Broken Promises - Who's the Boss, Episode One

Transcript

Carolyn, where's that file that I asked you for about an hour ago? No, it's not in the pile here on my desk. Okay, well the cost projections that I need for tomorrow's meeting are in it, so if you could find it for me and bring it in, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks. Pardon? Oh, um.

.. Oh, shit. Okay, yeah, just, um.

.. Fuck it. Send him in.

I. .. I don't have time, but if he's here, send him in.

I don't have time for this. Carolyn, I need the blueprints, too. They're not here either.

This file's incomplete. I don't know what happened here, but I don't have enough to finish this. Wha.

.. Okay, just see what you can do. What are you doing here? I told you I didn't have time to stop for dinner.

Sorry, I know I've canceled plans twice this week, and tonight was another doozy, but you see the pile of files on my desk? There's a massive presentation tomorrow that apparently some of my stuff has gone missing for, and I just, I don't have time. I'm sorry.

Okay, you brought food. Um, yeah, that's really sweet, and I appreciate it, but I don't have time to stop. I just, I don't.

I probably have another two hours of prep on this half of the presentation alone, and then I have to go and deal with my wayward boss and his bullshit before I can go home for the night. And then I have to be back here at 7am to prep the boardroom for the meeting, so I just, I don't have time. Please don't look at me like that.

I know, if I could do anything about it, I would, but I'm tracking for a major promotion right now, and I am doing everything I can to stay noticed. I'm one of seven people up for the same position, so I can't afford to screw this up. Look, I'm trying not to be an asshole about this, but you work a Monday to Friday, 9 to 5 job, and when you leave, you leave it at the door.

And that's great for you, but what I do is different. I'm, I'm in a role where this is, this is my life. If I have to do this, I have to do this, and if that means canceling plans with my best friend, so be it.

And hopefully as my best friend, you would understand. You've known me long enough to know that this is how I do things. If I half-assed anything, we probably wouldn't be friends.

So don't look at me like I just slapped a puppy or something. Please just take whatever food you brought, cause really I don't need that smell in here, and just go, and I'll, I'll call you or text you in a few days when shit settles down, okay? Please.

Well, you don't have a right to be angry right now. You just don't. No, if anybody should be angry, it's me, because you're wasting my time, and you're not listening.

Well, I, I didn't mean to miss the concert last week. I, I didn't. And I paid you back for those tickets.

Well, I didn't know I was going to have a case pop up at the last minute, and my partner was out sick, and what do you want me to do? Really? Just tell, tell my bosses that, you know, I, I can't handle a crisis here because, oh, sorry, we have tickets to a rock concert.

Yeah, that's not gonna happen. So, next? Oh, I knew you were gonna bring that up.

Okay, yeah, I bailed on our trip to Hawaii last year because I had to work, but in all fairness, so did you. What do you mean you didn't? Okay, so you lied to me.

That's even worse. Fuck. You told me that you had to work because you didn't have the vacation time left, and when I got called back in, it was actually a good thing for you.

And we got all our money back from the travel agent anyway because of the insurance that I insisted that we buy. So, again, nobody was out anything, and we just didn't go and get sunburned for a week. Great.

Yeah. Okay, you cannot hold that one against me. You're going to.

All right. How was I to know that there was going to be major flooding downtown, and my project coordinators were going to be needed to help with the damage recovery? That, like, that was not something I could have projected.

That's what we do. That's what we do. So, okay.

Apparently that's my fault too. Pipes burst and it's all my fault. It's great.

Look, I'm going to say this one more time and then I'm going to call fucking security because I'm getting annoyed. And not just angry, annoyed. And you know with me that's worse.

So, just don't. Take your food and go home. I will call you or text you in a few days when I'm not pissed and busy and you're not wasting my time.

Why does it matter? Like, honest to God, do you have nobody else to hang out with? Is that- are you bored? Is that what's happening? You have no life? Like, I'm not trying to be mean, but why is it so fucking important that we go see a movie or we go have dinner or, like, do you have other friends?

Because I'm pretty sure you could call somebody and go. It's not that important. Doesn't have to be me.

Okay, are you, like, going to have a heart attack or something? Because your face is like 14 shades of red right now. And I know you're not that angry.

And if you are, get the fuck out. I don't want to see it. What do you mean it has to be me? That makes no sense.

That makes no sense. Well, no- stop cutting me off. Alright, I'll stop cutting you off, fine.

Say what you gotta say. But please, take a breath because I am a little worried that the color of your face means you're about to have a heart attack. Like, I don't- I don't want to have to deal with that tonight, too.

Okay? Wha- Oh. Okay.

So, you wanted to spend time with me. Didn't matter what you were doing, it was me. I hear you, you don't need to yell.

My assistant will call security if you yell like that again. Okay. Oh.

And how long has that been a thing? Why did I not know this? Why didn't you say something before? Well, yeah, it matters.

I- I mean, I can't do anything about crises, but I might have handled things a little differently if I'd known. Hmm? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

You can't- Stop. Turn around. Look at me.

You can't just tell me that you fucking love me and then go and leave. That's not okay. And yes, I realize two seconds ago I was telling you to get out, but you kind of changed the game on me, so please just wait a second so we can figure this out.

I- I'm sorry. I- I've kind of been a bitch, and you know that's not my default setting. Or at least I try not to let it be.

And yeah, if I had known, I would have handled things a little differently. I mean, I'm not a total fucking heinous person. At least, again, I try not to be.

You actually love me. That- that's bouncing around inside my brain right now, and it's not really connecting with anything, so you're going to have to bear with me while I process that. What? Oh, so we're going to have that conversation.

Hold on. Carolyn? Yeah.

Um, can you go down to the file room and see if you can find me the. .. is it three? The three missing files that we couldn't find this morning? I set the other girls on them earlier this afternoon, so I'm hoping that they were able to clean up things enough to find them.

So can you just go down and take a look, please? Yes, I realize that that will probably take a bit of time, but I would really appreciate the help, because I don't have time to go down and do it. And I need one of them at least for tomorrow.

Thank you. Okay. You have my attention.

And I just sent my assistant downstairs on a fool's errand, because those files are in the boss's office right now. So she is probably going to be down in the archives for. ..

probably half an hour or more. So, you can lock the door and come in, and we can have this conversation. It's actually very sweet that you brought food.

Thank you. I think I've been running on coffee for three days. And oh, sorry, there was a donut at some point today, I think.

I think Carolyn put it on my desk. I remember eating something sweet and it had some kind of glaze on it. So, yeah, food is good.

Since I'm going to take a break anyway. Is this awkward? Does this feel weird to you? Because it feels really weird to me right now.

Like I'm trying to be nice. I've never tried to be nice to you in my life. In fact, you're one of the few people that I distinctly don't have to try to be nice to.

Look, I know. I know what you want to hear. And I know what you want me to say.

I'm just, I'm not there yet. Okay. Just, I'm, it's still bouncing around.

So give me a sec. Oh, actually the drawer over there in the top cabinet, I think. It's been so long since I've had like actual food in here.

I think there might be a box of plastic utensils and some paper plates from somebody's birthday. We had cake. Is it there? Awesome.

Thanks. What did you bring? That's kind of a weird combination.

Egg salad sandwiches and a Cobb salad. I mean, I'm all in because I enjoy those, but I wouldn't have put them together. Okay, I'm drooling now.

You realize that. Nope, don't put anything on those here. Let me, let me shift some things here because I can't have food on any of this stuff.

There. Okay, good. You don't, you don't have to bring the food over and set it in front of me.

Like I can get up and get my own food. In fact, I should probably unglue my ass from this chair at some point. Thanks, though.

Oh, yeah, it's over. Okay. What the hell was that? You were putting an egg salad sandwich on a plate on my desk and then the next thing I know you're, you're, you're doing that.

What the hell? Yeah. Yeah, it was a good kiss.

I'm not arguing with you. Okay. Yeah, she's gonna be gone long enough.

I think we can do that again. Did you learn to kiss like that? Like, seriously.

I'm pretty sure I've known all of your girlfriends and one of them would have at least mentioned that at some point. Okay, before you do that again, which, believe me, I'm, I'm okay with you doing that again. I just want to be really clear.

Okay. I already said I can't, I can't tell you what you want to hear. But if you're, if you're interested in something that doesn't require me to tell you what you want to hear, then, then I think I can probably make that work.

But that kiss, those kisses, they tell me that that's, that's kind of what you're, what you're thinking about right now. And if you can do one without the other, then maybe that's what we need to be thinking about tonight. And not, not the heavier conversation that we know is coming.

Is there anything we can do? Good. Good.

Okay, good. I don't know if this is something I can do, though. That's the only thing.

It's, it's a game changer. The feelings are a game changer, but even just sex is a game changer. And is that really what we want to do? Do we want to cross that line? Oh, you do.

Okay, well, that's, that's one vote. But what do I want to do? I don't, I don't know.

You have completely fucking blindsided me here. Oh, fuck it. I could use an orgasm, or a lot.

So you know what? Let's, let's say fuck it and do it, and we'll worry about the consequences later, because apparently that's just what I'm doing tonight. Well, I think it's safe to say that shit's gonna be different from now on.

I don't think we need to have that conversation right now. I think you need to be, you know, taking off your pants and figuring out how to, I don't know, fuck me in an office chair. Let's make this work, okay? Yeah.

Well, I could, I could be the boss, like I am everywhere else, I guess, if that helps. Yeah? Who knew you liked my bossy side all these years? Personally, I think it's kind of awful, but you seem to enjoy it.

Well, all right, then. I'm going to sit here in my chair, because it's comfortable. And oh, yes.

You are going to get down on your knees. You're going to remove my skirt and my panties. And you're going to bury your face in my pussy.

How's that? I thought, I thought that might work. Oh, you're actually doing okay.

All right, here we go. Well, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna argue with you. Okay.

Wow. You're actually down there doing this. Okay.

Right. I'm the boss. You are doing this.

Take them off. Wow. Yep.

Spread my legs. The chair will handle it. Don't worry, it's very comfortable.

Do you like what you see? Yeah, it is a very pretty pussy. I've also been told it's a very tasty pussy.

You want to find out? You look like you're dying to find out. I think I should let you.

Mainly because I think I'm going to drip onto the chair if you don't stick your tongue in there and lop it up. So let's try that. Spread my legs.

Open my pussy and stick your tongue inside me. Now. Oh, yes, just like that.

Oh, wow. Oh, God. Oh, that's good.

That's good. Oh, work your tongue over my clit. That's right.
