This programme contains strong language. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:09 | |
You don't have to audition. No shit! You just have to go in and meet. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
And I don't have to read? And you don't have to read. All right. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
I'm thinking it's time to stop taking the meds. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
It would be a huge mistake to stop now. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
I cannot stress this enough. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
Aah! | 0:00:24 | 0:00:25 | |
This script isn't going to you. It isn't going to FOX. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:29 | |
The only place it's going is in our suitcase home. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
OK! | 0:00:32 | 0:00:33 | |
You don't pursue it behind our backs. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
It's over. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:37 | |
Oh, my God. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
This one found a winner. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:40 | |
I read it last night. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
I don't want to even shoot a pilot. I want to go straight to series. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
How soon can they start? | 0:00:45 | 0:00:46 | |
CAROL: Hey, kids! | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
Hello. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:39 | |
This is a nice surprise. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
So, this is where the magic happens. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
Happened. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:45 | |
SHE LAUGHS Right. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
Apparently, nobody wanted to see our tricks. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
Anyway, while I've got you... | 0:01:50 | 0:01:54 | |
and don't bite my head off... | 0:01:54 | 0:01:55 | |
This better not be going where I think it's going. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
I just want to have a conversation. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
Right! | 0:02:00 | 0:02:01 | |
And what happened to the conversation | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
where we agreed we would never, ever have this conversation? | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
That was before Castor saw your script. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:10 | |
Oh. He "saw" it! | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
HIGH-PITCHED: I swear! I didn't show it to him! | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
That's the octave you usually lie in. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
NORMALLY: Honest. He was snooping around my desk. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:21 | |
He saw it and read it, and...hello! | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
He loved it. Really? | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
Loved it. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
Of all the things I've shown him, | 0:02:28 | 0:02:29 | |
it's the only one he wants to do. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
So you did show it to him. Oh, so what?! | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
I had to! | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
My job is on the line! | 0:02:37 | 0:02:38 | |
He hates everything. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
Your thing? | 0:02:40 | 0:02:41 | |
He doesn't even want to shoot a pilot. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
He wants to go straight to series. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
I like the sound of that. I don't. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
That just means we get to skip limbo and go straight to hell. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
OK. How about this? | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
What if we just buy the show from you? | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
We'll hire someone else to run it. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
You won't even have to be here. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
No. No, no. It's our show. | 0:02:58 | 0:02:59 | |
If anyone's going to run it, it'll be us. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
Well, you know I'd love that. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
Forget it! | 0:03:03 | 0:03:04 | |
We're going home. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
To do what? | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
What are you going to do when you get there? | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
Try to get another show on? | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
And even if you do, you'll make, what, six episodes | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
of something no-one will ever see? | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
Well, England. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
Exactly. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:20 | |
So, are just supposed | 0:03:20 | 0:03:21 | |
to ignore the disaster of the last 10 months? | 0:03:21 | 0:03:27 | |
I am not going back into the burning building. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
I don't care. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
Let the fucking cat die. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
Where are you? | 0:03:44 | 0:03:45 | |
I don't know. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
Maybe it could be different with a different show. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
Mm... | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
I think it's like tossing those rings at the funfair. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
Each time, you're so sure you'll get it. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
Right. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:05 | |
But, believe me, | 0:04:05 | 0:04:06 | |
you're not going to walk away with a stuffed giraffe here. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:11 | |
You just have to walk away. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
I want a giraffe. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:17 | |
SHE CHUCKLES | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
I know you do. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:22 | |
And in this town, if you can win a giraffe... | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
Right, but... SHE SIGHS | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
..this town... | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
It's no good for us. It nearly did us in. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
That is true. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
We've worked so hard to get back to a good place. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:43 | |
And it's a very good place. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:47 | |
We do so much better at home. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
I agree. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:02 | |
Thank you. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:05 | |
Mmm! | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
Is that a giraffe? | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
It just may be. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
I've been trying to get you. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
Oh, shoot. My phone was off. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:28 | |
Why? | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
I was getting waxed. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
If it rings, it startles her, and then...blgggh! | 0:05:32 | 0:05:35 | |
What's going on? Castor called a big meeting. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:37 | |
For when? 20 minutes ago. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:38 | |
What?! It was totally last minute. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
Everyone's in there, even Elliot. Elliot's here?! | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
Mm-hmm. Jesus Christ! | 0:05:42 | 0:05:45 | |
But it's not just us. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:46 | |
All network TV is... | 0:05:46 | 0:05:50 | |
CHUCKLES SOFTLY (So sorry. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
(I didn't know. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:55 | |
(Keep going.) | 0:05:55 | 0:05:56 | |
LOUD THUD | 0:06:09 | 0:06:11 | |
Where was I? | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
Uh, "All network TV is..." | 0:06:15 | 0:06:16 | |
Right. Dying. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
Network TV is dying. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:23 | |
Every year, our ratings get lower. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:27 | |
Cable is killing us. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:28 | |
The internet is killing us. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
We're cancelling shows at an unprecedented rate. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
And what do we do? | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
We sit around with our heads up our asses | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
saying, "I don't smell anything. Do you?" | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
We put out a product that's predictable and stale, | 0:06:41 | 0:06:45 | |
and we wonder why no-one's watching. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:47 | |
So now that you've depressed the shit out of us, what would you do? | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
OK. We need to look at the big picture. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
We need to make bold moves, change the paradigm. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:57 | |
What's the hottest thing right now? | 0:06:58 | 0:06:59 | |
Kardashians. Zombies! | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
Close. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:03 | |
Why are we so obsessed with zombies? | 0:07:03 | 0:07:05 | |
They're scary. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:06 | |
Right! Why? | 0:07:06 | 0:07:08 | |
Cos they're zombies? They're scary cos they're unpredictable! | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
Yes! You never know when they're going to attack. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
That's what I want. You want to do a zombie show? | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
You know, there are actually | 0:07:16 | 0:07:17 | |
a couple of really strong zombie scripts. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
No! Christ! I'm not saying we do zombies. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:24 | |
I'm saying...we BECOME zombies. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:28 | |
All righty! SHE CHUCKLES | 0:07:29 | 0:07:30 | |
We need to be unexpected, startling, dangerous! | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
And how do you propose we do that? | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
All right. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:37 | |
Start by throwing away...the "when." | 0:07:37 | 0:07:41 | |
"When's the show on?" Doesn't matter. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
We're living in a world where your TV | 0:07:45 | 0:07:46 | |
is becoming your computer is becoming your iPad | 0:07:46 | 0:07:49 | |
is becoming your phone. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:50 | |
When the show's on is irrelevant. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
You don't go, "When's that YouTube video on?" | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
It's just on. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
So, forget the when. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
Forget "nights" and "time slots" | 0:08:00 | 0:08:04 | |
and "lead-ins." | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
So, how are people supposed to know when... | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
Forget the when! | 0:08:09 | 0:08:10 | |
GIGGLES NERVOUSLY What... what when? | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
What I mean is, how will they know what's on? | 0:08:12 | 0:08:18 | |
They won't. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
That's the beauty! | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
We've got to escape the tyranny of the schedule. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:26 | |
Get rid of all of it! | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
GRUNTING | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
Jesus. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:37 | |
Didn't see that coming. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
From now on, we programme anything at any time. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:42 | |
Comedy, drama, reality... mix it the fuck up. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
Maybe one night, four hours all about bees! | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
Bees? Bees! | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
The next day, people are all, "Did you see | 0:08:50 | 0:08:51 | |
"that fucking thing about the bees?" The sheer balls of it! | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
Uh, help me out here. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:55 | |
What are the bees doing? | 0:08:55 | 0:08:57 | |
Are they funny bees? | 0:08:57 | 0:08:59 | |
Are they killer bees? | 0:08:59 | 0:09:00 | |
Do they have a talent? I don't know. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
Who gives a shit? They're bees. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:04 | |
They'll do whatever bees do. The point is, | 0:09:04 | 0:09:06 | |
people tune in to find out what the hell we're doing next. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
It's total water cooler. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
Oh! And everything's live. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:13 | |
The bees are live? Maybe! How fucking great would that be?! | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
SHE WHIMPERS People, we got to throw away the rules. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
Like, who says one show has to end | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
before another one can start? | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
How do you... Wait. What now? | 0:09:23 | 0:09:24 | |
OK, say you're in the middle of some cooking show. This woman's cooking, | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
and all of a sudden, the bad guy from a drama | 0:09:27 | 0:09:29 | |
runs in with a fucking gun and holds her fucking hostage! | 0:09:29 | 0:09:32 | |
Meanwhile, she has no idea what the fuck is happening! | 0:09:32 | 0:09:35 | |
The woman from the cooking show doesn't know? | 0:09:35 | 0:09:37 | |
Right! "Aah! What the fuck is happening?!" | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
And people are tweeting, "You got to watch this! Turn it on! Turn it on!" | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
Then, one of the cops from the drama runs in and shoots him... | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |
I mean, actually shoots him. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:46 | |
We're shooting one of our actors? | 0:09:46 | 0:09:48 | |
So we'll pay him more. There are actors who will do it. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
So we shoot him, then the police run in... | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
the real police...and it's news. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
Then we cut to our news guy. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
That's when our news show starts. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
We make the news, then we report the news, | 0:09:58 | 0:10:02 | |
and no-one will report it before us | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
because we're the only ones who know what's happening. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
It's TV for a new century. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
And that's why they're going to watch us and not the other guys. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:12 | |
How about that, my zombies?! | 0:10:14 | 0:10:16 | |
BREATHING HEAVILY | 0:10:16 | 0:10:19 | |
So he was crazy. Yeah. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
Hey, Matt. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
Berta Nissick. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:43 | |
Hi. Nice to meet you. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:44 | |
Actually, we've met before. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:46 | |
I was the junior junior casting person on Married With Children. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
Oh, wow. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
Oh, you probably don't remember, but you hit on me at the wrap party. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
SHE CHUCKLES | 0:10:54 | 0:10:55 | |
OK. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
So, this should be fun. I'm going to read with you. | 0:10:57 | 0:10:59 | |
So if there's anything you want me to do or don't want me to do... | 0:10:59 | 0:11:03 | |
Wait. What? What? | 0:11:03 | 0:11:04 | |
Uh...I'm not reading. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
What? | 0:11:06 | 0:11:07 | |
No, my agent spoke to someone, | 0:11:07 | 0:11:09 | |
and it was absolutely understood that it's just a meeting. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |
Ah. Um... | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
Well, that's not the information we got. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
Andrew and the execs are in there, waiting for you to read. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:22 | |
Well, that's not happening. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:24 | |
OK. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:26 | |
Um, just give me a sec. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | |
SHE CLICKS TONGUE Yeah, whatever. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:29 | |
Yeah, I'm calling my agent. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
Good. Good, good, good. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
Yeah... | 0:11:33 | 0:11:34 | |
Hey, it's Matt LeBlanc. Is he there? | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
Can you reach him? | 0:11:40 | 0:11:42 | |
No, no. I need him now. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
Cos I'm at fucking NBC, about to go into a fucking meeting, | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
and they think I'm fucking reading, which I am fucking not! | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
Listen, as soon as you hear from him, | 0:11:50 | 0:11:52 | |
you have him call me on my cell. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:54 | |
Monsieur LeBlanc... | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
What a clusterfuck. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
We were told you were going to read. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:03 | |
No. The whole deal was I'm not going to read. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
But then we heard that you were. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:08 | |
No. HE SCOFFS | 0:12:08 | 0:12:09 | |
How does this happen? I don't know. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
It's mortifying. I am mortified. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:16 | |
So, what do we do? | 0:12:16 | 0:12:17 | |
I don't know. They're waiting. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
You know if it were just up to me, | 0:12:20 | 0:12:21 | |
I would give you the part in a heartbeat, | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
but it's the fucking suits. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:25 | |
It's becoming a pissing match. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:27 | |
OK, look, you know how much I love this thing. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |
But, no, I'm not reading. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:32 | |
In all fairness... | 0:12:34 | 0:12:35 | |
and I probably shouldn't tell you this... | 0:12:35 | 0:12:37 | |
there is another actor they're very keen on. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:40 | |
Who? I can't say. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
Can I? No. No? No! | 0:12:43 | 0:12:45 | |
He came in yesterday, | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
and he was fine in a totally boring way you'd expect | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
if you knew who I was talking about. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
HE SNORES, LAUGHS | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |
But if you don't read today, | 0:12:54 | 0:12:55 | |
they're going to give the part to him. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
Plus, he's a lot cheaper than you. | 0:12:57 | 0:12:59 | |
A lot. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:00 | |
Please! | 0:13:00 | 0:13:01 | |
I beseech you. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
HE SIGHS HEAVILY | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
No. No. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:14 | |
I'm not going to eat their shit. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:15 | |
Oh, come on! | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
We all have to eat shit now and then. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
You just have to eat it until the show's a big hit... | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
It's called show business! | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
No. I'm sorry. Good luck with the project. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:29 | |
So you just walked out? | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
Hey, at a certain point, | 0:13:36 | 0:13:37 | |
someone has to say no to these assholes. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:40 | |
It's a very strange day when you're my hero. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |
Aw(!) So, do we know who the other guy is who's getting the part? | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
Nah. They were just using that to get me to read. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
There probably isn't even another guy. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
Really? | 0:13:49 | 0:13:50 | |
Here's what's going to happen. Right now, they're telling each other | 0:13:50 | 0:13:53 | |
they didn't want me in the first place. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:55 | |
Then they'll offer it to some big movie guy like Nicolas Cage, | 0:13:55 | 0:13:59 | |
who you know isn't going to do TV, | 0:13:59 | 0:14:02 | |
but he'll jerk them around for a while, | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
then come back and say... Ohh! He won't do TV. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:07 | |
Then they'll go to, like, | 0:14:07 | 0:14:08 | |
some big Broadway star who nobody's fucking heard of, | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
and he won't want to leave New York, | 0:14:11 | 0:14:13 | |
which only makes them want him more. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
So they'll offer to shoot it in New York, | 0:14:15 | 0:14:17 | |
but then the Broadway guy will decide he doesn't want to do TV. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:20 | |
Then they'll just give it to Dylan McDermott. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:22 | |
And that's why I want to go home. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
Right. But in the meantime, you're here. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
So... To the three of us in what was, on the whole, | 0:14:27 | 0:14:31 | |
a fairly shitty experience... THEY LAUGH | 0:14:31 | 0:14:33 | |
PHONE RINGS Sorry. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:34 | |
Hold that thought. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
You were up to "shitty experience." Hello? | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
Sean, hi. It's Eileen. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:41 | |
Did Carol Rance offer you a series pick-up, no pilot? | 0:14:41 | 0:14:45 | |
Yes. 'You've got to tell me these things.' | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
Kim Sally heard about it. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
She's willing to match it and kick in a big penalty. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
What? It's Eileen. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:55 | |
FOX is willing to offer us a series pick-up with a big penalty. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
The penalty being we would have to do it. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
Eileen, I'm sorry. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:02 | |
We said no to Carol, and it's no to Kim. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
It's not going to happen. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:06 | |
PHONE RINGS Ugh! Unbelievable! | 0:15:07 | 0:15:10 | |
Hello? | 0:15:11 | 0:15:13 | |
Hi, sweetie. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:14 | |
Hi. I'm out to dinner. Can I call you back? | 0:15:14 | 0:15:16 | |
No. No? | 0:15:16 | 0:15:17 | |
Elliot Salad read your script. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:19 | |
He really liked it. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:22 | |
He said it was the one sane thing Castor said. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:25 | |
I can't believe we're even having this conversation again. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:28 | |
It's Elliot Salad! | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
'How do I say no to Elliot Salad?' | 0:15:30 | 0:15:32 | |
I don't care. With croutons, but say it. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:36 | |
What's happening? What's... | 0:15:36 | 0:15:38 | |
Elliot Salad read the script, and now he wants to do it. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
She said... I heard. Put Bev on. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:43 | |
She wants to talk to you. Switch. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:45 | |
Seriously?! | 0:15:45 | 0:15:46 | |
Bev, hi. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:49 | |
We haven't really gotten to know each other that well... | 0:15:49 | 0:15:52 | |
Or at all. OK, sure. But can I just say, as your agent... | 0:15:52 | 0:15:57 | |
Our agent? She's our agent? Kind of. | 0:15:57 | 0:15:59 | |
What about Stanley? He's OK with it. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:01 | |
It's like waking up from a coma. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:03 | |
'Bev, listen to me.' | 0:16:03 | 0:16:04 | |
You've got two networks competing for you. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:07 | |
It's a big deal. Not to me. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
Put her back on. Switch. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:11 | |
Jesus Christ! | 0:16:11 | 0:16:12 | |
Just put me on speaker. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:14 | |
You're on speaker. 'All right.' | 0:16:14 | 0:16:16 | |
What will it take to get you to stay here? | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
'Name it. I will make it happen.' | 0:16:18 | 0:16:21 | |
You want someone to bring you tea and crumpets every afternoon? | 0:16:21 | 0:16:25 | |
I will do it personally. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:27 | |
You...you need more rain? | 0:16:27 | 0:16:28 | |
We got machines for that. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:30 | |
'What do you want?' | 0:16:30 | 0:16:32 | |
Judi Dench? | 0:16:32 | 0:16:33 | |
There are ways to get her here. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:36 | |
What's she offering you? | 0:16:36 | 0:16:37 | |
Judi Dench, apparently. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:39 | |
For which part? | 0:16:39 | 0:16:40 | |
I think in general. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:42 | |
All right. Put me on speaker, too. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
EXASPERATED SIGH | 0:16:44 | 0:16:46 | |
'Carol, hi. It's Eileen.' | 0:16:46 | 0:16:49 | |
CAROL: 'Hi, sweetie.' | 0:16:49 | 0:16:50 | |
'Kim is prepared to match whatever you're offering, | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
'and you know Kim. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:54 | |
'Yeah, I know Kim. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:55 | |
'She was my assistant for four years. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:58 | |
'I don't care what Kim wants. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:00 | |
'Elliot wants this to happen, so it is going to happen.' | 0:17:00 | 0:17:03 | |
No, it's not going to happen. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
Then hang up. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
Just hang up. Hang the fuck up. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:08 | |
We're hanging up. CAROL AND EILEEN: 'Don't hang up!' | 0:17:08 | 0:17:11 | |
Bye! | 0:17:11 | 0:17:12 | |
Now turn them off. Enough with the fucking phones. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
Starting now, it's a no-phone dinner, yes? | 0:17:15 | 0:17:17 | |
Agreed. Done. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:18 | |
PHONE RINGS Hang on a sec. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:21 | |
What's up? | 0:17:21 | 0:17:22 | |
You sitting down? Yeah. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:24 | |
They blinked again. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
Who blinked? 'NBC.' Meaning? | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
You got the show. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:30 | |
SIGHS WITH RELIEF | 0:17:30 | 0:17:33 | |
Got to say, I am not going to miss this place. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:39 | |
Oh, I know. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:40 | |
Of all the rooms we've ever been in, | 0:17:40 | 0:17:42 | |
this may be my least favourite. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:44 | |
And we've been in Anne Frank's house. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:47 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:17:47 | 0:17:49 | |
MERC LAUGHS | 0:17:51 | 0:17:53 | |
COCKNEY ACCENT: Look who's here! It's fish and chips. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:56 | |
Bloody hell. Fuck me. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:58 | |
Come here, you. | 0:17:58 | 0:17:59 | |
Really? Still? | 0:17:59 | 0:18:01 | |
Come here. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:02 | |
Ahh! | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
Ah, you know, this is so weird. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:07 | |
I was just thinking about you two. Why? | 0:18:07 | 0:18:10 | |
We got to make some more TV together. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:12 | |
Why would you say that? | 0:18:12 | 0:18:14 | |
I'll tell you what your problem is. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:15 | |
You need someone like me to run interference, | 0:18:15 | 0:18:18 | |
keep the idiots out of your hair. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:19 | |
This may be my favourite moment so far. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:22 | |
I'm telling you. Someone's got to protect you | 0:18:22 | 0:18:24 | |
from those assholes at the network. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
Where were you when we met you? | 0:18:26 | 0:18:27 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:18:27 | 0:18:29 | |
Unfortunately, we're heading back to London tomorrow. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:33 | |
Well, what about Pucks? | 0:18:33 | 0:18:34 | |
Over. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:35 | |
No! I loved that show. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
Did you(?) | 0:18:38 | 0:18:39 | |
Well, at least that cocksucker LeBlanc's out of a job. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:43 | |
That's one good thing. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:44 | |
Actually, sorry to disappoint you, | 0:18:44 | 0:18:46 | |
but he's starring in a big NBC pilot. Really? | 0:18:46 | 0:18:49 | |
Mm, some drama. Supposed to be their hot new thing. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:51 | |
Oh. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
Good for him. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:56 | |
All right, kitchen's done. What next? | 0:19:01 | 0:19:03 | |
Electric toothbrush with American plug? | 0:19:03 | 0:19:06 | |
Chuck it. Consider it chucked. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:07 | |
DOORBELL RINGS Oh, God. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:09 | |
The car's here already? | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
Hi. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
I came to say goodbye. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:18 | |
And...? | 0:19:18 | 0:19:20 | |
And nothing. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:21 | |
I just wanted to give you a hug before you go. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:25 | |
I know. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
I'm going to miss you so much. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:35 | |
I'm going to miss you, too. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:37 | |
I really am. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:38 | |
Susan Sarandon read your script. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |
What?! What? | 0:19:40 | 0:19:41 | |
Oh, God. I wasn't going to say it. It just popped out. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
Let go of me. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:45 | |
Don't be mad. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
She read it and really wants to do it. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
Susan Sarandon. I love Susan Sarandon. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
And she loves the part. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:54 | |
She's never done a series. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:56 | |
She said this is what she's been waiting for. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
Come on. Susan Sarandon! | 0:19:59 | 0:20:02 | |
Oh, please! | 0:20:02 | 0:20:04 | |
You know by the time they're done with us, | 0:20:04 | 0:20:06 | |
it's not going to be Susan Sarandon. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:08 | |
She's just saying Susan Sarandon today. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
Ooh, look... A carrot! | 0:20:10 | 0:20:12 | |
But once we're in, it's, "Oh, sorry." | 0:20:12 | 0:20:15 | |
"Susan can't do it. But you know who we can get? | 0:20:15 | 0:20:19 | |
"Someone shitty who's totally wrong for the part." | 0:20:19 | 0:20:23 | |
You watch. It'll end up being... | 0:20:23 | 0:20:25 | |
..this cup. She'll ring us up one day. "Hold for Carol." | 0:20:26 | 0:20:30 | |
And she'll be all... BREATHING HEAVILY | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
AS CAROL: "You guys, guess what? | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
"The cup wants to do your show. This is huge. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
"The cup turns down everything!" | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
And we'll be, "Uh, the cup?" | 0:20:40 | 0:20:42 | |
And she'll say, "Seriously? | 0:20:42 | 0:20:44 | |
"You don't know the cup? | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
"From Where's My Saucer? And Me and the Spoon." | 0:20:46 | 0:20:49 | |
Yeah, and suddenly, we'll be doing a show | 0:20:49 | 0:20:53 | |
starring a fucking cup, | 0:20:53 | 0:20:54 | |
who you just know | 0:20:54 | 0:20:55 | |
is going to want to make lots of very cuppy changes | 0:20:55 | 0:20:58 | |
because it needs to make it its own. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:02 | |
SHE SIGHS | 0:21:02 | 0:21:04 | |
Did Susan say what she liked about it? | 0:21:05 | 0:21:07 | |
Oh! DOORBELL RINGS | 0:21:07 | 0:21:08 | |
Hey. Came to say goodbye. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:13 | |
And that's all? Uh, yeah. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:15 | |
You see? | 0:21:17 | 0:21:19 | |
This is what saying goodbye looks like. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:24 | |
No hidden agendas, no last-ditch efforts. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:26 | |
Susan Sarandon wants to do our show! | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
Pucks?! No, that other script. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:31 | |
Ooh. I worked with her. She's amazing. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:33 | |
If you could get Susan Sarandon... We've got her. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:36 | |
Probably good you're going home. DOORBELL RINGS | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
Shit. That's the car. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:42 | |
What are we forgetting? | 0:21:42 | 0:21:44 | |
Oh, good. I'm so glad I caught you before you left. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:48 | |
Hi, guys. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:50 | |
I've got big news. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:51 | |
CBS wants in. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
That's three networks. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:55 | |
Well, only one is getting it. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:57 | |
CBS is guaranteeing them a killer time slot. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:00 | |
You don't have a killer time slot. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 | |
That's worth a lot. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:04 | |
I got them Susan Sarandon. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:06 | |
Susan Sarandon's not doing television. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |
Thank you. Mnh-mnh. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:10 | |
She's got three movies lined up. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:12 | |
What about Goldie Hawn? | 0:22:12 | 0:22:15 | |
Ooh! She's great. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:17 | |
She's a client. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:18 | |
Stop casting. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:20 | |
PHONE RINGS Mm... | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
Kim Sally from FOX. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:24 | |
Hi, honey. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:25 | |
I'm actually with them now. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
Not with me. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:29 | |
I've also got Carol Rance here. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:31 | |
Kim wants to come over, too. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:32 | |
BEVERLY: No! | 0:22:32 | 0:22:34 | |
This is fun. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:35 | |
Don't worry. I'll call back if anything changes. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:37 | |
Nothing is going to change. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:39 | |
LANDLINE RINGING | 0:22:39 | 0:22:41 | |
Aren't you going to get that? | 0:22:50 | 0:22:52 | |
We never use that phone. It came with the house. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:55 | |
It's never rung the whole time we've been here. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:57 | |
We don't even know the number. | 0:22:57 | 0:22:58 | |
I'm sorry. I cannot not answer a phone. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
Hello. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:08 | |
'Hi. I'm calling from CBS. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | |
'I have Les Moonves for Sean and Beverly.' | 0:23:10 | 0:23:12 | |
Uh, Sean and Beverly are right here. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:16 | |
'You're on with Les.' | 0:23:16 | 0:23:19 | |
Hi. Is this Sean and Beverly? | 0:23:19 | 0:23:21 | |
Uh, it's Les Moon... | 0:23:21 | 0:23:23 | |
ALL GASP | 0:23:23 | 0:23:24 | |
We have a plane to catch. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:25 | |
Are you crazy? I'll call him and say we were disconnected. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
You hung up on Les Moonves?! I'm calling Susan Sarandon. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
How can we leave? Everybody wants us. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:33 | |
Which is why we should leave. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:35 | |
It's the perfect time. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:37 | |
What? | 0:23:37 | 0:23:39 | |
We have spent a year feeling absolutely powerless. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:43 | |
As soon as we say yes to one of those fuckers, | 0:23:43 | 0:23:44 | |
we're right back there, | 0:23:44 | 0:23:46 | |
but if we go now, with all of them fighting over us, | 0:23:46 | 0:23:49 | |
that's as good as it gets in this town. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:53 | |
This is the giraffe. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:56 | |
Hey, your car's here. What should I tell him? | 0:23:58 | 0:24:01 | |
We're leaving. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:07 | |
Oh! | 0:24:09 | 0:24:10 | |
Really? | 0:24:10 | 0:24:11 | |
Shouldn't we, uh... | 0:24:11 | 0:24:14 | |
Get Les Moonves back on the phone... I want to talk to Susan! | 0:24:14 | 0:24:18 | |
Fuck 'em. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:19 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:24:19 | 0:24:21 | |
Get out of here. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:22 | |
Mr Salad! | 0:24:40 | 0:24:42 | |
I didn't know you were in town. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:44 | |
CHUCKLES | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
So I'm still getting hugs? | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
Why not? As I recall, last time we spoke, | 0:24:49 | 0:24:52 | |
you told me I could go fuck myself with Castor Sotto's dick. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:55 | |
Ah, you fired me. I was a little hurt. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:57 | |
Water under the bridge. | 0:24:57 | 0:24:59 | |
Anyway, uh, be well. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:00 | |
Oh! I heard about Matt LeBlanc getting that big pilot over at NBC. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:04 | |
What? | 0:25:04 | 0:25:06 | |
What? You didn't know? They're building a whole night around it. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:09 | |
Are you kidding? I got to say, | 0:25:09 | 0:25:10 | |
I was surprised you'd let that happen. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:12 | |
I mean, not my business any more, but how's that look? | 0:25:12 | 0:25:15 | |
He bombs with you guys, then gets a big hit across the street? | 0:25:15 | 0:25:19 | |
People get fired for that. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:21 | |
And it's NBC? | 0:25:21 | 0:25:23 | |
Mm-hmm. Jesus. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:26 | |
Ah! Sorry I even mentioned it. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:27 | |
Elliot, hi. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:37 | |
Have we officially cancelled Pucks? | 0:25:37 | 0:25:39 | |
Uh, no. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:41 | |
You sure? | 0:25:41 | 0:25:42 | |
The paperwork's still here on my desk. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:44 | |
Pick it up for six more. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:47 | |
Wait. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:49 | |
You want to pick up Pucks? | 0:25:49 | 0:25:52 | |
Today. But...you hate Pucks. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:56 | |
I hate NBC more. | 0:25:56 | 0:25:58 | |
Monsieur LeBlanc! | 0:26:04 | 0:26:06 | |
Hey! | 0:26:06 | 0:26:08 | |
How exciting. Our little adventure begins. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:13 | |
I know. Very cool. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:15 | |
You are going to be so wonderful in this. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:17 | |
I can already smell your Emmy. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:20 | |
SNIFFING No, that was me. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:22 | |
BOTH LAUGH | 0:26:22 | 0:26:24 | |
PHONE RINGS | 0:26:24 | 0:26:26 | |
Ugh. Hang on a second... Agent. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:29 | |
Hey, uh, can't talk right now. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:32 | |
Yeah, I'm already here. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:34 | |
Are you fucking kidding me? | 0:26:39 | 0:26:42 | |
They can't do that. We were cancelled. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:44 | |
What does "not officially" mean? | 0:26:44 | 0:26:46 | |
That's bullshit. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:50 | |
OK, so what does that mean about this? | 0:26:50 | 0:26:52 | |
I don't care. I'm doing it. They can't stop me! | 0:26:55 | 0:26:59 | |
Oh... | 0:26:59 | 0:27:00 | |
BEVERLY: How wonderful is this? | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
It's wet! | 0:27:10 | 0:27:12 | |
Remember wet? | 0:27:12 | 0:27:13 | |
Mm, and slippery, too. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:17 | |
I've missed every precarious inch of it. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:21 | |
Hard to believe that, yesterday, | 0:27:21 | 0:27:22 | |
we were sitting in traffic on the 405. Mm. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:25 | |
Oh, it's like waking up from some fever dream. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:29 | |
We're awake, and we're here. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:32 | |
And I love you. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:35 | |
Love you, too. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:37 | |
PHONE RINGS | 0:27:44 | 0:27:46 | |
It's an LA number. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:50 | |
Don't answer it. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:52 | |
Oh, dear God, don't answer it! | 0:27:52 | 0:27:57 | |
RINGING CONTINUES | 0:27:57 | 0:27:59 |
