for years, that we're a perfect team,

that we complement each

other really, really well,

and I told him I think that's

a really poor decision,

and that I'm not

comfortable with it.

Okay, but you didn't

tell him no.

No, Darryl,

I didn't tell him no, okay?

I'm getting married,

I'm not in a position

where I can be turning down

jobs right now. All right?

Honestly, I felt I was

as loyal and as insistent

in that situation

as I could have

possibly have been without losing

that job, do you understand?

Yes, man, I was just

saying, making sure.

I mean, that's,

I get it. I get it.

I totally get it.

It's all right, man.

All right, and you know,

on the next film,

me and you are co-editors

the whole way.

And, like, that's still

completely my sincere intention.

- I know it is.

- Okay.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Where'd Darryl go?

He's waiting for me downstairs.

He's gonna go see his girl.

Mmm...

I think I'm gonna

split a cab with him.

And it seems like you two guys

want the place to yourselves.

- Me and Louis?

- Louis and I.

We're friends.

Thanks for having us.

Of course.

Do I get a hug?

Yeah, you get a hug.

All right, I should go.

I'm gonna go.

Have a good night.

Okay.

- Hey man.

- What the f*** you doing here?

I got laid and I couldn't go back to sleep.

So I came in to work.

Thanks. Let's play poker.

What, you're gonna

be mad at me now?

Hmm? I texted you.

Where do we keep the drives?

Keep the drives? I don't keep them

anywhere, man, I leave them right here.

Where are they? I thought you locked

them up overnight, or something.

No.

Did they move 'em

to another room?

No, man.

No.

Adrian!

Adrian!

Adrian!

Rocky Balboa?

Italian Stallion?

I get it.

Dude, go away.

My daughter's napping.

I get her one day a week,

and you're ruining it.

Come on, man,

let us up for a minute, huh?

Let's talk this through

like adults.

Get off my stoop, all right? I

trusted you, and you betrayed me,

you snake in the grass!

Hey, that hurts, man. I

thought me and you were cool.

This is, okay... This is directed

more at Nick than at you, Darryl,

but I've yet to see where

your loyalties lie, okay?

I have to say, for now,

I'm a little disappointed.

Look, Adrian, I don't get paid any

more for being here right now.

Obviously we're here because we

believe in the project, Adrian,

that's why we're here.

Oh, yeah?

So, what, you like the movie?

- Yes!

- A lot of it, yeah.

What do you mean,

"A lot of it"?

Look, how about

I just come up, all right?

Nick will stay down here,

I'll come up

and let's just talk, all right?

How's that sound?

All right, you come up,

all right? Not you.

All right, stay put, bro.

Just me.

Oh, I got an idea,

I just thought of something.

Ready? Keep it still.

Keep it still.

Keep it still.

And...

Okay, move it over.

Yeah, look at that.

That's yours.

Let's write your name.

How do I spell it?

Um, K...

K...

- M...

- M...

R or A?

- A.

- A. Right, A.

KMA, starts with KMA.

So, Kmara?

- B.

- Oh, Kmab, right, of course.

I don't know what it

is with this project,

I just have this massive

case of senioritis.

I just don't give a sh*t about it

at all, and I just, I don't know...

I just can't wait

for it to end.

I don't give a sh*t

about my job either.

I've been, like, online, looking for

this purse that I saw on the street

for the past two hours that I have

absolutely no intention of buying.

How are we gonna support ourselves

forever if neither of us have a job?

Have you thought about that?

We need like a Robert Redford type with

millions of dollars who's willing to, like,

spend it all for one night

with my body.

How many years would that allow

us not to have to work for?

Ten years?

I don't know, five?

Five? With a body like yours,

are you kidding me?

We can get

more than five years.

I would say 10 years.

Fine, 10 years.

Oh, yeah,

I think that's reasonable.

But, you know,

obviously I'd have to insist,

that the sex

be extremely safe sex.

- Yeah, definitely with protection.

- Like, double condoms.

So, for one night,

two condoms, 10 years.

Yeah, that sounds reasonable to me.

I'll sign off on that.

- Okay, cool.

- All right.

Well, I'll hop on Craigslist

when I get home,

and we'll see

what we can cook up.

But you shouldn't forget that your job is

really great and you normally love it.

And it's a really cool job.

That is true.

Yeah, I hate my job, and I

always have, and I really...

I have no idea what else

I want to do.

Hey, Amy, I actually gotta,

I gotta get going.

- Let me call you back in a little while.

- No.

Don't go yet. Come on,

please stay on the phone.

Go find that purse.

I love you, bye.

Bye.

Baby, that is some bullshit.

I know.

You get to work earlier than him every day.

You bust your ass.

Yeah.

And there is one chance

for him to stand up for you,

he takes a job and

basically says "F*** you."

I mean, let's not overreact. What,

is he going to say "no" to work?

He's getting work based off your work.

That doesn't bother you?

Of course it bothers me, that's

why we're talking about this,

it definitely bothers me,

but you know...

What am I supposed to do?

Baby, listen to me.

Some people are just meant to be

in your life to teach you things.

And when that's done,

you gotta move on.

You don't need him.

I'm just telling you, this is gonna be a bigger...

This is gonna be an issue.

Okay, but why didn't

you mention it before?

Because the more I thought about it, the

more it f***ing infuriated me. That's why.

I really hate when you

speak to me like that.

I really hate when you curse.

I'm about to go to the airport.

If we could just talk

about this when I get back,

it would really mean

a lot to me.

Your dad has no business getting

involved in our affairs.

- Okay? Are you listening to me?

- Yes.

And every time he chimes in,

it's your responsibility

to tell him he has no goddamn

idea what he's talking about.

- That's your opinion.

- I know it's my opinion.

Everything coming out of my

mouth right now is my opinion.

If you don't want to sign

the prenup, that's okay,

we have a lot to talk about it.

I just really wish we could do

it in a more civilized way.

You know what? I actually

do want to sign the prenup.

Okay? I do. And you're going

to look like a f***ing idiot

when I'm a director

and I'm rich.

Oh, you're gonna be

a rich director.

I'm sorry,

that changes everything.

That's a real game-changer.

Laugh it up, have fun. You know,

what's gonna be really funny?

When your boss figures out you have no

clue what you're doing at your job.

That you have absolutely no

desire at all to be there.

That's gonna be really funny.

- Have a good business trip.

- F*** you.

- Have a good f***ing business trip.

- Thank you.

- Why don't you go back to sleep?

- Yeah, I will.

I'm gonna sleep

like a f***ing angel.

Hey, Jamie, how's it going?

Good, good. I was just wondering
