The first 200 lines.
If you've been in...
Five million dollars or cancer?
Uh...
...good enough for...
Where are you going?
I, Slater King,
would like to formally apologize
for my behavior.
I have sought therapy,
and I will be taking a leave
of absence from my company while...
Slater King,
thank you for joining us tonight.
Let's get to the question
that everybody is dying for you to answer.
Where have you been since you stepped down
and made your CFO Vic Mahoney CEO of King-Tech?
After everything that happened,
um... I just realized
that sometimes you really do have to just
stop and smell the flowers.
So, uh, I sort of bought an island.
An island?
No phones, no work. We grow our own food.
I wear the same thing every day.
I have chickens.
- Chickens? - Yeah, I have chickens.
Seems like you really are a changed man.
Yeah, I am.
So, last year you started the King-Tech Foundation.
What do you have to say to the critics
who call your recent philanthropy performative?
Look, I'm just trying to do better.
I don't know how else to say that I'm sorry.
'Cause I am sorry.
I really am. I am... I'm sorry.
But I've... I've said those words so many times
that they've lost meaning.
Do you expect people to forgive and forget?
I don't expect anything from anyone.
It's not the reality that we live in.
Hey, dude, you got my lighter?
Oh. Sorry.
Hey, do you have the money?
The super's gonna be here soon.
Right. About that...
- Oh, what did you do? - It's a surprise for you.
- Oh, boy. - I love you.
Wait. Do we have any...
Thanks.
I need a fucking vacation.
Frida. Frida!
Hmm. You're late.
Oh. I'm sorry.
I missed the bus and...
This is the King-Tech gala,
the most important event of the year.
Can we just have a quick talk about your behavior last year?
- It was a little chatty, so... - No.
No, no, no. He talked to me.
He told me he liked my nails.
- That's it. - Anyway...
I just want, this time around,
you to be a little bit more invisible, okay?
Okay.
- Okay? Can you do that? - Yes, I can do that.
Okay. I can.
- And don't forget to smile. - I won't.
I missed my audition
waiting for the super who never showed up.
So we still have black mold
and I guess we're just gonna die now.
Yo, Jess, can I get your lighter?
Yes. But I want it back.
I'm gonna have to write my goddamn name on that thing.
This haircut is so stupid. Do I look like a boy?
A very cute boy.
I heard you sneaking out last night at, like, 3:00 a.m.
Where'd you go?
Heh. What's wrong with you?
- Don't be mad at me. - I'm not mad.
I just can't magically erase shit from my brain.
So, when you get back together,
don't expect me to pretend like I don't want to stab him.
- It's complicated. - It's not.
Stop giving away your power.
You're not a human phone charger.
Just have some self-respect.
I'm sorry.
I love you.
I just don't understand why you keep going back.
I guess I'm just scared of being alone.
Aw. You're not alone. You have me.
Mmm. Yeah.
Don't forget to smile, ladies.
All right.
Okay. Okay, okay, let's get serious, people.
We want to thank you all for being here with us tonight
so that the King Foundation can get on
with the business of doing good
around the world.
I want to give a round of applause
to our host for his boundless generosity.
Ladies and gentlemen,
- the founder of King-Tech... -
Oh, my God! Oh, my God,
- I'm so sorry. - ...Mr. Slater King.
Careful.
You're gonna sprain your neck.
I don't care if I break it.
Ready for your surprise?
Oh, boy.
- Red or blue? - Uh...
This is crazy.
I know, right?
No, it's, like, crazy-crazy.
We just can't really afford to...
Jess, don't do that.
No. Whose time is it?
Our time.
You know what my mom used to say?
- Hmm? - Success is the best revenge.
You think he'll remember me?
Who could forget you?
You know?
- Oh, shit! - You okay?
Sorry. Yeah, I just,
I don't know how to walk in these fucking things.
Okay, do this thing my aunt
- taught me, okay? - Okay.
East, west, east, west.
East, west, east, west.
East, west, east, west. Hello.
East, east. West, east, west, east, west...
Oh, shit. It's Jennifer. Fuck.
Oh, hold up.
I think it's because people like me would touch it.
So it's smarter for them to do that.
I wouldn't want to ruin it.
Ladies, this is a private area.
Could I have you step that way, please?
- Oh, okay. - Yeah, sure.
- Hey, Stan. - Hey, Cody, how are you doin'?
Good. - South, south, south.
Hey, how much you think that little head costs?
Like, a million dollars?
I wonder if that alarm would go off if you stole...
Frida. Frida.
Frida?
Shit.
Are you all right?
Here, may I?
Yeah.
Saw it in a movie once,
and I've always wanted to do it.
Now you're even.
Slater.
Rich! Hey,
the speech turned out great.
Really? Are you sure? I mean...
How did it feel to be...
Ma'am? Ma'am? ...just scared
- to say anything. - Yes?
I know, I know.
I totally understand. Your hand.
I was very proud of you. Listen,
- you've come a long way. - Oh.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Listen, I'm... I'm sorry to interrupt.
No, no. You're not interrupting. This is, um...
Uh, I actually haven't asked your name.
Frida. I'm Frida.
Frida.
Yeah.
Uh, Frida, this is Dr. Rich Stein.
Um, he's... He's actually my therapist.
Oh. He needs one.
I'm just kidding.
Very nice to meet you.
Blink twice if I'm in danger.
Oh, dear. Well, maybe not.
Let's not answer that one, right?
Well, I'll let you get back to it.
It's really nice to meet you.
All right.
Hi.
Hi.
Oh, this is the one here...
Come on.
Oh, my God!
Okay, here we go.
Jess, Frida,
this is my childhood buddy, Cody.
Hey. Cheers, ladies.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
This is Vic, my left and right-hand man.
Nice to meet you.
Hey, what's up, man?
- Heather. Camilla. - Oh!
- How you doin', mami? - Hi. Hi.
