No matter what our size.
Within each one of us there
Finding that beauty,
however, isn't easy.
See, Cinderella had to first recognize
that her problem wasn't her evil stepmother.
Her problem was that it was easier
to hide out, cleaning the house.
...than it was to go out
and find happiness.
...to empower her with the kind
of self confidence it takes.
...to reject the insecurity brought
on by unrealistic, overachieving...
...airbrushed, anorexic
princess images in the media.
It took some very large
ovaries for Cinderella.
...to make a change to trade in her scrub
brush for a fabulous pair of dancing shoes.
But boy, was it worth it.
I'm gonna be so late.
No! I'm so late! Not today!
You okay?
Yeah. It's Pumpkin, my
You named you car "Pumpkin"?
Yeah, she's a 65 Mustang
restored. You know kind of a...
...pumpkin-into-a-coach...
kind of thing.
I'm at Shine. Do you work here?
It's just parttime. You?
Yeah. Until I get fired
for being late to a meeting!
Thank you!
Joy, I'm late.
The meeting's already started.
Lori's having a stroke.
Oh, my God.
Nice of you to join us this morning.
Lory, my car died and...
So, Nancy, tell me. Can they sue us?
People can sue for anything.
It's my job to stop them.
But let's be careful. The names we throw around
when we write an article about "celebrity cougars".
She should be flattered.
Okay, people, other ideas.
Fourty is the new twenty.
Foisty foreplay tips.
Nola. We were talking
about ideas for November.
Yeah.
Come up with something that ties Belinda
Apple's book and her November column?
What book?
For those among you who couldn't bother to get
here on time, Nola Devlin, I'll repeat myself.
Stan's and Publishing which
owns Shine and therefore me...
wants to publish a book
on Belinda Apple's columns.
"Apple gets to the core" sort
of... A best-of self help book.
Belinda never mentioned a book to me.
You edit her column.
You're not her best friend.
I will be writing the
foreword to the book.
You?
You have a problem with that?
No. I just thought since
I edit her column I...
And this matters to me because...
Precisely.
I'll need the next column myself.
And for God sakes, clean yourself up.
writing that intro. You know.
anyone and you're an amazing writer.
Thanks.
It's okay. It's really
exciting about the book.
Yeah, for Belinda.
Devlin!
Lunch? Saturday? You, me and Deb?
I need everything you
have on Belinda Apple.
Her life growing up in England,
education, childhood photos...
...articles she wrote for
"Go Fab" magazine before.
Well, I don't have any of that.
Idea. Wait! Call her!
Right. Or I could do a sort of rough
draft of the foreword for you and then...
I'm sure your knickers are in a
knot about this but look at you.
No offense but you're
sugar-encrusted nobody.
wants you to write the foreword
to a book by its biggest star?
No.
No. "No" is right.
Then get me what I need.
Go!
Sorry to hear about your car.
That's okay.
But uh, Chip, the new computer
guy is working today and he lives.
...near you so he could give
you a ride home if you want.
Chip, like "computer chip"?
Anyway, shall I get him to meet
you in the parking lot at six?
Sure. Yes. Thank you.
That would be great.
- Okay
- Okay.
Oh, yeah. It's all limo
rides for you, isn't it?
Me, I get to take a ride
home with the geek squad.
