All right, all right.
[JAY.]
All right, all right.
Now, speaking of sex And I have to ask - Yes.
- The tape.
[CROWD MURMURS, JEERS.]
Well, yeah, fellas, we all want to know.
- What tape, Jay? - All right, all right.
"What tape?" Yeah.
Now, obviously, I haven't seen it, you know.
- No, of course not.
- I want to.
Just haven't gotten a copy yet, but There's a tape out there floating around, okay? - Mm.
- A lot of people are talking about this tape, particularly, for some reason, men.
Ha.
Imagine that.

Oh, I think we have it.
Now, what's that like, huh? What's it like to have that kind of exposure? - What's it like? - Yeah.

How's it going? [MUSIC STOPS.]
Good.
[SAW WHIRRING.]
Rad.
- This strong enough? - Yeah, plenty.
Uh, 1,000-pound max.
[GRUNTS.]
[CHUCKLES.]
Whoo! It's gonna be sick, yo.
[CHUCKLES.]
[LAUGHS.]
You know what? What if the bed was over here? Then you could be, like, chilling in bed, taking in a little sexy shower action, and then bam! Mirror opens! [IMITATING MECHANICS BUZZING.]
Fucking full 360 view! How fucking pimp would that be, huh? Um you know, that's really more of a carpentry issue.
What do you say? Uh - I mean - There a problem, bro? I just finished this.
So? You yank out a couple of nails.
It's just a little more complicated than that.
[TOMMY.]
How complicated can it be? Couple of pieces of wood.
- It's not impossible, man.
- Then what's the problem? I mean, look, moving it at this stage, it's gonna cost.
[TOMMY.]
Cost? I don't give a fuck about cost.
I sold 50 million albums.
You think I can't afford to fucking move a bed ten feet to the left? No, of course you can.
[TOMMY.]
What'd I say when we first started this job? Money is no object.
"Correctamundo.
" Therefore, that being the case, is there a reason you can't move the bed a few feet to the left so that I can have a 360 view of the shower and the retractable mirror? Nope.
Great.
Then fucking do it.
[DISTANT ENGINE TURNING OVER.]
Fucking dick.
I put the bed exactly where he said.
I know.
- We discussed it at length.
- I was there.
I'm like, "Are you sure that's where you want the bed?" He's like, "I'm positive.
" And then he just changes his mind.
It's like, at least take responsibility for it, you know, own up to it.
He acts like it's my fucking fault, like I picked a bad spot for his bed.
It's the same shit he pulled with the light switches.
- I remember.
- He said he wanted them high.
And then one day he comes in "No, no, no.
I want them low.
" That's bullshit, man.
We heard you say high.
We all heard it.
What's happening here? Fucking rockstars.
It's gonna cost a grand to move that bedframe, at least.
This guy already owes me $8,200.
Owes me almost $15,000.
You said he'd pay us half up front.
- Are you sure? - Positive.
- So what the fuck? - [ENGINE TURNING OVER.]
Also, whole job on my Discover card, at 18% interest.
[ROCK MUSIC.]
Fucking rockstars.

[THOUGHTFUL MUSIC.]
[STATIC HISSING.]
I mean, aren't you guys supposed to give me, like, a final warning or something? - [PERSON.]
That is your warning.
- Well, no, this is a notice.
Like, you didn't say, "If you don't pay your bill by such and such day, we're gonna cut off your cable.
" You know, that would be a warning.
[PERSON.]
Our records indicate you're three months past due.
Okay.

Excuse me, sorry, did you say waterbed just now? [LAUGHS.]
What? [RAND.]
Motherfucker wants a waterbed.

Maybe he meant it, like, figuratively.
Waterbed is not a metaphor, man.
He meant He meant a real waterbed.
Oh, my God, he is He's a fucking Out of his mind is what he is.
A waterbed is a whole other setup.
You need a heater.
You need a liner bed.
You need an elevated deck.
All that costs money, a fuckload of money.
You'll just have to explain it to him.
- Me? - You're the structure guy.
This is a budget issue! Well, he's gonna have construction questions.
You're way better equipped to explain.
No, fuck.
no! I'm not talking to that guy.
- Fine, we'll flip for it.
- I would like that.
- Heads or tails? - Tails all day.
Heads.

Hey.
Uh, yo, about the waterbed they're expensive, man.
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
[LONNIE.]
What'd he say? - MINO? - Turn it over.
"Money is no object.
" He says the waterbed is nonnegotiable, that it's a key part of his vision.
[SIGHS.]
Only if he pays up front, any and all overages.
Right, yes, yes.

[MUTTERING.]
Hmm.
Hello.
We're gonna take that asshole down a peg.

[CHUCKLES.]
[LONNIE.]
[CHUCKLES.]
Man, long time, no see.
What the fuck is this? The times the new crew came and went in August and September paparazzi arrivals and departures Tommy and Pamela sleep hours.
Damn.
[WAITER.]
Are you ready? Yes.
We certainly are.
We enter here, the shortest point in the fence.
We exit through here.
This gate opens automatically from the inside.
Easy-peasy.
Not so fast.
There's still the not-so-small issue of the security camera.
Disable it.
They'll still see us on the approach.
Aren't we gonna be, like, wearing some ski masks or something? Disguising our identity is not the problem.
This security camera is connected to a 24-hour offsite surveillance team.
They see us coming, cops will be rolling up before we get to the garage.
So we're screwed.
Not if they don't see us coming.
You really think this is gonna work? The quality on these cameras is shit.
As long as we stay on all fours, we will look like that dog.
- I don't know about this, man.
- I used to install them, okay? The feed, it's like the fucking moon landing.
[SIGHS.]
Okay, maybe this isn't such a good idea.
[DISTANT ENGINE TURNING OVER.]
You're getting cold feet on me.
- We could go to jail.
- No one's going to jail.
It's It's a crime.
We're committing a crime.
All we're doing is getting our money back in a slightly different form.
- The stuff in there - Yeah.
- What if it's worth more? - Than he owes us? - Mm-hmm.
- That is "compentory" damages for our pain and our suffering.
People spill hot coffee on themselves at McDonald's, they get $50 million.
You don't think, after the hell he put us through, we deserve a measly couple hundred grand? I think we do.
Isn't it "compensatory"? I don't know what you're talking about.
Compensatory damages.
"Compentory.
" I'm pretty sure the word is "compensatory.
" "Compentory.
" [UPBEAT JAZZ MUSIC.]
"Compensatory.
" [PHONE RINGS.]
Hello? [RAND.]
Tomorrow, 0300 hours, we strike.

- I was there.
I'm like, "Are you sure that's where you want the bed?" He's like, "I'm positive.
" And then he just changes his mind.
It's like, at least take responsibility for it, you know, own up to it.
He acts like it's my fucking fault, like I picked a bad spot for his bed.
It's the same shit he pulled with the light switches.
- I remember.
- He said he wanted them high.
And then one day he comes in "No, no, no.
I want them low.
" That's bullshit, man.
We heard you say high.
We all heard it.
What's happening here? Fucking rockstars.
It's gonna cost a grand to move that bedframe, at least.
This guy already owes me $8,200.

We certainly are.
We enter here, the shortest point in the fence.
We exit through here.
This gate opens automatically from the inside.
Easy-peasy.
Not so fast.
There's still the not-so-small issue of the security camera.
Disable it.
They'll still see us on the approach.
Aren't we gonna be, like, wearing some ski masks or something? Disguising our identity is not the problem.
This security camera is connected to a 24-hour offsite surveillance team.
They see us coming, cops will be rolling up before we get to the garage.
So we're screwed.
Not if they don't see us coming.
You really think this is gonna work? The quality on these cameras is shit.
As long as we stay on all fours, we will look like that dog.
- I don't know about this, man.

- What if it's worth more? - Than he owes us? - Mm-hmm.
- That is "compentory" damages for our pain and our suffering.
People spill hot coffee on themselves at McDonald's, they get $50 million.
You don't think, after the hell he put us through, we deserve a measly couple hundred grand? I think we do.
