The first 200 lines.
Hello, my name is Vince and I'm an addict.
- I'm ready to get on with my life. - ( Crowd cheers )
Did you guys get caught up in that whole mining disaster?
I really think there's a movie in it, and I want to direct it too.
I miss you. I want to come home.
- I'm not ready. - Tell me what that means.
I've been seeing someone.
I've been in lockdown for three months. I need some excitement.
"Johnny Bananas" is a beast, bro.
It's funny, it's got heart. Billy's killing it.
Doesn't seem like E's having fun.
Why are you pissed at me and nobody else?
- You don't like my movie idea. - No, I hate it.
Vince is having like a heart attack or something!
None of this is real and none of you are being real.
- If everyone thinks my movie idea sucks-- - If it was on a network
and Drama was the American, I'd love it.
- I love that. - So do I.
- Anybody smell smoke? - ( Siren wailing )
I gotta tell you-- hotel living ain't all bad.
Yeah, especially when you're not paying for any of it.
Who are you judging? You're not paying for it either.
- But I offered to. - So did I.
But Vince knew how traumatized I was
from burning down the house, didn't wanna make me feel worse.
- That makes a lot of sense. - ( Knocks on door )
- Yo. - Yo.
Why you dressed like it's '04?
All my clothes burned up in the fire.
Why are you dressed for a bisexual paintball tournament
- is a better question. - Agreed.
Bisexual? This shirt is mad hetero.
Look at these pythons.
You can clearly see I'm hiding an eight-pack under it.
You haven't had an eight-pack to hide since the early '70s, Drama.
- If then. - Whatever.
- How's baby bro? - Baby bro could not be better, Johnny.
- Good morning to all. - All: Morning.
- You sleep? - Not a wink.
- Weird shirt, Johnny. - Really?
- Turtle: What have you got there, Vin? - A script.
- For what? - Johnny's movie.
- Nice. - You wrote it?
I couldn't sleep. I just had to get it out.
- It's only 20 pages. - It's just an outline.
Johnny: Whatever it is, I love the proactive effort.
- I'm still the lead, right, bro? - Of course you are.
- Nice. - ( Turtle sighs )
- So how's it look? - Your grammar's horrible.
Who cares?
We were in the same classes since we were six.
It's just shocking to me you can't punctuate.
It was all stream of consciousness.
You can't really spell either, Vin.
- "Faithful" is f-a-I-t-h-f-e-l. - No, it isn't.
- It's o-l. - No, it isn't.
- So says you. - Are you guys all illiterate?
Mrs. Carbone would shoot herself if she heard this.
Who cares about my spelling or grammar?
That's not what this is about.
This is about a start-- a good start to a great story.
We're gonna find you a great writer
- to help you flesh this thing out. - I already found one.
- In your room? - I was thinking,
since Billy did such a great job on Johnny's show,
we should give him the first shot at this.
- What do you think? - I like it.
- ( Phone ringing ) - I love it.
The guy knows my voice like Scorsese knows De Niro's.
- ( Chuckles ) - Sloan?
Wow, she must really want you to get your shit out of her place, huh?
I guess so. Hello?
- Hey, Eric. - Hey.
Fuck you!
What'd she say?
- "Fuck you"? - That's harsh.
- Yeah, I'd say. - Can somebody really be that mad
- about leftover socks and underwear? - I don't know.
- At least she called you. - You still haven't gotten ahold of Alex?
One Tequila ad and the girl thinks she's Angelina Jolie.
- She'd share the spotlight with you. - I don't want the spotlight.
- I just want to talk to my girlfriend. - It's tough adjusting
to the attention she's getting. Give her a little more time, Turtle.
Yeah. And what do I do about Sloan?
Well, I'd get my shit out of there before she works herself up
- into an Elin Nordegren state. - I'll go today.
- Vince: Want me to roll with? I'm fine.
I'll just make sure she's not there.
Make sure to leave a mess.
That'll show her not to talk to you like that.
- Good thinking. - I was gonna say jerk off on the bed.
- Yeah, that's even a better idea, Turtle. - All right, off to work.
- Have fun, kids. - ( Eric laughs )
Johnny: Still hard to believe he's got a job.
- Good morning, Ari. - Why are you lying in wait, Lloyd?
I had some things to tell you and wanted to be sure to catch you
- before you got distracted. - Can it wait till I get to my office?
Well, there's two things. I can tell you one now...
- ...And one when we get to your office. - You pregnant?
I'd never carry a baby after all the hard work I've put into this body.
- Speak. - I had my breakfast meeting
- with Steven Levitan this morning. - Congrats.
You gonna be the new gay on "Modern Family"?
No. I'm gonna be the new agent
of one of the biggest showrunners in the business.
- Very impressive. - It's not a done deal.
Well, make it a done deal and I'll pay for the lipo
so you can stop fretting about all that failed dieting.
Keep going.
Well, Mr. Levitan is concerned
that this may not be the smartest place for him,
seeing as how our TV department is kind of defunct.
- Well, tell him it isn't. - I'm not a good liar, Ari.
Truth is, it needs a new head and I'd like to be the one to re-funct it.
- Is that the second thing? - No.
Well, tell that to me and then I'll decide.
- This one is harder to share. - You've got 30 seconds!
My meeting was at Flay's.
Did they take the Ari golden corn tamale off the menu?
- No, it's still there. - What?
Speak or I'll rip your tongue out and serve it to my son's lizard.
Your wife was there also.
- My wife hates that place. - I know.
- That's why I found it strange. - Jake!
Call Flay's and get Robert on the phone. Who was she with?
I didn't see anyone. And she left in a hurry.
I don't think she saw me.
- Wait, what are you gonna do? - I'm gonna do what you should have done:
- Find out who she was with. - They said he's not there.
I want you to call any one of his 50 trillion restaurants
- and when you get him, get me. - Where are you going?
I'm gonna take off. Clear my schedule.
Him too. You're coming with me.
Do you think that's wise given the state of the TV department?
I don't give a fuck about the TV department.
All I care about is who convinced my wife
to go to a restaurant she hates!
Well, if it isn't the balding Kentucky fried chicken.
- You're pissing me off, Ronald! - Why? What did I say?
You told me you had sex with my wife. Ruffy!
I fucking love this.
Kids, get out here!
You having fun with this, Billy?
I'm having the time of my life.
You and Johnny have amazing chemistry,
probably more so than we did in "Medellin."
- Ah, just show it to him. - Show me what?
- Vince wrote a script. - ( Clears throat )
What is it? A short?
- Hey. - Hey.
The producer's come to check on his workers.
Good to see you, Phil.
- What's going on, Eric? Vince. - Show's looking great.
- Right, isn't it? Come on. - Really funny.
- Hey guys, let's call it for today. - Almost a two-hour day.
God, I love this job!
Vince, what do you think? Your brother gonna be a star or what?
I'm loving what I'm seeing, Phil.
- How you doing? - Great.
Yeah? My brother had a meth problem.
It's been a tough road, but he's fighting the fight.
You ever need someone to talk to...
- Thanks. - You got it.
Hey Phil, you like that scene?
- Yeah, it looks great. - ( Both laugh )
Hopefully, an audience will think so as well, huh?
Why wouldn't they?
I'm just saying. We're testing the show this afternoon.
- Came by to let you guys know. - Well, how are you feeling about it?
- How am I feeling about what? - The show, Phil.
I feel confident. Anew, I feel confident.
You know what? Maybe I'm not as confident as you.
Can we come along, maybe see a real audience possibly laugh at this stuff?
That would make me feel more confident. What about you, Drama?
Come on, what happened to you, Andrew, huh?
This guy used to sell out arenas, just him and a Mike.
You know, that was a long time ago and now you got me playing an orangutan.
Now look, we've all been humbled in this group here.
- Well... - But we will all prevail.
- I hear that. - All right. So is that a yes?
Can we come watch?
Yeah, you guys can come. And you-- you can come too.
I'll see you later. I'll send everybody the address.
- Later, Phil. - You got it.
Jerk-off.
Is this exciting stuff or what?
- We're gonna murder "The Simpsons." - It's gonna be great.
- Yo, Christian! - Hey, Drama!
Go fuck yourself.
- What the fuck? - Vince: What'd you do?
- No clue. - Drama, Drama, can I talk to you a second?
Guys, we'll be right there, okay? Just a walk.
- What? What? - No no no. No, I think it's really cute
how you and the guys and your manager are like real buddies.
Yeah, we've known each other since we were little kids.
- You trust him? - He's like blood. Why?
My ex-wife made the deal for me on this show
and since the split, I feel exposed, you know?
I mean, if something were to come down,
I don't know if I'd have the faculties to deal with it.
