The first one,

the one you threw away, TriTek.

- Are you sure you're listening?

- Yes, Daddy sure is listening,

but come on, we got to go. Let's go.

Kupida and Mopida really like it.

- You know why?

- Why is that?

- Because it has buried treasure.

- Yeah? Okay.

- You aren't listening.

- No, no, Daddy's listening.

Okay, so, we're here,

and we're going in.

And there's something

you have to go without.

Hey, come on, come on,

Olivia, let's go, let's go.

- Liv! How are you?

- Hi!

- Give me five.

- Put her there. Put her there.

Okay, guys, l got, like,

three meetings back to back.

She's just gonna sit down here

and get settled down here.

Let's get settled in. All right.

- Mike, which one can l get rid of?

- Well...

That one.

No. You don't say that one.

That's sacrilege.

That's Dante D'Enzo.

We never get rid of Dante D'Enzo.

- Kupida says he's boring.

- Well, Kupida is estpida.

Because he happens to be one of

the greatest investors on the planet.

- No, he's boring.

- No, no.

Why am l standing here

arguing with you about Kupida?

Let me get something for you to watch.

There you go. There's the...

What's that? Barney.

Okay, look, can you watch my kid for

me? You have my back for me, Mike?

Watch that Barney and l'll be...

That's not Barney. That's Blue.

And now I'm going to tap your knee

very gentIy...

Did you see that?

...by increasing your family's holdings

in optical fiber.

lf you take a look at these charts here

on page six in your folders...

Granted, Solocom looks solid,

but if you pore over the financials,

it's crystal clear,

the smart play here is Digital Fiber.

- Kupida says no.

- Okay.

- No.

- Let's move on Digital Fiber.

l'm sorry. Don't move on Digital Fiber?

Oh, no. Yes, yes. Do go, yes. No.

- No?

- Yes. Yes, go, yes.

- Mother?

- Tom?

Johnny?

Perhaps you have something to add?

Not really. lt's good work from Evan.

Digital Fiber. Solocom.

l struggled with it myself last night.

l went to sleep convinced

l was gonna take

the Pressman family towards

that pretty face, Solocom.

But in the middle of the night,

the dream sparrow comes to me.

She taps me on the forehead and says,

"Wake up, handsome brave.

"There's something happening

in Uzbekistan."

"Uzbeka-what?

"lt's 4:
30 in the morning, little friend.

l'm sleeping."

But she said there's a kalacampi,

the worm hidden in the apple.

And l let the dream sparrow fly away.

- The dream sparrow.

- But l investigated what she said

on the white fire grid

you people call the lnternet.

At 4:
15 this morning,

Mountain Standard Time,

the Uzbeki government

followed through on a series of threats

to detonate a nuclear weapon. Boom.

Digital Fiber, Solocom,

all of their underground cabling

that they were relying upon,

lost in that mushroom cloud.

Do l blame Uzbekistan? No.

Defend yourself, mountain republic,

just like you said you would.

You followed through.

But 200 miles south, in Turkmenistan,

a little company called TriTek,

didn't look like much to me yesterday,

but today, their 6,000 miles of

already-buried underground cabling,

looking a lot more valuable.

TriTek, baby. l say we go into TriTek.

- Let's keep our fingers crossed, huh?

- Okay.

Evan, you mind if l sit in on your 11:00?

Well, Johnny, that's not up to me.

That's up to the client.

So it's cool?

Because l checked with the client,

and they said it's okay.

That's great. That's great.

Hey, ain't nothing but a thing.

The herd moves on,

but you're going to be fine, little elk.

You're going to be just fine.

One sky, man.

One sky.

l didn't realize you guys were so tight.

You know what l want you to do

for me, Tod?

Go down to legal

and check something out for me. Okay?

l want to know

what the ramifications are

if l were to stab Johnny Whitefeather.

- Daddy!

- Not now, sweetie.

- But, Daddy!

- Hey, not now.

And listen to me, Liv.

This is where Daddy works.

You cannot come down here

and stand outside my meetings

and flail your arms around.

- Rose!

- Yeah.

Can you take Olivia downstairs

and get her a muffin or something?

- Are you hungry, honey?

- No.

l don't think she's hungry.

She's starving. l can see that.

Come on. Here we go.

Let's go get a muffin.

Have some girl talk.

- Hey, Ev.

- Hey, give me a second, Noah.

l'm trying to find my notes for the 11:00.

Actually, it pertains to the 11:00.

Quickly, two things.

First, Johnny has just asked me

to join his tribe.

l can't believe it.

He actually calls his team a tribe.

Yeah, it's stupid.

- And you said yes, didn't you?

- No, no, absolutely not, at first.

But then he put

so much pressure on me.

He needed an answer immediately. So...

lt's all well and good, Noah.

But thanks for your loyalty, all right.

Now if you don't mind, l gotta get ready

in about 10 minutes, so if you'd be so...

That's the other thing.

About the 11:
00, Johnny moved it up.

He had a conflict at 11:00.

Johnny moved my meeting

with my clients?

Yeah. lt started at 10:30,

so l popped in here as a courtesy to you,

because we were so tight for so long.

And thank you so much for hiring me.

- Out!

- Okay, l gotta go.

Rose!

Where are my notes for the 11:00?

- Sorry. l think they're in there.

- They're not in there.

Mr. D, l talked to the lawyer guy upstairs

and he confirmed my hunch

about the whole stabbing

Mr. Whitefeather thing.

lt's a definite no-can-do

from a legal standpoint.

- Go away, Tod. Go very far away.

- Yes. Right.

l can't find them.

Well, they're here somewhere, Rose.

Please, l can't make it happen

without my notes.

- Find my notes. Please.

- Okay. Okay. Okay.

All of a sudden, l'm late for a meeting

that l was early for in the first place.

All right. lt's all right.

We're gonna find them.

Oh, my God.

Did you draw on my worksheets?

- Qwali said l could.

- Qwali said you could?

Qwali said you could.

But let me tell you something, Olivia.

l'm getting ready to go into

a meeting with grown people.

They're gonna be judging Daddy,

and all of a sudden,

my worksheets have

pictures of flowers and sparkly stuff

and, what is this,

people kissing or something?

Kupida says they might get married.

And why is this sticky?

Why is this so sticky?

lt's sparkle glue. Sparkly.

This is a disaster.

- A horror show.

- Live.

Love. Laugh. Walahala!

Live. Love. Laugh. Walahala!

l have never, guys,

l have never felt so jazzed

about the prospects of our pension fund!

l mean it. l am jazzed!

l wish l could take credit, Fred,

but we gotta give that to the Walahala,

Mr. Waterfall.

Hey, rain down prosperity!

- And how.

- Thank you, Johnny!

Evan. Everybody,

you remember Evan Danielson.

l would hope so, after seven years

of working with you guys.

Yeah. Of course.

How's it going there, Evan?

Good to see you.

Hey, look, while we were waiting for you,

Mr. Whitefeather, he made some rather

radical suggestions, as you can see.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.
