Hey, Dinesh. I'm just, um, looking for Erlich. Have you seen him?
Oh, he went to the liquor store. Gotta keep the party going, you know?
Oh yeah. Yeah, Series B. Crazy, right?
Oh, it's unreal.
Yeah.
Almost like some of our users.
What? What... what does that mean?
Oh, "unreal" has so many meanings. "Fake," "paid for," "one person in Bangladesh pretending to be 6,000..."
Okay. Um... All right, Dinesh, um...
Oh, no. I don't want to know a fucking thing.
Okay then. Great. I won't tell you anything because nothing happened.
Great. Okay.
[Gilfoyle steps out of the shadows]
But if something did happen, and we're not saying it did, the fact remains that leaves us in a very advantageous position.
There's a lot of money on the table. And it would be a shame if that went away. You know what else would be a shame... is if I couldn't find my flash drive. Gilfoyle, have you seen my flash drive?
Right, the one with the zombie script on it?
Why yes, the zombie script that randomizes user action in platforms such as Pied Piper.
You mean so that fake users and click farms would be absolutely indistinguishable from real users?
Oh, I suppose. I mean, especially during due diligence, like the kind done by VCs or possible future reviews done by certain regulatory bodies. It also had photos of my auntie. Anyway, Gilfoyle, have you seen it?
I have not.
Mm, well, Richard, [places a flash drive on the ground] keep an eye out for it, will ya? Hey, Gilfoyle, you wanna come inside and help me get a new flash drive on WWW.staples.com?
Yeah, I think we're sort of done with the ruse.
