from that door.

You're gonna be hauling ass

over to the security office,

and you're gonna be wiping all

the security footage clean,

wearing a sexy,

tiny Japanese anime number.

Brock rappels down

the air vent.

He unlocks the door

for me and Keith.

We crack the safe,

we load up all the bags

and get the heck outta there.

We meet at the getaway car,

Lee Harvey Oswald's

favorite target practice,

a cherry Lincoln Continental.

- Hold up.

- (GUNSHOTS)

I'm not happy about being

on security detail,

but I'll do it.

But you're in

for the outfits, right?

Problem is,

if we wipe the security cams,

we can't keep track of Adam

King and Gil on the floor.

Not a problem.

We got Brock in the air vents.

Cover all our asses.

Where are these cars

coming from?

It's my plan, man.

I get to pick the cars.

Hey, I got an idea.

Why don't we

just take a shuttle bus?

This plan you speak of

is full of holes.

- Shut up, Matt.

- (MUMBLES)

However, I think

we can really do this.

Guys, we gonna do this?

I'm in.

I'm in.

It's like the tip of my cock

in your ass, Matt.

I'm in.

Yes!

We still need one more person

just to keep their

eyes on Gil.

And King.

I have an idea.

- I really should've been Obama.

- Why?

I don't know, it looks like

they outsourced Trump's hands.

Where the hell is Brock?

Right here.

What, this old thing?

(LAUGHS)

Watch it.

SID:
Kirby taught me...

There's our guy.

How to be more dramatic,

how to make things

bigger than life,

and he was absolutely right.

Kirby was a wonderful man.

I mean, he taught me so much.

Um, Sid, hi.

- Allie bear.

- Rrr.

Hi. Love this disguise.

It's a Louise Brooks

sort of goth nerd?

It's Louise Brooks-ish, yeah.

Everybody, this is my favorite

artist working today,

Allison McNealy,

and she is great.

Oh, by the way, great work

on your book Battle Worlds.

It's fantastic. Great, kiddo.

Thanks.

Thank you, Sid.

Willie Nelson

is playing a concert.

Sorry, hon.

I'm a little deaf.

Willie Nelson

is playing a concert.

This is... That's Vietnam,

so you have to speak loud.

We've got great weed.

Guys, back in 20!

How much of this sh*t

have you kids been smoking?

KEITH:
Not enough.

Whoa!

Hey, you're in Silicon Valley.

- Parks and Rec.

- Oh, that's not as funny.

I mean, it's still good.

I guess it's good.

Sid, come on,

what do you think?

- You in?

- I don't know, folks.

I'm still trying to wrap

my head around this thing.

Which does not make it

not the right thing to do.

I have a longer, darker

history with Adam King

than you kids know about.

Back in '79,

my lovely ex-wife,

God rest her soul,

warned me

that he was gonna screw me

on the Future Force TV deal,

which he did.

Had to fight for years

to get the rights back,

spent a small fortune

doing it.

Now I just wanna

share stories with fans,

and not with the inmates

of cell block D.

I grew up reading your comics,

Mr. Newberry.

What made your comics great

wasn't the superheroes.

Your books were about

human morality

wrapped in a superhero cape.

When those pages

were open, man,

I didn't think about

being the weird kid,

I didn't think about Tito Lopez

kicking my ass in the fourth grade.

When I was reading your books,

I wasn't alone.

That's it. The people

who come to these cons,

and I'm talking about

all of us,

this is where

we don't feel alone.

The Adam Kings of the world?

The Gils?

They're robbing that from us.

They overcharge,

and they treat the fans

like sh*t.

Sid...

We wanna take it back

for the fans.

You know, either this grass

is really, really good,

or this kid just

monologued me.

Sid.

Listen, that was very good.

I wish I had a pen.

Sid, is that a yes?

Is that a yes?

You're great kids,

and Adam King is

an incredible a**hole,

but unfortunately,

he makes up a major part

of my retirement income,

so you see,

he's my necessary evil.

Let's do another book soon.

Good luck, guys.

Sid...

Can you at least

think about it?

Not if I smoke

any more of that weed.

I'm gonna go play

some Allman Brothers.

- (GLASS BREAKS)

- Oops, sorry.

Thought this was

the hentai room.

(DOOR CLOSES)

(SIGHS)

Dare I ask about a plan D?

Who has a plan D?

Obviously not you.

Oh, oh, Mr. King!

Mr. King!

Mr. King, can I please

have your autograph?

Sure, big guy, anything

for a Future Force fan.

- You're my hero.

- (KING LAUGHS)

- Oh, I love your work, man.

- I bet you do.

It's pretty good,

isn't it? Yeah.

All right, there ya go.

75 bucks, bro.

Oh, my sister's

at the restaurant.

I don't have any money.

I just thought you could

give it for me for free.

Oh, I don't...

I just thought...

Golden Guardian doesn't

work for free, kid.

You can have this when you go

into your sister's purse,

steal 75 bucks.

Got it right here for ya,

all right?

Yeah. Let's go, babe.

Bye-bye now.

Oh.

Think fast.

I can't believe who they

let in these things anymore.

You dick!

(SOBS)

Motherf***er!

ADAM:
Hey, Sid Newberry,

you're still alive, huh?

Good for you, good for you.

You know,

that's not his real name.

Yeah, I can't ride a bike, and

I can't roller-skate either.

(DOOR OPENS)

Sid! I knew you'd come back.

How'd you find us?

I just came in

for some more of that weed.

(LAUGHING)

Thanks.

You know you don't have to keep

on working when you get fired.

Mm. This one's for me.

Really? You made me Adam King?

You're not Adam King.

Golden Guardian,

our fearless leader.

Fearless leader.

That's one thing

I've never been accused of.

Uh-oh.

There it is.

Hey, I feel like you're about

to bestow us some wisdom.

Here's some wisdom.

I just wish you guys

would just f*** already.

- Whoa, whoa.

- Don't do it for me.

Do it for you.

(RAGTIME PLAYING)

KEITH:

I just want you guys to f***.

Just get it out of the way,

and then we can be

all normal again.

Can you believe this is possibly

our last night of freedom?

This is the best night

of my life.

I believe you.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

The night was mighty dark,

so you could hardly see.

And the moon

refused to shine.

There was this couple sitting

underneath the willow tree.

For love...

For love, they pined.

The little maid was

kinda 'fraid of darkness,

so she said,

"I guess I'll go."

The boy began to sigh.

He looked up in the sky,

and he told the moon

his little tale of woe.

He said...

Shine on

Shine on, harvest moon

Up in the sky

I ain't had no loving since

January, February,

June or July

Snow time

Ain't no time to stay

Outdoors and spoon

So shine on

Shine on, harvest moon

For me and my gal, yeah

So shine on

Shine on, harvest moon

Where?

Up in the sky

That's right!

I ain't had no lovin' since

January, February, June

It's so sad!

Snow time

Ain't no time

to stay outdoors and spoon

It leads to forking!

Shine on

Shine on, harvest moon

For me and my gal

MATT:

You know if we get nailed,

I just ruined the lives of four

people I really care about.
