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.
Hold on.
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...
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.
