- Uh, so what's this about not making political statements?
- It's standing operating procedure, Kat.
- Not even on a personal account?
- It's a zero tolerance policy. - I see.
It's just, for me personally, it's important
that I'm able to make statements
about things that I care about.
- And we respect that,
but we have Republican customers.
You know? We take money from China.
Look what happened to the NBA after just one tweet.
We need to know what we're saying at all times.
- Right, um--
- We'd hate for this to become a sticking point, Kat.
Tell you what, why don't you come by
the office again today?
Maybe a signing bonus will help smooth things over.
- Okay.
- We'll talk about it when you get here.

- What are you doing here?
- Remember that time at 1 OAK when you got wasted
and threw up in that ice bucket?
- No. Why are we talking about this?
- Because everybody does things they regret,
and Mara Chamberlain is a good person,
and she really regrets stealing that sweater.
- Okay. - So what's it gonna take
for me to pull some Natasha Henning for her?
She deserves a second chance like you and me and everybody.
I'll put my name as a stylist on the line for her.
If I don't bring back everything
in perfect condition, I will never ask you
for anything ever again.
- You're really willing to go to the mat for this girl?
- Yes, it's my job.

- Okay, thank you.

- Thanks for meeting me, Jane. Tell me about yourself.
- Uh, well, I'm 26. I grew up in Colorado.
I got a job at "Scarlet" right out of college, which--
- Jane, I've read your application.
Tell me something about yourself I wouldn't know.
- That you wouldn't know? - Yeah.
Something beyond your writing about BRCA1 and "30 Under 30"
and your media appearances.
I'm trying to get a sense of who you are off the page--
something surprising.
- [sighs] Um...
I don't know. - You don't know what?
- Anything. [chuckles]
Everything.
I'm--I'm totally out of my element here.
Um, okay.
These aren't mine.
I got a double mastectomy three months ago.
And I thought that I would be ready to get back to work
and be a boss, but instead,
I can't do anything. I can't fit into my clothes.
I can't make small talk. I can't interview writers.
I mean, I lied to a 22-year-old that I was trying to hire
about being a member at the Belle to impress her.
But it's just, right now, I-I don't know.
I mean, these don't feel like me.
I don't feel like me, and I...
I just really wish I did.
Yeah. [chuckles]
Too surprising?
- You really lied to a 22-year-old
about being a member?
- Yeah, the words just kind of tumbled out of my mouth
like I was tweeting on sleeping pills.
- When I was doing my due diligence on you,
I saw your TV interview for "Incite."
You had on a flannel shirt, hipster glasses.
You didn't look like you,
and I'm sure you didn't feel like you either,
and yet, you couldn't help but speak your mind and be you.
That's what we love about you, Jane.
That no matter how you look or feel,
you're always yourself.
- Wow.
Thank you for that reminder.
- Of course.
Now, go call that writer and invite her
for a drink at the Belle.
- I'm in? - Yeah.
- Really? - Yeah.

- Are either of you free right now?
Because I have exactly 88 minutes to find a place
to shoot and style Mara Chamberlain on the fly
with no professional help, and as I'm saying
that out loud, it sounds absolutely insane,
but I have to try to do it anyway.
- Oh, I'm sorry, babe, I gotta go meet
about this signing bonus thing.
- Oh, God, I'm running out of time.
This is actually making me nauseous.
I need a place to shoot this now.

I mean, I'm allowed a couple of guests.

- Uh, not really, but do you have a better idea?

Hello.
