Jane by Design (2011) s01e05 Episode Script

The Lookbook

That's me, Jane Quimby.
My life is a little complicated right now.
I landed my fashion dream job working for her, Gray Chandler Murray.
The only problem? They think I'm an adult.
Now I'm juggling two secret lifes.
One in highschool and one in fashion.
JANPreviously on Jane by Design So, about what I wanted to tell you.
JANE: Incoming.
Okay, Janey, here's the deal Hi.
What do you want, Lulu? Just this.
I can explain.
I just want you to leave me alone.
I can't do this without you, Janey.
I'm sure you'll be fine.
Besides, you have a seat at the popular table now.
What are you doing here? Just eating.
Jeremy Jones.
Nick.
Nice to meet you.
Nick, our table's ready.
I can't do this without you, either.
You don't have to.
I'd go beyond our fighting borders if you needed that from me And I'd march with decorated soldiers to get your pretty eyes to see.
JANE: In fashion, it's easy to take even the smallest wrong turn and find yourself totally lost.
I'd kiss your belly, and your shoulders Cover blankets on our feet.
And fashion's got nothing on high school.
Nice belt.
So keep your eyes set on the horizon On the line where blue meets blue And I'll bet that silver lining Well, I know it'll find you soon But, no matter how lost you are the trick is to keep searching.
Because you never know what you'll find.
I've my heart where my head should be Light up the rest of me 'Cause your dreams, they won't fall apart Through the stops, the starts And life is a work of art.
Got it! Found the Choo! I do believe we have a match.
You are a goddess.
Not that much of a goddess.
My work here is done.
Thank you, Jane.
Any time.
Oh, and Jane Yeah, I'm not really loving the belt.
So, about Gray Has she said anything to you? Said anything about what? Oh, you know, I've justy nothing.
You know, just Probably just rumors.
About me? About Gray.
And her job.
What about her job? Just that she by this time next week.
(SCOFFS) Come on.
That's crazy.
Not Gray.
Gray's tough and talented, and And sometimes, it's about more than that.
What is it about? You know, politics.
But we work in fashion.
(SIGHS) You're right.
? It's nothing.
It's just like I said, ridiculous rumors.
Aren't you gonna be late for your call? Oh! Right.
(RINGING) Hello, Gray.
How's Istanbul? I'm not in Istanbul.
Yes, you are.
I am not in Istanbul, Jane.
I'm in Paris.
Wait? What? Paris? Jane.
I could've sworn you were in Istanbul because I booked and I justself Jane.
Yes? I need you to stop talking and listen carefully.
No one, and I mean no one is to know where I am.
Do you understand? Have you heard of the Lookbook, Jane? Yes, of course, it's all that a fashion company is or wants to be.
It's ideas.
It's inspiration.
It's sketches for upcoming collections.
It's everything.
It needs to be in my hands in exactly two days.
I've booked you on the 10:15 to Paris tomorrow night.
The 10:15 What? It's a plane, Jane.
Right.
No.
I know.
It's just Me? To Paris? You've got to be You'll arrive just after noon.
I need that Lookbook in my hands by 2:00.
And not a second later.
Wow.
I'm not sure if I can, you know, pull that off.
It's just that If you're not here with that book, then don't bother coming in to work on Monday.
Understand? I think that was fairly straightforward, yes.
Now, take the Lookbook from the man.
And do not let it out of your hands until you place it in mine.
Not for a second.
No one outside or inside the company can see it.
Not a soul.
Gray, is everything Is everything what? Well, it's just People have been talking Bring me the book, Jane.
See you in Paris.
I guess I'm going to Paris.
Take my hand, baby, let's get lost We'll run around the world and we'll never stop No, oh, oh Come on, let's go (GASPS) What the You must be Tommy's brother.
Um, yeah.
That's me.
Who are you? There you are.
Dude.
Come on.
What? It's 7:00 in the morning.
So? So, you're standing over my bed making out with Xandra.
With an X.
Hi.
Nice to meet you, Xandra with an X.
Baby, would you mind giving us a minute? Hmm, okay.
What do you think? Pretty hot, right? Yep.
She's a keeper.
Yes.
She is.
And I like Xandra, Bill-bo.
And Xandra likes nice things.
Which is why I've hooked us up with a new score.
Tommy You can't pass this up.
I'm talking Grade-A pharmaceuticals here, fresh off the dock.
We can quadruple our money.
What money? In a week flat.
And I'll tell you what.
We'll go 50-50 on this one.
I just need 500 bucks.
There it is.
Come on.
I know you have at least that much saved up from caddying all summer.
So? So, I can make us some real money here.
I don't think so.
And that's my final offer.
No.
Is that a yes? Did you know this stuff has 28 grams of sugar per serving? I did not know that.
It's really good.
That's great.
Um, what are you doing tonight? Nothing.
Why? I just It's nothing.
Actually, I was thinking about sleeping over at a friend's tonight.
Sounds good.
Yeah, it should be fun.
You know, just a little fun.
Not too much fun.
Very, very little.
Okay, well, I should go.
Wait a second! We are out of milk.
Can you pick some up on the way home? Not a problem.
Have a good day.
You, too! Oh, and Jane.
Whose house are you sleeping at? I'm sleeping at, um The house of My new, suddenly, super good friend.
Lulu.
Lulu? Yep.
Lulu.
We're trying to get along.
For Billy's sake.
So we're, you know, forging this friendship-ish type thing? Cool.
Cool.
(SCHOOL BELL RINGING) Hey.
Hi.
Good morning.
What was that? What was what? That look.
That was nothing.
Billy.
That was definitely something.
Are you Are you embarrassed of me? No, no, no.
You're being crazy, Lulu.
No.
I'm being observant.
Okay.
I just need a little time to adjust here.
This thing between us is Is what? Relax.
All I meant was, it's new.
Okay.
You know what? Who cares what anybody thinks.
I'm gonna take this from the top, gonna start over.
I need a redo, all right? (EXHALES) Action.
Hey.
Hi.
Good morning.
Now that was much better.
And this? You and me? What exactly are we now, Lulu? Well.
We're not a secret any more.
And you're sure you're okay with that? I'm more than okay with it.
You're my boyfriend now.
And I'm You're my girlfriend.
Yes.
Yes, I am.
Hi.
Hi.
Do I look different to you? Uh, haircut? No.
You waxed your eyebrows? No.
New outfit? Yes.
But, that's not it.
You really want me to keep guessing? It's this.
Do you see this look on my face? I do.
And I know that look.
And that is not a good look.
Oh, it's good.
It's better than good.
Can you just tell me? Fine.
It's Paris.
Paris, Billy.
I, Jane Quimby, am going to Paris.
When? Tonight! I mean, it's only for five hours and 49 minutes and I'm on the next flight back but it's Paris.
A few months ago I would've been excited for a day trip to the Barneys outlet.
And now I'm going to Paris.
I just need one teeny, tiny, little favor.
I don't do passports.
I have a passport.
There's another small-ish to slightly large favor I need from you in order to make this happen.
LULU: Are you nuts? Jane? Sleeping at my house? She's not actually sleeping at your house, Lulu.
It's just, if it comes up, and it won't, you need to tell Ben that Jane's crashing at your place tonight.
No one would believe that.
Her brother will.
And what if someone else finds out about this? Me and Jane? A sleep-over? Seriously? Do you have any idea what that sort of thing would do to me socially? Not that I care.
Right.
No.
I I don't care.
I'm sorry.
So, where's she really going? I'm not at liberty to discuss.
I'm your girlfriend, you're supposeto tell me everything no matter what it is.
And I'm your boyfriend, so it would be cool if you did me this one little favor without asking a million questions.
Okay, fine.
So, you'll do it? I'll think about it.
The sting of battle will only make you stronger.
Do not flinch at oncoming fire.
Do not hold your position.
Always moving forward.
Always advancing.
The time is now, and I am proud to lead you all to victory.
Let's do this! Okay, people, shirts and skins.
(ALL MUTTERING) Right.
Bad idea.
Just shirts.
All right, get on the line.
Let's play some dodgeball! Jane, I need you to put down the notebook thing, and get on the front line.
Oh, I can't.
Sure you can.
This is your game.
I can feel it.
You've got it.
No, I can't out this down, Ben.
It's very, very important.
And dodgeball isn't? Go put the notebook down.
It's not a notebook, it's a Lookbook.
It's work related.
And I cannot put it down, not even for a second.
Jane, I want you to put it down.
I'm not putting it down.
I'm not gonna do it.
You better do this.
Dude.
You're making me look really bad here.
I'm sorry.
It's just I can't put this down, Ben.
Put the look-a-whatever-it-is down and hit the dodgeball court right this minute, or I'm giving you an F for the day.
An F for the day? In dodgeball? Is that even a real thing? It is now.
(SIGHS) Sit this one out, Quimby.
Fine.
All right, let's play some dodgeball.
Hey, Jane.
Hey.
So, your brother's teaching dodgeball now? It appears that way.
So how was your date? Well, she did stay through the whole thing, so that part was an improvement.
Ouch.
How was your date? I didn't know you were into older guys.
(LAUGHS) Mine was definitely not a date.
It was a work dinner for my internship.
Oh.
It's good to know.
Hey, Fadden! Break it up over there! Sorry, Coach.
I was just leaving.
That's what I'm talking about.
Good job.
Don't want to get you in trouble.
Hey, Rita Shaw.
Are you going to that faculty karaoke thing tonight? Of course.
I'm Asian.
Joking? What do you think? Honestly, I don't know.
I'm sorry, I was just thinking that since Since what? Jane is having this whole friend sleep-over thing at Lulu's.
I thought that maybe you and I could hit the faculty party and get to know one another a little better, and Wait.
Back up a sec.
Jane is having a sleep-over at Lulu's house? Yeah.
You actually believe that? Why wouldn't I believe that? I'd be willing to bet a year of my generous board of education salary that Jane isn't sleeping over at Lulu Pope's.
Where else would she be sleeping? I don't know, Ben.
Did you ever stay out all night when you were in high school? Sure.
And what is it that you were doing? Well, I don't wanna brag, but Oh, God.
Look.
It happens.
Kids grow up.
They get curious.
Curious? No, Jane's not "curious.
" Look, maybe there's a boy she likes? Nick Fadden.
Okay, then.
This all makes sense.
Just don't blow it out of proportion.
Maybe it's time you and Jane have "the talk" about I have to stop this.
Leaves on the ground I stand on stairs to apartments Boom! I can't get over the fact that I'm stuck here and you get to go to Paris tonight.
I know.
Maybe I could fit you in my carry-on.
But you'd have to wear those really skinny jeans.
You know, the tiny ones? Ha! Funny.
I just I hope getting this Lookbook to Paris saves Gray's job.
Did you talk to Lulu yet? I did.
And? She didn't exactly commit, but she insinuated an interest in committing.
Why did I have to say her name? I mean, it just popped out and then I couldn't take it back.
Of all the names I could've picked I had to say Lulu? She's never gonna do it.
I'm working on it.
Stay with me tonight Stay with me And I'll keep holdin' on BEN: Your grip's off.
Yeah, I'm just messing around, Coach.
Yeah.
"Messing around" is sort of what I wanted to talk to you about.
Look, I know my focus hasn't been perfect lately, but I can get the job done.
You know, you're a teenager.
You should take it slow.
I was a lot like you in high school, and I was known to, let's say, over-swing on occasion.
When youyourself at the plate tonight You need to We don't have a game tonight.
Right.
But if you found yourself for some reason up to bat tonight Why would I Work with me here.
Okay.
Fastball, straight down the middle.
What do you do? I try to hit it out of the park.
No, no.
No, you don't.
I don't? No.
Are you following me here? Not really, Coach.
(SIGHS) Let's try this again.
Whatever you're doing tonight, if you get a fastball down the middle, just swing easy.
Very, very easy.
Just lightly tap it.
Don't do that.
If you accidentally make contact, first base only.
Nothing more.
Do not try to go for second base.
Hey.
Home run? Not an option.
You hear me? Hey, Coach! Thanks so much for letting Jane sleep over tonight.
Everything I just said, ignore it.
You swing for the fences, buddy.
Good talk.
Thank you, Billy.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
And I can't believe I'm about to say this, but please thank Lulu for me.
In less than nine hours I'm going to be on a plane to Paris.
And hopefully saving two jobs.
Of course I've heard.
What've you heard? Nothing.
Just Look.
I spoke to an old mate from Parsons last night, has his finger on the pulse about this sort of thing, if you know what I mean? And, well Well what? Come on, enough with all the fingers and the pulses.
Diaz is gone.
No.
Yeah.
Gone as in no-longer- Creative-Director gone? Gone as in out-of-the-company gone.
No.
Yes.
And Gray? It doesn't look good.
But wait, wait.
Who's gonna take over? No one knows for sure.
No one knows what? Oh.
Hi, Jane! Hello, Jane! Hi.
Are you guys talking about Gray? I don't know! Stop pressuring me! I don't actually know anything, okay? He's on the Master Cleanse.
Very cranky.
Right.
I hate to cut this short but I have to go.
Can you believe it? Believe what? Diaz out.
Gray out.
It's like Christmas came early this year.
Oh, poor Gray.
Oh, I can see you're really torn up about it.
I mean, let's be honest.
The timing couldn't be better for me.
Everything's going according to plan.
Plan? What plan? Nothing.
Just that Gray and that annoying little assistant of hers will finally be out of my hair.
(SIGHS) I almost feel sorry for them.
I said "almost.
" Passport.
Check.
Boarding pass.
Check.
And the Lookbook.
Check.
No check.
No.
No, no, no.
This is not happening.
It's gone.
The Lookbook is gone.
Please, pick up.
Please, pick up.
Now very rarely will you hear someone say, "The movie was better than the book.
" That's because it's impossible (CELL PHONE VIBRATING) to fit an entire book into two hours.
Hey, I can't talk right now.
I need your help.
I'll call you right after class.
No, no, no, no.
Billy, please don't hang up.
I'm having a major meltdown here.
Janey, I Mr.
Nutter.
Hi.
Am I boring you? Not at all.
Really? 'Cause you seem a bit distracted.
Maybe it's just because you're on the phone.
I don't know.
This is not a good time, Janey.
Billy! And you're still not hanging up.
If that is not your mother or your barber on the line, I'm gonna need you to put the phone away.
Somebody took the Lookbook.
What? I said put the phone away.
It's gone, Billy.
It's gone! I'm sorry, Mr.
Hunter.
Uh, I gotta go.
Oh.
No, no, no.
You should stay.
Listen, you can either sit in your seat now, or you can sit in it after school during detention.
All week.
It's your choice.
Billy, please don't hang up! I'll take the detention.
Now that's what we call a bad decision, gang.
Okay.
What happened to the Lookbook? I can't believe I'm actually saying the word "Lookbook.
" Someone stole it.
Why would they do that? I don't know! Because they're trying to get Gray fired.
Because they want her job.
Because of politics in fashion, and because the world is dark and stormy.
Hi.
All I know is that somebody stole it.
Sorry.
And I think I know who.
Yeah, of course.
We'll celebrate this weekend.
I'll call you back.
India.
Person.
Quick question.
Nope.
I need to You need to what? I need to Yes? Uh Borrow a pen.
There.
Now I'd appreciate it if you stopped staring at me like a psycho and moved along with your happy, perky day.
Can I just Get out of my office? You may.
The sooner the better, actually.
Okay.
Yes, Jane? How's it going? You tell me.
Wow.
That's I love that.
Okay, I need you to do something for me.
And it's probably gonna sound a little weird.
Anything for you.
I need you to get India out of her office for, like, five minutes.
And how do you propose I do that? I don't know.
Aren't you two Friends? With Don't say it.
Benefits.
She's in a terrible mood today.
She's in a terrible mood every day.
She just threç a pen at me.
Not really convincing me.
Um, please? Are you gonna help me or not? (SIGHS) Hello, there.
I'm busy.
I realize that.
But I wanted to show you something in my office for about five minutes.
"Something in your office"? I've seen it already and I'm not really in the mood for those five minutes right now.
I assure you it's strictly work-related.
Wait.
Five minutes? That's just cruel and completely untrue.
Fine.
What is it that you wanted to show me? Right this way.
You look ravishing.
I really like this.
It's kind of a new look.
Okay.
You know what? I got a lot going on today and I'm not feeling that helpful right now, so Please, don't go.
INDIA: Oh, my God.
(CHUCKLES) You want to have the talk.
I've withheld and now you want.
That is just so guy-like.
That is me.
I am a guy.
Okay.
Cut to the chase, please.
You want to have the talk, let's have it.
Go.
What I think is that you are going to love, really love the color pattern in this new design.
It's kind of a burnished auburn mixed with a few other great colors that, obviously, I came up with.
And the best bit is there's a hint of eggshell.
Just to bring out the contrast.
Grow up.
(GASPS) You're right! I do want to have the talk.
About the state of our relationship.
I've been avoiding it and now it's time.
So let's talk about our relationship, shall we? Although, perhaps that's a poor choice of words.
"Relationship.
" I knew it.
That little weasel.
JEREMY: I mean, it's such a loaded word.
Oh.
Let me start over.
In an arrangement such as ours "Arrangement"? (SCOFFS) Let me start over.
Two trains leave at the same time from opposite stations, and they meet in the middle.
And that is why I choose to take cabs as often as possible because the Underground system in this town is so unreliable.
Am I right? I'm glad we cleared this up.
Aren't you? No one has it.
My life is over.
Literally.
Gray is going to hunt me down and kill me.
Deep breaths.
Jane, deep breaths.
Okay? Are you with me? (BREATHING DEEPLY) Jane? Jane? Yes.
Yes, I'm nodding.
Yeah, I can't see that.
Right.
Sorry.
I'm just a little overwhelmed right now.
Let's think about this, okay? It's gotta be somewhere.
Where did you see it last? In my bag! Which was on my shoulder the entire day.
Okay, maybe you just left it somewhere? It totally could've slipped out of your bag.
Is there anywhere that could have happened? Oh, maybe here at work, or at school, or possibly somewhere in the city of New York.
Well, that narrows it down.
I'm totally screwed.
No, you're not.
Because we're gonna find it.
You look at work and I'll look at school.
Everything's gonna be okay, Janey, I promise.
Okay.
Okay, you're right.
And the cosine is what? One Hey, hey, hey Think you've got problems Oh, oh, oh More than you know Hey, hey, hey Do you wanna solve 'em? No, no, no You just quit and go home Nothing is right Everything's wrong You close your eyes and start singing You don't know the words but it's your favorite song How about one more time with some feeling? Hey, hey, hey Think you've got problems Oh, oh, oh More than you know Hey, hey, hey Do you wanna solve 'em No, no, no You just quit and go home.
This is a good look for you.
I like you on your knees.
What are you doing? I lost a contact lens.
Is that so? Sort of.
Oh! Wow! Would you look at that? I just found it.
What a relief.
Oh, God.
Thanks for your concern.
Don't touch me.
Jane.
Jane, I think you've looked everywhere.
I know.
I lost it.
And the worst part is I let Gray down when she needed me the most.
What's this? Choos always make it better, honey.
It's not working.
Mmm.
Billy? Carter? Yeah, you're gonna want some caffeine for this.
She hasn't completed a sentence for over an hour, just kept pointing at your name in her phone.
Where is she? (SCOFFS) Wow.
This is quite a sight.
Don't judge me.
I just want to lie here, surrounded by pretty clothes and Choos until I'm fired.
My last moments of semi-happiness.
You realize, I'm gonna feel guilty for the rest of my life about getting Gray fired.
You didn't get her fired.
Yet.
We're gonna find it, Jane.
How? The plane leaves in a few hours.
I've looked here.
You've looked at school.
It's gone.
And I'm the one that lost it.
Okay.
Come on.
Now, think.
Were you anywhere else at all? Anywhere? Nowhere.
Except a cab.
This should be easy.
It's way too hot for me Out on the street There's gotta be some way to beat the heat It's getting worse and worse So just leave 'em be The shadows on the wall Out to get me Ain't got no one And ain't got nothing to prove You tell me I'm no good Well, tell me something new I've heard it all before What you gonna do You never seem to hear A single word I say I already checked it.
Ain't got no one And ain't got nothing to prove 'Cause when you ain't got nothing You ain't got nothing to lose Ain't got nothing to lose Ain't got nothing to lose Ain't got nothing to lose Ain't got nothing to lose.
Thanks for helping me look.
I'm sorry we couldn't find it.
You're not the only one.
So, what happens now? I guess I call Gray and I tell her I lost it.
And I hope against hope that she We get to keep our jobs.
I'm really sorry, Janey.
It's okay.
It's just When I think about how hard it's gonna be to get back to the place where I am right now You're here with me.
That's what matters.
I'll be here for you Yeah, I'll be here for you (SIGHS) How was your day? You must be so excited for Paris.
Paris? No, I don't know what you're talking about.
Save it.
Fine.
You won.
I won? Yes, you won.
So, you can spare me the crazy, creepy speech about how Gray's on her way out, and how I'm on my way out with her.
That's not why I'm here.
No? Nope.
I came to give you this.
It was you.
It wasn't.
Trust me, I don't need to steal Gray's Lookbook to get ahead.
A taxi driver returned it to the front desk about an hour ago.
You must have been beside yourself.
I've been a little concerned.
Yes.
I don't know what to say.
Thank you, India.
Right.
Sorry.
Thank you.
It's just I'm a little confused.
Not that I'm complaining.
It's just You don't even like me.
So why help? Because that Lookbook It's not gonna save you.
Or Gray.
(SIGHS IN RELIEF) Rise and shine, Bill-bo.
(GROANS) What time is it? It's 5:00.
In the morning? What're you doing up? Never went to sleep.
Come on, let's go.
I need you to drive me to Queens.
The meds guy finally came through.
On credit.
So you can keep your hard earned American dollars, but I still need a getaway driver.
Getaway driver? Yeah, well, maybe just a driver.
Come on.
It's gonna be fun.
"Fun"? Fun like our last road trip? Where is this sarcasm coming from? I had a great time on our last road trip.
So did I.
Oh, yeah.
Until that Quick and Go clerk charged me with a baseball bat.
We got away.
Barely.
And you could've told me you were gonna steal that beer before we went in.
You never tell the decoy he's the decoy.
You know what? Just leave me out of this one, Tommy.
I'm not getting sent away.
You think I'd put you at risk? Come on.
You're my baby brother.
I love you.
This is gonna be fast and easy and consequence-free.
Yeah.
Until we get caught.
I promise you we won't.
Fine.
80-20.
And you can take Xandra with an X to prom.
But no funny business though.
(GROANS) Hey, I can't do this without you, Billy.
Then don't.
Okay.
(SIGHS) (UPBEAT SONG PLAYING) (CELL PHONE BEEPING) Sorry, I can't wait.
Uh, you're so cute.
I mean, not that I'm available.
Technically, I'm available, but emotionally I'm not available.
And you don't understand a word that I'm saying, do you? Thank you.
Merci.
I'm here! I have the Lookbook.
You're two minutes late.
And you just missed Donovan.
I was really hoping to introduce you.
Donovan? Donovan is here? You've actually met Donovan? Of course I have.
But But what? I thought you were gonna get fired.
No, of course not.
You're not? No.
You are looking at the new Creative Director of Donovan Decker.
There are big things ahead for us, Jane Quimby.
Big things.
Oh, um, do you want me to just wait here or should I Don't be silly.
You're in Paris for a few more hours.
What do you want to do? I want someone to know My favorite ice cream I want someone to laugh When I act like I'm 13 I need someone to stay Till I can fall asleep Make being awake Like living in a dream And at the end of every day No one can take these things away We all want love and that's okay Maybe there's someone 'Cause when the sun has slipped away And the darkness swallows the day I wish you were here right now.
That is the only thing in the world that could possibly make this any better.
Well, I'm just glad you made it.
It's the middle of the day there, isn't it? Did you just wake up? No, I've been up since 5:00.
Why? Tommy.
