Hey, Mark. Great to see you. Come on in. I caught the show this morning.
MRMark Ravenhead
Oh, great. Thanks. Uh, where's Cyd?
She's out on a thing, but she's-- she thought it would be great for us to check in, and I'm su-- I'm a big fan.
MRMark Ravenhead
Thank you. Thanks. Uh, so Karyn tells me, uh, you want the full colonoscopy, huh?
Oh, dude. No, no. We both know, I think, how dumb these things are. You know how it is. It's just due diligence with all the turbulence, and, can I just-- just need to check a few boxes.
MRMark Ravenhead
Sure, sure. Thank you for the show of faith.
No, no. No-- No problem. Okay, right. [inhales] Okay, so this is embarrassing, but, um, just for the record, and just so we have it, um... You are not, and have never been a member of the Nazi Party of the United States, have you?
MRMark Ravenhead
Come on, Tom. You serious?
[Tom gestures to the manila folder with an awkward expression]
Thank you. Sorry to have to even ask. Uh, bu-bu-bu-bu-bah... And-- Oh, yes, the Hitler dog thing?
MRMark Ravenhead
Okay, the dog thing's bullshit.
Great. Great. I thought so.
MRMark Ravenhead
Different spelling.
Okay. Different spelling?
Okay. Uh, and this other one that came up, just to fend this off, have you ever read Mein Kampf?
MRMark Ravenhead
Uh... Yeah, couple of times, I guess.
Couple times? Are there Easter eggs in there you didn't get the first time? [laughs]
MRMark Ravenhead
[laughs] Look, I'm-- I'm just-- I'm interested in that period of history, Tom. Okay? I skimmed it.
Skimmed. Yeah. Thank you. And, um-- And what, specifically, do you find interesting about that period of history?
MRMark Ravenhead
The scale. The tragedy.
Hell yeah. Yeah. Which tragedy, sp-- specifically?
MRMark Ravenhead
Europe decimated. [scoffs] Seven million Germans, twenty million Russians, five million Poles.
Yeah. Just-- Just checking the till here, Mark, and it seems you're short a few million.
Hey baby, how about this for the eulogy? "Lester touched all of us."
WFWilla Ferreyra
I don't think you should do your speech.
No one else is gonna get here. I have to. I said I would.
WFWilla Ferreyra
Baby, I think it could be really bad for your campaign. I mean, I was just talking to those guys over there.
WFWilla Ferreyra
The Wolf Pack?!
Yea, Dad's old crew, back in the day.
WFWilla Ferreyra
Oh, Jesus. Okay, some of the stuff they got up to with Mo, you do not wanna be associated with.
Sure, no. I know. Still, it's complicated. It was a different time.
WFWilla Ferreyra
But it wasn't a time before they invented laws, was it?
MPMichele Pantsil
Connor? Hi. Sorry to interrupt. I'm Michele Pantsil. I'm-- I'm working on a study.
MPMichele Pantsil
I-- I spoke to Lester a lot toward the end. He always spoke so fondly of you.
Oh, I see you a mile away, sister. What, do you wanna dig through my treasure chest for some precious memory gems?
MPMichele Pantsil
No, I don't want to make anyone do anything they don't want to do.
Hey, if you wanna print something in your little book, you may print the following line: "Connor Roy was interested in politics at a very young age." That's it.
You know, uh, Greg... I know that, um... it wasn't cool, you know. The bottles, the attack.
[sighs] No, it didn't feel great.
I don't always like who I am, Greg.
Yeah, I-- I get that. But don't you think it might be just the right time for me to make a move?
Seriously, Greg? You're smart, you're ambitious, you're loyal. Why would I let you go? Come on.
Okay, wait. I have a thing, but I-- I'm reluctant to say.
[sighs] I-- I just-- I have some leverage, but I'm reluctant to use it. You know, in case it sours things for us.
I just-- Um... Well, I'm not bringing this up as any form of threat, but... [sighs] So, you know when you had me destroy those documents at Cruises?
[indistinct chatter from passersby]
I kept a few... o-- of them. Just in case I got in trouble, and 'cause I was worried that maybe I was destroying evidence of criminality.
So, like, I don't know. Would it be... I don't wanna bring anything up to you in a way that feels, like, horrible, but would it be bad for me to, like, mention those to you now?
Are you asking if you can blackmail me?
No, I'm not-- I would-- I would hate that. I like you, it's just, you know, context.
Very well. I accept your blackmail.
No, I'm not blackmailing you Tom--
Greg... I'm gonna accelerate you. Okay? New title. Ton more money, nice new office. You're moving up, you can throw away the training bra. Seat at the big table. You like that?
[Greg smiles and nods]
You fucki-- Look at you. Where are they, those papers?
[laughs] You're a fuckin' slime ball!
[slaps Gregs arms] Attaboy!
