Sleeping with the Fishes
Welcome back, and of
course, I'm Freddy Fine.
Okay, ladies, you're
going for the $50,000.
Now you will have 60
seconds on the clock.
Good luck.
Here is your first subject.
Go!
Lemonade, um, ice
cream, sleep-away camp...
Things I told you to avoid.
Things that make you fat.
Picnics, uh, barbecues...
Fattening events. Places
where they have too much food.
No.
Beaches, uh, swimming pools.
Coney Island.
Places where I told you
never to wear a bathing suit.
Places where you eat too much.
What?! Pass!
Uh... um, satin lingerie,
silk underwear...
Things only a slut would wear.
Things you can't fit into.
Cashmere sweater, uh, suede jacket...
Things you can't afford.
Wha... pass.
Oh, just pass.
Ma!
Cake batter, uh, chocolate milk...
Things that are bad for you.
Things you shouldn't eat.
Emotions, Mom, deep-rooted emotions.
Ohh! Too bad.
So sad.
Now what if I would
have said "hot soup".
- Things you stir?
- Oh, yes! Yes!
What do emotions have
to do with stirring?
So sad.
Ah, crap!
Chapter
Emotional Blackmail.
taking a deep breath in
and letting go of any negative thoughts.
- One breath ain't gonna do it.
Good.
Now imagine the emotional noose
around your neck loosening up.
Told you.
Feel the breath of newfound
freedom entering your loins.
Good.
Everybody's got those days
When the sun don't
shine like it should
- Everyone gets the blues...
- Come on!
Come on, Spanx, don't fail me now.
... weather outside isn't good
I'm no exception to the rule
I have my days,
just gotta remember
Things are always
nice in some way
So let's keep it moving
Deep into the night
We got to keep on
feeling real good
Ohh, let's keep it
rolling deep into the night
Make sure the good
times keep on coming
Let's get it right
Better believe that
karma is for real, so...
Hey, sweetheart,
I'd eat you for free.
Piss off!
Wonder Bash Events, how
can we save your day?
Save it for the 'rents,
Pinocchio, it's just me.
Isn't it too early for
you to be stalking me?
Fair enough.
So are you really expecting
a call from a client?
You never know.
You know, you could move back home,
maybe start over, save some money.
Yeah, I'd rather move to Jersey.
Your pride is overwhelming.
Yeah, and your sarcasm is annoying.
I can see the stress of moving home
is just destroying your usual warmth.
I'm coming home for an aunt's
funeral that we barely even know.
I know. Poor Aunt Sharon.
- Sally.
- Sally, right.
What? Oh.
Whoa!
Lex?
- Let me call you back.
- You okay?
No! I gotta go!
Wait, did you get the tickets?
What? Mind your business.
Sorry about your balls.
No worries.
I've had worse things
happen to my balls.
Wait, are we having a party?
Oh, yeah, well, Mrs. Gonzalez
wanted Mr. Muchacho, and
so, see, I had to hire
an authentic Latino to play a Latino
character, you know what I mean?
Um, no, but how L.A. of you.
There could be a
under there and nobody
would know the difference.
Come on, Mo, you know I need the money.
Yeah, well, but see, the thing is...
No, Mo, you cut the crap.
these fucktard costumes...
- Shh! Hey, hey.
- It was under the assumption
I'd be planning all of your events.
Wasn't that the deal?
Huh?
I'm out. I'm out!
Okay, well, have a safe trip home.
Hey, and leave my other
ball on the way out.
Wonder Bash Events,
how can I save your day?
Can I speak to Cara, please?
Oh, this is Cara.
How can I please you today?
Do you have time for your secret lover?
Always. What is your pleasure today?
You, me, and a chimpanzee.
Ohh, sounds dangerous!
So, do I need a whip to tame the chimp?
Nope, just for me.
Oh, well, I'm gonna just
put you on hold for one sec
- so I can get that whip, okay?
- Okay.
- Hey.
- Hola.
Hey, so I'm on the other line
with a potential client...
Really? What kind of shindig
are you trying to book?
One that requires a lot
- Can you hold, please?
- Holding.
You still there, bad boy?
I never left. Did you get the whip?
In hand.
Oh, yeah! Now we're talkin'.
Ohh! Oh, you know what?
Can I just put you on
hold for one more minute
so I can get my panties off?
Okay.
Hey, so this is gonna be
a lot longer than expected.
Could I just call you back?
You have a difficult client?
Oh, I hate those.
No, look, just... I'm
calling to remind you
to pack your skinny jeans.
Crap! Skinny jeans, skinny jeans,
skinny jeans.
Yeah, I figured it's gonna help
keep Mom off your back about Daniel
if you show up looking malnourished.
Uh-huh, noted.
Thanks for the... reminder.
Um, okay, so I gotta go.
Bye. See you. Bye.
Hey there, bad boy,
mission accomplished.
Panties off, whip in hand.
Now tell me...
what would you like me
to do to your chimpanzee?
Lex? Chimpan...
Lexie, did you just say chimpanzee?
Ohh!
Ohh!
Monkey junk!
Oh, no!
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no. Ohh.
Oh, my goodness, pick up,
pick up, pick up, pick up,
pick up, pick up, pick up.
Damn! Hey, it's me.
I'm totally gonna miss my flight.
I am so sorry. Can you just
tell Mom that something happened?
I don't know, say something,
like, spice it up or something.
Tell her that there was an
earthquake or something like that.
It's like home to me
On a crazy spree
I can't let you be...
