that I'm interested in producing, okay?

Female-centric comedies.

George writes women

really well.

My love interest

is a great part.

Yeah, I mean I wouldn't exactly say

it's a female-centric comedy, but...

I totally agree.

Okay, forget women.

Here's something else that

might work for you guys.

What about a found footage

love story, you know?

I mean, like, no one's

ever done that before.

You mean, like somebody found

footage of Sam and Jane's love story?

I mean, why would

they have been...

Filming themselves.

Filming, yeah, exactly.

I have no idea, you know.

Just a thought. Just a thought.

All right.

The last thing I'm into,

an awards movie,

you know?

Like, a really good movie.

You know what I mean?

Like they used to make.

We would love to make

a really good movie.

Yes!

Yeah?

Yeah!

Beautiful, beautiful.

All right, that's

what we're gonna do.

We're gonna

make a great movie.

So where are we

on the script?

I'm about halfway through.

I think it's coming

along really well.

Good, good, okay.

I watched the short

again last night.

I made some

really great notes.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

I'm sorry, guys.

I gotta take this, one sec.

No problem.

Go for J. Yes,

I saw the email, but...

George, what are you doing?

Shut up, Teddy, I have to!

Stop it.

"Try setting in

the South somewhere."

"More American Sniper?"

It takes place in Brooklyn!

It does not say that.

Does it say that?

It does say that!

He's gonna walk back!

"Add dance sequence.

Channing," question mark.

That's what it says.

I gotta go.

George!

Do you believe it says that?

I'm so sorry

about that, guys.

So just a few

quick thoughts here.

You okay?

He had interesting things

to say, George. Like?

Like he wants to help

us get our movie made.

That was incredibly

interesting.

He was a parody

of a movie producer.

I mean, he did

say some crazy sh*t.

What is wrong

with you both?

He's a big deal

and believes in us.

That actually makes

me like us less.

Let's just continue

the conversation, okay?

It was a first meeting.

George, hey.

Would you look

at me? George?

We're on the

same team, okay?

All right, we can

keep talking to him.

But we're not

setting it in the South,

where none of us

have ever been, by the way.

Fine, I agree,

that's not a thing.

What are you doing?

I've never been

in the Pacific!

Okay, you're just gonna...

I'm goin' in.

(GEORGE SIGHS)

You know these things take

forever to happen, right?

I'm just gonna keep writing it

the way we always wanted it to be.

Between us, I kinda took another

little job in the meantime.

I'm just doing it

in my spare time.

Seriously?

Yeah. Somethin' came

my way from WCA.

TEDDY:
No kidding, what's

the job? HARRY:
Guys, come in!

Don't tell Harry.

I won't. What is it?

Because if he found out,

he'd just make it about him.

Just tell me

what it is already.

It's a rewrite

of a thriller.

Anyway, it pays well,

and it's good to have

a backup plan, you know?

What if being three boy

wonders doesn't work out?

Harry has this vision

of the three of us

lined up in tan

suits at Cannes.

Meanwhile, for once,

I'd actually like to be

able to make some money.

Well, just warn me before you tell

him, so I can leave the country.

You know, at some point

you're gonna need to learn

to be less

of a little brother.

I don't have the same sh*t

with him that you do, George.

I guess you support him

sleeping with Alice, then.

Can I not be

the odd man out

because I am the only one

not pining for Alice?

Okay, come on.

We're not goin' there. All

I'm sayin' is iceberg ahead.

'Cause when he changes

his mind about her

or she gets

tired of his sh*t...

Look, all I'm sayin' is we just need to

start lookin' for another place to live.

Which I'll be able to pay

for now because of my job.

I don't wanna

leave Alice's.

I like being

with their family.

Yeah, well, we're gonna

have to leave eventually.

Well, eventually

ain't today, my bro!

Attica! Attica!

Attica!

Well, I'm glad you do.

I mean, I just, I don't know.

I think the dialogue

needs a bit of...

Yeah, well, you wrote it.

YOGA INSTRUCTOR:
And

exhale, let it go. Ooh!

Wonderful.

Hold on, I don't think

we should interrupt.

Yeah.

Okay.

Namaste. I'm Teddy.

Hi.

Hi.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)

No, I'm just kidding.

No, no, I'm doing it...

So tell me about the other

two guys. What are they like?

Okay, well, Teddy used

to work at the Genius Bar

so he's been helping me with

my website, which is awesome.

He's adorable.

And George has really

taken to Isabel.

He encouraged her to submit

a play to a school contest

which has been

amazing for her.

Yeah, hold on a minute.

So I think you're telling me,

that you have free

live-in childcare,

full-time tech

support and sex?

I can't complain.

(BOTH LAUGH)

(JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING)

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Hi.

Hi.

I didn't know

who he was.

He travels with

a huge posse.

I have no...

Yeah, I don't...

And by the way...

I've seen them.

You're just a conduit.

You just channel the energy.

That's Teddy.

Yeah, okay.

So he was staring at him.

The alley, or...

Alternate reality.

Oh, my gosh, okay.

Credits, so, Mad Youth.

And then...

Hi there, excuse me.

Yeah.

TEDDY:
Could you

tell me where this is?

Yeah, we're cool, man.

Oh, my God, that's so funny.

The whole time.

So you like that?

That's amazing.

Oh, thanks.

Great job.

Can I get a reward?

Yeah.

I think you should bring Harry

to my dinner party tomorrow.

What? No, no.

It'd be good to take him for a

spin in the real world, you know?

Where the lights aren't so dim

and the sheets aren't so soft.

Okay, well, we

are not there yet.

That feels like a lot.

Why is it a lot?

Seems like the perfect chance

to show off your new boyfriend.

He's not my boyfriend.

What is he, then?

I don't know. He's young.

And I might feel

too self-conscious.

Well, all the single guys

we know date women that age.

They're not self-conscious.

Well, that's true.

Come on, bring him.

Okay, maybe. Maybe.

(CHUCKLES)

This is just gonna

take a second.

Why are the gates open?

Hmm.

Hey, is Zoey here?

Uh, she'll be back soon.

Can I help you?

I just have these pillows

for the playroom.

Oh, okay,

I can take it.

And you're?

Oh, I'm sort of her decorator.

Really?

Yeah.

I'm sort of her decorator.

Oh, right.

She said there was someone she kind

of had creative differences with.

Yeah. I quit,

if that's what you mean.

But she begged

me to come back.

I mean she made me

an offer I couldn't refuse.

Sorry, I didn't know that

she hired someone else.

She said she was desperate.

"Desperate"? What did she

say when you called her?

She was talking a million miles a minute

like she had one too many green juices.

And she said,

"This other woman made

her feel more comfortable

"because she'd worked

with her for years."

And then she said, "I'll
