think that?
The man is a lunatic,
but I've never known him to lie.
He's absolutely right.
Mr. Richards, this store
has never been more successful.
It's all due to Jonathan Switcher.
He can put a rubber glove on his head
and run naked in the store yelling:
"Hi, I'm a squid!"
Hi. 'Morning, Mrs. T.
Hello, Jonathan.
This morning's window
is your most brilliant yet.
Thank you. What happened here?
God only knows.
Felix, did you try and take
Omaha Beach all by yourself, again?
- I was doing what Mr. Richards told me to.
- I never said anything.
Is that right? Richards...
...when you take Felix
to get his last paycheck...
...get your own as well.
Mrs. Timkin,
you may be our grande dame...
...but I've had serious doubts...
...about a woman your age
running this store.
I'll appeal to the board.
I can't imagine
you're appealing to anybody.
Don't mess with this old chick, mister.
Just pack it up.
Jonathan, let's go.
And get that dog out of the tree.
You can't do this!
We'll file a grievance with the union!
You're not in a union, you idiot.
Hi there, Jonathan.
I didn't know you were in there.
Excuse me.
That's lovely.
What the hell are you people doing?
Have you seen the latest figures, children?
89 percent.
Sales are down 89 percent!
Prince and Company
is going through the roof!
All right.
Now, I want this to stop, children.
And if it doesn't, so help me God!
You are all dead meat!
Jonathan, it is my honor to inform you
that starting Monday morning...
...you'll be the youngest vice president
ever at Prince and Company.
- Congratulations.
- Hear, hear!
- I don't know what to say.
- Say, "Thank you."
Thank you!
Long live Prince and Company.
Cheers.
Son of a gun.
So, Richards was telling the truth.
I've been in this business 20 years.
Hell, half the guys in this store
probably wear lace underwear...
...but, this...
We're talking a Sunday drive
into some serious dementia.
It's our move now.
I'd do anything for Illustra...
...but these pictures could
kind of ruin his life.
Roxie, I'd never ruin anyone's life.
I would,
but only if it were absolutely necessary.
Roxie, you're not developing
a conscience on me, are you?
No, I don't think so.
Good.
Anyway, I don't want to ruin his life...
...I just want to hire him.
And...
...now I know how.
Hi, Gord.
- Miss Thomas, hi.
- Please, Jonathan, it's all yours.
- Thanks. Men's room is broken.
- Of course, dear, whatever you say.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
You won't believe what Mrs. Timkin
and the board just told me.
- Vice president.
- Jonathan, that's wonderful!
Tina, Moni,
he's talking to the dummy again.
Nobody deserves it more.
I knew this would happen for you.
Creative freedom, practically my own boss,
maybe some World Series tickets.
All right, I'm sorry. I'm going on and on.
I couldn't do this without you.
I won't take the job
unless we can be together.
Jonathan...
...you can't worry
about what will happen to us.
What does that mean?
Girls, please, let's not be catty.
I simply will not tolerate
eavesdropping unless I'm a part of it.
I assume my Jonathan is in there.
You can't go in. He's got company,
if you know what I mean.
And who do you think introduced them?
At least she'll never say
your hips are too fat.
Hollywood! Jeez, listen.
You know I would never bother you
when you're getting a piece of wood...
...but this is muy importante.
Your Hollywood needs help.
- What's up?
- I need your creative muse.
I've always thought of myself as hot stuff,
the very best at what I do.
But seeing you, let's just say it, I'm dirt.
Mold me. Shape me. I'm a fast learner.
Please, Jonathan,
do not let them turn me out...
...into that dark night alone.
We can talk about designs and stuff...
...but when I work, I gotta work alone.
Of course. I understand perfectly.
You're an artiste,
and that's the way you work.
I can respect that.
Jesus. Hollywood, listen, don't worry.
