Picture Perfect Page #3

Synopsis: Kate is working on a career at Mercer Advertising but is passed up for promotion because she's 'not stable enough', still being single and having no ties to the company. A story is made up about her being engaged to Nick, a guy whom she just met at a friend's wedding, and all seems to work out well for Kate. She even gets the attention of a colleague she had always wanted, but events soon take a dramatic turn, forcing her to 'present' her alleged fiance to her boss.

what I'm telling you

A- keep away

from a Runaround Sue

Yeah, I miss her lips

and the smile on her face

The touch of her hair

and this girl's warm embrace

So if you don't wanna cry

like I do

A- keep away

from a Runaround Sue

Whoa...

Susan's

single friend Kate?

Excuse me?

I'm sorry. I'm Nick.

I'm looking for Susan's

single friend Kate.

They told me they thought she

came out here.

Yeah. That's me.

Can I help you?

Don't you think that's,

uh, kind of strange

that she only has

one friend?

Ahem. Okay. Uh...

basically what I'm doing

is, uh, putting together a video

testimonial for Susan and Sajit.

Just, you know,

all their friends

wishing them the best

of everything,

eternal bliss, truckloads of happiness,

et cetera, et cetera.

Do you do this

for a living?

Videotape weddings?

Yeah.

Bar mitzvahs, too.

But, uh, in this case

it's kind of strange

because I'm also

Sajit's best friend,

so I'm sort of

a working guest.

You know,

pulling double duty.

Mm-hmm.

All right. You're on.

Oh. Wow. That was fast.

Um, okay.

Hi, Susan. Hi, Sajit.

Uh, congratulations.

Just have a great time.

Call me when you get back, and, um...

Oh, and if you see

a really big gift,

really expensive gift

with no card,

it's mine.

My gift to you.

Okay. Um, that's all.

So have a wonderful time,

and I'll see you when you get back.

Bye.

Okay. Can... Can you

cut it now?

Cut it.

What?

Cut it.

Oh. I'm sorry.

You've done

this before, huh?

Oh, yeah.

Whoo!

Well, so, uh, I gotta

get back inside.

The bunny hop's coming up,

and I have to shoot that.

Okay.

It's contractual.

All right.

Kate? Nick.

Good to meet you,

Nick.

You bunny hop?

No.

All right.

I'll see you later.

You're horny, huh?

Yeah, I hear you.

Yeah!

Yes!

Okay!

All you single women...

come on out here

and try to catch the bouquet!

You going

to go out there?

Uh-uh. I've been

married once. No, thanks.

Okay.

Get out there. Come on.

Yes, yes, yes. It'll be fun. Go.

Ahem.

Okay. Just give me

the damn thing.

Oh, no, no.

Captain And Tennille:

Love will keep us together

Think of me, babe, whenever

Some sweet-talking girl

comes along

Singing a song

Don't mess around,

you just gotta be strong

Just stop

'Cause I really love you

Stop

I've been thinking of you

Look in my heart and let love

keep us together

He's cute.

So here's the deal.

Mercer?

Yeah, he likes you,

but he's got a real point of view

about your career path.

So just, you know,

let him get that out of the way,

and then-

All right. Just relax.

Trust me.

I'm a little nervous.

Hi.

- Hi.

- Hi, Mr. Mercer.

Thanks for taking

time to speak with me.

Not a problem.
