American Crime Story

It's only a rough idea.

And what is the idea?

I believe, for a woman, a dress is a weapon

to get what she wants.

Perhaps we could add steel?

Let me see that.

There you go.

Hmm.

Gianni will get this.

Is no one going to talk about it?

No one wants to say what is wrong with him.

No one even admits there's anything wrong.

Which of these are yours?

Mine?

These are not your sketches.

No, my idea is there.

A dress as a weapon.

What are you?

Are you a designer?

No, what are you?

What are you? Are you a collector

of other people's ideas?

- Call me what you want. - No, no, no, no, no, no.

Tell me. How do you call yourself?

I assist you the best that I can.

You have the opportunity to be great

and you choose to assist.

No. None of us chose this situation, Gianni.

Gianni, maybe you should rest.

I won't talk to you when you are like this.

No, this is how I talk. And if you don't like it,

good, we never talk again.

Gianni, I know why you are angry and I am angry, too,

- but it's not my fault! - I'm sick.

We have to face it... because I cannot hide it.

What do you want from me?

I want everything.

You have it all.

I give you all.

Then it's not enough.

It's not enough.

Sorry.

Ah, now you go.

Now you go. Go!

Go assist! Go assist and bring me coffee,

and bring me espresso,

and maybe arrange some flowers!

What?

I'm not afraid of your temper.

She's not ready.

Go apologize to her.

Don't have time to be kind.

You don't have time to be cruel.

I can't sketch.

I just can't.

- Neither can I. - You're just saying that.

No, it's true.

Ask any designer.

It's not the quality of the sketch.

It's the quality of the idea.

I'm scared.

I know.

Pretending to be bold is not enough.

I'm not asking you to pretend.

I'm asking you to grow.

Into what?

Into you?

We're going to design a dress together.

Something new.

Just you and I. We're going to work together

as if it were the last dress I'll ever make.

Don't talk like that, please.

I have to because soon it will be just you.

All of this will rest on you.

This company is you. It's not me.

Mm-mm.

You have to make it yours.

You have to take it.

You have to own it.

This dress you want us to make together...

what do you want to achieve?

This dress is not my legacy.

You are.

Oh, I like that toothpaste.

I'm sorry?

I'm actually finishing my PhD at UCSD.

Just a few more shifts here.

Great.

Have a nice day.

Uh...

Not on my time.

Does it ever bother you?

What?

That the customers only know you as that helpful man.

Does it bother you?

I can't pay you for time you're not here.

You're always late.

The money's fine for me.

I wasn't thinking about myself.

I was thinking about my mom.

Is your dad still sending money?

No.

He's gone.

You need a plan.

No more magazines.

Vogue is not a plan.

I didn't get all this by being idle.

Yes, Mr. Mercado.

It was half the price

and the same flavor as the Häagen-Dazs.

Why do you have to get so upset

about a silly thing like ice cream?

Because I want the best!

Well, who says that German stuff is the best, anyway?

It's not even German, Mom.

It's just a name that they made up

to make it sound special.

Ha, well, a made-up name, there you go.

Reuben Mattus, the founder,

his parents came from Poland, but he lived in Brooklyn,

but he wanted the brand to sound Danish

because the Danes helped out the Jews in World War II.

It's even why there's a map of Denmark on the early cartons.

You are so smart, Andrew.

Next time...

buy Häagen-Dazs.

Okay, Andrew.

So, what's the plan tonight?

Someone old? Someone new?

- Someone borrowed? - Someone new.

How about you?

Plenty of options.

But you never make a move.

The idea of being told no is not worth it.

- We're all told no. - You're not.

That is not true.

For me, being told no is like being told I don't exist.

- Thanks. - It's like I've disappeared or something.

Hey.

You're a catch.

Not like them.

It's a look, that's all.

It's a look people want.

You serve your country.

I respect that so much.

Oh, thank you.

I'm living my childhood dream.

I spend my days at college being asked

to join the Republicans Against Welfare Club.

I'm against welfare.

You said that your dad

works at Merrill Lynch. My dad works there.

- What's his name? - Modesto.

People call him Pete. He-he's been assigned

to a long-term project in the Philippines.

I didn't know Merrill had operations in the Philippines.

Oh, they opened their offices in Manila in 1957?

Three years before Tokyo.

Andrew knows everything.

He's amazing like that.

Modesto from Manila.

I'll tell my dad to look out for him.

Love you.

I love you, too.

Have fun.

Go home.

Swim off the hangover in your pool.

It's a good idea.

I'll settle it next time.

No problem.

When, uh...

most young guys walk into this place...

they don't even see me.

But you always do.

Can lie about a lot of things in life.

But there's either money in your wallet...

or there isn't.

Andrew.

Where have you been?

For hours and hours.

Where do you go?

Where do I go?

Are you drunk?

Drunk on dreams.

What dreams?

Dreams of getting out of here.

Dreams of getting far, far away from here.

What about me?

Little mama, don't you know?

No.

Ah, don't you know that you're my dream woman?

- You're coming with me. - I am?

Mm-hmm. You most certainly are.

And where are we going?

Oh, we're going... up.

High.

Sky-high...

...where they all look up at us,

and we look down on them.
