Your Friends & Neighbors

What's all this?

Oh, I'm just trying to earn my keep.

Think you already did that.

Oh. Come here, beautiful.

Let's go.

Oh. Hang on, Tor. I made you a plate.

Don't call me Tor, Nicky.

- Hey. - My bad.

Tori.

But look, you're an athlete. You need to up your protein to build more muscle.

...8 grams per pound.

This right here is the breakfast of champions.

That's not breakfast.

It's a metaphor.

Phil, I understand the overages, okay.

But how the fuck is landscaping costing me another 60 grand?

Your wife asked us to level the back and add some trees.

- It'll give you lots of shade. - Grace.

- Grace! - Kind of busy here, babe.

Can we cancel the trees?

- Hey, Phil! - Truck's already here.

- Truck's already here. - Phil.

- Yeah? - They need you on the rig.

Hey, you know there's a ton of trees out there, right?

Yeah, they'll give us a lot of shade.

Hey. Hey, hey. About these trees...

Yeah, we need the shade.

- But do we? - Sorry, we're running late.

- Okay. Have a great day. - Bye. I... Bye, girls. Bye.

- Come on. Let's go. - Bye. Bye.

- Hey, Coop. - Hey. Bye.

You walk or drive?

I walked. You told me to walk.

Right. We're taking my car.

Come on.

Okay.

Jesus, Barney. Is that the Spectre?

- - Special edition. All electric.

Grace bought it for me a few weeks ago.

A birthday gift.

- Well, that was nice of her. - Oh, no, no, no.

It's brinksmanship.

See, I can't come down on her about her spending

if I'm driving a fucking Rolls.

Oh, come on. You love it.

It is a hell of a car.

It is so choice.

I'm driving.

Sure.

What the fuck?

- -

So where are we going anyway?

We are going to see a lawyer.

Barney, I can't sue Bailey Russell. They'll squash me like a bug.

I... I'm sorry. I should have been more clear.

We are going to see Rick Massiello.

You got an appointment with Massey? How'd you get an appointment with Massey?

It doesn't matter.

Point is, as soon as Bailey hears his name, they'll settle.

The last thing Jack wants

is Massey putting on a big show and rattling his investors.

He will be expensive.

- - Well, he'll do it on contingency.

- He told you that? - Not as such, but you'll convince him.

- He's gonna take half. - Probably.

But that other half is a lot more than you have now.

You have bills to pay, my friend. Starting with mine.

- - Nick Brandes.

Nick! Hey.

What's good, Barney?

Just checking in on that "refi" for the gym.

Dobbs is saying we can fund the next two locations

without liquidating any of my market positions.

Yeah. Hey, sorry, Nick.

I'm in the car with Coop.

- I'm on speaker? - Yeah.

Uh, hey. What's up, Coop?

You guys know the women have that self-defense thing tonight?

- Is that tonight? - That's what I'm told.

We're all bachelors tonight, fellas.

So I'm gonna get some meat and booze and have everyone over to hang.

- You guys in? - Sounds good.

Yes, sir. What about you, Coop?

Hard pass, Nick.

Yeah. Well, uh, the invitation stands if you change your mind.

Yeah, I won't. But thanks.

Well, I'm gonna hang up before this gets awkward.

- See you tonight, Nick. - All right, Barney.

Uh, hit me back about the "refi."

- - What?

What happened to team Coop?

You told me there are no teams.

But if there were, obviously I'm on yours.

- Fuck Nick. - But you'll go over to his house.

The man throws a good party.

You should go.

You shouldn't.

Well, as of a few days ago Nick is my biggest client,

- so my hands are tied. -

Wow.

Shame if something happened to this car.

Do not even joke about that.

You can't win.

I just gotta say that up front.

You're a smart guy, Coop. You know you can't go the distance with these guys.

Well, thanks for your time.

Good news is you don't have to win.

You just gotta get past summary judgment

at which point Bailey will start making offers.

Then it becomes a negotiation.

And I'm a great fucking negotiator.

Will you do it on contingency?

No.

I gotta charge you full freight on this one, pal.

Retainer's 200K. This-This could take a while.

What's a while? Three months? Six months?

Hmm. Two, three years.

- Jesus. - Yeah. Southern District.

It is what it is.

Sure you got the money for this fight?

He does.

All right. Look, I, uh... I gotta get back to court.

Enjoy your coffee. On me, huh?

So you're taking the case?

Uh, well, I'm gonna mull it over.

Check the schedule.

I'll be in touch, okay?

- Two to three years? - He's managing expectations.

I can't afford him.

Look, pay the retainer and just watch the dominoes start to fall.

You are being uncharacteristically optimistic.

You've seen what's happening at my house.

Optimism is the only option.

Come on.

Let's go get some real coffee.

- You're buying. -

You got carpet moths.

- Carpet moths? - Yeah.

They lay their eggs in your rugs.

I found larvae in pretty much every room here.

Jesus.

It's a good thing you called me when you did

otherwise you'd have colonies here.

- Can you get rid of them? - Yeah.

It'll take a few treatments, maybe three over the next month.

It'll cost you $9,000.

- $9000? - Yeah.

Ten-five if you wanna go with the nontoxic chemicals.

And I'll have to take that wall in the back of your closet down.

And that one, at a minimum.

- Are you serious? - Yeah.

Look, they're in there and they're spreading.

First generation, best I can tell, but if you don't get rid of them now,

you're gonna have colonies behind every wall in here.

And you'll never get rid of them.

When can you start?

I can have a crew here in a couple of days.

- Thanks for the ride, Barney. - My pleasure.

Hey!

Coop.

Come to Nick's tonight.

Come on. You could stand to have a little fun.

It's been over a year. Maybe it's time to let this one go.

He slept with my wife.

That's true, but it's-it's a little reductive, isn't it?

Look, I'm not saying Nick didn't fuck up.

He fucked up. She fucked up.

But maybe... maybe you fucked up too, right?

A little bit?

Marriages are complicated.

So you're saying it's my fault?

I'm saying it doesn't matter whose fault it is.

We're all gonna be here for the foreseeable future.

Do yourself a favor and get over it.

Would you?

I would pretend to.

Well, I got my kids tonight, so...

Okay. Fair enough.

I'll see you later, Barney.

See you, Coop.

Oh, my God. She's so sweet.

Esti? She's a little demon.

She looks like an angel.

That's how she gets you.

She's an evil genius.

Oh! Hey, Andy. Uh, your friend is here.

Hello, Coop.

What are you doing here?

I was in the neighborhood.

- In this neighborhood? - Figured I'd stop by.

See if you still wanted to do business.

Hmm.

Well, I am going to hit the shower and leave you to your business.

It was so nice to meet you, Lu.

You too, Ali.

- - Break a leg tonight.

Thank you.

Nice girl, your sister.

What are you doing in my house?

I came for the watch.
