- Hi. One scratcher, please.

- Oh!

- What kind?

- You wanna pick?

- This is not a fair test.

I happen to be good at these.

- The green one.

It's a lottery.

Nobody's good at them.

- Dollar.

- Thank you.

- Guys-

- Come on!

I mean, seriously, this is silly.

- Do it. Do it. Do it.

- Fine. No peeking.

- Why?

- It's my scratcher now.

What'd you get? What'd you get?

What'd you get?

Five, 10, 15.

I told you I was good at these.

You are the luckiest

person in the world.

How do you do it, Ash?

How do you do it?

I told you. You just

scratch the silver boxes.

Scratch? You just scratch?

I could kill you!

Hey, watch it. I can't afford to be injured.

I've got a major event to plan.

And we have a walk-through downtown

with Peggy in 10 minutes.

Taxi! We have to pick up the presentation

boards. We're never gonna make it.

Negativity.

That's your problem.

- That's true. Bye, sweets!

- Make mama proud!

- Of course. Love you.

- Au revoir!

- How you feeling?

- Nervous.

- She's gonna love it.

- Okay.

- How about right here?

- Yeah.

- This place is amazing!

- Quick. She's ready.

- Hi, Miss Braden.

- Uh!

Sorry. Peggy. So, are you

ready to be impressed?

- I'm ready to have questions.

- Of course. I would hope so.

Okay, so we're going

for a carnival-like atmosphere.

We'll have an upscale mixture

of V.I.P.'s, celebs...

and record industry insiders.

Only, everyone will wear masks.

Interesting.

We'll have a deejay,

circus performers...

fortune-tellers,

atmosphere smoke and neon.

Over here will be the V.I.P. Area.

We'll have champagne-

only the best.

Dom Prignon served

by waiters on stilts.

And then a stage with Masquerade's

latest videos and professional dancers.

And over there, little alcoves...

with couches and with drapes

to give people privacy.

Overhead, sky dancers.

You know, I want people to feel

like anything can happen here.

It's gonna be a magical night.

- The hired dancers?

- Are doing their thing.

- And Phillips?

- Is happy and is going up in five.

Peggy, I've got it covered.

See that you do, my dear.

Oh, thank God.

Thank you so much.

I owe you big time.

So, which one is she?

Oh, she's the tall blonde one,

near the fortune-teller.

- Ah, very nice.

- Yeah, she's a little high-strung.

No problem.

It is gonna cost you extra.

You're terrible. But a doll.

Now go.

I have work to do.

So do I.

- Got another freeloader.

- What? No, no, no.

If they're not on the list,

they cannot get in. No exceptions.

I'm on the list. "Plus one."
