“Business Unfinished” · Season 1, Episode 10

In this episode: Daisy (4), George (2), Mason (1), Roxy (1), Dolores (1)

[Dolores is setting George up for a conference roomful of collating.]

Collating is so Zen, so meditative. I suppose it's the rhythmic nature of repetition that frees the mind to think deep thoughts. It's like sweeping! Whoosh! Do you know where I'm coming from?

[voiceover] Jupiter?

I do.

You'll be amazed to discover how much your busy-bee hands have accomplished!

Bees don't have hands.

No, they don't, do they? [grinning] But you know who does? You do. And you know what they say about idle hands?

[voiceover] They'll strangle the person who asked them to collate?

[Roxy gives everyone a balloon]

What's the occasion?

I'm guessing she had sex with a carnie.

Why do I need to have an occasion to spread the love?

Because you are an ornery bitch and you eat puppy dogs for breakfast.

Goddamn it Georgia! Show some ambition! That's what separates us from the animals, you know. It's not the opposable thumb.

(Daisy goes to the Point Grey Club to find her reap and stops at a table where she meets Mary Kate Hourihan.)

MKM. K. Hourihan

[To waiter] We'll have that dessert now, I think.

[To M. K.'s friend]: I'm so sorry to interrupt. That scarf is absolutely beautiful. Where did you get it, if you don't mind me asking?

JJoyce

It was a gift. My husband bought it for me in San Francisco.

So flattering.

MKMary Kate

As are you. What's your name, dear?

Daisy Adair.

JJoyce

Do we know any Adairs?

MKMary Kate

Shawn Adair. But I don't think you're related to him. You're much too fresh and lovely and he is a little oily. Lebanese, I think. Anyway, uh, where were you raised, Daisy?

I am one of the Greenwich Adairs.

JJoyce

Greenwich, Connecticut?

Is there any other?

[All laugh.]

JJoyce

I'm Joyce, and this is Sylvia...

SSylvia

Hello.

JJoyce

... Jane and Mary Kate.

So nice to meet you all.

[A dessert trolley comes along their table and they all gasp.]

JJoyce

Ah! Bananas Foster. My favorite.

MKMary Kate

Joyce is turning 30. For the 31st year in a row.

JJoyce

Are you married, Daisy? I have a son.

I'm single, but I'm not really in the market. (Laughs)

MKMary Kate

Are you a lesbian? Sylvia has a daughter. (The waiter lights the dessert.) Oh, how exciting.

[Sylvia starts choking.]

JJoyce

That dessert is so evil. 800,000 calories a bite.

MKMary Kate

Oh please, it's not like it's going to kill you.

I believe your friend is choking on a sugar cookie.

MKMary Kate

Oh, my gosh.

[Joyce tries to help Sylvia and Daisy takes Mary Kate's soul. The waiter comes over to do the Heimlich and the cookie shoots out of her mouth onto Mary Kate. She throws her arms back only to catch herself on fire. Everyone gasps.]

JJoyce

Shit. Mary Kate's on fire.

[Sylvia throws her drink on Mary Kate, causing the flames to spread]

SSylvia

Ohh! My coffee was Irish!
