Synopsis: Marcus is a successful advertising executive who woos and beds women almost at will. After a company merger, he finds that his new boss, the ravishing Jacqueline, is treating him in exactly the same way. Completely traumatized by this, his work goes badly downhill. But then, Jacqueline's more quietly attractive assistant, Angela, who has been dating Marcus' best friend, shows herself more than a little concerned by his perilous state.

- OK.

- I'm a huge fan of your work.

- Thank you very much.

You're very, very talented.

You was treatin' me like my name was

Stanley. But you're a fan of my work.

I'll let you in on a secret

cos you're a pretty girl.

When this merger goes through, I'm

gonna be in charge of all of marketing.

You are?

Marcus, I'm afraid that there's been

some kind of misunderstanding.

I'm sorry. You see,

I'm in charge of marketing.

No, that's impossible.

Sorry.

I'm the logical choice. I'm vice

President of Marketing for Chantress.

Good morning. Thank you.

I know, but I'm director of marketing for

Lady Eloise, and we are acquiring you.

But I had a very good indication

from someone that the job was mine.

- Really? From whom?

- From Lady Eloise. Lady Eloise.

- Really?

- Yes.

Marcus, Lady Eloise

doesn't make any decisions.

She's the name on the package.

- No, it's her company. The Lady Eloise.

- She hasn't run it for 15 years.

All of the decisions are made

by the board of directors in Paris.

But it's Lady Eloise.

She has no power.

She's a very sweet woman.

She's a little detached from reality.

You should see the way she just...

she throws herself

at young, handsome, virile men.

Are you tryin' to imply that I hit it?

No, I see...

- Marcus, darling.

- How you doin', Lady Eloise?

I don't have any panties on.

Lady Eloise, please, we have a meeting.

Can we just please go?

I'm sorry.

It's warm in here.

Just cos somebody takes off their

drawers, don't mean I did somethin'.

- So, yo, man, you gonna quit, right?

- Of course he's gonna quit, man.

That's right. Say

"Look, girl, I'm outta there".

That's what I'm thinkin' about doin'.

I'm thinkin' about steppin'...

There she is, right there.

- That's her?

- Yeah.

Psych. Yo, you can't quit, man.

You gotta stay.

- Yeah, she's bad.

- Hello, Marcus.

- Hello, Jacqueline.

- You look great.

- And so do you.

- Thank you.

This is my man Tyler,

and this is Gerard. Jacqueline.

This is Angela Lewis. She works in

our art department. She's very talented.

I think the two of you should

probably be working together.

- Excuse me, Jacqueline. It's that time.

- Thank you, Todd. Nice meeting you.

Marcus, would you join me

for a second? Thanks.

Come on, girl. Get on.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have

a very exciting announcement to make.

Since 1948, the name Lady Eloise has

been synonymous with glamour, grace,

sensuality, and stunning natural beauty.

In the next century,

that tradition continues.

Introducing the new face

of Lady Eloise cosmetics: Strang.

Yes.

- Hey.

- Hi.

- How are you?

- Good. You look lost. Can I help you?

I'm just looking for Jacqueline,
