1
00:00:06,590 --> 00:00:08,591
(theme music playing)

2
00:01:33,761 --> 00:01:35,678
Ashley?

3
00:01:35,846 --> 00:01:37,847
(television playing)

4
00:01:40,559 --> 00:01:42,643
- Ashley?
- Ashley: Hey.

5
00:01:42,811 --> 00:01:45,521
Oh, hey.
I thought you left.

6
00:01:45,689 --> 00:01:47,648
No, I'm here.
I made coffee.

7
00:01:47,816 --> 00:01:49,358
Oh, cool.

8
00:01:49,526 --> 00:01:51,319
I hope you don't mind
that I'm watching your pilot.

9
00:01:51,487 --> 00:01:53,988
Uh, no.
I don't mind.

10
00:01:54,156 --> 00:01:56,157
Since you would
never show it to me.

11
00:01:56,325 --> 00:01:59,368
- I would have showed it to you.
- (laughs)

12
00:01:59,536 --> 00:02:01,704
What?
What's so funny?

13
00:02:01,872 --> 00:02:03,706
Oh, no.
I was laughing at you.

14
00:02:03,874 --> 00:02:06,709
Oh. I thought you were
laughing at the show.

15
00:02:06,877 --> 00:02:08,503
I was laughing
at the show earlier.

16
00:02:08,670 --> 00:02:11,214
- Oh yeah?
- Yeah. Which one's your client?

17
00:02:11,381 --> 00:02:13,049
The black kid.
He plays Renoir.

18
00:02:13,217 --> 00:02:15,510
Oh really?
I hate him.

19
00:02:21,767 --> 00:02:23,935
Do you really need to give me
a hard time today, Ma?

20
00:02:24,102 --> 00:02:26,145
Everyone's giving me
a hard time today, Turtle.

21
00:02:26,313 --> 00:02:28,105
I'm the laughingstock
of the salon.

22
00:02:28,273 --> 00:02:29,732
Come on,
what's the big deal?

23
00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:31,067
Did you see this caption?

24
00:02:31,235 --> 00:02:33,110
"She's dating him?!"

25
00:02:33,278 --> 00:02:35,696
Question mark,
exclamation point, in bold.

26
00:02:35,864 --> 00:02:37,532
- At least I look good.
- No, you don't.

27
00:02:37,699 --> 00:02:40,034
You look like shit.
Sneakers with a tuxedo?

28
00:02:40,202 --> 00:02:42,411
- They're patent leather.
- They're ridiculous.

29
00:02:42,579 --> 00:02:45,915
- Ma, this is really not a great birthday call.
- Maybe it's a wakeup call.

30
00:02:46,083 --> 00:02:48,793
You're no spring chicken anymore, Turtle.
Get it together.

31
00:02:48,961 --> 00:02:52,547
- I'm trying.
- I know you are.

32
00:02:52,714 --> 00:02:54,382
And I love you.

33
00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:55,633
I love you too.

34
00:02:55,801 --> 00:02:57,260
Have a happy birthday.

35
00:02:57,427 --> 00:02:59,470
Thanks.

36
00:02:59,638 --> 00:03:01,597
Jesus, take it easy.

37
00:03:01,765 --> 00:03:03,224
I didn't even
ask her to watch it.

38
00:03:03,392 --> 00:03:05,101
And who says something
like that anyway?

39
00:03:05,269 --> 00:03:07,186
- Maybe she's trying to be constructive.
- I hate him?

40
00:03:07,354 --> 00:03:09,814
- That's constructive?
- I hate when people tell me they hate me.

41
00:03:09,982 --> 00:03:11,274
I didn't even ask her
to sleep over.

42
00:03:11,441 --> 00:03:12,942
- She just did.
- That's bullshit.

43
00:03:13,110 --> 00:03:15,069
This morning she used
my French press and broke it.

44
00:03:15,237 --> 00:03:17,572
Jesus Christ, E.
You know what?

45
00:03:17,739 --> 00:03:19,740
- Now I hate her.
- So do I. She's done.

46
00:03:19,908 --> 00:03:22,201
Okay, so she's done. So why are
you letting her make you insecure?

47
00:03:22,369 --> 00:03:23,828
I'm not letting her
make me insecure.

48
00:03:23,996 --> 00:03:25,872
Only a bitch lets a bitch
make them insecure anyway.

49
00:03:26,039 --> 00:03:28,457
I'm not letting her make me insecure, Drama.
But you of all people

50
00:03:28,625 --> 00:03:30,459
should know how stressful
a test screening can be.

51
00:03:30,627 --> 00:03:33,296
I'm on a hit series now.
Test screenings are long behind me.

52
00:03:33,463 --> 00:03:35,298
So sorry if I can't
coagulate with you.

53
00:03:35,465 --> 00:03:37,842
I don't think you're using
that word properly, Johnny.

54
00:03:38,010 --> 00:03:39,176
- Really?
- Whatever.

55
00:03:39,344 --> 00:03:41,095
Just pray this test
screening goes well.

56
00:03:41,263 --> 00:03:43,139
'Cause Charlie really needs it
and so does the Murphy Group.

57
00:03:43,307 --> 00:03:45,308
You should have let me do
that cameo they wanted me to do.

58
00:03:45,475 --> 00:03:47,059
Then you'd both
have had no worries.

59
00:03:47,227 --> 00:03:49,020
You might have.
I don't think Scorsese'd be thrilled

60
00:03:49,187 --> 00:03:51,856
- to see you rolling around on the CW.
- No, you're probably right.

61
00:03:52,024 --> 00:03:53,691
- Ew, what are you doing?
- We're gonna pray.

62
00:03:53,859 --> 00:03:55,276
Get off me.

63
00:03:55,444 --> 00:03:57,528
- What are you guys doing here?
- Turtle!

64
00:03:57,696 --> 00:04:00,323
- The birthday boy.
- Happy birthday, Turtle.

65
00:04:00,490 --> 00:04:02,867
- Thanks, Vin.
- I made you your favorite,

66
00:04:03,035 --> 00:04:04,702
with a little twist.

67
00:04:04,870 --> 00:04:07,121
Interesting.
Thanks.

68
00:04:07,289 --> 00:04:08,789
What's wrong?

69
00:04:08,957 --> 00:04:10,958
- My mother's mean.
- Drama: She always was.

70
00:04:11,126 --> 00:04:14,128
Remember your 13th birthday?
She got you a Weight Watchers membership.

71
00:04:14,296 --> 00:04:15,880
- Didn't until now.
- What did she say?

72
00:04:16,048 --> 00:04:18,507
She saw the "People"
magazine pictures.

73
00:04:19,885 --> 00:04:21,719
- The sneakers.
- She thinks I'm a loser.

74
00:04:21,887 --> 00:04:24,388
Turtle, you're in a magazine
that's published all across the world.

75
00:04:24,556 --> 00:04:26,015
You're not a loser.
Now knock it off.

76
00:04:26,183 --> 00:04:28,517
Come on, we have a lot of fun planned
for you this birthday.

77
00:04:28,685 --> 00:04:29,894
Yeah?
What are we doing?

78
00:04:30,062 --> 00:04:32,521
I have a little practice
to do on the track.

79
00:04:32,689 --> 00:04:34,357
So what, you want me
to drive you there?

80
00:04:34,524 --> 00:04:36,484
No, but I do want
you to drive.

81
00:04:40,364 --> 00:04:42,239
If you bump me, Drama,
I'm gonna kill you.

82
00:04:42,407 --> 00:04:44,909
If anybody bumps anybody
in these cars, I'm gonna kill them.

83
00:04:45,077 --> 00:04:47,703
Quit your whining, fellas.
I'm playing to win.

84
00:04:47,871 --> 00:04:49,705
You sure you got
the nerves, baby bro?

85
00:04:49,873 --> 00:04:51,540
Vince:
Oh, I'm quite sure, Johnny.

86
00:04:51,708 --> 00:04:53,626
- Oh, and by the way, Turtle.
- Yeah, Vin?

87
00:04:53,794 --> 00:04:55,878
Vince: I'm dedicating
this victory to you, kid.

88
00:04:56,046 --> 00:04:57,880
- (laughs)
- Drama: Never happen.

89
00:04:58,048 --> 00:04:59,924
Yeah?
We'll see.

90
00:05:00,092 --> 00:05:02,802
(rock music playing)

91
00:05:31,248 --> 00:05:33,249
Whoo-hoo-hoo!

92
00:05:33,417 --> 00:05:35,251
Yeah!
Yeah!

93
00:05:35,419 --> 00:05:37,586
Damn!

94
00:05:37,754 --> 00:05:39,922
- (laughing)
- That was awesome.

95
00:05:40,090 --> 00:05:42,675
Unreal. Who would have thought
I just got my license?

96
00:05:42,843 --> 00:05:44,093
I think I need
a Ferrari.

97
00:05:44,261 --> 00:05:45,594
In this economy?

98
00:05:45,762 --> 00:05:48,055
People will think
you're a real douchebag.

99
00:05:48,223 --> 00:05:49,765
Whoa whoa whoa.

100
00:05:49,933 --> 00:05:51,851
Forget what people think.
Whoo!

101
00:05:53,437 --> 00:05:55,271
This thing is a beast.

102
00:05:55,439 --> 00:05:57,606
Ahem.

103
00:05:57,774 --> 00:05:59,275
What?

104
00:05:59,443 --> 00:06:00,776
Happy birthday, Turtle.

105
00:06:00,944 --> 00:06:04,321
- Are you kidding?
- My gift's on the front seat.

106
00:06:04,489 --> 00:06:05,990
- Vin, I can't take this.
- Yes, you can.

107
00:06:06,158 --> 00:06:08,951
- It's a $200,000 car.
- $240, actually.

108
00:06:09,119 --> 00:06:11,287
But I'm playing Enzo Ferrari,
so I got 10% off.

109
00:06:11,455 --> 00:06:13,622
Seriously, I don't
feel right about this.

110
00:06:13,790 --> 00:06:16,542
I didn't feel right about the last car
I gave you getting repossessed.

111
00:06:16,710 --> 00:06:19,170
Besides, I've had a great year
and you're my good luck charm.

112
00:06:19,337 --> 00:06:20,838
So please enjoy.

113
00:06:22,466 --> 00:06:24,633
- Okay.
- Happy birthday, Turtle.

114
00:06:24,801 --> 00:06:27,053
- (phone rings)
- It's Charlie.

115
00:06:27,220 --> 00:06:29,180
Hey, what's up?

116
00:06:29,347 --> 00:06:31,140
- Any word?
- Not yet,

117
00:06:31,308 --> 00:06:32,808
but I'll call you
as soon as I hear something.

118
00:06:32,976 --> 00:06:34,852
Look, I'm nervous, E.
I don't like tests.

119
00:06:35,020 --> 00:06:36,771
Me either, but I think
we're gonna be okay.

120
00:06:36,938 --> 00:06:39,023
Look, would you call my mom
and tell her that?

121
00:06:39,191 --> 00:06:40,983
Yeah, I will. And I'll call you soon
as I hear something.

122
00:06:41,151 --> 00:06:43,277
- All right, man.
- All right, later.

123
00:06:43,445 --> 00:06:45,696
This kid's a mess.

124
00:06:45,864 --> 00:06:47,406
And you're a rock.

125
00:06:47,574 --> 00:06:49,283
I'm going to Ari's
for the state of the union.

126
00:06:49,451 --> 00:06:50,826
I'll catch up
with you guys later.

127
00:06:50,994 --> 00:06:53,245
Make sure it's strong.
I still got to pay for this.

128
00:06:53,413 --> 00:06:55,956
I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
It's all paid for.

129
00:06:58,376 --> 00:07:00,377
- Good afternoon, Mr. Murphy.
- Mr. Murphy?

130
00:07:00,545 --> 00:07:02,505
Mr. Gold is ready
and awaiting your arrival.

131
00:07:02,672 --> 00:07:04,340
Good, but what's
with the "Mr. Murphy"?

132
00:07:04,508 --> 00:07:06,425
Mr. Gold has asked me
to be more formal

133
00:07:06,593 --> 00:07:08,844
when speaking with the clients,
even the ones I consider friends.

134
00:07:09,012 --> 00:07:12,181
- Well, I don't like it.
- Oh, please tell him, because I don't either.

135
00:07:12,349 --> 00:07:14,183
- But please don't tell him I don't.
- I won't.

136
00:07:14,351 --> 00:07:16,310
Would you like a kiwi-strawberry
diet Hansen's?

137
00:07:16,478 --> 00:07:17,978
Uh, no thanks.
I'm fine.

138
00:07:18,146 --> 00:07:19,855
Mr. Gold,
Mr. Murphy is here.

139
00:07:20,023 --> 00:07:22,024
Indeed he is.

140
00:07:22,192 --> 00:07:24,276
- Why are you smiling?
- I'm not smiling. I was...

141
00:07:24,444 --> 00:07:25,986
- Don't, this is an office.
- But...

142
00:07:26,154 --> 00:07:28,072
Did you offer Mr. Murphy
his favorite beverage?

143
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:29,573
Yes.
He declined.

144
00:07:29,741 --> 00:07:32,993
Lloyd has memorized all
my clients' favorite drinks.

145
00:07:33,161 --> 00:07:34,703
Oh.
(chuckles)

146
00:07:34,871 --> 00:07:37,081
- I said no smiling.
- Yes, sir, Mr. Gold.

147
00:07:38,625 --> 00:07:40,709
- What are you doing to the guy?
- I'm making him a man.

148
00:07:40,877 --> 00:07:43,462
- Do you remember when I made you one?
- Yes, I do.

149
00:07:43,630 --> 00:07:45,923
- And did you thank me?
- No.

150
00:07:46,091 --> 00:07:48,425
- What's wrong?
- I'm a little stressed out.

151
00:07:48,593 --> 00:07:50,052
Testing Charlie's
pilot today, so...

152
00:07:50,220 --> 00:07:52,638
TV? You're stressed out
over TV?

153
00:07:52,806 --> 00:07:54,056
You're in the feature
film business.

154
00:07:54,224 --> 00:07:56,350
And thanks to me
you're now conquering it.

155
00:07:56,518 --> 00:07:57,560
Talk to me, Ari.
What have we got?

156
00:07:57,727 --> 00:08:00,729
We got a $9 million offer
from Paramount.

157
00:08:00,897 --> 00:08:03,023
We got a $10 million
offer from Fox.

158
00:08:03,191 --> 00:08:05,776
And we got a $12 million
offer from Universal.

159
00:08:05,944 --> 00:08:07,611
- I like it. Any of them good?
- They're all good.

160
00:08:07,779 --> 00:08:10,030
Which one is the best?
We'll have to read to decide.

161
00:08:10,198 --> 00:08:12,366
Well, you know Vince's new motto...
line 'em up.

162
00:08:12,534 --> 00:08:15,077
Line 'em up we will. See,
this town isn't so rough after all.

163
00:08:15,245 --> 00:08:17,746
- (phone ringing)
- Oh wow, this is the studio.

164
00:08:17,914 --> 00:08:20,082
- Do you mind if I take this here?
- What else do I have to do?

165
00:08:20,250 --> 00:08:22,001
- Hey, Amy.
- Hey, Eric.

166
00:08:22,169 --> 00:08:23,878
- How were the scores?
- Well...

167
00:08:24,045 --> 00:08:26,463
the show tested 87%.

168
00:08:26,631 --> 00:08:29,091
- Excellent or very good.
- 87? That's amazing, right?

169
00:08:29,259 --> 00:08:30,885
It is.
It's not all positive.

170
00:08:31,052 --> 00:08:33,762
- What do you mean?
- Charlie didn't score as well.

171
00:08:33,930 --> 00:08:36,765
- What did he score?
- 59.

172
00:08:36,933 --> 00:08:38,392
59? Jesus, what does
that mean?

173
00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:40,269
It means we're gonna
replace him.

174
00:08:42,230 --> 00:08:44,315
What's this sudden
panic, Turtle?

175
00:08:44,482 --> 00:08:46,567
- I don't want you to miss out on this.
- I don't either.

176
00:08:46,735 --> 00:08:49,987
Every time I get in a cab with some
smelly guy wiping snot on his sleeve

177
00:08:50,155 --> 00:08:53,115
I dream of a world where this
hot broad picks me up in a limo.

178
00:08:53,283 --> 00:08:55,034
Lim-hos is
a home run, Turtle.

179
00:08:55,202 --> 00:08:57,578
But if you want the money from me,
you're gonna have to wait.

180
00:08:57,746 --> 00:09:00,289
I can't wait anymore. You got
to understand, I need a partner now.

181
00:09:00,457 --> 00:09:02,625
I understand.
Just go ask Vince.

182
00:09:02,792 --> 00:09:05,002
- He's given me enough.
- Yeah, I hear ya.

183
00:09:05,170 --> 00:09:07,963
Oh well.
Sorry, brother.

184
00:09:08,131 --> 00:09:10,966
Yeah, me too.
I'll talk to you later, Ronnie.

185
00:09:13,803 --> 00:09:16,972
- Yo, Turtle.
- Yo, Curtis. What's up?

186
00:09:17,140 --> 00:09:20,517
What's up, man? I see you out
here in your daddy's car.

187
00:09:21,853 --> 00:09:24,480
Don't be somber.
At least you look good.

188
00:09:24,648 --> 00:09:26,482
(laughs)

189
00:09:31,154 --> 00:09:32,821
Eric:
This is bullshit.

190
00:09:32,989 --> 00:09:35,157
First they bring in some hack
to rewrite his script,

191
00:09:35,325 --> 00:09:37,284
now they're gonna replace him
as an actor on his own show?

192
00:09:37,452 --> 00:09:39,828
- Happens all the time.
- Yeah, well, it's not right.

193
00:09:39,996 --> 00:09:41,872
The world is a cold
and heartless place.

194
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,457
What am I supposed
to do, Ari?

195
00:09:43,625 --> 00:09:45,584
E, it's real simple.
You stay on as producer

196
00:09:45,752 --> 00:09:48,212
or you walk out of pride.
Either way Charlie's going.

197
00:09:48,380 --> 00:09:50,506
- This is unbelievable.
- Take heart.

198
00:09:50,674 --> 00:09:53,175
You produce 100 episodes
of even mediocre television

199
00:09:53,343 --> 00:09:55,552
and you can send the kid
a Gulfstream to cry on.

200
00:10:01,977 --> 00:10:04,270
- Oh!
- What the fuck?

201
00:10:04,437 --> 00:10:06,230
I'm trying to snap you
out of your funk.

202
00:10:06,398 --> 00:10:08,816
- I'm not in a funk.
- You are a little off though, Turtle.

203
00:10:08,984 --> 00:10:10,359
It's birthday blues, I guess.

204
00:10:10,527 --> 00:10:13,570
You got a hot car
and a hot girlfriend coming over.

205
00:10:13,738 --> 00:10:16,282
- What do you have to be blue about?
- It's my birthday.

206
00:10:16,449 --> 00:10:18,033
- I can be whatever color I want.
- (phone rings)

207
00:10:18,201 --> 00:10:20,119
- Yello?
- Hey, Vince.

208
00:10:20,287 --> 00:10:22,871
- Yo, what's up, Charlie?
- E's not there, is he?

209
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:25,040
- No he's not. Everything okay?
- I don't know.

210
00:10:25,208 --> 00:10:27,501
I haven't heard anything from him.
I think he's avoiding me.

211
00:10:27,669 --> 00:10:29,878
- I'm freaking out over here.
- He's not avoiding you, Charlie.

212
00:10:30,046 --> 00:10:31,547
- All right, then where is he?
- I don't know.

213
00:10:31,715 --> 00:10:33,674
But if I hear from him
I'll have him hit you back.

214
00:10:33,842 --> 00:10:35,884
- All right, man. Thanks.
- Cool. Bye.

215
00:10:36,052 --> 00:10:38,721
- What's up?
- E's M.I.A.

216
00:10:38,888 --> 00:10:42,349
Maybe he's just so small
that nobody can find him.

217
00:10:42,517 --> 00:10:45,894
Wow. Even when he's not here
to defend himself.

218
00:10:46,062 --> 00:10:48,063
I can't help it, bro.
I'm sorry.

219
00:10:48,231 --> 00:10:51,483
- (car horn honks)
- That's probably Jamie.

220
00:10:53,903 --> 00:10:56,363
Oh-ho-ho!

221
00:10:56,531 --> 00:10:58,574
Turtle: Oh, you've got
to be kidding me.

222
00:10:58,742 --> 00:11:01,452
- Both: What?
- Nothing. Stay here.

223
00:11:04,247 --> 00:11:07,082
- Happy birthday.
- What did you do?

224
00:11:07,250 --> 00:11:09,293
Drama: Damn, Turtle,
you're cleaning up.

225
00:11:09,461 --> 00:11:11,920
- You don't like it?
- (laughing)

226
00:11:12,088 --> 00:11:14,298
What's so funny?

227
00:11:14,466 --> 00:11:17,092
- We should have coagulated.
- What do you mean?

228
00:11:17,260 --> 00:11:18,886
That's my gift.

229
00:11:20,597 --> 00:11:22,264
- Oh no.
- Yup.

230
00:11:22,432 --> 00:11:23,932
Drama:
Unbelievable.

231
00:11:24,100 --> 00:11:25,934
Jamie:
Well, you deserve everything.

232
00:11:27,270 --> 00:11:28,937
Why do you guys think
I'm such a loser?

233
00:11:29,105 --> 00:11:31,023
Loser? What are you
talking about?

234
00:11:31,191 --> 00:11:32,608
I knew you
didn't have a car.

235
00:11:32,776 --> 00:11:34,485
- I can buy my own car.
- How?

236
00:11:38,239 --> 00:11:40,449
But I thought
you'd really like it.

237
00:11:40,617 --> 00:11:42,284
I do like it.
Of course I like it.

238
00:11:42,452 --> 00:11:44,453
Then enjoy it.

239
00:11:44,621 --> 00:11:46,455
Come on, you want
to take me for a spin?

240
00:11:46,623 --> 00:11:49,958
Yeah. There's something
I got to do real quick.

241
00:11:50,126 --> 00:11:51,835
Can I drop you at home
and then see you at dinner?

242
00:11:52,003 --> 00:11:53,670
- Yeah, sure.
- Okay.

243
00:11:55,799 --> 00:11:58,133
Enjoy your new car.

244
00:11:59,886 --> 00:12:02,471
Yo, E, it's Vince.
I haven't heard from you all day

245
00:12:02,639 --> 00:12:04,681
and Charlie called.
Where you at? Call me.

246
00:12:04,849 --> 00:12:06,308
No answer.

247
00:12:06,851 --> 00:12:09,103
(phone ringing)

248
00:12:09,270 --> 00:12:11,688
Oh, Jeez.

249
00:12:11,856 --> 00:12:14,149
(sighs)

250
00:12:14,317 --> 00:12:17,986
Renoir, man.
Today is your lucky day.

251
00:12:18,154 --> 00:12:20,322
I'm parting with one
of my favorite decks.

252
00:12:20,490 --> 00:12:23,325
- Giving Grassers first shot at it.
- Let me check it out.

253
00:12:23,493 --> 00:12:25,577
Hello?
Eric.

254
00:12:25,745 --> 00:12:27,663
You scared the shit
out of me.

255
00:12:27,831 --> 00:12:29,623
Me too. What are you
still doing here?

256
00:12:29,791 --> 00:12:32,918
Oh, I'm sorry. Your bed was just
so comfortable I didn't want to leave.

257
00:12:33,086 --> 00:12:34,711
Oh, it's 3:00.

258
00:12:34,879 --> 00:12:36,964
I didn't know you had
a check-out time.

259
00:12:37,132 --> 00:12:38,715
- No, I don't. I just...
- I can go.

260
00:12:38,883 --> 00:12:40,592
No, it's okay. I'm just gonna
watch the pilot again.

261
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,719
Oh, did you get any word
on the screening?

262
00:12:42,887 --> 00:12:45,514
Yeah, they hated him
just like you did.

263
00:12:45,682 --> 00:12:48,016
Oh, God, I'm so sorry.
I feel bad.

264
00:12:48,184 --> 00:12:50,519
I shouldn't have put that
out there in the universe.

265
00:12:50,687 --> 00:12:53,397
Well, I don't think that's why
they hated him, but thanks.

266
00:12:53,565 --> 00:12:55,691
Okay, well, why do you
think they hated him?

267
00:12:55,859 --> 00:12:57,985
I don't know. That's what
I'm gonna try to figure out.

268
00:12:58,153 --> 00:13:00,362
- Well, do you want a second eye?
- Sure.

269
00:13:09,122 --> 00:13:11,457
- Ashley.
- Hmm?

270
00:13:13,376 --> 00:13:15,586
(laughs)
I'm sorry.

271
00:13:15,753 --> 00:13:18,338
- I'll go put pants on.
- Thank you.

272
00:13:21,759 --> 00:13:24,636
Or we could watch
it upstairs.

273
00:13:24,804 --> 00:13:27,681
- I'll cover up.
- I can't focus.

274
00:13:27,849 --> 00:13:31,143
So just don't
let me distract you.

275
00:13:33,897 --> 00:13:36,231
We get that, all right?
Give it to them.

276
00:13:36,399 --> 00:13:39,610
But at the same time,
we've got to give them...

277
00:13:39,777 --> 00:13:41,778
excuse me, everybody.
I'll be right back.

278
00:13:45,450 --> 00:13:47,784
Turtle, what's up?
Everything okay with Vince?

279
00:13:47,952 --> 00:13:50,120
- Oh yeah, Vince is fine.
- Oh, thank God.

280
00:13:50,288 --> 00:13:52,748
I thought you were gonna tell me you
ran over him with the Ferrari.

281
00:13:52,916 --> 00:13:54,666
- No.
- Then what are you doing here?

282
00:13:54,834 --> 00:13:56,919
I was wondering if I could
talk to you for a minute.

283
00:13:57,086 --> 00:13:59,588
- Talk to me about what?
- Career advice.

284
00:13:59,756 --> 00:14:01,298
- For who?
- For me.

285
00:14:01,466 --> 00:14:03,926
- But you don't have a career.
- Five minutes.

286
00:14:04,093 --> 00:14:06,136
- I'm in a meeting.
- Come on, Ari.

287
00:14:06,304 --> 00:14:07,804
It's my birthday.

288
00:14:07,972 --> 00:14:10,265
Five minutes.

289
00:14:10,433 --> 00:14:13,227
Lloyd, tell them
I'll be right back.

290
00:14:13,394 --> 00:14:16,146
- What's up, Lloyd?
- Hello, Mr... Turtle.

291
00:14:16,314 --> 00:14:18,524
What's up?

292
00:14:18,691 --> 00:14:21,109
I'm looking for funding
for a business idea that I have.

293
00:14:21,277 --> 00:14:22,778
- Did you go to a bank?
- Yeah.

294
00:14:22,946 --> 00:14:24,655
They laughed in my face
'cause I have no collateral.

295
00:14:24,822 --> 00:14:26,031
Did you tell them about
your hat collection?

296
00:14:26,199 --> 00:14:27,866
- Come on, Ari.
- You live with a guy

297
00:14:28,034 --> 00:14:29,618
who just gave you
a quarter-of-a-million-dollar car.

298
00:14:29,786 --> 00:14:32,162
- You need money, go to him.
- I'm trying to do this on my own.

299
00:14:32,330 --> 00:14:34,915
Coming here asking me for money
is not doing it on your own.

300
00:14:35,083 --> 00:14:37,000
No no no, I'm not asking you
for money. I'm asking you

301
00:14:37,168 --> 00:14:39,294
to put me in touch with people
who invest in businesses

302
00:14:39,462 --> 00:14:41,171
and I know you know
those kinds of people.

303
00:14:41,339 --> 00:14:43,799
You've stuck with Vince
through all the rough times.

304
00:14:43,967 --> 00:14:47,219
Now he's on easy street and you want
to branch out on your own?

305
00:14:47,387 --> 00:14:49,638
- You two have a fight?
- No.

306
00:14:49,806 --> 00:14:53,183
I just think it's time for me
to make something of myself.

307
00:14:53,351 --> 00:14:55,477
Turtle, do you know
what it takes

308
00:14:55,645 --> 00:14:57,145
to make something
of yourself?

309
00:14:57,313 --> 00:14:59,856
I mean, come on.
I worked a job

310
00:15:00,024 --> 00:15:02,693
through college and grad school.
Lloyd!

311
00:15:03,861 --> 00:15:05,487
- Yes, Mr. Gold?
- Hit the stack.

312
00:15:05,655 --> 00:15:07,656
In front of people?
I'm not performing.

313
00:15:07,824 --> 00:15:09,449
- "The Kingdom of Foibles."
- "The Kingdom of Foibles"

314
00:15:09,617 --> 00:15:11,243
written by Karen Brown.

315
00:15:11,411 --> 00:15:14,162
"A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's
Court" meets "Die Hard."

316
00:15:14,330 --> 00:15:16,456
A man awakes
in the midst of...

317
00:15:16,624 --> 00:15:18,458
This man can quote
from the entire stack.

318
00:15:18,626 --> 00:15:21,295
That is what he's willing
to put in for his own success.

319
00:15:21,462 --> 00:15:23,880
He's paying his dues.
When have you paid yours?

320
00:15:24,048 --> 00:15:26,508
I'm willing to pay them now.
And I have a great idea.

321
00:15:26,676 --> 00:15:29,511
So do all these idiots.
Can you execute it?

322
00:15:29,679 --> 00:15:31,138
I think I can.

323
00:15:31,306 --> 00:15:34,600
In this life,
no one is going to invest

324
00:15:34,767 --> 00:15:36,518
because you think
you can.

325
00:15:36,686 --> 00:15:38,228
Do you have
a business plan?

326
00:15:38,396 --> 00:15:40,063
No. I mean,
I haven't sat down and put...

327
00:15:40,231 --> 00:15:43,567
What do you need? Office space,
insurance? How many employees?

328
00:15:43,735 --> 00:15:46,403
What do you project to earn?
What do you need to break even?

329
00:15:46,571 --> 00:15:48,905
At what point
can your investors

330
00:15:49,073 --> 00:15:51,325
- see some profit?
- I don't know!

331
00:15:52,702 --> 00:15:54,828
I don't know.

332
00:15:54,996 --> 00:15:57,372
Look...

333
00:15:57,540 --> 00:15:59,750
when my son was born,

334
00:15:59,917 --> 00:16:02,544
my greatest fear was having
this conversation.

335
00:16:02,712 --> 00:16:06,048
I knew that I would give
him anything he wanted

336
00:16:06,215 --> 00:16:08,759
because he was my son
and I couldn't say no.

337
00:16:08,926 --> 00:16:10,844
Which sucks, 'cause it
wouldn't help him

338
00:16:11,012 --> 00:16:13,597
and he'd just end up on the street
doing heroin with the two Coreys

339
00:16:13,765 --> 00:16:16,224
because I was too much
of a pussy to teach him a lesson.

340
00:16:16,392 --> 00:16:19,227
I won't make that mistake with you.
Just say no.

341
00:16:20,605 --> 00:16:22,272
I can pull this off, Ari.

342
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,900
Come back to me
when you can prove it.

343
00:16:27,654 --> 00:16:30,197
(bird squawking)

344
00:16:30,365 --> 00:16:32,866
Um, no, ma'am.
I don't think that's the case.

345
00:16:33,034 --> 00:16:34,910
Why?

346
00:16:35,078 --> 00:16:38,580
Well, because skateboards
don't get flat tires.

347
00:16:38,748 --> 00:16:39,915
(laughs)

348
00:16:40,083 --> 00:16:42,542
No, I'm not calling
your son a liar whatsoever.

349
00:16:42,710 --> 00:16:44,753
Hold on.
Can you quiet that damn bird?

350
00:16:44,921 --> 00:16:46,213
What, you don't
like birds?

351
00:16:46,381 --> 00:16:48,465
No, I just don't like
anything that talks that much.

352
00:16:48,633 --> 00:16:50,425
(laughs)

353
00:16:50,593 --> 00:16:53,762
Hello? No, Mrs. Henderson,
I wasn't talking to you.

354
00:16:53,930 --> 00:16:55,889
What?

355
00:16:56,057 --> 00:16:58,266
Why does he have to keep
yelling at the bird?

356
00:16:58,434 --> 00:17:00,352
Because it's funny.

357
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,105
- Not to me it isn't.
- You think that's one of the reasons

358
00:17:03,272 --> 00:17:05,607
people don't like him,
'cause he yelled at the bird?

359
00:17:05,775 --> 00:17:07,609
It's one of the reasons
I don't like him.

360
00:17:07,777 --> 00:17:09,778
But I'm a big
animal lover, so...

361
00:17:09,946 --> 00:17:11,446
What are some of
the other reasons?

362
00:17:11,614 --> 00:17:13,323
I don't know.

363
00:17:13,491 --> 00:17:15,075
You don't know?

364
00:17:15,243 --> 00:17:16,952
I don't want to say it.

365
00:17:17,120 --> 00:17:19,579
You're gonna hold back now?
You already told me you hate him.

366
00:17:19,747 --> 00:17:21,164
So what specifically
about him do you hate?

367
00:17:21,332 --> 00:17:24,000
- I think he sucks.
- You think he sucks?

368
00:17:24,168 --> 00:17:27,879
Yes, and you have to think
he sucks also, Eric.

369
00:17:28,047 --> 00:17:30,549
Because he
really does suck.

370
00:17:30,717 --> 00:17:33,135
I mean, he seems nervous
and uncomfortable.

371
00:17:33,302 --> 00:17:37,347
It makes me nervous and uncomfortable
just to watch him.

372
00:17:37,515 --> 00:17:41,184
- Are you mad?
- No. I'm not mad.

373
00:17:41,352 --> 00:17:43,353
I guess that's probably why
I didn't fight more

374
00:17:43,521 --> 00:17:45,480
when they said they wanted
to replace him.

375
00:17:45,648 --> 00:17:48,150
- So he sucks.
- Yeah, okay, he sucks.

376
00:17:48,317 --> 00:17:51,653
- Well, doesn't that feel better?
- No.

377
00:17:51,821 --> 00:17:53,655
It doesn't.
I found him.

378
00:17:53,823 --> 00:17:55,699
I sold this show...
his show.

379
00:17:55,867 --> 00:17:58,660
He put a year of work into it
and I can't do anything to help him.

380
00:17:58,828 --> 00:18:01,663
But you can try. You're very persuasive
when you want to be.

381
00:18:01,831 --> 00:18:04,166
- You think?
- I wanted to go home

382
00:18:04,333 --> 00:18:06,543
- with Drama the night we met.
- (chuckles)

383
00:18:07,837 --> 00:18:11,339
What am I supposed to do?
Tell him I think he's great?

384
00:18:11,507 --> 00:18:14,342
You're in sales...
that's what you do.

385
00:18:17,180 --> 00:18:19,139
Wow, it's been a whole 10 minutes
since I've been called

386
00:18:19,307 --> 00:18:21,141
by one of the Jonas Brothers.
What's up, E?

387
00:18:21,309 --> 00:18:22,851
When you told me to get
rid of Charlie,

388
00:18:23,019 --> 00:18:25,395
was that your honest answer
or were you just looking out for Vince?

389
00:18:25,563 --> 00:18:27,856
Vince is my client who is
producing the show with you.

390
00:18:28,024 --> 00:18:30,525
- So of course I'm looking out for him.
- Oh, come on, Ari.

391
00:18:30,693 --> 00:18:33,987
Vince doesn't care about the show, you
know that. He's a producer in name only.

392
00:18:34,155 --> 00:18:36,281
But Charlie is my client
who I do care about.

393
00:18:36,449 --> 00:18:39,242
So if you pretended to care about him
and you were me, what would you do?

394
00:18:39,410 --> 00:18:41,912
- What's the difference?
- I'd like to try to do something.

395
00:18:42,079 --> 00:18:45,040
What I'm capable of doing
and what you're capable of doing

396
00:18:45,208 --> 00:18:46,875
are two totally
different things.

397
00:18:47,043 --> 00:18:49,085
- What would you do?
- I would make a scene

398
00:18:49,253 --> 00:18:54,049
of biblical proportions. I would lie,
scream, beg, borrow and steal.

399
00:18:54,217 --> 00:18:56,384
And if that somehow
didn't part Amy Miller's legs,

400
00:18:56,552 --> 00:19:00,222
then I would call racism.
And I would yell for all to hear,

401
00:19:00,389 --> 00:19:04,559
"You're really gonna fire my poor black
client off the show he created?!

402
00:19:04,727 --> 00:19:07,771
I'm calling NAACP,
the Reverend Al Sharpton

403
00:19:07,939 --> 00:19:10,065
and the ghost
of my man Malcolm X."

404
00:19:10,233 --> 00:19:12,192
Awesome.

405
00:19:12,360 --> 00:19:14,236
I guess
I'll try my own thing.

406
00:19:15,488 --> 00:19:17,280
Good luck.

407
00:19:17,448 --> 00:19:19,699
(techno music playing)

408
00:19:29,919 --> 00:19:32,379
- Is she in?
- Yes, let me tell her you're here.

409
00:19:32,547 --> 00:19:34,089
- I'll tell her.
- Mr. Murphy...

410
00:19:34,257 --> 00:19:37,092
I just want you to know that what
you guys are doing is disgusting.

411
00:19:37,260 --> 00:19:40,303
Charlie busted his ass for you and you
guys are gonna toss him because, what?

412
00:19:40,471 --> 00:19:43,139
40 idiots from Modesto
who had nothing better to do today

413
00:19:43,307 --> 00:19:45,600
than to watch a pilot
in order to get a free lunch

414
00:19:45,768 --> 00:19:48,144
claim they didn't like him?
I liked him!

415
00:19:48,312 --> 00:19:51,231
That's why I signed him. And you
liked him, that's why you cast him.

416
00:19:51,399 --> 00:19:53,358
You were right.
Don't doubt yourself now.

417
00:19:53,526 --> 00:19:56,736
Charlie Williams is this
network's next superstar.

418
00:19:56,904 --> 00:19:59,531
- Do you really believe that?
- Yeah.

419
00:19:59,699 --> 00:20:00,991
I do.

420
00:20:01,158 --> 00:20:05,120
Okay.
Well, I'm sorry. We don't.

421
00:20:05,288 --> 00:20:07,956
There is no way that Charlie Williams
is going to be acting in this show.

422
00:20:08,124 --> 00:20:09,332
(sighs)

423
00:20:09,500 --> 00:20:11,459
Well, then maybe
you're a racist.

424
00:20:15,673 --> 00:20:17,591
(laughs)

425
00:20:17,758 --> 00:20:20,760
I can't believe
you actually said that.

426
00:20:20,928 --> 00:20:24,014
Yeah, me either. You should have seen
the look on Amy Miller's face.

427
00:20:24,181 --> 00:20:26,975
(laughs)
I can only imagine.

428
00:20:27,143 --> 00:20:30,353
- Now I've gotta go see Charlie's face.
- I had to fire my brother once.

429
00:20:30,521 --> 00:20:32,814
- Really?
- From a paper route. It was rough.

430
00:20:32,982 --> 00:20:36,192
- My parents wouldn't talk to me for a week.
- That's a good story, Ari.

431
00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:37,360
- E.
- Yeah?

432
00:20:37,528 --> 00:20:39,988
- At least you went for it.
- So what?

433
00:20:40,156 --> 00:20:43,283
- Where did it get me?
- Some much needed lying experience.

434
00:20:43,451 --> 00:20:47,996
- So?
- Next time you'll come up with a better lie.

435
00:20:48,164 --> 00:20:49,789
You're the one
that told me to say that.

436
00:20:49,957 --> 00:20:52,459
Yeah, but I can't believe
you actually did.

437
00:20:52,627 --> 00:20:54,628
- Me either.
- Listen, E,

438
00:20:54,795 --> 00:20:57,964
- I'm proud of you.
- Thanks, Ari.

439
00:20:58,132 --> 00:21:00,050
- Later.
- Later.

440
00:21:01,719 --> 00:21:04,179
Are you trying to teach
someone how to lie?

441
00:21:04,347 --> 00:21:06,014
What?
No!

442
00:21:06,182 --> 00:21:08,683
And how could you fire
Uncle Howard?

443
00:21:10,061 --> 00:21:12,228
Turtle: You're really
not going to get me a gift?

444
00:21:12,396 --> 00:21:14,064
No, I'm really not.

445
00:21:14,231 --> 00:21:16,232
Because grown men shouldn't buy
other grown men birthday gifts

446
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,360
- unless they're fucking.
- (laughter)

447
00:21:18,527 --> 00:21:20,570
- No offense, bro.
- No offense taken, Johnny.

448
00:21:20,738 --> 00:21:22,572
But come on!
It's the kid's 30th birthday.

449
00:21:22,740 --> 00:21:25,200
E got him something.
You gotta get him something.

450
00:21:25,368 --> 00:21:27,202
With the mood he was in all day?
No way.

451
00:21:27,370 --> 00:21:29,245
- He's not in a mood anymore.
- Huh-uh.

452
00:21:29,413 --> 00:21:31,498
- Why not? What happened?
- Tell them.

453
00:21:31,666 --> 00:21:34,709
I was gonna wait till we sat down,
until E comes.

454
00:21:34,877 --> 00:21:37,087
No one knows where E is.
Come on, speak up.

455
00:21:38,714 --> 00:21:40,256
I'm going back to school.

456
00:21:40,424 --> 00:21:41,591
(unison)
What?

457
00:21:41,759 --> 00:21:43,218
- Yep.
- Get out of here. Really?

458
00:21:43,386 --> 00:21:46,262
It was my idea... so he can learn how
to really run a business.

459
00:21:46,430 --> 00:21:49,391
- Wow, impressive!
- Really impressive.

460
00:21:49,558 --> 00:21:51,935
- Thanks.
- You know what? Stevie?

461
00:21:52,103 --> 00:21:54,562
Get us the best bottle
of wine in the house.

462
00:21:54,730 --> 00:21:56,564
- You got it, Vince.
- Jamie: Very nice.

463
00:21:56,732 --> 00:21:59,067
You know, I saw on CNN
that sending a child to school

464
00:21:59,235 --> 00:22:01,361
should run
around $200,000.

465
00:22:01,529 --> 00:22:03,613
This is a birthday gift
I'd be proud to give.

466
00:22:03,781 --> 00:22:06,825
- I got you covered.
- Jesus, Johnny!

467
00:22:06,993 --> 00:22:10,203
That' great, Drama,
but this is UCLA Extension...

468
00:22:10,371 --> 00:22:13,123
Business Management
courses... $1292.

469
00:22:13,290 --> 00:22:15,917
- Oh. It's the thought that counts.
- Yeah.

470
00:22:16,085 --> 00:22:19,087
Johnny, did you
know that?

471
00:22:19,255 --> 00:22:21,589
- I did.
- Oh my God.

472
00:22:21,757 --> 00:22:24,092
Of course he did.
I should've let him write the check.

473
00:22:24,260 --> 00:22:26,886
- Seriously.
- Vince, are you guys ready to sit?

474
00:22:27,054 --> 00:22:28,388
Yes, we are.

475
00:22:28,556 --> 00:22:31,266
- Oh, look at here.
- Vince: Where the hell have you been?

476
00:22:31,434 --> 00:22:33,393
They fired Charlie
off the pilot today.

477
00:22:33,561 --> 00:22:35,437
- Ow.
- Oh man, that's awful.

478
00:22:35,604 --> 00:22:37,313
I had to tell him.
That was really awful.

479
00:22:37,481 --> 00:22:40,316
Oh, that poor bastard. I cried
every time I got fired from a pilot.

480
00:22:40,484 --> 00:22:43,653
And we're off the show too, Vince.
I can't do this without Charlie.

481
00:22:43,821 --> 00:22:46,239
- No, of course not.
- You're not mad?

482
00:22:46,407 --> 00:22:48,700
Mad? No, I just feel
sorry for Charlie.

483
00:22:48,868 --> 00:22:51,619
- I mean, you and me, we're okay.
- Yeah.

484
00:22:51,787 --> 00:22:54,122
- No?
- Yeah.

485
00:22:54,290 --> 00:22:57,417
- Yo, we'll meet you guys over in a sec.
- Yeah.

486
00:23:01,464 --> 00:23:03,465
- What up?
- I would have liked this for me too.

487
00:23:03,632 --> 00:23:06,009
You know, prove I could pull
my own weight on this deal.

488
00:23:06,177 --> 00:23:08,803
You have pulled your own weight.
That's why I am where I am.

489
00:23:08,971 --> 00:23:10,972
The team is all good,
so what's really going on?

490
00:23:11,140 --> 00:23:12,515
- What do you mean?
- Is it about Sloan?

491
00:23:12,683 --> 00:23:14,225
- What?
- Want to prove you can get out

492
00:23:14,393 --> 00:23:16,811
from under
the Vincent Chase shadow?

493
00:23:16,979 --> 00:23:18,813
Hey, look,
I'll support you all I can,

494
00:23:18,981 --> 00:23:21,399
but I can't help it if the shadow
just keeps growing larger.

495
00:23:21,567 --> 00:23:24,486
It's actually not about Sloan.
I like Ashley.

496
00:23:24,653 --> 00:23:27,781
- Really? You hated her this morning.
- Yeah, well, things changed.

497
00:23:27,948 --> 00:23:29,574
Everywhere it seems.

498
00:23:29,742 --> 00:23:31,534
- Turtle's going to school.
- Really?

499
00:23:31,702 --> 00:23:34,329
Everybody wants to be
their own man, I guess.

500
00:23:34,497 --> 00:23:36,915
But don't worry, E, it's all good.
I'm gonna let you buy dinner.

501
00:23:37,083 --> 00:23:38,833
- Oh, thanks.
- Drama: Hey, E!

502
00:23:39,001 --> 00:23:42,629
- This wine is insane.
- It should be. It is not cheap.

503
00:23:42,797 --> 00:23:44,631
- Two more bottles, please.
- Really?

504
00:23:44,799 --> 00:23:47,217
- Yeah, E's buying dinner.
- Big spender!

505
00:23:47,384 --> 00:23:49,135
Happy birthday, Turtle.
Here we go.

506
00:23:49,303 --> 00:23:51,346
Thank you, guys,
thank you.

507
00:23:52,807 --> 00:23:54,015
(pop music playing)

508
00:24:57,079 --> 00:24:58,580
(music fades)
