02:17the
02:37I don't want her holding this weekend over me like she does every other family function.
02:40She's trying, John.
02:43This is her trying.
02:44Just give her some grace.
02:46It's a wedding, for Christ's sake.
02:48She acts as if I'm asking her to attend the Democratic National Convention.
02:52Did you stay at the hotel again?
02:56It's not like she's begging me to come home.
03:21What happened?
03:22I was supposed to leave an hour ago.
03:24It's a summer Friday.
03:25The tunnel was a parking lot.
03:26Hi.
03:27You haven't been on time a day in your life, but when it inconveniences you...
03:30I'm just saying.
03:31We're going to miss the welcome drinks.
03:32My family's going to throw a hissy fit.
03:34Well, they're going to find a reason to throw one no matter what.
03:35So if you want to go there, then by all means...
03:37Okay, we both agreed to give each other the benefit of the doubt.
03:45Where's Jay?
03:46He couldn't make it.
03:48Who's Jay?
03:48The instructor.
03:52Where are his crutches?
03:53He complains about his recovery time, and yet he doesn't bring them...
03:56Pick your battles.
04:13I'm sorry.
04:17I'm just anxious.
04:20I love you.
04:24I appreciate you being here.
04:40I love you, too.
04:43Good.
04:54Let's go.
04:58Let's go.
04:59Let's go.
05:01Let's go.
05:12Let's do it.
05:14Let's go.
08:15I ended up at the tunnel rolling around in the ball pit with Mickey Rook.
08:19Like hooking up?
08:20I don't know.
08:21I don't remember, but the sun was coming up when I left, so now I'm just bracing for impact.
08:25You go home with that guy?
08:27What guy?
08:29The hot tan one you were talking to with the hot tan one you were talking to with the full
08:30arms on the bad jeans.
08:32I thought I saw you guys leave together?
08:34I just went home.
08:35I just went home.
08:35I'm so tired.
08:36You're so fucking cagey sometimes.
08:38Here I am growing my heart out.
08:42What do you want me to tell you?
08:43That you fucked him.
08:45That I'm not alone on my path to self-destruction.
08:48Hold it, please.
08:52By the way, I wore your Egyptian mask last night, and I'm not kidding.
08:55Three different guys, like, inhaled me.
08:56One of them said I smelled like a laundromat, which, like, weird, but I'll take it.
09:11Grace, you could hear you.
09:12I thought the rule about not talking in the elevator was more than this.
09:15Like a sexuality.
09:19There's cameras everywhere.
09:20Give me a raise, motherfucker.
09:39Please tell me you didn't leave him a voicemail.
09:41I didn't.
09:42I left too.
09:45Grace.
09:46Why would he bother pursuing you if he knows he doesn't have to?
09:49I've tried playing hard to get, and apparently I play it too well.
09:53Come here.
09:55Come here.
09:59Look at me.
10:02You're beautiful.
10:04Okay?
10:05Hey.
10:10Exploiters and securities.
10:12I read that somewhere.
10:13Until when?
10:14Until you're bored of him, or he's too old to leave you.
10:17Can we save the powwow for after work, please?
10:20We need those looks that we pulled for to me, pressed, bagged, and labeled, and her PR up.
10:24It's going to be here in, like, an hour.
10:25Let's go.
10:26Chop, chop.
10:28And don't forget that we have that fitting with Annette at 11.
10:34Prime example.
10:35Tanya tries too hard to be authoritative.
10:37Therefore, I have no respect for her authority.
10:42I feel like a prisoner in this showroom.
10:45As much as I love helping Diane Sawyer accessorize.
10:48Just tell Calvin you want to move to PR.
10:50He loves you.
10:51Oh, yeah.
10:51The company's hemorrhaging money, and he just got out of rehab.
10:54Now's the time to make it all about me.
10:56I haven't even been here a year.
10:57Well, you used to be folding the sweaters at the mall, and now look where you are.
11:01I miss them all.
11:0211.
11:10I miss them.
11:14I miss them.
11:20I miss them.
11:24I miss them.
11:46Yo, this look like a library.
11:48This is censor.
11:54Yo, you get what you needed?
12:05You get what you needed?
12:24You get what you needed?
12:26You get what you needed?
12:33You get what you needed?
12:34So what if you flub the bar exam twice, twice as in parentheticals?
12:39America's uncrowned prince is facing 30 with a steady girlfriend, fabulous looks, even
12:44a movie role.
12:45But now it's time to hit those law books.
12:50If it makes you feel any better, anyone who knows you knows that you don't have a steady
12:53girlfriend.
12:55Fuck off.
12:56I can't show my face around the city with these headlines everywhere.
12:58I have to show your dick to everyone at the gym.
13:00Apparently this is all I'm good for.
13:02Well, as your cousin, obviously I disagree.
13:05Also, I'm an actual prince with a title and everything.
13:08What is this obsession with anointing you?
13:12You know, the funny thing is, when I first saw the headline, The Hunt Flunks, I thought
13:15to myself, wow, this is bad.
13:17But it couldn't possibly get any worse.
13:20You'll take it again.
13:23The DA's office has a three strike policy for their assistance.
13:26If I fail again, I'm out of a job.
13:29Well, then I guess you better not fail.
13:41I mean, it's beautiful.
13:44Well, we can also try it with a shawl.
13:46We can do different styling options.
13:48Is it the fit you're bumping up against or the dress itself?
13:53Both.
13:54Neither.
13:54Neither.
13:55I'm sorry.
13:55I'm really not very good at this kind of thing.
13:57Um, what do you think?
14:01Oh, I think we can find you something better.
14:05Really?
14:06Yes.
14:07You know right away if a dress works, the confidence should wash over you.
14:10Well, Calvin specifically had this dress in mind for Carolyn.
14:12So why don't we try it with the shawl?
14:14We can go from there.
14:16I'm so sorry.
14:18I was stuck on the phone with David Geffen.
14:20How are you?
14:21Hi.
14:24Let's have a look.
14:27How do you feel?
14:29Well, I mean, it's, um, it's beautiful.
14:31Uh, but Carolyn was just saying we could try some other options.
14:36Yes, the collection's so wide-ranging.
14:38I just...
14:40I just figured we could pull some alts.
14:46Never mind that this is for the, um, Bugsy premiere, right?
14:50Yeah.
14:59I mean, this is something a little more charming.
15:05You know?
15:07It's a sexier option.
15:12I had an idea.
15:13Why don't we let Calvin decide?
15:16Well, does she not work here too?
15:19No, I...
15:23One second.
15:28Calvin designed this suit as part of the menswear collection and I'm...
15:32obsessed with it.
15:33The detailing is just...
15:35Tonya?
15:37Here.
15:41Okay.
15:44Okay, so obviously we'd have to take it in a bit.
15:46But I think it's a bold choice.
15:48And a fun nod to the film noir gangster genre.
15:53I love it.
15:55Can I please take her home with me?
15:57Okay.
15:58Are you and Warren planning on walking the carpet together?
16:01Because I only ask because I wouldn't want your outfits to clash.
16:03All eyes are gonna be on you.
16:05If he needs a different shade of suit, he'll survive.
16:10I saw his name on the guest list for the Amazon fundraiser.
16:13Are you gonna be there?
16:14Oh, I can't.
16:15I have a stage reading at Circle in the Square.
16:17Well, every major designer is gonna be there.
16:19So if I see Warren Beatty and Armani or Ralph Lauren, you'll be hearing from me.
16:27Did you want to pull some accessories for Annette?
16:30Sure.
16:30No, I was talking to Carolyn.
16:35Always take the weather with you.
16:37Everywhere you go.
16:39Always take the weather with you.
16:42Everywhere you go.
16:49Always take the weather with you.
16:52Everywhere you go.
16:54Always take the weather with you.
16:54Always take the weather.
16:56Take the weather, the weather with you.
17:09You do know those pictures don't help with the nepotism charges.
17:11They said the same shit when your father appointed me U.S. Attorney of the Southern District of New York
17:1530 years ago.
17:16Do you think anybody's questioning my credentials now?
17:19How are you holding up?
17:20Great. Why?
17:21Did something incredibly embarrassing happen recently?
17:24At least they called you hunky.
17:26I'm not sure that qualifies as a silver lining.
17:28Look, you'll take it a third time, you'll pass it.
17:30This will all be ancient history.
17:31I can still recite the editorials about my high school report card.
17:35I can assure you it won't be.
17:36By the way, I'm well aware that this is the least compelling sob story in the world.
17:40You cannot let the people around you narrate your successes and your setbacks.
17:44At a certain point, you have to decide how you want to feel about them.
17:54Her assistant's picking that up at three, so just double-check and make sure it's good to go.
17:57It's ready, I got it.
17:58And did that jacket come back from the tailor yet?
18:00Yeah.
18:01Hey, Tanya.
18:03Um, do you happen to know if there are any extra tickets to that Amazon fundraiser?
18:10Don't confuse his little pat on the back earlier for your status at this company.
18:15You're a saleswoman, Carolyn.
18:17That's it.
18:22Strong candidate for an exorcism.
18:24Whatever, I'm still going.
18:25Really?
18:26What if she sees you?
18:27If she wants to try and sideline me, have at it.
18:34Fellas, the hyenas have set up camps, so don't forget to suck in.
18:41Let's go easy on John, all right?
18:43I can't have America finding out their favorite son is Butterfingers.
18:46Eat my ass, Colin.
18:47I'd love to go where only Madonna's gone before.
18:49Oh!
18:50All right.
18:51Hey, hey, we have an odd number.
18:53How do you know it doesn't have a cubic?
18:55Oh, so both even suck?
18:57Talk some shit out of the gate.
18:58Let's go.
19:00All right, let's go.
19:01Hang on a sec.
19:05Hey, Troy!
19:06I'm going to burn you from the circle.
19:08I'm like white on rice, Johnny.
19:09Prove it.
19:10We're down on that.
19:16Hey, Mercer, we have the fucking balls.
19:17Get out of your ground.
19:28Up the side.
19:29Up the side.
19:31Cut.
19:44Watch out if you feel right here.
20:00Of course not.
20:06Hi, sorry I'm late.
20:10Where are you coming from?
20:11I had a touch football game.
20:12At least make something up.
20:15Hats off at the table please.
20:22Is your salmon cold?
20:23Well you didn't have to wait for me.
20:25We didn't, it's just cold.
20:32Thank you, Eugene.
20:33Of course.
20:34So is everyone planning on attending Teddy Jr.'s wedding this weekend?
20:37I have to work, unfortunately.
20:39I'll be there.
20:40Really?
20:41Can you imagine if I said no?
20:43Uncle Teddy would probably dispatch the Navy SEALs.
20:45Well, you two can be each other's date.
20:49How do you know I'm not bringing someone already?
20:51Well, the wedding's in four days.
20:52You cannot just spring your flavor of the month on them last minute.
20:56He's trying to get a rise out of you.
20:58Please don't take the bait.
20:59Maybe I should just become celibate and join the priesthood.
21:01People Magazine's sexiest priest alive doesn't quite have the same ring to it.
21:07Thank you, Eugene.
21:09I see you're eating meat again.
21:11Well, I never swore off meat, Mother.
21:12I was experimenting with a vegetarian diet because Daryl made a very valid case for it.
21:17Well, either way, it wasn't sustainable.
21:20My relationship or my diet?
21:23You know, maybe if she'd been made to feel a bit more welcome.
21:26Sweetheart.
21:26And despite your impressions, Daryl actually does care what you think of her.
21:29Of course she does.
21:30She's an actress.
21:31She cares what everyone thinks of her.
21:32What decade are you living in?
21:34She's an artist, Mom.
21:35Oh, yes.
21:36I saw that recently she played a 50-foot giant.
21:39Maybe she'll invite you to the Oscars.
21:42Why don't you just save us all a lot of time
21:44and tell me exactly who you'd like me to bring home to?
21:46Because I guarantee inevitably you'll find something wrong with them, too.
21:49There are lots of girls.
21:50Now, like who?
21:51You act as if I'm the only thing standing between you and Happily Ever After.
21:55Yeah, well, she's back in L.A. now, so.
21:58Bed-hopping with rock stars.
22:00Mom.
22:00I love how you pose these questions like you don't obsessively monitor my personal life.
22:04Apple doesn't fall far.
22:05Hey, I read the shit that gets thrown in my face, all right?
22:08Not everyone's awarded the same privacy.
22:10Well, that's one way of looking at it.
22:14Meaning what, Ed?
22:17Would you prefer that I not be invested in my child's personal life?
22:21Well, you never seem to harangue Caroline for her life's choices.
22:23I think all of my psychiatrists would argue otherwise.
22:27Your sister is settled down with children.
22:29Her personal life isn't chronicled in every tabloid in the country like it's an episode of Santa Barbara.
22:35Yeah, this, coming from a woman whose second marriage was condemned by the Pope.
22:45I worked too hard to watch you be sucked into this pervasive narrative of entitlement and recklessness that's plagued every
22:56other member of this family.
22:57Okay.
23:11Good evening.
23:12Dan Raddell reporting.
23:14Former Massachusetts Senator Paul Songers announced his decision today.
23:17Again, at a news conference in Boston, Songers said he will not re-enter the race before the Democratic presidential
23:23nomination.
23:25One thing everybody's talking about this much here is the lack of affordable healthcare.
23:30CBS News health correspondent.
23:31CBS News is here to tell us it's a make-a-break issue now for people who don't, they never
23:36have to worry.
23:36But, contrary to what you might think, I don't relish in being a constant source of anxiety for you.
23:43I mean, I'm 31 years old.
23:46You're my son.
23:49You're going to be a constant source of anxiety for me no matter what you do.
23:56I just want you to find your way.
24:18Where are you guys?
24:20Where are you guys?
24:22accused of the weak of losing theèse after having me done with the
24:22I'll be awful.
24:22I'll be a perfect corner of you.
24:25The other way that I'm on this arm...
24:57I saw the signs of my undoing, they have been there from the start, and the darkness still has work
25:11to do, the knotted cords untying, the heated and the holy, oh they're sitting there on high, so secure.
25:27With every single that I buy, you know what I'll be, like the woman I've been there.
25:36Hi.
25:38Hi.
25:39Did you make it an alright?
25:41I had to give the guy 50 bucks, he had no clue who he worked.
25:44What?
25:45Your face just now?
25:46I'm kidding.
25:46Is this for the Resort collection?
25:50What are the target stripes too much?
25:51Well, it's clear we overshot homage and crash lines in a caricature.
25:54What are you doing back here?
25:57Oh, I forgot the feathered hat at the office that she brought in.
26:06Come have drinks with us.
26:10I had this idea last night, have you been to Nell's?
26:12No, I've been dying to Nell's.
26:14This fun little place downtown is really kind of terrific, and I got in at 1.30 in the morning
26:19from Washington, and Kelly called me.
26:22She said a bunch of us are having a little fun downtown, and why don't you come and join us?
26:25So, I went and met up with them, and we were up most of the night, and so on occasion,
26:31after 40, you could still have fun.
26:38Are you going to thank me for this?
26:49Sorry to interrupt, John.
26:55This is Carolyn Bissette.
26:57She's our VIP whisperer at the company.
27:00Carolyn, this is John Kennedy.
27:05VIP whisperer, that's quite the moniker.
27:08What does that entail exactly?
27:09No, it's a real high-wire act.
27:11There's a cape involved.
27:12Oh, she's underselling herself, which is ironic, because Carolyn is responsible for millions of dollars in sales.
27:19I don't doubt it.
27:21I like your dress, by the way.
27:23You can't help yourself, can you?
27:25So I'm a bad boy.
27:27I'm so sorry.
27:27What can you do?
27:27I need to steal you for a minute.
27:32Do you want to grab a drink?
27:33Oh, technically I'm working.
27:35Wasn't everyone here?
27:37Wow, quite the shrewd observation coming from the bell of the ball.
27:40The bell of the ball?
27:41I know like five people here.
27:43Well, you wouldn't know that from the way around staring at you.
27:47Oh, I think they're all staring at you.
27:50You just keep that in your back pocket at you.
27:53I'm sure there's lots of people waiting to talk to you.
27:55Oh, exactly.
27:56So you can't abandon me.
28:00Whenever my mom is at a party or out to dinner, she always locks eyes intensely with whoever she's talking
28:04to.
28:05Because she says that even the appearance of a recess in conversation will invite interlopers.
28:12Well, then you better keep appearing to look interested.
28:16Oh, fuck.
28:17What?
28:18Nothing, just my boss giving me the death stare.
28:21Who, Calvin?
28:21No.
28:22Bless her boss.
28:23Uh, I really gotta go.
28:25Oh, please take me with you.
28:26I'm not sure that's such a good look.
28:27Talking out of a charity event or going home with you?
28:31It's nice meeting you, John.
28:33You think I can get your number?
28:34I don't give my number out to strangers.
28:37I just met you.
28:38You could be a serial killer for all I know.
28:40Oh, come on.
28:41That'd be way too much of a commitment.
28:43How about I give you my number?
28:45That way the ball's in your court.
28:47I don't want to get your hopes up.
28:48Please, I'm not about begging.
28:50I have all of my closest friends.
28:53You know where I work.
28:57Try reception.
29:09Is he dreaming and like an off-putting Manchurian candidate kind of way?
29:14Or like a, I can't help, but emanates sex.
29:16It's in my perfect DNA.
29:18Okay, what if he does reach out?
29:20You know, he won't.
29:21He was just bored.
29:23An innately flirtatious.
29:25Sexy doorman just arrived.
29:31Can we please stop calling him that?
29:37Sexy belt.
29:38He's actually an aspiring model.
29:40That's actually so much worse.
29:42That being said, as an agent, I'd happily advance his career if he did advance my orgasm.
29:47Maybe if you unchained him from his futon once in a while and let us hang out with him,
29:52we might start to like Sexy belt.
29:54I'm not ashamed of him.
29:55He's great.
29:55We just don't have that much in common.
29:58Oh, thank you.
30:00You're welcome.
30:02You're welcome.
30:07Woo!
30:09Look what we got!
30:29What the hell was that?
30:31Why, I was just saying bye.
30:33Do you know that I came down here to see you,
30:35and I waited in line for like an hour and now you're leaving?
30:37Well, it would have come and got you if I knew you were out here.
30:41Yeah, that's not really the point.
30:42What?
30:42It looked like you were having a perfectly good time in there.
30:44See, this is where I'm getting a little confused.
30:46When we're in public, you act like I don't exist,
30:48but then when we're alone, you're something about it.
30:51So it's just...
30:51Okay, Michael, this is exactly why I don't want a boyfriend.
30:54Okay, I'm accountable for people all day, every day at work.
30:58And when I leave, I just want to do whatever the fuck I want
31:00whenever the fuck I want to.
31:01And whoever the fuck you want.
31:05Look, I'm not trying to hurt your feelings.
31:06I just...
31:06If you can't keep this like cool and casual,
31:08I think we should just go back to being friends.
31:17You're just going to leave me here right now?
31:19I guess that's kind of up to you.
31:29I guess that's kind of up to you.
31:55If you could just point me at her,
31:55I'd like to leave you at home
31:59I must be why the fish is not enough to leave you at home
32:10Calvin Klein.
32:12Yeah.
32:14Hi.
32:15I'm here to see Carole M. Bessette.
32:18if you could just point me
32:20in her general direction.
32:31Hi.
32:47Hi, what a terrific surprise.
32:50Oh.
33:08Hi.
33:09Hi.
33:11Sorry, is this a bad time?
33:13No.
33:15No, uh.
33:17I was just telling you.
33:24What's up?
33:26I need a new suit.
33:37Put your arms up for me.
33:41You need the tailor, too.
33:43He's on his lunch break.
33:46Typically, our clients make appointments.
33:49I'm a 33 waist.
33:50I know that.
33:53You're a 32.
34:00Chin up.
34:02Jeez.
34:03You tailor this, bossy?
34:18It'll be running in a week.
34:23Is there anything else?
34:25How about some ties?
34:27What?
34:28You're going to deny my business?
34:29What kind of VIP whisperer are you?
34:31A busy one.
34:32You're right.
34:32I'm sorry.
34:34How can I make it up to you?
34:35By swiping your credit card.
34:38Or you could let me take you to dinner.
35:02What?
35:03Oh, my God.
35:05Oh, my God.
35:12What's going on?
35:15J.F.K. Jr. was just here.
35:18What?
35:19No one tells me.
35:21Oh, no, he came to see Carolyn.
35:49Are you sure I can't start you off with anything while you wait?
35:55No, no, thank you, though.
36:16Carolyn!
36:17Carolyn, wait!
36:19Please, Carolyn, wait, don't leave!
36:23Please, don't leave!
36:26Please.
36:30You didn't think maybe call the restaurant?
36:33He's waiting for 20 minutes.
36:34I know, I'm sorry.
36:36Please let me buy you dinner.
36:37I mean, if I'm not worth waiting for, the food is.
36:41Please.
36:55This your go-to date spot?
36:58Yeah.
36:59I'm a sucker for a laminated menu.
37:02That's why you chose that.
37:06The menu.
37:10It's okay, I'm not exactly eager to incur the wrath of every woman in America.
37:14No, it's not just that.
37:16It's a gay man, too.
37:25You went a little rogue with the order, but I was pleasantly surprised.
37:28Well, I went backpacking through India after I graduated, and I learned very quickly that
37:33ordering chicken tikka masala is a surefire way to get made fun of.
37:36You backpacked?
37:38You backpacked?
37:38Yeah.
37:39Huh.
37:40What?
37:41Nothing.
37:42I'm just curious to know what your definition of backpacking is.
37:46Same thing as yours?
37:49What, did you think I was shuttled around on a motorcade?
37:52Kind of, yeah.
37:56Why India?
37:58Well, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life after I graduated, and my mom always
38:03says that India is the most beautiful place she'd ever visited, so I decided to take some
38:07time off, go explore the world.
38:10God, I realize this story, so.
38:12Super relatable.
38:15In your defense, I'm sure most of your dates swoon over that India story.
38:18I wasn't trying to impress you.
38:20No, you made that very clear when you showed up 30 minutes late.
38:24I'm sweating.
38:25Have you noticed?
38:25It's not because of the food.
38:31You know, sometimes I find myself trying so hard to put other people at ease that I...
38:36You have nothing to prove.
38:42What do you think you'd be doing with your life if you weren't who you are?
38:45I probably wouldn't be working at the DA's office.
38:48I don't know if you've seen the news recently.
38:50But I'm not exactly a legal wonderkin.
38:53Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
38:55It's okay.
38:56No, it's not.
38:58Publishing your exam results for other people's entertainment is cheap.
39:02Empathetic.
39:03Yeah, it just kind of feels like I have this sign hung over my head that says,
39:07The Hunk Flunks.
39:08And that's all that people see when they look at me.
39:10Yeah, but everyone feels like they have a sign over their head.
39:13Yeah?
39:13What's yours say?
39:19I'm not going to disclose my sign on a first date.
39:23What would you be doing?
39:24Am I going to be leading the conversation at any point?
39:26I'm not the one being vetted here.
39:30I guess when I think of where it was I was happiest is probably on stage.
39:39Like acting?
39:40Yeah, I did a lot of theater in high school and college and I loved it.
39:44Something about being a character, being up on stage.
39:48I felt like I could do whatever I wanted and no one could judge me.
39:51Why didn't you pursue it?
39:52I did, actually.
39:54Sort of.
39:55I was in a play here after college called The Lovers.
39:59And my mom was so scared that she banned any critics from attending.
40:03So needless to say, we had a very limited run.
40:07Did she like it at least?
40:08She never came.
40:10Not because she didn't want to, just because it would have created this whole circus
40:13and that's exactly what she didn't want to have happen.
40:19How old were you when you realized you were the son of a president?
40:25I don't think anyone's ever asked me that before.
40:30I don't know, really.
40:32To be honest, I think I've been inundated with so many images and stories of my childhood
40:37that I can't really differentiate from what I remember and what I've just been exposed to.
40:44That's sad.
40:50What about your parents?
40:53My mom and stepdad are in Greenwich.
40:57She's a school teacher.
40:59He's a doctor.
41:01I actually introduced them 20 years ago and I was his patient and I love to lord that over them.
41:06What about your dad?
41:08He's in White Plains.
41:11I see you're married.
41:15No.
41:17I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.
41:19No, no, no, no.
41:20It's just, it's not a very interesting story.
41:26How did you find your way to Calvin Klein?
41:32Um, I always wanted to make a difference in the world.
41:35No, I was working in the mall in Boston.
41:38At a Calvin Klein.
41:40Okay.
41:42And one day this exec from corporate came in and I had no idea they were there and there
41:46was this older female customer screaming, crying, melting down in the dressing room
41:50wouldn't come out.
41:51So I just sort of sat down on the floor and talked her down.
41:54Anyways, the exec saw the whole thing.
41:55Said if you can handle that, you can handle anything.
41:59And they brought me out for an interview in New York.
42:03I remember in the waiting room there were all these really polished upper east side girls
42:07and I said to the HR person, look, these girls might have a pedigree, but I don't have
42:12a plan B or a trust fund to fall back on.
42:16Sorry.
42:18Yeah, no offense.
42:21You know, I have to make this work.
42:26And they offered me the job right then and there.
42:31I can see why Calvin sings your praises.
42:48Shit.
42:50Somebody stole my bike.
42:52Well, it was a lot.
42:53No.
43:01Sorry, I don't mean to laugh.
43:02It's just, what did you think this is going to happen?
43:05The stability would prevail.
43:06In New York City?
43:07You live here?
43:08I've got to buy another one.
43:11How many bikes have you lost?
43:13Ballpark?
43:14Do you want a cigarette?
43:15No, thanks.
43:17I've already had my one for the day.
43:20One?
43:21You have one cigarette a day.
43:24Not all the time, but if I do, I try to limit it to one.
43:28It's a discipline thing.
43:33God, just you have discipline when it comes to tobacco.
43:35Just not other people's time.
43:39I said I was sorry.
43:40Yeah.
43:42You said it like you were expecting forgiveness, not asking for it.
43:51This is me.
43:54I thought I had more time.
43:59More time for what?
44:27Let's see if we're going.
44:31I had a nice pattern of it.
44:36So is that it else?
44:38Night, John.
45:07She's unlike anyone I've ever met.
45:10She's totally got my number.
45:11You sleep with her?
45:13No.
45:14No, she barely even let me take her out to dinner.
45:16I had to buy a suit.
45:19I've never seen you have to woo someone before.
45:21This is like watching an animal dance.
45:24All I want to do is call her, but I don't want to come on too strong.
45:29What?
45:31You're in your head.
45:33Ladies and gentlemen, the uncrowned prince is beside himself.
45:38Shut up, Anthony.
45:41Don't you know what's like?
45:42No.
46:03Give you everything you need to live inside a twisted cage.
46:12What are you doing here?
46:17I missed you.
46:18I shouldn't have gone back to California.
46:25You're right.
46:26I am MFM.
46:28Let I be your mother.
46:30I'll do such things to ease your pain.
46:33Free your mind and you won't be ashamed.
46:51You'd think after 40 years of attending these family functions, I'd be unflappable.
46:56But no, I still somehow revert back to that same old 22-year-old doe-eyed debutante.
47:06Have you heard from your brother?
47:08He cannot be late.
47:10Last I heard he was coming, but...
47:12Andrew, do you know if John arranged for a car service?
47:15Yes, ma'am.
47:15He and Miss Hannah scheduled one for this afternoon.
47:18What did you...
47:20Did you know about this?
47:22I'm not your intelligence agent, Mother.
47:23John and I keep our own confidences.
47:25Turn the car around, please, Andrew.
47:26What?
47:27Are you serious?
47:28I'm not going to smile and make small talk with the two of them like this prolonged saga shouldn't have
47:33ended years ago.
47:34So your solution is to boycott?
47:39Consider my hands washed.
48:03How'd it go?
48:09I think Cindy's our best bet.
48:11To me, she's the quintessential supermodel.
48:13I agree.
48:14Girl next door, prom queen.
48:15All rolled into one.
48:24Sorry, I don't mean to interrupt.
48:25No, you're fine.
48:27We were just talking about the new campaign.
48:29What do you think of Cindy Crawford?
48:38Are these the girls you passed on?
48:39Yeah, that's the dumping ground.
48:55What about Kate Moss?
49:00Well, she's cute.
49:01But no one knows who she is.
49:02Exactly.
49:04She's almost unknowable.
49:05She's guarded and elusive.
49:06She's not trying to sell you anything.
49:08Or ham it up for the camera.
49:10She's...
49:11She's just letting you in.
49:13Just enough.
49:14Because she knows better than to give it all away.
49:24Come on, let's bring her in.
49:26And Carolyn, I want you to have what we do.
49:31Okay.
49:32I want the floor.
49:34What are we doing?
49:35We turned the world upside down.
49:38Yeah?
49:38How do we do that?
49:40Yeah.
49:40Do you have a stick?
49:41Yeah.
49:42Yeah?
49:49She wants to marry me.
49:51Sure she does.
49:53You know, you only make things more difficult to me when you pull stunts like that.
49:58Of the long list of issues plaguing your relationship, I'd say my stunts reside somewhere near the very bottom.
50:09I've been thinking about what you asked me the other night.
50:12About who it is I see you with.
50:16I know you think I'm overbearing.
50:19But only one of us knows what it's like to marry into this family.
50:22To have to be perfect in order to offset your partner's imperfections.
50:27Imperfections that you more than anyone bear the brunt of.
50:34You think that if you find someone who's already in the public eye that she'll be better equipped to withstand
50:41the scrutiny.
50:41But there isn't enough exposure in the world to prepare a woman to be your wife.
50:49Plus, anyone who's already made a name for themselves will invariably resent trading it for yours.
50:55No matter how pretty it looks on their letterhead.
51:00She'll be under the illusion that she's entering into a partnership when in reality she'll be orbiting you just like
51:08everybody else.
51:09Routinely made to feel like an obstacle or a stepping stone.
51:15See, you have a gift, John.
51:18One that can't be torred or bequeathed.
51:21One that allows you to alter the composition of any room you walk into.
51:28Now, you don't want someone who's looking to share in that power.
51:33You want someone to help you wield it.
51:38Someone who doesn't feel beholden to you for choosing them.
51:43Someone who loves you in spite of your last name.
51:50Now, I don't know who that person is.
51:56And I know who it isn't.
52:18I'm set adrift on every place of you.
