The L.A. Complex (2012): Season 2, Episode 9 - Help Wanted - full transcript

Connor faces an astonishing blast from the past. Raquel runs into serious financial problems.

Previously on
The L.A. Complex...

I'm Gray.

Seriously, who are you?

I'm in the air force.

When I get back,
I'm coming for you, Vargas.

You're being charged
with driving a vehicle

while under the influence
of alcohol.

Cactibear 2 is firing me?

The production's
coming after you

for what the insurance company
had to pay out.

There's an opening on
"Celebrity Halfway House."



I think you should take it.

I'm here to pay my debt,
that's it.

Walk out that door,
you're in breach of contract.

It's your call.

Nick!

You'll do a line with me,
huh, buddy?

Those guys out there
make me feel like

some kind of drug addict.

Oh, I...

- I like you.
- I like you too, man,

but I'm not interested in
any of the demons

that you're bringing in
with you.

You figure out
how to cut them loose

and you give me call.



But I would say to start with
whoever that Tariq person is.

- Who is that?
- I don't know.

She's been there
most of the day.

Seriously, who are you?

I'm your sister.

My sister?

I don't...

I was a little smaller
the last time you saw me.

Like about...
This size.

I... I grew.

Yeah, you did.

I'm, I'm sorry,
this is just, really...

This is a lot to process
all at once.

I know.

I'm sorry to just blindside you
with this,

but I didn't know
how else to do it.

So, what, do you,
do you live here in L.A.?

Oh no, I live in Boise, Idaho?

It's where mom moved us after...

Right. So...

Do you all still live there?

No, Josh moved back to Australia

to "find himself."

I don't really speak to him
much anymore,

and mom...

What?

I'm sorry.
She was sick.

When?

About two years ago.

I wanted to tell you
when it happened,

but I couldn't find you.

Um...

What?

I just have a lot of questions.

So ask me.

What do you wanna know?

Everything.
I wanna know everything.

Okay, well, everything's a lot.

Where should I start?

Uh... do you...

Do you...
Do you maybe wanna...

Do you wanna go
and talk in my room?

Sure.

I think we're gonna need
a couple of drinks for this.

Oh, I don't drink.

I do.

Okay.

Unbelievable.
The man's an artist.

Your forearm's
in the pizza there.

Agh! Raspberries!

Hi, Raquel!
Hello.

Excuse me?

Weren't you on
Teenage Wasteland?

Nope.

You were!

Raquel Westbrook.

I'd recognize that walk
anywhere.

Well, that's not creepy at all.

Oh, I don't mean it to be.
I'm so sorry!

I just thought
you were the best part

of that whole show.

Oh, well, thank you.

So you are Raquel Westbrook!

You got me.

What is this?

Raquel Westbrook,
you've been served.

You're being sued.

2x09 Help Wanted

And then he shakes
the woman's hand and says,

"congratulations.
You are now pregnant."

Love it!
Put it on the board!

Paul!
What's up, buddy?

To what do we owe the honor?

You wanna know what's up?

Whose is this?!

Really? No one?

The cleaning staff found this
on the back of a toilet

in the writers' bathroom
this morning.

This is not the seventies.

It's not the mid-eighties.

It's not various portions
of the nineties.

You are not day-traders.

It's not a high school
or a discotheque in menace.

You are pale, miserable,
uncool writers

who should not be able to afford
this much cocaine!

You're lucky
you get a writer's bathroom!

Whose is it?

Paul, um, I'm so sorry

that you had to find this.

And that someone on my team
would indulge

in such negligent
and illegal behaviour,

frankly, sickens me.

Not in my room.

Not in my room!

♪ Let's go! ♪

♪ Hey! How you doin', y'all ♪

Find him yet?

No, I didn't.

What the hell
am I paying you for?

Do you know how many
muhammads there are in Montreal?

If that's even where he went?

The kid's a ghost.

Forget it.
I'll find him myself.

As your legal council,
can I give you some advice?

Leave. Tariq. Alone.

Thanks for doing this
on such short notice.

My agent said you were
the best there is.

No problem.

I think we've got everything
sorted out now.

So, if you'll just sign here,
here, and... here...

We can get the ball rolling.

So that's it?

Mm-hmm.

Celebrity Halfway House,
Cactibear...

They can't come after me
anymore?

Nope.
You're free and clear.

Wow.
That was easy.

Raquel, you do understand

what you're doing here, right?

Yeah, I have a pretty good idea.

Why?

I deal with this sort
of thing a lot.

"Easy" is not the word
most people use.

Okay, great.
Thanks a lot.

Hi! Uh, we're here for
the Bill Nye callback?

Simon Pirelli?
Simon.

Great!
Welcome back.

Where are all the other parents?

Uh, they went home.

We're telling them to treat it
like a school day.

Drop 'em off at nine,
pick 'em up at three.

See? I told you.

But isn't that way more work
for you guys?

What, not having a room
full of anxious parents

hovering over us all day?

Yeah, it's the worst.

What? Are you insane?
No, I'm gonna stay.

Is it okay-I'm just gonna...

You promised you wouldn't
treat me like a baby anymore.

Who was that?

Adoption agency.
They want you back.

Come on,
couldn't you use a break?

I taught you well.

Fine!

Three o'clock.

Okay, go!

It's the gratitude that really
just makes it all worthwhile.

Three o'clock!

Okay.

♪ I can swear by the Bible ♪

♪ There's rappers fightin'
other rappers ♪

♪ Like it's practice
for survival... ♪

Here. Uh...

Sorry it took me so long
to pay you back.

No problem!

I actually totally
forgot about it.

Oh, that must be nice.

Whoa!

Uh...
That was close.

Learn from my mistakes.

Abby!

I didn't get a chance
to talk you last night

at the party, so...

Do you wanna maybe grab dinner
with me sometime

or something?

I would... like to.

I just sort of um...
Still hate me?

Met someone.

Oh.

That's great!

Classy.

- That's really not what
- mm-hmm.

Charlotte, come,
I want you to meet somebody.

Charlotte,
this is my... friend Abby.

Abby, this is... Charlotte,
my...

I'm his sister.

It's nice to meet you, Abby.

Oh, that's crazy.

I didn't know you had a sister.

We haven't seen each other
since I was a baby.

Oh. Okay.
So that would explain...

You guys are half-siblings?

You just...
You look really different.

I have our mom's features,

but, you know,
we have the same eyes.

Yeah.

Yeah, there's...

They're the same shape, I guess.

What're you implying?

Nothing! No...

You don't think I'm his sister?

Wait, no, I don't
think that she was...

Nobody's saying
that you're lying.

No.
I think she was.

I wasn't.

Um... I...

It's really nice to meet you.

Abby.

Hey...

I need to talk to you
about Tariq.

What's wrong?
Is Tariq okay?

When's the last time
you talked to him?

Right before he left.

One of his parents was
sick or something.

Why?

Something happened.

I need your help.

What's going on?

I'm recording a new song

and one of my background
singers pulled out

at the last minute.

What?

Tariq thought you might
wanna fill in for her.

That's what you
came here to tell me?

Yeah.

Oh! Oh my God,
I thought...

You really have to learn
how to deliver good news

because...

Yes, I'd love to.
That'd be amazing, actually!

Um, when would you need me?

How 'bout now?

I never said I
wouldn't do commercials.

I said I wouldn't do creatively
unfulfilling commercials.

You're not listening to me:
No one wants to see you.

Okay.
Well, what about voice work?

Raquel...

Dreamworks is doing that movie
with the lazy hummingbird thing.

You got fired from Cactibear.

You walked out of
Celebrity Halfway House.

You're not bondable,

which means no one
can insure you,

which means no one can hire you.

Now, in light of this,
I'm afraid-

don't do this.

I can't represent you anymore.

Navid, please.

You're the only one
on my side right now.

I'm sorry, Raquel.

Good luck.

Everything okay here?

Uh, no.
I wouldn't say that.

My bartender's playing
hard to get.

He's probably on one of his
hourly fifteen minute breaks.

Black pepper Martini,
courtesy of table eight.

Thanks, table eight.

What if the boss finds out?

I won't tell if you don't.

I told you
not to talk to her alone!

She asked me if she was
miscast in Inception!

What was I supposed to do?

Lie! You're supposed to lie!

Hey.

Are you studying
for your S.A.T.'s?

Yeah.

It's not going super-great.

Oh, wait!
Could you...

Could you help me?

Yeah!
Yeah, of course!

Cool!

Yeah! Why don't you
just run away! Go ahead!

Why don't you tell more truths,
you truthsayer!

Sorry.
Production meeting.

Is everything okay?

We lost Ellen page.
The movie's dead.

Oh no, that's awful-

What's up?

She's testing me
on my S.A.T.'s!

That... sounds fun.
Do you need any help?

Sure.

Yeah.

Okay. Okay...

This is stupid.

I don't need a DNA test

to prove that you're my sister.

I'm a stranger
who showed up on your doorstep,

and you're a rich,
famous tv star,

and we look nothing alike.

If getting stabbed
with a needle's

all it takes
to prove we're family,

then let's get stabbed
with a needle.

It's okay.

I used to be a cutter,
but now I'm not.

What's with the bandage?

Rugby accident.

It's not weird when
you push me in a room...

Shut up!
Shut up! Shut up!

The coke belongs to you,
understood?

Nnno... it doesn't.

We can just leave that open.

Or... Closed is good too.

I've been in rehab
like most of the last year.

Maybe you should ask
for your money back.

No. Don't you get it?

Paul thinks
I'm in recovery, man.

It's in my contract.

If he finds out, I'm finished.

So, I'm-just to clarify:

You're asking me
to go to prison for you?

What? You're not
going to prison

for a little coke.

Paul likes you!

No, he doesn't!

Fine! Yeah, he doesn't,
but, Nick, you're so clean!

You're like a boy scout.

You're like a Mary
Tyler Moore episode

just walking around.

You take the heat for this,

what's the worst that happens?

You'll get a fatherly lecture
and a slap on the wrist.

But I'm so clean
he's not gonna believe it.

Just-come on! Please!
I need this, man!

I have a family.
I have a wife and a kid.

Wait, you're someone's father?

Yes!
That's messed up!

Nick! Please!
No, I'm sorry.

I'm not claiming
to be the best father.

Just do this for me.

Yeah, I just...
Come on!

The network is making me
cut two writers...

So... You should do this
for me.

And if I don't?

You should really do this
for me.

So what, now you
ain't answering your phone?

You wanna tell me
what's so important

you gotta be two hours...

What the hell is she doing here?

Recording backup vocals?

On what?

Live by the gun.

I don't think that'd be
the best use of our time today.

Fine.
Let's get some levels.

All right.
So, um...

What am I singing?

Um... we haven't quite
figured that out just yet.

Just have some fun with it.

You know, play around with it.

So is Tariq producing
this track, too,

from Montreal?

Tariq's moved on.

I thought you said that...

We gonna sit here
talking all day

or we gonna record a track?

All right, let's get started.

I know how much
you hate wasting time.

♪ If you close your eyes... ♪

I hope you got cash

because our credit card
machine's are not working.

That's good,

'cause neither are
my credit cards.

Still in the weeds?

Like a Florida swamp.

Yeah, thanks a lot.
Feel better.

Maybe you should tell
your cheap-ass boss

to hire more staff.

Yeah, I'll pass that along.

You want me to talk to him?

I am him.

Uh, I meant "cheap"
in the non-pejorative sense.

Mm-hmm.

Do you want my help?

Are you serious?

Do you have serving experience?

I played a waitress
in a movie once, yeah.

Uh, yeah, no, that's
not serving experience.

Look, I don't know
how I'm gonna pay this

and you need help, so...

Why don't we do a little...
A little swip-swap.

- A "swip-swap"?
- Yeah.

- No.
- No?

Thanks, but my business
doesn't run on tradesies.

Yes, sir, I'll be right
with you, just...

Yes, sir,
I'll be right with you.

Just give me a second.
I just gotta...

I got it.

What do you want?

This place is so big!

I know!

I used to get lost every day,
I swear.

This, here, is where I usually
give families the bad news,

like...

"I'm so sorry, Charlotte,
we did everything we could

but your brother's
cardiomyopathy is inoperable."

What's cardie-?

I don't know.

I just say what they write
and I try not to trip.

Cool!

So they built this whole thing
just for your show?

I mean, wouldn't it be easier
just to use a real hospital?

Well...

Real hospitals are generally
pretty busy being...

Uh, being hospitals.

Right.
Right. Of course.

Are those fake too?

No.
No, those are real.

What are they for?

Um... just... even me out.

Right.

You know,
I used to take those too.

They made me feel better

but they didn't make me
get better.

They work for me.

Do they?

I mean I'm sure
they mask the problem

so you don't have
to deal with it, but...

Sorry, I'm opinionated.
I don't mean to...

No, no.
It's okay.

I just want you to be
happy and healthy.

Oh, hey Nicky.

Oh my gosh!
Is that Nicole Evans?!

She's dating Thor.
You know that, right?

You wanna meet her?

Are you serious?

Yeah, come on!

Oh, I can't believe your life.

Hey, Nicole!

Okay. Phagocyte.

That is just offensive.

"Involving
or containing an untruth."

Nope.
What?

No, I studied that one.

I think you might be thinking
of "fallacious."

These words are filthy.

What did you get on
your S.A.T.'s?

I didn't take them.

This is weird...
It says that you're right.

You might wanna double-check
these flashcards.

Easy there, encyclopedia brown.

I'm serious.

There's no point
in her learning them wrong.

Oh! My bad!

I must've jumped down a line
when I was copying these down.

Do you guys mind helping me
check the rest of these?

Uh, I can help!

How did you know that?

I'm a genius.

Well, really. Okay.
Let's see about that.

Excuse me.

Hey, man, I'm
trying to work here.

"Sarah is a blank pupil.

She studies for hours
and memorizes every answer."

- (She is a)
- Meticulous.

- Is that right?
- That's right.

"Emphasizing the importance
of the whole."

Holistic.

"Larger or more generous
than necessary."

Munificent.
These are easy.

Did you memorize the dictionary?

I didn't memorize it, but...

It was one
of the only books we had

when I was a kid, so...

You memorized the dictionary?

Nerd!

That is the saddest thing
I've ever heard in my life!

Sorry!

Not all of us grew up with pools

in our backyards.

Well, you're gonna have to
make up for some lost time then.

Aggghhhhh!

I can't believe you did that!

Whoa!

Fair is fair, my friend.

Now don't push me in the pool!

I wouldn't wanna go in!
Don't do it!

Stop! I can't-no!
Don't push me in the... Pool.

No, I'm telling you that it is.

Why don't you go buy a tv,
subscribe to some channels,

watch them,

and then I'll check back

and see if you still feel
the same way.

You take care then.
Bye!

What?

It's uh...
It's about the cocaine.

Well, just so you know,

I am super-okay with rats, so...

Feel free to name names.

Nick.
I-I-it's mine.

What's yours?

The cocaine.

Mmm...
I don't think so.

Look, I-I-I'm sorry.
I just...

I've been... tired,

and, you know, the pressure
of that room and the show,

and just, the sheer volume
of material

I'm having to generate,

I just...

Decided to...
Get into cocaine...

For a bit.

You're on cocaine?

That's mine, yeah.

Are you sure
you're using it correctly?

Are you putting it in your body?

It's not icing sugar,
baby powder.

No... no, no.

I'm pretty good
at buying cocaine,

so it's definitely
like real cocaine

'cause I... I loved it.

You know, Nick,

I respect you
for telling me the truth.

Thank you.

Here's what we're gonna do:

Get out.

What...
What do you mean?

You're fired.

You haters out there
who said I turned soft... ♪

♪ ooh... yeah, yeah... ♪

♪ ...Wonderin'
when I start gunning ♪

Sorry. Whoops!

Could... could I just
take that again?

Why don't you just stick
to the "ooh" part, all right?

Okay.

It almost feels like this song
wasn't built for backup vocals.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Hey, Abby, let's
just take it from the top.

Yo, whatchya doin'?

What am doing, Kal?

I sit around
waiting for you to show up,

and then when you do,

you wanna run your own plays?

This is my album.

Well, good luck finishing it
without a producer.

Hey, let's just take
a little short break.

But, um,
you're doing good though.

It's nice to talk to someone
who's not ten for a change.

Why didn't you take
your s.A.T.'s?

Why, were you impressed?

I didn't say that.

I just... it seems like college
might make sense

for someone who likes
to memorize boring things.

I can't go to school.
I have Simon.

What?

If anyone could make
it work, it's you.

Oh yeah?

Yeah.
You're amazing.

What?
I think I'm done swimming.

Ugh! Don't...

Here's your... whatever.

There you go.

And... You look like a guy
who would order a wrap.

Hi!

Hi. How's it going?

Oh, you know, a couple hiccups,

but, um, actually, not bad.

I mean, my feet are killing me,

but otherwise great.

Great. Fantastic.

What?

Well, a lot of people aren't
getting the food they ordered,

or on time,

or sometimes at all.

There's a learning curve,
obviously.

And you spilled on someone
twice.

And I apologized twice.

But most of the complaints
are about your attitude.

Well, that's stupid.
Your customers are stupid,

and I wanna know who said that?

It's not important who...

'Cause I know who it was!
It was table four, right?

Look, I think what
I'm trying to say is...

You know what?
My apps are up,

so we're gonna have
to talk about this later.

Beth?

Beth, why is the door locked?

Beth, are you in there?
Beth, are you-

Simon!

What're you doing here?
What time is it?

Uh, Emma drove me home.

Who's Emma?
What are you guys doing?

I'm Emma.

You got into a car
with a stranger?!

You didn't show up.
I tried calling.

You don't get into cars
with strangers, Simon!

You know better than that!

You're smarter than...

He needed a lift home,
I gave him one.

He's not the one
who messed up here.

- See ya, Simon.
- Thank you.

Sure.

Thank you.

I'm just gonna...

Get inside.

What?
What did I do?

Get inside now!

And this is my
home away from home.

Oh wow!

It's bigger than my actual home.

Oh, I wi...

You know, mom would've
really loved to see this.

What's wrong?

Did she, um...

Did she ever talk about me?

Right.

You know, I think she felt
a lot of guilt about...

You know,
about leaving you behind.

Connor! Stepping up!
We need you on set.

Sure.
Hey, have you met my sister yet?

Uh, I'll come back for you in five.

Hey, hey, what's wrong?

I have to tell you something.

You're not her, are you?

What?

You're not my sister.

- No, of course I am.
- That's not

Mom didn't...

She didn't die.

She killed herself.

Why?

Because of me?

She never forgave herself
for what she did to you.

You know, she didn't talk
about you much,

but I...

I know she thought
about you every day.

You need to talk to Paul.

Uh, you might wanna
watch your tone there, Nick.

Actually, I can use
whatever tone I like

because me and my tone
don't work here anymore.

What do you mean?

I mean Paul fired
me for the coke.

Whoa.

Did not see that coming.

You have to talk to him.

You have to convince him
to give me my job back.

I don't see how I can
make that happen, Nick.

Of course.

Of course you're gonna
hang me out to dry.

Why would I...

You know, you might be
the worst person

I have ever met.

And it would almost be okay

if you were good at this job,

but you're not.

Everybody knows Chris and Ryan
completely rewrite

everything you do.

You're always late,
you're always drunk,

you look like a muppet
without its fur,

and the only reason
you're even here

is because Paul knew you back
when you used to be funny.

Yeah, well, the
only reason you're here

is 'cause I figured out

that Sabrina and I were never
going to bang.

Ungh!

Gentlemen.

Feels super-awkward
and, and humiliating.

I just... I feel like
I shouldn't even be here.

Abby, I feel your pain.

Okay, I just got disqualified
in the first round

of my family's annual
darts tournament.

Maybe we should just fake
our own deaths.

I miss you.

Whoa.

Sorry, no. Uh, sorry.
Was that too soon?

I know we just started dating,
I just...

No, no, no.

My mom just threw a dart
at my dad.

On purpose?

Yeah, it's uh...
It's hard to say.

Sorry, did you...

Did you just say we were dating?

Oh God! No, no, no.

I didn't mean it like that.

No, Abby, I miss you too.

All right, break's over.

I gotta go.

Hey...

Don't let 'em
push you around, okay?

Uh, where's everyone else?

I sent 'em home.
Let's go.

♪ Everything I work for ♪

♪ Everything is now gone ♪

All right,

so I've got good news
and bad news.

You're a terrible waitress
and you're fired.

Which part of that
was the good news?

Look, you're no good
on the floor.

Diners don't like attitude.

But, luckily, drunks do

and I just fired
my bartender, so...

You know your way
around a drink?

I've mixed my share.

Uh, did you just miss the part
where I offered you a job?

I appreciate the opportunity, okay?
I do.

It's not like
I don't need the money.

But...

This just isn't where
I saw myself ending up.

No offense.

Well, who says
you gotta end up here?

This doesn't have to be
the end of the line.

You just seem like
you need a reset.

A reset?

Yeah.
Listen, a year ago,

I was a civil servant
in Lincoln Heights,

married to someone
I didn't love,

living a life I didn't want.

So I quit my job,
I left my wife,

and I put every dollar I had...

And actually a bunch
that I didn't...

Into opening this restaurant.

I didn't like the game
I was playing,

so I hit the reset button.

Hmm. So I guess
I just have to find out

what my "restaurant" is.

Well, we know for sure
it's not restaurants.

So...

I'll see you tomorrow at 11?

Okay.

Okay.

Are you mad at me?

No.

I'm not mad at you,
I'm mad at...

I'm really sorry
that I yelled at you,

that I wasn't there
to pick you up today.

It's okay.

Emma drove me, it's fine.

It's not fine, Simon.

I'm gonna do better, I promise.

Good night, buddy.

Are you not going to go to bed?

No.

I'm just gonna sit here.

Well, I don't really
know if I can go to sleep

if you're just staring at me.

Hey.
Hey.

Is everything...?

Go.

I'll be right back, okay?

Okay.

Is he upset?

No.

Well, I mean he's upset
that I'm upset,

but no, he's fine.

Great.
Did you wanna grab a beer?

I can't do this.

Why not?

I have to focus on Simon.

I took one day for myself
and look what happened.

He's in bed in his pajamas?

Is he safe?
Did he get hurt?

No, but...

Then how badly
can you have screwed up?

You turned your ringer off.
Are you gonna do that again?

No. But it's not
just that...

I lost track of time completely

when I was with you today.

I can't be selfish.

He's my responsibility.

You can't make every second
about Simon,

otherwise you're gonna
end up resenting him,

and that's not good for anyone.

You are the opposite of selfish.

You are...

Incredible.

The opposite of selfish
is altruistic...

Or unselfish.

All I'm saying is you have
to cut yourself some slack.

What?

I just wish one of us
had our own room.

I'm on it.

Oh my gosh, is
that how you take off makeup?

Oh, you know better?

Well, yeah, actually.

I kind of wear it sometimes, so...

Be my guest.

Stepping up.
This just came for you.

Thank you.

It's DNA results.

That was fast.

Yeah, I paid for them
to um... expedite it.

Well, aren't you gonna open it?

I'm sorry...

It looks like
you're stuck with me.

Are you kidding me?!

I can't believe this!

I have a sister!
I have a family!

What do you want?
Can I...

I wanna do something for you...

Anything!
Come on!

You could buy me dinner.

There's gotta be something.
Anything you want.

No, I have everything I need.

There's actually...

There's something
that I wanna do for you.

Really? What?

You're such a remarkable person.

You have so much potential

and it breaks my heart

to think that you're not living
your ideal life.

I wanna help you do that.

How?

I'm with the church
of scienetics.

Sorry.
I didn't have any ice.

No problem.
Thanks, Dita.

So... You just punched him?
Why?

He called me a mean name.

So? He's always calling
you mean stuff.

How was this any different?

It doesn't matter.
I'm finished.

Well, it could be worse.

How? I punched my boss
in the face.

Yeah, but his nose bone
could've gone into his brain

and killed him.

I have no job, no prospects,

no one thinks I'm funny,

and now a very
influential comedian

believes that I am an avid
and careless cocaine user.

Hey...
Scott could sue me.

I could go to prison.

I could get violated by a lifer

who happens to like my...

Listen to me,

because I'm only gonna
say this once:

You're funny, you're smart,

and you deserved that job...

Almost as much as I did.

You have a home,

you have cash in your pocket,

and you have me.

So hold still, dumb-ass.

Cool! Who's Adam Arkin?

It's over, okay?
So go ahead, gloat.

What're you doing?!

Hey!

Oh, come on!
Can we please just-!

Hello, I'm Raquel.

Beth.

The movie, let's make it.

What, now?

Yeah.

You have half a million dollars?

No. But let's shoot it anyway.

We'll do it guerrilla-style...

We'll use what we have,
and we'll steal what we don't.

And where are
we supposed to find

a luxury high-rise apartment

that we can shoot in for free?

What about a crappy
low-rise motel?

The roof, 'kay?
Ten minutes.

We'll shoot

Okay? Here.
Let's go.

Nice to meet you.
