Super Pumped (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - X to the X - full transcript

Previously on Super Pumped.

Show him that you're vulnerable

and need his money
and his protection.

- This could be the one, Bill.
- How do we know this Kalanick

guy is the chosen one?

Something is going
to pop in this space.

I think you're my new VC.

That's what I think too.

This can go so hard for you.

Buried in fines, lawsuits, jail.

It's the fucking drivers.



They're defecting.

Gurley. Go to him.

Ask him for another check

to ride us out
through this fight.

You're wondering whether
this is the moment

I shoot you or sell
your company for parts.

- You're gonna come in for more?
- Grow or die.

A full access card.

You come and go at
UberCab as you please.

I am legit super pumped
to be here tonight

and to be part of this company.

Are you sure that you're taking
care of you and not just him?

This is not our death warrant.

And it's a sign
that we are scaring



the taxi and livery industry

and the transportation agency

and the status quo shitless.

Let's fucking go!

Let us ride! Let us ride!

The city has been taken!

Portland, we have a problem.

Good driving.

Thank you.

But you know what, my friend?

Right now, you know
what you're doing?

You're living a
Judas Priest song.

You know Judas Priest?

Breaking the law
Breaking the law.

You know that song?

I'm driving under
the speed limit.

Nah, it's not about
the speed limit.

It's the driving part.

Uber is in violation...

Uber is in blatant violation of
the many several laws, rules,

regs regarding the
transportation of passengers

in the city of Portland.

That's right, Hasenpfeffer...

I'm with PBOT.

Don't turn to look at the badge,

'cause that's unsafe.

So pull over right over here.

I'm just trying
to feed my family.

Public safety.

Lack of proper insurance.

Failure to obtain
required permits.

And we're gonna
impound your car.

I can't pay these. I
don't have the money.

Well, that's a you problem.

You as in you.

And U as in Uber.

Take it up with them.

That was easy!

All inside It's so frustrating.

As I drift From town to town.

Feel as though Nobody cares.

If I live or die.

So I might as well Begin to put.

Some action in my life.

Erich England and
PBOT are throwing

everything they have at us.

We're getting rolled.

The drivers are panicking.

I mean, we're losing them.
We're losing Portland.

We need a plan. We
need a plan now, chief.

Pay the fines, all
right? No matter how big.

You make the drivers whole.

- You rally them.
- Yeah, I am,

- and they're not listening.
- You make them listen.

Without drivers, we
don't have a company.

Well, they don't give a
shit about the company.

They're losing their cars.
It's their whole world.

And there's nothing I can
tell them to undo that

or make 'em feel
better about it.

No, you are the exact
person who can, okay?

You're the most
convincing person I know.

Get 'em to hold the line,

while I make sure

this never happens again.

Go do it.

I'll do the same.

Let me go over there, Bill,

offer up some of that expertise

we're always talking
up to our founders.

No. You don't teach a kid
to sleep through the night

by running into his room every
time there's a thunderclap

to make him stop crying.

Well, the kid isn't sleeping on
a mattress made of your money.

You know, I tell folks, I
bring in my young partners

to keep me honest.

But I'll tell you
fellas, pick your spots.

At least go over yourself,
get a look at the guy,

see if you think that
he's in a balanced place.

Nobody who wills an
entire sector into being

is in a balanced place.

Ever.

That whole sector is
at risk right now,

and Kalanick could
well make it worse.

Bill, you believe
in this kid so much

you don't even want to check in?

"Believe" is an apt
choice of words.

You know, I used to, uh...

I used to split founders
into two groups.

Well, that's not strictly true.

First, when I was
younger than you,

I used to think they
were all Jesus Christ

because they...

Well, their followers
never questioned them.

They did actual,
provable miracles.

And then I began to see that
half of them were indeed

on the side of the angels, and

half of them were some
version of David Koresh.

Well, how do you
see the split now?

Oh, they're all Koresh.

The trick is to flee the cult
and get out of the compound

the second before they
burn it to the ground.

Those Portland fucks.
It's systemic extortion.

Yeah, they're attacking
our supply hours.

Using our own app against us.

So how about we use one
of ours against them?

- Greyball?
- Yes. Greyball.

Throw that shit at them like
fucking Kwai Chang Caine.

- What did legal say about it?
- Fines.

Jail time.

You know, it might
be a violation

of the Federal Computer
Fraud and Abuse Act,

which could, theoretically,
cause the government

to impose such strict oversight
that Uber collapses into itself

before we even go public.

Well, Jesus Christ,
they said all that?

Oh, and if Apple finds out,

Eddy Cue disappears us from
the App Store like Hoffa.

Concrete shoes, huh?

Hey, here's a thought:

Maybe whatever it
is, we don't do it.

Portland sounds
like a shit show.

- How did you hear...?
- We're on it.

Good, because tickets,
impounds, arrests,

those aren't necessarily
words that inspire confidence

in our investors.

- So how can I help?
- You know what, Bill?

You are being so helpful already
just by being on top of it

and showing up here,
and I am so grateful.

But you don't have
to worry about it.

Portland is gonna topple,

and then Seattle,
and then Chicago.

And then big finish in New York.

If this were the church of
Uber and that were a sermon,

you would be getting
hallelujahs and amens.

But I need a little bit more
detail on the plan, please.

Why? So you can sign off?

That is not how...

You know what, Bill?

How about we go
over all the details

over boat drinks when we're
kicking back at X to the X.

You're talking to a guy who
loves a cold Painkiller.

So why don't you tell me
more about this X to the X.

- Party.
- Well, let's not undersell

the guy that loves a
good cold Painkiller.

This is not just a party.
It's gonna be like the party

that Prince thought
he was having in 1999.

And we're throwing
it for our troops

when we hit 10 billion revenue.

Oh, X to the X. Ten
to the tenth power.

Like the last company
party you threw in Miami?

No. This is gonna be
totally different from that.

This one is gonna be in Vegas.

And much fucking bigger.

The bad press from Miami
is gonna seem adorable

compared to what'll
happen now if you do that.

It's one thing to
be the underdog,

but the favorite can't be
acting like a scrappy upstart.

You need to comport yourself
in a manner becoming now.

Like eminent founder-style.

There won't be any
more allowances

made by the press, fellas.

I know. I know, but look,
look, look, look, look.

Look at them.

Look at all of these
super soldiers.

When warriors complete
a big mission like this,

they need real R and R.

And we are gonna
give it to them.

We find a way to keep it quiet.

Yeah, we'll figure it out.

Of course, if we get
blown up in Portland,

and the next city
and then the next,

none of the rest happens.

So you might want
to focus on that.

And good luck.

Thanks, Bill.

Level with me, would you?

What's going on here?

We love you, Bill. We really do.

Good. You should.

I'm the one who put you in here.

I'm the one who can
take you out too.

No one's taking anyone out.

This isn't a fight.

This is love. Now
TK, he loves you too.

He says it all the time.

And if you want to be one of us,

you know, roll up your sleeves,
get elbow-deep in pig guts

and help us make the sausage

great.

But we all know your
value to this place

is not inside a
pig's intestines.

So let us do it.

And then

you just come back
for the barbecue.

He's right about the
level of risk here.

Yeah, it is risky.

It's sort of like Zuck hitting
send on FaceMash in 2003, right?

He asked for a
shit-ton of trouble.

Got a fuck-ton.

Do you think it was worth it?

Hey, we're launching Greyball.

Rock and roll.

All right. Jake is on the way.

You do not want to be
Greyballed, motherfucker.

And let me tell you why.

Because while you
think you can believe

what you're seeing
with your eyes,

these technological warlocks

are actually pulling a grey
shade over your eyeballs.

Thus: Greyball.

That's the geofence.

A digital perimeter.

Good.

Hendricks, can you
break down the targets?

We crunch everything.

Metadata, data-data, social,
real estate, credit cards.

Threat matrix built to
identify transpo hacks, police,

legislators and staffers,

all tagged with a line
of code in the app.

And the code's hidden, yes?

Only people with access are
inside this room, understood?

Yup. I understand.

Another one bites the dust Yeah.

There comes Jake.

- Nothing.
- Total mindfuck

served up special just for you.

Ghost cars available 24/7,

which means real cars: Never.

No.

I didn't cancel the ride.

What?

Uber must be down.

It will fuck you up.

It's like waiting for your man,

wherein your "man"
means your smack dealer,

and you are jonesing
like Lou Reed in '67.

Only the dealer's
already dead and buried

and all shot up with bullets.

He ain't never coming,

no matter how much you're
sweating and shaking.

Gonna get you too.

Another one bites the dust.

This guy is completely
clueless, isn't he?

If we've done it right.
And it ain't just him.

It's like a video game,
and we have the cheat code.

Nicely fucking done.

Fuck it. I'm going home.

Taxi!

Boom! You just got
Greyballed, motherfucker!

All right, I want
you guys to come up

with more shit like this.

Assume it's approved. We
have the technical advantage.

We're not gonna let any
limp-dick municipality

get in our way.

Get in the way of what?

Change. Freedom.

We are liberating people.

And making a mint doing it.

Is this... legal?

We got to toughen this kid up.

It's not really illegal
if the laws are bullshit

in the first place, right?

Like, Bill Gurley calls
it "regulatory capture."

But what he means is that
the taxi and limo commission,

they're in bed with
the taxi owners.

They're more incestuous than
the clans in Deliverance,

and twice as likely
to fuck you over too.

Great job, everybody.

All right, everybody!

Listen up!

You want to know what happened
when Armstrong planted his flag

on the moon?

He flew right back
down to Earth.

But not us. We
landed in Portland.

We are staying in Portland.

A couple more cities,

and then it's the Big Apple.

And once we break
through there...

I've always said it...

Once we take NYC,
no more stopping us.

That is the gateway to
the rest of the country

and rest of the fucking world!

And so

so

After New York, I'm
saying right now,

after New York, we are gonna
have the biggest blowout

the Valley has ever seen.

Come on.

I'm not a plausible
deniability kind of guy.

You know me, honey.

But that's what they offered me,
and in the moment, I took it.

It is not sitting right.

Honey, you can't
micromanage the operations

of every company you invest in.

And we talked about this before.

That's... that's the
road to Crazytown.

That's much the same
thing I said to my guys.

Hmm.

But this isn't micro.

This is not just some company.

This is the one that
changes the zip code.

The problem is...

It's not the relationship you
have with your founders, I know.

Phil Jackson and Tex, they
built a system around MJ and...

And they trusted he'd
function within that system.

As he became a superstar,

he needed Phil's voice less, but

it was always still there.

He's trying to grow up too fast,
before he knows the system.

You're not trying to ground him.
You're trying to help him fly.

Doesn't he see that?

I gotta make him see it.

Hey, Bill.

What'd you need?

Transparency.

I need to know what's
going on from here on out.

I can ride silent, but I
cannot be on the outside.

Okay, and why here?

We going somewhere?

Yeah.

Wherever the hell you want.

You see all these jets?

Most of them are owned by CEOs
and founders just like you.

That one, the Bombardier
Global Express,

it's owned by Rich Barton.

Guys like Rich, who
created Expedia, Zillow,

they call their own shots.

But they worked with their VCs,

because VCs have a purpose
other than just writing a check.

I have a purpose:
Advising, vision shaping.

I'm here to give you
wings, not clip 'em.

In exchange, I think I'm
owed the transparency.

Well, no, Bill,

you're not owed anything
except a return,

which I will give you.

People get that confused.

And yeah, you're right,

there are a lot of folks
throughout the Valley

who've done well taking
care of the people they owe.

And they have nice houses.
And, yeah, a plane.

But then there are the
people who told everyone else

to fuck off when the time came.

Now, you really
want to impress me?

Show me Larry Ellison's
plane. Or Zuck's.

Or Larry and Sergey's.

You can't. They have too many.

They have their whole
fucking hangars.

You think Bezos is thinking
about his VCs at 30,000 feet?

Or Elon? Elon has
fucking rockets.

Those are not people that
just killed it with kindness.

Those are kings.

Gods.

You told him about Greyball?

I told him in the
future I would tell all,

because I'm not a
hard-hearted man.

How'd he take it?

I don't think I give a shit,

but it seems like you do.

I saw that little chat you had
with him outside our office.

He put me in this job,
so I felt an allegiance.

Mm-hmm.

What about now?

I say we keep Bill
close. For now.

But you keep doing
what you're doing.

We're killing it.

The Google guys are
still close with Sequoia

and Kleiner Perkins
and their angels.

That's lovely for them.

It is.

I'm gonna go to
the ladies' room.

Who the hell is that?

I have no idea.

But I'm gonna find out.

Dude...

This is Travis Kalanick,
founder of Uber.

TK, this is...

- Gabi Holzwarth.
- Your music

just blew my mind.

Thank you.

Are you a fan of Manuel Ponce?

Guilty. Yeah. Huge fan.

I haven't broke out
his stuff in a while.

Been focusing on the
classics lately, but Ponce

yeah, really changed me.

It's a shame more people
don't know about him.

It's a tragedy.

Your secret's safe with me.

So where can I see
you play again?

The San Francisco Symphony?

Soon. Right now, I play
first chair every Saturday

at the Palo Alto
farmers' market.

In the parking lot.

I see.

It's a bit different than this,

but there is something spiritual

about playing for people
that didn't pay for tickets.

Right, because you're
just playing for yourself.

- Exactly.
- Yeah.

There's no expectation.
No judgment.

No pressure to be perfect.

It's just about connecting.

Mm-hmm.

They're just going
about their day,

and you get a chance to
change them, you know?

Yeah, well, I am all about
changing people's lives.

Angie? Hey.

May I introduce you to Gabi?

Nice to meet you.
You're very talented.

Your version of
"Estrellita" was gorgeous.

Thank you. Well, I'd
better get back to it.

It was so nice meeting you.

And you.

What'd you say to her?

I told her she needed to
meet the next Jeff Bezos.

Hey.

You coming to bed?

I actually... I have to
review some more of this data.

I'll be in in a minute.

I close my eyes.

Only for a moment.

And the moment's gone.

All my dreams.

Pass before my eyes.

A curios...

You are going to
be misunderstood.

And that's okay.

People not comprehending
your vision

is a sign that nobody has
gone where you're going.

It's also a sign
of insanity, but...

Good leaders are right a lot.

These 14 principles of Amazon

are a crucial part
of my success.

These core values are
the most important thing

I came up with for the company.

Customer obsession, ownership,
invent and simplify,

leaders are right, a lot.

Learn and be curious,
hire and develop the best,

insist on the highest standards,

think big,

bias for action, frugality,

earn trust, dive
deep, have a backbone.

Oh, and last one,
the hardest one.

Success and scale bring
broad responsibility.

Hey.

Thoughts?

It's a look.

And that would be the boys.

Okay, we've got bigge
issues than Travis' hair.

We knew we'd get through

and have to go after
the actual giant.

I don't see a way forward
without taking New York,

and I know you don't either, TK.

- It's time.
- No. Definitely not.

It's New York fucking City,

and the Taxi and Limo
Commission is as wired there

as Sinatra was in the '50s.

They roll heavy there.

The mayor loves their votes,

- loves their money.
- It's not San Francisco.

Bunch of water bottles
isn't going to work there.

Can Austin handle it?

I mean, maybe we need
to send in some pro

who can bushwhack the red tape.

Don't serve. No! We have
plenty of people in that town,

and she can lead them.

Every time we drop Austin
into a city, she delivers.

She's cracking fucking skulls.
It's frontier entrepreneurship.

She wrote the playbook.
Bill, what do you think?

Myself, I'd load
up on personnel.

But if you have this
much faith in her...

I do. We wouldn't be winning
this war without her.

Well, then she's our
boots on the ground.

Good. Moving on.

How are we going to
compete with the subway,

buses and yellow cab?

Well

let's start with why.

Assuming we can poach
the whole cab industry,

that's 700,000 trips a
day, average $20 a ride,

that's $14 million daily.

But that is not the
main reason why.

The New York City taxicab
driver is an indentured servant.

He's forced to work
his whole shift

for the benefit of some
guy who owns his car,

or he has to mortgage
his entire future

to buy some medallion from
a loan shark taxi bank

that's worse than
a payday lender.

We just have to wake them
up to the facts, all right?

If we can message this
right, the drivers...

And, by the way,
the passengers...

All of New York City is gonna be
shouting "Viva la revolution!"

Come on, okay,
Well, first of all,

De Blasio is gonna
come after us.

We're outmanned and overmatched.

Do we need to play some fucking
Enya music for you here?

You need to, like, sail away?

Come on.

- Oh, fuck off.
- Got to watch.

- You know, it's a valid point.
- People are gonna be with us.

Ask any hard-core
New Yorker about it,

they'll tell you taxis suck.

They smell. A lot of
drivers hide their identity,

pretend their credit
card machines don't work,

and they have no respect
for the customer,

especially non-white ones who
can't even get a damn cab.

It's happened to me.

We are the answer to all this.

We're on the right side
of history with this.

If we just show them
the way, they'll see it.

Travis is right.

You're right.

Still, New York's fucking hard.

It's Cosa Nostra.

So we just have to fight with
that same Mafia mentality.

The Mafia started in Italy

because it stepped in where
the state was failing.

We will flood the
streets of New York,

send Ubers where taxis won't go.

We raise prices at peak
hours when demand is surging

to encourage more drivers
to take to the streets.

I make the drivers understand

that it's about
supply and demand.

Dynamic pricing is the
biggest value proposition

in modern American business.

You know you're on your way up

when they slap a
target on your back.

This is my city.

Play by my rules,
or I'll bury you.

I will cap the number of
Uber drivers on the road

and force you into submission.

You got to get their respect.
Never back down from a fight.

And sometimes you
gotta play dirty.

Show everyone the
long wait times

if De Blasio's cap
goes into effect.

And then we weaponize
every rider's hand.

Yes, we ask... no, we offer...

Our riders the chance to raise
their voices with us, for us.

And they will,

because they need
what we are selling.

And once they unite behind us

we'll take the city.

You're so warm.

Oh, the ritual.

When I lay down...

Here's to Uber being
officially in New York City!

Long may we rule!

Hey, thanks for tonight.

Oh, yeah. Any time.

Yeah, next time you're
drinking with us.

Not on a school night.

Uh, hey, um, I wanted
to say thank you.

Since I started
driving for Uber,

I finally, like,
squirreled away some money

in my kid's college fund.

Aw. Man, you're welcome.

You have a good night.

Get the fuck out of my city!

Hey, what the...?

Fucking Jesus! Fuck you!

God!

- Hi.
- Hey, you did it!

We did.

- How rough?
- Oh, um...

- You know.
- Yeah.

Well, remember, you're nobody
if you don't make any enemies.

Thank you.

It's nothing.

No, uh

thank you.

The minibar, I...

I know what you did,

and that you were
thinking about me.

I just didn't know if
you'd have time to make it

to any meetings and, yeah,

I need my lieutenant
in tip-top form.

No, I'm good.

And, you know, it
wasn't just me.

The whole team
was... they were...

It wasn't the team.

It was you.

Hey, Travis.

- Travis, what's up?
- Hey, TK, lookin' forward to the big surprise.

TK?

Hey, Travis?

Glad we're under the radar.

Yeah, there's no branding.

No company logos.

I see that.

Where's, uh, Angie?

She's sitting this one out.

Fucking New York.

Ten billion.

Let's go grab that
drink. You've earned it.

Excuse me.

Well, look who's here.

Kind of like finding a
rattlesnake in your boot.

Just don't make
any sudden moves.

I'm sure we'll be fine.

Look at them.

You have an angle?

So far, I can't
get anyone to talk,

but I'll keep at it.

There's dirt out there,
and I've brought a shovel.

- I don't even have to...
- No, no, you don't.

It's all on lock. Security
measures are in place.

A strict code of conduct
for Uber employees.

Complete social media blackout,
wristbands to access events.

Even if they think
we're partying,

there'll be no proof,
there's no trace.

Bartender.

Yes sir?

Set us up with a Don Julio 70

and, uh, those folks
down at the end,

give them a round on me, please.

Classic.

It might buy us some
goodwill, but not silence.

I'm telling you, you
don't have to worry, man.

We told everyone
exactly what to do.

And what not to.

Because you are family
and we love you,

we have come up with a set of
rules to limit any career...

Limiting...

Limiting...
Career-limiting moves.

No CLMs, got it.

Drugs.

Just pot and E?

No drugs.

- In public.
- That's for sure.

- Okay. Yeah. Okay.
- No sex with other employees.

- Unless two people...
- Or more...

Yeah, okay. Agree to it.

Use protection.

No lives should begin
or end at X to the X.

We're gonna send
this out by email?

Yeah, we'd better, so it lands.

But you make a good point.

Keep confidential
things confidential.

- Like this email.
- Yeah, yeah, like, uh

no rev stats, internal figures.

Yeah, no, nothing with
the company name or logo.

No shop talk. And
whatever you do,

do not talk to the
fucking press, okay?

That's it. Done. Nailed.
Send it company-wide.

Company-wide?

No, TK, this will leak.

If I put my faith in anything,
it's got to be in my guys.

All right? Just like they
put their faith in me.

Now, if I want them to
stay quiet about something,

they're going to make Silent
Bob look chatty as Tracy Flick.

Send it. Let's go
pack for Vegas.

Yeah, I don't think I'll
be making this trip.

By email?

You don't...

You know what?

Here's to you taking measures,

whether they fall short or not.

And to our fail safe.

Fuck it, I'm not gonna let a
free gin and tonic stop me.

I'm going in.

Hey, Travis?

Care to comment on what
this event is all about?

Oh, fuck. It's Whetbaker.

Goddamn. Rachel, Jill...

Why do you have such a
hard-on for my client?

This is an internal
company event.

Do they show up and bother you

about your reporting
at your paper's

Friday all-you-can-eat
wings night at Chili's?

Whetstone and Hazelbaker.

You hired a comms team.

We did.

All questions go
through me or Whetstone.

You got nannies
for your Uberettos.

That's a goddamn
grown-up move, Travis.

Nothing that happens here is
gonna get back to the press.

Unless we want it to.

Tonight, Travis isn't speaking.

Instead it's time for a
lesson from Prof. Kalanick.

Now, there are fuckers out there
that are gonna say we got lucky.

Is that what you think?

No!

All right, because you
work your asses off, right?

Yes!

But also check this. You
did get lucky. We all did.

Because we found each other.

And we get to work at the
greatest company on earth.

Yes!

A world-changer. A world-mover.

A company that believes

in these core values.

Pretty good, right?

Check these out.

Number one: Always be hustling.

Always be hustling.

At Uber, we put in the
blood and the sweat

required to get the
job done at all times.

We work harder, we work
longer, and we work smarter.

Not just two out of the three.
We never stop hustling, right?

Number two:

Revolutions are won
by true believers.

So be an owner, not a renter.

The fully committed,
zealous Uberetto

owns the work that they
do each and every day.

Austin.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Austin Geidt.

Now, she...

She is the walking embodiment
of this core value.

Austin paves a path to
victory in every city.

Let her hear you!

Now, all these
values are important.

But for me, there's one that
rides high above the rest.

Number 12:

Being super pumped.

Being super pumped
gives us superpowers.

Taking the biggest problems,

turning them into
amazing opportunities

to do great things.

So are we lucky?

Fuck yes, we are!

Because we get to be
super pumped 24/7,

three-sixty-motherfucking-five!

Yes!

You know, one day...

One day, we're not just
gonna be transporting

customers in cars.

We're gonna exist in a place

where bits and
atoms come together.

I am Uber.

You are Uber.

But we're not just a technology.

We're a technology
that moves cities

and their citizens.

So I want you to take
these core values,

but don't just
take 'em to heart.

I want you to
fucking inhale them

so they become your oxygen

as we continue to conquer

not just transportation,

but the world!

Whoo!

Yeah!

All right, now, I
want to introduce you

to our newest investors
and shareholders.

Ladies and gentlemen...

Jay-Z and Beyoncé!

- Hey.
- Hey.

I've been thinking about you.

- Yeah, me too.
- I can hardly hear you.

Is that Beyoncé?

Yes, it is.

Oh, my... okay, um, call
me when you're back.

All right.

- I'd say that went well.
- From the feedback I've gotten,

everybody seemed to
have had a good time.

Okay, let's do it.

Line item: Cleaning fee.

Line item: Fine for
public drinking.

Tech bros gone wild.

Don't knock it. It's
gonna buy you a house.

Don't stop Thinking
about tomorrow.

Gentlemen, just some harmless
fun we'll get rid of right away.

It'll be better than before.

Line item: Elevator
cleaning and repair.

How's your night going?

Line item: Fine
for public nudity.

Guys! Come on! Whoo!

And the medical expenses?

If your life was bad to you.

Just think what
tomorrow Will do.

Line item: Open bar.
Line item: Room damage.

Line item: Payoff.

It'll be better than before.

Yesterday's gone
Yesterday's gone.

Line item: Private detective.

Line item...

"Grand theft auto and
vehicular damage"?

- Whoo!
- Yeah!

Slow it down!

Sign the NDA. Just
sign right there.

Alright, thank you sir.

Twenty-five goddamn...

That is a comma and a
lot of fucking zeroes.

Yeah, yeah, man, the
total is $25 million,

but that does include
all room charges,

and the, uh,
continental breakfast.

Oh, well, those were really
good blueberry muffins, so...

Hey, Bill.

Get some sleep?

Travis, you know I
didn't. Not a wink.

And it wasn't
because of the music.

- It was all the goddamned music.
- Yeah.

Well, they're an
exuberant bunch.

Yeah.

Got to let them off
the leash sometimes.

You'll be amazed at
the productivity we see

when we they get back to work.

Did they...

From up there?

I didn't think
that was possible.

Yeah, but... yeah, yeah.

The launch angle
times the velocity...

They're engineers.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey.

Hey.

I brought you a clean shirt.

I've got to get back and
get the kids to school.

- Mm.
- Thank you.

- Would you?
- Yeah. Move.

How was it?

Oh, uh

kind of like Waco.

Thing is, he pulled it off.

But it was a

you know, more like
a streak shooter

when he nails a 40-footer
to win the game.

You're happy for the
W but, you know...

You might be in
for a long season.

Might could be that Waco
turns into Jonestown, yes.

How are you gonna stop that?

Figure out a way to make sure

that the Flavor Aid
and water never meet.

You changed your hair.

I like it. Yeah.

It's, um... it's more hip.

Thanks.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Yeah?

I got a call from Angie.

Why didn't you tell me? I mean

what happened?

It just ran its course.

I met somebody new.

I think you'd really
like her, actually.

Well...

What?

Travis, you can't
just dispose of people

in your life like that,

especially somebody
who stood by you.

Mom, it wasn't like that, okay?

I took care of her.

We're still gonna be
in each other's lives.

We're still gonna
talk every day.

I did it right.

We were crying in
each other's arms.

We just both knew
that it was time to

set out on our own
separate journeys.

I just can't fucking do
it anymore, all right?

I want... different.

Different level of commitment?

Different dynamics?
Different bodies?

Yeah. All of that. Different.

Just... you know, I
wish I didn't, but...

Look, I'm sorry.

Like I said, I wish it didn't.

You can take your
time moving out.

I'll stay with Crystal
for a few days.

Oh, I'm moving out?

- Well, yeah. It's my...
- No, no, no.

I can't lose the Jam Pad.

It's for work.

It really means
that much to you?

Yes. It's where I do
all my best thinking.

Okay, look, how about this?

I'm gonna set you up in
a new apartment, right?

Anywhere you like. You pick.

And I'll buy you
out of this place.

Okay.

I guess I was just
your seed round.

All right. Get home safe.

I will.

You be good.

Of course.

Don't sweet-talk your
mother and say "Of course."

You do it.

All right.

Love you.

Excuse me. Hi.

Could you just tell me,

what made you choose
Lyft instead of Uber?

Uh, well, it's so much cheaper,

and the drivers
are super-friendly.

All right. Got it. Buddy, I was
thinking of becoming a driver.

What do I need to know?

Here, man. We make more money.

And we get tips.

That's something I never
got driving for Uber.

Yeah, I'm looking
at rider bonuses,

driver appreciation parties.

I mean, these motherfuckers,
they're stealing all my shit.

Oh, we are going to fucking war.

So much for The golden future.

I can't even start

I've had every Promise broken
