It's the worst decision

you've ever made in your life.

You made the worst decision. Howard.

How beautiful is this?

I don't think that salmon

was wild, by the way.

- Did you see this?

- Oh, my God, that's beautiful.

We have a rosewater-infused,

white chocolate souffl,

with an almond chutney.

And here we have the raspberry

and chocolate mousse

with a kola nut

and cocoa mousse in the center.

- Kola nut?

- Yes, kola nut. Enjoy.

I was... I was walking down Castro Street,

and this fat woman is coming toward me

and she bumps me with her stomach

and knocks me off the curb.

It was hilarious.

What is... What did you do to her?

- Out of the clear blue sky...

- Are you okay?

Yeah, of course, I'm okay.

It was funny.

There was a cop, saw the whole thing,

he was laughing.

This city, what's happening is disgusting.

These homeless people,

the hospitals are releasing them...

- it's so sad.

- They're in Mountain View now.

It's not sad. It's a funny story.

- I just don't understand...

- You don't think that's funny?

A fat woman just hits me off the road...

- If you say fat again...

- Oh, you can't say fat.

You can't say fat.

What is going on with Electron Motors?

I'm very excited

about the electric car coming out.

Oh, my gosh. You have no idea.

They doubled that battery life.

Did you know that?

- They have doubled that battery life.

- What?

- You're sitting on a fortune.

- That thing is gonna be huge.

- I'm so excited.

- Yeah, well, there's a problem.

With the car?

- I'm out of the company.

- What?

Yeah. There was a presentation today

and he revealed

that the name of the car is Howard,

and I had a big problem with that.

And he said, "if you don't like it,

you can sell back your shares," and I did.

- No, you didn't. Please tell me you're joking.

- No. I'm not joking.

Because he named his car Howard?

This is a joke?

You can't name a car Howard.

It's just not a name of a car.

Honey, enough about the name.

Let's get back to the shares, okay?

You have to go back

and get your shares back.

I actually love the name Howard.

I do. I was thinking about

the name last night.

Howard's a solid name. Howard's a good guy.

There's a lot of good Howards.

They're average.

They're an average guy

doing average things.

And this is the campaign.

Solid, dependable, trustworthy,

that's our Howard.

The name that yesterday you had nothing

but disparaging comments about.

I'm really sorry. I am. I'm sorry.

Yeah. Sounds to me like

you're sorry you f***ed up,

but not, you know,

not for what's underneath it.

I apologized. That's what's important.

It doesn't matter if you apologize

if it's not sincere.

Apologies don't have to be sincere.

It's just the act of the apology itself.

It's only... All that matters

is if you're acting sincere.

That is literally the only thing

an apology has to be,

is sincere.

Oh, God, Will, I completely...

- Otherwise, it's just words.

- I'm acting sincere.

Of course, I don't believe it.

Here at this company, we

believe in sincerity.

You had the opportunity

to meet my son yesterday,

the one thing in the world

that I happen to care about

more than this company.

What did you do? Do you remember?

You talked about his nanny's hair

and how much it might stink.

Nope. Never said the nanny's hair stunk.

I never said that. I never said it stunk.

You know what you didn't say?

- What?

- "Cute kid."

- I was gonna get to that.

- "What a nice son."

"What a great job you did raising your son

as a single parent."

"What a nice job, seems like a good kid."

You know what, you don't get to that.

You lead with it.

How could you lead with it

if somebody's shampooing once a week?

Janine has your severance package

at the front desk.

Your things have been packed up.

You can tell the delivery company

to take them wherever you need them to be.

I'm sorry it had to be like this.

Are you sorry? Are you really sorry?

- No.

- You see?

You did the exact same thing I did.

You apologized, but you didn't mean it.

Janine has your things.

The delivery guys need an address.

You know, I was an early investor

in this company.

I believe in this car.

I thought we were good friends.

Will, this isn't fair.

It's not fair.

The Howard is the Model T of its day.

It's literally a billion-dollar idea.

Will Haney with the Howard

has built a better mousetrap

and changed American culture forever.

And in the process he,

and those smart enough

to have partnered with him,

have become very, very wealthy.

Thanks for coming in, Nathan.

I know how to get a hold of you.

Yeah. If anything comes up...

Yeah.

Sure. Thank you.

Hey, did you see my Plepler?

Who took my Plepler?

Kashman?

Electron Motors'

stock continued its meteoric rise.

That's good news

for everyone except this man,

Nathan Flomm, who sources say...

- That's you on the TV.

- Hey, that is you.

- Nathan? Nathan?

- No, no, that's not me.

- Huh? What? No.

- Nathan.

- I have your drink.

- Sh*t, man, you lost

all that money. What happened?

- That is huge.

- Like you never made a mistake.

- Come on. Nate, come back.

- Hey, don't you want your coffee?

So what else is in the news?

Hey, have you guys heard of Nathan Flomm?

Yeah. Of course you have.

Like you never made a mistake.

Like you never made a mistake.

Like you never made a mistake.

"CONAN". You think you had a bad day?

This guy lost a billion dollars.

He lost a billion, but

don't worry about him.

What little money he had left,

he invested in Enron.

Thank you, Rolly.

And I got you a little pickle.

A pickle.

Half sweet, half sour. Just like you.

I don't eat pickles.

You've been working for me nine years.

You should know that, Rolly.

- You drive me crazy.

- I drive you crazy?

- I just wanna eat in peace.

- What do you think you're doing to me?

Here. You don't want the pickle?

- I'll take the pickle. Okay?

- Please.

Yeah, get it out of my sight.

And don't eat it in front of me.

- Oh, my God.

- It makes me sick.

I'm gonna tell you

something, it's fantastic.

I hope you choke on it.

Happy birthday to you.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

No. Oh, dear...

Oh, gee.

- Just for you.

- Oh, gosh.

That was quite awful.

It's your birthday.

I'm really looking forward to getting

wasted with somebody who's turning 90.

- That's gonna be a first for me.

- That's really sweet of you.

What are we gonna do?

We're gonna watch Cocoon?

- Okay. That's good. Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- Yeah.

- Let's go. Come on.

- Nathan Flomm, marketing.

- What?

- Who's that'?

- Oh, uh... Yeah, a guy.

The old owner must have left it

in the closet or something.

I don't know. What's the plan?

North Oak Tavern?

That's the plan. Beer's on me.

What do you think?

- A Howard?

- Yup.

Half the people on the island drive this.

Why should I be the only

a**hole paying for gas.

Let's take my car.

Why would we take your car?
