AMANDA: So everyone's in the conference room and Daniel's about to start his first staff meeting. I'm Amanda, by the way.
BETTY: Betty.
AMANDA: Ok. FYI, Betty, assistants are usually here before their bosses.
BETTY: Oh, I was filling out paperwork in HR.
AMANDA: Yeah, just don't let it happen again. So, where do you come from?
BETTY: Queens.
AMANDA: What job did you have?
BETTY: Oh, actually, apart from internships and part-time jobs to pay for school, this is my first real job.
AMANDA: That's funny. I was told I didn't have enough experience for the position.

PHILLIPE: What's the story here? I know the type of woman you hire.
DANIEL: My father made me.
PHILLIPE: You're kidding me.
DANIEL: What? She appears to be good, capable...
PHILLIPE: Fugly! Listen to me. You are the editor-in-chief of Mode magazine. This business is all image. Is that what you want representing you? Paparazzi taking your picture and she's standing behind?
DANIEL: Oh, I can't fire her, Phillipe.
PHILLIPE: Well. What if she quits?

DANIEL: In order to show the softer side of Fabia cosmetics, we're going to use the concept of mothers and daughters focusing on the small, special moments that are usually taken for granted, the theme being, it's not the big events, but the little moments that matter.
FABIA: I just had a daughter. I do none of those things. But I can understand it. What makes you think it's going to appeal to my customers?
BETTY: Um, if I may, I do have the statistics here. Um, though one might assume that your demographic is very young, in fact, there's been tremendous brand loyalty since you've launched, which means that the people who were teenagers when they began using your cosmetics well, are now, like you, beginning to settle down and have children. Um, fifty-eight percent, to be exact.
FABIA: And you could do this in time?
DANIEL: Of course. Uh, did you want to approve the models and images beforehand?
FABIA: No! Just make sure it's not too sappy.
