Shep.

Shit.

So I feel like these will probably fit.

Uh, getting tased and pissing my pants

is enough humiliation for one day.

Okay, so no?

So...

You invited me to visit.

Yeah...

years ago.

The eggs in L.A. are really good.

Why are you here?

Well, there's something I want to say.

I've been practicing.

I can't believe you did that.

Hey, I've been messed up since you left Georgia.

Everything just feels wrong.

I've been thinking maybe we could make this work.

I don't know. I'm... I'm sorry.

I'm...

I have to go to work.

Yeah.

But it's like this.

For me, decisions are like poop.

I can't poop at will.

I poop when I poop.

Yeah, exactly.

I poop when I poop.

Right.

Okay, good.

I'll text you.

Hey.

Announcer: This is your time.

Stella: I'm gonna have to watch it again.

I don't see anything wrong.

This is your time.

Why is there no signing in this?

Well, that's what we agreed to on the conference call.

Am I going crazy? It was a whole thing.

No, I talked with Ben. He agreed to sign.

Okay.

Did you ask anybody?

No, I...

Initiative. I took initiative.

So you went rogue.

What were you thinking?

I was thinking about representation.

Oh, yes, okay, great.

Representation is great.

We love representation.

We also love keeping our clients happy.

Look, you are paid to do your job,

so do your job.

Okay? Help his career.

Make him money. Make people want to work with him again.

Understood?

Understood.

Do you really understand what I'm saying?

Yes, I understand.

Okay. Great.

So why don't you take the rest of the day off?

Thank you.

This is your time.

I have to go.

- - Shit.

This is the frog of truth.

Only the person who has the frog of truth can talk.

The other person has to listen,

because listening is much more important than hearing.

So who wants to...

Okay. Here we go.

Um...

this was supposed to be a new beginning for us,

but I feel shame

whenever I try to fix things.

Epp, epp, epp, epp, epp.

You don't have the frog. Gotta...

Yeah, please.

I just don't understand, like, what it is you do all day.

Oh, really?

I'm trying to use my money

to fucking help keep you creative.

I'm helping the creative process.

I just do. I don't...

I don't... That's such an unfair question.

Okay, look.
