What Women Want Page #4

Synopsis: Nick, a somewhat chauvinistic advertising exec hot shot, has his life turned haywire when a fluke accident enables him to hear what women think. At first all he wants to do is rid himself of this curse, until a wacky psychologist shows him that this could be used to his advantage! His first target is Darcy McGuire, the very woman that got the promotion he wanted. But just as his plan is beginning to work, love gets in the way...

We're not moving

to the 44th floor ?

Not today.

- Oh.

- Okay, Gigi, one more.

Gigi, your ex is here.

Honey, you look like...

$48 million.

Thank you.

- May I kiss the bride ?

- Sure.

- Nick.

- Nick ! Ted.

Congratulations, Ted.

You're a lucky man.

Well, thanks.

I happen to agree.

So, you're going on a cruise.

Two weeks, huh ?

Well, actually, the cruise

is just the last week.

Alexandra has an itinerary,

and I faxed one...

to your office yesterday,

to your apartment last week.

Ted's office has one,

as does the school.

-In case I've fallen off the planet?

-You never know.

[ Chuckles ]

Hey, here she is. Pretty in pink.

So, two whole weeks together?

- Yeah, how you gonna handle it ?

- l'm gonna love it.

You can take care of your old man.

Cook for me. Get my slippers.

- Yeah, that'll be happening.

- Alexandra has a boyfriend now.

- Mom !

- So he won't be surprised.

You have a boyfriend ?

You're only 13 years old.

Am I ?

I thought I was 15.

[ Chuckles ]

We're gonna be fiine.

Look, I wanna meet Cameron.

- Okay if I meet Dad at his place ?

- Is it all right ?

- Yeah, well, I -

- What time ?

- 7:
30.

- Okay.

- Bye, Mom.

I'm gonna miss you too.

Yeah, 7:
30's fine.

Thanks for asking.

And the name's Dad.

- Here you go.

- Thanks.

-Hey, I heard. I can't believe this.

-My next headache.

Don't worry.

We'll get through it.

Yeah.

[ Laughing ] Everyone, everyone,

meet Darcy McGuire.

- Oh, jeez.

- [ Applause ]

- My goodness. Everybody showed up.

- Darcy, how are you ?

- Nice to see you. Hi !

- Pleasant surprise.

- God, what a small world.

- Welcome aboard.

I'm so glad to meet you.

Hello. I'm Darcy.

Hi. I'm Nick Marshall.

Oh, I've heard

a lot about you, Nick.

-I've heard a lot about you too.

-Don't worry, can't all be true.

[ Chuckling ]

Let's hope not.

Hey.

Hey, standing room only.

It's a first.

I'm very, very excited for you all

to meet Darcy McGuire.

-[Applause]

-Darcy's extraordinary reputation...

as a leader in the field

precedes her.

At B.B.D. & O., Darcy led

a creative team...

that snagged $500 million

in new business wins.

And that was

just last year alone.

At Sloane-Curtis, we've prided

ourselves on our strategic thinking.

Now it's time for us to step up

and prove ourselves creatively...

in the marketplace.

And l'm thrilled that Darcy

has consented to move across town,

join our team and lead us

into the 21st century.

- [ Chuckles ]

- [Applause]

Thank you, Dan.

And thank you all

for that warm welcome.

Let me start off by saying

the feeling is mutual.
