Ned, how many times have you
staged your own sighting?
Can you believe it, it's me!
Hey, watch where you're going,
you dumb bastard.
I'll cut ya.
Wait a tic, you didn't have your
own brand of sandals, did ya?
Yeah, shockless monster footwear.
Look, I'm gonna go over my lines.
I owned a pair of those. They
were terrible.
I like jellies, remember them?
Them some satisfying sandals, I
tell you what.
It's real tough-
So, uh...
- Nice work, nice work.
I like it. -Thanks.
"Life After Myth. " It's um...
It's kinda like "Curb Your
Enthusiasm. "
But substitute Larry David for the
Loch Ness Monster, and then his...
Jeff Garland would be Sasquatch,
you know? Right?
that?
No, no no. It's not Jeff Gar-
I'm just saying... um...
Uh, it's a "Jeff Garland"
type...
- Oh, oh, oh.
- No, I don't have him.
- That's not Jeff Garland.
- No.
What's, uh, the demo?
I think it's more like, uh, 18
to... 18 to 35, maybe?
I would say 18 to 35.
To get the jokes, they need
know, uh...
mythological, uh, you know,
stories.
They need to know stuff about,
like, Chupacabra, who...
Who, who... Is one of the bad guys in it.
He's the antagonist. He's on a telenovela.
What? He's on a telenovela right
now?
In the hypoth-, in the fictional
world, of the show...
Oh, in your show, he's on a
Spanish-
- In a telonovela.
- Right.
- Show within a show.
- Because he's Spanish.
He is Spanish. It's a, uh, a
Mexican...
Well, technically Puerto Rican
is what I heard.
Let me ask you this,
what's the show about?
I mean, I think...
sorta obvious...
It's about myths, you
know, and them feeling...
...like has-beens and
burnouts and them trying to...
...exist in a world where...
Um...
Their star had faded or
something?
"Life After Myth. "
OK.
What else ya got?
What else, what else do I got?
Another show?
Another concept? Another pitch?
What?
Is this it?
No, this is the only show I
brought into pitch cuz...
This is the one I've been
working on.
- It's, it's, it's been like three
years of my life. -Oh boy.
And you know, but I, I could...
But I could bring something else
in but it would-
No.
OK.
Alright.
- All I'm saying is if he was
into it at all...
- He probably would've given me a
deal, right then and there, right?
- Come on, it was your first
meeting.
- And probably my last too.
- I think I just... I'm not cut
out for it.
Oliver, you can't do this.
Yeah, obviously. I've just been
told that I suck, so that's clear.
- Can't do it. -I'm not
talking about your talent.
I'm saying you can't just have one
rejection and then think it's over
and go cry in a corner or something.
- Cry in a corner? What are...
Dude, I'm saying you need to have a little more
gumption, a little more faith in yourself.
It takes a long time to get your foot
in the door and you can't just give up.
Got a promotion. That's pretty
cool.
At your job job?
Yeah, jobby job.
You know, salary. Which is is good, cuz I've
been hourly guy since I was like a fetus.
Little bit more.
It's full time, Jules, so that usually
means many hours, all the days.
When do you think we're gonna do
"Hobo?"
We'll still do it. I promise.
We'll carve out time. I just...
I just gotta tighten the screws,
Buckle down.
for bums.
Huh. Yeah.
Uh, happy for you.
Thanks.
And speaking of bums, if you would please
direct your attention to the left.
Don't look too long.
She looking at me?
So what's the, uh, inspiration
behind the white?
I'm selling it by sections.
Um...
Thousand...
per...
five...
You know, break it up, chop it
up, snort it up.
- That's me tonight.
- Yeah.
I mean, but who's gonna buy walls,
white walls? I don't really...
I don't do it for the money.
Guys, look...
Hey.
Guys, look...
Guys, look...
Hey Jules.
Hey Sushi.
Do you want to get some wine?
- Want some wine?
- No that's...
Be back soon.
How was the meeting? How was the
meeting?
Nickelodeon?
Uh, it was, it was a bomb.
Da bomb?
No, no...
I bombed it.
Like, pretty badly.
- It's a tough industry.
- It's a tough industry!
It's tough, it's rough.
- Just stick around, you know, long enough.
They'll give you a...
- paintbrush...
- an easel...
- and a little...
- animation machine or whatever.
I would like to tell you what I,
a person who has only known you a matter
of minutes, already likes about you.
I like your glasses, but...
I'm really interested in your
eyeballs.
And oh my gosh, your face!
It's equal parts mysterious and
creepy.
Is that a compliment?
Yeah.
So where I can see your work?
Uh...
This is some stuff I'm working
on.
Oh!
That's so good!
It's sort of
semi-autobiographical.
- You're a dinosaur?
- No, I'm not a dinosaur.
It's a sea monster.
OK, well tell me this...
What is...
your biggest dream?
For yourself. Like ultimate
fantasy.
I know everybody says this and
it's totally cliche, but...
I would kill to work for Pixar.
Yeah.
I would, like, you know, be a
coffee slave.
Do custodial work, whatever. I'd
just love to get into that building.
For two seconds, you know.
So why aren't you there?
Haha. It's not that easy.
No, you have to go to the right
school, you have to
know the right people. You have
to work in-house.
So get "in-house. "
Can't. Frankly, there's a lot of
steps...
I think my time, just... passed.
You know?
Or something.
Pixar.
You have a friend what?
Yeah, we should go.
You could totally get it in the right hands.
You could do your presentation
for them!
- This is crazy.
- No it's not, it's perfect.
What?
We'll be to San Francisco by tomorrow.
You can see my friend and start
your new life.
- You being serious right now?
- Yes!
- That's insane. -Got all kinds
of stuff in my trunk...
Wait, wait. I don't like that
word. I really don't like that-
What? "Panties?"
Yeah yeah yeah.
Well we can get in my car...
and go to your house and get
your moist boy panties...
That's not a thing. And disgusting.
I would love to do that, but
I...
I got to do the responsible
thing. I got a new job.
And it's a good thing.
What's your name?
Oliver.
Oliver, if you want to change your
life, all you got to do is do it.
OK.
OK, um... Look.
Here's my name...
Lily Blush.
And here's my phone number and
my address.
Your address? Um...
- How do you not know I'm some...
- In case you change your mind.
Pervy stalker?
Oliver.
And besides...
even if you were...
I like pervy stalkers.
- You and Lil Lil seemed to
really hit it off.
Yeah, she's pretty interesting.
- I like her hair.
- Dude, she's trouble.
- How is she?
- She's trouble dude!
She's just got some energy,
she's just spicy.
When Sushi and I were dating.
Lily comes into town,
