SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER
[ Phone rings ] Hello?
>> Simon: Why aren't you here?
>> Carly: Because I'm here.
>> Simon: Do you have any idea how much work we've got? We should have started an hour ago.
>> Carly: I'll be right there.
>> Simon: What's wrong?
>> Carly: What do you mean, what's wrong?
>> Simon: Well, when I talk to you like that, you don't talk to me like this. So what's up?
>> Carly: Oh, nothing. Nothing at all. It's a real red letter day.
Scene 2:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Lakeview Terrace Hotel Lounge
SIMON FRASIER, HENRY COLEMAN
>> Simon: I look like that when I talk to creditors --
>> Henry: Simon!
>> Simon: Henry. How are you, buddy? Good to see you, man. How you doing?
>> Henry: I'm great.
>> Simon: You know, that was a really stupid thing to say. I'm sorry. I heard.
>> Henry: No, it's okay. It's all right. It's been interesting to say the least. People say what's new -- and then you watch them try to stuff the words back in their mouths. So don't worry.
>> Simon: You know what? You and I, we should get together -- take your mind off things, throw a few back and lie about old times.
>> Henry: Yeah, I'd like that.
>> Simon: All right, I've got a business meeting, but I'll give you a call, and we'll catch up.
>> Henry: Thanks.
>> Simon: So good to see you. And once again, I'm sorry.
>> Henry: Don't worry about it. Obsessed call from Emily -- what the hell?
Scene 3:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Lakeview Terrace Hotel Lounge
SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER
>> Carly: All right, I'm here. So let's have another one of our high-powered, titans of industy business meetings, okay?
>> Simon: Oh, you're in a foul mood.
>> Carly: Yes, I am as a matter of fact. And I'm looking forward to taking it out on you.
>> Simon: Okay, fine. First of all, we've got to pare back on the fabric allotment and --
>> Carly: And what?
>> Simon: You know what, it really is amazing. Incredible. No matter how much you snarl and sneer and scrunch up your little face -- you really are quite beautiful.
Scene 4:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Lakeview Terrace Hotel Lounge
SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER
>> Carly: I might be able to get some cheaper fabric, but if you cut back on the yardage, the drapes are gonna look really tacky.
>> Simon: Cut back on the yardage?
>> Carly: Or maybe I ought to just rethink the whole design, then.
>> Simon: You pretend like I don't say anything at all.
>> Carly: You said cut the budget. I'm trying to cut the budget.
>> Simon: No, about you being beautiful and in a foul mood.
>> Carly: Oh. Well, Simon, if I reacted every time some man told me how beautiful I am, I'd never get anything done, now would I? Now if the drapes aren't full --
>> Simon: Wow, wit, beauty and design sense -- you really are a most alluring package.
>> Carly: Would you just can it? We made a deal. We were gonna put our personal lives on hold until we finish this project.
>> Simon: Fine. Can I resume compliments once the project's over?
>> Carly: Yeah, Simon. You can write me a damn sonnet, for all I care. Right now, what I want to know is why the design budget is being cut when it's the construction budget that's so over.
>> Simon: Because Carly, it's way more fun to fight with you.
>> Carly: Oh, no --
>> Simon: What? Oh, okay I'm sorry. I promise I won't say anymore of those things again.
>> Carly: No, it's not that. It's -- I don't have the paint charts. I can't finish the stupid model without the stupid paint charts, so now I'm gonna have to go and get them. Let's just hope there's just as much traffic as there was on the way over here, because I really wouldn't want anything to go right, would I?
Scene 5:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Lakeview Terrace Hotel Lounge
SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER
>> Carly: Simon, I told you I have to go get the paint charts.
>> Simon: All right, boss employer. I want you to stay here and relax. I will go get the paint charts.
>> Carly: No. No you don't have to do that. It's my fault, I left them --
>> Simon: No. Zip it. I'll do it. That's an order.
