I thought you left.
20
00:02:40,288 --> 00:02:42,355
no, I'm here.
I made coffee.
21
00:02:42,390 --> 00:02:43,890
oh, cool.
22
00:02:43,908 --> 00:02:45,992
i hope you don't mind
that I'm watching
your pilot.
23
00:02:46,027 --> 00:02:48,645
uh, no.
I don't mind.
24
00:02:48,679 --> 00:02:50,764
since you would
never show it to me.
25
00:02:50,798 --> 00:02:54,017
- I would have
showed it to you.
- ( laughs )
26
00:02:54,051 --> 00:02:56,419
what?
what's so funny?
27
00:02:56,454 --> 00:02:58,371
oh, no.
I was laughing at you.
28
00:02:58,406 --> 00:03:01,407
oh. I thought you were
laughing at the show.
29
00:03:01,425 --> 00:03:03,043
I was laughing
at the show earlier.
30
00:03:03,077 --> 00:03:05,912
- oh yeah?
- yeah. which one's
your client?
31
00:03:05,930 --> 00:03:07,747
the black kid.
he plays renoir.
32
00:03:07,765 --> 00:03:10,133
oh really?
I hate him.
33
00:03:16,324 --> 00:03:18,608
do you really need to give
me a hard time today, ma?
34
00:03:18,643 --> 00:03:20,827
everyone's giving me
a hard time today, turtle.
35
00:03:20,861 --> 00:03:22,796
I'm the laughingstock
of the salon.
36
00:03:22,830 --> 00:03:24,364
come on,
what's the big deal?
37
00:03:24,398 --> 00:03:25,765
did you see
this caption?
38
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,734
"she's dating him?!"
39
00:03:27,768 --> 00:03:30,303
question mark,
exclamation point, in bold.
40
00:03:30,338 --> 00:03:32,188
- at least I look good.
- no, you don't.
41
00:03:32,223 --> 00:03:34,658
you look like shit.
sneakers with a tuxedo?
42
00:03:34,709 --> 00:03:36,976
- they're patent leather.
- they're ridiculous.
43
00:03:37,011 --> 00:03:40,563
- you know, ma, this is really
not a great birthday call.
- maybe it's a wakeup call.
44
00:03:40,598 --> 00:03:43,466
you're no spring
chicken anymore, turtle.
get it together.
45
00:03:43,501 --> 00:03:47,203
- I'm trying.
- I know you are.
46
00:03:47,238 --> 00:03:49,072
and I love you.
47
00:03:49,106 --> 00:03:50,340
I love you too.
48
00:03:50,374 --> 00:03:51,941
have a happy birthday.
49
00:03:51,976 --> 00:03:54,177
thanks.
50
00:03:54,211 --> 00:03:56,246
jesus, take it easy.
51
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:57,881
I didn't even
ask her to watch it.
52
00:03:57,915 --> 00:03:59,683
and who says something
like that anyway?
53
00:03:59,734 --> 00:04:01,785
- maybe she's trying
to be constructive.
- I hate him?
54
00:04:01,819 --> 00:04:04,487
- that's constructive?
- I hate when people
tell me they hate me.
55
00:04:04,522 --> 00:04:05,955
I didn't even ask
her to sleep over.
56
00:04:05,990 --> 00:04:07,557
- she just did.
- that's bullshit.
57
00:04:07,591 --> 00:04:09,726
this morning
she used my french press
and broke it.
58
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,228
jesus christ, e.
you know what?
59
00:04:12,263 --> 00:04:14,364
- now I hate her.
- so do i. she's done.
60
00:04:14,398 --> 00:04:16,866
okay, so she's done.
so why are you letting
her make you insecure?
61
00:04:16,901 --> 00:04:18,401
I'm not letting her
make me insecure.
62
00:04:18,436 --> 00:04:20,520
only a bitch lets a bitch
make them insecure anyway.
63
00:04:20,554 --> 00:04:23,139
I'm not letting her
make me insecure, drama.
but you of all people
64
00:04:23,174 --> 00:04:25,075
should know how stressful
a test screening can be.
65
00:04:25,109 --> 00:04:27,944
I'm on a hit series now.
test screenings are
long behind me.
66
00:04:27,978 --> 00:04:29,946
so sorry if I can't
coagulate with you.
67
00:04:29,980 --> 00:04:32,415
I don't think you're using
that word properly, johnny.
68
00:04:32,450 --> 00:04:35,151
- really?
- whatever. just pray this
test screening goes well.
69
00:04:35,186 --> 00:04:37,771
'cause charlie really needs it
and so does the murphy group.
70
00:04:37,805 --> 00:04:39,973
you should have let me
do that cameo they
wanted me to do.
71
00:04:40,007 --> 00:04:41,775
then you'd both
have had no worries.
72
00:04:41,809 --> 00:04:43,610
you might have.
I don't think scorsese'd
73
00:04:43,644 --> 00:04:46,546
- be thrilled to see you
rolling around on the cw.
- no, you're probably right.
74
00:04:46,580 --> 00:04:48,415
- ew, what are you doing?
- we're gonna pray.
75
00:04:48,449 --> 00:04:49,883
get off me.
76
00:04:49,917 --> 00:04:52,218
- what are you
guys doing here?
- turtle!
77
00:04:52,253 --> 00:04:55,021
- the birthday boy.
- happy birthday, turtle.
78
00:04:55,055 --> 00:04:57,574
- thanks, vin.
- I made you your favorite,
79
00:04:57,608 --> 00:04:59,375
with a little twist.
80
00:04:59,410 --> 00:05:01,811
interesting.
thanks.
81
00:05:01,846 --> 00:05:03,463
what's wrong?
82
00:05:03,497 --> 00:05:05,582
- my mother's mean.
- drama: she always was.
83
00:05:05,616 --> 00:05:08,785
remember your 13th birthday?
she got you a weight watchers
membership.
84
00:05:08,819 --> 00:05:10,553
- didn't until now.
- what did she say?
85
00:05:10,588 --> 00:05:13,139
she saw the "people"
magazine pictures.
86
00:05:14,508 --> 00:05:16,375
- the sneakers.
- she thinks I'm a loser.
87
00:05:16,393 --> 00:05:19,062
turtle, you're in
a magazine that's published
all across the world.
88
00:05:19,096 --> 00:05:20,647
you're not a loser.
now knock it off.
89
00:05:20,681 --> 00:05:23,183
come on, we have a lot
of fun planned for you
this birthday.
90
00:05:23,217 --> 00:05:24,567
yeah?
what are we doing?
91
00:05:24,602 --> 00:05:27,220
I have a little practice
to do on the track.
92
00:05:27,238 --> 00:05:29,022
so what, you want me
to drive you there?
93
00:05:29,056 --> 00:05:31,124
no, but I do want
you to drive.
94
00:05:34,895 --> 00:05:36,896
if you bump me, drama,
I'm gonna kill you.
95
00:05:36,914 --> 00:05:39,582
if anybody bumps
anybody in these cars,
I'm gonna kill them.
96
00:05:39,617 --> 00:05:42,385
quit your whining, fellas.
I'm playing to win.
97
00:05:42,419 --> 00:05:44,370
you sure you got
the nerves, baby bro?
98
00:05:44,405 --> 00:05:46,239
vince:
oh, I'm quite sure, johnny.
99
00:05:46,257 --> 00:05:48,208
- oh, and by the way, turtle.
- yeah, vin?
100
00:05:48,242 --> 00:05:50,543
vince:
i'm dedicating
this victory to you, kid.
101
00:05:50,578 --> 00:05:52,545
- ( laughs )
- drama: never happen.
102
00:05:52,580 --> 00:05:54,614
yeah?
we'll see.
103
00:05:54,648 --> 00:05:57,450
( rock music playing )
104
00:06:25,813 --> 00:06:27,947

105
00:06:27,982 --> 00:06:29,949

107
00:06:32,319 --> 00:06:34,587
- ( laughing )

108
00:06:34,622 --> 00:06:37,357
unreal.
who would have thought
I just got my license?
109
00:06:37,391 --> 00:06:38,825
I think I need
a ferrari.
110
00:06:38,859 --> 00:06:40,260
in this economy?
111
00:06:40,294 --> 00:06:42,762
people will think
you're a real douchebag.
112
00:06:42,796 --> 00:06:44,430
whoa whoa whoa.
113
00:06:44,464 --> 00:06:46,499
forget what people think.
whoo!
114
00:06:48,002 --> 00:06:50,003
this thing is a beast.
115
00:06:50,037 --> 00:06:52,322
ahem.
116
00:06:52,356 --> 00:06:53,957

117
00:06:53,991 --> 00:06:55,458
happy birthday, turtle.
118
00:06:55,492 --> 00:06:59,012
- are you kidding?
- my gift's on the front seat.
119
00:06:59,046 --> 00:07:00,680
- Vin, I can't take this.
- yes, you can.
120
00:07:00,714 --> 00:07:03,616
- it's a $200,000 car.
- $240, actually.
121
00:07:03,651 --> 00:07:05,952
but I'm playing
enzo ferrari,
so I got 10% off.
122
00:07:05,986 --> 00:07:08,154
seriously, I don't
feel right about this.
123
00:07:08,188 --> 00:07:11,190
i didn't feel right about
the last car I gave you
getting repossessed.
124
00:07:11,225 --> 00:07:13,893
besides, I've had
a great year and you're
my good luck charm.
125
00:07:13,928 --> 00:07:15,495

126
00:07:16,997 --> 00:07:19,232

130
00:07:25,839 --> 00:07:27,506
but I'll call you as s.
131
00:07:27,524 --> 00:07:29,542
look, I'm nervous, e.
I don't like tests.
132
00:07:29,577 --> 00:07:31,427
me either, but I think
we're gonna be okay.
133
00:07:31,462 --> 00:07:33,696
look, would you call my mom
and tell her that?
134
00:07:33,731 --> 00:07:35,615
yeah, I will.
and I'll call you soon
as I hear something.
135
00:07:35,649 --> 00:07:37,967
- all right, man.

136
00:07:38,002 --> 00:07:40,403

137
00:07:40,437 --> 00:07:42,071
and you're a rock.
138
00:07:42,106 --> 00:07:43,940
i'm going to ari's
for the state of the union.
139
00:07:43,974 --> 00:07:45,491
i'll catch up
with you guys later.
140
00:07:45,526 --> 00:07:47,911
make sure it's strong.
I still got to pay
for this.
141
00:07:47,962 --> 00:07:50,630
I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
it's all paid for.
142
00:07:52,850 --> 00:07:55,051
- good afternoon,
Mr. Murphy.
- Mr. Murphy?
143
00:07:55,085 --> 00:07:57,170
Mr. Gold is ready
and awaiting your arrival.
144
00:07:57,204 --> 00:07:59,022
good, but what's
with the "mr. Murphy"?
145
00:07:59,056 --> 00:08:01,057
Mr. Gold has asked me
to be more formal
146
00:08:01,091 --> 00:08:03,476
when speaking with the clis
I consider friends.
147
00:08:03,510 --> 00:08:06,813
- well, I don't like it.
- oh, please tell him,
because I don't either.
148
00:08:06,847 --> 00:08:08,848
- but please
don't tell him I don't.
- I won't.
149
00:08:08,882 --> 00:08:10,984
would you like
a kiwi-strawberry
diet hansen's?
150
00:08:11,018 --> 00:08:12,652
uh, no thanks.
I'm fine.
151
00:08:12,686 --> 00:08:14,587
Mr. Gold,
Mr. Murphy is here.
152
00:08:14,622 --> 00:08:16,689
indeed he is.
153
00:08:16,724 --> 00:08:18,942
- why are you smiling?
- I'm not smiling. I was--
154
00:08:18,993 --> 00:08:20,643
- don't, this is an office.
- but--
155
00:08:20,678 --> 00:08:22,745
did you offer Mr. Murphy
his favorite beverage?
156
00:08:22,780 --> 00:08:24,280
yes.
he declined.
157
00:08:24,315 --> 00:08:27,650
lloyd has memorized all
my client's favorite drinks.
158
00:08:27,685 --> 00:08:29,402
oh.
( chuckles )
159
00:08:29,420 --> 00:08:31,721
- I said no smiling.
- yes, sir, Mr. Gold.
160
00:08:33,223 --> 00:08:35,308
- what are you
doing to the guy?
- I'm making him a man.
161
00:08:35,342 --> 00:08:38,127
- do you remember
when I made you one?
- yes, I do.
162
00:08:38,178 --> 00:08:40,596
- and did you thank me?
- no.
163
00:08:40,631 --> 00:08:43,099
- what's wrong?
- I'm a little stressed out.
164
00:08:43,133 --> 00:08:44,717
testing charlie's
pilot today, so...
165
00:08:44,751 --> 00:08:47,303
tv?
you're stressed out
over tv?
166
00:08:47,338 --> 00:08:48,738
you're in the feature
film business.
167
00:08:48,772 --> 00:08:51,007
and thanks to me you're
now conquering it.
168
00:08:51,041 --> 00:08:52,258
talk to me, ari.
what have we got?
169
00:08:52,276 --> 00:08:55,395
we got a $9 million
offer from paramount.
170
00:08:55,429 --> 00:08:57,680
we got a $10 million
offer from fox.
171
00:08:57,715 --> 00:09:00,400
and we got a $12 million
offer from universal.
172
00:09:00,434 --> 00:09:02,285
- I like it.
any of them good?
- they're all good.
173
00:09:02,319 --> 00:09:04,704
which one is the best?
we'll have to read to decide.
174
00:09:04,738 --> 00:09:06,990
well, you know
vince's new motto--
line 'em up.
175
00:09:07,024 --> 00:09:09,776
line 'em up we will.
see, this town isn't
so rough after all.
176
00:09:09,810 --> 00:09:12,378
- ( phone ringing )
- oh wow, this is the studio.
177
00:09:12,413 --> 00:09:14,697
- do you mind
if I take this here?
- what else do I have to do?
178
00:09:14,732 --> 00:09:16,666
- hey, amy.
- hey, eric.
179
00:09:16,717 --> 00:09:18,584
- how were the scores?
- well...
180
00:09:18,618 --> 00:09:21,154
the show tested 87%.
181
00:09:21,188 --> 00:09:23,789
- excellent or very good.
- 87? that's amazing, right?
182
00:09:23,807 --> 00:09:25,425
it is.
it's not all positive.
183
00:09:25,459 --> 00:09:28,428
- what do you mean?
- charlie didn't
score as well.
184
00:09:28,462 --> 00:09:31,464
- what did he score?
- 59.
185
00:09:31,482 --> 00:09:33,066
59? jesus, what does
that mean?
186
00:09:33,100 --> 00:09:34,917
it means we're gonna
replace him.
187
00:09:36,754 --> 00:09:38,905
what's this sudden
panic, turtle?
188
00:09:38,939 --> 00:09:41,190
- I don't want you
to Miss out on this.
- i don't either.
189
00:09:41,225 --> 00:09:44,643
every time I get in a cab
with some smelly guy wiping
snot on his sleeve
190
00:09:44,661 --> 00:09:47,697
I dream of a world
where this hot broad
picks me up in a limo.
191
00:09:47,748 --> 00:09:49,582
lim-hos is
a home run, turtle.
192
00:09:49,616 --> 00:09:52,201
but if you want
the money from me,
you're gonna have to wait.
193
00:09:52,252 --> 00:09:55,004
I can't wait anymore.
you got to understand,
I need a partner now.
194
00:09:55,039 --> 00:09:57,256
I understand.
just go ask vince.
195
00:09:57,291 --> 00:09:59,675
- he's given me enough.
- yeah, I hear ya.
196
00:09:59,710 --> 00:10:02,662
oh well.
sorry, brother.
197
00:10:02,696 --> 00:10:05,631
yeah, me too.
I'll talk to you
later, ronnie.
198
00:10:08,252 --> 00:10:11,637
- yo, turtle.
- yo, curtis.
what's up?
199
00:10:11,672 --> 00:10:15,191
what's up, man?
I see you out here
in your daddy's car.
200
00:10:16,393 --> 00:10:19,195
don't be somber.
at least you look good.
201
00:10:19,229 --> 00:10:21,047
( laughs )
202
00:10:25,652 --> 00:10:27,520
eric:
this is bullshit.
203
00:10:27,538 --> 00:10:29,855
first they bring in some hack
to rewrite his script,
204
00:10:29,873 --> 00:10:31,941
now they're gonna replace him
as an actor on his own show?
205
00:10:31,975 --> 00:10:34,527
- happens all the time.
- yeah, well, it's not right.
206
00:10:34,545 --> 00:10:36,546
the world is a cold
and heartless place.
207
00:10:36,580 --> 00:10:38,047
what am I supposed
to do, ari?
208
00:10:38,082 --> 00:10:40,249
e, it's real simple.
you stay on as producer
209
00:10:40,300 --> 00:10:42,885
or you walk out of pride.
either way charlie's going.
210
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,171
- this is unbelievable.
- take heart.
211
00:10:45,205 --> 00:10:47,824
you produce
100 episodes of even
mediocre television
212
00:10:47,858 --> 00:10:50,159
and you can send the kid
a gulfstream to cry on.
213
00:10:53,430 --> 00:10:56,516
¶ just like a new day... ¶
214
00:10:56,550 --> 00:10:58,951
- oh!
- what the fuck?
215
00:10:58,986 --> 00:11:00,853
i'm trying to snap you
out of your funk.
216
00:11:00,888 --> 00:11:03,489
- I'm not in a funk.
- you are a little off
though, turtle.
217
00:11:03,524 --> 00:11:05,024
it's birthday blues,
I guess.
218
00:11:05,058 --> 00:11:08,244
you got a hot car
and a hot girlfriend
coming over.
219
00:11:08,278 --> 00:11:10,296
what do you have
to be blue about?
220
00:11:10,330 --> 00:11:12,698
- it's my birthday, I can
be whatever color I want.
- ( phone rings )
221
00:11:12,733 --> 00:11:14,784
- yello?
- hey, vince.
222
00:11:14,835 --> 00:11:17,453
- yo, what's up, charlie?
- e's not there, is he?
223
00:11:17,488 --> 00:11:19,705
- no he's not.
everything okay?
- i don't know.
224
00:11:19,739 --> 00:11:22,108
I haven't
heard anything from him.
I think he's avoiding me.
225
00:11:22,142 --> 00:11:24,510
- I'm freaking out over here.
- he's not avoiding
you, charlie.
226
00:11:24,545 --> 00:11:26,145
- all right, then where is he?
- i don't know.
227
00:11:26,180 --> 00:11:28,314
but if I hear from him
i'll have him hit you back.
228
00:11:28,348 --> 00:11:30,550
- all right, man. thanks.
- cool. bye.
229
00:11:30,584 --> 00:11:33,419
- what's up?
- e's m.i.a.
230
00:11:33,437 --> 00:11:37,006
maybe he's just so small
that nobody can find him.
231
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,543
wow.
even when he's not here
to defend himself.
232
00:11:40,577 --> 00:11:42,612
I can't help it, bro.
I'm sorry.
233
00:11:42,646 --> 00:11:46,065
- ( car horn honks )
- that's probably jamie.
234
00:11:48,468 --> 00:11:50,937
oh-ho-ho!
235
00:11:50,971 --> 00:11:53,289
turtle:
oh, you've got
to be kidding me.
236
00:11:53,323 --> 00:11:56,092
- both: what?
- nothing. stay here.
237
00:11:58,779 --> 00:12:01,631
- happy birthday.
- what did you do?
238
00:12:01,665 --> 00:12:03,966
drama:
damn, turtle,
you're cleaning up.
239
00:12:04,001 --> 00:12:06,636
- you don't like it?
- ( laughing )
240
00:12:06,670 --> 00:12:08,971
what's so funny?
241
00:12:09,006 --> 00:12:11,807
- we should have coagulated.
- what do you mean?
242
00:12:11,842 --> 00:12:13,476
that's my gift.
243
00:12:15,128 --> 00:12:16,962
- oh no.
- yup.
244
00:12:16,980 --> 00:12:18,548
drama:
unbelievable.
245
00:12:18,582 --> 00:12:20,583
jamie:
well, you deserve
everything.
246
00:12:21,902 --> 00:12:23,603
why do you guys think
I'm such a loser?
247
00:12:23,637 --> 00:12:25,705
loser? what are you
talking about?
248
00:12:25,739 --> 00:12:27,273
I knew you
didn't have a car.
249
00:12:27,307 --> 00:12:29,125
- I can buy my own car.
- how?
250
00:12:32,779 --> 00:12:35,147
but I thought
you'd really like it.
251
00:12:35,165 --> 00:12:36,982
I do like it.
of course I like it.
252
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,151
then enjoy it.
253
00:12:39,169 --> 00:12:41,087
come on, you want
to take me for a spin?
254
00:12:41,121 --> 00:12:44,657
yeah.
there's something
I got to do real quick.
255
00:12:44,675 --> 00:12:46,509
can I drop you at home
and then see you at dinner?
256
00:12:46,543 --> 00:12:48,311
- yeah, sure.
- okay.
257
00:12:50,347 --> 00:12:52,748
enjoy your new car.
258
00:12:54,418 --> 00:12:57,136
yo, e, it's vince.
I haven't heard
from you all day
259
00:12:57,170 --> 00:12:59,388
and charlie called.
where you at? call me.
260
00:12:59,423 --> 00:13:01,007
no answer.
261
00:13:01,041 --> 00:13:03,809
( phone ringing )
262
00:13:03,844 --> 00:13:06,395
oh, jeez.
263
00:13:06,430 --> 00:13:08,848
( sighs )
264
00:13:08,882 --> 00:13:12,685
renoir, man.
today is your lucky day.
265
00:13:12,703 --> 00:13:14,787
i'm parting with one
of my favorite decks.
266
00:13:14,821 --> 00:13:18,024
- giving grassers
first shot at it.
- let me check it out.
267
00:13:18,058 --> 00:13:20,243
hello?
eric.
268
00:13:20,294 --> 00:13:22,295
you scared the shit
out of me.
269
00:13:22,329 --> 00:13:24,247
me too.
what are you
still doing here?
270
00:13:24,298 --> 00:13:27,633
oh, I'm sorry.
your bed was just so comfortable
I didn't want to leave.
271
00:13:27,668 --> 00:13:29,402
oh, it's 3:00.
272
00:13:29,436 --> 00:13:31,604
I didn't know you had
a check-out time.
273
00:13:31,638 --> 00:13:33,372
- no, I don't. I just--
- I can go.
274
00:13:33,407 --> 00:13:35,274
no, it's okay.
I'm just gonna watch
the pilot again.
275
00:13:35,309 --> 00:13:37,410
oh, did you get any word
on the screening?
276
00:13:37,444 --> 00:13:40,212
yeah, they hated him
just like you did.
277
00:13:40,247 --> 00:13:42,682
oh, god, I'm so sorry.
I feel bad.
278
00:13:42,716 --> 00:13:45,184
I shouldn't have put that
out there in the universe.
279
00:13:45,218 --> 00:13:48,087
well, I don't think
that's why they hated
him, but thanks.
280
00:13:48,121 --> 00:13:50,323
okay, well, why do you
think they hated him?
281
00:13:50,357 --> 00:13:52,575
I don't know.
that's what I'm gonna
try to figure out.
282
00:13:52,609 --> 00:13:55,027
- well, do you want
a second eye?
- sure.
283
00:14:03,670 --> 00:14:06,088
- ashley.
- hmm?
284
00:14:07,941 --> 00:14:10,259
( laughs )
I'm sorry.
285
00:14:10,294 --> 00:14:12,945
- I'll go put pants on.
- thank you.
286
00:14:16,316 --> 00:14:19,318
or we could watch
it upstairs.
287
00:14:19,353 --> 00:14:22,355
- I'll cover up.
- I can't focus.
288
00:14:22,389 --> 00:14:25,808
so just don't
let me distract you.
289
00:14:28,428 --> 00:14:30,896
we get that, all right?
give it to them.
290
00:14:30,930 --> 00:14:34,283
but at the same time,
we've got to give them--
291
00:14:34,318 --> 00:14:36,435
excuse me, everybody.
i'll be right back.
292
00:14:40,007 --> 00:14:42,491
turtle, what's up?
everything okay with vince?
293
00:14:42,542 --> 00:14:44,794
- oh yeah, vince is fine.
- oh, thank god.
294
00:14:44,828 --> 00:14:47,363
I thought you were
gonna tell me you ran
over him with the ferrari.
295
00:14:47,397 --> 00:14:49,332
- no.
- then what are you
doing here?
296
00:14:49,383 --> 00:14:51,617
I was wondering if I could
talk to you for a minute.
297
00:14:51,635 --> 00:14:54,286
- talk to me about what?
- career advice.
298
00:14:54,304 --> 00:14:55,971
- for who?
- for me.
299
00:14:56,006 --> 00:14:58,624
- but you don't have a career.
- five minutes.
300
00:14:58,642 --> 00:15:00,843
- I'm in a meeting.
- come on, ari.
301
00:15:00,894 --> 00:15:02,528
it's my birthday.
302
00:15:02,562 --> 00:15:04,963
five minutes.
303
00:15:04,981 --> 00:15:07,900
lloyd, tell them
i'll be right back.
304
00:15:07,934 --> 00:15:10,853
- what's up, lloyd?
- hello, mr.... Turtle.
305
00:15:10,904 --> 00:15:13,155
what's up?
306
00:15:13,190 --> 00:15:15,775
i'm looking for funding
for a business idea
that I have.
307
00:15:15,809 --> 00:15:17,443
- did you go to a bank?
- yeah.
308
00:15:17,477 --> 00:15:19,278
they laughed in my face
'cause I have no collateral.
309
00:15:19,312 --> 00:15:21,814
- did you tell them about
your hat collection?
- come on, ari.
310
00:15:21,832 --> 00:15:24,200
you live with a guy
who just gave you a quarter-
of-a-million-dollar car.
311
00:15:24,251 --> 00:15:26,819
- you need money, go to him.
- I'm trying to do this
on my own.
312
00:15:26,837 --> 00:15:29,555
coming here asking
me for money is not
doing it on your own.
313
00:15:29,589 --> 00:15:31,657
no no no, I'm not
asking you for money.
i'm asking you
314
00:15:31,675 --> 00:15:33,992
to put me in touch
with people who invest
in businesses
315
00:15:34,010 --> 00:15:35,845
and I know you know
those kinds of people.
316
00:15:35,879 --> 00:15:38,431
you've stuck with vince
through all the rough times.
317
00:15:38,465 --> 00:15:41,884
now he's on easy street
and you want to branch
out on your own?
318
00:15:41,935 --> 00:15:44,270
- you two have a fight?
- no.
319
00:15:44,304 --> 00:15:47,857
I just think it's time
for me to make something
of myself.
320
00:15:47,891 --> 00:15:50,142
turtle, do you know
what it takes
321
00:15:50,176 --> 00:15:51,811
to make something
of yourself?
322
00:15:51,845 --> 00:15:54,513
I mean, come on.
I worked a job
323
00:15:54,531 --> 00:15:57,366
through college
and grad school.
lloyd!
324
00:15:58,618 --> 00:16:00,152
- yes, Mr. Gold?
- hit the stack.
325
00:16:00,187 --> 00:16:02,288
in front of people?
I'm not performing.
326
00:16:02,322 --> 00:16:05,875
- "the kingdom of foibles."
- "the kingdom of foibles"

"a connecticut yankee
in king arthur's court"
meets "die hard."
328
00:16:08,829 --> 00:16:11,113
a man awakes
in the midst of--
329
00:16:11,148 --> 00:16:13,082
this man can quote
from the entire stack.
330
00:16:13,133 --> 00:16:15,968
that is what
he's willing to put in
for his own success.
331
00:16:16,002 --> 00:16:18,554
he's paying his dues.
when have you paid yours?
332
00:16:18,588 --> 00:16:21,173
i'm willing to pay them now.
and I have a great idea.
333
00:16:21,208 --> 00:16:24,226
so do all these idiots.
can you execute it?
334
00:16:24,261 --> 00:16:25,761
I think I can.
335
00:16:25,812 --> 00:16:29,265
in this life,
no one is going
to invest
336
00:16:29,316 --> 00:16:31,217
because you think
you can.
337
00:16:31,251 --> 00:16:32,902
do you have
a business plan?
338
00:16:32,936 --> 00:16:34,620
no. I mean,
I haven't sat down and put--
339
00:16:34,654 --> 00:16:38,240
what do you need?
office space, insurance?
how many employees?
340
00:16:38,275 --> 00:16:41,093
what do you project to earn?
what do you need to break even?
341
00:16:41,128 --> 00:16:43,579
at what point
can your investors
342
00:16:43,613 --> 00:16:45,981
- see some profit?
- I don't know!
343
00:16:47,284 --> 00:16:49,535
I don't know.
344
00:16:49,569 --> 00:16:52,087
look...
345
00:16:52,122 --> 00:16:54,423
when my son was born,
346
00:16:54,458 --> 00:16:57,242
my greatest fear was having
this conversation.
347
00:16:57,260 --> 00:17:00,713
I knew that I would give
him anything he wanted
348
00:17:00,747 --> 00:17:03,432
because he was my son
and I couldn't say no.
349
00:17:03,467 --> 00:17:05,468
which sucks, 'cause it
wouldn't help him
350
00:17:05,519 --> 00:17:08,253
and he'd just end up
on the street doing heroin
with the two coreys
351
00:17:08,271 --> 00:17:10,856
because I was too much
of a pussy to teach
him a lesson.
352
00:17:10,891 --> 00:17:13,909
I won't make that
mistake with you.
just say no.
353
00:17:15,195 --> 00:17:16,979
I can pull this off, ari.
354
00:17:17,030 --> 00:17:19,548
come back to me
when you can prove it.
355
00:17:22,235 --> 00:17:24,820
( bird squawking )
356
00:17:24,871 --> 00:17:27,556
um, no, ma'am.
I don't think that's
the case.
357
00:17:27,591 --> 00:17:29,575
why?
358
00:17:29,609 --> 00:17:33,278
well, because skateboards
don't get flat tires.
359
00:17:33,296 --> 00:17:34,613
( laughs )
360
00:17:34,631 --> 00:17:37,166
no, I'm not calling
your son a liar whatsoever.
361
00:17:37,217 --> 00:17:39,418
hold on.
can you quiet
that damn bird?
362
00:17:39,452 --> 00:17:40,886
what, you don't
like birds?
363
00:17:40,921 --> 00:17:43,172
no, I just don't like
anything that talks that much.
364
00:17:43,223 --> 00:17:44,957
( laughs )
365
00:17:44,975 --> 00:17:48,477
hello?
no, Mrs. Henderson,
i wasn't talking to you.
366
00:17:48,512 --> 00:17:50,546
what?
367
00:17:50,580 --> 00:17:52,965
why does he have to keep
yellinat the bird?
368
00:17:52,983 --> 00:17:54,967
because it's funny.
369
00:17:54,985 --> 00:17:57,736
- not to me it isn't.
- you think that's one
of the reasons
370
00:17:57,771 --> 00:18:00,305
people don't like him,
'cause he yelled
at the bird?
371
00:18:00,323 --> 00:18:02,274
it's one of the reasons
I don't like him.
372
00:18:02,308 --> 00:18:04,443
but I'm a big
animal lover, so...
373
00:18:04,477 --> 00:18:06,145
what are some of
the other reasons?
374
00:18:06,179 --> 00:18:08,030
I don't know.
375
00:18:08,081 --> 00:18:09,782
you don't know?
376
00:18:09,816 --> 00:18:11,617
I don't want to say it.
377
00:18:11,651 --> 00:18:14,253
you're gonna hold back now?
you already told me
you hate him.
378
00:18:14,287 --> 00:18:15,838
so what specifically
about him do you hate?
379
00:18:15,872 --> 00:18:18,674
- I think he sucks.
- you think he sucks?
380
00:18:18,708 --> 00:18:22,545
yes, and you have tohink
he sucks also, eric.
381
00:18:22,596 --> 00:18:25,214
because he
really does suck.
382
00:18:25,265 --> 00:18:27,766
I mean, he seems nervous
and uncomfortable.
383
00:18:27,801 --> 00:18:32,004
it makes me nervous
and uncomfortable
just to watch him.
384
00:18:32,022 --> 00:18:35,841
- are you mad?
- no. I'm not mad.
385
00:18:35,859 --> 00:18:40,178
I guess that's probably why
I didn't fight more when they
said they wanted to replace him.
386
00:18:40,196 --> 00:18:42,781
- so he sucks.
- yeah, okay, he sucks.
387
00:18:42,816 --> 00:18:46,318
- well, doesn't that
feel better?
- no.
388
00:18:46,352 --> 00:18:48,320
it doesn't.
I found him.
389
00:18:48,355 --> 00:18:50,355
I sold this show--
his show.
390
00:18:50,373 --> 00:18:53,325
he put a year of work
into it and I can't do
anything to help him.
391
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,245
but you can try.
you're very persuasive
when you want to be.
392
00:18:56,296 --> 00:19:00,149
- you think?
- I wanted to go home
with drama the night we met.
393
00:19:02,385 --> 00:19:06,005
what am I supposed to do?
tell him I think he's great?
394
00:19:06,039 --> 00:19:09,024
You're in sales--
that's what you do.
395
00:19:11,294 --> 00:19:13,812
wow, it's been
a whole 10 minutes
since I've been called
396
00:19:13,847 --> 00:19:15,814
by one of the jonas brothers.
what's up, e?
397
00:19:15,849 --> 00:19:17,483
when you told me to get
rid of charlie,
398
00:19:17,517 --> 00:19:20,085
was that your honest answer
or were you just looking out
for vince?
399
00:19:20,120 --> 00:19:22,438
vince is my client who is
producing the show with you.
400
00:19:22,489 --> 00:19:25,157
- so of course I'm
looking out for him.
- oh, come on, ari.
401
00:19:25,191 --> 00:19:28,661
vince doesn't care about
the show, you know that.
he's a producer in name only.
402
00:19:28,695 --> 00:19:30,829
but charlie is my client
who I do care about.
403
00:19:30,864 --> 00:19:33,866
so if you pretended to care
about him and you were me,
what would you do?
404
00:19:33,900 --> 00:19:36,602
- what's the difference?
- I'd like to try to
do something.
405
00:19:36,636 --> 00:19:39,705
what I'm capable of doing
and what you're capable of doing
406
00:19:39,739 --> 00:19:41,507
are two totally
different things.
407
00:19:41,541 --> 00:19:45,044
- what would you do?
- I would make a scene
of biblical proportions.
408
00:19:45,078 --> 00:19:48,681
I would lie, scream,
beg, borrow and steal.
409
00:19:48,715 --> 00:19:51,050
and if that somehow didn't
part amy miller's legs,
410
00:19:51,084 --> 00:19:54,887
then I would call racism.
and I would yell
for all to hear,
411
00:19:54,921 --> 00:19:59,257
"you're really gonna
fire my poor black client
off the show he created?!
412
00:19:59,275 --> 00:20:02,444
I'm calling naacp,
the reverend al sharpton
413
00:20:02,479 --> 00:20:04,763
and the ghost
of my man malcolm x."
414
00:20:04,798 --> 00:20:06,899
awesome.
415
00:20:06,933 --> 00:20:08,884
I guess
I'll try my own thing.
416
00:20:10,070 --> 00:20:11,954
good luck.
417
00:20:11,988 --> 00:20:14,306
( techno music playing )
418
00:20:24,351 --> 00:20:26,969
- is she in?
- yes, let me tell her
you're here.
419
00:20:27,003 --> 00:20:28,754
- I'll tell her.
- mr. Murphy--
420
00:20:28,788 --> 00:20:31,724
I just want you
to know that what you guys
are doing is disgusting.
421
00:20:31,758 --> 00:20:34,960
charlie busted his ass
for you and you guys are
gonna toss him because, what?
422
00:20:34,978 --> 00:20:37,846
40 idiots from modesto
who had nothing better
to do today
423
00:20:37,897 --> 00:20:40,298
than to watch a pilot
in order to get a free lunch
424
00:20:40,316 --> 00:20:42,801
claim they didn't like him?
I liked him!
425
00:20:42,819 --> 00:20:45,888
that's why I signed him.
and you liked him,
that's why you cast him.
426
00:20:45,922 --> 00:20:48,023
you were right.
don't doubt yourself now.
427
00:20:48,074 --> 00:20:51,410
charlie williams is this
network's next superstar.
428
00:20:51,444 --> 00:20:54,246
- do you really believe that?
- yeah.
429
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:55,647
I do.
430
00:20:55,665 --> 00:20:59,752
okay.
well, I'm sorry.
we don't.
431
00:20:59,786 --> 00:21:02,671
there is no way that
charlie williams is going
to be acting in this show.
432
00:21:02,706 --> 00:21:04,022
( sighs )
433
00:21:04,057 --> 00:21:06,058
well, then maybe
you're a racist.
434
00:21:10,263 --> 00:21:12,264
( laughs )
435
00:21:12,298 --> 00:21:15,384
I can't believe
you actually said that.
436
00:21:15,418 --> 00:21:18,704
yeah, me either.
you should have seen the look
on amy miller's face.
437
00:21:18,738 --> 00:21:21,557
( laughs )
I can only imagine.
438
00:21:21,608 --> 00:21:24,860
- now I've gotta
go see charlie's face.
- I had to fire my brother once.
439
00:21:24,894 --> 00:21:27,413
- really?
- from a paper route.
it was rough.
440
00:21:27,447 --> 00:21:30,849
- my parents wouldn't
talk to me for a week.
- that's a good story, ari.
441
00:21:30,867 --> 00:21:32,034
- e.
- yeah?
442
00:21:32,068 --> 00:21:34,570
- at least you went for it.
- so what?
443
00:21:34,621 --> 00:21:37,873
- where did it get me?
- some much needed
lying experience.
444
00:21:37,907 --> 00:21:42,661
- so?
- so next time you'll come up
with a better lie.
445
00:21:42,695 --> 00:21:44,463
you're the one
that told me to say that.
446
00:21:44,497 --> 00:21:47,049
yeah, but I can't believe
you actually did.
447
00:21:47,083 --> 00:21:49,334
- me either.
- listen, e,
448
00:21:49,369 --> 00:21:52,504
- I'm proud of you.
- thanks, ari.
449
00:21:52,538 --> 00:21:54,673
- later.
- later.
450
00:21:56,259 --> 00:21:58,844
are you trying to teach
someone how to lie?
451
00:21:58,878 --> 00:22:00,679
what?
no!
452
00:22:00,713 --> 00:22:03,348
and how could you fire
uncle howard?
453
00:22:04,818 --> 00:22:06,885
turtle:
you're really not going
to get me a gift?
454
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,906
no, I'm really not.
because grown men shouldn't buy
other grown men birthday gifts
455
00:22:10,940 --> 00:22:13,058
- unless they're fucking.
- ( laughter )
456
00:22:13,076 --> 00:22:15,227
- no offense, bro.
- no offense taken, johnny.
457
00:22:15,245 --> 00:22:17,246
but come on!
it's the kid's
30th birthday.
458
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,832
e got him something.
you gotta get him something.
459
00:22:19,866 --> 00:22:21,900
with the mood
he was in all day?
no way.
460
00:22:21,918 --> 00:22:23,902
- he's not in a mood anymore.
- huh-uh.
461
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,121
- why not? what happened?
- tell them.
462
00:22:26,172 --> 00:22:29,374
I was gonna wait
till we sat down,
until e comes.
463
00:22:29,409 --> 00:22:31,710
no one knows where e is.
come on, speak up.
464
00:22:33,263 --> 00:22:34,947
I'm going
back to school.
465
00:22:34,981 --> 00:22:36,131
( unison )
what?
466
00:22:36,182 --> 00:22:37,850
- yep.
- get out of here.
really?
467
00:22:37,884 --> 00:22:40,936
it was my idea--
so he can learn how
to really run a business.
468
00:22:40,970 --> 00:22:44,022
- wow, impressive!
- really impressive.
469
00:22:44,057 --> 00:22:46,558
- thanks.
- you know what? stevie?
470
00:22:46,592 --> 00:22:50,479
- get us the best bottle
of wine in the house.
- you got it, vince.
471
00:22:50,530 --> 00:22:53,765
- jamie: very nice.
- you know, I saw on cnn that
sending a child to school
472
00:22:53,783 --> 00:22:56,034
should run
around $200,000.
473
00:22:56,069 --> 00:22:58,153
this is a birthday gift
I'd be proud to give.
474
00:22:58,204 --> 00:23:01,456
- i got you covered.
- jesus, johnny!
475
00:23:01,491 --> 00:23:04,877
that' great, drama,
but this is ucla
extension--
476
00:23:04,911 --> 00:23:07,713
business management
courses-- $1292.
477
00:23:07,747 --> 00:23:10,615
- oh. it's the thought
that counts.
- yeah.
478
00:23:10,633 --> 00:23:13,752
johnny, did you
know that?
479
00:23:13,786 --> 00:23:16,221
- I did.
- oh my god.
480
00:23:16,256 --> 00:23:18,757
of course he did.
I should've let him
write the check.
481
00:23:18,791 --> 00:23:21,593
- seriously.
- vince, are you guys
ready to sit?
482
00:23:21,627 --> 00:23:22,961
yes, we are.
483
00:23:22,979 --> 00:23:25,931
- oh, look at here.
- vince: where the hell
have you been?
484
00:23:25,965 --> 00:23:28,050
they fired charlie
off the pilot today.
485
00:23:28,084 --> 00:23:30,102
- ow.
- oh man, that's awful.
486
00:23:30,136 --> 00:23:31,970
I had to tell him.
that was really awful.
487
00:23:31,988 --> 00:23:34,973
oh, that poor bastard.
I cried every time I got
fired from a pilot.
488
00:23:34,991 --> 00:23:38,327
and we're off
the show too, vince.
I can't do this without charlie.
489
00:23:38,361 --> 00:23:40,863
- no, of course not.
- you're not mad?
490
00:23:40,914 --> 00:23:43,315
mad?
no, I just feel
sorry for charlie.
491
00:23:43,333 --> 00:23:46,285
- I mean, you and me,
we're okay.
- yeah.
492
00:23:46,319 --> 00:23:48,754
- no?
- yeah.
493
00:23:48,788 --> 00:23:52,074
- yo, we'll meet you guys
over in a sec.
- yeah.
494
00:23:55,929 --> 00:23:58,130
- what up?
- I would have
liked this for me too.
495
00:23:58,164 --> 00:24:00,665
you know, prove I could pull
my own weight on this deal.
496
00:24:00,683 --> 00:24:03,385
you have
pulled your own weight.
that's why I am where I am.
497
00:24:03,436 --> 00:24:06,471
- the team is all good,
so what's really going on?
- what do you mean?
498
00:24:06,505 --> 00:24:08,307
- is it about sloan?
- what?
499
00:24:08,341 --> 00:24:11,476
want to prove
you can get out from under
the vincent chase shadow?
500
00:24:11,510 --> 00:24:13,478
hey, look,
I'll support you
all I can,
501
00:24:13,512 --> 00:24:16,031
but I can't help it
if the shadow just keeps
growing larger.
502
00:24:16,065 --> 00:24:19,067
it's actually
not about sloan.
I like ashley.
503
00:24:19,118 --> 00:24:22,454
- really?
you hated her this morning.
- yeah, well, things changed.
504
00:24:22,488 --> 00:24:25,857
everywhere it seems.
turtle's going to school.
505
00:24:25,875 --> 00:24:28,961
- really?
- everybody wants to be
their own man, I guess.
506
00:24:28,995 --> 00:24:31,546
but don't worry,
e, it's all good.
i'm gonna let you buy dinner.
507
00:24:31,581 --> 00:24:33,465
- oh, thanks.
- drama: hey, e!
508
00:24:33,499 --> 00:24:37,286
- this wine is insane.
- it should be. it is
not cheap.
509
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,304
- two more bottles, please.

510
00:24:39,339 --> 00:24:41,890

511
00:24:41,925 --> 00:24:43,809
happy birthday, turtle.

512
00:24:43,843 --> 00:24:46,178
thank you, guys,
thank you.
513
00:24:47,597 --> 00:24:50,198
¶ I've been thinking
for a while now ¶
514
00:24:50,233 --> 00:24:52,334
¶ how you had me still ¶
515
00:24:52,368 --> 00:24:55,270
¶ playing with my mind
now, darling ¶
516
00:24:55,305 --> 00:24:57,539
¶ hope you got your fill ¶
517
00:24:57,573 --> 00:24:59,541
¶ 'cause this train
is leaving ¶
518
00:24:59,575 --> 00:25:01,677
¶ it's rolling
down the track ¶
519
00:25:01,711 --> 00:25:06,782
¶ singing, "there ain't
no turning back" ¶
520
00:25:08,084 --> 00:25:10,152
¶ now I'm a simple man,
it's true ¶
521
00:25:10,186 --> 00:25:12,554
¶ but giving all I had
to you ¶
522
00:25:12,588 --> 00:25:15,023
¶ really don't leave
much for me ¶
523
00:25:15,058 --> 00:25:17,559
¶ sorry, woman,
i had to let you be ¶
524
00:25:17,593 --> 00:25:19,861
¶ 'cause this train
is leaving ¶
525
00:25:19,896 --> 00:25:21,663
¶ it's rolling
down the track ¶
526
00:25:21,698 --> 00:25:26,601
¶ singing, "there ain't
no turning back" ¶
527
00:25:28,237 --> 00:25:32,040
¶ this train is leaving,
it's rolling down the track ¶
528
00:25:32,075 --> 00:25:36,712
¶ singing, "there ain't
no turning back" ¶
529
00:25:36,746 --> 00:25:42,184
¶ singing, "there ain't
no turning back" ¶
530
00:25:42,218 --> 00:25:47,222
