(woman) Yeah, but she would

have been at home, asleep.

(Stern) At home asleep, at

home playing board games-

it's not about what time it was

or where she was at.

Batman is a scary movie.

If you're in this

to change the world,

you're in the wrong business.

We have a dozen interns who can

write more palatable stories

for college credit and who

would love to have your job.

In fact, clear out your desk.

You're just

not working out here.

(man)

I Can't explain I

I All I see is,

all I see's a fight I

I If there's a way through

I'll not find it I

[door buzzes]

Liv, it's With. Call me back.

I'm on my way to you

right now.

Are you there?

[knocks on door]

Liv, it's With. Call me back.

I'm on my way to you right now.

Hey.

Ooh! Sorry.

I've been texting

you for hours.

Did you lose

your phone again?

No, I live in

a bomb shelter

and have 1/8 of

a bar of reception.

[sighing]

What?

Okay, you're

freaking me out.

Was there a

terrorist attack?

Should we flee?

[sighs]

L-I couldn't

sell the story.

L-I called and I pleaded

and I begged everyone I knew.

Who's everyone?

Post, The Times,

interview.

So none of the paparazzi

that were there-

none of them

printed anything.

No.

Not even a blog?

L-I tried.

[sighs]

Liv, I think if you want

to impact mass culture

in America, you need to take

this to the next level.

I think you need

to go really big.

National publicity stunts.

Viral campaigns.

Armies of women

in every single city.

I think you need

to make so much noise

that these policy-makers

have no other choice

but to listen.

With, I can't afford

to eat at a restaurant.

Where am I gonna get

the cash for a revolution?

We'll find the money.

We'll start a nonprofit.

We're gonna make it work.

We?

What do you mean, "we"?

What are you saying,

Snow White?

I'm saying I just lost my

job over this article,

I'm about to get evicted,

and I have nothing

left to lose.

You honestly believe that we can

change the laws in this country?

Yeah.

[car horn blaring]

[funky electronic music]

Orson!

Orson!

II:

Orson!

II:

Orson!

What's that on your head?

Check for f***ing $5,000.

Why'd you put it on your head?

That's a dumb place

to put a check.

Yeah; let's go pig out,

like, now.

Okay. Yeah. I'm down.

How much of that

did you see?

Like, all of it,

or just the end part?

[indistinct chatter]

Do you honestly believe

that we can change the laws

in this country?

Do you want to hear

a quote that sums up

my entire theory of life?

(Liv)

Okay

(With)

First they ignore you,

then they laugh at you,

then they fight you,

and then you win.

(Liv)

Who said that?

(With)

Mahatma Gandhi.

It's very optimistic.

Yeah.

I We got money I

I mean, money

isn't really real.

If you think about it,

it's like pretty colored paper

and lots of numbers

in a computer.

Uh, that's the single dumbest

thing you've ever said.

[laughs]

Money is 100% real.

Well.

It's the realest

thing I know.

This is real.

- That's for me?

- Mm-hmm.

You are such

a good friend.

[laughs]

For rent and cable

and 500 for all the takeout

you've been buying.

Well, I'm not gonna

take money for takeout.

Why aren't you gonna

take money for takeout?

What? Because that's

just me as a friend

buying you lunch.

- Just take it.

- I'm not-no.

Because no.

Just receive.

Fine.

Okay.

I'm not happy

about it,

and I'll hold

this against you.

[phone beeps]

Oh, Jim Black.

Jim Black?

Who's that?

Inquiring minds

want to know.

Yeah, yeah.

This DC PR guy that

I worked with at the paper

finally texted me back.

DC PR guy?

What do you mean you're

texting a DC PR guy?

I am starting...

a full-scale

culture revolution.

- Seriously?

- Yeah.

And I need help.

L-l'm-

And listen

before you-

and it involves

a lot of women.

I might be able

to make time.

Look at-look.

How single are...

most of them?

(woman)

I And they took you I

I Right on by I

- So.

- Hey.

Remember when you said

we should get a lawyer

to come with you to your

next topless protest?

Yeah; that

was your idea.

Okay, well,

I looked into it,

and these lawyers who

specialize in freedom of speech

have agreed to represent us

in New York and nationwide.

Oh, my god! Ah!

Freeing nipples

state by state.

Amazing.

One by one.

So are you

gonna do it too?

What?

Go topless.

Oh, my god.

Sure. Maybe. Maybe.

If I'm surrounded

by other women,

but that's not the point, Liv!

Okay, okay, okay.

Sorry, sorry.

So how much is this

gonna cost us?

$3,000 to put them

on retainer,

which is a deal-

believe me.

But where are we

gonna get that money?

Ta-da!

What is that?

Severance check

from the paper.

$5,000.

Consider me your

first investor.

Whoo!

[kissing]

Thank you, With.

You're welcome.

Oh, wow. Uhh...

(Liv)

Uh, do you have any issues with

being topless

in public places?

[laughs]

I made a resolution this year

to try more new,

scary things, so...

that sounds really scary.

Yeah.

It says that you

have special skills.

Yeah, um, I know Final Cut,

Excel, Photoshop,

Java, Drupal...

And my grandmother

was a Black Panther.

That's so cool.

Head Malcolm X.

The description says

campaign experience,

film and editing skills wanted,

must be comfortable

with public nudity.

[both laughing]

Um, can I be arrested?

Yeah.

Where do you stand on pasties?

Do you have

any objections

to going undercover inside

government organizations

to free this country from

oppression and censorship?

F*** yeah.

Do you have any issues

getting topless

in public places?

Thank you.

That's great.

Thank you.

Um, you guys are

both filmmakers.

Oh, l-l'm sorry.

I didn't know you guys

didn't speak English,

but that's great that

you guys are here.

I mean, I guess I would have

to tell my husband about it.

My tits are in.

I'm free tomorrow.

That's great.

[laughs]

All right.

What's going on?

Are we f***ed?

It's working.

- Officers, excuse me.

- What's going on here?

These women are my clients,

and we have legal permits

for this demonstration.

Now, according

to statute 245.01,

the Court of Appeals

of New York has ruled

that the exposure

of a bare female breast

violates no exposure laws.

And so on behalf of my clients,

for violation of this statute,

I'm officially issuing you

a lawsuit.

For their wrongful arrest

on Wall Street,

September the 15th of 2012.

'IO million, huh'?

I mean, it was

just a PR stunt.
