This way.

- What band is she in?

- Please.

Just be happy we got

a free trip out of it.

I'm happy, of course I am.

I need to piss.

Hold this a sec.

Look, relax.

It'll be fine, all right?

- F***ing hell, mate!

- Sorry.

Easy, tiger.

Harold!

There it is again.

What is that smell?

Fat Willy's barbecue.

I always bring it for Angel.

Angel!

Here you go.

Allow me to introduce

our co-presidents,

Mr. Rusk and Ms. Markinson.

A new app. Amazing.

You know what else is amazing

is actually learning

a foreign language.

Yo quiero Taco Bell, huh?

That's sensational.

Can we get the f***

outta here?

Harold!

- Welcome back.

- Hey.

This is Celerino Sanchez,

our plant manager,

and Roberto Vega,

his right-hand man.

All right,

so you we need to talk to.

Okay.

You, we don't.

My office is this way.

Right.

- Sorry.

- No problem, Harold.

Please have a seat.

- Thank you.

- Harold,

just sit this one out,

and I'll come

get you after, okay?

Holy f***.

Do they not sell

condoms down here?

Okay, Sanchez.

Do you wanna tell me

what that is?

- It's an inventory report.

- That's right.

What do you think

it's telling me?

Sir, you have to understand...

Oh, just answer

the question, Suarez.

- Sanchez.

- Okay.

The report is telling you

that the inventory is light

as I am still selling

your product to Seor Villegas,

as you requested.

We told you to cut him off.

With all due respect,

that's not the way it works.

Uh, that's exactly

how it works.

I make a product,

I decide who to sell to.

Right?

You get to decide if you want

a future with the company...

Again, con todo respeto,

if I don't continue

to deliver,

I will have no future at all.

When you needed money,

you asked me...

When we needed money, we asked you

to sell some product off the books,

and not say

anything to Harold.

Now, we don't need money.

We're telling you to stop.

I really don't see what is

so difficult to understand-o.

See,

it's a sensitive time

- for the company now.

- Yes!

We're gonna have some people

coming down here,

and they're gonna

look things over.

And we wanna make sure that

everything is in order.

I understand,

but Seor Villegas

is expecting

his usual shipment.

The Black Panther

is not someone to mess with.

You can't scare me with tales

of the big, bad cartels,

all right?

- I know how things work.

- Not in Mexico.

Well, as far as I'm concerned,

we're not in Mexico.

This is an American company

making an American product,

and I'm telling you,

in American,

to make sure

that the inventory's right.

Yes. I mean, if you can

take care of 35 kids,

I think you can handle

one drug dealer.

- No?

- Comprende?

- Okay.

- Let's go.

Gracias. Adis.

Have a nice day.

Harold, let's go.

Harold,

just so you know,

the inventory thing

worried us.

That's why we came down here

to speak to Sanchez,

just to make sure everything

was on the up and up.

- It's no reflection on you.

- No, certainly not.

You know we value your work.

I was starting to think

it might be something else.

Well, you're hearing things.

He's hearing things.

Harold, when I was

in junior high,

a rumor went around that

I let the lacrosse team

pull a train on me in

the Dairy Queen parking lot.

I hated the lacrosse team.

They were the biggest

bunch of WASPy,

turtle-dicked ass pirates

I ever met in my entire life.

- Here you are, seor.

- Thank you.

And I'd rather give

that waiter a rim job

than eat at a f***ing

Dairy Queen.

- What's a rim job?

- It's when...

Don't believe

everything you hear,

is probably

the point here, right?

Exactly.

You're gonna be fine.

We're not selling the company.

All right?

I'll be right back.

I don't think

he knows anything.

- I almost feel bad for the guy.

- Right.

Someone should put him

out of his misery.

Seriously.

No, I mean literally.

Someone should literally put

him out of his f***ing misery.

Angel.

You can go.

I will see you maana.

Okay.

But when they married

each other, she was a fatty.

She was, like,

50 pounds heavier than she is today.

I was like,

"Don't do it!"

Fat people are so funny.

- Gracias.

- You wanna come to my room tonight?

Yeah, I'm really tired.

- Hey, buddy.

- What did I miss?

I'm gonna check some e-mails,

and maybe hit the sauna,

after I punch out

a little CrossFit.

Then I'll see you guys

in the morning.

You sure?

Do you...

You know,

I'm gonna crash, too.

It's gonna be

an early flight, so...

- That's it then.

- Good night.

What is your problem?

You just f***ing left me.

Right.

Someone should

put him out of his misery.

No, I mean literally.

Someone should literally put

him out of his f***ing misery.

Well,

when the sale goes through,

that's the last you're gonna

see of Harold Soyinka.

He is on the 86 list.

Maybe they're gonna

give him severance,

but I just think they're gonna

f***ing clean house.

His wife

must be a real winner.

Actually, she is.

But when they married

each other, she was a fatty.

She was, like,

50 pounds heavier than she is today.

Okay.

Richard is supposed

to be my friend.

- It's unbelievable!

- Just unbelievable!

You have

every right to be upset.

I swear...

I know I'm not supposed to

touch the mini-bar,

but I'm going to do it!

You know,

I don't even care anymore!

I'm doing it!

I'm having the Merlot!

I feel horrible.

I should've told you

to your face.

What should you have

told me to my face?

- The e-mail.

- What e-mail?

Just go ahead

with what you were saying.

No, no, no.

What should you have told me?

You know the invisible

gorilla experiment, Harold?

Why is everyone talking about

gorillas all of a sudden?

There's this video, right?

Some people in black shirts,

some people in white shirts.

And you have to count

how many times

the people in white shirts

pass this ball back and forth.

This person in a gorilla suit

walks in the middle

of the group.

The experiment

is whether or not

you're so focused

on the ball

that you miss the gorilla.

You would've been part

of the group that missed it.

Missed what?

I'm having an affair.

I'm leaving you.

That's what the e-mail says.

You didn't notice the gorilla.

So,

the affair is the gorilla?

Yes.

What is the ball?

Is our marriage the ball?

I don't know what the ball is.

I'm not supposed to be

looking for gorillas, Bonnie.

I'm supposed to be

watching the ball.

That's my job.

Sorry!

Why am I always getting

screwed for doing my job!

Tell me who it is.

I want to know!

Who is the gorilla, Bonnie?

- I'm sorry.

- Bonnie!

Bonnie!

You have reached

the voicemail box of Bonnie.

At the tone, please record

your voice message.

Ugh!

No?

Psst.

- Still not answering.

- What?

Not like him at all.

I'm not waiting

for this dipshit.

Can you just get in the car?

No wait-o for dipshit-o.

Yeah, we're gonna...

Andelay!

I go to look?

- Yeah. Can you?

- Okay.

- Okay, seor.

- Perfect.

Butler.
