my

mother used your products, you know.

You were in my medicine

cabinet all my life,

and now I'm, like, working with you,

and it's just very exciting.

I find it very exciting as well.

I'm lookin' forward to a long,

strong, productive relationship.

You know, I don't wanna

blow my own horn...

but I'm really qualified.

You shouldn't have to

blow your own horn.

You should leave that

for someone else to do.

Marcus, darling.

Wouldn't you like to

get a little bit more...

comfortable?

Yeah, sure, why not?

Wouldn't you like to

get out of that tight shirt?

Yeah, I was just

thinking about doin' it myself.

You know, it's a little bright in here.

Wouldn't you like to dim it, make it

a little more romantic, you know?

Could you get it just a little darker?

Excuse me. I'm sorry to bother you,

but I just had to say somethin' to you.

You're breathtaking. You're the most

gorgeous woman I've ever laid eyes on.

I had to come over and meet you.

- I'm sorry.

- Why are you laughing?

I'm sorry, it's just that

what you said was pretty pathetic.

- That was not pathetic.

- Come on.

I mean, if I walked up to you and I said

"Excuse me, sir, I'm sorry to bother

you, but, well, I just had to meet you

because you are the most handsome,

the most virile man I have ever seen

in all of my entire life,"

now, would you believe me?

Honestly? Yeah, I would,

but that's just the way I am.

- I'm going to work.

- OK.

- OK.

- Well, I'm goin' this way, too.

It's not like I'm followin' you.

I'm goin' upstairs too.

I'm goin' to the 18th floor, too.

You're auditioning for one of

the commercials. Are you a model?

No. No, I'm not a model.

I'm gonna go work for the company.

- Really?

- Marketing, yeah.

Really? That's my department.

I'm Marcus Graham.

You're Marcus Graham?

You're Marcus Graham?

This is pretty funny

that we're meeting like this.

- I'm sorry, I'm Jacqueline Broyer.
