Ugly Betty

aaa

Hi.

I'm doing crunches. You got the money or not?

Yes. Well,no. Y-- some.

But look,I think if you let me explain,

You'd be a lot more open to working this out.

I've had an awful,awful week,and please just hear me out.

Fine. Move your face.

I finished audrey hepburn's ogbiography last night,

And it totally inspired me.

audrey hepburn-- she's so boring.

I hated "breakfast at tiffany's.

" But if you tell one gay person I said that,I will deny it. I will.

I promise. Anyway,audrey basically gave up her stardom

To go and do good in the world,and it made me think.

- I'm an editor now. - Really?

And I'm finally in a position to tell stories like that--

Stories about people who do inspiring and selfless things.

Well,here's your next assignment From the powers that be.

Inspiring?

"the most comfortable stiletto"?

Betty suarez--

keeping the dream alive For hookers with hammertoe.

Fed***

I don't think I'll ever get tired of those lips.

Willie,don't you think we're kidding ourselves here?

Meaning?

Meaning you can't go on like this--

Giving up an actual life in the world

To visit me here in this godforsaken place.

I'm gonna be in here for years. That's no life for you.

Please.

I've done much worse for much longer And gotten much less out of it.

I'm serious. You deserve more than this.

Connor,I'm happy. Now stop it.

30 minutes! That's it!

I can't believe how many ads we lost While hartley was in charge.

Can we just talk a little more about how much I hated him?

Maybe later. So when we shaving the beard,do you think?

We are not. I like it.

Hmm. We'll revisit.

Daniel,I need marc,and you're just gonna have to deal with it.

Well,since you asked so sweetly,How could I possibly say no?

I'm sorry. I'm working like an 8-year-old seamstress here

***

I don't have time to replace him now.

Hmm,says the woman who strolls in at,oh,look at that-- 11:00.

I was visiting my sick aunt in jersey.

You feel good about that crack now?

Point being,you stole marc from me.

The least you could do is share him with me,just for a while.

And how does marc feel about that?

Uh,it's funny how you pretend Like I have any say in it at all.

Fine. But just for a while.

Will there be extra compensation For this extra work?

I no longer feel betrayed by you.

That's compensation enough.

- giddyap. - Right.

- well,what have you been up to? - Well,I know,you know,work is kind of slow...

Sorry I'm late. do more charity work.

charity work? What charity work?

Well,I've been building houses for happy homes.

Yeah,a group of us go in,And we build them with the people

Who are actually gonna be living in them.

It's a great experience.

Reminds me to be grateful.

You're so good. I hate you.

Me,too.

Sorry. I was eavesdropping.

Uh,I don't hate you. I love you.

Actually,I don't know you,

But I'm just grateful that you do what you do.

See,that's what I want to be writing about--

Stuff like that,people like that who do things like that

I'm sure I'll find a way to turn "the most comfortable stiletto"

Into something a little more me,

But I have no idea what that's gonna be.

But anyway,enough. How was your morni?

Well,first yoga and a movie,

Then I'm going to pick a paint color for my walls--

Swiss mocha or eggnog.

See? You leaving "mode" was really good for us,

'cause before I would have already known that.

But now I'm like,ooh,what color is he gonna choose?

And then it hit me--

why don't I write a story Called "walk a mile in her shoes"?

I can feature a specific shoe and then attach a personal story

Of an inspiring woman who wears that shoe in her daily life,

Like a woman who builds houses for the poor and her work boot,

Or a charitable executive and her designer heels--

I mean,uh,comfortable stiletto.

Who's really gonna believe that anyway,right?

What was wrong with the assignment You were given,betty?

back up.

Nothing. I just thought that it was a little light

And I could put it in my own voice.

You're not paid for your voice. You're paid to imitate mine.

I chose that story for you.

Sorry. I just thought that--

You do make a good point. The story does need something--

A new writer.

You can go. That's right,betty. You get nothing.

Everyone,watch betty leave.

That's it?

Your boss was mean to you?

That's your awful week?

Let me finish.

ugly betty s04e11

Hilda,I'm freaking out.

I made wilhelmina really,really mad.

What happened? Hey,chew over the bowl,huh?

She took away my piece. What do I do?

Do go back and apologize and beg for it back?

tell her I'm coming over,And I'm pregnant and bloated,

And she'd better do whatever you tell her to do.

Seeing as that whole image terrifies me...

I think I'm just gonna ask for it back.

All right,well,that's your call.

Hey,what did I just say?

,ay,I'm going now. And be nice to bobby.

Okay,bye.

My father is mad enough that you got me pregnant.

You can't afford to wreck his house.

All right. It was an accident.

We can't afford any more accidents around here.

look,it's a little spaghetti on an old rug.

- I'll clean it up myself,all right? - Oh,no,no. I will clean it up,

Because that is who I am around here.

I am the cleaner-upper person.

I cleaned up after justin this morning,

I will clean up after you now,

And I will be cleaning up after this baby for the next 50 years.

Now you're mad at the baby?

No,I just...

I'm sorry.

I just want to take a shower,and I haven't had time.

And now I'm pregnant,And I will never have time to take a shower ever again!

Sweetie,come on,stop.

- What's stopping you from-- - You spilled on the rug!

Excuse me,wilhelmina?

You have 30 seconds. Go.

Okay. Um,I'm sorry,really,really sorry,

About what happened in the pitch meeting.

I didn't mean to offend you at all.

- 10. - Wow. That was 20 seconds?

Ally? Is thaw how you want to use the rest of your time?

No. Right. Again,I'm sorry.

I'm grateful to have the job at all. I meant no disrespect.

I know my place here,And I will write a great piece in your voice,I promise.

Save the world on your own time,betty.

You write whatever fluff piece I give you,

And then maybe I'll give you something better. Understand?

Yes,100%.

I did like the title of your piece.

"walk a mile in her shoes.

" So let's do that. Let's have you walk a mile...

In these.

And write about how comfortable they are.

Oh,and,betty,I know what those soles look like With a half mile on them,

And I know what they look like with a whole mile on them.

Oh,my god. Are you kidding me? Seriously?

- Betty? What the-- are you all right? - Daniel!

No. I'm gonna die.

Wilhelmina's making me write a first-person piece

On how comfortable these heels are.

What? Do you want me to talk to her?

No. I'm trying to pay my dues

So she'll give me something better to write.

Will you walk with me,please?

Okay,but we have to walk fast.

Marc forgot to book my car again. I'm literally ruging to an appointment at coach.

He's really been messing up a lot lately.

Marc? Lyally? Marc's an amazasg assistant.

And no offense,dlniel,But you're not the best commutocator.

Wait. That's-- bebetty,but-- no. What?

See? I mean,I understood that,But I've worked withou for a long time.

All right,ue guess maybe. All right,I gotta go left here.

Okay,just peel off gently.

Oh,no,no! oh.

I can never tell with you,betty.

Is this an accessory you're working,Or did you actually hurt yourself?

I actually fell into traffic.

A mile and a quarter.

I was ten blocks away from st.Vincent's,

So I just kept going,and fortunately,

It was a long wait,so I could write my piece.

I e-mailed you 200 words from the hospital.

Fine. You may have anher piece.

Supposed to make your skin feel As soft as a baby's ass in two days.

See you Thursday.

- Excuse me. - Sure.

was that really moisturizer?

By ukrainian standards,yes.

Oh! Connor put me in the worst mood this morning.

He's pushing me away.

He thinks he's doing it for me.

He suggests I go out live my life.

What? What are you doing with your face?

You really are in love with him.

Of course,but that's no reason to feel things for me.
