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?

Jeff Garland was Sasquatch in

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?

You asking me or telling me?

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...

I kinda already said it. It's

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,

I gotta do the adult thing.

Buckle down.

This starving artist stuff is

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?

The biggie meeting at

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.

I have a friend that works at

Pixar.

You have a friend what?

Yeah, we should go.

You could totally get it in the right hands.

You could go! We should go!

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?

I have a feeling about you,

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,
