The Woman Who Was Kept on a Shelf

1
Once upon a time, there was a little girl.
When she was young,
her mother would always say,
"If I had to choose between
you being smart and you being beautiful,
I'd choose beautiful every time."
You look so beautiful, sweetie.
You ready?
Miss Florida.
But of course, all little girls grow up…
get boring day jobs…
meet a man…
fall in love…
and move into his giant mansion together.
-Is it all right?
-Yeah.
Yeah, I saw you were coming
from my balcony up there.
-And I could see you…
-It's a fairy tale really.
Harry?
Harry?
Harry?
Oh, my Go-- What are you doing?
Ta-da!
Wow.
I mean, did you--
I had no idea you were so handy.
Well, I was inspired.
Usually, I'd bring someone in,
but I wanted to build this myself.
Bravo.
Is it for your golf trophies
or for books that I haven't seen?
No. It's for you.
Baby. You're so sweet.
But, babe, I--
I have a few more shoes
than are gonna fit on this shelf.
-We're gonna need a couple more shelves.
-Well, it's not for your stuff.
Okay.
It's for you.
See, I tested all the other walls,
and this one is by far the best.
-It's got a perfect view of the pool, and…
-Okay.
…and me.
Look, if I could just gaze up at you
whenever I wanted,
it would make me feel invincible.
I could launch a hundred businesses
because every time I would look up at you,
I would always remember what I have.
Right.
And never lose sight
of what it's all about.
You want me to sit on the shelf?
Yes.
But I have a job. Harry. I mean, I--
Quit.
Yeah. I don't think
that I can just not work.
Why not? You hate modeling.
You always complain about how
the photographers are creepy
and the hours are abusive.
I mean, yeah, but that--
I guess that's a kind of--
It won't always be like that.
Baby, you are just too extraordinary
to live an ordinary life.
So, fuck it.
-Yeah?
-Well, I--
I-- Let's just say that I'm up there,
okay, living my best life.
What are you gonna do? You're just gonna--
-Just gonna worship me?
-Exactly.
-Come on.
-You think this is a joke,
but I promise I will make sure
that you never have to worry
about anything ever again.
-What are other people gonna say?
-Who cares? This is about us.
All you have to do is sit here
and be loved.
Let me do that for you.
It would make me
the happiest man on Earth.
Yes. I guess. Yes, I could try.
-Yeah. Yeah.
-Yes?
Okay.
Well, may I?
Okay.
All right. Watch your step.
Okay.
-You okay?
-Yeah.
Wow.
Do you need a pillow?
No, I'm-- I'm-- Yeah, I want a pillow.
Anything you need.
Yeah.
-Coming right up.
-Thank you.
That's a pretty nice view…
of a pretty nice life.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hi, baby.
Hello.
Can I get you anything from the kitchen?
Breakfast would be nice. I'm starving.
Me too.
-Orange juice?
-Yes, please.
Okay.
Almost ready.
Okay.
-For you.
-Thank you.
-I'm gonna give a toast.
-Okay.
-Okay?
-Go, go.
It's driven me crazy.
My insatiable drive to…
To Amelia.
Yeah. No, I'm still here.
Look, can you hold on a moment?
I need to confer with my associate.
Sorry. Am I distracting you
from all your business?
Are you kidding?
They're distracting me from you.
Go, go.
Happy birthday, baby.
It is not my birthday.
My birthday's in Octo-- Oh, my God!
Well, I figured, why wait?
Happy Bastille Day.
Harry? What? We're not French.
Don't you dare tell our decorator.
Wow.
Thank you!
Look how good they look.
No present today?
A kiss is still a very thoughtful gift.
It's kind of better than jewelry
if you ask me.
Morning, darling.
Morning.
How was your sleep?
How do-- How was your sleep?
-Good.
-Good.
You look so handsome today.
-Honey.
-Okay.
I-- I'm--
Look at me.
Over here.
Let's flip it around.
One person on each side.
I'll get the chair. Okay.
-Sorry, wait. No, sorry. I c--
-All right, that's it.
Good.
Harry. Harry, what are you--
What's going on? I mean, what--
Change of scenery.
Natural light's better for my eyes.
Okay.
Harry?
Harry?
I don't think I can do this anymore.
I-- I think we should go--
I think we should like--
I think we should try.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
Harry, I'm going out!
-Hi!
-Hi!
Hi! Hello! Hi, I'm Amelia.
Is that your Vespa?
Whoo!
Whoo!
Whoo!
I love it here.
I've never been to the beach.
Isn't that crazy?
Do you guys have
an extra towel that I could use?
No. Sorry.
Well--
Hi.
-Sorry. I was staring.
-That's okay.
I was gonna see if you needed any help,
but it looks like
you have it all under control.
I think I just needed to f-freshen up.
I d-- Is that okay?
Oh, yeah, sure. U-Use whatever you like.
I'm just taking notes.
It took me years
to learn how to apply concealer.
Are you a makeup artist?
No, no.
What do you do?
So, I c-- I…
sit…
For a very wealthy man… like a trophy.
Well, so long as you're happy, huh?
That's what my mother always said.
Well, that's nice. My mother always said,
"If I had to choose between you
being smart and you being beautiful,
I would choose beautiful every time." So…
Well, lucky for you,
you don't have to choose.
I never thought of that.
-What?
-What-- What you just said.
I'm just making conversation.
But I'm happy that you find me so helpful.
My daughter thinks I'm an idiot.
Yeah, and she hates makeup.
Like, hates it.
When I put on eyelashes,
she says I look like Tammy Faye Bakker.
I don't know who that is.
Of course you don't. You're too young.
The bottom line is,
people can be very judgy.
But you're not.
Jordan. Thank you.
Sure.
Can I ring anything up for you?
I work on commission.
I don't have any money.
You guys in line for concert tickets?
No, it's a store opening.
Who stands in line for a store opening?
That's fucking stupid.
Wow, you look beautiful.
Pamela, beautiful work.
Hey, Kelsey, I think soon we're gonna
be out of the Sunset Kitten gloss.
If you could--
You don't have to do it now, just--
I think we're running out,
which is a good thing.
Hi. Welcome to my store.
Why is she on a shelf?
I don't know. Maybe she likes it up there.
Can I be on a shelf one day?
Not a chance.
Hi.
You're so pretty.
Thank you.
Bye.
You know, it's not all--
Hi. Welcome.
Hi.
