[after closing the door on the trailer where an extra stands waiting in bikini] Who's that?
It's an extra. You're her favorite character.
What am I supposed to do with her?
Fuck her! What do you think?
You think I need you to pick up extras for me to bang?
Well, I did have to charm about 20 of them before I found one that would say yes.
Do you know how stupid this is?
I thought it'd make you happy?
No, it doesn't make me happy. I can't have an extra in my trailer. I got sexual harassment lawsuits coming out my ass as it is.
I never heard about those.
I don't tell you everything.
[Ari chances upon Vince and the gang going on a private jet while he flies to Geneva with John Ellis]
I can see that you're saving money by flying private again.
Not our dime. It's theirs. [gestures to Dolce and Gabbana models]
We're going to Geneva. That's Alan's boss right there. [points to John Ellis boarding the plane]
Ah, you're going to Geneva for me? [Notices Ari speechless] Something wrong?
Yeah. Listen, Vinnie, um, you're the only one in this town that I'm telling this to - I'm in a position where I can get you any job that we want for the rest of your career.
They're offering me Alan's position. They want me to run the studio.
It just came out of the blue. What do you think?
Ah I, I think I'd like us to finish what we started together, but...I think you gotta do what you gotta do, right?
[The gang is angry that a Frank Darabont project Josh Weinstein offered to meet them for has nothing for Vince]
JWJosh Weinstein
This is not TV, Vince.
WWeinstein
It's TV with Frank Darabont!
Know what Josh, sandbagging us like that was a real dick move.
WWeinstein
I thought it would be more impactful if you heard it straight from Frank.
What the hell's so wrong with going TV?
Nothing for David Hasselhoff or for you [to Weinstein], but for Vince, doing TV is ridiculous.
Yeah, but for you, doing Jamie-Lynn Sigler isn't. [gang stops to finally face Weinstein]
WWeinstein
You did Jamie-Lynn Sigler?
Yeah, it's been a pleasure as always, Josh.
WWeinstein
Wait a minute. Just hold on a second, at least read the script. It's Frank Darabont, he's a genius. Vince, there's lots and lots of money in TV.
I don't want to get stuck playing the same character for the next five years. I want to do movies.
He's still a movie star, you know.
WWeinstein
Lots of movie stars do TV. George Clooney did ER, for Chrissake.
That was before he was George Clooney. No one goes back, 'cause you don't get back to movies.
You didn't see Leo in the Growing Pains reunion.
WWeinstein
Well, maybe it's time for you to think about that part of your life being over. Maybe you're not gonna be a movie star anymore. [pause] Look guys, I'm sorry. I'm just telling you what nobody else in this town has the balls to.
[gets in Weinstein's face] Why don't you walk away, Josh? Walk away.
[Ari confronts Amanda Daniels as John Ellis also offered her the studio presidency]
ADAmanda Daniels
Fuck you, Ari. You can kiss your relationship with that studio goodbye.
No, [points to Amanda] you can kiss your motherfucking dream job goodbye, 'cause you're right. I didn't want this job, but now I'm gonna take it just to spite you! [goes out of room and calls Lloyd] Lloyd. Yeah, call John Ellis. Tell him I'm gonna close this motherfucking deal.
[Lloyd sees Ari study some ledgers from Andrew Klein]
His books. Company books. Gave 'm to me to prove that he can pay me back.... What am I doing? You're Asian, you're supposed to be good with numbers. Figure out if he has any shot at paying me back, because if he doesn't, you will!
[Seeing Jason Patric steal Vince's lines, Turtle and Drama plan their own counterstrike]
Took the opportunity to inflict a little damage.
You took a shit in his trailer?
...let's just say revenge is best served "a la commode."
[Babs is irritated at Ari crashing "The Most Powerful Women in Hollywood" testimonial party]
Ladies, I'm sorry I'd like to congratulate each and every one of you, but unfortunately, Barbara's cock [women gasp in shock] is all I can handle right now! Congrats again...[leaves]
[Turtle and Jamie-Lynn Sigler have some bonding time on the road]
JLJamie-Lynn Sigler
What's your plan?
SSigler
Your life, do you have one?
It might not look it, but I've pondered a few things.
SSigler
Oh yeah? Like what? [Turtle laughs] Oh I'm sorry. I didn't mean to put you in the spotlight like that.
It's okay, things haven't exactly panned out, career-wise.
SSigler
Why don't you take over this limo business, and I'll be the driver.
[thinks about her offer] Hot girls driving limos...I love that. Call it "Lim-hoes."
SSigler
[Laughs] I don't know about the name. [pinches Turtle]
Not sure about having a business partner who's in jail, either.
[Ari and Dana Gordon confront Verner Vollstedt over his problems in shooting Smoke Jumpers with Vince, who's present along with E]
VVVerner Vollstedt
I'm not gonna take anymore of this shit.
Oh yes, you fucking are. Get your ass back here! [Verner walks back to her; Dana keeps pointing a finger at him] I hired you and you have a movie to finish that you are getting paid a lot of money to do and [raises voice] that's exactly what is going to fucking happen! Do you understand me!?
I do. Anyone else turned on right now?
[Drama's cousin Ronnie has offered him a chance to invest in a bar and a call from Jamie-Lynn Sigler for Turtle has just changed his outlook]
Hey Ronnie, you tell Phil that if this place is henceforth known as Johnny Drama's, I'm in.
Yeah. [stands and addresses crowd] Hey everyone, I got an announcement to make. The drinks are on me...[crowd cheers] or should I say, the drinks are on...the house! [crowd cheers louder and Drama high-fives Ronnie]
[Vince walks out of the house after Gus Van Sant politely tells him he is not needed for his latest project. E follows him]
EEEric 'E' Murphy
Vince, Vince..
I don't wanna talk about this right now, E.
It'll gonna be alright. We just turned a leaf. Things didn't go as planned, and everything's gonna turn out fine.
[turns back to E] Really? You're sure? You're so fucking sure, how do you really know?
Just like you knew about this? Ari told you No, and you kept pushing. Not only did you embarrass yourself, you embarrassed me.
Embarrassed you? Gus Van Sant likes you.
Do you believe him? C'mon, he wouldn't let me audition. Who knows if he even watched the footage?
No! We said, we swore that this year, we would listen to Ari, and guess what? Again, you didn't.
What am I supposed to do? Do nothing and stand idly by in the hope that something magically appears?
Yeah, maybe, and since you've been my manager, everything that you've pushed for has brought me to this point.
You serious? I've been the one working to get you what you want when no one else cared.
Yeah, that maybe what I needed, someone who would look out for my career and not my personal interests.
Whatever it is you're doing, clearly it wasn't working. Two years ago, I was starring in movies, now people wouldn't let me audition?
One person wouldn't let you audition, you gotta stay positive Vince, you know that.
Are you serious? I've done nothing but stay positive. I've listened to everything that you wanted me to do, and now I've got a house full of people who can really see how a failure I've turned into.
No, when we started this, we said when we started this that it will all be about the business not the friendship. It's time for a change, E.
[realizes Vince's words] You're firing me?
'Cause this isn't working.
Whatever, I'm not gonna grovel. Go find someone better, 'Cause I can live with myself knowing I busted my ass and I gave everything I had to you.
I know you did E, but it wasn't enough.
[Lloyd confronts Ari a second time over his promotion prospects.]
LLLloyd Lee
Do you have any plan to promote me?
I haven't even thought about it.
[louder] Ari, promote me, or I'm leaving you!
Leaving me? [laughs] Where would you go?
Another agency? Lloyd, you have to start all over again. You know that.
Well, I'll go work for my father.
What, in the dry cleaners?
My father has a winery in Napa.
I don't think sodomy is legal in Napa, Lloyd. [laughs with Andrew Klein]
[after short pause] Every time I have broached this subject over the years, you have responded with some wise-ass comment. The time has come, I want to know if this is gonna happen. I want to know when, and I want to know today-
[stands up during Lloyd's speech] I WILL NOT BE STRONG-ARMED, LLOYD!
You just were, Ari Gold! [walks back to station]
AKAndrew Klein
Tough queer.
[Vince is optimistic about his prospects of an award over Gatsby]
I'd just be happy to avoid a Razzie.
There's nothing wrong with a Razzie.
Johnny's gonna go for the hat-trick if he ever does another movie.
I only have one Razzie, asshole.
