第六期 —— 女强人来了……

- What do you know about Darcy McGuire ?

- Oh, hey, l heard on the whisper she just left B.B.D. & O. I never met the woman, but I hear she's a real man-eater. She won that Cleo last year we should have won for the ad about--

- Oh, yeah, right. That was her ? I forgot about that.

- Yeah, I wish I had. Oh, boy, I hear she is a bitch on wheels.

- That's very funny.

- To do what ?

- You know I love you, Nick, but it's a woman's world out there. Getting into a women's psyche is not exactly your strong suit. You can get into their pants better than anybody on Earth, but their psyche is a whole other ball game.

- You made her creative director, didn't you ?

- Sorry. This isn't easy, but I got the board breathing down my neck. She's coming in this afternoon. You'll meet her. Come on. Roll with this. Work with her because she's got what I need to keep this place afloat.
