Party Down

when you hire a party down catering team?

At party down,we have a simple motto:

It's your party and you deserve to enjoy it,

but how are you going to enjoy the party if you're worried about

whether the shrimp cocktail's been sitting out too long

or if there's enough ice or do the guests think the party's lame,

or are people stealing stuff,or going through the medicine cabinets

because they're nosy or because they might find something

that'll give'em a rockin' buzz.

I used to do that last thing,not anymore.

Clean and sober.

Um wow,that that is quite a motto,mr...donald.

Ron donald.

Ron donald,nice to meet you.

Hey okay no,no,no-- why do they do these things so tight?

Okay no,no,no.Look at this.

Clean stick.

There will be no frowns today.

Okay leave the frowning to us.

Hey that should be part of our motto,what do you think?

Mr.Donald,you are...

efficient.

It seems like you've got your client feedback card already written!

Okay people,eyes forward,we've got a lot to cover.

Chill,buzz kill!

-You ain't my moms. -They'll tear you a new one,t--

okay people eyes forward.

-Think I ain't privy to that info? -Privy.

Privy to that info.

That's why they call it the palisades,bro--

okay,kyle you really have to come into that moment.

You know what gene hackman said to me.

When we were shooting "lucky lady?

-He said you should be committed--" -constance!

He got a callback on the palisades.Ron,we're running the scene--

oh hey well,instead of running the scene how about we run some bruchetta.

Is that...

I took it you guys should take it,

I learned things that blew my mind.

Yeah like what?

"Mexican." Not offensive--

constance,

Terrible.

Right,so,spit it out.

Last thing,guys,your gonna love this,

hostess said we could put out the tip jar tonight--

-oh come on. -I know what you're going to say--

Or,why don't we bet on ourselves?

Bet on success!

Because we always lose.

Uh and maybe we should try harder,how about that?

Don't touch anything.

Watch a pro,okay here we go.

-Move over... -really?

All right,all right,you see this?

You see the grain?

The a-- I wasn't aware a lime had grain,ron but--

you have much to learn young jedi.

The a lime's grain runs north/south.Nipple to nipple.

The way you were doing it was like hack,hack,hack--

I told you three times that I was at improv that is why.

You know what that is?

I will call you back.

Personal business on company time.

Which is what?

-Heartily encouraged? -Forbidden and you're late.

For the second time.

So that's your final warning.

Who's this?What happened to sage?

Oh uh-- sage was caught doing that thing,

so he's been let go.

This is henry pollard.

-Our new team member. -So I just wanna be clear,

sage got five warnings for masturbating in closets?

-Why do we have to say the word? -And I'm on last warning already

even though I've only been late two times?

Hi casey klein.

Ah going for your own look,I see.

Yeah,thought I'd go for a helpful gay pirate kind of thing.

You don't look helpful.

Actually,I learned in sensitivity seminar,

we don't use that word.

Okay,I mean,I'm not,but we don't know who--might be,you know--

-a pirate? -Helpful?

Gay.

Is that little fried chickens?

Gordon,you aren't wearing that?

The guests will be here any minute.

I'm with you,on the shorts,like the motto says,

No kidding.

Sorry,my bad.I got it.

Constance,will you get this man some fried chi--

some appetizers that's not shrimp.

Hi,liddy,super party.

Say hello to my little friend!

So it'll be a chi-poodle,a labra-doodle,

or a golden retroodle-- I like working with hybrids.

Because they surprise you.

Everyday is like having a different dog.

but they're killing my buzz.

You look familiar to me.

-You an actor? -Just one of those faces.

Ordinary fucking people,right?

Your henry,right yeah.

-Roman. -Hey man.

'Cause everyone is completely stupid.
