00:00:49,718 --> 00:00:51,219
[person 1] How did it all start?
2
00:00:52,095 --> 00:00:55,765
I mean,
my girls inspired the first Beanies.
3
00:01:06,610 --> 00:01:08,695
[person 2] I was employee number 12.
4
00:01:10,030 --> 00:01:14,492
Three years later, we were the most
profitable toy company in the world.
5
00:01:24,711 --> 00:01:28,548
[person 3] Ty would tell you
he did it all, but that's bullshit.
6
00:01:29,925 --> 00:01:32,052
We built that company together.
7
00:01:33,094 --> 00:01:34,221
From nothing.
8
00:01:39,559 --> 00:01:42,395
I mean, that's the whole point of America,
right?
9
00:01:42,395 --> 00:01:44,356
[car horns honking]
10
00:01:44,356 --> 00:01:48,109
[person 3] Work hard.
Build something good.
11
00:01:48,109 --> 00:01:53,990
Get yourself in the right place
at the right time, and boom.
12
00:01:53,990 --> 00:01:57,077
["Plainsong" playing]
13
00:03:45,393 --> 00:03:48,188
{\an8}[person 3] We didn't set out
to make America lose its mind,
14
00:03:49,940 --> 00:03:51,233
but that's what happened.
15
00:03:55,946 --> 00:03:58,823
Was it crazy
to turn stuffed animals into investments?
16
00:04:00,992 --> 00:04:02,994
[people clamoring]
17
00:04:07,207 --> 00:04:09,334
[exhales sharply] It was a crazy time.
18
00:04:12,837 --> 00:04:15,549
The Internet was new.
The Boomers were taking over.
19
00:04:15,549 --> 00:04:20,387
But we turned Beanie Babies
into little plush lotto tickets.
20
00:04:21,888 --> 00:04:25,141
At the peak of the bubble,
more than half the country owned one.
21
00:04:25,976 --> 00:04:30,605
Ty was the one with his name on the tag.
The one who made billions.
22
00:04:31,398 --> 00:04:33,692
But he couldn't have done it
without the three of us.
23
00:04:34,442 --> 00:04:37,821
-He didn't do it without the three of us.
- [all chanting] Ty! Ty! Ty!
24
00:04:37,821 --> 00:04:39,739
[person 3] So this story's not about him.
25
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,866
It's about us.

["Easier to Say (Than Do)" playing]
27
00:04:57,507 --> 00:04:58,842
[Robbie] I met Ty back in the '80s
28
00:04:58,842 --> 00:05:01,136
when we were living
in the same apartment building.
29
00:05:04,514 --> 00:05:07,183
[panting] Oh, God, not my husband!
30
00:05:07,183 --> 00:05:10,103
- Ma'am, I need you to just back up, okay?
- Oh, my God. Is this Billy?
31
00:05:10,103 --> 00:05:11,479
[breathing heavily]

33
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:14,441
Oh.
34
00:05:17,235 --> 00:05:18,361
Oh, shit.
35
00:05:25,493 --> 00:05:29,289
Billy... [sighs] ...did you take your meds?
36
00:05:29,789 --> 00:05:30,790
Huh?
37
00:05:32,208 --> 00:05:33,501
Did you take your meds today?
38
00:05:34,002 --> 00:05:35,003
Yeah.
39
00:05:36,421 --> 00:05:37,672
Did you pick up more Tab?
40
00:05:39,883 --> 00:05:40,884
Yeah.
41
00:05:43,803 --> 00:05:44,804

43
00:06:06,660 --> 00:06:09,496
- Hi.
- I'm so sorry for your loss.
44
00:06:09,996 --> 00:06:13,792
I baked this. [stammers]
45
00:06:13,792 --> 00:06:15,961
- Here, I'll just put it down for you.
- Yeah. Okay.
46
00:06:15,961 --> 00:06:18,338
[Robbie]
Yeah, it's a lasagna. Maybe just here?
47
00:06:18,338 --> 00:06:19,798

48
00:06:19,798 --> 00:06:20,882
Oh.
49
00:06:22,467 --> 00:06:24,344
- I'm not psycho. [chuckles]
- [chuckles]
50
00:06:24,844 --> 00:06:28,598
I, uh, dissect them
to see how they're made for work.
51
00:06:29,558 --> 00:06:32,519
Not for fun.
But to be honest, it is pretty fun.
52
00:06:32,519 --> 00:06:34,145
- [Robbie chuckles] Right.
- Mmm.
53
00:06:35,730 --> 00:06:37,816
My dad would say,
"You gotta make your own luck.
54
00:06:38,984 --> 00:06:42,571
You can't wait for your ship to come in,
Son. You gotta build your own ship."
55
00:06:42,571 --> 00:06:44,656
- That's what he would say.

- Oh, God, no.

who abandoned us years ago.

00:06:54,958 --> 00:06:56,710
Where was your dad for all this?
59
00:06:57,335 --> 00:06:58,712
On the road, selling toys.
60
00:06:59,796 --> 00:07:01,256
Oh, man. [sighs]
61
00:07:01,256 --> 00:07:03,300
It's okay. Was better that way.
62
00:07:03,842 --> 00:07:06,678
Otherwise he would be at home,
beating the crap out of me.
63

W-Wait. Oh-- I-- [exhales sharply]

00:07:11,099 --> 00:07:13,852
- I thought you two were so close.
- No. [slurps]

- Mm-mmm.
- [scoffs]
66
00:07:15,061 --> 00:07:17,856
The only time my dad was proud of me
67
00:07:18,690 --> 00:07:22,903
is when our girlfriend told him
how good I was in bed.
68
00:07:26,573 --> 00:07:28,658
-"Our girlfriend."
- Yeah, the same woman.
69

- You dated the same woman?
- No.
70
00:07:30,660 --> 00:07:31,995
- At the same time?
- No, not--
71
00:07:31,995 --> 00:07:36,041
- No, not always at the same time, no.
- [chuckles] Okay.
72
00:07:36,583 --> 00:07:38,376
Ooh. We're gonna need another.

My story started ten years later,
77
00:07:53,475 --> 00:07:56,228
when I first
walked into the offices of Ty Inc.

00:08:16,164 --> 00:08:18,166
- Oh, wow. You're serious.
- [receptionist] Mmm. Yeah.
83
00:08:18,166 --> 00:08:22,420
But the job's mainly the phones.
Four hours a day, plus some Saturdays.

00:08:23,004 --> 00:08:24,172

00:08:24,172 --> 00:08:26,967
- Yeah, I'm in school--
- [Ty, on intercom] Roberta, sweetie,
86
00:08:26,967 --> 00:08:29,803
you need to come tell me
which one of these looks like marigold.

You pressed "Intercom All" again. And no.

but the schedule's not a problem.

Tuition's tough these days, huh?
93
00:08:47,779 --> 00:08:50,282
I've got a scholarship. It's for rent.

my soul will soon be fully crushed.

Mmm. We pay minimum wage.
Not sure that's a salvation salary.

- What about you? What do you think?
103
00:09:14,723 --> 00:09:17,017
Oh, I'm not really a cat person.

00:09:17,017 --> 00:09:20,645
Are you an amazing things person?
Meow. [chuckles]
105

Yeah, I wouldn't go yellow at all.

- [Maya] Too mild.

These little punks wanna be tiger-striped.
108
00:09:28,820 --> 00:09:30,989
But wouldn't stripes make them
too convict-y?
109
00:09:30,989 --> 00:09:34,451
Well, cats are outlaws.
Convict-y is kinda their appeal.

00:09:34,451 --> 00:09:37,162
Yes. Hmm.

00:09:40,665 --> 00:09:42,459
Rose, what are you looking at?
113
00:09:44,586 --> 00:09:46,171
[Maya] We'll get to that later.
114
00:09:46,171 --> 00:09:47,923
Don't go anywhere. [sighs]

00:20:10,837 --> 00:20:12,422
'Cause I rocked at selling stuff.
334
00:20:15,258 --> 00:20:17,052
I killed it.
335
00:20:17,052 --> 00:20:19,471
- I raked in the orders.
- Oh, so soft.
336
00:20:19,471 --> 00:20:22,474
[Maya] For everything except Beanies.
337
00:20:23,683 --> 00:20:26,686
Their big launch was a total flop.
338
00:20:26,686 --> 00:20:28,980
For two years,
we couldn't sell any at all.
339
00:20:29,481 --> 00:20:31,149
It drove Ty crazy.
340
00:20:32,025 --> 00:20:33,485
What is this, a comic book stand?
341
00:20:33,485 --> 00:20:36,154
No, uh, Ty Inc. is all about
high-quality stuffed animals.
342
00:20:36,154 --> 00:20:37,781
None of them are looking at me.
343
00:20:37,781 --> 00:20:38,990
What?
344
00:20:38,990 --> 00:20:42,285
These animals are supposed to be
making tantalizing eye contact with me.
345
00:20:43,245 --> 00:20:44,955
They're supposed to be alluringly tweezed.
346
00:20:44,955 --> 00:20:46,665
Yeah, you should go blond more often, Ty.
347
00:20:46,665 --> 00:20:49,251
- It really brings out your cheekbones.
- Shh. I'm undercover.
348
00:20:50,669 --> 00:20:53,547
- Why aren't you wearing something sparkly?
- This is my version of sparkly.
349
00:20:54,756 --> 00:20:56,049
How are sales? [sighs]
350
00:20:56,049 --> 00:20:58,635
Good. Well, except for Beanies.
351
00:20:58,635 --> 00:21:01,137
Though there have been
a lot of requests for Woolly.
352
00:21:01,137 --> 00:21:03,890
Maya,
if you can't sell what we actually have,
353
00:21:03,890 --> 00:21:07,811
I'm gonna have to find someone that can.
Someone a little bit more focused.
354
00:21:09,271 --> 00:21:10,605
[breathes deeply]
355
00:21:10,605 --> 00:21:14,442
Hi. Uh, I'd like my regular order, uh,
plus a batch of those cheap little lambs.
356
00:21:14,442 --> 00:21:16,278
Uh, do you still have those?
357
00:21:18,238 --> 00:21:21,866
That design has been retired.
That was a special limited edition.
358
00:21:22,617 --> 00:21:24,578
- A what?
- A limited edition.
359
00:21:24,578 --> 00:21:27,372
If you still have some,
they're pretty valuable.
360
00:21:27,372 --> 00:21:31,084
You know, the first issue of Action Comics
sells for over a million dollars.
361
00:21:31,084 --> 00:21:32,419
[chuckles]
362
00:21:32,961 --> 00:21:35,964
Are any of these others,
uh, limited editions too?
363
00:21:35,964 --> 00:21:39,509
Yep. All the Beanie Babies are.
Be a good idea to stock up.
364
00:21:39,509 --> 00:21:41,928
{\an8}Okay. Put me down for five of each.

366
00:21:43,013 --> 00:21:46,016
Uncle Frank's Toys in Glenview, I know.
I got you.
367
00:21:46,016 --> 00:21:47,100
[Frank] Thank you.
368
00:21:51,104 --> 00:21:54,983
-"Retired." That's genius.
- Limited editions always get people.
369
00:21:54,983 --> 00:21:56,943
I love it. It's fantastic.
370
00:21:56,943 --> 00:21:58,862
Get this comic book off the table, please.
371
00:22:01,281 --> 00:22:04,868
So you're being an assistant
to some man selling worthless toys,
372
00:22:04,868 --> 00:22:07,037
instead of studying full-time
to be a surgeon?
373
00:22:07,037 --> 00:22:09,039
- Yep.
- [parent] Fascinating.
374
00:22:09,039 --> 00:22:10,332
After we sacrificed so much
375
00:22:10,332 --> 00:22:12,667
to come to a country
where women can do anything they want.
376
00:22:12,667 --> 00:22:15,587
Exactly.
Anything they want, not their parents.
377
00:22:15,587 --> 00:22:18,173
- And I'm still in school, don't freak.
- Do I look like a freaker?
378
00:22:18,173 --> 00:22:21,384
- I mean, you do kind of freak out--
- Not a word from you, mister. Mm-mmm.
379
00:22:21,384 --> 00:22:23,929
Okay, come on.
I don't have all day to help my daughter
380
00:22:23,929 --> 00:22:26,431
shatter her parents' hearts
into a thousand tiny pieces.
381
00:22:26,431 --> 00:22:31,436
- My new place is a mile away, Dad.
- 1,000 tiny, irreparable pieces.
382
00:22:33,146 --> 00:22:34,231
- So dramatic.
- [chuckles]
383

You wanna sell
high-end stuffed Himalayan cats?
384
00:22:42,405 --> 00:22:45,075
Understuffed, actually.
For greater posability.
385
00:22:45,075 --> 00:22:48,119
It's a revolutionary new design
that's going to electrify the market.
386
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,081
I assume you're aware
that the current economic conditions
387
00:22:51,081 --> 00:22:53,208
{\an8}are crippling stagnation,
388
00:22:53,208 --> 00:22:56,169
soaring inflation and record unemployment.
389
00:22:56,169 --> 00:22:59,756
Which makes this the perfect time
to sell a little joy.
390
00:23:00,590 --> 00:23:03,718
We're professionals.
We're giving the people what they need.
391
00:23:09,349 --> 00:23:10,892
I'll draw up the paperwork.

And just like that, Ty Inc. was born.

00:23:16,815 --> 00:23:17,899
[both chuckle]
395
00:23:18,775 --> 00:23:20,110
- [Ty] See here?
- [Robbie] Yeah.
396
00:23:20,110 --> 00:23:22,946
- [Ty] The threading is not--
- Well, you can see it right there.
397
00:23:22,946 --> 00:23:25,448
Now, this is what we call the...
[speaks indistinctly] ...stitch.
398
00:23:25,448 --> 00:23:27,826
[Robbie] Ty taught me everything
about stuffed animals,
399
00:23:27,826 --> 00:23:30,328
which hadn't changed much in 50 years.
400
00:23:30,912 --> 00:23:34,124
They'd been made pretty firm,
stuffed to the seams.
401
00:23:34,791 --> 00:23:38,169
His big idea? Make 'em softer. Posable.
402
00:23:38,169 --> 00:23:39,671
This is, like, a old lady and...
403
00:23:39,671 --> 00:23:42,424
I was a fast learner.
And I had a thing or two to teach him.
404
00:23:42,424 --> 00:23:43,967
- It's so boring.
- This one works.
405
00:23:43,967 --> 00:23:47,220
- Look at this. Look at this. That's it.
- Doesn't work.
406
00:23:47,220 --> 00:23:49,931
- Open, open, open, open. Hurry. hurry.
- [Robbie] Ah!
407
00:23:50,599 --> 00:23:51,600
We were a good team.
408
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,393
It's good. [gasps]

One. One each. Oh, my God. One.

Hmm. Who knew it only took
inventing a line of stuffed animals
417
00:24:15,832 --> 00:24:17,918
to break your strict dating embargo?
418
00:24:19,294 --> 00:24:22,214
- It took way more than that.
- Did it?
419
00:24:22,214 --> 00:24:25,425
Yeah.
And they're understuffed, by the way.

He's strange and magical,

But how do they all know each other?
500
00:28:15,739 --> 00:28:19,659
Uh, well, they-- they don't. It's--
It's kinda like a big conference call.
501
00:28:20,201 --> 00:28:22,537
We're dialed into this thing
called America Online,
502
00:28:22,537 --> 00:28:24,080
and so is everyone else here.
503
00:28:24,623 --> 00:28:26,082
Can we go back to the chat pad thing?
504
00:28:26,082 --> 00:28:27,167
- Chat room.
- Mmm.
505
00:28:27,167 --> 00:28:28,251
[Maya] Okay.
506
00:28:33,215 --> 00:28:36,218
- [slurping]
- [electronic whirring]
507
00:28:40,388 --> 00:28:42,265
- Ooh, it's so fast.
- Right?
508
00:28:43,058 --> 00:28:45,810
- Look at that. There's new thingies.
- [Maya] Yeah. All the time.
509
00:28:45,810 --> 00:28:48,772
We're just watching Beanie lovers
hang out in real time.
510
00:28:48,772 --> 00:28:49,981
[chuckles]
511
00:28:49,981 --> 00:28:52,984
[Maya] Even if they're in different
cities, time zones. Wherever.
512
00:28:52,984 --> 00:28:55,570
How many people
are into this sort of thing overall?
513
00:28:55,570 --> 00:28:59,366
My professor says 18 million homes
now have modem-equipped computers,
514
00:28:59,366 --> 00:29:01,076
- up from 11 million a year ago...
- What?
515
00:29:01,076 --> 00:29:03,036
...and that number's gonna keep growing.
516
00:29:03,036 --> 00:29:05,664
Wow, 18 million people
just talking about Beanie Babies.
517
00:29:06,248 --> 00:29:08,083
Well, and other things.
518
00:29:08,083 --> 00:29:11,628
I mean, the Internet's a whole new way of
connecting to the rest of the world.
519
00:29:11,628 --> 00:29:12,712
It's amazing.
520
00:29:13,922 --> 00:29:15,632
We really should start a Ty web page.
521
00:29:16,216 --> 00:29:17,217
What's that?
522
00:29:17,217 --> 00:29:18,301
We can make a place
523
00:29:18,301 --> 00:29:21,721
that anyone who wants to know
anything about Beanie Babies can go to.
524
00:29:21,721 --> 00:29:23,640
A place we control.
525
00:29:25,350 --> 00:29:26,184
Completely?
526
00:29:26,184 --> 00:29:29,312
And we'd probably be the first business
to make one for our customers,
527
00:29:29,312 --> 00:29:31,147
'cause no one else is using it that way.
528
00:29:31,147 --> 00:29:35,110
Most web pages are just boring academic
stuff and phone directories,
529
00:29:35,110 --> 00:29:36,778
but we could make ours fun.
530
00:29:37,279 --> 00:29:39,739
Different. Sparkly.
531
00:29:40,323 --> 00:29:42,075
Sparkly, I like that.
532
00:29:43,201 --> 00:29:46,246
- Wait. Your version of sparkly or mine?
- Yours.
533
00:29:48,206 --> 00:29:52,669
Uh, are these toy shindigs fancy?
534
00:29:52,669 --> 00:29:57,132
[sighs] Ty says we have to put on a show
and, uh, "pack something flashy," so...
535
00:29:58,842 --> 00:30:02,679
Is he gonna wear a dress also or does
he not do that sort of thing in public?
536
00:30:02,679 --> 00:30:04,472
He is not a cross-dresser.
537
00:30:04,472 --> 00:30:07,934
Yeah, well, he is the kinda guy
who's hiding who he really is.
538
00:30:07,934 --> 00:30:10,729
Ty had a rough life too, you know,
but he's going after things.
539
00:30:10,729 --> 00:30:13,440
He's making things happen,
getting what he deserves.
540
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,610
- It's-- It's inspiring.
- Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
541
00:30:16,610 --> 00:30:22,115
[sighs] For once, I feel like I'm being
pulled up, not just dragged down.
542
00:30:22,115 --> 00:30:23,950
[chuckles] It's a fucking miracle.
543
00:30:27,495 --> 00:30:30,457
- I didn't mean-- I meant work stuff.
- It's fine. It's fine. It's fine.
544
00:30:30,457 --> 00:30:32,042
You're allowed to go have fun.
545
00:30:35,086 --> 00:30:37,422
[sighs, inhales shakily]
546
00:30:38,298 --> 00:30:40,759
It's nice feeling
like someone believes in me.
547
00:30:43,011 --> 00:30:44,012
That's all I meant.
548
00:30:45,096 --> 00:30:47,766
Well, you'll have to tell me
what that feels like.
549
00:30:47,766 --> 00:30:48,850
[sighs]
550
00:30:51,436 --> 00:30:54,231
I made you a lasagna,
and there's pizza too.
551
00:30:54,231 --> 00:30:56,733
And I'll only be gone for two days. Okay?
552
00:30:57,234 --> 00:30:59,194
- [Billy] Make it longer.
- You know what, Billy?
553
00:30:59,194 --> 00:31:01,738
- I'm fucking trying to do s--
- No. I'm serious, okay?
554
00:31:01,738 --> 00:31:04,282
Let's stop fucking pretending.
I'm sick of it.
555
00:31:05,408 --> 00:31:07,661
You're not the only one
who's feeling fucking suffocated.
556
00:31:07,661 --> 00:31:08,995
[breathes shakily]
557
00:31:20,090 --> 00:31:22,551
- [clerk] Checking in?
- Yes. Uh, Roberta Jones.
558
00:31:22,551 --> 00:31:24,719
- I'm-- The toy convention?
- [clerk] Oh. Welcome.
559
00:31:24,719 --> 00:31:26,263
[Robbie breathes deeply]
560
00:31:28,932 --> 00:31:30,475
Here's your keys.
561
00:31:30,475 --> 00:31:31,935
And Mr. Warner left you a note.
562
00:31:31,935 --> 00:31:35,438
He said to tell you he's "fetching
a chariot to collect you at 3:00."
563
00:31:36,022 --> 00:31:37,065
And he left you this.
564
00:31:43,113 --> 00:31:45,115
["Rockit" playing]
565
00:32:21,985 --> 00:32:26,239
- [attendees clamoring]
- [both speaking indistinctly]
566
00:32:26,239 --> 00:32:28,533
Give them a look and give them a try.
567
00:32:28,533 --> 00:32:31,119
There you go. What do you think? Not bad?
568
00:32:31,119 --> 00:32:33,330
- Let me grab that from you.
- [Ty] Not bad.
569
00:32:33,330 --> 00:32:34,789
That's great.
570
00:32:34,789 --> 00:32:37,334
- This is not your dad's stuffed animal.
- Enjoy your day.
571
00:32:37,834 --> 00:32:41,296
Fifty-two poses for the head alone.
572

Thirty fucking thousand dollars!
573
00:32:50,347 --> 00:32:52,641
[laughs]
574
00:32:52,641 --> 00:32:55,268
In an hour! For stuffed cats!
575
00:32:55,268 --> 00:32:58,438
We are great together,
just like I said we would be.
576
00:32:58,438 --> 00:33:00,774
- Fucking great.
- Ship-building champs, we are!
577
00:33:00,774 --> 00:33:03,777
[swallows] Motherfucking Vikings!
578
00:33:03,777 --> 00:33:05,695
- [laughing]
- [Ty] Hotel, please.
579
00:33:07,197 --> 00:33:09,491
You're one in a million, Robbie Jones.
580
00:33:10,533 --> 00:33:11,534
You are.
581
00:33:54,786 --> 00:33:55,787
Oh, God.
582
00:33:56,621 --> 00:33:59,374
[sighing]
583
00:34:05,881 --> 00:34:07,841
Do you know what the greatest thing
about America is?
584
00:34:07,841 --> 00:34:10,093
- [Ava] Toys!
- [child 2] Milkshakes!
585
00:34:10,093 --> 00:34:13,722
Well, that's number-- Yes.
Number seven and 14, of course.
586
00:34:13,722 --> 00:34:16,516
But the number one
greatest thing about America?
587
00:34:16,516 --> 00:34:21,146
It's the land of comebacks,
of new chances, of-- of opportunity.
588
00:34:22,188 --> 00:34:25,108
You can make things happen here
like nowhere else, ladies.
589
00:34:25,108 --> 00:34:26,818
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
590
00:34:26,818 --> 00:34:32,490
And never forget-- never forget that you
have the power to create your own future.
591
00:34:33,325 --> 00:34:35,785
Never forget that you can be anything,
592
00:34:35,785 --> 00:34:38,622
- you can do anything.
- I'm gonna be a unicorn!
593

You already are, darling. You already are.
594
00:34:41,207 --> 00:34:46,253
The past few years have been
just the greatest ever.

Aw.
596
00:34:47,838 --> 00:34:50,300
I think we make an unbeatable team.
I think we do.
597
00:34:50,300 --> 00:34:51,843
- We make an unbeatable team.
- [Sheila] Yeah.
598
00:34:51,843 --> 00:34:53,887
- Me too.
- Me three.

- Me four.

[mouthing words] You ready?

I think some amazing things
are getting ready to happen.

Yes. Of course.

- Mommy!

You know, I thought it was just gonna be

Man, did you screw with my plans.
630
00:36:42,871 --> 00:36:46,082
Well, get ready for me to screw
with your plans for the rest of our lives.
631
00:36:50,128 --> 00:36:53,757
You know, this is serious,
what we're doing.
632
00:36:54,299 --> 00:36:55,133
Mm-hmm.
633
00:36:57,928 --> 00:37:00,180
- You're not reconsidering, are you?
- No.

- No. No, sweetheart.
- Phew. [chuckles]
635
00:37:03,058 --> 00:37:05,769
I-- I just--
636
00:37:08,813 --> 00:37:12,359
In the past, I have relied on men,
637
00:37:13,276 --> 00:37:15,320
and they turned out to be the wrong men.
638
00:37:19,074 --> 00:37:20,700
I would die before I let you down.
639
00:37:28,959 --> 00:37:32,295
You know, I don't-- I don't need this.
640

I-- I don't need to get married.

Well, I do.

that plastic surgery could be so romantic.

my own name though, right?

- Right.
- [chuckles]
655
00:38:30,979 --> 00:38:34,274
Well, whoever you are,
whatever your name is,
656
00:38:34,774 --> 00:38:37,068
we should get married
and grow old together.

Could you update the site at 11:00?

Uh, yeah, I could go to the library
in between my classes.

[Maya] Awesome. Thanks.

The collectors are gonna go crazy.
667
00:38:59,716 --> 00:39:02,344
Hey, did you check out
that new auction website I told you about?
668
00:39:02,344 --> 00:39:05,805
Uh, no. Shit. I meant to.
Um, I'll do that today.
669
00:39:05,805 --> 00:39:07,682
-"ePort" or some shit?
-eBay.
670
00:39:07,682 --> 00:39:10,185
eBay. Right.
671
00:39:11,144 --> 00:39:12,354
Crap, I'm so late.
672
00:39:12,354 --> 00:39:14,356
- [Maya's mom] Because of the Peanut crab?
- Wha-- Mom?
673
00:39:14,356 --> 00:39:16,483
Shit. Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.
674
00:39:16,483 --> 00:39:18,276
[Maya's mom]
Who are you shit-shit-shitting?
675
00:39:18,276 --> 00:39:19,945
There is no shit-shit-shitting
in this family.
676
00:39:19,945 --> 00:39:21,696
Sorry, she must have
picked up the extension.
677
00:39:21,696 --> 00:39:24,491
[Maya's mom] No shit, Sherlock.
Get to school, both of you.
678
00:39:24,491 --> 00:39:25,951
Yes, ma'am. [sighs]
679
00:39:32,832 --> 00:39:33,833

681
00:40:08,159 --> 00:40:10,912
- [knocking]
- [Sheila] All right, gremlins, time-out!
682
00:40:11,663 --> 00:40:13,373
- Hey, Maya. Come on in.
- Hi.
683
00:40:15,125 --> 00:40:17,752
You know, you made Ty's year
with that new computer setup.
684
00:40:17,752 --> 00:40:20,672
He won't stop talking about,
uh, his-- his RAM.
685
00:40:20,672 --> 00:40:22,215
Oh, sorry.
686
00:40:22,215 --> 00:40:23,675
He's just through here.
687
00:40:25,385 --> 00:40:28,638
Oh, wow. So cute.
688
00:40:29,222 --> 00:40:30,849
- We spotted an enemy!
- [screams]
689
00:40:30,849 --> 00:40:34,060
- Not so cute. Warmongers.
- [child 2] Yes, yes, yes!
690
00:40:34,060 --> 00:40:35,729
- Hey. Look who's here.
- [Ty] Hi.
691
00:40:37,022 --> 00:40:38,690
200 new thingies since noon.
692
00:40:38,690 --> 00:40:40,483
I've got something even more exciting
to show you.
693
00:40:40,483 --> 00:40:41,985
- [child 2] Now you're trapped!
- Hey. Come on.
694
00:40:41,985 --> 00:40:43,361
- [Ty] Rascals.
- Sorry.
695
00:40:43,361 --> 00:40:46,239
Okay, dazzle me.
Show me what couldn't wait till tomorrow.
696
00:40:48,825 --> 00:40:51,828
Ooh, you are not gonna believe this.
[sighs]
697
00:40:51,828 --> 00:40:53,246
- May I?
- Mm-hmm.
698
00:40:53,246 --> 00:40:54,331
I'm sorry.
699
00:40:56,833 --> 00:40:58,668
Okay.
700
00:41:00,378 --> 00:41:02,631
- Come on.
- One sec.
701
00:41:05,300 --> 00:41:06,301
[Maya] Here.
702
00:41:10,472 --> 00:41:13,683
Why are there photos and prices
of retired Beanie Babies on here?
703
00:41:13,683 --> 00:41:16,603
- They can't sell these.
- No, these aren't retailers.
704
00:41:16,603 --> 00:41:17,729
They're customers,
705
00:41:17,729 --> 00:41:19,856
reselling what they've already
bought from us.
706
00:41:20,398 --> 00:41:23,068
It's an online auction site,
a genius idea.
707
00:41:23,068 --> 00:41:26,488
Anybody can sell anything they want,
but we're the biggest thing on it.
708
00:41:26,488 --> 00:41:27,906
By a lot. Look.
709
00:41:27,906 --> 00:41:32,577
Dotless Dots is listed at $55,
11 times retail.
710
00:41:32,577 --> 00:41:35,288
- Well, we should sue them then.
- Well-- No, we-- What?
711
00:41:35,288 --> 00:41:36,581
We should kiss them.
712
00:41:36,581 --> 00:41:38,708
Are you seeing what they're doing for us?
713
00:41:38,708 --> 00:41:41,545
Yes. They're making a huge profit
on my products.
714
00:41:41,545 --> 00:41:44,297
Infringing on my trademarked--
715
00:41:44,297 --> 00:41:47,008
- trademarked name.
- No, making everybody greedy
716
00:41:47,008 --> 00:41:48,468
for what we sell.
717
00:41:48,468 --> 00:41:51,763
Not just as toys, but as investments.
As money makers.
718
00:41:51,763 --> 00:41:54,766
I mean, we could not pay
for this kind of marketing.
719
00:41:54,766 --> 00:41:58,019
These photos are just awful.
720
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,106
I mean, amateur camera angles,
abysmal eye con--
721
00:42:01,106 --> 00:42:02,983
Look at the eye contact. There's none.
722
00:42:02,983 --> 00:42:05,569
Zero. This is a disgrace.
723
00:42:05,569 --> 00:42:08,655
The disgrace that's gonna
multiply our sales by a zillion.
724
00:42:11,533 --> 00:42:13,076
Well, maybe we won't sue.
725
00:42:13,702 --> 00:42:15,787
Yeah. This is a big deal, Ty.
726
00:42:16,496 --> 00:42:17,581
We gotta play it right.
727
00:42:17,581 --> 00:42:21,084
Okay, listen though.
I'm way too busy to handle all this crap.
728
00:42:21,626 --> 00:42:23,336
You're gonna have to manage it, okay?
729
00:42:23,336 --> 00:42:25,130
- Yeah. Plan to.
- Okay.
730
00:42:25,130 --> 00:42:27,424
I'm deferring med school
to come on board full-time.
731
00:42:27,424 --> 00:42:29,509
[swallows] You're still in school?
732
00:42:30,093 --> 00:42:33,430
[stammers] You know I am.
My parents want me to be a doctor.
733
00:42:33,430 --> 00:42:36,474
Doctors are a dime a dozen.
You are special.
734
00:42:36,474 --> 00:42:38,518
You don't need degrees to succeed.
735
00:42:38,518 --> 00:42:40,937
Tell your folks
that all the greats quit school early.
736
00:42:40,937 --> 00:42:42,397
I quit my freshman year.
737
00:42:42,397 --> 00:42:45,567
Yeah. Like you said, all the greats.
738
00:42:45,567 --> 00:42:47,527
We're a great team, Maya Kumar.
739
00:42:48,570 --> 00:42:49,571
Yes, we are.
740
00:42:50,906 --> 00:42:55,327
We are a dream team, Robbie Jones. Unbeatable.
741
00:42:56,494 --> 00:42:58,914
Oh, it's the cats! [gasps, squeals]
742
00:42:58,914 --> 00:43:02,375
Oh, God. Keep the fatties away.
We don't want fatties near the booth.
743
00:43:05,003 --> 00:43:06,630
[scoffs] Are you joking?
744
00:43:06,630 --> 00:43:08,340
No, they sweat on the fur.
745
00:43:09,299 --> 00:43:11,718
Everyone is talking up this booth.
746
00:43:11,718 --> 00:43:13,762
[chuckles] Can I help you?
747
00:43:13,762 --> 00:43:15,639
Oh, these are incredible.
748
00:43:15,639 --> 00:43:18,433
They're so lifelike, and they're soft.
749
00:43:18,433 --> 00:43:21,061
What a good idea,
under-stuffing them like this.
750
00:43:21,061 --> 00:43:23,772
Thank you.
Can I get an order started for you?
751
00:43:23,772 --> 00:43:25,065
- For sure, for sure.
- Great.
752
00:43:25,065 --> 00:43:27,442
- I'll take two dozen for my store.
- Oh, wonderful.
753
00:43:27,442 --> 00:43:29,986
And a few for my kids.
They will just die for these.
754
00:43:29,986 --> 00:43:32,405
["New Sensation" playing]
755
00:43:44,251 --> 00:43:45,669
[mouthing words] I love that.
756
00:43:48,213 --> 00:43:52,050
[inaudible dialogue]
757
00:44:05,188 --> 00:44:07,524
[mouthing words] Oh, my God. I love this.

[song continues]
759
00:44:47,022 --> 00:44:49,941
[Robbie] It's amazing
how quick ten years can go.
760
00:44:51,860 --> 00:44:55,572
By '92, we'd built a six-million-dollar
business together from scratch,
761
00:44:55,572 --> 00:44:56,865
broken up five times,
762
00:44:56,865 --> 00:44:59,451
and felt like we were
just getting started.
763
00:44:59,951 --> 00:45:01,912
- Hmm.
- You are one of a kind, Robbie Jones.
764
00:45:01,912 --> 00:45:04,497
- Aw. Back at ya, Ty.
- One of a kind.
765
00:45:05,248 --> 00:45:06,833
Though I can't believe you're
from Arkansas
766
00:45:06,833 --> 00:45:08,710
- and you've never met Clinton.
- [chuckles]
767
00:45:09,294 --> 00:45:11,213
- Do you think he's gonna win?
- Yeah.
768
00:45:11,213 --> 00:45:14,299
- He's younger than I am.
- Mmm. And taller. [clears throat]
769
00:45:15,759 --> 00:45:17,510
- And he has a kid.
- Mmm.
770
00:45:18,637 --> 00:45:21,848
Do you think--
Do you think we should have kids?
771
00:45:21,848 --> 00:45:23,433
You're probably too old though.
772
00:45:23,433 --> 00:45:25,268
We have a lot on our plate already,
don't you think?
773
00:45:25,268 --> 00:45:27,896
- I mean, we're birthing an empire.
- Hmm.
774
00:45:28,396 --> 00:45:33,735
Listen. I think that we should
expand internationally.
775
00:45:33,735 --> 00:45:35,362
- What? No. No.
- Yes.
776
00:45:35,362 --> 00:45:36,780
- Yes. Yes.
- No.
777
00:45:36,780 --> 00:45:39,908
The market is perfect
for us to move into the UK.
778
00:45:39,908 --> 00:45:41,993
- Plus, it'll stimulate domestic.
- I said no.
779
00:45:43,912 --> 00:45:46,623
The number one mistake
that people make is they get too greedy.
780
00:45:46,623 --> 00:45:49,125
- They start expanding too fast.
- Mm-hmm.
781
00:45:49,125 --> 00:45:50,418
Plus, I'm loyal to America.
782
00:45:50,418 --> 00:45:52,963
[scoffs] Okay,
what does that have to do with anything?
783
00:45:52,963 --> 00:45:57,092
My products are made
by Americans for Americans, end of story.
784
00:45:57,842 --> 00:46:02,180
Our products are made
for Americans by Asians.
785
00:46:02,180 --> 00:46:04,891
Ty Inc.'s plush animals
are manufactured in China
786
00:46:04,891 --> 00:46:06,393
- and Korea, as you well know.
- Yeah.
787
00:46:06,393 --> 00:46:09,646
Paying us back for all the bills
America's paid for the entire world,
788
00:46:09,646 --> 00:46:10,772
and I think it's about time.
789
00:46:10,772 --> 00:46:12,566
If you want other countries to pay us,
790
00:46:12,566 --> 00:46:14,734
then we need to sell to them,
not buy from them.
791
00:46:14,734 --> 00:46:18,905
And I am proposing
that we figure out how to sell to Europe.
792
00:46:18,905 --> 00:46:20,907
Don't double-cross America, Robbie.
793
00:46:21,783 --> 00:46:23,368
- I'm being serious.
- Okay.
794
00:46:23,368 --> 00:46:25,120
- No, I am.
- Oh, I know. I hear.

00:46:26,329 --> 00:46:28,957
You just sit there looking pretty,
okay, Paul Revere?

- I take requests, you know.
- [chuckling]

00:46:43,930 --> 00:46:45,807
I wish we were doing this
at the new place,
802
00:46:45,807 --> 00:46:47,475
but it's still under construction.
803
00:46:47,475 --> 00:46:49,936
It's bigger than this place.
Gorgeous light.

00:46:49,936 --> 00:46:52,230
- [photographer] Oh, this is perfect.
- [Ty] Oh.

00:46:52,230 --> 00:46:53,607
- So, when's the wedding?
- [Ty] Very soon.
806
00:46:53,607 --> 00:46:55,358
- [Sheila] We're not sure.
- [Ty] Soon though. Right?
807
00:46:55,358 --> 00:46:57,569
- But we just-- we don't know exactly when...
- Yeah, soon.
808
00:46:57,569 --> 00:46:59,195
- ...but soon.
- Very soon.
809
00:46:59,863 --> 00:47:00,864
Things have just gotten busy.
810

surely have taken off.

- Sure.

- Yeah.

about it being a family business?

it's gonna be really wonderful to get away

00:47:57,420 --> 00:48:01,883
Just to tighten things up.
We can get a family discount.
832
00:48:03,093 --> 00:48:05,470
You could get some work done
on your nose or something.
833
00:48:05,971 --> 00:48:08,473
- Um, what's wrong with my nose?
- Nothing.
834
00:48:08,473 --> 00:48:11,226
It's just, you have this--
a little bump on it.
835
00:48:11,226 --> 00:48:12,519
Maren has one too.
836
00:48:12,519 --> 00:48:15,397
Maren... [stammers]
...is not getting a nose job.
837
00:48:15,397 --> 00:48:19,025
Of course not. She-- She's a child.
838
00:48:20,110 --> 00:48:21,695
I mean-- But you're old enough.
839
00:48:24,322 --> 00:48:25,490
Are you serious with this?
840
00:48:28,743 --> 00:48:34,249
Sweetie.
Sweetie, you're beautiful. You are.
841
00:48:34,249 --> 00:48:35,875
It was just a thought.
842
00:48:35,875 --> 00:48:38,712
I like having the power
to be able to shape myself,
843
00:48:38,712 --> 00:48:40,463
and I thought you would too.
844
00:48:40,463 --> 00:48:42,382
We have a big year coming up,
845
00:48:42,883 --> 00:48:44,467
- and as the saying goes...
- [stammers]
846
00:48:44,467 --> 00:48:49,723
..."Genius is 1% inspiration,
99% presentation."
847
00:48:50,348 --> 00:48:52,475
That's not how the saying goes.
848
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:55,896
Okay. I-- [stammers]
Yeah, all-- Forget I brought--
849
00:48:56,438 --> 00:49:01,776
Forget I brought it up.
It's just-- Yeah. [stammers, sighs]
850
00:49:05,030 --> 00:49:07,324
[Maren] Mom, I can't find my floaties!
851
00:49:09,576 --> 00:49:11,036
[Sheila] Yeah, I'm coming.
852
00:49:14,748 --> 00:49:16,416
[relative]
Are they honeymooning in Florida?
853
00:49:16,416 --> 00:49:19,961
[Maya] Just holiday vacationing.
He says he'll be tuning in tonight.
854
00:49:21,087 --> 00:49:25,842
T-minus eight hours till showtime.
Move her this way.
855
00:49:25,842 --> 00:49:27,636
[chuckles] Make her dance a little.
856
00:49:28,470 --> 00:49:30,972
Will a 40-minute Shockwave movie
even play online?
857
00:49:31,556 --> 00:49:33,433
'Cause I've only ever seen 30-second ones.
858
00:49:33,433 --> 00:49:36,102
- Welcome to the future.
- [phone ringing]
859
00:49:38,146 --> 00:49:41,733
- [cheering]
- ["Let Me Clear My Throat" playing]
860
00:49:42,984 --> 00:49:45,654
[ringing continues]
861
00:49:45,654 --> 00:49:47,906
[Maya] You've reached Maya.
Tell me something good.
862
00:49:48,531 --> 00:49:50,116
[recording beep]
863
00:49:50,116 --> 00:49:53,995
[Maya's dad] How about you tell us when
you decided not to go to medical school?
864
00:49:53,995 --> 00:49:56,998
[Maya's mom] Your life is your life,
but we could at least be informed
865
00:49:56,998 --> 00:50:00,835
all that money we carefully saved
for your education is ours again,
866
00:50:00,835 --> 00:50:02,295
to do what we want with.
867
00:50:02,295 --> 00:50:05,090
[Maya's dad] Mmm. Maybe we'll do
something risky and impulsive.
868
00:50:05,090 --> 00:50:07,634
See? See what you're doing to us?
Okay. Think about it.
869
00:50:07,634 --> 00:50:08,802
[music stops]
870
00:50:08,802 --> 00:50:11,054
- Hey! Hey! No, no, no, no!
- [crowd clamoring]
871
00:50:11,054 --> 00:50:15,183
It's almost midnight,
and my Beanies movie's about to go live.
872
00:50:15,183 --> 00:50:17,769
- [cheering]
- Hey, do one of the raps!
873
00:50:17,769 --> 00:50:20,605
Oh, you mean the ones
that boosted sales 40%?
874
00:50:20,605 --> 00:50:22,566
Yeah. Maybe later, maybe--
875
00:50:22,566 --> 00:50:24,317
Okay, here we go.
876
00:50:24,317 --> 00:50:29,531
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four,
877
00:50:29,531 --> 00:50:31,575
three, two, one.
878
00:50:31,575 --> 00:50:33,618
[crowd cheering]
879
00:50:36,329 --> 00:50:38,582
- [crowd chanting] Beanie Babies!
- What?
880
00:50:38,582 --> 00:50:41,585
[crowd chanting]
Beanie Babies! Beanie Babies!
881
00:50:41,585 --> 00:50:44,004
It won't download. I keep trying.
882
00:50:44,004 --> 00:50:46,590
Too many people are
logging on to the site at once.
883
00:50:46,590 --> 00:50:48,091
So, no one can see anything?
884
00:50:48,091 --> 00:50:51,887
[sighs] Oh, shit. I'm gonna get fired.
885
00:50:52,846 --> 00:50:54,723
We broke the entire Internet thing!
886
00:50:56,391 --> 00:50:57,684
Not exactly.
887
00:50:57,684 --> 00:51:00,145
It was our personal server lines
that got overwhelmed.
888
00:51:00,145 --> 00:51:02,564
By 18 million Beanie Baby lovers. Unbelievable.
889
00:51:02,564 --> 00:51:05,317
Again, that's not the amount
of people on our site, but--
890
00:51:05,317 --> 00:51:06,902
Amazing. It's just fantastic.
891
00:51:06,902 --> 00:51:08,820
- Did I get any press calls about it?
- [scoffs]
892
00:51:08,820 --> 00:51:10,238
- Who are you?
- Hi.
893
00:51:10,238 --> 00:51:13,366
This is Linda Wallace, one of
the original Beanie Baby collectors.
894
00:51:13,366 --> 00:51:15,285
- [sighing] Oh, God.
- It is such an honor to--
895
00:51:17,078 --> 00:51:18,246
Just one sec.
896
00:51:18,830 --> 00:51:21,958
Remember I told you about the cul-de-sac
that started the local craze?
897
00:51:21,958 --> 00:51:24,628
- Well, Linda was ground zero.
- [Ty] Mmm.
898
00:51:24,628 --> 00:51:25,837
Guilty. [chuckles]
899
00:51:26,338 --> 00:51:30,008
Linda does the Beanie Baby Collectors
radio update on WGN now.
900
00:51:30,008 --> 00:51:31,635
- [Ty sighs]
- You agreed to meet?
901
00:51:32,135 --> 00:51:34,804
And it-- I am just beyond excited
to meet you,
902
00:51:34,804 --> 00:51:37,599
Ty Warner, in person.
Wow. [inhales sharply]
903
00:51:37,599 --> 00:51:39,351
You do a radio show about my products?
904
00:51:39,351 --> 00:51:42,854
{\an8}[stammers] Plus, I actually publish
the Beanie Baby Price Guide,
905
00:51:42,854 --> 00:51:46,233
{\an8}which people call the bible
of the collectors' market.
906
00:51:46,233 --> 00:51:48,443
{\an8}[inhales sharply]
I was hoping you'd sign it.
907
00:51:48,443 --> 00:51:51,947
And who gave you permission to do that?
Uh, just out of curiosity.
908
00:51:51,947 --> 00:51:54,407
Oh, um, I didn't know I needed to get--
909
00:51:54,407 --> 00:51:56,993
Well, the guide drives tons
of customers to our site.
910
00:51:56,993 --> 00:51:58,662
{\an8}I mean, nothing hooks new collectors
911
00:51:58,662 --> 00:52:01,498
{\an8}like hearing Linda made $300,000
on Beanies.
912
00:52:02,499 --> 00:52:03,500
300,000?
913
00:52:03,500 --> 00:52:04,960
[Linda] In just three months.
914
00:52:05,460 --> 00:52:06,628
How exactly?
915
00:52:06,628 --> 00:52:10,632
Well, there I was, just snapping up
as many as I could here in the States,
916
00:52:10,632 --> 00:52:13,051
but then my sister went to Liverpool,
917
00:52:13,051 --> 00:52:14,761
which-- She's a real Beatle maniac--
918
00:52:14,761 --> 00:52:18,223
And she saw piles of Iggy the Iguana
and Whisper the Deer,
919
00:52:18,223 --> 00:52:20,058
which I have been looking everywhere for.
920
00:52:20,058 --> 00:52:22,894
So, I tracked down the number
of your UK distributor,
921
00:52:22,894 --> 00:52:25,230
ordered 200 pieces direct,
plus shipping fees.
922
00:52:25,230 --> 00:52:27,816
Whole thing cost me $2,000
and very nearly my marriage,
923
00:52:27,816 --> 00:52:30,569
but 90 days later,
those babies bought us a BMW
924
00:52:30,569 --> 00:52:32,362
and a time-share in Florida.
925
00:52:32,362 --> 00:52:35,407
So now people listen
when I tell them Beanies
926
00:52:35,407 --> 00:52:37,242
are the best investment around.
927
00:52:38,285 --> 00:52:42,080
Plus, they're cute as all get-out.
[chuckles] You know that.
928
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:45,792
Oh, gosh,
you just gotta come on my show. [chuckles]
929
00:52:45,792 --> 00:52:48,628
[Maya] Ty filed a lawsuit by the end
of the following day.
930
00:52:48,628 --> 00:52:51,172
And he forced eBay
to change its "Beanie Babies" category
931
00:52:51,172 --> 00:52:53,008
{\an8}to "Beanbag Plush."
932
00:52:53,508 --> 00:52:56,469
But by then, the craze was uncontrollable.
933
00:52:58,013 --> 00:53:01,099
[newscaster 1] Beanie Babies
are selling hotter than tamales.
934
00:53:01,099 --> 00:53:04,603
{\an8}[newscaster 2] The beanbag has
been transformed into a commercial rage.
935
00:53:04,603 --> 00:53:05,979
{\an8}[newscaster 3] To protect themselves,
936
00:53:05,979 --> 00:53:10,150
{\an8}delivery workers have been painting
over Ty's logos on the boxes they deliver.
937
00:53:12,611 --> 00:53:14,988
[Maya] People were buying
and selling half a million dollars
938
00:53:14,988 --> 00:53:19,367
of Beanie Babies on eBay every month,
which was bonkers.
939
00:53:19,367 --> 00:53:20,869
But what they couldn't see
940
00:53:20,869 --> 00:53:24,372
was that everybody who wanted a piece
of that was buying new,
941
00:53:24,372 --> 00:53:26,666
off the shelf from us.
942
00:53:26,666 --> 00:53:29,544
{\an8}So when eBay did half a million dollars,
943
00:53:29,544 --> 00:53:32,839
we did 400 times that in retail.
944
00:53:32,839 --> 00:53:37,677
- [jackpot tune playing]
- [Maya] $200 million every month.
945
00:53:38,720 --> 00:53:41,056
It was so much money.
946
00:53:41,056 --> 00:53:42,515
[cheering]
947
00:53:45,185 --> 00:53:47,938
[Maya] And we were constantly
expanding just to keep up.
948
00:53:52,442 --> 00:53:54,736
Everything just got
a little bit out of control.
949
00:53:57,781 --> 00:53:58,782
Ty included.
950
00:54:00,075 --> 00:54:03,328
Maya. Maya. Maya.
Did you see the latest numbers?
951
00:54:03,328 --> 00:54:05,413
- [Maya] People keep wanting more.
- [exhales]
952
00:54:05,413 --> 00:54:06,998
Mr. Warner, a word?
953
00:54:06,998 --> 00:54:08,333
No, thanks. Who's this?
954
00:54:08,333 --> 00:54:10,335
Rep from Toys "R" Us or Walmart.
955
00:54:10,335 --> 00:54:13,296
- Well, get rid of him.
- [sighs] We tried. They keep coming back.
956
00:54:13,838 --> 00:54:16,675
Hey! We only sell to mom-and-pops.
957
00:54:16,675 --> 00:54:18,760
No big-box stores, is that understood?
958
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:22,430
And why don't we sell to big-box stores?
Anyone?
959
00:54:22,973 --> 00:54:24,182
- Okay, Maya, go ahead.
- Oh.
960
00:54:24,182 --> 00:54:27,936
Their cheap product displays
invite price wars and comparison shopping.
961
00:54:27,936 --> 00:54:29,854
The America--
The-- More the America stuff.
962
00:54:29,854 --> 00:54:30,981
Oh. Right.
963
00:54:30,981 --> 00:54:34,609
Big-box stores kill small businesses
and trash the dreams of the little guy.
964
00:54:34,609 --> 00:54:37,445
And America is all about the little guy.
965
00:54:37,445 --> 00:54:41,032
And we are all about the little guy.
966
00:54:41,032 --> 00:54:43,034
Marcus, is that shipment
from China on time?
967
00:54:43,034 --> 00:54:45,620
[Marcus] Yes. They wanna know how many
new models we're introducing next month?
968
00:54:45,620 --> 00:54:46,997
Well, everybody wants to know that.
969
00:54:46,997 --> 00:54:49,416
Also, they asked about
an Asian distribution deal like the UK.
970
00:54:49,416 --> 00:54:54,004
No, listen! No UK! No UK!
971
00:54:54,004 --> 00:54:57,716
Hey, did you see those tweaks
that I made to the platypus design?
972
00:54:57,716 --> 00:54:59,551
I did. They were v-- They were very good.
973
00:54:59,551 --> 00:55:00,844
- Yeah. I knew you'd like them.
- Yeah.
974
00:55:00,844 --> 00:55:03,889
I'm sorry to interrupt, but Parade needs
an answer about the profile.
975
00:55:03,889 --> 00:55:07,100
They'd like to interview Ava too
about the popularity of Spooky.
976
00:55:07,100 --> 00:55:09,269
The audience reach could be huge.
977
00:55:09,269 --> 00:55:11,479
First of all, Spooky is not that popular.
978
00:55:11,479 --> 00:55:13,857
And also, no more dinky press, okay?
979
00:55:13,857 --> 00:55:15,650
Parade has over 20 million subscribers.
980
00:55:15,650 --> 00:55:20,405
I only want to speak to Oprah Winfrey.
Has she reached out?
981
00:55:20,405 --> 00:55:22,157
- Not yet.
- Thank you.
982
00:55:22,157 --> 00:55:24,534
[employee] Steven Spielberg's office
called again and now they're offering
983
00:55:24,534 --> 00:55:27,579
- triple what they were offering before.
- Not interested again. I'm not a sellout.
984
00:55:27,579 --> 00:55:29,706
Is that selling out to Mattel
and the Barbie tie-in then?
985
00:55:29,706 --> 00:55:32,709
I am sorry for that. I will pass,
and I'll pass on McDonald's as well.
986
00:55:32,709 --> 00:55:34,961
Why would you do that? I love McDonald's.
987
00:55:34,961 --> 00:55:36,630
- You do?
- Yes. Of course. [chuckles]
988
00:55:37,505 --> 00:55:40,425
Of course I love McD-- Everybody loves--
The president loves McDonald's.
989
00:55:40,425 --> 00:55:42,302
- You love McDonald's, right?
- Oh. Fiercely.
990
00:55:42,302 --> 00:55:44,888
Don't you think partnering with them
might be too big a strain
991
00:55:44,888 --> 00:55:47,390
- on our distribution system? [scoffs]
- Oh, my God.
992
00:55:47,390 --> 00:55:49,684
Can you imagine the markets
that's gonna open up?
993
00:55:49,684 --> 00:55:52,145
Sure, but we can barely keep up
with the mom-and-pops already.
994
00:55:52,145 --> 00:55:53,897
It would be like a Super Bowl ad
for a bake sale.
995
00:55:53,897 --> 00:55:57,442
- You heard her. We love McDonald's.
- Great. I will follow up.
996
00:55:57,442 --> 00:56:00,695
- Mickey D's! Mickey D's.
- [sighs] Ty, I mean, it's thrilling
997
00:56:00,695 --> 00:56:02,197
the demand for Beanies is so nuts,
998
00:56:02,197 --> 00:56:05,283
but we gotta be able to handle it.
Remember New Year's?
999
00:56:05,283 --> 00:56:09,204
Listen, we can put even tinier
Beanie Babies inside of Happy Meals.
1000
00:56:09,204 --> 00:56:13,875
Little tiny guys. It'd be so cute.
And adorable.
1001
00:56:13,875 --> 00:56:17,254
Profitable. Go with me to the airport.
I wanna go over designs.
1002
00:56:19,589 --> 00:56:22,384
[Maya] It's hard to know how
to reason with delusion.
1003
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:26,429
[Robbie] And sometimes you just
go along to get along.
1004
00:56:26,429 --> 00:56:29,057
By late '92, Clinton was president,
1005
00:56:29,558 --> 00:56:32,519
and I was in London
nailing down foreign expansion.
1006
00:56:33,311 --> 00:56:35,564
[chuckles] It's only 3:00 my time.
1007
00:56:35,564 --> 00:56:38,233
I could stay here all night,
but I don't want to keep you.
1008
00:56:38,233 --> 00:56:41,236
Were you able
to look at the proposal I faxed?
1009
00:56:41,236 --> 00:56:44,322
- Yes, and it's quite tempting.
- Good. Oh, good.
1010
00:56:44,322 --> 00:56:46,324
But I'm afraid there's a bit of a snag.
1011
00:56:46,324 --> 00:56:50,161
Oh, surely
there's nothing we can't work out.
1012
00:56:50,912 --> 00:56:55,292
[sighs] Legal says we can't
make a deal with you
1013
00:56:55,292 --> 00:56:58,044
since you're not technically
the owner of Ty Inc.
1014
00:57:00,213 --> 00:57:04,175
[chuckles, stammers] My partner
and I run the company together.
1015
00:57:04,926 --> 00:57:05,969
I do the deals,
1016
00:57:05,969 --> 00:57:08,346
he signs off once I walk him
through the numbers.
1017
00:57:08,346 --> 00:57:10,891
It's-- We've been working
like this for years.
1018
00:57:10,891 --> 00:57:13,894
- I'm sure it's just a miscommunication.
- Mm-hmm.
1019
00:57:15,145 --> 00:57:16,897
But we've been told differently.
1020
00:57:20,233 --> 00:57:22,027
[stammers, laughs]
1021
00:57:22,736 --> 00:57:24,195
I thought you knew.
1022
00:57:24,195 --> 00:57:26,197
He said your priorities had changed
1023
00:57:26,197 --> 00:57:29,409
and he was restructuring the company
based on both your wishes.
1024
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:32,412
I got the sense you were trying
to have a child.
1025
00:57:32,412 --> 00:57:35,874
No. No, no, no. No.
1026
00:57:36,416 --> 00:57:39,544
You need to restore
the previous agreement immediately.
1027
00:57:40,212 --> 00:57:42,672
I'm sorry, Robbie, but my hands are tied.
1028
00:57:44,341 --> 00:57:46,259
[camera shutter clicking]
1029
00:57:46,259 --> 00:57:47,636
[photographer] That looks great, Ty.
1030
00:57:47,636 --> 00:57:49,846
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I'll tell you when I'm ready.
1031
00:57:49,846 --> 00:57:51,640
I'm just working on my smile. Okay.
1032
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:53,850
Just let me get my smile,
then I'll go like this,
1033
00:57:53,850 --> 00:57:55,185
and then you snap your picture.
1034
00:57:55,185 --> 00:57:57,312
[photographer]
Sure. Okay, you let me know when.
1035
00:57:59,814 --> 00:58:01,691
- Go. [sighs]
- [stammers] No, I-- Okay.
1036
00:58:02,275 --> 00:58:03,276
No, I think we got it.
1037
00:58:03,276 --> 00:58:05,612
- I'm gonna fucking kill you.
- [photographer] Hey, Robbie, just--
1038
00:58:05,612 --> 00:58:07,239
- Take five.
- Yeah.
1039
00:58:08,198 --> 00:58:10,200
Okay, hon, what seems to be the--
Welcome back.
1040
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:12,702
Oh, fuck you.
You know exactly what the problem is.
1041
00:58:13,495 --> 00:58:17,874
Your little restructuring stunt
is a sick joke.
1042
00:58:17,874 --> 00:58:21,711
Robbie.
This has always been Ty Inc., right?
1043
00:58:22,837 --> 00:58:26,591
I mean, you've been an incredible helper,
but this has always been my company.
1044
00:58:26,591 --> 00:58:30,804
[scoffs] Are you fucking kidding?
1045
00:58:30,804 --> 00:58:34,099
Roberta... [sighs] ...you know
I don't like that rough language.
1046
00:58:34,766 --> 00:58:36,434
You know what I don't like?
1047
00:58:36,434 --> 00:58:42,065
Getting fucked out of a company I created,
that we created together.
1048
00:58:42,065 --> 00:58:44,526
That's not happening.
Why do you have to be so dramatic?
1049
00:58:44,526 --> 00:58:48,530
I am no longer cofounder,
and my salary has been reduced 75%.
1050
00:58:49,197 --> 00:58:51,575
[sighs] Okay.
Can you keep your voice down a little bit?
1051
00:58:51,575 --> 00:58:54,035
Don't fucking tell me
to keep my voice down!
1052
00:58:55,996 --> 00:58:57,789
That wasn't salary. That was commissions.
1053
00:58:57,789 --> 00:59:01,751
And commissions don't make sense at the
level we're working at now. They don't.
1054
00:59:01,751 --> 00:59:03,336
Do you even know
what you're talking about?
1055
00:59:03,336 --> 00:59:05,380
Yeah, I'm just doing what's necessary.
1056
00:59:05,964 --> 00:59:11,094
You know, running the real
actual business over here. Hmm?
1057
00:59:16,182 --> 00:59:19,895
And as far as expanding into the UK,
now's not the time.
1058
00:59:19,895 --> 00:59:23,607
But when it is,
I have our perfect partners lined up.
1059
00:59:25,108 --> 00:59:27,569
Actually came up with the idea
in the shower, believe it or not.
1060
00:59:28,361 --> 00:59:29,696
Jehovah's Witnesses.
1061
00:59:32,032 --> 00:59:34,409
The greatest one-on-one salesmen
in the world. How brilliant is that?
1062
00:59:34,409 --> 00:59:35,493
[scoffs]
1063
00:59:37,203 --> 00:59:41,041
[sighs] Robbie, I--
Honestly, what is the big deal?
1064
00:59:41,041 --> 00:59:43,501
I mean, we-- we're still--
we're still t-together.
1065
00:59:43,501 --> 00:59:46,880
We're not breaking up.
We're still partners in everything.
1066
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:49,132
[stammers] I mean, what is mine is yours.
1067
00:59:50,050 --> 00:59:52,510
[stammers]
You have the golden ticket. You have me.
1068
00:59:56,848 --> 00:59:58,099
What a prize.
1069
01:00:01,978 --> 01:00:04,189
I-- It's pointless to talk to you
when you're like this.
1070
01:00:04,189 --> 01:00:06,316
- I mean--
- When I stand up for myself, you mean.
1071
01:00:06,316 --> 01:00:08,109
Yeah, what a bummer for you.
1072
01:00:08,902 --> 01:00:12,989
You should call one of your easier women.
Lorraine from the coffee shop.
1073
01:00:13,531 --> 01:00:15,659
- Julie from the dry cleaner.
- Okay.
1074
01:00:16,201 --> 01:00:18,411
Any one of the dozens
from the trade circuit.
1075
01:00:18,411 --> 01:00:20,080
I know about them all, Ty.
1076
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:24,876
- Okay. We mutually agreed to occasion--
- Go fuck yourself.
1077
01:00:24,876 --> 01:00:29,047
You're a child. A selfish child.
1078
01:00:30,382 --> 01:00:36,596
And I cannot believe
how long I've put up with it. [sighs]
1079
01:00:37,222 --> 01:00:38,598
Hey, listen to me.
1080
01:00:39,224 --> 01:00:42,269
If it wasn't for me, you'd still be
wasting away at the Speedi-Shop.
1081
01:00:42,769 --> 01:00:46,147
Where's the gratitude?
I've given you an amazing life.
1082
01:00:47,524 --> 01:00:48,733
I made you.
1083
01:00:53,572 --> 01:00:56,408
[Jeremy] Mrs. Warner. We're waiting.
1084
01:00:56,408 --> 01:00:59,244
[Sheila]
You guys, this is definitely the one.
1085
01:00:59,244 --> 01:01:01,580
[gasping, laughing]
1086
01:01:02,747 --> 01:01:04,791
- No, you don't like it? What?
- We love it.
1087
01:01:04,791 --> 01:01:06,501
- Never take it off.
- [laughing]
1088
01:01:07,502 --> 01:01:11,506
Have I told you how excited we are
that this wedding is finally happening?
1089
01:01:11,506 --> 01:01:13,508
Oh. [sighs] Thank you.
1090
01:01:13,508 --> 01:01:15,677
So have you guys, uh, picked a honeymoon?
1091
01:01:15,677 --> 01:01:18,680
Yeah, Fiji. All of us, we're all going.
"Familymoon."
1092
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:23,018
A familymoon in Fiji, all right.
Better live this dream.
1093
01:01:25,812 --> 01:01:29,482
- Hello? Ty?
- [Ava, Maren] Hi, Mom!
1094
01:01:30,025 --> 01:01:31,234
[Maren] We're in here.
1095
01:01:32,527 --> 01:01:34,988
Ty ran away. Whoo-hoo! [laughs]
1096
01:01:34,988 --> 01:01:37,866
Uh, w-what? W-Where'd he go?
1097
01:01:37,866 --> 01:01:40,243
[Ava] Out the door. I don't know.
1098
01:01:40,827 --> 01:01:42,245
Maybe the new house?
1099
01:01:42,245 --> 01:01:44,039
Oh, my God. Um...
1100
01:01:44,039 --> 01:01:46,207
- Thank you so much for coming.
- Of course.
1101
01:01:46,207 --> 01:01:48,877
They're asleep in their room,
and I don't know how long I'll be, but--
1102
01:01:48,877 --> 01:01:50,045
Okay, don't worry. Just go.
1103
01:01:50,045 --> 01:01:51,880
- Thank you. Thank you.
- Yeah, be careful.
1104
01:02:12,359 --> 01:02:13,485
[Sheila] Ty?
1105
01:02:20,825 --> 01:02:21,952
Sweetheart?
1106
01:02:35,090 --> 01:02:36,091
Ty?
1107
01:02:55,485 --> 01:02:56,486
Ty?
1108
01:03:05,787 --> 01:03:09,749
Sweetheart? What happened? Are you okay?
1109
01:03:09,749 --> 01:03:12,043
I ca-- I can't. I just can't. I can't.
1110
01:03:12,961 --> 01:03:14,629
Can't what?
1111
01:03:15,422 --> 01:03:17,299
I can't do this.
1112
01:03:17,299 --> 01:03:20,844
Oh, honey, what's happened?
What's going on?
1113
01:03:20,844 --> 01:03:22,762
I just-- Getting married.
1114
01:03:23,763 --> 01:03:27,017
I, uh-- [sighs]
I don't know how to do family.
1115
01:03:28,685 --> 01:03:31,104
[inhales deeply]
I don't-- I don't know how to--
1116
01:03:31,104 --> 01:03:33,023
I don't know how to do this. I--
1117
01:03:34,065 --> 01:03:35,358
I didn't have a family.
1118
01:03:35,358 --> 01:03:38,653
[breathes shakily] No one ever--
Do you know-- No one ever even--
1119
01:03:38,653 --> 01:03:40,614
- Hey. Sweetheart.
- Do you-- Do you know--
1120
01:03:40,614 --> 01:03:44,826
- No one ever-- [stammers, cries]
- You're loved now.
1121
01:03:44,826 --> 01:03:47,370
The girls and I love you so much.
1122
01:03:52,042 --> 01:03:54,753
I-I can't be a pa-- I can't be a parent.
1123
01:04:00,425 --> 01:04:03,386
I'm-- I'm the child. [breathes shakily]
1124
01:04:05,222 --> 01:04:07,307
I need to be taken care of.
1125
01:04:10,769 --> 01:04:13,438
- [Sheila stammers]
- [sobbing]
1126
01:04:16,524 --> 01:04:17,609
[Sheila] Hey.
1127
01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:25,951
- It's okay. Sweetheart.
- [sobbing]
1128
01:04:27,911 --> 01:04:29,037
I need you.
1129
01:04:34,668 --> 01:04:36,670
Hold me like I'm a little boy.
1130
01:04:46,137 --> 01:04:48,098
[doorbell rings]
1131
01:04:56,398 --> 01:04:57,691
- Hi.
- Hi, ma'am.
1132
01:04:57,691 --> 01:05:00,402
I'm gonna need access
to the garage to unload.
1133
01:05:00,402 --> 01:05:05,490
- Oh. Uh-- Uh, yeah sure.
- Returned products, 48 boxes?
1134
01:05:05,490 --> 01:05:06,575
[mover] Okay.
1135
01:05:08,785 --> 01:05:09,869
All right. Thank you.
1136
01:05:10,370 --> 01:05:12,247
- Great. I'll, uh-- I'll open up.
- All right.
1137
01:05:21,423 --> 01:05:23,133
[Ty] Gorgeous light, isn't it?
1138
01:05:24,509 --> 01:05:27,971
I know you love window seats,
so I ordered a whole wall of them.
1139
01:05:33,184 --> 01:05:34,728
We need to talk.
1140
01:05:37,689 --> 01:05:40,191
Um, listen, the freak-out last night.
1141
01:05:40,191 --> 01:05:44,029
Um... [inhales deeply] It's over. [stammers]
1142
01:05:44,029 --> 01:05:46,239
I feel much better now. I do.
1143
01:05:46,239 --> 01:05:49,951
Oh, good. Well, I wish I did. [chuckles]
1144
01:05:52,078 --> 01:05:53,580
You don't wanna sit down?
1145
01:05:57,918 --> 01:06:00,503
[breathes deeply]
1146
01:06:02,130 --> 01:06:06,927
I'm in love with you, Ty.
But I didn't wanna be.
1147
01:06:08,053 --> 01:06:11,765
I was gonna stay single
for Maren and Ava, remember?
1148
01:06:12,891 --> 01:06:15,018
Spare them a man abandoning them.
1149
01:06:16,311 --> 01:06:22,442
But you convinced me you were different, devoted.
1150
01:06:23,401 --> 01:06:25,153
And then you pull this?
1151
01:06:27,697 --> 01:06:28,740
No.
1152
01:06:34,287 --> 01:06:36,706
No, you gotta
find someone else to be your mom.
1153
01:06:36,706 --> 01:06:38,291
- I'm booked already.
- Whoa, wait.
1154
01:06:38,291 --> 01:06:39,376
What are you saying?
1155
01:06:41,419 --> 01:06:47,050
I'm saying, I let you in to be a partner,
to really build something good together.
1156
01:06:47,050 --> 01:06:48,927
And if you can do that, wonderful.
1157
01:06:49,928 --> 01:06:52,389
But I'm not gonna stick around
if you plan to fuck it up.
1158
01:07:02,732 --> 01:07:06,152
I'm sorry. You're right.
1159
01:07:09,322 --> 01:07:11,741
You're right. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
1160
01:07:13,743 --> 01:07:17,372
I w-- I will never let you down again.
I swear.
1161
01:07:18,248 --> 01:07:22,586
Please don't leave. Please.
1162
01:07:23,086 --> 01:07:26,923
Everything good that's happened to me
is because of you guys. Did you know that?
1163
01:07:26,923 --> 01:07:32,512
We are bonded forever.
There's no one I'd rather be with.
1164
01:07:34,723 --> 01:07:36,057
Do you understand that?
1165
01:07:39,352 --> 01:07:40,353
You're my home.
1166
01:07:41,730 --> 01:07:43,315
You're my rock.
1167
01:07:44,900 --> 01:07:46,192
You're my life.
1168
01:07:46,192 --> 01:07:47,402
[sighs]
1169
01:07:58,455 --> 01:08:00,665
[radio host] Break out those raincoats
and umbrellas, folks.
1170
01:08:00,665 --> 01:08:02,083
We got a few days of rain...
1171
01:08:02,083 --> 01:08:04,711
- [Maya] Do you know what you want?
- Nuggets. Always.
1172
01:08:04,711 --> 01:08:06,755
Same. Sweet and sour or honey?
1173
01:08:07,631 --> 01:08:10,258
Barbecue. [scoffs]
What's wrong with you? [chuckles]
1174
01:08:10,258 --> 01:08:13,678
[radio host] Riots broke out at McDonald's
restaurants across the nation today
1175
01:08:13,678 --> 01:08:16,263
as the company
launched their Teenie Beanie promotion.
1176
01:08:16,263 --> 01:08:17,182
Yeah.
1177
01:08:17,182 --> 01:08:19,517
The first batch of Beanies was meant
to last two weeks, but ran out...
1178
01:08:19,517 --> 01:08:22,437
Can you believe something we work on
is that popular?
1179
01:08:22,437 --> 01:08:23,772
Yes.
1180
01:08:23,772 --> 01:08:26,316
["Alright" playing]
1181
01:08:36,243 --> 01:08:38,954
- Oh.
- What is happening?
1182
01:08:38,954 --> 01:08:42,331
[reporter] At one McDonald's,
a delivery man arriving with a case
1183
01:08:42,331 --> 01:08:45,043
of the Teenie Beanies was tackled
1184
01:08:45,043 --> 01:08:46,753
by overzealous customers.
1185
01:08:46,753 --> 01:08:50,589
Thanks to this little guy,
the Cubs sold out Wrigley Field today
1186
01:08:50,589 --> 01:08:52,467
for the first time in decades.
1187
01:08:52,467 --> 01:08:54,928
{\an8}Two divorcées unable to reach an agreement
1188
01:08:54,928 --> 01:08:58,138
{\an8}about how to split their
prized Beanie Baby collection
1189
01:08:58,138 --> 01:09:01,226
{\an8}were ordered to make their picks
under judicial supervision.
1190
01:09:01,226 --> 01:09:03,228
US Trade Rep Charlene Barshefsky
1191
01:09:03,228 --> 01:09:06,231
has turned over
the 40 Beanie Babies she procured
1192
01:09:06,231 --> 01:09:08,775
in Beijing during her trip
with President Clinton,
1193
01:09:08,775 --> 01:09:10,277
in violation of trade law.
1194
01:09:10,277 --> 01:09:12,571
Traffic on I-95 shut down for hours
1195
01:09:12,571 --> 01:09:15,699
{\an8}after a crashed semi
carrying Beanie Babies
1196
01:09:15,699 --> 01:09:18,118
{\an8}sparked a frenzy you have
to see to believe.
1197
01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:24,874
Looking good.
1198
01:09:26,500 --> 01:09:27,878
Did you see the latest numbers?
1199
01:09:27,878 --> 01:09:30,422
Billion dollar profit year. Congrats.
1200
01:09:31,047 --> 01:09:34,467
I'm gonna make over $700 million. Just me.
1201
01:09:35,886 --> 01:09:37,596
Did you see the truck crash
with the Beanies?
1202
01:09:37,596 --> 01:09:39,306
- Insane.
- [laughs]
1203
01:09:39,306 --> 01:09:41,223
- Poor Beanies. But--
- [chuckles]
1204
01:09:41,223 --> 01:09:44,393
I mean, managing the craze has
become a whole separate job.
1205
01:09:44,895 --> 01:09:48,397
Which is why I wanted
to talk to you, if you've got a sec.
1206
01:09:48,982 --> 01:09:49,816
I'm all ears.
1207
01:09:49,816 --> 01:09:52,569
I think it's time for you
to consider a company restructure.
1208
01:09:53,402 --> 01:09:54,988
And what do you mean by that?
1209
01:09:54,988 --> 01:09:58,700
Well, everyone knows you're
a superstar design and marketing genius,
1210
01:09:58,700 --> 01:09:59,868
like no one else alive.
1211
01:09:59,868 --> 01:10:02,454
I mean, it just--
it seems silly to distract you
1212
01:10:02,454 --> 01:10:05,790
from your natural talents
with mundane business chores.
1213
01:10:06,374 --> 01:10:07,792
I know Robbie used to handle all those.
1214
01:10:07,792 --> 01:10:10,462
I don't wanna hear--
I don't wanna hear that name. Thank you.
1215
01:10:11,004 --> 01:10:15,759
But this company has transformed into
a mega success since then. Thanks to you.
1216
01:10:16,426 --> 01:10:18,220
You just need
to keep channeling your brilliance
1217
01:10:18,220 --> 01:10:20,388
where it's most fun and fulfilling.
1218
01:10:20,388 --> 01:10:26,269
While you, you know, tap someone you trust
to handle pesky, day-to-day headaches.
1219
01:10:26,978 --> 01:10:30,523
Chief operating officer.
A consigliere. A right hand.
1220
01:10:32,025 --> 01:10:33,860
Someone to deal with all the boring stuff,
1221
01:10:33,860 --> 01:10:37,197
freeing you up to continue doing the real,
important work.
1222
01:10:42,786 --> 01:10:45,247
[sighs] I like it.
1223
01:10:45,747 --> 01:10:50,752
Yep. [mumbles] There we go.
You're the best. Keep it up.
1224
01:10:50,752 --> 01:10:52,629
[Maya]
I liked the bullshit and the boring stuff.
1225
01:10:52,629 --> 01:10:53,922
[mutters] What's next?
1226
01:10:53,922 --> 01:10:56,007
- [Maya] Solving puzzles, connecting dots...
- Oh, hi.
1227
01:10:56,007 --> 01:10:58,677
-...streamlining the system. Making it grow.
- I actually have this for you.
1228
01:10:58,677 --> 01:10:59,719
- Thank you.
- Thanks.
1229
01:10:59,719 --> 01:11:02,305
[Maya] Thank God for the great equalizer
of the Internet,
1230
01:11:02,889 --> 01:11:05,183
saving me from ten years
of higher education,
1231
01:11:05,183 --> 01:11:06,434
setting me up to take charge of--
1232
01:11:06,434 --> 01:11:10,188
- Everybody, listen up! Meet Blaine.
- [laughs] Hi, team.
1233
01:11:10,188 --> 01:11:13,900
[chuckles] Ty has brought me
on to put the fun in restructure
1234
01:11:13,900 --> 01:11:15,986
and take this company to the next level.
1235
01:11:15,986 --> 01:11:20,699
So, who's with me?
Who is ready to go big or go home?
1236
01:11:20,699 --> 01:11:22,867
Come on. Let me hear ya.
Let me hear you now.
1237
01:11:22,867 --> 01:11:24,578
- [applause]
- [Blaine] There you go.
1238
01:11:25,287 --> 01:11:26,871
[Rose] What a bastard.
1239
01:11:27,998 --> 01:11:30,041
Well, if it's any consolation,
1240
01:11:30,041 --> 01:11:32,502
everyone knows you're the one
really running the show.
1241
01:11:35,338 --> 01:11:36,423
It isn't.
1242
01:11:38,758 --> 01:11:41,052
I created and built this company,
1243
01:11:42,345 --> 01:11:45,765
and I have no rights, no salary claims.
1244
01:11:47,642 --> 01:11:49,185
How is that even possible?
1245
01:11:49,185 --> 01:11:52,564
'Cause the system isn't designed
for people like us.
1246
01:11:53,481 --> 01:11:54,941
Oh, fucking hell.
1247
01:11:57,027 --> 01:11:59,696
I spent my whole fucking life
taking care of people.
1248
01:12:01,072 --> 01:12:05,243
And I thought Ty was the one person
who didn't need that.
1249
01:12:10,498 --> 01:12:13,460
What the fuck is that? Come here.
1250
01:12:15,128 --> 01:12:18,632
- [breathing deeply]
- Oh, boy.
1251
01:12:21,384 --> 01:12:23,428
That ass-face is spying on me?
1252
01:12:23,428 --> 01:12:27,140
- All of us probably.
- Oh, that fucked-up motherfucker.
1253
01:12:27,140 --> 01:12:29,726
[sighs] He's heard a lot of stuff
I really wish he hadn't.
1254
01:12:29,726 --> 01:12:32,729
[Robbie sighs] There's gotta be a way
we can use this against him.
1255
01:12:33,480 --> 01:12:36,816
[breathes deeply]
1256
01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:40,320
Uh-huh. See you then. [chuckles]
1257
01:12:41,696 --> 01:12:43,949
Hey. Showtime.
1258
01:12:45,742 --> 01:12:47,285
[Robbie]
So, I just didn't see the brilliance
1259
01:12:47,285 --> 01:12:50,914
of the whole UK, Jehovah's Witness idea,
because I was so mad.
1260
01:12:50,914 --> 01:12:52,916
Sure, that temper of yours.
1261
01:12:52,916 --> 01:12:58,296
But it is pure genius. Uh... [scoffs]
...I just-- Not that I would tell him that.
1262
01:12:58,296 --> 01:13:01,925
Of course not. But Jehovah's Witnesses,
who'd have thunk?
1263
01:13:01,925 --> 01:13:04,052
It takes a brain like Ty's.
1264
01:13:04,052 --> 01:13:08,139
That total virtuoso,
off-the-charts mastermind.
1265
01:13:08,139 --> 01:13:11,476
Mm-hmm. So, you guys good again?
1266
01:13:12,644 --> 01:13:17,190
- Um, getting there. He'll probably buy me...
- Mmm.
1267
01:13:17,190 --> 01:13:21,444
...uh, some amazing gift,
and then I'll be putty in his hands again.
1268
01:13:21,444 --> 01:13:24,155
Hmm.
Haven't you been wanting to learn guitar?
1269
01:13:24,155 --> 01:13:26,074
- [mouthing words] I don't know.
- [mouthing words] No.
1270
01:13:27,617 --> 01:13:29,494
[Maya groaning]
1271
01:13:30,370 --> 01:13:33,540
-Beta, tell us what's wrong.
- [Maya grunts] Everything.
1272
01:13:37,168 --> 01:13:38,920
Thought I had it all figured out.
1273
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:41,631
But my boss hired some slick
idiot consultant instead.
1274
01:13:41,631 --> 01:13:44,926
You've been fired? After all that you
gave up, they fired you?
1275
01:13:45,427 --> 01:13:47,888
I still have my job.
I just wanted a better one.
1276
01:13:47,888 --> 01:13:51,474
Okay, you're 22.
These things, they take time.
1277
01:13:51,474 --> 01:13:53,435
[scoffs] I've been there five years.
1278
01:13:53,977 --> 01:13:57,314
I understand the company better
than anyone, and I see where it's going.
1279
01:13:57,314 --> 01:13:58,690
Which is where, exactly?
1280
01:13:59,649 --> 01:14:02,777
Well, soon we'll finally be able to keep
up with the demand for Beanie Babies.
1281
01:14:02,777 --> 01:14:04,070
Which will actually be a problem,
1282
01:14:04,070 --> 01:14:06,907
because a lot of their appeal
has been how hard they are to get.
1283
01:14:08,199 --> 01:14:09,576
So, you're saying this will be trouble?
1284
01:14:09,576 --> 01:14:12,037
Yeah, if we don't get ahead of it,
yeah, definitely.
1285
01:14:12,037 --> 01:14:13,455
How much time do we have?
1286
01:14:13,955 --> 01:14:17,208
I mean, it's not like there are
precise metrics for measuring, like...
1287
01:14:21,546 --> 01:14:24,049
Oh. Wait.
1288
01:14:27,052 --> 01:14:30,722
You'll be, uh, sick of me, I'll be
in Tokyo so much, as much as needed.
1289
01:14:30,722 --> 01:14:32,557
The Asian launch is my top focus.
1290
01:14:33,558 --> 01:14:35,185
- [speaking Japanese]
- Hey, team.
1291
01:14:35,977 --> 01:14:40,398
What a surprise. Uh, this is Maya Kumar,
our online girl.
1292
01:14:40,398 --> 01:14:43,652
Maya, this is Mr. Harano. Mr. Suzuki.
1293
01:14:43,652 --> 01:14:46,112
They're interested in partnering with us
for the Japan market.
1294
01:14:46,112 --> 01:14:48,156
We were just laying out a road map
1295
01:14:48,156 --> 01:14:51,743
for creating the kind of demand there
that we did here.
1296
01:14:51,743 --> 01:14:52,827
Great.
1297
01:14:52,827 --> 01:14:55,914
Then you already talked about our unique
relationship with the secondary market
1298
01:14:55,914 --> 01:14:59,000
and the crucial role it plays
in any smart strategy going forward?
1299
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:01,670
Yes. We covered how we control
the collector craze
1300
01:15:01,670 --> 01:15:03,421
with limited runs and retirements,
1301
01:15:03,421 --> 01:15:06,383
and how that fuels demand
for the entire line.
1302
01:15:06,383 --> 01:15:08,927
- [speaking Japanese]
- And how it's the unlimited runs
1303
01:15:08,927 --> 01:15:11,805
where we and our distribution partners
make the big bucks.
1304
01:15:11,805 --> 01:15:14,766
See, the primary market,
that's where the profits are.
1305
01:15:14,766 --> 01:15:20,772
And the secondary market, while handy,
um, well, it's secondary.
1306
01:15:20,772 --> 01:15:23,858
- [stammers] No offense, Maya.
- No, none taken.
1307
01:15:23,858 --> 01:15:26,570
Demand is what we all care about.
Demand is king.
1308
01:15:27,237 --> 01:15:30,073
It's amazing how we can now measure
and understand that demand
1309
01:15:30,073 --> 01:15:32,284
using secondary market tools to help us
1310
01:15:32,284 --> 01:15:34,661
steer our business
more skillfully than ever before.
1311
01:15:34,661 --> 01:15:38,373
Uh-huh. So, back to the rollout.
I think the smarter--
1312
01:15:38,373 --> 01:15:39,833
What are these tools?
1313
01:15:41,585 --> 01:15:46,756
Well, um, the most basic is using
eBay markups to measure demand.
1314
01:15:46,756 --> 01:15:51,177
So this is how much we ship, and this is
how much they're marking them up on eBay.
1315
01:15:52,220 --> 01:15:56,016
On the high end, we've seen
Peanut the Elephant go for $7,000.
1316
01:15:57,517 --> 01:16:00,770
And on the low end,
there's no markup at all.
1317
01:16:01,688 --> 01:16:04,316
- The more we ship, the lower the markup.
- [speaking Japanese]
1318
01:16:04,316 --> 01:16:08,987
But if we ever cross zero...
[imitates explosion] ...market collapses.
1319
01:16:08,987 --> 01:16:11,448
- Which will not happen.
- No.
1320
01:16:11,448 --> 01:16:13,575
- We actively monitor that threshold...
- [speaking Japanese]
1321
01:16:13,575 --> 01:16:16,828
...and we ship
up to 33 million Beanies a month,
1322
01:16:16,828 --> 01:16:19,080
before there's any cause for concern.
1323
01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:21,833
Right, 33 million.
1324
01:16:21,833 --> 01:16:24,377
But that's just our simplest projection.
1325
01:16:24,377 --> 01:16:28,006
And it's not the full picture,
because demand isn't static.
1326
01:16:28,006 --> 01:16:30,842
We now have a gold mine of data
from the eBay market.
1327
01:16:30,842 --> 01:16:34,012
Bids on a given model,
percentage where reserve is never met.
1328
01:16:34,012 --> 01:16:37,474
Timing of response bids,
plus a half a dozen others.
1329
01:16:37,474 --> 01:16:41,436
These metrics give us incredible
new insight on where demand is headed.
1330
01:16:42,729 --> 01:16:47,692
So in three months,
it'll be in this range.
1331
01:16:47,692 --> 01:16:50,654
So number is not 33 million.
1332
01:16:51,488 --> 01:16:54,866
It could be as low as 26 million.
1333
01:16:55,450 --> 01:16:57,661
I mean, worst-case scenario.
1334
01:16:57,661 --> 01:17:00,330
- [speaks Japanese]
- And thankfully, our worst-case scenario
1335
01:17:00,330 --> 01:17:02,749
is still overwhelming global demand.
1336
01:17:02,749 --> 01:17:05,919
[Maya] Mmm. Provided we understand,
respect and protect it.
1337
01:17:05,919 --> 01:17:09,464
So instead of just blindly pushing
our numbers up and hoping for the best,
1338
01:17:09,464 --> 01:17:13,677
we here at Ty grow our market
strategically, confidently,
1339
01:17:13,677 --> 01:17:16,596
using tools no one's ever used before.
1340
01:17:16,596 --> 01:17:19,099
I mean, we're light-years ahead
of everyone on this stuff.
1341
01:17:19,099 --> 01:17:22,143
And that's why we're the most
successful toy company in the world.
1342
01:17:23,770 --> 01:17:24,938
[knocking]
1343
01:17:27,232 --> 01:17:28,233
[door opens]
1344
01:17:28,233 --> 01:17:31,444
Well, that was great. They were impressed.
1345
01:17:31,444 --> 01:17:33,947
Good. I'm glad. But it wasn't for them.
1346
01:17:34,781 --> 01:17:36,825
My life is this company.
You know that, right?
1347
01:17:38,493 --> 01:17:41,454
They're totally in. They just asked
for the same terms as the UK.
1348
01:17:41,454 --> 01:17:45,292
Hey. No. We don't talk about the UK! Ever.
1349
01:17:45,292 --> 01:17:48,962
O-Okay. Yeah, I'll, um-- No worries.
I'll-- I'll fix it.
1350
01:17:48,962 --> 01:17:51,172
- They're gonna be incredible partners.
- Thank you.
1351
01:17:54,426 --> 01:17:57,262
Gotta be honest, Ty.
Blaine doesn't understand our company.
1352
01:17:57,762 --> 01:17:59,264
I don't think we need his advice.
1353
01:17:59,264 --> 01:18:02,475
Well, he has some things to learn,
but he has an amazing track record.
1354
01:18:02,475 --> 01:18:05,312
Maximizing profits
at soulless corporations.
1355
01:18:05,312 --> 01:18:08,940
But we're unique.
Our dysfunction is part of our heart.
1356
01:18:08,940 --> 01:18:12,110
I mean,
no one knows that better than you. And me.
1357
01:18:13,987 --> 01:18:18,366
I'm the person for this job, Ty.
You don't need outsiders.
1358
01:18:18,366 --> 01:18:20,994
I helped take Ty Inc.
from millions to billions.
1359
01:18:20,994 --> 01:18:22,245
And I've loved it.
1360
01:18:22,245 --> 01:18:25,540
Coming up with the poems,
running the website, fostering the market.
1361
01:18:25,540 --> 01:18:28,418
I mean, everything. But in all this time,
1362
01:18:28,418 --> 01:18:30,962
I've only ever had an "assistant" title
and an hourly wage.
1363
01:18:30,962 --> 01:18:32,255
You've had raises.
1364
01:18:32,756 --> 01:18:36,885
True. I started at minimum wage.
And now I make $12 an hour.
1365
01:18:39,262 --> 01:18:43,600
Well, I know a lot of people
that would like to make $12 an hour.
1366
01:18:45,185 --> 01:18:47,979
Considering all I do,
I think there's room for improvement.
1367
01:18:49,064 --> 01:18:51,733
We were the first company to have
a website for our customers.
1368
01:18:51,733 --> 01:18:55,070
Have you noticed everyone does that now?
That was my idea.
1369
01:18:55,654 --> 01:19:01,201
But using my resources, or my initiative.
I mean, I'm paying you to have ideas.
1370
01:19:01,201 --> 01:19:04,621
Well, I've netted a fortune
for this company, over and over.
1371
01:19:04,621 --> 01:19:07,332
I mean,
I understand our business inside and out,
1372
01:19:07,332 --> 01:19:10,043
and I'm telling you now,
there are signs of real trouble.
1373
01:19:10,669 --> 01:19:12,963
Have you seen that piece about this being
a bubble about to burst?
1374
01:19:12,963 --> 01:19:15,715
I don't accept babbling from outsiders.
1375
01:19:15,715 --> 01:19:18,552
Sure, but even some of our most
loyal collectors are getting frustrated.
1376
01:19:18,552 --> 01:19:22,347
Complaining about overproduction
and oversupply, pleading with us
1377
01:19:22,347 --> 01:19:24,724
to be more thoughtful
about new Beanie intros.
1378
01:19:24,724 --> 01:19:27,602
The collectors are idiots.
I hate the collectors.
1379
01:19:27,602 --> 01:19:31,898
- They're our bellwether, our engine.
- I'm the bellwether. I'm the engine.
1380
01:19:31,898 --> 01:19:33,441
Who's the billionaire here?
1381
01:19:34,442 --> 01:19:36,611
You. Of course.
1382
01:19:37,821 --> 01:19:41,283
But if there's turbulence ahead,
you need me helping navigate.
1383
01:19:41,283 --> 01:19:43,159
Not some clueless hotshot.
1384
01:19:43,159 --> 01:19:45,328
Okay,
Blaine might be great at old-school sales,
1385
01:19:45,328 --> 01:19:49,416
but our value is online now, and I run
that. I run fucking circles around that.
1386
01:19:52,627 --> 01:19:54,421
- Okay, I've heard you.
- No. Are you sure?
1387
01:19:55,547 --> 01:19:57,591
'Cause I thought I was being clear
the first time,
1388
01:19:57,591 --> 01:20:00,010
so I wanna make really sure
that I'm being clear now.
1389
01:20:00,010 --> 01:20:04,556
I'm your right hand, Ty. Me. Maya Kumar.
1390
01:20:08,184 --> 01:20:09,185
[sighs]
1391
01:20:11,438 --> 01:20:13,815
You know how much you mean to me
and this company.
1392
01:20:16,651 --> 01:20:17,652
I'll make it right.
1393
01:20:20,906 --> 01:20:22,198
- Good. Thank you.
- Okay.
1394
01:20:24,534 --> 01:20:27,370
[breathes deeply]
1395
01:20:32,959 --> 01:20:35,295
[Robbie sighs] I looked into suing him.
1396
01:20:35,295 --> 01:20:37,964
It would cost every penny I have,
and I still wouldn't win.
1397
01:20:38,882 --> 01:20:40,717
Have you considered poisoning him?
1398
01:20:42,135 --> 01:20:43,136
Countless times.
1399
01:20:43,136 --> 01:20:45,847
[chuckles] I'm sorry, hon.
1400
01:20:47,098 --> 01:20:48,099
Doughnut?
1401
01:20:49,768 --> 01:20:52,979
Uh, I think coffee will mask
the antifreeze better.
1402
01:20:52,979 --> 01:20:55,106
- [laughing]
- [Ty] And let me just say,
1403
01:20:55,106 --> 01:20:58,860
I couldn't be more thrilled
that this proud American company
1404
01:20:59,527 --> 01:21:01,321
is gonna take over the world.
1405
01:21:01,321 --> 01:21:04,199
Starting with the UK, and then beyond.
1406
01:21:04,199 --> 01:21:08,119
- So, everybody, buckle up! Let's do it!
- [applause]
1407
01:21:08,119 --> 01:21:09,871
Thank you, guys. Thank you.
1408
01:21:13,124 --> 01:21:16,211
[Robbie] They say good artists borrow
and great artists steal.
1409
01:21:17,379 --> 01:21:20,173
And Ty was the greatest
bullshit artist around.
1410
01:21:20,173 --> 01:21:21,633
[knocking]
1411
01:21:21,633 --> 01:21:23,176
[Ty] Robbie, baby. There you are.
1412
01:21:25,470 --> 01:21:27,222
- I've been looking for you.
- Oh?
1413
01:21:27,222 --> 01:21:28,765
- [Ty] Mm-hmm.
- Mmm.
1414
01:21:30,559 --> 01:21:31,685
Hope you're not too mad.
1415
01:21:32,811 --> 01:21:33,687
About?
1416
01:21:34,813 --> 01:21:38,400
Uh, foreign expansion plan.
My foreign expansion plan.
1417
01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:43,446
Oh. No. I'm glad it's finally happening.
1418
01:21:45,115 --> 01:21:46,449
- Good.
- [Robbie] Good.
1419
01:21:46,950 --> 01:21:48,034
[Ty] Good, good, good.
1420
01:21:50,161 --> 01:21:53,039
[sighs]
We have a killer UK deal in the works,
1421
01:21:54,082 --> 01:21:57,627
and our distribution partners
are raring to go.
1422
01:21:58,253 --> 01:21:59,129
Amazing.
1423
01:21:59,129 --> 01:22:01,423
It is amazing, yes. I'm excited.
1424
01:22:06,511 --> 01:22:08,138
Hey, the, uh-- the cats came in.
1425
01:22:08,138 --> 01:22:10,432
They're-- Listen,
they're a different color than you wanted.
1426
01:22:10,432 --> 01:22:12,434
- You wanna take a look at them?
- I'm a little busy.
1427
01:22:12,434 --> 01:22:13,518
Okay.
1428
01:22:14,519 --> 01:22:15,937
All right, hot sauce.
1429
01:22:17,606 --> 01:22:20,400
[sighs] Come find me when you can, okay?
1430
01:22:22,360 --> 01:22:24,154
I bet that guitar looks good on you.
1431
01:22:24,154 --> 01:22:26,698
- I-- You--
- [imitates electric guitar sound, laughs]
1432
01:22:26,698 --> 01:22:28,116
You're a mind reader.
1433
01:22:28,116 --> 01:22:30,702
- I knew you were gonna say that.
- [chuckles]
1434
01:22:30,702 --> 01:22:32,746
Come find me, okay?
I wanna show you the cats.
1435
01:22:32,746 --> 01:22:34,623
- [Robbie chuckles]
- [Ty sighs] Okay.
1436
01:22:37,334 --> 01:22:38,793
[sighs]
1437
01:22:48,595 --> 01:22:51,890
[Robbie] It took me a while to realize all
the ways hurt people hurt people.
1438
01:22:54,851 --> 01:22:58,813
Turns out, all you have to do to have
a first day of the rest of your life
1439
01:22:59,314 --> 01:23:00,315
is wake the fuck up.
1440
01:23:00,315 --> 01:23:04,110
[Rose] ...job's mainly the phones.
Four hours a day, plus some Saturdays.
1441
01:23:04,611 --> 01:23:06,696
- You said you're in school?
- [Maya] Yeah, I'm in school--
1442
01:23:06,696 --> 01:23:08,990
- [Ty, on intercom] Roberta, sweetie...
- [scoffs]
1443
01:23:08,990 --> 01:23:11,868
...you need to come tell me
which one of these looks like marigold.
1444
01:23:11,868 --> 01:23:14,955
You pressed "Intercom All" again. And no.
1445
01:23:16,790 --> 01:23:17,791
[mouthing words] Bye.
1446
01:23:22,379 --> 01:23:25,131
[Maya] Yeah, I'm in school,
but the schedule's not a problem.
1447
01:23:29,386 --> 01:23:30,428
All good?
1448
01:23:31,304 --> 01:23:32,722
Mexico, here we come.
1449
01:23:48,321 --> 01:23:49,781
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
1450
01:23:50,907 --> 01:23:52,534
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
1451
01:23:58,707 --> 01:23:59,833
[Ty] Robbie!
1452
01:24:04,880 --> 01:24:05,881
What's going on?
1453
01:24:10,510 --> 01:24:12,053
[engine starts]
1454
01:24:14,723 --> 01:24:15,765
Robbie.
1455
01:24:15,765 --> 01:24:17,893
[engine revs]
1456
01:24:45,837 --> 01:24:46,922
Oh, God.
1457
01:24:47,839 --> 01:24:50,508
[sighs] Okay.
1458
01:24:51,801 --> 01:24:54,054
[exhales] Shit.
1459
01:25:00,727 --> 01:25:01,895
[door squeaks]
1460
01:25:03,939 --> 01:25:06,274
[squeaks]
1461
01:25:13,448 --> 01:25:18,411
[Sheila whispering] Sorry. Excuse me.
Sorry. I'm so sorry. Sorry. Okay.
1462
01:25:18,912 --> 01:25:20,121
Just in time.
1463
01:25:20,121 --> 01:25:22,374
[breathes deeply]
1464
01:25:23,083 --> 01:25:24,251
You look cute.
1465
01:25:24,251 --> 01:25:26,253
- Oh, thanks.
- Stressed, but cute.
1466
01:25:26,253 --> 01:25:29,130
[chuckles] I'm already an hour late
to Ty's office holiday party.
1467
01:25:29,130 --> 01:25:31,758
I still can't believe he scheduled it
for the same night.
1468
01:25:32,259 --> 01:25:34,636
- Yeah, it's a busy time of year.
- [instructor] Great job, Dragons,
1469
01:25:34,636 --> 01:25:36,555
- go ahead and stand up.
- [students] Yes, sir.
1470
01:25:36,555 --> 01:25:39,599
Shake. Make circles.
1471
01:25:39,599 --> 01:25:40,892
Mom!
1472
01:25:41,560 --> 01:25:43,478
- They're all calling her a liar!
- [Sheila] What?
1473
01:25:43,478 --> 01:25:45,855
- [Jeremy] What happened?
- Hey, sweetheart. Come here.
1474
01:25:45,855 --> 01:25:48,233
- What's going on?
- [cries] Drew got a new Spooky
1475
01:25:48,233 --> 01:25:52,529
and the tag doesn't say my name anymore,
so now no one thinks I made it.
1476
01:25:52,529 --> 01:25:55,323
- Sweetheart, of course you made Spooky.
- Oh. Yeah.
1477
01:25:55,323 --> 01:25:58,368
I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding.
Let's see.
1478
01:26:00,328 --> 01:26:03,081
- Oh.
- Uh... [breathes deeply]
1479
01:26:03,081 --> 01:26:05,709
...this must be just a--
It's a factory mistake...
1480
01:26:05,709 --> 01:26:08,044
- Yes. Mm-hmm.
- ...or this is a fake Spooky.
1481
01:26:08,044 --> 01:26:11,006
- Mm-hmm. And, uh, whatever it is...
- It's not a real one.
1482
01:26:11,006 --> 01:26:13,758
- ...it's all gonna be all right, okay?
- [Sheila] Mm-hmm. Absolutely.
1483
01:26:13,758 --> 01:26:16,011
I'm gonna go see Ty now
and get this whole thing sorted out.
1484
01:26:16,011 --> 01:26:17,095
- [Jeremy] Mm-hmm.
- Yeah?
1485
01:26:17,095 --> 01:26:22,267
- [sniffles]
- In the meantime, I am so proud of you.
1486
01:26:22,267 --> 01:26:24,185
What you--
What's this you're wearing, huh?
1487
01:26:24,185 --> 01:26:25,353
- A green belt.
- Yeah!
1488
01:26:25,353 --> 01:26:28,607
- And I'm a yellow belt!
- [Jeremy, Sheila] Yes, you are.
1489
01:26:28,607 --> 01:26:29,691
Are you gonna celebrate?
1490
01:26:29,691 --> 01:26:31,484
- Yeah.
- Yes. We're having a pizza party, yeah?
1491
01:26:31,484 --> 01:26:32,736
- [Ava, Maren] Yay.
- Ooh.
1492
01:26:32,736 --> 01:26:35,989
- Yes, we are.
- Yeah, well, Mommy's gotta go.
1493
01:26:36,489 --> 01:26:38,658
But... [kisses] ...I love you.
[kisses] I love you.
1494
01:26:38,658 --> 01:26:40,535
- Love you.
- Everything's gonna be okay. Okay?
1495
01:26:40,535 --> 01:26:41,786
- Thank you.
- Call me later.
1496
01:26:42,787 --> 01:26:47,250
So before we go to this pizza party,
how about we burn this fake Spooky?
1497
01:26:47,918 --> 01:26:50,879
- [Ava] Mmm.
- Mmm. A little light arson, maybe?
1498
01:26:50,879 --> 01:26:52,214
[Maren] What is arson?
1499
01:26:52,214 --> 01:26:54,299
[jazz playing]
1500
01:26:54,299 --> 01:26:56,384
[people chattering]
1501
01:27:09,064 --> 01:27:11,107
[Maya] You know,
even when you built your own ship,
1502
01:27:11,983 --> 01:27:14,069
you still gotta protect it from pirates.
1503
01:27:14,903 --> 01:27:17,447
God, I can't wait
to be rid of that douchebag.
1504
01:27:18,490 --> 01:27:20,533
- [chuckles] Which one?
- [Maya chuckles]
1505
01:27:21,117 --> 01:27:25,622
[announcer] Here he is,
ladies and gentlemen. Ty Warner!
1506
01:27:25,622 --> 01:27:27,624
[crowd cheering]
1507
01:27:30,835 --> 01:27:35,298
Hey, everybody! Hi!
Look at all these festive faces.
1508
01:27:35,298 --> 01:27:37,175
I hope you're all enjoying the party?
1509
01:27:37,175 --> 01:27:38,593
- [crowd cheering]
- Whoo!
1510
01:27:38,593 --> 01:27:41,179
[Ty] And I hope everybody
is enjoying the present?
1511
01:27:41,179 --> 01:27:44,140
- [crowd] Yeah!
- Those little bears.
1512
01:27:44,140 --> 01:27:48,853
Those little bears, I guarantee are worth
$10,000 already on the World Wide Web.
1513
01:27:50,397 --> 01:27:56,778
Those little cuties! And as a holiday
bonus this year, everyone's--
1514
01:27:57,904 --> 01:28:00,490
- Drumroll, please.
- [crowd imitating drumroll]
1515
01:28:00,490 --> 01:28:03,034
Everyone's getting double their salary!
1516
01:28:03,034 --> 01:28:05,036
- [crowd cheering, whistling]
- What?
1517
01:28:06,246 --> 01:28:08,832
[Ty] Double your salary!
1518
01:28:12,544 --> 01:28:14,713
Feel the energy of the room!
1519
01:28:16,423 --> 01:28:18,508
Feel the energy of Ty Inc.!
1520
01:28:20,176 --> 01:28:22,804
Merry Christmas, everyone.
Merry Christmas.
1521
01:28:22,804 --> 01:28:24,681
Happy Hanukkah, whatever it is.
1522
01:28:25,390 --> 01:28:31,479
It has been an extra special year,
and we are an extra special company.
1523
01:28:31,479 --> 01:28:32,564
[crowd] Yes.
1524
01:28:32,564 --> 01:28:36,610
- We're amazingly unique, as you all know.
- [crowd] Yep.
1525
01:28:36,610 --> 01:28:40,280
And because of that,
we're doing amazingly well.
1526
01:28:40,280 --> 01:28:43,867
- We are winners.
- [crowd] Yes!
1527
01:28:43,867 --> 01:28:46,411
We create demand.
1528
01:28:46,411 --> 01:28:47,621
[crowd cheers]
1529
01:28:47,621 --> 01:28:50,165
And this year,
we're gonna move more product than ever!
1530
01:28:50,165 --> 01:28:51,708
[crowd] Yes!
1531
01:28:51,708 --> 01:28:54,211
- [Ty] Because at Ty Inc. you go big...
- Wait, what?
1532
01:28:54,211 --> 01:28:56,004
...or you go home! [chuckles]
1533
01:28:56,713 --> 01:28:59,090
- That's right.
- [Ty laughing]
1534
01:29:00,133 --> 01:29:03,511
How fun is this?
Uh, Blaine's coming on board full time.
1535
01:29:04,346 --> 01:29:06,348
- There he is.
- See a lot more of me. Right?
1536
01:29:06,348 --> 01:29:09,684
[Ty] So I can go all in
on new design and innovation.
1537
01:29:10,268 --> 01:29:16,316
I have loved taking Ty Inc.
from millions to billions.
1538
01:29:16,316 --> 01:29:18,360
[crowd cheers]
1539
01:29:18,360 --> 01:29:22,280
[Ty] From the website to retirements,
steering the market, everything.
1540
01:29:23,323 --> 01:29:25,867
And there's so much more to come.
1541
01:29:26,368 --> 01:29:29,663
We're headed for the best year ever!
1542
01:29:29,663 --> 01:29:31,706
[crowd cheering]
1543
01:29:32,624 --> 01:29:34,709
[Ty] Merry Christmas, everybody!
1544
01:29:34,709 --> 01:29:38,964
- Enjoy the party!
- [crowd chanting] Ty! Ty! Ty! Ty! Ty! Ty!
1545
01:29:38,964 --> 01:29:40,924
[chanting continues]
1546
01:29:45,971 --> 01:29:50,684
- [sighs] To think I actually believed him.
- Oh.
1547
01:29:51,560 --> 01:29:52,978
I'm sorry it hurts, honey.
1548
01:29:54,271 --> 01:29:56,982
Your problem is, you don't know
you're playing a rigged game.
1549
01:29:58,817 --> 01:30:00,235
But if it's any comfort,
1550
01:30:00,235 --> 01:30:04,322
at least you had the privilege
of believing in the first place.
1551
01:30:07,492 --> 01:30:08,326
[scoffs]
1552
01:30:09,619 --> 01:30:11,079
Oh, honey.
1553
01:30:13,707 --> 01:30:17,627
You gotta come on a jump sometime.
[laughs]
1554
01:30:17,627 --> 01:30:22,841
God, he looks terrible. [laughs]
Look at the bags under his eyes.
1555
01:30:22,841 --> 01:30:23,967
[Rose clears throat]
1556
01:30:24,926 --> 01:30:26,344
I've been looking for you, Maya.
1557
01:30:28,680 --> 01:30:29,764
I've been right here.
1558
01:30:32,225 --> 01:30:34,311
Oh, don't be mad.
1559
01:30:34,311 --> 01:30:35,896
Blaine's just a figurehead.
1560
01:30:37,230 --> 01:30:40,609
You know you're always
my secret weapon. You know that.
1561
01:30:43,612 --> 01:30:45,238
- [breathes deeply]
- [Ty] Look,
1562
01:30:45,947 --> 01:30:47,782
I wanted to tell you, I'm, uh...
1563
01:30:50,076 --> 01:30:55,206
bumping you up to $20 an hour.
Twenty smackeroos.
1564
01:30:58,585 --> 01:31:02,756
- I'm done, Ty. I'm through.
- What do y-- What do you mean?
1565
01:31:02,756 --> 01:31:08,053
I'm not your secret weapon. I'm
not a secret, and I'm not yours. I quit.
1566
01:31:10,764 --> 01:31:11,765
- Wanna dance?
- Mmm.
1567
01:31:11,765 --> 01:31:13,558
- Maya. Maya.
- Absolutely.
1568
01:31:13,558 --> 01:31:15,560
- Okay.
- [Rose laughs, sighs]
1569
01:31:17,771 --> 01:31:20,273
[Maya] I never imagined
just walking away from Ty.
1570
01:31:23,318 --> 01:31:27,614
[Robbie] But once you do...
[chuckles] ...man, does it feel good.
1571
01:31:41,086 --> 01:31:46,466
[Sheila] The thing about Ty is,
he draws you in, wins your trust.
1572
01:31:50,136 --> 01:31:55,767
When things get bumpy, you just think
he's complicated, a little damaged.
1573
01:31:58,311 --> 01:31:59,938
You wanna keep believing in him...
1574
01:32:03,191 --> 01:32:04,192
until...
1575
01:32:07,779 --> 01:32:09,698
you just can't anymore.
1576
01:32:14,744 --> 01:32:16,788
[people chattering]
1577
01:32:25,547 --> 01:32:28,967
I mean, what's the big problem
with disillusionment, right?
1578
01:32:28,967 --> 01:32:33,847
I mean, who wants to live
in "illusionment?" [sighs] Not me.
1579
01:32:34,514 --> 01:32:36,308
Hey, Maya. Have you seen Ty?
1580
01:32:37,183 --> 01:32:41,021
- Oh, Sheila. Oh, no.
- [chuckles]
1581
01:32:41,021 --> 01:32:46,026
I want so much better for you.
For all of us. It's--
1582
01:32:47,319 --> 01:32:48,320
[sighs]
1583
01:32:50,030 --> 01:32:51,031
You okay, honey?
1584
01:32:51,031 --> 01:32:54,200
Oh, yeah. Yeah. I will be.
1585
01:32:54,826 --> 01:32:55,660
Yeah?
1586
01:32:57,537 --> 01:32:59,581
- Can I ask you a question?
- Yeah.
1587
01:33:01,708 --> 01:33:04,961
Why did--
Why did Ty change the Spooky tag?
1588
01:33:06,338 --> 01:33:07,756
Is he-- [inhales sharply]
1589
01:33:08,381 --> 01:33:10,884
Is he so insecure
he had to take credit away from a child?
1590
01:33:12,594 --> 01:33:13,595
[sighs]
1591
01:33:16,181 --> 01:33:20,852
You know, it's-- The funny thing is, like,
all the ones with the Ava tag
1592
01:33:21,353 --> 01:33:24,189
are worth way more
since he discontinued them.
1593
01:33:24,189 --> 01:33:25,273
Like--
1594
01:33:27,442 --> 01:33:29,903
But you know, it's not gonna matter
much longer, 'cause...
1595
01:33:31,154 --> 01:33:32,155
What do you mean?
1596
01:33:32,656 --> 01:33:34,950
Oh, well, I mean--
1597
01:33:34,950 --> 01:33:37,827
- [phone rings]
- [bartender] Main bar.
1598
01:33:37,827 --> 01:33:40,872
It's all gonna go... [imitates explosion]
1599
01:33:40,872 --> 01:33:44,709
[bartender]
Okay, got a scotch and a chocolate milk?
1600
01:33:44,709 --> 01:33:45,961
Well, the scotch I can do,
1601
01:33:45,961 --> 01:33:49,798
but we don't do a lot of chocolate milk,
so, I-- It'll take us--
1602
01:33:50,757 --> 01:33:55,762
- Yes, sir. Room 1433. We are on it.
- Oh.
1603
01:34:18,368 --> 01:34:19,661
[knocking]
1604
01:34:20,662 --> 01:34:24,124
[sighs] Did you order something?
1605
01:34:24,124 --> 01:34:28,461
No. No, I did not.
1606
01:34:29,254 --> 01:34:30,547
[knocking]
1607
01:34:30,547 --> 01:34:31,631
[both groaning]
1608
01:34:31,631 --> 01:34:35,468
Okay. I'll tell them to get lost.
1609
01:34:43,685 --> 01:34:45,228
[shower water running]
1610
01:34:50,650 --> 01:34:51,818
You must be Sheila.
1611
01:34:54,946 --> 01:34:56,031
I'm Robbie.
1612
01:34:58,867 --> 01:35:01,119
[Ty] Hey, did I tell you I bought a hotel?
1613
01:35:02,329 --> 01:35:03,580
[water stops]
1614
01:35:03,580 --> 01:35:05,373
[Robbie]
I'm sorry this is how we're meeting.
1615
01:35:05,373 --> 01:35:08,793
[Ty humming]
1616
01:35:08,793 --> 01:35:12,005
It doesn't mean anything, if that helps.
1617
01:35:14,341 --> 01:35:16,092
I just like to show him who's boss.
1618
01:35:21,806 --> 01:35:23,892
- [faucet opens]
- [water running]
1619
01:35:23,892 --> 01:35:24,976
[faucet closes]
1620
01:35:32,025 --> 01:35:33,276
[knocking]
1621
01:35:35,820 --> 01:35:37,948
What the fuck are you doing here?
1622
01:35:37,948 --> 01:35:40,200
You are making a huge mistake, Robbie.
1623
01:35:40,825 --> 01:35:43,745
We-- [stammers]
I mean, we belong together. Who's that?
1624
01:35:43,745 --> 01:35:46,289
You followed me to Mexico.
1625
01:35:48,166 --> 01:35:52,879
Of course I followed you. I'll follow you
anywhere. We-- We belong together.
1626
01:35:54,005 --> 01:35:58,510
No one will ever love you
the way that I do.
1627
01:36:01,054 --> 01:36:02,055
Promise?
1628
01:36:06,893 --> 01:36:08,645
[sighs]
1629
01:36:10,230 --> 01:36:11,314
Who was that?
1630
01:36:12,607 --> 01:36:13,775
Sheila.
1631
01:36:15,277 --> 01:36:16,278
She's lovely.
1632
01:36:16,945 --> 01:36:21,533
No. [sighs] No, no, no. No!
1633
01:36:21,533 --> 01:36:23,952
What happened? What did you say to her?
1634
01:36:24,452 --> 01:36:26,913
- Nothing, really.
- Okay, good. If I have her call you,
1635
01:36:26,913 --> 01:36:29,833
will you just say this was--
this was work? [sighs]
1636
01:36:30,333 --> 01:36:31,626
What did you think it was?
1637
01:36:33,336 --> 01:36:36,089
[Ty breathing heavily]
1638
01:36:36,923 --> 01:36:38,091
Robbie!
1639
01:36:39,885 --> 01:36:44,180
You're fired, you hear me?
You get nothing! You get nothing, Robbie!
1640
01:36:44,180 --> 01:36:45,682
You're dead to me!
1641
01:36:47,475 --> 01:36:48,518
Robbie!
1642
01:36:48,518 --> 01:36:52,147
[banging]
1643
01:36:52,147 --> 01:36:53,273
[Ty] Robbie!
1644
01:36:54,441 --> 01:36:55,275
Wanna swim?
1645
01:37:05,368 --> 01:37:06,661
[sighs] Come on.
1646
01:37:09,247 --> 01:37:10,248
[elevator dings]
1647
01:37:10,999 --> 01:37:12,709
[breathes heavily] Okay, Sheila. Listen.
1648
01:37:12,709 --> 01:37:13,793
Oh!
1649
01:37:13,793 --> 01:37:17,881
- Oh, fuck. Ow.
- [Ty] Oh, God. Wha--
1650
01:37:17,881 --> 01:37:19,007
[elevator dings]
1651
01:37:19,507 --> 01:37:22,302
My face. Oh, God.
1652
01:37:24,429 --> 01:37:27,265
Oh, God. Oh, God.
1653
01:37:30,894 --> 01:37:35,607
[announcer, on radio] President Clinton
asked noted educator Dr. Maya Angelou
1654
01:37:35,607 --> 01:37:39,486
to compose a poem for this historic day.
1655
01:37:40,070 --> 01:37:42,739
[Maya] If we knew at the beginning
what we did by the end,
1656
01:37:42,739 --> 01:37:44,157
would we do it all the same?
1657
01:37:44,157 --> 01:37:46,326
[Maya Angelou] ...and Americans everywhere.
1658
01:37:46,326 --> 01:37:51,331
A Rock, A River, A Tree
1659
01:37:51,331 --> 01:37:54,668
Hosts to species long since departed...
1660
01:37:54,668 --> 01:37:58,004
Oh. Who are you?
1661
01:37:58,713 --> 01:38:00,590
Maya. New receptionist.
1662
01:38:00,590 --> 01:38:05,303
I saw you on your way out a few weeks ago,
but, um, we didn't get to meet.
1663
01:38:05,303 --> 01:38:09,975
Oh. Well, welcome, new receptionist Maya.
1664
01:38:09,975 --> 01:38:11,685
- Thank you.
- Let me ask you something.
1665
01:38:12,811 --> 01:38:14,104
Do you stand up for yourself?
1666
01:38:14,104 --> 01:38:18,358
[laughs] Yeah. Every day.
1667
01:38:18,358 --> 01:38:19,901
Is Ty here?
1668
01:38:19,901 --> 01:38:22,195
Yeah, and he's running
super late for an appointment,
1669
01:38:22,195 --> 01:38:23,697
- so he should be leaving any second.
- Hey, out.
1670
01:38:23,697 --> 01:38:25,699
- I'm just here to pick up...
- You're not welcome here.
1671
01:38:25,699 --> 01:38:28,493
- ...the rest of my things. No, I--
- Get out. Out!
1672
01:38:29,786 --> 01:38:33,665
- Did you get a face-lift? You didn't.
- Don't touch my face.
1673
01:38:33,665 --> 01:38:37,335
- Do not touch my face. Out, please.
- [Robbie laughing]
1674
01:38:37,335 --> 01:38:41,882
I should tell you, the foreign
expansion plan, it was a terrible idea.
1675
01:38:41,882 --> 01:38:43,258
The UK is a disaster.
1676
01:38:43,258 --> 01:38:46,428
Oh, no. Don't tell me your door-to-door
preachers aren't working out?
1677
01:38:46,428 --> 01:38:48,680
Oh, don't give me that.
You raved about the idea.
1678
01:38:48,680 --> 01:38:51,433
You said-- You said it was brilliant.
You said it was genius.
1679
01:38:51,433 --> 01:38:54,436
I don't recall saying that. Not to you.
1680
01:38:57,981 --> 01:39:00,025
You're a f-- You're a fraud.
1681
01:39:00,025 --> 01:39:04,613
And I will never, ever,
ever talk to you again. Ever! [sighs]
1682
01:39:04,613 --> 01:39:06,114
- [Robbie] Aren't you late?
- [phone ringing]
1683
01:39:06,114 --> 01:39:08,950
I'm the one asking you to leave.
I'm asking you to get out.
1684
01:39:08,950 --> 01:39:10,035
Could we have security?
1685
01:39:10,035 --> 01:39:11,870
Your assistant said
you're late for an appointment.
1686
01:39:11,870 --> 01:39:14,581
- [Ty, Robbie continue, indistinct]
- Ty Inc. How can I help you?
1687
01:39:14,581 --> 01:39:16,958
[Sheila] This is Sheila Harper
from Oak Brook Lighting.
1688
01:39:16,958 --> 01:39:19,461
I'm at Mr. Warner's new residence
for our meeting.
1689
01:39:19,461 --> 01:39:22,589
Yeah, I'm so sorry.
He's obviously running really late.
1690
01:39:22,589 --> 01:39:25,759
Um, he's--
he's in the middle of something right now.
1691
01:39:25,759 --> 01:39:28,345
Well, I've been waiting since 9:00.
Does he need to reschedule?
1692
01:39:28,345 --> 01:39:32,891
Honestly, if I were you,
I'd just bail. [inhales sharply]
1693
01:39:34,100 --> 01:39:36,853
[Maya] But we didn't bail. We leaned in.
1694
01:39:40,523 --> 01:39:43,652
[sighs] Are we sure
we don't have any other options?
1695
01:39:43,652 --> 01:39:46,279
I'm kinda new here, Ty.
1696
01:39:46,279 --> 01:39:48,782
[sighs] It's such a mess over there.
1697
01:39:50,784 --> 01:39:52,035
God, I hate this!
1698
01:39:53,161 --> 01:39:54,371
Okay, dial for me, please.
1699
01:39:54,371 --> 01:39:55,455
Yep.
1700
01:39:57,540 --> 01:39:59,918
[sighing, mutters]
1701
01:39:59,918 --> 01:40:01,253
- [line ringing]
- [Ty] Shut the door.
1702
01:40:01,253 --> 01:40:02,337
[Maya] Mm-hmm.
1703
01:40:05,840 --> 01:40:07,676
- [Robbie] Hello.
- Roberta.
1704
01:40:08,260 --> 01:40:11,721
Well, look what the understuffed
posable cat dragged in.
1705
01:40:12,722 --> 01:40:14,266
I think you know why I'm calling.
1706
01:40:14,266 --> 01:40:18,186
Um, listen, I need you to come back and,
uh, help me out. I need you to fix the UK.
1707
01:40:19,396 --> 01:40:20,397
No.
1708
01:40:20,397 --> 01:40:23,775
Okay. Robbie, please,
I-- I really just need you, okay?
1709
01:40:24,359 --> 01:40:26,027
W-Why would you need me, Ty?
1710
01:40:29,573 --> 01:40:31,866
Because I c-- I can't do it without you.
1711
01:40:33,159 --> 01:40:34,494
[Robbie] I'm sorry, what was that?
1712
01:40:34,494 --> 01:40:37,122
"I can't do it without you,"
is what I said.
1713
01:40:37,122 --> 01:40:39,749
No fucking shit.
1714
01:40:41,585 --> 01:40:43,253
But the answer's still no. [sighs]
1715
01:40:43,253 --> 01:40:46,131
[Ty] What? Why? Why?
1716
01:40:46,631 --> 01:40:50,760
Because I'll never, ever, ever, ever,
ever, ever work for you again, Ty. Ever.
1717
01:40:51,845 --> 01:40:53,221
But you can work for me.
1718
01:40:55,181 --> 01:40:58,351
- What are you talking about?
- [Robbie] I'm starting my own company.
1719
01:40:58,351 --> 01:40:59,853
And it happens to be available
1720
01:40:59,853 --> 01:41:03,356
to be the exclusive wholesaler
of Ty products in the UK.
1721
01:41:05,025 --> 01:41:08,361
Wait, are you being-- are you being--
Is this-- Are you being serious?
1722
01:41:08,361 --> 01:41:13,742
Deadly. You want me to fix the UK?
Those are my terms. I run the UK.
1723
01:41:13,742 --> 01:41:18,079
[sighs] Okay, okay, I'm gonna put you
on hold for two seconds.
1724
01:41:18,079 --> 01:41:20,123
- [dial pad clicks]
- God Almighty!
1725
01:41:22,167 --> 01:41:25,587
[breathes shakily] God!
1726
01:41:28,381 --> 01:41:31,635
- [dial pad clicks]
- Okay, just get it fixed.
1727
01:41:31,635 --> 01:41:34,179
I will. Nice doing business with you, Ty.
1728
01:41:34,179 --> 01:41:36,556
- Oh, shut up. [mutters]
- [dial pad clicking]
1729
01:41:36,556 --> 01:41:38,683
["Cry Baby" playing]
1730
01:41:38,683 --> 01:41:40,227
[Robbie] He got one thing right.
1731
01:41:44,272 --> 01:41:46,316
You gotta build your own fucking ship.
1732
01:41:47,817 --> 01:41:48,944
So I did.
1733
01:41:50,362 --> 01:41:54,074
We all did. And not a minute too soon.
1734
01:41:56,993 --> 01:41:59,829
[newscaster 1] The Beanie market
has crashed spectacularly.
1735
01:41:59,829 --> 01:42:03,541
[newscaster 2] From gold to garbage.
The Beanie Baby bubble has popped.
1736
01:42:04,417 --> 01:42:06,545
{\an8}A veritable Beanie Baby apocalypse.
1737
01:42:07,546 --> 01:42:10,257
[Robbie]
By the end of '99, all that money,
1738
01:42:10,257 --> 01:42:15,053
$20 billion worth of Beanie wealth, evaporated.
1739
01:42:19,140 --> 01:42:21,351
That's the whole point of America, right?
1740
01:42:21,351 --> 01:42:24,479
Everybody chasing something
too good to be true.
1741
01:42:30,777 --> 01:42:32,445
[Maya] And there's always another hustle.
1742
01:42:34,823 --> 01:42:36,908
{\an8}Always a next new thing.
1743
01:42:40,245 --> 01:42:41,997
[Maya] There's always another player.
1744
01:42:44,457 --> 01:42:47,168
What you gotta do is beat the game.
1745
01:42:47,168 --> 01:42:49,337
Maya-san... [speaking Japanese]
1746
01:42:49,337 --> 01:42:52,924
We'd like to discuss something with you.
This card will be a big hit.
1747
01:42:54,009 --> 01:42:55,635
So these are our "Pokemans"?
1748
01:42:55,635 --> 01:42:56,928
Pokémons.
1749
01:42:56,928 --> 01:42:58,221
- Hmm? What?
- Pokémon.
1750
01:42:58,221 --> 01:42:59,598
- Pokémon.
- Just Pokémon.
1751
01:43:00,098 --> 01:43:01,600
- [Maya's mom] Just Pokémon.
- Pokémon. Okay.
1752
01:43:01,600 --> 01:43:03,727
[Maya's mom laughing]
Just keep on poking them on.
1753
01:43:05,145 --> 01:43:09,649
It's so, so gorgeous here. And warm.
1754
01:43:10,233 --> 01:43:11,902
[chuckles] You should come visit.
1755
01:43:12,903 --> 01:43:14,988
[Jeremy] And you really think
you're there for good?
1756
01:43:14,988 --> 01:43:16,823
Oh, yeah. I mean, Ava's Spookies,
1757
01:43:16,823 --> 01:43:23,330
they paid for the whole house and the car
and both girls' school through college.
1758
01:43:23,330 --> 01:43:25,040
- [Jeremy] Oh, Jesus.
- Uh-huh.
1759
01:43:25,040 --> 01:43:27,125
- [Jeremy] Seconds before the crash.
- Uh-huh.
1760
01:43:27,667 --> 01:43:29,920
[Jeremy]
You really did get out just in time.
1761
01:43:29,920 --> 01:43:31,671
Mmm. In so many ways.
1762
01:43:32,964 --> 01:43:35,967
- [Jeremy] You sound happy. For real.
- [chuckles]
1763
01:43:35,967 --> 01:43:38,678
I am. You know, I really am. I--
1764
01:43:39,221 --> 01:43:40,889
Do you know I realized
what the problem was.
1765
01:43:40,889 --> 01:43:42,974
It wasn't relying on the wrong man.
1766
01:43:42,974 --> 01:43:46,186
It was, I don't know,
having the wrong man rely on us.
1767
01:43:58,740 --> 01:44:00,742
[song continues]
