a meeting with you.

Oh, my God.

You got Elle?

- You got Elle?

- Who's Elle?

- Oh, my God.

- Who's Elle?

She's everywhere.

She's next up.

Bomit, Banksy,

The London Police.

She's the next bullet

in the barrel.

So when are you

free to meet?

Now.

- Yay!

- Yay!

- Yay!

- Yeah!

So Milk's driving us to

an undisclosed location.

You need to put this

ski mask on, all right?

You're safe.

You can take it off.

So Kilo told me that

you're organizing

a big event in DC.

Yeah, we're planning

on getting permits

for 10,000 topless

women to assemble

at the Lincoln Memorial,

and we would love

for you to get involved

in any possible way.

When is it?

We're trying to do it

before the elections.

Hm.

Here's what I can do.

A week before

your event,

I can trigger my teams

to carpet-bomb and tag

the entire

tri-state area.

- Wow.

- Wow.

But there's a problem.

What's the problem?

Yeah, what's-

What's your identity?

What's your name?

Free the nipple?

Yeah.

You don't like it?

I mean, it's

a catchy phrase.

I don't mean to offend,

but it's a tagline.

It's not an identity.

You want to know

who I think you are?

Yeah.

Girlrillaz.

I love it.

F***ing brilliant.

[rock music]

Basia, per favore.

I am aware that the Vatican

are accusing my show

of being sinful

and blasphemous.

I do not endorse a way of life

but describe one,

and the audience is left

to make its own decisions

and judgment.

This is what I consider

freedom of speech,

freedom of expression,

and freedom of thought.

If you do not believe

in these freedoms,

you, the Catholic church,

are imprisoning

everyone's minds.

I would have

that woman's babies.

Do you think we'll actually

get to Madonna?

If it's in the stars.

Oh, no more quotes.

Ready? Come on.

It's for our DC speech.

All right.

"In a country

where obscenity

"is defined, in large,

by things sexual

"instead of things related

to war and killing and hatred,

what kind of world is that?"

- Who said that?

- Hugh Hefner.

I love it,

but he's a pornographer.

Well, then you're gonna

hate this quote.

"I think the real obscenity

comes from raising our youth

"to believe that sex is bad

and ugly and dirty

"and yet it is heroic

to go spill guts and blood

in the most ghastly manner

in the name of humanity."

Who said that?

Let me finish.

It's Larry Flint.

"But ask yourself

this question.

What is more obscene,

sex or war?"

That's my line.

He stole my line.

You weren't even born

when this speech was made.

Whatever; it's

just a confirmation

of my inspiration.

[sighs]

(With) Every day,

the media plays

glorified images

of violence

instead of showing the-

Fact." over two million

juveniles every year

are incarcerated

for violent crimes.

Fact." on average, 32 people

are killed by handguns

every single day-

Behavioral science shows

that children

under the age of eight

can't tell the difference

between reality and fantasy,

making them vulnerable

to adopting the violence-

Kids like to imitate

their heroes,

and so many of our heroes

solve problems

through killing and violence.

[moans]

Uh!

[laughs]

Don't.

Wake up.

When did you

go to bed?

4:
00 or 5:00.

Ugh!

Mm-hmm.

I finished my speech.

Really?

- Do you want to read it?

- Yes.

Can we do it outside, though?

I need nature.

I love this.

I love this.

Which one?

"Democracy don't

rule the world.

"You better get that

in your head.

"This world is ruled

by violence,

but I guess that's

better left unsaid."

Dylan.

I love it.

- You do?

- Yes.

- You mean it?

- Yes!

[indistinct chatter]

Incoming!

- Whoa!

- Here it is.

A little surprise.

A little homage to our

sisters in P*ssy Riot.

Oh, sh*t.

[punk rock music]

II:

Free the nipple!

Free the nipple!

Hey!

Free the nipple!

II:

Nipple!

Hey, this guy!

You know what I read?

I read once that if

you take the best orgasm

you've ever had, right?

And you multiply it

times 100,

it's literally

a drop in the bucket

compared to the bliss you

feel from enlightenment.

Well, no wonder

organized religions

hate pleasure

for pleasures sake.

You can't generalize

religion.

Yes, I can;

they demonize it.

They make you feel

guilty about it.

My entire childhood,

I thought that God

was up there

watching me f*** myself

in my bathtub.

[both laughing]

Why are you so obsessed

with masturbating?

I'm not obsessed.

I just need a variety

of ways to get turned on.

- Huh.

- For example.

I have started

masturbating

to videos of myself

masturbating.

Like this masturbation

via feedback loop.

- No way.

- Yeah. It's amazing.

I actually came.

Like ejaculated.

Stop.

You've never

ejaculated before?

Oh, my God.

Stop.

You're making

this sh*t up.

- You really are.

- No, I'm not.

I swear.

It's amazing.

So hang on.

Let me-let me ask

you a question.

Yeah.

So you-you

masturbate

to videos of yourself

masturbating.

Yes.

It is so narcissistic,

but it totally works.

Jesus Christ!

F***ing douche-bag.

We're talking

about orgasms!

Orgasms!

Yeah, if we can actually,

like, collaborate

and morph it into one event,

that would be amazing.

Yeah; I think

that would be so disruptive.

Thank you.

Oh, my God.

Spencer, you have no idea.

You are my God today!

Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Okay. Yeah.

We'll send you

all the information.

Okay. Bye.

nympho!

Get your ass in here!

I On chaniaii peiii saucisson!

Come here.

[singing]

Oh, my God.

- What?

- We are so lucky.

You know who just

contacted me right now'?

- Who?

- SpencerTunick.

Amazing.

He's huge.

So he's gonna be

collaborating with us.

Kick ass!

[inhales sharply and sighs]

Oh, I thought we were gonna

do the other one from now on.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh. Okay.

Uh, you go like this.

Yeah.

Oh.

- Got your fingers.

- Yeah.

[both laughing]

[Liv singing in French]

[phone ringing]

Oh. Jim Black.

Oh. Whoa.

Hello?

(Jim) With, they aren't

gonna give us the permits.

Wh-what do you mean?

I thought you said

you could do this.

Pm sorry.

I tried.

I couldn't convince them.

The museum's afraid

it will endanger their budget.

Pm sorry, With.

wish I had better news.

All right.

I have to figure

something out, Jim.

Bye.

What?

We lost the permits.

What?

It's over.

I f***ed this up.

It's okay, okay?

We'll figure

something else out.

You know?

Forget DC.

This is all my fault.

[sighs]

With, look at me.

Look at me.

I feel like I'm letting

everybody down, you know?

You didn't let me down.

Sorry.

It's-um.

I don't know

why I did that.

That was really weird.

I wasn't, like, um,

planning on doing that

or anything.

Where are you going?

Uh, I'm going out.

With, you still have

a towel on your head.

And you're-you're

not wearing shoes.

[laughs]

Sorry.

Cali, who's your

contact in DC?

Give me the number.

I want to call them.

What is it that you think

you're going to accomplish?

Cali, please

give me the number.

Look; I don't know how many
