a collective out of Brooklyn.

- Oh, that's what we do.

- Oh.

Yeah, we're Think Tank

out of Greenpoint, so...

Oh.

We're out of Bushwick.

Donovan, there's something

that you need to see.

So you consider it

really an injustice.

There is no justice

in this town, none.

And what did you do about it?

Well, I wrote a letter

to the federal attorney general,

the ACLU,

the state attorney general,

and the River Reporter.

And what kind of response

did you get?

And I saved them all.

They're all on file.

I save everything.

All the letters,

I have them on file.

Psst, Dave.

For your own protection, right?

Yes, for my own protection.

And what kind of response

did you get?

Hey, hey, guy.

Do you mind?

Sorry.

David, can I talk to you

for a second?

Oh, they're interviewing me,

Donovan.

Let me ask you that again.

What kind of response

did you get?

Nothing.

All right, secret meeting

in the Zipcar... now.

...not respect people

who vote them into office.

- Yeah.

- All of them.

The concerned citizen.

You've... you've...

You're frustrated by the system.

Yeah, there is no system.

This is the United States

of Russia.

I have an interview

set up with Dave.

Oh, great, yeah,

my cousin works at Buzzfeed.

This is gonna put

Thought Manifesto

on the map, dudes.

The car recognizes Larson.

Is it possible to make

any kind of legal claim

on Dave's image?

Like, can we...

No, no.

I don't think so at all.

I don't think that'll work,

sorry.

I was hoping to save this

for Tuesday

when we had momentum

on our side,

but I think the time has come...

for the hoodies.

Are you serious?

It seems like we said

the hoodies were gonna be

a Tuesday thing.

That's a really big step

we're making.

A big step is exactly

what we need right now.

I'm just saying...

There is critically little time

for discussion,

for argument right now.

There's critical little time.

There's critically little time.

Critical little, I think.

It's an adverb modifying...

I think you would agree with me

that it's critical little,

not critically little.

Critically little.

I don't mean to be critical

at this moment.

There is little time.

There is critical little time,

is... doesn't...

Critically, there is

little time.

Then "critical"

doesn't modify "little."

Literally, if we don't...

The time critically;

it's the littleness.

You're getting

very angry right now.

The gentleman is out of order.

The gentleman will obey

the rules of the car.

Sorry, fine, fine.

The floor... the car

recognizes Babatunde.

- Thank you.

- F***.

Thank you.

No, he said the car

recognizes Babatunde.

Babatunde, you are out of order.

- You just...

- Babatunde, you are recognized.

Thank you.

I'm just saying...

The floor recognizes Larson.

Donovan, I am 100%

behind the hoodies.

I also want to just suggest

a muffin.

You're out of order.

How?

- Lars...

- I'm sorry.

Is there any way...

Larson is out of order.

Is there any way that we can...

Babatunde is out of order.

I am raising my hand, sir.

You are raising your voice,

and you are out of order.

You're raising your voice.

There's a lot of negative energy

right now.

The car recognizes

a valid point for Baba...

Oh!

No!

No!

Stop it!

Stop it!

Let's just get

the f***ing hoodies.

Dave?

We got you a hoodie.

Are you looking

for the guy who lives here?

Um, yes, Dave.

They took him into town

to get a mani-pedi.

Hey, by the way,

amazing video.

Let's go back

to the motor lodge.

We need to regroup.

Comrades, we have 48 hours

until Dave Stuben

addresses the world.

What say you?

I could go for a veggie burger.

Does this place get HBO?

You guys!

We have things to do.

Katelyn!

Katelyn, come on,

it's been two f***ing days!

Katelyn!

I'm serious.

If you don't answer the door,

I'm gonna call the cops.

Our Buzzfeed article...

Who are you people?

Dad!

Hey, you must be Katelyn.

What the f*** is going on?

- What?

- What's happening?

Oh, your dad's in town.

He's getting outfitted.

Why?

Why is the news here?

Because of your dad.

They're doing a story on him.

And us.

And who are you people?

Well, I don't presume

to speak for everybody.

But I'm with Brain Box.

We're an advocacy group

out of Brooklyn.

Okay, look,

I don't know what that is.

My dad isn't really

equipped for this, okay?

He, like, doesn't have

the personality.

He's a little off.

Do you understand that?

I know,

but that's why we're here.

He needs us.

We're here to help.

This is insanity.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Guns are not the answer.

This isn't about you, a**hole.

My bong!

Oh.

Dude, did you break something?

Who are you?

I'm Cory Janike...

Motherfuckin' C-to-the-Y!

Huh?

Oh, I know you.

- B*tch.

- Dude.

I heard you had a sex tape

of you and Katelyn Stuben.

Um, no.

Bullshit!

I know you do.

Christian Snyder

said you told him,

and you were gonna show him.

Okay, are you her boyfriend

or something, or...

Where is it?

Okay, dude, it was nothing.

What the f***

do you care anyway?

Jesus Christ, man!

All right, all right,

all right, I have it!

All right, it's on my phone!

Look.

F***, dude.

Katelyn!

Of course.

You f***ing creeps.

Whoa, wait.

I was coming to save you.

I mean, get this

from this a**hole.

Erase it, I mean!

Cory, shut up!

Give me the hammer.

He was, actually.

That is what he was gonna...

Give me the f***ing hammer.

Okay, shh.

What's up with your pops

and the city council?

I can help with your pops,

for reals.

I love you.

Who else has this?

No one, no one.

I swear I'm telling the truth.

No one.

You better be f***ing

telling me the truth,

you piece of sh*t.

I am.

Give me your phone.

Why?

Give me your phone, Cory!

I'll shoot you in the dick.

Okay, sh*t.

It's not even on there.

Holy sh*t.

Okay, sh*t.

Yo, what the...

Oh, what the f***!

Ugh!

I hate you.

What the f***, man?

I hate you!

Katelyn!

Katelyn, I was

telling you the truth.

Katelyn, I was trying

to get rid of it.

I'm serious!

Katelyn!

F***!

Really?

Not even one car?

I'm just afraid

it's gonna get chaotic.

You know, screaming

and who knows what.

Well, I don't know what else

to do, Tom, okay?

You know, there's news crews.

There's these web people.

It's crazy.

There's press

all over this thing.

Yeah, you've seen it.

National.

All right.

Megyn!

Ma'am.

Get on the phone, call.

Get me some extra security

for tonight.

You want guns?

What?

No, people.

Security people, guards,

whatever they're called.

Call, get me some extra

for tonight.

Yes, ma'am.

- Oh, Megyn.

- Yes, ma'am.

Call that Tour de Force

nail salon.

Make me an appointment.

Ma'am?

CNN is coming.

I want to look presentable.

He should be here any minute.

Be ready.

Hi, I'm Katelyn Stuben.

Hi.

I'm Dave's daughter.

Hm?

Dave, his daughter.

You know, the guy

that all this is for?

I'm his daughter.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah.

He's quite a man.

Yes, he is.

Oh, thank you so much for
