Richard calls them into the dining room. It's set up like a boardroom. Richard welcomes them to the first official board meeting of the "Style-Aid Corporation." Bad name. He tells everyone to take a seat. He puts Rory at the head of the table, since she's the leader. Richard says he'd like to turn the meeting over to Paris. "Thank you, Richard," she beams. Hee. She says she's glad to see everyone today at the beginning of what she thinks is going to be a very exciting experiment. Brad asks if she has a baseball bat in her hands. Paris asks them to open to page one in their presentation booklets. She tells Brad that they haven't gotten to the "pencil part" yet. Brad drops his pencil. Paris holds up the "RX 2002," a metal case that looks like it holds a flute. It's waterproof and fireproof. Five-year warranty. Richard says the deluxe model has extra features. A snap-in CD case, a lighted vanity mirror, and a divided compartment for makeup. There's also a hidden vault for valuables. Paris compliments him on that good idea. Richard thanks her. Rory says this is really amazing. Especially since they didn't have to do any work on it and Paris did all the work with Richard. Easy A.
Richard asks the Marketing Department (Fraulein and Louisa) to give their report. They want to target teen magazines. They list a few off until Richard interjects that he's heard Jane magazine is a hip, cool thing that the girls read. Rory asks what he's doing reading Jane. Does Jane give this show money? Why is there another Jane shout-out every week? Chip and Brad are here just to nod whenever the words "guy" or "boy" are said. Richard says they should also target the schools themselves through websites, pep rallies, and football games. Emily enters and asks how everybody is doing. She asks if there's enough food. Richard acts like a teenager trying to have friends over. He tells Emily that they're in the middle of an important meeting. Emily acts like her son just said, "Mom! I'm having a tea party with the Lakers!" She leans down and stage-whispers into Rory's ear how happy Richard looks. Rory agrees. Richard asks her to leave again. Emily excuses herself happily. Paris asks Richard if he has the third-year projections. He says he does.
