after years, and...
No, wait, Matt.

(Uplifting music)
(Laughing)
Matt!
Matt, wake up!
\hWake up!
(Clapping)
\h\h\h\h\h\hMatt, Matt, Matt,
you’re gonna wanna hear this!
Huh? Whoa!
(Laughing)
Hi, Bird, man.
What, are you out of breath?
What are you out of breath for?
\h\h\hYou know, I was having a
nightmare where I was running
\h\hafter a big piece of
cheese, finally got it.
Uh, what’s up?
How you doing?
I have a plan to get a show!
\hWhat a wake up!
Is this a dream?!
Here, alright, so...
This plan...
Uh, first...
\h\hYou know what, I’m just
gonna start writing it down.
Yeah, exactly.
And that’ll help me
\hremember the plan.
Remember the plan?
\h\h\hYou’re saying you
don’t remember the plan
that you just came up with?
- Believe me, it’s my plan.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h- Uh-huh.
- It came from my mind.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h- I know.
\h\hI think I’ll have no
problem remembering it.
\h\h\hSo tell me the plan,
and then we can maybe even
go do the plan today.
Start with step one.
Uh, you...
Uh, okay, so you...
The Rivoli probably?
Yeah, go to the Rivoli.
\h\hRemember, the Rivoli has a
restaurant in the front of it.
Maybe...
\h\h\h\h\h\hWe sit at the
restaurant to have a meal.
Wow! Oh my god, that’s genius!We’ve never done that!
Did you know that there was
a restaurant at the Rivoli?
At the front. Very popular.
- Step three.
- Step three?
What was step two?
We’re at the restaurant.
\hStep one was go
to the restaurant!
That’s right.
Well, these can be
\hinterchangeable.
\h\h\h\h\h\hYou know what,
that’s sort of redundant.
I-- I gotta stop this.
\hYou’re making a
fool of yourself.
The...
\h\h\h(Sighing)
Okay, look, I...
Matt, stop.
I’m about to admit something.
Oh, not bigger than this.I mean, who knows?
\h\hMaybe you’re saying yeah,
like vagina instead of a penis,
something massive, but...
This plan?
It’s not mine.
It’s Tony’s.
Ah...
Oh. Oh! Jay!
\hWell, why did you try
to take c-credit for it?
I guess you’re wondering
\h\h\hwho Tony is, huh?
Maybe I can help you
\hfill in the gaps--
And I think I know who can
\hhelp us figure this out.
- Me, I will--
\h\h\h- Tony.
Well, how are you gonna get Tony
to help you figure this out?
I’m gonna call him.
But what do you mean call Tony?
He doesn’t have a...
(Slowed) So just give
me your phone number.
Oh, you want a phone number?
\hYeah, I’m gonna put it
down in my contact list.
Oh, you’re wondering
if I’ve got a phone.
You mean one of these?
(Laughing)
So now I’m just gonna click
on his name and call mobile.
Argh!
Oh, gotta go to the
\hbathroom outside!
Calling mobile.
(Phone ringing)
’Ello, Tony here!
Tony! It’s Jay!
Ah man, what a wild night!
We had-- Let me guess, you
\hforgot the plan already?
\h\hYeah, I do need
help with the plan!
\h\hI’m gonna imagine
that you’re at a board
just writing this down, alright?
\hYeah, I’m right at
the board right now.
You order mild pad
thai, extra mild.
Anything hotter than
pepper will kill ya!
\h\h\h\hThen you have Matt

\h\hpad thai, and...
\hOh yeah, and if you can make
that mild, that would be great.
