The D Train Page #2

---

Press play for me, Taj.

- OLIVER:
The ocean and the sun.

- And full screen it for me' Taj.

Both beautiful, both deadly.

RANDY; What the f*** is this?

- Is that Oliver Lawless?

-Yes!

DAN:
It's Oliver Lawless.

He's a big Hollywood actor now.

We get Lawless to come,

the whole class will follow.

It's like one of those

bullshit charity events.

They bring out the celebrities.

If Dave Schwimmer goes,

everyone goes.

Look, as chairman

of the alumni committee...

There is no chairman, Dan.

Okay, then how come I am the only one

with the administrator password

to the Facebook page, Lucy?

Because you set it up

and you won't give it to anyone.

Whatever! I'm telling you

he's the answer here, guys.

Okay.

Let's just assume that you're right,

and I'm not sayin' that you are,

but lefsjust, uh...

Let's assume it for a second.

- Okay.

-Hovvre we supposed to get him?

Yeah.

He hasn't responded to anything.

- RANDY:
Nothing.

-Mmm-hmm.

Maybe I should be the one reaching out.

We're old friends.

Um...

You were not friends with Lawless.

0h, was I not, Randy?

Is that why he sent me the video,

'cause we weren't friends?

Well, you could've just recorded it

off your TV.

- CRAIG:
Mmm-hmm.

-RANDY:
That's obviously what he did.

Guys, guys,

we're getting away from the issue here.

Okay, okay,

how 'bout we go to the other issue then.

The one where you're, like, lying

about being friends with Lawless.

I don't need this.

I'm going to get

my friend Oliver Lawless

to come to this reunion

and then we'll see which issue is which.

What?

DAN:
Oliver! What's up, dude?

Haven't seen you in a long time, bm.

Since high school?

Has it been that long? Jeez!

So, looking very likely l'll be headin'

out to the West side on biz.

Thought maybe

we could grab some brews

on the old expense account.

Holler at me, dawg.

You can message me here,

or you can hit me up on my email.

Peace.

D Rock.

Morning, Shelley.

Hey, Dan.

-JERRY:

DAN:
Los Angeles businesses.

Drazen Partners. Voila.

Kent Drazen. Hello, sir.

(KNOCKING)

- Bill, you got a sec?

-Yeah, come on in.

G01 a very exciting prospect.

This firm in LA

just fired their whole team.

I got wind of it. Made a couple of calls.

Ended up havin' a pretty

substantial email exchange

with the CEO, Kent Drazen.

He wants me

to fly out there and meet him.

Here, check out the email. Kent Drazen.

- Well, then I guess...

-He's the CEO.

- I pressed something...

-Here, no problem.

-L'll get it right back.

Please.

- There it is.

-No. Forget it.

- J ust... I don't...

-ls that better? Are you sure?

- No, no.

-You can see it.

Please.

Well, right here,

he says how he likes doing things

the old-fashioned way, faoe to face.

Reminds me ofyou, Bill.

Hmm.

And right here he says, "I would love

to do business with your company."

I mean, that's a strong email.

You have an instinct here, Daniel?

I do. This could be big.

- Let's do it.

-Yeah?

Yeah. You book two tickets. Economy.

Well, uh...

Oh! You want to, uh...

- Yeah, I should meet him.

-Oh, yeah.

Well, I mean,

I hope it doesn't spook him, but...

Well, why would it spook him?

DAN:
Yeah, right.

Well, let me check the airlines.

See if I can grab you a seat.

Thursday flights,

sold out, sold out, sold out.

Cross-checking with

the other carriers. Ugh! Nothing.

And you can see that on the phone?

Yeah, it's a new app.

(SIGHS)

We tried.

Hold on.

Looks like a solo mission this time.

I got an idea. Let mejust call Roselle.

She's been my travel agent...

She's gonna be looking

at the same screen I'm looking at.

Never hurts to try.

I got to tell you, I don't trust the web.

Yeah. Roselle, please.

- ZACH:
You did a soul patch?

-Yeah.

- Zach, don't drag the suitcase.

-Sorry.

This is huge.

You found this guy. Does Bill know that?

Uh, yeah, he knows.

Are you gonna have time

to do anything cool, Dad?

Zach' this is a business trip.

Not a lot of room for dickin' around.

Get the suitcase out, please.

You're gonna kill it. I'm so proud of you.

- Who was doubting himself?

-I was.

- And who told you that you shouldn't?

-You did.

(CHUCKLES)

- I love you.

-Love you.

STACEY:
Daddy's got a business trip.

(PA muss)

FLIGHT ATTENDANT: Ladies and

gentlemen, in just a few minutes

I'll be coming through the cabin

to offer you a selection

from our beverage service.

This is a nice plane.

Yeah. Glad Roselle was able

to get you a seat.

0h, yeah, right away.

I told you, online, it's a crapshoot.

I want to go over the itinerary

just once more with you.

OKHY-

We land at 4:

There should be a Marathon

Rent-a-Car shuttle at baggage claim.

We go, we walk...

- You okay?

"Hmm?

Are you nervous?

Uh, no.

I haven't heard from Drazen actually.

Ever since I emailed him

that you were joining.

- Uh-oh.

-Yeah.

Listen, next time you email him,

can you add me to it?

I've seen those, where there's multiple...

Yeah, the thing about that is

if it doesn't start as a group thing...

- Mmm-hmm.

-...it's tough to add someone later.

Well, that makes sense.
