1
00:00:06,206 --> 00:00:07,485
You said you wanted splashy.
2
00:00:07,527 --> 00:00:10,088
-Is this splashy enough?
-Well, it's a beginning.
3
00:00:10,130 --> 00:00:12,090
I'm CFO, Chief Fun Officer.
4
00:00:12,132 --> 00:00:14,252
And I'm art director,
which is an actual title.
5
00:00:14,294 --> 00:00:15,453
I have fans now.
6
00:00:15,495 --> 00:00:17,335
Yeah, and they're
incredibly wealthy
7
00:00:17,377 --> 00:00:18,897
and they live in castles
8
00:00:18,939 --> 00:00:20,338
and hire me
to shoot their playthings.
9
00:00:20,380 --> 00:00:22,100
We could turn Minx
into so much more
10
00:00:22,142 --> 00:00:23,141
than just a magazine.
11
00:00:23,183 --> 00:00:25,023
Merchandising, uh, events,
12
00:00:25,065 --> 00:00:27,785
international editions,
taking this thing global.
13
00:00:27,827 --> 00:00:29,867
Something is going on with you.
14
00:00:29,909 --> 00:00:31,911
Whatever this is, I want
to figure it out with you.
15
00:00:33,833 --> 00:00:35,353
Please welcome Joyce Prigger.
16
00:00:35,395 --> 00:00:37,475
-Am I a celebrity?
-Sure, you're a celebrity.
17
00:00:37,517 --> 00:00:39,277
Doesn't it seem
like people are longing
18
00:00:39,319 --> 00:00:41,839
for a way to be more open
about sexuality
19
00:00:41,881 --> 00:00:43,361
without feeling shame?
20
00:00:43,403 --> 00:00:45,763
God save the queen of dicks.
21
00:00:45,805 --> 00:00:47,405
And, you know,
I don't think it stops there.
22
00:00:47,447 --> 00:00:49,809
I-I think this feels like
the beginning of something.
23
00:01:01,621 --> 00:01:03,141
Hey.
24
00:01:13,913 --> 00:01:16,194
Thank you.
25
00:01:18,598 --> 00:01:21,439
Sunset Boulevard.
You got 90,000 eyes a day.
26
00:01:21,481 --> 00:01:23,041
That is a wonderful idea, Doug.
27
00:01:23,083 --> 00:01:24,602
Truly inspired.
28
00:01:24,644 --> 00:01:26,124
Really?
'Cause yesterday you said
29
00:01:26,166 --> 00:01:29,367
that billboards were "a blight
on the public commons."
30
00:01:29,409 --> 00:01:30,768
Well, you know what,
I slept on it,
31
00:01:30,810 --> 00:01:32,170
and it's a winner.
32
00:01:36,256 --> 00:01:37,215
Yes, Bambi.
33
00:01:37,257 --> 00:01:38,776
Um, who are those people
34
00:01:38,818 --> 00:01:40,138
and why do they keep
taking our picture?
35
00:01:40,180 --> 00:01:42,140
That's Rolling Stone,
and they're here today
36
00:01:42,182 --> 00:01:43,581
doing a feature
on Bottom Dollar.
37
00:01:43,623 --> 00:01:45,583
You really need
to read my memos, Bambi.
38
00:01:45,625 --> 00:01:47,385
Oh, I don't read memos
on principle.
39
00:01:47,427 --> 00:01:48,706
But fun.
40
00:01:48,748 --> 00:01:49,747
Yes, it is.
41
00:01:49,789 --> 00:01:51,990
It's... so much fun.
42
00:01:52,032 --> 00:01:54,232
Big day today,
big shoot, big issue.
43
00:01:54,274 --> 00:01:55,753
Does anyone know
where Richie is?
44
00:01:55,795 --> 00:01:57,315
Art department's still waiting
on his approval,
45
00:01:57,357 --> 00:01:58,916
and I don't know
why he's not here.
46
00:01:58,958 --> 00:02:00,118
I'm here.
I'm here and I'm ready.
47
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,800
Uh, more.
48
00:02:02,842 --> 00:02:04,362
Both. Also both.
49
00:02:04,404 --> 00:02:06,444
You know my budgets aren't
suggestions, right?
50
00:02:06,486 --> 00:02:07,925
Just how over are we?
51
00:02:07,967 --> 00:02:09,687
Twenty percent and counting.
52
00:02:09,729 --> 00:02:12,130
Eh, that's a rounding error
in my book.
53
00:02:12,172 --> 00:02:14,892
I think we need to support
this man's vision.
54
00:02:14,934 --> 00:02:16,014
You've earned it.
55
00:02:16,056 --> 00:02:18,216
Thank you, Connie.
56
00:02:18,258 --> 00:02:20,218
And in other news,
the, uh, comment cards
57
00:02:20,260 --> 00:02:23,981
for my new science magazine,
uh, Beyond,
58
00:02:24,023 --> 00:02:26,025
came out, and they're, uh...
59
00:02:27,067 --> 00:02:29,267
...they're very positive.
60
00:02:29,309 --> 00:02:30,948
Yeah, so I'll read 'em to you.
61
00:02:30,990 --> 00:02:32,950
Somebody said, "Original."
62
00:02:32,992 --> 00:02:34,512
"Mind-blowing."
63
00:02:34,554 --> 00:02:36,434
"The biggest development
in science
64
00:02:36,476 --> 00:02:37,715
since the Punnett square."
65
00:02:37,757 --> 00:02:39,157
I wrote that one.
66
00:02:39,199 --> 00:02:41,159
And how are we looking
on the calendars?
67
00:02:41,201 --> 00:02:43,441
I think we've got
some really sexy options.
68
00:02:43,483 --> 00:02:45,683
Oh, Joycie,
I pulled off the lady quotes.
69
00:02:45,725 --> 00:02:49,089
So now it's just thick
and juicy slices of beefcake.
70
00:02:50,730 --> 00:02:52,370
Yum.
71
00:02:59,219 --> 00:03:01,099
What the hell was that?
72
00:03:01,141 --> 00:03:03,821
We've got
Rolling Stone posted up,
73
00:03:03,863 --> 00:03:07,024
and all of a sudden
you decide to respect me?
74
00:03:07,066 --> 00:03:08,786
Well, I-I don't--
I don't know what you mean.
75
00:03:10,670 --> 00:03:12,510
Come on, Prigger, please.
76
00:03:12,552 --> 00:03:14,392
What are you doing?
77
00:03:14,434 --> 00:03:16,194
This is our thing.
78
00:03:16,236 --> 00:03:17,555
We fight, we bang heads,
79
00:03:17,597 --> 00:03:19,317
but then we come together
and we make magic.
80
00:03:19,359 --> 00:03:21,519
It is very Minx-y.
81
00:03:21,561 --> 00:03:23,201
When did that become
an adjective?
82
00:03:23,243 --> 00:03:24,682
I just don't understand
why you're trying
83
00:03:24,724 --> 00:03:26,444
to bore this reporter
out of a story.
84
00:03:26,486 --> 00:03:29,567
Do you have any idea
who Simon Michaels is?
85
00:03:29,609 --> 00:03:31,649
Y-you-you've brought death
to our door.
86
00:03:31,691 --> 00:03:34,612
Okay, this guy,
he writes searing exposés.
87
00:03:34,654 --> 00:03:36,013
He uncovers malfeasance.
88
00:03:36,055 --> 00:03:37,815
He topples despots.
89
00:03:37,857 --> 00:03:40,258
Last I checked, you are not
a third world dictator, Joyce.
90
00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:41,619
I think we'll be okay.
91
00:03:41,661 --> 00:03:43,301
Yeah, well, still,
one never knows
92
00:03:43,343 --> 00:03:45,143
what's going
to bring 'em down, you know?
93
00:03:45,185 --> 00:03:46,704
Have you read a word
about Nixon?
94
00:03:46,746 --> 00:03:49,347
He's the president
of the United States.
95
00:03:49,389 --> 00:03:51,509
We publish a dick mag.
96
00:03:51,551 --> 00:03:52,790
Although right now,
97
00:03:52,832 --> 00:03:54,632
I don't know
who's more paranoid.
98
00:03:54,674 --> 00:03:56,874
In just six months,
sales are through the roof.
99
00:03:56,916 --> 00:03:59,157
Okay, writers beg
to contribute.
100
00:03:59,199 --> 00:04:01,559
We're on top.
I mean, come on, why risk that?
101
00:04:01,601 --> 00:04:05,323
Because, Joycie, if we get
on the cover of Rolling Stone,
102
00:04:05,365 --> 00:04:08,286
it'll launch us
to outer fucking space.
103
00:04:08,328 --> 00:04:10,248
No--you mean launch Beyond.
104
00:04:10,290 --> 00:04:11,329
Okay? I'm not an idiot.
105
00:04:11,371 --> 00:04:13,291
I'm not risking Minx
106
00:04:13,333 --> 00:04:16,013
just so you can give
your pet project a boost.
107
00:04:16,055 --> 00:04:17,455
So this is about jealousy?
108
00:04:17,497 --> 00:04:19,777
Oh, my God, no.
I'm very... I'm very happy
109
00:04:19,819 --> 00:04:21,339
for you and your new
celebrity friend--
110
00:04:21,381 --> 00:04:22,700
My editor, Joyce,
111
00:04:22,742 --> 00:04:24,061
Carl Sagan.
112
00:04:24,103 --> 00:04:26,023
Yeah, that kind of press
is a distraction.
113
00:04:26,065 --> 00:04:28,466
And what was that hatchet job
you did on my calendar?
114
00:04:28,508 --> 00:04:30,067
There it is.
So you were pissed.
115
00:04:30,109 --> 00:04:31,709
Doug, I spent hours curating
116
00:04:31,751 --> 00:04:33,751
this-this treasure trove
of feminist witticisms.
117
00:04:33,793 --> 00:04:35,673
It pulled focus
from the schlongs.
118
00:04:35,715 --> 00:04:37,635
Schlongs without context
are just schlongs, okay?
119
00:04:37,677 --> 00:04:39,157
It's the quotes
that make them Minx-y.
120
00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:40,398
God damn it.
121
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,560
There it is, kid!
There's the pepper!
122
00:04:42,602 --> 00:04:44,242
Where was that in the meeting?
123
00:04:45,725 --> 00:04:46,924
- Okay.
- We gotta go.
124
00:04:46,966 --> 00:04:48,406
Hey, and remember
Grandma's picking you up
125
00:04:48,448 --> 00:04:50,328
after school
for the sleepover today, okay?
126
00:04:50,370 --> 00:04:52,290
And if she pops
that second jug of wine,
127
00:04:52,332 --> 00:04:53,731
I want you to call.
128
00:04:53,773 --> 00:04:55,893
Well, Tommy has
a standing order
129
00:04:55,935 --> 00:04:57,495
to water down the Carlo Rossi
after 9:00.
130
00:04:57,537 --> 00:04:59,217
Oh, and don't worry
about going to the store.
131
00:04:59,259 --> 00:05:01,098
-I have time today.
-No way.
132
00:05:01,140 --> 00:05:03,181
You got enough
on your plate as hostess.
133
00:05:03,223 --> 00:05:04,302
And besides, I want
to make sure that you have
134
00:05:04,344 --> 00:05:06,103
plenty of energy for later.
135
00:05:06,145 --> 00:05:07,505
Oh, excuse me.
136
00:05:07,547 --> 00:05:09,227
Mm-hmm.
137
00:05:11,030 --> 00:05:12,790
Mm.
138
00:05:12,832 --> 00:05:14,792
I have a test first period.
139
00:05:14,834 --> 00:05:16,794
Okay.
All right, get out of here.
140
00:05:16,836 --> 00:05:18,676
All right.
141
00:05:18,718 --> 00:05:20,998
Well, well,
good morning, lovebirds.
142
00:05:22,642 --> 00:05:25,243
Hey, Harold and I were
wondering if you had
143
00:05:25,285 --> 00:05:28,286
a couple spots open at your
table for dinner tonight.
144
00:05:28,328 --> 00:05:30,248
You guys throw
the best parties.
145
00:05:30,290 --> 00:05:31,689
Right, Harold?
146
00:05:31,731 --> 00:05:33,491
Driving the bus today, Lenny?
147
00:05:33,533 --> 00:05:35,413
Must be in the doghouse.
148
00:05:35,455 --> 00:05:36,614
Nope, just, uh,
149
00:05:36,656 --> 00:05:38,055
enjoy spending time
with my children.
150
00:05:39,499 --> 00:05:41,098
I'm so sorry--
even with the leaf,
151
00:05:41,140 --> 00:05:42,260
we can only fit eight.
152
00:05:42,302 --> 00:05:43,701
Maybe next time?
153
00:05:43,743 --> 00:05:45,823
Okay.
154
00:05:47,707 --> 00:05:49,347
You had one line, Harold.
155
00:05:49,389 --> 00:05:51,509
One.
156
00:05:52,872 --> 00:05:54,432
And this is where Richie sits.
157
00:05:54,474 --> 00:05:55,553
He used to be in the studio,
158
00:05:55,595 --> 00:05:57,194
but then
Life magazine called him
159
00:05:57,236 --> 00:05:59,397
"America's Picasso
of the Pecker."
160
00:05:59,439 --> 00:06:02,400
So, I gave him a work station
and two assistants.
161
00:06:02,442 --> 00:06:04,041
And over here is Tina.
162
00:06:04,083 --> 00:06:05,843
She got to choose
her own carpet.
163
00:06:05,885 --> 00:06:07,965
She went with the short pile
'cause she's classy.
164
00:06:08,007 --> 00:06:09,767
Is that you right there?
165
00:06:09,809 --> 00:06:10,888
Yeah.
166
00:06:10,930 --> 00:06:13,170
That was
from before my CFO days.
167
00:06:13,212 --> 00:06:14,452
You went from nude model
168
00:06:14,494 --> 00:06:15,653
to Chief Financial Officer?
169
00:06:15,695 --> 00:06:17,335
Chief Fun Officer.
170
00:06:17,377 --> 00:06:19,056
Yours sounds made-up.
171
00:06:19,098 --> 00:06:20,858
Also, I'm still
centerfold coordinating,
172
00:06:20,900 --> 00:06:22,420
which is a real job.
173
00:06:22,462 --> 00:06:24,542
But I'm looking
for my next gig here.
174
00:06:24,584 --> 00:06:26,824
Just waiting
for the stars to align.
175
00:06:26,866 --> 00:06:28,586
Speaking of stars,
176
00:06:28,628 --> 00:06:30,027
who do we have here?
177
00:06:30,069 --> 00:06:32,270
Astrologer, cosmetologist,
178
00:06:32,312 --> 00:06:35,473
and Beyond magazine's
editor emeritus,
179
00:06:35,515 --> 00:06:37,395
Mr. Carl Sagan.
180
00:06:37,437 --> 00:06:38,516
Hello.
181
00:06:38,558 --> 00:06:39,997
I'm almost none
of those things.
182
00:06:40,039 --> 00:06:41,319
Okay, bye, guys.
183
00:06:41,361 --> 00:06:43,080
Bye, Annie.
184
00:06:43,122 --> 00:06:45,124
Do you know where I could
find Joyce Prigger?
185
00:06:54,894 --> 00:06:56,133
You one of those people
who can only write
186
00:06:56,175 --> 00:06:57,535
in the midst of chaos?
187
00:06:59,939 --> 00:07:01,058
Here you go.
188
00:07:01,100 --> 00:07:03,102
This should have
everything you need.
189
00:07:04,664 --> 00:07:06,584
Yeah, I-I think
I missed something.
190
00:07:06,626 --> 00:07:08,666
Oh, I wrote out
my answers in advance.
191
00:07:08,708 --> 00:07:10,107
Right, but I didn't
submit any questions.
192
00:07:10,149 --> 00:07:11,549
I've done dozens of interviews,
193
00:07:11,591 --> 00:07:14,033
and 95% of the questions
are exactly the same.
194
00:07:17,196 --> 00:07:19,196
Um, I'm so sorry.
What was your name again?
195
00:07:19,238 --> 00:07:20,798
Annie Leibovitz.
196
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,480
Right, okay, um, Ms. Leibovitz,
197
00:07:22,522 --> 00:07:23,841
could you please not
take my picture?
198
00:07:23,883 --> 00:07:25,603
It's her job.
199
00:07:25,645 --> 00:07:26,884
Well, I'm trying to do mine.
200
00:07:26,926 --> 00:07:29,647
And you have caught me
on a very busy day.
201
00:07:29,689 --> 00:07:31,369
- "Where do you get your ideas?"
- Mm-hmm.
202
00:07:31,411 --> 00:07:33,210
"How do you find your models?
203
00:07:33,252 --> 00:07:35,052
What does your boyfriend think
about your job?"
204
00:07:35,094 --> 00:07:37,455
On that last one,
I push back firmly but gently.
205
00:07:37,497 --> 00:07:39,657
I would never ask
that question.
206
00:07:39,699 --> 00:07:40,978
Well, you'd be the first.
207
00:07:41,020 --> 00:07:42,580
Then why don't you let me be?
208
00:07:42,622 --> 00:07:44,782
Talk to me about your book.
That's a big advance.
209
00:07:44,824 --> 00:07:46,063
Wh-what are you spending it on?
210
00:07:46,105 --> 00:07:47,905
Uh, T-bills and a new condo.
211
00:07:47,947 --> 00:07:50,307
Page three, halfway down.
212
00:07:50,349 --> 00:07:51,469
And if you'll excuse me,
213
00:07:51,511 --> 00:07:52,830
it looks like I'm needed
in a meeting.
214
00:07:54,193 --> 00:07:55,192
I'm getting a bounce.
215
00:07:55,234 --> 00:07:57,395
That's dead skin.
216
00:07:57,437 --> 00:07:58,716
Son of a bitch.
217
00:07:58,758 --> 00:07:59,997
Pumice.
218
00:08:03,082 --> 00:08:05,084
Hey, Turtleneck, pumice stone.
219
00:08:08,247 --> 00:08:09,326
Technically not a stone.
220
00:08:09,368 --> 00:08:11,529
It's a mineral slurry.
221
00:08:11,571 --> 00:08:13,651
There's my handsome genius.
222
00:08:13,693 --> 00:08:14,772
Hey, you want
something to drink?
223
00:08:14,814 --> 00:08:15,973
A Fanta? You wanna get high?
224
00:08:16,015 --> 00:08:17,655
Richie's got some great grass.
225
00:08:17,697 --> 00:08:19,497
Forty-five minute drive
to Syracuse,
226
00:08:19,539 --> 00:08:21,779
two connecting flights
in coach,
227
00:08:21,821 --> 00:08:23,421
all for an interview that
doesn't seem to be happening.
228
00:08:23,463 --> 00:08:25,262
Oh, it's happening.
It is happening.
229
00:08:25,304 --> 00:08:27,064
Believe me, believe me.
When I told this reporter
230
00:08:27,106 --> 00:08:28,546
you were here,
he flipped his lid.
231
00:08:28,588 --> 00:08:29,867
Betrayed none
of that excitement
232
00:08:29,909 --> 00:08:30,988
-in our brief encounter.
-Oh, he's just nervous.
233
00:08:31,030 --> 00:08:33,070
He is beyond excited.
234
00:08:33,112 --> 00:08:35,072
Beyond.
235
00:08:35,114 --> 00:08:36,914
Okay. I would like to get high.
236
00:08:36,956 --> 00:08:38,115
Okay, good.
237
00:08:45,044 --> 00:08:47,765
Why are there
so many tumbleweeds?
238
00:08:47,807 --> 00:08:49,767
I asked you earlier.
You said more.
239
00:08:49,809 --> 00:08:51,208
I meant metaphorically.
240
00:08:51,250 --> 00:08:53,931
This is supposed to be
a lone tumbleweed.
241
00:08:53,973 --> 00:08:56,654
Well, you're not gonna
like that.
242
00:08:56,696 --> 00:08:57,895
- Oh, my God.
- Babes...
243
00:08:57,937 --> 00:09:00,418
Wait, wait.
Can someone kill the fan?
244
00:09:00,460 --> 00:09:02,099
- What?
- The models are upset.
245
00:09:02,141 --> 00:09:04,301
Good. The concept is
Dudes in Distress.
246
00:09:04,343 --> 00:09:06,345
No, they're model upset.
247
00:09:07,386 --> 00:09:09,667
The only way I can transform
into character
248
00:09:09,709 --> 00:09:11,669
is to know who tied me up.
249
00:09:11,711 --> 00:09:12,830
What's my moment before?
250
00:09:12,872 --> 00:09:14,071
Plus, my cock's
gonna look smaller
251
00:09:14,113 --> 00:09:15,473
if I'm further away.
252
00:09:15,515 --> 00:09:17,154
Even though
we all know it's not.
253
00:09:17,196 --> 00:09:19,437
Okay, everyone take five.
254
00:09:19,479 --> 00:09:21,639
And can someone give the talent
some umbrellas, please?
255
00:09:21,681 --> 00:09:23,683
Robert, Charlie.
256
00:09:25,444 --> 00:09:27,605
I hear we're having
model drama.
257
00:09:27,647 --> 00:09:30,127
Brando over here
is requesting special makeup.
258
00:09:30,169 --> 00:09:32,970
He's convinced his character
would be uncircumcised.
259
00:09:33,012 --> 00:09:35,132
Well, he's not wrong
from a historical perspective.
260
00:09:35,174 --> 00:09:37,254
But, uh, that's not
the problem here, right?
261
00:09:37,296 --> 00:09:38,536
The setup is not working.
262
00:09:38,578 --> 00:09:40,057
I know. Something's missing.
263
00:09:40,099 --> 00:09:41,979
-I just don't know what it is.
-It's not tumbleweeds.
264
00:09:42,021 --> 00:09:43,661
Okay, I thought
the "lone" was implied.
265
00:09:43,703 --> 00:09:45,705
Right, yes.
266
00:09:48,027 --> 00:09:49,547
How about this?
267
00:09:49,589 --> 00:09:51,188
You move on
to your secondary setups,
268
00:09:51,230 --> 00:09:52,790
and then by the time
we're ready for our centrefold,
269
00:09:52,832 --> 00:09:55,272
I will have a fix.
270
00:09:55,314 --> 00:09:56,353
Okay.
271
00:09:57,837 --> 00:10:00,437
You know, I'm not one
to comment on creative,
272
00:10:00,479 --> 00:10:02,520
but this all seems a bit--
273
00:10:02,562 --> 00:10:03,721
Off. Yes, I know.
274
00:10:03,763 --> 00:10:05,122
-We're handling it.
-Yeah.
275
00:10:05,164 --> 00:10:07,525
I just don't want
to lose sight of our audience.
276
00:10:07,567 --> 00:10:10,928
I mean, Minx is a very
successful women's magazine.
277
00:10:10,970 --> 00:10:13,250
And this, two men together,
278
00:10:13,292 --> 00:10:15,653
I feel like this puts
a target on our back.
279
00:10:15,695 --> 00:10:17,174
A target?
280
00:10:17,216 --> 00:10:19,056
Well, there's
a whisper campaign
281
00:10:19,098 --> 00:10:22,259
that a good number
of our readers are homosexuals.
282
00:10:22,301 --> 00:10:23,901
Oh. Right, yeah.
283
00:10:23,943 --> 00:10:26,223
But, I don't know,
isn't it better if our work
284
00:10:26,265 --> 00:10:28,385
is interesting to all kinds
of different people?
285
00:10:28,427 --> 00:10:31,468
I mean, in an ideal world,
but we have advertisers
286
00:10:31,510 --> 00:10:34,672
that are paying specifically
to reach women.
287
00:10:34,714 --> 00:10:37,034
Let's not give them a reason
to question that.
288
00:10:37,076 --> 00:10:38,716
I will take care of it.
289
00:10:38,758 --> 00:10:40,077
I have complete confidence
in you.
290
00:10:42,081 --> 00:10:43,961
Doug wanted me to tell you
he solved the problem
291
00:10:44,003 --> 00:10:45,362
with the glow-in-the-dark mugs.
292
00:10:45,404 --> 00:10:47,404
He doesn't need you.
293
00:10:47,446 --> 00:10:49,366
The what?
294
00:10:49,408 --> 00:10:51,689
Why am I just hearing about
glow-in-the-dark mugs now?
295
00:10:51,731 --> 00:10:53,170
And who drinks coffee
in the dark?
296
00:10:53,212 --> 00:10:54,572
No one,
because it doesn't work.
297
00:10:54,614 --> 00:10:55,813
Consider it dead.
Here, go ahead with your day.
298
00:10:55,855 --> 00:10:56,854
-What?
-No, no, you're having a really
299
00:10:56,896 --> 00:10:58,215
-busy day.
-What are you doing?
300
00:10:58,257 --> 00:10:59,256
-You just go do your thing.
-Is that Carl Sa--
301
00:10:59,298 --> 00:11:00,658
- No, no, no, no.
- Doug!
302
00:11:00,700 --> 00:11:02,219
Simon, can I talk
to you for a second?
303
00:11:02,261 --> 00:11:04,181
Come on in.
Carl, hit the lights, please.
304
00:11:04,223 --> 00:11:05,623
- I should probably--
- I agree.
305
00:11:05,665 --> 00:11:07,224
Black holes,
306
00:11:07,266 --> 00:11:09,987
infinitely dense,
307
00:11:10,029 --> 00:11:13,150
but exponentially fascinating.
308
00:11:13,192 --> 00:11:14,872
Oh, sweet Jesus.
309
00:11:17,036 --> 00:11:18,876
-Where's Simon?
-He's in there with Doug.
310
00:11:18,918 --> 00:11:20,558
I just got used
as reporter bait.
311
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:21,719
You need to talk to him.
312
00:11:21,761 --> 00:11:23,160
Oh, God, you too?
313
00:11:23,202 --> 00:11:24,762
I have enough on my plate
without Jann Wenner
314
00:11:24,804 --> 00:11:26,123
calling me complaining.
315
00:11:26,165 --> 00:11:27,484
We agreed
to let Rolling Stone do
316
00:11:27,526 --> 00:11:29,206
a feature about Bottom Dollar.
317
00:11:29,248 --> 00:11:31,248
You've got to give them
an angle.
318
00:11:31,290 --> 00:11:33,613
The point of view of the woman
at the centre of it all.
319
00:11:34,934 --> 00:11:36,694
You're right.
320
00:11:36,736 --> 00:11:38,976
Point of view is everything.
321
00:11:39,018 --> 00:11:40,177
Yeah, right, okay.
322
00:11:40,219 --> 00:11:41,779
Um, I'll talk to Simon,
323
00:11:41,821 --> 00:11:44,622
but in return,
I'm gonna need some horses.
324
00:11:44,664 --> 00:11:45,983
How many horses?
325
00:11:46,025 --> 00:11:47,144
- Four.
- One.
326
00:11:47,186 --> 00:11:48,545
-Three?
-One.
327
00:11:48,587 --> 00:11:50,588
Fine, one, but no Clydesdales.
328
00:11:50,630 --> 00:11:52,469
They're too cloppy.
329
00:11:52,511 --> 00:11:53,550
I was gonna give you two.
330
00:11:53,592 --> 00:11:55,594
-Is it too late to--
-Yes.
331
00:11:57,036 --> 00:11:59,116
Hello.
332
00:12:01,641 --> 00:12:04,281
Richie.
333
00:12:04,323 --> 00:12:06,123
You need to take better care
of yourself.
334
00:12:06,165 --> 00:12:07,204
Here.
335
00:12:07,246 --> 00:12:09,248
OJ and speed.
336
00:12:10,930 --> 00:12:12,249
I had an interesting chat
337
00:12:12,291 --> 00:12:14,732
with one of our cowboys
earlier.
338
00:12:14,774 --> 00:12:15,813
Which one?
339
00:12:15,855 --> 00:12:18,135
The one you slept with.
340
00:12:18,177 --> 00:12:19,176
More specific?
341
00:12:19,218 --> 00:12:20,698
Richie.
342
00:12:20,740 --> 00:12:22,980
At the same time?
343
00:12:23,022 --> 00:12:24,782
When all the doors
finally open up for you,
344
00:12:24,824 --> 00:12:26,103
it's kind of hard
not to go through them.
345
00:12:26,145 --> 00:12:27,304
Been there.
346
00:12:27,346 --> 00:12:28,465
When Elvis pulled me
347
00:12:28,507 --> 00:12:29,867
out of that audience
in seventh grade,
348
00:12:29,909 --> 00:12:31,949
it was the start
of a fun few years.
349
00:12:31,991 --> 00:12:34,391
Then I cleaned up my act,
and look at him now.
350
00:12:34,433 --> 00:12:36,393
Slurring his words
in a sequinned cape
351
00:12:36,435 --> 00:12:37,915
on a sad Vegas stage.
352
00:12:37,957 --> 00:12:39,156
I don't want that for you.
353
00:12:39,198 --> 00:12:41,038
I know.
354
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:42,840
But we get invited
355
00:12:42,882 --> 00:12:45,362
to all these amazing events
every single night,
356
00:12:45,404 --> 00:12:48,325
and I can't believe
I get to be a part of it.
357
00:12:48,367 --> 00:12:49,807
Linda Ronstadt is having
358
00:12:49,849 --> 00:12:51,689
a private
listening party tonight.
359
00:12:51,731 --> 00:12:53,090
How can I skip that?
360
00:12:53,132 --> 00:12:55,773
Linda's having a moment,
and so are you.
361
00:12:55,815 --> 00:12:58,175
But Linda is still
putting out music,
362
00:12:58,217 --> 00:13:00,978
and you can't get your butt
through one photo shoot.
363
00:13:01,020 --> 00:13:03,380
You know you need to lay low
every once in a while.
364
00:13:03,422 --> 00:13:04,702
Rein it in, buddy.
365
00:13:09,348 --> 00:13:11,308
I had nothing to do with that.
366
00:13:32,732 --> 00:13:33,731
That's right.
367
00:13:33,773 --> 00:13:34,692
And when you look at them,
368
00:13:34,734 --> 00:13:36,253
more powerful, please.
369
00:13:36,295 --> 00:13:37,414
More anguish.
370
00:13:43,262 --> 00:13:45,302
You squared the circle.
371
00:13:45,344 --> 00:13:47,346
Well done.
372
00:13:54,994 --> 00:13:56,714
It was missing a point of view.
373
00:13:56,756 --> 00:13:58,798
Needed a way in
for the audience.
374
00:14:00,239 --> 00:14:01,318
She speaks.
375
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:02,519
Please, don't stop.
376
00:14:02,561 --> 00:14:04,441
Maybe she's there
to rescue them.
377
00:14:04,483 --> 00:14:07,204
Maybe she's there
to torment them.
378
00:14:07,246 --> 00:14:09,727
All we know is that
she has the power.
379
00:14:09,769 --> 00:14:11,929
What'd you have to do to get
a horse here in 30 minutes?
380
00:14:11,971 --> 00:14:13,973
Talk to you.
381
00:14:14,613 --> 00:14:15,973
Uh-huh.
382
00:14:16,015 --> 00:14:17,174
-All right.
-Not what I thought of
383
00:14:17,216 --> 00:14:18,816
when you said supply closet.
384
00:14:18,858 --> 00:14:21,058
Work here long enough, this
becomes Wite-Out and staplers.
385
00:14:21,100 --> 00:14:22,339
You know, you've been doing
386
00:14:22,381 --> 00:14:24,181
an inelegant job
of avoiding me.
387
00:14:24,223 --> 00:14:25,502
I wasn't trying to hide it.
388
00:14:25,544 --> 00:14:26,824
I'd think you'd be
a little less squeamish
389
00:14:26,866 --> 00:14:28,265
for all the press you've done.
390
00:14:28,307 --> 00:14:29,747
Those were puff pieces, okay?
391
00:14:29,789 --> 00:14:32,109
We both know
that a shrewd journalist,
392
00:14:32,151 --> 00:14:34,952
someone who, I don't know,
say, interviewed Idi Amin,
393
00:14:34,994 --> 00:14:37,514
can take any little detail
about a powerful woman,
394
00:14:37,556 --> 00:14:39,356
and then use it against her.
395
00:14:39,398 --> 00:14:41,678
Okay, you know,
I-I raise my voice,
396
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,600
"Abusive Bitch Claws Her Way
to the Top."
397
00:14:43,642 --> 00:14:45,763
I wear my heels too high,
398
00:14:45,805 --> 00:14:47,684
"Conniving Slut Sleeps Her Way
to the Middle."
399
00:14:47,726 --> 00:14:48,966
Look, I get it.
400
00:14:49,008 --> 00:14:50,367
We all want
to control the narrative.
401
00:14:50,409 --> 00:14:52,249
But you're leaving me
to fill in the blanks.
402
00:14:52,291 --> 00:14:54,731
Mm-hmm, and what is it
that you think you see?
403
00:14:54,773 --> 00:14:56,253
- Honestly?
- Mm-hmm.
404
00:14:56,295 --> 00:14:57,855
A woman gripping
the wheel so tight
405
00:14:57,897 --> 00:14:59,899
her fingers are about
to snap off.
406
00:15:00,619 --> 00:15:02,099
So what,
407
00:15:02,141 --> 00:15:04,421
"Skittish Control Freak Refuses
to Have Fun"?
408
00:15:04,463 --> 00:15:06,503
Nah, Joyce, listen.
I-I didn't come here
409
00:15:06,545 --> 00:15:08,826
to write about Bottom Dollar
or Minx.
410
00:15:08,868 --> 00:15:10,467
I came here to write about you.
411
00:15:10,509 --> 00:15:12,309
Because I think we're in
the middle of a revolution,
412
00:15:12,351 --> 00:15:13,791
and I thought you were
at the centre of it.
413
00:15:13,833 --> 00:15:16,193
But you're just watching
from the sidelines.
414
00:15:16,235 --> 00:15:17,594
Okay, come on.
We're journalists.
415
00:15:17,636 --> 00:15:19,116
Observing is our job.
416
00:15:19,158 --> 00:15:20,557
Yeah, and sometimes
we can chase a story
417
00:15:20,599 --> 00:15:22,601
only to realise
there's nothing there.
418
00:15:25,164 --> 00:15:26,804
Uh, I...
419
00:15:26,846 --> 00:15:28,325
okay.
420
00:15:30,809 --> 00:15:32,249
I'm so glad you finally
421
00:15:32,291 --> 00:15:33,690
sat down
with our friend, Simon.
422
00:15:33,732 --> 00:15:35,772
I'm sure it went swimmingly.
423
00:15:35,814 --> 00:15:37,774
Yes, very, very well.
424
00:15:37,816 --> 00:15:39,656
Well, I know you were hesitant
to do the interview,
425
00:15:39,698 --> 00:15:41,899
but you did it
because you understand
426
00:15:41,941 --> 00:15:44,461
the value of visibility.
427
00:15:44,503 --> 00:15:46,743
I was always more comfortable
in the shadows.
428
00:15:46,785 --> 00:15:48,345
It's safer there.
429
00:15:48,387 --> 00:15:50,908
Well, the world does love
to watch a strong woman fall.
430
00:15:50,950 --> 00:15:54,671
Which is why it's so important
that they watch you succeed.
431
00:15:54,713 --> 00:15:55,913
Mm?
432
00:15:55,955 --> 00:15:57,794
I'm proud of you
for taking that risk.
433
00:15:57,836 --> 00:15:59,476
I can't wait to read it.
434
00:16:06,886 --> 00:16:08,205
Hey.
435
00:16:08,247 --> 00:16:10,127
I just had
an interesting conversation
436
00:16:10,169 --> 00:16:11,688
with one
of our Rolling Stone friends.
437
00:16:11,730 --> 00:16:13,210
Which one?
438
00:16:13,252 --> 00:16:15,572
The one you were rude to.
439
00:16:15,614 --> 00:16:16,693
More specific.
440
00:16:16,735 --> 00:16:18,055
Joyce.
441
00:16:18,097 --> 00:16:19,216
At the same time?
442
00:16:19,258 --> 00:16:20,417
What?
443
00:16:20,459 --> 00:16:22,900
No, it--I...
444
00:16:22,942 --> 00:16:25,262
look, when the world
is knocking at your door,
445
00:16:25,304 --> 00:16:28,305
it's very hard not to put up
a wall... with spikes.
446
00:16:28,347 --> 00:16:30,747
Okay, listen, I get it.
447
00:16:30,789 --> 00:16:33,110
Okay? You're having a moment.
448
00:16:33,152 --> 00:16:34,471
But there's more to this job
449
00:16:34,513 --> 00:16:36,393
than just putting out
a magazine.
450
00:16:36,435 --> 00:16:38,755
You're like the front woman
of a band,
451
00:16:38,797 --> 00:16:40,477
if bands had front women.
452
00:16:40,519 --> 00:16:41,798
You need to take
453
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:43,080
a night every once in a while
454
00:16:43,122 --> 00:16:45,402
and just have
a little fun, okay?
455
00:16:45,444 --> 00:16:46,763
I know you're that person too.
456
00:16:46,805 --> 00:16:49,086
Am I, though? Am I fun?
457
00:16:49,128 --> 00:16:51,328
For a successful person
with a big job,
458
00:16:51,370 --> 00:16:53,532
I'd say that you're...
pretty fun.
459
00:16:55,534 --> 00:16:57,774
You know, we do get invited
to a lot of cool stuff.
460
00:16:57,816 --> 00:17:00,537
Now's your chance to show Simon
that you're not just spikes.
461
00:17:00,579 --> 00:17:02,619
It was touch and go
at the start,
462
00:17:02,661 --> 00:17:05,262
a-and then ol' Carl,
he really turned on the charm.
463
00:17:05,304 --> 00:17:08,265
Tins, by the end, it was like
Simon was almost in tears.
464
00:17:08,307 --> 00:17:10,267
A hostage situation
with a happy ending.
465
00:17:10,309 --> 00:17:11,828
Yeah, but that's
not even the best part.
466
00:17:11,870 --> 00:17:13,991
Carl was so happy
that he called his buddies
467
00:17:14,033 --> 00:17:16,994
over at NASA, a-and guess what?
468
00:17:17,036 --> 00:17:18,195
Beyond is going to be
469
00:17:18,237 --> 00:17:21,318
the official magazine
of Skylab.
470
00:17:21,360 --> 00:17:24,201
Look at you publishing
the first magazine in space.
471
00:17:24,243 --> 00:17:25,482
I'm gonna go
to Houston tomorrow,
472
00:17:25,524 --> 00:17:26,603
and I'm gonna seal the deal,
473
00:17:26,645 --> 00:17:27,804
and I want you to come with me.
474
00:17:27,846 --> 00:17:29,166
I want to turn it into
475
00:17:29,208 --> 00:17:31,288
a Doug and Tina
romantic weekend.
476
00:17:31,330 --> 00:17:33,170
Houston in July? Sounds sweaty.
477
00:17:33,212 --> 00:17:34,691
Think of this.
478
00:17:34,733 --> 00:17:38,495
The air-conditioned suite.
The pool.
479
00:17:38,537 --> 00:17:39,856
And if you play
your cards right,
480
00:17:39,898 --> 00:17:42,819
I'll take you on a day trip
to Galveston.
481
00:17:42,861 --> 00:17:44,101
All right, I'll come...
482
00:17:44,143 --> 00:17:45,902
if you finish
the Minx calendars.
483
00:17:45,944 --> 00:17:48,665
Bottom Dollar is going
interstellar, Tins.
484
00:17:48,707 --> 00:17:50,187
The calendars can wait.
485
00:17:50,229 --> 00:17:52,149
They're literally the most
time-sensitive product.
486
00:17:52,191 --> 00:17:54,351
You are killing me
with these calendars.
487
00:17:54,393 --> 00:17:57,354
I don't care about the merch.
I care about the magazines.
488
00:17:57,396 --> 00:17:59,556
And I know they call me
Mug Renetti behind my back
489
00:17:59,598 --> 00:18:01,438
like I'm some sort
of flea market peddler.
490
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,520
It hurts my feelings.
491
00:18:03,562 --> 00:18:05,722
We all have parts of our jobs
we don't like.
492
00:18:05,764 --> 00:18:07,164
- Yeah.
- Like reminding you
493
00:18:07,206 --> 00:18:08,925
to do your work,
494
00:18:08,967 --> 00:18:10,647
which is the job
of a secretary,
495
00:18:10,689 --> 00:18:12,129
if you kept one
for longer than a week.
496
00:18:12,171 --> 00:18:14,291
I would if one of 'em was
half as good as you,
497
00:18:14,333 --> 00:18:15,772
believe me,
but I can't find a good one.
498
00:18:15,814 --> 00:18:17,694
Hey, um, Doug, quick question.
499
00:18:17,736 --> 00:18:19,456
I hope it's not
about merchandise.
500
00:18:19,498 --> 00:18:21,298
Um, it's about the fires
in the parking lot.
501
00:18:21,340 --> 00:18:23,940
-What?
-Yeah, loose hay, smokers.
502
00:18:23,982 --> 00:18:25,984
Do you make a Minx ashtray?
503
00:18:28,027 --> 00:18:29,666
Glass or ceramic?
504
00:18:38,637 --> 00:18:40,117
We're all friends here.
505
00:18:40,159 --> 00:18:43,320
Some might say
the closest of friends.
506
00:18:43,362 --> 00:18:45,802
So I have to ask,
507
00:18:45,844 --> 00:18:50,169
which one of you had sex
with my husband in our house?
508
00:18:54,293 --> 00:18:56,295
No, I mean last month.
509
00:18:57,296 --> 00:18:59,576
Mm-hmm. Okay.
510
00:18:59,618 --> 00:19:01,978
What did we say about
loose-fitting jewellery, hmm?
511
00:19:02,020 --> 00:19:05,022
Come on, guys,
French clasps and studs only.
512
00:19:05,064 --> 00:19:07,304
We still have a toddler who
will put anything in her mouth.
513
00:19:07,346 --> 00:19:08,585
Sounds like Henrietta.
514
00:19:11,670 --> 00:19:13,110
Sorry, Shelly.
515
00:19:13,152 --> 00:19:14,631
Oh, I mean Mistress Bella.
516
00:19:14,673 --> 00:19:16,593
I'll forgive it this time.
517
00:19:20,399 --> 00:19:24,361
Tonight, Bella LaRouche has
chosen a theme.
518
00:19:24,403 --> 00:19:26,683
Sadie Hawkins.
519
00:19:26,725 --> 00:19:29,928
Ladies choose their partners.
520
00:19:34,133 --> 00:19:35,732
Eeny...
521
00:19:35,774 --> 00:19:38,175
meeny...
522
00:19:38,217 --> 00:19:40,097
miny...
523
00:19:40,139 --> 00:19:42,899
miny...
524
00:19:42,941 --> 00:19:44,943
mine.
525
00:19:46,945 --> 00:19:49,668
Ugh, stop pouring that swill
immediately.
526
00:19:51,069 --> 00:19:55,031
A gift
from Charles de Gaulle to me,
527
00:19:55,073 --> 00:19:56,953
and now from me to you.
528
00:19:56,995 --> 00:19:59,318
I'll save my "Jacques Daniels"
for another day.
529
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,961
You know, I think you liked me
more when I was here less.
530
00:20:05,003 --> 00:20:06,763
I feel that way about everyone.
531
00:20:06,805 --> 00:20:08,285
Mm.
532
00:20:08,327 --> 00:20:10,887
If I overstepped this morning,
533
00:20:10,929 --> 00:20:12,489
I apologise.
534
00:20:12,531 --> 00:20:14,451
On the bright side,
you're the proud owner
535
00:20:14,493 --> 00:20:17,774
of 263 lightly used
tumbleweeds.
536
00:20:17,816 --> 00:20:21,978
You know, you're the only one
that Joyce and Doug listen to.
537
00:20:22,020 --> 00:20:25,662
And if powerful people listen
only to you,
538
00:20:25,704 --> 00:20:28,465
that means you're the one
with all the power.
539
00:20:28,507 --> 00:20:30,026
It only works
if no one notices.
540
00:20:30,068 --> 00:20:31,948
Hmm.
Well, how about you let me in
541
00:20:31,990 --> 00:20:34,551
on a few more secrets?
542
00:20:34,593 --> 00:20:36,913
I've been looking
into Minx's revenue projection
543
00:20:36,955 --> 00:20:39,476
for the next 24 months.
544
00:20:39,518 --> 00:20:41,638
What are your comps?
545
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:42,919
Nothing.
546
00:20:42,961 --> 00:20:44,201
Nothing?
547
00:20:44,243 --> 00:20:46,245
I had to create my own.
548
00:20:47,125 --> 00:20:51,688
These are sales
for every BDP title.
549
00:20:51,730 --> 00:20:53,450
Kung Fu Cuties.
550
00:20:53,492 --> 00:20:55,692
Feet! Feet! Feet!
551
00:20:55,734 --> 00:20:57,254
Yank My Doodle.
552
00:20:57,296 --> 00:20:59,095
Oh, vulgar and patriotic.
553
00:20:59,137 --> 00:21:01,057
All high floor, low ceiling.
554
00:21:01,099 --> 00:21:04,661
Dependable,
but marginal profit.
555
00:21:04,703 --> 00:21:07,264
Minx is different.
556
00:21:07,306 --> 00:21:10,147
If there's a ceiling,
I don't know where it is.
557
00:21:10,189 --> 00:21:13,230
That's the first time
I've seen you smile all day.
558
00:21:13,272 --> 00:21:16,072
Huge margins have
that effect on me.
559
00:21:16,114 --> 00:21:17,754
We're gonna get along
just fine.
560
00:21:24,082 --> 00:21:26,363
I haven't spent enough time
in the desert.
561
00:21:26,405 --> 00:21:28,605
You are making
a compelling case.
562
00:21:28,647 --> 00:21:30,247
You gotta come next time.
563
00:21:30,289 --> 00:21:32,048
There's always room on the bus.
564
00:21:32,090 --> 00:21:35,051
- We're on soon.
- Okay.
565
00:21:35,093 --> 00:21:36,213
How do you two know each other?
566
00:21:36,255 --> 00:21:37,774
Oh, come on.
How can you live in LA
567
00:21:37,816 --> 00:21:39,936
and not know Jackson Browne?
568
00:21:39,978 --> 00:21:41,218
Sure, sure.
569
00:21:41,260 --> 00:21:43,019
That was Glenn Frey.
570
00:21:43,061 --> 00:21:46,102
Of the Eagles.
571
00:21:46,144 --> 00:21:48,545
Joyce, I'm a reporter
for Rolling Stone.
572
00:21:48,587 --> 00:21:50,307
I know every person
in this place.
573
00:21:50,349 --> 00:21:51,668
Okay, if you're trying
to prove something,
574
00:21:51,710 --> 00:21:53,310
you picked
the wrong place to do it.
575
00:21:53,352 --> 00:21:55,432
Joyce Prigger,
as I live and breathe.
576
00:21:55,474 --> 00:21:57,674
Well, hello, Linda Ronstadt.
577
00:21:57,716 --> 00:21:59,636
- Richie sends his regard.
- Mwah.
578
00:21:59,678 --> 00:22:02,319
You and Simon Michaels.
579
00:22:02,361 --> 00:22:03,840
Don't tell this man anything.
580
00:22:03,882 --> 00:22:06,203
Don't worry, she hasn't.
581
00:22:06,245 --> 00:22:09,206
We've been having a raging
debate on the pay gap in music.
582
00:22:09,248 --> 00:22:11,087
Sonny and Cher are
in a bad place.
583
00:22:11,129 --> 00:22:12,689
We need your help.
584
00:22:12,731 --> 00:22:14,691
- I got you, babe.
- Okay.
585
00:22:14,733 --> 00:22:16,413
You get it?
You get that?
586
00:22:16,455 --> 00:22:18,455
I'm so glad we finally got you
out to one of these things.
587
00:22:18,497 --> 00:22:20,577
Me too, Linda.
588
00:22:20,619 --> 00:22:23,420
And as the black hole pulls
your body apart,
589
00:22:23,462 --> 00:22:28,225
galaxies form and explode
before you over the span
590
00:22:28,267 --> 00:22:32,749
of tens of thousands of years.
591
00:22:35,113 --> 00:22:38,114
Well, that is the fifth time
I've heard that today,
592
00:22:38,156 --> 00:22:40,397
and, uh...
593
00:22:40,439 --> 00:22:42,799
I still don't get it.
594
00:22:42,841 --> 00:22:44,881
Oh, you're so much
more fun to get high with
595
00:22:44,923 --> 00:22:47,406
than that drip, Arthur Miller.
596
00:22:50,609 --> 00:22:52,168
Oh, that's my cue.
597
00:22:52,210 --> 00:22:54,010
Burbank airport awaits.
598
00:22:54,052 --> 00:22:56,613
Well, guess who's
flying first class?
599
00:22:56,655 --> 00:22:58,975
She sprung for it,
all three legs.
600
00:22:59,017 --> 00:23:00,016
That's nice.
601
00:23:00,058 --> 00:23:02,060
Fly safe, my dear.
602
00:23:05,183 --> 00:23:07,023
Huh? Huh?
603
00:23:07,065 --> 00:23:09,185
He is a treasure.
604
00:23:09,227 --> 00:23:11,187
He's ours too. We've got him.
605
00:23:11,229 --> 00:23:12,549
Mm-hmm.
606
00:23:12,591 --> 00:23:14,671
If you like that,
I got another magazine idea
607
00:23:14,713 --> 00:23:16,112
that's gonna knock
your socks off.
608
00:23:16,154 --> 00:23:18,795
-Okay.
-It's about the working rich.
609
00:23:18,837 --> 00:23:20,517
I wanna call it Jetset.
610
00:23:20,559 --> 00:23:22,399
That's very niche.
611
00:23:22,441 --> 00:23:24,240
No, I say targeted.
612
00:23:24,282 --> 00:23:27,524
I think it's time that we start
streamlining operations,
613
00:23:27,566 --> 00:23:29,326
cut loose
some of the under-performers.
614
00:23:29,368 --> 00:23:31,370
Yeah, I agree.
615
00:23:32,170 --> 00:23:35,051
What, uh...
which ones are you thinking?
616
00:23:35,093 --> 00:23:36,693
-Kung Fu Cuties.
-Kung Fu Cuties.
617
00:23:36,735 --> 00:23:39,936
And Feet! Feet! Feet!
618
00:23:39,978 --> 00:23:41,980
- Really?
- Yeah.
619
00:23:42,981 --> 00:23:45,101
Well, that one stings,
I'm gonna be honest.
620
00:23:45,143 --> 00:23:47,544
This one's gonna
sting the most, then.
621
00:23:47,586 --> 00:23:50,108
I've decided to not
move forward with Beyond.
622
00:23:52,551 --> 00:23:55,231
Yeah.
623
00:23:55,273 --> 00:23:56,313
You're kidding me.
624
00:23:56,355 --> 00:23:57,594
No.
625
00:23:57,636 --> 00:24:00,118
But you just sent Carl
first class.
626
00:24:02,441 --> 00:24:04,761
You just sent Carl first class.
627
00:24:04,803 --> 00:24:07,444
The ceiling for science
is just not high,
628
00:24:07,486 --> 00:24:10,487
and it's a misuse
of our most valuable resource.
629
00:24:10,529 --> 00:24:11,728
Which would be what?
630
00:24:11,770 --> 00:24:13,370
You.
631
00:24:13,412 --> 00:24:16,933
Your merchandise has made
more money for this company
632
00:24:16,975 --> 00:24:20,216
in the last six months than
anything in its entire history.
633
00:24:20,258 --> 00:24:22,339
I could just do so much more,
I promise you.
634
00:24:22,381 --> 00:24:24,861
No, but I need you to come up
with more ideas,
635
00:24:24,903 --> 00:24:27,303
your big Renetti ideas,
636
00:24:27,345 --> 00:24:30,186
for Minx.
637
00:24:30,228 --> 00:24:31,788
-All right?
-Yeah, okay.
638
00:24:31,830 --> 00:24:33,710
Carl Sagan is not
the only genius
639
00:24:33,752 --> 00:24:36,192
that I got high with tonight.
640
00:24:36,234 --> 00:24:38,875
You know, they're calling you
Mug Renetti around the office.
641
00:24:38,917 --> 00:24:40,919
You're goddamn right, they are.
642
00:24:51,610 --> 00:24:54,010
I could never date a civilian.
643
00:24:54,052 --> 00:24:55,892
But I really shouldn't
date musicians either.
644
00:24:55,934 --> 00:24:58,174
So you have to find someone
that's close enough
645
00:24:58,216 --> 00:24:59,496
to what you do
that they get it...
646
00:24:59,538 --> 00:25:01,057
- Mm-hmm.
- But far enough away
647
00:25:01,099 --> 00:25:03,780
that they're cool riding
in the passenger seat.
648
00:25:03,822 --> 00:25:05,502
So I could date a musician.
649
00:25:05,544 --> 00:25:07,143
Only if you want herpes.
650
00:25:07,185 --> 00:25:08,304
Oh, my God.
651
00:25:08,346 --> 00:25:09,305
Linda, you're on, babe.
652
00:25:09,347 --> 00:25:11,349
-That's me.
-Okay.
653
00:25:16,114 --> 00:25:18,955
Oh, hi. Me? Um...
654
00:25:23,482 --> 00:25:25,484
Yes.
655
00:25:25,924 --> 00:25:28,044
Oh, fuck.
656
00:25:28,086 --> 00:25:29,566
That's like night coffee.
657
00:25:29,608 --> 00:25:30,687
All right.
658
00:25:30,729 --> 00:25:32,368
I am gonna play a few songs
659
00:25:32,410 --> 00:25:33,610
off the new album tonight.
660
00:25:33,652 --> 00:25:35,091
But I thought first,
661
00:25:35,133 --> 00:25:37,133
we could warm things up
with a little jam.
662
00:25:37,175 --> 00:25:39,335
So, Graham, get up here.
663
00:25:39,377 --> 00:25:41,778
Uh, JD, where is my baby?
664
00:25:41,820 --> 00:25:44,260
And--oh, Judee Sill,
I know you're mad at me,
665
00:25:44,302 --> 00:25:46,182
but I need you on guitar.
666
00:25:46,224 --> 00:25:47,984
And I need a volunteer
for shakers.
667
00:25:48,026 --> 00:25:49,345
Me!
668
00:25:49,387 --> 00:25:51,107
-Get up here, Joyce Prigger.
-Okay.
669
00:25:51,149 --> 00:25:52,909
Are you guys ready?
670
00:25:52,951 --> 00:25:54,953
First chair French horn.
671
00:26:10,008 --> 00:26:11,488
Don't finish yet.
672
00:26:11,530 --> 00:26:13,810
Hold it. Hold it.
673
00:26:13,852 --> 00:26:16,453
Wallace. Look at me.
674
00:26:16,495 --> 00:26:18,254
Not in the eyes.
675
00:26:18,296 --> 00:26:20,977
I said look away,
you little shit.
676
00:26:21,019 --> 00:26:22,539
Hey, Doug.
677
00:26:22,581 --> 00:26:23,940
Um, I took some initiative
678
00:26:23,982 --> 00:26:25,502
and finished
the Minx calendars for you.
679
00:26:25,544 --> 00:26:27,343
Oh, that's unexpected, Bambs.
680
00:26:27,385 --> 00:26:30,066
It's pretty complicated work
681
00:26:30,108 --> 00:26:32,110
to do all that stuff,
but, uh...
682
00:26:35,153 --> 00:26:37,273
-You did this?
-Yeah.
683
00:26:37,315 --> 00:26:38,835
- It's great.
- Thank you.
684
00:26:38,877 --> 00:26:40,316
You kept the pictures big,
685
00:26:40,358 --> 00:26:43,159
and you even got Joyce's
boring quotes in there, Bambs.
686
00:26:43,201 --> 00:26:45,281
Yeah, well,
the image is the real draw,
687
00:26:45,323 --> 00:26:47,163
so I put the quotes
in complimentary colours
688
00:26:47,205 --> 00:26:48,685
so they fade
into the background.
689
00:26:48,727 --> 00:26:50,847
It's excellent.
690
00:26:50,889 --> 00:26:52,448
I would like you to consider it
691
00:26:52,490 --> 00:26:55,051
my application
to be your secretary.
692
00:26:55,093 --> 00:26:57,854
If I'm gonna be Bottom Dollar
CFO for real someday,
693
00:26:57,896 --> 00:27:00,096
I need to apprentice
with the smartest man I know.
694
00:27:00,138 --> 00:27:01,658
And that's you.
695
00:27:01,700 --> 00:27:03,982
And Colonel Tom Parker,
but he's busy.
696
00:27:05,584 --> 00:27:07,586
Think about it.
697
00:27:12,470 --> 00:27:14,591
I'm really giving it
to her in there.
698
00:27:14,633 --> 00:27:16,793
Hey, Wallace is crying...
699
00:27:16,835 --> 00:27:18,675
in a good way.
700
00:27:43,742 --> 00:27:44,861
Great party tonight, hon.
701
00:27:44,903 --> 00:27:46,062
Mm.
702
00:27:46,104 --> 00:27:47,584
Don't stay up too late.
703
00:27:47,626 --> 00:27:50,506
Len, I was, um,
704
00:27:50,548 --> 00:27:52,869
thinking about going back
to Minx.
705
00:27:52,911 --> 00:27:55,431
Oh. It's about time.
706
00:28:08,406 --> 00:28:09,566
You know, you looked
dangerously close
707
00:28:09,608 --> 00:28:11,047
to having a good time tonight.
708
00:28:11,089 --> 00:28:14,450
Yeah, I think
that was the cocaine.
709
00:28:19,738 --> 00:28:22,498
Hey, I'm sorry
for torturing you today.
710
00:28:22,540 --> 00:28:24,300
I've actually been tortured.
711
00:28:24,342 --> 00:28:25,341
Today was fun.
712
00:28:25,383 --> 00:28:27,103
I met Carl Sagan.
713
00:28:29,307 --> 00:28:31,309
It's just...
714
00:28:33,191 --> 00:28:35,111
Look, a lot of the people
that you've profiled
715
00:28:35,153 --> 00:28:37,553
have then taken a fall.
716
00:28:37,595 --> 00:28:40,516
You mean the ones
with death camps.
717
00:28:40,558 --> 00:28:42,438
Yeah, and others.
718
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,482
I see.
719
00:28:48,446 --> 00:28:50,526
I've gotten
everything I've ever wanted,
720
00:28:50,568 --> 00:28:54,611
and it's happened
so fast, and...
721
00:28:54,653 --> 00:28:56,975
And now you're thinking,
what if you just got lucky?
722
00:28:58,937 --> 00:29:02,779
Like, what if I screw it up?
723
00:29:02,821 --> 00:29:05,381
And then it's just
all just gone again.
724
00:29:05,423 --> 00:29:07,545
What then?
725
00:29:09,147 --> 00:29:10,226
I mean, it's possible.
726
00:29:12,190 --> 00:29:14,791
But I have been
testing another theory.
727
00:29:14,833 --> 00:29:15,952
Yeah?
728
00:29:15,994 --> 00:29:17,513
Watching you,
729
00:29:17,555 --> 00:29:19,315
reading your magazines,
730
00:29:19,357 --> 00:29:21,960
talking to just about everyone
who knows you...
731
00:29:24,162 --> 00:29:27,043
...have you ever considered
that maybe
732
00:29:27,085 --> 00:29:29,207
you are exactly
where you belong?
733
00:29:31,129 --> 00:29:33,131
It's okay to like it.
