And that makes you perfectly safe?

Well, yes.

You better clean yourself up

if you're gonna face the crowd.

Here, wipe your face. It's all sweaty.

Thank you.

There you are, dear.

All ready for company.

Thank you.

How did it go?

Come on, speak.

We've been going nuts.

Well...

...first, let me say congratulations...

...on being the new editor in chief.

I- What? Alden said that?

What did he say?

I mean-

It happened this evening,

just before the party. He called me.

Told me

he wanted me to take the job.

I said, Will Randall's editor in chief.

I mean,

I didn't even know if he was serious.

Look, Will, I didn't ask for this.

I mean, it just landed in my lap.

Say the word, I'll turn it down.

What do you think I should do?

That's up to you, Stewart.

No, Will, it's up to you.

I'll do whatever you say.

I'm afraid you're asking the one person

in the world who can't advise you.

Sh*t. Now I'm sorry you said that.

That son of a b*tch.

Prick.

I had no idea

he was offered your job.

Why would you?

It must have been hard

to turn down Alden's offer...

...but he could have told you.

Yes.

Why didn't you say something

to him?

Why did you let him walk away

with your blessing, guilt-free?

Charlotte, please.

I can't...

I can't talk now.

May I just say one more thing about it?

The last thing?

No.

Will, come on, it's 7:30.

Give me till 8.

Will?

It's 7:
40.

I asked you to give me till 8.

It's 7:
40 at night, you dope.

You've been sleeping all day.

Are you all right?

How do you feel?

I feel...

...good.

So I said,

"Why assign me mastectomies...

...and new trends

in estrogen therapy?

Why can't I do the article

on genetic engineering...

...and give Pete mastectomies?"

You know what he said?

"You'll do it so much better.

You're a woman. "

I said, "That's like telling

a black food writer she can only-"

Hey. What are you doing?

I have to catch up.

I haven't eaten, I haven't drunk...

...I haven't made love in a long time.

A very long time.

You think we ought to do it

right here...

...in front of the dome of The Second

Church of Christ, Scientist?

What else can you do

without hands?

You'll see.

What was in that stew?

Thank you.

Morning.

How the f*** can you drink tequila

this early?

How the f*** did you know?

You kidding?

You can smell it a mile away.

- Oh, Mr. Randall, are you all right?

- Perfect.

I heard about Alden's decision.

I'm so sorry.

Yeah. Was Stewart just in here?

Well, not just. About an hour ago.

That's how I found out.

Are you all right?

I'm fine. Never been better.

I just wanna say, I think it sucks.

Thank you, Roy.

Are-?

What'd you do, get contacts?

Well, I'll be damned.
