- You good?
- Am I good? I am great!
177
00:08:01,605 --> 00:08:05,474
I am great. I'm good.
I slept well and, uh...
178
00:08:05,475 --> 00:08:08,311
Yeah, you know your thing
about us? Uh... (SIGHS)
179
00:08:08,312 --> 00:08:10,680
I think I've contextualized it...
180
00:08:10,681 --> 00:08:12,949
- It's not really a thing.
- No, no, no, sure.
181
00:08:12,950 --> 00:08:15,618
I just feel like, "Okay, you know,
182
00:08:15,619 --> 00:08:18,021
if I'm the king and you're the queen,
183
00:08:18,022 --> 00:08:20,556
maybe it's fine to...
184
00:08:20,557 --> 00:08:21,858
fuck the odd peasant."
185
00:08:21,859 --> 00:08:23,326
- Right. Yeah.
- Because... Because...
186
00:08:23,327 --> 00:08:26,329
Big picture: our plan is right on track.
187
00:08:26,330 --> 00:08:27,963
- You know?
- SHIV: Uh-huh.
188
00:08:27,964 --> 00:08:30,533
And you've... you've
seen Gil's numbers, right?
189
00:08:30,534 --> 00:08:33,469
And... And as of today,
I'm right in at ATN.
190
00:08:33,470 --> 00:08:34,869
You know, belly of the beast.
191
00:08:35,606 --> 00:08:36,606
So...
192
00:08:39,175 --> 00:08:40,543
- Hey.
- Yeah?
193
00:08:40,544 --> 00:08:42,678
You wanna bang? Right now?
194
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,079
Cheeky little breakfast bang.
195
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,615
- Oh... I'm...
- Wanna?
196
00:08:45,616 --> 00:08:48,684
I'm just such in a
different mental place...
197
00:08:48,685 --> 00:08:50,219
- Okay.
- ...than you right now.
198
00:08:50,220 --> 00:08:51,654
- (CHUCKLES)
- No, sure.
199
00:08:51,655 --> 00:08:54,156
I just feel so incredibly potent.
200
00:08:54,157 --> 00:08:55,691
- Mm.
- You know?
201
00:08:55,692 --> 00:08:57,226
I think it's the new place.
202
00:08:57,227 --> 00:08:58,660
- Yeah.
- You know?
203
00:08:58,661 --> 00:09:01,163
- I feel God-like and horny.
- SHIV: Oof!
204
00:09:01,164 --> 00:09:03,165
Everybody looks, like,
two feet tall to me.

SHIV: Well, you know what? Maybe...
207
00:09:06,702 --> 00:09:08,637
Maybe we should split
from the thing early
208
00:09:08,638 --> 00:09:11,305
tonight and, you know, we can...
209
00:09:12,475 --> 00:09:14,509
- talk, and...
- TOM: Mm-hmm.
210
00:09:14,510 --> 00:09:15,944
- ...everything.
- TOM: Okay!
211
00:09:15,945 --> 00:09:18,147
Okay! My fave. Strategy and a fuck.

Hey, Lawrence.

to get your insights,

00:10:20,942 --> 00:10:23,042

Who's in charge here?

My brother and I have
a joint responsibility.
248
00:10:30,251 --> 00:10:31,576
You know, we're sharing duties,
249
00:10:31,577 --> 00:10:34,803
but we're on the same page
operationally. Right, Rome?
250
00:10:34,804 --> 00:10:37,062
I don't know what the
fuck he's talking about.

Yes, precisely. See,

We're just here for a
routine health check.

00:10:56,243 --> 00:10:57,343
That's all this is.
260
00:10:57,344 --> 00:10:58,502
Where's this coming from?
261
00:10:58,503 --> 00:11:00,261
- It's coming from us.
- ROMAN: It's coming from Dad.
262
00:11:00,262 --> 00:11:01,819
No. What, why are we
dancing around this?
263
00:11:01,820 --> 00:11:03,620
It's coming from Dad.
Dad's worried about you.
264
00:11:03,952 --> 00:11:05,110
Okay.
265
00:11:05,111 --> 00:11:06,668
ROMAN: I mean, come
on, you know how he is.
266
00:11:06,669 --> 00:11:08,824
He doesn't get it. He still has
a plant out in the Philippines
267
00:11:08,825 --> 00:11:10,757
manufacturing Xerox machines.
268
00:11:10,758 --> 00:11:12,591
But he's fucking shrewd.
269
00:11:12,592 --> 00:11:14,793
And, right now...
270
00:11:14,794 --> 00:11:17,161
right now, his giant cyclops eye
271
00:11:17,162 --> 00:11:19,631
is looking in this direction,
and he's feeling like
272
00:11:19,632 --> 00:11:22,300
maybe he bought a
giant pile of bullshit.
273
00:11:22,301 --> 00:11:23,735
So now here I am
274
00:11:23,736 --> 00:11:26,371
to enquire in the
politest terms possible
275
00:11:26,372 --> 00:11:28,407
what the fuck is going on.
276
00:11:28,408 --> 00:11:30,275
Dad thinks maybe you fucked him.
277
00:11:30,276 --> 00:11:33,512
Our numbers were solid
when you bought us,
278
00:11:33,513 --> 00:11:34,746
and they're solid now.
279
00:11:34,747 --> 00:11:36,381
ROMAN: Dude, really,
don't take it personally.
280
00:11:36,382 --> 00:11:37,729
Dad thinks everyone's fucking him.
281
00:11:37,730 --> 00:11:39,284
KENDALL: I know you're on the level.
282
00:11:39,285 --> 00:11:40,676
Help me make him see that.
283
00:11:40,677 --> 00:11:41,701
What do you need?
284
00:11:41,702 --> 00:11:44,395
I need metrics, I need KPIs,
285
00:11:44,396 --> 00:11:46,690
and, uh, I need an office.
286
00:11:46,691 --> 00:11:49,159
ROMAN: Me too, I need an office as well.
287
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,194
Separate from his. Nicer.
288
00:11:51,195 --> 00:11:54,031
It's on, me versus the Peach.
289
00:11:54,032 --> 00:11:55,299
Okay, I'm gonna s...
290
00:11:55,300 --> 00:11:57,301
I'm gonna swing the old meat mallet.
291
00:11:57,302 --> 00:11:59,670
I'm gonna sit on her
right out of the box.
292
00:11:59,671 --> 00:12:01,071
Okay, so I could be calling
293
00:12:01,072 --> 00:12:02,873
for a little bit of
the old punch-bagging,
294
00:12:02,874 --> 00:12:03,908
okay, buddy?
295
00:12:03,909 --> 00:12:06,410
- GREG: Uh-huh.
- Ready to play the bag?
296
00:12:06,411 --> 00:12:08,578
- Y... Yeah, yeah. Give it to me.
- Okay.
297
00:12:10,081 --> 00:12:11,081
What?
298
00:12:12,317 --> 00:12:13,483
What is it, Greg?
299
00:12:14,753 --> 00:12:17,421
Being in at ATN, you
know, it's kinda like
300
00:12:17,422 --> 00:12:19,590
the one thing I didn't wanna do.
301
00:12:19,591 --> 00:12:20,991
Oh, okay. So, what...
302
00:12:20,992 --> 00:12:22,559
Should I have left you at Parks to sink?
303
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:23,626
I mean, it's...
304
00:12:23,627 --> 00:12:25,462
it's ATN, man. It's the fuckin' news.
305
00:12:25,463 --> 00:12:27,297
- I know.
- It's Logan's G-spot.
306
00:12:27,298 --> 00:12:28,966
I can finger-bang him all night long.
307
00:12:28,967 --> 00:12:31,301
I'm a direct direct report. What?
308
00:12:31,302 --> 00:12:32,601
Sure, just...
309
00:12:34,405 --> 00:12:35,471
ATN?
310
00:12:36,140 --> 00:12:38,675
It's... It's like...
311
00:12:38,676 --> 00:12:41,511
- kind of against my principles.
- Your principles?
312
00:12:41,512 --> 00:12:44,114
Greg, don't be an asshole.
You don't have principles.
313
00:12:44,115 --> 00:12:46,816
Dude, ATN is a very toxic
element in the culture.
314
00:12:46,817 --> 00:12:50,354
Oh, seriously? Okay, name me
one principle that you have.
315
00:12:50,355 --> 00:12:52,389
I don't know, like, I'm against racism.
316
00:12:52,390 --> 00:12:56,116
Bullshit. I'm against racism.
Everybody's against racism.
317
00:12:56,117 --> 00:12:57,126
What else?
318
00:12:57,127 --> 00:12:59,161
- Like, don't lie.
- Fuck off.
319
00:12:59,162 --> 00:13:00,697
- Like, if you're the news, you...
- Fuck off!
320
00:13:00,698 --> 00:13:02,390
- That's your principle?
- Yeah, dude.
321
00:13:02,391 --> 00:13:05,502
Greg, this is not fucking
Charles Dickens world, okay?
322
00:13:05,503 --> 00:13:08,270
You don't go around
talking about principles.
323
00:13:08,271 --> 00:13:09,906
We're all trying to do the right thing,
324
00:13:09,907 --> 00:13:11,007
of course we are.
325
00:13:11,008 --> 00:13:12,808
But come on, man!
326
00:13:14,244 --> 00:13:15,644
Man the fuck up!
327
00:13:16,780 --> 00:13:19,415
(MUTTERING) Okay, I am manned, man.
328
00:13:19,416 --> 00:13:20,750
Here comes Cyd.
329
00:13:20,751 --> 00:13:22,519
Hey, Cyd! The Peach!
330
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:23,953
The legend!
331
00:13:23,954 --> 00:13:25,212
Oh, Tom!
332
00:13:25,213 --> 00:13:26,222
- Tom!
- Hey!
333
00:13:26,223 --> 00:13:27,857
It's great to have you aboard.
334
00:13:27,858 --> 00:13:29,325
I know that this is gonna be
335
00:13:29,326 --> 00:13:31,760
a really productive collaboration.
336
00:13:31,761 --> 00:13:33,128
I just hope
337
00:13:33,129 --> 00:13:35,764
that there's no... weirdness
338
00:13:35,765 --> 00:13:38,000
with our fuzzy boundaries, right?
339
00:13:38,001 --> 00:13:40,435
Are you kidding? If you...
If you wanna go fast,
340
00:13:40,436 --> 00:13:43,772
go alone. If you wanna
go far, go together.
341
00:13:43,773 --> 00:13:45,182
- Right?
- Exactly.
342
00:13:45,183 --> 00:13:46,222
Yeah.
343
00:13:46,223 --> 00:13:47,848
- Come meet the team.
- Amazing!
344
00:13:47,849 --> 00:13:49,273
You wanna lead in there?
345
00:13:49,274 --> 00:13:51,199
Oh, fuck no.
346
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,092
- You lead, Tommy.
- Okay.
347
00:13:53,093 --> 00:13:54,918
You mind if I big-ball the first one?
348
00:13:54,919 --> 00:13:57,185
Do it! Your funeral, buddy.
349
00:13:57,186 --> 00:13:59,021
- (APPLAUSE)
- SPEAKER: Thank you, thank you.
350
00:13:59,022 --> 00:14:01,557
So did he actually even see my draft?
351
00:14:01,558 --> 00:14:02,615
Uh... no.
352
00:14:02,616 --> 00:14:04,707
In the end, I just thought
the draft Kelly and I did
353
00:14:04,708 --> 00:14:07,067
had more, uh, goodness.
354
00:14:07,068 --> 00:14:08,125
As in...?
355
00:14:08,126 --> 00:14:09,717
As in it had the quality of being good
356
00:14:09,718 --> 00:14:11,332
rather than the
attributes of being shitty.
357
00:14:11,333 --> 00:14:14,302
NATE: Um, just also re
Kelly, little sidebar.
358
00:14:14,303 --> 00:14:16,003
Can you not tell people about us?
359
00:14:16,004 --> 00:14:17,272
Oh, but there is no us.
360
00:14:17,273 --> 00:14:19,307
Right. but there was an
us, and the problem is,
361
00:14:19,308 --> 00:14:20,575
my wife doesn't know about it.
362
00:14:20,576 --> 00:14:22,777
Oh, but my husband
absolutely does know about it,
363
00:14:22,778 --> 00:14:25,213
so I guess that's,
what, it's your problem?
364
00:14:25,214 --> 00:14:26,514
We had the affair.
365
00:14:26,515 --> 00:14:27,915
We didn't have the conversation
366
00:14:27,916 --> 00:14:29,551
about telling people we had the affair.
367
00:14:29,552 --> 00:14:31,286
I'm sorry, Nate, did you
want a conference call
368
00:14:31,287 --> 00:14:33,587
to discuss how to tell
your wife we fucked?
369
00:14:35,491 --> 00:14:37,091
- (APPLAUSE)
- GIL EAVIS: Thank you, everyone.
370
00:14:37,092 --> 00:14:39,359
Great event. Great event.
371
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,028
Thank you, everyone, so much.
372
00:14:42,029 --> 00:14:43,197
And the polling!
373
00:14:43,198 --> 00:14:45,865
My God! I mean, nobody's
getting carried away,
374
00:14:45,866 --> 00:14:47,634
just one set of numbers,
375
00:14:47,635 --> 00:14:50,770
one pretty big set of
numbers. (CHUCKLES) Right?
376
00:14:50,771 --> 00:14:55,375
Right, so thank you. And
testament to your faith.
377
00:14:55,376 --> 00:14:56,743
Thank you. Please,
378
00:14:56,744 --> 00:14:59,012
indulge yourselves in some, uh,
379
00:14:59,013 --> 00:15:01,281
gluten and melted cheese. Why not?
380
00:15:01,282 --> 00:15:02,916
- (LAUGHTER)
- Thank you, thank you.
381
00:15:02,917 --> 00:15:04,651
- (APPLAUSE)
- GIL: Mm.
382
00:15:04,652 --> 00:15:06,253
Hey, uh, how was the call?
383
00:15:06,254 --> 00:15:09,188
Great. They're eating
out of my ass crack.
384
00:15:09,189 --> 00:15:12,325
Offered me use of the
fucking jet on the weekend.
385
00:15:12,326 --> 00:15:14,227
Uh, yeah, I mean, the legals are wonky
386
00:15:14,228 --> 00:15:16,996
and the optics are shitty,
but (CHUCKLES) go ahead.
387
00:15:18,666 --> 00:15:19,833
Look.
388
00:15:19,834 --> 00:15:22,335
You don't look a gift
Boeing in the teeth.
389
00:15:22,336 --> 00:15:23,903
Right? Right?
390
00:15:23,904 --> 00:15:25,504
- No.
- I'll be so much fresher.
391
00:15:26,974 --> 00:15:29,308
Excuse us for a second. I just wanna...
392
00:15:29,309 --> 00:15:30,877
Ma'am, listen.
393
00:15:30,878 --> 00:15:32,746
Long road to travel and all of that,
394
00:15:32,747 --> 00:15:35,581
but the compass points
to Pennsylvania Avenue.
395
00:15:35,582 --> 00:15:37,716
I have to start thinking
about appointments.
396
00:15:39,453 --> 00:15:41,186
I'm thinking about Chief of Staff.
397
00:15:42,156 --> 00:15:44,857
Uh... Oh, wow.
398
00:15:44,858 --> 00:15:46,125
- Yeah.
- (CHUCKLES)
399
00:15:46,126 --> 00:15:49,528
I mean, can you imagine the look of fear
400
00:15:49,529 --> 00:15:52,131
in their eyes when they
see you coming at them?
401
00:15:52,132 --> 00:15:54,566
Those corpulent old white fucks.
402
00:15:54,567 --> 00:15:56,068
- (CHUCKLES)
- Huh?
403
00:15:56,069 --> 00:15:57,702
How's that for a carrot?
404
00:15:58,104 --> 00:15:59,236
Hm?
405
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,175
So that's where we shape the debate.
406
00:16:03,176 --> 00:16:05,577
Ooh, cool shit.
407
00:16:05,578 --> 00:16:08,180
And I love the way the
debate keeps on getting shaped
408
00:16:08,181 --> 00:16:10,282
like a burning cross. (LAUGHS)
409
00:16:10,283 --> 00:16:12,184
You don't share our news values.
410
00:16:12,185 --> 00:16:13,385
Oh, I'm kidding.
411
00:16:13,386 --> 00:16:15,453
I'm kidding. I get it.
I'm from the Midwest.
412
00:16:15,454 --> 00:16:18,090
You know, my mom's friend,
Deb, weighs, like, 300 pounds,
413
00:16:18,091 --> 00:16:20,258
and she's pissed as fuck
about practically everything,
414
00:16:20,259 --> 00:16:22,260
so, you know, trust me,
415
00:16:22,261 --> 00:16:23,828
I'm down. I get it.
416
00:16:23,829 --> 00:16:26,964
Besides, what Logan
wants, Logan gets, right?
417
00:16:26,965 --> 00:16:29,568
Logan doesn't set our news agenda.
418
00:16:29,569 --> 00:16:32,404
Oh. (LAUGHS) No, of course he doesn't.
419
00:16:32,405 --> 00:16:34,038
I know, it's so weird, huh?
420
00:16:34,039 --> 00:16:36,074
He happens to own a news company
421
00:16:36,075 --> 00:16:38,476
and they say exactly what he thinks.
422
00:16:38,477 --> 00:16:40,212
If Logan had to tell me
423
00:16:40,213 --> 00:16:41,979
or any of my news editors
424
00:16:41,980 --> 00:16:44,249
what to run or what the angle was,
425
00:16:44,250 --> 00:16:47,185
we would be fucked.
That is not how it works.
426
00:16:47,186 --> 00:16:48,620
This isn't mind control.
427
00:16:48,621 --> 00:16:51,155
We hire people who want to work here.
428
00:16:51,156 --> 00:16:52,590
and we serve a demographic
429
00:16:52,591 --> 00:16:55,792
of highly, highly intelligent viewers,
430
00:16:55,793 --> 00:16:57,861
who are really tired
431
00:16:57,862 --> 00:16:59,963
of being patronized elsewhere
432
00:16:59,964 --> 00:17:02,733
by latte-sipping douchebags
433
00:17:02,734 --> 00:17:04,467
with hundred-dollar haircuts.
434
00:17:06,371 --> 00:17:08,472
You've got the cool job title,
435
00:17:08,473 --> 00:17:09,740
you've got freedom of movement.
436
00:17:09,741 --> 00:17:12,943
Why don't you take a
look somewhere more comfy?
437
00:17:12,944 --> 00:17:13,977
Entertainment?
438
00:17:13,978 --> 00:17:15,679
'Cause this is where the action is.
439
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,748
This is the profit center.
440
00:17:17,749 --> 00:17:21,518
The median age of our audience is 68.
441
00:17:21,519 --> 00:17:25,421
The ads are all adult
diapers and shit pills.
442
00:17:25,422 --> 00:17:27,357
Our lead in the news demo has halved.
443
00:17:27,358 --> 00:17:28,959
You know, maybe I can
444
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,427
lend a hand to take a
look at some of that.
445
00:17:31,428 --> 00:17:32,829
You know,
446
00:17:32,830 --> 00:17:35,632
he sends me one of you every four years.
447
00:17:35,633 --> 00:17:38,235
- That train is never late.
- Interesting.
448
00:17:38,236 --> 00:17:40,937
And tell me, these others that he sends,
449
00:17:40,938 --> 00:17:42,772
were they his son-in-law too?
450
00:17:43,540 --> 00:17:45,541
I'm curious.
451
00:17:45,542 --> 00:17:49,012
Efficiencies, Cyd! I'm
here to trim the flab.
452
00:17:49,013 --> 00:17:50,914
Have you told Logan this?
453
00:17:50,915 --> 00:17:52,949
I spy savings, Cyd.
454
00:17:52,950 --> 00:17:54,818
Oh, good, Tom.
455
00:17:54,819 --> 00:17:56,119
That's very good.
456
00:17:56,120 --> 00:17:58,920
Because I run a pretty tight ship.
457
00:17:59,556 --> 00:18:00,556
So...
458
00:18:01,558 --> 00:18:02,692
good luck to you.
459
00:18:02,693 --> 00:18:06,061
I'm sure you've got
him very, very excited.
460
00:18:06,062 --> 00:18:07,862
I hope you can deliver.
461
00:18:11,034 --> 00:18:12,402
Well... (CLEARS THROAT)
462
00:18:12,403 --> 00:18:13,903
Thank you very much.
463
00:18:13,904 --> 00:18:15,838
And, uh, fuck you.
464
00:18:15,839 --> 00:18:18,040
And, uh, I'll catch up with you later.
465
00:18:18,041 --> 00:18:21,042
Not on your dying day, baby.
466
00:18:23,046 --> 00:18:25,948
Greg, I need you on the ground.
467
00:18:25,949 --> 00:18:27,082
- Oh.
- Okay?
468
00:18:27,083 --> 00:18:28,951
I need you to be my
representative on earth.
469
00:18:28,952 --> 00:18:31,086
I want you to... I want you
to go on a mission for me
470
00:18:31,087 --> 00:18:32,588
and body-shame ATN,
471
00:18:32,589 --> 00:18:34,656
find the fat and point it out.
472
00:18:34,657 --> 00:18:36,058
Yeah, like, how?
473
00:18:36,059 --> 00:18:37,426
Like, find the excess, okay?
474
00:18:37,427 --> 00:18:40,662
Find the extraneous Danish,
the surfeit of stationary,
475
00:18:40,663 --> 00:18:43,665
the... the lazy cleaner,
the mail guy who walks slow.
476
00:18:43,666 --> 00:18:45,667
Okay? Snuffle out waste, pig man.
477
00:18:45,668 --> 00:18:47,669
Okay, I'll do the penthouse,
you do the basement.
478
00:18:47,670 --> 00:18:49,503
- All right?
- Yeah, yeah, you got it.
479
00:18:50,673 --> 00:18:52,340
Wait, uh, which are these?
480
00:18:53,877 --> 00:18:56,312
You know what? I'm not sure.
481
00:18:56,313 --> 00:18:57,411
Let me go check.
482
00:19:00,116 --> 00:19:02,483
Keep it coming. Fuckin'
drown him in paper.
483
00:19:08,291 --> 00:19:09,491
Good night, Kendall.
484
00:19:09,492 --> 00:19:10,591
Night, dude.
485
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:15,597
What's he doing?
486
00:19:15,598 --> 00:19:16,997
ADVISOR: I dunno. Reading?
487
00:19:19,134 --> 00:19:20,736
Thanks, useless.
488
00:19:20,737 --> 00:19:22,403
Drink your smoothie and shut up.
489
00:19:27,142 --> 00:19:28,876
Actually drinking the smoothie...
490
00:19:39,288 --> 00:19:40,822
I can give you 52 seconds.
491
00:19:40,823 --> 00:19:42,624
ROMAN: Well, I'm in at Vaulter.
492
00:19:42,625 --> 00:19:43,724
Yeah, so?
493
00:19:43,725 --> 00:19:45,826
Yeah, so, let's fucking game this out.
494
00:19:45,827 --> 00:19:47,896
Roman, we are in a proxy war.
495
00:19:47,897 --> 00:19:49,497
The plane has just been hijacked,
496
00:19:49,498 --> 00:19:51,299
all the engines have
fallen into the sea,
497
00:19:51,300 --> 00:19:52,833
and the pilot's hair is on fire.
498
00:19:52,834 --> 00:19:54,535
Gerri, come on, I need something.
499
00:19:54,536 --> 00:19:55,569
Kendall's doing shit.
500
00:19:55,570 --> 00:19:57,605
Okay, how about this: you do shit.
501
00:19:57,606 --> 00:19:58,839
What have you got?
502
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,708
One idea: pivot to video?
503
00:20:00,709 --> 00:20:02,143
Yeah, they tried that already.
504
00:20:02,144 --> 00:20:04,279
Can you just come over?
I want you in the room.
505
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:05,513
Can I come over?
506
00:20:05,514 --> 00:20:07,315
Yeah. Could... Yeah...
507
00:20:07,316 --> 00:20:08,316
Fuck you!
508
00:20:08,918 --> 00:20:09,950
Fuck you.
509
00:20:19,660 --> 00:20:22,829

could I maybe interest you all
510
00:20:22,830 --> 00:20:24,898
in going for one of those fuckin'...

run-off at the carwash?

I need three independent

Uh-huh.

00:20:59,699 --> 00:21:02,234
Buying? PGM as a defense?
528

chasing the white whale.

533
00:21:10,677 --> 00:21:12,111
talk.
534
00:21:12,112 --> 00:21:13,812

535
00:21:13,813 --> 00:21:15,414

Should you go, or shall I?
540

Uh, well, I have some ideas that I...

00:21:26,894 --> 00:21:30,654

Connor's moved into a hotel in the city.

00:21:39,505 --> 00:21:40,905
I saw.
548
00:21:40,906 --> 00:21:44,008
He sent out his email bulletin
with all the photographs.
549
00:21:44,877 --> 00:21:47,313
He rents a room, he rents a girl.
550

turned off that fuckin' Alexa?
551

566
00:22:43,901 --> 00:22:46,069
It's an appropriate amount of months.

You're a young woman with no experience.
573

A woman. That's a minus.
574
00:22:58,415 --> 00:23:00,684

Yeah, I'll take it.
616
00:24:22,941 --> 00:24:26,433
Um, so, I've spent the last 36 hours
617
00:24:26,434 --> 00:24:29,002
on a deep dive into the
drivers of the business.
618
00:24:29,003 --> 00:24:30,837
Headline is, it's a body pit.
619
00:24:30,838 --> 00:24:33,140
Uh, they have mass of
data with no analytics.
620
00:24:33,141 --> 00:24:35,409
There's no way of telling
what's a hand and what's a foot.
621
00:24:35,410 --> 00:24:37,611
But it's still a killer business.

00:24:39,314 --> 00:24:42,216
Uh, ethos and culture are leading edge.
624
00:24:42,217 --> 00:24:45,451
And, um, in my view, it's fixable.
625
00:24:45,452 --> 00:24:46,887
It's funny how these fuck-ups
626
00:24:46,888 --> 00:24:48,889
always make the bottom line look fatter.
627
00:24:48,890 --> 00:24:51,224

629
00:24:53,494 --> 00:24:55,095
and, uh, investment.
630
00:24:55,096 --> 00:24:57,463

631
00:24:57,464 --> 00:25:00,633
we... make it the best
thing in the world.

sounds like a good pitch.

00:28:15,396 --> 00:28:17,130

want to move to the city."

710
00:28:25,406 --> 00:28:28,075
It was pretty hard to wheedle
the old man out of the dessert.
711

00:28:29,110 --> 00:28:31,555
But, um, we're here now
713
00:28:31,556 --> 00:28:34,714
in our, um, not-so-humble home...
714

715
00:28:36,250 --> 00:28:38,877
But, uh, friends, family, please,
716
00:28:38,878 --> 00:28:40,779
you know, feel free to drop in anytime,
717
00:28:40,780 --> 00:28:42,948
and, um, don't worry about all this,
718
00:28:42,949 --> 00:28:46,151
'cause it's on our tab. (LAUGHS) So...
719
00:28:46,152 --> 00:28:47,484
Okay. Great.

Okay. (CHUCKLES)
722

Hey, Con, thank you so much
723
00:28:54,426 --> 00:28:56,494
for taking care of the
sliders and all this shit.
724
00:28:56,495 --> 00:28:58,563
Yeah, and the champagne.
It's very big of you.
725
00:28:58,564 --> 00:29:00,698
And I love what you haven't
done with the place as well.
726
00:29:00,699 --> 00:29:02,667
Yeah, well, you know we
got a really good deal.
727
00:29:02,668 --> 00:29:04,202
And rehearsals are
right around the corner.
728
00:29:04,203 --> 00:29:05,703
Plus, I needed a place in the city
729
00:29:05,704 --> 00:29:07,205
'cause I'm gonna start ramping up soon.
730
00:29:07,206 --> 00:29:09,640
So I needed campaign headquarters.
731
00:29:09,641 --> 00:29:10,876
(COUGHING) Wait.
732
00:29:10,877 --> 00:29:12,878
- You okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
733
00:29:12,879 --> 00:29:15,213
- Are you still doing that?
- Very funny. Yes.
734
00:29:15,214 --> 00:29:16,714
I'm still applying for the job
735
00:29:16,715 --> 00:29:18,350
of President of the United States.
736
00:29:18,351 --> 00:29:19,784
WILLA: Oh, good for you.
737
00:29:19,785 --> 00:29:21,018
Yeah. Do you...
738
00:29:21,019 --> 00:29:22,819
Do you think that that's
like a natural progression
739
00:29:22,820 --> 00:29:24,721
from "never done nothing, never,"
740
00:29:24,722 --> 00:29:26,390
to "most important job in the world?"
741
00:29:26,391 --> 00:29:27,791
- CONNOR: Well...
- Like, could you maybe
742
00:29:27,792 --> 00:29:30,094
get a little experience at,
like at a CVS, something, first?
743
00:29:30,095 --> 00:29:32,662
Yeah, yeah, or just, like,
nickel hand jobs under a bridge.
744
00:29:32,663 --> 00:29:34,543
- Start small.
- You guys have big plans for me.

Place is a time machine.
746
00:29:36,935 --> 00:29:40,070
It's like 45 minutes every
time they need file tape,
747
00:29:40,071 --> 00:29:42,006
all the way to some warehouse in Queens.
748
00:29:42,007 --> 00:29:43,040
Okay, so?
749
00:29:43,041 --> 00:29:44,508
So, I don't know. I mean...
750
00:29:44,509 --> 00:29:46,410
How come it isn't digitized?
751
00:29:46,411 --> 00:29:49,079
The whole of ATN, it's
totally analog, Tom.
752
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:50,915
So I could fire people?
753
00:29:50,916 --> 00:29:53,550
Correct? If we did
this? If we digitized?
754
00:29:53,551 --> 00:29:56,052
I... (SIGHS) I mean,
you'd be removing, like,
755
00:29:56,053 --> 00:29:58,421
two links from the production
chain of every show.
756
00:29:58,422 --> 00:29:59,688
- But would it be...
- Okay, okay, okay.
757
00:29:59,689 --> 00:30:01,958
But... but in terms of skulls,
758
00:30:01,959 --> 00:30:04,427
how many skulls, do you think?
759
00:30:04,428 --> 00:30:06,062
- That we can lose?
- Yeah.
760
00:30:06,063 --> 00:30:08,831
I dunno. I... I guess, like, 30 or 50?
761
00:30:08,832 --> 00:30:10,332
Fifty skulls?
762
00:30:13,370 --> 00:30:14,670
I'm slavering, pig man!
763
00:30:14,671 --> 00:30:16,363
Fifty skulls is a lot of skulls!
764

Yeah.

contents of his scrotum

00:30:28,552 --> 00:30:29,552
at Dad's feet.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

00:30:33,389 --> 00:30:35,223
Is that a good idea?
774
00:30:35,224 --> 00:30:36,759
Fucking great idea.

me and, uh, Tabitha and I,
779
00:30:45,034 --> 00:30:48,570
uh, that we'd like to have
you and Tom over for dinner.

00:30:49,339 --> 00:30:51,206
Uh... sorry, what? Do you...
781
00:30:51,207 --> 00:30:53,308
Roman Roy, did you just
invite us to dinner?
782
00:30:53,309 --> 00:30:54,677
Oh, fuck you. All right, shut up.
783
00:30:54,678 --> 00:30:56,879
Yes, I did. Metro poser bullshit.

Hey.
788
00:31:17,717 --> 00:31:19,308
Do you reckon if I called room service
789
00:31:19,309 --> 00:31:21,229
and asked them to poke
me in the eye, they would?
790
00:31:22,638 --> 00:31:24,071
It's pretty unbearable in there.

to you about that.

Just seems like a bad move to me.

now they're doing it.

the thing that I said.

not be, but it could be.

00:34:43,034 --> 00:34:44,501
TOM: Totally.
881
00:34:44,502 --> 00:34:46,670
So what was the play?
882
00:34:46,671 --> 00:34:49,639
SHIV: Well, he's asked
before, obviously,
883
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,141
and this time was real...
884
00:34:53,588 --> 00:34:54,879
so...
885
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,939
I thought I would be
deleveraging power if I said no.
886
00:34:57,940 --> 00:34:59,506
Exactly. Yes.
887
00:35:00,984 --> 00:35:04,588
Tom, this is 100 percent
not going to happen.
888
00:35:04,589 --> 00:35:07,357
But it's smart to say yes, right?
889
00:35:07,358 --> 00:35:09,025
I am so...
890
00:35:09,026 --> 00:35:10,793
excited for you!
891
00:35:10,794 --> 00:35:12,429
- Thank you.
- For us!
892
00:35:12,430 --> 00:35:14,497
I am.
893
00:35:14,498 --> 00:35:18,767
And you know, it's okay for
you to say that you want it.
894
00:35:19,704 --> 00:35:20,937
I'd support you.
895
00:35:20,938 --> 00:35:22,539
SHIV: Well, look, I mean...
896
00:35:22,540 --> 00:35:25,141
Say I did want it,
w... and I... I don't,
897
00:35:25,142 --> 00:35:26,876
you know, you...
898
00:35:26,877 --> 00:35:29,246
if I was CEO of Waystar, I mean...
899
00:35:29,247 --> 00:35:30,513
(BOTH LAUGH)
900
00:35:30,514 --> 00:35:32,750
I mean, you, honey, are
gonna be something huge.
901
00:35:32,751 --> 00:35:33,842
Yeah.
902
00:35:33,843 --> 00:35:35,167
Sure. Like what?
903
00:35:35,168 --> 00:35:36,458
I... I don't know.
904
00:35:36,459 --> 00:35:37,508
But we'll figure it out.
905
00:35:37,509 --> 00:35:39,956
Yeah, that's for later
on down... down the road.
906
00:35:39,957 --> 00:35:41,837
- Whenever. Just whenever.
- (SHIV EXHALES) Wow.
907
00:35:42,683 --> 00:35:44,382
(SHIV LAUGHS)
908
00:35:45,028 --> 00:35:46,262
(SIGHS)
909
00:35:46,263 --> 00:35:48,197
I mean, it's hilarious, right?
910
00:35:48,198 --> 00:35:49,431
Oh, yes!
911
00:35:49,432 --> 00:35:51,532
- It's fucking funny!
- (SHIV LAUGHS)
912
00:35:55,038 --> 00:35:56,239
BOTH: Yeah...
913
00:35:56,240 --> 00:35:58,074
- Hey, come here.
- Hey.
914
00:35:58,075 --> 00:35:59,374
- Mm.
- Hey.
915
00:36:00,110 --> 00:36:02,078
Oh. Oh, now?
916
00:36:02,079 --> 00:36:03,646
- Mm. Why not?
- Well, let me just...
917
00:36:03,647 --> 00:36:05,438
Hang on. Let me just
go and brush my teeth.
918
00:36:05,439 --> 00:36:06,481
No.
919
00:36:06,482 --> 00:36:08,015
- No, come here.
- Okay.
920
00:36:10,552 --> 00:36:13,421
I... I hear your brother's
running for president.
921
00:36:13,422 --> 00:36:15,223
Maybe we should get him here.
922
00:36:15,224 --> 00:36:17,525
He seems like the... the serious one.
923
00:36:17,526 --> 00:36:20,027
Right. Lawrence, we have a problem.
924
00:36:20,945 --> 00:36:22,335
- (LAWRENCE CLEARS THROAT)
- Okay?
925
00:36:22,336 --> 00:36:24,069
My dad wants to shut you down.
926
00:36:25,601 --> 00:36:28,603
- What are you talking about?
- Yeah.
927
00:36:28,604 --> 00:36:30,806
But I don't want you
to worry about my dad.
928
00:36:30,807 --> 00:36:32,407
Okay? I can handle my dad.
929
00:36:32,408 --> 00:36:33,608
The fuck you talking about?
930
00:36:33,609 --> 00:36:35,143
I know what's going on here.
931
00:36:35,144 --> 00:36:37,879
Right? It's a... It's a...
It's a Potemkin village.
932
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:39,514
I mean, the engagement and bounce rate
933
00:36:39,515 --> 00:36:41,582
have been inflated and
fucked around so much
934
00:36:41,583 --> 00:36:43,217
they're impossible to verify.
935
00:36:43,218 --> 00:36:45,186
Your share stats, the... the churn,
936
00:36:45,187 --> 00:36:47,488
the SEO traffic KPIs are all bullshit.
937
00:36:47,489 --> 00:36:51,158
I mean, you suckered me
in, and, uh, I bought it.
938
00:36:51,159 --> 00:36:54,028
We had a couple shitty traffic months...
939
00:36:54,029 --> 00:36:56,188
Uh, Facebook changed their algorithm.
940
00:36:56,189 --> 00:36:57,213
Uh-huh.
941
00:36:57,214 --> 00:36:58,590
- We got face-fucked, okay?
- All right.
942
00:36:58,591 --> 00:36:59,915
We're turning the corner now.
943
00:36:59,916 --> 00:37:00,916
Okay.
944
00:37:01,670 --> 00:37:03,003
O... Okay.
945
00:37:03,004 --> 00:37:05,238
What? Yeah, o... okay.
Is... Is that real?
946
00:37:06,709 --> 00:37:08,775
- From Logan?
- Look, I can fix this.
947
00:37:09,678 --> 00:37:11,779
Okay? But no more obfuscation.
948
00:37:11,780 --> 00:37:13,448
No more shitty data.
949
00:37:13,449 --> 00:37:16,483
I need the full, fiber-optic,
clear-channel shit.
950
00:37:16,484 --> 00:37:19,253
CT scan the whole
place, and we move fast.
951
00:37:19,254 --> 00:37:20,620
Okay.
952
00:37:20,621 --> 00:37:22,755
Do you like double-crossing your dad?
953
00:37:24,059 --> 00:37:25,525
Oh, that's your favorite.
954
00:37:25,526 --> 00:37:27,127
Isn't it?
955
00:37:27,128 --> 00:37:31,731
I'm of the opinion he can be
persuaded he's making a mistake.
956
00:37:34,469 --> 00:37:35,634
- Okay?
- Okay.
957
00:37:37,005 --> 00:37:38,239
Oh yeah, w... Uh, one more thing.
958
00:37:38,240 --> 00:37:42,309
I... I... I need everyone
to cool it on unionizing.
959
00:37:42,310 --> 00:37:43,844
Okay, they're not gonna do that.
960
00:37:43,845 --> 00:37:46,080
Half of them are about
to sign union cards.
961
00:37:46,081 --> 00:37:47,146
Let me speak to them.
962
00:37:49,150 --> 00:37:51,317
Everyone here fucking hates you.

I think I can take it.
965
00:37:56,123 --> 00:37:58,091
Hey, everyone. Thanks for...
966
00:37:58,092 --> 00:38:00,494
Thanks for gathering.
This'll just be a minute.
967
00:38:00,495 --> 00:38:02,362
Can you... Can you guys
hear me in the back?
968
00:38:02,363 --> 00:38:03,962
- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- Yeah?
969
00:38:04,532 --> 00:38:05,564
Uh...
970
00:38:06,634 --> 00:38:07,634
Vaulter.
971
00:38:08,603 --> 00:38:11,671
Hey, um... Okay.
972
00:38:11,672 --> 00:38:13,940
Look, some of you might
have noticed this already,
973
00:38:13,941 --> 00:38:17,010
but, uh, just so you're
getting it direct from me,
974
00:38:17,011 --> 00:38:20,580
uh, Waystar management has been
taking a look at the business
975
00:38:20,581 --> 00:38:21,815
over the last week.
976
00:38:21,816 --> 00:38:24,116
But I just wanna say
this to you in person...
977
00:38:25,289 --> 00:38:28,482
I believe Vaulter is the
future of this company.
978
00:38:28,483 --> 00:38:29,574
WOMAN: Sure.
979
00:38:29,575 --> 00:38:32,124
I'm Se... I'm fuckin' s... dead serious.
980
00:38:32,125 --> 00:38:33,959
Just... You can't question my belief
981
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,529
in what you've all built here.
982
00:38:36,530 --> 00:38:39,665
You know, in... in... in
what Lawrence has built.
983
00:38:39,666 --> 00:38:41,366
But if we're gonna come through here,
984
00:38:41,367 --> 00:38:43,302
we need to be light on our feet.
985
00:38:43,303 --> 00:38:45,237
That's why I personally think
986
00:38:45,238 --> 00:38:48,340
it would be a mistake
for you to unionize.
987

(STAFF MUTTERING)
988
00:38:49,643 --> 00:38:50,843
Just... Just hear me out.
989
00:38:50,844 --> 00:38:52,077
Okay, we will get you

a really punchy independent
arbitration panel,
991
00:38:54,815 --> 00:38:56,081
we'll get you a pay bump.
992
00:38:56,082 --> 00:38:58,215
I know a lot of you are
flirting with the guild,
993
00:38:58,216 --> 00:39:00,251
and I'm just asking you to consider
994
00:39:00,252 --> 00:39:01,686
putting that on ice.
995
00:39:01,687 --> 00:39:04,054
And let's try and
figure this out inside.
996
00:39:04,824 --> 00:39:06,390
We keep it in the...
997
00:39:06,391 --> 00:39:09,928
fuckin' super cheesy,
but in the Waystar family.
998
00:39:09,929 --> 00:39:14,065
'Cause we do not want an
adversarial situation here.
999
00:39:14,066 --> 00:39:16,634
Okay, we want communication,
1000
00:39:16,635 --> 00:39:18,402
we want engagement.
1001
00:39:18,403 --> 00:39:20,004
So let's all pull together
1002
00:39:20,005 --> 00:39:21,372
and go back to your desks
1003
00:39:21,373 --> 00:39:24,642
and generate me five, ten, 100 ideas
1004
00:39:24,643 --> 00:39:26,309
and hit me and my man here up.

practically make use of this area.
1010
00:39:36,554 --> 00:39:39,756
That's just a mezzanine.
You know, it's just a bonus.

with under-stair storage.

most urgently of all, Stanley,

is me.

It's a maybe.

- Yeah.

1030
00:40:35,812 --> 00:40:37,947
Uh, of this? I think...
1031
00:40:37,948 --> 00:40:39,381
it's...
1032
00:40:39,382 --> 00:40:43,252
huge. It's, um, it's a very large space.
1033
00:40:43,253 --> 00:40:45,187
What's the... what's the footage?
1034
00:40:45,188 --> 00:40:46,922
Uh, I don't know.
1035
00:40:46,923 --> 00:40:48,924
Developers overestimated demand,
1036
00:40:48,925 --> 00:40:52,327
so I bought all five units
and my guy's gonna flip 'em.
1037
00:40:52,328 --> 00:40:53,995
Yeah, 'cause i... it's...
1038
00:40:53,996 --> 00:40:55,897
an abundance of footage.
1039
00:40:55,898 --> 00:40:58,266
An embarrassment of... of footage.
1040
00:40:58,834 --> 00:41:00,102
Yeah.
1041
00:41:00,103 --> 00:41:01,503
It's yours.

market starts to move,
1043

- but...
- Until it starts to move.

No, I'm serious.

- Yeah.
- Like...

Yeah, you live here now, Greg.

Yeah. Sweet, I live here! Nice.

Yeah, I know. I needed
a place to live, so...
1053
00:41:24,426 --> 00:41:26,294
Now, uh, now I got it!

00:41:30,132 --> 00:41:31,499
I'm not fuckin' around.
1057
00:41:31,500 --> 00:41:33,768
Like, it's just gonna be empty.
1058
00:41:33,769 --> 00:41:35,335
- It's not a big deal.
- Kendall.
1059
00:41:36,072 --> 00:41:37,337
What, dude?
1060
00:41:38,708 --> 00:41:40,609
This is fuck... Th... this is...
1061
00:41:40,610 --> 00:41:42,210
Dude, thank you.
1062
00:41:42,211 --> 00:41:43,677
So much, man.
1063
00:41:46,381 --> 00:41:49,017
Wow. I mean...
1064
00:41:49,018 --> 00:41:51,051
- Look at these ceilings.
- Yeah.
1065
00:41:51,052 --> 00:41:52,853
Nice height, you got big windows,
1066
00:41:52,854 --> 00:41:54,621
- a lot of light.
- (GREG WHOOPING)
1067
00:41:56,091 --> 00:41:58,191
Yeah. Have you ever had your own place?
1068
00:41:58,994 --> 00:42:00,128
GREG: Fuck yeah.
1069
00:42:00,129 --> 00:42:02,997
I was thinking we
could hang out tonight.
1070
00:42:02,998 --> 00:42:04,198
- Yeah.
- Like, in here.
1071
00:42:04,199 --> 00:42:06,066
- Sure.
- Have a little party.
1072
00:42:06,067 --> 00:42:07,301
Sweet.
1073
00:42:07,302 --> 00:42:08,469
- (ELEVATOR DINGS)
- ROMAN: Hi!
1074
00:42:08,470 --> 00:42:10,605
- ALL: Hi!
- Tom Wambsgans.
1075
00:42:10,606 --> 00:42:11,772
SHIV AND TABITHA: Hi!
1076
00:42:11,773 --> 00:42:13,274
- ROMAN: Manly handshake.
- TOM: Manly handshake.
1077
00:42:13,275 --> 00:42:15,008
(ALL CHIT-CHAT AWKWARDLY)
1078
00:42:18,013 --> 00:42:19,380
- SHIV: Uh...
- I have this...
1079
00:42:19,381 --> 00:42:21,715
overwhelming urge to either
knee someone in the vagina
1080
00:42:21,716 --> 00:42:23,017
or spit on the floor.
1081
00:42:23,018 --> 00:42:25,953
Hmm. He's been a little
bit nervous about tonight.
1082
00:42:25,954 --> 00:42:28,122
Nervous, come the fuck on.
1083
00:42:28,123 --> 00:42:31,058
For din-dins with
firecrotch and normcore?
1084
00:42:31,059 --> 00:42:32,059
Please.
1085
00:42:33,128 --> 00:42:34,662
TABITHA: Well, come on in!
1086
00:42:34,663 --> 00:42:36,263
Have some champagne.
1087
00:42:36,264 --> 00:42:38,799
Enjoy our beautiful room.
1088
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,968
Could spend your whole life
here. That's how I figure it.
1089
00:42:40,969 --> 00:42:43,403
Born on the couch and cremated in here.
1090
00:42:43,404 --> 00:42:44,772
Can I get a Diet Coke?
1091
00:42:44,773 --> 00:42:46,040
Oh, Tom has a cold,
1092
00:42:46,041 --> 00:42:47,507
and he wants everyone to know.
1093
00:42:47,508 --> 00:42:48,508
SHIV: Oh.
1094
00:42:48,509 --> 00:42:50,243
Well, we could send out for some saline,
1095
00:42:50,244 --> 00:42:52,479
we could stand around and
watch you do a nasal wash.
1096
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,215
No, no. thank you. I'm good. Thank you.
1097
00:42:55,216 --> 00:42:57,575
I'm hearing some stories
about that brother of ours.
1098
00:42:57,576 --> 00:42:58,967
Apparently...
1099
00:42:58,968 --> 00:43:01,555
You wanna actually drink that?
'Cause I got some stronger shit.
1100
00:43:01,556 --> 00:43:03,089
- SHIV: Yeah.
- ROME: Do you like Japanese whiskey?
1101
00:43:03,090 --> 00:43:04,191
- SHIV: Yeah.
- ROMAN: I've got this one
1102
00:43:04,192 --> 00:43:05,892
that tastes like fucking dragonpiss...
1103
00:43:05,893 --> 00:43:07,333
You should try swallowing something.
1104
00:43:10,364 --> 00:43:11,430
Like honey.
1105
00:43:12,900 --> 00:43:14,132
I'm fine, thank you.
1106
00:43:15,203 --> 00:43:17,136
Word is he's on maneuvers again.
1107
00:43:17,137 --> 00:43:20,207
Making all kinds of promises
about keeping Vaulter open.
1108
00:43:20,208 --> 00:43:22,041
What? Does Dad know?
1109
00:43:22,042 --> 00:43:23,410
Uh, hell no, Dad doesn't know.
1110
00:43:23,411 --> 00:43:25,478
He's a shenaniganizing piece of shit.
1111
00:43:25,479 --> 00:43:28,547
But the thing I keep
turning over in my mind is...
1112
00:43:29,650 --> 00:43:31,351
do I tell Dad?
1113
00:43:31,352 --> 00:43:33,552
Because if I drop the shoe on Ken now,
1114
00:43:33,553 --> 00:43:34,886
he's crushed forever.
1115
00:43:34,887 --> 00:43:36,822
Uh... (EXHALES)
1116
00:43:36,823 --> 00:43:40,859
If Kendall's going
rogue, then... let him.
1117
00:43:40,860 --> 00:43:42,695
Sooner or later, it's
gonna blow up in his face.
1118
00:43:42,696 --> 00:43:44,697
I love it when it blows
up in people's faces.
1119
00:43:44,698 --> 00:43:46,897
- You do.
- I do. It's my fuckin' favorite.
1120
00:43:48,702 --> 00:43:50,436
I like how this is working.
1121
00:43:50,437 --> 00:43:52,104
Us. I see a future here.
1122
00:43:52,105 --> 00:43:53,305
Yeah. Sure.
1123
00:43:53,306 --> 00:43:54,406
- No, me too.
- Yeah.
1124
00:43:54,407 --> 00:43:55,887
'Cause, you know, there's an opening.
1125
00:43:56,943 --> 00:43:59,010
Yeah, see, no one sees me coming.
1126
00:43:59,011 --> 00:44:00,379
But I am right on the shoulder.
1127
00:44:00,380 --> 00:44:02,681
If Dad announces
tomorrow, he announces me.
1128
00:44:02,682 --> 00:44:04,350
Has to, there's no other option.
1129
00:44:04,351 --> 00:44:06,652
I mean, it's fucking insane,
but I am the best he's got.
1130
00:44:06,653 --> 00:44:07,686
Yeah.
1131
00:44:07,687 --> 00:44:09,754
Unless... There is one other.
1132
00:44:12,091 --> 00:44:13,158
Who?
1133
00:44:13,159 --> 00:44:15,426
Shiv, should I be worried about Tom?
1134
00:44:15,427 --> 00:44:17,295
(SHIV LAUGHING) Tom?
1135
00:44:17,296 --> 00:44:20,165
No, you don't need to
be worried about Tom.
1136
00:44:20,166 --> 00:44:21,233
Okay.
1137
00:44:21,234 --> 00:44:22,332
All right.
1138
00:44:24,971 --> 00:44:26,336
How's news, Tom?
1139
00:44:27,339 --> 00:44:28,974
Challenging.
1140
00:44:28,975 --> 00:44:30,975
Tough row to hoe, but, you know...
1141
00:44:31,677 --> 00:44:33,278
think I see a way out.
1142
00:44:33,279 --> 00:44:34,579
- It's good, yeah.
- ROMAN: Yeah?
1143
00:44:34,580 --> 00:44:36,313
A way out. Good for you, man.
1144
00:44:38,450 --> 00:44:40,685
So what is it, this way out?
1145
00:44:40,686 --> 00:44:43,421
Oh, it's early days, and I... Yeah.
1146
00:44:43,422 --> 00:44:46,190
I haven't even discussed
it with Logan yet, but...
1147
00:44:46,191 --> 00:44:47,592
Oh, so it's a secret?
1148
00:44:47,593 --> 00:44:49,059
That's fucking exciting.
1149
00:44:49,060 --> 00:44:50,860
When are you gonna tell
him, at the sleepover?
1150
00:44:51,963 --> 00:44:54,899
Well, um, no.
1151
00:44:54,900 --> 00:44:57,034
We're-looking in...
Well, I'm looking into
1152
00:44:57,035 --> 00:44:58,803
digitizing ATN.
1153
00:44:58,804 --> 00:45:02,273
Like, a total overhaul
of the... of the legacy
1154
00:45:02,274 --> 00:45:03,775
analog infrastructure.
1155
00:45:03,776 --> 00:45:04,909
Yeah.
1156
00:45:04,910 --> 00:45:06,544
Making a lot of
productivity gains as well,
1157
00:45:06,545 --> 00:45:08,979
so I think your dad
will be pretty pleased.
1158
00:45:08,980 --> 00:45:10,079
Fuckin' A.
1159
00:45:10,949 --> 00:45:12,617
Look at the corn-feeder.
1160
00:45:12,618 --> 00:45:14,919
Going all synergies and shit.
1161
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:16,554
- Yeah.
- ROMAN: Nice.
1162
00:45:16,555 --> 00:45:17,721
Worth a shot.
1163
00:45:17,722 --> 00:45:18,754
Thanks, man.
1164
00:45:27,765 --> 00:45:30,033
Where do you buy your
suits, by the way, Tom?
1165
00:45:30,034 --> 00:45:31,702
Like, maybe that's why
1166
00:45:31,703 --> 00:45:32,969
I'm just not moving as fast as you.
1167
00:45:32,970 --> 00:45:36,239
I just don't have that,
like, boxy, corporate look.
1168
00:45:36,240 --> 00:45:37,541
Right?
1169
00:45:37,542 --> 00:45:39,710
I mean, I'm sorry, but, like,
1170
00:45:39,711 --> 00:45:42,379
what the fuck? You
look like a Transformer.
1171
00:45:42,380 --> 00:45:44,381
Like, wh... what's wrong
with your body, man?
1172
00:45:44,382 --> 00:45:46,750
Rome, come on. There's
nothing wrong with his body,
1173
00:45:46,751 --> 00:45:48,051
it's just fuckin' suits.
1174
00:45:48,052 --> 00:45:51,087
What? Come on, we... we've
laughed about it before.
1175
00:45:51,088 --> 00:45:52,621
- ROMAN: You have?
- Yeah.
1176
00:45:52,622 --> 00:45:54,523
He's thrifty, and he has
the worst taste in suits.
1177
00:45:54,524 --> 00:45:55,825
Totally has terrible Ta...
1178
00:45:55,826 --> 00:45:57,860
You look like a divorce
attorney from the Twin Cities.
1179
00:45:57,861 --> 00:46:00,262
It's partly the walk.
It's like a real...
1180
00:46:00,263 --> 00:46:02,698
- ROMAN: Robot?
- No, agricultural walk.
1181
00:46:02,699 --> 00:46:05,133
(ROMAN AND TABITHA LAUGH)
1182
00:46:05,134 --> 00:46:06,769
Agricultural walk!
1183
00:46:06,770 --> 00:46:08,871
You know, I tried to get,
uh, one of his suits tailored
1184
00:46:08,872 --> 00:46:10,205
- by the guy that Dad uses.
- ROMAN: Mm-hmm.
1185
00:46:10,206 --> 00:46:12,407
- But he just looked so, like...
- Hey, Shiv? Fuck off.
1186
00:46:24,988 --> 00:46:27,655
So, I'm probably just gonna
sleep in the guest room
1187
00:46:27,656 --> 00:46:29,424
so I don't keep you awake.
1188
00:46:29,425 --> 00:46:31,092
SHIV: Uh, are you kidding me?
1189
00:46:31,093 --> 00:46:33,261
What? We'll both sleep better.
1190
00:46:33,262 --> 00:46:34,262
SHIV: Tom.
1191
00:46:35,197 --> 00:46:36,197
Come on.
1192
00:46:37,065 --> 00:46:39,267
We've just... We've gotten...
1193
00:46:39,268 --> 00:46:40,868
tangled up, okay?
1194
00:46:42,924 --> 00:46:44,282
Honey,
1195
00:46:44,283 --> 00:46:46,484
you're the only one I can
talk to about this stuff.
1196
00:46:48,143 --> 00:46:49,309
I need you.
1197
00:47:00,845 --> 00:47:03,061
- Now, I have a choice...
- TOM: Mm-hmm.
1198
00:47:03,062 --> 00:47:05,622
...to make. It's either Gil,
1199
00:47:05,623 --> 00:47:06,980
or it's Dad.
1200
00:47:06,981 --> 00:47:08,773
And it's a bit of a headfuck.
1201
00:47:08,774 --> 00:47:10,131
Okay.
1202
00:47:10,132 --> 00:47:11,765
Well, let's break it down.
1203
00:47:14,744 --> 00:47:16,301
'Cause here's what I've been thinking.
1204
00:47:16,302 --> 00:47:18,703
- TOM: Mm-hmm.
- What if a good person...
1205
00:47:19,373 --> 00:47:20,574
ran Waystar?
1206
00:47:20,575 --> 00:47:22,709
Yeah, I know. Waystar, it's...
1207
00:47:22,710 --> 00:47:24,644
You know, it's the family business.
1208
00:47:25,547 --> 00:47:26,880
It's your inheritance.
1209
00:47:26,881 --> 00:47:30,417
But, you know, you saw what
your dad did to Kendall.
1210
00:47:30,418 --> 00:47:32,920
There's gotta be a chance
he'll do the same to you.
1211
00:47:32,921 --> 00:47:34,854
Get bored of you once he's got you.
1212
00:47:34,855 --> 00:47:36,088
I dunno. Maybe it's about
1213
00:47:36,089 --> 00:47:38,825
keeping your options open, Siobhan.
1214
00:47:38,826 --> 00:47:40,827
Oh, yeah. Yes.
1215
00:47:40,828 --> 00:47:42,662
Can you not just...
1216
00:47:42,663 --> 00:47:45,531
see how it goes and
keep the plates spinning?
1217
00:47:45,532 --> 00:47:48,166
Go Dick Morris, run
things from out back?
1218
00:47:52,238 --> 00:47:53,238
Yeah.
1219
00:47:54,541 --> 00:47:55,975
Uh-huh.
1220
00:47:55,976 --> 00:47:57,208
That's the play.
1221
00:48:04,652 --> 00:48:06,318
KENDALL: Okay, where
are we on office two?
1222
00:48:06,319 --> 00:48:08,320
I wanna be operational by tomorrow.
1223
00:48:08,321 --> 00:48:09,521
They're outside right now.
1224
00:48:09,522 --> 00:48:10,522
Let's go.
1225
00:48:13,793 --> 00:48:15,553
- KENDALL: IT's on their way?
- JESS: Mm-hmm.
1226
00:48:18,164 --> 00:48:20,431
They know where it's

1441

Jeremy approached it
with his typical rigor.

the acting scene partner
1456

to do that to him,
1457
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:53,282
