1
00:00:42,084 --> 00:00:45,127
Come on. Die for me. That's it.

2
00:00:45,128 --> 00:00:48,298
Die for me, baby!

3
00:01:16,827 --> 00:01:19,204
So, it's you, huh?

4
00:01:19,997 --> 00:01:23,417
You think you got what it takes to
be the boss.

5
00:01:25,544 --> 00:01:29,380
Shit. Crown's so fucking heavy
it'd break your neck.

6
00:01:29,381 --> 00:01:33,719
I'm the only one keeping us
from being a thing of the past.

7
00:01:39,308 --> 00:01:40,642
You're gonna do good, kid.

8
00:01:42,102 --> 00:01:48,192
You know how I know why?
You had the best teacher there is.

9
00:01:49,234 --> 00:01:51,069
And bang.

10
00:01:52,446 --> 00:01:54,322
- Cut.
- Tail slate.

11
00:01:54,323 --> 00:01:58,743
Yes. Yep. Excellent work.

12
00:01:58,744 --> 00:02:01,078
- Excellent work, man. Good job, Paul.
- I don't know, man.

13
00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:02,830
Am I spitting too much? Is it too spit-y?

14
00:02:02,831 --> 00:02:05,374
No. Hell no.
It's just, like, excellent spit. I'm--

15
00:02:05,375 --> 00:02:07,251
Okay. And what about that...
final look of regret.

16
00:02:07,252 --> 00:02:09,377
I did a little something different
with my eyebrows. Is that reading?

17
00:02:09,378 --> 00:02:13,549
Yeah. I completely saw it. I mean,
hells yes. I saw it. It's excellent.

18
00:02:13,550 --> 00:02:15,218
- Thank you. Okay.
- We're gonna go again.

19
00:02:15,219 --> 00:02:17,345
Maybe try just a little bit
of resignation.

20
00:02:17,346 --> 00:02:18,930
- I like that.
- We're going again.

21
00:02:18,931 --> 00:02:21,724
- So, regret to resignation.
- All right. Stand by to go again, guys.

22
00:02:21,725 --> 00:02:23,851
- Lock it up.
- Yeah. You got it?

23
00:02:23,852 --> 00:02:25,394
- Nice. All right. Let's do it.
- You good?

24
00:02:25,395 --> 00:02:27,230
Hey, guys, I may need a few extra minutes.

25
00:02:27,231 --> 00:02:30,234
The fake blood is fully
in my underpants now. So...

26
00:02:31,735 --> 00:02:34,362
Bloody underpants?
Don't let HR hear about that one.

27
00:02:34,363 --> 00:02:35,613
Tommy, how you doing, man?

28
00:02:35,614 --> 00:02:37,573
- Matt. Hey. Great to see you. Yeah.
- Matt.

29
00:02:37,574 --> 00:02:39,492
This is Matt. He's our studio guy.

30
00:02:39,493 --> 00:02:40,952
Yeah. I'm the exec on the film,
Matt Remick.

31
00:02:40,953 --> 00:02:42,912
- All right. Thanks.
- Such a big fan of yours, Paul.

32
00:02:42,913 --> 00:02:46,457
I love your directing, actually.
You should do that more, you know.

33
00:02:46,458 --> 00:02:48,709
- You saw my film?
- I saw it. I love <i>Wildlife</i>.

34
00:02:48,710 --> 00:02:51,337
It was incredible.
The way you shot it is... It's beautiful.

35
00:02:51,338 --> 00:02:55,967
Hey... Sorry. One sec. What if I went
from regret to resignation to acceptance?

36
00:02:55,968 --> 00:02:57,928
Acceptance. I love it. Show me.

37
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,890
Yes. Yeah. Okay. You good?

38
00:03:02,891 --> 00:03:04,559
- Let's go.
- All right. Let's go again. I love it.

39
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,561
- All right, buddy. Thanks for coming by.
- Yeah, no problem.

40
00:03:06,562 --> 00:03:08,980
I had an idea, actually, that I was
gonna run by you for the scene.

41
00:03:08,981 --> 00:03:10,189
Buddy, we're good on ideas.

42
00:03:10,190 --> 00:03:12,984
Thanks though, but I'll see you
at Charlize's party, right?

43
00:03:12,985 --> 00:03:16,153
Yeah. Of course. I'll see you there.
Why wouldn't I be there?

44
00:03:16,154 --> 00:03:18,490
Great to see you, Paul. Keep it up.

45
00:03:19,157 --> 00:03:21,118
Yep. All right.

46
00:03:22,244 --> 00:03:25,496
Hey, Quinn, was I invited to
some Charlize Theron party this weekend?

47
00:03:25,497 --> 00:03:28,833
What? No. Why would Charlize Theron
invite you to her party?

48
00:03:28,834 --> 00:03:31,586
You're always asking if you're invited
to some celebrity's party

49
00:03:31,587 --> 00:03:34,505
- and the answer's always no.
- Great. Thank you. What do I have now?

50
00:03:34,506 --> 00:03:36,883
- A meeting with the Jenga people.
- Fuck. That's right.

51
00:03:36,884 --> 00:03:39,260
Yesterday was Rubik's Cube but now Jenga?

52
00:03:39,261 --> 00:03:40,553
Patty's the head of the studio.

53
00:03:40,554 --> 00:03:43,556
Her corporate overlords want us to make
more movies based on known brands,

54
00:03:43,557 --> 00:03:45,183
so I gotta take these fucking meetings.

55
00:03:45,184 --> 00:03:47,685
{\an8}So, now what do you do?
You make a Jenga movie?

56
00:03:47,686 --> 00:03:50,646
{\an8}No. You take the meeting and
then you don't make the fucking movie,

57
00:03:50,647 --> 00:03:52,315
and you focus on making
an actual good movie.

58
00:03:52,316 --> 00:03:54,400
Oh, my God. This is so depressing.

59
00:03:54,401 --> 00:03:56,694
I'm, like, 30 years too late
to this fucking industry.

60
00:03:56,695 --> 00:03:58,446
I know. Trust me. If it was up to me,

61
00:03:58,447 --> 00:04:01,866
we'd be focusing on making the
next <i>Rosemary's Baby</i> or <i>Annie Hall</i> or,

62
00:04:01,867 --> 00:04:05,077
you know, some great film
that wasn't directed by a fucking pervert.

63
00:04:05,078 --> 00:04:07,330
- Turns out perverts make great movies.
- They really do.

64
00:04:07,331 --> 00:04:11,000
...building designed
by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1927

65
00:04:11,001 --> 00:04:13,836
in his signature Mayan revival style.

66
00:04:13,837 --> 00:04:17,965
It was built to literally
be a temple of cinema.

67
00:04:17,966 --> 00:04:19,258
Temple of cinema.

68
00:04:19,259 --> 00:04:21,969
And they want me to make movies
out of fucking wooden blocks.

69
00:04:21,970 --> 00:04:23,054
- Yo.
- Hey, what up?

70
00:04:23,055 --> 00:04:24,805
Hey, do I smell?
I didn't go home last night.

71
00:04:24,806 --> 00:04:27,975
Yes. You really smell like vodka.

72
00:04:27,976 --> 00:04:31,103
Just vodka? That's fine.
Got shit-faced with Pedro Pascal.

73
00:04:31,104 --> 00:04:32,939
I got him to sign off
on the reshoots for <i>Mom's Party</i>

74
00:04:32,940 --> 00:04:37,443
but gotta focus. Because Griffin Mill
is here and Patty's MIA.

75
00:04:37,444 --> 00:04:40,863
A CEO showing up
unannounced. Shit is going down, Matt.

76
00:04:40,864 --> 00:04:42,199
It's going down.

77
00:04:42,783 --> 00:04:46,577
Wait. Griffin Mill
is here and no one knows where Patty is?

78
00:04:46,578 --> 00:04:50,748
Yes. I mean, I think it's happening.
Patty's gonzo, she's gotta be.

79
00:04:50,749 --> 00:04:54,043
Ten straight bombs. She gave
all of her dumbass friends overalls.

80
00:04:54,044 --> 00:04:56,462
She spent $30 million
restoring this building.

81
00:04:56,463 --> 00:04:58,005
She's done,

82
00:04:58,006 --> 00:05:00,843
and I kind of feel like
I'm gonna replace her.

83
00:05:02,469 --> 00:05:06,139
I mean, I kind of also feel
as though I could replace her.

84
00:05:07,349 --> 00:05:09,892
Yeah, no. Yeah, of course. You never know.

85
00:05:09,893 --> 00:05:11,894
No matter what,
our friendship cannot be affected.

86
00:05:11,895 --> 00:05:14,313
- Of course. Yeah.
- When it happens, I got you, dawg.

87
00:05:14,314 --> 00:05:15,398
I love you.

88
00:05:15,399 --> 00:05:16,984
Esther Chang, right now. Thank you.

89
00:05:20,529 --> 00:05:23,447
Quinn. You will never believe
what Sal just said.

90
00:05:23,448 --> 00:05:25,950
Patty's fired.
I just talked to her assistant. She's out.

91
00:05:25,951 --> 00:05:28,661
- Oh, my God.
- The story's about to break on <i>Deadline</i>.

92
00:05:28,662 --> 00:05:31,497
Apparently she came to the office a mess
and then just sped off the lot.

93
00:05:31,498 --> 00:05:34,750
Yes! I knew this was gonna happen.

94
00:05:34,751 --> 00:05:39,047
I mean, it's very sad and I love Patty,
but this could be my time.

95
00:05:40,048 --> 00:05:41,591
Does Griffin Mill like you?

96
00:05:41,592 --> 00:05:42,675
Honestly, I don't know.

97
00:05:42,676 --> 00:05:44,760
I've only met him, like,
a couple times since he's been in charge.

98
00:05:44,761 --> 00:05:46,471
And he's very hard to read.

99
00:05:47,806 --> 00:05:52,102
Matt Remick's office. Yes. Of course.

100
00:05:53,395 --> 00:05:56,148
Griffin Mill wants to see you right now.
He's set up in scenic painting.

101
00:05:59,818 --> 00:06:01,736
I'm about to get promoted or fired,

102
00:06:01,737 --> 00:06:05,323
but if I get this job,
I'm bumping you up to creative executive.

103
00:06:05,324 --> 00:06:08,826
Holy shit. I thought you only
ever said that so I wouldn't quit.

104
00:06:08,827 --> 00:06:11,205
I did, but I also meant it.

105
00:06:20,964 --> 00:06:22,798
Would you like a green juice or anything?

106
00:06:22,799 --> 00:06:24,218
I'm okay. Thank you.

107
00:06:28,096 --> 00:06:29,306
You can go right in.

108
00:06:41,652 --> 00:06:42,653
Welcome.

109
00:06:43,153 --> 00:06:44,445
Thank you.

110
00:06:44,446 --> 00:06:48,199
Sorry about the strange surroundings.

111
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,285
I just had some business
I needed to take care of,

112
00:06:51,286 --> 00:06:54,372
and I thought a discreet environment
might be thoughtful.

113
00:06:54,373 --> 00:06:57,083
- Of course. Yeah. Discretion is key.
- Yeah. Because... Yes. Exactly.

114
00:06:57,084 --> 00:06:59,836
Because nobody wants
to hear somebody else crying

115
00:06:59,837 --> 00:07:03,006
and losing their shit while being fired,
you know? Here, have a seat.

116
00:07:05,634 --> 00:07:08,929
Matthew, out of respect,
I'm gonna get right down to business.

117
00:07:14,434 --> 00:07:19,648
Patty's time has come and gone, and I'm
seriously considering you to replace her.

118
00:07:20,190 --> 00:07:23,901
Oh, my God. Yes.
I'm the guy. I'm the guy for the job.

119
00:07:23,902 --> 00:07:26,362
Why are... Tell me that.
Why are you the guy?

120
00:07:26,363 --> 00:07:29,866
Well, I've worked at Continental
for 22 years.

121
00:07:29,867 --> 00:07:32,410
I bought the original spec script
for <i>MK Ultra</i> which,

122
00:07:32,411 --> 00:07:35,371
as I'm sure you know, spawned a franchise
that's made us over $3 billion for--

123
00:07:35,372 --> 00:07:38,583
Hey, Renae. Where the fuck's
my green juice?

124
00:07:38,584 --> 00:07:41,210
- You want a green juice?
- Yeah. I'd love one.

125
00:07:41,211 --> 00:07:43,796
Two green juices. Now.

126
00:07:43,797 --> 00:07:46,425
- Yes, sir.
- Sorry. Continue.

127
00:07:47,551 --> 00:07:52,930
Film is my life. Ever since I came to this
studio as a kid and went on the tour,

128
00:07:52,931 --> 00:07:56,517
being the head of Continental
is the only job I've ever wanted.

129
00:07:56,518 --> 00:07:58,519
That is adorable.

130
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:03,150
All right. Well, listen. I honestly just
have one strong reservation about you.

131
00:08:04,318 --> 00:08:09,239
I've heard you are really
into artsy-fartsy filmmaking bullshit,

132
00:08:10,324 --> 00:08:14,327
that you're obsessed with actors
and directors liking you

133
00:08:14,328 --> 00:08:19,541
rather than being obsessed with making
this studio as much money as possible.

134
00:08:20,542 --> 00:08:21,876
- Me?
- Yeah.

135
00:08:21,877 --> 00:08:23,628
That could not be further from the truth.

136
00:08:23,629 --> 00:08:26,673
I am as bottom-line oriented
as anyone in this town.

137
00:08:29,218 --> 00:08:30,760
- I believe you.
- Great.

138
00:08:30,761 --> 00:08:31,845
- Good.
- Good.

139
00:08:32,763 --> 00:08:35,140
Because at Continental,
we don't make films.

140
00:08:35,724 --> 00:08:37,266
We make movies.

141
00:08:37,267 --> 00:08:41,687
Movies that people wanna pay to see.

142
00:08:41,688 --> 00:08:42,773
Yes.

143
00:08:43,273 --> 00:08:45,650
Come here. I got a little secret for you.

144
00:08:45,651 --> 00:08:47,902
Not for anyone else to hear this,

145
00:08:47,903 --> 00:08:54,283
but I am very close to closing
on the deal to get the rights to Kool-Aid.

146
00:08:54,284 --> 00:08:59,080
And I'm talking a huge,
four-quadrant version of it.

147
00:08:59,081 --> 00:09:00,373
- Kool-Aid?
- Kool-Aid.

148
00:09:00,374 --> 00:09:01,707
- The red drink?
- Yeah.

149
00:09:01,708 --> 00:09:04,001
The guy who breaks through walls
and says, "Oh, yeah"?

150
00:09:04,002 --> 00:09:05,294
Yes.

151
00:09:05,295 --> 00:09:09,715
- That is fucking perfect.
- Okay.

152
00:09:09,716 --> 00:09:12,385
That's exactly what we should
be doing, Mr. Mill.

153
00:09:12,386 --> 00:09:14,595
- Finally, someone who gets it.
- Yes. I get it.

154
00:09:14,596 --> 00:09:17,223
- Oh, my God. That's great. Yes.
- Yes.

155
00:09:17,224 --> 00:09:18,599
I mean, because, look,

156
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,769
if Warner Brothers can make
a billion fucking dollars

157
00:09:21,770 --> 00:09:24,481
off the plastic tits of a pussiless doll,

158
00:09:25,566 --> 00:09:30,529
we should be able to make $2 billion
off the legacy brand of Kool-Aid.

159
00:09:32,155 --> 00:09:33,490
Can you make that happen?

160
00:09:35,284 --> 00:09:36,910
Oh, yeah.

161
00:09:38,161 --> 00:09:40,705
- I get it, and you get it.
- Yeah. You get it. Yeah.

162
00:09:40,706 --> 00:09:42,791
Now let's go get it.

163
00:09:43,333 --> 00:09:45,751
Let's get it. All right.

164
00:09:45,752 --> 00:09:46,837
All right.

165
00:09:47,713 --> 00:09:48,714
Did I get the job?

166
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:50,924
Oh, yeah!

167
00:10:09,735 --> 00:10:12,361
Matt. Everyone's gathering
in the conference room.

168
00:10:12,362 --> 00:10:13,697
Great. Thank you, Petra.

169
00:10:15,032 --> 00:10:17,825
Question.
Has Patty returned any of my phone calls?

170
00:10:17,826 --> 00:10:20,578
- Patty?
- Patty Leigh.

171
00:10:20,579 --> 00:10:22,830
- The lady whose job I just took.
- Sorry.

172
00:10:22,831 --> 00:10:24,665
- Patty, former head of the studio. Patty.
- Patty, yes.

173
00:10:24,666 --> 00:10:25,875
- Yes?
- I mean... No.

174
00:10:25,876 --> 00:10:27,126
- She hasn't called back.
- Okay.

175
00:10:27,127 --> 00:10:28,419
Sorry. So many new names.
It's really hard.

176
00:10:28,420 --> 00:10:29,504
It's a lot to process. I get it.

177
00:10:29,505 --> 00:10:30,671
- Quinn.
- Hey.

178
00:10:30,672 --> 00:10:32,590
You ready? Your first big meeting
as creative executive.

179
00:10:32,591 --> 00:10:34,133
- Yes. I'm so fucking ready.
- You seem to be.

180
00:10:34,134 --> 00:10:35,760
- Got your little notebook and everything.
- Yes, I do.

181
00:10:35,761 --> 00:10:37,054
Big dawg.

182
00:10:37,763 --> 00:10:38,846
- Sup?
- Congrats, man.

183
00:10:38,847 --> 00:10:40,389
Thank you. Yo, like we talked about,

184
00:10:40,390 --> 00:10:41,891
this cannot get in the way
of our friendship, right?

185
00:10:41,892 --> 00:10:43,518
- Of course, man.
- Now that I'm the big dog,

186
00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:45,561
- I got yo back, man.
- I like the sound of that.

187
00:10:45,562 --> 00:10:47,021
- Yeah.
- Oh, fuck. John Cena.

188
00:10:47,022 --> 00:10:48,564
- Get that. Yeah.
- I'm gonna take it.

189
00:10:48,565 --> 00:10:50,067
- He's great.
- He'll beat me up.

190
00:10:51,902 --> 00:10:54,655
Come on, man. Fuck this shit.

191
00:11:01,995 --> 00:11:04,080
- He says hi.
- Cool.

192
00:11:04,081 --> 00:11:05,873
- There he is.
- Oh, hey.

193
00:11:05,874 --> 00:11:07,750
- Hey. Maya. Tyler.
- The man of the hour.

194
00:11:07,751 --> 00:11:09,794
Next time that <i>Variety</i> wants to interview,

195
00:11:09,795 --> 00:11:11,504
why don't you check
in with marketing first

196
00:11:11,505 --> 00:11:12,588
so we can get a decent picture

197
00:11:12,589 --> 00:11:14,799
- of you this time, right?
- I actually like the photo they used.

198
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,217
- Oh, really? The lighting too?
- Thank you.

199
00:11:16,218 --> 00:11:18,427
- Yeah. Look.
- Okay.

200
00:11:18,428 --> 00:11:20,555
Thank you, everyone, for assembling.

201
00:11:20,556 --> 00:11:22,807
You know, I just kind of wanted to
get the core team together

202
00:11:22,808 --> 00:11:26,645
for what I guess is the first official
meeting of the Remick years.

203
00:11:29,314 --> 00:11:31,858
Now, I know Patty was
like a mentor to all of us,

204
00:11:31,859 --> 00:11:33,985
but that doesn't mean
I'm not gonna do things,

205
00:11:33,986 --> 00:11:36,028
you know, a little bit differently for...

206
00:11:36,029 --> 00:11:39,532
as I very eloquently said
in my interview with <i>Variety</i>,

207
00:11:39,533 --> 00:11:42,577
you know, prestige films
and box office hits.

208
00:11:42,578 --> 00:11:46,415
Those are not mutually exclusive.
We can do both, and we will do both.

209
00:11:46,915 --> 00:11:49,333
And that is why I am excited to announce

210
00:11:49,334 --> 00:11:52,880
that we are fast-tracking
a Kool-Aid movie.

211
00:11:55,632 --> 00:11:58,134
- Wait, what?
- Let's fucking go.

212
00:11:58,135 --> 00:11:59,677
- Yes.
- Wait, actually?

213
00:11:59,678 --> 00:12:02,138
I was hammering Patty to make moves
like this for, like, months.

214
00:12:02,139 --> 00:12:05,683
My God. We can get MrBeast to put a bunch
of people in a giant pitcher of Kool-Aid,

215
00:12:05,684 --> 00:12:07,643
see how long they can hold their breath
for money.

216
00:12:07,644 --> 00:12:09,437
Actually, that would crush.

217
00:12:09,438 --> 00:12:11,939
- Right?
- I could sell the fuck out of this.

218
00:12:11,940 --> 00:12:14,233
That is amazing, Maya,
and I'm glad you like it.

219
00:12:14,234 --> 00:12:16,360
And you're gonna like it even more
when you hear my take.

220
00:12:16,361 --> 00:12:19,739
So, what made <i>Barbie</i> stand out
so much in the marketplace?

221
00:12:19,740 --> 00:12:21,115
Famous white people.

222
00:12:21,116 --> 00:12:25,536
Kinda. It was actually
one quasi-famous white lady.

223
00:12:25,537 --> 00:12:27,997
Greta Gerwig.
That's the reason <i>Barbie</i> worked.

224
00:12:27,998 --> 00:12:31,667
It had a writer-director behind it.
It was a filmmaker's vision.

225
00:12:31,668 --> 00:12:33,461
So that's what we're gonna do
with Kool-Aid.

226
00:12:33,462 --> 00:12:38,049
We are gonna make the auteur-driven,
Oscar-winning Kool-Aid film.

227
00:12:38,050 --> 00:12:41,802
Oh, fuck me. You wanna make
a fucking fancy Kool-Aid movie?

228
00:12:41,803 --> 00:12:45,473
Why? Nobody even fucking watches
the Oscars anymore.

229
00:12:45,474 --> 00:12:47,600
Did <i>Mario Brothers</i> win an Oscar?

230
00:12:47,601 --> 00:12:49,393
- No. It did not.
- No. It didn't,

231
00:12:49,394 --> 00:12:51,063
but you know what it did win?

232
00:12:53,023 --> 00:12:56,692
$1.3 billion. So this could be our that.

233
00:12:56,693 --> 00:13:01,739
Yeah. I'm gonna make $1.3 billion, but I'm
also gonna make a great film, all right?

234
00:13:01,740 --> 00:13:03,158
- Oh, God.
- Hey, Petra!

235
00:13:04,076 --> 00:13:07,913
Set some meetings.
Only the finest of auteurs for Kool-Aid.

236
00:13:08,664 --> 00:13:09,665
Oh, yeah.

237
00:13:21,426 --> 00:13:22,969
- Thank you.
- So, I'm confused.

238
00:13:22,970 --> 00:13:26,389
Why are we making the Kool-Aid movie?
You hate this stupid IP shit,

239
00:13:26,390 --> 00:13:28,099
you just gave this jerk-off interview

240
00:13:28,100 --> 00:13:30,101
about how you wanna
make cinematic works of art.

241
00:13:30,102 --> 00:13:31,185
I know. Look,

242
00:13:31,186 --> 00:13:34,355
Griffin Mill would only give me this job
if I agreed to make the Kool-Aid movie.

243
00:13:34,356 --> 00:13:35,648
- Yeah.
- Okay.

244
00:13:35,649 --> 00:13:38,484
That makes a lot more sense 'cause when
this shit's announced you're gonna look--

245
00:13:38,485 --> 00:13:39,735
Like a fucking hypocrite?

246
00:13:39,736 --> 00:13:41,320
I was gonna say fucking idiot, but yeah.

247
00:13:41,321 --> 00:13:43,197
Yeah. Unless we make the fancy version
of Kool-Aid.

248
00:13:43,198 --> 00:13:44,949
Then I actually look like
a fucking genius, you know?

249
00:13:44,950 --> 00:13:47,451
- See what the agent's got for us.
- Hey. Mitch Weitz.

250
00:13:47,452 --> 00:13:50,788
Hey. And they say there's no more
Jews working in Hollywood, huh?

251
00:13:50,789 --> 00:13:53,040
- Look at us. We're almost to a minyan.
- Yeah. Hilarious.

252
00:13:53,041 --> 00:13:55,126
You guys need some
Manischewitz, huh? Shake a fucking lulab.

253
00:13:55,127 --> 00:13:56,669
- Yeah. We're all Jewish.
- We get it, we get it.

254
00:13:56,670 --> 00:13:58,546
- It's very, very funny. Look...
- I know what a lulab is.

255
00:13:58,547 --> 00:14:00,381
...we're fast-tracking the Kool-Aid movie,

256
00:14:00,382 --> 00:14:02,091
and we're really interested in meeting
with some of your clients.

257
00:14:02,092 --> 00:14:03,301
Yeah. Sal gave me the heads-up.

258
00:14:03,302 --> 00:14:05,971
I spoke to Nick Stoller, and he...

259
00:14:06,680 --> 00:14:09,390
It took him a second to wrap his head
around it but yeah, he's got a pitch.

260
00:14:09,391 --> 00:14:13,436
I really like Nick Stoller for this.
<i>Storks</i>, <i>Captain Underpants</i>, <i>The Muppets</i>.

261
00:14:13,437 --> 00:14:15,605
That's not the direction we wanna go
with this, okay?

262
00:14:15,606 --> 00:14:17,231
Don't you represent Wes Anderson?

263
00:14:17,232 --> 00:14:21,277
You want Wes Anderson to direct
a fucking Kool-Aid movie?

264
00:14:21,278 --> 00:14:23,404
He's gonna think I'm fucking crazy, man.

265
00:14:23,405 --> 00:14:27,325
He's gonna fire me over Zoom from
Liechtenstein or wherever the fuck he is.

266
00:14:27,326 --> 00:14:29,535
Okay. What about Guillermo del Toro?

267
00:14:29,536 --> 00:14:33,331
- Go fuck your mother. Have you lost your...
- That's--

268
00:14:33,332 --> 00:14:35,124
He's an academy award-winner.

269
00:14:35,125 --> 00:14:37,418
He's not gonna stoop
to the fucking Kool-Aid movie.

270
00:14:37,419 --> 00:14:40,004
Why not? It's like
the <i>Barbie</i> movie, you know what I mean?

271
00:14:40,005 --> 00:14:41,088
<i>Barbie</i>?

272
00:14:41,089 --> 00:14:46,385
<i>Barbie</i>
is ten thousand million times better IP

273
00:14:46,386 --> 00:14:48,095
than fucking Kool-Aid. Okay, why?

274
00:14:48,096 --> 00:14:51,766
Because people love Barbie.
Barbie's hot. People wanna fuck Barbie.

275
00:14:51,767 --> 00:14:53,518
I wanna fuck...

276
00:14:53,519 --> 00:14:57,104
Ain't nobody trying
to fuck the Kool-Aid Man, dude. Okay?

277
00:14:57,105 --> 00:14:58,481
He's doesn't even have an asshole.

278
00:14:58,482 --> 00:15:01,901
Pretty sure there's no way
to fuck the Kool-Aid Man. Am I wrong?

279
00:15:01,902 --> 00:15:03,277
How would you fuck him?

280
00:15:03,278 --> 00:15:06,364
I don't fuck... What are we talking about?
This has nothing to do with anything.

281
00:15:06,365 --> 00:15:10,535
This is an actual opportunity
for a director to get a huge budget

282
00:15:10,536 --> 00:15:12,204
and make, like, a real film, you know?

283
00:15:12,955 --> 00:15:15,957
Matt. Okay, listen to me, I get it.

284
00:15:15,958 --> 00:15:17,917
You're a new studio head.

285
00:15:17,918 --> 00:15:20,503
You want to make great art
and make a billion dollars doing it.

286
00:15:20,504 --> 00:15:23,381
Well, guess what?
That never fucking happens.

287
00:15:23,382 --> 00:15:26,050
And you're gonna fuck everything up
trying to make it happen. You understand?

288
00:15:26,051 --> 00:15:27,594
Hey, Matt, he's right.

289
00:15:28,887 --> 00:15:30,721
Make one for them, make one for you.

290
00:15:30,722 --> 00:15:33,140
Martin Scorsese is pitching you a movie
this week.

291
00:15:33,141 --> 00:15:35,393
Make that shit. Take the easy W here, man.

292
00:15:35,394 --> 00:15:36,894
See? Listen to your Jew.

293
00:15:36,895 --> 00:15:38,437
- Your exec.
- Great. Thank you.

294
00:15:38,438 --> 00:15:40,731
No, seriously, you've got Stoller.
Stoller's fucking great,

295
00:15:40,732 --> 00:15:42,692
- you fucking schmuck.
- He's really good.

296
00:15:42,693 --> 00:15:43,776
Oh, shit.

297
00:15:43,777 --> 00:15:48,030
- Can you say "Jew" more?
- When a Jew walks up. Look. Hey, listen...

298
00:15:48,031 --> 00:15:49,115
Hello, Mr. Mill.

299
00:15:49,116 --> 00:15:51,784
<i>Matthew. Just checking in on Kool-Aid</i>.

300
00:15:51,785 --> 00:15:53,786
Listen, I have a board meeting
this Friday,

301
00:15:53,787 --> 00:15:57,623
so I'm gonna need you to pull the trigger
on a director by then.

302
00:15:57,624 --> 00:15:58,709
You can do that, right?

303
00:15:59,877 --> 00:16:04,630
Yeah, totally. Shouldn't be
a problem. Yep. I can do that.

304
00:16:04,631 --> 00:16:05,883
<i>All right.</i>

305
00:16:10,012 --> 00:16:12,639
Yeah. Set the meeting with Nick Stoller.

306
00:16:13,473 --> 00:16:15,309
Mazel tov.

307
00:16:17,352 --> 00:16:20,606
Kool-Aid Man is a logo
in a world of logos.

308
00:16:21,231 --> 00:16:23,274
He's friends with Jell-O
and Chef Boyardee.

309
00:16:23,275 --> 00:16:25,985
They go to the bar to, like,
hang with Velveeta.

310
00:16:25,986 --> 00:16:28,779
And the Kool-Aid Man, you know,
he was famous in the '80s,

311
00:16:28,780 --> 00:16:31,032
but it's time for him to retire
because he's, you know,

312
00:16:31,033 --> 00:16:33,701
he's too old to break through walls
and do his job anymore.

313
00:16:33,702 --> 00:16:37,622
He wants his son to replace him.
There's a whole family of Kool-Aid people.

314
00:16:37,623 --> 00:16:40,875
So we get to incorporate the
other flavors. You know, yellow, green...

315
00:16:40,876 --> 00:16:44,545
But his daughter, she really
wants to break through walls.

316
00:16:44,546 --> 00:16:48,508
But Kool-Aid,
he doesn't think she's strong enough.

317
00:16:48,509 --> 00:16:51,260
But when the whole Kool-Aid family
goes missing,

318
00:16:51,261 --> 00:16:54,681
Kool-Aid girl becomes their only hope.

319
00:16:56,558 --> 00:16:58,519
I hope this doesn't sound crass,

320
00:16:59,478 --> 00:17:02,688
but I feel like I just got double-stuffed
by Walt Disney and Aaron Sorkin.

321
00:17:02,689 --> 00:17:03,981
All right?

322
00:17:03,982 --> 00:17:08,362
Walt's up in my mouth, the Sork is
absolutely destroying my ass.

323
00:17:09,530 --> 00:17:11,655
- Well, thanks. Thank you.
- Yeah.

324
00:17:11,656 --> 00:17:13,574
- Thanks.
- No. Thank you. So good.

325
00:17:13,575 --> 00:17:16,911
And that family shit, as the father
of daughters, it really resonates with me.

326
00:17:16,912 --> 00:17:19,372
Yeah, I'm sure it does.
It was a great pitch, Nick.

327
00:17:19,373 --> 00:17:21,790
Thank you so much for coming in,
especially on such short notice.

328
00:17:21,791 --> 00:17:24,751
We really appreciate it. Let us just,
you know, rally on our end.

329
00:17:24,752 --> 00:17:26,754
And yeah, we'll let you know ASAP.
So thanks, man. Yeah.

330
00:17:26,755 --> 00:17:29,966
Cool. Thanks. Thank you.
And have you talked to Patty recently?

331
00:17:29,967 --> 00:17:33,803
I mean, I... She gave me my first break
as a writer, and I, you know, love her.

332
00:17:33,804 --> 00:17:36,472
- Yeah, she's the best.
- And, is she doing okay?

333
00:17:36,473 --> 00:17:37,932
- Yeah, she's doing great, yeah.
- Okay.

334
00:17:37,933 --> 00:17:39,934
I was ac... I was just talking
to her this morning actually.

335
00:17:39,935 --> 00:17:41,018
- Okay.
- Yeah, and she's,

336
00:17:41,019 --> 00:17:42,436
you know, transitioning very well.

337
00:17:42,437 --> 00:17:44,814
She's overall very optimistic
about the future.

338
00:17:44,815 --> 00:17:46,858
So, yeah, I'll let her know you said hi.

339
00:17:46,859 --> 00:17:48,484
- That would be awesome.
- Yes. Great job.

340
00:17:48,485 --> 00:17:50,444
- And I love Kool-Aid. I really do.
- Yeah, cool. Great, thanks, man. Yeah.

341
00:17:50,445 --> 00:17:51,529
- I love it.
- It loves you.

342
00:17:51,530 --> 00:17:52,613
I'm thirsty for Kool-Aid.

343
00:17:52,614 --> 00:17:53,906
Yeah.

344
00:17:53,907 --> 00:17:55,032
Did you really talk to Patty?

345
00:17:55,033 --> 00:17:58,536
No. I've called her a thousand times.
She will not call me back at all, man.

346
00:17:58,537 --> 00:18:00,872
Yeah, me too.
Hey, that pitch was really good.

347
00:18:00,873 --> 00:18:03,207
This movie can work, man. He's the doctor.

348
00:18:03,208 --> 00:18:04,500
Yeah. You know, I gotta say,

349
00:18:04,501 --> 00:18:07,253
it's for sure the best version
of the very, very,

350
00:18:07,254 --> 00:18:09,338
very, very middle-of-the-road
version of this

351
00:18:09,339 --> 00:18:11,757
and it's not what I wanna be,

352
00:18:11,758 --> 00:18:13,301
you know, coming out of the gate with,

353
00:18:13,302 --> 00:18:14,760
but Griffin Mill will love it.

354
00:18:14,761 --> 00:18:17,555
And more importantly, he will have it by
the end of the week. So, thank you, Sal.

355
00:18:17,556 --> 00:18:19,140
- I got your back.
- Okay.

356

Fuck.

367
00:18:46,543 --> 00:18:47,920
I can't believe Patty's out.

368
00:18:48,795 --> 00:18:51,047
You know, she was the head of Continental
for as long as I can remember.

369
00:18:51,048 --> 00:18:52,381
It was like, since before the flood.

370
00:18:52,382 --> 00:18:54,091
Yeah.

371
00:18:54,092 --> 00:18:55,718
- And now you're here.
- Yes.

372
00:18:55,719 --> 00:18:58,638
- Congratulations.
- Thank you. It's very exciting.

373
00:18:58,639 --> 00:19:00,056
- All the best.
- Yes.

374
00:19:00,057 --> 00:19:02,391
If I seem stressed out, honestly,
I've had a...

375
00:19:02,392 --> 00:19:03,768
I've had quite the day.

376
00:19:03,769 --> 00:19:05,269
Oh, yeah. Was it bad?

377
00:19:05,270 --> 00:19:07,772
Bad? No, not really.
Just got a lot going on.

378
00:19:07,773 --> 00:19:09,815
So I... What do you got?
I can't wait to hear it.

379
00:19:09,816 --> 00:19:12,652
Well, I know you're busy, so I'm just
gonna jump right into it, okay?

380
00:19:12,653 --> 00:19:15,947
This is a project that I've
been really wanting to make

381
00:19:15,948 --> 00:19:17,490
for a very, very long time.

382
00:19:17,491 --> 00:19:20,243
Only thing is,
the budget's a little bit up there.

383
00:19:20,244 --> 00:19:22,870
Some may say extreme. The scope is huge.

384
00:19:22,871 --> 00:19:23,955
Cool.

385
00:19:23,956 --> 00:19:26,541
The themes are heavy.
But I want the film to be entertaining.

386
00:19:26,542 --> 00:19:29,460
- Cool, yeah.
- Entertainment, okay?

387
00:19:29,461 --> 00:19:32,463
Now, it's a story we all know about,

388
00:19:32,464 --> 00:19:38,053
but not one that we really know about,
you know?

389
00:19:39,638 --> 00:19:41,932
Oh, I know. What is it?

390
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:44,601
Jonestown.

391
00:19:45,602 --> 00:19:46,603
Huh?

392
00:19:47,688 --> 00:19:49,064
Jonestown.

393
00:19:49,857 --> 00:19:51,691
Like the cult massacre?

394
00:19:51,692 --> 00:19:55,987
Yes, exactly! The Jonestown cult massacre.

395
00:19:55,988 --> 00:19:58,948
It's about Jim Jones,
United States Senate, America.

396
00:19:58,949 --> 00:20:01,910
It's sprawling, it's big, it's fun.
It's fucked up.

397
00:20:02,619 --> 00:20:03,995
Granted, it's fucked up,

398
00:20:03,996 --> 00:20:08,791
but I see it as a meditation on cults,
hero worship, mass murder, suicide.

399
00:20:08,792 --> 00:20:10,002
Everything. It's life.

400
00:20:11,879 --> 00:20:12,880
Jonestown?

401
00:20:14,256 --> 00:20:15,591
Jonestown.

402
00:20:16,550 --> 00:20:19,553
Now, correct me if I'm wrong...

403
00:20:21,430 --> 00:20:25,726
Is that the massacre where everybody
committed suicide by...

404
00:20:27,895 --> 00:20:28,895
drinking Kool-Aid?

405
00:20:28,896 --> 00:20:30,605
Exactly! That's the phrase.

406
00:20:30,606 --> 00:20:33,608
They drank the Kool-Aid.
Drink the Kool-Aid, whatever it is.

407
00:20:33,609 --> 00:20:35,860
That's the phrase.
That's the climax of the picture.

408
00:20:35,861 --> 00:20:37,528
- It's a big, big sequence.
- That's great.

409
00:20:37,529 --> 00:20:38,821
- So, naturally, it builds to that.
- That's so...

410
00:20:38,822 --> 00:20:45,287
In a sense, I guess you could
say that your film is about Kool-Aid.

411
00:20:47,122 --> 00:20:49,290
Well, I mean, yeah, in a sense, I guess.

412
00:20:49,291 --> 00:20:50,833
- In a sense. Yeah, great.
- In a sense you could.

413
00:20:50,834 --> 00:20:52,001
- Great.
- Yeah.

414
00:20:52,002 --> 00:20:54,170
So, what are you thinking
in terms of budget?

415
00:20:54,171 --> 00:20:59,927
Well, I mean... Yeah, budget... You know, 200.

416
00:21:02,513 --> 00:21:04,972
I'm gonna tell you what, Mr. Scorsese.

417
00:21:04,973 --> 00:21:09,727
I will green-light your film right now
with a budget of $250 million,

418
00:21:09,728 --> 00:21:12,397
and I'm gonna buy your screenplay
for ten million.

419
00:21:13,941 --> 00:21:17,818
Matt. Jesus, you move fast.

420
00:21:17,819 --> 00:21:19,695
I love that. I love it.

421
00:21:19,696 --> 00:21:21,155
- Decisive, huh?
- Yep.

422
00:21:21,156 --> 00:21:22,907
Decisive and good taste.

423
00:21:22,908 --> 00:21:24,659
I don't mean that in a bad way.

424
00:21:24,660 --> 00:21:26,410
- No, of course.
- Yeah.

425
00:21:26,411 --> 00:21:29,498
Now there's one little tiny catch.

426
00:21:30,374 --> 00:21:31,582
- All right.
- I know.

427
00:21:31,583 --> 00:21:32,667
Yeah, I've been around.

428
00:21:32,668 --> 00:21:34,335
- Always a catch.
- Hit me with the catch. What is it?

429
00:21:34,336 --> 00:21:38,381
Trust me here. This, in no way
affects you making the exact film

430
00:21:38,382 --> 00:21:39,799
that you wanna make, okay?

431
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,051
Yeah, because the whole thing
is about freedom to make the film

432
00:21:42,052 --> 00:21:43,010
you wanna make, yeah.

433
00:21:43,011 --> 00:21:45,096
You will have all that. However,
it sort of affects what...

434
00:21:45,097 --> 00:21:46,640
what we'd call the film.

435
00:21:48,392 --> 00:21:51,228
Okay, so what do you wanna call the movie?

436
00:21:54,398 --> 00:21:55,399
Kool-Aid.

437
00:22:01,071 --> 00:22:02,154
Kool-Aid.

438
00:22:02,155 --> 00:22:03,948
<i>I did it!</i>

439
00:22:03,949 --> 00:22:07,535
I got Martin Scorsese to write and direct
the Kool-Aid movie!

440
00:22:07,536 --> 00:22:09,662
Scorsese? Kool-Aid? Are you shitting me?

441
00:22:09,663 --> 00:22:11,497
I'm not. I did it!

442
00:22:11,498 --> 00:22:13,875
Oh, what about Stoller?
I'm making a deal with him.

443
00:22:13,876 --> 00:22:15,793
Yeah! Tell him to get fucked!

444
00:22:15,794 --> 00:22:17,211
I got a real filmmaker.

445
00:22:17,212 --> 00:22:18,754
Consider him fucked.

446
00:22:18,755 --> 00:22:21,132
Scorsese? Are you kidding me?

447
00:22:21,133 --> 00:22:26,012
No. I did it. When this breaks
on <i>Deadline</i>, I'm gonna look like a genius.

448
00:22:26,013 --> 00:22:30,224
All those people who wrote posts and
articles about what a dumb schmuck I am,

449
00:22:30,225 --> 00:22:34,312
they're gonna have to write new posts
and new articles about what a genius I am.

450
00:22:34,313 --> 00:22:36,690
- That's the dream!
- Matt, look.

451
00:22:37,191 --> 00:22:39,066
- Oh, my God.
- Matt? What?

452
00:22:39,067 --> 00:22:42,195
- Charlize Theron invited me to her party.
- No fucking way. Can I come with?

453
00:22:42,196 --> 00:22:43,279
No!

454
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,281
This is the best day of my life.

455
00:22:45,282 --> 00:22:46,617
This is it!

456
00:22:50,871 --> 00:22:55,249
Marty Scorses? On God? No fucking way!

457
00:22:55,250 --> 00:22:56,751
- Yeah.
- What's the idea?

458
00:22:56,752 --> 00:22:59,463
- Is there a document? Let's go.
- There's a whole script.

459
00:23:00,214 --> 00:23:01,422
Wait a minute...

460
00:23:01,423 --> 00:23:04,634
Martin Scorsese just happened to be
writing a script about Kool-Aid?

461
00:23:04,635 --> 00:23:07,261
Even better. Martin Scorsese
just happened to be writing

462
00:23:07,262 --> 00:23:10,933
a script that he is enthusiastic about
turning into our Kool-Aid film.

463
00:23:11,725 --> 00:23:13,185
Great! What the fuck is it?

464
00:23:14,394 --> 00:23:15,603
- Just know...
- Okay.

465
00:23:15,604 --> 00:23:18,064
...it's one of those ideas
that when you first hear it...

466
00:23:18,065 --> 00:23:19,732
- Yeah.
- ...you're gonna be like, "Huh?"

467
00:23:19,733 --> 00:23:22,235
But then once you really process it,
wrap your head around it,

468
00:23:22,236 --> 00:23:24,905
- you're gonna be like, "Wow!"
- What the fuck is it?

469
00:23:25,822 --> 00:23:29,909
It is an exploration of Kool-Aid

470
00:23:29,910 --> 00:23:35,081
through the events
that centered around the place

471
00:23:35,082 --> 00:23:39,461
that is most commonly known as...

472
00:23:40,337 --> 00:23:41,755
Jonestown.

473
00:23:43,507 --> 00:23:44,508
Jonestown?

474
00:23:48,053 --> 00:23:49,053
Jesus! Fuck! Yo!

475
00:23:49,054 --> 00:23:51,472
- What the fuck is wrong with you?
- Calm down. It's fucking nothing.

476
00:23:51,473 --> 00:23:53,391
You wanna bring down
this fucking studio? Oh, my God!

477
00:23:53,392 --> 00:23:55,726
Just fucking relax. Chill the fuck out.

478
00:23:55,727 --> 00:23:58,187
If you're gonna tear it down, I need
a fucking Xanax right now. I'm so hot.

479
00:23:58,188 --> 00:23:59,397
Everyone's watching! We're all good!

480
00:23:59,398 --> 00:24:02,233
Okay, look. Okay, it's not
a line drive down-the-middle take.

481
00:24:02,234 --> 00:24:03,526
- No.
- This is even better.

482
00:24:03,527 --> 00:24:06,237
This version can actually be cool.

483
00:24:06,238 --> 00:24:08,948
"Cool"? Who are you, the fucking Fonz?

484
00:24:08,949 --> 00:24:11,242
Look! Okay.
<i>Once Upon a Time in Hollywood</i>, right?

485
00:24:11,243 --> 00:24:14,287
- Quentin Tarantino, a fun, cool movie...
- Right.

486
00:24:14,288 --> 00:24:19,959
...about a real cult massacre that wins
Oscars and makes $377 million,

487
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,212
or can Sony market a movie
better than you?

488
00:24:22,796 --> 00:24:24,297
You know what Sony had?

489
00:24:24,298 --> 00:24:28,635
The holy trinity. Leo, Brad, and Margot.

490
00:24:29,469 --> 00:24:30,679
Who do you have?

491
00:24:32,181 --> 00:24:33,390
It's funny you should ask.

492
00:24:34,099 --> 00:24:36,434
I was just talking to Marty,

493
00:24:36,435 --> 00:24:42,231
and he actually has really strong feelings
that the lead role of,

494
00:24:42,232 --> 00:24:43,691
you know, Jim Jones

495
00:24:43,692 --> 00:24:46,111
should be portrayed by none other than...

496
00:24:48,113 --> 00:24:49,323
Steve Buscemi.

497
00:24:52,784 --> 00:24:58,080
{\an8}Okay, Steven Buscemi is absolutely
the worst case scenario.

498
00:24:58,081 --> 00:25:01,501
Either people know his name
but they can't recognize his face,

499
00:25:01,502 --> 00:25:03,586
or they know his face but they have
no idea what his name is.

500
00:25:03,587 --> 00:25:04,795
He is not good for business.

501
00:25:04,796 --> 00:25:08,174
He's quite literally one of
the greatest actors who's currently alive.

502
00:25:08,175 --> 00:25:09,967
Hey! If he walked in this room,

503
00:25:09,968 --> 00:25:13,679
I would splay him on this table
and fuck him to death.

504
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,849
He does not have the clout
to carry a franchise like Kool-Aid.

505
00:25:16,850 --> 00:25:18,643
Wait, hold on. Is it "Buscemi"
or "Buscimi"?

506
00:25:18,644 --> 00:25:20,895
- It's Steve Buscemi.
- Buscemi?

507
00:25:20,896 --> 00:25:22,480
No, it's Buscemi like bruschetta.

508
00:25:22,481 --> 00:25:24,023
We've been talking about this guy
for an hour,

509
00:25:24,024 --> 00:25:25,858
and no one here can pronounce
his name correctly.

510
00:25:25,859 --> 00:25:28,653
- What does that tell you, Matt?
- Okay, so here's the deal.

511
00:25:28,654 --> 00:25:32,532
Griffin is gonna ask me
what marketing thinks of your take,

512
00:25:32,533 --> 00:25:34,575
and I'm gonna have to be honest
with him and tell him

513
00:25:34,576 --> 00:25:36,160
that your take is gonna bomb.

514
00:25:36,161 --> 00:25:38,454
That movie is going to bomb. Okay?

515
00:25:38,455 --> 00:25:40,456
But I also know you need to

516
00:25:40,457 --> 00:25:41,541
show him something.

517
00:25:41,542 --> 00:25:45,128
So, I had marketing whip a little
something up to bail your ass out.

518
00:25:54,096 --> 00:25:55,304
What the fuck is this?

519
00:25:55,305 --> 00:25:57,765
- It's a teaser, asshole.
- A teaser for what, asshole?

520
00:25:57,766 --> 00:25:59,851
Fuck do I know? That's your fucking job!

521
00:25:59,852 --> 00:26:02,937
Can we please just do the Stoller idea,
okay? It was not that bad.

522
00:26:02,938 --> 00:26:06,065
We can't. Guess why. This fucking
dumbass killed the deal yesterday.

523
00:26:06,066 --> 00:26:08,192
- Oh, my God.
- Hey! I know you love Martin Scorsese.

524
00:26:08,193 --> 00:26:10,611
His vision for this movie
is going to bankrupt us.

525
00:26:10,612 --> 00:26:12,780
You need to show Griffin
this teaser right now.

526
00:26:12,781 --> 00:26:14,490
I can't show Griffin this. This is noth...

527
00:26:14,491 --> 00:26:16,617
This has no fucking story. It's nothing.

528
00:26:16,618 --> 00:26:18,327
Who gives a shit if it has a story?

529
00:26:18,328 --> 00:26:21,497
He's gonna be delighted by the
Kool-Aid Man doing the zay-zay shuffle.

530
00:26:21,498 --> 00:26:22,832
What the fuck is the zay-zay shuffle?

531
00:26:22,833 --> 00:26:24,500
It is the number one dance trend
on TikTok.

532
00:26:24,501 --> 00:26:26,043
Matt, as our boss, you should know more.

533
00:26:26,044 --> 00:26:27,254
Look, guys,

534
00:26:28,130 --> 00:26:32,550
we got Martin Scorsese to agree
to write and direct

535
00:26:32,551 --> 00:26:34,927
a fucking Kool-Aid movie for us.

536
00:26:34,928 --> 00:26:38,764
So it's not the most commercial cast,
and it's not the most marketable take,

537
00:26:38,765 --> 00:26:41,434
it's one of the greatest directors
of all time,

538
00:26:41,435 --> 00:26:43,311
wanting to make a film for us.

539
00:26:43,312 --> 00:26:46,647
If this isn't the type of thing
we're fucking saying yes to,

540
00:26:46,648 --> 00:26:48,858
what are we doing with our lives?

541
00:26:48,859 --> 00:26:53,280
We're going with Scorsese's version
of Kool-Aid. End of story.

542
00:26:54,990 --> 00:26:56,366
Griffin Mill's ready for you all.

543
00:26:59,328 --> 00:27:00,329
Oh, my God.

544
00:27:01,371 --> 00:27:04,582
It says here it was actually
Flavor Aid that they drank in Jonestown.

545
00:27:04,583 --> 00:27:06,125
Shh! Not helping.

546
00:27:06,126 --> 00:27:08,462
Just let me do the talking, we'll be fine.

547
00:27:09,254 --> 00:27:10,589
Hello!

548
00:27:11,340 --> 00:27:12,965
- Lookee here.
- Yeah.

549
00:27:12,966 --> 00:27:15,511
All marching in like good school children.

550
00:27:16,386 --> 00:27:17,929
Good to see you, sir.

551
00:27:17,930 --> 00:27:20,098
- Yeah.
- All right. So, Kool-Aid me.

552
00:27:24,061 --> 00:27:25,062
What's happening?

553
00:27:26,897 --> 00:27:28,148
I'll tell you what's happening.

554
00:27:50,212 --> 00:27:51,213
Wow.

555
00:27:53,298 --> 00:27:54,299
Seriously?

556
00:27:56,885 --> 00:28:00,596
That is fucking fantastic.

557
00:28:00,597 --> 00:28:01,848
Yes, it is!

558
00:28:01,849 --> 00:28:05,643
- I mean, that's huge! It's fun, right?
- Huge. Huge movie. So fun.

559
00:28:05,644 --> 00:28:07,311
- It's so amazing.
- Yeah. It's so great.

560
00:28:07,312 --> 00:28:09,480
- And he's doing the zay-zay, right?
- He's dropping the zay-zay.

561
00:28:09,481 --> 00:28:11,858
I love that stuff. Oh, yeah.
My daughter does that.

562
00:28:11,859 --> 00:28:13,526
Yeah, the zay-zay. Yeah, it's the best.

563
00:28:13,527 --> 00:28:15,153
So, Matt, what's the story?

564
00:28:16,738 --> 00:28:17,947
The story?

565
00:28:17,948 --> 00:28:20,492
Yeah. What's the story? What's it about?

566
00:28:23,745 --> 00:28:25,246
The story is actually the best part.

567
00:28:25,247 --> 00:28:26,330
Good.

568
00:28:26,331 --> 00:28:27,875
So, yeah.

569
00:28:28,834 --> 00:28:33,921
Well, Kool-Aid Man exists
in a world of corporate logos.

570
00:28:33,922 --> 00:28:35,590
He's friends with Velveeta.

571
00:28:35,591 --> 00:28:38,384
He goes and hangs out at the bar
with Chef Boyardee.

572
00:28:38,385 --> 00:28:40,678
And he's got a whole family
of Kool-Aid people,

573
00:28:40,679 --> 00:28:45,016
so you get the other flavors in there,
you got yellow, green, red, you know?

574
00:28:45,017 --> 00:28:46,559
- I love all this.
- Thank you.

575
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,519
- Very, very impressive.
- Thank you.

576
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,521
- Very diverse, right?
- Yes.

577
00:28:50,522 --> 00:28:52,148
You've got red, yellow, green.

578
00:28:52,149 --> 00:28:54,860
- It ain't white, am I right?
- No.

579
00:28:55,569 --> 00:28:57,236
Right? Very diverse.

580
00:28:57,237 --> 00:28:58,780
We got you, brother.

581
00:29:00,032 --> 00:29:01,491
You too, sister.

582
00:29:02,951 --> 00:29:04,744
So who's gonna be directing?

583
00:29:04,745 --> 00:29:06,495
- Nick Stoller. Guy's a real pro.
- Oh, yeah.

584
00:29:06,496 --> 00:29:08,831
- We got him locked down, yeah.
- Love him. Very funny.

585
00:29:08,832 --> 00:29:11,584
- All right. Lock it up.
- Yes. I will, thank you so much.

586
00:29:11,585 --> 00:29:12,960
- Good work.
- Pleasure.

587
00:29:12,961 --> 00:29:14,922
Good to see you, Griffin.

588
00:29:18,175 --> 00:29:19,717
One more question.

589
00:29:19,718 --> 00:29:24,973
This Martin Scorsese Jonestown movie...
What's all that about?

590
00:29:27,142 --> 00:29:32,064
You spent ten million dollars
on a Martin Scorsese Jonestown script,

591
00:29:33,774 --> 00:29:38,819
but we can't be making a movie
about Kool-Aid and its lovable mascot

592
00:29:38,820 --> 00:29:43,742
and also be making a movie
about how Kool-Aid

593
00:29:44,785 --> 00:29:49,414
is associated with one of
the most infamous mass murders

594
00:29:50,290 --> 00:29:51,625
of all fucking time.

595
00:29:53,252 --> 00:29:55,253
- Of course not.
- Thank God.

596
00:29:55,254 --> 00:29:56,462
Yeah.

597
00:29:56,463 --> 00:29:58,673
- I knew you'd have a good reason.
- Yeah.

598
00:29:58,674 --> 00:30:02,511
So, tell me, why did you spend
the ten million dollars on it?

599
00:30:05,180 --> 00:30:07,307
Well, you know...

600
00:30:08,642 --> 00:30:11,686
I got wind that Scorsese
was making this Jonestown movie...

601
00:30:11,687 --> 00:30:13,563
- Okay.
- ...and I had the exact same concern

602
00:30:13,564 --> 00:30:16,649
as you, you know. We can't let
this art house bullshit

603
00:30:16,650 --> 00:30:18,901
get in the way of our
billion-dollar franchise,

604
00:30:18,902 --> 00:30:22,822
and so I bought the Jonestown script,

605
00:30:22,823 --> 00:30:25,784
specifically to kill it.

606
00:30:28,912 --> 00:30:32,332
So, we'll own the project.

607
00:30:33,625 --> 00:30:35,752
But nobody will ever get to make it?

608
00:30:38,964 --> 00:30:42,176
Oh, Matt, that is so fucked up.

609
00:30:42,885 --> 00:30:44,177
- Yeah.
- I love it.

610
00:30:44,178 --> 00:30:45,970
- Great.
- Boop.

611
00:30:45,971 --> 00:30:47,054
Thank you.

612
00:30:47,055 --> 00:30:48,140
Good work.

613
00:30:48,724 --> 00:30:51,642
Yes, obviously I know that we are
the ones who blew up the deal,

614
00:30:51,643 --> 00:30:54,228
but we've had second thoughts
and we would love to have Nick Stoller

615
00:30:54,229 --> 00:30:56,355
on <i>Kool-Aid</i>. I'll double his quote.

616
00:30:56,356 --> 00:30:58,357
<i>You're gonna be
dumping shekels on Stoller,</i>

617
00:30:58,358 --> 00:31:01,277
<i>but the problem now is that he came up
under Patty, and he talked to her--</i>

618
00:31:01,278 --> 00:31:03,321
- He did?
- <i>Yeah, she's pissed off at Jew,</i>

619
00:31:03,322 --> 00:31:06,199
<i>the studio, and she convinced Nick
not to work with you on this.</i>

620
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:07,283
I need that idea!

621
00:31:07,284 --> 00:31:09,368
<i>I don't know what to tell you!
You fucked yourself.</i>

622
00:31:09,369 --> 00:31:10,995
Patty's the only issue?

623
00:31:10,996 --> 00:31:12,205
<i>Yep.</i>

624
00:31:12,206 --> 00:31:13,998
Well, then you will be
absolutely thrilled to hear

625
00:31:13,999 --> 00:31:16,792
that we're actually bringing Patty
onboard <i>Kool-Aid</i> as a producer.

626
00:31:16,793 --> 00:31:19,253
- No.
- <i>The first smart thing you've done.</i>

627
00:31:19,254 --> 00:31:22,632
Great. Keep it under wraps for now,
but we are gonna get this deal done.

628
00:31:22,633 --> 00:31:24,675
- <i>Good Pesach.</i>
- Why do you keep lying?

629
00:31:24,676 --> 00:31:26,969
- I don't know!
- You can't even get her on the phone.

630
00:31:26,970 --> 00:31:28,514
I know that!

631
00:31:29,264 --> 00:31:32,225
I'm just gonna go to her house
and confront her in person.

632
00:31:32,226 --> 00:31:34,143
Yo, you're coming with me
to Charlize's tonight.

633
00:31:34,144 --> 00:31:36,270
If we pull this off,
we are going to celebrate.

634
00:31:36,271 --> 00:31:38,065
Oh, yeah!

635
00:32:13,225 --> 00:32:17,520
How dare you show your face
at my door? You of all people.

636
00:32:17,521 --> 00:32:18,814
Hi, Patty.

637
00:32:20,774 --> 00:32:23,986
Oh, God, it's so humiliating.

638
00:32:25,070 --> 00:32:28,990
Well, don't just stand there
like a fucking DoorDasher, come in.

639
00:32:28,991 --> 00:32:31,367
- Fuck! You know I quit swearing...
- I know. I'm sorry.

640
00:32:31,368 --> 00:32:34,203
...and you're making me do it,
motherfucker. Fuck!

641
00:32:34,204 --> 00:32:36,038
I'm sorry. Shit. Look.

642
00:32:36,039 --> 00:32:38,749
I just wanted to come by, you know,
see how you're doing,

643
00:32:38,750 --> 00:32:40,418
and make sure everything was okay.

644
00:32:40,419 --> 00:32:42,920
How I'm doing? I...

645
00:32:42,921 --> 00:32:45,673
You know, I gave 40 years
of my life to this studio...

646
00:32:45,674 --> 00:32:48,009
- Yeah.
- ...and then this Griffin Mill,

647
00:32:48,010 --> 00:32:51,847
some dime-store Bob Evans comes in
and wants to put his stamp on the place

648
00:32:52,848 --> 00:32:55,266
like he's urinating on a hydrant.

649
00:32:55,267 --> 00:32:57,226
I know, he's so brutal.

650
00:32:57,227 --> 00:32:58,353
Yeah, he is.

651
00:32:58,979 --> 00:33:02,940
- But guess what? You're even worse.
- Me?

652
00:33:02,941 --> 00:33:05,818
- You broke my heart, Matty.
- What did I do?

653
00:33:05,819 --> 00:33:07,987
You stole my job!

654
00:33:07,988 --> 00:33:10,823
I did not steal your job, okay?

655
00:33:10,824 --> 00:33:13,576
I had absolutely nothing to do with that.

656
00:33:13,577 --> 00:33:16,454
I barely even got hired, you know?

657
00:33:16,455 --> 00:33:18,497
I raised you like a son,

658
00:33:18,498 --> 00:33:22,251
and the moment my back
is turned, you stab it.

659
00:33:22,252 --> 00:33:24,170
I did not stab you in the back.

660
00:33:24,171 --> 00:33:25,630
- Yes, you did.
- If anything, I'm here

661
00:33:25,631 --> 00:33:27,591
trying to carry your torch, Patty.

662
00:33:28,217 --> 00:33:29,967
Well, you may not have thrust the knife,

663
00:33:29,968 --> 00:33:33,888
but you sure seem happy
working with people who did.

664
00:33:33,889 --> 00:33:36,349
- I am not happy about any of this.
- You are.

665
00:33:36,350 --> 00:33:37,558
You believe me on that one.

666
00:33:37,559 --> 00:33:39,936
And I love our
working relationship and that...

667
00:33:39,937 --> 00:33:41,604
- that's why I'm here.
- Yeah.

668
00:33:41,605 --> 00:33:43,231
- I wanna keep it going.
- Yeah.

669
00:33:43,232 --> 00:33:48,737
I'm offering you a producorial role
on our biggest and best new franchise.

670
00:33:50,531 --> 00:33:51,697
<i>Kool-Aid</i>?

671
00:33:51,698 --> 00:33:53,199
- Yeah!
- Is that your offer?

672
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:54,493
It is.

673
00:33:55,285 --> 00:33:58,621
You're like a cat
bringing in a mutilated pigeon.

674
00:33:58,622 --> 00:34:00,623
Oh, I know.

675
00:34:00,624 --> 00:34:01,916
I talked to Stoller.

676
00:34:01,917 --> 00:34:04,836
You just want me to pull your ass
out of the fire to get him to sign on.

677
00:34:04,837 --> 00:34:07,380
Well, you need me to pull your ass
out of the fire too.

678
00:34:07,381 --> 00:34:09,966
You know, you're on your own, Patty.
You need a gig, okay?

679
00:34:09,967 --> 00:34:12,426
Matthew! So you offer me <i>Kool-Aid</i>?

680
00:34:12,427 --> 00:34:15,763
Like I want my name
on that monstrosity? Ew!

681
00:34:15,764 --> 00:34:17,515
That thing should've been
smothered in the crib.

682
00:34:17,516 --> 00:34:20,768
No, if I wanted to make that trash,
I'd still have my job.

683
00:34:25,357 --> 00:34:27,192
- Okay, here's my counter.
- Okay.

684
00:34:27,900 --> 00:34:30,319
I will call Stoller and get him
onboard on your movie.

685
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:31,904
- Great.
- But I will need...

686
00:34:31,905 --> 00:34:35,448
a three-year overall,
ten million overhead,

687
00:34:35,449 --> 00:34:39,454
two put pictures a year,
first look nonexclusive.

688
00:34:40,414 --> 00:34:41,497
No.

689
00:34:41,498 --> 00:34:42,916
Matty!

690
00:34:43,417 --> 00:34:44,917
No, look. Patty, look...

691
00:34:44,918 --> 00:34:47,628
I'm sorry, I just can't do it.
That's too good...

692
00:34:47,629 --> 00:34:50,464
Nobody in all of Hollywood
has a deal that lucrative.

693
00:34:50,465 --> 00:34:52,716
I don't care! You owe me everything!

694
00:34:52,717 --> 00:34:54,343
I don't owe you e... Look, I owe you a lot,

695
00:34:54,344 --> 00:34:57,680
I will give you that. I don't think
I owe you everything. I just can't do it.

696
00:34:57,681 --> 00:35:02,519
Matty, that job was my life,
just like it is yours, right?

697
00:35:03,395 --> 00:35:04,646
And without it...

698
00:35:06,857 --> 00:35:09,942
Without it, I'm afraid. I don't...

699
00:35:09,943 --> 00:35:15,406
I don't know if I can... I'm afraid.

700
00:35:15,407 --> 00:35:20,411
I'll give you $7 million a year,
no put pictures, fully exclusive.

701
00:35:20,412 --> 00:35:24,499
Eight million, one put picture,
and the budget's under five million.

702
00:35:26,543 --> 00:35:28,294
Fine, but you gotta be exclusive.

703
00:35:28,295 --> 00:35:30,004
No exclusivity!

704
00:35:30,005 --> 00:35:34,635
Those people railed me raw!
They railed me raw, Matty.

705
00:35:35,511 --> 00:35:36,512
Please.

706
00:35:37,054 --> 00:35:38,055
Okay, I'll do it.

707
00:35:39,515 --> 00:35:40,516
Deal.

708
00:35:42,351 --> 00:35:44,603
Matty, thank you.

709
00:35:45,437 --> 00:35:47,522
- Thank you.
- Thank you.

710
00:35:47,523 --> 00:35:49,273
Oh, thank you.

711
00:35:49,274 --> 00:35:52,027
Okay. Let's call Nick Stoller.

712
00:35:54,071 --> 00:35:57,824
Oh, you poor thing. You have to
kill Martin Scorsese's movie.

713
00:35:59,034 --> 00:36:03,329
I killed one of Warren's movies in '88
and he never slept with me again.

714
00:36:03,330 --> 00:36:05,123
I have the same fear with Marty.

715
00:36:06,166 --> 00:36:08,752
So, how do you feel in all this?

716
00:36:09,962 --> 00:36:12,797
You know, I've worked,
obviously a long time to get here.

717
00:36:12,798 --> 00:36:15,717
My... You know, my parents
are very thrilled, very proud.

718
00:36:16,343 --> 00:36:20,764
I think Griffin is, you know,
optimistic with the plan.

719
00:36:21,557 --> 00:36:24,268
Matty, not one of those words
is about how you feel.

720
00:36:25,894 --> 00:36:29,230
Yeah, I feel miserable, honestly.

721
00:36:29,231 --> 00:36:33,150
I'm anxious, I'm stressed out,
panicking pretty much all the time.

722
00:36:33,151 --> 00:36:34,777
I was so much happier two weeks ago

723
00:36:34,778 --> 00:36:37,113
when I was just angry and resentful
that I didn't have this job.

724
00:36:37,114 --> 00:36:39,866
I would give anything
to be angry and resentful

725
00:36:39,867 --> 00:36:41,577
compared to how I feel right now.

726
00:36:42,327 --> 00:36:45,496
You know, I walk past
the tour guide every morning

727
00:36:45,497 --> 00:36:48,249
and they say that the office was built
as a temple to cinema,

728
00:36:48,250 --> 00:36:50,919
but it feels much more like a tomb.

729
00:36:51,753 --> 00:36:53,088
Heavy is the head, Matty.

730
00:36:53,881 --> 00:36:55,840
Yeah. I'm honored, obviously,

731
00:36:55,841 --> 00:36:57,884
to be one of the people that
gets to choose, you know,

732
00:36:57,885 --> 00:36:59,719
which movies get made
and which ones don't.

733
00:36:59,720 --> 00:37:01,180
That's huge.

734
00:37:02,014 --> 00:37:05,766
And I got into all this,
'cause, you know, I love movies,

735
00:37:05,767 --> 00:37:12,274
but now I have this fear
that my job is to ruin them.

736
00:37:13,817 --> 00:37:15,569
The job is a meat grinder.

737
00:37:16,069 --> 00:37:19,615
It makes you stressed
and panicked and miserable.

738
00:37:20,282 --> 00:37:23,118
One week you're looking your idol
in the eye and breaking his heart,

739
00:37:23,619 --> 00:37:26,787
and the next week you're writing
a blank check for some entitled nepo baby

740
00:37:26,788 --> 00:37:27,873
in a beanie.

741
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,585
But when it all comes together,

742
00:37:32,711 --> 00:37:34,546
and you make a good movie...

743
00:37:37,132 --> 00:37:38,300
it's good forever.

744
00:37:41,386 --> 00:37:42,929
You'll make a great studio head.

745
00:37:42,930 --> 00:37:44,014
You know why?

746
00:37:45,307 --> 00:37:46,850
'Cause you had the best teacher.

747
00:37:52,189 --> 00:37:53,190
I still do.

748
00:38:03,617 --> 00:38:06,702
<i>I'm so glad I'm not the guy
who has to tell Marty his movie's dead.</i>

749
00:38:06,703 --> 00:38:07,954
<i>What are you gonna say to him?</i>

750
00:38:07,955 --> 00:38:09,455
I'm not gonna say shit to Marty.

751
00:38:09,456 --> 00:38:12,376
I talk to his agent on Monday and then
I avoid him for the rest of my life.

752
00:38:12,876 --> 00:38:14,669
Hopefully I just never see him again.

753
00:38:14,670 --> 00:38:16,629
- Hey, Matt! Hey!
- Oh, fuck me.

754
00:38:16,630 --> 00:38:21,759
- Marty! Hey, great to see you.
- Hey, Matt. Hey. Oh, God, hi.

755
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:22,844
- This is Sal.
- Hey.

756
00:38:22,845 --> 00:38:23,761
- Hi. Hello.
- Hi.

757
00:38:23,762 --> 00:38:25,137
- Hi, Matt.
- Yes.

758
00:38:25,138 --> 00:38:27,807
Matt, I have been thinking
nonstop about <i>Kool-Aid</i>.

759
00:38:27,808 --> 00:38:29,016
Oh, great. That's great.

760
00:38:29,017 --> 00:38:30,268
I mean <i>Kool-Aid</i>. I have some...

761
00:38:30,269 --> 00:38:33,229
And by the way, I got some great ideas
for actors to put around Buscemi, okay?

762
00:38:33,230 --> 00:38:34,397
Perfect. Great, yeah.

763
00:38:34,398 --> 00:38:37,108
And honestly, I couldn't have come to
the title <i>Kool-Aid</i> on my own.

764
00:38:37,109 --> 00:38:39,235
I mean, I can't believe that title.
It's fantastic.

765
00:38:39,236 --> 00:38:41,904
- I'm gonna take credit for it, okay?
- It's all yours.

766
00:38:41,905 --> 00:38:43,865
I love how your brain
doesn't stop working, Marty.

767
00:38:43,866 --> 00:38:45,992
But you know, we don't have to
talk shop at a party.

768
00:38:45,993 --> 00:38:49,496
Let's talk about something else.
You into sports, cars?

769
00:38:52,207 --> 00:38:53,208
What's going on?

770
00:38:53,959 --> 00:38:55,835
- Nothing.
- I mean, you're acting weird.

771
00:38:55,836 --> 00:38:58,045
There's something funny going on here.

772
00:38:58,046 --> 00:39:00,047
I'm pretty sure this is how I always act.

773
00:39:00,048 --> 00:39:01,924
I know this guy like the back
of my own dick.

774
00:39:01,925 --> 00:39:04,594
- This is classic Matt Remick right here.
- Yeah. Totally, yeah.

775
00:39:04,595 --> 00:39:07,805
No. This performance, it's inauthentic.

776
00:39:07,806 --> 00:39:09,599
I promise. It's nothing, yeah.

777
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:10,975
- I saw that look.
- What look?

778
00:39:10,976 --> 00:39:12,393
- I saw that look.
- Nope.

779
00:39:12,394 --> 00:39:13,978
It's a furtive look. It was furtive.

780
00:39:13,979 --> 00:39:16,480
- We were not being furtive.
- Never been furtive in my life.

781
00:39:16,481 --> 00:39:17,857
- No.
- Oh, no, that's furtive.

782
00:39:17,858 --> 00:39:20,861
I know furtive. If there's one thing
I know, it's furtive, okay?

783
00:39:22,362 --> 00:39:26,073
Look, Marty,
there's something you should know,

784
00:39:26,074 --> 00:39:31,078
and Sal is actually gonna take
the lead on this and tell you.

785
00:39:31,079 --> 00:39:32,288
- Sal?
- Yeah.

786
00:39:32,289 --> 00:39:34,374
- Now I talk?
- Now you talk.

787
00:39:36,668 --> 00:39:39,129
Marty, first of all, can I say,

788
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:41,715
you're the reason I'm in this business.

789
00:39:42,341 --> 00:39:45,427
Who the fuck are you,
and what are you trying to say?

790
00:39:45,928 --> 00:39:47,303
We're going in a different direction

791
00:39:47,304 --> 00:39:49,640
and we're not doing a Jonestown version
of <i>Kool-Aid</i>.

792
00:39:55,604 --> 00:39:58,440
You know what? I'm fine.

793
00:39:59,399 --> 00:40:00,400
Fine.

794
00:40:01,318 --> 00:40:03,027
All right, I mean, it's fucked up,

795
00:40:03,028 --> 00:40:07,448
but I got to tell you, Matt, honestly,
it's not surprising,

796
00:40:07,449 --> 00:40:10,618
because you're just another
run-of-the-mill, faceless,

797
00:40:10,619 --> 00:40:14,998
talentless, spineless suit.

798
00:40:16,667 --> 00:40:17,834
I have a face.

799
00:40:17,835 --> 00:40:20,211
Just give me back my movie
and let me go sell it to fucking Apple,

800
00:40:20,212 --> 00:40:22,047
the way I should have done
it in the first place.

801
00:40:23,674 --> 00:40:24,675
I can't do that.

802
00:40:26,552 --> 00:40:27,594
Let me get this straight.

803
00:40:28,971 --> 00:40:33,392
You bought my movie, just to kill it?

804
00:40:35,435 --> 00:40:36,520
- I did.
- He did.

805
00:40:45,112 --> 00:40:47,154
- We'll leave you alone, Mr. Scorsese.
- I loved <i>The Departed</i>.

806
00:40:47,155 --> 00:40:48,239
Shut up.

807
00:40:48,240 --> 00:40:49,323
- Oh, God, that was...
- Oh, no.

808
00:40:49,324 --> 00:40:51,158
...that was so much worse
than I thought it was gonna be.

809
00:40:51,159 --> 00:40:52,076
It sucked.

810
00:40:52,077 --> 00:40:53,369
God, he's crying.

811
00:40:53,370 --> 00:40:55,413
- He's sobbing. You made him sob.
- Martin. Why are you crying?

812
00:40:55,414 --> 00:40:56,581
- You made him sob.
- You told--

813
00:40:56,582 --> 00:40:58,583
- Are you okay?
- Fuck. Charlize is talking to him.

814
00:40:58,584 --> 00:40:59,542
- Shit.
- Jesus Christ.

815
00:40:59,543 --> 00:41:01,169
Damn it. He's telling her what happened.

816
00:41:01,170 --> 00:41:02,628
Little rat. Keep your fucking mouth shut.

817
00:41:02,629 --> 00:41:04,839
What a dick. Fuck, she's looking at us.

818
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,758
- It's okay, just... Fine, just be cool.
- She's gonna kick us out of the party.

819
00:41:07,759 --> 00:41:10,261
You're the head of a studio,
she's not kicking you out. Fucking chill.

820
00:41:10,262 --> 00:41:11,721
- Hey, Charlize. Hi.
- Hi, Charlize.

821
00:41:11,722 --> 00:41:12,972
Get the fuck out of here.

822
00:41:12,973 --> 00:41:14,724
- Okay, sorry. Thank you for having us.
- Yeah.

823
00:41:14,725 --> 00:41:15,808
Sorry, Marty.

824
00:41:15,809 --> 00:41:17,436
Fucking Jesus Christ.

825
00:41:18,770 --> 00:41:21,189
Hey, Matt Remick, right?

826
00:41:21,190 --> 00:41:23,065
Steve Buscemi. Hey.

827
00:41:23,066 --> 00:41:24,817
- Buscemi, but yeah.
- Oh, sorry, yeah.

828
00:41:24,818 --> 00:41:27,028
That's okay. I hear
we're making a film together.

829
00:41:27,029 --> 00:41:30,323
- Yeah, we are. Yeah, can't wait.
- Yeah.

830
00:41:30,324 --> 00:41:32,283
- How about Marty's script?
- Yeah.

831
00:41:32,284 --> 00:41:35,203
- Did it just, like, blow your mind?
- Yeah. It was amazing.

832
00:41:35,204 --> 00:41:38,331
- They should just give him the Oscar now.
- I know. It was really great stuff, yeah.

833
00:41:38,332 --> 00:41:41,668
And to think, we're gonna be
making Martin Scorsese's last movie.

834
00:41:43,045 --> 00:41:44,045
His what?

835
00:41:44,046 --> 00:41:45,296
He didn't tell you?

836
00:41:45,297 --> 00:41:46,380
- No.
- Oh, yeah.

837
00:41:46,381 --> 00:41:49,801
No. This is his swan song.
He's done after this.

838
00:41:50,427 --> 00:41:54,013
- Wow.
- I mean, what a true honor.

839
00:41:54,014 --> 00:41:55,681
- Yeah, it's--
- How lucky are we?

840
00:41:55,682 --> 00:41:57,683
So lucky. Amazing, right? Yeah.

841
00:41:57,684 --> 00:41:59,310
Hey, man, thank you for making it happen.

842
00:41:59,311 --> 00:42:01,395
- Thank you.
- Seriously. I'll see you on set.

843
00:42:01,396 --> 00:42:02,438
- Can't wait.
- All right.

844
00:42:02,439 --> 00:42:03,482
- Yeah, bye.
- Take care.

845
00:42:04,483 --> 00:42:05,651
Hey, Marty.

846
00:42:06,860 --> 00:42:08,946
Are you crying? What happened?

847
00:42:39,810 --> 00:42:41,894
Two martinis coming up.

848
00:42:41,895 --> 00:42:45,399
- Here you go, dude.
- Thank you, sir. Cheers.

849
00:42:57,870 --> 00:42:59,371
Even after what happened tonight,

850
00:43:00,163 --> 00:43:01,414
I still love watching this film.

851
00:43:01,415 --> 00:43:04,209
Oh, my God, yes. Marty's the GOAT.

852
00:43:05,711 --> 00:43:07,211
Don't think we can call him Marty anymore.

853
00:43:07,212 --> 00:43:10,591
- Oh, no. It's Mr. Scorsese.
- Yes. Very much so.

854
00:43:13,510 --> 00:43:17,054
- Lorraine Bracco's so fucking hot.
- Dude, Ray Liotta's so fucking hot.

855
00:43:17,055 --> 00:43:18,306
Yes!

856
00:43:18,307 --> 00:43:20,850
I heard Patty was fucking him
while they made this movie.

857
00:43:20,851 --> 00:43:24,228
- Shut the fuck up.
- Yeah. And I heard he has a huge dick.

858
00:43:24,229 --> 00:43:25,314
I believe that.

859
00:43:26,315 --> 00:43:27,357
Rest in peace, king.

860
00:43:28,192 --> 00:43:29,985
Rest in penis, king.
