Euphoria

Throughout the history of America,

there have been windows of time where anyone could strike it rich.

Take the gold rush.

Prohibition.

Cryptocurrency.

It's all about timing.

And Jules had found her window of opportunity.

It's like dating, except you get paid.

How much?

Depends on how rich they are.

But then, they expect you to fuck them.

Yeah, but no more than any other guy.

It all started back in art school with her roommate, Vivian.

Hold out for as long as possible

till the money's right.

I don't know. It sounds sketchy.

Yeah.

Well, the good thing about rich people is they actually have something to lose.

Money.

Besides, it beats working retail.

Anything's better than retail.

Jules' first date

was with a 48-year-old lawyer named Rick.

I don't normally do this kind of thing, you know, so.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

But my therapist says that I have severe intimacy issues.

It's not funny. I've never had a girlfriend.

Never?

I don't know, I find sleeping next to a woman

makes me claustrophobic.

So, look.

That's for dinner.

But if you want to

come back to my place after this, I could be way more generous.

He had a very specific fetish.

Nylons.

All he wanted was to lick her tights and jerk off.

Oh, you love it. I know you love it.

I love it.

All I have to do is see this guy twice a month,

and he pays my rent?

Told you.

Oh, I'm gonna clean up.

There was Randy, a Hollywood producer who had a net worth of 50 million.

Closer to 200 million. Can't publicly list it.

Don't wanna get fucked up the ass by the IRS.

There was Henry, a run-of-the-mill finance guy.

I know the volatility in the market has spooked our clients.

We've been doing this a long time, and this is not our first

rodeo.

Mm-hmm.

And then, there was Ellis.

A plastic surgeon.

I do what God didn't.

Same with you.

- That's one way to put it. - Well, is there another?

We defy the natural order of things.

Age. Gravity.

- Sex. - Exactly.

No fun to be helpless.

Mm-hmm, and to not evolve.

When did you transition?

Fourteen.

That's why you're poreless. Never went through puberty.

It's beautiful.

Your breasts are natural?

For now.

What would you change about 'em?

I don't know, you're the expert.

From here, they look near perfect.

Near perfect?

Anything can be improved.

You have a family?

I do.

Sorry if I...

What?

Made you uncomfortable?

Oh, I...

I slice women open for a living.

There's very little that makes me uncomfortable.

Does your wife know you do this?

Go on dates?

Fuck trannies?

Dessert?

- Thank you. - Bon appetit.

You first.

Is it good?

Delicious.

My wife knows I have certain proclivities.

Behaviors.

Behaviors?

Weaknesses.

And she's okay with it?

You marry the best parts of a person. Hopefully, you can tolerate the worst.

That sounds sad.

It isn't.

Do your parents know what you do?

Go on dates?

Sell yourself?

Definitely not.

What do they think you do?

Go to art school, paint.

Live off $750 a month.

- That seems difficult. - It is.

Are you good?

At what?

Painting.

Yeah, I think so. Yeah.

What did you think I was asking?

Dad, no, I'm okay. Everything's fine.

I'm just saying, I don't think

I need to go to art school to be an artist.

It's like a waste of time.

I make money hostessing.

Literally, all Viv and I do all day

is she's sculpting and I'm painting.

And I feel like I'm, like, learning more

from just being in my space and working on that

than like anything that they're teaching me in class.

She was making more money than she ever imagined.

And eventually, he became the only client she saw.

All her fears about making it as an artist disappeared.

I just might keep you forever.

Yours truly was working her way up.

First up, we got our G19.

It's affordable, dependable, with a smooth black finish.

It's the go-to gun for the everyday man. No muss, no fuss.

It's light as a feather.

Now, next, from our submachine gun line,

we have the APC.

Now, it's got a four-and-a-half-inch barrel,

fully deploy able stock, and it's perfect for concealment,

whether under a trench coat or maybe for the missus' sundress.

It's affectionately known as the spray-and-pray.

That's right, it's got a cyclical rate of about 1,000 rounds per minute,

so you're gonna wanna hold on tight.

Ten of those.

Ah.

See, I knew you'd say that. But before you make any decisions,

let me just introduce you to my personal favorite.

Now, this is for those who wanna intimidate with style.

Okay, this

is the AR-15.

I know a lot of Americans have very strong feelings about guns.

But if it's any consolation,

the majority of the weapons I was selling

were headed to Mexico.

Pleasure doing business with you, hombre.

At least Alamo appreciated me.

There she is.

My employee of the month.

You know, you said I'd get 3% commission, so.

You see, now I like that.

That's that ambition right there. You keep it up, young buck.

Hey, you know, I'm trying to work my way up and go legit.

Legit?

Yeah.

So, you don't think what you're doing is legit?

I mean, do you think what we're doing is legit?

Legit's a funny word.

What does it even mean?

I mean, I think it just means legal, right?

Hm.

You know history?

Not particularly.

Take the numbers racket. The people used to run that

out of clubs just like this,

till the government came in and shut it down.

Said it was illegal. Sent niggas to prison.

But did that make it go away?

- Did it? - Hell, no.

They just made it bigger. Mm, took it over for themselves.

Can't set foot in a gas station or a corner store without seeing lotto,

- lotto, lotto. - Lotto. Yeah.

Whole motherfucking lot of lotto, right?

What's that tell you?

I don't really know.

What was once illegal

is now legit.

- Yeah. - That's what I was gonna say.

Question is

where's all that money go?

They say it funds the education system.

That what they say?

Yeah.

And these kids are just getting dumber and dumber.

Something ain't adding up.

- You know? - I know that's right.

That's what I'm saying.

Do you have a moral problem with what you're doing?

What? No, I'm cool. I'm, like, cool.

- You sure? - Yeah.

Let me tell you something, young blood.

Hm.

Come here.

The only thing that matters is power.

And how do you get power?

Money?

Bingo. And what are you doing?

Making money. Okay.
