Party From Hell

John?

John!

John.

Gracie! Breakfast!

Breakfast is in the toaster.

Morning, sweetheart. - Morning.

it's cold.

- The toaster must be broken again.

Throw it in the microwave.

Mom's secret recipe?

Morning, morning.

morning.

- the green tie. What's the occasion?

- I got a meeting today with the attorneys

About the new acquisition,

And I want to look intimidating.

But I can't get this thing to hold a knot.

You want to help me with this, please?

- Sorry, I got to get this email out this morning.

We're out of milk.

- Maybe there are some granola bars.

You know what?

I'll just get something from the caf.

- Did you get the name of that party planner from tom?

- Yeah, he sent me an email. Said it was stacey something.

Stacey davis.

That's it.

Said she's great.

She's the best.

That's why she's booked until the end of the year.

Everyone I've talked to is either booked,

Retired, or on vacation.

And one of them had a yelp review that said

That she was "the jenna maroney of party planners."

What does that even mean?

- I don't know. And I don't want to find out.

I do need to find someone today though,

Or else your sister is gonna throw our relaunch party

With her usual savoir faire.

- Oh, you know, people like a beer keg and beanie weenies.

- Not billionaires like peter mason, sweetheart.

- Hey. - Hey, good morning.

How are you doing, miss a, mr. A?

- Hey. - Hey, corey.

Good morning.

- Can corey and I study at the coffee grinder after school?

- Yes, but be home for dinner, okay?

knock them dead, kiddo.

Mwah.

Come on.

Oh, you're a lifesaver.

How did you know?

- Josh called on his way to work.

Said you had kind of a hectic morning.

- Yeah, and the titanic kind of hit a fender bender

On the way to the uk.

What did he call about?

- Oh, he's just looking for the perfect

Congratulations gift for you for the relaunch.

I told him spa weekend with your sister-in-law,

Best friend, business partner, aka me.

- I haven't even thought about what I'm doing next week

With everything going on.

- Oh, you mean relaunching the app

And try to save our company from imminent collapse?

I am.

I thought an app connecting tutors

And students remotely was a great idea.

Socially conscious, bringing people together...

And now?

- And now, I'm wondering if I should've just stuck

With writing code for someone else's mobile game.

You don't mean that.

Once we launched the new interface,

It's gonna be smooth sailing.

- Or, you know, at least back to the old familiar hurricane.

- So I've been thinking about it,

Maybe we don't need a big party the night of the relaunch.

- We're not doing a keg and beanie weenies, ashley.

Peter mason is coming.

I know that, denise.

I'm just saying, if we keep it small, I can plan it.

- And who's gonna help with that?

I'm swamped with the relaunch,

And josh is at work working on this new acquisition.

- Most of my work is already done.

I can keep it classy.

You were at my wedding reception.

Nary a beanie weenie in sight.

- And neither were you for most of it.

'cause it was a lame party.

But it was classy as hell.

You know it was.

- I guess we don't have a choice at this point.

- Yes! Okay, I'll handle all of it.

You don't have to do a thing.

You won't regret this.

Somehow, I already do.

- You know, I don't think my mom's been

To the grocery store in like a month.

- Still pretty swamped at work, huh?

- Yeah, they relaunch the app next week.

- I kinda like the old interface.

It was good for meeting chicks.

You know, we've been going

To school together for two years.

If you wanted to meet me,

You just could've walked across the quad.

It's too easy.

Besides, it's kinda hot dating my math tutor.

- Well, I hope rutledge university likes

Your math tutor as much as you do.

Still no word?

Hey.

They're gonna want you.

What if they don't?

My parents met at rutledge.

It's all they ever talk about.

What if I don't get in?

- Baby, then we'll change our names,

Learn spanish, elope to costa rica,

Have eight kids, and live on the beach.

- Should I be disturbed that you have

Such a specific plan for us?

- I've been thinking about this a long time.

I was never gonna get into rutledge.

But nothing's gonna keep you from getting in.

They'd have to tie you up and try to drag you away

Just to keep you from getting in, and you'd still make it.

You're the best.

Oh, for christ's sake.

I'm so sorry.

I was texting and driving.

- I can't even be mad at it because, technically, so was I.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

And honestly, this looks fine too.

Are you sure?

No.

But if my car explodes on the way home,

I'll know who to blame.

- Well, here's my card, in case you want to keep in touch.

Molly cole, premiere party planning.

What?

You're a party planner?

Well, I just moved into town.

That explains it.

Denise allen.

I am in desperate need of a party planner.

- Seriously? - Yeah.

We're having a big event at my work,

And we're really up against it right now.

A last minute soiree.

That's my specialty.

Tell me more about it.

- It's with our biggest investors.

Peter mason is gonna be there.

The peter mason?

And you don't know if I'm up for it.

Well, here's my website so you can see some of my work.

And this is the number for my last client.

I did a corporate retreat for 300 people.

I'll be in touch tonight.

- I look forward to hearing from you.

- Thank you so much for introducing yourself.

hello?

- Hi, I'm sorry to bother you, my name's denise allen.

I'm calling about molly cole?

- oh, molly. How can I help?

- Well, I'm looking to hire a party planner,

And she said she did an event for you.

- Oh, yes, our corporate retreat.

I'd give her a kidney if she asked for it.

The party was beautiful.

Perfect, really.

She completely saved us.

Huh.

Great. Well, thank you so much for your help.

I'll give her a call.

Please send her my love.

Cheers.

Hi. This is molly.

Hi, molly.

Do you remember me? Denise allen?

I told you, it's not like that.

- And I told you, just saying "it's not like that"
