Episodes

I love your show.

I love it. Seriously,

I want to have sex with your show.

You know what my fantasy is?

I wake up tomorrow

and I've got your show on my network.

What, us come to L.A.?

How hard can it be? You've already written the scripts.

It's perfect the way it is.

You work 20 minutes a day,

the rest of the time,

you can screw in the pool.

You hear that? We'd get a pool.

Let's talk about casting.

Well, we already have Julian

committed to recreate the role of Lyman.

So, that's half the battle right there.

Merc loves the show, Julian is the show.

There is a chance

Merc may not have actually seen your show.

What? I'm not saying that he hasn't seen it.

Has he seen it? No.

We just found out

that there is an actor available...

huge star...

and he's ready to come back to TV.

Really? Who?

Matt Leblanc.

Matt Leblanc?

Right.

Matt Leblanc...

To play Lyman?

Well...I said it's a different way to go.

For the erudite,

verbally dexterous headmaster

of an elite boys' academy,

you're suggesting...

Joey?

Look, he's probably wrong for it.

Probably?

He is very funny. He really is.

I even liked him in that monkey movie.

What monkey movie?

Please, just take the meeting...

as a courtesy.

For Merc. He really wants to get Matt

over here to the network,

and so far, this is the only project

he's interested in doing.

Matt Leblanc wants to do our show?

Are you kidding?

Dying to.

He saw it when he was in England, shooting a movie.

Huge fan.

Really? So what?

So? Can I tell Merc you'll take the meeting?

It's one lunch... you know, as a courtesy.

Yeah, fine, fine. We'll... we'll take the meeting.

Awesome. Also...

Merc wanted me to pass on a little invitation.

He's having a dinner party

at his house on Saturday night,

and he'd love you guys to come.

As a courtesy.

Andy: It's a very big deal.

I've never been to his house.

I've driven past it.

Sean: Please tell Merc we would love to come.

We can't wait.

Aww. Kisses to you, too.

You're kidding. What?

What? She almost tripped over your tongue.

You really like that?

Yes.

They're so obviously fake. Yes?

That doesn't bother you?

She's not hurting anybody.

I think it's under "Lincoln".

They're asking if we have the financing?

Screw that. Tell them we're looking at another location,

and if we're not closed by the end of today,

the whole thing is off the table.

Bye. Sorry.

I'm trying to buy a restaurant.

I'm Beverly. This is Sean. Hey.

So...I'm here why?

Er, well, to talk about our show.

What show?

Brilliant.

Did... did you recently shoot a movie in England?

No.

So, you're not a huge fan?

Of England? Ehh...

No, no. Of us.

Oh, you? No.

Oh.

Well, this isn't at all awkward.

Let me ask you something.

Would you go to a restaurant

where you roll your own sushi?

Absolutely not.

See, that's what I'm afraid of.

Oh. One sec.

You won't believe this.

Now they're trying to add an extra charge

for the kitchen equipment.

"Well, they can go...

"Fuck...

"Themselves."

This is so cool. I just type in "f-u",

and it knows I mean "fuck".

Science...

The gifts you've given us.

So, you guys have some sort of show?

Yes, it's a comedy. It's been on in the u. K. For four years.

That explains the accents.

Go on.

Do you want to finish that before we...

No, no, I'm with you. You're English,

you have some sort of show.

Well, yeah. It's about a headmaster

of an elite prep school...

And his relationship with the students

and the various teachers.

So, it's History Boys.

What?

History Boys.

You've seen History Boys.

The Alan Bennett play... Yeah.

Our show is nothing like History Boys.

Theirs was set in a grammar school.

Ours takes place at a boarding school.

Theirs was about a history teacher.

Ours is about a headmaster and several other teachers.

Ok, ok. So, it's History Boys meets...

You saying it's not History Boys.

It's not History Boys. All right.

I take it back. It's not History Boys.

What's it called?

Lyman's boys. Ah.

We had the name first.

And so, what... you want me for the old fat guy's part? Thanks.

We don't want you. Again, thanks.

What she means is, um...

The network suggested you.

It would never have occurred to us.

It's such a different way to go.

But we are...

Huge admirers...

Yo.

No, that was supposed to say "fuck".

Why would I say, "go fun yourself"?

No.

No.

No.

No, no, no, no.

No.

No. No.

N-o. No.

No-o-o.

No.

Yo.

They loved you. Who?

The British people.

They loved me?

Carol Rance just called from the network.

She said they loved you and they want you.

Huh. That's good.

It's very good.

I don't know. What?

I don't know that I love them.

Well, maybe you can learn to love them.

Merc Lapidus really wants this to happen.

They got a money truck ready to drive up to your house.

How big a truck?

Oh, it's a big truck. Lots of wheels.

Are we talking, like, new restaurant money?

We're talking chain of restaurants money.

Nice truck.

But have you heard the part?

This fat old headmaster of some private school?

So, they'll change the part.

They'll make it something else.

Whatever you want.

Come on, it's the Matt Leblanc show.

Tell me more about the money truck.

It's a truck... And it's full of money!

Right up to the house?

You won't even have to go to the mailbox.

Wallace, you know us.

We go through this every day.

How can you not remember?

We waved to you when we left this morning.

Everybody waves.

Name? Lincoln.

Lincoln. Lincoln. With an "l".

Like the car, the tunnel in New York,

your dead president.

I'll check.

Hello?
