Ugly Betty

mirror, mirror, on the wall

don't care who's fairest of them all

queen of your own world

sexy and unstoppable

a woman, not a little girl

life is in control

love, love yourself

you're so powerful

respect yourself

love, love yourself

it's so beautiful to love yourself

Aah!

Too funny!

Should one of us change or...

What are you going on about?

We're wearing the same dress.

No, we're not.Why are you being so weird?

Like a lesbian at a makeup counter.

What? I love fashion week. - Uh-huh.

Ok, maybe I used think it was a big fuss about nothing.

It was a big fuss about nothing.

But now I'm into it. I get it. -Clearly.

Oh! Mandy, next time you decide to take in a giant,

crazy stray,

Ask me first!- Marc! Marc!

Oh, thank god. Thank god I didn't miss you. Hi, ladies.

Remember you said you'd give me a good-bye kiss?

No, what I said was "Don't touch me."

How about I just close my eyes,

And you kiss me anywhere you want?

Oh! Bye.

How much longer must I be a hostage in my own home, mandy?

I have enough stress as it is!

It's his first fashion week as editor.

Yes, and wilhelmina is up my grinch to prove myself,

And--that's really cute, by the way. New?

Isn't that funny that we're wearing the same outfit?

Who is? What?

Yeah, I know. Speaking of crazy, when is she leaving?

Do your jobs, people.

"Mode's" Ten designers to watch show

Is in two days, and as of yet,

Half the seats are empty-- which is just as well,

Because one of our designers just quit!

And to make matters worse,

Daniel's banning male models from the show.

Everyone in this room is an editor... allegedly.

The only person who's not a complete disappointment

Is betty.

Let betty be a shining example to all of you--

Working day and night, like a trusty old mule.

And as a reward,

Betty will be writing this month's book review.

So what?A history of the sewing machine."

I've been meaning to read this.

How serendipitous. Well, go ahead, dear.

Right now? What about the meeting?

Well, it is 800 pages. Best get crackin'.

Aye, aye, captain.

Uh, amanda. Chocolate e-claire! How's it hangin'?

It's... hanging fine. Thank you.

Uh, amanda, I won't be in for a few days. Ooh. Where to?

South dakota to see your long lost secret son again?

No, and you don't have to ask me that

Every time I leave the office.

I'll just be tied up with fashion shows,

And if daniel needs me, I'll be on my cell. -Sure thing.

And, amanda...

About my son. Hmm?

If you could just forget I ever said anything about it...

Said anything about what?

Okay. So--

Oh! -Oh! Sorry.

Sorry!

I'm reading the history of the sewing machine...

And I can barely put it down. New headset?

Yep. Brand-new, state-of-the-art, hands-free.

Same one the cia uses. -Oh.

So which show are you covering for fashion week?

I'm not covering the show. -Oh, sure you are.

All the editors get assigned a show. Some have two or three.

Oh.

That's why wilhelmina didn't want me

In the meeting today.

She assigned me a book report

While everyone else is out covering fashion week.

Come on, betty. I'm sure you're being paranoid.

It was probably an oversight.

It wasn't an oversight.

Come on. I thought we agreed. Everyone gets a show.

Daniel, you nixed my male models,

And we lost a designer. I'm scrambling here

Just to try to put this show on its feet.

I don't have time to consider betty's feelings.

Well, I don't think it's fair to single her out.

I'm gonna call her right now.

Do what you want. You always do.

Dial betty suarez mobile.

It's a new earpiece.

STATE-OF-THE-ART. Say okay to dial Becky Jones.

No. Dial betty suarez mobile.

Dial Becky Juarez?-N-NO. SORRY. UGH!

Betty Jonas? NO.

Mm. I don't know how you can stand to live with marc.

Sometimes I just want to wrap my arms

and legs around him like an octopus and squeeze him

till he loves me back.

You know marc's gay, right?

You're hilarious. Whatcha lookin' for, doll?

My green tube minidress.

THERE'S A HOT PARTY AT LEVANTeast TONIGHT.

Ooh, at hotel on rivington. Fun. Mm-hmm.

Ooh, wait. You know what? I think I borrowed that dress.

Hold on... yes!

Here you go.

Yeah, you just put a little perfume under the pits,

It's good as new.

My mini! It's all stretched out!

Helen, what am I gonna wear?

Don't get your panties in a bunch.

What do you got, an hour? I'll make you somethin'.

Yeah, you're gonna make me a dress.

Aah!

And voil?

Oh, my god.

Helen, you totally just made me a dress. Mm-hmm.

How are you so good at sewing?

Well, you know I was amish for a while, right? Oh.

Yeah, just for a summer for this guy I was dating--

Nebediah. Mmm, he had the softest beard.

Anyway, all those long nights

In pennsylvania without television,

You get pretty good with a needle and thread.

Helen, could you make more of these? -Sure, why?

With your crazy sewing skills and my crazy fashion sense

And a fistful of mood stabilizers,

We could be a real design team.

What do you think?

Oh, hon, I've never said no to a proposition.

I'm not about to start now. Aah!

One... two... three! Ah.

Can you believe the restaurant

Didn't want this anymore? -Yes, it's awful.

It's classy. When you walk into a house

And you see a big, beautiful chandelier,

You think, "These people have class."

Oh, betty, it says that you have a missed message.

Lemme see. Oh, that's daniel.

Will you just play the message out loud? -Yeah.

Maybe a little higher, mija.

Ready? One, two, three!

Hey, Betty. I'm with Wilhelmina.

Uh... Oh, uh, say hi, Wilhelmina. Come on, say hi.

Hello, Betty.

Good news. The whole thing was a misunderstanding.

You are covering a show for Fashion Week. YAY!

Betty! Oh!

Oh! Sorry! Betty.

Sorry!

I'll e-mail you the details, okay?

See you tomorrow. Bye.

OH, WHAT A RELIEF! YOU CAN JUST DELETE IT.

Are you happy?

Now we've got Betty judging a fashion show.

Come on, what's the big deal?

She's one of our best writers.

In features! But this is about taste.

Betty never met a paisley or plaid

or awful butterfly belt she didn't love.

Do you think she has good taste?

I mean, honestly, Daniel, really?

Why--why is that light blinking?

You did hang up. Of course I hung up!

I'm not stupid, you know. God!

Oh, crap.

There's my favorite editor.

Just, uh, wanted to apologize for the message I left.

Yep. I got all five of your "I'm sorry" Messages, too.

It's okay.

Really? Can I maybe see that signature betty smile?

There it is!

Look, daniel, I know that I make bold choices in my fashion.

Well, I really think in the last four years,

You've learned a ton. I know that.

Wilhelmina doesn't. What does it say

If people around here don't trust my taste?

Well, I guess you're just gonna have to change their minds.

You can start by writing the best review

Of the fashion show we assigned you.

It is kind of a rinky-dink show

That nobody really cares about, but it's a show!

And the important thing is,

you're not mad at me. -Leave the plant.

Okay.

Because!

Daniel is dead set against using male models,

And, like it or not, I have to respect his opinion.

He was very specific--

"No male models in the 'mode' show, ever."

Really? Daniel?
