Well, fuck you, daddy's boy.
Hey, come on. Don't blow this up.
I got a track record from founding one of the most exciting
new media brands in the world.
And what do you got?
Track marks from shooting junk?
Thanks for coming down. It was great to meet you.
Sorry this isn't going to work out.
No, it's gonna work out.
No, it isn't.
Take care, dude.
- Fuck. What the fuck, Frank? - Uh...
- How can we salvage this? - You still want to pursue this?
Yeah, of course I wanna pursue. I wanna announce.
This is part of the whole thing. This is the secret sauce.
Do we need to sweeten the offer?
You wanna bump the offer another point?
Do you wanna call your dad?
Do I wanna call my dad?
No, I don't wanna call my dad.
Do you wanna call your dad?
- No. - No?
Do you wanna call your dad? Does anybody wanna call their dad?
Okay, nobody wants to talk to their fucking dad.
So, we've started, so let's buy this fucking company.
- I'm pushing the bid to 120, okay? - Okay.
How's it going?
Yeah, I'm, uh, right in the middle, Dad.
Did you close?
Yeah, it's okay.
Um, we're not quite closed.
I'm going to 120.
So that's good.
Uh...
And are we still good for the announcement?
Uh-huh.
Great, 'cause obviously I'm soft-floating to like, Frank and Rava,
and there's gossip getting soft-floated.
By who?
Uh, by the ether, I don't know.
Hey. Hey, happy birthday, you old geezer.
Look, it's exciting. This is gonna be great for you, Dad.

- Greg? Hi, Mom.
How... Are you okay? How's it going?
Mom, sorry, but I sort of screwed up.
Well, like, not me, actually, but this kid.
- Greg. - This kid smoked a joint in my car.
A kid?
Like, this hitchhiker kid
that I picked up this morning. Like earlier this morning.
'Cause it was raining and I didn't want to, um...
I didn't want him to get sexually assaulted?
- Greg. - Before I could even say anything...
- What the fuck? - Aggressively takes out, uh...
Have you ever seen, like, so, a doobie?
And, um, the car smelled like skunk weed.
And then, I guess, I smelled like it.
And then, they were just, like, "Get all your stuff and go."
Greg, did you even think for one second
to tell them who you are?
No, I thought... I didn't wanna be an asshole or get into it all.
- Okay, here's what you're gonna do. - I don't know.
You're gonna get a plane ticket to New York.
It's your uncle... Your great-uncle Logan's birthday,
and they're having a big party.
I'll call Marcia and tell her you're coming.
- It's his birthday? - You're gonna go to the party.
You're gonna get him a nice gift.
And you're gonna look nice.
In a grown-up shirt and a grown-up blazer.
A blazer?
I'll let you know.
Uh, they're not gonna budge unless it gets to be a stupid number.
- What's a stupid number? - Stupid. A badillion, I don't know.
Because 120 is stupid. Am I wrong? 120 is a stupid number.
But it's not really a money thing right now.
Mr. Roy, someone's here to see you.
Okay. Who's this?
- Hi, Kendall Roy? - Yeah, hi.
I was sent by Roman to burn some sage.
Excuse me?
It's auspicious. I'm a business alchemist.
It's a gift, from your brother.
- Will it set off the smoke alarms? - Not usually.
- "Not usually"? - Well, that hasn't...
Hey, hey, motherfuckers!
Roman.
My guy? Are you saging?
Well, we're concerned about the alarms.
- Ooh, right, yeah, the bad juju. - Now, I can use essential oils.
Oh, I think just fuck off, thanks.
