Casual

‐ Previously, on "Casual"...

‐ Got an interview. ‐ Ooh.

‐ Some new company

in digital branding.

And, as Chief Technology Officer, I would, what?

Head up the development team? ‐ The CTO is more of, um,

an IT professional. ‐ Yeah.

‐ You want me to be the guy who tells you

how to restart your computer?

‐ Hey, there.

Got a minute to stick it to the oligarchy?

‐ You don't think maybe the people

backing this initiative have a less than

philanthropic agenda?

‐ The Clean Renewables Institute?

It's a group of rich old men who want to sell natural gas.

It's a group of rich old men who want to sell natural gas.

‐ I'm always looking for interns.

‐ Hi. ‐ Hi.

‐ Jack Briggs.

He can sustain a relationship about as long

as he could probably hold a boom box over his head.

I just don't wanna see you get hurt.

Do you find me attractive? ‐ I do.

‐ Do you think you can have sex with someone

you find attractive, no strings attached?

‐ Hey, could you pass the milk? ‐ Yeah.

All right.

All right.

Did you know you have three cartons of eggs,

and the oldest carton is, like, four months old,

and there's only one egg in it?

‐ Eggs don't spoil.

So do I ask why you're in costume,

or do you just tell me?

Yeah, it's my alter ego, Tybalt, a medieval

Scandinavian sorcerer.

‐ Right. ‐

‐ Of course. ‐.

Oh, wait, shit, it's your first day.

‐ Yep. ‐ Are you nervous?

I'd be nervous. ‐ Nervous? No.

I'm so fucking nervous.

I haven't been a wage slave since my 20s.

I haven't been a wage slave since my 20s.

Do you think they'll haze me?

‐ No, I'm sure they'll just stick to

pre‐formed social groups and subtly isolate you.

‐ Thank you, that's helpful.

‐ Yeah. ‐ What do we have here?

"The Gathering."

Bunch of friends are coming over to play cards.

‐ And you wear costumes for this game?

‐ No, I just love costumes. Bah!

Oh, will you grab that?

‐ Tybalt here?

Aha!

‐ Good morning.

‐ Leon, you're not gonna believe this,

but I need your help.

‐ What seems to be the problem?

You sounds weird. Why do you sound weird?

Are you happy?

‐ Of course not.

‐ Oh, okay, do you think you could watch my house

for the day? ‐ Why?

Rae is hosting a costume party.

There are multiple strangers with foam weaponry

tramping around my living room.

Fireball, fireball,

fireball, fireball!

They're chanting.

‐ Mm.

‐ Here, that still needs to be canvassed.

So I'm going to have you do this.

And Jim made copies of all the names,

and then we'll just...

‐ Laura?

Casey warned us.

Said she poached you from the bowels.

Said she poached you from the bowels

of corporate corruption?

‐ Yeah, cut the golden parachute

right off my back.

‐ Well, come on. I'll show you around.

‐ No, that can't work. Hey.

‐ Hi. ‐ Welcome.

‐ She's been working the phones since 6:00.

It's unclear whether she eats or sleeps or just absorbs energy

from the lies of elected officials.

I'm Todd, by the way. Everyone calls me Harvard.

‐ You call yourself Harvard. ‐ All right, Katrina.

All right, Laura, field team. Field team, Laura.

All right, Laura, field team. Field team, Laura.

‐ Hey. ‐ Hi.

‐ So how much did Casey tell you?

‐ Not much, but I'm a quick study.

‐ Cool, we're canvassing on West Adams.

There's a big community meeting tonight.

‐ Signatures?

‐ What? ‐ Nothing. Let's do it.

‐ I've given up beer and liquor and caffeine for this baby.

I'm not giving up Equinox.

‐ You really want to die on this sword?

This is where you're gonna take a stand?

‐ Alyssa, I think we‐‐ ‐ What stand?

Exercise is a basic human right.

Exercise is a basic human right.

‐ He's not taking any of this seriously.

It's like I'm just this overactive,

hormonal baby capsule that hasn't had sex in 12 days.

‐ Maybe if I got to work out, I'd feel better about myself.

‐ Oh. ‐ And then, by extension,

be more likely to have sex with you.

‐ Fine, go to fucking Equinox.

‐ What was that howling?

‐ Are you fucking a barista named Theo?

‐ His name is Theo?

‐ Mm‐hmm, and his girlfriend is not happy about it.

‐ Mm‐hmm, and his girlfriend is not happy about it.

‐ Girlfriend?

Ah, shit.

‐ She seemed like a real nut case.

I thought I was gonna have to take my rings off

and thrown down, but she took off

before shit got real.

‐ Uh, have you ever actually been in a real fistfight?

‐ Multiple, I am 25% white trash on my father's side.

‐ Jesus, Leia.

‐ Hey, is everything okay? I heard some screaming in here.

‐ Oh, yeah, Val just has a lady stalker.

‐ Yeah, apparently I'm fucking her boyfriend.

‐ Yeah, apparently I'm fucking her boyfriend.

‐ Whoa, clearly we have some catching up to do.

‐ Do you want to get a drink later?

‐ Hell yeah, I do.

‐ Great. ‐ I'm done at 5:30, okay?

‐ Okay. ‐ I love those boots.

‐ Thank you.

‐ She loves the boots.

‐ You're doing a noble thing.

Your pen is mighty, sir.

‐ We'll see you at 7:00.

‐ Yeah, 0%. ‐ 0%?

40%....35%?

‐ That guy would've signed up for ballet class

if it got us off his stoop.

‐ ‐ There's no way he shows.

‐ Erin Brockovich over here.

‐ You can't force people to care.

‐ About the environment?

‐ No, most things. Definitely not the environment.

I'm killing your philanthropy buzz,

aren't I? ‐ Oh, come on,

we're on a signature beat. My buzz is real weak.

‐ Well, look at it like this‐‐ it's something

for your college apps. ‐ If I even want

to go to college.

To go to college.

‐ Ooh, rebel, rebel.

‐ Yep, I've even got a bad tattoo.

‐ I love a bad tattoo.

All right 2267 is next.

‐ How many more of these do we have?

‐ 81.

‐ Sigh, heavy sigh.

‐ Saya, call Nat about L'Oreal.

She's contracted with them before.

She can get you the numbers.

Oh, and Beckett, I need to see the Chance deal

before it's signed off.

‐ Oh, oh, my God, perfect.

Everyone, meet Alex Cole, new CTO.

Everyone, meet Alex Cole, new CTO.

‐ Hello. ‐ Let's give him a warm welcome.

‐ Thank you, thank you, glad to be a part of the team.

‐ Well, you have big shoes to fill, but I have faith.

‐ Our last IT guy, Erik, was like family to us.

It's been hard.

‐ Oh, no, I'm so sorry. Did he die?

‐ He went to Google.

‐ Ah. ‐ He's doing really great.

He's leading a team of 12, and he's really, really happy.

He's leading a team of 12, and he's really, really happy

and fulfilled. ‐ Aww.

‐ Cool. ‐ And he sent cookies.

‐ Oh, he is so sweet. ‐ Erik.

‐ There's a gluten‐free, dairy‐free one for you.

Erik wasn't sure if you had any dietary restrictions.

‐ Wow, how considerate.

‐ Anyway, um, if you don't mind hitting the ground running,

Saya, you're having issues with your computer, yeah?

‐ It's got that spin‐y wheel of death,

and I can't get online.

‐ Right, this is probably a minimum speed issue,

and I will go take a look.

Okay, let's try something else.

Okay, let's try something else.

Oh, wow, that's pretty.

Is that Hawaii?
