00:00In a youthful, more exciting direction. I mean, we're talking about an opera.
00:07Please.
00:09Could we go in another direction for a moment?
00:12These ideas are all fine, but they're just a little small.
00:16Now, we went private so that we could prepare for the long run.
00:20To think big.
00:22I would like to talk about expansion.
00:25I would like to discuss spreading America's enthusiasm.
00:29Well, you talked about going outside the box.
00:31I am talking about thinking outside of the country.
00:33I am talking about Russia.
00:51I love you!
00:55Oh, my goodness, you do need help.
00:58You do. You all need help.
01:00This is a new time release formula.
01:03Time release formula.
01:05Richard's on the phone.
01:07Thank you.
01:09Good.
01:11Now, you translate that they should continue exfoliating.
01:15And then, I would like you, please, to pray to God to bless your new enterprise.
01:21What?
01:24Richard, I'm teaching them about God and how God says that he will help them who help themselves.
01:35But that does not, of course, mean that they will steal from others.
01:39It's wonderful, Richard.
01:41Now, what else is I forgot?
01:43Oh, I forgot about the bumblebee.
01:45Would you do something for me, please?
01:47Would you do something for me, please?
01:49Translate for me that the bumblebee, aerodynamically, does not know how to fly, but he does it anyway.
01:59And any time any of them see a Mary Kay consultant with a little bumblebee on her lapel, they should bow.
02:18Oh, my God.
02:33Welcome, welcome, welcome.
02:38Welcome to my humble home.
02:40How are you all doing?
02:42Remember me?
02:43You gave me the key.
02:47I told you I would be queen of sales this year.
02:49Well, I'm on my way.
02:51Of course, I remember you.
02:53How are you enjoying that beautiful automobile?
02:55Ginger, you have changed my life.
02:58No, honey.
03:00You have changed your life.
03:03Oh, my God.
03:05I'm so happy.
03:07I'm so happy.
03:09I'm so happy.
03:11I'm so happy.
03:13I'm so happy.
03:15You have changed your life.
03:18I can't believe I'm actually going to see your very own closet.
03:22I know.
03:24It's going to be so much fun.
03:26Let's get started.
03:31Tell me as soon as my special guest gets here, okay, babe?
03:35This is my closet.
03:38I've organized it to evening wear, corporate wear, day wear.
03:43Oh, my God, Ginger, that is gorgeous.
03:45Oh, you like it?
03:47Want to try it on?
03:49No, I couldn't.
03:51Oh, yes, you could.
03:53Size 4, same as me.
03:58It's always been a bit big on me.
04:00You know what? I want you to have it.
04:02Are you sure?
04:04Yeah, I'm sure.
04:06Well, thank you, Ginger.
04:07You're welcome.
04:10Let's continue on.
04:14These are to apologize for taking you all away from your families today.
04:18Thank you.
04:20Thank you.
04:22You're welcome so much.
04:24Okay, bye.
04:26Bye.
04:31Dang, those are good.
04:33Now, we want you to create your own product line, all right?
04:37They're not going to offer you that over there.
04:39Sure you want a margarita?
04:41We think you're fabulous.
04:43Beauty Control loves you.
04:44We love you.
04:45We want to do whatever it takes to get you.
04:47How about a drink?
04:48You want a margarita?
04:50Lady Mary?
04:52Well, the thing is, Mary Kay has been really wonderful to me.
04:58I mean, she bought my house.
05:00No one's saying she's not a nice old lady.
05:02Is she going to let you design your own product line?
05:05Is she going to let your imagination run wild?
05:08Well, she has been out of the country a lot.
05:10Now, Mary Kay is a private company.
05:13And a private company is not going to offer you stock options.
05:16Mary Kay's time has come and gone.
05:20It's my time now.
05:22It's Beauty Control's time.
05:25Mother, on Monday, you're going to get some reports that look much better.
05:29The financials have improved since going private, and sales are up.
05:34And Russia's good?
05:35Oh, yes. No, Russia's going to be very good for us.
05:37So are China, Finland, Kazakhstan.
05:41The numbers are way over the bridge.
05:42Wherever there are unrecognized women, that is our market, Richard.
05:47And that means all over the world.
05:50So many women are aching for opportunity to be recognized.
05:58I can see it in their faces, in their eyes, in their skin.
06:03They do need our help.
06:08Mother, you look tired.
06:11Well, what a sweet thing to say to a woman who has taken off her makeup.
06:16I have a good mind to ask you to leave.
06:21I think we should talk about changing your schedule.
06:24Going back on travel.
06:25Slowing down for a little while.
06:27Because I want you staying sharp.
06:29Sharp?
06:31Well, isn't that sweet?
06:32You just finished telling me how well we're doing.
06:36I am perfectly fine, Richard.
06:38No, you're not.
06:39Yes, I am.
06:41And the grandkids miss you.
06:43Remember, you promised.
06:44You promised to teach the boys croquet.
06:46I have never missed a birthday.
06:48And every time I'm away, I send every single one of them a postcard every single day.
06:54Mother.
06:58You lost Clifton.
07:02He resigned this morning.
07:05He went over to beauty control.
07:08He was the best product man we ever had and he's gone.
07:13Look, I know everything seems to be working in Russia and going private.
07:18It all seems like a fairy tale, but I can't help thinking it all might have gone the other way.
07:24Richard, I know what I am doing.
07:28Mother, what is going on with you?
07:32I have never, ever seen you like this.
07:36Wait a minute.
07:37Yes, I have.
07:40Yes, I have when I was a kid.
07:43And you were pulling out all the stops trying to win some promotion or a sales contest.
07:50That's it.
07:51So I guess the question is here.
07:53What's the contest here?
07:55What are you trying to win?
07:59Richard, I will not stay home and bake cookies.
08:03I will not put a bun in my hair and sit in a rocking chair and knit sweaters.
08:09That's what you have in mind for me.
08:13I think...
08:16Mother.
08:17Mother.
08:18Mother.
08:19Mother.
08:25Mother.
08:40You will never be me.
08:43Who would want to?
08:45No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
08:51There is an alternate route to success.
08:54When you come to a roadblock, take a detour.
09:09What happened?
09:10Mother, you're in the hospital.
09:12You had a stroke.
09:14You're going to be okay.
09:28Who are those friends?
09:35Will.
09:37Ginger Heath and the whole Beauty Control family.
09:40Oh, hey.
09:43Going back to work.
09:45Mother.
09:46Oh, no, Mrs. Ash, the doctor hasn't released you yet.
09:49Well, I'm releasing myself.
09:51Mother.
09:52Son.
09:53Here we are back in the lobby.
09:56Did you hear this thing about Mary Kay, that she had a stroke?
10:00Oh, yeah, but she's going to be fine.
10:02Ginger already sent flowers.
10:04Great.
10:05Just the woman you need to meet.
10:07Clifton, this is Beverly Duckworth.
10:09She knows where all the bodies are buried, don't you, Bev?
10:11Oh, I wouldn't say.
10:12Now, listen, Clifton, if you need anything, I mean anything at all from Ginger,
10:15you come to Bev, okay?
10:17Because all key product decisions have to go through Ginger.
10:19Wait, wait, wait a second.
10:21We agreed that I'd have my own line.
10:22Oh, that's just a formality.
10:23No big whoop.
10:25Welcome to Beauty Control.
10:26Now, let me get you to your executive.
10:28Wow.
10:33Yeah, yeah, I mean, I know that's the footage,
10:35but the story here really isn't just, you know, Battle of the Makeup Queens.
10:40Yeah, of course, the cross-cutting does give it an axe,
10:43but I think that there's more here, and if...
10:46Yes, she did have a stroke,
10:47but we can't necessarily say that the two are linked, right?
10:51Well, we'll see.
10:52I'm going to do a final 20 with her right now.
10:57Well, watch out.
10:59You sit in that chair and you'll be wanting to wear makeup.
11:02Hello, and how are you?
11:04I'm good.
11:06We're all set up.
11:08We're ready to go.
11:09Fine.
11:10Where would you like me to sit?
11:11Right here would be perfect.
11:12All right.
11:15Thank you.
11:18Thank you.
11:19It's fine.
11:21Now, I want you to know the piece looks like
11:25it's going to go in a different direction than we first discussed.
11:30Oh.
11:31Well, I'm sure you'll be fair.
11:34Thank you, Kenneth.
11:36And that's all anybody can ask for.
11:43Okay.
11:45Okay.
11:49Mary Kay, have you thought about at what point you would consider retiring?
11:57When my mother died, she was 87,
12:00and her skin looked wonderful.
12:03She didn't begin to use our skin care products until she was 70.
12:08Since I began to use them at a much earlier age,
12:13perhaps God will be very good to me.
12:17You know, we get those financial analysts coming down here all the time.
12:21When they take a look at our reps, they take a look at Mary Kay's reps,
12:25they are just amazed at the excitement and the
12:29will be very good to me.
12:32You know, we get those financial analysts coming down here all the time.
12:36When they take a look at our reps, they take a look at Mary Kay's reps,
12:40they are just amazed at the excitement and the vitality and the youth of our women.
12:51You often invoke God in your speeches.
12:53Are you using God?
12:55Oh, I sincerely hope not.
12:58I hope instead that he is using me.
13:01And so Mary Kay, this contradictory icon of female beauty and financial success,
13:06finds herself in yet another race.
13:09While her detractors may say that the private woman has long been lost
13:13in the larger-than-life public persona she herself created,
13:17no one can argue with the fact of her very real achievements.
13:20The Mary Kay story is far from over,
13:22and there's no doubt this indomitable woman will rise to this,
13:25the latest in a long series of challenges.
13:28Annika Kern, World Now.
13:30She didn't even mention the stroke,
13:32and that was a lot better than I thought it would be.
13:36That is a pisser.
13:39Twenty-minute story, and you're on for all of what, five minutes?
13:43I mean, she barely mentioned us in the wrap-up.
13:46Honey, what's wrong?
13:48I think it's great. I think it's fabulous.
13:51What?
13:52You're going to see Mary Kay, and then they're going to see me.
13:54Now, who do you think those girls want to be, huh?
13:56They're going to want to be me.
13:58They're going to love us.
13:59They're going to love us!
14:02Beverly, send an inspirational e-mail out to every single beauty control consultant.
14:06Make it personal.
14:10I've asked you into my home to share my deep and abiding pride in each and every one of you,
14:16and to say this,
14:18you go ahead, reach for the stars,
14:22and make your dreams a reality.
14:24Know that you can do it.
14:28God did not have time to make a nobody.
14:31You are a somebody.
14:33And remember, pink jaws mean pink cars.
14:48Hi.
14:49I hope you don't mind me saying this,
14:51but you look so beautiful that I would just love to get your opinion on our products,
14:56and I can tell you to take good care of your skin.
14:59Excuse me.
15:00You're going to think that I'm crazy,
15:02but I'm in a contest to give 30 facials by October 1st.
15:09Aileen, I wasn't trying to sell anything.
15:11I was just making an observation about her complexion.
15:14Now, if I could come in...
15:15No, that's it. I warned you. You swore. You promised.
15:17My friends wouldn't talk to me for a week after the last time.
15:21Take your damn makeup off!
15:27Ah.
15:29Pardon me for eavesdropping.
15:31I know exactly how it feels to lose someone you love.
15:35I have been in just the same position,
15:37and I was able to turn my whole life around.
15:40Let me tell you how.
15:41I have another idea.
15:43I think we should provide color consultation for our clients.
15:47But isn't that something that beauty can do?
15:49And I have selected a name for it.
15:51It has a very nice ring to it.
15:53Mary Kay Color Logic.
15:55She can't do this to me.
15:57I thought of the color analysis program.
15:59It's mine.
16:01Now, ladies, we get to go shopping.
16:03I know y'all want the very best deal.
16:05How does your face look?
16:06Do you see and feel a difference on your right side and left side?
16:10I'm not gonna let her get away with this.
16:12We're gonna sue!
16:14They sue us. Let's sue them.
16:16Which set would be your hottest desire if I was to give it to you?
16:19All of these picks include a shopping spree
16:21when you share your check of facial and glamour update
16:23with three to five brands in the next two weeks.
16:26Why don't you practice on the couch here?
16:28Oh, yeah, yeah. That's a good idea.
16:30Hi.
16:32My name's Brooke.
16:33And I'm with Mary Kay Cosmetics.
16:35And I'm looking for women who want to work part-time
16:37six to eight hours a week
16:38and earn an extra $200 to $300.
16:41Do you know anybody who might be interested?
16:43$200 to $300 a week?
16:44Yeah, absolutely.
16:45And that's just a start.
16:46You'd be on my team.
16:47I'd help you every step of the way.
16:49And it's...
16:50Oh, it's a lot of fun.
16:52Don't do it.
16:56If you're looking for an opportunity,
16:58beauty control is the career you're looking for.
17:02Beauty control?
17:03Hardly anyone's even heard of beauty control.
17:05But everyone has heard of Mary Kay,
17:07and mostly everyone has tried it,
17:09and no one wants it.
17:11It's over-saturated the market.
17:13Beauty control offers head-to-toe image consulting,
17:16skin sensors, colour analysis, spa products...
17:20All right, their start-up costs are double ours.
17:23And we have 500,000 consultants worldwide
17:26compared to their lousy 50,000.
17:28Ten times as many consultants
17:30is ten times as much competition for your customer base.
17:33No recruit, Poacher.
17:34She isn't your recruit.
17:36Not yet.
17:37What's a recruit?
17:39Ask yourself if you want to look like a dynamic young woman
17:42or like an old hag in a wig.
17:45What?
17:51Oh, no, you didn't.
17:53Oh, well, um...
17:55You just...
17:58Oh, my goodness!
18:06Damn!
18:08No, no, no, wait!
18:17Butterfly can flutter by.
18:19Its wings are small but sound.
18:22But the bumblebee,
18:24aerodynamically, should never leave the ground.
18:27It's all the scientists say most every day.
18:30Its wheels can't bear its weight.
18:33But the bumblebee, paradoxically,
18:36continues to fly straight.
18:39So never let them tell you no.
18:41Be like the bumblebee
18:43and go, go, go.
18:46You are my proudest accomplishment.
18:49Oh!
18:50Oh!
18:51Oh!
18:52Oh!
18:53I'm okay!
18:54Despite appearances,
18:56no matter how glamorous or successful you become,
18:59true happiness does not necessarily follow.
19:02Think of poor Marilyn, sweet Marilyn Monroe.
19:05The world loved her so.
19:07She was so very, very alone.
19:10Hello, Barbara Ann.
19:11Mary Kay Ash here,
19:13wishing you a very happy birthday.
19:15Are you having a lot of fun?
19:17One of the local team's sales has really dropped.
19:19The field manager wants to know what you want to do.
19:21We can't afford a slowdown,
19:23so find out who the weak link is.
19:25If she has one of our cars, pull it.
19:28That'll get her back up to speed.
19:30No, it really is, Mary Kay.
19:33Well, what are you doing?
19:35Do you have a cake?
19:36Mother, would you let me make a few calls?
19:38Why don't you go home?
19:40Yeah, fine.
19:41Keep them coming.
19:44No, my dear, you changed your life.
19:48Absolutely.
19:50Oh, I'm so sorry.
19:52I have someone at the door.
19:54I need to see who it is.
19:55Will you forgive me, please?
19:57I'm so proud to have spoken to you, Barbara Ann.
20:00Bye-bye.
20:01Put my car down! Put my car down!
20:03Put my car down! Put my car down!
20:04Put my car down!
20:05Lady, I got orders to tow it.
20:06But, look, I...
20:07Okay, here's the deal.
20:08I've only been undercoated for a few weeks here.
20:10I've been working my butt off, so don't do this.
20:12Mary Kay Cosmetics owns a lease on this vehicle.
20:14They tell me pick it up, I gotta pick it up.
20:16But...
20:17Sorry.
20:18Oh, I can make a...
20:20Oh, my gosh!
20:21Oh, my gosh!
20:23So, where is she today?
20:25I don't know.
20:27When's she coming in?
20:29You got me.
20:30Can't Dick approve it?
20:33Nope.
20:39You know, when I left Mary Kay,
20:43I thought their days on top were numbered.
20:46I mean, I was designing Beauty Control's line myself.
20:49And I knew it would be a good product.
20:52But...
20:55It just ain't enough.
21:00I hear a rumor we might be downsizing.
21:02What do you think, Clifton?
21:07Think?
21:09What do I think?
21:12I think I haven't laid eyes on Ginger in a week.
21:16I think that Dick is out playing cowboy on that ranch they bought.
21:20I think it's unbelievable that they bought a company jet
21:25for three and a half million bucks that nobody else uses.
21:29I think it's outrageous that their payout package
21:32is more than 15% of our total operating income.
21:36But, hey, that's just one man's opinion.
21:41I mean...
21:47Oh, man, sometimes I sure miss that old lady.
21:51You know what? Let's move the left seat in the chaise lounge.
21:54Let's flip-flop them.
21:56I'm going to create a nice line in here.
21:58Ginger He.
21:59Oh, hi. It's Tanya.
22:01Tanya. Good to hear from you.
22:03How are you enjoying that new automobile?
22:05Oh, it's just great.
22:07Look, I hope you don't mind me calling you...
22:09Move it.
22:10...directly instead of going through your office.
22:12Oh, no, no. I love talking directly to people.
22:14I think it's fabulous. Can you hold on a sec?
22:18Bev, it's me.
22:19How did someone named Tanya get my cell phone number?
22:22Crap. Got another call. Hold on.
22:24Ginger He.
22:25Can you hold on a sec?
22:26I don't like this here. It's bumping into my hip.
22:28Let's move it. Let's switch it with the two chairs.
22:31Let's put the wingbacks in the left seat.
22:34Let's switch those and see what happens.
22:36Okay?
22:37Ginger He.
22:38Oh, it's me. It's Tanya.
22:40I just think it's important that you know
22:42what some of the girls are saying.
22:44They're complaining that there aren't enough new products.
22:46You know what? Can you hold on a sec?
22:47I got another call.
22:49Ginger He.
22:50Hi, Ginger Clifton.
22:51Look, I need a word about these new products.
22:53Since you're the only one at the company
22:54who can give me final approval,
22:56I need to know when you're going to be in the office.
22:58And I'm still waiting...
22:59Clifton, listen.
23:00Honey. Honey.
23:02I had a brainstorm
23:04about the packaging of the Sun and Sea.
23:07Uh-huh.
23:08I don't like the metal tube.
23:10I want a clear plastic tube.
23:14Well, see, the thing is,
23:15a product with vitamin C has to go in the metal tube.
23:18The light oxidizes...
23:19Ginger He.
23:20Hi, Ginger. It's me again, Tanya.
23:23We must have got cut off.
23:25I just think it's important that you know
23:27that people are asking about products
23:28that we just don't have.
23:30Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
23:31Yeah, we're going to change all that right away.
23:33You're going to see a lot, a lot of changes in the future.
23:35Okay?
23:36So, so, so great.
23:37Gotta go. Bye.
23:38Because I've been...
23:39Clifton, it's a clear plastic tube.
23:40Uh-huh.
23:41End of story.
23:42Now, women and packaging,
23:43it's very important.
23:44I should know.
23:45Look, there's nothing I could do about it.
23:47Vitamin C oxidizes in the light.
23:48I don't care where it's at, Clifton.
23:49I can't just finish...
23:50I wanted a clear plastic tube.
23:51Now, you're the genius.
23:52You figure it out.
23:53Thank you very much.
23:54Bye.
23:56Ugh!
24:00I don't like that.
24:01Move it.
24:02Just put it in the conservatory.
24:04I don't care what you do with it.
24:05If that relieves me,
24:06we're gonna have to change my cell phone number again.
24:08You can't chase two rabbits
24:10and catch either one of them.
24:15You know, I've been thinking.
24:17You come over to Beauty Control,
24:19and I guarantee you'll be a director
24:20in a matter of months.
24:22Why drive a pink Caddy
24:23when you can drive a Mercedes,
24:25color of your choice?
24:27Why be the old and tired
24:28when you can be the hip and new?
24:31Just cut the sales pitch, Tanya.
24:33Let's talk figures.
24:34Percentages, monthly grosses,
24:35levels for qualification prizes.
24:40I'm listening.
24:42Anyone who competes
24:44has to face defeat sooner or later
24:46and learn how to go from there.
24:53Oh, I might have known.
24:55She's still down here with the Nationals.
24:57We have a boardroom full of people
24:59waiting upstairs,
25:00and she is still down here.
25:02You can't take her away from her Nationals.
25:05Pushing herself awful hard, isn't she?
25:10I'm gonna try and stop her.
25:12Well, sir, if you can't,
25:14I sure don't know who can.
25:17Richard.
25:20I was gonna come up and knock on your door.
25:23I've just been, um...
25:25What's wrong, Richard?
25:27Something's wrong.
25:28Something with the grandbabies.
25:30What's happened?
25:31No, no, no.
25:32They're...
25:33They're fine, Mother.
25:34They're fine.
25:35They're fine.
25:36They're fine.
25:37They're fine.
25:38They're fine.
25:39They're fine.
25:40They're fine.
25:41They're fine.
25:42They're fine.
25:43They're fine.
25:44They're fine.
25:45They're fine, Mother.
25:47It's you I'm worried about.
25:51Oh, that is very sweet.
25:53Oh, very sweet.
25:54No, not tonight.
25:55Tonight I'm not being sweet.
25:59Tonight I'm being honest.
26:02Mother,
26:04it is time.
26:08Time?
26:11I've always admired you.
26:13I mean, you do know that, don't you?
26:15I mean, you did everything.
26:16You built everything.
26:17Never complained.
26:18Not once.
26:19You even made it look easy.
26:22But, Mother,
26:23it doesn't look easy anymore.
26:25You're pushing yourself and it shows
26:27in some of your decisions.
26:29And over and over you bet the company.
26:31And you keep betting the company
26:32and sooner or later you're gonna lose the company.
26:34Now, Mother, you built yourself a monument, right?
26:36Something that you want to last.
26:37Isn't that right?
26:38That is right!
26:39And long after the rest of us have been forgotten,
26:41you want us still to be there
26:42with your name, doing your work.
26:44Isn't that right?
26:45That is right!
26:46Well, that's not gonna happen
26:47unless the company can survive without you.
26:50And that is why it's time to step aside.
26:55And if you hang on,
26:57it won't be because you're strong.
27:00It'll be because you're weak and afraid.
27:05Richard.
27:06I know what you're gonna say.
27:08You have no idea what I'm going to say.
27:12Now, first of all,
27:13I'm extremely disappointed in you.
27:16If you have some concern,
27:17you know my door is always open.
27:19You can bring it up with me
27:20and no need for all this drama.
27:25Now, naturally,
27:26I have given this some thought.
27:31I want to tape seminar.
27:34I want to tape various
27:36informative and inspirational events,
27:38events which I will be giving.
27:41And I'm going to build a museum.
27:45A museum for women to come for inspiration
27:49and to enlarge their sense of possibility.
27:54Now, Richard, of course I know
27:57that one day I will be leaving this earth,
28:00but it just seems to make that
28:03regardless of what happens,
28:04Mary Kate should live on.
28:08I hope so.
28:26Very often,
28:27a woman's brains are worth
28:29only 50 cents on the dollar
28:31in a mail-run company.
28:33Once again,
28:34we have failed to meet our sales projections
28:36this quarter.
28:37Let's get a lot of fire
28:38under those consultants' butts.
28:40Let's get a fire started
28:41out of our own butts.
28:43Come on, y'all.
28:45Beauty control's all right, all right.
28:47Beauty control's all right.
28:49Beauty control's all right, all right.
28:51Beauty control's all right.
28:53Beauty control's all right, all right.
28:55Beauty control's all right.
29:00I think a private conference is in order.
29:04Come on, buddy.
29:05What are you saying?
29:06You're telling us to sell our house?
29:07And the plane?
29:08Why do we have to get rid of the plane?
29:10I love the plane.
29:11The stock is down 35% this year alone.
29:14It profits this quarter only $607,000.
29:19Flying around in a $3.4 million jet?
29:22That just doesn't look good,
29:23particularly when combined
29:25with that $50,000 clothing allowance.
29:27I need that to look good.
29:29It's for the company.
29:31All right, now listen.
29:32We started out with $18 million in stock,
29:35all right?
29:36Now it's down to, well,
29:37a hell of a lot less than that.
29:38We want that stock to go up more than anybody.
29:40Hell, we're the biggest stockholders.
29:42Maybe so, Dick, but not the only stockholders.
29:44Will you please speak English?
29:46I'm trying to understand
29:47what you're trying to tell us.
29:49Three things.
29:51One, you cannot continue spending
29:53at your present level.
29:54The money just isn't there.
29:56My personal advice is
29:57you change your lifestyle immediately.
29:59Two, company stock is now so cheap
30:02that we are a sitting duck for a takeover.
30:05Three, since, unlike you,
30:07I do know how to cut my losses,
30:09I'm resigning.
30:11Effective today.
30:20This one, look at this.
30:22I wore this at the first seminar.
30:24Did I ever tell you about the chicken
30:26and the jalapeno I made?
30:28And the jello salad?
30:30The jello salad melted all over everything
30:33in that warehouse.
30:34It was so hot, you see,
30:36and it was...
30:38Well, we had so many good times back then.
30:42Oh, this is Nashville, 1988.
30:46Washington, D.C., 1991.
30:49Cape Cod, 1973.
30:52Moscow.
30:53Oh, Moscow.
30:54Oh, remember Moscow.
30:56Yeah, so I think what we should do
30:59is line them all up, you know,
31:01straight line like this.
31:03We should have spotlight on them all,
31:05and we should have captions underneath,
31:07just like they do in all the museums.
31:12Oh, Ginger,
31:14I thought you should know.
31:16A few people have been wondering
31:17if there are going to be any Christmas bonuses this year.
31:19Well, I really can't say.
31:21Beverly, you ought to know.
31:23Just like they do in all the museums.
31:26Oh, but Ginger,
31:28I thought you should know.
31:30A few people have been wondering
31:32if there are going to be any Christmas bonuses this year.
31:34Well, I really can't say.
31:36Beverly, you ought to know better than anyone
31:38we haven't done that well this year.
31:40And look at my hands.
31:41Can you afford a manicure?
31:42Well, that's what I thought,
31:44but then I thought about the house
31:46and the jet and the ranch.
31:48Beverly, those are for business.
31:51Our consultants need someone
31:53who's living the life they aspire to,
31:55and that's yours truly.
31:58I haven't had a raise in three years.
32:01Okay, I'll look into it.
32:03Okay.
32:06Great.
32:12Mother, Amanda and I talked it over,
32:15and she said she'd be happy to spend the evening with you.
32:18Wouldn't you, honey?
32:19Yes.
32:20Well, then don't stand over there.
32:22Come here by me.
32:23You give me your hug, honey.
32:25Richard, go on to seminar where you belong, huh?
32:28Let me see you.
32:30Oh, this is beautiful.
32:33Quarterlies are in.
32:37And?
32:38It's a company record.
32:40Overhead is down.
32:41Inventory is the lowest it has ever been.
32:44And we cut the delivery time for getting product
32:46to the consultants to 36 hours.
32:53Richard, it's all right.
32:57Thanks, Mom.
33:00Good work on those quarterlies, son.
33:06Will.
33:08Richard.
33:11One more thing.
33:22You know it was never about the makeup, don't you?
33:26It wasn't?
33:28No.
33:31Women have an innate ability to deny their God-given talents.
33:39And, Richard, you would do very well to remember that.
33:43Hmm?
33:47Okay, Mom.
33:53Hmm.
33:59Now, you go on to the seminar.
34:01And I'm going to stay here with Amanda.
34:04And we are going to play.
34:07Uh-huh.
34:09Oh, my God.
34:15Oh, my God, I missed you.
34:17Yeah, we're here for more.
34:19Good job, Amanda.
34:28Ladies and gentlemen, we are crestfallen to tell you
34:31that Mary Kay Ash is in poor health
34:34and will be unable to attend tonight's seminar.
34:37What?
34:40Please, ladies, keep your seats.
34:43Just please keep your seats.
34:46Wait.
34:52It is her wish that her son Richard take charge
34:56and the seminar continue as planned.
35:00Please.
35:01Mary Kay is watching on closed-circuit TV.
35:05Lexi.
35:06Thank you.
35:07Lexi.
35:17Brooke, what are you doing here?
35:20Well, I just wanted to see you be crowned queen.
35:24So you get up and you be crowned.
35:27Oh, Brooke, what was it all for?
35:29I mean, she's not even here.
35:31All that hard work, all that makeup.
35:34Oh, Jenna.
35:37No.
35:38What would Mary Kay say right now?
35:41Well, that a mediocre idea that generates enthusiasm
35:45will go further than a great idea that inspires no one.
35:50No.
35:51When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
35:57You're right.
35:58Oh, you are so right.
36:00I'm not gonna let Mary Kay down.
36:03Oh, sugar.
36:04Yeah, I'm gonna go get that crown.
36:09Well, today we're following up on our story
36:11about the so-called makeup wars
36:13between direct sales powerhouse Mary Kay
36:15and upstart Beauty Control.
36:17Today, the war came to a sudden end
36:20when it was announced that the Tupperware Corporation
36:22has acquired total control of Beauty Control.
36:25Beauty Control stock, which had traded as high as $22,
36:28was recently priced below $4 a share.
36:31As part of the sale agreement,
36:32Dick and Ginger Heath will continue in the same roles
36:35at the company for the next five years.
36:37Meanwhile, privately held Mary Kay Cosmetics
36:40has announced record-breaking numbers.
36:42Bravo, Annika.
36:44And now, our new queen of sales,
36:47Lexi Wilcox.
37:01Hi.
37:06What's going on?
37:07Hey.
37:08Hey.
37:26Hey, listen, come on.
37:29Mama?
37:30Thank you, Mary Kay.
37:35It's very nice, and you put it on your chin just a bit.
37:38That accentuates, actually makes the diamonds glitter more.
37:42Do you like diamonds?
37:44I love diamonds. Everybody loves diamonds.
37:47And the older you get, the more you're gonna like the diamonds.
37:50God bless.
37:52Thanks.
37:54Thanks.
38:20That's a girl.
38:22What color is that?
38:24It's rose butter.
38:27Rose butter.
38:29Yeah, rose butter.
38:32You're my angel.
38:35Well, as I have always said,
38:37it is God first, and family second, and career third.
38:53Come on and put on your makeup
38:57and wake up to who you can be.
39:23What?
39:40What?
39:52What?
40:22What?
