Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - Zoey's Extraordinary Boss - full transcript

People!

The Sprq Point launch party
is in just three days.

Have we gotten anywhere
on Charlie's watch demo?

Well, considering you came up
with a completely new version

two hours ago and the technology
doesn't even exist yet,

I guess you could say...
we're working on it.

Oh. Well, we've got one chance

to leverage my husband's star power.

The last thing he endorsed was
a little company called Uber.

Have you ever heard of that?

So could everyone please
act as if they care?



I haven't breathed outside
air in over 48 hours.

Because air is for winners.

How hard can it be to
mirror Charlie's watch

to everyone else's at the
party with limited latency?

Look, I'm gonna go easy on you,
let you knock off early, okay?

We'll get a fresh start in the morning.

She does realize it's midnight, right?

I know Charlie Bennett
is a big get and all,

but why are we killing
ourselves for this chump?

What did you just say, bro?

Are you calling the CEO
of RockOut Games a chump?

Hey, Tobes, Tobes, Tobes, take it easy.

- No, no, no.
- No, take it easy, all right?

Not everybody
understands Charlie's genius.



Plus, like, what if he fights back?

Yeah.

Dude, Joan is crushing us.

When I get home,
I'm going straight to bed.

Honestly, there's a world
in which I don't even floss.

Are you forgetting?

We told Simon we'd meet up with him

so he can approve Mo
to DJ the watch party.

Oh, that's right.
And I invited Autumn, too.

Why did we come up with
this stupid, stupid plan?

We're not that bright.

Splash some water on your face,
and meet me by the elevators.

All right.

What the actual...

Hi. I'm here.
We literally just got off work,

which would have been bad enough,

but then my boss had
to go and sing to me.

Ooh, was it "9 to 5"? Because
Dolly Parton is my spirit animal.

It was actually "Satisfaction,"
which makes no sense,

because we've been
working nonstop recently.

How could Joan
possibly not be satisfied?

Maybe she was singing about
something besides work.

There are lots of reasons why
people are unsatisfied, Zoey.

80% of it is sex-related.

Do you just make these statistics up?

35% of the time.

Well, if this has anything to do
with Joan's love life,

then I am out.

No good can come out of me

being my boss's relationship counselor.

You know what?

I'm gonna keep this
one simple. I'll go in.

I'll ask Joan if anything's
bothering her at work,

because that is my responsibility,

but beyond that, I am drawing a line.

Zoey, look, I say this
with enough love and respect

that our three-week friendship demands.

I'm auditioning to DJ your party,

and you're distracting as hell.

So if you'll excuse me,
I have to hit 'em with the...

♪ Oh, oh, do me, baby ♪

- ♪ Alright, stop what you're doing... ♪
- Hey, hey, Zoey!

Check this out.

Autumn can guess anyone's drink
within minutes of meeting them.

Simon's tough, though,

because you've got this chill,
confident vibe.

But then it's like...

"What's that guy's deal?" you know?

- Yeah.
- I've got it.

- Mezcal Mule.
- Whoa!

You actually nailed it.

Are you serious? I told you.

Listen, some people
can read your inner aura.

- I can read your inner cocktail.
- Yeah.

Come on, whiskey sour,
this body has gotta move.

Oh! Sorry, guys.

Her body is very bossy apparently.

Okay.

So your boy Mo's gonna be great

for the Sprq Point party.
He is a boy, right?

He doesn't believe in labels.

Well, I'm labeling him the perfect DJ

for our big night,
and I'm not just saying that

because it's in three days
and the first DJ backed out.

Hey, if you want to get out there,

please don't let me hold you back.

No, no, I'm good. Seriously.

The only place I'm comfortable
dancing is in my bedroom...

... closet.

Well, normally
I'd be the first out there,

but I haven't been
feeling it since my dad...

It's just like it's too
soon to let go or something.

I... totally get it.

If I walk into my parents'
house in a good mood,

I feel like I'm betraying my father.

Are we crazy?

Yes.

Ooh.

Is it okay for him to be
air spanking her like that?

I think it's all right. Those look
like consensual spanks to me.

Emily, Zoey's ready.

Sorry. I was just looking
for some Pop-Tarts,

but then I realized that
you're not stoned college kids

so I'm just gonna take down
this loaf of bread instead.

So now that we're all here,

the buzzer was a great first step.

- Thank you very much.
- But as we all learned,

it's frustrating communicating with
only yes or no answers, right, Dad?

Right there with you, honey.

So I created a program

that will help Dad spell
what he wants to say

by using a mouse to
select different letters.

So, Dad, now's your chance

to finally say what's been on your mind.

Let 'er rip.

Ooh.

L-E...

Do you think he's gonna say,
"Lean in closer?"

Maybe he can't hear us right now.

I hope it's not "Leave me alone."

Or "Leaping lizards."

Why would he say that?

"Lemonade"?

That's what you want
to say to all of us?

Guess he's just been craving
lemonade all this time.

Well, one lemonade coming up.

Mom.

Are you all right?

Oh... Yeah, no, I'm fine.

Um, it was silly of me to think

that the very first
thing that he would spell

would be some deep
and meaningful message.

I just got my hopes up too much.

Uh, shouldn't you be getting to work?

Don't remind me. I've got to find out

why Joan is so unhappy with my team.

Hopefully she's in a better place today.

We're out of Crunch Berries again?

Who ate all the Crunch Berries?!

Was it Glenn? Bring me Glenn!

Dude, come on, man.
I have to be lead programmer

on the watch demo. I worship Charlie.

I'm pretty sure I worship him more,

'cause I went to his TED Talk,
memorized his TED Talk,

and then gave his TED Talk

to a workshop about giving TED Talks.

Guys, it doesn't matter
who the lead programmer is.

Just, please,
stop fanboying over Charlie,

and get the work done.

You just don't get it because
you've never played "Better World."

It was the first virtual society RPG,

and dedicated players like us

finally had an entire
universe to explore.

Without ever leaving
your parents' basement.

Make your little jokes, brah,

but you could do
anything in "Better World."

Lost my virginity in there.
Still counts.

Does it, though? Does it?

Zoey, finally.

We need to decide who
the lead programmer is.

- Leif and Tobin have been acting...
- They can be co-leads.

I have bigger issues
to deal with right now.

Hi, Joan.

Top of the morning to you.

- Don't ever say that again.
- Okay.

Uh, well, I just wanted
to do a quick check-in,

make sure you're happy
with our performance.

You seem just a little bit
more frustrated than normal.

So I was wondering if you felt that,

from us, you were getting...

no satisfaction.

Um, first of all,
that's terrible grammar.

And don't tell the clowns downstairs.

I think you're doing a pretty good job.

Are you sure?

But just so you know,

if you were feeling
dissatisfied in any way,

you could tell me.

Oh, thank you for giving me permission

to do what is literally
in my job description.

I guess that perhaps I
have been a little more...

on edge than normal.

Understandable.

We got a big event coming up.

Hah! Yes, it's the event.

Oh, is it not the event?

Oh, you know, the event,

the watch, the keynote speaker.

You mean your husband Charlie?

Oh.

Um, I thought that was a
good thing he was coming. Isn't it?

Oh, yeah. As a woman in my position,

it feels super great

that I need
my husband's stamp of approval

for me to get a big win at work.

Right. That sounds...

complicated, but, uh,

since your issue seems to be personal,

not work-related,
I'm guessing we're good.

Honestly, you get to
a point in a long marriage

where you look at the
naked man beside you...

Whoop, gotta go.
So much work to do. Ta-ta.

Off the table.

Again?

Hello, Mother.

I'm happy to grab lunch,

but I don't think I'll be much help

with the playlist for the watch party.

That was a ruse. You know
you are literally the last person

I would ask for song suggestions from.

- Right.
- What we need

to be talking about is me meeting

both of the men in your life last night.

Mo, Max and Simon are not the,
quote, men in my life,

end quote. One of them
is about to get married

to a lovely Brit named Jessica,

and the other is in a
very handsy relationship.

Sounds like somebody's a little
jealous of Max and Autumn.

Not jealous. Just aware.

Which I acknowledge is weird,
'cause I'm the one who set them up.

I get it. I wasn't into
Cory Booker until Rosario Dawson.

Then, I was like, "Okay,
Cory, I see you."

At first, I was Team Simon,
because, you know,

he has that whole brooding,
emotionally raw vibe.

But then I was Team Max,
because he's got

that sweet, funny,
guy-next-door thing going for him.

Mo, I am serious.
This debate is not happening.

- There are no teams.
- And yet I play for both.

What do you hear them playing?

A ratchet version of
"Yankee Doodle Dandy."

I was a drum major in high school,

and that mess would
not have been tolerated.

Well, I hear
them playing "Satisfaction,"

and that song has been
following me everywhere I go.

It's like it's haunting me.

Well, did you talk to your boss

like you said you were going to?

I mean, I sort of did,

until I found out that what
she's so unsatisfied with

has something to do with her love life,

and then I just ran the other direction.

We're learning something
new about your power, then.

Just because you don't
want to help somebody

does not mean the universe
is gonna say, "Thank you. Next."

But since when is it my responsibility

to be a couples therapist?
I am terrible at relationships.

Look, Zo-loft, do what you want,

but if you don't dive into
your boss's man troubles,

then you might be haunted
by The Rolling Stones

for all of eternity.

Okay!

I'll do it!

Ahoy there, Joan.

What's wrong now?
Is this about mirroring

- the watches for Charlie's demo?
- Oh, actually, no. I just...

Because nothing tanks a presentation

- like a sync-delay.
- Totally agree. No.

What I'd really like
is for all the watches

to flash different
colors at the same time.

What is wrong with you and Charlie?

Just...

- Um, why? What?
- I don't know.

I don't know. It seems like
you two are having problems.

Am I wrong? I'm happy to be wrong.

We have the same old drama.

There's nothing to worry about.

But I feel like I maybe...

need to worry about it.

And I know I'm just a colleague...

- Subordinate.
- But I have always found it

helpful to vent when I'm
feeling dissatisfied.

I don't vent. I scream into a pillow.

Do you want a drink?

Right now in the middle of the workday?

Mm, here we go.

72-year-old scotch.

It'll be lost on you,

but one day, you'll appreciate it.

So you want to hear about my marriage.

Sorry I missed dinner,

but Joan would not stop
talking about her love life.

She made me day drink, Mom.

Well, doesn't she have any
other female friends at work?

There are no other females at work.

It's sad, Mom.

Joan and Charlie are, like,

the exact opposite of you and Dad.

With them, everything
is always on his terms, and...

she can't seem to
tell him what she needs.

Well, your father had no trouble

telling me his needs today.

After many requests for lemonade,

he managed to put a few words together.

He's especially proud of spelling

"No more 'Real Housewives.'"

Is someone coming over?

I don't think so.

Honestly, I can't keep track anymore.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Hey.
- I know it's late,

but you said pop by anytime.

I sure did.

Rick and I just got
back from Santa Cruz,

and we found this cute
little saltwater taffy shop,

and we thought Mitch would love some.

That is so sweet of you,
Susan. Thank you.

Of course my dad can barely
swallow and might choke on it,

but maybe I can try one
and describe it to him?

- She day drank.
- I did.

I think I should go make a
really nice cheese plate,

and we should all sit down
and just have a catch-up.

- Oh, we don't want to bother.
- I could eat.

Okay. Go say hi to Mitch.

I'll be right there.

- Hi, Mitch. How are you?
- Hey, Mitch.

Want some help?

No. You go on home.
You've had a long day.

I've got this.

You sure? I don't mind.

I'm sure.

Fresh bagels on a Thursday morning?

What did we ever do to deserve this?

All your wife talks about

are her cravings for
various bread products.

Don't blame me. Blame the tapeworm.

- Eh...
- Oh, sorry, the cute tapeworm.

Uh, actually, the reason I'm here

is I want to talk about Mom.
She might not be handling things

- as well as we think she is.
- Really? What...

This is based on...

A hunch.

- A hunch?
- Mm-hmm.

Well, as a public defender,

you know how many innocent lives
I've seen ruined by a hunch?

No, but I do know how
often you like to remind me

that you are a public defender.

Hey, listen, I'm a hero.

I've been by their house
every day this week.

- She's totally fine.
- Fine? She's not fine.

I think someone should keep
an eye on her, and the problem

is I am super swamped
with this big work event,

and my boss is being
extra needy right now.

Oh, so the bagels were a bribe, huh?

Yeah? Those are dirty bagels.

It's fine. It's fine.
I'll handle it just as soon

as I can find my case
schedule for today. Ah.

No, this is just a list
of lactation consultants.

Hey, there you are.

I don't know what you
did to Joan yesterday,

but she's a totally different person.

She actually yelled at me by name

when she told me to
move in the stairwell.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Well, I'm glad something good
came out of talking to her.

Hey, Zoey.

Hey.

What's happening?

I don't know.

- Can we talk?
- Oh.

I'm gonna take you with me

to a women-in-tech thing next month.

It's in Daytona, a place that's
basically an STD with palm trees,

but, um, I think...
I think we'll have fun.

- Thank you?
- No, thank you.

Thank you for our talk last night.

It helped me see some
of the inefficiencies

in my relationship,
and I have a solid game plan now

moving forward to ensure
proper marital growth.

I'm so happy I could be helpful.

- I'm gonna...
- Oh, I-I got this for you.

It's nothing, really, but...

Oh, you could take the whole bag. Okay.

They're Louboutins.

- Wow.
- I know.

I don't know who or what that is.

They're, um, very nice shoes.

Plus, you really need to step up
your game for the party.

I mean, you dress like
a docent at a folk art museum.

Oh, there's lunch.

Must mean Charlie's on his way.

He promised he'd stop by during lunch

to go over the demo.

I think he might already be here.

- Ah, hey, babe.
- Hey.

I, uh, thought
you worked on the top floor.

No.

Mr. Bennett, it is an honor to meet you.

- Hi. Yeah.
- We're such big fans.

Hi. Also the co-leads on the project.
Quick question.

If you lose your virginity in
"Better World"...

- Doesn't count.
- Okay. Yeah.

- Told you.
- Yeah.

All right. Should we work?

Yes. Uh, conference room right that way.

Um, oh, Zoey, join us, please,

in case we have
questions about the demo.

There's plenty of food.

For Charlie, we order
all the sushi in San Francisco.

Charlie, the reason we're so
excited is Zoey and her team

were finally able to reprogram the demo

so that this watch will mirror
to all the devices in the room,

which is pretty fantastic...

and, then, Hardware
came up with the prototype.

Look at that.

Babe? Charlie. Did you hear me?

Uh, sorry. Rick thinks it's funny

to scare me with foreign sales figures.

Oh, nice watch.

Thank you. Oh, Zoey,
come sit here with us.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah, come sit on this end.

Okay.

Marketing put together a speech.

It just has some bullet
points you might find useful.

Anything you want to pick
to feature the watch,

something about gaming.

"You have the world of
gaming on your wrist."

Charlie, we did this working lunch

so that you could make
it to your next meeting.

Could you just give me a minute?

Sorry I can't skip school
for the entire day, Joan,

but we both have major
releases coming up, right?

I guess yours is more important.

You're making that clear.

And we're doing is again.

Why do you have to
always turn everything

- into an attack?
- This isn't an attack?

No, this isn't an attack.
This is just me saying I need

some space, too, for my work.
My work is important, too.

But, Zoey,

what is the thing we were
talking about last night?

I was trying to explain
how I say one simple thing

and... and it turns into an attack.

- Me?
- Yes.

Zoey put it in very clear terms.

Did she, now? So, what was it exactly?

I'd, um... I don't really
want to get involved.

Oh, sounds like
it's a little late for that.

- Hey.
- No, no, no, no. Please.

Zoey, uh, tell me about
my dynamic with my wife.

Um, I'm not exactly super
comfortable chiming in.

But...

for example...

I don't know. Do you remember
the time when you and Joan

were stuck in a gondola
in Aspen on New Year's Eve

- and Joan was feeling...
- All right, all right.

- Okay, whoa. We're done here.
- What do you mean?

I'm not sure why you feel compelled

to inject yourself into our marriage...

- Charlie.
- But if you think it's helping...

- ... you're wrong.
- Charlie!

And, Joan,
you can have all the space you want.

I'm gonna take a suite at the Fairmont.

You don't have to worry about me coming

to your little office party.

Joan, I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.
That's very embarrassing. Um...

Uh, just, you know, um,
I'll hold down the fort here,

and don't even think about the party.

Oh, God, the party.

Please don't worry about anything.

'Cause I'll fix it.

- Oh, my God.
- Yeah...

I didn't even know they made colors...

- Hey, guys.
- Hey.

So, quick update. Charlie thought
the watch looked great,

and he was very impressed
with all of our work here,

so much so that he thought
the watch could launch itself,

- and he dropped out of the event.
- What did you do?

Hey, also, what's the deal
with the sushi back there?

Is it first come, first serve,
or am I allowed to...

- Zoey.
- I don't want to get into it

right now. He just can't be here.

Who can't be here?

Because if we have a cancellation,

there's a massive wait list

now that Charlie's demoing the watch.

There has been a small hiccup.

Um, is there any possible
chance you could replace Charlie

with another huge media
influencer by tomorrow night?

♪ My name is no, my sign is no ♪

♪ My number is no,

Um, yeah.

It shouldn't be a problem.

Just pull out my contacts
and start working on that.

Cool, cool. Our team can help, too.

Thank you.

Seriously, David, I'm fine.

You did not have to leave work
to take me on a lemonade run.

I know, but you've got
a lot on your plate,

even if it is easier to
communicate with Dad now.

Oh, is it easier?

Oh, perfect.

Amazing, actually.

It's fine. Mom,
we can find more lemonade.

Chalk that up as another fail for me.

What are you talking about?
You're not... You're not failing.

I just feel like I am spinning
a million plates at once,

and the first thing that your father

wanted to tell me on that computer

was about something I was
not providing for him.

Dad's not always fully there.

We don't actually know
what's going on in his head.

I know, but I thought he might
say something sweet or tender.

Instead, he requested a beverage.

And now I can't even give him that.

There's a Trader Joe's
three blocks from here.

I'm sure they'll have
plenty of lemonade.

But your father likes
the one from here more.

Hi, there.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Um, could you spare a couple of bottles,

because I think that you guys

might have cleaned out the whole store?

Oh, no, we definitely did.

We're having this whole Beyoncé-themed

lemonade party tonight,
because, duh, Beyoncé.

But, my husband really loves...

Wow, we're still talking about this?

I'm sorry.
We're expecting a huge turnout tonight,

so if your husband is
dying for some lemonade,

you can make it yourself.

You're gonna give me three bottles

before I beat them out of you.

- Whoa.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

What did you just say to me?

- You heard me.
- Mom, it's. uh...

I have bras older than you.

That's not even a diss.

Oh, it's a diss. It's a damn diss!

- You want to get in here?
- Mom, let's get out of here...

- Give me the damn lemonade.
- Not a chance.

- Okay, I'm getting this.
- Stop it!

We're getting this on tape
just so you know, crazy lady.

I'm getting it on tape, too.

- Oh, really?
- Yeah.

Where?

Everyone I've reached out
to either isn't available or

doesn't want to be a
last-minute fill-in for Charlie.

How 'bout Jeff Bezos...

... 's niece?

I-I know Katie Zuckerberg.

- No relation to Mark.
- What?

All right, uh,
I don't want to say anything,

but I may have a direct
line to Shigeru Miyamoto.

What? The best game designer ever?
Mister Nintendo?

Why didn't you lead with that?

Um, also how do you
know such a big baller?

He's just a family connection,
but it's a really big ask,

and I can only call in this favor once,

so are we sure we want
me to press this button?

- I mean, it's do-or-die time.
- Yeah.

Okay. I'm on it. Yeah.

If Shigeru hops on a plane right now,

he can make it from Kyoto in 14 hours.

I'll be right back.

What?

People, good news.

Charlie's back in.

- Yeah!
- Yes!

- Okay... Okay.
- Still a lot to do.

What happened?

Did Charlie apologize...

We got him. That's what matters.

Okay. Okay, but are you okay, because...

Focus on your team, Zoey.

It's amazing! It is on, people.

Shigeru Miyamoto is in.

I called in my one-time-only favor

and got the big man himself.
How you like me now?

Charlie's back in, isn't he?

- Yeah.
- Really?

Okay. Well, we're happy.

Is she happy? Joan happy?

Gotta make a call.

And... this is where I work.

Huh. Where do you want me to set up?

You're not gonna say
anything about this place?

Honey, I snuck onto Elton John's yacht.

This is literally nothing.

There he is.

Oh, snap, are you gonna
play actual records tomorrow?

You know, I've been known
to keep it old-school.

That's what up.
Let me grab these for you.

Oh, thank you.

So chivalrous.

You know, I'm officially on
the record as Team Simon.

Mm-mm. What's wrong? What did Simon do?

You know I got my fighting nails on.

I'm like Wolverine, but daintier.

No, Simon didn't do anything.

It's, uh... It's Joan.

I don't know why,

but I feel like I'm not
finished helping her yet.

Are you still being haunted by her song?

No. I feel like I'm
just worried about her.

Wait. So you want to help her

just because you want to help her?

Zoey Clarke,
are you growing as a person?

No.

Her husband's a dick.

It's a girl-power thing.

I scream out when I see injustice.

Stop looking at me.

Is everything all right?

Can you go be with Dad?
Emily has a partner dinner,

and Mom and I are still at the store.

Didn't you say you were
heading out, like, two hours ago?

We got held up.

Well, we're back.

And the good news is

I've been banned from the grocery store.

For life.

I'll be back.

Okay, Mom is doing
way worse than we thought.

I told you.

I guess we've been so
focused on taking care of Dad

that we weren't even thinking

about how hard this
all must be on Mom, too.

She always seems like she's
so on top of everything, you know?

Look, at the end of the day,

we get to leave here,
we get to go back to our lives, but...

this is her life.

Mom is my responsibility, too,

and I'm starting to realize that...

problems don't just go
away if I ignore them.

You're just... You're
just realizing this?

- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah, okay.

There's been a radical shift in the way

I perceive the world.
You wouldn't understand.

I guess not. Look, why don't we do this?

Why don't we put together
some sort of a schedule

with each other where
we can get a Mom a break

before she has, like, another...

complete meltdown on aisle five?

Yeah, let's do that.

But, um, first,

we have to convince her
to go along with that.

You're right. She's
gonna put up a fight.

The woman is terrifying.

Kinda hard to finish coding

in the middle of Disney's
Electrical Parade.

Really? I find I do my best
programming in da club.

Kevin, can I see the, uh...

Oh, God!

I said dramatic lighting,
not interrogation room.

What am I, living in a flashlight?

- Can you bring that down?
- Well, looks like old Joan is back.

You know, I don't know if those balloons

say "launch party" or
"my nephew's bar mitzvah."

- I'm not even Jewish.
- I'll be right back.

Do you guys even work here?
You have two collars.

Wh... Pick one. Go. Get out of here.

Joan, can I talk to you for a second?

I know it's not my place, but...

you opened up to me the
other night for a reason,

and...

if you ever want to
talk about it again...

I'm here.

Okay.

I had to beg him to come back.

I had to apologize to him...

even though he's the one
who threatened to leave.

And it's not the first time
he's bailed on me like that.

And yet somehow,
for some reason, I keep...

working on it.

'Cause the idea of losing
Charlie feels worse than...

this.

Whatever this is.

Well, I can't tell you what to do,

and I am definitely
not one to judge, but...

you deserve to be satisfied.

Oh. Sorry I'm late.

I left these at the BART station,

and I had to go back,
because these shoes, well,

apparently they're
worth more than my life.

Look, I told you
we can do this another time.

- I know you have your event.
- No, no, I'm making time.

Okay, remember, be strong.

And take any sharp
objects out of her hands.

Hey, uh, Mom...

We want to float an idea by you.

Is this an intervention?

I told you I got a great night of sleep.

I'm way less crabby now.

I even sent the Kappa
Alphas a nice fern.

We just want to talk to you
about helping out with Dad more.

We want to give you some time off.

Time off from my husband?

You've taken on this all
yourself for far too long.

But he is my life partner.
You kids have your own lives.

And you know he would
say the same thing.

Mom...

there is nothing in the world

that I love more than your smile.

But not if it isn't real.

So maybe if we can just take
a little bit off your plate...

you can find that real smile again.

Okay.

_

"Let them help."

Okay.

Oh, well, excuse me.

Are you my friend Zoey's
self-actualized sister,

or did someone have a major glow-up?

Wow, you look amazing, Mo.

Zoey, you clean up, too, I guess.

What did you do to your hair?

I can't tell if I love it or I hate it.

Max let me put a little
natural product in there.

It's a combination of
hemp seed and CBD oil.

Yeah, not only does
it give your hair body,

it also makes you
just a little bit high.

We're gonna go get a couple Sprqtinis.

Yeah, which are just regular martinis

made by people with social disorders.

The thing is, Max is funny,
and funny always wins.

All right, lock it in: I'm Team Max.

He is literally here
with a girl he's dating.

- Eh. Mm.
- Unavailable, Mo.

Okay, I know that you need the press,

but can we speed this along?
I have a hard out at 9:30. Hi.

What?

Uh, 9:30? Hi.

I-I thought I had you all... all night.

Huh? No, never agreed to that.

Don't make this into a thing right now.

Come on. Cameras are flashing.

I-I think you might want

to get comfortable in your
suite at the Fairmont,

because I think you're gonna
be there for a long time.

I'm demoing your product in 20 minutes.

You sure you want to do this now?

I should have done this years ago.

Did I just see Charlie leave?

Yeah.

I'm just gonna go out
and make a couple, uh,

short remarks to the media,

tell them we'll release
an online demo next week.

Is that his watch?

Oh, yes.

He handed it to me like
it was his wedding ring.

It's fitting, actually.

Our marriage has always
been more of a business.

Well, you know, you don't really
need Charlie to do the demo.

Who's gonna do it? You?

No, you.

You know this watch better than anyone.

You might be right.

Nice shoes.

You killed it.

This place is packed.

We killed it, somehow.

I still don't know what
happened with Charlie, though.

Should have stuck with Mister Nintendo.

You know, as marketing team leader,

it is your responsibility to...

drop it like it's hot
on this dance floor.

That term hasn't been used
in well over a decade.

It's okay to dance, Simon.

All right.
