Okay, let's just get that

right out of the way.

And can Ijust say?

This man is a superstar.

Did I tell you that already?

He single-handedly

got me excited about this,

and I don't get exciied easy.

Yeah, that's Daniel.

Thanks, Mr. Drazen.

Now, let me tell you

why this deal still isn't gonna happen.

- On.

-(GROANS)

I talked to the board this morning.

We ran the numbers

forward and backward.

And, I mean,

we really wanted to make this work,

but sadly we are just

maxed out right now.

- Damn.

-Yep.

Now, here's what I propose.

We put a pin in it.

All right? We come back next fiscal

when the flow's a little healthier.

- We revisit.

-I like that.

That sounds good, thank you.

Just hang on one second, Daniel.

Um, I won't be able

to sleep tonight if I don't say this,

but there's got to be

some way we can make this work.

Bill, you know, they ran the numbers.

The numbers have been run.

Sorry.

I'm very sorry.

(SIGHS)

Um...

How about if we cut our fee?

All right? 25%.

That's very generous,

but I'm afraid that still won't get it done.

-50%.

-Whoa.

Bill, can we even...

-(SHUSHING)

-All right.

Come on, Kent.

We both know this deal makes sense.

And this guy, I mean, he can deliver.

So, um, Ijustdowt know

how you can say no to this deal.

Mmm-hmm.

(OLIVER EXHALES)

Man, I don't know what to say.

Say yes.

Okay, you got yourself a deal.

BILL:
Yes. Excellent. (CHUCKLES)

OLIVER:
This feels right.

This makes sense.

Wow. You see? Okay, um...

Okay, well,

I'm shaking. (CHUCKLES)

I'm a little shaky as well.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

l'm gonna get

the best champagne this place has.

All right.

- F*** me! That was awesome!

-Wow.

I mean, wejust had a back and forlh

that was like...

ltjust f***ing evolved, you know.

That was great.

- That was great.

-I didn't go too far, did l?

- I mean, that felt natural to me.

-Yeah, I mean, you know,

the part where you accepted the deal

might have been a little bit.

- Yeah' but Dan, it was real.

-Oh, yeah.

If I said no,

it would've been false, totally false.

He would have seen right through it.

Maybe. I mean...

I was buying the whole

out-of-cash argument.

God! It was f***ing good, man.

No, well, I mean...

Nah, nah, nah, Dan. That's fine.

You get to look great. Nobody gets hurt.

Well, Bill...

What? You kidding me? Look at him.

He's having the time of his life.

Guy couldn't be happier.

- Yeah.

-Come on, look.

We're in the catbird seat. Okay?

We can pull the plug whenever we want.

Either way there's no deal.

Just get that in your head.

- No deal.

-Okay.

Why not let it sit for a little bit?

Have a little fun with it. l dont know.

- You know?

-Yeah.

- I mean, maybe you're right.

-Maybe I'm right?

F*** you. Damn right I'm right.

Damn right l'm right.

Now, we're gonna celebrate.

- Okay.

-We're gonna drink some bubbly.

- Yes, and then...

- And have a good time.

Tomorrow you call him and say...

Yeah, whatever, we don't wanna do it.

Yeah'

A week from now, we'll do it tomorrow,

but right now,

we're not gonna think about it.

Probably the sooner the better, but hey!

Were gonna celebrate, right?

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

(LAUGHING)

- You don'i know who that is?

-WOMAN:
I don't.

DAN:
You haven't seen

his national commercial spot?

- No.

-Banana Boat.

He's the Banana Boat guy.

- That's the f***ing guy!

-Hey!

That guy is this guy

and this guy is that guy.

(SNORTING)

DAN:
We're friends from high school.

- What's up, A-Time.

-A-Time.

(GRUNTS)

-(BELL RINGS)

Listen, man, just wanted to say it

was a pleasure meeting you,

and I look forward

to doing some biz. Drazen out.

Ah!

a night like that in a long time.

You want some coffee or something?

No, no, I'm good.

Just waking up.

Yeah, my phone died...

Yeah, it was fun.

(SIGHS)

OLIVER:
I texted you.

F*** you.

You're full of sh*t. Check your phone.

Babe, how was it?

(GROANS)

Come on, baby, not again.

It's too early for this sh*t.

Yeah, nothin'.

I gotta...

Just give me a sec.

- My plane.

Hang on a second.

All right, man.

(AIRPLANE DRONING)

FLIGHT ATTENDANT: Mimosa?

Mimosa?

Wow, wow, wow. What a trip, huh?

Closin' that deal like the old days, huh?

Mimosa?

-Yep, here we go.

One of the perks of first-class travel.

You earned it, Dan boy.

Mimosa?

Congratulations.

STACEY:
Bill must be thrilled.

Did you ask for a raise?

Not yet. ltjust happened.

Well, you gotta ask him about it.

This is all because of you.

I know, Iwill.

And what about Lawless?

Did you get him to oome?

What?

Is he gonna come to the reunion?

Possibly.

I mean...

He wants to, but it's a big expense.

Have to fly him out here and put him up.

- STACEY:
What's this'?

-Hmm?

There are no buttons on this shirt.

Hmm. That's weird.

Were there buttons

on there when you bought it?

Yes, lwouldn't

buy a shirt without buttons.

So what goes on now'?

People just try sh*t on

and then throw it on the ground?

Step on stuff and buttons come off,

and they just

put it on the rack and sell it?

(SIGHS) Okay, I'll return it tomorrow.

Are you gonna say somethin'?

'Cause something

needs to be said to the manager.

'Cause that's f***ing bullshit.

OLIVER:
(ON ANSWERING MACHINE)

It's Lawless.

Olli. D-Smooth. What's up, my brother'?

Hey, that was some

f***in' fun ass sh*t out there in LA.

The LA. It's like a great plaoe, sh*t.

So, yeah, give me a call back.

I wanna talk reunion with you.

I'm feeling like the more I think about it,

the lamer it gets, you know.

I don't know, I'm thinking about bailin'

on the whole thing,

to be honest with you.

Who needs to see all those clowns?

So, yeah, give me a call back.

I'll shoot you an SMS as well.

All right. Peace, bro.

Two, three...

What's goin' on here?

What is all this stuff'?

These are brand new computers.

Jop-of-the-line, just what you wanted.

-Oh.

Puttin' the Dan Plan into action.

We're gonna give this office a facelift.

Hip up the place.

Well, thafs great,

but do you think maybe we're getting

ahead of ourselves a little bit'?
