The Change-Up Page #3
I'm so strong.
(SHUSHING)
You're choking yourself!
Must wake up.
Wake up!
I can't breathe.
Take my hands off you.
Wake up!
Get the f*** off me!
(EXCLAIMING)
Okay, okay, okay!
(PANTING) Go look
in the mirror. Right there!
All right?
(GROANING)
I'm a douche bag.
I'm a f***ing tool!
Oh! What did you do?
What did I do?
You think I want to be you?
Who said I wanted
to be you?
Holy sh*t, we did.
We wished for
each other's lives
when we were pissing in that
f***ing fountain last night.
We wished we had
each other's lives.
I was just trying
to be nice!
Oh, my God!
(HORN BLARING) MITCH: I know
a shortcut to the fountain.
Go this way.
(TIRES SCREECHING)
Careful! Easy.
I got it.
I got it.
(HORNS BLARING)
DAVE:
What are we going to dowhen we get to the fountain?
We're going to take
a piss in it, or...
I don't give a sh*t.
We're gonna get our lives back.
You've got
to be kidding me.
Hey, where is
the fountain?
It is getting restored.
What are you talking about, restored?
Where did you take it?
I don't know, guy,
I just fill the hole.
I'm not the
fountain spokesman.
Hey, motherf***er...
(EXCLAIMS)
Whoa, whoa, who could
tell us where it is?
Maybe ask the
district manager.
(TIRES SCREECHING)
Nope. It is not
in the computer.
Okay, when will it
be in the computer?
Maybe tomorrow.
That's when Victor gets back.
It's not in the computer,
it's not in the park.
Who is Victor?
The guy that knows how to
find sh*t in the computer.
How can you lose
a fountain?
This is a big deal to us, okay?
I mean, it's a fountain!
Can you look a little bit harder?
That's incredible!
It is not
in the computer.
Yeah, but your attitude
is right on your shoulders.
No, no, no!
There was no
physical contact.
We're okay. We're fine.
We're fine.
I have the biggest meeting in my life in 45 minutes.
This isn't happening.
Did you have something
you wanted to do today?
I've got day one of
my big break movie.
If I don't make this meeting,
I don't make partner,
and the last 15 years of my life,
everything I've done, wasted!
All right, fine,
I'll do it.
I've got it.
I'll do it.
I got you.
Do what?
I'm an actor.
Human chameleon.
I can do lawyer in my f***ing sleep.
Give me the keys.
Oh, you'll play me
in one of your productions?
Yeah, give me the keys.
Okay, no.
Why?
Because you're...
Careful.
Because there's more to being a lawyer
than what you see on TV, Mitch.
Is there?
Yeah.
I object!
Oh, my God.
Okay?
No!
Wrong, my friend. You don't know the
first thing about being a lawyer.
You're not
a trained actor.
Neither are you.
Save it, all right, Dave?
It's one day.
We're Mitch and Dave!
We can do one day of anything.
Give me the keys.
Let's go.
Do you have a better plan?
Sh*t. Okay. All right.
You've got 41 minutes, okay?
Great!
Go to my house, get
dressed in my clothes.
Then you go to my office, find
my legal associate, Sabrina.
Get the merger
documents from her,
take them to
the conference room, and...
Oh, God, the partners
are going to be there.
Listen, do not say
a single word.
What if somebody
asks me a question?
They're not going to
ask you a damn thing.
Once the meeting starts, you
will continue to say nothing.
When a partner asks you
for the merger documents,
you will then
silently hand them over.
I get it. Play it big,
but maintain my reality.
It's pretty simple.
No! You play it small.
I have spent
the last nine months
banging out
the terms of this deal.
The only thing you have to do is
hand over the documents, that's it.
Dude, easy as f***.
You can't say things like
that in the meeting, Mitch.
True. Good note.
For me, you go to my house, okay?
All my info is on my fridge.
When you get to the set,
you go to hair and makeup,
and you learn your lines.
Most of all, do not f***
this up for me, all right?
This is my big break, my Raging Bull.
Do you hear me?
You respect my art,
you respect my life.
You respect mine.
Yeah, I got you. Power hug.
Come on. Yeah, okay.
(EXCLAIMS) Hold on.
You got to pick up Cara.
Pick up Cara from
ballet at 4:
00, okay?I am f***ing all
over that sh*t.
Holy sh*t.
(ELEVATOR DINGS)
Early morning on the
golf course, Lockwood?
Ha-ha! Terrific!
Num-nums!
(LAUGHS) F***ing score!
F***ing grocery store.
Look at all of this
for little Mitchie-poo.
Nice!
Oh, there you are.
I redid the 10-19 variants,
everything else is the same. Ready?
Oh, you must
be Sabrina, huh?
You must be Dave.
Are we role-playing or something?
Because we're late.
He didn't tell me you were
a big, fat, f***ing boner.
Sorry. That was unprofessional.
Wasn't it?
Dave have a mimosa for breakfast?
A little nervous?
That was a joke. Hey...
I've got one really important
question before we go.
All this food here,
is it free?
You got this.
Yeah, I got it.
I got it.
Okay. (LAUGHS)
Let's do this.
All right.
You remember though?
Oh, right.
It's down there. Got it.
(PEOPLE TALKING)
Lockwood.
Yep.
Perhaps you would like to sit
on our side of the table.
Thanks.
FLEMMING:
Now, before weformalize this merger,
are there any outstanding
questions we might address?
Our back-of-the-envelope
analysis
(CHAIR CLICKING LOUDLY) shows your
P&L to be 2% less than expected
as per the MAC clause.
Can I get confirmation
that the EBITDA
still aligns
with comfortable...
Dave?
Dave!
Yes. Dave is here.
Hey, man.
Hey.
Oh, I've got your thing.
Boom!
No, Dave, uh...
Mr. Kinkabe had a question
about the EBITDA.
Okay.
Uh, how is it?
Good.
Good?
What am I saying?
EBITDA is bad.
F***ing terrible.
(ALL MURMURING)
Are you saying the premium
needs to be adjusted?
I didn't say that.
Did you hear
me say it? Nope.
What about our WACC?
Huh? What PPS multiple
are you using?
What's that?
Is the financing still stable?
Hang on, guys.
F***ing 25 guys on this side.
Can you fire at somebody else?
Can anybody else
field the f***ing question?
Dave?
Yep.
It's your job
to know this.
Yeah, and I know that.
You know, we're...
Everything is...
Here is the deal.
We are very rich.
(IMITATING ASIAN ACCENT)
Everybody rich!
So let's sign this.
What's the worst
that can happen? Right?
We will just
roll this party out
to some sushi and
some sake bombs.
Moustache is buying.
And then a little karaoke for dessert?
What have we
got to lose?
Let's bones that.
Huh, 'stache?
KINKABE:
Is thissome kind of joke?
Are you trying to
poison the well?
You are the one on a fishing
expedition, Kinkabe.
You were never serious
about this merger.
KINKABE:
Me?This moron works for you.
You are the one sabotaging it.
F*** you with that...
"Moron" is a bad word here.
This merger is over.
You have just made the biggest
mistake of your career, mister.
I will see you in court. No, no.
What a bunch
of bullshit!
Hang on.
Don't get up.
Is this a break?
Taking a break?
Quick fiver?
