Industry (2020) s01e02 Episode Script
Quiet and Nice
1
Why are you here, then?
I think this is the closest thing
to a meritocracy there is.
I only ever want to be judged
on the strength of my abilities.
And paid for it.
Welcome, graduates.
While it's my pleasure
to congratulate you
on this placement,
the work to stay here starts now.
He works on my team.
He's a whole snack.
If you're into that
kind of a thing, I guess.
Do you do you know Gus?
Yeah, I live with him.
I know a lot about you two.
Have you been home?
I'm longing those nocturnal hours.
Trying to make a good
impression, you know?
Do not forget how this feels right now.
Oh, fuck!
Shove that cock in my
little asshole, please.
Yes! Come on. Come inside me.
Yes.
My pussy In my pussy Yeah.
Come on. Move, move, move.
Go on, right to the end.
That's right. Good.
Move, move, move. Good.
Good work. Keep going.
Big push. Right to the end. Go.
Perfect technique.
Maybe I should wear you to work.
I actually had to pay for these.
Thank you.
I did your Asia recap.
It's on your email.
I came in early and listened live.
That's good initiative, that.
It'd be good to get off the
desk sometime, have a debrief.
Coffee, beer, whatever.
Talk about your progress,
how to position yourself before RIF.
- I'm evaluated on it, so
- Yeah. Yeah, that'd be great.
Tomorrow? Oh, fuck no,
we have that grad dinner.
Maybe Friday?
Yeah. Yeah.
Um, in the day would be good.
Uh, 'cause I have plans
with my boyfriend in the evening.
I know you didn't mean
that like that, did you?
Uh
So, I know for a fact
a lot of people are
active on the street.
I wanna know why the flows
aren't coming our way.
Well, 80 percent of my guys are away.
- Mykonos or Ibiza?
- Did the girls enjoy Disneyland?
Cost me three G's for
my daughters to find out
Goofy's a Moroccan kid with a tiny head.
Hell is the line at Space Mountain.
Especially if you're
behind a Make-A-Wish.
All right, let's, uh,
let's convince some people
to part with their money in
the hope that they make more.
Yes, chef.
- Does he always change on the floor?
- It's an MD power thing.
What's the deal with Fenmarsh?
I haven't heard from Felim.
Called twice daily,
couldn't get past the junior.
- Did you say you worked for me?
- Yes.
Okay. Call every hour.
I got a meeting.
Oh, that's my broker laugh.
I only do it for you.
Because I find you so funny, of course.
Well, look, if it's not my client laugh,
then it's probably my
genuine laugh, yeah.
You'll never know which is which.
Speak soon.
He really didn't want to go away.
This Felim thing's got him spooked.
What do you think's going on?
I don't know.
But it doesn't bode well
for Eric's exclusivity thing.
Eric insists all his clients
only speak to him streetwide.
And Felim accounts for
over half the desk profits.
Look, if anyone comes
over my fucking hoot again
instead of messaging me,
I will personally bocat their mothers!
I think I'm gonna try and do an Ironman
or the Marathon des Sables.
With no training, obviously.
The guy gave me a freebie, so
No, I just wanted to
Yeah.
Could I put you on hold
for two seconds, please?
Where would you put
yourself on that continuum?
What is this?
So, if a nurse is here
where are you?
Wages on the Y axis
heel height on the X.
You've got very good privacy settings.
- Very good.
- What are you hiding?
I I was wearing a
low-cut top in a profile pic
when I was, like, 14.
Yeah, our DMs are a cesspit.
Bobbi went dark for, like, three months.
It felt like three lifetimes.
Guys online violate their standards
quicker than they can lower them.
That's hilarious.
You're funny. She's funny.
Thank you.
You look like you pay the rent on time.
Yeah. I work in finance.
It's not as interesting
as what you guys do.
We're just living.
Oh, we love that you're
a working woman, though.
Is that why you made me come at lunch?
Anyway, we're sort of past the point
where we want to be waking up
to random guys in the kitchen.
That's a shame. I was sort
of looking forward to a
stream of uncut dicks.
I love your place.
It's so white.
- We're exorcising demons.
- It's our new favorite color.
Mine too.
Felim's junior is a brick wall.
How many questions did you ask him
before you asked for his boss?
There are too many saleswomen
here trying to be salesmen.
I mean, how many people do you
think call Felim's junior a day?
I dunno, seven?
Why seven?
It's the first number
that came into my head.
And the amount of apartments
I've seen this week.
And how many women call him?
And how many women actually engage him?
You see, then you belong
to a nice, exclusive subset.
And you know, it's not
betraying your sex by
I mean, it's not regressive
to be a conversationalist.
You convince them you're a friend,
and they'll forget what they are.
- Which is?
- A counterparty.
What the fuck have you
done to that stock, Phil?
What do I mean? I mean you
rigged it five percent
Start of every call, flip it,
and don't talk business
until it runs out.
- This is unbelievable.
- This is beautiful.
- Dig in, please.
- Wow. Thank you so much.
This is fucking grown-up.
I I need to do
the honorable thing
here and lower the tone.
- Gentleman's cutlery.
- Put it away.
That can't be good for your palette.
Uh, I can eat on K.
And I pay your boyfriend's wages.
The company pays my wages.
What? So we are calling
my little venture
- a company, are we?
- Yeah.
I mean, it is fair to
say that I single-handedly
revolutionized student journalism, so
Yasmin, how did you have the time?
Oh, honestly, it's nothing.
- I did most of it this morning.
- Hmm.
When, uh, when did you do it all?
Uh, this this morning.
Oh I'm sorry. I'm
sorry, that was super rude.
- Oh.
-
Mom, it's Seb's birthday.
I need to hang this.
Wow. Let me grab that.
Is that Yasmin?
Happy birthday, Sebastian.
Thank you.
I hear you've moved
yourself into my basement.
Uh, yeah.
Very touched that you're using
one of your non-dom days on me.
Can I Can I get you a drink?
Oh.
Of course.
Beautiful house, Mrs. Kara-Hanani.
Why do people like this game?
It dispenses joy and misery at random.
- Hmm.
- Mimics life.
Great.
I've got this
performatively left-wing mate
who's high up at The
Guardian, and he is saying
that they're gonna run
a warts-and-all exposé
on Pierpoint.
- Really?
- Yeah.
About Hari?
And more.
Fucking wanker!
- Here we go!
- Come on!
- Oh, yes, chef!
- Absolutely not!
That's, like, four each. I
need to see another apartment.
My advice, turn up drunk. Easier.
I hate you, Robert Spearing.
Cheers, mate.
I've been thinking
about asking to transfer
to sales and trading.
Salespeople are the lowest of the low.
You are different, because
you think for yourself.
I mean, look, okay too intellectual.
See, now you look like a salesman.
Okay. But I can't see, so
I have seen you in contacts.
- Chin-chin!
- Chin-chin!
Do you like the room?
- It's a bit
- Fucking tiny.
Everything is en suite.
Hey did you vote for Trump?
So, what do you do?
I
- am in sales.
- Oh.
For a bank Pierpoint.
Isn't that where that guy died?
How do you sleep at night?
- What does that mean?
- I mean You know
No, I don't. You're
gonna have to tell me.
Bankers.
That level of self-interest
is just toxic, isn't it?
That's kind of reductive.
But isn't it a bit gauche
to judge success with money?
Not if you've never had any.
I can't believe you
would even countenance
wasting your intelligence
on the trading floor.
Fuck off! It was a joke!
This looks like a place
a salesman would live.
It's got a certain rustic charm to it.
- Rustic charm, you say?
- Yeah, it does.
- Does it?
- Either of you want a bevvie?
No, I'm good, I didn't
Um
- Uh, where's the toilet?
- It's just down on your left.
On the left, okay. Um
Just, uh
When the fuck did that start up again?
Nothing's started Can
we not talk about it now?
All right.
Is that Yasmin Kara-Hanani?
Yeah. Doesn't look
like she slums it, mate.
You know, why are women so
much more interesting to men,
than men are to women?
Yasmin was the perfect, perfect child.
And she wet her bed until she was nine.
Ah, I have a weak bladder myself.
But, other than that, she was perfect.
She was adorable.
So, we've just found the next big voice
in contemporary British literature.
She's 19, absolutely gorgeous.
The best part of publishing
is discovering new talent.
Do you have any advice
for an aspiring writer?
Mmm. Marry rich?
Or live at home.
Mmm, so, how many jobs have you had
since you left Bristol?
I'm losing count.
Um
Well, I was waiting
for something I loved.
Correct answer.
And, uh, you're still the lunch girl?
You have no experience of this,
so how would you know?
Okay, that's not the world anymore.
And can you please speak English?
I know how the world works.
Has the, um dynamic
changed since Alice moved in?
Yeah.
And it's, um, it's nice,
living in two places.
I like having her around all the time.
We have a lot less sex.
Well, I guess that's a casualty.
Oh, I listened to that, um,
podcast she recommended on clean eating.
Thought it was excellent.
Followed none of the advice.
Wait, sorry, um, when
did you speak to her?
Met her at a dinner party.
- Whose?
- Eugene's.
We have mutual friends.
Uh, and what did you talk about?
Podcasts.
Okay.
Oh, God. I remember this
Millionaire, 25. Cabinet, 35.
Party leader, 45. Prime minister, 55.
You know, Heseltine wrote his
on the back of an envelope.
You planned your life
in a copy of Vanity fucking Fair.
Yeah.
Your ambitions obviously
shifted focus
just a little bit.
Or is that you are just
following my lead.
You are always so hard for me.
Kiss me properly.
Uh
I'm feeling a bit bilious
Hey I don't want to do that.
Do what?
- Uh
- Hey.
I'm sorry.
Look, you're
you're obviously stressed.
If this job isn't making you happy
I'm just saying that
you're super talented
and you could do a million things.
Interest rates have fluctuated
from the highs of the early '90s
to the current all-time lows.
For a business that has a loan
that is linked to the base rate
Yeah, I've literally seen 20 places.
A lot of eccentrics.
Maybe I'm the weirdo.
Not sure what I'm gonna do.
Thanks for your transcript, finally.
But
I have a few more questions.
We wanted to
ask you about
any interactions you
might have had with Hari?
Um
We hung out a few times.
Mm-hmm. Did he seem stressed?
He worked really hard.
But you know, his
side of the business
that nocturnal culture
Oh, we're taking steps to address that.
Did you see him take anything?
How do you mean?
Did he seem like he was under
the influence of anything?
Uh study drugs? Adderall? Modafinil?
- I wouldn't say so.
- He seemed, as you said,
stressed, agitated, unfocused,
so you couldn't rule it out?
I couldn't definitively say yes or no.
I mean do you want me to?
People are saying he had a heart thing.
Hmm. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
But we were unaware of his condition.
We think a prescription pill
habit may have exacerbated it.
We're asking graduates
whether they neglected
to mention anything
on their applications.
You didn't leave anything out, did you?
Medical or otherwise?
No.
I think they're still figuring out
a splashy response. Press-friendly.
And what does that mean for us?
Means someone's going
to be held accountable.
I re-ran the model. I
don't think we thoroughly
went through the net debt adjustments.
HungerFix pushed Goldman
up to primary bookrunner.
They don't want us anywhere
near the top of the tombstone.
It's fucking bad PR.
Sorry, what do you mean, "tombstone"?
You get a little trophy
when you complete a deal.
Tombstone.
Nobody is questioning your drive,
but for me, please, come
in later, leave earlier,
decompress.
I cannot be seen to be mismanaging you.
Have you spoken to the counselor?
No.
Even if you feel you don't need to,
I need you to. Do you
understand what I'm saying?
It's good optics.
It wasn't a waste of
time. He helped me
re-evaluate.
So the first Cobb is
with bacon, no Stilton,
and the second one is without bacon.
Yeah, that's what I've given you.
Sorry, I specifically said
no dressing on any of them.
We're just gonna have to
start again, sorry. And
Muy bien, gracias.
Ugh, God.
I can't believe I didn't
know you were at Pierpoint.
- Well done.
- Thank you.
Although it must be a weird
time to be there, right now.
Oh, but how's Brevan Howard?
How long have you been there now?
- Seven years in Tibet.
- Oh.
No, no, no. It's a good thing.
- I have their blessing.
- Oh.
Can't really talk about
it much at the moment.
- So, what are you working in?
- Oh, Foreign Exchange.
That's great!
We're in the same part of the business.
Thanks.
Welcome to the Wild West.
Gracias. Mucho gracias.
I just think, you know, if
I had biceps like that
with the vein running down
it, that that bulge.
- You know, like
- Zac Efron.
- Yeah, the Zac Efron.
- The Zefron.
Yeah, I know I should be
thinking about other things,
like the suicide rate among
men my age or whatever,
but is that really realistic?
I just think the veiny bicep
You think Pierpoint's Irish,
you should go out with
Morgan Stanley guys,
it's like the fucking Irish Mob.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Um you going to that,
um, grad dinner tonight?
Yeah. Well, it's mandatory, isn't it?
Right.
Can I help with something?
Yeah. Do you have access
to the FX ClientTracker?
I don't We, um, we
just don't have a full list
of shared FX and CPS clients.
I'm not sure I can share it with you.
Yeah. Don't worry, I
don't need full access.
I just, um one of my
clients is double-booked
with one of your guys.
And, um, you know how it is.
I just want to iron out the kink.
Sure, yeah, um what's
your client's name?
Uh
Oh shit, he's not there.
My bad. See you at the dinner.
Okay.
Thank you.
- Where's my change?
- Oh, sorry.
Amateur.
You should be making money out of this.
Call it a salad yield.
And
I won't out you now,
but remember you owe me.
- What do you mean?
- I asked for croutons.
You never asked for croutons.
Tash! Croutons. Do I eat them?
I'm passionate about croutons.
Remember, all the best friendships
- start with a conspiracy.
- Okay, Kenny.
Best part of the day,
Yasmin's trade idea.
Be ready to have your mind detonated.
- Oh, wait, just
- This is for your growth, okay?
You're part of this desk, so
you're part of its rituals.
Pull up a pew.
And imagine I burst into
flames when I'm bored.
- Go!
- Um
Okay, I thought we could short cable
What's cable?
Um, it's dollar-sterling.
Oh, so you're gonna
talk about Europe, then?
What's your target and stop?
Uh, 1.25 to 1.35.
So a symmetric bet from 1-spot-3-0?
Why not just flip a
coin? Put it all on black.
The art here is to look
like you're not doing that.
Yeah, I just thought with
everything that's going on
- with Europe at the moment, that we could
- Well, that's fucking specific.
Yasmin, that is uninspired.
Inspire her.
I could put a hundred
grads in front of me,
95 would pitch me that.
You're dead on RIF.
Now, what did we prove?
Did I ask for croutons?
You must have done.
Well remembered. You can get up now.
How was lunch?
Tasteless.
Did you get my message?
Felim's in the building this afternoon.
Is he meeting FX research?
Um, Hilary Wyndham?
Why the fuck is he
meeting another salesman?
If Felim wants to trade FX,
he knows he can do it through this desk.
- What time is he in?
- Four.
You around at 3:50?
Yeah.
Why?
There are many aspects of this job
that you'll learn by osmosis,
but horse-whispering
a fucked-off client
that's an art.
I'm giving you face time with
the guy who gets us all paid.
Go on. Take a swing.
Okay, 3:50. Thank you.
Mm-hmm.
Felim, I knew you'd be ten minutes early
- for your meeting.
- Eric.
I wanted to introduce you to
one of our brightest grads.
Harper Stern.
Pleasure.
We actually already
emailed. I sent you that
US tail risk stuff.
Oh, that was you? That was excellent.
Thank you.
Please.
Look, uh
Eric, I'm not sure this is
the right way to go about whatever it is
you're trying to achieve.
Engineering this,
bringing this young lady
into the room as
I don't know what, a prop?
I would've thought
that if our relationship
had gone south, you'd
have the grace to call.
Instead of me finding out over lunch
with one of your PMs.
I told him in confidence.
Well, he told me in confidence.
Look, I'm hoping we're
not ruining a friendship
over miscommunication.
Would we call it a friendship?
What? Why are you saying that?
I don't know, Eric, maybe
you think it's acceptable
to call your wife that in
front of her own friends,
but my wife did not appreciate it.
Ca
Do you even remember what you said?
Because I'd prefer not to repeat it.
I look for character
in my friends, Eric.
I look for character in
my salesmen, or saleswomen.
Wai wai what's
really going on here?
Why why are you talking to me like
like we're in the Great American Novel?
My "character"?
You know my character.
I know you're meeting
Wyndham in FX, so you
you obviously don't want to relinquish
the Pierpoint offering.
Citi, MS, GS don't have our talent.
And Wyndham?
I mean, he he's into soccer.
You wanna spend the first two minutes
of every transaction
pretending to like it?
Here Here's where I'm serious.
When you're writing your
next investor letter,
do you really wanna be
meditating on the fact
that you missed a
percentage point of returns
because of your wife?
Right?
You call me when you need persuading.
You call me when you need reassuring.
That's a friendship.
Why waste your time
building that intimacy again?
Next next time our
wives want dinner
I'm gonna say I have a bug.
Oh, Hilary?
Good to see you. We're vacating.
You catch the Spurs last night?
Oh yes, yes. They ran riot.
Sure did. Enjoy your meeting.
Yeah, I inherited two suboptimal things
from my father,
his Spurs season ticket and flat feet.
Why didn't you speak up?
Sorry. I I didn't know
that you wanted me to.
I don't need quiet and nice on my desk.
This this stays between us. Clear?
- Mm-hmm.
- See you at dinner.
So, we just wanted to
get everyone together
because it has been
a difficult few weeks.
For our institution, for all of us,
pastoral care is as high on the agenda
as it's ever been.
We wanted to show you
how much we appreciate
your resilience and focus,
from myself and all
your bosses here tonight.
They'll be the ones
shepherding you through to RIF
and, ultimately, help you
to become permanent hires.
You are looking more and
more like Pierpoint people.
Enjoy.
So, I hear the girl on Eric's desk
is already doing suppers,
and I was just wondering,
you know, do you think I'll
ever master the salad run,
or, like
Jackie did it. Kenny did
it. I did it. You do it.
It is the great equalizer.
And it all counts on RIF.
What have you learned so far?
That, um, that men
eat salads as penance.
Oh! Yeah.
Mate, if it was me, I'd be pissed.
- Why?
- She's missed his birthday,
she's like sold her entire personality
- to Meryl Streep.
- So what? Who cares?
If your girlfriend missed
your birthday, right? For work?
What are you, seven? It's Anne Hathaway.
Adrian Grenier is a fucking adult.
Honestly, Adrian Grenier
is a grown-ass man.
- Thank you! She's woke.
- You sound so white!
- Yeah and ancient.
- I am ancient. And I am white.
And I do kiss my dogs on the mouth.
You know, I thought you were some
- straight-laced Oxford boy.
- Yeah?
Mm-hmm.
Who says I'm not?
So, my flatmate
Gus, he told me you lived opposite Hari.
You're friends with that asshole Gus?
Have you met him?
No, but from what Hari said about him,
he seems like an entitled prick.
Yeah
- but you don't know him.
- Hmm.
Are those prescription glasses?
Have you ever seen a
porno, where, like, a
porn star plays a nerd?
Yo, can you stop flirting
so I can do a strike, please?
Oh, ice.
Hey, Greg.
I'm fine. Uh, I would
like to pilot the scheme
that I did at my old place here.
- I Yeah, I heard about that.
- Did you hear about the couriering?
I heard I heard brilliant things.
- I heard about that.
- Korean Korean breast milk
- Hello.
- Sara.
- Hi.
- Could I ask you something?
Yes. Yes, you can. Sorry, excuse me.
Do you do you wanna go over here?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Go, go ahead.
How's the atmosphere been in IBD?
Yeah, it's been fine. Um
Lucinda mentioned there were going to be
some changes in the team?
Oh. Well, this isn't the
place for that discussion.
There'll be a meeting on Monday.
Are there going to be cuts?
There's going to be a restructuring.
It's just a reshuffle.
Your team's being subsumed
into the other sector teams.
You're effectively disbanding the team
with the "culture problem"
to stop it looking systemic?
Well, firstly, that's very cynical.
And I take this suggestion
as an insult to me personally.
I mean, we have a duty
of care to remove you
from whatever may have been traumatic.
Okay, but how are you
gonna stop people thinking
working three nights in a
row is some kind of, well
a badge of honor?
Sorry.
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry I said that, I just
- Okay, all right.
- Is there anything else?
- What does that mean for us?
For me, Lucinda?
There's a VP spot in
Oil and Gas for Lucinda.
What about me?
We appreciate your talent.
We're keen to re-house you
where there's headcount.
- Where?
- CPS desk.
I don't want to sound, um, entitled.
I applied for IBD,
and I really don't want to
work on the trading floor.
Hey, I appreciate what
you've been through,
but I would think twice about
speaking to me like this again
because I do not respond well to it.
Okay?
- You definitely did!
- That was you!
She's a fucking
intellectual lightweight.
Runs marathons instead
of having a personality.
Go fund my fuck off.
She'll be gone within six months.
So, what are we gossiping about?
I am just drinking you
two under the table.
I'm having a private conversation.
Okay. Sorry. I thought I heard my name.
Yasmin, this might sound deeply strange,
but we weren't talking about you.
Okay, I thought you
were looking over at me.
I'm not fucking looking at you either.
Shock fucking horror.
Nobody gives a fuck about
what I think about you,
or or what you think about me.
Nobody gives a fuck.
See, the problem with this industry,
they keep hiring these
fucking princesses.
Which silly cunt was
it that interviewed you?
Actually I think I was the cunt.
That cunt was me!
Whoops!
Hey, buddy.
Don't talk to her like that.
Mind your own fucking business.
No! Don't talk to her like that.
Fuck off! Yeah?
Yes? What?
Kenny. Go home.
Fuck off, Eric. Don't start.
Go home.
Goodnight, all.
What the fuck are you looking at?
- You okay?
- Thanks.
Thank you.
Do the guys on your desk
always treat you like that?
Is your team not like that?
Eric's great.
Yeah, I mean, at least
he gives you agency.
No one's gonna give you agency.
You have to take it.
And try not to think about
all the different ways
that you can be wrong.
They don't.
Shall we?
Yeah.
I still haven't seen a British cock.
Oh, my God.
I I know that it's normal here,
but the polo neck look,
it looks like they're
wearing winter wear.
- Oh!
- Mm-hmm.
At least I have a double bed here.
I slept in a single my whole life.
What, even at home?
Oh my God, that's barbaric.
Yeah, I shared with my twin brother, JD.
Don't worry, we had our own beds.
And we barely even fucked.
What does he do?
Harper? What does he do?
He was kind of a superstar.
He had a scholarship, he
was about to go on tour,
and he woke up every day
at 4:00 a.m. to train.
Tennis.
He really didn't think that
athletes were born, you know?
- And what happened?
- He, um
he said that he was
going away for a while.
He took a coat and a bag,
and he left. Never came back.
When did this happen?
About four years ago.
That would really fuck me up.
He's an adult. He can live
with his fucking decisions.
Well, if you ever need a place to stay,
I have a spare room with a double bed.
Are you are you,
like, looking to sublet?
Well, I mean, yep, we can
We can figure something out.
Really? I would love that.
Oh, my Lord.
Who, me?
Whoa! Whoa, whoa!
My friend has something
she wants to say to you.
- Okay!
- Wait, wait, wait. What, what?
No, no, no, no, no, no! Oh!
White men can dance. Let me show you.
White men can't jump, dickhead.
- All right!
- I hate this. Thank you.
But I can jump!
Wyndy, you're an MD.
Spend some fucking money.
- Come on, mate.
- I'm already booked.
He said it's on Eric's account.
Oh! Well, then we're definitely
fucking getting in it, then.
Oy!
- Can I bunk in?
- We're going west.
Jackie, someone with my
accent must really scare you.
You're Finsbury Park, aren't you?
- Yeah.
- Is Finsbury Park west?
- It'll do.
- Another troubles joke.
It's that time of night.
The player that's
played in the Merseyside,
Old Firm, North London,
and Manchester derbies?
Uh
Beckham?
Oh, Greg. Oh Greg, Jesus.
- Excuse us, drive. Can you stop?
- Uh
No, I meant Victoria Beckham.
It's Kolo Touré, by the way.
Oh, good man!
You left early. You okay?
They're shutting down my fucking team.
Oh.
Do you want me to suck you off?
- Hey.
- Hey.
You used to love going down on me.
Yeah, I still do.
Eat me then.
Oh?
I think she slums.
What'd she say?
What'd she say? Let me see.
Let me see!
- It's none of your business.
- Hey!
It's just for me.
I still keep getting that
feeling whenever I wake up.
Like, I can't believe that I am here.
Yo, I'm on the ninth
stage of the journey.
The hero faces the
greatest challenge yet.
I cannot believe Eric lets
her speak in their meetings.
The hero experiences death
This isn't a social club.
- and re-birth.
- Ahem.
You're gonna pitch me this again,
and it's gonna be the
version I asked for.
In front of the entire team?
In front of the entire team.
I'm paraphrasing. It's
pretty cool, right?
Why are you here, then?
I think this is the closest thing
to a meritocracy there is.
I only ever want to be judged
on the strength of my abilities.
And paid for it.
Welcome, graduates.
While it's my pleasure
to congratulate you
on this placement,
the work to stay here starts now.
He works on my team.
He's a whole snack.
If you're into that
kind of a thing, I guess.
Do you do you know Gus?
Yeah, I live with him.
I know a lot about you two.
Have you been home?
I'm longing those nocturnal hours.
Trying to make a good
impression, you know?
Do not forget how this feels right now.
Oh, fuck!
Shove that cock in my
little asshole, please.
Yes! Come on. Come inside me.
Yes.
My pussy In my pussy Yeah.
Come on. Move, move, move.
Go on, right to the end.
That's right. Good.
Move, move, move. Good.
Good work. Keep going.
Big push. Right to the end. Go.
Perfect technique.
Maybe I should wear you to work.
I actually had to pay for these.
Thank you.
I did your Asia recap.
It's on your email.
I came in early and listened live.
That's good initiative, that.
It'd be good to get off the
desk sometime, have a debrief.
Coffee, beer, whatever.
Talk about your progress,
how to position yourself before RIF.
- I'm evaluated on it, so
- Yeah. Yeah, that'd be great.
Tomorrow? Oh, fuck no,
we have that grad dinner.
Maybe Friday?
Yeah. Yeah.
Um, in the day would be good.
Uh, 'cause I have plans
with my boyfriend in the evening.
I know you didn't mean
that like that, did you?
Uh
So, I know for a fact
a lot of people are
active on the street.
I wanna know why the flows
aren't coming our way.
Well, 80 percent of my guys are away.
- Mykonos or Ibiza?
- Did the girls enjoy Disneyland?
Cost me three G's for
my daughters to find out
Goofy's a Moroccan kid with a tiny head.
Hell is the line at Space Mountain.
Especially if you're
behind a Make-A-Wish.
All right, let's, uh,
let's convince some people
to part with their money in
the hope that they make more.
Yes, chef.
- Does he always change on the floor?
- It's an MD power thing.
What's the deal with Fenmarsh?
I haven't heard from Felim.
Called twice daily,
couldn't get past the junior.
- Did you say you worked for me?
- Yes.
Okay. Call every hour.
I got a meeting.
Oh, that's my broker laugh.
I only do it for you.
Because I find you so funny, of course.
Well, look, if it's not my client laugh,
then it's probably my
genuine laugh, yeah.
You'll never know which is which.
Speak soon.
He really didn't want to go away.
This Felim thing's got him spooked.
What do you think's going on?
I don't know.
But it doesn't bode well
for Eric's exclusivity thing.
Eric insists all his clients
only speak to him streetwide.
And Felim accounts for
over half the desk profits.
Look, if anyone comes
over my fucking hoot again
instead of messaging me,
I will personally bocat their mothers!
I think I'm gonna try and do an Ironman
or the Marathon des Sables.
With no training, obviously.
The guy gave me a freebie, so
No, I just wanted to
Yeah.
Could I put you on hold
for two seconds, please?
Where would you put
yourself on that continuum?
What is this?
So, if a nurse is here
where are you?
Wages on the Y axis
heel height on the X.
You've got very good privacy settings.
- Very good.
- What are you hiding?
I I was wearing a
low-cut top in a profile pic
when I was, like, 14.
Yeah, our DMs are a cesspit.
Bobbi went dark for, like, three months.
It felt like three lifetimes.
Guys online violate their standards
quicker than they can lower them.
That's hilarious.
You're funny. She's funny.
Thank you.
You look like you pay the rent on time.
Yeah. I work in finance.
It's not as interesting
as what you guys do.
We're just living.
Oh, we love that you're
a working woman, though.
Is that why you made me come at lunch?
Anyway, we're sort of past the point
where we want to be waking up
to random guys in the kitchen.
That's a shame. I was sort
of looking forward to a
stream of uncut dicks.
I love your place.
It's so white.
- We're exorcising demons.
- It's our new favorite color.
Mine too.
Felim's junior is a brick wall.
How many questions did you ask him
before you asked for his boss?
There are too many saleswomen
here trying to be salesmen.
I mean, how many people do you
think call Felim's junior a day?
I dunno, seven?
Why seven?
It's the first number
that came into my head.
And the amount of apartments
I've seen this week.
And how many women call him?
And how many women actually engage him?
You see, then you belong
to a nice, exclusive subset.
And you know, it's not
betraying your sex by
I mean, it's not regressive
to be a conversationalist.
You convince them you're a friend,
and they'll forget what they are.
- Which is?
- A counterparty.
What the fuck have you
done to that stock, Phil?
What do I mean? I mean you
rigged it five percent
Start of every call, flip it,
and don't talk business
until it runs out.
- This is unbelievable.
- This is beautiful.
- Dig in, please.
- Wow. Thank you so much.
This is fucking grown-up.
I I need to do
the honorable thing
here and lower the tone.
- Gentleman's cutlery.
- Put it away.
That can't be good for your palette.
Uh, I can eat on K.
And I pay your boyfriend's wages.
The company pays my wages.
What? So we are calling
my little venture
- a company, are we?
- Yeah.
I mean, it is fair to
say that I single-handedly
revolutionized student journalism, so
Yasmin, how did you have the time?
Oh, honestly, it's nothing.
- I did most of it this morning.
- Hmm.
When, uh, when did you do it all?
Uh, this this morning.
Oh I'm sorry. I'm
sorry, that was super rude.
- Oh.
-
Mom, it's Seb's birthday.
I need to hang this.
Wow. Let me grab that.
Is that Yasmin?
Happy birthday, Sebastian.
Thank you.
I hear you've moved
yourself into my basement.
Uh, yeah.
Very touched that you're using
one of your non-dom days on me.
Can I Can I get you a drink?
Oh.
Of course.
Beautiful house, Mrs. Kara-Hanani.
Why do people like this game?
It dispenses joy and misery at random.
- Hmm.
- Mimics life.
Great.
I've got this
performatively left-wing mate
who's high up at The
Guardian, and he is saying
that they're gonna run
a warts-and-all exposé
on Pierpoint.
- Really?
- Yeah.
About Hari?
And more.
Fucking wanker!
- Here we go!
- Come on!
- Oh, yes, chef!
- Absolutely not!
That's, like, four each. I
need to see another apartment.
My advice, turn up drunk. Easier.
I hate you, Robert Spearing.
Cheers, mate.
I've been thinking
about asking to transfer
to sales and trading.
Salespeople are the lowest of the low.
You are different, because
you think for yourself.
I mean, look, okay too intellectual.
See, now you look like a salesman.
Okay. But I can't see, so
I have seen you in contacts.
- Chin-chin!
- Chin-chin!
Do you like the room?
- It's a bit
- Fucking tiny.
Everything is en suite.
Hey did you vote for Trump?
So, what do you do?
I
- am in sales.
- Oh.
For a bank Pierpoint.
Isn't that where that guy died?
How do you sleep at night?
- What does that mean?
- I mean You know
No, I don't. You're
gonna have to tell me.
Bankers.
That level of self-interest
is just toxic, isn't it?
That's kind of reductive.
But isn't it a bit gauche
to judge success with money?
Not if you've never had any.
I can't believe you
would even countenance
wasting your intelligence
on the trading floor.
Fuck off! It was a joke!
This looks like a place
a salesman would live.
It's got a certain rustic charm to it.
- Rustic charm, you say?
- Yeah, it does.
- Does it?
- Either of you want a bevvie?
No, I'm good, I didn't
Um
- Uh, where's the toilet?
- It's just down on your left.
On the left, okay. Um
Just, uh
When the fuck did that start up again?
Nothing's started Can
we not talk about it now?
All right.
Is that Yasmin Kara-Hanani?
Yeah. Doesn't look
like she slums it, mate.
You know, why are women so
much more interesting to men,
than men are to women?
Yasmin was the perfect, perfect child.
And she wet her bed until she was nine.
Ah, I have a weak bladder myself.
But, other than that, she was perfect.
She was adorable.
So, we've just found the next big voice
in contemporary British literature.
She's 19, absolutely gorgeous.
The best part of publishing
is discovering new talent.
Do you have any advice
for an aspiring writer?
Mmm. Marry rich?
Or live at home.
Mmm, so, how many jobs have you had
since you left Bristol?
I'm losing count.
Um
Well, I was waiting
for something I loved.
Correct answer.
And, uh, you're still the lunch girl?
You have no experience of this,
so how would you know?
Okay, that's not the world anymore.
And can you please speak English?
I know how the world works.
Has the, um dynamic
changed since Alice moved in?
Yeah.
And it's, um, it's nice,
living in two places.
I like having her around all the time.
We have a lot less sex.
Well, I guess that's a casualty.
Oh, I listened to that, um,
podcast she recommended on clean eating.
Thought it was excellent.
Followed none of the advice.
Wait, sorry, um, when
did you speak to her?
Met her at a dinner party.
- Whose?
- Eugene's.
We have mutual friends.
Uh, and what did you talk about?
Podcasts.
Okay.
Oh, God. I remember this
Millionaire, 25. Cabinet, 35.
Party leader, 45. Prime minister, 55.
You know, Heseltine wrote his
on the back of an envelope.
You planned your life
in a copy of Vanity fucking Fair.
Yeah.
Your ambitions obviously
shifted focus
just a little bit.
Or is that you are just
following my lead.
You are always so hard for me.
Kiss me properly.
Uh
I'm feeling a bit bilious
Hey I don't want to do that.
Do what?
- Uh
- Hey.
I'm sorry.
Look, you're
you're obviously stressed.
If this job isn't making you happy
I'm just saying that
you're super talented
and you could do a million things.
Interest rates have fluctuated
from the highs of the early '90s
to the current all-time lows.
For a business that has a loan
that is linked to the base rate
Yeah, I've literally seen 20 places.
A lot of eccentrics.
Maybe I'm the weirdo.
Not sure what I'm gonna do.
Thanks for your transcript, finally.
But
I have a few more questions.
We wanted to
ask you about
any interactions you
might have had with Hari?
Um
We hung out a few times.
Mm-hmm. Did he seem stressed?
He worked really hard.
But you know, his
side of the business
that nocturnal culture
Oh, we're taking steps to address that.
Did you see him take anything?
How do you mean?
Did he seem like he was under
the influence of anything?
Uh study drugs? Adderall? Modafinil?
- I wouldn't say so.
- He seemed, as you said,
stressed, agitated, unfocused,
so you couldn't rule it out?
I couldn't definitively say yes or no.
I mean do you want me to?
People are saying he had a heart thing.
Hmm. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
But we were unaware of his condition.
We think a prescription pill
habit may have exacerbated it.
We're asking graduates
whether they neglected
to mention anything
on their applications.
You didn't leave anything out, did you?
Medical or otherwise?
No.
I think they're still figuring out
a splashy response. Press-friendly.
And what does that mean for us?
Means someone's going
to be held accountable.
I re-ran the model. I
don't think we thoroughly
went through the net debt adjustments.
HungerFix pushed Goldman
up to primary bookrunner.
They don't want us anywhere
near the top of the tombstone.
It's fucking bad PR.
Sorry, what do you mean, "tombstone"?
You get a little trophy
when you complete a deal.
Tombstone.
Nobody is questioning your drive,
but for me, please, come
in later, leave earlier,
decompress.
I cannot be seen to be mismanaging you.
Have you spoken to the counselor?
No.
Even if you feel you don't need to,
I need you to. Do you
understand what I'm saying?
It's good optics.
It wasn't a waste of
time. He helped me
re-evaluate.
So the first Cobb is
with bacon, no Stilton,
and the second one is without bacon.
Yeah, that's what I've given you.
Sorry, I specifically said
no dressing on any of them.
We're just gonna have to
start again, sorry. And
Muy bien, gracias.
Ugh, God.
I can't believe I didn't
know you were at Pierpoint.
- Well done.
- Thank you.
Although it must be a weird
time to be there, right now.
Oh, but how's Brevan Howard?
How long have you been there now?
- Seven years in Tibet.
- Oh.
No, no, no. It's a good thing.
- I have their blessing.
- Oh.
Can't really talk about
it much at the moment.
- So, what are you working in?
- Oh, Foreign Exchange.
That's great!
We're in the same part of the business.
Thanks.
Welcome to the Wild West.
Gracias. Mucho gracias.
I just think, you know, if
I had biceps like that
with the vein running down
it, that that bulge.
- You know, like
- Zac Efron.
- Yeah, the Zac Efron.
- The Zefron.
Yeah, I know I should be
thinking about other things,
like the suicide rate among
men my age or whatever,
but is that really realistic?
I just think the veiny bicep
You think Pierpoint's Irish,
you should go out with
Morgan Stanley guys,
it's like the fucking Irish Mob.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Um you going to that,
um, grad dinner tonight?
Yeah. Well, it's mandatory, isn't it?
Right.
Can I help with something?
Yeah. Do you have access
to the FX ClientTracker?
I don't We, um, we
just don't have a full list
of shared FX and CPS clients.
I'm not sure I can share it with you.
Yeah. Don't worry, I
don't need full access.
I just, um one of my
clients is double-booked
with one of your guys.
And, um, you know how it is.
I just want to iron out the kink.
Sure, yeah, um what's
your client's name?
Uh
Oh shit, he's not there.
My bad. See you at the dinner.
Okay.
Thank you.
- Where's my change?
- Oh, sorry.
Amateur.
You should be making money out of this.
Call it a salad yield.
And
I won't out you now,
but remember you owe me.
- What do you mean?
- I asked for croutons.
You never asked for croutons.
Tash! Croutons. Do I eat them?
I'm passionate about croutons.
Remember, all the best friendships
- start with a conspiracy.
- Okay, Kenny.
Best part of the day,
Yasmin's trade idea.
Be ready to have your mind detonated.
- Oh, wait, just
- This is for your growth, okay?
You're part of this desk, so
you're part of its rituals.
Pull up a pew.
And imagine I burst into
flames when I'm bored.
- Go!
- Um
Okay, I thought we could short cable
What's cable?
Um, it's dollar-sterling.
Oh, so you're gonna
talk about Europe, then?
What's your target and stop?
Uh, 1.25 to 1.35.
So a symmetric bet from 1-spot-3-0?
Why not just flip a
coin? Put it all on black.
The art here is to look
like you're not doing that.
Yeah, I just thought with
everything that's going on
- with Europe at the moment, that we could
- Well, that's fucking specific.
Yasmin, that is uninspired.
Inspire her.
I could put a hundred
grads in front of me,
95 would pitch me that.
You're dead on RIF.
Now, what did we prove?
Did I ask for croutons?
You must have done.
Well remembered. You can get up now.
How was lunch?
Tasteless.
Did you get my message?
Felim's in the building this afternoon.
Is he meeting FX research?
Um, Hilary Wyndham?
Why the fuck is he
meeting another salesman?
If Felim wants to trade FX,
he knows he can do it through this desk.
- What time is he in?
- Four.
You around at 3:50?
Yeah.
Why?
There are many aspects of this job
that you'll learn by osmosis,
but horse-whispering
a fucked-off client
that's an art.
I'm giving you face time with
the guy who gets us all paid.
Go on. Take a swing.
Okay, 3:50. Thank you.
Mm-hmm.
Felim, I knew you'd be ten minutes early
- for your meeting.
- Eric.
I wanted to introduce you to
one of our brightest grads.
Harper Stern.
Pleasure.
We actually already
emailed. I sent you that
US tail risk stuff.
Oh, that was you? That was excellent.
Thank you.
Please.
Look, uh
Eric, I'm not sure this is
the right way to go about whatever it is
you're trying to achieve.
Engineering this,
bringing this young lady
into the room as
I don't know what, a prop?
I would've thought
that if our relationship
had gone south, you'd
have the grace to call.
Instead of me finding out over lunch
with one of your PMs.
I told him in confidence.
Well, he told me in confidence.
Look, I'm hoping we're
not ruining a friendship
over miscommunication.
Would we call it a friendship?
What? Why are you saying that?
I don't know, Eric, maybe
you think it's acceptable
to call your wife that in
front of her own friends,
but my wife did not appreciate it.
Ca
Do you even remember what you said?
Because I'd prefer not to repeat it.
I look for character
in my friends, Eric.
I look for character in
my salesmen, or saleswomen.
Wai wai what's
really going on here?
Why why are you talking to me like
like we're in the Great American Novel?
My "character"?
You know my character.
I know you're meeting
Wyndham in FX, so you
you obviously don't want to relinquish
the Pierpoint offering.
Citi, MS, GS don't have our talent.
And Wyndham?
I mean, he he's into soccer.
You wanna spend the first two minutes
of every transaction
pretending to like it?
Here Here's where I'm serious.
When you're writing your
next investor letter,
do you really wanna be
meditating on the fact
that you missed a
percentage point of returns
because of your wife?
Right?
You call me when you need persuading.
You call me when you need reassuring.
That's a friendship.
Why waste your time
building that intimacy again?
Next next time our
wives want dinner
I'm gonna say I have a bug.
Oh, Hilary?
Good to see you. We're vacating.
You catch the Spurs last night?
Oh yes, yes. They ran riot.
Sure did. Enjoy your meeting.
Yeah, I inherited two suboptimal things
from my father,
his Spurs season ticket and flat feet.
Why didn't you speak up?
Sorry. I I didn't know
that you wanted me to.
I don't need quiet and nice on my desk.
This this stays between us. Clear?
- Mm-hmm.
- See you at dinner.
So, we just wanted to
get everyone together
because it has been
a difficult few weeks.
For our institution, for all of us,
pastoral care is as high on the agenda
as it's ever been.
We wanted to show you
how much we appreciate
your resilience and focus,
from myself and all
your bosses here tonight.
They'll be the ones
shepherding you through to RIF
and, ultimately, help you
to become permanent hires.
You are looking more and
more like Pierpoint people.
Enjoy.
So, I hear the girl on Eric's desk
is already doing suppers,
and I was just wondering,
you know, do you think I'll
ever master the salad run,
or, like
Jackie did it. Kenny did
it. I did it. You do it.
It is the great equalizer.
And it all counts on RIF.
What have you learned so far?
That, um, that men
eat salads as penance.
Oh! Yeah.
Mate, if it was me, I'd be pissed.
- Why?
- She's missed his birthday,
she's like sold her entire personality
- to Meryl Streep.
- So what? Who cares?
If your girlfriend missed
your birthday, right? For work?
What are you, seven? It's Anne Hathaway.
Adrian Grenier is a fucking adult.
Honestly, Adrian Grenier
is a grown-ass man.
- Thank you! She's woke.
- You sound so white!
- Yeah and ancient.
- I am ancient. And I am white.
And I do kiss my dogs on the mouth.
You know, I thought you were some
- straight-laced Oxford boy.
- Yeah?
Mm-hmm.
Who says I'm not?
So, my flatmate
Gus, he told me you lived opposite Hari.
You're friends with that asshole Gus?
Have you met him?
No, but from what Hari said about him,
he seems like an entitled prick.
Yeah
- but you don't know him.
- Hmm.
Are those prescription glasses?
Have you ever seen a
porno, where, like, a
porn star plays a nerd?
Yo, can you stop flirting
so I can do a strike, please?
Oh, ice.
Hey, Greg.
I'm fine. Uh, I would
like to pilot the scheme
that I did at my old place here.
- I Yeah, I heard about that.
- Did you hear about the couriering?
I heard I heard brilliant things.
- I heard about that.
- Korean Korean breast milk
- Hello.
- Sara.
- Hi.
- Could I ask you something?
Yes. Yes, you can. Sorry, excuse me.
Do you do you wanna go over here?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Go, go ahead.
How's the atmosphere been in IBD?
Yeah, it's been fine. Um
Lucinda mentioned there were going to be
some changes in the team?
Oh. Well, this isn't the
place for that discussion.
There'll be a meeting on Monday.
Are there going to be cuts?
There's going to be a restructuring.
It's just a reshuffle.
Your team's being subsumed
into the other sector teams.
You're effectively disbanding the team
with the "culture problem"
to stop it looking systemic?
Well, firstly, that's very cynical.
And I take this suggestion
as an insult to me personally.
I mean, we have a duty
of care to remove you
from whatever may have been traumatic.
Okay, but how are you
gonna stop people thinking
working three nights in a
row is some kind of, well
a badge of honor?
Sorry.
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry I said that, I just
- Okay, all right.
- Is there anything else?
- What does that mean for us?
For me, Lucinda?
There's a VP spot in
Oil and Gas for Lucinda.
What about me?
We appreciate your talent.
We're keen to re-house you
where there's headcount.
- Where?
- CPS desk.
I don't want to sound, um, entitled.
I applied for IBD,
and I really don't want to
work on the trading floor.
Hey, I appreciate what
you've been through,
but I would think twice about
speaking to me like this again
because I do not respond well to it.
Okay?
- You definitely did!
- That was you!
She's a fucking
intellectual lightweight.
Runs marathons instead
of having a personality.
Go fund my fuck off.
She'll be gone within six months.
So, what are we gossiping about?
I am just drinking you
two under the table.
I'm having a private conversation.
Okay. Sorry. I thought I heard my name.
Yasmin, this might sound deeply strange,
but we weren't talking about you.
Okay, I thought you
were looking over at me.
I'm not fucking looking at you either.
Shock fucking horror.
Nobody gives a fuck about
what I think about you,
or or what you think about me.
Nobody gives a fuck.
See, the problem with this industry,
they keep hiring these
fucking princesses.
Which silly cunt was
it that interviewed you?
Actually I think I was the cunt.
That cunt was me!
Whoops!
Hey, buddy.
Don't talk to her like that.
Mind your own fucking business.
No! Don't talk to her like that.
Fuck off! Yeah?
Yes? What?
Kenny. Go home.
Fuck off, Eric. Don't start.
Go home.
Goodnight, all.
What the fuck are you looking at?
- You okay?
- Thanks.
Thank you.
Do the guys on your desk
always treat you like that?
Is your team not like that?
Eric's great.
Yeah, I mean, at least
he gives you agency.
No one's gonna give you agency.
You have to take it.
And try not to think about
all the different ways
that you can be wrong.
They don't.
Shall we?
Yeah.
I still haven't seen a British cock.
Oh, my God.
I I know that it's normal here,
but the polo neck look,
it looks like they're
wearing winter wear.
- Oh!
- Mm-hmm.
At least I have a double bed here.
I slept in a single my whole life.
What, even at home?
Oh my God, that's barbaric.
Yeah, I shared with my twin brother, JD.
Don't worry, we had our own beds.
And we barely even fucked.
What does he do?
Harper? What does he do?
He was kind of a superstar.
He had a scholarship, he
was about to go on tour,
and he woke up every day
at 4:00 a.m. to train.
Tennis.
He really didn't think that
athletes were born, you know?
- And what happened?
- He, um
he said that he was
going away for a while.
He took a coat and a bag,
and he left. Never came back.
When did this happen?
About four years ago.
That would really fuck me up.
He's an adult. He can live
with his fucking decisions.
Well, if you ever need a place to stay,
I have a spare room with a double bed.
Are you are you,
like, looking to sublet?
Well, I mean, yep, we can
We can figure something out.
Really? I would love that.
Oh, my Lord.
Who, me?
Whoa! Whoa, whoa!
My friend has something
she wants to say to you.
- Okay!
- Wait, wait, wait. What, what?
No, no, no, no, no, no! Oh!
White men can dance. Let me show you.
White men can't jump, dickhead.
- All right!
- I hate this. Thank you.
But I can jump!
Wyndy, you're an MD.
Spend some fucking money.
- Come on, mate.
- I'm already booked.
He said it's on Eric's account.
Oh! Well, then we're definitely
fucking getting in it, then.
Oy!
- Can I bunk in?
- We're going west.
Jackie, someone with my
accent must really scare you.
You're Finsbury Park, aren't you?
- Yeah.
- Is Finsbury Park west?
- It'll do.
- Another troubles joke.
It's that time of night.
The player that's
played in the Merseyside,
Old Firm, North London,
and Manchester derbies?
Uh
Beckham?
Oh, Greg. Oh Greg, Jesus.
- Excuse us, drive. Can you stop?
- Uh
No, I meant Victoria Beckham.
It's Kolo Touré, by the way.
Oh, good man!
You left early. You okay?
They're shutting down my fucking team.
Oh.
Do you want me to suck you off?
- Hey.
- Hey.
You used to love going down on me.
Yeah, I still do.
Eat me then.
Oh?
I think she slums.
What'd she say?
What'd she say? Let me see.
Let me see!
- It's none of your business.
- Hey!
It's just for me.
I still keep getting that
feeling whenever I wake up.
Like, I can't believe that I am here.
Yo, I'm on the ninth
stage of the journey.
The hero faces the
greatest challenge yet.
I cannot believe Eric lets
her speak in their meetings.
The hero experiences death
This isn't a social club.
- and re-birth.
- Ahem.
You're gonna pitch me this again,
and it's gonna be the
version I asked for.
In front of the entire team?
In front of the entire team.
I'm paraphrasing. It's
pretty cool, right?
