Get Shorty (2017–…): Season 2, Episode 2 - Pest Control - full transcript

Miles holes up in editing with Rick and Louis while Yago pulls a risky job to raise cash for Amara; Louis has a crazy proposition for Gladys.

[Miles] Previously
on Get Shorty...

The fuck did you do?

[Rick] Nobody panic. This happens
all the time with director's cuts.

We recut the film.

You said there was something
you needed to talk about?

I'm pregnant.

It's yours.

I don't mean to be harsh,

but I really don't want
your Mormon opinion

on how to handle this.

[Clara] We just wanna make
sure that you're being looked after.



So, this button here

is a recording device.

Even if Amara's people
do a scan, they won't find it,

because there's no transmitter.

Wow.

[George] $2.6
million in product.

As of today, we have 30
days to pay our supplier.

I see why that's an issue.

I wish I could help.

[George] When can she
expect to recoup her investment?

[Louis] You need to take a
hard fucking look at yourself.

[Miles] Meaning what?

[Louis] You and Katie
are getting a divorce,

but you gotta face it,



instead of drinking
yourself blind.

You're trying to drive
yourself into the ground, buddy.

[groaning]

I'm not gonna let you do it.

[crow cawing]

[vehicle approaching]

Hey, George.

[George] Morning.

You on my flight?

No. I'm headed over for editing.

I'm gonna sit in
with Miles and Rick.

What time is your flight?

10:20.

You're gonna be early.

How I like it.

I heard it was cooler
now in Pahrump.

In August, it was hot, boy.

I'd get ice in a hand towel,

just sat on my head
while I watched TV.

[cell phone ringing]

Yeah, I don't miss that part.

This is George.

George, I'm very stressful now.

You know why.

[George] Okay.

LA don't give us product
till I pay for what we lost.

No product, then I don't
make money to buy product.

It's a problem.

I understand.

So tell me what to do.

It's your job, no?

We were counting on the
funds invested in the movie.

Movie's not good.

They work on it,
but we don't know.

In retrospect,

we should have had
more of a cushion.

Cushion?

Money set aside for emergencies.

Yes, you should.

My assumption was

the financial risk in this
case was acceptable...

George, can you fix this or not?

I, uh...

Well, you said they're
working on the movie.

If the cut improves and they
can sell it when it's released...

He don't work for me no more.

George, it's Ross.

She says you don't
work for her anymore.

All right, then.

Amara.

Mmm?

It's just as well I'm leaving.

All right if I smoke this?

Sure.

[dog barking]

God damn it.

George,

I feel shitty about this.

Spare me the heartfelt apology.

You can finish the smoke.

Nah.

If I'd known, I'd have
got the expensive ones.

[dog continues barking]

See how long you
last working for her.

[gunshot]

[dog continues barking]

Forgive me, my Lord,
Lady Margaret and I

have been acquainted
since our infancy.

I have long
considered her a friend.

Some say you consider
her more than that.

Still others hint at a
history of impropriety.

On your part and hers.

Okay, stop.

- This shot.
- [Rick] Totally on
the same page.

That's gotta be shorter.

- Longer.
- Longer?

Well, we agree it's not working.

How many frames you wanna add?

[Miles sighs]

- Frames?
- Frames.

Yeah, that's 1/24th of a second.

- Let's add three frames.
- Three?

You're not gonna
even see the difference.

All right, look. Let's
go on a coffee run.

Can we?

We're gonna pull
an all-nighter here.

I haven't done
that since college.

Hey, festival rep from Santa
Barbara said they really need the cut.

Are you muted?

I can mail 'em a copy.

Here's the problem.
If they get it,

they're gonna watch it.

- Stall for time?
- Yes.

[Gladys] Hi, Danielle.

See?

Better.

Right? That's what's so
amazing about this, uh, editing.

You make a tiny
change like that,

but on some level
you just feel it.

Sorry, I haven't actually
made the change yet.

- [door opens]
- [April] Hello.

Ooh! It smells like people.

How's it going?

Yeah, it's...

Yeah.

So, this is my last day.

I wanted to bring Reed Jennings.

He's taking over for me.

Three days till the Santa
Barbara Film Festival.

It's exciting.

[Rick] You're the new April?

[chuckles] Bet
that's disappointing.

[Miles] Not at all.

Could be an upgrade.

- [laughs]
- [Miles] Ah,
you brought muffins.

To compensate for abandoning us.

Well, that works for me.

Let me get one.

Uh, I'm on the lot today.

But in case I don't
see you guys...

Thanks, April.

- Okay.
- Good luck.

- Whoa.
- Yeah.

- Listen, you too.
- Thanks.

[Max] Lady Margaret
and I have been...

Miles, I'm leaving.

Yeah. Heard that.

Thanks for stopping by, Reed.

Of course.

[Max] Lady Margaret
and I have been...

[tape rewinding]

[door closes]

consider her more than that.

Tia, where are you going?

See my movie.

- Should I come?
- No.

But they're going.

Listen, Tia...

I know we're low
on cash right now,

so I've been
working on this job.

Gunner's brother-in-law
is a contractor,

and he has these
alarm codes, and they...

Don't tell me.

Okay. Yeah, right.

Just know that I'm
doing this for us.

I'm trying to bring in revenue.

So can I put Ed up on this? Some of
the other guys so that we can get this...

I don't care.

All right. Well, I'll
circle back on this.

[door closes]

[sighs]

You're in, Manuel.

In on what?

Yo, she has me
doing the whole house.

Can you help out?

[Nathan on video] I've taken
the measure of many ladies.

I just can't remember
what it looked like before.

Hey, hey, hey, everybody.

How's it going?

Fine.

- Yeah? I mean...
- Yeah.

Is it better?

We're working as
fast as we can, Lulu.

Okay.

'Cause Amara is not in a
good mood, and she's, uh,

coming over.

- Now?
- Here?

Ed and Gunner
are waiting outside.

I...

I don't have anything
to show her yet.

Really? You've had
a couple of days.

- Oh, for fuck's sake.
- Hey, two days

is nothing on a feature film.

Okay? I know we're
on a deadline, but...

Okay. I don't mean
to stress you out.

Well, you fucking are.

Let's see the first one.

George is gone.

- No!
- That's what I mean.

She's in a mood.

Oh, shit.

Watch this one. I
think... I don't know.

[groans]

I sent you a message.

Maybe you didn't get it.

I got all five.

I don't think I sent that many.

Hey, do you
remember what I said?

I need to figure
this out on my own.

- Can I just
talk to you outside?
- [cell phone rings]

Hey, it's Gladys.

Maybe later.

I think it's still dragging.

It's still dragging.

This yours?

Uh, I don't drink coffee.

Why's that?

Honestly, I take Adderall,

so I'm already pretty revved up.

You know, I'd just
be like... [buzzing]

Can I have one?

[stammers] Oh,
they're prescription.

I should hope so.

What is it that you do again?

I'm the assistant editor.

Ah!

Cheers.

[Rick] Let's just start from the
beginning again and see what happens.

Oh, hey!

Ah! There she is.

Good. You brought, uh...

A lot of people with you.

Hey. Hi.

Come on.

This is your chair.
Right here. Sit right here.

[Miles] Amara.

You fix my movie?

I mean, it's coming along.

Definite progress. Yeah.

Show me.

[Ray] Well, we're still
going through it right now.

Show me this part.

Oh. Yeah. Okay, Fran.

Just from the top of
this scene right here.

But you gotta remember
now, it's gonna look and sound

- much better once we do
the final mix...
- Much better. Yeah.

And the color timing.

Let me see.

[Max] Lady Margaret and I have
been acquainted since our infancy.

I have long considered her...

[cell phone ringing]

Go ahead.

Got a cockroach.

- Where?
- Office.

- Just one?
- So far.

[Max] Oh, I would
be forced to correct...

Stop it there. Thanks.

So, yeah.

It's, uh, not good.

Well, we're all in agreement
on that pretty much.

I think if we shorten
this scene like a lot...

It'll still be bad, Rick.

It'll just take less time.

You don't think there's some
dialogue that we could lift?

That's to take some words out.

Yes, you can do that. Yes?

Take them out.

Maybe not all the words.

'Cause if the characters
don't have any words,

I don't think people will know
what the fuck is going on.

We could just lift the scene.

[all arguing]

Can you stop fucking panicking?

We can fix this.

Look, no offense, but you've
never cut a movie before.

And you already tried
to fix it, and it's not good.

- Cut the scene.
- No!

No?

If we lift every scene
that needs work,

this film will have a
total of zero scenes.

I can make it better. I can.

Not just this bit,
the whole thing.

I just need a bit of time,

and maybe five less
cooks in the kitchen.

You want me to leave?

Okay. Hold on. It's not
like he can make it worse.

So, it's just that we're
gonna have some buyers

at the festival this weekend.

- Oh, cool, Ed's here.
- And we should
just let it...

[whispering]

You have one day.

Fix it.

Let's go, Ricky.

- Where the fuck are you going?
- I'll be right back.

Hey!

Hey.

I gotta get back to the office.

No, no. This isn't
about you being preg...

Pregnant. This...

You need space to
decide what's right for you.

I respect that.

Thank you.

This is an intense situation,

and, uh, we don't

know each other well,
but life is short, so...

I'm thinking, what if
we just ignore that issue

- and hang out?
- We can't date.

You're Mormon, so
no sex before marriage.

You think sex is part of dating?

Yeah. Having the option, yes.

Okay. So, my idea...
Just bear with me.

If we get married?

I know that sounds crazy, but

we get married,

and pretend it never happened.

You just put it
out of your mind.

Then we're just like two
people going on dates

with the option to have sex.

Except I'd be
pregnant and married.

No, but don't
think of it like that.

Just, you know,
give it two weeks.

- Two weeks!
- [car engine starts]

And if you're not feeling it,
then we'll just get divorced.

Just think it over. Just...

- [Latin music playing]
- [increases volume]

It was in my office?

So maybe there's more?

I checked the whole house.

We're out here to be safe,

just in case we
missed something.

So what are we doing about it?

We'll take a harder look inside.

Check cars.

Swap the burners and the
SIM cards on the smartphones.

Someone is always home.

How did the Feds
get into my office?

Think of everyone
who has access.

- There's us...
- Ross,

Gunner, Nick...

Benny.

So, one of us is
working with the Feds?

Just looking at possibilities.

There's Tammy.

Yeah.

What about Rick?

Rick don't go in there.

He has access.

You think Ricky do this?

No. But you can't...

So ask him.

[door closes]

Yo, this job you wanna pull,

we can't fuck with it.

Not with this going on.

We never talked about it inside.

- It's not a good time, bro.
- Shut up.

My Tia wants this to happen,

and she wants you to help.

Comprende?

We're gonna check it out.

I'll keep it close to my heart.

[ship horn blowing]

They've released the moorings.

That shot feels weird.

Now, I'm taking notes from you.

I'm sorry. I was
just trying to...

I like it.

You know, she turns
away, we see his expression.

- It's good, right?
- Yeah.

You know, we realize he's lying.

Thank you. Robert, come
and sit with me. [taps chair]

I was thinking,
when she turns away,

that's when we jump back.

You go a little wide.

Yes, the wide.

The wide. Fran, go
to the fucking wide.

Feel her loneliness...

Yes, good instincts, my man.

I'm just reacting
to your vision...

Give us another one
of those pills, please.

[actor] I'll keep it
close to my heart.

Play it again.

[cell phone beeping]

Can you put your
fucking phone away?

It's really distracting.

I'm texting Gladys an apology.

We went outside and talked,

and I really put
her on the spot.

Oh, man!

Okay. No. We'll talk about it
when you're finished working.

Yeah, that'd be
better, wouldn't it?

[actor] They've
released the moorings.

- She took it wrong.
- Unbelievable.

Like I was proposing.

Which I was.
But, I mean, that...

Proposing? Proposing what?

Marriage? You asked
her to fucking marry you?

She drove off, so
it's probably a no.

- [phone rings]
- You think?

- [Fran] Editing.
- I don't wanna distract you.

Yeah, it's a bit too
late for that, isn't it?

- It's Katie.
- On that phone.

- Katie.
- Your cell is off.

- Got this number
from Production.
- I'm in editing.

Can you fit five in your car?

The girls decided
to meet up here.

Did they?

Field hockey. You forget?

No. No, no.

Field hockey that I'm
taking the girls to. Yeah.

Um, I'm kind of
under the gun here.

Is there any way
that you could do it?

I'm scrubbing into
surgery in 30 minutes.

You said you could drive them.

Yes, I did. I did. I said that.

And I'll be right over.

Fuck. Fuck.

Fuck!

Fuck.

[Yago] So that's the
house I'm talking about.

Owner's not there.

And he's got a dozen
contractors doing the remodel.

They all have the alarms
codes, so he can't tell who did it.

Yeah, but you don't
know what's in there.

But they got something.

Room in the back has a
reinforced door. Industrial lock.

I'm thinking like jewelry.

It could be wine.

Wine?

[scoffs] Yeah, maybe.

Who do you know that's gonna
fence a bunch of expensive wine?

Maybe it's diamonds.

I mean, why the fuck
are we talking about wine?

Is this about Nevada?

Amara blaming you for the RV?

She doesn't blame me.

Why, what did she say?

You wanna make it up to her?

There's probably an easier way.

Man, we're fucking broke.

You culeros wanna
bring in revenue?

Or you got an angle
that you haven't told me?

Yeah, that's what I thought.

[music playing on radio]

[turns off engine]

[car door slams]

- [girls laughing]
- [girl 1] Oh, no!

[girl 2] Did this really happen?

Come on, shake a leg.
Everybody in the car.

Who's gonna help me
sing some Taylor Swift?

- Boo! Are you kidding me?
- You don't like Taylor Swift?

What's wrong with you
people? Come on, let's go.

Okay, I'll be DJ.

- Okay.
- Okay.

You're sweating.

Oh, fuck. Yeah.

Uh, I've been
rushing around all day.

I got a deadline on the movie.

Actually, come on, let's go.

- Let's go. Move along.
- Okay, okay, okay.

Miles?

Can I give these to you?

Sorry, there's no good time.

You don't have to read 'em now.

This is the divorce papers?

So we can avoid lawyers.

You know we both want that.

I've, um, filled everything out.

- Uh-huh.
- You can just look it over
when you have the time.

Fuck!

There's a part about
custody on page two.

[Miles] Huh.

We said we were sharing custody.

Well, you'll still see her
as often as you want.

I mean, maybe not
overnights right away.

Hey, but you will always be
an important part of her life.

It's just, you know, with
everything that's happened,

I thought this was the
safest arrangement.

I thought you would agree.

- Miles...
- Full custody?

You're gonna take
her away from me.

- No. No.
- Are you?

Miles, I would never do that.

Not ever.

- I promise.
- Yeah.

I'll... I'll get these
back to you.

Thank you.

All right, girls. Load 'em up.

What are we gonna listen
to? Justin Bieber, is it?

[girl] Oh, no!

[machine buzzing]

[machine whirring]

What's all this?

Pest control.

You know, mice, roaches.

Really? Huh.

I never saw anything.

All right.

Hope you're not
spraying that counter.

I'm gonna be eating food here.

[machine continues whirring]

[Nathan] You must agree
the view of my estate

is quite impressive.
Quite impressive.

Quite impressive.

Oh, 5:00.

Where did the fucking day go?

I think I got it.

- I play it from the top?
- Mmm-hmm.

These muffins are delicious.

Do you think maybe I
should send a box to Gladys,

with a note that says like,

"I'm sorry I put
you on the spot"?

Can you stop it there?

Am I going fucking banan...

Did I not just cut that line?

Which one?

The li...

The...

The line, which if
I'm not mistaken,

you came up with
when we were on set.

And apparently you snuck back
in when I was out taking a shit.

I like it.

- What's that now?
- The line.

It helps establish a certain...

Did anybody ask
you your opinion?

Did somebody say, "Oh,
you're the editor's assistant.

I wonder what your
take on this line is."

Did you hear anybody
saying that, Robert?

No.

[stammers] My
name's Roger, actually.

Will you please
excuse us, Roger?

Play it again.

Leave the line in.

This wasn't my intention!

This wasn't my intention!

[echoes] My intention!

[garbled dialogue]

Is it just me, or
is it not flowing?

- I'd better go.
- Go where?

Ed has me on a job.

He didn't give me any details.

He just said, "Be
there at 8:00."

Wait... You can't leave.

Honestly, man.
I'm not helping you.

I've never edited anything.

And neither have I, Lou.

Well, that's true.

What the hell's that
supposed to mean?

You don't like what I'm doing?

No, I like...

You said that you've
never tried, I said that's true.

And what did you mean by that?

You need to lay
off the pills, man.

- [phone ringing]
- You're getting paranoid.

[Fran] Editing?

[Louis] I gotta go.

Go, then.

Wes Krupke for you.

-Good luck, -The fuck is
that supposed to mean?

- Wes.
- [secretary] Hold for Wes.

[Wes] My brother.

- Your cell's off.
- Yeah, 'cause I turned it off. Run that again.

Hey, I just got off
the phone with CAA,

and Amy Adams is reading.

So I guess you straightened out
whatever's going on with her agent?

Yeah, it was just a bit
of a misunderstanding.

He's dropping the charges.

What do you mean charges?

That's good. I like that
when you put it there.

- [Wes] Hello.
- Huh? What?

[Miles] I like that...

Miles, look, I'll let you go, but
I'm gonna see you tomorrow, right?

I got a list of directors.
We're gonna go over it.

Yeah, yeah, fantastic.
See you then.

Yes, then we'll go to the
wide shot of the estate.

That's what I fucking thought.

You see, now it's got
that bit of shape to it.

You feel that? That's momentum.

- No! No!
- What? What?

The drive's crashed second time.

I gotta... I gotta reboot.

[stammers] What does that mean?

It means restarting everything.

Reloading, uh...

- It could take
about an hour...
- Oh, for...

[Miles] Oh!
[Fran] No! Mmm-mmm!

[Rick] Whoa! Hey! Hey!

Excuse me.

That's my stuff there.

There's no roaches in there.

- Can I come in?
- Is he with you?

He's almost done.

Can we talk?

What?

Here. Have a seat.

When was the last time
you were in Amara's office?

It's locked.

So you tried the door.

Did I? I don't
know. I don't know.

I'm here a lot
and I look around.

You been in the office?

Uh... No.

What if you found a key

and just looked around?

Key? I don't have a key.

I wasn't in the office.

What, somebody steal something?

Has anyone approached you?

Maybe they had questions.

Approached me?

What the...

All right, look.

Amara know about this?

You going through my
stuff like the Gestapo?

We just need to take care of...

[mutters] We're
done. We're done.

That's my underwear.

That's right. Yeah.
Having fun with that?

Okay.

Amara!

- Yes?
- I'm out of here.

I thought you work here
today. Why do you leave?

Well, I don't have to, but...

There's a guy going through
my underwear drawer right now.

Ed's in there. He's
giving me the third degree

- like I'm stealing silverware.
- [shushing]

Seriously? What? I
did something wrong?

I don't know.

Did you?

You know what? A relationship,
it's based on two-way trust.

It's like a canoe.

If a person gets out,

it flips.

Or it goes in a
circle or something.

I don't know.
What I'm saying is,

if you're not gonna trust me,

I don't know how
this is gonna work.

Ed, tell Tony to get
out of the bedroom.

These guys will be gone soon.

You can work upstairs.

Unless there's a reason
you don't want to stay.

[sighs heavily]

Sure.

Okay. I'll be upstairs.

[machine whirring]

Tammy said she let an electrician
in the office a couple of weeks ago.

She thought we called him.

[Ed] You think she's
working with the Feds?

We find out.

How's it going?

Mmm.

Turns out you can only watch
something three or four thousand times

before you lose all perspective.

I heard there was
a coffee incident.

Yeah. That was unfortunate.

The drives are running again.

I just watched the last scene.

It's good.

But?

You're focusing on
characters who are talking.

Isn't that how it works?

It's more interesting what
Fulton and Margaret can't say.

So focus on the
looks between them.

Do you want me to come?

It's your fucking note.

[machinery whirring]

You was driving
with a fucking cane?

Maybe you didn't hear, but

I sustained nerve damage

kinda getting shot.

It'd be nice if you
got an automatic.

- Well, let's go.
- I can't lift anything.

- Doctor's orders.
- No, no, no.

- Fuck that.
- No.

Driver just drives.

What the fuck?

This is from movies.

Whoever owns this house got a
lot of damn time on their hands.

But, I mean, it's
worth money, right?

Maybe if it's like
sports memorabilia.

I bet this shit's
worth something.

What are these movies?

"The Maltese Falcon.

Breakfast at Tiffany's"?

Has anyone heard of this shit?

It's old movies.

Maybe that's good.

I mean, it's like
antiques, right?

Just load the van.

[clicks tongue]

[Amara] Ricky!

What?

You sleep already?

Long day.

Just kind of took it out of me.

[cell phone ringing]

Yes?

[Ross] We've been
working on the housekeeper.

She's not with the Feds.

Just made a mistake.

Letting in the electrician?

Yeah.

You still want us
to... handle this?

What do you think?

Mmm.

- [toy gun whirs]
- [object shatters]

Shit!

What was that?

It was the Maltese Falcon.

From Star Wars?

No, that's the Millennium
Falcon, pendejo.

We can actually
get money for that.

Hey, grab what
you got and let's go.

Hey, are we done?

We would be, if
you did anything.

[cell phone ringing]

- Hey, there.
- Hey.

Sorry to call so late.

Is this an okay time?

Uh, I mean... Sure. Yeah.

Thanks for the muffins.

- You like them?
- They're yummy.

I was confused by the note,
which said they're from my mother.

Oh, that was to throw off Rick.

You know, if he knew they were
from me, he might get suspicious.

Just my mother
died when I was 15.

Shit!

It's weird to get
muffins from her.

- I'm sorry.
- It's okay.

There's stuff you don't know about
me. That's what we're dealing with.

You know, and some guys,
if they got a girl pregnant

after a night together,

they wouldn't be
so nice about it.

And you are, so thank you.

Thank you for thanking me.

- Night.
- Oh, yeah. Okay., yeah. Night.

Let's go.

Hey, what about this?

There's no room.

[actress on video] I'm yours.

And yours alone.

Forever.

You wait till you've got a foot out the
door, and then you give a good note.

- Ah!
- Just to irritate you.

You're not leaving.

Uh, yeah. We've
recut the entire film.

Yeah, maybe I'll make
changes to the changes.

No, we've gotta render edits,

and we've worked
20 hours straight.

All right, go on. Get
your beauty sleep.

Tell Robert that when it's done,

I want it to start
from the top again,

- so I can take notes.
- Yeah, I'll tell him.

You need some rest.

Yeah, I can't fucking sleep.

Look, from the bit I've seen,
you did great with this cut.

At least, given what
you had to work with.

You excited about the new gig?

Uh, nervous. [chuckles]

I've been working my
way up at Gravity for years.

This could be a mistake.

I've actually been
reading this book.

It's about getting lost
and finding your way out.

It's called Wylderness.

You should read it.

Are you saying I'm lost?

What? No.

I am.

I fucking am. I don't
know what I'm doing.

I don't know if the
movie makes any sense.

I don't know if it's any good.

And if it's shite, I don't
think I can handle it.

You know, when I first met you,

I assumed you were
just some Irish conman.

Turns out you're a producer.

An excellent one.

I'm sorry I'm leaving while you're
in post. It's really shitty timing.

No, it's how it worked out.

Right?

Um... Thanks,

you know, for everything.

Yeah, it was a
good collaboration.

You know, other than
when you blackmailed me.

[chuckles] I nearly
forgot about that.

- Take care.
- Yeah.

[sighs]

[grunts]

Hey.

You all right?

Hard to trust people
in my business.

If I do and I'm wrong,

that's it for me.

So I'm gonna ask you.

Can I trust you?

Yeah.

Yes.

You can trust me.

Okay.

[gunshot on video]

[music playing on video]

[horse neighing]

[actors speaking indistinctly]

What time is it?

Do you think this scene
could use different music?

Did you sleep?

- I'm gonna shut the door.
- Please do.

Clean shirt.

Amara is pulling up right now.

Yeah, so, you know, you
might wanna get dressed.

- [Miles] Get me the editor.
- Right.

[Miles grunts]

So how was it
seeing the cut again?

I didn't... Didn't
get through it.

It'd be good to
have your take on it.

Oh, um...

I can't stay for the screening.

Really?

Yeah, I'm sorry. It's my
first day at the new job.

But I'll check back in
later to see how it went.

Maybe tomorrow night
if I don't work too late?

Don't trouble yourself.

I'll see it as soon as I can.

Maybe later this week
we can grab a drink?

I'm sure you'll be busy

with your new gig.

Good luck with it, by
the way. Very exciting.

- [knock on door]
- Yeah.

[Roger] The big screening.

[door closes]

[Miles] Yes, it is.

[door closes]

Ah, there he is.

- Morning.
- You sleep much?

Not funny.

Ah!

How you feel about it?

You let me know what you think.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- After you.
- No, I'm not gonna
come in.

Let me know when it's all over.

Yo. You coming with me?

You can handle it.

Tia say anything?

About how good we did?

All that shit
bringing in revenue?

Yeah, of course, she didn't.

She did.

Yeah, right.

That's the address.

Take him all the
movie memorabilia.

Name is Moyseth.

He's with the LA.

With LA?

[speaking Spanish]

They're gonna deduct
it from what we owe.

No way!

Does my Tia know
about this shit?

It was her idea.

Man! Fuck LA, man!

If I was you, I would
go to the U-Haul,

get a dolly.

Those boxes are heavy.

[sighs heavily]

They're, uh...
They're at the end.

[actress] I'll never
leave. Not for anything.

I'm yours,

and yours alone.

Forever.

[Gladys] Get the lights.

Fucking hallelujah!

[Amara laughing]

Hey...

What you pulled off
right there, that's a...

- A Christmas miracle.
- Yeah?

[Rick] I never,
in a million years,

did I think you'd
get it to there.

Very impressive.

- You think it's good?
- I think it's fine.

- Fine?
- Yeah.

Come on. You took a one,
and you turned it into a solid five.

Out of fucking ten?

- We can sell it?
- Are you kidding?

I sell B movies.

This... This is a totally
adequate mid-budget drama.

If we do promotion,

there's no question it sells.

But it's not

good?

It... It's good.

It's got a lot of great scenes.

It's better than so
much of what's out there.

Is it gonna win an Oscar? No.

- But it's a totally
respectable...
- [groans]

[Rick] He's not getting
what I'm saying?

Buddy! Hey, you did it.

We're out of the woods.

Miles!

How'd you get all this?

Went in and took it.

Man! You got dresses and

little ray guns.

You some hard motherfuckers.

I'm fucking with you.

I know you real.

[Yago] Yeah, how's that?

Amara's nephew, right?

I saw you with some buddies
down at the Mai a while back.

Blazing Clipper?

Yeah, maybe you heard
what happened to them.

They were here slinging
in LA, and they got dropped.

By us?

If we'd done that, it's
to send a message.

Right? I would tell you.

Maybe.

I seem like I'm afraid of you?

So why would I lie?

Strawberry, watermelon.

Edibles.

Be careful though, man.
They strong, all right?

Oh, uh, easy with that.

How much do you
think this shit is worth?

Couple hundred Gs.

[scoffs] Yeah, right.

Seriously?

At least. Look.

This right here, look.

It's from Some Like It Hot.

Marilyn Monroe. Yeah, man.

This shit is worth bank.

You did good.

Hey.

Is Miles okay?

Uh, he didn't seem okay.

Yeah.

Um, so your...

So your suggestion.

Yeah?

Is that we get married,

so that the religious
restrictions are out of the way,

and then we get
to know each other?

Right.

I mean, it would
have to be a secret,

or else

everyone will treat us
like we're really married.

Oh, we don't tell anybody. No.

I read online that
Mormons can't get divorced.

You're not Mormon.

So you can divorce me.

There's nothing
I can do about it.

I also read about some ceremony

where they rub oil
all over your body.

That's in temple.

We can get married
at the courthouse.

No wedding dress.

Shit, you can wear those jeans.

- Let's do it.
- Yeah?

- Mmm-hmm.
- Great.

Okay.

Uh, we should work out
the details, because...

The sooner the better, right?

- Yeah, I'm open to...
- Tomorrow?

Tomorrow. Yeah. Great.

I'll call City Hall. Although I don't
think we need an appointment.

Great, great.

I should go. But I'll call
you later, and we'll just

- work out the details.
- Uh-huh. Yeah.

Okay.

Bye.

[chuckles]

[music playing on radio]

Here you are.

- Wesley.
- Hey, hey.

I heard you got the movie
into Santa Barbara. That's great.

Ah! You know what
I'm excited about?

Our film.

Yeah, yeah.

That's gonna be some
beautiful shit, man.

It is. Have a seat.

So you've got a
list of directors, is it?

You tell me who you
think would be a good fit.

Miles. Miles, do you
know Ellen Vernoff?

Ellen Vernoff?

Uh...

Oh! Did she do that
thing with Christian Bale...

No, she's not...
She's not a director.

She was on a date
with Amy Adam's agent

in that restaurant last week,

where you had the altercation.

We worked through all of that.

She is Bruce Vernoff's daughter.

Bruce Vernoff is my
boss' boss. Okay?

She told him all about it.

And she gave him your name.

Ah!

- So now you're caught
in the middle of it?
- Yeah.

Shit, I'm sorry.

- Well...
- That's...

You know what I'm gonna do?

Give me his number,

and I'll call him and
sort it out myself.

- What was his name? Bruce?
- No. I... I can't.

Okay. So, I'll...

I'll call the niece.
That's even better.

Actually more personal.

Bruce Vernoff phoned
me today from Paris.

I mean, he pulled me out of spin
class, I almost shit in my bike shorts.

What I'm saying
is, you can't fix this.

I can't even fix it.

So?

So you're off the movie.

No, I'm not.

I'm not off the fucking movie.

Look, I'm doing
the right thing here.

I called you and I wanted
to talk to you in person.

Did I not get the
script to Amy Adams?

- You did.
- Did I not do that?

You told me to be persuasive.

Yeah, like with your words.

Is that what you meant, Wes?

Are you frightened of me?

You fucking should be.

Jesus Christ!

Calling me brother and pal!

You gotta calm down.

You smug fucking company boy.

What are you telling her?

Did he tell you to call someone?

Put the phone down!

Put the fucking phone
down, or I swear to God I'll...

[door closes]

[indistinct conversation]

I'm gonna call all
the buyers I know

and make sure
they're at that festival.

We could get a
bidding war going.

That's when you make big money.

Ah! Ricky.

You did good.

Hmm.

Mmm. Let's celebrate.

- Champagne?
- Anything you like.

Tammy.

She don't work here no more.

Oh? Oh.

Oh, that's too bad.

She made great pancakes.

[Amara] Bring the
champagne to the bedroom.

Okay.
